...
>> NEW GUINEA, 1970s.
A SMALL TRIBAL GROUP KNOWN
AS THE KOROWAI BEGIN TO MAKE
CONTACT WITH THE OUTSIDE WORLD.
RUMORS OF THEIR CANNIBALISM,
INTENSE CLAN WARFARE,
AND TOWERING TREE HOMES
BECOME THE DISTINCTIVE
SIGNS OF THE KOROWAI.
THEY ARE A UNIQUE AND PRIMITIVE
CULTURE IN EVERY SENSE, BUT
AS THE GENERATIONS PASS, MANY
KOROWAI ABANDON THEIR LIVES
IN THE JUNGLE AND BEGIN TO LIVE
IN GOVERNMENT ESTABLISHED
RIVER SETTLEMENTS.
BUT STILL, EVEN TO THIS DAY,
DEEP IN THE JUNGLES, THERE
EXISTS SMALL POCKETS OF
TRADITIONAL KOROWAI.
OUR MISSION WOULD BE TO
PENETRATE THE VAST JUNGLES AND
REACH THESE REMOTE ENCAMPMENTS.
BUT FIRST, WE'D HAVE TO NAVIGATE
THE BRAZA RIVER, AND THEN FORM
AN EXPEDITION PARTY AT THE RIVER
SETTLEMENT OF MABUL.
THE JOURNEY WE ARE ABOUT TO
UNDERTAKE WAS TO A PLACE AND
PEOPLE WHERE TIME STOOD STILL.

>> SO, IT'S EARLY MORNING
AND WE GOT IN LATE LAST NIGHT
TO THIS SMALL LITTLE
VILLAGE ENCAMPMENT ALONG
THE RIVERSIDE, WHICH IS MABUL.
AND FROM MABUL, THEN WE'RE GONNA
BE MOVING INTO THE JUNGLE.
>> INSIDE THIS VAST JUNGLE
REGION HERE, THERE'S SMALL
LITTLE POCKETS AND SMALL LITTLE
SETTLEMENTS OF KOROWAI THAT ARE
STILL LIVING IN THE TRADITIONAL
STILT HOUSES.
WE HAVE OUR GUIDE WHOSE NAME IS
ISAAC, AND HE KNOWS THIS AREA.
HE'S BLAZED TRAILS HERE BEFORE
AND HE'S GONNA BE WORKING WITH
THE LOCAL KOROWAI PORTERS, AND
GUIDES, AND PEOPLE WHO ARE GONNA
BE ABLE TO TAKE US BACK IN THE
BUSH.
WE HAVE SO MANY PORTERS THAT ARE
GOING WITH US, AND ONE OF THE
REASONS FOR THAT IS IS THEY KNOW
CERTAIN ENCAMPMENTS FROM WHERE
THEIR HOME VILLAGES WERE BEFORE.
AND THIS TOWN OF MABUL IS
BASICALLY PEOPLE WHO HAVE COME
OUT OF THE JUNGLE AND DECIDED TO
LIVE CLOSER TO THE RIVERSIDE,
BUT THEY STILL KNOW OF PLACES OR
STILL HAVE FAMILY MEMBERS,
DISTANT FAMILY, THAT'S LIVING IN
THE INTERIOR, AND THEY'RE GONNA
BE ABLE TO GUIDE US TO CERTAIN
SECTIONS IN THERE.
>> HERE WE GO.
BASICALLY THIS IS ALL LOW LAND,
SO WE'RE NOT GONNA BE GETTING
ANY MOUNTAIN CROSSINGS OR
ANYTHING LIKE THAT, BUT WE ARE
GONNA BE FACING A LOT OF DEEP
SWAMPS, LOTS OF MUD, LOTS OF
MOSQUITOES, LOTS OF TOUGH,
TOUGH TERRAIN.
FROM WHAT WE'VE HEARD FROM THE
GUIDES, WE KNOW WE'RE GONNA HAVE
AT LEAST 2 FULL DAYS OF TREKKING
BEFORE WE EVEN REACH THE FIRST
REALLY REMOTE SETTLEMENT, SO
THIS IS GONNA BE THE BEGINNING
OF OUR MARCH.
>> DAY ONE ON THE KOROWAI
JOURNEY.
I HEAR KIND OF THE PORTERS
YELLING BACK AND FORTH TO EACH
OTHER 'CAUSE THEY KNOW WHERE
THEY ARE.
