Not as camera action. Myanmar has been a country for thousands of years. It has been a Buddhist country for at least 2,500 years. Buddhism is not as much their religion as it is their culture. And it's the way they think. It's the way they live. When I first went to Burma, I didn't know why God had sent me there. I went in total obedience to God. God began to put His love for the Myanmar peoples in me. That changed my life. It changed my heart and my ministry. Buddhism is a works religion just like any other religion of the world. And the people are staunch in their belief that they have to work their way to a better life. Of course, Buddhism believes in reincarnation. They don't know that there's a God. They don't know that there's a heaven. They certainly don't know that there is a hell. They understand sin. And they understand that sin is bad. But they don't understand that there is a savior. They don't understand that that savior died to pay for their sin and that he loves them. Since 1962, Myanmar has been a military dictatorship until about eight years ago when Aung San Suu Kyi's National League for Democracy took control of the country through a general election. Now the country has been thrown back into a military dictatorship. It was a military coup. So the country has suffered many abuses by that military government in the last two years. The whole world is concerned that Myanmar gets representative government. But what they really need is Jesus Christ and the gospel of forgiveness and eternal life. And in our judgment, went to Myanmar, old Burma, in 1812 by 1824 in the middle of the First Anglo-Burman War. The king jailed Judson and tortured him in the death prison. And yet, with the help of his wife, giving him food through the window, even when he was fettered upside down, He somehow was able to translate much of the Bible into the Burmese language. Myanmar is very strategically located. physically bordered by five countries and surrounded by 12. Myanmar, I believe, could be and can be the hub of the wheel spiritually in Southeast Asia. We want to train an army of preachers and young people to go not only across Myanmar but out the spokes of the wheel to the surrounding people groups, plant churches and win souls. The people of Myanmar go to the temples every day, they light candles, they pour water over a statue's head to wash away their sins, but they have no hope. It's a worse religion just like any other religion of the world, but they don't know that there is a living Savior. And when they find out that Jesus not only saves, but He's alive, it's a wonderful thing to see the look on their faces, the joy in their hearts. Several years ago, I wrote a track just for Burma, based on the testimony of one of our converted Buddhist monks. And we published 40,000, and they were gone overnight. With the help of Bible Tracks Incorporated, we redesigned that track into a 16-page, full-color, glossy booklet and raised the money to print 4 million of these in Myanmar. We're printing them in Yangon. And our preachers, young people, pastors from all over the country are passing these out, distributing them all over the country. Our preachers say that within the next year or two, that these books will literally be all over the country and oozing out the borders into other countries and reaching other people groups. We gave the booklet to a monk, an old man, who had spent his whole life, 84 years, he spent serving the temple in a Yahweh division. And when he received the booklet, he read about Jesus Christ, the living Savior, the light and the hope of the world. And he believed immediately. And he said, Why didn't someone tell me about Jesus before now? He said, I spent my entire life serving a dead statue in a temple where there was no hope. He said, now my life is over. I said, no, it is just beginning. Now that same monk is taking fistfuls, arm loads of our gospel booklet going through his community. He can't hardly walk, but he is hollering to the neighbors' houses and the different businesses and telling them, read this book. This is the truth, and this is about a Savior who loves you and gave his life for you. GLBM has two American families on the ground in Myanmar. Brother Judson and his wife, Ruth, and their children are American citizens, but they're from Myanmar. They came to America as refugees, and then returned to their country to reach their own people with the gospel. Tim and Athanasia Davis and their children were the first residential missionaries from America in Old Burma since 1962. They were there in the city of Momian and Mon State working with the Judsons are building a great church and winning lots and lots of people in Christ. We have a lot of preachers in Myanmar. Some that were there preaching gospel before we ever set foot there in that country. And they were paying a price long before we got there. Pastor Tong Lien, After graduating from Manila Bible College, he came back knowing that he would be persecuted. He planted the Bethany Baptist Church. And every week, he and his converts were being stoned. He's been beaten with steel rods, jailed many times, beaten bloody for the gospel sake. And yet he now has one of the strongest ministries in all of Myanmar. In the last 15 years, we have helped to plant dozens of new churches inside. We have smuggled bibles into the country. We have distributed the word of God. We