Yeah. Yeah. 00:17:49.93\00:17:51.63 Look at how God provided for you. 00:17:51.67\00:17:54.67 He was really giving you that boost their faith as well, 00:17:54.70\00:17:59.41 letting you know that I've got you, 00:17:59.44\00:18:01.31 I'm gonna walk you through this whole process. 00:18:01.34\00:18:03.88 Very validated to my faith, to my faith personally, yes. 00:18:03.91\00:18:07.38 And to take something like the Three Angels' Messages 00:18:07.42\00:18:10.35 which as Danny said, 00:18:10.39\00:18:11.79 most people don't know or don't even know. 00:18:11.82\00:18:13.15 Yeah. 00:18:13.19\00:18:14.52 And to break it down for kids 00:18:14.56\00:18:16.16 like the city is going down, I love that. 00:18:16.19\00:18:18.76 I was like, what am I gonna do for you know, 00:18:18.79\00:18:20.80 Babylon has fallen, you know? 00:18:20.83\00:18:22.90 And we just teach the little ones, 00:18:22.93\00:18:24.47 if there's trouble get out of there. 00:18:24.50\00:18:26.53 Exactly. Get out of there. 00:18:26.57\00:18:28.07 If someone tries to tell you 00:18:28.10\00:18:29.44 to break one of God's commandments, 00:18:29.47\00:18:30.81 get out of there. 00:18:30.84\00:18:32.17 That's all they have to know at that young age. 00:18:32.21\00:18:33.54 That's right. You know? 00:18:33.58\00:18:34.91 You know, what's interesting to me, too, 00:18:34.94\00:18:36.28 is our kids are being 00:18:36.31\00:18:38.41 so indoctrinated in public schools 00:18:38.45\00:18:41.02 with just stuff that is just so anti-God. 00:18:41.05\00:18:44.22 Yes. 00:18:44.25\00:18:45.59 And here we have something that is so biblical that 00:18:45.62\00:18:49.82 we can give children, 00:18:49.86\00:18:51.29 so that they understand what's going on. 00:18:51.33\00:18:53.50 We're giving them truth, counteracting the counterfeit, 00:18:53.53\00:18:56.03 so to speak. 00:18:56.06\00:18:57.40 Yeah. Yeah. So, it's such a blessing. 00:18:57.43\00:19:00.64 And, you know, what's exciting too, 00:19:00.67\00:19:02.70 is we had a school that piloted everything, 00:19:02.74\00:19:05.71 and none of their children were Seventh-day Adventists. 00:19:05.74\00:19:08.21 And those kids loved it 00:19:08.24\00:19:09.91 and wanted to start keeping the Sabbath and everything, 00:19:09.94\00:19:12.15 so it worked even for kids who are not Adventists. 00:19:12.18\00:19:15.25 So it's kind of an evangelistic tool as well? 00:19:15.28\00:19:17.59 Yeah, it is. 00:19:17.62\00:19:18.95 So what about children who are in public schools, 00:19:18.99\00:19:22.22 whose parents want them to have this curriculum? 00:19:22.26\00:19:25.33 Is this available to anyone? You know what? 00:19:25.36\00:19:27.86 Now that you should mention that, 00:19:27.90\00:19:30.37 the ink is barely dry, 00:19:30.40\00:19:32.07 but just before I came here, 00:19:32.10\00:19:33.87 I just finished tweaking this 00:19:33.90\00:19:35.94 to make it really homeschool ready. 00:19:35.97\00:19:38.11 So you'll have to watch our website. 00:19:38.14\00:19:39.87 Be sure you subscribe to our website, 00:19:39.91\00:19:42.98 ThreeAngelsForKids.com because we'll let you know. 00:19:43.01\00:19:45.98 But this homeschool edition is now in production. 00:19:46.01\00:19:48.75 It is.

There you go. 00:22:13.13\00:22:14.93 See that, to me this is huge because it's a crossover, 00:22:14.96\00:22:19.57 and when I'm talking about that, 00:22:19.60\00:22:22.24 our goal and our mission 00:22:22.27\00:22:23.61 as Seventh-day Adventist Christians 00:22:23.64\00:22:24.97 is to reach the world. 00:22:25.01\00:22:26.57 In 3ABN, we always say 00:22:26.61\00:22:27.94 with an undiluted Three Angels' Messages one would, 00:22:27.98\00:22:30.88 that would counteract the counterfeit. 00:22:30.91\00:22:33.18 So what you're doing is as I mentioned earlier, 00:22:33.21\00:22:36.22 I knew about, heard about three angels 00:22:36.25\00:22:38.49 but kind of scary, 00:22:38.52\00:22:39.99 but we actually two or three years ago 00:22:40.02\00:22:42.76 we commissioned some people to do a literally a music CD. 00:22:42.79\00:22:48.10 But one of the most well-known 00:22:48.13\00:22:51.57 would you say in America, 00:22:51.60\00:22:53.80 maybe around the world gospel, you know, songwriters. 00:22:53.84\00:22:56.94 He said, well, I don't know anything about, 00:22:56.97\00:22:59.11 so I want you to read it. 00:22:59.14\00:23:00.48 Now, of course, it's been, 00:23:00.51\00:23:01.84 he said just such a beautiful message. 00:23:01.88\00:23:03.24 But here's the thing. 00:23:03.28\00:23:04.61 He said, we need this because our churches we go 00:23:04.65\00:23:09.32 and we read everything except that. 00:23:09.35\00:23:12.59 We won't read Daniel and Revelation 00:23:12.62\00:23:14.19 because it's too scary. 00:23:14.22\00:23:15.56 Right. 