00:35 WELCOME TO "ADVENTURES IN MISSIONS" HERE AT GOSPEL 00:37 OUTREACH. 00:38 AND I WANT TO SAY SOME NUMBERS TO YOU. 00:39 TWENTY, TWENTY. 00:40 AND WHAT COMES TO YOUR MIND? 00:42 I DON'T EVEN HAVE TO TELL YOU BECAUSE YOU AND I BOTH 00:44 ALREADY KNOW WHAT IT IS. 00:45 AND WE'VE ALL HAD TO BE CREATIVE IN HOW WE 00:48 COMMUNICATE WITH EACH OTHER. 00:49 AND THAT'S WHAT WE'RE DOING HERE ON OUR ZOOM SET 00:52 HERE AT "ADVENTURES IN MISSIONS" AT GOSPEL 00:54 OUTREACH AND WE'RE COMING TO YOU USING TECHNOLOGY 00:57 AND WHAT A BLESSING IT HAS BEEN. 01:00 AND SINCE WE HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE TO HAVE OUR REGIONAL 01:02 DIRECTORS HERE IN THE OFFICES AND TO INTERVIEW 01:06 THEM FOR OUR PROGRAM, WE'RE WANTING TO BRING ALL 01:09 OF THAT GREAT INFORMATION TO YOU VIA ZOOM. 01:12 AND THAT'S ANOTHER NAME THAT WE HAVE ALL GOTTEN 01:15 VERY FAMILIAR WITH HERE RECENTLY. 01:17 SO WELCOME AND I WANT TO INTRODUCE YOU TO CHARLES 01:20 SHULTZ AND CHARLES IS ONE OF THE REGIONAL DIRECTORS. 01:23 HE HANDLES THE COUNTRY OF NEPAL. 01:25 HI CHARLES, WELCOME. 01:27 HI. 01:28 IT'S SO NICE TO HAVE YOU WITH US CHARLES. 01:30 AND YOU ENJOY GOING TO NEPAL BECAUSE YOU ACTUALLY 01:33 SERVED IN NEPAL FOR HOW MANY YEARS? 01:35 EIGHT YEARS. 01:37 EIGHT YEARS. 01:39 YES. 01:40 AND NOW YOU HAVE JOINED HERE WITH US AT GOSPEL 01:42 OUTREACH AND YOU'VE BEEN PART OF THE GOSPEL 01:43 OUTREACH TEAM FOR HOW MANY YEARS? 01:45 OH AT LEAST FIVE. 01:48 AT LEAST FIVE. 01:49 WELL GOOD. 01:50 WELL CHARLES YOU OFTEN GO TO NEPAL AND YOU CHECK IN 01:53 WITH OUR GOSPEL OUTREACH WORKERS THERE. 01:54 AND UNFORTUNATELY DUE TO THE COVID SITUATION YOU 01:58 HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE TO DO THAT BUT YOU'RE GOING TO 02:00 BE GIVING A REPORT HERE ON WHAT THE LORD HAS BEEN 02:03 DOING DESPITE ALL OF THIS. 02:05 THAT'S RIGHT, THAT'S RIGHT. 02:06 SO GIVE OUR VIEWERS AN IDEA OF HOW MANY WORKERS 02:09 THAT YOU DO HAVE IN NEPAL. 02:11 WE HAVE 55 GOSPEL OUTREACH WORKERS. 02:14 AND YOU KNOW THE NEPALI PEOPLE ARE HARD WORKING 02:17 PEOPLE AND COVID COULD BE AN EXCUSE JUST TO DO 02:23 NOTHING. 02:24 BUT NEPALI PEOPLE DON'T DO NOTHING. 02:28 THEY LIKE TO BE WORKING. 02:29 THEY LIKE TO BE DOING SOMETHING. 02:30 AND ESPECIALLY WHEN IT COMES TO SHARING THE LORD 02:34 WITH THE GOSPEL OUTREACH WORKERS. 02:35 THIS IS A TIME FOR ALL OF US NO MATTER WHERE WE HAVE 02:39 BEEN AND WHERE WE ARE THAT WE NEED TO BE SHARING THE 02:41 HOPE AND THE JOY OF JESUS RIGHT. 02:43 THAT'S RIGHT. 02:44 THAT'S RIGHT. 02:45 SO NEPAL. 02:46 FOR SOMEONE WHO MIGHT BE TURNING ONTO "ADVENTURES 02:48 IN MISSIONS" FOR THE FIRST TIME AND YES THEY'VE HEARD 02:51 OF NEPAL, THEY'VE HEARD OF MT. 02:52 EVEREST, THE HIMALAYAS HOWEVER YOU DECIDE TO SAY 02:56 THAT NAME. 02:57 BUT GIVE US AN IDEA OF THE BELIEVERS, THE COUNTRY, 03:00 THE RELIGIONS THAT PEOPLE BELIEVE IN IN NEPAL. 03:03 WELL NEPAL IS BASICALLY HINDUISM BUT THERE IS ALSO 03:07 A SEGMENT OF BUDDHISM. 03:08 IT'S ABOUT THE SIZE OF OREGON. 