Hello and welcome to
our 3ABN Fall Camp Meeting.
00:00:45.09\00:00:48.79
We've been having
such a wonderful time here
00:00:48.99\00:00:51.22
praising the
Lord, haven't we? Amen!
00:00:51.42\00:00:53.94
Have you been blessed? Amen!
00:00:54.04\00:00:56.56
Well the blessings are
going to keep on coming
00:00:56.60\00:00:58.94
because today we have
a special treat for you.
00:00:59.24\00:01:02.28
I'm here with Claire Luz
Day, and she's our director
00:01:02.68\00:01:06.15
of our children's programs
here at 3ABN Camp Meeting.
00:01:06.35\00:01:09.75
And the children here
in all the departments have
00:01:10.05\00:01:12.60
prepared some special
songs for us, haven't they?
00:01:12.70\00:01:14.85
Absolutely. So
right now I want to
00:01:15.05\00:01:17.28
introduce Claire Luz Day.
00:01:17.48\00:01:19.99
Happy Sabbath and I
just want you to know
00:01:20.19\00:01:23.49
it's been a joy to be here
with the children this year.
00:01:23.69\00:01:26.20
We have had such a
great teaching team.
00:01:26.41\00:01:28.95
Carla Mundall has
been with the Cradle Roll
00:01:29.15\00:01:32.05
teaching Jesus through nature.
00:01:32.15\00:01:33.84
And then in Primary
we've had Miss Laura Blanco
00:01:34.14\00:01:37.13
who has been sharing
how to choose wisely.
00:01:37.33\00:01:40.17
In the Junior Department
Connie Corrigan and Bill
00:01:40.37\00:01:43.03
have been teaching about the
sanctuary model and how it shows
00:01:43.23\00:01:46.15
the love of Jesus. And
then in our Earliteen/Youth
00:01:46.35\00:01:50.70
Daniel Arroyo and Julie Papuka
00:01:51.00\00:01:53.73
have been teaching
the Steps to Christ model
00:01:54.95\00:01:57.71
for how to get closer to Jesus.
00:01:57.91\00:01:59.61
We've had two
guest speakers this year
00:01:59.91\00:02:01.91
which are very exciting:
our great friend Uncle Dan
00:02:02.11\00:02:04.88
has been telling us
stories about forgiveness.
00:02:05.18\00:02:07.94
And we've also had
Ryan St. Hilaire from Unseen
00:02:08.24\00:02:11.61
Ministries to teach our young
people how to make good choices
00:02:11.71\00:02:15.48
in entertainment
venues as well as music.
00:02:15.69\00:02:18.94
Doesn't that sound
like a good program?
00:02:19.24\00:02:21.29
So now we would like
to sing three short pieces
00:02:21.79\00:02:26.15
for you. One which
all of us should take
00:02:26.35\00:02:29.10
to heart: I Corinthians 10:31.
00:02:29.30\00:02:31.27
How to make wise choices, and
you'll hear what that's about.
00:02:31.47\00:02:34.05
And then how every day
we need to talk to Jesus
00:02:34.45\00:02:38.71
and He'll help us
make wise choices.
00:02:38.81\00:02:40.79
And we will end with Seek
Ye First The Kingdom of God
00:02:40.99\00:02:45.04
with another piece.
And both of them will be
00:02:45.17\00:02:48.23
sung at the same time to close.
00:02:48.33\00:02:50.43
Because if we just seek
Jesus first, He's going to sing
00:02:50.63\00:02:54.88
and He's going to be in our
hearts and shine through us.
00:02:55.08\00:02:57.42
"Whatsoever ye eat or drink,
00:03:16.48\00:03:20.54
or whatsoever ye do
00:03:20.57\00:03:23.57
do all to the glory of God. "
00:03:23.77\00:03:28.46
I Corinthians 10: 31
00:03:28.76\00:03:34.36
When I wake up in the
morning and I lift up my head
00:03:42.23\00:03:47.05
I say: "praise the
Lord; praise the Lord. "
00:03:47.25\00:03:51.65
When I roll right out of bed
00:03:51.95\00:03:54.13
and my feet hit the floor
00:03:54.23\00:03:56.38
I say: "praise the
Lord; praise the Lord. "
00:03:56.58\00:04:00.64
"Good morning, Lord. I love You.
00:04:00.84\00:04:03.38
I just wanted You to know.
00:04:03.58\00:04:05.64
Here's my life, my
heart, my will, myself:
00:04:05.84\00:04:08.43
I give it all to You.
00:04:08.53\00:04:10.82
Help me make wise choices;
00:04:11.18\00:04:12.98
guide my feet along the way.
00:04:13.08\00:04:15.32
May Your words renew my mind,
Your Spirit fill me each day. "
00:04:15.52\00:04:21.15
When I see the morning sunlight
00:04:22.00\00:04:24.24
and I breathe in fresh air
00:04:24.44\00:04:26.91
I say "praise the
Lord; praise the Lord. "
00:04:27.11\00:04:31.55
When I spend time in God's
Word, talk to Jesus in prayer,
00:04:31.85\00:04:36.89
I say "praise the
Lord; praise the Lord. "
00:04:37.10\00:04:41.44
"Good morning, Lord, I love you.
00:04:41.74\00:04:44.12
I just wanted You to know.
00:04:44.32\00:04:46.51
Take my life, my
heart, my will, myself:
00:04:46.81\00:04:49.45
I give it all to You.
00:04:49.48\00:04:51.45
Help me make wise choices;
00:04:51.95\00:04:54.05
guide my feet along the way.
00:04:54.15\00:04:56.40
May Your words renew my mind,
00:04:56.60\00:04:58.80
Your Spirit fill me each day. "
00:04:59.00\00:05:03.14
Seek ye first the kingdom of God
00:05:03.64\00:05:09.57
and His righteousness.
00:05:09.77\00:05:15.29
And all these things
shall be added unto you
00:05:15.69\00:05:21.15
hallelu... hallelujah.
00:05:21.46\00:05:27.34
Jesus is the
answer to the world today.
00:05:27.64\00:05:32.69
Above Him there's no other;
00:05:33.00\00:05:35.62
Jesus is the way.
00:05:35.82\00:05:38.55
Jesus is the
answer to the world today.
00:05:38.85\00:05:43.99
Above Him there's no other;
00:05:44.29\00:05:46.91
Jesus is the way.
00:05:47.12\00:05:49.99
Seek ye first the kingdom of God
00:05:50.19\00:05:55.40
and His righteousness.
00:05:55.70\00:06:01.28
And all these things
shall be added unto you
00:06:01.58\00:06:06.65
hallelu...
00:06:06.95\00:06:09.20
hallelujah.
00:06:09.40\00:06:14.54
Amen.
00:06:14.84\00:06:16.95
Thank you, kids!
00:06:19.35\00:06:21.22
And you can see some of
those Kids' Time smiles?
00:06:21.32\00:06:24.15
You can go back out
that way now. Thank you.
00:06:25.28\00:06:27.91
Wasn't that a blessing? Amen!
00:06:28.21\00:06:30.82
Well I have another blessing
for you that's in store,
00:06:31.05\00:06:34.68
and that's a song
called Love Rules! from
00:06:34.89\00:06:37.65
Danny Shelton's
Love Rules! project.
00:06:37.85\00:06:39.73
How many here have
heard that DVD or CD?
00:06:39.93\00:06:43.25
It's amazing. For those of you
who have not yet seen that...
00:06:43.45\00:06:47.32
that DVD, you need to
get it. You need to watch it.
00:06:47.52\00:06:50.17
It's such a blessing.
00:06:50.37\00:06:51.64
I had the privilege of
co-producing this project
00:06:51.84\00:06:55.41
with Danny, and Danny wrote
every single one of these songs.
00:06:55.61\00:06:58.70
They're all based
on our Bible truth
00:06:59.00\00:07:01.45
and there's so many
wonderful, wonderful songs.
00:07:01.65\00:07:04.34
I love this whole album.
I've about got it memorized.
00:07:04.44\00:07:07.15
I listen to it all the time.
00:07:07.55\00:07:09.54
It doesn't matter
where I go in the world
00:07:09.64\00:07:11.36
it has been such a blessing.
00:07:11.56\00:07:13.06
And it teaches our
Bible truth to our children.
00:07:13.46\00:07:16.99
And they put it in such
a simple form that anybody
00:07:17.19\00:07:19.76
could understand. There's
even a song on the Trinity
00:07:19.86\00:07:22.41
on that album, and there's many
adults that don't understand
00:07:22.71\00:07:25.24
the Trinity. There's
songs on the Sabbath.
00:07:25.34\00:07:27.79
There's songs on witnessing.
00:07:27.99\00:07:29.74
Ten Commandments. I
had a little 4-year-old
00:07:30.04\00:07:33.04
come up to me and
recite the Ten Commandments
00:07:33.24\00:07:36.39
because she learned it
from that Love Rules! project.
00:07:36.59\00:07:39.69
A little girl in
Australia. Is that not amazing?
00:07:39.99\00:07:42.14
Little 4-year-old knows every
one of their Ten Commandments.
00:07:42.34\00:07:44.68
How many here know
the Ten Commandments
00:07:44.88\00:07:46.36
by heart? If I had to
have you word for word
00:07:46.56\00:07:48.81
could you say it? So
many adults... they might
00:07:48.91\00:07:51.15
know the basics
of what each one is
00:07:51.25\00:07:53.39
but to say it word for
word they might not get it.
00:07:53.59\00:07:55.91
But if you start
listening to this CD in your car
00:07:56.11\00:07:58.83
you'll start putting those
Bible truths into your heart too
00:07:59.03\00:08:02.52
and start remembering
your Ten Commandments again.
00:08:02.62\00:08:04.57
But today we're going
to play the title song.
00:08:04.87\00:08:07.71
It's called Love Rules!
00:08:07.91\00:08:09.50
and really it's all
about "God is love. "
00:08:09.70\00:08:11.59
And when you think
about it, in the end we know
00:08:11.79\00:08:14.83
the end of the story
here. We know God rules.
00:08:14.93\00:08:17.66
We know love rules.
00:08:17.86\00:08:19.04
And I know that you'll
receive a blessing: Love Rules!
