00:00 Welcome to Adventures and Missions.
00:01 I'm Julie and it's great to have you here. 00:03 We so appreciate your partnership 00:05 and your support as we share Jesus in the 1040 window 00:09 today, we're going to have the opportunity to learn about 00:11 how people are excited and getting involved 00:13 with being a part of Gospel Outreach. 00:15 And that means you too. 00:17 And later on, we're going to be talking 00:18 with the president of Ultimate Missions, 00:20 and we hope that you'll stay tuned. 00:23 Gospel Outreach Presents Adventures 00:26 in Missions. 00:48 It's a new month 00:52 We are Dan and Nancy Godman. 00:55 We live here in Milton Free Water, Oregon. 00:58 And once or twice a week 01:00 we come to Gospel Outreach to help out. 01:03 We kind of developed our own 01:05 titles, Ambassador Coordinators. 01:07 Cause nobody we really didn't have anything like that. 01:11 And so they said, Well, what do we call you? 01:13 And they said, Well, we're ambassador coordinators 01:15 because that's what we try to do. 01:17 And it just stuck. 01:22 It was already going when we came here? 01:24 And there is just one person 01:26 doing it and they asked us to help. 01:28 And after a short time that person left and 01:32 it became ours and we've been doing it for the um. 01:36 Well, what is it? 01:37 We're in our 11th, 11th year now doing this. 01:47 We try to find individuals in 01:50 our churches here in in America that want to are interested 01:54 in representing a mission program like Gospel Outreach. 01:59 And because it's hard to get our message 02:01 to the individual churches, there are over 02:03 6000 of them in North American division. 02:06 And so we have we try to find individuals in the church 02:09 who will keep the church apprized of what we're doing. 02:15 It really is a wonderful organization to be a part of. 02:20 And our kids are 02:21 both ambassadors in their area. 02:24 We come and we were lucky enough to get our friends involved. 02:31 Ed and Bev Cline. 02:34 And they've been here probably the year after we joined. 02:38 They joined us and they help us 02:41 every month get the newsletter around. 02:46 That's right. 02:47 We did not have Internet sending at that time 02:51 when we first started, and so we just 02:55 rolled them up and and put them in envelopes 02:58 and put addresses on them and mailed them out. 03:05 And down here it doesn't show. 03:09 We started out 03:11 sending everything hard copies of everything. 03:14 And once a quarter we would send out a Mission DVD. 03:17 And now that we have GOTV, we don't send DVDs out anymore 03:21 because it's a lot handier just to go there 03:23 and get the mission stories. 03:25 And also about, oh, four years ago, five years ago, 03:30 those that had email addresses, 03:32 we started sending the newsletter out 03:35 via email, and it worked really well because a lot of folks 03:39 prefer to get it that way. 03:40 They don't have to print it, they don't. 03:43 They can read it. 03:44 And and it's easier to save too, if you want to do that. 03:52 I think prayer comes in there 03:55 very high up without the prayer and nothing else works. 03:58 There are many that say, well, I can't I can't break away 04:04 from either work or because I'm too old, I can't travel 04:09 to the mission 04:11 location. 04:12 All they need to do is to pray, give if they can give. 04:19 But if they can't 04:21 share Gospel Outreach with their church family 04:26 on a regular basis as the Lord impresses you, 04:30 share with your church families with the different stories 04:33 that we send. 04:38 As you look around you. 04:39 We know time is shorter than it has been. 04:43 There's a lot more trouble in the world than there has been in 04:45 a long time. 04:47 It's just seems to be building and building faster and faster. 04:50 And we're told that 04:51 when you see things like this happening, 04:53 you know that the end is near. 04:55 And that means if we're interested in seeing Jesus come 04:58 and being ready for him to come, then we need to be ready 05:02 and helping others to be ready. 