THEIR CHALLENGES AND THEIR NEEDS 04:06 AND WE PRAY FOR THEM. 04:07 AND IT'S AMAZING HOW GOD JUST CAUSED THE LOVE IN 04:12 OUR HEARTS FOR THEM AND THEIR WORK. 04:14 SO YOU HAVE A REPORT HERE FOR US AND

I'M NOT 04:29 NEXT TO SOMEONE WHO SNORES. 04:30 SO YOU CAN ACTUALLY SLEEP RIGHT BONNIE. 04:32 (LAUGHTER) BUT IT IS ALWAYS, ALWAYS WHEN WE 04:36 TRAVEL ON THE TRAIN WE HAVE OPPORTUNITIES TO 04:38 SHARE JESUS. 04:39 THIS IS DEL RUBBING MY FEET. 04:40 SO THERE ARE BERTHS ON THE TRAIN. 04:42 YES AND SOMETIMES THEY ARE TOO HIGH. 04:46 SOMETIMES THEY ARE THREE HIGH. 04:47 AND WE NORMALLY GET THE TOP BUNKS BECAUSE WE LIKE 04:50 TO GET UP THERE WHERE IT'S QUIET WHERE WE CAN READ OR 04:55 LISTEN TO OUR EARBUDS. 04:56 SURE. 04:57 BUT IT'S AMAZING HOW THE LORD BRINGS PEOPLE INTO 04:59 OUR BERTHS, OUR AREA THAT WE CAN WITNESS TO. 05:02 WE HAVE SO MANY AMAZING STORIES THAT THEY WANT TO 05:05 CHANGE THEIR LIVES AFTER WE SPEND TIME WITH THEM. 05:08 WELL AND ISN'T THAT ALWAYS THE INTERESTING THING

WANTING TO PRACTICE THEIR ENGLISH. 05:29 YES. 05:30 IT'S ALWAYS A VERY WONDERFUL EXPERIENCE. 05:33 AND I ALWAYS TRY TO TAKE SOME LITTLE HEALTHY SNACKS 05:36 FOR THE CHILDREN IF WE GET CHILDREN ON OURS AND FOOD 05:39 THAT WE CAN SHARE LIKE DRIED FRUIT FROM OUR OWN 05:43 ORCHARD. 05:43 WELL GOOD FOR YOU GUYS. 05:44 WELL YOU KNOW WHAT I TAKE IS I TAKE APLETS AND 05:46 COTLETS. 05:48 THEY'RE MADE IN WASHINGTON STATE AND THEY HAVE LITTLE 05:50 TWO PACKS AND THEN THERE'S APPLE AND APRICOTS OR 05:54 BLUEBERRIES OR WHATEVER AND IT'S ALWAYS KIND OF 05:55 FUN TO SHARE THOSE. 05:56 OH THOSE PEOPLE THERE. 05:58 I WANT TO SAY SOMETHING ABOUT THE BIBLE WORKERS. 06:00 THEY ARE SO GENTLE AND SWEET AND SO DEDICATED. 06:04 THEY LOVE TO SING. 06:06 THEY LOVE HOURS AND HOURS OF PRAYER. 06:09 THEY ARE JUST SO, THEY ARE JUST SO DEDICATED. 06:13 IT'S AN INSPIRATION TO US. 06:16 FABULOUS. 06:17 ONE OF THE THINGS I LOVE DOING IN INDIA IS IF WE GO 06:22 TO THE COUNTRYSIDE I SIT ON THE STEP BETWEEN THE 06:25 CARS. 06:27 I CAN OPEN UP THE DOOR AND I PRAY FOR THE PEOPLE IN 06:29 INDIA. 06:30 AS YOU'RE PASSING BY. 06:31 OH MY, THE THINGS AND SIGHTS YOU SEE AS YOU 06:34 TRAVEL THROUGH THESE RURAL AREAS AND THROUGH THE 06:36 CITIES FROM THE TRAIN IS AMAZING. 06:39 IT'S TRUE. 06:40 AND YOU COME INTO A STATION AND THEN YOU LEAVE 06:42 AND YOU CAN SEE THE PEOPLE OUT AND THE FARMERS AND 06:44 ALL OF THAT. 06:45 RIGHT, IT'S REALLY NEAT. 06:46 YES. 06:46 WELL GOOD FOR YOU. 06:47 SO YOU TRAVEL BY TRAIN AND SO LITERALLY, BECAUSE YOU 06:50 COVER SUCH DISTANCES, THAT'S THE BEST WAY FOR 06:53 YOU TO DO THAT RIGHT? 