Hello, friends, welcome to
another edition of 3ABN Today.
00:01:05.49\00:01:09.40
And my name is Ryan Day,
and it is a blessing, as always,
00:01:09.60\00:01:12.90
to have our
friends, our family members,
00:01:12.93\00:01:15.17
from all around the world
00:01:15.20\00:01:16.54
joining us during
this special hour.
00:01:16.57\00:01:18.87
We have all kinds of
different 3ABN Today programs.
00:01:18.91\00:01:21.78
Sometimes it might
be a cooking program
00:01:21.81\00:01:23.98
where you're learning how to,
you know, cook special recipes
00:01:24.01\00:01:26.78
and good healthy meals.
00:01:26.82\00:01:28.15
It could be a Today Bible
program where we take on a
00:01:28.18\00:01:31.45
Bible topic and we dig
deep into the Word of God
00:01:31.49\00:01:33.92
and learn all about what
the Bible teaches on a subject.
00:01:33.96\00:01:36.42
It could be a
Today music program.
00:01:36.62\00:01:38.99
You've seen myself and
Tim, and other musical guests,
00:01:39.03\00:01:41.46
around the piano.
00:01:41.50\00:01:42.83
Those are also a
special Today program.
00:01:42.86\00:01:45.53
It may be a 3ABN
Today Bible Q and A program
00:01:45.57\00:01:49.34
that airs on Mondays.
00:01:49.37\00:01:50.71
If you haven't checked
that out, then you need to.
00:01:50.74\00:01:52.51
Get your Bible
questions answered.
00:01:52.54\00:01:54.28
All different types of
Today programs that we have.
00:01:54.44\00:01:56.88
Today on this Today program
we're going to be interviewing,
00:01:56.91\00:02:00.98
we're going to be
getting a special update
00:02:01.02\00:02:03.59
from our good
friend, Rodney Reynold,
00:02:03.62\00:02:05.12
the 3ABN representative
from Trinidad and Tobago.
00:02:05.15\00:02:08.22
How are you doing, my brother?
00:02:08.26\00:02:09.59
I'm great, thank you.
00:02:09.62\00:02:10.96
~ Amen. Praise the Lord.
00:02:10.99\00:02:12.33
Rodney has come with lots
and lots of incredible updates
00:02:12.36\00:02:15.53
to show us just what God
is doing in the country of
00:02:15.63\00:02:18.53
Trinidad and Tobago.
00:02:18.57\00:02:19.90
So it's just going
to be a blessed hour.
00:02:19.93\00:02:21.27
You're not going to
want to go anywhere.
00:02:21.30\00:02:22.64
But before we do, we're going
to have a special musical number
00:02:22.70\00:02:26.37
that's going to be
brought to us right now
00:02:26.47\00:02:28.44
by Mr. Gene McDonald.
00:02:28.48\00:02:30.35
You know, when I was in
college, a guy by the name of
00:02:31.85\00:02:34.68
Carroll
McGruder wrote this song.
00:02:34.72\00:02:36.22
And his wife, Priscilla sang it.
00:02:36.62\00:02:39.25
And it was just amazing to me.
00:02:39.62\00:02:42.29
I didn't realize
until I heard this song
00:02:44.26\00:02:47.33
that you can never
walk too far from God.
00:02:47.36\00:02:49.76
You know, He will allow
you back no matter what.
00:02:50.40\00:02:54.10
And this song means a
lot to me because of that.
00:02:54.47\00:02:57.21
I was lost; with loving
hands He reached for me.
00:03:08.98\00:03:18.89
So tenderly He
sought to give me victory.
00:03:19.06\00:03:29.04
Yet, stubbornly I would
not heed the Savior's plea.
00:03:29.10\00:03:39.05
But patiently He kept loving me.
00:03:40.45\00:03:50.39
He kept right on loving when
there was no love in return.
00:03:51.43\00:04:00.87
He kept right on pleading
when His voice I would spurn.
00:04:01.30\00:04:10.95
And though I
went my selfish way,
00:04:11.11\00:04:16.15
and I failed Him miserably,
00:04:16.18\00:04:21.92
patiently He kept loving me.
00:04:22.12\00:04:31.73
Today I know that it was
only grace that set me free.
00:04:37.71\00:04:47.15
God could have just
as easily gave up on me.
00:04:47.35\00:04:55.52
Oh, persistently He dealt
with me until I let Him in.