00:08:19.24\00:08:22.77
There are rules at
home and rules at school,
00:08:30.84\00:08:34.57
Rules on the playground
and rules in the pool.
00:08:34.87\00:08:38.18
But there's one
rule that is the best
00:08:39.01\00:08:42.58
and if you keep this
rule you will be blessed.
00:08:42.78\00:08:47.71
Isn't it cool that love rules?
00:08:48.11\00:08:52.33
Isn't it great there's no hate
00:08:52.63\00:08:55.96
where love rules?
00:08:56.06\00:08:59.40
It's no accident, you see...
00:08:59.70\00:09:02.91
that's the way it's meant to be.
00:09:03.21\00:09:06.98
Since God is love, love rules.
00:09:07.28\00:09:12.40
Love rules.
00:09:13.74\00:09:16.13
There are rules for
this and rules for that.
00:09:17.69\00:09:21.26
There are even rules
for the dog and the cat.
00:09:21.46\00:09:24.75
There are some we
like and some we don't.
00:09:24.95\00:09:28.37
Some we'll keep
and some we won't.
00:09:28.67\00:09:31.84
But there's one
rule that is the best
00:09:32.92\00:09:36.19
and if you keep this
rule you will be blessed.
00:09:36.49\00:09:41.60
Isn't it cool that love rules?
00:09:42.00\00:09:46.11
Isn't it great there's no hate
00:09:46.41\00:09:49.86
where love rules?
00:09:50.06\00:09:53.14
It's no accident, you see...
00:09:53.44\00:09:56.71
that's the way it's meant to be.
00:09:57.01\00:10:00.77
Since God is love, love rules.
00:10:01.07\00:10:06.23
Love rules.
00:10:07.48\00:10:10.01
Now the Bible tells
00:10:11.75\00:10:14.94
of God's great love.
00:10:15.15\00:10:18.02
How Jesus came
00:10:19.04\00:10:21.68
from heaven above.
00:10:21.98\00:10:25.55
He gave His life on Calvary;
00:10:27.67\00:10:31.16
He died that day so the
whole world could see...
00:10:31.36\00:10:36.42
Isn't it cool that love rules?
00:10:36.72\00:10:40.99
Isn't it great there's no hate
00:10:41.29\00:10:44.53
where love rules?
00:10:44.83\00:10:47.91
It's no accident, you see...
00:10:48.21\00:10:51.67
that's the way it's meant to be.
00:10:51.97\00:10:55.58
Since God is love...
00:10:55.88\00:10:58.62
Isn't it cool that love rules?
00:10:58.92\00:11:02.95
Isn't it great there's no hate
00:11:03.25\00:11:06.67
where love rules?
00:11:06.87\00:11:10.07
It's no accident, you see...
00:11:10.37\00:11:13.77
that's the way it's meant to be.
00:11:13.97\00:11:17.84
Since God is love, love rules.
00:11:18.04\00:11:23.16
Love rules.
00:11:24.24\00:11:26.72
Love rules.
00:11:27.80\00:11:30.35
Love rules.
00:11:31.57\00:11:34.32
Love Rules! Amen!
00:11:34.52\00:11:38.30
Amen and amen!
00:11:38.61\00:11:40.16
Isn't it
wonderful that love rules?
00:11:41.07\00:11:43.30
How many here appreciate
our children's programming
00:11:44.14\00:11:47.68
on Three Angels
Broadcasting Network? Amen?
00:11:47.71\00:11:50.74
You know, I have a lot
of love and appreciation
00:11:50.98\00:11:54.84
for 3ABN to tackle
children's programming because
00:11:55.04\00:11:58.29
it's one of the most
difficult things to do
00:11:58.49\00:12:01.20
if you could
imagine just production.
00:12:01.40\00:12:03.22
It's not so hard to
have a preacher up in front
00:12:03.42\00:12:06.04
and film that. Or even to
have some people sitting down
00:12:06.24\00:12:09.36
you know and they're
having a nice conversation
00:12:09.46\00:12:11.20
and you can film that.
00:12:11.40\00:12:13.07
But it's a whole different ball
game when you're taping kids
00:12:13.27\00:12:16.57
and animals... and we do both.
00:12:16.87\00:12:19.10
And so when you've got
kids... I really want to say
00:12:19.66\00:12:22.99
a special thank you to
my sisters Linda and Cinda,
00:12:23.19\00:12:26.47
who host and
produce Tiny Tots for Jesus
00:12:26.67\00:12:29.49
because I say to
them all the time
00:12:29.79\00:12:32.02
"I praise God that God didn't
call me to do that program"
00:12:32.22\00:12:35.23
because they really
have the challenges.
00:12:35.83\00:12:38.22
I think they have the most
difficult task here at 3ABN.
00:12:38.42\00:12:40.93
I really do. If you've
ever been to a Tiny Tot taping,
00:12:41.03\00:12:43.90
and they've got these
little ones on the set
00:12:44.10\00:12:47.14
and they've got the battery
pack for their microphones
00:12:47.34\00:12:49.80
in their diapers. And of course
if that diaper gets filled
00:12:50.00\00:12:52.37
a little bit it gets heavy
and that just slides right off!
00:12:52.47\00:12:55.00
And I see them have to
"Cut! We have to stop. "
00:12:57.08\00:13:00.43
Or you know those little
ones have a mind of their own
00:13:00.63\00:13:02.98
and so you'll be
taping and all of a sudden
00:13:03.18\00:13:04.82
they'll just wander off.
00:13:04.92\00:13:06.39
And it's the cutest
little thing, but you know
00:13:07.27\00:13:09.71
I look at my
sisters and I can't tell you
00:13:09.91\00:13:12.54
all the things that my sister
Auntie Linda has been sitting
00:13:12.74\00:13:16.27
with a child in her
lap and had many surprises
00:13:16.37\00:13:19.46
throughout the taping.
00:13:19.66\00:13:20.85
She's had a lot of stuff
wiped on her in the taping.
00:13:21.15\00:13:23.63
And she's had so many blessings.
00:13:24.44\00:13:26.45
One particular one is that...
00:13:26.75\00:13:29.13
that I love the story of
when she said they were reading
00:13:29.43\00:13:32.26
a Bible story
and the little girl
00:13:32.46\00:13:35.16
they were all
talking all about heaven.
00:13:35.36\00:13:36.84
And the little girl, you
know, jerked on my sister's arm
00:13:37.14\00:13:40.55
and she goes: "Auntie Linda... "
00:13:40.65\00:13:42.35
And my sister looked
down at her and said "Yes
00:13:42.55\00:13:44.90
sweetie? " She said: "I
ain't goin' to heaven. "
00:13:44.93\00:13:47.67
And my sister's
like: "Well why not? "
00:13:49.02\00:13:52.35
"Cause I's scared of heights. "
00:13:52.75\00:13:55.18
They're so precious...
they're absolutely so precious.
00:14:00.41\00:14:04.14
I love 'em and I can
tell you the hours and hours
00:14:04.44\00:14:08.54
that it takes to tape those
programs with these adorable
00:14:08.75\00:14:11.84
little kids, and I've had
such a... It's been a privilege
00:14:11.94\00:14:15.83
and a blessing to tape
Kids' Time here on 3ABN.
00:14:15.93\00:14:19.85
I've been a full-time
volunteer here for now 14 years.
00:14:20.15\00:14:23.19
Kids' Time's been on the
air every day for 13 years.
00:14:23.29\00:14:26.32
Can you imagine?
00:14:26.52\00:14:27.57
It doesn't seem possible.
00:14:27.97\00:14:29.53
And every year it
seems like it just gets
00:14:29.83\00:14:34.49
better and better in terms
of God keeps raisin' the bar.
00:14:35.51\00:14:39.09
And He keeps
growing us and growing us.
00:14:39.40\00:14:41.84
Every year I think:
"How can we possibly
00:14:42.04\00:14:43.94
grow any more? " And
God keeps growing us.
00:14:45.15\00:14:47.23
And that's really a God thing.
00:14:47.53\00:14:50.17
When you're really
holding Jesus' hand in ministry
00:14:50.37\00:14:52.35
He's going to
take you all the way.
00:14:52.55\00:14:54.25
He's going to take you every-
where you're supposed to go.
00:14:54.45\00:14:56.26
And I've met the most
incredible, wonderful, precious
00:14:56.66\00:14:59.56
children and their families.
00:14:59.76\00:15:01.13
And it's been a
real, real blessing.
00:15:01.33\00:15:03.12
And before I get into what I
want to talk with you next about
00:15:03.52\00:15:08.27
'cause I have an
exciting announcement
00:15:08.47\00:15:10.01
and things to share with you,
00:15:10.12\00:15:11.26
I was teasing you a little bit
beforehand about the Love Rules!
00:15:11.37\00:15:14.85
project and how awesome it
is and about the Ten Commandment
00:15:14.95\00:15:18.54
song. And I've had some of you
say: "I don't think it's fair.
00:15:18.64\00:15:21.64
You should let us hear the
Ten Commandment song too. "
00:15:21.74\00:15:24.21
And so I agree with you
because it's such a wonderful
00:15:24.51\00:15:27.76
wonderful song. So
right now I want to
00:15:27.96\00:15:31.08
have you listen to
The Ten Commandments
00:15:31.28\00:15:34.61
written by Danny Shelton
from the Love Rules! project.
00:15:34.71\00:15:37.35
Love God and
keep His commandments:
00:15:48.22\00:15:52.03
this is the duty of man.
00:15:52.83\00:15:56.44
Fear God and
keep His commandments:
00:15:56.84\00:16:00.53
they are His gift to man.
00:16:01.30\00:16:05.00
Love the Lord
with all you heart and
00:16:05.85\00:16:10.33
love your neighbor as yourself.
00:16:10.63\00:16:14.45
Blessed are they
that do His commandments:
00:16:14.66\00:16:18.50
these are the children of God.
00:16:18.90\00:16:22.40
The laws of God are His promises
00:16:29.48\00:16:33.60
to guide and
protect us from sin.
00:16:34.14\00:16:37.81
The law of God is everlasting
00:16:38.21\00:16:42.42
with no beginning or end.
00:16:43.12\00:16:46.79
Love the Lord
with all your heart and
00:16:47.59\00:16:51.67
love your neighbor as yourself.
00:16:52.07\00:16:55.84
Blessed are they
that do His commandments:
00:16:56.14\00:17:00.09
these are the children of God.
