BECAUSE WE HEAR FROM MANY OF YOU AND I HEAR FROM 00:52 MANY OF YOU PERSONALLY AND AS I'VE SAID TO MANY OF 00:55 YOU THAT I JUST IMAGINE ME WAVING AT YOU AND SAYING 00:58 "HI". 00:59 SO RIGHT NOW THOUGH I AM SAYING "HI" AND THANK YOU 01:01 FOR BEING A PART OF "ADVENTURES IN MISSIONS" 01:04 HERE AT GOSPEL OUTREACH. 01:05 SO TODAY WE ARE TRAVELLING TO A VERY LARGE COUNTRY 01:09 AND WE HAVE BONNIE AND DEL ORSER WHO ARE HERE WHO 01:12 HAVE A SPECIAL PLACE IN THEIR HEART FOR THE 01:14 COUNTRY OF INDIA. 01:15 INDIA. 01:16 SO INDIA DEL IS RIGHT BEHIND THE POPULATION OF 01:21 CHINA WITH HOW MANY BILLION PEOPLE? 01:23 ONE BILLION FOUR HUNDRED MILLION. 01:26 SO THEY'RE COMING AND I'M SURE-ALMOST THE SAME AS 01:29 CHINA. 01:30 THEY'RE NECK AND NECK. 01:31 THEY'RE NECK, AND NECK AND I'M SURE THAT BOTH OF 01:32 THOSE POPULATIONS CHANGE BY THE SECOND RIGHT? 01:35 RIGHT. 01:36 SO YOU'RE IN CHARGE OF A SPECIAL AREA OF INDIA AND 01:41 TELL US ABOUT IT. 01:43 IT'S CALLED REGION 11 GOSPEL OUTREACH WHICH 01:45 COVERS ALL OF THE STATE OF ODISHA THAT USED TO BE 01:49 CALLED ORISSA AND THE NORTHERN PART OF ANDHRA 01:52 PRADESH. 01:53 IT'S ON THE SOUTH EASTERN AREA OF INDIA. 01:57 PERFECT AND WE HAVE, WE HAVE A MAP OF THAT AND YOU 02:00 FOLKS HAVE BEEN GOING TO THIS PART OF THE WORLD FOR 02:03 HOW MANY YEARS NOW? 02:04 THIS NEXT TIME IN JANUARY, FEBRUARY WILL BE 19 TIMES. 02:08 NINETEEN TIMES. 02:09 AND WE HAVE HOW MANY GOSPEL OUTREACH WORKERS IN 02:12 THIS AREA? 02:13 ONE HUNDRED FORTH SEVEN GOSPEL OUTREACH WORKERS. 02:17 THEY COVER ABOUT 90 MILLION PEOPLE IN OUR 02:21 AREA. 02:22 NINETY MILLION PEOPLE AND WE HAVE NOT EVEN 200 02:25 GOSPEL OUTREACH WORKERS BUT THAT CAN BE CHANGING 02:27 HERE AS PEOPLE ARE WATCHING AND WANTING TO 02:29 SUPPORT THE GOSPEL OUTREACH WORKERS. 02:32 BUT WE KNOW THAT THEY ARE SERVING THE LORD AND 02:35 SHARING JESUS. 02:36 THAT'S THE WONDERFUL THING ABOUT GOSPEL OUTREACH IS 02:39 THAT THE SUPPORT THAT WE GET THE MAJORITY OF THAT 02:44 MINUS ABOUT TWO PERCENT ALL GOES TO SUPPORT BIBLE 02:46 WORKERS AND SO AS OUR DONORS GIVE WE CAN ADD 02:50 MORE BIBLE WORKERS. 02:51 ABSOLUTELY. 02:52 AND THAT'S THE WHOLE POINT RIGHT. 02:53 SO MORE PEOPLE CAN KNOW ABOUT JESUS IN THIS 02:55 HEAVILY POPULATED AREA OF THE WORLD. 02:58 WE PERSONALLY WOULD LIKE TO THANK THE DONORS FOR 03:00 THEIR CONTINUAL CONSISTENT GIVING MAKING IT POSSIBLE 03:04 FOR THESE MEN TO WORK FOR THE LORD. 03:07 YES. 03:08 MEN AND WOMEN TOO IN MANY OF THESE DIFFERENT PLACES, 03:10 WORKING AS TEAMS. 