03:11 WE HAVE FIVE THOUSAND, SIX THOUSAND MEMBERS SCATTERED 03:15 THROUGHOUT THE HILLS AND DALES OF NEPAL. 03:18 THERE'S A LOT OF HILLS. 03:19 LOT OF HILLS. 03:20 RIGHT. 03:21 AND THEN THERE ARE SEGMENTS THAT ARE CLOSE TO 03:26 THE INDIAN BORDER AND THEN THAT'S FLAT AND HOT AND 03:39 STEAMY. 03:40 AND HUMID AT THIS TIME OF YEAR. 03:41 OH YES, OH YES. 03:43 SO WE'VE TALKED A LITTLE BIT ABOUT TECHNOLOGY, 03:45 ABOUT WHAT WE'RE DOING HERE TO BRIDGE THE GAP 03:48 HERE AT GOSPEL OUTREACH. 03:49 AND YOU'RE ACTUALLY IN YOUR HOME AND WHICH STATE 03:52 ARE YOU IN CHARLES? 03:54 STATE OF TENNESSEE. 03:55 YUP, AND WE'RE HERE IN WASHINGTON STATE AND HERE 03:58 AT DIFFERENT TIME ZONES, DIFFERENT STATES AND HERE 04:00 WE'RE TALKING ABOUT A COUNTRY ON THE OTHER SIDE 04:02 OF THE WORLD. 04:03 AND SHARE WITH US HOW THE GOSPEL OUTREACH WORKERS IN 04:06 NEPAL, HOW THEY HAVE BEEN USING TECHNOLOGY. 04:10 WELL IT STARTED OFF WITH COVID REALLY NOT MAKING AN 04:16 IMPACT IN THE VILLAGES. 04:18 COVID IN NEPAL IS A CITY SITUATION WHERE PEOPLE ARE 04:24 PRESSED TOGETHER. 04:25 AND YOU KNOW OUR GOSPEL OUTREACH WORKERS THEY 04:30 WEREN'T WEARING MASKS THERE IN THE VILLAGES, 04:34 STUDYING THE BIBLE AND PRAYING WITH PEOPLE AND 04:37 DOING THE USUAL THING WHEN COVID STARTED. 04:39 AND NOW THEY ARE CONTINUING TO VISIT WITH 04:46 PEOPLE BUT THEY ARE USING ZOOM TO DO THAT CORRECT? 04:50 ZOOM IS USED FOR CONNECTING WITH OUR GOSPEL 04:59 OUTREACH WORKERS. 05:00 THAT'S OUR WAY OF DEALING WITH OUR WORKERS AND 05:04 MAKING THEM FEEL CONNECTED. 05:06 YES, GOOD. 05:07 WELL, YOU'VE GOT SOME PICTURES TO SHARE WITH US 05:09 AND I'M EXCITED BECAUSE I ALWAYS LIKE TO SEE 05:11 PICTURES. 05:12 OKAY. 05:13 ALRIGHT. 05:14 SO HERE WE HAVE A PICTURE AND IT LOOKS LIKE SOMEONE 05:17 IS PRAYING. 05:17 IS IT A BAPTISM? 05:18 NO IT'S A BIBLE STUDY. 05:19 THIS IS THE END OF A BIBLE STUDY AND YOU CAN NOTICE 05:20 THAT THEY ARE OUTSIDE AND THEY ARE VERY HUMBLE HARD 05:23 WORKING PEOPLE, AND PEOPLE ORIENTED. 05:25 YOU KNOW NEPALI PEOPLE, IT'S LIKE A FAMILY AND OUR 05:29 GOSPEL OUTREACH WORKERS ARE IN THAT AREA AND THEY 05:33 KNOW THE PEOPLE AND PEOPLE COME TO THEM FOR ALL KINDS 05:37 OF PROBLEMS. 05:38 IT'S A NICE RELATIONSHIP THAT OUR GOSPEL OUTREACH 05:42 WORKERS HAVE WITH THE COMMUNITY. 05:44 YES. 05:45 AND THE NEXT PICTURE YOU HAVE IT LOOKS LIKE A 05:52 BAPTISM. 05:54 PRAISE THE LORD. 05:58 THIS MAN HAS DECIDED TO ACCEPT JESUS. 06:03 YES AND I DON'T KNOW IF YOU CAN SEE THE LITTLE 06:07 KIDS. 06:08 THERE ARE THREE LITTLE KIDS AND THEY ARE VERY 06:10 EXCITED ABOUT THIS BAPTISM. 06:14 AND ONE OF THE THINGS WE DID DURING COVID WAS WE 06:19 CONSTRUCTED A COUPLE OF BAPTISMAL TANKS BECAUSE 06:25 GENERALLY WE'VE GOT TO GO LOOK FOR A RIVER AND THEN 06:28 THERE ARE SOME SECURITY ISSUES YOU KNOW. 06:29 SOME OF THEM COULD BE TAKING PICTURES AND 06:31 REPORTING US BECAUSE IT'S AGAINST THE LAW TO BAPTIZE 06:35 A HINDU. 06:36 AND IT'S AGAINST THE LAW FOR THEM TO CHANGE THEIR 06:40 RELIGION. 