00:32 HI, I'M JULIE.
00:34 WELCOME TO "ADVENTURES IN MISSIONS" HERE AT GOSPEL 00:36 OUTREACH. 00:37 WE'RE SO GLAD THAT YOU'VE JOINED US AND IN MARK 00:39 15:16 JESUS SAID, "GO, INTO ALL THE WORLD AND 00:44 PREACH THE GOSPEL TO ALL CREATION". 00:46 WELL, GOING HAS BECOME A DIFFERENT TERM FOR MANY OF 00:50 US AND HERE AT GOSPEL OUTREACH WE'RE USED TO 00:52 HAVING A LOT OF OUR REGIONAL DIRECTORS GETTING 00:54 ON AIRPLANES AND GOING PLACES BUT WE ARE DOING SO 00:57 MUCH NOW WITH ZOOM AND SO THAT'S WHAT WE ARE DOING 00:59 HERE TODAY. 01:01 AS WE TALK ABOUT THE GREAT COMMISSION, ABOUT HOW 01:03 JESUS HAS INSTRUCTED US TO GO AND TELL OTHERS ABOUT 01:06 HIM AND TODAY WE ARE JOINED HERE WITH BONNIE 01:09 AND DEL ORSER HERE ON ZOOM AND WELCOME TO BOTH OF YOU 01:12 TO "ADVENTURES IN MISSIONS". 01:14 THANK YOU. 01:15 WE ARE HAPPY TO BE HERE. 01:17 WELL, ALWAYS NICE TO SEE BOTH OF YOU AND IT HAS 01:20 BEEN A PLEASURE OVER THE YEARS TO INTERVIEW BOTH OF 01:22 YOU AND LET'S HAVE YOU BOTH REMIND OUR VIEWERS OF 01:26 WHERE YOU FOLKS ARE REGIONAL DIRECTORS FOR AND 01:29 IN WHICH GREAT COUNTRY. 01:31 WELL, WE SERVE AN AMAZINGLY LARGE COUNTRY 01:35 NEARLY THE LARGEST POPULATION OF ANY 01:38 CONTINENT AND THAT IS INDIA. 01:41 AND WE HAVE A LARGE TERRITORY COVERING TWO 01:47 STATES, ANDHRA PRADESH AND ODISHA. 01:51 WE HAVE A MAP HERE THAT SHOWS THAT. 01:54 ACTUALLY, THE TWO CITIES THAT WE ARE PRIMARILY IN 01:59 UP NORTH AND SOUTH COVER THOUSANDS OF MILES AND 02:04 WHEN WE TRAVEL, WE HAVE TO TRAVEL AT NIGHT TIME AND 02:06 WE SLEEP ON THE WAY THERE. 02:08 SO, INDIA AND CHINA THEY ARE KIND OF ON A RACE TO 02:11 SEE WHOSE POPULATION GROWS THE MOST AND BONNIE, HOW 02:12 MANY YEARS HAVE YOU AND DEL BEEN SERVING WITH 02:14 GOSPEL OUTREACH? 02:14 SEVEN YEARS. 02:15 AND THAT'S A GREAT NUMBER. 02:16 WELL, WE ARE SO GLAD THAT YOU ARE BOTH DOING ALL OF 02:17 THIS AND REMIND US HOW MANY GOSPEL OUTREACH 02:18 WORKERS YOU HAVE IN YOUR AREA, DEL. 02:20 WE HAVE RIGHT AT 140 RIGHT NOW. 02:21 AND THE POPULATION OF INDIA IS ABOUT WHAT? 02:22 ONE BILLION SIX HUNDRED MILLION, I BELIEVE 02:23 SOMEWHERE RIGHT IN THERE. 02:24 SO, I THINK WE NEED SOME MORE GOSPEL OUTREACH 02:25 WORKERS, WHAT DO YOU SAY? 02:26 WE DO. 02:27 ACTUALLY, THERE IS ABOUT, IN OUR TERRITORY, IN OUR 02:28 REGION 11 WE HAVE RIGHT AT 200,000 ADVENTISTS AND WE 02:29 HAVE RIGHT AT 1000 CHURCHES. 