BUT IT'S INCREDIBLE THAT ANYBODY
COULD HAVE BEEN BACK HERE.
I MEAN, THIS IS JUST STAGGERING
HOW REMOTE THIS IS.
>> THAT'S EXERTING ISN'T IT?
>> I KNOW.
LIKE, THE HOURS WE'VE BEEN GOING
THROUGH THIS REALLY THICK SWAMP.
IT'S JUST ALL WATER.
NOW WE'VE GOT KIND OF AN
IMPASSABLE ONE.
OH MAN, IT IS HOT THOUGH.
>> LOOK AT THIS RIVER OUT HERE.
LOOK AT THAT.
>> TRYING TO GET THESE TREES
DOWN SO WE CAN CROSS THIS
FAST-MOVING WATER HERE.
HE'S WORKING QUICK ON THIS GUY.
WOW!
>> THE KOROWAI IN OUR EXPEDITION
PARTY ARE ALL YOUNG MEN FROM THE
RIVER SETTLEMENT.
THEY ARE STRONG AND COMFORTABLE
IN THE JUNGLE.
THEY MOVE THROUGH THE FOREST
BAREFOOT AND SING SONGS THAT
BRING CALM TO THE TEDIOUS
ENVIRONMENT.
THERE'S A KINDNESS AND A
HUMILITY IN THEIR EVERY ACTION,
AND WHERE THEY HAVE LITTLE
ACCORDING TO THE MODERN WORLD
THEY MAKE UP FOR IN A LIFE FREE
FROM THE STRESSES THAT ENSNARE
SO MANY.
THEY ARE QUICK TO HELP OUR
INEFFICIENCIES, AND TOGETHER WE
HAVE BEGUN TO LEARN FROM EACH
OTHER.
AT THE FIRST NIGHT'S CAMP, WE
ASK THE KOROWAI ON OUR TEAM
ABOUT KNOWING JESUS.
ALL OF THEM HAD A KNOWLEDGE
ABOUT CHRISTIANITY, BUT FEW KNEW
ABOUT THE SALVATION IN HIM.
>> THIS SYMBOL IS THE WAY THAT
JESUS PAID THE PRICE FOR
EVERYBODY.
>> AS WE EXPLAIN THE BASICS OF
THE GOSPEL AND SHOWED THEM THE
PICTORIAL LIFE OF JESUS, THERE
WAS A SENSE OF HUNGER AND
YEARNING FOR THE HOLY SPIRIT.
THE TRUTH OF THE GOSPEL IS NEVER
TOO FAR FROM ANY MAN, AND THAT
NIGHT, THEY ALL PRAYED TO
RECEIVE JESUS.
>> I ASK YOU TO LIVE INSIDE OF
ME NOW AND TO SAVE ME.
>> OUR TEAM WAS NOW READY, AND
BY DAY 2, THERE WAS A SENSE OF
EXCITEMENT TO REACH EVEN THE
FURTHEST KOROWAI SETTLEMENTS
WITH THE GOSPEL.
>> DAY TWO, AND WE'RE HEADING
FURTHER INTO THE JUNGLE.
HOPEFULLY BY NIGHTFALL TONIGHT
WE'LL BE ABLE TO REACH THE FIRST
OF THE REMOTE KOROWAI, BUT
TODAY'S GONNA BE ANOTHER BRUTAL
DAY OF TREKKING IN THE BUSH,
SO HERE WE GO.
>> THAT'S A BRIDGE.
>> HOW'D YOU HAVE YOUR KNIFE
THERE?
>> I LOOKED AT MY KNIFE AND IT
WAS POPPED OPEN.
I WAS WALKING BASICALLY LIKE
THAT.
'CAUSE I MEAN, IF YOU LIKE SLIP
AND FALL--
>> IT'S OVER.
>> THAT'S DANGEROUS IF YOU,
LIKE, FELL LIKE THAT.
I MEAN, THAT'S BAD.
I MEAN, IT LITERALLY SPRUNG WHEN
I WAS WALKING.
IT MUST HAVE JUST POPPED OPEN
LIKE THAT.
>> GOOD, WE WAS PRAYING TO GOD.
>> YOU KNOW WHAT?
YOU SHOULD JUST GIVE THAT KNIFE
AWAY.
YOU DON'T NEED IT.
>> I'M, LIKE, DANGEROUS WITH IT.
>> YOU ARE.
