All right.
00:00:31.34\00:00:32.68
We were just watching the
fish jump here on the monitor.
00:00:32.98\00:00:36.13
And I don't know if
you've watched that at home, but
00:00:36.28\00:00:38.06
that's real, right?
He wasn't expecting...
00:00:38.26\00:00:40.74
Of course, Tom
Mann put this together
00:00:40.94\00:00:42.76
and he wasn't expecting the
fish to jump, but when he...
00:00:42.96\00:00:45.94
when the fish jumped it was
just too good... he left it in.
00:00:46.14\00:00:49.23
Wow! Well listen, we're
going to give you some updates
00:00:49.43\00:00:52.20
on 3ABN, some of the
things that are happening
00:00:52.31\00:00:55.04
in radio, television, Latino,
00:00:55.34\00:00:57.97
overseas. We heard
this morning from Russia.
00:00:58.17\00:01:02.06
This afternoon we're
going to hear from Australia.
00:01:02.36\00:01:04.60
Oh yes! And so we are
just really looking forward
00:01:04.70\00:01:08.41
to all these reports.
We're going to begin with what?
00:01:08.61\00:01:11.28
With Dare to Dream...
with our own Yvonne Lewis.
00:01:11.49\00:01:14.86
And she has been such a
blessing to this ministry.
00:01:15.16\00:01:18.76
Do you know what she has
accomplished since she has
00:01:18.96\00:01:21.40
been here which is a little over
a year - about a year and a half
00:01:21.50\00:01:25.86
now - is absolutely a miracle.
00:01:25.96\00:01:28.25
There was no way that she could
get done what she got done...
00:01:28.45\00:01:31.24
but you know what? She did!
00:01:31.54\00:01:33.08
And that's because God is
with her every step of the way
00:01:33.29\00:01:36.55
just like He's been with
this ministry from the very
00:01:36.85\00:01:39.28
beginning. That's right.
You know, we had somebody else
00:01:39.38\00:01:41.82
that was talking over the
years - five years or more -
00:01:42.02\00:01:45.88
about getting this network going
reaching out into the urban
00:01:46.08\00:01:51.98
areas of our country.
That person had talked about it
00:01:52.09\00:01:55.69
for five years. And
Yvonne, by the grace of God,
00:01:55.79\00:01:59.03
came and immediately started
and we praise the Lord for that.
00:01:59.23\00:02:02.45
And something we have
appreciated because to get this
00:02:02.75\00:02:05.65
accomplished she had to
have some drive behind her.
00:02:05.76\00:02:09.27
But she's done it with
so much grace and dignity.
00:02:09.57\00:02:12.43
She hasn't offended
anybody. As a matter of fact,
00:02:12.63\00:02:15.35
what she has done here at
3ABN is she has endeared herself
00:02:15.45\00:02:19.89
to all of our hearts. And so we
appreciate you and we love you.
00:02:19.99\00:02:23.33
Not only are you going
to share about Dare to Dream
00:02:23.53\00:02:25.96
but also afterward you're
going to sing a beautiful song.
00:02:26.06\00:02:29.09
And so we
always... It's I Am Amazed.
00:02:29.39\00:02:32.32
So Yvonne, we love
you and we appreciate you.
00:02:32.62\00:02:34.72
We look forward to hearing
about all the great things
00:02:34.82\00:02:37.24
that are
happening in Dare to Dream
00:02:37.34\00:02:39.56
and we also look forward
to you ministering to us.
00:02:39.66\00:02:42.06
Praise the Lord!
00:02:42.36\00:02:44.08
Good evening.
00:02:45.64\00:02:47.39
Oh no! You guys ate too much.
00:02:48.22\00:02:50.62
Good evening.
00:02:50.72\00:02:52.64
How many of you have
watched Dare to Dream?
00:02:53.43\00:02:56.67
OK... praise the
Lord! That's good.
00:02:57.52\00:03:00.77
Sometimes I go to
churches and I say:
00:03:01.07\00:03:02.94
"How many of you have
heard of Dare to Dream? "
00:03:03.04\00:03:04.82
And they look at me like a
deer in headlights. And I'm like
00:03:04.92\00:03:07.51
"Surely you know about
Dare to Dream" - because
00:03:08.01\00:03:10.43
God has done such
amazing things. I cannot even
00:03:10.63\00:03:15.76
express how
thankful I am to our God
00:03:15.96\00:03:19.55
and how powerful He
is. Because there's no way
00:03:19.65\00:03:23.55
that what's happened at Dare
to Dream could have happened
00:03:23.75\00:03:26.60
without God. I feel like
I'm just sitting in the chair
00:03:26.80\00:03:30.07
but God is bringing the right
people and bringing the ideas
00:03:30.17\00:03:34.48
for concepts for
programs. For example,
00:03:34.68\00:03:36.98
this past year we
have by the grace of God
00:03:37.28\00:03:40.97
introduced 20 new programs
00:03:41.18\00:03:44.15
that haven't been
on the parent network
00:03:44.25\00:03:45.92
that are on Dare
to Dream. Twenty!
00:03:46.02\00:03:48.94
If you had any idea as to
what goes into production,
00:03:49.04\00:03:52.18
you would be amazed
by that number because
00:03:52.48\00:03:55.16
for a network to be new
and to have twenty new programs
00:03:55.46\00:03:59.68
is just... it's just
amazing. But God is awesome.
00:03:59.88\00:04:03.71
We have programs,
for example, on health.
00:04:03.81\00:04:06.62
We have a new one coming out
called Health Guard, and that's
00:04:06.72\00:04:09.97
going to be exciting. We're
going to tape that in November.
00:04:10.07\00:04:12.62
We have Taste of Paradise
which is our food preparation
00:04:13.53\00:04:17.54
program. The first part of
it is raw food; the second part
00:04:17.64\00:04:20.89
of it is cooked
with nutritional tips.
00:04:20.99\00:04:23.74
We have a program
on money management.
00:04:23.94\00:04:26.05
Because what we're trying to do
00:04:26.25\00:04:28.03
and what God has
laid on my heart to do
00:04:28.13\00:04:30.22
is to look at the challenges
that confront people in the
00:04:30.42\00:04:34.64
inner cities and then
design programming around it.
00:04:34.74\00:04:37.90
And that's what we've done.
00:04:38.11\00:04:39.69
One of the programs that
we're getting ready to produce
00:04:40.09\00:04:43.40
and I'm super excited about this
00:04:43.50\00:04:45.72
it's a program for fathers.
00:04:46.02\00:04:48.87
We know that
children in the inner city -
00:04:49.73\00:04:52.76
actually over 40% of
the children in America -
00:04:52.86\00:04:56.29
grow up in fatherless homes.
00:04:56.49\00:04:58.63
It is a critical piece.
00:04:58.94\00:05:00.63
One political scientist
said that virtually every social
00:05:00.83\00:05:06.73
pathology that
really plagues our society
00:05:06.83\00:05:11.10
can be traced to fatherlessness.
00:05:11.30\00:05:14.49
And so one of the
things we are looking to do
00:05:14.69\00:05:16.76
is to produce a
program called A Father's Heart
00:05:16.86\00:05:19.82
where we are going
to teach young men...
00:05:20.02\00:05:22.13
because a lot of young men are
just kind of all over the place
00:05:22.43\00:05:25.75
and not realizing
that they have to parent
00:05:25.85\00:05:28.83
the children
that they are siring.
00:05:29.03\00:05:31.26
And so one of the things that
we're going to do is have this
00:05:31.46\00:05:33.83
program entitled
A Father's Heart.
00:05:33.93\00:05:36.09
And in A Father's
Heart we're going to show
00:05:36.39\00:05:39.31
some young men and how
they're making decisions.
00:05:39.52\00:05:42.68
And we're going to have a
man of God who is a father
00:05:42.88\00:05:45.86
who's going to mentor
them. And this is going to be on
00:05:46.06\00:05:49.49
television so that our young
men that turn on the television
00:05:49.69\00:05:53.78
can look and see just
what a godly father is like.
00:05:53.96\00:05:58.37
What does a godly father do?
00:05:58.51\00:06:00.58
How does he treat his children?
00:06:00.78\00:06:02.40
How does he treat his wife?
00:06:02.60\00:06:04.08
If they are not married -
which indeed, a lot of the
00:06:04.28\00:06:06.85
young people in the inner
cities might not be married
00:06:06.96\00:06:10.93
and they're having
children - so what do you do?
00:06:11.13\00:06:13.99
How do you interact properly
00:06:14.09\00:06:15.72
with the mother
of your children?
00:06:15.82\00:06:17.47
These things are critical.
00:06:17.67\00:06:19.35
This is something
that no one else is doing
00:06:19.55\00:06:22.14
and this is something that God
has laid on our hearts to do.
00:06:22.34\00:06:25.99
It is
tremendous... it's tremendous.
00:06:26.19\00:06:28.84
Then we have The New Journey
00:06:29.04\00:06:30.42
which is a
program for ex-offenders
00:06:30.52\00:06:32.49
hosted by an ex-offender.
00:06:32.59\00:06:34.13
And I've got to tell you what
God has done with that as well.
00:06:34.33\00:06:37.38
We had... First we had
Aaron Chancy was the host.
00:06:37.78\00:06:41.72
I don't know if you
guys know Aaron Chancy,
00:06:41.82\00:06:44.04
but he is an ex-offender
and he is on fire for God
00:06:44.14\00:06:46.87
and he did a great job, but the
Lord called him into ministry.
00:06:46.97\00:06:50.46
And so he had to stop
hosting and go back to school
00:06:50.66\00:06:54.36
for ministry. So I'm thinking:
"Oh Lord, who are we going to
00:06:54.57\00:06:58.31
get to host this program? "
00:06:58.41\00:07:00.14
Because I know... there
are programs that you just know
00:07:00.24\00:07:03.72
the enemy does not want
to air because it can be
00:07:03.82\00:07:07.66
so impactful
against his kingdom.
00:07:07.77\00:07:10.21
So this particular
program I know that the enemy
00:07:10.41\00:07:14.45
does not want us to air
just like The Father's Heart.
00:07:14.55\00:07:17.29
We've been trying to get
this program off the ground
00:07:17.49\00:07:19.46
for quite some time now.
And we have these different
00:07:19.56\00:07:21.80
obstacles but praise the Lord
00:07:21.90\00:07:23.31
things are rolling and we should
be in production with that
00:07:23.51\00:07:27.18
within the next
maybe four or five weeks.
00:07:27.38\00:07:30.38
So we praise the Lord for that.
00:07:30.58\00:07:32.30
But with The New Journey
Aaron Chancy had to leave.
00:07:33.06\00:07:36.71
Pastor Marquis Johns was
available, and he has done
00:07:37.01\00:07:41.66
an outstanding job.
Well about a week or so ago
00:07:41.76\00:07:44.87
Pastor Johns informed me
that he's not going to be able
00:07:45.07\00:07:48.04
to continue to
host it consistently.
00:07:48.14\00:07:50.94
So now I'm thinking: "Oh
Lord, what am I going to do?
00:07:51.14\00:07:54.30
Who am I going to get
to host this program? "
00:07:54.50\00:07:56.50
But I know from the way
God has led us in the past
00:07:56.70\00:08:00.49
that He wasn't going to
let me down. Sure enough,
00:08:00.69\00:08:02.94
I just kind of took a chance
and asked Aaron would he be
00:08:03.14\00:08:05.99
willing to come back and
continue to host the program
00:08:06.09\00:08:10.34
along with Pastor Johns
so they'd kind of rotate.
00:08:10.54\00:08:13.80
And he said he
would. So once again
00:08:14.01\00:08:16.34
God provided a ram
in the thicket for us.
00:08:16.54\00:08:19.84
God is so faithful.
00:08:20.04\00:08:21.94
He has been so
faithful with Dare to Dream.
00:08:22.14\00:08:24.28
The programs that are on
now can really make a difference
00:08:24.48\00:08:29.55
in the lives of
those in the inner city.
00:08:29.75\00:08:32.00
I think of a Dr. Marco Clark.
00:08:32.40\00:08:35.72
I interviewed him recently.
00:08:36.12\00:08:38.66
Dr. Clark was at 11
years old told by a counselor
00:08:38.87\00:08:43.47
that he was a
functional illiterate.
00:08:43.77\00:08:46.37
And he had no
idea what that meant
00:08:46.67\00:08:49.42
but when he looked at his
mom's face he knew it wasn't
00:08:49.62\00:08:52.46
a good thing. Prior to that
Marco had been... he'd thought
00:08:52.56\00:08:57.14
he was just the cat's meow.
00:08:57.24\00:08:59.58
He was, you know, going to
school... but he knew he wasn't
00:08:59.78\00:09:02.39
doing that well in school.
00:09:02.49\00:09:04.18
And when his mother
and father talked to him
00:09:04.38\00:09:07.45
he felt he had let them down.
00:09:07.65\00:09:09.95
And so as he
developed Marco was...
00:09:09.98\00:09:13.97
he began to do things that
were living up to his label.
00:09:15.26\00:09:20.96
And that's one of the things
00:09:21.30\00:09:22.63
that happens to
our young people.
00:09:22.73\00:09:24.37
When they're labeled they begin
to think less of themselves
00:09:24.52\00:09:28.29
and they begin to go things that
they might not ordinarily do.
00:09:28.50\00:09:31.79
Marco did that. He
began... As he got older
00:09:32.10\00:09:34.61
he got into
socially- deviant behavior.
00:09:34.71\00:09:37.21
He began to rob and he began to
hang out with the wrong people.
00:09:37.41\00:09:41.83
And he began to smoke marijuana
00:09:42.03\00:09:44.13
and do all these
different things.
00:09:44.23\00:09:45.69
But Marco decided that
he wanted to go to college.
00:09:45.89\00:09:51.04
And he tried
hundreds of colleges literally
00:09:51.14\00:09:55.52
and was turned down by
all of them. But finally
00:09:55.66\00:09:59.04
someone accepted him.
00:09:59.25\00:10:01.52
And he went to the school
and he was told that he wasn't
00:10:01.72\00:10:06.25
slow... he had a
learning disability.
00:10:06.45\00:10:09.75
This was something
he never knew he had
00:10:09.95\00:10:12.08
and it changed his life totally.
00:10:12.18\00:10:14.22
And he went from being
a student with a 1.3 GPA
00:10:14.42\00:10:18.94
to a student with a 3.9 GPA.
00:10:19.07\00:10:23.55
This is what we
want for Dare to Dream.
00:10:23.85\00:10:26.47
This is how we long
to impact our communities
00:10:26.57\00:10:30.96
because these are our
children. We are a family.
00:10:31.16\00:10:34.47
We are the family of God.
