EARLY 02:56 ON, THE LORD IMPRESSED UPON MY HEART THAT WE NEED 03:00 A PLACE WHERE FOREIGN MISSION VIDEO CONTENT IS 03:05 THE FOCUS AND SO YOU KNOW, YOUTUBE IS GREAT BUT THERE 03:08 ARE SO MANY DIFFERENT DISTRACTIONS ON YOUTUBE 03:10 AND SO WE HAVE BEEN BLESSED AND WE'VE BEEN 03:14 ABLE TO LAUNCH AN ON DEMAND STREAMING SERVICE 03:17 CALLED "GOTV MISSIONS" AND YOU CAN GET THIS ON A 03:21 SMART TV, ANY SMART TV YOU CAN GET THIS ON YOUR 03:25 ANDROID OR YOUR IPHONE. 03:27 YOU CAN GOTVMISSIONS.ORG AND YOU CAN WATCH 03:30 ADVENTIST AFFILIATED ORGANIZATION VIDEO 03:33 CONTENT. 03:34 SO, WHAT ARE SOME OF THE ORGANIZATIONS THAT WE CAN 03:36 FIND THERE? 03:37 AH, WE HAVE ADVENTIST WORLD RADIO ON THERE. 03:39 WE HAVE ASAP. 03:40 OF COURSE, GOSPEL OUTREACH. 03:42 UM, CHILD IMPACT JUST TO NAME A FEW. 03:44 WE HAVE TEN ORGANIZATIONS THAT ARE ACTUALLY ON 03:47 THERE. 03:47 GOOD, GOOD. 03:48 SO, IT IS KIND OF A ONE STOP SHOP MISSION 03:49 SPOTLIGHT WHERE YOU CAN LIKE GO AND YOU KNOW THAT 03:53 YOU CAN FIND ALL OF THIS IN ONE SPOT. 03:55 EXACTLY AND IT'S NOT, YOU KNOW, WE DON'T -GOSPEL-WE 03:57 DON'T LOOK AT THIS AS A COMPETITION, RIGHT? 03:59 WE'RE ALL WORKING TOWARDS THE SAME GOAL, YES, PREACH 04:02 IT. 04:03 AND WHAT'S AMAZING IS THAT EVERY ORGANIZATION BRINGS 04:04 SOMETHING DIFFERENT TO THE TABLE, YOU KNOW. 04:06 WHAT GOSPEL OUTREACH DOES IS REALLY COMPLETELY 04:09 DIFFERENT THAN WHAT CHILD IMPACT DOES OR WHAT AWR 04:12 DOES OR ANY OF THESE OTHER ORGANIZATIONS SO, LET'S 04:15 CREATE A PLACE FOR THIS VIDEO CONTENT TO BE HOSTED 04:18 AND YOU CHOOSE WHAT YOU WANT TO WATCH, WHEN YOU 04:20 WANT TO WATCH AND YOU CAN BE INSPIRED BY THE WORK 04:23 BEING DONE AROUND THE WORLD. 04:24 RIGHT. 04:25 WELL, AND IT IS HELPFUL NOW WITH LIKE YOU SAID, SO 04:26 MANY DISTRACTIONS THAT WHEN I GO TO YOUTUBE I'M 04:29 TRYING TO LOOK AT SOMETHING OF HOW TO FIX MY 04:30 COMPUTER OR WHATEVER AND THEN I FIND MYSELF ALL 04:34 AROUND THE WORLD ON ALL THESE DIFFERENT TOPICS SO 04:35 I THINK THAT'S GREAT. 04:37 I THINK IT'S A LITTLE CAR HEADSTOP. 04:38 YES, EXACTLY. 04:39 EXACTLY. 04:40 SO, YOU'VE BEEN WORKING WITH THAT HERE AT GOSPEL 04:41 OUTREACH AND ALSO HELPING WITH "ADVENTURES IN 04:43 MISSIONS", SOCIAL MEDIA AND HOW LONG HAVE YOU TWO 04:46 BEEN MARRIED? 04:47 AH, OVER 3 ½ YEARS. 04:50 OK, ALRIGHT, ALRIGHT. 04:52 AND MISSION HAS A SPECIAL PLACE IN YOUR HEART TOO, 04:54 RIGHT LEXI? 04:55 YES, YES IT DOES. 04:56 I'VE BEEN AROUND IT PRETTY MUCH ALL MY LIFE UM, MY 05:00 DAD WAS BORN OVER IN AFRICA. 05:04 MY PARENTS MET AS STUDENT MISSIONARIES. 05:06 IT'S JUST KIND OF BEEN A HUGE FOCUS OF MY LIFE. 05:09 OUR CHURCH IS ALSO BEEN AH, MISSION HAS BEEN A BIG 05:13 FOCUS IN MY HOME CHURCH. 