00:35 OUTREACH.
00:36 I AM JULIE SANDERS-KEYMER AND WE ARE SHARING THE JOY
00:39 OF JESUS IN THE 10/40 WINDOW AND WE THAT MEANS
00:43 YOU AS WELL, BECAUSE WE ARE ALL PARTNERING
00:45 TOGETHER TO SHARE JESUS IN THIS HUGE EXPANSE ON THE
00:49 OTHER SIDE OF OUR GLOBE BUT IT ALL DEPENDS ON
00:51 WHERE YOU ARE.
00:52 WE ARE OF COURSE, IN NORTH AMERICA AND WE ARE
00:55 THINKING OF THE 10/40 WINDOW THAT IS ON THE
00:57 OTHER SIDE OF THE GLOBE AND IT GOES FROM 10 TO 40
01:00 DEGREES NORTH OF THE EQUATOR AND ALL THOSE
01:02 COUNTRIES AND WEST AFRICA AND IN INDIA AND PAKISTAN
01:06 AND THAILAND AND CAMBODIA AND THE LIST JUST GOES ON
01:09 AND ON.
01:10 THERE ARE SO MANY PEOPLE WHO NEED TO KNOW THE JOY
01:12 OF JESUS AND I HAVE TWO WOMEN HERE ON THE SET WHO
01:15 DO KNOW THE JOY OF JESUS AND THEY LOVE TO SHARE THE
01:17 JOY OF JESUS RIGHT, BEV THOMPSON?
01:19 FOR SURE, YES, WE LOVE-OH YES, WE DO - THE STORIES.
01:22 AND SHIRLEY PANASUK WELCOME TO BOTH OF YOU.
01:24 THANK YOU.
01:25 THANK YOU.
01:26 SO, JESUS HAS JOY FOR ALL OF US AND JESUS HAS JOY
01:29 FOR PEOPLE IN THE 10/40 WINDOW WHO MIGHT NOT EVEN
01:31 KNOW IT.
01:32 THAT'S RIGHT.
01:34 WHEN THEY BELIEVE, THEY LEARN IT FAST.
01:37 YES, AND THERE IS ALSO WITH JOY JESUS ALSO BRINGS
01:40 HEALING, RIGHT?
01:41 FOR SURE.
01:42 AND WE WERE TALKING HERE IN PSALMS 30:2 "THE LORD
01:45 MY GOD I CALL TO YOU FOR HELP AND YOU HEALED ME."
01:50 SO WHY IS THAT SPECIAL TO BOTH OF YOU?
01:52 THAT SCRIPTURE?
01:53 THERE ARE SO MANY EXPERIENCES THAT WE HEAR
01:56 ABOUT AND THAT THE PEOPLE WE SEE THAT HAVE HAD THIS
02:00 HAPPEN TO THEM.
02:01 THEY HAVE CALLED ON THE NAME OF JESUS AND THEY
02:02 BELIEVED AND WHEN THEY BELIEVE GOD DOES ANSWER
02:06 THOSE PRAYERS THEWAY THEY WOULD LIKE THEM TO BE.
02:08 THERE JUST SEEMS TO BE MORE AND MORE HEALING.
02:12 THE LORD, I BELIEVE, THAT THE LORD IS REALLY USING
02:17 THESE HEALINGS TO BRING PEOPLE TO HIM.
02:21 WELL AND JESUS ISN'T ONLY HEALING OUR HEARTSHE IS
02:24 ALSO HEALING AILMENTS AND THINGS ON THE INSIDE- THE
02:27 WHOLE BODY.
02:28 EVERY PART OF OUR BODY.
02:29 SO, WE'VE MENTIONED THESE COUNTRIES IN THE 10/40
02:32 WINDOW AND THERE IS A COUNTRY NEAR AND DEAR TO
02:35 BOTH OF YOUR HEARTS AND MAYBE THERE IS SOMEONE WHO
02:37 MIGHT NOT KNOW WHERE THAT COUNTRY IS AND WHICH
02:41 COUNTRY IT IS.
02:43 NORTHEAST INDIA AND THIS IS FROM CALCUTTA UP INTO
02:47 BHUTAN AND SOUTH OF NEPAL DOWN INTO CENTRAL INDIA.
02:52 YOU CAN SEE WHERE THE FLAG IS ON THE MAP AND THAT IS
02:55 BASICALLY WHERE WE ARE TALKING ABOUT.
02:57 WELL AND IN INDIA YOU KNOW, WE OF COURSE, KNOW
02:59 ABOUT INDIAN FOOD, WE KNOW ABOUT YOU KNOW, GANDHI
03:02 COMING FROM INDIA AND TECHNOLOGY- SO MANY CALL
03:05 CENTERS ARE NOW IN INDIA.
03:06 YES.
03:07 YES.
03:08 JUST SAY ABOUT GANDHI.
03:09 I HAVE VISITED THE START OF HIS MARCH BECAUSE THIS
03:12 IS IN MY TERRITORY IN BIHAR.
03:14 OH INTERESTING.
03:15 WHAT WAS IT LIKE TO BE THERE?
03:16 IT WAS A THRILL OF THRILLS TO THINK THAT THIS IS
03:19 WHERE THE START -THE MARCH BEGAN WITH GANDHI AND WE
03:22 STILL LOOK TO GANDHI FOR WHAT HE HAS DONE FOR THE
03:24 COUNTRY.
03:25 WELL AND TALKING ABOUT PEACE AND THINGS LIKE
03:27 THAT.
03:28 YES.
03:28 AND SO, YOU KNOW WE SO ABSOLUTELY.
03:30 SO, I KNOW THAT YOU LADIES ARE FULL OF STORIES
03:33 BECAUSE YOU ALWAYS ARE SO, WE NEED TO GET GOING HERE
03:35 BECAUSE WE HAVE LIMITED TIME SO LETS' GO.
