00:00:22.640 --> 00:00:26.080
My friends in my privilege during the last  

00:00:26.080 --> 00:00:30.720
few years to make a number of 
missionary journeys around the world,  

00:00:31.520 --> 00:00:37.600
in the interest of the Bible Institute of Los 
Angeles. This school for nearly a half a century  

00:00:38.640 --> 00:00:43.840
has had the privilege of training young people 
for Christian service throughout the world.  

00:00:44.640 --> 00:00:52.960
Recently the Director of Missions of the Institute 
the Reverend Aaron Smith and I went into the heart  

00:00:52.960 --> 00:00:58.320
of Africa to see for ourselves but the missionary 
graduates of the school have accomplished.  

00:00:59.520 --> 00:01:03.680
We also made a survey of conditions 
that young people will have to meet  

00:01:04.560 --> 00:01:11.840
as they set their faces toward the dark 
continent. We found Africa steeped in sin,  

00:01:12.560 --> 00:01:20.400
superstition and spiritual darkness. At 
the same time Africa is a sleeping giant  

00:01:21.280 --> 00:01:30.880
just now stirring with the growing light of a new 
day ready for anything. Before David Livingston,  

00:01:31.600 --> 00:01:38.720
Robert Moffat another great mission to the 
cross, Africa was unknown and unchallenged  

00:01:38.720 --> 00:01:47.120
by the evangelical forces of the Christian church 
but today the missionary is there with the gospel  

00:01:47.920 --> 00:01:54.720
and at the same time the western terrific inroads 
upon that continent where the revolutionary  

00:01:54.720 --> 00:02:04.080
consequences. Mohammedanism, communism, 
Mau Mau terrorism are also making their bid  

00:02:04.800 --> 00:02:11.280
for these darkened souls. This is the 
time to reach Africa for Christ or it  

00:02:11.280 --> 00:02:18.400
will be eternally too late. As Africa 
awakens the changes are tremendous.  

00:02:19.360 --> 00:02:26.640
Out of the dim recesses of an ancient civilization 
it is thrust into the turbulent movements of the  

00:02:26.640 --> 00:02:35.840
20th century. What the result is to be is not 
yet known, that chapter is being written today.  

00:02:36.800 --> 00:02:43.280
This then was the reason for the Bible 
Institute expedition into the dark continent,  

00:02:44.160 --> 00:02:52.080
to declare the gospel and to determine how better 
to equip the hundreds of prospective missionaries  

00:02:52.800 --> 00:02:57.440
each year being trained at the 
Bible Institute of Los Angeles.

00:02:59.680 --> 00:03:04.240
As Africa awaits, the social 
impact of the change is felt  

00:03:04.240 --> 00:03:07.200
by the teeming multitudes 
which make up the population  

00:03:08.080 --> 00:03:14.160
but these people are now dreaming and hoping will 
determine the future of a continent. What they are  

00:03:14.160 --> 00:03:19.920
becoming as they put their plans into action 
will shape the destiny of tomorrow's world.  

00:03:23.840 --> 00:03:29.920
As Africa awakes, the wealth of her natural 
resources will be unleashed to serve the cause  

00:03:29.920 --> 00:03:36.480
of righteousness or to crush the world under 
an overwhelming evil. Here on the mighty Congo  

00:03:36.480 --> 00:03:43.200
countless water spillways await man's hand to 
become by this human touch the source of power.  

00:03:44.160 --> 00:03:50.080
As Africa awakes the importance of her river 
transportation and communication facilities  

00:03:50.080 --> 00:03:55.440
will increase. In the competitive market 
with which the western mind is familiar,  

00:03:56.000 --> 00:04:02.480
these primitive methods would never suffice. 
Here however these 60-foot dugouts are used  

00:04:02.480 --> 00:04:09.120
along almost 3,000 miles of this river highway. 
Propelled by skillful oarsmen who are trained from  

00:04:09.120 --> 00:04:15.120
childhood these slender craft shoot the rapids or 
move through the quieter reaches of the waterway.

