Welcome to the 3ABN
Spring Camp Meeting:
00:00:41.00\00:00:43.91
The Three Angels' Messages
00:00:44.31\00:00:47.08
Hello and welcome to
our first night of 3ABN
00:00:51.08\00:00:54.98
Spring Camp Meeting!
Are you happy to be here?
00:00:55.18\00:00:57.82
Amen! Yes!
00:00:58.02\00:01:00.36
We anticipate a
wonderful time in the Lord.
00:01:02.09\00:01:06.09
We are looking forward for
what the Lord is going to do
00:01:06.49\00:01:09.20
for us, to us,
with us, and through us
00:01:09.40\00:01:11.97
for the next several days.
00:01:12.17\00:01:14.30
And Danny...
take it away. Oh! OK.
00:01:14.50\00:01:17.07
He did pretty good, didn't he?
00:01:17.47\00:01:18.81
You should be here 'cause
we've got some things going on
00:01:19.14\00:01:21.81
behind the scenes that
you probably don't know.
00:01:22.01\00:01:24.05
One was he didn't know he
was going to do the intro.
00:01:24.25\00:01:26.41
But I think he did quite
well, don't you? That's right.
00:01:26.61\00:01:29.48
And we are glad
that you're here tonight,
00:01:29.68\00:01:31.45
and this Camp meeting is
going to be on present truth.
00:01:31.65\00:01:34.42
And so that's been the theme
of 3ABN this year for 2018:
00:01:34.62\00:01:38.99
present truth. And God has
blessed with some incredible
00:01:39.19\00:01:43.10
subjects for the
speakers. BUT for the music
00:01:43.30\00:01:46.87
we said: "What can we
do to do a new project
00:01:47.27\00:01:50.84
on the three angels' messages? "
00:01:51.04\00:01:52.37
We've really never
seen anything done.
00:01:52.41\00:01:53.94
And so part of our
testimony is going to be...
00:01:54.34\00:01:56.85
The concert is
Friday night at 6 o'clock.
00:01:57.05\00:01:59.75
Six o'clock I said to
everybody; not seven now.
00:01:59.95\00:02:02.72
Some people probably think
it's seven, you know. Yeah.
00:02:02.92\00:02:05.75
But six. I thought the
program tonight was at seven.
00:02:05.95\00:02:08.86
That's our private joke
for those of you at home.
00:02:09.06\00:02:11.13
Barely made it here in time.
00:02:11.53\00:02:12.89
But 6 o'clock Friday
night have a concert with some
00:02:13.09\00:02:16.13
brand new songs written on
the three angels' messages.
00:02:16.33\00:02:18.87
Lanny Wolfe will be
here. David Huntsinger;
00:02:19.07\00:02:21.47
Kris Wilkinson...
did the Pillars project.
00:02:21.67\00:02:24.04
Others will be here.
David Clydesdale, one of the
00:02:24.44\00:02:26.88
arrangers, is here. And so we're
going to have some tremendous
00:02:27.08\00:02:30.48
guests and brothers
and sisters in the Lord.
00:02:30.88\00:02:33.95
And tonight we have Aaron
Wilburn's going to be here
00:02:34.15\00:02:35.75
in a few
moments. Yeah... amen. But
00:02:35.95\00:02:37.69
Jill, I think there's
something that you wanted to do
00:02:37.89\00:02:40.29
or say right now.
This might be a good time
00:02:40.49\00:02:42.39
to do it, don't you think so?
00:02:42.59\00:02:44.06
You've got something in
your hand. I have something
00:02:44.26\00:02:46.09
in my hand here. How
many of you know and love
00:02:46.29\00:02:48.73
Ms. Mollie Steenson?
00:02:48.93\00:02:50.57
Mollie has served 3ABN
for many many many years
00:02:54.34\00:02:58.37
and has been an
incredible blessing
00:02:59.51\00:03:02.24
in my own heart and life.
00:03:02.44\00:03:04.31
And Mollie and Pastor
Hal are getting ready to move
00:03:05.11\00:03:08.88
to Alabama. That does not mean
00:03:09.08\00:03:12.05
that they won't be
back for Camp Meeting,
00:03:12.25\00:03:13.82
they won't be back
for taping here and there,
00:03:14.02\00:03:16.62
and we're excited about that
and we're thankful for that.
00:03:16.83\00:03:19.79
But 3ABN, our team
here, we wanted to recognize
00:03:20.00\00:03:23.97
you, Mollie, in a special
way for your years of service.
00:03:24.17\00:03:26.53
We have this plaque here.
It says: you want to hold that?
00:03:26.74\00:03:31.14
With our deepest appreciation
Three Angels Broadcasting
00:03:31.64\00:03:34.78
Network hereby
honors Mollie Steenson
00:03:34.98\00:03:37.78
for over two
decades of faithful service
00:03:37.98\00:03:40.42
and loyal commitment
to spreading the undiluted
00:03:40.62\00:03:43.82
three angels'
messages of Revelation 14
00:03:44.02\00:03:46.15
to the world from 1995 to 2018.
00:03:46.35\00:03:51.56
Through your Christian
service you have personified
00:03:52.06\00:03:54.86
Colossians 3:12-13:
00:03:55.06\00:03:57.67
"Therefore the elect
of God, holy and beloved,
00:03:57.87\00:04:00.80
put on tender mercies,
kindness, humility, meekness,
00:04:01.00\00:04:03.71
longsuffering, bearing
with one another and forgiving
00:04:03.91\00:04:07.08
one another. " And
Mollie, I just know
00:04:07.28\00:04:08.84
from my own heart
you're a woman of God.
00:04:09.04\00:04:13.45
You're a Proverbs 31 woman.
00:04:13.85\00:04:16.18
She's a woman of
grace and dignity.
00:04:16.38\00:04:18.95
And today your children
- which is us here at 3ABN,
00:04:19.15\00:04:23.12
us at Camp Meetings,
those of you at home -
00:04:23.32\00:04:25.79
we rise up and
we call you blessed.
00:04:25.99\00:04:28.56
Thank you; thank you.
00:04:29.06\00:04:31.90
I am so honored and I
just want to say this:
00:04:36.57\00:04:39.51
this Camp Meeting... There's a
couple sitting on the front row
00:04:39.71\00:04:42.81
and they were in my
office earlier today.
00:04:43.01\00:04:45.91
And I told them: "You
just watch. This is going to be
00:04:46.31\00:04:48.62
the greatest Camp
Meeting you've ever been to. "
00:04:48.82\00:04:50.62
And they said
something to the effect of:
00:04:50.82\00:04:52.15
"You always say that! "
00:04:52.35\00:04:53.69
And I told them: "You just
wait till Saturday night! "
00:04:53.86\00:04:57.63
When we start to leave
here I'm going to look at them
00:04:57.83\00:05:00.10
and say: "You know
what? I told you so! "
00:05:00.30\00:05:02.03
This is going to be
the greatest Camp Meeting.
00:05:02.43\00:05:04.30
And I want to just continue
with this: when I came to 3ABN
00:05:04.50\00:05:08.60
I didn't know what the
three angels' messages was.
00:05:08.80\00:05:11.61
I was a little Charismatic girl
00:05:11.81\00:05:14.74
that Danny loved
enough to invite me to come be
00:05:14.94\00:05:17.88
a part of this great ministry.
00:05:18.08\00:05:19.48
And I want you to
know it's these messages
00:05:19.68\00:05:22.58
that we're going to hear
about during this Camp Meeting
00:05:22.78\00:05:24.95
that have changed my life.
00:05:25.15\00:05:27.12
If there's anything
worthy that you see within me,
00:05:27.52\00:05:30.43
it's because what God
has done through His Word.
00:05:30.63\00:05:33.46
And I just appreciate...
Danny, thank you so much
00:05:33.66\00:05:36.70
for allowing me to be a part
of this ministry at a time...
00:05:36.90\00:05:41.04
This is the Mending
Broken People ministry,
00:05:41.24\00:05:43.77
and I'm one of those people
that was broken that God has
00:05:43.97\00:05:46.27
mended. And I
just am so grateful
00:05:46.47\00:05:49.34
not only for this
ministry but for God's Word
00:05:49.54\00:05:53.01
that is powerful. And it's that
Word that is going to change
00:05:53.21\00:05:56.15
every one of us this weekend.
00:05:56.35\00:05:58.15
Amen! Thank you, Mollie Sue.
00:05:58.35\00:06:00.69
I've known Mollie and
Hal since the late 70's.
00:06:06.03\00:06:08.40
They came from Alabama and
started a Charismatic church.
00:06:08.60\00:06:11.53
Years and years later we were
so blessed to have she and Hal
00:06:11.73\00:06:15.10
to join the 3ABN family.
00:06:15.30\00:06:18.01
And she was general
manager for many many years.
00:06:18.21\00:06:20.74
Jill now has taken that role.