have taken care of many orphans, hundreds of orphans. The vision that I believe God gave to me is to plant 700 churches or 50 churches in each of the 14 provinces And to train an army of young people and preachers to go not only across the country, but out to spokes for the wheel to the surrounding people groups. That's already happening. And we're going to do more of it. And the Bible is the answer. We go there with the message of hope. We go there with the message of eternal life. We go there with the message of forgiveness. We go there with the message that Jesus saves and that he loves them and that they can have eternal life. That all they need is Jesus Christ to save the world. ♪ Thank you, Lord, for living my soul ♪ ♪ Thank you, Lord, for making me whole ♪ ♪ Thank you, Lord, for giving to me ♪ ♪ Thy grace, salvation so instantly ♪ Now let me show you what's going on in Kenya. Hold on to your hats, folks. Everything on this video I took with my phone. Everything. This is not in a park. This is in a village. She was a little angry that I was that close. On June 12, Evangelist Boyd Collins and I traveled from Washington, D.C. to Doha, Qatar, and finally to Kenya, Africa, and we met and witnessed the Kenyans before we ever got there. We hit the ground running, and after leaving the capital city of Nairobi and traveling across the country, the first thing we came to was the Great Rift Valley stretching 9,000 miles long and 57 miles wide. This is not Fred Flintstone and Barney Rubble, but Ajin Boyd with our host, Brother Samuel. Meet Pastor Samuel Yengueso and his wife, Mary. I want to welcome my brothers from the U.S. so that you can come and help us visit the hospital here. Kindly through Boyd, through Ajin, we welcome you, all our brothers. Come. Then arriving in the western Kenyan county of Nyamira, we found a beautiful and fertile mountainous region covered with vast fields and hillsides of brightly colored tea. Kenyan people are some of the most gracious, hospitable, loving people I believe I've ever come in contact with. Everywhere we went, whether it's in churches or the homes, villages, especially a lot of the villages, they were telling us that we were some of the first white men, the lone missionaries, that had ever been there. Then there was the kids. Some were, uh, standoffish at first. But because they never had seen a white person. A little boy in the village we went to screamed and clung to his mother. He even ran into the house and hid from us. But you know, they soon learned that we loved them. Yes, they did, and they responded to that love. Then we began to go door to door. Just like in America, door to door, soul winning, evangelism in different neighborhoods, preaching the gospel everywhere. We saw many come to Christ. Oh yes we did. Many were saved in their homes and some got right with God. Confessing and repenting of their sins openly. Yes, in front of everyone. When we visited this young mother in her own home, that I will go to hell. I said, please don't do that. And she turned to Christ with tears of repentance. She received Jesus as her Savior, and she was so glad. We preached a lot. Yes, every day, more than several times a day. We preached in the fields, houses, sometimes on the street. Preached in the churches. And we preached in brand new church plants. These are some of the men who invited us to come. They are Pentecostal preachers who want to follow us and be a part of GLBM and learn the historic Baptist faith. So much so that they left their existing churches and started new churches in anticipation of us coming. They have accepted Baptist doctrine like eternal security, priesthood of the believer, autonomy of the local church, believer's baptism. No tongues in premillennial, pre-tribulation, rapture of the church. And they accepted the King James Authorized Bible as a preserved word of God in the English language. There was a moment when the lights came on and they realized the difference between their Bible and ours. And said, well said. I don't have a Bible. Our people don't have a Bible. We don't have Bibles. We need Bibles. So our home church, Mount Stake Baptist Church, immediately raised the money and sent King James Study Bibles for all the preachers. Now we have to send Bibles for the people. I love you so much. God has given us an unprecedented opportunity to reach not only souls in Kenya, but we have contacts and preachers who want us to come and help them in neighboring Uganda and Tanzania. God has a plan, and only he knows what can be accomplished on the African continent through prayer, through obedience, the power of the word of God, and a people who are willing to give. Please join GLBM as God extends our reach from the hub of the wheel to another people where we are convinced that God wants to do a big thing. I can show you, thinking about back in Myanmar, I can show you a picture of a monk. I will, if you come to me afterwards, I'll show you on my phone a picture of a Buddhist monk. We gave a copy of that booklet to him in March of this year. Then in September, how many months is that? March to April, May, June, July, August, six months. Six months later, he came to one of our pastors and he said, I can't get over that booklet. He said, he said, I want to become a Christian. And so, he not only talked about So he, and he was a little younger monk, but he'd been a monk for 28 years. And so