03:11 SO YOU GO AND YOU MEET WITH THE GOSPEL OUTREACH 03:14 WORKERS AND TRAINING IS A BIG PART OF WHAT YOU DO 03:17 WITH THE GOSPEL OUTREACH WORKERS. 03:21 BUT TELL US A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THE ENVIRONMENT OF 03:24 INDIA RIGHT NOW AS FAR AS SHARING JESUS AND 03:26 CHRISTIANITY. 03:27 WHAT'S THE ENVIRONMENT LIKE? 03:29 WELL THE PRIME MINISTER NOW OF COURSE IS HINDU AND 03:31 THE MAJORITY, 82 PERCENT NOW OF INDIA IS HINDUISM. 03:36 AND SO IT HAS BEEN A REAL CHALLENGE TO SPREAD THE 03:39 GOSPEL AS WE USED TO THROUGH EVANGELISM. 03:42 WE HAVE TO BE REALLY CAREFUL AND REALIZE THAT 03:44 WE COULD BE IN SERIOUS TROUBLE. 03:46 SO WE REALIZE THE FOCUS NOW HAS BEEN MORE CENTERED 03:49 ON EVANGELISM THROUGH MEDICAL MISSIONARY WORK. 03:55 AND SO WE HAVE INVITED A MEDICAL TEAM TO COME AND 04:00 HOLD TRAININGS FOR OUR WORKERS. 04:02 AND THAT'S A WAY OF STILL MINISTERING TO THE PEOPLE 04:05 AS JESUS MINISTERED TO THE HEALTH OF SO MANY PEOPLE 04:09 AND STILL DOES AND HE'S DOING THAT RIGHT NOW. 04:11 SO BONNIE WHAT IS IT LIKE TO SEE THESE PEOPLE COME 04:14 IN AND LEARN? 04:15 WELL THESE ARE YOUNG PEOPLE. 04:16 THEY'RE MEDICAL PEOPLE. 04:17 THEY LOVE THE LORD. 04:19 THEY ACTUALLY COME FROM DIFFERENT PARTS OF THE 04:20 WORLD. 04:21 OH DO THEY. 04:22 YES. 04:23 OKAY HERE'S A PICTURE OF THE TEAM HERE. 04:24 TELL US ABOUT THIS. 04:25 AND THE MAN IN THE RIGHT IS THE DIRECTOR. 04:26 AND THEN THESE ARE PEOPLE THAT HAVE COME THAT HAVE 04:27 SPECIALTY TRAINING TO TRAIN OUR BIBLE WORKERS. 04:29 AND WE TRAIN IN ALL FOUR OF OUR SECTIONS WITH THE 04:30 MEDICAL TEAM. 04:31 AND SOMETIMES THEY COME EARLY THE TEAM AND THEN 04:32 THEY WILL DO A REVIEW IN ONE OF THE SECTIONS SO WE 04:33 FEEL IT'S VERY IMPORTANT THIS TRAINING IS ONGOING. 04:35 SO WHAT ARE SOME OF THE MEDICAL THINGS THAT THEY 04:36 ARE TRAINING THE GOSPEL OUTREACH WORKERS IN? 04:37 BASICALLY THEY COVER THE FOUR NATURAL LAWS OF 04:39 HEALTH. 04:40 WE CALL IT AN ACRONYM OF NEWSTART WHICH A LOT OF US 04:41 ARE FAMILIAR WITH. 04:42 NUTRITION, EXERCISE, WATER, SUNSHINE, TRUST IN 04:43 GOD IS IN THERE SOMEWHERE. 04:43 RIGHT. 04:44 AND AS WE SEE THAT THIS IS BEING USED THROUGH 04:45 TRAINING THEM IT'S A METHOD OF REACHING THOSE 04:46 IN THE VILLAGES IN A WAY THAT OTHERWISE COULDN'T BE 05:18 POSSIBLE. 05:24 WELL AND AS MANY OF US KNOW, WHO HAVE BEEN TO 05:27 THIS AREA OF THE WORLD, THERE ISN'T A CLINIC ON 05:29 EVERY CORNER. 05:30 THERE ISN'T A HOSPITAL AND THINGS LIKE THAT SO 05:33 HELPING PEOPLE WITH THEIR HEALTH NEEDS AT HOME WITH 05:37 NATURAL REMEDIES AND THINGS LIKE THAT IS VERY 05:40 HELPFUL. 