00:34 TODAY MY SPECIAL GUEST IS JIM REYNOLDS.
00:38 NOW, JIM REYNOLDS IS A GOOD FRIEND BUT HE IS
00:41 ESPECIALLY A GOOD FRIEND BECAUSE OF THE WAY HIS
00:46 ORGANIZATION "ULTIMATE MISSION" AND GOSPEL
00:48 OUTREACH HAVE DECIDED TO WORK TOGETHER.
00:51 YOU'LL LEARN ABOUT THAT TODAY.
00:53 JIM, WELCOME TO GOSPEL OUTREACH.
00:55 AH, THANK YOU MY FRIEND.
00:56 NOW, THIS IS A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT THIS TIME
00:59 BECAUSE WE'RE IN OCTOBER OF 2020.
01:02 A LOT OF WEIRD THINGS HAVE BEEN HAPPENING THIS YEAR
01:04 BUT THEN THERE IS ONE REALLY WONDERFUL THING
01:07 THAT HAS BEEN HAPPENING.
01:08 TELL ME ABOUT THAT.
01:09 OH YES, IN THE MIDST OF ALL THE CRAZINESS GOD IS
01:11 STILL WORKING.
01:12 SO, WE HAVE COME INTO -SO WE'RE A FULL PARTNER WITH
01:15 GOSPEL OUTREACH NOW.
01:17 BUT YOU STARTED AS A TRAINER FOR GOSPEL
01:20 OUTREACH EMPLOYEES.
01:21 WE STARTED AS A TRAINER BUT YOU KNOW GOSPEL
01:23 OUTREACH DIDN'T EVEN KNOW THAT AT THE TIME.
01:25 WE'D BEEN ASKED BY ASIAN AID BECAUSE THEY'D BEEN
01:28 -HAD A REQUEST TO TRAIN GOSPEL OUTREACH WORKERS.
01:31 OK.
01:32 AND SO, WE WENT TO INDIA WITH A MEDICAL TEAM AND WE
01:34 TRAINED GOSPEL OUTREACH WORKERS TO DO MEDICAL
01:35 MISSIONARY WORK AND SO THIS IS WHAT WHERE WE
01:38 REALLY APPRECIATE GOSPEL OUTREACH BECAUSE THE WHOLE
01:41 THE IDEA OF WHAT WE DO WAS -COMES FROM THAT TRAINING.
01:45 SO, WE TRAIN THESE MEN TO DO MEDICAL MISSIONARY WORK
01:48 AND WE GAVE THEM A BOOK CALLED WHERE THERE IS NO
01:50 DOCTOR.
01:51 NOW SOME OF THESE MEN TOOK THAT BOOK HOME TO THEIR
01:53 WIVES AND THEIR WIVES READ IT AND THEIR WIVES STARTED
01:56 DOING MEDICAL MISSIONARY WORK ON THEIR OWN AND ONE
01:59 TIME A PASTOR AND HIS WIFE WAS COMING HOME FROM
02:02 SOMEWHERE AND THERE WAS A GROUP OF PEOPLE STANDING
02:05 OFF TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND THEY PULLED OVER
02:06 TO SEE WHAT WAS GOING ON AND WHAT HAPPENED WAS
02:09 THERE WAS A LADY IN THE MIDDLE OF THAT GROUP IN
02:11 LABOR.
02:12 NOBODY KNEW WHAT TO DO.
02:13 EVERYBODY FREAKING OUT.
02:14 SO, THE GOSPEL OUTREACH WORKER WIFE TAKES THAT
02:17 LADY OFF TO THE SIDE AND PUTS SOME WOMEN AROUND HER
02:20 TO GIVE HER SOME PRIVACY AND IN THE MUD AND THE
02:23 DIRT AND THE RAIN, DELIVERED A BABY THAT SHE
02:25 LEARNED HOW TO DO FROM READING THE BOOK WHERE
02:27 THERE IS NO DOCTOR .
02:29 SO, YOU TRAINED THE WRONG PERSON IN THAT FAMILY.
02:32 WE TRAINED THE WRONG PERSON AND WHAT WAS NEAT
02:35 WAS TWO WEEKS LATER THE GOSPEL OUTREACH WORKER AND
02:38 HIS WIFE GO BACK AND HE TALKS TO-THEY TALK TO THE
02:41 FAMILY AND START DOING BIBLE STUDIES.
02:43 AND THEN A HOME CHURCH STARTS THERE.
02:45 AND SO, WE HEAR THIS STORY AND THAT'S WHAT WE
02:48 THOUGHT.
02:49 WE'RE TRAINING THE WRONG PEOPLE AND SO KIND OF OFF
02:51 THAT AND A FEW OTHER THINGS THE WHOLE IDEA FOR
02:54 WHAT WE ARE DOING AS "ULTIMATE MISSION" IN
02:56 INDIA CAME TO FRUITION.
02:57 OK.
02:58 SO, I'M GOING TO STOP YOU AND SAY, WHAT ARE YOU
03:01 DOING?
03:02 SO, WHAT WE DO IS WE TAKE MEDICAL TEAMS TO INDIA AND
03:05 WE TRAIN GOSPEL OUTREACH WORKER WIVES TO DO PUBLIC,
03:08 BASIC PUBLIC HEALTH WORK.
