Welcome to 3ABN's
Spring Camp Meeting 2017:
00:00:14.11\00:00:18.48
All of you: thank you
for joining us here at
00:00:24.65\00:00:28.02
the Thompsonville
Seventh-day Adventist Church
00:00:28.22\00:00:30.93
which is 3ABN's Worship Center.
00:00:31.13\00:00:34.03
And we are just so
happy that you're here
00:00:34.23\00:00:37.00
to our Spring Camp
Meeting. Spring... you're right!
00:00:37.20\00:00:39.83
I got it right this time!
00:00:40.04\00:00:41.37
I told Danny, last time
I introduced or opened up
00:00:41.40\00:00:44.71
for Camp Meeting I
called the Spring Camp Meeting
00:00:44.91\00:00:47.08
the Fall Camp Meeting.
Last October or something
00:00:47.28\00:00:49.14
she said Spring. So
hey, that's all right.
00:00:49.34\00:00:51.75
We're glad that they're
all here, all of you, and those
00:00:52.15\00:00:55.22
of you at home:
thank you for joining us.
00:00:55.42\00:00:56.75
We've been having a wonderful
time and a spiritual time.
00:00:56.92\00:00:59.35
Yes we have. And I
feel extremely blessed
00:00:59.55\00:01:01.69
that each and every
one of you are here.
00:01:01.89\00:01:03.49
And we walked around
this afternoon and got to meet
00:01:03.69\00:01:06.23
quite a few of the
folks. We want to do that again
00:01:06.43\00:01:08.26
tomorrow. And also, last
night we offered the books.
00:01:08.46\00:01:11.17
We had 16,000 some odd
books and ya'll took them home.
00:01:11.37\00:01:14.57
All night... We
kept out a few hundred.
00:01:14.77\00:01:16.81
But tomorrow afternoon
we're going to have 23,000 more
00:01:17.01\00:01:20.58
that's here.
Dwight's bringing them down.
00:01:20.78\00:01:22.11
So if you all make
sure you get your books -
00:01:22.14\00:01:23.98
the Spiritual
Vigilantes - before you go home
00:01:24.18\00:01:26.85
and pass those out. Well,
I'm glad to have a group up here
00:01:27.05\00:01:29.82
with us, and I think
it's time... Reggie and Ladye,
00:01:30.02\00:01:31.72
we're glad that... You
weren't here last night.
00:01:31.92\00:01:33.72
Melody... And we're
looking forward to your...
00:01:33.92\00:01:35.79
Reggie is with the
Gaither Vocal Band now.
00:01:35.99\00:01:37.83
Anybody know the Vocal Band?
00:01:38.03\00:01:40.36
A lot of you folk
do? So he's there, but
00:01:40.56\00:01:43.23
of course he and Ladye and Bret,
they still get time to travel
00:01:43.43\00:01:45.87
as a family. And of course we
have Bro. Tim Parton over on the
00:01:46.27\00:01:48.67
piano. Let's do a
song. What song are we doin'?
00:01:48.87\00:01:51.01
Let's do When We
All Get To Heaven?
00:01:51.21\00:01:52.54
When We All Get
To Heaven. All right.
00:01:52.57\00:01:53.91
We should put the words up
on the screen for everybody.
00:01:53.94\00:01:56.24
Sing it out:
00:02:00.48\00:02:01.82
All right! I'm in for a
blessing tonight, how about you?
00:03:10.79\00:03:13.56
Amen! I'm going to ask
Pastor John if you'll come up
00:03:13.76\00:03:15.92
and lead us in a prayer.
And we just ask for a great
00:03:16.12\00:03:18.89
outpouring of the
Holy Spirit tonight.
00:03:19.09\00:03:20.90
Amen. Let us pray.
00:03:21.10\00:03:22.43
Loving Father in heaven, we
thank you for the opportunity
00:03:22.83\00:03:25.40
tonight once again to not
just enjoy this encampment
00:03:25.60\00:03:29.07
but, Father, to tarry under
the canopy of Your blessings.
00:03:29.27\00:03:34.41
Each one of us has
come with an empty cup
00:03:35.11\00:03:37.15
and we want that cup
to be filled... not just
00:03:37.35\00:03:40.25
with information, Father,
but with Your Holy Spirit.
00:03:40.45\00:03:42.75
Each one of us is in
need of strengthening tonight
00:03:43.15\00:03:45.25
and so, Lord, once again
Your manservants and Your
00:03:45.45\00:03:48.26
maidservants have
blessed our hearts.
00:03:48.46\00:03:50.26
Tonight, Lord, once
again speak to our hearts
00:03:50.66\00:03:52.99
through the music that
is to uplift Your holy name.
00:03:53.19\00:03:55.86
And when our meeting tonight
is done, Lord, may we know that
00:03:56.36\00:03:58.83
we have not only
been in Your presence
00:03:59.03\00:04:00.50
but we look forward to the
day when we all get to heaven
00:04:00.90\00:04:03.10
to rejoice with You through
the ceaseless ages of eternity.
00:04:03.30\00:04:07.14
This we ask in
Jesus' name, Amen. Amen!
00:04:07.34\00:04:11.08
Well it's a great privilege
to have Reggie and Ladye Love
00:04:11.28\00:04:13.62
Smith. So we're going
to turn it over to you guys
00:04:13.92\00:04:15.65
to maybe do a
couple of songs for us.
00:04:15.85\00:04:18.25
And we're so
blessed to have Reggie.
00:04:18.45\00:04:20.42
How many have been
ministered to by these folks?
00:04:20.62\00:04:23.09
OK. How many have not heard
them sing before? Anybody here?
00:04:23.49\00:04:26.13
A few hands... all right.
00:04:26.33\00:04:27.66
You want to look over
there and sing to him.
00:04:27.70\00:04:29.60
And who out... Sing to her?
00:04:29.80\00:04:33.07
All right... we'll sing to
her. We'll sing to both of you
00:04:33.27\00:04:35.34
that haven't heard 'em. OK.
00:04:35.54\00:04:37.31
We're glad that you're
here and God bless you.
00:04:37.51\00:04:38.97
Well the music's not playing yet
so I'm going to talk until they
00:04:46.15\00:04:48.58
start playing the music.
We're so honored to be here
00:04:48.78\00:04:51.09
with you at Camp Meeting.
Are ya'll ready to have a great
00:04:51.29\00:04:53.36
time the rest of
the weekend? Amen!
00:04:53.56\00:04:54.89
All right...
we're ready, you guys.
00:04:54.92\00:04:56.93
Can He? Could He?
00:05:11.04\00:05:14.01
Would He? Did He?
00:05:14.21\00:05:16.71
He can, He could, yes,
He can, He could, He would
00:05:16.91\00:05:19.18

00:05:19.38\00:05:21.62
I said: Can He?

00:05:21.92\00:05:27.89
He can, He could, He would...

00:05:28.12\00:05:30.43
and He did!
00:05:30.63\00:05:33.19
From the moment I heard
about the Lord and His Word
00:05:33.40\00:05:36.23
well it seemed
too good to be true.
00:05:36.43\00:05:39.03
There were questions and
doubts, I tried to figure it out
00:05:39.23\00:05:41.87
but the best that I
could do was to wander around
00:05:42.07\00:05:46.01
in this love that I found
until the questions started
00:05:46.21\00:05:48.58
answering themselves and saying:
00:05:48.78\00:05:50.68
He can, He could, He would...
Yes, He can, He could, He would
00:05:50.88\00:05:53.05
and He did!
00:05:53.25\00:05:55.78
Well can He? Could He?
00:05:56.18\00:05:59.19
Would He? Did He?
00:05:59.39\00:06:01.89
He can, He could, He would...
