You know these folk, don't you? 01:22 I do. I'm privileged to know them. 01:25 All right, we have John and Rosemary Malkiewycz 01:28 all the way from Down Under, 01:30 Australia, or how should you say it? 01:32 Australia. Oh, she's done pretty good. 01:34 Is that pretty good, Australia? 01:37 Not bad, Yvonne. There you go. 01:38 I didn't know I said it like that. 01:41 Yeah, and you said "can't" a while ago, right? 01:43 Can't. 01:45 Yeah, I can't do this or I can't do that. 01:47 And so we say can't 01:48 and sometimes depending where you're from, 01:50 you say, can't, 01:51 "Can't do this or can't do that." 01:53 Can't do that. 01:54 But, you know, what's great about it, 01:55 we understand each other, right? 01:57 And very well, and we understand... 02:00 More than the outward appearance, 02:01 we understand the heart. 02:02 That's right. And so we met... 02:04 How many years ago 02:05 was probably the first time that we... 02:06 2004. Okay. 02:08 So quite a while ago, 14 years or so ago. 02:12 And we found these folk love the Lord. 02:16 They were traveling across Australia 02:17 putting in dishes so people could receive 3ABN. 02:22 That was a real good job. 02:24 It was real as you enjoyed the travel 02:26 and you got to meet lots of people. 02:28 Didn't have a big production center and crews... 02:31 No. No. 02:32 And satellite bills to cover and minister. 02:36 Actually, 2004 02:37 was the first time we came here. 02:39 We'd been doing the work down there before that. 02:42 Yeah, so I thought, we probably knew of you, 02:45 but it's been 14 years since you actually came here, 02:48 probably 15 or 16 years or so, 02:51 'cause I know they were traveling... 02:52 They had this little green vehicle, 02:54 they call it Kermit. 02:56 Okay, like a little frog. 02:57 It's not easy getting green. 02:58 It got known all over the world as Kermit. 03:00 "What's happened to Kermit?" 03:01 Yeah, and, you know, Yvonne sang original duet 03:04 with Kermit the Frog, it's not easy being green, 03:07 so, on Sesame Street. 03:09 Actually, the first time you talked to us 03:10 was through a telephone, 03:14 and we're out in the outback of Australia. 03:16 And I can remember, we were sitting there 03:18 and a big camel came up 03:20 and wanted to take part in it too. 03:24 That was a New Year's Eve special. 03:27 We had a telephone linkup. All right. 03:28 Well, what an amazing run you've had 03:32 and still have, we'll call it. 03:33 Because all of these years, to think what you were doing 03:37 would turn into what you're doing now, 03:39 to be able to reach millions of people 03:41 in the Pacific Rim area through the satellites 03:44 and through the down links and through VAST or VAST, 03:49 depending on how you want to say it, that system. 03:51 We'll talk a little bit about that too. 03:52 But before we do, and we go any further, 03:55 first of all, we're so thankful that you're here. 03:57 They're brothers and sisters in the Lord. 03:59 But we have some special music today, 04:01 Brother Adrian Westney Jr. 04:04 And he's going to be playing on the piano 04:06 "Redeemed". 04:07 Oh, great. 08:51 Amen. What a gift! 08:53 Yeah, absolutely. What a wonderful gift... 08:54 And he sings too, of course, you know. 08:58 Some people have all the talent, you know. 08:59 I know. 09:00 They sing, they play, 09:02 no telling what else they can do, you know, but... 09:03 Well, you sing and play. You sing, and you play guitar. 09:05 Well, I do, but it's different league. 09:07 I don't play any instrument. 09:09 It's a different league, I just do my own little thing, 09:11 you know, but, no, he does a great job. 09:13 Thank you so much for what you do. 09:14 Thank you, Brother Adrian. 09:15 We're back here with Brother John and Rosemary. 09:17 I was going to say, my mum says she loves it 09:20 when a man plays a piano. 09:21 Yeah, okay. 09:22 She really enjoys that. 09:24 A lot of these guys like, he and Tim Parton, 09:26 I call it they dominate the piano 09:28 'cause they just hit it so hard and strong. 09:30 That's a good way to describe it. 09:31 And they just really, you know, really dominate. 09:33 Maybe that's what she likes 09:35 how they play with such confidence, you know. 09:37 But there are some great women... 09:39 She just loves men doing it. 09:40 There are some great women piano players as well. 09:42 And it's a gift, all of it is a gift from God. 09:44 We each have gifts, 09:46 no matter if you're sitting at home 09:47 and saying, "Well, I can't do this or that." 09:49 I see guitar players and I'm like, 09:51 "Boy, I wish I could play. 09:53 I really would love..." 09:54 In fact, when I was younger, 09:55 I was probably 16, 17 years old, 09:58 I remember, I told my dad once, 10:00 "Man, I wish I could play like that." 10:02 He said, "No, you don't." 10:03 I said, "No, I do, Dad." 10:05 We had a guy over to the house, Cliff Martin, 10:07 he was great guitar player, and I said, 10:08 "Man, I'd like to play like Cliff." 10:10 He said, "Well, I don't see you practicing very much." 10:13 And if you want to play like Cliff... 10:15 That's a good point. 10:16 You know, at that time, Cliff was probably late 40s, 10:18 he said, "I've known him all of his life, 10:19 he plays the guitar every day, and he loves it, 10:23 and you want to go play basketball. 10:25 You want to be outside playing, 10:26 you know, whatever you can do outside. 10:28 You only play when it's raining outside 10:30 and you can't do something else. 10:31 So you really don't want to play like Cliff. 10:34 If you did, you'll be playing every day." 10:37 Then he said, "Now your brother, Tommy, 10:39 he really wants to play the piano 10:40 'cause he played every day." 10:42 And so therefore, to this day, Tommy is a great musician, 10:45 and I'm just kind of stumbling along. 10:47 Anyway, that's not why we're here today to talk about. 10:50 We're talking to John and Rosemary. 10:51 We want to find out about 3ABN Australia. 10:54 You've got some great reports. 10:56 I'm going to turn you loose with it. 10:57 Okay. Do you want to start? 10:59 I want to start. 11:00 We've just enjoyed having 11:02 3ABN Spring Camp Meeting here in America, 11:05 and we thought, you know, people have being saying, 11:07 "Why don't you have one of these 11:08 in Australia, Danny?" 11:10 And so it's now 15 years this August 11:12 that we started with 3ABN Australia. 11:15 And we thought we'll take the step in faith 11:19 hoping that the viewers that who'll see this program today 11:22 will be encouraged to come along 11:24 and be part of 3ABN Homecoming in Australia. 11:27 Okay. 11:28 And we want to share a little bit about 11:30 where it is and where you can go 11:32 and how you can be involved because... 