00:06:20.94\00:06:23.51
And you had a good mentor,
so Jill is stepping right in
00:06:23.71\00:06:26.88
and doing a wonderful job.
00:06:27.08\00:06:28.42
And Mollie, I love you with
all my heart. You know that.
00:06:28.78\00:06:30.95
And Bro. Hal. And so this
is not good-bye, of course.
00:06:31.15\00:06:33.82
But we're just doing this
'cause it's formally retirement
00:06:34.02\00:06:36.16
but Mollie's going to be
around. You're going to see her
00:06:36.36\00:06:37.69
on Sabbath School programs.
00:06:37.76\00:06:39.09
You're going to see
her at Camp Meetings.
00:06:39.13\00:06:40.46
You're going to see her
all kinds of things, so...
00:06:40.60\00:06:42.76
doing programming.
She's just not going to be
00:06:42.96\00:06:44.53
in the day-to-day as she
has been for so many years
00:06:44.73\00:06:47.97
for a number of reason...
and they're good reasons.
00:06:48.17\00:06:50.07
But we love you
and thank you so much.
00:06:50.27\00:06:52.01
And Pastor John, I wonder if
you would say a special prayer.
00:06:52.21\00:06:54.11
Let's just kind of lay
hands on Mollie: all of us here
00:06:54.31\00:06:56.61
and you say a special
prayer for Mollie and Hal, OK?
00:06:57.01\00:06:59.91
Loving Father in heaven,
00:07:01.02\00:07:02.68
You saw Mollie's journey before
she even took the first step.
00:07:04.79\00:07:08.82
You looked down, as Danny
has said, through the portals
00:07:11.23\00:07:14.16
of time and Your eyes
have been roaming to and fro
00:07:14.36\00:07:18.53
throughout the
earth to find someone
00:07:18.73\00:07:22.00
whose heart is loyal to You.
00:07:23.14\00:07:24.94
And You found Mollie
and You anointed her, Lord,
00:07:25.77\00:07:29.58
with Your Holy
Spirit and You nurtured her
00:07:29.78\00:07:33.01
in this path of righteousness
and truth and integrity
00:07:33.21\00:07:37.25
and dedication. And
Lord, we stand here today
00:07:37.89\00:07:42.22
with our hands on a
spiritual "Stradivarius. "
00:07:42.42\00:07:45.56
Hmm. Somebody who
has been cured by time
00:07:45.96\00:07:50.97
whose spirituality could
not be developed overnight
00:07:51.47\00:07:55.30
but through
trial and tribulation,
00:07:56.30\00:07:58.51
through hard decisions and
moments when it seemed easier
00:07:58.71\00:08:03.75
to run than to stand still.
00:08:03.95\00:08:05.51
Mollie chose to stand
still and see the salvation of
00:08:06.01\00:08:09.05
the Lord - um-hmm -
and we honor her today
00:08:09.25\00:08:12.25
for her steadfastness. When
the storms of challenge came
00:08:12.45\00:08:16.86
Mollie looked to You and said:
"Father, bring us through. "
00:08:17.06\00:08:21.26
And there were those who
walked through the doors of 3ABN
00:08:22.66\00:08:25.23
day by day and they
said: "Is Mollie here? "
00:08:25.43\00:08:27.40
When the answer was
"Yes" their hearts were calmed.
00:08:27.80\00:08:30.57
But Father, now we come
to the intersection of time
00:08:30.97\00:08:34.01
and I pray that the works that
Mollie has done will follow her,
00:08:35.34\00:08:38.45
will speak to the
hearts of generations to come,
00:08:39.25\00:08:42.25
and may those who come
behind her find her faithful.
00:08:42.45\00:08:45.69
Amen! Bless Pastor Hal
and as they both sojourn now
00:08:45.89\00:08:49.82
to be with family
and to be in Alabama
00:08:50.03\00:08:51.86
to just "stop
and smell the roses"
00:08:52.06\00:08:53.90
we look forward to the day
when we can hear the words:
00:08:54.10\00:08:56.10
"Well done, thou good
and faithful servant. " Yes.
00:08:56.30\00:08:58.87
And when the roll
is called up yonder
00:08:59.07\00:09:00.80
somewhere there's
going to be some Alabamians
00:09:01.20\00:09:03.10
singing Hallelujah!
00:09:03.30\00:09:04.71
We know we're going to
hear Mollie and Hal as they rise
00:09:05.54\00:09:07.71
to meet the Lord in the air.
00:09:07.91\00:09:09.24
So we don't say good-bye...
00:09:09.54\00:09:10.88
we just say: "So long for now. "
00:09:11.01\00:09:12.51
And may we sojourn, may
we continue to be faithful,
00:09:12.91\00:09:15.68
and may every fabric You have
spun to strengthen her resolve
00:09:15.88\00:09:21.36
continue to grow until
the day she hears the words
00:09:21.56\00:09:26.06
"Well done, thou good
and faithful servant. "
00:09:26.26\00:09:28.50
And we praise You and we
thank you in Jesus' name,
00:09:28.90\00:09:31.33
Amen. Amen.
Thank you, Mollie Sue.
00:09:31.53\00:09:34.14
Thank you so much. God bless!
00:09:34.30\00:09:36.20
Once again, thank you
for joining us at Spring 2018
00:09:36.40\00:09:39.87
Camp Meeting: Present Truth.
00:09:40.08\00:09:41.88
This is going to
be by God's grace.
00:09:42.28\00:09:45.11
Each and every one of us should
not go home the way we came.
00:09:45.31\00:09:48.38
How many's open to the
Holy Spirit to do great
00:09:48.78\00:09:50.99
and mighty, marvelous
things in your life, right?
00:09:51.19\00:09:53.09
Every one of us should be
00:09:53.49\00:09:54.82
because we all want
to make heaven our home.
00:09:54.86\00:09:57.03
So what we're going to do now:
we're going to go into a little
00:09:57.23\00:09:58.66
bit of music, and we have
Bro. Tim Parton over here.
00:09:58.86\00:10:01.86
Tim, I think you're going to
be first. How many appreciate
00:10:02.06\00:10:03.97
Tim? You can let him know so.
00:10:04.17\00:10:06.17
Tim is one of the - and
I say this from my heart -
00:10:08.87\00:10:13.98
one of the greatest musicians
I've ever... and I've worked
00:10:15.04\00:10:17.45
with a lot of well-known
names over the years...
00:10:17.65\00:10:20.62
and still - even on this new
project - one of the greatest
00:10:20.82\00:10:23.89
musicians that I
have ever met in my life.
00:10:24.09\00:10:26.96
But not only that, one
of the greatest friends...
00:10:27.16\00:10:29.19
an incredible musician,
singer. God has gifted him.
00:10:29.39\00:10:34.36
There's an
anointing of the Holy Spirit
00:10:34.56\00:10:36.46
that goes along with him
when he sits down to minister.
00:10:36.67\00:10:39.97
So Tim, thank you
so much. I love you.
00:10:40.17\00:10:42.50
And he's general manager of
our new Praise Him! channel.
00:10:42.70\00:10:47.68
Amen! Thank you
Bro. Tim. God bless!
00:13:58.70\00:14:02.50
I'd like to introduce
for those who don't know...
00:14:03.07\00:14:05.07
probably most of
you know Aaron Wilburn.
00:14:05.27\00:14:07.01
Any of you know Aaron Wilburn?
00:14:07.21\00:14:08.54
Make him welcome
to 3ABN Camp Meeting.
00:14:08.74\00:14:10.95
And I could tell you about songs
like It's Beginning to Rain
00:14:12.48\00:14:16.92
that he co-wrote
with the Gaithers and
00:14:17.12\00:14:19.09
It Sounds Like Home To Me that's
on this brand-new project.
00:14:19.29\00:14:22.66
Aaron is... We've known
each other since the late 70's
00:14:22.86\00:14:26.26
or maybe 1980...
something like that.
00:14:26.46\00:14:28.76
He's been song writer
of the year many times.
00:14:28.96\00:14:30.87
He's written hundreds of songs.
00:14:31.03\00:14:32.77
Those you would
know the names of them.
00:14:32.97\00:14:34.90
Probably... I don't know
how many songs have been on the
00:14:35.30\00:14:38.34
"charts" as they call it,
but an incredible, incredible
00:14:38.54\00:14:41.94
song writer. But more
importantly, an incredible
00:14:42.14\00:14:44.25
friend and a
man who loves Jesus.
00:14:44.45\00:14:46.11
And our relationship has
been a great relationship
00:14:46.31\00:14:51.05
over the years. But
he stopped by tonight.
00:14:51.25\00:14:54.49
We asked him "Can you
stop? " He's actually traveling.
00:14:54.69\00:14:56.73
Since he wrote one of the songs
"It Sounds Like Home To Me"
00:14:57.13\00:14:59.89
from this project,
but I wanted he and Tim
00:15:00.10\00:15:02.80
to maybe do something.