Yes, He can, He could, He would
00:06:02.09\00:06:04.36
and He did!
00:06:04.56\00:06:06.76
I said: Can He? Could He?
00:06:06.96\00:06:10.27
Would He? Did He?
00:06:10.47\00:06:13.17
He can, He could, He would...
Yes, He can, He could, He would
00:06:13.37\00:06:15.60
and He did!
00:06:15.80\00:06:18.24
A do-do-do-do-do-do...
do-do-do-do...
00:06:18.84\00:06:21.64
do-do-do... do-do-do-do...
00:06:22.04\00:06:24.61

do, do, do, do
00:06:36.06\00:06:38.93
I know that He did.
00:06:39.13\00:06:41.33
Well, can He? Could He?
00:06:41.73\00:06:44.20
Would He? Did He?
00:06:44.40\00:06:47.04
He can, He could, He would...
Yes, He can, He could, He would
00:06:47.24\00:06:49.54
and He did! I
know, I know He did.
00:06:49.74\00:06:52.37
I said: Did He? Could He?
00:06:52.57\00:06:55.44
Would He? Did He?
00:06:55.64\00:06:58.28

He can, He could, He would...
Yes, He can, He could, He would
00:07:09.76\00:07:12.16
and He did! I know He can!
00:07:12.36\00:07:14.66
I know He can!
And I know He will!
00:07:14.86\00:07:17.63
And He did!
00:07:17.83\00:07:19.17
He did!
00:07:22.77\00:07:28.74
Amen!
00:07:31.41\00:07:33.01
Amen.
00:07:33.92\00:07:35.25
This next song we're going to
sing is on the Calvary project.
00:07:40.49\00:07:44.79
It's on the Calvary
project on 3ABN... that's right.
00:07:44.99\00:07:46.33
Danny wrote it and
it's called I'll Never Know.
00:07:46.36\00:07:50.43
Sorry.
00:07:50.63\00:07:52.43
I don't pretend
00:07:57.11\00:07:59.47
to comprehend
00:07:59.87\00:08:01.94
all the wonders
and all the mysteries
00:08:03.11\00:08:08.95
of why You gave
00:08:11.79\00:08:14.66
Your life to save
00:08:14.86\00:08:17.76
the ones You know
would nail You to the tree.
00:08:18.86\00:08:24.83
I've often read
00:08:27.20\00:08:29.74
the words You said
00:08:29.94\00:08:33.27
about
forgiveness and the failures
00:08:33.48\00:08:37.51
all erased.
00:08:37.71\00:08:41.38
I've understood
00:08:42.12\00:08:44.72
as best I could
00:08:45.12\00:08:48.82
but how could I
begin to fathom grace?
00:08:49.02\00:08:54.83
I'll never know
00:08:55.23\00:08:58.13
what made You leave Your throne.
00:08:58.33\00:09:02.44
I'll never know
00:09:02.64\00:09:05.71
why You chose Calvary.
00:09:05.91\00:09:10.25
And knowing who I am
00:09:10.45\00:09:13.01
I know that I
will never understand
00:09:13.21\00:09:18.02
why One like You
00:09:18.22\00:09:20.46
would die for one like me...
00:09:20.66\00:09:24.79
I'll never know
00:09:24.99\00:09:27.73
but forever I'll believe.
00:09:27.93\00:09:33.84
What kind of love would leave
00:09:34.24\00:09:37.41
a throne in heaven
00:09:37.61\00:09:40.68
to become like the ones
00:09:40.88\00:09:43.85
He came to save?
00:09:44.05\00:09:48.22
What power, what compassion
00:09:48.42\00:09:51.85
would hold Him to a cross
00:09:52.25\00:09:55.59
then raise Him up
00:09:55.99\00:09:57.66
triumphant from the grave?
00:09:57.86\00:10:03.80
I'll never know
00:10:06.10\00:10:09.14
what made You leave Your throne.
00:10:09.34\00:10:13.51
I'll never know
00:10:13.71\00:10:16.68
why You chose Calvary.
00:10:16.88\00:10:21.45
And knowing who I am
00:10:21.65\00:10:24.19
I know that I
will never understand
00:10:24.39\00:10:29.22
why One like You
00:10:29.42\00:10:31.73
would die for one like me.
00:10:31.93\00:10:36.00
I'll never know
00:10:36.40\00:10:39.70
but forever I'll
00:10:40.10\00:10:44.17
believe!
00:10:45.67\00:10:51.65
Forever and ever
00:10:54.95\00:10:57.45
I'll believe.
00:10:57.85\00:11:03.83
Amen!
00:11:06.76\00:11:08.53
Amen! Thank
you... that's beautiful!
00:11:08.93\00:11:11.67
Love you guys.
You know that, right?
00:11:12.17\00:11:13.87
All right. Thank you, Miss
Ladye Love. I'm gonna hug you!
00:11:14.07\00:11:16.14
I just shake
Reggie's hand and I hug you!
00:11:16.34\00:11:19.01
All right. Wow! What an incred-
ible gift of music they have
00:11:19.21\00:11:22.84
and an anointing
of the Holy Spirit!
00:11:23.35\00:11:25.08
Tonight is the place
to be I want to tell you
00:11:25.48\00:11:27.82
because the line-up of
folk that God has sent this way
00:11:28.02\00:11:31.55
is amazing. Our next
singer we're trying to give him
00:11:31.95\00:11:35.22
a start. I think he's
trying to get a start in music.
00:11:35.42\00:11:37.76
And he may be a little
bashful and a little shy.
00:11:37.96\00:11:40.93
I don't know if you've
ever heard of him before
00:11:41.13\00:11:42.93
but I'm going to introduce
him. Maybe for the first time
00:11:43.13\00:11:45.47
for some of you... his
name is Wintley Phipps.
00:11:45.67\00:11:47.64
Come on out, Pastor Phipps.
00:11:49.50\00:11:50.97
All right... all right!
00:11:54.24\00:11:55.94
We've been buddies for
over a quarter of a century
00:11:56.14\00:11:58.31
so you can say that when we've
been together for a long time.
00:11:58.51\00:12:02.05
What an incredible, incredible
gift God has given this man.
00:12:02.25\00:12:05.49
How many was here today for the
sermon? Wasn't that wonderful?
00:12:05.69\00:12:09.06
Amen! And God has anointed
you not only in your music
00:12:09.26\00:12:11.96
but your preaching and
the ministry that you have
00:12:12.16\00:12:14.46
and your Dream
Academy and all of that.
00:12:14.66\00:12:16.16
So you know we love
you and we support you.
00:12:16.36\00:12:18.10
Thank you, man. Thank
you for being here at 3ABN.
00:12:18.30\00:12:19.90
And you're going to be preaching
for us in just a little bit too.
00:12:20.10\00:12:22.00
That's right. All right.
All right... God bless you.
00:12:22.20\00:12:24.37
I hope this song
blesses you tonight.
00:12:24.77\00:12:26.68
Let there be peace on earth
00:12:47.50\00:12:53.47
and let it begin
00:12:53.67\00:12:57.11
with me.
00:12:57.31\00:13:00.94
Let there be peace on earth...
00:13:01.34\00:13:07.32
the peace
00:13:07.52\00:13:08.95
that was meant to be.
00:13:09.15\00:13:14.42
With God as
00:13:14.72\00:13:17.89
our Father
00:13:18.09\00:13:21.53
brothers all are we.
00:13:21.93\00:13:27.84
Let me walk
00:13:29.07\00:13:31.37
with my brother
00:13:31.57\00:13:35.68
in perfect
00:13:35.88\00:13:37.85
harmony.
00:13:38.05\00:13:42.65
Let peace
00:13:43.22\00:13:46.02
begin with me...
