00:33 GOOD NEWS.
00:34 DO YOU WANT TO HEAR GOOD NEWS? 00:35 WELL WE HAVE GOOD NEWS HERE FOR YOU AT 00:37 "ADVENTURES IN MISSIONS" AT GOSPEL OUTREACH. 00:39 I'M JULIE SANDERS KEYMER AND THE BEST GOOD NEWS IS 00:42 THAT JESUS LOVES US AND THAT HE DIED FOR US AND HE 00:45 IS COMING AGAIN SOON. 00:46 AND HE HAS TOLD US THAT IN HIS BIBLE, IN GOD'S WORD, 00:49 AND WE ARE WANTING TO SHARE THAT WITH PEOPLE 00:51 AROUND THE WORLD AND SPECIFICALLY IN THE 10/40 00:54 WINDOW FROM WEST AFRICA ALL THE WAY THROUGH ASIA. 00:58 SO MANY COUNTRIES, SO MANY PEOPLE AND THEY NEED TO 01:01 KNOW THE GOOD NEWS. 01:02 AND THAT'S WHAT WE ARE WANTING TO SHARE AT GOSPEL 01:05 OUTREACH AND HERE ON THE SET OF "ADVENTURES IN 01:07 MISSIONS" WITH SHIRLEY PANASUK AND BEV THOMPSON. 01:10 WELCOME TO BOTH OF YOU. 01:11 THANK YOU. 01:11 IT'S A PRIVILEGE TO BE HERE. 01:13 I LOVE IT. 01:14 WE LOVE HAVING YOU HERE AND WE ARE GOING TO BE 01:17 TRAVELING TO AN AREA OF WHERE? 01:20 JUST NORTH OF CALCUTTA. 01:22 OKAY. 01:23 TO A PLACE CALLED BOINCHI. 01:25 BOINCHI, WELL NOW THAT'S KIND OF FUN TO SAY 01:27 SHIRLEY. 01:27 BOINCHI. 01:28 I LIKE IT. 01:29 SO TELL US ABOUT THE GOSPEL OUTREACH WORKERS. 01:31 SO THE GOSPEL OUTREACH WORKERS ARE THERE. 01:33 AND BEV AND SHIRLEY MAYBE THERE IS SOMEONE WHO IS 01:37 TUNING FOR THE VERY FIRST TIME TO "ADVENTURES IN 01:40 MISSIONS" AND EXPLAIN WHAT A GOSPEL OUTREACH WORKER 01:43 IS AND WHAT THEY DO. 01:45 A GOSPEL OUTREACH WORKER IS A LOCAL PERSON, 01:47 SOMEBODY THAT LIVES THERE AND WOULD LIKE TO BE 01:51 SPREADING THE GOSPEL ALL THE TIME, BUT THEY HAVE TO 01:55 TAKE CARE OF THEIR FAMILIES AND BRING IN 01:58 ENOUGH MONEY FOR FOOD AND CLOTHING AND SHELTER. 02:02 BUT IF THEY GET PAID BY GOSPEL OUTREACH THEN THEY 02:06 ARE ABLE TO SPREAD THE GOSPEL INSTEAD. 02:08 AND SO IT IS A JOY FOR THEM TO BE ABLE TO DO 02:11 THIS. 02:12 USUALLY THESE PEOPLE THAT ARE SELECTED ARE BECAUSE 02:15 THEY ARE TRYING TO DO THIS ANYWAY IN THEIR SPARE TIME 02:18 WHICH IS AFTER DARK. 02:21 IT'S DIFFICULT. 02:23 AND SO THEY ARE ALREADY DOING IT. 02:25 THEY ARE LOVELY PEOPLE, FRIENDLY PEOPLE AND THEY 02:28 ARE SPREADING THE GOOD NEWS ABOUT JESUS CHRIST. 02:30 AND SHIRLEY WHAT ARE SOME OF THE THINGS THAT THEY DO 02:32 AS GOSPEL OUTREACH WORKERS? 02:34 WE HAVE A SYLLABUS OF STORIES THAT WE ASK THEM 02:38 TO MEMORIZE, BIBLE STORIES. 02:40 WELL FIRST OF ALL THEY HAVE TO HAVE AN 02:41 EXPERIENTIAL STORY THEMSELVES. 02:42 SO THEIR OWN TESTIMONY OF WHAT GOD HAS DONE IN THEIR 02:43 LIFE. 02:46 ABSOLUTELY. 