00:04:20.720 --> 00:04:26.320
Racks for drying the nets and the presence 
of the funnel-shaped fish traps indicate that  

00:04:26.320 --> 00:04:32.400
the river serves as a vital source of economic 
livelihood. The lack of adequate roads in this  

00:04:32.400 --> 00:04:38.400
region of Africa makes the most significant links 
in the line of communication. The message of the  

00:04:38.400 --> 00:04:44.480
cross is heard in isolated jungle centers as the 
intrepid missionary pioneer brings his witness  

00:04:44.480 --> 00:04:51.360
to these primitive areas by boat. New people and 
new things and new ideas are coming to the heart  

00:04:51.360 --> 00:04:58.320
of the continent over the river road. Today 
Africa is pagan tomorrow it must be Christian.

00:05:02.880 --> 00:05:08.720
As Africa awakes her successful achievement 
will be measured by the degree of adaptation  

00:05:08.720 --> 00:05:13.680
to the demands of a different way of life. 
Only as the people are able to meet the  

00:05:13.680 --> 00:05:18.800
challenges of a contemporary civilization 
will this great continent come into her own.

00:05:22.320 --> 00:05:27.120
The elephant farm represents one of the ways 
in which the African people have managed to  

00:05:27.120 --> 00:05:32.480
meet their need with the resources which 
are available. Taken wild from the jungle  

00:05:32.480 --> 00:05:37.840
these huge beasts are trained as work animals and 
for use by zoos and circuses all over the world.  

00:05:38.800 --> 00:05:44.000
After a preliminary breaking in period the 
wild elephants are tied to the domesticated  

00:05:44.000 --> 00:05:48.560
animals and accompany them on their 
daily tasks. Shortly thereafter these  

00:05:48.560 --> 00:05:52.400
newly trained creatures are put on their 
own under the command a native driver.

00:05:59.680 --> 00:06:04.080
The African people are becoming aware 
of their importance in the world and the  

00:06:04.080 --> 00:06:09.200
Christian missionary must be ready to advance 
the cause of Christ in the Africa of tomorrow.

00:06:12.000 --> 00:06:18.000
High in the eastern part of the Belgian Congo 
lies the Ituri Forest, in this land live some  

00:06:18.000 --> 00:06:24.000
of the world's most fantastic peoples, 
the pygmies. Even these tiny forest folk  

00:06:24.000 --> 00:06:29.440
virtually untouched by civilization are 
beginning to feel the pressure of outside forces.  

00:06:30.080 --> 00:06:34.560
Coming to the assistance of the Biola 
expedition these men who are less than  

00:06:34.560 --> 00:06:47.840
five feet tall expressed their welcome by 
acting as porters for the missionary visitors.

00:06:52.080 --> 00:06:57.680
With help of Dr. Talbott's party, the pygmies 
are able to prepare the monkey dish delicacy  

00:06:57.680 --> 00:07:02.720
which they relish. The two chiefs of the 
village undertake to conduct this feast.  

00:07:03.600 --> 00:07:07.440
The feet are removed and the hair 
singed off in the preliminary steps,  

00:07:08.240 --> 00:07:15.840
after hours of cooking this tempting 
repast is served to the entire village.

00:07:25.760 --> 00:07:30.800
Traditionally, the pygmy has expressed 
himself in the pagan dances characteristic of  

00:07:30.800 --> 00:07:34.560
all primitive groups. In this 
manner the people pledge their  

00:07:34.560 --> 00:07:43.840
loyalty and allegiance to the ways of their 
fathers and give vent to their emotions.

00:07:52.720 --> 00:07:56.320
The noisy drums, the shrill rhythmic whistles,  

00:07:56.320 --> 00:08:00.800
the castanets around their ankle sound 
the cadence for this primitive right.

00:08:04.880 --> 00:08:10.880
Dancing concluded, the Biola team presents the 
forest people with a highly prized gift of salt.  

