Coming to you from
3ABN Worship Center
00:00:11.64\00:00:14.91
for God's glory
00:00:14.94\00:00:16.95
3ABN's 32nd Anniversary special.
00:00:16.98\00:00:22.68
Well, we want to
welcome every one of you
00:00:22.72\00:00:24.95
to this 32nd
Anniversary celebration.
00:00:24.99\00:00:28.32
Danny, 32 years.
00:00:28.36\00:00:29.72
I know that seems
impossible, doesn't it?
00:00:29.76\00:00:31.73
I know and we have got
00:00:31.76\00:00:34.00
some of the most
incredible footage
00:00:34.03\00:00:37.40
to show you.
00:00:37.43\00:00:38.83
We're gonna start
out with pictures,
00:00:38.87\00:00:40.64
I know we're not going to
do that right this minute,
00:00:40.67\00:00:43.17
but I want you to know
that we are going to have a,
00:00:43.20\00:00:47.18
it's a very humbling experience
00:00:47.21\00:00:49.11
for Danny Shelton to
show something special...
00:00:49.14\00:00:50.48
Oh, thanks.
00:00:50.51\00:00:51.85
But you know, Danny,
something that I noticed
00:00:51.88\00:00:54.58
you were a cutest little
thing when you were young.
00:00:54.62\00:00:57.09
Oh, I've heard that
before. What happened?
00:00:57.12\00:00:59.99
You were cute when
you're little, what happened?
00:01:00.02\00:01:01.62
Okay, I'm used to that.
00:01:01.66\00:01:02.99
But 32 years, Danny,
can you believe that?
00:01:03.02\00:01:06.46
No, it's a long time.
We give God the credit.
00:01:06.49\00:01:10.10
Absolutely, because when
we started this ministry,
00:01:10.13\00:01:12.67
my brother is
here, my sister's here
00:01:12.70\00:01:14.60
which will be talked
00:01:14.64\00:01:15.97
a little bit
later on our family,
00:01:16.00\00:01:17.34
it was basically just family,
00:01:17.37\00:01:18.77
we had no idea
00:01:18.81\00:01:20.14
where it was going
and what it would do.
00:01:20.18\00:01:21.51
We just know the Lord
said build a television station
00:01:21.54\00:01:23.75
that would reach the world
with an undiluted three angels'
00:01:23.78\00:01:26.61
messages, one that would
counteract the counterfeit,
00:01:26.65\00:01:29.28
and we just began to go forward.
00:01:29.32\00:01:30.79
And never occurred
to me about failure,
00:01:30.82\00:01:33.39
I have to admit, I never
ever thought it wouldn't work.
00:01:33.42\00:01:36.42
I don't guess
you guys did either.
00:01:36.46\00:01:38.16
We just went forward
and took one day at a time
00:01:38.19\00:01:41.50
as the old song says.
00:01:41.53\00:01:42.86
And 32 years later,
00:01:42.90\00:01:44.47
by God's grace we're still here.
00:01:44.50\00:01:46.87
That's not so important
00:01:46.90\00:01:48.24
as the three angels'
messages are still going around
00:01:48.27\00:01:50.61
because I will guarantee you
00:01:50.64\00:01:52.31
32 years from now
should the Lord tarry,
00:01:52.34\00:01:54.74
we're not all gonna
be sitting here and talk
00:01:54.78\00:01:57.01
and many of us will be asleep.
00:01:57.05\00:01:58.61
And so, but that won't be
the important thing ain't it,
00:01:58.65\00:02:02.35
the important thing is 3ABN
00:02:02.38\00:02:04.05
is still giving the
message to the world,
00:02:04.09\00:02:06.09
that's really what's important
00:02:06.12\00:02:07.46
because sleep is just
for a brief moment, right.
00:02:07.49\00:02:10.26
So right now we're
happy that we're alive
00:02:10.29\00:02:12.09
and everybody here is,
00:02:12.13\00:02:13.46
so we want you to
look alive and happy today.
00:02:13.50\00:02:15.46
Why don't you quickly
introduce everybody some,
00:02:15.50\00:02:17.87
now this isn't our whole gang,
00:02:17.90\00:02:19.23
but this is a lot
of our leadership team
00:02:19.27\00:02:21.37
and folk and you introduce them.
00:02:21.40\00:02:22.80
Okay, I'm gonna start
right here on the bottom row
00:02:22.84\00:02:25.51
with Diane and Brian Hamilton
00:02:25.54\00:02:28.44
and next we have
Moses and Audrima Primo,
00:02:28.48\00:02:31.85
Brenda Walsh she's in the middle
00:02:31.88\00:02:33.21
in that beautiful red dress,
00:02:33.25\00:02:35.12
then we have
Kenny and Chris Shelton,
00:02:35.15\00:02:37.75
and Yvonne I'm hoping
I don't have brain freeze
00:02:37.79\00:02:40.86
like you were
talking about the other day,
00:02:40.89\00:02:43.02
Yvonne Lewis and
her son Jason Bradley.
00:02:43.06\00:02:46.49
Behind her is Pastor
Lomacang and Angie, then C.A.
00:02:46.53\00:02:51.43
and Irma Murray.
00:02:51.47\00:02:52.93
And then we have
Bruce and Tammy Chance,
00:02:52.97\00:02:56.81
Melody and Greg Firestone
00:02:56.84\00:03:00.08
and E.T. Everett, we
appreciate you so much,
00:03:00.11\00:03:02.51
this lady can play
the piano, can't she?
00:03:02.54\00:03:05.35
And behind her is Jay Christian,
00:03:05.38\00:03:07.75
the General
Manager of 3ABN Radio,
00:03:07.78\00:03:10.25
and beside him is
Svetlana his lovely bride
00:03:10.29\00:03:13.76
all the way from 3ABN Russia.
00:03:13.79\00:03:16.86
And then Greg Thompson,
00:03:16.89\00:03:18.66
Greg it is so good to
have you with us today.
00:03:18.69\00:03:21.16
John Dinzey and then
next to him is Dee Hildebrand,
00:03:21.20\00:03:26.23
my bestest friend
Shelley and J.D. Quinn
00:03:26.27\00:03:29.74
and then next to them
00:03:29.77\00:03:31.17
our very own Jill
and Greg Morikone.
00:03:31.21\00:03:34.41
Great to have
this group with us.
00:03:34.44\00:03:36.34
And this is Danny Shelton
in case you don't know him.
00:03:36.38\00:03:39.51
This is Mollie Steenson.
00:03:39.55\00:03:41.02
And in the control
room in just a little bit
00:03:41.05\00:03:42.85
we have some other
folk that they didn't,
00:03:42.88\00:03:46.15
they like being behind the
camera better than in front
00:03:46.19\00:03:48.72
but we decided
to show them anyway.
00:03:48.76\00:03:50.46
We're just going
to the control room.
00:03:50.49\00:03:52.19
I'm gonna make sure
00:03:52.23\00:03:53.56
this is not just a
humbling experience for me.
00:03:53.60\00:03:55.93
So some of you
all maybe humble too
00:03:55.96\00:03:58.33
by what you see a
little bit later on.
00:03:58.37\00:04:00.77
But we're all humble when
we come before God, right.
00:04:00.80\00:04:03.41
That's true.
00:04:03.44\00:04:04.77
So today what we're gonna do,
this gonna be a long program,
00:04:04.81\00:04:06.31
we're not gonna try
to tell you it isn't.
00:04:06.34\00:04:08.44
We have a tremendous
amount of footage and rolls
00:04:08.48\00:04:11.58
and we literally want to
go over the impact of 3ABN
00:04:11.61\00:04:16.18
not individuals God
uses us in spite of us.
00:04:16.22\00:04:19.15
But we literally have some folk
00:04:19.19\00:04:21.66
who have sent us
some great messages
00:04:21.69\00:04:24.66
some 30 seconds,
00:04:24.69\00:04:26.23
what would you call it congrats?
00:04:26.26\00:04:27.83
For 32 years of ministry
00:04:27.86\00:04:29.50
and we're gonna
be showing those off
00:04:29.53\00:04:30.97
and on in between regular rolls.
00:04:31.00\00:04:33.23
People that's in ministry
and people in the church
00:04:33.27\00:04:35.47
that we respect.
00:04:35.50\00:04:36.84
But we're just here to support
00:04:36.87\00:04:38.41
the Seventh-day
Adventist Church,
00:04:38.44\00:04:39.77
the work that they're doing.
00:04:39.81\00:04:41.14
We're not a church.
00:04:41.18\00:04:42.51
We're not even
legally part of the church.
00:04:42.54\00:04:44.51
We're 501c3 of independent
or supporting ministry,
00:04:44.55\00:04:49.42
a non profit organization.
00:04:49.45\00:04:51.35
But our goal is
to work together,
00:04:51.39\00:04:52.72
we're all one.
00:04:52.75\00:04:54.09
So our goal is to get
00:04:54.12\00:04:55.46
the three angels'
messages to the world
00:04:55.49\00:04:57.39
so that Jesus can come back.
00:04:57.43\00:04:58.79
He says when this gospel
of the kingdom shall go where?
00:04:58.83\00:05:02.23
Into all the
world, not part of it,
00:05:02.26\00:05:04.60
to all the world,
then he can come back.
00:05:04.63\00:05:06.87
Well, we're
trying to do our part
00:05:06.90\00:05:08.27
but we couldn't
do it without you.
00:05:08.30\00:05:10.01
So first of all we
want to thank you today,
00:05:10.04\00:05:12.61
first of all Lord Jesus Christ
00:05:12.64\00:05:14.78
and then you the
supporters of 3ABN.
00:05:14.81\00:05:17.21
Those who pray and
financially support us,
00:05:17.25\00:05:20.38
thank you for making it
possible for what is happening
00:05:20.42\00:05:23.35
literally this
gospel of the kingdom.
00:05:23.39\00:05:25.32
And we'll show you
00:05:25.35\00:05:26.69
as we're going
through the course of today.
00:05:26.72\00:05:28.12
We're gonna through a
little bit of history right now.
00:05:28.16\00:05:30.06
Some of you may
have seen this before
00:05:30.09\00:05:32.26
but then we want to show you
00:05:32.29\00:05:33.63
what God has been doing
for the last 30 some years
00:05:33.66\00:05:36.80
and what is his
great plans for the future.
00:05:36.83\00:05:38.93
Yes.
00:05:38.97\00:05:40.30
And so evangelism,
00:05:40.34\00:05:41.67
so we want to
center in today on nothing.
00:05:41.70\00:05:44.11
If nothing else evangelism,
evangelism, evangelism.
00:05:44.14\00:05:48.08
Because that's really
00:05:48.11\00:05:49.44
where each and every one of us
00:05:49.48\00:05:50.81
is called to take to
bear literally our testimony.
00:05:50.85\00:05:55.68
It's the greatest
asset that we have.
00:05:55.72\00:05:58.09
And so if we do nothing
00:05:58.12\00:05:59.85
but share what
Jesus has done for us
00:05:59.89\00:06:01.36
you know what,
00:06:01.39\00:06:02.72
nobody can argue
with you about that,
00:06:02.76\00:06:04.39
nobody can
challenge you about it,
00:06:04.43\00:06:06.43
because they don't know
00:06:06.46\00:06:07.86
but when you show
lift up Jesus he says,
00:06:07.90\00:06:10.97
'I if I be lifted
up from this earth
00:06:11.00\00:06:13.03
will draw a few people to me."
00:06:13.07\00:06:14.54
Oh, man. Oh,
they're awake today.
00:06:14.57\00:06:16.57
Hope you are too at home.
00:06:16.60\00:06:17.94
"Will draw all man unto me."
00:06:17.97\00:06:20.21
So I'm looking
forward to this Mollie Su.
00:06:20.24\00:06:23.45
We've got history
00:06:23.48\00:06:25.28
that we want to show and photos.
00:06:25.31\00:06:27.35
Okay.
00:06:27.38\00:06:28.72
And we're gonna
look at some photos.
00:06:28.75\00:06:30.09
But, Danny, when we get
to end of today's program,
00:06:30.12\00:06:33.62
this is something that we know,
this is just the beginning.
00:06:33.66\00:06:36.52
I don't think we
ain't seen nothing yet
00:06:36.56\00:06:39.06
of what God is gonna
do through this ministry.
00:06:39.09\00:06:41.76
So let's look at the
history of 3ABN in photos.
00:06:41.80\00:06:47.17
Oh, that's my mother and father.
00:06:47.20\00:06:48.54
That's about 1959,
00:06:48.57\00:06:50.24
that's our little place on
00:06:50.27\00:06:51.71
812 West Worden
Street, West Frankfort.
00:06:51.74\00:06:53.61
That's my brothers
and all wrestling there.
00:06:53.64\00:06:57.28
Now see I told
you how cute he was.
00:06:57.31\00:06:59.51
Now there you go
and there's little Tammy
00:06:59.55\00:07:01.25
at the time.
00:07:01.28\00:07:02.62
That's okay,
00:07:02.65\00:07:03.99
and I think that's
the first bicycle I got,
00:07:04.02\00:07:05.95
it was a new one
00:07:05.99\00:07:07.32
and I actually
got a new bicycle.
00:07:07.36\00:07:08.79
That's I don't know,
00:07:08.82\00:07:10.16
look at that
shirt my mother made
00:07:10.19\00:07:11.53
that out of
dress, woman's dress.
00:07:11.56\00:07:13.40
She worked at a dress factory.
00:07:13.43\00:07:15.06
I think that was
when I was in high school
00:07:15.10\00:07:16.80
like the sophomore or
something in high school.
00:07:16.83\00:07:19.47
And that's K. Melody's mother
00:07:19.50\00:07:22.44
as Ronnie on the right,
00:07:22.47\00:07:23.81
me next to her
and Tommy over there.
00:07:23.84\00:07:25.77
That's a picture of Melody
00:07:25.81\00:07:27.71
look quite a bit
like your mother too.
00:07:27.74\00:07:29.78
Don't see? Pretty.
00:07:29.81\00:07:31.15
All right, so here
we go The Shelton trio
00:07:31.18\00:07:33.05
and that's with Jerry
Bears in the center there.
00:07:33.08\00:07:36.05
That's Melody when
she's about a year old.
00:07:36.08\00:07:37.95
Is that cute or what?
00:07:37.99\00:07:40.39
That was so cute.
00:07:40.42\00:07:41.76
And there is Melody
and Rhonda and Lisa.
00:07:41.79\00:07:44.43
Think you were about three,
00:07:44.46\00:07:45.79
you and Baby Faith
look a lot alike Melody.
00:07:45.83\00:07:48.06
And there's
Melody with her mother
00:07:48.10\00:07:49.43
when first time we recorded
in the studio in the 70s.
00:07:49.46\00:07:52.87
And I don't know who
that is with the beard,
00:07:52.90\00:07:54.97
that's Lisa and
Melody and that's me.
00:07:55.00\00:07:57.94
And this is us
way back in early 80s
00:07:57.97\00:08:00.78
I would say Melody
00:08:00.81\00:08:02.71
not even sure
where's TV station.
00:08:02.74\00:08:05.08
This was a cover of
a duet we did together
00:08:05.11\00:08:08.58
I think when you were 12.
00:08:08.62\00:08:10.35
And this is at TV station
somewhere I'm not sure where.
00:08:10.39\00:08:14.62
And this is just I
guess pictures of us singing.
00:08:14.66\00:08:17.89
This was after
your mother was killed
00:08:17.93\00:08:19.26
in an automobile accident.
00:08:19.29\00:08:20.83
This is at the
General Conference Session,
00:08:20.86\00:08:22.56
1985, actually.
00:08:22.60\00:08:26.20
Here's another
one with TV station
00:08:26.23\00:08:27.80
I think that's Melody and Lisa.
00:08:27.84\00:08:31.07
And so I'm not sure where all
these pictures where we were,
00:08:31.11\00:08:34.64
what we're doing but it shows
we were in ministry together
00:08:34.68\00:08:38.35
before 3ABN after
her mother was killed
00:08:38.38\00:08:41.08
in an automobile accident.
00:08:41.12\00:08:42.45
Melody and I
continued to sing for the Lord
00:08:42.48\00:08:46.05
and through that singing,
00:08:46.09\00:08:48.82
I saw the power of
Christian television.
00:08:48.86\00:08:51.66
So I wondered why isn't
there a television station
00:08:51.69\00:08:54.60
giving the three
angels' messages to the world
00:08:54.63\00:08:56.67
and then 1984 is
like this impression came,
00:08:56.70\00:08:59.53
why don't you do it?
00:08:59.57\00:09:00.90
Why don't you go forward
00:09:00.94\00:09:02.27
and build the television station
00:09:02.30\00:09:03.64
to reach the world.
00:09:03.67\00:09:05.01
So by God's grace
00:09:05.04\00:09:06.37
that's what's
happened, Mollie Su.
00:09:06.41\00:09:07.74
That's right.
00:09:07.78\00:09:09.11
God's impressed
upon your heart you know.
00:09:09.14\00:09:10.48
When people come to work here,
00:09:10.51\00:09:13.48
when I'm interviewing
people to work here at 3ABN.
00:09:13.52\00:09:16.62
I give them a
little history of 3ABN
00:09:16.65\00:09:19.02
and part of that is that God,
00:09:19.05\00:09:21.16
by the power of his
spirit impressed upon your heart
00:09:21.19\00:09:23.76
to build a television network
00:09:23.79\00:09:25.19
that would reach the whole world
00:09:25.23\00:09:26.59
with the undiluted
three angels' messages.
00:09:26.63\00:09:28.83
And I tell him the
proofs in the pudding
00:09:28.86\00:09:30.57
either it was God or it wasn't.
00:09:30.60\00:09:32.27
And this is 32 years
later and it has come to pass.
00:09:32.30\00:09:36.64
Well, we praise the Lord.
00:09:36.67\00:09:38.01
We're gonna go
to some other rolls,
00:09:38.04\00:09:39.87
I think this one says
it's an Uplink construction
00:09:39.91\00:09:42.74
so we're gonna look at this.
00:09:42.78\00:09:44.85
All right here's the property
that Fonda Summers donated.
00:09:44.88\00:09:49.08
And here is the
grater that we rented
00:09:49.12\00:09:51.95
and this one Kenny
and I was out building.
00:09:51.99\00:09:54.79
Maybe Ronnie was there too.
00:09:54.82\00:09:56.16
So this is what's
commonly known as the Uplink,
00:09:56.19\00:09:58.99
so this was around
1985, when we were doing this.
00:09:59.03\00:10:03.67
So we were carpenters
00:10:03.70\00:10:05.37
so we had to do
all of our own work
00:10:05.40\00:10:07.47
at the time.
00:10:07.50\00:10:08.84
I'm glad we got
David Turner and others.
00:10:08.87\00:10:10.21
Now they can do a lot of it.
00:10:10.24\00:10:12.91
At the time it's
just the Shelton Brothers
00:10:12.94\00:10:15.14
and we even got Tommy out there.
00:10:15.18\00:10:16.51
And he was not a carpenter
00:10:16.54\00:10:17.88
but he was
willing to come and help.
00:10:17.91\00:10:19.68
This is the
first Uplink Satellite.
00:10:19.71\00:10:22.85
The dish is 9
meters or 10 meters
00:10:22.88\00:10:25.35
as big 30 some feet.
00:10:25.39\00:10:27.86
And this is the little shack
00:10:27.89\00:10:29.22
that we actually
started in the first
00:10:29.26\00:10:31.06
we went on the
air with nothing else
00:10:31.09\00:10:32.93
but that little shack,
00:10:32.96\00:10:34.30
then we eventually got
this finished and built
00:10:34.33\00:10:36.63
and put in a little studio.
00:10:36.67\00:10:38.50
And here some I guess
pictures of early sets
00:10:38.53\00:10:43.00
at the Uplink Station.
00:10:43.04\00:10:45.07
And so here is the aerial view
00:10:45.11\00:10:48.24
and that's still
there by the way,
00:10:48.28\00:10:49.94
Radio is still there
00:10:49.98\00:10:51.58
and we're moving
out most of the other
00:10:51.61\00:10:53.52
after 32 years
00:10:53.55\00:10:55.12
we're moving out
00:10:55.15\00:10:56.48
into some other
production facilities.
00:10:56.52\00:10:58.95
Because unlike
some of the rest of us
00:10:58.99\00:11:00.86
are getting a
little bit worn out so,
00:11:00.89\00:11:03.43
but we're working on it.
00:11:03.46\00:11:04.96
So anyway that's a
little bit of the past and...
00:11:04.99\00:11:07.26
Yeah, unfolding of that dream
and that vision that you had.
00:11:07.30\00:11:11.47
We're seeing it come to
pass right before our eyes.
00:11:11.50\00:11:14.80
And we've got some pictures
of some old staff members,
00:11:14.84\00:11:19.24
let's look at those.
00:11:19.27\00:11:20.61
Okay.
00:11:20.64\00:11:21.98
Well, I like
we're just all thankful
00:11:22.01\00:11:23.65
just to be here at 3ABN
00:11:23.68\00:11:25.61
that we have a tool like
00:11:25.65\00:11:27.85
this that we can
use to reach the world
00:11:27.88\00:11:30.35
and there're so many
people that call us and write us
00:11:30.39\00:11:33.46
and are becoming more
aware all the time of 3ABN
00:11:33.49\00:11:37.06
and what we're
trying to do here.
00:11:37.09\00:11:38.89
And I think we all
think it's a privilege
00:11:38.93\00:11:40.50
just to be able to set up
here and talk to these people.
00:11:40.53\00:11:43.80
If you use as your excuse
that you cannot forgive her
00:11:43.83\00:11:47.27
because she
hasn't apologized to you,
00:11:47.30\00:11:49.44
then what you have just
done is you have just sinned
00:11:49.47\00:11:53.11
against the word of God
00:11:53.14\00:11:54.51
because the word
says for you to forgive
00:11:54.54\00:11:56.58
and that you know that word.
00:11:56.61\00:11:57.95
So now you must be
obedient to the word.
00:11:57.98\00:12:00.38
You know, sin is
disobedience to the word
00:12:00.42\00:12:03.05
or transgression of the law.
00:12:03.08\00:12:04.89
So you put
yourself in double jeopardy,
00:12:04.92\00:12:06.89
I think how you used
that a little earlier.
00:12:06.92\00:12:08.92
Now not only do
you have to forgive
00:12:08.96\00:12:11.39
even though you were wrong.
00:12:11.43\00:12:12.76
But now you must
ask God to forgive you
00:12:12.79\00:12:15.63
for offending his
word so it's double now.