00:10:34.67\00:10:36.22
It's not like: "OK, there's
a black situation over here
00:10:36.32\00:10:39.66
and a white
situation over here. "
00:10:39.86\00:10:41.99
No. We are the family of God
00:10:42.19\00:10:45.82
and God wants to
impact the inner city
00:10:45.92\00:10:49.71
and He's shining a
light into the inner city.
00:10:49.91\00:10:52.88
And I ask you... I
beg you to join with me.
00:10:53.08\00:10:57.39
To pray for Dare to
Dream, to support it.
00:10:57.53\00:11:00.28
I have to tell you this: I
have written a little booklet.
00:11:00.48\00:11:03.59
Several people have asked
me why did I leave acupuncture.
00:11:03.79\00:11:06.81
And so I wrote a little
booklet as a fund raiser
00:11:07.11\00:11:09.76
for Dare to Dream.
It's out in the lobby
00:11:09.87\00:11:12.27
and after sunset...
We're saying it's free with
00:11:12.37\00:11:16.44
a donation of $10 because
we're trying to raise money
00:11:16.54\00:11:19.74
for Dare to
Dream. We need staff...
00:11:19.94\00:11:22.72
praise the Lord;
we need a remote truck
00:11:22.92\00:11:25.92
so that we can go
into the inner cities
00:11:26.02\00:11:28.28
so that we can
televise and record and tape
00:11:28.49\00:11:33.14
these evangelical
series, campaigns that we have.
00:11:33.34\00:11:37.85
We want to really
develop more programming:
00:11:37.98\00:11:41.78
socially-impactful programming.
00:11:42.08\00:11:44.62
Because what we're
doing with Dare to Dream
00:11:44.92\00:11:47.13
is we're giving the
gospel and tools for living.
00:11:47.33\00:11:50.59
And again, no one
else is doing this.
00:11:50.79\00:11:54.11
No one else in the Christian
world is doing what God has
00:11:54.41\00:11:58.02
called us to do. So
please, join with us.
00:11:58.12\00:12:01.51
Check out the little booklet.
00:12:01.61\00:12:03.34
I know some of you know people
who want to get acupuncture
00:12:03.44\00:12:08.02
and they're wondering if
they should... or maybe you are.
00:12:08.22\00:12:10.95
Get the little booklet.
Read about my journey with that
00:12:11.15\00:12:14.10
and how God brought me
out of practicing that.
00:12:14.23\00:12:17.56
I also know and I
think you all know
00:12:17.86\00:12:20.74
that you can
text to Dare to Dream.
00:12:20.84\00:12:23.08
You can text 252000 and just
type in DREAM in the text box
00:12:23.18\00:12:29.14
and that's how you can
give $10 to Dare to Dream.
00:12:29.44\00:12:32.50
Whenever you think about it
just do that: text... use your
00:12:32.70\00:12:36.16
cell phone and
text to Dare to Dream.
00:12:36.26\00:12:38.72
I thank you so
much for your prayers
00:12:39.02\00:12:41.60
and your financial
support. May God bless you.
00:12:41.90\00:12:45.27
You know, when I think
about what God has done
00:12:45.47\00:12:50.66
in my life and
how He brought me out.
00:12:50.86\00:12:54.10
I was practicing
traditional Chinese medicine
00:12:54.30\00:12:57.61
and God brought me out of that.
00:12:59.05\00:13:02.00
And when I think
about how I let Him down
00:13:03.18\00:13:05.90
during the time that I
was so invested in all of that
00:13:06.10\00:13:11.44
it just... it makes my
heart... it breaks my heart
00:13:11.64\00:13:15.64
to know that there was a
time that I let Him down.
00:13:15.94\00:13:18.81
But you know what? I'm
thankful that God loves me
00:13:19.01\00:13:22.46
in spite of what I did.
00:13:22.56\00:13:24.29
God loves you in
spite of everything
00:13:24.69\00:13:29.03
and anything. He loves
you; He has a plan for you.
00:13:29.23\00:13:33.04
And know that one day the
Lord is going to come back
00:13:33.24\00:13:38.53
and take you with
Him. So I am amazed
00:13:38.73\00:13:41.17
that the Lord loved me enough
00:13:41.37\00:13:43.83
to save me from where I was.
00:13:44.03\00:13:47.63
I'm amazed
00:13:50.35\00:13:54.05
each time I think
00:13:54.36\00:13:58.77
that You would love me
00:13:59.07\00:14:05.01
and you made Yourself
00:14:06.89\00:14:11.16
a willing...
00:14:11.26\00:14:13.05
such a willing sacrifice.
00:14:14.44\00:14:18.19
Yes.
00:14:18.49\00:14:22.01
When all I've ever done
00:14:22.51\00:14:28.13
is cause You pain
00:14:28.53\00:14:32.18
and so much sorrow...
00:14:32.58\00:14:38.47
When I think of what You've done
00:14:38.87\00:14:44.43
well I'm amazed.
00:14:44.56\00:14:50.49
I'm amazed to know
00:14:54.99\00:14:58.35
that soon
00:14:58.55\00:15:02.69
my Jesus is coming back for me
00:15:02.90\00:15:08.83
with a robe of light
00:15:09.13\00:15:14.71
and a life that never ends...
00:15:15.01\00:15:20.93
oh no, it never ends.
00:15:21.13\00:15:26.73
'Cause all I've ever done
00:15:27.23\00:15:33.15
is go astray
00:15:33.55\00:15:36.57
when He said "follow. "
00:15:36.87\00:15:42.83
When I think of what's to come
00:15:43.24\00:15:49.07
yes, yes, yes
00:15:49.27\00:15:53.99
I'm amazed.
00:15:54.19\00:15:57.67
Now I wonder
00:15:58.42\00:16:00.72
what kind of love is this
00:16:01.13\00:16:06.34
'cause I just...
00:16:06.64\00:16:08.59
I just don't understand
00:16:08.79\00:16:13.29
why my Savior left
00:16:13.49\00:16:18.23
His glory
00:16:18.43\00:16:22.93
to die
00:16:23.13\00:16:25.67
for sinful man.
00:16:25.87\00:16:30.81
When all
00:16:31.01\00:16:33.73
I've ever done
00:16:33.93\00:16:38.08
is go astray
00:16:38.38\00:16:40.84
oh, when You said "follow. "
00:16:40.95\00:16:46.90
When I think of what You've done
00:16:47.82\00:16:53.23
well, I'm amazed...
00:16:53.53\00:16:59.47
When I think of what
00:17:03.62\00:17:06.98
You've done
00:17:07.08\00:17:09.87
yes, I'm amazed...
00:17:10.08\00:17:14.06
I'm so amazed...
00:17:14.26\00:17:19.97
'Cause when You...
00:17:20.27\00:17:21.45
How could You shower such love?
00:17:21.75\00:17:27.66
Well... I'm amazed!
00:17:38.75\00:17:43.53
I'm so amazed.
00:17:43.83\00:17:47.70
Oh, my, my my...
00:17:53.02\00:17:56.84
my, my my.
00:17:57.14\00:18:00.62
I'm so amazed.
00:18:01.22\00:18:07.13
God bless you; thank you. Amen!
00:18:07.53\00:18:11.80
Praise the Lord!
00:18:16.78\00:18:17.96
Amazing,
amazing, amazing. Am I on?
00:18:19.09\00:18:21.64
I'm not on. Nobody
even knows I'm out here.
00:18:22.14\00:18:24.69
Am I out here? I'm
out here. All right!
00:18:24.99\00:18:28.90
Well they saw me
snoozing back there I think.
00:18:29.99\00:18:33.69
And after lunch I'm
about like you are...
00:18:33.89\00:18:36.87
I'm just about as groggy.
00:18:36.97\00:18:38.35
You know, we're so
excited about 3ABN Radio...
00:18:38.65\00:18:41.56
the impact that it is having.
00:18:41.76\00:18:44.06
Amen; praise God! Brenda
this morning was telling us
00:18:44.36\00:18:46.93
about hearing C.A.
laugh on the radio.
00:18:47.03\00:18:50.45
And then she heard
him preach on the radio.
00:18:51.33\00:18:53.70
And then she called, but
she kept listening to the radio.
00:18:54.00\00:18:57.65
We have as many people
walk through the doors here
00:18:57.95\00:19:00.99
from radio as we
do from television.
00:19:01.09\00:19:03.31
Amen. I had one man tell me
that he was listening to the
00:19:03.61\00:19:07.71
radio while he was
doing deliveries in the area.
00:19:07.81\00:19:10.42
I ran into him at J.
C. Penney not long ago
00:19:10.82\00:19:13.55
and he said:
"Aren't you Pastor Gilley? "
00:19:13.85\00:19:16.39
And I said: "Yes. " He watches
television occasionally too.
00:19:16.49\00:19:19.30
He wouldn't have recognized
me from the radio I don't think.
00:19:19.51\00:19:22.49
But he said: "You
know, I'm still listening
00:19:22.69\00:19:27.95
and I'm now in
touch with a pastor. "
00:19:28.25\00:19:31.32
And we're expecting
that gentleman to be making
00:19:31.53\00:19:33.79
a decision very soon. Tell
us about radio, would you Jay?
00:19:33.83\00:19:37.77
I will. And welcome everyone
to the 3ABN Radio Camp Meeting.
00:19:37.97\00:19:42.22
We are so thrilled to
hear of the success stories
00:19:43.96\00:19:46.80
of people coming
in to the churches.
00:19:46.90\00:19:49.43
And that's one of the
things that we're all about.
00:19:49.73\00:19:51.72
We just really want to get the
Word of the Lord to the people.
00:19:52.02\00:19:56.44
A little while ago... About an
hour ago or so we had a meeting
00:19:57.15\00:20:00.47
here of the people
that are at Camp Meeting
00:20:00.57\00:20:02.57
that are interested in starting
low-power FM radio stations.
00:20:02.77\00:20:06.29
And I was - to be
honest - surprised at the size
00:20:06.49\00:20:09.99
of the crowd that was there.
00:20:10.19\00:20:12.59
I did not expect to
have so many people there.
00:20:12.89\00:20:15.67
The Lord is
working on our hearts.
00:20:15.97\00:20:19.61
The Lord is speaking to
the people that He wants
00:20:20.01\00:20:24.88
to start radio
stations for their community.
00:20:24.98\00:20:27.64
And I have to tell
you: it is a journey.
00:20:27.95\00:20:30.52
It's a pleasant journey. It
can be a frustrating journey
00:20:30.72\00:20:33.22
sometimes, but it
is very well worth it.
00:20:33.33\00:20:37.98
And if God is working on
your heart, the FCC is having
00:20:38.18\00:20:41.93
another window - an application
window for low-power FMs.
00:20:42.13\00:20:46.24
At this point we
believe it to be in October.
00:20:46.44\00:20:49.82
They haven't given an
exact date yet, but they are
00:20:50.02\00:20:52.08
anticipating October.
00:20:52.19\00:20:53.88
So contact us at 3ABN Radio.
00:20:54.08\00:20:56.49
Go to extension
3500... talk to Nikki Anderson.
00:20:56.69\00:21:00.09
She can give you some of the
information, send you a little
00:21:00.19\00:21:02.07
packet and so forth to help you.
00:21:02.17\00:21:04.51
But we have so many stories...
we hear from so many people
00:21:04.81\00:21:09.03
about the impact that
their local radio station,
00:21:09.33\00:21:13.68
their LPFM - or their
cell phone. I was talking
00:21:13.88\00:21:16.53
with a lady a little while
ago. She listens to 3ABN Radio
00:21:16.73\00:21:20.07
on her cell phone. And people
listen to us on the TV set.
00:21:20.18\00:21:26.04
They set the TV set to
us and work around the house
00:21:26.14\00:21:28.29
or whatever. But if they
have the satellite reception
00:21:28.39\00:21:31.91
then they can pick up
3ABN Radio, so they do that.
00:21:32.11\00:21:34.90
And our programming is
different than 3ABN television
00:21:35.20\00:21:38.02
so it's not just like you're
sitting there listening to 3ABN
00:21:38.22\00:21:41.54
television. And it's just
very rewarding for all of us.
00:21:41.64\00:21:46.00
Mike Babb, Nikki Anderson,
Angela Lomacang, and I were
00:21:46.30\00:21:50.73
sitting around just last week
talking about what a privilege
00:21:50.93\00:21:54.25
it is to be here.
00:21:54.36\00:21:55.97
None of us can believe that God
has us here at this ministry.
00:21:56.17\00:22:01.38
God has millions of people...
00:22:01.78\00:22:04.61
billions of people
from around the world
00:22:04.81\00:22:06.63
He could have sent here,
and yet He chose each one of us.
00:22:06.73\00:22:09.72
Kevin Poling has started to
work with us a little bit too,
00:22:09.92\00:22:12.48
a recent high school graduate
from here. And he does some work
00:22:12.58\00:22:14.98
at 3ABN, and he's
part of the family too.
00:22:15.08\00:22:17.81
So he was not in the
conversation but I want to
00:22:18.01\00:22:20.03
be sure to recognize him.
00:22:20.13\00:22:21.52
But we were talking about the
impact that this radio station
00:22:21.73\00:22:27.33
or this radio
network is having on people
00:22:27.43\00:22:29.64
and thus it is having on us.
00:22:29.67\00:22:31.97
A short story: got an
e-mail a few days ago,
00:22:32.73\00:22:36.37
I think it was one day
last week, a brand new listener.
00:22:36.47\00:22:39.50
And he caught
the last 15 minutes.
00:22:40.62\00:22:42.89
He was flipping the dial with
one of our affiliate stations
00:22:43.00\00:22:45.79
and he found 3ABN Radio.
00:22:46.10\00:22:49.50
And the topic... He
heard a preacher talking
00:22:49.80\00:22:53.20
and the title was:
"The Good News About Hell. "
00:22:53.50\00:22:57.62
That caught this
person's attention.
00:23:00.57\00:23:02.54
At the end of it he
wrote to us and said:
00:23:02.74\00:23:06.59
"How can I get a
copy of that program? "
00:23:06.79\00:23:08.51
Brand new
listener... not an Adventist.
00:23:08.61\00:23:10.80
"How can I get a
copy of that program?
00:23:11.00\00:23:12.34
I have some people I
want to share it with. "
00:23:12.44\00:23:14.58
That's the kind of thing
we hear from our affiliates
00:23:14.98\00:23:18.82
and listeners. I had
an e-mail the other day
00:23:18.92\00:23:22.47
from somebody in So.
Africa that's listening to us
00:23:22.57\00:23:25.20
and wanted to know the name of
a song that he was listening to.
00:23:25.30\00:23:28.69
This happens all of the time.
00:23:28.99\00:23:31.41
And I am... here we go...
00:23:31.61\00:23:34.60
One of these days I am going to
ask God why He did not give us
00:23:34.64\00:23:38.00
three hands. Have
you ever run into this?
