I want to spend my life
00:00:01.93\00:00:07.90
Mending broken people
00:00:07.94\00:00:12.84
I want to spend my life
00:00:12.87\00:00:19.08
Removing pain
00:00:19.11\00:00:24.19
Lord, let my words
00:00:24.22\00:00:30.43
Heal a heart that hurts
00:00:30.46\00:00:35.00
I want to spend my life
00:00:35.03\00:00:40.67
Mending broken people
00:00:40.74\00:00:46.14
I want to spend my life
00:00:46.17\00:00:51.68
Mending broken people
00:00:51.71\00:00:55.15
Hi, and welcome to 3ABN Today.
00:01:10.27\00:01:12.57
I'm Tim Parton,
the general manager
00:01:12.60\00:01:14.34
of the Praise Him Music Network.
00:01:14.37\00:01:15.84
And I'm grateful
that you are tuned in.
00:01:15.87\00:01:18.74
We have a great
program on Christian education.
00:01:18.77\00:01:21.54
And this is my friend
and co-worker, cohort.
00:01:21.58\00:01:25.41
His name is Ryan Day.
00:01:25.45\00:01:26.82
I'm gonna let you tell...
00:01:26.85\00:01:28.18
You tell them what you are.
00:01:28.22\00:01:29.55
I'm Ryan Day, the
assistant to the general manager
00:01:29.58\00:01:30.92
of the 3ABN
Praise Him Music Network.
00:01:30.95\00:01:33.69
And the general
manager is Tim Parton.
00:01:33.76\00:01:35.92
But today we have a
very special program for you.
00:01:35.96\00:01:39.33
We first and foremost wanna
say thank you for your love,
00:01:39.36\00:01:41.73
your prayers,
and support of 3ABN
00:01:41.76\00:01:44.30
and all that we do here.
00:01:44.33\00:01:45.67
We know we
couldn't do any of this,
00:01:45.70\00:01:47.24
nor would this be
possible without you,
00:01:47.27\00:01:48.70
and so we're so thankful
that you're joining us today.
00:01:48.74\00:01:51.34
This special program
ought to be all about
00:01:51.37\00:01:53.81
Christian education.
00:01:53.88\00:01:55.28
And, you know what,
00:01:55.31\00:01:56.64
here at 3ABN we are very much
00:01:56.68\00:01:58.15
a supporter of
Adventist Christian education.
00:01:58.18\00:02:01.08
And it brings
such a blessing for me
00:02:01.12\00:02:03.79
to introduce our guests,
00:02:03.82\00:02:05.15
which seems weird because
it's Danny and Yvonne Shelton,
00:02:05.19\00:02:08.79
which you're usually
here where we're seated,
00:02:08.82\00:02:10.73
and we're usually there,
00:02:10.76\00:02:12.09
but it's a blessing to
have both of you here today.
00:02:12.13\00:02:13.90
Actually, I feel
00:02:13.93\00:02:16.00
maybe more
comfortable on that side
00:02:16.03\00:02:17.83
than I do this side.
00:02:17.87\00:02:19.20
I've done both.
00:02:19.23\00:02:20.57
It's not too late to change.
00:02:20.64\00:02:21.97
Brother, I've
done a few thousand
00:02:22.00\00:02:23.91
of those, you know,
getting interviewed, but now,
00:02:23.94\00:02:26.61
thank you so much
for what you guys do
00:02:26.68\00:02:28.31
for the cause of God.
00:02:28.34\00:02:29.68
And today we are talking
about Christian education,
00:02:29.71\00:02:32.61
Adventist education.
00:02:32.65\00:02:34.35
Now my dad always told me
00:02:34.38\00:02:36.35
that you don't get
anything for nothing.
00:02:36.38\00:02:39.29
But today I'm gonna
see he's resting in Jesus,
00:02:39.32\00:02:42.66
we'll talk about it in eternity,
00:02:42.69\00:02:44.56
but see if I can
prove that wrong today
00:02:44.59\00:02:47.10
'cause there are some
things you can get for nothing
00:02:47.13\00:02:49.86
and we're gonna show
you what that is today.
00:02:49.90\00:02:51.23
Amen.
00:02:51.27\00:02:52.60
And so we're talking
about Christian education,
00:02:52.63\00:02:55.00
Adventist education...
00:02:55.04\00:02:56.37
Christian education
in general is expensive.
00:02:56.40\00:02:59.67
It's tremendously expensive.
00:02:59.71\00:03:01.04
I know.
00:03:01.08\00:03:02.41
I've sent some
daughters through, you know,
00:03:02.44\00:03:03.95
the academies and now
00:03:03.98\00:03:06.01
the youngest one
Trinity through college,
00:03:06.05\00:03:08.52
and it's very expensive.
00:03:08.55\00:03:09.88
So what is one of the
things that schools normally do?
00:03:09.92\00:03:13.36
Your wife's a
school teacher, right?
00:03:13.39\00:03:14.72
That's right.
00:03:14.76\00:03:16.09
So we're just gonna talk
about fund raising, but, Yvonne,
00:03:16.12\00:03:18.46
you know a little bit
about Christian education,
00:03:18.49\00:03:20.50
in fact, through your dad.
00:03:20.53\00:03:22.03
I do. I do.
00:03:22.06\00:03:23.47
My dad was a
principal of an Adventist school
00:03:23.50\00:03:26.53
for many years,
00:03:26.57\00:03:27.90
Bethel
Seventh-day Adventist School,
00:03:27.94\00:03:29.57
and also
Amityville School in New York,
00:03:29.60\00:03:32.97
in Brooklyn, New York.
00:03:33.01\00:03:34.58
And Pastor John
Lomacang knows about that.
00:03:34.61\00:03:38.11
He does because... Because.
00:03:38.15\00:03:39.48
Because our subject
00:03:39.51\00:03:41.62
that's when they
could give whippings
00:03:41.65\00:03:43.05
and her dad gave John
a whipping with a wire...
00:03:43.08\00:03:46.42
He only got one.
00:03:46.45\00:03:47.79
He only got one, but...
00:03:47.82\00:03:49.16
Once what? Or one whipping?
00:03:49.19\00:03:50.53
One whipping. Oh, good.
00:03:50.56\00:03:51.89
As far as I know. Must
have been a dandy again.
00:03:51.93\00:03:53.93
I don't think
he got another one,
00:03:54.00\00:03:55.53
but I know that, you
know, they would need funds.
00:03:55.56\00:04:00.24
There was always
this need for funds
00:04:00.27\00:04:03.27
and they would do
things like selling oranges
00:04:03.30\00:04:05.67
or grapefruit.
00:04:05.71\00:04:07.08
My dad always had
grapefruits in his office.
00:04:07.11\00:04:08.81
Grapefruit and...
00:04:08.84\00:04:10.45
That's some of the
best things they could do.
00:04:10.48\00:04:11.81
Yeah.
00:04:11.85\00:04:13.18
Well, candy,
00:04:13.21\00:04:14.88
and all kinds of
like junky stuff too.
00:04:14.92\00:04:19.32
But, you know,
people were buying that
00:04:19.35\00:04:21.46
because they wanted to support
00:04:21.49\00:04:23.66
Christian education.
00:04:23.73\00:04:25.09
One of the things I want
to say about the importance
00:04:25.13\00:04:27.23
of Christian education
00:04:27.30\00:04:28.63
is that on Dare to
Dream I interview notice,
00:04:28.66\00:04:32.17
I put a little plug
in for Dare to Dream.
00:04:32.20\00:04:34.07
I interviewed an author
and his name was Paul Tough,
00:04:34.14\00:04:38.81
and he wrote a book
entitled "How Children Succeed."
00:04:38.84\00:04:42.54
And he said that reading
00:04:42.58\00:04:48.42
and writing and arithmetic
00:04:48.45\00:04:50.19
are all very important.
00:04:50.22\00:04:52.39
But there are other
things that are important too,
00:04:52.42\00:04:54.76
character development,
integrity, perseverance,
00:04:54.79\00:04:57.86
and these kinds of things
are taught in our schools.
00:04:57.89\00:05:02.36
And so even though the schools
aren't fancy, many times,
00:05:02.40\00:05:06.10
they are really
putting out great leaders,
00:05:06.13\00:05:09.24
people who are successful,
people who love Jesus...
00:05:09.27\00:05:11.87
And they're not perfect.
00:05:11.91\00:05:13.24
And they're not perfect,
00:05:13.27\00:05:14.61
but it's so interesting to
me that these small schools,
00:05:14.64\00:05:18.38
though they might not
have cutting-edge equipment
00:05:18.41\00:05:20.72
and that kind of thing.
