00:33 WELCOME TO "ADVENTURES IN MISSIONS." 00:35 IT IS SO GOOD TO HAVE YOU TUNING IN. 00:37 WE ARE GOING TO BE TALKING TODAY ABOUT A COUPLE OF 00:40 AREAS IN THE INDIA REGION. 00:42 ONE OF THEM IS ACTUALLY IN INDIA, TRIPURA REGION, YES 00:47 AND THEN ALSO MIGHT TOUCH A LITTLE BIT ON 00:50 BANGLADESH. 00:50 BANGLADESH. 00:51 AND HERE WITH ME IS JOHN DUROE WHO REPRESENTS 00:55 GOSPEL OUTREACH FOR THAT REGION. 00:57 WE'RE SO GLAD YOU'RE HERE. 00:58 YES, THANK YOU. 00:59 ACTUALLY TRIPURA IS SURROUNDED ON THREE SIDES 01:04 BY BANGLADESH. 01:05 WHICH MAKES IT A VERY UNIQUE REGION IN INDIA. 01:08 IT DOES. 01:08 IT HAS IT'S OWN CULTURE PROBABLY. 01:12 WELL IT'S A MIXED UP CULTURE. 01:13 THAT'S THE PROBLEM. 01:15 IT DOESN'T HAVE IT'S OWN CULTURE, IT'S A MIXED UP 01:18 CULTURE. 01:18 IT'S A COMBINATION CULTURE. 01:19 YES. 01:20 VERY GOOD. 01:21 AND YOU ARE DRESSED IN SOMETHING REALLY SPECIAL. 01:23 YOU MIGHT WANT TO SAY A WORD ABOUT THAT. 01:25 YES, THESE ARE, THIS IS FROM TRIPURA MOST OF THIS. 01:29 NOW WHAT I HAVE ON HERE THIS IS CALLED A SHALWAR 01:35 KAMEEZ. 01:36 AND MOST OF THE COUNTRIES AROUND THAT AREA, 01:39 PAKISTAN, INDIA, BANGLADESH THEY ALL WEAR 01:41 THIS SHALWAR KAMEEZ IN ONE FORM OR ANOTHER. 01:42 BUT THESE, THIS BAG FOR INSTANCE IS VERY 01:43 REPRESENTATIVE OF THE NORTHERN AREA OF INDIA. 01:45 AND THEN THE WEAVING ON THESE SHAWLS HERE, IT'S 01:46 YOU CAN TELL WHICH PLACE YOU COME FROM BY THE KIND 01:47 OF WEAVE THAT YOU HAVE AND THE COLORS THAT YOU HAVE. 02:12 THESE WERE GIVEN ME IN VARIOUS VILLAGES AS 02:14 PRESENTS WHEN I WAS VISITING THERE. 02:17 SO YOU GET TO ENJOY WEARING THEM ON SPECIAL 02:19 OCCASIONS LIKE THIS. 02:21 YES. 02:22 AND I KNOW THAT YOU'VE PREPARED SOME VIDEOS THAT 02:25 WE'RE GOING TO BE ABLE TO LOOK AT AS WE'RE SPENDING 02:27 SOME TIME TOGETHER HERE FOR A FEW MINUTES. 02:29 TELL US A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THE FIRST ONE. 02:32 WHAT'S THIS ABOUT? 02:33 WELL THE FIRST ONE IS CALLED "A SECOND CHANCE" 02:36 AND IT'S A VIDEO ABOUT A PLACE WHERE WORK STARTED 02:42 TEN YEARS AGO AND THINGS WENT WRONG. 02:46 BUT THEY DECIDED TO GIVE THAT VILLAGE A SECOND 02:50 CHANCE. 02:51 SO WE'RE GOING TO SEE THAT. 02:52 AND WE'RE ALSO GOING TO LOOK AT A NEW WORLD 02:55 RECORD. 02:56 THAT WILL BE IN THIS VIDEO? 