00:04:55.56\00:05:05.50
Oh, I thank my God
that He kept loving me.
00:05:05.93\00:05:15.88
He kept right on loving when
there was no love in return.
00:05:17.28\00:05:27.26
He kept right on pleading
when His voice I would spurn.
00:05:27.29\00:05:36.33
And though I
went my selfish way,
00:05:36.77\00:05:41.37
and I failed Him miserably,
00:05:41.40\00:05:45.11
oh I thank my God
that He kept loving me.
00:05:45.14\00:05:55.08
Oh praise the Lord,
00:05:57.09\00:06:00.09
He kept loving me.
00:06:00.29\00:06:10.27
Amen, amen. Praise God.
00:06:23.28\00:06:25.98
Thank you so much, Gene
and our good friend Tim Parton
00:06:26.01\00:06:29.02
at the piano there.
00:06:29.05\00:06:30.39
My goodness, just
such a beautiful song.
00:06:30.42\00:06:31.95
He just kept loving me.
00:06:32.95\00:06:34.29
That's what this is all about.
00:06:34.32\00:06:36.19
That's what this
life is really all about.
00:06:36.22\00:06:38.26
God trying to show and express
and share His love with us
00:06:38.29\00:06:41.66
in hopes that it
will draw us to Him.
00:06:41.70\00:06:43.90
And praise the Lord for that.
00:06:44.00\00:06:45.40
Thank you, guys.
It's such a blessed song.
00:06:45.43\00:06:47.77
If you're just now tuning
in, you are watching 3ABN Today.
00:06:48.07\00:06:51.31
And you're not too late, because
we're about to jump right in
00:06:51.34\00:06:55.78
to getting to know Mr. Rodney
Reynold at little better and
00:06:55.81\00:06:58.51
what God is doing in Trinidad
and Tobago on behalf of 3ABN.
00:06:58.55\00:07:02.88
And so, Rodney, tell us a little
bit about yourself, brother.
00:07:02.92\00:07:06.45
Because there may be, we
have new viewers all the time
00:07:06.49\00:07:08.32
that are tuning into 3ABN.
00:07:08.36\00:07:09.69
And while some of our viewers
may be familiar with you,
00:07:09.72\00:07:11.96
others may not be, so tell
us a little bit about yourself,
00:07:11.99\00:07:14.60
where you're from, and how
you got connected with 3ABN
00:07:14.63\00:07:17.47
and becoming a representative.
00:07:17.50\00:07:19.07
Ryan, thank you
for having us here.
00:07:19.63\00:07:22.00
I became a 3ABN
volunteer over 18 years ago.
00:07:23.27\00:07:27.74
I met Danny Shelton
on the island of Trinidad
00:07:27.78\00:07:30.51
and Tobago when he came.
00:07:30.55\00:07:32.11
He spoke about many
aspects of what 3ABN does,
00:07:32.68\00:07:37.45
and I found it to be
really dynamic and amazing.
00:07:37.49\00:07:42.12
And it reaches
people's souls at their home.
00:07:42.16\00:07:46.16
And we had a great challenge
on our island reaching people
00:07:46.39\00:07:48.53
because there
were gated communities.
00:07:48.56\00:07:50.03
And I said, "Yes."
00:07:50.07\00:07:51.40
And that's how I came on board.
00:07:51.57\00:07:52.90
And 18 years after,
it's been an amazing journey.
00:07:52.93\00:07:55.50
~ Amen. Praise the Lord.
00:07:55.54\00:07:56.87
Were you born and
raised in Trinidad/Tobago?
00:07:56.91\00:07:58.51
Born and raised in
Trinidad, a beautiful island,
00:07:58.54\00:08:01.21
on the east coast in
north Manzanilla side.
00:08:01.24\00:08:04.81
And it's countryside.
00:08:04.85\00:08:06.98
It's just beautiful.
00:08:07.48\00:08:08.82
I'm now on the west coast,
which is in Port of Spain.
00:08:08.85\00:08:11.29
And it's just amazing.
00:08:11.32\00:08:12.65
We have a
population of 1.5 million.
00:08:12.69\00:08:14.66
We love food on our island.
00:08:15.42\00:08:17.03
And the people on our island, no
matter how much we go through,
00:08:17.13\00:08:20.76
our challenges, personal
challenges with family and such,
00:08:21.06\00:08:24.00
there's a great number
of love, as we would see
00:08:24.10\00:08:26.84
in some of the
projects that we do.