03:38 I WANT TO START WITH A HEALING STORY AND IT
03:40 DOESN'T SOUND LIKE IT AT FIRST BECAUSE FULMANY WAS
03:42 A -SHE CAME FROM A VILLAGE WITH SARNA OR NATURE
03:44 WORSHIPERS AND ESPECIALLY TREES AND UH, SO THEY
03:45 WORSHIP THE TREES.
03:46 THIS IS HER SPECIAL GOD BECAUSE IT IS NATURE
03:47 WORSHIPERS AND THEY CAN CHOSE ANY PART OF NATURE
03:48 BUT THE TREE IS THE MOST IMPORTANT.
03:51 YOU SEE THESE LADIES THEY ARE CARRYING THE NEEM TREE
04:03 WHICH IS A FAST-GROWING TREE.
04:08 IT AH, MAKES IT SO MOSQUITOES DON'T LIKE YOU.
04:13 OH, IT'S A REPELLANT.
04:14 IT IS A REPELLANT.
04:15 OK.
04:16 AH, AND IT GROWS VERY RAPIDLY.
04:18 WELL BEV, I'M LOOKING AT THIS AND MY NECK WOULD NOT
04:20 BE STRONG ENOUGH TO CARRY THAT - OH MY, THAT'S WHY I
04:24 TOOK A PICTURE OF THESE LADIES.
04:26 THEY ARE SO STRONG.
04:27 YOU SEE THE MUSCLES IN THEIR LEGS AND THEIR ARMS
04:29 AND IN THEIR NECK.
04:30 CAN YOU IMAGINE CARRYING THAT LOAD OF WOOD?
04:33 AND THEIR BACK IF YOU COULD JUST SEE THE BACK OF
04:36 THEM, IT JUST SWAYS WITH THE LOAD.
04:40 I'M JUST ABSOLUTELY ASTOUNDED BY WHAT THEY
04:43 CARRY ON THEIR BACKS.
04:44 AND SO, SHE WORSHIPS ESPECIALLY TREES ALTHOUGH
04:48 IT IS NATURE AND WHAT SHE DOES IS SHE GOES AND GETS
04:51 THESE TREES FROM THE MOUNTAINS OR FROM THE
04:54 FOREST AND BRINGS IT BACK ON HER HEAD AND CUTS IT
04:58 INTO BURNING SIZE PIECES AND THEN SELLS IT IN THE
05:01 MARKETPLACE.
05:02 WELL, SHE IS ALONE, I SAY.
05:05 SHE DOESN'T HAVE A SPOUSE AND SHE HAS FIVE CHILDREN.
05:10 OH MY.
05:11 AND SHE IS PROUD THAT SHE IS ABLE TO DO THIS WORK SO
05:13 THAT SHE CAN AFFORD TO SEND HER CHILDREN ALL TO
05:16 SCHOOL.
05:17 THEY ALL GO TO THE GOVERNMENT SCHOOL AND SHE
05:19 IS A VERY WISE MOTHER.
05:21 WELL, NISTER OUR GOSPEL OUTREACH WORKER HE KNOWS
05:25 THE MARKET PEOPLE.
05:26 HE GOES THERE TO SPREAD THE GOSPEL TOO AND ONE DAY
05:30 HE CAME THAT DIRECTION AND HE FOUND FULMANI RESTING
05:34 UNDER A NEEM TREE AND HE SAID, WHAT IS THE MATTER?
05:39 AND SHE SAID, AH, I'M SO SICK.
05:42 AND SHE WAS REALLY DISTRESSED AND SHE SAID TO
05:46 HIM, SHE WAS SO DISTRESSED THAT SHE ASKED, WHAT'S
05:49 GOING TO HAPPEN TO MY CHILDREN IF I DIE?
05:51 OH, OH.
05:51 THAT'S CALLED SICK.
05:53 SHE WAS SICK.
05:54 THAT'S HOW BAD SHE FELT AND NISTRI SAID TO HER, OH
05:57 MADAM, YOU DON'T NEED TO WORRY.
05:59 I KNOW MY GOD WILL TAKE CARE OF YOU AND TAKE CARE
06:02 OF ANY SITUATION.
06:04 HE'LL TAKE CARE OF YOU.
06:05 LET ME PRAY WITH YOU AND HE PRAYED WITH HER FOR HER
06:09 CHILDREN, FOR HER AND HER HEALING AND HE LEFT HER
06:14 FEELING AT PEACE, YOU MIGHT SAY, WITH GOD BUT
06:18 YET IT WAS HER FEELING OF PEACE AND THE NEXT WHEN
06:24 NISTER WENT HOME, HE PRAYED FOR HER AGAIN WITH
06:27 HIS FAMILY.
06:28 IN THE MORNING HE WENT TO TOWN AND HERE IN THE
06:31 MARKETPLACE WAS FULMANI.
06:33 SHE WAS BACK.
06:34 SHE WAS BACK THE NEXT DAY, YES.
06:36 OK.
06:37 SHE CAME RUNNING TO NISTER SHE SAID IT WAS YOUR GOD.
06:39 SHE TOUCHED HIS FEET AND SAID IT WAS YOUR GOD WHO
06:41 HEALED ME AND SHE WANTED TO KNOW MORE ABOUT
06:45 NISTER'S GOD.
06:46 PRAISE GOD.
06:46 ABSOLUTELY.
06:47 NOW NISTER IS HAVING BIBLE STUDIES WITH HER.
06:51 SHE IS HOPING TO BE BAPTIZED SOON.
06:54 WELL, AND PRAISE THE LORD THAT SHE WILL BE PRAYING
06:57 TO THE LIVING GOD AND NOT TO A TREE BUT YES, THE
07:00 LIVING GOD CREATED BUT THE TREE CAN'T DO ANYTHING FOR
07:03 HER LIKE GOD CAN.