02:30 BUT WITH SO MANY PEOPLE WHO NEED TO KNOW ABOUT 02:31 JESUS SO IN THIS 10/40 WINDOW THAT WE TALK ABOUT 02:32 FROM 10 TO 40 DEGREES NORTH OF THE EQUATOR FROM 02:34 WEST AFRICA ALL THROUGH THE MIDDLE EAST AND YOUR 02:35 COUNTRY OF INDIA WHERE YOUR FOCUSING AND THEN ALL 03:19 THROUGH THE REST OF ASIA, SO MANY PEOPLE WHO NEED TO 03:23 KNOW ABOUT JESUS AND SO, WHY DON'T YOU GIVE OUR 03:26 VIEWERS SOME UPDATE HERE ON SOME PHOTOS THAT YOU 03:28 HAVE AND SHARE WITH US. 03:30 THIS PHOTO IS, I THINK, THIS IS IN NORTH 03:34 RAYALASEEMA AND IN THE ANDHRA PRADESH AREA. 03:39 THESE BIBLE WORKERS ARE SO DEDICATED, WORK SO HARD 03:43 AND THEY ARE VERY, VERY EFFECTIVE BIBLE WORKERS. 03:47 AND OUR FOCUS HAS BEEN FOR THEM TO GO TO VILLAGES, 03:52 MOVE FROM BEING A PASTOR AND BEING PART OF A 03:55 CHURCH, ALTHOUGH THEY CAN BE PART OF A CHURCH BUT 03:58 THEY'RE NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR THE CHURCH AND IT'S 04:01 BEEN A REAL CHALLENGE FOR THEM TO GO TO VILLAGES 04:04 THAT ARE NEARBY AND LATER ON WE WILL BE SHOWING YOU 04:08 A LITTLE MAP THAT THEY ALL DREW. 04:10 A MAP OF WHERE THEY LIVE, WHERE THEIR CHURCH IS AND 04:14 WHERE THEY ARE DOING HOME CHURCHES. 04:16 AND THE CHALLENGE DUE TO COVID BONNIE, OR WHAT'S 04:19 THE SPECIFIC CHALLENGE FOR THEM? 04:21 IT'S THE CHALLENGE FOR THEM OF COURSE, IS COVID. 04:24 SOME VILLAGES THEY ARE NOT ALLOWED TO GO IN BUT THEY 04:29 ARE QUITE TECHY. 04:30 I MEAN THEY USE THEIR PHONES AND SOCIAL MEDIA 04:33 AND THEY ARE QUITE PERSISTENT, REALLY. 04:37 WELL, AS WE CONTINUE TO TALK ABOUT THAT HERE AT 04:40 "ADVENTURES IN MISSIONS" IS THAT NO MATTER WHERE 04:43 YOU GO IN THE WORLD EVERYBODY HAS A CELL 04:46 PHONE. 04:47 THEY MIGHT BE OUT IN THE MIDDLE OF RICE PADDY 04:48 PLOWING BUT THEY'VE GOT THEIR CELL PHONE WITH THEM 04:50 AND YES, THAT IS SOMETHING THAT WE OBVIOUSLY ARE 04:53 USING TECHNOLOGY HERE AND AT A TIME WHERE WE NEED TO 04:58 HAVE THAT TO BE ABLE TO STAY CONNECTED. 05:00 SO, I'M GLAD TO HEAR THAT. 05:01 SO, HERE'S ANOTHER PHOTO OF LOTS OF SMILING FACES 05:04 WITH YOU THERE IN THE MIDDLE, BONNIE. 05:05 YES, THIS IS IN ORISSA, UP NORTH IN ORISSA AND ORISSA 05:11 IS A BEAUTIFUL AREA. 05:13 IT IS LIKE A MAJOR JUNGLE BUT THEY ALSO HAVE LOTS OF 05:16 MINING IN THIS AREA AND OUR BIBLE WORKERS THEY 05:20 HAVE HUGE TERRITORIES. 05:22 SOME MORE BIBLE WORKERS WOULD BE A REAL BLESSING. 05:25 YES, SO TELL US ABOUT WHAT YOU ARE HEARING FROM THE 05:28 BIBLE WORKERS? 05:29 ARE PEOPLE INTERESTED IN CHRISTIANITY? 05:31 IS IT SOMETHING NEW FOR THEM? 05:34 TELL US WHAT THE INTEREST LEVEL IS THAT YOU ARE 05:36 HEARING. 05:37 WELL, IN ORISSA IT IS THERE -CHRISTIANS ARE VERY 05:42 MUCH PERSECUTED IN THAT AREA AND SO THEIR WORK IS 05:47 VERY HARD BUT THOSE PEOPLE WHO FIND JESUS AND ARE 05:50 CONVERTED THEY STAND. 05:52 THEY ARE WILLING TO GIVE THEIR LIVES TO STAND FOR 05:56 CHRISTIANITY AND FOR CHRIST. 05:58 AND THESE BIBLE WORKERS ARE VERY DEDICATED. 