00:00:01.93\00:00:07.97
Mending broken people
00:00:08.00\00:00:12.94
I want to spend my life
00:00:12.97\00:00:19.21
Removing pain
00:00:19.25\00:00:24.09
Lord, let my words
00:00:24.12\00:00:30.36
Heal a heart that hurts
00:00:30.43\00:00:34.96
I want to spend my life
00:00:35.00\00:00:40.67
Mending broken people
00:00:40.74\00:00:46.17
I want to spend my life

Hello, and welcome to
another 3ABN Today program.
00:01:09.03\00:01:11.63
We are so glad that
you have joined us today.
00:01:11.67\00:01:14.04
You are part of our family.
00:01:14.07\00:01:15.40
So wherever you're joining
us, we thank you so very much.
00:01:15.44\00:01:18.01
We wanna say thank
you for your prayers
00:01:18.04\00:01:20.28
and financial support
for the ministry of 3ABN
00:01:20.31\00:01:22.64
because we continue to spread
the gospel around the world.
00:01:22.68\00:01:26.25
I don't know how
your day is going,
00:01:26.28\00:01:28.02
but it's going
well here at 3ABN.
00:01:28.05\00:01:29.55
We continue to keep
busy, but the Lord is good.
00:01:29.58\00:01:31.62
Amen.
00:01:31.65\00:01:32.99
We know that He
is on the throne.
00:01:33.02\00:01:34.36
And we know that
things on this earth.
00:01:34.39\00:01:36.26
They're all temporary.
00:01:36.29\00:01:37.66
We look forward to a better land
00:01:37.69\00:01:39.03
and that is heaven.
00:01:39.06\00:01:40.40
So I know that God
wants us to be faithful
00:01:40.43\00:01:41.96
in whatever
we've been given to do.
00:01:42.00\00:01:43.87
And I know it's
been the commission
00:01:43.90\00:01:46.20
for 3ABN given by
God to spread this gospel
00:01:46.23\00:01:49.74
around the world
and today we're going
00:01:49.77\00:01:52.31
to a really neat
country, aren't we?
00:01:52.34\00:01:53.88
We are. We're going to Sweden...
00:01:53.91\00:01:55.31
All right,
looking forward to that.
00:01:55.34\00:01:57.25
Talking... I
love the Today program
00:01:57.28\00:01:59.21
because we get to
feature ministries
00:01:59.25\00:02:00.72
that are doing things in
their corner of the world
00:02:00.75\00:02:03.69
and around the world.
00:02:03.72\00:02:05.92
And the ministry
today is LifeStyleTV
00:02:05.95\00:02:08.62
which we have a
special affinity for
00:02:08.66\00:02:11.26
because Claus Nybo, the
President of LifeStyleTV
00:02:11.29\00:02:14.70
and his lovely wife Theresa
00:02:14.73\00:02:17.37
work that ministry and wording,
we could say longtime friends?
00:02:17.40\00:02:21.07
Yeah, I don't like old friends
00:02:21.10\00:02:22.44
because it makes me
feel ancient or something
00:02:22.47\00:02:23.94
so, yeah, longtime friends
I don't know how many years,
00:02:24.01\00:02:26.07
it's probably over 20
years I suppose by now.
00:02:26.11\00:02:28.84
You know, it's neat, Greg,
'cause you were just welcoming
00:02:28.88\00:02:31.38
the viewers and
this aspect of family.
00:02:31.41\00:02:34.48
We feel like we're
coming home to family
00:02:34.52\00:02:36.12
'cause when we
worked here 16 years ago,
00:02:36.15\00:02:38.69
you know, this is
like coming home to family
00:02:38.72\00:02:40.66
and to meeting old friends
and to sharing with people
00:02:40.69\00:02:42.96
and so we're so
happy that we can begin.
00:02:42.99\00:02:45.13
So maybe share briefly with
us, then we'll go to some music
00:02:45.16\00:02:47.33
and stuff, the
dream for LifeStyleTV.
00:02:47.40\00:02:49.60
What is LifeStyleTV?
00:02:49.63\00:02:50.97
'Cause someone just joining
in, we're given an update
00:02:51.00\00:02:53.13
because you've been here before,
00:02:53.17\00:02:54.50
shared about LifeStyleTV,
just give us something concise?
00:02:54.54\00:02:57.41
I think just in short, really,
00:02:57.44\00:02:59.44
we worked here at
3ABN for 16 years ago
00:02:59.47\00:03:02.21
and as we worked
here and went around
00:03:02.24\00:03:04.55
and saw the impact
of 3ABN in churches,
00:03:04.58\00:03:08.58
and people finding Christ,
00:03:08.62\00:03:10.22
finding meaning,
finding purpose in life,
00:03:10.29\00:03:12.29
that inspired us to say,
00:03:12.32\00:03:14.16
what can we do to
start something similar
00:03:14.19\00:03:17.23
and this started the
vision of going back to Europe
00:03:17.26\00:03:19.83
and starting a
satellite network,
00:03:19.86\00:03:21.36
a TV station,
00:03:21.40\00:03:22.76
that could do the
same to reach people.
00:03:22.80\00:03:24.47
And today we're
seeing the results.
00:03:24.50\00:03:26.13
Why Sweden?
00:03:26.17\00:03:27.64
Sweden, we come
from Scandinavia.
00:03:27.67\00:03:30.01
So home is, I'm Danish,
00:03:30.04\00:03:31.84
but we've lived in
Sweden for many years.
00:03:31.87\00:03:33.71
And so we're reaching out
to the Scandinavian countries,
00:03:33.78\00:03:36.78
Sweden, Norway,
Denmark that's our focus area.
00:03:36.85\00:03:40.22
And we have some exciting things
00:03:40.25\00:03:41.58
to share today too
because a couple of years ago,
00:03:41.62\00:03:43.42
what was taking place,
00:03:43.49\00:03:44.82
and then things have
changed a little bit since then?
00:03:44.85\00:03:46.96
When we were here last,
we had just broken ground
00:03:46.99\00:03:50.53
a couple of weeks
earlier, for new studio,
00:03:50.56\00:03:52.99
which was way, way overdue.
00:03:53.03\00:03:55.46
And the Lord had
different plans than we had.
00:03:55.50\00:03:58.20
We're gonna share
something about that.
00:03:58.23\00:03:59.57
All right, we're
gonna find out about that.
00:03:59.60\00:04:00.94
And let's talk to
Theresa for just a moment
00:04:00.97\00:04:02.74
'cause, Theresa, are
you originally from Europe?
00:04:02.77\00:04:05.17
No, I'm not.
00:04:05.21\00:04:06.54
I'm originally from the US,
00:04:06.57\00:04:08.54
but I have
actually lived in Sweden
00:04:08.58\00:04:10.55
now for the last,
going on 24 years.
00:04:10.58\00:04:13.82
Wow!
00:04:13.85\00:04:15.18
So it's almost half my
life. It's beautiful over there.
00:04:15.22\00:04:18.99
Jill and I had the
privilege of going over
00:04:19.02\00:04:20.66
and visiting Sweden,
00:04:20.69\00:04:22.16
but it's
beautiful country there.
00:04:22.19\00:04:23.83
Yeah, for sure.
00:04:23.86\00:04:25.19
We're looking forward
to getting some updates.
00:04:25.23\00:04:26.56
We believe in LifeStyleTV.
00:04:26.59\00:04:27.93
We believe in the ministry,
00:04:27.96\00:04:29.30
and we're delighted
to partner together.
00:04:29.33\00:04:32.03
Thank you. We are too.
00:04:32.07\00:04:33.44
And helping to
spread the gospel.
00:04:33.47\00:04:34.80
Amen.
00:04:34.84\00:04:36.17
Let's read a scripture here.
00:04:36.20\00:04:37.54
I asked the Nybo's for scripture
00:04:37.57\00:04:39.31
that they specifically
like in their ministry,
00:04:39.34\00:04:41.04
and then you can tell
us why you picked this one.
00:04:41.08\00:04:43.01
This is Ephesians 3
and if you watch 3ABN
00:04:43.04\00:04:45.81
for any length of time,
00:04:45.85\00:04:47.22
you would know
the scripture too.
00:04:47.25\00:04:48.58
Ephesians 3:20
'cause our founder,
00:04:48.62\00:04:51.02
Danny Shelton, quotes
this one a great deal.
00:04:51.05\00:04:53.89
"Now to Him who is
able to do exceedingly
00:04:53.96\00:04:56.96
abundantly above all
that we ask or think,
00:04:57.03\00:05:01.06
according to the
power that works in us."
00:05:01.10\00:05:03.37
And then verse 21,
00:05:03.40\00:05:04.93
"To Him be glory in
the church by Christ Jesus
00:05:04.97\00:05:07.74
to all
generations, forever and ever."
00:05:07.77\00:05:10.91
Amen.
00:05:10.94\00:05:12.27
Why did you pick
that specific scripture?
00:05:12.31\00:05:14.08
Well, you know,
I think that the,
00:05:14.11\00:05:16.14
that text, it kind of,
00:05:16.18\00:05:19.15
in a nutshell
tells about LifeStyleTV,
00:05:19.18\00:05:21.28
it's all about
what God has done.
00:05:21.32\00:05:23.59
So whatever we may share
today, whatever we may tell
00:05:23.62\00:05:26.52
of different
things that have happened.
00:05:26.55\00:05:27.89
It just shows the power of
God that He is alive and well
00:05:27.92\00:05:31.03
and He is working,
00:05:31.06\00:05:32.39
and He does
abundantly above and beyond
00:05:32.43\00:05:34.76
what we could even imagine.
00:05:34.80\00:05:36.13
Amen. Amen.
00:05:36.16\00:05:38.37
Should we go to some music now
00:05:38.40\00:05:39.73
before we get into
this exciting program?
00:05:39.77\00:05:41.40
'Cause I wanna
hear what's happening.
00:05:41.44\00:05:42.77
Oh, I know, me too.
00:05:42.80\00:05:44.14
Yeah, they kind of left
us hanging just a little bit.
00:05:44.21\00:05:46.37
So we have some beautiful music
today by Scott Michael Bennett.
00:05:46.41\00:05:49.54
And the title of the
song is "Sweet Jesus."
