AND SOUTH BENGAL 11:57 SECTION IS STAYING WONDERFUL TIME INSPITE OF 12:02 ALL THE RESTRICTIONS WITH AH THE HEALTH DEPARTMENT 12:07 OF THE NATION AS IT GOES. 12:09 OUR PEOPLE ARE REACHING OUT TO THE PEOPLE THROUGH 12:12 MEDIA ESPECIALLY THE GOSPEL OUTREACH AND THIS 12:16 IS THE LARGEST GROUP THAT WE HAVE IN THE SECTION AND 12:19 FAMILIES, SUPPOSE A LADY IS A GOSPEL OUTREACH 12:23 WORKER. 12:24 WE ARE GOING TO SHARE WITH YOU THE STORY ABOUT JOLI. 12:29 HER HUSBAND IS A PASTOR. 12:31 HER SON AND DAUGHTER ALL ARE INVOLVED INTO THE 12:35 MINISTRY AND BEYOND THAT WHEN THEY ARE ACTUALLY NOT 12:41 MAKING PEOPLE TO ACCEPT JESUS CHRIST, THEY ARE 12:46 MAKING DISCIPLES. 12:47 OH, FANTASTIC. 12:48 AND PASTOR YOU HAVE A SCRIPTURE TO SHARE WITH 12:51 US. 12:54 I'M GOING TO SHARE WITH YOU PSALM 103:3

13:32 DO MANY YEARS AGO AND WE ARE GOING TO CONTINUE IT 13:34 THAT IS CALLED HOME HEALTH TRAINING. 13:36 WE'RE GOING TO DO THAT AND THIS HOME TREATMENT HAS 13:40 BEEN A GREAT BLESSING TO SOUTH BENGAL SECTION AND 13:45 TO REACH TO THE PEOPLE WHERE OTHERWISE WE WON'T 13:49 BE ABLE TO REACH TO THE HOMES OF DIFFERENT PEOPLE 13:51 BECAUSE WE BELONG A DIFFERENT FAITH AND THIS 13:57 PARTICULAR THING-HEALING AND FORGIVING BOTH BECAUSE 14:03 FORGIVENESS TALKS ABOUT SPIRITUAL HEALING AND 14:06 DISEASES TALK ABOUT HEALTH. 14:09 PEOPLE LOVE THEIR HEALTH BUT THEY DO NOT KNOW HOW 14:13 TO MAINTAIN AND WE ARE ABLE TO REACH AT LEAST A 14:18 LITTLE BIT THROUGH THIS MINISTRY. 14:21 OH, FANTASTIC. 14:22 AND YOU KNOW, YOUR SITTING THERE WITH YOUR BIBLE AND 14:24 BEV, I KNOW YOU HAVE ONE CLOSE AND I

15:07 COMMUNICATE WITH US. 15:11 GOSPEL OUTREACH IS ALL VOLUNTEER ORGANIZATION 15:15 FULLY DEDICATED TO EXTENDING THE 15:17 INTERNATIONAL MINISTRY AND OUTREACH OF THE SEVENTH 15:20 DAY ADVENTIST CHURCH IN DEVELOPING AREAS OF THE 15:23 WORLD WITH A VERY SPECIAL EMPHASIS ON THE 10/40 15:28 WINDOW. 15:29 MATTHEW 24:14 EXPLICITLY STATES THAT THE GOSPEL 15:33 WILL BE PREACHED IN ALL THE WORLD BEFORE JESUS 15:37 RETURNS. 15:38 THE WORLD POPULATION IS SEVEN BILLION. 15:41 BY FAR, THE LARGEST CONCENTRATION OF UNREACHED 15:45 PEOPLE IS FOUND IN THE 10/40 WINDOW. 15:48 OF THE 2.84 BILLION UNREACHED PEOPLE OF THE 15:53 WORLD 97 PER CENT LIVE IN THIS 10/40 WINDOW. 15:59 THIS IS A CHALLENGING REGION. 16:01 ISLAM, HINDUISM AND BUDDHISM ARE THE DOMINANT 16:06 RELIGIONS. 16:07 MANY OF THE COUNTRIES HAVE MULTIPLE LANGUAGES AND 16:10 DIALECTS. 16:11 POVERTY AND ILLITERACY ARE WAYS OF LIFE FOR THE 16:14 MAJORITY. 16:16 MILLIONS UPON MILLIONS ARE SEARCHING. 16:19 THEY NEED HOPE. 16:21 AN IMPORTANT KEY TO SPREADING THE GOSPEL IN 16:23 THIS AREA IS TO USE INDIGENOUS WORKERS. 