00:00:09.04\00:00:11.21
Welcome to 3ABN's
Virtual Homecoming Camp Meeting.
00:00:11.24\00:00:15.11
Okay.
00:00:15.14\00:00:16.95
We want to first
of all say thank you
00:00:16.98\00:00:18.95
for and Rise for being
here, and part of the 3ABN team
00:00:18.98\00:00:22.82
and for the encouraging messages
00:00:22.85\00:00:25.02
that you have given
us have been incredible.
00:00:25.05\00:00:26.92
Amen.
00:00:26.96\00:00:28.29
And it's our hope and prayer
and all the other folk too
00:00:28.32\00:00:30.39
in the meetings...
00:00:30.43\00:00:31.76
Thanks for having
us. The other speakers.
00:00:31.79\00:00:33.13
Well, you're part of
the family, you know,
00:00:33.16\00:00:34.50
you're part of the family so...
00:00:34.53\00:00:35.86
We feel like that. Very
glad that you all are here.
00:00:35.90\00:00:37.43
And so those of you at
home, thank you for allowing us
00:00:37.47\00:00:40.47
to come into your home as
you do each and every day.
00:00:40.50\00:00:42.40
And also thank you for,
we always like to say this,
00:00:42.44\00:00:44.97
thank you for your love,
00:00:45.01\00:00:46.34
your prayers and
financial support at 3ABN.
00:00:46.37\00:00:48.88
Here's some of our team.
00:00:48.91\00:00:50.25
This is not all of us,
00:00:50.28\00:00:51.61
but is some of our
team, and leadership.
00:00:51.65\00:00:53.11
So we'd like to come out
we call this an afterglow.
00:00:53.15\00:00:55.95
And so we just kind of come out
00:00:55.98\00:00:57.69
and a few people can just
whatever is on their hearts
00:00:57.72\00:01:00.69
and Tim's usually
I hope he's at piano,
00:01:00.72\00:01:02.52
Oh, there, he's over
there, we may end up singing
00:01:02.56\00:01:04.96
a little chorus or
something together.
00:01:04.99\00:01:06.49
But Greg and
Jill, thank you so much
00:01:06.53\00:01:09.76
for what you do
for the cause of God
00:01:09.80\00:01:11.37
and leading out in this ministry
00:01:11.40\00:01:13.30
that God has ordained
and He ordained you guys
00:01:13.34\00:01:15.54
to be here for
such an hour as this.
00:01:15.57\00:01:17.84
And thank you so much
and we're praying for you.
00:01:17.87\00:01:19.77
And I'd like for all of our folk
00:01:19.81\00:01:21.18
to really put Greg
00:01:21.21\00:01:22.74
and Jill way up
there on your prayer list
00:01:22.78\00:01:24.41
because
tremendous responsibilities.
00:01:24.45\00:01:26.75
I noticed I feel a lot less
responsibility in my shoulders,
00:01:26.78\00:01:30.32
a lot less weight
in the last few years.
00:01:30.35\00:01:32.42
So Mr. Danny, you
said you've never lost
00:01:32.45\00:01:34.19
any sleep thinking about 3ABN
right being worried about it.
00:01:34.22\00:01:36.83
Well, I don't
know if this makes,
00:01:36.86\00:01:38.19
any way I woke up
this morning at 1:58 AM.
00:01:38.23\00:01:41.73
Yes, thinking about 3ABN.
00:01:41.76\00:01:44.10
Maybe well, good ideas
come sometimes, you know, but...
00:01:44.13\00:01:47.87
I have a prayer.
00:01:47.90\00:01:49.24
Yeah, during
those times, you know,
00:01:49.27\00:01:50.61
just lift up
the Ministry of 3ABN
00:01:50.64\00:01:51.97
and I was
thinking about the times
00:01:52.01\00:01:53.34
that we live in.
00:01:53.38\00:01:54.71
We're not guaranteed tomorrow.
00:01:54.74\00:01:56.08
We have today and
what an incredible
00:01:56.11\00:01:57.45
privilege all of us had, have.
00:01:57.48\00:01:58.88
I'm thinking about the
team that we have here.
00:01:58.91\00:02:00.92
You at home are
just a part of the team,
00:02:00.95\00:02:02.75
part of the family.
00:02:02.78\00:02:04.12
What an incredible
opportunity we have.
00:02:04.15\00:02:05.49
And it's a privilege to be here,
00:02:05.52\00:02:06.86
in this time in earth's history.
00:02:06.89\00:02:08.22
Thank you, Rise.
00:02:08.26\00:02:09.59
We don't want to put you on
the spot, but I guess we will.
00:02:09.62\00:02:10.96
You are going to do it anyway.
00:02:10.99\00:02:12.33
Yeah, we're
going to do it anyway.
00:02:12.36\00:02:13.70
And maybe just tell us
what you're feeling right now
00:02:13.73\00:02:15.80
and maybe give a
word of encouragement
00:02:15.83\00:02:17.23
to the folk at home.
00:02:17.27\00:02:18.60
I honestly have been so
blessed by this camp meeting.
00:02:18.63\00:02:22.04
I resonate so
much with the music,
00:02:22.07\00:02:23.87
prone to
wander, Lord, I feel it.
00:02:23.91\00:02:25.51
And yet God is my refuge.
00:02:25.54\00:02:27.01
And underneath there
His everlasting arms.
00:02:27.04\00:02:28.98
And this is my reason to live.
00:02:29.01\00:02:31.05
And it's such a good reason.
00:02:31.08\00:02:32.41
And I have these
songs and these words,
00:02:32.45\00:02:34.48
just floating through my
brain, and I'm just on a high.
00:02:34.52\00:02:37.15
Just really
blessed I've been here.
00:02:37.19\00:02:38.72
All right. Praise the Lord.
00:02:38.75\00:02:40.16
Francine and
Jason, you got your mikes.
00:02:40.19\00:02:42.26
We haven't seen you
up front much this time.
00:02:42.29\00:02:44.16
But we got, of
course, Kids Time, Francine
00:02:44.19\00:02:46.16
and Jason, the CFO.
00:02:46.19\00:02:47.90
What's on your guy's heart?
00:02:47.93\00:02:49.26
And give us a
little encouragement here?