00:05:49.58\00:05:52.28
Sweet Jesus, my Savior
00:06:11.07\00:06:15.60
You are my faithful friend
00:06:15.64\00:06:19.97
You made me
00:06:20.01\00:06:21.81
And You know me
00:06:21.84\00:06:23.95
And You see my every sin
00:06:23.98\00:06:28.38
And my soul is amazed
00:06:28.42\00:06:30.52
By this gift of Your grace
00:06:30.59\00:06:33.02
And these arms that take me in
00:06:33.05\00:06:37.16
Sweet Jesus, my Savior
00:06:37.23\00:06:41.60
You are my faithful friend
00:06:41.63\00:06:46.53
Sweet Jesus, my shelter
00:06:52.31\00:06:56.75
You are my faithful friend
00:06:56.78\00:07:00.92
The refuge that I run to
00:07:00.95\00:07:04.82
When my world comes closing in
00:07:04.85\00:07:09.06
Why should I be afraid
00:07:09.09\00:07:11.33
When I know I am saved
00:07:11.36\00:07:13.63
By these arms that take me in
00:07:13.70\00:07:17.73
Sweet Jesus, my shelter
00:07:17.77\00:07:22.27
You are my faithful friend
00:07:22.30\00:07:27.11
Sweet Jesus, my shepherd
00:07:32.78\00:07:37.29
You are my faithful friend
00:07:37.32\00:07:41.52
You hold me
00:07:41.56\00:07:43.36
And You lead me
00:07:43.43\00:07:45.83
I'll follow till the end
00:07:45.86\00:07:49.70
And once more I will say
00:07:49.73\00:07:52.07
On that beautiful day
00:07:52.10\00:07:54.27
When Your arms take me in
00:07:54.30\00:08:00.71
Sweet Jesus, my shepherd
00:08:00.78\00:08:05.01
You are my faithful friend
00:08:05.05\00:08:11.09
Sweet Jesus, my Savior
00:08:11.12\00:08:16.06
You are my faithful friend
00:08:16.09\00:08:23.06
Thank you so much,
Scott Michael Bennett.
00:08:40.62\00:08:42.48
What a beautiful song.
00:08:42.52\00:08:43.89
I'm so grateful for
the Lord Jesus Christ.
00:08:43.92\00:08:46.59
Without Him, the ministry
of 3ABN would not exist.
00:08:46.62\00:08:49.49
And without Him, the ministry
of LifeStyleTV would not exist.
00:08:49.52\00:08:53.13
If you're just joining
us, we're with Claus Nybo,
00:08:53.16\00:08:55.96
the President of LifeStyleTV
00:08:56.00\00:08:58.03
and his wife
Theresa, who is Health?
00:08:58.07\00:09:00.47
Producer.
Producer for LifeStyleTV.
00:09:00.54\00:09:03.51
So before we went to
the music you had told us,
00:09:03.54\00:09:08.01
I remember last
time when you all came
00:09:08.04\00:09:09.64
and we talked with you,
00:09:09.68\00:09:11.01
you told us you
were just getting ready
00:09:11.05\00:09:12.75
to break ground
for a new facility.
00:09:12.78\00:09:15.45
Yeah, it's amazing.
And then what happened?
00:09:15.48\00:09:16.89
In fact, we had
just broken grounds
00:09:16.92\00:09:18.75
like a couple of
weeks before we were here.
00:09:18.79\00:09:21.16
And, you know, sometimes
we sit in our human wisdom,
00:09:21.19\00:09:24.96
and we keep waiting and waiting
and we were raising funds.
00:09:24.99\00:09:29.16
We wanted to have had
all the money in place
00:09:29.20\00:09:31.10
before we start a building.
00:09:31.13\00:09:33.54
And so, God had really provided,
00:09:33.57\00:09:35.40
we had about half,
00:09:35.44\00:09:37.51
but then there
was like three years
00:09:37.54\00:09:38.87
when nothing moved.
00:09:38.91\00:09:40.28
It was like, it
didn't get any further
00:09:40.31\00:09:42.41
and we kept waiting and waiting,
00:09:42.44\00:09:44.25
and finally we said,
"We have to just step out
00:09:44.28\00:09:47.25
in faith and trust Jesus."
00:09:47.32\00:09:49.92
And so we stepped down and said,
00:09:49.95\00:09:51.29
"Okay, we're gonna
do a groundbreaking.
00:09:51.32\00:09:52.65
We're gonna trust
by the time we're ready
00:09:52.69\00:09:54.16
to then actually built,
we will have the money."
00:09:54.19\00:09:57.46
Yeah.
00:09:57.53\00:09:58.86
And a month after
we're done groundbreaking,
00:09:58.89\00:10:02.86
by God's grace
all the money was in.
00:10:02.90\00:10:04.53
Oh, praise the Lord.
00:10:04.57\00:10:05.90
You know, we
couldn't believe it,
00:10:05.93\00:10:07.27
but it was just
such an answer to prayer.
00:10:07.34\00:10:09.57
You know, we come
home and it's all in place
00:10:09.60\00:10:12.47
and we literally had
everything else ready.
00:10:12.51\00:10:14.81
We had the studio
plans, a drawing, architecture,
00:10:14.84\00:10:17.88
we had the building
permits, everything was ready.
00:10:17.91\00:10:19.78
The only thing that was
missing was signing the contract
00:10:19.81\00:10:23.15
with the contractors
for actually building.
00:10:23.18\00:10:25.62
We had the pricing and
everything was in place.
00:10:25.65\00:10:28.72
And it was at that time
00:10:28.76\00:10:31.06
that I think God
did something unique
00:10:31.09\00:10:33.03
'cause, you know, from
trying to build things,
00:10:33.06\00:10:36.06
you have your vision
of what you wanna do,
00:10:36.10\00:10:38.80
then you look at your funding,
00:10:38.83\00:10:40.17
oh, that's
gonna be too expensive
00:10:40.24\00:10:41.57
and you make it smaller,
00:10:41.60\00:10:42.94
you say, it's not gonna make it,
00:10:42.97\00:10:44.31
let me make little
bigger and you keep going,
00:10:44.34\00:10:45.67
and I don't know how many times
we kept going back and forth
00:10:45.71\00:10:47.98
and fine this okay, but
this may not be everything,
00:10:48.01\00:10:51.25
but this is what
we're able to do.
00:10:51.28\00:10:53.82
And that's when the
Lord just went in and said,
00:10:53.85\00:10:56.25
like from the Bible text here,
00:10:56.28\00:10:57.82
you know, I have
something way beyond.
00:10:57.85\00:11:00.76
So we did one thing, we thought,
00:11:00.79\00:11:02.32
"Well, that's
just at least check
00:11:02.36\00:11:04.16
if there's anything else around
00:11:04.23\00:11:06.73
we were thinking,
old, industrial building,
00:11:06.80\00:11:09.66
an old big barn,
00:11:09.70\00:11:11.03
anything that
could be remodeled,
00:11:11.07\00:11:12.70
possibly still making a
cheaper than building brand new.
00:11:12.73\00:11:16.54
And in that search,
all of a sudden came up
00:11:16.57\00:11:20.48
a place that was
further north than us.
00:11:20.51\00:11:23.95
That was a finished built studio
00:11:23.98\00:11:27.32
that had been built
for music, TV production.
00:11:27.35\00:11:30.49
Oh, my.
00:11:30.52\00:11:31.85
Had everything
the exact same size
00:11:31.89\00:11:33.56
that we were looking at.
00:11:33.59\00:11:34.92
And there's a picture of
it up in the forest there,
00:11:34.96\00:11:36.73
but it had also a
whole retreat center
00:11:36.76\00:11:39.79
part with rooms,
with hotel rooms,
00:11:39.83\00:11:43.57
foster hotel rooms had been used
00:11:43.60\00:11:45.00
for conference center for...
00:11:45.03\00:11:47.14
So there was all these things
that we weren't looking for,
00:11:47.17\00:11:50.41
and God's saying,
here's an opportunity.
00:11:50.44\00:11:53.91
First we like now,
but we're not looking
00:11:53.98\00:11:56.24
for something totally new.
00:11:56.28\00:11:58.28
We have a plan here.
00:11:58.31\00:12:00.35
It was six hours
north of where we were
00:12:00.42\00:12:02.48
so it wasn't like it
was just in the area,
00:12:02.52\00:12:04.49
what it mean a
complete moving of the ministry
00:12:04.52\00:12:07.86
and so we started praying,
we started talking about,
00:12:07.89\00:12:10.13
was a little bit more expensive,
00:12:10.16\00:12:11.53
but fairly close to the cost
00:12:11.56\00:12:14.00
and finally the
Lord impresses us,
00:12:14.03\00:12:15.70
you need to go see it.
00:12:15.73\00:12:17.40
So we arranged for
going, seeing and meeting
00:12:17.47\00:12:19.80
with the owners there
00:12:19.83\00:12:22.30
and I talked to
the realtor and so.
00:12:22.34\00:12:25.27
On the way there I call up again
00:12:25.31\00:12:28.71
just to make sure
that everything was okay
00:12:28.74\00:12:30.65
and the realtor
says, "Oh, no, I forgot."
00:12:30.68\00:12:33.18
Oh, no, that's not
good. The owner is not home.
00:12:33.21\00:12:35.18
He's in Spain on vacation.
00:12:35.22\00:12:37.09
And I'm three hours away,
00:12:37.12\00:12:39.22
but can you just
look in the windows.
00:12:39.25\00:12:42.36
You know, we are
going to look in new place,
00:12:42.39\00:12:45.03
we're expecting to
get in and see everything,
00:12:45.06\00:12:46.90
just go look in the windows,
it's just not the same as...
00:12:46.93\00:12:49.63
We had already seen
pictures and you don't see
00:12:49.66\00:12:52.50
so much more when you,
it was the middle of winter.
00:12:52.53\00:12:55.37
You know, you are
traipsing around in the frost
00:12:55.40\00:12:57.74
looking in a window...
00:12:57.77\00:12:59.47
Nope, not the same.
00:12:59.51\00:13:00.88
I mean, how many
windows does a studio have?
00:13:00.91\00:13:02.74
Yeah, should be zero.
00:13:02.78\00:13:04.15
You know, so we
couldn't see the studio,
00:13:04.18\00:13:05.85
which is what we're most
interested in actually seeing.
00:13:05.88\00:13:08.88
As we looked around like,
"Okay, not sure about this."
00:13:08.92\00:13:12.72
And we were leaving.
00:13:12.75\00:13:14.09
And we thought,
"Well, okay, we've done this.
00:13:14.16\00:13:15.76
We're done, thank you, Lord,
00:13:15.79\00:13:17.13
we've done what we need to
do, let's go home and get busy."
00:13:17.16\00:13:20.70
As if we had just left and
we're driving out of there.
00:13:20.73\00:13:23.90
And the phone rang
and it's the realtor
00:13:23.97\00:13:25.97
and he's like, you know,
the owner just called me.
00:13:26.00\00:13:30.51
He came home
yesterday, a day early.
00:13:30.54\00:13:33.11
He's actually driving
right now to the property.
00:13:33.14\00:13:35.74
Could you wait a few
minutes, he'll be right there.
00:13:35.78\00:13:38.35
You don't have to
think much about that.
00:13:38.38\00:13:39.71
Oh, sure. So we
turn around to go back.
00:13:39.75\00:13:42.22
By the time we got
back, he was already there.
00:13:42.25\00:13:45.05
As we step out,
00:13:45.09\00:13:46.45
and we meet the
owner of the place,
00:13:46.49\00:13:50.13
which was not the
original build of the place,
00:13:50.16\00:13:52.06
but there was one in
between so we meet the owner.
00:13:52.09\00:13:55.23
He looks at us and
immediately he's like,
00:13:55.26\00:13:58.17
"Where have we met before?"
00:13:58.20\00:14:00.34
You know, sometimes
you'd have that experience.
00:14:00.37\00:14:02.14
Did he look familiar to you?
00:14:02.17\00:14:03.51
I looked at him and I
was like, "I don't think so."