06:41 AND SO HERE A BAPTISTERY HAS BEEN MADE. 06:44 THIS IS BY ONE OF OUR CHURCHES. 06:46 AND THESE LITTLE BOYS, HOPEFULLY, WILL BE 06:49 BAPTIZED WHEN THEY REACH 12. 06:52 WOW. 06:52 SO THIS IS A COMMITMENT. 06:54 I MEAN YOU THINK ABOUT THAT. 06:56 HERE WE ARE IN AMERICA WHERE THANKFULLY WE CAN 06:58 CHOOSE OUR BELIEFS IN SO MANY DIFFERENT AREAS BUT 07:03 IT IS ACTUALLY AGAINST THE LAW IN THIS COUNTRY TO 07:07 CHANGE RELIGION. 07:08 THAT'S RIGHT. 07:09 WOW. 07:10 LET'S LET THAT SINK IN A LITTLE BIT. 07:11 AND HERE THESE PEOPLE ARE MAKING A COMMITMENT TO THE 07:13 LIVING GOD AND THEY ARE TECHNICALLY GOING AGAINST 07:16 THE LAWS OF THEIR OWN COUNTRY. 07:18 YES. 07:19 SO WE HAVE, OKAY SO HERE'S ANOTHER PICTURE AND IT 07:22 LOOKS LIKE WE'VE GOT SOME PEOPLE STANDING UP ON A 07:24 ROOF, SITTING UP ON TOP OF A ROOF? 07:25 YES. 07:26 THIS IS NOW YOU CAN SEE A FEW PEOPLE WEARING MASKS 07:33 AND I THINK THEY ARE CORRECT IN UNDERSTANDING 07:38 THAT COVID IS NOT AS VIRULENT OUTSIDE AND SO 07:42 WE'RE HAVING OUTSIDE CHURCH. 07:45 AND YOU CAN SEE THE MOUNTAINS OR THE FOOTHILLS 07:48 IN THE BACKGROUND. 07:49 AND THERE IS NO GUARD RAIL AROUND THE ROOF BUT NO 07:57 CHILDREN WERE INJURED IN THIS CHURCH SERVICE I'M 08:00 HAPPY TO REPORT. 08:01 GOOD, GOOD. 08:02 AND NOBODY FELL OUT A WINDOW LIKE IN THE BIBLE. 08:04 (LAUGHTER) NO, NO. 08:06 NOTHING LIKE THAT. 08:07 AND HERE IT LOOKS LIKE ALL THE WOMEN ARE GATHERED 08:09 AROUND IN THEIR BEAUTIFUL RED DRESSES OR SARIS OR 08:12 WHATEVER THEY'RE WEARING. 08:14 NOW THIS IS JAPANG. 08:16 THIS IS QUITE A WAYS OUT. 08:20 A REMOTE CHURCH AND GOSPEL OUTREACH WORKERS ARE 08:25 THERE. 08:26 AND THE BIG CHALLENGE IS WE DID NOT HAVE A YOUTH 08:33 CONGRESS THIS YEAR AND SO HOW ARE YOU GOING TO 08:38 CONNECT OUR CHURCH MEMBERS ESPECIALLY THE YOUTH. 08:42 HOW ARE THEY GOING TO FEEL LIKE THEY ARE PART OF A 08:45 FAMILY. 08:46 ESPECIALLY THIS VERY REMOTE CHURCH. 08:48 AND SO IT'S IMPORTANT FOR GOSPEL OUTREACH WORKERS TO 08:51 GO THERE AND ENCOURAGE THEM, SEE HOW THEY ARE 08:53 DOING AND FIND OUT WHETHER THEY NEED FOOD. 08:57 YES. 09:00 THAT IS A BIG ISSUE. 09:01 WELL A BIG ISSUE BECAUSE FOR SO MANY, WELL FOR ALL 09:06 OF US. 09:07 I MEAN THIS HAS REALLY CRAMPED OUR STYLE AND WHAT 09:09 WE USED TO DOING AND WE'RE HAVING TO DO SOME THINGS 09:13 DIFFERENTLY AND I JUST THINK ABOUT A LOT OF THESE 09:16 REMOTE PLACES WHERE THIS HAS REALLY BEEN HARD FOR A 09:18 LOT OF PEOPLE. 09:20 THAT'S RIGHT. 09:20 THAT'S RIGHT. 09:22 SO THESE TWO MEN ARE GATHERED AROUND. 09:24 I SEE THE ADVENTIST WORLD RADIO LOGO ON THE 09:27 MICROPHONE AND I SEE AN APPLE COMPUTER. 09:29 SO WHAT'S GOING ON WITH THESE GENTLEMEN CHARLES? 09:33 OUR WORKERS ARE LEARNING HOW TO USE TECHNOLOGY AND 09:37 LEARNING HOW TO USE ZOOM BECAUSE WE LEARNED EARLY 09:42 ON THAT WITH ZOOM YOU COULD CONNECT TO ONE 09:47 HUNDRED DIFFERENT GROUPS. 09:50 AND YOU KNOW THIS IS SURPRISING TO ME. 09:52 WHERE DO ALL THESE PEOPLE GET ALL THESE COMPUTERS? 09:54 HOW DO THEY GET THIS KNOW HOW? 09:56 HOW DO THEY GET THE INTERNET? 