00:08:27.07\00:08:29.04
And what we capture
here today is just essence of
00:08:29.14\00:08:32.67
some of what we do
in the island to share
00:08:32.71\00:08:35.24
God's love, God's
mercies, God's blessings,
00:08:35.28\00:08:38.11
and much, much more.
00:08:38.15\00:08:39.68
Amen.
00:08:39.71\00:08:41.05
So what are the religious
demographics like there
00:08:41.08\00:08:44.49
in Trinidad and Tobago?
00:08:44.52\00:08:46.02
Is it mostly
Protestant? Is it Catholic?
00:08:46.05\00:08:48.89
If someone were
to take a trip there,
00:08:49.59\00:08:51.66
would they see
churches on every street corner
00:08:51.76\00:08:54.03
like they might here in America?
00:08:54.06\00:08:55.40
What's it like there?
00:08:55.43\00:08:56.77
We have 160-plus churches,
Seventh-day Adventist churches,
00:08:57.63\00:09:01.37
in the island,
however, the Catholic are more
00:09:01.40\00:09:05.01
dominant in the island.
00:09:05.04\00:09:06.44
And it's just, everyone
comes together at times in need.
00:09:06.84\00:09:11.98
And there's a great deal
of love, unity, and fellowship
00:09:12.01\00:09:15.02
among each other.
00:09:15.05\00:09:16.38
We don't say, you are of this
faith and you are of that faith,
00:09:17.15\00:09:19.65
but there's that love.
00:09:19.69\00:09:21.22
There's that love
there for each other.
00:09:21.26\00:09:23.79
And we have a lot
of respect as well.
00:09:23.99\00:09:26.49
~ Sure. Praise the Lord.
00:09:26.53\00:09:27.86
Man, that's incredible.
00:09:27.90\00:09:29.23
Something we could probably
learn a little bit about here
00:09:29.26\00:09:31.23
in America where
there's a little bit more of a,
00:09:31.27\00:09:33.74
I guess you could say,
maybe religious division here
00:09:33.77\00:09:36.34
in this country as opposed
to maybe other countries.
00:09:36.44\00:09:38.67
But that's a
powerful thing to see.
00:09:38.71\00:09:40.38
All of God's people, no
matter what the denomination,
00:09:40.41\00:09:43.14
can still share that love and
still, come together like that.
00:09:43.18\00:09:46.61
Powerful. Amen.
00:09:46.65\00:09:48.12
Alright, so give us an update.
00:09:48.32\00:09:50.35
My mind is going back to
February or March of 2020.
00:09:50.39\00:09:56.73
Because I was, along
with several other of the 3ABN
00:09:56.76\00:10:01.36
personalities here, we
were informed that we're all
00:10:01.40\00:10:03.87
going to Trinidad and
Tobago for a week or so.
00:10:03.90\00:10:06.77
And I was excited to go
and was looking forward to it.
00:10:07.07\00:10:10.14
We had already
bought our plane tickets.
00:10:10.17\00:10:11.67
And at the last minute, I
was one among all of the other
00:10:11.71\00:10:16.48
personalities that
didn't get to come.
00:10:16.51\00:10:18.35
And I so wanted to come and
visit your wonderful country.
00:10:18.38\00:10:20.85
But 3ABN, you
mentioned that Danny was there
00:10:20.88\00:10:24.09
over, I think,
17 or 18 years ago.
00:10:24.12\00:10:26.19
But then they returned to
Trinidad and Tobago in 2020.
00:10:26.42\00:10:30.76
So tell us about that.
00:10:30.79\00:10:32.16
It was divine
providence all together.
00:10:32.19\00:10:34.70
But it started in 2019.
00:10:34.73\00:10:37.57
We were at ASI and we
spoke to Jill and Greg,
00:10:38.53\00:10:44.37
and they said,
"We're coming to Trinidad."
00:10:44.41\00:10:46.44
And everything happened in
such a divine providence way.
00:10:46.64\00:10:52.05
And it was just
absolutely amazing.
00:10:52.08\00:10:54.75
We have photos to
show just to capture it.
00:10:54.78\00:10:57.89
But it was just
a tremendous time.
00:10:57.92\00:10:59.95
~ Amen, let's pull those
photos up right now to see them.