Would you like to hear him sing
00:15:03.00\00:15:05.40
and minister to us
a little bit? Amen!
00:15:05.60\00:15:07.50
And so I got a call... Yvonne
and I... I don't know, it's been
00:15:07.70\00:15:10.71
a year or two ago
from Aaron and he says:
00:15:10.91\00:15:13.91
"I was just watching
Doug Batchelor on 3ABN
00:15:14.11\00:15:18.01
and in 30 minutes he
changed my whole perception
00:15:18.21\00:15:22.28
of what happens to you
when you die. " He said:
00:15:22.48\00:15:23.89
"I never knew that. "
00:15:24.09\00:15:25.42
And so that's been a
little bit of change for you.
00:15:25.45\00:15:28.06
It ruined my theology.
00:15:28.26\00:15:29.96
But it helped you
write some new songs!
00:15:33.13\00:15:35.36
Absolutely! They actually
are writing a brand new song.
00:15:35.56\00:15:37.90
What's it called?
Rest Well. Rest Well.
00:15:38.10\00:15:41.07
Now what's that tell you?
00:15:41.27\00:15:42.60
Nobody's up dancing, shouting.
You know, you're just resting
00:15:42.74\00:15:46.11
in the grave, but it's amazing.
00:15:46.51\00:15:48.74
And we're going to... After you
do the song you're going to do -
00:15:48.94\00:15:51.91
It's a new song you guys
have written, right? Um-hmm.
00:15:52.11\00:15:53.98
Could you just do maybe
a verse and chorus of...
00:15:54.18\00:15:56.22
The reason I'm asking
him to do a verse and chorus
00:15:56.42\00:15:58.82
I'm not sure you've got
the second verse written yet,
00:15:59.02\00:16:00.56
do you? We don't. We
just have to hum it right now.
00:16:00.76\00:16:03.39
Maybe you just want to do...
Maybe you just want to do that.
00:16:03.59\00:16:07.26
So tell us what you're
going to do here tonight.
00:16:07.46\00:16:09.16
This song is... You
know, we all have tough times
00:16:09.36\00:16:13.34
and usually we're not very
honest... at least not totally
00:16:14.34\00:16:18.37
honest with some of
the things we go through.
00:16:18.57\00:16:21.14
And when you're not
honest it leaves everybody else
00:16:21.34\00:16:24.81
thinking something's
wrong with them because they're
00:16:25.01\00:16:27.58
going through some
tough times. Um-hmm.
00:16:27.78\00:16:29.68
And this song was written
October the 7th last year.
00:16:30.32\00:16:34.26
And I'll be honest:
that night I suffered
00:16:34.66\00:16:37.53
probably the worst
betrayal of my life.
00:16:37.69\00:16:40.60
And I wrote this song that night
00:16:42.10\00:16:46.63
as I cried out to God.
00:16:46.84\00:16:50.27
And there's no other
way for me to say it except
00:16:51.41\00:16:54.71
I was just totally
dependent upon His strength
00:16:54.91\00:16:59.05
and on His hand.
00:16:59.88\00:17:01.65
And I wrote these
lyrics and then Tim Parton
00:17:02.02\00:17:05.42
has written one of the
most phenomenal melodies
00:17:05.62\00:17:10.13
that I've ever had someone
write to one of my lyrics.
00:17:10.53\00:17:15.26
And I pray that this
song will be a strength
00:17:15.66\00:17:18.93
and a help and a
hope to people who are
00:17:19.13\00:17:23.74
in desperate times going
through a desperate situation
00:17:24.14\00:17:28.31
and your strength is gone. Amen!
00:17:28.81\00:17:31.35
Right after this I want to
talk to you about a new project
00:17:31.75\00:17:34.22
we've been... It's your
idea but I think it's fabulous.
00:17:34.42\00:17:36.92
And I think our folks
at home and our viewers
00:17:37.12\00:17:39.05
will be happy to hear
about - OK - this new project
00:17:39.25\00:17:41.52
you want to
do... OK... thank you!
00:17:41.72\00:17:43.39
Frightened and lonely
00:17:54.37\00:17:57.07
I lie in the dark.
00:17:58.27\00:18:01.04
The silence so loud
00:18:02.68\00:18:05.81
with each beat of my heart.
00:18:06.21\00:18:08.62
Looking for hope
00:18:10.29\00:18:12.32
but there's no hope in view.
00:18:13.22\00:18:16.12
I feel like a child
00:18:17.66\00:18:20.26
crying to You:
00:18:21.93\00:18:26.30
Please carry me... I'm too weak
00:18:26.80\00:18:32.17
to stand.
00:18:32.67\00:18:34.98
I've carried this burden
00:18:35.94\00:18:38.88
as long as I can.
00:18:39.28\00:18:44.22
My strength is gone.
00:18:45.22\00:18:48.19
Father, I'm weak.
00:18:49.32\00:18:52.89
I can't go on.
00:18:53.66\00:18:58.00
Please... carry me.
00:18:59.30\00:19:03.87
The pain of the journey,
00:19:17.89\00:19:20.89
the unknown ahead,
00:19:21.29\00:19:24.86
but then there's the memory
00:19:25.39\00:19:28.93
of what You have said:
00:19:29.13\00:19:32.23
that You will be with me
00:19:32.93\00:19:36.44
when others are gone
00:19:36.64\00:19:39.74
and I won't have to travel
00:19:40.31\00:19:43.24
this road all alone!
00:19:43.65\00:19:49.05
Please carry me.
00:19:49.45\00:19:51.99
I'm too weak to stand.
00:19:52.19\00:19:55.56
I've carried this burden
00:19:56.96\00:20:00.60
as long as I can.
00:20:00.80\00:20:04.40
Lord, my strength is gone.
00:20:04.80\00:20:08.07
Father, I'm weak.
00:20:09.14\00:20:11.97
I can't go on...
00:20:12.81\00:20:17.81
Please... carry me.
00:20:18.85\00:20:24.79
Carry me!
00:20:27.89\00:20:32.19
Carry me!
00:20:34.16\00:20:39.17
Carry me!
00:20:40.80\00:20:46.78
Please carry me...
I'm too weak to stand.
00:20:47.18\00:20:53.11
I've carried this burden
00:20:53.98\00:20:57.42
as long as I can.
00:20:57.82\00:21:01.96
Lord, my strength is gone.
00:21:02.36\00:21:06.09
Father, I'm weak.
00:21:07.26\00:21:11.23
I can't go on.
00:21:11.53\00:21:16.64
I can't go on.
00:21:17.41\00:21:20.01
I can't go on...
00:21:20.21\00:21:23.51
please... carry me.
00:21:25.18\00:21:30.62
Amen... beautiful!
00:21:40.80\00:21:43.13
Beautiful! Aaron,
let's talk for just a moment
00:21:43.53\00:21:46.37
about... talk
about a new project.
00:21:46.57\00:21:48.97
First of all, those of you...
If you ever turn to YouTube,
00:21:49.17\00:21:51.87
Aaron has some... I'll say
songs... and he has some of
00:21:52.27\00:21:55.84
his... He does... have you ever
heard of like "gospel comedy? "
00:21:56.04\00:21:59.25
What it is is just
good clean fun, right?
00:21:59.65\00:22:01.48
And in fact, I heard you were
just... I didn't know there was
00:22:01.68\00:22:04.19
a category like this...
but you're gospel comedian
00:22:04.39\00:22:06.55
of the year. I thought I
was but they said you were.
00:22:06.76\00:22:09.02
You weren't there this time.
00:22:09.22\00:22:10.56
Not on purpose on my
part... just out of ignorance.
00:22:10.69\00:22:12.69
But you really try to be that
and you did... What was that?
00:22:14.63\00:22:17.53
Tell us what happened. Voice
Magazine, a gospel magazine,
00:22:17.73\00:22:22.14
in their awards this year
I was comedian of the year
00:22:22.34\00:22:26.84
because you weren't there.
00:22:27.04\00:22:28.74
Yeah. Yeah... he
called me and we were talking
00:22:28.94\00:22:32.41
and Yvonne said: "Aaron
was comedian of the year. "
00:22:32.61\00:22:34.68
I said: "Well who said? "
00:22:34.88\00:22:36.22
She said: "Well I don't know. "
00:22:36.25\00:22:37.72
I said: "Well how did
they know? I wasn't there. "
00:22:37.92\00:22:39.55
You know, so...
No, I'm just kidding.
00:22:39.75\00:22:41.56
If I'm that way, it's
just out of ignorance.
00:22:42.16\00:22:44.49
He plans it. But
Aaron, if you turn on,
00:22:44.69\00:22:47.23
go into YouTube he's got songs
like... I guess we can talk
00:22:47.43\00:22:50.40
about this tonight. If
my nose was running money,
00:22:50.60\00:22:53.54
I'd blow it all on you.
