0:00:00.461,0:00:03.063
A jukung is a traditional Indonesian boat.

0:00:03.630,0:00:07.034
The jukung in this story[br]looked like any regular jukung.

0:00:07.534,0:00:09.002
It wasn't a special color.

0:00:09.304,0:00:10.704
It wasn't a special length.

0:00:11.071,0:00:12.673
It didn't have a special engine,

0:00:13.173,0:00:15.776
but it had a special passenger.

0:00:16.610,0:00:18.780
Pastor Eduard saw the jukung arrive

0:00:18.781,0:00:20.180
at the island where he lived.

0:00:20.581,0:00:23.283
He saw government medical workers[br]get off the boat

0:00:23.284,0:00:24.485
and visit his village.

0:00:25.252,0:00:28.288
Then he saw the medical workers[br]preparing to leave on the jukung.

0:00:28.789,0:00:30.123
He asked where they were going

0:00:30.124,0:00:32.093
and learned[br]that they were traveling to an island

0:00:32.094,0:00:33.260
where he wanted to go.

0:00:34.095,0:00:37.432
On the island, lived[br]three Seventh-day Adventist families

0:00:37.433,0:00:39.233
who didn't have their own church.

0:00:39.733,0:00:41.369
They also didn't have their own boats

0:00:41.370,0:00:43.270
to travel to an island with a church.

0:00:43.904,0:00:45.373
They met in one of their homes

0:00:45.374,0:00:46.773
to worship on Sabbath,

0:00:47.274,0:00:49.476
but now, it was the end of the quarter,

0:00:49.710,0:00:52.779
and they wanted Pastor Eduard[br]to come and worship with them.

0:00:53.614,0:00:55.883
Pastor Eduard didn't have[br]a boat of his own,

0:00:56.149,0:00:57.718
so he asked the medical workers

0:00:57.719,0:00:59.186
if he could travel with them

0:00:59.187,0:01:00.888
on their jukung to the island.

0:01:01.422,0:01:04.625
They agreed,[br]and the jukung set off Friday afternoon.

0:01:07.694,0:01:10.531
The jukung sped[br]across the surface of the water.

0:01:11.064,0:01:13.867
The wind felt good[br]on Pastor Eduard's face.

0:01:14.368,0:01:16.637
He looked forward[br]to worshiping with the villagers,

0:01:16.971,0:01:18.872
but then a storm struck.

0:01:19.439,0:01:21.008
The rain fell hard.

0:01:21.341,0:01:23.277
The wind blew fiercely,

0:01:23.545,0:01:26.380
but the boat kept speeding[br]through the rough waters.

0:01:29.149,0:01:31.762
Suddenly, the "vroom" stopped.

0:01:32.787,0:01:34.354
The engine fell silent.

0:01:35.155,0:01:37.257
Pastor Eduard and the medical workers

0:01:37.258,0:01:39.560
and the boat captain[br]looked at one another.

0:01:40.227,0:01:42.630
All they could hear[br]was the pounding of the rain

0:01:42.631,0:01:44.031
and the howling of the wind.

0:01:44.865,0:01:46.500
The boat captain yanked on a cord

0:01:46.501,0:01:48.068
to try to restart the engine.

0:01:48.836,0:01:49.870
Nothing happened.

0:01:50.203,0:01:51.305
He tried again.

0:01:51.572,0:01:53.140
Yank! Yank!

0:01:53.775,0:01:54.908
Nothing happened.

0:01:55.642,0:01:58.312
The jukung stopped speeding[br]across the water.

0:01:59.046,0:02:01.682
Now it was at the mercy[br]of the wind and the waves.

0:02:02.382,0:02:05.419
It tossed back and forth[br]like a cork in the water.

0:02:06.186,0:02:08.555
An hour passed, then two hours,

0:02:08.890,0:02:10.223
three hours,

0:02:10.224,0:02:11.825
four hours.

0:02:13.293,0:02:15.362
The medical workers were scared.

0:02:15.662,0:02:16.897
All were crying.

0:02:17.598,0:02:20.601
They had heard stories[br]about boats sinking in storms,

0:02:20.834,0:02:23.170
and they were afraid[br]that they were going to die.