03:09 SO, WE'LL TEACH THEM HOW TO DO FIRST AID; CLEAN
03:13 WATER SAFETY; NUTRITION BASICALLY THE EIGHT LAWS
03:15 OF HEALTH AND BASICALLY THE ADVENTIST MESSAGE AND
03:19 SO IT'S A HUGE BENEFIT TO HAVE THE HUSBAND-AND-WIFE
03:24 WORK TOGETHER IN SUCH A PLACE WHERE MAN, THEY NEED
03:27 THE HEALTH YOU KNOW, HEALTH SO BADLY THERE.
03:29 NOW LET ME LOOK AT IT IN A DIFFERENT DIRECTION.
03:33 WHEN GOSPEL OUTREACH HIRES AND TRAINS A GOSPEL
03:36 OUTREACH WORKER, IT IS USUALLY A MAN WHO SERVES
03:40 AS A PASTOR, BIBLE TEACHER, BIBLE STUDY
03:42 LEADER, UH HUH, AND GOSPEL OUTREACH PAYS THEM A
03:45 STIPEND THAT IS SORT OF A LIVING WAGE.
03:48 YES.
03:49 IT IS AN EXISTING WAGE.
03:50 UH HUH.
03:51 OK.
03:52 THEN YOU COME ALONG AND YOU TRAIN THE WIFE AND
03:56 EVEN THOUGH THE WIFE AH, MAY HAVE ADVANCED
03:58 EDUCATION BECAUSE SHE IS THE WIFE OF THE ADVENTIST
04:04 PASTOR NOW THE LOCAL DISTRICT SAYS WE REALLY
04:07 WANT YOU JUST TO BE A PASTOR'S WIFE.
04:09 YES.
04:10 RIGHT.
04:11 AND SO, SHE CAN'T GET ANY INCOME FROM WORK.
04:14 RIGHT.
04:15 BUT YOU CHANGED THAT.
04:16 WELL YES, BECAUSE THEY -SHE CAN TAKE MONEY FROM
04:18 US AND WE PAY THEM A STIPEND AND THAT'S OK IN
04:21 THAT SYSTEM IN INDIA AND SO YES, NOW THEY HAVE SOME
04:25 MONEY WHICH IS AN AMAZING THING TOO, BECAUSE WHAT IT
04:28 DOES FOR WOMEN, WHAT IT DOES FOR THEIR BEING
04:32 TREATED WITH RESPECT.
04:34 UH HUH.
04:35 THERE IS A STORY WHERE A WOMAN IS MARRIED TO A MAN
04:37 IN INDIA AND THE MOTHER-IN-LAW WILL NOT LET
04:40 HER INTO THE HOUSE BECAUSE SHE DOESN'T HAVE A JOB.
04:44 SHE ISN'T PAYING FOR ANYTHING.
04:45 BUT THIS WOMAN GETS A JOB AND BUYS HER SON A BIKE.
04:49 NOW, ALL OF A SUDDEN, THE MOTHER-IN-LAW IS LETTING
04:51 HER INTO THE HOME.
04:52 YES.
04:53 BECAUSE NOW SHE'S CONTRIBUTING TO THE
04:55 FAMILY.
04:55 SHE'S AN IMPORTANT PART OF THIS.
04:57 YES.
04:58 SO, WHAT IT DOES WHEN YOU ASK WOMEN OVER THERE, YOU
05:00 SAY, WHAT ARE-HOW ARE PEOPLE TREATING YOU NOW
05:02 THAT YOU ARE A HEALTH WORKER AND THEIR FACES
05:04 JUST LIGHT UP.
05:05 JUST LIGHT UP BECAUSE THEY ARE TREATED WITH RESPECT.
05:08 THEY ARE TREATED WITH DIGNITY AND IT JUST MAKES
05:11 THEIR LIFE COMPLETELY DIFFERENT.
05:12 YOU GAVE ME AN ILLUSTRATION ONE TIME OF
05:15 WOMEN THAT YOU WOULD MEET WHO WERE THE PASTORS WIVES
05:18 AND WHEN YOU WOULD MEET THEM, THEY WOULD KIND OF
05:20 LOOK DOWN AND BOW AND THEY WERE VERY QUIET.
05:23 UH HUH.
05:24 UNASSUMING IN THE BACKGROUND.
05:26 UH HUH.
05:27 AND NOW THAT THEY HAVE BEEN TRAINED AS A HEALTH
05:29 WORKER FOR THE VILLAGE WHAT DO THEY LOOK LIKE?
05:31 WELL, IT TAKES ABOUT A YEAR BUT ONCE YOU GO BACK
05:34 AFTER A YEAR AND AFTER TWO YEARS, THESE WOMEN HAVE
05:36 CONFIDENCE, THESE WOMEN WILL LOOK YOU IN THE EYES
05:39 WHEN YOU ASK THEM A QUESTION THEY ANSWER.
05:41 BEFORE, THEY WERE SO TIMID THEY DIDN'T EVEN REALLY
05:43 WANT TO ANSWER THE QUESTIONS.
05:44 THEY DIDN'T WANT TO STAND OUT BUT NOW THEY ARE RIGHT
05:47 THERE UP FRONT READY TO SAY SOMETHING, READY TO
05:49 GIVE YOU ADVICE ON HOW THINGS SHOULD BE DONE AND
05:52 ITS JUST A COMPLETE TURNAROUND.
05:54 IT IS JUST AMAZING.
05:56 ONE OF THE THINGS I'VE NOTICED IN GOING TO A
05:58 VILLAGE WHERE THERE IS A "ULTIMATE MISSION" WIFE
06:03 AND A GOSPEL OUTREACH WORKER HUSBAND IS THAT THE
06:07 WOMEN CAN GET INTO ANY VILLAGE HOUSE.