06:01 WELL, AND I WANT US TO LOOK AT EACH PERSON HERE. 06:04 SO, LET'S LOOK AT EACH PERSON HERE IN THE PHOTOS 06:06 WITH DEL AND BONNIE AND EACH PERSON REPRESENTS A 06:09 CHANGED LIFE AND THE FACT THAT THEY ARE NOW SHARING 06:14 JESUS WITH THE PEOPLE IN THEIR AREAS. 06:16 SO, DEL WHAT ARE SOME OF THINGS THAT YOU AND BONNIE 06:18 DO AS FAR AS LEADERSHIP AND AS FAR AS MEETINGS 06:22 THAT YOU ARE CURRENTLY DOING? 06:24 WE GENERALLY SPEND TWO MONTHS EVERY YEAR FOR THE 06:28 PAST SEVEN YEARS IN INDIA AND WE BEGIN BY HAVING A 06:32 MEETING WITH THE LEADERSHIP MAKING SURE 06:34 THEY ARE ALL IN HARMONY AND THEY SIGN A CONTRACT 06:35 ACTUALLY A MEMORANDUM OF AGREEMENT, AND IT IS 06:36 ALWAYS VERY IMPORTANT THAT WE ARE ALL ON THE SAME 06:38 PAGE AND KNOW WHAT IS EXPECTED OF THEM AS FAR AS 06:49 PAYING THEIR STIPENDS ON TIME. 06:52 AND WE GO OVER THAT VERY CAREFULLY. 06:54 THEN THE OTHER PART OF THE WEEK, THE LAST THREE DAYS 06:59 THAT WE'RE GENERALLY AT EACH OF OUR CONFERENCES WE 07:02 SPEND OUR TIME IN TRAINING WITH THE BIBLE WORKERS AND 07:07 WE HAVE GOTTEN TO KNOW EACH BIBLE WORKER AND WE 07:11 LEARN THEIR CHALLENGES AND WE HAVE PRAYER WITH THEM. 07:14 THEY BECOME LIKE OUR OWN SONS. 07:17 WE HAVE JUST A WONDERFUL RELATIONSHIP WITH OUR 07:21 BIBLE WORKERS THAT WE'VE GROWN TO LOVE SO MUCH. 07:24 WELL AND I THINK THAT IS SO IMPORTANT THAT YOU SAID 07:26 ABOUT THE TRAINING BECAUSE FOR MOST OF THESE WORKERS, 07:30 THEY HAVE COME FROM HINDU BACKGROUNDS, IS THAT 07:33 CORRECT? 07:34 YES. 07:35 AND SO, WHERE MAYBE FOR THOSE OF US WHO HAVE BEEN 07:38 SO BLESSED TO GROW UP IN CHURCH AND ATTEND 07:41 CHRISTIAN SCHOOLS, YOU KNOW, THESE PEOPLE ARE ON 07:43 FIRE BUT TO BE ABLE TO HELP THEM AND TO 07:45 UNDERSTAND THE BIBLE MORE AND ALL OF THAT IS SO 07:48 IMPORTANT. 07:50 WE HAVE THE GO COORDINATOR TWO OR THREE YEARS AGO HE 07:57 HAS PUT TOGETHER WITH VOICE OF PROPHECY THEIR 08:03 LESSONS OF 26 AND THEY ARE REQUIRING ALL OF OUR BIBLE 08:08 WORKERS, ALL 140 OF THEM TO GO THROUGH ALL OF THOSE 08:13 LESSONS AND THEN BE TESTED TO MAKE SURE THEY 08:16 UNDERSTAND AND THAT HAS BEEN A WONDERFUL TRAINING 08:19 TOOL FOR THEM AND THEN THEY ALSO USE THOSE SAME 08:23 BIBLE LESSONS- GET MORE BIBLE LESSONS IN TELAGU OR 08:28 HINDI AND THEY ALSO GO TO THESE VILLAGES AND HAVE 08:31 BIBLE STUDIES WITH DIFFERENT PEOPLE IN THESE 08:33 VILLAGES. 08:34 SO, IT IS REALLY A WONDERFUL TOOL FOR THEM TO 08:37 BE ABLE TO SPREAD YOU KNOW, THE GOSPEL. 