02:57 YES. 02:57 LET'S LOOK AT THE VIDEO. 03:07 ANOTHER RECORD FOR INDIA. 03:09 IT HAS THE HIGHEST NUMBER OF PEOPLE IN THE WORLD 03:13 WITHOUT ACCESS TO CLEAN DRINKING WATER, 163 03:18 MILLION. 03:19 (SOUNDS OF WATER RUNNING) MORE THAN 500 CHILDREN 03:22 UNDER THE AGE OF FIVE DIE EVERY DAY FROM DIARRHEA. 03:28 THE RESPONSIBILITY FOR COLLECTING CLEAN WATER 03:31 FALLS ON THE WOMEN. 03:32 SO WHEN I VISITED THIS VILLAGE THIS YEAR THE 03:37 WOMEN WERE AT WORK. 03:38 IT'S AMAZING HOW MUCH WATER ONE WOMAN CAN CARRY. 03:43 WHEN OUR GOSPEL OUTREACH VOLUNTEER WORKS IN THIS 03:46 VILLAGE THIS IS WHERE HE SLEEPS WITH ALL OF HIS 03:49 HELPERS AND HE NEEDS WATER TOO. 03:54 PASTOR ZAMINGA, OUR DISTRICT PRESIDENT, HELD 03:58 EVANGELISTIC MEETINGS HERE TEN YEARS AGO AND 27 WERE 04:03 BAPTIZED. 04:05 THINGS WENT WRONG AND THE VILLAGE SLIPPED BACK INTO 04:09 HINDUISM. 04:10 BUT THE HOLY SPIRIT KEPT ZAMINGA THINKING ABOUT 04:14 THEM AND TOLD HIM TO GIVE THEM A SECOND CHANCE. 04:19 HE WENT TO THE MARKET, HE CALLED ONE OF THE OLD 04:22 MEMBERS WHO INVITED ZAMINGA BACK AND THEY 04:25 ARRANGED FOR MEETINGS. 04:26 (MAN TALKING) I WAS SO HAPPY TO GREET THE NEW 04:28 BAPTISMAL CANDIDATES TODAY. 04:30 WE HERE ARE REMEMBERING THAT THIS DAY IS GOD'S 04:35 SABBATH DAY. 04:36 THE LAMB OF GOD WOULD DIE ON THE CROSS. 04:39 WE CLIMBED DOWN MORE THAN 200 MUD STEPS, I COUNTED 04:44 THEM ON THE WAY BACK. 04:47 OUR RECENTLY BAPTIZED BLIND MAN HAD NO PROBLEMS. 04:52 THE STEPS LED TO THE PERFECT BAPTISMAL SITE. 04:58 THIS IS WHAT GOSPEL OUTREACH IS ALL ABOUT. 05:03 GIVING PEOPLE A SECOND CHANCE. 05:06 ALLOWING PEOPLE TO WITNESS TO THE FACT THAT JESUS 05:12 CHRIST HAS BEEN ACCEPTED AS THEIR PERSONAL SAVIOR 05:17 AND WE CELEBRATED WITH A BANANA LEAF FEAST. 05:22 TWO OF OUR GOSPEL OUTREACH WORKERS HAD BEEN HOLDING 05:25 MEETINGS HERE. 05:26 AND THEY TOOK ME VISITING AND THEY TOLD ME ABOUT 05:32 SOME OF THEIR EXPERIENCES. 05:34 A LADY HAD BEEN SICK AND HER FRIENDS HAD BEEN 05:39 TAKING CARE OF HER. 05:41 SHE HAD BEEN TAKEN TO THE LOCAL DOCTOR BUT NOTHING 05:45 WORKED UNTIL OUR GOSPEL OUTREACH WORKERS STARTED 05:49 VISITING AND PRAYING FOR HER. 05:52 THEY STUDIED WITH HER AND TODAY SHE WAS BAPTIZED. 05:55 WE CONTINUED OUR VISITS. 