Now straight. 01:58 Here we are. 02:00 Here we are, 02:00 Friends. Now. Here we are. Whoa! 02:03 Okay, I think I'm ready. 02:04 to ditch the headsets 02:09 See. Before headsets, you have to just 02:12 yell at each other, but over the engine. 02:14 But this is much better. 02:17 So we are headed out on our boat, 02:20 which is called the Summerhus, 02:22 which is summer house in Norwegian. 02:25 And we've just left our morning buoy 02:27 and we are going for a little boat tour. 02:31 It's a beautiful, beautiful day and Marshall and 02:34 I love being out on the water. 02:36 That's way cool. Oh, are you guys getting that? 02:39 Oh, awesome, awesome, look at that 02:44 Oh, look at that. 02:44 Look at that, woo. 02:50 Why boat's Marshall. 02:52 Well, we're told in the Bible that we are supposed to follow 02:55 Jesus example. 02:58 And of all of the activities he was involved in. 03:01 There was walking and there was boating. 03:04 So it just seems like the right thing to do. 03:10 I have spent hours 03:11 and hours and hours up here. 03:15 My name is Julie Sanders Keymer 03:17 and I'm the host of Adventures in Missions. 03:20 Having grown up here on the island 03:22 and being surrounded by so many retired missionaries, 03:25 I've been blessed to have learned from so many people. 03:28 And mentoring is really important. 03:34 And then these people were missionaries in Korea. 03:37 These people were, missionaries in India. 03:40 And then the people up here on the right 03:42 were missionaries in Indonesia. 03:45 my grandpa actually started Monterey 03:47 Bay Academy, and he and my grandma were pivotal in that. 03:50 And then they felt the call of the Lord, 03:52 and he got the idea to do dramatized audio Bible stories. 03:56 And that's how the Bible in Living Sound started. 04:00 This is my grandma, Ruth Benson Grunke. 04:03 And her parents were immigrants from Norway. 04:06 And this is my grandpa. 04:07 Leo Grunke, and they are the ones who started 04:10 Monterey Bay Academy and Bible loving sound. 04:14 So I have been part of the Bible and living sound 04:17 as a very young girl. 04:19 And we've gone from records to cassettes to CDs, 04:22 to DVDs, audio DVDs, and now, downloads. 04:27 And so mission sharing Jesus and his stories 04:30 has been very much a part of my family and my life. 04:38 I'm blessed with seven fingers. 04:39 God's number is ingrained 04:40 on the palms of my hand as he is on all of ours. 04:45 Because of what he did on the cross, for all of us 04:47 to be able to have 04:49 a connection with somebody and I have something special, 04:52 unique on the outside. 04:53 And some of us have 04:54 something unique on the inside, and some of us have both. 04:57 But for me, it's a connection that I'm able to have 05:00 with somebody else. 05:05 I was always wondering how I could use my communication 05:09 degree in journalism and also share about Jesus. 05:12 My career has continued and now to be involved 05:16 more with Blue Mountain Television, 05:17 which I was in college, 05:19 and then with Gospel Outreach to become a board member 05:22 and then to be asked to host Adventures in Missions. 05:24 It is humbling to sit in the host's chair 05:29 on the set of Adventures in Miss 05:31 I don't take that for granted at all. 05:33 I have a huge responsibility to 05:37 share and listen 05:39 with the regional directors who are going out and meeting 05:42 with our Gospel Outreach workers 05:44 and to have the sense of the enormity 05:48 of what our Gospel Outreach workers are sharing, 05:53 many of them in very serious situations where 05:56 they're not supposed to be talking about the living God. 06:00 I'm often moved to tears as a host. 06:03 The goal is to make the person feel as comfortable as they can 06:08 and to forget the fact that, yes, there are camera people 06:12 there, that there are cameras rolling, and we're just sharing 06:15 the good news about what Jesus is doing in the 1040 window. 06:19 So this is 06:20 this has been more powerful than really 06:22 we could have ever dreamed when we first started. 06:25 And so God is just doing some amazing things. 06:28 Absolutely. 06:29 The interesting thing is that a lot of people who 06:33 are Christians don't 06:35 realize that they're also Gospel Outreach workers. 