16:28 THEY ALREADY KNOW THE LANGUAGE, THE RELIGION, 16:31 THE CULTURE OF THEIR PEOPLE. 16:34 BLESSED BY THE SPIRIT THEY ARE ABLE TO HELP WIN A 16:37 PERSON FOR JESUS FOR LESS THAN $6 IN MANY AREAS. 16:43 FOR TWENTY YEARS, GOSPEL OUTREACH HAS FOCUSED ON 16:46 BUILDING AWARENESS OF THE NEED IN THE 10/40 WINDOW. 16:51 IN ADDITION TO RAISING FUNDS TO SUPPORT 16:53 INDIGENOUS WORKERS, GOSPEL OUTREACH CANADA AND GOSPEL 16:58 OUTREACH BRAZIL HAVE JOINED IN THIS METHOD OF 17:01 TELLING THE WORLD ABOUT JESUS. 17:04 APPROXIMATELY 22OO WORKERS ARE SPONSORED THROUGH 17:09 GOSPEL OUTREACH AND ITS SISTER ORGANIZATIONS. 17:13 THE WORKERS ARE HIRED AND TRAINED BY ADVENTIST 17:16 MISSION OFFICES AND CAN BE FUNDED FOR AN AVERAGE OF 17:20 $150 PER MONTH. 17:21 THE MISSION OF GOSPEL OUTREACH IS TO CONTINUE 17:26 WORKING WITH THE SEVENTH DAY ADVENTIST CHURCH BY 17:29 SPONSORING WORKERS WHO WILL INTRODUCE PEOPLE TO 17:33 JESUS IN THE 10/40 WINDOW WITH A GOAL OF ONE MILLION 17:38 NEW BAPTISMS OVER THE NEXT THREE YEARS. 17:48 AND YET AGAIN HERE AT GOSPEL OUTREACH WE WANT TO 17:50 SAY THANK YOU TO EACH ONE AND EVERYONE OF YOU WHO 17:53 SUPPORT GOSPEL OUTREACH THROUGH YOUR PRAYERS, AH 17:56 THROUGH YOUR FINANCIAL SUPPORT BY SHARING THE 17:58 GREAT NEWS OF WHAT YOU'VE HEARD. 18:00 MAYBE THROUGH THE

LOVE TO TALK WITH YOU MORE. 18:11 SO, WE WANT TO SAY THANK YOU. 18:12 WE ALSO WANT TO SAY THANK YOU TO ALL OF THE 18:14 DIFFERENT PLACES THAT AIRS "ADVENTURES IN MISSIONS" 18:16 WHETHER THAT IS THREE ANGELS BROADCASTING, LOMA 18:19 LINDA BROADCASTING, AND ALL THE VARIOUS OTHER 18:22 NETWORKS. 18:22 WE ARE ALSO ON YOUTUBE. 18:23 SO, WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT YOU'RE HEARING THE 18:25 GREAT STORIES THAT ARE COMING OUT OF THE 10/40 18:28 WINDOW FROM 10 TO 40 DEGREES NORTH. 18:31 MILLIONS OF PEOPLE WHO NEED TO KNOW JESUS IN SO 18:34 MANY COUNTRIES. 18:35 SO, TODAY WE ARE TRAVELING TO THE COUNTRY OF INDIA 18:38 AND WE ARE HERE WITH REGIONAL DIRECTOR, BEV 18:41 THOMPSON. 18:41 HI, BEV. 18:42 AND WE ARE HEARING FROM PASTOR NIRABINDU DOSS IN 18:46 NORTHEAST INDIA. 18:47 WELCOME BACK TO BOTH OF YOU. 18:49 THANK YOU. 18:51 SO, PASTOR NIRABINDU YOU HAVE A VIDEO TO SHARE WITH 18:55 US AND WHY DON'T YOU TO SHARE WITH THE VIEWERS UM, 18:59 A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THE STORY BEFORE WE START THE 19:01 VIDEO. 19:02 THIS IS A LITTLE VIDEO ABOUT A LADY CALLED 19:05 SONAMANI ADIKARI AND SHE'S FROM A TOWN IN THE UPPER 19:08 DISTRICT WHERE OUR GOSPEL OUTREACH VOLUNTEER WORKS 19:10 AND THE STORY IS-THE VIDEO IS SELF EXPLANATORY 19:17 BECAUSE IT IS DONE IN ENGLISH, TRANSLATED INTO 19:24 ENGLISH. 19:25 WE WILL PLAY THE VIDEO NOW. 19:30 (VIDEO PLAYING). 