00:14:03.54\00:14:06.44
And he kept looking
inquisitively at us.
00:14:06.47\00:14:08.68
And finally, he's
like, "I've seen you on TV."
00:14:08.71\00:14:14.02
And so it turns out
00:14:14.05\00:14:15.38
that he's been
watching LifeStyleTV for years
00:14:15.42\00:14:18.12
and recognized Theresa
with her cooking programs,
00:14:18.15\00:14:21.19
and what she's doing there,
he himself was a personal chef.
00:14:21.22\00:14:25.33
And so he's just like, "Wow,
this has to be providence."
00:14:25.36\00:14:30.40
And then he starts showing us
around with a total new spirit,
00:14:30.47\00:14:33.54
you know, and we see everything.
00:14:33.57\00:14:34.90
I'm going back even
to the providence of him
00:14:34.94\00:14:37.01
coming back a day early...
00:14:37.04\00:14:38.37
Yes.
00:14:38.41\00:14:39.74
With that whole thing
because you were disappointed,
00:14:39.77\00:14:41.11
oh, we can't see inside.
00:14:41.14\00:14:42.64
You're leaving.
00:14:42.68\00:14:44.15
I mean, this was a
divine appointment.
00:14:44.18\00:14:45.95
God had arranged
for him to come back,
00:14:45.98\00:14:48.48
but not just that,
00:14:48.52\00:14:49.85
He has arranged for him to watch
00:14:49.88\00:14:51.22
and know what LifeStyleTV
is about for several years.
00:14:51.25\00:14:53.49
So when we come,
he's already so excited
00:14:53.56\00:14:55.56
and says, "Wow,
00:14:55.59\00:14:57.03
this is what I
would love to sell to."
00:14:57.06\00:14:58.76
I mean, you know,
00:14:58.79\00:15:00.13
and he's
immediately getting the vision
00:15:00.20\00:15:01.83
of what could happen here.
00:15:01.86\00:15:03.57
And so, after that experience,
we went home when we said,
00:15:03.60\00:15:08.07
"We have to take this serious."
00:15:08.10\00:15:09.57
Well, maybe we
need to think about this
00:15:09.60\00:15:11.34
and pray about this.
00:15:11.37\00:15:12.71
Yeah.
00:15:12.74\00:15:14.08
Because you had your mind set
on building brand new studios.
00:15:14.11\00:15:17.15
That was the whole plan.
Groundbreaking had taken place.
00:15:17.18\00:15:20.32
Yeah.
00:15:20.35\00:15:21.68
And then all of a sudden this,
00:15:21.72\00:15:23.05
so what was that trip like home,
00:15:23.08\00:15:24.42
six hours home?
00:15:24.45\00:15:25.79
Well, I
remember saying to Claus,
00:15:25.82\00:15:27.79
I said, "You know, maybe God
is trying to tell us something,
00:15:27.82\00:15:32.29
maybe we need to look a little,
you know, 'cause it wasn't,
00:15:32.33\00:15:36.60
we can't just walk
away from this now.
00:15:36.67\00:15:38.30
Now there's
something here." And so we did.
00:15:38.33\00:15:41.44
And so then we started
this whole process of saying,
00:15:41.47\00:15:43.71
"You know, do we
really pull up everything,
00:15:43.74\00:15:48.31
sell everything,
move everything."
00:15:48.34\00:15:50.28
I mean, imagine
moving 3ABN to another state.
00:15:50.35\00:15:53.28
And that's
something that we should
00:15:53.31\00:15:54.65
actually bring up, Claus,
00:15:54.68\00:15:56.02
because some
people may not realize,
00:15:56.05\00:15:57.39
you're talking
about groundbreaking,
00:15:57.42\00:15:58.75
but actually their
LifeStyleTV was in existence,
00:15:58.79\00:16:00.16
the studio was
in a little house.
00:16:00.19\00:16:01.52
That's right.
00:16:01.56\00:16:02.89
I mean, LifeStyleTV had function
00:16:02.92\00:16:04.26
for 11, 12 years before this.
00:16:04.29\00:16:07.43
So I mean, it was up running,
we had housing, we had offices,
00:16:07.50\00:16:11.67
you know, even
though the studio was tiny,
00:16:11.70\00:16:13.23
everything else was functioning
00:16:13.27\00:16:15.34
and so to move all
of that was a big step.
00:16:15.37\00:16:19.07
But you knew you
needed to expand.
00:16:19.11\00:16:20.68
We had to expand,
we needed more space.
00:16:20.71\00:16:23.45
And the thing
that was so incredible,
00:16:23.48\00:16:25.15
this building, we
had just to say it bland,
00:16:25.18\00:16:30.39
you know, we had drawn up
00:16:30.42\00:16:32.12
a sketch of an economy building,
00:16:32.15\00:16:35.12
you know, and big industrial
square building that is cheap,
00:16:35.16\00:16:39.79
that is functional,
that you can get working,
00:16:39.83\00:16:43.87
you know, and being at assigner
00:16:43.90\00:16:45.47
one of my pains
that always misses.
00:16:45.50\00:16:46.97
Ah, I wish I could do
something with this building,
00:16:47.04\00:16:50.11
you know, you have
all these dreams of,
00:16:50.14\00:16:52.37
and it's like, no, that's
just, we need to be economical,
00:16:52.41\00:16:56.64
we need to make it functional,
it needs to be and it's like,
00:16:56.68\00:16:59.31
God knows some of these
dreams of our hearts, I think,
00:16:59.35\00:17:02.05
and He answers in a way
00:17:02.08\00:17:04.09
because this place is
architecturally designed.
00:17:04.12\00:17:06.96
I mean, it's a beautiful place.
00:17:06.99\00:17:08.69
We look at the
couple of the next picture.
00:17:08.72\00:17:10.63
It has a close of
it. That's beautiful.
00:17:10.66\00:17:14.03
There is one right
there. Here you see that a bit.
00:17:14.10\00:17:16.06
And so you see all of the rooms
00:17:16.10\00:17:17.67
in front here was the attic part
00:17:17.70\00:17:19.63
and then the
tall roof in the back.
00:17:19.67\00:17:22.94
That is the studio
part. But it's all connected?
00:17:22.97\00:17:25.61
All one big building.
00:17:25.64\00:17:27.38
This is not an
industrial old building.
00:17:27.41\00:17:28.94
Square. No.
00:17:28.98\00:17:30.35
You know, this is
a beautiful building,
00:17:30.38\00:17:32.15
you know, and we're
like, "Wow, really Lord?"
00:17:32.18\00:17:33.95
And it's turnkey.
It had everything.
00:17:34.02\00:17:35.78
Everything was ready.
It was fully furnished.
00:17:35.82\00:17:37.72
All the hotel rooms
are fully furnished.
00:17:37.75\00:17:39.62
The kitchen is big
restaurant kitchen,
00:17:39.65\00:17:41.99
fully furnished with everything.
00:17:42.02\00:17:43.43
The only thing
that was not there
00:17:43.46\00:17:45.36
was all the technical equipment
but we had that, you know...
00:17:45.39\00:17:48.63
So say that again.
00:17:48.66\00:17:50.00
You're saying that you
had furniture in there?
00:17:50.07\00:17:51.47
Oh, yeah.
00:17:51.50\00:17:52.83
All the furniture
in all the hotel rooms,
00:17:52.87\00:17:54.24
all the beddings were there.
00:17:54.27\00:17:55.60
I was thinking about
towel. Okay, so you had sheets.
00:17:55.64\00:17:56.97
Linens, everything.
00:17:57.01\00:17:58.81
Even bath towels for the spa.
00:17:58.84\00:18:01.88
It has a spa? Oh, yeah.
00:18:01.91\00:18:03.65
And bathrooms. That's right.
00:18:03.68\00:18:05.55
You know, it's amazing.
00:18:05.58\00:18:06.92
And this bring it back a
little bit to the history
00:18:06.95\00:18:08.75
of this place,
which is so unique
00:18:08.78\00:18:10.32
because this place was built
00:18:10.39\00:18:13.46
in the early 90s
by Hakan Hagegard.
00:18:13.49\00:18:18.59
Hakan Hagegard is a very
famous Swedish opera singer.
00:18:18.63\00:18:23.87
And in fact in the
States, there will be
00:18:23.90\00:18:25.40
some that will
probably recognize his name
00:18:25.43\00:18:27.14
because he sang
a lot in New York
00:18:27.17\00:18:29.30
in the big operas
and theater there.
00:18:29.34\00:18:32.74
And so, he had a vision
00:18:32.77\00:18:36.04
to start a center for musicians.
00:18:36.08\00:18:40.55
As, you know,
00:18:40.62\00:18:42.22
he was a
professional musician himself.
00:18:42.25\00:18:44.09
He was on the road,
00:18:44.12\00:18:45.45
he was used to
the busy schedule,
00:18:45.49\00:18:47.16
and he realized
and saw how many people
00:18:47.19\00:18:49.69
would burn out in the industry.
00:18:49.72\00:18:51.76
And he's like, we need to create
00:18:51.79\00:18:53.40
something like a retreat center,
00:18:53.43\00:18:55.56
where professional
musicians could come,
00:18:55.60\00:18:57.90
they can rest up in
nature, they can recuperate,
00:18:57.93\00:19:01.47
they can have time and
get their creative skills
00:19:01.50\00:19:04.64
and write and compose
music and practice it,
00:19:04.67\00:19:08.68
and then
eventually go in the studio
00:19:08.71\00:19:10.85
and actually record it.
00:19:10.88\00:19:12.41
And so that was his vision.
00:19:12.45\00:19:14.05
And this vision at
the time was so unique
00:19:14.12\00:19:16.89
that even New York
Time had a feature article,
00:19:16.92\00:19:19.59
where they wrote about
this whole concept in Sweden
00:19:19.62\00:19:23.36
of what he was doing
for professional musicians.
00:19:23.43\00:19:26.63
And, so all of
this is put into it,
00:19:26.70\00:19:30.60
the studio itself
is a state of the art
00:19:30.67\00:19:34.54
music recording studio
00:19:34.57\00:19:36.71
with acoustic sheets
everywhere in the room.
00:19:36.74\00:19:40.28
It was made for
the national TV station
00:19:40.31\00:19:43.18
to back in their OB
trucks right in the garage
00:19:43.21\00:19:47.02
and hook up with the
cables into the whole place
00:19:47.05\00:19:49.28
and go live from there.
00:19:49.32\00:19:50.69
So everything is
set in this facility
00:19:50.72\00:19:53.02
for television production.
00:19:53.05\00:19:54.39
Everything is ready.
00:19:54.42\00:19:55.76
There's a control room
that was right there, you know,
00:19:55.79\00:19:58.13
and people know the
place, I mean, that's...
00:19:58.16\00:20:00.10
You go around there a couple
of hours around, everybody,
00:20:00.13\00:20:02.53
as soon as you
mentioned Hagegarden,
00:20:02.56\00:20:04.10
everybody know
what the place is.
00:20:04.17\00:20:05.57
Hagegarden.