>> CROSSING A SECTION OF SWAMP
HERE THAT LASTS, WHO KNOWS?
YOU KIND OF SLOG DOWN 'CAUSE
YOUR BOOTS AND EVERYTHING
FILL WITH WATER.
AND IT IS VERY THICK GETTING
THROUGH HERE.
>> WHAT IS THAT?
DO YOU HAVE A KNIFE?
PULL OUT YOUR KNIFE.
>> WHAT DO YOU HAVE, A LEECH?
>> LOOK AT THIS.
ONCE MORE AN UNWELCOME FRIEND.
OH MAN, BEEN THERE BEFORE.
>> I THINK I FEEL SOMETHING
HERE.
>> SO HERE'S AWA.
HERE'S LEBOHI.
AND NOW WE'VE BEEN WALKING THIS
ONE TODAY.
HERE'S WHERE WE ARE NOW.
SO WE'RE CLOSE TO THIS RIVER.
WHAT'S THAT RIVER NAME?
>> LAREMKABU.
>> OKAY, SO WE'RE HALFWAY, I
THINK, BETWEEN HERE AND THE
RIVER.
>> YEAH.
>> AFTER A LONG DAY OF TREKKING
THROUGH THE BUSH AND A FINAL
RIVER CROSSING, WE CAME UPON A
GROUP OF TREE HOUSES.
>> OH YEAH, THAT'S A SETTLEMENT.
>> AND THEN SAW TWO ELDERLY
KOROWAI MEN EMERGE TO GREET US.
>> [SPEAKING FOREIGN LANGUAGE]
>> WHAT'S UP?
>> WE JUST MET SOME KOROWAI HERE
AND IT'S BASICALLY A CLAN OF
THESE TWO ELDERLY BROTHERS WHO
ARE LIVING IN A VERY PRIMITIVE
WAY.
IT'S PROBABLY THE MOST PRIMITIVE
I'VE EVER SEEN PEOPLE LIVING.
AND THEY'RE GONNA SHOW US
THEIR HOMES.
WE CAME ACROSS ONE LITTLE
SETTLEMENT HERE AND THEY'RE
GONNA SHOW US THE OTHER HOMES UP
HERE, WHICH ARE INDICATIVE TO
THE KOROWAI, WHICH ARE HIGH UP
AND OFF THE GROUND LIKE TREE
HOUSES.
>> SO, THIS IS THE INSIDE OF ONE
OF THE STILTED HOUSES, AND WE'RE
PROBABLY, I'D SAY, LIKE 20 FEET
OR SO OFF THE GROUND.
THIS IS KIND OF THE TYPICAL
HEIGHT OF THE HOMES THAT
THE KOROWAI LIVE IN.
IN THE PAST, THEY USED TO BUILD
VERY, VERY HIGH HOMES, BUT THAT
WAS JUST DURING THE TIME OF WAR.
>> INSIDE THESE HOMES, ALL THE
LIFE BASICALLY TAKES PLACE UP
HERE.
THERE'S SO MUCH RAIN THAT FLOODS
OUT THIS REGION, THEY HAVE TO
BUILD THE HOMES UP.
AND YOU SEE, LIKE, THE FIRE PITS
UP HERE.
THEY HAVE THE DOGS UP HERE.
THEY HAVE THE PIGS UP HERE.
>> OH, IT'S A BIRD.
BIRD SKULL.
>> IT'S PRETTY INCREDIBLE TO SEE
A LOT OF, LIKE, BONES FROM ALL
THE FOOD THAT THEY'LL EAT.
YOU'LL SEE THE CASSOWARY BONES,
WHICH ARE THE GIANT BIRDS THAT
KIND OF ROAM AROUND THROUGH
THE JUNGLE HERE.
THE FASCINATING THING IS IT'S
VERY RARE TO EVEN SEE THESE
HOMES ANYMORE.
WITHIN THE NEXT FEW YEARS, THERE
PROBABLY WON'T BE ANY KOROWAI
LIVING IN STILTED HOMES INSIDE
THE JUNGLE.
MOST OF 'EM ARE COMING INTO THE
BIGGER VILLAGES AND KIND OF
RESETTLING, AND THAT'S KIND OF
WHAT WE'VE BEEN HEARING.
AND YOU'RE BASICALLY JUST
SEEING, LIKE, THESE POCKETS
THROUGHOUT THE JUNGLES JUST
FILLED WITH, LIKE, OLDER PEOPLE,
MORE ELDERLY PEOPLE.
