We go back a long way. 02:08 You don't have to do the personal dig. 02:09 Right. 02:10 Now, we're just talking about ministries. 02:12 Yeah, right, we're amongst friends, right? 02:14 Yeah, there's I go. 02:15 We kind of talked to each other that way. 02:17 We've got used to each other. 02:18 I don't know if we enjoy but I guess we do. 02:20 We've done it for so long. 02:22 Now I love Dwight and love his ministry, 02:24 love his passion for the gospel because Dwight has passion. 02:29 He's like that energizer bunny. 02:31 He gets kick and he keeps coming back up 02:34 and so honestly I appreciate that 02:36 and that's something that we've had to have in common. 02:38 That's not easy being in any ministry 02:41 or in any thing for 30 years, you know. 02:44 But somehow the Lord has blessed 02:46 and so it's going to be a great program today. 02:49 There's lots of things happening 02:51 and remember Jesus said, 02:52 go ye into all the world and when he goes 02:54 into all the world, guess what happens. 02:56 When this gospel of the kingdom 02:57 goes into all the world, it's the beginning not the end, 03:00 it's the end of this earth and this life 03:02 but a beginning of eternity. 03:03 So I'm always happy to join hands with folk, 03:07 Yvonne, that like Dwight and Remnant 03:10 because we've done a lot of projects 03:12 together over the years. 03:13 And the Ten Commandments books 03:15 were probably the biggest thing. 03:16 How many of those eventually 03:17 went out, over 10 million? 03:19 Yeah, it's hard to say 'cause people actually pirated 03:22 those books in another parts of the world 03:23 and just start printing them. 03:24 So we don't really know 03:26 but we did I think well over 7 million 03:28 and maybe going on to 8 million, 03:30 you know, as time goes on but who knows I mean a lot. 03:32 Okay. All right. 03:34 Lot of 'em gone out there 03:35 and we've got some great responses for that too. 03:37 Absolutely. 03:38 We'll talk a little more about some of the other projects 03:40 in a few moments but we have a special friend 03:42 who is going to be doing music for us today. 03:44 Oh, we do and he is a dear friend of this ministry. 03:47 Absolutely and us. 03:49 And us, absolutely, and he is such a blessing. 03:51 T Marshall Kelly 03:53 and he is going to sing ''He's the One.'' 04:13 Is there anyone can help us 04:17 One who understands our hearts 04:22 When the thorns of life 04:25 have pierced them 04:27 till they bleed 04:33 One who sympathizes with us 04:38 When tenderness imparts 04:44 Just the very, very blessing 04:51 that we need 04:58 Is there anyone can help us 05:03 Who can give a sinner peace 05:07 When his heart is burdened down with pain and woe 05:19 Who will speak the word of pardon 05:24 that affords a sweet release 05:29 And whose blood can wash 05:32 and make us pure like snow 05:41 Yes, there is One, only One 05:53 His blessed name is Jesus 05:58 He is that One 06:04 Yes, afflictions will press our soul 06:10 And the waves of trouble will roll 06:15 But we have a friend 06:19 who will help us 06:23 He is the One 06:30 Is there anyone can help us 06:35 When the end is drawing near 06:41 Who will go thro' death's dark waters by our side 06:52 Who will light the way before us 06:57 And dispel all doubt and fear 07:02 And He will resurrect us when He comes again 07:13 Oh, yes, there is one 07:19 Only one 07:24 His blessed name is Jesus 07:30 He is that One 07:37 Afflictions will press our soul 07:42 And the waves of trouble will roll 07:49 But we have a friend 07:52 who will help us 07:57 Jesus is that One 08:13 Amen. Absolutely beautiful. 08:15 I love T Marshall and Pastor T Marshall 08:18 and also love his music. 08:20 Me too. 08:21 I love the fact 08:22 and you and I've talked about this before that 08:25 he doesn't just sing a song, he ministers the song. 08:27 Absolutely. 08:28 There's a difference between ministry and performance. 08:29 Absolutely. 08:31 It is ministry and I know 08:33 I feel an anointing every time he sings. 08:36 And he has never done anything different 08:37 and since, you know, 30-40 years ago he doesn't, 08:42 Dwight and Tim, he's not out there for show. 08:45 Right. 08:46 He just literally is communicating 08:48 the good news of salvation 08:50 and does it with such resonance 08:51 and such beauty that I really do, 08:54 I love him as a person but I love his music also. 08:58 Speaking to that, Dwight, 08:59 we were talking about you-- 09:00 you for 30 years, 09:02 you've been in ministry of Remnant Publications 09:04 but we got to find out a little bit about Tim. 09:06 This is first time I've interviewed you, Tim. 09:09 Tell me little bit about your background? 09:10 Where're you from originally 09:12 and where you raised in a Christian home? 09:14 I was, I currently live in Cleveland, Tennessee, 09:17 just outside of Chattanooga. 09:18 Okay. 09:19 And I was very blessed to be raised in a Christian home. 09:21 My mother and grandmother were very devotes 09:23 Seventh-day Adventists. 09:25 In fact my interest in the literature ministry 09:28 which I'm involved in today came from my grandmother. 09:31 Just back in the early 1900 09:33 she was a literature of evangelist. 09:34 When I was young, she used to tell me stories 09:37 about her canvassing and she used to say 09:39 I'd rather canvass then eat. 09:41 She loved to eat, so I knew that-- 09:43 I knew that was an important thing 09:44 but it made a big impact on me. 09:46 But I've been blessed for the last 33 years 09:49 be involved in literature evangelism 09:50 or connected with the literature evangelists. 09:53 So when you were going through higher school and all that, 09:55 did you always know you wanted to be a Christian 09:59 did you ever say, you know, 10:00 I don't think, the way you like Dwight 10:02 and just go out there somewhere 10:03 for a while and then come back. 10:05 I took a little detour along the way. 10:07 I didn't take a motorcycle riding, 10:09 I don't think like that. 10:12 But I did take a little detour 10:13 and really was about my junior year in high school 10:15 when the Lord really took possession of my life 10:18 and I know that I wanted to serve Him at that time. 10:21 Okay, 10:22 so you decide I'm gonna do something for the Lord. 10:25 Did you go to college? 10:26 I did. 10:27 At first I felt like I was called to the ministry 10:29 and I went to Southern Adventist University 10:31 graduated from their program there in theology. 10:34 But during my college years, 10:36 I had a friend that invited me to come 10:38 and work as a student literature evangelist. 