05:14 SO, UM YES, IT IS SOMETHING THAT I'VE ALWAYS 05:18 ENJOYED AND ALWAYS WANTED TO DO UM, THROUGHOUT MY 05:23 LIFE. 05:24 WELL AND NOW YOU HAVE THIS OPPORTUNITY SO, YOU ARE 05:27 WE'RE TALKING ABOUT THE SUPER TRIP SO, YOU HAVE AN 05:29 OPPORTUNITIY TO GO TO THE 10/40 WINDOW AND OUR 10'40 05:34 WINDOW IS FROM TEN TO FORTY DEGREES NORTH OF THE 05:36 EQUATOR AND FROM WEST AFRICA ALL THE WAY THROUGH 05:38 THE MIDDLE EAST AND ASIA. 05:40 AND, WHAT IS YOUR PLAN ON BEHALF OF GOSPEL OUTREACH? 05:44 WELL, ON OCTOBER 9TH WE'RE LEAVING FOR A SIX-MONTH 05:49 TRIP OVERSEAS WITH GOSPEL OUTREACH AND OUR GOAL IS 05:51 TO BRING TO LIGHT SOME OF THE AMAZING THINGS THAT 05:53 ARE HAPPENING IN THE 10/40 WINDOW AND SO, WE ARE 05:54 GOING TO BE FILMING A SHOW. 05:55 WE'RE ALSO GOING TO BE HOSTING THAT SHOW AND SO 05:56 THIS IS GOING TO BE VERY DIFFERENT, VERY DIFFERENT 05:58 COMPARED TO ANY OTHER SHOW THAT IS REALLY OUT THERE 05:59 RIGHT NOW IN THIS SPECIFIC FIELD, I WOULD SAY. 06:01 AND SO, WE'RE GOING TO BE VISITING FIVE DIFFERENT 06:02 COUNTRIES IN THAT SIX MONTHS AND YES, WE'RE JUST 06:03 GOING TO BE STORYTELLING. 06:04 AND SHOWING THE DONORS WHERE THEIR MONEY IS GOING 06:05 BECAUSE PEOPLE DESERVE TO SEE HOW THE MONEY IS 06:07 IMPACTING THE PEOPLE AROUND THE WORLD. 06:08 ABSOLUTELY. 06:09 SO, YOUR SHOW WILL BE IN ADDITION WHAT WE DO HERE 06:36 AT "ADVENTURES IN MISSIONS" WHEN WE ARE 06:37 TALKING ABOUT THE REGIONAL DIRECTORS SO YOU ARE GOING 06:39 TO BE ACTUALLY BOOTS ON THE GROUND IN THE 10/40 06:42 WINDOW FOR AN EXTENDED TIME AND TO BE ABLE TO 06:46 COMMUNICATE THAT AND WELL, LEXI, WHAT YOU'VE SAID 06:48 IS,YOU KNOW, AS CHRISTIANS WHEN WE HAVE ACCEPTED 06:51 JESUS UM, IN OUR HEARTS, UM WE'RE MISSIONARIES NO 06:55 MATTER WHERE WE ARE BUT IT JUST SO HAPPENS TO BE THAT 06:57 HERE AT GOSPEL OUTREACH WE'RE FOCUSING ON THIS 07:00 SPECIFIC. 07:01 SO, WE HAVE SOME VIDEO. 07:03 SO, AARON WHY DON'T YOU INTRODUCE THIS FIRST VIDEO 07:05 TO SHARE WITH THE VIEWERS ON YOUR NEW SHOW. 07:08 WELL, IT'S EXCITING BECAUSE AS YOU ARE 07:11 WATCHING THIS EPISODE RIGHT NOW, UM, THE FIRST 07:14 PILOT EPISODE IS LIVE AND SO UM, YOU CAN GO ON "GOTV 07:19 MISSIONS" RIGHT NOW AND YOU CAN WATCH THE VERY 07:21 FIRST EPISODE BUT WE'RE JUST GOING TO SHOW YOU A 07:23 FEW CLIPS FROM THE FIRST EPISODE. 07:25 SO, THIS FIRST CLIP IS JUST SORT OF THE VERY 07:27 BEGINNING OF THE EPISODE THE FIRST THREE MINUTES. 07:30 OK. 07:30 AND YES, WE HOPE THAT YOU ENJOY. 07:32 ALRIGHT LET'S GO. 07:33 (VIDEO PLAYING) GOSPEL OUTREACH IS AN 07:59 ORGANIZATION THAT I FIRST FOUND OUT ABOUT FIVE YEARS 08:02 AGO AND WHEN I HEARD ABOUT GOSPEL OUTREACH ONE OF THE 08:05 THINGS THAT REALLY CAUGHT MY ATTENTION WAS THE FACT 08:08 THAT IT IS PRIMARILY VOLUNTEER. 