06:38 And you don't have to go to India. 06:40 You don't have to go to Thailand. 06:42 You don't have to go to Cambodia. 06:44 But we can be Gospel Outreach workers by holding the door 06:47 open for somebody, by smiling at somebody. 06:50 And to me, God is going to bless that. 07:10 Both Julie 07:11 and I were involved in ministry separately 07:14 before we met and started hanging out together. 07:17 And we come from mission based families, 07:20 service oriented families as well. 07:23 So I put under my picture in college that I like sailing. 07:28 So I read that Julie was 07:31 only one of two or so people that had sailing listed. 07:35 Since I liked sailing, I thought I should 07:37 check her out a little bit. 07:41 And then Marshall proposed to me on the phone. 07:44 Where was I? 07:46 Saint Petersburg, Russia just called her right up 07:48 and asked her if she wanted to marry me. 07:50 You asked me if I wanted to be your best friend 07:53 for the rest of our lives. 07:58 So I didn't really get a clear response, 08:00 but luckily, Cause I was so shocked first in my life, 08:04 I was speechless. 08:06 I think that's the only time. 08:14 I think 08:16 that having somebody on your team who you can bounce 08:19 ideas off of, gained energy from when your battery's dead. 08:25 gain perspective on has really been 08:28 a life changer for both of us. 08:29 And Marshall 08:31 is a cheerleader for me. 08:33 And he is very supportive of the talents 08:37 that God has given me. 08:39 And I thank you, Marshall, for that. 08:44 Thanks for going boating with me. 08:46 Thank you. 09:03 Jim Reynolds from Ultimate Mission. 09:04 Welcome back to the set of Adventures in Missions. 09:07 Thank you. Julie. It's always great having you here. 09:09 Jim, you have, energy about you. 09:12 You have an enthusiasm. 09:14 All because of your love for the Lord. 09:15 And it's exciting to have you here. 09:17 Oh, praise God. Yeah. 09:18 It's. God gives us whatever I got. 09:20 That's what God gives. 09:21 I absolutely will take it. 09:23 And the two of us here, we've got a lot of energy, 09:26 so it's all good. 09:28 So, Jim, share with us ultimate mission. 09:30 what is your ultimate mission? 09:32 With Ultimate Mission. 09:33 so one of our biggest projects that we partner with the Gospel 09:36 Outreach on is to hire the wives of Bible workers 09:39 and train them to do public health work. 09:42 And then we stipend them. 09:44 So that way, Gospel Outreach wor 09:47 go out as a team 09:48 with the right arm of the ministry 09:50 and the gospel at the same time. 09:52 And and it is a powerful combination. 09:54 And women ministering to women 09:56 really help the Gospel Outreach workers get through the doors. 09:59 So this is 10:01 this has been more powerful than really 10:03 we could have ever dreamed when we first started. 10:05 And so God is just doing some amazing things. 10:08 Absolutely. 10:09 And as we talk about the 1040 window, this huge expanse, 10:13 from 10 to 40 degrees north, that's our emphasis here 10:16 at Gospel Outreach. 10:18 Millions of people, 10:19 so many people who need to know about Jesus. 10:22 Obviously, there are other scenes 10:24 that we have in our heads as I say those words. 10:27 Poverty, 10:28 disease, 10:30 lack of food, nutrition, things like that. 10:33 So we're going to be talking today about a very serious topic 10:37 that not only affects 10:38 the 1040 window, but affects people around the world. Yes. 10:42 And but specifically, we are talking 10:44 about the partnership with Ultimate Mission 10:46 and Gospel Outreach to help. 10:48 Who? Yeah. 10:49 Well, to help everybody, really. 10:52 I mean, this partnership really 10:56 allows us to help as many people as we can in the 1040 window. 10:59 And what we're talk about today is, is helping the women, 11:03 because the women, 75% of all of the suicides 11:08 that will happen today will happen in in places 11:12 that like the 1040 window in developing nations in India. 11:16 38% matter of fact, 38% 11:19 of all suicides that will happen on the planet today. 11:22 On with women between the ages of 15 11:26 and 39 will be in India 38. 11:29 Yeah. 30. Okay, let's say that again. 