00:24 Welcome to 3ABN's Fall Camp Meeting,
00:28 Homecoming 2016... 00:33 featuring inspired messages from your 3ABN Family... 00:41 along with uplifting Christian music, 00:44 all to prepare your heart for the coming of the Lord. 00:50 Good afternoon and welcome to 3ABN Camp Meeting, 00:54 Homecoming 2016. 00:57 And today has been a wonderful Sabbath day. 01:01 And if you missed the Sabbath school and the worship service, 01:07 in the words of a good friend of mine, 01:09 I feel sorry for you... 01:13 because we have had a blessed time in the Lord. 01:17 This afternoon, we've got some reports, 01:19 we've got some more fun stuff to be involved in, 01:21 and first, we're gonna have a quick word of prayer, 01:24 and then... I don't like that, a quick word of prayer. 01:27 One should not have a quick word of prayer, 01:29 we are going to pray 01:31 and then we're gonna move into our program 01:33 because we've got a lot to put in to this next hour. 01:38 You see behind me NAPS, 01:39 they have been here all of the camp meeting 01:41 and working with our young people 01:43 and we'd also like to give reports 01:45 from this very, very fine group. 01:47 Darla, come stand close to me if you will. 01:49 Thank you. Shall we pray? 01:51 Father God, how we praise You and thank You 01:54 for a wonderful Sabbath day, 01:58 we thank You, Father, 01:59 for the call that brought all of us, 02:00 each of us from darkness to light, 02:02 from air to truth. 02:04 And we thank You for the joy that we have of Your presence 02:07 as we seek to serve you and to lift up the mighty 02:10 and matches name of Jesus. 02:12 Blessing our sitting just now that through the next hour, 02:15 we shall be informed and inspired to know that 02:19 when we serve You, 02:20 success is guaranteed 02:23 because we serve a God who can do anything but fail. 02:27 And we thank You, Dear Father, in Jesus name. 02:29 Amen. 02:31 I'm gonna turn the microphone over to Darla 02:32 and our young people from NAPS 02:34 and for the next several moments, 02:35 the stage is yours. 02:36 Thank you. 02:38 Happy Sabbath, everybody. 02:40 Happy Sabbath! 02:41 Well, first of all, I want to explain 02:44 because some people may not know back at home 02:47 or you may be here, 02:48 you may not know what NAPS is. 02:50 NAPS is the National Association 02:53 for the Prevention of Starvation. 02:56 We are a group of young youth missionaries 02:59 that travel all around the world 03:01 doing what Jesus did while He was here. 03:04 And today, we cannot tell you all that God is doing 03:08 and all that He is using you to do. 03:12 But we can give you just a taste of the testimonies 03:16 that God has been using to change our lives 03:19 and change many others. 03:20 And so, we first want to start with talking to you 03:24 a little bit, kind of a thank you. 03:27 3ABN, you are our family, from the viewers, 03:32 from the adminis... 03:34 I guess the staff and the people in charge, 03:38 and 3ABN, all the volunteers that are here, 03:41 you are part of our family. 03:43 And right now, you may not know this, 03:46 but last spring camp meeting, 03:49 we pulled up into the camp meeting 03:51 and we had some trailers that were in need of repair. 03:55 Our trailers were in such a condition 03:58 because NAPS travels all around the country. 04:01 About a year or so ago, we were given vans 04:04 and already they have over 60,000 miles on them, 04:07 so when it comes to ministry, 04:09 we're moving all over the globe. 04:11 But this past, this past spring camp meeting, 04:16 3ABN blessed us with not just one new trailer 04:19 but actually two, 04:21 and this was a blessing because our trailers, 04:24 before we'd Great Controversies and Steps to Christ 04:27 that we are gonna distribute. 04:29 But sometimes they would get wet, 04:31 so we wanted to say a special thank you, 04:33 3ABN, just for this situation. 04:36 And it also has helped 04:39 with the missions that we are going forward in this year. 04:42 And as we, as we kids are gonna tell 04:44 a little bit about some of the missions 04:46 that we have going on. 04:47 Currently, there is the team 04:49 and they are in Seattle, Washington, 04:51 before that they were in Colorado 04:53 and they were able to go with their new trailers 04:56 packed with books and a willing spirit 04:58 and they have been able to spread the love of God 05:01 towards the West Coast. 05:02 So for example, in one week this, 05:04 the team did four school presentations, 05:06 a juvenile detention center, 05:08 they sang at one of the Adventist hospitals, 05:10 basically just spread the love of God. 05:12 And for the duration of the year, 05:13 they will be in places including Sacramento, 05:16 Southern California, Las Vegas, Phoenix, 05:18 the list just goes on. 05:20 But NAPS doesn't just minister here in the states. 05:24 We actually, three days after we are here at 3ABN last time, 05:29 we traveled to a country called Haiti. 05:32 And this is beautiful 05:34 'cause this is where it was 05:35 one of the international missions 05:37 that NAPS started with. 05:39 And when we arrived, 05:40 we were greeted with our, 05:43 some of the children that we had worked with years ago, 05:47 they were four and five years old, 05:49 they're actually now our NAPS branch leaders. 05:52 So the children's program that we do here 05:55 and around the world, 05:56 it's not just about inspiring ministry for today, 06:00 it's going to inspire ministry for eternity. 06:02 And so when we went to Haiti, 06:06 we were not quite prepared for what we saw. 06:09 I remember, the rural mountain area where we worked in, 06:13 there were so many people, hundreds of people 06:17 who were without medical care, no hospitals, no clinics. 06:21 And so our team was able to go in and make a difference, 06:24 we had dentists that came with us 06:27 and they were able to treat many who had pains, 06:30 you know, that they have been living with, 06:32 and dealing with, 06:34 but it didn't stop there, we also had doctors. 06:37 Now with the doctor, the physician group that came, 06:42 they were able to treat many of the people. 06:45 They didn't know what they were going through, 06:47 and one story that touched me was a lady that we visited. 06:51 When we visited, her daughter 06:53 was at the house in the little hut, 06:55 and when we started talking to her, 06:57 she said, "My mother is in the house." 07:00 So we turned and we looked in the house, 07:02 there was a little door 07:04 and I saw what looked like a living skeleton. 07:09 The mother, she was crouched down 07:11 and you can see in the picture, she said she hasn't, 07:15 she hadn't been able to hold down any food 07:18 and she was too fragile to make it to a hospital, 07:22 in two weeks they said she would die 07:24 if she didn't receive care. 07:28 And so she pretty much was waiting 07:30 just to breathe her last breath. 