We want to welcome everyone
00:00:32.87\00:00:34.26
to this special
service this afternoon.
00:00:34.29\00:00:38.48
With the cutting of this ribbon,
00:00:38.51\00:00:41.64
we begin the dedication service
00:00:41.67\00:00:44.87
of the Secrets
Unsealed Facility.
00:00:44.90\00:00:48.45
The honor and the glory
00:00:48.48\00:00:50.09
be to our Lord and
Savior Jesus Christ.
00:00:50.12\00:00:52.67
Faith of our
fathers, living still
00:01:16.26\00:01:22.34
In spite of
dungeon, fire and sword
00:01:22.37\00:01:28.68
O how our hearts
beat high with joy
00:01:28.71\00:01:34.80
Whene'er we hear
that glorious word!
00:01:34.83\00:01:40.90
Faith of our
fathers! Holy faith!
00:01:40.93\00:01:47.18
We will be true
to thee till death!
00:01:47.21\00:01:54.44
Our fathers,
chained in prisons dark
00:01:54.47\00:02:00.45
We're still in
heart and conscience free
00:02:00.48\00:02:06.83
And blest would be
their children's fate
00:02:06.86\00:02:13.39
If they, like them
should die for thee
00:02:13.42\00:02:20.01
Faith of our
fathers! Holy faith!
00:02:20.04\00:02:26.70
We will be true
to thee till death!
00:02:26.73\00:02:34.03
Faith of our
fathers, we will strive
00:02:34.06\00:02:40.14
To win all nations unto thee
00:02:40.17\00:02:46.48
And through the
truth that comes from God
00:02:46.51\00:02:52.72
Mankind shall
then indeed be free
00:02:52.75\00:02:59.21
Faith of our
fathers! Holy faith!
00:02:59.24\00:03:05.69
We will be true
to thee till death!
00:03:05.72\00:03:13.13
Faith of our
fathers, we will love
00:03:13.16\00:03:19.70
Both friend and
foe in all our strife
00:03:19.73\00:03:26.06
And preach thee,
too, as love knows how
00:03:26.09\00:03:33.11
By kindly words
and virtuous life
00:03:33.14\00:03:39.94
Faith of our
fathers! Holy faith!
00:03:39.97\00:03:46.82
We will be true
to thee till death!
00:03:46.85\00:03:54.17
Amen. Amen.
00:03:56.59\00:03:58.19
Good afternoon
and happy Sabbath.
00:04:02.73\00:04:04.82
What a wonderful
way to finish off
00:04:04.85\00:04:06.66
a beautiful
Sabbath day here in Fresno.
00:04:06.69\00:04:09.22
Shall we bow our
heads for prayer?
00:04:09.25\00:04:12.94
Our most wonderful and
gracious heavenly Father,
00:04:12.97\00:04:16.35
we come before
Your presence humbled
00:04:16.38\00:04:18.27
by Your goodness and Your mercy.
00:04:18.30\00:04:20.41
We are odd with how You
have grown this ministry
00:04:20.44\00:04:23.25
in such a very short time.
00:04:23.28\00:04:25.11
And we are thankful that
You have given each of us
00:04:25.14\00:04:27.25
the opportunity to serve You
00:04:27.28\00:04:28.89
through the work
of Secrets Unsealed.
00:04:28.92\00:04:31.38
We ask that You
continue to open the doors
00:04:31.41\00:04:33.56
so that Your message can
be heard around the world,
00:04:33.59\00:04:36.54
and to bring Your light
where there is darkness,
00:04:36.57\00:04:39.52
and Your message to
those who are seeking truth.
00:04:39.55\00:04:42.63
Hastening our Lord
and Savior's return
00:04:42.66\00:04:44.76
to gather us together
00:04:44.79\00:04:46.40
and bring us to
that land of glory,
00:04:46.43\00:04:48.31
Your heavenly kingdom.
00:04:48.34\00:04:50.39
OH, we long for that day, Lord.
00:04:50.42\00:04:52.19
Now, Father, as we
are gathered here as one,
00:04:52.22\00:04:54.44
united by our love for You,
00:04:54.47\00:04:56.63
I ask that you bless Elder
Bohr as he speaks Your words.
00:04:56.66\00:05:00.69
Give him strength and guidance,
00:05:00.72\00:05:02.58
send the
indwelling of the Holy Spirit
00:05:02.61\00:05:04.41
into our hearts
00:05:04.44\00:05:05.78
and in this place to
allow our minds to be opened
00:05:05.81\00:05:08.40
and receptive to the message
00:05:08.43\00:05:09.85
you have so graciously
provided through Your Messenger.
00:05:09.88\00:05:13.46
Bless this meeting, Lord.
00:05:13.49\00:05:14.61
We ask all of this
00:05:14.64\00:05:16.17
in the precious
name of our Jesus, amen.
00:05:16.20\00:05:18.90
Amen.
00:05:18.93\00:05:20.20
Our Scripture
reading this afternoon comes
00:05:27.92\00:05:30.89
from the Book of
Revelation 14:6-12.
00:05:30.92\00:05:38.14
It reads "Then I
saw another angel
00:05:38.17\00:05:43.61
flying in the midst of heaven,
00:05:43.64\00:05:45.97
having the everlasting
gospel to preach to those
00:05:46.00\00:05:50.59
who dwell on the earth,
00:05:50.62\00:05:52.62
to every nation,
tribe, tongue, and people
00:05:52.65\00:05:57.02
saying with a loud voice,
00:05:57.05\00:05:59.60
'Fear God and give glory to Him,
00:05:59.63\00:06:03.13
for the hour of
His judgment has come,
00:06:03.16\00:06:07.28
and worship Him
who made the heavens,
00:06:07.31\00:06:10.27
the earth, the sea,
and the springs of water.'
00:06:10.30\00:06:15.31
And another
angel followed, saying,
00:06:15.34\00:06:18.87
'Babylon is fallen, is
fallen, that great city,
00:06:18.90\00:06:24.60
because she made all
nations drink of the wine
00:06:24.63\00:06:29.01
of the wrath of
her fornication.'
00:06:29.04\00:06:32.28
Then a third
angel followed them,
00:06:32.31\00:06:35.54
saying with a loud voice,
00:06:35.57\00:06:37.88
'If anyone worships
the beast and his image,
00:06:37.91\00:06:42.37
and receives his mark on
his forehead or on his hand,
00:06:42.40\00:06:48.69
he himself shall also drink
of the wine of the wrath of God,
00:06:48.72\00:06:55.70
which is poured
out full strength
00:06:55.73\00:06:59.64
into the cup of His indignation.
00:06:59.67\00:07:02.94
He shall be tormented with fire
00:07:02.97\00:07:06.39
and brimstone in the
presence of the holy angels
00:07:06.42\00:07:10.65
and in the presence of the Lamb.
00:07:10.68\00:07:14.30
And the smoke of their torment
ascends forever and ever,
00:07:14.33\00:07:20.05
and they have no
rest day or night,
00:07:20.08\00:07:26.60
who worship the
beast and his image,
00:07:26.63\00:07:29.24
and whoever receives
the mark of his name.'
00:07:29.27\00:07:33.93
Here is the
patience of the saints,
00:07:33.96\00:07:38.09
here are those who
keep the Commandments of God
00:07:38.12\00:07:43.06
and the faith of Jesus."
00:07:43.09\00:07:45.46
May God add a
blessing to the reading
00:07:45.49\00:07:47.27
and the hearing of His word.
00:07:47.30\00:07:49.36
Amen.
00:07:49.39\00:07:50.56
Greetings.
00:07:57.54\00:08:00.12
What a beautiful sight
to see all of these friends
00:08:00.15\00:08:03.88
and supporters
of Secrets Unsealed
00:08:03.91\00:08:05.65
throughout the
course of many years.
00:08:05.68\00:08:08.17
It's a real pleasure
to have all of you here
00:08:08.20\00:08:10.28
this afternoon for
this glorious occasion.
00:08:10.31\00:08:13.42
In the next few minutes
00:08:13.45\00:08:14.57
I want to share with you
some of the important dates
00:08:14.60\00:08:20.36
in the history
of Secrets Unsealed.
00:08:20.39\00:08:23.09
Some of these might appear
to be a little bit tedious,
00:08:23.12\00:08:26.38
but I think it's a good idea
for you to gain understanding
00:08:26.41\00:08:31.66
of how Secrets
Unsealed got started
00:08:31.69\00:08:34.62
and how it has progressed
and what lies in the future.
00:08:34.65\00:08:40.46
So I'm going to
go through a timeline
00:08:40.49\00:08:43.16
in the next few minutes.
00:08:43.19\00:08:45.48
June 5, 2002, I was invited
to present a series of sermons
00:08:45.51\00:08:52.22
at the Meadow Vista
Church near Weimar Institute.
00:08:52.25\00:08:57.23
Providentially the
meetings were postponed.
00:08:57.26\00:09:01.27
I was supposed to speak there
00:09:01.30\00:09:03.14
on December 6th
through 7th, 2012,
00:09:03.17\00:09:06.06
but I was not able
to go at that time.
00:09:06.09\00:09:08.89
That was providential
00:09:08.92\00:09:09.95
because if I'd
spoken at the original date,
00:09:09.98\00:09:13.03
I would not have
met Edmond Matevosian
00:09:13.06\00:09:15.60
whom you will hear
about in a few moments.
00:09:15.63\00:09:19.01
August 23 to 30 of 2002, I
had the privilege of visiting
00:09:19.04\00:09:25.40
River Plate
University in Argentina
00:09:25.43\00:09:28.70
where I preached a series
00:09:28.73\00:09:29.94
on the Three
Angels' Message in Spanish.
00:09:29.97\00:09:32.90
This series was produced
00:09:32.93\00:09:34.86
by the South American
division media center.
00:09:34.89\00:09:38.45
And I was given masters
and this was the first series
00:09:38.48\00:09:41.92
that Secrets
Unsealed had to mark it,
00:09:41.95\00:09:44.46
even before we
produced anything.
00:09:44.49\00:09:47.93
January 17 and 18, 2003,
00:09:47.96\00:09:51.34
is when I finally went
to the Meadow Vista Church.
00:09:51.37\00:09:54.60
If you remember on June 5, 2002,
00:09:54.63\00:09:57.41
they invited me I
was supposed to speak
00:09:57.44\00:09:59.38
December 6th through 7th,
2012, but I ended up speaking
00:09:59.41\00:10:03.93
January 17 and
18 of the year 2003.
00:10:03.96\00:10:08.41
I presented a five part series
there on the Book of Genesis.
00:10:08.44\00:10:13.98
And while I was there, I
met Victor and Lauren Gabriel
00:10:14.01\00:10:19.29
and I also met
Edmond Matevosian.
00:10:19.32\00:10:23.36
After one of my presentations,
00:10:23.39\00:10:24.91
I don't remember
which one it was,
00:10:24.94\00:10:27.22
Edmond came up
to me and he said,
00:10:27.25\00:10:29.00
"Pastor Bohr, you really need
to take these presentations,
00:10:29.03\00:10:34.10
you need to do
them professionally
00:10:34.13\00:10:35.66
for television broadcast."
00:10:35.69\00:10:37.89
And he offered his services.
00:10:37.92\00:10:40.36
He is very, very savvy
when it comes to technology
00:10:40.39\00:10:45.35
and so Edmond
said, "Pastor Bohr,
00:10:45.38\00:10:47.86
I'm willing to help
you establish a ministry
00:10:47.89\00:10:50.95
where you can
produce these presentations
00:10:50.98\00:10:53.71
for television broadcast."
00:10:53.74\00:10:55.65
Present there also were
Larry and Aileen Pyburn.
00:10:55.68\00:10:58.52
So this idea actually
originated with the Pyburn's
00:10:58.55\00:11:02.91
and it originated with Edmond
00:11:02.94\00:11:05.01
and with the Gabriel's
and myself there at Weimar.
00:11:05.04\00:11:09.31
On January 18, 2003,
00:11:09.34\00:11:12.45
I remember exactly where I was,
00:11:12.48\00:11:13.89
I was in the restroom
00:11:13.92\00:11:14.95
there at the
Meadow Vista Church.
00:11:14.98\00:11:18.47
An individual came up to me
00:11:18.50\00:11:21.15
and he did not know about
our conversation with Edmond
00:11:21.18\00:11:23.89
and with the Gabriel's
and with Larry and Aileen.
00:11:23.92\00:11:26.74
And he said, "Pastor Bohr,
00:11:26.77\00:11:28.18
I would like to give you this
donation for your ministry."
00:11:28.21\00:11:32.47
And he gave me a check for $25.
00:11:32.50\00:11:35.36
That was an indication by God
00:11:35.39\00:11:37.35
that God was
putting a down payment
00:11:37.38\00:11:39.85
for a future ministry.
00:11:39.88\00:11:42.55
Now on January 27, 2003,
00:11:42.58\00:11:46.42
a small group of
Fresno Central Church members
00:11:46.45\00:11:50.37
met to consider the possibility
of establishing a ministry
00:11:50.40\00:11:55.35
at Fresno Central
Seventh-day Adventist Church.
00:11:55.38\00:11:58.28
And at that time also we
had a great number of volunteers
00:11:58.31\00:12:01.42
that signed up to help
00:12:01.45\00:12:03.15
if we started a
ministry at our church,
00:12:03.18\00:12:06.03
that was in January 27, 2003.
00:12:06.06\00:12:08.69
We kept a record
of all of these dates
00:12:08.72\00:12:10.43
because we knew
that perhaps someday
00:12:10.46\00:12:12.77
we would have to share with you
00:12:12.80\00:12:15.09
the history of Secrets Unsealed.
00:12:15.12\00:12:18.37
On March 1st, 2003,
00:12:18.40\00:12:21.84
I preached a sermon
at Fresno Central Church
00:12:21.87\00:12:24.91
to throw up a challenge
about starting a ministry.
00:12:24.94\00:12:28.00
At this point, the church had
not bought in to the project.
00:12:28.03\00:12:32.80
I presented how
God had led our family
00:12:32.83\00:12:36.15
to Fresno Central
Church in a miraculous way,
00:12:36.18\00:12:39.98
how the Lord had led in my life,
00:12:40.01\00:12:41.75
I told them the story
about what happened at Weimar
00:12:41.78\00:12:44.69
and at Meadow Vista, and I said
00:12:44.72\00:12:48.32
we need to establish
a video ministry here
00:12:48.35\00:12:50.64
at Fresno Central
Seventh-day Adventist Church.
00:12:50.67\00:12:53.83
At the end of the service
00:12:53.86\00:12:54.94
as I was greeting
the people at the door,
00:12:54.97\00:12:58.69
an individual and I think
00:12:58.72\00:13:00.34
I might be able to
mention his name Irwin Lebo,
00:13:00.37\00:13:03.76
some of you know him.
00:13:03.79\00:13:05.38
He came to the door
and he shook my hand
00:13:05.41\00:13:08.01
and he gave me a
fresh brand new $100 bill.
00:13:08.04\00:13:12.76
That was a second way
in which God was saying,
00:13:12.79\00:13:15.41
even though it was a
little, God was saying
00:13:15.44\00:13:17.49
we want you to
start this ministry.
00:13:17.52\00:13:20.33
On April 22, 2003,
Fresno Central Church Board
00:13:20.36\00:13:25.52
voted
00:13:25.55\00:13:28.96
for the purchase of
video production equipment
00:13:28.99\00:13:31.15
to be installed at
Fresno Central Church.
00:13:31.18\00:13:34.57
That was an awesome undertaking
00:13:34.60\00:13:36.59
because we also
had to put in a brand
00:13:36.62\00:13:38.87
new parking lot
and as those of you
00:13:38.90\00:13:41.54
who belong to
Fresno Central know
00:13:41.57\00:13:43.45
we're always behind
in our church budget.
00:13:43.48\00:13:45.84
But the church
stepped out in faith
00:13:45.87\00:13:48.46
and it said we believe that
this is what God wants us to do.
00:13:48.49\00:13:52.94
And so the church
board voted April 22, 2003,
00:13:52.97\00:13:57.91
to raise
00:13:57.94\00:14:01.76
to buy the production equipment.
00:14:01.79\00:14:04.60
On May 12, 2003,
00:14:04.63\00:14:06.40
we had a special
business session at the church
00:14:06.43\00:14:08.66
because something
like this has to go
00:14:08.69\00:14:10.13
through the church and business.
00:14:10.16\00:14:12.00
And the church and
business almost unanimously
00:14:12.03\00:14:14.69
also voted
00:14:14.72\00:14:19.06
to establish a video ministry
at Fresno Central Church.
00:14:19.09\00:14:24.39
The next month on
June 2 through 5 of 2003,
00:14:24.42\00:14:28.78
I was invited to
speak at Weimar Institute,
00:14:28.81\00:14:31.79
it was actually during a
break, there were no classes,
00:14:31.82\00:14:36.17
and the Gabriel's
invited me to go up there
00:14:36.20\00:14:38.50
and speak in the little
chapel that they used to have.
00:14:38.53\00:14:40.95
Now, you know,
00:14:40.98\00:14:42.01
it's been converted
into kind of a classroom.
00:14:42.04\00:14:44.95
But they invited me to
speak to a group of people
00:14:44.98\00:14:48.60
from the community and Lauren
Gabriel said, "Pastor Bohr,
00:14:48.63\00:14:52.64
this group wants you
to pick up an offering."
00:14:52.67\00:14:55.20
And I told her, you know,
00:14:55.23\00:14:56.63
I really feel
uncomfortable picking up
00:14:56.66\00:14:58.46
an offering in a
church that's not my church.
00:14:58.49\00:15:01.66
She said, "We want you
to pick up an offering."
00:15:01.69\00:15:03.67
Those of you who know Lauren,
00:15:03.70\00:15:05.16
you know that
she doesn't pick no
00:15:05.19\00:15:06.65
for an answer, right, Edmond?
00:15:06.68\00:15:08.35
And so she kept insisting
and I kept on saying no,
00:15:08.38\00:15:11.95
I don't want to
pick up an offering here,
00:15:11.98\00:15:13.49
these are not my members.
00:15:13.52\00:15:15.10
And she said, "Listen,
I've been talking to them
00:15:15.13\00:15:17.29
about the video
project and you can feel safe
00:15:17.32\00:15:20.48
about picking up an offering."
00:15:20.51\00:15:23.05
So I spoke about the ministry,
00:15:23.08\00:15:25.26
explained what we had in mind.
00:15:25.29\00:15:27.64
And that evening with a
group of perhaps 20 people
00:15:27.67\00:15:31.06
that were gathered there,
00:15:31.09\00:15:32.57
we picked up an
offering of $22,000.
00:15:32.60\00:15:36.15
The Lord was telling
us that the video ministry
00:15:36.18\00:15:39.15
was in His plan for us.