00:22:53.74\00:22:55.07
Now, it's got like 11
million hits on YouTube.
00:22:55.10\00:22:58.27
This guy is serious. When
you go and you've gotta look up
00:22:58.47\00:23:01.08
some of the stuff that he does.
00:23:01.28\00:23:03.04
But what he does is so amazing
00:23:03.24\00:23:05.91
that I said: "How can
this work into 3ABN? "
00:23:06.11\00:23:08.28
Aaron, tell them about the
idea of ministering to those
00:23:08.78\00:23:12.82
that really maybe don't have
good prognosis for the future.
00:23:13.02\00:23:17.56
You know, a lot of us
wake up to wonderful days
00:23:17.76\00:23:22.63
and a lot of people don't
wake up to wonderful days.
00:23:23.03\00:23:25.70
And I was sharing with Danny
some of the songs that I just
00:23:26.37\00:23:30.54
recorded on my last
project and the fact that
00:23:30.74\00:23:34.31
I had been sending some
of them out to hospitals
00:23:35.14\00:23:40.25
and to different groups
where people are terminally ill
00:23:40.45\00:23:43.85
and in depression and a
lot of situations like that.
00:23:44.25\00:23:48.52
And Danny said:
"Wow! I've never thought
00:23:49.39\00:23:52.33
of that kind of
ministry to our audience. "
00:23:52.73\00:23:56.93
And we began talking about it
and so one thing led to another
00:23:57.83\00:24:03.24
and now we are in the talking
stages of planning a project
00:24:03.44\00:24:08.18
that will be
sent out through 3ABN
00:24:08.38\00:24:13.48
for everyone to have
a copy - a free copy -
00:24:14.48\00:24:18.62
of a CD that
will make them laugh,
00:24:19.02\00:24:22.69
will brighten their day.
If they're in depression,
00:24:22.89\00:24:25.36
if they have a prognosis
that is not a good one,
00:24:25.86\00:24:31.77
and just people
that need to smile again
00:24:31.97\00:24:34.77
and a ministry of laughter.
00:24:34.97\00:24:37.71
And laughter is no accident.
It's not something we invented.
00:24:38.21\00:24:41.31
God gave laughter!
00:24:41.51\00:24:43.91
And Danny said: "I've never
thought of it as an instrument
00:24:44.71\00:24:48.88
of ministry. " And
so that began the talk.
00:24:49.08\00:24:53.32
I said: "It has to be
good because I recently had my
00:24:54.16\00:24:57.13
gall bladder taken out and
this was a few weeks before.
00:24:57.33\00:24:59.69
He came to Marion
to one of the churches
00:24:59.89\00:25:02.80
and invited us over, and I for-
got I had gall bladder problems.
00:25:03.00\00:25:06.37
I was laughing so
loud for about an hour
00:25:06.57\00:25:09.07
then after I left I'm
like: "Oh... I'm hurting! "
00:25:09.27\00:25:11.54
So I said: "You know
what? This is a great ministry!
00:25:11.74\00:25:14.04
It helps you to forget
about your pain for a bit. "
00:25:14.24\00:25:16.51
But it really is. St.
Jude's Hospital for instance.
00:25:16.71\00:25:19.25
Every patient, we should give
every child one of these free.
00:25:19.45\00:25:22.58
And with your
help we would do that
00:25:22.78\00:25:24.45
and it will also
introduce them to Jesus.
00:25:24.65\00:25:26.39
While we're going to have a lot
of fun, it's not telling jokes.
00:25:26.59\00:25:29.22
He's telling real life stories
and things that are just funny
00:25:29.42\00:25:32.29
that happen to us every day.
00:25:32.49\00:25:34.20
But for children
to encourage them.
00:25:34.40\00:25:35.90
For adults, to encourage them
00:25:36.10\00:25:38.23
but also represent Jesus
00:25:38.43\00:25:40.77
and package Jesus
into this whole thing
00:25:40.97\00:25:42.90
because He's the One who
allows us... allows us to laugh
00:25:43.10\00:25:46.04
and to be happy. So
how many would like to see
00:25:46.24\00:25:48.71
this project go through?
All right, take their names down
00:25:48.91\00:25:51.78
because we're going to
ask them to send some money
00:25:51.98\00:25:53.82
and help with
this. OK... we got you.
00:25:54.02\00:25:56.28
Those of you at home if
you're impressed to do so
00:25:56.48\00:25:58.95
say: "We want to
help this project. "
00:25:59.15\00:26:00.89
And we would like to
do it. It'd be from 3ABN
00:26:01.09\00:26:03.46
to terminally
ill people everywhere
00:26:03.86\00:26:07.10
would get 'em
free... there's no charge.
00:26:07.30\00:26:08.90
We want you to have
this and let them enjoy life
00:26:09.10\00:26:12.43
and to find some happiness
in their life and find Jesus
00:26:12.63\00:26:15.80
for those that don't
already have Him. Um-hmm.
00:26:16.00\00:26:17.67
OK. Rest Well... tell
us about what it's about.
00:26:17.87\00:26:21.28
and then sing what you've got
written. I was listening to John
00:26:21.48\00:26:24.78
and it had always troubled
me that you can walk through
00:26:25.18\00:26:30.39
a cemetery and one
headstone says "With Jesus"
00:26:30.59\00:26:34.12
another one says:
"Singing With Angels. "
00:26:34.32\00:26:36.09
And another one says:
"Asleep Till Jesus Comes. "
00:26:36.29\00:26:39.93
How can you do all that at once?
00:26:40.33\00:26:43.47
While you're
dead! While you're dead.
00:26:44.17\00:26:45.93
But John in 30 minutes
explained it, and I sat there
00:26:47.00\00:26:52.01
and thought:
"Wow! Truth is simple. "
00:26:52.21\00:26:56.11
Amen! Um-hmm... there you go!
00:26:56.31\00:26:59.51
Anyway, there was... I had a
different way of looking at it.
00:27:00.02\00:27:05.99
And because of that, not
long ago when a friend of mine
00:27:06.76\00:27:11.56
passed away I thought:
"I want to write a song
00:27:11.76\00:27:17.37
that conveys this
mindset... this truth...
00:27:17.57\00:27:23.07
this knowledge. " And so
why don't you tell quickly
00:27:23.27\00:27:28.51
the verse and then
we'll sing the chorus.
00:27:28.71\00:27:31.05
Can we do that?
00:27:31.25\00:27:32.58
It broke my
heart to get the news
00:27:32.65\00:27:34.72
your road of
life came to an end.
00:27:35.98\00:27:39.09
I guess we all have
things we'd love to say
00:27:39.85\00:27:42.52
and this is what I'll say:
00:27:43.53\00:27:45.29
"Until I see you again
00:27:45.76\00:27:50.00
rest well. "
00:27:50.47\00:27:53.74
"Your burden has been heavy;
00:27:54.37\00:27:57.41
rest well. "
00:27:57.81\00:27:59.64
"Your journey has been long
00:28:01.51\00:28:04.55
and you've been smiling lately
when you spoke of going home. "
00:28:04.95\00:28:10.89
"I'm here to say
my last good-bye.
00:28:12.85\00:28:16.22
Though there
are tears in my eyes
00:28:16.62\00:28:20.10
until our Lord
commands you 'Rise! '
00:28:20.30\00:28:25.63
rest well. "
00:28:26.30\00:28:29.37
All right! Amen!
00:28:29.57\00:28:32.67
Thank you so much.
Aaron Wilburn. All right!
00:28:32.87\00:28:36.44
Aaron really is one of the
funniest and one of the nicest
00:28:42.25\00:28:46.19
people - one of
the smartest people -
00:28:46.39\00:28:48.02
I've ever met. Absolutely
brilliant in what he does.
00:28:48.22\00:28:51.29
But he's a master at
taking real-life situations
00:28:51.49\00:28:54.93
and having fun with it.
Things that happen to him
00:28:55.13\00:28:58.43
when he travels and
things. He has a song called
00:28:58.63\00:29:01.27
Saturday. What is it?
Wal-Mart? Where'd he go?
00:29:01.47\00:29:04.34
Saturday night at Wal-Mart.
00:29:04.74\00:29:07.01
And he describes when he
went in there at midnight
00:29:07.41\00:29:09.38
all the different
kinds of people that come in
00:29:09.58\00:29:11.51
at Wal-Mart on Saturday night.
Any of you ever heard that?
00:29:11.71\00:29:14.05
Some of you have. You
go to YouTube and you'll
00:29:14.25\00:29:16.38
hear some and just
type in Aaron Wilburn
00:29:16.58\00:29:18.75
and you'll be laughing for
hours. So don't overdose on it.
00:29:18.95\00:29:21.62
We don't want
you to laugh to death
00:29:21.82\00:29:23.49
but we want you to have fun.
00:29:23.69\00:29:25.69
Now it's a great great
privilege to introduce Ryan Day.