IT'S PRETTY INCREDIBLE BECAUSE
IT'S KIND OF A VANISHING
LIFESTYLE.
>> [SPEAKING FOREIGN LANGUAGE]
>> WITH THE MESSAGE THAT WE'VE
COME TO TELL THEM, GOD ABOVE,
WHO CREATED THE HEAVENS AND THE
EARTH, HE LOVES YOU AND HE CARES
FOR YOU.
HAVE THEY SEEN THIS SYMBOL?
THIS MEANT JESUS WAS BORN A LONG
TIME AGO, MANY THOUSANDS OF
YEARS AGO, MANY FAMILIES BEFORE.
>> AND NOW WE'RE ACTUALLY UP IN
ONE OF THE KOROWAI TREE HOUSES,
AND WE JUST HAD A REALLY GOOD
OPPORTUNITY FOR MINISTRY.
>> AND HE SAID, "LOOK AND SEE
THAT I AM ALIVE," AND THEY COULD
EVEN PUT THEIR FINGERS INTO
THE HOLES OF HIS HAND.
>> THE PEOPLE BACK HERE ARE SO
OPEN TO THE GOSPEL, AND THERE'S
A LOT OF THINGS IN THERE THAT
THEY WERE SAYING, YOU KNOW, THAT
YOU WOULDN'T THINK OF.
BUT BOTH OF THE MEN SAID, "YOU
KNOW, WE'VE KILLED SO MANY MEN,"
IN OBVIOUSLY TRIBAL WARFARE AND
THINGS LIKE THAT.
SO YOU'RE LOOKING AT THESE MEN
WHO ARE CARRYING THAT BURDEN
THEIR WHOLE LIVES, AND THEN TO
HEAR THE GOSPEL IS A REALLY
POWERFUL THING.
BUT THIS IS, LIKE, THE FIRST
INTRODUCTIONS OF CHRIST JESUS,
BUT YOU KNOW, THAT'S WHAT WE
PRAY FOR.
WE PRAY FOR OPPORTUNITIES TO
BRING THE GOSPEL WHERE IT HASN'T
GONE BEFORE, AND WE KNOW THAT
GOD'S GONNA SHOW HIMSELF
IN GREAT WAYS HERE.
>> AND LORD, THAT HE WILL KNOW
THAT IT IS YOUR TOUCH UPON HIM,
FATHER GOD, THAT IS HEALING HIM.
THE POWER OF THE HOLY SPIRIT
ANOINTING HIM RIGHT NOW
IN THE NAME OF JESUS.
AND LORD--
>> AFTER DAYS OF TREKKING, WE
ARE FINALLY ABLE TO REACH THE
FIRST REMOTE SETTLEMENT AND
PREACH THE GOSPEL.
THIS WAS THE START OF OUR
MINISTRY AND ALSO AND
INTRODUCTION TO THE KOROWAI WAY
OF LIFE.
>> IS THAT SEGA LARVAE?
>> THIS IS HIGH PROTEIN.
>> YEAH.
>> THEY HAVE TO COOK FIRST.
>> OH, YOU HAVE TO COOK.
>> ISAAC BROUGHT SOME LARVAE FOR
THE PORTERS TO EAT 'CAUSE THEY
LOVE EATING IT 'CAUSE IT'S,
LIKE, HIGH PROTEIN.
THEY HAD IT IN A LITTLE BANANA
LEAF SHOOT, AND MIXED IT IN WITH
SOME, LIKE, GREENS AND THINGS
LIKE THAT.
YOU COULD SEE 'EM KIND OF
SQUIRMING AROUND WHEN THEY PUT
'EM IN, BUT THAT'S KIND OF WHAT
THEY LIKE TO EAT HERE,
HERE IN KOROWAI REGION.
>> GOOD?
>> THEY WERE POPPING 'EM IN,
LIKE, LIVE TOO WHEN THEY WERE
EATING 'EM.
>> [LAUGHING]
>> IT LOOKS LIKE A NICE DISH
ACTUALLY THEY'RE PUTTING
TOGETHER WITH IT.
>> TOMORROW AND THE DAY AFTER,
WE GO ALL THE WAY TO FIND
THE MORE PRIMITIVE, STONE AGE.
PEOPLE ARE ANIMIST ALSO.
THEY DON'T BELIEVE IN GOD.
>> OKAY.