00:15:39.18\00:15:42.86
On August 3, 2003,
00:15:42.89\00:15:45.45
a small group of
volunteers met to discuss
00:15:45.48\00:15:49.23
how to give the
ministry a structure.
00:15:49.26\00:15:51.75
And I like to mention that
our first president Terri Lutz
00:15:51.78\00:15:55.04
who had our invocation today,
00:15:55.07\00:15:57.53
she is tremendous when it
comes to organizing things.
00:15:57.56\00:16:01.13
And she was of invaluable help
00:16:01.16\00:16:03.37
when it came to
structuring the ministry.
00:16:03.40\00:16:05.83
Of course, Edmond was there
00:16:05.86\00:16:06.97
and we had several
other individuals there.
00:16:07.00\00:16:09.17
It was a real blessing
00:16:09.20\00:16:10.26
and so we talked
about the departments
00:16:10.29\00:16:12.39
that we needed to
establish, distribution,
00:16:12.42\00:16:15.23
production, marketing
00:16:15.26\00:16:16.61
and all of the
suborders under that.
00:16:16.64\00:16:18.91
And so that took
place August 3, 2003.
00:16:18.94\00:16:25.01
Then October 24 through 26
00:16:25.04\00:16:28.65
and also October 30, 2003,
00:16:28.68\00:16:31.86
we had a visit from 3ABN
to Fresno Central Church.
00:16:31.89\00:16:35.34
Some of you might remember that.
00:16:35.37\00:16:37.96
Actually they came
before the weekend program
00:16:37.99\00:16:41.81
that where they were
here with Danny Shelton
00:16:41.84\00:16:43.99
and with Linda Shelton
and they produced a series
00:16:44.02\00:16:46.93
called New Perspectives
and the Spirit of Prophecy
00:16:46.96\00:16:49.39
which Secrets
Unsealed still carries.
00:16:49.42\00:16:53.27
And during the week
they produced that series
00:16:53.30\00:16:55.30
and then on Sabbath
the 30th of November,
00:16:55.33\00:17:00.47
we had there on-the-road program
at Fresno Central Church.
00:17:00.50\00:17:05.57
This was invaluable to us
00:17:05.60\00:17:08.26
because 3ABN has been
functioning for years.
00:17:08.29\00:17:11.67
They provided all kinds
of very valuable information
00:17:11.70\00:17:14.91
about technical
matters, about lighting,
00:17:14.94\00:17:18.24
and about cameras,
and about production,
00:17:18.27\00:17:20.86
and we're
thankful to 3ABN, C.A.,
00:17:20.89\00:17:23.50
for coming and
helping us during that period.
00:17:23.53\00:17:29.14
Then the fall of 2003,
00:17:29.17\00:17:33.02
we contracted with
an electronics company
00:17:33.05\00:17:36.03
in California called Schneider
00:17:36.06\00:17:37.76
it's one of the
premier electronic companies
00:17:37.79\00:17:39.95
in California.
00:17:39.98\00:17:41.63
And they came and they
installed all of the equipment
00:17:41.66\00:17:44.62
that we have at
Fresno Central Church.
00:17:44.65\00:17:47.52
You know if you are
visiting from out of town,
00:17:47.55\00:17:50.06
I would recommend
that at some point
00:17:50.09\00:17:51.86
before you
leave if it's possible
00:17:51.89\00:17:54.10
that you give us the opportunity
00:17:54.13\00:17:56.08
to take you over to
Fresno Central Church
00:17:56.11\00:17:58.77
so that you can see how
our people operate there.
00:17:58.80\00:18:02.66
It's amazing.
00:18:02.69\00:18:03.83
There is a
little cubical upstairs
00:18:03.86\00:18:06.35
and in that little cubical,
00:18:06.38\00:18:07.76
you have to enter
practically walk-in sideways
00:18:07.79\00:18:10.97
and you have
three or four people
00:18:11.00\00:18:12.45
and they are
doing production and,
00:18:12.48\00:18:14.55
you know, even though
there is an air-conditioner,
00:18:14.58\00:18:16.49
it gets kind of warm in there,
00:18:16.52\00:18:18.49
but all of the equipment
was installed to the last inch,
00:18:18.52\00:18:22.82
everything was
planned by an engineer.
00:18:22.85\00:18:25.75
And so everything fits in place
00:18:25.78\00:18:27.79
and Schneider installed
all of the equipment there
00:18:27.82\00:18:30.16
and the cameras et cetera.
00:18:30.19\00:18:32.55
The second week
of December of 2003,
00:18:32.58\00:18:36.89
our technical crew as
well as the cinematographers
00:18:36.92\00:18:40.66
or the camera
operators were trained.
00:18:40.69\00:18:43.43
And on December 20, 2003,
00:18:43.46\00:18:46.59
we have the first videotaping
00:18:46.62\00:18:49.23
of a Fresno
Central worship service.
00:18:49.26\00:18:52.21
It had no sound, but
the video looked good.
00:18:52.24\00:18:58.08
We were still
learning to operate the system.
00:18:58.11\00:19:00.89
So somebody forgot
to turn on some switch
00:19:00.92\00:19:03.86
somewhere I suppose.
00:19:03.89\00:19:06.13
Now the good news
is that on December 31,
00:19:06.16\00:19:08.42
remember that at
the beginning of 2003
00:19:08.45\00:19:10.85
we had launched the campaign
00:19:10.88\00:19:13.08
to raise the funds
for the video ministry.
00:19:13.11\00:19:15.45
December 31, 2003,
Fresno Central Church
00:19:15.48\00:19:19.75
had raised
along with the $22,000
00:19:19.78\00:19:21.86
and a few other donations
00:19:21.89\00:19:27.42
for the video ministry.
00:19:27.45\00:19:28.98
Besides that we put
in a new parking lot
00:19:29.01\00:19:32.60
without any indebtedness
00:19:32.63\00:19:34.69
and we ended
$14,000 in the black
00:19:34.72\00:19:37.54
in our church budget.
00:19:37.57\00:19:39.06
It's one of the
greatest years financially
00:19:39.09\00:19:41.23
that Fresno Central
has ever had at least
00:19:41.26\00:19:44.22
while I've been here.
00:19:44.25\00:19:46.32
On February 29, 2004,
00:19:46.35\00:19:49.70
we adopted our
name Secrets Unsealed.
00:19:49.73\00:19:52.71
They were many, many
names that were suggested,
00:19:52.74\00:19:54.87
but you know we had
a company search to see
00:19:54.90\00:19:57.13
if those names were taken
and every time that we searched,
00:19:57.16\00:20:00.06
the name was taken.
00:20:00.09\00:20:01.68
But finally we
suggested Secrets Unsealed
00:20:01.71\00:20:05.31
and the reason why is because
00:20:05.34\00:20:07.03
God reveals His
secrets through the prophets
00:20:07.06\00:20:10.85
and the little
Book of Daniel 12:4
00:20:10.88\00:20:13.08
unsealed in the time of the end.
00:20:13.11\00:20:14.56
So we have a
specific biblical reason
00:20:14.59\00:20:16.82
why we are
called Secrets Unsealed.
00:20:16.85\00:20:20.46
February 29
through March 27 of 2004,
00:20:20.49\00:20:24.44
we did our first
series production.
00:20:24.47\00:20:27.67
We produced the Three
Angels' Message series,
00:20:27.70\00:20:31.71
that is the
original series not the one
00:20:31.74\00:20:34.34
that we have
available to the public now,
00:20:34.37\00:20:36.78
it is the original
series which we no longer carry
00:20:36.81\00:20:40.41
because we were still
learning the technology.
00:20:40.44\00:20:43.33
You look at the
first several presentations
00:20:43.36\00:20:46.02
and I looked
like Casper the Ghost.
00:20:46.05\00:20:49.10
My face is all washed out
00:20:49.13\00:20:50.89
and the color
balancing isn't good
00:20:50.92\00:20:52.61
and there's
issues with the sound,
00:20:52.64\00:20:54.34
but at least we
had already launched
00:20:54.37\00:20:56.33
the idea of producing series,
00:20:56.36\00:20:59.63
longer series which eventually
we expanded to 25 parts,
00:20:59.66\00:21:04.20
which is the
series that we have now.
00:21:04.23\00:21:06.53
On March 16, 2004,
00:21:06.56\00:21:09.50
Secrets Unsealed
board members were voted in.
00:21:09.53\00:21:13.47
We've had to
establish the board,
00:21:13.50\00:21:14.79
we need it to have that
00:21:14.82\00:21:15.85
in order to gain
a nonprofit status.
00:21:15.88\00:21:18.69
And on March 31st 2004,
00:21:18.72\00:21:22.34
we were finally,
00:21:22.37\00:21:23.42
we finally signed the
papers of incorporation
00:21:23.45\00:21:26.60
as a 501c3
nonprofit organization.
00:21:26.63\00:21:31.35
On May 8, 2004,
00:21:31.38\00:21:33.61
we had Secrets
Unsealed video equipment
00:21:33.64\00:21:37.34
dedication
Sabbath at the church.
00:21:37.37\00:21:39.73
Some of you might remember that.
00:21:39.76\00:21:41.53
We dedicated a whole Sabbath
to have a special service
00:21:41.56\00:21:46.87
to dedicate our
equipment to the Lord.
00:21:46.90\00:21:49.82
And I might say that even though
00:21:49.85\00:21:52.66
that equipment has been
there for about 10 years,
00:21:52.69\00:21:55.40
we have that very few problems
with our system at the church.
00:21:55.43\00:22:00.01
We've had problems
with our streaming,
00:22:00.04\00:22:02.36
but we have not
have hardly any problems
00:22:02.39\00:22:04.71
with the production equipment
00:22:04.74\00:22:06.89
that we have there, in
fact it is still functional.
00:22:06.92\00:22:09.97
It's the equipment that we use
for the production this morning.
00:22:10.00\00:22:12.99
So it's amazing how
00:22:13.02\00:22:14.93
when we dedicate
something to the Lord,
00:22:14.96\00:22:16.51
Lord is going to bless.
00:22:16.54\00:22:20.02
2004 also we established
00:22:20.05\00:22:24.15
kind of a small
distribution department
00:22:24.18\00:22:26.22
where things will
duplicated and were shipped
00:22:26.25\00:22:30.99
and that of course
started at Fresno Central Church
00:22:31.02\00:22:34.41
in the room where
some of us had lunch today
00:22:34.44\00:22:37.26
that's where the
distribution center used to be.
00:22:37.29\00:22:41.28
And also in 2004,
00:22:41.31\00:22:43.53
Secrets Unsealed began its
operations in two small rooms
00:22:43.56\00:22:48.88
which you are
watching on the screen
00:22:48.91\00:22:50.60
at Fresno Central Church.
00:22:50.63\00:22:52.38
It's amazing how cramped it was.
00:22:52.41\00:22:56.02
Sometimes we had as
many as four or five people
00:22:56.05\00:22:58.49
working on the call center,
just a little cubical of a room
00:22:58.52\00:23:01.81
and the distribution
center was just a small room
00:23:01.84\00:23:05.49
and we operated there actually
00:23:05.52\00:23:08.09
until we moved
over to this building.
00:23:08.12\00:23:11.67
In 2005, the call
center was officially moved
00:23:11.70\00:23:16.40
from the Pyburn residence
00:23:16.43\00:23:18.71
because the call
center functioned
00:23:18.74\00:23:20.43
in Aileen and Larry's house.
00:23:20.46\00:23:22.09
It was moved there to this
room at Fresno Central Church.
00:23:22.12\00:23:27.36
And we had two volunteers
come in and work there
00:23:27.39\00:23:31.27
in the call center
on a volunteer basis.
00:23:31.30\00:23:34.20
I might say that and
this is very important
00:23:34.23\00:23:37.49
that we've had three individuals
00:23:37.52\00:23:38.82
that worked for Secrets Unsealed
00:23:38.85\00:23:40.57
as volunteers for three years
00:23:40.60\00:23:42.38
fulltime without
any remuneration.
00:23:42.41\00:23:44.92
One of those
people was Aileen Pyburn,
00:23:44.95\00:23:47.71
she operated the call
center there in her home
00:23:47.74\00:23:50.77
Virginia Flores
helped her there as well.
00:23:50.80\00:23:54.30
We also had Darren Vecchiarelli,
00:23:54.33\00:23:56.29
he worked also
without any remuneration
00:23:56.32\00:23:59.46
for three years and my son Steve
00:23:59.49\00:24:01.72
also worked for
the same period of time
00:24:01.75\00:24:03.82
as pure
volunteers almost fulltime.
00:24:03.85\00:24:07.04
And they kept on saying
"When are you gonna pay us?"
00:24:07.07\00:24:11.28
And I kept on
saying just be patient,
00:24:11.31\00:24:13.46
just be
patient, you will be paid
00:24:13.49\00:24:16.06
and so I have
fulfilled my promise.
00:24:16.09\00:24:19.35
And the Lord has been
very, very good to us.
00:24:19.38\00:24:22.23
On November 11, 2005,
00:24:22.26\00:24:25.62
Danny Shelton, we
called Danny Shelton
00:24:25.65\00:24:27.69
because we wanted to be on 3ABN.
00:24:27.72\00:24:29.68
We knew that to
have worldwide exposure
00:24:29.71\00:24:32.08
we needed to be on
the television channel.
00:24:32.11\00:24:34.76
And so Aileen
spoke with Danny Shelton
00:24:34.79\00:24:38.41
on November 11, 2005,
00:24:38.44\00:24:41.11
and Danny Shelton made
it possible financially
00:24:41.14\00:24:44.27
along with
Mollie Steenson for us
00:24:44.30\00:24:47.97
to broadcast our programming
00:24:48.00\00:24:50.81
at a
drastically discounted rate.
00:24:50.84\00:24:53.89
And we are eternally
thankful to Danny Shelton
00:24:53.92\00:24:57.01
and to Mollie Steenson
as well as everyone at 3ABN
00:24:57.04\00:25:02.67
for their
willingness to work with us
00:25:02.70\00:25:05.01
while we didn't have a
lot of financial backing.
00:25:05.04\00:25:08.56
3ABN has been just a blessing
to us all the way through
00:25:08.59\00:25:11.89
we've had a wonderful
working partnership with them
00:25:11.92\00:25:15.65
and we praise the Lord
that the Lord has raised up 3ABN
00:25:15.68\00:25:20.37
for a time such as this.
00:25:20.40\00:25:22.84
That was on November 11, 2005,
00:25:22.87\00:25:25.39
and then December of 2005,
00:25:25.42\00:25:28.34
we signed a contract with 3ABN
00:25:28.37\00:25:31.40
to begin broadcasting
our programs in English.
00:25:31.43\00:25:35.54
And January 1, 2006,
00:25:35.57\00:25:38.05
Secrets Unsealed
began broadcasting
00:25:38.08\00:25:40.78
Cracking the
Genesis Code on 3ABN.
00:25:40.81\00:25:45.10
And of course Aileen I
call her dollar signs Aileen
00:25:45.13\00:25:50.34
because she has
dollars signs in her eyeballs
00:25:50.37\00:25:53.05
and of course that's her job,
00:25:53.08\00:25:54.91
she is the
marketing director, right?
00:25:54.94\00:25:57.21
But anyway, you know,
while we were on the air,
00:25:57.24\00:26:00.06
the first day
she received a call
00:26:00.09\00:26:02.95
from one of the
viewers to make an order.
00:26:02.98\00:26:05.34
She was just totally elated.
00:26:05.37\00:26:07.54
She was jumping up and down
00:26:07.57\00:26:09.44
knowing that our programming
had already made an impact.
00:26:09.47\00:26:13.37
On February 1, 2006,
00:26:13.40\00:26:15.67
we began broadcasting
on 3ABN Latino, in Spanish,
00:26:15.70\00:26:20.36
and as you know I have
the privilege of speaking
00:26:20.39\00:26:24.41
the language of heaven Spanish,
00:26:24.44\00:26:26.59
don't get mad at me now.
00:26:26.62\00:26:28.77
It's a much more consistent
language than English,
00:26:28.80\00:26:30.99
but really I think we're
gonna speak English in heaven
00:26:31.02\00:26:33.37
because Americans can't learn
any other language they say.
00:26:33.40\00:26:38.32
Anyway on February 1, 2006,
00:26:38.35\00:26:40.68
Secrets Unsealed
signed a contract
00:26:40.71\00:26:43.11
to broadcast on 3ABN Latino.
00:26:43.14\00:26:47.11
March 2006, we had
our first two individuals
00:26:47.14\00:26:51.71
that we add into our payroll
00:26:51.74\00:26:53.24
which were Darren Vecchiarelli,
00:26:53.27\00:26:55.11
our distribution
director till this day
00:26:55.14\00:26:57.60
and Steve, my son,
00:26:57.63\00:26:58.76
who is the director of
the production department
00:26:58.79\00:27:01.18
of Secrets Unsealed.
00:27:01.21\00:27:02.79
As I mentioned they
had worked for three years
00:27:02.82\00:27:05.43
without any remuneration
00:27:05.46\00:27:07.05
because they believed
in what we were doing.
00:27:07.08\00:27:10.16
And then on September
2006, just a few months later,
00:27:10.19\00:27:14.60
Aileen Pyburn was
added to our payroll
00:27:14.63\00:27:17.62
and she became
our marketing director
00:27:17.65\00:27:19.73
and thus we had the three main
departments of Secrets Unsealed
00:27:19.76\00:27:24.07
which is
marketing, distribution,
00:27:24.10\00:27:26.61
and production in place.
00:27:26.64\00:27:29.61
Now December 2008,
00:27:29.64\00:27:32.92
we decided that we
would begin a project
00:27:32.95\00:27:35.73
to raise funds to get a better
facility than just the two rooms
00:27:35.76\00:27:40.61
that we had at
Fresno Central Church.
00:27:40.64\00:27:42.73
Because we are severely outgrown
00:27:42.76\00:27:44.91
our two rooms
over at the church.
00:27:44.94\00:27:47.53
And so we began a
fundraising campaign
00:27:47.56\00:27:50.04
which we called
phase number one.
00:27:50.07\00:27:53.76
And basically the
idea was to raise enough
00:27:53.79\00:27:57.00
money to purchase a building.
00:27:57.03\00:27:59.48
Now I'll tell you a
little bit more about
00:27:59.51\00:28:00.89
that in a few moments.
00:28:00.92\00:28:02.92
2009, I'll go little bit ahead
00:28:02.95\00:28:05.21
and then I will come back
to the fundraising campaign.
00:28:05.24\00:28:07.62
2009, we had our first
Secrets Unsealed summit.
00:28:07.65\00:28:12.37
Basically that's
our yearly convention,
00:28:12.40\00:28:14.49
we had it at Tenaya Lodge.