God is certainly doing a wonderful thing in both of these countries. I've only been to Kenya one time. That was last June. And then in last month, Boyd Collis and his wife returned. That was Boyd Collis you saw in the video. And he and his wife went back to Kenya for two weeks and just did studies. And they did doctrinal studies with all these preachers. So they had the 40 Pentecostal Charismatic Church of God pastors. that want to follow us and have joined with us in GLBM, but then they had a dozen Church Assembly of God elders that also came, and they said, we've never heard these things before. We've never heard about eternal security. And you know, Peter said, we are kept, kept by the power of God. And some of our friends that are meeting in a doctrine or some of the church of God, the Pentecostals and so forth, they say, they call it the damnable doctrine of the Baptists. That we know we're saved and we know that we can't lose it and we know we have everlasting life. Apostle John said, these things have been written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God, that you may know that you have eternal life. He that hath the Son hath everlasting life, and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life, but the wrath of God abiding from Him. And you go over here to John chapter three, and the last verse says, He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life. He that believeth not the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God abideth on him, and on and on and on. And so these men have not only accepted that, they've accepted not just the doctrine of eternal security, they've accepted the doctrine of priesthood of the believer, that we don't need a priest. We have been made priests and kings. We can go to God directly according to the scriptures. Sure, we have a pastor, but you and I have direct access to our Savior. Amen? And so we don't need a priest. We have direct access to God, and we can come boldly unto the throne of grace, the Bible says. Boldly unto the throne of grace. And so forth and so on. You can give all kinds of verses, but these men have accepted all the Baptist distinctive. They've learned about the trail of blood, Baptist history of the church, how the Baptist have existed from the time of Christ forward. And they are starting new churches. Now we just, so we've got the 40 plus the dozen, some of you got elders that came. And then we had five pastors from Uganda that traveled five hours from Uganda over some of the roughest roads on the planet to get to our doctoral study last month in Kenya. And then we had several from Tanzania in the Swahili, they say Tanzania. And so this thing is growing. It's becoming a movement over there. I had to register GLBM slash or GLBM dash Kenya with the government because of the abuses of many clergy who have used their churches as fronts for illegal activity there in the country of Kenya. So they've made new legislation over there. So we had this, I had spent $3,000 for the lawyer to get registered in the country. And that that helps us with our visas, with shipping of Bibles and things. And it also helps us, if we want to be, we can be dual citizens, both of the United States and Kenya. And so that'll help our missionaries as we send them over to Kenya. In the future, we're in Western Kenya. Many of the villages have never seen a foreigner or American. There's a lot of missionaries in Kenya, but they're all over in the East, in Nairobi and Mombasa. where all the Muslims are. And so we have a great, great, great, great opportunity in Kenya. And I fought God on this thing for two years because I didn't want to go to Kenya. And I told Him, when I got there, I said, I'm sorry, but I didn't want to come here. God made me come here. But you know what? Now God is, as God put His love for the Burmese people in me, now God is putting His love for the Kenyans Praise the Lord. And these are some of the most warm, friendly, loving people that we've ever met. And thank God for that. Why don't you take your Bibles and turn to Jude. Jude, if you have your Bible tonight, Jude, just a couple of verses, we're going to go to the house or go back to the dessert table. And the little book of Jude, just before the book of Revelation, And Jude is only one chapter, of course. Jude, and beginning with verse 20, the Apostle Jude says this, but ye beloved, building up yourselves on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Ghost, keep yourselves in the love of God. looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life. And some have compassion on them and make a difference. And others, well, they save in a totally different way. They save with fear. I don't always preach about hell, but it's real. And we need to. And there is a literal heaven According to the Bible, the Holy Scriptures, there is a literal hell. God did not create hell for us. He created hell for the devil and angels, but we're accountable to God. And we will spend eternity somewhere, because we have a never-dying soul. A never-dying soul. Our soul will never die. We are going to spend eternity someplace. So some save through compassion, and some save through fear. pulling them out of the fire, verse 23, hating even the garments spotted by the flesh. You know, it's an amazing thing that those people who have the roughest background sometimes have the most powerful Christian lives. Because