00:01:17.01\00:01:20.18

00:01:20.21\00:01:21.64
And with me my co-host
today, Dr. Yvonne Lewis.
00:01:21.68\00:01:23.98
Hey.
00:01:24.01\00:01:25.35
Yvonne, it's always
good to have you here.
00:01:25.38\00:01:26.72
Oh, it's always good to be here.
00:01:26.75\00:01:28.08
And I don't think
I could have kept you
00:01:28.12\00:01:29.62
from being on this program
00:01:29.65\00:01:30.99
'cause one of
your dear friends...
00:01:31.02\00:01:32.39
Absolutely.
00:01:32.42\00:01:33.76
Is on here, right?
00:01:33.79\00:01:35.12
Absolutely, my precious Julia.
00:01:35.16\00:01:37.66
Go ahead, why
don't you introduce them.
00:01:37.69\00:01:39.76
This is Julia Outkina
00:01:39.79\00:01:41.53
and she is the General
Manager of 3ABN Russia.
00:01:41.56\00:01:45.77
That's right, Dr. Julia Outkina.
00:01:45.80\00:01:47.70
I should say Dr. Julia Outkina.
00:01:47.74\00:01:50.07
Absolutely and you
went to Russia yourself.
00:01:50.11\00:01:54.91
I did,
00:01:54.94\00:01:56.28
it was amazing,
I'd never been there.
00:01:56.31\00:01:58.58
And you know, you
don't know what to expect,
00:01:58.61\00:02:01.05
the people were wonderful,
00:02:01.08\00:02:03.18
I went in a mall, I was happy.
00:02:03.22\00:02:06.02
Oh, yeah, get her in a mall,
00:02:06.05\00:02:07.92
and most women
aren't they happy, right?
00:02:07.96\00:02:09.82
It was great.
00:02:09.86\00:02:11.19
Well, I can tell you that
when I went there in 1992,
00:02:11.23\00:02:14.56
is Julia can
testify, we didn't have malls
00:02:14.60\00:02:16.97
and we didn't have
all these restaurants
00:02:17.00\00:02:19.10
and places you could go.
00:02:19.13\00:02:20.87
I mean it was a
totally different country
00:02:20.90\00:02:23.47
than what it was the
last time I was there,
00:02:23.51\00:02:25.64
I was amazed even
Nizhny had a mall.
00:02:25.67\00:02:28.04
When we went there,
00:02:28.08\00:02:29.41
there only was I think
there was one McDonald's
00:02:29.44\00:02:31.58
and that was in Moscow.
00:02:31.61\00:02:33.42
Yeah, probably
and most popular place
00:02:33.45\00:02:36.28
among the Russians in Moscow.
00:02:36.32\00:02:38.45
Oh, yeah, they
would spend a week salary
00:02:38.49\00:02:41.09
to take their family there
00:02:41.12\00:02:42.46
and just spend
the time and enjoy it,
00:02:42.49\00:02:44.66
because it was
something so unusual.
00:02:44.69\00:02:47.20
But times have changed, Julia,
00:02:47.23\00:02:49.26
this coming year 17, 25 years.
00:02:49.30\00:02:52.90
That's right.
00:02:52.93\00:02:54.27
Since 1992 the
beginning of Russia.
00:02:54.30\00:02:56.94
Yeah, that's right.
00:02:56.97\00:02:58.31
Is that impossible.
00:02:58.34\00:02:59.67
Yeah, it's amazing.
00:02:59.71\00:03:01.04
It gives goose bumps
00:03:01.08\00:03:02.41
to think about that
25 years of miracles.
00:03:02.44\00:03:06.01
There is 32 years
of miracles at 3ABN
00:03:06.05\00:03:09.82
and 25 of those years
are miracles in Russia.
00:03:09.85\00:03:13.96
It's just amazing.
00:03:13.99\00:03:15.42
Absolutely amazing.
00:03:15.46\00:03:16.79
And isn't
amazing that Julia and I,
00:03:16.83\00:03:18.76
neither one have
aged a bit in 25 years.
00:03:18.79\00:03:22.10
I'm just kidding,
don't get all tied about it.
00:03:22.13\00:03:25.13
Now, Julia hasn't age.
00:03:25.17\00:03:27.07
But you know, I
think about it and, Yvonne,
00:03:27.10\00:03:29.30
when we went there,
00:03:29.34\00:03:31.37
we were through
the great success
00:03:31.41\00:03:33.38
of the Carter Report ministries,
00:03:33.41\00:03:36.04
2, 532 precious
souls were baptized.
00:03:36.08\00:03:39.85
Julia Outkina
being one of those,
00:03:39.88\00:03:42.08
but they only had
a church in Nizhny
00:03:42.12\00:03:44.15
that held about 200 people,
00:03:44.19\00:03:46.09
and it was pretty full,
00:03:46.12\00:03:47.62
so what you're gonna do
with 2,532 new converts,
00:03:47.66\00:03:52.33
so the government
had just opened up
00:03:52.36\00:03:55.30
and her brother Boris Nemtsov
was the governor of that area,
00:03:55.33\00:03:59.73
I think a constituency
of 52 million people.
00:03:59.77\00:04:03.04
And through him
and through Julia
00:04:03.07\00:04:06.34
we were able to
purchase property
00:04:06.37\00:04:08.58
and build what turned out to be
00:04:08.61\00:04:10.61
the largest Protestant facility
in all the ex-Soviet Union.
00:04:10.65\00:04:14.78
That's when we got
Brother John Canter to come over
00:04:14.82\00:04:17.69
and we needed a
translator, so we met Julia.
00:04:17.72\00:04:21.72
She'd been baptized
00:04:21.76\00:04:23.09
and so I went to
the conference office,
00:04:23.12\00:04:24.53
I think you were
translating there may be,
00:04:24.56\00:04:27.33
and I asked her
if I could hire her,
00:04:27.36\00:04:29.93
though she was a
professor of English,
00:04:29.96\00:04:33.07
the institute
there in Nizhny, right?
00:04:33.10\00:04:34.87
That's right.
00:04:34.90\00:04:36.24
And had been for how many years,
00:04:36.27\00:04:37.61
quite a few years?
00:04:37.64\00:04:38.97
Nineteen years. Nineteen years.
00:04:39.01\00:04:40.34
Yeah, I had been
a teacher of English
00:04:40.38\00:04:41.71
in several places
in language college
00:04:41.74\00:04:43.58
and then in civil
engineering college,
00:04:43.61\00:04:45.61
19 years all together.
00:04:45.65\00:04:47.15
Yeah.
00:04:47.18\00:04:48.52
And so we offered the job
00:04:48.55\00:04:49.88
and she accepted it to
my surprise and great joy.
00:04:49.92\00:04:53.96
And so I remember for
the first three years or so,
00:04:53.99\00:04:57.29
no matter in the year
Russia can get really cold,
00:04:57.33\00:05:00.63
I mean, really cold.
00:05:00.66\00:05:02.46
But I remember I would go
over there and John Canter,
00:05:02.50\00:05:04.87
she would follow him everywhere
because he is a workhorse.
00:05:04.90\00:05:07.97
And he would put him in charge
00:05:08.00\00:05:09.60
of building this entire facility
00:05:09.64\00:05:12.11
and Julia would
follow him around,
00:05:12.14\00:05:13.78
and I remember she
had this little bag,
00:05:13.81\00:05:15.84
little sag and she would eat,
00:05:15.88\00:05:17.41
reminded me of
little squirrel eating,
00:05:17.45\00:05:19.25
so I asked him why
00:05:19.28\00:05:21.02
and basically John
didn't stop long enough to eat.
00:05:21.05\00:05:23.85
So she wanted to enter,
00:05:23.89\00:05:25.22
she is climbing up
and down the ladder,
00:05:25.25\00:05:26.99
she'd have an apple,
she'd have some nuts,
00:05:27.02\00:05:28.96
she'd have something
and in between, you know,
00:05:28.99\00:05:31.76
translations but in
the cold, cold weather,
00:05:31.79\00:05:34.70
so she went from the
warm weather of the teacher
00:05:34.73\00:05:38.03
inside suddenly just being
translator working outside.
00:05:38.07\00:05:42.44
And then of course later
after the facility was there,
00:05:42.47\00:05:44.64
we asked her to be
the general manager,
00:05:44.67\00:05:46.68
so thank you, Julia.
00:05:46.71\00:05:48.14
The work you have.
00:05:48.18\00:05:49.51
Oh, praise the
Lord. Praise the Lord.
00:05:49.54\00:05:50.88
I haven't been happy in my life
00:05:50.91\00:05:54.12
ever than when I started working
00:05:54.15\00:05:57.52
with 3ABN doing God's work,
00:05:57.55\00:06:00.32
and you are saying about warm,
00:06:00.36\00:06:03.32
before I was in the cold,
00:06:03.36\00:06:05.86
my real warm became
when I got to know the Lord,
00:06:05.89\00:06:10.87
and when I started being
with him and when I started,
00:06:10.90\00:06:14.37
you know, being involved
00:06:14.40\00:06:16.10
in the
miraculous ministry of 3ABN.
00:06:16.14\00:06:18.71
All right, we have
some other guest too.
00:06:18.74\00:06:21.11
They speak little English
more than I speak Russian.
00:06:21.14\00:06:24.55
But, Julia, why
don't you introduce them,
00:06:24.58\00:06:27.85
and then we will
talk a little more,
00:06:27.88\00:06:29.25
I mean this is such a great...
00:06:29.28\00:06:32.39
for me a great
ministry 3ABN Russian.
00:06:32.42\00:06:35.06
What they do is so little,
00:06:35.09\00:06:36.42
little as much
when God is in it.
00:06:36.46\00:06:38.29
The productions they
do, you've seen them.
00:06:38.33\00:06:39.66
Yes.
00:06:39.69\00:06:41.03
The outreach that
they do, the Bible studies
00:06:41.06\00:06:43.43
and how God has
grown this ministry
00:06:43.47\00:06:45.90
is just absolutely marvelous
00:06:45.93\00:06:48.10
and Russia is my second home.
00:06:48.14\00:06:49.47
Yes.
00:06:49.50\00:06:50.84
As you know,
because my heart is there.
