00:04 >> COMING TO YOU FROM 3ABN'S WORSHIP CENTER FOR GOD'S GLORY,
00:11 3ABN'S 32ND ANNIVERSARY SPECIAL. >> WE WANT TO WELCOME EVERY ONE
00:20 OF YOU TO THIS 32ND ANNIVERSARY CELEBRATION.
00:24 >> THAT SEEMS IMPOSSIBLE, DOESN'T IT?
00:26 >> I KNOW. AND WE HAVE GOT SOE OF THE MOST
00:30 INCREDIBLE FOOTAGE TO SHOW YOU. WE'RE GOING TO START OUT WITH
00:34 PICTURES. I KNOW WE'RE NOT GOING TO DO
00:37 THAT RIGHT THIS MINUTE. >> YEAH.
00:39 >> BUT I WANT YOU KNOW THAT WE ARE GOING TO -- IT'S A VERY
00:43 HUMBLING EXPERIENCE FOR DANNY SHELTON.
00:46 [ LAUGHTER ] >> DANNY SOMETHING THAT I
00:49 NOTICED, YOU WERE THE CUTEST LITTLE THING WHEN YOU WERE
00:52 YOUNG. >> I HEARD THAT BEFORE.
00:53 WHAT HAPPENED? YOU WERE CUTE WHEN YOU WERE
00:56 LITTLE. WHAT HAPPENED?
00:57 I'M USED TO THAT. >> 32 YEARS, DANNY, CAN YOU
01:03 BELIEVE THAT? >> NO, WE GIVE GOD THE CREDIT.
01:07 MY BROTHER IS HERE AND MY SISTER IS HERE, WHICH WE'LL BE TALKING
01:11 TO LATER ON, IT WAS FAMILY, AND WE HAD NO IDEA WHERE IT WAS
01:16 GOING, AND WHAT WE WOULD DO, WE JUST KNEW THAT GOD SAID BUILD A
01:25 TELEVISION STATION TO REACH THE WORLD.
01:27 AND IT NEVER OCCURRED TO ME ABOUT FAILURE.
01:31 I NEVER EVER THOUGHT IT WOULDN'T WORK.
01:33 WE JUST WENT FORWARD AND TOOK IT ONE DAY AT A TIME.
01:39 AND 32 YEARS LATER, BY GOD'S GRACE WE ARE STILL HER.
01:44 THAT'S NOT SO AS IMPORTANT AS THE THREE ANGELS MESSAGES BE
01:52 GOING OUT. BUT THE IMPORTANT THING IS 3ABN
01:57 IS STILL GIVING THE MESSAGE TO THE WORLD.
02:00 THAT'S REALLY WHAT IS IMPORTANT, BECAUSE SLEEP IS JUS FOR A
02:03 BRIEF MOMENT, RIGHT? SO RIGHT WE'RE HAPPY THAT WE'RE
02:08 ALIVE AND EVERYBODY HERE IS. WHY DON'T YOU QUICKLY INTRODUCE
02:12 EVERYBODY. THIS IS A LOT OF OUR LEADERSHIP
02:15 TEAM AND CAN YOU INTRODUCE THEM? >> I'M GOING TO START AT THE
02:21 BOTTOM ROW WITH DIANE AND BRIAN HAMILTON.
02:24 AND NEXT WE HAVE MOSES PRIMO. AND KENNY AND CHRIS SHELTON, AND
02:35 YVONNE I'M HOPING I WON'T HAVE BRAIN FREEZE.
02:41 YVONNE LEWIS AND OUR SON JASON BRADLEY.-AND THEN WE HAVE BRUCE AND TAMMY
02:51 CHANCE. MELODY AND RAG FIRESTONE AND ET
02:59 EVERETT WE APPRECIATE YOU SO MUCH.
03:01 AND BEHIND HER IS JAY CHRISTIAN, THE GENERAL MANAGER OF 3ABN
03:06 RADIO, AND BESIDE HIM IS HIS LOVELY BRIDE ALL THE WAY FROM
03:11 3ABN RUSSIA. AND GREG THOMPSON, GREG, IT IS
03:15 SO GOOD TO HAVE YOU WITH US TODAY.
03:18 JOHN DINZEY. NEXT TO HIM IS DEE HILDERBRAND.
03:24 SHELLEY QUINN AND J.D. QUINN, AND OUR VERY OWN JILL AND GREG
03:30 MORIKONE. AND THIS IS DANNY SHELTON IN
03:32 CASE YOU DON'T KNOW HIM. >> AND THIS IS MOLLIE STEENSON.
03:35 AND IN THE CONTROL ROM IN JUST A LITTLE BIT WE HAVE SOME OTHER
03:38 FOLK THAT -- THEY DIDN'T -- THEY LIKE BEING BEHIND THE CAMERA,
03:42 BETTER THAN IN FRONT, BUT WE DECIDED TO SHOW THEM ANYWAY.
03:46 I'M GOING TO MAKE SURE THIS IS NOT JUST A HUMBLING EXPERIENCE
03:49 FOR ME. SO SOME OF YOU ALL MAY BE
03:54 HUBBLED TOO BY WHAT YOU SEE A LITTLE BIT LATER ON.
03:56 BUT WE'RE ALL HUMBLED WHEN WE COME BEFORE GOD.
04:00 THIS IS GOING TO BE A LOG PROGRAM.
04:02 WE HAVE A TREMENDOUS AMOUNT OF FOOTAGE AND ROLLS, AND WE
04:07 LITERALLY WANT TO GO OVER THE IMPACT OF 3ABN.
04:10 NOT INDIVIDUALS. GOD USES US IN SPITE OF US, BUT
04:15 WE LITERALLY HAVE FOLK WHO HAVE SENT GREAT MESSAGES, SOME
04:19 30-SECOND -- WHAT WOULD YOU CALL IT CONGRATS?
04:22 >> CONGRATS. >> FOR 32 YEARS OF MINISTRY, AND
04:26 WE'RE GOING TO BE SHOWING THOSE OFF AND ON IN BETWEEN REGULAR
04:31 ROLLS, BUT WE'RE JUST HERE TO SUPPORT THE SEVENTH DAY
04:36 ADVENTIST CHURCH. WE'RE NOT A CHURCH.
04:38 WE'RE A 501 C3 OF TENTH OR SUPPORTING MINISTRY, A
04:44 NON-PROFIT ORGANIZATION, BUT OUR GOAL IS TO WORK TOGETHER.
04:47 WE'RE ALL ONE. OUR GOAL IS TO GET THE THREE
04:53 ANGELS MESSAGES TO THE WORLD SO THAT GOD CAN COME BACK.
04:58 SO HE CAN GO TO ALL OF THE WORLD.-WE'RE TRYING TO DO OUR PART, BUT
05:03 WE COULD DON'T IT WITHOUT YOU. SO FIRST OF ALL WE WANT TO THANK
05:08 YOU TODAY, FIRST OF ALL, YOU JESUS CHRIST, AND THEN YOU 3ABN
05:15 SUPPORTERS. THANK YOU FOR MAKING IT POSSIBLE
05:18 FOR WHAT IS HAPPENING LITERALLY THIS GOSPEL OF THE KINGDOM.
05:23 WE'RE GOING TO GO THROUGH A LITTLE BIT OF HISTORY RIGHT NOW.
05:26 THEN WE WANT TO SHOW YOU WHAT GOD HAS BEEN DOING FOR THE LAST
05:30 30-SOME YEARS AND WHAT HE -- GREAT PLANS FOR THE
05:34 FUTURE. >> YES.
05:35 >> EVANGELISM SO WE WANT TO CENTER IN TODAY ON IF NOTHING
05:40 ELSE, EVANGELISM, EVANGELISM, EVANGELISM.
05:50 OUR TESTIMONY IS THE GREATEST ASSET THAT WE HAVE, AND SO IF WE
05:54 DO NOTHING BUT SHARE WHAT JESUS HAS DONE FOR US, NOBODY CAN
05:59 ARGUE WITH YOU ABOUT THAT, OR CHALLENGE YOU, BECAUSE THEY
06:02 DON'T KNOW. BUT WHEN YOU SHOW -- LIFT UP
06:04 JESUS, HE SAYS IF I BE LIFTED UP FROM THIS EARTH WILL DRAW A FEW
06:10 PEOPLE TO ME. >> AMEN.
06:12 >> THEY ARE AWAKE TODAY. WILL DRAW ALL MEN UNTO ME MOLLIE
06:23 SUE. >> WE HAVE HISTORY AND PHOTOS.
06:25 BUT DANNY, WHEN GET TO THE END OF TODAY'S PROGRAM, WE KNOW THIS
06:29 IS JUST THE BEGINNING. I DON'T THINK -- WE AIN'T SEEN
06:33 NOTHING YET OF WHAT GOD IS GOING TO DO THROUGH THIS MINISTRY.
06:36 >> I LIKE THAT. >> LET'S LOOK AT THE HISTORY OF
06:40 3ABN IN PHOTOS. >> THAT'S MY MOTHER AND FATHER,
06:44 ABOUT 1959. THAT IS OUR LITTLE PLACE.
06:47 THAT'S MY BROTHERS AND -- ALL WRESTLING THERE.
06:51 >> I TOLD YOU HOW CUTE HE WAS. >> AND THERE IS LITTLE TAMMY AT
06:55 THE TIME. AND THAT'S -- OKAY.
06:57 AND I THINK THAT'S THE FIRST BICYCLE I GOT THAT WAS A NEW
07:01 ONE. I ACTUALLY GOT A NEW BICYCLE.
07:04 AND LOOK AT THAT SHIRT, MY MOTHER MADE THAT OUT OF WOMEN'S
07:08 DRESS -- SHE WORKED AT A DRESS FACTORY.
07:11 I THINK I WAS LIKE A SOPHOMORE OR SOMETHING IN HIGH SCHOOL.
07:14 AND THAT'S KAY, MELODY'S MOTHER. MELODY ON THE RIGHT.
07:21 AND MELODY YOU LOOK QUITE A BIT LIKE YOUR MOTHER TOO, DON'T YOU?
07:28 PRETTY. AND THE SHELTON TRIO.
07:30 THAT'S MELODY WHEN SHE IS ABOUT A YEAR OLD.
07:32 IS THAT CUTE OR WHAT? [ LAUGHTER ]
07:35 >> THAT IS SO CUTE. AND MELODY AND RONDA, AND LISA.
07:38 I THINK YOU WERE ABOUT THREE. YOU AND BABY FAITH LOOK A LOT
07:44 ALIKE, MELODY. AND THERE IS MELODY AND HER
07:48 MOTHER. AND I DON'T KNOW WHO THAT IS
07:50 WITH THE BEARD. THAT'S LISA AND MELODY AND ME.
07:54 AND THIS IS US WAY BACK IN EARLY '80S, I WOULD SAY, MELODY.
07:58 THIS WAS A COVER OF A DUET WE DID TOGETHER, I THINK WHEN YOU
08:03 WERE 12, AND THIS IS A TV STATION SOMEWHERE -- I'M NOT
08:07 SURE WHERE, AND THIS IS JUST -- I GUESS PICTURES OF US
08:11 SINGING. THIS WAS AFTER YOUR MOTHER WAS
08:15 KILLED IN AN AUTOMOBILE ACCIDENT.
08:17 THIS IS AT A GENERAL CONFERENCE. I THINK THAT'S MELODY AND LISA.
08:24 AND SO I'M NOT SURE WHERE ALL OF THESE PICTURES -- WHERE WE WERE,
08:30 OR WHAT WE WERE DOING, BUT IT SHOWS WE WERE IN MINISTRY
08:35 TOGETHER BEFORE 3ABN. AFTER HER MOTHER WAS KILLED IN
08:38 AN AUTOMOBILE ACCIDENT, MELODY AND I CONTINUED TO SING FOR THE
08:41 LORD, AND THROUGH THAT SINGING, I SAW THE POWER OF CHRISTIAN
08:46 TELEVISION. SO I WONDERED WHY STLNT A
08:52 STATION GIVING THE MESSAGE TO THE WORLD.
08:55 AND THEN I THOUGHT WHY DON'T YOU DO IT.
08:58 SO MY GOD'S GRACE, THAT'S WHAT HAS HAPPENED MOLLIE SUE.
09:03 >> THAT'S RIGHT. GOD IMPRESSED UPON YOUR HEART,
09:06 YOU KNOW, WHEN PEOPLE COME TO WORK HERE -- WHEN I'M
09:09 INTERVIEWING PEOPLE TO WORK HERE AT 3ABN, LIVE THEM A LITTLE
09:13 HISTORY OF 3ABN, AND PART OF THAT IS THAT GOD OUT OF THE
09:18 POWER OF HIS SPIRIT IMPRESSED UPON YOUR HEART TO BUILD A
09:22 TELEVISION NETWORK THAT REACHED THE WHOLE WORLD.
09:24 AND I SAID THE PROOF IS IN THE PUDDING, EITHER IT IS GOD OR IT
09:31 WASN'T, AND THIS IS 32 YEARS LATER.
09:36 >> AMEN. I THINK THIS IS THE UP-LINK
09:43 CONSTRUCTION. HERE IS THE PROPERTY THE SOMERS
09:46 DONATED. AND THIS IS WHEN KENNY AND I WAS
09:48 OUT BUILDING. MAYBE RONNIE TOO.
09:50 THIS IS WHAT IS COMMONLY KNOWN AS THE UP-LINK.
09:55 SO THIS WAS AROUND 1985 WHEN WE WERE DOING THIS.
09:58 WE WERE CARPENTERS, BUT WE HAD TO DO ALL OF OUR OWN WORK AT THE
10:03 TIME. I'M GLAD WE HAVE DAVE TURNER AND
10:06 OTHERS NOW. BUT AT THE TIME IT WAS JUST THE
10:09 SHELTON BROTHERS. AND WE EVEN GOT TOMMY OUT THERE.
10:13 HE WAS NOT A CARPENTER, BUT HE WAS WILLING TO HELP.
10:17 THIS IS THE FIRST UP-LINK SATELLITE DISH.
10:21 30-SOME FEET. AND THIS IS THE LITTLE SHACK
10:23 THAT WE STARTED IN. WE WENT ON THE AIR WITH NOTHING
10:26 ELSE BUT THAT LITTLE SHACK, AND WE EVENTUALLY GOT THIS FINISHED
10:30 AND BUILT AND PUT IN A LITTLE STUDIO, AND HERE IS SOME, I
10:34 GUESS, PICTURES OF EARLY SETS AT THE UP-LINK STATION.
10:39 AND SO HERE IS THE AERIAL VIEW, AND THAT'S STILL THERE, BY THE
10:44 WAY. RADIO IS STILL THERE, AND WE'RE
10:47 MOVING OUT MOST OF THE OTHER -- AFTER 32 YEARS, WE'RE
10:51 MOVING OUT INTO SOME OTHER PRODUCTION FACILITIES, BECAUSE
10:53 LIKE SOME OF THE REST OF US, THEY ARE GETTING A BIT WARN OUT.
10:59 SO WE'RE WORKING ON IT. SO THAT'S A LITTLE BIT OF THE
11:03 PAST. >> UNFOLDING OF THAT DREAM AND
11:05 VISION THAT YOU HAD. WE'RE SEEING IT COME TO PASS
11:09 RIGHT BEFOE OUR EYES, AND WE HAVE SOME PICTURES OF SOME OLD
11:13 STAFF MEMBERS. SO LET'S LOOK AT THOSE.
11:15 >> OKAY. >> I THINK WE'RE ALL THANKSFUL
11:19 JUST TO BE HERE AT 3ABN, THAT WE HAVE A TOOL LIKE THIS, THAT WE
11:23 CAN USE TO REACH THE WORLD, AND THERE'S SO MANY PEOPLE THAT CALL
11:26 US AND WRITE US AND THAT ARE BECOMING MORE AWARE ALL THE TIME
11:30 OF 3ABN, AND WHAT WE'RE TRYING TO DO HERE, AND I THINK WE ALL
11:34 THINK IT IS A PRIVILEGE TO SIT UP HERE AND TALK TO THESE
11:37 PEOPLE. >> IF YOU USE AS YOUR EXCUSE
11:40 THAT YOU CANNOT FORGIVE HER BECAUSE SHE HASN'T APOLOGIZED TO
11:45 YOU, THEN YOU HAVE JUST SINNED AGAINST THE WORD OF GOD.
11:49 BECAUSE THE WORD SAYS FOR YOU TO FORGIVE, AND NOW YOU KNOW THAT
11:53 WORD, SO YOU MUST BE OBEDIENT TO THE WORD.
11:58 YOU PUT YOURSELF IN DOUBLE JEOPARDY, I THINK HOW I USED
12:02 THAT EARLIER. NOW NOT ONLY DO YOU HAVE TO
12:05 FORGIVE EVEN THOUGH YOU WERE WRONG, BUT NOW YOU MUST ASK GOD
12:09 TO FORGIVE YOU FOR OFFENDING HIS WORD.
12:12 SO IT'S DOWEL -- DOUBLE NOW. YOU FORGIVE AND THEN YOU ASK GOD
12:18 TO FORGIVE YOU, AND THEN AND ONLY THEN DO YOU HAVE CLEAN
12:22 HANDS AND A PURE HEART. >> PEOPLE THAT USED TO BE
12:26 FRIENDS, PEOPLE THAT WE HAVEN'T SPOKEN TO IN CHURCHES OR
12:32 WHATEVER, BECAUSE SOMEBODY OFFENDED US.-IF THIS PERSON TRESPASSES
12:37 AGAINST YOU, OFFENDS AGAINST YOU, THEN WHAT YOU NEED TO DO IS
12:44 FORGIVE THEN SEVEN TIMES 70. I'M WAITING ON THEM TO COME AND
12:48 BOW DOWN TO ME. YOU FORGIVE THEM OF THAT DEBT.
12:52 THEY OWE YOU THAT DEBT. >> IT'S WONDERFUL TO SEE HOW
12:57 PEOPLE ARE RESPONDING. 'S MANY TIMES WHEN YOU GET A
13:01 PHONE CALL HERE. I'M WORKING AS MASTER CONTROL
13:04 OPERATOR, AND A PHONE CALL COMES IN, AND SOMEBODY THAT IS JUST
13:07 REALLY IN NEED OF PRAYER, AND THEY PHONE IN.
13:10 >> UH-HUH. >> -- SOMETIMES IT SEEMS LIK
13:13 THEY ARE ON THEIR LAST HOPE, AND 3ABN IS ON THE AIR, AND THEY
13:17 MAKE THAT PHONE CALL. AND WE PRAY WITH THEM, AND IT'S
13:20 WONDERFUL TO SEE. SOMETIMES THEY -- THEY CRY OVER
13:23 THE PHONE. >> UH-HUH.
13:24 >> HI, MY NAME IS MOSES PRIMO, AND I'M VERY HAPPY TO BE HERE
13:29 WITH 3ABN. WE CAME IN JULY AND WE STARTED -TO WORK.
13:34 I WORKED FOR THE ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT, AND MY FAMILY AND I
13:39 ARE VERY HAPPY TO BE HERE WORKING FOR THE LORD.
13:43 I WOULD LIKE NOW TO INTRODUCE BY TWO SONS.
13:46 >> MY NAME IS MOSES, JR., AND I THANK GOD FOR DYING ON THE CROSS
13:53 FOR US. >> AND THIS IS DANIEL.
13:58 WHAT ARE YOU THANKFUL FOR, DANIEL?
14:02 >> I'M THANKFUL FOR [ INAUDIBLE ].
14:03 >> LET'S SING A SONG ABOUT LOVE. ♪ JESUS LOVES ME, THIS I KNOW ♪
14:12 ♪ FOR THE BIBLE TELLS ME SO ♪ ♪ [ INAUDIBLE ] ♪
14:23 ♪ THEY ARE WEAK, YET HE IS STRONG ♪
14:28 ♪ YES, JESUS LOVES ME ♪ ♪ YES, JESUS LOVES ME ♪
14:37 ♪ YES, JESUS LOVES ME ♪ ♪ THE BIBLE TELLS ME SO ♪
14:45 >> I FILL A VARIETY OF POSITIONS HERE AT 3ABN.
14:48 MOST OF THE TIME I WORK IN PRODUCTION, BUT SOMETIMES I WORK
14:53 IN MASTER CONTROL. I HAVE ALSO HAD A LITTLE
14:56 TRAINING ON THE VIDEO TOASTER. MOST OF ALL I'M THANKFUL FOR
15:02 HAVING A SAVIOR THAT WOULD COME AND DIE FOR ME, AND I'M THANKFUL
15:05 FOR THE BREATH THAT HE GIVES US EACH AND EVERY DAY.
15:09 I'M THANKFUL FOR THE FAMILY THAT WE HAVE HERE AT 3ABN, AND I
15:12 WOULD LIKE TO READ A PASSAGE FROM THE BIBLE.
15:17 IT'S FOUND IN PSALMS 136. GIVE THANKS UNTO THE GOD OF GODS
15:27 FOR HIS MERCY AND DEARTH FOREVER.
15:31 I WOULD LIKE TO WISH EVERYONE A HAPPY HOLIDAY, AND A HAPPY
15:36 THANKSGIVING. >> HELLO, MY NAME IS CLARENCE
15:42 LAWSON, THIS IS MY LOVELY WIFE TAMMY.
15:44 I THINK OF BEING THANKFUL FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO WORK IN THE
15:48 LORD'S MINISTRY. TAM SMI A CAMERA OPERATOR, AND
15:51 I'M AN ENGINEER. I HAVE HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO GO
15:53 ALL ACROSS THE UNITED STATES, EVEN AS FAR AS RUSSIA AND TOUCH
15:57 THE PEOPLE THERE AS A RESULT OF SUPPORT BY PEOPLE LIKE YOU.
16:03 AND THE 3ABN FAMILY, THE PROGRAMS THAT WILL PRODUCED HERE
16:07 AT 3ABN, THE UNITY THAT WE HAV, WHENEVER WE PRODUCE THOSE
16:12 PROGRAMS, AND THE OPPORTUNITY FOR THOSE PROGRAMS TO MINISTER
16:14 TO THE PEOPLE. >> HI, MY NAME IS DEE
16:18 HILDERBRAND, I'M PRODUCTION ASSIST IMPORTANT HERE AT THREE
16:25 ANGELS BROADCASTING. THERE ARE SO MANY THINGS I'M
16:30 THANKFUL FOR. I'M VERY THANKFUL TO THE LORD
16:33 FOR BRINGING ME SAFELY OUT HERE FROM OREGON I'M THANKFUL FOR MY
16:40 GRASSROOTS FAMILY. AND I'M THANKFUL TO BE HERE AT
16:45 THREE ANGELS BROADCASTING. I WAS ALSO RECENTLY WIDOWED, SO
16:49 TO HAVE THE BLESSING OF THE THREE ANGEL'S FAMILIARLY IS A
16:54 BLESSING TO ME. >> I'M SENIOR EDITOR HERE AT
16:58 3ABN. AND THIS YEAR WHEN I SAT DOWN TO
17:00 THINK ABOUT THE THINGS THAT I WAS GRATEFUL FOR, I CAME UP WITH
17:04 A HUGE LIST OF THINGS, AND IT'S -- AND IT'S SO NICE, NOT
17:08 JUST ONCE A YEAR, BUT MANY TIMES DURING THE YEAR TO SIT DOWN AND
17:15 WRITE OUT AN ATTITUDE LIST. THE ATTITUDE OF GRATITUDE LIST
17:25 IS IMPORTANT TO ME. THERE HAVE BEEN SOME REAL
17:29 CHALLENGINGS AND REAL BLESSINGS, ESPECIALLY SPIRITUAL BLESSINGS.
17:33 THIS YEAR AS WE WORKED ON SATELLITE SEMINAR, NOT ONLY DID
17:37 WE SEE THE BLESSING THAT IT WAS TO YOU, OUR VIEWERS, BUT WE
17:42 RECEIVED THAT SAME BLESSING ALSO.
17:44 MANY OF US WHO WORKED ON THE PROGRAM WERE LISTENING, YOU
17:47 KNOW? AND IT'S SUCH A JOY TO BE ABLE
17:49 TO WORK IN THE FIELD OF TELEVISION DOING THE WORK FOR
17:53 THE LORD. EVERY DAY WHEN I WAKE UP, IT'S A
17:57 JOY TO COME INTO WORK. IT'S THE ONE THING THAT I -- I
18:01 TRULY BELIEVE THE LORD GAVE ME WAS THE DESIRE IN MY HEART WAS
18:05 ALWAYS TO WORK IN TELEVISION, AND TO GET A CHANCE TO DO IT
18:09 WITH SOME PURPOSE AND A MEANING WITH RESULTS THAT CAN BE ETERNAL
18:13 RESULTS ARE SUCH A BLESSING. >> I CAN REMEMBER MANY INSTANCES
18:17 OF PRAYING. WE HAD FAMILY WORSHIP MORNING
18:20 AND EVENING. AND I GUESS CHRISTIANITY, MY
18:23 FATHER LEADERSHIP, AS IN THE HOME, WAS VERY IMPORTANT.
18:26 I CAN REMEMBER AS A LITTLE CHILD BEING SICK, AND MY DAD COMING
18:30 INTO MY ROOM, AND I WOULD BE LAYING ON MY BED, AND OF COURSE
18:33 HE WOULD PRAY WITH ME, BUT HE WOULD ALSO SING WITH ME.
18:36 >> IS THAT RIGHT? >> YEAH, AND I REMEMBER EVEN TO
18:40 THIS DAY HOW IT CALMED ME DOWN AND MADE ME FEEL SO MUCH BETTER.
18:44 >> MY NAME IS JOHN DINZEY, AND IT'S SUCH A BLESSING TO WORK AT
18:49 3ABN. I WOULD LIKE TO INTRODUCE TO YOU
18:52 MY WIFE. WE HAVE BEEN MARRIED 3.5 YEARS,