06:00 SO MANY PEOPLE IN NEED. 06:02 THIS LADY WAS ALSO SICK. 06:06 SHE WAS TAKEN TO THE LOCAL DOCTOR AND THEN TO SEE THE 06:09 HINDU PRIEST. 06:10 HIS GESTURES WERE VERY CONVINCING BUT THEY DIDN'T 06:15 HELP. 06:16 IT WASN'T UNTIL OUR GOSPEL OUTREACH WORKERS STARTED 06:19 VISITING AND PRAYING THAT THINGS STARTED TO CHANGE. 06:25 IT COULD ALSO HAVE HAD SOMETHING TO DO WITH 06:27 GETTING RID OF ALL THE HEATHEN CHARMS AND GODS. 06:30 (PEOPLE TALKING) OUR TWO GOSPEL OUTREACH WORKERS 06:37 HAD MANY MORE HOMES THAT THEY WANTED ME TO VISIT. 06:40 IN ONE HOME THEY INTRODUCED ME TO PATRA. 06:43 HE AND HIS FAMILY HAD BEEN HAVING MANY PROBLEMS AT 06:47 HOME. 06:48 BUT THEY HAD ALL BEEN BAPTIZED TODAY AND THEY 06:51 WERE VERY ANXIOUS THAT WE HELP HIM CLEAR OUT ALL THE 06:56 IDOLS FROM HIS HOME. 06:58 WE BURNED THEM ALL. 07:00 THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN A VILLAGE IS GIVEN A 07:05 SECOND CHANCE. 07:07 LET'S HELP GOSPEL OUTREACH GIVE SECOND CHANCES TO 07:11 MANY MORE VILLAGES IN TRIPURA, NORTHEAST INDIA. 07:16 PRAY FOR OUR GOSPEL OUTREACH WORKERS AND HELP 07:19 SUPPORT THEM AS THEY OFFER TO PEOPLE A SECOND CHANCE. 07:28 AS YOU THINK ABOUT THE SECOND CHANCE THAT YOU 07:31 WERE TALKING ABOUT HERE IN THIS VIDEO WHAT DOES THAT 07:34 MEAN REALLY FOR ALL OF US? 07:35 WELL FOR US IT MEANS THAT WE'VE GOT ANOTHER CHANCE 07:39 TO HELP SHARE THE GOSPEL TO SUPPORT ANOTHER 07:44 VOLUNTEER TO GO AND DO THAT WORK. 07:47 LET'S GIVE THEM A SECOND CHANCE. 07:49 ABSOLUTELY. 07:50 AND IT'S AN OPPORTUNITY FOR EVERYONE WHOSE 07:53 WATCHING TODAY. 07:54 YOU KNOW PROBABLY THERE'S SOMEONE WATCHING WHO, 07:57 MAYBE YOU HAVE BEEN WATCHING "ADVENTURES IN 08:00 MISSIONS" FOR FOR QUITE A WHILE AND YOU SEE THE 08:03 STORIES GO BY AND YOU THINK I SHOULD PROBABLY DO 08:05 SOMETHING FOR GOSPEL OUTREACH. 08:07 WELL NOW IS YOUR SECOND CHANCE OR MAYBE THIRD OR 08:09 FOURTH. 08:10 IT IS YOUR CHANCE TO ACTUALLY DO IT, TO CONTACT 08:13 US AND BE A PART OF EXACTLY WHAT WE'RE TALKING 08:16 ABOUT HERE. 08:17 YES. 08:18 NOW I'D LIKE TO TAKE YOU TO BANGLADESH BECAUSE 08:21 THAT'S THE OTHER PART OF MY AREA, BANGLADESH AND 08:26 YOU'LL SEE WHAT KIND OF A WELCOME THEY ARE GOING TO 08:30 GIVE US AT THAT FIRST VILLAGE. 08:32 SO LET'S HAVE A LOOK. 08:35 I WAS SO UPSET NEXT MORNING TO HEAR THE SAD 08:37 NEWS. 08:38 A TRUMPET PLAYER WHO HAD BEEN SO FULL OF LIFE WAS 08:42 FOUND DEAD IN HIS BED THE NEXT MORNING. 