00:01:57.71\00:02:00.35
AND THANK YOU FOR
SUPPORTING THE MINISTRY OF 3ABN.
00:02:00.35\00:02:04.42

THANK YOU FOR THAT, BECAUSE
SOULS ARE BEING WON FOR THE
00:02:07.76\00:02:12.19
KINGDOM THROUGH 3ABN, THROUGH
ADVENTIST MISSION, AND OTHER
00:02:12.19\00:02:17.23
MISSIONS AROUND THE WORLD.
WE HAVE ANOTHER ROLL WE WANT TO
00:02:17.23\00:02:19.83
GO TO -- AND IS THIS THE
ONE WITH YOU ON A BICYCLE?
00:02:19.83\00:02:25.71
>> I AM
REMARKABLY SO, IN MY OLD AGE.
00:02:25.71\00:02:30.11

IT IS NOT REMARKABLE.
00:02:30.11\00:02:32.28
>> THANK YOU SO MUCH.
>> SHALL WE GO TO THAT ROLL
00:02:32.28\00:02:36.55

00:02:36.55\00:02:37.62
>> OKAY. ¤
00:02:37.62\00:02:41.46
>> I JUST LOVE GLOBAL MISSION
PIONEERS, PUTTING CHRIST'S
00:02:41.46\00:02:48.43
MISSION INTO PRACTICE.
THEY TEACH ME ABOUT SACRIFICE.
00:02:48.43\00:02:53.34
THEY TEACH ME ABOUT COMMITMENT.
AND THE ANNUAL SACRIFICE
00:02:53.34\00:02:57.04
OFFERING IS A WONDERFUL
OPPORTUNITY TO HELP SUPPORT
00:02:57.04\00:02:59.47
THESE PIONEERS, A BASIC LIVING
STIPEND PROVIDES A ROOF OVER
00:02:59.47\00:03:04.58
THEIR HEADS, SOME FOOD ON THEIR
TABLE, AND BASIC RESOURCES IN
00:03:04.58\00:03:08.42
THEIR HANDS, AND THINGS SUCH
AS TRANSPORTATION, A BASIC BIKE
00:03:08.42\00:03:14.22
MAKES ALL THE DIFFERENCE IN THE
LIFE OF A PIONEER, WHETHER IT IS
00:03:14.22\00:03:19.56
OUT IN THE VILLAGES OR A CITY
GOING BLOCK TO BLOCK, IT CAN
00:03:19.56\00:03:24.33
SAVE A LOT OF TIME.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT OF
00:03:24.33\00:03:29.04
THE GLOBAL MISSION PIONEERS
THROUGH THE ANNUAL SACRIFICE
00:03:29.04\00:03:34.31
OFFERING. >> IT'S
PART OF ADVENTIST'S GOAL
00:03:34.31\00:03:38.48
OF REACHING AREAS
IN PRACTICAL WAYS.
00:03:38.48\00:03:42.95
THEY ARE LOCAL MEMBERS WHO
WORK IN THEIR OWN CULTURES.
00:03:42.95\00:03:46.52
THEY DO NOT FACE SOME OF
THE BARRIERS MISSIONARIES MAY
00:03:46.52\00:03:52.76
ENCOUNTER. >>
BEFORE I GOT THE BICYCLE, I
00:03:52.76\00:03:56.06
WALK. SO IT WAS HARD FOR ME.
00:03:56.06\00:04:00.70
>> THE MAJORITY IN THE COUNTRY
ARE MEN, BUT FOUR WOMEN ALSO
00:04:00.70\00:04:06.74
SERVE.
00:04:06.74\00:04:09.64
THE YOUNGEST ARE IN THEIR 30S,
WHILE THE OLDEST ARE IN THEIR
00:04:16.99\00:04:22.96
60S. THE LIFE OF
A GMP IS HARD WITH
00:04:22.96\00:04:27.20
LIMITED RESOURCES, DEEPLY ROOTED
TRADITIONS IN THEIR COMMUNITIES,
00:04:27.20\00:04:32.13
AND OFTEN CHALLENGING
SURROUNDINGS, YET THEY CONTINUE
00:04:32.13\00:04:35.60
TO EXPRESS THEIR
FAITH IN PRACTICAL WAYS.
00:04:35.60\00:04:40.48
>> BUT WHEN I RECEIVED THE
BICYCLE AT THIS MOMENT IT'S VERY
00:04:40.48\00:04:49.38
EASY. >> WALKING
LONG DISTANCES TAKES
00:04:49.38\00:04:52.49
A SUBSTANTIAL AMOUNT OF TIME.
TIME THAT COULD BE BETTER SPENT
00:04:52.49\00:04:56.86
WITH THE PEOPLE
IN THEIR COMMUNITIES.
00:04:56.86\00:04:59.56
>> THE ANSWER TO THIS CHALLENGE
CAME IN THE FORM OF SPECIAL FUND
00:05:07.87\00:05:13.24
FROM THE GENERAL CONFERENCE.
BANGLADESH GMP'S GATHERED IN
00:05:13.24\00:05:22.85
DACA FOR A DAY OF TRAINING, AND
TO CELEBRATE THE DISTRIBUTION OF
00:05:22.85\00:05:26.32
THE BICYCLES THAT WOULD MAKE
THEIR MINISTRIES MORE COMPLETE.
00:05:26.32\00:05:30.33
>> THANKS TO THESE GIFT,
THE JOURNEY FOR THESE GMP'S WILL
00:05:45.87\00:05:50.55
FOREVER BE SHORTER, AND THE
MEMORY OF YOUR SUPPORT FOR THEIR
00:05:50.55\00:05:54.82
MINISTRY WILL GO WITH THEM.
00:05:54.82\00:05:58.02
>> THANK YOU! >> FOR
MORE INFORMATION ABOUT
00:06:07.66\00:06:10.67
THE GLOBAL MISSION
PIONEER PROGRAM, GO TO
00:06:10.67\00:06:19.97
WWW.ADVENTISTMISSION.ORG.
00:06:19.97\00:06:21.98
>> PASTOR GARY, YOU DID
A GREAT JOB ON THE BIKE.
00:06:29.85\00:06:33.15
>> THANK YOU SO MUCH. YOU
DON'T KNOW HOW MANY TAKES IT
00:06:33.15\00:06:36.79
TOOK. >> YOU WERE PEDDLING AND
00:06:36.79\00:06:38.63
TALKING -- >> REMARKABLE.
00:06:38.63\00:06:40.03
>> VERY SOPHISTICATED.
BUT I WROTE DOWN THE NUMBER,
00:06:40.03\00:06:45.27
THERE'S 2500 GLOBAL MISSION
PIONEERS, AND MANY OF THEM USE
00:06:45.27\00:06:49.07
THE BICYCLE, AND THIS IS A
HELP TO THEM IN THEIR WORK.
00:06:49.07\00:06:52.77
>> A BIG HELP, YEAH.
AND THE ANNUAL SACRIFICE
00:06:52.77\00:06:57.71
OFFERING, MUCH OF IT IS USED
TO HELP GLOBAL MISSION PIONEERS.
00:06:57.71\00:07:02.68
AND SERIOUSLY, SOME OF THESE
PIONEERS MAY BE GETTING 50 TO
00:07:02.68\00:07:08.02
$100 A MONTH. THEY SACRIFICE.
00:07:08.02\00:07:09.86
>> OH, YEAH. THAT IS SACRIFICE.
00:07:09.86\00:07:14.36
>> SO THERE ARE BICYCLES
HERE -- WE WERE IN ONE COUNTRY
00:07:14.36\00:07:17.33
ONE TIME, AND THEY WERE ACTUALLY
IN A GANG PARK WHERE THE PIONEER
00:07:17.33\00:07:23.27
WAS WORKING IN THAT REGION,
AND WE SAID WOULD A BICYCLE HELP
00:07:23.27\00:07:29.88
YOUR WORK? AND
EVEN LAUGHED AT US.
00:07:29.88\00:07:32.71
AND WE SAID WHAT IS GOING ON?
AND HE SAID, YOU CAN'T RIDE A
00:07:32.71\00:07:39.62
BIKE HERE, THE
ELEPHANTS WILL CHASE YOU.
00:07:39.62\00:07:44.83
[ LAUGHTER ] >> YOU
DON'T THINK ABOUT BEING
00:07:44.83\00:07:47.13
CHASED BY AN ELEPHANT -- >>
