Hello and welcome to
a very special program
00:00:14.84\00:00:18.71
that is an integral part of
the Secrets Unsealed Summit.
00:00:18.75\00:00:24.65
This Program always
takes place on Saturday evening
00:00:24.69\00:00:29.69
when we have
our In-person Summit
00:00:29.72\00:00:31.99
and so, we've put it
at that exact same time...
00:00:32.03\00:00:34.80
exact same time
during the Virtual Summit.
00:00:34.83\00:00:38.03
So, we welcome you to a
really important Program
00:00:38.07\00:00:40.70
and I say, "Very,
very important Program"
00:00:40.74\00:00:43.44
because we get to
share with you now,
00:00:43.47\00:00:46.07
some of the trials
and some of the triumphs
00:00:46.11\00:00:49.61
of the last year and
of Secrets Unsealed SUMTV
00:00:49.64\00:00:53.05
and we get to share with
you some of the great things
00:00:53.08\00:00:56.25
that God is doing for... with...
to... and through this ministry
00:00:56.28\00:01:00.96
and let me assure you...
00:01:00.99\00:01:02.52
God is doing some great
things during the next hour...
00:01:02.56\00:01:06.06
we've got a lot to talk about.
00:01:06.09\00:01:08.00
I'm here with Pastor Bohr
00:01:08.03\00:01:09.53
and you see that
smile on his face...
00:01:09.56\00:01:11.97
he is so excited
because he knows...
00:01:12.00\00:01:14.47
he is just ready to let you know
00:01:14.50\00:01:16.87
of some of the
things that God is doing...
00:01:16.91\00:01:18.97
some information
that we've gotten
00:01:19.01\00:01:21.04
even in the last
several hours... Pastor.
00:01:21.08\00:01:22.41
Stephen: Yes Sir...
00:01:22.44\00:01:23.78
CA Murray: That let us
know that God is really working
00:01:23.81\00:01:25.61
through this Ministry.
00:01:25.68\00:01:27.02
Now, we are at the very
nether edges of the Sabbath,
00:01:27.05\00:01:30.22
in fact, by the time I get
through talking and have prayer,
00:01:30.29\00:01:32.95
the Sabbath will have slipped
into history... into eternity
00:01:32.99\00:01:35.62
and we will have
moved into a brand-new week.
00:01:35.66\00:01:38.43
Hopefully, you have been with us
00:01:38.49\00:01:40.16
throughout the
course of the day...
00:01:40.20\00:01:41.83
many powerful
messages have been preached.
00:01:41.86\00:01:44.27
We've been here most
of the day in the Studio
00:01:44.30\00:01:46.43
and have had a
wonderful time together...
00:01:46.50\00:01:48.57
we always have a wonderful
time when we are together.
00:01:48.60\00:01:50.41
Stephen: All the time.
00:01:50.44\00:01:51.77
CA Murray: I
thing that's because
00:01:51.81\00:01:53.14
we actually like
each other, Pastor.
00:01:53.17\00:01:54.51
Stephen: I know we do.
00:01:54.54\00:01:55.88
CA Murray: And we
praise the Lord for it
00:01:55.91\00:01:57.55
but we've talking
about and rejoicing
00:01:57.58\00:01:59.45
in some of the
blessings of the Lord
00:01:59.51\00:02:01.32
and we have got to let you know
some of these wonderful things
00:02:01.35\00:02:04.55
that God is doing.
00:02:04.59\00:02:05.95
We've got a video coming up.
00:02:05.99\00:02:07.32
I think we're going
to have prayer first
00:02:07.36\00:02:09.82
because we want to
formally say, "Goodbye"
00:02:09.86\00:02:12.49
to this wonderful Sabbath day.
00:02:12.53\00:02:13.86
We'll come out of that prayer...
say a couple of words...
00:02:13.90\00:02:16.53
then we're going
to go into a video...
00:02:16.56\00:02:17.90
we're kind of set up
what we want to talk about
00:02:17.93\00:02:19.97
and believe me,
we've got a lot to share
00:02:20.04\00:02:22.40
that we want
you to be a part of.
00:02:22.44\00:02:23.97
Pastor, would you
pray for us please
00:02:24.01\00:02:25.44
as we say, "Goodbye" to
this particular Sabbath day.
00:02:25.47\00:02:28.01
Stephen: Let's
pray, "Father in heaven,
00:02:28.04\00:02:30.65
thank You for a
glorious Sabbath day.
00:02:30.68\00:02:33.31
Thank You for the
abundant blessings
00:02:33.35\00:02:35.45
that You have
poured out in this day...
00:02:35.48\00:02:37.29
all of the
messages that we've heard.
00:02:37.32\00:02:39.02
We've been edified in
our spiritual experience
00:02:39.05\00:02:42.06
and now Lord, as
we say, 'Goodbye'
00:02:42.09\00:02:45.19
to another Sabbath
00:02:45.23\00:02:46.76
and 'Hello' to a new week,
00:02:46.80\00:02:48.50
we ask Lord that You
will bless us this week...
00:02:48.53\00:02:51.17
that You'll pour out
Your Spirit upon us...
00:02:51.23\00:02:53.84
give us peace,
joy and prosperity
00:02:53.87\00:02:57.91
and we thank you Father for
hearing and answering our prayer
00:02:57.94\00:03:01.18
for we ask it in
Jesus' name, amen. "
00:03:01.21\00:03:03.61
CA Murray: Amen and amen.
00:03:03.65\00:03:05.08
All right, now,
to kind of set up
00:03:05.11\00:03:07.02
what we're going to talk about
00:03:07.05\00:03:08.85
and to sort of set
the flavor of the hour,
00:03:08.88\00:03:11.39
our Production Team has
produced a very beautiful video
00:03:11.45\00:03:15.46
and we want you
to watch that now
00:03:15.49\00:03:17.36
and then we'll come back
00:03:17.39\00:03:18.73
and we've got a
lot to talk about...
00:03:18.76\00:03:20.10
God bless you.
00:03:20.13\00:03:21.46
Music...
00:03:21.50\00:03:31.87
"Then Samuel took a stone,
00:03:31.91\00:03:33.34
and set it up
between Mizpah and Shen...
00:03:33.38\00:03:36.31
he named it Ebenezer, saying,
00:03:36.34\00:03:39.51
'Thus far has the
Lord helped us. '"
00:03:39.55\00:03:41.35
1st Samuel 7:12.
00:03:41.38\00:03:45.62
Secrets Unsealed began
operations in the fall of 2002
00:03:45.65\00:03:48.96
in two small rooms
00:03:48.99\00:03:50.33
in the rear of the Fresno
Seventh-day Adventist Church
00:03:50.36\00:03:53.40
originally
conceived as a resource center
00:03:53.43\00:03:56.43
for equipping and strengthening
the body of Christ.
00:03:56.46\00:03:59.60
By March of 2003,
00:03:59.63\00:04:02.14
the Ministry was
receiving and shipping orders
00:04:02.17\00:04:04.77
for books, Study
Notes and VHS tapes.
00:04:04.81\00:04:07.94
People began telling
us that we were providing
00:04:07.98\00:04:10.51
the type of
in-depth study sorely lacking
00:04:10.55\00:04:13.95
from many pulpits
across the country.
00:04:13.98\00:04:15.38
Very early on, God showed us
00:04:15.42\00:04:18.12
why He had
established Secrets Unsealed
00:04:18.15\00:04:20.32
and the unique role
this particular ministry
00:04:20.36\00:04:22.96
was destined to play
00:04:22.99\00:04:24.33
and fortifying Adventists
to meet the challenges
00:04:24.36\00:04:27.56
of these last days.
00:04:27.60\00:04:28.93
Though our target audience
was the Adventist community,
00:04:28.96\00:04:32.63
we quickly found that the
words of the Bible were true.
00:04:32.67\00:04:36.00
Christ said that
if I be lifted up,
00:04:36.04\00:04:39.74
I will draw all men unto myself.
00:04:39.77\00:04:41.24
We began to receive
word that scores of people
00:04:41.28\00:04:44.85
were attending
Adventist churches
00:04:44.88\00:04:46.31
and being baptized.
00:04:46.35\00:04:47.68
Requests for sermons
and other study materials
00:04:47.72\00:04:50.32
began to pour in.
00:04:50.35\00:04:51.99
This let us know that there
was a hunger for the information
00:04:52.02\00:04:54.69
that Secrets
Unsealed was supplying.
00:04:54.72\00:04:56.83
God affirmed very early
in the life of this ministry
00:04:56.86\00:05:00.20
that we were
fulfilling a niche and a need
00:05:00.23\00:05:02.66
within the body of Christ
00:05:02.70\00:05:04.03
and if we remain
faithful to His calling,
00:05:04.07\00:05:06.80
He would bless His ministry
with His presence and power.
00:05:06.84\00:05:11.14
In 2004, Secrets Unsealed
began broadcasting on 3ABN.
00:05:11.17\00:05:15.44
Music...
00:05:15.48\00:05:19.98
In 2012, the
ministry moved from its space
00:05:20.02\00:05:22.62
in the rear of the Fresno
Seventh-day Adventist Church
00:05:22.65\00:05:25.12
to its current headquarters at
00:05:25.15\00:05:27.76
5949 East
Clinton Avenue in Fresno.
00:05:27.79\00:05:31.39
God's leading was evident
again as both the building
00:05:31.43\00:05:34.66
and the necessary
production equipment
00:05:34.70\00:05:36.87
were purchased debt free.
00:05:36.90\00:05:38.70
During these years, the
Anchor School of Theology
00:05:38.73\00:05:41.90
held at our headquarters
was begun along with
00:05:41.94\00:05:45.14
Annual Secrets
Unsealed Summit held each fall
00:05:45.17\00:05:48.34
at the beautiful Tenaya
Lodge at Yosemite National Park
00:05:48.38\00:05:51.98
but God had more
blessings in store
00:05:52.01\00:05:54.45
as His ministry
continued to grow.
00:05:54.48\00:05:56.82
In 2007, Secrets Unsealed
began to minister to 12 inmates
00:05:56.89\00:06:01.46
as it began a
fledgling prison ministry.
00:06:01.52\00:06:04.06
Some ten years later,
00:06:04.09\00:06:06.09
that number grew
to over 2,052 inmates
00:06:06.13\00:06:09.30
in 37 states.
00:06:09.33\00:06:10.90
So far, this year our numbers
have topped 3,813 inmates.
00:06:10.93\00:06:16.30
We average between 100
to 200 letters each month.
00:06:16.34\00:06:19.87
We have witnessed baptisms
00:06:19.91\00:06:21.91
and numbers of
incarcerated men and women
00:06:21.94\00:06:24.11
who have given
their lives to Jesus.
00:06:24.15\00:06:26.21
Many offenders have told us
00:06:26.25\00:06:28.35
that their first
contact with the gospel
00:06:28.38\00:06:30.45
was a tract... pamphlet...
sermon... Study Guide
00:06:30.49\00:06:33.76
or Bible sent to them
from Secrets Unsealed.
00:06:33.79\00:06:36.99
Secrets Unsealed was born as
a print... CD... DVD... ministry
00:06:37.03\00:06:41.53
but it soon became evident
that the Lord was calling us
00:06:41.56\00:06:44.73
to expand both our
borders and our vision.
00:06:44.80\00:06:47.24
God was calling us to
move into new areas of service.
00:06:47.27\00:06:50.71
We expanded to
include YouTube, Facebook
00:06:50.74\00:06:53.48
and various other
internet platforms
00:06:53.51\00:06:56.48
and even a 24-hour
television network.
00:06:56.51\00:06:59.45
2017 saw the launch of
SUMTV and SUMTV Latino.
00:06:59.48\00:07:03.79
The year prior... God
had led in the purchase
00:07:03.82\00:07:08.12
of a Production Van
00:07:08.16\00:07:09.49
that we were
able to fully outfit
00:07:09.52\00:07:11.43
and put into service
completely free of debt.
00:07:11.46\00:07:14.20
This van aided us in
providing on-the-road
00:07:14.23\00:07:16.97
and remote
broadcast for network.