05:41 RIGHT. 05:42 SO YOU HAVE SOME MORE PICTURES TO SHARE WITH US. 05:44 THIS IS A PICTURE OF OUR GROUP, MEDICAL 05:46 MISSIONARIES AND BONNIE AND I AND AARON THERE WITH 05:50 THE GLASSES ON HIS HEAD. 05:51 AARON RITTENOUR AND WE'LL BE SEEING A VIDEO FROM HIM 05:53 LATER IN THE PROGRAM. 05:54 THAT'S RIGHT. 05:55 AND THE MAN IN THE WHITE SHIRT WHICH IS SECOND FROM 06:00 THE RIGHT THERE ACTUALLY CAME TO OUR HOME FROM 06:04 INDIA. 06:05 HE HEARD WE HAD BEEN GOING TO INDIA AND HE WAS AN 06:07 ANSWER TO OUR PRAYERS. 06:08 IT WAS SO WONDERFUL AS WE REALIZED HE WAS TO BRING 06:13 AN ANSWER TO THE CHALLENGES THAT WE WERE 06:14 FACING IN REACHING THE UNREACHED. 06:16 WONDERFUL. 06:17 HIS NAME IS JOSHUA AND WE HAVE BECOME VERY GOOD 06:20 FRIENDS. 06:21 WONDERFUL WONDERFUL. 06:23 SO THEN TELL US MORE ABOUT THE TRAINING. 06:26 WELL THE TRAINING WHEN THE PEOPLE COME OR EXCUSE ME, 06:31 WHEN THE BIBLE WORKERS THEY DO DIFFERENT KINDS OF 06:34 TREATMENTS ON EACH OTHER. 06:36 THEY LEARN TO TAKE BLOOD PRESSURE AND WEIGHT AND 06:39 ACTUALLY CHECK SUGAR FOR DIABETES. 06:42 DIABETES IS VERY VERY HIGH IN INDIA. 06:45 IT IS. 06:46 YES IT IS. 06:47 BECAUSE OF SO MUCH EATING OF RICE AND ONLY RICE OR 06:50 JUST- SO MUCH OIL AND A LOT OF SUGAR. 06:52 OIL AND SUGAR. 06:53 OH INTERESTING. 06:54 OKAY. 06:54 AND MAINLY OIL. 06:56 THEY HAVE TRACED IT BACK. 06:58 ANYWAY THEY GET TO PRACTICE ON EACH OTHER AND 07:02 THEN IN THE AFTERNOON AFTER MORNING TRAINING, 07:04 THIS IS PROBABLY AFTER ABOUT A WEEK AND A HALF OF 07:06 TRAINING, THEY START GOING INTO THE VILLAGES. 07:09 AND THAT'S WHAT WE'RE SEEING HERE. 07:11 YES AND THEY ARE GOING TO INVITE. 07:13 THEY ARE GOING TO INVITE THE COMMUNITY TO THIS 07:16 FAIR, A HEALTH FAIR THAT THEY ARE GOING TO HAVE. 07:19 AND OH IT'S AMAZING HOW MANY PEOPLE COME TO THE 07:22 HEALTH FAIR. 07:23 OH I'M SURE. 07:23 THEY LOVE TO COME. 07:24 WORD TRAVELS FAST AND YES. 07:26 BUT THE BIBLE WORKERS GET TO PRACTICE WHAT THEY'VE 07:28 BEEN TAUGHT. 07:29 THAT'S FANTASTIC. 07:30 AND WHAT'S THE RESPONSE? 07:31 DO YOU HAVE ANY STORIES OF SOME OF THESE? 07:34 OH HERE WE HAVE MORE PICTURES HERE. 07:35 THESE ARE PEOPLE WAITING IN LINE TO GO THROUGH 07:37 TRIAGE AND TO DECIDE MAYBE HOW WE CAN HELP THEM IN A 07:42 SPECIFIC WAY. 07:44 AND THEY LEARN HOW TO TREAT THEIR ILLNESS 07:46 THROUGH THESE NATURAL MEANS. 07:49 AND SO WE HAVE IT'S KIND OF LIKE A PATHWAY TO 07:51 HEALTH BONNIE RIGHT? 