00:29:26.09\00:29:30.07
And come up here, Ryan.
00:29:30.27\00:29:31.83
He's a little short guy. Yep!
00:29:32.23\00:29:34.20
And Ryan is an amazing story
00:29:34.40\00:29:38.44
for him to be... And this
week you and your wife Stephanie
00:29:38.74\00:29:42.88
started full time
with 3ABN. That's right!
00:29:43.08\00:29:45.61
And so you've been doing
what the last several years?
00:29:46.01\00:29:48.38
The last five years I've
been traveling doing evangelism
00:29:48.58\00:29:51.42
for Amazing Facts Ministry.
00:29:51.82\00:29:53.59
All right... praise the Lord!
00:29:53.99\00:29:55.39
Your journey... You
were United Pentecostal
00:29:55.59\00:29:58.06
and your journey
through becoming an Adventist
00:29:58.46\00:30:01.90
was an interesting
one. It was! And so I guess
00:30:02.10\00:30:05.83
someone in your
family ended up becoming one
00:30:06.03\00:30:08.07
and then your
dad began to study.
00:30:08.27\00:30:10.37
And then you
said you read a book.
00:30:10.57\00:30:12.17
That's right. I had a
gentleman come in to our little
00:30:12.57\00:30:15.48
non-denominational Sabbath-
keeping church at the time
00:30:15.68\00:30:17.85
because we were
convinced of the Sabbath but
00:30:18.05\00:30:19.88
didn't know all the other truth.
00:30:20.08\00:30:21.42
Guy walks in with
a big stack of books
00:30:21.58\00:30:23.59
and one of them stuck out.
00:30:23.79\00:30:25.12
It said: Ten
Commandments Twice Removed.
00:30:25.15\00:30:27.29
All right! Danny
Shelton and Shelley Quinn.
00:30:27.49\00:30:29.46
Um-hmm. And I read that book and
it's been incredible ever since.
00:30:29.66\00:30:33.26
Wow!
Absolutely! What happened is
00:30:33.46\00:30:35.10
Reggie and Ladye Love Smith,
they're not able to be with us.
00:30:35.30\00:30:38.13
For the first time in a
long time they're on a cruise.
00:30:38.33\00:30:40.60
Now can you imagine
taking a cruise to Europe
00:30:40.80\00:30:42.70
rather than be here at
Camp Meeting? That's amazing!
00:30:42.90\00:30:45.14
So if they're watching from over
there 'cause they're traveling
00:30:45.54\00:30:48.11
right now,
Reggie and Ladye Love,
00:30:48.31\00:30:49.84
but we had planned
on... We're doing this and
00:30:50.05\00:30:52.98
of course Reggie's got
such an incredible tenor voice
00:30:53.18\00:30:55.52
and Ladye Love's
got a powerful voice
00:30:55.72\00:30:58.52
and we found out that their
schedule... There was a conflict
00:30:58.72\00:31:01.29
they couldn't come
and that really shook us.
00:31:01.49\00:31:03.69
We said: "Man, we've
got new songs being written;
00:31:03.89\00:31:05.93
what are we going
to do for a singer? "
00:31:06.13\00:31:08.26
Well Tim Parton said to
me: "There's someone coming
00:31:08.46\00:31:12.03
to the studio.
He talked to Jill.
00:31:12.23\00:31:14.24
He's never recorded an album
00:31:14.44\00:31:16.40
but he's a singer and wanted
to come to look at our studio
00:31:16.60\00:31:19.87
and see about recording. "
00:31:20.08\00:31:21.41
That was Ryan Day. So
after Ryan left I called Tim.
00:31:21.44\00:31:24.91
I don't know if any of
you ever hear of David Phelps
00:31:25.11\00:31:27.38
with the Gaithers?
00:31:27.58\00:31:28.92
Great tenor singer, right?
One of the greatest in America.
00:31:28.95\00:31:30.99
So after he left I
said to Tim... I said:
00:31:31.19\00:31:35.72
"Can Ryan sing? " And he said:
"Yeah he sings; he sings well. "
00:31:36.12\00:31:40.53
I said: "Oh, good! " I
said: "How? Tell me a little bit
00:31:40.73\00:31:44.97
so we'll know. " He
said: "You know David Phelps? "
00:31:45.17\00:31:47.94
I said: "Yeah. " He said:
"Well he's in that category. "
00:31:48.34\00:31:50.81
And I said: "What?
00:31:51.21\00:31:52.54
An Adventist with Amazing Facts
an evangelist, and he could
00:31:53.48\00:31:57.48
be in that range? " So I
said: "You're kidding, right? "
00:31:57.68\00:31:59.88
He said: "No...
I'm not kidding. "
00:32:00.08\00:32:01.42
He said: "This guy has one
of the most incredible voices
00:32:01.52\00:32:03.72
I've ever heard. " And so
we went down to the studio
00:32:03.92\00:32:06.45
to record some of these songs
00:32:06.65\00:32:08.06
specifically written with you
in mind with David Huntsinger's
00:32:08.26\00:32:11.69
brand new "And
They Sang A New Song"
00:32:11.89\00:32:13.56
and the back-up singers and
many of those with the Gaithers
00:32:13.96\00:32:16.80
and others were
there. As soon as he starts
00:32:17.00\00:32:18.90
they said: "Who is this? "
00:32:19.10\00:32:20.44
Melody was singing in the
choir with them. She said:
00:32:20.54\00:32:22.84
"Ryan Day. " And they
said: "Yeah, but WHO is this? "
00:32:23.04\00:32:25.41
"Ryan Day. " They said: "Why
have we never heard of him? "
00:32:25.81\00:32:28.64
And so we said:
"Well you will now. "
00:32:28.84\00:32:30.78
So it's a great privilege
and honor that we get to
00:32:30.98\00:32:33.31
introduce you, and then
Friday night on the concert
00:32:33.52\00:32:36.12
Ryan is going to be singing.
00:32:36.32\00:32:38.02
Doing a duet of More
Than Wonderful with Yvonne.
00:32:38.22\00:32:41.22
Um-hmm. And so the
whole project is amazing.
00:32:41.42\00:32:43.59
So Ryan, we're so
thankful that you and your wife
00:32:43.79\00:32:46.09
Stephanie are here. And
Ryan's going to be working
00:32:46.29\00:32:48.60
with Tim Parton on the
music channel as well as doing
00:32:48.80\00:32:51.27
programs, preaching on 3ABN.
00:32:51.47\00:32:54.10
The Fjarli's are here. They
said you were out in their area
00:32:54.30\00:32:56.64
and the people loved
the evangelistic series.
00:32:56.84\00:32:58.74
So we've got a new
preacher and a new singer.
00:32:58.94\00:33:01.08
Make him welcome, all right?
00:33:01.28\00:33:02.91
When peace like
00:33:20.33\00:33:24.57
a river
00:33:24.97\00:33:28.14
attendeth
00:33:28.67\00:33:31.77
my way,
00:33:32.17\00:33:35.14
when sorrows like
00:33:35.54\00:33:39.35
sea billows
00:33:39.65\00:33:43.42
roll...
00:33:43.62\00:33:47.89
whatever my lot
00:33:48.42\00:33:54.03
Thou hast taught me
00:33:54.76\00:34:00.10
to say:
00:34:00.30\00:34:02.44
"It is well...
00:34:02.84\00:34:06.27
it is well
00:34:06.68\00:34:10.81
with my soul. "
00:34:11.11\00:34:17.02
It is well
00:34:19.25\00:34:24.49
with my soul.
00:34:25.79\00:34:31.80
It is well...
00:34:32.73\00:34:36.17
it is well
00:34:36.57\00:34:40.98
with
00:34:41.18\00:34:42.74
my soul.
00:34:43.04\00:34:48.48
Oh, and Lord haste
00:34:55.22\00:35:00.13
the day
00:35:00.33\00:35:03.00
when my faith shall be sight!
00:35:04.03\00:35:09.97
The clouds be rolled back
00:35:10.37\00:35:16.21
as a scroll!
00:35:16.41\00:35:22.35
The trumpet shall sound
00:35:23.32\00:35:29.02
and the Lord shall descend...
00:35:29.22\00:35:35.13
but even so
00:35:35.86\00:35:38.57
it is well
00:35:39.20\00:35:42.90
with my soul.
00:35:43.10\00:35:49.01
It is well
00:35:54.45\00:35:59.02
with my soul.
00:36:02.26\00:36:06.19
It is well...
00:36:06.39\00:36:09.73
it is well
00:36:09.93\00:36:13.44
with my soul...
00:36:13.64\00:36:19.17
It is well...
00:36:19.37\00:36:22.28
it is well
00:36:22.48\00:36:28.42
with my
00:36:29.58\00:36:33.86
soul!
00:36:34.06\00:36:38.56
Amen.
00:36:47.04\00:36:48.57
Amen! Thank you Ryan.