07:32 And so, being able to go 07:33 and make a difference in her life, 07:35 it touched me. 07:37 But as we gave medical care, 07:39 we also did children's programs, 07:42 there were so many children who did not know that 07:44 they had a father who loved them, 07:46 and maybe because they were taught about voodoo worship 07:49 or different things, 07:50 so being able to teach them these things, 07:52 the children were so receiving 07:54 that they took it to their families, 07:57 so they started telling their parents 07:59 and parents would come to the programs 08:01 and receive Bible studies. 08:03 And after that, many also during the Bible studies, 08:07 they decided they wanted to give their life to Christ, 08:09 and many were baptized as well. 08:12 And so we're so grateful for that. 08:15 And after we left, see, when NAPS works in a place, 08:19 we try to encourage the youth to also do the same. 08:22 And as we left, we left sad, 08:25 but there was a group of youth missionaries 08:28 that we left who are continuing the work in Haiti, 08:31 and so this has really been a blessing. 08:38 And even as we have been able to minister in Haiti, 08:41 and we've seen God do so much, 08:43 many of the conditions that we see in Haiti, 08:46 we also surprisingly find in the States. 08:48 And so, we have found that 08:50 God has a special mission for us, 08:52 even right here at home. 08:54 And where we're working right now in Sumter County, 08:56 we find that it is the second poorest county in Alabama, 09:00 the 10th poorest county in the entire United States. 09:04 But we have a special mission at the wellness centre 09:06 that we have been working on. 09:08 Yes, and as Janice was saying, 09:11 the county, Sumter County that we're working in 09:13 is one of the poorest in the nation. 09:15 And one of the ways that we are able to see that 09:17 most drastically is in the quality 09:20 of the healthcare systems in the area. 09:22 And I personally was 09:24 in a situation where we were dealing with a client 09:27 who was at home, 09:28 dealing with symptoms of a heart attack, 09:31 and they called the clinic in order to get help. 09:34 And we called the ambulance 09:35 and I was on hold for 30 minutes 09:37 before they were even able to get the address 09:39 to go and see about the individual 09:41 that was suffering from a heart attack. 09:43 And these are the areas that we are working in 09:47 where the nearest hospital is 30 minutes away 09:49 and when you get there, the doctors, the nurses 09:52 sometimes they have to purchase on their own 09:54 and bring with them the supplies 09:55 that they use to provide care 09:57 because that's how poor the systems are in these areas. 10:00 And so these are the areas that we are working in 10:02 and these are the people 10:03 that we have a mission to reach out to. 10:06 Yes, and at the wellness center, 10:08 the patients that we see, they receive so much care. 10:11 They're able to have hydrotherapy treatments, 10:14 they have a personal lifestyle counselor, 10:17 they do detox treatments, health lectures, 10:19 exercise courses, 10:21 we even have herbal drink that we give at the center, 10:24 which, for many patients, 10:25 ends up reducing their blood pressure 10:27 for maybe even stage two back to normal, all right. 10:30 Or even, their blood sugar reducing that as well, 10:33 even I personally have a testimony 10:35 of being off of medication from my asthma, 10:37 just from the drinks, the herbal drink 10:39 that we have been able to give, called TP3 at the center, 10:42 and God, He has just been moving in so many ways 10:45 and using us to help to dispel the darkness 10:47 that we found even in Southern Alabama. 10:51 Yes, and for all of the people 10:53 that we have been able to reach at the wellness center, 10:55 there are so many more people that don't have the means 10:59 to come to the wellness center to receive care. 11:01 They may not have transportation, 11:03 or they may not be able to afford, 11:04 or may not even know that they need 11:06 the care that they need, 11:08 and so we had a special burden on our hearts 11:12 to reach out to even those people. 11:14 And so this year, we've decided 11:15 to undertake a new mission of bringing healthcare 11:18 to those people who aren't able to come to us, 11:21 and the way in which we prayed 11:23 and decided to do this is through 11:25 planning a series of different health fairs. 11:27 And so the Lord has really been blessing 11:29 and as we've been in the planning processes, 11:31 we prayed and we wanted it to be more than just a health fair 11:34 because the disparities 11:35 and the needs in these areas are so great, 11:37 they need more than to just come 11:39 and be told that they have high blood pressure 11:41 or be told that they have high cholesterol. 11:43 And it's been such a blessing 11:45 just to see how God has been opening up doors, 11:47 we have dentists that have volunteered to come 11:49 and do extractions 11:51 for the people on site for free. 11:53 And we have physicians 11:55 that are volunteering their time 11:56 to come out and do all of these different services 11:59 for the people in these communities 12:00 because they too see the need of the health disparities 12:04 and of the healthcare of the people in these areas. 12:08 And more than all of the care that we're able to provide 12:13 and the screenings and the extractions, 12:16 the dental care, the medical care, 12:18 our aim in all that we're doing at the center, 12:20 even with these health fairs, 12:22 is to really share with them the message of God's love. 12:26 Amen! 12:27 Now imagine the health disparity 12:30 that they have been talking about. 12:32 In an area like this, 12:33 the education system is even worse. 12:37 I want you to imagine this story 12:39 with me about five years ago, 12:42 I was working in this area 12:43 assisting students of all kinds, 12:46 all different grades. 12:47 And as I was tutoring this one girl, okay, 12:51 this girl was 12 years old. 12:53 She was in the fourth grade. 12:56 The average fourth grader is only seven to eight, 13:00 sometimes even nine years old. 13:02 She is 12 years old in the fourth grade. 13:05 And her reading level was third grade. 13:08 On top of that, the same 12-year-old girl 13:12 was dating a 18-year-old boy, and later on, 13:15 a month later after I was doing tutoring 13:17 and different things like that, 13:19 the mother calls me 13:20 and tells me that her daughter was raped 13:22 by this, this gentlemen. 13:25 This is the disparity that this area is living in. 13:28 How is this cycle going to end? 13:31 I mean, we see so many health disparities 13:33 but even educationally, we see these disparities, 13:36 but ultimately, we see a spiritual complacency 13:41 and ignorance in this area, 13:42 and this was right here in the United States of America. 