03:45 THIS WAS A HINDU VILLAGE. 03:48 HINDU. 03:48 HINDU VILLAGE. 03:50 HINDU. 03:51 NOW THIS HAS UNIQUE RELIGIOUS BACKGROUND AND 03:52 TRADITIONS. 03:54 WHEN OUR GO WORKER WENT AND HIS WIFE WHO WAS 03:55 MEDICALLY TRAINED WENT TO THIS VILLAGE THEY WERE NOT 03:58 NICE TO THEM. 03:59 YOU'RE GOING TO SEE WHAT GOD DID ON THIS VIDEO. 04:02 HERE WE GO. 04:03 LET'S WATCH. 04:05 (SOUNDS, VOICES, LOUD MUSIC, HORNS HONKING, 07:12 (MUSIC, VOICES) 09:55 [SOUND OF VOICES AND MUSIC] 10:13 [SOUND OF vOICES AND VOICES] 10:43 YOU TALK ABOUT ADVENTURES 10:56 IN MISSIONS, THAT'S WHAT GOSPEL OUTREACH IS ALL 11:00 ABOUT. 11:01 AND MY HEART WAS MOVED AS I WATCHED THAT PERSON 11:03 ENTERING INTO THIS VILLAGE AND THAN BEGINNING TO 11:05 KNOCK ON DOORS WITH A SIMPLE THING LIKE A BLOOD 11:07 PRESSURE CUFF AND REJECTED BY EVERY SINGLE PERSON IN 11:11 THAT VILLAGE. 11:12 BUT YOU KNOW, JESUS SAYS IN MATTHEW 24:14 AND THIS 11:16 GOSPEL OF THE KINGDOM MUST BE PREACHED IN ALL THE 11:18 WORLD AS A WITNESS THEN SHALL THE END COME. 11:22 NOW THIS AREA OF INDIA IS HIGHLY HINDU AND I'M JUST 11:25 LEARNING FROM MY GUESTS TODAY THAT THE CASTE 11:28 SYSTEM PREVAILS THERE. 11:30 THIS HAPPENS TO BE A HIGHER CASTE. 11:33 IF YOU'D LIKE YOU CAN READ SOME MORE EXCITING 11:35 STORIES. 11:36 WHAT A THRILL TO DISCOVER THAT THE ENTIRE VILLAGE 11:39 EVENTUALLY BECAME BAPTIZED AND INTERESTED IN 11:41 FOLLOWING JESUS BECAUSE OF THE LIGHT OF WHAT SAVING 11:44 HEALTHFUL LIVING GOSPEL TRUTH CAN DO TO MAKE A 11:46 DIFFERENCE IN THIS LIFE NOT JUST THE LIFE TO COME. 11:49 WRITE FOR OUR LITTLE BROCHURE ADVENTURES IN 11:52 MISSIONS . 11:53 YOU CAN GO TO OUR WEBSITE GOAIM.ORG AND WE'LL SEND 11:56 THIS TO YOU FREE EVERY MONTH JUST TO BE A PART OF 11:59 US AND TO HEAR SOME OF THESE THRILLING STORIES 12:02 THAT THE ORSERS HAVE SHARED TODAY. 12:03 AND THANK YOU SO MUCH. 12:05 TELL ME A LITTLE BIT MORE ABOUT CASTE. 12:06 WE'RE NOT FAMILIAR WITH CASTE AND WHEN HINDUS COME 12:09 HERE TO AMERICA-I'VE TALKED TO HINDU DOCTORS 12:11 AND NURSES, HAD THEM ON OUR STAFF IN ONE OF OUR 12:13 HOSPITALS, WE DON'T SENSE CASTE. 12:17 WHAT IS CASTE? 12:18 THAT'S NOT A PLEASANT THING FOR US TO THINK 12:20 ABOUT BUT IT IS VERY REAL FOR THEM. 12:23 WELL CASTE IS A SYSTEM WHERE YOU CAN BE LOWER 12:25 CASTE, MIDDLE CASTE AND GENERALLY IT HAS TO DO 12:29 WITH OCCUPATION, YOUR STATUS IN THE COMMUNITY. 12:35 YOU'RE BORN INTO A CAST. 12:36 YOU CANNOT GRADUATE OR PAY YOUR WAY INTO A DIFFERENT 12:38 CASTE. 12:39 RIGHT. 12:40 THAT'S RIGHT. 12:41 AND IF DIFFERENT CASTES MARRY THERE ARE PROBLEMS 12:43 WITH THAT. 12:44 SO THE CASTE SYSTEM WHEN WE SHARE JESUS AND WE TALK 12:49 ABOUT THAT JESUS LOVES US ALL THE SAME AND THAT 12:52 THERE IS NO CASTE SYSTEM WITH JESUS THEY ALWAYS 12:55 SMILE ABOUT THAT BECAUSE IT IS SOMETHING PART OF 12:58 THEIR CULTURE. 12:59 NOW THIS PARTICULAR AREA THAT YOU JUST SHOWED THE 13:02 VIDEO OF IS A HIGHER CASTE. 13:04 DOES THAT MEAN THEY MIGHT HAVE A LITTLE BIT MORE 13:05 EDUCATION?