00:23:38.10\00:23:40.06
I need a hand to
hold the microphone
00:23:40.46\00:23:42.49
and two hands to turn
the pages for my notes
00:23:42.79\00:23:45.26
when I need them. But in
any case, we get e-mails,
00:23:45.46\00:23:48.89
we get comments, we get
questions, we get answers,
00:23:49.09\00:23:52.41
we get arguments. Have you ever
run into that as an Adventist?
00:23:52.61\00:23:55.50
You're telling
somebody what the Bible said.
00:23:55.80\00:23:58.91
"No it doesn't.
" "Yes it does. "
00:23:59.01\00:24:01.02
"No it doesn't...
doesn't say that. "
00:24:01.12\00:24:02.49
And people are mad
because we say something.
00:24:02.89\00:24:05.61
We tell the truth on the
air and they get mad at that.
00:24:05.81\00:24:08.68
And so it has just
been an exciting experience.
00:24:09.72\00:24:13.59
And for anybody here or anybody
that's listening on radio
00:24:13.79\00:24:16.98
or watching on television that
feels impressed to start a LPFM
00:24:17.08\00:24:20.43
we'd like to
encourage you to do that
00:24:20.63\00:24:22.19
because you can have
some of this fun too.
00:24:22.39\00:24:24.33
We are starting... We have
continually added new radio
00:24:24.73\00:24:29.16
programs at different times.
We are starting a new program
00:24:29.26\00:24:31.47
in August. How many of
you liked Dr. Magna Parks
00:24:31.58\00:24:35.93
at Camp Meeting?
That's what I thought.
00:24:36.13\00:24:38.77
Many, many hands.
00:24:38.97\00:24:40.80
She did an incredible job, and
she's going to do an incredible
00:24:41.00\00:24:44.51
job on 3ABN Radio. She
is starting a new program
00:24:44.61\00:24:49.63
called Mind Cure.
00:24:49.83\00:24:51.80
And the inspiration
for the name of the program
00:24:52.10\00:24:54.17
came from Ellen White. And it
starts, like I said, in August.
00:24:54.27\00:24:59.27
And she's going to be
speaking about many things
00:24:59.57\00:25:03.60
that are going to be
of interest to you and to
00:25:03.80\00:25:07.08
your family members
and in your community.
00:25:07.28\00:25:09.59
And so be
listening for that as well.
00:25:09.89\00:25:12.14
We've got some new
radio affiliates I do want to
00:25:12.34\00:25:15.94
say hello to very
quickly and welcome on board.
00:25:16.14\00:25:19.28
We have a new affiliate in
Harrison, MI: WBHL FM at 90.7.
00:25:19.58\00:25:25.35
We also have a new affiliate
in Newport, VT: WJSY LP,
00:25:25.75\00:25:30.69
96.1 FM. The LP
means low power FM.
00:25:30.90\00:25:34.99
So that's one of our
new low power FM affiliates.
00:25:35.09\00:25:37.75
Now I have to say
00:25:38.05\00:25:40.39
that you may not know this.
00:25:40.69\00:25:44.62
I am going to
try to pronounce some
00:25:44.92\00:25:48.61
Australian and
New Zealand names.
00:25:49.91\00:25:52.95
If any of you have
ever tried that before,
00:25:53.25\00:25:55.43
you know what I'm facing.
00:25:55.53\00:25:56.92
I was talking to John
and Rosemary Malkiewycz
00:25:57.22\00:25:59.39
in the green room
just before coming out
00:25:59.69\00:26:02.80
and you know it was... I'd say
"No, no, no, no, like this. "
00:26:03.00\00:26:07.06
And so I'm going to try to
say them. If I get them wrong,
00:26:07.46\00:26:10.25
I apologize. But thank
you anyway for joining us
00:26:10.35\00:26:13.12
on the network. In Australia:
00:26:13.22\00:26:15.80
Kingsthorpe,
Queensland, at 88 FM.
00:26:16.59\00:26:21.18
In New Zealand:
00:26:21.48\00:26:23.04
Taranaki Hawera, 107.4.
00:26:23.64\00:26:29.57
Taranaki, New Plymouth...
that was fairly easy... 107.4.
00:26:29.77\00:26:33.98
They're all at 107.4 so they're
situated all in a particular
00:26:34.18\00:26:37.20
area. These are low power FMs.
00:26:37.30\00:26:39.65
In Taranaki, Stratford: 107.4.
00:26:39.85\00:26:42.75
Taranaki, Waitara.
00:26:43.05\00:26:45.07
And so they're all in
Australia and New Zealand.
00:26:45.47\00:26:48.87
Just brand new affiliates. Thank
you very much for joining us.
00:26:48.97\00:26:51.42
In Western Australia there is
00:26:51.82\00:26:56.41
Yarawindah... I think I'm
getting that right: 87.6 FM.
00:26:56.71\00:27:01.76
We've also picked up a
station in Nassau, Bahamas,
00:27:02.69\00:27:06.06
just recently
carrying us all day on Sunday.
00:27:06.26\00:27:09.15
It's a regular secular station
00:27:09.45\00:27:12.06
and a woman that works
there is a Seventh-day Adventist
00:27:12.46\00:27:16.95
and they gave her permission
to put Adventist programming on
00:27:17.15\00:27:20.79
on Sundays... and
guess who she came to?
00:27:20.99\00:27:23.66
Praise God! They're
located... it's global 99.5 FM.
00:27:23.89\00:27:28.99
So if you're in the
Bahamas then I encourage you
00:27:29.29\00:27:32.56
to listen to them if
you're there on Sundays.
00:27:32.66\00:27:35.51
Or local people:
listen to us every Sunday.
00:27:35.61\00:27:37.87
I do want to mention
before it's time for me
00:27:38.27\00:27:40.72
to turn over the
microphone to someone else
00:27:40.92\00:27:43.90
that it has been a
very strong honor for me.
00:27:44.20\00:27:48.00
I've been here for 14 years.
00:27:48.10\00:27:50.03
And let me say right up front:
no one has ever put up with me
00:27:50.43\00:27:54.39
for anywhere near that length
of time in my broadcast career.
00:27:54.59\00:27:57.81
I've been in Adventist broad-
casting now for almost 20 years
00:27:58.91\00:28:04.86
and it has been
such a blessing for me.
00:28:05.06\00:28:09.55
I've come to realize that
I'm not here - and I think
00:28:09.76\00:28:14.92
I can probably speak for
the rest of everybody else too -
00:28:15.06\00:28:17.48
I'm not here for
what I can do for God.
00:28:17.61\00:28:20.87
I'm here for what
God can do for me.
00:28:21.18\00:28:24.08
And I praise Him and
I thank Him very much
00:28:24.38\00:28:26.87
for bringing me to 3ABN.
00:28:27.17\00:28:28.74
And thank you all also.
00:28:29.04\00:28:31.29
Thank you, Jay.
00:28:31.59\00:28:34.22
I recall when Jay
came what a blessing it was
00:28:34.52\00:28:37.89
to have someone with
his experience to take over
00:28:37.99\00:28:40.21
the radio network, and he
has just done an incredible job.
00:28:40.31\00:28:43.47
Isn't it encouraging
to know that this message
00:28:43.67\00:28:46.45
goes over not just the
airwaves for television
00:28:46.66\00:28:49.91
but for radio as
well. And the results...
00:28:50.11\00:28:52.29
There's a great
harvest with that radio signal.
00:28:52.39\00:28:55.33
And there's another
harvest, too. We have a ministry
00:28:55.54\00:28:58.93
that is in the
Spanish language. And Johnny,
00:28:59.13\00:29:02.03
the Spanish-speaking world...
00:29:02.82\00:29:04.32
what is the population of
the Spanish-speaking world?
00:29:04.62\00:29:07.47
I know you told me this once.
00:29:07.57\00:29:09.16
Four hundred
million. Four hundred million.
00:29:09.36\00:29:11.93
Do you think we needed a
ministry that would touch
00:29:12.13\00:29:13.97
these people? Well,
the ministry here at 3ABN
00:29:14.07\00:29:17.80
to touch the Spanish-
speaking people in our world
00:29:18.00\00:29:20.24
today was birthed in
the heart of John Dinzey.
00:29:20.34\00:29:22.99
And I don't want to
take up any of his time
00:29:23.09\00:29:24.99
because when you get Johnny
to start talking about the
00:29:25.19\00:29:28.01
ministry of 3ABN Latino
there's no stopping him.
00:29:28.11\00:29:31.46
So Johnny, tell
us about 3ABN Latino.
00:29:31.66\00:29:34.12
Thank you, Mollie. It's a
pleasure to share with you
00:29:34.42\00:29:36.47
some of the things that
are happening in 3ABN Latino
00:29:36.57\00:29:38.70
because there are many.
00:29:38.90\00:29:40.25
I would like to share with
you. I am grateful to the Lord
00:29:40.55\00:29:44.52
for our staff. One of the
staff members I live with:
00:29:44.62\00:29:49.26
my wife Idalia... so I can tell
you a little bit more about her
00:29:49.36\00:29:52.35
than anyone
else... but she lives 3ABN.
00:29:52.45\00:29:55.49
Late at night... You know, early
in the morning she gets up.
00:29:55.59\00:29:57.81
She's administrative assistant.
Jorge Jaque - another worker
00:29:58.11\00:30:01.84
that works hard for the Lord
- he's our Production Manager.
00:30:01.94\00:30:04.24
We have our Supervising
Editor: Ismael Terón.
00:30:04.44\00:30:07.92
And in editing also
we have Carolina Bonilla
00:30:08.23\00:30:11.52
and Ismael's wife,
Teresa - Teresa in Spanish -
00:30:11.72\00:30:16.21
she works as one of our...
our Production Coordinator.
00:30:16.41\00:30:20.09
Works along with Dee.
And we have Irma Murray
00:30:20.29\00:30:23.92
is one of our production
assistants and sometimes
00:30:24.12\00:30:26.15
produces programs.
We also have Adam Barrón
00:30:26.25\00:30:30.25
helps with 3ABN Latino
programming for TV and radio
00:30:30.45\00:30:34.73
plus does some
editing when he has time.
00:30:34.97\00:30:37.35
Everyone does a little
more than... other jobs.
00:30:37.55\00:30:40.49
We also have Rosio
Barrón works in our Call Center.
00:30:40.89\00:30:43.97
We get support from other
members of the 3ABN staff.
00:30:44.17\00:30:47.13
The production
staff is amazing at 3ABN
00:30:47.33\00:30:50.98
and so we praise
the Lord for them.
00:30:51.28\00:30:53.37
And we also are grateful
to the Lord for Moses Primo
00:30:53.87\00:30:57.12
and his support, his help.
00:30:57.22\00:30:58.82
We have Hernando Cruz as
well, also from Colombia.
00:30:59.02\00:31:03.34
Speaks Spanish.
Deyvy Rodriguez... he's...
00:31:03.54\00:31:06.57
has Mexican background.
00:31:06.67\00:31:08.18
And we have others that help us,
00:31:08.38\00:31:11.52
and so we praise the Lord
for each and every one of them.
00:31:11.72\00:31:13.87
So, put on your seat belts.
00:31:14.17\00:31:16.99
We're about to share with you
some of the things that God is
00:31:17.09\00:31:19.82
doing. 3ABN Latino
Radio is very young.
00:31:19.92\00:31:22.68
However, we have a handful
of people putting on some of our
00:31:22.98\00:31:27.13
programs in the US
and some in South America.
00:31:27.23\00:31:30.10
We'll talk a little
bit more about that later.
00:31:30.40\00:31:32.29
And some of the radio
stations in Puerto Rico,
00:31:32.59\00:31:37.40
Dominican
Republic, and South America
00:31:37.60\00:31:40.89
join us when we have
special evangelistic campaigns.
00:31:41.09\00:31:45.10
3ABN television -
Latino television -
00:31:45.50\00:31:48.13
the Lord has
blessed in a mighty way.
00:31:48.33\00:31:50.69
We're almost 10
years old but we are past
00:31:50.89\00:31:54.24
1,100 cable companies in dif-
ferent countries of the world.
00:31:54.45\00:31:57.70
Amen? Amen! And the Lord is
doing great and mighty things.
00:31:57.90\00:32:01.30
So let me share with you some
of the things that He's doing.
00:32:02.15\00:32:04.57
We have done several
evangelistic campaigns
00:32:04.77\00:32:06.90
so far this year, so hundreds
of people have come to the Lord
00:32:07.00\00:32:10.88
because of these
evangelistic campaigns.
00:32:11.08\00:32:12.68
We do not have time to
share with you about those
00:32:12.88\00:32:15.25
but let me share with you
some very... the quick version
00:32:15.45\00:32:20.69
of some of the
things that God has done.
00:32:20.79\00:32:23.07
In Honduras a pastor -
00:32:24.09\00:32:26.79
a Baptist pastor -
walks into the church
00:32:26.82\00:32:28.89
and says: "I would like to speak
to the pastor of the church
00:32:29.09\00:32:30.91
please. " And he
gets a meeting with him
00:32:31.01\00:32:33.83
and they talk and he says:
"My wife and my 2 children and I
00:32:33.93\00:32:37.51
would like to be baptized.
" Oh, we are surprised.
00:32:37.61\00:32:40.45
"Well, you need to
take Bible studies. "
00:32:40.55\00:32:42.17
He says: "Well, I've already
studied with different speakers
00:32:42.37\00:32:45.47
on 3ABN Latino. I've been
watching for six months. "
00:32:45.58\00:32:48.35
And so the pastor
asked him some questions,
00:32:48.75\00:32:50.72
and sure enough he was prepared.
00:32:50.92\00:32:52.86
He says: "When do you
want to be baptized? "
00:32:52.97\00:32:54.33
"Next Sabbath is fine with me. "
00:32:54.53\00:32:55.90
And so next Sabbath he was
baptized along with his family.
00:32:56.00\00:32:58.74
In El Salvador, a
man walks into a church.
00:32:58.98\00:33:01.25
He's greeted by the members
00:33:01.55\00:33:03.24
and they say: "Well
what church are you from?
00:33:03.45\00:33:05.38
We've never seen you before. "
00:33:05.58\00:33:06.62
"I'm a member of another
denomination and for over twenty
00:33:06.92\00:33:10.30
years I was there.
But after four months
00:33:10.40\00:33:13.28
of watching 3ABN
Latino I have learned more
00:33:13.48\00:33:15.79
in four months than in 20
years in the other denomination.
00:33:15.99\00:33:18.63
So from now on
this is my church. "
00:33:18.83\00:33:20.77
So we praise the Lord for that.
00:33:21.17\00:33:22.72
And so I now
move you to Costa Rica
00:33:23.12\00:33:26.38
where a man
wrote to us and said:
00:33:26.58\00:33:28.90
"For over 28 years I
preached against the SDA church
00:33:29.10\00:33:34.35
and Ellen G. White,
00:33:34.56\00:33:36.93
and I started watching 3ABN
Latino because I wanted to learn
00:33:37.23\00:33:40.58
more so I could have more things
to talk about you against. "
00:33:40.78\00:33:45.12
And so after
watching for a while he says:
00:33:46.18\00:33:49.51
"I learned that it is a
completely Biblical message.
