00:25 Welcome to 3ABN's Fall Camp Meeting,
00:28 Homecoming 2009. Featuring inspired messages 00:33 from your 3ABN Family. 00:39 Along with uplifting Christian music 00:41 all to prepare your heart for the coming of the Lord. 00:48 Well good evening and welcome back to 3ABN's 00:51 worship center for the final service of this great 00:55 camp meeting. We got two hours tonight 00:58 and a lot of music, we got a great sermon online 01:01 with C.A. Murray and we are just really looking forward 01:05 to being with you tonight at this final camp meeting 01:09 service for 2009 fall camp meeting and Danny, 01:15 it's been a great time hasn't it? 01:16 It has been a good time, I asked C.A. just a while ago 01:19 I said these guys give such great sermons, 01:22 they've all skinned me alive a little bit. 01:24 I have to go home and rededication and regroup, 01:27 I said, could you take it easy on me a little bit tonight. 01:30 He said just bring me some Neosporin if you need to. 01:33 Something like that, I love it, I've actually, 01:37 absolutely being blessed, haven't you been blessed 01:39 by all that. Amen. The ministry and not only 01:41 the music but I mean the preaching of the word, 01:43 all of them, everyone of them, I still tell the guys 01:46 with Shelly everybody involved tonight. 01:48 That's right. What a blessing to have these kind 01:50 of people here in this one facility that's able to share 01:55 what God has put on their hearts 01:56 to a lost and dying world. 01:57 I don't think a single camp meeting has gone by that 02:00 somebody has come up to me and said, 02:02 Molly you know this is the best one yet? Yeah. 02:04 And I really believe that God's presence 02:07 is strong here, Amen. And every year it gets 02:09 better and better. Amen. 02:11 So, it's truly the best one yet? 02:13 Yes, absolutely. Because we've had so many people come by 02:17 and say that very thing I have, and I know 02:20 you have Danny and it's just been a tremendous thing 02:24 to be together and to have this time. 02:27 And I think it probably here at the home 02:29 coming camp meeting we've had a little more time 02:32 somehow to visit with the folks and to have that 02:36 fellowship with each other and we're just 02:39 so happy for that. Aren't you John? 02:41 Praise the Lord. Amen. 02:43 You know I'd like to issue all of you an invitation 02:45 to come to our spring camp meeting the end of May. 02:48 It's going to be a bit different this year. 02:51 It's not going to be connected with the 02:53 Ten Commandments weekend. We're gonna have our spring 02:56 camp meeting but it's going to be a pillars weekend. 03:00 Where what we do is different ministries 03:03 in the church are going to take the tenets of the 03:06 Adventist faith and they are going to teach on them. 03:09 It's going to be powerful, it's going to be, 03:13 going to be back, to back, to back, 03:16 to back just like we do the Ten Commandments 03:18 weekends. Amen. But we are going to do 03:19 a different tenets that make our faith strong. Amen. 03:24 They have been working on the music 03:25 for the Pillars project and Bobby Bradley, 03:28 our engineers from Nashville and he said 03:30 you all misspelled Pillars you put an R on the end of it. 03:38 Well, I tell you it's, it's a tremendous project 03:41 and we are all excited about it. 03:42 Last night I sat with family and we listened to the music 03:47 and we just praise the Lord with that music. 03:51 And this just a rough cut that we are listening to, 03:53 it's not all entirely put together Bobby let me borrow 03:56 a copy and we did receive such a blessing from it. 04:00 And I know that you are going to all be blessed 04:04 by this music. Okay, we are gonna have 04:08 a prayer and a theme song, which one you want 04:10 to do first? Well, Molly is gonna pray for us 04:12 and then we will do. Let's do that. Alright. 04:14 Holy Father, we come before you in the name of Jesus 04:17 and Father we are so grateful that you have graced us 04:19 once again with your Holy presence. Now Father tonight 04:23 we open up our hearts to you and we ask Lord 04:26 that as the music comes forth, as your word comes forth, 04:29 that you'll plant that word deep within our hearts. 