11:31 38% of all suicides on the planet that will happen 11:35 today will in for women will be between the ages of 15 and 39. 11:40 Will be in India, in India, 15 to age 39 in India. 11:43 Okay. And so, you know, it's sad. 11:46 Yeah. It's huge. 11:47 I mean, there's there's a huge problem in India 11:50 with depression, with suicide, with underreported suicides. 11:54 They figure that 30 to 100% suicides are underreported. 11:58 And it's just it's a big, big problem 12:02 why people don't want to talk about it. 12:05 Well, the people don't want to talk about it. 12:07 I mean, it's taboo even to talk about depression. 12:10 Much more suicide. 12:11 I mean, somebody walks in front of a bus, 12:13 they say, oh, she walked in front of the bus. 12:15 They didn't mention that she did it on purpose. 12:17 Somebody get sick and die is 12:18 they just say she got sick and died. 12:20 They don't mention that she drank poison, right? 12:22 This happens day after day, all the time, every day. 12:26 And I'm going to show you a video that you know, 12:28 this happens in our country 12:29 and it happens in other developed countries. 12:33 But what's happening in India, I think just watch this. 12:37 And and I think this will give you just a little bit of insight 12:40 of what we're dealing with. 12:41 The what the Gospel 12:42 Outreach worker wives are dealing with this. Watch this. 12:55 As we look at women in 12:57 India, let's start from let's start from childbirth. 13:01 So people want a boy. 13:03 They don't want a girl. Is that correct? That's right. 13:05 Why do people want a boy and not a girl? 13:08 they feel that 13:09 the boy is the one who can continue their legacy. 13:12 Okay. And so a girl. So. 13:15 So what do they do 13:16 if a lot of people, if they get a girl first or. 13:20 Or if they even think they're going to get a girl first? 13:24 if they get a girl first, 13:27 their first thought would be as soon as she gets 13:30 to the age of puberty, they want to get rid of her. 13:34 So they want to get her married off as soon as she gets 13:36 12, right? Yes. 13:37 That's true. 13:38 12 now, because in India, you have to pay a dowry 13:42 in order to get your daughter married to a man, correct? Yes. 13:46 And so you don't have to pay as high a dowry for a young girl 13:50 for a 12 13 year 13:51 old girl as you would for, say, somebody, 20, 21. 13:55 That's right. And why is that? 13:59 the as the age grows and, 14:03 if a girl looks more pretty, 14:06 you have to pay more dowry, right? 14:08 And if the girl is educated, 14:12 the boy will not be willing to marry. 14:15 So to avoid this situation, the parents will want 14:20 to get the girl married as soon as possible. And. 14:24 Okay, so. 14:25 So the boy doesn't want to marry an educated woman. Why? 14:29 he feels that, 14:30 the girl will dominate her if she's more educated. So. 14:35 So the parents and the dowry could be, what, 14:37 like six months salary, right? 14:39 Half a year's pay. 14:41 It could be more than that. 14:42 Even more than that. 14:43 It would cost to get your daughter married. Yes. 14:46 And so if you weren't that, 14:47 if you didn't have a lot of money, 14:49 your best bet 14:50 was to get your daughter married at 12 or 13 years. 14:53 And then. 14:54 So now, sometimes when a girl is born, 14:56 since nobody knows until they're born. 14:58 Yeah, sometimes the girls are murdered. 15:02 That's true. Yeah. So? 15:04 So the father will 15:05 just take the girl out and give her some poison and 15:09 hide her somewhere, or. 15:10 I mean, how how does that happen? 15:13 they have their own ways. 15:15 as soon 15:16 as the baby is born, they can, give something 15:19 which can stop the breathing of the child or most of them. 15:23 They just leave the baby in a dustbin 15:26 or in a hospital. 15:29 So they have many ways to get rid of the girl child. 15:32 And so these women, as they go out into the villages 15:36 and they start talking with people, 15:37 what I've been hearing is 15:39 that there is a tremendous 15:40 amount of alcoholism in these villages. Yes. 15:43 So, I mean, the poverty rate in these villages is very, 15:47 very high. 15:48 And so a lot of the men drink, they drink, they come home. 15:52 And what do they do? 15:54 They beat the wife. 15:55 They beat their wife. 15:56 Yeah. 15:57 They just they just hit her in black in her eyes or whatever. 