Oh, yeah. Right? 01:20 And why don't we introduce our guests right now? 01:23 Awesome. Would you do it? 01:24 I would love to. You know these folks? 01:25 I do and love them dearly. 01:27 Shelley Quinn, Pastor John Lomacang 01:31 and Brother John Dinzey. 01:33 All right. 01:35 Johnny, what's your position here 01:36 for the folks that may not know 3ABN? 01:39 Well, I've been blessed to be general manager of 3ABN Latino, 01:42 and the Lord is doing great and mighty things. 01:45 All right, John, now, you are pastor of the church, 01:48 but what's your position here now? 01:50 Director of World Evangelism. 01:52 Oh, that sounds like fun. 01:54 It is a lot of fun. 01:55 It gives us a broad canvas to carry the gospel. 01:59 You know, I believe sometimes the gospel 02:00 is like a paint brush. 02:02 The world is the canvas and God has given us now, 02:04 it says, "Now you paint the world 02:06 as the spirit of God guides you." 02:08 And I like to think of the gospel in Matthew 24:14 02:11 as the entire world reaches, is reached by the gospel, 02:14 meaning, as we take that brush 02:16 that God has given to us to paint the world, 02:19 that's where the blessing comes. 02:20 So I'm excited about it. 02:21 Sister Shelley Quinn, which hat do you want to wear? 02:23 I mean, you have so many which-- 02:26 Go through a few of them that... 02:27 Well, let's see. 02:29 I'm Program Development Manager 02:30 and I do a lot of various things here, 02:32 but the thing I'm most excited about 02:35 is being involved with the "Go" Evangelistic Team, 02:38 and just want to say hello to all of our 02:40 "Go" Evangelistic Team members out there. 02:43 And I'm just so blessed, Danny, to be a part of this. 02:47 And I have to say, 02:49 and this is absolutely the truth. 02:50 Someone was once asking me the other day 02:53 how things were going at 3ABN. 02:55 And I said, "It has never been more exciting." 02:57 I've been here 11 years, 03:00 and it's never been more exciting 03:03 than what's going on right now. 03:05 And that is because 03:06 God has started a movement here. 03:08 And as I have said before, and I truly believe this, 03:12 is that everything-- we are celebrating 03:15 our 31st anniversary in just a couple of weeks here, 03:18 not even weeks away. 03:20 But I believe everything that God has established here 03:24 was just the foundation for the "Go" Evangelistic Team 03:27 in this World Evangelism 03:29 that we are getting ready to do. 03:31 And to me, it's almost like God is re-launching 3ABN. 03:35 And the enthusiasm, and you know about that word 03:37 "enthusiasm", and "theo" is God within. 03:40 And so the enthusiasm that is among our staff here 03:45 is so wonderful. 03:46 We just want to thank all of you 03:48 who have joined the "Go" Evangelistic Team. 03:51 We know the blessings on the go, 03:54 and if you haven't yet, 03:55 I hope by the time you hear this program, 03:57 that you'll be signing up too, 03:59 because we want you to be one of our team members. 04:02 That's right. Absolutely. 04:03 Now, Yvonne, tell us what's your position? 04:05 What hats do you wear here? 04:07 I am the General Manager of 3ABN's urban network, 04:11 Dare to Dream, 04:13 and I'm also a "Go" Evangelistic Team member. 04:17 All right. 04:19 Yeah! 04:20 So I'm absolutely-- I'm so excited about 04:24 what God is doing with this whole program, 04:27 this whole "Go" Evangelistic Team program. 04:29 Movement. 04:30 It is a movement indeed, because it's not just-- 04:34 It's getting everybody involved in winning souls for Christ. 04:39 And that's what we are supposed to be doing. 04:41 And in doing so we are getting so revved up 04:44 and buzzed and it's just, it's wonderful. 04:46 Yeah, a lot of the folk, maybe you are watching 04:49 and you say, "I'm not sure what this is all about." 04:51 We are gonna explain this to you in a big, 04:53 but this is all a great set up for the fact--- 04:56 Why are we doing this? 04:57 We believe Jesus is coming soon. 04:59 And so the fact that Jesus is coming soon, 05:02 3ABN got with legendary Lari Goss, 05:05 who is now resting in Jesus waiting the second coming, 05:09 and we put together lot of songs, 05:11 a whole production on all songs pointing 05:14 to the second coming of the Lord Jesus Christ. 05:17 Because out of sight, out of mind. 05:20 If you don't think about it, you don't contemplate it, 05:22 you don't want to read then all of a sudden, 05:24 the things of earth seem to just overtake us. 05:26 True. 05:27 And every day we should contemplate 05:29 not only the goodness of God, 05:31 but the fact that He is coming back 05:33 in the clouds of glory to save. 05:35 Well, people say, "Well, you know, 05:37 they have been saying that for long time." 05:39 Doesn't make any difference. 05:40 If He doesn't come back, guess what, 05:42 right in our lifetime, we are gonna die. 05:44 But we want to be prepared that when He does come back, 05:47 that we are there to meet Him. 05:48 Because the fact is Jesus is coming back. 05:51 We believe it's very soon. 05:52 The signs are all around us, 05:54 and you are gonna be hearing more and more programs. 05:56 John, you were there when the Pope was here 05:59 some time ago. 06:00 And, you know, at White House 06:02 and, so we are gonna do programs on that. 06:03 We haven't done that yet. 06:05 We got to put all that together. 06:06 But current events tell us that Jesus is coming very soon. 06:09 Amen. 06:11 And so we were putting together songs, we wrote a few 06:13 and then we put some old standards 06:15 we call it on the second coming, 06:17 the thought occurred to me, 06:18 all the songs I've ever heard about the second coming 06:22 of the Lord Jesus Christ is from our perspective, 06:25 looking up waiting for the Savior to come. 06:27 And this little thought hit me. 06:29 I wonder what it's gonna be like in heaven. 06:32 I would like to know from heaven's perspective. 06:34 When things get ready, Jesus stands up 06:37 and then all of a sudden-- 06:39 How are the angels gonna respond? 06:40 What's gonna happen in heaven? And I got excited about it. 06:43 So I wrote-- I said, 06:45 "Boy, I'm gonna write this song. 06:47 Lord willing, I'll write this song." 06:48 I wrote the verses 06:50 and I said, "Lord, I know this is from You. 06:52 These are very powerful, but I didn't have a chorus." 06:55 And I talked to Yvonne Lewis, and what had you done? 06:58 I had written a chorus and could not get a verse. 07:02 And I asked the Lord and said, "Lord, 07:04 I need a verse for this song, but I just-- nothing is coming. 07:08 Please give me something, please give me something." 07:11 And I'm not a songwriter like you are. 07:13 Sometimes, you know, I have written a couple of things 07:15 but nothing that great. 07:17 And the Lord gave me that chorus but no verses. 07:20 And they absolutely fit together. 07:22 In fact, I had to change one of the lines of the verse 07:26 because it was the same line that she had in her chorus. 