19:01 AND WE ARE ALSO GRATEFUL ALSO TO THE LORD FOR OUR SON SAMUEL.
19:08 THE LORD GAVE HIM TO US, AND HE IS SUCH A BLESSING, AND HAS

19:21 OPPORTUNITY THAT WE HAVE TO TESTIFY OF HIS WONDERS.
19:24 I JUST WANT TO THANK THE LORD FOR THIS HOLIDAY SEASON FOR SOME
19:30 REASON OR ANOTHER IT TENDS FOR FAMILIES TO DRAW TOGETHER AND

20:02 HIS SON TO DIE ON THE CROSS FOR US.
20:05 >> HELLO, I'M SHELLEY QUINN. >> AND I'M J.D. QUINN.
20:13 >> FIRST I GUESS THE GREATEST THING THAT I'M THANKFUL FOR IS
20:20 FLEF -- PRIVILEGE OF BEING A CHILD OF GOD.
20:25 I'M VERY THANKFUL THAT GOD HAS OPENED UP THE DOORS FOR US TO
20:29 COME INTO THE HARVEST FIELD. I BELIEVE THAT ONE OF THE THINGS
20:34 THAT I AM MOST THANKFUL FOR HERE ON EARTH IS THE LOVE OF MY
20:40 HUSBAND. AND WE'RE VERY BLESSED AS A
20:42 FAMILY. WE HOPE THAT YOU TOO ARE BLESSED
20:45 AND THAT YOU ARE ENJOYING ALL OF THE MANY, MANY BLESSINGS OF GOD

21:15 THANK YOU JESUS EVERY DAY. >> I'M GREG MORIKONE, AND THIS
21:21 IS MY WFE JILL. YOU HAVE PROBABLY SEEN HER HOST
21:25 O SOME OF THE COOKING SHOWS. >> THAT'S RIGHT.
21:28 AND AT THIS TIME OF YEAR, WE'RE SO THANKFUL FOR SO MANY THINGS.
21:32 BUT ESPECIALLY TODAY WE WOULD LIKE TO MENTION A FEW.
21:35 >> ONE OF THOSE THINGS IS THAT I'M VERY THANKFUL FOR MY WIFE
21:40 JILL. WE JUST PASSED OUR TWO-YEAR
21:43 WEDDING ANNIVERSARY. >> AND OF COURSE I'M VERY
21:46 THANKFUL TO GREG AND FOR GOD FOR BRINGING US TOGETHER.
21:51 WE'RE ALSO THAKFUL FOR OUR FAMILIES AND TO GOD FOR BRINGING
21:56 US HERE TO 3ABN. >> AND WE WOULD ALWAYS LIKE TO
22:01 THANK YOU AS VIEWERS FOR YOUR SUPPORT.-AT THIS TIME, WE WOULD LIKE TO
22:06 WISH YOU A HAPPY HOLIDAY. >> YOU KNOW, DANNY FROM THE
22:10 SOUND OF THIS CROWD OVER HERE, THAT WAS A HUMBLING EXPERIENCE
22:15 FOR A WHOLE LOT MORE PEOPLE. >> YEAH, WE'RE GOING TO BRING
22:20 EVERYBODY IN, RIGHT? >> THAT'S RIGHT.
22:23 THREE OF THE PEOPLE WE SAW -- >> RODNEY.
22:26 >> RODNEY. AND BOBBY DAVIS, THEY ARE BACK
22:30 IN THE CONTROL ROOM RIGHT NOW, DIRECTING AND PRODUCING.
22:33 SO LET'S GO BACK AND SEE WHAT THEY LOOK LIKE TODAY.
22:37 >> OKAY. MR. IS BRADLEY, RODNEY.
22:40 THERE HE IS, TURNAROUND AND WAVE.
22:44 YOUR HAIR AS CHANGED A LITTLE BIT.
22:47 YOU GOT A BEARD. I GOT RID OF MY BEARD, AND HE
22:51 ADDED A BEARD. >> AND BOBBY DAVIS'S HAIR JUST
22:56 DISAPPEARED. >> WASN'T GOING TO TALK ABOUT
22:58 THAT. MOLLIE SAID THAT, NOT ME.
23:00 BUT SEE HOW MANY YEARS THEY HAVE BEEN THERE, PUT THEM TOGETHER
23:07 AND IT HAS BEEN ABOUT 60 YEARS. EVERYTHING YOU SEE UP HERE, THE
23:11 FOLKS BACK THERE BEHIND THE CAMERAS MAKE THIS HAPPEN.
23:15 MOST OF US OUT FRONT DON'T, SOME OF US DO, LIKE A FEW OF YOU IN
23:21 PRODUCTION, BUT FOR THE MOST PART WE HAE THESE GUYS AND
23:25 WOMEN BACK THERE, AND WE THANK YOU ALL FOR WHAT YOU DO.
23:29 >> THE WHOLE PURPOSE OF THREE ANGELS BROADCASTING NETWORK IS
23:34 TO PROCLAIM A MESSAGE, AND IT TAKEINGS PREACHERS TO DO THAT.
23:39 >> THAT'S RIGHT. >> AND I THINK WE HAVE SOME
23:44 ROLES OF EARLY PRE PREEFRP -- PREACHERS.
23:51 YOU ARE GOING TO ENJOY THIS. >> IF PEOPLE FELT THE BOOK OF
23:57 PROPHECY WAS A CLOSED BOOK. BUT THEY GO TOGETHER LIKE A HAND
24:02 IN A GLOVE. >> THE WORD IS IMPELLED, FORCED
24:06 BY THE SPIRIT, THE CALLING, THE WOOING OF THE HOLY SPIRIT TO LAY
24:11 DOWN THE TOOLS OF THE CARPENTER AND TAKE UP THE TOOLS OF THE
24:18 SAVIOR. >> SHE BEGAN TO CALL HIM.
24:21 MARK? MARK?
24:21 WHERE ARE YOU SON? AND ALL OF A SUDDEN, RIGHTFUL
24:26 THOUGHTS FILLED HER MIND. HE HAS BEEN KIDNAPPED.
24:29 >> THE VAST MAJORITY OF THE PEOPLE IN THE WORLD ARE GOING TO
24:33 BE DECEIVED BY THE ANTICHRIST. AND THEREFORE, IT IS VERY, VERY
24:39 IMPORTANT, THAT WE UNDERSTAND THESE TRUTHS.
24:45 >> HE KNOWS WHAT TO DO. HE SPECIALIZES IN DEFEATING
24:52 ENEMIES, AND EXSALTING VALLEYS WHILE MOUNTAINS ARE BEING
24:57 LEVELED. HE SPECIALIZES IN TAKING CARE OF
25:00 WHATEVER PROBLEM PLAGUES US TODAY.
25:02 >> IT'S A AMAZING THE QUESTIONS THAT PEOPLE ASK IN THE WORD OF
25:06 GOD. THE ONE TIME WHEN THE DISCIPLES
25:09 ARE IN THE SEA OF GALLEY WITH JESUS.
25:13 AND THEY WOKE UP JESUS THEY SAID LORD, DON'T YOU CARE THAT WE
25:18 MIGHT PARISH? AND HERE IN VERSE 24 OF THE NEW
25:26 TESTAMENT, IT SAYS GOD IS SPIRIT, AND THEY THAT WORSHIP
25:32 HIM MUST WORSHIP HIM IN SPIRIT AND IN TRUTH.
25:35 I HAD AN EXPERIENCE THAT LEAD ME TO SEARCH THE SCRIPTURES THAT I
25:39 WOULD LIKE TO SHARE WITH YOU. I WAS DOING SOME WITNESSING
25:44 DOOR-TO-DOOR, SARING BOOKS SHORTLY AFTER I HAD BECOME A
25:48 CHRISTIAN. I WAS EAGER TO SHARE MY NEW
25:53 FAITH. I JUST FELT AS THOUGH I HAD TO
25:55 GO OUT AND FIND SOMEBODY WHO I COULD SHARE THESE THINGS WITH.
26:00 >> AND GIVEN OPPORTUNITY AFTER OPPORTUNITY, WE HAVE THIS CITY
26:05 TO COME TO OUR CITY, COME TO OUR CITY.
26:07 SO WE BELIEVE THAT GOD IS JUST GOING TO CONTINUE TO DO

29:25 ANGELS BROADCASTING NETWORK HAS BEEN MUSIC.
29:27 AND WE HAVE GOT SOME EARLY ROLLS OF OUR EARLY SINGERS.

35:55 THANK YOU, MELODY, HONEY FOR ALL OF THE YEARS.
36:01 THIS GIRL WENT -- ONE YEAR WE TRAVELED A HUNDRED AFTER YOUR
36:10 MOTHER DIED -- WE TRAVELED A HUNDRED,000 MILES TOGETHER,
36:22 SINGING, CHURCH AFTER CHURCH, PLACE AFTER PLACE.
36:24 I WOULD GO TO PEOPLE'S HOMES. SHE WAS 11, 12, 13 YEARS OLD.
36:34 SHE WOULD SIT FOR HOURS. HAD TO BE BORING.
36:38 SHE ALWAYS JUST SAT NO MATTER WHERE WE WENT, HOW MANY
36:43 SERVICES, HOW MANY TIMES SHE HEARD ME SPEAK.
36:46 NEVER COMPLAINED. >> UH-HUH.
36:49 >> ALL RIGHT. >> YOU KNEW GOD WAS IN IT,
36:52 DIDN'T YOU, MELODY? YOU KNEW THIS WAS FROM GOD.
36:56 >> THANK YOU, HONEY. I LOVE YOU.
36:58 >> I THINK THE PROOF NOW IS THAT GOD HONORED THAT FAITHFULNESS,
37:03 AND -- AND TODAY THE MINISTRY IS TOUCHING AND REACHING AND -- AND
37:07 SO MANY -- SO MANY PEOPLE CONTINUE TO BE BLESSED BY THE
37:11 MINISTRY OF THREE ANGELS BROADCASTING NETWORK.
37:15 >> HONESTLY, THERE MAY HAVE BEEN A 3ABN.
37:19 WE MAY NOT HAVE BEEN A PART OF IT, BUT IT WAS AFTER THE
37:22 ACCIDENT, I WANTED MELODY -- I KNEW GOD HAD GIVEN HER A GIFT.
37:28 SHE DIDN'T HAVE HER MOTHER, AND I REALLY WANTED HER TO USE THAT
37:31 GIFT. SO BY MYSELF, I -- KENNY AND
37:35 I -- WE WERE CARPENTERING, I WOULD HAVE DONE THAT, BUT I
37:39 WANTED TO BE WITH HER, AND TO GIVE HER THE OPPORTUNITY, YOU
37:42 KNOW, TO USE HER GIFTS, THAT'S WHEN WE HAD SOE OPPORTUNITIES
37:46 TO SING ON OTHER CHRISTIAN NETWORKS, AND THAT'S WHEN I SAID
37:51 WHY DON'T WE HAVE A TELEVISION STATION TO REACH THE WORLD?
37:55 SOME OF THESE OTHER FOLK ARE REACHING.
37:57 NO ONE WAS REACHING THE WORLD AT THE TIME.
38:00 BUT HERE IN AMERICA, A NUMBER OF OTHER NETWORKS, SO GOING TO
38:03 THOSE, AND THAT'S -- THE LORD IMPRESSED.
38:06 THANK YOU, HONEY FOR YOUR FAITHFULNESS IN ALL OF THE
38:09 YEARS. >> YOU KNOW, DANNY THIS MINISTRY
38:11 HAS TOUCHED HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE, BUT THERE
38:14 ARE MINISTERS AND MINISTRIES THAT WILL TELL US VERY QUICKLY
38:18 HOW THIS MINISTRY HAS IMPACTED THEM.
38:21 AS A MATTER OF FACT WE HAVE MINISTERS AND MINISTRIES THAT
38:25 HAVE JUST SENT US A LITTLE MESSAGE TO TELL US HOW MUCH THEY
38:29 APPRECIATE US. >> HI, DANNY, AND 3ABN.
38:34 IT'S BEEN A LOT OF YEARS SINCE I MADE THE DRIVE FROM NORTHWEST
38:41 ARKANSAS UP TO THE CORN FIELDS OF ILLINOIS TO FIND THAT GREAT
38:46 BIG BUILDING IN THE MIDDLE OF NOWHERE, BROADCASTING THE THREE
38:52 ANGELS MESSAGE AROUND THE GLOE. AND I CAN'T TELL ME WHAT IT HAS
38:55 DONE FOR ME PERSONALLY. THE OPPORTUNITY FOR ME TO BE
38:58 SEEN ON THAT NETWORK, HAS LITERALLY TAKEN A YOUNG OBSCURE
39:03 PASTOR WHO WAS HEARING GOD'S CALL TO BE A SWEET SINGER OF
39:08 ISRAEL. WE STEPPED OUT IN FAITH, NOT
39:11 KNOWING HOW IN THE WORLD GOD WOULD PROVIDE, AND THEN GOD
39:14 SPENT 3ABN. AND 3ABN GAVE ME THAT PLATFORM
39:17 TO THE WORLD, WHICH HAS GIVEN ME 25 YEARS OF 85 CONCERTS A YEAR,
39:26 BUSY AS I WANT TO BE, AND BUSIER THAN I WANT TO BE, AND PRIMARILY
39:31 BECAUSE WHEN I CALL, PEOPLE SAY, OH, WE KNOW YOU.
39:34 WE HAVE SEEN YOU ON 3ABN. SO THAT'S CERTAINLY SOMETHING
39:42 THAT HAS NOT GONE UNNOTICED IN OUR FAMILY.
39:47 AND MY PERSONAL APPRECIATION FOR WHAT 3ABN HAS DONE CANNOT EVEN
39:54 BE EXPRESSED, BUT IT EVEN GOES FURTHER THAN THAT.
39:58 THE FRIENDSHIP THAT I HAVE HAD WITH EVERYONE FROM THE CAMERA
40:03 CREW TO THE FRONT OFFICE PEOPLE TO DANNY.
40:08 THE TRAVEL, THE OPPORTUNITIES TO GO TO DIFFERENT EVENTS AS YOUR
40:12 GUEST, AND TO BE PART OF THE TEAM.
40:15 FOR SOMEONE WHO LOVES COMMUNITY, BEING A GOSPEL SINGER IS REALLY
40:20 CONTRARY TO THAT, BECAUSE YOU END UP ALONE ALL THE TIME.
40:26 OR JUST TRAVELING BY YOURSELF. BUT 3ABN HAS PROVIDED A SENSE OF
40:30 FAMILY ON MANY OCCASIONS THAT I'LL CHERISH FOREVER.
40:36 SO 3ABN, THANK YOU. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR WHAT YOU
40:39 HAVE DONE FOR OTHER MINISTRIES WITHOUT ASKING ANYTHING IN
40:46 RETURN. SO GOD BLESS YOU.
40:47 CONTINUE ON WITH MANY MORE SUCCESSFUL YEARS.
40:51 ♪ >> AMEN.
40:53 WELL, THANK YOU, STEVE. THAT WAS NICE.
40:56 AND IT'S A WIN-WIN, BECAUSE STEVE HE HAS BEEN WILLING TO