00:20:05.60\00:20:06.94
Yes, it was when
he did the dedication
00:20:06.97\00:20:09.54
just to give you
an idea of the level
00:20:09.57\00:20:12.74
the Swedish King was
one of the guests present
00:20:12.77\00:20:16.14
at the dedication of the
place, that was the level
00:20:16.18\00:20:20.62
and the layer he was
in, you know, and so...
00:20:20.65\00:20:23.08
And when they
had the dedication,
00:20:23.12\00:20:24.45
I think it was
around 10,000 people
00:20:24.49\00:20:26.32
that came through.
00:20:26.35\00:20:27.69
Oh, wow.
00:20:27.72\00:20:29.06
Just from Sweden
00:20:29.09\00:20:30.43
from the local
area and everything.
00:20:30.46\00:20:31.79
Now this was in the 90s? Yeah.
00:20:31.83\00:20:33.16
Right. Okay.
00:20:33.19\00:20:34.53
And so the other
thing with it is,
00:20:34.56\00:20:35.90
being on that level of quality
00:20:35.93\00:20:37.57
and the people he
would associate with,
00:20:37.60\00:20:40.54
everything in the
building is built quality.
00:20:40.57\00:20:43.91
You know, and so
it's built to last,
00:20:43.94\00:20:45.57
is built of a
quality that is way beyond
00:20:45.61\00:20:48.91
what we would
have had money to build
00:20:48.94\00:20:51.91
where we were looking at it.
00:20:51.95\00:20:53.28
And so, God is
providing this thing
00:20:53.31\00:20:54.95
that is all furnished,
that is way above at a price
00:20:54.98\00:20:58.42
that was a fraction
of the replacement cost
00:20:58.45\00:21:02.42
of what it would actually
cost to build the place.
00:21:02.46\00:21:04.46
Oh, wow. You know, and already.
00:21:04.49\00:21:07.03
So the price was
close to what you would have
00:21:07.10\00:21:09.50
to spend to build the square box
00:21:09.53\00:21:12.67
and thus be real studio?
00:21:12.70\00:21:14.97
When we went back and talk...
00:21:15.00\00:21:16.34
So how long did it take
to decide on what to do?
00:21:16.37\00:21:18.77
We had probably,
I mean, officially,
00:21:18.81\00:21:22.18
it was about two months,
00:21:22.21\00:21:23.55
but I think
within those two months,
00:21:23.58\00:21:24.91
we were getting quite convinced,
00:21:24.95\00:21:26.28
but we finally
had the whole board
00:21:26.31\00:21:27.65
meet at the place,
we had a board meeting
00:21:27.68\00:21:29.88
and had the board see it
and experience it themselves.
00:21:29.92\00:21:32.29
And everybody's
like, this is a miracle.
00:21:32.32\00:21:35.56
This is just amazing.
00:21:35.59\00:21:36.93
And so, we went ahead
00:21:36.96\00:21:38.79
and the
difference was not an issue.
00:21:38.83\00:21:41.70
We went back to
the donors to ask,
00:21:41.73\00:21:43.47
is it okay that we use the money
00:21:43.50\00:21:45.00
for this rather than building.
00:21:45.03\00:21:46.97
And they're like, "Of course."
00:21:47.04\00:21:48.87
And in fact, we will
give you the difference
00:21:48.90\00:21:51.41
to make sure you
can secure this place
00:21:51.44\00:21:53.17
and so that was
just such a blessing.
00:21:53.21\00:21:55.28
So you
purchased this place? Yes.
00:21:55.31\00:21:57.28
So LifeStyleTV
is now located in...
00:21:57.35\00:22:00.32
In Varmland, Sweden. Okay.
00:22:00.35\00:22:01.85
I think we have a
map here that shows us
00:22:01.88\00:22:03.72
where we are in Sweden.
00:22:03.79\00:22:05.12
So if you draw a line
between Oslo and Stockholm,
00:22:05.15\00:22:08.12
the capital of Norway
and capital of Sweden,
00:22:08.16\00:22:10.96
right on that line,
00:22:10.99\00:22:12.33
we about one-third towards Oslo,
00:22:12.36\00:22:14.20
two-thirds to Stockholm.
00:22:14.23\00:22:15.93
That's where it is.
And, you know this is unique.
00:22:15.96\00:22:19.10
And, you know, Jill,
'cause I just learned from you
00:22:19.13\00:22:22.60
that Varmland is where
even your ancestors came from.
00:22:22.64\00:22:26.31
It is, absolutely.
00:22:26.34\00:22:27.68
You know, and it's a beautiful,
00:22:27.71\00:22:29.04
beautiful part of
Sweden that is very unique.
00:22:29.08\00:22:31.85
And the experience as we went
to some of our board members
00:22:31.88\00:22:36.52
that we talked around,
you know, one of the families
00:22:36.55\00:22:39.72
that is on the board are
actually Swedish descent.
00:22:39.75\00:22:44.23
And as I show them
00:22:44.26\00:22:45.59
one of the drone
shots of the place,
00:22:45.63\00:22:49.23
they knew that it
was close to the area
00:22:49.26\00:22:51.80
where their
relatives had come from,
00:22:51.83\00:22:53.44
you know, like Varmland,
we are within the region,
00:22:53.47\00:22:57.21
but we didn't
realize neither of us
00:22:57.24\00:22:58.94
before we saw that place
that right in my drone shot
00:22:58.97\00:23:01.88
where a couple of
miles behind was a big church
00:23:01.91\00:23:05.48
and we have a picture
of the church here as well,
00:23:05.51\00:23:07.92
beautiful Swedish church
00:23:07.95\00:23:10.39
and that was the
scene in the background,
00:23:10.42\00:23:11.99
it's not the exact picture
00:23:12.02\00:23:13.96
and what we
realize is what, Theresa?
00:23:13.99\00:23:17.03
Well, it's very interesting
because these board members
00:23:17.06\00:23:20.30
have been
involved with LifeStyleTV
00:23:20.33\00:23:23.06
from the very start.
00:23:23.10\00:23:24.80
And they've always had
a burden for Scandinavia
00:23:24.83\00:23:26.94
and for Sweden but, of
course, in their hearts
00:23:26.97\00:23:28.77
they have a burden
for their home area
00:23:28.80\00:23:32.24
where their family is from
00:23:32.27\00:23:33.71
and yet they have poured
themselves into LifeStyleTV,
00:23:33.78\00:23:37.81
even though we were
not directly from there,
00:23:37.85\00:23:40.95
but it's like God says,
00:23:40.98\00:23:42.32
"Well, you know, I
see your faithfulness.
00:23:42.35\00:23:43.69
I see your interest in My work."
00:23:43.72\00:23:46.52
And He's plopped us right there.
00:23:46.55\00:23:49.09
The actual church
there, I think it's his great,
00:23:49.12\00:23:53.43
great grandfather,
00:23:53.50\00:23:55.13
great, great
grandparents are buried there.
00:23:55.16\00:23:57.07
Wow.
00:23:57.10\00:23:58.43
So they're
exactly from the very area
00:23:58.47\00:24:00.67
where they come.
00:24:00.74\00:24:02.07
So they recognize the church.
00:24:02.10\00:24:03.44
And said, "We
go there every year
00:24:03.47\00:24:05.34
and put flowers
on the grave still."
00:24:05.37\00:24:07.48
I mean, they still have contact
with relatives in that area.
00:24:07.51\00:24:11.08
But their heart is in that area
00:24:11.11\00:24:12.58
for the gospel to
spread in that area.
00:24:12.61\00:24:14.58
Here LifeStyleTV, this property
becomes available right there.
00:24:14.62\00:24:18.05
So for them that
was such an answer
00:24:18.09\00:24:20.16
for the prayers as well.
00:24:20.19\00:24:21.52
God is rewarding
their faithfulness
00:24:21.56\00:24:24.23
and having helped us for
years by putting us right there
00:24:24.26\00:24:27.80
where they have a burden for...
00:24:27.83\00:24:29.16
To be able to reach
out to their relatives.
00:24:29.20\00:24:31.83
Absolutely. So it's a blessing.
00:24:31.87\00:24:34.60
So you made the decision
to move forward and purchase.
00:24:34.64\00:24:39.41
When did you actually move in
00:24:39.44\00:24:41.31
and dedicate the
building and tell us about that?
00:24:41.34\00:24:43.88
As a little over a year ago
that we actually moved there
00:24:43.95\00:24:49.72
and just over a year ago as well
00:24:49.75\00:24:51.55
that we have the
actual dedication.
00:24:51.59\00:24:53.66
And I'm so glad that you
guys could be there from 3ABN
00:24:53.69\00:24:56.93
and be part with
us of celebrating
00:24:56.96\00:24:58.86
what God has done.
00:24:58.89\00:25:00.23
So thank you for coming.
00:25:00.30\00:25:01.63
And I think we
have a little video clip
00:25:01.66\00:25:03.10
that just shows a little
bit from both the dedication
00:25:03.13\00:25:06.40
but also about the place,
so you can get a real idea
00:25:06.43\00:25:08.70
of what this is really like.
00:25:08.74\00:25:10.61
So let's run that now.
00:25:10.64\00:25:12.01
Well, that's great.
00:27:03.39\00:27:04.72
I tell you, Jill and I
had a wonderful time there,
00:27:04.75\00:27:06.62
seeing that video
reminds us of being there
00:27:06.65\00:27:09.52
and it's absolutely
an incredible facility.
00:27:09.56\00:27:12.29
We flew from United
States to Amsterdam,
00:27:12.33\00:27:15.40
Amsterdam to Norway.
00:27:15.43\00:27:17.07
We drove then from Norway.
00:27:17.10\00:27:19.20
We rented a car and
drove from Oslo over.
00:27:19.23\00:27:21.77
That was...
Probably two hour drive.
00:27:21.80\00:27:23.14
Yeah.
00:27:23.17\00:27:24.51
Incredible drive, of
course, Jill and I like nature.
00:27:24.54\00:27:27.11
And as you notice
from the drone footage,
00:27:27.18\00:27:28.61
it's not like they're
downtown some big busy city.
00:27:28.64\00:27:32.48
They're in the
beautiful country.
00:27:32.51\00:27:34.32
You could see the
lake in the background,
00:27:34.35\00:27:36.02
the pine trees, there's a...
00:27:36.05\00:27:37.39
How long is the gravel road,
00:27:37.42\00:27:38.75
dirt road to your
place off the main?
00:27:38.79\00:27:40.16
It's almost a mile. Yeah.
00:27:40.19\00:27:41.79
Just gorgeous and the
air is so clean and so fresh
00:27:41.82\00:27:45.46
and it's just an
amazing place to have a studio
00:27:45.49\00:27:48.93
and then the
retreat center there.
00:27:48.96\00:27:50.60
It was amazing.
Elder Wilson was there.
00:27:50.67\00:27:52.20
You saw him and his wife,
a lot of church leadership,
00:27:52.23\00:27:55.60
support LifeStyleTV's fantastic
dedication service there too.
00:27:55.64\00:27:59.37
It was.
00:27:59.41\00:28:00.78
It was an amazing
dedication service
00:28:00.81\00:28:02.14
'cause we'd heard
about what God was doing,
00:28:02.18\00:28:04.18
but to have the
privilege really.