00:17:00.49\00:17:04.05

with all your heart and
00:19:02.72\00:19:06.98
love your neighbor as yourself.
00:19:07.28\00:19:10.89
Blessed are they
that do His commandments:
00:19:11.09\00:19:15.28
these are the children of God.
00:19:15.80\00:19:19.54
These are the children of God.
00:19:19.84\00:19:23.62
These are the children
00:19:24.25\00:19:27.77
of God.
00:19:28.07\00:19:31.22
I have to share this
with you, Pastor Gilley,
00:19:41.28\00:19:44.40
and our audience. We had
8 kids come from Trinidad
00:19:44.60\00:19:48.14
and Tobago this year. Yes.
00:19:48.24\00:19:49.61
I was speaking at a
children's retreat there
00:19:49.81\00:19:51.87
and right before the retreat...
00:19:52.07\00:19:53.80
And God worked an
incredible miracle.
00:19:53.90\00:19:55.49
We were missing 8 children...
00:19:55.79\00:19:58.36
I had eight slots
open for Praise Time.
00:19:58.46\00:20:00.49
We were taping in just 2 months
and kids need time to practice,
00:20:00.69\00:20:04.37
so we knew it was
down to the deadline.
00:20:04.57\00:20:06.18
Usually by two months
they want to know farther ahead
00:20:06.38\00:20:08.56
in advance so they can
memorize all their songs.
00:20:08.66\00:20:10.74
I am praying and I'm praying
and I'm praying and I'm saying:
00:20:11.04\00:20:13.33
"Lord, who do You
want on this program? "
00:20:13.43\00:20:15.44
I have to pray about everything.
I don't know it; God knows.
00:20:15.54\00:20:17.67
It's His program, and yet
I was sharing with the Lord
00:20:17.77\00:20:20.56
just before we went on this trip
00:20:20.76\00:20:22.49
"God, You know
You're really pushing it.
00:20:22.69\00:20:24.49
You know these kids
have got to learn these songs
00:20:24.69\00:20:27.52
and so when are You going
to show me who I'm supposed to
00:20:27.82\00:20:30.87
invite for this program? "
And I do get a lot of DVDs...
00:20:30.97\00:20:34.39
I get quite a few
DVDS in the mail or YouTube
00:20:34.52\00:20:37.73
that people
want me to listen to.
00:20:37.83\00:20:38.99
And I've got to
be honest with you:
00:20:39.09\00:20:40.71
most of them really
only a grandmother's going to
00:20:41.01\00:20:43.93
appreciate. Right.
And so I have to really
00:20:44.03\00:20:47.37
pray and pray and pray on who
God wants to be on this program.
00:20:47.47\00:20:50.28
And I have to keep
the standard very high,
00:20:50.58\00:20:52.63
because if I
didn't... Two reasons:
00:20:52.83\00:20:55.14
Number one: if I didn't
keep the standards high,
00:20:55.34\00:20:57.86
the kids at home
that I'm trying to reach
00:20:58.06\00:20:59.77
and bring them closer to Jesus
00:20:59.97\00:21:01.30
they're just going to look
at it and go laugh: "Ha, ha, ha,
00:21:01.50\00:21:03.59
look at so and so. I
could do better than that. "
00:21:03.69\00:21:05.43
They're not going
to have that respect
00:21:05.63\00:21:07.47
and they're not going
to listen to the message.
00:21:07.67\00:21:09.49
Also number two: if I wasn't
careful about it, everybody'd be
00:21:09.59\00:21:13.73
flipping the channels
and nobody'd be watching.
00:21:13.94\00:21:15.73
So God really has a high
standard He wants us to meet.
00:21:15.93\00:21:18.58
Well Pastor Gilley, when I
got over there for that retreat
00:21:18.78\00:21:21.86
my assistant Melissa Hoffman
and I both had special prayer
00:21:22.06\00:21:25.64
on the plane even that
somewhere we were hoping
00:21:25.74\00:21:28.29
for one or two musical numbers
that maybe someday we could
00:21:28.49\00:21:31.70
invite to be on the program.
00:21:31.81\00:21:32.90
They had a musical over there
00:21:33.11\00:21:35.06
for the afternoon, and it
was a two-hour long musical.
00:21:35.36\00:21:39.20
And I mean to tell you
we filled all eight slots
00:21:39.51\00:21:43.80
for our Praise Time
at one place. Amen? Wow!
00:21:44.00\00:21:47.06
It blew me away. I sat
there with just goose bumps
00:21:47.26\00:21:50.17
and just praising God. I
said: "Lord, You are so good.
00:21:50.27\00:21:52.49
I asked You for two. You
gave me the whole plate. "
00:21:52.59\00:21:55.62
Amen. And God is
good. So they came over
00:21:55.82\00:21:58.03
and they paid their own
way to come here. Amen? Wow!
00:21:58.23\00:22:01.00
And sometimes
churches raise the money.
00:22:01.20\00:22:03.47
If you have some really
incredible talent in your
00:22:03.67\00:22:06.11
churches - and I'm not just
speaking to our 3ABN audience
00:22:06.21\00:22:08.30
that's physically here.
Also our audience that is
00:22:08.40\00:22:11.19
that's watching right now
00:22:11.39\00:22:14.40
if you have children in your
church that are so musically
00:22:14.60\00:22:16.91
talented you know they
need to be on Praise Time
00:22:17.01\00:22:19.06
why not sponsor them to come?
00:22:19.36\00:22:21.66
Get in touch with me.
You can go to my website.
00:22:21.86\00:22:23.76
www. brendawalsh. com
00:22:23.96\00:22:25.19
click on contact - my
contact information is there -
00:22:25.39\00:22:28.74
and let me know
about those kids, will you?
00:22:28.94\00:22:31.11
You know, kids are
so important, folks.
00:22:31.41\00:22:33.89
I mean, so many times we
get the idea that we will use
00:22:34.09\00:22:38.20
television and the
ministry to reach adults only
00:22:38.30\00:22:42.46
and that's kind
of in our thinking.
00:22:42.60\00:22:44.39
Listen: the three
angels' messages needs to go
00:22:44.59\00:22:48.30
to children. It's just as
important or more important
00:22:48.50\00:22:52.25
than it is to go to adults.
00:22:52.45\00:22:53.81
You see, if we can
reach them with Jesus
00:22:54.11\00:22:56.84
while they're in those form...
those years where they're
00:22:57.04\00:22:59.66
forming their whole future...
If we can reach them with Jesus
00:22:59.76\00:23:04.22
then, you don't have
to do so much later on
00:23:04.42\00:23:07.25
to try to get them -
Amen - back to the Lord, see?
00:23:07.46\00:23:11.00
So this is so important.
00:23:11.24\00:23:13.07
And this is why that
we began to talk to Brenda
00:23:13.27\00:23:16.32
about a kids' network.
00:23:16.52\00:23:19.05
Because we feel that 24/7
we've got to be reaching out
00:23:19.25\00:23:24.85
to young people - Amen -
and to kids and use every
00:23:24.95\00:23:28.80
means.
Television is our main means
00:23:28.99\00:23:32.25
but there are other
means. The Internet.
00:23:32.45\00:23:35.16
And some of the new
things that we're dealing with
00:23:35.36\00:23:39.42
in the Internet that we are
also - right - wanting to be
00:23:39.62\00:23:42.93
a part of the
Kids' Time ministry.
00:23:43.03\00:23:44.83
Well the devil is
trying to steal our children.
00:23:44.93\00:23:46.82
Let's just face it. He
is. And he's using every
00:23:46.92\00:23:49.06
means out there possible.
And Pastor Gilley, like you said
00:23:49.26\00:23:51.75
it's the Internet,
it's the video games,
00:23:51.95\00:23:54.23
it's the television...
It's all these things
00:23:54.44\00:23:56.17
that the devil is using to
take the minds of our children
00:23:56.37\00:23:59.46
away from God. Yes.
And we need to do more
00:23:59.57\00:24:02.27
to counteract that. We need
to do more for our children.
00:24:02.47\00:24:05.76
We need to
spiritually feed them.
00:24:05.96\00:24:07.67
And so Pastor Gilley,
maybe you could share with
00:24:07.97\00:24:11.33
with our viewers your
commitment here as president
00:24:11.53\00:24:15.62
of 3ABN and your leadership team
00:24:15.82\00:24:18.18
about children's
ministries. You know, in 2008
00:24:18.38\00:24:21.98
we... the whole
world... hit an economic crisis.
00:24:22.18\00:24:26.23
And here at 3ABN it
was so tempting... In fact,
00:24:26.43\00:24:30.95
so many letters came from
people and from business people
00:24:31.15\00:24:34.86
that would seek
us out individually
00:24:35.06\00:24:37.29
and say: "You must cut back. "
00:24:37.49\00:24:39.38
"You must reduce your staff. "
00:24:39.58\00:24:41.94
"You must cut your expenses. "
00:24:42.14\00:24:44.34
We did. We cut every expense
00:24:44.65\00:24:48.02
that we possibly could
cut without cutting staff.
00:24:48.22\00:24:52.49
Because we need
every single person we have
00:24:52.69\00:24:56.01
to produce the
programs that we produce.
00:24:56.21\00:24:59.54
We prayed about it
00:24:59.85\00:25:01.67
and the answer kept coming
back: "You are not in a ministry
00:25:01.87\00:25:07.74
that can cut
back. You must expand.
00:25:07.94\00:25:10.74
You must go forward
00:25:11.04\00:25:12.78
as it's too late in world's
history to be downsizing. "
00:25:13.09\00:25:17.53
And so we said:
"Lord, the economy is
00:25:17.73\00:25:21.16
the way it is and all the
great minds are telling us
00:25:21.37\00:25:24.31
to downsize. "
And the Lord says:
00:25:24.51\00:25:26.84
"I'm telling you
not to downsize. "
00:25:26.94\00:25:29.03
Amen. "I'm telling
you to move forward. "
00:25:29.13\00:25:30.93
So we began to move forward...
a little cautiously at first
00:25:31.13\00:25:34.31
because, folks, it was
scary when you saw the economic
00:25:34.51\00:25:38.54
situation the way it was.