11:33 Absolutely. 11:34 This is not the same as camp meetings 11:36 that we normally see in our country. 11:39 This is more of a spiritual feast 11:41 where you get to hear the truth in a powerful way. 11:45 Similar to what we did here. Similar to what you did here. 11:48 Now did I understand right or I heard that 11:50 there were people here that said they wanted 11:52 to go to Australia for the Homecoming? 11:55 Yeah, we're worried about that, Dan. 11:56 No, no, I'm not. I'm not. I think it's big way. 11:57 People from our camp meeting, when they heard about it said, 11:59 "Well, we want to go to Australia. 12:01 We want to be there." 12:02 Wonderful. 12:04 And, you know what, I have a feeling some folk will. 12:05 I hope so. Yeah. 12:06 It'll be great to get people from outside of Australia 12:09 to come and join us. 12:11 If you are in Asia, come, in Europe, 12:15 if you ever want to come to Australia, 12:17 this is the time to come. 12:18 I hear from everyone that we talked to while we're here, 12:21 they'd say, "I dream to come to America." 12:23 Well, this is your chance. To Australia. 12:24 To Australia, sorry. This is your chance. 12:27 Now we're having the Homecoming, 12:28 and we've got a venue for the Homecoming, 12:30 but we're having another rally as well after that. 12:34 And the Homecoming is going to be 12:36 at Avondale Memorial Church in Cooranbong 12:38 in New South Wales from the Thursday, 12:42 11th of October in the evening to the afternoon of Sunday, 12:47 October 14. 12:49 So it's going to go Thursday night, all Friday, 12:52 all Sabbath, and Sunday morning. 12:54 So that's why it's a spiritual feast, 12:56 now that the church, 12:58 the Avondale Memorial Church, just outside the college. 12:59 Yes. Oh, okay. All right. That's wonderful. 13:01 The big church. Yeah, the big church. 13:03 Wonderful. We've been there before. 13:05 The people come out and support. 13:09 It's great, and we love meeting the folk there 13:11 and getting this make reacquainting 13:13 with some of the people. 13:14 It's neat. 13:15 And then we're going to have the following weekend 13:17 from the Friday night and the Sabbath, 13:20 19th and 20th of October, 13:22 we'll be in Launceston in Tasmania, 13:26 just for the that Friday night Sabbath. 13:29 And we're going to be doing a rally down there 13:31 for the people in Tasmania 'cause it's harder for them 13:33 to get to the mainland, 13:35 to be able to come up to Cooranbong. 13:36 The mainland is the big island. 13:38 Yeah, Tasmania is a state of Australia. 13:40 It's a little teardrop on the bottom, 13:42 right at the very bottom on the East Coast. 13:45 So we've got a map that we can show people 13:48 where it's going to be. 13:49 So we'll have a look at the map. 13:50 Absolutely, let's do it. Let's do it. 13:53 Here we go. 13:54 There's Australia, a beautiful country. 13:56 And that's Cooranbong where that red dot is 14:00 where it will be from the 11th to the 14th. 14:03 And then we go down to Launceston down in Tasmania. 14:07 Oh, okay. 14:08 For the 19th and 20th. 14:10 What's that, a couple hour flight maybe? 14:11 Couple of hours from Sydney. 14:13 It's interesting, Danny... 14:14 The venue is yet to be announced for Launceston. 14:18 You know, Yvonne, Australia is known 14:21 for its kangaroos, its koalas. 14:23 Tasmania is known for the little Tasmanian devil. 14:25 So if you want to come, 14:27 you'll get a chance to see these things. 14:31 That would be interesting. That's true. 14:32 Absolutely, so the camp meeting then, 14:34 we're going to have quite a few folk from here. 14:36 Uh-huh. 14:37 I think Yvonne and I will be there. 14:39 Pastor John and Angie Lomacang will be there, 14:42 Greg and Jill Morikone will be there, 14:44 and Ryan Day who just sang on... 14:47 Did an incredible job singing, 14:50 himself and with you 14:51 on more than wonderful on this project, 14:53 I think Ryan will be there 14:55 and who else is going to be there? 14:57 Tim Parton. Tim Parton. 14:58 Oh, Tim Parton, great piano player, 15:00 great musician, and singer. 15:01 And singer. 15:03 He's one of those that's got it all too. 15:04 And Ryan is also a preacher. 15:05 Ryan's a preacher, Seventh-day Adventist preacher. 15:07 And he sings and preaches, so. 15:08 Absolutely, and so... 15:10 And John preaches, John Lomacang. 15:11 Yeah, and who knows who else, but we're going to do 15:14 a lot of the music from this brand-new project, 15:16 Give Him Glory, that literally was songs written 15:20 for the three angels' messages for present truth. 15:23 And so if there's ever a time that we needed to be giving it, 15:26 it's now. 15:28 And we look forward to taking this same message to Australia 15:32 and get this, the message and music, 15:34 where a lot of people will listen to music, 15:36 but they won't listen to preaching. 15:37 That's very true. 15:39 And they're afraid of Daniel and Revelation, 15:40 they tell us, a lot of the churches... 15:42 In fact, one of the writers, Lanny Wolfe had said, 15:44 "I was always afraid of Daniel and Revelation 15:46 because my church never taught it." 15:48 But now, of course, he supports it, believes it, 15:50 and I believe he's going to continue to preach it, 15:53 but he's definitely preaching it 15:55 through his music. 15:56 Well, we're going to have a couple of concerts, 15:58 including going through Give Him Glory, 16:02 the pillars, well, not the pillars 16:04 but the maiden project. 16:07 Yes, Give Him Glory. 16:08 And also we'll have other music from some local people 16:12 as well as the 3ABN group. 16:13 Okay. 16:14 And we'll have Pastor Jeff Lomacang, 16:17 sorry, Pastor Geoff Youlden, 16:19 who is a very well-known Australian evangelist, 16:24 but he's been around the world doing evangelism as well. 16:28 He said he'll speak to Dr. Allan Lindsay 16:30 from Keepers of The Flame. 16:32 He said that he will do something. 16:34 We have young Charissa Fong. 16:36 Oh, yeah. She is very well-known. 16:38 We have her on 3ABN. 16:39 And also Gary Kent from the Incredible Journey 16:42 has said what he will speak. 16:44 So they all appear on 3ABN, 16:47 and so we've got them lined up as well. 16:49 All right, it's going to be great. 16:51 You're inviting everybody that's watching to come? 16:54 Yes, definitely. 16:56 But they just have to pay for themselves. 17:00 You have to pay for your own way there, 17:01 but I think they know that by now. 17:03 So... 17:04 But we'll also have more information on our website 17:07 as we organize more. 17:09 Okay, we'll put that address up pretty soon. 17:10 Because we're still getting it done. 17:12 Okay. Yes. 17:13 So then that information will be available soon 17:15 so people can then book some accommodation 17:18 and book their however they're going to get there. 