As I walked through the door
00:00:59.53\00:01:04.20
I sensed His presence
00:01:04.50\00:01:07.98
and I knew this was the place
00:01:09.11\00:01:14.42
where love abounds;
00:01:15.07\00:01:18.77
for this is the temple
00:01:19.07\00:01:23.66
Jehovah God
00:01:23.97\00:01:27.38
abides in
00:01:27.58\00:01:30.73
We are standing
00:01:31.13\00:01:34.92
in His presence
00:01:35.22\00:01:39.25
on holy ground.
00:01:39.55\00:01:44.29
We are standing
00:01:46.83\00:01:52.26
on holy ground
00:01:52.76\00:01:58.69
and I know
00:01:59.39\00:02:02.90
that there are angels
00:02:03.20\00:02:06.06
all around;
00:02:06.36\00:02:10.73
Let us praise let us praise
00:02:11.92\00:02:17.71
Jesus now.
00:02:18.52\00:02:22.33
We are standing
00:02:24.17\00:02:27.08
in His presence
00:02:27.38\00:02:30.86
on holy ground.
00:02:31.16\00:02:35.51
In His presence
00:02:35.91\00:02:41.88
there is joy
00:02:42.18\00:02:44.71
beyond measure
00:02:45.01\00:02:48.20
and at His feet
00:02:48.61\00:02:51.58
peace of mind
00:02:51.88\00:02:54.68
can still be found.
00:02:54.88\00:02:59.73
If you have a need
00:03:00.13\00:03:03.88
my God has the answer...
00:03:04.38\00:03:09.02
yes He does!
00:03:09.22\00:03:10.45
Reach out and claim it,
00:03:10.75\00:03:13.90
for child you're standing
00:03:14.10\00:03:17.45
on holy ground.
00:03:17.65\00:03:22.33
We are standing
00:03:24.11\00:03:27.78
sing it with me
00:03:27.88\00:03:28.91
on holy ground
00:03:29.64\00:03:35.26
and I know that there are angels
00:03:35.67\00:03:41.63
all around.
00:03:41.73\00:03:44.89
Let us praise let us praise
00:03:46.28\00:03:51.53
Jesus now.
00:03:51.84\00:03:56.92
We are standing
00:03:57.32\00:03:59.93
in His presence...
00:04:00.34\00:04:02.64
We are standing
in His presence...
00:04:03.04\00:04:07.89
We are standing
00:04:08.19\00:04:11.09
in His presence
00:04:11.29\00:04:14.02
on holy
00:04:14.32\00:04:17.42
ground.
00:04:17.72\00:04:22.08
Amen.
00:04:23.58\00:04:25.29
Amen.
00:04:25.59\00:04:26.91
You know, when
3ABN was just beginning
00:04:29.16\00:04:32.05
that song had special meaning.
Isn't that right, Danny?
00:04:32.35\00:04:35.22
Surely did. In fact,
we used to stand around...
00:04:35.52\00:04:37.81
we'd go with Brother Kenny
and the rest of the family.
00:04:38.01\00:04:40.48
We'd go out... And we
just had a building...
00:04:40.69\00:04:42.13
Vonda Summers had donated
some property, and we just had
00:04:42.43\00:04:44.97
the shell of a building.
00:04:45.17\00:04:46.40
And we'd go out and
stand in a circle on Sabbath,
00:04:46.60\00:04:49.02
and I've got a feeling you
were in some of those, Mollie.
00:04:49.22\00:04:51.14
You and Hal. And we'd
stand in a circle and just sing
00:04:51.34\00:04:54.06
Holy Ground because we
felt like what God had given
00:04:54.26\00:04:57.75
was holy ground.
Original was 2 little acres.
00:04:57.95\00:05:00.31
Now it's two hundred acres.
00:05:00.51\00:05:01.54
But that original
site is still there
00:05:01.74\00:05:04.24
and anywhere we walk.
And people around the world
00:05:04.44\00:05:06.71
have come here and without
us, you know, saying anything
00:05:06.91\00:05:09.91
they come up and they
say: "We just feel like we're
00:05:10.11\00:05:11.50
standing on holy
ground. " Amen. Amen.
00:05:11.60\00:05:13.68
This past Tuesday morning...
on Tuesdays we have corporate
00:05:13.88\00:05:15.88
worship where all of 3ABN
gets together for worship.
00:05:15.98\00:05:18.99
And Larry Welch who has
been with us from almost
00:05:19.30\00:05:22.09
the very beginning,
we asked him: "Larry,
00:05:22.30\00:05:24.76
lead us in Holy
Ground. " And it was so natural
00:05:24.96\00:05:28.24
for us just to begin our
worship singing Holy Ground
00:05:28.27\00:05:31.27
there at 3ABN. Amen.
00:05:31.47\00:05:33.03
You know, the first time I
came here, and I've mentioned
00:05:33.33\00:05:35.34
this before, but the first
time I came when you called me
00:05:35.54\00:05:39.01
to come we had a
worship time together.
00:05:39.22\00:05:41.84
We called everybody
together and you sang that song.
00:05:42.04\00:05:45.62
You may not have noticed it
00:05:47.42\00:05:49.19
but I slipped out of
my loafers just like this.
00:05:49.49\00:05:52.54
I did not want anything
between me and the ground.
00:05:52.84\00:05:56.82
And I feel that way still!
00:05:57.12\00:05:59.30
I tell you that God
is using this ministry.
00:05:59.60\00:06:02.10
You know it says: "Your
young men will dream dreams. "
00:06:04.18\00:06:06.78
And what does it say the old
men will do? I don't remember.
00:06:06.98\00:06:09.11
But whatever it is
00:06:09.31\00:06:12.22
I'm still back
there with the young men.
00:06:12.42\00:06:14.33
But that puts you in a category
though, when you can't remember.
00:06:14.53\00:06:17.47
But I believe
with all of my heart
00:06:17.87\00:06:20.58
that one of these days people
are going to turn on their
00:06:20.78\00:06:24.00
televisions sets. Only thing
they're going to be able to
00:06:24.10\00:06:27.40
hear is this message.
00:06:27.50\00:06:29.66
I believe it 'cause
we've seen it in small areas...
00:06:29.86\00:06:33.31
small ways. I believe that
people are going to hear this
00:06:33.51\00:06:38.10
message in their own tongue.
We'll be speaking in whatever,
00:06:38.20\00:06:43.12
English or whatever,
but they're going to hear it
00:06:43.32\00:06:45.53
in their own tongues.
Just like it was at Pentecost
00:06:45.73\00:06:48.84
they're going to hear the truth.
00:06:49.04\00:06:51.40
We've got to keep
preaching the truth. Amen!
00:06:51.60\00:06:54.63
And I believe that with
all my heart... really do.
00:06:54.83\00:06:58.33
Well let me ask you this:
00:06:58.63\00:07:00.32
um, this Camp Meeting... have
you sensed something special?
00:07:00.62\00:07:03.59
Amen. Is there not just
a special presence of God's
00:07:03.89\00:07:06.79
Holy Spirit here? And an
urgency that's coming from
00:07:06.89\00:07:10.37
both of our speakers that truly
the Lord is returning soon.
00:07:10.48\00:07:15.06
This is the time
for us to get serious.
00:07:15.36\00:07:18.62
As Pastor Finley was teaching us
00:07:19.02\00:07:21.19
to enter into a really
depth in our prayer life
00:07:21.39\00:07:23.94
and to recognize the
seriousness of the time.
00:07:24.24\00:07:28.05
And Kenny, it's
that time, isn't it?
00:07:28.25\00:07:30.52
It is. Yeah, it's
time that you mentioned
00:07:30.72\00:07:34.09
the word serious. I like
that. There's a time that we can
00:07:34.29\00:07:36.77
you know the Bible
talks to laugh and to cry.
00:07:36.97\00:07:38.91
This is a time for God's move-
ment to get really serious.
00:07:39.11\00:07:42.49
Get down to business...
and that's God's business.