04:31 Father, we don't want to leave here the way we came in. 04:35 We want to be changed by the power of your spirit 04:37 and the power of your word into your very image 04:40 and into your likeness, so Lord we yield to you, 04:42 we submit our lives to you in Jesus name. Amen. Amen. 04:57 Just over the mountains in the Promised Land, 05:03 Lies the Holy City built by God's own hand; 05:09 As our weary footsteps gain the mountain's crest, 05:15 We can view our homeland of eternal rest. 05:22 We are nearing home! We are nearing home! 05:32 See the splendor gleaming from the domes afar! 05:38 See the glory streaming thru' the gates ajar! 05:43 There we soon will enter, never to roam; 05:50 Hear the angels singing! We are nearing home! 05:59 We are nearing home! 06:10 My brother, my sister, Will you meet us there, 06:16 In that land of sunshine Where there'll be no care? 06:22 Accept of God's message And to Him be true; 06:29 Then when Jesus cometh He will call for you. 06:36 We are nearing home! We are nearing home! 06:46 See the splendor gleaming from the domes afar! 06:51 See the glory streaming thru' the gates ajar! 06:56 There we soon will enter, never more to roam; 07:05 Hear the angels singing! We are nearing home! 07:13 We are nearing home! 07:24 And we are nearing home! Amen. 07:30 I believe that Christ is coming soon. Amen. 07:31 Amen. Don't you Danny? I really do. 07:34 And we have a great message to share with the world 07:37 and I don't believe there is any, any medium 07:41 that is stronger than radio and television 07:45 for reaching out, Amen. Going beyond the doors, 07:48 you know we talk about knocking on people's doors 07:50 they are so many cities today where people 07:53 will not open a door. They won't let you in, 07:56 if they don't know you, you don't have an appointment, 07:59 they don't know who is coming 08:00 they will not open that door. But television and radio 08:05 goes beyond the door. Radio even gets them in 08:08 the car when they're driving down the road 08:10 and they're listening on the radio and television 08:13 in some of these cities like New York city 08:16 and some of the others reaches back beyond these 08:19 gated communities and even these gated apartments 08:24 where people are able to sit in the comfort of their home 08:27 and see and hear the truths of God's word. 08:33 It's wonderful isn't? But Danny it takes money 08:35 doesn't it? It sure does. 08:37 And I was thinking you know where else could you be 08:40 that where people have actually come up to me today 08:42 and I'm sure you guys too and said well 08:44 where can we give our money, when you gonna take up 08:46 an offering. You know so many times 08:48 we go to church and it seem like they take up an offering 08:50 all the time and so this is tonight is not only for 08:53 our folks here who didn't have a chance 08:55 to give already but for, especially for our folks 08:58 at home and so we appreciate your love and your prayers 09:01 and financial support of 3ABN and we are asking that 09:05 you pray and ask the Holy Spirit what he would 09:07 have you to do as your part of getting the three angels 09:11 messages to the world and helping those that 09:13 on the frontlines taking this message around the world 09:16 because we believe that the three angels messages 09:18 must go unto all the world, Revelation 18 09:21 and the earth will be lightened with the glory of God. 09:23 Amen. Then Jesus will come back, 09:25 and in an order to get this Gospel to the world 09:28 it does take a sacrifice, but you know what in the end 09:32 the every first movement of eternity 09:34 will be worth everything we ever had to go through 09:36 here right. Amen. Amen. 09:38 Well, how many of you really appreciated the testimony 09:41 that John Dinsley gave us, I believe it was yesterday, 09:45 of all that the Latino Network is doing, 09:48 the far reaches of that. Latino is one of our children, 09:52 it's part of this ministry. How many of you appreciated 09:55 what Julia Hood can have shared, Amen, 09:57 with what's going on over in Russia 09:59 and did you appreciate Kid's Time this morning. Amen. 10:02 It's everyone of those are part of this ministry, 10:05 they're like our babies. 3ABN is the mother, 10:10 and if you don't have a healthy mother 10:11 then you're not going to have healthy children 10:13 and you see each one of these ministries. 10:16 They're healthy, they're vital, they're very effective, 10:20 they're, the Kids time ministry, that Ms. Brenda 10:24 and Linda and Cinda work with. Those ministries 10:27 are touching children and droving children 10:30 out of darkness and into light. 10:31 They are preparing a generation that is going to come up 10:35 behind us that are ready to proclaim the Gospel 10:38 and carry this message, but that Kids Time programming 10:43 needs a healthy mom. So, we've got to keep 3ABN healthy 10:47 so the children will be remain healthy 10:49 and what John Dinsley shares of where this Latino network, 10:53 do you know it is continually growing and going, 10:56 they put us to shame, haven't they Danny. Amen. 10:58 They are going on different cable systems, 11:00 whole nations are receiving 3ABN Latino 11:05 in our Spanish speaking parts of the world. 