I want to spend my life
00:00:12.81\00:00:18.95

00:00:18.98\00:00:24.12
Lord, let my words
00:00:24.19\00:00:30.33
Heal a heart that hurts
00:00:30.36\00:00:34.86
I want to spend my life

Hello, and welcome to
another 3ABN Today program.
00:01:09.63\00:01:12.80
I'm Jason Bradley,
00:01:12.83\00:01:14.17
and I'm excited about
00:01:14.24\00:01:15.57
what we're going
to be talking about.
00:01:15.60\00:01:17.01
We're going to
give you an update
00:01:17.04\00:01:18.64
on what's going on at
3ABN Trinidad and Tobago.
00:01:18.67\00:01:24.15
And I want to
introduce you to someone
00:01:24.18\00:01:26.08
who has been a volunteer
with 3ABN Trinidad and Tobago,
00:01:26.11\00:01:31.22
and his name is Rodney Reynold.
00:01:31.25\00:01:33.46
Welcome to the program, Rodney.
00:01:33.49\00:01:34.96
Thank you very much, Jason.
00:01:34.99\00:01:36.32
It's great to have you here.
00:01:36.36\00:01:38.03
I see you at all these events.
00:01:38.06\00:01:39.93
I see you at
ASI, I see you at GC.
00:01:40.00\00:01:43.23
I see you just at so
many different events.
00:01:43.26\00:01:46.97
But this is your first time
00:01:47.04\00:01:49.07
at 3ABN's headquarters, correct?
00:01:49.10\00:01:50.71
Yes, it is. It is.
00:01:50.74\00:01:52.07
Wow. Wow.
00:01:52.11\00:01:53.48
Yeah, I'm glad you
could make it out here.
00:01:53.51\00:01:56.34
How long have you
been a volunteer with?
00:01:56.38\00:01:58.31
I've been a volunteer for 3ABN
00:01:58.35\00:02:00.35
in Trinidad and
Tobago for 14 years.
00:02:00.42\00:02:02.58
Fourteen years? Yes, 14 years.
00:02:02.62\00:02:04.32
Wow, 14 years.
00:02:04.35\00:02:07.39
And you are gifted in
the area of marketing,
00:02:07.46\00:02:12.06
and establishing
connections and networking
00:02:12.09\00:02:14.90
and all of that
stuff, I've noticed that.
00:02:14.93\00:02:16.67
Yes, yes. I
definitely notice that.
00:02:16.70\00:02:18.67
We're going to dive
into your background
00:02:18.70\00:02:21.37
and all that stuff
00:02:21.40\00:02:22.74
because we want to
find out who you are.
00:02:22.77\00:02:24.94
We want our viewing audience
to find out who you are.
00:02:24.97\00:02:30.65
Who's the volunteer
that's in Trinidad and Tobago,
00:02:30.68\00:02:33.82
but before we do,
00:02:33.85\00:02:35.38
we're going to go
ahead and go to a song.
00:02:35.42\00:02:37.95
We're going to be
blessed in song by Pam Lister,
00:02:37.99\00:02:40.56
and the song is
entitled "Written in Red."
00:02:40.59\00:02:43.96
In letters of crimson
00:02:56.20\00:03:01.11
God wrote His love
00:03:01.14\00:03:05.21
On a hillside so long
00:03:05.25\00:03:09.75
Long ago
00:03:09.78\00:03:14.06
For you and for me
00:03:14.09\00:03:18.89
Jesus died
00:03:18.93\00:03:23.47
And love's greatest story
00:03:23.50\00:03:28.27
Was told
00:03:28.30\00:03:34.98
I love you
00:03:35.01\00:03:44.59
That's what
00:03:44.62\00:03:46.99
Calvary said
00:03:47.06\00:03:53.70
I love you
00:03:53.73\00:04:08.58
Written in red
00:04:08.61\00:04:14.02
Down through the ages
00:04:22.42\00:04:27.03
God wrote His love
00:04:27.10\00:04:31.23
With the same hands
00:04:31.27\00:04:33.57
That suffered and bled
00:04:33.64\00:04:40.68
Giving all
00:04:40.71\00:04:45.15
That He had to give
00:04:45.18\00:04:49.72
A message so easily read
00:04:49.75\00:04:55.52
I love you
00:04:58.86\00:05:08.40
That's what
00:05:08.44\00:05:10.91
Calvary said
00:05:10.94\00:05:17.45
I love you
00:05:17.48\00:05:34.73
Oh, precious
00:05:34.76\00:05:38.57
Is the flow
00:05:38.60\00:05:43.44
That makes me
00:05:43.51\00:05:47.48
White as snow
00:05:47.51\00:05:53.55
No other fount
00:05:53.62\00:05:58.35
I know
00:05:58.39\00:06:01.99
Nothing but the blood
00:06:02.02\00:06:05.13
The blood of Jesus
00:06:05.16\00:06:10.37
I love you
00:06:10.40\00:06:19.97
That's what
00:06:20.01\00:06:21.91
Calvary said
00:06:21.94\00:06:28.38
I love you
00:06:28.42\00:06:43.37
Written in red
00:06:43.40\00:06:51.27
Wow, what a beautiful song.
00:07:10.93\00:07:13.13
We're here talking to
Brother Rodney Reynold.
00:07:13.16\00:07:17.63
And, Rodney,
00:07:17.67\00:07:19.00
you have been
volunteering for 14 years
00:07:19.03\00:07:22.20
as you said before
we went into the song.
00:07:22.24\00:07:25.84
You know, I
really love the scripture
00:07:25.87\00:07:28.08
that's found in 1
Corinthians Chapter 12.
00:07:28.11\00:07:31.98
Really just that whole chapter
00:07:32.01\00:07:33.35
where it's talking
about spiritual gifts,
00:07:33.42\00:07:35.45
unity and diversity,
00:07:35.48\00:07:37.09
and then also unity
and diversity in one body.
00:07:37.12\00:07:42.19
It's interesting
because it's kind of like
00:07:42.22\00:07:45.26
talking about the coexistence
00:07:45.29\00:07:47.76
of the different
parts of the body.
00:07:47.80\00:07:51.10
But they all
come, they all make up,
00:07:51.13\00:07:53.64
you know, the body and
all the different parts
00:07:53.67\00:07:55.87
are needed for
different functions.
00:07:55.90\00:07:57.74
And in ministry
00:07:57.77\00:07:59.84
we need members to be mobilized,
00:07:59.87\00:08:04.45
to be doing
things around the world
00:08:04.48\00:08:06.65
because the gospel is to
go into the entire world.
00:08:06.72\00:08:11.19
And you're out there
00:08:11.22\00:08:12.55
at 3ABN Trinidad and
Tobago volunteering your time.
00:08:12.59\00:08:17.76
And you've done
quite a few things and,
00:08:17.79\00:08:21.36
you know, by the grace
of God and to prove it,
00:08:21.40\00:08:24.33
I've got a long
list of notes here
00:08:24.37\00:08:26.40
of different events
and all kinds of stuff
00:08:26.43\00:08:29.30
that we're going to talk about,
00:08:29.34\00:08:30.81
and I'm excited about that.
00:08:30.84\00:08:32.27
But let's get
into your background.
00:08:32.31\00:08:35.14
Who is Rodney?
00:08:35.18\00:08:36.64
How did you grow up?
00:08:36.68\00:08:38.75
And were you
always in the church?
00:08:38.78\00:08:40.98
Yeah, I grew up in east
of Trinidad in Manzanilla,
00:08:41.02\00:08:44.92
that's the eastern side
00:08:44.95\00:08:47.19
and lived there
for a short time,
00:08:47.26\00:08:50.43
then moved on to
the city Port of Spain,
00:08:50.46\00:08:53.63
and lived there
for most of my life.
00:08:53.70\00:08:56.13
Okay. And what city was that?
00:08:56.16\00:08:58.03
Port of Spain. Okay, okay.
00:08:58.07\00:08:59.47
Yes, so on a little
island of at least 1.5 million.
00:08:59.50\00:09:05.31
That's the capital
00:09:05.34\00:09:07.31
and it's much
more populated as well.
00:09:07.38\00:09:10.25
Okay. Yeah, yeah.
00:09:10.28\00:09:11.61
Wow, little island
of 1.5 million people?
00:09:11.65\00:09:14.52
Yes, yes.
00:09:14.55\00:09:15.88
That sounds like
a nice size island.
00:09:15.92\00:09:17.29
Yes, it is. It is.
00:09:17.32\00:09:19.45
Okay.
00:09:19.49\00:09:20.86
And were you
always in the church?
00:09:20.89\00:09:22.79
Most of my life I
was in the church.
00:09:22.82\00:09:24.79
I was brought up in the church.