07:29 We didn't know each other was thinking about this. 07:31 So we put it together, went to Lari Goss 07:33 and we are gonna play this song right now. 07:35 It's called, we call it our 3ABN choir, 07:38 but we have a few guests here also. 07:40 And we are gonna play you this song from this, 07:42 "Hallelujah, We're Home At Last!" 07:57 Hallelujah to the Lamb! 08:01 Hallelujah to the Great I AM! 08:05 Hallelujah, all pain is past! 08:10 Hallelujah, we're home at last! 08:15 There's excitement in Heaven 08:18 Like there's never been before 08:23 Jesus stands up Heaven is changed forevermore and more 08:31 The angels surround the Savior 08:35 To escort the Son of Man 08:39 He returns to earth victorious 08:43 To fulfill salvation's plan 08:50 Hallelujah to the Lamb! 08:55 Hallelujah to the Great I AM! 08:59 Hallelujah, all pain is past! 09:03 Hallelujah, we're home at last! 09:14 At the sound of the last trump 09:18 The dead in Christ will rise 09:23 We're going home at last 09:26 We'll surround the sea of glass 09:31 No more empty mansions 09:34 No vacant seats around the throne 09:39 Heaven is finally Heaven 09:42 When God's children are home 09:50 Hallelujah to the Lamb! 09:54 Hallelujah to the Great I AM! 09:58 Hallelujah, all pain is past! 10:02 Hallelujah, we're home at last! 10:10 Hallelujah, Hallelujah Hallelujah, 10:15 Hallelujah to the Lamb! 10:22 Hallelujah 10:24 Hallelujah to the Lamb! 10:28 Hallelujah to the Great I AM! 10:32 Hallelujah, all pain is past! 10:36 Hallelujah, we're home at last! 10:40 Hallelujah, we're home at last! 10:48 Hallelujah, we're home 10:55 We're home at last! 11:00 Home at last! 11:07 Wow, those singers really get you in the spirit, doesn't it? 11:11 And all these singers, great singers, 11:12 some came from Nashville, friends of our, 11:14 and some with their own group here. 11:16 And what a blessing that was to get together. 11:18 But again, contemplating not only the goodness of God, 11:22 in His love and His mercy, 11:24 why He would even want to come back 11:25 for frail human agents like us, 11:28 but that His love is so, so much. 11:30 The Bible says, "Eye had not seen, nor ear heard, 11:33 neither has it even entered into the heart of man, 11:35 the things that God has prepared." 11:37 And so we don't want anybody to miss. 11:40 We're gonna say "the boat". 11:41 We don't want anybody to miss the boat. 11:43 I tell people in lot of churches I go to, 11:44 we are going to service that start at seven, 11:46 say in the evening, about 6:45, 11:50 there is very people there. 11:52 By seven, there is quite a few there. 11:54 By 7:15, there will be a full house. 11:56 I say, "Most of us Christians and Adventist 11:59 are gonna miss the second coming by about 15 minutes." 12:01 I think because we are always late 12:03 for things like that. 12:04 You don't want to be late 12:06 for this engagement or this trip, 12:07 because it's an out of this world trip. 12:10 It's gonna last for eternity. 12:12 And so "Hallelujah, We're Home At Last!" 12:15 So our goal is to be here. 12:17 I would love to be alive, as all of you I'm sure would, 12:20 to see Jesus coming back. 12:21 But Jesus is coming back for a purified bride, 12:24 a purified church. 12:25 And right now we don't see that. 12:27 So there has to be revival and reformation. 12:29 Am I right, Pastor? That's right. 12:31 For Jesus to come back, 12:32 and we think we got some ideas that will help. 12:35 And so do a lot of you, 12:36 because you are joining with us. 12:37 And so, Shelley, I want you to tell us about this-- 12:41 The evangelistic team member. 12:44 Tell us how we can become one 12:45 and how did it start and how is it working. 12:47 Well, in August of 2015, the Lord gave you an idea 12:52 that as soon as Danny shared it with me 12:54 I knew, I mean, I had goose bumps, 12:57 it's the only way I can explain it. 12:59 But I knew that this was going to be 13:02 a movement of God that we continue. 13:05 It's not a program, it's part of the mission of 3ABN. 13:09 And what the Lord showed Danny, that what we want to do 13:12 is to have people team up with us 13:15 and we provide you the tools. 13:17 So to become a "Go" Evangelistic Team member, 13:21 all you do is to register. 13:24 You go on to our website, or you can mail or call, 13:27 but you register by marking for recurring donation, 13:33 a monthly donation of any amount. 13:37 And that monthly donation then is not only supporting 13:40 3ABN's 24/7 evangelism, but world evangelistic events, 13:46 a big campaign that we are gonna talk about 13:48 here in just a moment. 13:49 And I won't steal your thunder, John. 13:51 But it's not only for world evangelism, 13:55 but in your own neighborhoods. 13:58 We believe with all of our heart 14:00 that we can talk about revival and reformation from now on 14:04 and it's not really going to happen. 14:07 Personal studies, wonderful, prayer is wonderful, 14:11 but if you don't get out and share the gospel, 14:15 it's not going to-- 14:16 your heart's never gonna get revived. 14:18 So what we do is every month-- 14:21 When you first sign up, 14:23 you will get a certificate saying 14:24 that you are a member of "The Blessing is on the Go!" 14:28 evangelistic team. 14:30 And everybody is framing those and hanging them on their wall. 14:33 Then you get Danny's book that he wrote, 14:36 and it's such an inspiring book. 14:37 It's just miracles of how when God called 14:40 Danny to step out in faith, 14:43 what He taught Danny was that faith is an action word, 14:47 and the blessing was on the go. 14:49 So we get that book and then you get the tool 14:52 of the month when you sign up. 14:53 Every month they get what kind of tool? 14:55 Well, when I say tool-- 14:57 You know, I always think of 3ABN as being a tool, 15:00 an evangelistic tool in the hands of the Lord. 15:02 Well, we are now we're gonna send you either a-- 15:06 When I say tool, I'm talking about say perhaps 15:09 a DVD of a sermon or sermon series, 15:12 a CD like "Hallelujah, We're Home At Last!" 15:15 That CD is one of our tools. 15:18 It could be a program, like one of our tools 15:21 was about the Pope's visit to American. 15:23 Wonderful program, masterfully done 15:26 with you and Steve Wohlberg talking about 15:30 how Protestants of old recognized 15:34 the papal power as the authority, 15:37 the beast of Daniel 7 and Revelation 13, 15:40 but in just-- I couldn't believe 15:42 how much you all condensed, how beautifully it was-- 15:45 It was very powerful yet it was a sermon-- 15:49 I mean, it was a teaching that was very sensitive. 15:52 I wouldn't mind sharing that with anyone. 15:55 And so we send you a book or a Bible study, 15:59 and we've got all kinds of plans 16:01 because it's still new. 16:02 I mean, we just started this the latter part of August. 16:06 And-- Are people responding? 16:08 Oh, people are responding like crazy. 16:10 Just within the first eight or nine weeks, 16:13 we had over 1,600 people. 16:15 And we are getting hundreds more every week. 16:17 And it's so thrilling. 16:19 Let me tell you why I'm so excited. 16:22 When, Danny-- I know, I have to be excited. 