11:08 So, this ministry is very healthy, alive and vital, 11:11 but we have to keep our foundation healthy, 11:14 alive and vital. So, that the other ministries 11:17 will be able to be productive as well. Amen. 11:19 That's right. And you know the amazing thing 11:21 about a ministry like this is we are really effected 11:27 by the economy. There is no getting around it, 11:30 we have in the past have had a number of people 11:33 who were able to give large gifts and help support 11:37 this ministry in a very strong way. 11:39 However you know the economy hits those 11:42 with larger means more than it hits those of us 11:45 who have a regular salaries, as long as we keep our job 11:49 when something like that has happened with Wall Street 11:52 and with the banks, that doesn't really affect us 11:55 directly as much as it does sometimes 11:58 those with the larger giving potential. 12:01 So, right now we have really dependent on those 12:06 who have been the regular givers. 12:08 The thousand dollar a month and they are a quite 12:10 a few of those 500, 200, 100, $50, $10, 12:15 whatever God blesses you with and you're able 12:19 to continue giving to 3ABN. Please remember that 12:23 this ministry really counts on you. 12:26 Something Danny that you have shared for as long as 12:30 I've know anything about this ministry 12:32 it is the little ladies and the little gentlemen 12:35 that are on fixed income, that sacrifices those 12:38 $5 a month, $10 a month, that is the backbone 12:42 of this ministry. So, don't ever think 12:44 that wherever you send isn't brightly appreciated 12:47 and that it doesn't do a mighty work for the kingdom 12:50 of the God, together as we come together, 12:52 we are able to accomplish. Amen. 12:54 Great things for God but it takes all of us 12:56 pulling together. Amen. Now, that was our big 12:59 offering appeal that wasn't bad for the whole weekend 13:02 being here about take three minutes, 13:03 is that alright. Okay, because we want to keep 13:06 our focus on where we've been all along 13:08 this is to help us be able to focus 13:10 and go into all the world, but our focus 13:12 has being on Jesus. Amen. And we want to keep it there 13:14 and on the message continuing to go out 13:17 and in times messages for an in times people 13:19 and undiluted three angels messages if you were 13:22 one that would counteract the counterfeit. 13:24 Thank you for your love, your prayers and support. Amen. 13:28 Now this ministry, speaking of music. 13:29 Right now, Emily Felts Jones is going to be 13:32 singing for you, Even in the Dark. 13:40 It was fitting I think that Jesus was born at night 13:42 because this world is a dark and lonely place 13:45 without him. Even as he hung upon the cross 13:48 he was surrounded by a darkness so deep 13:51 that he couldn't see beyond the portholes of the tomb. 13:54 So, he understands our darkness, those times 13:57 when we become so depressed that we can't see the light 14:00 for whatever reason. Even David said 14:04 if I say surely the darkness shall fall upon me, 14:08 even the night shall be light about me. 14:10 For the darkness cannot hide from you. 14:14 He can always find his brothers and sisters, 14:16 even in our blackest night, even in our deepest despair, 14:20 he can always find us, Hallelujah. Even in the dark. 14:40 Shadows fall across the walls of my cold empty heart. 14:48 Night settles in. 14:51 Cold as stone and all alone, I wait here in the dark, 14:58 A prisoner again. Holding pieces of the past. 15:05 The fairytales that didn't last. 15:09 I tried to hide my heartache from your view. 15:16 But it's only me that can't see you. 15:24 'Cause even in the dark, you found me. 15:31 I felt it when you touched my heart. 15:38 But even with your arms around me, 15:45 It's hard to see just where you are. 15:51 So through the shadows, through the night, 15:55 You came running with a light. 15:59 Bringing hope to me, so that I could see you, 16:07 Even in the dark. 16:22 Hard and fast, I'm running past the places in my heart 16:29 That make me afraid. 16:32 And though I try and close my eyes, 16:36 I still know where they are, And I can't get away. 16:43 But just before all hope is gone, 16:47 I look up and see the dawn, 16:50 Piercing like a knife into the gloom. Hallelujah. 16:57 Shining light into this darkened tomb. 17:06 Even in the dark, you found me. 17:10 I felt it when you touched my heart. 17:21 But even with your arms around me, 17:26 It's still hard to see just where you are. 17:33 So through the shadows, through the night, 17:37 You came running with a light. 17:42 Bringing hope to me, so that I could see you, 17:49 Even in the dark. 17:56 There's no night so black, There's no place too deep, 18:03 Where I can go, for you can always See to reach for me! 18:12 Even in the dark, you found me. 18:18 Yes Lord I felt it when you touched my heart. 18:27 'Cause even with your arms around me, 18:33 Sometimes it's hard to see just where you are. 18:40 But through the shadows, through the night, 18:45 You came running with a light. 18:49 Bringing hope to me, so that I could see you, 18:57 Even in the dark. Even in the dark. 19:21 Amen. Hallelujah for that, Hallelujah. 