06:54 RIGHT. 06:54 OKAY. 06:55 WE ALWAYS TRY TO TRAVEL AT NIGHT TOO SO WE DON'T 06:57 WASTE ANY TIME. 06:58 SURE. 06:59 YES. 07:00 WHEN WE GET THERE WE HIT THE GROUND RUNNING. 07:01 BOOTS GOING ALRIGHT. 07:02 YES. 07:03 HERE'S A PICTURE OF ONE OF OUR TRAINING AREAS IN 07:06 NORTH RAYALASEEMA. 07:08 WE'VE LEARNED TO LOVE THESE MEN AND THEY JUST 07:12 LOVE US AND CALL US MOM AND DAD. 07:14 WE TAKE THEM GIFTS. 07:15 THIS LAST YEAR WE TOOK SEEDS, SQUASH SEEDS. 07:16 AND YOU COULD TAKE THOSE? 07:16 WE DID. 07:17 ALRIGHT. 07:18 YES WE DID. 07:19 THEY WERE COMMERCIALLY PACKAGED SO THEY WERE NOT 07:20 ANYTHING FROM US. 07:21 A FRIEND HAD GIVEN US THOUSANDS OF SEEDS. 07:22 I MEAN WE HAD LOTS AND THEY WERE SO POPULAR. 07:23 HOW NEAT. 07:24 WHAT A GREAT IDEA. 07:38 SO YOU'RE TELLING ME YOU WENT FROM TRAINS TO 07:40 TRAINING. 07:41 IS THAT WHAT YOU'RE TELLING ME? 07:42 FROM TRAINS TO TRAIN? 07:44 THAT'S RIGHT. 07:45 SO THEN YOU GO AND YOU ACTUALLY WORK WITH THE 07:48 GOSPEL OUTREACH WORKERS TO TRAIN THEM. 07:49 THAT'S RIGHT. 07:51 THIS NEXT PICTURE IS TAKEN ON THE ROOF. 07:53 MOST ALL OF THE ROOFS OF PEOPLES' HOMES AND 07:56 BUILDINGS ARE FLAT AND THERE IS USUALLY A LITTLE 08:00 WALL AROUND AS YOU CAN SEE HERE. 08:01 AND SO IT'S A GREAT PLACE TO TRAIN AS WELL ON THE 08:05 ROOF TOPS. 08:06 FROM THOSE ROOF TOPS WE DO REALLY FUN THINGS. 08:09 WE HAVE GAMES AND WE HAVE A FAITH WALK. 08:13 WE BLINDFOLD THE MEN AND THEY HAVE A PARTNER AND 08:16 TEACH THEM TO TRUST IN THEIR PARTNER WHICH IS AN 08:18 ILLUSTRATION OF HOW WE NEED TO TRUST GOD. 08:21 SURE, THAT'S A GOOD ONE. 08:22 SO FOR THE VIEWERS THOUGH LOOKING HERE AT THIS 08:24 PICTURE, DEL AND BONNIE, THESE ARE ALL GOSPEL 08:27 OUTREACH WORKERS WHO ARE THERE AND SO YOU BRING 08:29 THEM TOGETHER. 08:30 SO WHY DON'T YOU EXPLAIN. 08:31 MAYBE THERE IS SOMEONE WHO HASN'T WATCHED "ADVENTURES 08:33 IN MISSIONS" AND THEY DON'T KNOW HOW IMPORTANT 08:35 THESE TRAINING SESSIONS ARE. 08:40 WELL WE ONLY BRING THE BIBLE WORKERS TOGETHER PER 08:43 SECTION OR CONFERENCE. 08:44 AND SO SOMETIMES WE HAVE 45-50. 08:49 SOMETIMES WE ONLY HAVE 13. 08:51 UP IN NORTH ORISSA WE HAVE 16 BIBLE WORKERS. 08:54 SO IT, BUT THE OTHER THREE ARE ABOUT THE SAME SIZE 08:59 LIKE 35-45 AND SO WE DON'T BRING ALL OF OUR BIBLE 09:03 WORKERS TOGETHER. 