00:07:42.69\00:07:45.64
I've heard that
this Camp Meeting
00:07:45.85\00:07:47.96
and I've just been drinking
in the word that I have heard -
00:07:48.16\00:07:51.49
Amen - the spiritual direction
that has been given. Um-hmm.
00:07:51.59\00:07:54.96
And it's
touched... touched my heart
00:07:55.09\00:07:57.44
and helped me to
rededicate and to energize,
00:07:57.74\00:08:00.50
you know, to get this gospel
preaching to all the world.
00:08:00.71\00:08:03.36
So it's been a real
spiritual treat to be here
00:08:03.66\00:08:07.02
and just want to thank
you folks for that. Awesome!
00:08:07.32\00:08:09.54
Kenny, we'd like to ask you
to lead us in a word of prayer
00:08:09.85\00:08:13.16
as we begin this
service, and we just know that
00:08:13.36\00:08:17.21
every single one of us,
everyone who has a very special
00:08:17.42\00:08:21.64
need right now, would
you raise your hand with me?
00:08:21.84\00:08:24.01
And would you
remember all of us in prayer?
00:08:24.31\00:08:28.29
If you don't mind I'm
going to kneel right here.
00:08:30.26\00:08:32.70
The rest of them might
be standing. It's OK, but
00:08:32.90\00:08:34.77
I like to kneel before I pray.
00:08:34.97\00:08:36.76
Merciful Father in
heaven, we thank you for another
00:08:37.16\00:08:40.48
Sabbath day
that You've given us.
00:08:40.58\00:08:42.21
Lord truly heaven has come down
and glory has filled our souls.
00:08:42.41\00:08:46.84
We realize that we've
been in Your presence.
00:08:47.15\00:08:49.77
Unworthy as we are,
You've come down and You spoke
00:08:50.07\00:08:53.88
words of encouragement
and words of cheer.
00:08:54.08\00:08:56.23
Many time words of rebuke.
But You've come and You spoke
00:08:56.53\00:08:59.88
to Your children, and we
want to thank you for that.
00:09:00.08\00:09:02.19
And I realize this
Sabbath day is a day that You do
00:09:02.39\00:09:05.13
special things for Your
people and You've done it
00:09:05.33\00:09:07.32
and I thank you for that.
00:09:07.53\00:09:08.72
And I pray now as we continue
this beautiful walk with You
00:09:09.03\00:09:13.74
during this Camp Meeting time
that once again the Holy Spirit
00:09:13.94\00:09:17.39
will come down and consume each
and every one who has a part.
00:09:17.59\00:09:20.46
Lord, it's not man that
we need to see right now.
00:09:20.76\00:09:23.19
We need to see, we need to
hear, we need to understand
00:09:23.39\00:09:25.76
what heaven has in store
for each and every one of us.
00:09:25.96\00:09:28.33
We need to hear Your
voice. We need to hear and get
00:09:28.53\00:09:31.51
directions that You
are giving Your people
00:09:31.61\00:09:34.25
here in the last days,
and we need to heed those.
00:09:34.35\00:09:36.64
And as Your Spirit comes
down and fills each of those
00:09:36.94\00:09:39.17
who will be speaking and
those who may be bringing us
00:09:39.37\00:09:42.27
special music, Lord I know our
hearts... prepare them right now
00:09:42.37\00:09:45.80
that what we hear, that we'll
take it deep into our hearts,
00:09:46.10\00:09:50.05
deep into our minds.
00:09:50.25\00:09:51.46
May we realize that Jesus
is soon to come in the clouds
00:09:51.66\00:09:54.69
of glory. There is a preparation
that needs to be made.
00:09:54.79\00:09:57.45
Oh Lord, take our hearts today.
00:09:57.55\00:09:59.43
Mold them and shape them
any way that You see fit...
00:09:59.63\00:10:02.77
whatever it takes that we
can spend eternity with You
00:10:02.87\00:10:06.43
let it happen in our
lives because we trust You
00:10:06.63\00:10:09.40
and we love You. And
we leave the rest of this
00:10:09.50\00:10:12.29
service, the rest
of the Camp Meeting
00:10:12.49\00:10:13.50
in Thy care and Thy keeping
because You have done abundantly
00:10:13.70\00:10:16.85
more than we could
ever think or believe.
00:10:16.95\00:10:18.96
And so we give You
praise, give You honor.
00:10:19.16\00:10:20.75
Touch each one of Your
children today. Touch each
00:10:20.96\00:10:24.15
of our hearts and
remember the needs.
00:10:24.25\00:10:26.50
There are so many needs
out there. You saw the hands
00:10:26.70\00:10:28.67
that were raised
here this afternoon.
00:10:28.88\00:10:30.68
I pray that You will meet
every need of every life. Amen.
00:10:30.88\00:10:33.80
Some going through maybe
tremendous things in their life:
00:10:34.11\00:10:37.90
troubles and trials,
and financial... mentally,
00:10:38.11\00:10:40.43
physically, spiritually.
00:10:40.63\00:10:42.08
Oh, You're the Author.
You're the great Healer,
00:10:42.28\00:10:44.76
and I pray that You'll reach
down and touch them right now
00:10:44.96\00:10:47.22
Lord. And we'll
always give You the praise
00:10:47.42\00:10:49.57
and give You the honor
and give You the glory.
00:10:49.78\00:10:51.52
We love You and we just
thank You for coming down.
00:10:51.72\00:10:54.90
In Jesus' name, Amen.
00:10:55.10\00:10:57.63
All right. Thank you very much.
00:10:57.83\00:10:59.34
Well we've got some
special music, Jim. Yes we do.
00:10:59.64\00:11:02.12
Some of our
favorite people. Amen.
00:11:02.22\00:11:04.03
Who've we got
coming out? Well, we've got
00:11:04.24\00:11:06.77
Reggie and Ladye -
Reggie and Ladye Love -
00:11:06.97\00:11:08.51
and they are going to give
us a min-concert right now.
00:11:08.61\00:11:11.83
They are. It's going to
be about 25 or 30 minutes.
00:11:11.93\00:11:14.38
Yeah. And I said:
"Since the people have probably
00:11:14.58\00:11:17.75
eaten quite a bit and
maybe a little bit sleepy
00:11:17.95\00:11:20.03
somewhere in the middle
you might want to wake us up
00:11:20.23\00:11:22.39
just a little
bit. Just a little bit.
00:11:22.49\00:11:24.04
Nothing out of
hand... just wake us up.
00:11:24.24\00:11:25.73
So I think they're going
to do that - OK, all right -
00:11:25.85\00:11:27.75
a little bit. OK,
we're looking forward to it.
00:11:27.85\00:11:29.69
I come to the garden
00:12:01.31\00:12:05.84
alone,
00:12:07.20\00:12:09.52
While the dew is still on
00:12:09.72\00:12:14.89
And the voice I hear,
00:12:20.39\00:12:24.57
falling on my ear,
00:12:26.42\00:12:30.72
The Son of God
00:12:30.92\00:12:36.67
discloses.
00:12:36.97\00:12:42.40
And He walks
00:12:42.70\00:12:47.01
with me, and
00:12:48.15\00:12:50.71
He talks with me,
00:12:51.11\00:12:54.93
And He tells me I am
00:12:55.77\00:13:01.28
His own,
00:13:01.58\00:13:05.85
And the joy that we share
00:13:06.15\00:13:10.67
as we tarry there,
00:13:10.97\00:13:15.97
None other
00:13:16.37\00:13:18.91
has ever
00:13:19.11\00:13:22.38
known.
00:13:22.48\00:13:27.27
He speaks,
00:13:27.47\00:13:29.56
and the sound
00:13:29.87\00:13:32.18
of His voice
00:13:32.38\00:13:37.04
Is so sweet
00:13:37.34\00:13:40.10
that the birds hush
00:13:40.40\00:13:42.31
their singing;
00:13:42.52\00:13:46.96
And the melody
00:13:47.16\00:13:51.95
that He gave to me
00:13:52.25\00:13:58.21
Within my heart
00:13:58.51\00:14:02.02
is ringing.