00:25:38.64\00:25:40.43
But we said "We are
not going to quit. "
00:25:40.73\00:25:42.99
First of all, not
one person was laid off
00:25:43.19\00:25:46.21
for financial reasons. Amen. And
that was extremely important.
00:25:46.41\00:25:51.63
There were a couple of people
as David Asscherick was talking
00:25:51.84\00:25:55.83
about through their
own choice made choices
00:25:55.93\00:25:58.63
that said they had to go.
00:25:58.83\00:26:00.45
But that was not
involving our financial.
00:26:00.65\00:26:05.77
We had to hire somebody
to take those individual's
00:26:05.97\00:26:09.13
places. But I
will tell you this:
00:26:09.23\00:26:12.01
that we have
moved forward by faith
00:26:12.41\00:26:16.35
and God has been with
us every step of the way.
00:26:16.55\00:26:20.99
Amen. We're not
spending one dime
00:26:21.09\00:26:23.44
that we don't have to
spend. We cut our travel expense
00:26:23.64\00:26:27.78
extremely. We do a
lot of our LIVES here now
00:26:28.08\00:26:31.97
rather than doing
them out on the road.
00:26:32.17\00:26:34.41
We still go on the road
00:26:34.71\00:26:36.05
but one year just
before I came here
00:26:36.26\00:26:39.13
260 days out of the year
our team was on the road.
00:26:39.33\00:26:44.34
And when you
consider the cost of that
00:26:44.57\00:26:47.55
we cut 200 days out of that.
00:26:47.75\00:26:51.92
The next year we
were only out 60 days,
00:26:52.12\00:26:54.99
and that cut over a million
dollars out of our expenses
00:26:55.20\00:26:59.31
that we could put
back into broadcasting.
00:26:59.34\00:27:01.44
So you see, we were there.
00:27:01.64\00:27:03.22
So now we begin to move forward.
00:27:03.42\00:27:05.48
And some of the things that
happened - we'll hear about more
00:27:05.68\00:27:08.74
later - but the main one
has been making a decision
00:27:08.85\00:27:12.80
about the children's
program. The Kids' Network.
00:27:13.01\00:27:15.61
And we said: "Do we
want to do that here? "
00:27:15.91\00:27:18.23
And as we looked at it,
we need more production space
00:27:18.43\00:27:21.36
here and we don't
have... We have to bring so many
00:27:21.56\00:27:23.75
young people in here. We
began to pray, and the Lord
00:27:23.86\00:27:26.94
led us to
Collegedale... to that area.
00:27:27.14\00:27:30.25
And we are still
looking for a piece of property
00:27:30.48\00:27:33.15
but we know God has a
specific piece of property
00:27:33.35\00:27:36.70
for us there just like
He had property for us here.
00:27:36.90\00:27:40.01
And in case anybody
missed it 3ABN is launching
00:27:40.31\00:27:43.49
a brand new network
just for kids. Amen.
00:27:43.69\00:27:47.32
24/7 programming.
00:27:47.45\00:27:49.41
And Pastor Gilley, something
that you might not have known
00:27:49.61\00:27:52.73
but when 3ABN asked me
to be the general manager
00:27:52.94\00:27:56.04
of this network it wasn't
something I considered lightly.
00:27:56.24\00:27:59.94
I mean I really prayed about it.
00:28:00.15\00:28:01.71
And I had to go to my husband
and I had to ask him to pray
00:28:01.91\00:28:05.09
about it. 'Cause I said: "Honey,
this is going to even take
00:28:05.19\00:28:07.77
more of my time. "
And when I said "yes"
00:28:07.87\00:28:10.54
and my husband said "yes"
00:28:10.74\00:28:12.12
we did so believing that
it was going to be right here.
00:28:12.32\00:28:15.66
Now some of you don't know
but being a full-time volunteer
00:28:15.86\00:28:19.39
means I tape Kids' Time
about 7 months out of the year.
00:28:19.59\00:28:22.59
That means seven months out
of the year I am here taping
00:28:22.79\00:28:25.29
programs during the
week away from my family.
00:28:25.39\00:28:28.66
And so that has been
a tremendous sacrifice.
00:28:28.96\00:28:31.40
And so I had said "yes" that
I would accept this position.
00:28:31.60\00:28:35.97
I was getting ready to go
over to Australia to speak -
00:28:36.07\00:28:38.54
I think I spoke
22 times in 17 days -
00:28:38.74\00:28:41.63
and while I was over there on
the plane I got my computer out
00:28:41.93\00:28:47.29
and I wrote down all the reasons
that I thought that Kids' Time
00:28:47.49\00:28:51.83
should be taped in Collegedale
and not here at 3ABN.
00:28:52.03\00:28:56.37
And I had listed... because
there's no children here.
00:28:56.60\00:28:59.28
You know, it's all I can
do to get enough kids to come
00:28:59.58\00:29:02.10
here to be a part of Kids' Time
00:29:02.30\00:29:03.86
and my sisters for Tiny Tots.
00:29:04.06\00:29:05.93
But to do 24/7 programming
for kids? Where were we
00:29:06.13\00:29:09.62
going to get those kids? So
I am listing all the reasons
00:29:09.72\00:29:12.40
that... I've got this
already addressed to you
00:29:12.60\00:29:14.40
and to Adcom of all the reasons
it should be in Collegedale.
00:29:14.50\00:29:17.48
And I had some
really good reasons.
00:29:17.78\00:29:19.72
I was thinking about the college
and all the students there
00:29:19.82\00:29:22.44
that could come and
intern at our new studios.
00:29:22.64\00:29:26.24
All the volunteers that could
come. We have lots of energetic
00:29:26.54\00:29:29.45
senior citizens in the
area that could come and help.
00:29:29.48\00:29:31.67
Not to mention
there's over 5,000 children -
00:29:31.97\00:29:35.78
Adventist children - in
the Collegedale area alone
00:29:35.99\00:29:38.67
not to mention all the non-
Adventist children in the area.
00:29:38.87\00:29:41.40
So I had all this listed.
Now this is the first time
00:29:41.70\00:29:44.13
I'm telling him
this. He has no idea.
00:29:44.23\00:29:46.31
Don't you love this?
00:29:46.72\00:29:48.36
I do, yes. On live TV I'm
going to make a confession.
00:29:48.56\00:29:51.23
We don't have a teleprompter
- you may notice that -
00:29:52.67\00:29:55.29
but go ahead. And so I'm
getting ready to land in Sydney
00:29:55.39\00:30:00.12
in the airport, and before they
tell us to turn our computers
00:30:00.32\00:30:04.18
off - of course we don't
have Internet on that stretch -
00:30:04.28\00:30:08.97
but I'm
thinking: "OK, I'm going to
00:30:09.07\00:30:11.17
as soon as I land I
get airport intercom
00:30:11.37\00:30:14.84
I'm going to send that to you. "
00:30:15.04\00:30:16.18
I had a little time in
that airport to change planes.
00:30:16.48\00:30:19.55
But when I landed in Sydney
00:30:19.95\00:30:22.45
and I pulled up,
I got the Internet
00:30:22.65\00:30:24.12
and I went to push that send
button and God told me not to
00:30:24.32\00:30:27.59
send it. Hmmm.
And I argued with Him!
00:30:27.69\00:30:30.48
I thought: "But Lord, I spent
all this time. I've got it all
00:30:30.58\00:30:33.06
thought out. " I said:
I've really... I've categorized
00:30:33.26\00:30:35.70
it all. I have all my
details of why for each thing. "
00:30:35.80\00:30:38.54
And God told me not to send it.
00:30:38.84\00:30:40.50
And so I put it in my draft. OK.
00:30:40.80\00:30:43.55
And I put it in my draft
and said: "OK, Lord, I'll just
00:30:43.69\00:30:45.94
pray about it. Surely
You don't mean not ever. "
00:30:46.04\00:30:48.64
And when I got home
00:30:48.94\00:30:50.82
I prayed about it again
that morning in my worship
00:30:51.02\00:30:53.95
and God said: "No Brenda,
I'm in charge of this network.
00:30:54.15\00:30:56.71
Don't sent it. " Did
you know that afternoon
00:30:56.91\00:31:00.24
is when Pastor
Gilley called me and told me
00:31:00.38\00:31:04.91
that you had decided to build
that network in Collegedale,
00:31:05.11\00:31:08.56
Tennessee. I tell
you, praise the Lord!
00:31:08.67\00:31:11.05
Isn't that a
big praise the Lord?
00:31:11.35\00:31:13.86
That's right. It really is.
00:31:14.06\00:31:15.57
And when I told my husband that
for the first time in 14 years
00:31:15.88\00:31:20.35
I was going to be able to...
'Cause my husband is president
00:31:20.55\00:31:22.71
of a company in
Chattanooga, Tennessee.
00:31:22.81\00:31:24.50
And for the first time ever
I was going to be able to go
00:31:24.80\00:31:27.11
to work each day
and come home at night.
00:31:27.21\00:31:29.28
Amen? I'll tell you, we're
excited about it. We really are.
00:31:29.48\00:31:33.39
And we're praying that the
people in the Collegedale area
00:31:33.59\00:31:38.07
will get excited about it too.
00:31:38.27\00:31:39.65
Some of them area, and we're
praying that more of them will
00:31:39.86\00:31:43.18
and that this
will become a reality
00:31:43.38\00:31:46.20
because this has
such great potential.
00:31:46.40\00:31:49.58
And there's so many aspects
of this that we're just not
00:31:49.79\00:31:53.55
yet ready to go public with.
00:31:53.65\00:31:55.86
But I will tell you that God is
doing some unbelievable things.
00:31:56.06\00:32:01.14
And we believe His work
is going to be finished.
00:32:01.37\00:32:04.12
It's going to be
finished with kids.
00:32:04.32\00:32:06.31
It's going to be
finished with minorities.
00:32:06.51\00:32:08.59
It's going to be finished
with people that speak languages
00:32:08.79\00:32:11.47
other than we speak and
it's going to be finished
00:32:11.57\00:32:15.56
with those who do speak - that's
right - and understand English.
00:32:15.66\00:32:18.00
So we're just excited
about what God's doing.
00:32:18.20\00:32:20.93
You know, Pastor Gilley,
when we sat down and did a live
00:32:21.03\00:32:24.03
program with Danny and
kicked it off on a Thursday
00:32:24.14\00:32:26.36
night Live! program we
were asking for name suggestions
00:32:26.46\00:32:30.03
of what we should
call this network.