00:09:24.83\00:09:26.16
My parents brought
us up in the church
00:09:26.19\00:09:29.10
before they got married.
00:09:29.13\00:09:31.20
They were Hindus, and
they went to a crusade.
00:09:31.23\00:09:35.64
And someone invited them
00:09:35.67\00:09:37.14
and they found out
more about the Bible
00:09:37.21\00:09:42.58
and more about love,
00:09:42.61\00:09:43.98
and they accepted the
message of salvation, Jesus,
00:09:44.05\00:09:47.02
and they became members
of the Adventist Church,
00:09:47.05\00:09:50.62
and they brought
us up Christian life,
00:09:50.69\00:09:55.59
vegetarian as well,
00:09:55.62\00:09:57.33
and a whole beautiful lifestyle.
00:09:57.36\00:09:59.66
Okay. Yeah.
00:09:59.69\00:10:01.03
Okay.
00:10:01.06\00:10:02.40
So that was a complete
shift for them because Hindus,
00:10:02.43\00:10:06.53
don't they have a polytheistic
like in terms of like,
00:10:06.57\00:10:11.67
don't they worship multiple...
00:10:11.71\00:10:13.38
Yes, they do.
00:10:13.41\00:10:14.74
Gods, so they went from
that to accepting Christ
00:10:14.78\00:10:17.58
as their
personal Lord and Savior.
00:10:17.65\00:10:18.98
Yes, God really called in
00:10:19.01\00:10:20.98
just before they
got married, actually,
00:10:21.02\00:10:23.02
and they called them
and they accepted the Lord.
00:10:23.05\00:10:26.35
And from that time
when they got baptized,
00:10:26.39\00:10:30.33
they just were on
fire for the Lord.
00:10:30.36\00:10:33.60
Did a lot of missionary work
00:10:33.63\00:10:35.90
for community
events almost every month.
00:10:35.93\00:10:40.07
They cook about 500
meals for the homeless.
00:10:40.14\00:10:43.81
And from the East Coast,
00:10:43.84\00:10:45.17
they would
drive down on a Sunday
00:10:45.21\00:10:47.71
and give out food and drinks.
00:10:47.74\00:10:49.68
And this would be at
our expense, yeah, as well.
00:10:49.71\00:10:53.11
Wow.
00:10:53.15\00:10:54.48
So you've been doing all kinds
00:10:54.52\00:10:56.35
of ministry
oriented volunteer work
00:10:56.38\00:10:59.52
for a long, long
time, longer than 14 years.
00:10:59.55\00:11:02.69
Yes, yes.
00:11:02.72\00:11:04.06
Yeah, I had my parents to thank
00:11:04.13\00:11:05.46
for how they have brought us up.
00:11:05.49\00:11:09.26
They have showed,
00:11:09.30\00:11:11.37
showed us the love
of God by helping others
00:11:11.40\00:11:14.37
and by their lifestyle
and a whole lot of things.
00:11:14.40\00:11:19.54
And who I am today
00:11:19.57\00:11:21.38
is because of how
they brought us up
00:11:21.41\00:11:23.18
when we were small.
00:11:23.21\00:11:24.55
Yes, yes.
00:11:24.58\00:11:26.48
So when did you
fall in love with Christ?
00:11:26.51\00:11:31.52
That's, that
journey in my life...
00:11:31.55\00:11:35.99
Before I go there,
my parents wanted me to,
00:11:36.02\00:11:40.80
well, wanted us
as their children
00:11:40.83\00:11:44.40
to grow up in the church.
00:11:44.43\00:11:47.14
The do's and the don'ts
used to get to me a lot.
00:11:47.17\00:11:49.64
Okay. A lot.
00:11:49.67\00:11:51.44
So on most Sabbath afternoons,
as soon as Sabbath is over,
00:11:51.47\00:11:56.51
I will run around the
church fast over and over,
00:11:56.54\00:12:00.95
because Sabbath was over.
00:12:00.98\00:12:02.62
So while church was over?
00:12:02.65\00:12:04.69
When Sabbath is over.
00:12:04.72\00:12:06.05
Oh, so that
night, okay. Yeah, yeah.
00:12:06.09\00:12:07.99
So that's in the
afternoon, on Sabbath afternoon.
00:12:08.02\00:12:10.56
And then our
parents used to get upset
00:12:10.63\00:12:12.23
because of that,
because I'm so happy
00:12:12.26\00:12:13.60
that the Sabbath is over.
00:12:13.63\00:12:15.20
Back then it was a
burden for me as a child.
00:12:15.23\00:12:19.10
And parents will teach you
00:12:19.13\00:12:20.54
the do's and
don'ts of God's Word.
00:12:20.57\00:12:26.04
And at that time in my
life, I wasn't in love with God.
00:12:26.07\00:12:30.45
When I was 17,
around there, God showed me.
00:12:30.48\00:12:35.12
I got a little book
called Alone With God.
00:12:35.15\00:12:37.92
And God impressed me to
continue reading that book.
00:12:37.95\00:12:42.36
And He showed me
how much He loved me.
00:12:42.39\00:12:44.86
And then that's how I
got to fall in love with God
00:12:44.89\00:12:47.30
and get to do
what He wants us to do,
00:12:47.33\00:12:51.43
what He wants me to do as well.
00:12:51.47\00:12:54.04
And that's how I get to know
00:12:54.07\00:12:55.67
the love and the joy
of being in God's presence
00:12:55.70\00:12:58.31
and doing what He,
His will in my life, yes.
00:12:58.34\00:13:02.51
Now, I remember talking
to you prior to this program,
00:13:02.54\00:13:05.15
and you were telling me
about that book, that you read,
00:13:05.18\00:13:08.78
and you shared a
story in that book
00:13:08.82\00:13:11.29
and you gave some examples...
00:13:11.32\00:13:14.42
Yes. Or an example.
00:13:14.46\00:13:16.73
And I thought it was
a really good example.
00:13:16.76\00:13:19.36
Why don't you share
what you shared with me?
00:13:19.39\00:13:23.23
Being in love with God,
00:13:23.26\00:13:25.07
it's a
marriage, like a marriage.
00:13:25.10\00:13:27.97
Husband and wife
married together,
00:13:28.00\00:13:31.84
and the man make
a list for his wife
00:13:31.87\00:13:35.84
almost every day to do this.
00:13:35.88\00:13:37.95
And she keeps doing this
over and over week by week,
00:13:37.98\00:13:43.08
and it became a burden for her
00:13:43.12\00:13:45.45
just doing the list,
of things on the list.
00:13:45.49\00:13:48.49
So the man in the book
made a list for his wife.
00:13:48.52\00:13:50.86
Yes.
00:13:50.93\00:13:52.26
And the list that
he made for his wife
00:13:52.29\00:13:55.16
was a burden to her.
00:13:55.20\00:13:56.87
Yes. Yeah.
00:13:56.90\00:13:58.23
Because it was something
00:13:58.27\00:13:59.60
she was supposed
to do over and over.
00:13:59.63\00:14:00.97
Yes. Okay.
00:14:01.00\00:14:02.34
And...
00:14:02.37\00:14:04.31
So she kept on doing this.
00:14:04.34\00:14:05.67
And it became
such a burden for her
00:14:05.71\00:14:07.48
and a challenge to do so often.
00:14:07.51\00:14:09.94
And apart from that factor,
00:14:09.98\00:14:12.75
other factors,
they got separated.
00:14:12.78\00:14:16.89
So when she got
married, years down the road,
00:14:16.92\00:14:21.19
she went up into the Arctic,
00:14:21.22\00:14:22.56
and she came
across the list of things
00:14:22.59\00:14:25.73
that her first husband gave her.
00:14:25.76\00:14:28.40
And she got very angry and said,
00:14:28.43\00:14:32.97
"Look at how her
husband used to treat her
00:14:33.00\00:14:35.60
and give it us to
do lists and such."
00:14:35.64\00:14:38.07
And then she keep reading lists,
00:14:38.11\00:14:41.31
one by one, and she
realize, but I do this,
00:14:41.34\00:14:45.15
I do this and I do all of this.
00:14:45.18\00:14:47.45
And then she got to realize that
00:14:47.52\00:14:49.25
because she loves her husband,
00:14:49.28\00:14:52.02
and it's because of love
she gets do these things.
00:14:52.05\00:14:54.69
That's how when
you're in love with God,
00:14:54.72\00:14:57.03
or you enjoy
being in His presence,
00:14:57.06\00:14:59.66
you enjoy doing His
will and working for Him.
00:14:59.69\00:15:02.43
Yes, yes.
00:15:02.46\00:15:04.20
So she was motivated by love.
00:15:04.27\00:15:06.43
And so that list
that seemed like it was,
00:15:06.47\00:15:09.17
it was burdensome.
00:15:09.20\00:15:10.91
It wasn't even
burdensome at all.