00:12:15.66\00:12:19.97
You forgive and then
you ask God to forgive you.
00:12:20.00\00:12:23.07
And then and only then
do you have clean hands
00:12:23.10\00:12:25.81
and a pure heart and I
think that's where we are.
00:12:25.84\00:12:28.51
People that used to be friends
00:12:28.54\00:12:30.45
and people that we
haven't spoken to in churches
00:12:30.48\00:12:32.75
that we used to
go to or whatever
00:12:32.78\00:12:34.35
because somebody
offended us, or hurt us,
00:12:34.38\00:12:36.79
or trespassed against us.
00:12:36.82\00:12:38.19
See this is
something I said earlier,
00:12:38.22\00:12:40.32
if this person trespass
against you, sins against you,
00:12:40.36\00:12:42.92
if they say
things that are horrible
00:12:42.96\00:12:45.73
that intrigue you terrible.
00:12:45.76\00:12:47.53
And what you need to do
is you need to forgive them
00:12:47.56\00:12:48.96
seven times seventy.
00:12:49.00\00:12:50.33
You forgive them
00:12:50.37\00:12:51.93
well, I'm waiting on them
to come and bow down to me.
00:12:51.97\00:12:56.14
You forgive them of their
debt, they owe you that debt,
00:12:56.17\00:12:58.77
you forgive them of
their debts is what you do.
00:12:58.81\00:13:01.18
It's wonderful to see how
the people are responding.
00:13:01.21\00:13:03.61
There's many times
when you get a phone call
00:13:03.65\00:13:07.12
here I'm working as a
master control operator
00:13:07.15\00:13:09.65
and the phone call comes in
00:13:09.68\00:13:11.49
and somebody that's
just really in need of prayer
00:13:11.52\00:13:15.19
and they phone in.
00:13:15.22\00:13:18.03
Sometimes it seems like
there are on their last hope.
00:13:18.06\00:13:21.23
And 3ABN is on the air
00:13:21.26\00:13:23.13
and they make that phone call
00:13:23.16\00:13:25.30
and we pray with them
and it's wonderful to see
00:13:25.33\00:13:27.64
sometimes they cry
all over the phone.
00:13:27.67\00:13:31.54
Hi, my name is Moses Primo,
00:13:31.57\00:13:34.04
and I'm very happy
to be here with 3ABN.
00:13:34.08\00:13:37.41
We came in July
and we started to work,
00:13:37.45\00:13:40.75
I work for the
engineering department.
00:13:40.78\00:13:43.39
And my family
and I are very happy
00:13:43.42\00:13:45.95
to be here working for the Lord.
00:13:45.99\00:13:49.12
I would like to now
introduce my two sons.
00:13:49.16\00:13:53.80
My name is Moses Jr.
00:13:53.83\00:13:55.53
and I thank God for
dying on the cross for us.
00:13:55.56\00:14:01.00
And this is Daniel.
00:14:01.04\00:14:02.67
And why do you thank for Daniel?
00:14:02.70\00:14:04.77
I thank for loving us.
00:14:04.81\00:14:07.74
Loving us, huh.
00:14:07.78\00:14:09.21
Let's sing a song about love.
00:14:09.24\00:14:13.82
Jesus love me!
00:14:13.85\00:14:16.15
This I know
00:14:16.18\00:14:18.59
For the Bible tells me
00:14:18.62\00:14:22.09
so Little ones to Him belong
00:14:22.12\00:14:28.26
They are weak but He is strong
00:14:28.30\00:14:33.10
Yes, Jesus loves me!
00:14:33.13\00:14:37.87
Yes, Jesus loves me!
00:14:37.91\00:14:42.61
Yes, Jesus loves me!
00:14:42.64\00:14:46.68
The Bible tells me so
00:14:46.72\00:14:51.75
I've filled a variety
of positions here at 3ABN.
00:14:51.79\00:14:54.96
Most of the time I
work in production,
00:14:54.99\00:14:57.13
but sometimes I
work in master control.
00:14:57.16\00:14:59.46
I've also had a little
training on the video toaster.
00:14:59.49\00:15:02.93
Most of all, I'm
thankful this season
00:15:02.96\00:15:05.33
for having a Savior that
would come and die for me.
00:15:05.37\00:15:08.77
I'm also thankful
for just the breath
00:15:08.80\00:15:10.74
that he gives us
each and everyday.
00:15:10.77\00:15:13.64
I'm thankful for the family
that we have here at 3ABN.
00:15:13.68\00:15:17.31
And I'd like to read a
passage from the Bible,
00:15:17.35\00:15:20.52
it's found in Psalms 136,
00:15:20.55\00:15:23.55
''I'll give thanks unto
the Lord for he is good,
00:15:23.59\00:15:26.25
for His mercy endureth forever.
00:15:26.29\00:15:28.46
I'll give thanks
unto the God of Gods,
00:15:28.49\00:15:30.79
for His mercy endureth forever.
00:15:30.83\00:15:32.93
I'll give thanks
unto the Lord of Lords,
00:15:32.96\00:15:34.76
for His mercy endureth forever.
00:15:34.80\00:15:37.17
I'd like to wish
everyone a Happy Holiday
00:15:37.20\00:15:40.27
and a Happy Thanksgiving.
00:15:40.30\00:15:42.24
Hello, my name
is Clarence Larson,
00:15:42.27\00:15:43.91
this is my lovely wife Tammy.
00:15:43.94\00:15:46.37
We have much to be
thankful for this year.
00:15:46.41\00:15:50.08
I think of being
thankful for the opportunity
00:15:50.11\00:15:53.15
to work in the Lord's ministry.
00:15:53.18\00:15:55.02
Tammy's camera
operator, I'm an engineer.
00:15:55.05\00:15:57.92
I've had an opportunity to
go all across the United States.
00:15:57.95\00:16:01.59
Even as far as Russia
and touched the people
00:16:01.62\00:16:04.09
there as a result of
support by people like you.
00:16:04.13\00:16:09.00
And the 3ABN family,
00:16:09.03\00:16:11.93
the programs that are
produced here at 3ABN,
00:16:11.97\00:16:15.00
the unity that we have
00:16:15.04\00:16:16.50
whenever we
produced those programs
00:16:16.54\00:16:18.74
and the
opportunity for those programs
00:16:18.77\00:16:20.68
to minister to the people.
00:16:20.71\00:16:22.34
Hi, my name is Dee Hilderbrand,
00:16:22.38\00:16:24.95
and I'm a
production assistant here
00:16:24.98\00:16:26.58
at Three Angels Broadcasting.
00:16:26.61\00:16:28.78
There are so many things
00:16:28.82\00:16:30.15
that I am
thankful for this year.
00:16:30.19\00:16:32.32
First of all, I just
started at Three Angels
00:16:32.35\00:16:34.89
so I'm very
thankful for the Lord
00:16:34.92\00:16:36.69
to bringing me
safely out here from Oregon.
00:16:36.73\00:16:39.83
I'm thankful for my
Grant Pass Church family
00:16:39.86\00:16:42.20
that supported me on this move.
00:16:42.23\00:16:44.90
And I'm thankful to be here
at Three Angels Broadcasting.
00:16:44.93\00:16:48.47
I was also recently widowed,
00:16:48.50\00:16:50.24
so to have the blessing
of the Three Angels family
00:16:50.27\00:16:54.18
to start the day
with in prayer and worship
00:16:54.21\00:16:57.38
and to have them
here is a blessing to me.
00:16:57.41\00:17:00.42
Hi, I'm Bobby Davis, I'm
senior editor here at 3ABN.
00:17:00.45\00:17:03.79
And this year when I sat down
00:17:03.82\00:17:06.76
to think about the
things that I was grateful.
00:17:06.79\00:17:08.66
I came up with a
huge list of things
00:17:08.69\00:17:11.09
and it's so nice
not just once a year
00:17:11.13\00:17:14.76
but many times
during the year to sit down
00:17:14.80\00:17:17.20
and actually write
out a gratitude list.
00:17:17.23\00:17:19.53
I believe that an
attitude of gratitude
00:17:19.57\00:17:21.37
is something that really
helps our outlook on life,
00:17:21.40\00:17:24.47
at least it does for me.
00:17:24.51\00:17:26.61
It's been a
terrific year here at 3ABN.
00:17:26.64\00:17:28.88
A lot of new
programs have come on the air.
00:17:28.91\00:17:31.18
There've been
some real challenges
00:17:31.21\00:17:33.35
and some real blessings,
especially spiritual blessings.
00:17:33.38\00:17:37.95
This year as we
worked on Satellite seminar
00:17:37.99\00:17:41.32
not only did we see the blessing
00:17:41.36\00:17:43.39
that it was to you our viewers,
00:17:43.43\00:17:45.76
but we received
that same blessing also.
00:17:45.79\00:17:48.26
Many of us who
worked on the program
00:17:48.30\00:17:51.07
were listening you know.
00:17:51.10\00:17:52.47
And it's such a
joy to be able to work
00:17:52.50\00:17:55.74
in the field of television
doing the work for the Lord.
00:17:55.77\00:18:00.68
Everyday when I wake up,
it's a joy to come into work.
00:18:00.71\00:18:03.95
It's the one thing that
I truly believe the Lord
00:18:03.98\00:18:07.42
gave me was that
the desire of my heart
00:18:07.45\00:18:09.65
was always to work in television
00:18:09.68\00:18:11.72
and to get a chance to do it
00:18:11.75\00:18:13.36
with some purpose and a meaning
00:18:13.39\00:18:16.16
with results that
can be eternal results,
00:18:16.19\00:18:18.53
it's such a blessing.
00:18:18.56\00:18:19.93
And I could remember
many instances of praying,
00:18:19.96\00:18:22.40
we had family worship of
course morning and evening.
00:18:22.43\00:18:25.17
And I can remember I
guess just Christianity,
00:18:25.20\00:18:27.97
my father leadership
00:18:28.00\00:18:30.11
as in the home
was very important.
00:18:30.14\00:18:32.24
I can remember as a little child
00:18:32.27\00:18:33.61
like being sick
00:18:33.64\00:18:34.98
and my dad coming into my room.
00:18:35.01\00:18:36.34
You know, I've
been laying on my bed,
00:18:36.38\00:18:37.91
and of course he
would pray with me.
00:18:37.95\00:18:39.48
But he would also sing to me...
00:18:39.51\00:18:40.95
Is that right? Sing
Jesus loves me to me.
00:18:40.98\00:18:42.65
And I remember even to this day
00:18:42.68\00:18:44.62
I remember how
he calmed me down,
00:18:44.65\00:18:46.22
made me feel so much better.
00:18:46.25\00:18:47.66
So it is very
important to have a father.
00:18:47.69\00:18:49.42
My name is John Dinzey,
00:18:49.46\00:18:50.79
and I worked for
pastoral ministry.
00:18:50.83\00:18:52.19
And it's such a
blessing to work at 3ABN.
00:18:52.23\00:18:54.90
I'll tell about that in a moment
00:18:54.93\00:18:56.26
but I would like to
introduce to you my wife Idalia.
00:18:56.30\00:18:58.57
We have been married
for three and a half years
00:18:58.60\00:19:00.10
and we thank the Lord
for the many blessings
00:19:00.14\00:19:01.97
he has given us,
and has helped us
00:19:02.00\00:19:04.04
through the trials
and difficulties of life.
00:19:04.07\00:19:06.24
And we are very
grateful also to the Lord
00:19:06.27\00:19:09.24
for our son Samuel Elias,
00:19:09.28\00:19:11.35
he has been with us for
a year and three months,
00:19:11.38\00:19:13.08
the Lord had gave him to us.
00:19:13.11\00:19:15.38
And he's such a blessing
00:19:15.42\00:19:16.75
and had brought a
lot of joy to our hearts.
00:19:16.79\00:19:20.36
My name is Idalia, and
I work in master control.
00:19:20.39\00:19:23.69
And I just praise the
Lord for this opportunity
00:19:23.73\00:19:26.59
that we have to
testify of his wonders.
00:19:26.63\00:19:30.50
I just want to thank the
Lord for this holiday season.
00:19:30.53\00:19:35.60
For some reason or another,
00:19:35.64\00:19:36.97
it tends to for
families to draw together
00:19:37.01\00:19:40.01
and just show our
love for one another.
00:19:40.04\00:19:44.05
And I just want to thank
the Lord for his love for us
00:19:44.08\00:19:47.45
because of his love
00:19:47.48\00:19:49.62
this ministry is
what it is today 3ABN.
00:19:49.65\00:19:53.96
And I want to thank
you all for all your calls,
00:19:53.99\00:19:56.62
the letters you
mailed and the encouragement
00:19:56.66\00:19:59.53
that you just give us
over the phone or by writing.
00:19:59.56\00:20:03.77
And I want to thank the
Lord especially for our family,
00:20:03.80\00:20:07.00
I want to thank
him for sending his son
00:20:07.04\00:20:09.87
to die on the cross for us.
00:20:09.90\00:20:11.61
Hello, I'm Shelley
Quinn. And I'm J. D. Quinn.
00:20:11.64\00:20:15.21
And we have a lot to be thankful
00:20:15.24\00:20:17.38
for this year and
actually every year.
00:20:17.41\00:20:20.08
First I guess,
the greatest thing
00:20:20.12\00:20:22.05
that I'm thankful for
00:20:22.08\00:20:23.42
is the privilege of
being a child of God.
00:20:23.45\00:20:26.15
And I am very, very thankful
00:20:26.19\00:20:28.42
that God has
opened up the doors for us
00:20:28.46\00:20:31.06
to come into his harvest field
00:20:31.09\00:20:33.90
because truly
the harvest is great
00:20:33.93\00:20:36.56
and the laborers are few.
00:20:36.60\00:20:38.60
I believe that one of the things
00:20:38.63\00:20:41.14
that I'm most
thankful for here on earth
00:20:41.17\00:20:43.67
is the love of my husband
00:20:43.71\00:20:46.44
and we're very
blessed as a family.
00:20:46.47\00:20:49.08
We hope that you too are blessed
00:20:49.11\00:20:51.51
and that you are enjoying
all of the many, many blessings
00:20:51.55\00:20:55.35
that got this Thanksgiving.
00:20:55.38\00:20:57.45
Well, first of
all, I want to say
00:20:57.49\00:20:58.82
Happy Thanksgiving
to Shelley and I too.
00:20:58.85\00:21:02.39
I'm one of the most
blessed people on earth
00:21:02.42\00:21:04.69
to have a
wonderful Christian wife.
00:21:04.73\00:21:06.39
Second of all I
just want to thank
00:21:06.43\00:21:08.60
Jesus for being my
King and my Savior.
00:21:08.63\00:21:10.67
And because of that
00:21:10.70\00:21:12.33
it just seems that
I'm growing more each day,
00:21:12.37\00:21:14.94
I'm learning
more about his work.
00:21:14.97\00:21:16.87
And I just raise him up
00:21:16.91\00:21:19.17
and I just thank
you Jesus everyday.
00:21:19.21\00:21:20.88
Amen.
00:21:20.91\00:21:22.24
Hi, I'm Greg Morikone
00:21:22.28\00:21:23.61
and I'm manager of
the 3ABN call center.
00:21:23.65\00:21:25.51
And this is my wife Jill.
00:21:25.55\00:21:27.08
You've probably seen her host
some of the 3ABN cooking shows
00:21:27.12\00:21:30.09
and she also teaches
music lessons in the local area.
00:21:30.12\00:21:32.85
That's right.
00:21:32.89\00:21:34.22
And at this time of year
00:21:34.26\00:21:35.59
we're so thankful
for so many things.
00:21:35.62\00:21:37.59
But especially today
we like to mention a few.
00:21:37.63\00:21:40.40
Yeah, and one of those things
00:21:40.43\00:21:41.76
is that I'm very
thankful for my wife Jill.
00:21:41.80\00:21:43.70
We just passed our two
year wedding anniversary,
00:21:43.73\00:21:46.33
so I'm very thankful for her.
00:21:46.37\00:21:47.80
And of course I'm very
thankful for Greg and to God
00:21:47.84\00:21:51.34
for bringing us together.
00:21:51.37\00:21:53.34
We're also thankful
for our families and to God
00:21:53.38\00:21:57.25
for bringing us here to 3ABN.
00:21:57.28\00:21:59.71
It's such a blessing to
work for God's ministry.
00:21:59.75\00:22:02.82
And we'd also like to thank you
as the viewer for your support
00:22:02.85\00:22:05.85
and your prayers
over the past year,
00:22:05.89\00:22:08.02
they mean so very much to us.
00:22:08.06\00:22:10.43
At this time we'd like
to wish you a Happy Holiday.
00:22:10.46\00:22:14.63
You know Danny, from the
sound of this crowd over here.
00:22:14.66\00:22:17.60
That was a humbling experience
for a whole lot more people.
00:22:17.63\00:22:21.30
Yeah, we gonna
bring everybody in, right.
00:22:21.34\00:22:23.07
That's right.
00:22:23.10\00:22:24.44
And you know,
three of the people
00:22:24.47\00:22:25.81
that we saw on here,
00:22:25.84\00:22:28.28
two of the
directors and a producer.
00:22:28.31\00:22:29.64
Yeah, Rodney,
Bradley and Bobby...
00:22:29.68\00:22:31.01
Rodney and Bobby Davis... Yeah.
00:22:31.05\00:22:33.68
They're back in the
control room right now
00:22:33.72\00:22:36.28
directing and producing.
00:22:36.32\00:22:37.65
And so let's go back there
00:22:37.69\00:22:39.02
and see what
they look like today.
00:22:39.05\00:22:40.89
Okay.
00:22:40.92\00:22:42.26
Oh, I see Bobby
there, there's Bradley,
00:22:42.29\00:22:44.03
Rodney there he is
turning around and waving.
00:22:44.06\00:22:46.73
Your hairs changed
a little bit colors
00:22:46.76\00:22:48.86
just went from blonde to grey
00:22:48.90\00:22:50.73
like some of the rest
of us and you got a beard.
00:22:50.77\00:22:53.13
I got rid off my
beard and he added a beard.
00:22:53.17\00:22:55.87
And Bobby Davis'
hair just disappeared.
00:22:55.90\00:22:57.84
No, no, I wasn't
going to talk about that.
00:22:57.87\00:23:00.61
That's Mollie who
said that, Bobby, not me.
00:23:00.64\00:23:03.18
But anyway those folks
are in the control room.
00:23:03.21\00:23:05.15
So you see how many
years they've been there,
00:23:05.18\00:23:07.22
you put them
together is about 60 years
00:23:07.25\00:23:09.08
there between all of them.
00:23:09.12\00:23:10.52
So it's been a long time.
00:23:10.55\00:23:12.15
We appreciate what they're doing
00:23:12.19\00:23:13.52
and absolutely
everything you see up here,
00:23:13.56\00:23:16.39
the folks back
there behind the cameras
00:23:16.42\00:23:18.13
that make this happen.
00:23:18.16\00:23:19.49
Most of us out front don't know,
00:23:19.53\00:23:21.16
some of us do
unlike Moses and Greg
00:23:21.20\00:23:23.53
and few over here inproduction.
00:23:23.57\00:23:25.03
But for the most part of it
00:23:25.07\00:23:27.04
you got these guys back
here and the women, the ladies,
00:23:27.07\00:23:30.01
so we're thankful for
all of you for what you do.
00:23:30.04\00:23:32.51
You went for the staff
nothing would get accomplished.
00:23:32.54\00:23:34.68
Absolutely.
00:23:34.71\00:23:36.04
But you know, the whole purpose
00:23:36.08\00:23:37.41
of Three Angels
Broadcasting Network
00:23:37.45\00:23:38.78
is to proclaim a message
00:23:38.81\00:23:40.75
and it takes
preachers to do that.
00:23:40.78\00:23:42.68
That's right.
00:23:42.72\00:23:44.05
And I think we've got some rolls
00:23:44.09\00:23:46.42
of some preachers...
00:23:46.45\00:23:47.79
Early preachers.
00:23:47.82\00:23:49.16
Early preachers,
you're going to enjoy this.
00:23:49.19\00:23:51.59
The Book of Daniel
is a book of prophecy
00:23:51.63\00:23:55.26
and many people felt
that, that book of prophecy
00:23:55.30\00:23:58.37
was a closed book that
it couldn't be understood.
00:23:58.40\00:24:01.67
But you find that
the books of Daniel
00:24:01.70\00:24:03.54
and Revelation go
together like a hand in a glove.
00:24:03.57\00:24:07.41
Now notice the Bible says
that he was led by the spirit.
00:24:07.44\00:24:09.74
The word is
impelled, forced by the spirit.
00:24:09.78\00:24:12.61
The calling, the
wooing of a Holy Spirit
00:24:12.65\00:24:14.52
to lay down the
tools of the carpenter
00:24:14.55\00:24:16.52
and to take up the
tools of the Savior.
00:24:16.55\00:24:19.42
After about 10 minutes
00:24:19.45\00:24:20.79
she stood in the
middle of the street
00:24:20.82\00:24:22.16
and she began to
call in Mark, Mark,
00:24:22.19\00:24:25.33
where are you son?
00:24:25.36\00:24:27.20
And all of a sudden frightful
thoughts filled her mind.
00:24:27.23\00:24:31.33
He's been kidnapped.
00:24:31.37\00:24:32.93
The vast majority
people in the world...
00:24:32.97\00:24:37.84
are going to be
deceived by the antichrist.
00:24:37.87\00:24:42.58
And therefore, it is
very, very important...
00:24:42.61\00:24:45.98
that we understand these truths.
00:24:46.01\00:24:49.18
He is called
the prince of peace,
00:24:49.22\00:24:50.99
he knows what to do.
00:24:51.02\00:24:52.35
He specializes
in saving the lost
00:24:52.39\00:24:55.19
and defeating enemies
00:24:55.22\00:24:56.73
and breaking
down principalities,
00:24:56.76\00:24:58.86
and exalting valleys
00:24:58.89\00:25:00.23
while mountains
are being leveled.
00:25:00.26\00:25:02.16
He specializes in
taking care of whatever problem
00:25:02.20\00:25:06.57
plagues us today.
00:25:06.60\00:25:07.94
You know, it's
amazing the questions
00:25:07.97\00:25:09.30
that people ask
in the word of God.
00:25:09.34\00:25:11.61
I remember one
time when the disciples
00:25:11.64\00:25:13.98
were on the Sea of
Galilee with Jesus,
00:25:14.01\00:25:15.84
and they were in
this violent storm
00:25:15.88\00:25:17.31
and the Lord was sleeping
in the back of the ship.