00:32:30.23\00:32:31.82
And so we got lots of responses.
00:32:32.02\00:32:34.90
Some of them were very good
ones; other ones were really
00:32:35.11\00:32:38.26
kind of out there and
everything in between.
00:32:38.37\00:32:40.89
It took a lot of
prayer and consideration
00:32:40.99\00:32:43.80
and we decided to
keep it very simple.
00:32:44.00\00:32:46.42
And we are calling
it 3ABN Kids' Network.
00:32:46.62\00:32:50.63
And that way any
time we're referring to it
00:32:50.83\00:32:53.05
it's our Kids' Network.
And I'd like to show you
00:32:53.16\00:32:55.26
the logo that...
out there right now.
00:32:55.46\00:32:57.95
That's our brand new
3ABN Kids' Network logo.
00:32:58.05\00:33:01.45
And... thank you. That's good.
00:33:01.65\00:33:05.19
You can go ahead.
That's a praise the Lord.
00:33:05.39\00:33:06.78
That's a prayed for logo.
00:33:06.88\00:33:08.36
And it actually took...
A whole lot of people were
00:33:08.46\00:33:11.03
involved in getting that
particular logo just the way
00:33:11.13\00:33:13.53
God wanted it. And if
you like it, that means
00:33:13.63\00:33:15.52
you're a kid. Because
it's not meant for me...
00:33:15.62\00:33:19.45
it's meant for
kids. It's meant for kids.
00:33:19.65\00:33:21.46
That's right. And we thought
it would just keep it very
00:33:21.66\00:33:24.78
simple for kids and it
would appeal to churches of all
00:33:24.89\00:33:28.76
denominations. And
we are going to provide
00:33:28.86\00:33:32.15
wonderful
Christ-centered programming.
00:33:32.35\00:33:34.35
And I wanted to share with you
some of the types of programs
00:33:34.55\00:33:37.40
that we're going to
actually be putting on the air.
00:33:37.60\00:33:41.12
Because it's going to
take a lot of programming.
00:33:41.32\00:33:43.06
Not just Kids'
Time and Tiny Tots.
00:33:43.17\00:33:45.01
But I would like to show you...
I've put together some slides
00:33:45.31\00:33:47.69
for you... some of
the ideas that we have.
00:33:47.79\00:33:49.98
And I'm looking forward to
receiving some of your ideas
00:33:50.19\00:33:52.91
for the program. Some of
the things that you would like
00:33:53.11\00:33:55.13
to see on the network.
But go ahead and put those
00:33:55.23\00:33:57.94
slides up there for me
if you would right now.
00:33:58.04\00:34:00.04
And... well this
just gives you an idea
00:34:00.34\00:34:03.28
of what it would look like.
I think the slide before this
00:34:03.38\00:34:05.94
showed a building, but
this is like if we have
00:34:06.04\00:34:08.53
a remote truck.
There's our proposed building
00:34:08.63\00:34:11.94
just to give you an idea
what that logo would look like
00:34:12.14\00:34:14.09
on a building. And
then the truck is...
00:34:14.19\00:34:16.15
We are going to have a remote
truck where we can go out and do
00:34:16.35\00:34:18.37
live programming. If our
network was just all canned
00:34:18.47\00:34:21.60
programming it
could be very boring.
00:34:21.70\00:34:23.12
But we're going
to have live events.
00:34:23.22\00:34:24.36
Whenever there's a big
huge children's convention
00:34:24.56\00:34:26.66
we'll be there.
When a great big church
00:34:26.87\00:34:28.02
is having a wonderful children's
program we'll be there.
00:34:28.12\00:34:30.84
And so I'd like to have
lots and lots of live programs
00:34:31.07\00:34:34.31
and maybe our summer youth
camps have wonderful programs
00:34:34.41\00:34:36.93
we could have
live productions from.
00:34:37.13\00:34:40.05
Also after that you can
just keep those slides up
00:34:40.36\00:34:42.91
if you would. That shows you
what we call "the button... "
00:34:43.11\00:34:46.37
our web address. It
will be www. 3abnkids. tv
00:34:46.47\00:34:50.56
And some of the programs
also - next slide - will show...
00:34:50.76\00:34:54.52
We're going to have some where
we're going to have church.
00:34:54.72\00:34:57.22
Every Sabbath morning
there'll be children's church.
00:34:57.42\00:35:00.19
There'll be a Sabbath School
for every single division.
00:35:00.39\00:35:02.54
You'll have Cradle
Roll, Kindergarten,
00:35:02.74\00:35:04.68
Primary, Juniors, Earliteens.
00:35:04.88\00:35:06.92
And the target age for
this network is 14 and under.
00:35:07.12\00:35:10.52
We're not appealing to
the teenagers in this network
00:35:10.92\00:35:13.59
because, let's face it,
most teens are not going to want
00:35:13.79\00:35:16.41
to watch at network called Kids.
00:35:16.62\00:35:19.45
So we're focusing on the kids.
00:35:19.65\00:35:21.36
Here we're going to
have lots of praise music.
00:35:21.56\00:35:24.21
Oh so many kids will
now have an opportunity
00:35:24.51\00:35:26.79
to come out. More than ever
we'll have more praise music.
00:35:26.99\00:35:30.00
And then we'll have mission
projects. I'm teaming up with
00:35:30.30\00:35:34.19
Maranatha, and we're going
to be going out and showing kids
00:35:34.29\00:35:36.92
helping other kids
doing mission work for Jesus.
00:35:37.02\00:35:40.15
There's also
other mission projects.
00:35:40.35\00:35:42.21
Science projects.
I've asked Ben Roy.
00:35:42.41\00:35:44.90
He'll still do our
science projects for Kids' Time
00:35:45.00\00:35:47.47
but he'll have his
own half-hour show.
00:35:47.67\00:35:49.47
And there's other
people that have contacted me
00:35:49.67\00:35:51.26
where we'll do
some science shows.
00:35:51.36\00:35:53.63
Some of the other ones
is health and nutrition.
00:35:54.03\00:35:57.21
Very important for kids.
Obesity is a really huge problem
00:35:57.51\00:36:02.51
not just in the United
States but in some of the other
00:36:02.71\00:36:04.82
countries around the world too.
00:36:04.92\00:36:06.32
We need to get
our kids healthier.
00:36:06.42\00:36:09.39
And we have nature programs
that we'll be putting out.
00:36:09.59\00:36:13.50
All different kinds. Not
just the ones for Kids' Time
00:36:13.60\00:36:15.69
but lots of nature programs.
00:36:15.90\00:36:17.40
And then you'll also
have cooking programs.
00:36:17.70\00:36:20.01
Here's my sisters on Tiny Tots
00:36:20.21\00:36:21.68
but we'll have lots
of cooking programs.
00:36:21.78\00:36:23.78
I have a little girl already
ready to start a cooking show
00:36:24.18\00:36:27.19
over in
Australia. She's amazing.
00:36:27.39\00:36:29.49
Her name is Ellie, and
I tell you what: she is
00:36:29.69\00:36:31.83
Miss Personality
and a wonderful cook.
00:36:32.04\00:36:34.26
And you're going to love her.
00:36:34.46\00:36:36.13
So God is really
guiding and directing.
00:36:36.33\00:36:39.72
Exercise programs...
we can get our kids moving
00:36:39.92\00:36:42.31
in exercise... away from
their little computer games
00:36:42.51\00:36:45.91
and their video games and
out there really exercising.
00:36:46.11\00:36:49.06
And also we want to
have family worship.
00:36:49.36\00:36:52.00
There's so many
families that don't have a clue
00:36:52.20\00:36:54.48
about family
worship or what that is.
00:36:54.68\00:36:57.14
And we'd like to have a program
where they can have family
00:36:57.34\00:36:59.49
worship with us every day.
00:36:59.59\00:37:00.90
Doesn't that
sound like a good idea?
00:37:01.00\00:37:02.82
How about Bible games?
00:37:03.12\00:37:04.45
You know, maybe a
Bible trivia game.
00:37:04.65\00:37:07.44
Different Bible games
where kids can start learning
00:37:07.64\00:37:09.51
their Bible facts.
00:37:09.61\00:37:10.72
Get them excited
about reading their Bible,
00:37:10.92\00:37:12.79
learning more about Jesus.
00:37:12.99\00:37:14.26
There are just
many many opportunities.
00:37:14.29\00:37:17.08
Right now on the screen
is a way for you to go online
00:37:17.18\00:37:19.65
on 3ABN's website to
donate to our Kids' Network.
00:37:19.85\00:37:22.74
And just www. 3ABN.org
00:37:23.04\00:37:25.48
There's a donate button
and you go down to where that
00:37:25.68\00:37:28.82
says Kids' Network and
you can donate to this...
00:37:29.02\00:37:31.44
to this network.
Honest and truly,
00:37:31.54\00:37:33.95
Pastor Jim, I believe
wholeheartedly that we're not
00:37:34.15\00:37:38.63
doing enough to
spiritually feed our children.
00:37:38.73\00:37:42.24
And this is an opportunity
to really help our kids
00:37:42.44\00:37:46.53
grow spiritually
around the world.
00:37:46.63\00:37:48.05
Every country I have
been to around the world
00:37:48.25\00:37:50.14
has been so
excited about this network.
00:37:50.34\00:37:52.34
But this is where
we need your help.
00:37:52.64\00:37:54.38
I kind of liked Danny's
illustration this morning.
00:37:54.58\00:37:57.75
There's no problem. That
we have all the money we need
00:37:57.95\00:38:00.14
but it's still in your pocket.
Yes. And that's a challenge.
00:38:00.34\00:38:03.01
And if you have money that
you've been saving up for a
00:38:03.25\00:38:07.66
rainy day, if you've got
money that God's impressing you
00:38:07.76\00:38:10.53
to give... I honestly don't
want money that you don't feel
00:38:10.63\00:38:14.07
impressed to give.
I really would ask you
00:38:14.17\00:38:16.21
that every one of us pray
about: "Lord, what would You
00:38:16.31\00:38:19.32
have me to do? " And
I also want to appeal to
00:38:19.42\00:38:22.33
especially right
now just for a second
00:38:22.53\00:38:24.70
to the people in
the Collegedale area.