00:15:10.94\00:15:13.88
And she was automatically,
she was doing it out of love.
00:15:13.91\00:15:17.88
Yes.
00:15:17.91\00:15:19.25
I'm sure she
could have done more
00:15:19.28\00:15:20.62
because she's in love with him.
00:15:20.65\00:15:22.28
Yes, yes.
00:15:22.32\00:15:24.09
And that's, you know,
00:15:24.12\00:15:25.45
for a lot of us that's
like the Ten Commandments...
00:15:25.49\00:15:28.09
Absolutely. You
know, and the Word of God.
00:15:28.12\00:15:31.19
There's so many people
that view it as a burden,
00:15:31.23\00:15:34.20
things that they can't do,
00:15:34.23\00:15:35.56
they think that it's restrictive
00:15:35.60\00:15:37.60
but really, it's all about love,
00:15:37.63\00:15:39.73
like God is love.
00:15:39.77\00:15:41.70
And when we love Him,
00:15:41.74\00:15:44.84
we have, we don't,
we want to keep though,
00:15:44.87\00:15:47.51
we don't want to hurt God.
00:15:47.58\00:15:49.21
We want to please God.
00:15:49.24\00:15:50.75
Absolutely. Yes, yes.
00:15:50.78\00:15:52.11
Absolutely.
00:15:52.15\00:15:53.48
So tell us, tell me
more about your background?
00:15:53.52\00:15:56.45
Well, I served in a
prison ministries department
00:15:56.48\00:15:59.89
in the city
church for over 10 years.
00:15:59.92\00:16:01.89
Okay.
00:16:01.92\00:16:03.26
And during that time
00:16:03.29\00:16:04.89
and we encounter
a lot of challenges
00:16:04.93\00:16:08.06
in reaching people.
00:16:08.10\00:16:09.73
And sometime after
that, Danny came down,
00:16:09.76\00:16:13.74
Danny Shelton
came down to Trinidad
00:16:13.77\00:16:16.00
and at a convention
00:16:16.04\00:16:17.61
and that's where
I heard him speak,
00:16:17.64\00:16:19.74
and I caught the vision.
00:16:19.77\00:16:22.11
I met him there
and I spoke with him.
00:16:22.14\00:16:23.98
I tried then for him to speak
00:16:24.05\00:16:26.85
with the current
cable company in the island.
00:16:26.92\00:16:30.59
We were analog
then, not digital.
00:16:30.62\00:16:32.45
Okay.
00:16:32.49\00:16:33.86
So that was just
one cable provider.
00:16:33.89\00:16:36.09
And now we have
over seven cables.
00:16:36.12\00:16:40.33
And a lot of the challenges
that we've had in the island
00:16:40.40\00:16:44.47
is where people
were not interested
00:16:44.50\00:16:48.24
in hearing about God's Word,
00:16:48.27\00:16:49.60
not interested in
hearing what you have to say
00:16:49.64\00:16:52.41
when you go to speak with them.
00:16:52.44\00:16:54.54
And then when I
heard Danny spoke,
00:16:54.58\00:16:57.75
and I got his message,
00:16:57.78\00:16:59.11
and I caught that vision,
00:16:59.15\00:17:01.45
what he wants to
do it all in line
00:17:01.48\00:17:03.59
with what
challenges that we face there.
00:17:03.62\00:17:05.69
It was really
amazing to know that
00:17:05.72\00:17:08.82
3ABN is already in your house,
it's already in your home.
00:17:08.86\00:17:12.16
All we have to do is find a way
00:17:12.19\00:17:15.93
to direct you to the channel,
00:17:15.96\00:17:18.37
which is simply by
putting the flyer in mailbox.
00:17:18.40\00:17:21.47
And letting you know that
00:17:21.50\00:17:22.84
here's where you can watch
00:17:22.87\00:17:24.21
3ABN lifestyle
television station.
00:17:24.24\00:17:25.67
So by putting a
flyer in the mailbox,
00:17:25.71\00:17:27.68
you let them know.
00:17:27.71\00:17:29.04
You let them know, yeah.
00:17:29.08\00:17:30.45
You will have to
interact with them
00:17:30.48\00:17:31.91
and those who don't
want to interact with you,
00:17:31.95\00:17:33.62
but those who are
willing to have a conversation.
00:17:33.65\00:17:36.05
You let them know the
benefits of watching 3ABN 24/7
00:17:36.08\00:17:40.56
first class lifestyle programs.
00:17:40.59\00:17:42.39
Yes.
00:17:42.42\00:17:43.76
And when 3ABN came on board,
00:17:43.83\00:17:47.76
I resigned all my posts,
00:17:47.80\00:17:49.43
kept one post, 3ABN,
00:17:49.46\00:17:52.10
and it's been so for 14 years,
00:17:52.13\00:17:55.17
and it has been a
sweet beautiful journey
00:17:55.20\00:17:58.94
and a great joy
00:17:58.97\00:18:00.31
in making things
happen in my island.
00:18:00.38\00:18:03.24
And it only happens by God.
00:18:03.28\00:18:06.15
Amen.
00:18:06.18\00:18:07.52
Only by Him, He
guides me, direct me,
00:18:07.55\00:18:10.12
connect me in ways
00:18:10.19\00:18:11.72
that only when I
check back, that was God.
00:18:11.75\00:18:14.42
Yes.
00:18:14.46\00:18:15.79
That was God, you know.
00:18:15.82\00:18:17.16
And it is just so
amazing how He put things again.
00:18:17.23\00:18:19.63
I just had to
say thank You, Lord.
00:18:19.66\00:18:22.16
Yes.
00:18:22.20\00:18:23.57
We need more.
00:18:23.60\00:18:24.93
Uh-huh.
00:18:24.97\00:18:26.30
So he has done tremendous things
00:18:26.33\00:18:27.84
in our island and
some of the projects
00:18:27.87\00:18:30.61
that we discussed are listed,
00:18:30.64\00:18:33.71
that's just some of what we do.
00:18:33.78\00:18:35.31
There are many other things
00:18:35.34\00:18:36.68
that we do to
try to reach people
00:18:36.75\00:18:40.82
with 3ABN,
00:18:40.85\00:18:42.52
and let them know what we can do
00:18:42.55\00:18:44.75
to help their life as well.
00:18:44.79\00:18:47.56
So let's talk about
some of those projects
00:18:47.59\00:18:49.39
because in 14
years of doing this,
00:18:49.42\00:18:51.96
I know that you have
00:18:51.99\00:18:53.33
some powerful
testimonies and stories
00:18:53.40\00:18:55.73
and different events that,
that you've been a part of.
00:18:55.76\00:18:59.80
Let's talk about some of those.
00:18:59.83\00:19:01.64
Yes.
00:19:01.67\00:19:03.51
The projects that we do
helps build our relationship
00:19:03.54\00:19:08.04
with the people in the community
00:19:08.08\00:19:11.01
at ground level at one on one,
00:19:11.05\00:19:14.32
and it builds
network, it builds bridges,
00:19:14.35\00:19:18.52
it builds relationship.
00:19:18.55\00:19:20.26
And it gets you to understand
00:19:20.29\00:19:22.56
that this is what
3ABN as the Island
00:19:22.59\00:19:24.69
and this is what we offer.
00:19:24.73\00:19:26.70
And they are so amazed
00:19:26.73\00:19:29.20
to know that the quality
00:19:29.23\00:19:32.30
that programs that 3ABN offer,
00:19:32.33\00:19:34.70
there they just say wow.
00:19:34.74\00:19:37.01
Some of them has
come to me and said,
00:19:37.04\00:19:38.71
"I did not know you exist."
00:19:38.74\00:19:41.11
And I get that
sometimes a lot, I used to,
00:19:41.14\00:19:43.95
but now in my island
00:19:43.98\00:19:45.58
there's a larger
portion of people you know
00:19:45.61\00:19:47.22
because we try
our best to be present
00:19:47.25\00:19:49.75
in community events,
00:19:49.78\00:19:51.45
so that people
could know what we are.
00:19:51.49\00:19:54.72
If is we had a community
event for the entire day
00:19:54.76\00:19:56.96
and at least one
person get to know of 3ABN,
00:19:57.03\00:20:01.46
that's enough for me.
00:20:01.50\00:20:02.90
That's enough for me,
because I know that one person,
00:20:02.93\00:20:05.47
once they get to
fall in love with God
00:20:05.50\00:20:08.17
by watching 3ABN,
00:20:08.20\00:20:10.54
it will grow from there
and they will pass it on.
00:20:10.61\00:20:13.68
And that's enough
because that is cast in stone.
00:20:13.71\00:20:17.08
Uh-huh.