I NEVER WOULD HAVE THOUGHT OF
00:07:47.13\00:07:50.77
THAT. >> IT'S
NOT A BIG ISSUE HERE?
00:07:50.77\00:07:53.07
>> IT'S NOT A BIG ISSUE.
>> NOW WE ARE GOING TO ANOTHER
00:07:53.07\00:07:59.11
ONE WHERE WE
SEE DOUG ON A VIDEO.
00:07:59.11\00:08:04.15
>> OKAY. THIS IS IN JAPAN?
00:08:04.15\00:08:05.91
>> THIS IS IN JAPAN. >>
I'M HERE IN TOKYO, ONE OF THE
00:08:05.91\00:08:09.65
WORLD'S LARGEST CITIES, AND I'M
SURROUNDING BY NEW AND POTENTIAL
00:08:09.65\00:08:14.22
FRIENDS, BUT EVEN THOUGH
I'M SURROUNDED BY PEOPLE, IT'S
00:08:14.22\00:08:18.63
REALLY HARD TO
CONNECT HEART TO HEART.
00:08:18.63\00:08:20.96
THEY ARE ISOLATED, LONELY,
EVEN THOUGH WE ARE SURROUNDED BY
00:08:20.96\00:08:24.83
PEOPLE. SO LET'S
CHECK OUT AN URBAN
00:08:24.83\00:08:27.20
CENTER OF DIFFERENCE THAT
IS MAKING A DIFFERENCE TO THE
00:08:27.20\00:08:29.47
LONELY HEARTS. ¤
00:08:29.47\00:08:32.84
>> I'M HERE WITH MY FRIEND
AND HE IS THE SABBATH SCHOOL AND
00:08:42.48\00:08:48.49
PERSONAL MINISTRIES DIRECTOR
FOF THE JAPAN CONFERENCE.
00:08:48.49\00:08:53.16
IT'S SO GOOD TO
BE HERE WITH YOU.
00:08:53.16\00:08:55.23
CAN YOU TELL US ABOUT HOW
LONG HAS THE CHRISTIAN TELEPHONE
00:08:55.23\00:08:59.77
FRIENDS MINISTRY BEEN GOING?
00:08:59.77\00:09:05.47
>> AS I CONTINUED TALKING WITH
MY FRIEND, HE SHARED WITH ME
00:09:09.21\00:09:13.72
THAT IN TOKYO, THERE ARE A LOT
OF LONELY PEOPLE WHO NEED HELP.
00:09:13.72\00:09:17.52
THEY SHUT THEMSELVES IN
THEIR HOMES AND DISCONNECT FROM
00:09:17.52\00:09:20.62
SOCIETY. IT'S A
DEFENSE MECHANISM TO COPE
00:09:20.62\00:09:23.39
WITH THE OVERWHELMING AMOUNT OF
PEOPLE, DESPITE BEING IN SUCH A
00:09:23.39\00:09:28.96
LARGE CITY, THEY FIND A
WAY TO ISOLATE THEMSELVES.
00:09:28.96\00:09:34.50
THE ADVENTIST CHURCH STARTED A
MINISTRY CALLED CHRISTIAN PHONE
00:09:34.50\00:09:43.98
FRIENDS. A TEAM
GOES THROUGH EXTENSIVE
00:09:43.98\00:09:49.35
TRAINING. CHURCH
MEMBERS DISTRIBUTE CARDS
00:09:49.35\00:09:52.42
AND POST ADS
THROUGHOUT THE CITY.
00:09:52.42\00:09:55.76
AND PEOPLE HAVE
BEEN CONTACTING THEM.
00:09:55.76\00:09:57.63
THIS HAS ALLOWED THE SEVENTH-DAY
ADVENTIST CHURCH IN JAPAN TO
00:09:57.63\00:10:03.87
MINISTER TO COUNTLESS LIVES.
YET TOKYO ISN'T THE ONLY CITY
00:10:03.87\00:10:08.67
WHERE PEOPLE FEEL ALONE.
MANY HAVE MANAGED TO ISOLATE
00:10:08.67\00:10:13.01
THEMSELVES NOT JUST FROM
OTHERS, BUT ALSO FROM GOD.
00:10:13.01\00:10:16.31
THIS TYPE OF OUTREACH CAN
BE REPLICATED IN OTHER PLACES.
00:10:16.31\00:10:20.98
FOR ANYONE WHO WANTS TO DISCIPLE
AND MINISTER TO THOSE WHO DON'T
00:10:20.98\00:10:26.82
KNOW GOD YET, HOW CAN YOU
USE THIS MODEL IN YOUR CITY.
00:10:26.82\00:10:30.96
THANK YOU FOR JOINING ME IN
TOKYO, THE WORLD'S LARGEST CITY.
00:10:30.96\00:10:34.93
I HOPE YOU WERE INSPIRED BY THIS
STORY, ON HOW THEY ARE ABLE TO
00:10:34.93\00:10:40.97
MEET SEEDS IN THE COMMUNITY
AND THEN BE ABLE TO STEP-BY-STEP
00:10:40.97\00:10:47.11
MAKE DISCIPLES,
JUST LIKE JESUS DID.
00:10:47.11\00:10:50.05
JOIN ME IN PRAYING FOR
THIS CITY, AS WELL AS ALL OF THE
00:10:50.05\00:10:53.42
OTHER CITIES AROUND THE
WORLD, AS WE UPLIFT JESUS AS WE
00:10:53.42\00:10:57.85
CONTINUE OUR
MISSION TO THE CITY.
00:10:57.85\00:10:59.42
¤
00:10:59.42\00:11:01.79
>> WHAT A
CREATIVE WAY TO WITNESS.
00:11:05.26\00:11:07.66
I WOULD HAVE NEVER THOUGHT
OF BEING A PHONE FRIEND AND
00:11:07.66\00:11:10.13
LEARNING HOW TO LISTEN AND PRAY
WITH SOMEONE OVER THE PHONE AND
00:11:10.13\00:11:13.70
HELP THEM. THAT IS
TRULY JESUS METHOD, HOW
00:11:13.70\00:11:16.71
YOU MENTIONED THAT QUOTE
FROM ELLEN WHITE BEFORE, THAT IS
00:11:16.71\00:11:22.18
JESUS METHOD OF
FULFILLING THE NEEDS.
00:11:22.18\00:11:25.21
>> AND IT WAS THRILLING AS I HAD
A CHANCE TO SEE THE CREATIVITY
00:11:25.21\00:11:29.38
OF THE JAPANESE, AND HOW THEY
HAVE BEEN DEVELOPING THIS AND
00:11:29.38\00:11:32.85
OTHER MINISTRIES TO ACTUALLY
THEN WORK IN THESE LARGEST URBAN
00:11:32.85\00:11:38.29
ENVIRONMENT, AND I'M SO THRILLED
BECAUSE THEIR EXAMPLE -- AND
00:11:38.29\00:11:42.96
THEIR CREATIVITY IS ACTUALLY
A BLESSING TO OTHER CITIES.
00:11:42.96\00:11:47.77
>> AMEN. >> SO
TONIGHT WE'RE NOT ONLY
00:11:47.77\00:11:51.51
HEARING ABOUT MISSION STORIES,
WE HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO HELP
00:11:51.51\00:11:55.91
SUPPORT. >> THAT'S RIGHT WE DO.
00:11:55.91\00:11:57.98
THE ANNUAL OFFERING WILL TAKE
PLACE ON SABBATH NOVEMBER 10TH.
00:11:57.98\00:12:02.78
BUT YOU DON'T HAVE TO
WAIT TO DONATE OR SUPPORT.
00:12:02.78\00:12:06.05
FEEL FREE TO GIVE THEM
A CALL AT 800-648-5824.
00:12:06.05\00:12:17.73
OR YOU CAN GO TO THEIR WEBSITE.
THAT'S ADVENTISTMISSION.ORG.
00:12:17.73\00:12:25.74
AND IF YOU WANT TO SUPPORT
ONE OF THOSE 2500 GLOBAL MISSION
00:12:25.74\00:12:30.85
PIONEER, AND I'M SURE THAT THEY
WOULD SAY, WE COULD USE 2600 OR
00:12:30.85\00:12:36.82
2700, BECAUSE THE NEED IS GREAT.
IF YOU WANT TO SUPPORT THE BIKE
00:12:36.82\00:12:41.46
MINISTRY, OR ONE OF
THE OTHER MINISTRIES.
00:12:41.46\00:12:44.06
NOW IS THE TIME TO DO THAT.