00:23:15.59\00:23:16.93 So what you're doing is you're showing Jesus 00:23:16.96\00:23:19.03 in Daniel and Revelation 00:23:19.06\00:23:20.40 just like you would get it in John. 00:23:20.43\00:23:22.83 Everybody loves, any denomination. 00:23:22.86\00:23:24.70 They love Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, 00:23:24.73\00:23:26.74 but Daniel and Revelation we're scared of it. 00:23:26.77\00:23:29.07 So what you're doing is you're centering 00:23:29.10\00:23:31.34 this all around Jesus and His love for fallen man. 00:23:31.37\00:23:33.71 Yeah. 00:23:33.74\00:23:35.08 So to me, Dan, this thing should be 00:23:35.11\00:23:36.95 going to church any Christians everywhere, 00:23:36.98\00:23:40.22 I mean, we might look at possibilities 00:23:40.25\00:23:42.95 and even do a program of getting people involved 00:23:42.98\00:23:46.42 from other churches 00:23:46.45\00:23:47.79 because this is so important to get it out. 00:23:47.82\00:23:49.32 I just preached a sermon five reasons 00:23:49.36\00:23:51.36 to celebrate the judgment. 00:23:51.39\00:23:52.89 Okay. Oh, nice. 00:23:52.93\00:23:54.96 And, Danny, you're exactly right. 00:23:55.00\00:23:56.36 We're, you know, we're trying not to jump ahead of ourselves, 00:23:56.40\00:24:00.34 'cause we've done that before and it's not too good. 00:24:00.37\00:24:02.84 But we think that there is unlimited potential for this. 00:24:02.87\00:24:06.47 We're trying to get it in our schools first, 00:24:06.51\00:24:08.18 our homeschoolers, our families 00:24:08.21\00:24:09.58 and I think there are many Christians 00:24:09.61\00:24:12.18 who out there are saying this, 00:24:12.21\00:24:13.55 we have this but we have, but there's something missing. 00:24:13.58\00:24:17.39 Well just maybe we can guide them 00:24:17.42\00:24:19.65 to a little chapter in Revelation 00:24:19.69\00:24:21.56 called Revelation 14. 00:24:21.59\00:24:23.32 Absolutely. 00:24:23.36\00:24:24.69 And we can do it from a very basic level 00:24:24.73\00:24:26.66 for the kids that even adults, you know, 00:24:26.70\00:24:28.80 that poster that Sandy had up a minute ago. 00:24:28.83\00:24:30.80 That's, we boiled it down, you know, 00:24:30.83\00:24:32.77 it takes a lot more work to boil it down to a few words 00:24:32.80\00:24:35.70 than to expand it with lots of words 00:24:35.74\00:24:37.41 and this boil down 00:24:37.44\00:24:39.34 and so we think that it has huge potential 00:24:39.37\00:24:41.44 and only God knows how far this will go. 00:24:41.48\00:24:44.38 I just wanna make sure that we don't stand in the way. 00:24:44.41\00:24:46.35 That's right. 00:24:46.38\00:24:47.72 And their timing, you know, 00:24:47.75\00:24:49.08 it's God and like Him impressing you to do it. 00:24:49.12\00:24:50.52 Yeah. 00:24:50.55\00:24:51.89 The reason we know because we're excited 00:24:51.92\00:24:53.46 because this is life experiences 00:24:53.49\00:24:55.26 that we're experiencing. 00:24:55.29\00:24:56.66 There's another, I won't give his name, 00:24:56.69\00:24:58.03 but everybody would know it. 00:24:58.06\00:24:59.49 Wonder, to me, one of world's most renowned pianist. 00:24:59.53\00:25:03.67 And does gospel music, does, you know, all kinds of music. 00:25:03.70\00:25:08.40 He's been talking to us, he calls us and says, 00:25:08.44\00:25:11.11 we wanna know what's happening, 00:25:11.14\00:25:12.77 and for the future, and he says that 00:25:12.81\00:25:15.81 we're but we're gonna be raptured out. 00:25:15.84\00:25:17.98 We don't have to worry about any of that, right? 00:25:18.01\00:25:19.71 And so when we give him the news, no, it's like, 00:25:19.75\00:25:21.75 oh, no, I don't want to go through the tribulation. 00:25:21.78\00:25:24.65 Are you kidding me? 00:25:24.69\00:25:26.02 You know, we said, "No." 00:25:26.05\00:25:27.39 So we're studying 00:25:27.42\00:25:28.76 and what we're finding out the back of the book, 00:25:28.79\00:25:30.83 that's the most beautiful part of it 00:25:30.86\00:25:33.13 all is knowing the future. 00:25:33.16\00:25:35.16 The Three Angels Messages when you understand that, 00:25:35.20\00:25:38.27 now you go through 00:25:38.30\00:25:39.63 and you're not gonna be discouraged. 00:25:39.67\00:25:41.07 If you think you're not going through 00:25:41.10\00:25:42.64 any tribulation as soon as the devil hits you on, 00:25:42.67\00:25:45.41 ow, this is no fun, I'm gonna back away. 00:25:45.44\00:25:48.28 So knowing the back of the book and reading it, 00:25:48.31\00:25:51.11 so this to me, that's why this thing. 00:25:51.15\00:25:53.52 And, Dan, there's a reason the Three Angels' Messages, 00:25:53.55\00:25:56.79 it's a last day warning message 00:25:56.82\00:25:58.52 to a last generation on planet earth. 