STANLEY 01:35 STURGES. 01:36 OH. 01:37 AND I WAS 15 YEARS OLD AND YES, THAT WAS THE 01:41 BEGINNING OF MY LOVE AFFAIR WITH THE COUNTRY OF 01:45 NEPAL. 01:46 JUST A LITTLE FOLLOWUP ON THAT, CHARLES AND I BOTH 01:49 ATTENDED OUR SECONDARY SCHOOL AT OUR SCHOOL IN 01:54 INDIA UP IN THE HILLS, VINCENT HILLS SCHOOL. 01:56 IT IS NO LONGER THERE. 01:58 THE CAMPUS IS THERE BUT NO LONGER MINISTERING TO 02:01 MISSIONARY KIDS AS IT WERE. 02:04 HE MET STANLEY STURGES WHO FOUNDED A HOSPITAL IN 02:06 NEPAL, PIONEER WORKER, AND I WAS THERE SOME YEARS 02:10 LATER-LIKE FOUR YEARS LATER AND I GOT TO SPEND A 02:13 WINTER AT THAT SAME HOSPITAL WITH STANLEY'S 02:16 BROTHER, KEITH. 02:18 AND SO, WE SHARE A LITTLE BIT OF COMMON GROUND THERE 02:22 AND I JUST - NEPAL IS SUCH A PART OF YOUR LIFE 02:26 BECAUSE YOU WERE THERE LONG BEYOND THAT 02:29 ENCOUNTER. 02:30 YES. 02:31 YES. 02:32 AND TODAY, YOU KNOW, WE'RE GOING TO TALK ABOUT 02:34 MONBADUR RI AND HE HAS A REMARKABLE STORY AND WE 02:40 HAVE A SHORT VIDEO WATCHING ONE OF OUR GOSPEL 02:42 OUTREACH WORKERS IN ACTION. 02:43 WHAT DOES A GOSPEL OUTREACH WORKER DO? 02:45 YES. 02:46 AND HOW ARE THEY COPING WITH THE COVID CRISIS? 02:53 AND SO, TO BEGIN THE STORY WITH MONBADUR WE ARE GOING 02:57 TO HAVE TO GO BACK WHEN HE FINDS OUT A LITTLE ABOUT 03:01 CHRISTIANITY AND HE ANNOUNCES TO HIS MOTHER 03:04 AND FATHER THAT HE WANTS TO BE A CHRISTIAN. 03:07 AH. 03:08 NOW, AND THIS IS IN THE OLD DAYS WHEN -GIVE US THE 03:13 CONTEXT. 03:14 THE GOVERNMENT SAYS YOU CANNOT CHANGE YOUR 03:17 RELIGION IF YOU WERE BORN A HINDU, YOU HAVE TO 03:21 REMAIN A HINDU AND SO UM, AND YOU CAN BE THROWN OUT 03:26 OF YOUR HOUSE, UH HUH, YOU HAVE NO PROPERTY. 03:29 YOU ARE NOTHING. 03:30 AND SO, HE MAKES THIS DECISION TO LEAVE AND HIS 03:36 DAD KICKS HIM OUT AND HIS MOTHER IS WEEPING AND SHE 03:40 CRYING AND SHE'S CRYING AND FINALLY SHE, YOU KNOW, 03:44 IT JUST DOESN'T SEEM RIGHT AND SO, HE'S LEAVING THE 03:48 HOUSE AND HE HAS NO MONEY AND SHE GIVES HIM THIS 03:53 LITTLE LAMB. 03:55 A LAMB AND SO HERE HE IS WALKING DOWN THE STREET 03:56 WITH THIS LAMB AND YOU KNOW, WHAT IS HE GOING TO 03:58 DO WITH THIS LAMB? 03:59 AND SO, AFTER A FEW DAYS HE COMES TO A FAIRLY LARGE 04:09 TOWN AND HE SELLS THE LAMB AND NOW HE HAS MONEY AND 04:18 YOU KNOW HE COULD HAVE USED THAT MONEY TO EAT AND 04:22 STAY IN A HOTEL OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT BUT 04:24 NO, HE BUYS A VOLLEYBALL AND A VOLLEYBALL NET AND. 04:30 HOW OLD IS HE WHEN THIS HAPPENS? 