00:05:20.75\00:05:22.08
Right.
00:05:22.12\00:05:23.49
They are putting
out top-notch people
00:05:23.52\00:05:25.92
because they are learning
other things in addition
00:05:25.95\00:05:29.32
to the academics.
00:05:29.36\00:05:30.73
And so these
things are important.
00:05:30.76\00:05:32.13
That's why Christian education
00:05:32.16\00:05:34.30
is so important
because it is helping to train
00:05:34.33\00:05:37.67
future leaders,
00:05:37.70\00:05:39.07
future Christian
leaders of tomorrow,
00:05:39.10\00:05:42.17
people who love
Jesus and who will share
00:05:42.20\00:05:45.24
Jesus with the community.
00:05:45.27\00:05:46.78
So I think that, you
know, we tend to underestimate
00:05:46.81\00:05:50.65
the importance of
Christian education,
00:05:50.68\00:05:52.48
and I know I'm rambling,
00:05:52.51\00:05:54.75
but I just mean to say this too.
00:05:54.78\00:05:57.29
The other part of it is
00:05:57.32\00:05:58.85
what are our children getting
00:05:58.89\00:06:01.16
in the public schools now.
00:06:01.19\00:06:03.83
Now when we were growing up...
00:06:03.86\00:06:06.09
Well, these are
babies over here.
00:06:06.13\00:06:08.63
But when we were growing up...
00:06:08.66\00:06:10.30
Watch it.
00:06:10.37\00:06:13.34
You know, we were
learning certain things
00:06:13.37\00:06:15.47
and it wasn't as
socially focused as it is now.
00:06:15.50\00:06:20.58
Now there are some other things
that children are being taught
00:06:20.61\00:06:24.85
that are just so inappropriate.
00:06:24.88\00:06:27.12
And it's, you know,
whether it's the sex education,
00:06:27.15\00:06:30.79
which is inappropriate
00:06:30.82\00:06:32.29
to introducing
certain religious teachings
00:06:32.32\00:06:36.26
which are
contrary to our teachings,
00:06:36.29\00:06:39.03
I mean, all kinds of things
00:06:39.06\00:06:40.40
and our kids are
being indoctrinated
00:06:40.43\00:06:42.93
in the public schools.
00:06:42.96\00:06:44.30
So really, we really need
to look at as much as possible
00:06:44.33\00:06:48.04
whenever possible,
00:06:48.07\00:06:49.44
putting our children
into Christian institutions
00:06:49.47\00:06:52.07
and supporting them.
00:06:52.11\00:06:53.48
Absolutely,
'cause back in the day,
00:06:53.51\00:06:55.61
you know, even in
the secular schools,
00:06:55.64\00:06:57.48
you were taught
to respect for God,
00:06:57.55\00:06:59.68
the flag, and family,
00:06:59.71\00:07:01.98
you know, and today,
you don't see that at all.
00:07:02.02\00:07:04.92
I mean, it's such a disrespect
and it's just amazing.
00:07:04.95\00:07:08.19
So Christian education,
00:07:08.22\00:07:10.23
without a doubt
anytime you're basing,
00:07:10.26\00:07:13.19
you know, your
teachings on the Bible,
00:07:13.23\00:07:15.40
you can't go wrong.
00:07:15.43\00:07:16.77
Train up the
child when he's young,
00:07:16.80\00:07:18.23
when he's older
may not depart from it.
00:07:18.27\00:07:20.77
Now your wife's
a school teacher,
00:07:20.84\00:07:22.17
tell us about that, Ryan?
00:07:22.20\00:07:23.54
I can relate all of this
what we're talking about,
00:07:23.57\00:07:25.41
my wife, both me and my wife
00:07:25.44\00:07:27.51
were education majors in college
00:07:27.58\00:07:29.38
and we were both
intending on going
00:07:29.41\00:07:31.21
into the public
school sector and teaching.
00:07:31.25\00:07:33.62
And praise the Lord,
00:07:33.65\00:07:35.15
my wife is now a
principal and head teacher
00:07:35.18\00:07:37.49
of the Thompsonville
Junior Christian Academy.
00:07:37.52\00:07:40.66
Here across in 3ABN, of
course, she's taught, you know,
00:07:40.69\00:07:43.06
few years now in
Adventist Christian education.
00:07:43.09\00:07:46.19
And so, you know,
just listen to you,
00:07:46.23\00:07:48.20
Yvonne, talk about, you know,
00:07:48.23\00:07:49.80
what the kids are
getting in public school versus,
00:07:49.83\00:07:52.20
you know, this
Christian education experience.
00:07:52.23\00:07:54.74
I can relate to that because
both me and my wife grew up
00:07:54.77\00:07:57.81
going all of our
life to public school.
00:07:57.84\00:07:59.91
The things that kids
are exposed to today,
00:07:59.94\00:08:02.74
there's more of an
academic pressure upon them
00:08:02.78\00:08:05.38
rather than building character
and learning life lessons,
00:08:05.41\00:08:07.82
which is what you get
00:08:07.85\00:08:09.18
in an Christian
education atmosphere,
00:08:09.22\00:08:11.65
we want our kids to...
00:08:11.69\00:08:13.02
Yes, be smart, be
able to do the academics,
00:08:13.05\00:08:15.32
be able to learn, you
know, writing, and arithmetic,
00:08:15.36\00:08:17.63
mathematics, science, all
those things are important,
00:08:17.66\00:08:19.76
but we also want them
00:08:19.79\00:08:21.13
to have a good
head on their shoulders
00:08:21.16\00:08:22.50
and be able to go
out into the real world,
00:08:22.53\00:08:24.07
and be able to live and function
00:08:24.10\00:08:26.10
not just as an adult,
00:08:26.13\00:08:27.47
but as a Christian adult
00:08:27.54\00:08:28.87
who is being led
by the Spirit of God.
00:08:28.90\00:08:30.44
And so, my wife as a teacher,
00:08:30.51\00:08:33.24
as you kind of
opened the program with,
00:08:33.27\00:08:36.04
you know, they're always
looking for ways to raise money
00:08:36.08\00:08:39.38
to try to continue
that educational experience
00:08:39.41\00:08:42.78
so that because it cost
00:08:42.82\00:08:44.42
that public schools may be free,
00:08:44.45\00:08:46.19
and we know it's
technically not free.
00:08:46.22\00:08:47.56
It's paid by tax
dollars, but, you know,
00:08:47.59\00:08:49.66
parents don't have
to pay out of pocket
00:08:49.69\00:08:51.39
like they do
Christian education.
00:08:51.43\00:08:53.06
And so it's kind of unfortunate
that that's the reality,
00:08:53.09\00:08:55.26
but it's worth the cost.
00:08:55.30\00:08:56.67
Yes.
00:08:56.70\00:08:58.03
And so this is what
we're talking about today.
00:08:58.07\00:08:59.53
You know, how we, how you
00:08:59.57\00:09:01.74
can become
involved in, you know,
00:09:01.77\00:09:05.44
providing and helping support
Adventist Christian education
00:09:05.47\00:09:10.88
today and so yeah, absolutely.
00:09:10.95\00:09:13.15
I'm always
interested as like when,
00:09:13.18\00:09:15.28
at the end of
summer when school starts,
00:09:15.32\00:09:18.35
there's usually some
kind of a news report
00:09:18.39\00:09:20.16
on the teachers
00:09:20.19\00:09:21.79
that are preparing
their classroom for the year
00:09:21.82\00:09:25.36
and how much
money they're having
00:09:25.39\00:09:27.33
to put out of pocket themselves.
00:09:27.40\00:09:29.46
And I don't have statistics
you can find them online,
00:09:29.50\00:09:33.13
I'm sure,
00:09:33.17\00:09:34.50
but we all know
00:09:34.54\00:09:36.07
and here that are
the teacher salaries
00:09:36.10\00:09:38.81
are so low and for them
to have to then give money
00:09:38.84\00:09:41.51
out of their pocket to
provide even if it's not,
00:09:41.54\00:09:44.08
you know, a
cutting-edge as you were saying
00:09:44.15\00:09:46.08
just simple paper and
the just the little things
00:09:46.11\00:09:49.28
that get students
by in the classroom.
00:09:49.32\00:09:51.72
Absolutely.
00:09:51.75\00:09:53.09
So I think this is a
hugely important opportunity
00:09:53.12\00:09:56.93
for our viewers to get
involved in Christian education.
00:09:56.96\00:10:00.70
Absolutely, I was thinking
00:10:00.73\00:10:02.06
also just you
mentioned earlier, you know,
00:10:02.10\00:10:04.07
the teachers are always
trying to come up with ways
00:10:04.10\00:10:06.84
of raising money.