10:40 Okay. 10:41 And from the very first call I knew that that's what 10:45 the Lord wanted me to do. 10:47 It's 100% outreach to people who have never heard about 10:51 our special message in the kingdom of God. 10:53 And it was such an opportunity, 10:55 I loved it then and I love it now, 10:57 Well, the folks who do that tend to have a gift to gab, 11:00 I mean you almost need to, right? 11:02 'Cause you gonna knock on somebody's door 11:03 you don't even know. 11:04 Is that the way you started? You just go-- 11:06 No. Absolutely not. 11:08 In fact I could tell a story about when I did start. 11:10 Well, let me hear it. 11:11 When I-- 11:12 Let's hear it. 11:13 Well, I was actually very bashful at the time. 11:15 Really? 11:17 They had a machine that was a Dukane machine. 11:18 You may remember those, you stick a cassette in there 11:21 and a little tone and it switch. 11:22 I do. They gave it. 11:23 They gave the presentation all we have to do is go to the home 11:26 and get in and they gave the presentation 11:29 and then we had to have the-- 11:30 the presence of mind to try and ask for the people 11:33 to get the books. 11:34 Well, I knocked on the-- 11:36 all went down the street just knocking on the doors 11:38 and the first home I went to, 11:40 I practiced my presentation over and over. 11:43 I mean, I give it perfect in front of the mirror 11:45 but nobody ever interrupted me in front of the mirror. 11:49 And I knocked on this lady's door, 11:50 told her who I was 11:51 and she interrupted me 11:54 and my mind went totally blank, 11:57 totally blank, I couldn't say a word. 11:59 I looked at her and she looked at me 12:02 and finally she closed the door. 12:04 And I walked down that sidewalk so defeated, 12:07 I didn't think I ever want to knock on another door 12:09 again but that's the way the devil works, 12:11 you know, he has a discouragement 12:13 before the blessing comes. 12:14 And when I got down to the end of the street, 12:16 a lady invited me and I had my little Dukane machine. 12:19 I went inside and believe this is a true story. 12:21 I got inside and I got so nervous 12:23 I couldn't plug that machine into the wall. 12:25 I had to ask the lady to come over and plug it in. 12:28 But when it was done 12:29 she said, you know, I want to get those books 12:31 and she bought the series from me. 12:33 And when I left the home she said God sent you here today 12:37 and that was the first time in my life that I ever knew 12:39 that God had used me 12:40 and there was something inside of me 12:42 that said I want to do that again. 12:43 I want to do that again. 12:45 And it is just a continuing 12:46 and I still want to do it again. 12:48 He hasn't left me since then. 12:50 The blessing that comes from service is a blessing 12:52 you can get no other way in your life. 12:55 And one of the things that Danny is written about 12:58 is the blessings on the go. 13:00 So if you just step out there and do it, 13:03 which is what you did, 13:04 you kind of recoiled from the first house 13:08 but when you went to the second one, 13:10 you know, the Lord gave you the courage 13:11 and you did that and you-- 13:13 and that she responded really well to it. 13:15 So I think that kind of reinforced your desire 13:18 to kind of do it again. 13:20 Oh, absolutely. 'Cause it was encouraging. 13:21 Yeah, absolutely. 13:23 You know, what a better time, 13:24 no better time than to bring up, 13:26 we did our day of prayer sometime ago 13:28 and always beginning of a new year. 13:30 And I was talking to Dee Hilderbrand. 13:32 Dwight, you know Dee well, right? 13:34 And so Dee is somebody that's always going. 13:37 She is in hurry, she does everything. 13:40 She wears all kinds of hats. 13:41 Anything we need in ministry, you call her day and night, 13:43 she's willing to do it. 13:45 But it reminds me what you were saying, 13:47 you go there and you are not really sure 13:48 and you're little bashful so at our day of prayer 13:51 I'm interviewing Dee in front of all the workers 13:54 and we're talking and she and-- 13:55 I had some point kind of got on to her about her whatever, 13:58 well, Dee, you should do this or that and she said, 14:00 remember what I said to you. 14:02 Even though I don't know what I'm doing, 14:04 it doesn't slow me down. 14:07 So I said now that is deep. 14:09 So...well, I want to get t-shirts 14:12 and say even though I don't know what I'm doing, 14:13 it doesn't slow me down. 14:15 Just think about it, if you can come to the... 14:18 to the face to face with Jesus on judgment day 14:22 and you look up and say, 14:23 Lord, even though I don't know what I'm doing, 14:25 it didn't slow me down. 14:26 He's probably gonna say come on in. 14:28 That's right. Come on in. 14:29 So everything that we do in life, 14:32 it's not like you have to know or have it down path. 14:34 You tried, you went front of the mirror 14:37 but when you got here in front of the lady 14:40 suddenly you kind of went blank but it didn't slow you down. 14:44 So now you go down to the next house 14:46 and then a lady says, Tim, 14:48 you know, the Lord sent you here 14:51 and then it's a whole new revelation. 14:52 Absolutely. That's right. 14:54 And what a great feeling to know that God is using you. 14:57 Oh, yes. 14:58 I think there's no better feeling than to know that 15:00 God is using you to accomplish His purposes. 15:03 Absolutely. 15:04 To know that you're God's person in God's place 15:07 at God's time, there's nothing that can match that. 15:10 Yes. Nothing that can match it. 15:11 So you decided when you were in college that this is-- 15:15 this was the path that God had you on 15:17 as opposed to pastoring. 15:19 Yes, that is correct. That is correct. 15:21 When I looked to what the Lord 15:23 cared to have me do 15:24 and I looked at the gospel commission, 15:26 so many of our ministries are based on come ye, come ye. 15:29 We have the meetings and we want people to come 15:32 but the real gospel commission is go ye. 15:34 Come on. You got to go to the world. 15:36 Who is gonna reach the people? 15:38 Well, most people out there don't even know we exist 15:41 unless somebody takes the gospel to them. 15:43 They're not gonna come wandering in our church doors. 15:45 Somebody's got to go to them and introduce 'em. 15:47 They even give 'em a chance to know about the gospel 15:50 and I thought that's what I want to do 15:52 you know with my life is to reach people 15:54 that have never had a chance even to hear once. 15:57 That's incredible. 15:58 Not too many I don't think I've talked about it much on the air 16:01 but right after I got out of high school, 16:03 I did little, well, I went to Auburn school for a year, 16:07 which I never really used license pract or nursing 16:10 but I didn't know if I wanted to go far there not. 16:12 But I ended up somebody come by and said 16:14 you should be a literature evangelist, 16:15 I think 'cause I talk a lot. 16:17 Then you should be a literature evangelist, 16:19 so I did it for a year in the Illinois Conference. 