00:28:14.52\00:28:16.41
And by the way this
year again Lord willing
00:28:16.44\00:28:19.55
we are going to have
our summit at Tenaya Lodge
00:28:19.58\00:28:23.61
during the weekend of Halloween,
00:28:23.64\00:28:26.30
the last weekend of October.
00:28:26.33\00:28:28.64
And so, you know, if you
are interested in coming,
00:28:28.67\00:28:30.59
it's a wonderful place to go,
00:28:30.62\00:28:32.13
we have wonderful speakers
that are gonna be coming,
00:28:32.16\00:28:34.63
we have Randy Skeete
and we have Neil Nedley
00:28:34.66\00:28:37.93
that are gonna be coming
and special guest speakers,
00:28:37.96\00:28:40.33
there'll be a lots of good food,
00:28:40.36\00:28:41.94
lots of fresh
air, beautiful scenery.
00:28:41.97\00:28:44.79
And so I encourage you
00:28:44.82\00:28:46.36
if you can to
come to our summit.
00:28:46.39\00:28:48.91
The first summit
we had 207 people
00:28:48.94\00:28:51.69
that attended
besides all of our staff.
00:28:51.72\00:28:55.11
In July 2010,
something else happened
00:28:55.14\00:28:58.88
that showed that God was
helping us and blessing us.
00:28:58.91\00:29:03.21
I had gone up to
speak in Washington State
00:29:03.24\00:29:06.50
at the GYC event and
there was a gentleman there
00:29:06.53\00:29:10.89
and I can mention his
name, his name is Phil Dieter
00:29:10.92\00:29:13.95
and he had setup
complete production studio
00:29:13.98\00:29:16.88
with HD cameras and everything.
00:29:16.91\00:29:19.20
And he had not used
it because the speaker
00:29:19.23\00:29:22.28
that he had planned to tape,
00:29:22.31\00:29:24.18
it didn't pan out
and so he had this room
00:29:24.21\00:29:27.06
full of brand new
production equipment
00:29:27.09\00:29:29.77
with all of the
cameras and the switcher
00:29:29.80\00:29:32.99
and just everything.
00:29:33.02\00:29:34.80
And so he asked me there
00:29:34.83\00:29:36.19
whether we would be interested
in having that equipment
00:29:36.22\00:29:39.90
and he said, "I'm
willing to donate it."
00:29:39.93\00:29:42.28
And so he donated,
00:29:42.31\00:29:43.83
I think it was
close to maybe $80,000
00:29:43.86\00:29:46.67
worth of brand new equipment.
00:29:46.70\00:29:48.55
And we were able to use this
equipment to tape our summits
00:29:48.58\00:29:52.60
because it's the
kind of equipment
00:29:52.63\00:29:54.47
that you can carry on the road.
00:29:54.50\00:29:56.13
And so as we did our summits
00:29:56.16\00:29:58.38
throughout the
course of the years,
00:29:58.41\00:29:59.85
we cannot move the equipment
00:29:59.88\00:30:01.37
that we have at the church
because it's set in place,
00:30:01.40\00:30:03.77
but now we had a system
00:30:03.80\00:30:05.68
where we could
carry it wherever we went.
00:30:05.71\00:30:08.21
And so Steve
and I rented a truck
00:30:08.24\00:30:11.44
and we went up
there and picked up
00:30:11.47\00:30:12.99
all of the
equipment and came down
00:30:13.02\00:30:15.00
and unloaded the
equipment here the church
00:30:15.03\00:30:19.01
and actually restored
it in Daryl's mini storage.
00:30:19.04\00:30:23.01
June of 2011,
this is a key date,
00:30:23.04\00:30:26.71
Aileen and
Larry had been looking
00:30:26.74\00:30:29.06
for a place for Secrets Unsealed
to function in a better way
00:30:29.09\00:30:35.30
and they drove by this building
00:30:35.33\00:30:37.55
and there was a sign in front
00:30:37.58\00:30:38.81
that said, "For
sale or for a lease."
00:30:38.84\00:30:41.87
The building was
selling for $729,000.
00:30:41.90\00:30:47.06
So, Larry and Aileen,
you know, they decided
00:30:47.09\00:30:49.01
that they would come
and make an appointment
00:30:49.04\00:30:51.85
and look at the building.
00:30:51.88\00:30:54.10
And as Larry and Aileen
walk through the building
00:30:54.13\00:30:56.16
they said this is
absolutely perfect
00:30:56.19\00:30:59.38
for what Secrets Unsealed needs.
00:30:59.41\00:31:01.50
All of the offices, if
you haven't taken a tour
00:31:01.53\00:31:05.48
I would recommend
that after the program
00:31:05.51\00:31:07.99
you take a tour of our facility
00:31:08.02\00:31:09.88
it's very
beautiful and very nice.
00:31:09.91\00:31:12.56
All that is beyond
this area was already there.
00:31:12.59\00:31:17.69
All of the offices were
already there which is amazing.
00:31:17.72\00:31:21.04
The exact
configuration that we needed
00:31:21.07\00:31:23.77
to operate was already here.
00:31:23.80\00:31:26.15
God already knew
that we needed this place.
00:31:26.18\00:31:29.50
And so on November 3, 2011,
Ivan Morford who is a realtor
00:31:29.53\00:31:36.19
here in town
Seventh-day Adventist,
00:31:36.22\00:31:37.78
Aileen Pyburn, and myself
sat down with Ron Rodgers,
00:31:37.81\00:31:41.47
the owner of this building,
00:31:41.50\00:31:44.71
to potentially
begin negotiations
00:31:44.74\00:31:47.22
to purchase this building
that we're in right now.
00:31:47.25\00:31:51.59
And it sounded pretty
good and on November 29, 2011,
00:31:51.62\00:31:58.90
we actually signed
a purchase contract
00:31:58.93\00:32:02.34
with Ron Rodgers to
purchase this building.
00:32:02.37\00:32:05.49
That was November 29, 2011.
00:32:05.52\00:32:08.54
On February of the
year 2012, escrow closed
00:32:08.57\00:32:15.21
and we took
ownership but not occupancy
00:32:15.24\00:32:20.56
because we still
did not have the money
00:32:20.59\00:32:23.06
to finish paying
for this building.
00:32:23.09\00:32:26.38
By the way the final price
of the building was $675,000
00:32:26.41\00:32:33.23
and that's quite a bit
less than the $729,000.
00:32:33.26\00:32:36.53
It was at the time when real
estate was not doing real well.
00:32:36.56\00:32:40.01
And so it was a blessing for us
00:32:40.04\00:32:42.78
to get this
facility for $675,000.
00:32:42.81\00:32:47.50
And I might say
that he also left
00:32:47.53\00:32:50.20
the chairs and the
table in the conference room.
00:32:50.23\00:32:52.96
Very beautiful table
and very beautiful chairs
00:32:52.99\00:32:57.31
as well as all of the desks
that are found in my office
00:32:57.34\00:33:01.77
were actually donated by him.
00:33:01.80\00:33:02.96
And something else that he did,
he totally painted the facility
00:33:02.99\00:33:07.70
and he gave it to us
in pristine condition.
00:33:07.73\00:33:10.56
And we thank Ron
Rodgers for that,
00:33:10.59\00:33:12.51
Ron Rodgers
painting here in town.
00:33:12.54\00:33:15.22
On June 4, 2012, we're
getting nearer to our time now.
00:33:15.25\00:33:19.88
The seller permitted
us to enter this place
00:33:19.91\00:33:23.27
even though we had not
fully paid for the building.
00:33:23.30\00:33:27.19
We needed to make some changes
00:33:27.22\00:33:29.11
especially in
the call center area.
00:33:29.14\00:33:31.06
We needed to
reconfigure something
00:33:31.09\00:33:33.39
that we needed to
purchase some furniture.
00:33:33.42\00:33:35.83
And he let us
come in to do that.
00:33:35.86\00:33:39.45
We owed $50,000
still on the building.
00:33:39.48\00:33:43.83
This is June 4 and we
had to pay by June 15.
00:33:43.86\00:33:49.96
The interesting thing is
God has the sense of humor.
00:33:49.99\00:33:53.67
You know, what happened was
00:33:53.70\00:33:56.26
at the very next
week after June 4,
00:33:56.29\00:33:59.44
we had a gentleman that called
00:33:59.47\00:34:01.11
from one of the
states in the United States
00:34:01.14\00:34:04.57
and he said, "You
know, I've been reading
00:34:04.60\00:34:07.14
about your construction project,
00:34:07.17\00:34:09.55
about your
purchasing the building
00:34:09.58\00:34:11.48
and I was wondering how
much money you still owe."
00:34:11.51\00:34:15.91
And I said, well, you
know, we owe at least $50,000.
00:34:15.94\00:34:19.62
He said, "You can
count on the $50,000."
00:34:19.65\00:34:23.56
And so in two or three days
00:34:23.59\00:34:26.56
we had a check in
the mail for $50,000.
00:34:26.59\00:34:31.46
$40,000 was to finish
paint for the building
00:34:31.49\00:34:34.80
and $10,000 was to help
00:34:34.83\00:34:37.32
make all of the configuration
changes in the call center.
00:34:37.35\00:34:41.28
Simply amazing.
00:34:41.31\00:34:43.18
On June 15, 2012,
that's a watershed date,
00:34:43.21\00:34:47.86
June 15, 2012, we
moved into this building,
00:34:47.89\00:34:54.00
5949 East Clinton.
00:34:54.03\00:34:57.72
And when we moved in we
moved in totally debt free.
00:34:57.75\00:35:03.81
In other words we owe,
00:35:03.84\00:35:04.87
we have no
mortgage on this building.
00:35:04.90\00:35:09.46
Now September--
actually June 18, 2012,
00:35:09.49\00:35:14.38
we began
operations in this building.
00:35:14.41\00:35:17.22
See we entered on June 15,
00:35:17.25\00:35:18.91
but we've began
operating on June 18.
00:35:18.94\00:35:22.59
In September, 2012, we
had our Secrets Unsealed sign
00:35:22.62\00:35:27.88
placed in front of the building.
00:35:27.91\00:35:30.54
You'll notice
that it has a big seal
00:35:30.57\00:35:32.68
with the Three Angels.
00:35:32.71\00:35:34.47
And we have had people
coming off of the street
00:35:34.50\00:35:38.03
to ask us what it's all about.
00:35:38.06\00:35:40.76
You know, we even
had one person come in
00:35:40.79\00:35:42.64
and saying "Is this some
type of lingerie company?"
00:35:42.67\00:35:47.90
And we said, no,
no, no, it isn't.
00:35:47.93\00:35:50.86
This is a Christian ministry
00:35:50.89\00:35:52.75
and we were able
to witness to them
00:35:52.78\00:35:54.68
and they were impressed about
the kind of work that we do.
00:35:54.71\00:35:59.52
So on September 2012, we
put up our sign with the logo
00:35:59.55\00:36:04.34
which is a living
testimony to this area
00:36:04.37\00:36:07.98
about what we are all about.
00:36:08.01\00:36:11.16
But this half of the
building was totally empty,
00:36:11.19\00:36:15.44
it was a great big warehouse.
00:36:15.47\00:36:18.12
We had nowhere to do production
00:36:18.15\00:36:20.07
and we had no place really
00:36:20.10\00:36:22.48
to adequately distribute
and store our material.
00:36:22.51\00:36:26.70
So we began what
we called phase two.
00:36:26.73\00:36:30.26
And phase two had the
purpose of raising enough funds
00:36:30.29\00:36:33.24
for production
studio, a distribution center
00:36:33.27\00:36:36.62
and all of our
production equipment.
00:36:36.65\00:36:39.22
For this we needed
00:36:39.25\00:36:43.84
to build the
studio the way you see it
00:36:43.87\00:36:45.89
and the
distribution center next door
00:36:45.92\00:36:48.02
as well as
purchasing all of the cameras,
00:36:48.05\00:36:50.23
as well as all of the equipment
00:36:50.26\00:36:51.97
that we have in
the production area
00:36:52.00\00:36:55.27
and we did not have any money.
00:36:55.30\00:36:57.91
But we started our fundraising.
00:36:57.94\00:37:00.95
On June 3, 2013,
we signed a contract
00:37:00.98\00:37:06.45
with Don Pickett & Associates,
00:37:06.48\00:37:08.40
one of the
premier building companies
00:37:08.43\00:37:11.66
here in the Fresno Area.
00:37:11.69\00:37:14.15
And August of 2013, the
construction of the studio
00:37:14.18\00:37:18.69
and the
distribution center began.
00:37:18.72\00:37:22.06
We had a summit in October
2013 and we made a pledge there,
00:37:22.09\00:37:27.45
we asked our
supporters to donate
00:37:27.48\00:37:33.14
to the new production center
and the distribution center.
00:37:33.17\00:37:37.54
And when we picked up
the offering at the summit,
00:37:37.57\00:37:40.39
this was October of last year,
00:37:40.42\00:37:42.86
we had received
$150,000 in one offering
00:37:42.89\00:37:47.49
to build this production center
00:37:47.52\00:37:49.45
and to build the
distribution center.
00:37:49.48\00:37:52.76
October 2013, the
building project began
00:37:52.79\00:37:57.31
and it was completed debt free.
00:37:57.34\00:38:00.74
One thing that we decided
to do from the very start
00:38:00.77\00:38:04.16
is that we are going to
operate without any debt.
00:38:04.19\00:38:07.88
We are going to
operate debt free
00:38:07.91\00:38:10.36
and that's the best
way to do it we believe.
00:38:10.39\00:38:13.87
And I think that people
who donate to our ministry
00:38:13.90\00:38:17.23
respect that view that we have.
00:38:17.26\00:38:21.06
In March of
2014, building project
00:38:21.09\00:38:24.85
of the phase three
which is a production studio
00:38:24.88\00:38:27.41
and the distribution
center was finished.
00:38:27.44\00:38:31.12
Our campaign to raise
the funds for the building,
00:38:31.15\00:38:33.87
the production studio
and the distribution center
00:38:33.90\00:38:36.46
lasted for five
years and three months.
00:38:36.49\00:38:39.62
And in the process of
five years and three months,
00:38:39.65\00:38:42.84
we had donations in the
amount of $1.5 million to setup
00:38:42.87\00:38:48.24
what we have here
at Secrets Unsealed.
00:38:48.27\00:38:51.92
From March 17 to 22 of 2014,
00:38:51.95\00:38:55.64
we had our first
Anchor School of theology.
00:38:55.67\00:38:59.21
You see we want to
run a theology school
00:38:59.24\00:39:01.18
where we have a one week
intensive at least each year
00:39:01.21\00:39:03.60
to cover one of the
fundamental doctrines
00:39:03.63\00:39:05.56
of the Adventist Church.
00:39:05.59\00:39:07.13
And so we had that
and interestingly enough,
00:39:07.16\00:39:10.54
we had 49 students that attended
the Anchor School of theology.
00:39:10.57\00:39:16.04
They came from 5 countries and
14 states of the United States.
00:39:16.07\00:39:20.81
Then on May 8 through 11, 2014,
00:39:20.84\00:39:24.52
we had the first session
00:39:24.55\00:39:26.50
of the Spanish
Anchor Bible School.
00:39:26.53\00:39:29.47
We studied Daniel Chapter
2, Daniel 7, Revelation 12,
00:39:29.50\00:39:33.21
Revelation 13 and
Revelation Chapter 17.
00:39:33.24\00:39:36.90
We had people from El Salvador
00:39:36.93\00:39:38.92
and from many states
in the United States.
00:39:38.95\00:39:42.35
And of course
today is June 14, 2014,
00:39:42.38\00:39:48.69
and it is our
dedication Sabbath.
00:39:48.72\00:39:50.75
We want to
dedicate this building
00:39:50.78\00:39:52.43
to our Lord and
Savior Jesus Christ.
00:39:52.46\00:39:55.72
Praise the Lord for
everything that He has done.
00:39:55.75\00:39:59.46
We can't help but marvelous
00:39:59.49\00:40:01.07
we see how God has led
His leading and undoubtedly
00:40:01.10\00:40:05.39
will lead in the future.
00:40:05.42\00:40:09.53
Was that helpful? Yes.
00:40:09.56\00:40:11.40
I hope it was helpful.
00:40:11.43\00:40:13.45
Now I would like to
take the opportunity
00:40:13.48\00:40:15.87
now to recognize the
founders of Secrets Unsealed.
00:40:15.90\00:40:22.85
Those are the core group
00:40:22.88\00:40:24.51
that had the vision
to start this ministry.
00:40:24.54\00:40:27.56
And the founders are and we have
the some of them present here.
00:40:27.59\00:40:32.39
First of all, Alfred Brown.
00:40:32.42\00:40:34.57
Do you know Al Brown? Yeah.
00:40:34.60\00:40:36.38
You know, Al Brown has a
lot to say about me being here.
00:40:36.41\00:40:42.81
I was invited to the Clovis
Seventh-day Adventist Church
00:40:42.84\00:40:45.82
to present a series that was
before I came to Fresno Central.
00:40:45.85\00:40:49.16
Several central
members went over there.
00:40:49.19\00:40:51.51
The church Fresno
Central at that time
00:40:51.54\00:40:53.73
was without a senior pastor.
00:40:53.76\00:40:55.85
When they listened they said,
00:40:55.88\00:40:57.08
"We'd like you to
come to Fresno Central."
00:40:57.11\00:40:59.22
And so I ended up here
00:40:59.25\00:41:00.97
and I've been
here close to 19 years,
00:41:01.00\00:41:02.67
going on 19 years now.
00:41:02.70\00:41:04.75
And so, Al Brown had a lot to do
00:41:04.78\00:41:06.81
with the
founding of this ministry.
00:41:06.84\00:41:09.77
Yesterday we went to
his house, we visited him
00:41:09.80\00:41:12.17
and we took this
beautiful picture of him
00:41:12.20\00:41:15.19
with a semi-smile on his face.
00:41:15.22\00:41:18.86
Another founder
is Edmond Matevosian.
00:41:18.89\00:41:21.67
He is right here in front.
00:41:21.70\00:41:22.95
You'll be meeting
him in a few moments.
00:41:22.98\00:41:25.41
He was at the
Meadow Vista Church
00:41:25.44\00:41:29.27
when we were there
and the idea came up
00:41:29.30\00:41:31.38
and then we have
Victor and Lauren Gabriel,
00:41:31.41\00:41:34.49
they sent their greetings,
they are not able to be here.
00:41:34.52\00:41:37.20
And finally we have
Larry and Aileen Pyburn
00:41:37.23\00:41:39.40
who were there at Meadow Vista
00:41:39.43\00:41:41.99
when this whole idea was planted
in our minds by the Holy Spirit.
00:41:42.02\00:41:46.70
And so I want to
recognize the founders,
00:41:46.73\00:41:48.85
we're thankful to God for them.