00:28:04.25\00:28:06.61
Thank you for the invitation.
00:28:06.65\00:28:07.98
To be able to go and
to be able experience it
00:28:08.02\00:28:09.95
and see what God was doing.
00:28:09.98\00:28:12.02
Claus shared some of the stories
00:28:12.05\00:28:13.79
that we're hearing
today on this program,
00:28:13.86\00:28:16.73
and just to see it
with your own eyes,
00:28:16.76\00:28:18.76
you can hear about it, but
when you're actually there,
00:28:18.79\00:28:21.50
and then to be part of
that dedication service,
00:28:21.53\00:28:24.07
the dedication of the
studio for the service
00:28:24.10\00:28:26.74
of the Lord Jesus to help spread
00:28:26.77\00:28:28.84
the three angels' messages
00:28:28.87\00:28:30.97
specifically there throughout
Scandinavia, it was amazing.
00:28:31.01\00:28:34.41
And for me personally, it
was my first time in Sweden.
00:28:34.44\00:28:37.15
Even though my great grandmother
00:28:37.18\00:28:38.58
came from Sweden, it
was really my first time.
00:28:38.61\00:28:41.45
And so my mom had said,
00:28:41.48\00:28:43.39
"Well, you
should really check out
00:28:43.42\00:28:45.19
and see where
the family's from."
00:28:45.22\00:28:46.79
And I thought,
"We don't have time.
00:28:46.86\00:28:48.72
You know, we're
just coming in quickly,
00:28:48.76\00:28:50.23
we'll never do that."
00:28:50.26\00:28:51.73
And so on the way
out, there was a sign,
00:28:51.76\00:28:54.36
one of those blue road
signs by the side of the road,
00:28:54.40\00:28:57.07
and it said Varmlands.
00:28:57.10\00:28:59.37
However, you pronounce that.
00:28:59.40\00:29:00.74
And I thought,
"Okay, great, so well,
00:29:00.77\00:29:02.47
why don't you go
over there, Jill,
00:29:02.50\00:29:03.84
and just take a
picture by the sign."
00:29:03.91\00:29:05.37
So I did, it was
raining, I had my umbrella,
00:29:05.41\00:29:07.71
took a picture by the sign.
00:29:07.74\00:29:09.34
And I sent it to
my mom and she said,
00:29:09.38\00:29:11.08
that's the place where
your ancestors are from.
00:29:11.11\00:29:14.32
So my family comes
from that area too.
00:29:14.35\00:29:16.79
That was very special.
00:29:16.82\00:29:18.32
Yeah, you know,
some of the video
00:29:18.35\00:29:20.06
we just saw is incredible
00:29:20.09\00:29:21.42
'cause what you're
seeing there the furniture
00:29:21.46\00:29:23.73
and everything
that you're seeing,
00:29:23.76\00:29:25.09
people can say, "Oh, man,
00:29:25.13\00:29:26.46
they spent a lot
of money on that."
00:29:26.49\00:29:27.83
God provided that
and that's what just,
00:29:27.86\00:29:29.20
it's amazing to
think about that.
00:29:29.23\00:29:30.77
It was just sitting there
waiting for you all to move in.
00:29:30.80\00:29:33.74
A beautiful
tastefully done as well.
00:29:33.77\00:29:35.10
You know, it fits, it's
really done in Swedish style
00:29:35.14\00:29:39.14
all the way
through, nicely decorated...
00:29:39.17\00:29:41.21
The commercial kitchen
set up with refrigerators
00:29:41.24\00:29:44.05
and all the nice sinks.
00:29:44.08\00:29:46.05
It's just amazing.
00:29:46.08\00:29:47.42
You know, another unique thing
that we found very interesting
00:29:47.45\00:29:51.22
from a financial perspective
is the previous owner,
00:29:51.25\00:29:54.06
he made a few renovations
and just kind of upkeep them.
00:29:54.09\00:29:56.66
One of the things he invested in
00:29:56.73\00:29:58.43
was a geothermal heating system,
00:29:58.46\00:30:00.63
you know, with
drill holes in the ground,
00:30:00.70\00:30:02.76
which make the
heating of the place
00:30:02.80\00:30:04.60
very, very economical
even up there in the north.
00:30:04.63\00:30:07.27
And so, just a lot of things
like this that is so amazing.
00:30:07.34\00:30:11.27
So how many acres come
with this, the buildings?
00:30:11.31\00:30:14.71
Right now there's
about seven acres...
00:30:14.74\00:30:17.05
Oh, that's quite a good.
00:30:17.08\00:30:18.98
And possibility of
maybe purchasing more later,
00:30:19.01\00:30:20.98
so this is very
amazing. Theresa.
00:30:21.02\00:30:23.25
I just wanted to
add on, you know,
00:30:23.28\00:30:24.82
you talk about
that commercial kitchen.
00:30:24.85\00:30:28.09
You never were down
south where we were before.
00:30:28.12\00:30:30.93
But LifeStyleTV
didn't have its own kitchen.
00:30:30.96\00:30:33.93
And we had our own, we
were connected to LifeStyleTV
00:30:34.00\00:30:37.47
where we lived and everything.
00:30:37.50\00:30:38.83
And we had this tiny kitchen
was about the size of a closet.
00:30:38.87\00:30:41.40
Oh, wow.
00:30:41.44\00:30:42.77
It was just itty-bitty little
and we fed many people from it.
00:30:42.80\00:30:45.57
It was, you know, no big deal,
00:30:45.61\00:30:47.31
but my mother had
been there to visit,
00:30:47.38\00:30:49.31
and then she came
when we moved up here to
00:30:49.34\00:30:51.71
where we are, and she saw
00:30:51.75\00:30:53.08
this beautiful
industrial kitchen
00:30:53.11\00:30:54.92
and she started
laughing and she says,
00:30:54.95\00:30:57.39
"Boy, you're
really into the extremes."
00:30:57.42\00:31:01.29
Yeah, from small to a
nice commercial kitchen.
00:31:01.32\00:31:03.63
But it just shows, I
mean, God does abundantly above
00:31:03.66\00:31:06.19
what we could ask or think.
00:31:06.23\00:31:07.83
I wanna touch on
briefly the health outreach
00:31:07.86\00:31:10.37
'cause you're a health producer.
00:31:10.40\00:31:11.90
So obviously health means a lot
'cause LifeStyleTV that's nice,
00:31:11.93\00:31:15.34
you're thinking
about total health,
00:31:15.37\00:31:16.71
but I know health
means a lot to you, Theresa,
00:31:16.74\00:31:18.71
you've done a lot of
cooking programs too.
00:31:18.74\00:31:20.28
I have and, you know, I
think that is one of the keys.
00:31:20.31\00:31:23.95
Sweden is a
very secular country,
00:31:23.98\00:31:26.41
more so now has ever been.
00:31:26.45\00:31:28.85
And yet people are
interested in health.
00:31:28.88\00:31:31.42
Right now in
Sweden, vegetarianism,
00:31:31.45\00:31:34.56
veganism is on the rise.
00:31:34.59\00:31:35.92
Really?
00:31:35.96\00:31:37.33
You can talk about that
with just about anybody,
00:31:37.36\00:31:38.86
everybody knows that
maybe for the environment
00:31:38.89\00:31:41.96
or for the
animals, but everybody knows
00:31:42.00\00:31:43.57
it's probably a good
idea to eat more vegetables,
00:31:43.60\00:31:49.20
less meat, that type of thing.
00:31:49.24\00:31:50.81
So we have actually started
00:31:50.84\00:31:52.64
several different
health outreaches.
00:31:52.67\00:31:55.41
We had a expo not that long ago.
00:31:55.44\00:32:00.02
Like a health
expo. A health expo.
00:32:00.05\00:32:02.15
We set up and we
did a health screening,
00:32:02.18\00:32:04.09
we did blood
pressure, blood sugar.
00:32:04.12\00:32:06.55
Here you can see,
we've set up in the studio.
00:32:06.59\00:32:08.26
This is inside the studio there,
00:32:08.29\00:32:10.23
the different
stations and you can see
00:32:10.26\00:32:11.69
a few of the crew walking
around getting ready to start.
00:32:11.73\00:32:14.20
Yeah, this is amazing.
00:32:14.23\00:32:15.56
So this is
actually inside your studio.
00:32:15.60\00:32:16.93
I mean... It's so big.
00:32:16.97\00:32:18.53
It's absolutely amazing.
00:32:18.57\00:32:20.64
You know, to reach the community
00:32:20.67\00:32:22.70
and to make
contacts there as well.
00:32:22.74\00:32:24.71
And so... How
was the attendance?
00:32:24.74\00:32:26.37
Did you get
some local community?
00:32:26.41\00:32:28.14
We did. We did.
00:32:28.18\00:32:29.61
We had some the best
contacts we have ever had.
00:32:29.64\00:32:32.05
And I...
00:32:32.08\00:32:33.42
One of the people that came,
00:32:35.35\00:32:37.62
they were from the
state church right there,
00:32:37.65\00:32:40.96
the big one on the
hill, they're employed there.
00:32:40.99\00:32:43.06
And they came the first
day, we had a two day expo.
00:32:43.09\00:32:46.39
They came the first
day and they were so happy
00:32:46.43\00:32:48.56
and so pleased.
00:32:48.60\00:32:49.93
They went home, the next day
they came back with their son.
00:32:49.96\00:32:52.60
Now mind you, he was
only 17 and he didn't have
00:32:52.63\00:32:54.60
any health problems whatsoever,
neither did the parent,
00:32:54.64\00:32:58.51
but just the enthusiasm
and then wanting to share.
00:32:58.54\00:33:01.94
It was really neat to
see. Yeah, that's great.
00:33:01.98\00:33:04.75
I think part of the
thing that has really amazed us
00:33:04.78\00:33:08.08
and been so
wonderful to see has been
00:33:08.12\00:33:11.42
the way God has opened the doors
00:33:11.45\00:33:13.22
in the community with contacts.
00:33:13.25\00:33:15.32
The community has
been so open, so welcoming,
00:33:15.36\00:33:19.13
I mean, people
have been coming up,
00:33:19.16\00:33:20.80
they would stop by
00:33:20.83\00:33:22.16
and just knock on
the door and come in
00:33:22.20\00:33:23.53
and just welcome us to the area.
00:33:23.57\00:33:25.20
Oh, wow.
00:33:25.23\00:33:26.57
When we had a
Christmas concert which we had
00:33:26.60\00:33:29.17
in the beginning
there in the studio as well.
00:33:29.20\00:33:31.14
And we have a picture
from that concert there.
00:33:31.17\00:33:33.71
We will have people come in
and the neighbors would come in
00:33:33.78\00:33:37.25
with flower
arrangements to give to us
00:33:37.28\00:33:39.65
to welcome us to the area,
00:33:39.68\00:33:41.02
and we're just so
happy that you're here
00:33:41.05\00:33:42.72
and starting something,
you know, and so we just felt
00:33:42.75\00:33:45.32
so welcome in the area,
00:33:45.35\00:33:47.36
in the church
down the road there
00:33:47.39\00:33:49.42
which is a big
Swedish State Church,
00:33:49.46\00:33:52.56
you know, the
pastor would be there
00:33:52.59\00:33:55.40
and welcome us.
