00:22 - Hello and welcome to "Jesus for Asia Now." 00:24 I'm Natalie Wood, and my husband, 00:25 John and I, are not in our studio. 00:28 We are in Indonesia, 00:30 aren't we dear? 00:32 - We are here. 00:33 As you can tell, 00:34 this is not an upgrade 00:34 or redecoration of our set. 00:36 This is a whole new location. 00:38 - Right. 00:39 And why are we here? - We are here on a mission. 00:43 - Okay. - We're here on a mission 00:45 trip. 00:46 It's the first of its kind that I've been involved with 00:49 because we're not here to build a church, 00:52 or we're not here to do an evangelistic series, 00:55 because in this place there is no local church, 01:00 there's no local people to work with. 01:01 There's nothing started. 01:03 And it's a very difficult place to 01:05 do traditional evangelism. 01:07 - Right. 01:08 - So we're trying a whole new approach 01:10 to evangelism in places where there's nothing happening. 01:13 - Okay, so we didn't come 01:14 to do traditional evangelism or anything like that. 01:17 What did we come here for? 01:18 - Well, we came because we were so desperate 01:22 to try to figure out, 01:23 there's so many places on the earth 01:25 in which there is no work started. 01:28 A lot of our evangelism is done in places 01:30 where the church is strong or starting, 01:32 and we come in and help bolster the locals. 01:34 But what do you do in a place where there is no locals? 01:37 - Yeah, where there's nothing happening. 01:38 There's no center of influence. 01:41 There's no existing church. 01:43 There's no- - No believers even. 01:46 So a few years ago we got desperate a little bit 01:50 and started really praying about, 01:51 "Lord, what do we do in a place 01:52 where we don't have the resource? 01:54 We don't know what kind of ministry 01:55 actually will work with these people." 01:57 So then we started to realize that 01:59 what we're attempting is a spiritual thing. 02:03 Spiritual activity. 02:04 So maybe we should use spiritual tools. 02:07 - Yeah, the best spiritual tool being prayer. 02:10 - Yeah. 02:11 - And we've seen this work in Thailand, in other cities. 02:14 So we just decided that this place, 02:18 we should just come here and pray. 02:20 - Right, right. 02:21 - So we started sharing with people. 02:22 - Yeah. - And some people were like, 02:25 "wow, that sounds like a cool idea." 02:26 But a lot of people were like, 02:28 "you're just gonna, what?" 02:30 - Can't you pray at home? - Yeah. 02:31 Save the money. 02:32 Pray at home. 02:34 - Yeah, honestly, I didn't think anybody would 02:36 want to go with us. 02:38 Want to come with us. - Yeah, aside from 02:38 our workers. - Yeah. 02:39 - You know, people from our office. 02:41 Because they understand and they've seen- 02:43 - Right. - What a difference... 02:44 They've been part of the prayers for the other places. 02:46 And so they know what a difference 02:48 God makes as a result of prayer. 02:50 - Yeah, yeah, yeah. 02:50 So, but we told... 02:52 You know, we put it out on our newsletter. 02:53 And how many people do we have with us on this trip? 02:56 - There's 20 of us total. 02:58 - Yeah. - Plus the locals, 03:00 the Tenkano family 03:01 which is helping us. - Yeah. 03:03 So we have some testimonies of the people that came with us- 03:05 - Right. - About what they 03:07 first thought of when they heard about this idea. 03:09 - Right. 03:10 - My first thought was, 03:12 "why go all the way over there 03:14 to pray when we can pray here at home?" 03:17 - Well, my first reaction was, "what? 03:21 Go where and do what?" 03:23 You know, pray as you're walking down the street? 03:26 - I wasn't quite sure what to think about it. 03:28 It was something really new to me. 03:31 - I thought it would be an effective form of mission, 03:33 but different than anything we had been on before. 03:37 - My first impression would've been like, 03:40 that's a little unusual, 03:41 but I would like to try it. 03:43 - Seeing how God has used it before. 03:48 To me, the concept sounded really exciting. 03:52 - So you can see how people kind of like, "what?" 03:54 - Yeah, some people are like, 03:56 "well, that sounds weird. 03:58 That sounds exciting. 03:59 Maybe, maybe not." 04:00 - I think people don't really realize the power of prayer. 04:07 - Right. - And the fact that there's 04:08 so many places on this earth in which nothing is being done. 04:12 - Right. 04:13 - And that's what keeps bothering me, 04:14 is there's so many places where nothing's being done. 04:17 And the truth is, 04:18 nothing's being planned to be done. 04:21 - Right, and we don't know what to do. 04:22 I mean, and there's no locals, 04:24 so who's gonna do anything anyway? 