00:33:50.67\00:33:55.37
So this is my third week that
I am a Seventh-day Adventist
00:33:55.67\00:33:59.96
and I am keeping the
Sabbath. Praise the Lord! "
00:34:00.06\00:34:02.46
And so now I
move you to Colombia
00:34:03.62\00:34:07.84
where a man was on
the point of suicide
00:34:08.14\00:34:12.39
and watched 3ABN
Latino all night and said:
00:34:12.69\00:34:15.74
"I've got to be a
member of this church.
00:34:15.94\00:34:17.42
I have hope in Jesus
Christ" and was baptized.
00:34:17.62\00:34:21.36
And so I don't have time
to tell you about a cable
00:34:21.77\00:34:25.23
executive that was
baptized. Came into the church
00:34:25.33\00:34:28.86
and as a result sent an e-mail
saying: "Here is a list of
00:34:28.96\00:34:34.51
29 cable companies that
you can put 3ABN Latino on. "
00:34:34.61\00:34:38.93
Praise the Lord!
00:34:39.13\00:34:40.22
And so the Lord is
doing great and mighty things
00:34:40.62\00:34:44.37
and He's working
behind the scenes.
00:34:45.43\00:34:47.29
I could tell you about
Mexico where a president
00:34:47.49\00:34:50.91
of a municipality
contacted the local conference
00:34:51.01\00:34:54.90
and said: "I've
been watching 3ABN Latino
00:34:55.10\00:34:57.79
and there are some
interesting things in the Bible
00:34:58.09\00:35:01.14
I have learned. Send me
more information about the SDA
00:35:01.24\00:35:04.42
church. You guys are
doing what the Bible says. "
00:35:04.52\00:35:08.01
And there a man in
Mexico - he was a SDA -
00:35:08.74\00:35:12.33
he went to one of those little
corner stores... things where
00:35:12.53\00:35:15.93
they make tacos and things.
00:35:16.03\00:35:18.48
And he... "I would like a
taco with this and with this. "
00:35:18.68\00:35:21.29
Great. And they talked for
a while. And the man making
00:35:21.49\00:35:24.85
the taco asked him a few
questions and learned that the
00:35:24.95\00:35:28.05
guy that wanted the taco
was a Seventh-day Adventist.
00:35:28.15\00:35:30.54
He said: "You're a
SDA? " "Yes I am. "
00:35:30.64\00:35:33.30
He said: "I've been
looking for a SDA church
00:35:33.50\00:35:36.20
because I've been watching
this channel called 3ABN Latino
00:35:36.30\00:35:39.45
and I want to be a
member of that church.
00:35:39.65\00:35:41.28
Can you help me? "
00:35:41.48\00:35:42.81
"Of course" he said.
00:35:43.01\00:35:44.68
And so God is doing
great and mighty things.
00:35:45.18\00:35:47.86
I could tell you about
Puerto Rico where a man
00:35:48.16\00:35:50.54
started watching 3ABN
Latino of another denomination.
00:35:50.74\00:35:53.44
And his wife came in:
"What is this you're watching? "
00:35:53.75\00:35:56.18
"It's 3ABN Latino. Come
and see this... this is good! "
00:35:56.38\00:35:58.82
She sat down for a while and
said: "I don't believe that. "
00:35:59.03\00:36:01.97
He said: "Shhh... this is
good stuff, this is Biblical. "
00:36:02.27\00:36:06.89
And she walked away. The
next day he's watching again.
00:36:07.19\00:36:10.11
She sat down and it
was interesting to her.
00:36:10.41\00:36:12.91
And the short version is:
00:36:13.21\00:36:15.06
she and her
husband were both baptized.
00:36:15.26\00:36:18.00
And the Lord continues to
do great and mighty things.
00:36:20.09\00:36:23.21
And I could tell
you of another place
00:36:23.91\00:36:27.73
where we have... As a matter of
fact, let me go to the US now.
00:36:27.93\00:36:31.56
Last year I had the
opportunity to accompany my son
00:36:31.96\00:36:35.96
who was playing
guitar in Arizona.
00:36:36.17\00:36:38.83
While there in a Camp
Meeting I sat in the back
00:36:39.13\00:36:43.14
as I heard a man say this story:
00:36:43.34\00:36:46.15
"I was a member of the
denomination of the Witnesses
00:36:46.45\00:36:49.64
and I was sick and at
home for several weeks
00:36:49.94\00:36:54.24
and there started
watching television.
00:36:54.54\00:36:57.17
And certain
pastors like Pastor Bohr
00:36:57.57\00:37:01.15
kept teaching me new
things that I did not know. "
00:37:01.45\00:37:06.46
And so he was being interviewed
in the front and they asked him
00:37:06.86\00:37:10.21
"So... where do you
see your future going? "
00:37:10.41\00:37:13.39
He says: "Well I cannot say I
am a Seventh-day Adventist yet
00:37:13.59\00:37:17.89
but I'm heading
in that direction
00:37:18.02\00:37:20.32
and so you pray for me. "
00:37:20.72\00:37:22.81
I continued sitting
there. When the next sermon came
00:37:23.22\00:37:28.37
the pastor made an appeal:
00:37:28.58\00:37:30.08
"How many people
want to be baptized?
00:37:30.18\00:37:31.97
If you want to be
baptized come to the front. "
00:37:32.07\00:37:34.49
And I saw that person
that said he was a Witness
00:37:34.79\00:37:39.22
of that denomination
come to the front saying
00:37:39.42\00:37:42.13
"I want to be baptized. "
00:37:42.34\00:37:43.97
So that very day he made his
decision to follow Jesus Christ
00:37:44.17\00:37:47.71
all the way.
00:37:48.01\00:37:49.40
So we're leaving now Arizona
and we're there at the airport
00:37:49.70\00:37:52.69
and my son and I were
trying to get something to eat
00:37:52.89\00:37:55.81
because we left early in
the morning from that camp
00:37:56.01\00:37:58.34
and there in the airport
this lady kept looking at me
00:37:58.64\00:38:02.01
and said: "I've seen you before.
I think I've seen you on TV. "
00:38:04.16\00:38:07.36
And I said: "Well yes,
I work with 3ABN Latino. "
00:38:08.44\00:38:10.93
"I knew it! " she
said... "I knew it! "
00:38:11.13\00:38:12.90
And so you see
even in the airports
00:38:13.20\00:38:15.98
people... you see
people that watch our channel.
00:38:16.01\00:38:19.31
Guatemala: we are on over
90% of the cable companies.
00:38:20.59\00:38:24.66
And I recently learned that
a man of another denomination -
00:38:24.77\00:38:28.69
he was elderly already -
I almost switched to Spanish
00:38:28.89\00:38:32.00
on you - elderly already.
But he said: "I started watching
00:38:32.10\00:38:36.41
3ABN Latino and I cannot believe
that I missed this important
00:38:36.61\00:38:41.48
message all my life.
The seventh-day Sabbath
00:38:41.58\00:38:45.33
is God's holy day and I
am thrilled to begin keeping
00:38:45.53\00:38:50.12
the seventh-day Sabbath. "
Over 1500 members of his church
00:38:50.32\00:38:54.60
he began to tell
them: "Brothers and sisters:
00:38:54.80\00:38:57.58
we need to follow the Bible.
00:38:57.88\00:38:59.99
The seventh day
is God's holy day. "
00:39:00.19\00:39:02.98
Now you see, God continues
to do great and mighty things.
00:39:03.96\00:39:06.57
You see, just two weeks ago
we were on a job in Puerto Rico
00:39:06.77\00:39:10.47
and I get a phone call
from two of our representatives
00:39:10.60\00:39:14.01
in Guatemala and they said:
00:39:14.21\00:39:16.80
"Praise the Lord! We
got another cable company...
00:39:17.01\00:39:19.21
500,000 subscribers! "
00:39:19.41\00:39:22.39
If you multiply that by four
- which is about the average
00:39:22.59\00:39:24.79
family - you get an idea.
00:39:24.89\00:39:26.95
Two days later they
called back and they said:
00:39:27.25\00:39:29.49
"We have another one!
A million subscribers! "
00:39:29.69\00:39:32.54
Praise the Lord! Did
somebody say "Amen? "
00:39:32.84\00:39:36.20
And so this week
ended marvelously -
00:39:37.42\00:39:39.76
you see - because this week I
received a call. They told us,
00:39:40.06\00:39:43.45
they said: "There are two
radio stations in Nicaragua
00:39:43.65\00:39:46.56
and they have
interest in 3ABN Latino radio.
00:39:46.76\00:39:50.71
And so before the day was over
00:39:51.01\00:39:53.45
Hernando Cruz comes
to my office and says:
00:39:53.65\00:39:55.73
"Here is a request for 50 more
cable companies for Venezuela. "
00:39:55.93\00:39:59.53
Praise the Lord!
00:39:59.74\00:40:01.17
May the Lord
continue to bless 3ABN.
00:40:01.48\00:40:03.66
Jesus Christ is coming soon.
00:40:03.86\00:40:05.91
Amen! Isn't that
a tremendous report?
00:40:09.86\00:40:12.53
Eddie Canales is on 3ABN
Latino and one of the speakers.
00:40:13.03\00:40:17.43
He told me: "I
don't care where I go
00:40:17.56\00:40:19.83
in Inter or South America,
when I walk down the street
00:40:20.03\00:40:23.44
they say: "Oh, we
see you on 3ABN! "
00:40:23.64\00:40:25.62
So it's amazing the outreach.
00:40:26.03\00:40:28.56
I want you to meet Moses Primo.
00:40:28.86\00:40:30.80
You know him
better than you know me.
00:40:31.01\00:40:32.81
But Moses is our
Director of Engineering.
00:40:33.11\00:40:36.48
We've got some wonderful
opportunities, don't we?
00:40:36.78\00:40:40.31
Well Pastor Jim, how
much are you charging for this
00:40:40.51\00:40:42.80
international tour that you're
giving to our viewers here?
00:40:43.00\00:40:45.70
It started this morning
with Julia - that's right -
00:40:45.90\00:40:49.59
in Russia and we're going
to many different countries.
00:40:49.70\00:40:52.24
Moving around the globe,
and that's the way the message
00:40:52.44\00:40:54.89
is moving... it really is.
I'm going to take them to some
00:40:54.99\00:40:57.77
of the Caribbean islands and
then after me John is going to
00:40:57.87\00:41:01.48
take them to Australia also. OK!
One of the things that people
00:41:01.58\00:41:06.76
are asking us about all
the time is the Internet.
00:41:06.86\00:41:09.26
Tell us, what's
going on with the Internet?
00:41:09.56\00:41:11.61
Well, I just want to
give a little numbers.
00:41:11.91\00:41:14.48
I was just in the green room
and I logged into the computer
00:41:14.68\00:41:18.68
and I checked.
Just between last night
00:41:18.88\00:41:22.39
when we started the Camp
Meeting and now we've had
00:41:22.49\00:41:25.46
about 45,000 people watching...
00:41:25.56\00:41:28.41
streaming on the Internet only.
00:41:28.61\00:41:32.02
And as we are here in
Thompsonville there is about
00:41:32.42\00:41:36.56
18,000 watching
right now. On the Internet!
00:41:36.76\00:41:40.69
Not television because we have
no idea how many are watching
00:41:40.83\00:41:44.01
on TV. Just on
computers they are watching.
00:41:44.11\00:41:46.40
And between last night and today
00:41:46.80\00:41:49.81
there were 75,000
hits on the website
00:41:50.01\00:41:53.85
trying to watch or
search for something.
00:41:54.05\00:41:57.53
The Internet is really
growing. We can see the ramp of
00:41:57.74\00:42:01.88
the results really going up.
00:42:01.98\00:42:04.31
Channels like 3ABN
Proclaim! is watching a lot
00:42:04.61\00:42:09.26
which tells us that people
want to hear more preaching.
00:42:09.46\00:42:12.66
Right... that's right.
00:42:12.86\00:42:14.19
Give us a good report. So
I wanted to continue the tour
00:42:14.39\00:42:18.74
here by bringing you a
little bit to Papua, New Guinea.
00:42:18.94\00:42:24.87
After I participated in the
opening of the Production Center
00:42:25.07\00:42:30.42
in Australia when my
wife was there helping me
00:42:30.62\00:42:35.49
and my son. And then
they came back to the US
00:42:35.69\00:42:38.83
and I went across the
ocean to Papua, New Guinea.
00:42:39.03\00:42:42.98
And there with our engineer
Dan Peek that was already there
00:42:43.62\00:42:47.49
working before me
we were able to start
00:42:47.79\00:42:52.64
a new television station
free to air - where people don't
00:42:52.74\00:42:56.85
need to connect to the Internet,
they don't need subscription.
00:42:56.95\00:43:00.96
They just turn on their rabbit
ears and then they can receive
00:43:01.16\00:43:04.15
the Three Angels
channel in the city of Lae.
00:43:04.45\00:43:08.63
This is the second largest
city in Papua, New Guinea.
00:43:08.83\00:43:11.67
And then Mount Hagen also.
00:43:12.11\00:43:14.74
If you're watching
from one of these places
00:43:14.94\00:43:19.45
in Papua, New
Guinea, we want to welcome
00:43:19.65\00:43:22.62
especially you that are in Lae,
which is a new station for you.
00:43:22.82\00:43:27.24
Thank you for watching
us and we are praying for
00:43:27.44\00:43:29.86
the work to continue
in Papua, New Guinea.
00:43:30.06\00:43:32.15
Actually, there are
already three other groups
00:43:32.35\00:43:35.34
in Papua, New Guinea, that
are developing, raising funds
00:43:35.54\00:43:39.37
and buying equipment, and
they're going to be on the air
00:43:39.57\00:43:42.09
soon. So that's going
to make seven TV stations
00:43:42.29\00:43:45.55
in Papua, New
Guinea. We thank you so much
00:43:45.75\00:43:49.12
for your support that has
helped with this ministry there
00:43:49.32\00:43:52.24
and for your prayers,
and we are really eager
00:43:52.44\00:43:56.67
to even advance more
in Papua, New Guinea,
00:43:56.87\00:44:00.78
and also the Pacific...
what we call Pacific Rim.
00:44:00.98\00:44:04.71
The nine satellites that
will go all around the world
00:44:05.01\00:44:09.34
they don't concentrate
in the Pacific Rim because
00:44:10.50\00:44:13.56
mostly it's water. But
there are islands there
00:44:13.67\00:44:17.30
that still need to receive this
message of the Three Angels.