08:45 LIFE CAN BE SO UNCERTAIN. 08:48 WHAT A MAGNIFICENT WELCOME WE HAD RECEIVED IN THIS 08:51 VILLAGE. 08:52 THE LADIES HAD SO MUCH FUN (MUSIC AND DRUMS) AND THE 08:57 FOOT WASHING FELT SO GOOD. 08:59 (MUSIC AND DRUMS) THIS IS OUR GOSPEL OUTREACH 09:04 VOLUNTEER IN THE VILLAGE, BUT HE IS ALSO WORKING IN 09:09 THE SURROUNDING VILLAGES. 09:11 HE HAS BAPTIZED 37 NEW MEMBERS LAST YEAR AND TOLD 09:16 ME OF ANOTHER VILLAGE WHERE 30 PEOPLE ARE ALMOST 09:19 READY FOR BAPTISM. 09:21 I VISITED WITH THIS GOSPEL OUTREACH VOLUNTEER IN A 09:26 VILLAGE. 09:27 (GOSPEL OUTREACH VOLUNTEER TALKING) I WATCHED HIM 09:28 CONDUCTING SPECIAL MEN'S MEETINGS AND PRAYING FOR 09:29 THE SICK. 09:30 (GOSPEL OUTREACH VOLUNTEER TALKING) THIS GOSPEL 09:31 OUTREACH VOLUNTEER WORKS IN ANOTHER VILLAGE, AND 28 09:32 HAVE BEEN BAPTIZED THERE IN THE LAST TWO YEARS. 09:34 SOME VILLAGERS COMPLAINED TO THE VILLAGE CHAIRMAN 09:35 THAT JOSEPH WAS GIVING MONEY TO MAKE PEOPLE 09:37 CHRISTIANS. 09:38 HE WAS BROUGHT BEFORE THE COUNCIL, DENIED THE 09:39 CHARGES AND SAID I'M JUST SHARING WHAT I'VE LEARNED 09:40 FROM THE BIBLE. 09:41 WE SHOULD READ THE BIBLE AS WELL AS THE OTHER HOLY 09:42 BOOKS. 09:43 (MAN TALKING) AND PEOPLE SHOULD MAKE THEIR OWN 09:44 DECISION. 09:45 THE COUNCIL AGREED WITH JOSEPH AND THE CHAIRMAN 09:46 SAID THAT IT WAS ALRIGHT FOR JOSEPH TO PREACH. 09:47 THIS GOSPEL OUTREACH VOLUNTEER WAS LOCKED OUT 09:50 OF HIS CHURCH IN HIS VILLAGE. 10:22 HIS OWN BROTHER HAD HIM ARRESTED BY THE POLICE, 10:39 BUT THE POLICE WERE VERY SYMPATHETIC TO OUR 10:43 VOLUNTEER AND THEY HELPED HIM REMOVE THE 10:45 TROUBLEMAKERS. 10:47 AND THEN SOMETHING HAPPENED THAT CHANGED 10:50 EVERYTHING. 10:52 THE BROTHER'S WIFE JUST WALKED OUT AND LEFT HIM 10:57 WITH FIVE CHILDREN. 10:58 OUR VOLUNTEER TALKED WITH HIS BROTHER, TRIED TO 11:02 COMFORT HIM. 11:03 (MAN TALKING) HE GOT THE CHILDREN ENROLLED IN THE 11:11 ADVENTIST BOARDING SCHOOL AND IT'S HARD TO BELIEVE 11:15 BUT NOW HIS BROTHER IS BAPTIZED AND IS A FAITHFUL 11:19 CHURCH MEMBER. 11:20 SO MANY WORKERS IN THE VILLAGES OF BANGLADESH 11:26 SHARING THE GOOD NEWS OF SALVATION. 11:29 SO MANY PLACES WHERE THEY NEED OUR HELP. 11:33 SO MANY REASONS TO REJOICE. 