04:35 UH, HE'S I BELIEVE HE IS IN HIS 20'S SO HE, O.K., 04:39 AND HE IS A STRONG GUY YOU KNOW, AND HE CAN DO 04:43 SOMETHING WITH HIS LIFE BUT HE WANTS TO TRY A NEW 04:48 FORM OF EVANGELISM. 04:50 IT IS CALLED VOLLEYBALL EVANGELISM. 04:53 SO FRESH OUT OF BEING KICKED OUT OF HIS HOME, 04:56 YUP, HE SAYS I WILL REACH OUT TO OTHERS WITH THE JOY 05:00 OF THE LORD. 05:01 THAT'S RIGHT. 05:01 THAT'S RIGHT. 05:02 AND SO, HE PUTS UP THE NET AS YOU SEE IN THE PICTURE, 05:06 OH YES, AND HE-THERE IS A YOUNG MAN WHO WANTS TO 05:09 PLAY VOLLEYBALL WITH HIM. 05:10 AND GRABS THE BALL AND UM, MONBADUR SAYS, WAIT A 05:13 MINUTE BEFORE YOU CAN PLAY YOU HAVE TO REPEAT AND 05:20 HOPEFULLY MEMORIZE A BIBLE VERSE. 05:23 OK, AND THIS IS IN NEPALI LANGUAGE SO, IT'S JOHN 05:27 3:16 OR SOMETHING AND SO, THE YOUNG MAN REPEATS IT 05:31 AND TRYS TO LEARN IT AND SO, OK. 05:34 AND THEN ANOTHER YOUNG MAN COMES IN AND SO HE HAS HIS 05:39 VOLLEYBALL TEAM AFTER THEY HAVE BEEN TRAINED IN 05:43 LITTLE BIT OF THE BIBLE AND THE NEXT PICTURE WILL 05:46 SHOW ONE OF HIS VOLLEYBALL CONVERTS. 05:51 NOW THIS IS YEARS, YEARS LATER. 05:53 OK. 05:54 AH, THIS IS AT A YOUTH CONGRESS AND HERE'S ONE OF 05:57 THE RECIPIENTS OF VOLLEYBALL EVANGELISM AND 06:03 THIS YOUNG MAN -MONBADUR IS THERE ON THE LEFT, OK, 06:06 AND THE YOUNG PERSON THAT HE WAS ABLE TO SHOW JESUS 06:11 TO IS ALSO A GOSPEL OUTREACH WORKER. 06:14 BOTH OF THEM, YES. 06:15 WOW. 06:16 BOTH OF THEM AND YOU KNOW AH, I LEFT NEPAL IN 1977. 06:24 I WENT TO SPICER COLLEGE TO TEACH AND THEN I CAME 06:28 BACK IN 1982 JUST TO SEE HOW THE WORK WAS GOING UH 06:31 HUH, AND WE HAD LIKE 15 SEVENTH DAY ADVENTISTS AND 06:38 SO IN THE NEXT SLIDE WILL SHOW UM, 2008 AND MONBADUR 06:48 IS THERE IN THE STRIPED SHIRT AND THE REST OF 06:52 THESE EXCEPT FOR THE GENTLEMAN ON THE -IN THE 06:55 DARK SHIRT- I DON'T THINK HE IS A GOSPEL OUTREACH 06:58 WORKER BUT THESE THREE YOUNG MEN WERE TRAINED BY 07:04 SANDRA HORNER, LAYMAN'S MINISTRY, ANOTHER 07:07 SUPPORTING