17:21 Sure. Okay. And come along. 17:23 Go ahead. 17:25 So this is a historic event 17:26 because it is the very first Homecoming 17:29 after 15 years, right? 17:30 That's right. Yeah. 17:32 So what a beautiful... 17:33 Because 3ABN is a family, so we're having Homecoming. 17:36 There you go, okay. I like it, yeah. 17:38 People say that 3ABN is their family, 17:40 so let's get together. 17:42 Nice, nice. 17:43 And you never really know, you know, 17:45 it's so great when we have camp meeting here 17:47 because you don't know who's watching 17:50 until they come and they say, 17:51 "Oh, we're so blessed by 3ABN 17:53 and, of course, Dare to Dream" And so... 17:57 I had to put that a shameless plug in. 18:00 And so, you know, you just never know, 18:02 and it's so great for you to connect with people 18:05 who are watching, and they love to meet you, 18:08 and just kind of get a personal glimpse 18:10 of who you are. 18:11 So it's a beautiful thing, 18:13 and it's so spiritually rejuvenating. 18:15 Absolutely. I think that's really... 18:17 It's really key. 18:19 You know, Danny, you mentioned VAST, VAST, 18:22 and I know there are some viewers 18:24 who may be watching this 18:26 that are watching on VAST for the first time 18:28 or they've been watching it for a period of time, 18:30 we want to invite especially you 18:33 because we know that many remote areas in Australia 18:35 don't have an opportunity, but this is an opportunity 18:38 you can take. 18:39 In Tasmania, for example, 18:40 there are quite a few VAST viewers, 18:42 and we want to encourage you to come to our program 18:45 to meet this family. 18:47 And I think you will be richly blessed. 18:49 Yeah, absolutely. 18:50 You know, and our family goes outside 18:52 to Seventh-day Adventist Church, 18:54 family of God is all of us who love Jesus 18:57 and are willing to publicly proclaim. 19:01 You don't have to be 19:02 a Seventh-day Adventist to come. 19:04 You know, this is for everybody. 19:05 If you're a Christian, if you're not a Christian, 19:07 maybe you want to be, we actually had someone 19:09 who came from Pakistan 19:11 who said he really wanted to be a Christian, 19:13 watches 3ABN and, I'm told, 19:15 gave his heart to the Lord here at the camp meeting 19:17 that really just finalized. 19:19 He'd been in the process but came all the way. 19:21 So maybe you want to come 19:23 to the 3ABN Australia Homecoming 19:27 there at Avondale. 19:29 And so I think it's going to be great time, 19:32 we're going to look forward to it. 19:33 We're going to pray God's richest blessings 19:36 for the anointing of the Holy Spirit 19:38 that we'll see things happen there 19:39 that maybe we haven't seen in a long time if ever, 19:42 but what a way to get the three angels' messages 19:44 to the world. 19:46 That's right. 19:47 And now another thing we wanted to talk about, 19:48 the type of programs we're making, 19:50 'cause some people even here at 3ABN don't understand 19:53 what 3ABN Australia is doing. 19:55 We don't have our own channel in Australia. 20:00 We actually make programs in the studios down there 20:04 to supplement 3ABN's line up. 20:08 So we send our programs here 20:11 once we've made them, 20:13 they've been edited and everything. 20:14 And they go up on to 3ABN International 20:17 which is seen from over Iceland, England 20:22 and through to New Zealand 20:23 and from Russia to South Africa. 20:26 So that huge part of the world 20:28 actually gets the 3ABN International 20:31 signal through satellite. 20:33 But, of course, the whole world can watch now 20:35 through internet. 20:36 That's right. That's exciting. 20:37 So people in other parts of the world 20:39 can watch and on our website. 20:40 You can actually go and watch programs 20:43 on catch-up for three weeks. 20:45 Once it's aired, for three weeks it's available 20:48 to watch and then anytime you want. 20:50 That's pretty good, called catch-up. 20:52 We call it programming on demand, 20:54 and they call it catch-up. 20:55 I think I like catch-up better. 20:57 We can catch-up on the program. 20:58 That's right. I got it. I got it. I like it. 21:00 And so all of our programs are available that way 21:03 for three weeks after they've aired. 21:04 And then they... 21:06 If they're in a cycle or like a season or something, 21:08 then it can come back around, you can watch it again 21:10 if missed it in that three weeks. 21:11 Nice. 21:13 You know, what's exciting, Danny, 21:14 we attended some camp meetings recently 21:16 just in the last couple of months, 21:17 and we're finding older folk 21:19 getting more and more this new technology, you know. 21:21 Yeah, absolutely. 21:23 Smartphones, and I was showing them 21:25 that you can download a free app, 21:27 and you can do that, 3ABN, 21:30 and you can actually go on there 21:31 and look at all the programs. 21:33 And if you haven't done that, I'd encourage you 21:34 because they were absolutely fascinated by it 21:37 because they can actually put on the music 21:39 24-hour music channel, radio channel, 21:43 and they can blue... 21:45 What is it? Bluetooth. 21:46 Bluetooth to the radio in the car, 21:49 they can listen to 3ABN wherever they go. 21:51 And they just said, "That's fantastic." 21:53 We do that. Yeah. 21:54 And when we're traveling, I put on my phone, 21:57 I put the 3ABN Radio on there, 21:59 and we listen as we drive along. 22:01 Yes. 22:02 And you can listen to 3ABN Australia Radio on there also, 22:05 so there's a choice. Incredible. 22:07 God has made a way through technology 22:09 for the gospel to get everywhere 22:11 really quickly. 22:13 I mean, we are, as we say here in... 22:17 The toenails of the image of that. 22:19 And so it's just... 22:21 God has made a way through technology 22:23 for every human being to hear the gospel. 22:27 They even get more excited when they say, 22:29 "Can we watch it on there?" 22:31 And I say, "Yes, but don't use it too much 22:33 because you'll use up all your data." 22:34 Yeah. 22:36 Now the programs that we make, we have an interview program 22:41 like this one... 22:43 Okay. That John and I host that. 22:44 What's it called? 3ABN Now. 22:47 Oh, nice. 22:48 And I want to just show you a photo of some people 22:50 that we have interviewed. 22:52 This is just a few of them that you would know. 22:55 Okay? 22:56 Now Clifford Goldstein, now that was interesting, 22:58 Jaime Jorge. Uh-huh. 23:01 And the next one is... He's an incredible violinist. 23:05 The next one after Jaime Jorge 23:07 will be Kay Kuzma. 