00:25:58.55\00:26:01.36 So putting it together, 00:26:01.39\00:26:02.76 whether it's music, like we've done, 00:26:02.79\00:26:04.63 John Lomacang's little book, this for kids. 00:26:04.66\00:26:07.36 And you did a song for children too that 00:26:07.40\00:26:09.30 broke down the Trinity which was really... 00:26:09.33\00:26:13.10 Music is powerful. It's amazing. 00:26:13.13\00:26:15.07 It is amazing. 00:26:15.10\00:26:16.50 The thing that is standing out to me too, 00:26:16.54\00:26:20.24 is that you are actually vindicating 00:26:20.28\00:26:22.54 God's character. 00:26:22.58\00:26:23.91 You're showing who God really is. 00:26:23.95\00:26:26.65 He's not a boogeyman. He's a God of love. 00:26:26.68\00:26:30.12 And you're showing this to children. 00:26:30.15\00:26:31.89 You don't have to be afraid of Him. 00:26:31.92\00:26:33.72 He loves you. 00:26:33.76\00:26:35.09 And so this is so important, 00:26:35.12\00:26:36.73 because it's showing who God really is. 00:26:36.76\00:26:39.69 Yeah, you know, I did, through Hope Lives 365 online. 00:26:39.73\00:26:44.20 I did a whole week of prayer for kids around the world. 00:26:44.23\00:26:46.87 We had over 200 devices tuning in from around the world. 00:26:46.90\00:26:50.41 And I put up some emojis and I asked kids, 00:26:50.44\00:26:53.71 pick one that shows 00:26:53.74\00:26:55.44 how you feel about the judgement, 00:26:55.48\00:26:56.88 and it was anonymous, an anonymous poll, 00:26:56.91\00:26:59.18 and most children picked the crying face. 00:26:59.21\00:27:02.85 And when I was finished with the week of prayer, 00:27:02.88\00:27:05.15 I asked them again, and they picked the heart. 00:27:05.19\00:27:07.19 Oh, yes, yes, yes. 00:27:07.22\00:27:10.59 The impact on kids is amazing. 00:27:10.63\00:27:12.79 And that's one thing. 00:27:12.83\00:27:14.16 You know, Sandy has been training all these teachers. 00:27:14.20\00:27:15.90 And by the way, we have full conferences 00:27:15.93\00:27:18.13 that are deploying this. 00:27:18.17\00:27:19.53 But not everybody is yet because it's pretty new. 00:27:19.57\00:27:22.10 But the impact on kids and I'm really looking forward 00:27:22.14\00:27:24.87 to her continuing to share about that, 00:27:24.91\00:27:26.24 because we want you to see 00:27:26.27\00:27:27.61 what you saw the kids give their recite. 00:27:27.64\00:27:30.58 But there's some other kids 00:27:30.61\00:27:31.95 that have dug into it a little deeper, 00:27:31.98\00:27:33.31 little older, it's pretty amazing. 00:27:33.35\00:27:34.68 Yeah. Just walk us through. 00:27:34.72\00:27:36.08 We're kind of getting, I'm getting all. 00:27:36.12\00:27:38.15 We got a lot of information again to through those pictures 00:27:38.19\00:27:40.86 and videos, whatever you got. 00:27:40.89\00:27:42.22 Yeah, yeah. 00:27:42.26\00:27:43.59 Let's look at the components of what we have. 00:27:43.63\00:27:44.96 So let's take a look at the pre K through two. 00:27:44.99\00:27:47.26 And we have beautiful artists. 00:27:47.30\00:27:48.86 This is a couple from Brazil that is doing all our artwork, 00:27:48.90\00:27:52.60 isn't that beautiful? 00:27:52.63\00:27:53.97 So we have our two, what we call anchor texts, 00:27:54.00\00:27:57.11 God makes a plan and three angels in the sky 00:27:57.14\00:27:59.11 for our pre K through two. 00:27:59.14\00:28:00.71 And we actually have them make paintings. 00:28:00.74\00:28:02.98 And we have some pictures of the kids 00:28:03.01\00:28:04.55 when I was piloting this, 00:28:04.58\00:28:06.28 doing their paintings, and they love it. 00:28:06.31\00:28:07.98 And we have them do crayon resist, 00:28:08.02\00:28:10.25 and we teach them. 00:28:10.29\00:28:11.72 What does it mean to resist? 00:28:11.75\00:28:13.15 Well, I can ask you, what does it mean to resist? 00:28:13.19\00:28:16.69 Or to avoid or... Yeah, yeah. 00:28:16.73\00:28:19.29 So if you're doing a crayon resist, 00:28:19.33\00:28:21.96 if you do your crayon on the paper, 00:28:22.00\00:28:24.97 and then you do a watercolor wash, 00:28:25.00\00:28:27.60 the paper is going to resist the crayon. 00:28:27.64\00:28:30.41 So if you make a white cloud, 00:28:30.44\00:28:31.77 you'll still see that white cloud, 00:28:31.81\00:28:33.78 but the paper will absorb the rest of the color. 00:28:33.81\00:28:36.44 So when we teach them that, 00:28:36.48\00:28:37.81 then we go to the text resist the devil 00:28:37.85\00:28:39.51 and he will flee from you and nigh to God, 00:28:39.55\00:28:41.25 He will draw nigh to you. Yes. 00:28:41.28\00:28:42.62 So we teach them. How do you resist? 00:28:42.65\00:28:44.35 And how do you do a crayon resist? 00:28:44.39\00:28:45.89 And they make these beautiful books. 00:28:45.92\00:28:47.96 And it turns out that parents love them. 00:28:47.99\00:28:49.36 They're their own. 00:28:49.39\00:28:50.73 The books are called Three Angels for Me. 00:28:50.76\00:28:52.19 Okay. 00:28:52.23\00:28:53.56 And so they illustrate and they make their paintings. 