00:11:00.62\00:11:03.02
Right, this is at the airport
when the 3ABN family came
00:11:03.29\00:11:06.16
in March of 2020.
00:11:06.19\00:11:07.93
And this is one of the churches.
00:11:08.90\00:11:10.73
Now because of the
timeline, which is about a week
00:11:10.77\00:11:15.40
that the 3ABN family
was there, we could only
00:11:15.44\00:11:18.17
have visited three
churches during Sabbath time.
00:11:18.21\00:11:21.61
So initially we
selected that church shown in
00:11:21.64\00:11:26.35
Couva
Seventh-day Adventist Church.
00:11:26.38\00:11:28.32
It was full to the max.
00:11:30.62\00:11:32.22
They had a tent outside and
they had television outside.
00:11:32.42\00:11:35.49
And all of the other
three churches that we went to,
00:11:36.39\00:11:39.03
they were full to capacity.
00:11:39.06\00:11:40.76
Up until today, it has never
been full that amount of people.
00:11:40.80\00:11:45.37
We just sent out messages
on social media platforms:
00:11:45.47\00:11:49.37
WhatsApp, TikTok,
Instagram, LinkedIn.
00:11:50.07\00:11:56.24
All social media
platforms, and even more.
00:11:56.28\00:11:58.75
And people were
just sharing with others,
00:11:59.05\00:12:01.25
and people were just so
happy and thrilled just to meet
00:12:01.28\00:12:04.09
the 3ABN family in person.
00:12:04.12\00:12:05.45
And when the 3ABN
family came there,
00:12:05.49\00:12:07.89
they went and they
shook people's hands,
00:12:08.09\00:12:10.16
met them in the pews,
and they were just so happy.
00:12:10.56\00:12:14.20
And we had one event where
the mayor from Port of Spain,
00:12:14.46\00:12:19.93
he came into Stanmore
Seventh-day Adventist Church
00:12:19.97\00:12:23.61
and he was wondering
whether this is a church or not.
00:12:23.81\00:12:27.98
Because when he walked in, the
entire church was just laughing.
00:12:28.01\00:12:31.31
So, I mean, Jill and Greg
and Jason had the whole church
00:12:31.61\00:12:36.25
just in laughter in
sharing their experiences
00:12:36.28\00:12:38.95
and how they got there.
00:12:39.22\00:12:41.42
And the entire event
was just divine appointment.
00:12:41.46\00:12:45.29
It was, it was.
00:12:45.49\00:12:46.83
Up until the day, the 3ABN
family came into the island
00:12:46.86\00:12:51.00
and left just a few days before
the island shut down from Covid.
00:12:51.03\00:12:55.00
And people were just so amazed.
00:12:55.20\00:12:57.24
And they were so happy just
to see the whole 3ABN family,
00:12:57.27\00:13:02.14
and just to connect with them,
have a conversation with them.
00:13:02.18\00:13:05.15
And that was
just all they wanted.
00:13:05.35\00:13:07.52
And it was just tremendous joy.
00:13:07.78\00:13:09.52
We can't wait for
them to come back,
00:13:09.55\00:13:11.45
including
yourself and your wife,
00:13:11.49\00:13:13.36
everyone to just come
back and spend some time.
00:13:13.56\00:13:15.82
And you will see the love
and you will enjoy the food.
00:13:16.12\00:13:18.79
You will enjoy the doubles.
00:13:18.83\00:13:20.16
You will enjoy everything
that we have to offer there.
00:13:20.20\00:13:22.86
~ Praise the Lord,
brother. Praise the Lord.
00:13:22.90\00:13:24.40
I know I can feel the love
even though I wasn't there.
00:13:24.43\00:13:27.90
Because in the
weeks after that event,
00:13:27.94\00:13:31.91
the emails and the messages
that I got through social media
00:13:31.94\00:13:35.21
from people there who
were saying, you know,
00:13:35.24\00:13:36.95
"Pastor Ryan, so
sorry you couldn't come.
00:13:36.98\00:13:38.58
We were looking forward to
seeing you and meeting you."
00:13:38.61\00:13:40.82
And so, I just want to give
a shout out to my good friends
00:13:40.85\00:13:43.55
in Trinidad and Tobago,
thank you, guys, so much
00:13:43.59\00:13:45.62
for your support and
your love of 3ABN ministry.
00:13:45.72\00:13:49.09
And evidently, it's
clear that 3ABN ministry
00:13:49.12\00:13:51.29
has blessed a lot of
people there tremendously.