08:10 THIS MEANS THAT WHEN YOU DONATE A DOLLAR TO THIS 08:14 ORGANIZATION AT LEAST 97 CENTS OF YOUR DONATION 08:18 GOES DIRECTLY TO SUPPORTING WORK. 08:21 DIRECTLY TO THE SPREADING OF THE GOSPEL IN A REMOTE 08:25 VILLAGE SOMEWHERE AROUND THE WORLD AND THAT REALLY 08:28 IS EXCITING TO ME. 08:30 (MUSIC PLAYING). 08:59 SO, FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO ARE WATCHING THIS THAT 09:01 ALREADY KNOW ME, THIS ACTUALLY MIGHT COME AS 09:03 SHOCK TO YOU BUT EVER SINCE I WAS YOUNG SITTING 09:06 STILL HAS NEVER BEEN MY STRONGEST QUALITY. 09:08 (MUSIC). 09:24 SO, FOR MOUNTAINEERING TO ROCK CLIMBING, BACKPACKING 09:27 AND RUNNING I HAVE ALWAYS DESIRED TO STAY ACTIVE 09:31 ESPECIALLY IN THE OUTDOORS. 09:33 SO, WHEN IT CAME TO TRAVEL I JUST FELL IN LOVE WITH 09:36 VISITING NEW PLACES, SEEING NEW THINGS AND 09:39 EXPLORING. 09:40 WE ARE IN SOME TOWN IN THE SWISS ALPS. 10:01 THAT'S OUR TRAIN. 10:08 I DON'T WANT TO MISS IT. 10:22 (MUSIC). 10:25 HERE'S THE THING, FOR ME IT DIDN'T TAKE LONG TO 10:29 REALIZE THAT TRAVEL HAS NO MEANING UNLESS YOU ARE 10:32 TRAVELING FOR A PURPOSE AND SO THAT'S WHERE GOSPEL 10:35 OUTREACH CAME IN AND FILLED A HOLE IN MY LIFE. 10:38 SO, THAT WAS FUN. 10:41 SURE. 10:41 I ENJOYED THAT. 10:42 SO, TELL ME WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN JUST 10:45 GOING ON VACATION AND TRAVELING VERSUS WHAT YOU 10:48 GUYS ARE GOING TO BE DOING? 10:50 WELL, I'VE DONE A LOT OF TRAVELING AND FOR ME 10:53 PERSONALLY, THERE IS A CERTAIN POINT WHERE YOU 10:55 REALIZE YOU LOOK AROUND, YOU SEE ALL THESE TOURISTS 10:58 DOING ALL THE SAME THINGS AND YOU JUST-IT JUST FEELS 11:00 EXTREMELY MEANINGLESS. 11:02 AT LEAST THAT'S HOW I FEEL ABOUT IT. 11:04 I MEAN, WHEN YOU ARE ABLE TO TRAVEL AND YOU ARE 11:06 ACTUALLY ABLE TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE IT'S SO MUCH 11:08 MORE REWARDING AND YOU KNOW, WE WERE TALKING 11:10 ABOUT MISSIONS AND THE FACT THAT YOU CAN BE A 11:12 MISSIONARY WHEREVER YOU ARE. 11:14 I THINK THAT OFTEN TIMES FOREIGN MISSIONS IS 11:18 ROMANTICIZED. 11:19 THE IDEA OF GETTING ON A PLANE AND FLYING OVER TO 11:21 SOME FOREIGN COUNTRY IT SOUNDS EXCITING BUT THE 11:24 REALITY IS THAT WE'RE GOING TO BE ENTERING INTO 11:27 PLACES WHERE IT SEEMS AS IF THE DEVIL IS IN FULL 11:30 CONTROL AND ANYBODY WHO HAS DONE FOREIGN MISSION 11:33 WORK KNOWS THAT EVERY SINGLE DAY THERE IS A NEW 11:35 CHALLENGE. 11:36 OH, ABSOLUTELY. 11:37 AND THE BIBLE IS FULL OF THESE STORIES AND I SIT 11:40 HERE AND I HEAR THE STORIES ABOUT WELL, JUST 11:44 WE WERE JUST IN BANGLADESH ON ANOTHER EPISODE AND HOW 11:48 THE DEVIL IS WORKING STILL, LIKE YOU SAID IN 11:51 ALL OF OUR LIVES BUT THE STORIES OF THE BIBLE IN 11:54 THE 10/40 WINDOW THEY COME ALIVE WITH UM, THE THINGS 11:57 THAT THEY ARE DEALING WITH THAT MAYBE IN OUR WESTERN 12:01 WORLD WE THINK, OH REALLY? 