00:07:17.00\00:07:19.03
During these years,
solar panels were installed
00:07:19.07\00:07:21.67
at our offices and the
warehouse was completed.
00:07:21.70\00:07:24.27
Staff was added and
we began to experience
00:07:24.31\00:07:27.14
inevitable growth pains...
00:07:27.18\00:07:28.61
a challenge that we
wrestle with until today.
00:07:28.64\00:07:31.31
We are simply
running out of work space.
00:07:31.35\00:07:33.88
The demands of the
ministry are increasing
00:07:33.92\00:07:36.42
and we need more space...
00:07:36.45\00:07:37.79
more equipment
and more personnel
00:07:37.82\00:07:40.36
to meet these demands.
00:07:40.39\00:07:41.72
People who produce
television sometimes refer to it
00:07:41.76\00:07:44.79
as an insatiable monster
00:07:44.83\00:07:46.39
that is always
eating and never satisfied.
00:07:46.43\00:07:48.90
It is true that the
demands of full-time television
00:07:48.96\00:07:52.23
are daunting and
can be stressful.
00:07:52.27\00:07:54.14
The need for space
is an ongoing challenge.
00:07:54.17\00:07:56.77
As we increase our
staffing capabilities,
00:07:56.81\00:07:59.34
this needs is becoming critical.
00:07:59.37\00:08:01.24
Another critical need
is in the area of editing
00:08:01.31\00:08:04.58
and post production.
00:08:04.61\00:08:05.95
Currently we have four
editors working in one room.
00:08:05.98\00:08:09.25
This cramped situation
forced us to drastically reduce
00:08:09.28\00:08:12.75
our editing operations
00:08:12.79\00:08:14.12
during the recent
COVID-19 shutdown.
00:08:14.16\00:08:16.19
Working so close together is
not the best for general health
00:08:16.22\00:08:19.86
and encourages
the spread of disease.
00:08:19.89\00:08:22.06
God has blessed thus far
in keeping us disease free
00:08:22.10\00:08:26.00
but we don't want
to be presumptuous
00:08:26.03\00:08:28.30
with His blessings
or employee health.
00:08:28.34\00:08:30.54
In the last year, we have
added one Associate Speaker,
00:08:30.57\00:08:33.84
CA Murray...
00:08:33.88\00:08:35.21
and will shortly add
Pastor James Rafferty.
00:08:35.24\00:08:38.01
CA works at a small
desk in the Call Center
00:08:38.05\00:08:40.55
and no space has been allocated
for Pastor Rafferty as of yet.
00:08:40.58\00:08:44.12
All of these
situations highlight the need
00:08:44.15\00:08:47.09
to convert what
is now garage space
00:08:47.12\00:08:48.86
into much needed office space.
00:08:48.89\00:08:50.93
Nevertheless, we see
God's merciful and gracious hand
00:08:50.96\00:08:54.93
moving to support and
advance Secrets Unsealed.
00:08:54.96\00:08:57.63
One of the highlights of 2020
00:08:57.67\00:08:59.67
was a baptism...
former Catholic priest,
00:08:59.73\00:09:02.04
José Antonio Yorka
in the country of Spain.
00:09:02.07\00:09:04.97
He requested that Pastor Bohr
perform the ceremony personally.
00:09:05.01\00:09:08.71
Also, we were able to
conduct our 2020 Anchor's Class
00:09:08.74\00:09:12.58
which was the last public event
00:09:12.61\00:09:14.52
before the COVID-19 lockdown.
00:09:14.55\00:09:16.38
Pastors Bohr and
Murray have had the privilege
00:09:16.42\00:09:20.16
of conducting
scores of virtual meetings
00:09:20.19\00:09:22.59
and services across the
United States in America,
00:09:22.62\00:09:26.49
South America and Europe.
00:09:26.53\00:09:28.70
So, the ministry
continues to reach out
00:09:28.73\00:09:31.37
even in these
unusual and trying times.
00:09:31.40\00:09:33.97
It is a blessing to get notices
periodically that inform us
00:09:34.00\00:09:37.77
that people are
coming to the Lord
00:09:37.81\00:09:39.61
and joining the Adventist family
00:09:39.64\00:09:41.38
through the ministry of
Secrets Unsealed and SUMTV.
00:09:41.41\00:09:45.18
This is happening
in the United States
00:09:45.21\00:09:47.55
and across the globe.
00:09:47.58\00:09:49.02
We have compiled
a prioritized list
00:09:49.05\00:09:52.69
of the needs of the ministry.
00:09:52.72\00:09:54.12
These are tools that we
need to do the work of the Lord
00:09:54.16\00:09:57.36
effectively and efficiently.
00:09:57.43\00:09:59.06
We know that with
the blessings of God
00:09:59.09\00:10:01.46
coupled with your
prayers and financial support,
00:10:01.50\00:10:04.77
we will be able
to complete the task
00:10:04.80\00:10:07.40
that the Lord has given to
Secrets Unsealed and SUMTV.

through your
prayers and financial gifts
00:10:32.19\00:10:34.43
to support the

CA Murray: So, you
can see from the video
00:10:53.11\00:10:55.98
that God is doing
some exciting things.
00:10:56.02\00:10:58.85
Now, we have an announcement,
00:10:58.89\00:11:00.59
I'm going to
leave it to Pastor Bohr
00:11:00.62\00:11:02.29
to sort of kick it off.
00:11:02.32\00:11:03.66
We've gotten some information
just in the last 24 hours
00:11:03.69\00:11:09.33
that has really excited us
00:11:09.36\00:11:11.63
but before I
turn it over to him,
00:11:11.67\00:11:13.13
I just want to read the list
of places that we've heard from
00:11:13.17\00:11:18.17
just in the last year or so
00:11:18.21\00:11:20.28
that we know we are reaching...
00:11:20.31\00:11:22.28
these are continents and
cities that have contacted us
00:11:22.31\00:11:26.92
to tell us that our
ministry is being a blessing.
00:11:26.95\00:11:29.62
They include: Abu
Dhabi, Africa, Australia,
00:11:29.65\00:11:32.95
Barbados, Belgium,
Belize, Botswana, Brazil,
00:11:32.99\00:11:36.22
Canada, Columbia, Costa Rica,
00:11:36.26\00:11:38.29
Dominica,
Ecuador, Estonia, Ethiopia,
00:11:38.33\00:11:41.43
French Guyana,
Germany, Ghana, Grenada,
00:11:41.46\00:11:44.50
Holland, India,
Israel, Italy, Jamaica, Kenya,
00:11:44.53\00:11:48.27
Mauritius, Mexico, Nigeria,
00:11:48.30\00:11:50.31
Peru,
Philippines, Poland, Rwanda,
00:11:50.37\00:11:52.77
Sao Paulo, Algeria,
Saudi Arabia, South Africa,
00:11:52.81\00:11:57.55
Spain, Saint Lucia,
Sweden, Taiwan, Tanzania,
00:11:57.58\00:12:02.05
Tobago, Trinidad,
Uganda, United Kingdom,
00:12:02.08\00:12:06.55
USA... of course... and Zambia.
00:12:06.59\00:12:08.66
These are just
some of the places
00:12:08.69\00:12:10.69
where Secrets
Unsealed has been a blessing...
00:12:10.73\00:12:13.70
where SUMTV has been watched...
00:12:13.73\00:12:15.56
it has encouraged and changed
the lives of individuals.
00:12:15.63\00:12:18.60
So, we know
because they are telling us
00:12:18.63\00:12:21.24
that the ministry is
being a blessing to them
00:12:21.30\00:12:24.17
and that it is an integral
part of their walk with Christ
00:12:24.21\00:12:27.81
within their growth
as Seventh-day Adventists
00:12:27.84\00:12:30.75
and we are happy to hear
from all of these countries
00:12:30.78\00:12:33.25
and many, many more
00:12:33.28\00:12:34.62
where God has used this
ministry to be a blessing.
00:12:34.65\00:12:37.29
Pastor Bohr, I know that
00:12:37.32\00:12:39.22
something very,
very exciting happened
00:12:39.25\00:12:41.42
in the last 24 hours
that we want to talk about
00:12:41.46\00:12:43.63
and I'll leave you to sort
of launch that and kick it off.
00:12:43.66\00:12:47.20
Stephen: I'm
chomping at the bit.
00:12:47.23\00:12:48.56
CA Murray: Laughter...
00:12:48.60\00:12:50.07
Stephen: I've got
to stand for this one.
00:12:50.10\00:12:51.93
Folks, several years ago,
00:12:51.97\00:12:55.50
right after we
started the ministry,
00:12:55.54\00:12:58.04
Aileen and I were
speaking in her office
00:12:58.07\00:13:00.51
and we said, "Some day,
00:13:00.54\00:13:02.98
the Lord is going
to impress someone
00:13:03.01\00:13:06.21
to donate a million
dollars to Secrets Unsealed. "
00:13:06.25\00:13:10.29
Well, we haven't
exactly gotten a million dollars
00:13:10.32\00:13:14.29
from any one donor,
but we have good news
00:13:14.32\00:13:16.32
and that is, that on Friday,
00:13:16.39\00:13:19.83
we received notice
from one of our supporters
00:13:19.86\00:13:23.37
that he is willing to
put up a million dollars
00:13:23.40\00:13:26.84
on a matching basis
00:13:26.87\00:13:28.20
which means that if we are able
to raise five thousand dollars,
00:13:28.24\00:13:33.78
it will equal ten thousand...
00:13:33.81\00:13:35.64
if we're able to
raise a million...
00:13:35.68\00:13:38.18
it will be two million
00:13:38.21\00:13:40.05
and so, the
prayers that Aileen and I
00:13:40.08\00:13:44.32
have been raising to the
Lord for many, many years
00:13:44.35\00:13:46.49
have come to fruition
00:13:46.55\00:13:48.49
and so, any donations that
are made during this Program
00:13:48.52\00:13:53.16
and actually after
the Program as well,
00:13:53.19\00:13:55.50
will go towards that
match of a million dollars.
00:13:55.53\00:13:59.57
So, God is working
in a powerful way...
00:13:59.60\00:14:02.47
I trust that the Lord
will impress our hearts
00:14:02.50\00:14:05.84
to be generous
00:14:05.87\00:14:07.24
so that we can not
only receive the million
00:14:07.28\00:14:09.58
but two million
00:14:09.61\00:14:10.95
because the ministry has
many, many needs at this time.
00:14:10.98\00:14:13.58
CA Murray: This is
truly exciting news.
00:14:13.62\00:14:17.95
The idea that
whatever is sent in...
00:14:17.99\00:14:22.26
whatever is raised... whatever
you donate to the ministry,
00:14:22.32\00:14:25.26
will be matched up
to one million dollars
00:14:25.29\00:14:29.83
and so, this is the
kind of news that excites us
00:14:29.86\00:14:33.50
and lets us know
that God is in control...
00:14:33.54\00:14:36.94
that the Lord is leading.
00:14:36.97\00:14:38.31
All we need now is your
help... your cooperation...
00:14:38.34\00:14:42.51
your partnership to help
us raise as much as we can...
00:14:42.54\00:14:46.88
as quickly as we can
00:14:46.92\00:14:48.38
so that it can be
matched by this generous donor
00:14:48.42\00:14:51.45
and the work of
God can continue.
00:14:51.49\00:14:54.12
As you saw at
the end of the video,
00:14:54.16\00:14:56.73
we have a number of
things that need to be done
00:14:56.76\00:15:00.63
and, of course, one
of the most critical
00:15:00.66\00:15:02.76
and needed
things is... is space...
00:15:02.80\00:15:06.50
we are growing... we
are adding personnel...
00:15:06.53\00:15:10.11
we need more personnel
and we need to convert space
00:15:10.14\00:15:14.34
into useable workspace
00:15:14.38\00:15:16.41
so that the work
of God can be done.
00:15:16.44\00:15:19.01
Pastor, we were
looking at and talking about
00:15:19.08\00:15:21.28
some of the things
that Secrets Unsealed...