19:26 This morning I don't know if you all heard those children 19:30 this morning was not that inspiring? Yes. 19:35 And I particularly liked the blue grass group. 19:39 Weren't they wonderful? Well you know what? 19:42 I had one of those in my bag and I pulled it out, 19:44 a blue grass number and I dusted it off and thought 19:46 I share it with you tonight and it's a old one, 19:50 wayfaring stranger, you may know it, 19:53 hundreds of people have recorded it 19:55 and if you wanna sing along you feel free. 19:58 Wayfaring stranger. 20:08 I am a poor wayfaring stranger 20:16 Traveling through this world below 20:23 There is no sickness, toil or danger 20:29 In that fairyland to which I go 20:38 I'm going home To see my father 20:46 I'm going home No more to roam 20:53 I am just going over Jordan I am just going over home 21:09 And I know dark clouds may gather around me, 21:23 And I know my way is rough and steep 21:31 But golden fields lie just before me 21:38 Where weary deep, that's you and me, no more shall weep 21:46 'Cause I'm going home to see my father 21:53 I'm going home, no more to roam 22:01 I am just going over Jordan 22:09 I am just going over home 22:19 You know the scripture says there is a river 22:22 whose stream shall make glad the city of the God 22:24 and I wanna go there. How about you? 22:27 I wanna be there. While we are on this side 22:31 of the Jordan we don't have that long 22:33 until we cross over and if we don't see each other 22:37 before that day comes let's meet up there, 22:40 you want to? And so I saw you when. 22:46 And I am going there to see my father 22:53 I am going there no more to roam 23:02 I am just going over Jordan I am just going over home 23:16 I am just going over home 23:28 Hallelujah. Praise God. Amen. 23:36 Thank you, Emily. 23:37 You know, over the years I think that you have seen 23:43 the quality of 3ABN's production really go up 23:46 haven't you? The picture. Haven't you noticed it? 23:50 Well, the man who is largely to be thanked for 23:54 that is Moses Primo. Jesus Christ. That's right, 23:58 we thank the Lord, but the Lord sent Moses here. 24:01 And Danny will tell you that when Moses came here 24:05 it was the direct intervention of the Lord 24:07 that brought him here. And there is no question about it. 24:10 And the Lord has kept him here and it is just 24:14 a real honor to work with Moses. 24:16 And Moses, we have some real fantastic 24:19 opportunities right now, would you share some 24:21 of those with us. 24:22 Sure, Jim I also like to tell the viewers 24:26 not only the ones that are here but everyone 24:29 that is watching tonight or listening through the radios 24:32 that we are very good stewards of the money 24:36 that the Lord entrust on us and some people 24:41 have received this news about application 24:45 for a new construction permits and for downlink stations. 24:50 And some of them said why we are still building 24:54 downlink stations when we have dish network, 24:57 we have all these satellites, we have the Internet 25:00 and I want to just explain to you that 25:05 there is still a very good reason and very good market 25:09 for downlink stations, as a matter of fact, 25:11 Jimmie can testify for that, we received a lot of comments. 25:16 A lot of praise reports, a lot of testimonies 25:19 of people that have come to the church through 25:22 watching 3ABN via a downlink station. 25:26 So, this is another way, I am not saying 25:30 this is the only way but it's just another way 25:32 that we are using to preach the gospel 25:35 and we are maximizing all the ways that we can to reach. 25:40 So, no matter where they are and how they receive 25:44 the message. So, it has been nine years 25:48 that FCC have closed the applications 25:52 for downlink stations but in August of this year. 25:55 The 25th of August they open for applications 26:00 to mainly through the small cities 26:04 and then in January of next year they're gonna open 26:07 for all of the United States. Even the large cities 26:09 like Chicago and New York and large cities 26:13 that right now are closed for new applications 26:16 they will open in the beginning of the year. 26:19 So, I want to praise the Lord for that opportunity 26:22 and encourage everyone that have a desire 26:25 to put a downlink stations to still invest 26:30 in this way of preaching the Gospel 26:32 because it is very positive and a very efficient 26:37 way to reach souls. And the proof of that 26:41 is that we just announced that in the beginning 26:44 of the month of August and we had a lot of people 26:48 that were interested and we apply for so far 26:52 for 22 different cities that, and these people 26:58 got together, they all lay people and they raised 27:02 the funds to not only to apply but they're promising 27:06 to raise the funds to actually buy the equipment 27:08 and build the TV stations and all that the 3ABN 27:11 has to do is provided their programming 27:16 and help with the