00:08:11.520 --> 00:08:16.720
While this indicates the missionaries willingness 
to help it must be remembered that these little  

00:08:16.720 --> 00:08:22.320
men have deep spiritual needs which must 
be met by the preaching of the gospel.  

00:08:22.320 --> 00:08:27.920
Merely wait to see what changes will come to the 
people as Africa awakes rather by the preaching  

00:08:27.920 --> 00:08:33.760
of the gospel he directs the trend of developments 
toward Christians. Listening eagerly to the story  

00:08:33.760 --> 00:08:40.000
of the God who gave his son the pygmies feel the 
force of the message as it touches their lives.  

00:08:40.000 --> 00:08:44.880
As Biola Director of Missions Reverend Orrin 
Smith preaches to these nomadic peoples.  

00:08:45.440 --> 00:08:50.400
The English which he speaks must be translated 
twice before it is understood by his listeners.  

00:08:51.040 --> 00:08:55.840
Here is an opportunity to pioneer for Christ 
through the matter in the pygmy language  

00:08:55.840 --> 00:08:59.360
and bringing the message to this 
lowly group in his own tongue,  

00:08:59.360 --> 00:09:03.840
that they might turn from the power of 
Satan unto God and that they may receive  

00:09:03.840 --> 00:09:09.200
forgiveness of sins and inheritance among 
them which are sanctified by faith in Christ.

00:09:12.160 --> 00:09:16.240
Because of the ministry of the 
Biola party, the chief of the tribe  

00:09:16.240 --> 00:09:21.840
expressed the good wishes of the people 
by presenting the group with a chicken.  

00:09:23.200 --> 00:09:29.520
Happy in its thoughts of a ministry begun, the 
visitors regretted that this is a field without  

00:09:29.520 --> 00:09:37.040
resident missionaries. Deep in the central Congo 
contrasting with the situation in Pygmy land,  

00:09:37.040 --> 00:09:41.920
the outlook for Christian missions is an 
encouraging one. Here Dr. Talbott's party  

00:09:41.920 --> 00:09:47.440
witnesses the kind of work which is changing 
the face of Africa. Frontline soldiers of the  

00:09:47.440 --> 00:09:53.120
cross are bringing a true gospel to challenge 
the false doctrines of anti-Christian communism  

00:09:53.120 --> 00:09:57.520
and the other forces of evil seeking to 
control the mind of the African people.  

00:09:58.160 --> 00:10:03.840
Dr. Talbot is with Reverend Harold Amstutz who was 
just returning to his station after a furlough.  

00:10:05.520 --> 00:10:10.560
One of the joys of such a missionary trip as 
this is to worship with the nationals in their  

00:10:10.560 --> 00:10:17.840
church services. In chapels such as this the 
Christian future of Africa is being established.  

00:10:21.040 --> 00:10:26.560
The strange drumming is not a game nor a way 
of making music it is a unique scheme for  

00:10:26.560 --> 00:10:31.840
catching large and succulent ants used 
as food to supplement the native diet.  

00:10:41.200 --> 00:10:47.280
A mud trap is placed over the ant hole and then 
the pitter patter of the stick simulates the sound  

00:10:47.280 --> 00:10:53.120
of falling rain this causes the ants to come to 
the surface and in doing so they enter the trap  

00:10:53.760 --> 00:10:59.840
these large long-winged ants provide a favorite 
delicacy which the people consume with relish.  

00:11:00.560 --> 00:11:04.160
Dr. Talbot is not enthusiastic 
about this type of refreshment.

00:11:11.360 --> 00:11:16.880
Children in any land provide a fruitful and 
rewarding field of labor for the missionary.  

00:11:16.880 --> 00:11:21.040
As the youngsters prepare for the next 
meal it is quite a task to get them clean.  