05:04 And we have chosen Gospel Outreach 05:07 as our particular ministry because it seems to fit our 05:12 our personalities and our skill set. 05:14 I'd like to encourage people who are out there 05:16 in the churches to think, think about that. 05:19 Don't just think about 05:21 I'm going to work tomorrow or how do I pay the bills 05:24 or things like that. 05:25 But the biggest event in the whole universe is about 05:28 to happen, it's before us. 05:31 And are we're going to be ready for it. 05:32 Or are we not going to be ready for it? 05:34 You got those choices. You have those two choices. 05:36 You're either ready or you're not. 05:53 Welcome to adventures and Missions. 05:55 Jim Reynolds, it's great having you here. 05:56 It's always nice to be here Julie. 05:58 So, Jim, for a viewer 06:00 who might not know about Ultimate Mission, 06:02 could you give us a little synopsis of what you do? 06:05 And I know that's kind of hard because you do so much, 06:07 but if you could share a little bit 06:08 about what Ultimate Mission is and what your goal is with it, 06:11 Hmm, well, so what we do right now 06:14 with Gospel Outreach is is really cool 06:16 because we're partners with Gospel Outreach. 06:18 So Gospel Outreach hires of men and and trains them 06:22 to be Bible workers 06:23 and pays them to work out in the field in the 1040 window. 06:27 So what Ultimate Mission does is we hire the wives of 06:30 the Gospel Outreach workers and we train them to do 06:33 medical missionary work, 06:34 public health work, and then we put them to work 06:36 with a stipend out in the fields. 06:38 So along with their husbands. 06:40 So this gives 06:42 this makes a husband and wife team that is going out 06:45 and meeting the needs of the people. 06:47 And it just it's just a great combination. 06:50 I think it's a match made in heaven 06:51 with Gospel Outreach and Ultimate Mission. 06:53 And and we really appreciate the partnership that we have 06:56 with Gospel Outreach. 06:58 Well, it's wonderful to partner with you as well, Jim, 07:00 And just what you said, having that team of the Gospel 07:04 Outreach worker 07:05 and then his wife having the medical knowledge 07:09 and why don't you talk a little bit 07:10 about that, about the importance of her 07:12 being a female going into these homes. 07:15 Yeah, well, of course, the women carry 07:18 the water, make the food, take care of the babies. 07:20 And and 07:21 so when you can reach the women when it comes to health, 07:25 you can really raise the health in the whole community. 07:28 Matter of fact, studies, 07:29 any study you look at, you can Google it. 07:31 It'll show 07:32 if you educate women the health of the whole community raises. 07:36 And here's another fun thing. 07:39 When a man goes into a village, there's 07:40 a little bit of a defense that's come up. Right? 07:43 But when a woman 07:44 goes into a village and makes friends with the wives 07:47 in the village and carries the water and talks to them, 07:50 you know, at the different gatherings, 07:51 all of a sudden 07:52 you have this relationship that's built 07:54 that the man can work off of. 07:56 So now 07:57 men are getting into homes they would have never got into 08:00 had the wives not have had a relationship 08:03 with the other wives in the village. 08:04 It's very powerful. 08:05 Women ministering to women 08:07 is one of the most powerful things I've ever seen. Globally. 08:10 Yes, globally. 08:11 But and also this bring up the fact of cultural 08:15 norms of not having a man. 08:17 Obviously going into a home around the world. 08:19 That's true. 08:21 And so this is also a better way of just encompassing, 08:24 encompassing everything RATHER. Yeah, yeah. 08:26 And husband wife team can go anywhere, right? Yes. 08:29 You know, 08:30 you know, a man, 08:31 a woman shouldn't be in a home alone 08:32 with a married man should be alone with the woman. 08:35 But husband, wife team is bingo. 08:37 Yeah, yeah, yeah, absolutely. 08:39 So there's a partnership not only between 08:41 Ultimate Mission and Gospel Outreach, 08:43 but we have now brought in a third organization 08:46 and tell us about all three organizations working together. 08:50 Oh, yeah. So? 08:51 So It is Written as 08:53 this will be our second project with It is Written 08:55 in the Philippines. 