00:02:49.30\00:02:50.63
Well, you know, I
always think of the kids
00:02:50.67\00:02:52.27
and they always
excited about wanting
00:02:52.30\00:02:54.10
to come to camp meeting.
00:02:54.14\00:02:55.47
And, of course, you
know, that didn't happen.
00:02:55.50\00:02:57.11
But you know, it reminds me
00:02:57.14\00:02:58.47
of something in 2
Chronicles 29:30 as well.
00:02:58.51\00:03:02.98
But it talks about how
Hezekiah first had people
00:03:03.01\00:03:07.05
dedicate the priests,
dedicate their lives first,
00:03:07.08\00:03:09.48
consecrate themselves,
and then to clean the temple
00:03:09.52\00:03:14.49
and focus on that.
00:03:14.52\00:03:16.26
And then they
provided offerings for Christ.
00:03:16.29\00:03:19.66
And you know,
that is another some
00:03:19.69\00:03:22.23
of those love languages
that we were talking about,
00:03:22.26\00:03:24.87
you know, some of those
things and how God is out there
00:03:24.90\00:03:28.30
reaching each one of us,
00:03:28.34\00:03:29.67
and that is
something special for us.
00:03:29.70\00:03:32.11
And then they had
a big celebration.
00:03:32.14\00:03:34.41
All right. Praise the Lord.
00:03:34.44\00:03:35.78
You know they had the Passover.
00:03:35.81\00:03:37.15
And you know, and
that's about singing,
00:03:37.18\00:03:38.88
again, that we were talking
about those love languages.
00:03:38.91\00:03:41.38
So, you know, that's something
00:03:41.42\00:03:42.75
that we all want to share
in the excitement for Jesus.
00:03:42.78\00:03:46.55
Thank you.
00:03:46.59\00:03:47.92
You know, I just praise the Lord
00:03:47.96\00:03:49.29
that we have an opportunity
to be aware of the truth,
00:03:49.32\00:03:53.83
the truth that is in
Jesus, and to be a part of this,
00:03:53.86\00:03:57.50
and to be a responsible
party to share that good news
00:03:57.53\00:04:02.14
with others is really important.
00:04:02.17\00:04:04.31
And I think of
everything that was said,
00:04:04.34\00:04:05.84
and all the singing.
00:04:05.87\00:04:07.28
I'm truly blessed.
00:04:07.31\00:04:08.84
And I kind of
look, thought about it.
00:04:08.88\00:04:11.15
And you know,
when I was younger,
00:04:11.18\00:04:13.42
about five or six,
00:04:13.45\00:04:14.78
and we would go to
the ice cream store
00:04:14.82\00:04:18.62
and we would get the
scoops on our ice cream.
00:04:18.65\00:04:22.36
And we were just
looking and we're like,
00:04:22.39\00:04:23.76
"Oh, I hope we get more.
00:04:23.79\00:04:25.53
I hope we get more."
00:04:25.56\00:04:27.40
You're talking soy ice cream,
right, Jason? That's right.
00:04:27.43\00:04:29.96
Soy... Did that happen?
00:04:30.00\00:04:33.94
Anyway, you
know, it's a privilege
00:04:33.97\00:04:36.14
that we have the
truth that is in Jesus.
00:04:36.17\00:04:39.11
And to be a part
of that, however,
00:04:39.14\00:04:41.01
we need your help in
order to carry this word out.
00:04:41.04\00:04:44.38
Because if we just
share it amongst ourselves,
00:04:44.41\00:04:47.15
that will only get so
far, but we need your help.
00:04:47.18\00:04:50.52
All right. Thank you so much.
00:04:50.55\00:04:53.02
Jay?
00:04:53.05\00:04:56.59
Danny, I've been
here for 22 years.
00:04:56.62\00:04:58.59
All right. Wow.
00:04:58.63\00:04:59.96
And each year, I've been
here for all the camp meetings.
00:05:00.00\00:05:03.40
And each year
after the first one,
00:05:03.43\00:05:07.14
I've thought, "They
can't beat last year's,
00:05:07.17\00:05:10.77
just can't be
done. It was so good."
00:05:10.81\00:05:12.67
At the end of the
second camp meeting
00:05:12.71\00:05:15.11
and each
succeeding camp meeting,
00:05:15.14\00:05:17.15
I've said the same thing.
00:05:17.18\00:05:18.51
I think maybe
after all this time
00:05:18.55\00:05:20.98
I can learn to expect
00:05:21.02\00:05:22.72
the next one will be
better than this one.
00:05:22.75\00:05:25.32
But I can tell you
that it was tremendous.
00:05:25.35\00:05:28.16
It was wonderful learning
about the seven love languages.
00:05:28.19\00:05:32.96
And now that I know
that it's in the Bible,
00:05:32.99\00:05:35.63
I'm going to study
it even more in depth.
00:05:35.66\00:05:38.53
And in realizing that
00:05:38.57\00:05:40.34
we need to be a
little more forward speaking.
00:05:40.37\00:05:44.21
It's easy, you would think,
00:05:44.24\00:05:46.98
to just talk to somebody.
00:05:47.01\00:05:49.04
But, James, you were talking
about how people react to you.
00:05:49.08\00:05:52.98
And I think a lot of
us pull back a little bit
00:05:53.01\00:05:57.69
and are concerned about
saying something, not anymore.
00:05:57.72\00:06:02.16
Not for me anyway.
00:06:02.19\00:06:03.53
Thank you very much.
All right. Praise the Lord.
00:06:03.56\00:06:05.29
Thank you for
what you've been doing
00:06:05.33\00:06:06.66
you and your
family all of these years.
00:06:06.70\00:06:08.66
And hopefully, each and every
one of us have been touched.
00:06:08.70\00:06:12.00
So that's Tim Parton's
cue to do He touched me.
00:06:12.03\00:06:16.54
But... And to mute the mike.
00:06:16.57\00:06:18.31
I'll start out and then
you all join the chorus.
00:06:18.34\00:06:20.81
We'll do He touched me.
00:06:20.84\00:06:22.18
All the words are up here
so you all can join with me.
00:06:27.25\00:06:30.42
Let's do it.