00:10:06.87\00:10:08.44
And there's, you know,
whether it's selling candy,
00:10:08.47\00:10:10.41
you know, I remember in school
we sold Krispy Kreme Doughnuts.
00:10:10.44\00:10:14.84
I'm not the best things to
be selling, but nonetheless,
00:10:14.88\00:10:18.25
you know,
Krispy Kreme Doughnuts.
00:10:18.28\00:10:20.32
I think we did like, you
know, Little Caesars Pizzas,
00:10:20.35\00:10:23.28
and get some things,
and, you know, the candy,
00:10:23.32\00:10:26.02
and of course,
00:10:26.05\00:10:27.39
my wife's previous
school they did hot lunches
00:10:27.46\00:10:29.59
where the school
would provide the lunch,
00:10:29.62\00:10:30.96
but the parents and the kids
00:10:30.99\00:10:32.33
would bring the money to try to,
00:10:32.36\00:10:33.70
you know, build those
funds so that you can continue
00:10:33.73\00:10:36.06
that Christian education.
00:10:36.10\00:10:37.47
So they're always
trying to find ways,
00:10:37.50\00:10:40.24
creative ways to raise
money for education like this.
00:10:40.27\00:10:43.34
Yes. Yes.
00:10:43.41\00:10:44.74
Just maybe
three years or so ago,
00:10:44.77\00:10:46.57
I don't remember three or four
00:10:46.61\00:10:48.28
'cause each year it happens.
00:10:48.31\00:10:49.81
I had students
come to me and say,
00:10:49.84\00:10:52.35
"Hey, we're selling
candy for our school
00:10:52.38\00:10:55.05
and this is to some
class trip or some, you know,
00:10:55.08\00:10:58.79
extra activity
that they love doing
00:10:58.82\00:11:01.49
and should get to do.
00:11:01.52\00:11:03.22
And so we're raising money.
00:11:03.26\00:11:05.49
And one of you will
buy some of the list
00:11:05.53\00:11:08.80
I think there were
Snicker bars and Reese's
00:11:08.83\00:11:10.77
and all kinds of
things like that.
00:11:10.80\00:11:13.20
And it occurred to me, you know,
00:11:13.23\00:11:14.80
isn't it a shame
00:11:14.84\00:11:16.44
that we feel
like we have to sell,
00:11:16.47\00:11:19.24
you know, candy
or sell something
00:11:19.27\00:11:21.78
in order to have a school
00:11:21.81\00:11:23.85
to be able to afford to go there
00:11:23.88\00:11:25.21
and to be able to do things,
00:11:25.25\00:11:26.58
like take trips to whether
it's Pathfinders or whether
00:11:26.61\00:11:29.65
it's when they all
get together with like,
00:11:29.68\00:11:32.59
Wisconsin once had
Camporee up there, Oshkosh,
00:11:32.62\00:11:35.89
those type of things.
00:11:35.92\00:11:37.26
So there's
always a need for money.
00:11:37.33\00:11:39.19
So it occurred to me,
00:11:39.23\00:11:40.60
what would be a good way
of getting people to support
00:11:40.63\00:11:44.07
Christian education?
00:11:44.10\00:11:45.43
Now you may say, "Well,
00:11:45.47\00:11:46.80
what's 3ABN worried
about Christian education?"
00:11:46.84\00:11:50.11
They must have too
much money. No, we don't.
00:11:50.14\00:11:51.91
We live month to month
and as the Lord provides,
00:11:51.94\00:11:55.68
and thankfully,
00:11:55.71\00:11:57.48
at the end of this
year, we ended up not in debt,
00:11:57.55\00:12:00.75
but not having hardly
any money in the bank.
00:12:00.82\00:12:02.55
But what's new, it's
been that way for 35 years.
00:12:02.58\00:12:05.15
So we praise the Lord,
He supplies every need.
00:12:05.19\00:12:07.89
But my thought
was is, you know what,
00:12:07.92\00:12:09.46
God blesses us
when we bless others,
00:12:09.49\00:12:11.53
when we help.
00:12:11.56\00:12:12.89
So it occurred to me,
00:12:12.93\00:12:14.30
what could we put in
the hands of our students
00:12:14.33\00:12:17.70
in the Christian schools
00:12:17.73\00:12:19.63
not even
necessarily just Adventists
00:12:19.67\00:12:21.34
if you're watching and
you have a church school,
00:12:21.37\00:12:23.81
and a Christian school,
00:12:23.84\00:12:25.17
what could you put in your hands
00:12:25.21\00:12:26.98
that would help and
not just be something
00:12:27.01\00:12:29.81
that's gonna disappear
or somebody eats it, right?
00:12:29.84\00:12:32.65
Or, you know, whatever.
00:12:32.68\00:12:34.52
So it occurred to
me music products,
00:12:34.55\00:12:36.89
what do people, what
can make a difference?
00:12:36.92\00:12:39.19
A lot of young kids
starting grade school
00:12:39.22\00:12:41.22
and all they're not gonna
be able to preach a sermon.
00:12:41.26\00:12:43.53
Maybe they can take some music,
00:12:43.56\00:12:45.96
and offer it for
sale in the community
00:12:45.99\00:12:49.20
now does several things.
00:12:49.23\00:12:50.77
It gets the kids minds
00:12:50.80\00:12:53.00
on spiritual things
'cause now you're there...
00:12:53.03\00:12:56.04
First of all, it's a big,
00:12:56.07\00:12:57.41
I talked to Evelyn
Haney when she was here.
00:12:57.44\00:12:59.14
She told me what a headache
00:12:59.17\00:13:00.88
in order to buy the candy
00:13:00.91\00:13:02.61
then keep track of
every candy bars sold
00:13:02.64\00:13:05.78
and those they're missing
00:13:05.81\00:13:07.15
and how much you have
to give to the company,
00:13:07.22\00:13:09.12
and then get so
much, it's a lot of...
00:13:09.15\00:13:11.32
Your wife will tell you,
00:13:11.35\00:13:12.69
it's a lot of
headache and a lot of bookwork
00:13:12.72\00:13:14.79
and I'm not somebody
to waste a lot of time
00:13:14.82\00:13:17.53
in that much
organization so I thought okay,
00:13:17.56\00:13:20.40
how can we just skip all that.
00:13:20.43\00:13:22.70
So I said, "Okay,
00:13:22.73\00:13:24.07
what about this if
folk make a donation
00:13:24.10\00:13:27.24
to 3ABN for instance."
00:13:27.27\00:13:28.90
We'll put a
graphic up on the screen.
00:13:28.94\00:13:30.97
I'm just gonna use the
figure because it's easy to use.
00:13:31.01\00:13:34.64
We're gonna ask
you to make a donation
00:13:34.68\00:13:36.28
for Adventist education
or a Christian education,
00:13:36.31\00:13:39.71
however you wanna
put on your check.
00:13:39.75\00:13:41.78
This is a...
00:13:41.82\00:13:43.15
You're gonna get a tax receipt
00:13:43.18\00:13:44.72
just like you would
with a regular donation
00:13:44.75\00:13:47.16
to 3ABN,
00:13:47.19\00:13:48.52
but what's gonna happen
00:13:48.56\00:13:49.89
is 3ABN has
numbers of music projects.
00:13:49.92\00:13:53.09
Some of those we
put as much as $100,000.
00:13:53.13\00:13:56.06
As you know, Tim,
00:13:56.10\00:13:57.47
and you produce
some of these projects.
00:13:57.50\00:14:00.14
I'm talking about
orchestras and choirs
00:14:00.17\00:14:02.77
and projects that
we put a lot into,
00:14:02.80\00:14:05.14
what if we could
put that in the hands
00:14:05.17\00:14:07.31
of every school in America,
00:14:07.38\00:14:09.91
every church school in America
at no cost to the school.
00:14:09.94\00:14:13.42
Right.
00:14:13.45\00:14:14.78
I'm gonna say that
again. No cost to the school.
00:14:14.82\00:14:17.72
Now being raised an Adventist,
00:14:17.75\00:14:19.49
my mother became one in the year
00:14:19.52\00:14:20.86
I was born 1951.
00:14:20.89\00:14:22.92
Time does go back that far,
00:14:22.96\00:14:25.46
I did notice lately though,
00:14:25.49\00:14:26.90
when you're online or something,
00:14:26.93\00:14:28.90
and it gives your
birth date that your...
00:14:28.93\00:14:30.87
Had to keep scrolling I know.
00:14:30.90\00:14:33.07
It goes so much
farther than my age, my date
00:14:33.10\00:14:35.60
what bothers me
somewhat is like,
00:14:35.64\00:14:37.84
"Wait, what's going on here?"