00:13:46.42\00:13:49.42
let this be
00:13:49.62\00:13:51.26
the moment now.
00:13:51.46\00:13:56.97
With every step
00:13:57.17\00:14:01.54
I take
00:14:01.74\00:14:03.57
let this be my solemn vow:
00:14:03.77\00:14:09.74
to take each moment
00:14:10.91\00:14:14.02
and live each moment
00:14:14.32\00:14:17.45
in peace
00:14:17.85\00:14:19.49
eternally!
00:14:19.69\00:14:25.03
Let there
00:14:25.33\00:14:28.03
be peace on earth
00:14:28.23\00:14:31.87
and let it begin
00:14:32.07\00:14:35.20
with me! Sing it with us:
00:14:35.40\00:14:38.44
Let there be peace on earth
00:14:38.64\00:14:41.94
and let it begin
00:14:42.14\00:14:45.61
with me. Oh, you sound
beautiful singing together!
00:14:45.81\00:14:48.92
Let there be peace on earth...
00:14:50.05\00:14:56.02
the peace that was meant to be.
00:14:56.22\00:15:02.00
Beautiful!
00:15:02.20\00:15:03.53
With God as
00:15:03.57\00:15:06.70
our Father
00:15:06.90\00:15:10.81
brothers all are we.
00:15:10.97\00:15:16.91
Let me walk with my brother
00:15:17.88\00:15:23.79
in perfect harmony.
00:15:24.49\00:15:30.49
Let peace
00:15:31.86\00:15:34.90
begin with me;
00:15:35.10\00:15:38.33
let this be the moment now.
00:15:38.53\00:15:44.47
With every step
00:15:45.91\00:15:50.35
I take
00:15:50.55\00:15:52.31
let this be
00:15:52.51\00:15:54.38
my solemn vow:
00:15:54.58\00:15:59.55
to take each moment
00:15:59.95\00:16:03.32
and live each moment
00:16:03.53\00:16:06.73
in peace
00:16:06.93\00:16:08.36
eternally!
00:16:08.66\00:16:14.00
Let there
00:16:14.20\00:16:17.11
be peace on earth
00:16:17.31\00:16:20.91
and let it begin
00:16:21.11\00:16:27.12
with me!
00:16:27.92\00:16:33.82
Amen!
00:16:40.40\00:16:42.46
Praise the name of God!
00:16:45.60\00:16:47.70
I hope you enjoy this song.
00:16:48.10\00:16:49.50
It's a message
that is so beautiful.
00:16:49.70\00:16:51.77
It tells of our gratitude to
God for all He's done for us.
00:16:51.97\00:16:56.68
Listen to the
message in the song.
00:16:56.88\00:16:58.71
How can I say "thanks"
00:17:29.51\00:17:33.28
for all the things
00:17:36.18\00:17:39.02
You have done for me?
00:17:39.22\00:17:42.96
Things so undeserved
00:17:43.89\00:17:48.86
yet You gave
00:17:49.86\00:17:52.17
to prove Your love for me.
00:17:52.37\00:17:56.94
The voices of a million angels
00:17:57.61\00:18:02.38
could not express
00:18:03.18\00:18:05.75
my gratitude!
00:18:06.15\00:18:09.82
All that I am
00:18:10.02\00:18:12.05
and ever hope to be:
00:18:12.25\00:18:18.16
I owe it all to Thee.
00:18:18.79\00:18:24.73
To God
00:18:25.33\00:18:28.74
be the glory!
00:18:28.94\00:18:33.17
To God
00:18:33.38\00:18:35.94
be the glory!
00:18:36.14\00:18:40.52
To God be the glory
00:18:41.02\00:18:46.55
for the things
00:18:46.76\00:18:49.22
He hath done.
00:18:49.42\00:18:53.83
With His blood
00:18:54.03\00:18:57.23
He has saved me;
00:18:57.43\00:19:00.87
with His power
00:19:01.07\00:19:03.91
He has raised me.
00:19:04.11\00:19:08.21
To God
00:19:08.41\00:19:11.71
be the glory
00:19:11.91\00:19:15.02
for the things He hath done!
00:19:15.22\00:19:21.12
Just let me live
00:19:21.92\00:19:25.96
my life
00:19:26.26\00:19:28.96
and let it be pleasing,
00:19:29.16\00:19:31.83
Lord, to Thee.
00:19:32.23\00:19:36.24
And should I
gain... gain any praise
00:19:36.44\00:19:42.21
let it go to
00:19:42.61\00:19:44.51
Calvary...
00:19:44.91\00:19:50.69
Calvary!
00:19:50.89\00:19:55.12
Oh, with His blood
00:19:55.42\00:20:01.36
He has saved me;
00:20:01.56\00:20:05.40
with His power
00:20:05.60\00:20:08.30
He has raised me.
00:20:08.50\00:20:12.71
To God
00:20:12.91\00:20:16.11
be the glory
00:20:16.31\00:20:19.65
for the things
00:20:19.85\00:20:22.32
He hath done!
00:20:22.52\00:20:26.49
To God be
00:20:26.69\00:20:31.29
the glory
00:20:31.49\00:20:34.00
for the things...
00:20:34.20\00:20:36.77
for all the things...
00:20:37.17\00:20:40.34
for all the things
00:20:40.54\00:20:43.47
He hath done!
00:20:43.67\00:20:49.64
Amen! Amen!
00:21:00.86\00:21:03.16
Praise the Lord! Thank you!
00:21:03.56\00:21:05.66
Think what it would've
sounded like if it was the song
00:21:06.26\00:21:08.90
he was supposed to do. I think
they surprised you with that.
00:21:09.10\00:21:12.53
No... OK... that's good. But
it was a great one absolutely.
00:21:12.73\00:21:15.57
Thank you so much. Wow!
What an incredible voice!
00:21:15.77\00:21:18.47
We didn't think it would be
fair to put a singer after that
00:21:18.87\00:21:21.74
so we rearranged
things a little bit...
00:21:22.14\00:21:24.18
'cause who would want
to sing after that? Right?
00:21:24.38\00:21:26.68
I wouldn't... for sure.
00:21:27.08\00:21:28.48
So what we've done:
we've asked NAPS to come out.
00:21:28.68\00:21:31.62
How many love the group NAPS?
You know who NAPS are, right?
00:21:31.82\00:21:34.16
From Oakwood? All
right... here we go.
00:21:34.52\00:21:36.79
We've got Ezrica Bennett.
All right... here we go.
00:21:36.99\00:21:39.76
Come out Ezrica.
We've got your group
00:21:39.96\00:21:41.56
and got a couple of my
twins. We're triplets, actually.
00:21:41.76\00:21:44.67
The three of us right
here. OK... here you go.
00:21:44.87\00:21:47.14
Here you go. Now...
anybody... whoever it was.
00:21:47.34\00:21:50.77
One of you was
talking smart to me today.
00:21:50.97\00:21:52.51
If you want to do that,
come and talk to these guys,
00:21:52.71\00:21:55.01
all right?
They're my bodyguards.
00:21:55.21\00:21:56.71
No... we're so glad to
have you all here today.
00:21:57.11\00:21:58.75
Come on up here. You're going
to be. Now Darla's not here...
00:21:58.95\00:22:01.55
she's not here... so
you're the spokesperson, right?
00:22:01.75\00:22:03.55
I am today, yes. We're so happy.
NAPS is such an incredible
00:22:03.75\00:22:06.89
organization. For those of
you that doesn't know the group
00:22:07.09\00:22:10.83
that doesn't
mean naps like this.
00:22:11.03\00:22:12.63
But your NAPS is busy.
Tell us what NAPS stands for.