00:15:21.32\00:15:24.15
some of the services
that Secrets Unsealed provides
00:15:24.19\00:15:27.62
and provides at very low
cost... extremely reasonably...
00:15:27.66\00:15:33.16
I'm looking at the Prompter
00:15:33.19\00:15:35.76
and we have
downloadable Study Notes.
00:15:35.80\00:15:38.33
Now, I have to...
to, you know, they say,
00:15:38.37\00:15:40.84
"Give a person their flowers
while they can smell them... "
00:15:40.90\00:15:43.10
and... and since arriving here
00:15:43.14\00:15:45.77
and, of course, I
was aware of this before
00:15:45.84\00:15:48.31
but I became keenly
aware since arriving here
00:15:48.34\00:15:50.78
you produced an extremely
large amount of Study Materials
00:15:50.81\00:15:55.88
to go with the... the videos
00:15:55.92\00:15:58.42
and the different
sermons that you preach...
00:15:58.45\00:16:00.39
I don't think you preach...
00:16:00.42\00:16:01.76
ever preach a sermon
without producing Study Notes
00:16:01.79\00:16:04.26
to go with that
00:16:04.29\00:16:05.66
and... and dare I
say, copious Study Notes
00:16:05.69\00:16:08.33
and we make them available.
00:16:08.36\00:16:10.33
They are available very
reasonably, aren't they?
00:16:10.37\00:16:14.14
Stephen: You know, we
have thousands of pages...
00:16:14.17\00:16:17.91
we have about 40
Study Notes in English
00:16:17.94\00:16:21.38
some of them as
much as five or 600 pages
00:16:21.41\00:16:24.81
and we have several
Study Notes also in Spanish
00:16:24.85\00:16:29.38
and, you know, at
first we actually sold these
00:16:29.42\00:16:33.72
but we came into a
problem and that is that
00:16:33.76\00:16:37.03
people who ordered
them from other countries...
00:16:37.06\00:16:39.76
the shipping was more
than the Study Notes...
00:16:39.79\00:16:42.40
and so, very few were
benefitting from the Study Notes
00:16:42.43\00:16:46.47
so, we decided probably
about three or four years ago,
00:16:46.50\00:16:50.47
that we would
put them all online
00:16:50.51\00:16:52.67
and let people not
only read them online
00:16:52.71\00:16:55.44
but also download them
and share them if they want to
00:16:55.48\00:16:59.08
at no cost whatsoever to them.
00:16:59.11\00:17:01.08
So, we have them
all on our website...
00:17:01.12\00:17:03.59
people can go to our website
00:17:03.62\00:17:05.65
and they can download
these materials for free.
00:17:05.69\00:17:07.86
CA Murray: Hmmm... hmmm...
so they at no cost to them
00:17:07.92\00:17:10.29
but there is some cost to us...
00:17:10.33\00:17:11.66
when you put things up
and they are downloaded,
00:17:11.69\00:17:13.50
there is... there is
some expense that is entailed
00:17:13.56\00:17:16.26
for the person
providing that service
00:17:16.30\00:17:18.53
so, that's one of the
things that also that we do...
00:17:18.57\00:17:22.00
that we like to do
because it makes it available.
00:17:22.04\00:17:25.41
I like when I have
notes in my hand...
00:17:25.44\00:17:29.64
I've always got to
have a pen in my hand...
00:17:29.68\00:17:31.58
I like to add notes to
those... kind of thing...
00:17:31.61\00:17:34.58
I cannot go through it
without a pen or underliner
00:17:34.62\00:17:37.52
or a highlighter or a marker
of some sort in... in hand,
00:17:37.55\00:17:40.96
so, you can get the sermon...
00:17:41.02\00:17:42.56
you can get the DVD...
you can watch it on YouTube...
00:17:42.59\00:17:45.16
or any one of the platforms
00:17:45.19\00:17:48.63
and then you've got the
notes right there to... to...
00:17:48.66\00:17:51.13
to make additional
notes for yourselves
00:17:51.20\00:17:53.07
so that you can... you
can teach it if you want...
00:17:53.13\00:17:55.30
you certainly can memorize it or
make it part of your own life.
00:17:55.34\00:17:58.04
That's a service that is
provided by Secrets Unsealed
00:17:58.07\00:18:01.68
that... that we do
00:18:01.71\00:18:03.61
because we know it is
of benefit to those of you
00:18:03.65\00:18:07.82
who are watching
and who are listening.
00:18:07.88\00:18:09.78
Stephen: You know, CA, before
we go on with some of the things
00:18:09.82\00:18:12.79
that Secrets Unsealed is doing,
00:18:12.82\00:18:14.16
we firmly believe
00:18:14.19\00:18:16.26
that we are living in
the last remnant of time...
00:18:16.32\00:18:19.29
and whatever we don't do now,
we're not going to be able to do
00:18:19.33\00:18:23.16
because more and more
we're seeing, for example,
00:18:23.20\00:18:27.00
freedom of speech curtailed
00:18:27.04\00:18:28.50
and with our message
which is not super popular,
00:18:28.54\00:18:31.74
we know eventually, some day
this is going to be shut down
00:18:31.77\00:18:35.64
and so, we feel
a sense of urgency
00:18:35.68\00:18:38.71
to get the message out
in as many ways that we can
00:18:38.75\00:18:42.12
while we can.
00:18:42.15\00:18:43.49
That's what drives us...
00:18:43.52\00:18:45.42
in other words, it's
not just having a big empire
00:18:45.45\00:18:48.26
or great big Facility
with lots of employees,
00:18:48.29\00:18:51.03
with business as usual...
00:18:51.09\00:18:53.60
our purpose for our existence
00:18:53.63\00:18:56.56
is to share the last message...
00:18:56.60\00:18:58.50
the three angels'
message with the world
00:18:58.53\00:19:00.14
because we know
the time is coming
00:19:00.17\00:19:01.87
when it's going to
be much more difficult.
00:19:01.90\00:19:03.57
CA Murray: Yes,
which is also why...
00:19:03.61\00:19:05.24
and in a little bit we're
going to read some letters
00:19:05.27\00:19:07.34
while we are... we ask for...
we are so happy to get letters
00:19:07.38\00:19:11.21
because they let
us know... e- mails...
00:19:11.25\00:19:13.55
however you want to
contact us or call us...
00:19:13.58\00:19:15.88
they let us know that what
we're doing is of benefit...
00:19:15.95\00:19:19.15
you know, you're
giving... you're writing...
00:19:19.19\00:19:21.32
you're studying...
you're producing...
00:19:21.36\00:19:23.22
it's nice to hear
back and to know...
00:19:23.26\00:19:25.06
"Yeah, what you're
doing is a blessing
00:19:25.09\00:19:26.90
so when we get those...
00:19:26.93\00:19:28.26
we are... we are very
covetous of getting responses
00:19:28.30\00:19:31.53
because they let us
know that what we're doing
00:19:31.57\00:19:34.10
is being appreciated
00:19:34.14\00:19:35.47
and that God is
using the Ministry
00:19:35.50\00:19:37.54
to bless so many lives.
00:19:37.57\00:19:38.94
Another thing that...
service that we provide
00:19:38.97\00:19:43.51
are free Remnant Study
Bibles for... for prisoners.
00:19:43.55\00:19:46.95
Stephen: Yeah.
00:19:46.98\00:19:48.32
CA Murray: A wonderful thing
00:19:48.35\00:19:49.68
and if you have
seen or have heard of
00:19:49.72\00:19:52.39
or have handled a
Remnant Study Bible,
00:19:52.42\00:19:55.39
you know that this is
not a flimsy sort of...
00:19:55.42\00:19:58.86
when I was in New York...
00:19:58.89\00:20:00.96
we could get Bibles for as
little as two dollars apiece,
00:20:01.00\00:20:03.80
you know.
00:20:03.83\00:20:05.23
Stephen: And they
fell apart very quickly.
00:20:05.27\00:20:06.60
CA Murray: Yeah, that
lasted for about a year or so,
00:20:06.63\00:20:07.97
but, you know, if
you want to give out
00:20:08.00\00:20:09.34
a massive amount of Bibles,
00:20:09.37\00:20:10.71
you can go to the
American Bible Society
00:20:10.74\00:20:12.27
and get Bibles in bulk
for two dollars apiece.
00:20:12.31\00:20:14.54
The Remnant Study Bible
is not a two-dollar Bible...
00:20:14.58\00:20:17.08
not even close.
00:20:17.11\00:20:18.45
Stephen: It's expensive.
00:20:18.48\00:20:20.18
CA Murray: It's
an expensive Bible...
00:20:20.22\00:20:21.68
it's a well-put-together Bible.
00:20:21.72\00:20:23.22
The materials are...
are... are well put together...
00:20:23.25\00:20:27.46
but then the information...
it is a Study Bible
00:20:27.49\00:20:30.36
and you'll see in
some of the letters
00:20:30.39\00:20:33.09
that we'll read in
just a little bit...
00:20:33.13\00:20:34.46
it is very, very
prized and coveted
00:20:34.50\00:20:36.56
particularly by prisoners
00:20:36.60\00:20:38.27
who don't often get
a chance to get a Bible
00:20:38.30\00:20:40.60
and I don't think we've ever
sent out a Remnant Study Bible,
00:20:40.64\00:20:43.24
Pastor, to a prisoner
00:20:43.27\00:20:44.61
who has not sent back and said,
"Thank you for this Bible...
00:20:44.64\00:20:47.84
never had a Bible quite like
this before in all my life. "
00:20:47.88\00:20:51.08
Stephan: Many of
them do. CA Murray: Yes.
00:20:51.11\00:20:52.45
Stephen: And we not only
provide free Study Bibles,
00:20:52.48\00:20:56.15
we also provide free
DVDs... entire Series of DVDs...
00:20:56.18\00:20:59.75
so, they can watch our
programming for free in prison.
00:20:59.79\00:21:03.32
CA Murray: Hmmm...
hmmm... hmmm... hmmm...
00:21:03.36\00:21:04.93
and it is a great
blessing to prisoners...
00:21:04.96\00:21:06.43
many prisoners have stabilized
their walk with Christ...
00:21:06.49\00:21:10.13
have come to the Lord
00:21:10.17\00:21:11.50
through the
materials that they have gotten
00:21:11.53\00:21:13.23
from Secrets Unsealed and SUMTV.
00:21:13.27\00:21:15.64
Stephen: You
know, we even get...
00:21:15.70\00:21:18.01
we even get
donations from prisoners
00:21:18.04\00:21:20.58
and you know they don't
make a lot of money in prison
00:21:20.61\00:21:24.25
but we get donations on a
regular basis from prisoners
00:21:24.28\00:21:27.88
who get paid very little.
00:21:27.92\00:21:32.02
CA Murray: Very little...
very little... very little...
00:21:32.05\00:21:34.02
another service
that we provide, Pastor,
00:21:34.06\00:21:37.46
are the DVDs of just about
everything that is broadcast
00:21:37.49\00:21:41.33
on SUMTV.
00:21:41.36\00:21:42.70
We have slashed
prices on the DVDs...
00:21:42.73\00:21:46.30
talk to us a little bit
about... about why that was done
00:21:46.33\00:21:48.70
and the mindset behind
the slashing of prices.
00:21:48.74\00:21:51.27
Stephen: Yeah, when
we started our ministry,
00:21:51.31\00:21:53.78
we were totally unknown,
00:21:53.81\00:21:55.51
so, how could we sustain
the ministry financially?
00:21:55.54\00:22:00.05
We had to produce programming
and DVDs and sell them
00:22:00.08\00:22:04.55
because we were unknown
00:22:04.59\00:22:06.39
but as time went by
00:22:06.42\00:22:08.19
and Secrets
Unsealed became better known,
00:22:08.22\00:22:10.43
people started
donating to the ministry
00:22:10.46\00:22:12.59
and we started making ends meet
00:22:12.63\00:22:17.63
and so, basically,
what we decided is...