00:06:50.87\00:06:52.27
Home is where your heart is.
00:06:52.31\00:06:53.64
Yeah.
00:06:53.68\00:06:55.01
And when I go
there and see the people
00:06:55.04\00:06:56.38
and see the results,
00:06:56.41\00:06:57.75
I love it,
00:06:57.78\00:06:59.11
I'd have been
there numerous times
00:06:59.15\00:07:00.58
almost too many to count
00:07:00.62\00:07:01.95
and I look forward
should the Lord tarry,
00:07:01.98\00:07:04.02
may be next summer going back.
00:07:04.05\00:07:05.39
Oh, yes.
00:07:05.42\00:07:06.76
Doing something for
the 25th anniversary.
00:07:06.79\00:07:08.69
Why don't you introduce
our co-workers here today?
00:07:08.72\00:07:12.99
Alexey Britov is the
general manger of 3ABN Russia,
00:07:13.03\00:07:17.43
my position is
executive director
00:07:17.47\00:07:19.93
and he is the general manager.
00:07:19.97\00:07:22.00
And Vadim is
production coordinator
00:07:22.04\00:07:24.64
and he wears
quite a number of hats
00:07:24.67\00:07:26.47
because he does,
they are carving,
00:07:26.51\00:07:28.74
the filing I don't understand
all those technical things,
00:07:28.78\00:07:31.91
but I would like to start
00:07:31.95\00:07:33.85
with how the Lord has
been working with Russia,
00:07:33.88\00:07:37.59
with the Russian people
all the time, all along.
00:07:37.62\00:07:41.72
When the church was underground
00:07:41.76\00:07:43.49
and when it seemed
like atheist was the,
00:07:43.53\00:07:46.86
you know, the law in Russia...
00:07:46.90\00:07:49.23
atheism was the law in Russia.
00:07:49.26\00:07:51.20
Let me talk about Alexey.
00:07:51.23\00:07:52.93
He was a little boy
00:07:52.97\00:07:54.84
and his grandma
00:07:54.87\00:07:59.21
from what he's describing now
00:07:59.24\00:08:00.78
I would say that she
was a Russian protestant,
00:08:00.81\00:08:03.75
even though she belonged
to a Russian Orthodox Church.
00:08:03.78\00:08:06.41
They actually didn't
have church building close by
00:08:06.45\00:08:09.98
and they got together in homes
00:08:10.02\00:08:12.19
and they talked
about what the Bibles,
00:08:12.22\00:08:16.26
what is written in
the Bible, they somehow...
00:08:16.29\00:08:18.36
There was only one person
00:08:26.97\00:08:28.90
who knew how to
read in the whole village
00:08:28.94\00:08:31.91
where his grandma lived.
00:08:31.94\00:08:33.27
And the book that
babushka had was the Bible,
00:08:33.31\00:08:38.11
and the Bible in
modern Russian language.
00:08:38.15\00:08:40.42
Who did she get it from?
00:08:40.45\00:08:41.88
From some of the
Protestant, no one else I think.
00:08:41.92\00:08:45.72
And so his grandma
00:08:45.75\00:08:49.22
taught him a lot of
things about God, about faith
00:08:49.26\00:08:53.40
and she taught him
a beautiful prayer,
00:08:53.43\00:08:55.86
and I will let him
say this prayer in Russian
00:08:55.90\00:08:58.20
and I'll translate.
00:08:58.23\00:08:59.57
Cross in me,
00:09:03.67\00:09:05.71
cross with me, cross,
00:09:05.74\00:09:07.51
cross meaning
crucified in front or ahead,
00:09:07.54\00:09:10.88
in front of me.
00:09:10.91\00:09:13.18
Three angels with me,
00:09:13.21\00:09:15.08
can you believe in
the middle of Russia,
00:09:15.12\00:09:17.19
just talking about three angels.
00:09:17.22\00:09:19.02
And in me depart from me,
I want to be God's servant,
00:09:24.26\00:09:27.63
so this is what she
taught him from an early age.
00:09:27.66\00:09:30.47
He learnt it when he
was a little boy in 1985.
00:09:34.37\00:09:39.74
And then when he
was 13, Pastor John,
00:09:39.77\00:09:42.64
the meeting in 1993...
00:09:42.68\00:09:46.61
In 1993 it was the
second series of meetings
00:09:46.65\00:09:49.82
of Pastor John Carter
in my city Nizhny Novgorod.
00:09:49.85\00:09:52.95
He attended and he said
00:09:52.99\00:09:55.22
that was where he
got the big picture
00:09:55.26\00:09:58.33
and all the Bible knowledge,
00:09:58.36\00:10:00.40
he saw the global
saying of what God does
00:10:00.43\00:10:04.67
in the history of
mankind and everything,
00:10:04.70\00:10:07.07
and he very sincerely
accepted the Lord at that time,
00:10:07.10\00:10:09.64
he was baptized.
00:10:09.67\00:10:11.01
He says that his
relationship with God
00:10:11.04\00:10:13.04
deepened many times after that
00:10:13.07\00:10:15.21
when he went through some
difficult situations in life.
00:10:15.24\00:10:17.75
He learned how to
really trust the Lord
00:10:17.78\00:10:19.98
and depend upon him.
00:10:20.02\00:10:21.68
And it was an interesting story
00:10:21.72\00:10:23.69
how he became general
manager of 3ABN Russia,
00:10:23.72\00:10:25.85
but before that
00:10:25.89\00:10:27.22
since we're
speaking about the history
00:10:27.26\00:10:29.02
of how the Lord
is working in Russia.
00:10:29.06\00:10:31.26
Let me talk
about Vadim's history.
00:10:31.29\00:10:34.70
His grandfather was
in prison for ten years
00:10:34.73\00:10:39.13
in the former Soviet
Union for his beliefs.
00:10:39.17\00:10:43.00
Oh, his great grandfather.
00:10:43.04\00:10:44.77
His grandfather was
exiled in Siberia...
00:10:44.81\00:10:50.35
For five years
he was in Siberia.
00:10:50.38\00:10:52.71
His parents and they were
all Seventh-day Adventists.
00:10:52.75\00:10:55.85
His parents when
they were young people,
00:10:55.88\00:11:00.32
they would hide themselves
00:11:00.36\00:11:02.26
in a cell
underground part of a house.
00:11:02.29\00:11:07.13
They would put a
pillow on the table,
00:11:07.16\00:11:09.56
they would put a
typewriter on the pillow,
00:11:09.60\00:11:12.43
so that the sound is
not heard really well.
00:11:12.47\00:11:15.64
They would sit
down at the typewriter,
00:11:15.67\00:11:17.67
they would put a
blanket to cover themselves
00:11:17.71\00:11:20.11
and the typewriter,
00:11:20.14\00:11:23.68
do something to lit up here
00:11:23.71\00:11:26.88
and then they would
type The Great Controversy,
00:11:26.92\00:11:29.15
The Desire of Ages,
00:11:29.18\00:11:30.52
this is how his parents were.
00:11:30.55\00:11:33.05
It's amazing.
00:11:33.09\00:11:34.42
Yeah, were raised.
00:11:34.46\00:11:35.79
And he says that
he was in church,
00:11:35.82\00:11:38.19
Vadim was in
church for the first time,
00:11:38.23\00:11:40.53
the second day of his life.
00:11:40.56\00:11:42.50
They certainly
brought him to church,
00:11:42.53\00:11:44.70
and he is very
thankful to be raised
00:11:44.73\00:11:47.20
in a Christian home to be
taught all the good things.
00:11:47.24\00:11:50.34
He says that he is
learning from the Lord himself
00:11:50.37\00:11:53.44
and he goes
through his own, you know,
00:11:53.48\00:11:56.31
relationship
establishment with the Lord
00:11:56.34\00:11:58.55
and he is very, very happy
00:11:58.58\00:12:01.18
to be born in a Christian home.
00:12:01.22\00:12:03.79
So, you know,
00:12:03.82\00:12:05.15
this is what the Lord has
been doing in atheistic Russia.
00:12:05.19\00:12:07.89
Absolutely and how long, Alexey,
00:12:07.92\00:12:10.96
have you been general manager?
00:12:10.99\00:12:13.66
It is only for half a year
that he is general manager,
00:12:19.17\00:12:21.97
but his story is,
00:12:22.00\00:12:24.57
he was a pastor for six
years and then he decided...
00:12:24.61\00:12:29.28
He was very successful,
00:12:29.31\00:12:30.65
he did very good
evangelistic series,
00:12:30.68\00:12:32.98
he had about
200 people baptized,
00:12:33.01\00:12:35.22
but then the Lord moved him
00:12:35.25\00:12:37.09
that he would
rather be a lay pastor
00:12:37.12\00:12:39.35
and go into a business.
00:12:39.39\00:12:42.16
He was not an
owner of the business,
00:12:42.19\00:12:44.16
he was employed by the business.
00:12:44.19\00:12:45.89
He said that he kept
doing very active in the church
00:12:45.93\00:12:48.20
which I know,
00:12:48.23\00:12:49.60
and he worked in
business for nine years,
00:12:49.63\00:12:53.54
during those years he helped us
00:12:53.57\00:12:56.10
with our Bible studies.
00:12:56.14\00:12:58.21
We have,
00:12:58.24\00:13:00.18
we still have the Bible studies
00:13:00.21\00:13:01.91
that Alexey put together for us,
00:13:01.94\00:13:04.18
it's called New
Life Bible study course
00:13:04.21\00:13:06.05
and oh,
00:13:06.08\00:13:07.42
it has such a wonderful
response from the viewers.
00:13:07.45\00:13:09.95
And he donated
us money, you know,
00:13:09.98\00:13:12.92
to publish the translation
of yours and Shelley's book,
00:13:12.95\00:13:17.59
Antichrist Agenda.
00:13:17.63\00:13:20.20
So he has been
really helping a lot.
00:13:20.23\00:13:22.46
And then when he
worked in that business,
00:13:22.50\00:13:25.83
the business seemed to do well,
00:13:25.87\00:13:27.44
but because of the general
economic situation in Russia,
00:13:27.47\00:13:31.54
they decided to
combine food distribution
00:13:31.57\00:13:34.88
where he was
involved in and alcohol.