00:14:02.72\00:14:08.70
And He walks
00:14:09.00\00:14:12.34
with me, and
00:14:12.75\00:14:16.26
He talks with me,
00:14:16.56\00:14:20.82
And He tells me
00:14:21.12\00:14:24.45
I am His own.
00:14:24.85\00:14:30.84
And the joy that we share
00:14:31.24\00:14:36.54
as we tarry there,
00:14:36.84\00:14:41.34
None other
00:14:41.99\00:14:44.54
has ever
00:14:44.84\00:14:47.70
known...
00:14:48.00\00:14:53.94
None other - none other -
00:14:56.54\00:14:59.43
has ever
00:14:59.93\00:15:05.07
known.
00:15:06.43\00:15:12.39
Amen!
00:15:28.32\00:15:30.60
Thank you.
00:15:33.05\00:15:34.42
Suspended above
00:15:56.98\00:16:00.93
the world that He made
00:16:01.33\00:16:04.60
and below His home in the sky
00:16:04.91\00:16:10.84
God in flesh
00:16:12.67\00:16:15.15
came down to men
00:16:15.55\00:16:19.34
and man raised Him up
00:16:19.74\00:16:24.21
to die.
00:16:24.51\00:16:26.91
And there on the tree
00:16:27.31\00:16:30.74
the destiny
00:16:31.24\00:16:34.65
of every fallen man
00:16:34.95\00:16:40.57
was held by the nails
00:16:42.44\00:16:45.47
driven through
00:16:46.52\00:16:49.41
His sinless feet
00:16:49.91\00:16:53.85
and hands.
00:16:54.15\00:16:57.71
Somewhere between
00:16:58.01\00:17:01.39
heaven and earth
00:17:01.69\00:17:04.74
stood a symbol of grace
00:17:04.94\00:17:08.22
not based on our worth.
00:17:08.42\00:17:12.30
It was there He endured
00:17:12.60\00:17:15.99
what we deserve.
00:17:16.29\00:17:20.49
For a cross held
the hope of the world
00:17:20.80\00:17:26.30
somewhere between heaven and
00:17:26.60\00:17:31.22
earth.
00:17:31.42\00:17:33.78
Somewhere between time
00:17:34.18\00:17:38.76
and space.
00:17:38.96\00:17:42.32
And somewhere between judgment
00:17:42.43\00:17:45.79
and grace.
00:17:46.00\00:17:48.76
He became the sin
00:17:48.99\00:17:52.84
He'd never known.
00:17:53.04\00:17:57.46
And as the skies turned black
00:17:57.76\00:17:59.97
His Father turned His back
00:18:00.21\00:18:03.78
and for that moment
00:18:04.18\00:18:06.73
He was left alone...
00:18:07.13\00:18:11.20
He was left alone.
00:18:11.50\00:18:16.97
Somewhere between
00:18:17.28\00:18:20.58
heaven and earth
00:18:20.68\00:18:24.09
stood a symbol of grace
00:18:24.39\00:18:27.32
not based on our worth.
00:18:27.62\00:18:31.60
It was there He endured
00:18:31.90\00:18:35.21
what we deserve.
00:18:35.61\00:18:39.75
For the cross held
the hope of the world
00:18:39.98\00:18:45.71
somewhere between heaven
00:18:46.11\00:18:50.02
and earth.
00:18:50.22\00:18:51.60
Somewhere
between heaven and earth
00:18:51.80\00:18:57.51
stood a symbol of grace
00:18:57.81\00:19:00.97
not based on our worth.
00:19:01.28\00:19:05.25
It was there He endured
00:19:05.56\00:19:08.93
what we deserve.
00:19:09.23\00:19:13.21
For the cross held
the hope of the world
00:19:13.41\00:19:19.33
Yes, the cross held the hope
00:19:19.83\00:19:23.30
of the world...
00:19:23.41\00:19:26.77
Yes, the cross held the hope
00:19:26.87\00:19:30.57
of the world
00:19:30.88\00:19:35.46
somewhere... somewhere
00:19:35.77\00:19:39.50
between heaven
00:19:39.60\00:19:44.70
and earth.
00:19:45.52\00:19:50.14
Suspended
00:19:51.48\00:19:54.21
above the world
00:19:54.51\00:19:57.89
that He made
00:19:58.19\00:20:00.29
and below His home in
00:20:00.50\00:20:04.80
the sky.
00:20:05.53\00:20:11.50
Good afternoon.
How are you today?
00:20:22.54\00:20:24.43
Has it been an
incredible day so far?
00:20:24.84\00:20:27.52
Amen. Amen. And
boy, we just had lunch
00:20:27.82\00:20:30.49
and I'm trying
desperately to get through it.
00:20:30.69\00:20:32.43
But it was a good lunch. It
was a wonderful wonderful meal.
00:20:32.73\00:20:36.24
Great great lunch. By
the way, we are married.
00:20:36.55\00:20:39.41
A lot of people say: "Ladye
Love is that really your name? "
00:20:39.51\00:20:41.79
A lot of people know us
as Ladye Love and the Tramp.
00:20:41.99\00:20:44.15
But... but I'm OK with that
00:20:46.23\00:20:48.45
'cause I have Ladye Love.
00:20:48.66\00:20:50.18
You guys... you
understand, right?
00:20:51.14\00:20:52.56
But we're so blessed
to be part of... we feel,
00:20:52.76\00:20:56.93
the 3ABN family.
00:20:57.13\00:20:58.19
And we came in with
the Pillars Project.
00:20:58.59\00:21:03.35
I hope you've
enjoyed the Pillars Projects
00:21:03.46\00:21:05.68
which were just
really anointed and blessed,
00:21:05.78\00:21:08.09
we feel, and we're just so
grateful to be part of that.
00:21:08.29\00:21:10.56
And I just think... we
just think so highly of the 3ABN
00:21:10.86\00:21:13.81
team... Danny
and the whole team.
00:21:14.01\00:21:15.91
Are we not blessed to have 3ABN?
00:21:16.31\00:21:19.61
Amen! That touches
all over the world.
00:21:19.81\00:21:22.41
I mean not just
locally or nationally but
00:21:22.61\00:21:24.84
internationally. It still
just blows my mind to hear the
00:21:25.05\00:21:27.51
stories internationally
and it's just amazing.
00:21:27.61\00:21:30.34
And so we're all
blessed to be part of that.
00:21:30.64\00:21:33.97
We're all together part of
that internationally right now
00:21:34.17\00:21:36.55
I think. So that's
pretty cool, isn't it?
00:21:36.75\00:21:38.69
God is good.
00:21:38.99\00:21:40.40
And all the time. God is good.
00:21:40.60\00:21:43.90
Well the pastor brought a
message this morning did he not?
00:21:44.10\00:21:46.36
Amen. Wow! He said: "Don't
get close to me, it's going to
00:21:46.56\00:21:48.96
get on you, too. "
00:21:49.06\00:21:51.30
And I said: "Brother,
come and rub up on me!
00:21:51.50\00:21:53.61
That's OK... let's
hug. " Just amazing!
00:21:53.81\00:21:56.26
And you know, we're
going to do a little song.
00:21:56.56\00:22:00.27
It's afternoon, and
we've all had our meal.
00:22:00.48\00:22:02.98
And we feel good but
we're probably a little sleepy.
00:22:03.18\00:22:05.23
Well, is it OK if we
do a little toe tapper?
00:22:06.10\00:22:08.70
Now here's the deal:
if we do a toe tapper
00:22:09.20\00:22:11.55
you can't tap
somebody else's toe, OK?
00:22:11.75\00:22:13.34
Just keep it right
here. No, you can...
00:22:13.54\00:22:15.73
Well you CAN... but
you might get in trouble.