00:38:24.90\00:38:26.86
If you have a piece of property
that is just sitting there,
00:38:27.17\00:38:30.49
you haven't done
anything with it for years,
00:38:30.69\00:38:32.32
don't even know what
you're going to do with it...
00:38:32.52\00:38:33.68
If God's impressing
you, would you contact me
00:38:33.98\00:38:36.76
as soon as possible.
We're looking for land
00:38:36.96\00:38:39.37
right now in the Collegedale
area. We want to be near
00:38:39.57\00:38:42.22
that area because then
we can utilize the kids
00:38:42.53\00:38:45.41
from the schools. We can use
the students from the college.
00:38:45.61\00:38:48.02
If it's very far away from
that then none of that would be
00:38:48.22\00:38:50.55
possible. So I'm really
asking any landowners out there
00:38:50.65\00:38:54.85
if God's impressing upon
your heart to help us out
00:38:55.05\00:38:58.28
that you would want a network
for God's kids around the world
00:38:58.48\00:39:01.31
would you contact me
or Pastor Gilley or Danny
00:39:01.51\00:39:05.18
and let us know
about it right away?
00:39:05.42\00:39:07.23
I believe God wants this
network sooner than later.
00:39:07.43\00:39:11.05
I'll give you my website too
or yours... your e-mail address.
00:39:11.25\00:39:15.52
Go to www. brendawalsh. com
00:39:15.62\00:39:16.85
all right. Or
jim. gilley@3abn. org
00:39:17.05\00:39:22.92
And let us know
and we will follow up.
00:39:23.22\00:39:27.11
We'll get in touch with you.
00:39:27.31\00:39:28.74
Some of our needs
are: we do need land...
00:39:29.04\00:39:31.51
we need land to start
building. That's right.
00:39:31.71\00:39:33.32
And it's going to take
quite a bit of money to get this
00:39:33.52\00:39:37.14
project underway. But
guess what? It's God's money.
00:39:37.24\00:39:39.90
That's right. And
it's God's network.
00:39:40.10\00:39:41.99
And He knows where it
is, what the timing is.
00:39:42.19\00:39:45.19
I'm trusting in
God's perfect plan.
00:39:45.39\00:39:47.03
He really has a
perfect plan for this network.
00:39:47.23\00:39:49.86
He really does. And you
know, Danny and I were talking
00:39:49.96\00:39:52.14
not long ago about
the beginning of 3ABN.
00:39:52.24\00:39:56.19
He had nothing.
00:39:56.49\00:39:57.98
He didn't even have any land.
00:39:58.18\00:39:59.71
He was given the first land
that we built the first uplink
00:40:00.01\00:40:05.30
over at the "home
place" as I call it.
00:40:05.50\00:40:09.34
And they started
with absolutely nothing.
00:40:09.55\00:40:12.90
We're going to in
a sense repeat that
00:40:13.10\00:40:15.94
because Danny didn't
envision all of this.
00:40:16.14\00:40:19.14
He didn't see all of this
when he first got started.
00:40:19.24\00:40:21.69
He started off a
little bit at a time.
00:40:21.99\00:40:25.15
We don't want to
curse the darkness...
00:40:25.45\00:40:27.47
we want to light a
candle and get it moving
00:40:27.67\00:40:30.86
and then we are going
to see this network grow
00:40:30.99\00:40:33.91
and really be a
powerful agent for God.
00:40:34.11\00:40:38.28
We already... I know
that Moses this week was
00:40:38.48\00:40:40.95
visiting one of
the major cable outlets
00:40:41.15\00:40:43.56
and they are looking
for good programming.
00:40:43.76\00:40:47.30
And they are looking for good
children's programming as well.
00:40:47.50\00:40:51.04
And I feel that we're going
to have a great opportunity
00:40:51.24\00:40:54.31
to get a kids' network on
00:40:54.51\00:40:58.59
some of the great cable outlets
00:40:58.79\00:41:03.64
here in this
country. I believe that too.
00:41:03.84\00:41:06.07
And in fact there's, even
while we're waiting, even though
00:41:06.27\00:41:09.14
we don't have studios
right now to start producing
00:41:09.24\00:41:11.69
all the new programs
we're continuing taping our
00:41:11.72\00:41:15.10
Kids' Time and Tiny Tot
programs. Kids' Time will be
00:41:15.20\00:41:17.56
the flagship program on the
network just like the 3ABN Today
00:41:17.66\00:41:21.75
program is. Kids' Time
will be on 4 times a day
00:41:21.85\00:41:26.50
just like that so we'll be
still taping lots of Kids' Time
00:41:26.60\00:41:29.91
programs, but we need studios
that we can tape all the other
00:41:30.01\00:41:32.68
programs so that we can just
flood the network with quality
00:41:32.78\00:41:37.82
quality programs. In fact, even
before our studios are ready
00:41:37.92\00:41:41.70
I'm out looking for
other production companies
00:41:41.90\00:41:44.36
that can produce programs
right now so that we can already
00:41:44.56\00:41:47.10
get ahead of the game.
And I've already got about 12
00:41:47.30\00:41:49.57
people interested in
producing programs. In fact,
00:41:49.77\00:41:52.29
this week I had a
meeting with Dr. James Marcum.
00:41:52.49\00:41:55.52
And I would love for him
to do a program for health
00:41:55.72\00:41:59.82
for parents and children.
00:42:00.02\00:42:01.64
He has agreed to it. He
said if I can find a sponsor
00:42:01.84\00:42:04.65
he'll start taping right away.
00:42:04.85\00:42:06.45
So I want to hear from you
because if we can have a sponsor
00:42:06.66\00:42:09.48
that's something
we can do right now
00:42:09.58\00:42:10.92
and they could start
producing those programs.
00:42:11.02\00:42:12.79
I think it's a tremendous...
And he's not asking
00:42:13.09\00:42:15.81
to get paid for it. That's just
to cover the cost of producing
00:42:15.91\00:42:19.57
it. And so I think that
would be a tremendous blessing.
00:42:19.67\00:42:22.54
Another idea that I had was
to have some programs on there
00:42:22.84\00:42:26.81
to teach music lessons.
It actually wasn't even my
00:42:27.01\00:42:30.66
original idea. Our
director, Brad Walker,
00:42:30.80\00:42:32.80
had mentioned that to
me and I prayed about it.
00:42:32.90\00:42:34.66
I said: "Wow, Lord,
that's an awesome idea! "
00:42:34.76\00:42:36.43
We could have piano
lessons every Monday night.
00:42:36.53\00:42:38.95
All the music being
taught is music about Jesus.
00:42:39.15\00:42:42.96
And there's so many kids that
don't have the money for music
00:42:43.16\00:42:46.23
lessons. They'd never
be able to learn the piano.
00:42:46.33\00:42:48.15
They'd never be able to
learn how to play the violin
00:42:48.36\00:42:50.31
or the guitar, you know.
And this way, they could have
00:42:50.51\00:42:53.50
their music lessons, and all
the music would be about Jesus.
00:42:53.70\00:42:56.37
Wouldn't that be wonderful?
00:42:56.57\00:42:57.70
And so there's so
many other opportunities
00:42:58.00\00:43:00.39
to share Jesus in so many ways.
00:43:00.79\00:43:03.09
There's so many
program ideas out there.
00:43:03.50\00:43:06.71
I've got a producer already in
mind for a Bible trivia program
00:43:06.91\00:43:10.64
over in Australia.
And she is so dedicated.
00:43:10.84\00:43:13.68
She and her sister...
Marleta and Charissa Fong.
00:43:13.88\00:43:17.61
I would like them
to produce a program...
00:43:17.75\00:43:20.49
Bible trivia program. And
they've already got a nice
00:43:20.69\00:43:24.03
outline. In fact, I've
got it all ready for your desk
00:43:24.13\00:43:26.16
on Monday morning - all
right - and my proposal.
00:43:26.36\00:43:29.95
'Cause I really would
like to see these programs
00:43:30.18\00:43:32.52
get on the air
sooner than later.
00:43:32.72\00:43:35.08
So I'm going to do
what I can to keep busy.
00:43:35.28\00:43:39.32
I know Pastor Gilley was sharing
with you how to keep the costs
00:43:39.72\00:43:42.55
down, and I want to
address this because I started
00:43:42.58\00:43:45.29
receiving several letters
from people kind of mad at 3ABN.
00:43:45.40\00:43:49.27
And they were mad because
they said that they didn't think
00:43:49.67\00:43:53.16
it was right the way
you were treating me.
00:43:53.26\00:43:55.25
I said: "What do you mean? "
00:43:55.46\00:43:56.51
And they said well they didn't
think it was right that I was
00:43:56.71\00:43:58.90
a volunteer all these years
and that if I was going to be
00:43:59.00\00:44:01.99
general manager they sure
hoped they were finally going to
00:44:02.09\00:44:04.38
pay me. So I wanted to
set the record straight
00:44:04.48\00:44:06.55
that I did get
offered a salary by the way
00:44:06.85\00:44:09.35
and I have turned it
down. Wow! And the reason is
00:44:09.65\00:44:13.20
is because I believe it's
what God has called me to do.
00:44:13.34\00:44:16.77
I have volunteered all this
time, and before you get mad
00:44:16.97\00:44:19.71
at 3ABN, they have offered
to pay me all these years.
00:44:19.82\00:44:22.82
They have... It's not them.
00:44:23.02\00:44:24.92
So you don't get mad at
3ABN. You can get mad at me
00:44:25.12\00:44:27.75
if you want, but it's something
that God has impressed me to do.
00:44:27.85\00:44:31.09
One thing that I can tell
you has really meant a lot
00:44:31.29\00:44:34.53
is that when I'm asking
all these kids to come here
00:44:34.73\00:44:38.09
and volunteer their time,
parents to volunteer their time,
00:44:38.29\00:44:41.12
take time off work,
pay for the way to come,
00:44:41.32\00:44:43.16
I know a lot of people that want
to get paid to do such a thing.
00:44:43.56\00:44:47.38
The minute that I tell them
that I'm a full-time volunteer
00:44:47.78\00:44:51.14
that kind of like... they'll
like: "Oh, well I guess if you
00:44:51.54\00:44:55.12
can volunteer 13
years I can do one day. "
00:44:55.22\00:44:57.69
And so you know that
makes a big difference.