07:52 YES. 07:53 AND WHAT IS THAT FOR SOMEONE WHO MIGHT NOT KNOW 07:54 WHAT THAT IS. 07:56 WELL PATHWAY TO HEALTH IS A PROGRAM THAT THEY HAVE 08:00 HERE IN THE UNITED STATES, AND IT'S AN OPPORTUNITY 08:05 FOR MEDICAL PEOPLE TO COME TOGETHER AND SERVE THE 08:08 COMMUNITY. 08:09 AND THEY LINE UP BY THE THOUSANDS ACTUALLY, AND 08:11 IT'S A WONDERFUL PROGRAM. 08:12 YOU ARE HAVING YOUR PATHWAY TO HEALTH IN 08:14 INDIA. 08:15 I WENT TO ONE HERE AND OH IT WAS SUCH A BLESSING. 08:18 I THINK MOST OF THE PEOPLE PROBABLY THAT ARE 08:20 CONNECTED WITH OUR CHURCH REALIZE WHAT A GREAT 08:22 BLESSING IT'S BEEN FOR A COMMUNITY. 08:24 IT'S A HUGE BLESSING. 08:25 I WANT TO TELL YOU ABOUT AN ELDERLY MAN WHO CAME 08:28 AND HE HAD A BIG WHITE ENVELOPE, EXCUSE ME, 08:30 MANILLA ENVELOPE AND HE JUST KEPT IT WITH HIM. 08:33 SO FINALLY ONE OF THE MEDICAL PEOPLE SAID CAN I 08:37 SEE WHAT'S IN YOUR ENVELOPE. 08:39 AND SO HE HANDED IT TO THEM, NOT ABLE TO SPEAK 08:42 THE SAME LANGUAGE OF COURSE, AND THEY LOOKED AT 08:44 IT AND WE WONDERED IF IT WAS THE MAN'S X-RAYS BUT 08:47 COME TO FIND OUT IT WAS HIS WIFE'S X-RAYS AND HE 08:50 WAS THERE IN BEHALF OF HIS WIFE. 08:53 OH HE WANTED OUR MEDICAL TEAM TO COME TO HIS HOME. 08:57 FINALLY A DAY CAME. 08:59 HE SHOWED UP AT THE CLINIC, I MEAN WHERE WE 09:02 WERE DOING THE CLASSES, AND MADE SURE THAT THEY 09:05 WERE COMING TO HIS HOUSE. 09:05 BUT SHE HAD NOT BEEN OUT OF BED IN MONTHS. 09:09 HIS WIFE HAD NOT BEEN OUT OF BED IN MONTHS CLAIMING 09:12 THAT HER BACK HURT AND HER LEGS. 09:13 BEFORE THE MEDICAL TEAM LEFT, MASSAGE, WATER, 09:15 GETTING HER UP, STRETCHING HER LEGS, SHE WAS WALKING 09:16 BEFORE THEY LEFT. 09:17 WELL PRAISE THE LORD. 09:18 IT WAS AND LOTS OF PRAYER OF COURSE. 09:19 YES SURE. 09:20 THE NEXT DAY I GOT TO GO BACK WITH THE MEDICAL 09:21 TEAM. 09:21 I JUST HAD TO SEE

09:52 SEE HOW MUCH SHE HAD IMPROVED. 09:53 OH PRAISE THE LORD. 09:54 SO ISN'T THAT AMAZING. 09:55 IT WAS A MIRACLE. 09:56 YES. 09:57 HE DID THEM IN THE BIBLE AND HE IS STILL DOING THEM 09:58 TODAY. 09:59 THAT'S RIGHT. 10:00 BUT THAT WAS JUST SO MUCH FUN. 10:01 OH SEE AND TO BE ABLE TO WITNESS THAT AND SEE THAT. 10:03 HOW FANTASTIC. 10:04 AND DEL, TELL US A SCRIPTURE THAT MIGHT COME 10:07 TO YOUR MIND WHEN YOU THINK ABOUT THAT. 10:10 I'VE THOUGHT OF THIS SCRIPTURE SO MANY TIMES. 10:12 THE LAST PARABLE OF JESUS HE GAVE IN MATTHEW 25. 10:15 WE CAN PICTURE GOD HIGH ON HIS THRONE, JUST LIKE A 10:21 SHEPHERD DIVIDES THE GOATS FROM THE SHEEP HE SAYS 10:25 UNTO THE RIGHTEOUS, COME AND ENTER THE KINGDOM 10:27 PREPARED FOR YOU FROM THE FOUNDATION OF THE WORLD. 