00:33 WELCOME TO "ADVENTURES IN MISSIONS" AT GOSPEL
00:35 OUTREACH, I'M JULIE SANDERS-KEYMER AND IT IS
00:38 SO IMPORTANT TO US HERE THAT EVERYBODY HERE IS
00:42 ABOUT JESUS INCLUDING THE KIDS AND WE ARE GOING TO
00:46 BE TALKING ABOUT THAT AND MORE HERE ON "ADVENTURES
00:50 IN MISSIONS" WITH SHIRLEY PANASUK AND BEV THOMPSON.
00:53 WELCOME TO BOTH OF YOU.
00:54 THANK YOU.
00:54 THANK YOU, IT IS GOOD TO BE HERE.
00:56 WE ALWAYS LIKE TO TELL ABOUT GOSPEL OUTREACH IN
00:58 INDIA.
00:59 WELL, AND IT IS SO GREAT TO HAVE YOU HERE AND I
01:00 KNOW YOU LOVE ALL AGES AND I KNOW YOU LOVE KIDS AND I
01:04 KNOW THAT YOU ARE JUST SO EXCITED EVERYTIME YOU COME
01:07 BACK AND SHARE WITH ME ALL ABOUT EVERYTHING BUT
01:09 INCLUDING THE KIDS.
01:10 YES.
01:11 SO, BEV YOU ARE REGIONAL DIRECTOR FOR THE NORTHEAST
01:15 AREA OF INDIA.
01:17 RIGHT, AND THIS IS FROM KOLKATTA TO BHUTAN AND
01:20 SOUTH OF NEPAL.
01:21 SO, YOU HAVE A VERY SPECIAL PART OF THE WORLD
01:24 AND YOU ENJOY GOING THERE AND SHIRLEY GOES WITH YOU
01:27 -THE DYNAMIC DUO HERE AS I CALL YOU TWO AND SO GIVE
01:31 US A REPORT OF THIS AREA.
01:32 WHAT'S BEEN GOING ON?
01:34 LOTS HAS BEEN GOING ON IN FACT, DURING THE COVID
01:37 CRISIS IN 2020 AH, WE WERE TOLD BY THE LEADERSHIP
01:41 THERE THAT THEY'VE HAD MORE BAPTISMS AND MORE
01:43 INTERESTS AND MORE FRIENDSHIP MAKING THAN
01:46 THEY HAVE EVER BEFORE.
01:48 AND GOD IS USING ALL SORTS OF WAYS, RIGHT?
01:50 THAT'S RIGHT.
01:51 TELEPHONE, PRAYER, VISITATION EVEN AT THE
01:54 WELLS, EVEN AT THE MARKETS, MEGAVOICE.
01:59 THEY ARE DOING EVERYTHING POSSIBLE TO MAKE SURE THAT
02:05 OTHERS KNOW ABOUT JESUS.
02:06 SO, YOU KNOW THERE ARE GOOD THINGS AND BAD THINGS
02:09 WITH BAD THINGS BUT WE ARE GOING TO CONCENTRATE ON
02:11 THE GOOD THINGS, YES, AND THIS IS ONE OF THEM, AMEN,
02:13 LOOK WHAT THE LORD HAS DONE.
02:16 AND YOU KNOW, GOSPEL OUTREACH HAS A POLICY THAT
02:19 WE SUPPORT GOSPEL OUTREACH WORKERS AND THEIR NEEDS.
02:25 WHEN I FIRST STARTED IN GOSPEL OUTREACH, AH THEIR
02:29 NEED WAS EXTENDED TO BUILDING CHURCHES AND
02:31 SCHOOLS BUT THEN AS TIME WENT ON, WE REALIZED THAT
02:35 MARANATHA WAS DOING SCHOOLS AS WELL AS
02:37 CHURCHES AND SO, WE SAID GOSPEL OUTREACH NEEDS TO
02:43 TAKE CARE OF THE GOSPEL OUTREACH WORKERS AND THEIR
02:46 NEEDS SUCH AS BIBLES, AUDIOBIBLES, ETC.,
02:50 LITERATURE.
02:51 LET THE CHURCH BUILDING AND THE SCHOOL BUILDING BE
02:54 DONE BY MARANATHA.
02:56 AND YET, WHEN I STARTED, WE HAD SCHOOLS AND WE HAD
03:02 CHURCHES THAT WE WERE BUILDING WITH SPONSORSHIP
03:05 AND THIS IS THE FIRST SCHOOL THAT WAS ON THE
03:08 ISLANDS OF THE SUNDARBAN WHICH IS JUST OFF OF
03:10 KOLKATTA AND THIS IS A THREE-STORY BUILDING.
03:15 THE MAIN FLOOR IS THE CHURCH, THE MIDDLE IS THE
03:17 CLASSROOM AND THE TOP IS TEACHER'S QUARTERS AND
03:22 THIS IS A DONATED PLACE AND SOMEBODY HAD DONATED
03:27 FOUR ACRES OF LAND TO PUT THIS ON AND FOUR ACRES ON
03:31 AN ISLAND WELL, IT WAS MARSHY AND HAD TO BE
03:35 FILLED IN SOME AND THEN WHEN WE BUILT THIS SCHOOL
03:41 AND CHURCH, THE GENERAL CONFERENCE OR I SHOULD SAY
03:45 THE SOUTHERN ASIA DIVISION PEOPLE SAID, HEY, WE HAVE
03:50 GOSPEL OUTREACH THERE AND THEY BROUGHT IN SO MANY
03:54 ADVENTIST PEOPLE AND THEIR CHILDREN THEY NEED TO BE
03:57 BROUGHT TO JESUS.