00:41:48.88\00:41:50.75
And at this time
you will be introduced
00:41:50.78\00:41:53.67
to the board
members of Secrets Unsealed.
00:41:53.70\00:41:57.04
Thank you, pastor.
00:42:08.12\00:42:09.15
What a spiritual journey, amen.
00:42:09.18\00:42:10.73
Amen.
00:42:10.76\00:42:12.45
I've had the
privilege and continue have
00:42:12.48\00:42:14.45
the privilege of working
with godly board members.
00:42:14.48\00:42:17.01
I would like to invite
the following to come forward
00:42:17.04\00:42:19.62
so you can meet
them face to face.
00:42:19.65\00:42:22.20
We have a lot of
means behind the scenes
00:42:22.23\00:42:24.19
and when we
participate in these meetings
00:42:24.22\00:42:26.35
we always want to make sure
that we're serving the ministry.
00:42:26.38\00:42:29.54
So I'd like to share
some thoughts with you
00:42:29.57\00:42:31.23
before I invite the
board members to come forward.
00:42:31.26\00:42:33.70
This is found in
the book Mark 10:45,
00:42:33.73\00:42:41.68
"For even the Son of Man
did not come to be served,
00:42:41.71\00:42:45.64
but to serve, and to give
his life as a ransom for many."
00:42:45.67\00:42:49.36
Our whole
philosophy if you had a chance
00:42:49.39\00:42:52.00
to look in your
program it talks about service.
00:42:52.03\00:42:55.86
Making sure that the ministry
is a God filled ministry,
00:42:55.89\00:43:00.14
it's an Adventist
ministry that's truth-filled
00:43:00.17\00:43:03.23
not only does it direct
the spirit of the Lord locally
00:43:03.26\00:43:06.76
but throughout the world.
00:43:06.79\00:43:08.43
So in this particular
verse I've just read to you
00:43:08.46\00:43:11.13
is very important as to
then connect into your program
00:43:11.16\00:43:14.16
that you have this afternoon
00:43:14.19\00:43:15.95
that talks about
the goals of service
00:43:15.98\00:43:18.14
and how we want to make sure
that the ministry is worldwide
00:43:18.17\00:43:21.50
and it's been met and
delivered throughout the world.
00:43:21.53\00:43:24.58
So I like to
just introduce to you
00:43:24.61\00:43:25.91
at this time our board members.
00:43:25.94\00:43:27.77
First of all you've
already met our president.
00:43:27.80\00:43:30.30
So, Pastor Bohr, we'd like
to have you come back up please.
00:43:30.33\00:43:32.85
Thank you, pastor, for
your tremendous ministry.
00:43:37.00\00:43:39.67
Appreciate you very much.
00:43:39.70\00:43:40.81
And you've already
heard from Pastor Bohr
00:43:43.94\00:43:46.80
about one of our
founders, Edmond Matevosian.
00:43:46.83\00:43:49.45
Please come forward.
00:43:49.48\00:43:50.51
And he is actually the
secretary of the board.
00:43:50.54\00:43:54.06
Keeps us together
with all our good minutes
00:43:54.09\00:43:56.26
and making sure we're on track,
00:43:56.29\00:43:57.46
so thank you, Edmond, very much.
00:43:57.49\00:44:00.17
Next we have the chairman
of our finance committee,
00:44:00.20\00:44:02.69
Jean Hops, helps us greatly
with finances making sure
00:44:02.72\00:44:07.41
that we're faithful
stewards with the moneys
00:44:07.44\00:44:09.21
that are coming
into Secrets Unsealed.
00:44:09.24\00:44:12.35
Thank you, Jean.
00:44:12.38\00:44:15.73
Unfortunately, Pastor Jim Finn
00:44:15.76\00:44:18.69
who's been very,
very instrumental
00:44:18.72\00:44:20.57
in our Secrets
Unsealed Ministry with working
00:44:20.60\00:44:23.08
on constitution
bylaws from very beginning,
00:44:23.11\00:44:25.75
he could not be
with us this evening
00:44:25.78\00:44:27.40
because they have a
family medical emergency.
00:44:27.43\00:44:29.94
But he is actually the
chair of our personal committee.
00:44:29.97\00:44:34.68
Next we have Terri Lutz.
00:44:34.71\00:44:37.07
Terri Lutz was
our first president
00:44:37.10\00:44:38.70
that you already
heard this evening.
00:44:38.73\00:44:40.41
And, Terri, thank you so much.
00:44:40.44\00:44:42.15
We did a lot of work
behind the scenes to make sure
00:44:42.18\00:44:44.85
that we could go
through all the paper work
00:44:44.88\00:44:48.12
to get us in this building.
00:44:48.15\00:44:49.18
We spent many hours
going back and forth.
00:44:49.21\00:44:51.57
I remember all those time set.
00:44:51.60\00:44:53.57
Terri is a nurse we
met at her hospital,
00:44:53.60\00:44:55.77
we worked through a lot
of paper work making sure
00:44:55.80\00:44:58.76
that we are good
stewards of your moneys
00:44:58.79\00:45:01.89
to make sure that this
facility would meet God's cause.
00:45:01.92\00:45:04.94
So thank you, Terri, for
all behind the scenes work.
00:45:04.97\00:45:09.71
And Dr. Milton Teske,
00:45:09.74\00:45:11.41
not an unfamiliar
face to the ministry.
00:45:11.44\00:45:14.56
You've seen him many times
with the health presentation.
00:45:14.59\00:45:17.09
So, doctor, thank you so much
00:45:17.12\00:45:19.73
for your ministry
and your presentations.
00:45:19.76\00:45:25.92
One of our new members
to the board, Rick Perez.
00:45:25.95\00:45:29.37
Rick, thank for

00:45:29.40\00:45:31.97
It's always good
to have new talents
00:45:32.00\00:45:34.10
coming in serving this ministry.
00:45:34.13\00:45:37.31
Not the last person
00:45:37.34\00:45:40.72
but one of the best
persons on our board.
00:45:40.75\00:45:43.16
I'd like to Aileen

00:45:46.89\00:45:50.10

00:45:54.03\00:45:55.42
we have the best
staff serving God's cause.
00:45:55.45\00:45:59.09
So these are your board
members, these are your--
00:45:59.12\00:46:04.07
God appointed
servants for Secrets Unsealed
00:46:04.10\00:46:06.69
and making sure that
the ministry is a part
00:46:06.72\00:46:09.96
of what we need to do in
taking care of God's will.
00:46:09.99\00:46:15.54
And this is Ken Bullington,
the chair of the board.
00:46:15.57\00:46:20.29
He is also the associate
superintendent of education
00:46:20.32\00:46:23.08
of the Central
California Conference.
00:46:23.11\00:46:26.57
Thank you, pastor.
00:46:26.60\00:46:27.63
And behalf of the board,
00:46:27.66\00:46:28.69

00:46:30.53\00:46:32.83
to make sure that we're

00:46:32.86\00:46:36.63
and spreading the

00:46:36.66\00:46:38.25
So continue keep us in prayers
00:46:38.28\00:46:40.46
and we appreciate you very much.
00:46:40.49\00:46:41.67
God bless you. Amen.
00:46:41.70\00:46:43.41
Thank you, Ken,
00:46:53.98\00:46:55.01
for that lovely introduction
of our board members.
00:46:55.04\00:46:57.61
At this time for
those of us that are here
00:46:57.64\00:46:59.56
I'd like to invite you
to open up to your program,
00:46:59.59\00:47:02.52
there you're
gonna find a picture
00:47:02.55\00:47:04.46
of all of our staff members
here at Secrets Unsealed.
00:47:04.49\00:47:07.55
And it's gonna be my
pleasure this evening
00:47:07.58\00:47:09.42
to introduce them to you.
00:47:09.45\00:47:11.44
We originally wanted them
00:47:11.47\00:47:13.21
to be present
here on the platform
00:47:13.24\00:47:15.64
but most of them are either
00:47:15.67\00:47:17.09
behind the camera
or in the control room
00:47:17.12\00:47:19.54
so you get to see who
they are on the screen
00:47:19.57\00:47:22.60
for those of you who are at home
00:47:22.63\00:47:24.13
and also here in the
studio in your program.
00:47:24.16\00:47:26.64
I'd like to start
with Steve Bohr Jr.,
00:47:26.67\00:47:28.66
he has been with the
ministry from the very beginning
00:47:28.69\00:47:30.83
as you have already heard.
00:47:30.86\00:47:32.41
He's our production
director, our technical director
00:47:32.44\00:47:35.38
and I'm not sure he understands
how much we depend on him.
00:47:35.41\00:47:40.19
He is awesome.
00:47:40.22\00:47:41.25
When you walk through his office
00:47:41.28\00:47:42.51
this is what I
called ground controlled
00:47:42.54\00:47:44.60
because there are
computer screens everywhere
00:47:44.63\00:47:46.93
and anytime that we have
issues with our computers,
00:47:46.96\00:47:49.77
he is there to help us out.
00:47:49.80\00:47:51.87
Our next department
head is Darren Vecchiarelli.
00:47:51.90\00:47:55.51
Darren has also been around
since the beginning of time,
00:47:55.54\00:47:59.11
he does a phenomenal job.
00:47:59.14\00:48:01.07
Darren is
responsible for shipping,
00:48:01.10\00:48:03.49
for receiving, for distribution,
for packaging, for duplicating
00:48:03.52\00:48:08.41
and by the way
we are duplicating
00:48:08.44\00:48:09.89
over 10,000 DVDs, CDs
and MP3s every single month
00:48:09.92\00:48:14.42
that are going
out around the world.
00:48:14.45\00:48:17.21
Darren is an awesome help.
00:48:17.24\00:48:18.42
He also helps to make sure
00:48:18.45\00:48:19.95
that when we are on the road
00:48:19.98\00:48:21.73
at different
events like ASI and GYC,
00:48:21.76\00:48:25.27
he is the one that makes sure
that we get our materials there
00:48:25.30\00:48:27.68
so that we can make
them available to the public.
00:48:27.71\00:48:30.72
On the next page we
have Pastor Daniel Mesa.
00:48:30.75\00:48:34.34
And he is new to our staff,
00:48:34.37\00:48:36.11
we just recruited him to
be the marketing assistant
00:48:36.14\00:48:39.54
and what a blessing he
has already turned out to be.
00:48:39.57\00:48:43.13
He's an ordained minister
00:48:43.16\00:48:44.59
of the
Seventh-day Adventist Church
00:48:44.62\00:48:46.07
and he has a plethora
of talents as far as media,
00:48:46.10\00:48:50.85
not to mention
that he is a handyman
00:48:50.88\00:48:52.70
as well and a pastor
00:48:52.73\00:48:54.04
and so I'm sure
that in the future
00:48:54.07\00:48:55.91
you're gonna be able to
listen to him preach as well.
00:48:55.94\00:48:59.00
Terri Rusk is heads
out our call center.
00:48:59.03\00:49:03.24
When you phone
in that is probably
00:49:03.27\00:49:05.00
who you are speaking
with either her or Virginia.
00:49:05.03\00:49:07.73
Terri has been with us
00:49:07.76\00:49:08.79
since September of
seven or six years ago
00:49:08.82\00:49:13.50
and she is just
awesome, awesome.
00:49:13.53\00:49:18.60
People who call love her
because she is very gentle,
00:49:18.63\00:49:23.16
she is very sweet,
she takes time to pray,
00:49:23.19\00:49:26.57
to add encourage
and to go far beyond
00:49:26.60\00:49:31.51
her call of duty
in the call center.
00:49:31.54\00:49:33.76
She literally talks to people
00:49:33.79\00:49:35.32
all around the
world as well as emails
00:49:35.35\00:49:37.87
and I have gone to love her
00:49:37.90\00:49:39.17
and appreciate her
very much, thank you.
00:49:39.20\00:49:42.15
Virginia Flores has been us
since the beginning of time.
00:49:42.18\00:49:45.21
She is on our staff page
00:49:45.24\00:49:47.00
although she is a
fulltime volunteer.
00:49:47.03\00:49:49.15
She is here
couple of days a week,
00:49:49.18\00:49:51.29
she has been doing
that for over 10 years now.
00:49:51.32\00:49:54.02
And she handles our emails
00:49:54.05\00:49:57.25
and she used to go
on the road with me
00:49:57.28\00:49:59.39
when I would go
to different events
00:49:59.42\00:50:00.97
but we need her here,
00:50:01.00\00:50:03.67
we need her
answering those phones
00:50:03.70\00:50:05.36
because she does really well.
00:50:05.39\00:50:07.29
And we appreciate her very much.
00:50:07.32\00:50:09.51
Margaret Edwardson also
works in the call center.
00:50:09.54\00:50:13.09
She takes care of
all of our data entry
00:50:13.12\00:50:15.41
and so I look
forward to seeing her
00:50:15.44\00:50:18.02
come in every time I
come back from the road
00:50:18.05\00:50:20.13
because I get to give
her all the cards to input
00:50:20.16\00:50:22.75
so that everyone can receive
00:50:22.78\00:50:23.91
our newsletters and
fundraising letters.
00:50:23.94\00:50:26.23
So this is Margaret
and we appreciate her.
00:50:26.26\00:50:29.95
Larry Pyburn is my husband,
00:50:29.98\00:50:31.61
he works in the
pastoral department.
00:50:31.64\00:50:33.49
He is also a volunteer but
he is a fulltime volunteer,
00:50:33.52\00:50:37.58
so he is here every single
day and answers questions,
00:50:37.61\00:50:41.58
he prays with people,
he counsels with people
00:50:41.61\00:50:45.50
and when the phones get crazy,
00:50:45.53\00:50:47.06
he assists Terri
with answering the calls
00:50:47.09\00:50:49.40
and Terri has to translate
things and type things up
00:50:49.43\00:50:53.51
because he hasn't
learn to type yet.
00:50:53.54\00:50:55.61
We're still trying to convince
him he needs to do that.
00:50:55.64\00:50:59.10
Melvin Blue is also part
of our pastoral department
00:50:59.13\00:51:02.81
and Melvin comes in
once a week to answer
00:51:02.84\00:51:05.07
the difficult
questions that we receive
00:51:05.10\00:51:08.06
and to be an
encouragement to callers
00:51:08.09\00:51:10.35
when they are
needing prayer or counsel.
00:51:10.38\00:51:13.21
And we are
thankful for his ministry
00:51:13.24\00:51:15.14
and his service and he
is an awesome chorister.
00:51:15.17\00:51:18.07
If you've ever been
to one of our summits,
00:51:18.10\00:51:20.68
he really brings it out
of you to sing and joyfully
00:51:20.71\00:51:24.90
and we just
appreciate Melvin very much.
00:51:24.93\00:51:28.39
Maurice Graham is
also new to our staff,
00:51:28.42\00:51:30.61
he joined us earlier this year
00:51:30.64\00:51:32.74
and he is part of
our pastoral department
00:51:32.77\00:51:37.40
and he does so
much more than that.
00:51:37.43\00:51:39.68
He is gonna help
us out with an app
00:51:39.71\00:51:41.49
that eventually
we're going to release
00:51:41.52\00:51:43.66
and he's been very instrumental
00:51:43.69\00:51:46.60
in getting
things setup for media,
00:51:46.63\00:51:49.21
so that we can
advance in those areas.
00:51:49.24\00:51:52.11
Teresa Bonilla who is
our floor manager today.
00:51:52.14\00:51:55.56
She has been with us
now for almost a year,
00:51:55.59\00:51:59.22
it will be year in
August that she has been here
00:51:59.25\00:52:02.51
and she takes care
of all of our accounting
00:52:02.54\00:52:05.72
and I am forever
grateful that she is here
00:52:05.75\00:52:08.14
because I don't
have to do that anymore.
00:52:08.17\00:52:10.60
And so she keeps
her records straight,
00:52:10.63\00:52:13.19
she keeps our books straight
and she does a phenomenal job.
00:52:13.22\00:52:17.67
Jon Teske has
been working part-time
00:52:17.70\00:52:19.96
in our distribution department
00:52:19.99\00:52:21.90
and we have
grown to depend on him
00:52:21.93\00:52:24.53
and appreciate him very much.
00:52:24.56\00:52:26.43
He is very quiet,
he's as quiet as a mouse.
00:52:26.46\00:52:29.53
So he kind of tries to
sneak in but we don't let him.
00:52:29.56\00:52:33.03
I usually try to
stop him and say hello.
00:52:33.06\00:52:35.75
But Jon helps Darren in
the distribution department
00:52:35.78\00:52:39.11
and he does a lot
of the shrink wrapping
00:52:39.14\00:52:40.85
and the
packaging and the shipping
00:52:40.88\00:52:42.90
and sometimes we
drive him crazy, Jon.
00:52:42.93\00:52:47.22
Christopher Vecchiarelli
also is the part-time assistant
00:52:47.25\00:52:50.18
in the distribution department
00:52:50.21\00:52:52.10
and Christopher is, you know,
00:52:52.13\00:52:55.01
he comes and he goes
and he does his work,
00:52:55.04\00:52:56.81
he helps a lot with
a lot of the editing
00:52:56.84\00:52:59.70
of our study
notes and preparing them
00:52:59.73\00:53:02.80
for me as Jane Johnson
00:53:02.83\00:53:04.88
who is sitting
here also does for us.
00:53:04.91\00:53:07.52
We thank you for
everything that you do, Jane.
00:53:07.55\00:53:10.58
Chris is a tremendous help.
00:53:10.61\00:53:11.86
He has been working
out for about six years
00:53:11.89\00:53:14.55
and that's our
distribution department.
00:53:14.58\00:53:19.65
Ismael Teron is Teresa's husband
00:53:19.68\00:53:23.67
and he is assisting Steve
in the production department.
00:53:23.70\00:53:27.44
He does the editing,
he does videos, intros
00:53:27.47\00:53:31.61
and we also call on him
00:53:31.64\00:53:33.69
when we have computer issues
because usually he can fix it.
00:53:33.72\00:53:38.19
Karl Kramer is a very
faithful and loyal volunteer.
00:53:38.22\00:53:42.69
Karl can be called on at anytime
00:53:42.72\00:53:45.17
and he is here to assist
in anything that we need.
00:53:45.20\00:53:48.23
He and Steve have put a
lot of hours into the studio,
00:53:48.26\00:53:51.68
they have worked
many times until midnight
00:53:51.71\00:53:54.38
trying to get
everything prepared
00:53:54.41\00:53:56.36
and always with the smile
on his face, never complaining,
00:53:56.39\00:53:59.63
always happy to
help and to serve
00:53:59.66\00:54:02.12
and I know that the
Lord is gonna repay him
00:54:02.15\00:54:04.72
greatly for his service.
00:54:04.75\00:54:07.21
Last but not least, you
will see two pictures of Dasher.