08:57 And so what we've done in the past is 08:58 It is Written would have an evangelism series. 09:01 And we go in there and we do the health project 09:03 for them before the evangelism series, 09:05 and then we bring the Gospel Outreach workers 09:08 and their wives, 09:09 and they would help us with the evangelism 09:11 series with the health work. 09:12 And then John Bradshaw or West Peppers 09:14 or one of their speakers will speak. 09:16 But but we're helping to bring everybody in and 09:19 and treating them. 09:20 And matter of fact, you know, last time we were able to send, 09:24 what was it, 09:25 six people to the hospital, critical care patients, 09:28 and they would have died, right? 09:30 Because they didn't know that they were so sick? 09:32 They didn't realize that they were so sick. 09:34 They came in just to get advice and just to come see a doctor. 09:37 I understand. 09:38 And when they came in to 09:40 where we were having an evangelism series, 09:42 we check everybody. 09:43 We do vital signs. A triage. 09:45 Yes. And triage. 09:46 And and then we have docs and nurses there. 09:48 And it was like, oh, we've got to take care of this. 09:51 And so we were able to send people to the hospital 09:53 and saved their lives. 09:55 One little girl, as a matter of fact, seven year 09:57 old little girl, could not did not have insulin. 10:00 She was very her her blood sugar was super high. 10:03 Did they know she was diabetic? 10:04 They did, but but they didn't have the money for the insulin. 10:07 Her and her mother were actually on the streets in Ethiopia. 10:10 No place to live, no way to get insulin. 10:13 So we set her up for insulin for I mean, we're 10:16 still getting her insulin every month. 10:18 You know how much that cost us? How much? 10:20 Six bucks a month. 10:21 That's all. $6 a month. 10:23 Matter of fact, the six people we sent in for 10:25 critical care in the hospital, it only came to $156. 10:29 So for less than $156, we were able to save six lives. 10:34 And these people went in, 10:35 they got medical attention, they got medications. 10:39 A couple of them stayed overnight, $156. 10:42 And for that family, for that mother and daughter 10:44 living on the streets, they didn't have the $6 a month. 10:47 No they didn't. Still don't. Praise the Lord. 10:49 So this is what we'll be doing 10:51 in the Philippines as well, because we partnered with 10:53 It is Written again I'm good friends with the West Peppers. 10:56 And he called, said, Hey, Jim, you want to do it again? 10:59 I said, Sure. Love it. 11:00 So same idea, different country. Different country, 11:03 except this time, 11:04 this time I get to do the evag-. 11:07 One of the evangelism series. Really? 11:09 Yeah, They're doing 11 series. 11:11 They're doing 11 sites. 11:12 It is Written is. 11:13 And so they asked me to speak at one of the sites. Wow, Jim. 11:17 Which is totally awesome. 11:18 So how many 11:19 how many presentations that you're preparing? 11:21 Um, 15. Wow. 11:23 Yeah. Wow. Well, we'll be praying for you. 11:25 And I'm going to need you know, 11:27 there's a there's there's a couple cool things about that. 11:30 When I started Ultimate Mission, 11:32 which was how long ago? Well that was in 2009. 11:35 But when when I had gone to India three times, the third 11:38 time, I was going to go over and do an evangelism series 11:41 because I'd done some in the States, 11:42 but I'd never done some overseas, 11:44 and I was going to go over, do it. 11:46 And then the people that were sponsoring 11:48 me, Child Impact, was sponsor me 11:49 at the time to do the evangelism series called and said, 11:52 The government's not going to let us do that. 11:54 And so I didn't get to do it, but we did like a health 11:57 program, and that's what started what we're doing now. 12:01 So God stopped the whole evangelism thing 12:04 and started to open the door for the health. And now He's open 12:07 Evangelism series. 12:09 And now I get to do 12:10 the evangelism series I wanted to do back in 2013. 12:13 Well, praise the Lord. 12:14 And here's 12:15 another fun, fun fact 12:16 where I was away from the church for 26 years, 12:20 and when I came back, 12:22 I didn't know if I was going 12:23 to come back to the Adventist church. 