00:44:17.50\00:44:21.39
So by meeting with
one of the people there
00:44:21.69\00:44:25.79
in Papua, New Guinea,
that asked not to give his name
00:44:25.99\00:44:30.73
he is working with
us to get a satellite
00:44:31.03\00:44:35.62
to cover all of
the Pacific Rim islands
00:44:35.82\00:44:39.61
and he is very active to
build television stations
00:44:39.85\00:44:44.93
to repeat this signal
in the small islands like
00:44:45.13\00:44:48.87
the Solomon Islands, many
other islands that I don't
00:44:49.07\00:44:54.23
want to even mention the names
right now because I forgot.
00:44:54.33\00:44:56.87
But these people...
some of them don't even have
00:44:57.17\00:45:01.06
electricity. But he
has already a system
00:45:01.16\00:45:04.26
that with solar
panels and a satellite
00:45:04.46\00:45:07.47
he can broadcast to the
people that have electricity.
00:45:07.67\00:45:12.09
So we are very excited
to cover the Pacific Rim,
00:45:12.29\00:45:15.90
to continue
covering Papua, New Guinea.
00:45:16.10\00:45:19.87
And I want to bring you
back to... I'm not going to stop
00:45:20.17\00:45:23.87
in the US for now.
I'm going to go right over
00:45:24.08\00:45:26.87
the Caribbean and
talk about three islands
00:45:27.17\00:45:31.70
in the Caribbean that
are French-speaking islands.
00:45:31.90\00:45:35.45
I received some
calls from two people
00:45:36.74\00:45:41.48
in Martinique. And they
said: "We really want to start
00:45:41.68\00:45:45.15
3ABN here but - you
know - people speak French.
00:45:45.25\00:45:49.18
And although they can
understand some English
00:45:49.48\00:45:52.28
but we need to produce programs
in the French language. "
00:45:52.48\00:45:56.22
And I receive a lot of calls;
I receive a lot of requests...
00:45:57.08\00:46:00.01
but we don't have all the funds
00:46:00.31\00:46:02.05
to accommodate
all these requests.
00:46:02.25\00:46:05.29
So I continued
busy and I let it go.
00:46:05.59\00:46:09.43
But they started themselves
down there to raise some funds
00:46:09.63\00:46:14.37
there locally and
they started to produce.
00:46:14.47\00:46:17.24
And they have I would say
probably close to 400 hours
00:46:17.54\00:46:20.87
of local content in French.
00:46:21.07\00:46:24.51
And they said: "We want to
do a Ten Commandment Weekend.
00:46:24.71\00:46:27.74
We watched this on
3ABN a few years ago
00:46:27.84\00:46:31.36
and you don't do that anymore.
00:46:31.46\00:46:32.76
We want to do it in
the French language.
00:46:32.96\00:46:35.54
So we want to invite
you. " So I said: "OK! "
00:46:35.84\00:46:40.18
And so I brought
some of the footage,
00:46:40.38\00:46:43.56
some of the graphics on
the Ten Commandments that we
00:46:43.76\00:46:46.58
used to do here in the US.
00:46:46.68\00:46:48.17
And my wife and I went there.
00:46:48.38\00:46:51.17
We helped them,
and for the first time
00:46:51.37\00:46:54.52
in French-island history
we had 3ABN in the French...
00:46:54.72\00:47:00.65
100% French language... for
2 days - Saturday and Sunday -
00:47:00.76\00:47:05.80
where we had the Ten
Commandments brought up to
00:47:06.59\00:47:11.22
the memory of
people. Each commandment was
00:47:11.25\00:47:14.68
preached by one
of the local pastors
00:47:14.89\00:47:17.54
and it was a tremendous success.
00:47:17.75\00:47:20.76
After the program was over
00:47:21.06\00:47:23.61
we had the opportunity to
meet with the president of the
00:47:23.81\00:47:26.83
conference in Guadeloupe.
00:47:26.93\00:47:28.78
Then we flew to Martinique.
We had the opportunity to meet
00:47:28.98\00:47:32.84
the president of the
conference in Martinique
00:47:32.94\00:47:35.40
and we also met with
the president of the union
00:47:35.70\00:47:39.55
that takes care of all the
three islands of Guadeloupe,
00:47:39.75\00:47:43.12
Martinique, and the
French Guiana islands.
00:47:43.22\00:47:46.39
So then they invited me
to go to the cable company
00:47:46.69\00:47:50.23
because all these three islands
they are sort of tied together
00:47:50.53\00:47:54.04
under one cable company.
00:47:54.14\00:47:56.35
Actually there is
a major cable company
00:47:56.45\00:47:58.00
and there is another one.
00:47:58.10\00:47:59.35
We are on the
major cable company,
00:47:59.55\00:48:01.86
and it is 24 hours
a day of 3ABN English.
00:48:02.06\00:48:06.83
And then part of the day they
interrupt the satellite signal
00:48:07.04\00:48:11.75
and they play back
some local programming.
00:48:11.96\00:48:14.28
So the people are
able to actually watch some
00:48:15.14\00:48:18.36
programs in the French speaking.
00:48:18.57\00:48:20.27
They are very...
in the beginning stage
00:48:20.47\00:48:23.51
so they felt a little
uncomfortable in going
00:48:23.71\00:48:27.12
full time. But this
couple is coming here
00:48:27.22\00:48:30.44
at the end of this month of
June and they're going to spend
00:48:30.64\00:48:33.22
two months. They took two
months' leave from their work
00:48:33.42\00:48:37.22
to spend two months here
learning more about how to do
00:48:37.42\00:48:41.18
production. How to take
care of the programming.
00:48:41.29\00:48:45.85
How to... You know,
learn how to use the cameras
00:48:47.07\00:48:51.28
and everything.
Hopefully we can teach them
00:48:51.48\00:48:55.54
and they can go back and
develop more of this work
00:48:55.74\00:48:59.29
in Martinique,
Guadeloupe, and French Guiana.
00:48:59.39\00:49:02.60
So they asked me to
go to the cable company
00:49:02.81\00:49:05.76
and see if they would just
leave our programs 24 hours.
00:49:05.96\00:49:10.67
Because we were on live for
this Ten Commandment Weekend
00:49:10.87\00:49:15.71
but we wanted to stay on
24 hours. So after talking
00:49:15.92\00:49:19.32
to the director
of the cable company
00:49:19.52\00:49:21.74
she said: "Yeah, you
need to improve your quality
00:49:22.14\00:49:27.43
a little bit. " I said:
"Well this was just a live
00:49:27.53\00:49:31.25
production that we did here
00:49:31.35\00:49:32.87
but our satellite
signal is very good quality
00:49:33.07\00:49:36.14
and I just want to ask
you one other question...
00:49:36.35\00:49:40.54
one more favor.
00:49:40.75\00:49:41.78
What would it take
to take this signal
00:49:41.99\00:49:47.23
here from Martinique
all the way to France? "
00:49:47.43\00:49:51.28
And then she was
a little taken back
00:49:51.68\00:49:55.95
and she said: "Well technically
I can push one button
00:49:56.25\00:49:59.83
and make that happen. "
00:49:59.93\00:50:01.23
I said: "Wow!
Would you do that? "
00:50:01.43\00:50:03.34
And she said:
"Oh, maybe next year.
00:50:03.54\00:50:05.40
We need to see you
guys... if you are serious about
00:50:05.60\00:50:09.04
your programming 24 hours. "
00:50:09.14\00:50:11.78
So I want to ask you to
pray. The possibility is there.
00:50:11.98\00:50:15.19
We need to continue
with this local content
00:50:15.22\00:50:18.42
in French speaking. And
the possibility of this woman's
00:50:18.63\00:50:22.83
heart may be
stirred by the Holy Spirit
00:50:23.03\00:50:25.95
and that she would
agree to just push one button.
00:50:26.06\00:50:28.54
And this cable company can
reach I don't know how many
00:50:28.64\00:50:33.25
hundreds of thousands of
people throughout the country of
00:50:33.45\00:50:36.40
France. And this would
be a really dream come true
00:50:36.50\00:50:41.73
because it is almost impossible
to broadcast religious channels
00:50:41.93\00:50:46.27
in France. I've
tried; I've been there.
00:50:46.47\00:50:48.88
I've met with cable companies
and satellite companies in Paris
00:50:49.08\00:50:52.78
and it was not possible.
00:50:52.98\00:50:55.65
But through the Caribbean
islands we can reach France.
00:50:55.85\00:50:59.65
And I know that the Lord
still has some souls in France
00:50:59.95\00:51:04.74
that are sincere and
they want to hear more
00:51:04.84\00:51:08.77
about God. I just want
to show you a little bit
00:51:08.87\00:51:12.40
before my time is over
a little bit of our visit
00:51:12.50\00:51:16.57
there in
Martinique and Guadeloupe.
00:51:16.67\00:51:18.80
And I ask production just
to roll this program here.
00:51:19.00\00:51:23.15
Stay tuned for more of
the Ten Commandments Weekend
00:51:25.74\00:51:28.93
on 3ABN.
00:51:29.23\00:51:30.64
We are so happy to be here
today that we are uplifting
00:51:30.95\00:51:34.82
the Ten
Commandments today... God's law.
00:51:34.93\00:51:37.43
Before I start to tell
you about the 3ABN miracles
00:51:42.77\00:51:46.17
let me tell you about
the one miracle that happens
00:51:46.37\00:51:49.43
with the Ten Commandments.
00:51:49.53\00:51:50.85
His name is Taylor Lambert.
He is the Union Director
00:51:55.64\00:52:00.44
of Communications and he is
very excited about the work in
00:52:00.54\00:52:06.23
the islands. He actually
accepted just this week -
00:52:06.43\00:52:11.34
he had to consult with
the Union - but just this week
00:52:11.54\00:52:15.67
he accepted to be
a member of our board
00:52:15.87\00:52:19.30
3ABN Français in the islands.
00:52:19.50\00:52:22.88
So we have somebody
that will work with us
00:52:23.08\00:52:27.03
with reaching the churches.
00:52:27.23\00:52:31.09
You see there the
audience, and we also had
00:52:31.29\00:52:35.91
a guest speaker. His
name is Wayne Atwood.
00:52:36.11\00:52:41.39
He is the
President of 3ABN Canada
00:52:41.69\00:52:44.34
and he speaks French
because they do a lot of work
00:52:44.64\00:52:48.25
in the French
language in Quebec in Canada.
00:52:48.45\00:52:52.01
And he came and he had
a good message for us too.
00:52:52.24\00:52:56.47
Here is a church in Martinique
00:52:56.68\00:53:00.66
where they asked me to
preach on Wednesday night
00:53:00.86\00:53:03.54
and they
translated. A lot of people came
00:53:03.75\00:53:06.73
and a lot of these people
are already viewers of 3ABN.
00:53:06.93\00:53:11.38
And I don't know how they do
because they don't understand
00:53:11.59\00:53:15.82
100% of the English and
they only have a few programs
00:53:16.02\00:53:21.57
in French. But here we
have the beautiful music also.
00:53:21.77\00:53:26.32
I want you to just sample
a little bit of the music.
00:53:26.52\00:53:29.85
We had some youth
coming and singing also.
00:53:51.24\00:53:54.05
We had solos, quartets. It
was just a beautiful weekend
00:53:54.25\00:53:57.54
that we spent praising the Lord.
00:53:57.64\00:53:59.88
I also have a picture of a...
I believe this is going to be
00:54:00.18\00:54:04.03
a memory meeting
that we had with the Union
00:54:04.23\00:54:08.86
and the
Conference. From your far left
00:54:09.07\00:54:12.93
you have the President of
the Union: Max-René Laurent.
00:54:13.13\00:54:18.20
And then Simon Bolo is
00:54:18.41\00:54:21.75
our 3ABN Français Director there
00:54:21.95\00:54:26.26
and Rose Bolo is his wife.
00:54:26.46\00:54:29.20
And the two of them - the
couple - are coming at the end
00:54:29.41\00:54:32.46
of this month
to be trained here.
00:54:32.56\00:54:34.16
And then we also have the
President of the Conference
00:54:34.36\00:54:37.90
in Guadeloupe. His
name is Alain Angerville
00:54:38.00\00:54:42.55
and we were very thankful
that they gave us the time
00:54:42.75\00:54:47.68
to talk to all the pastors.
The President of the Union said
00:54:47.78\00:54:51.43
"I want you to take time
to talk to all the pastors
00:54:51.63\00:54:54.41
and tell them how they
can work with 3ABN Français. "
00:54:54.51\00:54:58.82
And put their
programs on the screen,
00:54:59.02\00:55:02.14
put their phone numbers,
and get the people to know
00:55:02.34\00:55:05.68
that this is a local TV station
and that they can come to the
00:55:05.88\00:55:10.47
churches if they
want more information.
00:55:10.57\00:55:12.35
So I really appreciate
the support of the Union.
00:55:12.55\00:55:16.64
And the local people there...
they took us in their cars
00:55:16.84\00:55:20.28
and they showed us around.
00:55:20.38\00:55:22.70
They went to
meeting after meeting.
00:55:22.90\00:55:24.65
One thing they have
a very tight schedule.
00:55:24.75\00:55:28.55
They take you from one
meeting and then they say:
00:55:28.66\00:55:30.36
"Now we're going to eat and then
after that we're going to go
00:55:30.46\00:55:33.18
to another meeting. " So
it was a very tight schedule
00:55:33.28\00:55:36.23
to meet all these
people and help to advance
00:55:36.33\00:55:42.12
the work in the
islands... the French islands...
00:55:42.32\00:55:46.00
and to record programs in
the French-speaking language.
00:55:46.20\00:55:50.96
I believe this is going
to be a tremendous blessing
00:55:51.17\00:55:54.23
for the French viewers that
they will be able to actually
00:55:54.44\00:56:00.13
not only try to watch
in the English language
00:56:00.16\00:56:03.88
on the cable company but
they also will be able to
00:56:04.08\00:56:06.38
to understand more
and participate by going
00:56:06.58\00:56:10.13
to a facility that we are going
to look for a facility there
00:56:10.23\00:56:13.93
to have a way of...
We have a very small
00:56:14.13\00:56:17.26
studio that Simon
and Rose have acquired.
00:56:17.76\00:56:22.83
It's very, very
small. A very modest camera
00:56:23.03\00:56:26.19
like a
camcorder, but we wanted to
00:56:26.39\00:56:30.32
pray that the financial
support will allow us to build
00:56:30.52\00:56:34.39
a bigger studio for them
and more professional cameras
00:56:34.49\00:56:37.43
and will help them to
prepare a more quality program
00:56:37.63\00:56:42.39
that the cable company director
will be able to push that button
00:56:42.49\00:56:46.47
and take this signal
all the way to France.
00:56:46.67\00:56:48.54
It is my prayer, and I ask
you that you pray for this also.