16:00 Yes. And the police don't stop them. 16:04 the police, 16:05 don't, stop them because the police feel that 16:09 this is not something which they need to interfere. 16:13 And, most of the time the woman is victimized. 16:18 Right. 16:19 And justice is not being done. 16:28 The problems women face in India 16:30 and other developing countries can only be solved from within. 16:35 As we educate women, 16:36 they are set on the path to freedom and equal justice. 16:40 Additionally, as women find their place 16:43 in the community as village health workers, 16:45 they are seen as vital to the social structure. 16:49 By earning an income and saving lives, they gain value 16:52 in the eyes of the male dominated society. 16:56 Even more important than this is the introduction 16:59 of Christianity into an idol worshiping culture. 17:03 The teachings of Jesus Christ 17:05 leave no room for domination and abuse. 17:09 One of Ultimate Mission's 17:11 main goals is to improve the lives of women, 17:14 which in turn improve the lives of us all. 17:19 The Bible tells us in Galatians 3:28, 17:23 there's neither Jew nor Greek. 17:25 There is neither slave nor free. 17:28 There is neither male nor female. 17:31 For you are all one in Christ Jesus. 17:52 All right. Jim, 17:55 I'm sorry. No. 17:58 That was that was amazing. 18:00 I well, I've got so much going through my heart in my head 18:04 right now. 18:05 Wow. That was very, very moving. 18:08 I was so it was amazing how God brought this about, because 18:13 I think I talked to you last time when we spoke. 18:16 Last time I talked about a doctor 18:18 that was coming with me to do the mental health program. 18:20 Right. 18:21 Because we were instituting a mental health program. 18:22 And and so we did classes on suicide and depression and, 18:26 and how to recognize suicide. 18:28 But it turned out that he had a health problem. 18:30 He couldn't come. 18:32 So I had to to do the classes myself. 18:35 And I've had some background in mental health, classes 18:39 and things like that, but not enough, 18:40 I didn't think, and I didn't, but I got a hold of a therapist 18:43 who helped me put the classes together. 18:45 I did the classes, and when I did the classes, 18:47 what happened is the women started 18:49 opening up to me, really? 18:51 And they started telling me stories 18:53 and they started telling me things that were happening. 18:55 There was there was one woman in our group 18:57 that had been married and been beaten so badly 19:01 that she ended up coming back to her father. 19:03 Father was the Gospel Outreach worker, not her husband. 19:06 Thank God. Good. 19:07 but yeah, but she had gotten married, 19:09 and and her father was a Gospel Outreach worker, and she, 19:11 she had to come back home because she had been beaten. 19:13 So badly. 19:15 And, and these kind of stories that nobody ever tells. 19:17 I started hearing 19:18 and as I was hearing these stories 19:19 and putting everything together, 19:21 it started making me realize how important what we were doing, 19:25 because our ladies go out house the house 19:28 and they visit these women 19:29 that are going through this, and they have instructions 19:32 from us to watch for women that are being abused, 19:35 to watch for women that have lost children or whatever, 19:38 and taken from them. 19:40 And so 19:42 and watching this so as they're watching out for these women, 19:45 as soon as they find one 19:46 that they see suffering from depression, 19:49 they they're not eating as much as they did 19:51 or they're eating too much 19:52 or they're not sleeping anymore or they're sleeping too much. 19:55 You know, some of these, these depressions, signs, 19:57 they start seeing this, and then they start 19:59 working with them and praying with them 20:00 and building a community of church members around them 20:04 and, and also doing, 20:06 trying to get them in touch with a medical professional 20:09 and help, mental health professionals. 20:11 So we've even got to the point where all these countries 20:14 have suicide prevention hotlines and things like that. 20:17 So all the girls have these on their phones, 20:20 they're just they're on their phones. 