23:08 You know Kay Kuzma really well. 23:10 Absolutely, for a long time. 23:11 And then we have Manuel Escorcio 23:13 from South Africa. 23:14 He's been here at different times 23:16 doing music over the years. 23:17 And this one you know, Nyse Collins. 23:19 Oh, yes. 23:20 He's on Dare to Dream too. Yeah, that's right. 23:23 And the next one is Tom Evans. 23:25 Now Tom's from Texas, 23:26 and he's our New Conference President. 23:28 Okay. 23:29 He knows Jim Gilley really well, 23:31 and so Tom came on. 23:33 Got a 3ABN panel on too... They all do. 23:37 But the next one is the one we did last year, 23:40 and it's all the staff with Ted and Nancy Wilson. 23:42 Oh, great. 23:43 So they came on a Sunday, 23:45 it's the only time they had available 23:48 and dropped in to do an interview with us. 23:49 That's so great. It was really, really lovely. 23:51 It was a pleasure to meet them. Yes. 23:53 And we had a really good time 23:55 talking with them on the program. 23:57 That's not all our staff, that's some of them. 23:59 Now this is Let God Speak, our Sabbath School Program. 24:02 And that's some of the panel, we have two panel members 24:04 and a host. 24:06 And they talk about the Sabbath School lesson 24:08 as they're going through. 24:10 Okay. Wonderful. 24:11 So there's one another program we make. 24:13 Now this is Eddie, Dr. Eddie Ramirez. 24:15 He has been in our health and living programs, 24:18 and he's coming back to do more. 24:20 This will be the third time he's been with us. 24:22 Very interesting man, he works at Weimar, 24:24 and he's the Research Specialist 24:27 for Neil Nedley. 24:29 He's a doctor also. Yeah. 24:30 And this is Dr. Andrew Pennington 24:33 from Sydney with our hostess for the program, 24:36 Margot Marshall, and this is on the set 24:39 for the last series that we did. 24:41 Great. 24:42 This is the Food Sense set. 24:43 That's our video roll at the back 24:45 with all the fruit and vegetable. 24:47 And we did a pseudo shopping center. 24:50 Nice. 24:51 And I'm going to the supermarket. 24:53 And it was really lots of fun with the five people 24:59 who had products because we couldn't go 25:00 into the supermarket so we did it in the studio. 25:03 We brought the supermarket to us. 25:06 That's the way to do it. 25:07 Yeah, and we've also got some short B rolls 25:13 from that Food Sense program that we'd like to show you. 25:16 Great. It was lots of fun. 25:19 There's a myth out there that healthy food is expensive. 25:23 Today, I'm going to explode that myth. 25:30 Because the fact is 25:32 healthy food is the best value for money. 25:35 Now we've got some fruit juice here. 25:38 Okay, and it's good fruit juice, 25:40 it's not cordial, it's a fruit juice. 25:42 Where would you put fruit juice? 25:45 Green. You'd put it in green? 25:47 Why would you do that? It's got to be healthy. 25:48 It's healthy? 25:49 No. No? 25:51 You're shaking your head, Ross, but... 25:52 No, 'cause it's not the whole fruit. 25:54 It's not the whole fruit, where would you put it? 25:55 I'd put it in yellow. Okay. 25:59 Well, it does go up the top in the eat list. 26:05 Why? Why? 26:07 That's exactly why we're doing this, why. 26:10 Look, when you have fruit juice, 26:12 if you've ever squeezed oranges or whatever... 26:14 Yeah. 26:15 It'll take two and a half 26:16 three oranges to make one glass, 26:18 and it's quite nice, and it's easy to have 26:20 more than one glass, 26:21 and most of the fiber has been removed. 26:24 So do we have enough fiber in this country? 26:27 Nowhere near. 26:28 We're around about half as much as we should. 26:30 So that's not a good way to go. 26:32 And the other thing that happens 26:33 is it concentrates the sugars to do that, 26:36 the natural sugars are concentrated. 26:39 Do we get that as calories? 26:40 Do we have a weight problem in Australia? 26:43 No. Okay. 26:44 So for those reasons, it's a sometimes food. 26:46 It doesn't mean to say you never have it, 26:48 better to eat the whole fruit. 26:50 And I think you said that, Ross. 26:51 So go to the top of the class and take your books. 26:53 And you've got a little Kinder Surprise there. 26:55 A little Kinder Surprise. Okay. 26:57 Well, the kilogram of those would cost you $100. 27:00 What? No kidding. 27:03 What? A hundred dollars a kilo. 27:06 So and I know you don't buy kilos 27:08 but over time you do. 27:10 All right. 27:11 So there's a lot of interesting little shopping ideas on there, 27:15 and the whole idea of the program 27:17 is to help you save $2,000 a year or more 27:21 on your grocery shopping by buying healthy food 27:24 which is actually cheaper than the junk food. 27:28 Okay. Nice. 27:29 So it's comparing kilo by kilo 27:31 or here you would do it by pound. 27:33 Right. 27:34 The junk food compared to fresh groceries and things. 27:38 And it was very, very popular but it's airing, 27:41 and it's a good program, lots of fun and lots of love. 27:44 Yeah, yeah. 27:45 And very enjoyable. 27:47 Now we also have a children's series which is... 27:50 We've just filmed this year the fifth season of this, 27:54 and we've gone from Genesis to, basically, Malachi, 27:59 the story of Ezra and Nehemiah through the Old Testament. 28:03 So we've got the Old Testament covered for the children... 28:06 Wonderful. That's great. Oh, that's great. 28:07 In five seasons, and we've got two photos, 28:11 I'm just going to show you two photos on that, 28:13 with one is of 28:14 one of our earlier programs from season... 28:18 Oh, this is season five. 28:20 This is our latest season. 28:21 We did some revamping of the set. 28:24 And that one's season four. Okay. 28:26 And this is the children all wear their purple 28:28 a Day with the King t-shirts. 28:32 The program is all about opening Sabbath. 28:34 Oh, that's great. 28:35 So we have music, 28:36 we have story time with Dr. John Hammond. 28:39 And we have a Bible study for the children, 28:42 and we have these devotionals 28:44 which actually go along with the Bible study. 28:45 Okay. 28:47 And in the devotionals, there's different days. 28:49 We've got some pictures here 28:51 to show you some of the devotionals 28:53 and going through the devotionals. 28:55 There's something for the kids to do every day of the week. 28:58 That's great. 28:59 And these can be downloaded 29:01 from the a Day with the King website. 29:04 And there's three different ways you can print it 29:07 depending on how you want it for your children. 29:10 And there's one for every week, and now we've got five seasons. 29:14 That's over... 29:15 Well, that's a year and a quarter's worth 29:17 of these will be available. 29:18 Wow. Once season five is... 29:21 Season five will be up there for people to download. 