00:56:48.74\00:56:53.23
We are very excited
for this last project
00:56:53.43\00:56:57.74
that we are
endeavor here at 3ABN.
00:56:57.94\00:57:00.77
Thank you so much for your
support and for your prayers.
00:57:00.97\00:57:04.31
And now I'm going to...
Oh, Mollie's going to introduce
00:57:04.44\00:57:08.63
John and Rosemary...
which is a tremendous project
00:57:08.83\00:57:11.97
there that I'm
very excited about too.
00:57:12.17\00:57:14.32
You know what you
have just witnessed
00:57:14.62\00:57:17.08
is the birthing of a
new ministry here at 3ABN
00:57:17.28\00:57:20.10
to the French-speaking
people of the world.
00:57:20.20\00:57:22.36
How many of you feel like the
French-speaking people of this
00:57:22.66\00:57:24.95
world need to hear the gospel
- Amen! - just as much as any...
00:57:25.05\00:57:28.99
as the English-speaking
people of this world
00:57:29.09\00:57:31.17
and the Spanish and
those that speak Australian.
00:57:31.27\00:57:34.86
I'm so happy to introduce to you
John and Rosemary Malkiewycz.
00:57:35.97\00:57:39.80
And you are about to celebrate
your 10th anniversary there
00:57:40.00\00:57:43.68
in Australia, aren't you?
00:57:43.78\00:57:45.17
That's right. And you
just had a great celebration
00:57:45.37\00:57:48.15
of the opening of your facility.
I'm going to let you tell
00:57:48.35\00:57:51.74
these people of the great things
that God is doing Down Under.
00:57:51.84\00:57:54.90
Thank you very much, Mollie.
00:57:55.20\00:57:56.85
I just want to correct Mollie.
00:57:57.15\00:57:58.63
There's two main
languages in the world:
00:57:58.93\00:58:01.06
there's American
and there's English.
00:58:01.36\00:58:03.87
You know, it's been three years
since we've been to a Spring
00:58:05.67\00:58:09.12
Camp Meeting, and I
have a reason for that.
00:58:09.22\00:58:13.26
We've been busy doing a new
production center in Australia.
00:58:13.46\00:58:16.92
And that's been an
exciting period of time
00:58:17.32\00:58:20.01
because we have watched
God work miracle after miracle.
00:58:20.22\00:58:24.30
And you know, I just
want to praise God today
00:58:24.50\00:58:27.07
that we've been able to
accomplish with His help...
00:58:27.37\00:58:30.64
it's not us, it's
His... with His help
00:58:30.84\00:58:32.84
a facility that I believe
will reach people all around
00:58:33.14\00:58:37.49
the world with the good
news that Jesus is coming soon
00:58:37.59\00:58:40.23
and we need to be ready.
00:58:40.33\00:58:41.39
Now before we tell you
a little bit about that
00:58:41.79\00:58:43.94
I'm going to ask Rosemary
just to talk to you about radio.
00:58:44.04\00:58:47.43
You see, radio is having
an impact all over the world.
00:58:47.57\00:58:50.13
We'll just share with you
for a moment what's happening
00:58:50.33\00:58:52.77
Down Under. This really
is as Jay Christian said
00:58:52.97\00:58:57.99
"3ABN Radio Camp Meeting. "
00:58:58.19\00:59:00.08
This morning we had a lot
of reports of people who have
00:59:00.97\00:59:04.28
been listening to the local
radio and who are now coming
00:59:04.38\00:59:08.02
into this church. But down
in Australia and New Zealand
00:59:08.12\00:59:11.36
there are a lot of radio
affiliates: local church members
00:59:11.57\00:59:15.93
and local churches
who have started their own
00:59:16.13\00:59:18.67
low power FM radio stations.
00:59:18.87\00:59:22.75
And 3ABN Australia has
a high-power AM station
00:59:22.85\00:59:26.60
as well. But I am amazed myself
00:59:26.80\00:59:30.39
with the number of reports
I receive of people who are
00:59:30.60\00:59:34.82
now coming into our
church through 3ABN Radio
00:59:35.02\00:59:38.39
being aired in
their local areas.
00:59:38.50\00:59:40.20
I know a lot of our affiliates
wonder "Is anybody listening?
00:59:40.50\00:59:44.55
Is this really worth the
money that it's costing us? "
00:59:44.95\00:59:49.06
And I would like to
really encourage anybody
00:59:49.36\00:59:53.53
who wants to get
involved to do so
00:59:53.73\00:59:55.18
because it is winning souls.
00:59:55.48\00:59:57.68
Let me tell you: up in
Papua, New Guinea, where Moses
00:59:57.88\01:00:00.69
Primo has been telling
you about there are a number
01:00:00.79\01:00:04.82
of radio stations.
They're just popping up
01:00:04.92\01:00:07.12
in the Torres Strait
Islands, in Papua, New Guinea.
01:00:07.32\01:00:10.32
One of the affiliates...
he's given his money and time
01:00:10.52\01:00:15.16
to put up radio
stations in Papua, New Guinea.
01:00:15.36\01:00:17.91
And they're solar
powered so that people there can
01:00:18.01\01:00:20.87
turn on their
radio and listen to 3ABN.
01:00:20.97\01:00:23.36
It's really interesting
to see how God is working.
01:00:24.13\01:00:26.81
And you know, right now
in that part of the world
01:00:27.11\01:00:29.46
it's 6 o'clock in the
morning or just after 6.
01:00:29.66\01:00:31.89
And we want to say
good morning to you
01:00:32.10\01:00:34.24
and please join in
with our Spring Camp Meeting
01:00:34.44\01:00:37.19
here in the US of A.
01:00:37.39\01:00:38.73
You know, I looked at
the back. I like the title.
01:00:39.23\01:00:42.21
It says Showers of Blessing.
01:00:42.41\01:00:43.77
Well I want to tell you
Down Under it's been raining
01:00:43.97\01:00:46.21
and God has really been
pouring out His blessings!
01:00:46.41\01:00:49.69
We were very privileged
to be involved in this work.
01:00:49.99\01:00:53.59
As missionaries from
overseas when we first saw 3ABN
01:00:53.79\01:00:57.80
we had no
intention of doing this work.
01:00:58.01\01:01:01.41
And I remember Danny Shelton
saying if he knew what was
01:01:01.61\01:01:04.76
required ahead maybe
he would think twice.
01:01:04.86\01:01:08.02
But I'm sure he wouldn't.
01:01:08.12\01:01:09.28
I know that as God works
in us, if we are His servants
01:01:09.38\01:01:13.31
and we walk forward
in faith God will use us.
01:01:13.51\01:01:16.24
It's not about
us... it's about God.
01:01:16.54\01:01:19.06
This Production Center
that we have in Australia
01:01:19.26\01:01:22.17
is God's Production Center.
01:01:22.47\01:01:24.45
We are His servants
and we have watched how
01:01:24.75\01:01:28.12
when we started initially
10 years ago our only aim
01:01:28.32\01:01:31.82
was to pay for the satellite
that viewers in Australia
01:01:32.02\01:01:35.18
and New Zealand and
Papua, New Guinea, would be able
01:01:35.38\01:01:38.93
to receive this signal. But
in 2000, 3ABN made the decision
01:01:39.03\01:01:44.38
to go onto a
satellite called Thaicom 3.
01:01:44.59\01:01:47.66
And for two years that
signal hovered over Australia
01:01:47.86\01:01:51.48
and over New
Zealand... or not, sorry...
01:01:51.68\01:01:53.97
over Australia only and India
and Africa and parts of Asia.
01:01:54.07\01:01:58.13
And we did not see that signal
until we came back from the
01:01:58.46\01:02:02.05
mission field and made
a decision to try and see
01:02:02.15\01:02:05.24
if we could get it. And we did.
01:02:05.34\01:02:07.20
And the ministry
grew. All we intended to do
01:02:07.44\01:02:10.42
was to plant satellite
dishes all around Australia.
01:02:10.62\01:02:13.83
And when we had completed
that people were saying: "Well
01:02:14.13\01:02:16.86
we can't get it. We
need to go on a small dish. "
01:02:17.06\01:02:19.65
And so Danny Shelton
asked us: Would we be able...
01:02:19.85\01:02:25.13
"Do you think that you would be
able to pay for the satellite? "
01:02:25.33\01:02:28.78
And it was through
Owen Troy we became involved
01:02:28.98\01:02:31.25
and we officially
started 3ABN Australia.
01:02:31.46\01:02:33.89
From there we've grown to
01:02:34.19\01:02:35.22
what we're going
to show you right now.
01:02:35.32\01:02:37.42
I'll ask for the
first slide please.
01:02:37.63\01:02:39.85
Here we bought a piece of land.
01:02:40.05\01:02:42.19
God led us to this piece
of land I want to tell you
01:02:42.40\01:02:44.82
and it's been
exciting to see what He did.
01:02:45.12\01:02:47.73
The pastor there said:
"We need to dedicate this land
01:02:47.93\01:02:50.64
to the Lord. " And I can
remember him as clear as day.
01:02:50.84\01:02:54.53
He turned around, put his
hand back there and he said:
01:02:54.73\01:02:57.69
"One day there's
going to be a building here
01:02:58.00\01:03:01.21
that will produce programs to
spread the gospel worldwide. "
01:03:01.41\01:03:06.02
Next side please. And today I
want to bring you this report:
01:03:06.32\01:03:10.40
that building is there.
And I'm excited to tell you
01:03:10.60\01:03:14.61
it's a miracle. We had a
number of hurdles to cross.
01:03:14.81\01:03:18.32
They never ceased for the whole
duration of that Production
01:03:18.52\01:03:23.04
Center, and I can
only say "Praise God. "
01:03:23.24\01:03:25.91
And I want to tell
you even more excitingly
01:03:25.94\01:03:28.60
this building has been
built and we are debt free.
01:03:28.80\01:03:33.61
Amen! And that's two hands
you want to raise to praise God
01:03:33.91\01:03:37.31
like Danny said. Amen!
01:03:37.51\01:03:40.01
And so as we go to
the next slide please
01:03:40.21\01:03:42.58
we were very, very
saddened first of all
01:03:42.78\01:03:46.24
because Danny
Shelton and Jim and Camille
01:03:46.44\01:03:49.64
and Moses and Adima
were all going to be there...
01:03:49.85\01:03:53.35
and Mollie and Hal, too.
It's an interesting story
01:03:53.45\01:03:57.19
because none of them
came. Moses and Adima were there
01:03:57.39\01:04:01.14
and I can remember hearing
one day a phone ring and Danny
01:04:01.34\01:04:04.50
was there saying: "John,
I've got some not-so-good news.
01:04:04.60\01:04:08.41
Jim Gilley and Camille
were ready to get on the plane
01:04:08.71\01:04:11.73
and they had some bad
news and they can't come. "
01:04:11.83\01:04:14.11
And I can remember telling
Danny "Well, Moses is here.
01:04:14.31\01:04:17.32
He'll have to sing like
you and he'll have to preach
01:04:17.62\01:04:21.11
like Jim Gilley. "
And we had a laugh.
01:04:21.21\01:04:24.03
But you know, praise
God, there are always people
01:04:24.16\01:04:26.99
that are ready and able to come.
01:04:27.19\01:04:29.65
And J.D. and Shelley Quinn
came and we had an incredible
01:04:29.85\01:04:33.51
inauguration. You want to
tell them a little bit about it
01:04:33.61\01:04:35.88
Rosie? I was going to
say that Shelley and J.D.
01:04:35.98\01:04:38.60
had two days' notice. I
called on a Monday afternoon;
01:04:38.70\01:04:41.97
they were on the
plane on Wednesday.
01:04:42.07\01:04:43.86
Because we only found
out in less than a week
01:04:44.26\01:04:46.81
that they couldn't make it.
So we had a wonderful program.
01:04:46.91\01:04:50.46
It was a real blessing.
Shelley preached on the Sabbath
01:04:50.76\01:04:53.94
at Avondale Memorial
Church and then we had the
01:04:54.14\01:04:57.33
dedication service
on the Sunday morning
01:04:57.53\01:05:00.01
so that it didn't interfere
with Sabbath activities.
01:05:00.31\01:05:03.53
And then after the program
at the church we had lunch.
01:05:03.83\01:05:07.49
And then at the building Moses
was the one who cut the ribbon
01:05:07.59\01:05:12.74
because Moses was very
much involved in that building.
01:05:12.94\01:05:18.46
In the things that went into it,
in the planning of the building,
01:05:18.66\01:05:21.53
the layout of the
flooring, what we needed in it.
01:05:21.66\01:05:24.42
And so we thought it was
fitting because Jim and Danny
01:05:24.55\01:05:27.74
weren't there that
Moses as the Director
01:05:27.84\01:05:30.89
of International Operations or
Development, that he be the one
01:05:30.99\01:05:35.02
to cut the ribbon. Could
we have that slide please?
01:05:35.12\01:05:37.62
We had over 350... 360
01:05:38.32\01:05:43.94
people come through the
doors of the building that day
01:05:44.04\01:05:47.59
to have a look. And we
were turning people away.
01:05:47.70\01:05:51.39
When we were so exhausted
we couldn't stay any longer
01:05:51.49\01:05:54.15
and wanted to leave
01:05:54.25\01:05:55.34
people were still coming
and John would have to say:
01:05:55.54\01:05:57.49
"Please come back
tomorrow during work hours.
01:05:57.69\01:05:59.87
We're going home. "
01:05:59.97\01:06:01.28
You can see some of the slides
there. That's the control room.
01:06:01.58\01:06:05.56
That's completed. This
is the audio control room.
01:06:05.86\01:06:09.33
That's completed. We
come to the next slide.
01:06:09.53\01:06:12.76
This is our interview
set you'll probably be seeing
01:06:12.86\01:06:15.80
on 3ABN or we hope you will.
01:06:16.00\01:06:18.15
We will interview
people. There will be 3ABN Now.
01:06:18.35\01:06:22.11
This is our green screen.
Could I just hold it there?
01:06:22.31\01:06:24.67
We are doing a program
now called Tangible Evidence.
01:06:24.98\01:06:29.11
You understand what that means?
You can touch the evidence.
01:06:29.31\01:06:32.62
We had Pastor David Down
01:06:32.86\01:06:35.71
who is the speaker for
Digging Up The Past series.
01:06:35.91\01:06:39.10
He brought some of
his artifacts in there.
01:06:39.30\01:06:42.16
In the first program we hold
a brick from the Tower of Babel,
01:06:42.26\01:06:45.85
an actual brick
from the Tower of Babel
01:06:46.05\01:06:48.18
4,100 years old
and we talk about it.
01:06:48.38\01:06:51.85
So that's a program we're doing.
01:06:52.05\01:06:53.69
You know, it's interesting
to see what God is doing.