they remember what it was like. And those of you, those of us, you and me, who were raised in a Christian, Christian home, and we have been raised with morality, and we've been, you know, we are, We come from noble families, if you will. We don't appreciate our salvation as much as somebody that came out of the drug world. But thank God, he saves all kinds of people. God so loved the world, and whosoever believeth on him should not. And the Bible says, for by grace are you saved through faith and that not of yourselves. It is the gift of God. Not a works list any man should boast. You can't work your way to heaven. You can't do anything for it. It doesn't matter how many times you get baptized. Doesn't matter how much you give to the church. Doesn't matter how many times you read the Bible through. But we need Jesus. And he's the only answer. And so then it says this. Now unto him that is able to keep you from falling without sin before the presence of his glory with exceeding joy to the only wise God our Savior be glory and majesty and dominion and power both now and forever amen the only wise God the word the word wise means that he's intelligent It means that he has a mind, it means that he's real, that he thinks he's a person like you and me, you know? And he's not a god of stone like the Buddhist worship. They kneel down, they light the candles, they pour the water, they pray all day and all night, they do pilgrimages on their knees for miles and miles and miles, and it's all works. But what did Paul tell Titus? Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us. By His mercy, He saved it through the washing of regeneration and renewing of the Holy Ghost. And so that's what we preach in both of these countries and around the world and around America. And just on this last trip, the last five weeks that I've been going nonstop, missions conference after missions conference, we've had about 13 people saved in my meetings and a whole bunch of folks at the altar. getting right with God. And so thank God for all of those things. Take your Bibles and go over to the book of Acts in chapter 17. Acts chapter 17. I call to your attention again that thought in Jude that we just read while you're going to Acts. Remember, it says, some of some have compassion making a difference and others saved with fear, but everybody needs to be saved. But in the book of Acts in chapter 17, Acts chapter 17 was one of my favorite verses, one of my favorite chapters in the Word of God when I was a young Christian. And I preached the message on the very last part of this chapter where it talks about Dionysius the Areopagite. He was an important man in Athens, Greece. He heard the gospel. And if anybody was not going to get saved, it was him because he was a man that was very proud. He was a man that didn't want to be shamed in front of anybody, you know? And so Paul was able to leave this man, Dionysius the Areopagite, to Christ along with a woman named Damaris and others. And so I preached about that when I was just a really young preacher and a young child of God, a young Christian. And so it's been years since I actually preached out of Acts chapter 17. But in Acts chapter 17, I see two groups of people in the very beginning of this. Paul the Apostle went and he went to first Thessalonians or to the village of Thessalonica and it says in verse 1, now when they had passed through Amphipolis and Apollonia, towns in Greece, they came to Thessalonica where it was the synagogue of the Jews. And Paul, as his manner was, went in unto them in three Sabbath days. In other words, for three weeks, or three Saturdays, the Sabbath, he reasoned with them out of the scriptures, out of the scriptures. give them philosophy. We do not give people in Burma or Kenya or anywhere else in America or any other place, I've preached in England and the Netherlands and a lot of, 13, 14 foreign countries, but we don't give them philosophy. We don't give these people our own ideas. We give them scripture. And so it says that as he was giving them scripture, verse three, opening, alleging, opening the scriptures and alleging that Christ must needs have suffered and risen again from the dead and that this Jesus whom I preach unto you is Christ. He is Christ. Now, why was that important? Because he went into the synagogues and the Jews were looking for a savior. They were looking for the Messiah, but they thought he was going to come as a conquering king. They thought he was going to take over, restore the kingdom, throw the Romans out and restore the kingdom to Israel. And because he went to the cross, because he shed his blood, because he was able to be killed, they thought he's not it. But Isaiah talks about that he would not come like that. You know, he was not going to be a Donald Trump. He was not going to be a Barack Obama. He was going to be a suffering Savior. He was going to bleed and die, and he was going to die a terrible death. Why? Not so he could become a hero, but so that he could pay for our sin. Because he was our lamb. The sacrifice for our sins. A spotless lamb. All through the Old Testament, you find out that God told the Israelites to offer a pure Why? Because it was a picture of what was coming in the New Testament. Jesus Christ would be the Lamb of God and He would shed His blood for us. All of us to pay for our sin because there's no other way. You can't work your