We are so glad
that you have joined us,
00:01:17.84\00:01:19.37
and you know what?
00:01:19.41\00:01:20.74
Thank you for being

00:01:20.78\00:01:23.08
It's always nice and fun to
spend this one hour with you
00:01:23.11\00:01:25.85
each and every day.
00:01:25.88\00:01:27.22
And thank you for allowing
us into your living room.
00:01:27.25\00:01:29.38
Maybe you're
watching us on your cell phone
00:01:29.42\00:01:32.05
or your tablet
or maybe listening
00:01:32.09\00:01:33.96
on the radio online,
00:01:33.99\00:01:35.39
however that is,
you're part of our family
00:01:35.42\00:01:37.66
but most importantly
part of God's family.
00:01:37.69\00:01:39.89
Amen.
00:01:39.93\00:01:41.26
And today, Jill
and I are so excited
00:01:41.30\00:01:42.63
about today's programs
about Cuba and an update
00:01:42.66\00:01:45.33
because 3ABN has
launched in Cuba.
00:01:45.37\00:01:48.74
Yay, praise the Lord.
00:01:48.77\00:01:50.11
Jill's going to
introduce some of the family
00:01:50.14\00:01:51.47
that with us today.
00:01:51.51\00:01:52.84
Going to be
giving us the update,
00:01:52.87\00:01:54.38
but I've been
thinking about the world,
00:01:54.41\00:01:56.75
you know, it seems like
the world is in so much turmoil
00:01:56.78\00:01:59.55
and so many things going on,
and a lot of people are trying
00:01:59.58\00:02:02.38
to find the truth there.
00:02:02.42\00:02:03.79
What is going on, want
to know what's happening,
00:02:03.82\00:02:06.45
and some people
don't really know
00:02:06.49\00:02:07.82
where to turn.
00:02:07.86\00:02:09.19
You know, when I
think about the gospel
00:02:09.22\00:02:10.56
being like water
or truth like a water.
00:02:10.59\00:02:14.36
And the other day,
00:02:14.40\00:02:16.63
I was just going to
share this with you.
00:02:16.67\00:02:18.17
I ran out of the water
while I was working hard.
00:02:18.20\00:02:20.24
I was working on a project
00:02:20.27\00:02:21.60
and I brought my
gallon jug of water
00:02:21.64\00:02:23.20
and was drinking it because here
00:02:23.24\00:02:24.57
in Southern
Illinois, it's very humid.
00:02:24.61\00:02:26.27
And I sweat a lot
and drinking this water
00:02:26.31\00:02:29.04
and I realized wow,
00:02:29.08\00:02:30.41
I have a lot
more on this project,
00:02:30.45\00:02:32.21
but I'm running out of water.
00:02:32.25\00:02:33.68
So then I started
rationing my water.
00:02:33.72\00:02:35.78
And I started okay,
I'll just drink a little bit
00:02:35.82\00:02:37.39
and a little
bit, and a little bit.
00:02:37.42\00:02:39.15
And then I became a little
bit, not panic but it was like,
00:02:39.19\00:02:41.56
man, what am I going
to do, I have no water.
00:02:41.59\00:02:44.36
You know, there are people
that have a God sized hole
00:02:44.39\00:02:48.00
so to speak or God's
size yearning inside of them
00:02:48.03\00:02:51.20
and they don't
know exactly what it is.
00:02:51.23\00:02:53.23
But as 3ABN reaches the
world and provides information,
00:02:53.27\00:02:56.60
then people will find that
water of life and that thirst,
00:02:56.64\00:03:00.01
that hole, that
void that's inside
00:03:00.04\00:03:01.78
and they can fill it.
00:03:01.81\00:03:03.24
And the beautiful thing,
00:03:03.28\00:03:04.61
God's water
never runs out, right?
00:03:04.65\00:03:06.31
So my water here on this earth,
I was kind of running low,
00:03:06.35\00:03:08.68
but the water
that we can provide
00:03:08.72\00:03:10.82
from the Word of
God, it'll never stop.
00:03:10.85\00:03:14.16
So the whole mission
and commission of 3ABN
00:03:14.19\00:03:16.73
is to share that and
just put it out there,
00:03:16.76\00:03:19.23
and people will come
across it not accidentally,
00:03:19.26\00:03:22.46
but divine providence,
00:03:22.50\00:03:23.83
they'll find the
truth through 3ABN
00:03:23.87\00:03:26.27
as we preach the
undiluted three angels' messages
00:03:26.30\00:03:28.37
of Revelation Chapter 14,
00:03:28.40\00:03:29.80
but, of course,
the entire Bible.
00:03:29.84\00:03:31.74
And that's what's
exciting to me about Cuba
00:03:31.77\00:03:34.04
because there is a
whole country that is,
00:03:34.08\00:03:38.01
I wouldn't say
the whole population
00:03:38.05\00:03:39.38
because we have Seventh-day
Adventist Christians there,
00:03:39.41\00:03:40.82
but there's a lot of people
that are looking for something.
00:03:40.85\00:03:43.45
Countries may be in
turmoil trying to find answers,
00:03:43.49\00:03:46.05
but there are
answers in God's Word.
00:03:46.09\00:03:48.42
And this is what's so
exciting because us being there
00:03:48.46\00:03:51.29
and launching there.
00:03:51.33\00:03:52.66
It's a miracle of
the Lord for sure.
00:03:52.69\00:03:54.73
It's exciting times we live in.
00:03:54.76\00:03:56.10
It is exciting times.
00:03:56.13\00:03:57.47
I want to share a
scripture and then we're jumping
00:03:57.50\00:03:59.13
in and
introducing our family here.
00:03:59.17\00:04:01.67
This is Romans 10:14,
"How shall they call on Him
00:04:01.70\00:04:07.04
in whom they have not believed?
00:04:07.08\00:04:09.94
And how shall
they believe in Him
00:04:09.98\00:04:11.78
of whom they have not heard?
00:04:11.81\00:04:14.15
And how shall they
hear without a preacher?
00:04:14.18\00:04:17.55
And how shall they
preach unless they are sent?"
00:04:17.59\00:04:21.22
So God has called
the Ministry of 3ABN
00:04:21.26\00:04:24.96
to be the hands
and feet of Jesus
00:04:24.99\00:04:26.56
to go and proclaim this gospel.
00:04:26.59\00:04:29.66
God has called 3ABN
Latino in particular,
00:04:29.70\00:04:33.47
to go to 3ABN Cuba
and launch on the package
00:04:33.50\00:04:36.60
because how are people
going to know about Jesus
00:04:36.64\00:04:38.94
unless they hear that message?
00:04:38.97\00:04:40.88
So we have with us
Chaplain Hernell Hernandez,
00:04:40.91\00:04:44.15
who's the assistant
director for 3ABN Cuba,
00:04:44.18\00:04:47.05
was instrumental in
helping 3ABN launch in Cuba.
00:04:47.08\00:04:52.35
And we're just excited
to have you here, Brother,
00:04:52.39\00:04:54.42
and looking
forward to the reports.
00:04:54.46\00:04:56.76
Oh, certainly.
00:04:56.79\00:04:59.03
I would like to say thank
you for the Almighty to use me
00:04:59.06\00:05:04.13
like any other single people.
00:05:04.17\00:05:06.84
So, once again, I
feel, I don't know,
00:05:06.87\00:05:12.64
it is true
Hernell, we really have,
00:05:12.67\00:05:14.98
because we
dreamed for so many years.
00:05:15.01\00:05:17.95
Thousands of people want
to know, the opportunity,
00:05:17.98\00:05:21.58
like one pastor
say, I will like someday
00:05:21.62\00:05:24.69
we'll be like other countries,
00:05:24.72\00:05:27.42
you know, access to
opportunity to read,
00:05:27.46\00:05:31.23
to listen the
Word of God plainly,
00:05:31.26\00:05:34.16
and we don't need to
pray more asking for.
00:05:34.20\00:05:37.83
Now it's time to say
God, thank You so much
00:05:37.87\00:05:40.70
where we really
have this blessing.
00:05:40.74\00:05:42.94
So it is amazing how
the Lord opened this door.
00:05:42.97\00:05:48.64
If you, Pastor
Dinzey, maybe agree with me.
00:05:48.68\00:05:54.08
We chose the more terrible time
00:05:54.12\00:05:58.75
to start the promo
of 3ABN Latino in Cuba,
00:05:58.79\00:06:04.19
because launching
them in the beginning
00:06:04.23\00:06:06.23
of the pandemia.
00:06:06.26\00:06:07.80
So no makes sense.
00:06:07.83\00:06:09.36
You know, in human perspective,
say, well, let's do it now.
00:06:09.40\00:06:14.04
But the Lord said, "I
want you go over there."
00:06:14.07\00:06:17.74
I mean, him and me,
and you guys by faith,
00:06:17.77\00:06:21.54
because someone's, you,
you invite in this adventure,
00:06:21.58\00:06:25.68
and someone say, well,
00:06:25.71\00:06:27.65
I think you have to wait a
little bit until this point.
00:06:27.68\00:06:30.19
No, no, no, no.
00:06:30.22\00:06:31.55
Let's go now and do it now.
00:06:31.59\00:06:33.05
So it is amazing how
the Lord little by little
00:06:33.09\00:06:38.56
with obstacles and many things.
00:06:38.59\00:06:41.10
But He's at front.
00:06:41.13\00:06:43.06
Amen.
00:06:43.10\00:06:44.43
In the midst of the
pandemic, in the midst of COVID,
00:06:44.47\00:06:47.20
3ABN launched as the
first ever Christian channel
00:06:47.24\00:06:51.47
on the package in Cuba.
00:06:51.51\00:06:52.84
So our other guest family member
00:06:52.87\00:06:55.61
is Pastor John Dinzey,
00:06:55.64\00:06:56.98
who, of course, is the
general manager of 3ABN Latino,
00:06:57.01\00:06:59.88
and director of 3ABN Cuba
00:06:59.91\00:07:02.18
and just delighted to
have you here Pastor Johnny.
00:07:02.22\00:07:04.89
Why don't you tell
us, what is the packaging?
00:07:04.92\00:07:07.66
And what does that
mean 3ABN on the package?
00:07:07.69\00:07:10.89
That's a very good question.
00:07:10.93\00:07:12.73
When we talk about the package,
00:07:12.76\00:07:14.10
we're talking about a
TV package of programming
00:07:14.13\00:07:17.43
that is available
to the Cuban people.
00:07:17.47\00:07:20.94
By them bringing a memory,
whether it's a hard drive
00:07:20.97\00:07:24.44
or a thumb drive to a place
where they sell the package.
00:07:24.47\00:07:29.04
And what is the package?
00:07:29.08\00:07:30.95
Well, in Cuba, unfortunately,
there's not cable television.
00:07:30.98\00:07:36.45
You say unfortunately,
maybe fortunately,
00:07:36.48\00:07:38.65
but they don't
have cable television.