00:11:21.760 --> 00:11:25.680
As the water is poured from the tin 
can the little cherubs manage at least  

00:11:25.680 --> 00:11:30.080
to get their hands and face wet even 
though they may miss behind their ears.

00:11:38.000 --> 00:11:42.560
Before they eat a prayer of thanks 
is offered and the big happy family  

00:11:42.560 --> 00:11:46.800
gathers round the one bowl to enjoy 
the food which God has provided.

00:11:49.840 --> 00:11:53.920
The lack of silverware does not seem to 
be a matter of any grave concern to these  

00:11:53.920 --> 00:11:58.800
hungry children, perhaps they figure that 
the fingers were made before forks anyway  

00:11:59.600 --> 00:12:02.720
but they have grown to be young 
men and women it is profoundly  

00:12:02.720 --> 00:12:09.840
to be hoped that they will become 
a part of the Christian church.

00:12:13.040 --> 00:12:18.160
In this band of marching men a portion 
of the church moves forward to possess  

00:12:18.160 --> 00:12:23.040
the victory of the gospel. This is the 
result of the missionary enterprise.  

00:12:23.680 --> 00:12:28.080
Awake to their responsibility 
these whose hearts belong to Christ  

00:12:28.080 --> 00:12:32.720
have expressed their willingness to accept 
the challenge to make Africa Christian.

00:12:34.880 --> 00:12:40.720
Across Lake Victoria in the country of Tanganyika 
lies another field of tremendous missionary  

00:12:40.720 --> 00:12:50.080
endeavor. Here the Africa inland mission operates 
a great leprosarium. Colon Doto, the place where  

00:12:50.080 --> 00:12:54.960
this station is located, is renowned for the 
tremendous strides which have been achieved in  

00:12:54.960 --> 00:13:01.200
combating leprosy. Medical science has all 
but defeated this ancient enemy of mankind.  

00:13:02.240 --> 00:13:08.320
On these grounds those who have suffered the 
ravages of the disease are sympathetically and  

00:13:08.320 --> 00:13:13.680
lovingly cared for. Although the occurrence 
of any further damage has been stopped  

00:13:14.240 --> 00:13:21.600
it is not possible to repair the destroyed tissue. 
However even those who have to crawl are happy  

00:13:21.600 --> 00:13:27.280
in the healing which has been given them. As they 
have received treatment and have had the privilege  

00:13:27.280 --> 00:13:34.640
of hearing from sincere missionaries of the son 
of God who loved them and gave himself for them.

00:13:40.000 --> 00:13:45.840
A sad feature of the work in this mission station 
is the effect of the disease on the children.  

00:13:46.720 --> 00:13:51.760
Special attention is given to these youngsters 
who may be fortunate enough to be discharged  

00:13:51.760 --> 00:13:57.200
from the hospital. Under the careful 
supervision of an excellently trained staff,  

00:13:57.760 --> 00:14:03.600
the treasurer of Africa's children is being 
safeguarded. Some of them will return to their  

00:14:03.600 --> 00:14:11.600
villages to live relatively normal lives. 
We think of Christ's words even so it is  

00:14:11.600 --> 00:14:16.640
not the will of your father which is in heaven 
that one of these little ones should perish.  

00:14:17.920 --> 00:14:22.880
While the nurses and assistants tend to the 
physical needs of these children, they are  

00:14:22.880 --> 00:14:29.840
aware of a deeper need for Christ for these who 
may one day by God's grace be leaders in Africa.

00:14:34.320 --> 00:14:41.280
In a meeting with these children Dr. Talbot talks 
to the assembled lepers about the power of God to  

00:14:41.280 --> 00:14:47.760
heal the spiritual disease of sin and tells them 
of the great physician who brings healing to the  

00:14:47.760 --> 00:14:57.840
soul. Youngsters with alert minds are responding 
to the message of Christ as Africa awakes.

00:15:02.960 --> 00:15:08.000
The replenishing of the meat supply is always 
a problem on the mission station in Africa.  