00:13:34.91\00:13:37.61
And he said, no, I'm not,
00:13:37.65\00:13:39.61
this was his condition before
00:13:39.65\00:13:41.02
that no alcohol in
among his activities,
00:13:41.05\00:13:44.02
thus he lost his job
00:13:44.05\00:13:45.72
because he didn't
want to continue with it.
00:13:45.75\00:13:47.96
And then he once
in church told me,
00:13:47.99\00:13:50.23
"Julia, please pray,
I'm looking for a job."
00:13:50.26\00:13:53.33
And then,
00:13:53.36\00:13:55.33
well, some other
people learnt about that
00:13:55.36\00:13:57.37
and then the
Lord just impressed us
00:13:57.40\00:13:59.30
that he would be a good
guy for general management
00:13:59.33\00:14:02.77
because he has this, you know,
00:14:02.80\00:14:04.74
theological preparation
00:14:04.77\00:14:07.41
and he has very good
administrative skills
00:14:07.44\00:14:11.11
and the video roll
that you will watch today
00:14:11.15\00:14:13.92
with 3ABN Russia's progress,
00:14:13.95\00:14:15.75
he will say how much
has been accomplished.
00:14:15.78\00:14:18.55
The roll will be
for the whole year
00:14:18.59\00:14:19.99
and he has been
half of that time
00:14:20.02\00:14:21.42
he has been with us.
00:14:21.46\00:14:22.79
I praise the Lord for him.
00:14:22.82\00:14:24.23
Isn't it amazing
how you might think
00:14:24.26\00:14:27.63
that certain steps are
not a part of the major plan
00:14:27.66\00:14:32.77
but your being in
business was part of the plan.
00:14:32.80\00:14:36.54
So God gave you all that
experience in administration
00:14:36.57\00:14:41.21
and then said, okay,
00:14:41.24\00:14:42.58
now it's time to work
again for me and in this realm.
00:14:42.61\00:14:46.15
I think so.
00:14:46.18\00:14:47.52
Yes. I think so.
00:14:47.55\00:14:49.62
And Vadim has been
with us for ten years.
00:14:49.65\00:14:53.19
He has gone from cameraman
00:14:53.22\00:14:56.76
and all these things
00:14:56.79\00:14:58.56
and now he's
production coordinator,
00:14:58.59\00:15:00.30
very orderly organized person
00:15:00.33\00:15:02.76
and then he coordinates
our broadcasting with 3ABN,
00:15:02.80\00:15:07.87
he works with Tim
here and archives,
00:15:07.90\00:15:11.01
a lot of material so,
00:15:11.04\00:15:12.71
yeah, and we are learning
so many wonderful things
00:15:12.74\00:15:15.81
about 3ABN about his dedication,
00:15:15.84\00:15:18.35
about his sacrifice,
00:15:18.38\00:15:19.71
about his
operation, wonderful visit.
00:15:19.75\00:15:23.32
Wonderful, we are glad
that you're all are here.
00:15:23.35\00:15:25.85
And it helps to come
and for them to see us
00:15:25.89\00:15:29.52
and us to go over there.
00:15:29.56\00:15:30.89
It does.
00:15:30.93\00:15:32.26
And really look at
each other's ministries
00:15:32.29\00:15:34.36
and see how we can support it.
00:15:34.40\00:15:36.77
Now being an, go ahead.
00:15:36.80\00:15:38.13
Oh, I was gonna say that
00:15:38.17\00:15:40.30
last year when you came over,
00:15:40.34\00:15:42.70
you came to see
some of the things
00:15:42.74\00:15:45.44
that Dare to Dream was doing
00:15:45.47\00:15:46.81
and I got to
talk to you and Elena
00:15:46.84\00:15:50.38
and you sent me an open
for the sanctuary program
00:15:50.41\00:15:54.98
we haven't done yet,
00:15:55.02\00:15:56.35
but we gonna be
able to use their open,
00:15:56.38\00:15:59.55
it is beautiful so
we can work together
00:15:59.59\00:16:02.76
and do things together,
00:16:02.79\00:16:04.13
but it's so
uplifting even though
00:16:04.16\00:16:06.03
I didn't speak Russian,
00:16:06.06\00:16:07.56
Elena didn't speak English,
00:16:07.60\00:16:10.03
we bonded because she
is my sister in the Lord,
00:16:10.07\00:16:13.47
so it was just,
it was so beautiful,
00:16:13.50\00:16:15.57
it's so wonderful
when you guys come over
00:16:15.60\00:16:18.04
to know what you're doing to see
00:16:18.07\00:16:19.64
how God is using you,
00:16:19.67\00:16:21.38
and for you to
see what we were doing
00:16:21.41\00:16:23.45
and just to share things,
00:16:23.48\00:16:24.91
this is a beautiful thing.
00:16:24.95\00:16:26.45
Yes, as I'm
saying it's God's miracle
00:16:26.48\00:16:28.12
they are all over the world,
00:16:28.15\00:16:29.58
3ABN is God's
miracle all over the world
00:16:29.62\00:16:32.09
because through it so
many people are reached,
00:16:32.12\00:16:35.09
so many people
get to know the Lord
00:16:35.12\00:16:37.83
with the ministry of 3ABN,
00:16:37.86\00:16:39.49
and it doesn't matter
00:16:39.53\00:16:41.00
what the language is, it's just,
00:16:41.03\00:16:43.70
it's the Lord,
it's about the Lord.
00:16:43.73\00:16:45.07
Amen.
00:16:45.10\00:16:46.43
When I first went over there,
I just turned wasn't quite,
00:16:46.47\00:16:51.04
I think I was almost 41
00:16:51.07\00:16:53.31
first time I went over there.
00:16:53.34\00:16:55.78
And Julia was well,
00:16:55.81\00:16:57.15
she is little younger than I am,
00:16:57.18\00:16:58.51
I won't give her age.
00:16:58.55\00:16:59.88
That's good.
00:16:59.91\00:17:01.25
It's about two or three
years or so younger than me
00:17:01.28\00:17:02.62
so she was in her late
30s and I was around 40,
00:17:02.65\00:17:06.35
and when we saw this
huge facility that was just,
00:17:06.39\00:17:10.23
they had never finished
00:17:10.26\00:17:11.59
and you look up to see the skies
00:17:11.63\00:17:13.06
and look out and
there is nothing in it
00:17:13.09\00:17:15.26
but millions of bricks
00:17:15.30\00:17:17.30
and wondering how we ever
gonna get this thing built in,
00:17:17.33\00:17:21.10
you know, then
how's it gonna mature
00:17:21.14\00:17:23.14
so you really at a
time I think about it
00:17:23.17\00:17:27.48
and now I look back and
say, how did that happen?
00:17:27.51\00:17:30.38
Because we didn't
have money to do it,
00:17:30.41\00:17:32.85
we didn't know
what we were doing.
00:17:32.88\00:17:35.35
Even John Canter who came over
00:17:35.38\00:17:37.15
ask him to go for three months
00:17:37.19\00:17:38.55
and he stayed
about three or four years
00:17:38.59\00:17:40.66
a long time and
then continued to go back
00:17:40.69\00:17:42.96
over the years but
to see what God did,
00:17:42.99\00:17:45.76
because God did that,
it was nothing she and I,
00:17:45.79\00:17:49.13
we didn't have
experience in that
00:17:49.16\00:17:51.47
and especially
in a foreign country
00:17:51.50\00:17:53.03
dealing with a governments,
00:17:53.07\00:17:54.60
that's where she
and her brother came in.
00:17:54.64\00:17:57.07
I had some
construction background
00:17:57.11\00:17:59.17
and so to John,
00:17:59.21\00:18:00.68
and then you have Pastor Carter
00:18:00.71\00:18:02.04
who had the spiritual background
00:18:02.08\00:18:03.95
and did the meetings,
00:18:03.98\00:18:05.41
but you know the
building was built
00:18:05.45\00:18:07.55
and it became a church,
00:18:07.58\00:18:09.68
put a church in there.
00:18:09.72\00:18:11.05
We had a youth church to begin
with there is smaller church
00:18:11.09\00:18:14.06
and then started
building the studios,
00:18:14.09\00:18:16.73
so we had sent folk over
00:18:16.76\00:18:18.43
and just with
very limited equipment
00:18:18.46\00:18:21.80
we were amazed,
our people would say,
00:18:21.83\00:18:24.30
I can't believe the
work these Russians are doing
00:18:24.33\00:18:27.17
because they didn't have...
00:18:27.20\00:18:28.87
Now I'll tell you this,
00:18:28.90\00:18:30.24
in 1992 when I was
there when you go in any store
00:18:30.27\00:18:34.04
in Russia unlike we
call it the walking street
00:18:34.08\00:18:36.51
Nizhny Novgorod, they
didn't have calculators,
00:18:36.54\00:18:40.82
very few people
have, they use the abacus,
00:18:40.85\00:18:42.72
is that what you call it?
00:18:42.75\00:18:44.09
Yes.
00:18:44.12\00:18:45.45
That like in the Bible
times. Yeah, abacus, yeah.
00:18:45.49\00:18:46.82
And when we would
pull out our calculator,
00:18:46.86\00:18:48.19
the people in the
stores were like wow,
00:18:48.22\00:18:50.46
and they cost us dollar
and a half or something here,
00:18:50.49\00:18:53.36
so we would take them
over and give them to people
00:18:53.40\00:18:56.00
but that's the times
we're looking at is like
00:18:56.03\00:19:00.74
so far behind where we are today
00:19:00.77\00:19:03.84
but we gave them,
00:19:03.87\00:19:05.21
we would take over
a little equipment,
00:19:05.24\00:19:07.84
and I'm telling
you little is much
00:19:07.88\00:19:09.21
when God is in it
00:19:09.24\00:19:10.58
because how
quickly they caught on,
00:19:10.61\00:19:14.42
then they would take what we had
00:19:14.45\00:19:15.78
and literally go to the limit,
00:19:15.82\00:19:17.65
you would say, how do they
produce this greater quality
00:19:17.69\00:19:21.39
with so little
equipment to have,
00:19:21.42\00:19:22.99
so we continued to build
00:19:23.02\00:19:24.69
and the production
00:19:24.73\00:19:26.06
you all doing now is
absolutely fantastic.