00:07:38.69\00:07:41.36
They have television,
three national channels
00:07:41.39\00:07:45.39
that is broadcast by
the Cuban government.
00:07:45.43\00:07:48.66
And, but you
know how people are,
00:07:48.70\00:07:50.70
as we said in
some other programs,
00:07:50.73\00:07:52.33
people always want more.
00:07:52.37\00:07:53.80
Oh, yes. That's right.
00:07:53.84\00:07:55.17
So they came up with the idea
00:07:55.20\00:08:00.44
of gathering programming
from other countries,
00:08:00.48\00:08:03.41
and making it
available to people,
00:08:03.45\00:08:06.51
by them bringing their
thumb drives or hard drive.
00:08:06.55\00:08:10.19
And we're talking
about practically anything
00:08:10.22\00:08:12.89
that you may want to
watch, whether it's music,
00:08:12.92\00:08:16.52
soap operas, movies, music...
00:08:16.56\00:08:20.63
Sports.
00:08:20.66\00:08:22.00
Sports, they're all
available under package.
00:08:22.03\00:08:24.27
Every week, a new
set of programming
00:08:24.30\00:08:29.30
is released into
every single city in Cuba.
00:08:29.34\00:08:32.94
So they've been at
this for several years.
00:08:32.97\00:08:34.98
So they have come up
00:08:35.01\00:08:36.91
with an
excellent way of execution.
00:08:36.95\00:08:40.38
You know, it goes this point
to that point to that point.
00:08:40.42\00:08:42.68
And within a matter
of two or three days,
00:08:42.72\00:08:45.62
the whole country
has the programming
00:08:45.65\00:08:48.79
for that particular week.
00:08:48.82\00:08:50.16
Wow.
00:08:50.19\00:08:51.53
So each week, each
package that is released
00:08:51.56\00:08:55.00
has a date on it.
00:08:55.03\00:08:56.63
And next week, you come
and get the next portion
00:08:56.67\00:09:00.10
of programming.
00:09:00.14\00:09:01.50
They actually
release up to one terabyte
00:09:01.54\00:09:04.17
of programming...
00:09:04.21\00:09:05.94
Every week? Every week.
00:09:05.97\00:09:07.31
Wow, that's a
lot of programming.
00:09:07.34\00:09:08.68
And we have the privilege,
opportunity to be to have
00:09:08.71\00:09:13.08
a portion of that one
terabyte on the package.
00:09:13.11\00:09:18.12
And really anyone in Cuba
00:09:18.15\00:09:21.66
can see 3ABN programming
00:09:21.69\00:09:24.49
by going to one of those places
and purchasing the package.
00:09:24.53\00:09:28.93
And it's very, very
affordable, very affordable.
00:09:28.96\00:09:33.40
Now, where do
you buy the package?
00:09:33.44\00:09:35.50
We received a call
after they watched 3ABN.
00:09:35.54\00:09:38.74
We received a call, what
where do they go buy this?
00:09:38.77\00:09:41.74
My... I have some
sisters over there.
00:09:41.78\00:09:44.25
Where can they buy this?
00:09:44.28\00:09:45.78
So Idalia was talking to them.
00:09:45.81\00:09:48.48
He says, "They
sell it everywhere.
00:09:48.52\00:09:51.49
They sell it everywhere."
00:09:51.52\00:09:52.85
Basically if the...
00:09:52.89\00:09:54.56
If it's not on that
block, it's in the next block.
00:09:54.59\00:09:57.23
So and also
there are people there
00:09:57.26\00:10:00.13
that their circle
of people they know
00:10:00.16\00:10:02.70
and they also
knock on doors and say,
00:10:02.73\00:10:04.33
do you want the package.
00:10:04.37\00:10:05.90
It's very affordable.
00:10:05.93\00:10:07.34
I bought the whole one
terabyte for about $1.60.
00:10:07.37\00:10:11.77
And you could have less,
you could say, I just want,
00:10:11.81\00:10:13.94
you know, the
sports and the movies
00:10:13.98\00:10:15.84
and then the price is lower.
00:10:15.88\00:10:18.08
So they tailor it
according to what you want.
00:10:18.11\00:10:20.95
And it's available everywhere.
00:10:20.98\00:10:24.59
Yeah, it's an
amazing, I mean, to me,
00:10:24.62\00:10:25.95
you think about
technology really, too,
00:10:25.99\00:10:27.62
you know, and how just
on a little thumb drive,
00:10:27.66\00:10:29.12
you got 3ABN Latino
there with everything else.
00:10:29.16\00:10:32.39
And the way you said is set up.
00:10:32.43\00:10:33.86
Maybe you can
explain that to us,
00:10:33.90\00:10:35.23
then it's set up
in folders, right?
00:10:35.26\00:10:36.87
So you have 3ABN Latino,
has a really nice logo there.
00:10:36.90\00:10:39.33
Yes.
00:10:39.37\00:10:40.70
The person would
click on that folder,
00:10:40.74\00:10:42.07
and then inside of
it, they would find
00:10:42.10\00:10:43.44
how many
programs does Latino have
00:10:43.47\00:10:45.07
there on this
folder, in this folder?
00:10:45.11\00:10:46.71
Well, on the
folder that we have...
00:10:46.74\00:10:48.88
Yes. That says
3ABN Latino channel.
00:10:48.91\00:10:52.31
It's a, it has, now it
has what you call subfolders,
00:10:52.35\00:10:56.62
because we have family seminars,
00:10:56.65\00:10:59.52
health programs,
00:10:59.55\00:11:01.79
Bible topics, and we
have children's programming,
00:11:01.82\00:11:04.26
and so the people can
select what they want to watch.
00:11:04.29\00:11:07.46
So we put in every
single one of those categories.
00:11:07.50\00:11:11.27
And we have about 10, 10 to 12.
00:11:11.30\00:11:14.84
And we put at
least two programs,
00:11:14.87\00:11:17.14
two to four
programs in each one.
00:11:17.17\00:11:18.94
Good. Wow.
00:11:18.97\00:11:20.31
And then those are updated
each week with new programming?
00:11:20.34\00:11:21.68
Every week new programming.
00:11:21.71\00:11:23.04
Yeah. Wow.
00:11:23.08\00:11:24.41
Yeah, it's
absolutely incredible.
00:11:24.45\00:11:25.78
You know, when I think
about the opportunity now
00:11:25.81\00:11:27.62
is this is going there
because we mentioned June 8th
00:11:27.65\00:11:29.98
is when we
actually launched there,
00:11:30.02\00:11:31.99
which was just
not that long ago.
00:11:32.02\00:11:34.22
You think about
now that that is,
00:11:34.26\00:11:35.82
I like to just in my brain,
00:11:35.86\00:11:37.19
I just like to think of
it flooding all of Cuba.
00:11:37.23\00:11:38.79
Amen.
00:11:38.83\00:11:40.16
Because we don't
know who's actually been
00:11:40.20\00:11:41.53
you know, who has
access to this now.
00:11:41.56\00:11:43.03
And we know that the testimonies
00:11:43.06\00:11:44.83
are going to be coming in.
00:11:44.87\00:11:46.20
And I want to just give
you a little sneak preview too,
00:11:46.23\00:11:48.34
because Chaplain
Hernell Hernandez
00:11:48.37\00:11:49.90
just came back from Cuba.
00:11:49.94\00:11:51.27
And so we have a
little video roll
00:11:51.31\00:11:52.67
a little bit
later in the program
00:11:52.71\00:11:54.28
that's actually going to
be sharing some testimonies
00:11:54.31\00:11:55.91
directly from Cuba.
00:11:55.94\00:11:57.38
You recorded those
on your cell phone.
00:11:57.41\00:11:58.75
Is that right? Or somebody did?
00:11:58.78\00:12:00.12
Yes. Somebody did.
00:12:00.15\00:12:01.48
Yeah.
00:12:01.52\00:12:02.92
It's good, though.
00:12:02.95\00:12:04.29
Yeah, he did a great job.
00:12:04.32\00:12:05.65
But let's go back
then far as the history.
00:12:05.69\00:12:07.66
When did you have the
dream of 3ABN being in Cuba?
00:12:07.69\00:12:12.43
When did that start
resonating in your heart,
00:12:12.46\00:12:15.86
Chaplain Hernell?
00:12:15.90\00:12:17.23
Well, four years ago,
00:12:17.27\00:12:21.60
I be disobedient.
00:12:21.64\00:12:24.54
Now I'm more
obedient to the law of health.
00:12:24.57\00:12:28.84
So they have a little
bit we can call heart attack,
00:12:28.88\00:12:33.21
was not a attack.
00:12:33.25\00:12:34.58
Oh, a heart attack?
00:12:34.62\00:12:35.95
Yeah. Yeah. Was something.
00:12:35.98\00:12:37.32
You know, cheese
and stuff like that.
00:12:37.35\00:12:38.72
I remember the cardiology
said, "Mr. Hernandez."
00:12:38.75\00:12:41.82
"Yes, sir."
00:12:41.86\00:12:43.19
"I understand you're a Pastor,
a Seventh-day Adventist."
00:12:43.22\00:12:45.09
"Yes."
00:12:45.13\00:12:46.46
"But I don't think you
obey pretty much to Ellen White
00:12:46.49\00:12:49.46
because it's not, it
is not what I call..."
00:12:49.50\00:12:53.64
Typical. Yeah,
yeah. Well, it is not.
00:12:53.67\00:12:57.37
What is the substitute of milk?
00:12:57.41\00:12:59.91
Like soy milk?
00:12:59.94\00:13:01.28
DFC. Yeah, they're regular.
00:13:01.31\00:13:02.64
This is a, I think it's cheese.
00:13:02.68\00:13:05.01
So I love you as a
doctor, you are right.
00:13:05.05\00:13:08.62
So from there,
00:13:08.65\00:13:10.45
at a time when I have
this particular impression,
00:13:10.49\00:13:13.82
I asked Him the Lord, "Lord,
I am ready if I have to go.
00:13:13.86\00:13:17.86
But if you give me the chance
to be back, I want two things.
00:13:17.89\00:13:22.00
The first one,
give me a new heart,
00:13:22.03\00:13:24.73
not this one but that one,
00:13:24.77\00:13:26.77
see a better
view of Your ministry.
00:13:26.80\00:13:30.01
And second one,
give me the chance
00:13:30.04\00:13:32.41
to make the before the prayer?
00:13:32.44\00:13:36.08
A loud cry.
00:13:36.11\00:13:37.45
A loud cry in Cuba. Okay.
00:13:37.48\00:13:39.21
And after that, I'm ready.
00:13:39.25\00:13:40.62
So praise the Lord,
I am more than glad.
00:13:40.65\00:13:43.08
So I started looking and
looking make some contacts
00:13:43.12\00:13:45.62
in Cuba in order to see
you know, I can do that.