07:05 THAT IS THE BIG THING.
07:07 WE ARE GOING TO BE WORSHIPING THE GOD THAT
07:08 MADE THE TREES.
07:10 BUT LET'S TAKE THIS A STEP FARTHER, THE GOSPEL
07:13 OUTREACH WORKER WAS THERE-SAW THAT THE LADY
07:16 WAS ILL AND THANK THE LORD THAT WE DID HAVE A GOSPEL
07:19 OUTREACH WORKER WHO WAS THERE AND IT'S BECAUSE OF
07:22 THE SUPPORT OF OUR VIEWERS AND ALL OF GOSPEL OUTREACH
07:26 THAT WE ARE ABLE TO HELP FUND THESE GOSPEL OUTREACH
07:28 WORKERS.
07:29 VERY WELL SAID, THANK YOU.
07:30 WELL AND THAT'S HOW GOD USES OUR GOSPEL OUTREACH
07:33 WORKERS.
07:33 THAT'S RIGHT.
07:35 WELL, I'D LIKE TO TELL YOU ABOUT JOEL.
07:39 HE IS ONE OF OUR GOSPEL OUTREACH WORKERS AND ONE
07:42 DAY HE WAS GOING HOME AND HE PASSED BY A RICKSHAW.
07:50 THE SUPER RICKSHAW, YOU'VE GOT TO LOVE THESE.
07:52 FIRST OF ALL, WE HAVE TO EXPLAIN THAT THEY GET MORE
07:55 RICKSHAW-MORE PEOPLE IN RICKSHAWS THAN YOU CAN
07:58 POSSIBLY EVEN THINK ABOUT.
08:00 SO, LET'S PAUSE HERE IF YOU'VE NEVER RIDDEN ONE OF
08:02 THESE IN YOUR LIFE YOU NEED -ITS ANYTHING LIKE
08:05 NOTHING ELSE THAT YOU'VE EVER EXPERIENCED.
08:07 THAT'S TRUE.
08:07 IT IS LIKE A ROLLER COASTER RIDE.
08:09 IT IS FUN.
08:10 IT IS.
08:11 YOU PRAY, LET ME TELL YOU.
08:12 YOU PRAY THAT IT DOESN'T TIP OVER.
08:15 YOU PRAY FOR MANY THINGS, RIGHT?
08:17 SO, JOEL-WE WANTED YOU TO SEE ANOTHER RICKSHAW WITH
08:20 A LOAD.
08:21 HERE THEY ARE.
08:23 JUST LOOK AT THIS LOAD.
08:25 ON TOP, I MEAN THE INSIDE WAS FULL SO YOU JUST CRAWL
08:29 ON TOP.
08:30 YES, WHY NOT?
08:30 ANOTHER RICKSHAW.
08:31 THIS IS NOT JUST ONE RICKSHAW IT IS ONE AFTER
08:34 ANOTHER.
08:35 THIS IS WHAT THEY ALL LOOK LIKE.
08:36 STILL ANYWAY, HE CAME UPON A SCENE WITH PEOPLE
08:40 SCREAMING AND YELLING AND THEY WERE ALL UNDERNEATH
08:43 THIS RICKSHAW IN THE DITCH.
08:45 SO, THEY HAD AN ACCIDENT, THEY WENT OVER.
08:48 THEY'D HAD AN ACCIDENT WELL, THEY PROBABLY DIDN'T
08:49 HAVE AN ACCIDENT AS WE THINK OF IT WHERE YOU HIT
08:52 SOMEBODY THEY ROLLED OVER AND THE RICKSHAW ON TOP OF
08:55 THEM.
08:56 THAT'S TRUE.
08:57 NOBODY WAS STOPPING TO HELP THEM.
08:59 I MIGHT SAY TOO HERE, MANY TIMES IN THE RAINY SEASON
09:03 IT IS VERY DIFFICULT AND IT IS DANGEROUS FOR THE
09:06 RIDING THERE, YES, BECAUSE AT NIGHT TIME THEY DON'T
09:09 USE THEIR LIGHTS, RIGHT, THEY GO IN THE DARK.
09:11 THEY'VE GOT TO SAVE THE BATTERY.
09:13 YES.
09:13 OR SAVE THEIR LIGHT.
09:14 THIS IS TRUE, I'VE BEEN IN SITUATIONS LIKE THIS.
09:16 SO, I CAN UNDERSTAND IN THE RAINY SEASON HOW THIS
09:19 COULD HAVE HAPPENED.
09:20 YES.
09:21 RIGHT.
09:21 BOOM.
09:22 SOMEBODY YOU DON'T KNOW.
09:23 SO, HE GETS IN THERE AND WITH ALL OF HIS STRENGTH
09:26 AND MIGHT AND OF COURSE, WITH THE LORD'S HELP HE
09:29 PUSHES THIS RICKSHAW UP OVER OFF OF THESE PEOPLE.
09:33 AND UNDERNEATH WERE 15 PEOPLE.
09:36 MORE?
09:37 FIFTEEN TOTAL.
09:38 FIFTEEN TOTAL.
09:39 OH MY.
09:40 SO, WHAT DOES HE DO HE STOPS OTHER PEOPLE, OTHER
09:43 RICKSHAWS AND TAKES THEM OFF TO THE GOVERNMENT
09:46 HOSPITAL TO SEE IF ANYTHING IS WRONG AND
09:50 PRAISE GOD MOST OF THEM WERE FINE JUST VERY, VERY
09:53 SCARED AND GUESS WHAT?
09:56 WHAT?
09:58 THESE PEOPLE CAME BACK TO THANK HIM AND NOT ONLY TO
10:01 THANK HIM BUT TO ASK HIM WHY WAS HE EVEN INTERESTED
10:05 IN HELPING THEM?