00:22:15.93\00:22:18.02
And this is a song, an old song,
00:22:18.32\00:22:19.73
called Can He,
Could He, Would He.
00:22:19.93\00:22:21.05
And it's a little toe tapper
00:22:21.35\00:22:23.23
and if you guys here will
just tap your toe, go on ahead
00:22:23.43\00:22:25.57
and just smile along
with us. It goes like this:
00:22:25.67\00:22:28.07
It's up
there... now it's upbeat.
00:22:28.13\00:22:30.40
Can He, could He,
00:22:41.34\00:22:44.08
would He, did He,
00:22:44.29\00:22:46.88
can He could He would He?
Yes He can, He could, He would
00:22:47.08\00:22:49.47
and He did.
00:22:49.57\00:22:51.63
I said can He,
00:22:51.93\00:22:53.91
could He,
00:22:53.94\00:22:55.35
would He,
00:22:55.65\00:22:56.96
did He. Can He could He would He
00:22:57.26\00:22:59.45
yes He can He could
He would and He did.
00:22:59.65\00:23:02.81
From the moment I heard
about the Lord and His Word
00:23:03.80\00:23:06.52
well it seemed
too good to be true.
00:23:06.63\00:23:09.24
There were questions and
doubts, I tried to figure it out
00:23:09.44\00:23:12.04
but the best that I
could do was to wander around
00:23:12.24\00:23:16.31
in this love that I found
until the questions started
00:23:16.41\00:23:18.89
answering themselves. Saying:
00:23:18.99\00:23:21.01
can He could He
would He yes He can
00:23:21.11\00:23:22.67
He could He would and He did!
00:23:22.87\00:23:25.87
Can He, could He,
00:23:26.27\00:23:29.21
would He, did He,
00:23:29.51\00:23:32.02
can He could He would He
yes He can He could He would
00:23:32.22\00:23:34.61
and He did!
00:23:34.71\00:23:36.96
I said can He,
00:23:37.16\00:23:39.24
could He,
00:23:39.44\00:23:40.41
would He,
00:23:40.54\00:23:42.16
did He
00:23:42.29\00:23:43.32
Can He, could He, would He
yes He can He could He would
00:23:43.45\00:23:45.91
and He did!
00:23:46.01\00:23:48.16
I know that He did.
00:24:09.36\00:24:11.60
Well can He, could He,
00:24:11.90\00:24:14.35
would He, did He
00:24:14.55\00:24:17.27
Can He, could He, would He
yes He can He could He would
00:24:17.57\00:24:19.77
and He did. I
know, I know He did.
00:24:19.97\00:24:22.83
I said can He, could He,
00:24:23.03\00:24:25.55
would He, did He
00:24:25.85\00:24:28.42
Can He, could He, would He
yes He can He could He would
00:24:28.56\00:24:31.13
and He did. I
know, I know He did.
00:24:31.23\00:24:33.98
Can He, could He,
00:24:34.18\00:24:36.90
would He, did He
00:24:37.10\00:24:39.86
Can He, could He, would He
yes He can He could He would
00:24:39.99\00:24:42.38
and He did! And I know He can
00:24:42.58\00:24:44.98
I know He did.
And I know He will
00:24:45.08\00:24:47.91
and He did!
00:24:48.01\00:24:49.03
He did!
00:24:53.01\00:24:58.99
Well you know what?
00:25:04.26\00:25:05.59
I think it's so great
we could be here today.
00:25:05.99\00:25:08.26
And I know that
where we are today
00:25:08.46\00:25:10.57
it's rainin' a
little, isn't it out here?
00:25:10.77\00:25:12.46
But where you may
be it may be sunny
00:25:12.66\00:25:15.37
and bright and beautiful.
00:25:15.67\00:25:17.75
And isn't that
just so much like us?
00:25:18.05\00:25:20.13
Some of us in here are having
a bright time in their lives.
00:25:20.33\00:25:23.43
Things are great.
Things are going well.
00:25:23.63\00:25:26.02
But for some of us it's raining.
00:25:26.32\00:25:28.75
And there are times like
that in our lives, right?
00:25:29.05\00:25:31.51
And I just want to
encourage you today.
00:25:31.81\00:25:33.79
I just want to say that
God knows and God cares.
00:25:33.99\00:25:37.27
And He loves you and
He understands the pain
00:25:37.57\00:25:41.65
more than you can imagine.
00:25:41.95\00:25:43.75
And He just wants to
be... He's never left you.
00:25:44.05\00:25:46.40
He said: "I will never
leave you or forsake you. "
00:25:46.60\00:25:48.37
And, um, so for
today I just want to say
00:25:48.68\00:25:51.99
for this hope and this
promise that it won't rain
00:25:52.19\00:25:54.73
always.
00:25:54.93\00:25:56.26
Well someone said
00:26:07.58\00:26:10.95
that in this life
00:26:12.20\00:26:16.03
some rain is bound
00:26:17.44\00:26:21.47
to fall.
00:26:21.77\00:26:24.97
And each one shares
00:26:26.35\00:26:31.42
his share of tears,
00:26:31.53\00:26:35.94
and trouble
00:26:36.61\00:26:38.62
troubles us all.
00:26:39.52\00:26:44.53
But the hurt
00:26:45.71\00:26:47.99
won't hurt
00:26:48.50\00:26:51.00
forever.
00:26:51.40\00:26:56.02
And those tears
00:26:56.52\00:26:59.87
are bound to dry.
00:27:00.17\00:27:05.85
And it won't rain
00:27:06.25\00:27:11.37
always.
00:27:11.77\00:27:17.42
The clouds will soon
00:27:17.92\00:27:21.62
be gone.
00:27:22.22\00:27:26.45
And the sun that they've
00:27:26.85\00:27:32.50
been hiding
00:27:32.80\00:27:36.74
has been there
00:27:37.04\00:27:39.88
all along.
00:27:40.28\00:27:45.94
And it won't rain
00:27:47.16\00:27:53.05
always.
00:27:53.45\00:27:58.88
God's promises
00:27:59.38\00:28:03.17
are true.
00:28:04.09\00:28:08.20
And the sun is gonna shine
00:28:08.60\00:28:13.49
in His own good time.
00:28:14.50\00:28:18.78
And He will see you
00:28:19.28\00:28:24.80
through.
00:28:25.10\00:28:30.14
And the sun
00:28:30.44\00:28:32.73
it's gonna shine
00:28:33.03\00:28:35.28
in God's own good time.
00:28:35.68\00:28:39.95
And He will see you
00:28:40.35\00:28:45.63
through.
00:28:46.13\00:28:52.10
Are ya'll enjoying
Tim Parton this week?
00:29:01.89\00:29:04.11
Amen. Is he not amazing?
00:29:04.41\00:29:06.76
He said: "No,
please... come on, stop. "
00:29:07.06\00:29:09.79
We just talked about doing
this little song, and actually
00:29:12.24\00:29:15.06
we did this song... WE
didn't but I did this song
00:29:15.16\00:29:18.15
the first time a while
back out on the road with Danny
00:29:18.25\00:29:20.98
and the gang. And at that time
I didn't know the lyric, and
00:29:21.08\00:29:24.82
I know you're going to think:
"Boy, do you not go to church?
00:29:24.92\00:29:27.18
You should know this lyric. "
00:29:27.38\00:29:28.98
It's a great lyric written
by Dottie Rambo I believe.
00:29:29.18\00:29:32.04
And it's to the
tune of Oh Danny Boy.
00:29:32.34\00:29:34.98
And so Danny stood
beside... "If I'm going to do it
00:29:35.38\00:29:38.69
you've got to stand right
here and give me the words. "
00:29:38.73\00:29:40.82
So he would go: blah,
blah, blah and I would sing it.
00:29:41.02\00:29:42.70
Blah, blah, blah and I
would sing it like that.
00:29:42.91\00:29:44.49
So I think I need him now but
I'm going to try it without him.
00:29:44.79\00:29:47.91
So...