>> WHEN THEY GO TO THE WEBSITE,
00:12:44.06\00:12:49.83
WHAT DO THEY SEE?
SOMETHING SAYS DONATE?
00:12:49.83\00:12:53.07
OR WHAT IS THE PROCESS?
>> WHAT WE FOCUS ON A LOT ARE
00:12:53.07\00:12:57.44
MISSION STORIES. >> SO
THERE ARE MISSION STORIES
00:12:57.44\00:13:00.81
ON THE WEBSITE. >> YES.
00:13:00.81\00:13:02.18
AND IN THE CORNER THERE
IS A BUTTON THAT SAYS DONATE.
00:13:02.18\00:13:06.41
AND THEY CAN CLICK ON THAT, AND
THERE ARE DIFFERENT CHOICES THEY
00:13:06.41\00:13:10.75
CAN MAKE AS TO WHERE THEY
WANT THOSE OFFERINGS TO GO?
00:13:10.75\00:13:14.52
>> AMEN. >> AND
THESE ARE TAX DEDUCTIBLE?
00:13:14.52\00:13:20.20
>> ABSOLUTELY.
>> THAT'S EXCITING.
00:13:20.20\00:13:22.36
>> WHERE ARE WE GOING NEXT?
>> WE'RE TRAVELING TO BRAZIL, TO
00:13:22.36\00:13:26.70
VISIT -- WELL, BEFORE IT
STARTS. URBAN MINISTRY IS HARD.
00:13:26.70\00:13:31.47
IT'S EXPENSIVE. PEOPLE ARE BUSY.
00:13:31.47\00:13:34.84
GETTING ACCESS TO
HOMES, IT'S VERY HARD.
00:13:34.84\00:13:37.55
SO YOU HAVE TO COME UP WITH
CREATIVE IDEAS MOVING FORWARD.
00:13:37.55\00:13:42.18
AND YOU'LL SEE AN
EXAMPLE IN THIS NEXT ROLL.
00:13:42.18\00:13:47.62
>> WE'RE IN THE SOUTH OF BRAZIL,
THIS IS ONE OF THE MOST AFTER
00:13:47.62\00:13:53.50
FLEWANT AREAS OF
THE AMAZONIAN AREA.
00:13:53.50\00:14:03.64
SHOPPING CENTERS ARE A POPULAR
ATTRACTION FOR CITY DWELLERS,
00:14:03.64\00:14:07.74
AND THIS MALL IS
ONE OF THE BEST IN TOWN.
00:14:07.74\00:14:11.51
ALTHOUGH YOU WOULD NEVER IMAGINE
MINDING A CHURCH INSIDE THIS
00:14:11.51\00:14:14.25
PLAZA, THAT'S EXACTLY WHERE
MANY MEMBERS AND GUESTS COME TO
00:14:14.25\00:14:19.49
WORSHIP EACH SABBATH. ¤
00:14:19.49\00:14:22.29
>> WE'RE INSIDE A MALL.
IT'S ONE OF THE LARGEST IN TOWN,
00:14:22.29\00:14:25.53
AND THIS FACT ALONE
MAKES THIS PLACE UNIQUE.
00:14:25.53\00:14:28.86
SOME PEOPLE WON'T ATTEND A
REGULAR CHURCH, SO THEY HAVE
00:14:28.86\00:14:32.23
COME TO THE MALL. THERE
ARE MANY GUESTS HERE THAT
00:14:32.23\00:14:35.67
DIDN'T GO TO CHURCH BEFORE,
BUT AS THEY ARRIVED AT THE MALL,
00:14:35.67\00:14:40.58
THEY FOUND OUR THEATER CHURCH,
AND LIKED IT, AND REMAINED HERE.
00:14:40.58\00:14:47.32
>> THIS REPRESENTS A
HUGE CHALLENGE FOR MISSION.
00:14:47.32\00:14:52.92
MANY HAVE
FORGOTTEN THE LOVE OF JESUS.
00:14:52.92\00:14:58.49
THIS IS THE LAST
DISTRICT WITHOUT AN ADVENTIST
00:14:58.49\00:15:01.06
CONGREGATION. IT
IS CHALLENGING FOR A
00:15:01.06\00:15:05.30
TRADITIONAL CHURCH TO
ENTER AN AFFLUANT NEIGHBORHOOD.
00:15:05.30\00:15:19.18
THIS AT -- ATTRACTED THE
INTEREST OF PEOPLE WHO WANTED TO
00:15:19.18\00:15:26.12
LEARN MORE ABOUT THE
CHURCH AND THE BIBLE.
00:15:26.12\00:15:28.59
>> AS A RESULT OF OUR DECISION
TO CONGREGATE IN THE MALL, THIS
00:15:28.59\00:15:33.93
OPENED THE DOOR TO SEVERAL
NEW PEOPLE WHO AT TEN HERE.
00:15:33.93\00:15:39.83
OUR WORSHIP STYLE
IS A LITTLE DIFFERENT.
00:15:39.83\00:15:45.27
IT'S VERY LIVELY AND ENERGETIC.
EVEN OUR DRESS IS MORE RELAXED
00:15:45.27\00:15:49.94
AND INFORMAL BY LOSING THE TIE
AND SUIT JACKET, IT'S EASIER TO
00:15:49.94\00:15:56.08
RELATE TO VISITORS THIS WAY.
PEOPLE SHOPPING AT THE MALL LOOK
00:15:56.08\00:16:01.32
JUST LIKE THE
PEOPLE SITTING IN CHURCH.
00:16:01.32\00:16:04.86
THEY FEEL LIKE THEY BELONG WHEN
WE DON'T LOOK TOO DIFFERENT AT
00:16:04.86\00:16:10.03
THEM. >> THE
SIGN IS AN INTRIGUING
00:16:10.03\00:16:12.93
INVITATION TO SOME, AND A
FAMILIAR RE MINDER OF HOPE
00:16:12.93\00:16:17.31
CHANNEL, WHERE SHOW HOSTS OFTEN
INVITE VIEWERS TO VISIT CHURCHES
00:16:17.31\00:16:24.35
LIKE THIS.
00:16:24.35\00:16:26.88
>> IN AN EFFORT TO ATTRACT A
GREATER DIVERSITY, ADVENTISTS IN
00:16:35.82\00:16:41.63
THE COMMUNITY FORGED
RELATIONSHIPS THROUGH A SPECIAL
00:16:41.63\00:16:45.33
GROUP CALLED THE
CLASS OF FRIENDS.
00:16:45.33\00:16:48.04
IN THIS GROUP, PEOPLE HAVE
THE OPPORTUNITY TO FAMILIARIZE
00:16:48.04\00:16:53.58
THEMSELVES ARE
BIBLICAL TEACHINGS.
00:16:53.58\00:16:56.51
>> OUR CLASS IS
ATTENDED BY ABOUT 60 STUDENTS.
00:16:56.51\00:17:00.35
YOU SEE PEOPLE
TAKING BABY STEPS.
00:17:00.35\00:17:02.52
COMING TO THE MALL
AND FINDING A STUDY GROUP
00:17:02.52\00:17:06.99
SO THEY SLOWLY MOVE CLOSER AND
BEGIN ATTENDING CHURCH WITH US.
00:17:06.99\00:17:21.37
OUR GROUP IS VERY DIVERSE
AND THIS MAKES IT ALL THE MORE
00:17:21.37\00:17:25.21
INTERESTING. THERE
ARE DOCTORS, LAWYERS, AND
00:17:25.21\00:17:28.38
PEOPLE OF MANY PROFESSIONS.
WHAT IS MOST INTERESTING TO ME
00:17:28.38\00:17:32.95
IS THE RELIGIOUS DIVERSITY AND
SOME WHO ARE PART OF SPIRITUAL
00:17:32.95\00:17:39.02
GROUPS NATIVE TO BRAZIL.
WHICH INTERACT WITH A DIFFERENT
00:17:39.02\00:17:46.73
MIXTURE OF VIEWS, BUT ARRIVE AT
THE PERSPECTIVE FROM THE BIBLE
00:17:46.73\00:18:00.51
ALONE. >> AS HIS
SERVANTS TO TRIBES,
00:18:00.51\00:18:04.38
NATIONS, AND TONGUES, WE SHOULD
CONTEXTUALIZE THE HOPE WE ARE
00:18:04.38\00:18:11.39
GIVING. PLEASE
PRAY FOR ADVENTIST
00:18:11.39\00:18:15.02
CHURCHES AS THEY PLANT CHURCHES
USING UNIQUE METHODS AROUND THE
00:18:15.02\00:18:21.66
WORLD. ¤