way to heaven. You can't pay for your own sin. Doesn't matter how much good you do. Doesn't matter. And so it goes on. And some of them, verse 4, some of them believed. Some of them. Everybody's not going to believe this. People do choose to rebel against God and go to hell. They do. That's an awful thing, but they do. And some of them believed and consorted with Paul and Silas and the devout Greeks, a great multitude, and of the chief women, not a few. Now, verse five, but the Jews, which believed not, they moved with envy They took upon them certain lewd fellows of the baser sort, and gathered a company, and saw all the city on an uproar, and assaulted the house of Jason, who was keeping the disciples, and sought to bring them out to the people. And when they found them not, they drew Jason and certain brethren unto the rulers of the city, crying, these that have turned the world upside down are come here also. Sounds like a bunch of Democrats. in the scriptures. Sorry, but I just, yeah. So anyway, these that have come here, these that have turned the world upside down are come here also. That's an amazing thing. The world tells us that we're the ones who are turning this world upside down. Think about it. Our whole country has, for the last two, three, four years, been in total upheaval. Rioting in the streets, lawlessness, people being killed left and right. And they're blaming us. And we were the ones that want to be law-abiding. And it was no different in Paul's day. the same exact thing. And so when they got, when the apostles, when the disciples got to Thessalonica, at first they had freedom to preach and then came the opposition and then persecution. So then in verse 10, the brethren immediately sent away Paul and Silas by night unto Berea, a nearby city, who coming thither, or there, went into the synagogue of the Jews, again, just like Paul always did, he gave the Jews the first chance. And then verse 11 says, these were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness of mind and searched the scriptures daily, whether these things, those things were so. Therefore, many of them believed also of honorable women, many of them. So it says, these were more noble, more noble than those in Thessalonica. They received the word because they were more noble. What does the word noble mean? It doesn't mean that they were better. It doesn't mean that they were good in any way. It means that they were fair-minded. It means that they would think things through. They didn't have established prejudices like many people do. And we're all guilty of it. Not just the Muslims, not just Hamas, and not just the white against the black and the black against the white, but people are like this. It's human nature. But in the Bible here, we see that one group of people, one city, one community of people accepted the word of God, or I'm sorry, one did not accept the word of God, and they were totally opposed to it, and they drove Paul and Silas out of their city, and the other received them and listened to them and searched the scriptures to see if it was right or wrong. Now, if you're not saved tonight, I encourage you, and let God prove himself to you. I'm telling you tonight, it's not the Baptist way. It's not the Catholic way. It's not the Methodist way. It's the Bible way. It's the word of God. This is true. And the Bible says, let God be true and every man alive. And he'll prove himself to you. He'll prove himself as he has to me, as he has to many of us tonight. I have so many stories about people getting saved in old Burma and now in Kenya. So many experiences. Can I tell you the most wonderful life on planet Earth is serving God. The most wonderful life. And you don't need to be a preacher. You can be a plumber for God. You can be a computer tech. You can be a programmer. You can be a farmer. You can be a manure spreader. if you'll live for God while you're doing that. Somebody said, Brother Bob, you have a wonderful job. I said, I don't have a job. I have a life. True. You know, now I have in Bible college, seminary, I mopped a lot of floors, medical clinics. I vacuumed a lot of carpet. I washed a lot of cars, I hauled a lot of hay. I got 16 cents a bale out in Missouri when it was 102 degrees, 106 degrees in the shade and copperhead snakes coming out of the bales, you know, bumblebees that were stinging right through those heavy leather gloves. I know all about that stuff. You know, so I've always been a preacher, but I've always, since I was 13, when I was 13 years old, I heard the gospel. got convicted that I was a sinner in need of a savior. And I prayed and asked God to come to my heart and forgive me. And he came in, became my savior. And from 13 years on up, I haven't had a job, I've had a life. It's my life, serving the Lord. And so my life that the Lord gave me has taken me a lot of different places. Some places that people have readily accepted. And then there's been other places where they drove me off. And I've been driven off. I've been run away. I don't run very easy. Somebody said, Brother Bob, you're fearless. I said, I don't know about that. But I believe God. I believe God. So if God calls me to go to Africa, I know that God's going to, regardless of what happens, I'm supposed to be there. When I was arrested and jailed in Burma, and kept four days and four nights and interrogated night and day. They really thought I was an