13:46 I want to interrupt just a moment 13:48 because I want you to understand who Kristen is. 13:52 Kristen got the desire to start up NALA, 13:55 the NAPS Abundant Life Academy 13:57 while she was still an undergrad, 14:00 her junior year in the midst of 21 hours, 14:03 credit hours, 14:04 she actually went through the research, 14:06 she got a team together and started actually 14:09 putting and developing and building a school 14:12 for these children. 14:14 And I have seen God just use her, 14:17 she's now graduated 14:18 and serving as the principal of this academy. 14:21 But God is doing big things 14:23 and so Kristen I want you to share 14:26 just a little bit of some of the successes we've had 14:29 and maybe let the children share something 14:31 that they have been practicing. 14:32 Yes, now God has been so good and I believe this school 14:35 is a ray of hope in such a dark area. 14:39 Some beautiful things that have happened is last year, 14:42 the students who had came in, 14:44 some, you know, were performing on grade level 14:46 but some are also below. 14:48 And by the end of that first academic year, 14:50 every single student in the school 14:52 was performing on grade level 14:55 and in many subject areas even above. 14:57 Amen. 14:59 Even further beyond that, 15:01 NALA, one of our mottos is where students learn value. 15:04 And truly, it is a place where they learn value. 15:07 I mean, they do service even in their own communities. 15:13 We actually did a mission trip for an elderly woman 15:16 in the nearby town 15:18 and her house was pretty much degraded. 15:23 They had no deck, 15:24 about 10 people are living in that trailer home. 15:27 And these young people in these red shirts 15:29 that you see right here, 15:31 they went and they used their hands 15:34 to build a deck for this lady. 15:37 But I believe that not only are they learning service, 15:41 but so many other morals 15:42 that our generation of children are lacking. 15:46 And I believe that the way that we will end this cycle 15:49 is by educating our children in Christ. 15:52 Now the greatest value 15:54 I believe that we are teaching our kids today is that of love. 15:59 When you see another child minister 16:02 and share the newfound faith 16:04 that they have with somebody else, 16:06 imagine how important that is. 16:09 And these children have 16:10 actually hid God's Word in their heart. 16:13 And so, they are going to share with you guys a verse 16:15 because in a time of trouble like this, 16:18 imagine having God's Word as your foundation 16:21 to be able to share with others. 16:23 So count it all joy. 16:27 "My brethren, count it all joy 16:31 when you fall into various trials, 16:35 knowing that the test of your faith produces patience. 16:40 But let patience have its perfect work, 16:45 that you may be perfect and complete, lacking nothing. 16:51 If any of you lacks wisdom, 16:55 let him ask of God, 16:59 who gives to all liberally and without reproach, 17:04 and it will be given to him. 17:07 But let him ask in faith, with no doubting, 17:13 for he who doubts is like a wave of the sea 17:17 driven and tossed by the wind." 17:20 Amen. 17:26 But the honest truth is, 17:28 if today you are all that happen, 17:32 is you say "Man, this group of young people 17:34 they're working for the Lord," 17:36 or they are doing such a good job, 17:38 if that's all you leave with, 17:40 I don't think we actually have done our job. 17:43 The truth of the matter is, yes, we serve the Lord, 17:45 but we are here today 17:47 to encourage you in the audience, 17:50 you viewers that now is the time to go, 17:53 there is someone that is sitting 17:55 watching this wondering, should I start missionary work? 17:59 And the answer is yes. 18:00 When I think about all of that God has done, 18:03 through us as a body. 18:05 In this organization over 20,000 people 18:08 have been baptized, 18:09 over 1,500 youth have been trained, 18:13 34 churches, schools, and clinics built, 18:15 but that's not what NAPS has done, 18:17 it's what God has done through us. 18:20 And He desires to do the same for you. 18:23 He desires to use the gifts and talents He has given you. 18:27 And truthfully, 3ABN, we wanna thank you so much. 18:30 We want to thank you for your partnership, 18:32 for your love, for your prayers, 18:34 but really, it's not that we are thanking you 18:36 because we are all on the same team, 18:38 it's not NAPS's work, it's the Lord's work. 18:41 So truly, God is the one that gets the glory 18:44 from all of that that has happened 18:46 and it's not us but it's the Lord. 18:49 And I challenge you today as you're sitting here, 18:52 as you're thinking, as you're listening, 18:54 I ask you, I challenge you to think, 18:56 am I letting the Holy Spirit use me to the fullest? 19:00 Am I allowing a flame to be ignited in my heart? 19:04 Do I let God send me and do I accept the call to go? 19:08 And if your answer is no, 19:09 today is the day to change that. 19:12 We thank you so much, 3ABN Family. 19:16 O for that flame of living fire 19:22 Which shone so bright in saints of old 19:29 Which bade their souls to heaven aspire Calm 19:35 in distress, in danger bold 19:40 Where is that Spirit, Lord, 19:44 which dwelt In Abram's breast, 19:48 and sealed Him Thine? 19:52 Which made Paul's heart with sorrow melt 19:58 And glow with energy divine? 20:03 Remember, Lord, 20:06 the ancient days Renew Thy work, 20:11 Thy grace restore 20:14 And while to Thee our hearts we raise 20:20 On us Thy Holy Spirit pour 20:27 Amen. 20:39 One of the integral parts of 3ABN 20:41 is of course 3ABN Radio. 20:43 Since we are primarily a television ministry, 20:46 we don't get to hear as much about radio 20:47 as we should. 20:48 But radio is doing... 20:50 Amen. 20:51 A great and fantastic work for the Lord, it really is. 20:55 Our general manager at 3ABN Radio is Jay Christian. 20:58 The time is yours, Jay, 20:59 to tell us about the great things 21:01 God is doing through 3ABN Radio. 21:03 Okay, CA, thank you very much. 21:05 Glad to be here to talk with you. 21:07 And, boy, there's just so much to talk about. 21:11 They tell me how long I have to talk 21:12 and I can tell you that if they gave me 20 minutes, 21:17 I'd still be talking. 21:19 If they give me 30 minutes, I would still be talking. 21:21 There are so many things happening at 3ABN Radio 21:24 that are really very exciting. 21:26 The main things that we want to let you know 21:28 are the highlights, 21:30 but there is just so much happening 21:32 behind the scenes. 21:34 You may remember that we have started the music channel 21:38 that went on the air in April of this year. 21:41 We've had a very strong response to it 21:44 and we praise God for that and we thank you as well. 21:47 As a matter of fact, 21:48 when we look at our online listening, 21:50 it's inching up, and up, and up, and going up. 21:54 And we like that, that's a much better trend, 21:56 and so that's good, we praise God for that. 21:58 We have some new affiliates and we ask for the... 22:04 We always mention the affiliates 22:07 when we first get started because they are the mainstream 22:10 of reaching people in the communities. 