00:22:17.67\00:22:21.17
you know, we're not going
to depend on sales any more,
00:22:21.20\00:22:23.77
because we're
receiving donations
00:22:23.81\00:22:26.04
for the ministry to function
00:22:26.07\00:22:27.41
so, we decided that
we would slash the prices
00:22:27.44\00:22:31.08
of all of the DVD Series.
00:22:31.11\00:22:32.75
If you go to our catalogue,
you'll find that our DVDs
00:22:32.81\00:22:36.15
are the cheapest of any
ministry that you have out there
00:22:36.18\00:22:39.49
and it's not... I'm not speaking
badly about other ministries
00:22:39.52\00:22:42.62
but we want to
provide the material
00:22:42.66\00:22:46.09
so that people
share it and take it out.
00:22:46.13\00:22:49.60
You know, we don't
want to make money...
00:22:49.63\00:22:53.03
we... of course we want
to pay for the material...
00:22:53.07\00:22:55.57
we don't want to work at a loss
00:22:55.60\00:22:57.21
but we want the material
to get out as much as possible
00:22:57.24\00:23:01.28
and that's why we want to make
it as inexpensive as possible.
00:23:01.31\00:23:04.55
CA Murray:
Hmmm... hmmm... hmmm...
00:23:04.58\00:23:05.91
and we thank
the Lord for that...
00:23:05.95\00:23:07.28
that was a wise decision
00:23:07.32\00:23:08.65
and it helps get
the materials out
00:23:08.68\00:23:10.65
into the hands of
those who need to have it.
00:23:10.69\00:23:12.69
Now, while we are talking
about monies going and coming,
00:23:12.72\00:23:16.83
perhaps we
ought to take a moment
00:23:16.86\00:23:18.99
and talk about
how our Viewers...
00:23:19.03\00:23:21.10
our listeners can send
into this matching fund...
00:23:21.16\00:23:25.03
how they can contact
us and become part of that
00:23:25.07\00:23:28.90
because we are... we are
looking for contacts even now
00:23:28.94\00:23:32.61
while this Program is on...
00:23:32.67\00:23:34.18
we would be most blessed
00:23:34.21\00:23:35.68
and pleased to have
you contact us even now
00:23:35.71\00:23:38.98
with your
donation... with your gift
00:23:39.01\00:23:41.18
and all of this, of
course, will be matched
00:23:41.25\00:23:43.75
by this generous
donor who has pledged
00:23:43.79\00:23:46.79
this amount of
money for matching funds
00:23:46.82\00:23:49.79
for upkeep and for
00:23:49.82\00:23:51.66
different things
here at Secrets Unsealed
00:23:51.69\00:23:55.16
part of the
million-dollar match.
00:23:55.20\00:23:57.20
Let's...
let's... this is live TV
00:23:57.23\00:23:59.17
so let's... let's
put this up on the screen
00:23:59.20\00:24:01.60
so we can see the different ways
00:24:01.64\00:24:03.64
that we can be contacted
00:24:03.71\00:24:08.04
for those who want to be part
of our million-dollar match.
00:24:08.08\00:24:13.21
Stephen: I just want to mention
CA that our Call Center is open.
00:24:13.25\00:24:16.15
CA Murray: Ah ha...
00:24:16.18\00:24:17.52
Stephen: We have individuals
00:24:17.55\00:24:18.89
who are going to be
answering the phones...
00:24:18.92\00:24:20.46
if somebody wants to
make a donation by phone,
00:24:20.49\00:24:22.16
they can do it now as we speak.
00:24:22.19\00:24:23.59
CA Murray: Hmmm... hmmm...
and we would encourage you to...
00:24:23.63\00:24:26.33
to do that... to make that call
00:24:26.36\00:24:29.60
and I know it's coming
00:24:29.63\00:24:32.77
maybe while they're
getting it together,
00:24:32.80\00:24:35.00
we can look at some
of these other things
00:24:35.04\00:24:37.21
that we are trying to do.
00:24:37.24\00:24:38.57
Stephen: There it is... CA
Murray: Ah there we go, okay,
00:24:38.61\00:24:41.04
Call Center open...
00:24:41.08\00:24:42.88
we're looking at: 559-264-2300
00:24:42.91\00:24:49.72
559-264-2300...
00:24:49.75\00:24:53.39
you can call that even as we
speak while this Program is on,
00:24:53.42\00:24:56.99
and you can pledge an
amount... donate an amount
00:24:57.03\00:25:01.96
and, of course,
that will be matched.
00:25:02.00\00:25:04.57
You've got a
letter... someone...
00:25:04.60\00:25:07.14
and this... this
happened today in response
00:25:07.17\00:25:10.64
to an e-mail that went out
that you may want to talk about,
00:25:10.67\00:25:14.88
that's an exciting letter.
00:25:14.91\00:25:16.24
Stephen: This is
an amazing letter...
00:25:16.28\00:25:17.61
you know if people are
watching on the screen,
00:25:17.65\00:25:19.98
you're going to
find the different ways
00:25:20.02\00:25:21.35
in which you can donate...
00:25:21.38\00:25:22.72
I notice there that they
can text to donate as well,
00:25:22.75\00:25:25.32
and you'll be seeing
that as I read this letter
00:25:25.35\00:25:27.42
received this morning.
00:25:27.46\00:25:28.99
"Good morning,
00:25:29.02\00:25:30.86
today, I was about to
continue reading my book,
00:25:30.89\00:25:34.50
The Great Controversy in Spanish
00:25:34.53\00:25:37.00
when I heard an
alarm from my phone
00:25:37.03\00:25:39.47
and decided to open
to check the e-mails
00:25:39.50\00:25:41.80
and I started
reading the e-mails
00:25:41.84\00:25:44.17
sent by Secrets Unsealed
00:25:44.21\00:25:46.81
and the message said this,
00:25:46.84\00:25:49.34
'Urgent Need: we need your
help now more than ever before
00:25:49.41\00:25:52.91
not only through prayer but
with your financial support.
00:25:52.95\00:25:56.45
Here is the reason why:
00:25:56.48\00:25:58.32
A generous Secrets
Unsealed Supporter has pledged
00:25:58.35\00:26:01.92
to match your
tax-deductible gift
00:26:01.99\00:26:04.26
of any amount...
dollar for dollar
00:26:04.29\00:26:06.53
up to a million dollars... '"
00:26:06.56\00:26:07.93
it continues:
"After reading the e-mail"
00:26:07.96\00:26:10.87
this individual wrote,
00:26:10.90\00:26:12.23
"I opened The Great
Controversy in Spanish
00:26:12.27\00:26:14.40
to continue reading where
I left off previously... "
00:26:14.44\00:26:17.81
that's before I
started reading the e-mail
00:26:17.84\00:26:20.14
and to my surprise the first
page paragraph said this... "
00:26:20.18\00:26:24.65
I'm not going to
read it in Spanish...
00:26:24.68\00:26:27.32
it's originally in Spanish,
00:26:27.35\00:26:28.68
I'm going to read
the English translation,
00:26:28.72\00:26:30.05
"In this time of worldliness
and pleasure seeking,
00:26:30.09\00:26:34.76
self-denial and
self-sacrifice for Christ's sake
00:26:34.79\00:26:39.66
are almost wholly lost.
00:26:39.69\00:26:41.66
Some of the men and
women now in active life
00:26:41.70\00:26:44.83
in our churches were
educated when children
00:26:44.87\00:26:47.97
to make sacrifices
00:26:48.00\00:26:49.90
in order to be able to give
or do something for Christ. "
00:26:49.94\00:26:53.74
That's the way it used to be.
00:26:53.78\00:26:55.64
Then he continues writing...
00:26:55.68\00:26:59.41
ah... let me see here...
00:26:59.45\00:27:03.12
okay, so, once
again I'll go back...
00:27:03.18\00:27:06.19
"But if funds are wanted now,
00:27:06.22\00:27:09.02
nobody must be
called on to give,
00:27:09.06\00:27:12.46
oh no! have a Fair... tableau...
00:27:12.49\00:27:15.66
mock trial...
antiquarian supper...
00:27:15.73\00:27:18.87
or something to eat...
00:27:18.90\00:27:20.24
anything to amuse the people. "
00:27:20.27\00:27:22.20
That's the method these days...
00:27:22.24\00:27:24.01
and then he ends by saying,
00:27:24.04\00:27:25.74
"First I
thought to give 1,000...
00:27:25.77\00:27:28.01
but after calling my wife
00:27:28.04\00:27:30.01
and asked her to read the
e-mail from Secrets Unsealed,
00:27:30.05\00:27:34.25
and the page in the Spanish
where I have explained above"
00:27:34.28\00:27:38.42
that is from The
Great Controversy...
00:27:38.45\00:27:40.06
"I told her that I was
planning to donate 1,000... "
00:27:40.09\00:27:43.49
praise the Lord
for Godly wives...
00:27:43.53\00:27:46.06
"and she said, 'Give more... '
00:27:46.09\00:27:48.93
so, I decided to donate $2,000.
00:27:48.96\00:27:51.80
May God bless you. "
00:27:51.83\00:27:53.17
CA Murray: Amen... amen...
00:27:53.20\00:27:54.54
so, that $2,000 will
be matched by $2,000...
00:27:54.57\00:27:59.61
2,000 then becomes 4...
00:27:59.64\00:28:01.74
that's what we are
encouraging you to do.
00:28:01.78\00:28:04.18
If you're looking at
the bottom of the screen,
00:28:04.21\00:28:07.02
you see the sequence as
to how you can contact us
00:28:07.05\00:28:09.75
through the various methods
in the million-dollar match...
00:28:09.78\00:28:13.66
so, we encourage you.
00:28:13.69\00:28:15.49
Call us even now...
the phones are open...
00:28:15.52\00:28:19.46
they will be open from
8 to 6 during week days
00:28:19.49\00:28:23.40
Monday, Tuesday,
Wednesday, Thursday...
00:28:23.43\00:28:25.43
and that's Pacific time
00:28:25.47\00:28:27.64
and you can call and make
your donation at that time
00:28:27.70\00:28:32.37
or you can contact us through
these various other methods
00:28:32.41\00:28:37.35
and become part of this.
00:28:37.38\00:28:39.45
This is exciting and
we are praying to God
00:28:39.48\00:28:42.52
for a rich bounty
00:28:42.58\00:28:44.55
as the Lord lays
it upon your heart
00:28:44.59\00:28:47.06
to partner with us.
00:28:47.09\00:28:48.42
There's much
there has to be done.
00:28:48.46\00:28:49.79
Stephen: By the way, the donor
00:28:49.82\00:28:51.49
has not given us a cut-off date
00:28:51.53\00:28:53.40
for when people can donate.
00:28:53.43\00:28:55.76
So, he's not saying,
"You have to donate today
00:28:55.80\00:28:58.20
or else it won't be matched... "
00:28:58.23\00:29:00.04
he says... he's going to
keep it open for several days.
00:29:00.07\00:29:02.30
CA Murray: Praise the Lord...
00:29:02.34\00:29:03.67
we'd like you
to donate right now
00:29:03.71\00:29:05.04
but if you're praying about it
00:29:05.07\00:29:06.57
and you're planning on
donating tomorrow morning,
00:29:06.61\00:29:08.98
it will still be there
00:29:09.01\00:29:10.35
and he hasn't given
us a cut-off date...
00:29:10.38\00:29:12.15
praise the Lord for that.
00:29:12.18\00:29:13.52
Stephen: Amen.
00:29:13.55\00:29:15.15
CA Murray: For his generosity...
00:29:15.18\00:29:16.52
just a couple of
other things Pastor
00:29:16.55\00:29:18.59
before we talk about
our... our... our needs...
00:29:18.62\00:29:22.09
Pastoral Department
that answers questions...
00:29:22.12\00:29:25.53
we have a number of
individuals who answer questions
00:29:25.56\00:29:30.03
and sometimes for
difficult questions,
00:29:30.07\00:29:31.90
they come through to me
00:29:31.93\00:29:33.27
or come through
to you and... and...
00:29:33.30\00:29:35.50
we put in a little
time with that also...