American spy, but when they found out I was a Baptist preacher, that was worse. Because they really believe that Christianity is subversive to their government and their culture. And their whole way of life is Buddhism. And the reason that the leaders of Burma don't want Christians coming in there and converting the Buddhists to Christianity is because they use the Buddhism to make lots and lots and lots and lots of money. It's all about money, folks. It's not about hearts. It's not about faith. It's not about goodness. So I come down here. I don't care if you pay me or not, but I'm telling you, and really, I didn't come here for anything for myself. It takes a lot of rice. to feed 400 orphans. It takes a lot of rice, money, if you will, to buy the eyeglasses and the shoes and the medicine and do the surgeries, like Al-Lin with that hammock, his eye in a hammock on his face, I told him about last night, and to finally convince him to have that eye cut out and buy him a glass eye and all that stuff. It takes a lot of money to buy properties and build church buildings and build school buildings. I have a Bible college in how long, 25 years? You know, I haven't raised any support. Have I lost support? Yeah, a little bit. But I haven't raised support for Bob and Carolyn DeWitt for all these years, 25 years at least. But yeah, does GLBM need help? Yeah. Right now I have, I need to build a building on a property. We just put a fence around in the shadow of three big monasteries in the village where there's never been a church. Never. There's never been a gospel witness there and Tazo and his people are there and they've been meeting in a home where they have had to meet in a different house every week for the last four years to keep from being stoned by the peace-loving Buddhists. You know? And so I bought them a property. I came home from one of my trips and I bought two 100 by 100 lots right on the main drag and location, location, location. So now we have a fence and a gate around the property and now we need to build a church building and I need about $20,000 to do that. And another guy needs a truck real bad so we can haul none of the orphans but his church members back and forth to hear the gospel preached every Sunday. I need about 10,000 for that and I need Jeepers we need about 10,000 for a vehicle in Kenya so we can stop running a car and go where we need to go from all these villages and cities where we can preach and because we don't have any transportation over there and I can keep going and going and going some of my preachers don't have any support and you know if I can get them $200 a month I You realize that a church can support a Burmese pastor for a couple hundred dollars a month, and where he and his family can serve the Lord, preach the gospel, build a church, change lives, and turn the country to Christ? That's a wonderful investment. And all of these things. But yeah, we've been to some places where the people have readily accepted us, and then we've been to some places where they did not. And oh, jeepers. What do I have time to tell you about tonight? I think the other night I told you about the red-skinned man, did I not, that came in his cart? No? I was with three of my young preacher boys in Burma and we're down in the valley in the And the mountains are high on all sides. This is like a bowl. And there's a village at about 6,000 feet. And we go up the Death Highway. And they call it the Death Highway because the drop-offs are ridiculous. You go around mountain ledges. Y'all don't have mountains. You've got little tiny hills here. I'm talking about 19,000 foot mountains, talking about the foothills of the, I mean, up there near Mount Everest, foothills of the Himalayas. And so we're going up the Death Highway and along this ledge, and if you get a tire off, you know, you could roll off the mountain, you know, it goes almost straight down, but you could, there's a little slant, so you could roll down the mountain for 2,000 feet before you'd ever hit a tree trunk that would slow you down. And you go around and there's a hairpin turn. There's a rock ledge here and a drop off here on this ledge. You go around, you honk your horn to keep because there may be a truck coming. And if he's coming too fast, you know, you're going to be history. And so we're going up and the preacher boys are in the back of the truck and I'm back there with them because I'm not going to let them ride. I'm not going to ride shotgun while my preacher boys are in the back. We're holding on, you know, and going around these hairpin turns and one of the boys is already puked off the back of the truck. And so we get up to this, and boy, yeah, and it was wind. So anyway, so now we get up to the village at 6,000 feet elevation. And we go into this lean-to kind of a building, but there's hundreds of people in there. It's just kind of a makeshift, piecemeal-together structure just to keep the rain away. And so we go in there and I preach, and we have, I don't know how many, maybe a hundred people that professed Christ, that turned to Christ. They'd never heard about Christ before. They'd never heard about Jesus, never heard about salvation, never seen the Bible. And so we went up, but somebody organized that whole thing because Baji Baba's coming. So I went up there and preached to 100 people who accepted Christ, and then I said, where are we going next? So