01:06:53.89\01:06:57.38
We are hoping to
produce programs first of all
01:06:57.68\01:07:00.92
to complement what 3ABN do
01:07:01.02\01:07:03.06
but to be a program that
may be slightly different
01:07:03.26\01:07:08.23
in the sense that
we've been asking the Lord:
01:07:08.43\01:07:10.66
"What do You want us to do? "
01:07:10.76\01:07:12.06
You know, there's a
thousand things you can do,
01:07:12.16\01:07:14.09
but to get the right
one that God wants you to do
01:07:14.39\01:07:16.65
we want to do that
and seek His blessing.
01:07:16.85\01:07:19.38
So we want you to be
encouraged that in Australia
01:07:19.62\01:07:24.55
we are doing a work I
believe that God has blessed.
01:07:24.75\01:07:29.40
As far as I am concerned as
a Manager for 3ABN Australia
01:07:29.60\01:07:33.19
I want the blessing of God.
01:07:33.39\01:07:35.35
Because if you
have the blessing of God
01:07:35.55\01:07:37.56
you have got everything.
01:07:37.76\01:07:39.32
He will provide, and we
just need to be faithful to Him.
01:07:39.52\01:07:43.72
Thank you for the time
that we've been able to share,
01:07:43.92\01:07:46.54
and may God bless
each and every one of you.
01:07:46.74\01:07:48.99
Thank you John, Rosemary.
01:07:51.36\01:07:52.94
What a beautiful report!
01:07:53.24\01:07:55.17
And Camille and I so
much wanted to be with them
01:07:55.47\01:07:58.31
and so did Mollie and Hal.
01:07:58.51\01:08:00.15
Mollie and Hal had
the automobile accident
01:08:00.35\01:08:02.68
and Danny had a
problem that he had to can...
01:08:02.88\01:08:07.66
We all had tickets.
Camille and I had already
01:08:07.76\01:08:10.27
made it to Los Angeles
01:08:10.37\01:08:11.77
when I got word
that my brother had died.
01:08:11.97\01:08:14.69
And my sister-in-law
Evelina said: "Please go on. "
01:08:14.89\01:08:20.22
But I couldn't. All of my
children, my grandchildren...
01:08:20.53\01:08:24.60
we all came to be
by the family's side
01:08:24.80\01:08:28.80
as we buried my brother.
01:08:29.00\01:08:30.74
And he's a younger brother.
01:08:31.04\01:08:33.57
That... He was just so
close, we were just so close
01:08:33.77\01:08:38.95
to each other.
We grew up together.
01:08:39.15\01:08:40.52
In fact, we were so near
in age... We were only 4 years
01:08:40.72\01:08:43.65
apart, but he was big and
I was little in those days
01:08:43.75\01:08:47.17
and so people
thought we were twins.
01:08:47.21\01:08:48.86
And Mom would dress us alike.
01:08:49.26\01:08:51.66
And that didn't help
with the confusion either.
01:08:51.86\01:08:54.60
Well listen, we've
got a great report, Roy.
01:08:54.90\01:08:58.75
The Lord has been
blessing! This is Roy Hunt.
01:08:58.95\01:09:02.47
He is head of our Trust
Dept. and Earlenne his wife
01:09:02.67\01:09:07.35
stands with him. And I'm
going to let you introduce
01:09:07.45\01:09:10.74
this beautiful lady.
We've seen her on television.
01:09:10.94\01:09:13.84
We have. Now
you're spoiling it, Jim.
01:09:14.04\01:09:16.25
OK. This was
supposed to be a quiz.
01:09:16.45\01:09:19.48
That's student's prerogative...
he's the President.
01:09:20.74\01:09:24.02
Good afternoon everyone. I feel
like I know each one of you.
01:09:24.32\01:09:28.38
I shook many of your
hands coming through the door
01:09:28.59\01:09:31.13
and we've seen some
of you in our seminars.
01:09:31.43\01:09:34.52
And we love the
attitude of each one of you.
01:09:34.82\01:09:39.93
You've come with a
spirit of God to visit 3ABN
01:09:40.23\01:09:44.24
and to attend
3ABN's Camp Meeting
01:09:44.45\01:09:47.69
and to gain a spiritual
blessing while you're here.
01:09:47.89\01:09:50.69
We've been here about 3 years
now... a little over 3 years.
01:09:51.19\01:09:56.89
We're not the new
kids on the block any more.
01:09:56.92\01:09:59.31
We started the department
here in Thompsonville -
01:10:00.42\01:10:05.14
West Frankfort area - and we're
actually here on the campus
01:10:05.34\01:10:08.93
of 3ABN.
01:10:09.13\01:10:11.27
Some people are
still a little confused
01:10:11.37\01:10:13.39
as to where our office is.
01:10:13.49\01:10:15.11
We have one office, and it's
right here in West Frankfort,
01:10:15.51\01:10:19.67
Illinois. Our office in
California ceased to function
01:10:19.87\01:10:24.37
about a year and a half ago
01:10:24.57\01:10:26.28
but we still make it out
to visit our friends on the
01:10:26.49\01:10:29.36
West Coast. We
visit on the East Coast
01:10:29.46\01:10:32.04
and we visit everyone in
between as much as we can.
01:10:32.14\01:10:35.51
Earlenne and I have had
the pleasure of meeting people
01:10:35.94\01:10:39.21
in their homes and
in their businesses
01:10:39.31\01:10:41.36
and they're so
responsive. 3ABN is blessed
01:10:41.76\01:10:44.96
to have so many
responsive viewers.
01:10:45.26\01:10:48.21
When we go on the television
network and talk about trusts
01:10:48.51\01:10:53.19
immediately our
phones start ringing
01:10:53.49\01:10:56.00
so we know the
message is getting out there
01:10:56.40\01:10:59.10
about our trusts.
01:10:59.20\01:11:00.60
And we do things from annuities,
cash trusts, charitable gift
01:11:01.00\01:11:06.94
remainder unitrust, a host
of several different documents
01:11:07.15\01:11:12.17
that can benefit
Three Angels Broadcasting.
01:11:12.37\01:11:15.79
So many people ask us,
you know: "Why is it necessary
01:11:16.74\01:11:20.22
to do something now when
3ABN won't receive anything
01:11:20.33\01:11:24.75
until we pass away? "
01:11:24.85\01:11:26.35
And we say: "We
plan for the future. "
01:11:26.76\01:11:29.27
We're not out there...
So many people think we're
01:11:29.87\01:11:32.60
out to grab your money. We
just want a little bit of it.
01:11:32.70\01:11:36.15
We know that the Lord's
work needs to go forward,
01:11:38.97\01:11:41.78
and the only way that's going
to happen is by the dollars
01:11:41.88\01:11:44.44
that come in to this network.
01:11:44.54\01:11:46.03
And it's from our viewers
like you that make it happen.
01:11:46.43\01:11:49.82
And so many of our major trusts
01:11:50.32\01:11:54.91
happen just when
3ABN needs the money.
01:11:55.11\01:11:58.92
The good Lord knows when
this ministry needs the money,
01:11:59.12\01:12:02.45
and at the time it
comes in it's just right.
01:12:02.65\01:12:06.12
We need it on a daily basis.
01:12:07.01\01:12:10.11
We have started
something since we've been here.
01:12:10.51\01:12:14.16
We used to do and
still do on occasion
01:12:14.47\01:12:17.32
an hour-long program.
01:12:17.52\01:12:19.40
But as many of you have seen
01:12:19.70\01:12:22.42
we are doing
spots... commercials.
01:12:22.45\01:12:25.88
I say commercial very lightly
because they're informational
01:12:25.98\01:12:28.80
spots to inform you of
what the different documents are
01:12:28.90\01:12:34.44
that we do offer.
01:12:34.65\01:12:37.31
Now I have a lady
with me standing right here
01:12:37.71\01:12:40.74
and I want to ask her: "Iris,
what is your favorite line? "
01:12:41.14\01:12:46.06
I'm 94 and I earn 9%.
01:12:47.43\01:12:53.40
How many have
heard that commercial?
01:12:54.29\01:12:56.52
This is the lady - Iris
Montgomery - that does that.
01:12:57.46\01:13:02.06
And you'd be amazed how
many phone calls come in
01:13:02.29\01:13:06.12
immediately after
people hear that one line.
01:13:06.22\01:13:08.48
They don't hear anything I say.
01:13:08.68\01:13:10.46
They don't hear
anything Earlenne says.
01:13:10.66\01:13:12.26
But when Iris
says: "I'm 94 years old
01:13:12.56\01:13:15.81
and I earn 9%" they take action
01:13:16.01\01:13:18.74
because they want a
piece of that action.
01:13:19.04\01:13:20.84
Iris, what church do you go to?
01:13:21.14\01:13:23.18
I go to the Du Quoin
Seventh-day Adventist church.
01:13:23.48\01:13:27.08
And Du Quoin is just
about 35 or 40 miles from here.
01:13:27.48\01:13:31.95
And how'd you get here today?
01:13:32.06\01:13:33.33
I drove.
01:13:33.63\01:13:35.39
She drove.
01:13:35.59\01:13:37.31
Iris is very
active in her church,
01:13:41.80\01:13:44.32
and she stays active and
that's what makes her so young.
01:13:44.72\01:13:48.93
She absolutely is unstoppable.
01:13:50.03\01:13:54.00
You know, she goes where
the church needs her to go.
01:13:54.40\01:13:57.68
She has a brother that's 98.
01:13:58.08\01:14:01.58
Until just recently
- he's ill right now
01:14:01.88\01:14:05.73
I understand, so we
want to pray for him.
01:14:05.93\01:14:07.47
He goes to church on Sunday
01:14:07.77\01:14:10.75
so Iris drives him to
church and then brings him home
01:14:11.05\01:14:15.62
for dinner. She's been
doing that for how many years?
01:14:15.82\01:14:19.05
Oh, a couple... just a couple.
01:14:19.35\01:14:21.92
Just a couple. But this
is the amazing part of Iris.
01:14:22.12\01:14:25.87
There's so many people like
Iris out in our viewing audience
01:14:26.27\01:14:31.24
that want to do
something for the Lord.
01:14:31.54\01:14:33.85
She has a very... very good
01:14:34.86\01:14:39.06
spiritual walk with our Lord.
01:14:39.36\01:14:41.71
She wants 3ABN to see
that the ministry of this
01:14:41.91\01:14:45.75
network is carried out.
01:14:45.95\01:14:47.72
And she's one of
our faithful annuitants.
01:14:47.92\01:14:51.60
That's an awful word but
it's good to us because we know
01:14:51.63\01:14:55.83
that she has an annuity
and it's working for her
01:14:55.93\01:14:59.07
and it's working for us.
01:14:59.27\01:15:01.09
Is there anything
that you would like to add?
01:15:02.37\01:15:04.86
I told her I wouldn't embarrass
her or anything like that
01:15:04.96\01:15:07.16
so if she doesn't want
to say anything that's fine.
01:15:07.26\01:15:09.28
But do you have any words
that you would like to give
01:15:09.38\01:15:11.44
our audience? Well I just felt
like I wanted to do something
01:15:11.54\01:15:16.42
for the Lord.
There's not much I can do.
01:15:16.62\01:15:19.99
I had a little bit of money
01:15:20.19\01:15:22.04
and I thought: "I want to
put that where it will work
01:15:22.24\01:15:26.02
for the Lord. " So
3ABN has my little bit.
01:15:26.22\01:15:31.72
And we appreciate that so much.
01:15:32.12\01:15:34.47
You know, it's the widow's mite;
01:15:34.57\01:15:36.82
it's the person
that has a lot of money;
01:15:37.02\01:15:40.16
it's all of us
together that make 3ABN.
01:15:40.36\01:15:44.27
And even though you don't
think you have a lot of money
01:15:44.57\01:15:47.25
to invest, you'd be surprised
what a little bit of money
01:15:47.45\01:15:50.10
will do for you and for 3ABN.
01:15:50.20\01:15:52.45
So give us a call.
01:15:52.76\01:15:54.13
You can call us
during normal working hours
01:15:54.43\01:15:57.70
and we'll talk to you. You
may not think you have anything
01:15:57.90\01:16:00.67
that you can do but by the time
we get through talking with you
01:16:00.87\01:16:03.82
the light bulbs'll go on.
01:16:04.22\01:16:07.04
And I want to say we
do not pressure people.
01:16:07.44\01:16:10.46
If you call, we're
not going to hound you.
01:16:10.76\01:16:13.32
We're not going to
run after you and say:
01:16:13.53\01:16:15.44
"Hey, why didn't
you do something with us
01:16:15.54\01:16:16.81
from that telephone call? "
01:16:16.91\01:16:19.12
We want you to know that.
01:16:19.32\01:16:22.49
Iris wants to
take the microphone.
01:16:22.69\01:16:25.14
Oh, all right.
01:16:25.45\01:16:26.91
I just want to add
to what you were saying
01:16:27.21\01:16:30.06
that you do not pressure.
01:16:30.36\01:16:33.48
And I am so happy with
the help of these two people
01:16:33.68\01:16:37.73
that have encouraged me
and led me to make the decision
01:16:38.03\01:16:43.49
that I did to do
what little I could
01:16:43.59\01:16:46.75
for 3ABN.
01:16:46.95\01:16:49.08
Thank you, Iris... and
she said it all right there.
01:16:49.28\01:16:52.42
Earlenne is my wife.
She is also a trust officer
01:16:53.40\01:16:57.12
and our office manager
and she has a few words
01:16:57.32\01:17:00.32
she'd like to
give at this point.
01:17:00.52\01:17:03.10
I'd like to say that
probably most of you don't
01:17:04.02\01:17:07.60
know back when you started
being educated for financial.
01:17:07.70\01:17:11.50
As I thought back about it
I realized that when we sing
01:17:12.77\01:17:16.38
"This little light of mine"
and we're training our children
01:17:16.58\01:17:19.12
up to sing "This
little light of mine...
01:17:19.22\01:17:20.71
I'm going to let it shine, "
01:17:20.91\01:17:22.78
that that's not
just your religion.
01:17:22.88\01:17:26.72
It's because of that
that you are ready to donate.
01:17:27.02\01:17:31.08
From the time you're
little you're realizing
01:17:31.58\01:17:34.15
"Hide it under a bushel? No! "
01:17:34.35\01:17:36.43
Please tell others about
how you're supporting 3ABN.
01:17:37.15\01:17:41.02
Please let them know
that they can call us
01:17:41.22\01:17:44.50
and that we are
willing to help them.
01:17:44.70\01:17:46.56
We have a lot of
different ministries
01:17:47.06\01:17:51.33
that are being
supported not just only 3ABN.
01:17:51.53\01:17:55.08
Now you're wondering
"What does that mean? "
01:17:55.38\01:17:57.33
Well, we set it up so that
your personal needs are met
01:17:57.63\01:18:01.74
like having a nice interest.