00:28:53.60\00:28:55.33 I had one parent that 00:28:55.36\00:28:56.70 like hugged the book close to herself. 00:28:56.73\00:28:58.17 She said, "Oh, I'm gonna keep this forever." 00:28:58.20\00:29:00.64 So that's something about our pre K through two, 00:29:00.67\00:29:02.74 then take a look at our grades three and four. 00:29:02.77\00:29:05.07 We have a story about a little girl 00:29:05.11\00:29:07.08 by the name of Beth and her life 00:29:07.11\00:29:09.28 just keeps tying into 00:29:09.31\00:29:10.65 the Three Angels Messages somehow. 00:29:10.68\00:29:12.51 It starts where she had been 00:29:12.55\00:29:14.58 going to the science fair 00:29:14.62\00:29:16.05 and her poster is blown out of her hands 00:29:16.08\00:29:18.45 and she's crying and she's embarrassed 00:29:18.49\00:29:20.16 and she doesn't want to go back to school 00:29:20.19\00:29:21.86 because her poster is messed up. 00:29:21.89\00:29:23.69 And when she finally goes back, 00:29:23.73\00:29:25.56 the school is clapping, what's going on? 00:29:25.59\00:29:28.00 They have retrieved the poster and they have cleaned it up. 00:29:28.03\00:29:30.73 And the teacher says this is a good introduction 00:29:30.77\00:29:32.93 to the Three Angels for kids. 00:29:32.97\00:29:35.50 I mean the Three Angels Messages, 00:29:35.54\00:29:36.87 I'm saying my own, 00:29:36.91\00:29:38.24 even in my company, I like it so much. 00:29:38.27\00:29:40.88 But anyway, she says, "What do you mean?" 00:29:40.91\00:29:43.71 And then the teacher talks about 00:29:43.75\00:29:45.31 how Jesus takes the mistakes 00:29:45.35\00:29:47.05 that we make and makes it beautiful again. 00:29:47.08\00:29:50.02 And then the little girl has gotten the date wrong, 00:29:50.05\00:29:51.99 she's so, well, that's okay, but I missed the science fair. 00:29:52.02\00:29:54.99 Oh, no, you got the date wrong. 00:29:55.02\00:29:56.49 Oh, that ties into 00:29:56.52\00:29:57.86 the Three Angels Messages as well, 00:29:57.89\00:29:59.46 and then they talked about the great disappointment. 00:29:59.49\00:30:01.40 So it all ties in through the book. 00:30:01.43\00:30:03.40 And I actually have a third and fourth grade teacher 00:30:03.43\00:30:05.40 who wanted to say, 00:30:05.43\00:30:06.84 a little validating something here. 00:30:06.87\00:30:08.44 These are our fifth and sixth grade materials. 00:30:08.47\00:30:10.21 But if we have the video, 00:30:10.24\00:30:11.67 we can show you the teacher that wanted to say something 00:30:11.71\00:30:14.31 about it that was in the pilot that 00:30:14.34\00:30:17.08 really loved it 00:30:17.11\00:30:18.45 when she taught it to third and fourth graders. 00:30:18.48\00:30:19.88 I don't know if you can pull that up. 00:30:19.91\00:30:21.28 Sure. Yeah, yeah. 00:30:21.32\00:30:22.65 Great. All right. Let's take a look. 00:30:22.68\00:30:24.22 There was a lot to love about the unit. 00:30:24.25\00:30:26.25 And I wanna start 00:30:26.29\00:30:27.62 with I loved how you made the Three Angels; Message 00:30:27.66\00:30:30.66 accessible to children. 00:30:30.69\00:30:32.39 I felt like a lot of them had no idea 00:30:32.43\00:30:34.50 what the Three Angels' Message was. 00:30:34.53\00:30:36.77 When we did our initial writing piece 00:30:36.80\00:30:39.70 where they were supposed to talk about 00:30:39.73\00:30:41.17 the Three Angels' Message, 00:30:41.20\00:30:42.54 most of them said, I don't know. 00:30:42.57\00:30:44.37 Yesterday, we read it. 00:30:44.41\00:30:46.04 And a lot of them wrote like 00:30:46.07\00:30:48.14 almost a full page on the things 00:30:48.18\00:30:50.28 that they've learned about Three Angels' Message. 00:30:50.31\00:30:51.98 So they were really able to internalize it 00:30:52.01\00:30:54.72 and understand its meaning. 00:30:54.75\00:30:58.05 A couple of my students were so excited 00:30:58.09\00:30:59.89 about the message that they went home, 00:30:59.92\00:31:01.86 and on their own started 00:31:01.89\00:31:03.22 studying the Book of Revelation, 00:31:03.26\00:31:04.63 and specifically the Three Angels' Message. 00:31:04.66\00:31:06.36 And then a couple of days later, 00:31:06.39\00:31:07.83 one of them came back and he was so excited 00:31:07.86\00:31:09.73 because he went even further and said, 00:31:09.76\00:31:11.77 "There's more, there's more to the story." 00:31:11.80\00:31:13.74 Yeah. 00:31:13.77\00:31:15.10 And I think that was a little boy 00:31:15.14\00:31:16.47 that was not a Seventh-day Adventist 00:31:16.50\00:31:17.84 that was so excited. 00:31:17.87\00:31:19.21 So and by the way, 00:31:19.24\00:31:20.58 that's West Coast Christian Academy. 