00:25:17.35\00:25:19.71
They woke up Jesus
and they said Lord,
00:25:19.75\00:25:22.15
don't you care
that we might perish?
00:25:22.18\00:25:25.29
And here in to first 24 of
the New Testament John 4:24,
00:25:25.32\00:25:31.26
it says,
00:25:31.29\00:25:32.83
''God is Spirit
00:25:32.86\00:25:34.93
and they that worship him
00:25:34.96\00:25:37.23
must worship him in
spirit and in truth."
00:25:37.27\00:25:41.60
I had an experience
00:25:41.64\00:25:43.20
that led me to
search the scriptures
00:25:43.24\00:25:44.97
that I'd like to share with you.
00:25:45.01\00:25:47.31
I was doing some
witnessing door to door,
00:25:47.34\00:25:49.88
sharing some books shortly
after I'd become a Christian.
00:25:49.91\00:25:53.31
I was eager to
share my new faith,
00:25:53.35\00:25:55.52
the truths that I had learned
00:25:55.55\00:25:57.45
were just brimming
over from my heart and mind
00:25:57.49\00:25:59.75
and I just felt as
though I had to go out
00:25:59.79\00:26:02.32
and find somebody
00:26:02.36\00:26:03.83
who I could share
these things with.
00:26:03.86\00:26:05.79
When given the
opportunity after opportunity,
00:26:05.83\00:26:08.00
we have this city
calling us to come here
00:26:08.03\00:26:09.50
and come hold a youth
runs crusade in our city,
00:26:09.53\00:26:11.63
come to our
city, come to our city.
00:26:11.67\00:26:13.27
And so we believe hat
God is just gonna continue
00:26:13.30\00:26:14.90
to do wonderful things.
00:26:14.94\00:26:16.54
The location, the site itself
00:26:16.57\00:26:19.74
needs to simply
be user friendly,
00:26:19.77\00:26:22.34
accessible to the public.
00:26:22.38\00:26:23.71
And by the way in Port Townsend,
00:26:23.75\00:26:25.88
do you know that my,
00:26:25.91\00:26:27.25
years ago my grandparents
Milton and Ralph Watts
00:26:27.28\00:26:30.65
used to live on
Marrowstone Island,
00:26:30.69\00:26:32.59
which is right
beside Port Townsend.
00:26:32.62\00:26:34.19
I preached in the
little Port Townsend church.
00:26:34.22\00:26:36.52
On 7:7 he says,
''Londa, world cannot hate you,
00:26:36.56\00:26:40.26
but me it hateth
00:26:40.30\00:26:42.13
because I testify
00:26:42.16\00:26:44.40
there of that the
works that they do are evil"
00:26:44.43\00:26:49.80
It's a great disadvantage
to God that he can't lie.
00:26:49.84\00:26:52.27
And this controversy
that he's involved in,
00:26:52.31\00:26:53.68
isn't he?
00:26:53.71\00:26:55.04
Yes, that's right.
00:26:55.08\00:26:56.41
The enemy is the father of lies.
00:26:56.44\00:26:57.78
Jesus said there in John 8,
''Devil is the father of lies"
00:26:57.81\00:27:02.22
the original liar
and the father of it.
00:27:02.25\00:27:04.99
Jeremiah 9:24,
00:27:05.02\00:27:07.82
we're here today to
clear up a few things
00:27:07.86\00:27:10.86
on our precious
loving heavenly father.
00:27:10.89\00:27:15.03
Oh, he's so kind, he's so good.
00:27:15.06\00:27:18.03
So the things that you
heard about him in the past,
00:27:18.07\00:27:21.94
if it's anything negative
push that out of your mind.
00:27:21.97\00:27:24.84
Always interesting to see
how people age so gracefully.
00:27:24.87\00:27:27.68
Yeah.
00:27:27.71\00:27:29.04
And you know
someone that was with us
00:27:29.08\00:27:30.48
from the very beginning,
I didn't see him on that.
00:27:30.51\00:27:32.28
I know, we've
held his out special.
00:27:32.31\00:27:35.85
There's a preacher
that's been missing
00:27:35.88\00:27:37.35
but I think we're gonna show
00:27:37.39\00:27:39.22
Brother Kenny Shelton right now
00:27:39.25\00:27:41.26
way back in the 80s, all right.
00:27:41.29\00:27:42.96
Stop it.
00:27:42.99\00:27:45.79
I'm glad that you
came today, doctor.
00:27:45.83\00:27:47.86
Well, Thank you,
I enjoy being here.
00:27:47.90\00:27:49.23
And you know how 30 minutes
00:27:49.26\00:27:50.60
goes by rather
quickly, doesn't it?
00:27:50.63\00:27:51.97
Pretty quickly.
00:27:52.00\00:27:53.34
Okay, so I'm gonna encourage
our listeners today to be sure,
00:27:53.37\00:27:56.34
be sure and those who watch
be sure to tune in tomorrow
00:27:56.37\00:27:58.51
will you for Behold the Lamb
00:27:58.54\00:28:00.04
as we ask our
doctor once again come back
00:28:00.08\00:28:02.71
and we're gonna talk
about the eight epidemic.
00:28:02.74\00:28:05.08
New York, and the place we visit
00:28:05.11\00:28:06.75
and the people
that we spend time with
00:28:06.78\00:28:08.82
and they
treated us like royalty.
00:28:08.85\00:28:10.25
Oh, they did.
00:28:10.29\00:28:11.62
We almost didn't
want to even come home.
00:28:11.65\00:28:13.39
Oh, it was so nice there
so we'll always have a place
00:28:13.42\00:28:15.72
when we go to New York to stay.
00:28:15.76\00:28:17.13
And I'm so thankful for that.
00:28:17.16\00:28:19.06
They were so enthused
when you began to talk
00:28:19.09\00:28:20.96
about the miracles
that were unfolding at 3ABN,
00:28:21.00\00:28:23.50
they were so enthused about it.
00:28:23.53\00:28:25.57
Now I agree they just
about got as loud as you did.
00:28:25.60\00:28:28.80
Amen.
00:28:28.84\00:28:30.17
So we want to encourage
you right now to sit down.
00:28:30.21\00:28:32.17
Write down your testimony.
00:28:32.21\00:28:33.54
Would you do that and
share with us and put friends
00:28:33.58\00:28:35.14
on the outside of the
envelope and nice smiley face.
00:28:35.18\00:28:37.71
And we'll be
glad to hear from you.
00:28:37.75\00:28:39.08
God's working in
a very marvelous way
00:28:39.11\00:28:40.62
and he's working in your life
00:28:40.65\00:28:41.98
and we want to know
about it, we love you,
00:28:42.02\00:28:43.35
prayerfully
consider what you can do
00:28:43.39\00:28:44.72
to support this ministry.
00:28:44.75\00:28:46.09
We love you.
00:28:46.12\00:28:47.46
We look forward to
seeing you tomorrow.
00:28:47.49\00:28:48.89
All right, what
you think about that?
00:28:48.92\00:28:51.49
How about that, Chris?
00:28:51.53\00:28:53.06
I don't think he's
changed a bit, do you?
00:28:53.09\00:28:55.40
He's cut his
hair a little shorter.
00:28:55.43\00:28:57.77
Just cut his hair
little shorter that's all.
00:28:57.80\00:28:59.83
Tammy you neither, you
all look the same to me.
00:28:59.87\00:29:02.04
Thank you so much.
00:29:02.07\00:29:03.41
Of course I need
glasses, I need glasses
00:29:03.44\00:29:05.61
but other than you
still look good to me, right.
00:29:05.64\00:29:09.21
So we just tell each other
that so it makes us feel better.
00:29:09.24\00:29:12.15
Let us in our bubble, all right.
00:29:12.18\00:29:14.45
You know hanging
around 3ABN all these years
00:29:14.48\00:29:17.62
and particularly
the Shelton family
00:29:17.65\00:29:19.69
something that I have noticed
00:29:19.72\00:29:21.36
is everyone of them
can sing beautifully.
00:29:21.39\00:29:23.39
Have you all noticed that?
00:29:23.43\00:29:24.96
And something that
has always been identified
00:29:24.99\00:29:28.26
with Three Angels Broadcasting
Network has been music.
00:29:28.30\00:29:31.90
And we've got some early
rolls of our early singers.
00:29:31.93\00:29:35.54
I think you're
going to enjoy this also.
00:29:35.57\00:29:39.64
And in his eyes,
there lives the power
00:29:39.67\00:29:45.45
That cease the hearts of all men
00:29:45.48\00:29:51.99
For he knows his father's mind
00:29:52.02\00:29:55.46
He speaks his father's words
00:29:55.49\00:29:58.36
For he comes in
the name of the Lord
00:29:58.39\00:30:06.37
You place your hand of blessing
00:30:10.21\00:30:15.91
On my head and on my heart
00:30:15.94\00:30:23.05
And it seems too great
and glorious to believe
00:30:23.08\00:30:31.06
Oh, I want to be remembered
00:30:34.96\00:30:38.43
As a girl who sang
her songs for Jesus Christ
00:30:38.47\00:30:45.14
Who was willing
to lay down her life
00:30:45.17\00:30:49.58
And do His will, no
matter what the price
00:30:49.61\00:30:56.35
Well, I am
singing for the deaf man
00:30:56.38\00:30:59.99
Who can hear about
salvation through my song
00:31:00.02\00:31:06.59
And I'm singing
for the blind man
00:31:06.63\00:31:10.67
Who can see the
light in me and come along
00:31:10.70\00:31:17.31
Amazing
00:31:17.34\00:31:23.14
Grace
00:31:23.18\00:31:25.85
How sweet the sound
00:31:25.88\00:31:32.25
That saved a wretch
00:31:32.29\00:31:39.69
like me
00:31:39.73\00:31:45.80
I once was lost
00:31:45.83\00:31:52.81
but now I'm found
00:31:52.84\00:31:58.08
I was blind
00:31:58.11\00:32:00.95
but now I see
00:32:00.98\00:32:08.79
We stand here together
00:32:15.03\00:32:19.17
As a family we
join hands together
00:32:19.20\00:32:25.34
Lifting praises
to the Father above
00:32:25.37\00:32:31.58
For sending his Son
00:32:31.61\00:32:38.85
We've chosen together
00:32:38.89\00:32:42.99
As a family to serve him forever
00:32:43.02\00:32:48.66
And knowing nothing
else will matter in time
00:32:48.70\00:32:54.94
We made up our minds
00:32:54.97\00:33:01.94
When I see my brother stumble
00:33:19.76\00:33:25.83
And all his dreams crumble
00:33:25.87\00:33:31.77
Let me be there
00:33:31.81\00:33:36.21
For I too failed
00:33:36.24\00:33:42.98
And when I see
00:33:43.02\00:33:46.82
His heart breaking
00:33:46.86\00:33:49.92
From a wrong turn he's taking
00:33:49.96\00:33:55.76
Let me be there
00:33:55.80\00:33:59.90
For I remember well
00:33:59.93\00:34:06.37
I want to spend my life
00:34:06.41\00:34:13.05
Mending broken people
00:34:13.08\00:34:18.22
I want to spend my whole life
00:34:18.25\00:34:25.19
Removing pain
00:34:25.23\00:34:30.80
Lord, let my words
00:34:30.83\00:34:37.57
Heal a heart that hurts
00:34:37.61\00:34:42.61
I want to spend my whole life
00:34:42.64\00:34:48.85
Mending broken people
00:34:48.88\00:34:54.26
That's the reason
00:34:54.29\00:34:55.62
we got the name of
the mending broken people.
00:34:55.66\00:34:59.46
Absolutely.
00:34:59.49\00:35:00.83
The Lord anoints when you sing
that song, that's beautiful.
00:35:00.86\00:35:03.40
Well, I remember a
young lady one night,
00:35:03.43\00:35:06.63
right at the beginning of 3ABN
00:35:06.67\00:35:08.94
just knocked on my door
and handed me a cassette.
00:35:08.97\00:35:10.97
Some of you old enough
00:35:11.01\00:35:12.34
to remember the
cassettes, right.
00:35:12.37\00:35:14.01
And she said here's the song
00:35:14.04\00:35:16.38
and the Lord
impressed me to give it to you.
00:35:16.41\00:35:19.61
Well, now.
00:35:19.65\00:35:21.62
She said this
describes your ministry.
00:35:21.65\00:35:27.89
See if you want to sing it
00:35:27.92\00:35:32.49
32 years later...
00:35:32.53\00:35:35.30
And you're still singing it.
00:35:35.33\00:35:37.03
And it's still touching
and it's still bringing people.
00:35:37.07\00:35:40.90
That's what this
ministry is all about.
00:35:40.94\00:35:42.64
Mending broken people.
00:35:42.67\00:35:44.01
Mollie and I have said
here and some of our family,
00:35:44.04\00:35:46.74
this ministry has mended us.
00:35:46.78\00:35:49.44
We've been broken
00:35:49.48\00:35:50.81
so over the years
it's not like hey,
00:35:50.85\00:35:52.18
we are out of here
trying to help all of you,
00:35:52.21\00:35:54.88
you all are helping us.
00:35:54.92\00:35:56.35
So we are helping
to mend each other.
00:35:56.38\00:35:58.85
And I want to say a
special thank you to Melody,
00:35:58.89\00:36:01.72
honey for all the years.
00:36:01.76\00:36:06.09
This girl went one
year we traveled a 100...
00:36:06.13\00:36:09.40
after your mother died.
00:36:12.63\00:36:14.04
We traveled a
100,000 miles together
00:36:17.54\00:36:20.94
singing in church after church,
00:36:20.98\00:36:25.71
place after place.
00:36:25.75\00:36:28.75
I would go to people's homes.
00:36:28.78\00:36:30.29
She was just 11,
12, 13 years old,
00:36:34.02\00:36:36.59
she'd sit for hours
00:36:36.62\00:36:38.79
had to be boring, she never,
00:36:38.83\00:36:41.90
just sat no
matter where we went,
00:36:41.93\00:36:44.53
no matter how many services,
00:36:44.57\00:36:46.63
how many times
she heard me speak.
00:36:46.67\00:36:48.40
Never complained.
00:36:52.71\00:36:56.08
You knew God was in
it, didn't you Melody?
00:36:56.11\00:36:58.35
You knew this was from God.
Thank you honey, I love you.
00:36:58.38\00:37:02.55
And I think the proof now
00:37:02.58\00:37:05.09
is that God
honored that faithfulness
00:37:05.12\00:37:08.49
and today the ministry
is touching and reaching
00:37:08.52\00:37:12.53
and so many people
continued to be blessed
00:37:12.56\00:37:17.07
by the ministry of Three
Angels Broadcasting Network.
00:37:17.10\00:37:19.20
Yeah, I mean honestly,
00:37:19.23\00:37:22.17
there had been may be a 3ABN
00:37:22.20\00:37:24.31
we may not have
been a part of it.
00:37:24.34\00:37:26.21
But it was after the
accident, I wanted Melody,
00:37:26.24\00:37:30.28
I knew God had given her a gift.
00:37:30.31\00:37:32.45
She didn't have a mother
00:37:32.48\00:37:33.82
and I really wanted
her to use that gift.
00:37:33.85\00:37:37.05
So by myself I
wouldn't Kenny and I
00:37:37.09\00:37:40.06
probably still
be having at least
00:37:40.09\00:37:41.46
when we're carpentering
I would have done that.
00:37:41.49\00:37:43.93
But I wanted to be with her
00:37:43.96\00:37:45.89
and to give her the opportunity.
00:37:45.93\00:37:48.66
You know, to use her gifts
00:37:48.70\00:37:50.17
and that's when we
had some opportunities
00:37:50.20\00:37:52.03
to sing on other
Christian Networks.
00:37:52.07\00:37:54.34
That's when I said you know
00:37:54.37\00:37:55.70
why don't we as
Seventh Adventist,
00:37:55.74\00:37:57.71
why don't we have
a television station
00:37:57.74\00:37:59.81
to reach the world?
00:37:59.84\00:38:01.18
Some of these
other folk were reaching,
00:38:01.21\00:38:02.54
no one of them was
reaching the world at that time,
00:38:02.58\00:38:04.25
but here in America the
number of other networks,
00:38:04.28\00:38:07.58
and so going to those
and that's the Lord impressed
00:38:07.62\00:38:10.25
so thank you, honey,
00:38:10.29\00:38:11.62
for your
faithfulness in all these years.
00:38:11.65\00:38:14.02
You know, Danny,
this ministry had...
00:38:14.06\00:38:16.02
It's touched hundreds
of thousands of people.
00:38:16.06\00:38:19.49
But there are
ministers and ministries
00:38:19.53\00:38:22.26
that will tell us very quickly,
00:38:22.30\00:38:23.83
how this ministry
has impacted them.
00:38:23.87\00:38:26.57
As a matter of fact
we have some ministers
00:38:26.60\00:38:28.97
and ministries
that have just sent us
00:38:29.00\00:38:31.74
a little message to tell us
how much they appreciate us.
00:38:31.77\00:38:36.85
Hi, Danny and 3ABN,
00:38:36.88\00:38:40.65
it's been a lot of years
00:38:40.68\00:38:42.75
since I made the drive
from Northwest Arkansas,
00:38:42.78\00:38:45.95
all the way up to the
cornfields of the Illinois,
00:38:45.99\00:38:49.12
to find that great big building
00:38:49.16\00:38:52.03
in the middle of nowhere
00:38:52.06\00:38:53.40
broadcasting three angels'
message around the globe.
00:38:53.43\00:38:57.07
I can tell you what
it's done for me personally,
00:38:57.10\00:39:01.57
the opportunity that
we seeing on that network
00:39:01.60\00:39:04.01
has literally taken
our young obscure pastor
00:39:04.04\00:39:08.94
who was hearing God's call
00:39:08.98\00:39:11.75
to be a sweet singer of Israel.
00:39:11.78\00:39:14.02
Who stepped out
in faith not knowing
00:39:14.05\00:39:15.95
how in the world
God could provide
00:39:15.98\00:39:18.65
and then God sent 3ABN.
00:39:18.69\00:39:21.46
And 3ABN gave me
that platform to the world
00:39:21.49\00:39:24.96
which has given me 25 years
00:39:24.99\00:39:28.46
of 85 concerts a year,
00:39:28.50\00:39:32.73
busy as I want to be and
busier than I want to be.
00:39:32.77\00:39:36.40
And primarily, because
when I called people say,
00:39:36.44\00:39:39.94
''oh, we know you,
we've seen you on 3ABN".
00:39:39.97\00:39:44.91
So that's certainly
00:39:44.95\00:39:46.65
something that has not
gone unnoticed in our family.
00:39:46.68\00:39:53.12
And my personal appreciation
00:39:53.15\00:39:54.82
for all what 3ABN has done
00:39:54.86\00:39:58.56
cannot even be expressed.
00:39:58.59\00:40:01.96
But it even goes
further than that,
00:40:02.00\00:40:03.93
the friendship that
I've had with everyone
00:40:03.97\00:40:07.10
from the camera crew
00:40:07.14\00:40:09.04
to the front office people.
00:40:09.07\00:40:11.77
To Danny,
00:40:11.81\00:40:14.24
the travel, the
opportunities to go
00:40:14.28\00:40:16.38
to different
events as your guest
00:40:16.41\00:40:18.51
and to be a part of the team
00:40:18.55\00:40:20.95
for someone who loves community
00:40:20.98\00:40:24.59
being a gospel singer
00:40:24.62\00:40:26.39
is really contrary to that
00:40:26.42\00:40:27.86
because you end
up alone all the time
00:40:27.89\00:40:31.09
by just traveling by yourself.
00:40:31.13\00:40:33.09
But 3ABN has provided
00:40:33.13\00:40:36.13
a sense of
family on many occasions
00:40:36.16\00:40:38.93
that I'll cherish forever.
00:40:38.97\00:40:42.30
So 3ABN thank you,
00:40:42.34\00:40:44.04
thank you so much
for what you've done
00:40:44.07\00:40:45.71
for other ministries
00:40:45.74\00:40:49.48
without asking
anything in return.
00:40:49.51\00:40:52.08
So God bless you,
00:40:52.11\00:40:53.55
continue on with many
more successful years.
00:40:53.58\00:40:57.59
Amen. Well, thank you
Steve, that was nice, wasn't it?
00:40:57.62\00:41:00.89
And it's a two way streak,
00:41:00.92\00:41:02.36
it's a win-win
because Steve Darmody,
00:41:02.39\00:41:05.49
he's been willing to
come anytime we've asked him
00:41:05.53\00:41:08.20
as you can see since the
80s still willing to do it.
00:41:08.23\00:41:11.47
Yes, he is.
00:41:11.50\00:41:12.83
But it has been,
we're so thankful
00:41:12.87\00:41:14.84
that God has allowed
3ABN to be a springboard
00:41:14.87\00:41:17.51
for so many
ministries that around the world
00:41:17.54\00:41:20.91
that people literally came here,
00:41:20.94\00:41:23.04
they were interviewed
and would get phone calls,
00:41:23.08\00:41:25.41
and I can't tell
you how many people
00:41:25.45\00:41:27.22
have been able
to quit certain jobs
00:41:27.25\00:41:29.48
they were in and
even professionals
00:41:29.52\00:41:31.29
to go into
certain types of ministry,
00:41:31.32\00:41:33.36
whether it's health,
whether it's evangelism
00:41:33.39\00:41:35.72
and it's been amazing.
00:41:35.76\00:41:37.33
And some of those
00:41:37.36\00:41:38.89
we'll talk about
little bit later on
00:41:38.93\00:41:40.56
but they left their occupation,
making a lot of money
00:41:40.60\00:41:43.50
and we've got them to volunteer
00:41:43.53\00:41:45.03
and not paid them a penny
00:41:45.07\00:41:46.40
like Brenda Walsh
over here for 20 years.
00:41:46.43\00:41:48.77
And had her work and
then kept her busy too so,
00:41:48.80\00:41:51.57
but it's we
appreciate people like Steve
00:41:51.61\00:41:53.98
and those we've
been able to work with.
00:41:54.01\00:41:55.48
What a blessing, and
for all of us to do this.
00:41:55.51\00:41:59.21
We have somebody
else that we worked with,
00:41:59.25\00:42:01.58
quite a character this
guy, you got to love this guy.
00:42:01.62\00:42:04.02
I mean he is a character,
00:42:04.05\00:42:05.39
and he was from right
here in Southern Illinois.
00:42:05.42\00:42:08.32
You ran across him somewhere.
Great singer, oh, yeah.
00:42:08.36\00:42:10.79
E.T. I think
introduced us years ago.
00:42:10.83\00:42:13.60
Darrell Marshall, lets
hear what he has to say.