12:02 PEOPLE ARE BOWING DOWN TO A ROCK IN THE VILLAGE BUT 12:06 THAT IS REALITY FOR A LOT OF THESE PEOPLE SO YOU ARE 12:09 RIGHT. 12:10 YOU ARE RIGHT. 12:11 BUT IF GOD'S WITH US WHO CAN BE AGAINST US? 12:12 ABSOLUTELY. 12:13 OK AND THERE IS A VERSE THAT'S IMPORTANT TO YOU. 12:15 YES, JOSHUA 1:9. 12:17 I REALLY APPRECIATE THAT VERSE. 12:18 YES, SO JOSHUA 1:9 DO YOU KNOW IT BY HEART? 12:22 SHOULD I READ IT HERE. 12:22 READ IT. 12:24 "HAVE I NOT COMMANDED YOU BE STRONG AND COURAGEOUS. 12:26 DO NOT BE AFRAID. 12:27 DO NOT BE DISCOURAGED FOR THE LORD YOUR GOD IS WITH 12:30 YOU WHEREVER YOU GO." 12:31 ALSO, VERY IMPORTANT TO ME I HAVE THAT ACTUALLY 12:33 FRAMED IN MY OFFICE AND WHEN I WENT AS A STUDENT 12:36 MISSIONARY WITH PAULINE AND JOELLE BARNETT. 12:38 THEY WENT OUT AS MISSIONARIES IN 1940 AND 12:41 THAT WAS THE VERSE THAT SHE HAD UNDERLINED HER 12:44 BIBLE AND SO WHEN YOU SHARED THAT, WOW, THAT'S A 12:47 SPECIAL VERSE. 12:48 SO, TRAVEL FOR YOU LEXI, YOU'VE SERVED UM OVERSEAS 12:51 AS WELL AND SO, WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN LIKE 12:55 WHAT AARON WAS SAYING JUST GOING ON A TRIP. 12:58 WELL, I HAVEN'T ACTUALLY DONE A WHOLE LOT OF JUST 13:00 TRAVEL JUST FOR TRAVEL SAKE. 13:02 MOST OF MY OVERSEAS TRAVEL HAS BEEN FOR MISSIONS 13:06 WHICH IS SOMETHING THAT I AM PASSIONATE ABOUT. 13:09 UM, AND HAVE ALWAYS ENJOYED BUT IT IS SO MUCH 13:12 MORE REWARDING WHEN YOU DO IT FOR A PURPOSE. 13:16 SO, YOU SHARED A LITTLE BIT ABOUT WHAT YOU DO AND 13:19 WE HAVE SOME VIDEO TO SHARE A LITTLE BIT MORE. 13:22 DO YOU WANT TO INTRODUCE IT? 13:23 UM, YES, IT'S OUR SCENE FROM OUR VIDEO OF MY LAST 13:30 SHIFT AT THE AMBULANCE SERVICE WHERE I USED TO 13:33 WORK. 13:34 JUST KIND OF SHOWS A LITTLE BIT OF WHAT I DO. 13:37 ALRIGHT, LET'S LOOK AT IT. 13:38 (VIDEO PLAYING). 13:59 HI LADY. 14:00 HI. 14:01 THIS IS A LOT FANCIER THAN MY OFFICE TO BE COMPLETELY 14:04 HONEST WITH YOU. 14:05 THERE IS A LOT MORE EQUIPMENT IN HERE THAN IN 14:09 YOUR OFFICE. 14:12 ALRIGHT, HOP ON UP. 14:16 AH, TODAY IS LEXI'S LAST DAY UM HERE AT THE FIRE 14:25 DEPARTMENT. 14:27 TAKING YOUR VITALS MAKING SURE THAT YOU ARE CLEARED 14:29 FOR THE TRIP. 14:30 OH YES. 14:30 I HOPE THAT I'M CLEARED FOR DUTY. 14:38 SO, WHAT DO YOU KNOW YOU HAVE GREAT VITALS. 14:39 OH, GETTING A CALL NOW. 14:48 YES. 14:49 I GOTTA GO. 14:54 LOVE YOU. 14:55 LOVE YOU. 14:56 SEE YOU LATER. 14:56 OK. 14:57 (MUSIC PLAYING). 15:10 WELL, IT'S GOING TO BE AWHILE BEFORE YOU DRIVE AN 15:24 AMBULANCE, I'D SAY. 15:25 YES, IT IS I'M GOING TO MISS IT THOUGH. 