00:54:07.24\00:54:11.80
Dasher is here with
us every single day,
00:54:11.83\00:54:15.20
when he is here
guarding his ball
00:54:15.23\00:54:18.72
it's because our
break time is over.
00:54:18.75\00:54:21.05
We have played
and his responsibility
00:54:21.08\00:54:23.75
is to make sure
that we take breaks
00:54:23.78\00:54:25.92
because most of
us are so passionate
00:54:25.95\00:54:28.31
about everything that
we do here in this ministry
00:54:28.34\00:54:31.08
we forget that we
need to take a break
00:54:31.11\00:54:34.01
and so he actually
come into my office
00:54:34.04\00:54:37.33
or anybody else's
office, he will take the ball,
00:54:37.36\00:54:40.12
he will bounce it and insist
00:54:40.15\00:54:42.14
that you get up
and play with him.
00:54:42.17\00:54:44.20
And I have come
to appreciate that
00:54:44.23\00:54:46.02
because if it wasn't for that,
00:54:46.05\00:54:47.37
we would be sitting way to long
00:54:47.40\00:54:49.48
all day long we would be sitting
00:54:49.51\00:54:50.71
and we wouldn't
be taking our breaks
00:54:50.74\00:54:52.51
and so he will
always be found here.
00:54:52.54\00:54:56.09
By the way that is
Pastor Bohr's grand-dog.
00:54:56.12\00:55:02.32
We have plethora of volunteers
that shouldn't go unnoticed
00:55:02.35\00:55:05.96
but too many to
mention all by name
00:55:05.99\00:55:09.89
and so I just want to
shout out a special thank you
00:55:09.92\00:55:13.04
to every single
one of our volunteers
00:55:13.07\00:55:14.81
that assist us in so many ways.
00:55:14.84\00:55:18.67
They are here at
the drop of a dime
00:55:18.70\00:55:21.03
to help when we
call, when there is a need
00:55:21.06\00:55:24.04
and many times they even offer
before we recognize the need
00:55:24.07\00:55:27.70
and so we have been very blessed
to have a staff and volunteers
00:55:27.73\00:55:32.75
that are
passionate about this message.
00:55:32.78\00:55:35.12
They are passionate about
the second coming of Christ
00:55:35.15\00:55:37.80
and they are passionate
about what Secrets Unsealed does
00:55:37.83\00:55:40.87
and its mission and ministry
00:55:40.90\00:55:42.72
and we praise God for that
00:55:42.75\00:55:44.02
because every individual
that is here He has selected
00:55:44.05\00:55:47.56
and we give Him all
the honor and the glory.
00:55:47.59\00:55:50.31
Thank you.
00:55:50.34\00:55:51.37
Now a special
moment has arrived.
00:55:58.10\00:56:01.39
As I mentioned before,
Secrets Unsealed has had
00:56:01.42\00:56:04.80
a very close working
relationship with 3ABN.
00:56:04.83\00:56:10.00
You know, I've always said
3ABN is a phenomenal outlet
00:56:10.03\00:56:15.38
of the Three Angels'
Message, the central message
00:56:15.41\00:56:17.92
of the
Seventh-day Adventist Church.
00:56:17.95\00:56:19.80
And since our inception
00:56:19.83\00:56:21.34
we have had a phenomenal
working relationship with 3ABN.
00:56:21.37\00:56:26.76
In fact last Thursday evening,
we had a panel discussion here.
00:56:26.79\00:56:29.92
How many of you
were able to watch
00:56:29.95\00:56:31.22
that on 3ABN about ecumenism?
00:56:31.25\00:56:33.79
We had Jim Gilley here
and C.A. Murray was there
00:56:33.82\00:56:36.51
and yours truly
was also there as well.
00:56:36.54\00:56:39.74
And so at this time I would
like to take the opportunity
00:56:39.77\00:56:42.86
to thank 3ABN for everything
that you've done for us
00:56:42.89\00:56:49.26
which we could never repay.
00:56:49.29\00:56:52.09
We have a special
plaque that we have prepared
00:56:52.12\00:56:56.70
and we hope that they'll hang
it on the wall there at 3ABN.
00:56:56.73\00:57:00.67
Basically the plaque
says "Secrets Unsealed
00:57:00.70\00:57:04.91
in appreciation to 3ABN
for its constant support
00:57:04.94\00:57:09.81
and partnership
with Secrets Unsealed
00:57:09.84\00:57:12.55
in taking the Three
Angels' Message to the world,
00:57:12.58\00:57:15.64
presented to 3ABN
at the Secrets Unsealed
00:57:15.67\00:57:19.26
facility dedication
service Sabbath June 14, 2014."
00:57:19.29\00:57:25.16
C.A., it's an
honor to have you here.
00:57:25.19\00:57:27.96
It's an honor to work with 3ABN.
00:57:27.99\00:57:30.28
We love you,
guys, very, very much.
00:57:30.31\00:57:33.11
It is a great honor to be here,
00:57:33.14\00:57:35.45
but I dare say, Brother
Pastor, you started a fight
00:57:35.48\00:57:38.91
because I don't know
if this is going to be
00:57:38.94\00:57:40.81
in Jim's office
or Danny's office
00:57:40.84\00:57:43.54
I know they both will want it
00:57:43.57\00:57:44.96
perhaps you'll
have to make another
00:57:44.99\00:57:46.27
or we'll have to
put it in the hall
00:57:46.30\00:57:48.14
so that everybody can see it.
00:57:48.17\00:57:51.54
Some 30 years ago
and 3ABN will celebrate,
00:57:51.57\00:57:54.48
begin celebrating
its 30th anniversary,
00:57:54.51\00:57:57.00
this November, 30
years of broadcasting
00:57:57.03\00:58:00.64
when the Lord instructed Danny
to build a television station.
00:58:00.67\00:58:06.56
He knew that it
came from the Lord.
00:58:06.59\00:58:09.46
The station was to preach
00:58:09.49\00:58:10.76
an undiluted
Three Angels' Messages
00:58:10.79\00:58:14.33
one that will
counteract the counterfeit.
00:58:14.36\00:58:17.51
And during the past 30 years
00:58:17.54\00:58:19.48
we have looked for people
00:58:19.51\00:58:22.22
whose message
followed in that trajectory.
00:58:22.25\00:58:26.11
We looked for
people who are preaching
00:58:26.14\00:58:28.00
a pure undiluted,
unashamed gospel message.
00:58:28.03\00:58:34.45
And I think that is why we talk
about a marriage made in heaven.
00:58:34.48\00:58:39.68
When Danny heard
Pastor Bohr preach,
00:58:39.71\00:58:43.59
he realized that he was
in the presence of a man
00:58:43.62\00:58:46.24
who was preaching
an undiluted message,
00:58:46.27\00:58:48.70
who was preaching a
pure and straight gospel,
00:58:48.73\00:58:51.68
that's the kind of
person that we want on 3ABN.
00:58:51.71\00:58:55.45
So that when you turn on
00:58:55.48\00:58:57.29
Three Angels
Broadcasting Network,
00:58:57.32\00:58:58.84
you know that the
people who are putting
00:58:58.87\00:59:03.23
their message into your
ears and into your heart
00:59:03.26\00:59:06.19
and into your head are getting
their truth from the Bible,
00:59:06.22\00:59:10.89
from God and are giving
the truth the whole truth
00:59:10.92\00:59:14.80
and nothing but the truth.
00:59:14.83\00:59:15.96
And of course we
salute Pastor Bohr
00:59:15.99\00:59:18.47
because since we have known him,
00:59:18.50\00:59:22.42
he has been preaching the truth.
00:59:22.45\00:59:24.06
I said the other
night that Danny Shelton
00:59:24.09\00:59:25.88
actually knew
Pastor Bohr in high school
00:59:25.91\00:59:29.27
and Danny tells me
that even in high school,
00:59:29.30\00:59:33.10
when young men
were playing pranks,
00:59:33.13\00:59:36.62
you know how young people are
00:59:36.65\00:59:38.66
that this young man
was a godly young man,
00:59:38.69\00:59:43.96
was an example to his fellows,
00:59:43.99\00:59:46.41
was one who even at an early
age showed maturity in the word.
00:59:46.44\00:59:51.70
So when 3ABN
brought him on board,
00:59:51.73\00:59:55.02
we knew we are
getting a quality person
00:59:55.05\00:59:57.85
one who loved the Lord
00:59:57.88\00:59:59.19
and one who
would preach the truth.
00:59:59.22\01:00:01.54
So we are so very, very
happy for this partnership
01:00:01.57\01:00:05.15
that is gone on
for so many years
01:00:05.18\01:00:07.11
and we believe it will continue
01:00:07.14\01:00:09.72
to go on until Christ
calls us from labor to reward.
01:00:09.75\01:00:13.90
As many of you know Danny
Shelton could not be here,
01:00:13.93\01:00:17.18
he and Jim Gilley
were attending this evening
01:00:17.21\01:00:19.45
the memorial service
of one of our longstanding
01:00:19.48\01:00:22.66
board members Pam Rhodes
01:00:22.69\01:00:24.05
who passed just
several days ago.
01:00:24.08\01:00:26.20
He did however produced a video
01:00:26.23\01:00:29.31
that he asked me
to introduce and said,
01:00:29.34\01:00:31.19
he wanted you to see it
because his love and respect
01:00:31.22\01:00:34.36
is great for this ministry
as is the love and respect
01:00:34.39\01:00:38.67
of Mollie
Steenson and Jim Gilley
01:00:38.70\01:00:41.65
and all of the 3ABN family,
01:00:41.68\01:00:43.53
we love Stephen
Bohr quite a bit.
01:00:43.56\01:00:46.63
He is a favorite at 3ABN.
01:00:46.66\01:00:49.77
We will do anything
with him and for him
01:00:49.80\01:00:52.72
except perhaps
drive in a car with him.
01:00:52.75\01:00:55.46
Anything else we
will do and are glad to do
01:00:55.49\01:00:59.06
because we know that
this is indeed a man of God.
01:00:59.09\01:01:01.90
And you can run
that video just now.
01:01:01.93\01:01:05.34
Hi, Pastor Steve,
and Fresno congregation,
01:01:05.37\01:01:08.23
and those of you that traveled
01:01:08.26\01:01:09.89
from quite a
distance to be there,
01:01:09.92\01:01:11.87
I'm really sorry I couldn't
be with you this weekend.
01:01:11.90\01:01:15.41
I had intended to be there,
01:01:15.44\01:01:17.49
I know it's gonna be a beautiful
01:01:17.52\01:01:18.92
and has been a
beautiful weekend so far
01:01:18.95\01:01:21.51
and but I received some bad news
a day or two after camp meeting
01:01:21.54\01:01:25.44
that Pam Rhodes,
one of our great friends
01:01:25.47\01:01:27.29
and board
members, had passed away.
01:01:27.32\01:01:29.35
She had been ill
for a number of months
01:01:29.38\01:01:31.67
and so they've asked me,
01:01:31.70\01:01:33.46
the family's asked me to come
and be a part of the funeral.
01:01:33.49\01:01:36.47
And so I'm going
down the Collegedale
01:01:36.50\01:01:38.67
for the funeral this Sabbath.
01:01:38.70\01:01:40.26
So I'm not able to
come and be with you
01:01:40.29\01:01:42.58
but praise the
Lord for technology
01:01:42.61\01:01:45.07
because you really can't
be in two places at once.
01:01:45.10\01:01:48.18
So while physically
I'll be in Chattanooga area
01:01:48.21\01:01:51.67
in Collegedale, in the spirit
01:01:51.70\01:01:54.22
I also can be with you
01:01:54.25\01:01:55.90
and by video can be with you.
01:01:55.93\01:01:58.58
I just want to take a
moment or two and tell you
01:01:58.61\01:02:02.15
how pleased I am
hesitate to use the word proud
01:02:02.18\01:02:06.63
but the Pastor Stephen Bohr now
01:02:06.66\01:02:08.44
we go back along ways
all the way back to 1967.
01:02:08.47\01:02:13.37
I went to academy one
year, I'm from Southern Illinois
01:02:13.40\01:02:15.82
but I had some cousins
01:02:15.85\01:02:17.38
who went to the
academy up in Wisconsin,
01:02:17.41\01:02:20.42
the long ways away
from Southern Illinois
01:02:20.45\01:02:22.47
but they said
you'll love the school,
01:02:22.50\01:02:23.97
why don't you come?
01:02:24.00\01:02:25.03
So I was able to go up
67 and 68, I was the junior.
01:02:25.06\01:02:28.94
I think you Steve
were senior that year.
01:02:28.97\01:02:31.73
I noticed that even back then,
Steve was a very studious person
01:02:31.76\01:02:36.64
that he took his
education seriously,
01:02:36.67\01:02:39.93
I probably should
have a little more,
01:02:39.96\01:02:41.43
I kind of was more out
want to play basketball
01:02:41.46\01:02:43.80
or whatever I could do out there
01:02:43.83\01:02:46.22
but I appreciated your
seriousness for the gospel.
01:02:46.25\01:02:49.95
Even as a
teenager I knew that you
01:02:49.98\01:02:53.29
had been called by
God to do something
01:02:53.32\01:02:55.72
but who would
know 30 years later,
01:02:55.75\01:02:58.04
you and I would
both be in ministry.
01:02:58.07\01:02:59.87
Then in the 70s,
I think late 70s,
01:02:59.90\01:03:03.65
the Lord called Pastor Bohr
01:03:03.68\01:03:05.33
to pastor a
little bitty church here
01:03:05.36\01:03:07.47
in Southern Illinois
and West Frankfort, Illinois
01:03:07.50\01:03:10.21
and I think even Du
Quoin maybe Eldorado
01:03:10.24\01:03:14.01
and little churches in the area
01:03:14.04\01:03:16.64
that brought us
together once again.
01:03:16.67\01:03:18.79
My mother's pastor here
01:03:18.82\01:03:19.98
I was going to
Michigan for a few years
01:03:20.01\01:03:22.43
but so going
back over the years,
01:03:22.46\01:03:25.20
God is kind of always
across, had path seemed to cross
01:03:25.23\01:03:29.50
and now for the
last several years,
01:03:29.53\01:03:32.14
it's been amazing to be
able to work together with you.
01:03:32.17\01:03:36.01
I want to tell you
this, I want to encourage you
01:03:36.04\01:03:38.94
that what you're
doing is heard and seen
01:03:38.97\01:03:41.94
and it's making an
impact around the world.
01:03:41.97\01:03:45.35
Secrets Unsealed is
an amazing ministry.
01:03:45.38\01:03:49.06
People who want to know truth
01:03:49.09\01:03:50.87
are watching your
programs around the world.
01:03:50.90\01:03:54.25
I'm thankful for what
you're doing as a pastor,
01:03:54.28\01:03:57.25
senior pastor there at Fresno,
01:03:57.28\01:03:59.31
but am I so thrilled
that God has called you
01:03:59.34\01:04:02.84
not only to pastor
a congregation locally
01:04:02.87\01:04:07.03
but to literally be reaching
01:04:07.06\01:04:09.39
and teaching
people around the world.
01:04:09.42\01:04:11.78
I travel around the world a lot,
01:04:11.81\01:04:13.90
I go many
places around the world
01:04:13.93\01:04:16.05
almost everywhere I go, Steve,
01:04:16.08\01:04:18.52
I want you to
know that people say--
01:04:18.55\01:04:21.02
I guess they think since you're
on television all the time,
01:04:21.05\01:04:23.62
they say as that we must
live close to each other.
01:04:23.65\01:04:26.16
They'll say
please tell Stephen Bohr
01:04:26.19\01:04:28.97
what a blessing he
is been in my life.
01:04:29.00\01:04:31.00
Many, many
individuals have come and said
01:04:31.03\01:04:33.75
thanks to Pastor Stephen
Bohr, I came in to the truth.
01:04:33.78\01:04:37.96
They may have been Baptists,
they may have been Catholic,
01:04:37.99\01:04:40.90
they may have not
been a Christian period,
01:04:40.93\01:04:43.23
but they said I
started watching 3ABN
01:04:43.26\01:04:45.80
and thanks to
Pastor Stephen Bohr,
01:04:45.83\01:04:47.97
I'm now a
Seventh-day Adventist Christian.
01:04:48.00\01:04:51.81
I'm so pleased and happy to
hear about your new studios,
01:04:51.84\01:04:55.60
I wanted to see them personally
01:04:55.63\01:04:57.42
maybe if you'll
give me the opportunity
01:04:57.45\01:04:59.38
I've got my plane
tickets are good for a year
01:04:59.41\01:05:02.14
on Southwest, you know,
01:05:02.17\01:05:03.41
so maybe I can
come out another time
01:05:03.44\01:05:05.81
and enjoy a
weekend with you there,
01:05:05.84\01:05:07.93
see your new studios.
01:05:07.96\01:05:09.50
I'm so pleased what God is doing
01:05:09.53\01:05:11.20
and I want to
thank all of you there
01:05:11.23\01:05:13.07
locally for what
you're doing in support
01:05:13.10\01:05:15.86
our brother Stephen
Bohr and the ministry
01:05:15.89\01:05:18.19
that he has Secrets Unsealed
01:05:18.22\01:05:20.22
because if there were
ever a time in earth's history
01:05:20.25\01:05:22.98
that this ought to be happening,
01:05:23.01\01:05:25.08
these secrets
and it shouldn't be
01:05:25.11\01:05:27.08
because there are
so many Christians
01:05:27.11\01:05:28.52
but all everybody
out there as you know
01:05:28.55\01:05:31.50
is not telling the whole
truth but God has called us
01:05:31.53\01:05:34.88
the Seventh-day
Adventist Christians
01:05:34.91\01:05:37.19
to unseal the books
of Daniel and Revelation,
01:05:37.22\01:05:40.17
He's opened these so that now
01:05:40.20\01:05:42.18
we can share the truth
to lost and dying world.
01:05:42.21\01:05:44.98
And what is that simply?
01:05:45.01\01:05:46.49
It's simply this, that
Jesus is coming very soon
01:05:46.52\01:05:50.36
and that there is no
reason for anybody to be lost
01:05:50.39\01:05:53.31
that God has made
a plan of salvation
01:05:53.34\01:05:55.83
that each and everyone of us
01:05:55.86\01:05:57.36
as we accept Jesus Christ
as Lord and Savior of our life
01:05:57.39\01:06:01.07
and we simply say Lord save me,
01:06:01.10\01:06:03.64
then He says go and
tell what you've done for Me.
01:06:03.67\01:06:06.47
And that's all
God expects us to do.
01:06:06.50\01:06:09.04
But the great news is the devil
that has no control over you.
01:06:09.07\01:06:13.60
I've read the back of the book
and I love telling people this
01:06:13.63\01:06:16.50
and I want to
encourage you there
01:06:16.53\01:06:17.69
in the Fresno area
never be discouraged.