00:42:13.63\00:42:17.73
Hello, friends,
I'm Darrell Marshall.
00:42:17.77\00:42:20.24
I met Danny
Shelton 17 years ago,
00:42:20.27\00:42:23.00
and he's changed my life.
00:42:23.04\00:42:24.81
Danny invited me to come over
to 3ABN and do some work there,
00:42:24.84\00:42:29.54
where I met some
of the most wonderful
00:42:29.58\00:42:31.55
devoted Christian people
00:42:31.58\00:42:33.01
that surround him and 3ABN here.
00:42:33.05\00:42:35.48
And they pray nonstop
just to keep this going.
00:42:35.52\00:42:39.65
It's a wonderful ministry
00:42:39.69\00:42:41.36
that reaches all the
way around the world.
00:42:41.39\00:42:43.79
Danny invited me to travel
with him across this country
00:42:43.83\00:42:46.70
and singing and minister
00:42:46.73\00:42:48.06
to many people in many churches.
00:42:48.10\00:42:50.37
There I met some great people
00:42:50.40\00:42:51.83
that have impacted
my ministry as well.
00:42:51.87\00:42:54.37
I know for a fact that a
lot of ministries have started
00:42:54.40\00:42:57.31
just because of 3ABN.
00:42:57.34\00:42:59.21
I've talked to them personally
00:42:59.24\00:43:00.98
that still say 3ABN
has reached more people
00:43:01.01\00:43:05.91
than they can ever ask or think.
00:43:05.95\00:43:08.88
So I'm standing on the
stage here at the worship center
00:43:08.92\00:43:11.62
where I've been a
part of many camp meetings
00:43:11.65\00:43:13.99
over the past few years.
00:43:14.02\00:43:15.86
I've had some of the
greatest times in my life
00:43:15.89\00:43:18.46
as I met people back here,
back stage and we've laughed,
00:43:18.49\00:43:22.36
we've cried together and
we've had a lot of prayer
00:43:22.40\00:43:24.93
back here in the back.
00:43:24.97\00:43:26.43
And so I want to thank you
00:43:26.47\00:43:29.10
all over this
world for supporting 3ABN
00:43:29.14\00:43:32.01
for 32 years in the ministry.
00:43:32.04\00:43:35.01
I pray God's blessings on Danny
00:43:35.04\00:43:37.71
and this worship center
00:43:37.75\00:43:39.51
and all that this ministry
00:43:39.55\00:43:41.25
is that they will continue
00:43:41.28\00:43:43.39
for many, many more
years of healing the hurting
00:43:43.42\00:43:47.96
and saving the lost.
00:43:47.99\00:43:49.42
That's their goal.
00:43:49.46\00:43:50.83
And so thank you
again for supporting them
00:43:50.86\00:43:54.50
and praying for
them spiritually.
00:43:54.53\00:43:56.63
And we pray God's
blessings on your life today.
00:43:56.67\00:44:00.24
Thank you.
00:44:00.27\00:44:01.80
Thank you, Darrell, you
noticed how short the tie was.
00:44:01.84\00:44:05.54
That's not the
tie that I cut off.
00:44:05.57\00:44:07.34
I go in trouble for that,
00:44:07.38\00:44:09.24
he was at camp meeting
00:44:09.28\00:44:10.61
and showed up with the tie with,
00:44:10.65\00:44:12.45
where was it Melody?
00:44:12.48\00:44:13.88
Like Looney Tunes one of
like Goofy, Fred Flintstone.
00:44:13.92\00:44:18.42
So I said no you're not gonna
go out and sing with that tie
00:44:18.45\00:44:20.96
and he said, ''Why not?
00:44:20.99\00:44:22.32
I said, "No,
you're not going to."
00:44:22.36\00:44:24.06
He said, ''No, I'll go out."
00:44:24.09\00:44:25.43
I said, ''If you
do, I'll cut it off".
00:44:25.46\00:44:27.06
So right before he went,
00:44:27.10\00:44:28.56
I got some
scissors and I cut his tie
00:44:28.60\00:44:30.93
and he walked out
with a tie that short.
00:44:30.97\00:44:32.80
But this one's on purpose,
this is like the cowboy tie.
00:44:32.83\00:44:36.50
Speaking of the cowboy tie,
00:44:36.54\00:44:38.31
we had to put
in about 30 seconds
00:44:38.34\00:44:41.41
of Uncle Olen
with his cowboy tie.
00:44:41.44\00:44:44.18
I'm sure he has it
on, I haven't seen it
00:44:44.21\00:44:45.81
but I'm sure
because he always wore that.
00:44:45.85\00:44:47.88
But this is from Uncle
Olen way back in the 80s.
00:44:47.92\00:44:52.15
Our uncle Olen Shelton,
and that we called him Big O.
00:44:52.19\00:44:56.02
And he came on and never
sang anywhere in his life
00:44:56.06\00:44:59.03
till he sang here on 3ABN
00:44:59.06\00:45:00.63
other than at home
in West Frankfort church
00:45:00.66\00:45:02.43
and once he did, people loved it
00:45:02.46\00:45:04.40
and we had to have him
back time and time again, so.
00:45:04.43\00:45:06.94
Right now we'll
listen to Uncle Olen
00:45:06.97\00:45:09.04
and his trademark song says,
00:45:09.07\00:45:11.17
Life is like a
mountain railroad.
00:45:11.21\00:45:15.54
Life is like a mountain railroad
00:45:15.58\00:45:21.48
With an engineer that's brave
00:45:21.52\00:45:27.26
We must make the run successful
00:45:27.29\00:45:32.96
From the cradle to the grave
00:45:32.99\00:45:38.23
All right. Thank you Uncle O.
00:45:38.27\00:45:39.93
Tammy you and
Luray could sing with him
00:45:39.97\00:45:43.74
because timing
he would sometimes
00:45:43.77\00:45:46.11
he'll give an
extra bar or half a bar
00:45:46.14\00:45:48.41
and it just, how did he do?
00:45:48.44\00:45:50.15
We would just watch him
and kind of watch his hands
00:45:50.18\00:45:52.65
on the guitar
00:45:52.68\00:45:54.02
and it was kind
of like jumping in
00:45:54.05\00:45:55.72
when somebody's turning the rope
00:45:55.75\00:45:57.09
you know, you kind of like this
00:45:57.12\00:45:58.99
and then soon as that first word
00:45:59.02\00:46:00.36
would come out we
jump right in with it.
00:46:00.39\00:46:02.42
Yeah, they could do it,
I couldn't really keep time
00:46:02.46\00:46:04.39
with him I mean,
00:46:04.43\00:46:05.76
and because he
had his own timing
00:46:05.79\00:46:07.66
and it was consistent with it
00:46:07.70\00:46:09.06
but it's I call it the off beat.
00:46:09.10\00:46:10.77
You know so instead
of coming on the beat
00:46:10.80\00:46:13.07
you think you come in on,
00:46:13.10\00:46:14.64
but he didn't
and people loved him
00:46:14.67\00:46:16.17
and was on for many, many years.
00:46:16.20\00:46:18.11
Speaking of people that I love.
00:46:18.14\00:46:19.94
I think the next one
we've got some grandkids on
00:46:19.97\00:46:23.48
and this is back when Melody
00:46:23.51\00:46:25.55
who probably let
her enjoy this one.
00:46:25.58\00:46:27.55
You haven't seen it, I
think we were on the set
00:46:27.58\00:46:30.25
one day doing a interview
with them so I hope enjoy,
00:46:30.29\00:46:34.22
and I think four of
the grandkids are on this.
00:46:34.26\00:46:37.09
Thanksgiving Day.
00:46:37.13\00:46:38.79
Thanksgiving Day
will soon be here.
00:46:38.83\00:46:41.30
It comes around but once a year.
00:46:41.33\00:46:44.03
If I could only have my way,
00:46:44.07\00:46:46.94
we'd have Thanksgiving everyday.
00:46:46.97\00:46:50.81
All right, ain't
that a neat little poem.
00:46:50.84\00:46:52.51
What are you thankful for Jesse?
00:46:52.54\00:46:53.94
You.
00:46:53.98\00:46:55.31
Oh, that's a good
answer, all right.
00:46:55.34\00:46:57.45
Good answer for papa what else?
00:46:57.48\00:46:59.51
Mom, Dad,
00:46:59.55\00:47:02.75
Hailey, Noah, Justin.
00:47:02.78\00:47:04.79
All right.
00:47:04.82\00:47:06.15
Okay, but I found out you
are very smart with numbers.
00:47:06.19\00:47:09.22
Because I've practiced on him
and I did one program already
00:47:09.26\00:47:11.89
but he always amazes me.
00:47:11.93\00:47:13.26
I'll give him some numbers
maybe I didn't give before.
00:47:13.29\00:47:15.46
What's 5 plus 5? 10.
00:47:15.50\00:47:18.70
What's 10 plus 10? 20.
00:47:18.73\00:47:20.97
What's 20 plus 20? 40.
00:47:21.00\00:47:23.71
You're kidding,
you know all that.
00:47:23.74\00:47:25.17
I bet you don't know 30 plus 30.
00:47:25.21\00:47:27.38
30 plus 30 equals 60. Man.
00:47:27.41\00:47:31.08
What's 50 plus 50? 100.
00:47:31.11\00:47:35.02
What's 100 plus 200?
00:47:35.05\00:47:39.35
100 plus 200? Yeah.
00:47:39.39\00:47:42.12
300.
00:47:42.16\00:47:44.23
I tricked him because
before I said 100 plus 100,
00:47:44.26\00:47:46.90
but you got me, didn't you?
00:47:46.93\00:47:48.26
100 plus 200.
00:47:48.30\00:47:50.60
That's right and
you did a good job.
00:47:50.63\00:47:52.40
You've answered
it right, it's 300.
00:47:52.43\00:47:54.27
So one day he
shocked me and said,
00:47:54.30\00:47:57.74
200 zillion plus
200 zillion is how many?
00:47:57.77\00:48:02.28
400 zillion.
00:48:02.31\00:48:04.81
You're too smart for me,
00:48:04.85\00:48:06.18
I can't go up
any bigger numbers.
00:48:06.21\00:48:08.58
How much do you love
momma, show me this much,
00:48:08.62\00:48:11.05
this much, this much?
00:48:11.09\00:48:12.49
How big do you show? Oh, wow.
00:48:12.52\00:48:16.06
Well, can you give momma a
kiss and tell her I love you.
00:48:16.09\00:48:17.79
Say I love you mom.
00:48:17.83\00:48:19.16
I love you. I love you.
00:48:19.19\00:48:21.93
We didn't get much
to know while in there,
00:48:21.96\00:48:23.47
but is that too cute or what?
00:48:23.50\00:48:24.83
Yeah.
00:48:24.87\00:48:26.20
So that Justin,
00:48:26.23\00:48:27.57
I mean he was
about five or something?
00:48:27.60\00:48:29.20
I'm not even
sure he was in school
00:48:29.24\00:48:31.04
and you couldn't
fool him with numbers.
00:48:31.07\00:48:32.47
I mean, he actually knew
it, it wasn't like he memorized.
00:48:32.51\00:48:35.28
You can throw some
big numbers out there.
00:48:35.31\00:48:37.75
And for some reason they
just clicked in his head.
00:48:37.78\00:48:40.82
So I don't know if he
still does that or not.
00:48:40.85\00:48:42.98
But what a
blessing these grandkids.
00:48:43.02\00:48:45.02
We've got some older
ones that are not here Greg,
00:48:45.05\00:48:48.26
Brooke and Bradley.
00:48:48.29\00:48:49.79
So we love them all so we got a,
00:48:49.82\00:48:53.16
how many we got
all together now?
00:48:53.19\00:48:56.13
Eight, okay, because we have
two younger ones here today.
00:48:56.16\00:48:59.03
We'll have to bring them on,
00:48:59.07\00:49:00.94
they weren't
even alive back then,
00:49:00.97\00:49:03.00
but of course we
got the Baby Faith.
00:49:03.04\00:49:04.97
Well, I should call her Faithy,
right not Baby Faith no more.
00:49:05.01\00:49:09.04
And then who else do we have?
00:49:09.08\00:49:11.45
Jonah, and so
they both have been
00:49:11.48\00:49:14.12
and you've probably
seen them on Tiny Tots
00:49:14.15\00:49:16.12
or Kids Time or
something over the years.
00:49:16.15\00:49:18.35
But they're
actually with us today
00:49:18.39\00:49:20.59
and maybe at some point
00:49:20.62\00:49:21.96
we'll get them up for a
couple of minutes to say hello.
00:49:21.99\00:49:25.39
What do we got next, Mollie Su?
00:49:25.43\00:49:26.76
Well, next we're going to look
at some footage of our campus
00:49:26.80\00:49:29.96
and see what we
have accomplished here
00:49:30.00\00:49:33.13
through the power of God.
00:49:33.17\00:49:34.64
You know we did
just view 32 years
00:52:35.05\00:52:37.35
of the physical blessings
00:52:37.39\00:52:39.09
that God has
blessed this ministry with.
00:52:39.12\00:52:40.86
Amen.
00:52:40.89\00:52:42.22
How I wish that we could have
00:52:42.26\00:52:45.53
taken that drone and go to,
00:52:45.56\00:52:48.06
circled all of the souls
00:52:48.10\00:52:49.86
that have come to the Lord
00:52:49.90\00:52:51.83
as a result of this ministry
00:52:51.87\00:52:54.14
that would have
encouraged us more.
00:52:54.17\00:52:56.71
Thank God for all of
his physical blessings,
00:52:56.74\00:52:58.94
but all thank God
for all of those names
00:52:58.97\00:53:01.68
that are now
written down in the Lord's,
00:53:01.71\00:53:03.65
in the Book of Life,
thank you Lord for that.
00:53:03.68\00:53:06.35
And you know,
00:53:06.38\00:53:08.12
even the
leadership in our church
00:53:08.15\00:53:10.59
has recognized and
appreciates so much
00:53:10.62\00:53:14.02
what the Lord is
doing through this ministry.
00:53:14.06\00:53:16.56
And our very own president,
00:53:16.59\00:53:18.53
President Wilson
has sent us a roll in,
00:53:18.56\00:53:22.46
just letting us
know that he appreciates
00:53:22.50\00:53:26.00
what God is doing
through this ministry.
00:53:26.03\00:53:29.44
On behalf of the
General Conference
00:53:29.47\00:53:31.17
and the world wide church family
00:53:31.21\00:53:33.01
of Seventh-day Adventist,
00:53:33.04\00:53:34.38
let me take this opportunity
to congratulate 3ABN,
00:53:34.41\00:53:38.81
Danny Shelton
and the network team
00:53:38.85\00:53:41.22
on their 32nd
anniversary of a network
00:53:41.25\00:53:45.29
that is reaching the world
00:53:45.32\00:53:46.82
with a gospel of Jesus Christ
and the three angels' messages.
00:53:46.86\00:53:52.06
We thank 3ABN and
other supporting ministries
00:53:52.09\00:53:55.50
for their evangelistic
contribution to the growth
00:53:55.53\00:53:59.47
of the Advent movement
00:53:59.50\00:54:00.84
and the spiritual
growth of church members.
00:54:00.87\00:54:04.01
In Gospel Workers page 352,
00:54:04.04\00:54:07.24
Ellen White indicates,
00:54:07.28\00:54:09.14
"The work of God in this Earth
00:54:09.18\00:54:11.38
can never be finished
00:54:11.41\00:54:13.15
until the men and women
00:54:13.18\00:54:15.62
comprising our church membership
00:54:15.65\00:54:18.35
rally to the work
and unite their efforts
00:54:18.39\00:54:21.69
with those of ministers
00:54:21.72\00:54:23.73
and church officers."
00:54:23.76\00:54:25.39
What a fantastic quotation.
00:54:25.43\00:54:28.13
Thank you for joining hands
00:54:28.16\00:54:30.50
with the church to
help finish the work
00:54:30.53\00:54:33.54
and we wish you
God's continued blessings
00:54:33.57\00:54:36.20
in your outreach for him
00:54:36.24\00:54:38.17
as we lift up Christ, his word,
00:54:38.21\00:54:40.84
his righteousness,
his sanctuary service,
00:54:40.88\00:54:43.61
his saving power in
the great controversy,
00:54:43.65\00:54:46.25
his three angels'
messages, his health message,
00:54:46.28\00:54:49.88
his last day
mission to the world
00:54:49.92\00:54:52.89
and his soon second coming.
00:54:52.92\00:54:55.49
God bless you, Maranatha.
00:54:55.52\00:54:57.56
Amen, and thank
you Elder Wilson,
00:54:57.59\00:54:59.56
I'll send him a phone
message the other day,
00:54:59.59\00:55:01.80
he's saying how
much we appreciate him
00:55:01.83\00:55:03.83
in what he does
and taking a stance
00:55:03.87\00:55:06.47
for the cause of God
and not to compromise.
00:55:06.50\00:55:09.77
When you have
nearly 20 million members,
00:55:09.80\00:55:12.07
you gonna have a,
00:55:12.11\00:55:13.44
you know everything's not
always gonna run smoothly.
00:55:13.48\00:55:15.88
So when I said here at 3ABN
and see the few little problems
00:55:15.91\00:55:20.02
that we have is
nothing when you think about.
00:55:20.05\00:55:22.25
Kenny, if you had
20 million members,
00:55:22.28\00:55:24.32
you're trying to get everybody
in one accord to be happy about
00:55:24.35\00:55:27.02
that it'd be tough to do,
00:55:27.06\00:55:28.39
but he does a great job
and he doesn't compromise.
00:55:28.42\00:55:30.76
And we're praying for you
00:55:30.79\00:55:32.13
and we support you
in what you're doing.
00:55:32.16\00:55:34.36
Thank you for the
opportunity of working together
00:55:34.40\00:55:37.87
with the General Conference.
00:55:37.90\00:55:39.23
Speaking of that, we started,
00:55:39.27\00:55:41.34
there was Adventist only had
00:55:41.37\00:55:43.17
the Adventist
Media Center in the 80s.
00:55:43.20\00:55:45.37
That's out in
Thousand Oaks, California.
00:55:45.41\00:55:48.24
It is Written had a ministry
00:55:48.28\00:55:49.61
and I think Breath
of Life was out there.
00:55:49.64\00:55:51.51
They had the Spanish
program, Voice Prophecy Radio,
00:55:51.55\00:55:55.12
but none of those were channels
00:55:55.15\00:55:57.19
or networks to
reach the country.
00:55:57.22\00:55:59.55
Each program
developed a 30 minute program
00:55:59.59\00:56:03.39
that they would either
play on television stations
00:56:03.43\00:56:06.39
or on radio and
they do it some cities
00:56:06.43\00:56:09.40
across America
on Sunday mornings.
00:56:09.43\00:56:11.57
So we didn't really
have Adventist television.
00:56:11.60\00:56:14.10
In fact at this time
00:56:14.14\00:56:15.47
there was not one
television station
00:56:15.50\00:56:17.81
on planet earth giving three...
00:56:17.84\00:56:20.78
Adventist programming,
00:56:20.81\00:56:22.24
which we call
Bible programming 24/7.
00:56:22.28\00:56:25.51
And so when 3ABN came along,
00:56:25.55\00:56:27.98
and so in 1990
General Conference,
00:56:28.02\00:56:30.85
while we're all
pros by then, Kenny.
00:56:30.89\00:56:32.82
So we, you know.
00:56:32.85\00:56:34.19
we started here
the building in '86
00:56:34.22\00:56:36.42
went on the air little bit.
00:56:36.46\00:56:37.79
So by '90, someone
donated us a bus it was a...
00:56:37.83\00:56:41.56
It wasn't
really a bus, it was a,
00:56:41.60\00:56:43.83
it might hold 20 people
00:56:43.87\00:56:45.20
was actually it is
some people used it,
00:56:45.23\00:56:47.74
as said to haul
people like to nursing homes
00:56:47.77\00:56:50.91
and what have you.
00:56:50.94\00:56:52.27
Had glass on it and
on all around the sides,
00:56:52.31\00:56:54.01
but we said wow,
this is a great bus.
00:56:54.04\00:56:56.04
So we loaded up some equipment,
00:56:56.08\00:56:58.08
television equipment
00:56:58.11\00:56:59.45
and headed to the
General Conference
00:56:59.48\00:57:01.45
and actually
showed for the first time
00:57:01.48\00:57:03.75
in the history
the Adventist church
00:57:03.79\00:57:05.85
people could stay at home
00:57:05.89\00:57:07.62
and watch the
General Conference session.
00:57:07.66\00:57:09.69
Most people as
you know can't go.
00:57:09.72\00:57:12.29
Back then we only had
six million Adventists
00:57:12.33\00:57:16.10
prior to 3ABN
five to six million.
00:57:16.13\00:57:18.77
And since that
time not just 3ABN
00:57:18.80\00:57:21.47
but all the media together
00:57:21.50\00:57:23.64
almost 20 million
members since then.
00:57:23.67\00:57:26.11
But I think we have some footage
00:57:26.14\00:57:27.68
there we did in the 1990,
00:57:27.71\00:57:29.51
then we loaded up
boxes after box, after box
00:57:29.54\00:57:32.41
and flew to Utrecht,
Holland, for the 1995.
00:57:32.45\00:57:37.22
And so here we have
some of them right now,
00:57:37.25\00:57:39.95
think that's
Indianapolis, The Dome in 1990,
00:57:39.99\00:57:44.63
it says 55th World Conference
of the Seventh-day Adventist.
00:57:44.66\00:57:48.26
So church members
for the first time
00:57:48.30\00:57:50.63
got to see a General Conference.
00:57:50.67\00:57:53.84
1985 was the first
one I've ever had been to.
00:57:53.87\00:57:57.34
This was in
Holland, in the Netherlands
00:57:57.37\00:57:59.87
and we had a
huge crew over there
00:57:59.91\00:58:01.54
and we were able to take that up
00:58:01.58\00:58:03.41
and let people watch
from around the world
00:58:03.45\00:58:05.81
that couldn't go to
the General Conference.
00:58:05.85\00:58:08.58
This is just more,
00:58:13.69\00:58:15.89
some of the inside shots
00:58:15.92\00:58:17.36
we didn't have so
maybe some of the outsider,
00:58:17.39\00:58:19.23
the whole crowds,
00:58:19.26\00:58:20.60
but everyone of these
you got 50,000, 75,000
00:58:20.63\00:58:23.93
up to a 100,000
people literally.
00:58:23.97\00:58:28.14
We did 2000 also in...