00:18:21.66\00:18:22.86
>> AMEN. I HAVE NEVER HEARD OF A
00:18:22.86\00:18:25.60
SEVENTH-DAY ADVENTIST CHURCH IN
A MALL, BUT WHAT A GREAT IDEA.
00:18:25.60\00:18:28.67
BECAUSE HERE IS WHERE THE
SECULAR COMMUNITY COMES, AND WE
00:18:28.67\00:18:33.34
ALL HAVE SOME SORT OF GOD-SHAPED
HOLE INSIDE OF US, THAT SOMETIME
00:18:33.34\00:18:39.25
MAYBE WHEN YOU LIE YOUR HEAD ON
THE BED AT NIGHT, YOU THINK IS
00:18:39.25\00:18:45.59
THIS ALL THERE IS TO LIFE?
IS THERE SOMETHING I'M MISSING?
00:18:45.59\00:18:48.89
SO I CAN IMAGINE THAT PULL WHEN
THEY WOULD WALK BY THE SIGN AND
00:18:48.89\00:18:53.43
SAY, I WONDER
WHAT THIS IS ALL ABOUT.
00:18:53.43\00:18:56.46
SO WHAT A GREAT WAY TO WITNESS.
>> THAT IS ACTUALLY ONE OF THE
00:18:56.46\00:19:01.57
FIRST CITIES IN THE WHOLE WORLD
THAT THE ADVENTIST HAS ACTUALLY
00:19:01.57\00:19:06.98
A CREATIVE PRESENCE IN
EVERY PART OF THE COMMUNITY.
00:19:06.98\00:19:13.08
LIKE THERE WAS A PHYSICIAN
WHO HAS A HOUSE CHURCH.
00:19:13.08\00:19:17.55
AND THERE IS A JEWISH COMMUNITY
THERE, SO WE HAVE A CENTER FOR
00:19:17.55\00:19:22.86
THEM WHERE WE HAVE A CHANCE
TO, YOU KNOW, MINISTER TO THAT
00:19:22.86\00:19:27.46
CULTURE IN THAT CONTEXT
AS WELL. >> I LOVE THAT.
00:19:27.46\00:19:30.13
WHAT DO YOU MEAN BY
CONTEXTUALIZE THE GOSPEL?
00:19:30.13\00:19:34.80
>> WELL, THIS NEXT VIDEO,
WE'RE ACTUALLY GOING TO GO TO
00:19:34.80\00:19:38.64
PAKISTAN, AND THERE WE'RE GOING
TO SEE THAT THE FLAVOR AND THE
00:19:38.64\00:19:44.58
CULTURE ACTUALLY IS SOMETHING
THAT THE PEOPLE OF THAT NATION
00:19:44.58\00:19:49.42
AND AREA CAN RELATE TO, AND
SO IT IS THAT JESUS WHEN HE CAME
00:19:49.42\00:19:55.16
FROM HEAVEN SO EARTH,
ACTUALLY -- HE TENTED WITH US.
00:19:55.16\00:19:58.59
>> YES. >> AND WE
SEE THAT FROM THE OLD
00:19:58.59\00:20:05.97
TESTAMENT. >> DWELLED AMONG US.
00:20:05.97\00:20:08.87
AND THAT'S WHAT THAT MEANS.
THAT WE'RE FOLLOWING CHRIST'S
00:20:08.87\00:20:15.34
EXAMPLE OF LIVING WITH PEOPLE
TO SPREAD THE THREE ANGEL'S
00:20:15.34\00:20:22.25
MESSAGE. >> AND
PAUL SAID I HAVE BECOME
00:20:22.25\00:20:23.92
ALL THINGS TO ALL
PEOPLE. SO IT IS DRESSING IT FOR
00:20:23.92\00:20:29.22
DIFFERENT CULTURES. NOT
CHANGING IT, BUT MAKING IT
00:20:29.22\00:20:35.00
UNDERSTANDABLE AND ATTRACTIVE.
>> SO LET'S GO TO PAKISTAN.
00:20:35.00\00:20:40.24
¤ >> WITH A
POPULATION OF OVER 210
00:20:40.24\00:20:46.64
MILLION, PAKISTAN IS THE WORLD'S
FIFTH MOST POPULOUS NATION.
00:20:46.64\00:20:51.81
99% OF ITS PEOPLE ARE MUSLIM,
AND IT'S URBAN POPULOUS IS
00:20:51.81\00:20:57.05
STEADILY GROWING.
LOCATEDED NEAR THIS BORDER, THIS
00:20:57.05\00:21:00.39
IS ONE OF THE WEALTHIEST
CITIES IN THE COUNTRY, WITH A
00:21:00.39\00:21:05.23
POPULATION OF OVER 11 MILLION,
IT IS STEEPED IN RICH HISTORY
00:21:05.23\00:21:09.03
AND CULTURE. TO
REACH THIS BUSTLING CITY,
00:21:09.03\00:21:12.17
LOCAL ADVENTISTS BEGAN BY
SHARING THE HEALTH MESSAGE.
00:21:12.17\00:21:16.07
THEY CONDUCTED HEALTH SEMINARS
TO EDUCATE PEOPLE ON HEALTH AND
00:21:16.07\00:21:20.28
WELL-BEING.-pDONNA IS ONE OF
THE MANY COMMUNITY MEMBERS WHO
00:21:20.28\00:21:24.88
BENEFITED. SHOW IS THE MOTHER OF
TWO, AND JUST LIKE MANY PEOPLE
00:21:24.88\00:21:28.32
WHO LIVE IN A BUSY CITY SHE HAS
NO TIME TO COOK, SO SHE BECME A
00:21:28.32\00:21:34.56
REGULAR CUSTOMER AT CAST-FOOD
CHAINS. BUT AFTER SHE ATTENDED
00:21:34.56\00:21:41.86
AN ADVENTIST SEMINAR ON
HEALTHY EATING, HER APPETITE FOR
00:21:41.86\00:21:46.84
FAST-FOOD, SOON TURNED BLAND.
00:21:46.84\00:21:48.57
>> BEFORE COMING TO THE HEALTH
SEMINARS, DONNA HAD HEARD ABOUT
00:21:57.88\00:22:02.65
THE BENEFITS OF A HEALTHY
DIET, BUT STRUGGLED TO CHANGE.
00:22:02.65\00:22:10.09
SHE WASN'T SURE HOW TO MAKE THE
CHANGE, UNTIL SHE ATTENDED THE
00:22:10.09\00:22:14.66
CHURCH'S HEALTH SEMINARS.
THERE SHE UNDERHOW HEALTHY
00:22:14.66\00:22:19.67
CHOICES COULD
TRANSFORM HER WELL-BEING.
00:22:19.67\00:22:22.77
>> Translator: I REALIZED
THAT WHAT I HAVE LEARNED
00:22:22.77\00:22:25.57
TODAY -- THIS WAS
MISSING FROM MY LIFE
00:22:25.57\00:22:27.74
THE THINGS THAT I MISSED IN MY
LIFE WERE VEGETABLES AND FRUITS.
00:22:27.74\00:22:33.01
THESE PRECIOUS GIFTS OF GOD WERE
MISSING IN MY FAMILY'S LIFE.
00:22:33.01\00:22:38.32
THAT'S WHY WE HAD SO
MANY HEALTH PROBLEMS.
00:22:38.32\00:22:43.43
>> DONNA NOW PRACTICES WHAT
SHE LEARNED AND IS SHARING HER
00:22:43.43\00:22:47.40
EXPERIENCES WITH
THE REST OF HER FAMILY.
00:22:47.40\00:22:49.33
SHE SAW AMAZING RESULTS
GRADUALLY TAKE PLACE IN HER AND
00:22:49.33\00:22:53.47
HER SON'S HEALTH. SHE
DISCOVERED NEW WAYS TO MAKE
00:22:53.47\00:22:57.04
THEIR DAILY MEALS
EXCITING AND COLORFUL.
00:22:57.04\00:23:01.98
THESE LIFESTYLE CHANGES
ENCOURAGED HER TO LEARN MORE
00:23:01.98\00:23:05.38
ABOUT HOW SHE COULD
LIVE AN BALANCED LIFE.
00:23:05.38\00:23:08.55
THERE ARE MANY INDIVIDUALS HERE
WHO NEED HELP TO CHANGE THEIR
00:23:08.55\00:23:15.16
LIFESTYLES. THE
ADVENTIST CHURCH HERE,
00:23:15.16\00:23:19.03
DREAMS OF BUILDING
AN URBAN LIFE CENTER.