00:33:55.43\00:33:56.77
Theresa singing in a choir
and so we were down there once
00:33:56.80\00:33:59.40
when she was singing
00:33:59.43\00:34:01.20
and another
staff member as well,
00:34:01.24\00:34:02.60
and afterwards
the pastor is also,
00:34:02.64\00:34:04.01
"I'm gonna do a
little cool here.
00:34:04.04\00:34:06.14
Can you guys come up?"
00:34:06.17\00:34:07.51
And then in
front of a full church,
00:34:07.58\00:34:09.24
he's welcoming
us to the community
00:34:09.28\00:34:11.51
and said, "This is
Claus and Theresa Nybo,
00:34:11.55\00:34:13.42
they just started
here at Hagegarden.
00:34:13.45\00:34:15.52
They're Seventh-day
Adventists and we are so happy
00:34:15.55\00:34:18.19
that they are in our community."
00:34:18.22\00:34:19.82
And so welcomes like
that from community leaders...
00:34:19.85\00:34:23.93
That means a lot.
00:34:23.96\00:34:25.29
It means a lot for
local people as well to,
00:34:25.33\00:34:28.03
you know, just be
positive and open up
00:34:28.06\00:34:29.86
so very, very open
community which has been amazing
00:34:29.90\00:34:33.44
and so we're doing a
lot of outreach in the area
00:34:33.47\00:34:37.31
and food has been a big
thing that we're working on,
00:34:37.34\00:34:40.58
especially now
with a big kitchen
00:34:40.61\00:34:42.11
so we've just
finished a new cookbook,
00:34:42.14\00:34:45.55
which is plant-based
cookbook that Theresa has done
00:34:45.58\00:34:49.32
with all the
recipes and everything is...
00:34:49.35\00:34:51.65
It's in English?
This one is in Swedish.
00:34:51.69\00:34:54.09
This one is in Swedish.
00:34:54.16\00:34:55.49
We do have an English
version we're working on.
00:34:55.52\00:34:56.86
We're coming up
with an English version,
00:34:56.89\00:34:58.23
but this is the
Swedish hardbound version.
00:34:58.26\00:35:00.50
Yeah, that's
hardback, that's nice.
00:35:00.53\00:35:01.86
And beautiful setting.
00:35:01.90\00:35:03.37
And I like to
look at the kitchen
00:35:03.40\00:35:05.83
as an experimental
kitchen, you know, that I say
00:35:05.87\00:35:10.41
this is where
we develop recipes.
00:35:10.44\00:35:13.17
This is where we develop things,
00:35:13.21\00:35:14.84
you know, and so we have
00:35:14.88\00:35:17.45
some professional
chefs come as well
00:35:17.48\00:35:19.25
to be part of it.
00:35:19.28\00:35:20.62
And... Oh, that's amazing.
00:35:20.65\00:35:23.12
That looks
fabulous. Look at that.
00:35:23.15\00:35:25.39
Look at the pictures.
00:35:25.42\00:35:27.09
I wanna get this
cookbook just for the pictures.
00:35:27.16\00:35:29.86
What are the ingredients?
I think I can translate this.
00:35:29.89\00:35:33.13
Yes! So what is this?
00:35:33.16\00:35:34.50
So since it's in Swedish,
what does it say on the front?
00:35:34.53\00:35:37.67
The name? Yes.
00:35:37.70\00:35:39.03
Vego Smart.
00:35:39.07\00:35:40.47
Well, that's vego
is not really a word.
00:35:40.54\00:35:42.47
It's just like vego
is an... Vegetarian.
00:35:42.50\00:35:45.14
Vegetarian green.
And then smart is smart.
00:35:45.17\00:35:48.18
Okay. Good.
00:35:48.21\00:35:49.94
So someone may be asking
00:35:49.98\00:35:51.31
'cause they may not be
familiar with LifeStyleTV,
00:35:51.35\00:35:52.68
we're talking about
the local community,
00:35:52.71\00:35:54.05
but what is the
reach of lifestyle
00:35:54.12\00:35:55.95
'cause it's not just local.
00:35:55.98\00:35:57.89
And so how far does it
reach what countries...
00:35:57.92\00:36:00.16
LifeStyleTV...
00:36:00.19\00:36:02.22
Well, technically we reaches
around the world like you do
00:36:02.26\00:36:04.63
because we on
internet, but our focus area
00:36:04.66\00:36:08.33
is the Scandinavian countries,
00:36:08.36\00:36:10.40
which is really
Sweden, Norway, and Denmark.
00:36:10.47\00:36:13.10
Wow!
00:36:13.13\00:36:14.47
That's the
countries we're reaching
00:36:14.50\00:36:15.84
with the language
groups, with the productions.
00:36:15.87\00:36:18.21
A lot of productions in
those local languages...
00:36:18.24\00:36:22.01
No kidding. So it's
not just the Swedish.
00:36:22.04\00:36:23.98
No, we have
productions in Danish,
00:36:24.05\00:36:25.75
we have
productions in Norwegian,
00:36:25.78\00:36:27.65
and then we fill up
00:36:27.68\00:36:29.02
with a lot of
English programming and...
00:36:29.05\00:36:31.02
And you take some of 3ABN...
00:36:31.05\00:36:32.39
3ABN and some
suppliers programming
00:36:32.42\00:36:34.16
which we really appreciate them.
00:36:34.19\00:36:35.79
And others as well.
00:36:35.82\00:36:37.16
That we have appreciated
people sharing programs
00:36:37.23\00:36:39.73
so that we can fill out
'cause we're small crew.
00:36:39.76\00:36:43.67
We're not more currently
than about seven people.
00:36:43.70\00:36:46.74
Seven people?
00:36:46.77\00:36:48.10
And so we're not
able to do 24 hours alone,
00:36:48.14\00:36:51.04
but together the
program we receive,
00:36:51.07\00:36:53.48
we have a 24-hour lineup
00:36:53.51\00:36:54.84
and have been broadcasting
for satellite in 14 years
00:36:54.88\00:36:58.08
and now focusing on
internet streaming, apps,
00:36:58.11\00:37:02.45
and getting out to an
even broader community
00:37:02.48\00:37:05.19
of people and younger as well.
00:37:05.22\00:37:06.76
And so, it's a great reach,
00:37:06.79\00:37:09.36
but what is really
unique as well, Greg,
00:37:09.39\00:37:12.09
is this connection and
that the retreat center
00:37:12.13\00:37:14.90
is providing to be
able to have seminars
00:37:14.93\00:37:18.13
where we can invite
people that we have contact
00:37:18.17\00:37:21.14
with through the media to
come in for local seminars
00:37:21.17\00:37:24.11
and in that way,
make personal contact,
00:37:24.14\00:37:27.51
'cause that's one of the things
that I'm sure you also said,
00:37:27.58\00:37:30.15
you always wish, you
could see beyond that,
00:37:30.18\00:37:32.81
you don't have that contact
00:37:32.85\00:37:34.98
with the people
on the other side.
00:37:35.02\00:37:36.62
And the retreat center is
providing that opportunity
00:37:36.69\00:37:39.42
to now start making
different types of seminars
00:37:39.45\00:37:42.56
and other things
where people can come in
00:37:42.59\00:37:44.43
and so we can connect personally
00:37:44.46\00:37:45.86
with some of the viewers
00:37:45.89\00:37:47.23
we've had
contact with for years.
00:37:47.30\00:37:48.63
And the Lord provided
that 'cause you've set up
00:37:48.66\00:37:50.00
all those little
hotel or little rooms,
00:37:50.03\00:37:51.70
the retreat rooms
00:37:51.73\00:37:53.13
with everything
there you're ready for it.
00:37:53.17\00:37:54.67
It's incredible.
00:37:54.70\00:37:56.50
What a blessing, you know,
to think you have this reach
00:37:56.54\00:37:59.11
to reach the
world and Scandinavia,
00:37:59.14\00:38:01.21
but also you're
reaching in your community.
00:38:01.24\00:38:04.38
And I love that, the combination
00:38:04.41\00:38:06.45
of outreach
locally around there,
00:38:06.48\00:38:08.55
and then
globally and that's what
00:38:08.58\00:38:10.52
God really called us to do.
00:38:10.59\00:38:11.92
Where we just did
the Christmas dinners
00:38:11.95\00:38:13.86
and you have a
couple of pictures there
00:38:13.89\00:38:15.72
from inviting
people in the community in
00:38:15.76\00:38:18.13
for a plant-based
vegetarian Christmas dinner
00:38:18.16\00:38:21.90
in a community
00:38:21.93\00:38:23.26
that are not very
used to vegetarian.
00:38:23.30\00:38:27.04
And yet they were
so open, you know,
00:38:27.07\00:38:29.10
and so we had two
sittings on a Sunday,
00:38:29.14\00:38:32.24
people will come in
and they would actually pay
00:38:32.27\00:38:34.11
for being in there about
$40, $50 for plate, you know,
00:38:34.18\00:38:38.78
and be there for
a couple of hours
00:38:38.81\00:38:41.08
and just had
wonderful contact with people
00:38:41.12\00:38:43.28
and we're so happy to be there.
00:38:43.32\00:38:45.19
And some of the
neighbors coming in,
00:38:45.22\00:38:47.06
it was quite
interesting as a way,
00:38:47.09\00:38:49.06
and I remember one of
them particularly it's like,
00:38:49.09\00:38:52.36
just so we're clear
here, I'm not a vegetarian,
00:38:52.39\00:38:55.83
but I'm here because
I'm interested in seeing
00:38:55.86\00:38:58.07
what you're doing.
00:38:58.10\00:38:59.43
Well, it goes fine, you know.
00:38:59.47\00:39:00.84
And not even that
he wasn't a vegetarian,
00:39:00.87\00:39:02.20
but he wasn't fond of
vegetarian food either.
00:39:02.24\00:39:05.54
He was just coming to
see what we were doing.
00:39:05.57\00:39:07.81
What did he think at the end?
00:39:07.84\00:39:09.18
I have the words, he's like,
00:39:09.21\00:39:10.68
"I went to another
Christmas dinner yesterday.
00:39:10.75\00:39:13.08
This is a lot better
00:39:13.11\00:39:14.45
and the other one
wasn't vegetarian.
00:39:14.48\00:39:15.82
This is great."
00:39:15.85\00:39:17.19
And he was just so love that.
00:39:17.22\00:39:18.55
And so we sign people
up for cooking courses
00:39:18.59\00:39:21.46
doing the same thing.
00:39:21.49\00:39:22.82
And so, Theresa, as
soon as we get back home,
00:39:22.86\00:39:24.23
she's gonna
start cooking classes
00:39:24.26\00:39:25.63
in the community
00:39:25.66\00:39:27.00
where people have
signed up to come.