00:13:45.65\00:13:49.56
So one day when
I have the permit
00:13:49.59\00:13:55.56
from the government, and
everything is ready to say,
00:13:55.60\00:13:58.00
"Well, Lord tell
me, who is the ministry,
00:13:58.03\00:14:02.70
what I knock in the door."
00:14:02.74\00:14:04.77
And I go first in
order to please myself,
00:14:04.81\00:14:10.15
not Him.
00:14:10.18\00:14:12.01
And I said knocking at the
door of a certain institution.
00:14:12.05\00:14:17.09
And they said, "Oh, yeah,
but let me think about it."
00:14:17.12\00:14:21.69
And I said, "It
is not the place."
00:14:21.72\00:14:24.46
So the second place was 3ABN.
00:14:24.49\00:14:27.10
So I make the trip
and come over here.
00:14:27.13\00:14:29.60
And I talked to Danny
Shelton, and said, "Hey,
00:14:29.63\00:14:33.03
this is the dream,
00:14:33.07\00:14:34.47
and you are the guys certainly."
00:14:34.50\00:14:38.47
He said, "Come on board."
00:14:38.51\00:14:40.51
So this is what
I like it for 3ABN,
00:14:40.54\00:14:44.78
you know, everybody is nice.
00:14:44.81\00:14:46.61
Everybody's, all the ministries.
00:14:46.65\00:14:48.52
Yeah.
00:14:48.55\00:14:49.88
But 3ABN
something in particular,
00:14:49.92\00:14:52.72
they say where is
the place and that's way,
00:14:52.75\00:14:54.69
let's go by faith, you
know, with or not money
00:14:54.72\00:14:58.16
or you know, let's go
and do what the Lord want.
00:14:58.19\00:15:00.63
So I am more than glad to say,
00:15:00.66\00:15:04.53
the Lord is with this ministry.
00:15:04.57\00:15:07.04
In order you to be
the leaders, you know.
00:15:07.07\00:15:10.04
Yeah. Go ahead.
00:15:10.07\00:15:11.44
It's very interesting
when I look back because,
00:15:11.47\00:15:15.98
Greg, you were a part of it.
00:15:16.01\00:15:17.51
The first time
3ABN went to took part
00:15:17.55\00:15:21.48
in preaching the
gospel in Cuba was in 2001.
00:15:21.52\00:15:23.32
Yes.
00:15:23.35\00:15:24.69
And we were invited by
La Voz de La Esperanza,
00:15:24.72\00:15:26.65
which is the
Spanish Voice of Prophecy.
00:15:26.69\00:15:28.69
It's not a literal
translation, because in Spanish,
00:15:28.72\00:15:30.53
they use the Voice of Hope
00:15:30.56\00:15:31.89
instead of the
Voice of Prophecy.
00:15:31.93\00:15:33.26
Yes.
00:15:33.29\00:15:34.63
We went there with them to
do an evangelistic campaign
00:15:34.66\00:15:37.20
with one of the leading
00:15:37.23\00:15:39.03
Seventh-day
Adventists evangelists,
00:15:39.07\00:15:40.54
Pastor Alejandro BullA n.
00:15:40.57\00:15:41.90
And the King's Heralds too went.
00:15:41.94\00:15:43.27
The King's
Heralds. Yeah. Oh, yeah.
00:15:43.30\00:15:44.97
King's Heralds went.
00:15:45.01\00:15:46.34
And that the Cuban
government for the first time
00:15:46.37\00:15:50.95
since the 1970s,
allowed any church
00:15:50.98\00:15:55.58
this time it was
Seventh-day Adventist Church,
00:15:55.62\00:15:56.95
it's the first
time they were allowed
00:15:56.99\00:15:58.32
to have an evangelistic campaign
00:15:58.35\00:15:59.85
outside of a church.
00:15:59.89\00:16:01.26
This was
actually held in a theater
00:16:01.29\00:16:03.43
where they do
public performances.
00:16:03.46\00:16:05.83
So that's where we were.
00:16:05.86\00:16:07.73
And we participated for one week
00:16:07.76\00:16:09.73
of evangelistic campaigns.
00:16:09.76\00:16:11.10
I'll never forget
it. Never forget it.
00:16:11.13\00:16:12.47
Yep, I just arrived at
3ABN, might have been here
00:16:12.50\00:16:14.34
I think two years at
that point went over to Cuba.
00:16:14.37\00:16:16.24
They said, "Oh, you're
going on the Cuba trip."
00:16:16.27\00:16:17.61
I was like, "Oh, yay."
00:16:17.64\00:16:19.74
I had no idea, Pastor Johnny,
00:16:19.77\00:16:21.31
you know that all
these years later,
00:16:21.34\00:16:22.94
that 3ABN will
actually have a channel there,
00:16:22.98\00:16:24.58
it's incredible
what God has done.
00:16:24.61\00:16:25.95
You know, it's amazing.
00:16:25.98\00:16:27.32
It's amazing.
00:16:27.35\00:16:28.68
This, a few days ago,
00:16:28.72\00:16:30.05
I found the email
of what I would say
00:16:30.09\00:16:33.39
is the second step we took
to start preaching the gospel
00:16:33.42\00:16:37.83
in Cuba as far as
3ABN's participation.
00:16:37.86\00:16:40.93
I found an email,
it's about nine years old.
00:16:40.96\00:16:45.53
About nine years ago, we
were, I received an email,
00:16:45.57\00:16:50.91
and it was some Cuban guy
00:16:50.94\00:16:52.81
that was watching
3ABN Latino somewhere.
00:16:52.84\00:16:55.54
And he said, I would
love for this programming
00:16:55.58\00:16:58.75
to be available in Cuba.
00:16:58.78\00:17:00.12
Wow.
00:17:00.15\00:17:01.48
I didn't know who he was.
00:17:01.52\00:17:03.08
And I said, "I
would love for this
00:17:03.12\00:17:05.02
to be available in Cuba also.
00:17:05.05\00:17:06.39
Do you know how?"
00:17:06.42\00:17:08.39
And he answered back,
"No, not at this time.
00:17:08.42\00:17:11.19
Things are very
difficult right now,"
00:17:11.23\00:17:12.56
He said, "I
really don't know how."
00:17:12.59\00:17:15.20
So the Lord
planted a seed in my heart.
00:17:15.23\00:17:17.57
And I saw that it
was, it was answered
00:17:17.60\00:17:21.97
about a few weeks
later, we were at ASI.
00:17:22.00\00:17:26.41
And buyer at the 3ABN booth
at ASI passes the gentlemen,
00:17:26.44\00:17:32.01
that goes to ASI Europe,
00:17:32.05\00:17:34.05
the President of ASI
Europe was passing by.
00:17:34.08\00:17:36.99
So we start talking
because he spoke Spanish.
00:17:37.02\00:17:40.09
And he wanted to know
information about 3ABN.
00:17:40.12\00:17:42.72
And so he told me that
they had donated televisions
00:17:42.76\00:17:48.56
and DVD players to the churches,
00:17:48.60\00:17:52.30
Seventh-day Adventist churches
and small groups in Cuba.
00:17:52.33\00:17:55.34
And I said, "Wow, that's great."
00:17:55.37\00:17:57.64
And then I said, "Hey,
00:17:57.67\00:17:59.01
why don't we bring
our programming on DVDs?"
00:17:59.04\00:18:01.38
Yes, absolutely.
00:18:01.41\00:18:02.74
And so we did.
00:18:02.78\00:18:04.75
Some people donated.
00:18:04.78\00:18:06.78
And so we took some DVDs
over there for the seminary,
00:18:06.82\00:18:11.09
yes, we have the
Seventh-day Adventist seminary,
00:18:11.12\00:18:12.82
that's Seventh-day
Adventist Church has a seminary,
00:18:12.85\00:18:14.92
and they were
making copies there
00:18:14.96\00:18:16.52
and bringing it from
one church group to another.
00:18:16.56\00:18:19.69
Amen.
00:18:19.73\00:18:21.06
And that was the project
we began about nine years ago,
00:18:21.10\00:18:22.80
I saw that email.
00:18:22.83\00:18:24.33
So interesting.
00:18:24.37\00:18:25.70
You know, the Lord
brings Pastor Hernell
00:18:25.73\00:18:27.37
into the picture.
00:18:27.40\00:18:28.74
And just as he said, you
know, the Lord put his heart
00:18:28.77\00:18:31.47
to do to
participate in the loud cry.
00:18:31.51\00:18:35.44
And so, we saw that his desire
and our desires were alike,
00:18:35.48\00:18:41.42
to participate in
preaching the gospel in Cuba.
00:18:41.45\00:18:43.49
Amen.
00:18:43.52\00:18:44.85
So last year, maybe we can
talk to Hernell can talk to us
00:18:44.89\00:18:48.96
about our programming was
approved by who over there?
00:18:48.99\00:18:54.26
Well, yes.
00:18:54.30\00:18:55.83
Before that, Pastor
Dinzey, I want to say
00:18:55.86\00:18:58.87
something keep me my attention.
00:18:58.90\00:19:02.00
Guys, you know, I
don't know nothing
00:19:02.04\00:19:04.97
about recording, taping.
00:19:05.01\00:19:09.24
I don't know.
00:19:09.28\00:19:10.61
So when the Lord put
it in my heart to do this,
00:19:10.65\00:19:13.48
I said, "Well, what
I have is connections
00:19:13.52\00:19:18.59
and try to talk but
other than that, Lord,
00:19:18.62\00:19:21.86
don't come with me."
00:19:21.89\00:19:23.32
So don't worry, I
can give you the people.
00:19:23.36\00:19:25.83
So it is very
interested at this point.
00:19:25.86\00:19:28.50
If you are in because
someone from El Paquete,
00:19:28.53\00:19:32.93
not religious guy
is someone he said,
00:19:32.97\00:19:37.31
"Do you know
how many Paqueteros,
00:19:37.34\00:19:40.81
I mean, the guy to sell
the Paquete for hour in Cuba.
00:19:40.84\00:19:44.91
Yeah, I said no, I
don't have any idea.
00:19:44.95\00:19:46.95
And he said, "If you are
00:19:46.98\00:19:48.85
in all religion
churches in Cuba,
00:19:48.88\00:19:52.09
how many Catholic
churches, how many Adventists,
00:19:52.12\00:19:54.86
how many Baptists
you are in all of them.
00:19:54.89\00:19:58.49
They not be half of the amount
00:19:58.53\00:20:02.70
of the Paquetes.
00:20:02.73\00:20:04.67
So in other words...
00:20:04.70\00:20:06.10
Places to buy it?
00:20:06.13\00:20:07.47
Places to get. Okay.