00:20:17.15\00:20:18.91
So one of the
projects that we did
00:20:18.95\00:20:22.12
was a huge project
00:20:22.15\00:20:23.59
with Spiritual Vigilantes books.
00:20:23.62\00:20:26.55
In 2017, we did,
00:20:26.59\00:20:30.13
we requested 50,000
Spiritual Vigilantes books.
00:20:30.16\00:20:34.96
Fifteen thousand Spiritual...
00:20:35.00\00:20:36.97
Oh, wow, look at all those boxes
00:20:37.00\00:20:39.37
that are behind you guys.
00:20:39.40\00:20:41.44
That's most of the boxes
there as 50,000 boxes there.
00:20:41.47\00:20:46.47
Volunteers came together,
00:20:46.51\00:20:47.84
that's some of the
volunteers actually,
00:20:47.88\00:20:49.78
from downstairs to
upstairs who carried it.
00:20:49.81\00:20:52.81
And then in the
community, we mobilized,
00:20:52.85\00:20:55.55
we put the books
into plastic bags,
00:20:55.58\00:20:58.89
and put our flyers and stamp it.
00:20:58.92\00:21:01.16
And we went into
the places in our island
00:21:01.19\00:21:03.53
that is not
reached and we cover that.
00:21:03.56\00:21:07.50
And there's more
of the volunteers,
00:21:07.53\00:21:10.07
the gentleman there
is Pastor Ishaan Arjun,
00:21:10.10\00:21:13.20
he mobilized
most of the volunteers
00:21:13.23\00:21:16.34
to come to the project,
00:21:16.37\00:21:19.21
and did a fantastic job
00:21:19.24\00:21:20.78
in the whole western
side of Port of Spain,
00:21:20.81\00:21:23.85
that those areas we go
to, they were untouched.
00:21:23.88\00:21:27.92
Wow. Yes.
00:21:27.95\00:21:29.45
Wow.
00:21:29.48\00:21:30.82
So a lot of
people then had access
00:21:30.89\00:21:34.66
to spiritual literature?
00:21:34.69\00:21:36.83
Yes. And that's beautiful.
00:21:36.86\00:21:38.19
And especially from 3ABN
and our flyers, they have,
00:21:38.23\00:21:42.03
also had a contact list
if you want to find out more,
00:21:42.06\00:21:45.67
if you want a
Bible study as well.
00:21:45.70\00:21:47.97
And there's
someone who is working
00:21:48.00\00:21:51.17
on a political level to get,
00:21:51.21\00:21:54.01
to give those people
there Bible studies as well.
00:21:54.08\00:21:56.41
Nice. Right.
00:21:56.44\00:21:57.78
And so from time to
time I'm on a full operator,
00:21:57.81\00:22:00.42
and she will let us
know how's the feedback
00:22:00.45\00:22:03.39
'cause she's
already in the area, yes.
00:22:03.42\00:22:06.22
Yeah, so yeah, just boots
on the ground at all time.
00:22:06.25\00:22:09.02
Yeah, she is, she is.
00:22:09.06\00:22:10.76
That's beautiful.
00:22:10.83\00:22:12.16
So 50,000 books.
00:22:12.19\00:22:14.93
What happened at Tobago ASI?
00:22:14.96\00:22:17.57
Right.
00:22:17.60\00:22:18.93
So the plan was to
have the 50,000 books,
00:22:18.97\00:22:23.07
Spiritual
Vigilantes books in Trinidad
00:22:23.10\00:22:25.24
and 20,000 will
be shipped to Tobago.
00:22:25.27\00:22:27.74
Okay. Right?
00:22:27.78\00:22:29.11
So when it came,
we send at Tobago.
00:22:29.14\00:22:31.88
And the legend
that we have in Tobago,
00:22:31.91\00:22:35.48
Brother Diamond
Andrews, he is a legend.
00:22:35.52\00:22:38.82
Uh-huh.
00:22:38.85\00:22:40.19
He makes things happen. Okay.
00:22:40.26\00:22:41.82
Doesn't talk much. Uh-huh.
00:22:41.86\00:22:43.43
Get things done. Okay.
00:22:43.46\00:22:45.13
Very, very quickly.
00:22:45.16\00:22:46.83
He did mobilize things,
anything happen and such
00:22:46.90\00:22:51.03
and you want to
have a project done,
00:22:51.07\00:22:53.23
they make it happen.
00:22:53.27\00:22:54.70
They really make it
happen at first there.
00:22:54.74\00:22:56.74
And he's a mover and a shaker.
00:22:56.81\00:22:58.44
Okay. Definitely is.
00:22:58.47\00:23:00.48
And 50,000 is what
we used in the island,
00:23:00.51\00:23:04.38
we use about 10,000
for the mailbox project.
00:23:04.41\00:23:07.52
And the rest we give
out to other churches
00:23:07.55\00:23:10.69
in the community
and they went out.
00:23:10.72\00:23:13.56
But we had so much need for it.
00:23:13.59\00:23:16.02
Even after the fact
that it is finished,
00:23:16.06\00:23:18.26
we got a lot of
requests for it and for more.
00:23:18.29\00:23:20.70
And people
wanted a lot more of it
00:23:20.73\00:23:22.53
in different
areas they didn't get
00:23:22.56\00:23:23.90
so we tried to
distribute evenly.
00:23:23.97\00:23:26.07
So some of the areas that
got, we had was to ask them,
00:23:26.10\00:23:30.41
say, can we use some of
your stuff for another area.
00:23:30.44\00:23:33.98
And it was such a joy to
know how people want to share.
00:23:34.01\00:23:37.88
Yeah.
00:23:37.91\00:23:39.25
It's a complete
Bible based book.
00:23:39.28\00:23:41.32
And it's well put together.
00:23:41.35\00:23:44.45
And it's really amazing to read.
00:23:44.49\00:23:48.29
You know, one of the
things that I love about this,
00:23:48.32\00:23:50.33
the book Spiritual Vigilantes
00:23:50.36\00:23:51.89
is that in a world
full of compromise,
00:23:51.93\00:23:55.13
this book points
you back to Bible truth.
00:23:55.16\00:23:58.60
Correct. Correct.
00:23:58.63\00:23:59.97
So stand it, it makes
you want to stand firm
00:24:00.04\00:24:04.77
on the Word of God,
00:24:04.81\00:24:06.14
which is what we
should be doing anyway,
00:24:06.17\00:24:08.01
standing firm on the principles
found in the Word of God.
00:24:08.04\00:24:10.68
Yes, absolutely.
00:24:10.75\00:24:12.48
So you're spreading
that, around the island
00:24:12.51\00:24:15.22
people are
finding out about Christ.
00:24:15.25\00:24:17.39
They're learning about 3ABN.
00:24:17.42\00:24:20.36
What other
projects have you done?
00:24:20.39\00:24:24.63
We have in our, you
know, trips around the island,
00:24:24.66\00:24:29.43
we met a few people.
00:24:29.46\00:24:32.03
One of them we've
met, her name is Michelle.
00:24:32.07\00:24:36.71
She has read the same book
00:24:36.74\00:24:41.21
Ten Commandments Twice Removed.
00:24:41.24\00:24:43.14
And it has shown her
from her previous faith,
00:24:43.18\00:24:48.22
how God's truth still stand.
00:24:48.25\00:24:52.62
And she has,
have a testimony here.
00:24:52.65\00:24:55.39
And...
00:24:55.42\00:24:56.93
Why don't you read that?
Yeah, read her testimony.
00:24:56.96\00:24:58.46
I'll read part of
what she has said.
00:24:58.49\00:25:02.83
It says,
addressed to Danny Shelton,
00:25:02.86\00:25:05.67
thank you for writing the book
Ten Commandments Twice Removed.
00:25:05.70\00:25:08.94
It was not always,
00:25:08.97\00:25:11.44
I was not always a
Seventh-day Adventist.
00:25:11.47\00:25:14.28
And she went to
school for 25 years.
00:25:14.31\00:25:19.08
Now at 25 years when I graduated
00:25:19.11\00:25:21.08
at Jesuit
University in New York.
00:25:21.12\00:25:25.35
That's where she went.
00:25:25.39\00:25:26.76
And in her spiritual
journey from her former faith,
00:25:26.79\00:25:31.49
she said, I knew I was
not being fed spiritually.
00:25:31.53\00:25:34.83
So I asked Jesus
if He was really God
00:25:34.86\00:25:39.00
and to show me His love.
00:25:39.03\00:25:40.94
And her friend.
00:25:40.97\00:25:45.67
She said what surprised her
00:25:45.71\00:25:47.84
when she said she was no longer
a member of the Sunday keeping.
00:25:47.88\00:25:52.51
And she is now became a member
00:25:52.55\00:25:54.68
of the
Seventh-day Adventist Church.