ULTIMATELY THEY ASPIRE TO
HELP IMPROVE THE LIVES OF MANY

OTHERS. >>
Translator: THE ADVENTIST
00:23:34.78\00:23:36.44
DIET IS ESSENTIAL FOR OUR
FAMILIES, BECAUSE MOST OF IT IS
00:23:36.44\00:23:40.75
PREPARED AT HOME WITH
THINGS AVAILABLE AT HOME.
00:23:40.75\00:23:43.35
FOOD PREPARED AT HOME IS
PREFERRED OVER FAST-FOODS, SO WE
00:23:43.35\00:23:48.12
NEED TO TEACH EVERYONE ABOUT HOW
FRUITS AND GREEN VEGETABLES CAN
00:23:48.12\00:23:52.43
HAVE GREAT
MEANING IN YOUR LIVES.
00:23:52.43\00:23:55.46
>> THIS QUARTER, PART OF YOUR
13TH SABBATH OFFERING, WILL HELP
00:23:55.46\00:24:05.17
MAKE THIS CENTER A REALITY.
THANK YOU FOR SUPPORTING
00:24:05.17\00:24:08.91
ADVENTIST MISSION.
00:24:08.91\00:24:11.31
. >> YOU KNOW THAT FOOD LOOKED
00:24:15.62\00:24:16.69
REALLY GOOD. >> IT DID.
00:24:16.69\00:24:18.59
COULD THAT BE
BECAUSE I'M HUNGRY?
00:24:18.59\00:24:20.62
>> IT COULD BE. BUT
THEY ARE TALKING ABOUT A
00:24:20.62\00:24:23.66
HEALTHY LIFESTYLE, AND HERE
IN SOUTHERN ILLINOIS, IT'S A IT
00:24:23.66\00:24:29.13
WILL -- A LITTLE LATE.
BUT I REALLY LIKED THE HEALTH
00:24:29.13\00:24:33.44
MESSAGE, BECAUSE ALL OF
US WANT TO BE IN GOOD HEALTH.
00:24:33.44\00:24:36.71
SO I THINK THAT IS VRY POWERFUL.
00:24:36.71\00:24:39.24
IT'S A GREAT ROLL,
DOUG. >> WELL, AND HERE -- AND
00:24:39.24\00:24:43.11
THIS -- THIS COUNTRY, I HAD
A CHANCE TO ACTUALLY HELP PLAN
00:24:43.11\00:24:47.18
THIS MISSION OFFERING
WHEN I WAS AT THE DIVISION.
00:24:47.18\00:24:49.55
>> OH. >> SO ANY
WAY THAT WAS ONE OF MY
00:24:49.55\00:24:53.36
LAST CONTRIBUTIONS AT THE
EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE, TO PLAN
00:24:53.36\00:24:57.73
FOUR YEARS IN ADVANCE FOR -- YOU
KNOW, WHAT ARE THESE PROJECTS
00:24:57.73\00:25:00.96
GOING TO BE? AND
WHEN I HAD A CHANCE TO
00:25:00.96\00:25:04.13
ACTUALLY VISIT THE COUNTRY TO
SEE HOW -- THERE'S SUCH A HUNGER
00:25:04.13\00:25:11.57
FOR TH THREE ANGELS' MESSAGE,
BUT IT'S NOT A DIRET HUNGER.
00:25:11.57\00:25:17.51
SO THAT'S WHY THIS PLAN TO SET
UP THIS CENTER OF INFLUENCE AND
00:25:17.51\00:25:22.28
MEET THE HUNGER, AND ALSO
HELP THE PHYSICAL NEEDS OF THE
00:25:22.28\00:25:28.36
FAMILIES, LIKE DONNA, AND
THEN TO SHARE THE THREE ANGELS'
00:25:28.36\00:25:31.86
MESSAGE AND TO PREPARE THAT
BEAUTIFUL NATION FOR THE SOON
00:25:31.86\00:25:35.20
COMING OF JESUS CHRIST. >> AMEN.
00:25:35.20\00:25:37.00
WHAT A BLESSING. HOW
OFTEN DO THE CENTER OF
00:25:37.00\00:25:41.67
INFLUENCES USE HEALTH
-- OR THE HEALTH MESSAGE?
00:25:41.67\00:25:43.84
>> MANY DO IT ALL THE
TIME. YES, IT'S ONE OF THE MOST
00:25:43.84\00:25:49.84
EFFECTIVE MEANS THERE
IS. >> AND WHY WOULD THAT BE?
00:25:49.84\00:25:52.65
>> I THINK IT'S BECAUSE YOU ARE
NOT COMING STRAIGHT IN ON THE
00:25:52.65\00:25:56.69
SPIRITUAL, WHEN THEY
ARE NOT READY FOR IT.
00:25:56.69\00:25:59.05
I THINK THEY SEE HOW YOU
HAVE BEEN ABLE TO HELP THEM WITH
00:25:59.05\00:26:03.09
THEIR HEALT, AND
THEN BUILD UP THE TRUST.
00:26:03.09\00:26:05.46
MAYBE WHEN YOU TALK ABOUT
THE SPIRITUAL DIMENSION, THAT'S
00:26:05.46\00:26:09.90
IMPORTANT TOO. >> AND
THIS ROLL, RICK, YOU SAID
00:26:09.90\00:26:15.30
99% ARE NON-CHRISTIAN.
>> THAT'S CORRECT.
00:26:15.30\00:26:17.67
>> THAT'S HUGE. 99%.
00:26:17.67\00:26:20.31
>> I THINK SOMETIMES WE FORGET
THERE ARE COUNTRIES IN THE WORLD
00:26:20.31\00:26:24.21
THAT SUCH A HIGH PERCENTAGE
OF THEM IS NON-CHRISTIAN.
00:26:24.21\00:26:30.05
ONLY A THIRD OF THE ENTIRE
WORLD'S POPULATION IS CHRISTIAN.
00:26:30.05\00:26:37.56
>> AND THAT GOES BACK
TO THE SPIRITUAL THINGS.
00:26:37.56\00:26:41.53
>> IT IS ALSO HOW JESUS WORKED.
HE MET THE NEEDS, AND MANY TIMES
00:26:41.53\00:26:46.23
IT WAS -- MAYBE THE FAMILY OR A
RELATIONAL HEALTH NEED, OR MAYBE
00:26:46.23\00:26:51.51
IT WAS A -- THE PHYSICAL NEED,
AND SO THAT'S WHERE -- WE'RE
00:26:51.51\00:26:56.08
JUST FOLLOWING THAT --
THAT EXAMPLE OF CHRIST.
00:26:56.08\00:26:58.95
>> AMEN. I KNOW
THAT SOME PEOPLE LIKE
00:26:58.95\00:27:02.65

GEOGRAPHY, AS WE HAVE
00:27:02.65\00:27:04.59

PEOPLES FROM DIFFERENT CULTURES.
I'M VERY HAPPY TO BE PART OF
00:30:27.12\00:30:33.19
THEM. >> PRESENCE
CULTURE LOUNGE WAS
00:30:33.19\00:30:37.30
INSPIRED BY CONVERSATIONS
HE HAD WITH FRIENDS.
00:30:37.30\00:30:41.54
THEY OFTEN TALKED
ABOUT LIFE JOURNEYS.
00:30:41.54\00:30:44.47
AT TIMES THESE CONVERSATIONS
HAPPENED OVER A MEAL, OR WERE
00:30:44.47\00:30:49.84
SPARKED BY A
MOVIE OR BOOK THEY READ.
00:30:49.84\00:30:53.05
SO HE MADE IT OPEN TO EVERYONE
REGARDLESS OF THEIR RACIAL OR
00:30:53.05\00:30:58.59
RELIGIOUS BACKGROUND. >>
WHEN PEOPLE COME HERE, WE
00:30:58.59\00:31:01.92
COMMUNICATE OPENLY THAT THIS
IS A PROJECT OF THE SEVENTH-DAY
00:31:01.92\00:31:04.93
ADVENTIST CHURCH, AND THEY ALSO
HERE FROM ME THAT I'M A PASTOR,
00:31:04.93\00:31:10.33
AND IT IS A CHANCE -- OR A GOOD