09:04 BUT IT'S AN OPPORTUNITY FOR TRAINING FOR THEM TO 09:06 COME TOGETHER AND FOR YOU TO HELP THEM WITH BIBLE 09:08 STUDY OPTIONS AND THINGS LIKE THAT RIGHT? 09:11 THAT'S RIGHT. 09:11 OKAY. 09:12 AS WE HAVE BEEN CHANGING THEIR STATUS FROM PASTOR 09:17 TO BIBLE WORKER WE HAVE NEW CURRICULUM THAT HAS 09:21 BEEN PROVIDED TO US FROM GOSPEL OUTREACH TO TELL 09:24 THEIR PERSONAL TESTIMONY AND THEN TO TEACH THEM HOW 09:29 TO TELL BIBLE STORIES. 09:30 WHICH IS HUGELY IMPACTFUL. 09:32 OH MY. 09:32 I HAVE HEARD SOME OF THAT. 09:33 AMEN. 09:34 YES, YES. 09:34 SO THAT'S WHAT YOU'RE DOING AT THESE. 09:36 OKAY GOOD. 09:36 I WANT TO ADD THIS. 09:38 WE MEET WITH THEM ON A ONE-TO-ONE AS I MENTIONED 09:42 AND ONE OF THE THINGS WE DO WHICH IS REALLY 09:44 INDICATIVE OF THEIR SPIRITUALITY AS A CHECK, 09:48 LOOK AT THEIR BIBLES. 09:49 IT'S AMAZING HOW YOU CAN JUST TELL BY SOMEONE'S 09:52 BIBLE HOW THEY ARE INFLUENCED BY THE WORD OF 09:57 GOD. 09:58 AND WE LEARN THE THINGS THAT THEY WANT US TO PRAY 10:01 ABOUT AND WE PRAY TOGETHER. 10:03 WE HAVE A FORM THAT THEY HAVE FILLED OUT THAT TELLS 10:06 ABOUT IF THEIR WIFE SUPPORTS. 10:07 FIND OUT HOW MANY CHILDREN THEY HAVE, IF THEY OWN 10:10 THEIR HOME, IF THEY HAVE A BICYCLE, HOW THEY GET 10:14 AROUND. 10:15 AND THEN WE HAVE THEM MAKE A MAP OF THEIR HOME AND 10:21 HOW FAR IT IS TO THEIR VILLAGES. 10:23 MOST ALL OF THEM HAVE VILLAGES 10, 12, 15 10:25 VILLAGES WITHIN SIX TO EIGHT KILOMETERS OF THEIR 10:29 HOME. 10:30 SO THEY ARE REALLY HAVING TO TRAVEL THEN TO ALL 10:32 THESE DIFFERENT PLACES. 10:33 AND SO WE ARE RECOMMENDING THAT THEY TRANSFER THEIR 10:36 DUTIES FROM BEING JUST A PASTOR IN THESE CHURCHES 10:40 TO USE THEIR TALENTS TO SPREAD THE GOSPEL THROUGH 10:45 THEIR TESTIMONY. 10:46 WELL AND THE BIBLE TALKS ABOUT THAT THAT WE NEED TO 10:48 BE PREPARED WITH WHAT GOD HAS BLESSED US WITH TO BE 10:52 ABLE TO SHARE THAT WITH OTHER PEOPLE. 10:53 THAT'S RIGHT. 10:54 AND THAT'S WHERE THE IMPACT OF WHAT JESUS HAS 10:56 DONE IN OUR LIVES THAT WE CAN SHARE THAT WITH 10:58 SOMEONE ELSE. 10:59 THAT'S RIGHT. 11:00 WELL THAT'S FANTASTIC. 11:01 WELL IF YOU'RE EXCITED ABOUT HEARING WHAT'S GOING 11:03 ON IN INDIA FROM BONNIE AND DEL ORSER WE WOULD 11:05 LIKE TO ENCOURAGE YOU TO BE A PART OF THE FAMILY OF 11:08 GOSPEL OUTREACH BECAUSE WE'RE ALL CHILDREN OF 11:11 JESUS AND OF OUR FATHER GOD AND WE WANT TO SHARE 11:14 ALL OF THE GREAT NEWS THAT JESUS HAS DIED FOR US, 11:17 THAT HE LOVES US AND HE'S COMING BACK AGAIN SOON. 11:19 AND THAT'S WHAT WE'RE WANTING TO DO IN THE 10/40 11:21 WINDOW AND WE'RE JUST SO EXCITED THAT YOU HAVE 11:23 JOINED US TO DO THAT. 11:25 AMEN. 11:26 I NEED TO SPREAD THE GOSPEL HERE AT HOME. 11:32 WHERE IS THE 10/40 WINDOW ANYWAY? 