10:06 MOST PEOPLE WOULD HAVE JUST GONE BY.
10:07 AS MOST PEOPLE DID.
10:08 SO, TODAY HE HAS FIFTEEN PEOPLE, WOW, STUDYING WITH
10:17 HIM IN A NEW VILLAGE NOT FAR FROM HIS OWN AND THE
10:21 NEW VILLAGE IS CALLED JEERE.
10:23 JEERE.
10:23 IS THAT RIGHT, BEV?
10:25 JEERE.
10:26 INTERESTING.
10:27 AND THEY ARE JUST SO HAPPY TO HAVE FOUND NOT ONLY
10:33 JOEL, RIGHT, BUT TO HAVE FOUND JESUS AND THEY ARE
10:38 ALL STUDYING TO JOIN THE ADVENTIST CHURCH NOW.
10:41 AND ISN'T IT AMAZING AND IT ALL COMES BACK TO
10:44 SAYING THANK YOU.
10:45 THESE PEOPLE, YOU HAVE TO BLESS THEIR HEARTS, THEY
10:48 ARE GRATEFUL.
10:49 YES, THEY FELT COMPELLED TO GO AND SAY THANK YOU
10:52 JUST LIKE IN THE BIBLE THE LEPERS WHO ARE HEALED AND
10:56 IT WAS THE ONE THAT WENT BACK TO SAY THANK YOU.
10:58 HE'S THE ONE THAT HAD THE ENCOUNTER WITH JESUS.
11:01 YES, WHAT I REALLY FORGOT TO TELL YOU WAS THAT AFTER
11:04 HE HAD TAKEN ALL THESE PEOPLE OR SEEN TO IT THAT
11:08 THEY ALL WENT TO THE HOSPITAL, HE WENT AFTER
11:10 THEM TO THE HOSPITAL TO PRAY WITH EACH ONE.
11:12 WELL, SEE -WHAT ELSE CAN YOU DO?
11:14 WELL, AND HE HAD THE OPPORTUNITY.
11:16 WELL, I AM SO EXCITED BEV AND SHIRLEY, TO HEAR THESE
11:18 STORIES AND WE JUST HOPE THAT YOU WERE EXCITED AS
11:20 WELL TO HEAR THESE STORIES THAT ARE COMING FROM INDIA
11:23 FROM BEV AND SHIRLEY'S TERRITORY.
11:26 AND WE DO WANT TO SAY THANK YOU FOR PARTNERING
11:28 WITH US HERE AT GOSPEL OUTREACH BECAUSE WE ARE
11:30 DOING THIS TOGETHER AND IT IS THROUGH YOUR PRAYERS,
11:32 YOUR FINANCIAL SUPPORT AND YOUR ENCOURAGEMENT OF
11:35 GOSPEL OUTREACH AND THE GOSPEL OUTREACH WORKERS
11:38 THAT WE ARE SHARING JESUS IN THE 10/40 WINDOW.
11:40 I NEED TO SPREAD THE GOSPEL HERE AT HOME.
11:47 WHERE IS THE 10/40 WINDOW ANYWAY?
11:51 THOSE PEOPLE ARE TOO FAR AWAY.
11:54 SOMEONE ELSE CAN TELL THEM ABOUT JESUS.
11:56 MAYBE THEY COULD JUST WATCH TV?
12:00 NEARLY THREE BILLION PEOPLE TO REACH, MY HEAD
12:04 HURTS.
12:05 THERE'S NOTHING I CAN DO, I GIVE UP.
12:09 WHAT'S THE POINT OF TRYING?
12:11 I CAN'T MAKE A DIFFERENCE.
12:14 ACTUALLY, YOU CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE AND JESUS ASKED
12:19 YOU TO GO TO ALL THE WORLD.
12:23 WHERE?
12:23 ALL THE WORLD.
12:25 HOW CAN I GO I HAVE COMMITMENTS?
12:28 YOU CAN PRAY.
12:30 YOU CAN VOLUNTEER YOUR TALENTS.
12:33 YOU CAN TELL OTHERS.
12:35 YOU CAN GIVE MONEY TO SPONSOR BIBLE WORKERS.
12:38 MILLIONS OF PEOPLE ARE SEARCHING FOR HOPE AND
12:41 MEANING BUT THEY WON'T FIND IT WITHOUT YOU.
12:43 BE THE SPARK.
12:45 LIGHT THE FIRE.
12:48 FINISH THE WORK.
12:50 FINISH THE WORK.
12:52 BE THE SPARK.
12:55 AND WE ARE ALL SUPPOSED TO BE THE SPARK.
12:56 JESUS HAS CALLED EACH AND EVERY ONE OF US NO MATTER
12:59 WHERE WE LIVE IF IT IS IN THE 10/40 WINDOW OR
13:01 OUTSIDE THE 10/40 WINDOW TO BE SHARING JESUS AND WE
13:04 WANT TO ENCOURAGE YOU TO DO THAT AND AGAIN WE DO
13:06 SAY THANK YOU FOR VISITING US ON LINE, FACEBOOK AND
13:10 ON INSTAGRAM AND ALSO VISITING OUR WEBSITE WHICH
13:13 IS GOAIM.ORG.
13:15 WE'D CERTAINLY LOVE IT IF YOU WOULD ADOPT A GOSPEL
13:18 OUTREACH WORKER AND THAT WAY TOGETHER, WE ARE
13:21 SHARING JESUS.
13:22 THE ADOPT A WORKER PROGRAM IS REALLY NEAT.
13:24 YOU DO GET TO LEARN WHO YOUR GOSPEL OUTREACH
13:27 WORKER IS AND YOU DO HEAR REPORTS THROUGHOUT THE
13:30 YEAR OF WHAT THE LORD IS DOING THROUGH YOUR GOSPEL
13:32 OUTREACH WORKER.