00:29:48.21\00:29:50.14
Amazing grace
00:29:58.13\00:30:01.46
shall always be my
00:30:02.48\00:30:06.80
song of praise.
00:30:07.10\00:30:08.94
For it was grace
00:30:10.32\00:30:14.45
that bought my liberty.
00:30:14.66\00:30:15.63
I do not know
00:30:22.05\00:30:26.07
just why He came
00:30:26.57\00:30:30.35
to love me so
00:30:30.65\00:30:33.84
He looked beyond
00:30:34.76\00:30:39.46
my fault and saw
00:30:39.86\00:30:44.37
my need.
00:30:44.67\00:30:47.20
I shall
00:30:49.31\00:30:51.43
forever
00:30:51.83\00:30:55.91
lift my eyes to Calvary
00:30:56.11\00:31:00.92
to view the cross
00:31:03.57\00:31:07.68
where Jesus died
00:31:07.99\00:31:11.30
for me.
00:31:12.05\00:31:14.33
How marvelous
00:31:16.30\00:31:21.01
the grace that caught
00:31:21.31\00:31:24.81
my fallen soul.
00:31:25.11\00:31:26.08
He looked
00:31:33.32\00:31:35.29
beyond
00:31:35.59\00:31:38.66
my fault
00:31:39.43\00:31:42.25
and saw
00:31:42.55\00:31:44.53
my - and your -
00:31:44.83\00:31:47.83
need.
00:31:48.74\00:31:54.68
Amen.
00:32:02.11\00:32:04.18
Well I just keep thinking
about God's goodness right now
00:32:07.68\00:32:10.33
and just how good
He has been to us.
00:32:10.73\00:32:12.70
When you said "all
the time... " God is good
00:32:12.90\00:32:14.34
all the time
00:32:14.54\00:32:16.71
He really is, isn't He?
00:32:17.01\00:32:18.61
We... You know, we
forget that a lot, don't we?
00:32:19.01\00:32:21.52
We get caught up in everyday
life and the things that are
00:32:21.93\00:32:24.82
going on, and I know for
me... I just... I was thinking
00:32:24.92\00:32:28.55
one day how I always am thinking
about how maybe like the
00:32:28.75\00:32:31.29
car didn't start that
day and oh my goodness.
00:32:31.49\00:32:34.14
And I've got to get here
and there. But you know what
00:32:34.25\00:32:36.79
we forget a lot of
times? We have a car!
00:32:36.89\00:32:39.07
You know, we forget
that we are still so blessed.
00:32:39.47\00:32:43.91
Even when things
are not the best.
00:32:44.31\00:32:47.15
We are so
blessed... so, so blessed.
00:32:47.26\00:32:49.52
And I just want to try
and remind myself that today
00:32:49.62\00:32:52.56
and you today that we
are so blessed and that
00:32:52.76\00:32:55.13
God is good all the time
and all the time God is good.
00:32:55.23\00:32:58.64
We wrote this little song
when I was thinking about that.
00:32:58.94\00:33:01.37
We have a little boy, and
he's usually here with us.
00:33:01.57\00:33:03.30
His name is Bret. He's
8... excuse me, he's 9 now.
00:33:03.50\00:33:06.48
And he usually comes with
us and he sings this song.
00:33:06.88\00:33:10.42
Reggie and I wrote this
song about God's goodness
00:33:10.62\00:33:13.49
in our life, and we wanted
to thank Him and praise Him.
00:33:13.69\00:33:16.13
And look here: here is
Melody Shelton Firestone.
00:33:16.23\00:33:19.49
Our little boy
normally does this song with us,
00:33:19.79\00:33:22.59
but Melody has done it before
and she does such a great job.
00:33:22.79\00:33:24.80
So she's going to sing this
song. This is a song we wrote
00:33:25.00\00:33:26.83
called Thank You, Lord.
00:33:27.03\00:33:28.11
For all the countless ways
00:33:45.00\00:33:48.17
You have blessed me all my days
00:33:48.48\00:33:52.38
Father, let me pause to say
00:33:52.68\00:33:55.83
"I give You thanks. "
00:33:56.03\00:33:59.72
For the life You've given me.
00:34:00.13\00:34:03.60
For my friends... my family.
00:34:03.91\00:34:07.54
For every wonder I have seen
00:34:07.85\00:34:11.10
I give You thanks...
00:34:11.30\00:34:14.34
I give You thanks.
00:34:14.64\00:34:18.96
Thank you,
00:34:19.36\00:34:23.39
Lord.
00:34:23.59\00:34:26.79
Thank you,
00:34:27.29\00:34:30.73
Lord.
00:34:31.03\00:34:33.85
For all You've
00:34:34.25\00:34:38.44
done for me
00:34:38.74\00:34:41.88
I thank you,
00:34:42.18\00:34:46.01
Lord.
00:34:46.31\00:34:49.44
For Your guidance
through the years,
00:35:04.82\00:35:08.50
for Your
presence through my fears,
00:35:08.90\00:35:12.12
for all the joy
and, yes, the tears
00:35:12.42\00:35:16.43
I give You thanks.
00:35:16.73\00:35:20.00
For the
faithfulness You've shown
00:35:20.20\00:35:23.80
as I faced each dark unknown,
00:35:24.10\00:35:27.83
I have never been alone
00:35:28.13\00:35:31.45
I give You thanks...
00:35:31.75\00:35:34.12
Lord, I give You thanks.
00:35:34.42\00:35:38.26
Thank you,
00:35:39.46\00:35:43.39
Lord.
00:35:43.59\00:35:46.75
Thank you,
00:35:47.15\00:35:50.68
Lord.
00:35:50.88\00:35:54.05
For all You've
00:35:54.35\00:35:58.50
done for me
00:35:58.80\00:36:01.81
I thank you,
00:36:02.11\00:36:06.13
Lord.
00:36:06.33\00:36:08.71
We thank you,
00:36:09.56\00:36:13.48
Lord. Sing it with us.
00:36:13.79\00:36:16.50
Thank you,
00:36:17.65\00:36:21.25
Lord. For all You've done...
00:36:21.35\00:36:24.41
For all You've
00:36:24.71\00:36:28.84
done for us
00:36:29.14\00:36:32.26
we thank you,
00:36:32.56\00:36:36.50
Lord. For all You've done...
00:36:36.80\00:36:39.43
For all You've
00:36:40.02\00:36:44.21
done for us
00:36:44.51\00:36:48.52
we thank you,
00:36:48.83\00:36:54.75
Lord.
00:36:55.55\00:37:01.52
Thank you. Amen.
00:37:03.61\00:37:06.75
Thank you very
much. That's beautiful.
00:37:14.53\00:37:16.51
Kinda thinking they were
going to do one more song.
00:37:16.81\00:37:19.15
I was kinda hoping they would.
00:37:19.35\00:37:20.40
Isn't that
beautiful? We thank you so much.
00:37:20.60\00:37:22.88
You woke us up...
you woke us up while ago.
00:37:23.08\00:37:25.24
But we're going to
have The Lesters come out
00:37:25.44\00:37:27.22
in just a moment. So I'll
introduce in just a few moments.
00:37:27.32\00:37:30.24
They were in the back - the
green room - and getting ready.
00:37:30.44\00:37:33.20
They're a family that have been
singing for many, many years.
00:37:33.30\00:37:36.14
And as I mentioned
earlier, I've seen them
00:37:36.24\00:37:38.56
when I remember I was young
and so Brian's about my age.
00:37:38.76\00:37:41.36
And so it's Brian
and his sister Jennifer
00:37:41.67\00:37:44.18
and Brian's son Jon that's here.
00:37:44.38\00:37:47.59
And Jonathan... And so I'm
going to ask them as soon as
00:37:47.89\00:37:49.97
they're ready to come on out.
00:37:50.08\00:37:51.22
And they're
actually from St. Louis.
00:37:51.52\00:37:53.31
They were over in Salem.