02:47 AND THEY GO VISITING PEOPLE AND PEOPLE WILL 02:49 TELL THEM THEIR HARD-LUCK STORY, SO TO SPEAK, AND 02:53 THEN THEY WILL SAY, WELL YOU KNOW I HAD THIS 02:58 EXPERIENCE OR I HAVE THIS EXPERIENCE AND I WANT TO 03:02 TELL YOU A STORY. 03:04 SO THEN THEY WILL TELL THEM THE STORY. 03:07 MAYBE NOT EVEN TELL THEM A STORY ESPECIALLY THE FIRST 03:09 TIME BECAUSE WE ENCOURAGE THEM TO DEVELOP A 03:12 FRIENDSHIP. 03:13 WE ASK THEM TO GO TO PRAY WITH PEOPLE NO MATTER HOW 03:17 LONG THEY HAVE KNOWN THIS PERSON. 03:19 WHEN THIS PERSON TELLS THEM THE HEARTACHES THAT 03:21 THEY HAVE THEN THEY CAN PRAY FOR THEM. 03:22 THEY CAN INTRODUCE THEM TO JESUS. 03:24 AND THEN THEY CAN DO, IF THEY'RE SICK AND THEY 03:25 VISIT HOMES THEY FIND OUT SOMEBODY IS SICK. 03:30 THEY GO IN AND THEY DO TREATMENTS. 03:36 WATER TREATMENTS, CHARCOAL TREATMENTS AND PRAY WITH 03:40 THE FAMILY. 03:41 AND THEY GO BACK CONSISTENTLY AND AS THEY 03:43 GO, THE MORE THEY GO THE BETTER THEY GET TO KNOW 03:46 THESE PEOPLE. 03:47 AND THEN THESE PEOPLE SAY, WELL YOU KNOW TELL US 03:51 ABOUT THIS JESUS AND THIS IS HOW THEY DO THIS. 03:54 WELL IT'S FRIENDSHIP EVANGELISM. 03:55 EXACTLY. 03:56 IT'S WHAT WE ALL NEED TO BE DOING NO MATTER WHERE 03:58 WE LIVE. 03:59 YES. 04:00 THIS IS PART OF THE HEALTH MINISTRY THAT SHE WAS 04:03 TALKING ABOUT. 04:04 WE ALSO HAVE THEM DO LITERACY CLASSES. 04:06 GOOD. 04:06 RIGHT. 04:07 ANOTHER THING THEY DO IS THEY TAKE THE CHILDREN AS 04:10 THEY COME OUT OF SCHOOL AND THEY NEED TUTORING OR 04:13 HELP WITH THEIR LESSONS AND SO THEY WILL DO FREE 04:16 TUTORING. 04:17 OR THEY'LL HAVE A BIBLE STUDY HOUR. 04:20 AND IN SOME CASES THE WIFE OF THE GOSPEL OUTREACH 04:25 WORKER BECOMES INVOLVED AS A HELPER WITH HER HUSBAND 04:28 BECAUSE SHE HAS BEEN GOING OUT AND SEEING WHAT HE IS 04:31 DOING. 04:32 AND SO THEN SHE WANTS TO HELP HIM AND WANTS THE 04:34 LADIES TO KNOW. 04:35 AND THEN THEY HAVE THESE MEGAVOICE BOXES. 04:40 THESE ARE WONDERFUL. 04:41 THESE ARE THE LITTLE SOLAR-POWERED MEGAVOICE 04:44 PLAYERS AND THEY CAN PLAY. 04:46 WE CAN PUT ALL SORTS OF DIFFERENT LANGUAGES, BIBLE 04:49 STORIES AND EVERYTHING ON THESE. 04:51 THEY ARE MARVELOUS. 04:52 IN ONE PLACE THEY PLUG IN WITH A WIRE FROM THE 04:55 MEGAVOICE TO A LOUD SPEAKER OVER A SMALL 04:58 VILLAGE AT SIX O'CLOCK EVERY MORNING. 05:01 LET'S SEE, I'LL TURN THIS ON AND, WELL IT'S NOT 05:02 COMING UP. 05:03 BUT YES THERE'S A SPEAKER HERE BUT THEN YOU CAN ALSO 05:04 PLUG IT IN. 05:05 AND THESE MEGAVOICES, THE LANGUAGE THAT'S COMING OUT 05:06 IS THE LANGUAGE OF THE PEOPLE IN THAT PARTICULAR 05:07 INDIGENOUS AREA. 05:08 SO GOSPEL OUTREACH, THE BEAUTIFUL THING ABOUT 05:09 GOSPEL OUTREACH IS THESE ARE PEOPLE WHO SPEAK THE 05:10 LANGUAGE, THEY'RE TALKING WITH THEIR FRIENDS IN THE 05:12 MARKETPLACE, IN THEIR TOWNS AND THEIR VILLAGES. 