00:25:54.72\00:25:57.12
So and her friend
loaned her the book
00:25:57.19\00:26:00.96
Ten Commandments Twice Removed
00:26:00.99\00:26:03.43
by Danny Shelton
and Shelley Quinn.
00:26:03.46\00:26:05.46
And the book has
showed her logically.
00:26:05.49\00:26:09.93
She said had a book,
00:26:09.96\00:26:11.30
The Ten
Commandments Twice Removed
00:26:11.33\00:26:12.93
is simple and logical,
00:26:12.97\00:26:15.37
written with
many Bible references
00:26:15.40\00:26:18.61
that make it quite clear
00:26:18.64\00:26:20.78
that all the Ten Commandments
are to be kept today.
00:26:20.81\00:26:25.41
I read for the first
time the difference between
00:26:25.45\00:26:28.25
the burdensome ceremonial
law and the holy moral law.
00:26:28.28\00:26:32.32
The moral law written by
the finger of God on stone
00:26:32.35\00:26:36.93
is placed in the sanctuary
00:26:36.96\00:26:38.73
in the Most Holy
Place at the base,
00:26:38.76\00:26:42.43
the foundation of the mercy seat
00:26:42.46\00:26:44.17
where God dwell.
00:26:44.20\00:26:45.83
From Genesis to Revelation,
00:26:45.87\00:26:47.47
God speaks of his
hallowing the Sabbath.
00:26:47.54\00:26:50.81
And she said,
00:26:50.84\00:26:52.17
when she returned to Trinidad
00:26:52.21\00:26:53.98
in December 2016
00:26:54.01\00:26:58.08
she started to go
00:26:58.11\00:26:59.45
at the Woodbrook
Seventh-day Adventist Church,
00:26:59.48\00:27:02.35
and her first name is Michelle.
00:27:02.38\00:27:05.22
Wow. Wow.
00:27:05.25\00:27:07.19
So you know,
00:27:07.26\00:27:08.59
I think that really speaks
to the importance of literature
00:27:08.62\00:27:12.76
and even being a colporteur
00:27:12.79\00:27:15.83
or literary
evangelist as well, you know,
00:27:15.86\00:27:18.40
because people
read the written word,
00:27:18.43\00:27:21.90
and all of that.
00:27:21.94\00:27:23.27
And God utilizes that
to transform their lives.
00:27:23.30\00:27:27.01
Yes, absolutely. Absolutely.
00:27:27.08\00:27:28.78
We have a few more
other people as well.
00:27:28.81\00:27:32.15
Elizabeth, she made
a commitment to Lord
00:27:32.18\00:27:35.08
that when she
reach a certain amount
00:27:35.12\00:27:38.79
of sales in her career,
00:27:38.82\00:27:42.02
she would want to be baptized,
00:27:42.06\00:27:43.43
but when her mom
00:27:43.46\00:27:45.59
who was
searching for God as well
00:27:45.63\00:27:50.37
got introduced to 3ABN,
not for weeks or months,
00:27:50.40\00:27:55.60
but within the day,
within the hour, she said,
00:27:55.64\00:27:59.64
when she looked
at the presentation,
00:27:59.67\00:28:01.18
she said, "That was the truth."
00:28:01.21\00:28:03.95
She knew that was the truth
00:28:03.98\00:28:05.31
and it is completely Bible base.
00:28:05.35\00:28:09.25
So much influenced
her show it her way
00:28:09.28\00:28:13.19
that what is being aired on 3ABN
00:28:13.22\00:28:16.02
is completely and
totally Bible based.
00:28:16.06\00:28:18.83
Yes.
00:28:18.86\00:28:20.20
And so before she
reached her goal on in sales,
00:28:20.23\00:28:25.00
she asked me to
arrange a baptism,
00:28:25.03\00:28:28.20
and she got baptized.
00:28:28.24\00:28:29.90
We give her a
certificate of baptism,
00:28:29.94\00:28:31.74
and she got baptized.
00:28:31.77\00:28:34.08
Just, probably
it's about three months
00:28:34.11\00:28:35.91
after watching 3ABN.
00:28:35.94\00:28:37.28
Wow!
00:28:37.35\00:28:38.68
And her journey,
00:28:38.71\00:28:40.05
her journey is a
journey of where she's switch
00:28:40.08\00:28:44.89
from different
feat to another feat
00:28:44.92\00:28:47.06
to him doing this and to
doing all sorts of things.
00:28:47.09\00:28:50.73
And you could, you can,
00:28:50.76\00:28:52.89
when you sit with someone
on that had an experience
00:28:52.93\00:28:55.46
where they have been searching
00:28:55.50\00:28:56.87
and they've been searching
and they're still not finding.
00:28:56.90\00:28:59.03
And when they see the programs
00:28:59.07\00:29:01.70
and here are the programs
that we introduce them to.
00:29:01.74\00:29:04.54
And they actually spend time
in researching what messages
00:29:04.57\00:29:08.31
and to check their Bibles.
00:29:08.34\00:29:10.25
It is what is in the Bible.
00:29:10.28\00:29:11.91
They were so amazed.
They said this is true.
00:29:11.95\00:29:14.42
And the Holy
Spirit works through them.
00:29:14.45\00:29:16.89
It works through
them and works with them,
00:29:16.92\00:29:18.55
and they accept Christ.
00:29:18.59\00:29:21.16
And that has been such a joy.
00:29:21.19\00:29:23.26
We've had, we have a
gentleman this year as well.
00:29:23.29\00:29:27.76
He is a pioneer in his feat.
00:29:27.80\00:29:30.57
And what he...
00:29:30.60\00:29:32.97
We were at a
meeting in his area.
00:29:33.00\00:29:36.57
And one of the
persons there mentioned to me
00:29:36.60\00:29:39.51
that this gentleman
didn't know he's watching 3ABN
00:29:39.54\00:29:42.18
for probably
about two years now.
00:29:42.21\00:29:44.35
And he has stopped
going to his faith,
00:29:44.38\00:29:48.42
because he wasn't being fed.
00:29:48.45\00:29:50.92
And the Lord had
showed him and showed him
00:29:50.99\00:29:53.86
that what has been shown
00:29:53.89\00:29:55.42
and what has been aired on 3ABN,
00:29:55.46\00:29:57.43
it's completely Bible based.
00:29:57.46\00:29:58.96
And he did his homework and rest
00:29:58.99\00:30:01.23
and he stopped
attending their faith.
00:30:01.26\00:30:03.77
So he stays home and watch 3ABN,
00:30:03.80\00:30:08.07
but he has a
challenge at his home
00:30:08.10\00:30:10.31
because his wife
is of another faith.
00:30:10.34\00:30:13.58
So he asks us to pray for him.
00:30:13.61\00:30:16.11
But I told him, it's
about God's love, right?
00:30:16.14\00:30:20.22
And that's it's what, what,
what we present there in 3ABN
00:30:20.25\00:30:24.95
is about God's love for man.
00:30:24.99\00:30:27.46
And once you
fall in love with God,
00:30:27.49\00:30:31.06
and you realize,
00:30:31.09\00:30:32.43
and you spend time in His Word,
00:30:32.46\00:30:33.80
He will guide you by
step by step in journey,
00:30:33.83\00:30:36.60
because we have all
rich different journeys
00:30:36.67\00:30:39.87
in our lives,
00:30:39.90\00:30:41.24
but some of us
when we reach a journey,
00:30:41.27\00:30:43.61
we expect people
to be at that journey
00:30:43.64\00:30:46.71
when we want
them, when we meet them.
00:30:46.78\00:30:48.31
Yeah, we are all in
different places in our walk.
00:30:48.34\00:30:50.55
Yes. Yes, yes.
00:30:50.58\00:30:51.91
So it's a challenge
when you meet people,
00:30:51.95\00:30:55.58
and some people want to
do the Holy Spirit work.
00:30:55.62\00:30:58.72
I tell people we are
called to catch the fish
00:30:58.75\00:31:03.12
not to scale it.
00:31:03.16\00:31:04.76
So I hope they catch
that perception clear as well.
00:31:04.79\00:31:09.23
So we have Jennifer,
00:31:09.26\00:31:11.33
we have Jennifer watching
3ABN for at least two years.
00:31:11.37\00:31:16.20
I met her about two months ago.
00:31:16.24\00:31:19.31
This is her,
she of former faith.
00:31:19.34\00:31:23.11
And she approached me and said,
00:31:23.14\00:31:26.08
"I'm watching 3ABN
for the past two years
00:31:26.11\00:31:28.35
and I've recently got baptized."
00:31:28.38\00:31:31.55
And it's just, it's a joy
just to hear her testimony.
00:31:31.59\00:31:35.82
And she wants to
do more for the Lord.
00:31:35.86\00:31:37.56
She's retired, but she
wants to do a lot more.