00:44:57.99\00:45:01.97
I'm not asking them to do
anything I'm not willing to do
00:45:02.18\00:45:05.24
myself. And that's not
God's calling for everyone.
00:45:05.34\00:45:07.47
God wants us to be working.
He knows you need to pay your
00:45:07.67\00:45:10.55
bills. I'm not
criticizing anything like that.
00:45:10.65\00:45:12.91
I'm just doing what I
know God has asked me to do.
00:45:13.11\00:45:16.30
And that's something
He's really impressed upon me
00:45:16.60\00:45:20.48
to keep doing. So
my title might change
00:45:20.58\00:45:23.09
as general manager but my
salary will remain the same.
00:45:23.39\00:45:25.87
Well we do appreciate that,
00:45:28.02\00:45:29.47
and I don't mind
getting those letters
00:45:29.57\00:45:31.41
because sometimes we're able
to write out an explanation.
00:45:31.61\00:45:34.74
And it's good to know
what people are feeling
00:45:35.04\00:45:40.36
and for them to
respond and let us know.
00:45:40.56\00:45:43.25
If you don't tell
us we can't correct it
00:45:43.45\00:45:46.63
or we can't answer the reason
why sometimes that we're doing
00:45:46.83\00:45:51.20
some of the things we
do. So one of the things...
00:45:51.40\00:45:54.27
I'm so happy that Jill Morikone
is helping me, working with me
00:45:54.47\00:45:57.60
now, is that we
answer those letters.
00:45:57.70\00:46:00.37
And right now I've
still got a real stack
00:46:00.57\00:46:04.09
I've never even shown Jill
00:46:04.29\00:46:06.18
from the past that I
haven't answered yet.
00:46:07.69\00:46:10.65
You know, I know what you mean
because God gave me an assistant
00:46:10.85\00:46:14.59
several years ago. Her
name is Melissa Hoffman.
00:46:14.79\00:46:16.67
I don't know what
I'd do without her.
00:46:16.70\00:46:18.04
She helps me answer a ton of
mail. That makes a difference
00:46:18.34\00:46:20.71
to people when
you answer the mail.
00:46:20.81\00:46:22.27
And when you get
almost 10,000 letters a month
00:46:22.47\00:46:24.82
let's be honest... I
wouldn't get anything else done
00:46:25.02\00:46:27.31
if I was answering all the mail.
00:46:27.51\00:46:28.83
And I really
depend on that help.
00:46:29.03\00:46:30.85
There's a few times she'll
say "You need to see this"
00:46:31.05\00:46:33.34
and I do, but it really
makes a huge difference.
00:46:33.54\00:46:37.38
And I want to share with
you as viewers that your giving
00:46:37.58\00:46:41.48
in support of 3ABN
and children's ministries
00:46:41.69\00:46:45.78
all these years is so appre-
ciated and it is not in vain.
00:46:45.98\00:46:49.08
There is not a day that goes by
that I don't get at least one,
00:46:49.32\00:46:52.91
usually many
letters, from kids telling me
00:46:53.11\00:46:55.81
that they're giving their heart
to Jesus because of Kids' Time.
00:46:56.01\00:46:58.53
And I hear that all the time.
00:46:58.83\00:47:00.77
That they're getting
baptized because of Kids' Time.
00:47:01.17\00:47:03.65
And not just our
little kids... big kids too!
00:47:03.86\00:47:05.93
I have so many adults that tell
me they take our Bible lessons
00:47:06.13\00:47:09.65
because they don't know
anything about the Bible. Right.
00:47:09.95\00:47:11.83
And they want to learn
what they should have learned
00:47:12.03\00:47:14.45
when they were little
before they take the older
00:47:14.56\00:47:16.41
Bible lessons. And so that
makes such a big difference.
00:47:16.51\00:47:19.23
You know, I want to tell
you my mom is our Kids' Club
00:47:19.53\00:47:23.54
director. About 10 years
ago God impressed me to start
00:47:23.64\00:47:26.78
a Bible study club for kids.
00:47:26.98\00:47:28.45
And I didn't
have anyone to run it.
00:47:28.75\00:47:30.39
I knew God impressed me that
that's what we should be doing.
00:47:30.60\00:47:33.68
And so I got everything
all ready and I just...
00:47:33.98\00:47:37.16
I called everybody and I said:
"Please, would you volunteer
00:47:37.36\00:47:40.26
some time to do this? "
And you know, it's a big
00:47:40.46\00:47:43.13
commitment. And finally
I called my mom and I said:
00:47:43.23\00:47:46.13
"Mom... " I said... "can
you just help me out for...
00:47:46.24\00:47:48.80
Would you just help me out
on Kids' Club? I can't manage
00:47:49.00\00:47:52.14
all this. I'm in the middle
of taping but I know God wants
00:47:52.24\00:47:54.48
this Kids' Club lessons
so we can offer Bible studies
00:47:54.58\00:47:57.57
for kids. " And so mom
says: "Well about how long
00:47:57.77\00:48:00.26
do you think that'd be? "
And I said: "Well, at least
00:48:00.36\00:48:03.58
maybe a couple of weeks. "
00:48:03.78\00:48:05.25
And that was 10 years ago
- yeah - and she's still our
00:48:06.20\00:48:09.73
Kids' Club director.
And she has I mean literally
00:48:09.83\00:48:13.02
every single day but
Sabbath she is answering mail
00:48:13.22\00:48:15.77
all day long. Mail
bags coming into our house.
00:48:15.98\00:48:18.29
I mean, can you imagine?
We have today over 25,000
00:48:18.49\00:48:22.55
kids enrolled in
Bible studies right now
00:48:22.75\00:48:24.89
from over 100 different
countries around the world.
00:48:25.29\00:48:27.90
Wow! Amen? Amen. And
we get the most amazing
00:48:28.10\00:48:31.30
letters. Yes, go
ahead and praise the Lord.
00:48:31.51\00:48:33.52
Amen.
00:48:33.72\00:48:35.13
It really is amazing.
00:48:35.23\00:48:36.69
And I love to hear
those life-changing stories.
00:48:36.89\00:48:40.58
I was just recently in Tasmania
00:48:40.78\00:48:42.95
and I was really excited when
a little girl... I was signing
00:48:43.25\00:48:47.38
books. I was speaking
over there and at the end I was
00:48:47.48\00:48:50.06
signing books in their lobby.
And this little girl came up
00:48:50.26\00:48:53.56
to me and she said: "Miss
Brenda I just love Kids' Time. "
00:48:53.66\00:48:56.85
She said: "I've
learned so much about Jesus
00:48:57.05\00:48:59.39
through Kids' Time. "
And she proceeded to tell me
00:48:59.49\00:49:02.34
how she had witnessed
to her mom and her grandma.
00:49:02.54\00:49:05.82
And before she had said that
00:49:06.06\00:49:08.47
she made mention about how
her grandma had passed away
00:49:08.67\00:49:11.86
one week before. And
I got up and I gave her
00:49:11.96\00:49:14.07
a hug and I said: "Oh
honey, I'm so sorry. "
00:49:14.18\00:49:16.00
She goes: "Oh Miss
Brenda, don't be sorry. "
00:49:16.20\00:49:18.51
She said: "She
died knowing Jesus. "
00:49:18.91\00:49:21.38
Amen. And then I
learned the whole story.
00:49:21.58\00:49:24.24
She had witnessed
not only to her mother
00:49:24.44\00:49:26.23
but to her grandmother
and all three of them
00:49:26.53\00:49:29.63
were baptized together.
Oh amen! Isn't that amazing?
00:49:29.83\00:49:32.93
Amen. Guess
what else is amazing?
00:49:33.13\00:49:34.74
This is how God works
and this is how I know
00:49:34.84\00:49:36.86
God is in charge of
every single aspect.
00:49:36.96\00:49:39.36
I said: "You need
to be on Kids' Time.
00:49:39.76\00:49:43.51
I'm taping Sharing
Time in December. " I said:
00:49:43.71\00:49:46.18
"Is there any way that you
could come and tell your story
00:49:46.38\00:49:49.10
and be on
Sharing Time with me? "
00:49:49.30\00:49:51.05
Wouldn't you like to see
her and meet her in person?
00:49:51.25\00:49:53.17
And so they said: "Oh, I
would love to Miss Brenda. "
00:49:53.47\00:49:56.50
And she whispered to me:
"But I don't have any money. "
00:49:56.90\00:50:00.12
And I said: "Well that's OK! "
00:50:00.53\00:50:02.73
And as shy as I am, Pastor
Gilley... You know how shy I am,
00:50:02.93\00:50:05.91
I got up and I stood on the
chair that I'd been sitting on
00:50:06.11\00:50:09.43
and I said: "Excuse me
everybody. Could I have your
00:50:09.73\00:50:11.96
attention please? " And
everyone got really quiet.
00:50:12.06\00:50:15.48
And I said: "I have a
little girl here right now"
00:50:15.78\00:50:18.86
and I told the story. I
said: 'How many here think
00:50:19.06\00:50:21.41
she needs to be on
Sharing Time? " And they all
00:50:21.51\00:50:23.88
raised their hands. And I said:
"Well we need to get together
00:50:24.09\00:50:27.20
so that we can provide
airfare for her and her mama
00:50:27.40\00:50:30.11
to come. " And two men
stepped forward and said:
00:50:30.22\00:50:32.70
"We'll take care
of it right now. "
00:50:32.90\00:50:34.32
Amen? Praise the Lord!
00:50:34.62\00:50:36.39
Before my plane landed down...
I was flying back into Melbourne
00:50:38.78\00:50:43.51
to speak for that
weekend... Before I even landed
00:50:43.71\00:50:46.38
the e-mail had come through
because when I got to Melbourne
00:50:46.68\00:50:49.49
airport and turned my
phone on there was the message
00:50:49.69\00:50:52.32
and they had forwarded
the ticket information.
00:50:52.35\00:50:54.30
They had already
purchased the tickets. Amen.