16:22 And I learned what it's like to get door shut in your face 16:25 or doors not opened, see people home and you're knocking. 16:28 They look at you and just ignore you 16:29 but also found what it was like 16:31 to be able to get into somebody's home 16:33 to pray with people 16:35 and to see that kids come around, 16:36 see excitement 16:38 and be able to leave those books in their hands. 16:40 And then some days you have a great day, 16:42 I stopped that there's a little church over in Benton, Illinois 16:45 and I knew the pastor somewhat and not real well 16:49 but I'd sang over in his church with my family, 16:52 so I stopped in and it was in the evening almost dark, 16:54 hadn't done much all day long. 16:57 And so I knock on the door 16:59 and he says, come on in, come on in, he's in the study. 17:01 So I say let me show you these books you know. 17:04 And so I'm thinking maybe they got a few kids. 17:06 It's probably only 100 plus member church. 17:09 So I said I want to show you these Bible stories. 17:12 Oh, do you sell those? 17:15 I said yeah, and he said you would not believe 17:17 I've been looking everywhere for those. 17:19 He said I have a young married class. 17:22 I have 23 young married couples 17:24 and I want everyone of 'em to buy these sets. 17:26 Amen. 17:27 He said we don't have Sunday school, 17:28 I teach out of these-- 17:30 out of the bed or the Bible stories, that the Uncle Arthur. 17:34 Yeah, Uncle Arthur's Bible stories. 17:36 This is what I used for Sunday's school 17:38 'cause a lot of these folk are new Christians 17:40 and I want a simple understanding. 17:42 So he said you go, 17:44 I'll give you names and the addresses, 17:46 you go to every door and I'm gonna call 'em 17:48 make sure they buy it. 17:49 I don't want any excuse well, that day I sold 23 sets. 17:54 That was your happy day. That was my big day. 17:56 All right 20, and when you knock on the door 17:59 oh, we're so glad. 18:00 Elder, elder-- 18:01 the pastor called us and said you were coming. 18:03 So I said now not all days are like that. 18:05 I guess they just are waiting for that. 18:08 Well, that can be a Bible story record I think. 18:09 I guess. 18:10 But you know ministry in general, Tim, 18:12 it's whether you're pastor 18:14 you know, whether you're singer, whether whatever. 18:16 The devil hates people who's out 18:18 and doing things for the Lord, right? 18:20 And so but...for you to be in this for 33 years. 18:23 That's right. 18:24 So give us some where did you work? 18:26 I mean, always in Tennessee? 18:28 It's always been in the south in the Southern Union. 18:31 I've worked in every conference in the Southern Union 18:33 with exception of Florida, nothing against Florida. 18:35 I've just never been there and I've started out 18:39 my literature ministry in the Gulf States Conference 18:42 as a literature evangelist, 18:43 I've worked in the Carolina Conference 18:45 as a literature evangelist in the district training. 18:47 And as publishing director 18:48 of the Kentucky-Tennessee Conference. 18:50 And now currently I'm publishing director 18:52 of the Georgia-Cumberland Conference 18:54 and working with family home Christian books as well. 18:57 Well, okay. 18:58 What was the most rewarding experience you had 19:01 when you were doing literature evangelism? 19:03 Door to door? 19:05 Now that is a hard question for a literature evangelist. 19:07 We have a lot of beautiful experiences 19:10 but I think of course the baptism experiences 19:14 which I've had a number of them. 19:16 You really can't but to know 19:17 again, just to know that God is providentially there 19:21 and that God has led you to a spot. 19:24 And I remember one time, 19:26 I was working in Eastern North Carolina 19:29 and I did followed up on a car and nobody was there. 19:33 And I had to leave the area next day 19:35 but I got in my car 19:36 and I looked down at the seat beside me 19:38 and the card was there for that home. 19:40 And I just felt really impressed to go see 19:43 that car and I had a little discussion with the Lord 19:45 'cause it was way out of the way 19:47 and finally I gave in and I went there. 19:50 When I drove up to the door, 19:53 to my surprise there was a car that was there in the driveway. 19:56 I'd asked the day before and figured out 19:58 that they worked during the day and when I knocked on the door, 20:01 little grandmotherly lady came to the door 20:03 and she invited me in. 20:05 And before I began my presentation 20:08 I always asked why they sent the card in? 20:11 And she said well, I send it in for my husband. 20:15 And she said he doesn't have much education 20:17 but I saw the Bible story books 20:18 and thought it would be a marvelous thing for him. 20:21 She said but that's all changed. 20:23 She said about the month ago, 20:24 she said my husband went down to the local store, 20:27 a drunk driver came through the intersection 20:30 and killed him. 20:31 And I said, well, Lord why do you have me here? 20:33 And she insisted that I go on with my presentation 20:36 which I did. 20:38 And when I got down to the end, 20:39 I was showing her the book Bible readings 20:40 for the home you know, 20:41 we always hold the book upside down and we kind of fall it, 20:43 you know, how you did when you can, 20:45 so they can see the book. 20:47 And she stopped me, she said, I want to tell you something. 20:49 You're probably not gonna believe this. 20:51 She said but since my husband has passed away, 20:53 it's been really hard and the evenings 20:54 been very difficult. 20:56 She said last night I was so discouraged 20:58 that I just went to bed early. 21:00 And it had been long time since she'd sent this card in 21:03 asking about the books. 21:04 She said that when I went to sleep, 21:06 finally went to sleep she said I had a dream. 21:09 She said in that dream I saw that the next day 21:12 the man was gonna come representing 21:14 these Bible story books-- 21:15 How about that? 21:16 And I knew what it was likes to be like Moses. 21:18 I want to rip off my shoes 21:21 and say God I'm on a holy ground. 21:22 You're standing on a holy ground. 21:24 She said but I took off work today 21:26 because I believe that that dream would come to pass. 21:28 Absolutely. 21:29 And I tell you, you cannot replace an experience-- 21:32 Maybe that's just a coincidence. 21:35 If it was, it was the best one that ever happened to me. 21:39 Well, we-- we're famous around here for saying, 21:41 we don't believe in coincidence, 21:42 we believe in divine providence. 21:44 Oh, absolutely. 