MINISTRY THEY WERE TRAINED IN MEDICAL 07:10 EVANGELISM AND I HAD BEEN CALLED TO A COUPLE OF 07:16 WEEKENDS TO GIVE ADVANCED TRAINING IN MEDICAL 07:20 MISSIONARY TRAINING, YOU KNOW, YES, SIMPLE FIRST 07:22 AID AND THINGS LIKE THAT. 07:24 AND I WAS YOU KNOW, 1982 TO 2008 ALL OF A SUDDEN 07:31 INSTEAD OF 15 SEVENTH DAY ADVENTISTS, 6000

WAS THE MAIN CONTACT FOR THESE 07:54 MANY CONVERTS. 07:55 AND YOU KNOW, THIS IS THE FIRST TIME I'M SORRY TO 07:59 SAY, THE FIRST TIME I EVER HEARD ABOUT GOSPEL 08:02 OUTREACH. 08:03 I WAS A PASTOR IN SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA AND YOU KNOW, I 08:05 WAS OUT DOING BIBLE STUDIES BUT NOBODY TOLD ME 08:08 ABOUT GOSPEL OUTREACH. 08:09 AND I WAS SO AMAZED AT HOW SUCCESSFUL GOSPEL OUTREACH 08:12 HAD BEEN AND SO NOW AT THIS TIME-SO, LET ME JUST 08:14 STOP THERE FOR A MOMENT. 08:15 FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO ARE WATCHING, YOU KNOW, YOU 08:16 ARE HEARING THIS TESTIMONY ABOUT WHERE HE BECAME 08:17 AWARE OF THE EFFECTIVENESS OF GOSPEL OUTREACH WORK. 08:18 THAT DID NOT HAPPEN BACK THEN NOR NOW EXCEPT FOR 08:20 PEOPLE LIKE YOU WHO FELT GOD'S CALL TO SAY, I'M 08:21 GOING TO SHARE SOME OF WHAT THE LORD HAS GIVEN

(VIDEO PLAYING). 09:40 I'M MONBADAHUR. 09:43 MY WIFE'S NAME IS ALITHARI. 09:50 WE HAVE FOUR CHILDREN AND FOUR GRANDCHILDREN. 09:52 I'M 58 YEARS OLD. 09:53 THIRTY-SIX YEARS OF MY LIFE WAS WORLDLY LIFE. 09:55 I MEAN I WAS IN THE WORLD. 09:56 AFTER 36 YEARS OF MY LIFE, I FOUND JESUS AND BELIEVED 10:00 HIM AS MY PERSONAL SAVIOR. 10:17 SIXTEEN YEARS AGO, WE CONSTRUCTED SEVENTH DAY 10:20 ADVENTIST CHURCH IN MY VILLAGE. 10:22 I'M A LEADER OF MY LOCAL CHURCH. 10:26 I WILL SEND TO GAMODI CHURCH BY MY LEADERS FOR 10:31 TWO YEARS. 10:34 AGAIN, I WAS SENT TO ANOTHER CHURCH, NARITA. 10:39 THERE ALSO I SERVED

CHURCH MEMBERS ARE 12:34 HAPPY AND AT PEACE. 12:37 YOU KNOW, OUR CHURCH THERE ARE 22 FAMILIES AND 12:41 ALTOGETHER 50 PEOPLE. 12:46 ALL THE ARE MEMBERS. 12:52 THEY ARE HAPPY TO WORSHIP THE LORD. 12:57