00:31:20.61\00:31:22.18 That was April Noah, third and fourth grade teacher 00:31:22.21\00:31:25.05 down in Florida, where I live. 00:31:25.08\00:31:26.41 Yeah, yeah. 00:31:26.45\00:31:27.78 And then I think they did show you our fifth 00:31:27.82\00:31:29.62 and sixth grade materials. 00:31:29.65\00:31:30.99 So we can take a peek at those again, 00:31:31.02\00:31:32.35 but those are booklets. 00:31:32.39\00:31:33.72 There are 10 booklets. 00:31:33.76\00:31:35.09 And they are actually in sets of two. 00:31:35.12\00:31:37.46 And so the students read those two booklets 00:31:37.49\00:31:40.13 and then they get a question that has to do 00:31:40.16\00:31:41.83 with the Three Angels' Messages. 00:31:41.86\00:31:43.37 And so they tie it all together. 00:31:43.40\00:31:44.73 And you might be interested to know 00:31:44.77\00:31:46.10 that the first booklet Lost in the Jungle is about 00:31:46.13\00:31:49.60 my brother, Mark Finley, 00:31:49.64\00:31:51.31 when he was a student missionary, 00:31:51.34\00:31:52.97 and he got lost in the jungle 00:31:53.01\00:31:54.34 before the days of internet 00:31:54.38\00:31:55.98 or email or texting or anything. 00:31:56.01\00:31:58.48 GPS. Exactly. Exactly. 00:31:58.51\00:32:00.58 His job as a young student missionary 00:32:00.62\00:32:02.62 was to push somehow to get an ambulance 00:32:02.65\00:32:05.35 through the jungle terminals. 00:32:05.39\00:32:06.72 And I mean, 00:32:06.76\00:32:08.09 they went in the middle of places 00:32:08.12\00:32:09.46 where they were no other human beings. 00:32:09.49\00:32:11.96 Finally, they came across 00:32:11.99\00:32:13.33 some kind of an indigenous tribe there 00:32:13.36\00:32:15.10 and Mark did some kind of a barter 00:32:15.13\00:32:17.50 because he hadn't had food for days. 00:32:17.53\00:32:20.04 And so that we tie into bringing the gospel 00:32:20.07\00:32:22.50 to the whole world. 00:32:22.54\00:32:23.87 Okay. 00:32:23.91\00:32:25.24 And then the companion piece to that is about an older man, 00:32:25.27\00:32:28.28 Abraham LaRue, who brought the gospel to China 00:32:28.31\00:32:30.28 and then we asked them, 00:32:30.31\00:32:31.65 what does it take to be a missionary? 00:32:31.68\00:32:33.28 What does it take? 00:32:33.31\00:32:34.65 You know, and it's not about age, it's for sure. 00:32:34.68\00:32:37.59 You'll notice that there are 10 of those. 00:32:37.62\00:32:39.45 Yes.

I said, what? 00:38:58.67\00:39:01.10 And he said, I have not thought about 00:39:01.14\00:39:02.64 that for decades but yesterday I found the file. 00:39:02.67\00:39:05.61 He gave me the file that thick. Wow. 00:39:05.64\00:39:08.88 And I went through all of that paperwork 00:39:08.91\00:39:11.21 and wrote that chapter. 00:39:11.25\00:39:13.05 So those are three different things 00:39:13.08\00:39:14.62 that I've told you today. 00:39:14.65\00:39:15.98 So it's been very faith building. 00:39:16.02\00:39:17.35 It's been very humbling. 00:39:17.39\00:39:19.05 I tend to be an extrovert and I said, 00:39:19.09\00:39:20.66 it's all Dan's fault, I was quarantined 00:39:20.69\00:39:22.49 before it was even a thing. 00:39:22.52\00:39:24.39 Yes, I've been in a chair writing. 00:39:24.43\00:39:26.09 An extrovert or introvert? 00:39:26.13\00:39:27.46 No I'm a natural extrovert, 00:39:27.50\00:39:29.03 and I've been writing for years now. 00:39:29.06\00:39:32.13 She's been behind that screen, look at that. 00:39:32.17\00:39:33.64 Yeah. 00:39:33.67\00:39:35.00 Before the pandemic even happened, 00:39:35.04\00:39:36.81 I was quarantined because I was writing. 00:39:36.84\00:39:38.47 So it's been very humbling. 00:39:38.51\00:39:41.48 Because it's like, okay, you know, 00:39:41.51\00:39:43.18 you're just behind the scenes, writing, just be good, 00:39:43.21\00:39:46.31 just do it or get out of the chair. 00:39:46.35\00:39:48.68 God's got a work for you to do so. 00:39:48.72\00:39:50.69 So that's been, you know, 00:39:50.72\00:39:52.62 quite an interesting part of it. 00:39:52.65\00:39:55.39 But we've had a big interest not just among church schools 00:39:55.42\00:39:57.89 has been, you know, 00:39:57.93\00:39:59.26 we've had the home school market. 00:39:59.29\00:40:00.86 We even have some pictures of homeschoolers. 00:40:00.90\00:40:03.30 And you know, this has gone so well. 00:40:03.33\00:40:05.30 These are actually the grandchildren 00:40:05.33\00:40:07.10 of our project assistant, this has gone so well. 00:40:07.14\00:40:09.54 We've hired Yvette Cooper to be our project assistant 00:40:09.57\00:40:13.34 and her daughter, Ninea, homeschools her children. 00:40:13.38\00:40:16.28 And so we wanted to show 00:40:16.31\00:40:17.65 these little homeschool children, 00:40:17.68\00:40:19.01 you see the little one and all of that. 00:40:19.05\00:40:20.98 Yeah, so we have a very big interest. 