15:27 AND I'M SURE THAT THEY'RE GOING TO BE TIMES IN THE 15:30 NEXT SIX MONTHS WHERE YOU WISH OH, I WISH I HAD THAT 15:33 ANTISEPTIC OR THAT, OH YES. 15:35 I'M SURE. 15:36 THAT SOMETHING, YES. 15:38 I WISH I COULD BRING A WHOLE MEDICAL KIT WITH ME 15:39 BUT WE JUST DON'T HAVE ROOM. 15:41 SO, WHAT'S THE-WHAT DO YOU LIKE BEST ABOUT WHAT YOU 15:45 DO, LEXI? 15:46 I THINK WHAT I LIKE THE MOST IS JUST IT IS NEVER 15:48 THE SAME. 15:49 IT IS ALWAYS SOMETHING DIFFERENT, ALWAYS 15:50 SOMETHING NEW AND I GET TO HELP PEOPLE WHEN THEY'RE 15:53 AT THEIR WORST. 15:54 YOU KNOW THEY ARE FREAKED OUT, THEY'RE SCARED, THEY 15:56 ARE HURTING AND I GET TO COME IN AND BE THAT 15:59 COMFORT FOR THEM IN OUR SHORT TIME TOGETHER. 16:02 THE HOLY SPIRIT IS WITH YOU AND YOU ARE ABLE TO DO 16:05 THAT SO PRAISE THE LORD. 16:06 AND WE WANT TO SAY THANK YOU FOR BEING A PART OF 16:09 THE FAMILY HERE AT GOSPEL OUTREACH AND WE WANT TO 16:11 ENCOURAGE YOU THAT YOU CAN GET INVOLVED AND HELP AS 16:15 TOGETHER WE SHARE JESUS IN THE 10/40 WINDOW. 16:17 EARTH, VAST, BEAUTIFUL BUT TAKE A CLOSER LOOK AND YOU 16:24 CAN SEE THE PAIN OF A WORLD ON A COLLISION 16:29 COURSE WITH ITS OWN GREED. 16:32 HUMANITY NEED LOVE. 16:35 WE NEED HOPE. 16:37 WE NEED A SAVIOR. 16:41 MORE THAN ONE THIRD OF THE WORLDS SEVEN BILLION 16:44 PEOPLE STILLNEED TO HEAR ABOUT GOD'S LOVE AND HIS 16:48 PLAN TO SAVE US. 16:49 ONE THIRD IN SUCH A BIG WORLD, IT'S EASY TO FEEL 16:56 SMALL BUT YOU CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE. 16:59 PARTNER WITH GOSPEL OUTREACH TO FUND BIBLE 17:02 WORKES WHO ARE MISSIONARIES IN THEIR OWN 17:04 VILLAGES, TOWNS AND CITIES. 17:07 THEY SHARE THE LIFE CHANGING LOVE IN THE STORY 17:14 OF JESUS CHRIST. 17:16 THANK YOU FOR GIVING. 17:18 TOGETHER WE CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE SO THAT ALL THE 17:25 WORLD MAY KNOW JESUS. 17:28 AND IT SAYS ALL THE WORLD, NOT JUST A LITTLE BIT OF 17:31 THE WORLD BUT ALL THE WORLD SO THANK YOU SO MUCH 17:33 FOR PARTNERING WITH US AND THANK YOU FOR GOING ON 17:36 LINE TO "GOTV MISSIONS" AND ONE STOP SHOP FOR 17:40 EXCITING MISSION STORIES ON LINE. 17:42 SO, WE WANT TO SHARE THAT WITH YOU. 17:44 SO, LEXI AND AARON RITTENHOUR ARE HERE AND WE 17:48 ARE TALKING ABOUT THE NEW SHOW AND WHAT'S THE NAME 17:51 OF IT AGAIN? 17:52 DESTINATION 10/40. 17:53 ABSOLUTELY. 17:54 SO, WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING FORWARD TO THE MOST ABOUT 17:56 THIS TRIP? 17:58 I THINK THAT FOR ME UH, WE HAVE BEEN VERY CLEAR WITH 18:03 ALL OF THE TRANSLATORS THAT WE'VE LINED UP THAT 18:06 WE DON'T WANT TO BE VISITING THESE VILLAGES 18:08 FOR A FEW HOURS, WE WANT TO ACTUALLY LIVE WITH THE 18:13 PEOPLE. 18:14 BECAUSE THERE IS NO POSSIBLE WAY THAT YOU CAN 18:18 REALLY CAPTURE HOW THE LORD HAS CHANGED THE LIVES 18:22 OF PEOPLE UNLESS YOU CAN SPEND TIME WITH THEM. 18:25 AND SO, WE'RE GOING TO BE STAYING WITH THESE PEOPLE 18:27 FOR TWO OR THREE DAYS IN THEIR VILLAGES TO BE ABLE 18:30 TO CAPTURE THAT AND TO SPEND TIME AND TO WORK 18:32 WITH THEM. 18:33 I WANT TO GO INTO THE FIELD WITH THE PEOPLE AND 18:35 I WANT TO SEE WHAT THEY DO FROM DAY TO DAY AND I 18:37 THINK THAT'S REALLY IMPORTANT FOR PEOPLE TO 18:39 SEE. 18:40 IT'S REALLY HARD FOR US TO BE ABLE TO CONNECT AND 18:44 UNDERSTAND WHAT LIFE IS LIKE IN A THIRD WORLD 18:47 COUNTRY LIKE OVER IN INDIA. 