00:06:30.45\00:06:31.79
Shackled by a heavy burden
00:06:31.82\00:06:38.09
'Neath a load of guilt
00:06:38.13\00:06:41.76
And shame
00:06:41.80\00:06:46.50
Then the hand of Jesus
00:06:46.53\00:06:50.64
Touched me
00:06:50.67\00:06:53.88
And now
00:06:53.91\00:06:55.98
I am no longer the same
00:06:56.01\00:07:02.08
He touched me
00:07:02.12\00:07:05.05
Oh, He touched me
00:07:05.09\00:07:10.59
And oh, the joy
00:07:10.63\00:07:14.83
That floods my soul
00:07:14.86\00:07:20.27
Something happened and now
00:07:20.30\00:07:26.24
I know
00:07:26.27\00:07:29.01
He touched me
00:07:29.04\00:07:31.28
And made me whole
00:07:31.31\00:07:37.49
Yvonne?
00:07:37.52\00:07:39.75
There are so
many people right now
00:07:39.79\00:07:41.62
who are dealing with
overwhelming circumstances.
00:07:41.66\00:07:45.79
And this camp meeting
has been so encouraging
00:07:45.83\00:07:49.50
because we look
at the love of God.
00:07:49.53\00:07:52.37
I think that that's the kind
of the overarching theme here,
00:07:52.40\00:07:56.20
that God is love and
that He loves us so much.
00:07:56.24\00:08:00.28
And so there's a
verse in Psalms that says,
00:08:00.31\00:08:04.91
from the ends of the
earth, I will cry unto you,
00:08:04.95\00:08:07.82
when my heart is overwhelmed,
00:08:07.85\00:08:10.42
lead me to the rock
that is higher than I.
00:08:10.45\00:08:14.09
And I know that right now
many of you need to be led
00:08:14.12\00:08:17.09
to that rock the
truth, God is the rock.
00:08:17.13\00:08:21.96
And He will do for you
what no one else can do.
00:08:22.00\00:08:25.37
So hold on and be
assured that Jesus has got you,
00:08:25.40\00:08:30.87
He's got your back and
He'll never let you go.
00:08:30.91\00:08:33.68
Oh, we got to do
the second verse then.
00:08:33.71\00:08:35.34
And then we'll
have Mo and Adjma.
00:08:35.38\00:08:38.28
Since I've met.
00:08:38.31\00:08:39.85
Since I've met this
00:08:39.88\00:08:42.42
Blessed Savior
00:08:42.45\00:08:47.86
Since He's cleansed
00:08:47.89\00:08:49.76
And made me whole
00:08:49.79\00:08:55.76
I will never cease
00:08:55.80\00:08:59.23
To praise Him
00:08:59.27\00:09:02.97
I'll shout it
while eternity rolls
00:09:03.00\00:09:08.58
Sing with us at home now.
00:09:08.61\00:09:11.21
He touched me
00:09:11.25\00:09:14.02
Oh, He touched me
00:09:14.05\00:09:19.32
And oh, the joy
00:09:19.35\00:09:23.36
That floods my soul
00:09:23.39\00:09:28.66
Something happened and now
00:09:28.70\00:09:34.57
I know
00:09:34.60\00:09:36.91
He touched me
00:09:36.94\00:09:39.54
And made me whole
00:09:39.57\00:09:44.48
Moses, Adjma?
00:09:44.51\00:09:46.55
Hi, Danny.
00:09:46.58\00:09:47.92
This is my 30th
anniversary here.
00:09:47.95\00:09:51.25
Wow, 30 years. Thirty years.
00:09:51.29\00:09:53.22
Praise the Lord.
00:09:53.25\00:09:54.59
And I can't even
think of the first one.
00:09:54.62\00:09:58.79
But I know this is not
going to be the last one.
00:09:58.83\00:10:01.26
This is a
beautiful camp meeting,
00:10:01.30\00:10:03.87
and I felt the presence
of the Holy Spirit here.
00:10:03.90\00:10:07.80
And I was thinking
sitting back there,
00:10:07.84\00:10:10.77
I was thinking,
00:10:10.81\00:10:12.47
there are other people
that are all over the world,
00:10:12.51\00:10:17.41
and that they can
feel the Holy Spirit
00:10:17.45\00:10:19.41
and the Holy Spirit can preach
to them in their language.
00:10:19.45\00:10:22.88
But it would be so much better
00:10:22.92\00:10:25.15
if we could have more languages.
00:10:25.19\00:10:27.06
So I was thinking when
I was sitting back there,
00:10:27.09\00:10:29.52
and I said,
English, Spanish, Russian
00:10:29.56\00:10:34.36
and French is not enough.
00:10:34.40\00:10:36.13
That's right. All right.
00:10:36.16\00:10:37.50
I was thinking my
commitment is to this year
00:10:37.53\00:10:40.50
to advance to more language
00:10:40.54\00:10:43.00
so we can share these blessings
with the other language people.
00:10:43.04\00:10:46.78
All right. Praise the Lord.
00:10:46.81\00:10:48.31
Thank you. How about Jeff?
00:10:48.34\00:10:50.68
Bring your lovely
bride right up by Jill
00:10:50.71\00:10:54.32
and Greg there and
maybe introduce yourself
00:10:54.35\00:10:56.85
for those that don't know.
00:10:56.89\00:10:58.45
Well, this is my wife,
Charletta, and I'm Jeff Doerr,
00:10:58.49\00:11:00.76
I'm the director
of Planned Giving
00:11:00.79\00:11:02.12
and Trust Services here for 3ABN
00:11:02.16\00:11:04.69
and Moses talking about 30 years
00:11:04.73\00:11:06.70
and Jay 20 plus years.
00:11:06.73\00:11:08.33
This is our first year.
00:11:08.36\00:11:10.17
All right. That deserves a clap.
00:11:10.20\00:11:12.03
All right.
00:11:12.07\00:11:13.40
You know, we've
enjoyed camp meeting
00:11:13.44\00:11:15.64
as a visitor for many years.
00:11:15.67\00:11:18.71
And the virtual
camp meeting is great.
00:11:18.74\00:11:21.41
But I miss all
our extended family.
00:11:21.44\00:11:24.18
Yeah.
00:11:24.21\00:11:25.55
Not to be able to take
and visit, hug their necks,
00:11:25.58\00:11:27.48
shake their hands.
00:11:27.52\00:11:28.98
And this has been a revival in
more than just a camp meeting.