OPPORTUNITY FOR US AS A CHURCH
00:31:10.33\00:31:16.64
TO -- TO SERVE OTHERS,
AND -- AND MANY OF THE PEOPLE
00:31:16.64\00:31:19.97
WHO COME HERE, HAVE NEVER HEARD
THAT THE SEVENTH-DAY ADVENTIST
00:31:19.97\00:31:24.85
CHURCH EVEN EXISTS. >>
IN A CONTEXT WHERE PEOPLE
00:31:24.85\00:31:28.75
AREN'T ATTRACTED TO RELIGION
OR INSTITUTIONS, THIS PROVIDES A
00:31:28.75\00:31:33.52
SPACE FOR NEW EXPERIENCES.
EACH EVENT IS CAREFULLY CRAFTED
00:31:33.52\00:31:37.29
TO ENCOURAGE THE OPEN AND
SINCERE EXCHANGE OF IDEAS.
00:31:37.29\00:31:42.06
VISITORS COME REGULARLY TO
EXPAND THEIR PERSPECTIVE AND
00:31:42.06\00:31:45.67
GROW IN NEW WAYS.
MANY ADVENTIST CENTERS OF
00:31:45.67\00:31:50.11
INFLUENCE
OPERATE ACROSS THE GLOBE.
00:31:50.11\00:31:52.21
THEY OFFER PEOPLE AN OPPORTUNITY
TO REFLECT ON LIFE AND FIND
00:31:52.21\00:31:55.94
ANSWERS. ALTHOUGH
EACH CENTER'S APPROACH
00:31:55.94\00:31:58.81
DIFFERS IN EACH REGION,
ADVENTIST MEMBERS GET CREATIVE
00:31:58.81\00:32:03.42
WAYS TO ENGAGE THE
PEOPLE CHRIST CAME TO LOVE.
00:32:03.42\00:32:08.66
PLEASE PRAY FOR SEVENTH-DAY
ADVENTIST URBAN CENTERS OF
00:32:08.66\00:32:11.16
INFLUENCE, AND THANK YOU FOR
YOUR SUPPORT OF GLOBAL MISSION.
00:32:11.16\00:32:13.76
¤
00:32:13.76\00:32:16.26
>> WOW, THAT'S AN INCREDIBLE
CENTER, AND AGAIN, THEY HAD FOOD
00:32:20.20\00:32:23.87
THERE. AND I
THINK I HAVE CHANGED MY
00:32:23.87\00:32:26.31
MIND. I THINK WE
SHOULD EAT TONIGHT.
00:32:26.31\00:32:28.14
I AM GETTING
HUNGRY. [ LAUGHTER ]
00:32:28.14\00:32:30.01
>> PASTOR GARY, YOU WERE THERE.
>> YES, I VISITED THAT CENTER,
00:32:30.01\00:32:33.82
AND IT'S JUST AMAZING TO SEE
WHAT THEY ARE DOING, BECAUSE YOU
00:32:33.82\00:32:37.29
HOLD A SERIES OF PUBLIC
MEETINGS AND NOBODY COMES.
00:32:37.29\00:32:42.29
WE'RE TALKING ABOUT HARD CORE
SECULARISM HERE, WHRE PEOPLE
00:32:42.29\00:32:46.76
ARE RICH WITH GOODS AND THEY
FEEL AS IF THEY NEED NOTHING.
00:32:46.76\00:32:51.43
SO HOW DO YOU TOUCH THEIR LIVES?
YOU HAVE TO MEET THEM WHERE THEY
00:32:51.43\00:32:57.31
ARE. AND THEIR
INTEREST MAY BE IN
00:32:57.31\00:33:00.81
MUSIC, OR ART OR, PHOTOGRAPHY.
SO AROUND THE WORLD THERE ARE
00:33:00.81\00:33:06.25
DOZENS OF DIFFERENT CENTERS
OF INFLUENCE, AND THAT'S WHAT WE
00:33:06.25\00:33:09.88
WANT TO SEE. >> AND
HE IS A YOUNG PASTOR.
00:33:09.88\00:33:13.25
>> YEAH. >> HE SEEMS SO EXCITED.
00:33:13.25\00:33:16.06
>> AND HE HAS
THOUGHT THIS THROUGH.
00:33:16.06\00:33:17.99
HE HAS PRAYED THROUGH THIS.
>> SO WHAT A GREAT IDEA TO HAVE
00:33:17.99\00:33:21.60
A CULTURAL CENTER.-I LOVE
THAT. IS THIS SOMETHING THAT
00:33:21.60\00:33:25.33
THEN -- THE -- THE
CHURCH OWNS THE BUILDING --
00:33:25.33\00:33:28.77
>> THEY ARE
RENTING THE BUILDING.
00:33:28.77\00:33:31.27
>> OKAY. >> YEAH.
00:33:31.27\00:33:32.24
SO ONE OF THE THINGS THAT
COMES FROM THE ANNUAL SACRIFICE
00:33:32.24\00:33:35.94
OFFERING, IS THAT IT HELPS
FUND THESE CENTERS OF INFLUENCE.
00:33:35.94\00:33:40.25
PROVIDES SEED MONEY T GET IT
STARTED FOR THE FIRST FEW YEARS,
00:33:40.25\00:33:43.42
AND THEN THE GOAL IS THAT THEY
BECOME SELF SUPPORTING AFTER
00:33:43.42\00:33:47.42
THAT. >> THAT WAS A GREAT SEGUE.
00:33:47.42\00:33:51.23
>> THAT WAS A VERY GOOD SEGUE.
WE BELIEVE IN WHAT GOD IS DOING
00:33:51.23\00:33:56.70
THROUGH ADVENTIST MISSION,
AND AT 3ABN, WE WANT TO STAND IN
00:33:56.70\00:34:01.84
SUPPORT OF THAT AS WELL.
SO THE CONTACT INFORMATION:
00:34:01.84\00:34:07.04
NOW ON YOUR WEBSITE, I KNOW YOU
SAID THERE'S STORIES, AND YOU
00:34:18.65\00:34:22.02
CAN DONATE, BUT IS THERE
ALSO WAYS THAT PEOPLE CAN GET
00:34:22.02\00:34:25.83
INVOLVED? NOT
FINANCIALLY, BUT IN OTHER
00:34:25.83\00:34:28.33
WAYS? I KNOW
THAT'S NOT EXACTLILY THE
00:34:28.33\00:34:31.80
PURPOSE OF THIS PROGRAM.
BUT IF SOMEONE WANTS TO GET
00:34:31.80\00:34:36.20
PHYSICALLY INVOLVED. >>
THERE ARE LINKS THAT GO TO
00:34:36.20\00:34:40.14
DIFFERENT PLACES.
THERE'S A LINK TO ADVENTIST
00:34:40.14\00:34:46.45
VOLUNTEER SERVICES,
AND TENT MAKER'S PAGE.
00:34:46.45\00:34:49.55
AND PAUL WAS A TENT MAKER WHO
SUPPORTED HIS MISSION WORK BY
00:34:49.55\00:34:53.79
MAKING TENTS, SO THERE ARE AREAS
OF THE WORLD, WHERE IT'S VERY
00:34:53.79\00:34:59.66
DIFFICULT TO GO AS A MISSIONARY,
BUT YOU CAN GO BECAUSE YOU HAVE
00:34:59.66\00:35:04.40
A SKILL AND A JOB THAT YOU CAN
TAKE INTO THAT COUNTRY, BUT YOU
00:35:04.40\00:35:08.00
ARE LIVING AND WORKING THERE
AS A REGULAR TENT MAKER, BUT YOU
00:35:08.00\00:35:12.81
ARE WITNESSING AT
EVERY OPPORTUNITY YOU GET.
00:35:12.81\00:35:15.41
SO WE ACTUALLY HELP TENT MAKERS
WITH ADDITIONAL TRAINING WHEN
00:35:15.41\00:35:20.05
THEY ARE GOING INTO
SOME OF THESE COUNTRIES.
00:35:20.05\00:35:22.95
>> YOU CALL THEM TENT MAKERS.
>> WE CALL THEM TENT MAKERS.
00:35:22.95\00:35:27.26
THE SITE IS ACTUALLY
CALLED TOTAL INVOLVEMENT.
00:35:27.26\00:35:32.06