16:24 It's all right. We love it. 16:26 When Danny first told me about this, it just hit me. 16:29 This is how the latter rain is going to be ushered in. 16:33 Because, people, when you have a passion, 16:36 if you've got the love of God in your heart 16:38 and that's how you know 16:40 if the Holy Spirit is in your heart, 16:41 because God is love and His divine essence is love. 16:45 If the Holy Spirit is in your heart, 16:47 you're gonna have love in your heart 16:49 and you'll have, you'll be empowered by God 16:51 to love Him with all of your heart, soul, mind and strength 16:54 and to love your neighbor as yourself. 16:57 And you will develop a passion for the lost and suffering. 17:00 You will develop that same burden that God feels 17:04 when He knows someone doesn't know Him. 17:07 And let me share something. 17:09 The law of life in the physical realm, 17:13 the law of life demands reproduction. 17:17 Any species that does not reproduce becomes extinct. 17:21 That's right. 17:22 It's the same in the spiritual realm. 17:25 If you are not reproducing, 17:28 everything that you are gaining, 17:31 it's just like it withers up and dries up. 17:34 And this is what's wrong with so many churches. 17:36 You know, they are just-- 17:37 they are like little country clubs, 17:39 they are not growing. 17:40 They are spiritually stagnant 17:43 because they are just ministering to one another 17:45 and they are not reproducing. 17:47 But if you become a "Blessing is on the Go!" 17:51 evangelistic team member, 17:54 I believe God is gonna bless you personally so much. 17:57 If you go out and share, He will bless your church. 17:59 And we want all of you team members out there. 18:02 Share your excitement with other people at your church. 18:06 Tell them about this, and while-- 18:08 Get more of your members involved. 18:11 And also, please share your stories with us. 18:14 We love to hear good testimonies. 18:16 Absolutely. 18:17 So you can send an email to GET, 18:22 that's for "Go" Evangelistic Team, 18:24 GET@3ABN.tv. 18:28 Send us your testimonies, send us ideas of things 18:32 that maybe there is something 18:33 that you would really like to see 18:35 that we'll put into your hands as an evangelistic tool. 18:39 And how much time do I have? Okay. 18:43 We've got all kinds of plans for-- 18:44 People can even write us. 18:46 Some folks not even doing email, 18:47 so just write us a little letter your testimony. 18:49 If you are a Go, ye evangelistic team member, 18:52 you've gotten some of the tools. 18:54 If they've helped you spiritually, 18:55 you've shared them with church members or neighbors 18:58 and you've seen some results, 18:59 because that encourages all of us. 19:01 I have said it before, Yvonne, 19:02 18 million Seventh-day Adventist 19:05 on planet earth and, you know, 19:08 I don't know how many Christians, 19:09 a billion or so in general, 19:10 but 3ABN reaches tremendous amounts of people. 19:13 And out of that, as far as monthly donors, 19:16 very few, very few monthly donors. 19:19 And so we've almost doubled the monthly donors. 19:22 Now, we get several thousand donations a month, 19:25 but it's not from people who give every month. 19:27 So what we are doing, our ministry is here, 19:30 the foundation is here. 19:31 I used to be a builder, you want a good foundation. 19:34 Our foundation is here, but our responsibilities 19:36 in evangelism going here, it topples. 19:38 So we have to have this, so I was saying, 19:40 "Lord, how are we gonna build this foundation?" 19:43 And so it's not just by giving. 19:46 Because I told the Lord we got a problem here. 19:48 I told Him 31 years ago, I'll have no begathons, 19:52 you know, You supply every need, I will go forward. 19:55 So how do you present the need to do it? 19:57 And the Lord, that's when He impressed me with this. 20:00 Its not-- you are not just asking people 20:02 to donate to your ministry, really, it's for the-- 20:05 everyone's salvation. 20:06 Not only those around us, 20:07 but so many of us out of millions, 20:10 even in our church, let alone all the rest. 20:12 I mean, thank you for the Baptists and Methodists 20:14 and numbers of you who have supported 3ABN financially. 20:17 Thank you so much. 20:19 But for all of us, Shelley, it's for our own good. 20:22 We have to be involved in ministry. 20:24 But people say, "Well, I'm alone. 20:26 Or I'm old, I can't do anything anymore. 20:28 Or well, you know, I just have this problem. 20:30 Or I'm raising my children right now." 20:32 You can't be too busy for Jesus. 20:34 So we have to stay focused. How does this happen? 20:37 When you send this donation. 20:39 And so we are trying to make it where anybody can do it. 20:41 So that way, somebody say, 20:42 "Well, I would love to be, but I can't afford. 20:44 I can only give $10 a month." That's fine. 20:46 We will send you each one of this 20:49 "Hallelujah, We're Home At Last!" CD. 20:50 You listen to it, when you are encouraged, 20:52 you share it with family members, 20:54 with neighbors, with whomever 20:56 and ask them when they are done just pass these around. 20:59 But you will see when you get involved in evangelism, 21:02 it becomes infectious. 21:04 You can't quit. Absolutely. 21:05 It's like as they say down home, 21:07 Stay and stick him to a dog. 21:08 You just want to keep going and you can't help it. 21:11 And so that's why when Shelley and I 21:14 and rest of us, all of us were talking, 21:15 we said, you know what, this is of the Lord. 21:18 Because when you are supportive of 3ABN, 21:21 it helps our base, financial base 21:23 as our responsibilities continue to grow 21:25 and our outreach grows, but it helps you, personally, 21:29 and it helps those that you know. 21:31 And this way, you don't have to be a preacher, 21:33 you don't have to be a teacher, say like, John or Yvonne. 21:36 You will have the tools in your hand 21:38 to literally build for the kingdom of God. 21:40 I was a carpenter for many years. 21:42 I had tools. 21:43 I had to have my hammer, right, a saw, chisels. 21:47 You have to do all kinds of them. 21:48 You know, my speed squares and the whole shoot match. 21:51 Well, this is tools for the kingdom of God. 21:53 And so we are gonna give those to you absolutely free. 21:57 And so we appreciate you joining this, 21:59 because it's a monthly commitment. 22:01 Now you can do it in Europe, 22:02 you can do it anywhere in the world. 22:04 Go to PayPal and you can make this-- 22:06 Used to it was hard to get the money changed over 22:09 or people to give, but now it's really very easy. 22:12 You can just go to PayPal, go to the Internet, 22:14 go to PayPal and you can-- whether you are in Europe, 22:17 whether you are in South America, 22:18 wherever you are, you can donate to 3ABN. 22:21 So we are asking those of you around the world church 22:23 to help us also do this. 22:25 It helps 3ABN this way, 22:27 but also, we believe it's a movement 22:29 as Shelley said, that could really bring about 22:32 revival and reformation. 22:33 Because we all have to get involved for this to happen. 22:35 That's right. 22:36 And this is all about mission and that-- 22:38 I mean, about evangelism. 22:40 That's been 3ABNs mission from the very beginning. 22:43 But I wanted to say one more thing before I let go, 22:46 is that when you receive your evangelistic tool, 22:50 whatever it is, prayerfully ask the Lord, 22:53 "To whom should I give this, with whom should I share?" 