00:50:54.50\00:50:56.46
You know, the amazing thing
is that Kids' Time reaches kids
00:50:56.76\00:50:59.98
of all ages. And we
sometimes as you mentioned
00:51:00.08\00:51:04.84
things may be a little
bit high. H.M.S. Richards
00:51:05.04\00:51:07.90
used to say that he made
his sermons for 8-year-olds
00:51:08.10\00:51:11.74
because, he said: "The
Lord said 'Feed My sheep'
00:51:11.94\00:51:14.47
He didn't say
'Feed My giraffes. ' "
00:51:14.77\00:51:17.08
And so... There's so
many stories like that
00:51:17.28\00:51:22.27
where I know that God has a
purpose to save His children.
00:51:22.47\00:51:26.72
That's right. I shared
this story with you not long ago
00:51:26.82\00:51:29.99
when I was speaking in Trinidad
and I was greeting all the kids
00:51:30.19\00:51:34.94
after the program and
there was a long line.
00:51:35.04\00:51:37.20
They were only letting about
30 kids on the stage at a time
00:51:37.40\00:51:40.43
and I could meet them,
hug them, take their picture,
00:51:40.64\00:51:42.71
and then they'd go out this way
and the next one, the next one.
00:51:42.81\00:51:45.57
And then about over here half
way I looked up to see how long
00:51:45.87\00:51:49.44
the line was getting, if it
was getting any shorter at all.
00:51:49.54\00:51:51.99
And I see this one
young man... he's a teenager.
00:51:52.19\00:51:54.49
And he's just fidgeting and he's
got his hand in and out of his
00:51:54.79\00:51:57.27
pocket and he's just stepping
out of line every now and then
00:51:57.37\00:51:59.90
and he's straightening up his
shirt and acting all nervous.
00:52:00.10\00:52:03.64
It was hot
anyway... it was really hot
00:52:03.84\00:52:05.43
and he kept wiping his brow.
00:52:05.63\00:52:06.91
And he got closer and closer
and I started praying for him.
00:52:07.21\00:52:09.28
I said: "There is something that
this boy wants to tell me. "
00:52:09.38\00:52:12.52
And when he
finally got up close to me
00:52:12.72\00:52:14.93
he just gave me a great big
hug and he said: "Thank you,
00:52:15.13\00:52:17.52
Miss Brenda, for Kids'
Time. " And he started to leave
00:52:17.62\00:52:19.33
and I said:
"NO! Wait a minute. "
00:52:19.53\00:52:21.84
I said: "You have
something to tell me.
00:52:22.14\00:52:24.52
What is it? " He goes:
"Well everyone's waiting...
00:52:24.72\00:52:27.55
it's very busy.
" And I said: "No,
00:52:27.75\00:52:29.03
this is your time. Tell me
what you wanted to tell me. "
00:52:29.23\00:52:32.29
And he looked at me and with
tears coming down his cheeks
00:52:32.70\00:52:36.45
he said: "Miss Brenda, I wanted
to ask you to please never stop
00:52:36.65\00:52:40.16
taping Kids' Time.
Don't give up on kids. "
00:52:40.26\00:52:43.17
He said: "You see,
when I was a little boy
00:52:43.37\00:52:45.12
my mom and dad, " he said,
"they used to have Kids' Time on
00:52:45.43\00:52:48.86
all the time. " He
said: "I loved it. " He said:
00:52:48.96\00:52:51.18
"I couldn't wait for Kids' Time
to come on. I learned so much
00:52:51.28\00:52:54.35
about Jesus. " And he
said: "And when my mom and dad
00:52:54.45\00:52:57.94
passed away, " he said, "I
was just shuffled from one home
00:52:58.34\00:53:01.55
to another. " And he said:
"I never got to see Kids' Time
00:53:01.65\00:53:04.91
any more. Pretty soon I
forgot all about Jesus. "
00:53:05.01\00:53:07.21
He said: "I got mixed
up in a wrong crowd. "
00:53:07.41\00:53:09.21
He said: "I've done
things I shouldn't have done. "
00:53:09.41\00:53:10.82
He said: "I've
been in lots of trouble.
00:53:11.32\00:53:12.85
One day, " he said, "I
was sitting there in the home"
00:53:13.93\00:53:17.01
he said, "and I was clicking
through the TV waiting for some
00:53:17.04\00:53:21.02
of my buddies to show up
00:53:21.12\00:53:22.32
and all of a sudden
there was your face.
00:53:22.63\00:53:26.81
It was just you on the TV
00:53:27.01\00:53:29.06
and you looked right at me
and you said: 'I want you to
00:53:29.26\00:53:31.90
know Jesus loves
you and I do too. ' "
00:53:32.00\00:53:34.95
And he said: "Miss
Brenda, I remembered everything
00:53:36.01\00:53:38.33
like it was yesterday
of what you taught me.
00:53:38.53\00:53:40.94
You always told me
how much Jesus loved me
00:53:41.14\00:53:43.82
and how much you
loved me, " and he said:
00:53:44.02\00:53:45.39
"Miss Brenda, I want to
thank you for Kids' Time. "
00:53:45.69\00:53:47.91
He said: "You and Jesus are
the only ones that love me. "
00:53:48.11\00:53:50.91
And I gave him
the biggest old hug,
00:53:51.21\00:53:53.78
Pastor Gilley, and I let him
know and I whispered in his ear
00:53:53.98\00:53:57.16
"Jesus loves you and I do too. "
00:53:57.36\00:53:59.02
And he began to
bawl like a baby. Amen.
00:53:59.12\00:54:01.08
Let me tell you: these
programs are reaching children.
00:54:01.38\00:54:04.95
'Cause you can just imagine
what Kids' Time and Tiny Tots
00:54:05.06\00:54:07.64
are doing. Can you imagine a
network with every single time
00:54:07.74\00:54:11.98
you turned it on there is
something just for children?
00:54:12.08\00:54:14.74
Amen? I believe God wants this
network on sooner than later.
00:54:14.94\00:54:19.56
Amen. And it's going to
take all of us pulling together.
00:54:19.76\00:54:22.22
Sacrificing. Like
Pastor Asscherick was telling
00:54:22.42\00:54:26.09
not just giving a regular
offering but sacrificial giving
00:54:26.29\00:54:30.07
that we can really
dig deep into our pockets
00:54:30.47\00:54:35.05
and say: "We want to support
God's kids around the world. "
00:54:35.25\00:54:38.10
Amen. Well let me tell
you: you have the opportunity
00:54:38.80\00:54:42.79
to do just that. Pray about it
00:54:42.99\00:54:45.60
and pray that the Lord
will involve you in some way
00:54:45.70\00:54:49.93
very
significantly for this project
00:54:50.13\00:54:52.73
because I believe
that Christ is coming soon.
00:54:53.13\00:54:55.72
And I think that He
said: "Suffer little children
00:54:55.92\00:54:58.76
to come unto Me
and forbid them not
00:54:58.96\00:55:01.55
for of such is the
kingdom of heaven. "
00:55:01.85\00:55:06.26
Those were words of Jesus
00:55:06.46\00:55:08.63
and they should
still be our words today.
00:55:08.84\00:55:11.78
That's right. I'll tell
you: Jesus never pushed those
00:55:12.08\00:55:14.08
children away. In fact you know
if you read the texts in the
00:55:14.19\00:55:17.60
Bible about how
important it is that we don't
00:55:17.70\00:55:20.55
and what our
punishment will be if we do...
00:55:20.75\00:55:23.51
I mean, God's
children are important to Him
00:55:23.71\00:55:26.45
and they need to
be important to us.
00:55:26.66\00:55:27.98
And I can promise you
this as general manager of this
00:55:28.28\00:55:31.06
network: I will work hard; I
will pray about every decision.
00:55:31.17\00:55:35.00
I mean that, and we
will keep the quality high.
00:55:35.20\00:55:37.96
We know that we want to provide
good quality Christ-centered
00:55:38.16\00:55:42.46
programs on this network.
00:55:42.56\00:55:44.18
And I want to hear
from you. Go to my website
00:55:44.38\00:55:47.73
www. brendawalsh. com.
I know some people tell me
00:55:47.93\00:55:49.85
I'm crazy for putting my
contact information out there.
00:55:49.95\00:55:52.48
But I say: "How
can I witness for Jesus
00:55:52.69\00:55:54.73
if I put a wall around me
and you can't get to me? "
00:55:54.93\00:55:57.01
So I put it out there.
You can go to my website
00:55:57.21\00:56:00.30
www. brendawalsh.
com and click on contact.
00:56:00.50\00:56:03.20
You'll get my phone number
there, my e-mail is there.
00:56:03.40\00:56:05.99
Let me hear from you.
I'd like to hear your ideas.
00:56:06.19\00:56:08.48
If you have creative ways
that you know that you could
00:56:08.78\00:56:11.82
support this
network, let me hear from you.
00:56:11.92\00:56:14.56
I know beyond
the shadow of a doubt
00:56:14.86\00:56:17.09
that this is God's will.
00:56:17.29\00:56:18.41
God has already
begun answering prayers.
00:56:18.61\00:56:20.68
I've already seen so
many incredible miracles
00:56:20.71\00:56:25.53
really of how God is working
to bring all of this together.
00:56:25.73\00:56:28.37
And just the miracle of
how God answered our prayer
00:56:28.57\00:56:31.66
about having it
be in Collegedale!
00:56:31.86\00:56:33.28
I mean, that was God
impressing upon their hearts
00:56:33.48\00:56:35.58
and I never even
had to say a thing.
00:56:35.78\00:56:37.57
That was, to me,
just such an affirmation
00:56:37.77\00:56:40.43
from God that this is His net-
work and He's got a plan for it.
00:56:40.63\00:56:44.06
I want to thank our
3ABN leadership team
00:56:44.26\00:56:47.82
for really valuing
children's ministries.
00:56:48.02\00:56:50.68
For doing it... because
it'd be a lot cheaper for you
00:56:50.88\00:56:52.86
if you just took us off the air.
00:56:53.07\00:56:54.87
Yeah, but we want to thank
you and your sisters for leading
00:56:55.17\00:56:58.39
these children's ministries and
reaching so many young people.
00:56:58.59\00:57:02.72
Thank you, Brenda.
Well let me share with you:
00:57:02.92\00:57:04.46
let's all say it together:
Remember boys and girls
00:57:04.66\00:57:08.04
it's Kids' Time to share Jesus.
00:57:08.24\00:57:12.72