00:36:49.27\00:36:51.81
Beautiful! We were
in the studio and...
00:36:53.98\00:36:56.51
and he was singing a song
that for those of you that know
00:36:56.71\00:36:59.78
a little bit about tenor
singers and it was an E flat.
00:36:59.98\00:37:02.68
He went from a
low... high E flat
00:37:02.88\00:37:05.85
and I said:
"Wow! That is amazing
00:37:06.05\00:37:07.52
that kind of
range. " So I heard Tim
00:37:07.72\00:37:09.32
had him in the piano
booth back there, and I kept
00:37:09.52\00:37:11.86
hearing him go
higher and higher and higher
00:37:12.06\00:37:13.90
and I said: "Well, he doesn't
need to go higher than that. "
00:37:14.10\00:37:16.06
I said: "Tim, what
did you have him doing? "
00:37:16.26\00:37:18.13
He said: "I had him at
D flat above middle C. "
00:37:18.33\00:37:20.54
I said: "Why? " He said:
"I just wanted to see how high
00:37:20.74\00:37:22.97
he could go! " He said: "He
doesn't seem to have a range...
00:37:23.17\00:37:26.34
no end to his range. "
00:37:26.54\00:37:28.31
So we still
don't know what it is,
00:37:28.51\00:37:29.84
but for a male to be able to do
it with such a beautiful voice
00:37:29.98\00:37:33.18
but mainly you
notice he has an anointing
00:37:33.38\00:37:35.28
and that's what's so amazing.
00:37:35.48\00:37:37.25
So we're so thankful
that Ryan accepted...
00:37:37.45\00:37:40.69
he's already a
Christian but accepted the truth
00:37:40.89\00:37:43.12
and is now here at 3ABN.
00:37:43.32\00:37:46.36
And we're so thankful for
he and his wife Stephanie also.
00:37:46.56\00:37:48.90
Now it's my privilege to
bring out Pastor John Lomacang.
00:37:49.10\00:37:52.07
And Pastor John has written
a brand-new book for 3ABN:
00:37:52.47\00:37:58.27
The Three Angels'
Messages In Summary.
00:37:58.47\00:38:00.98
And just take a minute and
tell us a little bit about it -
00:38:01.18\00:38:03.55
sure - and the need for it.
And it's going to go along with
00:38:03.75\00:38:06.21
the brand-new CD
of Give Him Glory!
00:38:06.41\00:38:08.95
Thank you Danny.
00:38:09.15\00:38:10.49
You know, friends,
oftentimes we hear about
00:38:10.85\00:38:12.69
the three angels' messages
00:38:12.89\00:38:14.36
but more times than not
as we travel we hear people
00:38:15.09\00:38:20.16
say: "Whatever
happened to our message? "
00:38:20.36\00:38:21.96
"Whatever happened to the mes-
sage that God has given to us?
00:38:23.06\00:38:25.73
It's such a unique
message. It doesn't need to be
00:38:25.93\00:38:28.77
deleted or
modified or changed. "
00:38:28.97\00:38:30.77
And so what I've done...
And Danny asked me a few months
00:38:30.97\00:38:33.74
ago and I thought...
That was actually before we
00:38:33.94\00:38:36.21
even knew that we were going
to have a three angels' messages
00:38:36.41\00:38:38.85
Camp Meeting.
00:38:39.05\00:38:40.38
And there were so many
challenges in writing this book.
00:38:40.72\00:38:45.12
As a matter of fact, the
day that I announced to my wife
00:38:45.32\00:38:48.49
that I'm almost done
is when I broke my finger.
00:38:48.69\00:38:50.99
The devil tried everything
he could to stop this book
00:38:52.09\00:38:54.93
from being finished. And
then we went to New Guinea.
00:38:55.13\00:38:57.13
And I see that going to New
Guinea was an actual blessing
00:38:57.53\00:39:00.67
because the Lord took us
and isolated us away from
00:39:01.07\00:39:03.77
everything that
would distract us.
00:39:03.97\00:39:06.07
And I used my headset and
I spoke in the last few words
00:39:06.68\00:39:09.51
as it audibly typed...
it typed as I spoke them in.
00:39:09.71\00:39:13.98
But it's designed
to reach the person who
00:39:14.38\00:39:17.45
may want to re-familiarize
themself with the message
00:39:17.65\00:39:20.26
OR the person who
never heard it before.
00:39:20.46\00:39:23.66
But I want to tell
you it's 45, 46 pages
00:39:24.46\00:39:27.50
but don't let the size
fool you. It's like one of those
00:39:27.66\00:39:30.70
pills you get when you go to the
doctor that's really really tiny
00:39:30.90\00:39:34.07
and he says: "Don't make
a mistake and take two. "
00:39:35.30\00:39:37.64
Well, this book is not
for the faint of heart.
00:39:38.64\00:39:40.98
But we're not living in
an hour where we can modify
00:39:41.94\00:39:45.15
or dilute God's Word.
Can you say amen to that?
00:39:45.35\00:39:47.25
Amen! So if you want to
really share with friends
00:39:47.45\00:39:50.79
and people that have
not heard the message,
00:39:50.99\00:39:54.66
it's even designed to reach
your contemporary audience.
00:39:54.86\00:39:57.33
I intentionally didn't
put angels on the cover
00:39:57.73\00:39:59.93
because people that are not
Christians won't even understand
00:40:00.33\00:40:03.40
what that means.
And so, if you travel
00:40:03.60\00:40:07.07
carry a bunch with you.
They are available here tonight.
00:40:07.27\00:40:09.10
You can buy them in bulk also.
00:40:09.30\00:40:10.74
But we want the message
- this closing message -
00:40:10.94\00:40:13.88
to be shared to the
world. People need to know it.
00:40:14.08\00:40:16.85
And if it is the period at the
end of the 6,000 year sentence
00:40:17.35\00:40:20.42
what a time and what a
message. Amen somebody?
00:40:20.62\00:40:24.45
Amen! So tonight
along with that Danny has
00:40:24.65\00:40:27.39
agreed if you get a CD
you get one of those for free.
00:40:27.59\00:40:29.72
But then they are
available also out in the foyer.
00:40:29.92\00:40:31.59
And all I want is for
the Lord to be praised
00:40:32.09\00:40:33.90
through that, for
people to be in the kingdom
00:40:34.10\00:40:35.83
because of this message
that belongs to the Lord...
00:40:36.03\00:40:38.70
I'm just the messenger.
00:40:38.90\00:40:40.84
But tonight I'm going
to sing a song entitled
00:40:41.60\00:40:43.34
"There Is A River. "
00:40:43.54\00:40:44.87
You know, there's a river
that continues to cleanse us
00:40:45.14\00:40:47.61
from all the defilement of sin.
00:40:47.81\00:40:49.74
And tonight no matter where you
may be in your walk with Christ
00:40:49.94\00:40:52.78
if you need to be
re-acquainted with Jesus
00:40:52.98\00:40:55.78
to know that that
river is still flowing today
00:40:55.98\00:40:57.95
tonight there is a river.
00:40:58.15\00:41:00.79
There
00:41:14.17\00:41:16.81
is a river
00:41:17.21\00:41:22.21
and it flows from deep
00:41:23.75\00:41:28.88
within.
00:41:29.28\00:41:32.42
There is
00:41:34.22\00:41:38.93
the fountain
00:41:39.13\00:41:42.96
and it frees a soul
00:41:43.87\00:41:48.34
from sin.
00:41:49.17\00:41:52.54
Come to
00:41:54.24\00:41:58.85
this water...
00:41:59.05\00:42:02.75
there is a vast
00:42:03.99\00:42:08.86
supply!
00:42:09.46\00:42:12.86
There is
00:42:14.33\00:42:19.33
a river
00:42:19.53\00:42:22.50
that never shall
00:42:24.04\00:42:28.81
run dry.
00:42:29.01\00:42:32.38
There was
00:42:34.45\00:42:37.19
a thirsty woman...
00:42:37.39\00:42:42.46
she was drawing from
00:42:44.33\00:42:48.60
the well.
00:42:49.20\00:42:53.00
You see, her life
00:42:53.94\00:42:56.91
was bruised and broken
00:42:57.27\00:43:02.48
and her soul was bound
00:43:03.78\00:43:08.82
for hell.
00:43:09.52\00:43:12.25
Oh, but then
00:43:13.12\00:43:16.83
she met the Master
00:43:17.33\00:43:23.00
and He told her of
00:43:23.83\00:43:29.20
her sin.
00:43:29.60\00:43:32.67
He said: "If you drink
00:43:32.87\00:43:37.41
from this water,
00:43:37.61\00:43:42.88
you'll never thirst
00:43:44.32\00:43:49.42
again! "
00:43:49.62\00:43:52.39
Oh, there...
00:43:52.59\00:43:56.97
there is a river
00:43:57.63\00:44:03.41
and it flows
00:44:04.01\00:44:06.71
from deep within.