00:11:29.02\00:11:32.22
Yeah. Reviving
the Lord in my heart.
00:11:32.25\00:11:34.69
Yeah. Amen.
00:11:34.72\00:11:36.06
You know, when
somebody like Ben Carson,
00:11:36.09\00:11:38.83
speaking this
morning, someone as intelligent
00:11:38.86\00:11:42.00
and gifted as that man.
00:11:42.03\00:11:44.10
And for him to
acknowledge that it's not him,
00:11:44.13\00:11:46.77
it was the Lord Jesus Christ,
00:11:46.80\00:11:48.67
that was touching
him and guiding him,
00:11:48.70\00:11:51.34
getting
surgeries and everything.
00:11:51.37\00:11:53.07
And then for
James, to divide the Word
00:11:53.11\00:11:56.08
and bring it to life,
00:11:56.11\00:11:57.88
to bring the Word to
our present day life...
00:11:57.91\00:12:00.55
Amen.
00:12:00.58\00:12:02.18
It's amazing that a gift
that God has given that man.
00:12:02.22\00:12:04.92
If I remember rightly,
00:12:04.95\00:12:06.86
that you all were
members of another denomination
00:12:06.89\00:12:10.19
but used to listen to 3ABN radio
00:12:10.23\00:12:12.13
and then watch television,
00:12:12.16\00:12:13.50
Charletta, and then you
started coming to church.
00:12:13.53\00:12:15.66
That's very true.
00:12:15.70\00:12:17.60
I'm so thankful for
people who have donated
00:12:17.63\00:12:21.20
to 3ABN over the years
00:12:21.24\00:12:22.67
'cause that's how I
discovered the truth.
00:12:22.70\00:12:25.74
Well, praise Lord.
00:12:25.77\00:12:27.11
John, in the
Book of John, it says,
00:12:27.14\00:12:30.25
"You shall know the truth
00:12:30.28\00:12:32.28
and the truth
shall set you free."
00:12:32.31\00:12:34.92
And that, you know,
that has happened for us.
00:12:34.95\00:12:39.12
Absolutely.
00:12:39.15\00:12:40.49
And there's so many
people that are in churches,
00:12:40.52\00:12:45.83
they're good people,
00:12:45.86\00:12:48.60
and it's very difficult
00:12:48.63\00:12:50.93
to step out of a comfort zone.
00:12:50.97\00:12:54.67
It is very difficult.
00:12:54.70\00:12:57.04
And they're good people.
00:12:57.07\00:12:58.57
They just do not realize perhaps
00:12:58.61\00:13:01.78
that there's a truth
that they have not witnessed.
00:13:01.81\00:13:06.51
Maybe something
better, right? Yes.
00:13:06.55\00:13:09.05
James, Brother James?
00:13:09.08\00:13:10.62
So if the Holy
Spirit speaks to you,
00:13:10.65\00:13:13.76
even though it can be
very difficult sometimes,
00:13:13.79\00:13:16.83
please obey, please listen,
00:13:16.86\00:13:20.50
and you will be
set free in a way
00:13:20.53\00:13:22.83
that you have
never experienced Brian?
00:13:22.86\00:13:26.10
Brian's been here
some time, few years,
00:13:26.13\00:13:29.80
but you're kind of
mostly behind scenes.
00:13:29.84\00:13:31.67
Tell us, just
give us what's on you,
00:13:31.71\00:13:33.74
you and your beautiful wife.
00:13:33.78\00:13:35.11
We've seen her before. Yes.
00:13:35.14\00:13:37.61
As many of you know,
00:13:37.65\00:13:38.98
this is my
beautiful wife Celestine.
00:13:39.01\00:13:41.05
In December of 2017,
00:13:41.08\00:13:44.29
we were baptized
together before we got married.
00:13:44.32\00:13:46.86
Praise the Lord.
00:13:46.89\00:13:48.22
And then I got, we got married
in 2018 then I started at 3ABN.
00:13:48.26\00:13:53.46
Yeah, what do you do at 3ABN?
00:13:53.50\00:13:55.43
I started in the programming
department in February.
00:13:55.46\00:13:58.90
And then by this time in
camp meeting in September,
00:13:58.93\00:14:03.04
starting October of 2018,
00:14:03.07\00:14:04.91
I became the
programming manager.
00:14:04.94\00:14:06.81
All right. So praise the Lord.
00:14:06.84\00:14:08.41
And it was definitely a
gift to be able to do the work
00:14:08.44\00:14:13.25
that I do for the Lord
00:14:13.28\00:14:14.62
and especially for the ministry.
00:14:14.65\00:14:15.98
You're fairly new Adventist?
00:14:16.02\00:14:17.59
Fairly new Adventist. All right.
00:14:17.62\00:14:19.22
You know, I fell away
from the Lord for many years,
00:14:19.25\00:14:22.02
and then He
patiently brought me back.
00:14:22.06\00:14:24.56
And when He did...
That's what He does.
00:14:24.59\00:14:26.80
And He brought me
through the truth,
00:14:26.83\00:14:28.90
through Bible
studies with Pastor John
00:14:28.93\00:14:30.80
and Pastor C.A. Murray.
00:14:30.83\00:14:32.23
Amen. Praise the Lord.
00:14:32.27\00:14:33.60
That sounds like we're just
going to have to sing something
00:14:33.64\00:14:35.60
about that name.
00:14:35.64\00:14:36.97
Amen.
00:14:37.01\00:14:38.34
That's your that's
your cue, Brother Tim.
00:14:38.37\00:14:39.71
Let's see, we're cueing.
00:14:43.24\00:14:45.21
Jesus, Jesus,
00:14:49.28\00:14:54.16
Jesus
00:14:54.19\00:14:58.09
There's just something about
00:14:58.13\00:15:03.16
That name
00:15:03.20\00:15:08.04
Master, Savior,
00:15:08.07\00:15:12.77
Jesus
00:15:12.81\00:15:16.68
Like the fragrance
00:15:16.71\00:15:20.02
After the rain
00:15:20.05\00:15:26.79
Jesus, Jesus,
00:15:26.82\00:15:31.36
Jesus
00:15:31.39\00:15:35.30
Let all Heaven
00:15:35.33\00:15:38.27
And earth proclaim
00:15:38.30\00:15:42.27
Kings and kingdoms
00:15:45.71\00:15:50.08
will all pass away
00:15:50.11\00:15:54.58
But there's something about
00:15:54.62\00:15:59.72
That name Jason?