09:58 I WOULD NEVER HAD THOUGHT THAT ZOOM WOULD WORK IN 10:02 NEPAL BECAUSE IT'S JUST KIND OF REMOTE. 10:07 WELL THE INTERNET CONNECTION PROBABLY ISN'T 10:09 ALWAYS STABLE. 10:11 THAT'S CORRECT, THAT'S CORRECT. 10:12 BUT YOU KNOW IT JUST SEEMED LIKE THERE WAS 10:16 SOMETHING, WE NEEDED TO DO SOMETHING TO TIE PEOPLE 10:19 TOGETHER TO BRING PEOPLE TOGETHER. 10:22 AND ESPECIALLY WITH THE FEAR. 10:25 NOW MY NEXT PICTURE, AND I LOVE THIS. 10:30 THIS IS ENTITLED RESTING ON THE LORD. 10:34 LITERALLY, LITERALLY, LITERALLY. 10:36 LIFE IS PEACEFUL WHEN YOU REST ON THE PROMISES OF 10:40 GOD'S WORD. 10:41 YES. 10:42 AND YET THESE PEOPLE, NEPALI PEOPLE, THE YOUNGER 10:47 ONES MAY BE ABLE TO READ NEPALI BUT THE OLDER ONES 10:50 PROBABLY HAVE NEVER GONE TO SCHOOL. 10:51 THEY DON'T KNOW HOW TO READ. 10:52 AND SO WHERE ARE THEY GOING TO GET THE 10:55 ENCOURAGEMENT FROM GOD'S WORD DURING THIS TIME OF 10:58 CRISIS BECAUSE THIS IS A TIME OF FEAR FOR EVERYONE. 11:01 YES, YES. 11:03 IT'S A SERIOUS THING. 11:04 I MEAN IT'S NOT POLITICAL IN NEPAL. 11:07 I MEAN FORTUNATELY WE DIDN'T LOSE ANY GOSPEL 11:11 OUTREACH WORKERS. 11:12 GOOD. 11:13 BUT THERE WERE ADVENTISTS AND WORKERS THAT GOT SICK. 11:18 WE DON'T WANT ANYBODY SICK AND I THINK THAT YOU HIT 11:22 ON SOMETHING THAT IS SO TRUE IS THIS HAS CAUSED US 11:28 TO STOP AND YOU KNOW WE'VE HEARD ALL SORTS OF THINGS 11:32 AND THAT'S WHERE THE FEAR COMES IN AS HUMANS. 11:35 AND THE BIBLE SAYS FEAR NOT HOW MANY TIMES. 11:39 AND AS CHRISTIANS WORKING WITH THE GOSPEL OUTREACH 11:42 WORKERS THIS IS A TIME FOR US TO BE ABLE TO SHARE 11:45 WITH THE PEOPLE ABOUT THE HOPE AND THE COMING OF THE 11:48 LORD JESUS CHRIST. 11:50 SO I WANT TO THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR PARTNERING WITH 11:53 US AT GOSPEL OUTREACH. 11:54 AND MAYBE YOU HAVE HAD A FAMILY MEMBER WHO HAS HAD 11:58 COVID. 11:59 MAYBE YOU HAVE HAD IT. 12:00 AND WE WANT TO ENCOURAGE YOU THAT GOD IS WITH US. 12:03 HE SAYS SO IN HIS WORDS THAT HE IS ALWAYS WITH US. 12:07 AND WE WANT TO ENCOURAGE YOU TO GET YOUR BIBLE OUT 12:10 AND READ. 12:11 AND IF YOU'RE HAVING A PROBLEM PLEASE DO REACH 12:13 OUT AND OFFER A PRAYER UP TO THE LORD AND ASK 12:16 SOMEONE FOR HELP. 12:17 WE WANT TO BE ENCOURAGING TO YOU AS ALSO WE'RE 12:19 ENCOURAGING PEOPLE AROUND THE WORLD AS WE ARE 12:23 SHARING JESUS IN THE 10/40 WINDOW. 12:25 AND WE WANT TO THANK YOU FOR YOUR PRAYERS AND YOUR 12:27 SUPPORT. 12:28 AND WE ASK YOU TO LEARN MORE ABOUT GOSPEL OUTREACH 12:30 AND WE HAVE SOME MORE INFORMATION TO SHARE WITH 12:32 YOU. 12:33 EARTH. 12:34 VAST, BEAUTIFUL, BUT TAKE A CLOSER LOOK AND YOU CAN 12:42 SEE THE PAIN OF A WORLD ON A COLLISION COURSE WITH 12:46 IT'S OWN GREED. 12:48 HUMANITY. 12:49 WE NEED LOVE. 12:51 WE NEED HOPE. 12:54 WE NEED A SAVIOR. 12:57 MORE THAN ONE THIRD OF THE WORLD'S SEVEN BILLION 13:00 PEOPLE STILL NEED TO HEAR ABOUT GOD'S LOVE AND HIS 13:04 PLAN TO SAVE US. 13:05 ONE THIRD. 