00:58:28.17\00:58:32.61
No, Toronto I think was Toronto
00:58:32.64\00:58:35.18
was then in 2005
00:58:35.21\00:58:38.15
was St. Louis and 2015...
00:58:38.18\00:58:42.18
10. 10 was at Atlanta.
00:58:42.22\00:58:44.52
Thanks Jill. And
then 2015 was San Antonio.
00:58:44.55\00:58:48.72
So all of these,
man I can't believe
00:58:48.76\00:58:50.49
we've been doing this many
General Conference sessions.
00:58:50.53\00:58:54.00
And so the last one
since Hope Channel came,
00:58:54.03\00:58:56.73
we show it they're
doing the actual video of it
00:58:56.77\00:58:59.40
and we rebroadcast it
00:58:59.43\00:59:01.37
to all of the
folk around the world,
00:59:01.40\00:59:03.67
so millions of people can watch
now that never could before.
00:59:03.71\00:59:06.94
So that's been a
blessing to be a part of that.
00:59:06.98\00:59:09.71
I know that it makes
00:59:09.74\00:59:11.45
the laity feel more a
part of the, of the church
00:59:11.48\00:59:15.75
and it's just a,
it's good for all of us
00:59:15.78\00:59:20.19
to be a part and to know
what's going on in the church.
00:59:20.22\00:59:23.69
I think we have a
clip of Reggie Smith,
00:59:23.73\00:59:26.86
he actually
sang there in Atlanta
00:59:26.90\00:59:30.67
and someone try to
get him 2010 right,
00:59:30.70\00:59:34.07
in Atlanta Reggie
Smith singing a song
00:59:34.10\00:59:37.04
that came from the
3ABN pillars Project,
00:59:37.07\00:59:40.24
''I have fixed my mind".
00:59:40.28\00:59:41.61
I have fixed my
mind on another time
00:59:55.36\01:00:02.76
On another time
01:00:02.80\01:00:09.84
And here I mean to stand until
01:00:09.87\01:00:16.71
God gives me more light
01:00:16.75\01:00:23.82
And that is today, today
01:00:23.85\01:00:30.56
Today until
01:00:30.59\01:00:34.00
He comes
01:00:34.03\01:00:37.80
I have fixed my
mind on another time
01:00:37.83\01:00:45.34
On another time
01:00:45.37\01:00:49.61
I have set my
course on the narrow way,
01:00:56.08\01:01:02.72
On the narrow way
01:01:02.76\01:01:09.33
For I know the
time is close at hand
01:01:09.36\01:01:16.07
For which I watch and pray
01:01:16.10\01:01:23.08
And that is today, today
01:01:23.11\01:01:29.75
Today until
01:01:29.78\01:01:33.15
He comes have set my course
01:01:33.19\01:01:40.46
On the narrow
way, on the narrow way
01:01:40.50\01:01:47.87
Even so Lord come quickly
01:01:51.87\01:01:58.38
This is my fervent prayer
01:01:58.41\01:02:04.95
For I've caught
a glimpse of glory
01:02:04.99\01:02:12.03
And I'm longing to be there
01:02:12.06\01:02:19.67
When shall the Son of Man appear
01:02:33.31\01:02:40.12
The trumpet sound its blast
01:02:40.16\01:02:45.99
And Christ
descend in glorious fire
01:02:46.03\01:02:52.93
With all the saints amassed
01:02:52.97\01:02:59.07
We'll rise with those
01:02:59.11\01:03:02.61
Who sleep no more
01:03:02.64\01:03:06.18
To meet Him in the air
01:03:06.21\01:03:13.72
When shall the Son of Man appear
01:03:13.76\01:03:21.73
The Son of Man appear
01:03:23.93\01:03:30.91
Even so Lord come quickly
01:03:32.14\01:03:38.81
ThiS is my fervent prayer
01:03:38.85\01:03:45.32
For I've caught
a glimpse of glory
01:03:45.35\01:03:52.39
And I'm longing to be there
01:03:52.43\01:03:59.53
For I've caught
a glimpse of glory
01:03:59.57\01:04:06.54
And I'm longing
01:04:10.28\01:04:16.52
To
01:04:16.55\01:04:21.29
Be there
01:04:21.32\01:04:29.13
I have fixed my
mind on another time
01:04:29.16\01:04:37.14
On another time
01:04:42.01\01:04:50.02
Oh, Danny, can anybody
sing like Reggie Smith?
01:05:10.44\01:05:12.87
No, you know
what, I don't think so.
01:05:12.91\01:05:15.14
That is amazing.
Amazing, absolutely.
01:05:15.18\01:05:16.75
What a beautiful song
too. Oh, I love that song.
01:05:16.78\01:05:19.71
You know in watching this
01:05:19.75\01:05:23.02
and looking at the rolls
from the General Conference
01:05:23.05\01:05:25.35
it makes, it just makes me proud
01:05:25.39\01:05:27.92
to be a part of a church
01:05:27.96\01:05:29.69
that's reaching the whole world
01:05:29.72\01:05:31.06
with the gospel of
the Lord Jesus Christ.
01:05:31.09\01:05:34.40
There are times when
maybe I'll get a phone call
01:05:34.43\01:05:37.10
and people ask me are
you all independent ministry,
01:05:37.13\01:05:39.93
and I know what
they mean by that,
01:05:39.97\01:05:41.47
but this is what
I always tell them,
01:05:41.50\01:05:43.64
"No, we're not.
01:05:43.67\01:05:45.27
We are totally
dependent on God."
01:05:45.31\01:05:47.48
All right. "We
are not independent."
01:05:47.51\01:05:49.88
I know what they mean
by that is we are not...
01:05:49.91\01:05:53.05
We are self supporting.
01:05:53.08\01:05:54.48
There's a difference
01:05:54.52\01:05:55.85
in self
supporting and independent.
01:05:55.88\01:05:57.39
Doesn't independent just can't
just kind of sound here like
01:05:57.42\01:05:59.45
we're off out here
doing our own things?
01:05:59.49\01:06:01.42
Oh, we're part of the church.
01:06:01.46\01:06:03.16
We are supporting
01:06:03.19\01:06:04.76
ministry of the
Seventh-day Adventist Church
01:06:04.79\01:06:07.26
that is reaching the whole world
01:06:07.30\01:06:08.93
and has such an
evangelistic program.
01:06:08.96\01:06:11.90
I am just so happy
01:06:11.93\01:06:13.77
that God called me out
of darkness and into light
01:06:13.80\01:06:16.34
and brought me into a church
01:06:16.37\01:06:18.14
that's got a vision
to reach the whole world.
01:06:18.17\01:06:20.41
Amen. Amen.
01:06:20.44\01:06:22.24
Well, that's part
of the remnant church
01:06:22.28\01:06:23.85
with the identifying marks
of a remnant church is a church
01:06:23.88\01:06:26.88
that will take the
gospel into all the world,
01:06:26.92\01:06:28.85
am I right, pastors?
01:06:28.88\01:06:30.22
Over here, one that take
01:06:30.25\01:06:31.69
so that's one of
the identifying marks.
01:06:31.72\01:06:33.52
Now when I met Hal and
Mollie back around the late 70s.
01:06:33.56\01:06:37.33
Mollie was a
preacher, Hal was a preacher,
01:06:37.36\01:06:39.59
they both could
get up and preach,
01:06:39.63\01:06:40.96
they had a large church,
it started with few people
01:06:41.00\01:06:43.60
and grew to hundreds.
01:06:43.63\01:06:44.97
But in our church
women didn't preach
01:06:45.00\01:06:46.90
so I'd tell, I'm a teacher...
01:06:46.94\01:06:48.57
What I heard you...
01:06:48.60\01:06:49.94
But that way
they let me teach...
01:06:49.97\01:06:51.31
I thought she was
preaching, I couldn't tell.
01:06:51.34\01:06:53.07
There's a lot of noise going
on in those churches they get,
01:06:53.11\01:06:55.68
people get happy and excited,
you know, that they're there.
01:06:55.71\01:06:58.35
Some of ours we
could use little excitement
01:06:58.38\01:07:01.08
and we'll be
happy about it, right?
01:07:01.12\01:07:03.32
But absolutely,
so when I met Mollie
01:07:03.35\01:07:06.52
she was a...
01:07:06.55\01:07:07.89
both she and Hal, they
were Christians already.
01:07:07.92\01:07:09.52
So many people around the world
01:07:09.56\01:07:11.76
that joined the
Seventh-day Adventist Church
01:07:11.79\01:07:13.40
were already Christians,
Shelley and J.D back here.
01:07:13.43\01:07:15.80
You know many of you
probably number of others of you
01:07:15.83\01:07:18.63
from of different denominations
so you're already Christians
01:07:18.67\01:07:22.77
but people watching 3ABN
said, you know there's truths
01:07:22.80\01:07:26.27
that I've never
really understood,
01:07:26.31\01:07:28.41
and as a church
01:07:28.44\01:07:29.78
we've been commissioned to
give the three angles' messages
01:07:29.81\01:07:32.98
that's in Revelation 14 Chapter
if you want to read it yourself
01:07:33.01\01:07:36.38
sometime or
continue to watch 3ABN.
01:07:36.42\01:07:39.15
But basically it's
an end times message
01:07:39.19\01:07:41.56
for an end times people.
01:07:41.59\01:07:42.92
That's all it really
is, is to let you know
01:07:42.96\01:07:45.59
that we have a gift of prophecy.
01:07:45.63\01:07:48.06
And the gift of prophecy,
what's so important about
01:07:48.10\01:07:51.13
that is the fact, guess what?
01:07:51.17\01:07:52.73
We don't have
to fear the future.
01:07:52.77\01:07:54.17
Amen.
01:07:54.20\01:07:55.54
All right 'cause we
know what's going to happen,
01:07:55.57\01:07:56.91
the Bible tells us
01:07:56.94\01:07:58.27
but a lot of
churches do away with Daniel
01:07:58.31\01:07:59.87
and Revelation and they'll
say, oh, that's old stuff.
01:07:59.91\01:08:02.38
No, if you want to
know what lies ahead.
01:08:02.41\01:08:04.58
For instance, say you're
having in financial troubles
01:08:04.61\01:08:07.62
and you knew that three
weeks from now you had a,
01:08:07.65\01:08:10.62
your ship came in as they say,
you wouldn't be too worried.
01:08:10.65\01:08:13.42
Well, in a spiritual
sense you can be in this world
01:08:13.46\01:08:16.46
and everything
seems to be against you,
01:08:16.49\01:08:18.56
you can be struggling
but you say you know what?
01:08:18.59\01:08:20.86
I have read the
back of the book.
01:08:20.90\01:08:22.43
The back of the book
says and they overcome him,
01:08:22.46\01:08:25.53
the devil, by
the blood of the Lamb
01:08:25.57\01:08:27.77
and the word of
their own testimony.
01:08:27.80\01:08:29.84
So we know that
in the end we win.
01:08:29.87\01:08:32.34
Amen.
01:08:32.37\01:08:33.71
As Christians we win,
01:08:33.74\01:08:35.08
so the
Seventh-day Adventist Church.
01:08:35.11\01:08:36.44
I'm happy to be a part,
01:08:36.48\01:08:38.08
I'm thrilled to be a part of it.
01:08:38.11\01:08:39.81
People say, but your
mother was an Adventist.
01:08:39.85\01:08:42.15
So maybe that's why you,
you know out of tradition
01:08:42.18\01:08:45.75
your dad became one little later
01:08:45.79\01:08:47.16
after you guys
when you were young,
01:08:47.19\01:08:49.02
but I said, "No,
I actually studied,
01:08:49.06\01:08:50.73
I studied with, with Mormons,
I studied with the Baptists,
01:08:50.76\01:08:53.43
I studied with
Jehovah's Witness,
01:08:53.46\01:08:54.86
with Pentecostals,
01:08:54.90\01:08:56.23
I studied with numbers of people
01:08:56.26\01:08:57.63
over the years because
I really wanted truth."
01:08:57.67\01:08:59.97
I don't want to be something
because somebody else was
01:09:00.00\01:09:02.70
and I said, "You
know if this is so,
01:09:02.74\01:09:05.24
if there were a church
01:09:05.27\01:09:07.18
that I believe was
closer to the Bible,
01:09:07.21\01:09:09.98
I'd be a part of that church.
01:09:10.01\01:09:11.35
I'm not stuck on the
name Seventh-day Adventist
01:09:11.38\01:09:13.88
but I happen to believe
that this is God's Church.
01:09:13.92\01:09:16.25
It's a remnant church
giving an end times message
01:09:16.28\01:09:19.15
for an end times people.
01:09:19.19\01:09:20.59
So I'm thrilled
to be a part of it
01:09:20.66\01:09:22.69
and my Uncle Olen
said one time and,
01:09:22.72\01:09:24.96
and I always
loved it because my,
01:09:24.99\01:09:26.59
my folks say
were kind of straight,
01:09:26.63\01:09:28.16
my aunts and uncles,
01:09:28.20\01:09:30.37
and you know
maybe it's a generation
01:09:30.40\01:09:31.87
some of yours were too.
01:09:31.90\01:09:33.23
They just got
straight to the point.
01:09:33.27\01:09:34.87
Anytime something
would come up in the church
01:09:34.90\01:09:37.27
and somebody was want to go
to the left or to the right.
01:09:37.31\01:09:40.84
And people wanted to say,
well, maybe we should consider.
01:09:40.88\01:09:43.68
He said, hey look,
this is what we believe,
01:09:43.71\01:09:46.18
this is what the Bible
says, and if you don't like it,
01:09:46.21\01:09:48.75
I want you go
join another church
01:09:48.78\01:09:50.12
or start your own.
01:09:50.15\01:09:51.49
Don't try to change this one so.
01:09:51.52\01:09:54.02
So sometimes I think
01:09:54.06\01:09:55.39
we need to do
that Greg Thompson.
01:09:55.42\01:09:57.29
Sometimes we need to
just say you know what?
01:09:57.33\01:09:59.09
This is what the Bible says
because we try to bring in this
01:09:59.13\01:10:02.63
and go to the left
and go to the right.
01:10:02.66\01:10:04.00
Now devil doesn't
care which side of the boat
01:10:04.03\01:10:05.63
we fall out of as
Teresa Boone used to say
01:10:05.67\01:10:08.24
just long as we fall out.
01:10:08.27\01:10:10.47
So 3ABN for
what we've been doing
01:10:10.51\01:10:13.71
and as a board
01:10:13.74\01:10:15.08
and I'm thankful for
some of the board members
01:10:15.11\01:10:16.64
that are here, and if
we didn't introduce you
01:10:16.68\01:10:18.25
as a board member earlier
Greg Thompson, Dr. Thompson son
01:10:18.28\01:10:21.75
that Dr. Thompson has now
handed the gavel over to you
01:10:21.78\01:10:26.72
if that's what you
call it and to Greg,
01:10:26.76\01:10:29.42
so thank you so
much for what you do
01:10:29.46\01:10:31.06
and for being here today,
01:10:31.09\01:10:32.83
but I'm so thankful that
3ABN has kept an emphasis
01:10:32.86\01:10:37.57
on the message.
01:10:37.60\01:10:38.93
So there's a lot of things
01:10:38.97\01:10:40.54
we've been accused of
over 32 years especially me.
01:10:40.57\01:10:43.81
But what no one
has ever really said
01:10:43.84\01:10:46.27
and you can try if
you want to go ahead.
01:10:46.31\01:10:50.61
But after 32 years no
one says, well, 3ABN is way,
01:10:50.65\01:10:53.05
they are
legalist on this side or,
01:10:53.08\01:10:54.88
well, they're way
over here so liberal
01:10:54.92\01:10:57.32
because we know what the message
01:10:57.35\01:10:59.05
has always been
from the foundation,
01:10:59.09\01:11:01.36
not only of the
world but of this church
01:11:01.39\01:11:03.29
from what the mission has been,
01:11:03.32\01:11:04.89
and we've
decided to have a board
01:11:04.93\01:11:06.70
who supported you know what?
01:11:06.73\01:11:08.30
We're not going
go the left or right,
01:11:08.33\01:11:09.70
we're going to
continue to give the truth
01:11:09.73\01:11:11.93
as we believe it
and see it in the Bible
01:11:11.97\01:11:14.34
and let the chips
fall where they may,
01:11:14.37\01:11:17.04
not trying to please
people, but please God.
01:11:17.07\01:11:20.88
And if we love people,
we'll tell them the truth.
01:11:20.91\01:11:23.11
We won't try to win a
man by all kinds of means
01:11:23.14\01:11:25.71
and try to say, well, maybe
you should be able to know.
01:11:25.75\01:11:28.72
We just have to stick
with it, so for 32 years
01:11:28.75\01:11:31.52
that's why I believe
3ABN is still going forward
01:11:31.55\01:11:34.39
is not because of any of us
01:11:34.42\01:11:36.06
as I said earlier
it's in spite of us,
01:11:36.09\01:11:38.39
but it's still going
and going to the world
01:11:38.43\01:11:41.20
because you the viewers at home
01:11:41.23\01:11:43.30
and all of us here
have said, you know what?
01:11:43.33\01:11:45.23
We know what God
has called us to give,
01:11:45.27\01:11:47.24
we're not going
to compromise it.
01:11:47.27\01:11:48.70
We're not going to try to change
01:11:48.74\01:11:50.24
what we believe is
the truths of the Bible,
01:11:50.27\01:11:52.87
and we're going to
continue to preach souls
01:11:52.91\01:11:54.61
because Jesus says after
the gospel of the kingdom
01:11:54.64\01:11:57.65
as we mentioned while
ago goes into all the world.
01:11:57.68\01:12:00.18
Then what
happens? The end comes.
01:12:00.22\01:12:02.05
It's the beginning of the world
01:12:02.08\01:12:03.42
now writes the
beginning of eternity.
01:12:03.45\01:12:05.99
Emphasis on an undiluted message
01:12:06.02\01:12:08.99
and an emphasis on evangelism.
01:12:09.02\01:12:10.99
3ABN has impacted
this world with evangelism.
01:12:11.03\01:12:15.43
Well, praise the Lord.
01:12:15.46\01:12:16.80
And we have some, some footage
of some of these men and women
01:12:16.83\01:12:23.00
that have impacted the world
with evangelism through 3ABN.
01:12:23.04\01:12:26.44
Let's look at John Carter.
01:12:26.47\01:12:28.11
This is back in Russia 1992,
01:12:33.82\01:12:37.85
went to a city of three
and a half million people,
01:12:37.89\01:12:40.36
there were only 200
plus Seventh-day Adventist.
01:12:40.39\01:12:44.16
Communism had
just fallen and we...
01:12:44.19\01:12:47.60
John rented this
huge building facility
01:12:47.63\01:12:49.93
and everybody said
no one will show up,
01:12:49.96\01:12:52.60
they don't know
anything about God.
01:12:52.63\01:12:55.60
They don't even
have transportation,
01:12:55.64\01:12:57.34
very few Adventists.
01:12:57.37\01:12:58.91
Look at this is baptism
time, folks after four weeks.
01:12:58.94\01:13:02.14
Praise God.
01:13:02.18\01:13:04.65
It gives me chill bumps.
01:13:04.68\01:13:07.32
2300 and I think 2532 people
01:13:07.35\01:13:12.25
were baptized that day in there
01:13:12.29\01:13:15.36
and they baptized
20 some odd preachers
01:13:15.39\01:13:18.36
for four hours
01:13:18.39\01:13:19.73
people who had never knew
it, had never had a Bible,
01:13:19.76\01:13:23.16
had never known
anything about God.
01:13:23.20\01:13:25.33
When they heard it,
01:13:25.37\01:13:26.70
couldn't get the message enough,
01:13:26.74\01:13:28.07
isn't this amazing?
01:13:28.10\01:13:29.54
So 3ABN was
privileged to team up
01:13:29.57\01:13:31.91
and have been for 30
years with Elder John Carter
01:13:31.94\01:13:35.01
as he continues
to reach the world.
01:13:35.04\01:13:38.15
And I would say he
just got back from Cuba
01:13:38.18\01:13:40.82
and 600 some odd baptisms there
just in the last few weeks,
01:13:40.85\01:13:46.15
and then actually
had some health issues,
01:13:46.19\01:13:50.63
was in the hospital
in Europe and then left
01:13:50.66\01:13:53.09
and now he's in
care where have you.
01:13:53.13\01:13:55.46
So he continues to
travel for the Lord
01:13:55.50\01:13:58.17
and we've seen thousands
and thousands of people
01:13:58.20\01:14:00.57
come to the
knowledge of the truth
01:14:00.60\01:14:02.27
and join the church
01:14:02.30\01:14:03.64
through the ministry
of the Carter Report.
01:14:03.67\01:14:05.41
So many ministries we've
been able to join hands with
01:14:05.44\01:14:08.64
and what a privilege that is.
01:14:08.68\01:14:10.25
You know in 1996,
01:14:10.28\01:14:11.95
there was a great event
that 3ABN was a part of to.
01:14:11.98\01:14:15.52
Let's look at that roll,
and, Danny, tell us about this?
01:14:15.55\01:14:18.02
Okay, good.
01:14:18.05\01:14:20.52
What we had is Mark Finely,
01:14:20.56\01:14:22.62
and this for the
first time in history
01:14:22.66\01:14:24.46
the Adventist church
was speaking here in America
01:14:24.49\01:14:28.16
where 3ABN had installed
dishes throughout Europe
01:14:28.20\01:14:32.63
in a number of
churches all across
01:14:32.67\01:14:34.74
so we brought translators
here from numerous countries.
01:14:34.77\01:14:37.64
This is right here
at our Uplink center.
01:14:37.67\01:14:39.81
We brought all
of these translator,
01:14:39.84\01:14:41.71
translators and to
come as Mark preached.
01:14:41.74\01:14:44.98
It was going out live
01:14:45.01\01:14:46.55
literally throughout
all of America and Europe,
01:14:46.58\01:14:49.68
and guess who was in
charge of all these translators
01:14:49.72\01:14:53.46
and who the General Conference
sent here to make this happen?
01:14:53.49\01:14:56.46
Brad Thorp. Many of
you know Brad Thorp.
01:14:56.49\01:14:58.99
And so Brad came
and it's where he caught
01:14:59.03\01:15:01.16
the vision of, of television
01:15:01.20\01:15:03.30
and later as you know
was in charge of Hope channel
01:15:03.33\01:15:06.43
for a number of years.
01:15:06.47\01:15:07.80
And so to us this was amazing.