we went up 2,000 more feet to the next village. Now we're at 8,000 feet. And we're up there in this village, and there's no paved roads. There's electric, but there's no Western toilets. Anybody know what I'm talking about? All right. They have, we call them squatty potty. Squatty potty. Who said that? You know what I'm talking about? Philippines. Philippines, yes. And so you've got a football-shaped and about football-sized hole, sometimes right on the ground in the dirt or sometimes on concrete. But I think you get the idea. So anyway. So we're in this village at 8,000 feet and I preach again. up there at 8,000 feet. It's really still hot. And the sweat is running down my chest inside my shirt. My forehead's all beaded up. I'm soaking wet to the shorts. And I'm just really tired. And the preacher boy said, we got a third village. I said, no way. I said, we got to go back now. Well, it took us eight hours from the valley to get up to the first village, and then another two hours to get to the second village. So now we're 10 hours from where I'm going to stay in this Burmese guest house. So they want me to go to another village that's also at 8,000 feet, but up over the rise and on the other side of the mountain. And I said, I just can't do it. And they finally persuaded me. They said, Dodger, many people wait. I said, all right, fine. So we travel another hour and a half. So now I'm 11 and a half hours from where I'm going to spend the night. And it's going to be pitch dark. There's no street lamps. There's no moon that night. And it's starting to rain. And we're going to go down on slick, you know, all the way down the mountain on these hairpin turns where you see yourself, greet yourself coming and going. And so we get over to the third village and we have a lot of people saying that I'm so happy God has given me a second wind. And I am, I'm just so thrilled. And I'm not only happy for the service, but I'm happy now we're going to go home. Because I'm tired, I'm spent, I'm bushed, I'm done. Stick a fork in me anywhere, you'll find that I'm done. And the preacher boys come to me and they say, Baji, we have one more guest. No, no, no, I'm not going. I'm not going. I am not going. And they said, Baji, we have to go. I said, it's already 7.30 at night. 7.30, it's gonna be tomorrow morning before we get back to our place. And they said, Baji, people wait all day. They wait all day. I said, it's too bad, we can't go. And they finally, they finally persuaded me. I said, okay, okay. Hobie, hobie, hobie, hobie. Okay, okay, okay, okay. And so we load up and now we're going to the other village and it's two hours away. We don't get there until 930, but everybody is there. It's 930 at night. And so I go inside. There's hundreds of people. And I was so thankful that I was there, but I'm really exhausted. And I'm hot and sticky. And I'm feeling a little sick now in my stomach because I'm so tired. And one of the young men with me, he comes through the crowd. And I mean, you've got to go sideways. People are shoulder to shoulder in there. And it's just a crowded, crowded, crowded room. And this young man comes to me, he says, Baji, man outside crying. What? He said, Baji, man outside crying. I said, I don't understand. He said, man outside on the street, he crying. I said, show me. So we, excuse me, excuse me, excuse me, we weave our way through all this crowd, tight crowd, and we finally get through the room and down the hallway and out on the street, and there's a man sitting on a cart. And this man has no shirt on, and he is sitting on his legs. And his legs are literally just skin on bone. There is no muscle. There is no tissue. It's just his legs are dead and they are folded underneath him. Someone has helped him get on that cart. His skin is reddish orange from the sun. His head is shaven. And he's sitting on this cart, it's a three-wheel cart, and he has this crank handle between his knees. And as he pulls back on the crank, the cart goes forward. And he pulls again, the cart goes forward. And he pulls again, the cart goes forward. And that's the way it is. He can't walk, he can't move. So he is just, he's in that part, and he has come, he has come for miles and miles, day and night, up mountain roads, dirt and gravel roads, up and down, up and down, and around the mountain, pulling that crank. Sleeping by the edge of the road, in the rain, And he's finally there, and I come out and I say, sir, why are you crying? He says, I am too late. I said, what? I don't understand. He says, I am too late. I'm too late. I'm too late. And he just wept in his hands. I said, too late for what? He said, I heard Bazzi Bob was here, was going to be here. I am Buddhist and I wanted to learn about Jesus. I said, you are not too late. And there I held that man in my arms as he wept on my shoulder. And I told him about Christ and he bowed his head. So have you trusted Christ? That is everything. Everything is not being American. Everything is not being a preacher. Everything is not being a Baptist. Everything is Christ. And I appreciate, Brother Bob, your testimony. And I'm getting tired just hearing it. First wind, second wind, third wind, fourth wind. God bless. Amen. Just pray for him. Pray for him. We do support him. If you'd like to give something towards some of these projects, we'd be open to that. You just pray about that. And God bless you. You've been here.