00:19:26.09\00:19:28.63
And the organization,
00:19:28.66\00:19:30.30
Julia didn't have the background
00:19:30.33\00:19:33.13
as I didn't and may be
you didn't for Dare to Dream,
00:19:33.17\00:19:36.47
but the Lord makes
up that difference.
00:19:36.50\00:19:37.84
Yes.
00:19:37.87\00:19:39.21
And so you just go forward,
you go in the name of the Lord,
00:19:39.24\00:19:41.81
blessings on the go
00:19:41.84\00:19:43.61
and then I found out
something really important,
00:19:43.65\00:19:45.88
I've been studying out
lately but you can't fail
00:19:45.91\00:19:48.12
when you come in
the name of the Lord.
00:19:48.15\00:19:49.48
Amen.
00:19:49.52\00:19:50.85
If it's not about you,
00:19:50.89\00:19:52.22
if it's about
God you cannot fail.
00:19:52.25\00:19:53.86
So we can do nothing against
the God's truth before it,
00:19:53.89\00:19:58.56
so all we did, Julia
did what she knew to do,
00:19:58.59\00:20:02.16
I did what I
did, the other folk,
00:20:02.20\00:20:04.00
those of you at home
who sent the money in,
00:20:04.03\00:20:07.50
and yet you saw
from the beginning,
00:20:07.54\00:20:09.34
I mean we showed the buildings,
00:20:09.37\00:20:10.71
it was just a mess.
00:20:10.74\00:20:12.27
But people had faith to
believe that it would work
00:20:12.31\00:20:14.74
and it did.
00:20:14.78\00:20:16.11
Yes.
00:20:16.14\00:20:17.48
Since that time those 25 years
00:20:17.51\00:20:18.85
we've both been through
a lot of personal things.
00:20:18.88\00:20:20.22
That's right.
00:20:20.25\00:20:21.58
And you've been
through personal things,
00:20:21.62\00:20:22.95
I'm sure you all
have, those of you at home.
00:20:22.98\00:20:25.05
But what I
appreciate about Julia,
00:20:25.09\00:20:26.89
she continues to
give God honor and glory
00:20:26.92\00:20:29.22
and praise with
some great loses,
00:20:29.26\00:20:32.16
it's been how long
since your brother,
00:20:32.19\00:20:34.26
it's been not
quite two years right?
00:20:34.30\00:20:36.26
Yeah.
00:20:36.30\00:20:37.93
Not quite two years
00:20:37.97\00:20:39.43
since her brother Boris
Nemtsov was killed in Moscow,
00:20:39.47\00:20:44.47
midnight it made national news,
00:20:44.51\00:20:45.87
it was on CNN,
00:20:45.91\00:20:47.24
and all the network
series very well known.
00:20:47.28\00:20:51.18
I hate to use word politician
but I guess he was in politics,
00:20:51.21\00:20:54.48
but an independent groups,
00:20:54.52\00:20:57.75
but an incredible
man with a much influence
00:20:57.79\00:21:00.96
so she lost her brother,
00:21:00.99\00:21:02.92
then this past year
she lost her husband
00:21:02.96\00:21:05.56
in a drowning accident.
00:21:05.59\00:21:07.93
And I mean how much can
one person take at a time,
00:21:07.96\00:21:11.97
Julia continues
to serve the Lord.
00:21:12.00\00:21:15.50
And I appreciate you,
00:21:15.54\00:21:18.57
I love you as a
sister in the Lord,
00:21:18.61\00:21:20.21
I always had for 25
years she were like this.
00:21:20.24\00:21:22.11
Oh yes, I know.
00:21:22.14\00:21:23.58
I can tell you
that we were like this.
00:21:23.61\00:21:24.95
I know.
00:21:24.98\00:21:26.31
And so but your faith
in God strengthens me.
00:21:26.35\00:21:30.69
And so thank you that you can
00:21:30.72\00:21:33.25
as in Hebrew 11 chapter,
00:21:33.29\00:21:35.29
they looked a far off.
00:21:35.32\00:21:37.09
You can't, we can't
look around us right now
00:21:37.13\00:21:40.60
because we can get discouraged,
00:21:40.63\00:21:42.53
but you by faith you see ahead
00:21:42.56\00:21:45.53
that we're strangers here,
00:21:45.57\00:21:46.90
we're sole journers
and so our home is heaven.
00:21:46.94\00:21:50.31
Yeah.
00:21:50.34\00:21:51.67
Julia radiates a
peace of God. Yeah.
00:21:51.71\00:21:53.94
You know, and I think that
00:21:53.98\00:21:56.01
when people know
of your struggles
00:21:56.04\00:21:58.68
and your
difficulties your challenges
00:21:58.71\00:22:01.18
and then they see
00:22:01.22\00:22:02.88
how the Lord
has given you peace,
00:22:02.92\00:22:05.45
it's a testimony.
00:22:05.49\00:22:07.56
You are a living testimony
00:22:07.59\00:22:09.49
and we
appreciate your testimony.
00:22:09.52\00:22:12.86
Yeah, you know,
00:22:12.89\00:22:14.23
I go through a lot
of personal struggle.
00:22:14.26\00:22:16.70
I believe that
faith is a gift of God
00:22:16.73\00:22:22.60
but you have to
want it to yourself,
00:22:22.64\00:22:25.31
I mean you have to connect
with God through prayers,
00:22:25.34\00:22:31.68
through Bible
study, through thinking,
00:22:31.71\00:22:35.02
just contemplating
00:22:35.05\00:22:36.82
and I cannot say the
time and faith all the time,
00:22:36.85\00:22:39.29
but I'm learning to
distinguish my condition
00:22:39.32\00:22:42.36
when I'm in faith
and when I'm out of it.
00:22:42.39\00:22:45.89
And I'm not saying that
00:22:45.93\00:22:47.86
all these things are
so difficult to describe
00:22:47.90\00:22:50.10
because it's a spiritual realm,
00:22:50.13\00:22:52.07
it's hard to describe
but without human words,
00:22:52.10\00:22:54.60
but I know the time
a believer, you know,
00:22:54.64\00:22:57.51
since I attended the meetings,
00:22:57.54\00:22:58.87
since the Lord
converted my heart,
00:22:58.91\00:23:00.24
I'm a believer all the time,
00:23:00.28\00:23:02.01
but still within
this being a believer,
00:23:02.04\00:23:05.05
I may be in faith and
I may be out of faith.
00:23:05.08\00:23:09.08
And it is so easy, you know,
00:23:09.12\00:23:12.52
when you're attentive
it is easy to distinguish
00:23:12.55\00:23:15.39
when you are in
faith or out of faith,
00:23:15.42\00:23:17.36
because there's a
fruit of the spirit,
00:23:17.39\00:23:19.53
when you have peace
that you're talking about,
00:23:19.56\00:23:22.40
when you have love
when you have compassion,
00:23:22.43\00:23:25.03
when you have desire
00:23:25.07\00:23:26.70
to help people toward salvation,
00:23:26.74\00:23:32.01
do everything that you
can for their salvation,
00:23:32.04\00:23:36.44
then you are in faith.
00:23:36.48\00:23:38.05
And when you start
finding fault with you know,
00:23:38.08\00:23:41.02
with someone
saying all the bad things
00:23:41.05\00:23:43.72
about some people or
about some situations
00:23:43.75\00:23:47.16
and you are right,
00:23:47.19\00:23:48.82
you're completely right.
00:23:48.86\00:23:50.19
There are those faults,
00:23:50.23\00:23:51.56
there are bad
things about situations
00:23:51.59\00:23:53.29
but it's not what the Lord
00:23:53.33\00:23:54.70
concentrates on
when he deals with us,
00:23:54.73\00:23:57.00
he uplifts the best in
us and when we are with him,
00:23:57.03\00:24:02.40
then all those
bad things go away
00:24:02.44\00:24:05.04
but because there is
Christ and he works...
00:24:05.07\00:24:08.88
is he who works, it's not us.
00:24:08.91\00:24:10.95
So I'm very
thankful for all these things
00:24:10.98\00:24:13.85
that you are saying
to me but it's the Lord,
00:24:13.88\00:24:17.02
I know that I'm nothing,
00:24:17.05\00:24:18.79
nothing not a
single moment of my life
00:24:18.82\00:24:21.56
am I worth what
the Lord is worth.
00:24:21.59\00:24:24.69
So whatever my worth
is, it's the Lord's worth.
00:24:24.73\00:24:27.73
Her greatest asset to me
00:24:27.76\00:24:30.17
and her brother's
too was they want truth.
00:24:30.20\00:24:33.77
Her brother stood up
against when he saw wrongs
00:24:33.80\00:24:38.74
and it basically
cost him his life.
00:24:38.77\00:24:41.91
Julia has stood up
for what she believes
00:24:41.94\00:24:44.95
and when she came in,
00:24:44.98\00:24:47.02
she said she wasn't,
you weren't an atheist,
00:24:47.05\00:24:49.22
you just didn't know
anything about God, right?
00:24:49.25\00:24:51.42
Yeah, I would say I was looking,
00:24:51.45\00:24:52.99
I just couldn't find,
00:24:53.02\00:24:54.36
I didn't hear
anything that would come to...
00:24:54.39\00:24:56.83
that would get into my heart.
00:24:56.86\00:24:59.59
So she came to the meetings
that Elder Carter was doing.
00:24:59.63\00:25:05.00
The Lord spoke to her,
00:25:05.03\00:25:06.53
but I'm amazed
that he didn't have time
00:25:06.57\00:25:09.57
because it was a short time
00:25:09.60\00:25:10.94
and he spoke on
the Sabbath this day
00:25:10.97\00:25:12.67
then of course mainly salvation
00:25:12.71\00:25:14.84
when you're talking about it,
00:25:14.88\00:25:16.24
and the Bible
that Bible is true,
00:25:16.28\00:25:18.45
that it's God's word,
00:25:18.48\00:25:19.81
those are the things
when you go into countries
00:25:19.85\00:25:21.88
where people
don't know about God.