TOTAL EMPLOYMENT, SORRY.
00:35:32.06\00:35:36.10

TOTAL MEMBER INVOLVEMENT.
00:35:36.10\00:35:39.17
>> YEAH, THIS IS
CALLED TOTAL EMPLOYMENT.
00:35:39.17\00:35:42.57
IT'S NOT JUST A JOB, IT'S TOTAL
EMPLOYMENT OF BEING ABLE TO
00:35:42.57\00:35:46.27
WITNESS AS WELL
AS WORK. >> AMEN.
00:35:46.27\00:35:49.34
NO MATTER WHAT LINE OF
WORK WE'RE IN, GOD CALLS US.
00:35:49.34\00:35:54.12
>> THAT'S RIGHT. >> I
BELIEVE THE DAYS OF MISSION
00:35:54.12\00:35:57.79
OF THE SEVENTH-DAY ADVENTIST
CHURCH ARE THE BRIGHTEST BEFORE
00:35:57.79\00:36:00.22
US, AS WE SEE THE DARKNESS HERE
AT THEN OF TIME, THIS IS OUR
00:36:00.22\00:36:04.79
TIME TO SHINE, AND WHETHER
THAT'S WITH OUR GLOBAL MISSION
00:36:04.79\00:36:08.83

>> AMEN. >> I
AGREE WE ARE IN THE LAST
00:36:21.68\00:36:24.95
DAYS, SO TOMORROW
IS NOT GUARANTEED.
00:36:24.95\00:36:27.42
WE HAVE TODAY, TO
DO EVERYTHING WE CAN.
00:36:27.42\00:36:30.45
PASTOR GARY, WHERE
ARE WE OFF TO NEXT?
00:36:30.45\00:36:33.12
>> WE'RE GOING TO HAVE A GENERAL
OVERVIEW OF THE MISSION IN FRONT
00:36:33.12\00:36:37.09
OF US. >> ALL RIGT.
00:36:37.09\00:36:39.56
LET'S GO TO THAT ROLL RIGHT NOW.
¤->> EVERY DAY PEOPLE BEGIN TO
00:36:39.56\00:36:47.00
LEAVE THEIR
HOMES IN THE MORNING.
00:36:47.00\00:36:49.07
THEY CROWD THE STREETEDS.
CARS, TRUCKS, PEDESTRIANS, AND
00:36:49.07\00:36:53.38
EVEN BICYCLES BEGIN
THE JOURNEY TO SOMEWHERE.
00:36:53.38\00:36:55.98
DO YOU EVER LOOK AT THE PEOPLE
AROUND YOU AND WONDER HOW MANY
00:36:55.98\00:37:00.38
OF THEM KNOW JESUS?
WHAT IF WE LOOK AT THE WORLD?
00:37:00.38\00:37:03.49
THE SAME THING HAPPENS IN
CITIES, TOWNS, AND VILLAGES ALL
00:37:03.49\00:37:07.52
AROUND THE WORLD.
WHAT IF WE COULD SEE ALL OF
00:37:07.52\00:37:10.29
THESE PEOPLE, AND ASK OURSELVES
HOW MANY OF THESE PEOPLE KNOW
00:37:10.29\00:37:14.56
JESUS? SO LET'S
LOOK AT THE WORLD
00:37:14.56\00:37:18.47
TODAY. JUST HOW
MANY OF THOSE PEOPLE DO
00:37:18.47\00:37:20.67
NOT JESUS? TODAY
THERE ARE SOME 7.5 BILLION
00:37:20.67\00:37:24.27
PEOPLE LIVING ON THE PLANET.
CHRISTIANS MAKE UP ONE THIRD OF
00:37:24.27\00:37:28.38
THAT NUMBER, WHICH MEANS THAT
ABOUT 4.5 BILLION PEOPLE DON'T
00:37:28.38\00:37:32.58
KNOW JESUS AS THEIR SAVIOR.
FOR SOMETIME, MANY CHRISTIAN
00:37:32.58\00:37:38.49
DENOMINATIONS HAVE TALKED ABOUT
THE 1040 WINDOW AS AN IMAGINARY
00:37:38.49\00:37:44.76
RECTANGLE DRAWN ON THE WORLD TO
SHOW THE AREA LEAST REACHED BY
00:37:44.76\00:37:49.10
THE GOSPEL. THE
10-40 WINDOW STRETCHES FROM
00:37:49.10\00:37:54.44
NORTHERN AFRICA TO ASIA.-IT
INCLUDES THE MIDDLE EAST, INDIA,
AND SOUTHEAST ASIA.
00:37:54.44\00:38:00.94
ALTHOUGH IT'S A SMALL PART OF
THE ENTIRE WORLD, IT'S DENSELY
00:38:00.94\00:38:05.78
POPULATED. NEARLY
60% OF THE WORLD'S
00:38:05.78\00:38:08.22
POPULATION LIVES HERE.
TRADITIONALLY, THIS REGION HAS
00:38:08.22\00:38:10.82
BEEN HOME TO SOME OF THE WORLD'S
POOREST PEOPLE, AND IT IS HOME
00:38:10.82\00:38:14.42
TO MOST OF THE MAJOR WORLD
RELIGIONS, INCLUDING JUDAISM,
00:38:14.42\00:38:21.40
UNDUISM, BUDDHISM, AND ISLAM,
WHO'S FOLLOWERS MAKE UP MOST OF
00:38:21.40\00:38:25.63
THE POPULATION. THERE
ARE ALSO PEOPLE DO NOT
00:38:25.63\00:38:31.71
FOLLOW ANY RELIGION.-THE 10-40
WINDOW IS ALSO HOME TO SOME OF
00:38:31.71\00:38:39.21
THE WORLD'S FASTEST-GROWING
CITIES. PEOPLE ARE FLOODING INTO
00:38:39.21\00:38:46.62
MAJOR CITIES,
WHERE THEY CAN FIND WORK.
00:38:46.62\00:38:49.56
AS THEY GROW, THESE
CITIES ARE MAKE IMPROVEMENTS TO
00:38:49.56\00:38:53.43
INFRASTRUCTURE, EDUCATION,
AND ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT.
00:38:53.43\00:38:55.66
IN OTHER WORDS NOT ONLY
ARE THESE CITIES GROWING.
00:38:55.66\00:38:58.63
THEY ARE ALSO IMPROVING, LIKE
ANY CITY, THERE ARE ALSO AREAS
00:38:58.63\00:39:04.67
WHERE PEOPLE
STRUGGLE TO MAKE A LIVING.
00:39:04.67\00:39:06.91
WHEN MOST PEOPLE THINK OF
MISSION WORK, THEY OFTEN THINK
00:39:06.91\00:39:09.98
OF REMOTE VILLAGES.
PEOPLE STILL LIVE IN REMOTE
00:39:09.98\00:39:14.42
VILLAGES, BUT AS MORE PEOPLE
FLOCK TO THE CITIES, YOU COULD
00:39:14.42\00:39:17.65
SAY THE VILLAGES
HAVE BEEN VERTICAL.
00:39:17.65\00:39:22.62
THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE IN ONE
HIGH-RISE BUILDING EQUALS AS
00:39:22.62\00:39:27.13
MANY OR MORE THAN THE NUMBER
OF PEOPLE IN MANY OF THOSE SMALL
00:39:27.13\00:39:31.63
VILLAGES, AND TODAY'S HIGH-RISES
ARE STARTING TO ACCEPT THEIR
00:39:31.63\00:39:34.57
ROLE AS VILLAGES. MANY
APARTMENT COMPLEXES TODAY
00:39:34.57\00:39:38.57
HAVE ONE OR TWO FLOORS, USUALLY
NEAR THE GROUND LEVEL THAT
00:39:38.57\00:39:42.58
FEATURE SHOPS AND RESTAURANTS,
SORT OF LIKEA VILLAGE CENTER.
00:39:42.58\00:39:51.99
THESE PEOPLE RARELY HAVE TO
LEAVE THEIR VILLAGE EXCEPT TO
00:39:51.99\00:40:01.26
WORK. SOME HAVE
STARTED SMALL CENTERS
00:40:01.26\00:40:07.34
OF INFLUENCE TO
OFFER A CONNECTION POINT.
00:40:07.34\00:40:09.80
PLEASE PRAY FOR THE PEOPLE OF
THE 10-40 WINDOW, ESPECIALLY FOR
00:40:09.80\00:40:14.34
THE VERTICAL VILLAGES HERE, AND
PRAY FOR MISSION IN THIS MOST
00:40:14.34\00:40:18.55
CHALLENGING FRONTIER.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR MISSION
00:40:18.55\00:40:20.88
OFFERINGS, THAT ARE HELPING
TOUCH LIVES IN THE 10-40 WINDOW.

¤ >> IT'S
AMAZING THE CHALLENGES.
00:40:25.35\00:40:31.06
THEY ARE SO DIFFERENT
THAN HERE IN THE STATES.
00:40:31.06\00:40:33.16
THE CHALLENGES OF THE 10-40
WINDOW, AND I THINK IT SAID 3
00:40:33.16\00:40:38.03
BILLION PEOPLE IN THAT
REGION, DON'T EVN KNOW JESUS.
00:40:38.03\00:40:42.04
>> YES. IT'S KIND OF A VERY
00:40:42.04\00:40:46.44
UNCOMFORTABLE FEELING WHEN YOU
TALK TO SOMEBODY AND SAY, NOW,
00:40:46.44\00:40:50.58
WHAT DO YOU KNOW ABOUT JESUS,
AND THEY LOOK TO THEIR FRIEND,
00:40:50.58\00:40:56.48
AND THEY HAVE NEVER
HEARD THE NAME BEFORE.
00:40:56.48\00:40:59.65
>> WOW. >> RICK?
00:40:59.65\00:41:01.26
>> WE HAVE A VIDEO CLIP WHERE
THEY ASKED TWO YOUNG WOMEN ON
00:41:01.26\00:41:05.49
THE STREET IN THAILAND, HAVE
YOU EVER HEARD OF JESUS BEFORE?
00:41:05.49\00:41:09.30
AND THEY KIND OF LOOK
AT EACH OTHER AND SAY NO.
00:41:09.30\00:41:12.30
AND WE JUST DON'T UNDERSTAND
THAT, YOU KNOW, COMING FROM A
00:41:12.30\00:41:16.40
CHRISTIAN
BACKGROUND, YOU KNOW, COUNTRY.
00:41:16.40\00:41:18.57

GOING TO ANOTHER CLIP.
00:41:18.57\00:41:21.28
WE'RE ACTUALLY
GOING TO SEE GARY AGAIN.
00:41:21.28\00:41:24.91
>> ON A BIKE
AGAIN? >> NOT A BIKE.
00:41:24.91\00:41:26.92
>> A BOAT? >> A TROLLY?
00:41:26.92\00:41:29.48

FEET. >> FANTASTIC.