11:35 THOSE PEOPLE LIVE TOO FAR AWAY. 11:38 SOMEONE ELSE CAN TELL THEM ABOUT JESUS. 11:40 MAYBE THEY COULD JUST WATCH TV. 11:44 NEARLY THREE BILLION PEOPLE TO REACH. 11:47 MY HEAD HURTS. 11:48 THERE'S NOTHING I CAN DO. 11:51 I GIVE UP. 11:53 WHAT'S THE POINT OF TRYING? 11:55 I CAN'T MAKE A DIFFERENCE. 11:58 ACTUALLY YOU CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE. 12:01 AND JESUS ASKED YOU TO GO TO ALL THE WORLD. 12:07 WHERE? 12:07 ALL THE WORLD. 12:09 HOW CAN I GO, I HAVE COMMITMENTS. 12:13 YOU CAN PRAY. 12:14 YOU CAN VOLUNTEER YOUR TALENTS. 12:17 YOU CAN TELL OTHERS. 12:19 YOU CAN GIVE MONEY TO SPONSOR BIBLE WORKERS. 12:22 MILLIONS OF PEOPLE ARE SEARCHING FOR HOPE AND 12:25 MEANING. 12:26 BUT THEY WON'T FIND IT WITHOUT YOU. 12:27 BE THE SPARK. 12:30 LIGHT THE FIRE. 12:32 FINISH THE WORK.

IT WAS ABSOLUTELY ADORABLE. 13:45 THESE KIDS CAME IN AND THEY HAD ALL THESE COINS 13:47 AND EVERYTHING THAT THEY HAD BROUGHT IN AND JUST 13:49 LIKE THE WIDOW WITH HER TWO MITES. 13:52 WE ARE JUST GRATEFUL AND THANKFUL FOR WHATEVER THE 13:54 LORD HAS IMPRESSED UPON YOU TO GIVE HERE AS WE 13:57 HELP SHARE JESUS IN THE 10/40 WINDOW. 13:59 AMEN. 14:01 SO BONNIE AND DEL ORSER ARE HERE AND SHARING

SO MANY PEOPLE SITTING AROUND 14:37 IDLE. 14:38 AND I THINK OH IF I COULD JUST GO UP AND TALK TO 14:40 THEM AND SHARE JESUS. 14:42 BUT OF COURSE NOW WE CAN'T DO THAT. 14:45 WE'RE NOT SUPPOSED TO PROSELYTIZE WHEN WE GO 14:48 THERE. 14:49 WE CAN SHARE HEALTH MESSAGES AND TRAIN THAT 14:52 WAY BUT WE CAN TRAIN OUR BIBLE WORKERS TO SHARE 14:54 JESUS. 14:55 SO THERE ARE MORE RESTRICTIONS ON YOU AS

16:03 I MEAN THEY PROBABLY HAVE A HALF A GALLON OF RICE ON 16:05 THEIR PLATE AND THEN THEY PUT THIS CURRY AND DAHL ON 16:11 THEIR PLATES AND THEY EAT IT WITH THEIR HANDS. 16:14 WE EAT WITH THEM. 16:16 THEY LOVE IT WHEN WE SIT AND EAT WITH THEM. 16:17 OH YES, VISITING. 16:19 AND SO THEY DON'T ALL, A LOT OF THEM CAN'T SPEAK 16:22 ENGLISH BUT WE DO OUR BEST. 16:24 OH YES, OH YES. 16:25 THERE'S THE INTERNATIONAL LANGUAGE OF JUST BEING 16:27 HUMANS RIGHT? 16:28 YES. 16:29 THAT'S RIGHT. 16:29 BUT YES YOU'RE RIGHT. 16:30 SO IT'S THE RICE AND YOU TAKE THE RICE AND THEN YOU 16:32 GET A LITTLE CURRY