00:13:51.49\00:13:53.60
And it's great to know that even
in a country that, you know,
00:13:53.63\00:13:57.93
I want to say this respectfully,
it's a small country, right?
00:13:58.83\00:14:01.04
A lot of people don't think
of Trinidad and Tobago, but yet
00:14:01.07\00:14:03.41
the influence of 3ABN
is reaching as far across
00:14:03.44\00:14:07.04
the sea all the way
to Trinidad and Tobago,
00:14:07.24\00:14:09.54
and lives are being changed
because of the gospel message
00:14:09.58\00:14:12.65
here on the network.
00:14:13.05\00:14:14.38
So it's a blessing.
00:14:14.42\00:14:15.75
Because of the 3ABN
family visit, one guy recently
00:14:15.78\00:14:18.02
came up to us and he said
he gave back his live to God.
00:14:18.05\00:14:20.49
He went out of the
church and he came back.
00:14:20.52\00:14:23.56
And it was just a very
months ago he came up to me
00:14:23.59\00:14:25.69
and told that to me.
00:14:25.73\00:14:27.06
We have a lot of photos
and experiences to share.
00:14:27.30\00:14:30.03
But again we want to share much,
but in this short space of time
00:14:30.60\00:14:35.77
there are so many
projects and events,
00:14:36.14\00:14:38.81
and what we're
doing in the community.
00:14:39.67\00:14:43.04
It's just a picture of it.
00:14:43.08\00:14:44.58
So could you talk
about that for a moment?
00:14:44.61\00:14:45.95
Because I know when
people think of 3ABN,
00:14:45.98\00:14:48.88
obviously Three
Angels Broadcasting Network,
00:14:48.92\00:14:51.39
we're a broadcasting network.
00:14:51.42\00:14:52.75
We are mostly known
as a media ministry,
00:14:52.79\00:14:55.89
so we create
content in a studio.
00:14:55.92\00:14:57.66
It goes out all around
the world for people to
00:14:57.76\00:15:00.23
hear the gospel through media:
00:15:00.33\00:15:02.00
through
television, through internet.
00:15:02.03\00:15:03.40
But you guys, God is using
you guys in Trinidad and Tobago
00:15:03.50\00:15:06.63
not necessarily to
create content for TV,
00:15:06.67\00:15:09.30
but He's using you guys
in a different capacity,
00:15:09.34\00:15:11.44
which I found to
be pretty powerful.
00:15:11.47\00:15:13.64
So talk a little bit
about the mission that God has
00:15:13.68\00:15:16.98
placed upon your heart as
a volunteer to reach out to
00:15:17.01\00:15:20.78
these people in the community
of Trinidad and Tobago.
00:15:20.82\00:15:22.88
We take the
content that 3ABN produces
00:15:22.92\00:15:24.99
and we share it with people.
00:15:25.02\00:15:28.69
For example, we
have over 200,000 people
00:15:28.72\00:15:31.53
with diabetes in the island.
00:15:31.56\00:15:32.89
We share the health message.
00:15:32.93\00:15:34.76
We have people who have
mental issues, mental health.
00:15:35.06\00:15:38.23
There is depression.
00:15:38.27\00:15:39.60
There is a lot of
violence in schools because of
00:15:40.44\00:15:43.41
coming back from
out of the Covid.
00:15:43.61\00:15:46.34
And other things as well.
00:15:46.37\00:15:48.31
So we share on
people's well-being.
00:15:48.34\00:15:54.02
How to add value to
their life in any possible way,
00:15:54.05\00:15:56.92
down to the
exercise program, counsels.
00:15:56.95\00:16:00.49
Every aspect of 3ABN we
connect with the community.
00:16:00.69\00:16:04.16
Kids network, even
3ABN Latino, right?
00:16:04.19\00:16:07.50
We have people from Venezuela,
over 20,000 who fled from
00:16:07.53\00:16:11.73
Venezuela to come
to Trinidad for safety.
00:16:11.77\00:16:15.14
And then we have people from
Cuba coming also to Trinidad.
00:16:15.17\00:16:18.07
We share 3ABN Latino with them
00:16:18.27\00:16:20.14
in so many ways
and let them know.
00:16:20.74\00:16:22.74
And that's just some
of what we do to impact
00:16:23.24\00:16:25.81
in our small beautiful island.