04:26 - Exactly. 04:27 - So it's like to ask God what he wants to have happen, 04:30 to give him charge of it, 04:32 to ask his spirit to be there, 04:34 to ask him to bless the people, the... 04:37 Oh, I'm getting, I'm getting ahead of ourselves. 04:40 - You're getting passionate about this. 04:42 - We wanna introduce the people that are here. 04:43 - Yeah. - So we have a short video 04:45 of everybody just saying hello. 04:47 - Okay. - So we'll play that 04:48 at this time. - Okay. 04:51 (upbeat music) 04:56 - I love Indonesia. - I love Indonesia. 04:59 - It's amazing 05:00 that we have all these people that decided 05:02 to come on this trip and- 05:03 - Right. - Do something new. 05:05 - Right, and one of them 05:06 didn't even know that she'd expressed interest. 05:08 It was very interesting story. 05:10 So this is Joanne's story. - Okay. 05:15 (mellow music) 05:17 - So I received the newsletter from Jesus for Asia, 05:20 and I get a phone call three to four days later, 05:24 which she stated was that, 05:26 I guess I had applied and she was returning my request 05:31 for information for Indonesia. 05:35 And I stopped for a minute. 05:36 I said, "Indonesia?" 05:38 I never requested. 05:39 I said, "why did they call me?" 05:42 Well, I was gonna prove them wrong. 05:45 And so I said, if there's proof, 05:48 then it has to be in my inbox. 05:50 So I went to my inbox, my sent email, 05:53 to see if I actually had done that. 05:55 And sure enough, it was there. 05:57 So at that point, what I said was, 06:00 "I think God had something to do with this." 06:03 (mellow piano music) 06:05 Now I have to start making a decision. 06:07 And I felt like everything I was reading, 06:10 the Lord was letting me know 06:12 that he wanted me to go on this trip. 06:14 I finally purchased a ticket, 06:16 but I was trying to bring every excuse that I could think of 06:19 and conjure up to God and say no. 06:21 I was just like, "no, I can't go." 06:23 I mean, "oh, my mother. 06:25 Oh me, oh..." 06:26 I mean, every excuse that you could think of. 06:30 After that, 06:31 as I was reading a devotional, 06:33 I said, "wow, everything is there." 06:35 And the answer was, "go forward." 06:37 And at that point, 06:39 I had peace about the whole trip. 06:41 (mellow piano music) 06:48 - So she registered without even knowing it. 06:50 - Right, right. - I mean, the Holy Spirit 06:52 pushed the send button or- 06:53 - Yeah. 06:55 I mean, you had to click on the thing that said, 06:56 "I want to express interest." 06:58 And then hit the send button. 07:00 So there's two... 07:01 At least two clicks there. 07:02 - So she came and she's been enjoying it a lot, I think. 07:04 - Right. 07:05 So in this next little video, 07:07 we asked the team, 07:08 what did you expect and what has it been like? 07:10 - Yeah. 07:11 - And here are their answers. 07:12 - Okay. 07:14 (upbeat music) 07:19 - I envisioned walking down a very busy city street 07:22 filled with a lot of Muslims in front of me and behind me. 07:25 And I didn't actually visualize 07:27 a lot of personal interaction with people, 07:29 just that we're gonna be walking by and praying 07:31 for the people as we're walking by. 07:33 - I did picture like a clear street, you know, 07:37 and everything was gonna be just flowing really nice. 07:41 But here there's a lot of traffic 07:43 and it's a lot different than I expected. 07:46 - It became very personal 07:48 and I found the people were very friendly, 07:50 just so friendly, 07:52 so willing to even come up and talk. 07:54 And it was easy to wave and say hi 07:56 and have interactions with them. 07:58 So much different than what I expected. 08:01 (upbeat music) 08:07 - There was one lady that started calling out to us 08:10 as we were passing by, 08:11 and we stepped back a little 08:13 to see if she was talking to us. 08:16 And she was. 08:17 She was talking to us 08:18 and she wanted to talk a little more with us. 08:20 And that was really exciting. 08:22 That's the joy that you don't experience when you just... 08:25 You're, you know, 08:26 praying at home. - Yeah. 08:27 - You know, you can look at a picture of the ocean 08:30 or you can stand at the beach and feel the waves. 08:32 So it's physical, it's tangible. 08:34 You saw the people smile, 08:36 they shared their shelter when it was raining. 