00:31:37.63\00:31:40.73
And so we connect
her with ASI Trinidad.
00:31:40.80\00:31:44.17
And she's supporting
them whenever she can as well.
00:31:44.20\00:31:47.07
And of course, 3ABN as well.
00:31:47.14\00:31:48.67
Yes, yes.
00:31:48.70\00:31:50.24
And that's what
it's all about, isn't it?
00:31:50.31\00:31:51.84
You know, these programs
exist to point people to Christ.
00:31:51.87\00:31:55.24
Yes.
00:31:55.28\00:31:56.61
And also give them
practical tools for Christian,
00:31:56.64\00:31:59.31
you know, to
live Christian life.
00:31:59.35\00:32:02.25
Yes, absolutely.
00:32:02.28\00:32:03.62
So I love this testimony.
00:32:03.69\00:32:06.02
Then we have
Anthony, just this year.
00:32:06.05\00:32:09.39
God just made him
move mighty in his life,
00:32:09.42\00:32:13.29
where he had was to, he got,
00:32:13.33\00:32:15.73
he had notice to
leave where he was renting,
00:32:15.76\00:32:19.27
and God provide
him with the funds
00:32:19.30\00:32:23.51
to fit the next
rent for the new place.
00:32:23.54\00:32:28.04
And he just keep
giving me these testimonies,
00:32:28.08\00:32:30.55
and it was just so amazing.
00:32:30.58\00:32:32.28
And it just happened
00:32:32.31\00:32:33.65
and he just watching
Amazing Facts on 3ABN as well.
00:32:33.72\00:32:38.65
And God just revealed to him
00:32:38.69\00:32:41.26
that what we share
again our quality programs
00:32:41.29\00:32:44.66
are completely Bible based.
00:32:44.69\00:32:48.16
So talk to me about...
00:32:48.20\00:32:50.27
You also did
some things with food?
00:32:50.30\00:32:54.27
Yes, yes.
00:32:54.30\00:32:55.64
What was it like
a food pantry work?
00:32:55.67\00:32:58.24
What happened there?
00:32:58.27\00:32:59.64
Tell me a little bit about that?
00:32:59.67\00:33:01.01
Yes, if I may
before we go there.
00:33:01.04\00:33:05.61
What we have been doing,
00:33:05.65\00:33:07.75
when we are invited to
projects or events in my island,
00:33:07.78\00:33:13.12
we send prayer
requests to the pastoral team,
00:33:13.15\00:33:17.43
JD and his team,
00:33:17.46\00:33:20.50
and one of the most recent
00:33:20.53\00:33:25.93
prayer's reports
00:33:25.97\00:33:28.17
was that there was an event
00:33:28.20\00:33:30.91
last year in October,
00:33:30.94\00:33:34.28
and the year before it
rained for the entire event
00:33:34.31\00:33:39.38
which was on Sabbath.
00:33:39.41\00:33:41.22
So I sent a prayer
request to JD and his team,
00:33:41.25\00:33:44.89
asked them to please
pray that it does not rain
00:33:44.92\00:33:48.72
on that day for the event.
00:33:48.76\00:33:52.03
It rained most of the
week, up until Friday night.
00:33:52.06\00:33:56.43
And for the Sabbath,
00:33:56.46\00:33:58.63
it did not rain at all.
00:33:58.67\00:34:03.24
And every way around the
area got affected by rain
00:34:03.27\00:34:07.38
and it rained as
well, but not that location.
00:34:07.41\00:34:11.11
That was really
amazing to know that,
00:34:11.15\00:34:14.22
and we're grateful for JD
00:34:14.25\00:34:16.79
and his pastoral
team for their prayers
00:34:16.82\00:34:19.05
and the continued support.
00:34:19.09\00:34:20.56
Because again, it's God
who makes these things happen
00:34:20.59\00:34:26.43
for our events
00:34:26.46\00:34:27.83
and events that we
invited to as well.
00:34:27.86\00:34:30.47
Yeah.
00:34:30.50\00:34:31.83
So come into your,
00:34:31.87\00:34:33.20
come into the food
00:34:33.23\00:34:37.31
hamper distribution.
00:34:37.34\00:34:39.27
We from time to
time, we get sponsorship
00:34:39.31\00:34:44.05
from the Supermarket
Association and others.
00:34:44.08\00:34:47.55
And we connect with
the community services
00:34:47.62\00:34:53.39
of the Adventist
Church to reach out to people
00:34:53.46\00:34:56.02
and there are
other members as well
00:34:56.06\00:34:59.43
who need food supplies,
some of them are unemployed.
00:34:59.46\00:35:03.47
Some of them, they
can't make ends meet.
00:35:03.50\00:35:06.47
Some of them are single parents.
00:35:06.50\00:35:08.27
Sometimes their house
burned down and a lot.
00:35:08.30\00:35:11.87
So we, for the year so far,
00:35:11.91\00:35:16.64
we have distributed over
3000 grocery and bakery items
00:35:16.68\00:35:21.32
thus far for the year.
00:35:21.35\00:35:22.92
And that is only
based on sponsorship.
00:35:22.95\00:35:26.15
This is one of the trip
00:35:26.19\00:35:28.26
on a Sabbath
afternoon we went out.
00:35:28.29\00:35:30.96
And this is one
of the volunteers.
00:35:30.99\00:35:33.60
We did about
probably about 10 homes
00:35:33.63\00:35:37.17
that Sabbath afternoon.
00:35:37.20\00:35:39.00
And this is
another home that we did.
00:35:39.03\00:35:41.40
This is a club
00:35:41.44\00:35:43.20
in the St. James
Police Youth Club
00:35:43.24\00:35:46.47
is a bunch of young
people coming together
00:35:46.51\00:35:52.25
to come out of high risk areas.
00:35:52.28\00:35:54.58
So the St. James
Police Youth Club
00:35:54.62\00:35:57.72
introduced them to sports,
games, and a lot of activities
00:35:57.75\00:36:01.96
just direct their
energy to the right path.
00:36:01.99\00:36:05.76
So we lend them to support
00:36:05.79\00:36:07.60
of these grocery
items that they need
00:36:07.63\00:36:10.47
because they are an NGO as well.
00:36:10.50\00:36:13.17
And those are
some of the pictures
00:36:13.20\00:36:14.70
that we have distributed.
00:36:14.74\00:36:17.21
Some of these pictures
00:36:17.24\00:36:22.48
we don't show for some people
00:36:22.51\00:36:24.41
because we respect
their privacy as well.
00:36:24.45\00:36:27.68
And some of them,
00:36:27.72\00:36:29.05
they don't wish to take pictures
00:36:29.08\00:36:30.42
and that's fine.
00:36:30.49\00:36:31.82
But it's a great
joy when we meet them.
00:36:31.85\00:36:35.79
We give them any of our,
well, our flyer, 3ABN flyer,
00:36:35.82\00:36:40.30
and we give them
whatever books that we have
00:36:40.33\00:36:42.96
to let them know
about God's amazing love.
00:36:43.00\00:36:46.33
Amen.
00:36:46.37\00:36:47.70
You've also been to
the US Embassy out there.
00:36:47.74\00:36:51.94
Talk to us a little
bit about that, too?
00:36:51.97\00:36:53.81
Yes, the US Embassy.
00:36:53.88\00:36:56.21
We have network with
them early this year in April
00:36:56.24\00:37:00.35
where the
Caribbean Union Office,
00:37:00.42\00:37:05.45
Dr. Pastor Clive Dalton
have, reached out to 3ABN
00:37:05.49\00:37:09.06
and would love to have us
on board at sports caravan.
00:37:09.09\00:37:12.79
And on that sports
caravan, where it is,
00:37:12.83\00:37:15.73
we go into a very high risk area
00:37:15.76\00:37:18.33
and introduce
more sports to them
00:37:18.37\00:37:21.74
to the children and the youth.
00:37:21.77\00:37:23.34
And it was...
00:37:23.41\00:37:25.07
We had a march
which was supposed to take
00:37:25.11\00:37:27.01
at least hour for the most.
00:37:27.08\00:37:29.51
We march for over three hours.
00:37:29.54\00:37:32.25
And it was
really, it was really fun.
00:37:32.28\00:37:35.98
It was really fun.
00:37:36.02\00:37:38.09
We got the...
00:37:38.12\00:37:39.69
Over three hours?
00:37:39.72\00:37:41.09
Yes, over three hours as well.
00:37:41.12\00:37:43.06
It was really a great event.
00:37:43.09\00:37:45.93
We have also
00:37:45.96\00:37:49.93
met with Dean
00:37:49.96\00:37:53.47
from Dean Wheels.
00:37:53.54\00:37:55.34
He has a monster truck.
00:37:55.37\00:37:57.84
Okay.