00:16:25.85\00:16:28.62
~ Absolutely.
00:16:28.82\00:16:30.15
And so you're sharing
3ABN content with people.
00:16:30.19\00:16:32.82
But then, of course, you
were talking with me earlier
00:16:32.92\00:16:35.92
about this missionary
aspect in the sense that
00:16:35.96\00:16:38.49
it's not like you're
just handing our DVD's
00:16:38.53\00:16:40.33
or handing out
content, you know.
00:16:40.36\00:16:42.13
God is using you guys as
actually boots on the ground,
00:16:42.16\00:16:45.23
get out there and
meet people's needs
00:16:45.33\00:16:47.90
and ministering to
them in a very loving way,
00:16:48.10\00:16:50.94
as the gospel commands us.
00:16:50.97\00:16:53.61
Talk to us
about what happened...
00:16:54.11\00:16:55.98
I mean, because just a few
days after the 3ABN family left,
00:16:56.01\00:17:00.18
the country was
shut down, right?
00:17:01.78\00:17:03.39
~ Yes. ~And then Covid comes.
00:17:03.42\00:17:05.99
But you guys didn't stop, right?
00:17:06.02\00:17:07.36
So you kept pressing forward.
00:17:07.39\00:17:08.72
Talk to us about
some of the projects
00:17:08.76\00:17:10.36
that God has used
you to do since then.
00:17:10.39\00:17:12.99
It was such an
amazing year for us in 2020.
00:17:13.29\00:17:16.23
There's so much
to share about that.
00:17:17.70\00:17:19.37
But in essence
we received 100,000
00:17:19.40\00:17:22.80
"Ten Commandments
Twice Removed" books
00:17:22.84\00:17:24.61
that was donated by 3ABN
to the beautiful island of
00:17:24.64\00:17:26.84
Trinidad and Tobago.
00:17:26.88\00:17:28.21
And we had volunteers
come, even though we had
00:17:28.24\00:17:31.35
the island shut
down, came and packaged it,
00:17:31.38\00:17:34.32
and we went out in the
community across the island
00:17:34.35\00:17:36.65
and met people where
possible door-to-door.
00:17:37.19\00:17:39.85
Prayed with
them, gave them a book.
00:17:39.89\00:17:41.96
And we just go right around
the island, every aspect of it,
00:17:42.06\00:17:46.29
and people were
well receptive of it.
00:17:46.33\00:17:48.43
And a lot of them
did not know about 3ABN.
00:17:48.46\00:17:51.03
They don't know about the book,
Ten Commandments Twice Removed,
00:17:51.33\00:17:54.30
about God's love in His law.
00:17:54.34\00:17:56.74
And it was just so dynamic.
00:17:56.77\00:17:59.17
We had an estimated 2000
volunteers in that given year.
00:17:59.21\00:18:04.91
Right, and there was
Covid shutdown as well.
00:18:05.38\00:18:07.58
We also went during curfew.
00:18:07.62\00:18:09.92
Always curfew
started from 9:00 pm.
00:18:10.72\00:18:13.05
We were out there in the
community at nights as well
00:18:13.56\00:18:16.93
reaching out to people.
00:18:17.53\00:18:18.86
People would call us
and say, "We have no food.
00:18:18.89\00:18:21.70
We have children."
00:18:21.73\00:18:23.06
So we got donations
from many organizations
00:18:23.10\00:18:27.37
and we went and
delivered hampers to people
00:18:27.57\00:18:32.37
in all parts of the island.
00:18:32.41\00:18:35.11
Plus we had, one of our
highlights was that during Covid
00:18:36.04\00:18:43.02
we went out and
were distributing,
00:18:43.05\00:18:45.65
Ten Commandments
Twice Removed, books.
00:18:45.69\00:18:47.26
That was a daylight curfew.
00:18:47.29\00:18:48.82
And the police saw us.
It was an unmarked vehicle.
00:18:49.39\00:18:53.80
And they stopped us; four
men heavily armed with guns.
00:18:54.10\00:18:58.33
They surrounded the
vehicle and asked us,
00:18:58.37\00:19:00.54
"What are you doing here?"
00:19:00.57\00:19:01.90
So we presented our
documents, we had permission
00:19:01.94\00:19:04.77
by the commissioner of
police to be in the community
00:19:05.07\00:19:08.14
and to be out in curfew hours.