OF YOU, EVERYONE TO DEDICATE 13:56 OURSELVES TO JESUS. 14:06 BECAUSE HE IS OUR SAVIOR, HE IS OUR LIFEGIVER, HE IS 14:09 OUR LIFE PROTECTOR. 14:10 HE IS OUR SUSTAINER. 14:11 LET US BE CLOSE TO HIM AND ENJOY HIS COMPANY. 14:17 LET US THANK HIM AND BE CLOSE TO HIM. 14:25 (MUSIC PLAYING). 14:36 LET'S TAKE A LITTLE MOMENT RIGHT NOW AND LOOK AT THIS 14:40 THE OVERALL MISSION OF GOSPEL OUTREACH. 14:44 CONSIDER THIS PARTICULAR THAT HAS BEEN PUT 14:47 TOGETHER. 14:48 IT'S SO AMAZING JUST TO REMEMBER HOW FAR THE REACH 14:51 IS. 14:52 WATCH WITH ME. 14:55 GOSPEL OUTREACH IS ALL VOLUNTEER ORGANIZATION 14:58 FULLY DEDICATED TO EXTENDING THE 15:01 INTERNATIONAL MINISTRY AND OUTREACH OF THE SEVENTH 15:04 DAY ADVENTIST CHURCH IN DEVELOPING AREAS OF THE 15:07 WORLD WITH A VERY SPECIAL EMPHASIS ON THE 10/40 15:11 WINDOW. 15:12 MATTHEW 24:14 EXPLICITLY STATES THAT THE GOSPEL 15:17 WILL BE PREACHED IN ALL THE WORLD BEFORE JESUS 15:20 RETURNS. 15:22 THE WORLD POPULATION IS SEVEN BILLION. 15:25 BY FAR, THE LARGEST CONCENTRATION OF UNREACHED 15:28 PEOPLE IS FOUND IN THE 10/40 WINDOW. 15:32 OF THE 2.84 BILLION UNREACHED PEOPLE OF THE 15:36 WORLD 97 PER CENT LIVE IN THIS 10/40 WINDOW. 15:42 THIS IS A CHALLENGING REGION. 15:45 ISLAM, HINDUISM AND BUDDHISM ARE THE DOMINANT 15:49 RELIGIONS. 15:50 MANY OF THE COUNTRIES HAVE MULTIPLE LANGUAGES AND 15:54 DIALECTS. 15:55 POVERTY AND ILLITERACY ARE WAYS OF LIFE FOR THE 15:58 MAJORITY. 15:59 MILLIONS UPON MILLIONS ARE SEARCHING. 16:03 THEY NEED HOPE. 16:04 AN IMPORTANT KEY TO SPREADING THE GOSPEL IN 16:07 THIS AREA IS TO USE INDIGENOUS WORKERS. 16:11 THEY ALREADY KNOW THE LANGUAGE, THE RELIGION, 16:15 THE CULTURE OF THEIR PEOPLE. 16:17 BLESSED BY THE SPIRIT THEY ARE ABLE TO HELP WIN A 16:21 PERSON FOR JESUS FOR LESS THAN $6 IN MANY AREAS. 16:27 FOR TWENTY YEARS, GOSPEL OUTREACH HAS FOCUSED ON 16:30 BUILDING AWARENESS OF THE NEED IN THE 10/40 WINDOW. 16:34 IN ADDITION TO RAISING FUNDS TO SUPPORT 16:37 INDIGENOUS WORKERS, GOSPEL OUTREACH CANADA AND GOSPEL 16:41 OUTREACH BRAZIL HAVE JOINED IN THIS METHOD OF 16:45 TELLING THE WORLD ABOUT JESUS. 16:48 APPROXIMATELY 22OO WORKERS ARE SPONSORED THROUGH 16:51 GOSPEL OUTREACH AND ITS SISTER ORGANIZATIONS. 16:57 THE WORKERS ARE HIRED AND TRAINED BY ADVENTIST 16:59 MISSION OFFICES AND CAN BE FUNDED FOR AN AVERAGE OF 17:03 $150 PER MONTH. 