00:44:07.11\00:44:12.61
Yes, there is
00:44:14.18\00:44:19.15
a fountain
00:44:19.35\00:44:22.96
and it frees a soul
00:44:23.73\00:44:28.73
from sin.
00:44:29.53\00:44:32.50
So come
00:44:34.14\00:44:36.81
to this water...
00:44:37.21\00:44:42.94
there is a vast
00:44:43.61\00:44:49.15
supply!
00:44:49.65\00:44:53.92
Yes, there is
00:44:54.42\00:44:59.46
a river
00:44:59.66\00:45:03.13
and it never
00:45:03.87\00:45:07.70
shall
00:45:08.10\00:45:10.34
run dry.
00:45:10.54\00:45:16.51
Hallelujah! Thank you Pastor.
00:45:18.58\00:45:21.28
Thank you Pastor John.
00:45:24.19\00:45:25.65
I'd like to bring out -
shouldn't say introduce -
00:45:25.85\00:45:28.52
I'm sure you know John
and Rosemary Malkiewycz
00:45:28.72\00:45:30.86
all the way from Down
Under. Yes! That's right!
00:45:31.06\00:45:33.16
And they're so
happy about it, too.
00:45:33.36\00:45:35.46
Can you imagine? They
could be living in a place
00:45:35.66\00:45:37.57
like southern Illinois
and they like Australia.
00:45:37.77\00:45:39.73
I mean, that's
just amazing to me.
00:45:39.93\00:45:41.77
I've gotta do this for
Jason and any Australians:
00:45:41.97\00:45:44.87
Aussie, Aussie, Aussie!
00:45:45.07\00:45:46.41
Thank you. OK. We're
so glad that you're here.
00:45:46.98\00:45:49.88
3ABN Australia has
been what? Fifteen years?
00:45:50.08\00:45:54.02
Fifteen years.
Isn't that amazing?
00:45:54.22\00:45:56.08
So we don't have a lot of
time so I'm going to back away
00:45:56.28\00:45:58.62
and let you bring us an update.
00:45:58.82\00:46:00.29
We've got so much to
cover and then we want Rosemary
00:46:00.49\00:46:02.52
to sing for us if there's time.
00:46:02.72\00:46:04.13
OK. You know, it's 15
years as we just mentioned
00:46:04.33\00:46:08.23
since 3ABN Australia,
but it all began when we were
00:46:08.43\00:46:10.97
missionaries overseas.
00:46:11.17\00:46:12.50
We had a desire
after we saw 3ABN
00:46:12.63\00:46:15.67
for the very
first time in Thailand
00:46:15.87\00:46:17.91
that we thought this
would be good in Australia.
00:46:18.11\00:46:20.54
So we came back to Australia
00:46:20.94\00:46:22.61
and one intention only: to
have 3ABN - the three angels'
00:46:22.81\00:46:27.28
messages - go across Australia.
00:46:27.48\00:46:29.78
And we have watched
over the 15 years how God has
00:46:29.98\00:46:32.75
led and directed 3ABN
Australia starting with nothing,
00:46:32.95\00:46:36.86
just with a little green
"Kermit" four-wheel drive
00:46:37.06\00:46:40.43
with dishes on top.
We've done 3 trips around
00:46:40.63\00:46:44.07
Australia putting
in satellite dishes.
00:46:44.27\00:46:46.13
And Danny, I cannot
remember how many thousand
00:46:46.33\00:46:48.54
dishes I've put in personally.
00:46:48.74\00:46:50.11
And even last week I
was putting in dishes
00:46:50.31\00:46:53.41
for people in
service for the Lord.
00:46:53.61\00:46:55.71
I think it's a
terrific way to witness.
00:46:55.91\00:46:58.38
And I encourage any of
you who want to do that
00:46:58.58\00:47:00.72
to get in there and do it
'cause people need to know about
00:47:00.92\00:47:03.08
Jesus' return. I must say
life was a lot less complicated
00:47:03.28\00:47:06.76
then. Yes! When just
putting in satellite dishes.
00:47:06.96\00:47:09.32
Now... now we have
our production center.
00:47:11.53\00:47:14.10
We have had that
building... we opened it
00:47:14.30\00:47:17.07
in... officially in 2013.
00:47:17.27\00:47:19.77
We moved into it in 2012
00:47:20.37\00:47:22.47
and now we make programs for
3ABN's international channel.
00:47:22.67\00:47:26.98
Um-hmm. And it's really great
00:47:27.18\00:47:30.35
to see the programs go
out and have people contact us
00:47:30.55\00:47:33.65
and say how much they love it.
00:47:33.85\00:47:35.18
BUT we have
something even more exciting.
00:47:35.62\00:47:38.75
Danny, in October
from the 11th to the 14th
00:47:38.95\00:47:44.16
we are going to
have you and Yvonne,
00:47:44.56\00:47:47.16
Greg and Jill,
00:47:47.56\00:47:49.30
John and Angie and Tim Parton
00:47:49.70\00:47:52.50
in Avondale Memorial Church
00:47:52.70\00:47:55.10
in Cooranbong, New South Wales,
00:47:55.30\00:47:57.34
from Thursday
night to Sunday lunch
00:47:57.54\00:48:01.61
for a marathon spiritual feast.
00:48:01.81\00:48:05.48
What date is it? 11th
of October to the 14th.
00:48:05.68\00:48:08.98
OK. Wonderful. I'm
happy to... let's go!
00:48:09.38\00:48:11.59
Let's do it! And
the following weekend
00:48:11.79\00:48:14.02
the 19th and 20th of October
where are we going to be?
00:48:14.82\00:48:17.53
In Tasmania! Tasmanians
know when you pronounce
00:48:17.93\00:48:21.73
a town the right
way. It's spelt Launceston
00:48:21.93\00:48:25.30
but it's
actually said Longceston.
00:48:25.50\00:48:27.30
I've been coaching him.
00:48:27.50\00:48:29.67
So we'll be going
there for a rally.
00:48:30.67\00:48:33.31
You know, the whole
intent when 3ABN travels
00:48:33.51\00:48:36.71
is to be a blessing to people.
To help them to know the truth
00:48:36.91\00:48:40.98
and to know particularly
truth for these times.
00:48:41.18\00:48:43.55
You know, Danny, I was thinking
about the 3 angels' messages.
00:48:43.75\00:48:47.26
John wrote a book, a summary.
00:48:47.46\00:48:50.53
We just heard the other
day something I'd like to share
00:48:50.73\00:48:52.69
with you: a
summary of a summary.
00:48:52.89\00:48:54.46
And the first angel's
message is: God's truth;
00:48:54.86\00:48:58.70
the second angel's
message is: Satan's lies;
00:48:58.90\00:49:02.20
and the third
one is: you choose.
00:49:02.60\00:49:05.11
And that's really...
I like... That's great.
00:49:05.31\00:49:08.34
That explains it very well.
00:49:08.74\00:49:10.88
It... yes... Just recently
00:49:11.08\00:49:14.25
just over 12 months,
no, not quite 12 months ago,
00:49:14.45\00:49:16.79
we went onto a platform
- a government platform -
00:49:16.99\00:49:19.42
where you can see all
the commercial channels
00:49:19.62\00:49:21.92
across Australia. Now
it's a dream for Christian
00:49:22.12\00:49:25.59
organizations to be
able to be on there.
00:49:25.79\00:49:29.33
And I want to tell you
it was a miracle of God
00:49:29.53\00:49:31.70
because we are
on there right now
00:49:31.90\00:49:34.34
across the whole of Australia.
The only Christian channel
00:49:34.54\00:49:38.01
and it's being
received in an incredible way.
00:49:38.21\00:49:41.31
I could spend the next
hour telling you about it,
00:49:41.51\00:49:43.98
but I'm not allowed
to... I'm watching the clock.
00:49:44.18\00:49:45.75
You know, it's very interesting.
When we first started out
00:49:46.25\00:49:49.25
we wanted our church members
to have the privilege of seeing
00:49:49.45\00:49:51.99
3ABN, but then last
year when we came across
00:49:52.19\00:49:55.82
a difficult
time we prayed to God
00:49:56.02\00:49:58.26
and said: "You know God,
how can we reach more people? "
00:49:58.46\00:50:01.66
And it's very interesting
because God answers prayer
00:50:02.43\00:50:05.77
sometimes in a delayed response
00:50:05.97\00:50:08.90
but sometimes He
responds very quickly.
00:50:09.10\00:50:12.27
And I just want to tell
you that God opened a way
00:50:12.67\00:50:15.41
for us to be on that network
00:50:15.61\00:50:17.15
and it was an answer to prayer.
00:50:17.55\00:50:19.05
I didn't have to go
to a committee meeting.
00:50:19.25\00:50:21.05
I didn't have to
discuss it with anyone.
00:50:21.45\00:50:24.32
He didn't ask your permission.