00:25:21.92\00:25:24.02
You concentrate on those
00:25:24.05\00:25:25.75
and may be not
every little doctrine
00:25:25.79\00:25:27.79
that you have or
your philosophies,
00:25:27.82\00:25:29.76
but for instance he
didn't spend much time
00:25:29.79\00:25:32.09
if any on jewelry.
00:25:32.13\00:25:33.70
As Seventh-day Adventist
00:25:33.73\00:25:35.06
we wear very
limited amount of jewelry,
00:25:35.10\00:25:37.73
never spoke on
that, yet I saw Julia,
00:25:37.77\00:25:41.84
some time later
when I'm going back
00:25:41.87\00:25:43.51
and I noticed she
didn't have jewelry on
00:25:43.54\00:25:46.17
even a wedding
ring, how did that happen?
00:25:46.21\00:25:49.01
No one ever in your
life mentioned it to you.
00:25:49.04\00:25:51.15
That's right.
00:25:51.18\00:25:52.51
So why did you...
00:25:52.55\00:25:53.88
Yeah, no one ever mentioned that
00:25:53.92\00:25:55.95
it was the day of my conversion,
00:25:55.98\00:25:58.99
it was the day,
00:25:59.02\00:26:00.56
the last day of the
meetings with Pastor John Carter
00:26:00.59\00:26:03.02
because I was fighting you know,
00:26:03.06\00:26:04.73
my brother was in
such a prominent position
00:26:04.76\00:26:07.23
and communism was
very strong there,
00:26:07.26\00:26:09.10
I thought oh,
I'm his only sister
00:26:09.13\00:26:10.83
and I'm going to be baptized
into a Protestant church.
00:26:10.87\00:26:13.50
What would people
say about him and so on?
00:26:13.54\00:26:17.07
So I was kind of
putting it off all the time,
00:26:17.11\00:26:19.34
then the Lord
penetrated my heart,
00:26:19.37\00:26:21.84
when Pastor John Carter read,
00:26:21.88\00:26:24.55
"Don't you know that
00:26:24.58\00:26:25.91
you are that the Holy
Spirit dwells in you."
00:26:25.95\00:26:29.75
And I thought oh,
as unworthy as I am,
00:26:29.78\00:26:32.39
the Holy Spirit dwells in me.
00:26:32.42\00:26:34.36
It put myself esteem into
the right place immediately
00:26:34.39\00:26:39.06
because I didn't
think much of myself,
00:26:39.09\00:26:42.43
much about myself before it.
00:26:42.46\00:26:44.50
And I didn't start thinking
much of myself after it,
00:26:44.53\00:26:49.94
it just went
into the right place,
00:26:49.97\00:26:51.71
I'm good enough for the Lord.
00:26:51.74\00:26:54.11
Why should I worry about
00:26:54.14\00:26:56.51
like what people
think about me and so on.
00:26:56.54\00:27:00.02
And you know,
immediately after that,
00:27:00.05\00:27:02.68
I don't have any explanation,
00:27:02.72\00:27:05.29
I came back home
from that meeting,
00:27:05.32\00:27:07.56
this was when I decided that
00:27:07.59\00:27:08.92
I will be
baptized not matter what,
00:27:08.96\00:27:10.76
no matter what my brother says,
00:27:10.79\00:27:12.13
no matter what my family
says, and I just got baptized.
00:27:12.16\00:27:15.33
And then later I
talk to my brother
00:27:15.36\00:27:17.07
in about a month,
00:27:17.10\00:27:18.43
I said you know what
00:27:18.47\00:27:19.80
if I discuss this thing with you
00:27:19.83\00:27:21.20
and you told me no,
00:27:21.24\00:27:22.57
I would have done it anyway
00:27:22.60\00:27:23.94
so I decided not to
discuss that with you at all.
00:27:23.97\00:27:27.21
And he told me, no,
if this is your thing,
00:27:27.24\00:27:30.35
this is what makes
you happy, go ahead.
00:27:30.38\00:27:32.81
And you know,
over all these years
00:27:32.85\00:27:34.92
when he would talk to my mom,
00:27:34.95\00:27:36.38
he talk to her more than to me,
00:27:36.42\00:27:39.85
he said, "How is
Julia? How is her health?
00:27:39.89\00:27:42.09
How is her Adventism?"
00:27:42.12\00:27:43.79
Those were three things
that she asked me about.
00:27:43.83\00:27:47.23
And he was
interested about the, you know,
00:27:47.26\00:27:51.63
about a lot of things.
00:27:51.67\00:27:53.00
He was interested
through what he learnt about me.
00:27:53.03\00:27:56.74
And so what I'm
saying is the very...
00:27:56.77\00:28:00.61
I deviated from what I
was saying about jewelry,
00:28:00.64\00:28:02.88
the very same day
when that change happened
00:28:02.91\00:28:08.18
and we went in me
00:28:08.22\00:28:09.82
when I just got right
with God about myself,
00:28:09.85\00:28:15.32
I was happy that it's
him, it's about him not me.
00:28:15.36\00:28:18.16
It's him not me.
00:28:18.19\00:28:19.76
It was just a
moment of happiness.
00:28:19.79\00:28:22.36
It was a definite moment,
00:28:22.40\00:28:23.73
for different
people it's different.
00:28:23.77\00:28:25.10
With me it was a
particular moment of happiness.
00:28:25.13\00:28:27.80
I came back home
and I just took off,
00:28:27.84\00:28:30.57
I didn't wear much but
still for better self esteem
00:28:30.61\00:28:33.68
I think now, I had my necklaces,
00:28:33.71\00:28:36.98
I had different things,
00:28:37.01\00:28:38.91
I had several rings,
they were made of gold,
00:28:38.95\00:28:42.08
and it was kind of
a prestigious thing
00:28:42.12\00:28:44.39
and nice for,
00:28:44.42\00:28:45.75
you know, for
your looks and so on.
00:28:45.79\00:28:47.32
I just came home
and I took them off
00:28:47.36\00:28:50.53
and I put them inside,
00:28:50.56\00:28:51.99
I didn't need them any
longer, because I was my,
00:28:52.03\00:28:56.77
my decoration...
00:28:56.80\00:28:58.63
not decoration
but my adornment...
00:28:58.67\00:29:01.07
Yeah, adornment sure.
00:29:01.10\00:29:02.44
My adornment was
not gold anymore.
00:29:02.47\00:29:04.11
It's now the Holy
Spirit, it was the Lord.
00:29:04.14\00:29:06.01
Yeah it was the Lord,
the Lord was my adornment.
00:29:06.04\00:29:08.91
That is beautiful.
00:29:08.94\00:29:10.28
So you didn't need this
anymore this facade really...
00:29:10.31\00:29:12.21
Yes.
00:29:12.25\00:29:13.58
All of this was
appearance to look a certain way
00:29:13.62\00:29:16.89
in front of
people and then you said,
00:29:16.92\00:29:18.25
you know what, Jesus sent me,
00:29:18.29\00:29:19.62
now I don't need any
of this, what a beautiful.
00:29:19.65\00:29:21.42
Yeah, I think it's
beautiful. Beautiful.
00:29:21.46\00:29:22.99
You can go through
the Bible and you know,
00:29:23.02\00:29:25.46
argue one way or the other
00:29:25.49\00:29:26.83
and go back and forth all these
00:29:26.86\00:29:28.20
but you can't
argue with that, I mean.
00:29:28.23\00:29:29.56
That's right.
00:29:29.60\00:29:30.93
As far as Julia is
concerned what happened to her,
00:29:30.97\00:29:32.97
your testimony, it's
a wonderful testimony.
00:29:33.00\00:29:35.17
I want you to know,
00:29:35.20\00:29:36.54
I love you, I
love you as a sister,
00:29:36.57\00:29:38.67
I have another sister so
now I have two sisters actually.
00:29:38.71\00:29:41.34
Yeah, oh, I
appreciate it so much
00:29:41.38\00:29:42.81
during all the difficult
moments with my brother
00:29:42.84\00:29:45.48
and with my husband
00:29:45.51\00:29:46.85
and then my mom broke her hip
00:29:46.88\00:29:48.78
and you know,
Danny is a brother.
00:29:48.82\00:29:51.45
I mean he finds time with
all that so much going on,
00:29:51.49\00:29:55.59
he finds time for me to,
00:29:55.62\00:29:57.86
you know, to
give me wise advices,
00:29:57.89\00:30:00.16
how to deal with my mother,
00:30:00.20\00:30:01.53
I want her to
get to know the Lord
00:30:01.56\00:30:04.43
and he tells me such, you know,
00:30:04.47\00:30:06.40
encouraging
things, inspiring things,
00:30:06.43\00:30:08.90
so I'm very, very
thankful brother Danny,
00:30:08.94\00:30:11.74
big brother, I hope
you are big brother.
00:30:11.77\00:30:13.31
We write each other
00:30:13.34\00:30:14.68
so I call her a little
sister and I mean, it's,
00:30:14.71\00:30:17.38
I'm the big brother.
00:30:17.41\00:30:18.75
But we saw her
mother, I told her,
00:30:18.78\00:30:20.95
you don't have to
worry about your mother,
00:30:20.98\00:30:22.35
God's got her,
00:30:22.38\00:30:23.85
because we saw a miracle
when she came few years ago.
00:30:23.89\00:30:27.56
We were there
00:30:27.59\00:30:28.92
and she had so
much back trouble,
00:30:28.96\00:30:30.63
you remember that. Yes, yes.
00:30:30.66\00:30:32.03
That she
couldn't hardly stand up
00:30:32.06\00:30:33.66
and couldn't hardly attend,
she came for some meetings.
00:30:33.70\00:30:36.13
Yeah.
00:30:36.16\00:30:37.50
And we prayed with
her and what happened?
00:30:37.53\00:30:38.87
Yeah, she was,
00:30:38.90\00:30:40.24
she had a back problem
00:30:40.27\00:30:41.60
and it was over 10 years ago,
00:30:41.64\00:30:44.04
I believe quite
a bit of time ago,
00:30:44.07\00:30:45.87
and she was bent
this way and I told her,
00:30:45.91\00:30:49.21
"Mom, I want you to meet Danny
00:30:49.24\00:30:52.01
and to meet the group
that you brought with him,
00:30:52.05\00:30:56.18
let's come."