18:49 AND SO, TO BE ABLE TO ACTUALLY SEE THAT I THINK 18:51 THAT HELPS TO CREATE A BOND AND A CONNECTION 18:54 BETWEEN, YOU KNOW, OUR WORLD AND WHERE WE'RE FROM 18:57 AND WHERE THEY ARE FROM. 18:58 RIGHT. 18:59 HOW ABOUT YOU LEXI? 19:00 WELL, I MEAN HE PRETTY MUCH COVERED IT BUT YES, 19:03 JUST SEEING HOW THEY LIVE, HOW THEY WORK, THE 19:06 CHALLENGES THAT THEY HAVE TO DEAL WITH DAY AFTER DAY 19:09 AFTER DAY AND BEING ABLE TO SHOW THAT TO OUR 19:11 DONORS. 19:12 THIS IS WHY WE DO THE WORK THAT WE DO. 19:15 YES, AND I'M CURIOUS ABOUT THE KIDS. 19:17 I WANT TO KNOW WHAT'S GOING ON WITH THE KIDS AND 19:20 HOW WE ARE SHARING JESUS WITH THE KIDS AND HOW WE 19:22 ARE REACHING THEM BECAUSE I KNOW I'VE BEEN TO 19:25 COUNTRIES IN THE 10/40 WINDOW WHERE KIDS ARE NOT 19:28 SUPPOSED TO BE AT CHURCH. 19:30 THERE IS AN AGE RESTRICTION AND ALL OF 19:33 THAT SO, THAT'S WHAT I'M INTERESTED IN IN HAVING 19:36 YOU GUYS. 19:37 SO, WHAT'S A CHALLENGE THAT YOU BOTH HAVE THOUGHT 19:39 ABOUT? 19:40 OH, THERE ARE PROBABLY QUITE A FEW CHALLENGES. 19:43 WITHOUT THE LORD IT WILL BE A DISASTER IF IT IS 19:48 JUST US. 19:49 I THINK THAT ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE HAVE TALKED 19:52 ABOUT WANTING TO DO FROM THE VERY START IS WE'RE 19:54 GOING TO BE RELEASING THESE EPISODES BASICALLY 19:57 IN REAL TIME. 19:57 GOOD. 19:59 BECAUSE WE WANT YOU TO BE ABLE TO FOLLOW ALONG AS WE 20:00 TRAVEL AND SO WE'RE GOING TO BE RELEASING THEM 20:04 REGULARLY. 20:05 ONE PER MONTH AND SO WE'RE GOING TO BE FILMING AND 20:08 THEN WE'LL BE EDITING AND THEN WE'LL BE SENDING 20:11 THOSE OFF TO GET APPROVED AND TO GET SENT OUT TO ALL 20:14 OF THE, YOU KNOW, TELEVISION STATIONS AND 20:16 GOTV MISSIONS. 20:17 GOOD, GOOD. 20:18 WE LOOK FORWARD TO IT. 20:19 OK, SO WE HAVE ONE MORE VIDEO TO SHARE AND IT IS 20:22 ABOUT YOUR ITINERARY SO LET'S TAKE A PEEK. 20:25 (VIDEO PLAYING). 20:26 OK, SO HERE'S THE PLAN ON OCTOBER 9 WE'RE LEAVING 20:28 FOR THE COUNTRY OF NEPAL. 20:29 NOW NEPAL HAS A POPULATION OF OVER 30 MILLION WITH 20:34 ONLY 1.4 PER CENT OF CHRISTIANS AS OF 2011. 20:38 JUST OVER 9000 OF THOSE CHRISTIANS ARE SEVENTH DAY 20:41 ADVENTISTS. 20:42 WITH ONLY SIX ORDAINED ADVENTIST PASTORS IN THE 20:44 WHOLE COUNTRY OF NEPAL, OUR 56 GOSPEL OUTREACH 20:48 BIBLE WORKERS HAVE PLAYED A CRUCIAL ROLE IN THE 20:51 SPREADING OF THE GOSPEL THROUGHOUT NEPAL AND THE 20:53 STARTING OF MANY HOME CHURCHES. 20:55 FROM THERE WE MAKE OUR WAY TO ONE OF MY FAVORITE 20:58 COUNTRIES, INDIA. 