12:25 I was looking at Catholic and Baptist and Methodist and 12:29 and I was just looking around and I got a DVD from who 12:33 It is Written. 12:36 So. So yeah, so. 12:38 He knows the whole story. 12:41 So now I get to do an 12:42 evangelism series with It is Written 12:44 and it's just, it's so exciting for me, 12:47 you know, that 12:49 I'm I'm oftentimes not speechless, 12:51 but that is a really, we got we got to pause on that. 12:54 That is really cool. Jim That is really cool. 12:56 That's really cool. 12:57 So just pray for me as I go to do this. Yeah. 13:00 And well, and your great spot there. 13:03 And you have much more content to be able to share 13:06 with, with people in the series and all of that. So. 13:09 Oh, okay, good. 13:10 All right. 13:11 Well now let's come back to the Philippines. 13:13 There we are in the Philippines. 13:14 So child feeding programs, you've started 13:17 those prior to the evangelism series? Yes. 13:21 Yeah, they're going on right now. 13:23 So tell us about that. 13:23 So so we've done these in the past. 13:26 And so what we will do 13:27 malnourishment is is a big problem 13:30 in the Philippines and wasting even, 13:32 which is severe malnourishment. Right? 13:34 So wasting of the, Yeah, at a certain point 13:38 they call the child wasted 13:39 because they've lost so much weight, muscle, everything. Yes. 13:42 And and so we have in the past, we've done these child 13:46 feeding programs where we will go into a barangay. 13:50 It's a village, they call it a barangay, 13:52 and we'll go in there and find the 13:53 malnourished children and then we will feed them 13:56 once a week 13:57 while we're feeding them, because we know once a week 14:00 isn't going to solve the problem right. 14:02 But while we're feeding them, we will run health classes. 14:05 So we will bring the parents in and we will say, okay, 14:07 your child is eating right now, but here's a way 14:10 that you can help them eat better in the future. 14:13 So, you know, a lot of times people just don't have the money 14:16 or there's, you know, a food scarcity. 14:18 Not much you can do about that. Right. 14:20 But the other problem is they don't get a variety of food. 14:23 So what are they eating consistently? 14:25 So a lot of fish, right? 14:27 A lot of fish and rice. Fish and rice. 14:29 And so you have you have, 14:31 you know, food like that that they're eating, 14:32 but they're not getting their fruits and vegetables 14:35 and all those different They're available. 14:37 But they have lots of fruit in the Philippines. 14:38 They're available, but they're just a lot of times 14:41 people get stuck on and this is our this is our diet. 14:44 This is what we eat. 14:45 And so so food variety is a big thing. 14:48 And then the other thing, 14:49 of course, is hygiene and good water. Yes. 14:52 Because the problem is, is if 14:54 if the hygiene isn't good and the water is that good, 14:57 the nutrition that they're getting 14:58 is going to fight off disease. Right. 15:00 Because they'll get diarrhea from the water 15:02 and then the 15:03 whole cycle continues and then they're not being able 15:04 to absorb the nutrients and. Right. 15:06 And so and then breast feeding is really something 15:10 that we focus on in the Philippines. 15:12 Unfortunately, the formula companies 15:15 just put a whole lot of formula out there. 15:18 When a baby is born at the hospitals, 15:20 they just gave it away. 15:21 They free it, they give it away. 15:23 So the mother gets used to using this formula. 15:26 It's an easy the formula. 15:28 You know, 15:29 you don't have the problem of a bearing, you know. Yes. 15:32 And and so exposure and all that. 15:36 And so they so then they dry up. 15:39 And you know as well as I do, those first three days 15:42 of breastfeeding are incredibly important. 15:45 Yes. 15:45 and then first six months is just 15:48 But that's that's brilliant of the formula companies around 15:50 because then then, yes, the rest is history. 15:53 But then what if the women can't afford that? 15:56 Right. So we're back to that whole cycle again. 15:58 Well, 15:58 not only 16:00 the women can't afford that, but when they're making 16:01 the formula a lot of times, well, they're using the water. 