Hello and welcome to
ISITE program number 15,
00:00:06.67\00:00:09.47
we're Greg & Jill
Morikone and this is sadly
00:00:09.50\00:00:13.27
the last ISITE
because we're at the end of
00:00:13.31\00:00:15.28
The Campaign Pathway To
Life here in Phoenix, Arizona
00:00:15.31\00:00:18.15
and we're basically
ending where we started which is
00:00:18.18\00:00:21.75
outside the Paradise Valley
Seventh-day Adventist Church.
00:00:21.78\00:00:24.82
It's hard to believe that our
time here in Phoenix is almost
00:00:24.85\00:00:26.86
done. It is, it's been an
incredible journey just to see
00:00:26.89\00:00:29.66
God work in people's lives,
to see people make decisions for
00:00:29.69\00:00:32.96
Jesus. That's what evangelism
is all about and we want to
00:00:32.99\00:00:36.06
give a quick shout out to those
of you who shared last night's
00:00:36.10\00:00:39.47
ISITE program on Facebook
because not only are we on
00:00:39.50\00:00:43.37
their traditional ways you
can get 3ABN which is cable and
00:00:43.41\00:00:46.31
satellite and internet and all
of that stuff but we are also
00:00:46.34\00:00:50.51
on Facebook for
this series streaming.
00:00:50.55\00:00:52.08
So these are the
ones from last night,
00:00:52.11\00:00:55.52
this is Timothy, David, Daniel,
Shirley, Amy, Keith, Cora,
00:00:55.55\00:00:59.45
Devin, Edwina,
Ariella, Gerlin, Penny, Thomas,
00:00:59.49\00:01:03.56
Deborah, Kawisi, Claudio,
and Tweet Timothy and others,
00:01:03.59\00:01:07.16
so thank you so much
for sharing these programs.
00:01:07.20\00:01:09.86
And we are here with Pastor
C.A. Murray and you've been at
00:01:09.90\00:01:13.00
Desert Cove Church.
00:01:13.03\00:01:14.37
Desert Cove Church in El Mirage
just north/northwest of Phoenix,
00:01:14.40\00:01:18.44
wonderful church right
in the glide path of the
00:01:18.47\00:01:22.78
Luke Airforce Base, so we get
to hear the jets take off and...
00:01:22.81\00:01:27.42
Oh yeah, that's right.
Well you know they built the
00:01:27.45\00:01:28.92
church with that in mind,
so there is double insulated
00:01:28.95\00:01:30.75
so unless you are really
listening for it you really can
00:01:30.79\00:01:33.29
kind of ignore it,
it's not that intrusive.
00:01:33.32\00:01:34.82
But what a wonderful
group of people to pastor
00:01:34.86\00:01:37.86
is Pr. Steve Gibson, his wife
Angela who has the best smile
00:01:37.89\00:01:42.06
in Phoenix we always say.
She was at the door every night
00:01:42.10\00:01:44.40
or most nights and
just a bright bubbly person.
00:01:44.43\00:01:47.57
My main contact, of course you
know Elder Randy and Kathleen
00:01:47.60\00:01:52.31
Fields, wonderful people, she's
been feeding us yeah to death.
00:01:52.34\00:01:56.91
She may be the best soup
maker and makes her own bread.
00:01:56.95\00:01:59.98
That's wonderful. She
is a wonderful person.
00:02:00.02\00:02:03.05
You're getting fresh
bread every day aren't you?
00:02:03.08\00:02:04.62
Pretty much every day,
yeah pretty much every day.
00:02:04.65\00:02:07.32
That's great. And we don't even
mind if it's day old because
00:02:07.36\00:02:10.73
it tastes a little better
on the second day we're told,
00:02:10.76\00:02:13.50
so we are having a wonderful
time. Wonderful church.
00:02:13.53\00:02:15.73
Wonderful people, great
experiences, many many lives
00:02:15.76\00:02:20.64
being changed. The church
is comfortably full each night
00:02:20.67\00:02:24.67
and it's been a...we've
had fun here, had some health
00:02:24.71\00:02:29.54
challenges and you
can still hear my voice.
00:02:29.58\00:02:31.01
Yes we can hear it. I've
passed this on to my wife,
00:02:31.05\00:02:33.58
I've shared it with
Irma and so she's home.
00:02:33.62\00:02:36.22
Uh, I think I got it,
got healed, gave it to her
00:02:36.25\00:02:38.95
and then she gave
it back to me. Yes.
00:02:38.99\00:02:40.32
Because this seems to be
the second time but it's been a
00:02:40.36\00:02:42.76
blessing Greg & Jill, we
started this last September.
00:02:42.79\00:02:47.16
This one came together
rather quickly on the heels of
00:02:47.20\00:02:50.73
the Pathway To Health meetings,
it occurred to me that maybe
00:02:50.77\00:02:56.07
the town will be ready
for a little something else,
00:02:56.10\00:02:58.57
a little more direct evangelism
so I called Dr. Ludle who
00:02:58.61\00:03:03.48
you know is a bundle of energy.
She is. Never heard an idea
00:03:03.51\00:03:05.91
for the Lord
that she didn't like.
00:03:05.95\00:03:07.28
And this is her
church here at Paradise.