13:07 IN SUCH A BIG WORLD IT'S EASY TO FEEL SMALL, BUT 13:13 YOU CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE. 13:15 PARTNER WITH GOSPEL OUTREACH TO FUND BIBLE 13:18 WORKERS WHO ARE MISSIONARIES IN THEIR OWN 13:20 VILLAGES, TOWNS AND CITIES. 13:23 THEY SHARE THE LIFE CHANGING LOVE AND STORY OF 13:30 JESUS CHRIST. 13:32 THANK YOU FOR GIVING. 13:35 TOGETHER WE CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE SO THAT ALL THE 13:42 WORLD MAY KNOW JESUS. 13:45 AND THANK YOU AGAIN FOR BEING A PART OF THE GOSPEL 13:48 OUTREACH FAMILY BECAUSE AS BELIEVERS IN JESUS WE ALL 13:51 ARE BROTHERS AND SISTERS IN THE LORD. 13:53 AND I WANT TO ENCOURAGE YOU IF YOU HAVEN'T SIGNED 13:56 UP FOR OUR "ADVENTURES IN MISSIONS" NEWSLETTER WE 13:59 WOULD LOVE TO SEND THIS TO YOU. 14:01 IT HAS GREAT STORIES FROM THE REGIONAL DIRECTORS 14:03 FROM THE GOSPEL OUTREACH WORKERS IN THE 10/40 14:05 WINDOW. 14:06 THERE IS ALSO INFORMATION ABOUT WHERE YOU CAN WATCH 14:08 "ADVENTURES IN MISSIONS". 14:10 YOU CAN GO TO OUR WEBSITE GOAIM.ORG TO WATCH ONLINE. 14:13 ALSO ON YOUTUBE AND WE THANK YOU FOR PARTNERING 14:16 WITH US. 14:17 AND I WOULD ASK YOU TO SHARE WITH A FRIEND. 14:21 TELL THEM ABOUT GOSPEL OUTREACH AND HOW WE 14:24 TOGETHER ARE SHARING JESUS AND THE HOPE OF JESUS WITH 14:27 PEOPLE IN THE 10/40 WINDOW. 14:29 TODAY WE HAVE TRAVELED VIA ZOOM THROUGH TENNESSEE. 14:34 I KNOW THAT SOUNDS A LITTLE CONFUSING BUT 14:36 THAT'S ACTUALLY WHAT'S HAPPENING HERE TODAY. 14:38 WE ARE WITH CHARLES SHULTZ AND HE IS IN HIS HOME WITH 14:43 US HERE ON ZOOM AND CHARLES, WE'RE HERE ON THE 14:47 "ADVENTURES IN MISSIONS" ZOOM SET AND YOU'RE THERE 14:50 COMFORTABLE IN YOUR LIVING ROOM AND WE'RE TALKING 14:52 ABOUT NEPAL BECAUSE THIS IS WHAT WE CAN DO RIGHT 14:55 NOW. 14:56 SO CHARLES TAKE US BACK TO NEPAL AND YOU'RE SHARING 14:59 WHAT'S HAPPENING THERE AS WE ZOOM TOGETHER HERE AND 15:04 YOU'VE GOT SOME PICTURES TO SHARE WITH US. 15:07 YES. 15:08 AND YOU KNOW FEAR, PEOPLE ARE DYING ALL OVER NEPAL 15:12 AND WE DON'T WANT THEM TO FEEL DISCONNECTED BECAUSE 15:18 OUR CHURCHES ARE SCATTERED ALL OVER THE HILLS AND 15:22 THERE'S NO ONE BIG CENTRAL CHURCH WHERE PEOPLE COME. 15:25 THERE'S NO CAMP MEETING. 15:27 THE ONLY THING THAT WE CAN USE TO TIE PEOPLE IS THE 15:33 INTERNET AND ZOOM. 15:34 AND FORTUNATELY NEPAL AND INDIA HAVE VERY GOOD 15:36 INTERNET CONNECTIONS. 15:37 WE WANTED TO GIVE OUR MEMBERS AND EVERYONE THE 15:38 OPPORTUNITY TO HEAR THE WORD OF GOD AND SO WE HAD 15:39 A YOUTH WEEK OF PRAYER. 15:40 A YOUTH WEEK OF PRAYER. 15:41 WONDERFUL. 15:42 AND WE HAVE SOME SPEAKERS THERE ON THE PHOTO. 15:42 AND TELL ME ABOUT THESE YOUNG PEOPLE. 15:44 WELL THESE ARE ALL YOUNG PEOPLE, LIKE YOU SAY, AND 15:45 I LEARNED THAT IT'S EASIER TO WATCH AND LISTEN TO AN 15:47 ATTRACTIVE NEPALI LADY PREACHING THAN IT IS AN 15:48 OLD GUY LIKE ME. 15:49 (LAUGHTER) YOUR SMILE IS GREAT CHARLES AND YOUR 15:50 SENSE OF HUMOR IS GREAT SO SEE. 15:51 YES, YOU'RE GREAT. 15:51 AND SO IT WAS GOOD TRAINING FOR THEM. 15:52 I MEAN WE HAVE PROSPECTIVE PREACHERS HERE. 15:54 GOSPEL OUTREACH WORKERS. 