03:58 THEY NEED TO HAVE A SCHOOL.
03:59 GOOD.
04:00 AND SO, ABOUT 2010 MAYBE 2011, AH GOSPEL OUTREACH
04:09 NOT GOSPEL OUTREACH THE SUNDARBAN ISLAND SCHOOL
04:13 WAS BUILT BY 13TH SABBATH OFFERING OVERFLOW.
04:16 WONDERFUL.
04:17 AND THERE I THINK IT IS A FIVE STORY BUILDING AND
04:20 HOW MANY STUDENTS ABOUT?
04:21 AH, BEFORE COVID THIS IS THE GENERAL CONFERENCE
04:27 SABBATH SCHOOL OFFERING, THERE HAD BEEN 250
04:31 STUDENTS.
04:32 GOOD.
04:33 WITH COVID CRISIS IT HAS GONE BACK DOWN TO PROBABLY
04:38 BETWEEN 100-130 NOW.
04:40 BUT IT CONTINUED TO STAY OPEN.
04:42 YES.
04:43 WELL, THEY HAD TO BE CLOSED FOR A SHORT TIME
04:46 BUT CLOSURE MEANT THAT THE STUDENTS THAT CAME FROM
04:49 LONG DISTANCES HAD TO STAY IN THE DORMITORY TO BE
04:52 TAKEN CARE OF THERE.
04:53 OH OK.
04:54 AND SO, THEY HAD ABOUT 30 OF THOSE.
04:56 UH HUH, SO INSTEAD OF SENDING THE STUDENTS HOME
04:59 THEY-WELL, THEY WERE TOO FAR AWAY.
05:00 TOO FAR AWAY TO GO.
05:01 AND THE COVID POLITICIANS WHO CAME TO THE SCHOOL AND
05:08 COMPLAINED AND WANTED IT TO BE CLOSED AND SO ON AND
05:12 THE THIRD TIME THEY CAME THE PRINCIPAL SENT THEM
05:15 AWAY.
05:15 OH REALLY!
05:16 AND THEY WENT?
05:17 AND THEY STAYED.
05:18 OK.
05:19 AND WE HAD TO TAKE CARE OF THESE CHILDREN.
05:21 THEY CAN'T GO BACK TO THEIR HOMES.
05:22 THE TRAVEL IS NOT PERMITTED.
05:25 THEY HAVE TO STAY HERE AND HE TOLD THEM NOT TO COME
05:30 BACK AND THEY DIDN'T.
05:32 THE CHILDREN ARE THERE.
05:34 WELL, THERE YOU GO.
05:35 GOOD FOR THE PRINCIPAL.
05:37 THAT WAS FOR ABOUT FIVE OR SIX MONTHS-PROBABLY FIVE
05:41 MONTHS BUT THEN THEY ARE OPENING AGAIN AND ALREADY
05:44 THE ENROLLMENT IS OVER 100.
05:48 WELL, GOOD IT SOUNDS LIKE WITH A PRINCIPAL LIKE THIS
05:51 HE IS GOING TO MAKE SURE THAT EVERYBODY STAYS WELL.
05:54 RIGHT, RIGHT.
05:55 NOT ONLY THAT THE PRINCIPAL THERE HE IS DYED
06:00 IN THE WOOL, CONSECRATED MAN OF GOD.
06:02 YES.
06:03 HE BELIEVES IN MRS. WHITE AND I'M GETTING AHEAD OF
06:09 MY STORY.
06:10 LET'S JUST SEE A LITTLE BIT MORE ABOUT THE SCHOOL.
06:12 GOOD.
06:13 YOU CAN SEE THE CHURCH BUILDING-THE FIRST ONE ON
06:15 THE RIGHT-HAND SIDE AND THE LEFT SIDE IS THE ONE
06:18 THAT WAS BUILT BY THE 13TH SABBATH OVERFLOW.
06:21 NOW, WHEN OUR GOSPEL OUTREACH WORKERS MEET
06:25 THERE, THIS IS SUNRISE WORSHIP AND EXERCISE BY
06:30 OUR GOSPEL OUTREACH WORKERS AND THIS IS
06:32 SCHEDULED FOR ABOUT 6:30-7:00 O'CLOCK IN THE
06:33 MORNING.
06:34 WE CALL THAT O DARK EARLY.
06:35 NOT QUITE SO DARK IS IT?
06:36 WE GOT AWAKENED BY THIS GROUP BECAUSE AT 5:00
06:37 O'CLOCK THE RISING BELLS GOES ACROSS THE CAMPUS AND
06:38 THE STUDENTS ARE OUT THERE AT 6 O'CLOCK IN THE
06:40 MORNING, THEY ARE OUT HAVING WORSHIP.
06:57 STANDING UP.
06:57 STANDING UP.
06:58 SINGING SONGS, HAVING PRAYER, REPEATING SOME
07:03 SCRIPTURE.
07:03 IT WAS MARVELOUS.
07:05 I HEARD THE SOUND OF THE BELL AND OH, NO NOT 5
07:08 O'CLOCK.
07:09 BUT IT'S WONDERFUL TO HEAR THE CHILDREN SINGING AND
07:16 THEM HAVING THEIR WORSHIP OUTSIDE.
07:17 AND THEY ARE ALL WEARING GREEN UNIFORMS.
07:19 THAT IS THE UNIFORM THEY HAVE.
07:21 YES, I LIKE THAT.
07:21 OK.
07:22 THEY HAVE UNIFORMS.
07:23 BECAUSE OFTEN TIMES YOU SEE BLACK AND WHITE OR
07:25 WHITE AND NAVY BUT I LIKE THE GREEN.