05:13 SO IT'S NOT LIKE WE'RE HAVING TO FLY SOMEONE OVER 05:15 THERE, THEY LEARN THE LANGUAGE AND ALL THAT. 05:35 THESE ARE LOCAL PEOPLE. 05:36 AND THEY ALREADY KNOW HOW TO LIVE AND ACT IN THAT 05:39 CULTURE. 05:40 AND SOME OF THESE EXPERIENCES ARE SOMETHING 05:42 THAT MOST PEOPLE AREN'T FAMILIAR WITH . 05:44 (HORN HONKING, TRAFFIC NOISE) THIS TRAIN IS 05:49 COMING THROUGH A RESIDENTIAL AREA. 05:52 I TOOK THIS MYSELF AND YOU CAN SEE HOW, YOU CAN SEE 05:56 UNDERNEATH THE TRAIN TRACK. 05:57 LOOK HOW THE PEOPLE ARE LIVING SO CLOSE TO THAT 05:59 TRAIN TRACK. 06:00 RIGHT THERE. 06:01 THERE'S HOME SWEET HOME RIGHT THERE. 06:02 THAT'S RIGHT. 06:03 AND BY THE WAY WE WERE ON THIS STREET. 06:06 YOU WERE ON THE STREET WHEN THE TRAIN WAS COMING. 06:09 WOW. 06:10 SO THEIR HOUSES ARE RIGHT THERE. 06:12 THEY'RE RIGHT THERE. 06:13 THAT IS SCARY. 06:14 AND THERE ARE LITTLE KIDS RIGHT THERE WHEN THE TRAIN 06:17 IS THERE? 06:18 OH LISTEN, THESE CHILDREN ARE STREET WISE. 06:20 YES. 06:21 THEY KNOW. 06:23 BECAUSE THE TRAIN DOES HONK ITS HORN. 06:25 BUT WERE ON OUR WAY INTO CALCUTTA TO THE TRAIN 06:29 STATION AND THERE WAS A TRAFFIC JAM. 06:32 SO THE POLICE GAVE US THE OPPORTUNITY TO TURN LEFT 06:35 AND GO ON OUR OWN INSTEAD OF STAYING IN THE TRAFFIC 06:39 JAM. 06:41 AND SO THEY USE A GPS AND IT TOOK US RIGHT INTO THIS 06:44 TRAIN AREA. 06:45 WHAT AN EXPERIENCE. 06:46 (LAUGHTER) ABSOLUTELY. 06:48 SO BOTH OF YOU, YOU GO AND YOU MEET WITH THE REGIONAL 06:52 DIRECTORS AND YOU'RE GETTING THE REPORT OF HOW 06:55 EVERYTHING IS GOING, WHAT WE CAN DO HERE AT GOSPEL 06:57 OUTREACH TO HELP THEM AND NEEDED FUNDING AND THINGS 07:01 LIKE THAT. 07:01 CORRECT? 07:02 YES. 07:04 AND WE EVEN MEET THE GOSPEL OUTREACH WORKERS 07:07 THEMSELVES AS WELL AS THEIR WIVES WHO COME 07:10 BECAUSE BEVERLY GIVES TALKS AND TRAINING. 07:12 TRAINING. 07:12 I KNOW YOU DO TRAINING. 07:13 WHEN THE WIVES COME THE WIVES SIT ON ONE SIDE WITH 07:14 THE CHILDREN AND THE MEN SIT ON THE OTHER SIDE. 07:16 BECAUSE CULTURALLY THAT'S WHAT THEY DO. 07:21 THAT'S WHAT THEY DO. 07:24 CORRECT. 07:25 I'D LIKE YOU TO THINK ABOUT THAT TRAIN AS YOU 07:28 LISTEN TO OUR FIRST STORY HERE. 07:31 (SPEAKING OTHER LANGUAGE) IN MY HOME WE HAVE A LOT 07:34 OF PROBLEMS. 07:35 WAY TOO MUCH TROUBLE. 07:36 MY MOTHER STARTED ATTENDING SOME CHRISTIAN 07:37 MEETINGS AND OVER THE PHONE SHE TAUGHT ME HOW TO 07:38 PRAY. 07:39 I WROTE DOWN THE INSTRUCTIONS ON HOW TO 07:40 PRAY. 07:41 I FELT GOOD THAT I COULD NOW PRAY TO JESUS IN MY 07:42 OWN HOME. 07:43 I WAS NOW A BELIEVER IN GOD AND I COULD NOW 07:44 WORSHIP HIM THROUGH PRAYER. 