06:10 YES.
06:12 BECAUSE THEY'VE ALREADY BEEN THERE BECAUSE THEY
06:13 TYPICALLY WILL WALK FROM DOOR TO DOOR AND ASK, IS
06:16 THERE ANYTHING I CAN DO TO HELP YOU?
06:17 YES.
06:18 AND YOU'VE TAUGHT THEM "IS THERE ANYTHING I CAN DO TO
06:22 HELP YOU"?
06:23 AND THEN IF THE PEOPLE SAY NO, WELL I CAN I HELP
06:26 CLEAN THE DIRT IN FRONT OF YOUR HOUSE AND THEY PICK
06:28 UP A LEAF, PALM BRANCH, AND THEY BEGINNING
06:32 CLEANING OFF THE DUST AND THE PEOPLE JUST SAY, WHY
06:34 ARE YOU DOING THIS FOR ME?
06:36 YES, THEY DON'T -THEY ARE THERE JUST TO HELP.
06:38 THEY'RE JUST THERE TO LOVE THEM.
06:39 IF YOU CAN PICTURE A GOSPEL OUTREACH WORKER
06:42 WALKING INTO THE HOUSE OF A MUSLIM WITH A BIBLE IN
06:46 HIS HAND-IT'S JUST DOESN'T-IT'S HARD TO DO.
06:49 THERES A TENSION THERE.
06:50 THERE IS A TENSION THERE BUT WHEN THE WIFE COMES IN
06:53 WITH A STETHESCOPE AROUND HER NECK AND HER BAG OF
06:56 ALL HER GOODIES THAT SHE BRINGS TO HELP THE FAMILY,
06:58 IT'S JUST-THAT'S THEY CAN GET INTO THAT HOME, THEY
07:01 CAN GET INTO EVERY HOME IN THE VILLAGE AND IT'S THE
07:03 ENTERING WEDGE AND IT TRULY IS THE WAY TO FIND
07:07 -TO GET INTO THE HEART.
07:08 AND REALLY, THAT'S WHAT WE ARE TRYING TO DO.
07:10 WE'RE TRYING TO REACH PEOPLE'S HEART AND WE'RE
07:12 TRYING TO SHOW JESUS THROUGH OUR ACTIONS AND
07:14 SO, BY THE HEALTH MESSAGE THERE IS A REASON WE WERE
07:17 GIVEN THE HEALTH MESSAGE.
07:18 IT IS BECAUSE IT WORKS.
07:19 ALRIGHT, I WANT TO TAKE YOU TO A VILLAGE IN INDIA
07:24 WHERE I GOT TO WALK DOWN THE STREET, TAKE A
07:27 RIGHT-HAND TURN INTO THE SEVENTH DAY ADVENTIST
07:29 CHURCH COMPOUND AND I WANT YOU TO MEET AN "ULTIMATE
07:32 MISSION" GOSPEL OUTREACH TEAM THAT IS REALLY
07:36 TRANSFORMING THIS VILLAGE.
07:39 HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN MARRIED?
07:41 TEN YEARS.
07:41 TEN YEARS, YES.
07:43 AND YOU HAVE BEEN A GOSPEL OUTREACH WORKER HOW LONG?
07:52 THIRTEEN YEARS.
07:55 EXPLAIN TO ME WHAT YOU DO EVERY DAY?
07:57 ONE OF MY VISITS IN THE MORNING IS TO THE HOME OF
08:06 THE OLD LADY.
08:07 I HELP HER WITH HER MEDICAL PROBLEMS.
08:10 DO YOU GO TOGETHER?
08:10 YES.
08:12 YOU GO AS A TEAM.
08:13 YES.
08:14 AND THEY LET HIM IN?
08:15 YES.
08:16 REALLY?
08:17 YES.
08:18 DO THEY REALLY LIKE TO HAVE BOTH OF YOU COME?
08:19 YES.
08:20 DO THEY SIT AND TALK FOR QUITE A WHILE?
08:22 YES.
08:23 YOU TALK ABOUT EVERYTHING WITH THEM.
08:26 EVERYTHING.
08:27 YES.
08:28 ABOUT THEIR FAMILY, THEIR CHILDREN.
08:31 IN THE AFTERNOON, I GO BACK TO VISIT MORE PEOPLE
08:34 IN THE VILLAGE TO HELP THEM WITH THEIR MEDICAL
08:36 ISSUES.
08:38 PEOPLE WORK HARD IN THE FIELD AND WHEN THEY RETURN
08:42 FROM THEIR HARD WORK, THEY WILL OFTEN COME WITH BODY
08:46 ACHES AND PAINS AS WELL AS HEADACHES.
08:49 WHAT DO YOU CARRY WITH YOU TO THE HOUSES?
08:52 OH OK.
08:58 SO, THIS IS BLOOD PRESSURE.
08:59 OK, SO YOU'LL GET MY BLOOD PRESSURE YES, YOU'LL
09:02 LISTEN TO MY HEART.
09:03 YES.OK.
09:06 WHAT ELSE?
09:10 YOU'LL TAKE MY TEMPERATURE.
09:11 YES.
09:12 BETADINE LOTION.
09:14 I THINK THAT IS PROBABLY PRETTY GOOD.
09:16 SO, WHEN I CAME -WHEN I HIT MY HEAD HARD YOU PUT
09:22 SOME BETADINE LOTION ON THERE.
09:25 BUT MY HEAD ACHES, I HURT.
09:29 I CAN GIVE YOU SOME TABLETS FOR PAIN.