And Tim Parton is very good
00:37:53.62\00:37:55.96
friends with them and
helps produce and play for them
00:37:56.06\00:37:58.63
on some of their projects.
00:37:58.73\00:38:00.16
And so they're
guests here today.
00:38:00.36\00:38:02.43
I think the first
time... Come on out, Brian.
00:38:02.73\00:38:04.75
And Brian... Some of
you may know the Lesters.
00:38:05.05\00:38:07.17
If you do, let
'em know you know 'em.
00:38:07.37\00:38:08.39
Say a big "Amen" or
something for them, all right?
00:38:08.59\00:38:10.45
Clap your hands, say something
to them. Thank you, thank you.
00:38:10.75\00:38:13.38
And Jennifer
come on out and Jon.
00:38:13.58\00:38:16.46
And Jonathan or
John? Can we? Which ever.
00:38:16.76\00:38:19.60
OK which ever. As long as we
call you in time to eat, right?
00:38:19.83\00:38:23.23
Amen. We appreciate
you guys' ministry so much
00:38:23.47\00:38:26.22
and that you
would stop here today.
00:38:26.42\00:38:27.81
And again this will be
your first time singing on 3ABN
00:38:27.91\00:38:30.94
but we hope it's
not the last. Thank you.
00:38:31.04\00:38:32.63
And you've got some of
that great family harmony.
00:38:32.83\00:38:35.35
We love it, but most of
all we love their spirit
00:38:35.55\00:38:37.67
because they're
Christians and they love Jesus
00:38:37.87\00:38:39.61
and it comes
through in their music.
00:38:39.81\00:38:41.35
Thank you so much, Danny.
00:38:41.65\00:38:42.90
We're going to sing a
song a cappella for you
00:38:43.10\00:38:44.90
here this morning. It says I
sing the mighty power of God.
00:38:45.00\00:38:48.25
Of course, that's
what we need to do.
00:38:48.46\00:38:50.27
I sing the mighty power of God
00:38:59.83\00:39:03.50
that made the mountains rise.
00:39:03.70\00:39:06.80
That spread the
flowing seas abroad
00:39:07.10\00:39:10.50
and built the lofty skies.
00:39:10.70\00:39:14.12
I sing the wisdom that ordained
00:39:14.52\00:39:18.78
the sun to rule the day.
00:39:18.98\00:39:23.09
The moon shines
full at His command
00:39:23.39\00:39:27.22
and all the stars obey.
00:39:27.42\00:39:31.19
I sing the goodness of the Lord
00:39:31.49\00:39:35.55
that filled the earth with food.
00:39:35.85\00:39:39.76
He formed the
creatures with His word
00:39:39.96\00:39:43.45
and then pronounced them good.
00:39:43.75\00:39:48.10
Lord how Thy
wonders are displayed
00:39:48.33\00:39:52.52
where e're I turn my eye.
00:39:52.82\00:39:56.25
If I survey the ground I tread
00:39:56.48\00:40:00.43
or gaze upon the sky.
00:40:00.63\00:40:04.58
There's not a plant
00:40:04.88\00:40:07.66
or flower below but
00:40:07.86\00:40:10.34
makes Thy glories known.
00:40:10.55\00:40:14.93
And clouds arise
and tempests blow
00:40:15.33\00:40:19.22
by order from Thy throne.
00:40:19.42\00:40:23.90
While all that
borrows life from Thee
00:40:24.20\00:40:28.40
is ever in Thy care.
00:40:28.70\00:40:34.61
And everywhere that man can be
00:40:34.91\00:40:40.15
Thou God art present
00:40:40.45\00:40:45.55
there.
00:40:45.95\00:40:49.12
Amen.
00:40:49.42\00:40:55.15
Amen.
00:40:55.45\00:41:01.36
Amen. Thank you.
00:41:05.64\00:41:09.55
Everywhere that man can
be our God is present, folks.
00:41:11.33\00:41:15.12
Amen. There's a song we've
been singing for many years
00:41:15.42\00:41:18.26
and it's basically
all of our testimonies
00:41:18.56\00:41:20.83
because I'm glad that
He looks beyond our faults
00:41:21.13\00:41:23.64
and He sees our
needs. And this song has been
00:41:23.84\00:41:26.02
a testimony of mine for many
years, and I trust it will be
00:41:26.12\00:41:28.56
a blessing to you. It says that
He Didn't Throw The Clay Away.
00:41:28.66\00:41:34.52
Listen:
00:41:34.62\00:41:35.79
Thank the Lord.
00:41:40.26\00:41:42.36
Empty and broken
00:41:49.46\00:41:53.23
I came back to Him.
00:41:53.74\00:41:58.13
A vessel unworthy...
00:41:58.43\00:42:02.97
so scarred with sin.
00:42:03.37\00:42:07.99
But He did not despair;
00:42:08.39\00:42:13.01
He started over again.
00:42:13.31\00:42:18.20
And I bless the day
00:42:18.50\00:42:22.79
He didn't throw
00:42:23.09\00:42:26.89
the clay away.
00:42:27.19\00:42:30.80
Over and over
00:42:31.21\00:42:35.44
He molds me and makes me.
00:42:35.74\00:42:40.92
Into His likeness
00:42:41.22\00:42:45.39
He fashions the clay.
00:42:45.69\00:42:50.92
A vessel of honor
00:42:51.22\00:42:55.31
I am today.
00:42:55.71\00:43:00.50
All because Jesus
00:43:00.81\00:43:04.70
didn't throw
00:43:05.00\00:43:08.62
the clay away.
00:43:08.82\00:43:11.90
Listen, it's
Jesus: He is the Potter
00:43:12.14\00:43:16.62
and I am that clay.
00:43:16.92\00:43:21.81
Molded in His precious image
00:43:22.96\00:43:26.66
He wants me to stay.
00:43:27.16\00:43:32.37
Oh but when I stumble,
00:43:32.87\00:43:36.30
when I fall,
00:43:36.70\00:43:39.15
oh when my vessel breaks,
00:43:39.45\00:43:43.82
my Jesus, thank
God, He reached down
00:43:44.12\00:43:46.86
and He picked up
all the broken pieces.
00:43:46.96\00:43:49.49
He doesn't throw
00:43:49.89\00:43:51.80
the clay away.
00:43:51.90\00:43:57.42
Over and over
00:43:57.72\00:44:01.80
He molds me and makes me.
00:44:02.10\00:44:07.20
Into His likeness
00:44:07.50\00:44:11.66
He fashions the clay.
00:44:11.96\00:44:17.20
A vessel of honor
00:44:17.50\00:44:21.44
I am today.
00:44:21.84\00:44:26.82
All because Jesus
00:44:27.12\00:44:30.87
didn't throw
00:44:31.17\00:44:35.10
the clay away.
00:44:35.40\00:44:38.65
A vessel of honor
00:44:38.95\00:44:43.82
I
00:44:44.22\00:44:45.30
am
00:44:45.40\00:44:51.34
today.
00:44:52.41\00:44:54.01
All because my Jesus
00:44:54.22\00:44:58.05
didn't throw
00:44:58.35\00:45:02.96
the clay away.
00:45:03.16\00:45:06.31
Away.
00:45:06.52\00:45:12.45
Thank you, Lord. Bless you.
00:45:13.90\00:45:15.86
God bless you. Thank you.
00:45:15.96\00:45:18.29
Thank you very much,
Lesters. God bless you.
00:45:18.59\00:45:20.88
We want to have them
back, don't we? Amen! All right.
00:45:21.18\00:45:23.53
Thank you so
much. That's wonderful!
00:45:23.83\00:45:25.87
You enjoying the
music so far? Amen.
00:45:26.27\00:45:29.47
Wow! We're going to have
some great testimony right now.
00:45:29.77\00:45:31.65
Some of the great and
mighty and marvelous things that
00:45:31.85\00:45:33.81
God is doing
through 3ABN Russia.
00:45:34.01\00:45:36.53
And I have Julia...