00:15:59.75\00:16:03.26
Jason Bradley,
what's on your heart?
00:16:03.29\00:16:06.06
All right.
00:16:06.09\00:16:07.43
Well, you know,
camp meeting is always
00:16:07.46\00:16:08.90
such an exciting time of year,
00:16:08.93\00:16:13.30
two times out of the year,
00:16:13.34\00:16:14.84
and there's a lot of
planning and preparation
00:16:14.87\00:16:17.27
that goes into camp meeting
00:16:17.31\00:16:19.11
and I think about
our lives and recognize
00:16:19.14\00:16:22.78
that there's a lot of
planning and preparation
00:16:22.81\00:16:24.98
that needs to take place,
00:16:25.01\00:16:26.98
and that people
don't plan to fail,
00:16:27.02\00:16:29.38
but they tend to fail to plan
00:16:29.42\00:16:31.72
and we've been
given the Bible...
00:16:31.75\00:16:33.22
We got a sermon now.
00:16:33.25\00:16:34.59
Come on. Come on Jay.
00:16:34.62\00:16:35.96
We've been given
the Bible which is like
00:16:35.99\00:16:37.43
basic instructions
before leaving earth.
00:16:37.46\00:16:41.23
And so contained
within the pages of Scripture
00:16:41.26\00:16:45.03
is a plan and a purpose
and a calling on your life.
00:16:45.07\00:16:49.60
Do not fail to
plan for eternity.
00:16:49.64\00:16:54.24
God has
something in store for you
00:16:54.28\00:16:56.31
and He wants to reveal it to you
00:16:56.34\00:16:58.31
but you have to open
His Word, He loves you.
00:16:58.35\00:17:02.18
Give your heart
to Him. Thank you.
00:17:02.22\00:17:03.62
Hey Jay, before you leave,
now this is our son Jason.
00:17:03.65\00:17:08.66
And a lot of
people get us confused.
00:17:08.69\00:17:10.53
They say we look alike,
for about same height and same,
00:17:10.56\00:17:13.56
you know, but
actually I'm older than him.
00:17:13.60\00:17:15.60
I may not look like
it, no I'm just kidding.
00:17:15.63\00:17:17.47
Just a tad.
00:17:17.50\00:17:18.83
It's okay to have a
little bit of fun right,
00:17:18.87\00:17:20.27
once in a while
just don't stretch it
00:17:20.30\00:17:21.64
too far then.
00:17:21.67\00:17:23.00
But we're so privileged
00:17:23.04\00:17:24.37
and I'm so privileged
to be a part of your life
00:17:24.41\00:17:26.21
and set in for a pop I'm not,
00:17:26.24\00:17:28.24
you know, you got to
father and that's great,
00:17:28.28\00:17:29.84
but I'm the pop and you
make me so proud as a Christian,
00:17:29.88\00:17:33.78
as a person to see
the growth in your life.
00:17:33.82\00:17:36.85
It's been amazing since we,
00:17:36.89\00:17:38.32
you know, many years
ago, when we first met,
00:17:38.35\00:17:40.56
we told you to go home
00:17:40.59\00:17:41.92
and you came here
right for a program.
00:17:41.96\00:17:44.39
What was it New Years?
00:17:44.43\00:17:46.09
It was the day of
prayer. Day of prayer.
00:17:46.13\00:17:47.90
And you were up here
speaking and you said,
00:17:47.93\00:17:49.56
if you leave this place,
00:17:49.60\00:17:50.93
and you can't get
it out of your mind,
00:17:50.97\00:17:52.30
then perhaps this is
where God would have you to be.
00:17:52.33\00:17:54.67
And... Trap.
00:17:54.70\00:17:56.27
That was a trap.
00:17:56.30\00:17:57.64
And seven and a
half plus years later,
00:17:57.67\00:18:00.08
here I am.
00:18:00.11\00:18:01.44
Praise God. Amen.
00:18:01.48\00:18:03.11
All right. J.D?
00:18:03.14\00:18:07.82
I guess we all have a testimony.
00:18:07.85\00:18:10.45
All I know is that God
is mighty, mighty good.
00:18:10.49\00:18:13.79
And, you know, camp meeting
is always a favorite time
00:18:13.82\00:18:16.46
because we're people persons.
00:18:16.49\00:18:19.13
If you're a people
person, you love hugging necks,
00:18:19.16\00:18:22.66
you love getting names,
and you love sharing Jesus.
00:18:22.70\00:18:27.30
And what I've
learned in pastoral is that
00:18:27.34\00:18:29.57
there are so many
hurting people out there,
00:18:29.60\00:18:32.37
that they're, they need prayer,
00:18:32.41\00:18:34.61
they need attention,
they want to be heard.
00:18:34.64\00:18:38.55
And I just encourage anyone here
00:18:38.58\00:18:41.85
that's listening,
00:18:41.88\00:18:43.59
first of all,
that we do miss you.
00:18:43.62\00:18:46.02
Second of all,
don't hesitate to call.
00:18:46.05\00:18:49.62
You know, we got an 800 number.
00:18:49.66\00:18:51.63
But today, the way
the technology is set up,
00:18:51.66\00:18:53.73
it doesn't cost
anything, use your own phone.
00:18:53.76\00:18:57.27
Be a good steward,
00:18:57.30\00:18:59.43
allow 3ABN to use those funds
00:18:59.47\00:19:01.57
that would go
out on an 800 number,
00:19:01.60\00:19:03.71
to go for magazines, books,
00:19:03.74\00:19:06.64
and et cetera to
bless other people.
00:19:06.68\00:19:08.78
But anyway, don't
hesitate to give us a call.
00:19:08.81\00:19:11.25
Once again, I just want
to make it perfectly clear
00:19:11.28\00:19:14.25
that we do love you.
00:19:14.28\00:19:15.62
In fact, we adore you.
00:19:15.65\00:19:16.99
You are part of our family.
00:19:17.02\00:19:18.59
All right. Sister Shelley?
00:19:18.62\00:19:21.79
Well, I know my
heart was touched.
00:19:21.82\00:19:24.09
I want to thank you, James.