15:55 GOOD. 15:56 AND IT WAS VERY GOOD FOR THEM AND ALSO PEOPLE, OVER 15:57 A HUNDRED DIFFERENT CONGREGATIONS. 15:58 AND I WAS AMAZED AT THE SUCCESS OF THIS YOUTH WEEK 15:59 OF PRAYER. 16:00 THIS WAS IN MARCH. 16:01 AND IT WAS ALL ON ZOOM. 16:01 ALL ON ZOOM. 16:02 WONDERFUL, WONDERFUL. 16:47 AND HERE WE HAVE A HAPPY SABBATH. 16:49 AND IT'S WONDERFUL TO SEE THE NEPALI LANGUAGE AND 16:53 TELL ME ABOUT WHAT'S GOING ON HERE. 16:57 WELL, AGAIN THE YOUTH WANT TO DO SOMETHING. 17:01 AND SO THIS IS OUTSIDE. 17:03 AND BELIEVE IT OR NOT THIS IS ROAD REPAIR. 17:06 I HAVE SEEN ROAD REPAIR LIKE THIS. 17:09 AND ALSO PATH REPAIR BECAUSE A LOT OF PEOPLE 17:12 USE PATHS. 17:13 THEY DON' HAVE MOTOR VEHICLES AND SO THIS WAS A 17:18 PROGRAM CALLED "REACH OUT" . 17:20 AND EVERY SABBATH YOU KNOW AND SABBATH STARTS I THINK 17:27 IT'S LIKE FRIDAY MORNING. 17:29 FRIDAY NIGHT IS THE SAME AS FRIDAY MORNING AND SO 17:38 THEY WOULD SEND THESE PICTURES OUT AND ENCOURAGE 17:41 EVERYONE LOOK THIS IS WHAT THE YOUTH ARE DOING. 17:44 AND THEN IN THE MONTH OF MAY IT WAS VERY VERY 17:50 SERIOUS BECAUSE PEOPLE IN THE DIVISION, PEOPLE IN 17:53 THE NORTH INDIA UNION, THEY HAD COVID. 17:57 AND SEVERAL DEPARTMENTS WERE JUST LAID LOW. 18:01 YOU KNOW THERE WASN'T ANY OXYGEN, THERE WASN'T ANY 18:04 MEDICINE. 18:05 AND IT HADN'T QUITE HIT NEPAL YET BUT THERE WAS A 18:12 LOT OF UNCERTAINTY. 18:13 AND SO I THINK NEPAL WAS VERY CORRECT IN HAVING A 18:18 PRAYER SESSION. 18:19 THE WHOLE MONTH OF MAY WAS DEDICATED TO PRAYER. 18:25 SEVEN TO EIGHT NEPALI TIME IN THE EVENING WAS 9:15 IN 18:30 THE MORNING FOR ME AND SO I WOULD LISTEN TO THEM. 18:34 AND YOU KNOW JUST HAVING ME THERE. 18:39 SOMETIMES THEY WOULD ASK ME TO PRAY, SOMETIMES THEY 18:41 WOULD ASK ME TO PREACH. 18:42 BUT I'M JUST THERE TO GIVE THEM SOME ENCOURAGEMENT 18:45 AND SUPPORT. 18:46 AND MY NAME HAS CHANGED OVER THE 52 YEARS I'VE 18:52 BEEN CONNECTED WITH NEPAL AND NOW THEY CALL ME 18:55 PASTOR BHAYO. 18:56 BHAYO IS OLD (LAUGHTER) WELL, AND SEE IN THAT PART 19:03 OF THE WORLD THAT'S OUT OF RESPECT THOUGH CHARLES. 19:06 YES, THAT'S RESPECTFUL. 19:09 YES. 19:10 SO THAT'S NICE. 19:11 AND I LOVE THE SCRIPTURE THOUGH CHARLES. 19:13 MARK 11. 19:14 THEREFORE I TELL YOU WHATEVER YOU ASK FOR IN 19:17 PRAYER BELIEVE THAT YOU HAVE RECEIVED IT AND IT 19:20 WILL BE YOURS. 19:22 YES, YES. 19:23 AND YOU KNOW IT WAS A GROWING EXPERIENCE FOR 19:26 EVERYONE IN NEPAL. 19:27 YES. 19:28 AND THEN THE PRACTICALITY OF FOOD. 19:32 ESPECIALLY IN REMOTE AREAS. 19:34 NOW THIS CHURCH WHERE WE'RE LOADING RICE. 19:38 AND THIS IS A YOUNG GOSPEL OUTREACH WORKER. 19:40 AND THIS IS 15 MILES FROM THE TIBETAN BORDER. 19:44 THIS POOR CHURCH WAS BLOWN UP BY THE MAOIST 19:48 COMMUNISTS SEVERAL YEARS AGO. 19:51 AND THEN THEY REBUILT IT. 19:52 AND THEN OF COURSE THE EARTHQUAKE HIT RIGHT 19:55 AROUND THERE AND IT WAS LEVELED AGAIN. 19:57 AND SO IT'S BEEN BUILT AGAIN AND THIS YOUNG 20:01 GOSPEL OUTREACH WORKER IN THE PURPLE, FOR SECURITY I 20:05 WON'T TELL YOU HIS NAME, BUT HE HAS TWO CHURCHES. 