00:22:13.03\00:22:15.73
NAPS stands for the National
Association for the Prevention
00:22:15.93\00:22:19.07
of Starvation. All
right. And so you all do what?
00:22:19.27\00:22:22.00
Well, we're student missionaries
that travel the country
00:22:22.40\00:22:24.97
and the world
spreading the love of God.
00:22:25.17\00:22:27.01
I guess it takes on many
faces so whether it's through
00:22:27.41\00:22:30.48
feeding programs or
evangelistic meetings.
00:22:30.68\00:22:33.21
We go to schools and
juvenile detention centers.
00:22:33.42\00:22:35.78
Our primary goal is to
just let people know that
00:22:35.98\00:22:38.75
Jesus loves them first of all
00:22:38.95\00:22:40.96
and that He's
coming for them soon.
00:22:41.16\00:22:42.76
All right... that's wonderful.
Now do you have any projects
00:22:42.96\00:22:46.09
because each year when you
come... In fact, they always
00:22:46.29\00:22:48.46
come. They volunteer. They're
teaching our young people.
00:22:48.66\00:22:50.80
Isn't that
great? They come up here
00:22:51.00\00:22:52.73
and so when your
children are in good hands...
00:22:52.93\00:22:55.37
And quite a few of the
group aren't up here right now
00:22:55.57\00:22:58.51
because they're actually
back there taking care of the
00:22:58.71\00:23:01.14
young folk. But ya'll come
and you're such a blessing.
00:23:01.34\00:23:03.58
So usually we ask
you if you have a project
00:23:03.78\00:23:06.28
that we can help financially.
00:23:06.48\00:23:07.82
So... do you have
something this year?
00:23:07.85\00:23:09.95
Absolutely. The work
is always continuing.
00:23:10.15\00:23:12.12
By the grace of God two things
are coming up really soon.
00:23:12.52\00:23:16.19
This month actually
we're leaving to go to Ethiopia
00:23:16.79\00:23:19.79
Africa. We were
there about 16 years ago.
00:23:20.00\00:23:22.90
And it was a privilege, it
was a blessing to be over there.
00:23:23.10\00:23:26.43
Hundreds of people
were able to be baptized
00:23:26.63\00:23:28.84
and there are tremendous
testimonies like meeting
00:23:29.04\00:23:32.64
a prostitute on the way
to the interior of Africa.
00:23:32.84\00:23:35.81
Telling her about God's
love she drops everything
00:23:36.11\00:23:39.18
and comes with us on the mission
00:23:39.38\00:23:40.72
and gets baptized by
the end of the mission.
00:23:40.82\00:23:42.88
It's truly a
blessing. Praise the Lord! Yes!
00:23:43.08\00:23:45.35
Praise the Lord!
Absolutely! Praise the Lord!
00:23:45.55\00:23:47.02
OK, so what we want to do...
If the Holy Spirit's impressing
00:23:47.22\00:23:50.26
and you would like to
support NAPS you can make out...
00:23:50.46\00:23:52.46
Can they just make it
to NAPS? They can... yes.
00:23:52.76\00:23:54.63
A check. If for some
reason... Those of you watching
00:23:54.83\00:23:58.13
we'll try to put up an address.
If nothing else, you can just
00:23:58.33\00:24:01.50
put a check to 3ABN
but put NAPS in the corner
00:24:01.70\00:24:04.84
and we promise it'll get to
you 'cause we love these folks.
00:24:05.04\00:24:07.24
And we support you and
have for many many years
00:24:07.64\00:24:09.61
because we've seen what great
examples you are to young people
00:24:09.81\00:24:13.48
and to some of us
older folk around the world.
00:24:13.68\00:24:16.18
You're an incredible group of
folks. I'm going to turn it over
00:24:16.38\00:24:18.09
to you right now. And
I know some of the folks
00:24:18.29\00:24:20.06
have got things to say
and you've got some slides
00:24:20.26\00:24:21.89
and stuff... pictures
for us, right? Absolutely.
00:24:22.09\00:24:23.49
Thank you so much. And truly
we really want to thank you.
00:24:23.89\00:24:27.03
Doc sends his best to
you. He wishes he could be here
00:24:27.23\00:24:29.86
and Darla as well. I've
been a part of this organization
00:24:30.07\00:24:33.94
for the last 9 years and so
I've been to 3ABN a good amount
00:24:34.14\00:24:36.87
of times. And we just want
to thank you for your support,
00:24:37.07\00:24:40.28
for your prayers,
your encouragement.
00:24:40.48\00:24:42.14
The testimonies that we're going
to share... they're not NAPS's
00:24:42.34\00:24:44.91
testimonies,
they're OUR testimonies.
00:24:45.11\00:24:47.05
And so we just wanted to extend
a true and genuine thank you
00:24:47.25\00:24:50.89
for all that you've done
for this organization and also
00:24:51.09\00:24:53.62
for being an
example. Oh, thank you.
00:24:53.82\00:24:55.72
Absolutely. Praise
the Lord! Yes... Amen!
00:24:55.92\00:24:58.79
Praise the Lord!
00:25:00.30\00:25:01.63
And as I mentioned,
we're student missionaries
00:25:01.83\00:25:04.20
that travel the country and the
world spreading the love of God.
00:25:04.40\00:25:07.34
By the grace of God,
recently NAPS has broadened
00:25:07.74\00:25:10.81
its horizons here
in the United States.
00:25:11.01\00:25:13.07
We have now a southern
campus. Our original campus
00:25:13.27\00:25:16.54
is in Huntsville, Alabama.
00:25:16.75\00:25:18.08
But now we have a southern
campus in Sawyerville, Alabama.
00:25:18.11\00:25:20.78
And on that campus
there are a couple of things.
00:25:21.08\00:25:23.45
There is an academy,
an elementary school.
00:25:23.65\00:25:26.32
There is a wellness center and
coming soon there's going to be
00:25:26.52\00:25:29.72
an evangelistic
school by the grace of God.
00:25:29.92\00:25:32.39
The area that the
southern campus is seated in
00:25:33.29\00:25:36.63
is an area that
truly needs the gospel.
00:25:36.83\00:25:39.90
There is depravity
not only academically
00:25:40.30\00:25:42.77
but medically and spiritually.
00:25:42.97\00:25:44.61
And so one of the reasons
for creating the school is
00:25:44.81\00:25:48.44
because the children out there,
they're more than capable.
00:25:48.64\00:25:52.31
Anyone can learn. Everyone
is capable of doing great things
00:25:52.51\00:25:56.18
but they just don't have
the means and the resources
00:25:56.38\00:25:58.92
to realize their excellence.
00:25:59.12\00:26:00.86
In 2014 they took the
statistics from the ACT
00:26:01.26\00:26:05.86
and 37%... only
37% of the students
00:26:06.16\00:26:12.13
met the English requirement.
00:26:12.33\00:26:13.77
Only 2.6% met
the math requirement
00:26:13.97\00:26:17.51
and 4.3% of the students
met the science requirement.
00:26:17.71\00:26:22.44
It's not because
they're not capable...
00:26:22.84\00:26:24.68
but they just don't have the
experience or they don't have...
00:26:24.88\00:26:27.92
With all of the schools
that are failing in that area
00:26:28.12\00:26:30.25
they don't have the
right schools to be excellent.
00:26:30.45\00:26:33.62
So God led us to
open the school NALA.
00:26:33.82\00:26:36.59
the NAPS Abundant Life Academy.
00:26:36.79\00:26:38.63
And it's truly
been a blessing so far.
00:26:38.83\00:26:40.70
This year we had
one student come in
00:26:41.06\00:26:43.13
and she was functioning 4 grade
levels beneath her potential.