16:05 Right? Right. The water, which isn't clean. Right. 16:07 And and bottles that may not have been 16:10 you know, you know, 16:12 we we boil and everything to keep the bottles clean. 16:14 So this is a whole like 16:17 literally getting to the bottom of how these people 16:19 are doing things of saying, you know what 16:21 you need to be looking at, what are you eating women this. 16:25 So some training for new moms, things like that. 16:29 So that's where the Ultimate Mission 16:31 the women come in yet again to be part of that. 16:35 So you're saying that that is the precursor 16:37 then for the evangelists to go series? Yes. 16:40 So so we go into different villages. 16:43 Right now we have five different churches. 16:46 I believe some of them are working 16:48 in five different villages. Right. 16:49 We've we've sent the money and It is Written 16:51 has sent the money in order to to do the feeding 16:55 and then they will be working with them. 16:56 And I want to show you a video real quick. Yes. 16:59 This is one feeding program that we did a while back. 17:03 Okay. 17:52 So you see this lady with their guitars? 17:54 Yeah, there at the end. Okay, So. 17:56 So the other thing that's done is they do 17:57 kind of a little vacation Bible school 17:59 and they do Bible studies and they do Jesus stories. 18:02 So from these programs, we are going to invite people 18:05 to the evangelism series. Wonderful. 18:08 And the thing is, is what we want to do. 18:10 And this is what what Ultimate Mission, healthy heart. 18:12 This is our whole focus is we want to build a relationship 18:15 with people and tell people we love you, we care about you. 18:19 We're not just trying to, you know, 18:21 put a notch in our Bible and get you to our church. 18:23 We really care about you. 18:25 And that's why we're doing what we're doing. 18:27 And so, first of all, we want to go in, show people 18:30 we love them, we care about them. 18:32 And this is another part 18:33 about caring about you is we want to show you Jesus. 18:37 Yeah. 18:38 Well, and that's what that's what Jesus did. 18:40 So may he be the example, obviously, to all of us, 18:44 and especially feeding the children. 18:47 I just love that. 18:48 So how many workers do we have in this area? 18:51 So we we have 42 workers in the Philippines right now. 18:55 So and that is 18:56 within the last year 18:57 and a half, I think we've just put 18:59 42 workers in there from Gospel Outreach before Ultimate 19:03 Mission had trained churches to do these programs, 19:07 but since we had Gospel Outreach in us, has partnered together, 19:11 Gospel Outreach has 19:13 I don't know how many Bible workers 19:14 that you have in the Philippines, 19:16 but 42 of them, their wives are all so Healthy 19:19 Heart workers. 19:20 Yeah, Well, and I think that I think that that is so important. 19:23 But we hear the word 42 and we think, Oh, isn't that wonderful? 19:26 We have 42 workers. 19:27 But Jim, the population of the Philippines is. Yes. 19:31 And changing daily by the second. 19:34 So what's the need? 19:36 Well, the need is thousands, really. 19:38 It really is. 19:39 And just like Bible workers, Right. 19:41 We could use as many as we could possibly get. 19:44 You have logistical challenges of training and this and that. 19:48 And and a lot of the problems is we need funds, Right? 19:52 This can't be done for free. 19:53 The worker is worthy of their hire. 19:54 We can't 19:56 ask these people to do this work and not feed their family. 19:58 So we have to pay them a stipend. 20:00 We got to give them the money to be able to do this. 20:03 You know, 20:04 another really neat thing I've I've watched 20:05 when these workers 20:06 have gotten together, 20:07 I don't think we've focused on before, but 20:10 a woman was saying this in one of the videos I saw. 20:13 She said, you know, when me and my husband work together, 20:17 it helps our relationship. Yes. 20:19 Isn't that cool. 20:20 Yes. Well, yes, because they've got the Lord 20:21 with them and they're going out and helping people. 20:23 And that's a wonderful testimony. 20:25 And may that be true of all of us if you're married. 