22:13 We've got, in Alaska, 22:15 we have got a couple of new affiliates. 22:17 Galena, Alaska at 95.5 FM, 22:22 Delta Junction, Alaska at 90.3 22:25 and Springtown, Texas 89.1, 22:29 and this station reaches most of Fort Worth, Texas. 22:35 Praise God for that, 22:36 when we get into the big cities, 22:38 that's just really exciting 22:39 because the people are packed together, 22:40 so there are more people 22:42 that will be able to listen as time goes on. 22:45 We've got the Grand Rapids, Michigan at 89.7, 22:49 Lansing, Michigan at 1540 AM, 22:54 and we have also just signed a new station in California, 22:58 in Dobbinsm California, 93.3. 23:02 Now I always go into Australia 23:05 with a little bit of fear and trembling 23:07 because some of the... 23:09 My mouth doesn't work the same way 23:10 that the Australians' mouth works. 23:12 And so if I mispronounce a name here, 23:14 I've got some fairly easy ones, 23:16 but if I mispronounce a name, I apologize, 23:18 I hope one day to go to Australia, 23:20 and visit some of our radio stations. 23:22 But in Dubbo, New South Wales 87.8, 23:27 Canobolas, New South Wales, I hope I got that right. 23:32 Casey, in Australian Capital Territory, 23:36 and at 88, 23:39 we have Duffy in the Australian Capital Territory at 88 FM, 23:45 and Bundaberg, Australia 96.3. 23:49 So we praise God for those new affiliates in Australia 23:54 and throughout the United States. 23:56 Now something you may not be aware of is in Australia, 23:59 we actually have two radio signals in Australia, 24:02 one is just straight what we put out here in America 24:07 and some people would like to listen to that. 24:09 We also have our 3ABN Australia staff 24:12 that is recording programs in Australian. 24:16 Now that's sounds kind of strange 24:18 because they speak English, and we speak English, 24:20 but you know, that they have different accent than we have. 24:24 And it's very obviously 24:25 a local program for the listeners there. 24:28 And so we're excited about that and so are they, 24:31 because they are getting a very strong response to that. 24:34 John and Rosemary, Paul and James in the staff 24:37 they are doing just wonderful work for us. 24:39 As a matter of fact, we get to comments 24:42 after we started the new music channel, 24:44 we got quite a few comments from NAP, 24:45 but we get a well-rounded comments 24:49 from people over time. 24:50 Here are a couple of emails that we got from people. 24:54 From Andrew, he says, "I love your 3ABN radio station 24:58 and from what I've heard of your Australian radio station, 25:00 I love that one too." 25:02 You've been a huge blessing to me, 25:04 I appreciate all you do for the furtherance 25:06 of the everlasting gospel of Jesus Christ. 25:08 Keep up the good work 25:10 and may we all be found in Christ 25:11 when He returns in glory." 25:13 Amen. 25:15 The music channel continues to please our listeners. 25:18 Here is one from someone 25:20 who discovered the music channel, 25:22 "Thank you so much for the nice music. 25:25 I listen to the radio while I am working, 25:26 such a blessing. 25:28 Here's Henry." 25:29 And here is another one, 25:30 "Wow, am I ever enjoying having Christian music 25:33 in the house all the time. 25:35 And finally, Dom told me one day that, 25:37 maybe I could live stream your music channel on my iPad, 25:41 and it worked. 25:42 So when I'm in the kitchen, 25:43 I have you streaming on my iPad, 25:45 when I am upstairs in my sewing room 25:46 I have you on a computer. 25:48 What a blessing! 25:49 Thank you so much for the wonderful work you do. 25:51 May God bless you." 25:53 And that was from Brenda who wrote to us. 25:55 So that's wonderful. 25:57 We always love to hear these kinds of things 25:59 because why are we here? 26:01 I used to work in secular radio for a long time and our choice, 26:08 our whole purpose for being there was what? 26:12 Make money. 26:14 That's why we were there, 26:15 so it was my job to bring listeners 26:18 to the radio station 26:20 so that we would have a lot of listeners 26:22 so that we could charge a lot of money 26:23 for our commercials 26:25 and everybody could make a lot of money. 26:27 Well, in the secular world, that's fine, but in our world, 26:32 it's not, it's not fine. 26:34 We are here for one purpose and one purpose only, 26:38 and that is to reach the people with a message of salvation 26:42 to bring new people into the kingdom, 26:45 people that would not have been 26:46 able to who have been reached any other way than the radio. 26:50 And so, we're pleased to really be involved 26:52 and everything that comes along that we can, 26:56 we get our message, to newer and newer people. 26:59 And now we are on Roku, so praise God for that. 27:04 We have five radio stations on Roku. 27:07 So if you have Roku, 27:09 just go and check on the 3ABN Radio, 27:11 and then you'll be able to choose 27:12 from all of them. 27:13 We have the original channel 27:16 with the combination of talk and music, 27:19 we have the music channel. 27:20 We have 3ABN Russia, 3ABN Latino, 27:24 and the Australian channel for them as well. 27:29 And so they're available out there, 27:31 and who knows as the Lord blesses, 27:33 we may be able to put different languages on as well. 27:36 But we are on Roku. 27:38 And so we praise God for that because I got to admit, 27:43 I was a little slow in seeing the importance of that 27:47 because it's TV, right? 27:50 And so if somebody has a TV, I have learned, 27:54 but if somebody has a TV, 27:55 I think, well, they're gonna sit 27:56 in front of their TV 27:58 and they're not gonna want to listen to radio 27:59 and sit in front of their TV. 28:01 We heard from so many people, "Why aren't you on Roku? 28:04 Why aren't you on Roku?" 28:05 And so we have said, "Okay, we'll go on Roku." 28:08 And people are really happy with that 28:11 because you turn on the TV, 28:14 you're downstairs or wherever you are, 28:16 you go about doing whatever you are doing around the house, 28:20 and there is 3ABN Radio that's on. 28:23 And so we are very happy 28:24 to reach the people through Roku as well. 28:27 And from time to time, we will record a few things, 28:30 Brenda Walsh just recorded, just wrote a devotional book, 28:35 and they wanted an audio book 28:38 with this devotional book as well. 28:40 And so she came out, 28:41 we're in the finishing stages of getting that recorded now, 28:45 but it's like approximately one minute daily devotional 28:50 that's going to go with the book. 28:53 What they are doing is they are putting 