00:50:24.52\00:50:25.85
No. That's good. I
didn't say to Rosemary:
00:50:25.89\00:50:28.59
"Do you think we should
go on? " I passed her office
00:50:28.79\00:50:31.19
and I said: "We are
going to go on Vast. "
00:50:31.39\00:50:33.76
And he did that as he streaked
past... he popped his head in.
00:50:33.96\00:50:37.67
What's the name of
it? It's Vast... V-A...
00:50:37.87\00:50:40.27
How do you spell it? V- A-S-T.
00:50:40.47\00:50:43.20
Viewer Access...
You were saying Bast.
00:50:43.41\00:50:45.91
I was saying Bast all
the time and she just said
00:50:46.11\00:50:48.18
past... we went past something.
And I say past, so it's
00:50:48.38\00:50:51.71
vast and V-A-S-T.
00:50:51.91\00:50:53.98
We speak the proper English.
00:50:54.38\00:50:56.75
You speak American.
00:50:57.15\00:50:58.59
Yes.
00:50:59.65\00:51:01.39
So you know, God
opened this door up
00:51:04.16\00:51:06.26
and He just prepared
everything for it to take place.
00:51:06.46\00:51:10.27
Right now it's
going across Australia
00:51:10.77\00:51:13.40
and reaching into homes
about... When we started
00:51:13.60\00:51:16.10
it was just over 300,000
homes, over a million people.
00:51:16.30\00:51:19.77
In the last eleven months
00:51:20.18\00:51:22.61
it's grown by 28,000 homes.
00:51:22.81\00:51:25.68
Now I don't know if
you can work that out
00:51:25.88\00:51:27.78
but that's
about 600 to 800 homes
00:51:27.98\00:51:30.72
every week are
getting access to 3ABN.
00:51:30.92\00:51:34.39
Amen! That's a two-hander.
00:51:34.59\00:51:36.93
So what can I say, Danny?
We want to see the gospel go
00:51:37.53\00:51:41.76
to many many
places around the world.
00:51:41.96\00:51:43.67
We have to start where
we are, so I'd encourage you
00:51:43.87\00:51:46.67
to take the steps.
Because I remember Danny
00:51:47.44\00:51:49.97
when I saw him the
first time on television
00:51:50.17\00:51:52.51
he said: "The
blessing is on the GO! "
00:51:52.71\00:51:54.54
You ought to believe that.
00:51:54.94\00:51:56.28
You can pray "till the
cows come home" they say,
00:51:56.31\00:51:58.61
but until you take that
first step God can't work.
00:51:58.81\00:52:03.12
So I'd encourage
you: take the step.
00:52:03.32\00:52:05.25
Support what 3ABN is doing here.
00:52:05.45\00:52:07.49
And our viewers at 3ABN and Vast
00:52:07.69\00:52:11.66
I would like you to also con-
sider supporting this ministry.
00:52:11.86\00:52:14.86
Thank you Danny. It's been a
great pleasure to work with you.
00:52:15.26\00:52:17.80
Thank you so much.
These are incredible people.
00:52:18.00\00:52:19.60
They volunteered for a long
time literally going all across
00:52:19.80\00:52:22.94
Australia letting the
people know 15, 18 years ago
00:52:23.14\00:52:26.64
about 3ABN. They
worked so hard we finally
00:52:26.84\00:52:29.31
said: "We should hire them...
see if they're available. "
00:52:29.51\00:52:31.71
And now they've built a
fabulous production center
00:52:32.11\00:52:34.45
there. It's amazing
what God has wrought
00:52:34.65\00:52:37.49
through these two
people. And I'm so thankful
00:52:37.69\00:52:39.62
that you all are a
part of the 3ABN family.
00:52:39.82\00:52:42.59
Quickly I'd just
like to say something.
00:52:42.99\00:52:44.73
I want to invite everybody here
00:52:44.93\00:52:47.03
if you can pay for the
airfare come to our homecoming
00:52:47.23\00:52:50.57
in Australia... and
everybody who's watching.
00:52:50.77\00:52:53.00
We don't care where
you're from... come!
00:52:53.20\00:52:55.00
Because Danny's going to be
there. I heard two "Amens. "
00:52:55.40\00:52:59.07
All right, we're
looking forward to it.
00:53:00.48\00:53:01.91
Rosemary, you're
going to be singing for us.
00:53:02.11\00:53:03.65
What are you singing? Who Am I?
00:53:03.85\00:53:05.58
Oh! Great... thank you.
00:53:05.78\00:53:07.12
When I think of how He came
00:53:22.16\00:53:26.30
so far from glory
00:53:26.70\00:53:30.31
Came and dwelt among the lowly
00:53:31.97\00:53:37.51
such as I.
00:53:37.71\00:53:41.12
To suffer shame
and such disgrace...
00:53:42.32\00:53:47.69
on Mount Calvary take my place.
00:53:48.09\00:53:53.16
Then I ask myself the question:
00:53:54.16\00:53:58.73
"Who am I? "
00:53:59.27\00:54:02.00
Who am I
00:54:03.81\00:54:07.31
that a King would
bleed and die for?
00:54:07.51\00:54:13.35
Who am I
00:54:14.42\00:54:16.92
that He would pray:
00:54:17.12\00:54:19.99
"Not My will... Thine, Lord? "
00:54:20.19\00:54:23.96
The answer I may never know
00:54:24.96\00:54:30.33
why He ever loved me so
00:54:30.53\00:54:35.70
to an old rugged cross
00:54:36.47\00:54:39.34
He would go... who am I?
00:54:39.54\00:54:45.08
When I'm reminded of His words
00:54:46.88\00:54:51.79
"I'll leave you never.
00:54:51.99\00:54:56.06
Just be true...
00:54:57.13\00:54:59.83
I'll give to you
00:55:00.03\00:55:02.06
life forever. "
00:55:02.26\00:55:06.50
I know there's
nothing I could have done
00:55:07.27\00:55:12.94
to deserve God's only Son
00:55:13.14\00:55:18.35
to fight my battles
till they're done...
00:55:18.98\00:55:23.79
who am I?
00:55:24.32\00:55:28.06
Who am I
00:55:29.19\00:55:32.86
that a King would
bleed and die for?
00:55:33.06\00:55:38.63
Who am I that He would pray:
00:55:39.73\00:55:45.34
"Not My will... Thine, Lord? "
00:55:45.64\00:55:49.54
The answer I may never know
00:55:49.74\00:55:55.48
why He ever loved me so
00:55:55.88\00:56:01.12
to an old rugged cross
00:56:01.32\00:56:04.49
He would go... who am I?
00:56:04.69\00:56:10.40
To an old rugged
cross He would go...
00:56:11.90\00:56:17.17
who am I?
00:56:17.37\00:56:23.35
Amen! Thank you Rosemary.
00:56:26.51\00:56:29.08
I just wanted you to know
that that was an American song
00:56:29.48\00:56:33.25
by the way. I know.
00:56:33.46\00:56:35.12
Written by an American - Rusty
Goodman - just so you'll know.
00:56:35.32\00:56:37.79
He just wanted to hug my neck.
00:56:37.99\00:56:39.66
That's what it
was... that's what it was!
00:56:39.86\00:56:41.56
You been havin' a
good time so far? Amen!
00:56:41.76\00:56:44.17
We're going to take a
break in about 45 seconds
00:56:44.33\00:56:47.07
but I wanted to let you know
00:56:47.27\00:56:48.60
coming up is
Elder John Bradshaw.
00:56:48.64\00:56:50.17
Incredible man of God.
00:56:50.57\00:56:52.11
He's actually going
to be doing two sermons.
00:56:52.31\00:56:54.14
Bro. Rafferty could not be here.
00:56:55.11\00:56:56.75
We want to pray for him.
He's having a lot of pain
00:56:56.95\00:56:59.05
and back problems I think.
I'm not sure what the details.
00:56:59.25\00:57:02.22
But Bro. Bradshaw said:
"Just tell me what you need
00:57:02.62\00:57:05.52
us to do. " So
Shelley called him;
00:57:05.72\00:57:07.12
he said: "We'll do 2 sermons;
we'll go back-to-back. "
00:57:07.32\00:57:10.13
And so again, for
those of you just joining us
00:57:10.33\00:57:13.13
be sure... I always say: "Call
your friends, your enemies...
00:57:13.53\00:57:16.00
everybody. Tell them
to tune in to 3ABN. "
00:57:16.20\00:57:18.97
Because Spring Camp
Meeting is here and now
00:57:19.17\00:57:22.70
and it's going to be
going all through this evening,
00:57:22.90\00:57:24.97
tomorrow, through tomorrow
night to Friday, Sabbath.
00:57:25.17\00:57:28.61
We're going to have a
wonderful time in the Lord.
00:57:28.81\00:57:30.45
Come and join us. Amen!
00:57:30.65\00:57:32.58