20:27 So. Absolutely. 20:29 So you brought up I'm talking about the evangelistic series 20:32 and there's a verse that you 20:34 mentioned is is important Psalm 31:24. 20:37 And it's here 20:39 be strong and take heart all you who hope in the Lord. 20:42 So what does that mean to you and for this area, Jim? 20:48 Well, every time you go into a new area like this 20:51 and this is new for us, 20:53 we haven't done an evangelism series yet. 20:57 There's all kinds of challenges. 20:59 There's all kinds of roadblocks that are get thrown up. 21:02 There's there's a lot of organizational things. 21:06 Yes. Logistics. Oh, my goodness. 21:08 And so you're you're speaking to people 21:11 halfway around the world in another language 21:13 and another culture and another custom. 21:15 And it is it is so challenging. 21:18 But, you know, 21:18 you be strong in the Lord and you trust 21:21 that God is going to make this happen. 21:23 It probably will. 21:24 I guarantee you it will not happen 21:26 the way you think it's going to. Right. 21:28 But you know what? 21:29 It's going to happen probably better. 21:31 And I have yet of I've been doing this since 2011, 21:35 going to on these mission projects. 21:38 And every time I go, every single time so far 21:42 we've done more as much or more than we plan to do. 21:45 And it is just amazing because 21:47 at first it looks like it'll never happen. 21:49 It just looks completely impossible. 21:50 Everything's falling apart. 21:52 Nobody's doing what they said they're going to do. 21:54 Planes are canceled. 21:55 All this is all I've had people cancel out and, 21:58 All kinds of things. 21:59 But you know what? It just. It always works. 22:02 It always works. 22:03 So, I mean, you just you be strong. 22:05 You just trust God and. 22:07 And you just take heart. 22:09 Well, Jim, blessings to all of you. 22:11 And thank you for partnering with us 22:12 and letting us partner with you and this new arrangement with 22:16 It is Written. 22:16 And keep sharing that story 22:18 about how the Lord has brought you around full circle. 22:22 Amen. Thank you. 22:25 Media plays a major role in our society today, 22:28 and that comes with a lot of negatives, 22:29 but it also comes with some positives 22:31 for Christians as well. 22:33 You know, 22:34 Christians have been using media and technology for a long time 22:37 to spread the gospel to the world in such a rapid manner 22:40 like we've never been able to do before. 22:42 Now, that's kind of one of the positives about media, 22:46 but with all the different media being produced and created 22:50 by Christian organizations, there should be plenty out there 22:54 for us to be able to consume, to watch, to become inspired. 22:58 But you know what happens when somebody like myself 23:01 follows an organization and I want to watch 23:03 a video produced by that organization. 23:05 I want to learn 23:06 where my money is going when I'm donating to that organization. 23:10 One of the first things 23:11 that I do is I open up YouTube and I search that organization. 23:14 But you know what happens before too long? 23:16 I'm off on a rabbit trail watching videos 23:18 that I never planned on actually watching. 23:20 I think this is a problem that a lot of different people 23:23 run into, Christians and non-Christians alike. 23:26 We are constantly 23:27 being bombarded and forced fed different video content, 23:31 and that doesn't mean that that content is specifically bad. 23:33 I mean, sometimes you're 23:35 watching cat videos on YouTube, but is a cat video really 23:38 what you need to be watching right now? 23:39 Is that really something 23:41 that is going to be good for your brain in the long run? 23:44 Now, YouTube is a great tool for spreading the gospel 23:46 and it's a great tool for spreading the word 23:49 about your organization. 23:50 But what if you are a Christian 23:52 who is already interested in foreign missions 23:55 and in Adventist affiliated foreign missions? 23:59 But every single time you open up YouTube, 24:01 you're getting distracted by all these other things. 24:03 You're getting bombarded. 24:04 You really 24:05 don't want the YouTube app even sitting on your smartphone. 