28:54 her daily devotional together with a companion book, 28:58 "The Faith I Live By" by Ellen White, 29:01 and then the audio book as well, 29:03 so they are putting them all together, and hopefully, 29:05 they'll have them all together soon for you. 29:08 Something else that we do that's very important 29:11 for the affiliates is we're available 29:14 for them when they need us. 29:17 And so from time to time, I'll get a phone call 29:19 from somebody wanting to have some information 29:22 or run some ideas by us about an idea they have 29:25 or how we're gonna do this or how we're going to do that. 29:29 And I'll talk over some ideas with them. 29:31 Nikki Anderson, our affiliate representative 29:35 there at the 3ABN Radio Network, 29:38 she'll talk with people for a long time. 29:40 As a matter of fact, usually, 29:42 she's the one that they end up talking to most of the time 29:45 or Mike Babb, between the two of them, 29:47 they handle most of it. 29:49 I keep calling Nikki 29:50 the mother bear of 3ABN radio 29:53 and, you know, she's let me know, 29:55 that she is not sure if that's a compliment or not. 29:56 But I assure her that it is because she watches out over 30:00 the affiliates like you wouldn't believe. 30:02 And so she will talk to them and she'll encourage them 30:06 and give them ideas, 30:08 suggestions on how to do things, 30:10 and she handles 30:12 all of the communication from that way. 30:14 But we found that so many of our affiliates 30:17 are people that have never even thought 30:21 about having a radio station 30:23 until the Lord impressed them, sort of like Danny. 30:26 You know, we have gotten calls from people that said, 30:28 "The Lord has impressed me 30:30 that we need to start a radio station here." 30:33 So we work with them, 30:34 Mike talks them through the technical things, 30:36 helps them to set things up 30:38 and do all of these kinds of things. 30:40 And we're very glad to work with the people that do that. 30:43 And it's a blessing that's provided by you, 30:48 by your prayers, by your financial support, 30:50 and we thank you so much for everything you do. 30:53 And definitely, please keep us in your prayers 30:55 because we need you very much. 30:57 Thank you. 30:59 Amen. Thank you, Jay, so very, very much. 31:01 We don't get to hear much about radio as I said, 31:03 but radio is doing such a very, very fine job. 31:06 And we can trace many, many individuals 31:09 coming to the Lord to the church 31:11 through 3ABN Radio, 31:12 including members of our church here. 31:15 We are brining out a group of, I was gonna say lovely people, 31:18 we've got one person that's not really lovely, 31:21 he's handsome. 31:25 Please be seated. 31:27 As you well know, 3ABN has just completed 31:31 just a fabulous time in London 31:33 where we lifted up the name of Jesus. 31:36 And the Word was preached with power and with conviction. 31:40 Whenever you serve the Lord, a couple of things happen, 31:43 one, you get into the crosshairs of the enemy, 31:46 and the enemy begins to do his thing, 31:50 but we are so glad that, 31:51 "Greater is He that is in us than he that is in the world." 31:54 We thought we would have you meet 31:56 and get a word and hear a word 31:58 from the spouses of those who did the preaching 32:01 because they were an integral part 32:03 of the ministry in London, England. 32:06 They were not preaching 32:07 but they were ministering in their own right. 32:10 Now actually Chris did do some speaking, 32:12 but the others worked in a more subtle 32:15 yet very effective capacity. 32:18 So we wanted to just speak with them a little bit, 32:20 get you to hear a little bit about what they were doing, 32:25 how they filtered into the work, 32:26 how they fed into the overall ministry 32:29 that took place there in London. 32:31 So we've got Chris Shelton 32:32 whose husband is Pastor Kenny Shelton, 32:35 were at the, you were at the Hampstead Church. 32:36 Yeah, Hampstead Church. Yeah. 32:38 Then Idalia Dinzey whose husband is John Dinzey, 32:43 you were at Walthamstow. 32:46 Then we have got Mr. JD Quinn. 32:50 He's in good company. Yeah. 32:52 He's in good company. Indeed, indeed. 32:54 His wife Shelly Quinn, 32:55 they were at the Stoke Newington Church, 32:59 and then my lovely wife Irma, we were at the Tottenham, 33:03 as they say in England Tottenham, 33:04 Tottenham West Green Seventh-day Adventist Church, 33:07 and then of course Angie Lomacang 33:09 whose husband is Pastor John Lomacang, 33:11 they were at the Croydon Seventh-day Adventist Church. 33:14 So, ladies and gentlemen, 33:16 my first question is to you this. 33:19 Since there was no defined capacity for you, 33:22 Idalia, you did sing, 33:24 you did the appeal each night, 33:26 and Chris, you did speak, but for the rest of you, 33:28 there was no defined capacity, 33:30 you had to assess the situation 33:32 and then find a way to minister to the congregation 33:36 so that you were a part of the meeting. 33:38 Also, tell me how you did that 33:41 and did any particular incident stand out in your mind 33:45 as you were helping your spouse minister 33:48 from night to night? 33:50 And you've got to keep them short 33:51 because you guys can all talk. 33:55 With that lead, who will be first? 34:00 Well, Shelly and I have been ministering for years, 34:02 and so I don't know how this really works, 34:05 you just kind of just fill the voids that are out there. 34:08 And I am a member of the pastoral department 34:12 at 3ABN, we talk to people all around the world, 34:14 we pray with them daily. 34:16 So it seems like wherever we go 34:18 that I'm known as a prayer warrior. 34:21 So that just took a life of its own. 34:24 And number one, I am an ambassador 34:26 for the Lord of which I'm just... 34:28 Thank You, Jesus, that I have that opportunity. 34:29 Amen. 34:30 And number two is that I am an ambassador for 3ABN. 34:34 And so incorporating those three, 34:36 someone's always pulling you over here, 34:39 pulling you over there 34:40 because they want to have that special time 34:44 just with the Lord, 34:45 and I'm more than happy to do that. 34:47 And so that's the way Shelly and I complement each other. 34:52 Amen. 34:54 Well, echoing on what you said, 34:56 we're a team and I believe that our part was, 34:59 even before getting to London, 35:02 we as wives and spouses, we must pray for our spouse. 35:08 So in praying for him, 35:10 we are also praying for the people 35:12 that we are going to meet 35:13 because we've heard the Lord is coming, 35:17 but how is the message so personal. 35:20 So a personal touch, 35:22 I think that is important during these meetings. 35:26 When he preached, I was praying for him 35:29 and I told him don't call me up for the altar song 35:32 if the message has not been clear. 35:35 Don't rush to it 35:36 because what's important is to teach clearly. 