00:20:07.50\00:20:09.20
So this is the
important thing in order,
00:20:09.24\00:20:12.81
in one city a small
town, very small city,
00:20:12.84\00:20:16.34
you can find the Word of God,
00:20:16.38\00:20:18.51
you have to wait for some
religions to go over there,
00:20:18.55\00:20:21.25
planting in a
church, making the process
00:20:21.28\00:20:23.82
and now they start preaching.
00:20:23.85\00:20:25.25
No, no, not with the Paquete.
00:20:25.29\00:20:27.72
In every single place,
you know, neighborhoods,
00:20:27.76\00:20:30.96
you can found, I
don't know, 10-15 in a block
00:20:30.99\00:20:33.93
and so everyone
so access to receive
00:20:33.96\00:20:37.50
the Word of God, you know.
00:20:37.53\00:20:38.87
So I receive emails every
day, every day, sometimes I say,
00:20:38.90\00:20:42.54
no, no, no, I can't
answer, I can't answer.
00:20:42.57\00:20:44.51
Say, "Pastor
Hernell, what is the next
00:20:44.54\00:20:47.14
in some particular programs?
00:20:47.18\00:20:49.34
What about prophecies?
00:20:49.38\00:20:50.71
We need more, we need more."
00:20:50.75\00:20:52.08
I say, "Hey, it's time for milk,
00:20:52.11\00:20:55.88
later come and
give the heavy food."
00:20:55.92\00:20:58.25
So people is hungry.
00:20:58.29\00:21:00.76
So it is amazing Pastor,
00:21:00.79\00:21:02.82
when you see a country like this
00:21:02.86\00:21:04.69
for so many
years, for some reason.
00:21:04.73\00:21:07.26
And now see the door open,
00:21:07.30\00:21:09.66
open it's not a
little bit, all open up.
00:21:09.70\00:21:13.44
And once again, I thank
God and the Cuban government
00:21:13.47\00:21:16.91
is certainly will
be for the benefit
00:21:16.94\00:21:19.57
of all the Cuban population.
00:21:19.61\00:21:21.64
Yeah, will be
problem for families.
00:21:21.68\00:21:24.51
So praise the Lord for.
00:21:24.55\00:21:26.11
So once again, Pastor,
your question was, I'm sorry.
00:21:26.15\00:21:30.65
We took programming
over there, our DVD programs.
00:21:30.69\00:21:33.12
Who did you need approval for?
00:21:33.15\00:21:34.99
So it can be evaluated
and who needed to approve
00:21:35.02\00:21:38.19
our programming to be able
to participate in the package.
00:21:38.23\00:21:41.00
In the package, yes.
00:21:41.03\00:21:42.96
I remember I
invited you one time
00:21:43.00\00:21:45.57
to be in a meeting in Camaguey.
00:21:45.60\00:21:47.70
And it is official government's,
00:21:47.74\00:21:52.04
you know, was there.
00:21:52.07\00:21:53.41
Hey, we tried to help you
00:21:53.44\00:21:54.78
but at the end
of the conversation,
00:21:54.81\00:21:57.05
Pastor Dinzey have a
lot of problem for 3ABN.
00:21:57.08\00:22:00.82
We're talking about
maybe 10 years ago, Pastor.
00:22:00.85\00:22:03.15
Yes. I think so, 10 years ago.
00:22:03.18\00:22:05.89
So I said, if you can see that
and give me your appreciation.
00:22:05.92\00:22:10.13
Well, the time is coming,
00:22:10.16\00:22:11.89
it looks like that no
answer about this time.
00:22:11.93\00:22:14.70
But after that, we approach
to the Council of Churches.
00:22:14.73\00:22:19.77
And I said, "Well,
I am coming over here
00:22:19.80\00:22:24.67
in order to
bring you some idea."
00:22:24.71\00:22:28.11
What about. Yes...
00:22:28.14\00:22:29.48
Who was the Council of
Churches, just for people,
00:22:29.51\00:22:31.81
who comprises the
Council of Churches?
00:22:31.85\00:22:33.42
Yeah, Council of
Churches, it is one organization
00:22:33.45\00:22:38.22
who has different religions
00:22:38.25\00:22:42.99
in order to ask into
the government for example.
00:22:43.02\00:22:47.33
If you want to
send Bibles to Cuba,
00:22:47.36\00:22:50.57
you have to meet
the Council of Churches
00:22:50.60\00:22:53.40
in order to receive.
00:22:53.44\00:22:54.77
If you need a
visa, religious visa,
00:22:54.80\00:22:59.17
you have to do through
the Council of Churches.
00:22:59.21\00:23:00.94
So it is organization by
the government, of course,
00:23:00.98\00:23:05.31
and integrated for
different religions.
00:23:05.35\00:23:09.78
Not all the religions in Cuba
00:23:09.82\00:23:11.85
is a member of the
Council of Churches.
00:23:11.89\00:23:14.69
It's voluntary.
00:23:14.72\00:23:16.06
Seventh-day Adventist is
not, Catholic Church is not,
00:23:16.09\00:23:18.99
and several other ones,
but they are open relation.
00:23:19.03\00:23:23.16
I mean, it doesn't
matter if you are or not member
00:23:23.20\00:23:26.13
of the Council of Churches so.
00:23:26.17\00:23:27.70
They're very
powerful organization, right?
00:23:27.74\00:23:30.17
I mean, the Council of Churches.
00:23:30.21\00:23:31.54
Yes.
00:23:31.57\00:23:32.91
All, a lot of
the, all this approval
00:23:32.94\00:23:34.28
for anything
religious has to go through
00:23:34.31\00:23:35.64
the Council of Churches...
00:23:35.68\00:23:37.01
It is correct.
00:23:37.05\00:23:38.38
Which is directly
tied into the government.
00:23:38.41\00:23:39.75
Exactly, exactly.
00:23:39.78\00:23:41.12
He is the link in between
churches and the government.
00:23:41.15\00:23:44.15
Yes.
00:23:44.19\00:23:45.52
So even if the
Seventh-day Adventist churches,
00:23:45.55\00:23:47.49
sorry to interrupt you,
00:23:47.52\00:23:48.86
is not a part of
the Council of Churches.
00:23:48.89\00:23:51.39
Whenever a pastor wants to
do an evangelistic campaign
00:23:51.43\00:23:54.66
in the
Seventh-day Adventist Church,
00:23:54.70\00:23:56.33
the Seventh-day
Adventist Church Union
00:23:56.36\00:23:59.17
has to take that request
to the Council of Churches
00:23:59.20\00:24:02.10
for the religious
visa to get approved,
00:24:02.14\00:24:05.04
so that that pastor can
from US or from wherever,
00:24:05.07\00:24:08.01
can participate in an
evangelistic campaign in Cuba.
00:24:08.04\00:24:10.78
But so, if you do
not get a religious visa,
00:24:10.81\00:24:13.82
you cannot preach
in a church in Cuba.
00:24:13.85\00:24:15.75
Yeah, correct.
00:24:15.78\00:24:17.12
So you had direct
connection with someone
00:24:17.15\00:24:18.49
in the Council of Churches?
00:24:18.52\00:24:19.85
Yeah.
00:24:19.89\00:24:21.22
Someone, someone say don't go
to the branch, go to the trunk.
00:24:21.26\00:24:24.29
I mean, you know. Yes,
you go to the main person.
00:24:24.33\00:24:27.53
Yes. Okay. I like how you think.
00:24:27.56\00:24:29.70
Yeah, so that's
the way what I did it.
00:24:29.73\00:24:31.53
And I remember he's a lovely
gentleman's people over there
00:24:31.57\00:24:36.94
and said, "This is
what is coming in my mind.
00:24:36.97\00:24:39.17
I don't know if I am
crazy or not but put it."
00:24:39.21\00:24:42.24
So he said, "Make a letter."
00:24:42.28\00:24:45.65
So I make a letter.
00:24:45.68\00:24:47.62
And the letter
explained all of this.
00:24:47.65\00:24:50.32
And six months later,
I received a letter back.
00:24:50.35\00:24:53.92
I said because it is good to say
00:24:53.96\00:24:59.39
the church, then my church
Seventh-day Adventist don't...
00:24:59.43\00:25:04.33
I invite them to be
part in the letter when I,
00:25:04.37\00:25:08.10
you know, to do
to the government.
00:25:08.14\00:25:10.71
And for some
reason I respect that.
00:25:10.74\00:25:12.54
They said, "No, no, no,
I prefer to stay there."
00:25:12.57\00:25:15.24
So I write it as Director
00:25:15.28\00:25:19.21
of international
Children's Relief Fund,
00:25:19.25\00:25:21.58
and send the letter.
00:25:21.62\00:25:22.95
That was before you
were partner with 3ABN?
00:25:22.98\00:25:24.65
Yes, it's correct.
Yes. Where did you go?
00:25:24.69\00:25:26.65
Yeah, it's correct.
00:25:26.69\00:25:28.02
So they answer to
the institution with the,
00:25:28.06\00:25:31.96
they said, Well, we approval,
00:25:31.99\00:25:33.86
you have
permission to do one studio,
00:25:33.90\00:25:38.90
television and
radio in Camaguey in this
00:25:38.93\00:25:41.64
and this and this place,
you have permission to that.
00:25:41.67\00:25:44.91
The other permission is,
00:25:44.94\00:25:46.68
you can prepare
programs over here
00:25:46.71\00:25:50.11
and bring programs from US.
00:25:50.15\00:25:52.75
And you can
editing here in the studio,
00:25:52.78\00:25:56.65
and you have
permission to do in the Paquete.
00:25:56.69\00:25:58.95
So for me, I said,
"What is the Paquete?
00:25:58.99\00:26:00.99
So at this time,
I know, I don't know
00:26:01.02\00:26:03.89
what is the Paquete,
and what is the editing.
00:26:03.93\00:26:06.80
But I said, "If
Lord, if You guide me,
00:26:06.83\00:26:08.46
You teach me about it."
00:26:08.50\00:26:10.37
So pretty much, they have
some regulations, of course.
00:26:10.40\00:26:15.70
All the programs,
who go into the Paquete,
00:26:15.74\00:26:19.61
I'm responsible in
front of the government
00:26:19.64\00:26:22.44
and the Council of
Churches to bring them,
00:26:22.48\00:26:24.65
they review every single program
00:26:24.68\00:26:27.52
and send it to the government
00:26:27.55\00:26:29.55
and government
give the blessing.
00:26:29.58\00:26:31.99
He says it's okay and be back.
00:26:32.02\00:26:33.76
And now we go to the Paquete.
00:26:33.79\00:26:36.09
It is the
process. We're so grateful.
00:26:36.12\00:26:38.99
I was just thinking of that,
as you were talking about that.
00:26:39.03\00:26:40.96
So grateful for the miracle God
worked to open up those doors,
00:26:41.00\00:26:44.93
as you've been working there.
00:26:44.97\00:26:46.30
And then
joining hands with 3ABN.
00:26:46.33\00:26:48.50
We just want to
give a special thank you
00:26:48.54\00:26:49.87
to the Cuban government.