13:33 SO THAT MIGHT BE SOMETHING THAT YOU MIGHT WANT TO
13:34 DO-GIVE THAT AS A BIRTHDAY GIFT OR CHRISTMAS GIFT OR
13:38 SOME OTHER GIFT TO SOMEONE THAT YOU KNOW AND LOVE AND
13:40 YOU CAN BE FOLLOWING THAT PERSON.
13:43 SO, TODAY WE ARE IN INDIA.
13:45 I LOVE SAYING INDIA WITH BEV AND SHIRLEY AND YOU
13:49 TWO LADIES ARE ON THE GO FOR JESUS IN INDIA AND
13:53 YOU'VE JUST BEEN SHARING A FANTASTIC STORY ABOUT
13:54 PRAYER AND HEALING AND I KNOW THAT YOU HAVE MORE.
13:58 AND I'M THINKING ABOUT SUGRAH, A PERSON WHO LIVED
14:01 IN A VILLAGE THAT HADN'T BEEN ENTERED BEFORE.
14:03 BASANT OUR GOSPEL OUTREACH WORKER WENT TO THIS
14:07 VILLAGE AND IT WAS A SARNA VILLAGE WE CALL IT WHICH
14:10 MEANS NATURE WORSHIPERS AND UM, MOST OF THE PEOPLE
14:15 IN THIS VILLAGE WERE SARNA.
14:17 THERE WAS ONE FAMILY THAT WAS NOT AND THAT WAS THIS
14:20 FAMILY THAT I'M GOING TO TELL YOU ABOUT.
14:22 THEY WERE SPIRIT WORSHIPERS.
14:24 THEY WERE WITCHCRAFT BELIEVERS.
14:26 THEY WERE INTO THE STUFF THAT MAKES ME SHUDDER.
14:30 YES.
14:31 UM ANYWAY, WHEN BASANT ARRIVED AND HE MET SUGRAH
14:37 THEY WENT THROUGH THE USUAL.
14:39 THE USUAL IS: WHO ARE YOU?
14:42 WHAT IS YOUR NAME?
14:43 WHAT ARE YOU HERE FOR?
14:44 BECAUSE THE VILLAGE IS USUALLY A FAMILY AND
14:48 EXTENDED FAMILY BUT EVERYBODY IS A LITTLE
14:52 LEARY OF WHO THE NEW PERSON IS AND SO THAT'S
14:54 KIND OF THEIR SECURITY SYSTEM.
14:56 YES.
14:57 WHICH IS GOOD.
14:58 SO, HE SAID I LIKE TO PRAY FOR THE SICK PEOPLE.
15:01 HE SAID, OH AT MY HOUSE WE HAVE SOMEONE SICK ALL THE
15:05 TIME AND HE SAID, CAN YOU COME WITH ME AND PRAY FOR
15:10 MY WIFE?
15:12 AND FOR MY CHILD WHO IS SICK NOW?
15:14 AND HE SAID, YES.
15:16 SO, HE WENT TO THE HOUSE AND HE PRAYED WITH THEM
15:19 AND THEN HE TOLD HIS WITNESS STORY AND THEN HE
15:22 TOLD A BIBLE STORY OF HOW GOD HEALED THE SICK PERSON
15:27 WHEN HE FINISHED SUGRAH INVITED HIM TO COME BACK
15:32 AGAIN.
15:33 COME AND TELL US MORE STORIES.
15:35 YES, THIS IS GOOD NEWS.
15:36 WHY WOULD YOU TURN THIS GUY AWAY?
15:37 RIGHT.
15:38 HE IS A GOOD VISITOR AND LET HIMCOME.
15:40 THESE ARE GOOD STORIES.
15:41 WELL, HE CAME BACK BUT SUGRAH HAD TAKEN OFF TO DO
15:46 FARM LABOR IN A NEIGHBORING STATE AND THIS
15:50 IS A VERY COMMON THING THAT HAPPENS WHEN IT IS
15:53 PLANTING SEASON OR IT IS HARVESTING SEASON THE FARM
15:57 LABORERS WILL BE ROUNDED UP AND TAKEN TO ANOTHER
15:59 PLACE TO DO SOME WORK.
16:01 WELL, THE WIFE REMEMBERED HIM AND THE CHILDREN
16:05 REMEMBERED HIS STORIES AND SO THEY GATHERED AROUND
16:08 AND THEY WANTED MORE STORIES.
16:11 WELL SURE.
16:12 HE GAVE STORIES TO THEM AND WHEN HE FINISHED, HE
16:14 SAID, WELL YOU DO HAVE A CONTACT NUMBER I CAN CALL
16:17 YOUR HUSBAND AND WE COULD TALK WITH HIM ON THE
16:20 PHONE?
16:21 AND SHE GAVE HIM HIS -THE PHONE NUMBER TO BASANT AND
16:25 WHEN HE CONTACTED HIM, HE FOUND OUT THAT HE REALLY
16:29 WAS INTERESTED IN THE CHRISTIAN GOD.
16:35 HE STARTED GIVING HIM MESSAGES OF GOD'S LOVE AND
16:39 HOW GOD TAKES CARE OF US AND THE PEACE THAT CAN
16:43 COME BY BELIEVING IN HIM.
16:47 AND WHEN HE CAME BACK HOME HE WAS AT THE SAME PLACE
16:50 WHERE HIS WIFE AND CHILDREN WERE AND WANTING
16:53 TO ACCEPT JESUS BUT HE WAS THE FATHER OF THE
16:58 HOUSEHOLD THAT WAS THE ONLY ONE THAT WERE NOT
17:01 SARNA AND THIS MEANT THE SARNAS DID NOT WANT ANYONE
17:07 -NO CHRISTIANITY IN THIS VILLAGE.