29:24 We find that a lot of children who are home-schooled, 29:27 they like this because then they can use it 29:29 part of their teaching program. 29:30 Sure. Yeah. 29:32 And A Day with the King is now on Kids TV. 29:35 Okay. 29:36 So the website or the number of people 29:41 who are downloading these... 29:43 Exploded. 29:44 These daily devotionals has really 29:47 gone up exponentially 29:49 since it's been available in the U.S. 29:50 That is so nice. 29:52 I was going to ask, how can people 29:54 in the U.S. get that, but just go to... 29:56 Just go to the website. 29:58 ADayWithTheKing.com ADayWithTheKing.com 30:01 Yeah, I don't think it's dot au. 30:03 No. Yeah. 30:05 It might be on the back of this even. 30:07 Okay. 30:08 ADayWithTheKing.com 30:10 That's okay. Wonderful. 30:11 And so it's for the children, 30:13 but anybody who wants to learn the Old Testament 30:16 and the stories that are in there, 30:17 including Daniel. 30:19 The season five includes all the things 30:21 to do with Daniel and the prophecies. 30:23 Okay. 30:24 When we talk to people from Africa 30:26 and up at the islands, they love this program 30:29 because the adults find it easy to follow. 30:32 And so and they love kids doing things. 30:34 Yeah, sure. 30:36 A lot of people love kids programs. 30:37 Absolutely. 30:39 There was something else I wanted to tell you too 30:40 in reference to the interviews we do. 30:42 We've done nearly 200. 30:44 Wow. 30:45 I remember, Danny, 30:46 you said it's over 7,000, I think you said. 30:48 It was quite a while ago, probably more than that. 30:51 I think we've done around about 197, somewhere like that. 30:54 So we're almost up to 200 interviews, 30:57 which is really exciting. 30:59 All of this is why they said 31:00 when they were traveling around in Kermit, 31:02 just going from camp meeting to camp meeting 31:04 and place was so easy. 31:07 Exactly, we didn't have to find guest. 31:10 Yeah, but now, look how busy they are 31:12 with all that they are doing 31:13 Yes. But we've also... 31:15 I wanted to tell you, 31:16 some of the places that people 31:18 that we've interviewed have come from 31:20 either they're working there or they are from that country, 31:23 and these are some of the countries, 31:25 Solomon Islands in Pacific, Papua New Guinea, France, 31:29 East Germany, Poland, Nepal, Singapore, Thailand, Holland, 31:33 Hawaii, which isn't the country, but... 31:35 Sure. 31:36 That was okay, Zambia, Zimbabwe, Burundi, New Zealand, 31:40 South Africa, former Yugoslavia, 31:42 we've had a number of people, 31:43 Canada, Romania, Peru, Brazil, and India. 31:47 As I was just going through some of the people, 31:49 we had interviewed before we came over, 31:51 and I found all... 31:53 Wow, look at all these countries. 31:54 You know, Danny, I remember you saying, 31:56 you know, we need to have a studio 31:58 because you'll be able to deal with interviews 32:01 down that part of the world, but it hasn't worked like that, 32:03 we're getting from all over the world. 32:06 Absolutely, but that's wonderful. 32:08 I mean on the international channel, 32:10 I mean, that says it all 32:12 but you guys are doing an incredible job. 32:15 And you actually, 32:16 they're very frugal with their money. 32:18 Yes, sir. 32:20 Have to be. Yeah. 32:21 Yeah, absolutely but they do a great job 32:23 and the programming is reaching people, 32:26 it's amazing. 32:27 Thank you so much. 32:28 We've got eight paid staff, full-time paid staff, 32:33 we've got like Margot 32:34 who does the Healthy Living is a full-time 32:37 or basically full-time volunteer. 32:39 And she's precious. 32:41 Peter, who is in charge of our audio 32:43 and send it all up in the first place. 32:45 He's a volunteer. 32:47 Most of our camera people are volunteers. 32:50 We have some reception staff who volunteer. 32:53 They come in maybe once a week 32:54 or if we're in emergency need someone to fill-in. 32:58 And we have other staff who are paid, 33:01 our bookkeeper is on contract, couple of times a week. 33:06 So we're working with a skeleton staff. 33:10 And so it can be really hard to do 33:12 some things we need to do like new programming. 33:15 We haven't got someone who's dedicated like 33:17 Dee or Cathy 33:19 in organizing programs and Shelley... 33:22 That's us. That's one of the hats. 33:24 But we do that, John does floor managing, 33:26 he does camera building. 33:29 I don't do makeup, Danny. 33:31 I do makeup, I do teleprompter, 33:34 I do floor managing, and whatever. 33:37 Sure. Reception. 33:38 And it's fun. Yeah. 33:40 Elizabeth does reception, she does cleaning, 33:43 she produces or burns off the DVDs, 33:46 does all the packaging 33:47 and mailing of products and things. 33:50 They are all doing multiple things, 33:52 even the production crew, 33:53 they all have different hats that they wear. 33:55 We all have to be multi-skilled. 33:57 So who conceptualizes the programming? 34:02 Well, it can be a bit of a joint effort. 34:04 Someone comes up with a program, idea, 34:06 and we can sit down, and talk about it, 34:08 and try and work out who we can get 34:10 to host something. 34:11 And so we do have a production team 34:15 that we do have a meeting once every now and then. 34:20 But generally, sometimes a staff member 34:24 will come up with an idea or John and I, 34:27 we pray very much about what we can do. 34:31 And then we try to implement something, 34:33 but it can take a while. You have some great programs. 34:35 It can take a while with the number of staff 34:37 that we have to do something, 34:38 but we've got these different series 34:40 that we're doing all the time, Healthy Living, 3ABN Now, 34:45 Let God Speak. 34:47 We have On The Road which we've done with 34:51 people like Cheri Peters, Brenda Walsh, 34:54 Jim Ayer as well as other people 34:56 and different conferences and things. 34:58 We've done Recovery Road 35:00 which is on international and faith versus finance, 35:06 which is on international. 35:07 We have done other ones with the Witness Conference 35:11 which has its own series. 35:13 And there are all sorts of different things 35:15 that we've done 35:17 that are once-off or just a standalone series. 35:21 You know, Rose, you mentioned that we really go to prayer 35:23 and ask God, and it's the safest way. 35:25 Yes. 35:26 But, you know, with that, 35:28 we have a lot of prayers answered. 35:30 And I remember, last year, 35:31 the same time in the same studio, 35:33 we had Ettienne McClintock, 35:35 who is our host and producer for radio, 35:38 and I remember him saying that we make programs, 35:41 and we have affiliates in Australia, 35:43 and at that time, we just had over 30 35:46 I think it was, and we decided that 35:49 we want to increase our reach out there. 