00:26:49.90\00:26:51.24
We're grateful
for the government
00:26:51.27\00:26:53.27
and for the Council of Churches,
00:26:53.31\00:26:54.68
opening up those doors.
00:26:54.71\00:26:56.34
Of course, God
working through them
00:26:56.38\00:26:57.91
in order to be able to
have 3ABN on the package
00:26:57.95\00:27:01.55
and provide Christ
centered programming,
00:27:01.58\00:27:04.25
programming that's
going to impact families,
00:27:04.29\00:27:06.25
programming that's
going to impact health
00:27:06.29\00:27:08.62
and programming that's going
to make a spiritual difference
00:27:08.66\00:27:12.39
in the lives of
the Cuban people.
00:27:12.43\00:27:14.30
So what a tremendous opportunity
00:27:14.33\00:27:16.63
and privilege for them.
00:27:16.67\00:27:18.00
Yeah, amen to that.
00:27:18.03\00:27:19.37
Go ahead, Pastor Johnny.
00:27:19.40\00:27:20.74
I would like to share a miracle
because to me, it is a miracle.
00:27:20.77\00:27:24.17
Getting a flight to Cuba
has been very difficult since...
00:27:24.21\00:27:28.91
See, we were
there last year in Cuba,
00:27:28.94\00:27:33.08
in the month of March.
00:27:33.11\00:27:34.55
And what was happening in the US
00:27:34.58\00:27:36.28
during the month of March?
00:27:36.32\00:27:37.65
COVID was hitting it seems
like around world at that point.
00:27:37.69\00:27:39.99
That's right. The world was hit.
00:27:40.02\00:27:41.62
So now we are in Cuba.
00:27:41.66\00:27:43.36
And, of course,
when we went there,
00:27:43.39\00:27:46.39
Pastor Hernell, you know,
00:27:46.43\00:27:48.03
I went with my
mask, I met him in Miami.
00:27:48.06\00:27:51.90
And he had purchased gloves,
00:27:51.93\00:27:54.60
he had purchased
the sanitizing wipes.
00:27:54.64\00:27:57.74
And I mean, we were
ready to enter into Cuba
00:27:57.77\00:28:03.11
with all the
protection you need.
00:28:03.14\00:28:05.08
So we met with the
Council of Churches,
00:28:05.11\00:28:08.62
but the CEO was not there.
00:28:08.65\00:28:11.62
So we scheduled another,
another date to meet with him.
00:28:11.65\00:28:16.62
And also, we spoke with
the President of the Union
00:28:16.66\00:28:20.73
of the Seventh-day
Adventist Church and said,
00:28:20.76\00:28:23.33
"We're here, we would
like to meet with you."
00:28:23.37\00:28:25.30
And he says, "Well, I'm
going on a date with my wife.
00:28:25.33\00:28:27.37
It's her birthday.
00:28:27.40\00:28:28.74
How about on Wednesday?"
00:28:28.77\00:28:30.11
You know, and it
was this was like,
00:28:30.14\00:28:31.91
Sunday or
Monday, I don't remember.
00:28:31.94\00:28:34.31
And so we had these
meetings still scheduled.
00:28:34.34\00:28:39.61
And so, Pastor Hernell,
Chaplain Hernell receives
00:28:39.65\00:28:43.65
a phone call
from his loving wife,
00:28:43.69\00:28:45.35
Doris and says,
00:28:45.39\00:28:47.29
"You need to
leave Cuba right away."
00:28:47.32\00:28:49.56
Yes, I remember.
00:28:49.59\00:28:52.03
And he's like,
"Why, what's the reason?"
00:28:52.06\00:28:55.56
She said,
"Airports are closing down
00:28:55.60\00:28:58.03
and you need to
leave right away."
00:28:58.07\00:28:59.87
And so the very next
day, early in the morning,
00:28:59.90\00:29:03.10
I think it was like
four in the morning,
00:29:03.14\00:29:04.87
five in the morning,
we were at the airport,
00:29:04.91\00:29:07.44
trying to get a flight out
00:29:07.48\00:29:10.15
because our flight was
scheduled for I think Thursday.
00:29:10.18\00:29:14.22
Yeah. This was Tuesday morning.
00:29:14.25\00:29:16.35
Permission, Pastor Dinzey.
00:29:16.38\00:29:18.32
Dinzey said, "We
have appointment."
00:29:18.35\00:29:20.86
You know, I love his
way to sit and confront
00:29:20.89\00:29:23.32
you know, difficult thing.
00:29:23.36\00:29:24.69
Pastor we have appointment.
00:29:24.73\00:29:26.59
Dinzey, we have
to get out of here.
00:29:26.63\00:29:30.13
You know, worst thing.
00:29:30.17\00:29:32.93
So they, they
closed the airports down.
00:29:32.97\00:29:35.60
Yeah, they did.
00:29:35.64\00:29:36.97
They closed the
airports down, November.
00:29:37.01\00:29:40.28
But you got out in time?
Yeah, we got out in time.
00:29:40.31\00:29:42.14
Okay.
00:29:42.18\00:29:43.51
Otherwise, it would be November
and we couldn't leave there
00:29:43.55\00:29:46.01
because the airports
were closed until November,
00:29:46.05\00:29:48.08
March to November. Yes.
00:29:48.12\00:29:51.15
So then Pastor
Hernell and I was able to go
00:29:51.19\00:29:53.79
in November and
had some meetings
00:29:53.82\00:29:56.12
and make some arrangements,
went back in December.
00:29:56.16\00:29:58.99
And again, I mean,
we're just getting closer
00:29:59.03\00:30:02.06
and closer to getting not only
the final approval, and I mean,
00:30:02.10\00:30:05.73
they were saying things like,
the programming is exquisite.
00:30:05.77\00:30:08.64
This is wonderful.
00:30:08.67\00:30:10.07
So now that the Council
of Church has the government
00:30:10.11\00:30:12.97
has sought, seen
it, now we have to meet
00:30:13.01\00:30:15.31
with the leaders of the package,
00:30:15.34\00:30:19.01
and they call their
headquarters, The Matrix.
00:30:19.05\00:30:22.08
The Matrix
sounds very mysterious.
00:30:22.12\00:30:24.65
It does. So anyway.
00:30:24.69\00:30:28.02
Oh, Chaplain Hernell
was going to Cuba again,
00:30:28.06\00:30:31.59
I think we'll say March,
00:30:31.63\00:30:32.96
February or March of
this year, this year.
00:30:32.99\00:30:35.53
And he took a test
when he was in Miami.
00:30:35.56\00:30:39.37
And the test, of
course, was negative.
00:30:39.40\00:30:41.34
But when he got there,
00:30:41.37\00:30:42.70
they said, your test is too old.
00:30:42.74\00:30:44.84
It's four days, and you need
three days before the flight.
00:30:44.87\00:30:47.94
So he takes another
test. The COVID test?
00:30:47.98\00:30:50.21
Another COVID test
and it was positive.
00:30:50.25\00:30:53.25
Oh, no.
00:30:53.28\00:30:55.05
But he says that
it was not COVID,
00:30:55.08\00:30:57.09
it was something else.
00:30:57.12\00:30:58.59
But still with
the positive test,
00:30:58.62\00:30:59.95
they're not
gonna alight the plane.
00:30:59.99\00:31:01.32
Couldn't get on the plane.
Couldn't get on the plane.
00:31:01.36\00:31:02.96
So, cutting the
story down a little bit.
00:31:02.99\00:31:06.36
He was able to go
at the end of March,
00:31:06.39\00:31:08.00
at the about the
second week of March.
00:31:08.03\00:31:10.27
I went at the
last week of March.
00:31:10.30\00:31:12.57
And when you go there,
00:31:12.60\00:31:14.20
you have to go through
five nights and six days.
00:31:14.24\00:31:19.14
No, yeah, five nights,
six days of quarantine.
00:31:19.17\00:31:22.11
And prior to this, I
think he went in January now
00:31:22.14\00:31:24.18
that I remember, he had
to do 10 days of quarantine
00:31:24.21\00:31:29.52
before he could
step out and do any work.
00:31:29.55\00:31:32.49
So anyway, he
went and there was,
00:31:32.52\00:31:35.39
we want to thank the
Council of Churches again,
00:31:35.42\00:31:36.96
because they make
contact with The Matrix.
00:31:36.99\00:31:40.96
They have, they
had a phone number,
00:31:41.00\00:31:42.80
they were talking to them.
00:31:42.83\00:31:44.43
And Pastor Hernell
was there and he says,
00:31:44.47\00:31:47.00
I would like to
meet with you in person.
00:31:47.04\00:31:48.60
Oh, yes, yes, we can do that.
00:31:48.64\00:31:50.71
But yes, we have
many things to talk about.
00:31:50.74\00:31:53.11
Sure, sure.
00:31:53.14\00:31:54.68
And so there was another,
they were supposed to call back
00:31:54.71\00:31:58.45
with a time of meeting
and to share what the price
00:31:58.48\00:32:02.65
would be that we
will have to pay a month
00:32:02.68\00:32:04.19
because, folks,
this is not free.
00:32:04.22\00:32:06.92
This is not free,
3ABN's participation,
00:32:06.96\00:32:09.02
we have to pay
about $1,200 a month
00:32:09.06\00:32:12.59
to participate in the package.
00:32:12.63\00:32:13.96
So then we wanted
to know the price.
00:32:14.00\00:32:16.87
We didn't know that then.
00:32:16.90\00:32:19.07
So anyway, for some reason,
00:32:19.10\00:32:23.30
the Council of Churches
lost contact with the person
00:32:23.34\00:32:27.18
that they had
the phone number of.
00:32:27.21\00:32:28.54
The package.
00:32:28.58\00:32:29.91
So the Council of Churches
lost contact with the package?
00:32:29.94\00:32:31.51
Yes, The Matrix people.
00:32:31.55\00:32:33.58
So no phone call, yeah,
00:32:33.62\00:32:39.15
the phone calls
were made to them.
00:32:39.19\00:32:40.66
They were not answered.
00:32:40.69\00:32:42.02
We don't know what
happened to the person,
00:32:42.06\00:32:43.39
did he get
COVID, we have no idea.
00:32:43.43\00:32:45.06
Basically no communication.
00:32:45.09\00:32:46.59
And it's, at this point in time,
00:32:46.63\00:32:49.46
they didn't know the
address of the people
00:32:49.50\00:32:51.93
because this is not put out.
00:32:51.97\00:32:53.30
It's not public information.
00:32:53.34\00:32:54.90
So there's no address.
00:32:54.94\00:32:56.34
You can't go, hey,
I've been calling you.
00:32:56.37\00:32:58.97
They didn't know.
00:32:59.01\00:33:00.58
So when I get out
of the quarantine,
00:33:00.61\00:33:05.51
Chaplain
Hernell, were you able to,
00:33:05.55\00:33:07.38
did they call you back?