10:31 FOR I WAS HUNGRY AND YOU FED ME. 10:32 I WAS THIRSTY AND YOU GAVE ME DRINK, NAKED AND YOU 10:36 CLOTHED ME, IN PRISON YOU VISITED ME, SICK YOU CAME 10:40 TO ME. 10:41 AND THE RIGHTEOUS SAY WHEN DID WE DO ALL THOSE THINGS 10:44 AND WHAT DID JESUS RESPOND. 10:47 INASMUCH AS YOU'VE DONE IT UNTO ONE OF THE LEAST OF 10:50 THESE YOU'VE DONE IT UNTO ME. 10:53 AMAZING THOUGHT ISN'T IT. 10:54 YES ABSOLUTELY. 10:56 AND REGARDLESS OF WHAT WE DO WE CAN'T MEASURE IT IF 10:59 IT'S A SMILE OR HELPING SOMEONE HOLD THE DOOR OR 11:02 SOMETHING WE'RE HELPING EACH OTHER AND WE'RE 11:04 HELPING JESUS. 11:06 WELL THANK YOU FOR SHOWING US ABOUT THE MEDICAL 11:07 MISSIONARY TRAINING. 11:09 THAT IS FANTASTIC AND WE HOPE THE LORD CONTINUES. 11:11 PRAY THAT HE OPENS MORE DOORS FOR THAT FOR THE 11:13 GOSPEL OUTREACH WORKERS. 11:15 AND WE

OF BEING 15:03 INVOLVED WITH THE PLANTING OF MANY CHURCHES IN INDIA 15:06 AND THEY'VE BEEN SUCH AN INSPIRATION TO THE 15:11 CHRISTIAN BELIEVERS. 15:12 (MUSIC) NOW FOR THE LAST FOUR YEARS DEL AND BONNIE 15:16 HAVE BEEN WORKING WITH GOSPEL OUTREACH AS 15:20 REGIONAL DIRECTORS FOR REGION 11 IN INDIA. 15:24 (MUSIC AND TALKING) NOW IF YOU WERE TO LOOK AT A MAP 15:28 OF INDIA THESE ARE THE PLACES THAT THEY ARE 15:31 MOSTLY WORKING. 15:32 ODISHA AND PART OF ANDHRA PRADESH. 15:35 GOOD AFTERNOON. 15:36 WE ARE DEL AND BONNIE ORSER REPRESENTING GOSPEL 15:38 OUTREACH IN REGION 11 WHICH COVERS THREE 15:42 SECTIONS AND ONE REGION IN ANDHRA PRADESH AND ORISSA 15:47 NOW CALLED ODISHA. 15:49 AND WE'RE HALF WAY AROUND THE WORLD IN ONE OF OUR 15:52 FAVORITE COUNTRIES INDIA. 15:54 WE'VE BEEN COMING FOR 17 YEARS. 15:56 WE'VE BEEN GOSPEL OUTREACH DIRECTORS FOR FOUR YEARS. 16:00 GOSPEL OUTREACH HAS A NEW PARADIGM SHIFT. 16:04 THEY'RE WANTING THEIR GOSPEL OUTREACH WORKERS TO 16:07 NO LONGER BE PASTORS BUT TO BE REACHING THE 16:11 UNREACHED FOR JESUS. 16:13 WE'RE GOING TO CALL THEM TRAINER TEACHERS. 16:16 AND THEY'RE ALL GOING TO SHARE THEIR TESTIMONY AS 16:19 AN ENTERING WEDGE TO SHARE JESUS THROUGHOUT THE 16:26 COUNTRY OF INDIA. 16:29 THIS IS VILLAGE AND IT HAS 180 MEMBERS HERE. 16:40 (MUSIC AND SINGING AND CLAPPING AND TALKING) WE 16:49 WILL BE INCORPORATING SOME NEW CURRICULUM AND 16:52 TRAINING THEM TO BE GIVING THEIR OWN TESTIMONY AND 16:57 ADVANCING GOD'S CAUSE IN INDIA. 17:00 (TALKING, BACKGROUND SOUNDS) MY NAME IS 17:04 DARNOKA. 17:05 I HAVE BEEN WORKING AS A GOSPEL MISSIONARY FOR 14 17:08 YEARS. 17:09 THIS IS MY PERSONAL TESTIMONY. 17:12 WHEN I DIDN'T KNOW JESUS I WAS A HINDU. 