19:32 I'M SONAMANI ADIKARI. 19:35 I LIVE IN GUSHADBADAR TOWN IN MID DISTRICT. 19:38 I WAS SO MUCH DEPRESSED WITH MANY PROBLEMS. 19:41 I STARTED GOING TO PAWAN. 19:44 PAWAN IS A GROUP OF STRANGE CHRISTIANS THAT 19:47 BELIEVE THAT THEY CAN WORSHIP ANYHOW THEY LIKE 19:51 AND THEY CAN WORSHIP IDOLS AS WELL AS JESUS. 19:53 SO, AFTER JOINING THIS GROUP I DID NOT HAVE ANY 19:57 PEACE OF MIND. 19:59 I HAD ALSO CONTRACTED TUBERCULOSIS. 20:02 EVEN AFTER GOING THERE AND I HAD DIFFERENT OTHER 20:05 AILMENTS. 20:06 NOW SINCE FOUR MONTHS, THAT I HAVE COME TO KNOW 20:08 THE LORD THROUGH JOYLI AND HER HUSBAND, I AM HERE BY 20:13 GOD'S GRACE, SABBATH MESSAGE WAS A WONDERFUL 20:17 THING I LEARNED AND THAT GOD IS ONE WAS ALSO NEW TO 20:22 ME. 20:23 I STARTED A SMALL BUSINESS FOR LIVELIHOOD LIKE 20:27 SELLING LADIES CLOTHES AND GOD HAS BLESSED IT. 20:30 AND I RETURN MY TITHE AND OFFERING. 20:32 I DON'T WORK ON SABBATH AND I WANT TO THANK GOD 20:36 FOR ALL THAT HE HAS DONE FOR ME. 20:38 NOW, I AM WITH A PRAYER GROUP GOD HAS BLESSED US 20:41 ALL. 20:42 PLEASE PRAY FOR ME THAT I DO HAVE LITTLE DIFFICULTY 20:45 IN BREATHING WHEN I WALK. 20:47 THANK YOU SO MUCH. 20:51 WOW, WHAT AN AMAZING STORY. 20:53 PRAISE THE LORD ABOUT HER, PASTOR NIRABINDU. 20:57 SO, WHAT DID SHE HAVE? 20:57 WHAT DISEASE DID SHE HAVE, PASTOR? 20:59 SHE HAD TUBERCULOSIS AND SEVERE ASTHMA. 21:05 WOW. 21:07 SO, WE ARE HEARING HERE TODAY ABOUT HOW THE LORD 21:11 IS WORKING THROUGH THE GOSPEL OUTREACH WORKERS, 21:13 THROUGH THE PASTORS IN YOUR AREA NIRABINDU AND 21:18 WHAT DOES THIS MEAN FOR YOU AS YOU HAVE SHARED 21:22 THAT HERE YOU ARE WORKING IN YOUR COUNTRY AS A 21:25 CHRISTIAN SHARING JESUS HERE TO YOUR HINDU, THE 21:30 PEOPLE THAT YOU ASSOCIATE WITH, THE CITIZENS OF YOUR 21:33 COUNTRY, WHAT IS THIS LIKE FOR YOU? 21:37 I'M SAVED BY GOD'S GRACE AND THE SELFISHNESS WILL 21:43 NOT EXIST AND HIS LOVE THERE IN HEAVEN. 21:46 THEREFORE, IF I HIDE THE TRUTH THAT I HAVE I'LL BE 21:50 RESPONSIBLE AND I NEED TO SHARE MY PEOPLE HERE 21:54 THROUGH GOSPEL OUTREACH. 21:56 THEY ARE SHARING JESUS BECAUSE HE IS COMING VERY 21:59 SOON. 22:00 THERE IS NO MORE TIME. 22:01 WE CANNOT HIDE AND SIT IN OUR HOMES. 22:04 EVERYONE WITH THROUGH THEM, EVERY MEMBER MUST GO 22:10 OUT AND SHARE ABOUT JESUS SOON RETURN. 22:14 THINGS THAT ARE HAPPENING ALL AROUND TELL US THAT WE 22:17 DO NOT HAVE TIME. 22:18 TIME IS TICKING AWAY AND JESUS IS COMING VERY SOON. 22:21 THIS IS THE MESSAGE EVERY PERSON MUST HEAR IN THIS 22:25 LAND OF SOUTH BENGAL SECTION. 22:30 ISN'T THAT FANTASTIC, BEV, TO HEAR PASTOR NIRABINDU 22:34 SPEAK LIKE THIS? 22:35 IT WARMS MY HEART TO HEAR A LEADER HAVE THIS 22:38 DETERMINATION TO SPREAD THE GOSPEL AND LET ME TELL 22:42 YOU, IT ISN'T JUST THE GOSPEL OUTREACH WORKERS 22:44 THAT ARE SPREADING THE GOSPEL. 