22:57 And, you know, the beautiful thing about, 22:59 as you said, it becomes infectious, 23:01 is that once you give out that tool, 23:03 keep praying for the person that you shared the tool with. 23:09 And then you have graduated 23:11 to the highest ministry on earth, 23:14 and that is ministry of intercessory, 23:17 because that is the ministry of our risen exalted Savior. 23:21 Hebrews 7:25 says that, "He stands at the right hand 23:24 of the throne of Father 23:25 interceding constantly on our behalf." 23:28 And as you intercede for those people 23:30 to whom you give these products, 23:33 you will see how God is changing your life. 23:36 Your turn. 23:38 Okay, I praise the Lord for your desire, 23:41 your passion because I'm of the-- 23:44 From opinion if you are not excited about 23:45 what you do, do something else. 23:47 Don't wake up in the morning and go to the office. 23:50 When I was in Florida, I read the statistic once 23:52 because I was working for messenger service 23:54 many, many years ago 23:56 before the Lord opened the door on ministry. 23:57 And I arrived at a big AT&T building. 24:02 I was delivering computer paper, 24:04 you know, all this skill delivering computer paper. 24:06 It was shortly after that 24:07 that I prayed to be in the ministry, 24:09 and here I'm now almost 29 years later. 24:11 But I remember seeing an executive 24:13 get carted out on a gurney, and dressed up nicely said. 24:17 I said, "What happened?" 24:18 "He had heart attack," they said. 24:20 Do you know that Monday morning, 24:21 more heart attacks happen on Monday morning 24:23 than any other day of the week? 24:24 And I came to find out why. 24:25 It said more people show up at jobs 24:27 that they don't like, 24:28 but they do it just because that's where 24:30 they get their financial support. 24:31 We don't do that here at 3ABN. 24:33 When we wake up in the morning, Johnny can tell you this, 24:35 you know, he's just so much of the ministry 24:38 of going to the Latino countries here in America 24:40 as well as around the world. 24:41 We get up in the morning 24:43 and say, what else can we add to our plate. 24:45 Because our plates are full when the day comes, 24:47 but I thought about this, when it comes to evangelism. 24:49 You know, not only is the word 24:51 "Go ye therefore" is New Testament phrase 24:53 but when Jesus was-- 24:55 when God was speaking to Isaiah, 24:57 there was a conversation. 24:59 God had had a conversation, "Who will go for us?" 25:03 And then He said, "Here I am. Send me." 25:05 And then He said to him, "Go and tell," 25:09 those are the three words 25:10 that Isaiah received this commission long before 25:13 Matthew was even thought of. 25:15 "Go and tell the people." So those three words really-- 25:19 What evangelism here at 3ABN is a go and tell factor. 25:22 We talk about evangelism. 25:24 A lot of times, people think of evangelism 25:25 as a single event. 25:27 This is not single event evangelism, 25:30 this is life changing, 25:32 this is participatory evangelism. 25:34 If each of us believes that Jesus is coming soon, 25:36 and each of us believes that we are gonna get a crown, 25:38 I'm speaking like a New Yorker, you did this to me, Shelley. 25:43 Praise the Lord. 25:44 If each of us believes that the crown 25:46 and the stars will represent someone we led to Christ, 25:50 then we got to get busy, 25:52 because, "The harvest is ripe, but the laborers are few." 25:55 And so we are saying for the first time, 25:58 this is what's making this different. 26:00 Because the word "evangelism" is not a new word, 26:03 but so often evangelism has been, 26:05 you know, on February whatever or March whatever, 26:07 we have an evangelistic series. 26:09 We think of building up to it, 26:11 the series then cooling down after. 26:14 No, this is wave evangelism. 26:18 Okay. Lifestyle evangelism. 26:19 Right, perpetual way-- it starts. 26:22 We are beginning this now, 26:24 but we don't intend for this evangelism to end 26:27 until Jesus either shuts us down or He returns. 26:30 Amen, to that? Amen. 26:31 So we are talking about the tools will cause you 26:35 to become a vessel through which others now 26:38 receive the message. 26:39 And they will become the tool through which others-- 26:42 You saw that commercial years ago, 26:43 you tell two friends and so on and so on and so on and so on. 26:46 This is called "exponential evangelism". 26:48 So even when we have an evangelistic series, 26:51 like what's happening in London next year, 26:53 when you get ready for the series, 26:55 there are gonna be satellites series 26:56 getting ready for that. 26:58 A ground game before the satellite series. 27:00 The satellite series getting ready for the main meeting, 27:02 the main meeting getting ready for the perpetual wave 27:04 that will carry forth in the lives of everyone 27:07 that attend the series. 27:08 So, Danny, what we are doing differently here at 3ABN, 27:10 we are talking about developing the materials, 27:12 is everybody-- that everyone that 27:14 ever attends a series at 3ABN halls 27:17 from this day forth, will go forth equipped 27:20 to have their own personal evangelism in their home. 27:22 Amen. Okay. 27:23 And the people that they evangelize 27:25 will now evangelize someone else. 27:27 Now we are gonna be establishing a website 27:28 starting in New Year, 27:30 so that these resources will be downloadable. 27:32 So you won't have to say, "Well, I didn't get mine yet." 27:34 You will be able to go and download 27:36 if you have access to the Internet. 27:38 So that's what we are right now. 27:40 The go and tell is the commission, 27:41 not just to the Old Testament church, 27:44 but to the New Testament church. 27:46 We are gonna tell you, you tell others 27:47 and so on and so forth. 27:48 And when everybody knows what's gonna happen, 27:51 Jesus will come. 27:53 My brother-- 27:54 I just have to say, you just kind of slid that in, 27:56 in such a-- like, here we are gonna be in London, 28:01 and I'm sitting there thinking, I was going... 28:03 Drum roll. Okay. 28:05 We are going to London. 28:06 That's right. And you know what? 28:08 Let me just add these components. 28:09 We've visited London already. We had a meeting with the... 28:12 Conference president. Conference president. 28:14 And in the strategic sense of video, 28:19 we had a wonderful video meeting there too. 28:21 And he said, on video, "We are committing 28:25 our conference to evangelism 2016." 28:30 And London is not an easy city, neither is New York. 28:32 Very secular. 28:34 But one of the first things 28:35 is when you get the conference president 28:37 and the pastors onboard and the members onboard, 28:40 all of the sudden you begin to realize, 28:42 evangelism of thousands of people, 28:44 that's not that hard. 28:46 Because if the Lord turned the world upside down 28:48 in 34 years with just 12, 28:50 and the exponential outpouring of the Spirit of God continues 28:52 to multiply the church daily, then we know that London-- 28:56 People say it's difficult, 28:57 but the prophet asked the question, 29:01 "Is there anything too hard for God?" 29:03 Right. 