35:40 And that is one of the benefits that we had with Johnny. 35:45 And the people would come up and say, 35:46 "Thank you for clarifying that." 35:48 And so in praying and touching with the people, 35:53 I really had a good time. 35:55 I was blessed just to share it with them 35:58 after the meetings and before the meetings. 36:01 Amen. 36:02 Well, when you are married to a man that knows everything. 36:09 Wait, wait, wait, my grandson just said 36:11 that my husband knew everything. 36:13 I'm confused. 36:15 We'll fight it. 36:17 And the people know him so well from watching television 36:22 and so he is so well known. 36:27 For me, sometimes it's a little intimidating, 36:30 I don't know what to do 36:32 or what I will do when we are together. 36:36 But the Lord works that out all the time 36:39 because, you know, 36:41 He just puts you in the places where He needs you to help 36:45 and to be assisting and whatever. 36:50 And for this church in particular, 36:54 I have to say that that's been the most friendly, 36:58 really people excited, 37:01 they were just coming to me many times 37:05 because he was busy, and trying to get to him, 37:08 they will come to me, sometimes we will have prayer, 37:11 sometimes just to give a message to him. 37:15 So every night it was a little different 37:18 than the other one 37:19 and so the same as what Idalia said, 37:26 you pray behind the scenes for the message, 37:30 for the people that the Lord will open their hearts 37:34 that the message will be received 37:36 and the people will come to accept Him. 37:40 And so we had a wonderful meeting 37:43 and it was, this has been the most comfortable for me 37:47 in that setting. 37:49 I have also helped him 37:50 with the doing the little interviews 37:53 that we have outside. 37:56 So it was wonderful, 37:58 every day there was something little different, 38:01 some people will come for prayer 38:03 and others just do tell us how much they love 3ABN. 38:08 Amen. 38:09 And how much, you know, 38:12 some people, that's all they want, 38:14 and then the other ones 38:16 that have come to the Lord through 3ABN. 38:18 So that was a wonderful experience. 38:20 Amen. 38:21 And mine was like that also, pray as a woman, 38:25 as well as the man. 38:27 We pray for our spouses 38:29 and prayer is an integral part of our ministry. 38:33 And when we, 38:35 I know the Bible said it's not good that man 38:37 or woman should be alone. 38:39 And that's what we did, 38:43 the Bible says to go out two by two also. 38:45 And when we went out, of course, 38:49 we all mingled with the people, I am sure, get to know people, 38:53 and that was a big part of that, 38:55 getting to know people, 38:56 praying with people. 38:58 And we were right near the train station. 39:02 And so when, one day, I said, all these flyers sitting here, 39:06 these little cards to give out for the meetings, 39:08 I said, "Let's go give those out." 39:10 And so I went out there in front of the church, 39:13 and lots of people from the community 39:16 walking by the church, 39:17 I would give them a card to come in. 39:19 And one man actually came in. 39:22 And he says, "What's going on in here?" 39:24 I said, "Well, we have music, preaching, 39:27 we even have a health seminar." 39:28 He says, "Really, health?" 39:29 I said, "Yes, come on in." 39:31 And he came in and sat down 39:33 and it was such a blessing to him. 39:35 And just as women as well as men 39:40 being the spouse of the speaker, 39:43 we all said a prayer. 39:44 I know we all pray for our spouses, 39:46 I do that all the time, while we were there, 39:50 and praying with the people, 39:51 getting to meet the people is so important. 39:54 And hearing their issues, their problems, 39:57 whatever they're going through. 39:58 And so, I just thank God for the opportunity. 40:01 It was a blessing. 40:02 You know, to just kind of go together here, 40:05 I think we're all echoing 40:07 because when we first heard this question, 40:09 my thought was, "We have to prayed up 40:11 and we have to be studied up long before we go." 40:14 And just as a clarification, 40:15 it was my five-year-old grandson, 40:17 he was watching a video, 40:19 "Grandpa," this morning he says, 40:20 "how come he knows everything?" 40:22 And it gave me opportunity to share with him 40:24 because grandpa's studying the Word. 40:27 And we talked about character building, 40:29 so that's why it was kind of, 40:30 you know, playing off that a little bit. 40:32 But there is nothing better than being in evangelism. 40:36 And I guess, in a sense, 40:37 we've been doing this for several years 40:39 so we've kind of fallen into a routine of how we do it. 40:42 Now we didn't realize that the routine 40:44 was gonna carry itself over to London 40:46 because we've never gone with 3ABN. 40:48 So we were kind of breaking away from our routine, 40:51 but God put it back together two days before we went, 40:54 so it was kind of a long story 40:56 how we found all this material to get it back, 40:58 but I did feel very much involved, 41:01 very much involved with the people. 41:03 And there's just nothing better 41:06 than being where God wants you to be, 41:08 to being where His spirit is, 41:10 to doing what He's called you to do. 41:12 And of course, as these ladies and gentlemen did, 41:16 we prayed with a lot of people, and, of course, 41:18 we prayed for one another, 41:19 and you can never pray too much. 41:21 Amen. 41:23 Quickly, any incidents stand out in your minds 41:26 from your particular perspective, 41:29 did anything sort of jump out at you, 41:30 any person, any incident sort of stayed with you? 41:33 Maybe something you're praying for or something that happened 41:35 that stayed in your mind, stayed in your heart? 41:37 Well, for me, 41:39 many, as you know, I was born in England. 41:42 England is my home. 41:43 I came to this country when I was a little girl, 41:45 my father died, 41:47 he is buried in England in a place called Derby. 41:50 And it was so nice to go back home. 41:53 I have three uncles in England, two in London and one in Derby, 41:58 but they're not Christians. 42:01 So, and these are my father's brothers. 42:03 Anyway, the very particular church 42:06 that we went to, the Lord is so good, 42:09 it was so nice, 42:10 I hear John is talking 'cause my family is Jamaican, 42:13 my parents are Jamaican. 42:15 And John, and the church was mostly Jamaican, 42:19 and so John was speaking saying, 42:22 "My wife is born in here in Derby 42:28 and she is, her family is Jamaican." 42:29 Everybody clapped. Yay! 42:32 And after that, after he preached, 42:35 a lady came up to me, 42:38 and let me just back up a minute. 42:40 My Mom used to always talk about her uncle 42:44 and his name was, they called him Teacher Blake, 42:48 and his last name was Blake, that's my mother's maiden name. 42:52 Anyway, after the meeting, a lady came up to me, 42:57 she says, "I'm your cousin." 