00:03:07.32\00:03:08.78
Um hum, um hum, she, and it was
late Friday evening when we were
00:03:08.82\00:03:13.36
talking and the next thing I
know is she's got Jose Mayer,
00:03:13.39\00:03:16.46
the Conference Secretary
of Ministerial Director on the
00:03:16.49\00:03:18.69
phone and it's late and he says
you know we'll talk on Monday
00:03:18.73\00:03:22.16
it's kind of late but
that began the wheels turning
00:03:22.20\00:03:25.27
and of course Danny
approved of it and off we went
00:03:25.30\00:03:29.87
the conference approved
of it, they liked the idea,
00:03:29.90\00:03:32.61
that they were very
much for the idea and um,
00:03:32.64\00:03:35.28
things progressed very quickly
once I made the initial contact
00:03:35.31\00:03:38.98
to pass it over to Pr. Lomacang
who is the Director of World
00:03:39.01\00:03:41.62
Evangelism. He took it
from there and then you came in
00:03:41.65\00:03:43.82
and did all of the logistics
and all of the contacts
00:03:43.85\00:03:46.15
and just about everything else.
00:03:46.19\00:03:47.66
Just some
coordination that's it.
00:03:47.69\00:03:49.52
But that's how it
worked and before you know it,
00:03:49.56\00:03:52.39
we are here, the meetings began
and the Devil began to oppose
00:03:52.43\00:03:56.26
and we've had a lot of colds
and flu and respiratory stuff
00:03:56.30\00:04:00.77
going on and I don't know if
it's from the cold to the warm
00:04:00.80\00:04:03.51
or the change or just the
attack of the enemy but the crew
00:04:03.54\00:04:06.37
has been sick
and as you well know.
00:04:06.41\00:04:07.74
Greg you have seem
to be able to avoid...
00:04:07.78\00:04:09.94
Well by God's grace I'm
still trying to stay well,
00:04:09.98\00:04:12.75
what a blessing.
00:04:12.78\00:04:14.15
That's the difference...
But pastors think about
00:04:14.18\00:04:16.65
evangelism, you know, that's
pretty quick to pull a campaign
00:04:16.69\00:04:18.95
together when you are thinking
about it because that was
00:04:18.99\00:04:20.36
late last fall. Yep.
00:04:20.39\00:04:21.72
And then here we start
in February and you can just
00:04:21.76\00:04:24.53
really see the Lord is
blessing for all of the support
00:04:24.56\00:04:26.96
for how it fit in 3ABN's
schedule, the conference,
00:04:27.00\00:04:30.47
the local churches,
it's pretty amazing isn't it?
00:04:30.50\00:04:32.23
As you well know, you
have so many logistical pieces
00:04:32.27\00:04:37.11
of the puzzle to fit. You
got the evangelism which is why
00:04:37.14\00:04:39.64
we are here. You have
five speakers and five churches
00:04:39.67\00:04:42.08
So churches must be prepared,
sermons must be prepared,
00:04:42.11\00:04:45.25
graphics must be prepared,
literature must be prepared,
00:04:45.28\00:04:48.18
people must be prepared,
pre broadcast must be done,
00:04:48.22\00:04:50.69
and that's just the
pure evangelism side.
00:04:50.72\00:04:53.46
Then put on top of that,
production, a whole nother
00:04:53.49\00:04:58.39
layer, trucks have to
come, things have to happen,
00:04:58.43\00:05:01.23
you know, a bunch of
things have to happen to make
00:05:01.26\00:05:04.13
something like this go on
and we got a good size crew here
00:05:04.17\00:05:07.64
and from what I can see,
cause I'm at my church in...
00:05:07.67\00:05:10.21
You know we got the crew
working, everybody's working
00:05:10.24\00:05:12.51
together well and one of the
great things that you of course
00:05:12.54\00:05:15.98
well know about 3ABN is that
this feeling of comradery is
00:05:16.01\00:05:19.35
everybody is pulling
in the same direction.
00:05:19.38\00:05:20.72
And this stuff can be stressful
because you've got deadlines
00:05:20.75\00:05:24.99
every night, you got, it's show
time, you got to be there and be
00:05:25.02\00:05:27.86
ready to go.
00:05:27.89\00:05:29.22
And yet when you are
focused on the work of the Lord,
00:05:29.26\00:05:31.06
there's a blessing that
comes from the Lord. Amen.
00:05:31.09\00:05:32.66
Amen. So we felt that
all along. Yeah. Amen.
00:05:32.69\00:05:35.70
Well Pastor, we thank
you for your leadership,
00:05:35.73\00:05:37.93
for making those initial
contacts starting this whole
00:05:37.97\00:05:40.94
ball rolling in this direction
for Phoenix and I know that
00:05:40.97\00:05:43.61
God is blessing us
and will continue to bless
00:05:43.64\00:05:45.91
because success is not always
by numbers that we may see
00:05:45.94\00:05:48.11
right now but the churches
are excited about continuing on
00:05:48.14\00:05:51.05
with more things following
up so, yeah, thank you again,
00:05:51.08\00:05:54.18
thank you for your leadership.
00:05:54.22\00:05:55.55
My pleasure, it's
just part of the team.
00:05:55.58\00:05:56.92
Amen! It's a joy.
And we are going to the
00:05:56.95\00:05:59.35
Chandler Seventh-day Adventist
Church, Kenny & Chris Shelton
00:05:59.39\00:06:01.89
are there and Chris had
the opportunity to do a couple
00:06:01.92\00:06:04.59
interviews with some people
there, let's listen to that now.
00:06:04.63\00:06:06.96
I have Brother Derwin with
me and Brother Derwin came up
00:06:11.07\00:06:14.94
and he says that he has
something that he wants to share
00:06:14.97\00:06:18.54
with those of
you who are watching.