07:27 SO, I WANTED TO SAY I RECENTLY RECEIVED A
07:33 LETTER, UH HUH, FROM THE PRINCIPAL OF THE SCHOOL
07:36 THAT ACTUALLY CAME FROM OUR GOSPEL OUTREACH
07:39 WORKERS.
07:40 OK.
07:40 AND WE HAVE TWO GOSPEL OUTREACH WORKERS
07:42 ASSOCIATED WITH THIS SCHOOL.
07:43 THEY ARE TELLING WHAT THEY HAVE DONE AS GOSPEL
07:48 OUTREACH WORKERS IN THIS SCHOOL NOW IN THIS LETTER.
07:51 GREETINGS IN THE NAME OF THE LORD JESUS CHRIST.
07:54 IT IS US, AUSISH CHETTRI, PRISCHILLA CHETTRI PRADHAM
08:02 FROM THE SDA MISSION SCHOOL IN SUNDARBAN
08:07 CURRENTLY SERVING AS GO TEACHERS.
08:11 OUR MINISTRY MAINLY DEALS WITH OUR STUDENTS IN THE
08:14 SCHOOL WHICH REACHES OUT TO FAMILIES.
08:17 WE BELIEVE THAT STUDENTS SHOULD RECEIVE TRUE
08:21 EDUCATION TO BECOME GOD-FEARING CITIZENS.
08:25 SOME PEOPLE SAY THAT SCHOOL IS NOT THE PLACE TO
08:28 DO MINISTRY BUT WE SAY THAT OUR SCHOOL STANDS FOR
08:32 TRUE EDUCATION AS A MINISTRY IN THIS PLACE.
08:37 WE ARE BOUND TO FOLLOW THE SECULAR EDUCATIONAL SYSTEM
08:40 RULES AND REGULATIONS BUT WE ALWAYS TRY TO MAKE IT
08:45 CRYSTAL CLEAR THE DIFFERENCES BETWEEN
08:48 SECULAR EDUCATION AND GOD'S EDUCATION THAT WE
08:51 TEACH.
08:52 OUR MINISTRY IS TWENTY-FOUR SEVEN.
08:56 WE FEEL THAT IT IS NOT EASY TO MOLD AND FASHION
08:59 YOUNG MINDS WHEN THEY ARE ALREADY TRAPPED BY THE
09:02 OUTER WORLD BUT OUR GOAL IS TO SHOW THAT A GENUINE
09:07 PERSON WILL WALK IN THE RIGHTEOUS PATH FOREVER.
09:11 WHENEVER A TOPIC IS CONTROVERSIAL TO BIBLE
09:15 TEACHINGS, WE LET THEM THINK ABOUT IT WITH
09:18 SINCERE HEART AND DISCUSS IT.
09:21 A NEW CLASS SPOKEN ENGLISH HAS THE UNDERLYING GOAL TO
09:26 SHARE THE GOSPEL.
09:28 DURING STAFF WORSHIP, WE READ EARLIER COUNSELS TO
09:31 PARENTS, TEACHERS AND STUDENTS WHICH DIVIDES
09:35 TRUE EDUCATION FROM SATAN'S SCHEMES.
09:38 WE TEACHERS, HELPERS AND FAMILY MEMBERS SERVE AS A
09:43 TEAM.
09:44 WE NEVER HESITATE TO SERVE AS NEEDED SWEEPING,
09:48 KITCHEN WORK, SABBATH SCHOOL.
09:51 WE ENJOY SERVING.
09:53 WE ARE HAPPY.
09:55 OUR STUDENTS NOW KNOW ABOUT HEALTHFUL LIVING,
09:58 SABBATH, FOOD HABITS, GOOD CHARACTERS AND
10:03 RELATIONSHIPS TO MAINTAIN A GOOD SOCIETY.
10:07 FOR OUR GUIDES, WE USE MESSAGES TO YOUNG PEOPLE
10:11 AND THE ADVENTIST HOME.
10:13 EVERY SABBATH AFTERNOON THERE IS CAMPUS MINISTRY.
10:18 WE GO ON VISITATION TO HOUSES IN THE NEARBY
10:21 VILLAGES.
10:23 ALSO, WE SPEND SEVERAL SABBATH HOURS WITH NEW
10:26 HINDU CONVERTED BELIEVERS.
10:28 NEARBY MEMBERS JOIN US THERE.
10:31 DURING HOLIDAYS, STUDENTS ARE ASSIGNED TO SHOW THEIR
10:34 PARENTS AND FRIENDS THAT THEY ARE UNIQUE AND
10:38 DIFFERENT FROM THEM BECAUSE OF THE TRUE
10:40 EDUCATION RECEIVED THROUGH THIS SCHOOL.
10:43 AFTER HOLIDAYS, MANY REPORT INTERESTING
10:46 POSITIVE STORIES ABOUT HOW THEY TALK ABOUT JESUS
10:50 CHRIST TO THEIR FRIENDS, HOW FRIENDS REACT AND HOW
10:54 STUDENTS TEACH THEIR PARENTS ABOUT GOD AND HOW
10:57 TO KEEP HAPPY IN THEIR HOME.
11:00 MANY GUARDIANS ARE GLAD TO KEEP THEIR CHILDREN IN OUR
11:03 SCHOOL BECAUSE THEY COME FROM HEAVY WORDLY
11:06 CONDITIONS.
11:08 THIS SCHOOL TRANSFORMS THEM INTO CHEERFUL,
11:12 HARMLESS, HUMBLE AND LOVING HELPERS.
11:16 WHEN PARENTS LEAVE THEIR CHILDREN IN THE SCHOOL,
11:19 THEY TELL US THEIR DISOBEDIENT CHILDREN HAVE
11:23 BECOME GOOD.