00:14:37.87\00:14:39.21
But anyway, so now
00:14:39.24\00:14:41.04
back to the Christian education.
00:14:41.08\00:14:42.51
So here we are,
00:14:42.54\00:14:44.05
what do we put in the hands
00:14:44.08\00:14:46.11
of these kids that would
now put them into ministry,
00:14:46.15\00:14:49.38
being ministry minded?
00:14:49.42\00:14:50.89
What do we give the
people in the neighborhood
00:14:50.92\00:14:53.56
in the communities and the hands
00:14:53.59\00:14:56.12
that may at some
point be their salvation?
00:14:56.16\00:14:58.26
That's right.
00:14:58.29\00:14:59.63
Because these
productions that we do,
00:14:59.66\00:15:02.43
incredible productions
with incredible musicians
00:15:02.46\00:15:05.17
and singers and
so then we've written
00:15:05.20\00:15:08.87
some CDs with
kids songs on them,
00:15:08.90\00:15:11.64
that they can learn
the Ten Commandments,
00:15:11.67\00:15:13.61
learn the Bible,
things that they can.
00:15:13.68\00:15:15.51
Tim arranged them
and played on them
00:15:15.54\00:15:17.68
and help me in
every way possible
00:15:17.71\00:15:20.42
to make them like decent songs
00:15:20.45\00:15:22.28
now which I appreciate so much.
00:15:22.32\00:15:24.29
And so here's the thing.
00:15:24.32\00:15:26.45
So how can, I said...
00:15:26.49\00:15:27.82
How can we help
00:15:27.86\00:15:29.49
get this into the
hands for nothing?
00:15:29.52\00:15:31.49
So here's the
idea that came to me
00:15:31.53\00:15:33.16
and think it was of the Lord
00:15:33.19\00:15:34.73
was maybe we
could put a graphic up
00:15:34.76\00:15:36.97
and would show
that if someone gave
00:15:37.00\00:15:40.04
and you don't have to
give, you can give $5, $10
00:15:40.07\00:15:42.77
but let's just say
that you gave $150.
00:15:42.80\00:15:45.94
So I know Adventists, we
love to be good stewards,
00:15:45.97\00:15:49.71
and we love to give to missions,
00:15:49.74\00:15:51.18
but we also love matching funds,
00:15:51.21\00:15:53.95
but I've never
heard of a triple fund.
00:15:54.02\00:15:56.35
So what came to me was okay,
00:15:56.38\00:15:59.25
let's say that you donate $150.
00:15:59.29\00:16:02.39
Now what's gonna
happen is that $350 or $150,
00:16:02.42\00:16:08.36
3ABN will donate 20 of
CDs or DVDs of these projects.
00:16:08.40\00:16:14.60
We're gonna show you,
00:16:14.64\00:16:15.97
we're gonna do some of the songs
00:16:16.00\00:16:17.34
and let you decide
those of you at home.
00:16:17.41\00:16:19.61
So we're gonna donate
20, which is $300 worth,
00:16:19.64\00:16:23.68
but when we sell those,
00:16:23.75\00:16:25.31
or we're gonna
give those to the kids,
00:16:25.35\00:16:27.68
when they sell
them, they get $450.
00:16:27.72\00:16:31.12
Okay, for 15 CDs, the
school doesn't pay a penny.
00:16:31.15\00:16:34.69
So what happens the
donor gives $150, right?
00:16:34.72\00:16:38.59
Then what happens 3ABN
has put the money into the CDs
00:16:38.63\00:16:42.00
and we have to do the printing,
00:16:42.03\00:16:43.47
we have to do the shipping,
00:16:43.50\00:16:44.83
and all of that.
00:16:44.87\00:16:46.20
So that 300 give
several dollars for 3ABN.
00:16:46.23\00:16:49.64
So we actually after
it's all said and done,
00:16:49.67\00:16:52.57
we might be able to keep
$2 or $3 out of that too,
00:16:52.61\00:16:57.15
but then we give
them to the schools.
00:16:57.18\00:16:59.21
So the schools
don't put out one penny.
00:16:59.25\00:17:01.98
So your $100 and $150 you give
00:17:02.02\00:17:05.72
actually brings
the Adventist School
00:17:05.75\00:17:07.89
or the Christian school $450
00:17:07.92\00:17:11.06
and the money in
between is the wholesale cost
00:17:11.09\00:17:13.70
of 3ABN's manufacturing
or shipping or handling,
00:17:13.73\00:17:16.70
you know, and of course,
00:17:16.77\00:17:18.10
the $100,000 we
put into the production
00:17:18.13\00:17:20.54
to begin with.
00:17:20.57\00:17:21.90
So what do you
think? Does that make sense?
00:17:21.94\00:17:24.01
It's amazing. I
mean, really, it's amazing.
00:17:24.04\00:17:26.68
It's an amazing
idea because the schools
00:17:26.71\00:17:30.28
don't have to put out anything.
00:17:30.35\00:17:31.68
They don't have
to pre-buy candy,
00:17:31.71\00:17:33.82
and then resell
it, they don't have to,
00:17:33.85\00:17:35.48
now they get
these witnessing tools
00:17:35.52\00:17:38.22
which is what they are.
00:17:38.25\00:17:40.19
They get these witnessing tools,
00:17:40.26\00:17:41.59
they can go out
in the community,
00:17:41.62\00:17:43.22
or go to their just
your next door neighbor
00:17:43.26\00:17:46.43
or whatever and sell them.
00:17:46.46\00:17:48.60
And the value is tripled
of the original donation.
00:17:48.63\00:17:52.90
Right. I just could, I'm
bump in here and mention,
00:17:52.93\00:17:55.17
you know, this is significant.
00:17:55.20\00:17:56.54
The fact that some of
these other fundraisers
00:17:56.57\00:18:00.61
that they do in schools,
00:18:00.68\00:18:02.14
I mean, what they don't
sell, they have to pay for.
00:18:02.18\00:18:04.15
And so sometimes, you know,
00:18:04.18\00:18:05.68
the schools have a
good intentions to say,
00:18:05.71\00:18:07.35
you know what,
let's try a fundraiser,
00:18:07.42\00:18:08.85
and then they end up
with a lot of excess extra,
00:18:08.88\00:18:11.62
whatever it is
that they're selling,
00:18:11.65\00:18:12.99
and then they
have to be out money
00:18:13.02\00:18:14.69
and sometimes they
barely even break even
00:18:14.72\00:18:16.59
and sometimes
even go in the hole.
00:18:16.62\00:18:18.03
And so to hear
this concept is just,
00:18:18.06\00:18:20.00
it's got to be a
blessing for sure.
00:18:20.03\00:18:21.36
Yes, yes, yes.
00:18:21.40\00:18:22.73
And there are so many schools.
00:18:22.76\00:18:24.83
When this program
was first announced,
00:18:24.87\00:18:27.67
they've been so many
schools that said, you know,
00:18:27.70\00:18:31.04
we really need help.
00:18:31.07\00:18:32.41
What can we do?
00:18:32.44\00:18:33.78
We really need help,
how can we get involved?
00:18:33.81\00:18:36.64
If you have your
principal at school,
00:18:36.68\00:18:40.85
or your pastor,
00:18:40.92\00:18:42.68
or if, you know, some
conference representative,
00:18:42.72\00:18:46.49
let or the
teacher maybe your teacher
00:18:46.52\00:18:48.99
from the school
goes to your church,
00:18:49.02\00:18:50.93
let them know that
this program is available
00:18:50.96\00:18:54.00
so that they can know
how to get these materials
00:18:54.03\00:18:57.50
into their
schools and raise money.
00:18:57.57\00:18:59.83
It's amazing.
00:18:59.87\00:19:01.20
Is it too soon to...
00:19:01.24\00:19:02.57
No, I started to say we
can talk some more about it
00:19:02.60\00:19:05.37
we'll go back over it again,
00:19:05.41\00:19:06.78
but maybe we should
show some of the music
00:19:06.81\00:19:09.74
we must start out with the...
00:19:09.78\00:19:11.55
Let's do the kid, children's...
00:19:11.58\00:19:13.55
Yeah, from children's CD,
00:19:13.62\00:19:14.95
I think the first
one is Love Rules.
00:19:14.98\00:19:16.79
Yeah, Love Rules.
00:19:16.82\00:19:18.29
It's, there's a CD and a DVD.
00:19:18.32\00:19:21.32
Yeah, so you take
your pick, CD, DVD.
00:19:21.36\00:19:23.93
Yeah. And 11 songs on there.