00:30:56.22\00:30:57.55
And she's very respectful,
00:30:57.59\00:30:58.92
has been
respectful all the time.
00:30:58.95\00:31:00.49
When Danny had his
first meal in our home,
00:31:00.52\00:31:03.36
she cooked him
food without onions
00:31:03.39\00:31:05.63
but since Russian
people are so fond of onions,
00:31:05.66\00:31:09.23
then she fixed them separately
00:31:09.26\00:31:11.17
and she put them
on a separate plate
00:31:11.20\00:31:13.20
so that people
could help themselves.
00:31:13.23\00:31:15.30
And so she came to that meeting
00:31:15.34\00:31:18.27
and we all stood in circle
and then Danny saw her bent,
00:31:18.31\00:31:23.04
and he said, what's the matter?
00:31:23.08\00:31:24.71
And she said that I
have a back problem.
00:31:24.75\00:31:26.82
And Danny said,
00:31:26.85\00:31:28.18
would you like for
us to pray for you?
00:31:28.22\00:31:29.95
And she said, yes.
00:31:29.98\00:31:31.52
It's her little steps you know,
00:31:31.55\00:31:33.02
Danny keeps bringing
my family to the Lord.
00:31:33.05\00:31:36.12
Through all these years,
00:31:36.16\00:31:37.49
during each of his visits there,
00:31:37.53\00:31:40.50
and so she said, yes.
00:31:40.53\00:31:42.00
And him and David...
00:31:42.03\00:31:46.57
Big David.
00:31:46.60\00:31:47.94
Yeah, Big David,
00:31:47.97\00:31:49.30
they took my mom by the hand
00:31:49.34\00:31:50.84
and we all stood in circle
00:31:50.87\00:31:53.31
and oh, I was
holding my mom's hand,
00:31:53.34\00:31:55.61
one of my mom's hands,
00:31:55.64\00:31:57.11
and you know, they prayed
00:31:57.15\00:31:59.15
and I just felt
my eyes were close
00:31:59.18\00:32:00.95
but since I was
holding her by the hand,
00:32:00.98\00:32:02.98
I just felt during the prayer
00:32:03.02\00:32:05.69
how she unbent
and stood straight.
00:32:05.72\00:32:08.86
And then at the end of prayer
she was standing straight,
00:32:08.89\00:32:12.19
what a testimony.
00:32:12.23\00:32:13.56
Yeah, praise God.
00:32:13.60\00:32:14.93
You ask her about it,
00:32:14.96\00:32:16.60
remember you said, she said,
00:32:16.63\00:32:18.63
mom you are standing up.
00:32:18.67\00:32:21.60
And do you
remember what she said?
00:32:21.64\00:32:23.14
Her response is yes, I'm.
00:32:23.17\00:32:26.24
Yeah, she was, that's right.
00:32:26.27\00:32:28.24
Julia asked her
00:32:28.28\00:32:29.61
if she was in
pain, and she is like no,
00:32:29.64\00:32:32.88
you know, she was so surprised
00:32:32.91\00:32:34.72
but it's those
little things that God does.
00:32:34.75\00:32:36.45
That's right.
00:32:36.48\00:32:37.82
That is not us, it's
not about us, it's him.
00:32:37.85\00:32:40.59
But the Lord knows her heart,
00:32:40.62\00:32:41.99
and so your
mother is a great woman,
00:32:42.02\00:32:44.13
tell her, I said,
00:32:44.16\00:32:45.49
I've continued
to pray for her...
00:32:45.53\00:32:47.00
Thank you very much.
00:32:47.03\00:32:48.36
And love her and plan
on seeing her in heaven.
00:32:48.40\00:32:50.87
What we want to do,
you all have a video
00:32:50.90\00:32:52.40
that you've prepared.
00:32:52.43\00:32:53.77
Yes.
00:32:53.80\00:32:55.14
And I always look
forward to seeing them
00:32:55.17\00:32:56.50
so I don't know if
Alexey or you someone,
00:32:56.54\00:32:58.77
tell us what or give us
00:32:58.81\00:33:00.14
a little preview of
what we're gonna be watching.
00:33:00.18\00:33:04.11
We usually bring a video,
a big video here once a year.
00:33:04.15\00:33:08.52
And it makes a
report on the past year
00:33:08.55\00:33:11.65
so what you will see is
00:33:11.69\00:33:13.25
what has happened
during the past year.
00:33:13.29\00:33:15.92
All right, wonderful.
00:33:15.96\00:33:18.49
In many
activities of 3ABN Russia.
00:33:18.53\00:33:20.13
All right, let's go to it now.
00:33:20.16\00:33:21.53
Go ye therefore
and teach all nations
00:33:55.43\00:33:58.47
said our Lord Jesus Christ.
00:33:58.50\00:34:00.67
3ABN is faithful
to this commission.
00:34:00.70\00:34:03.17
In August 2017,
by the grace of God,
00:34:03.20\00:34:07.28
3ABN Russia will
celebrate its 25th anniversary.
00:34:07.31\00:34:12.21
In 1992 Pastor John
Carter jointly with 3ABN
00:34:12.25\00:34:16.55
came to our city with
an evangelistic program.
00:34:16.58\00:34:19.85
After the
baptism of 3,534 people,
00:34:19.89\00:34:24.89
3ABN bought a
building to house 3ABN Russia,
00:34:24.93\00:34:28.46
local conference,
00:34:28.50\00:34:29.83
the largest church
in Nizhny Novgorod,
00:34:29.86\00:34:32.50
a Christian cultural
center and much more.
00:34:32.53\00:34:37.04
For 24 years now,
00:34:37.07\00:34:38.87
3ABN Russia has been
fulfilling its mission,
00:34:38.91\00:34:41.94
affecting people's life
00:34:41.98\00:34:43.48
through modern
telecommunication means,
00:34:43.51\00:34:46.11
bringing the message
of salvation and help
00:34:46.15\00:34:49.02
to those who are helpless,
and hopeless without Christ.
00:34:49.05\00:34:52.85
Nowadays,
00:34:59.86\00:35:01.20
satellite broadcasting
is a most efficient way
00:35:01.23\00:35:04.40
to bring the gospel
to the Russian people.
00:35:04.43\00:35:07.07

00:35:21.82\00:35:26.15
Our main priority is
getting more new cable operators
00:35:31.23\00:35:35.40
to rebroadcast our signal,
00:35:35.43\00:35:37.67
want evolve
promotional activities
00:35:37.70\00:35:40.04

This has been our second
time there with our own booth.
00:35:47.04\00:35:51.08
This event allowed us
to present 3ABN Russia
00:35:51.11\00:35:54.52

00:35:54.55\00:35:57.79
to meet with the partners,
00:35:57.82\00:35:59.52
to make contacts
with the magazines
00:35:59.55\00:36:01.56
which publish
television industry news.
00:36:01.59\00:36:04.36

00:36:40.30\00:36:43.30
on their computers
or through mobile apps.
00:36:43.33\00:36:47.44
One of the ways
of our distribution
00:36:47.47\00:36:49.94
that we consider very important
is to get churches involved.
00:36:49.97\00:36:54.68
At special 3ABN
Russia's presentations
00:36:54.71\00:36:57.41
would appeal for their help
00:36:57.45\00:36:59.58
in contacting
their cable operators
00:36:59.61\00:37:02.18
to add 3ABN
Russia to their package.
00:37:02.22\00:37:05.15
We also encourage
churches for support
00:37:05.19\00:37:08.22
and volunteers help.
00:37:08.26\00:37:10.33
As another way of promotion,
00:37:10.36\00:37:12.33

We have recently

to be rebroadcast 24/7 by
two biggest cable operators
00:38:41.32\00:38:46.09
in the Republic of Tatarstan,
00:38:46.12\00:38:47.86
a prominent
Muslim region of Russia.
00:38:47.89\00:38:50.53
Sometime before that
00:38:50.56\00:38:52.16
the Lord impressed a
pastor from Moscow Conference
00:38:52.19\00:38:55.66
who used to be a Muslim
to make a series of sermons
00:38:55.70\00:38:59.33
based on the connections
00:38:59.37\00:39:00.90
between the Bible and the Quran.
00:39:00.94\00:39:03.07
The Lord has put us together
00:39:03.10\00:39:04.94
for this most
important in new TV series.
00:39:04.97\00:39:08.74
Currently our
creative team is developing
00:39:08.78\00:39:11.75
new series of programs
on some original topics.
00:39:11.78\00:39:15.85
In a simple way
about complicated things.
00:39:15.88\00:39:19.42
Alexander Sinitsyn
the president Volga-Vyatka
00:39:19.45\00:39:22.29
Conference will
use simple language
00:39:22.32\00:39:24.66
to discuss complicated things
00:39:24.69\00:39:26.73
that may haunt
our mind like anger,
00:39:26.76\00:39:29.83
fear, superstition,
horoscopes and others.
00:39:29.86\00:39:33.50
Morning blessings,
00:39:33.54\00:39:35.04
a short
appealing talk of a pastor
00:39:35.07\00:39:37.71
with a good
thought for the viewers
00:39:37.74\00:39:39.61
to start a day with,
00:39:39.64\00:39:41.68
"Three Amphers",
00:39:41.71\00:39:43.28
series of
programs on Bible history
00:39:43.31\00:39:45.78
and archaeology
00:39:45.81\00:39:47.15
with a lot of graphics.
00:39:47.18\00:39:49.12
"Find Your Path",
00:39:49.15\00:39:50.62
young adult series of programs
00:39:50.65\00:39:52.95
helping our viewers to find way
00:39:52.99\00:39:55.32
from helplessness to happiness.
00:39:55.36\00:39:58.19
The depth of the gospel,
00:39:58.23\00:40:00.03
what is the gospel really about?
00:40:00.06\00:40:02.56
New special topic,
00:40:02.60\00:40:04.40
new application
of the existing set
00:40:04.43\00:40:07.07
and graphics.