20:10 HE HAS THE BOMBED OUT CHURCH THAT'S CONTINUALLY 20:14 RECYCLING AND THEN HE HAS STARTED ANOTHER CHURCH. 20:17 A VERY ENERGETIC YOUNG MAN. 20:21 WOW. 20:23 AND THEN WE HAVE THESE LADIES, THE FOOD, THE 20:25 BAGS, THE RED BAGS. 20:27 THAT'S RICE. 20:27 RICE OK. 20:29 AND THEN THE ORANGE, THE ORANGE IS DAHL OR LENTILS. 20:34 OK, GOOD. 20:35 AND THEN THE OTHER LITTLE BAG IS OIL. 20:39 AND THEY WILL GET THEIR VEGETABLES OUT THERE IN 20:41 THE GARDEN SOMEPLACE. 20:43 SURE. 20:43 THEY ARE GREAT ON GARDENING. 20:47 WE ALSO HAVE A SEVENTH-DAY ADVENTIST SCHOOL WHICH IS 20:51 IN A VERY, VERY POOR AREA RIGHT NEXT TO THE BORDER 20:54 OF INDIA. 20:55 AND THE TEACHER THERE IS, SHE IS ALWAYS LOOKING OUT 21:00 FOR HER KIDS. 21:01 AND HERE SHE IS GIVING FOOD TO ONE OF HER 21:08 STUDENTS AND THE MOTHER. 21:10 THE STUDENT IS EXCITED ABOUT GETTING THE FOOD. 21:16 AND YOU KNOW, HERE'S ANOTHER SITUATION. 21:18 NOW THIS IS SHOWING YOU THE ABJECT POVERTY THAT 21:19 THEY HAVE. 21:20 AND JUST HOW MISERABLE AND THEY CAN'T WORK BECAUSE OF 21:21 COVID. 21:22 AND SO WHO IS GOING TO GIVE THEM FOOD? 21:23 AND THIS IS AN OPPORTUNITY FOR US TO SHOW THEM THAT 21:25 WE CARE ABOUT THEM YOU KNOW, AND THAT 21:26 CHRISTIANITY IS GOING TO IMPROVE THEIR LOT IN LIVE 21:27 AND THAT GOD WILL BE ABLE TO FEED THEM. 21:29 AND YOU KNOW CHARLES, WHEN JESUS SAID IN THE BIBLE 21:30 WHEN YOU SHOWED UP AND WHEN YOU GAVE ME CLOTHES 21:31 AND WHEN YOU GAVE THEM FOOD YOU GAVE IT TO ME. 21:41 AND LOOK AT THIS DEAR FAMILY. 21:54 AND HERE IN OUR WESTERN CULTURE YOU KNOW WE'RE 21:57 UPSET THAT WE'RE NOT ABLE TO GO TO THE MALL, WE'RE 21:59 NOT ABLE TO DO THIS AND EVERYTHING, AND LOOK AT 22:01 THIS DEAR FAMILY THAT HAS BEEN, I SEE A GOAT IN THE 22:06 PICTURE TOO. 22:07 SO HERE THEY ARE AND FOOD WAS BROUGHT TO THEM. 22:10 AND WOW. 22:11 THAT'S A PICTURE FOR ALL OF US TO REMEMBER RIGHT 22:13 THERE. 22:14 RIGHT. 22:15 AND YOU KNOW IT'S ALSO AN OPPORTUNITY FOR OUR GOSPEL 22:18 OUTREACH WORKERS TO VISIT PEOPLE IN THE HOSPITAL WHO 22:23 HAVE COVID. 22:24 AND YOU KNOW WE MIGHT BE CONCERNED, WELL I DON'T 22:30 WANT TO GO VISIT HER BECAUSE I'LL GET IT 22:35 MYSELF. 22:36 SO AGAIN FEAR HAS TO DO WITH TRUSTING IN JESUS. 22:42 AND HERE OUR GOSPEL OUTREACH WORKERS VISITING 22:45 THIS LADY AND IT LOOKS LIKE SHE IS RECOVERING BUT 22:49 THIS IS THE TIME TO SHOW PEOPLE THAT YOU CARE. 22:54 YES, YES. 22:55 THEN WE HAD THIS TERRIBLE ACCIDENT. 22:57 TELL US ABOUT THE ACCIDENT. 23:00 WELL THIS IS A PICKUP TRUCK, OR WAS A PICKUP 23:03 TRUCK. 23:04 OH DEAR. 23:05 AND THERE WERE LIKE 17, 18 PEOPLE PILED IN THE BACK 23:07 OF THIS PICKUP TRUCK AND INSIDE AND ALL THIS SORT 23:10 OF THING AND IT FELL OFF THE ROAD, ROLLED DOWN THE 23:13 MOUNTAIN SIDE. 23:15 AND WE HAD SEVERAL SEVENTH-DAY ADVENTISTS 23:17 THAT WERE INVOLVED IN THIS. 23:19 YOU KNOW IT WAS JUST HORRENDOUS. 23:22 SO VISITING PEOPLE, SHOWING OUR MEMBERS. 