41:06 DO IT, BUT IT HAS BEEN -- WE'RE SO THANKFUL THAT GOD HAS ALLOWED
41:11 3ABN TO BE A SPRINGBOARD FOR SO MANY UP MINISTRIES THAT AROUND
41:16 THE WORLD PEOPLE LITERALLY CAME HERE.
41:18 THEY WERE INTERVIEWED AND WOULD GET PHONE CALLS, AND I CAN'T
41:21 TELL YOU HOW MANY PEOPLE HAVE BEEN ABLE TO QUIT CERTAIN JOBS
41:25 THEY WERE IN TO GO INTO CERTAIN TYPES OF MINISTRY.
41:28 WHETHER IT'S HEALTH OR EVANGELISM, AND IT HAS BEEN
41:33 AMAZING. AND SOME OF THOSE WE'LL TALK
41:34 ABOUT LATER ON, BUT THEY LEFT THEIR OCCASION MAKING A LOT OF
41:40 MONEY, AND WE GOT THEM TO VOLUNTEER NOT MAKING A PENNY
41:47 LIKE BRENDA WALSH OVER HERE. WHAT A BLESSING, AND FOR ALL OF
41:53 US THAT -- THAT DO THIS. WE HAVE SOMEBODY ELSE WE HAVE
41:58 WORKED WITH. YOU HAVE GOT TO LOVE THIS GUY.
42:03 >> HE IS QUITE A CHARACTER. HE CAME FROM ILLINOIS.
42:06 >> GREAT SINGER. >> DARYLE MARSHALL.
42:09 LET'S HEAR WHAT HE HAS TO SAY. >> HELLO, FRIENDS, I'M DARYLE
42:14 MAR SHELL. I MET DANNY SHELTON 17 YEARS
42:17 AGO, AND HE CHANGED MY LIFE. DANNY INVITED ME TO COME OVER TO
42:23 3ABN AND DO SOME WORK THERE, WHERE I MET SOME OF THE MOST
42:27 WONDERFUL DEVOTED CHRISTIAN PEOPLE THAT SURROUND HIM AND
42:32 3ABN. AND THEY PRAY NON-STOP JUST TO
42:33 KEEP THIS GOING. IT'S A WONDERFUL MINISTRY THAT
42:36 REACHES ALL THE WAY AROUND THE WORLD.
42:38 DANNY INVITED ME TO TRAVEL WITH HIM, ACROSS THE COUNTRY, AND
42:43 SING AND MINISTER TO MANY PEOPLE IN MANY CHURCHES.
42:47 THERE I HAVE MET GREAT PEOPLE THAT IMPACTED MY MINISTRY AS
42:52 WELL. A LOT OF MINISTRIES STARTED JUST
42:54 BECAUSE OF 3ABN. I TALK TO THEM PERSONALLY, THAT
42:58 STILL SAY 3ABN HAS REACHED MORE PEOPLE THAN THEY CAN EVER ASK
43:03 FOR. SO I'M STANDING ON THE STAGE
43:05 HERE AT THE WORSHIP CENTER, WHERE I HAVE BEEN A PART OF MANY
43:09 CAMP MEETINGS OVER THE PAST FEW YEARS.
43:13 I HAVE MET PEOPLE BACK HERE, BACKSTAGE, AND WE HAVE LAUGHED.
43:17 WE HAVE CRIED TOGETHER. AND WE HAVE HAD A LOT OF PRAYER
43:21 BACK HERE IN THE BACK. SO I WANT TO THANK YOU ALL OVER
43:27 THIS WORLD FOR SUPPORTING 3ABN FOR 32 YEARS IN THE MINISTRY.
43:32 I PRAY FOR BLESSINGS ON DANNY, AND THAT THEY WILL CONTINUE FOR
43:38 MANY, MANY MORE YEARS OF HEALING THE HURTING AND SAVING THE LOST.
43:43 THAT'S THEIR GOAL. AND SO THANK YOU, AGAIN FOR
43:47 SUPPORTING US AND PRAYING FOR THEM SPIRITUALLY, AND WE PRAY
43:53 GOD'S BLESSINGS ON YOUR LIFE TODAY.
43:55 THANK YOU. >> THANK YOU, DARYLE.

44:02 OFF. I GOT IN TROUBLE FOR THAT.
44:04 HE WAS AT CAMP MEETING AND SHOWED UP WITH A TIE WITH LIKE
44:09 LOONEY TIES ON -- >> FRED FLINTSTONE.
44:14 >> I SAID YOU ARE NOT GOING TO SING WITH THAT TIE.
44:17 >> HE SAID WHY NOT? I SAID IF YOU DO I'LL CUT IT
44:22 OFF. SO RIGHT BEFORE HE WENT OUT, I
44:26 GOT SCISSORS, AND I CUT HIS TIE. BUT THIS ONE ISON PURPOSE.
44:31 THIS IS LIKE THE COWBOY TIE. SPEAKING OF THE COWBOY TIE, WE
44:35 HAD TO PUT IN ABOUT 30 SECONDS OF UNCLE OLIN WITH HIS COWBOY
44:41 TIE. THIS IS FROM UNCLE OLIN WAY BACK
44:45 IN THE '80S, MY -- OUR UNCLE OLIN SHELTON, AND WE CALLED HIM
44:53 BIG O. NEVER SANG ANYWHERE IN HIS LIFE
44:56 UNTIL WE CAME ON 3ABN. AND ONCE HE DID, PEOPLE LOVED
44:59 HIM, AND WE HAD TO HAVE HIM BACK TIME AND TIME AGAIN.
45:03 WE'LL LISTEN TO UNCLE OLIN, AND HIS TRADEMARK SONG "LIFE IS LIKE

45:39 BECAUSE TIMING -- SOMETIMES HE'LL GIVE AN EXTRA BAR OR A
45:43 HALF OF BAR -- >> YEAH, WE WOULD WATCH HIM AND

45:50 IN WHEN SOMEBODY IS TURNING A ROPE, YOU WITH LIKE THIS, AND AS
45:55 SOON AS THE FIRST WORLD WOULD COME OUT, WE WOULD JUMP IN.

53:42 REACHING THE WORLD WITH THE GOSPEL OF JESUS CHRIST, AND THE
53:46 THREE ANGELS MESSAGES. WE THANK 3ABN, AND OTHER
53:53 SUPPORTING MINISTRIES FOR THEIR CONTRIBUTION TO THE GROWTH OF

55:04 WHEN YOU HAVE NEARLY 20 MILLION MEMBERS, YOU GOING TO
55:08 HAVE -- YOU KNOW, NOT EVERYTHING IS GOING TO RUN SMOOTHLY, SO
55:12 WHEN I SIT HERE AT 3ABN AND SEE THE NEW PROBLEMS WE HAVE, IT'S
55:17 NOTHING WHEN YOU THINK ABOUT, KEN, IF YOU HAVE 20 MILLION
55:21 MEMBERS, IT WOULD BE TOUGH. BUT HE DOES A GREAT JOB, AND HE
55:25 DOESN'T COMPROMISE. AND WE'RE PRAYING YOU.
55:27 AND WE SUPPORT YOU IN WHAT YOU ARE DOING.
55:30 THANK YOU FOR THE OPPORTUNITY OF WORKING TOGETHER WITH THE
55:34 GENERAL CONFERENCE. SPEAKING OF THAT, ADVENTISTS
55:38 ONLY HAD THE MEDIA CENTER IN THE '80S, OUT IN THOUSAND OAKS, -CALIFORNIA.
55:44 AND I THINK BREATH OF LIFE WAS OUT THERE.
55:46 THE SPANISH PROGRAM. VOICE PROPHECY RADIO, BUT NONE
55:53 OF THOSE WERE CHANNELS OR NETWORKS TO REACH THE COUNTRY.
55:57 THEY EAC DEVELOPED A 30-MINUTE PROGRAM THAT THEY WOULD PLAY ON
56:03 TELEVISION STATIONS OR RADIO. SO WE DIDN'T REALLY HAVE
56:11 ADVENTIST TELEVISION. AT THIS TIME THERE WAS NOT ONE
56:18 STATION ON EARTH GIVING BIBLE PROGRAMMING 24-7.
56:22 SO WHEN 3ABN CAME ALONG, AND A 1990 GENERAL CONFERENCE, WE'RE
56:26 ALL PLEAS BY THEN, KENNY. SO WE STARTED HERE THE BUILDING
56:30 IN '86, AND BY '90 SOMEONE DONATED US A BUS -- IT WASN'T
56:38 REALLY A BUS. IT MIGHT HOLD 20 PEOPLE.
56:41 SOME PEOPLE USED IT TO HALL PEOPLE LIKE TO NURSING HOMES AND
56:45 WHAT HAVE YOU. IT HAD GLASS ON IT AND ALL
56:49 AROUND THE SIDES. BUT WE SAID THIS IS A GREAT BUS,
56:53 SO WE LOADED UP TELEVISION EQUIPMENT AND HEADED TO THE
56:57 GENERAL CONFERENCE, AND SHOWED FOR THE FIRST TIME IN THE
57:00 HISTORY OF THE ADVENTIST CHURCH, PEOPLE COULD STAY HOME AND WATCH
57:05 THE GENERAL COUNSEL SESION. MOST PEOPLE COULDN'T GO.
57:10 BACK THEN WE ONLY HAD 5 TO 6 MILLION ADVENTISTS.
57:14 AND SINCE THAT TIME, ALL OF THE MEDIA TOGETHER, ALMOST 20
57:18 MILLION MEMBERS SINCE THEN. BUT I THINK WHICH HAVE SOME
57:21 FOOTAGE THERE WE DID IN THE 1990S.
57:24 THEN WE LOADED UP BOX AFTER BOX AFTER BOX, AND FLEW TO HOLLAND
57:30 FOR THE 1995. SO HERE WE HAVE SOME OF THEM

57:35 THE DOME IN 1990. 55TH WORLD CONFERENCE OF

57:45 TIME GOT TO SEE A GENERAL CONFERENCE.