11:24 WE SHARE THE WORD OF GOD AND HEALTHFUL LIVING WITH
11:27 PARENTS ALSO.
11:28 NONBELIEVERS WELCOME US TO PRAY WITH THEM.
11:33 WOW.
11:34 ISN'T THAT BEAUTIFUL?
11:35 WOW, WHAT A REPORT AND VERY, VERY WELL WRITTEN.
11:41 YES.
11:41 WHAT THRILLS ME IS THE SABBATH AFTERNOON
11:43 ACTIVITIES.
11:44 YES.
11:45 NOT ONLY DO THEY SAY, I SAW WITH MY EYES.
11:48 WE WERE IN THE BLACK PLASTIC CHURCH IN TH
11:50 NEIGHBORING ISLAND ONE SABBATH AFTERNOON THEY'D
11:52 HAD A POTLUCK FOR US AND WE'D NO SOONER FINISHED
11:55 EATING AND IN LANDS ABOUT 30 KIDS THAT HAD COME ON
12:00 THE BUS FROM THE SCHOOL?
12:02 FROM THE SCHOOL.
12:03 THEY WERE COMING TO DO OUTREACH.
12:05 THEY WERE DIVIDING INTO GROUPS OF THREE AND FOUR
12:07 AND GOING AND KNOCKING ON DOORS AND INVITING PEOPLE
12:10 TO WORSHIP.
12:12 AND THEY DON'T COME IN UNTIL 8:30-9:00 O'CLOCK AT
12:15 NIGHT.
12:16 WE WERE WANTING THE CHILDREN TO SAY THEIR
12:18 MEMORY VERSES IN THE EVENING AND THEY WERE
12:21 STILL OUT AND ABOUT?
12:22 YES.
12:23 I LOVE IT.
12:24 AND YOU KNOW, THEIR BUS IS ONLY FOR 14, HAS 14 SEATS
12:28 BUT I THINK THAT 14 TIMES THREE IS HOW MANY GETS
12:32 INTO THE BUS.
12:33 SURE, THERE IS ALWAYS ROOM FOR ONE MORE.
12:35 ONE MORE.
12:36 WHEN THE LETTER SAID THAT, I THOUGHT ABOUT GROWING UP
12:40 IN MY FAMILY AND THAT'S WHEN WE VISITED THE PEOPLE
12:43 AS WELL AND SO THAT'S NORMAL AND A WONDERFUL
12:47 THING TO DO.
12:48 WHAT A LOVELY, LOVELY REPORT.
12:50 WELL, WE ARE THANKFUL THAT BOTH OF YOU ARE HERE AND
12:52 WE ARE THANKFUL THAT YOU ARE WATCHING "ADVENTURES
12:55 IN MISSIONS" HERE AT GOSPEL OUTREACH AND WE
12:57 WANT TO ENCOURAGE YOU TO GET INVOLVED AND WE WANT
13:00 TO SAY THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT.
13:02 THANK YOU FOR YOUR PRAYERS.
13:03 THANK YOU FOR GIVING OF WHAT YOU CAN GIVE AND WE
13:06 JUST WANT TO SAY THANK YOU.
13:10 GOSPEL OUTREACH IS SHARING JESUS WITH THOUSANDS OF
13:13 UNREACHED PEOPLE IN THE 10/40 WINDOW.
13:17 MORE THAN 25 YEARS AGO, FRANK STANYER AND EDGAR
13:20 PANGOLINAN SAW THE HUGE NUMBER OF PEOPLE IN THE
13:24 PHILIPPINES WHO STILL NEEDED TO HEAR ABOUT
13:27 JESUS.
13:28 THESE TWO LAYMEN FELT THE LORD CALLING THEM TO SHARE
13:31 THE GOSPEL IN THE PHILIPPINES.
13:33 TO GENERATE AND RAISE FUNDS THE TWO MEN STARTED
13:36 GOSPEL OUTREACH TO PROVIDE SUPPORT FOR LOCAL BIBLE
13:39 WORKERS THROUGH A VOLUNTEER ORGANIZATION.
13:42 SOON FRANK AND EDGAR REALIZED THAT BILLIONS OF
13:45 PEOPLE OUTSIDE OF THE PHILIPPINES ALSO NEEDED TO
13:48 HEAR THE NAME OF JESUS AND LEARN ABOUT HIS PLAN OF
13:51 SALVATION.
13:52 NINETY-SEVEN PER CENT OF THE UNREACHED PEOPLE IN
13:56 THE WORLD LIVE IN THE AREA FROM 10/40 DEGREES NORTH
14:00 OF THE EQUATOR, FROM WEST AFRICA, THE MIDDLE EAST,
14:04 INDIA, CHINA TO JAPAN WHICH IS KNOWN AS THE
14:08 10/40 WINDOW.
14:10 FRANK AND EDGAR EXPANDED THEIR SCOPE TO ALSO
14:13 SUPPORT BIBLE WORKERS IN THESE COUNTRIES BY WORKING
14:16 THROUGH THE CHURCH AND PARTNERING WITH MISSION
14:18 ORGANIZATIONS.
14:20 CURRENTLY, GOSPEL OUTREACH SUPPORTERS FUND MORE THAN
14:23 2000 BIBLE WORKERS IN MORE THAN 50 COUNTRIES.
14:27 GOD IS DOING MIRACLES IN THE 10/40 WINDOW.
14:31 AND HE IS DOING MIRACLES ALL AROUND THE WORLD AND
14:35 WE ARE JUST THANK FUL FOR WHAT HE IS DOING
14:37 SPECIFICALLY IN THE 10/40 WINDOW AS WE WORK TOGETHER
14:40 TO SHARE JESUS WITH THE PEOPLE WHO LIVE THERE AND
14:43 YOU KNOW WHAT?