00:40:21.02\00:40:23.65 And again, we have our online classes, 00:40:23.69\00:40:28.36 we have our North American Division endorsements. 00:40:28.39\00:40:31.39 So it's just going in so many directions. 00:40:31.43\00:40:33.60 I don't know, 00:40:33.63\00:40:34.96 should we tell him about the animations at all? 00:40:35.00\00:40:36.56 Well, we can do that in just a second. 00:40:36.60\00:40:37.93 Before we get the animations, 00:40:37.97\00:40:39.30 I think it would be cool to just talk about 00:40:39.33\00:40:41.07 the different experiences you've had, Sandy, 00:40:41.10\00:40:43.30 in the different conferences 00:40:43.34\00:40:45.41 where you've been working with teachers. 00:40:45.44\00:40:46.78 Give a few reports on a couple of teachers? 00:40:46.81\00:40:48.44 Yes, yes, yes. 00:40:48.48\00:40:49.81 That has been very exciting. 00:40:49.84\00:40:51.28 You know, with the pandemic, 00:40:51.31\00:40:52.68 there has been a different kind of response. 00:40:52.71\00:40:55.28 How do you do these trainings, but some ways, you know, 00:40:55.32\00:40:57.99 it works out better, 00:40:58.02\00:40:59.35 because you can do more maybe than you could. 00:40:59.39\00:41:01.12 But I've done some in person. 00:41:01.16\00:41:03.73 And we've done some Zoom meetings with teachers. 00:41:03.76\00:41:06.96 And we do, people are very grateful, 00:41:07.00\00:41:09.23 they are thanking me, 00:41:09.26\00:41:10.60 you know, every time I do this, and actually we do have a video 00:41:10.63\00:41:14.27 of myself doing a Zoom. 00:41:14.30\00:41:16.84 And this was in the Southwest Regional Conference 00:41:16.87\00:41:19.67 and the Southwest Regional Conference. 00:41:19.71\00:41:21.98 I really have to hand it to them, 00:41:22.01\00:41:23.45 because they got behind this. 00:41:23.48\00:41:25.55 This was Buford Griffith, he's from Montana. 00:41:25.58\00:41:27.95 Do you know him? I was in college with him. 00:41:27.98\00:41:29.55 Oh, my goodness. He's a go-getter. 00:41:29.58\00:41:31.15 He jumped right on this thing.

We should see that. 00:42:14.70\00:42:16.03 The pastor that was validating this whole thing. 00:42:16.06\00:42:19.40 Good. 00:42:19.43\00:42:20.77 Elder Griffin, can I say real quick, man, 00:42:20.80\00:42:22.90 I really enjoyed the presentation. 00:42:22.94\00:42:24.97 I think this is fantastic. 00:42:25.01\00:42:27.18 I can't say enough about it in terms of the value 00:42:27.21\00:42:30.38 it would be for us in children's ministries. 00:42:30.41\00:42:33.31 And I suspect that it's because it's contextualized 00:42:33.35\00:42:36.69 for the kids is gonna benefit a lot of adults too, 00:42:36.72\00:42:39.65 because they'll work their way 00:42:39.69\00:42:42.12 with progressive revelation from understanding the basics, 00:42:42.16\00:42:47.00 moving on up so much success to this program. 00:42:47.03\00:42:50.10 Amen. Yeah. 00:42:50.13\00:42:51.63 That used to be my conference when I was in Dallas. 00:42:51.67\00:42:53.07 Is that right? Yeah. 00:42:53.10\00:42:54.44 Wow. 00:42:54.47\00:42:55.80 And we were pretty impressed with how they jumped on this. 00:42:55.84\00:42:58.37 They recognize you when you do something 00:42:58.41\00:43:00.61 like this you really appreciate it 00:43:00.64\00:43:02.04 when someone recognizes what it is, 00:43:02.08\00:43:04.41 and they did. 00:43:04.45\00:43:05.78 Yeah. Now there's been others. 00:43:05.81\00:43:07.15 I mean, I look at North Pacific, 00:43:07.18\00:43:08.55 I look at you know, 00:43:08.58\00:43:10.09 different areas around our country. 00:43:10.12\00:43:12.82 And teachers, I've... 00:43:12.85\00:43:14.19 Sandy will tell me about the teachers 00:43:14.22\00:43:15.56 and sometimes I will have opportunity 00:43:15.59\00:43:16.93 to hear from them. 00:43:16.96\00:43:18.29 And it's just like, finally, 00:43:18.33\00:43:19.66 we have something that is 00:43:19.69\00:43:21.03 within our own belief structure. 00:43:21.06\00:43:23.20 We're not having to rewrite something 00:43:23.23\00:43:24.70 somebody else did somewhere. 00:43:24.73\00:43:26.13 And this is talking about the core issue. 00:43:26.17\00:43:27.54 Yeah. 00:43:27.57\00:43:28.90 And so that has been very rewarding to me 00:43:28.94\00:43:30.27 and I noticed Sandy as well. 00:43:30.31\00:43:31.84 Yeah, something else I did, 00:43:31.87\00:43:34.01 because I have a heart for teachers 00:43:34.04\00:43:35.78 and I have a heart for teaching children to read. 00:43:35.81\00:43:38.71 You know, I never planned on getting a doctorate 00:43:38.75\00:43:41.65 or anything like that in our family. 00:43:41.68\00:43:43.15 My dad was actually a high school dropout, 00:43:43.18\00:43:46.42 because he was just passed around 00:43:46.45\00:43:48.82 from relative to relative, 00:43:48.86\00:43:50.19 he went to 17 schools in 11 years, 00:43:50.23\00:43:52.49 had a very hard background. 