29:05 And the answer is, "I can do all things through Christ." 29:06 And who did the Lord-- 29:09 How did the Lord pick out the person 29:11 who is going to be the main evangelist? 29:17 Well, we talked to Elder John Carter, 29:20 the conference president there, 29:22 and Brother DeLisser in England, 29:25 who asked about him in London, and said-- 29:27 John was gonna go there a few years ago, 29:30 and he said, "Is he still interested?" 29:31 So we called him and we prayed about it, 29:33 we called him. 29:34 John said, "Let me pray about it." 29:37 Then he said, "You know what, 29:38 I really don't have to pray about it." 29:40 See, Jesus said, "Go ye into all the world." 29:42 He said, "I don't have to pray about it 29:44 but I'm doing campaigns in Russia." 29:46 This guy waits till January to go to Russia. 29:50 I mean, the coldest time of the year, 29:52 and I ask him before, I said, 29:53 "Well, why do you pick some of these coldest times." 29:56 And he said, "Danny, I'm a pastor. 29:59 I have to take my vacations. So I take my vacations. 30:02 I get to winter one." 30:03 So he will do his Christmas and New Years 30:05 doing evangelism around the world, 30:07 in some of these really hard climates of the world, 30:10 but that shows his commitment. 30:12 So he said, "I really don't have to pray about it. 30:15 If 3ABN supports it, all of you at 3ABN, 30:18 and if the conference over there, 30:21 the church wants us there to join together," 30:24 he said, "I don't think 3ABN is got the resources, 30:27 the conference doesn't have them. 30:29 Carter Report doesn't have them." 30:31 But together, we do, to make this-- 30:33 Literally turn London upside down. 30:35 So when Elder Carter goes, he has a history 30:38 of drawing Johnny in Central America, 30:40 what with 55,000 people a night there were-- 30:42 Yes, between 55 and 60,000 people a night. 30:45 A night. Sustained. 30:46 But he knows how to go in, 30:48 they pass out 10 tons of flyers through the area, 30:50 they do television, secular television, radio, billboards, 30:55 and they put a lot of money 30:56 into advertising but get a facility. 30:59 So this is gonna be huge, and this is-- 31:01 Hopefully, we believe this is gonna be the biggest. 31:04 I'm talking with the conference, 31:05 the biggest evangelistic series in the history of London. 31:09 And we can't do it with your help. 31:10 So thank you for your love and prayers 31:11 and financial support. 31:13 In Europe, we want you to jump in 31:14 and help us on this, because we are coming your way. 31:17 So you can always go to PayPal 31:19 and any donations you want to give also, 31:21 just say, "London campaign." 31:23 We promise you we will put that in the account, 31:25 it won't be spent for anything expect London. 31:27 So we are thankful to Pastor John Carter, 31:29 the Carter Report, his whole team. 31:32 Nobody in the Adventist church that I know, 31:34 or may be any church, knows how to plan 31:36 and to get a plan and to go into a place 31:40 and to do, I would say, such a huge-- 31:44 Take on such a huge responsibility 31:46 and do it so well as Pastor Carter does. 31:49 And so that's one reason 31:50 we are excited to join hands with him. 31:52 Not only does he know the Word of God, 31:54 and he is a great preacher and teacher, 31:56 but he has an organization that has a lot more experience 32:00 and we do for instance in that so-- 32:01 He knows the art of public evangelism. 32:03 That's really what it is. Yeah. 32:05 It's just like Billy Graham has that art. 32:07 But, you know, one thing that I was gonna say 32:09 about this whole situation 32:11 is that we all should be excited. 32:14 London is such a secular society. 32:17 The-- what we are seeing there 32:19 is that church growth has been lagging. 32:22 I mean, it's just not-- Nose diving really. 32:24 It's nose diving. 32:25 And as we get the people involved, 32:29 the members involved to support this, 32:31 we know that it's going to help. 32:32 They are gonna be blessed. 32:34 But we all need to be excited, 32:36 because every soul is precious to God. 32:38 He died for each one of them. 32:40 And what you see in London, 32:42 it's not gonna be just the campaign that's there, 32:44 but it will be broadcast over 3ABN as well. 32:47 Around the world. 32:48 Around the world, and then that's not gonna be 32:52 our only major campaign, because that's what 32:54 you are here for, is world evangelism. 32:56 That's the prototype, 32:57 and so we are really setting a stage 32:59 to make this the fingerprint of evangelism. 33:03 What's so wonderful about this, 33:05 and I think I like the way you put this, Shelley, 33:07 you know, there is the Elijah and Elisha and me-- 33:11 John learning from John, see this not Elijah, 33:15 Elisha but John and John. 33:17 John Carter teaching John Lomacang 33:19 from all the years of experience. 33:20 I met him back in 1984 33:22 when I was in Heritage Singers over in-- 33:24 when he was packing out 33:25 the Sydney Opera House in a secular city, 33:28 every night packing that place out. 33:30 And I thought-- when we heard about this, 33:32 John Carter we met at the-- "Wow, this is the guy that 33:35 packed out the Sydney Opera House." 33:37 Well, every place he's gone whether-- 33:40 whether in a third world country 33:41 or wherever he's gone, 33:43 even to major cities, he's packed it out. 33:45 And so God has given him an art. 33:47 You have to understand marketing. 33:48 Marketing is a significant part 33:50 of getting your product out there, 33:51 and he is learned and he is experienced, 33:53 and so praise God. 33:54 I can learn from a man with that kind of experience. 33:57 The gospel is the same for all of us, 33:58 but two things you need more than the gospel, 34:00 you need the passion for the message 34:02 and you need the knowledge of how to get 34:03 that message out there. 34:05 And we don't want to be destroyed 34:06 for lack of knowledge. 34:07 But I don't want to take all the time, 34:09 because there's another John here 34:10 that wants to put some five cents in here, 34:12 not two cents, right? 34:14 Well, you know, it's exciting to hear 34:16 the excitement in everybody's voices. 34:18 And we do not have seatbelts on, 34:21 but somehow, we are staying sitting down, 34:24 because what God has done and what God is about to do 34:27 is beyond our understanding. 34:29 Absolutely. 34:30 I said it for years that 34:31 God is setting the stage for a great harvest. 34:35 And with this "Go" Evangelism 34:38 and the "Blessing is on the Go!" 34:40 and I've heard the words movement, 34:43 it's all about activity to get the gospel to the people. 34:47 You know, and we talk about the tools, 34:49 you know, just before they-- 34:51 I'm almost going to say, "Where are the tools?" 34:54 They get another one. 34:56 So it keeps them busy with ideas 34:58 on how to get the gospel out. 35:00 At 3ABN Latino, we are gonna mirror 35:02 what 3ABN is doing. 35:04 We are praising the Lord, 35:06 one of our own has already translated the book, 35:09 "The Blessing is on the Go!" 35:11 And has been looked over, over here 35:13 and we are happy with the translation. 