00:19:23.96\00:19:25.66
Yeah.
00:19:25.69\00:19:27.03
Danny Shelton and kids
songs are written by you,
00:19:27.10\00:19:30.97
Bible based...
00:19:31.00\00:19:32.33
Yeah, they're all Bible based.
00:19:32.37\00:19:34.14
And the first one
is just a fun song.
00:19:34.17\00:19:37.74
And it just kind of
came to me about 30 minutes.
00:19:37.77\00:19:40.58
And we talked
about on air, a kid say,
00:19:40.61\00:19:42.94
girls rule or
boys rule or whatever.
00:19:42.98\00:19:45.55
And then I said,
"You know, love rules."
00:19:45.58\00:19:47.55
So we made a
little song out of that
00:19:47.62\00:19:49.48
so we can go to
that if you want to.
00:19:49.52\00:19:51.09
Amen. With Love Rules.
00:19:51.12\00:19:52.45
There are rules at
home And rules at school
00:20:01.26\00:20:05.20
Rules on the
playground And rules in the pool
00:20:05.23\00:20:09.54
But there's one
rule That is the best
00:20:09.57\00:20:13.11
And if you keep this
rule You will be blessed
00:20:13.14\00:20:18.58
Isn't it cool that love rules?
00:20:18.61\00:20:22.95
Isn't it great there's no hate
00:20:22.98\00:20:26.76
Where love rules?
00:20:26.79\00:20:29.92
It's no accident you see
00:20:29.96\00:20:33.53
That's the way it's
meant to be since God is love,
00:20:33.60\00:20:40.54
Love rules Love rules
00:20:40.57\00:20:47.48
There are rules for
this And rules for that
00:20:47.51\00:20:51.61
There are even
rules For dogs and cats
00:20:51.65\00:20:55.15
There are some we
like And some we don't
00:20:55.18\00:20:59.02
Some we'll keep
And some we won't
00:20:59.05\00:21:03.12
But there's one
rule That is the best
00:21:03.16\00:21:07.00
And if you keep this
rule You will be blessed
00:21:07.03\00:21:12.33
Isn't it cool that love rules?
00:21:12.37\00:21:16.71
Isn't it great there's no hate
00:21:16.74\00:21:20.51
Where love rules?
00:21:20.58\00:21:23.78
It's no accident you see
00:21:23.85\00:21:27.32
That's the way It's meant to be
00:21:27.35\00:21:31.25
Since God is love,
00:21:31.29\00:21:34.32
Love rules Love rules
00:21:34.36\00:21:39.36
Now the Bible tells
00:21:42.36\00:21:45.30
Of God's great love
00:21:45.33\00:21:49.47
How Jesus came From heaven above
00:21:49.50\00:21:54.94
He gave His life on Calvary
00:21:57.98\00:22:01.72
He died that day So
got whole world could see
00:22:01.75\00:22:07.26
Isn't it cool that love rules?
00:22:07.29\00:22:11.53
Isn't it great there's no hate
00:22:11.56\00:22:15.40
Where love rules?
00:22:15.43\00:22:18.63
It's no accident you see
00:22:18.67\00:22:22.14
That's the way It's meant to be
00:22:22.17\00:22:26.04
Since God is love
00:22:26.07\00:22:29.18
Isn't it cool that love rules?
00:22:29.21\00:22:33.62
Isn't it great there's no hate
00:22:33.65\00:22:37.09
Where love rules?
00:22:37.12\00:22:40.66
It's no accident you see
00:22:40.69\00:22:44.33
That's the way It's meant to be
00:22:44.36\00:22:48.10
Since God is love
00:22:48.13\00:22:51.23
Love rules Love rules
00:22:51.27\00:23:04.78
Love rules!
00:23:04.81\00:23:06.15
Isn't that great?
Oh, praise the Lord.
00:23:11.22\00:23:12.69
That's amazing.
00:23:12.72\00:23:14.06
I love to hear
children sing the word.
00:23:14.09\00:23:15.42
The Word of God.
00:23:15.46\00:23:16.83
Amen. That's so powerful.
00:23:16.86\00:23:18.19
I can imagine going to
sleep with that at night.
00:23:18.23\00:23:19.56
Right.
00:23:19.59\00:23:20.93
And memorizing
the Ten Commandments.
00:23:20.96\00:23:22.40
Absolutely. Yeah.
00:23:22.43\00:23:23.77
The long
version, that's powerful.
00:23:23.80\00:23:25.30
And in US it's
like a Snickers bar
00:23:25.33\00:23:27.54
or Reese's bar, I mean,
00:23:27.57\00:23:28.90
this is the
Word of God in music.
00:23:28.94\00:23:31.17
And so as I'm
listening to these songs,
00:23:31.21\00:23:32.87
I'm thinking,
"Wow, this is amazing."
00:23:32.91\00:23:34.81
If somebody came to
my door and was selling,
00:23:34.84\00:23:36.85
you know, this,
00:23:36.88\00:23:38.21
I would jump on in a heartbeat
00:23:38.25\00:23:39.58
because I love the Word
of God and I love music,
00:23:39.61\00:23:41.18
and so provides a way
00:23:41.22\00:23:42.62
to get the gospel
message out there,
00:23:42.65\00:23:44.09
which is a blessing.
00:23:44.12\00:23:45.45
I can, the
children would be so proud
00:23:45.49\00:23:47.36
to sell something like
this to their neighbor.
00:23:47.39\00:23:48.82
That's right. Absolutely.
00:23:48.86\00:23:50.23
And, Yvonne,
00:23:50.26\00:23:51.59
we're talking about
for those just joining us,
00:23:51.63\00:23:53.40
Adventist education
00:23:53.43\00:23:55.03
and how to help and support
00:23:55.06\00:23:56.40
that we'd like to
raise a million dollars
00:23:56.43\00:23:58.80
for Adventist education.
00:23:58.83\00:24:00.54
This is not for 3ABN,
but Adventist education,
00:24:00.57\00:24:03.81
but we are the conduit.
00:24:03.84\00:24:05.34
And the idea came
just three, four years ago,
00:24:05.37\00:24:07.81
two or three years
ago, whatever it was,
00:24:07.84\00:24:09.91
we did this few
years ago and people said,
00:24:09.94\00:24:11.71
"Can you do it again?"
00:24:11.75\00:24:13.28
So what happens if
you make a donation...
00:24:13.31\00:24:15.25
Well, let me see
if you've got it now.
00:24:15.28\00:24:17.12
Is this a test? Yes.
00:24:17.19\00:24:18.52
I'm feeling like I'm like this,
00:24:18.55\00:24:19.89
is this like a
quiz or something?
00:24:19.92\00:24:21.26
Yeah, you've a quiz,
00:24:21.29\00:24:22.62
and see if we've explained it,
00:24:22.66\00:24:23.99
but let's put the graphic up.
00:24:24.03\00:24:25.36
And then you
explain what that means.
00:24:25.39\00:24:26.73
And of course, that $150
00:24:26.76\00:24:28.10
could be any
figure could be $10.
00:24:28.13\00:24:29.46
Yes.
00:24:29.50\00:24:30.83
But it'll be tripled so...
00:24:30.87\00:24:32.20
Yeah, so we'll just
use $150 as the figure.
00:24:32.23\00:24:34.27
Okay.
00:24:34.30\00:24:35.64
So you the donor
makes $150 donation to 3ABN.
00:24:35.67\00:24:42.04
3ABN will then in turn,
00:24:42.08\00:24:45.01
take 20 CDs or DVDs
and send them to the school
00:24:45.05\00:24:51.95
which will be a value of $300.
00:24:51.99\00:24:55.42
So right
there... At $15 they'll...
00:24:55.46\00:24:58.13
What they sell
for us $15 apiece.
00:24:58.16\00:24:59.53
Fifteen dollars apiece.
00:24:59.56\00:25:00.90
So that's gonna turn into $300
00:25:00.93\00:25:03.70
which that means your
donation has already doubled.
00:25:03.77\00:25:07.87
Then those 20 CDs or
DVDs when the children
00:25:07.90\00:25:12.34
take them and sell them,
00:25:12.37\00:25:14.34
they're going to
sell them and the value
00:25:14.38\00:25:17.18
of that sale is gonna be $450.
00:25:17.25\00:25:20.82
So now you've
tripled your donation.
00:25:20.85\00:25:22.98
Okay.
00:25:23.02\00:25:24.35
So this is really
a great way for you
00:25:24.39\00:25:27.46
the donor to see how
your money is being used
00:25:27.49\00:25:30.43
and growing and use
for the cause of God.