01:18:02.04\01:18:04.50
Some of you have
decided to split that interest
01:18:04.80\01:18:07.07
and give half of it
every month as a gift to 3ABN.
01:18:07.27\01:18:11.15
I want to
personally thank our viewers
01:18:11.45\01:18:13.47
and those here at Camp
Meeting for doing that.
01:18:13.67\01:18:16.27
Those dollars do
make a difference.
01:18:16.57\01:18:18.70
We'd also like to thank those
who have asked us every month
01:18:19.01\01:18:22.52
to take that interest check
and put it back to their own
01:18:22.72\01:18:26.62
church so that they can
do things like broadcast...
01:18:26.83\01:18:30.34
broadcast 3ABN.
01:18:30.54\01:18:32.19
They are supporting
in yet a different way.
01:18:32.49\01:18:35.02
We also have people who
have said: "Will you please
01:18:35.42\01:18:38.30
take my interest
and support my children
01:18:38.60\01:18:41.66
in Christian education? "
01:18:41.87\01:18:44.03
What a fantastic thing
to do with your interest.
01:18:44.33\01:18:47.90
And like I said we
have the monthly supporters
01:18:48.69\01:18:52.00
and then there are those
of you who said: "I want to
01:18:52.20\01:18:54.86
accrue the money that I
am getting in my interest
01:18:55.06\01:18:58.10
back into my account
so that when I pass away
01:18:58.30\01:19:01.80
I have more to give to 3ABN
01:19:02.00\01:19:04.90
but above all to
the Lord's work. "
01:19:05.10\01:19:07.72
Thank you everyone. We
are so glad you came here.
01:19:07.92\01:19:10.77
And to our viewing
audience we thank you also.
01:19:10.97\01:19:14.03
Thank you.
01:19:14.33\01:19:15.80
Amen. And we want to
thank you for all that you do.
01:19:19.23\01:19:21.82
Did you enjoy that report? Amen!
01:19:22.42\01:19:25.73
Always encouraging to hear
from our Trust Services Dept.
01:19:25.97\01:19:28.75
Well some years ago we -
in our effort to minister
01:19:29.05\01:19:34.28
to everybody - we had
determined that we needed
01:19:34.38\01:19:38.37
a network... not a network...
a channel for our children.
01:19:38.47\01:19:42.07
And what we did was
we launched a channel
01:19:42.31\01:19:46.82
to the Internet, and the name
of the channel was the SonBeam
01:19:47.02\01:19:49.65
Channel, and it was
just for our children.
01:19:49.75\01:19:51.96
And what we were doing
was using programming that
01:19:52.26\01:19:54.77
was locally produced
from our Kid's Time programs
01:19:54.97\01:19:58.03
and so forth. And it has
been running all of this time
01:19:58.13\01:20:02.77
on the Internet. But we feel
like we need to have a channel
01:20:02.97\01:20:06.68
that we can shoot to
satellite just like we do our
01:20:06.88\01:20:09.93
English-speaking channel and
our Spanish-speaking channel.
01:20:10.03\01:20:13.75
All of these different
ch... Because our children
01:20:13.95\01:20:16.55
need to be reached with the
gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ.
01:20:16.75\01:20:19.95
So we looked at
the ministry of 3ABN
01:20:20.35\01:20:23.76
and we wondered: "Now who
would be the most qualified
01:20:24.06\01:20:27.53
to head up a children's
network here at 3ABN? "
01:20:27.73\01:20:31.48
Who do you
suppose that would be?
01:20:31.68\01:20:33.22
Brenda. Miss
Brenda... of course!
01:20:33.43\01:20:35.55
And so we have Danny
here to tell us some of the
01:20:35.75\01:20:38.68
aspects of launching a
brand-new children's network
01:20:38.88\01:20:41.89
here at 3ABN.
01:20:42.09\01:20:43.40
I'm not Miss Brenda
but I'll give it a shot.
01:20:43.70\01:20:45.55
She couldn't be
here, but this woman...
01:20:46.15\01:20:48.81
I tell you what: she can
convince you to do anything.
01:20:48.91\01:20:51.61
I'm amazed how
she can get people
01:20:51.81\01:20:54.40
to come from half way
around the world and volunteer.
01:20:54.60\01:20:57.68
And when anybody talks about
"Well it costs such and such"
01:20:57.91\01:21:01.23
she says: "I've been a
volunteer for 12 years...
01:21:01.43\01:21:03.31
I've never gotten a penny. "
01:21:03.51\01:21:04.74
So it ends up you feel
like you don't love Jesus
01:21:05.04\01:21:07.58
if you don't do
what she wants you to do.
01:21:07.78\01:21:09.42
So you pretty well
just go ahead and do it.
01:21:09.72\01:21:11.52
But boy, does she
get a lot accomplished.
01:21:11.73\01:21:13.75
And the Walshes... I should
say the Micheff sisters...
01:21:14.05\01:21:17.56
they're what I
call "finishers. " Yeah.
01:21:17.86\01:21:19.75
When they start something
they finish it. That's right.
01:21:19.85\01:21:21.87
And they're absolut...
They get that from Dad and Mom
01:21:21.97\01:21:23.96
Micheff. I've
known them all my life.
01:21:24.07\01:21:25.38
These are incredible
people. But Brenda...
01:21:25.58\01:21:27.56
After much prayer we asked her
01:21:27.76\01:21:29.85
if she would be willing to
basically build a children's
01:21:30.05\01:21:32.93
network. That means a
new studio, so we're looking
01:21:33.03\01:21:35.41
in Chattanooga area.
I've been looking at property;
01:21:35.52\01:21:38.39
looking at buildings
to see if we can literally
01:21:38.59\01:21:40.76
start because there's so
many more people to pull from
01:21:40.87\01:21:46.04
than in this are because of
Southern Adventist University,
01:21:46.24\01:21:49.39
the academy and all the schools.
01:21:49.59\01:21:50.95
And they live down
there. Brenda and her husband
01:21:51.15\01:21:53.70
live right in that area.
01:21:53.80\01:21:55.77
So she's agreed to do that.
01:21:55.87\01:21:57.93
So this won't be
just... This is new programming,
01:21:58.13\01:22:01.35
not just programming
we're picking as Mollie said
01:22:01.56\01:22:04.27
from the past. But
this is a HUGE undertaking.
01:22:04.47\01:22:07.58
It's just like
Dare to Dream or Latino.
01:22:07.68\01:22:09.90
We want to get this on satellite
that cable stations can get it
01:22:10.10\01:22:14.27
literally all around the
world. And I don't know anybody
01:22:14.37\01:22:17.15
who could do this the
way Brenda Walsh can do it
01:22:17.36\01:22:21.64
and the way she already works.
01:22:21.74\01:22:23.09
This woman works day and
night. When she went to Russia
01:22:23.19\01:22:26.21
she helped Julia... she
and the two Micheff sisters.
01:22:26.41\01:22:29.01
You've seen them.
They're about this tall, right?
01:22:29.11\01:22:31.32
And that's with high heels on.
01:22:31.55\01:22:32.95
They're this tall.
They went to Russia
01:22:33.15\01:22:35.58
and they helped build the
front of our facility there -
01:22:35.78\01:22:38.36
the church - to
rebuild it, to re-decorate it.
01:22:38.46\01:22:40.68
We have a Russian crew there.
01:22:41.09\01:22:43.16
There was about I
think 10 or 12 Russian men
01:22:43.36\01:22:46.08
that helped them. They finally
came to Julia and they said:
01:22:46.29\01:22:49.04
"We'll have to have 2 shifts. "
01:22:49.24\01:22:51.17
She said: "Why? " "We can't keep
up with the Micheff sisters. "
01:22:51.37\01:22:54.38
Right, Julia?
Julia is sitting there.
01:22:54.58\01:22:56.92
And they were
working like 20 hours a day.
01:22:57.22\01:23:01.13
Julia's like: "You Russian men
01:23:01.33\01:23:03.39
can't keep up with
those little American women? "
01:23:03.49\01:23:05.44
And they're
basically: "No, those women work
01:23:05.64\01:23:07.65
day and night. " So we
know that this is in good hands,
01:23:07.75\01:23:10.74
that God will bless. We
want you to pray about that.
01:23:10.94\01:23:13.04
And any offerings that you have
01:23:13.34\01:23:14.93
if you have a burden for
children, you can just send that
01:23:15.03\01:23:17.69
and put
Children's Network on it.
01:23:17.79\01:23:19.92
And we're still... The
name? I think it's still
01:23:20.12\01:23:23.05
going or has she
settled on? We're calling it
01:23:23.15\01:23:25.39
the 3ABN Children's Network
waiting for Brenda to give us
01:23:25.50\01:23:28.75
a name. She's been talking
about just Kid's Time Network
01:23:28.85\01:23:31.71
lately too, so
maybe that will happen.
01:23:31.91\01:23:34.30
Whatever she wants suits us.
01:23:34.60\01:23:36.61
And we are excited about it.
01:23:36.81\01:23:38.94
You know, we are
producing so many new programs
01:23:39.14\01:23:41.89
with new
networks. With Dare to Dream
01:23:41.99\01:23:44.43
you heard all the new
programs they're producing.
01:23:44.53\01:23:47.39
And Latino is continuing
to just multiply the number
01:23:47.69\01:23:52.34
of programs they're
doing as well as 3ABN English.
01:23:52.44\01:23:55.62
We are increasing the number
of programs we're doing here.
01:23:55.92\01:24:00.24
Our studios are maxed out.
01:24:00.44\01:24:02.97
We need more
personnel, we need more cameras,
01:24:03.17\01:24:06.01
we need more equipment.
And so we said: "We cannot
01:24:06.21\01:24:09.97
do our kids network here
and do a 24/7 kids network
01:24:10.07\01:24:14.79
because that's a lot more
programming. That's not just
01:24:14.99\01:24:17.95
an hour a day or
something like that.
01:24:18.05\01:24:20.53
That is 24/7, and so
we began to pray about it
01:24:20.73\01:24:24.44
and the idea came
"Why not have a network
01:24:24.64\01:24:28.60
there where the people
are available? " As Danny has
01:24:28.80\01:24:31.75
said, the talent is there...
plus Brenda lives right there
01:24:31.85\01:24:37.62
and her sister just up
the road, the little sister.
01:24:37.82\01:24:41.33
Yeah, right... Cinda. OK.
01:24:41.63\01:24:43.67
And so they... We are
excited about the possibilities.
01:24:43.87\01:24:49.04
We're not moving
ahead of the Lord.
01:24:49.24\01:24:50.94
The Lord, we
believe, gave us the idea.
01:24:51.14\01:24:53.29
We're waiting for Him
now to give us the means
01:24:53.39\01:24:56.08
to do that, but we
believe that God is in this plan
01:24:56.28\01:25:00.66
because the three angels'
message is not just for adults.
01:25:00.86\01:25:04.36
It's for children. Yes.
And when you can give it to
01:25:05.36\01:25:08.45
children early and those
children's lives can be changed
01:25:08.55\01:25:13.21
while they're young, they
will avoid a lot of the pitfalls
01:25:13.41\01:25:18.03
that comes to a lot
of adult individuals.
01:25:18.23\01:25:21.22
Absolutely. For the last...
I'm going to switch subjects
01:25:21.42\01:25:24.40
on account of the time -
all right - for just a moment.
01:25:24.50\01:25:26.27
For about the last year
or longer we've been working
01:25:26.47\01:25:29.50
on something we've been talking
about all through Camp Meeting:
01:25:29.60\01:25:32.08
new highways. Now Jim won't
let me tell you everything,
01:25:32.28\01:25:35.22
but Mollie and Jim and I
and Brian and Moses: we've been
01:25:35.42\01:25:38.96
working with an
organization - with a company -
01:25:39.06\01:25:41.30
that all I want to say is
that in the future, in the near
01:25:41.50\01:25:44.42
future, what we're working on...
And Lord willing, we've been
01:25:44.52\01:25:47.12
doing this... we'll share
it with you a little more...
01:25:47.22\01:25:48.91
that people walking... whether
you're driving down the road
01:25:49.12\01:25:52.30
you can just go
to your cell phone
01:25:52.60\01:25:55.21
and watch 3ABN. Anywhere
in America you could watch it.
01:25:55.41\01:25:58.59
If you have an IPad somewhere,
you can watch it any time
01:25:58.89\01:26:01.60
you want to. It's broadband
that you don't need high-speed
01:26:01.70\01:26:05.01
Internet. And so right now, most
places you need the Internet.
01:26:05.11\01:26:08.71
But broadband is one of
the new... it's literally
01:26:08.91\01:26:11.87
new technology that's
being put together right now
01:26:11.97\01:26:14.69
by an organization, and
we're going to be in on that.
01:26:14.80\01:26:17.02
We're right there, and
that's one of the most exciting
01:26:17.22\01:26:19.65
things in the world because
potentially millions more people
01:26:19.75\01:26:23.08
can watch and the
younger generation for sure.
01:26:23.18\01:26:26.44
They don't even want to go
home and plug in the television,
01:26:26.64\01:26:28.36
right? Jim, you got a
call already today. We did.
01:26:28.46\01:26:31.36
We got a call from Bill
Einhellig, one of our viewers.
01:26:31.47\01:26:34.22
He was sitting with his IPad
01:26:34.52\01:26:36.63
but he had to stop
and sit in the parking lot
01:26:36.83\01:26:41.07
of a McDonalds in order to
watch today's church service
01:26:41.10\01:26:44.66
up in Colorado. And
he's out on the road
01:26:44.76\01:26:48.53
on a trip, but he had to
pull up to get some Internet.
01:26:48.73\01:26:52.11
He was borrowing their Internet
01:26:52.31\01:26:54.07
so that he could
watch our program from here.
01:26:54.27\01:26:57.20
When broadband comes we
won't need that Internet
01:26:57.30\01:26:59.59
so hopefully driving down
the road... He can keep driving!
01:26:59.69\01:27:01.84
and watch 3ABN.
Hopefully not the driver... No!
01:27:01.94\01:27:05.21
but somebody in the vehicle.
01:27:05.41\01:27:07.56
We may have to make that
off limits 'cause they may get
01:27:07.76\01:27:10.19
so excited in that they do a
two-hander praising the Lord.
01:27:10.29\01:27:12.97
That could be
dangerous. That's right.
01:27:13.17\01:27:15.34
So what we hope happened
this afternoon was you got
01:27:15.47\01:27:18.33
a grasp - an understanding -
01:27:18.43\01:27:20.21
of the length and breadth
and depth of this ministry.
01:27:20.42\01:27:22.92
That we are reaching out to
the whole world with the gospel
01:27:23.02\01:27:25.93
of the Lord Jesus Christ.
And we'll be back for more
01:27:26.03\01:27:29.23
in what... about an hour
or two? Uh-huh. We'll be back.
01:27:29.44\01:27:32.96