35:16 But it's gonna get a final look to make sure that 35:18 when it goes out there, it's exactly the way 35:22 it's supposed to be. 35:24 So we will have some in Spanish, 35:26 and Danny has authorized about, what is it, 5,000 copies? 35:31 So this is gonna be a tool in the hands of people. 35:34 And it's interesting, when the Spanish people 35:35 get their hands on something, 35:37 they don't just keep it to themselves, 35:39 they, they pass it out, you know. 35:42 And it's going to, it's going to-- 35:44 like the ripple effect. 35:46 It's exciting what God is doing. 35:48 You know, we didn't jump immediately 35:50 on "The Blessing is on the Go!" 35:52 I've been traveling to, 35:53 you know, you mentioned Guatemala. 35:55 When I was in Guatemala preaching for two weeks, 35:57 and it's amazing how many people watch 3ABN 36:02 Latino over there. 36:03 Idalia and I want to a market to get some ideas 36:07 on what she was going to use 36:09 for the cooking program she was doing. 36:10 She was doing cooking classes before the evangelistic series 36:13 that I was preaching during the evening. 36:14 She was also singing the appeal song. 36:17 And in the market, people, 36:18 "Hey, I watch you, I seen your before." 36:21 It happened several times in the same-- 36:23 While walking through one isle, 36:25 they have to go through another one, it happens again. 36:26 So you know people are watching this thing, 36:28 and the Lord has been-- 36:29 You know, 3ABN Latino is 12 years old, 36:32 and it's like He, the Lord has been setting the foundation 36:35 because you talk to pastors, they love 3ABN, you talk-- 36:39 We conference presidents and we are so glad for 3ABN. 36:43 Just got back from Mexico, an evangelistic campaign, 36:46 Danny, you know our Pastor Alejandro Bujon. 36:48 You went to Brazil, 36:49 met him there about 1988, I think it was. 36:51 Long time ago. Long time ago. 36:53 God is still using this man, 36:55 you know, and this was 16,000 people 37:00 came on Saturday for this evangelistic campaign 37:02 with Pastor Alejandro Bujon in Monterrey, Mexico. 37:05 And the wonderful thing about Monterrey, Mexico 37:07 is that 3ABN Latino has been on cable 37:10 back, started in, like, 2006, 2004-2006, 37:15 and the amount of people 37:17 that have been baptized into the churches, 37:20 they are just overwhelmed with what God has done. 37:24 So this was like a reaping crusade, 37:26 and it's interesting. 37:27 Well, one of the conference president-- 37:29 I met the conference president, the union president, 37:31 all happy with 3ABN, and Danny and I were hosting 37:33 this thing and introducing Bujon. 37:36 And the conference and the union, 37:38 they were the ones paying 37:40 for all of the evangelistic campaign, 37:43 but they wanted us to host 37:44 because they wanted this to be on 3ABN. 37:47 And they said, "You know, it's like people know 37:51 that Pastor Bujon is gonna make an appeal for baptism. 37:55 And I think people just come to respond to the baptism." 37:59 Because when the appeal was made, 38:02 we're talking about 16,000 people, 38:03 people coming from so many different places to say, 38:07 "Yes, I want to be baptized." 38:09 So he saw these people come the first night, 38:12 then the second night, 38:13 he says, "We are now asking people to come for baptism. 38:16 If you came last night, don't come again. 38:19 We are gonna give new people an opportunity." 38:21 And again, people come down and, you know, you are like, 38:24 "Wow, the Lord is doing. 38:25 The Holy Spirit is moving." 38:27 And that's what we are trying to encourage people to do, 38:30 catch the vision that God is pouring out His Holy Spirit 38:34 and we need to say, "Here I'm, Lord, use me." 38:37 So we're empowering people with tools, 38:41 and I think-- what I've seen for years 38:44 is people seem to be waiting for something. 38:47 You know, when you got the idea to give away 38:50 the "Ten Commandments Twice Removed", 38:53 people were asking for those books 38:55 like you just offered them, 38:57 you know, the key to get into heaven. 38:59 Because they were asking for books, 39:01 because they were gonna wanting to pass these out. 39:03 We want the people to catch again their vision, 39:07 because the blessing is on the go. 39:10 And so we want to do the same thing with 3ABN Latino 39:13 and sign the people on. 39:15 And we believe this is just going to-- 39:19 you know, a forest fire starts with one little spark. 39:23 Amen. 39:24 So we want this to grow 39:27 so that people are excited in their churches 39:29 that they just can't sit there to say, 39:32 "I want to tell you what God has done this week. 39:34 I used 'The Blessing is on the Go!' tool 39:37 and this is what happened." 39:39 Absolutely. 39:40 You know, I was thinking about something, 39:42 and this kept going through my mind 39:43 as I'm sitting here, and I don't know why. 39:44 You even get those thoughts in your mind 39:46 and you go, "Where this is coming from?" 39:48 And I was thinking of a flood and, you know, the thought 39:51 that came to my mind was in Revelation 39:53 when the woman, the church was being severely attacked 39:57 by the enemy during the Dark Ages. 39:59 And the Bible says, the enemy, 40:01 "the serpent sent a flood out of his mouth after the woman 40:05 to cause her to be carried away by the flood." 40:08 And I thought about that and I said, "Lord, 40:10 well, what is that mean?" 40:11 He says, "Well, the flood of the world, 40:12 the flood of worldliness and compromise 40:15 and the flood of secularism. 40:16 This world is flooding the church. 40:18 The churches are-- 40:19 The church is being carried away by a flood." 40:22 And I thought what is-- and I'm sitting here, 40:24 the Lord is just developing this thought in my mind 40:26 and I kept-- I wanted to say it earlier, 40:27 but I wasn't clear yet. 40:30 And now, it just came clear me. 40:31 He says, "The church is being carried away by a flood." 40:34 And then He said, "How do you stop a flood?" 40:36 And I thought, "Well, what are they using?" 40:39 And He gave me the picture of the sandbag. 40:42 I said, "But sandbag?" 40:43 He said, "Each grain of sand, isn't it very tiny. 40:47 One gain of sand can't stop a flood, 40:48 but if they get together they can." 40:50 Wow. 40:51 And I thought, "Lord, so are you saying to us 40:54 we're grains of sand. 40:56 You want us to get together, 40:58 unite around the world to stop the flood 41:00 that's washing the church away." 41:02 How right. Oh, yeah. 41:03 Okay, I wasn't thinking that before I got here, 41:04 but as I was sitting here, from what the Lord-- 41:07 That God is showing us, it's coming after the church 41:10 to cause the church to be carried away by it. 41:13 The devil has done the same thing. 41:14 So now this evangelism, 41:16 if I can put this where God is guiding me I feel, 41:19 is the church needs to join together 41:20 not just for the world, but for its own sustenance. 41:24 Absolutely. 41:25 A church that's not joined together 41:27 will be washed away. 41:28 While we are helping the world, 41:29 we cannot be washed away ourselves. 