07:45 I DID NOT KNOW THE HUSBAND AND WIFE GOSPEL OUTREACH 07:46 WORKERS THAT WERE TEACHING MY MOTHER. 07:48 ONE DAY ON A TRAIN I MET THE GOSPEL OUTREACH 07:49 WORKERS AND THEY TOLD ME WHERE THEY HAD MEETING 07:50 PLACE. 07:51 I THEN DECIDED THAT NO MATTER WHAT DIFFICULTIES I 08:19 MAY BE HAVING THEY WILL NOT STOP ME FROM GOING TO 08:22 THEIR MEETINGS. 08:36 AND SO I WAS ABLE TO ATTEND THEIR MEETINGS AND 08:40 THE PRAYER SERVICE. 08:41 MY HUSBAND HAS AN AUTOMOTIVE PART SHOP THAT 08:47 DID WELL, BUT MY HUSBAND WAS UNDER SATAN'S CONTROL 08:52 WITH THE HABIT OF DRINKING AND SMOKING. 08:55 THIS HABIT AFFECTED HIS BUSINESS AND HE BEGAN TO 09:01 LOSE CUSTOMERS. 09:03 HE WASN'T REPLENISHING HIS STOCK SO CUSTOMERS QUIT 09:09 COMING TO HIS SHOP FOR PARTS. 09:13 THE INCOME FROM THE SHOP DROPPED DRAMATICALLY TO A 09:18 LEVEL THAT COULDN'T SUPPORT OUR FAMILY. 09:22 MY HUSBAND WOULD WASTE MORE MONEY BY BUYING 09:25 LOTTERY TICKETS. 09:26 HE WOULD LOSE SO HE WOULD GO OUT AND GET DRUNK AND 09:31 THEN HE WOULD BE ANGRY WITH ME AND ABUSIVE. 09:35 I HAD HAD A HAPPY FAMILY BUT NOW IT WAS RUINED. 09:41 AFTER PRAYING TO JESUS AND HAVING THE GOSPEL OUTREACH 09:44 WORKERS PRAYING, THE PEACE HAS RETURNED. 09:45 MEANWHILE MY MOTHER-IN-LAW AND FATHER-IN-LAW WERE NOT 09:47 GETTING ALONG WITH EACH OTHER. 09:48 THEY WERE UPSET WITH ME BECAUSE I WAS PRAYING TO 09:48 GOD AND THE GOSPEL OUTREACH WORKERS WOULD 09:50 COME AND PRAY AT MY HOUSE. 09:51 MY HUSBAND AND HIS FATHER WOULD GET INTO A FIGHT AND 09:52 I WOULD PRAY TO THE LORD. 09:53 WHY ISN'T THERE PEACE BETWEEN FATHER AND SON? 09:54 THEY MUST BECOME ONE. 09:55 THEY MUST LOVE ONE ANOTHER. 09:56 ONE DAY MY MOTHER-IN-LAW GAVE HER SON SOME MONEY TO 09:57 RESTOCK HIS SHOP. 09:58 THE SALES BEGAN TO RAPIDLY PICK UP. 10:01 THIS STRENGTHENED MY FAITH IN PRAYER AND I KNEW I 10:43 DIDN'T NEED ANY OTHER GODS BUT JESUS. 10:47 I ALMOST LOST MY FATHER BUT GOD SAVED MY FATHER. 10:51 HE FELL ONTO THE TRACK WHILE THE TRAIN WAS 10:56 COMING. 10:57 MY MOTHER QUICKLY PRAYED AND SOMEONE IN THE TRAIN 11:01 PULLED THE EMERGENCY CORD AND THE TRAIN STOPPED 11:05 BEFORE RUNNING OVER HIM. 11:08 HE WAS CUT AND BRUISED BUT HE WAS OKAY AND WAS ABLE 11:12 TO COME HOME. 11:15 SINCE THAT TIME MY RELATIONSHIP WITH MY 11:17 MOTHER-IN-LAW AND FATHER-IN-LAW HAS GOTTEN 11:20 MUCH BETTER. 11:22 I'M GLAD TO SAY THAT THE SHOP IS DOING WELL AGAIN. 11:26 LIFE IS NOT WITHOUT TROUBLES BUT GOD IS ALWAYS 11:30 THERE TO HEAR AND ANSWER OUR PRAYERS. 11:33 WOW. 11:34 THIS DEAR WOMAN HAS HAD A LOT GOING ON IN HER LIFE. 11:39 YES. 11:40 I'M JUST SMILING. 