17:09 THERE IS A POINT HERE THAT I LIKE TO MAKE CLEAR TOO,
17:13 BECAUSE THE PRIESTS IN THE HINDU FAITH OR IN THE
17:18 SARNA FAITH THEY ARE EXPECTED THAT WHEN
17:22 SOMEBODY COMES AND ASKS THEM TO PRAY FOR THEM THAT
17:24 THEY WILL HAVE A GIFT FOR THEM.
17:25 OH.
17:26 AND SO, THIS -IT WILL COST YOU SO MUCH FOR ME TO PRAY
17:30 FOR YOU.
17:31 AH, THERE IS ALWAYS THE HOOK.
17:32 UH HUH.
17:33 OH, OK.
17:34 SO, IF THEY LEAVE THE FAITH, YES, THEN THE
17:38 PRIESTS DON'T GET SO MUCH MONEY.
17:40 OH, SO THAT'S WHY OBVIOUSLY THEY WANT TO
17:42 HAVE -MAKE SURE EVERYBODY IS OF THE SAME BELIEF.
17:44 RIGHT.
17:45 OK.
17:46 BUT THIS FAMILY SAID WE WANT TO STUDY MORE AND WE
17:49 WANT TO ACCEPT THIS FAITH.
17:52 AFTER ALL, OUR SARNA PEOPLE AND WITCHCRAFT
17:57 PEOPLE-NOBODY COULD HELP US BEFORE WHEN OUR
18:00 CHILDREN WERE SICK.
18:00 NOBODY WAS WILLING TO HELP US.
18:02 BUT THIS GUY SHOWS UP AND HIS GOD HELPED US.
18:05 THAT'S RIGHT.
18:06 THAT'S EXACTLY THEIR FEELING AND NOT ONLY THAT
18:08 WE HAVEN'T BEEN SICK SINCE WE STARTED TO LISTEN TO
18:12 HIM.
18:12 WOW.
18:13 AND SO, WE WANT TO-WE ARE GOING TO BE STRONG FOR
18:16 THIS NEW GOD AND SO THEY ARE STUDYING TO BECOME
18:20 BAPTIZED.
18:21 WOW.
18:22 BUT THIS IS A HUGE THING, I MEAN YOU MENTION ABOUT
18:24 HOW EVERYBODY KNOWS WHO IS COMING INTO THE VILLAGE
18:27 BUT TO DO SOMETHING DIFFERENT FROM EVERYBODY
18:30 ELSE IN THE SITUATION LIKE THAT AND YES, WE WANT TO
18:34 BE UNIQUE AND YES, WE NEED TO FOLLOW OUR BELIEFS BUT
18:36 THIS IS ENTRENCHED AND THIS IS WHAT WE SEE IN THE
18:39 10/40 WINDOW COUNTRY TO COUNTRY TO COUNTRY.
18:42 YES.
18:44 IT TAKES FAITH ON THE PART OF THE GOSPEL OUTREACH
18:47 WORKER, YES, AND THAT'S WHY ITS SO IMPORTANT TO
18:51 PRAY FOR THEM.
18:52 WELL, AND THAT'S WHY TO HAVE THE GOSPEL OUTREACH
18:54 WORKER VERSUS US GO ITS YOU KNOW, RIGHT, IT IS
18:58 BETTER.
18:58 SO, WHAT'S THIS PHOTO OF BEV?
19:00 THIS IS THE ENDING OF THE STORY.
19:02 THIS IS HOW MANY PEOPLE HAVE GOTTEN BAPTIZED
19:05 BECAUSE OF THAT EXPERIENCE.
19:07 REALLY?
19:07 IN THE VILLAGE.
19:08 THEY ARE HOLDING THEIR BAPTISMAL CERTIFICATES.
19:11 AND I LOVE THE COLORFUL WOMEN IN THEIR SARIS.
19:13 AREN'T THEY BEAUTIFUL?
19:14 LOOK AT EACH ONE.
19:15 YOU KNOW, WE DON'T-I DON'T KNOW EACH ONE OF THESE
19:17 PEOPLE, I DON'T KNOW THEIR NAMES BUT THAT IS EACH
19:20 PERSON WHO HAS ACCEPTED JESUS, YES, IN THIS
19:23 VILLAGE AND SUGRAH HAS SOME OLDER CHILDREN SO
19:25 THEY WERE BAPTIZED IN THAT GROUP TOO.
19:26 THAT'S FANTASTIC.
19:27 WELL PRAISE THE LORD.
19:28 I LOVE TO HEAR THESE STORIES.
19:30 WELL, I WANT TO TELL YOU ABOUT PUNAM.
19:33 SHE AND HER HUSBAND HAD JUST COME TO A VILLAGE
19:36 NEAR WHERE A GOSPEL OUTREACH WORKER NAMED MUSO
19:41 LIVED.
19:42 AND THEY HAD COME THERE AND APPARENTLY HER HUSBAND
19:45 HAD SOME REAL PROBLEMS WITH DRINKING ALCOHOL.
19:49 SHE WAS A GOVERNMENT TEACHER IN A GOVERNMENT
19:52 SCHOOL AND IT WAS SO BAD THAT HER HUSBAND HAD USED
19:57 UP ALL THEIR MONEY, UH OH, BECAUSE OF HIS HABIT.
20:00 THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON THREAD WHEN THE WIFE IS
20:04 WORKING AND DOING -GETTING A GOOD INCOME BECAUSE
20:07 TEACHERS IN THE GOVERNMENT SCHOOL DO GET A GOOD
20:10 INCOME.
20:11 GOOD.
20:12 YES.
20:13 BUT THE HUSBAND DOES NOTHING AND SO HE GETS
20:15 BORED OR HE GETS DEPRESSED AND SO HE GOES TO ALCOHOL.
20:17 JOIN THE FRIENDS DOWN WHEREVER -RIGHT, AN OLD
20:20 STORY.