engineering department 27:19 and we wanna say a special thanks to Ben Peake, 27:23 he is one of our engineers and Cynthia also, 27:25 they have been extremely busy, sometimes we don't go home. 27:30 Especially in the week of August 25th 27:33 we didn't go home until like 8 O'clock at night 27:35 because they were so many applications 27:38 coming in and another way to prove that 27:42 this is not a outdated preaching way, 27:46 is that there has been more than 1500 new applications 27:51 of just since August 25th until now. 27:55 So, there is a lot of people applying for other reasons 27:58 but there is still a lot of people, another good thing 28:00 about this is that all these stations 28:03 are going to be digital and being digital 28:06 what we do, we just divide the frequency 28:09 and we can put four channels into one frequency, 28:48 so for instance here, near our headquarters 28:49 we have a TV station in Johnson City. 28:50 So, in Johnson City we used to have an analog way 28:51 only one channel, 3ABN English. 28:52 Now when we convert to digital we have 3ABN English 28:53 in channel number one or 15:1 and then we have 15:2 28:54 we have 3ABN Latino and that we have the 3ABN radio 28:55 and we are working on getting the sun beam 28:56 and one fourth station. So, we can put four channels 28:57 in one frequency, so it's a very efficient way 28:58 of preaching the Gospel. 28:59 We are looking for all the opportunities that 29:00 are out there to preach the Gospel. 29:01 We started 25 years ago with the analog satellite dishes 29:05 and that was at that time the best way. 29:08 And in the year 2000 we convert to digital 29:10 and then we increased from one satellite to two 29:14 and then later on three and then now we are fulfilling 29:19 the promise of preaching the gospel all around the world. 29:22 Now with 11 satellites and it's not only satellites, 29:27 we are increasing with cable companies 29:30 they are broadcasting 3ABN more and more. 29:32 We are increasing with the dish network that accepted 29:37 to take 3ABN as one of their channels 29:40 and we also exploring IPTV. 29:44 IPTV is a tremendous opportunity to preach 29:47 the gospel, because they're still, the restriction 29:52 of having a satellite dish and in large cities 29:56 like New York and LA and this cities. 29:59 You can really put a satellite dish on the balcony 30:02 or in apartment buildings and IPTV is the way 30:06 that they can get and resolve that problem 30:08 because with the small box you can access the Internet, 30:12 you are able to receive all these channels, 30:14 so, there is no more restriction. 30:16 So, we are exploring that way, 30:17 we are contacting some other IPTV companies 30:21 and we are working on Trinidad and Tobago, 30:24 that this gonna have a IPTV system 30:26 and they're gonna carry 3ABN. 30:28 And we, about a three months ago 30:31 we receive a visit from three pastors from South Korea. 30:35 They came and they said we need to have all the 3ABN 30:40 programs that we want to translate in Korea language 30:44 because we're gonna start a IPTV service 30:47 that will serve the entire country of Korea 30:50 and IPTV is very used and very developed in Korea. 30:55 So, they're taking our programs right now 30:57 and translating to the Korean language. 31:00 Also, we got a visit of two laypeople from Singapore, 31:07 one was a pastor and other one was a businessman 31:10 and after we talked to them and explained to them 31:14 and show them 3ABN, they were so excited 31:18 that they came back, they form a ASI chapter 31:22 in Singapore and they brought more laypeople 31:27 that had the same vision and that they created 31:32 a organization NGO called Maranatha. 31:36 And they are building a media center 31:39 where they are going to translate 3ABN's programming 31:43 to different languages Indonesia. 31:45 Now only they want that they use at most 31:49 but even the small dialects that they want to reach many, 31:53 many different population Indonesian. 31:56 I want to show you some pictures 31:57 because pictures now can described a thousand words. 32:00 And here is some pictures of the building, 32:03 they just start a few months ago 32:05 but you can see, they're already on the second floor, 32:07 it's every exciting to know that 32:11 they are moving forward and this media center 32:14 is located in Bandung, Indonesia, 32:18 is near by the Seventh-day Adventist University 32:22 in the Indonesia. So, we praise the Lord 32:24 for what they are doing, they are supposed to finish 32:27 building in November and start operation in April 32:31 of next year and not only they're going to translate 32:34 the 3ABN programming but they want to send 32:37 some of the young people to come to Illinois 32:40 to learn a little bit about production and produce 32:42 their own programming there, just the way that 32:44 they're doing in Russia and you saw the Russian report 32:47 this morning was really exciting. So, we are exploring 32:53 different local areas of broadcasting 3ABN. 32:58 We also continue to build TV stations overseas, 33:02 not only here in United States but also overseas 33:06 we build a television station in Papua New Guinea. 