20:21 Oh, they're on their phone. 20:22 So they, they have access to all they have to do. Yes. 20:25 I made sure that they put them in their contact list, 20:28 the suicide prevention numberst. 20:30 So, you know, 20:32 these are just, 20:33 you know, they're they're Bible worker wives, right? 20:36 They're not trained professionals, 20:38 but they have enough training. They're exactly. 20:41 Yeah. The empathy is there and. 20:43 Yeah. Yeah. 20:44 Wow. Well, yes, I, I hope that any viewer 20:48 who is watching this is, is moved 20:50 like I have been moved because this is something 20:53 not only vital in India, but yes, this is vital 20:56 in countries around the world 20:58 because just what you said, you know, 20:59 someone who is withdrawn, there's something going on. 21:03 And granted, you know, we all are human. 21:05 We all have, times in our lives that, 21:08 you know, it's not going the best possible 21:10 maybe the way we want it to be, 21:11 but this is where we need to be reaching out. 21:13 But then you have all of these cultural things, 21:16 you know, heaped on top of that, the expectations 21:19 of all of that. So. 21:21 So they're saying that the girls are married to young. 21:24 So basically they're young and dumb 21:28 because they don't want them to go on to school. Right. 21:31 And then they get into this cycle of, of of everything. 21:34 So girl could be married young and and what'll happen sometimes 21:37 is, is the family would just have a party 21:40 and not tell the girl what's going on. 21:42 And during this party. 21:43 What during this party, this other family 21:46 will come to the party. 21:47 And one of the person in this other family 21:49 is her going to be your betrothed? Yes. 21:52 So in the middle of the party, they'll stop 21:54 and they'll say, this is your husband. 21:56 And and traditionally what happens is, is the women, 22:00 the girls go live with the in-laws. 22:03 In-Laws. Yeah. So. 22:04 So now 22:06 at the end of the evening, the girl is now going to live 22:08 in a village. 22:09 She's never been with people she's never met 22:12 with the husband that she just learned about. 22:14 Right. 22:15 I don't want to get to. 22:16 But he did the wedding night for that young woman. 22:20 Yeah. 22:21 It's not something that it just the whole thing. So. 22:24 So the whole start of it. 22:26 And the women feel, you know, why am I even born? 22:29 Right? Right. 22:30 Why, yes. I mean, you would have to. Yes. 22:32 Question yourself. 22:33 Right. but but the interesting thing 22:34 is, I mean, we've heard about you 22:35 study history, European history, things like that. 22:37 I mean, these arranged marriages, 22:39 I mean, this goes way back. 22:40 I mean, look at what happened to, poor Jacob. 22:43 You know, here he's thinking is going to marry 22:44 the woman he's worked for, and he gets the sister. 22:47 You know, all of this. But, I mean, again, here we are. 22:49 You know, in this time and yet we're still we're still there. 22:54 Well, Jim, this is this is huge. 22:57 and for us to partner together to make sure 23:01 that we're getting a niche here. 23:03 And then I want to tell the listeners that, 23:06 that you can sponsor a woman through Gospel Outreach. 23:10 So. Yeah. 23:10 So, so 23:11 they can call Gospel Outreach and talk to them and sponsor 23:14 one of these women. 23:15 And it helps Gospel Outreach because Gospel Outreach, 23:19 you know, that's our how our partnership works is, is is they 23:23 help me to do the training and to give the stipends, 23:26 but that helps them when these women are sponsoring. 23:30 Well, Jim, you touched my heart with that story. 23:33 And when you go back in the Gospel 23:35 Outreach workers have those wives love on 23:37 everybody and greet that lady who did the interview for us. 23:40 God bless you. 23:43 What does it mean to be a Gospel 23:46 Well, today I want to share a story 23:47 with you from the country of Bangladesh. 23:50 Bangladesh is about the size of the state of Wisconsin, but 23:54 it's more than half the population 23:56 of the entire United States. 