14:44 IT'S GOING TO BE SO FUN WHEN WE GET TO HEAVEN FOR
14:47 SO MANY REASONS BUT IT IS GOING TO BE SO GREAT TO
14:49 LEARN ABOUT HOW ALL OF US WORKING TOGETHER, HOW WE
14:54 HAVE SHARED JESUS AND THE PEOPLE WE ARE GOING TO
14:56 MEET.
14:57 WON'T THAT BE EXCITING ALONG WITH JESUS AND IN
15:00 MATTHEW 28 IT SAYS, "THEREFORE GO, AND MAKE
15:04 DISCIPLES OF ALL NATIONS" AND THAT'S WHAT WE WANT TO
15:07 DO SO EVERYBODY CAN HEAR THE GOOD NEWS OF JESUS
15:09 CHRIST AND WHAT HE HAS DONE AND WOULD YOU PLEASE
15:11 PARTNER WITH US?
15:12 WE WANT TO THANK YOU FOR DOING THAT AND IF YOU
15:14 ALREADY HAVE AND IF YOU ARE CONSIDERING DOING
15:16 THAT, WE JUST WANT TO THANK YOU IN ADVANCE FOR
15:20 YOUR SUPPORT.
15:21 SO, WE ARE HERE WITH SHIRLEY AND BEV AND WE ARE
15:23 TALKING ABOUT, YAY, THE LITTLE KIDS IN INDIA AND
15:27 WE'VE LEARNED ABOUT THE SCHOOL AND YOU HAVE MORE
15:29 TO TELL US.
15:30 WE HAVE MORE PICTURES TO SHOW YOU.
15:32 YAY.
15:33 OF THE SCHOOL.
15:34 THESE YOUNG MEN ARE STUDYING OUTDOORS.
15:37 I LOVE THEIR UNIFORMS.
15:38 THESE ARE GOOD LOOKING UNIFORMS.
15:39 THEY ARE.
15:40 THEY ARE.
15:41 HERE THIS IS INSIDE THE CLASSROOM AND OF COURSE,
15:44 AND WHEN AN ADULT ENTERS THE CLASSROOM, EVERYONE
15:46 STANDS UP IN RESPECT FOR THE ADULT THAT COMES IN.
15:49 NOW, I DID SEE A COUPLE OF STUDENTS WHO WEREN'T IN
15:51 UNIFORMS, WERE THOSE VISITORS OR?
15:54 TELL ME ABOUT THOSE KIDS.
15:55 I DON'T KNOW.
15:56 OK.
15:57 AND WHEN THEY SPEAK -GIVE AN ANSWER TO THE TEACHER
16:01 SHE CALLS THEIR NAME, THEY STAND TO ANSWER.
16:04 YES.
16:05 THEY DO THAT IN MANY OTHER COUNTRIES AND THEY DON'T
16:07 REFER TO THE TEACHER BY THE NAME TEACHER.
16:12 YES.
16:12 OR MADAM, YES.
16:14 OR SIR.
16:15 WE ARE SHOWING YOU HERE THE KITCHEN.
16:16 THIS IS BAMBOO SLATS FOR THE WALLS AND A PLASTIC
16:18 OVER THE TOP.
16:18 ARE THEY PEELING POTATOES?
16:19 THEY ARE PEELING POTATOES ON A FLIP KNIFE.
16:20 THEY ARE HOLDING THAT IN PLACE BY THEIR FEET.
16:22 I HAVE NEVER SEEN THAT BEFORE.
16:23 NO, I HADN'T EITHER BUT IT IS WONDERFUL.
16:24 I SEE IT ALL OVER, YES, NOT JUST THE SCHOOL ALSO.
16:25 WOW.
16:26 AND I HAVE TO BE CAREFUL WHEN I USE A KNIFE BECAUSE
16:27 I'M KEEPING ALL THE FINGERS THAT I HAVE.
16:28 THAT WOULD PROBABLY NOT BE FOR ME BUT IT IS
16:31 INTERESTING IN OTHER PLACES OF ASIA HOW THEY
16:51 PEEL AWAY FROM THEMSELVES.
16:53 YES.
16:54 OK.
16:54 SO, WHAT IS THIS?
16:55 THIS IS A SOY MILK MACHINE.
16:56 THIS IS A MARVELOUS SITUATION.
16:58 AND THIS IS AT THE SCHOOL?
16:59 YES, THAT'S THE SCHOOL.
17:01 THIS IS A DONATED ITEM FOR THE SCHOOL AND WE ASKED-I
17:06 KNEW ABOUT THE DONATION AND SO I ASKED HOW DO YOU
17:10 DO?
17:11 THEY SAID, WELL WE SOAK THE SOYBEANS THE NIGHT
17:14 BEFORE WE ARE GOING TO MAKE IT.
17:15 I SAID, HOW MANY DAYS A WEEK DO YOU MAKE MILK?
17:17 OH, ABOUT 2-3 TIMES A WEEK.
17:21 I SAID, IS IT GOOD?
17:25 AND DO THE CHILDREN LIKE IT?
17:27 WELL, YES, THE CHILDREN LIKE IT AND THEY DRINK IT.
17:30 THERE ARE A FEW THAT ARE OLDER AND THEY HAD SWEET
17:33 MILK BEFORE BUT THIS IS SOY MILK.
17:35 THIS IS THE WHOLE PROCESS THAT IT GOES THROUGH.