01:06:17.72\01:06:20.94
Yes, the devil is out to
steal, kill and to destroy,
01:06:20.97\01:06:23.69
he may rob you of your home,
01:06:23.72\01:06:25.14
may rob you of all
kinds of things your finances,
01:06:25.17\01:06:28.47
he can rob you of your health
01:06:28.50\01:06:30.44
but he cannot
rob you of your soul,
01:06:30.47\01:06:32.29
your soul belongs to God.
01:06:32.32\01:06:34.42
God created
you, your soul is His
01:06:34.45\01:06:37.10
and as long as you
stay fast to the truth
01:06:37.13\01:06:40.00
and you submit and
commit you life to Jesus,
01:06:40.03\01:06:43.21
heaven is assured for you.
01:06:43.24\01:06:45.33
So I want to encourage you
01:06:45.36\01:06:46.39
and I tell people
this a lot of times,
01:06:46.42\01:06:48.83
it's like a lot
of folk read a book,
01:06:48.86\01:06:51.07
they stop in a bookstore,
they read the back of the book
01:06:51.10\01:06:53.94
John and Mary, it
says, you know, John and Mary
01:06:53.97\01:06:57.11
rode off into the
sunset happily ever after.
01:06:57.14\01:06:59.84
Well, the book is 200 pages
01:06:59.87\01:07:02.63
you get into the middle of
this book about a 100 pages
01:07:02.66\01:07:05.72
and John and Mary
fall over a cliff,
01:07:05.75\01:07:07.63
they are hanging on a
limb that's about to break.
01:07:07.66\01:07:09.87
You don't say oh, no,
01:07:09.90\01:07:11.13
John and Mary is
gonna die, why not?
01:07:11.16\01:07:13.32
You've read the
back of the book,
01:07:13.35\01:07:15.14
your saying now
wow, this is exciting,
01:07:15.17\01:07:17.84
how is this author gonna get
John and Mary out of this jam?
01:07:17.87\01:07:20.91
Well, you know what?
01:07:20.94\01:07:21.97
It's exactly that way in
our Christian experience,
01:07:22.00\01:07:24.86
our Christian
walk with the Lord,
01:07:24.89\01:07:26.76
because of
pastors like Stephen Bohr
01:07:26.79\01:07:29.16
who tell us the truth,
01:07:29.19\01:07:30.48
who're unlocking the
keys literally unlocking
01:07:30.51\01:07:33.81
Daniel and
Revelation in a truthful,
01:07:33.84\01:07:37.88
honest, straight,
truthful loving way.
01:07:37.91\01:07:40.92
People around the world
can now not be discouraged,
01:07:40.95\01:07:43.79
I don't have to wonder,
oh, what's gonna happen.
01:07:43.82\01:07:46.26
We know what's gonna happen.
01:07:46.29\01:07:48.05
What happens is we've
read the back of the book
01:07:48.08\01:07:50.29
and the back of the book says
01:07:50.32\01:07:51.86
when it looks like
you're over that cliff,
01:07:51.89\01:07:54.02
there is no place to go,
the back of the book says
01:07:54.05\01:07:56.64
and they overcame him
by the blood of the Lamb
01:07:56.67\01:07:59.22
and by the word
of their testimony.
01:07:59.25\01:08:01.34
Folks, it's a great time
to be alive and be encouraged,
01:08:01.37\01:08:04.94
never be
discouraged, know that Jesus
01:08:04.97\01:08:07.63
when He was on the
cross you were on His mind.
01:08:07.66\01:08:10.25
He created you for
such an hour as this.
01:08:10.28\01:08:13.28
Thank you, Stephen Bohr,
01:08:13.31\01:08:15.07
for what you do
for the cause of God.
01:08:15.10\01:08:18.13
God's blessing's on you
01:08:18.16\01:08:19.73
and your entire congregation
and again I know that
01:08:19.76\01:08:23.38
you're having a great
spiritual beautiful weekend,
01:08:23.41\01:08:26.51
I look forward to
seeing your new studios.
01:08:26.54\01:08:28.93
I just want to say a prayer
with you and for you right now.
01:08:28.96\01:08:31.94
Heavenly Father, I
just pray right now
01:08:31.97\01:08:34.70
that you will continue to lead,
01:08:34.73\01:08:36.66
guide and direct Pastor
Bohr and his entire crew,
01:08:36.69\01:08:40.20
the congregation there as
they've been so supportive
01:08:40.23\01:08:43.67
and this ministry of
television and radio ministry
01:08:43.70\01:08:46.93
that literally is taking
the gospel of the kingdom
01:08:46.96\01:08:49.91
and into all the world.
01:08:49.94\01:08:50.97
It's
fulfillment, its fulfillment.
01:08:51.00\01:08:53.03
I know that when Jesus
was hanging on that cross
01:08:53.06\01:08:55.44
and He looked
down the stream of time
01:08:55.47\01:08:57.30
He could see those who
would be willing to stand up
01:08:57.33\01:09:00.19
and give their lives
unto death if necessary.
01:09:00.22\01:09:02.78
Praise God that Stephen Bohr
is one of those that he saw.
01:09:02.81\01:09:06.43
Thank you God, I pray you
continue to bless him mentally,
01:09:06.46\01:09:09.69
physically, spiritually,
financially and everyway
01:09:09.72\01:09:13.33
that he can
continue put a protective
01:09:13.36\01:09:15.59
legion of angels about
him that he can continue
01:09:15.62\01:09:18.64
to take this great
gospel of the kingdom
01:09:18.67\01:09:21.41
into all the world.
01:09:21.44\01:09:22.47
We ask these
things and give you honor
01:09:22.50\01:09:26.05
and glory and praise
01:09:26.08\01:09:27.31
in Jesus name, we pray, amen.
01:09:27.34\01:09:30.50
God bless you, until
we see you next time,
01:09:30.53\01:09:32.72
may the Lord richly bless you
01:09:32.75\01:09:34.26
abundantly more than
you could ever ask or think.
01:09:34.29\01:09:37.46
How can I say thanks
01:09:55.52\01:10:02.95
For the things
01:10:02.98\01:10:06.37
You have done for me?
01:10:06.40\01:10:11.19
Things so undeserved
01:10:11.22\01:10:17.79
Yet You gave
01:10:17.82\01:10:20.63
To prove Your love for me
01:10:20.66\01:10:25.92
The voices of a million angels
01:10:25.95\01:10:32.39
Could not express
01:10:32.42\01:10:36.43
My gratitude
01:10:36.46\01:10:40.63
All that I am
01:10:40.66\01:10:43.17
Or ever hope to be
01:10:43.20\01:10:46.70
I owe it all to thee
01:10:50.08\01:10:56.46
To God be the glory
01:10:56.49\01:11:04.23
To God be the glory
01:11:04.26\01:11:11.65
To God be the glory
01:11:11.68\01:11:18.95
For the things he has done
01:11:18.98\01:11:26.45
With His blood He has saved me
01:11:26.48\01:11:34.06
With His power
01:11:34.09\01:11:37.86
He has raised me
01:11:37.89\01:11:41.87
To God be the glory
01:11:41.90\01:11:49.02
For the things He has done
01:11:49.05\01:11:56.34
Just let me live my life
01:11:56.37\01:12:03.55
Let it be pleasing Lord to thee
01:12:03.58\01:12:10.85
And if I gain any praise
01:12:10.88\01:12:17.09
Let it go to Calvary
01:12:17.12\01:12:22.92
With His blood
01:12:25.50\01:12:29.02
He has saved me
01:12:29.05\01:12:32.71
With His power
01:12:32.74\01:12:36.07
He has raised me
01:12:36.10\01:12:39.96
To God be the glory
01:12:39.99\01:12:46.96
For the things He has done
01:12:46.99\01:12:54.04
For the things
01:12:54.07\01:12:57.99
He has done
01:12:58.02\01:13:02.93
Well, I recognize
two special people
01:13:25.54\01:13:27.51
that we have
here this afternoon,
01:13:27.54\01:13:28.91
all of you are special,
01:13:28.94\01:13:31.34
but I also want to
express a word of appreciation
01:13:31.37\01:13:35.46
to the Central
California Conference.
01:13:35.49\01:13:38.82
Central California Conference
has been very, very supportive
01:13:38.85\01:13:43.31
of Secrets Unsealed.
01:13:43.34\01:13:45.46
And I'm not
talking about financially,
01:13:45.49\01:13:48.25
but they've been very
supportive in allowing
01:13:48.28\01:13:52.59
me to travel more than a
pastor would normally travel.
01:13:52.62\01:13:58.24
And they've been
very, very supportive
01:13:58.27\01:14:00.36
also in encouraging us
01:14:00.39\01:14:03.55
to take the
message to the world.
01:14:03.58\01:14:06.01
And we have two representatives
from the conference.
01:14:06.04\01:14:08.49
We have Ron
Rasmussen who is the secretary
01:14:08.52\01:14:12.33
of Central
California Conference.
01:14:12.36\01:14:13.92
Ron, we're glad you're here.
01:14:13.95\01:14:15.52
Could you please stand
so that people can see you?
01:14:15.55\01:14:17.93
We're glad that you took
this moment to be with us.
01:14:17.96\01:14:20.85
And we have Mayra Thompson
01:14:20.88\01:14:22.51
who is the treasurer of
Central California Conference
01:14:22.54\01:14:26.57
and Mayra has done
some of us our auditing
01:14:26.60\01:14:29.64
in times past, but I got to be
so large that we had to retain
01:14:29.67\01:14:32.95
the services of
John Berg and his wife.
01:14:32.98\01:14:36.24
So, you know, he is a CPA
01:14:36.27\01:14:38.53
so it outgrew she couldn't do
01:14:38.56\01:14:41.39
both things Secrets Unsealed
01:14:41.42\01:14:43.48
and Central
California Conference.
01:14:43.51\01:14:45.88
And so we're thankful
01:14:45.91\01:14:47.04
that you took the time to
be with us, Ron and Mayra.
01:14:47.07\01:14:50.62
Secrets Unsealed has
a distinctive mission,
01:14:53.46\01:14:59.75
a distinctive message
and a distinctive method.
01:14:59.78\01:15:06.98
Our mission is
found in Matthew 24:14,
01:15:07.01\01:15:13.48
it says there "And
this gospel of the kingdom
01:15:13.51\01:15:17.19
will be preached
in the whole world
01:15:17.22\01:15:20.18
as a witness to all nations,
and then the end will come."
01:15:20.21\01:15:27.36
So basically our mission is
to go into all of the world.
01:15:27.39\01:15:31.50
No corner of the world excepted,
01:15:31.53\01:15:35.55
but what are we
supposed to go and do?
01:15:35.58\01:15:38.13
Okay, we're
supposed to go to the world,
01:15:38.16\01:15:39.59
what are we
supposed to do in the world?
01:15:39.62\01:15:42.50
We have a distinctive
message that God has given
01:15:42.53\01:15:46.97
the Seventh-day
Adventist Church.
01:15:47.00\01:15:49.71
And that distinctive message
01:15:49.74\01:15:52.18
is the Three Angels' Message
of Revelation Chapter 14.
01:15:52.21\01:15:57.32
That is the reason
01:15:57.35\01:15:58.55
for the existence
of Secrets Unsealed.
01:15:58.58\01:16:02.81
If at any time we should forget
01:16:02.84\01:16:05.16
what the reason for existence is
01:16:05.19\01:16:08.24
we would have
no reason to exist.
01:16:08.27\01:16:12.67
I'd like to read a statement
01:16:12.70\01:16:14.98
from the writings of Ellen White
01:16:15.01\01:16:16.45
about what our message is.
01:16:16.48\01:16:20.87
And by the way you'll see
01:16:20.90\01:16:22.26
the Three Angels logo everywhere
01:16:22.29\01:16:24.65
here at Secrets Unsealed.
01:16:24.68\01:16:26.38
You'll see it as you
come into the office,
01:16:26.41\01:16:28.20
you'll see it outside,
you'll see it on our stationary,
01:16:28.23\01:16:31.13
you'll see it on our programs.
01:16:31.16\01:16:32.96
We want to highlight
that God has raised us up
01:16:32.99\01:16:36.30
to preach the
Three Angels' Messages.
01:16:36.33\01:16:40.37
Ellen White has this statement
01:16:40.40\01:16:42.13
in Volume 9 of the
Testimonies page 19.
01:16:42.16\01:16:46.33
"In a special sense
Seventh-day Adventists
01:16:46.36\01:16:51.89
have been set in the world
as watchmen and light bearers.
01:16:51.92\01:16:56.89
To them has been entrusted
01:16:56.92\01:16:59.32
the last warning
for a perishing world.
01:16:59.35\01:17:03.13
On them" on
Seventh-day Adventist
01:17:03.16\01:17:06.37
"is shining wonderful
light from the word of God.
01:17:06.40\01:17:10.58
They have been given a
work of the most solemn import--
01:17:10.61\01:17:15.72
the proclamation
of the first, second,
01:17:15.75\01:17:19.31
and third angels' messages."
01:17:19.34\01:17:22.91
And then she says this.
01:17:22.94\01:17:24.67
"There is no other
work of so great importance.
01:17:24.70\01:17:31.93
They are to allow nothing
else to absorb their attention."
01:17:31.96\01:17:37.72
I guess you could say
01:17:37.75\01:17:38.78
that Ellen White
had a one track mind.
01:17:38.81\01:17:41.87
And that is to share
01:17:41.90\01:17:43.27
the Three Angels'
Message to the world.
01:17:43.30\01:17:46.12
It is not the common
message that is being proclaimed
01:17:46.15\01:17:49.30
by the religious world today.
01:17:49.33\01:17:51.81
You know, you
hear people say well,
01:17:51.84\01:17:53.10
the mission of
the Adventist church
01:17:53.13\01:17:54.61
is to take the
gospel to the world.
01:17:54.64\01:17:56.57
But it's the gospel
01:17:56.60\01:17:57.92
in the context of
the Three Angels' Message
01:17:57.95\01:18:01.12
which is a message
that no other church
01:18:01.15\01:18:03.53
in the world is
presenting today.
01:18:03.56\01:18:06.86
And God has raised
up Secrets Unsealed
01:18:06.89\01:18:09.20
to highlight the special message
01:18:09.23\01:18:12.08
that God has given
for these last days
01:18:12.11\01:18:15.13
in the history of the world.
01:18:15.16\01:18:16.50
We are all firmly convicted
and persuaded of that reality.
01:18:16.53\01:18:22.77
So our mission is
to go to the world
01:18:22.80\01:18:26.22
and the message is
found in Revelation 14:6-12.
01:18:26.25\01:18:30.56
What is our method?
01:18:30.59\01:18:32.98
You know, the
Seventh-day Adventist Church
01:18:33.01\01:18:34.84
has a unique way of
interpreting Bible prophecy.
01:18:34.87\01:18:39.26
As far as I know it's
the only church in the world
01:18:39.29\01:18:41.60
that has that still
conserves this special method.
01:18:41.63\01:18:45.44
You know,
Protestants had this method
01:18:45.47\01:18:48.12
when Protestantism first began.
01:18:48.15\01:18:50.42
Martin Luther, John
Calvin, Zwingli, others believed
01:18:50.45\01:18:54.49
that a prophecy
fulfills in a chain of events
01:18:54.52\01:18:57.97
without any
interruptions or parenthesis,
01:18:58.00\01:19:00.54
it's known as the historicism
01:19:00.57\01:19:03.26
or what I call the
historical flow method.
01:19:03.29\01:19:06.83
You can follow the
sequence of Bible prophecy
01:19:06.86\01:19:09.77
from the times of the
prophet till the end of time.
01:19:09.80\01:19:12.14
You can follow the sequence
as prophecy moves along.
01:19:12.17\01:19:17.83
The Seventh-day Adventist
Church is the only church
01:19:17.86\01:19:19.80
that still
conserves and preserves
01:19:19.83\01:19:23.95
this special method of
explaining Bible prophecy.
01:19:23.98\01:19:28.76
And that is the method
that drives Secrets Unsealed.
01:19:28.79\01:19:32.86
We want to hold
high our mission,
01:19:32.89\01:19:35.92
we want to hold high our message
01:19:35.95\01:19:39.13
and we also want to
hold high our method
01:19:39.16\01:19:45.24
of interpreting Bible prophecy.
01:19:45.27\01:19:48.01
And I challenge all of
those who are gathered here
01:19:48.04\01:19:50.44
and those who are watching
on live television worldwide.
01:19:50.47\01:19:54.28
I challenge you to
study Revelation 14:6-12
01:19:54.31\01:19:59.65
and take these
messages to the world
01:19:59.68\01:20:01.98
because that is
what the world needs.
01:20:02.01\01:20:05.88
No other message
should absorb our attention.
01:20:05.91\01:20:09.17
We should not be distracted
from this central mission.
01:20:09.20\01:20:12.72
There are many
distracts in the church today
01:20:12.75\01:20:15.27
but we cannot
afford to be distracted.
01:20:15.30\01:20:17.82
We must fulfill the
mission for which God has called
01:20:17.85\01:20:22.36
the Seventh-day
Adventist Church.
01:20:22.39\01:20:24.84
And so I challenge you
this afternoon to be faithful
01:20:24.87\01:20:30.13
to our mission, to be
faithful to our message
01:20:30.16\01:20:33.68
and to be faithful to our method
01:20:33.71\01:20:35.96
and to take every
opportunity to go out
01:20:35.99\01:20:39.31
and share with our
neighbors, with our friends,
01:20:39.34\01:20:42.00
with our
acquaintances the marvelous news
01:20:42.03\01:20:45.55
that Jesus is coming soon
01:20:45.58\01:20:47.99
and that people
might know the events
01:20:48.02\01:20:49.92
that will take place
immediately before His coming
01:20:49.95\01:20:52.33
so that they can
prepare for the great events
01:20:52.36\01:20:55.29
that soon will crash
upon the scene of this world.