21:00 ALTHOUGH WORKING IN INDIA HAS POSED MANY CHALLENGES 21:02 IN THE PAST GOSPEL OUTREACH HAS OVER 1200 21:06 BIBLE WORKERS SCATTERED THROUGHOUT THIS BEAUTIFUL 21:08 COUNTRY. 21:09 THIS IS BY FAR THE MOST WORKERS THAT GOSPEL 21:12 OUTREACH HAS IN A SINGLE COUNTRY. 21:14 DUE TO GOSPEL OUTREACH'S GREAT PRESENCE IN INDIA, 21:17 WE WILL MOST LIKELY BE SPENDING TWO MONTHS IN 21:19 THIS COUNTRY. 21:21 NEXT, WE ARE GOING TO VISIT THE PHILIPINES WHERE 21:23 WE ARGUABLY FIND SOME OF OUR MOST DEDICATED AND 21:26 DEVOTED BIBLE WORKERS IN THE 10/40 WINDOW. 21:28 A LARGE MAJORITY OF OUR BIBLE WORKERS IN THE 21:31 PHILIPINES ACTUALLY SPEAK ENGLISH WHICH WILL COME IN 21:34 VERY HANDY FOR US IN COMMUNICATING AND STAYING 21:37 WITH THEM IN THEIR TOWNS AND VILLAGES. 21:39 LEXI HAS THE MOST EXPERIENCE IN THAILAND 21:41 BETWEEN THE BOTH OF US. 21:42 THAILAND IS AN ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL COUNTRY WITH 21:46 VERY KIND AND HUMBLE PEOPLE. 21:48 WE ARE REALLY LOOKING FORWARD TO WORKING IN 21:50 NORTHERN THAILAND WHERE OUR PRIMARY FOCUS RIGHT 21:53 NOW IS REACHING CHINESE REFUGEES. 21:55 BANGLADESH WILL BE A VERY EXCITING COUNTRY TO VISIT. 21:59 JOHN DUROE HAS BEEN VOLUNTEERING WITH GOSPEL 22:02 OUTREACH FOR MANY YEARS. 22:04 JOHN HAS A VERY UNIQUE TALENT FOR TELLING STORIES 22:07 AND IF YOU ALREADY ANYTHING ABOUT GOSPEL 22:10 OUTREACH, YOU HAVE PROBABLY ALREADY SEEN MANY 22:12 OF JOHN'S PRODUCED VIDEOS FROM THE COUNTRY OF 22:16 BANGLADESH. 22:17 LEXI AND I ARE REALLY LOOKING FORWARD TO 22:18 VISITING SOME OF THE LOCATIONS THAT WE HAVE 22:21 ACTUALLY SEEN IN JOHN'S VIDEOS. 22:23 PAPUA INDONESIA IS THE FINAL COUNTRY ON OUR 22:27 ITINERARY. 22:28 SURPRISINGLY, THE PROVINCE OF PAPUA HAS A LARGE 22:32 PERCENTAGE OF CLASSIFIED CHRISTIANS ACCORDING TO 22:35 THE GOVERNMENT. 22:36 BUT MANY OF THEM HAVE NO IDEA WHAT A CHRISTIAN 22:39 REALLY IS. 22:40 PAPUA IS ONE OF THE MOST REMOTE PLACES WHERE WE 22:43 HAVE BIBLE WORKERS. 22:44 WITH STORIES OF KILLINGS AND CANNIBALISM TAKING 22:47 PLACE IN THIS AREA, EVEN AS RECENT AS THE LATE 22:52 1960'S THIS PLACE IS TRULY SEEING A TRANSFORMATION 22:56 THROUGH THE WORK OF OUR BIBLE WORKERS. 23:00 I'M SO EXCITED FOR YOU GUYS AND WHAT THE LORD'S 23:03 GOING TO DO AND WE LOOK FORWARD TO HEARING YOUR 23:05 STORIES AND TELL US ABOUT FUNDING AND ALL OF THAT. 23:09 WELL, OUR GOAL IS TO RAISE $100,000 FROM THIS TRIP. 23:13 IT WOULD BE GREAT IF WE COULD RAISE MORE BUT 23:15 THAT'S THE NUMBER THAT WE ARE SHOOTING FOR AND SO, 23:18 WE'RE ASKING PEOPLE THAT IF THEY WANT TO DONATE TO 23:20 GOSPEL OUTREACH AND THEY'VE SEEN THIS SHOW AND 23:23 THEY'RE DONATING FROM SEEING THE SHOW IF THEY 23:25 CAN PUT IN THE COMMENT BOX ON THE CHECK OR WHEN THEY 23:28 DONATE ON LINE JUST PUT IN THE LITTLE COMMENT BOX 23:31 "DESTINATION 10/40" THAT WILL HELP US TO BE ABLE TO 23:34 KEEP TRACK OF THE RAISING OF THAT $100,000. 