AND THEY ARE VERY GRACIOUS AND WANT TO SHARE. 17:45 THEY ARE ALWAYS WILLING TO PROVIDE LOTS OF VEGETABLES 17:47 AND FRUITS FOR US WHICH IS REALLY APPRECIATED BECAUSE 17:50 WE USUALLY DON'T EAT THEIR CHICKEN WHICH THEY BRING A 17:52 LOT OF CHICKEN USUALLY. 17:53 BUT A LOT OF INDIANS ARE VEGETARIAN. 17:54 YES THEY ARE. 17:55 SO YOU HAVE THAT IN A LOT OF CULTURES. 17:56 AND IT'S CLEAN MEAT. 18:01

18:22 YOU DON'T HAVE TO GIVE LARGE AMOUNTS BUT WHEN 18:24 YOUR HEARTS IN IT AND YOUR PRAYERS ARE IN IT IT GOES 18:25 A LONG WAYS TO SPREAD THE GOSPEL. 18:26 WELL THAT'S WHAT I WAS WANTING TO SAY

PARTICULAR ONE ORIYA. 19:32 ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE DO AND I WANTED TO SHOW 19:36 THIS AS WELL IS WE HAVE THEM MAKE A MAP, I GUESS I 19:40 DID MENTION THAT, OF THE AREAS. 19:42 I THOUGHT THAT WAS NEXT BUT MAYBE IT'S NOT. 19:44 WELL THAT'S A GREAT IDEA SO THEN YOU KIND OF HAVE 19:46 AN IDEA OF YOU KNOW WHERE THEY ARE FROM AND ALL OF 19:49 THAT. 19:49 YES. 19:50 WE WANT TO ENCOURAGE THEM TO GO TO THE UNENTERED 19:52 VILLAGES THAT ARE VERY CLOSE TO THEM AND START 19:54 MINGLING AND START HAVING A PRESENCE THERE. 19:58 SHARING JESUS. 19:59 THIS PARTICULAR PICTURE IS A GREAT ONE BECAUSE YOU 20:02 SEE THAT INDIAN, HE HAS A BALL IN HIS HAND. 20:05 YES. 20:06 AND WE OFTEN TIMES DO GAMES WITH THEM TO GET THE 20:09 MESSAGE OF TEAM WORK LIKE THE FAITH WALK WE TALKED 20:13 ABOUT. 20:14 THIS BALL IS THIS GAME THAT YOU THROW IT AMONG 20:18 YOURSELVES AND THEN, AND SOME OF THOSE MEN SAID 20:21 THEY HAD NEVER CAUGHT A BALL IN THEIR LIVES AND SO 20:24 IT'S VERY AWKWARD FOR THEM. 20:26 AND THIS GAME IS SOMETHING THEY CAN TAKE BACK TO 20:28 THEIR VILLAGE AND PLAY WITH THE YOUTH IN THE 20:30 VILLAGE. 20:31 SO YOU TOSS THE BALL AND WHOEVER CATCHES THE BALL 20:32 HAS TO ANSWER A QUESTION OR SOMETHING. 20:34 WE HAVE A STOP WATCH AND WE SEE HOW FAST THEY CAN 20:36 PASS IT. 20:37 FIRST OF ALL THEY GATHER IN A CIRCLE LIKE YOU SEE 20:39 HERE. 20:40 THEY THROW THE BALL TO SOMEONE AND THEN YOU 20:42 REMEMBER WHO YOU THREW TO. 20:44 OKAY. 20:45 AND THAT WAY AND WE TIME THEM TO SEE HOW FAST THEY 20:48 CAN GET THE BALL CLEAR AROUND. 20:50 AND PRETTY SOON THEY REALIZE THAT IF THEY GET 20:52 CLOSER TOGETHER IN A CIRCLE IT GOES FASTER. 20:55 THEN AFTER WHILE THEY LEARN THAT THEY CAN JUST 20:57 ROLL THE BALL DOWN THEIR ARM AND IT CATCHES EVERY 20:59 HAND. 21:00 AND I'M YEAH, YEAH, YEAH, YEAH! 21:02 WE HAVE NO COMPETITION. 21:03 IT'S REALLY FUN. 21:05 THAT'S FUN. 21:05 YES. 21:06 THAT IS FUN. 21:07 WELL YOU HAVE ONE MORE PICTURE FOR US. 21:09 YES, IT'S SHOWING HERE THE BICYCLES THAT