22:45 IT IS HAVING A LEADER THAT GETS OUT THERE AND DOES IT 22:48 HIMSELF. 22:49 IT IS IN HIS HEART TO DO IT FOR SOUTH BENGAL SO. 22:52 WELL, AND PASTOR NIRABINDU THIS STORY THAT I CONTINUE 22:57 TO HEAR FROM PEOPLE WHO HAVE HEARD ABOUT JESUS AND 23:02 WHO HAVE HAD SUCH A LIFE COMMITMENT AND A LIFE 23:05 CHANGE AND THE BIBLE TALKS ABOUT THE TRANSFORMATION 23:08 OF THE SOUL AND EVERYTHING AND I HAVE HEARD THIS FROM 23:12 YOU AND I HAVE HEARD IT FROM MANY OTHER PEOPLE BUT 23:14 FOR MANY PEOPLE WHO HAVE BEEN UM, BROUGHT UP IN A 23:18 CHRISTIAN COUNTRY, WHO HAVE BEEN BROUGHT UP AS 23:20 CHRISTIANS UM, TO HAVE A CONVERSION BUT TO HAVE A 23:23 STORY LIKE YOURS, UM, I KNOW OF SOMEONE WHO BECAME 23:30 A MUSLIM, OR HE WAS A MUSLIM RATHER, AND HE 23:33 BECAME A CHRISTIAN AND HE WAS, HE WAS ANGRY AT THE 23:38 THOUGHT THAT HE DIDN'T KNOW EARLIER IN HIS LIFE 23:41 ABOUT JESUS AND CHRISTIANITY. 23:43 JUST THE IMPACT OF HAVING A LIFE CHANGED AND HE IS 23:48 NOW SHARING JESUS WITH THE URGENCY THAT I HEAR FROM 23:52 YOU AND YET, AS WE HEAR THE THINGS IN OUR WORLD 23:56 AND THE RUMBLINGS OF EVERYTHING, JESUS IS 23:59 COMING SOON AND THAT SHOULD LIGHT A FIRE UNDER 24:04 EVERYBODY, RIGHT BEV? 24:05 RIGHT ON AND NIRABINDU IS IN AN AREA THERE ARE QUITE 24:09 A FEW MUSLIMS AND BECAUSE OF THE TRANSITION BETWEEN 24:13 THE FAITH OF MUSLIMS TO CHRISTIANITY IT IS A VERY 24:16 DELICATE SITUATION BUT HERE HE IS RIGHT IN THE 24:19 MIDDLE OF IT AND THE MESSAGE IS GOING FORWARD. 24:23 IT DOESN'T MATTER WHO IT WAS BEFORE, THE MESSAGE IS 24:25 GOING FORWARD WHEN YOU HAVE A LEADER THAT IS 24:28 ALWAYS THERE AND PRESSES IT ON TO OTHERS, YOU HAVE 24:33 EVERYONE WORKING. 24:34 FANTASTIC. 24:36 PRAISE THE LORD. 24:37 AND NIRABINDU IT HAS BEEN SO NICE HAVING BOTH YOU 24:39 AND BEV HERE ON "ADVENTURES IN MISSIONS" 24:41 AND AS WE GET READY TO CLOSE, WE'VE HEARD YOUR 24:44 TESTIMONY, YOU'VE SHARED ABOUT WHAT THE LORD HAS 24:47 DONE IN YOUR LIFE AS A YOUNG BOY AND YOUR PASSION 24:50 TO SHARE JESUS, COULD YOU BOTH SHARE WITH US AS WE 24:55 CLOSE WHAT ARE SOME OF YOUR NEEDS THAT YOU WOULD 24:59 LIKE TO COMMUNICATE HERE WITH THE VIEWERS? 25:01 IN THE SUNDARBAN ISLANDS, NIRABINDU HAS WORKED WITH 25:06 THE PRINCIPAL OF OUR ADVENTIST SCHOOL AND THEY 25:11 HAVE HAD A SPECIAL CLASS FOR TRAINING YOUNG MEN AND 25:15 WOMEN HOW TO DO GOSPEL OUTREACH WORK MOST 25:18 EFFECTIVELY FOR THE BENGALI PEOPLE. 25:20 THEY'VE HAD A COURSE FOR TWO MONTHS IS IT? 25:25 NIRABINDU? 25:26 THREE MONTHS, THREE MONTHS IN THE CLASSROOM AND NOW 25:30 THEY ARE READY TO GO OUT INTO THE FIELD, THEY CALL 25:32 IT. 25:33 THEY ARE