00:33:07.42\00:33:09.15
We haven't heard from them.
00:33:09.18\00:33:10.52
And he had, you
know, two days left.
00:33:10.55\00:33:13.62
So the next day we are,
we thank Pastor Enmar also.
00:33:13.66\00:33:19.46
We are, we
decided to go visit places
00:33:19.49\00:33:22.46
where they sell the
package with the hope
00:33:22.50\00:33:25.60
that one of
these places would say,
00:33:25.63\00:33:27.54
"Oh yes, we get our programming
from the headquarters."
00:33:27.57\00:33:30.61
And this is their name,
this is their phone number
00:33:30.64\00:33:33.38
so that we could
get in touch with them.
00:33:33.41\00:33:35.34
We're trying to
reconnect with them.
00:33:35.38\00:33:38.21
And about how many
places are there in Havana?
00:33:38.25\00:33:41.55
This is Havana, Cuba.
00:33:41.58\00:33:42.92
How many places are
there in Havana, Cuba,
00:33:42.95\00:33:44.45
where they sell the
package, would you say?
00:33:44.49\00:33:45.82
Thousands. Thousands?
00:33:45.85\00:33:47.69
Thousands, okay. Thousands.
00:33:47.72\00:33:50.39
So anyway, hundreds
or thousands of them.
00:33:50.43\00:33:52.13
And so we had a
list, we had a list.
00:33:52.16\00:33:56.20
And we go to the first
place, which is really a house
00:33:56.23\00:33:59.90
just about every place
00:33:59.93\00:34:01.27
where they sell
the package is home.
00:34:01.30\00:34:03.30
And the front room
or the living room,
00:34:03.34\00:34:05.84
they have a little,
they have a desk there,
00:34:05.87\00:34:07.78
they have their TV
and their computers,
00:34:07.81\00:34:10.91
computer monitor and
they do the transaction.
00:34:10.95\00:34:13.28
So copying the packages, etc.
00:34:13.31\00:34:15.05
So we go to the
first home, and we ask,
00:34:15.08\00:34:19.25
"Can you give us the
number of The Matrix?"
00:34:19.29\00:34:22.56
And they said,
the young lady said,
00:34:22.59\00:34:24.79
"Oh, no, I just work here.
00:34:24.83\00:34:26.29
I don't know.
00:34:26.33\00:34:27.66
You have to talk to
my supervisor, my boss,
00:34:27.70\00:34:29.83
and he'll be back
in the afternoon."
00:34:29.86\00:34:32.13
So we said thank
you and we'll be back,
00:34:32.17\00:34:34.70
and we decided we want a
copy of the package to see
00:34:34.74\00:34:37.67
what's going on and
how our programming could,
00:34:37.71\00:34:41.48
you know, participate,
how it would look in there.
00:34:41.51\00:34:44.38
So we were going to
be back in the afternoon.
00:34:44.41\00:34:47.48
We go to the next place.
00:34:47.52\00:34:49.12
Remember there are hundreds
00:34:49.15\00:34:50.49
or a few
thousand of these places.
00:34:50.52\00:34:51.89
We go to the next place.
00:34:51.92\00:34:53.25
And Chaplain Hernell
is talking to this guy.
00:34:53.29\00:34:57.13
He looks like a young man,
00:34:57.16\00:34:59.36
but he recognized
something about this man.
00:34:59.39\00:35:01.86
What was your impression
after the meeting with him?
00:35:01.90\00:35:04.27
Well, once again, I, every
time when I go, I pray and say,
00:35:04.30\00:35:09.37
"Well, you know,
Lord, so give me,
00:35:09.40\00:35:11.67
give me the
guidance, you know, tell me."
00:35:11.71\00:35:14.01
And I start
talking with the guy, hey,
00:35:14.04\00:35:16.58
I'm looking for,
you know, the main guy.
00:35:16.61\00:35:19.88
We usually if typical
Mexican word say el mero mero,
00:35:19.91\00:35:24.62
I mean, this is the biggest one.
00:35:24.65\00:35:27.72
So even he's not Mexican,
00:35:27.76\00:35:30.83
he got it when I
say el mero mero.
00:35:30.86\00:35:33.29
So the guy said, well...
00:35:33.33\00:35:35.83
It's like saying the Big Cheese,
00:35:35.86\00:35:37.33
the big guy, yeah.
00:35:37.37\00:35:38.70
So when I don't remember,
I have a dress a regular
00:35:38.73\00:35:44.37
or I dress as a Chaplain.
00:35:44.41\00:35:45.94
You were dressed as a chaplain,
00:35:45.97\00:35:47.31
you had vest and
your chaplain's robe.
00:35:47.34\00:35:48.68
Okay, so don't
want to impress the guy,
00:35:48.71\00:35:50.51
you know, and
said, who is the guy?
00:35:50.55\00:35:53.01
Who is this guy
we're looking for?
00:35:53.05\00:35:55.15
So I said, Well, the reason
is, we have a ministry in US,
00:35:55.18\00:36:01.12
and we want to
promote Christian programs.
00:36:01.16\00:36:03.49
And this is the
topic what I intend to do.
00:36:03.53\00:36:06.39
But I'm looking
for the main guy,
00:36:06.43\00:36:08.16
the mero mero.
00:36:08.20\00:36:09.53
And he said, "Well,
looking everywhere isn't well,
00:36:09.56\00:36:14.40
I can talk to the mero mero.
00:36:14.44\00:36:17.04
And it's him but
he don't tell me.
00:36:17.07\00:36:20.44
In the first time, he
go, he'll say nothing.
00:36:20.48\00:36:21.88
Yeah, wow.
00:36:21.91\00:36:23.24
So but in the way this guy.
00:36:23.28\00:36:25.75
He was evaluating us.
00:36:25.78\00:36:27.12
Exactly.
00:36:27.15\00:36:28.48
And look at it and everything.
00:36:28.52\00:36:29.85
He said, do you have,
this is what the sign.
00:36:29.88\00:36:33.62
Do you have the problems
in order I can't look at it?
00:36:33.66\00:36:37.43
I said not with me,
00:36:37.46\00:36:39.86
but I can bring
you and I said when?
00:36:39.89\00:36:44.33
He said right now.
00:36:44.37\00:36:46.84
I said, Dinzey, well, I
finished the conversation
00:36:46.87\00:36:49.50
saying, okay, what
about he put us on appointment
00:36:49.54\00:36:52.87
in the afternoon?
00:36:52.91\00:36:54.24
And he said,
"Yes, I waiting for it."
00:36:54.28\00:36:56.61
So at the end this conversation,
00:36:56.64\00:36:59.98
I feel the
impression that it is the guy.
00:37:00.02\00:37:02.95
And I told them as soon
as I get back to the car.
00:37:02.98\00:37:05.55
Yes.
00:37:05.59\00:37:06.92
So when he said
that, I said, "That guy?"
00:37:06.96\00:37:10.09
One of those, he didn't
look the part you would say,
00:37:10.13\00:37:13.43
but praise the Lord,
this is to me the miracle.
00:37:13.46\00:37:17.00
This is the second
place we visited...
00:37:17.03\00:37:19.47
And you could have
gone to thousands of places
00:37:19.50\00:37:21.10
there in Havana.
00:37:21.14\00:37:22.47
Yes, the second place
we visited was the person
00:37:22.50\00:37:25.24
the exact person
we needed to talk to.
00:37:25.27\00:37:27.38
Praise the Lord.
00:37:27.41\00:37:28.74
And that's the praise the
Lord because us, our prayer was,
00:37:28.78\00:37:31.35
Lord, bless us so that
Chaplain Hernell can leave Cuba
00:37:31.38\00:37:34.85
with an answer that
we were able to contact
00:37:34.88\00:37:37.99
The Matrix and to find
out when the 3ABN Latino
00:37:38.02\00:37:42.02
can begin on the package.
00:37:42.06\00:37:43.43
So the Lord blessed
with that marvelous answer.
00:37:43.46\00:37:46.29
It's a miracle to me
that the second place we go to
00:37:46.33\00:37:49.86
is not that they
gave us a phone number,
00:37:49.90\00:37:51.77
but it was the person
that we need to contact.
00:37:51.80\00:37:54.27
Exactly.
00:37:54.30\00:37:55.64
Yeah, so let's
fast forward then.
00:37:55.67\00:37:57.01
So you made contact, we provided
00:37:57.04\00:37:59.27
the, all the
programming that they needed.
00:37:59.31\00:38:01.24
We exchanged the funds
so that they'd be paid.
00:38:01.28\00:38:04.01
And then tell us about June
8th because that's a huge day.
00:38:04.05\00:38:07.32
And then we want to
show this video too.
00:38:07.35\00:38:08.68
Yes, Chaplain Hernell.
00:38:08.72\00:38:10.22
He said, well, you
said they gave me a date.
00:38:10.25\00:38:13.12
And I said, "What is
it? What's the date?"
00:38:13.15\00:38:15.02
And he told me it was
like the 15th of June.
00:38:15.06\00:38:17.93
Yes, that's right.
00:38:17.96\00:38:19.29
So I say 15th of June. Great.
00:38:19.33\00:38:21.20
So I tell Greg and
Jill, 15th of June.
00:38:21.23\00:38:24.23
Oh, and we have the...
Mark it on the calendar.
00:38:24.27\00:38:25.73
Yeah, exactly.
00:38:25.77\00:38:27.14
Yeah, big day.
00:38:27.17\00:38:28.67
Interestingly enough,
like three or four days later,
00:38:28.70\00:38:32.41
Chaplain Hernell says,
June 8th, we're going to be on.
00:38:32.44\00:38:36.44
June 8, I said, I
think it was the 15th before.
00:38:36.48\00:38:40.25
But hey, so it's
one week earlier.
00:38:40.28\00:38:42.15
So Praise the Lord. So yes.
00:38:42.18\00:38:43.72
June 8, 3ABN Latino available
in the package all over Cuba.
00:38:43.75\00:38:49.06
Yeah.
00:38:49.09\00:38:50.43
Every city and town...
00:38:50.46\00:38:51.79
Every single city in Cuba.
00:38:51.83\00:38:53.23
So verification,
Chaplain Hernell,
00:38:53.26\00:38:56.97
this is where we
come to the video now.
00:38:57.00\00:38:58.33
Yes.
00:38:58.37\00:38:59.70
Chaplain Hernell
started visiting as many cities
00:38:59.73\00:39:03.34
as possible in the time
that he in his last trip,
00:39:03.37\00:39:06.41
which he came back
just about a week or two,
00:39:06.44\00:39:08.48
about two weeks ago,
as many cities as possible
00:39:08.51\00:39:10.98
to confirm going
from one place to another.
00:39:11.01\00:39:13.42
Do you have the
package here? Yes.
00:39:13.45\00:39:15.32
And they would, they
will show him on the computer.