17:05 THE MISSION OF GOSPEL OUTREACH IS TO CONTINUE 17:09 WORKING WITH THE SEVENTH DAY ADVENTIST CHURCH BY 17:13 SPONSORING WORKERS WHO WILL INTRODUCE PEOPLE TO 17:16 JESUS IN THE 10/40 WINDOW WITH A GOAL OF ONE MILLION 17:22 NEW BAPTISMS OVER THE NEXT THREE YEARS. 17:31 I WANT TO WELCOME YOU BACK TO "ADVENTURES IN 17:33 MISSIONS". 17:35 THIS IS A WONDERFUL CHANCE-I'M ENJOYING MY 17:38 CONVERSATION WITH CHARLES SHULTZ. 17:41 WE ARE TALKING ABOUT GOSPEL OUTREACH'S WORK IN 17:45 NEPAL. 17:47 IT IS ONE OF MANY PLACES-50 NATIONS WHERE WE 17:50 HAVE HAD VOLUNTEERS AND WORKERS AND PEOPLE WE ARE 17:53 SUPPORTING FINANCIALLY. 17:55 A HUNDRED DIFFERENT MISSIONS. 17:57 THERE ARE SO MANY BUT THIS ONE LITTLE KINGDOM NESTLED 18:01 BETWEEN NORTH INDIA AND THE HIMALAYA AND CHINA. 18:05 TELL US SOME MORE. 18:07 YOU WERE INTRODUCING US AND TELLING US THE STORY 18:10 OF MANBAHADURI, I BELIEVE. 18:13 YES. 18:13 THE BEST I CAN COME UP WITH. 18:14 RIGHT. 18:15 AND YOU KNOW, THE CHRISTIANS HAVE THEIR OWN 18:18 GREETING. 18:20 AH, THE STANDARD GREETING IN NEPAL IS NAMASTE WHICH 18:24 MEANS LITERALLY I BOW TO THE GOD WITHIN YOU. 18:28 WELL, YOU KNOW, THAT'S NOT VERY CHRISTIAN AND SO THE 18:33 CHRISTIAN GREETING IS GIYMASI. 18:35 GIY IS PRAISE, MASI IS JESUS. 18:39 SO, PRAISE JESUS. 18:40 SO, YOU HEARD THAT WHEN THEY WOULD COME AND THIS 18:42 IS DURING THE MONSOONS. 18:43 UH, AND AJUNGARI -THIS AREA I'VE BEEN THERE 18:49 DURING THE MONSOON, LEECHES, OH YES AND WE 18:54 DIDN'T SEE THEM PICKING THE LEECHES OFF BUT IT 18:57 WASN'T RAINING-THAT WAS A BLESSING AND HE IS 18:58 VISITING FROM HOUSE TO HOUSE AND YOU KNOW, HE IS 19:00 OUTSIDE SO THAT'S PROBABLY SAFE AS FAR AS COVID AND I 19:01 DIDN'T-NO ONE WAS WEARING A MASK BECAUSE- BUT YOU 19:02 KNOW, OUR WORKERS, OUR GOSPEL OUTREACH WORKERS 19:04 HAVE BEEN PROTECTED BECAUSE A LOT OF THEM ARE 19:05 OUT. 19:06 AH. 19:07 AND THIS IS NOT A VERY SEDENTARY JOB IS IT? 19:08 NO, NO. 19:09 AND I'D LIKE TO PUT IN A THANK YOU TO GOSPEL 19:10 OUTREACH. 19:11 GOSPEL OUTREACH THOUGHT THAT IT WOULD BE NICE TO 19:12 HAVE SOME LITTLE GIFT FOR OUR GOSPEL OUTREACH 19:13 WORKERS JUST TO SHOW HOW MUCH WE APPRECIATE THEM. 19:14 UH HUH. 19:15 AND SO, WE HAVE MONEY FOR BACKPACKS. 19:16 OH. 19:17 AND YOU SAW HE HAD A BACKPACK. 