00:15:08.720 --> 00:15:12.240
Because of this the hippopotamus 
hunt is an important occasion  

00:15:12.960 --> 00:15:16.720
the Talbot party enters into the 
spirit of the event with enthusiasm.

00:15:19.840 --> 00:15:25.840
Dr. Movia shoots the tremendous 
creature and the chase begins.

00:15:32.480 --> 00:15:37.760
Wounded but not yet completely weakened the 
desperate animal charges into the underbrush,  

00:15:38.800 --> 00:15:44.400
leaving the canoes the hunters weighed inland 
cutting away the tangled growth as they go  

00:15:45.280 --> 00:15:54.320
and keeping a sharp lookout for the injured 
animal which is soon discovered and finished off.  

00:15:54.320 --> 00:16:00.400
Bogged down in the hiding place the beast cannot 
be moved until the roots and bass are cut away.

00:16:02.720 --> 00:16:08.720
The men strain to float this dead weight into 
open water prospect of sharing in the feast of  

00:16:08.720 --> 00:16:14.160
hippo meat evoke overwhelming response the 
eagerness of the natives is evident as they  

00:16:14.160 --> 00:16:25.200
struggle to complete the task. To move the 
animal to the home base is not an easy task.  

00:16:26.240 --> 00:16:35.840
Wading in water up to their knees, even the 
members of Dr. Talbot's company do their share.  

00:16:37.360 --> 00:16:40.240
After much strenuous exertion the men are able to  

00:16:40.240 --> 00:16:49.840
move this prize trophy to the place 
where it can be pulled by the boat.

00:16:58.080 --> 00:17:03.840
Excitement runs high as the 
hunting party comes near the shore  

00:17:04.480 --> 00:17:17.840
while the men struggle. The women of the 
tribe stand by to offer helpful suggestions.

00:17:20.560 --> 00:17:25.520
Bright costumes add a splash of color giving 
the scene the appearance of a happy picnic.

00:17:29.200 --> 00:17:34.480
As the meat is cut and distributed, every 
family represented will receive a fair share.  

00:17:36.000 --> 00:17:42.160
The missionaries task is just beginning in 
Africa. Far-flung horizons suggests places  

00:17:42.160 --> 00:17:47.280
yet to be reached for Christ. Around 
this lake are countless thousands of  

00:17:47.280 --> 00:17:53.440
souls to whom the gospel must be preached. In 
order to aid the missionaries the students of  

00:17:53.440 --> 00:17:59.760
the Bible Institute of Los Angeles raised ten 
thousand dollars and purchased a 45-foot vote  

00:17:59.760 --> 00:18:05.600
to be dedicated to the lord as a floating 
mission. Coming for the dedication service  

00:18:05.600 --> 00:18:10.160
Christian nationals express a glad welcome 
in their characteristic rhythmic style.  

00:18:11.280 --> 00:18:17.040
The missionaries of the in mission are on the 
dock to greet Dr. Talbot and Reverend Orrin Smith  

00:18:18.000 --> 00:18:23.920
on this occasion especially all of the Christians 
will share in the joy of this significant hour.  

00:18:24.640 --> 00:18:29.520
The boat is a testimony to the power of 
god and to the thrill of Christian unity.

00:18:31.920 --> 00:18:36.240
Here is the help for which the men and women 
of this mission station have been waiting  

00:18:36.960 --> 00:18:41.840
and it is with glad feeling that 
the choir voices its thanks to God.

00:18:42.755 --> 00:19:07.760
[Singing]

00:19:07.760 --> 00:19:13.760
So on behalf of the students of the Bible 
Institute of Los Angeles, I now present to you  

00:19:14.480 --> 00:19:19.280
this boat which I understand is to be named Biola.