00:40:07.10\00:40:08.57
"Technology of a Abundance",
00:40:08.60\00:40:10.41
remake of one of the most
popular programs of 3ABN Russia
00:40:10.44\00:40:14.64
about a unique
method of growing vegetables
00:40:14.68\00:40:17.68
developed by
Dr. Jacob Mythlyder.
00:40:17.71\00:40:20.42
The program is in a big
demand on Russian cable.
00:40:20.45\00:40:24.22
There is an idea
for two new programs
00:40:24.25\00:40:27.26
with an interesting name.
00:40:27.29\00:40:29.02
You've probably heard
00:40:29.06\00:40:30.56
that the Russian
word for no is "net."
00:40:30.59\00:40:33.83
We plan to develop a
program hypocrisy.net
00:40:33.86\00:40:38.27
the Bible on hypocrisy.
00:40:38.30\00:40:40.37
And unanswered.net
00:40:40.40\00:40:43.41
a program on our
viewers, letters, and emails.
00:40:43.44\00:40:48.84
All the programs
nurture faith in our hearts,
00:40:48.88\00:40:52.18
they give us strength,
00:40:52.21\00:40:53.55
encourage us to become
what God wants us to be.
00:40:53.58\00:40:56.89
Thank you so much for your work.
00:40:56.92\00:40:58.79
I really want my daughter
to become a good person.
00:41:02.09\00:41:05.63
She already
knows that God exists.
00:41:05.66\00:41:08.20
I don't have a spiritual mentor,
00:41:08.23\00:41:10.43
while I have so many questions.
00:41:10.47\00:41:12.97
Your channel helps me
00:41:13.00\00:41:14.60
to understand everything better
00:41:14.64\00:41:16.84
and to explain
it to my daughter.
00:41:16.87\00:41:19.14
Thank you very much.
00:41:19.17\00:41:21.21
There are so many
letters and emails like these.
00:41:21.24\00:41:24.35
We constantly pray
that the number of those
00:41:24.38\00:41:27.45
who will find God
through our ministry increases.
00:41:27.48\00:41:31.32
This is why as soon
as the means allowed,
00:41:31.35\00:41:34.06
we decided to make
three angels' magazine
00:41:34.09\00:41:36.99
and send it to those
00:41:37.03\00:41:38.79
who have ever started
3ABN Russia Bible study course.
00:41:38.83\00:41:42.80
With the great
help of our volunteers,
00:41:42.83\00:41:45.50
we prepare mail and
maintain correspondence.
00:41:45.53\00:41:49.10
During the first
five months of 2016
00:41:49.14\00:41:52.31
we made two issues of
three angels' magazine
00:41:52.34\00:41:55.21
and have sent more than
9,000 letters promoting it.
00:41:55.24\00:41:58.81
This year quite a bit of
repairs have taken place.
00:42:05.72\00:42:09.19
We've renovated
our control room,
00:42:09.22\00:42:11.79
re-planed the offices
00:42:11.83\00:42:13.26
to have three rooms for editing,
00:42:13.29\00:42:15.33
have made a
storage room for sets
00:42:15.36\00:42:17.47
and a storage room
for printed materials.
00:42:17.50\00:42:19.90
Have installed plastic
windows in the offices,
00:42:19.93\00:42:23.04
halls and guest rooms.
00:42:23.07\00:42:25.14
To dedicate all
these to the Lord service,
00:42:25.17\00:42:27.98
we invited the leadership
of Volga-Vyatka Conference
00:42:28.01\00:42:31.28
to make a special
prayer of blessing
00:42:31.31\00:42:33.52
on all the renovations
00:42:33.55\00:42:35.25
as well as on our new employees.
00:42:35.28\00:42:39.25
Together with
Volga-Vyatka Conference
00:42:39.29\00:42:41.62
we've started
repairing and redecorating
00:42:41.66\00:42:44.16
the looks of 3ABN
Russia's evangelism center.
00:42:44.19\00:42:47.86
Plastic windows have
been installed on the facade.
00:42:47.90\00:42:50.93
Facade walls are
being plastered and painted.
00:42:50.97\00:42:54.07
The roof is being repaired.
00:42:54.10\00:42:56.71
We praise the Lord
00:42:56.74\00:42:58.17
for the amazing 3ABN
Russia's evangelism center.
00:42:58.21\00:43:02.84
All its activities
for the glory of God
00:43:02.88\00:43:05.55
have been made possible
only due to your support.
00:43:05.58\00:43:09.98
In August 2017, is
our 25th anniversary.
00:43:10.02\00:43:15.26
We invite you to
visit us if possible.
00:43:15.29\00:43:18.19
And of course to
continue supporting
00:43:18.23\00:43:20.80
this miraculously powerful
tool of preaching the gospel,
00:43:20.83\00:43:25.20
3ABN including 3ABN Russia.
00:43:25.23\00:43:28.90
God bless you.
00:43:28.94\00:43:30.27
Amen. Amen.
00:43:54.60\00:43:55.96
Wow, what an incredible report.
00:43:56.00\00:43:58.37
It has a new
facelift the building,
00:43:58.40\00:44:01.00
I have to get use to
that going for so many years
00:44:01.04\00:44:03.51
but its
beautiful and all the work
00:44:03.54\00:44:05.11
that you're doing
on such limited budget.
00:44:05.14\00:44:07.38
Yes.
00:44:07.41\00:44:08.74
Just amazing to me.
00:44:08.78\00:44:10.11
And I like the assortment
of programming, you know,
00:44:10.15\00:44:12.11
that takes
special interest in that
00:44:12.15\00:44:13.95
and you have such you know,
00:44:13.98\00:44:15.42
you have something for everyone,
00:44:15.45\00:44:16.79
which is really good.
00:44:16.82\00:44:18.15
We're watching Dare to Dream
in a few months and you'll say,
00:44:18.19\00:44:21.19
I bet she got
that idea from Russia.
00:44:21.22\00:44:22.86
That's right.
00:44:22.89\00:44:24.23
Oh, you know,
00:44:24.26\00:44:25.59
when Yvonne watches our programs
00:44:25.63\00:44:26.96
then she knows that we
have got some ideas from her.
00:44:27.00\00:44:30.70
Well, that's
what it's all about.
00:44:30.73\00:44:32.07
Praise the Lord. That's right.
00:44:32.10\00:44:33.44
People touching
people right. Yeah.
00:44:33.47\00:44:34.90
We have about
eight or nine minutes.
00:44:34.94\00:44:37.54
Want to talk about
some miracle stories,
00:44:37.57\00:44:38.91
tell me some miracle stories?
00:44:38.94\00:44:40.28
Oh, yes.
00:44:40.31\00:44:41.64
Yes, there are some
very special things.
00:44:41.68\00:44:43.55
They would have told them better
00:44:43.58\00:44:45.08
but it will take a
little bit too long
00:44:45.11\00:44:46.72
with their Russian
so I'll tell it to you,
00:44:46.75\00:44:49.72
I do all the talking to
differ all the three of us.
00:44:49.75\00:44:54.29
One of the wonderful
directions of our activities
00:44:54.32\00:44:57.83
is reaching Muslim audiences,
and since I'm here at 3ABN,
00:44:57.86\00:45:01.53
I'm hearing that
00:45:01.56\00:45:02.90
this is the
Seventh-day Adventist
00:45:02.93\00:45:04.93
tendency around the world,
00:45:04.97\00:45:06.70
we didn't know about that
which is did it on our own.
00:45:06.74\00:45:09.70
It was a miracle when
Alexey went to Zaotsky seminar
00:45:09.74\00:45:14.31
to present to make a
3ABN Russia's presentation
00:45:14.34\00:45:17.48
during a Bible
study for the pastors
00:45:17.51\00:45:20.05
that was held there
00:45:20.08\00:45:21.42
and then after our presentation
00:45:21.45\00:45:24.05
a pastor who used
to be Iranian, oh,
00:45:24.09\00:45:28.02
who is an Iranian
by origin from Iran
00:45:28.06\00:45:30.76
and who used to be Muslim,
00:45:30.79\00:45:32.59
and who is now a
Seventh-day Adventist pastor
00:45:32.63\00:45:34.96
who works for Moscow Conference
to reach a lot of immigrants,
00:45:35.00\00:45:39.40
Muslim who come to Moscow
00:45:39.43\00:45:41.00
and there is a lot of
local Muslim people in Moscow.
00:45:41.04\00:45:44.61
So he works on reaching them.
00:45:44.64\00:45:46.11
He came up to
Alexey and he said,
00:45:46.14\00:45:47.74
"Having listened
to your presentation,
00:45:47.78\00:45:49.58
I'm impressed that
I want to put together
00:45:49.61\00:45:51.48
a series of programs
that will reach the Muslims
00:45:51.51\00:45:54.95
with the
Seventh-day Adventist message.
00:45:54.98\00:45:58.12
And Alexey said, oh, yes sure,
00:45:58.15\00:46:00.19
that will be great
00:46:00.22\00:46:01.56
what are you
going to talk about.
00:46:01.59\00:46:02.92
He said I want to make a series
00:46:02.96\00:46:05.26
Bible prophets in the Quran.
00:46:05.29\00:46:08.06
And he said you know,
00:46:08.10\00:46:09.56
those Muslims
who read the Quran,
00:46:09.60\00:46:12.03
they're very good people
00:46:12.07\00:46:13.47
because the Quran says
00:46:13.50\00:46:14.84
that the Bible
was before the Quran,
00:46:14.87\00:46:16.91
it was written before the Quran,
00:46:16.94\00:46:18.44
it has the Torah in it
00:46:18.47\00:46:20.28
which every good Muslim is
supposed to read the Torah.
00:46:20.31\00:46:24.21
It has the gospels in it
00:46:24.25\00:46:26.28
which every good
Muslim is supposed to read.
00:46:26.31\00:46:28.98
And yeah, it so
mentioned in the Quran,
00:46:29.02\00:46:31.95
it mentions about Jesus Christ,
00:46:31.99\00:46:33.89
it mentions about the
prophets of the Bible.
00:46:33.92\00:46:37.16
Yeah, and you know,
00:46:37.19\00:46:38.79
they are reachable
00:46:38.83\00:46:40.16
because they have a
lot of Bible principles
00:46:40.20\00:46:43.43
as far as food is concerned,
00:46:43.47\00:46:45.33
alcohol and so and so.