17:37 IT TAKES THE BEANS WITH WATER AND IT GRINDS THEM
17:41 UP AND SENDS THE JUICE OUT AND THEN IT SIPHONS IT UP
17:45 INTO A BOILER AND THIS IS THE BOILER AND THAT IS THE
17:51 PULP AND I'VE TAUGHT THEMHOW TO USE THE PULP TO
17:54 MAKE PATTIES.
17:54 OH WOW.
17:55 AND THEN IF WE GET TOO MUCH MILK MADE THEN THEY
17:59 MAKE TOFU OUT OF IT.
18:01 PUT TOFU IN CURRY.
18:03 OH, PERFECT.
18:04 SO, USING ALL OF IT.
18:05 BUT BECAUSE THEY DON'T HAVE REFRIGERATION THEY
18:09 ONLY HAVE TO MAKE, CAN MAKE ENOUGH FOR THAT DAY
18:12 BECAUSE THEY HAVE NO WAY OF KEEPING IT OVERNIGHT.
18:16 WELL, AND YOU KNOW THERE IS A STORY IN THE BIBLE
18:18 ABOUT THAT CALLED MANNA.
18:20 YES.
18:21 AND GOD ALWAYS PROVIDED MORE THAN ENOUGH AND SEE,
18:25 HOW INTERESTING.
18:26 AH, I THOUGHT WHAT WAS INTERESTING ALSO WAS THAT
18:30 THE PRINCIPAL LOOKED AT THE SCORES AND THE GRADES
18:33 OF THE CHILDREN AND THREE MONTHS AFTER THEY STARTED
18:36 SERVING SOYMILK, THE GRADES OF THECHILDREN WENT
18:38 UP.
18:39 OH INTERESTING.
18:40 HUH.
18:41 INTERESTING.
18:42 WE DO KNOW THAT SOY IS VERY GOOD FOR YOU.
18:44 OK, WELL SEE.
18:47 NOW THIS IS IN THE CAFETERIA.
18:48 THEY HAVE TO BRING THEIR OWN UTENSILS AND THEY'RE
18:52 SERVING THE FOOD.
18:54 LOOK AT THE RICE AND LOOK AT HOW THEY SERVE IT WITH
18:56 ANOTHER DISH, YES, AND SOME OF THE KIDS LIKE TO
18:59 HAVE THEIR CURRY ON THE SIDE AND OTHERS ON -OH,
19:01 THAT LOOKS SO GOOD.
19:02 I'M GETTING HUNGRY.
19:04 OH, THAT CURRY IS A BIT WARM.
19:06 UH HUH.
19:07 YES, YOU HAVE LITTLE FLAMES COMING OUT YOUR
19:10 EARS RIGHT, SHIRLEY?
19:11 YES.
19:11 I'VE HAD THAT TOO.
19:13 CAN YOU SEE THE MOUND OF RICE THAT THEY EAT?
19:16 YES, THAT'S A LOT OF RICE.
19:19 YES.
19:19 THAT WOULD BE FOUR PORTIONS FOR ME.
19:21 OH, LOOK AT THE CUTE KIDS.
19:23 AREN'T THEY?
19:24 SO, ALL AGES.
19:26 I'M SEEING ALL AGES HERE.
19:28 YES, YES.
19:29 BECAUSE THEY HAVE FROM KINDERGARTEN UNTIL TENTH
19:31 GRADE.
19:32 SO, TALK WITH ME ABOUT TUITION.
19:34 SO, FOR THESE STUDENTS TO GO TO THIS PARTICULAR
19:37 SCHOOL, HOW DOES IT WORK, BEV?
19:38 OK.
19:39 THEY HAVE AN ADVENTIST RATE AND THEY ARE
19:43 CONSIDERED ADVENTISTS IF THEIR PARENTS ARE PAYING
19:46 TITHE.
19:47 SO, THEY HAVE TO BRING A RECEIPT FROM THEIR TITHE.
19:49 UH HUH.
19:51 AND, IT IS HALF THE PRICE OF WHAT A NONCHRISTIAN
19:55 WOULD BE PAYING.
19:56 BUT FOR MANY YEARS THIS SCHOOL HAD ONLY ADVENTIST
20:00 KIDS BECAUSE WE HAD SO MANY ADVENTISTS KIDS ON
20:03 THE ISLANDS AND SO THIS IS SERVING FOR THE ADVENTIST
20:07 CHILDREN.
20:08 BUT BECAUSE THEY SAW HOW GREAT THE KIDS WERE, THE
20:11 PARENTS OF OTHER FAITHS WANTED TO SEND THEIR
20:14 CHILDREN THERE AND SO, FINALLY THEY'VE AGREED TO
20:18 LETTING FIFTEEN PER CENT OF THE STUDENT BODY BE
20:21 NON-ADVENTISTS.
20:22 OK.
20:24 WELL, THAT'S A HUGE MISSION FIELD TO HAVE THE
20:26 KIDS COME FROM ALL DIFFERENT FAITHS AND THE
20:30 LITTLE KIDS, SO THE LITTLE KIDS WHO ACTUALLY ARE IN
20:32 THE DORM.
20:33 YES.
20:33 LIKE HOW -FIRST GRADE?
20:36 WELL, OH MY!
20:37 OLDER ONES HELP TO CARE FOR THE YOUNGER ONES.
20:40 WELL, ISN'T THAT SWEET?
20:41 ISN'T THAT SWEET.
20:42 IT'S A REAL SWEET ARRANGEMENT THAT THEY
20:45 HAVE.
20:46 WELL, AND THIS PRINCIPAL SOUNDS LIKE OH, HE'S A
20:48 GEM, PRAISE GOD FOR PRINCIPALS LIKE THIS.
20:52 YES.
20:52 DEDICATED TO GOD.