00:43:52.53\00:43:53.86 But then he started 00:43:53.90\00:43:55.23 his own business and everything. 00:43:55.26\00:43:56.60 But I never planned on getting a doctorate. 00:43:56.63\00:43:59.00 But it turned out that 00:43:59.03\00:44:00.67 my own son was struggling to read 00:44:00.70\00:44:03.04 and I was trying to figure my own son out. 00:44:03.07\00:44:05.21 And that's why I went and ended up 00:44:05.24\00:44:07.21 getting a degree in special education 00:44:07.24\00:44:08.98 on the doctoral level. 00:44:09.01\00:44:10.55 So I just have this passion for kids 00:44:10.58\00:44:13.01 that are trying to learn to read 00:44:13.05\00:44:14.38 and teachers that are trying to figure out 00:44:14.42\00:44:15.85 what to do about it. 00:44:15.88\00:44:17.49 So there is curriculum embedded in this is the Bible 00:44:17.52\00:44:22.02 and teaching children to read 00:44:22.06\00:44:23.79 and teaching children to become better writers is all in it. 00:44:23.83\00:44:26.76 And when I did the third and fourth grade, 00:44:26.80\00:44:28.63 you know I'm coming along, I had the idea for this book, 00:44:28.66\00:44:31.33 God put it in my mind. 00:44:31.37\00:44:32.93 In fact, I'm writing a sequel now that He put in my mind. 00:44:32.97\00:44:36.07 I got about five chapters in 00:44:36.10\00:44:37.77 and God said, you know what, Sandy? 00:44:37.81\00:44:40.11 There could be some kids in that class 00:44:40.14\00:44:41.74 that are struggling readers. 00:44:41.78\00:44:43.58 I thought now what am I going to do 00:44:43.61\00:44:45.18 and I was using a tool. 00:44:45.21\00:44:46.85 It's called Flesch-Kincaid that you can put 00:44:46.88\00:44:49.55 any piece of writing in and see what grade level 00:44:49.58\00:44:51.69 you're writing at. 00:44:51.72\00:44:53.05 And the reason I was using it. I don't wanna do that. 00:44:53.09\00:44:56.73 I better be aware what she said. 00:44:56.76\00:44:58.79 Don't be looking me in my book, and grade in on that. 00:44:58.83\00:45:01.60 What would be your guess? 00:45:01.63\00:45:02.96 What do you think that like, 00:45:03.00\00:45:04.33 Reader's Digest or something like that? 00:45:04.37\00:45:05.70 What do you think the average reading level 00:45:05.73\00:45:07.07 for the average person is on? 00:45:07.10\00:45:09.00 That's like a grade level now? 00:45:09.04\00:45:10.37 Yeah. What grade level do you think? 00:45:10.41\00:45:11.74 Like six to eight or something. Yeah, exactly. 00:45:11.77\00:45:14.04 Good for you. Yeah. Yeah. 00:45:14.08\00:45:15.61 Like Reader's Digest anything like that is the seventh grade, 00:45:15.64\00:45:18.38 seventh grade reading level is what's pitched to anything. 00:45:18.41\00:45:21.32 For adults there's usually some grade reading level. 00:45:21.35\00:45:23.08 I haven't been reading that Reader's Digest lately. 00:45:23.12\00:45:26.86 But your average magazine or something seventh grade. 00:45:26.89\00:45:28.69 Yeah. 00:45:28.72\00:45:30.06 So anyway, you know, 00:45:30.09\00:45:31.43 how do I write something for third and fourth? 00:45:31.46\00:45:33.09 So what I did was, 00:45:33.13\00:45:34.76 I read a lot of books on third and fourth. 00:45:34.80\00:45:36.33 So I was thinking like that. 00:45:36.36\00:45:38.27 And then I would write a chapter, 00:45:38.30\00:45:39.73 then I would put it into Flesch-Kincaid, 00:45:39.77\00:45:41.40 and it would tell me like 3.2, okay, 00:45:41.44\00:45:43.77 I'm on, that's third grade, second month. 00:45:43.81\00:45:46.01 But if it was too high, 00:45:46.04\00:45:47.71 then you'd have to do two things, 00:45:47.74\00:45:49.08 you have to take the vocabulary down, 00:45:49.11\00:45:50.71 and you have to take the sentence structure down. 00:45:50.75\00:45:53.21 And then if it was too low, you have to bring it up. 00:45:53.25\00:45:55.48 So I did that for five chapters. 00:45:55.52\00:45:57.19 And the Lord said, well, Sandy, 00:45:57.22\00:45:58.55 you got to write it on a lower reading level. 00:45:58.59\00:46:00.19 Now I'm like, it was bad as Dan, 00:46:00.22\00:46:02.32 give me trained literature. 00:46:02.36\00:46:05.13 So when I did, I wrote those first five chapters 00:46:05.16\00:46:08.10 on a second grade reading level, 00:46:08.13\00:46:09.86 I kept getting it down to very basic vocabulary. 00:46:09.90\00:46:13.27 And then after that, the book is 20 chapters long, 00:46:13.30\00:46:16.00 every time I did a chapter, I did it in third and fourth, 00:46:16.04\00:46:18.81 and I did in second grade. 00:46:18.84\00:46:20.38 Well, then the Lord said that, Sandy, 00:46:20.41\00:46:21.78 there could be some gifted readers in that class. 