01:15:07.84\01:15:09.54
We would go down
01:15:09.57\01:15:10.91
and I would just
love to hear all of these
01:15:10.94\01:15:13.17
and if you stand by the board,
01:15:13.21\01:15:14.78
you'd hear all
these different languages
01:15:14.81\01:15:16.75
at the same
time saying you know,
01:15:16.78\01:15:18.68
isn't this amazing
01:15:18.71\01:15:20.05
that we can to now
send a signal to Europe.
01:15:20.08\01:15:22.58
That was 1996,
01:15:22.62\01:15:24.12
and now
literally around the world.
01:15:24.15\01:15:27.06
And not just in English
01:15:27.09\01:15:28.46
but in every one of
the different languages.
01:15:28.49\01:15:31.33
Listen to this.
01:15:31.36\01:15:32.69
It gives me those chill bumps.
01:16:03.93\01:16:05.86
What an amazing,
01:16:10.13\01:16:12.33
what amazing
opportunity to see this gospel
01:16:12.37\01:16:15.30
starting to go
literally to the world
01:16:15.34\01:16:17.51
and a special thanks to
01:16:17.54\01:16:19.54
McKee's of McKee
Foods, Garwin McNeilus,
01:16:19.57\01:16:23.11
now the McNeilus families
01:16:23.14\01:16:24.58
because they put a lot of money,
01:16:24.61\01:16:26.48
a tremendous amount
of money in purchasing
01:16:26.51\01:16:28.88
hundreds of dishes,
satellite dishes in Europe
01:16:28.92\01:16:32.59
and helped us put up
our first European dish
01:16:32.62\01:16:36.49
that went outside of
America that literally sent this
01:16:36.52\01:16:39.79
so they put tremendous
amounts of money in it,
01:16:39.83\01:16:42.26
and churches they would have
01:16:42.30\01:16:43.63
as many as 60,000 people a night
01:16:43.67\01:16:46.33
coming in Europe to
hear Mark Finley preach
01:16:46.37\01:16:49.37
and there in result in hundreds
01:16:49.40\01:16:51.17
and even thousands of baptisms.
01:16:51.21\01:16:53.61
And so for us to
be a part of that
01:16:53.64\01:16:55.41
the very first time taking it
01:16:55.44\01:16:57.11
to the world was a great thrill.
01:16:57.15\01:16:59.28
We did a net '95 the
year before here in America
01:16:59.31\01:17:03.62
but '96 was the first
time we went to Europe.
01:17:03.65\01:17:06.19
That's right.
01:17:06.22\01:17:07.56
And Mark Finely was
the preacher for that.
01:17:07.59\01:17:11.16
And now Mark Finley
01:17:11.19\01:17:12.66
is the General Conference
vice president of evangelism.
01:17:12.69\01:17:15.96
And you know he
sent something to us
01:17:16.00\01:17:18.17
to thanking us for what
01:17:18.20\01:17:19.83
we have done through for him.
01:17:19.87\01:17:23.71
Thirty two years ago,
01:17:23.74\01:17:25.41
Three Angels Broadcasting was
a vision, a vision in the mind.
01:17:25.44\01:17:30.11
It was a dream of
what God might do.
01:17:30.15\01:17:34.32
A dream to take the
gospel to North America
01:17:34.35\01:17:36.95
and then on to the world.
01:17:36.99\01:17:38.65
It was Jesus who
said in Matthew 24:14,
01:17:38.69\01:17:42.09
"This gospel of the kingdom
01:17:42.12\01:17:43.46
shall be preached
into all the world
01:17:43.49\01:17:44.99
as a witness to all nations
then the end shall come."
01:17:45.03\01:17:48.60
God is using a variety of means
to accomplish that commission
01:17:48.63\01:17:53.94
to take the gospel to the world
01:17:53.97\01:17:55.67
and one of those means is
Three Angels Broadcasting,
01:17:55.70\01:17:58.57
God has blessed the
ministry for the last 32 years.
01:17:58.61\01:18:02.04
Tens of thousands of
people have come to Christ.
01:18:02.08\01:18:04.48
They've come to know
the truth of the Bible
01:18:04.51\01:18:06.35
and they become part of
God's last day movement,
01:18:06.38\01:18:09.05
his last day message.
01:18:09.08\01:18:11.25
The future for the proclamation
of God's message on television
01:18:11.29\01:18:15.56
is still great.
01:18:15.59\01:18:16.99
So I want to thank
Three Angels Broadcasting
01:18:17.03\01:18:21.96
for the impact
01:18:22.00\01:18:23.33
that they are
making around the world,
01:18:23.37\01:18:26.10
and I want to wish them
01:18:26.13\01:18:27.74
God's richest
blessings in this vision.
01:18:27.77\01:18:32.91
Not yet fulfilled to take
the gospel to every nation,
01:18:32.94\01:18:37.15
kindred tongue and people,
01:18:37.18\01:18:38.95
this vision to touch people
with the three angels' message,
01:18:38.98\01:18:43.28
this vision to move ahead
01:18:43.32\01:18:46.76
in the unreached
areas of the world,
01:18:46.79\01:18:49.16
the great cities of the world.
01:18:49.19\01:18:50.63
How are they going to be reached
01:18:50.66\01:18:51.99
if it's not for television?
01:18:52.03\01:18:53.36
I thank God for
Three Angels Broadcasting
01:18:53.40\01:18:56.26
and for every ministry
in television, radio, media,
01:18:56.30\01:19:01.94
that God is using
to finish his work,
01:19:01.97\01:19:04.84
so happy 32nd Anniversary.
01:19:04.87\01:19:08.94
May your ministry increase,
01:19:08.98\01:19:11.45
expand for the glory
of the kingdom of God.
01:19:11.48\01:19:14.88
Amen. Amen.
01:19:14.92\01:19:16.95
Thank you, Pastor Mark.
01:19:16.99\01:19:18.32
We appreciate Mark will have
many, many stars in his crown
01:19:18.35\01:19:21.76
because he's literally
preached around the world,
01:19:21.79\01:19:24.49
and what a tremendous gift,
01:19:24.53\01:19:26.36
but not only a gift,
01:19:26.39\01:19:27.86
you have to be
willing to be used of God,
01:19:27.90\01:19:30.43
and he's been
willing to be used of God.
01:19:30.47\01:19:32.47
He traveled to Poland,
01:19:32.50\01:19:33.84
your dad used
to travel with Mark
01:19:33.87\01:19:35.54
and do all the health
programs Dr. Thompson.
01:19:35.57\01:19:37.81
Ahead of time
you get people there
01:19:37.84\01:19:39.37
by teaching health.
01:19:39.41\01:19:40.84
Dr. Thompson would go
01:19:40.88\01:19:42.34
and then Mark
would do the evangelism.
01:19:42.38\01:19:44.91
And it's resulted in,
01:19:44.95\01:19:47.42
I'm sure hundreds
of thousands of souls
01:19:47.45\01:19:49.58
coming to Jesus over the years,
01:19:49.62\01:19:51.52
it's been great working with
Pastor Mark all those years.
01:19:51.55\01:19:54.69
And it's great to have him
as a friend to the ministry
01:19:54.72\01:19:57.43
and he is a good friend.
01:19:57.46\01:19:59.16
And that was in 1996
that we had that net.
01:19:59.19\01:20:03.06
In 1997, we had another net
01:20:03.10\01:20:05.50
and I think we've
got a roll on it too.
01:20:05.53\01:20:07.54
This is actually
with the Amazing Facts,
01:20:10.87\01:20:12.84
the church
didn't do on that year
01:20:12.87\01:20:14.41
so we said, hey why
not do it right here.
01:20:14.44\01:20:16.34
So Dough Batchelor
came and this actually
01:20:16.38\01:20:19.01
was what for
some of the folks here
01:20:19.05\01:20:20.42
you'll be
surprised Boss Auditorium
01:20:20.45\01:20:22.85
which is just behind.
01:20:22.88\01:20:24.22
We keep building and adding on.
01:20:24.25\01:20:26.39
And I don't know
what that was about,
01:20:26.42\01:20:28.02
man Doug with the guitars there.
01:20:28.06\01:20:30.56
I'm glad there was
no audio on that one.
01:20:30.59\01:20:33.96
And we were young enough then,
01:20:34.00\01:20:36.10
I remember that Doug
could do a backward flip
01:20:36.13\01:20:38.47
right on the stage.
01:20:38.50\01:20:39.83
And you could
walk on your hands.
01:20:39.87\01:20:41.20
I'd walk on my hands
01:20:41.24\01:20:42.57
and he would do
backward flip which show,
01:20:42.60\01:20:43.94
it show what healthy
living you know can do for you,
01:20:43.97\01:20:46.71
that also had to do
with you too for sure.
01:20:46.74\01:20:49.98
But we did that and
5 to almost 6000 people
01:20:50.01\01:20:54.28
were baptized through
this satellite seminar
01:20:54.32\01:20:56.89
that we knew of there
because we had home churches,
01:20:56.92\01:21:00.46
and so what Amazing
Facts did a great job
01:21:00.49\01:21:03.16
of literally
getting study guides
01:21:03.19\01:21:05.79
into everybody across America
and said, have home churches,
01:21:05.83\01:21:09.13
churches can do it,
01:21:09.16\01:21:10.50
but have these,
invite your friends.
01:21:10.53\01:21:12.23
And at the end of this,
01:21:12.27\01:21:13.60
this in 1997 almost
6000 people was baptized
01:21:13.64\01:21:18.91
in the Adventist Church
01:21:18.94\01:21:20.41
through this little effort
01:21:20.44\01:21:21.78
from just across
the street over here so,
01:21:21.81\01:21:23.61
I mean the power of television,
radio is just amazing.
01:21:23.65\01:21:28.62
And Pastor
Batchelor is another one
01:21:28.65\01:21:30.92
that's a really good
friend to this ministry.
01:21:30.95\01:21:32.42
Absolutely.
01:21:32.45\01:21:33.79
And he sent us his
thanks as well, Danny.
01:21:33.82\01:21:36.66
Hello friends.
01:21:37.86\01:21:39.19
This is Pastor Doug Batchelor
and we here at Amazing Facts
01:21:39.23\01:21:42.20
want to extend a
special congratulations
01:21:42.23\01:21:44.40
and praise the Lord to 3ABN
on your 32 year anniversary.
01:21:44.43\01:21:49.17
You know it's really
been a wonderful thing
01:21:49.20\01:21:51.24
to watch the way the Lord
has opened doors and blessed,
01:21:51.27\01:21:53.88
and we've had such a
warm family relationship
01:21:53.91\01:21:56.24
working together
01:21:56.28\01:21:57.61
doing revivals and
evangelistic programs
01:21:57.65\01:21:59.71
for about 25 years now.
01:21:59.75\01:22:02.08
I think one reason
the Lord has blessed 3ABN
01:22:02.12\01:22:04.45
so much is because
they have opened their arms
01:22:04.49\01:22:07.42
and allowed God
to use the ministry
01:22:07.46\01:22:09.56
as a platform to share
what many ministries are doing
01:22:09.59\01:22:13.56
and you know the principle
01:22:13.60\01:22:14.93
"As you give it
will be given unto you."
01:22:14.96\01:22:16.93
And I think that's
why the Lord has blessed
01:22:16.97\01:22:19.33
and expanded the
influence of 3ABN.
01:22:19.37\01:22:22.67
Greetings to all
of our friends there,
01:22:22.70\01:22:24.47
Lord bless you
Danny and the team,
01:22:24.51\01:22:26.61
and whenever we get together
it's like working with family.
01:22:26.64\01:22:29.14
We look forward to
working together again,
01:22:29.18\01:22:31.15
and we expect that God
will continue to supply
01:22:31.18\01:22:34.05
as we share the
good news in the future.
01:22:34.08\01:22:36.02
The Lord bless you
01:22:36.05\01:22:37.39
and once again praise
God and congratulation.
01:22:37.42\01:22:39.32
Thank you, Pastor Doug.
01:22:39.35\01:22:40.69
Many of you know and
probably seen his book,
01:22:40.72\01:22:43.06
The Richest Caveman,
01:22:43.09\01:22:44.43
the guy actually
lived was a hippie,
01:22:44.46\01:22:46.56
lived in a cave in California
there in Palm Springs up
01:22:46.59\01:22:50.33
in the mountains for a while
01:22:50.37\01:22:51.83
and used to come
down in the streets
01:22:51.87\01:22:53.70
to eat out the garbage can
and without any clothes on.
01:22:53.74\01:22:57.74
He got in
trouble from time to time
01:22:57.77\01:22:59.71
and then you find
out why would he do that,
01:22:59.74\01:23:01.98
his dad was worth
hundreds of millions of dollars,
01:23:02.01\01:23:04.95
you know and his mother.
01:23:04.98\01:23:06.35
They're both very, very wealthy
but he was a rebellious kid
01:23:06.38\01:23:09.52
and said, I'm just
going to make life on my own,
01:23:09.55\01:23:11.99
I don't need the
money, I don't want anything.
01:23:12.02\01:23:14.22
About every year
01:23:14.26\01:23:15.59
they kicked him out of
whatever school he went to
01:23:15.62\01:23:17.43
and didn't have very
many more schools to go to,
01:23:17.46\01:23:20.00
so he just decided to
take off, had the long hair
01:23:20.03\01:23:22.86
and now he doesn't have
to worry about long hair.
01:23:22.90\01:23:25.13
But he's now to see
01:23:25.17\01:23:26.87
what God has done somebody
left was a half of a Bible,
01:23:26.90\01:23:30.41
and a Bible in the cave
and he began to read it,
01:23:30.44\01:23:34.38
came to Jesus,
and Doug Batchelor,
01:23:34.41\01:23:36.54
I mean honestly,
01:23:36.58\01:23:37.91
if I look at all the people
the letters that we've got
01:23:37.95\01:23:40.18
for 25 to 30 years
01:23:40.22\01:23:42.28
I would say Doug
Batchelor's name has been on
01:23:42.32\01:23:45.05
as many as any of these
thousands of people said,
01:23:45.09\01:23:47.86
I was watching the
Amazing Facts on 3ABN.
01:23:47.89\01:23:50.46
I was watching
Pastor Doug Batchelor
01:23:50.49\01:23:52.96
and I came to Jesus
and joined the church,
01:23:52.99\01:23:55.46
so literally again
hundreds of thousands
01:23:55.50\01:23:57.77
may even, maybe millions.
01:23:57.80\01:24:00.14
We'll see when we get,
01:24:00.17\01:24:01.50
that's why heaven
needs to be for eternity.
01:24:01.54\01:24:03.47
We'll need all of
that time to discuss
01:24:03.51\01:24:06.21
how good God
was to all of us to,
01:24:06.24\01:24:08.44
to bring us from here
01:24:08.48\01:24:10.55
to take us to
live forever with him.
01:24:10.58\01:24:12.85
So if any of you
parents are discouraged
01:24:12.88\01:24:15.08
because you've
got wayward children,
01:24:15.12\01:24:16.89
be encouraged,
01:24:16.92\01:24:18.25
look what God has done
through Dough Batchelor
01:24:18.29\01:24:20.72
who lived in a cave.
01:24:20.76\01:24:23.43
You know, we're talking about
01:24:23.46\01:24:24.83
how 3ABN has impacted the
world with, with evangelism.
01:24:24.86\01:24:29.16
We went from Pastor
Carter in Russia to mid '96
01:24:29.20\01:24:34.54
then satellite seminar in '97
01:24:34.57\01:24:37.67
and now in 1998 Dwight Nelson...
01:24:37.71\01:24:42.14
That's right Pioneer
Memorial with 3ABN went there.
01:24:42.18\01:24:44.68
He did...
01:24:44.71\01:24:46.05
We sent it all over to
Europe and America as well.
01:24:46.08\01:24:47.92
All over the world we
have these evangelists
01:24:47.95\01:24:51.19
that would be
preaching in a church
01:24:51.22\01:24:54.06
and that's the only
audience that they would have,
01:24:54.09\01:24:56.93
but with the cameras rolling,
01:24:56.96\01:24:58.89
it can go all over the world
01:24:58.93\01:25:00.43
and what a harvest of
souls has been a result of that.
01:25:00.46\01:25:05.13
Let's look at his
roll from Dwight Nelson.
01:25:05.17\01:25:07.54
It's called The Next Millennium
01:25:10.71\01:25:12.74
and so Dwight at
the university crowds
01:25:12.77\01:25:15.74
that he had
each night University
01:25:15.78\01:25:17.71
at Andrews University
01:25:17.75\01:25:19.38
there the pastor
of Pioneer Memorial.
01:25:19.41\01:25:21.52
I think he's been there
20 some odd years or so,
01:25:21.55\01:25:24.59
been very that the
people love him there.
01:25:24.62\01:25:26.89
He's always
literally given the gospel
01:25:26.92\01:25:30.46
not only there
but around the world,
01:25:30.49\01:25:31.99
and of course Pioneer does
their own television programs,
01:25:32.03\01:25:34.76
it's been amazing.
01:25:34.80\01:25:36.13
When we started no
one had television.
01:25:36.16\01:25:38.00
Now to look at all
of these ministries
01:25:38.03\01:25:39.83
and Adventists
universities, the colleges,
01:25:39.87\01:25:42.44
even the academies
doing their own programming,
01:25:42.47\01:25:44.67
and grade schools now use,
01:25:44.71\01:25:46.31
kids using their smart phones
01:25:46.34\01:25:47.98
and put together
little, little programs.
01:25:48.01\01:25:50.95
I mean it's amazing
01:25:50.98\01:25:52.31
the technology
that God has given us.
01:25:52.35\01:25:54.52
This also reaped
literally thousands of people
01:25:54.55\01:25:58.12
in America and Europe.
01:25:58.15\01:25:59.49
We were still
just going to America
01:25:59.52\01:26:00.86
and Europe at this time,
01:26:00.89\01:26:02.32
but joined a church
through Pastor Dwight Nelson.
01:26:02.36\01:26:06.23
Then Danny in 1999,
we changed gears a bit.
01:26:06.26\01:26:10.73
We went with little red
with Pastor Alejandro Bullón,
01:26:10.77\01:26:15.67
and this one of course
wasn't in English was it Johnny,
01:26:15.70\01:26:19.07
this one was in
Spanish, and so we thank God
01:26:19.11\01:26:22.21
that we were expanding
01:26:22.24\01:26:23.98
to our Spanish
speaking family here at 3ABN.
01:26:24.01\01:26:29.48
Let's look at that roll.
01:26:29.52\01:26:31.65
Wow, look at the crowds.
01:26:31.69\01:26:34.39
Elder Bullón, everywhere
I was in Brazil with him
01:26:34.42\01:26:37.63
back as far as
1990, tremendous crowds,
01:26:37.66\01:26:40.40
he like Elder Carter
and some of the others
01:26:40.43\01:26:42.83
just has a gift
that God has given him
01:26:42.86\01:26:44.73
anointing of the Holy Spirit.
01:26:44.77\01:26:46.60
And he's another
one that literally
01:26:46.63\01:26:48.57
when we talk about
hundreds of thousands of people
01:26:48.60\01:26:51.61
coming to the Lord
through his ministry
01:26:51.64\01:26:54.04
over the last 30-40 forty years.
01:26:54.08\01:26:55.64
John, I think there's
no exaggeration right,
01:26:55.68\01:26:57.55
people around the world,
01:26:57.58\01:26:59.35
literally
Spanish speaking people
01:26:59.38\01:27:01.25
and English
speaking around the world.
01:27:01.28\01:27:03.85
I mean he's an
incredible evangelist.
01:27:03.89\01:27:05.99
These are the kind of folk
01:27:06.02\01:27:07.36
we need to be
lifted up in prayer
01:27:07.39\01:27:08.79
all the time and this man,
01:27:08.82\01:27:11.43
and it seems like he never ages
01:27:11.46\01:27:12.86
either because that's a
human he continues the strength
01:27:12.89\01:27:15.70
that God gives him
continue to minister
01:27:15.73\01:27:18.93
is just amazing.
01:27:18.97\01:27:21.00
And then the next was
in 2000, the year 2000
01:27:21.04\01:27:26.07
and that was our
own Pastor Ken Cox
01:27:26.11\01:27:28.64
and it was
entitled, The Time of the End.
01:27:28.68\01:27:32.01
Paul revere...
01:27:34.88\01:27:36.22
And this was in
Chicago, I believe.
01:27:36.25\01:27:37.99
Some of you were
there, you remember it.
01:27:38.02\01:27:40.26
And once again I say
this about all of them
01:27:40.29\01:27:43.09
but these guys literally
travel around the world.
01:27:43.12\01:27:45.93
I've seen him down
in Sydney Opera House
01:27:45.96\01:27:48.46
have it full every night.
01:27:48.50\01:27:50.17
No matter where he
goes he's able to draw.
01:27:50.20\01:27:51.90
Look at these crowds
of folk and this is 3ABN,
01:27:51.93\01:27:54.90
and of course Kenneth's ministry
01:27:54.94\01:27:56.40
together in Chicago area
01:27:56.44\01:27:58.14
which resulted in
hundreds of baptisms
01:27:58.17\01:28:00.68
of people knowing Jesus
01:28:00.71\01:28:02.04
so really evangelism,
01:28:02.08\01:28:04.61
evangelism,
evangelism, am I right?
01:28:04.65\01:28:07.58
That's literally
what we have to continue
01:28:07.62\01:28:09.88
to concentrate on,
01:28:09.92\01:28:11.35
take this gospel of the
kingdom into all the world.
01:28:11.39\01:28:14.19
Elder Cox has been doing this
01:28:14.22\01:28:15.82
for I'm going to say
probably 50 years or so,
01:28:15.86\01:28:18.73
and he continues to be a
great witness to the Lord
01:28:18.76\01:28:21.96
and what a great
influence he's had on my life
01:28:22.00\01:28:25.47
because I see a man who
believes what he teaches
01:28:25.50\01:28:29.14
and he lives a
great Christian example
01:28:29.17\01:28:32.04
very kind, very
humble, and willing to talk,
01:28:32.07\01:28:35.51
pray with me any time
I've ever asked him to
01:28:35.54\01:28:37.85
he's been there for me.
01:28:37.88\01:28:39.21
Thank you Brother Cox.
Oh, we love Pastor Cox.
01:28:39.25\01:28:41.48
You know something about
01:28:41.52\01:28:42.98
these evangelistic
crusades that we take.
01:28:43.02\01:28:45.69
We just don't tape them
and air them one time, do we?
01:28:45.72\01:28:48.79
We aired them
over and over and over.
01:28:48.82\01:28:51.16
You know people
can get born again
01:28:51.19\01:28:53.09
and come to the
Lord Jesus Christ,
01:28:53.13\01:28:54.63
their lives totally
be changed on a rerun.