42:59 I said, "You are?" 43:00 And she says, 43:02 "My grandfather's name is Teacher Blake." 43:06 I said, "What?" 43:08 I said, "My mother used to always talk about 43:11 her uncle Teacher Blake." 43:13 And then we hugged, 43:16 and it was just such a wonderful time 43:19 to know that the Lord put me in the church 43:22 where I would meet my cousin. 43:24 It was such an honor to go back home, so to speak, 43:29 and meet a cousin. 43:30 And right before we left, she took us out, 43:33 took us to Windsor Castle, and took us out to dinner, 43:37 John and I, and we had such a wonderful time. 43:40 And we have been in contact 43:42 since then and she showed me a family list 43:45 with a little family tree. 43:47 So I just praise God for putting me in the church 43:48 with my family. 43:50 Amen. 43:51 Now I'm gonna ask you to give me the Reader's Digest version, 43:54 you know, we've got to cut it short, 43:56 but anyone else. 43:57 Well, I would like to share that we met a young lady 44:01 who used to be a Muslim 44:03 and she was converted into the Seventh-day Adventism. 44:07 And her parents do not know 44:09 that she has become a Christian. 44:12 So when she came to the one particular meeting, 44:16 she said, "I was not heading this way, 44:18 but for some reason I ended up in church tonight. 44:21 And I just want to tell you 44:23 that the topic that was presented today 44:25 was the topic that I really, really needed." 44:28 So as we travel together, spouses, 44:33 whether, it says gentleman can talk to gentleman, 44:35 women, we can talk heart to heart to women. 44:38 So I think it's imperative that we make the message personal, 44:43 and Jesus had that personal touch. 44:45 The message of salvation is personal, 44:48 and on the screen is not gonna cut it. 44:52 Our church members need to touch someone personally 44:56 so that they can feel that this message is for them 45:00 and there's something for them in it. 45:02 Amen. 45:04 In our church something that touched me 45:09 was to see many young people 45:13 that were responding to the call of the message. 45:17 The youngest was I think he was 10, 10, 45:21 very beautiful little boy and very mature. 45:27 And so he was the youngest, there was another, 45:33 as a whole, mixture of ages 45:35 actually for the people that got baptized. 45:38 But it seemed like most of the younger crowd 45:44 was directing and handling the music and the reading, 45:50 we had some very little ones, about seven years old, 45:54 reading the scripture. 45:58 But the people were just really responding in a marvelous way. 46:05 And so I was impressed 46:07 and this trip really touched me 46:12 to see the response of the people 46:15 in the church and in those that came. 46:20 Also, I have to tell you quickly, 46:22 some friends of ours like your family, 46:28 we were in... 46:31 Many years ago, can't say how many but their daughter, 46:35 one of their daughter I had not met 46:37 and she heard that we were in London 46:41 and she's doing some paperwork over there 46:43 because she was born in one of the British Islands. 46:47 And she came to see us, and just a sweet, sweet lady, 46:52 and then we also had a visit of my the sister 46:56 of my son-in-law Brandon, 47:00 and so it was a wonderful thing to get to know them too. 47:04 But it was a tremendous power of the Holy Spirit 47:10 that it felt in that church among the members. 47:14 They were so excited 47:15 that we were there representing 3ABN, 47:20 and like I said before, they just love 3ABN 47:24 and many of them support 3ABN too. 47:27 And now other ones wants to do the same. 47:32 One of the things that I remember, 47:34 first of all, this was our first evangelistic series, 47:37 so we really didn't understand the dynamics. 47:39 The first dynamic is that we had 16 days together, 47:43 18 days together. 47:45 During that time, relationships were established, 47:47 you get to know everyone, you know, 47:50 and so that takes a life of its own. 47:52 What really stood out to me is that our driver 47:55 because London is like a red ant bed, 47:58 I mean, it's just so active, 47:59 everything is going on so fast 48:01 that if you were to take a stranger, 48:03 especially from Texas and put them there 48:06 to try to find your way where you're going, 48:08 it would be next to impossible. 48:10 So we had drivers. 48:11 And so our driver was named Sammy. 48:13 Sammy was a neat guy. 48:15 He was a man's man, tough, street smart. 48:19 And he had a friend by the name of Ruth. 48:22 Now I don't know how they got to know each other or not. 48:25 But Ruth, he had been trying to get Ruth 48:28 to come to the Adventist church for a number of years. 48:31 And he, so of all the time she shows up, 48:37 and so this was great, we quickly befriended Ruth, 48:41 and as every day, Sammy would pick us up, 48:45 take us to church, 48:47 bring us back home. 48:48 And so, of course, we couldn't wait 48:50 because he talked to Ruth, 48:52 how did she accept the message, how did she accept the message. 48:56 And so that was an interesting situation, 48:59 you know, just to be able to watch that relationship 49:01 between Ruth and the church, and of course, 49:05 Sammy and the way of his evangelistic efforts. 49:09 And that was really neat right there. 49:12 I'm still trying to figure out 49:13 how to get a Reader's Digest version out of this. 49:16 My brains have been going through all kinds of scenarios, 49:19 but I think the best scenario, 49:22 you know, I've always said for years, 49:23 the greatest miracle is to see lives and hearts 49:26 change by the Holy Spirit. 49:28 So we saw God bringing children into his family 49:32 and those were miracles after miracles, 49:34 Mrs. White says, we're to pluck them out of the fire. 49:36 And that's what God was doing, and it was such a blessing, 49:40 but there were so many. 49:42 One little girl, our youngest, 49:44 and she mentioned a little girl, 49:45 one little girl, she, her name was Gabriella... 49:47 is Gabriella. 49:49 She's 11 years old, she grew up on 3ABN. 49:53 That's how she learned to love Jesus 49:55 was by watching 3ABN. 49:58 When she heard that 3ABN was gonna be in London, 50:00 she had asked her parents, 50:01 "Would you please take me to these meetings?" 50:04 And so they ended up at the Hampstead Church 50:06 where we were, and she wrote on her little card, 50:08 she wrote me a little note, 50:10 she said, "Would you please pray, 50:11 I get stage fright, 50:12 I don't want to be up in front of people. 50:14 And so I said, "Sure, I will pray." 50:16 About two nights later, 50:18 here she comes up for an altar cause, 50:19 I said, "God answered your prayer, didn't He?" 50:22 She's like, "Yes." 50:23 And she followed Him through baptism 50:25 and she wanted Pastor Kenny to baptize, 50:28 but it's customary 50:30 to let the pastor of the church do that. 50:32 So we both sat up near her, 50:34 so we were in touching distance, 50:36 and she was so thrilled. 