11:41 SHE LEARNED HOW TO PRAY ON THE PHONE. 11:44 SO WHEN WE GET ON THE PHONE AND WE'RE TALKING TO 11:47 SOMEBODY ARE WE HELPING THEM WITH TEACHING THEM 11:50 HOW TO PRAY IF THEY DON'T KNOW HOW TO PRAY. 11:52 I MEAN THIS WOMAN TOOK THE TIME TO DO THIS ON THE 11:54 PHONE BEV. 11:56 THIS HAS BEEN A PHONE MINISTRY YEAR BECAUSE OF 11:59 COVID. 11:59 YES. 12:00 IN FACT, AT ONE OF OUR LARGE AREAS NEAR CALCUTTA 12:03 THE PRESIDENT OF THE AREA TOLD ALL GOSPEL OUTREACH 12:08 WORKERS THAT THEY HAD TO BUY A VIDEO PHONE AND 12:14 EVERY DAY THEY HAD TO GET ON THE PHONE IN THE 12:16 MORNING AND HAVE WORSHIP TOGETHER WITH HIM AND 12:18 EVERY EVENING THE SAME. 12:20 HE WAS GIVING THEM MEMORY VERSES TO GIVE AND THEN 12:23 THEY HAD TO MAKE 20 PHONE CALLS, A MINIMUM OF 20 12:27 PHONE CALLS EVERY DAY BETWEEN MORNING AND 12:30 EVENING WORSHIP. 12:32 THESE ARE THE KIND OF EXPERIENCES THAT I HAVE 12:34 HAD, SEVERAL OF THESE ABOUT PHONE MINISTRY. 12:40 WELL PRAISE THE LORD. 12:41 HOW MANY PRAYERS DID YOU GET OUT OF 20 PHONE CALLS. 12:45 IT'S THE MAJORITY. 12:48 I LOVE IT. 12:48 I LOVE IT. 12:49 AND I COME FROM A BACKGROUND OF SALES AND 12:51 STILL DO AND WE CALL IT DIALING FOR DOLLARS AND 12:54 YOU'VE GOT TO KEEP YOUR SALES FUNNEL FULL AND ALL 12:56 THIS STUFF. 12:57 AND SO DIALING FOR PRAYERS FOR THE LORD AND FOR 13:01 ACCEPTING JESUS CHRIST. 13:03 WELL ISN'T THAT FANTASTIC. 13:04 AND BEV, SHE MENTIONED ALCOHOL, HER HUSBAND'S 13:07 ADDICTION TO ALCOHOL. 13:08 IT IS THE EPITOME OF THE DEVIL. 13:13 YES. 13:14 EVERYWHERE IN THE WORLD ALCOHOL IS A PROBLEM. 13:16 BUT IN INDIA IT JUST BREAKS MY HEART. 13:20 HERE THIS MAN IS CLIMBING A DATE PALM TREE TO TAKE 13:24 THE SAP AND MAKE IT INTO ALCOHOL. 13:28 THE SAP FROM THE PALM TREE. 13:29 HE WILL HAVE A BUCKET, YES HE HAS A BUCKET RIGHT 13:34 BEHIND HIM AND HE GETS IT FROM THE PALM TREE. 13:38 THEN THE WOMEN BOIL IT AND MAKE IT INTO ALCOHOL AND 13:43 THE MEN SIT AROUND AND DRINK IT. 13:45 AND HOW IN THE WORLD DID THEY FIGURE THAT OUT. 13:46 WOW. 13:48 I FOUND THAT THEY CAN MAKE ALCOHOL OUT OF SAP FROM 13:52 ANY TREE AND THEY CAN MAKE IT FROM RICE. 13:55 YES. 13:56 AND FROM CORN. 13:58 JUST ABOUT ANYTHING YOU CAN THINK OF THEY CAN MAKE 14:01 IT. 14:02 AND IT SOUNDS LIKE THEY ARE DOING IT. 14:03 WELL AGAIN MORE FOR US TO PRAY FOR. 14:05 THAT'S RIGHT. 14:06 AND THIS DEAR WOMAN. 14:07 AND WHO IS THIS MAN? 14:09 THIS MAN HAS GOT HIS SAP FROM THAT DATE TREE AND IS 14:12 READY TO TAKE IT HOME FOR HIS WIFE TO MAKE IT INTO 14:15 ALCOHOL. 14:17 WOW. 14:18 LOTS TO PRAYER FOR. 14:18 LOTS TO PRAYER FOR. 14:20 THERE IT IS IN THE BUCKET THERE. 