00:06:18.57\00:06:20.64
Well thanks and what a blessing
it has been to be a part
00:06:20.68\00:06:26.25
of these evangelistic meetings
and in these times we just
00:06:26.28\00:06:32.15
need them and I was grateful
to be able to spend as much
00:06:32.19\00:06:35.32
time as I have throughout
this series and I just have a
00:06:35.36\00:06:40.80
testimony today that just,
really just expands upon how
00:06:40.83\00:06:47.50
great a God we serve.
00:06:47.54\00:06:50.31
In 2007 I was not
actively involved in the church
00:06:50.34\00:06:55.54
and I prayed for
the Lord for deliverance
00:06:55.58\00:06:59.21
and I didn't know how that
deliverance was going to come.
00:06:59.25\00:07:02.82
But ultimately I had
a severe asthma attack,
00:07:02.85\00:07:07.56
I almost died, I was
in a coma for nine days
00:07:07.59\00:07:11.13
and they were going to
give me a trachea on Sunday and
00:07:11.16\00:07:15.10
that's the day that the Lord
revealed himself to wake me up
00:07:15.13\00:07:18.57
and give me a second chance.
00:07:18.60\00:07:20.64
So with that second
chance there is no turning back
00:07:20.67\00:07:24.37
and there is a fire to
share this message with people
00:07:24.41\00:07:28.61
that we come in contact
with on a daily and God has even
00:07:28.64\00:07:33.31
remembered a commitment that
we had for when I was a youth
00:07:33.35\00:07:38.22
to do Country Living
Ministries here in Show Low, AZ
00:07:38.25\00:07:42.79
and He is blessing with that,
so I just ask for prayers for
00:07:42.82\00:07:46.23
myself and everyone and that
we truly don't want to miss out
00:07:46.26\00:07:50.50
on this opportunity
that God has for us.
00:07:50.53\00:07:53.44
I came up for prayer and I must
say in the last two, three days
00:07:54.80\00:07:59.84
it has been such a relief
to have the Lord answer prayers
00:07:59.87\00:08:04.88
to see them and to
feel them. Amen. Amen.
00:08:04.91\00:08:09.65
But when I was younger,
I was born with an illness
00:08:09.68\00:08:12.75
and they told mother I would
only live till 21 or younger.
00:08:12.79\00:08:17.43
Uh hum. And my
grandmother was an Adventist,
00:08:17.46\00:08:21.70
a new Adventist, she helped
found the Nasana SDA Church
00:08:21.73\00:08:27.14
in New Jersey. Ok. In Trenton
and she just wrapped her arms
00:08:27.17\00:08:33.44
around me, the family
got around me and prayed and
00:08:33.48\00:08:36.04
just prayed and
prayed and prayed.
00:08:36.08\00:08:38.75
I am 54. Amen! We
had, can you hear me now.
00:08:38.78\00:08:44.19
We had an evening of prayer,
you knew about prayer didn't you
00:08:44.22\00:08:48.39
because you wouldn't
be here without prayer.
00:08:48.42\00:08:50.43
We love our grandma's, we
love our mamma's, I'm one,
00:08:50.46\00:08:54.03
I'm praying for my kids
and grandkids every day.
00:08:54.06\00:08:56.23
Every day I have two beautiful
daughters, they suggested I do
00:08:56.26\00:09:00.34
not have kids, I had them
late in life, 36 and 38 and God
00:09:00.37\00:09:05.87
has been there
the whole entire time.
00:09:05.91\00:09:07.48
I have come from a
praying family, I pray every day
00:09:07.51\00:09:10.78
about everything and
it's just a wonderful
00:09:10.81\00:09:13.55
um, relationship that we have.
00:09:13.58\00:09:15.85
So when you have opportunities
like we did here to come out
00:09:15.88\00:09:20.59
for evangelistic series,
what would you tell the folks
00:09:20.62\00:09:24.79
at home? Should they stay
at home and just watch on TV
00:09:24.83\00:09:27.13
or should they come out maybe?
00:09:27.16\00:09:29.36
I suggest that everyone
come out it's an experience,
00:09:29.40\00:09:32.80
it's totally
different than watching on TV.
00:09:32.83\00:09:36.30
You get the feel the Holy Spirit
walking through, you get to feel
00:09:36.34\00:09:39.57
the people talking to you,
you get to feel His anointing
00:09:39.61\00:09:43.85
grace everywhere
when you come out
00:09:43.88\00:09:46.25
instead of sitting down,
you know, you are kind of just
00:09:46.28\00:09:49.32
a one way, here it's
like a cross, it's both ways,
00:09:49.35\00:09:53.86
up and down, side to side.
00:09:53.89\00:09:55.29
Amen! Most people
are rejoicing with you.
00:09:55.32\00:09:58.03
Yes, yes and I've often
said even during these meetings,
00:09:58.06\00:10:01.93
there's no better place
than where God wants us to be.
00:10:01.96\00:10:05.67
Thank you sister Chris, what
a great report coming from the
00:10:07.67\00:10:10.51
Chandler
Seventh-day Adventist Church.
00:10:10.54\00:10:12.47
It's always neat to hear
what is going on at the churches
00:10:12.51\00:10:14.71
and the different stories
and testimonies and how God is
00:10:14.74\00:10:17.08
working in each of their
lives there and I want to say
00:10:17.11\00:10:20.28
that we have a very special
guest with us and you are not
00:10:20.32\00:10:23.25
a guest Brad Walker. He
is actually part of our 3ABN
00:10:23.28\00:10:27.06
production crew and Brad
you have been here for many
00:10:27.09\00:10:29.76
years and this man, it's
hard to get him in front of the
00:10:29.79\00:10:32.56
camera, works long long hours.