Sr. Julia Outkina here.
00:45:36.64\00:45:38.71
And I know you have
quite a bit of information,
00:45:39.01\00:45:41.46
but we don't have a lot of time.
00:45:41.66\00:45:42.98
So we're going to go to
the end of the hour, though,
00:45:43.18\00:45:45.27
so we'll let our crew know.
00:45:45.37\00:45:46.41
And so why don't you tell us
and share with us what you have,
00:45:46.71\00:45:49.49
Julia? First of
all, I want to introduce
00:45:49.69\00:45:53.02
some of the Russian crew
that are with me here today.
00:45:53.22\00:45:56.02
I asked my two guys to stand up.
00:45:59.44\00:46:02.83
One of them is Alexey Bochkarev,
and he is engineer in Russia
00:46:03.03\00:46:08.92
and he is director of IT.
00:46:09.12\00:46:11.03
And next to him
is Renat Maztykanov
00:46:11.23\00:46:13.92
and he is learning to
be Production Manager.
00:46:13.95\00:46:16.75
And we praise the
Lord for both of them
00:46:16.95\00:46:18.61
for the good work that
they are doing in Russia.
00:46:18.82\00:46:20.82
Amen.
00:46:21.12\00:46:23.27
And then I want you to...
00:46:24.90\00:46:27.91
I want to ask another
worker of 3ABN Russia:
00:46:28.11\00:46:30.97
Svetlana Barinova to stand
up together with Jay Christian
00:46:31.17\00:46:35.32
who is a worker of
3ABN the United States.
00:46:35.62\00:46:37.80
And what's happening?
Something's going to be
00:46:38.10\00:46:40.34
happening, I
understand, right away.
00:46:40.44\00:46:41.93
Yes, I am asking both
of them to stand together
00:46:42.23\00:46:46.31
because three years
ago when I brought Svetlana
00:46:46.61\00:46:49.97
to 3ABN United States
00:46:50.17\00:46:52.90
the first time, this
was when Sveta and Jay met.
00:46:53.10\00:46:56.58
And tomorrow they are
going to have a wedding.
00:46:56.88\00:47:00.08
All right.
00:47:00.78\00:47:02.50
All right. And Jay, of
course, is our... head of the
00:47:06.60\00:47:09.63
3ABN Radio - yes - and
General Manager of 3ABN Radio.
00:47:09.83\00:47:12.92
Yes, and so...
Congratulations by the way!
00:47:13.03\00:47:15.65
All right, how do
you say that in Russian?
00:47:16.05\00:47:17.97
Yeah, that's what I was
going to say. There you go.
00:47:19.44\00:47:22.00
Just couldn't get
it out right then.
00:47:22.24\00:47:23.91
Danny's Russian is
very good by the way.
00:47:24.31\00:47:26.33
He knows how to say
hello and how to say good-bye.
00:47:26.54\00:47:28.91
And in most cases he
says this at the right moment.
00:47:29.11\00:47:33.24
But I've been known to
get them confused a lot.
00:47:34.87\00:47:37.85
Yesterday I met a couple
folk here that were from Russia
00:47:38.09\00:47:41.32
so I would just
say a word or two.
00:47:41.62\00:47:43.48
And I had a couple people with
me and I was trying to impress
00:47:43.68\00:47:45.79
them like I knew what was
going on and I really didn't.
00:47:45.89\00:47:48.00
But I confess today that I
was just... I'd say a few words:
00:47:48.30\00:47:50.82
just enough, they
say, to be dangerous.
00:47:51.02\00:47:52.95
But it's nice to be able
to say hello and good-bye
00:47:53.25\00:47:55.65
and do it at the
right time, huh? Yes.
00:47:55.85\00:47:57.58
Today we have brought a
very good report from Russia.
00:47:58.42\00:48:03.31
It's a video roll, so I
suggest that we can watch it
00:48:03.62\00:48:07.02
because this will give a very
good picture of what's happening
00:48:07.22\00:48:10.85
in Russia.
00:48:11.00\00:48:12.15
Jesus said: "Whoever drinks of
the water that I will give him
00:48:27.70\00:48:31.60
shall never thirst. "
00:48:31.80\00:48:33.23
All people desperately need
the living water of our Lord
00:48:33.53\00:48:37.12
Jesus Christ. For
almost 27 years now
00:48:37.22\00:48:40.56
3ABN has been bringing
this living water to the people
00:48:40.77\00:48:44.35
all over the planet earth.
00:48:44.55\00:48:46.35
Out of them for 19
years 3ABN Russia has been
00:48:46.65\00:48:50.65
reaching with it
Russian- speaking people
00:48:50.75\00:48:53.22
across the globe.
Russia is a very big country.
00:48:53.42\00:48:57.11
There are over 150,000 cities,
00:48:57.31\00:49:00.17
towns, and villages in it with
about 140 million population.
00:49:00.37\00:49:05.24
And about 160 million
Russian-speaking people
00:49:05.54\00:49:08.94
live in the countries
of the former Soviet Union
00:49:09.15\00:49:11.88
and in other
countries of the world.
00:49:12.09\00:49:14.18
Many of these
people are unbelievers
00:49:14.48\00:49:17.15
because during 70+
years of Communism and atheism
00:49:17.35\00:49:20.86
in the Soviet Union
they never heard about God
00:49:20.96\00:49:24.14
and His love for people.
00:49:24.24\00:49:25.83
They are so much in
need to hear the good news
00:49:26.13\00:49:29.11
about His precious
blood that has been shed
00:49:29.31\00:49:32.00
for the salvation and
happiness of every human being.
00:49:32.10\00:49:35.55
3ABN Russia was founded in 1992
00:49:35.95\00:49:39.28
as a chapter of 3ABN USA.
00:49:39.48\00:49:42.03
The first
programs came on the air
00:49:42.23\00:49:44.39
on a local Russian TV
channel on September 26, 1993,
00:49:44.59\00:49:49.60
and immediately became popular.
00:49:49.80\00:49:52.24
Today our programs are broadcast
by 24-hour Russian-language
00:49:52.54\00:49:57.17
Internet channels as
well as by several satellites
00:49:57.37\00:50:00.18
and quite a number of
full-power TV and radio stations
00:50:00.39\00:50:03.94
of Russia and abroad.
00:50:04.14\00:50:05.96
Our priority is
production and distribution of
00:50:12.26\00:50:15.29
TV and radio programs that
help people give their hearts
00:50:15.49\00:50:19.30
to Christ, find true
happiness in this life,
00:50:19.50\00:50:22.35
and be saved for eternity.
00:50:22.55\00:50:24.56
Over 10,000
theological, social, family,
00:50:24.77\00:50:27.86
poetical,
musical, health programs,
00:50:28.07\00:50:30.62
programs for children and youth
and others have been produced.
00:50:30.82\00:50:35.39
I came across your website
00:50:42.77\00:50:45.11
and watched Face to Face
program with a man telling about
00:50:45.31\00:50:48.56
his personal
relationship with God.
00:50:48.76\00:50:50.80
As I listened to him
tears rolled down my cheeks
00:50:51.00\00:50:54.13
and I continued to watch
all of your programs till
00:50:54.33\00:50:57.12
late that night.
00:50:57.32\00:50:58.94
The workers of 3ABN do
God's work here on earth
00:51:02.29\00:51:05.84
because there are so many people
who learn about God and His love
00:51:06.14\00:51:09.87
through television. I
wish 3ABN even more success
00:51:09.97\00:51:13.85
in their ministry.
00:51:14.06\00:51:15.73
The Internet increasingly
becomes a powerful tool
00:51:20.71\00:51:23.99
in reaching people
with 3ABN Russia programs.
00:51:24.19\00:51:27.10
Our website gives
millions an opportunity to watch
00:51:27.30\00:51:30.53
the network's
programs 24 hours a day,
00:51:30.63\00:51:33.48
to download hundreds of
videos from our archive,
00:51:33.68\00:51:37.13
to order and read books,
take online Bible study course,
00:51:37.43\00:51:41.83
ask questions on the form
and get answers from pastors.