41:31 Yes. Yeah, absolutely. 41:32 The world is being washed away. 41:33 It's secular, it's corrupt, it's polluted, it's sexually 41:36 and more or less dark, it's perverted. 41:38 And stay tuned to 3ABN to hear the rest of the sermon. 41:41 That's a good sermon. 41:43 You are gonna have fully developed that. 41:45 That may be, that may be-- 41:46 That's the sermon title, "Sandbags". 41:48 Sandbag, I love it. 41:49 This may end up being a whole series you preach on, isn't it? 41:51 Sandbags. It is. 41:53 God gives me these crazy titles, 41:54 but that's what happening. 41:56 So I could see now, God is saying, 41:57 we are not just talking about saving the world, 42:00 but I want my church to be saved. 42:01 Absolutely. 42:03 So they got to get together for their own salvation. 42:04 And you can sense that God is doing 42:06 something around the world. 42:09 Not just here that, you know, as Father Johnny talked, 42:13 you know, Central America, South America, Africa, Europe, 42:18 you know we need to-- Asia. 42:19 Asia and all over the world, because Jesus is coming. 42:23 I often think about the idea 42:26 that if you know that somebody is getting ready 42:28 to go into a burning building, 42:30 you have to stop them from doing it. 42:32 If you know something that's gonna save someone, 42:36 you have to give it to them. 42:37 And we know that Jesus saves, 42:39 and we have to give that to the world. 42:42 So that's what this is all about, 42:44 just sharing it and getting into 42:47 this whole movement of God. 42:49 Because you just-- we just know that 42:50 God is doing something great. 42:52 You know, I love to watch God work, 42:54 and that instead of getting discouraged 42:56 in your lifetime, 42:58 that's when you trust God and go forward. 42:59 Someone just emailed me and asked me, 43:01 "How do you know that God is real?" 43:04 I haven't had a chance to answer, 43:05 because I didn't want to do it just really quickly. 43:07 But first of all, He lives within my heart. 43:09 I experience Him. 43:11 And once you experience the Lord, 43:12 but I love seeing the-- 43:14 Because people get discouraged in churches, 43:16 and that's what the devil uses that, 43:18 Shelley, to keep us from listening 43:21 and reading and studying, 43:23 because we are so worried about our finances, 43:25 worried about this, worried about that, 43:26 worried about health, all of these things. 43:29 So many distractions. 43:30 And so what we want to do when the devil is doing that, 43:32 when you continue to trust God, He this-- 43:36 He becomes-- He is a creator. 43:38 Right? Yes. 43:39 And so He creates beautiful things 43:41 around the ugly circumstances of sin, 43:43 death, disease and sickness and all of those. 43:45 But even in the ministry when you go forward, 43:47 Satan is always there. 43:49 But the mountains can be moved. 43:51 Yesterday, you got some news that was good news. 43:54 It turned out that it looked like 43:56 in one of the satellites that we weren't gonna beyond that-- 44:02 Some people weren't gonna be getting 3ABN, 44:05 and so they were saying, "Well, we won't be getting this." 44:08 And not only turns out well, they'll be getting it, 44:10 we talked to Moses yesterday, 44:12 he said, "Dare to Dream is also gonna be in Africa 44:15 on several large stations around." 44:18 We can send-- Oh, wonderful. 44:19 So they will use it, they want to do 44:21 the "Dare to Dream" programming, 44:22 but when we were looking at it, it looked like wow, 44:24 we are gonna miss out on covering this with 3ABN. 44:27 We not only got 3ABN, getting "Dare to Dream" also. 44:30 I mean, God loves to create beautiful circumstances 44:34 when things look tough. 44:35 So what we want to encourage you today, 44:37 do not be discouraged. 44:39 The reason the gospel has not gone to the world, 44:42 Satan has come against everyone of us. 44:45 And somehow, he manages to get our eyes off of Jesus 44:49 and onto our circumstances. 44:51 So we want to tell you 44:52 that's why the blessing is on the go. 44:54 We've said it before, "Jesus doesn't need us 44:57 to save someone else." 44:59 If I'm a Christian, He doesn't really 45:00 have to have me to get-- 45:02 Make sure, Shelley gives her life to Him. 45:04 It's the Holy Spirit who does it. 45:06 What a privilege that He says, "You know what, 45:08 if you submit and commit your life to me, 45:11 go and tell what I've done for you, 45:12 I'll use you as a channel of blessing to someone else." 45:16 So as I'm witnessing to Shelley, 45:18 guess who really is blessed. 45:19 I am, because you know what, now I begin to think 45:22 in the spiritual instead of the physical. 45:24 So we need to get to the point that as Hebrews 11, 45:28 we are so adjourned or strangers, 45:30 we are looking at far off, 45:31 because what they saw was the finish line. 45:35 They saw the end result. 45:36 So you and me today, instead of worrying about 45:38 what's happening around us right here, as we study 45:42 and we pray and we submit our life to the Lord 45:44 and then go and tell others, 45:46 you become a part of the evangelistic, 45:48 Go Ye Evangelistic team members. 45:50 We send you this DVDs, CDs, the books. 45:53 Please don't give them away without reading them 45:56 or watching the programs or studying them yourself, 46:00 because that's what we are trying to do. 46:01 We want all of us need to be encouraged by someone else. 46:04 A pastor like John, he can preach, 46:07 and preach and preach, but he needs to be fed too. 46:10 So when John gets his, John will listen to his. 46:12 And a lot of times, I respect him, he will say, 46:14 "I was listening to Brother Byrd the other day, 46:17 and he said, such and such. 46:18 Or I was listening to-- " 46:19 That tells me you are being fed. 46:21 So what we are doing, this go ye, 46:24 "The Blessing is on the Go!" 46:25 and that's why the Lord is saying, 46:27 "I'm gonna-- for your own salvation, 46:30 you need to be witnessing to others about me, 46:33 because now, you will be able to live 46:35 in the spiritual and not just the physical." 46:37 Yes, we are in a physical world, 46:39 but we see that "Greater is he that is in us, 46:41 than he that is in the world." 46:43 And so I believe that that's what this go 46:45 ye is all about, Shelley, is for each of-- 46:48 For each of us, our own salvation. 46:50 So we encourage you to join the 3ABN 46:53 Go Ye Evangelistic team, if you are not already. 46:56 And, you know, you always say "The blessing on the go." 47:00 I say the blessing is on the "Go" Evangelistic Team, 47:05 the GET, the "Go" Evangelistic Team. 47:08 I want to just want to point out 47:09 this is something that is so simple. 47:11 It doesn't matter if you are nine to ninety, 47:14 you can participate. 47:15 And it is a blessing. 47:17 And I love what you said about 47:19 looking and reviewing the materials yourself, 47:21 because already, we've got a testimony from a woman 47:23 who was watching the interview 47:26 that you and Steve Wohlberg had done, 47:28 and said that-- she wanted to see 47:31 if it was appropriate to share with other people, 47:33 and she was blessed and even inspired to do 47:38 more study in Revelation by that. 47:41 So but don't ever worry that if you think 47:43 you are gonna give something out, and you-- 47:45 Somebody might ask you a question 47:48 that you don't know the answer to, 47:49 have them call 3ABN. 47:51 We will be happy to do-- we are your support, 47:53 we are your team member. 