SHE MINGLES WTH THE PEOPLE.
NEW DELHI IS ONE OF THE MOST

DENSELY POPULATED CITIES, WITH
MILLIONS OF PEOPLE WHO DON'T
00:43:02.91\00:43:06.61

A CHALLENGING AREA TO

00:43:34.48\00:43:39.68
IN THIS SMALL ROOM. >>
Translator: INITIALLY THERE
00:43:39.68\00:43:47.72
WAS NO ORGANIZED GROUP HERE,
THERE WERE JUST SOME PEOPLE
00:43:47.72\00:43:51.63
SCATTERED AROUND HERE AND THERE.
I USED TO PRAY TO THE LORD TO
00:43:51.63\00:43:56.93
GIVE ME A CONGREGATION.
SLOWLY PEOPLE STARTED COMING TO
00:43:56.93\00:44:02.27
LISTEN TO THE
MESSAGE THAT I WAS SPREADING.
00:44:02.27\00:44:06.01
>> SHE VISITS THE PEOPLE IN
THEIR HOME TO GET TO KNOW THEM.
00:44:06.01\00:44:09.84
THIS GROUP HAS GROWN FROM A
SMALL FEW TO A CROWDED ROOM.
00:44:09.84\00:44:14.82
>> Translator: I TAKE MY
CHILDREN TO SCHOOL, AND AFTER
00:44:14.82\00:44:17.25
THAT, I TAKE SOME OF THE LADIES
FROM MY CONGREGATION WITH ME,
00:44:17.25\00:44:21.19
AND WE GO TO DIFFERENT
HOUSES WHERE THE NEEDS ARE.
00:44:21.19\00:44:24.26
MAYBE THE NEED FOR PRAYER, THE
NEED FOR VISITATION, THE NEED
00:44:24.26\00:44:28.36
FOR CONVERSATION, BECAUSE
THEY ARE ALL FEELING DOWN.
00:44:28.36\00:44:31.97
THAT'S HOW I DO IT. I
DO SMALL GROUP MEETINGS,
00:44:31.97\00:44:36.67
VISITING DOOR-TO-DOOR,
HOUSE-TO-HOUSE, AND THAT'S HOW
00:44:36.67\00:44:40.38
PEOPLE ENJOY THE CHURCH HERE.
>> ONE OF THE MEMBERS WHO HELPS
00:44:40.38\00:44:49.68
IS THIS WOMAN. SHE
VISITED HER OFFICE REGULARLY
00:44:49.68\00:44:53.59
TO TALK. HER MOTHER
HAD BEEN SICK IN BED
00:44:53.59\00:44:58.36
FOR 25 YEARS WITH
LITTLE HOPE FOR RECOVERY.
00:44:58.36\00:45:01.40
SHE HEARD THEM
TALKING ABOUT JESUS.
00:45:01.40\00:45:03.87
HER MOTHER DID NOT WAN HER
DAUGHTER TO BECOME A CHRISTIAN.
00:45:03.87\00:45:07.57
SHE WARNED HER
NOT TO TRUST KAMLA.
00:45:07.57\00:45:12.51
KRISHMA DIDN'T WANT TO UPSET HER
MOTHER, BUT TRULY BELIEVED THE
00:45:19.21\00:45:23.02
ADVENTIST MESSAGE, SO SHE WENT
AGAINST HER MOTHER'S ADVISE AND
00:45:23.02\00:45:29.06
WAS BAPTIZED. KAMLA
CONTINUED TO VISIT AND
00:45:29.06\00:45:34.36
BEGAN TELLING THE
MOTHER ABOUT THE HEALING POWER.
00:45:34.36\00:45:37.83
EVENTUALLY HER MOTHER ACCEPTED
JESUS INTO HER LIFE AS WELL.
00:45:37.83\00:45:41.30
AND SOON AS SHE ACCEPTED JESUS
INTO HER LIFE, SHE WAS ABLE TO
00:45:41.30\00:45:46.04
WALK AGAIN. AFTER 25
YEARS OF SICKNESS, SHE
00:45:46.04\00:45:50.08
WAS HEALED. GOD'S
HEALING POWER TRANSCENDS
00:45:50.08\00:45:55.22
ALL POSSIBILITIES. AS
CONGREGATIONS LIKE THIS
00:45:55.22\00:46:00.92
CONTINUE TO GROW, SO
WAS OUR WORLD POPULATION.
00:46:00.92\00:46:03.96
MILLIONS OF PEOPLE AROUND
THE WORLD DON'T KNOW JESUS.
00:46:03.96\00:46:07.30
GLOBAL MISSION PIONEERS ARE
WORKING HARD TO KEEP UP WITH THE
00:46:07.30\00:46:10.93
GREAT NEED. PLEASE
PRAY FOR GLOBAL MISSION
00:46:10.93\00:46:14.27
PIONEERS LIKE KAMLA.
THANK YOU FOR SUPPORTING
00:46:14.27\00:46:20.08
MISSION. ¤
00:46:20.08\00:46:22.21
>> AMEN. WELL, YOU
KNOW WHAT I LOVE MORE
00:46:28.18\00:46:30.92
THAN ANYTHING IS THE STORIES.
THE STORIES OF PEOPLE'S LIVES
00:46:30.92\00:46:34.66
WHO HAVE BEEN CHANGED.-THINKING
OF KARISHMA, AND SHE WINED TO
HER MOM, AND THEN HER
00:46:34.66\00:46:42.03
MOM WAS HEALED. NOT
JUST SPIRITUAL HEALING, BUT
00:46:42.03\00:46:46.23
THE PHYSICAL HEALING AS WELL.
IT MUST REALLY FILL YOUR HEART,
00:46:46.23\00:46:51.27
TO KNOW PASTOR DOUG THAT
PEOPLE'S LIVES ARE BEING CHANGED
00:46:51.27\00:46:59.65
FOR AN ETERNITY
BECAUSE OF WHAT YOU ARE DOING.
00:46:59.65\00:47:02.25
>> AMEN. >> AND
THIS NEXT CLIP YOU ARE
00:47:02.25\00:47:05.59
GOING TO SEE ME -- THIS IS A
CLIP FROM THE CITY, AND WE HAD
00:47:05.59\00:47:08.49
BEEN WORKING IN A WORKING CLASS,
OR A SLUM COMMUNITY FOR MANY
00:47:08.49\00:47:13.13
YEARS, AND THE COMMUNITY
LEADERS HAD ASKED US TO BE THERE
00:47:13.13\00:47:19.43
FULL-TIME. WE HAD
BEEN DOING HEALTH EXPOS,
00:47:19.43\00:47:22.84
AND WEEKLY DIABETES CLASSES, AND
ALL OF THIS OTHER EDUCATION, BUT
00:47:22.84\00:47:27.58
BECAUSE OF A LACK OF
MISSION OFFERING, WE FACED -- WE
00:47:27.58\00:47:30.65
COULD -- WE HAD
A LOST OPPORTUNITY.
00:47:30.65\00:47:34.12
SO LET'S COME WITH ME
TO THE STREETS OF BANGKOK.
00:47:34.12\00:47:37.89
OKAY. >> WE HAVE
BEEN HERE FOR FOUR
00:47:37.89\00:47:44.33
YEARS SERVING THE PEOPLE,
AND BOYS AND GIRLS AND FAMILIES.
00:47:44.33\00:47:48.60
>> YOUR LACK OF GIVING TELLS
OTHERS THAT WE DON'T CARE ABOUT
00:47:48.60\00:47:53.64
THE PEOPLE THEY
ARE TRYING TO REACH.
00:47:53.64\00:47:55.64
IT SENDS A LONG SIGNAL
THAT SAYS DON'T EXPAND.
00:47:55.64\00:47:58.87
DON'T REACH OUT TO THE POOR.
WE ARE TELLING THEM, AND THE
00:47:58.87\00:48:02.81
UNIVERSE THAT WE DON'T CARE
ABOUT THE LOST SOULS FOR WHOM
00:48:02.81\00:48:06.38
CHRIST DIED, SO WHY SHOULD THEY?
WE'RE SAYING THAT OUR MONEY IS
00:48:06.38\00:48:10.72
MORE IMPORTANT TO US THAN THOSE
PEOPLE, AND WE HAVE BEEN TELLING
00:48:10.72\00:48:13.79
THEM THIS FOR DECADES. >>
THESE ARE THE WORKING CLASS.
00:48:13.79\00:48:21.00
PEOPLE WHO THE GOVERNMENT
IS TRYING TO GET THEM OUT OF
00:48:21.00\00:48:24.43
POVERTY, AND WHO ARE LOOKING FOR
EDUCATION, THEY ARE COMMUNITY
00:48:24.43\00:48:31.34
LEADERS -- YOU KNOW, TO TEACH
IT, COMMUTERS, MEDIA, TO HELP
00:48:31.34\00:48:37.05
THEM GET OUT OF
THIS CYCLE OF POVERTY.
00:48:37.05\00:48:45.02
AND OUR OWN [ INAUDIBLE ]. ¤
00:48:45.02\00:49:23.79
>> THAT ONE IS
HEAVY. >> THAT IS.
00:49:23.79\00:49:27.13
>> BECAUSE PEOPLE ARE PARRISHING
WITHOUT KNOWLEDGE OF JESUS,
00:49:27.13\00:49:30.53
MAYBE BECAUSE I DIDN'T
CARE. WHY IS THERE A DECLINE IN
00:49:30.53\00:49:33.94
GIVING? I KNOW WE
HAVE ONE MORE ROLL,
00:49:33.94\00:49:36.74
BUT WHY IS THERE
A DECLINE IN GIVING?
00:49:36.74\00:49:39.54
>> I DON'T KNOW. IT'S
BEEN JUST A STEADY DECLINE.
00:49:39.54\00:49:42.48
I GUESS PEOPLE ARE
GIVING TO MANY OTHER THINGS.
00:49:42.48\00:49:47.02
WE SEE A RISE IN
GIVING TO THE LOCAL CHURCH --
00:49:47.02\00:49:51.19
>> WHICH IS GOOD. >>
YEAH, IT'S VERY GOOD.
00:49:51.19\00:49:54.26
AND IT'S EXPENSIVE TO RUN A
CHURCH IN NORTH AMERICA, FOR
00:49:54.26\00:49:58.96
EXAMPLE. BUT I
THINK PERHAPS WE HAVE LOST
00:49:58.96\00:50:01.63
G SOMETHING OF OUR MISSION
VISION, AND EACH OF US NEEDS TO
00:50:01.63\00:50:08.57
MAKE A
RECOMMITMENT TO THAT. >> AMEN.
00:50:08.57\00:50:10.61
>> WHAT ARE WE
GETTING READY TO SEE?
00:50:10.61\00:50:14.18
>> YES, PERHAPS AS WE DRAW
TO THE END OF THE PROGRAM HERE.
00:50:14.18\00:50:17.91
THIS IS A VIDEO -- IT'S JUST A
MUSIC VIDEO, BUT AN OPPORTUNITY
00:50:17.91\00:50:21.82
FOR US TO TAKE A LITTLE BIT OF
TIME IN THE QUIET TO RECONSIDER
00:50:21.82\00:50:26.72
AND THINK AGAIN, AND PRAY TO
THE LORD ABOUT OUR COMMITMENT TO
00:50:26.72\00:50:30.86
MISSION IN OUR OWN NEIGHBORHOOD,
AND WHAT IS OUR COMMITMENT TO
00:50:30.86\00:50:35.30
MISSION AROUND THE WORLD.
SO MAYBE IT WILL BE A TIME FOR
00:50:35.30\00:50:39.40
QUIET MEDITATION. ¤