21:45 Think about that the lady had the faith, 21:48 had a dream to stay home-- 21:49 That's right to get those volumes and she got 'em 21:52 so she can teach the young people 21:53 in her neighborhood about the Bible. 21:56 But just again, to know that you're God's person 21:58 right where God wants you at the time 22:00 that God wants you there filling the need. 22:02 There's just nothing that can replace. 22:04 Well, what a beautiful, beautiful experience. 22:07 So tell me how you got-- 22:09 how you and Dwight work together? 22:10 How did you guys meet 22:11 and what's your relationship now? 22:13 Well, that's one of those God's providence things-- 22:16 Okay. 22:17 It's not coincidence. It's providence here. 22:20 As you may know in North America 22:21 there's been a lot of change in the publishing ministry. 22:25 And there's a lot of independent 22:27 literature evangelists out there 22:28 that suddenly found themselves without a support program, 22:32 plus with our regular literature evangelists, 22:34 we were trying to think how can we take literature evangelism 22:36 to a new level to help us out. 22:39 And Jim Wilson who works for organization 22:42 that had been talking with Dwight and Dwight said, 22:44 you know, I have this really good program, it's that-- 22:47 it's an online program that 22:49 I think would work with literature evangelist. 22:51 And Jim called me up and he said, this is it. 22:54 He said, we got to do this, 22:55 don't let it pass by, just like that. 22:58 And so we started talking and it really has been 23:01 a tremendous blessing on our program. 23:04 Your ministry or organization's family home Christian books? 23:06 Family home Christian books, that's right. 23:08 And it's a web based program for literature evangelist. 23:11 Every literature evangelist receives a web page. 23:14 Okay. 23:15 And when they go out, they make contacts. 23:17 Before we've always had the problem, 23:19 a literature evangelist can contact the lot of people, 23:21 but to do follow up from all those people 23:23 is almost an impossible thing for me to do. 23:25 Well, with this program after they-- 23:27 in a home the people register 23:29 and we put them in on our system 23:31 and then once a month we send them specials 23:33 and we keep in contact with the people. 23:35 And the literature evangelists as the people ordered 23:37 they get the commission just as if 23:39 they were in the home at that time. 23:40 Oh, wow. That is great. 23:41 If they had it that time, 23:43 you know, I might still be doing. 23:45 But it makes a-- 23:46 It's too late for me moving back in it. 23:48 It makes a residual income for the literature evangelist 23:50 that allows us to keep in contact with the people. 23:52 When they order, the literature evangelist 23:54 can call him and thank him and start developing 23:56 a relationship with people that are sincerely interested. 24:00 Plus it gives us database for evangelism. 24:04 If the town is having an evangelistic series 24:06 or cooking school. 24:07 We're developing this huge database of information. 24:11 All they have to do is contacts. 24:12 We know everybody just bought a cookbook. 24:14 We know everybody's bought a prophecy book. 24:16 And we can send them specialized invitations 24:19 for these events. 24:20 That's tremendous. 24:21 That to me, that's bringing the gospel up-- 24:24 Well, the gospel is timeless 24:25 but it's bringing the message up to our time. 24:29 It's so...that is a, it's a win-win for everybody. 24:32 Oh, we think it just, it was God send, 24:35 there's no other way to look at it. 24:37 It blends the traditional literature evangelism. 24:39 You cannot replace face to face contact, 24:41 door to door. 24:42 But you got to have some mechanism 24:44 and it spraggs the mechanism for contact for future orders 24:48 for building up there a way 24:49 that they can stay in their ministry. 24:50 It's just an all around blessing. 24:52 And so we developed this relationship 24:57 and Remnant Publications has been a big blessing 25:00 as far as they help with our shipping 25:03 and lot of the technology that they help developed. 25:06 But it's actually grown much bigger 25:09 than just Remnant Publications and organization. 25:12 Dwight and I both, we have the vision 25:14 that now is the time when every ministry 25:16 and Adventist Church should be working together. 25:19 The day has come when we first to stop 25:21 being independent ministries doing what we're doing. 25:24 And so we've gone into partnership 25:26 with other ministries. 25:27 You know, for instance Breath Of Life, 25:29 It Is Written, and 3ABN as well, and Amazing Facts. 25:34 We've gone into a partnership with these, 25:36 where as literature evangelist used to carry half a dozen 25:40 or dozen items to make available to people. 25:43 Now we have over 500 items 25:46 that the literature evangelist can offer in home. 25:48 If a person is interested in prophecy but doesn't read, 25:51 you know, they can get John Bradshaw's prophecy DVDs 25:54 from literature evangelists and literature evangelists 25:56 makes a commission based on that, 25:58 so it just opened up lots of options. 26:02 And something else too which he mentioned the partnership 26:04 but like with 3ABN is partnering 26:07 on the deal with bookmarks. 26:10 So what happens on the one side of the bookmark 26:11 which I think Tim has one here. 26:15 This is, this is... it is Written one 26:17 but you have 3ABN on there and on the back 26:19 then the LEs has the number on there. 26:23 Which that's what gives them their commission 26:25 with that person but they go there in person 26:27 which you know about meet in advertising, 26:29 you only get a percentage. 26:31 Well, when you hand somebody and say 26:33 hey, you need to be watching 3ABN, 26:35 they have cooking classes. 26:37 You know they have doctor classes 26:38 and inspirationally they have lots of things. 26:40 So you share that and it say and that shows on that bookmark 26:43 how they can turn on to that television station. 26:46 So those LEs that are pounding the payments so to speak, 26:49 there's hundreds of LEs out there. 26:51 They are out there knocking on the doors, 26:52 handing out that bookmark which to me is touch. 26:56 It's not just on the air, so it's a pretty neat thing 26:59 when you think about it, you know. 27:00 That's wonderful. 27:01 You are also doing something 27:02 I think with the antichrist agenda, right? 27:04 That is right. That is right. 27:06 Of course during the summer we have this army 27:08 of young people that come in, our Magabook students. 27:10 I saw it and it looks beautiful. 