>> SO BASICALLY, NOW THAT WE'RE
IN THE REMOTE KOROWAI AREA,
WE'RE GONNA BE HEADING OUT FROM
HERE TO REACH AND MINISTER
EVERY OTHER ENCAMPMENT.
AND SOME OF THESE OTHER
SETTLEMENTS MIGHT BE 4 OR 5 DAYS
FROM HERE, BUT, YOU KNOW, WE
REALLY KNOW THAT THERE'S GONNA
BE GREAT MINISTRY
IN THE DAYS AHEAD.
>> AS WE SET OUT FOR THE DAYS
AHEAD, WE KNEW THAT THIS WOULD
BE THE FIRST TIME FOR MANY TO
HEAR THE GOSPEL, AND IT WAS OUR
MISSION THAT WE'D LEAVE NO
VILLAGE UNREACHED.
>> GOD LOVED THE WORLD SO MUCH
THAT HE SENT HIS SON TO DIE ON
THE CROSS, EVEN THOUGH HIS SON
WAS INNOCENT.
BUT THAT WAS THE PRICE THAT PAID
FOR ALL OF MEN'S SINS TO THOSE
WHO BELIEVE IN JESUS.
>> [SPEAKING FOREIGN LANGUAGE]
>> WHEN YOU RECEIVE JESUS INTO
YOUR LIFE, HE WASHES YOUR HEART
CLEAN, MAKES IT NEW, AND YOU
HAVE AN ETERNAL HOME WITH HIM.
SO, HE MAKES EVERYTHING NEW HERE
AND HIS SPIRIT LIVES INSIDE OF
YOU.
AND JESUS SAID, "WHEN I HUNG ON
THE CROSS, I PAID THE PRICE FOR
ALL OF MAN'S SINS."
IF THERE WAS A PERSON WHO SICK,
JESUS WOULD JUST LAY HIS HAND
UPON THEM AND THEY'D BE HEALED.
>> GOD LOVES US ALL EQUALLY.
HE LOVES US THE SAME.
HE LOVES THE DANNY THE SAME,
ME THE SAME, AND THE KOROWAI
THE SAME.
THEY'RE ALL THE CHILDREN OF GOD
THAT HE LOVES DEEPLY.
>> [SPEAKING FOREIGN LANGUAGE]
>> HE KILLED THREE MEN
AND STOLE ONE PIG.
>> AT EVERY NEW ENCAMPMENT, WE
WITNESSED YOUNG AND OLD PRAY TO
RECEIVE HIM.
>> I THANK YOU LORD FOR SAVING
ME, AND I ASK YOUR HOLY SPIRIT
TO COME AND LIVE INSIDE OF ME
NOW.
LORD, THAT THERE WOULD BE HEALTH
AND HEALING OVER EACH ONE OF
THEM, FATHER GOD.
>> THERE'D BE A COMPLETE
STRENGTHENING OVER HER BODY.
>> WE PRAYED FOR THE SICK AND
EXPLAINED THE MESSAGE OF THE
GOSPEL IN DETAIL.
>> JESUS, I BELIEVE IN YOU.
FORGIVE ME OF MY SINS.
>> DAY AFTER DAY PASSED AS WE
MOVED FURTHER INTO THE INTERIOR,
SO FAR FROM THE KNOWN WORLD,
AND EVEN OUR GUIDES HAD NEVER
TRAVELED THIS WAY BEFORE.
THEN, ON THE 7TH DAY OF
MINISTRY, WE CAME UPON A HIDDEN
SETTLEMENT THAT'D BE ONE OF
THE MOST REMOTE ENCOUNTERS
WE'D EVER HAVE IN OUR LIVES.
>> [SPEAKING FOREIGN LANGUAGE]
>> WE CAME ACROSS THIS.
THIS IS VERY REMOTE.
>> YEAH, WE HIKED IN TODAY AFTER
MINISTERING IN ONE, AND TOOK US
A LONG, GOOD PORTION OF THE DAY,
LONGER THAN IT'S TAKEN US TO SEE
ANYWHERE ELSE.
AND WE CAME HERE, AND YOU CAN
TELL THAT IT'S SUPER REMOTE
BECAUSE EVERYBODY IN THE SMALL
LITTLE TREE HOUSE IS, YOU KNOW,
TOTALLY UNCLOTHED AND TOTALLY IN
TRADITIONAL CLOTHING.