11:36 (MUSIC AND DRUMS) THANK YOU FOR THAT REALLY 11:44 INTERESTING AND GOOD REPORT ABOUT BANGLADESH. 11:47 INTERESTING AND EXCITING STORIES. 11:48 WE'RE GOING TO TAKE A SHORT BREAK AND SO WE 11:51 INVITE YOU STAY TUNED BECAUSE WE'LL BE BACK WITH 11:54 MORE VIDEOS AND MORE STORIES WITH OUR GOSPEL 11:57 OUTREACH REGIONAL DIRECTOR JOHN DUROE. 12:01 SO STAY TUNED. 12:03 WHY HASN'T JESUS COME. 12:05 IT'S BECAUSE WE HAVE A JOB TO DO. 12:08 ONE THAT HIS RETURN DEPENDS ON. 12:10 THE BIBLE TELLS US THAT CHRIST WILL COME AFTER THE 12:13 GOSPEL HAS BEEN PREACHED IN ALL THE WORLD. 12:16 THE WORLD'S POPULATION EXCEEDS 7 BILLION BUT 3 12:20 BILLION PEOPLE STILL NEED TO HEAR ABOUT JESUS' LOVE. 12:23 NINETY-SEVEN PERCENT OF THE UNREACHED PEOPLE LIVE 12:26 IN THE AREA FROM 10-40 DEGREES NORTH OF THE 12:29 EQUATOR. 12:30 FROM WEST AFRICA, THE MIDDLE EAST, INDIA, CHINA, 12:31 TO JAPAN. 12:32 GOSPEL OUTREACH HAS A UNIQUE APPROACH. 12:33 WITH THE SUPPORT OF PEOPLE LIKE YOU WE SPONSOR LOCAL 12:36 GOSPEL WORKERS IN MORE THAN 50 COUNTRIES. 12:38 BECAUSE THEY KNOW THE LANGUAGE, CULTURE AND 12:41 RELIGIONS OF THEIR NEIGHBORS THEY FACE FEWER 12:43 CHALLENGES THAN FOREIGN MISSIONARIES WOULD. 12:46 TOGETHER WITH YOU WE FUND MORE THAN 2000 BIBLE 12:49 WORKERS. 12:50 BUT MORE ARE NEEDED. 12:51 LET'S REACH THE UNREACHED WITH THE SAVING POWER OF 12:57 GOD'S LOVE. 12:58 JOIN US. 12:59 SPONSOR A BIBLE WORKER. 13:01 DONATE. 13:02 PRAY. 13:03 WELCOME BACK AND WE'RE HERE WITH JOHN DUROE AND 13:06 READY FOR MORE EXCITING STORIES. 13:10 YES. 13:11 WE'RE GOING TO START WITH A PARADE AND THIS IS FOR A 13:14 VERY FAMOUS FREEDOM FIGHTER. 13:16 NOW WE KNOW OF MAHATMA GANDHI BUT THIS IS ANOTHER 13:20 FREEDOM FIGHTER WHO WAS A LITTLE MORE AGGRESSIVE IN 13:24 HIS FIGHTING. 13:25 SO LET'S WATCH THE, LET'S WATCH THE PARADE. 13:27 (MUSIC, DRUMS) FOR MANY YEARS INDIA FOUGHT FOR 13:34 IT'S INDEPENDENCE FROM BRITISH RULE. 13:38 THE TWENTY-THIRD OF JANUARY IS THE BIRTHDAY OF 13:43 ONE OF THESE FIGHTERS. 13:45 PERHAPS ONE OF THESE MOST FAMOUS FIGHTERS WAS 13:48 MAHATMA GANDHI REMEMBERED FOR HIS SUCCESSFUL 13:52 NON-VIOLENCE PROTESTS. 13:54 HE ENCOURAGED CITIZENS TO STOP BUYING BRITISH GOODS, 13:59 AVOID PAYING TAXES AND ENCOURAGED PEACEFUL 14:02 PROTESTS AND MARCHES. 14:04 WHEN IMPRISONED HE REFUSED TO EAT FOR 21 DAYS. 14:10 ON THIS TWENTY-THIRD OF JANUARY SUBHAS CHANDRA 14:15 BOSE'S BIRTHDAY IS CELEBRATED. 