0:02:24.104,0:02:26.440
One woman who wasn't a Christian

0:02:26.673,0:02:28.876
remembered that Pastor Eduard[br]was a Christian

0:02:28.876,0:02:30.377
who believed in Jesus,

0:02:30.544,0:02:32.980
and she begged him to pray for the jukung.

0:02:34.381,0:02:37.117
At that moment,[br]Pastor Eduard heard a voice.

0:02:37.618,0:02:39.953
The voice was soft and gentle,

0:02:40.587,0:02:43.490
yet he could hear it[br]above the roar of the rain and wind.

0:02:44.057,0:02:46.059
It said, "Tell the boat captain

0:02:46.060,0:02:48.350
to connect the fuel hose[br]to the other fuel tank.

0:02:49.863,0:02:51.820
On the jukung were two fuel tanks,

0:02:52.065,0:02:53.367
a regular fuel tank

0:02:53.668,0:02:55.802
and a backup fuel tank for emergencies.

0:02:56.269,0:02:58.855
The tanks provided fuel[br]for the boat engine to run.

0:02:59.706,0:03:02.175
Pastor Eduard was surprised[br]to hear the voice,

0:03:02.542,0:03:03.710
but he didn't argue.

0:03:04.044,0:03:06.046
He felt like he had to obey.

0:03:06.947,0:03:09.049
Even though he didn't know[br]anything about boats,

0:03:09.516,0:03:12.152
he went to the captain[br]and told him to remove the fuel hose

0:03:12.153,0:03:13.487
from the regular fuel tank

0:03:13.820,0:03:15.840
and connect it to the backup fuel tank.

0:03:16.456,0:03:19.760
The captain had already tried connecting[br]the hose to the backup fuel tank,

0:03:20.260,0:03:21.662
but he didn't argue.

0:03:22.129,0:03:24.398
He also felt like he had to obey.

0:03:25.332,0:03:28.135
He immediately pulled the hose out[br]of the regular fuel tank

0:03:28.403,0:03:30.215
and connected it to the backup tank.

0:03:31.938,0:03:34.676
Then Pastor Eduard called[br]the captain and medical workers

0:03:34.677,0:03:36.943
to join him in praying to Jesus.

0:03:37.678,0:03:39.347
The medical workers stopped crying

0:03:39.348,0:03:42.082
as they strained their ears[br]to listen to the prayer.

0:03:43.150,0:03:44.251
"Lord Jesus,

0:03:44.852,0:03:47.287
our lives really are[br]in Your hands of mercy,"

0:03:47.288,0:03:48.422
the pastor prayed.

0:03:48.789,0:03:49.923
"Your will be done."

0:03:50.724,0:03:52.159
Then he turned to the captain.

0:03:52.626,0:03:54.095
"Start the engine," he said.

0:03:55.529,0:03:58.665
The captain pulled the cord[br]to restart the outboard engine.

0:03:59.133,0:04:00.167
Yank!

0:04:01.034,0:04:02.536
A split second passed

0:04:02.537,0:04:04.471
and the engine sprang to life.

0:04:07.474,0:04:08.742
All the medical workers,

0:04:08.944,0:04:11.211
including the woman[br]who didn't believe in Jesus,

0:04:11.212,0:04:13.181
exclaimed at the same time,

0:04:13.182,0:04:14.514
"Praise the Lord!"

0:04:15.248,0:04:16.483
The rain didn't stop

0:04:16.484,0:04:18.552
and the wind didn't die down,

0:04:18.952,0:04:20.587
but the engine kept roaring

0:04:20.888,0:04:23.290
and the jukung reached the island safely.

0:04:24.024,0:04:26.928
The medical workers immediately told[br]everyone on the island

0:04:26.928,0:04:28.961
that Jesus had saved their lives.

0:04:30.797,0:04:33.667
The Sabbath was an extra special day[br]for Pastor Eduard.

0:04:33.967,0:04:35.836
Not only did he worship on the island,

0:04:36.036,0:04:39.239
but he also had[br]his own special mission story to tell.