23:38 YES, ABSOLUTELY. 23:40 AND ALSO, YOU'RE GOING TO BE POSTIING ON FACEBOOK. 23:43 YES. 23:44 INSTAGRAM, YES. 23:45 SO, TELL US A LITTLE ABOUT THAT. 23:47 YES, GOSPEL OUTREACH FACEBOOK AND INSTAGRAM 23:49 WE'LL BE SHARING ON THERE SO YOU CAN DEFINITELY 23:51 FOLLOW ALONG THERE. 23:52 YES, I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO SHORT VIDEOS AND YOU 23:54 KNOW IT IS SO FUNNY BECAUSE WE ALL LOVE THESE 23:56 SHORT LITTLE REELS AND ALL OF THAT SO I'M REALLY 23:58 EXCITED. 23:59 YES. 24:00 SO, WHAT. 24:01 OK, WE'VE TALKED ABOUT FUNDING AND UM IN MATTHEW 24:04 28 IT SAYS, JESUS SAYS TO, "GO AND MAKE DISCIPLES" 24:07 AND GOSPEL OUTREACH ACRONYM IS "GO" SO THAT'S 24:11 WHAT YOU TWO ARE BOTH DOING AND WHAT CAN WE DO 24:14 VIEWERS AND ALL OF US, WHAT CAN WE DO BE 24:16 SUPPORTIVE OF YOU? 24:17 WELL, PRAY FOR US. 24:18 IT'S GOING TO BE A BIG CHALLENGE. 24:20 KEEP US IN YOUR PRAYERS THAT'S THE MAIN THING. 24:25 YES. 24:26 I JUST WANT TO SAY THAT I HAVE SUCH A BURDEN FOR -I 24:31 THINK THAT EVERYBODY CAN BE INVOLVED IN SOME WAY 24:33 AND EVERYBODY SHOULD BE INVOLVED IN SOME WAY. 24:35 THIS IS WHAT KEEPS THE SPARK ALIVE. 24:37 THE FOREIGN MISSIONS IS SORT OF THE HEARTBEAT OF 24:40 THE ADVENTIST CHURH IN MY OPINION AND SO, YOU KNOW 24:42 YOU MAY NOT BE ABLE TO GO TO SOME FOREIGN COUNTRY 24:46 FOR SIX MONTHS BUT YOU KNOW YOU CAN PRAY FOR 24:48 THESE PEOPLE. 24:49 YOU KNOW, YOU CAN DONATE. 24:50 YOU CAN PRAY. 24:51 BUT THE OTHER THING TOO IS YOU CAN GET INVOLVED IN 24:53 YOUR OWN CHURCH. 24:54 GET INVOLVED IN YOUR OWN CHURCH. 24:56 YOU CAN BE A MISSIONARY WHEREVER YOU ARE AND SO, 24:59 GET OUT THERE AND MAKE A DIFFERENCE. 25:01 DON'T WAIT. 25:02 DON'T WAIT FOR THE OPPORTUNE MOMENT TO BECOME 25:04 A MISSIONARY BECAUSE NOW IS THE TIME TO DO THE WORK 25:07 AND TO SPREAD THE GOSPEL NO MATTER WHERE YOU ARE. 25:10 YES, I AGREE. 25:11 LEXI, YES WHAT HE SAID. 25:12 NO, IT'S TRUE AND I CALL IT THAT GOD GIVES US THE 25:15 HOOK TO HOOK ON. 25:17 ARE WE GOING TO HOOK ON ARE WE GOING TO HOLD THE 25:20 DOOR FOR SOMEBODY? 25:21 ARE WE GOING TO SMILE AT SOMEBODY BECAUSE THAT 25:23 MIGHT BE THE BIBLE STUDY THAT YOU HAVE WITH 25:25 SOMEBODY THAT DAY BECAUSE I WAS HEARING SOMEONE AND 25:28 THEY SAID THAT I LIKE THIS, THEY SOMEONE MIGHT 25:31 NOT REMEMBER WHAT YOU SAID TO THEM, BUT THEY WILL 25:33 REMEMBER HOW YOU MADE THEM FEEL? 25:34 AND I THINK AS CHRISTIANS WE CAN DO THAT. 25:37 UM, IN A WAY THAT'S POWERFUL FOR THE LORD. 25:39 SO, I'M EXCITED FOR BOTH OF YOU AND YES, WE WILL BE 25:43 PRAYING FOR BOTH OF YOU AND WE'LL LOOK FORWARD TO 25:45 HAVING YOU BACK IN THE STUDIO AND HEARING MORE 25:48 REPORTS. 25:49 AND AARON, WE DO