01:28:54.66\01:28:57.63
It happens all the time.
01:28:57.67\01:28:59.73
Thank God for reruns
01:28:59.77\01:29:01.67
and so each one of
these crusades that we,
01:29:01.70\01:29:06.51
that we tape, that we
aired all over the world,
01:29:06.54\01:29:08.64
then we aired
them again and again,
01:29:08.68\01:29:10.75
and the results just
kept multiplying and then,
01:29:10.78\01:29:14.92
and David Asscherick.
01:29:14.95\01:29:17.02
Oh, he came on the
scene, he was so young.
01:29:17.05\01:29:20.19
He was when he
first came to the Lord
01:29:20.22\01:29:22.39
and what he's doing
in Discovery Prophecy.
01:29:22.42\01:29:25.66
I think that's
around, we'll show it here.
01:29:25.69\01:29:27.63
I think it's around 2001
01:29:27.66\01:29:30.10
or what have you
that he actually came.
01:29:30.13\01:29:32.73
He was a skate boarder.
01:29:32.77\01:29:34.47
I think a punk rocker
is what he said, and he...
01:29:34.50\01:29:37.34
but he became a
vegetarian and ended up
01:29:37.37\01:29:39.54
going to a
vegetarian restaurant somewhere
01:29:39.57\01:29:42.68
and ended up finding out
about Seventh-day Adventist
01:29:42.71\01:29:45.78
and about the
Bible and about God
01:29:45.81\01:29:48.28
and about Jesus' saving power.
01:29:48.32\01:29:51.05
And this man, I mean in
his 20s started preaching,
01:29:51.09\01:29:55.42
didn't go to the cemetery...
01:29:55.46\01:29:56.93
seminary, didn't go
to cemetery to learn.
01:29:56.96\01:29:59.63
And I mean
01:29:59.66\01:30:01.00
what an incredible
ministry that he has,
01:30:01.03\01:30:03.57
he's still preaching,
he travels around the world
01:30:03.60\01:30:06.00
and has been on
3ABN many, many times,
01:30:06.03\01:30:08.70
still does programming with us.
01:30:08.74\01:30:10.64
And I don't know, he was
an Adventist five or six years
01:30:10.67\01:30:15.08
when I heard him
preach and I said, "He knows,
01:30:15.11\01:30:17.81
I think he knows a lot
more about the Bible than I do."
01:30:17.85\01:30:20.62
And what we believe is
01:30:20.65\01:30:21.98
he's just got an
incredible brain and,
01:30:22.02\01:30:24.62
and he knows how to
bring it in and then get it out
01:30:24.65\01:30:27.69
where you can understand it so,
01:30:27.72\01:30:29.42
thank you Pastor David
for what you've been doing
01:30:29.46\01:30:31.56
for the cause of
God all these years.
01:30:31.59\01:30:33.36
You know he's
another one of those
01:30:33.40\01:30:34.73
that we get the
letters, the e-mails,
01:30:34.76\01:30:36.60
the reports of
what an encouragement,
01:30:36.63\01:30:39.27
what a blessing that he
has been to so many people.
01:30:39.30\01:30:41.90
And if we take him off
'cause some of his programs
01:30:41.94\01:30:44.87
that we air, we aired
him quite a few times.
01:30:44.91\01:30:47.38
We can take them
off and there are people
01:30:47.41\01:30:49.04
that are going to be calling
saying put him back on 3ABN,
01:30:49.08\01:30:52.11
they love him so much.
01:30:52.15\01:30:54.02
And we had
World Coverage in 2000
01:30:54.05\01:30:58.42
and let's see the roll on that.
01:30:58.45\01:31:00.72
This is actually
where we're building
01:31:05.29\01:31:08.60
the Uplink that
takes it to Europe.
01:31:08.63\01:31:11.07
This is how we began to go
to the world to begin with.
01:31:11.10\01:31:14.17
So we had a big 30
foot dish but this is,
01:31:14.20\01:31:17.11
there's a McNeilus truck
so they supplied all of the,
01:31:17.14\01:31:19.91
made a deal with the
local concrete company,
01:31:19.94\01:31:22.31
they supply all the
concrete and force at no cost.
01:31:22.34\01:31:27.45
So there's our
dish that did America
01:31:27.48\01:31:30.32
than this one
actually took us to Europe
01:31:30.35\01:31:32.69
and eventually around the world
01:31:32.72\01:31:34.49
because Moses Primo
had come on the scene
01:31:34.52\01:31:37.39
some time before this.
01:31:37.43\01:31:39.69
And so we'll talk a little
bit more about that later bit
01:31:39.73\01:31:42.76
around 2000 here is where
we literally for the first time
01:31:42.80\01:31:47.40
was able to take the
three angels' messages
01:31:47.44\01:31:50.17
to the entire world.
01:31:50.21\01:31:51.57
Here's the grand opening,
there's Pastor Rick Warren,
01:31:51.61\01:31:54.54
May Chung, some of these
folks now resting in Jesus,
01:31:54.58\01:31:57.48
Leonard Westfall
there, we see Bill Hulsey,
01:31:57.51\01:32:00.58
number Johnny
Clarke, there we go at,
01:32:00.62\01:32:04.75
Owen Troy and
number of those folks
01:32:04.79\01:32:08.76
that now are resting in
Jesus but you know what,
01:32:08.79\01:32:11.13
the hope that
they have is alive.
01:32:11.16\01:32:15.13
That's right.
01:32:15.16\01:32:16.50
And very soon the next thing
01:32:16.53\01:32:17.87
they will know literally
01:32:17.90\01:32:19.33
is the second coming
of the Lord Jesus Christ,
01:32:19.37\01:32:21.87
but all of these
people invested their time,
01:32:21.90\01:32:24.57
their talents, their
finances for many, many years,
01:32:24.61\01:32:27.71
and without these folk
01:32:27.74\01:32:29.44
it wouldn't have been possible
01:32:29.48\01:32:30.81
and all of you at home, so
we keep saying that to you.
01:32:30.85\01:32:33.21
We couldn't do any
of this without you.
01:32:33.25\01:32:35.02
So thank you for
your love and your prayers
01:32:35.05\01:32:37.02
and financial
support and it's not easy.
01:32:37.05\01:32:39.55
We don't have money in a bank.
01:32:39.59\01:32:40.92
In fact right now
we actually owe money.
01:32:40.96\01:32:42.99
We try not to do that
but when we look at it
01:32:43.02\01:32:45.93
from a business standpoint
01:32:45.96\01:32:47.53
things doesn't
look too bright for 3ABN
01:32:47.56\01:32:50.13
but as I told the auditors
the other day you know what,
01:32:50.17\01:32:53.10
I'm going to be
nothing but positive
01:32:53.13\01:32:54.74
because for 32 years
God supplied every need.
01:32:54.77\01:32:58.17
And as long as we keep
the message that God's told us
01:32:58.21\01:33:00.98
to get to the world,
focus on our mission,
01:33:01.01\01:33:03.38
guess what's going to happen.
01:33:03.41\01:33:04.75
He's going to
continue to supply every need.
01:33:04.78\01:33:07.68
And so 2000 was the first
time we put up the European dish
01:33:07.72\01:33:12.12
and or the dish that
actually it took us to Europe,
01:33:12.15\01:33:14.72
then later we begin to
broadcast around the world
01:33:14.76\01:33:17.69
and that was at Toronto I
think, wasn't Moses in 2000,
01:33:17.73\01:33:22.53
in the year 2000
was the first time
01:33:22.56\01:33:24.17
we were able to
reach the Pacific Rim
01:33:24.20\01:33:26.40
and New Guinea and all of that.
01:33:26.43\01:33:27.77
Papua New Guinea in 2000.
01:33:27.80\01:33:30.04
Let's see that roll.
01:33:30.07\01:33:32.67
Oh, here's the Governor-General,
01:33:32.71\01:33:34.21
we call him
President, Sir Silas Atopare.
01:33:34.24\01:33:37.41
I was able to greet him there.
01:33:37.45\01:33:39.31
He brought us to the palace
and guess what they made us,
01:33:39.35\01:33:41.98
a vegetarian, vegetarian meal,
01:33:42.02\01:33:45.12
I wish I could get rid
of some of the weight again.
01:33:45.15\01:33:47.89
And as I said,
who's that thin guy.
01:33:47.92\01:33:50.59
Oh, there we are, we
have a license literally,
01:33:50.63\01:33:54.23
there's an
Ambassador Bien Tejano
01:33:54.26\01:33:56.43
was very instrumental.
01:33:56.46\01:33:57.80
He's the ambassador
from the Philippines
01:33:57.83\01:34:00.40
to New Guinea.
01:34:00.44\01:34:02.00
And so this was 1999, I believe.
01:34:02.04\01:34:05.41
And thanks to Moses
Primo a lot of hard work
01:34:05.44\01:34:08.34
and Ambassador Tejano
that we have a license
01:34:08.38\01:34:11.88
and we're still broadcasting
01:34:11.91\01:34:13.52
and literally thousands
and thousands of people
01:34:13.55\01:34:16.62
are coming to
churches all across New Guinea.
01:34:16.65\01:34:20.26
I'm told by the ambassador
because of 3ABN being there.
01:34:20.29\01:34:24.53
So we appreciate
Brother Silas Atopare,
01:34:24.56\01:34:28.70
the Governor-General
who made this possible to,
01:34:28.73\01:34:31.80
so these are our
actually operating license.
01:34:31.83\01:34:35.10
And he came to
America a little later
01:34:35.14\01:34:37.51
and I interviewed him here,
I think he's on just briefly.
01:34:37.54\01:34:41.48
And maybe you could
share with us what that is.
01:34:41.51\01:34:44.61
I heard lot about
3ABN packet from my country
01:34:44.65\01:34:48.92
and I always wanted to come here
01:34:48.95\01:34:51.09
and to see the place for
myself and see how the things,
01:34:51.12\01:34:55.12
how you televise the word of God
01:34:55.16\01:34:57.33
throughout the world
01:34:57.36\01:34:58.73
and now that the Lord
had made it possible for me
01:34:58.76\01:35:01.96
to travel to America,
and it was my first time,
01:35:02.00\01:35:05.33
it is my first time to
come to the United States
01:35:05.37\01:35:08.97
with my wife particularly
to visit the 3ABN station.
01:35:09.00\01:35:14.21
The department
there in Papua New Guinea,
01:35:14.24\01:35:18.91
the Investment
Promotion Authority
01:35:18.95\01:35:21.45
asked me to delivert his to you.
01:35:21.48\01:35:23.92
This is a
certificate of registration
01:35:23.95\01:35:26.39
of overseas
company and this is about
01:35:26.42\01:35:29.12
the Three Angels
Broadcasting Network
01:35:29.16\01:35:31.93
officially
registered in Papua New Guinea.
01:35:31.96\01:35:35.06
Wonderful, praise the Lord.
01:35:35.10\01:35:36.43
And that was a great
praise the Lord by you, Danny.
01:35:38.67\01:35:40.90
Oh, it was.
01:35:40.94\01:35:42.27
It was a miracle, actually I
don't have time to go into it
01:35:42.30\01:35:44.47
but they were actually...
01:35:44.51\01:35:46.27
It was between us
01:35:46.31\01:35:47.64
and another the world's
largest Christian Network
01:35:47.68\01:35:50.55
who was to get this
license and it ended up
01:35:50.58\01:35:53.98
the Lord opened up the
doors and it end up going to us
01:35:54.02\01:35:57.55
as well as in the Philippines,
01:35:57.59\01:35:59.35
we hear a little bit later on
01:35:59.39\01:36:01.39
to be able to reach 24
million potential viewers
01:36:01.42\01:36:04.73
in the Philippines.
01:36:04.76\01:36:06.09
I mean that's absolutely,
Metro Manila, amazing.
01:36:06.13\01:36:08.86
That is, you know in 2001
we went to India and I was,
01:36:08.90\01:36:13.34
I was part of 3ABN then,
01:36:13.37\01:36:15.27
and I remember the
excitement of India.
01:36:15.30\01:36:18.07
Absolutely.
01:36:18.11\01:36:19.44
We've got to roll
let's, let's show this.
01:36:19.47\01:36:21.54
Seeing is
believing as you would say.
01:36:21.58\01:36:23.71
They would bring as
many as these trucks
01:36:23.75\01:36:26.05
that have 200 trucks a
night that McNeilus has rented
01:36:26.08\01:36:28.82
to work in there with Maranatha,
01:36:28.85\01:36:31.09
they're building churches.
01:36:31.12\01:36:32.45
They would have 120
people in the back of the truck.
01:36:32.49\01:36:35.12
Look at the crowds each
night 40,000 maybe 50,000
01:36:35.16\01:36:40.03
watches it continues to go
and these people are sitting.
01:36:40.06\01:36:43.16
This is not in
seats or in a building,
01:36:43.20\01:36:45.20
this is outside,
they're sitting on the ground
01:36:45.23\01:36:46.84
and they've been...
01:36:46.87\01:36:48.20
Look at this far as
you can say to the back
01:36:48.24\01:36:50.34
night after night after night,
15,000 people out there...
01:36:50.37\01:36:54.74
There's Bob Paulson.
Now Bob's not a preacher.
01:36:54.78\01:36:57.75
He's a layman,
01:36:57.78\01:36:59.11
and he actually
does write on stuff,
01:36:59.15\01:37:01.45
Kenny put up
awnings and all there is.
01:37:01.48\01:37:03.12
There's Dr. Thompson there
01:37:03.15\01:37:05.12
and he preached and Mark Finely,
01:37:05.15\01:37:07.16
he took some of Mark's notes
and it shows layman can do.
01:37:07.19\01:37:09.36
Look at this.
01:37:09.39\01:37:10.73
It was amazing night after night
01:37:10.76\01:37:12.29
and these people demanded
that you pray with them.
01:37:12.33\01:37:15.16
They would literally
rush you up soon as...
01:37:15.20\01:37:17.23
There's big David
ever and me together.
01:37:17.27\01:37:19.43
He was over there
and when I say big,
01:37:19.47\01:37:21.97
I mean big, he's a big boy.
01:37:22.00\01:37:23.91
He's good to have
with me in India there
01:37:23.94\01:37:26.07
and watch the folk
cares Garwin McNeilus
01:37:26.11\01:37:29.04
all of as soon as
the meetings was over
01:37:29.08\01:37:30.81
the people would
rush you and demand
01:37:30.85\01:37:33.05
that you pray for them,
01:37:33.08\01:37:34.72
and what a blessing
that is people wanting
01:37:34.75\01:37:37.22
you to pray for them
literally coming to you.
01:37:37.25\01:37:39.79
I would be praying for somebody
01:37:39.82\01:37:41.16
and then I feel
my hand move away
01:37:41.19\01:37:42.96
and somebody to have it on
them and the other grabbing
01:37:42.99\01:37:45.66
and they were in
their own language
01:37:45.69\01:37:47.13
translator said,
that he's praying for me
01:37:47.16\01:37:49.10
leave him alone and
he said, no it's my turn.
01:37:49.13\01:37:52.13
And so they do all of us
that way, they wanted prayer
01:37:52.17\01:37:55.90
and they were
introduced to Jesus
01:37:55.94\01:37:57.37
for the first time,
and literally thousands,
01:37:57.41\01:37:59.97
thousands of people
and people like the Farleys
01:38:00.01\01:38:02.51
who is on our board and
Merlin Farley back then.
01:38:02.54\01:38:05.51
Bruce who is now a chairman
of our board, their family,
01:38:05.55\01:38:08.58
they saw this video
and said we want to support
01:38:08.62\01:38:11.95
and because of this family alone
01:38:11.99\01:38:13.92
and their efforts raising funds
01:38:13.96\01:38:15.86
and building churches
working with Maranatha
01:38:15.89\01:38:18.26
who does an incredible work.
01:38:18.29\01:38:20.70
It's amazing they
havebeen several hundred,
01:38:20.73\01:38:23.50
hundred thousand
people I didn't mix that up
01:38:23.53\01:38:26.84
these reports I've
got all the way from
01:38:26.87\01:38:29.50
as far as a General Conference,
01:38:29.54\01:38:31.01
several hundred thousand people
in India have been baptized
01:38:31.04\01:38:35.48
because of the
efforts of these folk,
01:38:35.51\01:38:37.88
and so little is
much when God is in it.
01:38:37.91\01:38:40.92
And when we
showed this on the air,
01:38:40.95\01:38:43.45
I had some
people call me Mollie,
01:38:43.49\01:38:45.02
they were missionaries to India.
01:38:45.05\01:38:46.79
They said what's going on.
01:38:46.82\01:38:48.32
What is happening and I
said, "What do you mean?
01:38:48.36\01:38:50.23
They said, "We were missionaries
01:38:50.26\01:38:52.03
in India 19 years,
01:38:52.06\01:38:54.66
19 years, and we
only had 23 baptisms,
01:38:54.70\01:39:00.04
and you guys are going
over there and 40 and 50
01:39:00.07\01:39:03.94
that we couldn't get
anybody come to our churches.
01:39:03.97\01:39:05.97
What are you doing?
01:39:06.01\01:39:07.34
And I said it's
the times we're living,
01:39:07.38\01:39:08.71
it's the Holy Spirit
and the Lord is anxious
01:39:08.74\01:39:12.11
for his people to come home,
01:39:12.15\01:39:13.85
so heaven is not heaven
until God's children are there,
01:39:13.88\01:39:16.69
so literally what a
blessing it's been to be
01:39:16.72\01:39:19.39
a part of a
ministry that's impacting
01:39:19.42\01:39:21.26
so many parts of
the world and it's just,
01:39:21.29\01:39:23.96
just as we look back,
it's to thank you Lord.
01:39:23.99\01:39:27.73
Yeah, we're going to look at
some other parts of the world
01:39:27.76\01:39:30.17
but you know there are people
right here in the United States
01:39:30.20\01:39:35.37
and in North America
01:39:35.40\01:39:37.64
that need to be
ministered to as well
01:39:37.67\01:39:39.94
and we have a program
called Christmas Behind Bars,
01:39:39.97\01:39:43.21
actually it's
Lemuel Vega's ministry.
01:39:43.24\01:39:46.75
But where he's
allowed us to be a part of it,
01:39:46.78\01:39:49.25
and we want to show
you some of the impact
01:39:49.28\01:39:52.32
that we are having
in our prison system.
01:39:52.35\01:39:57.79
We are really excited
to be here at 3ABN today
01:39:57.83\01:40:00.33
and be part of their celebration
01:40:00.36\01:40:02.03
for their 32 Anniversary.
01:40:02.06\01:40:04.57
And my name is
Lemuel Vega and...
01:40:04.60\01:40:06.33
My name is Donna Vega.
01:40:06.37\01:40:07.80
And we're part of
Christmas Behind Bars.
01:40:07.84\01:40:10.84
Christmas Behind Bars,
that's an outreach ministry
01:40:10.87\01:40:12.81
that started
probably 20 years ago,
01:40:12.84\01:40:14.84
with one county jail.
01:40:14.88\01:40:16.81
It's a
celebration of not only us,
01:40:16.85\01:40:18.98
the excitement
that we have to be
01:40:19.01\01:40:20.42
part of this ministry
01:40:20.45\01:40:21.78
but the inmates
that are in their cells
01:40:21.82\01:40:23.32
today watching this program,
01:40:23.35\01:40:24.79
they celebrate with 3ABN
01:40:24.82\01:40:26.69
because they have
been an active part of 3ABN
01:40:26.72\01:40:29.29
through your sponsorship
there's a program now called?
01:40:29.32\01:40:31.83
Free Indeed.
01:40:31.86\01:40:33.19
Free Indeed, and can you tell us
01:40:33.23\01:40:34.56
a little bit of
what Free Indeed is
01:40:34.60\01:40:35.93
for our viewers that don't know?
01:40:35.96\01:40:37.30
Well, 3ABN goes in
01:40:37.33\01:40:39.30
and the inmates get
to encourage the people
01:40:39.33\01:40:42.80
on the outside...
01:40:42.84\01:40:44.17
Around the world.
Amen. To serve Jesus.
01:40:44.21\01:40:46.24
'Cause the inmates
can reach other people
01:40:46.27\01:40:47.74
that are
downtrodden in the world,
01:40:47.78\01:40:49.24
so again we are excited
01:40:49.28\01:40:50.95
to celebrate the 32nd
Anniversary with 3ABN.
01:40:50.98\01:40:54.22
We've actually been
married for 32 years.
01:40:54.25\01:40:56.89
We don't have any
children biologically
01:40:56.92\01:40:58.79
but yet we have?
01:40:58.82\01:41:00.16
Many.
01:41:00.19\01:41:01.52
Thousands of children
and they're all behind bars.
01:41:01.56\01:41:03.12
We've adopted them
through the 3ABN family.
01:41:03.16\01:41:05.89
You know through the ministry
of Christmas Behind Bars,
01:41:05.93\01:41:08.23
the prison ministry
01:41:08.26\01:41:09.70
that has been
started many years ago,
01:41:09.73\01:41:11.60
ordained by God,
01:41:11.63\01:41:13.07
3ABN's prison ministry has
had the opportunity to go in
01:41:13.10\01:41:16.54
and share and preach and teach.
01:41:16.57\01:41:18.47
Who are some of the people
01:41:18.51\01:41:19.84
that's come from 3ABN
to the prisons with us?
01:41:19.87\01:41:22.14
Shelley Quinn,
CA, Brian Hamilton.
01:41:22.18\01:41:25.91
There's J.D Quinn, yeah J.D
01:41:25.95\01:41:27.82
and there's just
been a lot, C.A. Murray,
01:41:27.85\01:41:29.45
Pastor C.A. Murray
and so it give not only
01:41:29.48\01:41:32.05
the speakers and
presenters and singers
01:41:32.09\01:41:34.82
Yvonne Lewis phenomenal at
the women's prison last year
01:41:34.86\01:41:38.19
not only the speakers
and presenters of 3ABN
01:41:38.23\01:41:41.00
but the camera crew,
the crew behind the scenes,
01:41:41.03\01:41:44.77
they have come in and they've
formed lasting relationship
01:41:44.80\01:41:47.34
with those people
that are incarcerated.
01:41:47.37\01:41:49.17
They have laughed,
they work together,
01:41:49.20\01:41:50.67
set up cameras.
01:41:50.71\01:41:52.04
They've showed them
how to run the audio
01:41:52.07\01:41:53.58
and just lots of
different things.
01:41:53.61\01:41:54.94
So that's been phenomenal.