33:10 Port Moresby is the capital and now people are writing 33:14 and saying why only Port Moresby. 33:16 We want to have in our cities too. 33:18 So we move ahead and we are going to build 33:22 a TV station in a city called Lae, 33:26 which is the second largest city in the country 33:30 and we already have the funds, praise the Lord for Jim, 33:34 we don't want to worry about that one. 33:36 We have already all the money that we'll need 33:38 and we actually already ordered the equipment 33:42 and we are just waiting for the equipment to arrive 33:44 and we also waiting for a lease 33:47 for this transmitting site. Unfortunately there is a lot 33:51 of red tape in that country and it has been 33:54 a little difficult, but we just asked that you pray 33:57 with us that this transmitted site 34:00 will be released soon. So, we would be able to start 34:03 broadcasting in the City of Lae. 34:08 We are moving also ahead with the project in Ghana. 34:12 I just wanna tell our friends in Ghana 34:14 don't give up we are still trust that the 34:18 Lord will open the ways for us to get a transmitter site. 34:21 We don't have the funds yet but we have the license 34:25 and we are moving ahead that we will be able 34:28 to build that television's station very soon. 34:35 We are also very excited with 3ABN NGO in Australia, 34:41 John and Rosemary already gave some of this reports 34:44 but we are very blessed and very thankful to the Lord 34:47 because we were able to pay for, 34:51 it's all paid for Jim. The land that we purchase 34:56 there in the city called Morisset and we had to pay 35:01 $25,000 just to pull a construction permit. 35:05 So we pay that and we file construction permit. 35:10 John Malkiewycz drew the block diagram 35:17 and the drawings for the media center 35:18 and we are building a very good and efficient 35:22 media center there without much delay, 35:27 hopefully next year we will be able to start that 35:29 media center also. As you can see 35:32 we are looking in much different directions 35:35 for instance, Internet. 35:37 Internet is another way that we wanted to develop 35:40 even further what we are doing, 35:42 we have a website that we stream there, 35:48 we have it stream also in the MoPCWeb 35:51 and we got like around 8-10,000 hits 35:56 on just on Friday and Saturday, 35:58 not counting during the week. 36:00 So, there is a lot of people that are watching 36:03 just by using the Internet not only here in United States 36:08 but all over the world, we can look at the IP addresses 36:14 where the people are connecting from 36:16 and we don't exactly what location but at least tell us 36:20 what country and they is a long list for many different 36:24 countries that are connecting to our 36:28 broadcast and watching 3ABN. 36:31 And I just wanna share with you, 36:33 and you don't have to worry about this one 36:36 either Jim and I tell you this because 36:39 Jim is still getting acquainted with 36:44 their operations of 3ABN, that Danny 36:48 was already used to. Once Moses come 36:51 and all that means a lot of money. 36:52 But I can tell that the all the money that 36:56 we spend is well invested, as a matter of fact, 36:59 just a proof that we just last week, 37:03 we had some employees that were complaining 37:06 that their computers were so slow 37:09 and we went to check and their computers 37:11 were purchased like ten years ago. 37:13 And this doesn't happened in any business, 37:17 normally in after two years or even after three years 37:20 you just replace your computer, because 37:22 your computer is so outdated but we have 37:25 computers at 3ABN that are about 10 years old 37:29 we have cameras that are 12 to 14 years old. 37:33 And we are in the process of changing some of those 37:36 cameras to the new digital cameras 37:38 that will be able to match the other signals 37:43 that are out there. They have high definitions. 37:46 So, I am not even gonna tell you about 37:48 high definition yet because I want Jim to 37:50 be alive and I am not going to tell him 37:55 the cost of high definition. But the other thing that 38:00 I was mentioning is that we are working on, 38:03 the engineering department is working on a 38:05 system that would be the next step 38:08 beyond the IPTV. 38:10 We gonna combine, you see IPTV 38:14 we use the box that you connected the box 38:17 to your television set and the computer, 38:20 you stream by using your computer screen 38:23 and you can watch your programs. 