01:05:05 [ APPLAUSE ] >> CAN ANYBODY SING LIKE REGGIE
01:05:07 SMITH? >> I DON'T THINK SO.
01:05:09 AMAZING. >> THAT IS AMAZING.
01:05:11 >> WHAT A BEAUTIFUL SONG TOO. >> OH, I LOE THAT SONG.
01:05:15 YOU KNOW, IN -- IN WATCHING THIS, AND LOOKING AT THE ROLES
01:05:20 FROM THE GENERAL CONFERENCE, IT JUST MAKES ME PROUD TO BE A PART
01:05:29 OF THE CHURCH THAT IS REACHING THE WHOLE WORLD.
01:05:35 >> AMEN. >> I GET CALLS FROM PEOPLE
01:05:40 ASKING ARE WE AN INDEPENDENT MINISTRY?
01:05:42 NO, WE ARE NOT. WE ARE TOTALLY DEPENDANT.
01:05:53 I KNOW INDEPENDENT SOUND LIKE WE ARE DOING OUR OWN THINGS.
01:06:00 WE ARE A SUPPORTING MINISTRY OF THIS SEVENTH DAYED A M
01:06:11 -- SEVENTH-DAY ADVENTIST CHURCH.
01:06:13 I'M SO PROUD THAT GOD BROUGHT ME INTO A CHURCH THAT HAS A VISION
01:06:18 TO REACH THE WHOLE WORLD. >> AMEN.
01:06:20 >> A CHURCH THAT WILL TAKE THE GOSPEL TO ALL OF THE WORLD.
01:06:25 AM I RIGHT, PASTORS? SO THAT'S ONE OF THE IDENTIFYING
01:06:30 MARKS. WHEN I MET HALL AND MOLLIE IN
01:06:33 THE LATE '70S. THEY HAD A LARGE CHURCH.
01:06:36 IT STARTED WITH A FEW PEOPLE AND GREW TO HUNDREDS.
01:06:40 >> BUT IN OUR CHURCH, WOMEN DIDN'T PREACH.
01:06:42 SO I THOUGHT I'M A TEACHER. >> I THOUGHT YOU WAS PREACHING.
01:06:47 I COULDN'T TELL. THERE WAS A LOT OF NOISE GOING
01:06:50 ON IN THOSE CHURCHES. THEY GET PEOPLE THAT WEE
01:06:53 EXCITED AND HAPPY. SOME OF OURS WE COULD USE A
01:06:58 LITTLE BIT MORE EXCITEMENT AND BE HAPPY ABOUT IT, RIGHT?
01:07:02 WHEN I MET MOLLIE SHE AND HALL WERE CHRISTIANS ALREADY.
01:07:10 SHELLEY AND J.D. BACK HERE. MANY OF YOU PROBABLY REMEMBER
01:07:14 OTHERS OF YOU FROM DIFFERENT DENOMINATIONS.
01:07:18 SO YOU WERE ALREADY CHRISTIANS, BUT PEOPLE WATCHING 3ABN SAID
01:07:22 THERE ARE TRUTHS THAT I HAVE NEVER UNDERSTOOD.
01:07:25 AND AS A CHURCH, WE HAVE BEEN COMMISSIONED TO GIVE THE THREE
01:07:31 ANGELS MESSAGE. BUT BASICALLY IT'S AN END TIMES
01:07:35 MESSAGE FOR AN END-TIMES PEOPLE. THAT'S ALL IT REALLY IS, IS TO
01:07:39 LET YOU KNOW THAT -- THAT WE HAVE A GIFT OF PROPHECY.
01:07:42 AND THE GIFT OF PROPHECY, WHAT IS SO IMPORTANT ABOUT THAT IS
01:07:46 THE FACT THAT -- GUESS WHAT? WE DON'T HAVE TO FEAR THE
01:07:51 FUTURE. >> AMEN!
01:07:52 >> THE BIBLE TELLS US, A LOT OF CHURCHES DO AWAY WITH DANIEL AND-REVELATION.
01:07:58 BUT NO, IF YOU WANT TO KNOW WHAT LIES AHEAD.
01:08:02 SAY YOU ARE HAVING FINANCIAL TROUBLES, AND YOU KNEW THREE
01:08:09 WEEKS FROM NOW YOUR SHIP WILL COME IN, YOU WOULDN'T BE TOO
01:08:14 WORRIED. IN THIS WORLD, YOU CAN BE
01:08:17 STRUGGLING, AND YOU SAY I HAVE READ THE BACK OF THE BOOK.
01:08:21 AND IT SAYS THEY OVERCOME HIM, THE DEVIL BY THEIR TESTIMONY.
01:08:26 SO WE KNOW IN THE END WE WIN. >> MAMEN.
01:08:33 >> SO I'M THRILLED TO BE A PART OF THIS CHURCH.
01:08:36 PEOPLE SAY YOUR MOTHER WAS AN ADVENTIST, SO OUT OF
01:08:42 TRADITION -- YOUR DAD BECAME ONE-LATER. BUT I SAY I STUDIED WITH
01:08:48 MORMONS, BAPTISTS, JEHOVAH'S WITNESS, PENTECOSTALS.
01:08:55 BECAUSE I WANTED THE TRUTH. AND I SAID, YOU KNOW, IF THIS IS
01:08:58 SO -- IF THERE WERE A CHURCH THAT I BELIEVE WAS CLOSER TO THE
01:09:03 BIBLE, I WOULD BE A PART OF THAT CHURCH.
01:09:05 I'M NOT STUCK ON THE NAME SEVENTH-DAY ADVENTIST, BUT THIS
01:09:12 IS GOD'S CHURCH. AN END-TIMES MESSAGE FOR AN
01:09:18 END-TIMES PEOPLE. MY UNCLE SAID ONE TIME -- AND I
01:09:23 ALWAYS LOVED IT, BECAUSE MY FOLKS WERE KIND OF STRAIGHT, BY
01:09:30 AUNTS AND UNCLES, ANY TIME SOMETHING WOULD COME UP IN THE
01:09:34 CHURCH AND PEOPLE WERE WANTING TO GO TO THE LEFT OR RIGHT, HE
01:09:37 WOULD SAY, HEY, LOOK, THIS IS WHAT WE BELIEVE.
01:09:40 THIS IS WHAT THE BIBLE SAYS, AND IF YOU DON'T LIKE IT, JOIN
01:09:44 ANOTHER CHURCH OR START YOUR OWN.
01:09:46 DON'T TRY TO CHANGE THIS ONE. [ LAUGHTER ]
01:09:47 >> SO SOMETIMES I THINK WE NEED TO DO THAT, GREG THOMPSON,
01:09:52 SOMETIMES WE HEAD TO TO SAY THIS IS WHAT THE BIBLE SAYS, BECAUSE
01:09:56 WE TRY TO GO TO THE LEFT AND GO TO THE RIGHT, AND THE DEVIL
01:10:00 DOESN'T CARE WHAT SIDE OF THE BOAT WE FALL OUT OF, JUST AS
01:10:03 LONG AS WE FALL OUT. SO 3ABN FOR WHAT WE HAV BEEN
01:10:08 DOING AND AS A BOARD -- AND I'M THANKFUL FOR SOME OF THE BOARD
01:10:15 MEMBERS HERE, AND DR. THOMPSON'S SON, WHO DR. THOMPSON HAS NOW
01:10:23 HANDED THE GAVEL OVER THE YOU, SO THANK YOU FOR WHAT YOU ARE
01:10:27 DOING, AND FOR BEING HERE TODAY. BUT I'M SO THANKFUL THAT 3ABN
01:10:31 HAS KEPT AN EMPHASIS ON THE MESSAGE.
01:10:34 THERE ARE A LOT OF THINGS WE HAVE BEEN ACCUSED OF OVER 32
01:10:40 YEARS, ESPECIALLY ME, BUT AFTER 32 YEARS, NO ONE SAYS WELL 3ABN
01:10:45 IS WAY -- THEY ARE LEGALIST ON THIS SIDE, OR WAY OVER HERE, SO
01:10:51 LIBERAL, BECAUSE WE KNOW WHAT THE MESSAGE HAS ALWAYS BEEN,
01:10:55 FROM THE FOUDATION, NOT ONLY THE WORLD, BUT THIS CHURCH, FROM
01:10:59 WHAT THE MISSION HAS BEEN, AND WE DECIDED AND HAD A BOARD WHO
01:11:03 SUPPORTED WE'RE NOT GOING TO LEFT THE OR RIGHT, WE'RE GOING
01:11:06 TO CONTINUE TO GIVE THE TRUTH AS WE SEE IT AND BELIEVE IT IN THE
01:11:10 BIBLE, AND LET THE CHIPS FALL WHERE THEY MAY.
01:11:12 NOT TRYING TO PLEASE PEOPLE BUT PLEASE GOD.
01:11:15 AND IF WE LOVE PEOPLE, WE'LL TELL THEM THE TRUTH.
01:11:19 WE WON'T TRY TO WIN THEM IN BY ALL KINDS OF MEANS.
01:11:25 NO. SO THAT'S WHY I BELIEVE 3ABN IS
01:11:28 STILL GOING FORWARD, IS NOT BECAUSE OF ANY OF US, AS I SAID
01:11:32 EARLIER, IT'S IN SPITE OF US, AND STILL GOING TO THE WORLD,
01:11:35 BECAUSE YOU, THE VIEWERS AT HOME, AND ALL OF US HAVE SAID WE
01:11:40 KNOW WHAT GOD HAS CALLED US TO GIVE.
01:11:43 WE'RE NOT GOING TO TRY TO CHANGE WHAT WE BELIEVE IS THE TROOITS
01:11:46 OF THE BIBLE, AND WE'RE GOING TO CONTINUE TO PREACH THOSE,
01:11:50 BECAUSE JESUS SAID AFTER THIS GOSPEL OF THE KINGDOM GOES INTO
01:11:54 ALL OF THE WORLD, THEN THE BEGINNING OF THE WORLD NOW, THE
01:11:59 BEGINNING OF ETERNITY. >> EMPHASIS ON AN UNDILUTED
01:12:05 MESSAGE, AND EMPHASIS ON EVANGELISM.
01:12:08 3ABN HAS IMPACTED THIS WORLD WITH EVANGELISM.
01:12:12 >> PRAISE THE LORD. >> AND WE HAVE SOME FOOTAGE OF
01:12:16 SOME OF THESE MEN AND WOMEN THAT HAVE IMPACTED THE WORLD WITH
01:12:22 EVANGELISM THROUGH 3ABN. LET'S LOOK AT JOHN CARTER.
01:12:24 ♪->> THIS IS BACK IN RUSSIA, 1992. WENT TO A CITY OF 3.5 MILLION
01:12:35 PEOPLE. THERE WEE ONLY 200-PLUS
01:12:41 SEVENTH-DAY ADVENTIST. COMMUNISM HAS JUST FALLED.
01:12:44 JOHN RENTED THIS FACILITY. AND EVERYONE SAID NO ONE WILL
01:12:48 SHOW UP. THEY DON'T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT
01:12:50 GOD. THEY DON'T EVEN HAVE
01:12:53 TRANSPORTATION. LOOK THIS IS BAPTISM TIME, FOLKS
01:12:55 AFTER FOUR WEEKS. >> PRAISE GOD.
01:12:57 >> WOW. GIVES ME CHILL BUMPS.
01:13:00 >> AMEN. >> 2,3 -- 2,532 PEOPLE WERE
01:13:07 BAPTIZED THAT DAY, AND THEY -- AND THEY BAPTIZED SOME
01:13:14 20-SOME-ODD PREACHERS FOR FOUR HOURS.
01:13:16 PEOPLE WHO HAD NEVER HAD A BIBLE.
01:13:17 HAD NEVER KNOWN ANYTHING ABOUT GOD, WHEN THEY HEARD IT COULDN'T
01:13:21 GET THE MESSAGE ENOUGH. ISN'T THIS AMAZING?
01:13:24 SO 3ABN WAS PRIVILEGED TO TEAM UP WITH ELDER JOHN CARTER AS HE
01:13:32 CONTINUES TO REACH THE WORLD. AND HE JUST GOT BACK FROM CUBA,
01:13:36 AND 600-SOME-ODD BAPTISMS THERE IN THE LAST FEW WEEKS, AND THEN
01:13:43 HAD SOME HEALTH ISSUES, WAS IN THE HOSPITAL IN EUROPE, AND NOW
01:13:48 HE'S IN KIEV OR WHEREVER. SO HE CONTINUES TO TRAVEL FOR
01:13:53 THE WORLD. AND WE HAVE SEEN THOUSANDS AND
01:13:55 THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE COME TO THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE TRUTH, AND JOIN
01:13:59 THE CHURCH THROUGH THE MINISTRY OF THE CARTER REPORT.
01:14:06 >> IN 1996 THERE WAS A GREAT EVENT THAT 3ABN WAS A PART OF
01:14:10 TOO. DANNY TELL US ABOUT THIS.
01:14:14 >> OKAY. THIS IS MARK FINLEY, AND FOR THE
01:14:18 FIRST TIME IN THE HISTORY OF THE ADVENTIST CHURCH WAS SPEAKING
01:14:23 HERE IN AMERICA, AND 3ABN HAD INSTALLED DISHES THROUGHOUT
01:14:28 EUROPE AND A NUMBER OF CHURCHES. WE BROUGHT TRANSLATORS FROM
01:14:32 NUMEROUS COUNTRIES. WE BROUGHT ALL OF THESE
01:14:37 TRANSLATORS TO COME AS MARK WAS PREACHED, IT WAS GOING OUT LIVE
01:14:43 LITERALLY THROUGH ALL OF AMERICA AND EUROPE.
01:14:46 AND GUESS WHO WAS IN CHARGE OF ALL OF THESE TRANSLATORS AND THE
01:14:50 GENERAL CONFERENCE TO MAKE THIS HAPPEN?
01:14:53 BRAD THORP. SO BRAD CAME AND CAUGHT THE
01:14:55 VISION OF TELEVISION, AND LATER, AS YOU KNOW WAS IN CHARGE OF
01:15:00 HOPE CHANNEL FOR A NUMBER OF YEARS.
01:15:03 SO TO US THIS WAS AMAZING. WE WOULD GO DOWN AND I WOULD
01:15:06 JUST LOVE TO HEAR ALL OF THESE, AND IF YOU STAND BY THE BOARD,
01:15:11 YOU WOULD HEAR ALL OF THESE DIFFERENT LANGUAGES AT THE SAME
01:15:15 TIME. ISN'T THIS AMAZING WE CAN NOW
01:15:18 SEND THIS SIGNAL TO EUROPE. IN THAT WAS 1996.
01:15:22 AND NOW LITERALLY AROUND THE WORLD.
01:15:24 >> NOT JUST IN ENGLISH, BUT IN EVERY ONE OF THE DIFFERENT