09:31 SO, YOU HAVE BASIC HEALTH, YES, FOR ANYONE.
09:34 YES.
09:35 I SEE THAT YOU HAVE PLASTIC GLOVES.
09:37 FOR DOING DRESSING BECAUSE -OK.
09:39 WHAT ELSE?
09:40 I HAVE MASK ALSO.
09:43 YOU HAVE A MASK FOR THEM AND FOR YOU.
09:45 THAT IS FOR TUBERCULOSIS CASES.
09:48 DO YOU HAVE TUBERCULOSIS CASES?
09:50 YES.
09:50 AND WHAT ELSE?
09:52 WE HAVE BANDAGES.
09:55 AND BANDAGES.
09:56 CLEANING WOUNDS AND COVERING THE WOUND.
10:01 AND WHERE IS YOUR BOOK?
10:03 NOW THAT IS IN WHAT LANGUAGE?
10:05 TELAGU.
10:06 YES.
10:08 AND IT SAYS, IN ENGLISH: WHERE THERE IS NO DOCTOR.
10:13 WHERE THERE IS NO DOCTOR.
10:15 WHY DO YOU LIKE THIS BOOK?
10:23 IT TEACHES ME THE SIMPLE REMEDIES FOR COMMON
10:26 AILMENTS.
10:27 AND WHERE DO YOU PUT YOUR BIBLE?
10:32 INSIDE THIS ONE.
10:33 IN THE BAG TOO?
10:34 WHAT IS THAT?
10:35 PUT IT IN TOO.
10:36 I WANT TO SEE ALL THIS FIT IN THE BAG.
10:42 YOU HAVE A HOSPITAL IN A BAG.
10:44 YES SIR.
10:45 AND THEY LET YOU TALK TO THEM ABOUT GOD?
10:47 YES.
10:52 I TELL THEM THAT GOD HAS SENT US TO YOUR VILLAGE
10:54 AND TO YOUR HOME.
10:57 WE CAN TREAT AND APPLY BANDAGES BUT JESUS IS THE
11:01 ONE THAT DOES THE HEALING.
11:03 THE GOD THAT WE SERVE CAN HEAL ANY WOUND.
11:06 JESUS, THE SON OF GOD WHILE HERE ON EARTH DID A
11:13 MEDICAL MINISTRY.
11:14 JESUS WOULD GO TO THE PEOPLE, MEET WITH THEM AND
11:20 TOUCH THEM.
11:21 JESUS WOULD MEET ALL THEIR NEEDS.
11:24 BY HELPING THEM, HE SHOWED HIS UNCONDITIONAL LOVE FOR
11:28 THEM.
11:29 THAT IS THE EXAMPLE THAT HE SET FOR US.
11:32 SO, WE ARE FOLLOWING HIS EXAMPLE AND I DO MY
11:36 PREACHING WHILE MY WIFE DOES HER MEDICAL MINISTRY.
11:42 AND TOGETHER--SEPARATELY YOU DO WELL, TOGETHER YOU
11:47 DO MORE.
11:49 BECAUSE OF OUR HEALTH MINISTRY AND THE SPIRITUAL
11:52 MINISTRY, TOGETHER MANY PEOPLE ARE NOW ATTENDING
11:55 OUR CHURCH.
11:57 THANK YOU BOTH OF YOU VERY, VERY MUCH.
12:03 SO, THAT'S AMAZING.
12:04 I LOVE THE WAY THAT THEY CAN GO ANYWHERE IN TOWN
12:07 AND THAT WHEN THEY DO GO INTO THOSE VILLAGE HOUSES,
12:11 THEY ARE THERE TOUCHING PEOPLES' BODIES, TOUCHING
12:15 THEIR SOULS ALL AT THE SAME TIME.
12:18 EVERYONE OF THOSE WOMEN HAS A BAG.
12:20 UH HUH.
12:21 AND WE'VE JUST GONE THROUGH ONE OF THOSE BAGS
12:22 WITH ONE OF THE LADIES.
12:24 UH HUH.
12:25 IN THAT BAG IS A BOOK, WHERE THERE IS NO DOCTOR,
12:28 I WANT YOU TO TELL ME ABOUT THAT.
12:29 SO, THE WHERE THERE IS NO DOCTOR BOOK HAS BASICALLY
12:32 EVERYTHING IN THERE YOU WOULD NEED TO KNOW IF
12:35 THERE WAS NO DOCTOR AROUND.
12:36 HOW TO SET A BROKEN BONE.
12:38 HOW TO TREAT A DOG BITE.
12:40 HOW TO TREAT POISONING, A STROKE OR IF SHALLOW
12:43 BREATHING.
12:44 I MEAN IF SOMEBODY IS CHOKING ON SOMETHING.
12:46 THERE IS JUST BASICALLY EVERYTHING IN THAT BOOK
12:48 THAT YOU NEED TO AND EVEN TALKS ABOUT MEDICINES.
12:50 IT EVEN HAS SOME STUFF ABOUT COACHING IN THERE.
12:52 THERE IS JUST A TON OF INFORMATION IN THAT BOOK.
12:56 AND THE PEOPLE WHO PRODUCE IT DOWN IN OAKLAND,
12:59 CALIFORNIA PRODUCE IT NOW I THINK IN 30 DIFFERENT
13:02 LANGUAGES ALL AROUND THE WORLD.
13:03 IT IS JUST IS THE "GO TO" BOOK FOR VILLAGE HEALTH.
13:07 YES, YES.
13:09 NO, ABSOLUTELY.