(LOUD SINGING, MORE LOUD SINGING, DRUMS, MUSIC, 22:08 SINGING, MUSIC, MORE DRUMS, TALKING) MY NAME IS 22:14 _____AND MY WIFE'S NAME IS ____. 22:19 I HAVE TWO SONS AND THREE DAUGHTERS. 22:25 I AM WORKING AS A GOSPEL OUTREACH VOLUNTEER. 22:31 BEFORE I BECAME A CHRISTIAN I BELONGED TO A 22:38 HINDU COMMUNITY. 22:40 I OPPOSED CHRISTIANITY WHEREVER I WENT AND USED 22:47 TO INSULT WHOEVER WOULD PRAY. 22:51 BUT SOMEHOW GOD SOFTENED MY HEART AND I REALIZED 22:58 MYSELF THAT JESUS CHRIST IS THE REAL GOD. 23:04 I STARTED ATTENDING CHURCH ON SUNDAYS. 23:09 ONE DAY A SEVENTH-DAY ADVENTIST PASTOR CALLED ME 23:13 AND SAID WE WOULD LIKE TO HAVE A FAMILY WORSHIP WITH 23:18 YOU. 23:19 WE ACCEPTED THE OFFER AND INVITED THEM TO OUR HOME. 23:24 WE STARTED WORSHIPPING REGULARLY WITH THIS FAMILY 23:27 AND WOULD SPEND HOURS TOGETHER DISCUSSING THE 23:31 SABBATH AND OTHER BIBLE TRUTHS. 23:33 EVENTUALLY SIX OF US FROM OUR VILLAGE ACCEPTED THE 23:38 TRUTH AND IN 1996 WE WERE BAPTIZED AND JOINED THE 23:43 SEVENTH-DAY ADVENTIST CHURCH. 23:44 EVERY SABBATH SIX OF US GATHERED AND WORSHIPED IN 23:45 A SMALL SHED. 23:46 AS WE WERE WORSHIPPING PEOPLE FROM OUR COMMUNITY 23:47 LAUGHED AT OUR GROUP AND EXCOMMUNICATED US FROM ANY 23:49 VILLAGE EVENTS. 23:50 ONE DAY A FINANCIAL CRISIS CAME TO ME AND MY FAMILY 23:51 AND WE DID NOT HAVE SUFFICIENT FOOD TO EAT. 23:52 BEFORE WE ACCEPTED THE TRUTH WE HAD PROPERTY, 23:53 SUFFICIENT FOOD AND MONEY. 23:54 BUT NOW WE HAD NOTHING. 23:55 I BORROWED ONE LAKH AND I WAS UNABLE TO REPAY THE 23:56 DEBT SO WE MIGRATED TO ANOTHER PLACE. 23:58 AFTER TWO YEARS OF HARDSHIP WE RETURNED TO 23:59 OUR HOME VILLAGE AND RESUMED WORSHIPPING ON 24:00 SABBATH IN THE VILLAGE. 24:01 SLOWLY I ACQUIRED ALL THAT I HAD LOST. 24:02 GOD GAVE ME A PEACE IN MY LIFE DURING THOSE HARD 24:04 TIMES, AND I LEARNED TO LEAN ON HIM. 24:05 EVERY SABBATH I WOULD CONDUCT WORSHIP IN MY 24:07 VILLAGE, AND DURING THE WEEK I WOULD VISIT OTHER 24:08 VILLAGES TO SHARE JESUS. 24:09 I SOON FELT THAT GOD WAS CALLING ME TO MINISTRY 24:10 WORK AND THROUGH THE LORD'S GUIDANCE I WAS 24:11 DIRECTED AND ACCEPTED AS A GOSPEL OUTREACH VOLUNTEER. 24:44 THROUGH THE YEARS I HAVE VISITED MANY PEOPLE IN OUR 24:45 VILLAGE AND THE SURROUNDING VILLAGES TO 24:46 SHARE THE LOVE OF JESUS. 24:47 I SHARE MY PERSONAL TESTIMONY WHEREVER I GO. 24:48 MY WIFE AND CHILDREN HAVE ALSO JOINED ME IN 24:50 MINISTRY. 