50:37 But God answered her prayer 50:39 to the point that at the last meeting 50:41 where there were hundreds of people, 50:42 she stood up to sing. 50:44 And I could go on and on with these stories, 50:46 but God was so good, and many times, 50:49 you knew that the Holy Spirit was walking amongst His people, 50:52 and it was a blessing. 50:54 He actually told people, 50:56 many people that were at our church 50:58 to be at our church. 50:59 And like some of the others testified here, 51:01 many times they would come wanting to know a subject, 51:04 whether it was the judgment or the Sabbath or whatever, 51:07 and that night is when it would be presented. 51:09 So we saw a lot of hearts and lives changed. 51:12 And we praise the Lord. 51:14 3ABN, when Danny resumed the presidency, 51:18 he had this burden to move from us 51:21 just televising other's evangelistic endeavors 51:25 to actively being involved 51:26 in frontline evangelism ourselves, 51:29 to move from the spectator portion 51:32 to the on the field, in the game, 51:34 doing it ourselves. 51:35 Oh, yes. 51:36 Now that 3ABN has pivoted in that direction, 51:38 do you think that is a good thing, 51:40 is that some thing we can support 51:41 and line up behind? 51:43 I'm gonna say, absolutely yes, without a doubt. 51:46 There's nothing better. 51:48 All over the world, 51:49 we have seen literal miracles take place 51:52 when the three angels' message is being given 51:55 through evangelism. 51:57 At first, I thought, "Well, why are we doing it? 52:00 We always get, you know, 52:02 the Doug Batchelors and all of these people." 52:05 And then as I thought about our speakers, 52:09 our presenters on 3ABN not because I work here, 52:12 but we have some good godly speakers 52:15 in our 3ABN family. 52:18 And I thought, "Well, this is definitely different, 52:21 but then again it makes 3ABN real 52:24 and more personal to the people 52:25 when we go out there and mingle with them 52:28 and talk with them and teach." 52:30 Yeah, I was thinking of the same lines 52:33 because it's true. 52:35 We are doing evangelism here in 3ABN, 52:41 but as we notice in our church, in the beginning, 52:47 I think them as well as us, 52:50 didn't know exactly how it was going to developed 52:54 and so they were waiting to see. 52:58 And but the first day went by and they just got so excited 53:03 and they were just amazed 53:07 that we were there for them and with them. 53:11 They expressed in every way possible, 53:15 they took care of us, 53:17 they cooked for us, the lady Pat and the kitchen, 53:23 oh, I just felt so sorry for her, 53:24 she was so hot 53:26 because it was kind of summery time in there. 53:30 And but she was so happy to go, "No, no, no, don't worry." 53:35 She was just so happy to cook for us. 53:37 The couple, Kelly and Camille 53:42 who did most of the driving for us, 53:44 they were just beautiful people, 53:47 just excited to serve us and to be with us 53:51 and to get to the meetings, 53:52 and they will drive all day doing their own things 53:56 and driving us, 53:57 and then they were still excited 53:59 to come to the meetings. 54:02 We had an elderly brother. 54:07 Brim. 54:08 Brother Brim, yes, beautiful man, 54:11 and his wife also sweet, 54:13 taking us around, and they were just so happy too 54:18 because they just love 3ABN. 54:20 And the spirit just moved 54:25 through that Church every day, 54:28 every day. 54:31 Well, I certainly would say a big yes. 54:33 I think that it's important that 3ABN now starts doing this 54:38 annually or biannually, whatever, you know, 54:40 to get out there. 54:41 I know that in the Stoke Newington Church, 54:43 many, many great seeds were planted. 54:45 And it is our prayer, we pray daily for this church 54:49 to be able to continue to fertilize 54:52 the good seed that's been sown. 54:54 So yes. 54:57 And it's true, evangelism is the heartbeat of this ministry. 55:01 And even though we are evangelizing 55:03 through television and radio, 55:06 it's nothing like going out there 55:08 and touching lives, meeting people one to one, 55:11 and it is truly a blessing. 55:13 You know, just as a last foot note, 55:15 I truly believe that it helped, 55:17 it helps to encourage people to get the word out 55:20 because 3ABN can reach into homes 55:23 where we cannot reach when we're there personally. 55:25 But because of the way we did it, 55:27 because we took camera crews 55:28 and some churches were streaming it, 55:30 more and more people were wanting to tune into 3ABN 55:34 and they got excited and they wanted in their homes. 55:36 So it kind of gets the word out to a lot of people that, 55:40 "Hey, you need this station on." 55:42 Amen. 55:44 One of the things that became very apparent to us 55:46 once we decided we were going to be involved in first-line, 55:49 frontline evangelism was that Satan was angry. 55:53 We don't have time, 55:54 taste, talent or inclination to tell you all of the things 55:57 that Satan has done to attack this ministry 55:59 during this calendar year 56:01 once we determined we were gonna stand up for the Lord 56:03 and go into the camp of the enemy 56:05 and bring back souls. 56:07 But 3ABN has been under consistent, persistent, 56:10 incessant attack of the enemy during this calendar year. 56:14 And you can all say amen to that. 56:15 Oh, yes. 56:16 We have seen Satan fight against us, 56:18 but we believe greater is He that is in us 56:21 than he that is in the world, 56:23 and we truly believe that Christ will be triumphant 56:26 because this is what Christ has called us to do. 56:30 In my particular church, 56:31 we had a young come to the meetings, 56:33 go down into the bathroom of the church 56:35 and slash his wrist during the preaching. 56:39 He came back upstairs, wrist bleeding, 56:42 ambulance had to come and take care of him. 56:44 So we saw The Great Controversy played out 56:47 right there during the meetings. 56:48 And I think everyone has stories of the same. 56:50 Oh, yes. 56:51 The fighting between good and evil, 56:53 yet God was triumphant, 56:55 God is triumphant, God will be triumphant, 56:59 and souls will be saved for the kingdom of God. 57:01 And we thank you all for supporting your spouses 57:05 and for those who stood up in the name of Jesus. 57:09 All of us have testimonies of many people baptized, 57:12 but many more in the baptismal classes 57:16 preparing for baptism. 57:17 A fire has been started in London 57:19 and we know that fire will burn until Christ comes 57:23 and we see Him face to blessed face. 57:25 And so, Chris and Idalia and JD and Irma and Angie, 57:29 thank you so very, very much 57:31 for what you are doing for the cause of Christ 57:33 and helping your spouses. 57:34 Amen. |