08:38 - You have a greater burden for the people 08:40 having seen them face to face, 08:42 having interacted 08:43 and a greater understanding of the need here also. 08:47 - When we go out and personally walk the streets 08:51 and can see there's a small group of young people 08:53 playing a guitar on the beach, 08:55 we could go talk to them. 08:57 And in our minds, 08:58 pray for them while we were talking to them. 09:01 - When you're out there actually walking and talking, 09:04 shaking hands with the people, introducing yourself, 09:06 just feeling the rain pouring down on your head, 09:09 all of the things happening, 09:10 you have this very strong memory. 09:12 And it's not something that's just gonna go away 09:14 the moment I get home. 09:16 It's gonna be there from day to day 09:17 to remind me to keep praying. 09:19 - We've taken a lot of pictures of a lot of the people. 09:22 And so we can take those pictures home with us 09:25 and we can continue praying for those people. 09:28 (upbeat music) 09:34 - Definitely we sense the Holy Spirit working. 09:37 There's no doubt in my mind. 09:39 - We're claiming promises and God is acting on his word. 09:43 And we have found the people to be incredibly friendly, 09:46 incredibly open. 09:48 And I think that has a lot to do 09:50 with the praying that we're doing. 09:52 We have little, little kids up to older people 09:56 who are just smiling and waving, 09:58 so excited to see us. 10:00 And I think that's the evidence of the Holy Spirit 10:04 working ahead. 10:05 I think the Holy Spirit preceded us 10:08 and is allowed to pour himself out more 10:10 because of our prayers. 10:12 (mellow piano music) 10:18 - Some of the things that I've been praying for 10:20 is for people to be open to the Holy Spirit's leading 10:23 in their lives. 10:24 For God to work in the people's lives in such a way 10:27 that they can look back someday 10:30 and say, "oh, this is God working in my life. 10:32 Like he was there with me the whole time." 10:35 - So I've prayed for angels to surround this place 10:40 and certain people, 10:41 and that God will push back the forces of darkness 10:44 that are keeping them from hearing about him. 10:48 - What I'm praying for is the blinders to be taken off, 10:52 light of God's love to shine 10:54 and for the search for truth. 10:58 Because when people search for the truth, 11:01 they will find Jesus. 11:03 Because he is the truth. 11:04 And Jesus says that 11:06 you will find me if you're searching for me 11:09 with all your heart. 11:10 - We've been down to a nearby beach 11:12 where there are many fishing boats, 11:14 and seeing anywhere from six to 10 people pulling in a net, 11:20 I'm reminded right away of Jesus 11:22 and calling the disciples, Peter, James and John, 11:26 and saying, "Lord, these are fishermen. 11:28 But you have called fishermen before who became apostles, 11:32 and I pray that you intercede on their behalf, 11:36 that you'll call 'em to fish for more than just fish." 11:39 (mellow piano music) 11:42 - You pray for someone else, 11:44 it's almost like gives God access, 11:47 more access to that individual. 11:50 - There's not a lot of begging, 11:51 there's not a lot of, 11:53 "oh God, please," 11:55 twisting his arm. 11:56 It's what he wants to do. 12:00 (mellow piano music) 12:20 - So you can see how this is affecting 12:22 the people that are doing the praying. 12:24 - Right, right. - And as they're 12:25 walking through the city, the town, and meeting people, 12:30 it's changing their prayer heart, 12:33 their heart for prayer, their prayer... 12:34 Their prayers are changing. 12:36 - Right. - It's changing them. 12:37 - Right. 12:38 You know, when we started, 12:39 when we first got here and we started, 12:42 we started out with a lot of Bible study. 12:44 We studied about faith, we studied about prayer. 12:47 and we started practicing claiming promises 12:50 like we talk about in one of the videos, 12:53 and just thinking about the realities, 12:55 the eternal realities, 12:57 the spiritual realities of what's happening here- 12:59 - Yeah. - You know, 13:00 thinking about the fact that 13:02 the forces of evil are pushed back 13:04 when God is invited to a place. 13:06 - Exactly. - When his people, 13:07 his representatives are in that place- 13:09 - Yes. - It's just powerful, 13:11 you know. 13:12 And it's been really neat to watch the group grow. 13:15 - Yeah. - As some of them, 13:16 I think, were... 13:18 Yeah, pretty skeptical when they first came. 13:20 You know, it's like, "okay, we're gonna pray." 13:21 - Right. - You know, 13:23 how are we gonna pray day after day for these people? 