20:21 AND SHE HAD JUST COME TO WITS END AND APPARENTLY,
20:24 SHE WAS TALKING TO SOMEBODY AT THE SCHOOL AND
20:28 THIS PERSON NEW MUSO AND THEY TOLD HER ABOUT MUSO.
20:33 THEY TOLD HER THAT IF MUSO PRAYED GOD HEALED.
20:38 WOW.
20:39 AND SHE SAID, I WANT TO FIND MUSO.
20:44 WHERE WILL I FIND MUSO?
20:45 AND THEY SAID, WELL AT THE SEVENTH DAY ADVENTIST
20:49 CHURCH.
20:51 SO, SHE WENT LOOKING FOR HIM ONE SABBATH AND SHE
20:54 FOUND HIM AND SHE TOLD HIM ABOUT HER PROBLEM.
20:58 WELL, MUSO, BLESS HIS HEART, WENT TO HER HOME
21:02 AND PRAYED FOR HER AND HER HUSBAND.
21:05 HE COUNSELED WITH THEM.
21:07 HE COUNSELED WITH HER AND BY AND BY HER HUSBAND
21:12 STOPPED DRINKING.
21:13 GOOD.
21:13 HER HUSBAND STARTED TO HELP HER.
21:16 WOW.
21:17 AND NOW THAT IS UNUSUAL, YES, FOR INDIAN MEN, IN
21:20 THIS CULTURE AS WELL, AND THAT CULTURE AND TODAY
21:22 THEY TOO ARE STUDYING AND WANTING TO KNOW ABOUT THIS
21:30 JESUS WHO GIVES PEACE AND HAPPINESS.
21:33 NOT JUST PEACE BUT HAPPINESS BECAUSE WE KNOW
21:37 THAT GOD GIVES HAPPINESS.
21:39 TRUE HAPPINESS COMES FROM JESUS.
21:41 ABSOLUTELY.
21:42 AND THE JOY OF JESUS IN EVERYDAY LIFE BECAUSE WE
21:43 CAN HAVE THE JOY OF JESUS IN EVERYDAY LIFE.
21:47 BUT YOU KNOW, SHIRLEY THAT'S FAITH.
21:49 THE WOMAN HAD FAITH IN JESUS WHEN SHE FIRST HEARD
21:53 THAT THIS MAN COULD PRAY FOR HER HUSBAND.
21:56 THAT'S WHAT -WHEN SHE HEARD IF HE PRAYS, YES IF
22:00 HE COMES TO MY HOUSE AND PRAYS FOR MY HUSBAND AND
22:03 WOW.
22:04 FANTASTIC.
22:07 THIS IS MUSO IS STUDYING WITH NAN'S HUSBAND.
22:11 VERY GOOD.
22:12 VERY GOOD.
22:13 I WANTED TO TELL YOU ABOUT MASCALON OUR GOSPEL
22:17 OUTREACH WORKER WHO WENT TO A NEW VILLAGE AGAIN AND
22:20 WHO ARE YOU AND WHAT ARE YOU DOING?
22:21 AND THE INQUISITION?
22:24 YES.
22:25 AND HE MET SALIM WHO IS THE ELDERLY MAN HERE AND
22:32 HE SAID, OH, I HAVE A CHILD AT MY HOUSE WHO IS
22:37 VERY SICK RIGHT NOW.
22:38 I THINK IT IS MALARIA.
22:39 OH OH.
22:40 WILL YOU COME AND PRAY FOR HIM?
22:41 AND SO, HE WENT AND PRAYED FOR HIM AND HE STAYED
22:45 THERE AND ANSWERED QUESTIONS AND TALKED BACK
22:48 AND FORTH AND UH, HE WAS THERE TWO OR THREE HOURS
22:53 AND MUSCALON STARTED THINKING -MAYBE I HAVE
22:57 SOME MALARIA INJECTION AT MY HOUSE.
22:59 SO, HE WENT HOME AND HE FOUND HIS MALARIA
23:03 INJECTION AND HE BROUGHT ONE EVERY DAY FOR THREE
23:06 DAYS BACK TO SALIM'S CHILD AND GAVE THE CHILD AN
23:10 INJECTION.
23:11 YOU KNOW, MAYBE THE GOVERNMENT DOESN'T ALWAYS
23:13 APPROVE OF ANYONE GIVING AN INJECTION BUT IT IS
23:16 FREELY AVAILABLE THERE.
23:18 REALLY.
23:18 YES.
23:19 OK.
23:20 AND SO, ANYONE WHO CAN GIVE ONE IS FINE.
23:24 EVERY DAY FOR THREE DAYS HE TOOK AN INJECTION FOR
23:28 THIS CHILD AND THE CHILD GOT BETTER SO WE KNOW THAT
23:31 THIS INJECTION HAD TO DO WITH MALARIA.
23:35 WITH THAT WHAT A MIRACLE.
23:37 YES.
23:38 THE BIBLE YOU JUST READ, THE STORIES, HE WILL HEAL
23:42 US OF OUR DISEASES, YES, JEREMIAH 30:17 "BUT I WILL
23:46 RESTORE YOU TO HEALTH AND HEAL YOUR WOUNDS."
23:48 IMAGINE.
23:49 AND SO, THESE WERE CLAIMED AND NOW THIS FAMILY ARE
23:53 STUDYING GOD'S WORD.
23:55 YES.
23:56 BECAUSE TO SEE, TO HAVE THAT MUSTARD SEED OF FAITH
24:00 THAT JESUS TALKS ABOUT AND TO HAVE THESE PEOPLE WHO,
24:03 YOU KNOW, WE DON'T KNOW THEIR STORY, WE DON'T KNOW
24:06 YOU KNOW ALL OF THEIR HISTORY BUT FOR THEM TO
24:09 LOCK ON TO THE JOY OF JESUS AND THE HEALING
24:11 POWER.