01:41:54.98\01:41:56.31
And it's amazing what
God is doing here at 3ABN
01:41:56.34\01:41:58.95
for these last 32 years,
01:41:58.98\01:42:00.72
and we just know God has
great mighty plans in store
01:42:00.75\01:42:04.19
for 3ABN and for
your life as well.
01:42:04.22\01:42:07.69
We encourage you to
be actively involved
01:42:07.72\01:42:10.39
in the ministry
Christmas Behind Bars,
01:42:10.43\01:42:12.53
Free Indeed, 3ABN.
01:42:12.56\01:42:14.90
And I know by God's grace,
01:42:14.93\01:42:16.46
you will see many
people in the kingdom of heaven
01:42:16.50\01:42:18.83
because your prayers,
you stay focused on Christ,
01:42:18.87\01:42:21.84
and you are willing to sponsor.
01:42:21.87\01:42:23.64
This ministry here at 3ABN,
01:42:23.67\01:42:25.57
we are so grateful to
be a part of this ministry.
01:42:25.61\01:42:28.21
It's been a joy to work with
every aspect of the ministry.
01:42:28.24\01:42:31.25
The ground's crew
01:42:31.28\01:42:32.61
that takes care of
the grounds here at 3ABN,
01:42:32.65\01:42:34.65
the people that clean
the homes here at 3ABN
01:42:34.68\01:42:37.29
in the offices, the cameramen
01:42:37.32\01:42:39.55
and the crew
that go on the road.
01:42:39.59\01:42:41.09
It's just amazing the
mechanics here at 3ABN,
01:42:41.12\01:42:44.03
God is doing great things,
01:42:44.06\01:42:45.63
and we're thankful to
be part of this 3ABN family
01:42:45.66\01:42:48.56
for the 32nd Anniversary,
01:42:48.60\01:42:50.50
and we're thankful
that you're a part of 3ABN
01:42:50.53\01:42:52.97
through our viewing audience.
01:42:53.00\01:42:54.40
God bless you and we love you,
01:42:54.44\01:42:56.54
and we're looking
forward to another year
01:42:56.57\01:42:58.67
with Jesus and 3ABN.
01:42:58.71\01:43:02.11
Now we have been so blessed
01:43:02.14\01:43:03.65
to get to know
Donna and Lemuel Vega.
01:43:03.68\01:43:06.08
They have such a
passion for prison ministry
01:43:06.11\01:43:09.58
and they have imparted that
01:43:09.62\01:43:11.72
into our very own
Brian and Diane Hamilton.
01:43:11.75\01:43:13.66
That's right.
01:43:13.69\01:43:15.02
What an incredible job,
thank you Brian and Diane
01:43:15.06\01:43:17.36
for what you're
doing to ministries
01:43:17.39\01:43:19.16
not only prisons
throughout Southern Illinois
01:43:19.19\01:43:22.16
but you all are
traveling now quite a bit too
01:43:22.20\01:43:24.40
and seen a tremendous,
01:43:24.43\01:43:25.77
isn't that amazing
what you're seeing.
01:43:25.80\01:43:28.00
A little bit later we may
have some time to talk about it
01:43:28.04\01:43:30.34
but it's what they're
doing is an incredible job and,
01:43:30.37\01:43:33.04
and people who love Jesus.
01:43:33.07\01:43:35.24
I mean it, it to us again go...
01:43:35.28\01:43:39.68
James says we should be reaching
01:43:39.71\01:43:41.75
the people true religion
unto before God is basically,
01:43:41.78\01:43:45.59
it's saying helping
those who can't help themselves
01:43:45.62\01:43:48.16
or maybe don't
have the opportunities,
01:43:48.19\01:43:50.26
whether that's motherless,
01:43:50.29\01:43:51.63
the widows, maybe
souls behind bars.
01:43:51.66\01:43:53.83
Those folks that
maybe never had any kind of
01:43:53.86\01:43:56.53
Christian training whatsoever,
3ABN comes in through Lemuel,
01:43:56.56\01:44:01.04
through Brain and Diane
and we see lives changed.
01:44:01.07\01:44:04.34
Literally hundreds
and thousands of people
01:44:04.37\01:44:07.34
will end up in heaven
because of you guys' efforts.
01:44:07.38\01:44:10.35
Thank you so much
for what you're doing.
01:44:10.38\01:44:13.15
We do praise God
for all the souls
01:44:13.18\01:44:16.48
that are touched
in those prisons.
01:44:16.52\01:44:18.12
Thank you Lord for that.
01:44:18.15\01:44:19.72
You know, Bill Knott
is a good friend of 3ABN
01:44:19.75\01:44:24.39
and he has sent us
his congratulations
01:44:24.43\01:44:26.73
as well, Danny.
01:44:26.76\01:44:29.06
And so I have a
collection of Bibles
01:44:29.10\01:44:30.77
that have become
meaningful to me over the years.
01:44:30.80\01:44:33.60
Some of them have
been on the shelf read
01:44:33.64\01:44:36.04
and not read at various times
01:44:36.07\01:44:38.11
as I moved to
different versions.
01:44:38.14\01:44:39.51
One of my favorites now
01:44:39.54\01:44:41.11
is one that's been
in the review office
01:44:41.14\01:44:42.98
for more than 60 years.
01:44:43.01\01:44:44.51
In the front of it you'll find
the handwriting of FT Nickel,
01:44:44.55\01:44:47.75
Kenneth Wood.
01:44:47.78\01:44:49.12
Dr. Bill Johnson
and myself for 60 years
01:44:49.15\01:44:52.69
we've been using that
same Bible for staff worships,
01:44:52.72\01:44:56.39
for our personal devotions.
01:44:56.42\01:44:58.19
I love those things that
have an impact over time.
01:44:58.23\01:45:01.73
Jesus actually tells a
story about impact over time
01:45:01.76\01:45:05.83
even when we're not
paying particular attention.
01:45:05.87\01:45:08.47
Mark Chapter 4,
Jesus tells a parable,
01:45:08.50\01:45:11.44
"The Kingdom of God as if
a man should scatters seed
01:45:11.47\01:45:14.31
upon the ground and should
sleep and rise night and day
01:45:14.34\01:45:17.78
and the seed should sprout
and grow he knows not how,
01:45:17.81\01:45:20.45
the earth produces of itself.
01:45:20.48\01:45:22.28
First the blade, then the ear,
01:45:22.32\01:45:23.65
then the full grain in the year,
01:45:23.69\01:45:25.25
but when the
grain is ripe at once
01:45:25.29\01:45:27.22
he puts in the sickle
because the harvest has come."
01:45:27.26\01:45:30.53
Jesus reminds us
that those things
01:45:30.56\01:45:33.43
that sometimes feel like
01:45:33.46\01:45:35.06
the background in our lives
are actually the most powerful.
01:45:35.10\01:45:39.07
3ABN has had that kind
of role for 32 years now
01:45:39.10\01:45:43.57
in the lives of both
Adventists and Christians
01:45:43.61\01:45:46.44
around the globe
including in my family.
01:45:46.47\01:45:49.78
I watched as my own
parents found the attraction of
01:45:49.81\01:45:54.12
a faith building
television station
01:45:54.15\01:45:57.12
that continued to help them grow
01:45:57.15\01:45:59.89
well into their older years.
01:45:59.92\01:46:01.59
I've watched the impact
3ABN has had in communities
01:46:01.62\01:46:04.96
where I pastored where
when we did evangelism,
01:46:04.99\01:46:07.96
suddenly there
were so many more people
01:46:08.00\01:46:09.56
ready to make a
decision for Jesus
01:46:09.60\01:46:11.83
because they had
had the impact of 3ABN
01:46:11.87\01:46:15.07
in the middle of the
night at the odd hours.
01:46:15.10\01:46:18.14
That impact is what I
think we need to celebrate,
01:46:18.17\01:46:20.48
how God uses the
persistence of this ministry
01:46:20.51\01:46:23.85
to bring people to his truth.
01:46:23.88\01:46:25.71
I want to congratulate
01:46:25.75\01:46:27.42
the leaders all involved in 3ABN
01:46:27.45\01:46:30.45
for 32 years of powerful witness
01:46:30.49\01:46:33.49
even when we
weren't always conscious
01:46:33.52\01:46:36.22
of what was happening.
01:46:36.26\01:46:37.59
God was at work.
01:46:37.63\01:46:38.96
Thank you for what you're
doing to advance the kingdom.
01:46:38.99\01:46:42.56
We always
appreciate hearing from Bill.
01:46:42.60\01:46:44.80
He is such a good
friend to this ministry,
01:46:44.83\01:46:46.63
and thank you so
much for your kind words,
01:46:46.67\01:46:49.40
I appreciate.
01:46:49.44\01:46:50.77
Absolutely.
01:46:50.81\01:46:52.14
I think we ought to
go to the Philippines,
01:46:52.17\01:46:53.78
we're getting, I can't believe
we're getting close to the end.
01:46:53.81\01:46:56.54
It's almost two
hours. Wow, where did it go.
01:46:56.58\01:46:59.61
We got a lot more to
cover, I mean a lot more
01:46:59.65\01:47:01.78
and you're going
to hear a lot more
01:47:01.82\01:47:03.15
from our folk here too,
01:47:03.18\01:47:04.65
but what we'd
like to do in 2004,
01:47:04.69\01:47:07.46
we had the blessing of
Manila, the Philippines,
01:47:07.49\01:47:11.33
the president coming to 3ABN
01:47:11.36\01:47:14.03
inauguration of 3ABN Philippines
01:47:14.06\01:47:16.67
and we'd like to
show that right now.
01:47:16.70\01:47:18.67
This is just a shot of
01:47:18.70\01:47:20.80
the 24 million
plus people the city,
01:47:20.84\01:47:24.04
some second
largest city in the world
01:47:24.07\01:47:27.28
and here were
you'll see shots coming in.
01:47:27.31\01:47:30.95
There's a big welcome.
01:47:30.98\01:47:32.31
And that night we
actually had thousands of people
01:47:32.35\01:47:35.45
to Filipino Convention Center.
01:47:35.48\01:47:38.15
And I think Moses should
be really talking about this,
01:47:38.19\01:47:40.99
this is building the
television station there
01:47:41.02\01:47:44.29
that Moses
oversaw and to get it done
01:47:44.33\01:47:47.66
so that it literally
would reach up on a hill.
01:47:47.70\01:47:50.23
We had a good
property, there was a tower,
01:47:50.27\01:47:52.10
build a building,
01:47:52.13\01:47:53.47
put the
transmitters everything in
01:47:53.50\01:47:55.17
and then we were able to get
01:47:55.20\01:47:56.74
the president of the Philippines
01:47:56.77\01:47:58.74
to come at the
convention center.
01:47:58.77\01:48:00.88
And should be on
here in just a moment
01:48:00.91\01:48:03.24
but what a
incredible amount of people
01:48:03.28\01:48:05.68
and what an
opportunity to reach millions
01:48:05.71\01:48:09.18
and millions of people 24/7
01:48:09.22\01:48:11.22
they were in the palace
with the president there
01:48:11.25\01:48:15.02
and Ambassador Bien Tejano.
01:48:15.06\01:48:17.89
We're honored
and happy to announce
01:48:17.93\01:48:20.46
to the arrival
of her Excellency,
01:48:20.50\01:48:25.10
the President of the
Republic of the Philippines.
01:48:25.13\01:48:29.20
Please welcome your Excellency
President of the Philippines
01:48:55.76\01:49:02.40
Gloria Macapagal Arroyo.
01:49:02.44\01:49:06.88
I mentioned to madam
president on the way in
01:49:06.91\01:49:10.08
that I would like to
apply for dual citizenship.
01:49:10.11\01:49:13.42
Though I'm an American,
01:49:13.45\01:49:15.08
I would love to have
a Filipino citizenship
01:49:15.12\01:49:18.62
so I can vote for her
in the upcoming election.
01:49:18.65\01:49:21.16
I am very pleased
to be able to join you
01:49:24.79\01:49:27.86
this wonderful evening
01:49:27.90\01:49:30.87
for the inauguration of
the 3ABN in the Philippines.
01:49:30.90\01:49:36.54
This is the beginning
01:49:40.54\01:49:43.21
of what will be surely
yet another of your valuable
01:49:43.24\01:49:49.75
and significant contributions
to Philippine culture.
01:49:49.78\01:49:53.99
The last but not the least
01:49:55.99\01:49:58.53
to receive the flag
is Mr. Danny Shelton.
01:49:58.56\01:50:03.23
Thank you very
much madam president.
01:50:24.12\01:50:26.25
We had it, isn't that amazing.
01:50:46.17\01:50:47.94
We had a very interesting...
01:50:47.98\01:50:49.88
It was actually
funny later experience
01:50:49.91\01:50:52.41
she asked
ambassador Tejano and me
01:50:52.45\01:50:54.85
to accompany her
instead of coming to the back
01:50:54.88\01:50:58.25
through with security wanted her
01:50:58.29\01:51:00.06
she decided that
we all would come from
01:51:00.09\01:51:02.82
the front of opening the gym.
01:51:02.86\01:51:04.39
They weren't
prepared for security
01:51:04.43\01:51:06.19
and walked down among the people
01:51:06.23\01:51:08.66
and so and there's thousands
probably 9 or 10,000 people
01:51:08.70\01:51:12.60
inside several
thousand people outside.
01:51:12.63\01:51:15.27
So we're walking right.
01:51:15.30\01:51:17.27
And I'm staying close to her.
01:51:17.31\01:51:19.14
Well, I notice somebody
01:51:19.17\01:51:20.51
coming over to the
side getting too close
01:51:20.54\01:51:23.81
for some reason I began to think
01:51:23.85\01:51:25.18
I'm the security guard, right.
01:51:25.21\01:51:26.88
So I make sure I
don't let him get close.
01:51:26.92\01:51:29.25
I don't know who he is,
I say this is dangerous.
01:51:29.28\01:51:31.72
They didn't
really want to do it.
01:51:31.75\01:51:33.15
There's no security.
01:51:33.19\01:51:34.52
So he gently is pushing
me to the side sorry Mollie
01:51:34.56\01:51:39.29
and I'm gently
pushing him out of the way
01:51:39.33\01:51:42.76
and we're not looking
at each other very much.
01:51:42.80\01:51:45.20
But he's determined to
get next to her and I said no,
01:51:45.23\01:51:48.50
I'm not going to let, I
don't know who this guy is
01:51:48.54\01:51:50.44
I'm pushing him.
01:51:50.47\01:51:51.87
And finally I look at him
01:51:51.91\01:51:53.24
and I think this
thing in his ear.
01:51:53.27\01:51:55.81
He's her security
01:51:55.84\01:51:57.35
and I'm moving
him out of the way
01:51:57.38\01:51:59.05
he was, and I'm
trying to and he's gently
01:51:59.08\01:52:03.02
because I'm a guest
but he wants to be up there
01:52:03.05\01:52:06.02
by her to take
the bullet if need be
01:52:06.05\01:52:08.49
and I thought I'd say,
01:52:08.52\01:52:09.86
okay I've learned
my lesson from now
01:52:09.89\01:52:11.23
and I won't do that.
01:52:11.26\01:52:12.59
Somebody, we just
have three or four minutes
01:52:12.63\01:52:14.13
who's got a
microphone Yvonne you got one
01:52:14.16\01:52:15.66
what do you thinking so far.
01:52:15.70\01:52:17.07
What's going through your mind?
01:52:17.10\01:52:18.43
You know as I was
watching this whole thing,
01:52:18.47\01:52:22.24
it is just so obvious
that God has had his hand
01:52:22.27\01:52:25.61
on this ministry
from the inception of it,
01:52:25.64\01:52:29.24
when he gave you that idea,
01:52:29.28\01:52:30.78
Danny to, to now,
01:52:30.81\01:52:32.71
I mean God is just
leading and guiding
01:52:32.75\01:52:35.82
and so many souls have been won
as a result of this ministry.
01:52:35.85\01:52:40.12
Praise God, I can't wait
to meet the souls in heaven
01:52:40.16\01:52:43.16
that have been won
through this ministry.
01:52:43.19\01:52:45.13
Brother John, what's
going through your mind?
01:52:45.16\01:52:48.06
You know, you can see
that this is not a coincidence
01:52:48.10\01:52:50.07
nor is it a dream that
was born in the mind of a man
01:52:50.10\01:52:53.37
but a vision born
in the mind of God
01:52:53.40\01:52:55.27
and you look for
somebody who is willing.
01:52:55.30\01:52:57.67
And Danny, if I
could use one word
01:52:57.71\01:52:59.17
to describe what God has done
in your life you're willing.
01:52:59.21\01:53:02.21
You know the Bible says,
"If there's first a willing mind
01:53:02.24\01:53:05.11
`a man is accepted
according to what he has."
01:53:05.15\01:53:07.68
And I praise the Lord that
what he's done in your life.
01:53:07.72\01:53:10.09
Keep that willing
heart because as Mollie said,
01:53:10.12\01:53:13.05
we haven't seen anything yet.
01:53:13.09\01:53:14.46
Praise God for that.
01:53:14.49\01:53:15.99
Brother Kenny, what's
going through your mind?
01:53:16.02\01:53:17.89
The excitement here.
01:53:17.93\01:53:20.03
I've had the
spiritual goosebumps.
01:53:20.06\01:53:22.10
It's been jumping over
my neck and my body to see
01:53:22.13\01:53:24.53
what God has been
doing all of these years
01:53:24.57\01:53:27.17
and then it just keeps coming
01:53:27.20\01:53:28.57
over and over in my
mind is God's not done.
01:53:28.60\01:53:31.47
There's more to come
and it's going to be better.
01:53:31.51\01:53:34.14
There's going to
be some blessings,
01:53:34.18\01:53:35.51
it's just going to
astound the people,
01:53:35.54\01:53:37.48
we need to hang in there.
01:53:37.51\01:53:38.85
We need to get tight
for Jesus many more souls
01:53:38.88\01:53:42.05
going to be won to
the kingdom through 3ABN.
01:53:42.08\01:53:44.12
And Pastor C.A.
Murray and Tammy?
01:53:44.15\01:53:47.52
I think it is more
than anything humbling
01:53:47.56\01:53:50.36
to know that you can be
01:53:50.39\01:53:51.73
even a small
part of a move of God.
01:53:51.76\01:53:54.40
In the world God chose
01:53:54.43\01:53:56.73
to put this
place here at this time
01:53:56.77\01:54:01.34
and then to call this
wonderful group of people.
01:54:01.37\01:54:03.81
It is humbling to know
that God chose to use us
01:54:03.84\01:54:06.98
to work with him
in the greatest gift
01:54:07.01\01:54:09.01
ever given to mankind
01:54:09.04\01:54:10.55
and that's the gift of salvation
01:54:10.58\01:54:12.08
and we are a part of that.
01:54:12.11\01:54:13.45
Amen.
01:54:13.48\01:54:14.92
Tammy?
01:54:14.95\01:54:16.72
I just kind of wanted
to mention because it,
01:54:16.75\01:54:18.45
it's a part of history.
01:54:18.49\01:54:20.06
It's a part of the 3ABN history
01:54:20.09\01:54:21.62
and part of the
history of the church.
01:54:21.66\01:54:23.22
I think and correct me,
01:54:23.26\01:54:24.59
if I'm wrong that
Kenny was the first
01:54:24.63\01:54:26.66
to ever do a revelation seminar.
01:54:26.70\01:54:29.16
Yeah, on 3ABN he was absolutely.
01:54:29.20\01:54:32.03
First one in the church
01:54:32.07\01:54:33.40
I think to do a
revelation similar on the air.
01:54:33.44\01:54:35.20
Yeah, on the air absolutely...
01:54:35.24\01:54:36.77
that's there's a
lot of first there,
01:54:36.81\01:54:39.67
lot of the pioneering is
not always that easy though.
01:54:39.71\01:54:42.41
And but the Lord
opens up those doors.
01:54:42.44\01:54:44.45
See the blessing is on the go.
01:54:44.48\01:54:46.41
We've said that over
and over and over again.
01:54:46.45\01:54:48.88
Melody, I don't
think I'll give you mike
01:54:48.92\01:54:51.09
unless she want one
01:54:51.12\01:54:52.45
'cause she would rather sit back
01:54:52.49\01:54:54.06
and she'll sing to the world
01:54:54.09\01:54:55.42
we should have her sing
that's what we should do
01:54:55.46\01:54:57.36
should have ET
over here playing maybe,
01:54:57.39\01:54:59.86
maybe the next program.
01:54:59.89\01:55:01.66
We decided let's
don't get in a hurry.
01:55:01.70\01:55:03.80
We're celebrating 32 years
01:55:03.83\01:55:05.77
and Lord willing
in for all still here
01:55:05.80\01:55:07.64
and maybe on 35th so
it would be three years
01:55:07.67\01:55:10.31
or so more before
we have another one.
01:55:10.34\01:55:12.41
And so why don't we get together
01:55:12.44\01:55:14.44
and just show what God has
done in spite of all of us,
01:55:14.48\01:55:19.21
but thank you for
all of you for your part.
01:55:19.25\01:55:21.32
Moses Primo we've got
30 seconds or something.
01:55:21.35\01:55:23.95
What's going on in
your mind right now?
01:55:23.99\01:55:25.35
And first of all thank you,
01:55:25.39\01:55:26.72
because of you we're
going around the world
01:55:26.76\01:55:28.42
that your brain
power that's got us there
01:55:28.46\01:55:30.63
and your
willingness to be used of God.
01:55:30.66\01:55:32.96
Well, it's
amazing like pastor said
01:55:32.99\01:55:35.60
before when we put ourselves
01:55:35.63\01:55:38.30
and make
available what God can do
01:55:38.33\01:55:40.40
it's just amazing.
01:55:40.44\01:55:41.77
It's a privilege to be here.
01:55:41.80\01:55:43.14
It's a blessing to be here
01:55:43.17\01:55:44.87
and to be part
of this end message
01:55:44.91\01:55:47.04
of reaching souls
for God's kingdom.
01:55:47.08\01:55:49.71
Amen.
01:55:49.74\01:55:51.31
Okay, for those of you to home.
01:55:51.35\01:55:53.62
We're going to have to
end this program this evening.
01:55:53.65\01:55:56.12
We've got maybe two
more hours of miracles
01:55:56.15\01:55:59.49
that God has performed
and continues to perform,
01:55:59.52\01:56:02.66
so we'll continue
this tomorrow evening.
01:56:02.69\01:56:04.86
Stay with us,
we'll be back in a moment
01:56:16.40\01:56:19.67
with more of 3ABN
32nd anniversary special.
01:56:19.71\01:56:23.04