00:51:41.86\00:51:45.44
We have a children's website to
make it easier for the parents
00:51:45.74\00:51:49.53
to raise their kids in the
atmosphere of Christian values.
00:51:49.73\00:51:53.29
We receive a lot of
correspondence from our website
00:51:53.59\00:51:56.63
visitors.
00:51:56.83\00:51:58.07
I liked the new design of your
website as soon as I saw it.
00:52:07.02\00:52:10.23
I'd never watched your programs
before I visited your website.
00:52:12.68\00:52:15.84
When I saw them for the first
time I enjoyed them very much
00:52:16.04\00:52:19.08
and felt sorry that I
hadn't seen them before.
00:52:19.28\00:52:21.83
Now I always
watch your programs.
00:52:22.14\00:52:24.36
Many Russians who hunger
and thirst for God's Word
00:52:30.44\00:52:33.66
are in a big need of
Christian literature.
00:52:33.86\00:52:36.29
For them, we print books and
brochures and mail out Bibles.
00:52:36.49\00:52:40.75
We have sent to people
many thousands of Bibles
00:52:41.05\00:52:43.74
and children's Bibles and
hundreds of thousands of books
00:52:43.84\00:52:46.95
and brochures. Our literature
is widely used by church members
00:52:47.05\00:52:51.51
to be distributed in
hospitals and prisons
00:52:51.71\00:52:54.23
and among their
friends and loved ones.
00:52:54.43\00:52:56.41
Our New Life Bible study course
enjoys tremendous popularity
00:52:56.71\00:53:00.43
and has several
thousand graduates.
00:53:00.74\00:53:02.90
It is used by many churches
in their evangelistic outreach.
00:53:03.20\00:53:07.01
As I watched your Face to Face
programs I learned about God.
00:53:17.90\00:53:21.18
I also was attracted by
the opportunity to take your
00:53:21.42\00:53:24.43
New Life Bible study course.
00:53:24.53\00:53:26.18
After I completed the course
3ABN Russia sent me the Bible
00:53:26.38\00:53:29.66
so I could continue
studying God's Word on my own.
00:53:29.86\00:53:32.91
Today I'm here to tape
in a Face to Face program
00:53:33.21\00:53:36.52
and now my conversion
experience will help someone.
00:53:36.72\00:53:40.13
I'm also happy that I'm
a literature evangelist.
00:53:40.33\00:53:43.27
I enjoy studying the Bible with
your New Life Bible study guide.
00:53:44.63\00:53:48.03
Until I got them, I didn't
know even the basic things
00:53:48.23\00:53:51.70
about the Bible and
there was nobody to help me.
00:53:51.81\00:53:54.55
It was you who assisted
me in studying God's Word
00:53:54.85\00:53:57.62
and it had a great
impact not only on me but also
00:53:57.92\00:54:01.54
on my family.
00:54:01.74\00:54:03.36
The gospel needs to
reach the whole world
00:54:03.66\00:54:06.43
including its most remote parts.
00:54:06.63\00:54:09.09
Christian programming
received via satellite
00:54:09.29\00:54:12.25
television, full power and
cable stations or the Internet
00:54:12.35\00:54:16.35
is the fulfillment of the
greatest prophecy of the Bible
00:54:16.55\00:54:19.98
of Matthew 24:14:
00:54:20.18\00:54:22.62
We are thankful for the
prayers and sacrificial spirit
00:54:32.05\00:54:35.46
of all the supporters of
the ministry of 3ABN Russia
00:54:35.66\00:54:39.44
due to whom, by God's grace,
00:54:39.84\00:54:42.37
the good news of salvation
keeps reaching more and more
00:54:42.57\00:54:46.79
Russian people for the
eternal kingdom of Jesus Christ,
00:54:46.99\00:54:50.71
our Lord and Savior.
00:54:50.91\00:54:53.39
Amen. And Julia, we
have a couple minutes left.
00:55:02.42\00:55:06.11
You have some needs right
now as we do here in the States
00:55:06.31\00:55:08.97
in transitioning
from production equipment.
00:55:09.17\00:55:11.92
Tell us just in a minute or
two what some of the needs are.
00:55:11.95\00:55:14.63
Yes, 3ABN Russia is in its
20th year. This is what I wanted
00:55:14.93\00:55:19.02
to emphasize once again.
00:55:19.12\00:55:20.78
A lot of accomplishments,
but in year 2015
00:55:20.98\00:55:24.20
according to the Russian
law all television needs to
00:55:24.41\00:55:28.39
transition into 16x9
which is a completely...
00:55:28.49\00:55:32.84
It's the same here in the States
too. It's a different format
00:55:33.04\00:55:35.47
16 this way and 9
rather than past...
00:55:35.67\00:55:38.80
So we would need
the upgrading... I mean,
00:55:39.10\00:55:43.68
we would need a
lot of new equipment.
00:55:43.88\00:55:45.32
But for us to be able to
start making production in
00:55:45.52\00:55:48.85
this format already
so that what we tape now
00:55:49.05\00:55:51.71
doesn't go on the
shelf but can be used later
00:55:51.91\00:55:54.71
after year 2015.
00:55:54.91\00:55:56.56
We need about $25,000 to
do the current upgrading.
00:55:56.76\00:56:02.19
And also we have been
praying that the Lord allows us
00:56:02.33\00:56:05.55
to go on
satellite because in Russia
00:56:05.75\00:56:08.88
we believe that
probably next ten years
00:56:09.08\00:56:11.94
cable is going to develop fast
00:56:12.14\00:56:14.26
and satellite television
is going to develop fast
00:56:14.46\00:56:16.77
whereas Internet is not develop-
ing as fast there as here.
00:56:17.07\00:56:21.42
So it would be really very
good that our programs could be
00:56:21.66\00:56:24.09
rebroadcast from
satellite. This is what we are
00:56:24.19\00:56:26.51
very, very
earnestly praying about.
00:56:26.71\00:56:28.96
Amen. And when
they do go on satellite
00:56:29.16\00:56:31.20
it makes it so much
easier for the local cables
00:56:31.30\00:56:34.87
to pick them up at that point.
00:56:35.07\00:56:36.82
So that's a very
important thing to take place.
00:56:37.12\00:56:40.06
Well, we just have
about a minute or so left,
00:56:40.36\00:56:43.13
and I really want you to
pray and think about also this:
00:56:43.34\00:56:46.12
they do an
incredible amount of work
00:56:46.32\00:56:48.28
and average salary there is
something like $500 a month...
00:56:48.48\00:56:51.17
$400-$500 a
month. So we get so much
00:56:51.37\00:56:54.40
and the Russians do
so much with so little.
00:56:54.60\00:56:57.36
When you go there I'm amazed
at the amount of equipment
00:56:57.56\00:57:00.10
but the
creativity is unbelievable.
00:57:00.30\00:57:02.68
Some of the programming
that they are producing,
00:57:02.88\00:57:04.62
the amount of programs
that they are producing and able
00:57:04.82\00:57:08.43
to put into the homes of
potentially millions of people
00:57:08.53\00:57:11.23
that are watching is
nothing short of a miracle.
00:57:11.43\00:57:13.86
And I want to thank
you, Julia, for 19 years.
00:57:14.06\00:57:16.47
When we hired Julia she
was a professor of English.
00:57:16.67\00:57:19.04
Came to our meetings.
Was baptized through the
00:57:19.24\00:57:22.14
meetings of Elder John Carter.
00:57:22.34\00:57:23.67
And she was translator for
John Cantor for a few years.
00:57:23.87\00:57:29.37
And then later, after
the building was constructed,
00:57:29.57\00:57:31.84
became our General Manager there
and has done an incredible job.
00:57:32.04\00:57:35.04
So thank you for
what you are doing.
00:57:35.24\00:57:37.24