13:26 But they've seen as they've done the walks 13:29 and they've, you know, 13:30 experienced the prayer walk day after day. 13:33 They've met people, 13:34 they've seen how they live a little bit, 13:36 you know, little glimpses into people's lives. 13:39 Been invited in and taken care of during the rain 13:42 like we were. 13:43 We were invited into this porch area. 13:46 And it's just been neat to see people grow- 13:49 - Yes. - On this trip 13:50 in the love for the people, 13:51 the interest in the people's lives. 13:53 And this we wouldn't have had if we had stayed home. 13:56 And many of them have expressed that far better than I am. 13:59 But it just keeps bringing it to mind that 14:03 we would not have had these experiences had we just said, 14:06 "okay, it's too expensive. 14:07 We're gonna stay here and pray." 14:09 - Right. - You know. 14:10 - And that's the question. 14:11 If you say, "okay, it's too expensive to go overseas, 14:13 we're just gonna pray here." 14:15 What's the likelihood of anybody actually praying- 14:19 - Right. - For that city 14:23 staying home. - Right. 14:24 - [John] The likelihood is very, very small. 14:26 - Right. - You might spend 14:27 maybe five minutes, 10 minutes praying, 14:30 but then the next day you might forget about 'em. 14:32 Or if you have a list, 14:34 you might be able to pray for them once every day, 14:36 but for several hours praying 14:38 and then going out and meeting the people. 14:40 You know, the meeting the people, 14:42 that's the beautiful thing about it is that 14:44 when we did the... 14:46 Like one or two or three hours of prayer with people, 14:47 originally, they're like, 14:49 "oh, that's a long time in prayer." 14:50 But after you do that several times, 14:53 they're like, "oh, do we have to quit?" 14:55 - Right. - Do we have to end? 14:57 And then what's so beautiful is that 14:59 when you do a prayer walk and you go out 15:01 and it's not just, you know, 15:03 you can't stop and do this and pray, you know. 15:07 You keep walking and you pray in your heart. 15:09 You pray in your mind. 15:11 Sometimes you have a chance to pray under your breath 15:13 and speak the words that claim the promises. 15:16 Then you go up and meet somebody 15:17 and they're friendly and they smile and all of us... 15:20 And they tell you their name. 15:22 All of a sudden you're not no longer praying for Lord, 15:24 be with the, you know, 15:27 people that don't know you across the ocean. 15:29 - Right. - It's like, 15:30 Lord, be with Kumar, be with my friend. 15:34 You know, and the burden comes on your heart- 15:37 - Right. - To pray, 15:39 which is what we're called to do. 15:41 We're called to be a nation of priests, 15:43 a royal priesthood, 15:45 and priests bear the names of the people on their hearts 15:49 before God... 15:50 To God. 15:52 And so this starts to happen. 15:53 And so throughout the week we've been seeing 15:56 people more getting into it 15:58 and they're like moving farther than what we would do. 16:03 You know, 16:04 they're going into places and meeting people 16:05 and doing things that I... 16:09 I mean, they're... 16:11 I'm so excited because it's like, 16:13 it's beyond what... 16:15 Just me coming by myself or the two of us coming 16:18 would be able to do in the Lord. 16:21 - Right, and someone was sharing just this morning 16:23 at breakfast that 16:24 they were able to pray for someone. 16:26 And while they were there interacting with the family, 16:30 the person started feeling better. 16:32 They were sick. 16:33 - Yeah. - And they started... 16:34 They'd been sick for a week 16:36 and they started feeling better 16:37 as they were just there 16:39 interacting and having conversation with the family. 16:41 So it's just a huge blessing to see what God is doing. 16:45 And as part of what God is doing, 16:48 he's moved upon the hearts of some people to stay here. 16:51 - Yes, we have from almost no Adventist 16:57 to now we have a couple that's the beachhead 17:01 for the Holy Spirit to start doing a work 17:05 that is going to bring huge results in the future. 17:08 - Right. 17:09 So let's meet them now. - Okay. 17:14 (upbeat music) 17:18 - [Joe] I actually started in Idaho at Faith Camp. 17:22 At that time, 17:23 I felt that this was the place that God wanted us. 17:26 And so once we were here for a couple of days, 17:29 we saw that, 17:31 "hey, this is the place that God wanted us to be." 17:34 - Mm hmm. 17:35 I had been praying that God would show us 17:37 where he wanted us to be, 17:39 and I just asked the Lord to kind of show us 17:44 by people's reactions 17:46 or, you know, that there would be kind of 17:50 an encouragement for us to stay there. 