35:51 So we all got together, and we prayed, 35:54 and Ettienne was praying to get more affiliates. 35:57 Well, I want to tell you today, Danny, 35:58 an answer to the prayer 35:59 that we have over a hundred affiliates. 36:01 That's in 12 months. Praise the Lord. 36:03 Radio? Radio. 36:04 Stations that are rebroadcasting 36:06 for our folks that take the signal 36:08 and rebroadcast it to their area. 36:09 That's right. 36:11 That's the Australian Radio, that's U.S. 36:12 plus Australian programs. 36:13 So that's just one year to the day virtually. 36:15 And you started with? 36:18 When Etienne came onboard, there was about 30, 36:22 and it might have been 40, 36:23 but it was somewhere at that low figure, 36:25 but we are over hundred now. 36:27 In Australia and New Zealand. 36:28 That's amazing. 36:29 And it continues to grow 36:31 because I get a little thing on there, 36:33 "Please, sign", you know, 36:35 when it comes through the internet, 36:36 and I sign it. 36:37 You must get those and listen too because... 36:39 I do, we do, we get them, and praise the Lord. 36:41 It's a good method. It's interesting. 36:43 Yes. 36:44 I sign a lot of them from Australia. 36:46 Absolutely. I want to... 36:47 I want to tell you an answer to prayer, a miracle... 36:51 Good. 36:52 That why we are actually here this year. 36:54 Okay. 36:55 Every year we come, John says, "I'm so glad we came, 36:58 I just really enjoy being here." 37:00 Watch it. 37:01 But every year, when it comes to coming over here, 37:04 he says, "I'm not going. 37:06 I am not going, we're not going this year. 37:09 We're too busy." 37:10 But really it's 'cause he hates the long flight. 37:12 Oh, I don't blame him. 37:14 He just can't stand sitting in, well, can't stand sitting in. 37:18 We don't have to fly, we can just get together 37:19 on Skype and talk about things. 37:21 No, Rose, we said, no, no, it's not the same. 37:24 So you're talking about like Sydney to LA 37:26 is like 15 hours or something, then you got to get 37:28 from LA to St. Louis, go through that... 37:30 Or we go through Dallas, 37:31 so Huston, that's a long flight, 37:34 the flight going home is scheduled to be 17 hours 37:37 from Houston. 37:38 To Sydney. 37:40 To Sydney, so it's a long time. And John... 37:43 I can't stand those long flights. 37:45 I know. 37:46 Anyway, I went into his office one day, 37:48 and I said, "John, I'm really feeling convicted 37:50 that we need to go to 3ABN this time." 37:55 And he says, "No, we're not going." 37:57 I said, "Well, I really think you should consider it 37:59 because I feel that we should be going, 38:01 we've got things to do, things to discuss." 38:04 They chip away at you, Dan. 38:07 I only went in once. I only went in once. 38:09 And I said to him that I think we should. 38:11 So anyway, I left him with it, and I went back to my office. 38:15 He came in after a while, and he said, "Well, 38:16 how much are the airfares?" 38:18 Well, this isn't very far away from coming, 38:21 and I looked up on the computer, 38:23 and they were about $1400, you know, around about that. 38:28 We go for the cheapest one, yeah, for the cheapest. 38:31 And he said, "Oh, that's not too bad, 38:33 especially for this so close to going." 38:36 And he said, 38:37 "We'll look at it tonight at home." 38:39 So we started looking at it that night at home. 38:41 My mum was visiting from Western Australia. 38:44 And John looked at the hours on the plane and said, 38:47 "We're not going. 38:48 We're just not going. 38:50 I'm not doing it. 38:51 I don't feel convicted that we need to go." 38:54 Anyway, so I just prayed saying, "Lord, I know, 38:57 I really believe You're convicting me." 38:59 Anyway, the next morning, he said, 39:03 "Okay, we'll look up tonight and book something tonight." 39:06 I said, "Okay." 39:08 So we went through, 39:09 we had some filming to do that day. 39:11 That night, we looked again, 39:13 and the airfares had gone up to over $1,800. 39:17 Oh, okay. 39:18 Just in that small time. 39:20 It seems like they have a cookie on the internet, 39:22 they know you're looking, 39:24 and so the next time, it goes up. 39:25 That's true. 39:27 And John said, "We're not going, 39:28 God's telling us not to go 39:30 by having the fares go up there." 39:31 I said, "Well, maybe Satan's trying to stop us from going." 39:34 Thank you. 39:36 Anyway, I did find, after a lot of looking, 39:38 I found an agent that was having fares, 39:42 you know, for $1,477 or something. 39:47 And I said, "Well, it's down to this." 39:49 And this time, he said... 39:51 "Get it now, get it now before it goes up." 39:52 "No, we're booking it, we're not going." 39:56 And so he went off and had a shower, 39:57 and I went off to the bedroom later, 39:59 and he said, "I'm going to pray about it, 40:01 and I'm going to put something before the Lord 40:04 because I have to know 40:06 that we definitely should be going." 40:08 So he did that, and I went to have a shower, 40:10 and I just prayed, "Lord, you know, 40:12 what he's praying, I have not got a clue 40:13 what he's saying to You, 40:16 but I believe that we're supposed to go. 40:18 If I'm wrong, I'm happy to accept that. 40:21 But if You want us to go, 40:23 You're going to have to answer his prayer. 40:25 You're going to have to do something to prove it." 40:26 All right. 40:28 So I went to bed, the next day we got up, 40:29 we had filming in the morning, filming in the afternoon. 40:32 And after the morning filming was over, 40:35 I went home, picked up my mum, 40:36 brought her back to work for lunch, 40:38 John said, "Come with me." 40:41 And he took me up to his office, 40:43 and on the way, he told me that he'd gone to the website 40:46 where it had said 1,477 the night before, 40:48 and he had looked on there, 40:50 and he had prayed to God, "If You want us to go, 40:54 we have to get something under $1,300." 40:56 I said... I made a mistake, Danny. 40:59 I said, "That's impossible. 41:01 Last night, they were up at 1,800, 41:03 the lowest was 1,477. 41:06 That's impossible to get something under 1,300." 41:08 He said, "Well, that's what I prayed, 41:11 I went and I looked on the websites 41:12 on the internet, and I found some at that place 41:15 that you've had the cheaper airfare, 41:17 and it was $1,303.66." 41:21 Thirteen hundred. 41:22 I was home free, 41:24 and he showed me on his computer, 41:25 and he said, but then I looked up the top 41:27 and it said 50%... 41:30 Fifty dollar. 41:31 Fifty dollar bonus or something. 41:33 So I clicked on it, 41:34 I shouldn't have clicked on it. 41:36 And it said you have to ring the agent, 41:38 well, there was an agent 20 minutes away in a store. 