00:26:43.33\00:26:46.63
So she's coming in
and she's only reading
00:26:47.04\00:26:49.57
at second or so grade level
but she's in somewhere around
00:26:49.77\00:26:53.11
the sixth or seventh grade.
00:26:53.31\00:26:54.64
But by the grace of
God... and our teachers there...
00:26:54.84\00:26:57.71
I mean, they're my
friends so maybe I'm biased
00:26:57.91\00:26:59.55
but they're great!
They love their students.
00:26:59.75\00:27:02.32
They work with
them; they pray for them.
00:27:02.52\00:27:04.62
Within this year alone
she's been able to increase
00:27:04.82\00:27:07.76
three grade levels, and
that's truly a blessing.
00:27:07.96\00:27:10.43
But not only that, because
it is great to be academically
00:27:10.63\00:27:13.70
successful, but we know that
there is something even greater:
00:27:13.90\00:27:16.56
that's finding success
in the spiritual realm.
00:27:16.77\00:27:19.40
This young lady told her
principal, Miss Nedd, that
00:27:19.60\00:27:22.80
coming to this school
changed her life forever.
00:27:23.00\00:27:25.87
She feels so close to God.
She has a relationship with
00:27:26.07\00:27:29.24
Him now. And not only
that, her family who's not
00:27:29.44\00:27:32.08
Christian also see the
difference. And of course
00:27:32.28\00:27:34.48
I mean I guess as a parent
you would notice the difference
00:27:34.68\00:27:36.65
when your kid is like:
"I'll wash the dishes. "
00:27:36.85\00:27:38.69
Right? But they see that
she's learning to love the Lord.
00:27:38.89\00:27:42.56
So by the grace of God
that's one of the updates.
00:27:42.76\00:27:45.46
NALA is continuing to
be a light in that area.
00:27:45.66\00:27:49.36
But also on the southern campus
we have our wellness center.
00:27:49.76\00:27:54.04
So the
testimonies don't stop there.
00:27:54.24\00:27:56.50
At the wellness center we've
been able to meet many needs
00:27:57.01\00:28:00.81
because also the healthcare
system is also failing
00:28:01.01\00:28:04.11
in that community.
But we see time and again
00:28:04.31\00:28:07.25
while people come with
health disparities they leave
00:28:07.45\00:28:11.52
knowing that the Lord has
so much more in store for them.
00:28:12.79\00:28:16.86
So, yes, there was
one person who came,
00:28:17.36\00:28:19.76
and she came for
stress. She wanted stress relief
00:28:19.96\00:28:23.00
but when she left she
wasn't of the SDA faith
00:28:23.20\00:28:26.33
but during our worship we also
teach about the fundamental...
00:28:26.74\00:28:30.27
the fundamental
doctrines of the SDA faith
00:28:30.57\00:28:33.68
and she left passionate.
She said: "I'm going to share
00:28:33.88\00:28:36.24
this with my pastor and
I'm also going to share it
00:28:36.44\00:28:38.68
with my church members. "
00:28:38.88\00:28:40.25
And until this day she is
still asking for resources
00:28:40.45\00:28:44.22
so she can share the different
doctrines that she learned.
00:28:44.42\00:28:47.66
So she shared about the Sabbath
and also the state of the dead,
00:28:47.82\00:28:51.06
about the
destruction of the wicked...
00:28:51.26\00:28:53.29
All the things that we know...
she's sharing it at her church.
00:28:53.50\00:28:56.87
So the blessings keep
coming. And also another miracle
00:28:57.07\00:29:01.60
that I know when
you avail yourself
00:29:01.80\00:29:05.27
to God's work He
gives you resources.
00:29:05.47\00:29:08.01
He gives you insight and
wisdom on how to bless others.
00:29:08.21\00:29:11.05
Our president and founder
of NAPS, Dr. Anthony Paul,
00:29:11.45\00:29:14.92
he has traveled. In
over 25 years of research
00:29:15.32\00:29:19.89
he's been able to acquire
plants from different places
00:29:20.09\00:29:25.26
in the...all over the world.
00:29:25.46\00:29:27.03
And this... it's a natural
remedy of many different types
00:29:27.53\00:29:33.50
of herbs and plants. And when
people consistently take this
00:29:33.70\00:29:38.41
natural remedy
it has given a 100%
00:29:38.61\00:29:43.01
success rate for hypertension.
00:29:43.21\00:29:45.38
People who were on
medication no longer are!
00:29:45.58\00:29:48.08
It drastically decreases.
People who have been on diabetes
00:29:48.28\00:29:53.12
are no longer on medication.
00:29:53.32\00:29:54.72
People who suffer from insomnia,
who have arthritic issues
00:29:54.92\00:29:59.26
are no longer
needing medication.
00:29:59.46\00:30:01.66
So we praise God for the
different testimonies that
00:30:01.86\00:30:04.33
continue to come
in. Amen! Amen! And then
00:30:04.53\00:30:06.90
my friend Beta... well,
Adrian... he's going to tell us
00:30:07.30\00:30:10.94
about another
program that's developing
00:30:11.14\00:30:14.08
or in the process
of being developed.
00:30:14.28\00:30:15.71
Yeah, so in addition to the
schools and also to the wellness
00:30:15.91\00:30:18.61
center this upcoming
year the Lord has inspired us
00:30:18.81\00:30:21.32
this August to start
a very special program.
00:30:21.52\00:30:23.52
We're starting a medical
missionary training program.
00:30:23.92\00:30:26.25
And it's very
important in the area we are in
00:30:26.65\00:30:28.69
because these people are desper-
ate to know the love of God.
00:30:28.89\00:30:31.53
So the Lord has
inspired us to open the doors
00:30:32.03\00:30:34.16
to train young people to
come out and learn how to work
00:30:34.36\00:30:36.93
in these dark areas in
rural Alabama and Mississippi.
00:30:37.13\00:30:39.90
What's special about this
program is when these young
00:30:40.40\00:30:42.30
people complete the program
they'll have an opportunity
00:30:42.50\00:30:44.64
to work with the
South Central Conference
00:30:44.84\00:30:46.37
and plant churches
in those same areas.
00:30:46.57\00:30:48.54
So keep us in your prayers
as we start this program.
00:30:48.74\00:30:50.95
And if any of you guys
are interested, please visit
00:30:51.15\00:30:52.48
our website: napsoc.org
00:30:52.58\00:30:55.35
Yes. And when you go
there you'll be able to find out
00:30:55.55\00:30:57.62
more information. Amen!
00:30:57.82\00:30:59.15
When I grow up I
want to be just like you.
00:30:59.25\00:31:01.12
And outside of the southern
campus another part of our
00:31:03.53\00:31:06.73
organization is we
travel throughout the country
00:31:06.93\00:31:09.00
and the world as I
previously mentioned.
00:31:09.20\00:31:10.97
Right here we have
Avery, and he's the director
00:31:11.37\00:31:14.40
of something called YOD which
stands for Year of Dedication
00:31:14.60\00:31:17.94
where students take a
year of their life and give it
00:31:18.34\00:31:20.74
to the Lord in
full-time service.
00:31:20.94\00:31:22.64
So Avery has some testimonies
and some statistics from what
00:31:22.84\00:31:25.95
by the grace of God he and
his team have been able to do.
00:31:26.15\00:31:28.68
Amen. And so I've been
able to travel with NAPS
00:31:28.88\00:31:31.25
to seven different states
working in 14 major cities
00:31:31.65\00:31:34.49
this year ever since August.
00:31:34.69\00:31:36.29
And I want you guys to
know we've been making a serious
00:31:36.49\00:31:38.09
impact for the kingdom.