00:10:32.59\00:10:34.96
Basically everything that
you have seen with these ISITES
00:10:35.00\00:10:38.50
he's been a part of whether...
If he's not behind the camera,
00:10:38.53\00:10:41.17
he's behind the camera in
the fact giving directions.
00:10:41.20\00:10:42.90
He's like a producer
carrying equipment up mountains
00:10:42.94\00:10:45.37
around churches, all
the creativity and the stuff
00:10:45.41\00:10:48.64
that you see on these programs
is thanks to Brad and of course
00:10:48.68\00:10:51.85
the crew as well.
00:10:51.88\00:10:53.21
But we appreciate you
Brad, you've been at 3ABN
00:10:53.25\00:10:55.35
how many years? All
my adult life I guess,
00:10:55.38\00:10:58.22
right out of High School.
00:10:58.25\00:10:59.65
He started as a
teenager. That's it.
00:10:59.69\00:11:01.69
And Brad Walker for those
of you that have followed 3ABN
00:11:01.72\00:11:05.49
and the ISITE we did from
London, Brad and his daughter
00:11:05.53\00:11:08.90
Tierra went to
London. That's right.
00:11:08.93\00:11:10.90
And now it's nice to have
who else with you on this trip?
00:11:10.93\00:11:12.73
My son Tyler is with me.
And where is he at right now?
00:11:12.77\00:11:15.90
He's running all three of
these cameras behind us here.
00:11:15.94\00:11:18.37
So I should probably get
back there and help him out.
00:11:18.41\00:11:21.14
No Brad you stay right
here. No, you are good here.
00:11:21.18\00:11:23.18
But we appreciate
you Brad. Thank you.
00:11:23.21\00:11:25.88
And what you bring to 3ABN
and all the skills and talents
00:11:25.91\00:11:29.28
that you are using for the Lord
and I think the full impact Brad
00:11:29.32\00:11:32.35
will be realized in heaven
for all the tireless hours
00:11:32.39\00:11:34.66
and this man came from
Florida just before this trip.
00:11:34.69\00:11:38.73
The interview that you saw with
that tragedy down there Brad
00:11:38.76\00:11:42.83
with the shooting, you
went and covered that story.
00:11:42.86\00:11:45.73
Me and my son went with Pr.
Lomacang and what a powerful
00:11:45.77\00:11:50.77
testimony that Samantha is
going to tell the world about.
00:11:50.81\00:11:54.41
Yeah. And then from
there, came to here.
00:11:54.44\00:11:57.21
So tell us how
your experience been?
00:11:57.25\00:12:00.38
It's been amazing that
the crew here at 3ABN is just
00:12:00.42\00:12:04.19
by far the best, I think
we are looking at 100 hours
00:12:04.22\00:12:08.92
of finished product that
this crew has put together.
00:12:08.96\00:12:12.09
That's incredible. Yep.
00:12:12.13\00:12:13.46
And a we worked long hours
but it's been well worth it,
00:12:13.50\00:12:16.03
we are seeing people come
to the Lord that it's priceless
00:12:16.06\00:12:19.97
to see what has happened
here. I mean when we didn't have
00:12:20.00\00:12:23.41
strength to continue on,
the crew is just going down and
00:12:23.44\00:12:26.78
speakers are going down,
God gave us all strength to
00:12:26.81\00:12:29.71
pull this through.
All glory goes to God,
00:12:29.74\00:12:32.71
not to any crew member
but God's given us a great
00:12:32.75\00:12:36.82
team to work with for sure.
00:12:36.85\00:12:38.45
Amen. I agree because you
are right, there are long hours.
00:12:38.49\00:12:40.49
Sometimes two to three in the
morning to pull some of these
00:12:40.52\00:12:42.86
programs off and edit it.
00:12:42.89\00:12:44.23
Some people worked all
night. Yeah that's true.
00:12:44.26\00:12:45.93
But then they got
some rest the next night
00:12:45.96\00:12:47.43
but some people
have worked really hard.
00:12:47.46\00:12:48.86
Well thank you Brad, you
are just an integral part
00:12:48.90\00:12:50.87
of the team as Director and
he is so great, even gifted.
00:12:50.90\00:12:53.97
It's a joy to work with
you. Right now you were speaking
00:12:54.00\00:12:56.87
about the joy of watching
people come to know Jesus
00:12:56.91\00:12:59.27
and that's what
it's really all about.
00:12:59.31\00:13:00.81
And right now we are going to
the Phoenix Central SDA Church
00:13:00.84\00:13:04.55
and there was a woman who
was praying two weeks ago,
00:13:04.58\00:13:07.45
she was praying God, I want
to find Jesus and she got home
00:13:07.48\00:13:11.42
and there was a flyer in
her mailbox inviting her to the
00:13:11.45\00:13:15.42
meetings. So let's
listen to her testimony.
00:13:15.46\00:13:17.76
Angela and I are here at Phoenix
Central Church and Angela
00:13:22.26\00:13:26.03
loves Jesus. Angela have you
been here nearly every night,
00:13:26.07\00:13:29.64
have you not? I have, yes.
00:13:29.67\00:13:31.61
Why are you coming?
Well, about a week and a half
00:13:31.64\00:13:35.61
two weeks ago I was driving home
from work, praying to the Lord.
00:13:36.21\00:13:38.98
Well, I wanted to find somewhere
and just find Jesus really
00:13:39.01\00:13:44.62
and I looked into my
mailbox for the first time
00:13:44.65\00:13:46.92
into my new apartment and
there was a flier and it had
00:13:46.96\00:13:50.56
all the days and so I came.