01:15:29 LANGUAGES. >> LISTEN TO THIS.
01:15:30 ♪
01:15:57 >> WOE. IT GIVES ME THOSE CHILL BUMPS.
01:16:00 >> AMEN! [ APPLAUSE ]
01:16:04 >> WHAT -- WHAT AN AMAZING -- WHAT AN AMAZING
01:16:07 OPPORTUNITY TO SEE THIS GOSPEL STARTING TO GO LITERALLY TO THE
01:16:11 WORLD, AND A SPECIAL THANKS TO McKEES, OF McKEE FOODS, AND THE
01:16:20 McNEIL US FAMILY, BECAUSE THEY PUT A TREMENDOUS AMOUNT OF MONEY
01:16:25 IN PURCHASING SATELLITE DISHES IN EUROPE, AND HELPED US PUT UP
01:16:30 OUR FIRST EUROPEAN DISH THAT WENT OUTSIDE OF AMERICA, THAT
01:16:33 LITERALLY SENT THIS. SO THEY PUT TREMENDOUS AMOUNTS
01:16:37 OF MONEY IN IT. AND CHURCHES WOULD HAVE AS MANY
01:16:40 AS 60,000 PEOPLE A NIGHT COMING IN EUROPE TO HEAR MARK FINLEY
01:16:45 PREACH. AND RESULTED IN HUNDREDS OF
01:16:49 THOUSANDS OF BAPTISMS, SO FOR US TO BE A PART OF THAT WAS
01:16:57 AMAZING. '96 WAS THE FIRST TIME WE WENT
01:17:00 TO EUROPE. >> THAT'S RIGHT.
01:17:02 AND MARK FINLEY WAS THE -- THE PREEFRP --
01:17:04 >> YES. >> -- FOR THAT OOVPS AND NOW
01:17:07 MARK FINLEY IS THE GENERAL CONFERENCE PRESIDENT OF
01:17:12 EVANGELISM. AND HE SENT SOMETHING TO US TOO
01:17:14 THANKING US FOR WHAT WE HAVE DONE THROUGH -- FOR HIM.
01:17:17 >> 32 YEARS AGO, THREE ANGELS BROADCASTING WAS A VISION, A
01:17:24 VISION IN THE MIND. IT WAS A DREAM OF WHAT GOD MIGHT
01:17:27 DO. A DREAM TO TAKE THE GOSPEL TO
01:17:32 NORTH AMERICA AND THEN ON TO THE WORLD.
01:17:35 JESUS SAID THIS GOSPEL, THE KINGDOM SHALL BE PREACHED IN ALL
01:17:39 OF THE WORLD AS A WITNESS TO ALL NATIONS, THEN THE END SHALL
01:17:43 COME. GOD IS USING A VARIETY OF MEANS
01:17:46 TO ACCOMPLISH THAT COMMISSION TO TAKE THE GOSPEL TO THE WORLD.
01:17:50 AND ONE OF THOSE MEANS THREE ANGELS BROADCASTING.
01:17:54 GOD HAS BLESSED THE MINISTRY FOR THE LAST 32 YEARS.
01:17:59 TENS OF THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE HAVE COME TO CHRIST, AND THEY HAVE
01:18:03 BECOME PART OF HIS LAST DAY MESSAGE.
01:18:06 THE FUTURE FOR THE PROCLAMATION OF GOD'S MESSAGE ON TELEVISION
01:18:13 IS STILL GREAT. I WANT TO THANK THREE ANGELS
01:18:19 BROADCASTING FOR THE IMPACT THEY ARE MAKING AROUND THE WORLD.
01:18:22 AND I WANT TO WISH GOD'S RICHEST BLESSINGS IN THIS VISION, NOT
01:18:28 YET FULFILLED TO TAKE THE GOSPEL TO EVERY NATION, KINDRED TONGUE
01:18:32 AND PEOPLE, THIS VISION TO TOUCH PEOPLE WITH THE THREE ANGELS
01:18:37 MESSAGE. THIS VISION TO MOVE AHEAD IN THE
01:18:41 UNREACHED AREAS OF THE WORLD, THE GREAT CITIES OF THE WORLD.
01:18:44 HOW ARE THEY GOING TO REACHED IF IT'S NOT FOR TELEVISION?
01:18:49 I THANK GOD FOR THREE ANGELS BROADCASTING, AND FOR EVERY
01:18:54 MINISTRY IN TELEVISION, RADIO, MEDIA, THAT GOD IS USING TO
01:18:58 FINISH HIS WORK. SO HAPPY 32ND ANNIVERSARY.
01:19:03 MAY YOUR MINISTRY INCREASE, EXPAND FOR THE GLORY OF THE
01:19:08 KINGDOM OF GOD. >> AMEN.
01:19:09 >> AMEN. THANK YOU PASTOR MARK.
01:19:12 WE APPRECIATE. MARK HAS LITERALLY PREACHED AND
01:19:19 THE WORLD, AND WHAT A TREMENDOUS GIFT.
01:19:21 BUT NOT ONLY A GIFT, YOU HAVE TO BE WILLING TO BE USED OF GOD.
01:19:26 AND HE TRAVELED TO POLAND, YOUR DAD USED TO TRAVEL WITH MARK AND
01:19:31 DO ALL OF THE HEALTH PROGRAMS, DR. THOMPSON.
01:19:36 AND THEN MARK WOULD DO THE EVANGELISM, AND IT HAS RESULTED
01:19:41 IN -- I'M SURE, HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF SOULS COMING TO
01:19:45 JESUS OVER THE YEARS. IT HAS BEEN GREAT WORKING WITH
01:19:49 PASTOR MARK ALL OF THOSE YEARS. >> AND IT'S GREAT TO HAVE HIM AS
01:19:56 A FRIEND OF THE MINISTRY. IN 1997 WE HAD ANOTHER NET.
01:20:01 I THINK WE HAVE A ROLL ON IT -pTOO. >> GOOD.
01:20:06 THIS IS WITH AMAZING FACTS. THE CHURCH DIDN'T DO ONE THAT
01:20:11 YEAR, SO WE SAID, HEY, WHY NOT DO IT RIGHT HERE.
01:20:17 AND DOUG BACHELOR CAME. AND THIS IS JUST BEHIND THE
01:20:21 AUDITORIUM. ME AND DOUG WITH THE GUITARS
01:20:23 THERE. I'M GLAD THERE WAS NO AUDIO ON
01:20:26 THAT ONE. [ LAUGHTER ]
01:20:28 >> AND WE WERE YOUNG ENOUGH THEN, I REMEMBER, THAT DOUG
01:20:32 COULD DO A BACKWARD FLIP -- >> AND YOU COULD WALK ON YOUR
01:20:35 HANDS. >> I WOULD WALK ON MY HANDS, AND
01:20:38 HE WOULD DO A BACK FLIP, AND HE WOULD SHOW WHAT HEALTHY LIVING
01:20:43 COULD DO FOR YOU. THAT ALWAYS HAD TO DO WITH YOUTH
01:20:47 TOO FOR SURE. 5 TO ALMOST 6,000 PEOPLE WERE
01:20:53 BAPTIZED THROUGH THIS SATELLITE SEMINAR THAT WE KNEW OF.
01:20:56 BECAUSE WE HAD HOME CHURCHES. THEY DID A GREAT JOB OF
01:20:59 LITERALLY GETTING STUDY GUIDES -- HAVE A HOME CHURCH.
01:21:07 INVITE YOUR FRIENDS. AND THIS IS 1997, AT THE END
01:21:12 ALMOST 6,000 PEOPLE WAS BAPTIZED IN THIS ADVENTIST CHURCH JUST
01:21:17 FROM THIS LITTLE EFFORT. THE POWER OF TELEVISION, RADIO,
01:21:21 IS JUST AMAZING. >> AND PASTOR BACHELOR IS
01:21:25 ANOTHER ONE THAT IS A REALLY GOOD FRIEND TO THIS MINISTRY.
01:21:28 >> ABSOLUTELY. >> AND HE SENT US HIS THAJS AS
01:21:32 WELL, DANNY. >> HELLO FRIENDS.
01:21:35 WE HERE AT AMAZING FACTS WANT TO EXTEND A SPECIAL CONGRATULATIONS
01:21:40 AND PRAISE THE LORD TO 3ABN ON YOUR 32-YEAR ANNIVERSARY.
01:21:44 IT HAS REALLY BEEN A WONDERFUL WAY TO WATCH THE WAY THE LORD
01:21:48 HAS OPENED DOORS AND BLESSED. AND WE HAVE HAD SUCH A WARM
01:21:52 FAMILY RELATIONSHIP FOR ABOUT 25 YEARS NOW.
01:21:56 I THINK ONE REASON THE LORD HAS BLESSED 3ABN SO MUCH, IS BECAUSE
01:22:00 THEY HAVE OPENED THEIR ARMS AND ALLOWED GOD TO USE ANY MINISTRY
01:22:04 AS A PLATFORM TO SHARE WHAT MANY MINISTRIES ARE DOING.
01:22:10 I THINK THAT'S WHY THE LORD HAS BLESSED AND EXPANDED THE
01:22:15 INFLUENCE OF 3ABN. GREETINGS TO ALL OF OUR
01:22:18 FRIENDSES THERE. LORD BLESS YOUR DANNY, AND THE
01:22:21 TEAM AND WHENEVER WE GET TOGETHER, IT'S LIKE WORKING WITH
01:22:25 FAMILY. WE LOOK FORWARD TO WORKING
01:22:28 TOGETHER AGAIN. THE LORD BLESS YOU, AND ONCE
01:22:31 AGAIN, PRAISE GOD AND CONGRATULATIONS.
01:22:34 >> THANK YOU, PASTOR DOUG. MANY OF YOU HAVE PROBABLY SEEN
01:22:38 HIS BOOK. THE RICHEST CAVEMAN.
01:22:41 THE GUY ACTUALLY LIVED IN A CAVE IN CALIFORNIA UP IN THE
01:22:46 MOUNTAINS FOR A WHILE. AND USED TO COME DOWN IN THE
01:22:49 STREETS TO EAT OUT OF THE GARBAGE CAN WITHOUT ANY CLOTHES
01:22:54 ON. AND GOT IN TROUBLE FROM TIME TO
01:22:56 TIME. AND YOU FIND OUT HIS DAD WAS
01:22:58 WORTH HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS OF DOLLARS, AND HIS MOTHER, BUT HE
01:23:04 WAS A REBELLIOUS KID, AND SAID I DON'T NEED THE MONEY.
01:23:09 I DON'T WAN ANYTHING. ABOUT EVERY YEAR THEY KICKED HIM
01:23:14 OUT OF WHATEVER SCHOOL HE WENT TO.
01:23:17 HE HAD THE LONG HAIR. NOW HE DOESN'T HAVE TO WORRY
01:23:21 ABOUT LONG HAIR. BUT SOMEBODY LEFT -- WAS IT A
01:23:26 HALF OF BIBLE -- A BIBLE IN THE CAVE.
01:23:28 AND HE BEGAN TO READ IT, AND CAME TO JESUS.
01:23:32 AND IF I LOOK AT ALL OF THE PEOPLE, LETTERS WE HAVE GOTTEN
01:23:36 FOR 25 TO 30 YEARS, I WOULD SAY DOUG BACHELOR'S NAME HAS BEEN ON
01:23:44 AS MANY OF ANY OF THESE PEOPLE. I WAS WATCHING PASTOR BACHELOR,
01:23:52 AND I JOINED THE CHURCH AND CAME TO JESUS.
01:23:58 WE'LL NEED ALL OF THE TIME TO DISCUSS HOW GOOD GOD WAS TO ALL
01:24:02 OF US TO -- TO BRING US FROM HERE TO TAKE US TO LIVE FOREVER
01:24:06 WITH HIM. >> IF ANY OF YOU PARENTS ARE
01:24:09 DISCOURAGED BECAUSE YOU HAVE WAYWARD CHILDREN, LOOK WHAT GOD
01:24:13 HAS DONE THROUGH DOUG BACHELOR, WHO LIVED IN A CAVE.
01:24:17 YOU KNOW, WE WERE TALKING ABOUT HOW 3ABN HAS IMPACTED THE WORLD
01:24:21 WITH EVANGELISM. WE WENT FROM PASTOR CARTER IN
01:24:27 RUSSIA, TO '96, THEN SATELLITE SEMINAR IN '97, AND NOW IN 1998,
01:24:37 DWIGHT NELSON. >> THAT'S RIGHT.
01:24:39 3ABN WENT THERE, AND WE SENT IT ALL OVER EUROPE AND AMERICA AS
01:24:42 WELL. >> ALL OVER THE WORLD.
01:24:45 WE HAVE THESE EVANGELISTS THAT WOULD BE PREACHING IN A CHURCH,
01:24:50 AND THAT'S THE ONLY AUDIENCE THEY WOULD HAVE.
01:24:53 BUT WITH THE CAMERAS ROLLING, IT CAN GO ALL OVE THE WORLD.
01:24:59 LET'S LOOK AT THIS ROLL FROM DWIGHT NELSN.
01:25:04 >> THIS IS CALLED THE NEXT MILLENNIUM.
01:25:10 DWIGHT WAS AT THE UNIVERSITY -- AT ANDREWS
01:25:13 UNIVERSITY THERE. THE PASTOR PIONEER MEMORIAL.
01:25:18 I THINK HE HAS BEEN THERE 20-SOME-ODD YEARS.
01:25:22 PEOPLE LOVE HIM THERE. HE HAS ALWAYS LITERALLY GIVEN
01:25:27 THE GOSPEL THERE AND ALL OVER THE WORLD.
01:25:29 WHEN WE STARTED NO ONE HAD TELEVISION.
01:25:32 NOW TO LOOK AT ALL OF THESE UNIVERSITIES AND COLLEGES, AND
01:25:37 EVEN COD -- ACADEMIES, AND KIDS USING THEIR SMARTPHONES.
01:25:50 THIS ALSO REACHES LITERALLY THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE IN AMERICA
01:25:53 AND EUROPE. WE WERE STILL JUST GOING TO
01:25:55 AMERICA AND EUROPE AT THIS TIME. BUT JOINED THE CHURCH THROUGH
01:26:00 PASTOR DWIGHT NELSON. >> THEN, DANNY, IN 1999, WE
01:26:06 CHANGED GEARS A BIT. THIS ONE, OF COURSE WASN'T IN
01:26:14 ENGLISH, WAS IT JOHNNY THIS WAS IN SPANISH.
01:26:17 SO WE THANK GOD THAT WE WERE EXPANDING TO OUR