00:19:24.13\00:19:26.29
Hebrews has always
been my favorite book.
00:19:26.33\00:19:28.53
But I think what impressed me
00:19:28.56\00:19:31.27
the most about this camp meeting
00:19:31.30\00:19:34.17
is how intimate it was.
00:19:34.20\00:19:36.24
We saw a God of intimate
love of relational love.
00:19:36.27\00:19:41.34
And he touched my heart.
00:19:41.38\00:19:43.58
I feel changed.
00:19:43.61\00:19:44.95
And I feel blessed.
00:19:44.98\00:19:46.31
Thank you so much.
00:19:46.35\00:19:47.98
Amen. Thank you so much.
00:19:48.02\00:19:49.45
Greg and Jill, we
have a few minutes.
00:19:49.48\00:19:51.09
Why don't you
give us a little bit,
00:19:51.12\00:19:52.92
maybe your vision
for the coming months,
00:19:52.95\00:19:56.86
the coming years,
00:19:56.89\00:19:58.23
and both of you
are doing incredible,
00:19:58.26\00:19:59.96
credible work.
00:20:00.00\00:20:01.33
And I don't say that lightly,
00:20:01.36\00:20:02.70
everybody here
will agree with us.
00:20:02.73\00:20:05.43
We're not uplifting you,
but we uplift the Jesus in you.
00:20:05.47\00:20:08.57
I've never seen more
people more committed
00:20:08.60\00:20:11.07
to anything in my life
00:20:11.11\00:20:12.44
than I have
these two as a couple.
00:20:12.47\00:20:13.91
So, but you're
great visionaries,
00:20:13.94\00:20:16.18
and I love it.
00:20:16.21\00:20:17.55
And I've kind of
handed that over now.
00:20:17.58\00:20:19.31
I love you waking up
at 1:30 in the morning
00:20:19.35\00:20:21.48
thinking about what
3ABN needs to happen here.
00:20:21.52\00:20:24.69
That's so good.
00:20:24.72\00:20:26.05
Yvonne and I are sound
asleep, and Greg is awake,
00:20:26.09\00:20:28.72
but, no, give us a
little bit of your heart
00:20:28.76\00:20:31.16
both of you please?
00:20:31.19\00:20:33.60
I was just standing here
this evening, on the stage
00:20:33.63\00:20:37.20
and 19 years ago,
00:20:37.23\00:20:42.87
I came here to 3ABN.
00:20:42.90\00:20:45.04
I was a young bride,
had just married Greg,
00:20:45.07\00:20:48.31
in my 20s, knew
nothing, wanted to serve Jesus,
00:20:48.34\00:20:54.05
wanted to give my life
00:20:54.08\00:20:56.32
to share the gospel with others.
00:20:56.35\00:20:59.05
And as I stood here
on the stage tonight,
00:20:59.09\00:21:01.99
I was reminded of all the people
00:21:02.02\00:21:05.63
who have poured into my life.
00:21:05.66\00:21:08.53
And you all are
standing right here.
00:21:08.56\00:21:09.93
Oh, praise the Lord.
00:21:09.96\00:21:11.30
Reminded that they
have prayed for Greg and I,
00:21:11.33\00:21:14.77
that you all have loved us,
that you all have mentored us,
00:21:14.80\00:21:19.17
that you all have
showed us a picture of Jesus.
00:21:19.21\00:21:23.68
And I'm so very
grateful for that.
00:21:23.71\00:21:25.71
Grateful that no
matter who you are,
00:21:25.75\00:21:28.68
no matter where you've been,
00:21:28.72\00:21:30.82
no matter what you don't know
00:21:30.85\00:21:33.22
or what you
think you don't know,
00:21:33.25\00:21:35.59
the Lord Jesus loves you.
00:21:35.62\00:21:37.13
The Lord Jesus made you.
00:21:37.16\00:21:39.09
The Lord Jesus
redeemed you for a purpose.
00:21:39.13\00:21:42.63
He called you to be His witness.
00:21:42.66\00:21:46.20
No matter what you
feel you can or can't do,
00:21:46.23\00:21:49.37
He wants to use
you, empower you,
00:21:49.40\00:21:52.51
equip you, stand you
up to be His witness.
00:21:52.54\00:21:57.08
If anyone is in Christ,
He or she is a new creature,
00:21:57.11\00:22:01.35
the old is past,
the old life of sin,
00:22:01.38\00:22:03.79
the old man or woman of sin,
00:22:03.82\00:22:05.39
those old addictions,
00:22:05.42\00:22:07.19
those things
that hold us hostage,
00:22:07.22\00:22:10.26
Jesus came to set you free.
00:22:10.29\00:22:13.26
And if the Son sets you
free, you shall be free indeed.
00:22:13.29\00:22:18.40
So we go forth
from this camp meeting
00:22:18.43\00:22:20.87
knowing that there
is something better.
00:22:20.90\00:22:23.57
We have a better hope,
we have a better Savior,
00:22:23.61\00:22:26.71
we have a better future.
00:22:26.74\00:22:28.98
And right now, in this
world that we have today,
00:22:29.01\00:22:32.85
we can look around,
and we can share Jesus.
00:22:32.88\00:22:36.25
To me, that's my goal.
00:22:36.28\00:22:37.72
That's my vision for
3ABN, new avenues, new methods,
00:22:37.75\00:22:43.29
new ways to proclaim the gospel,
00:22:43.32\00:22:45.29
whether it's
through other languages,
00:22:45.33\00:22:47.03
whether it's
through different avenues
00:22:47.06\00:22:48.96
that the gospel can go forward.
00:22:49.00\00:22:51.13
But that is our objective,
and that is our purpose,
00:22:51.17\00:22:53.67
to share the
undiluted three angels' messages
00:22:53.70\00:22:57.54
with a lost and dying world.
00:22:57.57\00:22:59.14
Amen.
00:22:59.17\00:23:00.51
You know, I found at 3ABN
that, you know, we have plans,
00:23:00.54\00:23:03.18
and it's good to have plans.
00:23:03.21\00:23:04.55
But I've found
that my plans today
00:23:04.58\00:23:06.21
may be totally
different tomorrow,
00:23:06.25\00:23:07.58
because God's
opened another window,
00:23:07.62\00:23:09.12
and we've got to go
this way, and then also,
00:23:09.15\00:23:11.12
it seems like
we're going this way.