20:53 YOU HEARD IT IN THE LETTER.
20:54 ABSOLUTELY OF WHAT THE LORD IS DOING.
20:57 WELL, WE WANT TO SAY THANK YOU AND DO YOU HAVE SOME
20:59 MORE PICTURES FOR US?
20:59 LET'S SEE.
21:08 (SINGING).
21:13 THAT MUSIC WAS WHEN THE STUDENTS JOINED THE GOSPEL
21:16 OUTREACH WORKERS, WONDERFUL, ALTOGETHER IN
21:19 THE CHURCH.
21:20 SO, THESE ARE GOSPEL OUTREACH WORKERS AND THEIR
21:22 WIVES?
21:22 YES.
21:23 OK.
21:24 AND THIS IS WHAT THEY DO UH, THE SCHOOL DOES.
21:27 IT WILL HAVE SPECIAL PROGRAMS FOR THE CHURCH.
21:30 OH, OK.
21:30 SURE.
21:32 IT HAS THE CHILDREN PARTICIPATE IN THE PROGRAM
21:33 ALSO.
21:35 THE CHILDREN WOULD LEAD THE MUSIC FOR US AND YOU
21:40 COULD JUST SEE THAT THEY WERE BUBBLING OVER.
21:43 WE DIDN'T SHOW ANY PICTURES ABOUT THIS BUT,
21:45 UH, WE HAVE A DEAL WITH ALMOST EVERY SCHOOL THAT
21:49 WE GO TO, TO TEACH THE CHILDREN EXODUS 20:1-17
21:54 AND WE WILL HAVE A STUFFED TOY ANIMAL TO GIVE TO THEM
22:00 AND WE COLLECT THESE TOYS HERE AT HOME AND PUT THEM
22:04 IN A 50 LB SUITCASE OF TOYS -STUFFED ANIMALS, I
22:07 LOVE IT.
22:08 AND WE STUFF THEM ANYWHERE AND EVERYWHERE.
22:10 THESE DEAR STUDENTS AH, THEY SAY EXODUS 20:1-17
22:15 AND THEY -THE TEN COMMANDMENTS- YES, THEY
22:18 CAN RATTLE IT OFF SO FAST YOU CAN HARDLY UNDERSTAND
22:20 THEM IN ENGLISH.
22:22 YES, OH IN ENGLISH TOO?
22:22 YES.
22:23 IT IS NOT THEIR OWN LANGUAGE, RIGHT.
22:25 THIS SCHOOL IS ENGLISH BUT IN OTHER SCHOOLS IT CAN BE
22:28 EITHER ENGLISH OR WHATEVER IS THE LOCAL LANGUAGE AND
22:31 THEY GET A TOY.
22:32 AND IN THIS SCHOOL, WE HAVE A GREAT NUMBER OF
22:37 STUDENTS THAT ARE ENCOURGED TO SAY THE -IF
22:42 THEY HAVE SAID THE TEN COMMANDMENTS TO US BEFORE,
22:45 THEN THEY'LL LEARN THE 91ST PSALM.
22:48 OH WOW!
22:49 OK, SO THEN YOU'RE ENCOURAGING THEM TO LEARN
22:51 MORE SCRIPTURE WHICH WE SHOULD ALL BE DOING.
22:53 YES.
22:54 IF THEY DO IT A THIRD TIME, THEY HAVE TO DO
22:57 PSALMS 1 OR PSALMS 23.
22:59 RIGHT.
23:00 WOW, WOW.
23:01 SO, IT IS ALWAYS AN INCENTIVE TO LEARN MORE.
23:04 WELL, AND YOU KNOW, WE'VE TALKED ABOUT THAT HERE
23:05 BEFORE BUT HOW IMPORTANT IT IS WHEN WE LEARN THESE
23:09 VERSES AND FOR ME PERSONALLY, IT's REALLY
23:12 BEEN HELPFUL ESPECIALLY IN THIS LAST YEAR OF LOOSING
23:15 PEOPLE.
23:16 I LOST 12 PEOPLE IN THE LAST YEAR INCLUDING MY MOM
23:19 AND IT'S BEEN REALLY HELPFUL THOSE-YOU KNOW WE
23:23 THINK OF LIKE PSALM 23 SOMETHING THAT AS
23:26 CHRISTIANS AND BELIEVERS WE HAVE GROWN UP HEARING
23:29 BUT WHEN YOU REALLY STOP AND THINK ABOUT THESE
23:32 SCRIPTURES AND WHEN YOU HAVE THEM, YOU KNOW, BACK
23:36 IN HERE AND WHEN YOU NEED TO HAVE SOMETHING IT IS
23:39 VERY, VERY COMFORTING TO HAVE THOSE PROMISES FROM
23:41 THE LORD.
23:42 RIGHT.
23:43 IT IS VERY IMPORTANT THAT THEY LEARN THEM WHEN
23:44 THEY'RE YOUNG, WHEN THEIR MINDS AREN'T STUFFED WITH
23:47 EVERYTHING ELSE, YES.
23:48 AND SO THAT'S I-IT'S WONDERFUL THAT YOU'RE
23:51 ENCOURAGING THE STUDENTS AND I'M VERY GRATEFUL IN
23:53 MY EDUCATION THAT I DID LEARN THE MEMORY VERSES AS
23:57 WE CALLED THEM BECAUSE IT IS TRUE -THE TIME.
24:00 SO, I'M HOPING YOU ARE ALSO ENCOURAGING THE
24:02 STUDENTS THAT YES, THIS ISN'T JUST SOMETHING TO DO
24:05 FOR JUST A TOY BUT THIS WILL EQUIP THEM IN THEIR
24:08 WALK WITH THE LORD.