17:15 I WAS A VERY BAD MAN HAVING MANY BAD HABITS. 17:19 I WAS A SMOKER AND A DRINKER. 17:21 ONE DAY I STARTED VOMITING BLOOD. 17:24 I AM AN ELDERLY MAN AND MY FAMILY EXPECTED ME TO DIE 17:27 LONG AGO. 17:28 WHEN I WAS VOMITING IT SEEMED I HAD VOMITED TWO 17:31 LITERS OF BLOOD. 17:32 MY WIFE AND CHILDREN WERE CRYING FROM CONCERN. 17:36 THEN MY UNCLE CAME TO PRAY FOR ME. 17:38 I SCOLDED HIM. 17:40 I SAID I DO NOT LIKE JESUS OR THE BIBLE OR PRAYER. 17:43 WHEN I WAS ALMOST UNCONSCIOUS AND UNABLE TO 17:47 THINK WELL I REMEMBERED MY UNCLE. 17:49 THE CREATOR OF THE UNIVERSE CAME TO MY MIND. 17:51 I THOUGHT IF MY UNCLE PRAYS FOR ME I WILL GET 17:55 WELL. 17:56 DISEASE WILL BE GONE FROM ME. 17:59 I WOULD COME OUT OF MY WEAKNESS AND BAD THINGS. 18:02 AT THAT TIME I REMEMBERED SAYING, LORD SEND ME 18:06 SOMEBODY TO PRAY FOR ME. 18:08 IF I RECEIVE MY HEALTH BACK I WILL SERVE HIM TILL 18:12 THE LAST BREATH OF MY LIFE. 18:14 WHILE I WAS PRAYING MY UNCLE CAME IN AND WANTED 18:17 TO PRAY FOR ME. 18:18 AFTER HE PRAYED I WAS HEALED. 18:21 WHILE HE WAS PRAYING A LIGHT CAME TO ME. 18:24 I RECEIVED EYES AND I COULD SEE AND RECEIVED 18:27 PEACE. 18:28 IMMEDIATELY WHATEVER HINDU GOD I HAD IN MY HOUSE I 18:32 THREW INTO THE TRASH CAN. 18:35 I ACCEPTED JESUS AND HE IS MY WONDERFUL GOD. 18:37 THEN A PASTOR CAME TO CONDUCT MEETINGS AND 18:41 THROUGH HIS MESSAGE I GAVE MY LIFE TO JESUS AND I WAS 18:45 BAPTIZED. 18:46 FROM THAT TIME FORWARD I AM WORKING FOR THE LORD. 18:49 THIS IS MY TESTIMONY. 18:54 YOU KNOW GOD HAS GIVEN US INSTRUCTION THAT WE WILL 18:56 RECEIVE POWER WHEN THE HOLY SPIRIT COMES UPON US 18:59 TO GIVE OUR TESTIMONY. 19:01 THE LAST WORDS OF JESUS IN FACT. 19:03 WE HAVE A WONDERFUL BIBLE WORKER HERE, A GOSPEL 19:07 OUTREACH BIBLE WORKER, AND THIS IS HIS CONGREGATION 19:09 AND HIS CHURCH. 19:11 AND WE HAVE BEEN SO BLESSED TO BE HERE AND 19:14 THEIR WARM WELCOME OF DANCE AND SONG. 19:16 (DRUMS BEATING, WOMEN SINGING, CLAPPING, VOICES, 19:37 MORE SINGING AND CLAPPING) OH MY HERE COME THE 19:53 FLOWERS OH AND THE WATER. 20:02 (VOICES, TALKING, LAUGHING, MAN TALKING, 20:14 SINGING, DRUMS BEATING) (CHILD TALKING, MAN 20:28 TALKING, CLAPPING) MY NAME IS ____. 20:33 I HAVE BEEN WORKING HERE FOR THE LAST 12 YEARS. 20:37 I WORK AS A GO VOLUNTEER. 20:39 I HAVE TWO CHURCHES UNDER MY CARE. 20:42 GOD HAS BEEN VERY KIND TO ME AND TAKEN CARE OF ME. 20:46 BEFORE I CAME TO THE ADVENTIST FAITH MY FAMILY 20:48 HAD A PLOT OF LAND. 20:50 IT WAS THE SEASON OF TRANSPLANTING RICE 20:52 PADDIES. 