41:42 Very unusual, that was. 41:43 Yeah. Yeah. 41:45 And so he rang them and they said, 41:46 "You have to come into the shop to get that discount." 41:50 And he said, "Well, I'm up here, 41:51 and I'd have to take time off work. 41:53 Is it possible to extend that to me?" 41:57 And the girl said, "Well, I'll have to go 41:58 and talk to the manager, I'll ring you back." 42:00 So he's telling me this, 42:02 and he's showing me his computer, 42:03 and the phone rang, right then, 42:05 and it was the girl from the travel agent. 42:07 She said, "I went and spoke to the manager, 42:08 and the manager said yes. 42:10 The manager would let you have it. 42:11 So your air fares are going to be $1,254.66." 42:16 And John said, "We'll take them." 42:18 All right. 42:19 How can you argue with that? 42:20 But then they sent through the invoice, 42:23 and they had a fee on top of it, 42:25 and it came out to $1,297.66. 42:29 See that. 42:31 And I said, "It is still under $1,300." 42:34 So that's why we're here. 42:35 I kind of figured if I had it down at $1,300, 42:37 that was guarantee that we're good to go. 42:40 And he said, "I should have made it 500." 42:42 But now, you're out here, you're glad that you came. 42:45 I am. He always is when he gets here. 42:47 Yeah. 42:49 But then we got to look at the journey going home. 42:50 Oh, it's the same way. 42:52 I'm that way about going there, going to Australia. 42:54 I mean when you don't like to sit 42:57 and, you know, it's just not comfortable 43:00 and you're flying all the way, you know, you go to LA, 43:03 and that takes hours, and then you get on a flight 43:06 that's 15 hours non-stop or so, sometimes more, coming back. 43:10 And then once you get there, it's another two, 43:12 two and a half hours if we go where we're going. 43:15 So it's very easy to talk your way out of it. 43:17 Yes, it is. 43:18 We usually say, "Well, if the Lord wants us here, 43:20 He lets us know and then we'll go and do it." 43:23 You know what, what a privilege that 43:24 we up to this point have been able to travel that's the way. 43:28 I used to hate traveling, I used to hate driving. 43:31 Yvonne knows now, 43:32 we've driven to Florida and back. 43:34 Yeah. I never do that. 43:35 I didn't like driving to West Frankfort and back, 43:37 I travel so much, and that's 10 minutes away. 43:40 Right. 43:41 But now I said, "You know what, 43:43 at our age to be able to have the health so far to do this, 43:47 let's just do it and praise the Lord 43:48 and be glad." 43:50 And that's what we're doing. 43:51 I said to John, "You've just got to think, 43:53 while I'm stuck on that plane, it's down time. 43:55 It's time to vegetate, 43:57 it's time to just relax to do what I want to do." 44:00 Or write your book. 44:02 Or write your next book, that's right. 44:03 We read a book. 44:04 You guys got to write your story, you got it? 44:06 Yeah, we got to get your story written. 44:07 We're starting to put down some of God's answered prayers, 44:11 so we can put them on the internet. 44:12 Nice. 44:14 Do that 'cause should the Lord tarry, 44:15 we're all not going to be here forever, 44:16 so let's get the stories down so they're there 44:19 and people for however long afterwards. 44:22 We've had some exciting answers to prayer, 44:24 especially recently, haven't we? 44:26 Yeah. 44:27 I mean, that one was just one illustration 44:29 that God showed John, "I want you there. 44:33 You have to be there." 44:34 But John lost his phone, 44:36 and we had the most incredible answer to prayer, 44:38 finding the phone out in the country 44:41 where we had been a couple of days 44:42 before on the side of the road. 44:45 Oh, my. Nearly out of battery. 44:46 Yeah. 44:48 But we'd have tell you that story 44:49 some other time, there's not a lot time now. 44:50 There's a lot more we could say, 44:52 but time is short, but we just feel that 44:55 we've been really blessed in Australia 44:58 and, you know, our viewers out there 45:00 have supported 3ABN Australia. 45:03 I can remember, Danny, when you were saying... 45:06 You were talking on 3ABN Today program, 45:08 and we were actually watching, 45:10 standing at the back of our seats, watching you, 45:12 and you looked up, and you said, 45:14 "John and Rosemary, if you got any your reason 45:16 why I shouldn't sign the contract 45:17 to go to our Optus D2, that's people in Australia... 45:20 Contact me." 45:22 And, you know, I actually felt like 45:24 I was sweating great drops of blood to make that happen. 45:26 I'm standing there... 45:27 I'm standing there saying, "Sign it, sign it." 45:29 That was Rosemary. 45:32 And I'm saying, "I don't know about this." 45:34 Because I'd written in a question 45:35 to the guest that you had. 45:38 Okay. You said, "Oh, this is John. 45:39 I'm going to sign this contract." 45:41 So... 45:42 "Oh, I have a live television..." 45:44 I'm in Australia listening to you 45:46 giving me a live message, and you can't hear my reply. 45:50 And when I think about that, 45:52 it really shows how faithful God is. 45:56 Because He said, "If you do My work," you know, 45:59 we didn't plan to do this, really we didn't. 46:01 I know. 46:02 And God has provided the money now for 15 years 46:05 to pay that satellite, and when you add it up, 46:08 it comes to millions, and I'm thinking, 46:11 "Where did that come from?" 46:12 I know. Where did it come from? 46:14 Faithful people. Yeah, absolutely. 46:16 Faithful people. 46:17 That's what it all boils down to. 46:19 But they don't give just to be giving, 46:20 they give because they see the gospel, 46:23 the three angels' messages reaching people 46:26 that has never been reached before, 46:28 and it's the commitment from that. 46:30 And if you guys weren't being frugal, if you weren't, 46:33 you know, producing, 46:35 so to speak, people wouldn't give. 46:37 So we want to say thank you for you guys 46:40 being so faithful to the Lord, and your programming, 46:42 and your outreach, and witnessing, 46:44 and going to places you really don't want to go 46:48 in order for people to hear about Jesus. 46:50 From that experience, Danny, I learned something. 46:52 When we were going to go on to this VAST platform, 46:55 which is a government platform where all the channels 46:58 that you get in Australia are now visible via satellite. 47:02 So at that time, when I went to discuss 47:06 with the Optus company about going on there, 47:11 the first thing the manager or the salesman said to me, 47:14 "Do you know how much it costs? 47:16 He said, "Do you know how much it costs to see?" 47:17 I've got an idea, you know, we're on Optus D2, 47:20 this is C1 now 47:21 which is the Commercial 1 satellite. 