14:18 UNFORTUNATELY HE SUPPORTED BRITAIN'S ENEMIES DURING 14:22 THE SECOND WORLD WAR. 14:24 HE SAID GIVE ME YOUR BLOOD AND I'LL GIVE YOU FREEDOM. 14:27 IN 1947 WAR TORN BRITAIN GAVE INDIA FREEDOM. 14:34 OUR GOSPEL OUTREACH WORKERS ARE STILL FIGHTING 14:39 FOR FREEDOM AS SOLDIERS OF THE CROSS. 14:42 THEY ARE ON THE WINING SIDE BUT THE FIGHT IS 14:46 REAL. 14:47 THIS GOSPEL OUTREACH WORKER IS ON DUTY IN A 14:52 VILLAGE. 14:53 (WORKER SPEAKING) IT WASN'T EASY TO GET THERE. 14:58 (VEHICLE SOUND) I HAVE TO WATCH MY G O WALK OVER 15:05 HERE JUST TO SHOW ME HOW IT'S DONE. 15:08 I FOLLOWED HIM OVER THE MAIN APPROACH BRIDGE TO 15:11 THE VILLAGE. 15:13 IT LOOKED SO EASY BUT THE BRIDGE WAS A BIT TRICKY. 15:16 NOT EVERYTHING WAS ACTUALLY THERE. 15:19 I WAS A LITTLE CAUTIOUS AND MY ASSESSMENT WAS THEY 15:23 COULD DEFINITELY MAKE A BETTER BRIDGE THAN THAT IF 15:26 THEY TRIED. 15:28 ONCE ON SOLID GROUND AGAIN I WAS INTRODUCED TO A MAN 15:34 WHO WAS A PASTOR IN THE BELIEVERS CHURCH. 15:37 THAT'S A POPULAR PROTESTANT CHURCH IN 15:39 INDIA. 15:40 HE MET OUR GOSPEL OUTREACH WORKER IN THE MARKET 15:43 PLACE. 15:45 THEY SAT AND THEY TALKED AND OUR WORKER INVITED THE 15:49 PASTOR TO VISIT HIS CHURCH. 15:51 OUR WORKER HAD BEEN PRAYING FOR THIS TYPE OF 15:54 OPENING AND HE WAS READY. 15:57 THEY TALKED TOGETHER, THEY STUDIED THE BIBLE TOGETHER 16:01 AND THE PASTOR HAD SOME INTERESTING QUESTIONS. 16:05 THEY ATE TOGETHER, VISITED TOGETHER, PRAYED TOGETHER. 16:08 OUR WORKER EVEN PREACHED IN THE PASTOR'S CHURCH AND 16:13 THE PASTOR REALIZED THAT AFTER LOOKING AT SOME OF 16:16 THE BIBLE DOCTRINES IN A DIFFERENT WAY HE NEEDED TO 16:21 MAKE SOME DECISIONS. 16:23 IN THE END THE PASTOR DECIDED TO LEAVE HIS POST 16:29 AS A BELIEVERS PASTOR AND HE IS NOW BAPTIZED WITH 19 16:35 OF HIS OLD CHURCH MEMBERS. 16:37 I WALKED OVER THE FIELDS WITH OUR GOSPEL OUTREACH 16:40 WORKER AND VISITED WITH SOME OF HIS NEW MEMBERS. 16:43 SOME OF THE YOUNG MEN HAVE STARTED AN ENGLISH MEDIUM 16:46 SCHOOL WHICH IS RUNNING VERY SUCCESSFULLY. 16:50 THEY WERE ANXIOUS TO SING FOR ME AND TO SHOW OFF 16:53 THEIR USE OF ENGLISH. 16:54 (CHILDREN SINGING) I SINGLED OUT ONE OF THE 17:00 LEAD SINGERS AS A FUTURE GOSPEL OUTREACH WORKER. 