We've been able to go to over
00:31:38.29\00:31:40.96
fifty different
schools encouraging the youth
00:31:41.16\00:31:43.33
just to work for the
Lord and never be discouraged.
00:31:43.53\00:31:46.43
We've also been going to
juvenile detention centers.
00:31:46.84\00:31:48.80
We've been able to minister at
10 different juvenile detention
00:31:49.00\00:31:51.01
centers letting the youth that
are there know that they can
00:31:51.21\00:31:53.21
still have a chance
with Christ in their life.
00:31:53.41\00:31:55.58
And we also have
done a lot of canvassing.
00:31:55.78\00:31:57.75
We've canvassed
over 200 hours this year
00:31:57.95\00:32:00.72
and passed out almost
4,000 pieces of literature
00:32:00.92\00:32:03.18
about Jesus. Just
letting the people know
00:32:03.39\00:32:05.59
that He's coming back very soon.
00:32:05.79\00:32:07.72
And two months ago we
actually returned from Haiti
00:32:08.12\00:32:10.59
on a mission trip. And
what was so special about
00:32:10.79\00:32:12.83
this mission trip is that last
year we were in Haiti again...
00:32:13.03\00:32:15.63
last year we were in
Haiti the first time.
00:32:16.03\00:32:17.83
And so we returned
this year to build a church.
00:32:18.03\00:32:20.10
And I want you guys to know
that the church has been built:
00:32:20.30\00:32:22.14
the first SDA
church in the area! Amen!
00:32:22.34\00:32:25.81
And also a testimony is
the place where we were staying
00:32:26.01\00:32:29.14
the mayor of the
city, he saw NAPS last year
00:32:29.34\00:32:32.11
and he saw all of
the work that we did.
00:32:32.31\00:32:33.65
And now this year when
we came back he and his wife
00:32:33.85\00:32:36.42
both got baptized. And
I'm sure that many more will
00:32:36.62\00:32:39.55
follow suit and join the
SDA faith because of him.
00:32:39.75\00:32:42.69
Thank you. Amen! Amen!
00:32:42.89\00:32:45.19
And truly it's a
privilege working for the Lord.
00:32:45.39\00:32:47.46
I don't know... I
think God is kind of cool.
00:32:47.86\00:32:49.46
He does things that
remind us how much He loves us.
00:32:49.66\00:32:53.17
And I think one of those
is those moments you know that
00:32:53.77\00:32:56.37
God truly is leading your path.
00:32:56.57\00:32:58.51
Right here I want to
introduce two of my friends.
00:32:58.71\00:33:01.41
This is Odaly and this
is my other friend Brianna.
00:33:01.81\00:33:04.81
And the testimony of
Odaly is that 18 years ago
00:33:05.01\00:33:08.38
we were in Costa
Rica doing a mission trip.
00:33:08.58\00:33:10.75
Eighteen years ago! I
was like a toddler then!
00:33:10.95\00:33:13.22
And... Me, too!
00:33:13.42\00:33:15.32
And by the grace of God
the team... they were able to
00:33:17.76\00:33:21.56
meet Odaly, and she
is going to briefly share
00:33:21.76\00:33:24.07
in her language what
happened when she saw NAPS
00:33:24.27\00:33:27.34
eighteen years ago.
00:33:27.54\00:33:28.87
And Brianna's going to
give a paraphrase in English.
00:33:28.90\00:33:31.31
Odaly is so thankful
because eighteen years ago
00:34:16.75\00:34:19.59
NAPS came to Costa Rica and
God led her to work with them.
00:34:19.79\00:34:23.22
She was able to do Bible
studies, church programs,
00:34:23.43\00:34:26.16
and she was even able to
help with the baptisms there.
00:34:26.36\00:34:29.13
And now 18 years later
God has brought her back
00:34:29.33\00:34:31.70
to NAPS and she was able to
do two mission trips this year,
00:34:31.90\00:34:34.74
one to New Orleans
and one to Minnesota.
00:34:34.94\00:34:36.94
And she is so thankful because
she loves working for the Lord.
00:34:37.34\00:34:40.11
And she also loves NAPS because
it grows her spiritual life.
00:34:40.51\00:34:43.75
Amen! Absolutely.
00:34:43.95\00:34:46.38
And so there are
so many testimonies!
00:34:46.58\00:34:48.72
To be honest, I don't
even know... Like if we were to
00:34:48.92\00:34:51.55
sit down and just tell you
all the things we've seen God do
00:34:51.75\00:34:54.66
I think it would
take - like - a lifetime!
00:34:54.86\00:34:56.79
So God is just SO amazing.
00:34:56.99\00:34:59.36
But, you know, instead
of just saying it to you
00:34:59.56\00:35:02.33
we actually... we made a book
and we have something special
00:35:02.53\00:35:05.80
for you. Oh... OK... good.
00:35:06.00\00:35:07.60
We are so excited! This is
our second testimonial book.
00:35:07.80\00:35:11.54
It's called The Power of
One: Testimonies of God's Power
00:35:11.74\00:35:14.88
on the Mission Field.
00:35:15.08\00:35:16.41
And this is an 8-week devotional
and it has different topics
00:35:16.64\00:35:19.91
like miracles of
God and true education.
00:35:20.12\00:35:22.88
Each week has mission
stories, Bible stories,
00:35:23.18\00:35:26.39
and even songs. And we
actually just picked this up
00:35:26.59\00:35:29.89
just a few hours ago and we
wanted to give our first copy
00:35:30.09\00:35:32.56
to you. Oh wow! Thank
you! And we just want to say
00:35:32.76\00:35:34.40
thank you 'cause these
testimonies wouldn't be here
00:35:34.60\00:35:36.43
without your support.
Thank you... thank you!
00:35:36.63\00:35:38.00
Thank you! This is wonderful!
00:35:41.00\00:35:42.80
I'm going to keep
this and cherish it.
00:35:43.41\00:35:45.97
Maybe... let's
see if you signed it.
00:35:46.17\00:35:48.21
OK, I'm going to give it back
and you all sign it before you.
00:35:48.41\00:35:51.05
You're going to sign it
and that way I can go home
00:35:51.25\00:35:53.21
and say: "I know these
folk... I saw them on TV! "
00:35:53.42\00:35:55.52
"I saw them on 3ABN. "
00:35:55.72\00:35:57.62
Listen, thank you so
much for what you do.
00:35:57.82\00:35:59.59
It's true: they could
give testimony for hours
00:36:00.19\00:36:03.29
and hours of what this
group... And thanks to Dr. Paul
00:36:03.49\00:36:07.63
for so many years. He's been
coming 15, 18... I don't know
00:36:07.83\00:36:10.83
how many years
they've been coming up.
00:36:11.03\00:36:12.97
And all the work that you
have done around the world.
00:36:13.37\00:36:15.70
You'll only know
when you get to heaven.
00:36:15.90\00:36:17.87
People will come
up and say: "Thank you
00:36:18.07\00:36:20.18
for what you did for me. I'm
here today because of NAPS. "
00:36:20.38\00:36:23.51
Thank you. God bless you all.
00:36:23.71\00:36:25.41
When the NAPS group's come up
for years I go play basketball
00:36:31.19\00:36:34.29
with them so they
brought me a plaque.
00:36:34.49\00:36:36.66
Now somebody'll say:
"You shouldn't say this
00:36:37.06\00:36:39.33
in public, " but it's
true and we love each other.
00:36:39.53\00:36:42.43
They brought me a
plaque I have in my office
00:36:42.63\00:36:44.70
and it says: "Thanks
for your support of NAPS.
00:36:45.10\00:36:48.04
And because of your
unusual athletic abilities
00:36:48.24\00:36:50.91
we name you an
honorary Negro man. "
00:36:51.07\00:36:53.27
So I'm an honorary Negro man.