47:23 And he said, "It's a lot of money, 47:25 and we get lots of people calling in want to go on there. 47:29 But when I tell them the price, we don't hear from them again." 47:33 And, you know, I'd prayed about this, 47:35 and this was a direct answer to prayer. 47:37 And when you know it's a direct answer to prayer, 47:40 I didn't have to go and have a committee meeting. 47:42 All right That's right. 47:43 There you go. It was God who was there. 47:45 Didn't have to worry about the price, it was... 47:48 And God worked it out in such a miraculous way, 47:51 it'd take me half an hour to go through it, 47:53 but it's really interesting, it is really interesting 47:56 what God did in getting us onto that platform 48:00 which is being such a blessing all around Australia. 48:03 Yeah, and, of course, 48:05 the needs continue, as they do here. 48:08 And so I want to just say that anybody 48:11 who is watching 3ABN 48:13 and being blessed by these programs, 48:14 no matter where you're watching, 48:15 even on the internet, let alone on satellite, 48:17 somewhere really listen to God 48:21 because I'm sure that He's telling many of you, 48:23 "Please support this ministry 48:24 because it's so important in these last days." 48:27 Whether it's in the U.S. 48:29 that services so much of the world, 48:31 Russia and other places as well or in Australia 48:34 where we are reaching out to people 48:35 around the world with the same, 48:37 do send in your donations because they are needed 48:42 to get this message finished. 48:44 Well, again, I just want to thank both of you 48:47 for what you do for the cause of God, 48:50 and I'm always amazed when I hear their stories. 48:53 Yes. They're very similar to ours. 48:56 And what it says to me, Jesus says, 48:58 "Go ye into all the world." 49:00 So when you say, "Okay, I'm a ye. 49:03 Lord, use me", He does. That's right. 49:06 And He will provide every need, 49:09 that's what Philippians tells us, 49:11 "I can do all things through Christ 49:13 which strengthens me because," 49:16 skip one down 13, into 19, 49:18 "my God shall supply all of your need 49:21 according to His riches and glory." 49:22 With 3ABN, we don't have money in the bank 49:26 that's just sitting there to do nothing, 49:28 but after 33 almost, going on 34 years this fall, 49:32 I can look at the folks and say, 49:33 "Everything we have now is paid for." 49:35 It's not always been that way, but God has been faithful. 49:39 And when we're faithful, He supplies every need. 49:43 We look back to John and Rosemary, and we have no... 49:46 How in the world did this happen 49:47 and millions of millions of dollars 49:50 through all of these years that it's taken, 49:53 new doors every time, new communication highways 49:57 come up, we have to get on. 49:58 Yes. That's right. 50:00 We have to quit doing what we did or at least, 50:02 focus on other things now, all of this social media, 50:06 all of these... 50:07 The new, you know, the phones, the apps, 50:08 the fast technologies. 50:10 And even going from analog to digital. 50:12 Absolutely, all of it. 50:13 Type less, the cost to do that. 50:15 You have to do it. 50:16 You know, Danny, when we started 50:17 to build the production center, 50:19 we didn't have enough money, well, I thought. 50:20 Yeah. 50:22 And I thought, well, I'll stage it, you know, 50:23 here can be building stages. 50:25 Right. 50:26 Well, you know what, I still sit here today, 50:28 and we watched as I was drawing down on the money that we had, 50:31 we're not going to finish this. 50:33 It stayed the same. It stayed the same. 50:34 And, you know, we didn't borrow one cent, 50:37 we didn't ask anyone for one dollar, 50:39 we asked the Lord, and He provided it all, 50:40 and we have a completed production center in Australia. 50:43 Now you could just put a period on that. 50:45 There you go. 50:46 Right? That's right. 50:48 God said do it and you did it, you didn't have to go beg, 50:50 you didn't have to do it, God did it. 50:52 You did what He asked you to do, 50:54 but He works through His people as you just said. 50:57 So those of as the Holy Spirit's impressing, 50:59 we're going to put up the address here 51:00 in just a moment that you want to support 51:02 3ABN Australia, 3ABN U.S., whatever, 51:06 we're one big family, and it happens... 51:08 But we encourage you to support 3ABN Australia, 51:11 especially those of you Down Under, 51:13 in that area of the world 51:14 because what they're doing is reaching people 51:17 that there is really no other way to do it. 51:19 Because when... See, I'm... 51:22 Thus Danny, but when Revelation 18 and, you know, 51:26 and the earth was lightened with the glory of God, 51:29 I see the three angels as there's, 51:31 an angel's just a messenger, 51:33 so I see the angels as messengers. 51:36 So I think John Revelator looked up 51:38 and saw these satellites in space, 51:40 saw it going down into homes of people through televisions 51:43 and other ways and he fainted. 51:45 He says that's... 51:47 I mean, you couldn't, you know, they probably didn't have, 51:51 you know, megaphones at best 51:53 back then if they even had those, 51:55 and yet, he said and these angels literally 51:58 and the earth was lightened with the glory of God. 52:01 And there's only one way to do that, 52:03 today, we're doing it, thanks to you. 52:04 That's right. 52:06 The earth was lightened with the glory of God, 52:07 using technology to bring it down 52:09 into homes of millions, yet, hundreds of millions 52:12 of people around the world. 52:14 When John and I were leaving the mission field, we said, 52:16 "Lord, we don't want to go back to secular employment. 52:19 We want to work for You 24/7 as we did before." 52:22 We just didn't realize the extent of our prayer 52:26 that He would pull us into 24/7 television and radio, 52:30 which would almost consume 24/7. 52:32 What I want to do is we're going to put up their address. 52:35 And so you pray and ask the Lord 52:37 what He would have you to do, 52:39 then we're going to go to news break 52:40 and come back for a following thought. 52:44 If you would like to find out more about 52:46 3ABN Australia's ministry, 52:49 please visit their website, 3ABNAustralia.org.au. 52:55 There you will find news and information as well as 52:57 on-demand videos of their latest episodes. 53:01 Your prayers and financial support make it possible 53:03 for them to produce new programs 53:05 and broadcast on satellite, bringing viewers and listeners 53:09 to a full knowledge of Jesus Christ. 53:12 You may call them at (02) 4973-3456. 53:18 Or write to 3ABN Australia, 53:21 P.O.