27:12 Absolutely beautiful. Oh, it is, it is. 27:13 And Brandon was-- 27:15 Brandon Tygret developed it here. 27:17 They actually called us 27:18 and said what are the people in the field 27:20 and that was a blessing to us. 27:21 And what are the people in the field need 27:23 out of this book to make it presentable 27:26 from your perspective. 27:27 And he tried to work with us in developing a book 27:29 in such a way that it would fit our needs. 27:30 Yeah, that's wonderful. 27:32 We were centering and I want to center in on specifically 27:37 what we're here, one of the... the testimony is great. 27:40 Thank you for those. It encourages us so much. 27:43 Couple things I want to do. 27:44 I want to center in on the newest project 27:46 you guys got going, I think it's amazing. 27:48 But also for people who are there now. 27:51 In fact I just talked to a guy the other day, 27:53 he's been in business, a businessman 27:56 fairly new Adventist and he said to me, 27:58 I just don't know what I'm gonna do, 28:00 I went out of that, I feel like-- 28:02 I want to work for the Lord but I'm not a pastor. 28:04 He's a great guy smiling, I'm sitting here thinking, 28:07 what about the people who are watching, 28:08 maybe they want to get involved and say you know what, 28:11 I want to become a literature evangelist. 28:13 Is there anyway they can contact you? 28:14 Who should they do this work with? 28:17 Maybe they say we want to work with, 28:18 with you all and think about is to help 28:21 because I believe there are people watching this says, 28:23 you know what, 28:24 I want to get away from what I was doing. 28:26 I want to just spend my time in the Lord's work 28:28 and especially when you hear stories like this 28:31 that Tim is sharing with us. 28:32 It makes you want to get out there 28:33 and be part of the Lord's work. 28:35 And that's the beauty of the program 28:36 that we have now. 28:38 Because if-- since we service with the internet, 28:41 then the literature evangelist can actually go to the internet 28:44 order their books. 28:45 They can get training, they can get all of that 28:47 by this website that anybody anywhere 28:50 can sign up for the program. 28:52 And we believe, you know, some people in our day 28:55 and time believes that publishing is on its last leg. 28:58 We don't believe that. 28:59 We believe the revival is coming in publishing. 29:02 We believe the Lord is pouring out sprit and people 29:04 just like you talked about from all over are calling 29:07 and saying we want to do something for Lord. 29:09 People realize the times we live in. 29:11 But what it is that Yvonne hit on it is 29:14 because you are bringing-- 29:15 you're incorporating the technology, 29:17 today's technology just books in general, you know, 29:21 but when we're gonna find out what you have going here, 29:24 I mean it's not like you're just picking up 29:26 34 years ago book and reading it. 29:28 Because everybody I mean, kids know more about computers 29:32 than phones and all that than most of us adults do. 29:35 So if you're gonna keep that audience, 29:37 you got to find ways to interact with them. 29:40 That's right and the neat thing too 29:41 just going back maybe a little bit 29:44 on who can get involved? 29:47 The one thing about the literature evangelism 29:49 is it's pretty much a full time job. 29:50 It wasn't really brought out to be a part time job. 29:53 Sure. 29:54 And my dream has always been, what about the homes, 29:56 kids at home schooling? 29:58 You know, I've...I've been to different churches 30:02 and say I want something for our kids, 30:04 I like to see them knocking the door 30:06 and just share around the neighborhood. 30:08 And I would, you know, the mother would go with him 30:10 or the father whatever so. 30:11 It's pretty cool because it's a part time thing. 30:14 I would say there's thousands of viewers, 30:17 they could do something on a part time basis. 30:20 They're not worried about the money. 30:22 They just want to reach the neighborhood 30:23 and yet and they care something so they cannot be so shy 30:27 and they can go to door and the parents can help them. 30:29 So anybody can get involved 30:30 and I and so it isn't like you got to get in this 30:32 and do it 8-10 hours a day. 30:34 You can do it two hours a day. 30:36 What if somebody has never got a book out ever? 30:40 And they just did one in the year, 30:41 to me that's successful. 30:43 You know, because they didn't-- and what if that book 30:45 went to somebody that became a baptized member 30:48 and they would they'd be evangelists 30:50 and baptize thousands of people. 30:52 I mean if you can imagine that, so it's what can one book do? 30:56 You know so it isn't like I wouldn't be successful 30:59 if I only can get 10 books out. 31:01 I mean what if they get three out, 31:03 it could be successful and that's what 31:05 so neat about the program. 31:06 And they have a website. Absolutely. 31:09 It really ensures, you know, that the opportunity 31:13 for future orders, because they have a website. 31:16 I mean, I think that's a-- this is a magnificent idea. 31:18 And they're touched every, every month 31:20 and we're gonna do probably end up 31:21 doing it probably every two weeks. 31:24 Where any new products that come out 31:26 and of course you have a database, 31:27 so if they bought a set of the Bible stories, 31:29 if they bought bed time stories, 31:30 if they bought, you know, whatever they bought 31:34 then you know that and you say-- 31:36 you have got this, you enjoyed this, 31:37 you might enjoy this. 31:39 It's a new product out there. 31:40 And so now they can buy that 31:42 because the colporteurs can't continue to go back 31:44 to the same doors, but they do need to use-- 31:46 those are their client so to speak 31:49 and that's how you build that. 31:51 Anyway it excites me when I talk about it. 31:53 I get excited too when I think about, you know, 31:55 using technology to reach people for Jesus 31:58 I mean that's the thing. It's awesome. 31:59 Absolutely. 32:00 Well, let's talk about this book. 32:02 I see a book here called the Miracle Man. 32:04 Yeah. Tell us about this? 32:06 Well, and the product we show on the screen right now. 32:10 We're designing it-- it's on the screen. 32:11 We're designing a series seven volumes set 32:14 of the Bible stories but really it goes along 32:18 with the Conflict of the Ages. 32:20 So the one neat thing about these, 32:21 now I want to make a statement right now, 32:24 my parents read me the Bible stories. 32:27 Okay. 32:28 I listened them over and over again. 32:30 When we-- my wife and I got married, 32:32 Debbie and I got married, we bought a set 32:34 and we read 'em to our kids. 32:36 And you cannot be-- that's an icon 32:39 they're like 65 years, they came out in the 50s. 32:41 I mean that's an icon but the one thing about those 32:45 is that they haven't really changed that much 32:47 and there's not interaction. 