00:13:50.59\00:13:53.53
Here I am, I have
been here ever since.
00:13:53.56\00:13:55.13
Amen. Yes.
00:13:55.16\00:13:56.63
And it's eager cause I always
sat oh I don't four or five rows
00:13:56.67\00:13:59.47
behind Angela and it's so
fun just to watch as she's
00:13:59.50\00:14:02.57
connecting with what is coming
directly out of the Bible.
00:14:02.60\00:14:05.51
I mean this is...I know that
Jesus is touching your heart,
00:14:05.54\00:14:10.25
the Holy Spirit is
working in your life but also
00:14:10.28\00:14:14.18
just kind of being a
people watcher as well as
00:14:14.22\00:14:17.32
listen to the
word, it's inspiring me.
00:14:17.35\00:14:20.46
And I guess everything in
your life has been perfect.
00:14:20.49\00:14:24.86
No sir. Ok. So in other
words you might have gone left
00:14:24.89\00:14:30.27
and you should have gone
right maybe a time or two
00:14:30.30\00:14:32.33
like all of us.
00:14:32.37\00:14:33.70
Sometimes. And you are
sick and tired of being sick
00:14:33.74\00:14:36.10
and tired, yeah.
00:14:36.14\00:14:37.47
And so consequently we're
trying to find the true meaning
00:14:37.51\00:14:40.84
of life and obviously if you
are sitting here and as you said
00:14:40.88\00:14:44.85
earlier that I want
to know who Jesus is.
00:14:44.88\00:14:49.45
Someplace in your past
there was a seed that was sown
00:14:49.48\00:14:53.05
and now we are trying to
find our way back and find out
00:14:53.09\00:14:56.93
what is life all
about and where do I start.
00:14:56.96\00:15:00.33
Correct, so yeah,
it's been about 26 years.
00:15:00.36\00:15:05.03
I grew up with my mom and
she still teaches a two year old
00:15:05.07\00:15:09.37
but she has been going to church
pretty much all her life so
00:15:09.40\00:15:12.27
that seed was planted, but by
the age 13 I kind of veered off
00:15:12.31\00:15:16.64
and I have been kinda
lost since then and here I am
00:15:16.68\00:15:20.35
and it's my time
and it is so my time.
00:15:20.38\00:15:22.88
Amen. Amen. Yeah and amen too.
Well I know that you are going
00:15:22.92\00:15:25.99
to make a positive difference
in many people's lives
00:15:26.02\00:15:28.02
you just got that intelligence,
that understanding,
00:15:28.06\00:15:32.59
and you are going to
allow Jesus to lead you.
00:15:32.63\00:15:35.60
In other words the Bible is
very clear, He will be a lamp
00:15:35.63\00:15:38.63
unto your feet. So as we keep
our eyes focused on that lamp,
00:15:38.67\00:15:42.57
well then we are no
longer in that dark. So anyway.
00:15:42.60\00:15:45.67
Well, how do you like
this particular church?
00:15:45.71\00:15:48.14
I love it, it's small,
it's intimate, everybody,
00:15:48.18\00:15:50.81
it's like family, it's
like home, you come in,
00:15:50.85\00:15:53.08
and everybody seems to know
everybody, you hug and greet
00:15:53.11\00:15:55.18
each other, I love it.
00:15:55.22\00:15:56.58
Amen. Yeah.
00:15:56.62\00:15:57.95
And what do you think
about Shelley's teaching?
00:15:57.99\00:16:01.19
I love it, she has a way of
just putting things to where
00:16:01.22\00:16:06.03
I understand it, I get
it, I go home so revived and a
00:16:06.06\00:16:09.70
I don't know, I don't
want you guys to leave.
00:16:09.73\00:16:11.70
{Laughter} She's
great. She's great.
00:16:11.73\00:16:13.60
It's amazing, she's a blessing.
00:16:13.64\00:16:15.04
What a gift this is because
I've been talking to Felicia
00:16:16.77\00:16:19.97
for probably ten years at 3ABN
and we never put a face to a
00:16:20.01\00:16:24.71
name and so when she came
in and told me who she was,
00:16:24.75\00:16:27.85
it just put joy in my
heart cause I love this lady.
00:16:27.88\00:16:32.09
And I love her even more
now that I know who she is.
00:16:32.12\00:16:36.29
Felicia is out there on
the front line in Phoenix, AZ
00:16:36.32\00:16:40.20
fighting daily battles, tell
us kind of what you do Felicia.
00:16:40.23\00:16:44.37
Ok. Well I am a Bible worker
for Phoenix South Mountain
00:16:44.40\00:16:48.47
Seventh-day Adventist Church.
00:16:48.50\00:16:49.84
I've been doing that for
four years now and so basically
00:16:49.87\00:16:54.44
we're out on the mission field,
knocking on doors and trying to
00:16:54.48\00:16:58.58
bring people closer to Christ,
to let them know that Jesus
00:16:58.61\00:17:03.45
loves them and the good
news about the Jesus Christ and
00:17:03.49\00:17:08.29
Him coming back soon.
00:17:08.32\00:17:10.19
Amen. And what I have
learned, we all need to be fed
00:17:10.23\00:17:17.00
and there are many times when-
ever we are out there on the
00:17:17.03\00:17:19.60
front line fighting the battles
but yet we feel like we just
00:17:19.63\00:17:23.54
need to have a shot of adrenalin
ourselves and I think that
00:17:23.57\00:17:27.58
that's whenever you call
3ABN so that you'll have someone
00:17:27.61\00:17:31.21
there that understands
but more than anything,
00:17:31.25\00:17:35.05
has a relationship
with God that you both share
00:17:35.08\00:17:37.75
and you can share that private
time together in inviting
00:17:37.79\00:17:42.06
the Lord to give us
that strength that we need.