38:26 And there is always people that like the box 38:30 because they like the bigger TV set 38:32 and they are people that like the computers, 38:35 so what we are looking to do is try to combine 38:38 the functions of both systems and offer something 38:42 that would be available to both worlds or 38:48 for both type of people that wanna watch it. 38:50 And this system, I can tell you that 38:53 they are already over 30 million people 38:56 already connected in this system. 38:59 So, when we start 3ABN in this system 39:02 we are ready to start with a potential to reach 39:05 30 million people, so we just praise the Lord 39:08 for to what he's doing on the engineering department, 39:11 there is lot of new technology they we have 39:13 to keep up with. We praise him for giving us 39:18 the direction and I do believe that all this technology 39:22 is made available because there is a need to reach souls 39:26 and no matter if it is from downlink stations 39:30 and the old analog way or in the new digital way 39:34 or dish network, satellite dishes, IPTV, 39:38 cable system, whatever way we can 39:41 get to give the message that Jesus 39:44 is coming soon and that we need to be read 39:47 to see him face to face, that's our goal 39:50 and that's what we are trying to do 39:51 with engineering, no matter how much it costs there. Amen. 39:56 The Lord, the Lord provides the way, 39:59 and he uses these folks to do it 40:02 and you know the digital conversions, 40:06 we have how many stations do you we have? 40:08 We have about 14 already that we converted. 40:12 Alright and out of 120 or so. Yes. 40:15 I was in Jacksonville a few weeks ago, 40:18 those people are raising money in order to pay 40:23 for that digital conversion and we are hoping that, 40:27 that they are able to do that pretty soon. 40:29 And they had some questions for instance 40:32 will this give them better coverage 40:34 when they do, do convert. Right. Will it? 40:36 Yes, Actually what happens for instance a case 40:40 in point here in Johnson City. I have people 40:43 that have come to me and said, wow, 40:44 I couldn't watch the channel 15 before 40:47 and now I am able to watch. Alright. 40:49 What happens is that they analog signal 40:51 and only have just minute for you to explain this, 40:54 I will try to make it quick. The analog signal 40:58 travels in the different way then the digital. 41:01 So, before with an analog signal you could get 41:05 in places that the signal was not strong enough 41:08 and it was kind of noisy but it was still going 41:12 and the digital signal is different, it's either zero 41:17 or one, you know for you to understand 41:19 the digital technology. It's either zero or one so, 41:23 either you have a very good picture or 41:25 you don't have anything at all. So people are just amazed 41:30 to see the quality of the 3ABN picture. 41:33 The other factors that everything that we 41:36 produce here, we produce already in the 15 megabits 41:39 which is very high standard, so when we put that 41:43 good resolution into a digital system people can 41:47 see the difference before and after 41:50 and that's what makes the difference also 41:52 the way that the digital signal travels is different 41:56 and in a lot of cases we are able to actually 41:59 increase the power for the last transmitting 42:02 power we are getting more coverage. 42:05 Wow, so in addition of that of course they get the 42:08 additional channels. More channels, yes. 42:10 And radio is gonna be growing, we hope to see 42:13 radio is on 120 outlets. That's right. 42:16 And as well these televisions. 42:18 Do you have anything else to tell for us. No, 42:20 I don't have, I am done. Well, he's gone 42:24 through quicker than we thought he would, 42:26 I tell you this is a wonderful fellow. 42:30 We appreciate Moses Primo so much. 42:33 And his technical ability is only exceeded 42:38 by his devotion to the Lord and savior Christ. 42:41 Amen. He loves the Lord, he wants to see the message, 42:45 he was drawing a large salary with a large broadcasting firm 42:51 and then he felt the call to come here, he felt it more 42:54 than once and he said no and then the Lord 42:57 just made it very emphatic to him that's 42:59 what he was supposed to do. 43:00 And I will tell you that he has made a great 43:05 difference in our quality. I was talking to a 43:07 television executive this past week 43:09 and this executive said to me, 3ABN's quality is superb 43:15 and then he said something he said in fact the 3ABN 43:20 picture is better than many network's high definition 43:25 picture and that's what he said. 43:27 So, that was really encouraging to me. 43:31 I believe God is leading and we take one step at a time, 43:35 you notice that he looks at me when he's spending money, 43:36 nobody can spend more money than Moses and I. 43:42 I will tell you that and I'm glad that the Lord 43:47 send him here. But the Lord had to send some 43:49 providers in order to make it, but I will say 43:53 this that nobody is more careful with God's money 43:57 than Moses at the same time. In fact he squeezes 44:01 the green out of the dollar. And if you see any white 44:06 dollars floating around it means that Moses got hold 44:10 of them because he is so careful in spending 44:13 God's money. It's time for us to enjoy some 44:16 more music, and Kateena LeForge 44:18 is going to come sing that beautiful song 44:22 'it is well with my soul.' 44:26 I love to know how songs were written, 44:28 who wrote them and under what circumstances. 