14:22 WELL THE WOMAN SHARED HOW SHE LEARNED HOW TO PRAY ON 14:25 THE PHONE. 14:26 AND IF YOU'RE EXCITED ABOUT THAT AND WE'RE 14:27 EXCITED ABOUT IT WE ENCOURAGE YOU TO LEARN 14:30 MORE ABOUT GOSPEL OUTREACH. 14:33 WHY HASN'T JESUS COME. 14:35 IT'S BECAUSE WE HAVE A JOB TO DO. 14:38 ONE THAT HIS RETURN DEPENDS ON. 14:40 THE BIBLE TELLS US THAT CHRIST WILL COME AFTER THE 14:43 GOSPEL HAS BEEN PREACHED IN ALL THE WORLD. 14:46 THE WORLD'S POPULATION EXCEEDS 7 BILLION BUT 3 14:49 BILLION PEOPLE STILL NEED TO HEAR ABOUT JESUS' LOVE. 14:53 NINETY-SEVEN PERCENT OF THE UNREACHED PEOPLE LIVE 14:56 IN THE AREA FROM 10-40 DEGREES NORTH OF THE 14:59 EQUATOR. 15:00 FROM WEST AFRICA, THE MIDDLE EAST, INDIA, CHINA, 15:01 TO JAPAN. 15:02 GOSPEL OUTREACH HAS A UNIQUE APPROACH. 15:03 WITH THE SUPPORT OF PEOPLE LIKE YOU WE SPONSOR LOCAL 15:06 GOSPEL WORKERS IN MORE THAN 50 COUNTRIES. 15:08 BECAUSE THEY KNOW THE LANGUAGE, CULTURE AND 15:11 RELIGIONS OF THEIR NEIGHBORS THEY FACE FEWER 15:13 CHALLENGES THAN FOREIGN MISSIONARIES WOULD. 15:16 TOGETHER WITH YOU WE FUND MORE THAN 2000 BIBLE

STORIES ABOUT WHAT GOD CONTINUES TO DO 15:45 DESPITE THE FACT THAT MANY OF OUR GOSPEL OUTREACH 15:48 WORKERS HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO SEE OTHER PEOPLE FACE 15:51 TO FACE BUT THEY HAVE BEEN ON THE PHONE TEACHING 15:53 PEOPLE HOW TO PRAY BEV. 15:55 IT'S A WONDERFUL EXPERIENCE. 15:57 WHEN I GET THE REPORTS ON ZOOM MEETINGS FROM INDIA 16:00 THEY JUST SAY MORE HAS HAPPENED IN THE LAST YEAR 16:03 THAN THE YEAR BEFORE. 16:04 WONDERFUL. 16:05 AND BEV GETS SO EXCITED. 16:07 AND SHE CALLS ME UP, SHIRLEY. 16:09 AND THEN I GET EXCITED. 16:11 SHE'LL SAY, I JUST GOT OFF THE PHONE WITH NURO BINDO. 16:14 I'M JUST SO EXCITED. 16:15 AND THEN OF COURSE I GET EXCITED AND THEN I GO IN 16:18 MY ROOM AND PRAY FOR WHAT'S GOING ON OVERSEAS. 16:22 GOOD. 16:23 AND ALCOHOL DOESN'T NEED TO BE IN A FANCY PLACE. 16:26 THAT PERSON THAT WENT UP AND COLLECTED THE SAP THAT 16:31 WE SAW JUST A LITTLE BIT AGO, THESE ARE GROUPS OF 16:34 PEOPLE UNDER TREES THAT ARE SELLING ALCOHOL. 16:38 THE LADIES GO OUT AND MAKE THEIR EXTRA MONEY BY 16:40 SELLING ALCOHOL THAT THEY HAVE MADE. 16:43 YOU MIGHT CALL THIS AN OUTDOOR BEER PARLOR RIGHT 16:46 THERE. 16:47 RIGHT THERE. 16:48 AND THE MEN ARE JUST SITTING AROUND DRINKING 16:50 WHILE THE WOMEN ARE SELLING. 16:52 SO THE WOMEN ARE SELLING IT AND THE MEN ARE THERE 16:54 DRINKING. 16:55 AND THIS IS THE MIDDLE OF THE DAY LADIES. 16:57 THIS IS NOT IN THE EVENING. 16:58 THAT'S RIGHT. 17:00 IT CAN BE ANYTIME. 17:01 YES. 17:02 WOW. 17:03 WELL AND THE WOMAN SAID OUR HOME WAS HAPPY UNTIL. 