24:12 THAT REMINDS ME PART OF THE STORY THAT MASCALON
24:14 TOLD AND I HAD FORGOTTEN AND LEFT IT OUT AND THAT
24:17 WAS WHEN HE TOOK THE INJECTION, YES, TO THE
24:20 CHILD HE SAID, I CANNOT HEAL HIM IT IS,YES, YOUR
24:25 BELIEF IN GOD, YES, AND GOD IS THE ONE WHO HEALS.
24:28 YES.
24:29 AND SO, HE IS GIVING GLORY TO GOD.
24:32 YES.
24:33 AND WELL WE SEE THAT IN THE BIBLE WITH THE
24:35 DISCIPLES, YOU KNOW AFTER JESUS WENT TO HEAVEN AND
24:39 THEY SAID, IT IS NOT ME.
24:41 YES.
24:41 IT IS JESUS.
24:42 AH, THESE ARE WONDERFUL STORIES.
24:44 YES.
24:45 AND THE FACT THAT GOD IS STILL DOING THESE STORIES.
24:47 YOU KNOW SOMETIMES WE READ THE STORIES OF HEALING IN
24:50 THE BIBLE AND WE THINK OH WELL, THAT WAS IN JESUS
24:52 TIME BUT JESUS IS STILL DOING THIS AND NOT JUST IN
24:57 THE 10/40 WINDOW, THAT'S RIGHT, BUT WITH SO MANY
24:58 PEOPLE.
24:59 AND HE IS ALSO PROTECTING OUR WORKERS.
25:01 I REMEMBER BIRJERAM HE HAD GONE TO A VILLAGE THAT WAS
25:07 ALL SARNA AND THE PRIEST WAS GETTING UNHAPPY
25:13 BECAUSE HE WAS LOSING SOME OF HIS MONEY THAT WE
25:16 TALKED ABOUT A LITTLE BIT BEFORE, YES, AND WHEN THIS
25:19 HAPPENED, HE SORT OF EGGED ON THE YOUTH AND BANDED
25:24 THEM TOGETHER AND SAID, LET'S GO FORCE THE
25:26 CHRISTIANS TO COME BACK SARNA.
25:28 AND THEY WERE ARMED AND-THEY WERE?
25:31 IT WAS THIS INTENSE.
25:35 YES.THEY MADE A LOT OF NOISE GOING DOWN THE
25:37 STREET AND PEOPLE OF COURSE, WHEN THERE IS
25:39 NOISE PEOPLE GATHER OUT TO SEE WHAT IS HAPPENING AND
25:43 BIRJERAM WAS WITH THEM AND THEY CAME AND FOUND THESE
25:47 CHRISTIANS AND THEY SAID, AH YOU'VE GOT TO BECOME
25:51 SARNA AGAIN OR ELSE WE ARE GOING TO KILL YOU.
25:53 OH, OH.
25:54 AND THEY SAID, OK, THEY WERE SO SCARED THEY JUST
25:57 MELTED AND SAID WE'LL BECOME SARNA AND IT WAS
26:03 DISAPPOINTING BUT THEN THEY SAID, WHO TAUGHT YOU
26:07 THIS FROM THEIR HOLY BOOK?
26:09 WHO TAUGHT YOU FROM THE CHRISTIAN HOLY BOOK?
26:12 OH, THEY WERE DEMANDING AN ANSWER.
26:13 YES.
26:14 WHO DID IT?
26:14 WHO IS THE ONE WHO TAUGHT YOU THIS?
26:15 NOW BIRJIRAM WAS IN THAT GROUP BUT NOBODY SAID A
26:20 WORD.
26:22 THEY WERE SILENT AND THEY KEPT AWAY FROM SAYING
26:24 ANYTHING ABOUT THIS AND GOD SAVED BIRJIRAM RIGHT
26:29 THERE.
26:30 WELL THAT-I'M GLAD YOU MENTIONED THAT BEV,
26:32 BECAUSE WE HAVE -YES, WE HEAR STORIES BUT UNTIL WE
26:35 GET TO HEAVEN, WE WON'T KNOW EXACTLY ALL OF THE
26:38 STORIES OF THE GOSPEL OUTREACH WORKERS WHOSE
26:40 SAFETY HAS BEEN PROTECTED BECAUSE OF JESUS.
26:43 RIGHT.
26:43 WE NEED TO BE PRAYING FOR THAT.
26:45 WELL, THANK YOU TO BOTH OF YOU FOR SHARING WITH US
26:47 THESE STORIES AND NEEDS QUICKLY AS WE CLOSE?
26:51 OF COURSE, THERE IS ALWAYS PRAYER AND WE NEED MORE
26:54 GOSPEL OUTREACH WORKERS SO IT DOES TAKE MORE MONEY
26:56 BUT WE NEED AN INFILLING OF THE HOLY SPIRIT IN OUR
26:59 LIVES AND IN THEIR LIVES AND IN THE LIVES OF THE
27:01 PEOPLE THAT HEAR.
27:03 AND THE BELIEF TO KNOW THAT JESUS WILL HEAL.
27:06 AMEN.
27:07 YES.
27:08 WELL BEV, SHIRLEY THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR BEING HERE
27:09 WITH US AND MAY THE LORD CONTINUE TO PROTECT YOU AS
27:12 YOU GO AND MEET WITH THE GOSPEL OUTREACH WORKERS
27:13 AND ON BEHALF OF "ADVENTURES IN MISSIONS"
27:15 AND GOSPEL OUTREACH, WE WANT TO SAY THANK YOU AND
27:18 WE HOPE AND PRAY THAT YOU KNOW THE JOY OF JESUS
27:21 BECAUSE HE IS THE ONE THAT HEALS US OF ALL OF OUR
27:24 WOUNDS.
27:25 MAY THE LORD BLESS YOU TODAY.