32:49 So this seven volume set is out of the conflict, 32:52 so is but the neat thing is the seventh volume 32:54 is on the Great Controversy but for kids. 32:56 Okay. Okay, that's number one. 32:58 Number two is we at the end of every chapter 33:01 on these seven volumes set is an interaction page, 33:06 there's a QR code, okay. 33:08 And there is also a prayer for the story like Goliath, 33:12 it says I think the prayer is one line, 33:14 it basically says when you feel you have giants, obstacles, 33:19 you can trust in God just like David did. 33:22 There's an app in here that will take-- 33:25 you can just put your Kindle your iPad, iPhone whatever, 33:29 and you can put it on a picture 33:32 and then like this picture here is of Gideon I think, 33:35 if they show those pictures again 33:37 and there's Gideon you could see on there. 33:39 So they-- in the story book if they put that iPhone 33:41 or whatever on that picture, all of a sudden 33:43 you could probably will hear the horn sounding. 33:46 Wow. 33:47 So they could go through every picture in this book 33:50 and they'll be able to, you know, 33:52 maybe there's one with Noah and the Ark and the peeper, 33:54 maybe you'll hear him pounding on like Noah, let us in. 33:57 So it'll be an interactive set of stories within app 34:02 that which will attach the website. 34:06 It's just gonna be awesome 34:07 and then we also have it in audio. 34:09 So they're flipped into the pictures there. 34:11 These pictures we've done over 700 pictures that we're buying, 34:15 we've got 20 artists that are doing this 34:17 that'll be our pictures. 34:18 We're doing all brand new stories 34:19 which Brad Booth is helping with the stories 34:22 and he's did a lot of children's books 34:24 so he is well known. 34:26 And you can see those pictures there, 34:28 they are up to date, they're fresh 34:31 but the neat thing which I like is 34:33 that the publishing isn't going down 34:35 but publishing does changing. 34:37 And kids are used to looking at their-- 34:40 You know, fonts and so you need to do something 34:42 and when mom and dad aren't around 34:44 which they're all busy today, you know they can-- 34:46 they can hear the story from the audio we went through, 34:49 I went through 125 professional voices. 34:53 That's a lot of work just to listen to them online 34:54 after while they seem sound-- 34:55 I don't remember getting a phone call. 34:57 You know, neither did I, you know, as I think about it. 35:01 Yeah, okay, well, that's fine go ahead. 35:05 We're not too sensitive about it. 35:07 Okay, I hate rejection. 35:08 I'm just afraid you would have said no, 35:11 so that's why I didn't. 35:12 You got out of that well. I was sweating a little bit. 35:15 Yeah, you got the golden tongue, 35:16 you're forgiven. 35:18 But anyways and we've got this a Christian man. 35:21 I mean we had men and women but he's tremendous 35:24 and they'll be some sound effects 35:25 within like one is that when Goliath slaps his knee, 35:28 you hear the slap 35:30 and so it's gonna be awesome audio. 35:33 And but, but again not just the audio 35:35 but it'll be on this hidden treasure question, 35:39 they'll be like three questions asking, 35:42 you know, the parents can ask. 35:43 Okay, now what about what happened here? 35:45 Simple questions that keep them involve 35:47 but the neatest thing is the interaction, 35:49 that's what neat in it. 35:50 And again there's 40 stories for each one and there is, 35:54 so there's about 280 stories, seven volumes. 35:56 And the reason they're seven, 35:57 there's only five in the Conflict series 35:59 but Patriarchs and Prophets is such a big book. 36:01 So we have two volumes in Patriarchs and Prophets 36:03 and two volumes in Desire of Ages. 36:05 But it goes through that and then of course 36:07 with a LE work with a Conflict set, 36:10 our classic Conflict and that's why we call it 36:12 the children's classics, centric classics 36:15 because it goes along with the hardback conflicts, 36:17 so now the adult-- you can, 36:19 the LE can say and you can get this 36:21 for the adults and there's even more stories in here. 36:24 So anyway and this will be out probably in June 36:26 and we're excited because I think it's been long overdue 36:31 something like this to come out. 36:32 Absolutely and that's the go ye, you know, 36:35 not be satisfied with where you are 36:38 but say look technology is changing people's, 36:41 you know, ideas and people's education 36:43 is changing, everything is changing 36:45 and how do we keep up and keep an audience 36:48 and keep in touch with these young folk 36:50 without compromising. 36:52 You know, lot of times what we see even in churches, 36:54 they got all this stuff interactive things coming 36:57 but it's to me it's compromising the gospel. 37:00 And so this isn't compromising, 37:02 this is just making it real hearing the sounds 37:05 and being able to take download an app 37:07 and go to the website and follow along 37:10 with the books as you read it. 37:11 I mean, really that's brilliant. 37:13 It really is 37:14 and when you think about what it's doing, 37:16 it's connecting an experience with the story. 37:19 So it makes it much more memorable. 37:21 It makes it come alive. Absolutely. 37:23 And we need that for kids because attention spans, 37:26 when I grow up of course, I was an exception 37:28 my attention span was like the kids today. 37:31 It should have been a lot better, you now. 37:34 But today the attention span for young people 37:38 even for adults aren't that great 37:40 so there is stage, you know, it is what it is. 37:43 We can't say I don't really care, 37:44 you know, you need to be sit down 37:45 and read the chapter of the Bible. 37:46 You're not gonna get anywhere 37:48 and so what you need to do is without-- 37:50 which I like what you said, Danny, 37:52 we cannot sacrifice our principles. 37:54 But what we can do is and what you said Yvonne is, 37:56 let's give them an experience that this Bible is exciting. 38:00 That I want this God of heaven, 38:03 I want to know more about Him 38:05 that took this boy David and killed 38:07 and slew this giant Goliath and more stories like that 38:11 and it's all about trust in God. 38:12 It's all about being obedient 38:14 and the consequences of being disobedient. 38:16 And if you love Me, keep My commandments. 38:18 So anyway that's what these stories 38:20 and how this is all gonna work. 38:21 And it's great to think too that 38:23 parents can have some, 38:25 you know, we talk about this too 38:26 about creating memories for your children. 