17:06 OKAY THAT VIDEO I STILL, THAT TRAIN, SO CLOSE TO 17:08 THAT TRACK AND THEN HERE SHE SAID THAT HER 17:09 FATHER-IN-LAW WAS SO CLOSE. 17:10 YOU KNOW THESE THINGS THAT WE TAKE FOR GRANTED. 17:11 THE FACT THAT AT MOST TRAIN CROSSINGS HERE IN 17:12 AMERICA THERE'S NOT A HOUSE THAT'S RIGHT SMACK 17:14 THERE. 17:15 THERE'S A GATE THAT COMES DOWN, THE LIGHTS BLINK AND 17:16 ALL OF THAT. 17:17 BUT HERE IT'S JUST THE TRAIN COMES. 17:18 GET OUT OF THE WAY. 17:18 YES, WATCH OUT, WATCH OUT. 17:20 SO YOU'RE SHARING WITH US THE GREAT NEWS THAT GOD IS 17:21 WORKING, AS WE KNOW HE IS, DESPITE THE FACT THAT 17:22 THINGS ARE CLOSED DOWN. 17:23 YOU'VE GOT SOME MORE VIDEOS TO SHARE WITH US. 17:24 I DO. 17:25 (TALKING IN OTHER LANGUAGE) BEFORE I SAY 17:26 ANYTHING I WANT TO SAY MY NAME IS ASHAK ROJBONSHI. 17:28 BEFORE I FOUND THE LORD I WAS A SINNER. 17:31 VERY DISHONEST. 17:32 I WAS ALWAYS WANTING TO FIGHT AND QUARREL WITH MY 18:00 WIFE AND MY MOTHER. 18:11 I WOULD DRINK AND FIGHT. 18:14 I WAS NOT A GOOD MAN AND I DIDN'T LIKE THE LIFE THAT 18:18 I WAS LIVING. 18:20 ONE DAY A GOSPEL OUTREACH WORKER CAME TO OUR VILLAGE 18:25 AND STARTED LIVING THERE AND TEACHING THERE. 18:30 I DISCOVERED THAT HE WAS TEACHING SOMETHING VERY 18:33 SPECIAL. 18:34 HE WAS SPEAKING ABOUT GOD'S WORD SO I STARTED 18:40 LISTENING TO GOD'S WORD FROM THE GOSPEL OUTREACH 18:42 WORKER. 18:44 SLOWLY I STARTED BELIEVING AND I WANTED TO KNOW MORE. 18:48 I THEREFORE HAD TO STUDY GOD'S HOLY WORD FOR 18:54 MYSELF. 18:56 SO I STARTED READING GOD'S WORD AND I KNEW THAT IF I 19:00 WANTED TO LIVE LIKE THE BIBLE TEACHES THEN I HAD 19:04 TO OBEY ITS TEACHINGS. 19:05 IN THE BIBLE IT IS WRITTEN THAT I WILL BE CLEANSED 19:13 THROUGH BAPTISM AND THAT I SHOULD BE FAITHFUL AND GOD 19:18 WILL GIVE ME ETERNAL LIFE. 19:22 THEN I TOLD PAUL, THE GOSPEL OUTREACH WORKER, 19:25 THAT I WANTED TO OBEY GOD AND THAT I ACCEPTED JESUS 19:29 CHRIST INTO MY LIFE. 19:32 BY ACCEPTING JESUS CHRIST INTO MY LIFE I WAS 19:37 COMPLETELY CHANGED. 19:39 NOW I HAVE PEACE AND I'M A NEW PERSON. 19:43 I DON'T DRINK. 19:45 I DON'T QUARREL OR FIGHT WITH MY WIFE OR MOTHER AND 19:49 WHAT I WANT TO DO IS SERVE GOD AND SHARE HIS WORD. 19:55 I HAVE ALREADY STARTED ONE CONGREGATION AND I'M 19:59 SHARING WHAT I HAVE LEARNED WITH MANY OTHERS. 20:04 PRAISE THE LORD. 20:05 AND YOU SEE WHAT GOSPEL OUTREACH DOES THROUGH THE 20:08 POWER OF THE LORD YES. 20:09 CHANGES LIVES. 