00:25:30.46\00:25:32.69
So what really
happens, $150 donation,
00:25:32.73\00:25:36.70
$300 of it then 3ABN gives $300
00:25:36.77\00:25:41.60
at what we call a
wholesale cost. Right.
00:25:41.64\00:25:44.21
So that wholesale cost
'cause 3ABN has the production,
00:25:44.24\00:25:48.01
we have the
shipping, we have the printing,
00:25:48.04\00:25:50.65
all of that we take
out a portion out of that,
00:25:50.68\00:25:53.72
but the majority of it
00:25:53.75\00:25:56.55
then goes to the
school and they keep 100%
00:25:56.58\00:25:59.35
yet they didn't
put a penny in it.
00:25:59.39\00:26:00.76
So early on, I
said, my dad always said,
00:26:00.79\00:26:03.29
you don't get
anything for nothing.
00:26:03.32\00:26:05.13
But in this case
the schools will.
00:26:05.16\00:26:07.33
But they're doing it because
00:26:07.40\00:26:08.73
you at home care
enough to make a donation.
00:26:08.76\00:26:11.13
So you make the 3ABN
just put Adventist education
00:26:11.17\00:26:13.84
or Christian
education, whatever you want.
00:26:13.87\00:26:16.71
And in a bit here, we should
put up maybe an address role
00:26:16.74\00:26:21.01
or something for those folk,
00:26:21.04\00:26:23.24
and because we want
everybody to be able to do it.
00:26:23.28\00:26:25.71
So now for the
teachers, from the schools,
00:26:25.75\00:26:29.28
the principals what have you,
00:26:29.32\00:26:30.79
we'll put up an
address, you can contact 3ABN
00:26:30.82\00:26:33.89
and say how many, if you
have, for instance, 50 students,
00:26:33.96\00:26:37.13
maybe you could
get as many as 250.
00:26:37.16\00:26:39.79
And if you sold 250,
those at $15, you do the math,
00:26:39.83\00:26:43.80
you've raised a lot of money.
00:26:43.87\00:26:45.33
What you don't sell,
00:26:45.37\00:26:46.74
then we appreciate
you sending them back
00:26:46.77\00:26:48.57
so we could send
to some other school.
00:26:48.60\00:26:50.61
So we're gonna trust you as
00:26:50.64\00:26:51.97
the teacher if
we didn't trust you,
00:26:52.01\00:26:53.78
we wouldn't be
doing Adventist education
00:26:53.81\00:26:56.14
and doing this project
for you because we believe
00:26:56.18\00:26:59.81
in Christian
education here at 3ABN.
00:26:59.85\00:27:02.45
Praise the Lord.
00:27:02.48\00:27:03.82
You know, I just
wanna give just a quick,
00:27:03.89\00:27:05.22
just quick shout out appeal
to those who are watching,
00:27:05.25\00:27:07.39
you know, this
could mean the difference
00:27:07.46\00:27:08.79
in someone
attending or not attending
00:27:08.82\00:27:10.83
Christian school,
00:27:10.86\00:27:12.19
I mean because
these things, of course,
00:27:12.23\00:27:13.60
these funds will
be used for supplies
00:27:13.63\00:27:15.43
or whatever it is
that the school needs.
00:27:15.46\00:27:17.10
But I know that previous schools
00:27:17.17\00:27:18.93
that my wife has attended,
00:27:18.97\00:27:20.57
you know, there
are kids that want
00:27:20.64\00:27:22.07
parents that want
to send their kids
00:27:22.10\00:27:23.44
to Christian school,
00:27:23.51\00:27:24.84
but, of course, it costs
and they can't afford it,
00:27:24.87\00:27:26.98
but someone like
you making a donation,
00:27:27.01\00:27:29.58
and of course, this going on
00:27:29.61\00:27:30.95
to the school
and providing funds.
00:27:30.98\00:27:32.48
This could mean
the difference of a kid
00:27:32.51\00:27:34.02
being able to
attend Christian school
00:27:34.05\00:27:36.05
which would change their life
00:27:36.08\00:27:37.69
and so I just, I
had to make an appeal,
00:27:37.72\00:27:40.59
please make a donation,
00:27:40.66\00:27:42.12
please send in
your funds because
00:27:42.16\00:27:43.93
you are going to potentially
transform someone's life
00:27:43.96\00:27:47.30
through Christian
education, absolutely.
00:27:47.33\00:27:49.03
And we have two of
the children's projects,
00:27:49.06\00:27:53.03
Love Rules, and then
It's A Beautiful World.
00:27:53.07\00:27:55.37
There's a DVD and a
CD for both of these.
00:27:55.40\00:27:58.07
So there's a lot of great...
00:27:58.11\00:28:00.88
You'll have some
options of which one's
00:28:00.91\00:28:03.11
each school can choose
from that or two others.
00:28:03.14\00:28:05.41
Let's see other two you have.
00:28:05.45\00:28:06.95
Okay, so the one we
have here, of course,
00:28:07.02\00:28:08.72
is the newest 3ABN project
00:28:08.75\00:28:10.99
which is the Give
Him Glory project,
00:28:11.02\00:28:12.99
which is based on the
three angels' messages
00:28:13.02\00:28:14.92
found in Revelation Chapter 14.
00:28:14.96\00:28:17.43
And I had a
wonderful opportunity
00:28:17.46\00:28:18.89
of being a part of this project.
00:28:18.93\00:28:20.30
My first real studio
experience was working
00:28:20.33\00:28:24.27
on this
particular project with 3ABN
00:28:24.30\00:28:25.87
and it's been such a blessing,
00:28:25.90\00:28:27.54
the three angels'
messages put to song
00:28:27.57\00:28:30.14
and so could you
imagine a child or whoever it is
00:28:30.21\00:28:32.74
going out and
selling this to someone
00:28:32.77\00:28:35.11
who may have never heard
the three angels' messages.
00:28:35.14\00:28:37.71
So it can be an
ultimate blessing.
00:28:37.75\00:28:39.51
So you'll have this for
sure as an option to choose
00:28:39.55\00:28:43.25
to sell to those
people to raise funds.
00:28:43.28\00:28:46.22
And then the fourth piece
of product is It Was Love,
00:28:46.25\00:28:49.42
which is a kind
of a Combination.
00:28:49.46\00:28:51.26
Combination. Yeah.
00:28:51.29\00:28:52.63
Best of all of the
projects that 3ABN has put out.
00:28:52.66\00:28:55.96
Yeah.
00:28:56.00\00:28:57.37
So we have four
very high quality pieces.
00:28:57.40\00:29:01.57
This is not just scraps. Right.
00:29:01.60\00:29:04.21
This is something again that
00:29:04.24\00:29:05.87
the youth can be
very proud of to sell.
00:29:05.91\00:29:07.88
Yeah. So...
00:29:07.91\00:29:09.24
You get a lot of money. Yeah.
00:29:09.28\00:29:11.08
And to these
projects for sure, but again,
00:29:11.11\00:29:14.32
we wanna get the
Christian education.
00:29:14.35\00:29:17.12
So we want those of you
we can only give us away
00:29:17.19\00:29:20.56
as many as the
money that comes in.
00:29:20.59\00:29:22.89
So two things we're
asking some of you to donate,
00:29:22.92\00:29:25.79
whether it's $10, $100, or 1000,
00:29:25.83\00:29:28.53
then others for the schools,
the principals of the schools,
00:29:28.56\00:29:31.27
to contact 3ABN.
00:29:31.30\00:29:33.07
Tell us how many
of these CDs you want,
00:29:33.10\00:29:35.60
and you'll be able
to, you'll try to sell
00:29:35.64\00:29:37.64
and those you
don't, you'll send back
00:29:37.67\00:29:39.51
so it's actually the
schools are going to end up
00:29:39.54\00:29:42.94
those of you who donate,
your money's gonna be tripled.
00:29:42.98\00:29:46.38
You give $100 it's
gonna end up being $300
00:29:46.41\00:29:49.52
in the school system.
00:29:49.55\00:29:51.32
And the donation is
still tax deductible.
00:29:51.35\00:29:53.05
It is. Absolutely.
00:29:53.09\00:29:54.52
So it's a win-win-win.
00:29:54.56\00:29:55.89
It's a win-win. It is.
00:29:55.92\00:29:57.26
It's a triple
win. Praise the Lord.
00:29:57.33\00:29:58.66
Yeah, that's true.
00:29:58.69\00:30:00.03
Well, let's hear another song.
00:30:00.06\00:30:01.40
In fact, from the
Give Him Glory project.
00:30:01.43\00:30:03.03
Absolutely.
00:30:03.06\00:30:04.40
This is more than wonderful,
00:30:04.43\00:30:05.77
which I think
it's a little familiar.