00:36:54.14\00:36:56.64
So I'm so happy about it I
go to see Pastor C.A. Murray,
00:36:57.15\00:37:00.98
right? And this is
like a year or two later.
00:37:01.18\00:37:03.55
I say: "Pastor Murray, look.
I want you to know something. "
00:37:03.75\00:37:06.65
I say: "We've got
something in common.
00:37:06.92\00:37:08.26
I said: "I'm a
Negro man. " And he said:
00:37:08.29\00:37:09.86
"We're not Negroes any more. "
00:37:10.26\00:37:11.83
And I said:
"Well... what are we? "
00:37:12.23\00:37:14.96
I said: "Well, if we're
not Negroes, what are we? "
00:37:15.16\00:37:17.57
He said: "Well we're black
or we're African-American. "
00:37:17.77\00:37:20.27
So I had to talk to
NAPS two or three years ago
00:37:20.67\00:37:23.14
and I said: "Now I
don't want to seem ungrateful
00:37:23.34\00:37:25.47
'cause I'm really
happy, it's a great honor
00:37:25.67\00:37:27.54
but Pastor Murray says
that we're African-Americans
00:37:27.94\00:37:31.65
and I'd like another plaque. "
00:37:31.85\00:37:33.55
So with my hand up they
brought me another plaque
00:37:35.05\00:37:37.79
and so now it says I'm an
honorary African-American man.
00:37:37.99\00:37:41.76
So thank you... there you go.
00:37:41.96\00:37:44.49
Thank you NAPS. All right!
00:37:44.69\00:37:47.30
It's my privilege right
now to bring out... I think
00:37:47.70\00:37:50.07
my daughter
Melody is scheduled next.
00:37:50.27\00:37:52.73
And are you here, Melody?
00:37:53.13\00:37:54.90
She's probably
embarrassed after all of that.
00:37:55.10\00:37:57.21
You might... You're
used to it, aren't you?
00:37:57.41\00:38:01.14
Or you don't get used to that?
00:38:01.64\00:38:03.45
I love you, honey.
00:38:03.65\00:38:05.31
I love you.
00:38:06.41\00:38:07.75
And I'm so thankful for
all the babies. You and Greg
00:38:07.78\00:38:10.75
and eight grandchildren.
00:38:10.95\00:38:12.75
And it's so great
to have them up here.
00:38:12.95\00:38:14.39
When Melody was born we
named her Melody in faith
00:38:14.59\00:38:18.39
that God would give
her musical abilities.
00:38:18.59\00:38:20.40
And He's done that. We
said: "Lord, we'll raise her
00:38:20.93\00:38:23.37
in an atmosphere free of
any other type of music. "
00:38:23.57\00:38:25.60
So her mother and I and her
two sisters: Lisa and Rhonda,
00:38:25.80\00:38:29.70
we sang together and
had a little ministry
00:38:29.90\00:38:32.54
till her mother and Melody
were in an accident in 1982.
00:38:32.74\00:38:35.84
And her mother was
killed on June 30, 1982.
00:38:36.24\00:38:39.25
And we continued to sing
and Melody's continued to sing
00:38:39.45\00:38:42.88
for the Lord. And so I'm
so thankful that you're here.
00:38:43.08\00:38:45.39
And I just love
hearing you sing and minister
00:38:45.99\00:38:48.72
and I know I'm not
prejudiced... surely.
00:38:48.92\00:38:50.53
But you have such a
beautiful gift and talent
00:38:50.93\00:38:53.23
and I look forward to... What
are you going to sing for us
00:38:53.63\00:38:55.23
tonight? Written
in Red. Beautiful!
00:38:55.43\00:38:57.90
In letters of crimson
00:39:11.28\00:39:15.65
God wrote His love
00:39:16.05\00:39:19.85
with the same hand that suffered
00:39:20.26\00:39:24.66
and bled.
00:39:24.86\00:39:28.76
Giving all that He
00:39:29.36\00:39:35.10
had to give
00:39:35.30\00:39:37.41
the message
00:39:37.61\00:39:39.71
so easily read.
00:39:40.21\00:39:46.21
It said:
00:39:46.78\00:39:48.85
"I love you,
00:39:49.52\00:39:54.16
I love you. "
00:39:54.86\00:39:58.63
That's
00:39:59.03\00:40:00.40
what Calvary says.
00:40:00.60\00:40:06.53
"I love you,
00:40:08.14\00:40:13.38
I love you! "
00:40:14.11\00:40:19.41
"I love you
00:40:20.28\00:40:22.82
and it's written in red! "
00:40:23.22\00:40:29.16
Down through the ages
00:40:36.77\00:40:41.40
God wrote His love
00:40:41.80\00:40:45.71
on a hillside
00:40:46.11\00:40:47.84
so long long ago.
00:40:48.04\00:40:53.98
And as for you and for me
00:40:54.38\00:40:59.29
Jesus died
00:40:59.49\00:41:03.56
and love's greatest story
00:41:03.96\00:41:08.36
was told:
00:41:08.56\00:41:13.20
"I love you,
00:41:14.10\00:41:18.04
I love you! "
00:41:19.24\00:41:22.34
That's
00:41:22.74\00:41:24.18
what Calvary says!
00:41:24.38\00:41:30.35
"I love you,
00:41:32.82\00:41:36.42
I love you! "
00:41:37.63\00:41:42.93
"I love you... "
00:41:43.47\00:41:48.40
Oh, precious
00:41:48.60\00:41:52.87
is the flow
00:41:53.34\00:41:57.35
that makes me
00:41:57.55\00:42:01.58
white as snow!
00:42:01.78\00:42:07.49
No other fount
00:42:07.69\00:42:12.59
I know...
00:42:12.79\00:42:15.96
nothing but the blood...
00:42:16.16\00:42:19.40
the blood of Jesus!
00:42:19.60\00:42:24.57
'I love you,
00:42:25.87\00:42:29.54
I love you! "
00:42:30.28\00:42:33.68
That's what Calvary
00:42:33.88\00:42:38.75
says!
00:42:38.95\00:42:42.49
"I love you,
00:42:44.13\00:42:47.80
I love you! "
00:42:48.60\00:42:54.60
"I love you
00:42:55.24\00:42:57.54
and it's written
00:42:57.94\00:43:01.44
in red. "
00:43:02.24\00:43:08.18
Won't you sing this with me?
00:43:44.22\00:43:45.79
So take it
00:47:16.97\00:47:20.57
to the Lord
00:47:20.77\00:47:23.20
in prayer.
00:47:23.41\00:47:29.34
I want to invite my dear
friends Ladye and Reggie out.
00:47:30.51\00:47:33.11
Let's sing this song... a
great old Andraé Crouch tune...
00:47:37.02\00:47:40.12
sing Through It All.
00:47:40.62\00:47:42.42
I've had many years of sorrow,
00:47:45.63\00:47:48.96
had questions for tomorrow,
00:47:50.37\00:47:54.67
there've been times I
didn't know right from wrong.
00:47:54.87\00:48:00.81
But in every situation
00:48:02.74\00:48:07.08
God gave me
blessed consolation...
00:48:07.48\00:48:11.29
that my trials only
come to make me strong.
00:48:11.99\00:48:17.93
Been a lot of places,
00:48:20.70\00:48:23.57
seen many faces,
00:48:24.60\00:48:28.60
but there've been
times I felt so all alone.
00:48:28.80\00:48:34.68
But in that lonely hour,
00:48:36.01\00:48:40.22
that precious lonely hour,
00:48:40.42\00:48:44.05
Jesus let me know I was His own!