01:26:21 SPANISH-SPEAKING FAMILY HERE AT 3ABN.
01:26:23 LET'S LOOK AT THAT ROLL. >> WOW, LOOK AT THE CROWD.
01:26:31 I WAS IN BRAZIL WITH HIM BACK AS FAR AS 1990.
01:26:36 TREMENDOUS CROWDS. HE LIKE SOME OF THE OTHERS JUST
01:26:39 HAS A GIFT THAT GOD HAS GIVEN HIM.
01:26:41 AND HE IS ANOTHER ONE THAT LITERALLY WHEN WE TALK ABOUT
01:26:44 HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE COMING TO THE LORD THROUGH HIS
01:26:47 MINISTRY OVER THE LAST 30, 40 YEARS, JOHNNY, I THINK THAT'S NO
01:26:53 EXAGGERATION, PEOPLE AROUND THE WORLD, SPANISH SPEAKING AND
01:26:56 ENGLISH SPEAKING AROUND THE WORLD, HE IS AN INCREDIBLE
01:27:02 EVANGELIST. THESE ARE THE KIND OF FOLK WE
01:27:04 NEED TO BE LIFLTING UP IN PRAYER ALL OF THE TIME.
01:27:07 AND IT SEEMS LIKE HE NEVER AGES EITHER.
01:27:10 >> THAT'S TRUE. >> HE TAKES THE STRENGTH THAT
01:27:16 GOD GIVES HIM TO CONTINUE TO MINISTER.
01:27:22 >> AND THEN IN THE YEAR 2000, IT WAS ENTITLED, THE TIME OF THE
01:27:29 END. >> THIS IS IN CHICAGO, I
01:27:31 BELIEVE. SOME OF YOU WERE THERE.
01:27:33 YOU REMEMBER IT, AND ONCE AGAIN, I SAY THIS ABOUT ALL OF THEM,
01:27:37 BUT THESE GUYS LITERALLY TRAVEL AROUND THE WORLD.
01:27:40 I HAVE SEEN HIM DOWN IN SYDNEY OPERA HOUSE AND HAVE IT FULL
01:27:45 EVERY NIGHT.-LOOK AT THESE CROWDS OF FOLK. THIS IS 3ABN, AND OF COURSE THE
01:27:53 MINISTRY TOGETHER IN THE CHICAGO AREA.
01:27:59 REALLY, EVANGELISM, EVANGELISM, EVANGELISM, AM I RIGHT?
01:28:04 >> IT'S TRUE. >> THAT'S WHAT WE HAVE TO
01:28:07 CONTINUE TO CONCENTRATE ON. ELDER COX HAS BEEN DOING THIS,
01:28:11 FOR, I'M GOING TO SAY 50 YEARS OR SO, AND HE CONTINUES TO BE A
01:28:15 GREAT WITNESS TO THE LORD, AND WHAT A GRET INFLUENCE HE HAS
01:28:19 HAD ON MY LIFE, BECAUSE I SEE A MAN WHO BELIEVES WHAT HE
01:28:23 TEACHES, AND HE LIVES A GREAT CHRISTIAN EXAMPLE.
01:28:27 VERY KIND, VERY HUMBLE, AND WILLING TO TALK, PRAY WITH ME
01:28:31 ANY TIME I HAVE EVER ASKED HIM TO, HE HAS BEEN THERE FOR ME.
01:28:36 >> WE LOVE PASTOR COX. SOMETHING ABOUT THESE CRUSADES
01:28:39 THAT WE TAPE, WE DON'T JUST TAPE THEM AND AIR THEM ONE TIME, DO
01:28:43 WE? WE AIR THEM OVER AND OVER AND
01:28:46 OVER. PEOPLE CAN GET BORN AGAIN, COME
01:28:49 TO THE LORD JESUS CHRIST, AND THEIR LIVES TOTALLY BE CHANGED
01:28:53 ON A RERUN. [ LAUGHTER ]
01:28:54 >> IT HAPPENS ALL OF THE TIME. THANK GOD FOR RERUNS.
01:28:59 SO EACH ONE OF THESE CRUSADES THAT WE AIRED ALL OVER THE
01:29:04 WORLD, THEN WE AIRED THEM AGAIN AND AGAIN, AND THE RESULTS JUST
01:29:09 KEPT MULTIPLYING. AND THEN DAVID CAME ON THE
01:29:17 SCENE. HE WAS SO YOUNG.
01:29:19 >> YEAH, HE WAS IN DISCOVERY PROPHECY.
01:29:23 I THINK IT WAS AROUND 2001, OR WHAT HAVE YOU.
01:29:28 HE WAS A SKATEBOARDER -- I THINK A PUNK ROCKER WAS WHAT HE SAID.
01:29:34 BUT HE BECAME A VEGETARIAN AND WENT TO A VEGETARIAN RESTAURANT,
01:29:41 AND ENDED UP FINDING OUT ABOUT SEVENTH-DAY ADVENTIST, AND ABOUT
01:29:48 GOD, AND THIS MAN IN HIS 20S STARTED PREACHING.
01:29:52 DIDN'T GO TO THE CEMETERY -- SEMINARY --
01:29:54 >> SEMINARY. >> DIDN'T GO TO THE CEMETERY TO
01:29:59 LEARN. HE IS STILL PREACHING, TRAVELS
01:30:02 AROUND THE WORLD, AND HAS BEEN ON 3ABN MANY, MANY TIMES.
01:30:06 >> UH-HUH. >> HE WAS AN ADVENTIST FIVE OR
01:30:09 SIX YEARS WHEN I HEARD HIM PREACH.
01:30:11 AND I SAID I THINK HE KNOWS A LOT MORE ABOUT THE BIBLE THAN I
01:30:16 DO. AND HE JUST HAS AN INCREDIBLE
01:30:18 BRAIN, AND -- AND HE KNOWS HOW TO -- TO BRING IT IN, AND THEN
01:30:22 GET IT OUT WHERE YOU CAN UNDERSTAND IT.
01:30:24 THANK YOU PASTOR DAVID FOR WHAT YOU HAVE BEEN DOING FOR THE
01:30:29 CAUSE OF GOD ALL OF THESE YEARS. >> HE IS ANOTHER ONE WE GET THE
01:30:35 LETTERS AND EMAILS OF WHAT A BLESSING HE HAS BEEN TO SO MANY
01:30:41 PEOPLE. WE CAN TAKE HIS PROGRAMS OFF,
01:30:44 AND THERE WILL BE PEOPLE CALLING AND SAYING PUT HIM BACK ON,
01:30:48 3ABN. THEY LOVE HIM SO MUCH.
01:30:49 >> YEAH. >> AND WE HAD WORLD COVERAGE IN
01:30:52 2000. AND LET'S SEE THE ROLL ON THAT.
01:30:55 ♪ >> THIS IS ACTUALLY WHERE WE'RE
01:31:04 BUILDING THE UP-LINK THAT TAKES IT TO EUROPE.
01:31:08 SO WE HAD OUR BIG 30-FOOT DISH. BUT THERE'S THE McNEILUS TRUCK,
01:31:14 AND THEY MADE A DEAL WITH THE LOCAL CONCRETE COMPANY TO SUPPLY
01:31:18 ALL OF THE CONCRETE AND -- FOR US AT NO COST, SO THERE'S OUR
01:31:23 DISH THAT DID AMERICA. AND THEN THIS WAS ACTUALLY TOOK
01:31:26 US TO EUROPE AND EVENTUALLY AROUND THE WORLD, BECAUSE MOSES
01:31:31 PRIMO HAD COME ON THE SCENE SOMETIME BEFORE THIS, SO WE'LL
01:31:35 TALK A LITTLE BIT MORE ABOUT THAT LATER, BUT HERE AROUND 2000
01:31:46 WAS WHEN WE WERE ABLE TO TAKE THE MESSAGE TO THE ENTIRE WORLD.
01:31:50 SOME OF THOSE FOLKS ARE NOW RESTING IN JESUS.
01:31:54 LEONARD, BILL, CHARLIE CLARK, THERE -- OH, AND TROY, A NUMBER
01:32:01 OF THOSE FOLKS THAT NOW ARE RESTING IN JESUS.
01:32:05 BUT YOU KNOW WHAT, THE HOPE THAT THEY HAVE IS LIVE --
01:32:09 >> THAT'S RIGHT. >> -- AND VERY SOON THE NEXT
01:32:13 THING THEY WILL KNOW, LITERALLY IS THE SECOND COMING OF THE LORD
01:32:17 JESUS CHRIST. BUT ALL OF THESE PEOPLE INVESTED
01:32:20 THEIR TIME, TALLENS, AND FINANCES FOR MANY, MANY YEARS.
01:32:26 WE KEEP SAYING THAT TO YOU, WE COULDN'T DO ANY OF THIS WITHOUT
01:32:30 YOU. SO THANK YOU FOR YOUR LOVE,
01:32:32 PRAYERS, AND FINANCIAL SUPPORT. RIGHT NOW WE ACTUALLY OWE MONEY.
01:32:38 WE TRY NOT TO DO THAT, BUT WHEN WE LOOK AT IT FROM A BUSINESS
01:32:43 STANDPOINT THINGS DOESN'T LOOK TOO BRIGHT FOR 3ABN.
01:32:47 BUT I TOLD THE AUDITORS THE OTHER DAY, I'M GOING TO BE
01:32:51 NOTHING BUT POSITIVE. BECAUSE AS LONG AS WE KEEP THE
01:32:55 MESSAGE THAT GOD HAS TOLD US TO GIVE TO THE WORLD, GUESS WHAT IS
01:32:58 GOING TO HAPPEN? HE IS GOING TO CONTINUE TO
01:33:02 SUPPLY EVERY NEED. SO 2,000 WAS THE FIRST TIME WE
01:33:05 PUT UP THE EUROPEAN DISH -- OR THE DISH THAT TOOK US TO EUROPE,
01:33:10 THEN LATER WE BEGAN TO BROADCAST AROUND THE WORLD, AND THAT WAS
01:33:14 AT TORONTO, I THINK, WASN'T IT, MOSES IN THE YEAR 2000.
01:33:22 >> PAPUA NEW GUINEA IN 2000. LET'S SEE THAT ROLL.
01:33:26 >> HERE IS THE GOVERNOR GENERAL. WE CALL HIM PRESIDENT.
01:33:31 I WAS ABLE TO GREET HIM THERE. HE BROUGHT US TO THE PALACE, AND
01:33:36 THEY MADE US A VEGETARIAN MEAL. I WISH I COULD GET SOME OF THIS
01:33:42 WEIGHT AGAIN. [ LAUGHTER ]
01:33:43 >> WHO IS THAT THIN GUY? OH, WE HAVE A LICENSE,
01:33:48 LITERALLY. THERE IS THE AMBASSADOR WHO WAS
01:33:51 VERY INSTRUMENTAL. HE WAS IS THE AMBASSADOR FROM
01:33:56 THE PHILIPPINES TO NEW GUINEA. THIS IS 1999, I BELIEVE.
01:34:01 AND THANKS TO MOSES PRIMO A LOT OF HARD WORK, AND THE
01:34:04 AMBASSADOR, THAT WE HAVE A LICENSE.
01:34:06 AND WE'RE STILL BROOD COSTING, AND LITERALLY THOUSANDS AND
01:34:09 THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE ARE COMING TO CHURCHES ALL ACROSS NEW
01:34:16 GUINEA, I'M TOLD BY THE AMBASSADOR BECAUSE OF 3ABN BEING
01:34:22 THERE.-SO WE APPRECIATE THE GOVERNOR GENERAL WHO MADE THIS POSSIBLE
01:34:26 TOO. SO THIS IS OUR ACTUAL OPERATING
01:34:29 LICENSE, AND HE CAME TO AMERICA A LITTLE LATER, AND I
01:34:33 INTERVIEWED HIM HERE. I THINK HE IS ON JUST BRIEFLY.
01:34:37 MAYBE YOU COULD SHARE THIS WHAT THAT IS?
01:34:41 >> I HAD LEARNED ABOUT 3ABN FROM MY COUNTRY.
01:34:46 AND I HAVE ALWAYS WANTED TO COME HERE AND SEE THE PLACE FOR
01:34:50 MYSELF, AND SEE HOW YOU TELEVISE THE WORD OF GOD THROUGHOUT THE
01:34:56 WORLD. AND NOW THAT THE LORD HAS MADE
01:34:58 IT POSSIBLE FOR ME TO TRAVEL TO AMERICA.
01:35:02 AND IT IS MY FIRST TIME TO COME TO THE UNITED STATES WITH MY
01:35:05 WIFE PARTICULARLY TO SEE THE 3ABN STATION.
01:35:12 THE DEPARTMENT THERE IN PAPUA NEW GUINEA, THEY ASKED ME TO
01:35:17 BELIEVE THIS TO YOU. THIS IS A CERTIFICATE OF
01:35:20 REGISTRATION OF OVERSEAS COMPANY, AND THIS IS ABOUT THE
01:35:26 THREE ANGELS BROADCASTING NETWORK, OFFICIALLY IN PAPUA NEW
01:35:34 GUINEA. >> PRAISE THE LORD.
01:35:37 >> THAT WAS A GREAT PRAISE THE LORD.
01:35:39 >> IT WAS A MIRACLE. IT WAS BETWEEN US AND
01:35:42 ANOTHER -- THE WORLD'S LARGEST CHRISTIAN NETWORK WHO WAS TO GET
01:35:45 THIS LICENSE, AND IT ENDED UP THE LORDED UP THE DOORS, AND IT
01:35:51 ENDED UP GOING US TO, AS WELL AS IN THE PHILIPPINES, WE'LL HEAR
01:35:56 LATER ON, TO BE ABLE TO REACH 24 MILLION POTENTIAL BELIEVERS.
01:36:08 >> IN 2001 WE WENT TO INDIA. AND I WAS PART OF IT THEN.
01:36:13 I REMEMBER THE EXCITEMENT OF INDIA.
01:36:17 >> ABSOLUTELY. LET'S SHOW THIS.
01:36:19 SEEING IS BELIEVING. THEY WOULD HAVE 200 TRUCKS A
01:36:24 NIGHT. THEY WERE RENTED.
01:36:25 WE WERE WORKING THERE. THEY WOULD HAVE 120 PEOPLE IN
01:36:29 THE BACK OF THE TRUCK. LOOK AT THE CROWD.
01:36:33 EACH NIGHT, 40,000, MAYBE 50,000, AND THESE PEOPLE WERE
01:36:37 SITTING -- THIS IS NOT IN SEATS, THIS IS OUTSIDE.
01:36:40 THEY ARE SITTING ON THE GROUND. LOOK AT THIS, AS FAR AS YOU CAN
01:36:44 SEE TO THE BACK NIGHT AFTER NIGHT AFTER NIGHT.