08:41 AND THEN THE NEXT THING WE'RE DOING IS WE'RE DOING 08:43 A BIBLE MARKING WHERE THEY DO A LIKE ON THE SECOND 08:50 COMING OF CHRIST, THEY HAVE STARTING POINT IN THE 08:53 BACK OF THE BIBLE THAT GIVES YOU THE FIRST 08:55 SCRIPTURE, YOU KNOW HOW BIBLE MARKING GOES, AND SO 08:58 THAT HAS BEEN VERY NICE FOR THEM THAT THEY HAVE 09:01 MARKED THE FIRST SCRIPTURE REGARDING THE SECOND 09:05 COMING OF JESUS, THEN AT THAT FIRST SCRIPTURE THERE 09:07 IS ANOTHER SCRIPTURE THAT TAKES THEM TO NUMBER TWO 09:10 BIBLE STORY, I MEAN BIBLE SCRIPTURE REGARDING THE 09:14 SECOND COMING OF CHRIST. 09:15 AND ON THE SABBATH AND STATE OF THE DEAD AND 09:19 HEALTH. 09:20 ALL OF THOSE THINGS DEL PUT TOGETHER FOR THEM A 09:23 BIBLE MARKING PROGRAM AND IT IS SOMETHING THEY CAN 09:26 ACTUALLY DO ON THEIR CELL PHONES SO THEY DON'T HAVE 09:29 TO COME IN FOR TRAINING. 09:31 THEY DO IT ON THEIR IPHONES OR CELL PHONES. 09:34 YOU KNOW, THAT WHAT YOU'VE JUST HIGHLIGHTED AS YOU 09:37 SAID THAT LITERALLY HIGHLIGHTED, BONNIE I AM 09:39 THINKING ABOUT THE BIBLES OF DEAR PEOPLE WHO HAVE 09:42 BEEN IN MY LIFE AND TO PICK UP THEIR BIBLE AND TO 09:47 SEE ALL OF THE SCRIPTURES. 09:49 MY HUSBAND'S FATHER WAS A PASTOR - CHARLES KEYMER 09:51 AND TO OPEN THAT BIBLE AND TO SEE ALL OF THE 09:55 SCRIPTURES THERE IT IS SO MEANINGFUL TO ME AND JUST 09:58 IN MY GRANDMOTHER'S BIBLE TO SEE THAT SO, TO HAVE 10:02 THAT BASIS TO THEN BE ABLE TO SHARE THOSE SCRIPTURES 10:05 AND TO GO LOOK RIGHT THERE AND THERE THEY ARE AND TO 10:07 SHARE, THAT IS POWERFUL. 10:10 DEL, I THINK THAT'S WONDERFUL THAT YOU FOLKS 10:11 ARE DOING THAT. 10:12 THANK YOU. 10:13 AH, WE DID HAVE A PHOTO THERE OF US WITH ONE OF 10:19 THE WORKERS AND I JUST LOVE THAT PICTURE BECAUSE 10:23 WE ALWAYS HAVE- SPEAK WITH THEM ABOUT THEIR FAMILY, 10:26 WHAT THEY ARE DOING WITH THEIR TIME AND GET TO KNOW 10:29 THEM AND HOW THEIR WIFE- IF SHE'S A SUPPORT TO 10:32 THEM. 10:33 HOW MANY CHILDREN THEY HAVE. 10:34 WE GET TO KNOW THEM PERSONALLY AND HAVING 10:36 PRAYER ALWAYS. 10:38 SOMETIMES OUR MEETINGS WITH OUR INDIVIDUAL BIBLE 10:40 WORKERS GOES WAY INTO THE NIGHT BUT IT IS SO 10:44 REWARDING. 10:44 WE JUST HAVE GROWN TO LOVE THEM SO MUCH. 10:47 WELL, THAT'S FANTASTIC AND NO MATTER WHAT LANGUAGE 10:50 YOU ARE PRAYING IN THERE, THE LORD UNDERSTANDS. 10:52 OH, NOW TELL US ABOUT THIS NEXT PICTURE WE HAVE. 10:56 YES, THIS NEXT PHOTO IS OF COURSE, A SCREEN SHOT OF 11:00 ONE OUR ZOOM MEETINGS AND I THINK IT SHOWS ABOUT 41 11:06 PARTICIPANTS IN THAT PICTURE. 11:08 THIS IS OF COURSE, ONE OF OUR WORKERS AND SOME OF 11:11 THESE-WHEN THE BIBLE WORKERS DO NOT HAVE A 11:13 SMART PHONE THEY SHARE IT WITH SOMEONE ELSE, AND SO, 11:16 SOMETIMES WE GET UP TO THREE AND FOUR PEOPLE BUT 11:19 MOST ALL OF THEM HAVE SMARTPHONES NOW WHICH HAS 11:22 BEEN A REAL BLESSING. 