00:48:44.45\00:48:50.36
Sing it together:
00:48:50.56\00:48:51.89
Through it all...
00:48:52.06\00:48:55.93
through it all
00:48:56.13\00:48:59.30
I've learned to trust in Jesus,
00:48:59.50\00:49:03.00
I've learned to trust in God!
00:49:03.41\00:49:06.47
Through it
all... Through it all...
00:49:06.68\00:49:10.31
through it all
00:49:11.55\00:49:14.52
I've learned to depend
00:49:14.92\00:49:18.25
upon His Word.
00:49:18.45\00:49:22.59
I thank God for the mountains
00:49:27.66\00:49:30.73
and I thank Him for the valleys.
00:49:31.67\00:49:35.24
I thank Him for the storms
00:49:35.64\00:49:38.07
He's brought me through.
00:49:38.27\00:49:41.34
'Cause if I'd
never had a problem
00:49:43.24\00:49:47.42
I wouldn't know that
He could solve them...
00:49:47.82\00:49:51.19
I wouldn't know
what faith in His Word
00:49:51.39\00:49:54.76
would do.
00:49:55.56\00:49:57.73
That's why we're
singing: Through it all...
00:49:57.93\00:50:02.50
through it all
00:50:03.26\00:50:06.50
I've learned to trust in Jesus,
00:50:06.90\00:50:10.27
I've learned to trust in
God! Sing: Through it all...
00:50:10.67\00:50:14.81
Through it all...
00:50:15.01\00:50:18.58
through it all
00:50:18.98\00:50:22.08
I've learned to depend
00:50:22.28\00:50:25.69
upon His Word. Sing it
one more time; sing it again:
00:50:25.89\00:50:29.82
Through it all...
00:50:30.49\00:50:34.16
through it all
00:50:34.56\00:50:37.97
I've learned to trust in Jesus,
00:50:38.17\00:50:41.54
oh yes, I've
learned to trust in God.
00:50:41.74\00:50:45.01
Oh, through it all...
00:50:45.21\00:50:49.78
through it all
00:50:50.28\00:50:53.62
I've learned to
depend upon His Word...
00:50:53.82\00:50:59.25
Sing that again:
00:50:59.45\00:51:00.79
I've learned to depend
00:51:01.79\00:51:04.99
upon His Word... Sing that again
here we go: I've learned...
00:51:05.19\00:51:08.86
I've learned to depend
00:51:09.66\00:51:14.27
upon His Word.
00:51:14.57\00:51:20.54
Amen!
00:51:26.45\00:51:28.02
Do you do? Want to
do I Will Serve Thee?
00:51:28.52\00:51:32.72
You know what
key you do that in?
00:51:32.92\00:51:34.26
One of 'em... we'll
do it in one of 'em.
00:51:34.42\00:51:36.59
OK.
00:51:36.79\00:51:38.19
I will serve Thee
00:51:45.00\00:51:49.60
because I love Thee!
00:51:50.17\00:51:56.04
You have given
00:51:56.58\00:52:01.82
life to me!
00:52:02.02\00:52:07.96
I was nothing
00:52:09.89\00:52:15.86
before You
00:52:16.26\00:52:19.00
found me.
00:52:19.40\00:52:23.64
You have given
00:52:23.84\00:52:29.38
life to me!
00:52:29.58\00:52:35.48
Heartaches,
00:52:38.95\00:52:43.89
broken pieces,
00:52:44.19\00:52:50.17
ruined lives
00:52:51.43\00:52:56.24
are why
00:52:56.44\00:52:58.14
You died on
00:52:58.54\00:53:03.28
Calvary.
00:53:03.48\00:53:06.92
Your touch
00:53:07.12\00:53:10.92
was what
00:53:11.32\00:53:13.36
I longed for!
00:53:13.56\00:53:19.53
You have
00:53:20.46\00:53:22.90
given life
00:53:23.10\00:53:28.64
to me!
00:53:28.84\00:53:34.74
Heartaches,
00:54:25.66\00:54:30.00
broken pieces,
00:54:30.70\00:54:36.84
ruined lives
00:54:37.61\00:54:42.81
are why
00:54:43.01\00:54:44.91
You died on
00:54:45.31\00:54:49.98
Calvary.
00:54:50.29\00:54:53.59
Your touch
00:54:53.89\00:54:57.46
was what
00:54:57.76\00:54:59.66
I longed for.
00:54:59.86\00:55:05.63
You have
00:55:06.20\00:55:08.40
given life
00:55:08.60\00:55:13.81
to me...
00:55:14.21\00:55:20.15
You have
00:55:22.45\00:55:25.25
given
00:55:25.65\00:55:29.82
life
00:55:30.03\00:55:32.93
to me!
00:55:33.76\00:55:39.70
Thank you! That is so beautiful!
00:55:48.58\00:55:50.71
We're about to close
out. I love soundtracks
00:55:51.11\00:55:54.32
and I use them and I
love the orchestration
00:55:54.48\00:55:56.22
but there's something special
about just getting around
00:55:56.42\00:55:58.35
the piano - Amen - and
singing. It kind of reminds me
00:55:58.55\00:56:01.36
of my childhood. I grew up
in a family - a lot of you did -
00:56:01.56\00:56:04.09
where you had piano players.
My mother and my brother
00:56:04.29\00:56:06.73
and then some of us
played guitar, bass,
00:56:06.93\00:56:08.66
and get around... And
we didn't sound like this
00:56:08.86\00:56:10.37
by any means, but there's
something special about it.
00:56:10.57\00:56:12.77
And so thank you all for
what you do. Come on up here.
00:56:13.34\00:56:15.80
And Tim...
beautiful! Thank you so much.
00:56:16.00\00:56:18.04
We're... We only have
about a minute left, and I'd
00:56:18.44\00:56:20.88
like to take this time. We're
going... Pastor Rosario, Jay,
00:56:21.08\00:56:24.91
is going to be up here. And then
after that we're going to have
00:56:25.11\00:56:26.82
Pastor Wintley Phipps
to close out the evening.
00:56:27.02\00:56:29.72
But what a
spiritual evening it's been.
00:56:29.92\00:56:31.45
I'm here and we have
some fun. Is it OK to have fun
00:56:31.65\00:56:34.12
a little bit? I know I kid a lot
00:56:34.32\00:56:36.06
and I do a lot of things, but
I think Christians ought to be
00:56:36.26\00:56:38.19
the happiest most
excited people on planet earth.
00:56:38.39\00:56:41.23
And so whatever I
say take it in good...
00:56:41.53\00:56:44.43
Just be like my dad and
say: "I don't think he knows
00:56:44.63\00:56:46.84
any better. " Excuse me...
"I don't think he's all there. "
00:56:47.04\00:56:51.11
Somebody's say something
about me. "Is that your boy? "
00:56:51.31\00:56:54.78
He'd say: "Yeah, but you
can tell by his little face
00:56:54.98\00:56:56.71
he's not all
there. " He'd say...
00:56:56.91\00:56:58.91
So I kind of grew up... My
dad had a great sense of humor.
00:56:59.11\00:57:01.92
He was a great guy, so
take it that we love you.
00:57:02.12\00:57:04.95
And now's a good time - a
great time. If there's something
00:57:05.35\00:57:08.96
between you and Jesus that's
keeping you from that close
00:57:09.16\00:57:11.59
relationship I'm just going to
invite you to submit and commit
00:57:11.79\00:57:14.50
your life to Him and say:
"Lord, I WILL serve You. "
00:57:14.70\00:57:17.20
And I promise you God will do
great and mighty and marvelous
00:57:17.70\00:57:20.84
things in you and through you.
00:57:21.04\00:57:23.30
He died for you... made
a plan of salvation for you