47:55 That's right. Okay, Johnny. 47:58 Two things I want to say that, I believe 3ABN 48:03 is one of the greatest evangelistic tools 48:06 the Lord has given to get the gospel out. 48:10 Over and over again, we hear of people 48:13 watch the programming and they are ready for baptism. 48:17 And so I want to encourage people 48:18 to talk to people about the 3ABN app for the phones, 48:22 3ABN app for their tablets. 48:25 I mean, we've met so many people 48:26 and that we start talking to them, and we say, 48:29 "Oh, we meet in Walmart and starts talking to them 48:32 about cooking and things like that. 48:34 "Oh, watch 3ABN," she says, "Watch 3ABN." 48:37 And it's a tool, you can point people to the webpage, 48:40 and it's there. 48:42 They can watch 3ABN and get ready. 48:45 Like people are-- there is a harvest 48:48 that needs to be harvested and we need to go. 48:54 This, this, yesterday, I was preparing an article. 48:58 And I've come to the conclusion 49:00 that I'm afraid not to answer the phone, 49:02 because I'm not-- I put myself last 49:04 on the list of our 3ABN Latino staff 49:06 to get the phones, and it came by me 49:11 and I have to ask myself, 49:12 "May be the Lord sent that call for me to answer 49:14 instead of somebody else." 49:16 So I'm typing the article, I got to get it done, 49:18 but here is the call. 49:20 So I answer, I answer the phone. 49:22 And so the man wanted the Great Controversy 49:24 that was being offered on the program on 3ABN Latino. 49:27 And I said, "Sure, we'll be glad to send that to you." 49:30 And then he says, "Who am I talking to?" 49:32 I said, "This is John Dinzey." 49:34 "Oh, John Dinzey, I'm so glad you answered the phone. 49:37 I want to tell you that 3ABN Latino has transformed my life. 49:42 I am a different person." 49:44 He is calling from our Las Vegas downlink over there. 49:47 "I am a different person, 49:49 and one of my great desires is to be baptized," he says. 49:53 And I said, "Praise the Lord. Praise the Lord." 49:56 And he says, "I need to find a Seventh-day Adventist church. 49:58 Can you help me?" "Of course we can help you." 50:01 And so you know I'm afraid not to answer the phone, 50:03 because your gonna get a testimony like this. 50:06 And it's amazing, amazing what God is doing 50:08 and I want to encourage people. 50:10 Get-- become a member of the "Go" Evangelistic Team. 50:13 All right, Shelley. 50:15 Yeah, but real quick, 50:16 this thing is just going nuts in my head here. 50:19 This whole thing about the flood 50:20 that the devil is trying to use. 50:22 Oh, here we. 50:23 I got to give you, I mean, I'm writing this 50:24 as I'm sitting here. 50:26 But look at how the devil works. 50:27 The Lord used a flood to get rid of sin, 50:31 Satan wants to use a flood to get rid of righteousness. 50:33 Oh, get read of the church. 50:35 But here is God, God said it ain't going to work, 50:38 because that Bible says 50:39 the earth opened its mouth and swallowed up the flood. 50:42 That's right. I mean God has-- 50:43 I may have to excuse myself 50:45 and go right a song real quick about this. 50:47 You know the earth opening-- 50:49 So God chose America 50:52 to stop the devil from destroying the church. 50:55 But now in America, God has chosen through 3ABN, 50:58 because America is going down the tubes. 51:00 But God has raised up still in this place called Earth, 51:04 God has raised up a ministry to counteract the counterfeit 51:07 to swallow up the flood 51:08 that the dragon has spewed after the women. 51:10 So I'm excited about where it's going 51:12 to counteract the counterfeit, that's the whole purpose 51:14 of the earth opening it's mouth. 51:16 We have two minutes left, don't you love it 51:18 when your host and co-host and-- 51:20 Poor Yvonne, she sat here 51:21 and has said three words really. 51:23 Sorry. But it's good though, right? 51:24 Oh, I said your three. 51:27 But you know, some of what you said was actually 51:29 what I was going to say, you know, about praying 51:31 before you give it away and all that. 51:33 So, I mean, the passion that's here is so-- 51:37 It's infectious and it's just, it's wonderful. 51:39 And it's, it is meaningful 51:41 because we are determined to get this word out. 51:45 Absolutely. We're determined. 51:47 We have just a minute and something left. 51:48 What I'd like to so is may be 51:50 ask you at home to join with us. 51:52 And, Shelley, I want you to just say a prayer. 51:54 Sure. 51:55 And we'd like the folks at home to really pray 51:56 and ask the Lord what he would have you to do. 51:59 We want to see thousands of people join. 52:02 It's not only support 3ABN, but it supports yourself 52:05 and those that Jesus has assigned to you 52:08 in your area to reach. 52:09 And so by working together, 52:11 we literally can reach the world for the Lord. 52:14 It's not 3ABN doing it, you're just giving money 52:16 and we do it it's bringing it back to you. 52:18 We provide you the tools, and that's the beauty. 52:20 That's why I know and serve the Lord, 52:22 it's not just ministry, send me all your money, 52:25 send me your money. 52:27 No, we're saying you do that 52:28 and it helps us to send out these tools. 52:30 'Cause all this is expensive and costs money, 52:32 but this is the way to get the gospel to the world. 52:35 Please consider joining if you haven't already. 52:38 Those of you that have, go to church, let people know, 52:41 your church members, what is happening. 52:43 "Hey I've joined this go evangelistic team, 52:46 and I'm getting the blessings and I'm getting these, 52:48 you know, I'm getting involved in evangelism." 52:51 Well, I cannot believe it, time is just disappearing. 52:53 We got some much to talk about. 52:55 We're gonna go out and in prayer today 52:57 and we want to ask you to pray with us. 52:59 Lord, what would you have me to do in support of 3ABN, 53:03 and the Go Ye Evangelistic team? 53:05 We would like to join hands with you to do it. 53:07 But, Johnny, before we go to prayer, 53:09 you have something that I can see. 53:11 You can look around and see everybody is excited in here. 53:13 What do you want to share with us? 53:15 Well I-- you know, we're talking about 53:17 putting tools in the hands of people, 53:19 and I would like to encourage people 53:21 that when they get the tool, they think this, 53:24 "This is a soul winning tool, so I can't let it sit." 53:27 Amen. "I have to use it." 53:29 Okay. Great. Great. Amen. 53:31 Lanny Wolfe wrote a song, says something like, 53:33 "My house is full but my field is empty." 53:35 Says, "Who will go and work for me today?" 53:38 You know. Yes. 53:40 It says that that his children 53:41 all want to stay around the table, 53:44 but who will go and work for me. 53:46 And then in the second verse says like, 53:47 "Push away from the table."