13:10 AT OUR HOUSE, BRENDA HAS LIKE FIVE DIFFERENT
13:13 LANGUAGES OF THAT BOOK.
13:15 MOST OF THEM ARE-I THINK THERE ARE TWO INDIAN
13:17 LANGUAGES AND MAYBE EVEN FOUR DIFFERENT AFRICAN
13:20 LANGUAGES BECAUSE SHE HAS FOUND THAT ABSOLUTELY
13:23 ESSENTIAL EVERYWHERE YOU GO IN THE WORLD.
13:25 OH YES, YES.
13:26 AND IT IS JUST -IT IS SAID IN A SIMPLE WAY.
13:28 THERE'S PICTURES IN IT AND SO YOU KNOW, WE TRAIN SOME
13:32 PEOPLE THAT MAY NOT HAVE THE HIGHEST EDUCATION
13:34 SKILLS BUT IT DOESN'T MATTER.
13:36 BUT IT DOESN'T MATTER BECAUSE YOU KNOW, THERE'S
13:38 THE PICTURES AND THERE'S YOU KNOW YOU LOOK IN THE
13:39 BACK OF THE BOOK AND YOU LOOK UP OK, HIGH BLOOD
13:43 PRESSURE IT TAKES YOU RIGHT TO THE PAGE AND
13:45 SHOWS YOU HOW TO TAKE A BLOOD PRESSURE AND IT IS
13:47 JUST AMAZING AND THE THING IS WE HAVE, WE KNOW THE
13:52 INFORMATION THAT IT TAKES.
13:53 WE HAVE THE INFORMATION TO MAKE PEOPLE HEALTHIER.
13:56 WE HAVE THE INFORMATION IT TAKES TO SAVE PEOPLE'S
13:59 LIVES.
14:00 BABIES ARE DYING IN INDIA AT AN INCREDIBLE RATE.
14:02 ONE QUARTER OF ALL THE CHILDREN THAT WILL DIE ON
14:05 THE PLANET TODAY WILL BE IN INDIA.
14:07 REALLY?
14:07 ONE QUARTER, YES.
14:08 IT IS HUGE AND WE HAVE -WHAT DO THEY DIE FROM?
14:11 WELL, A LOT OF IS DYSENTERY.
14:13 SO, I MEAN, NOT ALL OF IT, BUT THERE ARE ALL KINDS OF
14:15 THINGS THAT THEY ARE DYING FROM ANEMIA, DYSENTERY,
14:18 MALNUTRITION.
14:20 THERE IS ALL KINDS OF STUFF AND A LOT OF IT YOU
14:23 KNOW, JUST WASH YOUR HANDS, DRINKING CLEAN
14:25 WATER.
14:25 VERY SIMPLE THINGS.
14:26 MAKES A HUGE DIFFERENCE.
14:27 RIGHT IMMEDIATELY.
14:28 AND THE THINGTHERE'S WE HAVE ALL THIS INFORMATION
14:33 AND IT WOULD BE YOU KNOW, WE COULD SAY, OK WE COULD
14:35 JUST GO OVER THERE AND GIVE THEM THIS INFORMATION
14:37 IT IS NOT THE PROBLEM OF HAVING ENOUGH INFORMATION,
14:39 THE PROBLEM IS YOU NEED A VEHICLE IN WHICH TO GIVE
14:42 THIS INFORMATION TO THE PEOPLE IN THEIR CULTURE,
14:45 IN THEIR LANGUAGE IN A WAY THAT THEY WILL UNDERSTAND
14:47 IT.
14:48 CONSISTENTLY OVER AND OVER SO THEY GET IT.
14:50 NOW, OK TAKE ME WITH YOU ON A TRAINING SESSION.
14:53 OK.
14:54 YOU ARE GOING TO INDIA TO TRAIN GOSPEL OUTREACH
14:57 WIVES.
14:58 UH HUH.
14:59 TO BE HEALTH WORKERS.
15:00 WHO DO YOU TAKE WITH YOU?
15:01 UM, WE TAKE PHYSICAL THERAPISTS, WE TAKE PUBLIC
15:05 HEALTH DOCTOR, WE TAKE NURSES.
15:07 LAST TIME WE TOOK AN OB-GYN NURSE.
15:10 WE'VE TAKEN ALL KINDS OF NURSES AND DIFFERENT
15:12 DOCTORS AND WE SET UP A TRAINING PROGRAM.
15:13 THEY ARE 50 MINUTE CLASSES AND THE CLASSES WILL RUN
15:15 ONE HOUR AND RUN THROUGH MOST OF THE DAY AND AT THE
15:16 END OF THE DAY WE'LL GO INTO THE VILLAGES AND THEN
15:17 WE WILL DO ROUNDS.
15:18 SO, WE'LL GO TO THE VILLAGES AND WE'LL
15:19 PRACTICE WHAT WE'VE LEARNED THAT DAY.
15:21 I'M NOT SURE YOU'VE EVER USED "GO DO ROUNDS" I LOVE
15:22 THAT.
15:23 BECAUSE WHAT YOU ARE REALLY DOING IS YOU ARE
15:24 TAKING THESE PEOPLE AND YOU ARE WANDERING HOUSE TO
15:25 HOUSE IN SMALL GROUPS.
15:26 YES.
15:27 AND YOU ARE SAYING IS THERE ANYTHING I CAN DO TO
15:28 HELP YOU.
15:29 YES, YES.