01:20:55.32\01:20:59.59
Oh, when shall I see
Jesus and reign with Him above
01:21:32.19\01:21:39.22
And shall hear the
trumpet sound in that morning
01:21:39.25\01:21:46.47
And from the flowing
fountain drink everlasting love
01:21:46.50\01:21:53.49
And shall hear the
trumpet sound in that morning
01:21:53.52\01:22:01.34
Shout of glory for I
shall mount above the sky
01:22:01.37\01:22:07.51
When I hear the trumpet sound
01:22:09.40\01:22:14.57
In that morning
01:22:14.60\01:22:18.57
And you'll hear the
trumpet sound in that morning
01:22:26.88\01:22:32.66
And you'll hear the
trumpet sound in that morning
01:22:38.49\01:22:44.31
O, shout glory I
shall mount above the skies
01:22:44.34\01:22:50.05
When I hear the
trumpet sound in that morning
01:22:50.08\01:22:55.59
Our ears shall
hear with Gladness
01:22:59.29\01:23:01.94
The host of heaven sing
01:23:01.97\01:23:04.52
And shall hear the
trumpet sound in that morning
01:23:04.55\01:23:10.21
Our tongues
shall speak the praises
01:23:10.24\01:23:13.51
Of our immortal King
01:23:13.54\01:23:15.79
And shall hear the
trumpet sound in that morning
01:23:15.82\01:23:21.49
O, shout glory I
shall mount above the skies
01:23:21.52\01:23:26.99
When I hear the
trumpet sound in that morning
01:23:27.02\01:23:32.48
O, shout glory I
shall mount above the skies
01:23:32.51\01:23:38.00
When I hear the
trumpet sound in that morning
01:23:38.03\01:23:43.67
O, shout glory
01:23:43.70\01:23:47.69
I shall mount above the skies
01:23:47.72\01:23:55.63
When I hear
01:23:55.66\01:23:58.10
The trumpet sound
01:23:58.13\01:24:04.09
In that morning
01:24:04.12\01:24:09.26
Amen.
01:24:11.67\01:24:13.26
Several years ago
my wife made a trip
01:24:17.55\01:24:22.31
to Fresno and to
Secrets Unsealed,
01:24:22.34\01:24:24.38
I was not with
that production crew.
01:24:24.41\01:24:27.38
And when she returned really
have I seen her so excited
01:24:27.41\01:24:31.90
and so effusive in
her praise of a ministry.
01:24:31.93\01:24:36.83
She had spent time
with Aileen and Larry
01:24:36.86\01:24:39.92
and stayed in their home
01:24:39.95\01:24:40.98
and had met Pastor
Bohr and his lovely wife.
01:24:41.01\01:24:44.11
And my wife doesn't get
that excited about thing
01:24:44.14\01:24:47.01
but she could not stop
talking about this ministry
01:24:47.04\01:24:51.39
and Pastor Bohr
and his preaching.
01:24:51.42\01:24:53.54
And subsequently I was
treated to meeting them all
01:24:53.57\01:24:58.29
and realized that
the half was not told.
01:24:58.32\01:25:02.68
Ellen White says "There
are no great men in Adventism,
01:25:02.71\01:25:06.49
but there are those
who are greatly used.
01:25:06.52\01:25:09.73
There are those who
through submission to Christ
01:25:09.76\01:25:14.52
are enabled to do
great things for Him.
01:25:14.55\01:25:18.48
Not because they are
great but because God is great.
01:25:18.51\01:25:24.14
And He will use
those who allow themselves
01:25:24.17\01:25:28.28
to be used to touch the world."
01:25:28.31\01:25:31.73
This facility is
testament not to Pastor Bohr,
01:25:31.76\01:25:36.36
his wife or the persons here,
01:25:36.39\01:25:39.77
it is testament to
a God who is desperate
01:25:39.80\01:25:43.73
to save men and women.
01:25:43.76\01:25:45.75
And we realize that at 3ABN,
01:25:45.78\01:25:48.61
3ABN goes around the world
01:25:48.64\01:25:50.13
not because we are
so good or so great,
01:25:50.16\01:25:53.99
but because God is desperate,
01:25:54.02\01:25:56.28
He is desperate to save
souls and wants none to be lost.
01:25:56.31\01:26:03.83
I ask you now to
bow your heads with me
01:26:03.86\01:26:05.62
as we formally
dedicate this facility
01:26:05.65\01:26:09.51
all that it is
and all that it does
01:26:09.54\01:26:13.37
and all that it will ever do
01:26:13.40\01:26:16.86
to the glory of our
Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
01:26:16.89\01:26:23.08
Gracious Father, we stand now
01:26:23.11\01:26:27.62
at the junction of
two conflicting emotions.
01:26:27.65\01:26:33.39
We are exhilarated and happy
01:26:33.42\01:26:36.68
and glad and excited
to see what you have done.
01:26:36.71\01:26:43.66
And yet at the same
time we are humbled,
01:26:43.69\01:26:48.83
so very, very humbled
to see what you have done.
01:26:48.86\01:26:54.75
Father, you have asked
us to join hands with you
01:26:57.20\01:27:02.80
in the greatest work
ever entrusted to the feeble
01:27:02.83\01:27:07.25
and frail hands of men and women
01:27:07.28\01:27:10.58
and that is the
lifting up of the mighty
01:27:10.61\01:27:15.51
and matchless name of Jesus.
01:27:15.54\01:27:18.81
Lord, we realize
that we are not sufficient
01:27:18.84\01:27:22.01
for these things.
01:27:22.04\01:27:24.14
We can't preach
enough, we can't teach enough,
01:27:24.17\01:27:28.73
we can't study enough.
01:27:28.76\01:27:31.46
We cannot go far
enough, nor fast enough
01:27:31.49\01:27:35.97
to do the work that must be done
01:27:36.00\01:27:40.57
unless You give
us holy boldness,
01:27:40.60\01:27:45.38
holy unction and Holy Spirit.
01:27:45.41\01:27:50.00
Father, we now
dedicate this facility to You.
01:27:50.03\01:27:57.05
We ask You to come in
01:27:57.08\01:28:00.20
and fill it with Your presence
01:28:00.23\01:28:03.16
first of all so that
those traversing these doors
01:28:03.19\01:28:08.11
will know that this is
a place where Jesus dwell
01:28:08.14\01:28:13.34
and where His
Holy Spirit abides,
01:28:13.37\01:28:16.69
a place that seeks
only to do the will
01:28:16.72\01:28:20.46
of our Father who is in heaven.
01:28:20.49\01:28:23.90
Then we ask, Lord,
that You would bless
01:28:23.93\01:28:26.85
all of the technical
equipment, the cameras,
01:28:26.88\01:28:31.49
the switchers,
the audio, the video,
01:28:31.52\01:28:34.60
every piece of
technical equipment.
01:28:34.63\01:28:36.81
Lord, keep it
working just as long
01:28:36.84\01:28:40.92
as you need it to until
the last person on earth
01:28:40.95\01:28:45.49
has had a chance to
make a decision for Jesus.
01:28:45.52\01:28:48.87
And as the children
of Israel wore shoes
01:28:48.90\01:28:52.90
that did not
wear out for 40 years
01:28:52.93\01:28:55.56
and clothes that did not
tear or break for 40 years,
01:28:55.59\01:28:59.07
keep it working long
past its warranty time.
01:28:59.10\01:29:05.26
Keep it working,
keep it functioning,
01:29:05.29\01:29:08.53
keep it producing materials
that will change lives.
01:29:08.56\01:29:13.44
Then, Father, for
he who You have called
01:29:13.47\01:29:15.65
to be the
leader of this ministry
01:29:15.68\01:29:20.30
may be we all
follow Stephen Bohr
01:29:20.33\01:29:23.07
as he follows Christ.
01:29:23.10\01:29:26.03
May the words that come
from his lips be Your words,
01:29:26.06\01:29:31.62
may his thoughts
be Your thoughts,
01:29:31.65\01:29:35.36
may his living be but
the outworking of Christ
01:29:35.39\01:29:39.51
living in him and
what we ask for him
01:29:39.54\01:29:45.51
we ask for every
member of the staff,
01:29:45.54\01:29:50.39
volunteers and everyone
01:29:50.42\01:29:53.36
whoever touches a
piece of equipment here,
01:29:53.39\01:29:56.66
who has anything to
do with Secrets Unsealed,
01:29:56.69\01:30:00.63
who has been called to
help lift the burden here.
01:30:00.66\01:30:06.30
O Father, may their
hands be consecrated hands,
01:30:06.33\01:30:11.97
may their hearts
be consecrated hearts.
01:30:12.00\01:30:16.26
We want no doubters here, Lord.
01:30:16.29\01:30:18.39
No dissenters here, Lord.
01:30:18.42\01:30:20.50
No unbelievers here, Lord.
01:30:20.53\01:30:22.80
May those who are
called to this ministry
01:30:22.83\01:30:27.42
be children of
the most high God.
01:30:27.45\01:30:32.70
And then give the
messages that leave this place
01:30:32.73\01:30:37.02
Holy Spirit
power to change lives,
01:30:37.05\01:30:41.91
to rearrange destinies,
01:30:41.94\01:30:44.38
to shine light in
the dark lives of those
01:30:44.41\01:30:48.35
who need to know about Jesus.
01:30:48.38\01:30:51.45
Keep this
ministry open and working
01:30:51.48\01:30:55.27
and alive and flourishing.
01:30:55.30\01:30:58.09
May it be a tool
in the hand of God
01:30:58.12\01:31:01.43
for the salvation of
the souls of men and women.
01:31:01.46\01:31:06.17
O Father, we give now
Secrets Unsealed to You
01:31:06.20\01:31:12.39
and ask You to
use it as You see fit.
01:31:12.42\01:31:17.42
O Lord, bless it.
01:31:17.45\01:31:19.88
We don't ask for trouble
free lives or trial free lives,
01:31:19.91\01:31:25.48
we ask for faith to
surmount every trial,
01:31:25.51\01:31:30.46
every trouble
that will come our way.
01:31:30.49\01:31:33.69
Sure in the knowledge
01:31:33.72\01:31:35.60
that victory has
already been one in Jesus.
01:31:35.63\01:31:41.20
Help us, Lord, to take hold
of Your unchanging hand this day
01:31:41.23\01:31:45.42
and hold on to that hand
01:31:45.45\01:31:47.73
until we see You
face to blessed face.
01:31:47.76\01:31:53.05
And then, Father, o dear Father,
01:31:53.08\01:31:57.47
long after the last
prayer has been prayed,
01:31:57.50\01:32:02.81
long after the last
sermon has been preached,
01:32:02.84\01:32:07.62
long after the last video
01:32:07.65\01:32:12.81
has been taped and broadcast,
01:32:12.84\01:32:16.10
long after the doors of
3ABN and Secrets Unsealed
01:32:16.13\01:32:22.39
and so many other ministries
are closed never to open again.
01:32:22.42\01:32:30.02
May we look into the
face of a glorious coming Lord
01:32:30.05\01:32:35.84
and hear from His
blessed lips, well done,
01:32:35.87\01:32:42.99
the good and faithful
servant, you preached,
01:32:43.02\01:32:46.94
you taught, you served,
you wrote, you broadcasted,
01:32:46.97\01:32:52.33
you allowed me
to speak through you
01:32:52.36\01:32:55.77
and now you will enter
into the joy of your Lord.
01:32:55.80\01:33:03.69
Keep us faithful to
that day, dear Jesus,
01:33:03.72\01:33:05.96
o please, keep us faithful.
01:33:05.99\01:33:10.07
And everyone in this ministry
and all of these ministries
01:33:10.10\01:33:14.12
that You have
erected to do a special work
01:33:14.15\01:33:17.58
in these special times.
01:33:17.61\01:33:20.03
O dear God, we
dedicate all we have to you
01:33:20.06\01:33:24.63
and ask you to use us
01:33:24.66\01:33:26.56
until the day you call
us from labor to reward.
01:33:26.59\01:33:31.82
And we thank You, mighty Father,
01:33:31.85\01:33:35.15
in the blessed and
worthy name of Jesus,
01:33:35.18\01:33:40.04
our Lord, our Savior
and soon coming King.
01:33:40.07\01:33:45.84
Amen.
01:33:45.87\01:33:47.20
And amen.
01:33:47.23\01:33:48.34
I want to take
advantage of this opportunity
01:33:53.60\01:33:55.69
and tell you a little bit
about our beloved president,
01:33:55.72\01:33:59.95
our pastor, our
leader, our friend, our mentor.
01:33:59.98\01:34:06.23
Most of you only get to
see the preaching side of him,
01:34:06.26\01:34:10.89
but those of us
that work closely to him
01:34:10.92\01:34:13.49
have the awesome
privilege of seeing a person
01:34:13.52\01:34:17.37
who has a very
sincere, very passionate,
01:34:17.40\01:34:23.16
and loves his flock worldwide
01:34:23.19\01:34:26.42
like I've never
seen anybody truly love.
01:34:26.45\01:34:31.78
I have been around
pastors most of my life
01:34:31.81\01:34:34.49
and unfortunately have seen
the bad, the good and the ugly.
01:34:34.52\01:34:38.80
And I'm here to testify
for God's honor and glory today
01:34:38.83\01:34:42.77
that our pastor,
Pastor Stephen Bohr
01:34:42.80\01:34:46.20
is a genuinely
sincere loving man
01:34:46.23\01:34:49.48
who truly takes
his responsibility of
01:34:49.51\01:34:52.18
preaching the gospel
01:34:52.21\01:34:53.96
and having the love
for his flock seriously.
01:34:53.99\01:34:57.18
I want to tell you
about a little experience.
01:34:57.21\01:35:02.42
Usually when he's on the road,
01:35:02.45\01:35:05.14
we have church
members that pass away,
01:35:05.17\01:35:08.25
it's kind of become a bad
job between us but it's there.
01:35:08.28\01:35:12.91
And I remember one evening,
01:35:12.94\01:35:15.82
when a long member
of Fresno Central Church
01:35:15.85\01:35:18.77
was on her deathbed.
01:35:18.80\01:35:22.26
I called him up and at
insane hour of the morning
01:35:22.29\01:35:25.70
through his son Steve
'cause he was with him
01:35:25.73\01:35:29.11
and I said, Pastor Bohr,
Cristina is gonna die tonight,
01:35:29.14\01:35:32.97
you need to talk to her.
01:35:33.00\01:35:35.93
And do you know that
after he got over me crazy
01:35:35.96\01:35:39.06
calling him at 3
o'clock in the morning his time
01:35:39.09\01:35:42.38
he picked up the
telephone from England
01:35:42.41\01:35:44.83
to call a church member
01:35:44.86\01:35:46.61
that he would not be
speaking to ever again.
01:35:46.64\01:35:50.24
That is a genuine
love for his flock.
01:35:50.27\01:35:55.34
This is something that comes
from him that is very sincere.
01:35:55.37\01:35:59.05
He cares about his
staff like nobody does.
01:35:59.08\01:36:02.57
He takes time with
every single one of us,
01:36:02.60\01:36:06.08
every single day that he's here
01:36:06.11\01:36:09.41
and nothing
escapes his attention,
01:36:09.44\01:36:12.72
because he loves the ministry,
he's passionate about it
01:36:12.75\01:36:16.38
and he wants to make
sure that we are happy
01:36:16.41\01:36:19.36
and have everything that we need
in order to function properly.
01:36:19.39\01:36:23.70
I'd like to take
that a step further.
01:36:23.73\01:36:26.10
He has an
incredible ability to not only
01:36:26.13\01:36:29.53
oversee everything
here at Secrets Unsealed
01:36:29.56\01:36:32.61
whether he is on the
road or here physically
01:36:32.64\01:36:35.65
but he also has that ability
01:36:35.68\01:36:37.82
to do that with
his church members.
01:36:37.85\01:36:40.51
He's gone a lot,
he's on the road a lot
01:36:40.54\01:36:42.58
but I'm here to tell you
that when he is here in town,
01:36:42.61\01:36:45.51
he is doing visitation,
01:36:45.54\01:36:47.33
he is seeking out to
see who is discouraged,
01:36:47.36\01:36:50.09
who is sick, he
goes to the hospitals.
01:36:50.12\01:36:52.62
I know this because my
husband Larry goes with him.
01:36:52.65\01:36:56.18
And this is a man that I
just can't say enough about
01:36:56.21\01:37:01.20
he's a blessed
and have to work with,
01:37:01.23\01:37:03.83
we have a lot of
fun, we enjoy what we do.
01:37:03.86\01:37:08.33
It is a very happy environment
01:37:08.36\01:37:11.22
but it is an environment
in which we are learning
01:37:11.25\01:37:14.27
and we are watching him closely
01:37:14.30\01:37:17.59
and he is mentoring
us and helping all of us
01:37:17.62\01:37:20.61
to become better Seventh-day
Adventist Christians.
01:37:20.64\01:37:23.97
It is an honor, it is a
pleasure, it is lots of fun.
01:37:24.00\01:37:28.21
We are very thankful
for you, Pastor Bohr,
01:37:28.24\01:37:30.04
for your
leadership, for your mentorship.
01:37:30.07\01:37:34.09
He's the best dad I've ever had.
01:37:34.12\01:37:37.76
And so I just thought
I'd share that side of him,
01:37:37.79\01:37:41.82
because many people think
that he's on the road a lot
01:37:41.85\01:37:44.38
and how could he possibly
be taking care of his church.
01:37:44.41\01:37:47.34
I'm here to tell you that
he takes care of his church.
01:37:47.37\01:37:50.13
He knows
exactly what is going on
01:37:50.16\01:37:52.15
in every
department that is there
01:37:52.18\01:37:55.17
from cradle roll to the
adult Sabbath school class
01:37:55.20\01:37:58.73
not because he has
to but because he cares.
01:37:58.76\01:38:01.97
And I believe that
people around the world
01:38:02.00\01:38:04.05
when they meet him,
01:38:04.08\01:38:05.48
when they have the
ability to speak with him
01:38:05.51\01:38:07.60
and touch him
and give him a hug,
01:38:07.63\01:38:10.36
they see that sincerity
01:38:10.39\01:38:12.71
and I just praise God for that
01:38:12.74\01:38:14.21
because that is a rare
quality to find in a pastor.
01:38:14.24\01:38:19.36
And so, Pastor Bohr,
01:38:19.39\01:38:20.52
we are here to
hold your hands up high.
01:38:20.55\01:38:22.84
We pray for you all
the time when you're gone,
01:38:22.87\01:38:24.94
when you're here.
01:38:24.97\01:38:26.51
And we thank you for
putting up with all of us.
01:38:26.54\01:38:28.50
By the way did I ever
tell you about the time
01:38:35.95\01:38:37.81
that Aileen
almost broke my ribs?
01:38:37.84\01:38:41.83
I'm not gonna tell
the story, don't worry.
01:38:41.86\01:38:45.48
But I'd also like to say that
I have a very patience wife.
01:38:45.51\01:38:50.77
She would have to have
the patience of the saints,
01:38:50.80\01:38:54.07
literally, because of
all the travel that I do
01:38:54.10\01:38:57.63
and I'm away from
home, when I'm home,
01:38:57.66\01:39:00.54
I try to do my honey-do duties
01:39:00.57\01:39:04.86
but I'm gone a lot and this year
01:39:04.89\01:39:08.64
we will celebrate our 43rd
wedding anniversary, 43 years.
01:39:08.67\01:39:15.14
I just don't know how
she's been able to put up
01:39:15.17\01:39:17.10
with me that long.
01:39:17.13\01:39:19.61
Well, you know,
Seventh-day Adventist meeting
01:39:19.64\01:39:21.32
can never end
without an offering.
01:39:21.35\01:39:25.95
So that is our time now.