17:04 (CHILDREN SINGING I SURRENDER) BUT WHAT ABOUT 17:14 THAT PASTOR. 17:17 SHOULDN'T WE SET HIM TO WORK AS ONE OF OUR NEW 17:20 GOSPEL OUTREACH WORKERS? 17:22 WELL YES, BUT THAT'S WHERE YOU COME INTO THE FIGHT. 17:28 WE NEED YOUR PRAYERS FOR OUR GOSPEL OUTREACH WORKER 17:31 BUT WE ALSO NEED YOUR FINANCIAL HELP WITH THE 17:37 WAR EFFORT. 17:38 LET'S FUND SOME MORE SOLDIERS. 17:43 (LAUGHTER) EXCELLENT. 17:45 I LOVE THAT SINGING. 17:46 THAT WAS FUN. 17:48 YES, SO THAT LITTLE BOY HE REALLY STOOD OUT. 17:51 I THINK HE WAS THE ONLY ONE THAT REALLY COULD READ 17:54 AND KNEW THE WORDS AND I THOUGHT TO MYSELF YES, 17:59 HE'S OUR NEXT GOSPEL OUTREACH WORKER. 18:02 HE'S THE ONE THAT WE'RE GOING TO CHOSE. 18:06 BUT THIS IS THE THING YOU SEE. 18:08 THERE IS A WAR GOING ON AND WE'RE IN THAT WAR. 18:12 AND WE NEED MORE FUNDS, WAR FUNDS FOR THE WAR 18:18 EFFORT. 18:19 SO MY APPEAL IS THAT OUR LISTENERS WILL BE WILLING 18:24 TO SHARE A LITTLE OF WHAT THEY ARE ENJOYING 18:28 THEMSELVES AND SHARE THAT WITH THE WAR EFFORT. 18:32 ABSOLUTELY. 18:33 WE NEED TO BE PART OF WHAT'S GOING ON HERE. 18:36 THEY ARE EXCITING STORIES BECAUSE AS MORE AND MORE 18:37 PEOPLE COME TO KNOW NEW THINGS ABOUT GOD, JUST 18:38 LIKE WE SAW IN THIS STORY HERE YOU KNOW. 18:40 HE ALREADY KNEW ABOUT JESUS, HE ALREADY KNEW 18:41 ABOUT GOD BUT HE LEARNED SOME NEW THINGS. 18:42 AS MORE AND MORE COME TO KNOW THEY'RE GOING TO WANT 18:45 TO SHARE. 18:47 IT WOULD BE GREAT IF WE COULD SPONSOR HIM. 18:55 YES BECAUSE HE'S ALREADY A PASTOR. 18:57 HE ALREADY KNOWS THE ROPES. 19:00 HE ALREADY KNOWS HOW TO WORK. 19:02 LET'S EMPLOY HIM AS A GOSPEL OUTREACH WORKER. 19:05 ABSOLUTELY. 19:06 BUT OF COURSE THAT'S GOING TO TAKE ABOUT 120 DOLLARS 19:08 A MONTH. 19:09 NOT MUCH. 19:10 NOT MUCH, 120 DOLLARS A MONTH YOU ARE HEARING THAT 19:14 AMOUNT. 19:15 IT SOUNDS SO SMALL TO US HERE IN NORTH AMERICA. 19:18 YES. 19:18 IT REALLY DOES. 19:19 IS THAT A FAIR WAGE? 19:21 A LIVABLE WAGE FOR AS LONG AS DON'T HAVE ANY MEDICAL 19:25 PROBLEMS. 19:26 OKAY. 19:28 SO EVEN A LITTLE MORE WOULDN'T HURT. 19:30 ALRIGHT, WELL I KNOW THAT YOU ALSO HAVE A VIDEO OF 19:34 AMAZING FACES. 19:36 YES. 19:37 ONE OF MY FRIENDS HAD SEEN SOME PICTURES THAT I HAVE 19:42 OF INDIAN PEOPLE IN MY HOME AND THEY SAID TO ME, 19:47 WHY DON'T YOU MAKE A PROGRAM JUST WITH FACES. 