15:30 SO, YOU NOT ONLY TRAIN THEM ON HOW TO DO WHAT
15:47 YOU'VE BEEN TRAINING IN CLASS, BUT YOU ARE
15:49 TEACHING THEM HOW TO MEET PEOPLE, HOW TO TALK TO
15:51 PEOPLE, HOW TO INTRODUCE THEMSELVES AND THEN TO
15:55 ADVISE PEOPLE IN SUCH A WAY THAT POSSIBLY YOU CAN
15:59 GET THEM TO DO WHAT YOU ARE ASKING THEM TO DO
16:00 BECAUSE YOU CAN'T JUST TELL PEOPLE "HEY, YOU NEED
16:02 TO DO THIS".
16:03 THERE ARE WAYS TO TALK TO PEOPLE AND COACH PEOPLE.
16:05 WHO TEACHES THEMTHAT?
16:07 THE COACHING PART?
16:08 THAT'S MY JOB.
16:09 THAT'S YOUR JOB.
16:10 YES.
16:11 TO TEACH THESE WOMEN HOW TO DO THIS CALMLY,
16:15 CAREFULLY, RESPECTFULLY.
16:16 UH HUH.
16:17 HOW DO YOU MAKE SURE THAT THEY FIT INTO THE CULTURE?
16:19 WELL, THEY'RE ALREADY IN THE CULTURE BUT I MEAN,
16:23 BUT YOU'RE AN AMERICAN YOU GOING TO TRY AND TEACH
16:25 THEM AND EVERYTHING YOU DO NO MATTER HOWWORK AT IT,
16:28 YOU ARE GOING TO BE AN AMERICAN.
16:29 YES, AND SO WHAT WE DO TO TEACH THEM TO BE IN THE
16:35 CULTURE, I'M TRYING TO UNDERSTAND.
16:37 YOU GIVE THEM TOOLS.
16:38 YES, WE GIVE THEM COACHING TOOLS THAT WE USE SO ONE
16:42 OF THOSE THINGS FOR INSTANCE, IN THE BOOK
16:44 WHERE THERE IS NO DOCTOR, THERE ARE TWO PAGES -ONE
16:46 PAGE HAS PEOPLE SITTING THERE GOING TO THE
16:48 BATHROOM IN THE WRONG PLACE.
16:49 THEY'VE GOT SOMEONE DRINKING SOME ALCOHOL,
16:50 THERE IS GARBAGE ALL OVER THE PLACE, THE PIGS ARE
16:51 RUNNING IN THE HOUSE, THE NEXT PICTURE IS ALL
16:53 CLEANED UP.
16:53 THERE IS NO ALCOHOL.
16:54 THERE IS A RESTROOM, A HOLE DUG WITH A RESTROOM
16:55 SO YOU TEACH THEM TO ASK THE PEOPLE, WHAT IS WRONG
16:57 IN THIS PICTURE?
17:07 WHAT IS RIGHT WITH THIS PICTURE?
17:08 AND THAT WAY THOSE PEOPLE LOOK AT IT, IDENTIFY THE
17:11 PROBLEM THEMSELVES AND THEN THEY KNOW THAT THEY
17:14 NEED TO FIX THIS PROBLEM.
17:15 AND THE PEOPLE THAT YOU HAVE TRAINED CAN EXPLAIN
17:18 WHY THE DIFFERENCE IS VALUABLE TO THEIR HEALTH
17:21 OF THEIR CHILDREN.
17:22 YES.
17:23 AND EVERYTHING YOU REALLY DO IS FOCUSED ON THE
17:25 HEALTH OF CHILDREN.
17:26 WE BELIEVE THAT IF YOU CAN START TRAINING THE
17:29 CHILDREN THAT HOPEFULLY THEY WILL GROW UP AND THEY
17:33 WILL TRAIN THE OTHER CHILDREN AND BECAUSE IT IS
17:35 HARD TO TRAIN AN OLD DOG NEW TRICKS.
17:36 BUT IF YOU CAN START TRAINING THE CHILDREN,
17:40 THEN HOPEFULLY THINGS WILL START TO GET BETTER.
17:42 IT IS AMAZING WHEN THE CHILDREN COME HOME AND
17:44 TELL THEIR MOTHER THEY WANT SOMETHING THIS WAY
17:46 BECAUSE IT WILL KEEP THEM HEALTHIER, THEY DO IT.
17:48 YES.
17:49 THEY DO IT.
17:50 YES, AND IT BECOMES A WAY OF LIFE IN THE VILLAGE.
17:53 YES, YES.
17:55 AND YOU KNOW, THERE IS STUDY AFTER STUDY THAT
17:57 SAYS IF YOU TRAIN WOMEN THE WHOLE HEALTH OF THE
18:01 VILLAGES RAISES AND SO TRAINING WOMEN TO TRAIN
18:05 CHILDREN IS, I MEAN, IT IS THE WAY THAT WE'VE FOUND
18:08 THAT IS THE MOST EFFECTIVE.
18:10 SOMEBODY ONCE SAID THAT THE HEALTH MESSAGE IS THE
18:12 RIGHT HAND OF THE GOSPEL.
18:13 WHAT YOU ARE SAYING HERE IS THAT THE WIFE IS THE
18:19 RIGHT HAND OF THE CONGREGATION.
18:21 YES.
18:22 WHEN YOU GO TO INDIAN CHURCHES, YOU'VE BEEN TO
18:24 INDIAN CHURCHES WHO IS IN THOSE CHURCHES?
18:27 AH, PROBABLY -I HAVE BEEN TO ONE INDIAN CHURCH THAT
18:29 WAS HALF AND HALF EVERYBODY ELSE IS 60 PER
18:32 CENT WOMEN AT LEAST.