01:39:25.98\01:39:28.58
I like to mention four projects
01:39:28.61\01:39:32.00
that still are
outstanding on Secrets Unsealed.
01:39:32.03\01:39:37.34
You see we' not only
want to share theology,
01:39:37.37\01:39:41.61
we also want to share physiology
01:39:41.64\01:39:46.42
and we have an outstanding
instructor in Dr. Teske.
01:39:46.45\01:39:51.99
So we've asked
Dr. Teske to spearhead
01:39:52.02\01:39:55.29
the growth of a health
side of Secrets Unsealed.
01:39:55.32\01:40:01.12
And one of the
things that we want to do
01:40:01.15\01:40:03.30
is build a kitchen set.
01:40:03.33\01:40:04.99
We already have
the architectural plans
01:40:05.02\01:40:07.41
but we're still fundraising
to prepare a kitchen set,
01:40:07.44\01:40:11.39
professionally done where we
can have cooking demonstrations
01:40:11.42\01:40:15.57
and where he can
present his lectures.
01:40:15.60\01:40:17.98
That's one of the
projects that we have
01:40:18.01\01:40:19.58
that project is
going to cost probably
01:40:19.61\01:40:22.26
in the
neighborhood of $20-25, 000
01:40:22.29\01:40:25.02
to have the kitchen set built.
01:40:25.05\01:40:26.88
That area that you
find open over there,
01:40:26.91\01:40:30.26
you might say why they'd
configured the room that way,
01:40:30.29\01:40:32.93
that's where we're
gonna have our kitchen set
01:40:32.96\01:40:34.93
over in that area.
01:40:34.96\01:40:36.77
The second thing that we
want to do fundraising for is
01:40:36.80\01:40:40.47
we really need another
production camera in here.
01:40:40.50\01:40:43.93
That camera that
does the audience shots
01:40:43.96\01:40:45.86
is an old camera,
01:40:45.89\01:40:47.29
it's not as clear
as the other cameras
01:40:47.32\01:40:50.22
and so we really need
another production camera.
01:40:50.25\01:40:54.24
Also you'll notice that
we only have partially set up
01:40:54.27\01:40:57.39
our light grill-- grid.
01:40:57.42\01:41:00.52
We would like to set up
lights in all of the studio
01:41:00.55\01:41:03.65
because it takes
about a whole day
01:41:03.68\01:41:06.74
to reconfigure lights
for an event such as this.
01:41:06.77\01:41:10.37
And you know, our technicians
have to get on ladders,
01:41:10.40\01:41:13.07
they have to move them,
they have to adjust them.
01:41:13.10\01:41:15.94
And we're looking forward
to the time when we'll have
01:41:15.97\01:41:18.25
lights all over the
studio and we don't have to do
01:41:18.28\01:41:21.04
any reconfiguring when we do
production here in the studio.
01:41:21.07\01:41:25.94
And then lastly our big dream
01:41:25.97\01:41:29.71
is to purchase
a production truck
01:41:29.74\01:41:33.06
where we can go on the road
01:41:33.09\01:41:34.91
and produce
programming on the road.
01:41:34.94\01:41:36.56
You say why would
you want to do that,
01:41:36.59\01:41:37.75
you got this beautiful studio?
01:41:37.78\01:41:39.25
Let me explain the reason why,
01:41:39.28\01:41:41.60
I travel in California
to invitations that I've had
01:41:41.63\01:41:46.48
mainly to
Hispanic speaking churches.
01:41:46.51\01:41:49.86
And when I go there
01:41:49.89\01:41:52.26
I'll preach maybe a
series of five or six sermons
01:41:52.29\01:41:55.30
and the people there a benefited
by the study of God's word
01:41:55.33\01:41:59.15
but basically
nothing is produced.
01:41:59.18\01:42:02.89
They just you know
they listen to the sermons
01:42:02.92\01:42:05.75
and you know maybe
they record them locally
01:42:05.78\01:42:08.11
but it doesn't go beyond that.
01:42:08.14\01:42:10.13
If we had a production truck,
01:42:10.16\01:42:12.23
we could go to
all of these places
01:42:12.26\01:42:14.40
and we could
produce live on site.
01:42:14.43\01:42:18.51
And we can
produce these programs
01:42:18.54\01:42:20.24
for later
broadcast on 3ABN Latino
01:42:20.27\01:42:24.25
and other Spanish
speaking stations.
01:42:24.28\01:42:27.02
So if we could
travel with the truck
01:42:27.05\01:42:29.96
and the truck has the satellite,
we could even do uplinks,
01:42:29.99\01:42:33.01
live uplinks with 3ABN and
another television stations.
01:42:33.04\01:42:37.53
You're saying well, how
much does this project cost?
01:42:37.56\01:42:40.19
Well, the camera
probably will cost
01:42:40.22\01:42:42.43
in the neighborhood of $30,000,
01:42:42.46\01:42:45.06
the light grid
probably around $20-30,000,
01:42:45.09\01:42:49.63
the kitchen set already
mentioned about $25, 000
01:42:49.66\01:42:52.64
and the production
truck is a lot pricier,
01:42:52.67\01:42:55.45
it would cost about $300,000
to get the production truck.
01:42:55.48\01:43:00.52
And so this afternoon
we're gonna pickup an offering
01:43:00.55\01:43:04.09
and we're gonna
have a word of prayer
01:43:04.12\01:43:06.46
to ask the Lord to touch hearts,
01:43:06.49\01:43:08.52
you know probably we have
a lot more than what we need
01:43:08.55\01:43:12.49
and you know if we have a
little extra sitting around
01:43:12.52\01:43:15.96
eventually it's gonna
burn with when Jesus comes.
01:43:15.99\01:43:18.70
And so there is nothing better
than investing in God's cause
01:43:18.73\01:43:21.94
and I believed that this is
God's cause Secrets Unsealed.
01:43:21.97\01:43:25.32
So I would encourage
you to take out the card
01:43:25.35\01:43:28.92
that you had in your program
01:43:28.95\01:43:31.42
and you can put your name
01:43:31.45\01:43:33.42
and your address, your
phone number et cetera,
01:43:33.45\01:43:36.06
if you want to make a
donation through credit card,
01:43:36.09\01:43:38.35
there the information is.
01:43:38.38\01:43:39.58
It's very secure
here at Secrets Unsealed.
01:43:39.61\01:43:42.85
The information is
destroyed after it's processed
01:43:42.88\01:43:45.93
so you don't have to be worried
about putting your information,
01:43:45.96\01:43:50.09
your credit card information.
01:43:50.12\01:43:51.87
So at this time
we're gonna ask the deacons
01:43:51.90\01:43:55.22
to pickup an offering as
soon as we have the prayer
01:43:55.25\01:43:58.81
and Ed Wagner who is our pianist
01:43:58.84\01:44:00.91
and he's been with us I
think from the first summit,
01:44:00.94\01:44:02.86
haven't you, Ed?
01:44:02.89\01:44:03.92
From the first summit he
comes and he plays for us,
01:44:03.95\01:44:07.91
he presents a
mini concert usually.
01:44:07.94\01:44:10.07
We're very thankful
that he's able to be here.
01:44:10.10\01:44:12.33
He will play while the
offering is being picked up.
01:44:12.36\01:44:15.56
Let's shall bow our
heads for the word of prayer.
01:44:15.59\01:44:18.60
Father in Heaven,
we thank You so much
01:44:18.63\01:44:20.51
for the privilege of
working in Your cause,
01:44:20.54\01:44:23.76
as we look at the world
01:44:23.79\01:44:24.83
we see that everything
is unraveling at the seams,
01:44:24.86\01:44:28.80
things are falling
apart, nature's rebellious,
01:44:28.83\01:44:32.88
human beings are
rebellious, shootings everywhere
01:44:32.91\01:44:36.84
and just open boldface
defines of Your holy name.
01:44:36.87\01:44:42.10
And Father, the
world needs Your message.
01:44:42.13\01:44:45.06
The world needs the
Three Angels Message.
01:44:45.09\01:44:48.16
People need a reason to live.
01:44:48.19\01:44:51.06
And I ask,
Father, You will bless us
01:44:51.09\01:44:52.72
as we receive this offering
01:44:52.75\01:44:54.85
that You will
touch minds and hearts
01:44:54.88\01:44:57.46
and that we will be able to do
01:44:57.49\01:44:59.73
what we can and
perhaps even go beyond
01:44:59.76\01:45:03.85
what we individually care
to help with these projects
01:45:03.88\01:45:07.59
so that we can reach the
world with our unique message.
01:45:07.62\01:45:11.82
We thank You, Father,
for hearing our prayer
01:45:11.85\01:45:14.82
for we ask it in the
precious name of Jesus, amen.
01:45:14.85\01:45:18.37
"To God be the
glory" is the song
01:48:32.17\01:48:34.45
that's in your program.
01:48:34.48\01:48:37.17
Turn to the back
page of your program
01:48:37.20\01:48:38.67
and sing with us,
"To God be the glory."
01:48:38.70\01:48:42.63
To God be the glory,
great things he hath done!
01:48:58.07\01:49:04.38
So loved he the world
that he gave us his Son
01:49:04.41\01:49:10.21
Who yielded his
life an atonement for sin
01:49:10.24\01:49:16.13
And opened the
life-gate that all may go in
01:49:16.16\01:49:22.53
Praise the Lord, praise the Lord
01:49:22.56\01:49:25.65
Let the earth hear his voice!
01:49:25.68\01:49:28.97
Praise the Lord, praise the Lord
01:49:29.00\01:49:31.71
Let the people rejoice!
01:49:31.74\01:49:35.10
O come to the
Father thru Jesus the Son
01:49:35.13\01:49:41.10
And give him the glory,
great things he hath done!
01:49:41.13\01:49:48.64
O perfect redemption,
the purchase of blood
01:49:48.67\01:49:54.71
To every believer
the promise of God
01:49:54.74\01:50:00.92
The vilest
offender who truly believes
01:50:00.95\01:50:07.28
That moment from
Jesus a pardon receives
01:50:07.31\01:50:13.58
Praise the Lord, praise the Lord
01:50:13.61\01:50:16.82
Let the earth hear his voice!
01:50:16.85\01:50:20.23
Praise the Lord, praise the Lord
01:50:20.26\01:50:23.15
Let the people rejoice!
01:50:23.18\01:50:26.60
O come to the
Father thru Jesus the Son
01:50:26.63\01:50:32.89
And give him the glory,
great things he hath done!
01:50:32.92\01:50:40.56
Great things he hath father,
great things he has done!
01:50:40.59\01:50:47.20
And great our
rejoicing thru Jesus the Son
01:50:47.23\01:50:53.44
But purer, and
higher, and greater will be
01:50:53.47\01:50:59.89
Our wonder, our transport,
01:50:59.92\01:51:03.03
when Jesus we
see-- Sing it up now.
01:51:03.06\01:51:06.30
Praise the Lord, praise the Lord
01:51:06.33\01:51:09.68
Let the earth hear his voice!
01:51:09.71\01:51:13.08
Praise the Lord, praise the Lord
01:51:13.11\01:51:16.19
Let the people rejoice!
01:51:16.22\01:51:19.64
O come to the
Father thru Jesus the Son
01:51:19.67\01:51:26.28
And give him the glory,
great things he hath done!
01:51:26.31\01:51:33.78
Amen. Amen.
01:51:38.61\01:51:40.20
And this brings
our dedication service
01:51:45.05\01:51:47.08
to a close and let's
close it with a word of prayer.
01:51:47.11\01:51:51.05
Bow your heads with me.
01:51:51.08\01:51:53.70
Dear God, it is with a
deeps sense of gratitude
01:51:53.73\01:51:58.25
and thankfulness
that we are here today.
01:51:58.28\01:52:02.17
For all that You
have accomplished
01:52:02.20\01:52:04.63
so far here for what we
have seen You accomplish
01:52:04.66\01:52:08.00
and moving this work forward.
01:52:08.03\01:52:11.30
We also come with a
heart full of gratitude
01:52:11.33\01:52:13.75
and thankfulness for
giving Your life for us,
01:52:13.78\01:52:18.18
for Your life here on this earth
01:52:18.21\01:52:20.49
to make possible the conclusion
of evil in this world.
01:52:20.52\01:52:25.88
And we're
honored and full of all
01:52:25.91\01:52:30.33
that You have working with us
01:52:30.36\01:52:32.48
to have a part in this
final work in this world.
01:52:32.51\01:52:37.75
And now we ask You especially
Your spirit upon Pastor Bohr
01:52:37.78\01:52:41.96
and upon each
member of the staff here,
01:52:41.99\01:52:44.12
each volunteer that
we can be fully dedicated
01:52:44.15\01:52:47.70
and fill it with your
spirit to move forward
01:52:47.73\01:52:51.11
and accomplishing what You
would have us to accomplish
01:52:51.14\01:52:53.78
in these last days
as we finish up the work
01:52:53.81\01:52:57.54
that needs to
be done, we realize
01:52:57.57\01:52:59.98
these are exciting
times, there are sometimes
01:53:00.01\01:53:03.47
that everyone has
been looking forward
01:53:03.50\01:53:06.09
to throughout the
1,000 years of Bible history
01:53:06.12\01:53:09.36
pointed forward
to these final days.
01:53:09.39\01:53:12.15
And we look
forward that the conclusion
01:53:12.18\01:53:15.14
when we can see You
coming in the clouds
01:53:15.17\01:53:17.93
and we look forward to that
and it was with that thought
01:53:17.96\01:53:21.18
that we close
this asking all this
01:53:21.21\01:53:24.69
in the precious name of Jesus
who we hope to see soon, amen.
01:53:24.72\01:53:29.05
Amen.
01:53:29.08\01:53:31.11
We'd like to-- this
concludes our program
01:53:36.90\01:53:39.61
but we'd like to
invite all you to share
01:53:39.64\01:53:41.59
with some refreshments with us
01:53:41.62\01:53:44.29
as you go out the
door here to your right,
01:53:44.32\01:53:47.19
there is pavilion out
there and some refreshment
01:53:47.22\01:53:50.94
and an opportunity to
fellowship and to share
01:53:50.97\01:53:54.26
and an in
informal way with all of us
01:53:54.29\01:53:56.86
and we with you
and we thank you all
01:53:56.89\01:53:59.73
for coming and being part
of this dedicatory service.
01:53:59.76\01:54:04.39
Well, we still have
about three minutes left
01:54:04.42\01:54:06.64
to the program this
afternoon, everything has worked
01:54:06.67\01:54:10.07
like clockwork and
I just want to express
01:54:10.10\01:54:13.28
my great
appreciation to all of you
01:54:13.31\01:54:16.04
for coming to this great
celebration this afternoon.
01:54:16.07\01:54:19.61
And I want to thank all of you
01:54:19.64\01:54:21.31
for your support
of Secrets Unsealed.
01:54:21.34\01:54:25.16
And I'm not only
talking about financial support,
01:54:25.19\01:54:28.31
I'm talking about your prayers.
01:54:28.34\01:54:30.59
We really need
and cover your prayers
01:54:30.62\01:54:34.08
because there
is power in prayer.
01:54:34.11\01:54:36.32
You know God is the owner
of the silver and the gold
01:54:36.35\01:54:40.22
and if we pray God is going to
provide the silver and the gold
01:54:40.25\01:54:44.87
but we need to
come to Him in prayer
01:54:44.90\01:54:48.33
and we need to
ask and the Bible says
01:54:48.36\01:54:50.62
that if ask we will receive.
01:54:50.65\01:54:52.99
I certainly hope that
all of us are planning
01:54:53.02\01:54:56.31
on staying for some fellowship,
01:54:56.34\01:54:59.87
we got-- have a canopy outside
01:54:59.90\01:55:02.69
and we have some
food for us all to share,
01:55:02.72\01:55:06.96
some good healthy food,
01:55:06.99\01:55:09.71
Dr. Teskey, you know
we do have him present
01:55:09.74\01:55:12.98
and he's supervising
here so we have to make sure
01:55:13.01\01:55:15.38
that we have healthy food.
01:55:15.41\01:55:17.15
I want to thank all
of our production crew,
01:55:17.18\01:55:21.56
you didn't see them,
01:55:21.59\01:55:22.98
they are in the booth
back there, they have--
01:55:23.01\01:55:24.99
oh, I don't know,
eight or nine people
01:55:25.02\01:55:26.99
doing the sound
and doing the video
01:55:27.02\01:55:29.11
and doing different things
and they are in the booth.
01:55:29.14\01:55:32.42
If you see them make
sure that you thank them
01:55:32.45\01:55:34.84
for their
service this afternoon.
01:55:34.87\01:55:38.61
I want to thank
everyone who came,
01:55:38.64\01:55:40.72
Ed Wagner for playing the piano,
01:55:40.75\01:55:42.60
chorister Aileen,
Terri, the board members,
01:55:42.63\01:55:46.98
and probably forgetting somebody
01:55:47.01\01:55:48.78
but I want to thank you
all for your great support
01:55:48.81\01:55:53.83
and your energy in support
and helping Secrets Unsealed.
01:55:53.86\01:55:59.16
I also want to thank
the three Issa girls,
01:55:59.19\01:56:02.88
we're blessed, praise the Lord.
01:56:02.91\01:56:06.01
I always ask them
to do something to sing
01:56:06.04\01:56:09.86
and by the way
one of them is a poet.
01:56:09.89\01:56:12.51
Kamiel, Kamiel is a poet,
she writes beautiful poetry.
01:56:12.54\01:56:16.06
So anyway we're
glad that you came,
01:56:16.09\01:56:19.36
we wish the Lord's special
blessing upon each of you
01:56:19.39\01:56:22.56
as we begin this new
week may we live for the Lord,
01:56:22.59\01:56:27.09
may we take
advantage of every opportunity
01:56:27.12\01:56:29.56
that we have of
sharing God's special message
01:56:29.59\01:56:33.33
for this time,
because time is short.
01:56:33.36\01:56:36.25
The science and
the world tell us
01:56:36.28\01:56:38.15
that Jesus is even at the doors.
01:56:38.18\01:56:40.66
And so we can't waste anytime,
01:56:40.69\01:56:42.72
we must go out and proclaim
01:56:42.75\01:56:45.65
God's special
message for this time.
01:56:45.68\01:56:48.19
Once again thank you
everybody for coming.
01:56:48.22\01:56:51.19
I hope you enjoyed the program
01:56:51.22\01:56:52.46
and we hope to see
a lot more of you here
01:56:52.49\01:56:56.17
at the Secrets Unsealed studios.
01:56:56.20\01:56:58.28
Please continue to pray for us,
01:56:58.31\01:57:00.11
we appreciate
your financial support.
01:57:00.14\01:57:02.41
May God bless and keep
all of you in His loving care.
01:57:02.44\01:57:07.01
Thank you so much.
01:57:07.04\01:57:08.11