00:19:20.640 --> 00:19:27.520
On behalf of the African Mission I assure you Dr. 
Talbot that we are deeply conscious this moment  

00:19:27.520 --> 00:19:35.120
of the fact that God answers prayer. As men of 
God have seen this great lake and have viewed  

00:19:35.120 --> 00:19:41.760
the many islands they have had a vision of such a 
work as this. A boat to go from island to island  

00:19:41.760 --> 00:19:48.480
carrying the gospel message. Prayer has been very 
definitely made for years by these men of vision  

00:19:48.480 --> 00:19:55.920
that God would supply the boat and the workers. 
Today we see God's answer in a two-fold way:  

00:19:56.560 --> 00:20:04.640
this boat from Biola and the workers for the boat.
How God father thou said in thy word that unless  

00:20:04.640 --> 00:20:11.040
the lord build a house they labor in vain that 
build it and we remember how that the lord has  

00:20:11.040 --> 00:20:18.960
also said without me he can do nothing and so 
we place this boat into thy hands and we pray  

00:20:18.960 --> 00:20:26.720
that thou will use it for thy glory and this 
we ask in Christ's name and for his sake amen. 

00:20:28.640 --> 00:20:33.440
And now as we bring this dedication 
service to our climax we are here at  

00:20:33.440 --> 00:20:40.480
the bow of this boat to officially name it. 
We now christian this beautiful boat: Biola,  

00:20:41.360 --> 00:20:48.000
in appreciation for the gift from the students 
of the Bible Institute of Los Angeles.Soon the  

00:20:48.000 --> 00:20:54.480
Biola will be ready for her mission of redemption 
the African church prayerfully awaits the result.

00:20:58.160 --> 00:21:04.240
Mission work is beset by many evils strong in 
its opposition to the gospel is the power of  

00:21:04.240 --> 00:21:10.400
witchcraft. Dr. Talbot and his party having 
heard that a witch doctor is to perform,  

00:21:10.400 --> 00:21:15.840
make their way to the place 
where the right will be held.

00:21:23.840 --> 00:21:29.120
A little girl suffering from an unknown 
disease is brought protesting from her hut  

00:21:29.120 --> 00:21:34.560
and carried to the holy ground where the ceremony 
is to be performed. The medicine men follow  

00:21:34.560 --> 00:21:38.960
with the religious articles which are used to 
determine the life expectancy of the patient.  

00:21:39.760 --> 00:21:46.560
The moment is a serious one, if the little girl is 
to die then someone in the tribe will be pointed  

00:21:46.560 --> 00:21:52.400
out as the evil source from which this curse has 
come. The service begins with the chanting of a  

00:21:52.400 --> 00:21:58.400
ritual designed to catch the attention of the evil 
spirit so that they may be drawn out of the girl.

00:22:11.040 --> 00:22:15.120
With almost diabolical shouts 
the witch doctor plunges his  

00:22:15.120 --> 00:22:17.600
spear into the neck of the sacrificial ram.

00:22:24.320 --> 00:22:30.720
His assistants prepare to cut it up in the proper 
manner because our minds have been freed by the  

00:22:30.720 --> 00:22:37.840
power of Christ it is impossible for us to imagine 
the tremendous grip which the witch doctor has on  

00:22:37.840 --> 00:22:45.440
the people. Whatever he says these people will 
accept and whatever his judgments they will be  

00:22:45.440 --> 00:22:50.640
received as supernatural. He makes contact 
with the spirit world through offerings and  

00:22:50.640 --> 00:22:59.360
incantations before small grass huts. As the witch 
doctor offers his incantations to these spirits,  

00:22:59.360 --> 00:23:03.760
the assistants continue the preparation 
of the ram until the liver is removed.  

00:23:04.480 --> 00:23:09.680
This is the crucial moment of decision the 
condition of the ram's liver will indicate  

00:23:09.680 --> 00:23:14.720
the judgment which the witch doctor must 
give. Breathlessly the villagers await the  

00:23:14.720 --> 00:23:35.840
verdict and then it comes. The supernatural 
signs indicate that the child will recover.  