20:10 NO ALCOHOL AND THAT'S THE BIGGEST CURSE THAT INDIA 20:12 HAS. 20:13 AMEN. 20:14 SO YOU HAVE MORE VIDEOS FOR US. 20:18 YES. 20:19 PUSHBA, TODAY YOU ARE A CHRISTIAN BUT THAT'S VERY 20:23 DIFFERENT FROM HOW YOU GREW UP. 20:25 TELL ME ABOUT THE CHANGE IN YOUR LIFE. 20:28 WHEN I WAS NOT MARRIED I WAS VERY HEALTHY BUT AFTER 20:32 THE WEDDING I BEGAN TO EXPERIENCE TROUBLE IN MY 20:36 LIFE. 20:37 THE DEVIL WANTED TO HAVE ME BUT BY FINDING JESUS 20:44 CHRIST I AM HAPPY. 20:45 BEFORE THAT I WAS ALWAYS SICK. 20:49 BUT NOW THROUGH JESUS CHRIST I AM WELL AND FREE 20:53 OF THE DEVIL. 20:54 HOW DID YOU FIRST LEARN THAT THE DEVILS WANTED TO 20:59 HAVE YOU? 21:01 (SPEAKING OTHER LANGUAGE) AFTER MY CHILD WAS BORN, 21:06 AS I WAS GOING THROUGH THAT PERIOD OF 21:10 UNCLEANNESS, I WAS MADE TO SIT OUTSIDE THE HOUSE. 21:14 IT WAS REALLY HOT BUT SUDDENLY I FELT A CHILL 21:19 AND I SAID I AM FEELING VERY COLD. 21:22 TAKE ME INSIDE. 21:24 SO THEY TOOK ME INSIDE. 21:27 I FELT THE DEVIL COME UPON ME AND I STARTED SCREAMING 21:31 AND CRYING BUT THE DEVIL WOULD NOT LEAVE ME. 21:36 WAS THERE A TIME WHERE THE DEVILS MADE PEOPLE WORSHIP 21:40 YOU? 21:41 TELL ME ABOUT THAT. 21:44 YES, WHEN THE DEVIL WOULD COME UPON ME AND MY BODY 21:49 BECAME STRESSED AND COLD AND DIFFERENT I WOULD THEN 21:54 RUN AROUND SCREAMING AND CRYING AND WORDS WOULD 21:59 COME OUT OF ME SAYING WORSHIP ME AND THEN I WILL 22:02 TAKE CARE OF YOU. 22:04 YOU MUST WORSHIP ME. 22:07 YOU HAVE WORSHIPED ME FOR SO LONG WHY DON'T YOU 22:11 WORSHIP ME NOW? 22:12 IF YOU DON'T WORSHIP ME I WILL KILL THIS LADY. 22:17 ALL THIS WAS TOO MUCH. 22:19 HOW HARD WAS IT FOR YOU TO GET THE DEVILS TO GO AWAY? 22:26 TOO HARD. 22:27 IT WAS 27 DAYS AFTER THE CHILD WAS BORN. 22:31 BY THEN I WAS FEELING A LITTLE BETTER BUT THE 22:34 DEVIL CONTINUED TO BOTHER ME FOR THE NEXT 10 YEARS. 22:39 WHAT FINALLY MADE THE DIFFERENCE? 22:43 THE DEVIL JUST WOULDN'T LEAVE ME ALONE EVEN THOUGH 22:46 I WENT TO MANY SORCERERS AND WITCH DOCTORS BUT NONE 22:50 OF THAT HELPED. 22:52 IT WAS TOO MUCH FOR ME TO BEAR AND I HAD NO OTHER 22:55 WAY. 22:56 I LISTENED TO THE GOSPEL OUTREACH COBI TANNA AND 22:57 HER HUSBAND. 22:58 I THINK THE LORD SENT THEM INTO MY LIFE. 22:59 THROUGH THEM I LEARNED ABOUT JESUS. 23:00 BUT EVEN WITH THE PRAYERS THE DEVIL DIDN'T WANT TO 23:01 LET ME GO AND KEPT TROUBLING ME. 23:03 MY MOTHER DIDN'T BELIEVE IN PRAYERS SO SHE TOOK ME 23:04 TO ANOTHER WITCH DOCTOR. 23:05 THE WITCH DOCTOR TRIED TO BEAT THE DEVIL OUT OF ME 23:06 AND WAS YELLING BUT NONE OF THAT HELPED. 23:07 SO I RETURNED TO THE GOSPEL OUTREACH WORKERS. 23:09 THEY PRAYED OVER ME MORE AND THROUGH THEIR PRAYERS 23:10 I WAS MADE COMPLETELY WHOLE. 23:11 DID THE DEVILS QUIT BOTHERING YOU QUICKLY WHEN 23:12 YOU ACCEPTED JESUS OR DID IT TAKE TIME? 23:13 THE DEVIL DID NOT LEAVE IMMEDIATELY. 23:15 NOT EVEN DURING