00:30:05.80\00:30:07.17
I think so.
00:30:07.24\00:30:08.57
Me and Miss Yvonne,
we're the one singing this,
00:30:08.60\00:30:10.21
but it's a blessing more
than wonderful right now.
00:30:10.24\00:30:12.57
Amen. Praise the
Lord. It is so powerful.
00:36:36.93\00:36:39.49
It's a beautiful song.
00:36:39.53\00:36:40.90
I never get tired
of Hearing that medley.
00:36:40.93\00:36:42.26
What a wonderful
worship Experience
00:36:42.30\00:36:43.63
really it's been.
00:36:43.67\00:36:45.00
Amen.
00:36:45.03\00:36:46.37
And that's song the
Give Him Glory CD, DVD.
00:36:46.40\00:36:49.00
That is one of the four
projects that we are featuring
00:36:49.04\00:36:52.37
in this Adventist
Fundraiser Education.
00:36:52.41\00:36:56.51
Absolutely.
00:36:56.54\00:36:57.88
I'm just excited about I
saw the results last time,
00:36:57.91\00:37:00.85
and I don't, I forget exactly,
00:37:00.92\00:37:02.62
I'd have to look
but it seemed like
00:37:02.65\00:37:04.19
a few hundred thousand dollars.
00:37:04.22\00:37:05.55
So I'm hoping at least
that we're hoping we can raise
00:37:05.59\00:37:08.09
a million dollars
for Adventist education.
00:37:08.12\00:37:10.96
So please pray and
ask the Holy Spirit
00:37:10.99\00:37:12.86
what he would have
you to do in support
00:37:12.89\00:37:15.93
of Adventist education.
00:37:15.96\00:37:17.30
When you look at it, I
mean, I look at schools,
00:37:17.37\00:37:20.84
and I'm like, boy, they're just
not the way they used to be.
00:37:20.87\00:37:23.51
We can be one of
those to criticize them
00:37:23.54\00:37:25.84
to do whatever.
00:37:25.87\00:37:27.21
But on the other hand,
00:37:27.28\00:37:28.61
when you look to public schools,
00:37:28.64\00:37:29.98
and see what has been taught,
00:37:30.01\00:37:31.35
and how ungodly, they
are our schools still,
00:37:31.38\00:37:34.75
you know, not all
the students are perfect,
00:37:34.78\00:37:36.92
but we're still
giving the biblical message,
00:37:36.99\00:37:39.09
still putting the Word of
God in to our young people,
00:37:39.12\00:37:42.36
you know, as we
mentioned, already,
00:37:42.39\00:37:44.33
put it in when they're young
00:37:44.36\00:37:45.86
and when they're old
they'll not depart from it.
00:37:45.89\00:37:47.66
So maybe they leave for a while,
00:37:47.70\00:37:49.03
but when the going gets tough,
00:37:49.06\00:37:50.67
they get back to the Word of God
00:37:50.70\00:37:52.13
because they've been grounded.
00:37:52.17\00:37:53.64
Yeah. So it's so important.
00:37:53.67\00:37:55.20
I only got to go one year
to academy in Wisconsin Academy
00:37:55.24\00:38:00.88
went with my cousin
Dennis there for a year.
00:38:00.91\00:38:03.24
And it's, you know, it
was an incredible adventure.
00:38:03.28\00:38:06.82
My folks was poor,
my father was disabled.
00:38:06.85\00:38:08.92
And so we couldn't
really afford it at the time.
00:38:08.95\00:38:11.62
I didn't think we could.
00:38:11.65\00:38:13.46
But the Lord still
blessed and I made it through.
00:38:13.49\00:38:15.92
But when I have a chance
00:38:15.96\00:38:17.36
that my kids have put
them through the academy,
00:38:17.43\00:38:19.93
and through
Trinity through college,
00:38:20.00\00:38:22.63
and so I believe in
it, and I know you do too.
00:38:22.66\00:38:25.87
And so we're
asking you to support.
00:38:25.90\00:38:29.14
So remember, whatever you give,
00:38:29.17\00:38:31.11
your money's gonna be
tripled for the school.
00:38:31.14\00:38:34.08
So you give $10 then it's $20,
00:38:34.11\00:38:37.48
what happens is 3ABN would give,
00:38:37.55\00:38:39.55
let say this do
a little more $30
00:38:39.58\00:38:41.48
you gave $30.
00:38:41.52\00:38:43.32
And so that'd be triple $30,
00:38:43.39\00:38:45.25
then $60 we would
give to the school
00:38:45.29\00:38:47.76
which then they
would sell worth $90.
00:38:47.79\00:38:50.16
So I know that's confusing.
Fifty dollars' worth of product.
00:38:50.23\00:38:52.43
Yes. So it ends
up with the school.
00:38:52.46\00:38:54.36
So anyway, whatever you give,
00:38:54.40\00:38:56.60
we're trying to make
this simple as we can.
00:38:56.67\00:38:58.27
Your money will be tripled
00:38:58.30\00:38:59.87
and the school will
get 100% of that amount.
00:38:59.90\00:39:03.27
So as we showed on
the graph a while ago,
00:39:03.30\00:39:05.41
$150, you give $150.
00:39:05.44\00:39:08.74
There it is, again,
it's $300 worth of product
00:39:08.78\00:39:11.78
because we're gonna
give 20 CDs to the schools,
00:39:11.81\00:39:17.59
they will sell
these 20 for 15 apiece,
00:39:17.62\00:39:19.79
I think that's $450.
00:39:19.82\00:39:22.46
So that 100%
stays with the school
00:39:22.49\00:39:26.53
for whatever they
need that money for.
00:39:26.56\00:39:28.60
Again, that's a much
better than selling candy,
00:39:28.63\00:39:31.73
selling meals,
00:39:31.77\00:39:33.13
doing whatever you can do
00:39:33.17\00:39:34.84
because it's
ministry for the young people.
00:39:34.87\00:39:37.41
And who knows somebody
00:39:37.44\00:39:39.64
that listens to
more than wonderful
00:39:39.67\00:39:42.24
later on maybe not
even a Christian and say,
00:39:42.28\00:39:44.25
"Well, I'll buy it."
00:39:44.28\00:39:45.61
These kids are here
00:39:45.65\00:39:46.98
and their
neighbors will buy this,
00:39:47.02\00:39:48.75
they turns that on
sometime and listens and says,
00:39:48.78\00:39:51.39
"You know what,
I want that Jesus,
00:39:51.42\00:39:53.59
who's more than
wonderful in my life."
00:39:53.66\00:39:55.59
You know, it's amazing because
00:39:55.62\00:39:57.03
I don't think
many people realize
00:39:57.06\00:39:58.39
just how big of an
impact that a project like this
00:39:58.43\00:40:02.03
can really make,
00:40:02.06\00:40:03.77
not only do we
have an opportunity
00:40:03.80\00:40:05.40
to put such incredible material
into people's hands, I mean,
00:40:05.43\00:40:08.44
someone's gonna
receive these CDs,
00:40:08.47\00:40:09.87
whether it's the
children's projects,
00:40:09.90\00:40:11.81
whether it's the Give Him Glory,
00:40:11.84\00:40:13.38
the other projects,
00:40:13.41\00:40:14.74
and they're going to be able
to hear the gospel and music.
00:40:14.78\00:40:16.78
And so what
better opportunity than
00:40:16.85\00:40:18.71
and giving support to
this particular program,
00:40:18.75\00:40:21.42
you're sharing the
gospel with people in music.
00:40:21.45\00:40:24.09
And not only that, I mean,
00:40:24.12\00:40:25.45
think of the lives
you're gonna impact.
00:40:25.49\00:40:27.46
There's probably a
kid right now somewhere,
00:40:27.49\00:40:29.59
a parent that wants to see
00:40:29.62\00:40:30.96
their kid go to Christian school
00:40:30.99\00:40:32.56
because they want them
00:40:32.59\00:40:33.93
out of this
public school system.
00:40:34.00\00:40:35.73
They want that negative
influence out of their life,
00:40:35.76\00:40:37.47
they want them to be raised
in a Christian environment,
00:40:37.50\00:40:39.87
learning Christian values,
gaining a Christian character,
00:40:39.90\00:40:42.77
and by your donation
00:40:42.80\00:40:44.41
by you giving and
supporting to this program.