00:17:42.09\00:17:44.33
So as these days you
are out there battling,
00:17:44.36\00:17:47.90
what might be an ordinary
experience that you might have?
00:17:47.93\00:17:51.73
For a lot of people
would probably just throw their
00:17:51.77\00:17:54.24
hands up and say,
I just can't do this.
00:17:54.27\00:17:55.97
But there is something about
you Felicia, that you have this
00:17:56.00\00:17:59.24
determination that you are going
to fight the good fight because
00:17:59.27\00:18:04.61
you know that one of these
days God is coming back for
00:18:04.65\00:18:08.92
the remnant people.
00:18:08.95\00:18:10.35
Hmm. Yes. Definitely.
Well I am the first Adventist
00:18:10.39\00:18:14.89
in my family and so how I
became a Seventh-day Adventist
00:18:14.92\00:18:18.33
was through Bible work
so you know I thought wow,
00:18:18.36\00:18:23.00
Lord, this was the best
thing that ever happened to me.
00:18:23.03\00:18:25.77
And so, once I accepted Christ,
there was just a fire in my
00:18:25.80\00:18:30.97
heart to just go and tell others
because one of my models is,
00:18:31.01\00:18:36.21
one of my favorite hymns
is When We All Get To Heaven,
00:18:36.24\00:18:39.48
you know and it's that
"ALL" part that excites me.
00:18:39.51\00:18:43.25
You know, not just when I get
to heaven, but when we all get
00:18:43.28\00:18:46.59
to heaven, you know, oh what
a wonderful place that will be.
00:18:46.62\00:18:50.23
Amen. Right.
00:18:50.26\00:18:51.59
We all see Jesus and so my
desire is just to go out and
00:18:51.63\00:18:57.87
just tell people about
the love of Christ because um,
00:18:57.90\00:19:02.30
again, I didn't
grow up in church at all.
00:19:02.34\00:19:05.61
When someone came
to me and asked me
00:19:05.64\00:19:08.81
"do you know who God
is", ok, I said God who,
00:19:08.84\00:19:13.98
I'd never seen Him.
00:19:14.02\00:19:15.35
You know but then they made me
realize there is a God out there
00:19:15.38\00:19:19.59
so I just have a desire for
the lost, just like Jesus did.
00:19:19.62\00:19:27.16
Let me ask, how does
3ABN fit into all this?
00:19:27.20\00:19:32.20
Well you know 3ABN, when you
think about how it all started,
00:19:32.23\00:19:38.27
it's just so awesome, Danny
Shelton and the vision that God
00:19:38.31\00:19:44.51
has given him and how far
this whole ministry has come
00:19:44.55\00:19:49.62
it's amazing in how it
is touching so many people
00:19:49.65\00:19:52.79
all over the world is amazing
and just calling in on the
00:19:52.82\00:19:57.96
prayer line knowing that
there are people there that can
00:19:57.99\00:20:00.96
get your prayer through. Amen.
00:20:01.00\00:20:04.53
That is awesome too, and then
wanting to take time just to
00:20:04.57\00:20:08.74
pray, it's just such a blessing.
00:20:08.77\00:20:11.84
Amen. Well I think that we
could go on and talk probably
00:20:11.87\00:20:15.94
for hours on this right here
but to me it has really been
00:20:15.98\00:20:18.81
a blessing because you
are such a child of God
00:20:18.85\00:20:22.15
and I just want you
and the whole world to know
00:20:22.18\00:20:24.42
how much I love you
as a sister in Christ.
00:20:24.45\00:20:26.96
And thank you for coming
over here and taking the time
00:20:26.99\00:20:31.06
out of your daily activities
cause you could choose to be
00:20:31.09\00:20:33.93
anywhere you wanted to be
tonight, but you are here.
00:20:33.96\00:20:36.77
And so, from Felicia and
I both, we just want to say
00:20:36.80\00:20:41.07
God bless each
and every one of you.
00:20:41.10\00:20:43.24
Amen. God bless you all.
00:20:43.27\00:20:46.11
What great testimonies from
the Phoenix Central Seventh-day
00:20:46.14\00:20:50.68
Adventist Church.
00:20:50.71\00:20:52.05
And to think that Felicia
had been calling our prayer line
00:20:52.08\00:20:54.82
for ten years and then she
got the chance to meet J.D.
00:20:54.85\00:20:58.35
to share some of her testimony.
00:20:58.39\00:20:59.72
Right now we are going to
go to the church behind us
00:20:59.75\00:21:02.52
Paradise Valley
Seventh-day Adventist Church.
00:21:02.56\00:21:04.59
A couple nights ago Pr.
John and Angie Lomacang had the
00:21:04.63\00:21:08.63
opportunity to visit with
this precious Romanian couple
00:21:08.66\00:21:12.03
who have been coming to
the meetings and let's listen
00:21:12.07\00:21:14.14
to their story.
00:21:14.17\00:21:15.50
Here we are at the Paradise
Valley Seventh-day Adventist
00:21:18.44\00:21:20.78
Church, just finished a
wonderful meeting and we have
00:21:20.81\00:21:23.51
Stefan & Ana who we met, they
have been coming night to night.
00:21:23.55\00:21:27.05
Tell us, how did you
hear about the meetings.