24:09 FOREVER.
24:10 FOREVER, ABSOLUTELY.
24:11 YES.
24:12 ABSOLUTELY.
24:12 (VIDEO PLAYING).
24:41 AND I'M HOLDING ONE OF THE MEGAVOICE PLAYERS RIGHT
24:43 HERE.
24:44 THEY ARE FANTASTIC.
24:45 THEY CAN BE CHARGED IN AN OUTLET.
24:47 ALSO, SOLAR POWERED AND CHARGED BY THE SUN AND
24:51 THEY CAN HAVE ALL SORTS OF BIBLE STORIES AND SONGS
24:54 AND BIBLE IN LIVING SOUND IS PUT ON HERE, BIBLE
24:58 STORIES AND SO FANTASTIC.
25:00 ON SOME OF THEM WE HAVE EVEN HAD GREAT CONTROVERSY
25:03 PUT ON IT.
25:04 IT'S WONDERFUL AND AS YOU SAW THE MAN YOU KNOW, JUST
25:06 HAD IT SIT AROUND WITH ALL THE PEOPLE AND THE
25:08 SPEAKER.
25:09 YOU KEEP TALKING ABOUT THE SPEAKER, BEV.
25:10 YES, BECAUSE I SAW IT SO REAL TO ME IN A COUPLE OF
25:14 PLACES WHERE THEY HAD HOOKED IT UP TO A WIRE
25:17 THAT CONNECTED IT TO THE LOUDSPEAKER ON TOP OF
25:19 THEIR CHURCH THAT WAS POINTING AT THE VILLAGE
25:22 AND AT 6 A.M.
25:24 THEY HAVE MORNING WORSHIP ON THE LOUD SPEAKER WITH
25:27 THE BIBLE BEING PLAYED TO THE COMMUNITY.
25:30 AND NOBODY OBJECTED?
25:31 NO, THE TOWNSPEOPLE WON'T DO IT.
25:33 THEY WANT MUSIC OR SOMETHING CULTURAL THEY
25:37 DO.
25:38 IF IT'S MUSIC, THEY REALLY BECOME VERY INTERESTED IN
25:41 IT.
25:42 WELL, YES EVERYBODY IS CURIOUS.
25:44 YES, VERY CURIOUS.
25:45 BUT ANYTHING ELECTRONIC IS A CURIOSITY.
25:47 ABSOLUTELY.
25:48 AND THAT BRINGS A LOT OF PEOPLE WANTING TO KNOW
25:51 MORE.
25:52 WELL, THANK YOU TO BOTH OF YOU AND THE NEEDS I'M SURE
25:55 WE ALL KNOW JUST THINKING OF A SCHOOL, A PRIVATE
25:58 CHRISTIAN SCHOOL, OF ALL THEIR NEEDS THERE.
26:00 THEIR NEEDS WITH GOSPEL OUTREACH WORKERS, AND
26:03 RIGHT?
26:04 RIGHT, AND WE TRY TO HAVE OUR GOSPEL OUTREACH
26:06 WORKERS TEACH THE MORALS CLASS.
26:08 YOU SEE IN INDIA; YOU CANNOT TEACH BIBLE SO THEY
26:12 CALL IT MORALS AND THEN THEY CAN TEACH MORALS FROM
26:16 THE BIBLE STORIES.
26:17 RIGHT.
26:18 AND SO, OUR GOSPEL OUTREACH WORKERS USUALLY
26:20 TEACH MORALS AND THEY MAY TEACH ENGLISH OR ANOTHER
26:25 CLASS DEPENDING ON HOW MUCH TIME THEY HAVE
26:27 BECAUSE THEY ALSO ARE REQUIRED TO GO TO THE
26:30 HOMES OF PARENTS OF THE STUDENTS.
26:33 TO VISIT THEM.
26:34 THE THING IS IF THE CHILDREN ACCEPT JESUS WHEN
26:37 THEY ARE 12 YEARS OLD AND THEY GO BACK HOME THE
26:41 PARENTS WON'T HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH THEM
26:43 BECAUSE THEY ACCEPTED THE CHRISTIAN FAITH.
26:45 SO, WE TRY TO TEACH THE PARENTS THE SAME THING
26:50 THAT WE TEACH THE STUDENTS.
26:52 WELL, AND AGAIN IT IS COMMUNICATION AND THEN THE
26:56 HOLY SPIRIT IS GOING TO DO WHAT HE IS GOING TO DO.
26:58 WELL, BEV AND SHIRLEY THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR
27:00 BEING HERE AND SHARING WITH US ABOUT THE
27:02 STUDENTS.
27:02 THANK YOU.
27:03 IT WAS SUCH A JOY.
27:04 IT IS SO MUCH FUN.
27:06 WELL, THANK YOU.
27:07 AND WE WANT TO SAY THANK YOU FOR WATCHING.
27:09 THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT AND THANK YOU FOR SHARING
27:12 ABOUT GOSPEL OUTREACH WITH A FRIEND SO IF YOU ARE
27:14 TALKING ABOUT A WONDERFUL NONPROFIT ORGANIZATION WHO
27:17 IS SHARING JESUS IN THE 10/40 WINDOW, PLEASE DO
27:20 TELL THEM ABOUT GOSPEL OUTREACH AND YOU CAN FIND
27:23 US ON FACEBOOK AND INSTAGRAM AND ON OUR
27:24 WEBSITE GOAIM.ORG.
27:27 ON BEHALF OF "ADVENTURES IN MISSIONS" AND GOSPEL
27:29 OUTREACH, I'MJULIE SANDERS-KEYMER AND MAY THE
28:16 LORD BLESS YOU TODAY.