00:39:15.35\00:39:17.52
Yes, we have it here.
00:39:17.55\00:39:19.32
And he actually
purchased the package
00:39:19.35\00:39:20.86
in a few of these places.
00:39:20.89\00:39:22.62
So that he could take it
home and say, hey, it's here.
00:39:22.66\00:39:25.46
But so we're going to
show a video where the first,
00:39:25.49\00:39:29.73
the first person he
talks to is a person
00:39:29.76\00:39:31.57
that sells the package, and...
00:39:31.60\00:39:34.24
Not an
Adventist. Not an Adventist.
00:39:34.27\00:39:36.10
And he's going to
tell you a little bit
00:39:36.14\00:39:37.51
about, you know, what he thinks
his evaluation of 3ABN Latino
00:39:37.54\00:39:42.21
being on the package and
what impact it could have.
00:39:42.24\00:39:44.68
And then you'll
hear a couple of pastors
00:39:44.71\00:39:47.15
giving their
impression of the package.
00:39:47.18\00:39:49.98
I can mention,
okay, so another miracle.
00:39:50.02\00:39:52.19
Okay.
00:39:52.22\00:39:53.56
And Dinzey, Pastor Dinzey
is a part of this miracle,
00:39:53.59\00:39:56.93
even me.
00:39:56.96\00:39:58.39
Now we have to
select the day to fly.
00:39:58.43\00:40:01.60
So I started
looking in the computer.
00:40:01.63\00:40:04.37
Okay, American Airlines
departure day is Sunday,
00:40:04.40\00:40:07.94
when June 72
hours before, cancel.
00:40:07.97\00:40:10.94
No.
00:40:10.97\00:40:12.31
But what's going on?
00:40:12.34\00:40:13.68
And Pastor Dinzey
do the same thing.
00:40:13.71\00:40:15.11
So I start praying, once
again, like everyone said,
00:40:15.14\00:40:19.95
let me see that we need to found
00:40:19.98\00:40:22.85
because many
flights gone to Cuba.
00:40:22.88\00:40:26.59
Who is the agency?
00:40:26.62\00:40:28.62
Or who is the minister?
00:40:28.66\00:40:29.99
Where is the minister, right?
00:40:30.03\00:40:31.36
And I call Cuba and
talk with one friend.
00:40:31.39\00:40:34.76
He said, "Hey,
what's going on guy."
00:40:34.80\00:40:37.10
Get this fly, they
cancel, and two days later,
00:40:37.13\00:40:39.60
the same fly go?
00:40:39.63\00:40:41.20
How can it be possible?
00:40:41.24\00:40:42.67
He said, Hernell,
it is the phone number,
00:40:42.70\00:40:45.51
you need to call
and call this agency.
00:40:45.54\00:40:48.71
And you will found a ticket for.
00:40:48.74\00:40:51.01
So praise the Lord.
00:40:51.05\00:40:53.11
Every time when I, so
Pastor Dinzey told me,
00:40:53.15\00:40:56.52
I look at it, I don't find,
pastor, got to this number.
00:40:56.55\00:41:01.92
Tell them the story.
00:41:01.96\00:41:03.29
Praise the Lord
because this is how
00:41:03.32\00:41:04.99
you were able to
actually go down there,
00:41:05.03\00:41:06.49
get this footage and
actually verify everything.
00:41:06.53\00:41:08.60
And then what we want to
do is actually go to this roll
00:41:08.63\00:41:10.63
that you were talking
about Pastor Johnny and see
00:41:10.67\00:41:13.17
what God is doing in Cuba.
00:41:13.20\00:41:17.24
Regarding the Christian
television project, 3ABN,
00:41:17.27\00:41:21.44
I see a good future for Cuba.
00:41:21.48\00:41:23.85
It would bring new perspectives.
00:41:23.88\00:41:26.11
That is, we will not depend
on what someone decide for us,
00:41:26.15\00:41:30.52
which normally
goes into the package.
00:41:30.55\00:41:33.05
We could prepare a
much better programming,
00:41:33.09\00:41:36.29
one that is more
effective with a greater scope
00:41:36.32\00:41:40.00
and something that can
be monitored and improved,
00:41:40.03\00:41:42.13
and that gives us
something more from the package.
00:41:42.16\00:41:44.10
I see a good
future for that project.
00:41:44.13\00:41:46.33
Brothers and sisters, I
didn't want to say goodbye
00:41:46.37\00:41:49.80
without first
thanking God, the Almighty God,
00:41:49.84\00:41:53.17
the God of the
heavens, the earth and the sea,
00:41:53.21\00:41:55.58
and all of the creation
to the God of the impossible,
00:41:55.61\00:41:59.31
precisely for these
television channel 3ABN,
00:41:59.35\00:42:03.45
that through the incredible
means that God has used
00:42:03.49\00:42:06.39
which are these
packages that can be distributed
00:42:06.42\00:42:08.92
anywhere, and that can
reach as many souls as possible,
00:42:08.96\00:42:13.29
whether they are
believers or non-believers.
00:42:13.33\00:42:16.60
It is in these that I really
see the greatness and the power
00:42:16.63\00:42:20.14
of the great God we have.
00:42:20.17\00:42:23.17
This is one of the ways
00:42:23.20\00:42:25.01
we have to deal with a pandemic.
00:42:25.04\00:42:27.81
We admire the risk they take
00:42:27.84\00:42:30.01
because hundreds of
people pass through here.
00:42:30.05\00:42:32.48
This is a control point
where they take the temperature
00:42:32.51\00:42:35.38
to be able to enter the city.
00:42:35.42\00:42:37.39
And I think that the
measure is very suitable
00:42:37.42\00:42:40.19
for those who want to keep order
00:42:40.22\00:42:42.62
and also for those who are
a little bit undisciplined.
00:42:42.66\00:42:45.23
We most respect
and we encourage others
00:42:45.26\00:42:48.06
to do the same.
00:42:48.10\00:42:49.43
So we get out of
this pandemic soon.
00:42:49.46\00:42:51.10
Thank you.
00:42:51.13\00:42:54.50
Greetings, friends.
00:42:54.54\00:42:55.94
We are here in
the Agramonte Park
00:42:55.97\00:42:58.84
in the city of Camaguey
00:42:58.87\00:43:00.28
to begin our journey through
the entire island of Cuba.
00:43:00.31\00:43:05.18
The purpose is to visit
the provinces to contact
00:43:05.21\00:43:09.68
and confirm that the
3ABN Latino Christian package
00:43:09.72\00:43:14.49
is available
throughout the island.
00:43:14.52\00:43:17.26
We invite you to
join us on this adventure.
00:43:17.29\00:43:20.30
Follow us.
00:43:20.33\00:43:22.76
Pastor, let me
ask you a question.
00:43:22.80\00:43:25.13
Knowing that in
the network package,
00:43:25.17\00:43:28.80
there are many secular teams.
00:43:28.84\00:43:31.41
But now that we are
going to have the message
00:43:31.44\00:43:33.84
of the Word of God
through different ministries,
00:43:33.88\00:43:37.51
how do you see
that for the advancement
00:43:37.55\00:43:39.88
of God's work in Cuba?
00:43:39.91\00:43:41.58
How do you see it?
00:43:41.62\00:43:43.15
Well, I see it as a
fountain that God has opened
00:43:43.18\00:43:47.39
to our country, for we have
been waiting for it so long.
00:43:47.42\00:43:51.83
I think this has been a
direct answer to our prayers.
00:43:51.86\00:43:55.70
As for so many years,
00:43:55.73\00:43:58.33
we have longed to be
like all the countries
00:43:58.37\00:44:01.80
so we can preach the
solid convincing gospel,
00:44:01.84\00:44:05.41
a voice of to
the people of Cuba,
00:44:05.44\00:44:09.21
a voice that can
reach every home.
00:44:09.24\00:44:11.48
I think that is
the best evangelism
00:44:11.51\00:44:13.85
we can do in a
country like this.
00:44:13.88\00:44:16.89
I think this
has been a blessing,
00:44:16.92\00:44:19.79
an answer from
God, to our prayers.
00:44:19.82\00:44:22.39
I think it is a
wonderful opportunity for Cuba.
00:44:22.42\00:44:25.39
I think it is the last
message, the last opportunity
00:44:25.43\00:44:29.10
that God has given us in
this country, as leaders,
00:44:29.13\00:44:32.60
as workers, as
missionaries, an opportunity
00:44:32.63\00:44:36.84
in which we can
enter people's home
00:44:36.87\00:44:39.27
with this message,
00:44:39.31\00:44:40.68
which is something
we can't physically do
00:44:40.71\00:44:43.04
for our own people
00:44:43.08\00:44:44.71
that are going
to be many people,
00:44:44.75\00:44:46.51
from the leaders of our country
00:44:46.55\00:44:48.38
who are going to
listen to the message,
00:44:48.42\00:44:50.69
there are going
to be many people
00:44:50.72\00:44:52.65
who are members of
the party or the police
00:44:52.69\00:44:55.19
and of the
Department of Interior
00:44:55.22\00:44:56.69
were going to listen,
because it is a message
00:44:56.73\00:44:59.83
that is going to reach the homes
00:44:59.86\00:45:01.40
by some member of the household.
00:45:01.43\00:45:03.37
And God is going
to open the doors
00:45:03.40\00:45:05.80
and collect the last remnant
00:45:05.83\00:45:07.54
that He has
precisely in this country.
00:45:07.57\00:45:09.74
For me, it has been a
satisfaction to hear the news
00:45:09.77\00:45:14.68
and a joy to have the
privilege so anticipated
00:45:14.71\00:45:18.68
and so long for by the
members of the Adventist Church
00:45:18.71\00:45:22.05
in Cuba, and that God has
answered the prayer so soon.
00:45:22.08\00:45:25.35
Well, I am going to
tell you something, Pastor,
00:45:25.39\00:45:28.06
I have come here
under the protection
00:45:28.09\00:45:31.46
of the Most High.
00:45:31.49\00:45:33.29
I don't have Coronavirus
because I have the promise
00:45:33.33\00:45:38.07
that a thousand and ten thousand
00:45:38.10\00:45:40.34
will fall by my side
but it will not touch me.
00:45:40.37\00:45:42.90
So I think that you
are the first person
00:45:42.94\00:45:46.88
that I am going to
ask you to come beside me.
00:45:46.91\00:45:49.48
So I can extend a
hug to you, right?
00:45:49.51\00:45:51.95
A real brotherly hug
because during this time,
00:45:51.98\00:45:56.18
in light of the pandemic,
the demonstration of God
00:45:56.22\00:45:59.42
is coming as my
dear pastor here says,
00:45:59.45\00:46:01.66
this isn't just for believers,
00:46:01.69\00:46:04.29
this production of 3ABN
and all Christian ministries,
00:46:04.33\00:46:08.40
it is for the atheists,
it is for any denomination,
00:46:08.43\00:46:12.20
it is for those who
believe and those who don't.