00:21:27.08\00:21:30.22
Well we have been here in
the church before the start
00:21:30.25\00:21:34.16
but we missed the
first night but then we come,
00:21:34.19\00:21:36.89
we see a lot of the television
with you and we were impressed
00:21:36.93\00:21:42.23
every time we hear and then
we have the opportunity to come
00:21:42.26\00:21:45.87
over here to listen to
the Word of God and we been
00:21:45.90\00:21:48.80
impressed about the speech
that you have and relation
00:21:48.84\00:21:54.54
with God and that was a
very good example for me
00:21:54.58\00:21:58.68
and my family,
my wife and my kids.
00:21:58.71\00:22:00.85
The way I see you live the Word
of God, you and your wife, very
00:22:00.88\00:22:06.72
connected and very good example
for us, we try to step the same
00:22:06.76\00:22:14.00
way you do.
00:22:14.03\00:22:15.66
We try to help each other me
and my wife and it was amazing,
00:22:15.70\00:22:20.24
it was a very very good
example and we hope every night
00:22:20.27\00:22:24.97
to watch your preach on Good
News, we see that and we try to
00:22:25.01\00:22:34.65
be connected, we try to
take more dates and whatever
00:22:34.68\00:22:40.42
we can have to see. It
was a very very wonderful
00:22:40.46\00:22:44.86
example for us.
00:22:44.89\00:22:46.23
Yes. Tonight was
about prayer wasn't it?
00:22:46.26\00:22:48.33
Yes. Did you learn
anything about prayer?
00:22:48.36\00:22:50.70
I see I need to pray more,
so after this night I will pray
00:22:50.73\00:23:02.01
more and I'll sit on my knees
every time I prayer and I know
00:23:02.04\00:23:08.62
God is going to answer.
We are blessed to meet you
00:23:08.68\00:23:11.15
and as I said earlier,
you not just talk the talk,
00:23:11.19\00:23:17.89
you walk the walk, so
we want to live like that.
00:23:17.93\00:23:22.00
What a great interview
with Pr. John and Angie with
00:23:23.60\00:23:26.07
Stepan & Ana and something I
really liked at the end of that
00:23:26.10\00:23:29.67
was Ana said that we met
a pastor and his wife who
00:23:29.70\00:23:32.61
walk the walk, not
just talk it, but walk it.
00:23:32.64\00:23:35.11
And we are standing here
with Pr. John Lomacang and
00:23:35.14\00:23:38.01
that must be incredible PR
John to hear people who see
00:23:38.05\00:23:41.48
that you and Angie are
real genuine Christians.
00:23:41.52\00:23:43.92
You know these meeting
have been such a blessing to get
00:23:43.95\00:23:46.35
not only the chance to
share the Word of God each night
00:23:46.39\00:23:49.19
but we sense in a very real
way God's Holy Spirit working
00:23:49.22\00:23:52.46
through the lives of
people and it was amazing as Ana
00:23:52.49\00:23:55.86
so she said in my country they
say, don't do what the pastor
00:23:55.90\00:23:59.90
does, do what he says.
00:23:59.93\00:24:01.27
And then she said but we
have seen the relationship,
00:24:01.30\00:24:03.94
the connection between
your wife and you which has been
00:24:03.97\00:24:06.57
an encouragement now to
us as a husband and wife and
00:24:06.61\00:24:09.34
that's just been one of the
small nuggets of meeting people
00:24:09.38\00:24:12.38
from night to night
people that have walked in,
00:24:12.41\00:24:14.85
people that have come back
after 30 years, we've seen that.
00:24:14.88\00:24:18.12
And what I've committed myself
to and my wife also is every
00:24:18.15\00:24:21.86
day we pray, we have
our own devotions still.
00:24:21.89\00:24:24.23
We begin in the
morning with our devotions,
00:24:24.26\00:24:26.33
we end by reading the
Bible in the day, we don't allow
00:24:26.36\00:24:29.00
even all this intense
work and the word intense is an
00:24:29.03\00:24:31.80
understatement. {Laughter} Yeah.
00:24:31.83\00:24:33.77
To push out the Lord from our
own lives because feeding people
00:24:33.80\00:24:37.51
the Word of God and
not eating yourself...
00:24:37.54\00:24:39.51
If you could be the best
cook in a gorgeous restaurant
00:24:39.54\00:24:42.34
but you're dying of hunger
so we have our own personal
00:24:42.38\00:24:45.61
commitment to feeding ourselves.
00:24:45.65\00:24:47.05
We've spoken to people who have
said the Lord is getting their
00:24:48.08\00:24:52.15
attention particularly.
00:24:52.19\00:24:53.66
I won't mention names
but there are some people who
00:24:53.69\00:24:56.59
said...One lady one night said
the Lord has been calling her
00:24:56.62\00:25:00.06
out all sermon long and not
even knowing any of the details
00:25:00.10\00:25:03.87
of her private life, she
disclosed how God had spoken
00:25:03.90\00:25:07.04
to her directly and it
was a praise the Lord because
00:25:07.07\00:25:09.94
she says, maybe the Lord is
giving me this final chance.
00:25:09.97\00:25:13.34
And we have communicated to
the God of mercy as well as the
00:25:13.38\00:25:17.35
God of truth so
it's been exciting.
00:25:17.38\00:25:18.88
Amen. So pastor as Director
of World of Evangelism for 3ABN,
00:25:18.91\00:25:22.62
give us just a little
flavor of the whole series here
00:25:22.65\00:25:25.05
cause we're now...