18:33 AT LEAST, 60-70 PER CENT WOMEN AND THE WOMEN CARRY
18:36 THE WATER, THE WOMEN MAKE THE FOOD, THE WOMEN TAKE
18:39 CARE OF THE BABIES.
18:40 SO, WE TEACH WOMEN TO TEACH MOTHERS TO KEEP
18:42 THEIR BABIES ALIVE AND THAT'S PRETTY MUCH WHAT
18:44 OUR JOB IS.
18:45 WHEN YOU ACCOMPLISH THAT, YOU MAKE THE CHURCH THE
18:49 CENTER OF HOPE FOR THAT COMMUNITY.
18:51 THE COMMUNITY ACTUALLY BRING THEIR CHILDREN TO
18:53 THE CHURCH WHEN THERE IS A PROBLEM.
18:55 BECAUSE THEY ARE LOOKING FOR THE PASTOR'S WIFE.
18:57 ONCE THEY UNDERSTAND THE PASTOR'S WIFE DOES THE
19:00 HEALTH WORK.
19:01 THE CLOSEST HEALTH WORKER A LOT OF TIMES IS AT THE
19:04 CHURCH.
19:05 AND WHEN THEY ARE AROUND THE CHURCH, IT IS AMAZING
19:08 HOW MANY TIMES THEY TURN TO THE PASTOR AND SAY, SO,
19:11 WHY IS-WHAT DO YOU PEOPLE REALLY BELIEVE?
19:14 RIGHT?
19:15 AND THE NEXT THING YOU KNOW, YOU'VE GOT A BIGGER
19:16 CHURCH AND THEY ARE SINGING GREAT SONGS.
19:17 YES.
19:18 ABSOLUTELY.
19:19 WITH A PASSEL OF CHILDREN UP FRONT MAKING, IT
19:21 SPECIAL.
19:22 AND IT ISN'T BECAUSE WE WENT OUT THERE TRYING TO
19:25 CONVINCE THEM THAT OUR RELIGION IS THE RIGHT WAY
19:28 OVER HINDUISM OR MUSLIM.
19:31 IT'S BECAUSE WE WENT OUT AND WE LOVED THEM.
19:33 AND THEY WANT WHAT WE HAVE.
19:35 THEY WANT TO KNOW WHY WE CARE SO MUCH THAT WE WOULD
19:39 JUST DO THIS FOR THEM.
19:41 IN THE SCRIPTURE, JESUS HANDLES THIS WHOLE ISSUE
19:45 REALLY CLEARLY WHEN HE VISITS THE SAMARITAN
19:46 WOMAN, THE WOMAN IN SAMARIA.
19:49 AND HE SAYS, WHAT I HAVE IS LIKE A WELL OF WATER
19:52 THAT WILL GROW UP IN YOU AND COME OUT AND YOU WILL
19:55 NEVER BE THIRSTY AGAIN BECAUSE YOUR LIFE WILL BE
19:57 SO MUCH BETTER.
19:59 I REALLY THINK THAT'S THE COMBINATION OF "ULTIMATE
20:01 MISSION" AND GOSPEL OUTREACH IT IS
20:03 TRANSFORMATIONAL.
20:04 IT DOESN'T JUST CHANGE ONE LIFE, IT CHANGES A WHOLE
20:07 VILLAGE LIVES.
20:08 NOW, WE GOT ANOTHER LITTLE VIDEO THAT WE WANT TO SHOW
20:11 YOU AND THIS ONE AGAIN IS ANOTHER VILLAGE IN INDIA
20:14 WHERE YOU GET TO WATCH THE MARRIAGE BETWEEN GOSPEL
20:18 OUTREACH AND "ULTIMATE MISSION" AS IT WORKS IN
20:21 THIS LITTLE INDIAN VILLAGE.
20:22 COME WITH US.
20:23 çMUSIC PLAYINGÑ.
21:22 MY NAME IS MARCUS KARMA.
21:23 I WAS A HINDU BEFORE I BECAME A CHRISTIAN IN
21:26 1980, I BECAME SO INTERESTED IN LEARNING
21:30 ABOUT CHRISTIANITY.
21:31 WHAT THE BIBLE HAD TO SAY WAS MY CONSTANT INQUIRY.
21:35 I'D BEEN STUDYING THE SCRIPTURE FOR MANY MONTHS.
21:38 THE SCRIPT OF THE LAW LED ME TO SEVENTH DAY
21:41 ADVENTIST CHURCH WHERE I WAS BAPTIZED.
21:44 LATER, THEY SENT ME TO ADVENTIST BIBLE SEMINARY
21:47 FOR TWO YEARS.
21:49 SOON AFTER I GRADUATED, I WAS APPOINTED AS CHURCH
21:56 PASTOR FOR THREE CHURCHES.
21:59 IN 2016 I WAS TRANSFERRED TO GOYING VILLAGE.
22:05 HERE I HAD A LOT OF CHALLENGES BUT I TOTALLY
22:07 DEPENDED UPON THE LORD.
22:10 WHEN I WAS CALLED TO WORK IN THIS VILLAGE, I WAS
22:12 OFFERED TO WORK HERE BECAUSE THE WHOLE VILLAGE
22:16 WERE HIGH CASTE AND THEY ARE ALL HINDUS BUT ME AND
22:21 MY WIFE TOOK IT AS A CHALLENGE AND STARTED
22:24 TRYING TO WIN THE HEARTS OF THE PEOPLE.