00:39:27.03\00:39:28.36
And I think that, you know,
00:39:28.40\00:39:30.57
as we are
anchored in the community,
00:39:30.60\00:39:32.93
it gives us
material to reach out further
00:39:32.97\00:39:36.64
'cause if we don't have
any contact with people,
00:39:36.71\00:39:39.41
we don't know what
people think what they need,
00:39:39.44\00:39:42.18
how to reach them,
00:39:42.21\00:39:43.55
and this gives
us that opportunity.
00:39:43.58\00:39:45.01
Amen.
00:39:45.05\00:39:46.38
I think that's the
other thing that what we found
00:39:46.41\00:39:48.38
a couple of
years ago is we needed
00:39:48.42\00:39:50.92
something physically to connect.
00:39:50.99\00:39:54.62
And so we
developed a small magazine
00:39:54.66\00:39:58.06
as a sharing
magazine with focus on health.
00:39:58.09\00:40:00.80
It's called LifeStyle View.
00:40:00.83\00:40:02.83
And so this magazine has
health, lifestyle articles,
00:40:02.86\00:40:06.60
family-related
articles, recipes at the end,
00:40:06.63\00:40:10.91
and it's given out free.
00:40:10.94\00:40:12.47
So people are sharing it,
just giving it passing it out,
00:40:12.51\00:40:15.08
but you can also subscribe
00:40:15.11\00:40:16.44
and get it home in your mailbox.
00:40:16.48\00:40:18.61
And so this is providing
a connection to those people
00:40:18.65\00:40:23.25
and introducing
them then to TV programs
00:40:23.28\00:40:25.85
and other resources.
00:40:25.89\00:40:27.26
I think most of one
wants to be healthy.
00:40:27.29\00:40:29.26
Yeah. What do
you think about that?
00:40:29.29\00:40:30.63
You know, everyone
wants to be in good health.
00:40:30.66\00:40:31.99
So this is actually providing,
00:40:32.03\00:40:33.80
you know, for a
need that's out there.
00:40:33.83\00:40:35.70
So that's fantastic. Go ahead.
00:40:35.73\00:40:39.40
Talk to us about some of
your vision for the future?
00:40:39.43\00:40:41.60
We've been talking
about what has taken place,
00:40:41.64\00:40:43.71
what God has been
doing in the ministry.
00:40:43.74\00:40:46.17
Talk to us about some
of your plans and vision?
00:40:46.21\00:40:49.31
Well, I mean, one of
the plans just to start
00:40:49.34\00:40:51.48
as we're
talking with the retreat
00:40:51.51\00:40:52.85
is that we will be starting
00:40:52.88\00:40:54.38
the retreat part
of the center now
00:40:54.42\00:40:56.45
so that we actually can have
different types of conferences,
00:40:56.48\00:40:59.15
bed and
breakfast, and other things,
00:40:59.19\00:41:00.56
and we'll also help
provide a financial income
00:41:00.59\00:41:02.42
for the ministry to help...
00:41:02.46\00:41:04.33
The support. The support for it.
00:41:04.36\00:41:07.43
And then I think the
big thing, of course,
00:41:07.50\00:41:09.53
we're really looking forward
to is start in the big studio.
00:41:09.56\00:41:13.27
We've just gotten
the floor we done,
00:41:13.34\00:41:14.97
we're hanging lights,
00:41:15.00\00:41:16.34
and we're gonna be
building the sets now
00:41:16.37\00:41:18.24
as soon as we get back home.
00:41:18.27\00:41:19.64
So to get that
fully going again,
00:41:19.67\00:41:22.18
and see a bigger
variety of programs
00:41:22.21\00:41:24.55
that we can do
than what we could
00:41:24.58\00:41:25.91
in our small studio before.
00:41:25.95\00:41:27.85
Music, of course, is
gonna be one of the things
00:41:27.88\00:41:30.52
we could never do
before where we were,
00:41:30.59\00:41:32.22
and now we have
this amazing place
00:41:32.25\00:41:34.89
to do music recordings.
00:41:34.92\00:41:37.26
And so we look
forward to do that.
00:41:37.33\00:41:39.89
We wanna try and
experiment with the connection
00:41:39.93\00:41:43.20
between the retreat center
00:41:43.23\00:41:44.67
and the media center
by doing reality shows.
00:41:44.70\00:41:48.87
So for example, do a
lifestyle intervention
00:41:48.90\00:41:51.91
where you have
medical professionals,
00:41:51.94\00:41:53.88
you have people with
lifestyle issues come in,
00:41:53.91\00:41:57.45
stay there in
the retreat center,
00:41:57.48\00:41:59.31
and so over a period of 10
days or something like that,
00:41:59.35\00:42:02.48
see what medical
professionals can do
00:42:02.52\00:42:04.99
by changing their lifestyle.
00:42:05.02\00:42:07.36
And rather than always
just focus on the lectures,
00:42:07.39\00:42:10.86
focus on the
experience of the person,
00:42:10.93\00:42:12.86
you know, and follow
them in a reality style show
00:42:12.89\00:42:16.23
where you follow the actual
experience of the participants.
00:42:16.26\00:42:18.47
So some of those
things, we wanna see
00:42:18.50\00:42:20.64
how we can do some of those...
00:42:20.67\00:42:22.57
How do you actually
tie in then the spiritual
00:42:22.60\00:42:24.37
'cause you
mentioned earlier, Theresa,
00:42:24.41\00:42:25.74
it's very secular
there, Scandinavia.
00:42:25.77\00:42:27.48
So how do you
then tie the spiritual?
00:42:27.51\00:42:29.34
Because I mean, you all
are Seventh-day Adventists,
00:42:29.38\00:42:31.28
you know,
believe in the message.
00:42:31.31\00:42:32.65
So how do you tie all that in?
00:42:32.68\00:42:34.02
Well, you know, we believe
that we are a whole person
00:42:34.05\00:42:37.22
and health revolves not
just around our physical being,
00:42:37.29\00:42:40.26
but we have a mental component,
00:42:40.29\00:42:41.69
and we have a
spiritual component.
00:42:41.72\00:42:43.43
That's very important.
00:42:43.46\00:42:45.06
And even people in
secular countries believe
00:42:45.09\00:42:48.30
there is a spiritual component.
00:42:48.33\00:42:49.70
Now maybe, they may go looking
somewhere else to fulfill that,
00:42:49.73\00:42:53.03
but we believe that
what we have to offer
00:42:53.07\00:42:55.87
what God has given us
is the missing component
00:42:55.90\00:42:59.91
that many
people are looking for,
00:42:59.94\00:43:01.94
like in our magazine that we do.
00:43:01.98\00:43:04.38
There's not necessarily
an overtly spiritual article
00:43:04.41\00:43:09.38
that talks about
will come to Christ,
00:43:09.42\00:43:11.59
but we include it.
00:43:11.62\00:43:12.95
We talk about the
Creator, we talk about that
00:43:12.99\00:43:15.69
we were designed
that there is a plan.
00:43:15.72\00:43:18.73
We even have had the privilege
of sharing one of your stories,
00:43:18.76\00:43:21.26
Jill, in there,
and talking about
00:43:21.30\00:43:24.67
how you found
strength in a difficult time
00:43:24.70\00:43:27.54
through your
relationship with God
00:43:27.57\00:43:29.20
and introducing
people in that way
00:43:29.24\00:43:31.81
to the spiritual
component as well.
00:43:31.84\00:43:34.51
Now, of course, when
it comes to television,
00:43:34.54\00:43:37.91
we produce Revelation
series and the broad spectrum
00:43:37.95\00:43:42.65
of everything possible,
but when it comes to health,
00:43:42.68\00:43:45.22
we make sure we still
include the spiritual element
00:43:45.25\00:43:47.92
because it's we need...
00:43:47.96\00:43:49.29
You know, it's interesting.
I'm thinking, the reality...
00:43:49.32\00:43:50.66
Which show you're talking about?
00:43:50.73\00:43:52.16
Just thinking
here, I have to share
00:43:52.19\00:43:54.10
a testimony that we got.
00:43:54.13\00:43:56.77
We just had a viewer write
in just a couple of weeks ago.
00:43:56.80\00:44:00.14
And I translated it,
he writes in Norwegian.
00:44:00.17\00:44:02.94
Okay.
00:44:02.97\00:44:04.31
But this is what he writes here.
00:44:04.34\00:44:05.67
"Thanks for a lot
of good information
00:44:05.71\00:44:08.28
about health and other things.
00:44:08.31\00:44:10.88
I have been
following your program
00:44:10.95\00:44:14.15
when I was in prison
for one year here in Norway.
00:44:14.22\00:44:17.85
In my cell, I had LifeStyleTV.
00:44:17.89\00:44:21.72
It's a channel I
hadn't seen before.
00:44:21.76\00:44:25.13
With a motivation from
you, I tried food without meat,
00:44:25.16\00:44:29.43
and I became a vegetarian,
and I don't regret it.
00:44:29.46\00:44:33.94
Thank you.
00:44:33.97\00:44:35.30
I have recommended to my family
00:44:35.34\00:44:37.84
and close friends
to follow your channel.
00:44:37.87\00:44:41.08
And I continue
to follow it myself.
00:44:41.11\00:44:43.95
As I said, I watched
a lot of your channel
00:44:43.98\00:44:46.85
including programs of
the Christian message,
00:44:46.92\00:44:50.39
and it has helped me a lot.
00:44:50.42\00:44:52.99
There was one
program in particular,
00:44:53.02\00:44:55.16
was several episodes by a pastor
00:44:55.19\00:44:57.43
who talked a lot
about Revelation.
00:44:57.46\00:45:00.70
It was very interesting,
and has meant a lot to me.
00:45:00.73\00:45:04.80
Thank you very much
00:45:04.83\00:45:06.17
for all the good information
about body and soul."
00:45:06.20\00:45:09.40
So there you
see this combination
00:45:09.44\00:45:11.37
of somebody coming
00:45:11.41\00:45:12.81
and finding an
interest in health,
00:45:12.84\00:45:15.11
becoming interested in
and sharing with family,
00:45:15.14\00:45:17.85
but then also getting
the spiritual awakening
00:45:17.88\00:45:21.12
and beginning to
watch and see that
00:45:21.15\00:45:22.85
there is other parts
of a healthy lifestyle
00:45:22.88\00:45:26.25
that includes the mind,
00:45:26.29\00:45:28.66
includes the soul
and the gifts as a whole
00:45:28.69\00:45:31.66
and sets him free
in a different way.
00:45:31.69\00:45:34.66
And that's really the...
00:45:34.70\00:45:36.67
That warms your
heart, doesn't it?
00:45:36.70\00:45:38.10
It's all worth it.
00:45:38.13\00:45:39.47
You know, and
looking specifically
00:45:39.50\00:45:41.24
you mentioned
about the reality show,
00:45:41.27\00:45:43.20
looking specifically at
the spiritual elements there.
00:45:43.24\00:45:46.24
We know that forgiveness
that dealing with hurt and pain
00:45:46.27\00:45:52.05
and bitterness,
all of these things.
00:45:52.08\00:45:54.12
Those are principles
that science has validated,
00:45:54.15\00:45:57.52
everybody agrees with it.
00:45:57.59\00:45:59.15
We can include that.
00:45:59.19\00:46:00.56
We can show them a lifeline
when they're lacking strength
00:46:00.59\00:46:04.39
to be able to make changes.