23:26 YOU KNOW SOME OF THESE PEOPLE WERE ADVENTISTS 23:31 SOME OF THEM WEREN'T BUT WE VISITED EVERYBODY AND 23:36 THE OPPORTUNITY TO SHOW PEOPLE WE CARE. 23:40 BECAUSE IF YOU CAN SHOW THE PEOPLE THAT WE CARE 23:43 ABOUT THEM THEN THEY ARE GOING TO LISTEN TO YOU AND 23:46 THEY ARE GOING TO HAVE RESPECT FOR WHAT YOU 23:49 BELIEVE. 23:51 SO THEN WE HAVE A PICTURE OF A LADY. 23:52 WAS SHE ONE OF THE INJURED? 23:54 SHE IS ONE OF THE CAUSALITIES. 23:56 THERE WERE ONE OR TWO PEOPLE KILLED BECAUSE 23:59 BASICALLY, YOU CAN IMAGINE BEING IN THE BACK OF A 24:02 PICKUP TRUCK AND THEN IT FALLS OFF THE CLIFF AND 24:08 PEOPLE JUMP OUT. 24:09 THEY ARE IMPALED ON TREES, THEY BREAK THEIR BONES. 24:12 OH DEAR, OH DEAR. 24:13 IT WAS HORRIBLE. 24:14 AS IF COVID WASN'T ENOUGH AND THEN THERE'S THAT TOO. 24:18 SO ALRIGHT. 24:18 GIVE US SOME HOPE. 24:20 I SEE SOME HOPEFUL PICTURES HERE. 24:22 WELL YOU KNOW, IT A TIME TO GIVE OUT THE BIBLES. 24:26 AND NOTICE WE'RE GIVING THEM TO YOUNG PEOPLE 24:28 BECAUSE YOUNG PEOPLE CAN READ THE BIBLE. 24:33 WE WISH EVERYONE COULD READ BUT THE OLDER FOLKS 24:36 NEVER HAD THAT OPPORTUNITY AND EDUCATION IS NOT FREE. 24:42 BUT IT IS SO IMPORTANT IN NEPAL BECAUSE BY READING 24:47 YOU CAN GET INVOLVED WITH LEARNING OF JESUS. 24:53 SO IT SOUNDS LIKE THE GOSPEL OUTREACH WORKERS 24:55 DESPITE EVERYTHING THAT IS GOING ON THEY'VE BEEN 24:57 REALLY BUSY. 24:59 THAT'S RIGHT. 25:00 AND I WANT TO SHOW YOU THIS PICTURE ABOUT A 25:04 BAPTISM. 25:05 YES, THAT IS THE HOPEFUL PART. 25:09 NOTICE THERE IS A BAPTISMAL TEAM. 25:12 YOU HAVE A PASTOR AND THEN HE IS AIDED. 25:17 THE MAN IN THE COLORFUL SWEATER, BECAUSE IT'S 25:23 COLD, IS A GOSPEL OUTREACH WORKER. 25:25 AND THEN THE MAN WITH THE BIG STICK HE IS ALSO GOING 25:29 TO BE BAPTIZED BUT HE IS HELPING PEOPLE GET IN AND 25:33 OUT BECAUSE THIS IS THE SUNKOSHI RIVER. 25:35 IT'S VERY VERY COLD AND THERE ARE THESE POCKETS 25:37 YOU KNOW. 25:38 IF YOU STEP IN THE WRONG PLACE YOU'RE GOING TO DROP 25:41 DOWN OVER YOUR HEAD. 25:43 AND SO HE IS HELPING PEOPLE IN AND OUT OF THE 25:47 BAPTISTERY. 25:48 PRAISE THE LORD. 25:49 PRAISE THE LORD. 25:50 THE THING THAT I LOVE ABOUT THIS MAN IS HE 25:55 HIMSELF WAS BAPTIZED. 25:56 I THINK THAT'S SO NICE. 25:58 IT LOOKS LIKE HE IS INHALING EXTRA HARD. 26:01 WELL SEE. 26:03 SO DESPITE EVERYTHING. 26:04 PEOPLE HAVE BEEN OUTSIDE, THEY'VE BEEN TRYING TO BE 26:06 CAREFUL AND THE LORD HAS WORKED WITH THE GOSPEL 26:09 OUTREACH WORKERS. 26:10 AND WE HAVE PHILIPPIANS 4:13 I CAN DO ALL THIS 26:14 THROUGH HIM WHO GIVES US STRENGTH. 26:16 AND CHARLES I THINK WE CAN SAY THAT ABOUT OUR GOSPEL 26:18 OUTREACH WORKERS IN NEPAL. 26:20 SO CHARLES SHULTZ THANK YOU FOR BEING WITH US HERE 26:22 TODAY AND PLEASE SHARE WITH THE GOSPEL OUTREACH 26:25 WORKERS THAT WE ARE INDEED PRAYING FOR THEM IN NEPAL. 26:27 OK THANK YOU SO MUCH. 26:29 THANK YOU CHARLES. 26:30 AND THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR BEING A PART OF 26:32 "ADVENTURES IN MISSIONS." 26:33 I'M JULIE FOR GOSPEL OUTREACH AND MAY THE LORD 26:35 BLESS YOU TODAY. 26:36 [CLOSING MUSIC] |