23:58 Most people in 23:59 Bangladesh are Muslim, but there are also many Hindus 24:02 and Buddhists as well. 24:03 But less than 1% of the population, 24:06 according to the government, is Christian. 24:09 Now. Gospel Outreach supports many workers 24:11 throughout the country of Bangladesh, 24:12 but one of those workers in particular, his name is Tapon. 24:17 Now Tapon lives in a very challenging area 24:20 where for eight months out of the year, 24:21 the land is completely flooded for rice paddy fields. 24:25 People here 24:26 rely on growing rice and selling dried fish to make a living. 24:30 Rice and fish are also the main food for everyone in this area, 24:33 whether it be two meals a day, three meals a day. 24:35 All they're eating mainly is rice and fish. 24:38 The only way to get around in this area 24:41 eight months out of the year is by boat 24:43 Tapon, lives with his family on a small island. 24:46 He travels by boat to nearby islands 24:49 to share the love of Jesus. 24:50 Sometimes you'll find him working alongside the locals 24:53 in rice paddy fields, and other times you'll find him 24:56 praying for the sick 24:57 and sharing Bible stories with the people of the area. 25:00 Near Tapon's home is a small Adventist 25:03 church set apart on its own little island. 25:06 When the water is low, people can walk to the church, 25:08 but most of the year, 25:09 the only way to get to this church is by boat. 25:13 While serving the community 25:14 Tapon and his wife noticed a big problem. 25:17 Many children who desire a better education 25:20 have to travel miles by boat 25:22 and then walk to the nearest government school. 25:24 This journey is really far too difficult for young children, 25:28 so many are left without a chance for a good education. 25:32 This is where Tapon and his wife seen an opportunity. 25:37 He and his wife started holding classes in the church 25:39 during the week. 25:40 What started with a few children quickly grew to over 60 25:44 students in two classes split up in this small building. 25:49 The effort that Tapon and his wife have made in 25:52 the community has made a huge impact. 25:54 The classes 25:56 not only provide education but also open hearts to the gospel. 25:59 Tapon and his wife, use Bible stories in their teaching, 26:03 and the children often share these stories 26:05 with their families when they go home. 26:08 They have been amazed at 26:09 how the Lord has doubled their ministry 26:11 since they started the little school. 26:13 In the church, 26:14 they have both faced many challenges and sometimes wonder 26:17 how they will eat themselves. 26:19 But God has shown through to them. 26:21 Time and time again. 26:23 Their faith has grown stronger 26:24 as they have 26:25 witnessed his provision and care for them in their lives. 26:29 This is just one of many exciting stories 26:31 that come from our Gospel Outrea 26:35 working on the front lines 26:36 for Jesus throughout the 1040 window. 26:38 If you have appreciated this story 26:40 and want to learn more about the work 26:42 being done through our Gospel Outreach Workers, 26:45 you can consume more of our video content. 26:48 Gospel Outreach has a streaming service called GOTV Missions. 26:52 You can download the app on your smartphone. 26:54 You can download it 26:55 on your smart TV like your Roku or your Apple TV. 26:58 Just search GOTV Missions. 27:01 You download the app and from there you can watch 27:04 mission stories from around the world 27:06 through Adventures in Missions, through our Destination 10/40 27:10 show and many other shows that we produce as well. 27:13 You can also watch 27:14 mission stories from other like minded Adventist 27:17 affiliated organizations through our app. 27:20 Our goal through GOTV is to provide one place for you 27:23 to come and be inspired by the work thats 27:26 being done throughout the world by many different Adventist 27:30 organizations. 27:31 Also, if you want to learn 27:32 how you can sponsor a Gospel Outreach worker on the front 27:36 lines, you can goaim.org 27:41 From there 27:42 you can learn more about Gospel Outreach 27:44 and you can learn how you can get involved 27:46 with this incredible spirit led organization. 27:49 Thank you for listening today. 27:51 I appreciate you.