AND THEN WHEN I CAME HERE TO THE
HUT, THE MAN WAS TOUCHING MY
BEARD AND THE CHILD WAS PETTING
MY HAIR 'CAUSE THEY'VE NEVER
SEEN THAT BEFORE.
SO, THIS IS A VERY, VERY REMOTE
VILLAGE HERE, AND EVERYBODY'S
SUPER FRIENDLY.
VERY NICE.
YEAH.
THEY'RE WELCOMING US INTO, LIKE,
THE LONG HOUSE, WHICH IS LIKE A
CEREMONIAL HOUSE FOR THE
[INAUDIBLE].
>> SO WE WERE JUST CONVERSING
WITH THE MAN HERE AND IT'S THE
FIRST WHITE PEOPLE THAT HE'S
EVER SEEN TO COME BACK HERE.
HE'S NEVER SEEN 'EM BEFORE.
HE DOESN'T GO OUT TO EVEN MABUL.
HE JUST STAYS HERE IN THE JUNGLE
AND SO THIS IS QUITE AN
ENCOUNTER.
SO, HE'S NEVER SEEN IT BEFORE.
AND WHEN WE WERE--YOU KNOW, I
WAS SITTING CLOSE NEXT TO HIM,
HE WAS TOUCHING MY BEARD AND
TOUCHING MY HAIR, AND EVERYTHING
LIKE THAT AS WELL TOO.
SO, THAT'S--
>> THAT'S REMOTE.
>> THAT'S VERY REMOTE.
>> I MEAN, YOU DON'T SEE THAT
VERY OFTEN.
>> YEAH, IT DOESN'T GET ANY MORE
REMOTE THAN THIS IN THE WORLD,
SO I MEAN, THIS IS A VERY RARE
ENCOUNTER HERE WITH HIM AND HIS
SMALL FAMILY HERE.
>> [SPEAKING FOREIGN LANGUAGE]
>> HAS HE EVER SEEN AN AXE LIKE
THIS ONE?
>> [SPEAKING FOREIGN LANGUAGE]
>> AND HERE'S THE ORANGE.
HERE'S THE ORANGE TOO.
HE'S NEVER EATEN, THIS IS THE
FIRST TIME.
>> FIRST TIME.
>> YEAH.
IT HAS SEEDS.
>> [SPEAKING FOREIGN LANGUAGE]
>> DOES HE LIKE IT?
>> [SPEAKING FOREIGN LANGUAGE]
>> HE ASK--HE ASKED TO ASK--HE
SAID, "HOW DO YOU GET THIS?
HOW DID YOU GET ALL THIS?"
>> ALL THESE THINGS.
>> YES, THESE THINGS.
YOU BUY WITH WHAT KIND OF
THINGS?
>> OH, YOU TRADE.
IT'S WITH MONEY.
WITH--GOSH, I DON'T EVEN KNOW
HOW TO EXPLAIN THAT.
>> [SPEAKING FOREIGN LANGUAGE]
>> SO WE'RE HERE TONIGHT WITH
THIS REMOTE KOROWAI FAMILY, AND
REALLY JUST HAD AN AMAZING
ENCOUNTER WITH THEM.
WE'RE GONNA SHARE A MEAL WITH
THEM TONIGHT AND THEN PREACH THE
GOSPEL TO THEM IN THE MORNING.
AND WE'RE JUST STANDING THAT
THE LORD'S GONNA REALLY DO A
GREAT WORK HERE.
>> THERE WAS A MAN AND A WOMAN
THAT GOD CREATED AND PUT ON THE
EARTH.
>> [SPEAKING FOREIGN LANGUAGE]
>> AND THIS MAN AND WOMAN LIVED
IN A PLACE VERY SIMILAR
TO HOW THE KOROWAI LIVING.
EVEN GOD WOULD TALK TO THEM.
>> [SPEAKING FOREIGN LANGUAGE]
>> WHEN ADAM FELL, SIN ENTERED
THE WORLD, AND SIN MADE PEOPLE
DIE.
>> [SPEAKING FOREIGN LANGUAGE]
>> MAN WAS SEPARATED FROM GOD
FOR ALL OF THIS TIME.
HE TOLD PEOPLE LONG AGO THAT HE
SAID, "I AM GOING TO SEND
SOMEONE WHO'S GOING TO PAY THE
PRICE FOR ALL MEN'S SIN."