01:36:58 WROUGHT IRON STUFF. AND HE PREACHED, AND MARK
01:37:01 FINLEY, HE TOOK SOME OF MARK'S NOTES.
01:37:06 AND IT WAS AMAZING NIGHT AFTER NIGHT.
01:37:10 AND THESE PEOPLE WOULD LITERALLY RUSH YOU.
01:37:15 THERE IS BIG DAVID EVERETT. HE IS A BIG BOY.
01:37:19 IT WAS GOOD TO HAVE HIM WITH ME IN INDIA.
01:37:23 WATCH THE FOLK. AS SOON AS THE MEETINGS WAS
01:37:26 OVER, THE PEOPLE WOULD RUSH YOU AND DEMAND THAT YOU PRAY FOR
01:37:30 THEM. AND WHAT A BLESSING THAT IS.
01:37:37 I WOULD BE PRAYING FOR SOMEBODY, AND I WOULD FEEL MY HAND MOVE
01:37:43 AWAY AND IT WOULD BE ON ANOTHER. AND THEN THEY WOULD SAY NO, IT'S
01:37:47 MY TURN. THEY WANTED PRAYER, AND THEY
01:37:50 WERE INTRODUCED TO JESUS FOR THE FIRST TIME, AND LITERALLY
01:37:55 THOUSANDS AND THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE.
01:37:57 AND PEOPLE LIKE THE FARLEYS, BRUCE WHO IS NOW A CHAIRMAN OF
01:38:02 OUR BOARD. THEY ARE FAMILY.
01:38:05 THEY SAW THIS VIDEO, AND THEY SAID WE WANT TO SUPPORT, AND