24:08 What do you do? 24:10 Well, this is something that we've been thinking about here 24:12 at Gospel Outreach for a few years now. 24:14 And a couple of years we moved forward in faith 24:17 and we started a streaming service. 24:19 Now, for those of you who are unsure 24:20 about what a streaming streaming services 24:22 think about Netflix, think about Amazon Prime. 24:25 We host content on our streaming service 24:28 for other Adventist affiliated organizations as well. 24:32 You know, we're all working towards the same goal. 24:34 We're all working towards 24:35 spreading the gospel and the message of Jesus Christ. 24:38 And so none of us are in competition. 24:41 We should all be working together as one. 24:43 And so by 24:44 creating this streaming service, you can download the app. 24:47 We've heard from people who have downloaded the app 24:50 who have said, 24:51 I discovered a new organization 24:53 that I didn't know about on your platform. 24:55 And that's really exciting. 24:57 That's really personally 24:58 why I wanted to do this in the first place 25:01 is because we want people to be discovering 25:04 other organizations and learning how 25:06 the message is moving forward 25:08 by all these amazing people who are being led by the Lord. 25:11 We also want to inspire other people 25:12 to get involved with foreign missions. 25:14 So the streaming service is called GOTV missions. 25:17 GOTV Missions. 25:19 You can download it 25:20 on your smartphone, you can download it 25:22 on the Apple Store or the Google Play store. 25:24 You can also download it 25:26 on your smart TV like Roku, Apple TV, Fire Stick, etc. 25:30 You can also watch on the 25:30 website as well directly on your computer. 25:34 But with this app, our ultimate goal 25:37 is to bring everyone together in unity, 25:41 to continue becoming inspired and inspiring the next 25:46 generation to get involved with foreign mission work. 25:50 So now when I want to sit down and I want to consume some good 25:54 Christian content, 25:55 when I want to watch some videos 25:57 from one of my favorite organizations, 25:59 I can open the GOTV 26:01 missions app on my phone and I can consume that content 26:04 without getting absolutely bombarded by the worldly content 26:09 and messages that are out there on social media platforms 26:12 like YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, Twitter. 26:15 I can stay away from all of that and I can put more of my focus 26:19 into watching content that is going to continue 26:22 to spiritually fill me and inspire me to be involved 26:25 with foreign missions. 26:26 So if you want to watch adventures and missions 26:29 or if you want to watch 26:30 our new show, Destiny in 1040, or maybe our go minutes, 26:33 which are the short videos, spiritual messages that we do, 26:36 maybe you want to listen to some spiritual music, 26:39 go download the app GOTV Missions, 26:43 download it on your phone, 26:44 download it on your smart TV, and from there 26:47 you can watch content from many other Adventist 26:50 affiliated organizations 26:51 and become inspired in foreign mission work. 26:54 So thanks for giving me this time 26:56 today and listening to my rant about media. Again, 27:00 get out there and get involved. 27:01 I want to encourage you to be involved. 27:03 Find your mission. 27:05 You can be a missionary in your home, 27:07 in your church, in your community, 27:09 or you can be a 27:10 missionary around the world, but get involved in some way. 27:14 It will be a blessing to you and it'll change your life. 27:17 So until next time, keep your eyes focused on Jesus 27:20 and I'll talk to you again next time. 27:23 We want to say thank you for your prayers 27:25 and your support here at Gospel Outreach. 27:27 And if you make an online donation, 27:29 there is a dropdown menu 27:31 and you can actually tag Adventures in Missions 27:33 and you can also put that in the memo line. 27:35 So we say thank you for that. 27:37 Thank you again for watching and may the Lord bless you today. 28:22 That was awesome. 28:23 Yeah, that was great. 28:25 I love that for how he uses those things that you know 28:30 right at the end. I love it. |