00:29:35.54\00:29:38.24
mostly because we realize
that time is very, very short
00:29:38.27\00:29:41.91
and when people call in
with pastoral questions,
00:29:41.94\00:29:44.51
they aren't usually
very light questions...
00:29:44.55\00:29:46.72
they're very
serious questions...
00:29:46.75\00:29:48.08
they're having problems...
00:29:48.12\00:29:49.45
they're having
challenges in their life...
00:29:49.48\00:29:51.52
on their job...
in their marriages...
00:29:51.55\00:29:53.36
in their homes...
00:29:53.39\00:29:54.72
things that they
need to talk with someone
00:29:54.76\00:29:56.66
who has some
experience in the Word of God,
00:29:56.69\00:29:59.19
so that is a service
that is provided also.
00:29:59.23\00:30:02.10
Stephen: Yes and
the person who responds
00:30:02.13\00:30:04.93
to most of the questions is
Larry Pyburn, Aileen's husband.
00:30:05.00\00:30:08.20
CA Murray: Yes.
00:30:08.24\00:30:09.57
Stephen: We have Melvin
do it once in a while too
00:30:09.60\00:30:11.11
and I'll answer a few questions,
00:30:11.14\00:30:12.67
I could never answer them all
because we get 100s every week
00:30:12.71\00:30:15.94
but it's a service that we
provide... a free service...
00:30:15.98\00:30:18.78
you can call in your questions
or you can text your questions
00:30:18.81\00:30:22.95
or you can just send us
your questions by snail mail
00:30:22.98\00:30:26.55
and we will get to them...
00:30:26.62\00:30:28.82
Larry is very good
about answering the questions.
00:30:28.86\00:30:30.66
CA Murray: Here is something
that is... is in my notes...
00:30:30.69\00:30:34.43
God has blessed this ministry
00:30:34.46\00:30:36.56
I want you to just talk
about this for a second, Pastor,
00:30:36.60\00:30:38.20
if you will...
00:30:38.23\00:30:39.57
has operated in the
black for 18 years...
00:30:39.60\00:30:42.57
we... we haven't spent
money that we have not had
00:30:42.60\00:30:46.27
but God has always provided
00:30:46.31\00:30:48.51
so that we've had what
we needed when we needed.
00:30:48.54\00:30:51.91
Stephen: And
that's literally true.
00:30:51.95\00:30:53.88
CA Murray: Yes.
00:30:53.92\00:30:55.25
Stephen: You know,
when we just got started,
00:30:55.28\00:30:57.32
the time came when we
had to pay a certain amount
00:30:57.35\00:30:59.22
for a piece of
equipment that we had ordered,
00:30:59.25\00:31:02.29
we didn't have the
money until the very day
00:31:02.32\00:31:05.33
where we needed the money
00:31:05.36\00:31:06.70
and that happened more than once
00:31:06.73\00:31:08.46
and we have never,
never had any debt.
00:31:08.50\00:31:12.63
Everything that we've
done through the power of God,
00:31:12.70\00:31:16.44
has been debt free.
00:31:16.50\00:31:18.71
CA Murray: And we
praise the Lord for that.
00:31:18.74\00:31:20.21
So, that's says that those
making the financial decisions,
00:31:20.24\00:31:25.61
have been responsible
00:31:25.65\00:31:27.78
with the money
that has been turned in.
00:31:27.82\00:31:29.98
Nobody is flying on
private jets anywhere...
00:31:30.02\00:31:33.15
nobody is taking long,
extravagant vacations...
00:31:33.19\00:31:37.83
in fact, you don't
take much vacations at all.
00:31:37.86\00:31:40.60
Laughter...
00:31:40.63\00:31:42.90
Stephen: And I don't
drive a Mercedes either.
00:31:42.93\00:31:45.07
CA Murray: Praise the
Lord, and I've seen your car...
00:31:45.10\00:31:46.94
it's not a Mercedes and...
and that's not the mindset here,
00:31:46.97\00:31:51.04
we are very, very
cognizant of the fact
00:31:51.07\00:31:53.41
that Christ is coming soon.
00:31:53.44\00:31:54.78
Stephen: Amen.
00:31:54.81\00:31:56.14
CA Murray: And every dime that
can be squeezed out in service
00:31:56.18\00:31:58.31
of that second
coming is done so.
00:31:58.35\00:32:01.02
Stephen: And the
people who donate to us,
00:32:01.05\00:32:03.15
they... they trust us
00:32:03.18\00:32:05.02
because when they send
us money that's earmarked
00:32:05.05\00:32:08.72
for any certain thing,
00:32:08.76\00:32:10.09
they know that that
money is going to go
00:32:10.13\00:32:12.63
specifically for that
00:32:12.66\00:32:14.00
and they know that we
are fiscally responsible,
00:32:14.03\00:32:16.60
you know, that
we're... we don't overspend...
00:32:16.63\00:32:19.40
we don't buy
anything for luxury sake...
00:32:19.43\00:32:21.90
we buy what's necessary
00:32:21.94\00:32:23.57
and once again,
it's all paid for.
00:32:23.61\00:32:25.57
CA Murray: Yes, praise the Lord.
00:32:25.61\00:32:27.54
The SUMTV App
needs to be updated...
00:32:27.58\00:32:31.85
Secrets Unsealed App
00:32:31.88\00:32:33.82
and the cost of
the Anchor Class...
00:32:33.85\00:32:37.45
you know there are a
number of things that we are...
00:32:37.49\00:32:39.32
are providing...
00:32:39.35\00:32:40.69
a number of services
that are being provided
00:32:40.72\00:32:43.59
that are of low cost
or no cost to the consumer
00:32:43.63\00:32:46.80
but are certainly
of cost to the ministry
00:32:46.83\00:32:49.40
and have to be paid for.
00:32:49.43\00:32:51.07
Stephen: Could I
mention a couple of those...
00:32:51.10\00:32:52.43
I'd like to know...
00:32:52.47\00:32:53.80
that's a program
that you and I do...
00:32:53.84\00:32:57.67
and pretty soon, James
Rafferty is going to join us...
00:32:57.71\00:32:59.81
we're going to
have a threesome there
00:32:59.84\00:33:01.18
to answer the
questions that people send us,
00:33:01.21\00:33:03.04
you can send us questions
00:33:03.08\00:33:04.45
and, you know,
to us specifically,
00:33:04.48\00:33:07.35
and we'll
answer them on the air.
00:33:07.38\00:33:10.22
We have a live program...
00:33:10.29\00:33:12.05
half our program
where we do that...
00:33:12.09\00:33:13.52
the other thing that I
would like to mention is
00:33:13.56\00:33:16.89
our weekly Sabbath
School Worship Service
00:33:16.93\00:33:20.26
during the... the COVID problem.
00:33:20.30\00:33:22.33
Do you want to say
something about that CA?
00:33:22.36\00:33:24.33
CA Murray: Well, we
started out actually...
00:33:24.40\00:33:26.33
we didn't know...
00:33:26.37\00:33:27.70
the world didn't know how
long COVID was going to last,
00:33:27.77\00:33:30.74
so, we made the determination
that we would do...
00:33:30.77\00:33:33.48
originally I think we
were going to do eight weeks...
00:33:33.51\00:33:36.18
then eight weeks was extended...
00:33:36.21\00:33:38.41
that started in March... it
is now latter end of October
00:33:38.45\00:33:41.98
and we're still doing it.
00:33:42.02\00:33:43.35
Every Sabbath... full service...
00:33:43.39\00:33:45.19
Sabbath
School... Special Music...
00:33:45.25\00:33:47.42
Children's Story...
00:33:47.46\00:33:48.79
Worship Service...
00:33:48.82\00:33:50.16
and we have gotten...
00:33:50.19\00:33:51.53
we have gotten word
from across the world
00:33:51.56\00:33:54.10
that this has
been well-received...
00:33:54.13\00:33:56.60
well appreciated...
00:33:56.63\00:33:58.13
it's an integral part of
the Sabbath worship experience
00:33:58.17\00:34:02.87
for many people
who are homebound
00:34:02.90\00:34:04.47
and are not
able to go to church.
00:34:04.51\00:34:06.04
Stephen: Yeah, in fact we get
letters from people begging us
00:34:06.07\00:34:08.88
to not stop doing it.
00:34:08.91\00:34:10.58
Laughter...
00:34:10.61\00:34:12.71
CA Murray: I would
say, "Praise the Lord. "
00:34:12.78\00:34:14.55
Stephen: Because we
have a lot of people
00:34:14.58\00:34:16.12
that are shut-ins...
00:34:16.15\00:34:17.82
we have older people that
are not able to go to church
00:34:17.85\00:34:20.22
and, you know,
it's a blessing for them
00:34:20.26\00:34:22.59
to be able to tune in
00:34:22.62\00:34:23.96
and watch a full Sabbath
School and a Worship Service.
00:34:23.99\00:34:26.39
CA Murray: Hmmm...
hmmm... hmmm... hmmm...
00:34:26.46\00:34:27.80
Stephen: So, you know, I...
00:34:27.83\00:34:29.53
I trust that we'll
be able to continue
00:34:29.56\00:34:31.47
to provide this
service free of charge
00:34:31.50\00:34:33.37
for everyone who
wants to tune in.
00:34:33.40\00:34:35.24
CA Murray: Yes, we... you
know, we talk about this...
00:34:35.27\00:34:37.77
this idea of
producing for television...
00:34:37.81\00:34:40.34
it is a... an insatiable
monster that has to be fed 24/7.
00:34:40.38\00:34:46.95
it takes a lot of input
00:34:46.98\00:34:49.95
to get 24 hours of
output for viewing...
00:34:49.98\00:34:54.19
and when we... as we segue
into what some of our needs are,
00:34:54.22\00:34:58.29
that is one of the
most critical of our needs.
00:34:58.33\00:35:01.96
We're going to need
personnel for editing...
00:35:02.00\00:35:05.23
and we're going to
need space to get that done.
00:35:05.30\00:35:08.50
You want to talk a
little bit about that?
00:35:08.54\00:35:09.90
Stephen: Yeah,
let me say something
00:35:09.94\00:35:11.27
about post-production editing,
00:35:11.31\00:35:12.64
you know, when we do a
Series like an Anchor's Series,
00:35:12.67\00:35:15.38
we... we broadcast it live
00:35:15.41\00:35:18.01
but then we don't continue
broadcasting it after that.
00:35:18.05\00:35:21.62
because there's certain
little details, you know,
00:35:21.65\00:35:23.95
it might start a little bit late
00:35:23.99\00:35:25.82
or there might be some
graphic that was put up
00:35:25.85\00:35:29.72
that shouldn't
have been put up...
00:35:29.76\00:35:31.19
so, there's post-production
editing that needs to take place
00:35:31.23\00:35:34.46
to get it ready for television
00:35:34.50\00:35:36.10
and we have four
post-production editors
00:35:36.13\00:35:38.87
but the problem is, they
are also involved in camera work
00:35:38.90\00:35:43.00
in doing the productions,
00:35:43.04\00:35:44.47
so, we're constantly
having to pull them away
00:35:44.51\00:35:47.38
from post-production
editing to do cameras
00:35:47.41\00:35:50.28
and to do sound
and to do other things
00:35:50.35\00:35:53.15
so, we desperately
need to add another person
00:35:53.21\00:35:57.02
as a post-production editor
00:35:57.05\00:35:58.89
so that we can get
the material out sooner
00:35:58.92\00:36:02.22
because as you
mentioned, SUMTV is a beast...
00:36:02.26\00:36:05.13
I mean it wants...
"Give me more programming...
00:36:05.16\00:36:07.96
give me more programming... "
00:36:08.00\00:36:09.56
and for that you need personnel
00:36:09.60\00:36:11.07
so, so... I would encourage
people, you know, to give...
00:36:11.10\00:36:15.07
to help us be able
to get not only that...
00:36:15.10\00:36:18.04
we need also a Graphic Designer.
00:36:18.07\00:36:19.81
You know, the Graphic Designer
that we had, Jennifer Arruda,
00:36:19.84\00:36:24.31
who had done phenomenal
job... those who have gotten...