>> [SPEAKING FOREIGN LANGUAGE]
>> JESUS, THE SENT ONE, THE ONE
WHO IS BEFORE THE FOUNDATIONS OF
THE WORLD, THE ONE WHO IS
PERFECT, THE SON OF MAN WHO
PROVED HIMSELF IN BOTH WORD AND
DEED, FOR HE HEALED THE SICK AND
BROKE THE POWER OF THE ENEMY.
>> IF THERE WAS A PERSON WHO
COULDN'T SEE, WHO WAS BLIND,
JESUS WOULD LAY HIS HANDS ON
THEM AND SAY, "BE HEALED,"
AND THEY COULD SEE.
IF THERE'S A PERSON WHO COULDN'T
WALK, HE WOULD LAY THEIR HANDS
ON 'EM AND THEY WOULD WALK.
IF THERE WAS EVEN DEAD PEOPLE
WHO WERE IN THE GRAVE, HE WOULD
LAY HIS HANDS ON 'EM AND THEY
WOULD RAISE FROM THE DEAD.
>> [SPEAKING FOREIGN LANGUAGE]
>> AND THE WORDS THAT HE SAID IS
HE SAYS, "I HAVE COME HERE TO
SEEK AND SAVE THE LOST."
>> HE IS THE ONE WHO SUFFERED
AND DIED FOR THE SINS OF ALL
MANKIND, AND IT IS THROUGH HIS
DEATH THAT WE GAIN LIFE.
>> AND THEY MADE HIM TAKE IT
OUTSIDE THE TOWN, AND THAT THEY
WERE GOING TO PUT HIM ON THIS
TREE.
THEN THEY PUT NAILS IN HIS HAND
LIKE THIS.
>> FOR IT IS THROUGH THE
PUNISHMENT OF THE ONE THAT
RIGHTEOUSNESS CAME TO ALL.
>> AND NAIL IN THIS HAND, AND
THEN NAIL ALSO IN THE FEET.
SO HE WAS STANDING ON THE CROSS.
>> AND FOR JUST AS HE IS RISEN,
WE ARE RISEN IN HIM TO A NEW
LIFE.
>> AND THE GREAT THING IS IS 3
DAYS LATER, GOD ROSE JESUS FROM
THE DEAD.
AND THEN JESUS APPEARED TO THE
FOLLOWERS AND HE SAID, "SEE THAT
I'M ALIVE AND SEE THAT I TRULY
AM THE SON OF GOD."
AND THEY COULD EVEN PUT THEIR
FINGERS INTO THE HOLES IN HIS
HAND.
>> [SPEAKING FOREIGN LANGUAGE]
>> WHEN YOU RECEIVE JESUS INTO
YOUR LIFE, HE WASHES YOUR HEART
CLEAN, MAKES IT NEW, AND YOU
HAVE AN ETERNAL HOME WITH HIM.
SO, HE MAKES EVERYTHING NEW HERE
AND HIS SPIRIT LIVES INSIDE OF
YOU.
>> [SPEAKING FOREIGN LANGUAGE]
>> THEY'RE EXPECTING HIM.
>> OKAY, HALLELUJAH.
DEAR HEAVENLY FATHER, I ASK YOU
TO FORGIVE ME OF MY SINS.
>> [SPEAKING FOREIGN LANGUAGE]
>> I BELIEVE IN YOU, JESUS.
>> [SPEAKING FOREIGN LANGUAGE]
>> I BELIEVE THAT YOU DIED ON
THE CROSS.
>> [SPEAKING FOREIGN LANGUAGE]
>> THANK YOU JESUS FOR SAVING
ME.
>> [SPEAKING FOREIGN LANGUAGE]
>> AMEN.
[MUSIC]
>> THERE'S VICTORY
IN THE GOSPEL.
NO MATTER HOW DISTANT A PERSON
IS, THERE IS A TRUTH IN IT THAT
IS UNIVERSAL TO ALL MANKIND.
PEOPLE OF EVERY TRIBE, TONGUE,
AND NATION HEAR IT AND DESIRE TO
BE UNITED WITH THE LIVING GOD.
AND IT IS FOR THIS REASON THAT
WE SPEAK OF THIS GOOD NEWS
AND SHARE IT WITH THOSE
WHO DO NOT KNOW HIM.
SO WE PRESS ON, MOVING CLOSER
TO THAT GLORIOUS DAY
WHEN ALL MANKIND WILL HEAR.