01:38:47 WE WERE MISSIONARIES IN INDIA, 19 YEARS, AND WE ONLY HAD 23

01:44:38 IN THE FRONT YOU'LL FIND THE HANDWRITING OF FD NICKEL, AND
01:44:50 OTHERS, AND MYSELF. I LOVE THOSE THINGS THAT HAVE AN
01:44:54 IMPACT OVER TIME. JESUS ACTUALLY TELLS A STORY
01:44:59 ABOUT IMPACT OVER TIME EVEN WHEN WE'RE NOT PAYING PARTICULAR
01:45:04 ATTENTION. MARK 4.
01:45:06 THE KINGDOM OF GOD AS IF THE MAN SHOULD SCATTER SEED ON THE
01:45:12 GROUND, AND SHOULD SLEEP AND RISE EVERY DAY.
01:45:14 AND THE EARTH PRODUCES OF IT'S A, FIRST THE BLADE, THEN THE
01:45:20 EAR, AND THEN THE FULL BLADE AND THE GRIER.
01:45:23 AND THEN HE PUTS IN THE SICKLE BECAUSE THE HARVEST HAS COME.
01:45:29 JESUS REMIND US THAT SOMETIMES THE BACKGROUND IN OUR LIFE IS
01:45:38 THE MOST POWERFUL. 3ABN HAS HAD THAT KIND OF
01:45:43 IMPACT. I WATCHED AS MY OWN PARENTS -pFOUND THE ATTRACTION OF
01:45:49 FAITH-BUILDING TELEVISION STATION THAT CONTINUED TO HELP
01:45:53 THEM GROW WELL INTO THEIR OLDER YEARS.
01:45:55 I WATCHED THE IMPACT 3ABN HAS HAD IN COMMUNITIES WHERE I
01:46:01 PASTORED, WHERE WHEN WE DID EVANGELISM, SUDDENLY THERE ARE
01:46:07 SO MANY MORE PEOPLE READY TO SIDE WITH JESUS.
01:46:13 IN THAT IMPACT IS ONE WE NEED TO CELEBRATE, HOW GOD USES THIS
01:46:19 PERSISTENCE OF THIS MINISTRY TO BRING PEOPLE TO THE TRUTH.
01:46:22 I WANT TO CONGRATULATE THE LEADERS OF 3ABN FOR 32 YEARS OF
01:46:29 POWERFUL WITNESS, EVEN WHEN WE WEREN'T ALWAYS CONSCIOUS OF WHAT
01:46:32 WAS HAPPENING, GOD WAS AT WORK. THANK YOU FOR WHAT YOU ARE DOING

01:50:41 WE HAD A VERY INTERESTING -- IT WAS ACTUALLY FUNNY, LATER,
01:50:46 EXPERIENCE. SHE ASKED THE AMBASSADOR AND ME
01:50:49 TO ACCOMPANY HER INSTEAD OF COMING TO THE BACK THROUGH A
01:50:54 SECURITY WANTED HER, SHE DECIDED WE ALL WOULD COME FROM THE FRONT
01:51:00 OPENING THE GYM, AND WALK DOWN AMONG THE PEOPLE.
01:51:03 AND SO -- AND THERE'S THOUSANDS, PROBABLY 9 OR 10,000 INSIDE,
01:51:09 SEVERAL THOUSAND OUTSIDE. SO WE'RE WALKING, RIGHT?
01:51:12 AND I'M STANDING CLOSE T HER. WELL, I NOTICE SOMEBODY COMING
01:51:15 OVER TO THE SIDE, GETTING TOO CLOSE.
01:51:19 FOR SOME REASON I BEGIN TO THINK I'M THE SECURITY GUY.
01:51:22 SO I DON'T LET HIM GET CLOSE. I SAY THIS IS DANGEROUS.
01:51:25 THEY DIDN'T REALLY WANT TO DO IT.
01:51:27 THERE'S NO SECURITY. SO HE GENTLY IS PUSHING ME TO
01:51:31 THE SIDE -- SORRY, MOLLIE, AND I'M GENTLY PUSHING HIM OUT OF
01:51:36 THE WAY, AND WE'RE NOT LOOKING AT EACH OTHER VERY MUCH.
01:51:39 BUT HE IS DETERMINED TO GET NEXT TO HER, AND I SAID NO, I DON'T
01:51:44 KNOW WHO THIS GUY IS. I'M PUSHING HIM.
01:51:46 AND FINALLY I LOOK AT HIM, AND I SEE THIS THING IN HIS EAR.
01:51:53 HE IS HER SECURITY, AND I'M MOVING HIM OUT OF THE WAY -- AND
01:51:57 HE'S GENTLY -- BECAUSE I'M A GUEST, BUT HE WANTS TO BE UP
01:52:01 THERE BY HER TO PROTECT THE BULLET IF I NEED BE.
01:52:05 SO I SAID I HAVE LEARNED MY LESSON.
01:52:08 WHO IS GOT A MICROPHONE. YVONNE WHAT IS GOING THROUGH
01:52:12 YOUR MIND? >> YOU KNOW, AS I WAS WATCHING
01:52:14 THIS WHOLE THING, IT IS JUST SO OBVIOUS THAT GOD HAS HAD HIS
01:52:19 HAND ON THIS MINISTRY FROM THE INCEPTION OF IT WHEN HE GAVE YOU
01:52:23 THAT IDEA, DANNY TO -- TO NOW. I MEAN GOD IS JUST LEADING AND
01:52:29 GUIDING, AND SO MANY SOULS HAVE BEEN WON AS A RESULT OF THIS
01:52:35 MINISTRY. PRAISE GOD.
01:52:37 CAN'T WAIT TO MEET THE SOULS IN HEAVEN THAT HAVE BEEN ONE TO
01:52:40 THIS MINISTRY. >> BROTHER JOHN?
01:52:42 >> YOU CAN SEE THIS IS NOT A COINCIDENCE NOR IS IT A DREA
01:52:46 THAT WAS BORN IN THE MIND OF A MAN.
01:52:48 BUT A VISION BORN IN THE MIND OF GOD.
01:52:51 AND HE LOOKED FOR SOMEBODY WHO WAS WILLING -- AND DANNY, IF I
01:52:57 MAY SAY -- YOU ARE WILLING. THE BIBLE SAYS IF THERE IS FIRST
01:53:01 A WILLING MIND. AND I PRAISE THE LORD, KEEP THAT
01:53:09 WILLING MIND. >> BROTHER KENNY, WHAT IS GOING
01:53:11 THROUGH YOUR MIND? >> THE EXCITEMENT HERE.
01:53:14 I HAVE HAD THOSE SPIRITUAL GOOSE BUMPS JUMPING ALL OVER MY NECK
01:53:18 AND BODY TO SEE WHAT GOD HAS BEEN DOING ALL OF THESE YEARS,
01:53:22 AND THEN IT JUST KEEPS COMING OVER AND OVER IN MY MIND, GOD IS
01:53:26 NOT DONE. THERE IS ORE TO COME.
01:53:28 IT IS JUST GOING TO ASTOUND THE PEOPLE.
01:53:32 WE NEED TO HANG IN THERE AND GET TIGHT WITH JESUS.
01:53:36 MANY MORE SOULS ARE GOING TO BE WON TO THE KINGDOM.
01:53:39 >> AND C.A. MURRAY AND TAMMY? >> I THINK IT IS MORE THAN
01:53:43 ANYTHING, HUMBLING TO KNOW THAT YOU CAN BE EVEN A SMALL PART OF
01:53:47 A MOVE OF GOD. IN THE WORLD GOD CHOSE TO PUT
01:53:52 THIS PLACE HERE AT THIS TIME, AND THEN TO CALL THIS WONDERFUL
01:53:56 GROUP OF PEOPLE. IT IS HUMBLING TO KNOW THAT GOD
01:53:59 CHOSE TO USE US TO WORK WITH HIM IN THE GREATEST GIFT EVER GIVEN
01:54:04 TO MAN KIND AND THAT'S THE GIFT OF SALVATION, AND WE ARE PART OF
01:54:09 THAT. >> AMEN.
01:54:10 >> TAMMY? >> I JUST WANTED TO MENTION,
01:54:13 BECAUSE IT'S A PART OF THE 3ABN HISTORY, AND PART OF THE HISTORY
01:54:17 OF THE CHURCH. I THINK THAT KENNY WAS THE FIRST
01:54:23 TO EVER DO A REVELATION SEMINAR. >> YEAH, ABSOLUTELY ON THE AIR.
01:54:32 ABSOLUTELY. THERE ARE A LOT OF FIRSTS THERE.
01:54:34 A LOT OF THE PIONEERING ISN'T ALWAYS THAT EASY, BUT THE LORD
01:54:38 OPENS UP THOSE DOORS. THE BLESSING IS ON THE GO.
01:54:41 WE HAVE SAID THAT OVER AND OVER AND OVER AGAIN.
01:54:44 MELODY, I DON'T THINK I'LL GIVE YOU A MIC UNLESS YOU WANT ONE.
01:54:49 SHE WILL SING TO THE WORLD -- WE SHOULD HAVE HER SING.
01:54:54 WE WOULD HAVE ET PLAYING OVER HERE THE NEXT PROGRAM.
01:54:57 WE DECIDED LET'S DON'T GET IN A HURRY, WE'RE CELEBRATING 32
01:55:04 YEARS. AND MAYBE THREE YEARS OR SO MORE
01:55:06 BEFORE WE HAVE ANOTHER -pANNIVERSARY. SO WHY DON'T WE GET TOGETHER AND
01:55:11 JUST SHOW WHAT GOD HAS DONE IN SPITE OF ALL OF US, BUT THANK
01:55:15 YOU FOR ALL OF YOU. MOSES PRIMO WHAT IS ON YOUR MIND
01:55:18 RIGHT NOW? FIRST OF ALL THANK YOU.
01:55:22 BECAUSE OF YOU, WE'RE GOING AROUND THE WORLD.
01:55:26 >> WELL, IT'S AMAZING LIKE PASTOR SAID BEFORE HOW -- WHEN
01:55:31 WE PUT OURSELVES AND MAKE AVAILABLE WHAT GOD CAN DO, IT'S
01:55:34 JUST AMAZING. IT'S A PRIVILEGE TO BE HERE.
01:55:37 IT'S A BLESSING TO BE HERE, AND TO BE PART OF THIS END MESSAGE
01:55:41 OF REACHING SOULS FOR GOD'S KINGDOM.
01:55:45 >> MAIN. OKAY.

01:55:49 PROGRAM THIS EVENING. WE HAVE MAYBE TWO MORE HOURS OF
01:55:53 MIRACLES THAT GOD HAS PERFORMED AND CONTINUES TO PERFORM.