00:36:24.35\00:36:26.41
those that know the
type of work that she did,
00:36:26.45\00:36:29.22
unfortunately, she
passed away at the age of 40
00:36:29.25\00:36:32.02
so, we are without
a Graphic Designer now
00:36:32.05\00:36:35.12
and we really need one
00:36:35.16\00:36:36.49
because we need
people to do the graphics
00:36:36.52\00:36:38.23
for the DVD presentations...
00:36:38.26\00:36:40.00
we need graphics
for the Newsletter...
00:36:40.03\00:36:42.73
for other correspondence...
00:36:42.76\00:36:44.17
so, there's all types of needs
that we really have right now.
00:36:44.20\00:36:47.87
CA Murray: When
you talk about...
00:36:47.90\00:36:49.70
when one talks about
what you see on television,
00:36:49.74\00:36:53.11
for every hour
of finished product,
00:36:53.14\00:36:55.68
there are at least four or five
hours of pre-production meetings
00:36:55.71\00:37:01.58
that take place...
content meetings...
00:37:01.65\00:37:04.09
the actual
production of that one hour...
00:37:04.12\00:37:06.49
and then post-production
which is the final editing...
00:37:06.52\00:37:09.26
the tweaking... the
adding the little things
00:37:09.29\00:37:10.96
or taking away things
00:37:10.99\00:37:12.33
to make it fit
into a broadcast hour...
00:37:12.36\00:37:14.20
so, for every hour that you see,
think about four or five hours
00:37:14.23\00:37:19.57
of pre-production
and post-production
00:37:19.60\00:37:23.04
that go into that one hour.
00:37:23.07\00:37:24.57
So, for 24 hours of
continuous production,
00:37:24.61\00:37:27.71
you've got times five...
that have to be taken care of
00:37:27.74\00:37:32.08
in getting that final one hour.
00:37:32.11\00:37:33.95
So, it... it
demands a lot of time...
00:37:34.02\00:37:36.25
the camera work
00:37:36.28\00:37:37.92
and of course there are
only so many individuals
00:37:37.95\00:37:39.75
that can do that...
00:37:39.82\00:37:41.16
so, if you're producing... you
can't be doing post-production,
00:37:41.19\00:37:44.83
you got to stop
one and do the other
00:37:44.86\00:37:47.03
so, we are in critical
need of adding some personnel
00:37:47.06\00:37:50.73
and then getting
them room to work in.
00:37:50.77\00:37:53.94
We have them kind
of... tucked together
00:37:53.97\00:37:57.04
on one... kind of small room...
we mentioned that in the video,
00:37:57.07\00:37:59.71
which is not really the best
of situations... health wise
00:37:59.77\00:38:03.28
breathing wise...
air wise... space wise...
00:38:03.31\00:38:06.11
you need some room to create...
00:38:06.18\00:38:07.65
to do these kinds of things
00:38:07.68\00:38:09.18
so, we've got to use
storage space or warehouse space
00:38:09.22\00:38:13.25
or garage space...
that's got to be converted
00:38:13.29\00:38:15.89
into office
space... working space...
00:38:15.92\00:38:18.53
and that is critical...
00:38:18.56\00:38:19.89
that's not something we can say,
00:38:19.93\00:38:21.26
"Well, we'll do that next year,
00:38:21.30\00:38:22.63
we'll do that the
year after that... "
00:38:22.66\00:38:24.00
that has to be done now because
it hampers our effectiveness
00:38:24.03\00:38:27.57
and our ability to
do the work of the Lord.
00:38:27.60\00:38:29.77
These are things that
have to be kind of addressed
00:38:29.80\00:38:32.04
fairly quickly
and fairly resolutely.
00:38:32.07\00:38:34.54
Stephen: Unfortunately, we
don't even have a place for
00:38:34.58\00:38:36.78
James Rafferty to
get to lay his head.
00:38:36.81\00:38:38.35
CA Murray: Yes. All: Laughter.
00:38:38.38\00:38:40.98
Stephen: He doesn't...
he doesn't have an office...
00:38:41.02\00:38:43.28
you know, because there's...
we don't have any space,
00:38:43.32\00:38:45.52
literally,
we've run out of space
00:38:45.55\00:38:47.39
and, you know, some people say,
00:38:47.46\00:38:49.22
"Well, you know, I don't want
to give for infrastructure... "
00:38:49.26\00:38:51.56
but you really can't
function without infrastructure
00:38:51.59\00:38:54.73
and without personnel...
00:38:54.76\00:38:56.10
CA Murray: Yes.
00:38:56.13\00:38:57.47
Stephen: It's all part
of the evangelistic outreach
00:38:57.50\00:38:58.87
and we have 2,000 square feet
that we added to this building
00:38:58.90\00:39:03.57
which basically... we
store some things there
00:39:03.61\00:39:07.01
and we have our
production van there that we...
00:39:07.08\00:39:09.01
it's parked...
00:39:09.04\00:39:10.38
but, we can use half of
that to convert it into offices
00:39:10.41\00:39:13.38
and that's one of
the projects that we have
00:39:13.42\00:39:16.05
with the funds that we raise
00:39:16.08\00:39:17.42
is to build five
offices over there
00:39:17.45\00:39:20.26
so that we have a
place not only for James
00:39:20.29\00:39:23.36
but we also want to add a
Hispanic Evangelist to our team
00:39:23.39\00:39:27.36
and maybe I can mention
something about SUMTV Latino.
00:39:27.40\00:39:31.27
CA Murray:
Hmmm... hmmm... please do.
00:39:31.30\00:39:32.63
Stephen: We not only
have SUMTV in English,
00:39:32.67\00:39:34.80
but we also have SUMTV Latino
00:39:34.84\00:39:37.47
which is a
Spanish-speaking program...
00:39:37.51\00:39:40.34
Spanish-speaking
television station
00:39:40.38\00:39:43.11
and so, we are serving the needs
of the Hispanic people as well.
00:39:43.14\00:39:47.38
CA Murray: Yes...
yes... very, very exciting.
00:39:47.42\00:39:50.39
These things are
not wish-list things...
00:39:50.45\00:39:54.99
they are crucially
important because without them
00:39:55.02\00:39:59.03
we cannot effectively
prosecute the work of God.
00:39:59.06\00:40:03.00
God has given us a work to do
00:40:03.03\00:40:04.83
and we have seen by
the responses that come in
00:40:04.87\00:40:07.64
that the Lord is blessing
the work that we are doing
00:40:07.70\00:40:11.24
but we cannot expand the work...
00:40:11.27\00:40:13.51
we cannot grow the work...
00:40:13.58\00:40:14.91
we cannot increase what
we have to do for the Lord
00:40:14.94\00:40:17.85
unless we have the
materials... the facilities
00:40:17.91\00:40:20.92
and the personnel to do it
00:40:20.95\00:40:23.08
and God is
working... He's bringing...
00:40:23.12\00:40:25.65
you know, we... we... we weren't
looking to James Rafferty...
00:40:25.69\00:40:30.19
we kind of made
contact and reached out to him
00:40:30.23\00:40:32.36
and the Lord just kind
of really lined it up...
00:40:32.39\00:40:34.23
Stephen: Amen.
00:40:34.26\00:40:35.60
CA Murray: And it just worked
out in such a beautiful way...
00:40:35.63\00:40:37.83
well, we get a new partner...
we get a new person to work...
00:40:37.87\00:40:40.07
we got to put in
some work somewhere...
00:40:40.14\00:40:42.60
he wants to do...
he has ability to do...
00:40:42.64\00:40:45.07
God has given him
great abilities...
00:40:45.11\00:40:46.51
we got to put him someplace
00:40:46.54\00:40:48.04
so... we... we got to
have office space to do that.
00:40:48.08\00:40:51.18
Stephen: We don't want
to put him in the warehouse.
00:40:51.21\00:40:54.22
CA Murray: No... we
could put him in the van
00:40:54.25\00:40:57.25
but that would
not be fair to them...
00:40:57.29\00:40:59.22
so... we...
we... you know and then
00:40:59.25\00:41:01.16
we're looking at
this wish list Pastor...
00:41:01.19\00:41:02.76
and I say wish list...
this is not really a wish list,
00:41:02.79\00:41:04.86
and I want to
leave that out there...
00:41:04.89\00:41:06.23
Terra block expansion...
00:41:06.26\00:41:07.70
here's the thing...
00:41:07.73\00:41:09.33
video... once you produce it,
00:41:09.36\00:41:14.50
a good video uses up a
lot of computer space...
00:41:14.54\00:41:18.61
it... it... it... it
just consumes computer space,
00:41:18.64\00:41:22.64
we've got to be able to
expand our storage capability.
00:41:22.68\00:41:26.18
Thank goodness we
don't have the old tapes
00:41:26.21\00:41:28.62
where you put tapes in the
walls and tapes in machines
00:41:28.65\00:41:31.29
and we have walls and walls
of tapes... I've seen that...
00:41:31.32\00:41:33.92
but the storage space
has to come in computers
00:41:33.96\00:41:38.96
so, we have to have more
storage space for programming
00:41:38.99\00:41:42.76
so that we can add
programming and have programming
00:41:42.80\00:41:47.64
so, Terra Block Expansion
is another critical need...
00:41:47.67\00:41:52.47
these are important
needs that are critical
00:41:52.51\00:41:54.61
for the ministry and to
do the work of the Lord.
00:41:54.64\00:41:59.31
You talked about a
Graphic Designer...
00:41:59.35\00:42:01.52
Jennifer did such a fine job.
00:42:01.55\00:42:03.55
Stephen: Phenomenal...
00:42:03.59\00:42:04.92
CA Murray: And worked
as long as she could...
00:42:04.95\00:42:07.49
beautiful young
woman... just a... just a joy...
00:42:07.56\00:42:10.06
I did not know her but I had a
chance to interview her husband
00:42:10.09\00:42:13.80
and, of course, you
all knew her quite well
00:42:13.83\00:42:16.46
and universally has a
good report among the brethren
00:42:16.50\00:42:20.37
and we lost her after a
long and hard fight with cancer
00:42:20.44\00:42:24.27
and now we've got to replace her
00:42:24.31\00:42:26.07
because there are things
that still need to be done
00:42:26.11\00:42:27.84
so, we're actively looking
00:42:27.88\00:42:29.41
for a person to do
that too aren't we?
00:42:29.44\00:42:31.25
Stephen: CA, there may
be someone who tuned in late
00:42:31.28\00:42:34.05
could you tell
them about the match?
00:42:34.12\00:42:36.69
CA Murray: All right, we
have a wonderful, generous donor
00:42:36.72\00:42:41.82
who called on yesterday and said
00:42:41.86\00:42:46.19
that they would be willing
to match each and every donation
00:42:46.23\00:42:51.57
that comes in over the
next little bit of time
00:42:51.60\00:42:55.00
up to one million dollars,
00:42:55.04\00:42:57.81
so, a match is on the table...
00:42:57.84\00:43:00.54
he has said, "I'm going to put
this amount of money aside...
00:43:00.58\00:43:04.28
and I will match
everything that is donated
00:43:04.31\00:43:08.08
to Secrets Unsealed
up to a million dollars
00:43:08.12\00:43:11.85
and that's why we are so excited
00:43:11.89\00:43:13.56
because every dollar you
send is going to be matched
00:43:13.59\00:43:17.39
from this generous
donor so it would be doubled.
00:43:17.43\00:43:21.13
As we have read, we
already got our first $2,000
00:43:21.16\00:43:24.83
you know, we
praise the Lord for that
00:43:24.87\00:43:26.27
well, that 2,000 is
going to be matched...
00:43:26.30\00:43:28.34
so, that 2,000 is now 4,000
00:43:28.37\00:43:31.51
and so, everything that
you send is going to be matched
00:43:31.54\00:43:34.74
up to one million dollars
and that's why we're so excited
00:43:34.78\00:43:37.98
because we see that as
a blessing from the Lord
00:43:38.01\00:43:41.18
and we're so
excited for that blessing.
00:43:41.22\00:43:43.75
Stephen: And you know,
you've noticed on the screen
00:43:43.79\00:43:45.65
there are several different
ways that people can donate.