00:40:44.44\00:40:47.48
That kid is not only gonna
receive but think of the impact
00:40:47.51\00:40:50.55
that that kid is potentially
gonna have on their family,
00:40:50.58\00:40:53.18
the parents, I've heard
stories all the time, Danny,
00:40:53.21\00:40:55.68
of children who
go to these schools
00:40:55.72\00:40:57.75
and their parents are
converted to the faith
00:40:57.79\00:41:00.96
because of the change
they're seeing in their kids
00:41:00.99\00:41:03.73
and the message that they hear
00:41:03.76\00:41:05.09
through this amazing Adventist
Christian school system.
00:41:05.13\00:41:07.60
And so I just want to
encourage you that as we're,
00:41:07.63\00:41:10.57
as we're talking about this,
00:41:10.60\00:41:11.93
I pray that the Holy Spirit
is impressing you to donate
00:41:11.97\00:41:15.90
and give to this program
00:41:15.94\00:41:17.31
because the lives
that you're gonna impact
00:41:17.34\00:41:19.37
you can never possibly
know, one of these days
00:41:19.41\00:41:21.78
you'll be in the kingdom of God.
00:41:21.81\00:41:23.14
And perhaps
Jesus Himself will say,
00:41:23.18\00:41:24.78
"Because you donated
00:41:24.81\00:41:26.15
look at all of
these multitudes of people
00:41:26.18\00:41:28.48
that are in the
kingdom because of the seed
00:41:28.52\00:41:29.85
that you sow because
of the wonderful gift
00:41:29.88\00:41:33.25
that you gave to provide
00:41:33.29\00:41:34.92
a wonderful
Christian education for a kid.
00:41:34.96\00:41:37.89
And it's just. It's amazing.
00:41:37.93\00:41:39.26
I praise the Lord for this.
00:41:39.29\00:41:40.63
That's the beauty of it because
00:41:40.70\00:41:42.03
they actually the
school can use the money
00:41:42.06\00:41:43.60
for whatever they want.
00:41:43.67\00:41:45.00
Right. Absolutely.
00:41:45.03\00:41:46.37
Whether it's a trip or
whether it's a student fund.
00:41:46.40\00:41:47.74
Right.
00:41:47.77\00:41:49.10
Maybe there's
schools that says, you know,
00:41:49.14\00:41:50.47
let's have what
everything we sell
00:41:50.51\00:41:52.04
we're putting the
money worthy student.
00:41:52.07\00:41:53.41
Now we see community student
someone that wants to come here
00:41:53.48\00:41:56.85
can't afford it.
00:41:56.88\00:41:58.21
This money goes to
the worthy student.
00:41:58.25\00:41:59.58
So you're not limited
00:41:59.61\00:42:00.95
as to what you
want to do with it.
00:42:00.98\00:42:02.55
If you wanna go on a
class trip, you can do it.
00:42:02.58\00:42:04.32
That's right.
00:42:04.35\00:42:05.69
You wanna do worthy
student whatever you want,
00:42:05.72\00:42:07.06
it's yours 100%
00:42:07.09\00:42:09.29
that donation that
you give is tripled
00:42:09.32\00:42:11.39
however much that is.
00:42:11.43\00:42:12.76
Amen. Praise the Lord.
00:42:12.79\00:42:14.13
Absolutely. That was great.
00:42:14.20\00:42:15.53
So why don't we just
go ahead and put up a way
00:42:15.56\00:42:17.80
that you can
contact 3ABN right now.
00:42:17.83\00:42:20.94
We want you to be
able to contact us,
00:42:20.97\00:42:22.60
be able to donate
and there's multiple ways
00:42:22.64\00:42:24.24
that you can do so.
00:42:24.31\00:42:25.64
You can call directly into 3ABN
00:42:25.67\00:42:28.01
or you can go
directly to the website
00:42:28.04\00:42:29.88
and, of course,
there will be a button
00:42:29.91\00:42:31.35
you can click
on the main website
00:42:31.38\00:42:32.75
there that will take
you directly to a website
00:42:32.78\00:42:35.55
in which you can make a donation
00:42:35.58\00:42:37.39
and be able to
select the options
00:42:37.42\00:42:39.85
that you want to
send to these schools.
00:42:39.89\00:42:42.79
And what is that number, Danny?
00:42:42.82\00:42:45.03
Okay, I'm checking.
00:42:48.76\00:42:50.10
That's all right.
00:42:50.17\00:42:51.50
So we're looking for two things,
00:42:53.87\00:42:55.27
some folk are willing to donate
00:42:55.30\00:42:57.41
and others if you're the teacher
00:42:57.44\00:42:58.97
or they're principal or
the pastor of the church,
00:42:59.01\00:43:01.88
and you want to get
involved and you contact 3ABN,
00:43:01.91\00:43:04.91
let us know how many
of these that you need,
00:43:04.95\00:43:06.92
we'll be happy
to ship them to you.
00:43:06.95\00:43:08.28
Amen.
00:43:08.32\00:43:09.65
Praise the Lord,
that's such a blessing.
00:43:09.68\00:43:11.45
Yeah, I just wanna make sure
00:43:11.49\00:43:13.25
I reiterate what
you said while ago
00:43:13.29\00:43:15.39
if you are tired of
the way things are going,
00:43:15.42\00:43:19.66
you can be a
part of the solution,
00:43:19.69\00:43:21.30
you know, as a donator.
00:43:21.33\00:43:23.03
You can give to see
wonderful things happen.
00:43:23.06\00:43:27.90
And it's sometimes we
just like to point fingers
00:43:27.94\00:43:32.11
and not do something about it.
00:43:32.14\00:43:34.91
So this is a
wonderful opportunity
00:43:34.94\00:43:36.28
to get involved.
00:43:36.31\00:43:37.65
But you don't have to
necessarily get involved
00:43:37.68\00:43:39.38
other than providing
the funds you donate,
00:43:39.41\00:43:42.52
and then we'll take
care of all of the work,
00:43:42.55\00:43:45.22
and then get to the
school and the school
00:43:45.25\00:43:47.16
I think is a wonderful
opportunity for the kids
00:43:47.19\00:43:49.52
as you also mentioned
about giving them some practice
00:43:49.56\00:43:53.63
in mission work.
00:43:53.70\00:43:55.66
It's a beautiful,
this is a wonderful,
00:43:55.70\00:43:57.70
this is like got
so many facets to it,
00:43:57.73\00:44:00.54
I really do love this program.
00:44:00.57\00:44:02.47
It was a Lord idea, He sent it.
00:44:02.50\00:44:04.97
Amen. Praise the Lord.
00:44:05.01\00:44:06.44
I've had the
wonderful opportunity
00:44:06.47\00:44:08.01
of working
firsthand as a volunteer,
00:44:08.04\00:44:10.25
in Adventist
education at the schools
00:44:10.28\00:44:12.35
that my wife has worked at,
00:44:12.38\00:44:13.72
and to see firsthand the impact
00:44:13.75\00:44:16.72
that it has on
these children's lives.
00:44:16.79\00:44:18.89
I mean, they're
hearing the Gospel of Jesus,
00:44:18.92\00:44:20.96
that they have a
Bible curriculum.
00:44:20.99\00:44:22.52
They're learning
about Jesus and salvation
00:44:22.56\00:44:25.36
and the work that
Christ is doing for them.
00:44:25.39\00:44:27.43
And it's such a powerful thing.
00:44:27.50\00:44:29.76
I look at that.
00:44:29.80\00:44:31.13
And I think to myself,
00:44:31.17\00:44:32.50
"Man, I wish I
had that as a kid."
00:44:32.53\00:44:33.87
Because the things that
I saw in school growing up
00:44:33.94\00:44:36.17
and was exposed to,
00:44:36.20\00:44:37.54
it's like, as I
got older, I'm like,
00:44:37.61\00:44:38.94
"Man, I wish I had that."
00:44:38.97\00:44:40.31
And I struggled,
00:44:40.34\00:44:41.68
but you have an
opportunity to help,
00:44:41.71\00:44:43.04
you have an opportunity to give,
00:44:43.08\00:44:46.08
to share what the
Lord has blessed you with
00:44:46.11\00:44:49.38
and hopes of
blessing someone else.
00:44:49.42\00:44:51.12
And so it's such a blessing,
00:44:51.15\00:44:52.72
such an
opportunity to see that we have
00:44:52.75\00:44:54.99
and for free that's
schools don't have anything,
00:44:55.02\00:44:57.66
they don't have to
put a dime into it.
00:44:57.69\00:45:00.50
You just receive it
00:45:00.53\00:45:01.86
and you put it out there.
00:45:01.90\00:45:03.47
Let's put up the website. Yeah.
00:45:03.50\00:45:04.83
Absolutely.
00:45:04.87\00:45:06.20
So you can find
out how to get it.
00:45:06.23\00:45:07.57
All right, let's put
up the website right now.