11:24 ISN'T THAT-YOU KNOW, I JUST THINK ABOUT HOW AS WE 11:27 MENTIONED EARLIER ABOUT BEING ABLE TO CONNECT AND 11:30 USUALLY, YOU KNOW, WORK TOGETHER HERE IN THE 11:32 STUDIO HERE AT GOSPEL OUTREACH BUT BECAUSE OF 11:34 THIS WE ARE ABLE TO CONTINUE TO ENCOURAGE 11:37 PEOPLE AND SHARE WHAT IS HAPPENING IN THE -IN YOUR 11:41 AREA. 11:42 SO, ARE THE GOSPEL OUTREACH WORKERS ARE THEY 11:46 ENCOURAGED, DEL AND BONNIE? 11:48 ARE THEY -DESPITE ALL THAT IS GOING ON? 11:51 WELL, WE REALLY FEEL THAT IT'S BEEN A REAL BLESSING 11:54 FOR US SPECIALLY TO LEARN THE ROPES OF USING ZOOM. 11:58 EVERY OTHER TIME WE MEET WITH OUR CONFERENCES, WE 12:04 HAVE ALL THE BIBLE WORKERS JOIN US. 12:07 SO, WE ARE WITH THE LEADERS ONE TIME AND THE 12:10 NEXT MEETING IS WITH THE BIBLE WORKERS AND THEY 12:12 HAVE A CHANCE TO SHARE STORIES AND EXPERIENCES 12:16 AND IT'S BEEN REAL REWARDING. 12:18 ONE THING ABOUT MEETING WITH THE BIBLE WORKERS, 12:20 AND SINCE WE HAVEN'T SEEN THEM UH HUH, THEY ARE JUST 12:24 SO EXCITED TO SEE US ON ZOOM AND US THEM, OF 12:30 COURSE, TOO BUT WE JUST HAVE THIS TIME OF LAUGHING 12:33 AND SMILING AND TALKING THROUGH A TRANSLATOR OF 12:36 COURSE, BUT, BECAUSE WE HAVE BUILT THIS RAPPORT 12:39 AND LOVE BETWEEN US AND SO IT HAS BEEN-WE WERE JUST 12:44 REALLY MISSING OUR BIBLE WORKERS AND THEN WE TALKED 12:48 THE LEADERSHIP INTO PLEASE, CAN WE, WE WANT 12:52 THEM TO COME ON FOR A ZOOM AND SO NOW THEY COME AND 12:57 SO IT REALLY HAS BEEN A REAL BLESSING. 12:59 REAL BLESSING. 13:00 WELL, AREN'T YOU BOTH SO GLAD THAT YOU KNOW THESE 13:02 PEOPLE, YES, THAT YOU KNOW THEM AND YOU HAVE THIS 13:05 HISTORY AND THAT IS SUCH A BLESSING. 13:07 SO, WE WOULD LIKE TO SAY THANK YOU TO ALL OF YOU 13:11 FOR BEING A PART HERE OF GOSPEL OUTREACH AND IF YOU 13:14 ARE LIFTING GOSPEL OUTREACH UP IN PRAYER TO 13:17 THE LORD, WE WANT TO SAY THANK

ON ZOOM. 13:28 THEY'RE COMMUNICATING WITH PEOPLE IN THE TOWNS AND 13:30 VILLAGES WHERE THEY LIVE AND THEY ARE SHARING THE 13:33 LOVE OF JESUS. 13:34 WE WANT TO THANK YOU FOR FOLLOWING US ON SOCIAL

BUT TAKE A CLOSER LOOK AND YOU 13:53 CAN SEE THE PAIN OF A WORLD ON A COLLISION 13:56 COURSE WITH ITS OWN GREED. 13:59 HUMANITY. 14:00 WE NEED LOVE. 14:02 WE NEED HOPE. 14:05 WE NEED A SAVIOR. 14:08 MORE THAN ONE THIRD OF THE WORLDS SEVEN BILLION 14:11 PEOPLE STILL NEED TO HEAR ABOUT GOD'S LOVE AND HIS 14:15 PLAN TO SAVE US. 14:16 ONE THIRD IN SUCH A BIG WORLD, IT'S EASY TO FEEL 14:22 SMALL BUT YOU CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE. 14:26 PARTNER WITH GOSPEL OUTREACH TO FUND BIBLE 14:29 WORKERS WHO ARE MISSIONARIES IN THEIR OWN 14:31 VILLAGES, TOWNS AND CITIES. 14:34 THEY SHARE THE LIFE CHANGING LOVE IN