19:18 YES, HE DID. 19:19 AND SOMETIMES YOU KNOW, THE ROADS THEY CAN'T USE 19:20 THEIR HANDS AND SO EVERYTHING IS IN THEIR 19:21 BACKPACK AND THEY ARE SCRAMBLING UP THE ROADS 19:22 BECAUSE THEY'VE BEEN WASHED OUT BY THE MONSOONS 19:24 ETC. AND HE IS A VERY DYNAMIC INDIVIDUAL. 19:25 I CAN SEE THAT, YES THEN HE HAS A CALL FOR THE 19:35 AUDIENCE TO SURRENDER THEIR LIVES TO JESUS. 19:41 YES. 19:42 AND SO, HE HAS BEEN VERY, VERY SUCCESSFUL AND THIS 19:45 PICTURE HERE I ACTUALLY VISITED HIM IN HIS HOME 19:47 AND HE IS A GREAT FRIEND, UM, AND THEY HAVE MORE 20:09 WOOD HERE AND THAT'S OK. 20:22 THEY HAVE BEEN FAIRLY FORTUNATE WITH NO 20:31 EARTHQUAKES IN THIS PARTICULAR SECTION OF 20:33 NEPAL. 20:34 THIS IS A BEAUTIFUL SECTION BECAUSE IT'S IN 20:35 THE FOOTHILLS. 20:35 OK. 20:36 OF THE HIMALAYAS SO IT IS NOT SO TERRIBLY HOT IN THE 20:37 SUMMER AND IT IS NOT SO COLD IN WINTER. 20:57 UM, SO THIS IS THE LITTLE GRANDAUGHTER. 20:59 OH. 20:59 NOW WHAT DO YOU THINK SHE IS EATING? 21:02 I WOULD HAVE TO GUESS. 21:04 IT ISN'T AN ICE CREAM CONE. 21:07 IT IS A BANANA. 21:08 THAT'S A BIG BANANA. 21:09 YES, AND THEY ARE VERY SWEET AND SO SHE GOT THIS. 21:14 HER GRANDPA GAVE IT TO HER AND SHE IS VERY HAPPY. 21:18 UM, THE CHILDREN IN NEPAL UM, THEY ARE VERY, VERY 21:23 LOVING AND THEY LOVE JESUS. 21:27 AND YOU NOTICE WHEN THEY ARE SINGING, YES, THEY 21:31 WERE. 21:32 YOU HAVE YOUR OWN MUSICAL INSTRUMENTS. 21:33 RIGHT THERE. 21:34 AND WHAT YOU NEED TO DO IS KEEP TIME AND THAT'S WHY 21:40 THE CLAPPING JUST TO KEEP TIME. 21:43 AND THEY DO VERY WELL. 21:46 HE WAS SINGING -THEY WERE SINGING ABOUT BEING HAPPY 21:48 AND THAT'S WHAT CHRISTIANITY GIVES TO THE 21:52 PEOPLE OF NEPAL. 21:52 TELL US ABOUT THAT. 21:54 I SEE THEIR SMILES. 21:56 YES. 21:57 THIS IS A DIFFERENT UNDERSTANDING OF 21:59 THEMSELVES, OF THE UNIVERSE, OF GOD. 22:03 WHERE DO YOU FIND THAT HAPPINESS? 22:05 WHEN DOES IT BECOME REAL FOR PEOPLE? 22:08 WELL, WHEN THEY ACCEPT JESUS CHRIST INTO THEIR 22:12 LIFE AND HINDUISM IS PERMEATED WITH FEAR. 22:17 YES. 22:18 AND YOU'VE GOT TO WORSHIP THESE GODS BECAUSE IF YOU 22:21 DON'T, THEY ARE GOING TO MAKE A LOT OF TROUBLE FOR 22:24 YOU AND SO, MANY OF THEIR HYMNS ARE ABOUT HOW JESUS 22:29 HAS CONQUERED SATAN. 22:31 RAJA JESU AYA. 22:33 JESUS IS COMING. 22:34 SITON JITNU COLLAJI. 