17:53 And when we passed by that veterinarian's place, 17:59 they were like, 18:00 "oh, you know, there's a lot of foreigners that live here." 18:03 - [Joe] It's like they wanted us to be here. 18:07 You know, not just visiting as a tourist, 18:10 but they actually wanted us to be here. 18:12 - So I felt like God was speaking 18:16 through those people, 18:17 kind of encouraged us to stick around, 18:20 get to know everybody, or who we can, you know. 18:24 (upbeat music) 18:27 - I think I need to just relax, not be pushy, 18:34 but to get to know the people, 18:36 get to know how they think, 18:39 why they do certain things. 18:42 Make friends and this way let them ask me, ask us, 18:50 why are you here? 18:51 What is your religion? 18:53 If it is God's will that something happens 18:56 and it blossoms, well that's fine, that's great. 18:59 But I think we need to mingle like Jesus did 19:04 amongst the people 19:06 and let the Holy Spirit work in them 19:09 by what they see in us. 19:12 (upbeat music) 19:16 - I think prayer is so important in all of this 19:19 and our time we spend with the Lord 19:21 and how he can open the doors. 19:23 He's the one that opens doors. 19:25 - I love the people here. 19:27 Just these three days or so that we've been here, 19:30 I've already grown to love them 19:34 and wanna go out and just meet them. 19:37 (upbeat music) 19:48 - I mean, I did not expect for somebody to stay here. 19:52 I thought we would do our trip 19:53 and then we go home 19:54 and then the Lord would call somebody. 19:56 But when Joe sat down and says, 20:00 "I think we're gonna have to abort the trip." 20:02 I thought, "uh oh, what's wrong? 20:04 He doesn't like something?" 20:05 He's like, yeah- - We go back home now? 20:08 - "We're just gonna stay. " 20:09 - Right. - "We're gonna not finish 20:12 'cause we're going to a couple other places." 20:14 And he says, "we're just gonna stay here." 20:16 And I'm like, 20:17 "praise God." - Yeah. 20:18 - And that's the couple I see so much God working through, 20:23 having conversations and the healing that you mentioned. 20:26 - Yeah. 20:27 - Is that couple. - Yeah. 20:28 - And so God's already answering our prayers 20:32 kind of before we even ask. 20:34 - [Natalie] Right. 20:36 It's also neat to see how others are seeing 20:39 God changing their perspective 20:40 and changing their life based on this trip. 20:43 And we've asked them some questions about that. 20:47 How do you see your life changing? 20:49 That kind of thing. 20:50 So we wanna watch that video now. 20:52 - [John] Okay. 20:53 (upbeat music) 20:59 - Susan and I believe Jesus is coming very soon, 21:03 we've got to do things differently 21:05 than we've done in the past. 21:08 And the power of prayer can unlock doors 21:14 that will help to hasten the coming of Christ. 21:17 (upbeat music) 21:22 - I thought that we were coming over here to, 21:25 you know, to help and to bless 21:26 and to work for the Lord and 21:28 as I look back on the experience so far, 21:30 I really believe that part of my being here 21:33 is not just for the Muslim people, but for me. 21:36 - I can be a little bit closed off sometimes. 21:38 And I think that this is showing me that 21:43 it actually can be a really positive thing. 21:46 And not just here, but wherever I'm at. 21:47 To be more open and be more friendly with people 21:50 and to really seek to see people as people 21:53 and to pray for them. 21:54 - It's been really good. 21:56 It's like every day over and over and over, 21:58 we pray as a group. 21:59 We practice praying promises out of the Bible, 22:02 then we go out and we walk 22:03 and we practice, we practice and practice and practice. 22:05 And so that should... 22:07 I am praying that that sticks with me much more. 22:09 And I'm sure it will because 22:11 it's like in there learning it 22:13 and growing with that experience, I guess. 22:15 - The prayer time together with this team 22:18 and a lot of very spiritual discussion 22:21 has been a huge blessing to me 22:23 and I feel like I'm gonna be taking back with me 22:25 how to pray more intentionally 22:27 just walking down the street at home. 22:29 Which I would not have really thought of in the same way. 22:33 (upbeat music) 22:36 - [Speaker] I was coming from the position of, 22:38 "oh, it's great to do this here, 22:40 but there's no way we can do it this way in America." 22:43 You're not gonna walk up and down the streets 22:44 and go, "hello, hello" 22:46 and have people respond that way. 22:48 But after our conversation, it's like no. 22:51 If we are intentional about reaching out to people 22:56 and we come with, you know, holy Spirit joy, 23:00 we will get responses as well. 23:02 And I hadn't thought about it as 23:06 something that I could do back in the United States. 