00:46:45.37\00:46:46.94
It is, I mean they're open.
00:46:46.97\00:46:49.40
And there are so many
good people among them
00:46:49.44\00:46:51.64
who just don't know the truth.
00:46:51.67\00:46:53.94
And so we did some
renovations to the set
00:46:53.98\00:46:57.28
and added some little touches
to make it more oriental,
00:46:57.31\00:47:00.62
some ornament and so on.
00:47:00.65\00:47:03.62
And we were ready
to tape those programs
00:47:03.65\00:47:07.56
and the Lord gave us a
beautiful encouragement
00:47:07.59\00:47:10.73
because you know,
00:47:10.76\00:47:12.09
in Russia
satellite is very important
00:47:12.13\00:47:14.36
because they used to be
practically no cable companies
00:47:14.40\00:47:17.70
and they are sprouting
now a new cable companies,
00:47:17.73\00:47:20.60
because it's good business,
they can advertise and prosper.
00:47:20.64\00:47:24.87
And they're all short of content
00:47:24.91\00:47:27.31
and they're
interested really now
00:47:27.34\00:47:29.44
content to fill
into their programming.
00:47:29.48\00:47:31.78
So one biggest cable company
00:47:31.81\00:47:37.52
in a Muslim region of Russia
which is called Tatarstan.
00:47:37.55\00:47:42.59
We promote ourselves
00:47:42.62\00:47:43.96
and they wanted to
accept our programs
00:47:43.99\00:47:45.79
and right after
Alexey made that, you know,
00:47:45.83\00:47:50.53
plan with the
pastor to do the series,
00:47:50.57\00:47:54.87
our marketing department
00:47:54.90\00:47:56.24
immediately let him know that
00:47:56.27\00:47:57.67
the second biggest cable company
00:47:57.71\00:47:59.81
of that Muslim
republic of Russia
00:47:59.84\00:48:01.54
Tatarstan
approached us and said that
00:48:01.58\00:48:03.95
they want to take
our programming 24/7.
00:48:03.98\00:48:07.25
Yeah, he said
that he got that news
00:48:07.28\00:48:08.85
that same very day when they...
00:48:08.88\00:48:10.72
Isn't that
amazing? That is amazing.
00:48:10.75\00:48:12.85
They approached them
where they're programming.
00:48:12.89\00:48:16.12
Can you imagine in
a Muslim territory.
00:48:16.16\00:48:18.36
Yes, absolutely amazing.
00:48:18.39\00:48:20.13
But the program is
good news for anybody
00:48:20.16\00:48:22.46
and again the health
programs and all that you do
00:48:22.50\00:48:25.87
that I'm sure is
reaching out to them with that,
00:48:25.90\00:48:28.20
that's absolutely,
folks, that's a miracle,
00:48:28.24\00:48:30.24
I mean you think about that
00:48:30.27\00:48:32.41
that they're
approaching you for programming
00:48:32.44\00:48:35.14
and putting you on the,
00:48:35.18\00:48:36.54
what second largest
cable company to Muslims.
00:48:36.58\00:48:39.68
Yeah.
00:48:39.71\00:48:41.05
You know, again
it's so incredible.
00:48:41.08\00:48:42.88
That's a two
hander, I'll do that.
00:48:42.92\00:48:44.72
It is, it is, it is.
00:48:44.75\00:48:46.09
It's so amazing to me that
00:48:46.12\00:48:47.46
God is telling us all
to do some more things
00:48:47.49\00:48:51.26
'cause we just did something on
00:48:51.29\00:48:52.63
Dare to Dream
reaching out to Muslims.
00:48:52.66\00:48:55.23
And I want to do a
program to reach out to Muslims
00:48:55.26\00:48:59.63
and I think God is just,
00:48:59.67\00:49:01.20
He is moving all
over, it's incredible,
00:49:01.24\00:49:04.14
it's incredible.
00:49:04.17\00:49:05.74
So I might take that
idea, Julia, right now.
00:49:05.77\00:49:07.44
Oh, yes, yes.
00:49:07.48\00:49:08.81
I love it.
00:49:08.84\00:49:10.18
We should show you how our,
00:49:10.21\00:49:11.88
that's a simple
decoration that we use there
00:49:11.91\00:49:14.72
and it gives the
program, you know,
00:49:14.75\00:49:17.65
it will be better
accepted by the Muslims
00:49:17.69\00:49:19.69
and of course of
these little things
00:49:19.72\00:49:21.06
that we added there.
00:49:21.09\00:49:22.46
We are asking for
prayers for a former republic
00:49:22.49\00:49:25.43
of the Soviet Union
which is called Kazakhstan.
00:49:25.46\00:49:30.10
There are many
Muslims there also.
00:49:30.13\00:49:32.70
They're separate country now.
00:49:32.73\00:49:34.54
Not part of the
Soviet Union anymore
00:49:34.57\00:49:37.87
and they have
taken all our programming
00:49:37.91\00:49:41.44
for their expertise
considering of putting it...
00:49:41.48\00:49:44.95
On a nation wide
satellite channel in Kazakhstan.
00:49:50.82\00:49:56.39
When we
negotiate with them we say,
00:49:56.42\00:49:58.16
you may take it all, or
you may take part of it.
00:49:58.19\00:50:00.50
So after they take part of
it, they may take more and more.
00:50:00.53\00:50:05.00
Yeah, they're Russian speaking
00:50:05.03\00:50:06.60
because they were
in the Soviet Union,
00:50:06.63\00:50:08.10
so we're asking for prayers,
00:50:08.14\00:50:09.80
we're asking our
viewers for prayers on that.
00:50:09.84\00:50:13.98
It is Kazakhstan,
00:50:14.01\00:50:17.31
the south from Russia.
00:50:17.35\00:50:22.02
So what we also need to
be praying about then is
00:50:22.05\00:50:24.22
the satellite
time is gonna be around
00:50:24.25\00:50:27.32
between now and
the end of the year
00:50:27.36\00:50:28.69
and then for next
year over $100,000.
00:50:28.72\00:50:31.49
Yes, that's right.
00:50:31.53\00:50:32.86
And without that satellite
00:50:32.89\00:50:34.23
they can't be
reaching all of these other,
00:50:34.26\00:50:36.13
so the Lord has blessed.
00:50:36.16\00:50:38.03
In fact one individual
00:50:38.07\00:50:39.40
in the last two years have said,
00:50:39.43\00:50:41.04
I will do this.
00:50:41.07\00:50:42.67
And so we're praying
that you all can support
00:50:42.70\00:50:45.64
because we don't know
what's gonna happen this year,
00:50:45.67\00:50:48.18
but we really,
00:50:48.21\00:50:50.15
I mean this is a must. It is.
00:50:50.18\00:50:51.78
To stay on cable,
00:50:51.81\00:50:53.15
or to stay on satellites
00:50:53.18\00:50:54.52
so you can get all
these cable stations
00:50:54.55\00:50:56.69
and including these Muslim ones,
00:50:56.72\00:50:58.75
what an amazing
testimony, Julia.
00:50:58.79\00:51:02.76
Yeah, there are many more,
00:51:02.79\00:51:04.13
there are many more like
00:51:04.16\00:51:06.19
there is new satellite channel
covering the whole of Russia,
00:51:06.23\00:51:10.33
it is called Brava,
if you know Brava TV.
00:51:10.37\00:51:13.30
And they are for housewives
00:51:13.34\00:51:15.50
who are at home for
more family oriented.
00:51:15.54\00:51:19.34
They're already taking
two hours a week from us,
00:51:19.37\00:51:22.54
nationwide.
00:51:22.58\00:51:23.91
3ABN Russia will be nationwide
through that Brava TV.
00:51:23.95\00:51:27.18
Isn't that amazing? Yeah.
00:51:27.22\00:51:29.55
It's amazing.
00:51:29.58\00:51:32.79
Yeah, that's amazing.
00:51:32.82\00:51:34.52
Yeah, God
continues to open the door
00:51:34.56\00:51:36.22
and that's because
Jesus is coming soon.
00:51:36.26\00:51:40.06
That's right.
00:51:40.10\00:51:41.43
He wants to reach
everyone. Absolutely.
00:51:41.46\00:51:43.00
Yeah, and you know, let
me say one little thing.
00:51:43.03\00:51:44.70
I know that very many
people in the United States
00:51:44.73\00:51:46.94
have been
concerned about some new laws
00:51:46.97\00:51:48.77
that are being passed in Russia.
00:51:48.80\00:51:50.97
First of all the bad
law was changed at the end,
00:51:51.01\00:51:54.78
the wording to it was
changed so it's not that bad.
00:51:54.81\00:51:57.21
But we don't know
00:51:57.25\00:51:58.58
what bad potential it has in it,
00:51:58.61\00:51:59.95
but what we're
witnessing is that
00:51:59.98\00:52:01.85
the Lord apposing
this tendency you know,
00:52:01.88\00:52:05.39
he creates all those new cable
00:52:05.42\00:52:06.76
companies...
00:52:06.79\00:52:08.12
He's opening doors.
Yeah, it's about economy.
00:52:08.16\00:52:09.66
They need new
content to have more money
00:52:09.69\00:52:11.93
and they want us.
00:52:11.96\00:52:13.29
We hear it's all closing
and it's actually opening.
00:52:13.33\00:52:17.60
I think we have an address roll,
00:52:17.63\00:52:19.20
if the Holy Spirit is impressing
00:52:19.23\00:52:20.64

This had been an
incredible program.
00:53:14.16\00:53:15.66
Oh, it had.
00:53:15.69\00:53:17.03
Can't believe the time, it
looks like it's almost gone,
00:53:17.06\00:53:18.39
you know.
00:53:18.43\00:53:19.76
I know, I know, it
flies, it flies by.
00:53:19.79\00:53:21.23
It surely does. But
thank you, Julia, so much.
00:53:21.26\00:53:23.10
What we're gonna do,
00:53:23.13\00:53:24.47
we're gonna take
just a short break,
00:53:24.50\00:53:25.83
we're gonna go to a newsbreak,
00:53:25.87\00:53:27.20
then come back
with a closing thought.
00:53:27.24\00:53:28.84