22:37 MY NAME IS SALOME AND I WORK AS A HEALTH WORKER.
22:40 I HAVE BEEN ABLE TO WORK ALONGSIDE MY HUSBAND IN
22:48 REACHING PEOPLE IN SOME OF THE REMOTE VILLAGES IN OUR
22:52 AREA.
22:53 THE FIRST DAY MY HUSBAND WENT TO VISIT PEOPLE IN
22:56 THIS VILLAGE AND I JOINED HIM WITH MY MEDICAL KIT.
23:00 WE KNOCKED ON ONE DOOR AFTER ANOTHER BUT EVERY
23:04 PERSON TOLD US TO LEAVE.
23:06 LIKE THIS THE WHOLE VILLAGE TURNED US AWAY.
23:09 NOBODY RESPONDED FORCED TO LEAVE AND I WAS VERY
23:12 DISAPPOINTED.
23:16 BUT ME AND MY HUSBAND WENT TO THE CHURCH AND STARTED
23:19 ASKING GOD TO OPEN THE DOORS FOR OUR MINISTRY.
23:23 ONE DAY A YOUNG BOY CAME TO OUR HOME AND ASKED ME
23:27 TO COME TO HIS HOUSE TO HELP HIS SICK GRANDMA.
23:31 HE TOOK ME TO HIS HOUSE AND BROUGHT US TO HIS
23:35 GRANDMA'S BEDSIDE.
23:36 SHE WAS SUFFERING WITH SEVERE FEVER.
23:38 I IMMEDIATELY ASKED THE BOY TO GET ME A COTTON
23:42 CLOTH AND SOME COLD WATER.
23:43 AFTER A FEW DAYS OF TAKING CARE OF THIS WOMAN AND
23:48 VISITING HER EVERYDAY, SHE GOT BETTER.
23:51 AFTER THIS INCIDENT, WORD STARTED TO SPREAD OF ME
23:54 AND MY HUSBAND'S GREAT KINDNESS AND THE PEOPLE OF
23:58 THE VILLAGE STARTED RESPECTING US AND ASKING
24:01 US TO VISIT THEM.
24:03 NOW WHOEVER HAD SOME HEALTH QUESTIONS OR
24:05 PROBLEMS, WOULD CONTACT ME AND I WOULD GIVE THEM
24:09 SUGGESTIONS AND TIPS.
24:10 IF IT WAS A SERIOUS PROBLEM, I WILL ENCOURAGE
24:14 TO THEM TO GO VISIT THE HOSPITAL.
24:16 THROUGH OUR LOVE AND CARE, MANY PEOPLE IN OTHER
24:21 VILLAGES HAVE STARTED ASKING QUESTIONS ABOUT THE
24:24 BIBLE AND ATTENDING THE CHURCH.
24:37 BY FAITH WE ARE ABLE TO DO MIRACLES PRAYING THE NAME
24:41 OF THE LORD AND THE SAVIOR JESUS CHRIST.
24:43 THROUGH PRAYERS AND VISITATION, THE WHOLE
24:46 VILLAGE HAS LEARNED THE TRUTH ABOUT THE REMNANT
24:50 CHURCH.
24:51 WE ARE PRAYING AND GIVING THE PEOPLE TREATMENT FOR
24:54 ALL SORTS OF DISEASES.
24:56 AS A RESULT, THE WHOLE VILLAGE BECAME A MEMBER OF
25:00 ADVENTIST CHURCH.
25:11 ON BEHALF OF MY FAMILY, I AM VERY THANKFUL TO GOSPEL
25:15 OUTREACH FOR PROVIDING THE OPPORTUNITY AND PRIVILEGE
25:19 TO BE WORKING IN GOD'S SERVICE.
25:20 MAY GOD BLESS EACH ONE OF US AS WE WORK AND LOOK
25:24 UPON HIS COMING.
26:00 [MUSIC PLAYING].
26:01 JIM, I THINK IT IS A MIRACLE IN 2020 THERE IS
26:03 SOMETHING HAPPENING HERE THAT CAN ACTUALLY
26:05 TRANSFORM VILLAGES ALL ACROSS INDIA AND WHO
26:08 KNOWS, AS WE REALLY GET THIS THING OPERATING IT IS
26:10 GOING TO ALL AROUND THE WORLD WHEREVER GOSPEL
26:12 OUTREACH HAS WORKERS.
26:14 AMEN.
26:15 A WORD YOU'D LIKE TO SAY TO THE PEOPLE?
26:17 WELL, THIS PROGRAM IS GOING FORWARD AND WE ARE
26:20 MOVING FORWARD AS FAST AS WE CAN AND IF YOU WOULD
26:24 LIKE TO HELP OUT WITH THIS, YOU CAN JUST GO TO
26:27 GOAIM.ORG AND DONATE AND THAT DONATION WILL GO TO
26:30 HELP THE MEN, IT WILL GO TO HELP THE WOMEN, IT WILL
26:32 GO TO HELP ALL THIS WONDERFUL STUFF THAT
26:34 GOSPEL OUTREACH IS DOING AROUND THE WORLD.
26:37 SO, YOU'VE GOT A TEAM OUT THERE NOW AND I WANT YOU
26:40 TO THINK ABOUT WHEN YOU PRAY, PRAY FOR THE GOSPEL
26:43 OUTREACH WORKERS, THEIR SPOUSES BECAUSE TOGETHER
27:22 GOD'S TURNING THE WORLD UPSIDE DOWN WITH YOUR
28:24 HELP.