00:23:11.15\00:23:12.49
So our plan and our vision
00:23:12.52\00:23:14.56
is to follow the
Lord Jesus Christ.
00:23:14.59\00:23:16.32
And that's our
plan and our vision.
00:23:16.36\00:23:18.83
I want to just say
thank you also to the crew.
00:23:18.86\00:23:20.66
Even though
you've not been here,
00:23:20.70\00:23:22.13
the production crew
have worked tirelessly,
00:23:22.16\00:23:24.23
like they always do,
00:23:24.27\00:23:25.67
to bring camp meeting to you.
00:23:25.70\00:23:27.70
And so I want to say
thank you to the production team
00:23:27.74\00:23:29.24
and everyone else.
00:23:29.27\00:23:32.01
Jesus is coming very soon. Amen.
00:23:32.04\00:23:35.24
We're on a journey.
00:23:35.28\00:23:36.61
And I want to
encourage you, don't give up.
00:23:36.64\00:23:39.71
I was in the woods not long ago,
00:23:39.75\00:23:41.28
and I heard a little
rustling in the leaves
00:23:41.32\00:23:43.05
and I looked down and I saw
00:23:43.08\00:23:44.42
a little Eastern box turtle.
00:23:44.45\00:23:46.99
It was on a
journey heading somewhere.
00:23:47.02\00:23:49.36
As I look closer,
its right eye was gone.
00:23:49.39\00:23:53.43
It was just sealed shut.
00:23:53.46\00:23:54.90
Its eye was gone.
00:23:54.93\00:23:56.40
Turtle was still moving forward.
00:23:56.43\00:23:58.43
I looked a little closer,
00:23:58.47\00:24:00.24
its shell had a massive gash.
00:24:00.27\00:24:02.57
It was old, it healed over.
00:24:02.60\00:24:04.67
But this turtle
was on a journey.
00:24:04.71\00:24:06.04
All right.
00:24:06.07\00:24:07.41
In front of this
turtle was a log.
00:24:07.44\00:24:09.38
I said, "This is
going to be interesting."
00:24:09.41\00:24:11.08
I sat back and I looked
and that turtle with one eye,
00:24:11.11\00:24:14.72
battle scars on his
back, I looked at that log.
00:24:14.75\00:24:17.59
And as turtles go kind of slow,
00:24:17.62\00:24:19.62
up and over and he stood on top.
00:24:19.65\00:24:21.62
It just bounced in
the middle of his shell.
00:24:21.66\00:24:23.12
And then he went over the
other side on his journey.
00:24:23.16\00:24:25.76
I want to encourage you,
many of you are battle scarred,
00:24:25.79\00:24:28.43
you're weary, maybe
you've lost sight of something
00:24:28.46\00:24:31.13
but you still got one eye,
00:24:31.17\00:24:32.73
you've got a scar
somewhere here but go for it.
00:24:32.77\00:24:35.00
I want to
encourage you don't give up.
00:24:35.04\00:24:36.91
You know, we're almost
there. We're almost home.
00:24:36.94\00:24:39.07
Don't give up. We're oppressed.
00:24:39.11\00:24:40.74
It seems like
things are coming on.
00:24:40.78\00:24:42.54
Pressure past, you
mentioned last year
00:24:42.58\00:24:44.71
you said, "Do you
feel the pressure?"
00:24:44.75\00:24:46.35
I raise my hand,
I feel the pressure.
00:24:46.38\00:24:48.45
And I think you
feel the pressure
00:24:48.48\00:24:49.82
too at home but don't give up.
00:24:49.85\00:24:51.55
Jesus Christ is
coming very, very soon.
00:24:51.59\00:24:54.49
Amen.
00:24:54.52\00:24:55.86
Oh, I have to tell you, I
can identify with the turtle.
00:24:55.89\00:24:58.56
I'm blind to my right eye.
00:24:58.59\00:25:00.16
But you didn't give up.
00:25:00.20\00:25:01.53
I'm 70 years old
and I'm a little slower
00:25:01.56\00:25:02.90
than I used to be.
00:25:02.93\00:25:04.27
But I'm not giving up yet. Amen.
00:25:04.30\00:25:05.63
That's right. That's right.
00:25:05.67\00:25:07.00
I'm still going up breezy.
00:25:07.04\00:25:08.37
I'm still going forward.
00:25:08.40\00:25:09.74
Praise the Lord. All right.
00:25:09.77\00:25:11.11
I'm still going forward here.
00:25:11.14\00:25:12.47
We're still going forward.
00:25:12.51\00:25:14.24
These young
ones, they don't know
00:25:14.28\00:25:15.61
what we're talking about.
00:25:15.64\00:25:17.18
Some of you at home do for sure.
00:25:17.21\00:25:19.78
Thank you so much,
and for your leadership
00:25:19.81\00:25:22.42
and for what you
do for the calling
00:25:22.45\00:25:24.45
that God has
placed on your life.
00:25:24.49\00:25:25.89
And I just want to say
something to the viewers.
00:25:25.92\00:25:28.72
This doesn't happen by itself.
00:25:28.76\00:25:31.03
3ABN, you heard
Brother Mo continuing to grow.
00:25:31.06\00:25:34.20
You heard their vision,
00:25:34.23\00:25:35.56
continue to reach
more and more people.
00:25:35.60\00:25:38.50
While the avenues,
communication highways
00:25:38.53\00:25:42.04
or new ones
coming out all the time.
00:25:42.07\00:25:44.57
But it's also
open for secular vision
00:25:44.61\00:25:48.61
for folks that
have the vision to take,
00:25:48.64\00:25:51.11
I'm just going to
say bad stuff, anti-God,
00:25:51.15\00:25:54.42
anti-Bible,
anti-themes to the world.
00:25:54.45\00:25:58.35
We have to work now.
00:25:58.39\00:25:59.72
That's right. Right?
00:25:59.75\00:26:01.12
The fields are
wide under harvest
00:26:01.16\00:26:02.89
but the reapers, where are they?
00:26:02.92\00:26:06.03
We cannot do what
we do without you.
00:26:06.06\00:26:09.20
You're as much
a part of the team
00:26:09.23\00:26:11.53
of 3ABN as we are.