38:29 What great memories, 38:30 I mean my dad and my mom sat and read this to me 38:33 and I heard this I mean, 38:36 it's an experience connected with an emotion. 38:39 I mean I think it's-- it makes it memorable. 38:42 It is. Absolutely. 38:43 You were talking about, I don't know 38:45 what they call that short memory, 38:47 was that ADD or what's the other? 38:50 ADHD. 38:51 And ADHD I would have had that one 38:53 when I was a kid but my dad wouldn't let me. 38:56 So I guarantee you 99% of that would be gone 38:59 if my dad were around today. 39:01 He had four boys and we want 39:02 to have assured attention and there's no way 39:05 'cause he worked you over if he did in a good way. 39:07 You know, Dwight, what the Bible said, 39:09 it believe not sparing the rod and spoil the child 39:11 so that always got my attention. 39:13 So my dad is resting in Jesus when I get to see him 39:16 I'm gonna thank him for care and love. 39:18 No, I'm not saying there is a such a thing 39:20 but take-- take it for what it is 39:22 but I understand a lot of this. 39:24 I got a feeling that was your problem 39:25 and had nothing to do with any physical thing going on. 39:28 I got a feeling, Dwight just didn't want to pay attention. 39:32 That's what all my teachers said. 39:34 I told my parents but they just don't understand 39:37 but, you know, of course, now that got us a little bit. 39:40 But my dad was the same way but that's a thing, 39:42 we want to reach out to the young people 39:46 and one thing just 39:47 maybe to transition a little bit that-- 39:49 that maybe the viewers might know 39:52 what we want to do. 39:53 This book that I've got right here 39:55 that I'm showing you on the screen here, 39:57 this is what they call a lead book where they put, 40:00 that's why this is the thin book 40:02 and we had this hand done. 40:03 But it goes in, there's like, there's like 10 stories in here 40:06 and it can go into doctor's offices 40:08 or dentist's offices or chiropractor offices 40:11 or just professional offices and what we really want to do, 40:15 Tim and I had been talking. 40:16 We want to try to get this in that, 40:18 you know, with these LEs are out there 40:20 get it into every dentist's office, 40:23 doctor's office, of course you have a little 40:25 deal with cards in here so they can get that 40:27 and they can contact, you know, 40:30 on the website to get these books. 40:32 And honestly it just hit me, you know, 40:34 this is wonderful too that reminded me of the lady 40:37 that said her husband, you know, 40:39 she wanted to get it for him 40:40 because he was simple, you know, 40:43 and didn't read that well or didn't understand 40:46 because what for whatever reason 40:47 there's a huge audience today of adults 40:51 that we're finding out lot in the inner cities and all 40:54 that this would be perfect for because it's a way to bring. 40:57 Sometimes you read, the Bible's little tough. 41:00 But you put it in today's language, 41:02 you put it in where people can understand it. 41:04 You make it interesting and so I think 41:07 we shouldn't limit this to just children. 41:10 I think this is for everybody and I enjoy. 41:12 I've read the Bible stories read to my kids. 41:15 I mean, I do it, I enjoy it and this is another one, 41:18 I mean to me this is great. 41:20 I want to get a set of these for my grand baby, 41:22 he's the youngest one 41:23 'cause they're going to want 'em 41:25 as long as I get to be a part and read him 41:26 'cause it's really what I'm saying 41:28 that the gospel is simple, it should be. 41:31 But sometimes some of the, you know, King James is great 41:33 but it's little hard to understand 41:35 but when we can get these stories 41:37 and then get 'em to our young kids. 41:38 I could-- he is talking I'm gonna think about 41:40 baby faith in Jonah-- 41:42 Saying well, we can use an app. 41:43 We can hear the sounds and we can hear all of this. 41:45 They'll love it. Absolutely. 41:46 They will. That's nice. 41:48 I want to follow up just a little bit 41:49 on what Dwight was saying 41:51 about putting these in all the different, 41:52 not just doctor's offices any person, 41:55 place a person sits and wait. 41:57 We want Seventh-day Adventist materials to be represented. 42:01 You know, people go in and they read those, 42:02 all those garbage to read that's around there, 42:04 for kids included and but we want something 42:08 to be there that's of value in those different places. 42:11 When we're taking places you know, 42:13 it's a ministry in itself actually just putting the books 42:15 in a different waiting areas. 42:17 And you think of all across of North America, 42:20 all the different place that these are, 42:21 they stand as a testimony kind of an altar, 42:23 a pillar to the Lord in the middle 42:25 of all the trouble and when parents 42:27 come into doctor's office, they have a headache, 42:28 they have whatever, kids are sick, 42:30 there's something wholesome there 42:32 before the families doing it, 42:33 it makes a contact point between them and us, 42:36 so that we can end up in their home 42:38 and visit with them. 42:39 And it's such a beautiful way of doing that 42:41 and preparing people for that experience. 42:44 Absolutely and you were talking, 42:45 there's time for everybody to work together. 42:47 My mind goes too all the ABC's hopefully 42:50 everyone of those who have 'em. 42:52 There are grocery stores outside Andrews University, 42:55 Southern, you know, they're selling magazines, 42:57 they sell all kinds of stuff. 42:59 We should be having these out available for people. 43:01 I mean, there is so-- we have so many avenues 43:04 and sometimes we only do certain things. 43:07 Well, if we're gonna promote whatever 43:09 and let's promote the gospel, you know, 43:11 let's make it part of it. 43:12 So I think we ought to, you know. 43:14 Say let's all work together everybody 43:16 because this is what it's all about. 43:18 Well, we're thinking big, 43:19 don't think we're thinking small. 43:20 Yeah. We're thinking big. 43:23 That's right. That's right. 43:25 Well, we'll help anyway we can here at 3ABN. 43:28 We believe in it, we think it's a great way 43:31 to get the gospel to the world, 43:33 and I love the interactive part of it 43:35 and with young people and, Dwight, 43:37 I've known him for, you know, forever it seems like, 43:40 but ever since I mean we met 43:42 when we were very young in ministry. 43:44 Young and young in ministry and you know, 43:46 he always thinks outside the box. 43:49 And I appreciate that about him. 43:50 If there's a way to do and get it done, 43:52 Dwight Hall would do it. 43:54 And so you know that if he's involved in it, 43:56 it's not going to just lay dormant, 43:58 nothing is going to happen. 