44:30 In the 1860s there was a Chicago lawyer by 44:34 the name of Horatio G. Spafford and he had sent 44:39 his family on a vacation across the Atlantic 44:41 to England, because of a last minute business 44:45 development he was detained. 44:48 So, he went ahead and send them on, 44:50 his wife and his four daughters one of the boilers 44:54 exploded and the entire ship went down in a matter 44:57 of about nine minutes and so he had a ship take 45:01 him out to the place where his family had perished 45:05 and the captain called him to the deck and said 45:09 that he thought that they were about in that area. 45:11 And he stood there on the deck of that ship 45:15 and wrote the words to it is well with my soul. 45:19 We want to be careful not be affair with a friend 45:22 to God it's easy to praise him on the mountain tops. 45:25 That our God is good at all the time. Amen. 46:02 When peace, like a river, attendeth my way, 46:15 When sorrows like sea billows roll; 46:41 It is well, it is well, with my soul. 46:53 It is well, with my soul, 47:08 It is well, it is well, with my soul. 47:39 And Lord, haste the day when my faith shall be sight, 47:51 The clouds be rolled back as a scroll; 48:04 The trump shall resound, and the Lord shall descend, 48:16 Even so, it is well with my soul. 48:33 It is well, with my soul. 48:45 It is well, it is well, with my soul. 49:00 It is well, it is well, with my soul. 49:32 Can you say that? Jesus loves me. 49:45 I have been given a role tonight I don't normally have, 49:47 I get to introduce to you one of the hardest working ladies 49:50 behind the scenes here at 3ABN, 49:52 she truly is a treasure, the sweet voice 49:55 of Tammy Chance. 49:59 Thank you. I know that you're gonna be 50:05 really blessed by this song because I was out here 50:07 earlier doing a sound check and when I got done one 50:09 man on the front row clapped. So, I said boy this is gonna 50:15 go over well tonight, but he was too late 50:18 to change it, so you're gonna have to suffer through it. 50:34 This world is not my home I'm just a passing through 50:43 My treasures are laid up somewhere beyond the blue 50:52 The angels beckon me from heaven's open door 51:01 And I can't feel at home in this world anymore 51:14 Oh Lord you know I have no friend like you 51:20 If heaven's not my home then Lord what will I do 51:26 The angels beckon me from heaven's open door 51:32 And I can't feel at home in this world anymore 51:40 Just over in Gloryland we'll live eternally, 51:49 the saints on every hand are shouting victory 51:55 Their songs of sweetest praise drift back 52:00 from heaven's shore 52:02 And I can't feel at home in this world anymore 52:10 Oh Lord you know I have no friend like you 52:16 If heaven's not my home then Lord what will I do 52:22 The angels beckon me from heaven's open door 52:28 And I can't feel at home in this world anymore 52:36 They're all expecting me and that's one thing I know 52:42 my savior pardoned me and now I onward go 52:48 I know He'll take me through though I am weak and poor 52:55 and I can't feel at home in this world anymore 53:01 The angels beckon me from heaven's open door 53:07 And I can't feel at home in this world anymore. 53:21 Amen. Amen. 53:27 Well, you all being seating and listening long enough 53:31 it's time you get involved, what you say? Amen. 53:33 Because I know you all can sing 53:34 I heard you earlier today. What don't we doing, 53:36 we may have time, why don't we start a verse, 53:39 start the verse and then the chorus. 53:40 I'll see if you recognize this song and you sing 53:43 with us okay. 53:45 My heart can sing when I pause to remember 53:54 A heartache here is but a stepping stone 54:05 Along a trail that's winding always upward 54:14 This troubled world is not my final home. 54:24 But until then my heart will go on singing, 54:34 Until then with joy I'll carry on, 54:43 Until the day my eyes behold the city, 54:52 Until the day God calls me home. 55:01 Now, if you're near, why don't you stand up, 55:02 let's sing a new chorus again. 55:04 But until then my heart will go on singing, 55:14 Until then with joy I'll carry on, 55:23 Until the day my eyes behold the city, 55:33 Until the day God calls me home. 55:45 Amen. You know I would like to hear them 55:48 sing how great thou art. You would. 55:50 I think we got it out, I think we can go out on it. 55:52 We got, yeah, we make time. There we go.