WORK WITH LOCAL GOSPEL OUTREACH WORKERS. 15:39 THEY KNOW THE LANGUAGE, THEY KNOW THE CUSTOMS. 15:40 THEY ARE LIVING IN THE TOWNS AND VILLAGES AND SO 15:42 WE'RE WORKING TOGETHER WITH THEM AS WE SHARE THAT 15:44 JESUS HAS COME HE HAS DIED FOR THEM, AND HE IS COMING 15:45 AGAIN TO TAKE US ALL HOME. 15:46 SO, TODAY WE ARE TALKING WITH DEL AND BONNIE ORSER 15:47 AND THEY ARE REGIONAL DIRECTORS FOR INDIA AND IT 15:48 IS ALWAYS SO NICE TO VISIT WITH YOU BOTH AND THANK 15:50 YOU FOR SHARING HERE. 15:51 SO, YOU'VE BEEN SHARING WITH US AND DEL AND BONNIE 15:52 TAKE US BACK TO INDIA. 16:08 WELL, ONE OF THINGS I WANTED TO MENTION WHICH 16:10 HAS BEEN A REAL POSITIVE THING WITH OUR BIBLE 16:13 WORKERS, AH WE OWN A PRINTING COMPANY HERE IN 16:16 OUR CITY WHERE WE LIVE AND SO WE HAVE BEEN ABLE TO DO 16:20 SOME PRINTING, LAYOUT AND DESIGN ON SOME OF THE 16:22 THINGS FOR INDIA AND OVER THE YEARS, WE HAVE PRINTED 16:26 THOUSANDS OF PIECES OF LITERATURE THAT HAVE BEEN 16:29 REAL POSITIVE. 16:30 WE'VE PRINTED ACTUALLY WE PRINT THEM IN INDIA, IT IS 16:32 MUCH CHEAPER, AND WE DON'T HAVE THE FREIGHT COSTS BUT 16:36 THIS PARTICULAR PHOTO THAT IS ON THE SCREEN NOW IS 16:42 ACTUALLY JESUS WITH HIS ARMS STRETCHED OUT AND 16:49 JENKINS PAINTED THAT FOR US SPECIALLY. 16:51 OF COURSE, YOU CAN'T READ IT BUT IT'S JOHN 3:16 AND 16:57 UNDERNEATH IT SAYS, WELL, IT SAYS ABOVE JOHN 3:16 17:02 YOUR FREE GIFT AND THERE'S JOHN 3:16 AND WHY NOT 17:05 REDEEM IT IS AT THE BOTTOM IN BLUE, YOU CAN SEE. 17:10 WITH A QUESTION MARK. 17:12 YES, AND THEN YOU TURN IT OVER AND THERE IS 17:14 INSTRUCTIONS ON HOW TO REDEEM YOUR FREE GIFT. 17:17 OH. 17:18 AND THERE IS FOUR STEPS WITH A SIMPLE SAMPLE 17:21 PRAYER THAT THEY CAN PRAY AND ACCEPTING THE LORD AND 17:25 THEN HOW TO MAINTAIN THAT NEW RELATIONSHIP WITH 17:29 JESUS. 17:30 WE PRINTED THESE BY THE THOUSANDS AND WE JUST HAVE 17:33 A NEW PRINTING GOING IN VERY SOON THAT'S GOING TO 17:37 BE FILLED AND WE ARE DISTRIBUTING THESE 17:39 THROUGHOUT OUR REGION. 17:42 WONDERFUL, SO THE GOSPEL OUTREACH WORKERS THEN 17:45 HANDING THEM OUT AS THEY GO TO THE VILLAGES? 17:47 THAT'S RIGHT. 17:48 THEN WE HAVE ANOTHER ONE. 17:51 WE'VE DONE SEVERAL AND THIS ONE IS ON THE TEN 17:54 COMMANDMENTS, THE LAW AND HOW IMPORTANT THE LAW IS 17:57 TO GUIDE US IN YOUR LIFE AND MINE. 18:00 SO, IT HAS BEEN A BLESSING TO BE A PART OF THIS 18:04 PRINTING. 18:05 WELL, AND ESPECIALLY TO HAVE THEM IN THEIR OWN 18:07 LANGUAGE AND I UNDERSTAND THAT COMPLETELY BEING A 18:09 DRAMATIZED AUDIO BIBLE STORIES. 