19:50 SO I SPOKE TO MY EDITOR WHILE I WAS WITH HIM THIS 19:55 SPRING AND HE SAID YES. 19:57 HE SAID WE COULD DO THAT. 19:58 SO I'M GOING TO SHOW YOU A LITTLE PROGRAM OF FACES 20:03 AND I SAY SOMETHING ABOUT THEM AS WE ARE WATCHING 20:05 THEM. 20:06 OKAY. 20:07 (MUSIC) SO THESE WERE TWO DANCING GIRLS THAT PUT ON 20:11 A PROGRAM FOR US WHEN WE WENT TO VISIT THEM. 20:14 SHE IS A GOSPEL OUTREACH WORKER THE ONE ON THE 20:16 LEFT. 20:17 (MUSIC PLAYING)

20:49 YES. 20:50 (MORE MUSIC, DRUMS STRING INSTRUMENT) THE PEOPLE 20:55 ENJOY HAVING THEIR PICTURE TAKEN. 20:59 USUALLY THEY WILL SMILE ALTHOUGH SOME MEN LIKE TO 21:05 APPEAR TO BE MORE SERIOUS. 21:09 SOLDIERS THERE. 21:10 (MUSIC CONTINUING ON) THE COLORFUL INTERESTING 21:15 CHARACTERS THAT YOU FIND UP THERE IN TRIPURA. 21:20 THEY HAVE LOTS AND LOTS OF BEADS AND THINGS THAT THEY 21:28 MAKE AROUND THEIR NECK. 21:32 AND THEN THEY JUST KEEP THEM ON ALL THE TIME. 21:34 WORKING IN THE FIELDS AND THEY WILL HAVE THEM ON. 21:37 THEY'LL HAVE THEM ON YES. 21:40 (MUSIC AND DRUMS) AND YOU SEE QUITE A FEW, WELL YOU 21:45 SEE LOTS OF PEOPLE SMOKING THERE. 21:47 (MUSIC AND DRUMS CONTINUE PLAYING) YOU NOTICE THERE 21:53 HOW VERY INTERESTING EARRINGS THESE LADIES HAVE 22:02 WITH EXTENDED EARS. 22:07 YES. 22:09 (MUSIC TALKING AND LAUGHING) BEAUTIFUL 22:17 PEOPLE. 22:18 THEY ARE BEAUTIFUL PEOPLE THAT GOD LOVES. 22:21 THE GIRL ON THE LEFT SHE IS A MUSLIM AND WE PAID 22:25 FOR HER, THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNION PAID FOR HER, TO 22:29 GO TO OUR CHURCH COLLEGE AND SHE WAS BAPTIZED AS AN 22:38 ADVENTIST. 22:40 (MUSIC, DRUMS PLAYING RAPIDLY AND LOUDLY) SO THE 22:55 THINGS AROUND THEIR HEADS, YES, THEY ARE

FACES WHAT DOES 23:21 THAT MEAN TO YOUR HEART? 23:23 OH WHEN I SEE THE FACES AND I THINK ABOUT WHERE I 23:26 TOOK THE PICTURE AND IT BRINGS BACK STORIES 23:29 BECAUSE SOME OF THOSE CHARACTERS THAT

EFFORT. 23:50 WE ARE HELPING TO FUND THE FREEDOM FIGHTERS. 23:59 THAT'S OUR JOB AS LISTENERS. 24:01 SO I HOPE THAT SOME OF OUR LISTENERS TODAY WILL 24:04 DECIDE TO GET INVOLVED IN THE WAR EFFORT AND HELP 24:11 SUPPORT SOME OF THOSE FREEDOM FIGHTERS. 24:13 ABSOLUTELY. 24:14 HE MAKES A COMPELLING APPEAL AND I ALSO HOPE 24:18 THAT AS YOU ARE WATCHING THE PROGRAM TODAY AND YOU 24:21 SEE THESE MANY