00:37:57.87\00:37:59.21
So he was also,
00:37:59.24\00:38:00.58
he came on board of
the Adventist Church
00:38:00.61\00:38:02.21
via 3ABN as well.
00:38:02.24\00:38:03.68
Wow!
00:38:03.75\00:38:05.08
So he came into Adventist Church
00:38:05.11\00:38:06.51
through watching 3ABN?
00:38:06.55\00:38:08.02
Yes, he did. Praise the Lord.
00:38:08.05\00:38:09.48
So the event was on a Sunday.
00:38:09.52\00:38:13.46
And on Sabbath,
00:38:13.49\00:38:14.82
we were looking for
somebody to transport
00:38:14.86\00:38:16.39
about 50 cases of water.
00:38:16.42\00:38:18.09
And we did not have anyone.
00:38:18.13\00:38:20.10
So I was nearby
00:38:20.13\00:38:23.10
at the Adventist Church there.
00:38:23.13\00:38:26.60
And I saw a vehicle and
I asked whose one is that?
00:38:26.63\00:38:31.57
And then I
started to talk with him
00:38:31.61\00:38:33.14
and he gave me his story.
00:38:33.17\00:38:35.28
And I asked him if
he would like to come
00:38:35.31\00:38:36.75
to the event
tomorrow and he did.
00:38:36.78\00:38:39.15
So he brought his
monster Ford Ranger F-250.
00:38:39.18\00:38:44.52
I think we actually
have a picture of that.
00:38:44.55\00:38:47.06
Yes.
00:38:47.09\00:38:48.79
So that is Dean in blue.
00:38:48.82\00:38:51.83
This is his Ford Ranger F-250.
00:38:51.86\00:38:54.40
Children love that.
00:38:54.43\00:38:56.10
They all wanted to
go on it, ride on it.
00:38:56.13\00:38:59.57
Just to take pictures.
00:38:59.60\00:39:01.14
And it was a great
fun for the children
00:39:01.17\00:39:03.91
to be there as well.
00:39:03.94\00:39:05.51
And we thank the
info what he has done.
00:39:05.54\00:39:07.51
Yes.
00:39:07.58\00:39:08.91
And enjoy to the
children as well.
00:39:08.94\00:39:10.95
Yes.
00:39:10.98\00:39:12.48
Wow.
00:39:12.51\00:39:13.85
So you've done the
sports caravan thing
00:39:13.92\00:39:16.55
or the US Embassy?
00:39:16.58\00:39:19.29
Talk to me about the
evangelistic meeting?
00:39:19.32\00:39:23.19
Yes, the
evangelist meeting we hold.
00:39:23.22\00:39:27.33
We supported Pastor Ishaan Arjun
00:39:27.40\00:39:31.83
for evangelistic
meeting in Marvel Parliament.
00:39:31.87\00:39:36.27
And in that meeting,
we were present there
00:39:36.30\00:39:40.38
to give out
flyers in the community.
00:39:40.41\00:39:43.28
And he did fantastic
two weeks presentation
00:39:43.35\00:39:47.22
to that community as well.
00:39:47.25\00:39:48.78
And people got to know
more about 3ABN as well,
00:39:48.82\00:39:52.69
'cause we went in the community,
00:39:52.72\00:39:54.06
have the youths put on
00:39:54.09\00:39:56.22
a beautiful question.
00:39:56.26\00:40:00.30
And when you answer
the question correctly
00:40:00.33\00:40:02.90
about crime,
00:40:02.93\00:40:04.27
they give you a gift,
like a little gift as well.
00:40:04.30\00:40:06.50
So it was really
fantastic on a Sabbath day.
00:40:06.53\00:40:08.30
So it was almost
like a trivia type?
00:40:08.34\00:40:10.11
Yes, it was really, really fun.
00:40:10.14\00:40:11.87
And I was really happy to see
the children did that as well.
00:40:11.91\00:40:16.04
And, so what else,
00:40:16.08\00:40:17.45
what other events or projects
have you been a part of?
00:40:17.48\00:40:20.62
Yes.
00:40:20.65\00:40:21.98
For the past three
years, over three years,
00:40:22.02\00:40:24.19
we have partnered
00:40:24.22\00:40:26.52
with ? Stepan.
00:40:26.55\00:40:31.03
That is, again hosted,
00:40:31.06\00:40:33.16
well, directed by
Pastor Ishaan Arjun.
00:40:33.19\00:40:36.06
And this picture is
part of the Parliament,
00:40:36.10\00:40:41.14
Marvel Parliament Group,
00:40:41.17\00:40:42.57
we went into the
community as well.
00:40:42.60\00:40:44.67
And we'll see
00:40:44.71\00:40:48.34
how what we have done
every for the past three years
00:40:48.38\00:40:51.75
is go to the malls in an island,
00:40:51.78\00:40:55.35
and share the love of God
during the Christmas holidays.
00:40:55.38\00:40:59.45
So he put together the
youths, children and the youths
00:40:59.49\00:41:01.79
and we go into the
malls, all over the island
00:41:01.82\00:41:04.96
wherever we get
permission, we go there,
00:41:04.99\00:41:07.60
and we've also
distribute flyers.
00:41:07.63\00:41:10.57
We have youths and children
00:41:10.60\00:41:13.44
to all corners of
the mall to who enter in.
00:41:13.47\00:41:16.14
We go into the stores
on people inside the mall,
00:41:16.17\00:41:19.17
and we give them the
Spiritual Vigilantes book,
00:41:19.21\00:41:21.81
The Ten
Commandments, the flyers,
00:41:21.84\00:41:24.25
and whatever materials we
have to share 3ABN as well.
00:41:24.28\00:41:27.65
And we have our 14
feet 3ABN mobile as well
00:41:27.68\00:41:31.79
displayed as well.
00:41:31.82\00:41:33.36
Yeah, for the past three years,
we've been doing that as well.
00:41:33.39\00:41:36.16
Yes. Praise the Lord.
00:41:36.19\00:41:37.56
So you've been very,
very active out there
00:41:37.63\00:41:40.90
in Trinidad and
Tobago, and it sounds like,
00:41:40.93\00:41:44.07
you know, the island
is well aware of 3ABN.
00:41:44.10\00:41:48.34
They are and they're
getting to more of it,
00:41:48.37\00:41:50.31
the challenges
that we're an NGO.
00:41:50.34\00:41:52.14
So funding to
advertise in the media as in,
00:41:52.17\00:41:56.78
as in press and
radio is costly, right?
00:41:56.85\00:42:01.22
But when we are
in the community,
00:42:01.25\00:42:03.49
people get to
know that we're there
00:42:03.52\00:42:06.79
and come and ask us questions.
00:42:06.86\00:42:08.62
And we let them know
what we are about, right?
00:42:08.66\00:42:12.16
Another project that
we did for over a year
00:42:12.19\00:42:16.67
at different periods
00:42:16.70\00:42:18.03
is the Princess
Elizabeth Hospital
00:42:18.07\00:42:20.64
for handicapped children.
00:42:20.67\00:42:23.74
God put it in such a
way that He brought someone,
00:42:23.81\00:42:28.28
connect someone to me,
00:42:28.31\00:42:31.41
who was a
director of that hospital.
00:42:31.45\00:42:34.98
And they have had a
lot of frequent flooding.
00:42:35.02\00:42:38.32
And the wheelchairs there
were, some of them are broken,
00:42:38.35\00:42:43.63
and got damaged and such.
00:42:43.66\00:42:45.06
So they were
trying to have it removed.
00:42:45.09\00:42:47.53
And in the pictures,
you will see shortly,
00:42:47.60\00:42:52.03
we, that's a 20 foot bin,
00:42:52.07\00:42:55.07
we filled that up
with, is over two,
00:42:55.10\00:42:58.04
the fact that we full,
plus almost three, almost three
00:42:58.07\00:43:02.08
with broken wheelchairs,
beds, a whole lot of debris.
00:43:02.11\00:43:06.38
So the idea was to
just to do one room,
00:43:06.41\00:43:08.72
and we end up using,
00:43:08.75\00:43:10.19
clean up the entire
compound that has broken stuff.
00:43:10.22\00:43:14.09
We also got paint sponsored.
00:43:14.16\00:43:16.76
And we did a
complete paint on the compound
00:43:16.83\00:43:21.83
with the
volunteers of the members
00:43:21.86\00:43:23.67
of the Woodbrook
Seventh-day Adventist Church
00:43:23.70\00:43:26.53
who came on board and
they were so happy to know.
00:43:26.57\00:43:29.74
This is where they
were painting the wall
00:43:29.77\00:43:32.17
of the compound in the back.
00:43:32.21\00:43:34.31
We did is practically
a whole facelift we did
00:43:34.34\00:43:38.98
in on that compound.