18:11 WE HAVE OUR STORIES IN MANY LANGUAGES NOW. 18:14 IT IS SO IMPORTANT FOR PEOPLE TO HEAR THE GOOD 18:17 NEWS AND THAT'S WHY IT IS SO IMPORTANT FOR THESE 18:19 GOSPEL OUTREACH WORKERS AS I SAID, THEY KNOW THE 18:21 LANGUAGE, THEY KNOW THE CUSTOMS, AND THEY KNOW THE 18:23 CULTURE AND ALL OF THAT. 18:24 THAT'S RIGHT. 18:26 THEY LOVE TO HAVE SOMETHING TO HAND OUT, 18:28 TOO. 18:29 AND I THINK THAT WE ARE REAL EXCITED ABOUT THE 18:31 VOICE OF PROPHECY STUDY GUIDES. 18:33 I THINK, YES, ONCE THEY GO THROUGH IT AND THEY GET A 18:37 TASTE OF WHAT THEY ARE LEARNING AND THE 18:39 LEADERSHIP IS GOING TO GO THROUGH THE LESSONS, THEY 18:43 CAN STUDY TOGETHER AND THEN THEY WILL HAVE A TOOL 18:46 AND LEARN AND EDUCATED TO GO OUT AND GIVE THE 18:48 LESSONS TO AH, PROBABLY UPPER-CLASS PEOPLE-MORE 18:53 BRAHMAN CASTE BUT AT LEAST LITERATE LEVEL OF PEOPLE 18:57 THERE. 19:00 BUT EVEN ON THE PRINTED MATERIAL THOUGH, EVEN FOR 19:02 SOMEONE WHO MIGHT BE ILLITERATE TO SEE THE 19:05 PICTURES AND TO ASK SOMEONE WHO CAN READ AND 19:09 THAT'S THE BEAUTIFUL THING ABOUT SOMETHING THAT IS 19:11 PRINTED THOUGH, BECAUSE YOU CAN LEAVE SOMETHING 19:14 BEHIND, YOU CAN SAY YOU KNOW WHAT YOU HAVE TO SAY 19:15 ABOUT THE LORD BUT THEN YOU HAVE SOMETHING TO 19:18 LEAVE AND THAT'S WHERE THE HOLY SPIRIT WORKS ON 19:21 SOMEONE'S HEART. 19:21 RIGHT. 19:22 WE HAVEN'T SEEN THEM. 19:24 THEY ARE UPLOADING THE FILES TO US BUT I 19:27 UNDERSTAND THEY ARE BEAUTIFUL COLORS AND SO 19:29 THEY WILL BE SOMETHING THAT WILL BE -WE'RE JUST 19:33 EXCITED THAT THEY ARE GOING TO HAVE THIS TOOL. 19:36 WONDERFUL. 19:37 WELL, PRAISE THE LORD FOR YOU FOLKS USING YOUR 19:38 EXPERTISE IN THE AREA OF PRINTING. 19:43 WE ALSO HAVE A COUPLE OF PHOTOS HERE OF RECENT 19:46 BAPTISMS UP IN ODISHA OR ORISSA AND WE HAVE A VERY 19:52 ACTIVE WORK FORCE UP THERE THAT'S SPREADING THE 19:56 GOSPEL AND WE WANT AT LEAST SHARE THESE TWO. 19:59 I THINK THEY'VE HAD NEARLY 100 BAPTISMS IN THE FOUR 20:02 CONFERENCES THAT WE HAVE JUST WITHIN THE LAST SIX 20:05 TO EIGHT MONTHS. 20:06 WOW. 20:07 AND SEEING ALL THOSE BEAUTIFUL LADIES IN THEIR 20:08 SARIS AS WE WERE LOOKING AT THE FLYER THAT YOU HAD 20:11 WITH ALL THE DIFFERENT COLORS AND THE COLORS OF 20:13 THE RAINBOW. 20:14 IT JUST -THIS PICTURE JUST BRINGS IT ALL TOGETHER. 20:18 AND ISN'T THIS FANTASTIC ABOUT WHAT THE LORD IS 20:21 DOING AND HOW PEOPLE ARE STILL MAKING A CHOICE FOR 20:24 JESUS? 20:25 THAT'S RIGHT, THAT'S RIGHT AND THIS IS AN AREA WHERE 20:28 THEY ARE REALLY PERSECUTED. 20:29 THESE PEOPLE THAT MAKE A STAND FOR JESUS UM, ARE 20:35 THEIR LIVES BECOME VERY, VERY DIFFICULT FOR THEM. 20:38 SO, WE NEED TO REALLY PRAY FOR THEM EVEN THOUGH WE 20:40 DON'T KNOW THEM PERSONALLY, WE NEED TO 20:42 PRAY FOR THEM. 20:43 WELL, AND WE CAN LOOK AT PICTURES LIKE THIS AND GO, 20:46 LORD THAT PICTURE IN ORSERS -THE WOMAN IN THE 20:49 YELLOW SARI IN ORSER'S PICTURE WOULD YOU PLEASE 20:52 PRAY FOR HER. 20:54 WE MIGHT NOT KNOW HER NAME BUT WE'VE SEEN THE PICTURE 20:56 AND WE CAN CERTAINLY PRAY FOR HER. 20:58 THAT'S RIGHT. 