00:23:36.880 --> 00:23:41.840
The remains are examined for further clues 
and understanding the supernatural message.  

00:23:42.720 --> 00:23:49.280
Blood has been spilled in a sacrifice made but 
the spirits yet must be appeased. Some of the  

00:23:49.280 --> 00:23:54.960
meat is cooked slightly and after being placed 
in the animal skin is offered to the spirits of  

00:23:54.960 --> 00:24:09.200
the ancestors before the little hut. Approaching 
the abode of the spirits, the witch doctor engages  

00:24:09.200 --> 00:24:22.480
in conversation with them. The intensity of the 
hour increases with mounting speed and excitement  

00:24:22.480 --> 00:24:31.840
as the participants are drawn into the emotional 
fury which the witch doctor is arousing.

00:24:40.080 --> 00:24:44.640
He pretends to offer the doctor some of the 
meat but it is passed over his shoulder  

00:24:44.640 --> 00:24:49.600
to be eaten by the other assistant. This 
is the device to fool the evil spirits  

00:24:50.320 --> 00:24:59.840
as the crescendo of the noise grows the 
witch doctor seems almost possessed.

00:25:09.520 --> 00:25:14.880
Snarling like a wild beast he pounces on some 
vital organs of the slaughter dread and devours  

00:25:14.880 --> 00:25:20.720
them like a half-starved animal. The people on 
the sidelines participate in the feast also.  

00:25:22.000 --> 00:25:27.680
Finally there is an act which seems to parallel 
the ancient Hebrew ceremony of the Passover blood  

00:25:27.680 --> 00:25:34.560
sprinkling. The witch doctor mixes the contents of 
the stomach with water and sprinkles the mixture  

00:25:34.560 --> 00:25:42.000
over the doorway and on the side posts of his 
hut. Paganism has had its hour yet even as Dr.  

00:25:42.000 --> 00:25:48.320
Talbot and his fellow travelers sit transfixed by 
what they have seen, the heralds of the cross rise  

00:25:48.320 --> 00:25:54.160
to meet the challenge here is the magnificent 
opportunity for missionary Dick Dillworth,  

00:25:54.160 --> 00:26:00.800
a graduate of Biola to present the gospel to these 
people of Tanganyika. God is not a being to be  

00:26:00.800 --> 00:26:06.960
worshipped in such a fearful way as this. God will 
take away your fear and make you glad to call him  

00:26:06.960 --> 00:26:13.120
lord of your life. He is a loving heavenly father 
who sent his son to show us how much he cares.  

00:26:13.920 --> 00:26:20.320
For God sent not his son into the world to condemn 
the world but that the world through him might be  

00:26:20.320 --> 00:26:27.840
saved. It is this son the lord Jesus Christ who 
has made all the sacrifice which is necessary.  

00:26:28.720 --> 00:26:34.480
Christ died on a cross so that you may have 
eternal life. He provided atonement for your  

00:26:34.480 --> 00:26:41.360
sin to justify you before a holy God. There 
is no need for further fearful sacrifices.  

00:26:42.160 --> 00:26:47.920
Out of the remains of pagan ritual God's 
messenger lifts the object lesson for his sermon  

00:26:48.640 --> 00:26:54.720
for many of his listeners. His message will 
be new and strange, neither by the blood of  

00:26:54.720 --> 00:27:02.160
goats and cats but by his own blood he that 
is Christ entered in once into the holy place  

00:27:02.160 --> 00:27:08.560
having obtained eternal redemption for us. 
In many such places in Africa the words of  

00:27:08.560 --> 00:27:14.480
the gospel ring out that there is hope for 
Africa's unsaved and that as they await they  

00:27:14.480 --> 00:27:21.120
may hear the message of Christ which will awaken 
them to new and eternal life. Not by faith in  

00:27:21.120 --> 00:27:30.320
animal sacrifices but by faith in Christ who loved 
us and gave himself for us to reconcile us to God.

00:27:33.280 --> 00:27:47.840