23:10 And so I think it will have an impact 23:14 on how I live day to day and what I do. 23:17 I have learned... 23:18 Personally learned a lot on this trip. 23:21 - It's actually shown me more of me 23:25 and more of a need to love those that don't know the word. 23:31 So I think that it's doing more of a work on me 23:34 than me praying for them. 23:36 So it's actually a good thing, 23:38 a great thing actually. 23:41 (upbeat music) 23:42 - One of the things that I've learned on this trip 23:46 is that I'm a very arrogant western Christian 23:51 that doesn't really love people 23:58 to the extent that I would like to 24:00 or that I thought I had. 24:03 And I cannot come in with my way of thinking 24:07 and make a difference. 24:08 I need to learn to adapt. 24:10 And then you think, "how can I adapt?" 24:14 'Cause this is the right way to do it. 24:16 This is what I was taught. 24:17 It's like doesn't make it holy. 24:21 And so there's a lot of layers that I need to pray through 24:25 and work through because 24:28 I would not be able to just drop in now and minister here. 24:34 I could not do that 24:35 because I have way too much to unlearn 24:37 in order to be useful. 24:38 You don't get that revelation of yourself 24:43 without stepping foot on the ground where 24:47 outside of your own culture. 24:50 (inspirational music) 24:55 - God said that there would be people 24:56 from every kindred, nation, tongue and people 24:59 in his kingdom 25:00 and so I really believe that there will be 25:04 a result in heaven that we may not see here. 25:07 We may not be privileged to see that on this earth. 25:10 - I'm hoping that it will enable God 25:13 and the angels and the Holy Spirit 25:14 to have a little bit more authority to invade this place. 25:20 - I envision that he has sent 1000s of angels here, 25:24 maybe more, maybe millions, I don't know, 25:27 because of the prayers 25:28 that we've been making for these people. 25:30 - I think that praying those prayers 25:33 that Satan would be cast away from this city 25:37 while we were here, 25:39 and that there'd be opportunity for us to claim promises 25:44 where the Holy Spirit could minister, 25:46 angels could come and provide an environment 25:50 where the prayers would be more effective 25:52 than if we had not been here. 25:55 I know God uses that. 25:56 I know there are going to be results. 25:59 - When people become extra friendly, 26:02 I believe the spirit is working 26:05 and they're telling these people in their minds, 26:07 these people are different. 26:10 You know, we can invite them. 26:11 They're safe. 26:13 (upbeat music) 26:16 - So what I expect is that there's going to be 26:19 an entire section of heaven. 26:23 And what will be so exciting for me 26:26 is when we're up there 26:27 and the angel... 26:29 Angels bring hordes of people over 26:34 and we'll tell the hoards of people, 26:36 these are the ones who prayed for you. 26:39 It started with them because they came 26:41 and then we'll look at the the hordes and go, 26:43 "wow, all of this happened because we prayed." 26:47 And then we'll get to have fun for eternity. 26:51 (upbeat piano music) 26:59 - So the best part is that you can pray from home. 27:02 - Yes. 27:03 - Even though it's 27:04 a lot more embedding sometimes to actually go there. 27:07 I mean, most of the time you're gonna... 27:09 It's gonna be more real to you if you go there. 27:13 But it's just really neat that you can pray from anywhere. 27:16 - Sure. - Our prayers affect 27:17 places anywhere around the world. 27:19 So if we know a missionary, 27:21 we can pray for them. 27:22 If we want to look at Tokyo, you know, with Google now, 27:25 you can walk the streets virtually. 27:28 - Yes. - And you can see buildings 27:30 and you can sometimes even see people. 27:32 - Yes. - So people can pray 27:34 from anywhere and God is willing to answer our prayers 27:37 from anywhere, for anywhere. 27:39 - That's right. - God is awesome. 27:40 - All the time. 27:42 - So if you are interested in learning more about prayer, 27:45 about faith, about prayer walking, 27:48 please contact us at Jesus for Asia, PO Box 1221, 27:52 Collegedale, Tennessee, 37315. 27:56 Call us at (423) 413-7321 28:00 or visit our website at jesusforasia.org. 28:04 May God richly bless you, 28:05 until we see you next time on "Jesus for Asia Now." 28:09 (inspirational music) |