20:59 THIS PICTURE RIGHT HERE IS WHAT WE TALKED ABOUT THE 21:02 MAP. 21:03 I TOLD YOU IT WOULD MAKE YOU SMILE. 21:04 IT IS REALLY KIND OF VERY, UM, ARCHAIC REALLY BUT 21:10 THIS IS A WONDERFUL TOOL AGAIN FOR THE LEADERSHIP 21:15 TO KNOW WHERE THEY HAVE EVERYONE OF THEIR BIBLE 21:18 WORKERS WHERE THEY LIVE WITH A LITTLE HEART IN IT 21:21 ON ALL, I LIKE THE HEART, I SAW THAT BONNIE. 21:24 THAT'S THEIR HOME AND THEN UP ABOVE WITH THE LITTLE 21:27 CROSS ON THE TOP IS THE CHURCH AND SO WE ALL OF 21:31 THE MAP SHEETS AND WE HAVE THEM ACTUALLY, IN A BINDER 21:35 FOR EVERY SECTION WE HAD A PAGE AN 8 ½ X 11 PAGE AND 21:38 THEY DREW THIS MAP OUT AND THIS SHOWS YOU HOW CLOSE 21:42 THEY ARE TO EACH ONE. 21:43 EACH ONE OF THESE, THIS BIBLE WORKER HAS FIVE HOME 21:47 CHURCHES AND TELLS YOU HOW CLOSE THEY ARE AND WHAT 21:51 THE NAME OF THE VILLAGE IS AND THIS GIVES THE 21:54 LEADERSHIP A TOOL TO KNOW WHERE THEIR BIBLE WORKERS 21:57 ARE WORKING AND WHAT'S HAPPENING. 21:59 BUT I WANT TO HIGHLIGHT THIS. 22:02 SO, THERE IS THE HEART, I LOVE THAT, BUT LET'S LOOK 22:05 THAT'S FIFTEEN KILOMETERS GOING WEST, THAT'S 20 22:10 KILOMETERS GOING EAST, SOUTH WE HAVE WHAT? 22:13 FIVE KILOMETERS, FIFTEEN, THREE KILOMETERS I MEAN 22:16 THESE PEOPLE ARE MOVING AROUND. 22:19 YES, YES. 22:20 THEY ARE. 22:21 AND WE HAVE TRAINED, PART OF OUR TRAINING WHEN WE 22:24 WERE THERE LAST TIME AH, WE HAD SOMEONE AT GOSPEL 22:27 OUTREACH THAT GAVE US WONDERFUL CURRICULUM AND 22:31 SO IN THAT CURRICULUM IS HOW TO CONDUCT A HOME 22:34 CHURCH. 22:35 YOU DON'T JUST GO AND PRAY. 22:37 YOU GO AND YOU HAVE A SERVICE AND YOU MAY HAVE A 22:40 LITTLE FOOD, YOU HAVE A LITTLE SERMON PREPARED, 22:45 YOU SPEND TIME SOCIALIZING AND TAKING UP AN OFFERING 22:50 BUT YOU GO EVERY SINGLE WEEK AND SO THEY -IT WAS 22:55 REALLY FUN TO DO SOME TRAINING WITH THEM TO HAVE 22:59 A VERY SUCCESSFUL, VERY SUCCESSFUL UM, HOME 23:03 CHURCH. 23:04 I'VE BEEN TO SOME HOME CHURCHES IN THE 10/40 23:06 WINDOW UM, IN PLACES WHERE WE JUST PRAY THAT THE LORD 23:13 PROTECTS THESE DEAR PEOPLE AND PEOPLE COME AND THEY 23:17 SING AND THEY ARE INVOLVED AND IT IS EXCITING. 23:20 YES, YES. 23:21 DEL WENT TO A HOME CHURCH YEARS AGO, A FEW YEARS 23:24 BACK UP IN THE ORISSA AREA AND IT WAS VERY, VERY 23:28 EXCITING. 23:28 HE SAID IT WAS JUST TRULY A BLESSING. 23:31 THOSE PEOPLE UM, REALLY LOVE THAT CHRISTIAN 23:34 FELLOWSHIP AND IT'S VERY SUPPORTIVE FOR