00:46:21.81\00:46:24.18 I was like, oh, so then I wrote it a third time. 00:46:24.21\00:46:27.75 So if you order our third and fourth grade curriculum, 00:46:27.78\00:46:30.85 it's written on a second grade reading level, 00:46:30.89\00:46:32.82 it's written on a third and fourth grade reading level, 00:46:32.85\00:46:34.82 it's written on fifth and sixth. 00:46:34.86\00:46:36.19 So those multi grade, I've had multi grades, 00:46:36.22\00:46:38.86 somebody in a one rates, one room, say it for me one... 00:46:38.89\00:46:42.36 One room schoolhouse. Thank you. 00:46:42.40\00:46:44.97 Did that curriculum, and every kid loved it, 00:46:45.00\00:46:47.34 like they get so excited about it. 00:46:47.37\00:46:49.60 In those booklets for grades five and six, 00:46:49.64\00:46:52.01 it's the same thing. 00:46:52.04\00:46:53.38 They're written on three different reading levels 00:46:53.41\00:46:55.24 inside the booklets. 00:46:55.28\00:46:56.61 And the reason teachers like it is that 00:46:56.64\00:46:58.91 they don't have to give you a different passage to read, 00:46:58.95\00:47:01.52 we can all talk about the same material, 00:47:01.55\00:47:03.62 it's accessible to everybody. 00:47:03.65\00:47:05.15 Yes. My brain is kind of, going... 00:47:05.19\00:47:08.29 You know, I'm thinking about... Try Writer's Ally. 00:47:08.32\00:47:10.56 On the literacy thing. 00:47:10.59\00:47:12.83 Oh, man. 00:47:12.86\00:47:15.43 If you can't read, you can't do anything. 00:47:15.46\00:47:16.90 Exactly. So this is so critical. 00:47:16.93\00:47:19.57 I'm thinking about people 00:47:19.60\00:47:20.94 who are incarcerated who can't really read, 00:47:20.97\00:47:23.44 who would benefit so beautifully from this on 00:47:23.47\00:47:27.11 so many different levels, 00:47:27.14\00:47:28.48 like you can start them out at a lower level. 00:47:28.51\00:47:31.71 So I mean, this could be an amazing. 00:47:31.75\00:47:33.35 We think, Yvonne, 00:47:33.38\00:47:35.22 we think there are many different applications 00:47:35.25\00:47:37.95 as example some that have already happened. 00:47:37.99\00:47:39.49 We have a school in Madison, 00:47:39.52\00:47:40.86 Tennessee, and our academy there. 00:47:40.89\00:47:42.32 They decided this summer to make it the VBS. 00:47:42.36\00:47:44.59 They crafted it and made it 00:47:44.63\00:47:45.96 a VBS program, Sabbath schools. 00:47:45.99\00:47:47.33 Yes. 00:47:47.36\00:47:48.70 Sabbath schools, or even Sunday schools, 00:47:48.73\00:47:51.30 they write out. 00:47:51.33\00:47:52.67 You know, this could be used 00:47:52.70\00:47:54.20 in a church Sabbath program verynicely. 00:47:54.24\00:47:57.11 So we think that there are many different things 00:47:57.14\00:47:58.94 now that the core has done. 00:47:58.97\00:48:00.31 That's why I've been telling Sandy, okay, 00:48:00.34\00:48:01.68 the core is gonna get done. 00:48:01.71\00:48:03.04 But what you're going to be amazed at what God does. 00:48:03.08\00:48:04.51 Give me one piece of time, 00:48:04.55\00:48:06.41 now that the core is done, 00:48:06.45\00:48:07.85 we're doing the second wave of the core. 00:48:07.88\00:48:09.82 I'm already writing more curriculum. 00:48:09.85\00:48:11.32 And one thing we forgot to tell them 00:48:11.35\00:48:13.09 too was about the international. 00:48:13.12\00:48:14.76 That's right. 00:48:14.79\00:48:16.12 You know, I was at as DESA, 00:48:16.16\00:48:19.33 where you have administrators of education, 00:48:19.36\00:48:21.53 and I met some people from Germany, 00:48:21.56\00:48:23.40 and they became so excited that 00:48:23.43\00:48:25.53 they asked us to do this in German. 00:48:25.57\00:48:27.94 And so we did the third and fourth grade level. 00:48:27.97\00:48:30.57 And I presented this online to Bogenhofen University 00:48:30.61\00:48:34.24 in Austria to the education majors. 00:48:34.28\00:48:36.85 So when the education majors 00:48:36.88\00:48:38.38 in Austria get out into the field, 00:48:38.41\00:48:40.58 that's what they're going to be doing is Three Angels. 00:48:40.62\00:48:43.49 That's great. Yeah and Burton... 00:48:43.52\00:48:46.72 Burton Wattenberg Conference? 00:48:46.76\00:48:48.39 Wattenberg, I think that's right. 00:48:48.42\00:48:49.76 I won't try to figure that one. 00:48:49.79\00:48:53.46 So it's going international, which worldwide take 00:48:53.50\00:48:55.73 the Three Angels' Messages into all the world. 00:48:55.76\00:48:58.03 Jesus said, "Go ye into all the world." 00:48:58.07\00:48:59.93 Now the only enemy we have here today is the clock. 00:48:59.97\00:49:02.90 And so what I want to do, 00:49:02.94\00:49:04.81 now we've done thousands of programs, 00:49:04.84\00:49:06.88 but it's not fair of you two to come in 00:49:06.91\00:49:09.38 and tell u these great stories 00:49:09.41\00:49:10.88 without telling us how we can participate. 00:49:10.91\00:49:13.21 So we need...