20:53 MY FATHER AND I HAD PLANTED PADDY IN THIS PLOT 20:56 THEN SUDDENLY ONE MORNING WHEN WE WENT OUT TO SEE 20:59 THE FIELD, THE CROP WHICH WAS ABOUT TO BLOOM HAD 21:02 TURNED PALE YELLOW AND APPEARED COMPLETELY DRY. 21:05 IF WE HAD THROWN ONE MATCH STICK THE WHOLE CROP WOULD 21:08 HAVE BURNED UP IN MINUTES. 21:10 MY FATHER AND I WANTED TO TRY OUR NEW FOUND 21:12 ADVENTIST FAITH. 21:14 WE WENT TO THE FIELD AND FASTED AND PRAYED FOR 21:16 THREE DAYS. 21:18 SURELY THE LORD HEARD OUR PRAYER AND THE WHOLE FIELD 21:21 ONCE AGAIN TURNED GREEN. 21:23 IN FACT, THAT YEAR WE GOT DOUBLE THE AMOUNT OF CROP. 21:26 GOD BLESSED US. 21:31 THE TOTA CHURCH STARTED IN 1978 IN THE REMOTE VILLAGE 21:35 OF TOTA WHICH IS SURROUNDED BY MOUNTAINS 21:38 AND MINES. 21:39 THE COMMUNICATION HERE IS VERY BAD AND THE AREA IS 21:42 FULL OF DUST AND UNEVEN ROADS. 21:45 I HAVE BEEN WORKING HERE FOR THE LAST 17 YEARS. 21:48 EVERY SABBATH AFTER THE DIVINE SERVICE I VISIT 21:51 EVER HOME IN THE WHOLE AREA AND THROUGH THE NEXT 21:53 FIVE DAYS I VISIT THE HOMES OF THE BELIEVERS AND 21:56 NONBELIEVERS. 21:58 I VISIT HOMES AND TALK TO THEM ABOUT THEIR FAMILY 22:00 AND CHILDREN. 22:02 I ALSO ASK THEM IF I CAN PRAY WITH THEM. 22:05 ONCE THEY ARE OPEN TO MY PRAYERS I READ A FEW 22:07 PORTIONS OF SCRIPTURE AND GO TO THE NEXT VILLAGE. 22:10 I CONTINUE VISITING THESE WILLING FAMILIES UNTIL 22:13 THEY TAKE THE LORD AS THEIR SAVIOR. 22:16 DURING ONE OF MY ROUTINE VISITS I CAME ACROSS A 22:18 FAMILY WHO DID NOT HAVE FOOD TO EAT. 22:21 THEY LIVED ON TOP OF A MOUNTAIN. 22:22 MY FRIEND AND I VISITED THIS FAMILY. 22:25 THEY WERE GROWING NARCOTICS. 22:28 AS I EXPLAINED TO THEM ABOUT GOD, TEARS RAN DOWN 22:31 FROM THEIR EYES AND THEY FELT THE NEED OF A SAVIOR. 22:34 NOW THERE IS ONE NEW ADVENTIST FAMILY IN THIS 22:38 MOUNTAIN VILLAGE. 22:39 I HAVE COMPLETELY DEDICATED MYSELF TO THE 22:41 TASK. 22:43 I LEAVE MY WIFE WHEN I GO FOR LONG DISTANCE 22:45 JOURNEYS, MOSTLY BY WALK TO VARIOUS VILLAGES IN THE 22:49 MOUNTAINS AND VALLEYS. 22:50 WE DO HAVE SOME BUSSES MOVING ONCE IN A WHILE. 22:53 MOST OF THE TIME THERE IS NO MONEY EVEN FOR FARE BUT 22:56 WHEN THE LORD TELLS ME TO GO TO A PARTICULAR PLACE I 23:00 MOVE WITH FAITH AND JUST ENOUGH MONEY COMES FOR 23:03 TRAVEL. 23:04 TODAY I AM A HAPPY MAN BECAUSE THE LORD HAS BEEN 23:06 GRACIOUS TO ME AND HAS GIVEN ME THE PRIVILEGE OF 23:09 WORKING FOR HIM. 23:10 I WILL WORK FOR GOD UNTIL I TAKE MY LAST BREATH. 23:13 I DO NOT HAVE ANYTHING THE WORLD CAN OFFER BUT I HAVE 23:16 THE LORD. 23:20 WHAT A JOY TO BE A PART OF