00:46:04.43\00:46:06.19
It's not easy to
change habits. Not at all.
00:46:06.23\00:46:08.80
Even myself, who doesn't
think I have so many bad habits
00:46:08.83\00:46:12.40
find it
difficult to make changes.
00:46:12.43\00:46:15.07
No, that's very true.
00:46:15.10\00:46:16.81
So tell us about your needs.
00:46:16.84\00:46:18.31
Do you have any
needs there at LifeStyleTV?
00:46:18.34\00:46:20.68
Well, and I don't
know if this necessary...
00:46:20.71\00:46:22.64
Well, it's a need,
and it's an opportunity.
00:46:22.68\00:46:24.65
Okay.
00:46:24.68\00:46:26.01
Because one of the
things that we have enjoyed
00:46:26.05\00:46:28.55
from the very beginning
when we started LifeStyleTV
00:46:28.58\00:46:30.89
has been to work
with young people.
00:46:30.92\00:46:33.05
And I think, a lot of
the vision to do this.
00:46:33.09\00:46:37.53
We got from when we were here.
00:46:37.56\00:46:39.33
We felt that when we were
here, we were able to come
00:46:39.36\00:46:42.80
and learn some things,
and then go out and start.
00:46:42.83\00:46:45.97
And we decided from
the beginning, said,
00:46:46.00\00:46:48.77
we want to be
able to help others
00:46:48.80\00:46:50.51
to get inspiration to
take something with them.
00:46:50.54\00:46:52.94
And so we wanted to do something
00:46:52.97\00:46:54.31
where we could
include young people
00:46:54.34\00:46:55.68
that could come in for a year
00:46:55.71\00:46:57.65
and experience
something and go out themselves
00:46:57.68\00:46:59.78
and be inspired to
get involved and media.
00:46:59.81\00:47:03.59
And so, before we've had
00:47:03.62\00:47:06.29
a medium
missionary training program,
00:47:06.32\00:47:08.49
that's been a one year program.
00:47:08.52\00:47:10.43
We're changing a
little bit in the direction
00:47:10.46\00:47:12.96
to become more
of an apprenticeship
00:47:12.99\00:47:15.00
volunteer program.
00:47:15.03\00:47:17.17
And so we have partnered up
00:47:17.20\00:47:18.70
with Adventist
Volunteer Services
00:47:18.73\00:47:21.84
at the General Conference
00:47:21.87\00:47:23.51
and providing the
opportunity for young people,
00:47:23.54\00:47:27.31
young professionals,
00:47:27.38\00:47:29.31
who typically
would have gone through
00:47:29.34\00:47:30.68
maybe one of our schools,
colleges, taking a degree
00:47:30.75\00:47:33.92
or just have had
extensive experience
00:47:33.95\00:47:35.92
from personal experience
00:47:35.95\00:47:37.59
all the way in
media primarily, you know,
00:47:37.62\00:47:41.32
and it's
anything from filmmaking,
00:47:41.36\00:47:44.16
camera, editing, audio,
00:47:44.23\00:47:47.10
you know, all of
the communication,
00:47:47.13\00:47:49.20
advertising...
00:47:49.23\00:47:51.13
And all the social media today.
00:47:51.17\00:47:53.47
You know, all of
these things and so...
00:47:53.54\00:47:54.87
It's a big thing.
00:47:54.90\00:47:56.24
So one of our big
appeals and the options
00:47:56.27\00:47:58.57
that we're providing
is to say young people
00:47:58.61\00:48:00.58
that have gone through
something like that and say,
00:48:00.61\00:48:02.31
"I would like to
spend a year overseas.
00:48:02.34\00:48:05.28
I would like to
get some experience,
00:48:05.31\00:48:07.42
work with some real project,
not just school projects."
00:48:07.45\00:48:11.12
That's an
opportunity for them to come.
00:48:11.15\00:48:13.36
They pay their own way,
00:48:13.39\00:48:14.72
we take care of
all expenses there.
00:48:14.76\00:48:16.59
And they have a full
year where they can learn,
00:48:16.62\00:48:18.86
they can immerse
themselves, learn new cultures,
00:48:18.89\00:48:21.33
get something on,
write on their CV,
00:48:21.36\00:48:23.13
that I did something, you
know, on overseas country,
00:48:23.16\00:48:25.77
that's something that a
lot of employers look at
00:48:25.80\00:48:27.77
and is very valuable.
00:48:27.80\00:48:29.37
And that gives an opportunity
to work with a team...
00:48:29.40\00:48:32.11
Right, it gives a
mission experience too
00:48:36.38\00:48:38.21
because though we
have a media center
00:48:38.25\00:48:41.22
and everything like
that, we're still faith based.
00:48:41.25\00:48:44.09
We still rely on
God's help all along the way
00:48:44.12\00:48:47.16
and it would give,
00:48:47.19\00:48:48.52
it gives such a rich experience
to work in an environment.
00:48:48.56\00:48:51.23
Yeah, in ministry. Exactly.
00:48:51.26\00:48:53.06
And the thing then
that is also unique
00:48:53.09\00:48:55.46
now as we've talked
a bit about this aspect
00:48:55.50\00:48:57.60
with the retreat center is that
00:48:57.63\00:48:59.60
is not just the
media skills right now,
00:48:59.63\00:49:01.77
but the skills of people
that maybe are into cooking,
00:49:01.80\00:49:05.97
you know, maybe
as chef education,
00:49:06.01\00:49:07.98
hospitality
education, some of the areas
00:49:08.01\00:49:11.88
that I'm working with people,
00:49:11.91\00:49:14.62
it could be massage
therapists, personal trainer,
00:49:14.65\00:49:18.42
physical therapists, you know,
some of those that could go in
00:49:18.45\00:49:20.86
and be part of a retreat center,
00:49:20.89\00:49:22.39
part of the spa
centers as you said,
00:49:22.42\00:49:24.36
there with the full
spa, sauna and all of that.
00:49:24.39\00:49:26.80
Some of them may be even
clean or do laundry volunteers?
00:49:26.83\00:49:30.67
Those areas are
just as important
00:49:30.70\00:49:33.03
and those are areas
00:49:33.07\00:49:34.40
you could be
part of helping with,
00:49:34.44\00:49:35.77
you know, and so.
00:49:35.80\00:49:37.14
Someone, okay, so
someone at home right now,
00:49:37.21\00:49:38.84
maybe you, you're saying,
00:49:38.87\00:49:40.88
"Wow, I'm not
19, 20, 25 anymore,
00:49:40.91\00:49:43.85
but I'm a little
bit older than that."
00:49:43.88\00:49:46.05
Should they still
contact you? It's not a problem.
00:49:46.08\00:49:47.82
If you wanna
spend a year and say,
00:49:47.85\00:49:49.38
I wanna take a year
as a volunteer and...
00:49:49.42\00:49:51.29
And help in the retreat center.
00:49:51.32\00:49:52.65
And helping, whether it's
media or in the retreat center,
00:49:52.69\00:49:55.59
contact us and use the address
00:49:55.62\00:49:57.23
on the screen
there Info@LifeStyleTV.se
00:49:57.26\00:50:01.20
that email address
goes directly to us,
00:50:01.23\00:50:04.07
and they could write us there,
00:50:04.10\00:50:05.80
tell us about
yourself, ask about it.
00:50:05.83\00:50:08.00
And we will send
you more information
00:50:08.04\00:50:09.50
and connect with that.
00:50:09.54\00:50:10.91
So the address one more
time is Info@LifeStyleTV.se
00:50:10.94\00:50:16.34
'cause I know we have
people listening on the radio
00:50:16.38\00:50:18.15
as well as
watching on television.
00:50:18.18\00:50:20.42
So Info@LifeStyleTV.se
You know what?
00:50:20.45\00:50:23.49
I think there's
gonna be a waiting list.
00:50:23.52\00:50:25.05
So I'm gonna say you
better hurry up and contact.
00:50:25.09\00:50:28.06
You're gonna sign up, Greg?
00:50:28.09\00:50:30.23
We went there
and it was too short.
00:50:30.26\00:50:32.53
What a blessed
time we had. It was.
00:50:32.56\00:50:33.90
We need to come back and visit.
00:50:33.93\00:50:35.26
And we're getting
ready to put the address up,
00:50:35.30\00:50:37.00
our address role
00:50:37.07\00:50:38.40
and it has a lot of
contact information,
00:50:38.43\00:50:39.77
which we'll talk about
in just a minute or so.
00:50:39.80\00:50:41.54
Right. Absolutely.
00:50:41.57\00:50:42.90
I remember when you
both were here at 3ABN
00:50:42.94\00:50:45.24
and your vision
especially with young people...
00:50:45.27\00:50:48.31
Yeah, heart for young people.
00:50:48.34\00:50:49.68
I remember that,
heart for young people.
00:50:49.71\00:50:51.05
I remember them beginning
group in our local church
00:50:51.08\00:50:54.82
with the young people and
organizing things for them.
00:50:54.85\00:50:57.89
So it's obvious that
you both have a passion
00:50:57.92\00:51:00.79
to reach the world, a
passion for young people.
00:51:00.86\00:51:04.03
So we are excited
about what God is doing in
00:51:04.06\00:51:07.00
and through the
ministry of LifeStyleTV.
00:51:07.03\00:51:10.10
We're thrilled that the building
00:51:10.17\00:51:12.00
that God provided for you.
00:51:12.03\00:51:14.27
And just to see the outreach
00:51:14.30\00:51:15.97
you're doing in
the local community,
00:51:16.00\00:51:17.94
and across Scandinavia
and around the world.
00:51:17.97\00:51:20.58
So we wanna give
you at home right now,
00:51:20.61\00:51:22.94
the opportunity to
partner with LifeStyleTV,
00:51:22.98\00:51:26.65
if you would like to
financially support them.
00:51:26.72\00:51:28.78
We know as Theresa mentioned,
00:51:28.82\00:51:30.29
they are a faith based ministry.
00:51:30.32\00:51:32.52
So your donations
would be such a blessing
00:51:32.55\00:51:35.99
to help fund this ministry.
00:51:36.02\00:51:37.79
If you want to be a
young professional to go
00:51:37.83\00:51:40.70
and to get involved for a
year in this mission service,
00:51:40.73\00:51:44.97
here is the way that
you can contact them.
00:51:45.00\00:51:47.04
The address is in the States,
but you will need to make sure
00:51:47.07\00:51:50.94
you put on your
check or when you donate,
00:51:50.97\00:51:53.98
it needs to say
LifeStyleTV on that.
00:51:54.01\00:51:57.45
And you know the
reason that is in the State is
00:51:57.48\00:51:59.58
so that you can get a
tax deductible receipt
00:51:59.61\00:52:02.18
for American donors.
00:52:02.22\00:52:03.59
And on the
address role we go to,
00:52:03.62\00:52:04.95
have the website
which you can go to
00:52:04.99\00:52:06.59
and donate there online as well,
00:52:06.62\00:52:07.96
any part of the world.
00:52:07.99\00:52:09.32
Perfect, all right,
let's go to that now.