00:26:11.57\00:26:13.97
Honestly, I'm
going to say it again,
00:26:14.00\00:26:15.70
without you, we just
all be standing there
00:26:15.74\00:26:17.81
having a good time all
right but all by ourselves.
00:26:17.84\00:26:20.54
Probably couldn't
afford all the lights on.
00:26:20.58\00:26:22.18
So we maybe been in the dark,
00:26:22.21\00:26:24.05
but we'd still be
talking to each other.
00:26:24.08\00:26:26.82
But I want to thank
you for what you do.
00:26:26.85\00:26:28.55
And so I know many
of you are sacrificing.
00:26:28.58\00:26:30.82
Thank you for that.
00:26:30.85\00:26:32.19
Many of you, maybe you
haven't, maybe you say,
00:26:32.22\00:26:34.42
well, they tell me
that after 25 years,
00:26:34.46\00:26:37.53
people look at an
organization as an institution
00:26:37.56\00:26:40.93
and an institution
while they just go on.
00:26:40.96\00:26:43.60
But honestly,
this would not go on
00:26:43.63\00:26:45.77
without what you do
00:26:45.80\00:26:47.24
as the Holy Spirit impresses you
00:26:47.27\00:26:49.50
what you should do
for this ministry, us too,
00:26:49.54\00:26:52.54
each and every one of us
here we make that decision,
00:26:52.57\00:26:55.14
what can we do to support 3ABN?
00:26:55.18\00:26:57.05
It's not enough
just to get up front,
00:26:57.08\00:26:58.81
talk or travel and do whatever.
00:26:58.85\00:27:00.65
But we want to personally give,
00:27:00.68\00:27:02.32
we personally want to be a part
00:27:02.35\00:27:04.29
of getting this
great gospel of the kingdom
00:27:04.32\00:27:06.72
unto all the world.
00:27:06.76\00:27:08.09
So I'm going to ask
you to think about it.
00:27:08.12\00:27:09.49
And I'm going to
ask Greg to say a prayer
00:27:09.52\00:27:11.56
that we want to pray for
each and every one of you.
00:27:11.59\00:27:13.63
And right now, we
don't normally do this.
00:27:13.66\00:27:15.36
It's not a big
begathon or anything,
00:27:15.40\00:27:17.57
but I just felt
impressed by the Holy Spirit.
00:27:17.60\00:27:19.70
There are many
watching this program,
00:27:19.73\00:27:21.54
maybe you've never
given, you've never supported.
00:27:21.57\00:27:24.14
But maybe the
Holy Spirit right now
00:27:24.17\00:27:25.91
is wanting to speak to you
00:27:25.94\00:27:27.94
and tell you what He
would have you to do.
00:27:27.98\00:27:29.74
Maybe you volunteer your time.
00:27:29.78\00:27:31.35
Thank you for your prayers.
00:27:31.38\00:27:32.71
We appreciate all that.
00:27:32.75\00:27:34.08
God has
something in store for you.
00:27:34.12\00:27:35.98
And we can get this
gospel of the kingdom
00:27:36.02\00:27:38.22
into all the world
only when we unite together,
00:27:38.25\00:27:41.29
church, people, all of
us in unity, no division.
00:27:41.32\00:27:45.63
Can't a house divided
against itself can't stand,
00:27:45.66\00:27:48.00
it will fall, right?
00:27:48.03\00:27:49.53
But we want to be united
and we are with our viewers
00:27:49.56\00:27:52.20
and our listeners
00:27:52.23\00:27:53.57
and for those of
you round the world.
00:27:53.60\00:27:54.94
Thank you so much.
00:27:54.97\00:27:56.30
And then you as Greg
prays, you ask the Holy Spirit,
00:27:56.34\00:27:58.11
what He would have you to do.
00:27:58.14\00:27:59.81
We're all part of
the family of God.
00:27:59.84\00:28:01.31
Amen.
00:28:01.34\00:28:02.68
Father in heaven,
Lord, we're thankful
00:28:02.71\00:28:04.35
for the privilege each one of us
00:28:04.38\00:28:06.05
have been a part of spreading
Your gospel around the world.
00:28:06.08\00:28:09.28
Thank You for the
sacrifice that so many have done
00:28:09.32\00:28:12.82
and given Lord to
make 3ABN what it is today.
00:28:12.85\00:28:15.66
And, Lord, thank
you for taking the funds
00:28:15.69\00:28:17.36
multiplying them.
00:28:17.39\00:28:18.73
And, Father, thank You
so much for protecting 3ABN,
00:28:18.76\00:28:21.56
we pray for
special hedge of protection
00:28:21.60\00:28:23.16
around the donors.
00:28:23.20\00:28:24.53
We thank You
for Your Holy Spirit
00:28:24.57\00:28:25.90
that impresses
and in Jesus' name
00:28:25.93\00:28:27.57
we pray, amen.
00:28:27.60\00:28:28.94
Amen.
00:28:28.97\00:28:30.31
So I think we
should probably go out sing
00:28:30.34\00:28:31.67
and don't you,
Brother Tim, Family of God?
00:28:31.71\00:28:34.18
All right.
00:28:34.21\00:28:35.54
I'm a part of the Family of God
00:28:38.48\00:28:43.52
I've been washed in the fountain
00:28:43.55\00:28:47.49
Cleansed by His blood
00:28:47.52\00:28:50.79
Joint heirs with
Jesus as we travel this sod
00:28:50.83\00:28:57.07
For I'm part of the family
00:28:57.10\00:29:00.70
The Family of God
00:29:00.74\00:29:02.74
Again...
00:29:02.77\00:29:05.31
I'm a part of the Family of God
00:29:05.34\00:29:10.48
I've been washed in the fountain
00:29:10.51\00:29:14.55
Cleansed by His blood
00:29:14.58\00:29:17.99
Joint heirs with
Jesus as we travel this sod
00:29:18.02\00:29:24.43
For I'm part of the family
00:29:24.46\00:29:28.23
The Family of God
00:29:28.26\00:29:31.67
Our time is all gone.
00:29:31.70\00:29:33.03
Until we see you next time,
may the Lord richly bless you,
00:29:33.07\00:29:36.44
abundantly more than
you could ever ask or think.
00:29:36.47\00:29:38.94
Amen.
00:29:38.97\00:29:40.31