24:51 WHEN I BECAME A BIBLE WORKER ONLY SIX FAMILIES 24:52 WERE ATTENDING THE CHURCH. 24:53 BUT NOW TODAY WE HAVE 27 FAMILIES ATTENDING THIS 24:54 CHURCH. 24:55 THEY BEGAN TO LOVE MY FAMILY AND STARTED 25:00 CONDUCTING PRAYER MEETINGS FASTING AND PRAYING 25:17 REGULARLY. 25:20 WITH A LOT OF ENTHUSIASM ALL ARE ATTENDING AND 25:23 GIVING 100 PERCENT SUPPORT TO ME IN MY EFFORTS. 25:26 THROUGH GOSPEL OUTREACH I WAS GIFTED A BICYCLE TO 25:29 ENABLE ME TO TRAVEL TO VILLAGES BEYOND MY REACH 25:31 TO SHARE THE LOVE OF JESUS. 25:32 THIS BICYCLE HAS ASSISTED ME IN REACHING MANY MORE 25:35 SOULS FOR CHRIST. 25:36 I THANK MY HEAVENLY FATHER EVERY DAY FOR GIVING ME 25:38 SUCH GOOD HEALTH WHILE I WORK IN HIS SERVICE. 25:41 FROM THE TIME I JOINED AS A BIBLE WORKER I STOPPED 25:44 EATING MEAT. 25:45 I SURRENDERED MY LIFE TO THE SPREADING OF THE 25:47 GOSPEL. 25:48 OUR GOD IS A GREAT GOD. 25:49 HE HAS DONE WONDERS IN MY LIFE. 25:51 NOW I AM LIVING A HAPPY LIFE. 25:52 I HAVE NO WORRIES ABOUT FOOD, SHELTER OR CLOTHING. 25:55 I AM A VERY HAPPY MAN ON EARTH. 25:57 BY GOD'S GRACE ME AND MY WIFE STARTED A TAILORING 26:01 MINISTRY THROUGH THIS CHURCH. 26:02 I HAVE APPOINTED A TEACHER TO TEACH. 26:03 MANY HINDU WOMEN ALONG WITH CHRISTIANS ARE COMING 26:06 FORWARD TO LEARN TAILORING. 26:08 AND BY THAT THEY ARE LEARNING ABOUT JESUS. 26:10 THROUGH THIS WORK WE ARE ABLE TO BRING PRECIOUS 26:12 SOULS TO THE FEET OF JESUS. 26:14 I ASK THAT YOU ALL CONTINUE TO PRAY FOR MY 26:16 FAMILY AND MY MINISTRY. 26:20 (MUSIC PLAYING) WOW, ISN'T THAT FANTASTIC WHAT THE 26:26 LORD IS DOING IN THIS PART OF INDIA. 26:28 DEL AND BONNIE, TO SEE THE BICYCLES AND THE SEWING 26:31 MACHINES AND HOW THESE GOSPEL OUTREACH WORKERS 26:34 ARE ABLE TO GO OUT AND VISIT WITH PEOPLE. 26:35 THIS IS FANTASTIC. 26:36 AMEN. 26:37 AND YOU KNOW IT'S INTERESTING FOR US TO SIT 26:39 HERE IN OUR WESTERN CULTURE AND LOOK AT YOU 26:41 KNOW THE WOMEN USING THE TREADLE SEWING MACHINES. 26:44 YOU KNOW THERE'S NO ELECTRICITY BUT THANK THE 26:46 LORD THEY'RE ABLE TO USE WHAT THEY HAVE AND TO HELP 26:49 THESE WOMEN. 26:50 MAY THE LORD BLESS BOTH OF YOU AS YOU RETURN TO INDIA 26:54 AND THANK YOU FOR ALL THAT YOU DO. 26:55 AND WE PRAY FOR YOUR SAFETY AS YOU SHARE JESUS. 26:58 ALL GLORY TO JESUS. 27:00 ABSOLUTELY. 27:01 AND WE WANT TO SAY THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR BEING A 27:03 PART OF "ADVENTURES IN MISSIONS" AND GOSPEL