00:43:39.01\00:43:40.72
And it was really
amazing job to know
00:43:40.75\00:43:43.02
that we shared some
joy with the children
00:43:43.05\00:43:46.86
because the place was
not looking up to par.
00:43:46.89\00:43:49.19
Yes.
00:43:49.22\00:43:50.56
Up to par, and it was really fun
00:43:50.63\00:43:53.13
to actually have
the volunteers come.
00:43:53.16\00:43:55.53
And we had some
children involved as well
00:43:55.56\00:43:57.67
'cause wherever we go
00:43:57.70\00:43:59.03
we tried to have
the children from,
00:43:59.07\00:44:00.64
in a community
00:44:00.67\00:44:02.00
of all the parents to be present
00:44:02.04\00:44:03.71
because once they see
that the parents are involved
00:44:03.74\00:44:06.24
in this community work,
00:44:06.27\00:44:08.31
they get to, is press with them,
00:44:08.34\00:44:09.84
it grows with
them as well, right?
00:44:09.88\00:44:12.05
Absolutely. Yeah.
00:44:12.08\00:44:14.88
I mean that is
absolutely incredible.
00:44:14.92\00:44:17.29
And, you know, I can't believe
that we're running low on time.
00:44:17.32\00:44:23.19
We still have
some more to share.
00:44:23.22\00:44:24.79
But prior to talking about
00:44:24.83\00:44:27.20
maybe some of the needs
of 3ABN Trinidad and Tobago,
00:44:27.23\00:44:31.80
we're going to
go to another song
00:44:31.83\00:44:33.84
and this is going to
be sung by Pam Lister
00:44:33.87\00:44:37.67
and it's entitled
"His Life For Mine."
00:44:37.71\00:44:40.28
His heart was broken
00:45:02.33\00:45:04.87
Mine was mended
00:45:04.90\00:45:10.81
He became sin,
00:45:10.84\00:45:13.68
Now I am clean
00:45:13.71\00:45:18.85
The cross he carried
00:45:18.88\00:45:21.55
Bore my burden
00:45:21.58\00:45:27.29
The nails that held him
00:45:27.36\00:45:30.53
Set me free
00:45:30.56\00:45:33.60
His life for mine
00:45:33.63\00:45:43.41
How could it ever be?
00:45:43.44\00:45:50.45
That he would die
00:45:50.48\00:45:54.38
God's son would die
00:45:54.42\00:45:59.92
To save a wretch like me
00:45:59.95\00:46:07.13
What love
divine He gave his life
00:46:07.20\00:46:12.93
For mine
00:46:12.97\00:46:18.17
His scars of suffering
00:46:18.21\00:46:20.78
Brought me healing
00:46:20.81\00:46:26.25
He spilled his blood
00:46:26.28\00:46:29.08
To fill my soul
00:46:29.12\00:46:34.96
His crown of thorns
00:46:34.99\00:46:37.53
Made me royalty
00:46:37.56\00:46:43.10
His sorrow gave me joy untold
00:46:43.13\00:46:49.20
His life for mine
00:46:49.24\00:46:59.11
How could it ever be?
00:46:59.15\00:47:06.25
That he would die
00:47:06.29\00:47:10.23
God's son would die
00:47:10.26\00:47:15.66
To save a wretch like me
00:47:15.70\00:47:22.84
What love
divine He gave his life
00:47:22.87\00:47:28.41
For mine
00:47:28.44\00:47:31.85
He was despised and rejected
00:47:31.88\00:47:36.02
Stripped of his
garments and oppressed
00:47:36.05\00:47:40.86
I am loved and accepted
00:47:40.89\00:47:44.93
And I wear a
robe of righteousness
00:47:44.96\00:47:52.40
His life for mine
00:47:52.43\00:48:02.28
How could it ever be?
00:48:02.31\00:48:09.45
That he would die
00:48:09.48\00:48:13.46
God's son would die
00:48:13.49\00:48:18.89
To save a wretch like me
00:48:18.93\00:48:26.50
Like me
00:48:26.53\00:48:30.21
What love divine
00:48:30.24\00:48:32.97
He gave his life
00:48:33.01\00:48:38.11
For mine
00:48:38.15\00:48:43.69
Wow, His Life For Mine.
00:48:51.63\00:48:54.20
What a
beautiful, beautiful song.
00:48:54.23\00:48:56.90
Rodney, we've talked
about all of these projects
00:48:56.97\00:48:59.70
that 3ABN Trinidad and
Tobago has been a part of.
00:48:59.73\00:49:04.74
But we didn't
cover the health fares?
00:49:04.77\00:49:07.51
Yeah, the health fares,
00:49:07.58\00:49:08.91
we get invited by
the Member of Parliament
00:49:08.94\00:49:11.31
in Olalani government to
come on board the healthier.
00:49:11.35\00:49:14.65
This one is from
the Life Hope Center
00:49:14.68\00:49:17.39
where the legend of our
land, Dr. Pastor Clive Dalton
00:49:17.42\00:49:21.32
invited recently to open
that aspect of the center.
00:49:21.36\00:49:26.83
And on the
other pictures. Right.
00:49:26.90\00:49:29.70
We were at Nestle health fare.
00:49:29.73\00:49:32.80
And this is our Dr.
Dorshew volunteers his time.
00:49:32.83\00:49:36.47
And the line was very,
very long to actually do
00:49:36.50\00:49:40.28
first full contact with people,
00:49:40.31\00:49:42.64
and speaking to them one on one.
00:49:42.68\00:49:45.41
Yes. Wow.
00:49:45.45\00:49:46.85
So I saw that there
was quite a bit of traffic
00:49:46.92\00:49:49.65
at that event?
00:49:49.68\00:49:51.62
Yeah, we had a traffic between
3,000 to 5,000 people that day,
00:49:51.65\00:49:55.22
in one day.
00:49:55.26\00:49:56.59
Well, it's actually
just for a few hours.
00:49:56.62\00:49:58.06
And it's really
amazing to know how people came
00:49:58.09\00:50:02.60
and they get to know about 3ABN,
00:50:02.63\00:50:04.73
yeah, on that particular day.
00:50:04.77\00:50:06.74
What are some of the needs
at 3ABN Trinidad and Tobago?
00:50:06.77\00:50:11.04
We have a great amount of work
to get done more in Trinidad.
00:50:11.07\00:50:14.98
We need to bring
in more of our books
00:50:15.01\00:50:19.38
and our materials to
share God's love for people.
00:50:19.41\00:50:22.85
And a lot more we
want to do in Trinidad.
00:50:22.88\00:50:25.85
So to the people
00:50:25.89\00:50:28.19
who are
listening and to viewers,
00:50:28.22\00:50:29.56
we ask you if you could
kindly grant us your support.
00:50:29.59\00:50:33.90
And let us know that
we can reach more people,
00:50:33.93\00:50:37.40
population of 1.5 million.
00:50:37.47\00:50:39.47
And we can do a whole lot more.
00:50:39.50\00:50:41.27
We have volunteers
who will come on board
00:50:41.30\00:50:43.20
from projects to projects.
00:50:43.24\00:50:44.77
And the need is great,
00:50:44.81\00:50:47.18
and what we
discussed here on projects
00:50:47.21\00:50:49.78
is just a portion of
what we do in Trinidad.
00:50:49.81\00:50:52.88
Wow.
00:50:52.91\00:50:54.52
That's just the portion?
00:50:54.55\00:50:56.22
Yes. Wow.
00:50:56.25\00:50:57.59
So there's so much
more that that's going on.
00:50:57.62\00:50:59.82
So you need volunteers.
00:50:59.85\00:51:02.59
You need people
to spread the Word,
00:51:02.62\00:51:04.26
you need prayers.
00:51:04.33\00:51:05.73
You need
financial support as well.
00:51:05.76\00:51:07.76
Yes, yes, Yes.
00:51:07.80\00:51:09.73
We need a lot of
support in Trinidad and Tobago.
00:51:09.76\00:51:14.34
Well, the beautiful
thing is it seems like
00:51:14.37\00:51:17.61
people have been
catching the vision.
00:51:17.64\00:51:21.31
They've grabbed hold of
3ABN Trinidad and Tobago,
00:51:21.34\00:51:27.32
and they're spreading the word
and passing out the literature,
00:51:27.35\00:51:30.42
and we hope that that
more people will get involved.
00:51:30.49\00:51:34.26
Yes, we pray and hope so
00:51:34.29\00:51:35.62
that we have more
volunteers come on board
00:51:35.66\00:51:38.36
and that they come and
help us to reach more people.
00:51:38.39\00:51:41.16
Absolutely.
00:51:41.20\00:51:42.53
Well right now
we are going to go
00:51:42.56\00:51:44.37
to your contact information,
00:51:44.40\00:51:46.23
and then to news break
and we'll be right back.