Put a little cap on this
00:25:25.09\00:25:27.39
it's hard to believe we
are actually down to the end,
00:25:27.42\00:25:28.76
isn't it tonight will be
the last meeting here in this
00:25:28.79\00:25:31.13
Paradise Valley
Seventh-day Adventist Church
00:25:31.16\00:25:32.49
but other series have
been going on or other Pr. C.A,
00:25:32.53\00:25:35.23
Shelley Quinn, Pr.
Kenny, Pr. John Dinzey.
00:25:35.26\00:25:37.33
That's right and
Elder Marion too.
00:25:37.37\00:25:39.67
From the Apache Junction Church.
00:25:39.70\00:25:41.04
Yes so give us a little flavor
of what you thought of this
00:25:41.07\00:25:43.54
whole event here.
00:25:43.57\00:25:44.91
It has been a battle, you
know with the health issues
00:25:44.94\00:25:47.34
and the challenge of the colds
and the flu, but each of these
00:25:47.38\00:25:51.01
soldiers have endured
hardship as a good soldier
00:25:51.05\00:25:54.08
and what evangelism really is
is not the ease because we are
00:25:54.12\00:25:58.12
in a battle. We are.
00:25:58.15\00:25:59.49
We're in a battle between
light and dark, good and evil
00:25:59.52\00:26:01.32
but I've seen the dedication
when we talked to Shelley and
00:26:01.36\00:26:05.29
J.D. and J.D. said but
we're down but we are not out,
00:26:05.33\00:26:08.50
we're committed and we
are going to go all the way
00:26:08.53\00:26:10.27
and that was encouraging, I said
are you sure you can make it.
00:26:10.30\00:26:12.83
He said God gives me the
strength when I step into that
00:26:12.87\00:26:15.57
pulpit.
00:26:15.60\00:26:16.94
And I've seen Pr. Kenny
and Chris endure through the
00:26:16.97\00:26:18.97
difficulty and Pr. C.A.
came through his challenge
00:26:19.01\00:26:21.34
and I said to Pr. John Dinzey,
I said is there something about
00:26:21.38\00:26:24.78
having the name John for what-
ever reason God has blessed us
00:26:24.81\00:26:29.32
both. The two John's have
blessed us with good health
00:26:29.35\00:26:31.79
and we praise God for that,
none of us has gotten ill but
00:26:31.82\00:26:34.92
Evangelism is the thing that
re-energizes your batteries,
00:26:34.96\00:26:39.19
gives you hope and says
that regardless of where we
00:26:39.23\00:26:42.66
come from, we all have one
goal and evangelism propels us
00:26:42.70\00:26:46.90
to that goal and that
is to live like Christ here
00:26:46.94\00:26:49.57
and look forward to
the kingdom to come.
00:26:49.60\00:26:51.17
And I know we thank the
conference, the local churches
00:26:51.21\00:26:53.74
for their support as well.
00:26:53.78\00:26:55.11
The conference has been
amazing, I sat down with pastor,
00:26:55.14\00:26:57.61
well the conference president
who is Elder Keys who's from
00:26:57.65\00:27:01.05
the tristate area, New
York, New Jersey, Connecticut,
00:27:01.08\00:27:03.49
and also Pr. Marin, we sat
down and had a wonderful time
00:27:03.52\00:27:06.42
of talking together...
00:27:06.45\00:27:07.79
And they said, they were
not sure how this was going to
00:27:07.82\00:27:09.52
work out, but they were
so thankful that now they see
00:27:09.56\00:27:14.06
3ABN, and I like the way
he says, "we are real people."
00:27:14.10\00:27:17.17
And we are spirit filled people
and that was so encouraging.
00:27:17.20\00:27:21.34
Amen! Amen! Well
thank you so much Pr. John
00:27:21.37\00:27:24.87
for your leadership here and
for the meetings night to night.
00:27:24.91\00:27:28.21
I know you have been following
at home and seeing what God
00:27:28.24\00:27:30.98
is doing in these meetings
and we just to encourage you,
00:27:31.01\00:27:33.48
this is our final meeting,
baptisms will be taking place
00:27:33.52\00:27:36.42
after this.
00:27:36.45\00:27:37.79
And there will be some people
who will be followed up with.
00:27:37.82\00:27:39.49
Maybe several weeks later a
few more baptisms taking place.
00:27:39.52\00:27:42.52
But what an incredible
experience to be here.
00:27:42.56\00:27:45.16
We want to give a special
thanks to the Arizona Conference
00:27:45.19\00:27:48.23
Elder Ed Keyes
and the leadership.
00:27:48.26\00:27:49.90
A special thanks to the
Paradise Valley church and
00:27:49.93\00:27:52.10
Pr. Jim Hakes and his
team and each one of the
00:27:52.13\00:27:55.20
participating churches.
00:27:55.24\00:27:56.57
What God has done here is
amazing and praise the Lord
00:27:56.60\00:27:59.21
that we had a small part
and opportunity to bring that
00:27:59.24\00:28:02.14
to you at home.
00:28:02.18\00:28:03.55
And on behalf of Danny Shelton
our founder and CEO of 3ABN
00:28:03.58\00:28:07.32

thank you for your prayers and
00:28:07.35\00:28:11.35
support for the
ministry of 3ABN.
00:28:11.39\00:28:12.82
Continue to lift up the series
because the work continues
00:28:12.85\00:28:15.99
forward.
00:28:16.02\00:28:17.36
Thank you again. God Bless you.
00:28:17.39\00:28:18.73
We will see you next time.
00:28:18.76\00:28:20.10