00:43:45.69\00:43:47.92
CA Murray: Yes.
00:43:47.99\00:43:49.32
Stephen: You know,
people can call right now...
00:43:49.36\00:43:50.69
our Call Center is open
and you'll see it on the screen
00:43:50.73\00:43:53.76
in a few moments...
00:43:53.80\00:43:55.13
there are many other
ways that people can donate
00:43:55.16\00:43:57.20
especially those
who live overseas,
00:43:57.23\00:43:59.80
so, we would greatly
appreciate your support
00:43:59.83\00:44:04.21
for these projects because
00:44:04.24\00:44:05.77
we want to reach as
many people as possible
00:44:05.81\00:44:08.64
with God's present
truth last-day message
00:44:08.68\00:44:12.18
because the window to present it
is getting smaller and smaller.
00:44:12.21\00:44:15.68
CA Murray: Yes, the Call Center
will be open until 8:30 tonight,
00:44:15.72\00:44:19.05
Pacific time...
00:44:19.09\00:44:20.76
we've got operators there...
they are ready... willing
00:44:20.79\00:44:23.49
and more than able
to get your calls...
00:44:23.53\00:44:26.33
to take your calls
00:44:26.36\00:44:27.96
and they want to
hear what you have to say
00:44:28.00\00:44:29.73
and write it down, so,
please... this is the...
00:44:29.76\00:44:32.70
the sequence is at
the bottom of the screen
00:44:32.73\00:44:35.60
and if you see something that
you can use to make contact,
00:44:35.64\00:44:39.11
do so because we are
ready and we are waiting
00:44:39.17\00:44:42.21
and that again this
generous donor has said,
00:44:42.24\00:44:45.25
"I'll match it all... "
00:44:45.28\00:44:46.61
and we praise the Lord for that.
00:44:46.65\00:44:48.62
We talked about
Office Expansion...
00:44:48.65\00:44:50.82
critical... you've got
to have places to put people
00:44:50.85\00:44:56.42
once you hire them
00:44:56.46\00:44:58.56
and we've got four guys
working in one small room
00:44:58.59\00:45:03.10
and they're doing a fine job
00:45:03.13\00:45:05.03
but they need a
little flex space...
00:45:05.07\00:45:06.60
a little room to do
what they have to do.
00:45:06.63\00:45:10.14
Stephen: You know, I think
that you have some testimonies
00:45:10.21\00:45:12.87
that... that you might
want to share with everyone...
00:45:12.91\00:45:15.41
we receive
many, many testimonies
00:45:15.44\00:45:18.08
from all over the world
00:45:18.11\00:45:19.45
as to how Secrets
Unsealed has been instrumental
00:45:19.48\00:45:22.85
in bringing people to the Lord
00:45:22.88\00:45:24.79
or strengthening their
relationship with the Lord,
00:45:24.82\00:45:27.26
do you want to read a
couple of those for us?
00:45:27.29\00:45:30.06
CA Murray: Will be
glad to do so here is one...
00:45:30.09\00:45:32.83
this one comes
from South Africa,
00:45:32.86\00:45:34.30
"Good evening,
00:45:34.33\00:45:35.66
in the wonderful name of our
Lord and Savior Jesus Christ,
00:45:35.70\00:45:38.13
just want at
this time to thank God
00:45:38.17\00:45:41.44
of what He has done to me
through Secrets Unsealed. "
00:45:41.47\00:45:46.37
Again, this is
coming from South Africa.
00:45:46.41\00:45:48.08
"I have been an
Adventist since 2010
00:45:48.11\00:45:51.61
but along the
way, I was discouraged
00:45:51.65\00:45:53.82
by some church members...
00:45:53.85\00:45:55.42
ended up drinking and
going out and partying
00:45:55.45\00:45:57.95
and even through all this,
the truth was still resonating
00:45:57.99\00:46:03.16
within me... until
one day I watched... "
00:46:03.19\00:46:06.63
and we get this
over and over again...
00:46:06.66\00:46:08.73
"till I watched:
Cracking the Genesis Code"
00:46:08.76\00:46:11.43
which is a fabulous Series
that God moves you to do...
00:46:11.47\00:46:17.37
"it revived me...
00:46:17.41\00:46:19.27
ever since then I
have never looked back...
00:46:19.31\00:46:21.84
I read the Bible every day
and the Spirit of Prophecy...
00:46:21.88\00:46:25.01
I have 100 gigs of
Secrets Unsealed sermons... "
00:46:25.05\00:46:31.69
so he's downloading stuff...
00:46:31.72\00:46:33.05
Stephen: Hallelujah...
00:46:33.09\00:46:36.12
CA Murray: "alone and... "
he has some Amazing Facts' stuff
00:46:36.16\00:46:40.70
and he's saying,
"Thank you to Pastor Bohr...
00:46:40.73\00:46:44.03
thank you to Secrets Unsealed...
00:46:44.07\00:46:46.00
thank you so much for
allowing God to use you...
00:46:46.03\00:46:49.50
all of you and
please send my greetings
00:46:49.57\00:46:52.84
to Pastor
Bohr... Pastor Murray...
00:46:52.87\00:46:56.64
tell Pastor Bohr...
he has a friend in me
00:46:56.68\00:47:00.32
and thank you for the
Anchor Bible School also. "
00:47:00.35\00:47:04.62
This is coming from
Senzo in South Africa.
00:47:04.65\00:47:07.82
Stephen: Wow!
00:47:07.86\00:47:09.46
CA Murray: Yeah, and we
praise the Lord for that.
00:47:09.52\00:47:10.86
Stephan: Amazing! amazing!
00:47:10.89\00:47:12.59
CA Murray: Hmmm... hmmm...
00:47:12.63\00:47:14.56
got another one, this is Vira...
00:47:14.60\00:47:15.96
"Just want to take this
opportunity to thank Pastor Bohr
00:47:16.00\00:47:19.20
for the current Series
and the Ministry Updates
00:47:19.23\00:47:23.91
and Christian
Standards videos...
00:47:23.94\00:47:26.34
also want to
thank Dr. Milton Teske
00:47:26.37\00:47:28.74
for his encouragement
00:47:28.78\00:47:30.38
that I gleaned
from the Divine Healing
00:47:30.41\00:47:33.65
and to Pastor Murray for the
thorough Sabbath School Lesson
00:47:33.68\00:47:37.82
that I just
watched this past week. "
00:47:37.85\00:47:39.95
He says... she says, rather...
00:47:39.99\00:47:41.92
"I suggest you
three come together
00:47:41.96\00:47:44.13
and develop a Secrets Unsealed
00:47:44.16\00:47:46.26
Healing Ministry Bible Study
Youth Guide for young people...
00:47:46.29\00:47:50.00
from Messages to Young People,
00:47:50.03\00:47:52.60
again, I
realize you are all busy
00:47:52.63\00:47:55.17
but I really
appreciate what you've done
00:47:55.20\00:47:57.61
and how God is
blessing you and the ministry.
00:47:57.64\00:48:00.98
Your sister in
Christ, Vira... V i r a. "
00:48:01.01\00:48:04.25
Stephen: Beautiful. CA
Murray: Yeah praise the Lord.
00:48:04.28\00:48:06.15
Stephen: I have
one from Denmark...
00:48:06.18\00:48:07.52
very, very secular country
00:48:07.55\00:48:10.25
and this is a
very interesting one...
00:48:10.29\00:48:13.72
it says this,
00:48:13.76\00:48:16.39
"I have been involved
in content from your site
00:48:16.42\00:48:20.53
for over half a year
00:48:20.56\00:48:22.33
because I have been touched
by the first angel's message
00:48:22.36\00:48:26.07
for three years now,
00:48:26.10\00:48:27.44
I was born a
Protestant Christian in Denmark.
00:48:27.47\00:48:31.07
Born in Denmark and
today living in Denmark
00:48:31.11\00:48:34.84
and had
followed a half-Catholic"
00:48:34.91\00:48:37.68
and he puts in
parenthesis, "Papacy...
00:48:37.71\00:48:39.61
and half Protestant belief
00:48:39.65\00:48:41.88
as we have no other choice
00:48:41.92\00:48:44.09
by following our Governmental
principle of Church and State.
00:48:44.12\00:48:47.86
However, since I woke up... "
00:48:47.89\00:48:50.79
it will be about
waking up spiritually...
00:48:50.83\00:48:52.96
"since I woke up, I know
that my way of glorifying God...
00:48:52.99\00:48:58.43
Jesus Christ... has been wrong
00:48:58.47\00:49:01.44
and bless our
Lord that He has led me
00:49:01.47\00:49:04.44
to His remnant church.
00:49:04.47\00:49:05.81
I hope that you can guide me
00:49:05.87\00:49:08.41
to the approved Seventh-day
Adventist Church in Denmark.
00:49:08.44\00:49:11.91
I wish to get baptized
in the way our Lord did...
00:49:11.98\00:49:16.38
follow my Bible Study and
glorify Christ till the end.
00:49:16.42\00:49:20.22
I have had Him in my heart
00:49:20.26\00:49:22.56
every single day in
the past three years
00:49:22.59\00:49:25.49
and God willingly...
I hope I always will.
00:49:25.53\00:49:28.36
Thank you... and may
always God bless your work. "
00:49:28.40\00:49:32.43
CA Murray: Amen... amen.
00:49:32.47\00:49:33.80
You know I want to
say something here...
00:49:33.84\00:49:35.40
those of you who are listening,
00:49:35.47\00:49:39.04
you're going to
hear Pastor Murray...
00:49:39.07\00:49:41.21
Pastor Bohr quite a lot
00:49:41.24\00:49:42.64
and I like something
that you said at the...
00:49:42.68\00:49:45.08
we had a little
dinner the other day,
00:49:45.11\00:49:46.68
the staff gets together every
now and then... and we have...
00:49:46.72\00:49:48.78
we get a chance
to eat together...
00:49:48.82\00:49:50.32
but you said
something to the staff
00:49:50.35\00:49:51.79
that I thought was
very, very important...
00:49:51.82\00:49:53.36
very, very crucial...
00:49:53.42\00:49:54.76
you said that though
our names... CA Murray...
00:49:54.79\00:49:59.13
Stephen Bohr are
on the letters...
00:49:59.19\00:50:01.73
we may be the
face of the ministry...
00:50:01.76\00:50:04.23
but our staff is the
heart of the ministry.
00:50:04.27\00:50:07.87
Those people who
don't get on camera
00:50:07.90\00:50:12.24
but without whom those
of us who are on camera
00:50:12.27\00:50:16.44
could not function.
00:50:16.48\00:50:17.81
So, the letter says...
CA Murray... Stephen Bohr...
00:50:17.85\00:50:22.38
but they're really
written to everyone here
00:50:22.42\00:50:24.55
at Secrets Unsealed
00:50:24.62\00:50:25.95
and in a special way they
are also written to those of you
00:50:26.02\00:50:28.99
at home
00:50:29.02\00:50:30.56
because without
your partnership...
00:50:30.63\00:50:32.49
without your
love... your prayers...
00:50:32.53\00:50:34.16
your financial support...
00:50:34.20\00:50:35.93
none of this could happen.
00:50:35.96\00:50:37.70
Someone has to be the head...
someone's got to be the face,
00:50:37.73\00:50:40.37
but without the heart,
the head cannot function.
00:50:40.40\00:50:44.67
So, we thank everybody
here at Secrets Unsealed...
00:50:44.71\00:50:49.14
Aileen and the
staff and Steve Junior
00:50:49.18\00:50:53.18
and Alejo and Alex and
Ismail and Theresa and Terry
00:50:53.21\00:50:58.02
and Irma and...
and Darren and John...
00:50:58.05\00:51:02.56
and I hope I've got everybody...
did I leave somebody out?
00:51:02.59\00:51:04.96
Stephen:
Prodigious memory you have!
00:51:04.99\00:51:06.63
Laughter...