22:36 SATAN IS THROWN DOWN AND BECAUSE THEY COME IN 22:40 CONTACT WITH SATAN AND THEY THEMSELVES HAVE THAT 22:45 POWER AND THAT ENTHUSIASM AND THAT LOVE BUT WHEN 22:49 THEY ARE OUT DEALING WITH THE PEOPLE IN THE VILLAGE, 22:53 THEY'LL BE CALLED UPON TO PRAY FOR DIFFERENT 22:55 INDIVIDUALS. 22:56 I SEE. 22:57 TO HELP THEM BE RELEASED FROM THESE DEMONIC 23:00 ACTIVITIES. 23:00 IT'S LIKE AN OPPRESSION. 23:03 YES. 23:04 BUT THIS IS I THINK HAS A LOT OF PARALLELS IN THE 23:08 FIRST WORLD. 23:09 YES. 23:10 THERE IS A LOT OF BELIEVERS HERE HAVE 23:12 SLIPPED INTO THAT SAME UNDERSTANDING THEY HAVE TO 23:14 BE AFRAID OF GOD AND EVERYTHING. 23:17 YES. 23:18 SO, THE BATTLE GOES ON NO MATTER WHERE YOU LIVE IN A 23:20 SENSE. 23:21 THAT'S RIGHT. 23:21 THAT'S RIGHT. 23:23 AND MONBADUR IS A HAPPY PERSON AND HE EXUDES THAT 23:27 HAPPINESS IN GOD'S WORD AND YOU KNOW, HE'S GOT HIS 23:32 BACKPACK AND HE HAS THIS WATER BOTTLE AND THINGS 23:35 LIKE THAT AND WHETHER OR NOT-I DON'T LIKE TO 23:38 TRAVEL. 23:39 I DON'T LIKE TO GO TO NEPAL IN THE MONSOON. 23:41 I'M KIND OF FUSSY BUT BECAUSE THE PATHS ARE 23:46 MUDDY AND THEY ARE SLIPPERY YOU KNOW. 23:48 YES. 23:49 NOW I SAW HE HAD A WALKING STICK. 23:51 SMART MOVE. 23:52 AND WHEN I GO TO NEPAL I HAVE A WALKING STICK TOO. 23:59 I DON'T THINK WE HAVE VERY LONG. 24:00 DO YOU HAVE ANY MORE PHOTOS TO SHARE WITH US?

25:11 ZOOM, YOU KNOW, ZOOM IS VERY, VERY POPULAR. 25:16 100 DIFFERENT LOCATIONS-CHURCHES, HOME 25:19 GROUPS AND YOU KNOW, I WAS JUST FASCINATED WITH ZOOM 25:27 AND HOW 100 CHURCHES SPREAD OUT THROUGH THE 25:31 COUNTRY AND IT WOULD TAKE ME MONTHS TO VISIT THESE 25:36 CHURCHES. 25:37 SURE. 25:38 BECAUSE SOME OF THEM I'D HAVE TO WALK TO, I COULD 25:40 RIDE TO I'D TAKE A BUS TO BUT HERE THEY WERE WE WERE 25:44 ALL CONNECTED WITH ZOOM AND I THINK THAT IS SUCH A 25:47 PRECIOUS THING. 25:48 SO, SATAN COMES IN WITH A ROAD BLOCK. 25:51 JESUS HAS A WAY OF SOLUTION. 25:53 PEOPLE WHO INVENTED AND CREATED ZOOM PROBABLY 25:58 DIDN'T KNOW THAT BUT WHEN GOD IS THERE HE USES ALL 26:03 OF US IN A WAY TO BE HELPFUL. 26:05 YES. 26:06 OH MY. 26:07 CHARLES, THIS IS EXCITING. 26:09 YOU KNOW, GOD HAS BEEN SO GOOD TO NEPAL AND TO ME 26:13 AND WE HAVE NOT LOST ONE OF OUR 60 BIBLE WORKERS TO 26:18 COVID. 26:19 IS THAT A MIRACLE?