00:46:12.23\00:46:14.30
Amen.
00:46:14.34\00:46:15.67
Because God has sent
His Word for everyone.
00:46:15.70\00:46:18.77
Pastor, thank you very much.
00:46:18.81\00:46:20.61
It is an honor to know you.
00:46:20.64\00:46:22.14
God bless you.
00:46:22.18\00:46:23.51
Thank you very much
from the bottom of my heart.
00:46:23.55\00:46:25.18
Amen. Wow, powerful.
00:46:27.55\00:46:28.88
So exciting to see
that 3ABN has launched
00:46:28.92\00:46:32.85
on the package in Cuba.
00:46:32.89\00:46:34.22
Yes. And to hear
those amazing reports.
00:46:34.26\00:46:36.26
I love what Chaplain Hernell,
what you said at the very end,
00:46:36.29\00:46:39.46
because the gospel is
going for those who know Jesus
00:46:39.49\00:46:42.33
and those who don't know Him,
00:46:42.36\00:46:44.00
for the atheist
and the Christian,
00:46:44.03\00:46:45.83
it's for everyone.
00:46:45.87\00:46:47.57
3ABN Latino has
launched on the package
00:46:47.60\00:46:49.57
for that purpose.
00:46:49.60\00:46:50.94
So we just want to
encourage you at home,
00:46:50.97\00:46:53.74
if you would like to join
hands with the Ministry of 3ABN,
00:46:53.78\00:46:57.98
and you would like to
partner with us evangelistically
00:46:58.01\00:47:01.55
in taking the gospel to Cuba,
00:47:01.58\00:47:03.69
because there's a
monthly charge every month
00:47:03.72\00:47:06.19
for us to be on the
package, you can donate online,
00:47:06.22\00:47:09.36
go to 3ABN.tv,
click on the Cuba Fund
00:47:09.39\00:47:14.00
to donate there,
it's Fund Code 338.
00:47:14.03\00:47:17.27
But all you have to
do is just scroll down
00:47:17.30\00:47:19.30
and click on the
one that says Cuba.
00:47:19.33\00:47:21.37
And you can donate that way.
00:47:21.40\00:47:23.00
Or you can
always send a check in,
00:47:23.04\00:47:24.77
and you mark it Cuba
00:47:24.81\00:47:26.51
or you can give
us a call at 3ABN,
00:47:26.54\00:47:29.11
and we would love
to join hands together
00:47:29.14\00:47:32.51
and share the
gospel there in Cuba.
00:47:32.55\00:47:34.65
Also want to encourage
you maybe you have questions
00:47:34.68\00:47:37.39
you would like to know
more about the Cuba project,
00:47:37.42\00:47:41.02
you want to connect
more closely with us,
00:47:41.06\00:47:43.49
you can send us an
email at Cuba@3abn.tv
00:47:43.53\00:47:49.46
That email address
again is Cuba@3abn.tv
00:47:49.50\00:47:54.24
And we would love to
network with you that way.
00:47:54.27\00:47:57.21
Amen, this is a massive project.
00:47:57.24\00:47:58.87
And like Jill said, you know
far as the ways you can donate
00:47:58.91\00:48:01.78
for this project, we try to
make it as easy as possible.
00:48:01.81\00:48:04.41
But we also want to say
thank you for those of you
00:48:04.45\00:48:06.25
that have already stood
with us in this project,
00:48:06.28\00:48:08.75
God is providing
funds through you
00:48:08.78\00:48:10.82
to make this project viable.
00:48:10.85\00:48:12.29
You know, God
provides our needs, right?
00:48:12.32\00:48:13.76
It's just incredible
to see how this project
00:48:13.79\00:48:16.46
has been supported.
00:48:16.49\00:48:17.83
But I want to go
back to the video.
00:48:17.86\00:48:19.19
Because in that video,
you know, we saw the pastors
00:48:19.23\00:48:21.53
and that one of the gentlemen
is selling the package, right?
00:48:21.56\00:48:25.53
But also somewhere in
the middle, there was,
00:48:25.57\00:48:27.17
look like a security gentleman,
security guards or something.
00:48:27.20\00:48:31.07
Tell me a little bit about
that because during the roll
00:48:31.11\00:48:33.64
you were saying that
that's actually a checkpoint.
00:48:33.68\00:48:35.58
So they're
checkpoints inside of Cuba?
00:48:35.61\00:48:38.25
Yes.
00:48:38.28\00:48:39.61
Like between every...
00:48:39.65\00:48:40.98
Well every, I don't know.
00:48:41.02\00:48:44.45
Every time when you want
to approach any provinces,
00:48:44.49\00:48:47.56
you have to check it out.
00:48:47.59\00:48:48.92
That'd be like
counties, do you think here,
00:48:48.96\00:48:50.43
Pastor Johnny, in
the United States?
00:48:50.46\00:48:52.36
Okay, so you have a
checkpoint? Exactly.
00:48:52.39\00:48:54.76
And even when
you'll be in the city,
00:48:54.80\00:48:56.50
now you go to the...
00:48:56.53\00:48:57.97
I mean, in the
province, you go to the cities,
00:48:58.00\00:48:59.33
because they have many
cities in one province.
00:48:59.37\00:49:03.00
So every city have another one.
00:49:03.04\00:49:06.64
So you need to a
could be a nice person,
00:49:06.68\00:49:10.05
could be a rough
person, you don't know.
00:49:10.08\00:49:12.98
What are they asking you?
00:49:13.01\00:49:14.35
Well, they first,
give me your permit.
00:49:14.38\00:49:17.19
So you have to have the permit.
00:49:17.22\00:49:19.42
The second one is where you go.
00:49:19.45\00:49:23.69
So you have the
permit where you go, well,
00:49:23.73\00:49:25.79
supposedly the
answer is in the permit
00:49:25.83\00:49:27.70
there, they want to be verified.
00:49:27.73\00:49:29.33
So also they said,
well, how many days
00:49:29.36\00:49:33.34
and what is the
purpose of the visit?
00:49:33.37\00:49:36.20
Well, and you
explain and depend of them,
00:49:36.24\00:49:39.84
if you go in or you have
to return to the province.
00:49:39.87\00:49:43.31
Because each province
right now have its own protocol.
00:49:43.35\00:49:48.48
So one day, for
example, in Oriente the part,
00:49:48.52\00:49:51.85
I can never approach.
00:49:51.89\00:49:53.96
I received the advice.
00:49:53.99\00:49:55.32
The east, the east,
the east part of Cuba?
00:49:55.36\00:49:57.63
Okay. Yeah.
00:49:57.66\00:49:58.99
They said even when
you have the permit,
00:49:59.03\00:50:00.96
when you
approach to the province.
00:50:01.00\00:50:02.86
They said, well, you have
to be quarantined 10 days.
00:50:02.90\00:50:07.27
Wow.
00:50:07.30\00:50:08.74
So need many days to be there
and waiting for another one.
00:50:08.77\00:50:12.54
So that's the regulations.
00:50:12.57\00:50:14.58
Yeah, go ahead Pastor Johnny.
00:50:14.61\00:50:15.94
I would like to
share this really quick.
00:50:15.98\00:50:17.31
Please.
00:50:17.35\00:50:18.68
Because it was
just fascinating to me.
00:50:18.71\00:50:20.95
I was talking to
a man I think Jorge,
00:50:20.98\00:50:24.82
he wanted to
share his testimony,
00:50:24.85\00:50:26.76
because the
package was available.
00:50:26.79\00:50:30.43
And he took the 3ABN
Latino part to a family,
00:50:30.46\00:50:35.20
hey, let's watch this 3ABN.
00:50:35.23\00:50:37.30
This was on a Saturday,
00:50:37.33\00:50:38.67
let's watch 3ABN
programming, and they put it on
00:50:38.70\00:50:41.90
and their family was so excited.
00:50:41.94\00:50:43.97
They said, "This is wonderful.
00:50:44.01\00:50:45.51
Hey, we have some new neighbors
00:50:45.54\00:50:47.18
that have moved in
from another city."
00:50:47.21\00:50:48.81
And they invited them to
come and watch 3ABN Latino,
00:50:48.84\00:50:52.15
and they were Christians
from another denomination.
00:50:52.18\00:50:54.55
They go, "We've
never seen anything.
00:50:54.58\00:50:56.58
This is
marvelous, this is great."
00:50:56.62\00:50:58.75
And this is Saturday, when they
were watching the programming.
00:50:58.79\00:51:02.09
By Monday, it was
like two days later.
00:51:02.12\00:51:04.76
They already said,
00:51:04.79\00:51:06.29
they had already
had three Bible studies,
00:51:06.33\00:51:08.56
we want to know
more, we want to know more.
00:51:08.60\00:51:10.93
This is good news.
00:51:10.97\00:51:12.47
So it was, they
already had taken three to four
00:51:12.50\00:51:14.44
Bible studies.
00:51:14.47\00:51:15.80
And I say, wow, God is already,
00:51:15.84\00:51:18.81
the seeds are already beginning
to have little sprouts already.
00:51:18.84\00:51:22.08
Sprouts, yeah.
00:51:22.11\00:51:23.45
So praise the Lord, we hope
to see many more great harvest
00:51:23.48\00:51:27.65
of souls for Jesus.
00:51:27.68\00:51:29.12
Something come in my mind,
I visit Idalvo, Jorge Idalvo.
00:51:29.15\00:51:32.79
Jorge Idalvo.
00:51:32.82\00:51:34.16
Yeah, he is the,
he is a chaplain too.
00:51:34.19\00:51:35.82
So he says, "Pastor,
00:51:35.86\00:51:37.39
I have the honor
if you visit my home,
00:51:37.43\00:51:40.06
my family is not Adventist."
00:51:40.10\00:51:42.23
When I go over there
and talking with him.
00:51:42.26\00:51:44.30
He said, my
brother, he have a Paquete,
00:51:44.33\00:51:48.14
for he sell the Paquete.
00:51:48.17\00:51:49.74
So now from there,
00:51:49.77\00:51:51.91
they start looking
through 3ABN Latino
00:51:51.94\00:51:53.71
and the program,
Christian program
00:51:53.74\00:51:55.14
in the same place of Idalvo
00:51:55.18\00:51:57.35
because his father and
family is not Adventist.
00:51:57.38\00:51:59.88
So now they're
excited even to see.
00:51:59.91\00:52:01.65
It's amazing.
00:52:01.68\00:52:03.02
So the stories are already
coming out and 3ABN Latino
00:52:03.05\00:52:06.45
has been on the
package just over a month.
00:52:06.49\00:52:08.96
So we are excited.
00:52:08.99\00:52:10.46
And we're going to have
to hear more stories later.
00:52:10.49\00:52:12.29
What we're going to do
now is go to the news break.
00:52:12.33\00:52:14.03