00:51:06.66\00:51:08.00
CA Murray: It's long
but it's also very short
00:51:08.03\00:51:09.63
that's why I hope I
haven't left any name out
00:51:09.66\00:51:12.03
but... but... you
understand my point
00:51:12.07\00:51:13.97
that without these individuals,
we couldn't do what we do.
00:51:14.00\00:51:17.97
Without your prayers
and financial support,
00:51:18.01\00:51:20.11
we couldn't do what
we are called to do.
00:51:20.14\00:51:22.71
It's... it's the cooperation...
it's the... the synergy...
00:51:22.74\00:51:26.18
it's the working
together that gets the job done.
00:51:26.21\00:51:28.95
Nobody is running home at the...
the... the stroke of 6 o'clock,
00:51:28.98\00:51:34.22
if we've got something to
do, we stay till it's done.
00:51:34.26\00:51:36.56
We've... we've
come in on weekends...
00:51:36.59\00:51:39.16
we've come in in the evenings...
00:51:39.19\00:51:41.46
we've come in in the mornings...
00:51:41.50\00:51:42.83
we've come in at... at odd times
00:51:42.86\00:51:44.97
because we are dedicated
to doing the work of the Lord.
00:51:45.00\00:51:47.70
That's why we are so
solicitous of your aid...
00:51:47.74\00:51:51.14
of your financial support...
00:51:51.17\00:51:53.21
because we cannot do
what we are called to do
00:51:53.24\00:51:55.71
without you...
without your partnership...
00:51:55.74\00:51:57.55
so, we thank you even now...
00:51:57.58\00:51:59.31
you're seeing the... the... the
ways to contact on the screen.
00:51:59.35\00:52:02.95
Avail yourself
of one of those ways
00:52:02.98\00:52:05.59
and help the program of God...
00:52:05.62\00:52:07.52
there's a lot more
territory to be conquered
00:52:07.56\00:52:10.39
before Jesus comes again...
00:52:10.43\00:52:11.76
this gospel must be
preached in all the world.
00:52:11.79\00:52:14.10
I'm reading a
letter from India, Pastor,
00:52:14.13\00:52:17.17
"Dear Reverend Director... "
00:52:17.20\00:52:19.27
and this is coming from
the Reverend Father Praveen...
00:52:19.30\00:52:21.94
this is a... a... a priest...
00:52:22.00\00:52:23.41
"Warm regards to
you from Father Praveen.
00:52:23.44\00:52:26.37
I am an ordained
priest in India...
00:52:26.41\00:52:30.65
I was ordained in the year
2013 for the Catholic Church"
00:52:30.68\00:52:35.48
he says, "I
rendered my priestly service
00:52:35.52\00:52:37.62
in Parish and youth ministry.
00:52:37.65\00:52:40.52
Recently, I have come out of
the Catholic Church voluntarily.
00:52:40.56\00:52:44.86
Now I feel to
render my priestly service
00:52:44.89\00:52:47.83
in the Seventh-day
Adventist Church...
00:52:47.86\00:52:50.73
I now request you to
incarnate me into your church
00:52:50.77\00:52:56.97
so that I may render
my priestly service. "
00:52:57.01\00:53:00.04
He gives us all of the
things... his degrees...
00:53:00.08\00:53:03.04
and he's got a lot of them...
00:53:03.08\00:53:04.41
and the things
that he's doing...
00:53:04.45\00:53:05.78
but he says... now,
through Secrets Unsealed,
00:53:05.81\00:53:08.75
he's learning the truth...
00:53:08.78\00:53:10.12
he wants to walk in the truth...
00:53:10.15\00:53:12.39
he has sent us
ordination photos...
00:53:12.42\00:53:14.79
this fellow is very serious...
he's found something new...
00:53:14.82\00:53:17.49
he has turned his back
on the Catholic Church...
00:53:17.53\00:53:19.49
has opened his heart to the
Seventh-day Adventist message
00:53:19.53\00:53:22.16
and wants to be part
of the Adventist church...
00:53:22.23\00:53:24.13
and he says, "Thank
you, yours in Christ. "
00:53:24.17\00:53:25.80
Stephen: I've been
corresponding with Him.
00:53:25.83\00:53:27.17
CA Murray: Praise the Lord.
00:53:27.20\00:53:28.54
Stephen: Yeah,
he contacted us...
00:53:28.57\00:53:29.90
I think it was at
the last Anchor in March
00:53:29.94\00:53:32.81
and so, I've been
communicating with him...
00:53:32.84\00:53:36.04
I was supposed to
go to India and...
00:53:36.08\00:53:38.78
that... that was in March
00:53:38.81\00:53:40.15
and of course,
that was canceled.
00:53:40.18\00:53:41.92
CA Murray: Yes.
00:53:41.95\00:53:43.28
Stephen: I want to
just support your comments
00:53:43.32\00:53:47.79
about our crew here...
00:53:47.82\00:53:49.16
we have a phenomenal staff.
00:53:49.19\00:53:50.93
CA Murray: Yes.
00:53:50.96\00:53:52.29
Stephen: You know, we
are the face of the ministry
00:53:52.33\00:53:55.76
but a face without a
head and a head without a body
00:53:55.80\00:53:59.60
doesn't do much, right?
00:53:59.63\00:54:02.67
So... so really...
we're the Speakers...
00:54:02.70\00:54:05.94
but the driving force
that makes it all possible...
00:54:05.97\00:54:09.64
of course it's
the Lord ultimately...
00:54:09.68\00:54:11.01
CA Murray: Amen.
00:54:11.05\00:54:12.38
Stephen: But the
whole crew that we have...
00:54:12.41\00:54:14.65
all of the
personnel that we have here
00:54:14.68\00:54:16.58
which probably
nobody will ever see...
00:54:16.62\00:54:18.49
or only those who come
to the Summit or Anchor
00:54:18.52\00:54:20.66
but the majority of
people are not going to see
00:54:20.69\00:54:22.79
everyone that's
behind the ministry...
00:54:22.82\00:54:24.79
and so, we greatly appreciate
all of our employees...
00:54:24.86\00:54:28.70
all of the individuals
who worked so hard...
00:54:28.73\00:54:31.07
overtime... many times
to get the message out.
00:54:31.10\00:54:32.90
CA Murray: Hmmm...
hmmm... hmmm... hmmm...
00:54:32.93\00:54:34.70
yeah, we all work together
00:54:34.74\00:54:36.74
and if anyone has any
history with television,
00:54:36.77\00:54:40.61
you know, it can be stressful...
it certainly is demanding
00:54:40.64\00:54:44.08
along with the print ministries,
the video ministry...
00:54:44.15\00:54:47.55
the other things
that take place here...
00:54:47.58\00:54:49.42
television kind
of comes to the fore
00:54:49.48\00:54:51.55
because it has demands
that cannot be delayed...
00:54:51.59\00:54:54.16
cannot be gainsay...
cannot be pushed back...
00:54:54.19\00:54:57.29
television is a
demanding beast that must be fed
00:54:57.33\00:55:00.36
and we are called to feed
it and do the work of the Lord.
00:55:00.40\00:55:03.06
Stephen: So, once again, we
have a million-dollar match.
00:55:03.10\00:55:05.43
CA Murray: Yes.
00:55:05.47\00:55:06.80
Stephen: In other
words, we have a donor
00:55:06.84\00:55:08.17
who is willing to
donate a million dollars...
00:55:08.20\00:55:09.94
up to a million dollars
00:55:09.97\00:55:12.17
if people will
donate an equal amount
00:55:12.21\00:55:15.64
and so, I trust that
those who are watching
00:55:15.71\00:55:20.38
will prayerfully...
prayerfully come to the Lord
00:55:20.42\00:55:23.32
and ask the Lord what
He would have them do...
00:55:23.39\00:55:26.22
that the Lord will guide them
and we appreciate tremendously
00:55:26.25\00:55:29.89
your support and
may God bless you for...
00:55:29.92\00:55:32.66
supporting this ministry.
00:55:32.69\00:55:34.03
CA Murray: Amen... amen.
00:55:34.06\00:55:35.40
In the last...
00:55:35.43\00:55:36.77
and this time again
it's gone so very, very fast,
00:55:36.80\00:55:38.27
we want to assure you...
every dime that is spent here
00:55:38.33\00:55:43.10
is done so prayerfully...
00:55:43.14\00:55:45.27
is done as a response
to need and not just a wish
00:55:45.31\00:55:49.24
and certainly not a whim...
00:55:49.28\00:55:51.15
those things that
money... your money is spent for
00:55:51.21\00:55:55.65
are things that are needed
so that we can be effective
00:55:55.68\00:56:00.09
and efficient in
doing the work of the Lord.
00:56:00.12\00:56:03.99
God calls us to
expand our borders...
00:56:04.03\00:56:06.70
as you can see and have seen...
00:56:06.73\00:56:08.86
we are reaching the world
with the gospel of Jesus Christ.
00:56:08.90\00:56:13.10
We want to prepare Adventists
to be more effective tools
00:56:13.13\00:56:17.31
by putting
effective tools in their hands
00:56:17.34\00:56:20.58
for their growth
and their witness
00:56:20.61\00:56:22.54
and then, we also want
to lead those to Christ
00:56:22.58\00:56:27.52
who need to hear a
word from the Lord.
00:56:27.55\00:56:30.02
The original goal was...
00:56:30.05\00:56:33.96
of the ministry was
to prepare Adventists
00:56:33.99\00:56:36.86
but we quickly found that
there is an evangelistic arm
00:56:36.93\00:56:41.36
to the ministry...
00:56:41.40\00:56:42.73
because when you
lift up the name of Jesus,
00:56:42.76\00:56:44.43
Christ draws all men unto
His precious bleeding side
00:56:44.47\00:56:48.87
so, we are very, very pleased
with the expanded outreach
00:56:48.90\00:56:53.31
of Secrets Unsealed.
00:56:53.34\00:56:55.11
Pastor, when you
started this in the back room
00:56:55.14\00:56:58.61
of the Fresno
Church so many years ago,
00:56:58.65\00:57:00.28
I know you never knew
where it was going to go
00:57:00.32\00:57:03.52
but God has taken you
very far, very wide...
00:57:03.55\00:57:06.15
and God has blessed
this ministry, hasn't He?
00:57:06.19\00:57:08.76
Stephen: Amen...
we see it every day...
00:57:08.82\00:57:10.93
the Lord has... the Lord has
really worked in a powerful way.
00:57:10.96\00:57:14.06
I want to encourage everyone
00:57:14.10\00:57:15.43
to download the
free Secrets Unsealed App
00:57:15.46\00:57:17.80

00:57:17.83\00:57:19.93
CA Murray:
Hmmm... hmmm... hmmm...
00:57:19.97\00:57:21.30
Stephen: If you have
it on your cell phone,
00:57:21.34\00:57:23.24

00:57:36.69\00:57:38.32
CA Murray: Yes... in our last...
00:57:38.35\00:57:40.29
and we are really down to
our last several seconds...
00:57:40.36\00:57:42.72
would you
please prayerfully pray
00:57:42.76\00:57:45.99
and ask God what He
would have you to do
00:57:46.03\00:57:48.70
in support of this ministry.
00:57:48.73\00:57:50.93
We have come a
very, very long way...
00:57:50.97\00:57:53.44
the title of the
video was Ebenezer...
00:57:53.47\00:57:55.80
"Hitherto hath the
Lord brought us... "
00:57:55.84\00:57:58.11
but he's got a
long way for us to go
00:57:58.14\00:58:00.38
before He comes back to
take His children home...
00:58:00.41\00:58:02.91
join with us if you will...
00:58:02.94\00:58:04.85
we pray that God will bless you
00:58:04.88\00:58:06.72
so that you in turn
can be a blessing to us
00:58:06.75\00:58:09.48
and we can in turn be a
blessing to the whole world.
00:58:09.52\00:58:12.05
Stephen: Amen.
00:58:12.09\00:58:13.42
CA Murray: God
bless you... good bye
00:58:13.46\00:58:14.79
and may you stay with
Jesus in all that you do.
00:58:14.82\00:58:18.16
Stephen: Bye.
00:58:18.19\00:58:19.56