43:59 So I respect that about you, Dwight, 44:01 and your commitment to the Lord, 44:02 your commitment to the message. 44:04 And that you don't compromise the message 44:07 in order to sell more books 'cause as you know 44:10 you sold millions and millions but you could move a lot more 44:13 if you were willing to compromise a little bit 44:16 but you don't do that. 44:17 At Remnant, so thank you for what you do. 44:19 Thank you. Yeah. 44:20 There is a way just to follow up on this 44:23 so you know a lot of people out there. 44:24 It's true not everybody 44:26 is called to be a literature evangelist 44:28 like I am but many people are. 44:31 They are involved in someway 44:32 but there's many people that want to help 44:34 the literature evangelist in their minister, 44:37 they believe in the literature ministry 44:38 and they want to support the literature ministry. 44:40 And as we see these-- these volumes all of-- 44:44 When something like this is initiated, 44:46 there's actually great expense it come 44:48 with placing all of these new books 44:50 out in new territory in doctor's offices. 44:52 And I can't help believe that there's some people out there 44:54 that would love to sponsor these books 44:56 into doctor's office. 44:57 And they want to be involved in the ministry 44:59 in someway of helping to put that literature out there. 45:01 These pillars alights in different places, 45:04 they would do that and then-- and then in return it blesses 45:06 the literature evangelist who do feel 45:08 that God has called him to be out there. 45:10 So it's a support back support of the ministry 45:12 in being able to do that. 45:15 Well, I was going to ask you well, Dwight, 45:18 how he decided to do literature evangelism? 45:22 Well, you know, 45:24 I never sold books door to door. 45:26 When I was in fifth and sixth grade, 45:28 they had magazine sales, I was in public school. 45:32 And I remember my parents were always too busy 45:34 always working just as support at that time, 45:37 we were quite poor. 45:38 So I went out of my little street bicycle 45:40 so that kind of ages me, and I went door to door 45:44 and knocking on door selling magazines. 45:46 So I had a little bit of experience 45:47 at least going door to door 45:48 but when I came back to the Lord, 45:51 somebody gave me a Great Controversy 45:53 and The Desire of Ages. 45:56 And I bought a Bible and when I read those 45:59 with my Bible, it just, it changed my life 46:02 and of course it's never been the same since 46:04 and that's why I'm here today. 46:05 And so I have a tremendous heart 46:07 for literature evangelist because it's the books 46:12 that changed my life. 46:13 I listened to sermons growing up 46:14 and I don't know how many 46:16 and when you grow up as an Adventists, 46:17 how many evangelist I just thought 46:19 they were great but it was the books 46:22 and of course I know it was Holy Spirit, 46:23 it was a right timing but I just have a burden 46:26 for the publishing work. 46:27 I just feel that we have an army 46:31 of people that are Seventh-day Adventists 46:33 and other Christians. 46:35 We have an army, but we need to supply 46:37 that army with guns, 46:39 I mean, if you know what I'm trying to say. 46:40 I mean you go to war and you're not gonna just 46:42 send a bunch of people in battle 46:43 without a weapon. 46:45 Ammunition. And ammunition. 46:47 Here you've got books that 46:49 you might not get anywhere else. 46:51 They talk about the Three Angles' Message, 46:53 the present truth 46:54 and you've got these boots on the ground 46:56 so to speak but it is the 3ABNs 46:58 and the Remnants or Amazing Facts 47:00 and other ministries they get the message out 47:02 but it takes the army of workers to go there 47:06 door to door or however they go 47:07 to get these books and so that's my passion, 47:10 has always been. 47:12 Do you have any idea how many millions of pieces 47:16 of literature and books that you've printed 47:21 and marketed over the last 30 years? 47:23 You know, probably if I-- 47:25 you know maybe if I did it sound like 47:27 I was bragging 'cause you know it wasn't me 47:29 but I mean if you just think of the Ten Commandments 47:31 Twice Removed, seven million in the last year 47:33 so we print over seven million of the full blown 47:35 Great Controversy and send out a million to New York 47:39 and you get donations and we just sent out 47:41 to San Francisco and there was two 47:44 national news medias that called me up 47:47 and ask why are you sending this, 47:49 I mean to people that don't want it. 47:50 And I was able to witness to them 47:52 and I don't know we've just-- 47:54 I don't know it could be 47:56 maybe close to a 100 million or something, 47:57 I don't know. It's been a lot, a lot. 48:01 A 100 million and you just said that so causally. 48:03 Yeah, well, I was thinking it probably 48:06 wasn't that you know something 48:07 that's there that's in people's homes. 48:10 You've all heard the stories of somebody 48:12 who picked up a book 20 years 48:14 after it'd been there or their folks die 48:17 and they get, you know, cleaned it out the house, 48:19 they put these books away and then they pull out 48:21 one of the books, The Great Controversy 48:23 or Steps to Christ or whatever 48:25 and then you know give their hearts to the Lord. 48:28 So it's there so what you put out, 48:30 let's say it's a 100 million books 48:32 and pieces of literature, 48:34 you will only know in eternity 48:37 how many souls, you with the books, 48:39 you know all the people that you've worked with, 48:42 have to be in hundreds of millions, 48:43 I know Steps to Christ, 48:44 there's millions and millions and millions of those 48:47 that have been given out, had been sold around the world. 48:50 So really only in eternity 48:53 will we have any idea of the literature work, 48:55 literature evangelism the amount of souls. 48:58 You don't always get the amount of attention 49:00 that the good preachers get, you know, 49:02 all the Marks and the Dougs and all of these C.D. Brooks 49:05 and all these folks are getting out there, 49:07 but in the long run it's all the same. 49:09 It's all part of the work. 49:10 It's all the finishing of the work. 49:13 We only have a couple of minutes here. 49:14 We're gonna go to break and well we have an address 49:18 that maybe a folk want to contact you, 49:21 I like to be able to put up an address in a bit 49:24 and how to do that but what we want to do, 49:26 I think we want to go to break and then we're gonna come back 49:28 and have-- we're gonna go to a new break 49:31 and then we're gonna come back 49:32 and have just a few minutes to close. |