00:19:08.54\00:19:10.08
And it was about
five of us there.
00:19:10.11\00:19:12.75
And we told them
what we were doing,
00:19:13.05\00:19:15.02
who we are, and such and such.
00:19:15.05\00:19:16.52
And they said okay, they
took pictures of the documents
00:19:16.72\00:19:20.06
and such, and before he left, I
said, "Thank you for your time.
00:19:20.09\00:19:25.29
And this is a gift from us."
00:19:25.33\00:19:27.83
And we gave him
the, Ten Commandments
00:19:27.86\00:19:29.20
Twice Removed, book.
00:19:29.23\00:19:30.57
That man just paused,
looked back, and said,
00:19:30.60\00:19:32.53
"This is what you're
doing in the community?"
00:19:32.93\00:19:35.04
I said, "Yes."
00:19:35.07\00:19:36.40
"By all means, no
police will stop you,
00:19:36.47\00:19:38.81
because of what you are doing.
00:19:38.84\00:19:40.24
You have official
pass from the government,
00:19:40.28\00:19:42.88
and this book, Ten
Commandments Twice Removed,
00:19:43.68\00:19:46.28
my sister is a
Seventh-day Adventist."
00:19:46.58\00:19:48.98
And he shared with
all the police officers.
00:19:49.38\00:19:53.09
And we had quite a few
experiences where police
00:19:53.19\00:19:55.99
stopped us on the
road, and we gave them a
00:19:56.02\00:19:57.53
book, saying, "Thank you."
00:19:57.56\00:19:58.93
We had one police officer
just pull up, "3ABN? 3ABN?"
00:19:58.96\00:20:02.96
I said, "Yes, we're here."
00:20:03.00\00:20:04.53
And he said, "3ABN?" I
said, "Yes, we're here."
00:20:04.57\00:20:06.84
And he said he didn't know.
00:20:07.04\00:20:08.67
"I will tell my mom."
00:20:08.70\00:20:10.04
Right, and he was so
excited. Really excited.
00:20:10.07\00:20:13.61
If he could have run over
to the car and give me a hug,
00:20:13.71\00:20:15.44
he would have done that.
00:20:15.48\00:20:16.81
But it was just a joy when
we meet people in the community,
00:20:16.85\00:20:22.58
police officers,
anyone in the community that
00:20:23.32\00:20:26.45
just love 3ABN.
00:20:26.49\00:20:28.12
~ Praise the
Lord. Praise the Lord.
00:20:28.16\00:20:29.89
And I know that you guys
have seen obvious results
00:20:29.99\00:20:33.19
from what you're doing.
00:20:33.26\00:20:34.60
I mean, even some baptisms.
00:20:34.63\00:20:36.00
I think we even have some
pictures of some baptisms.
00:20:36.10\00:20:38.90
And I think we might
even have some pictures
00:20:38.93\00:20:40.54
of the "Ten
Commandments" project
00:20:40.57\00:20:43.41
that you guys were doing.
00:20:43.44\00:20:44.77
So let's pull up the
first baptismal picture.
00:20:44.91\00:20:47.38
And just walk us through who
this is and the story behind it.
00:20:47.48\00:20:50.35
This is in the picture, the
person in the white is Michelle.
00:20:50.38\00:20:53.58
She is watching 3ABN
just about a year and a half.
00:20:53.62\00:20:57.02
And her husband had passed away.
00:20:57.05\00:20:59.89
And this is how she
got connected to 3ABN
00:20:59.92\00:21:03.32
just flipping
through the channels.
00:21:03.36\00:21:05.19
And she lives in
Westmoorings aspect
00:21:05.39\00:21:07.83
in the west of the island.
00:21:07.86\00:21:09.33
And it was just so amazing.
00:21:09.36\00:21:10.73
She just walked in the Woodbrook
Seventh-day Adventist Church
00:21:10.77\00:21:14.04
and said she would
like to get baptized.
00:21:14.07\00:21:15.87
And the picture there
is Pastor Eshan Arjoon
00:21:15.90\00:21:19.37
and Pastor Gabriel as well.
00:21:19.41\00:21:22.28
They gave her Bible
studies and preparation,
00:21:22.38\00:21:24.95
and she got baptized.
00:21:24.98\00:21:26.31
From the moment she's baptized,
and she was watching 3ABN
00:21:26.35\00:21:29.82
and involved with
what we are doing,
00:21:30.02\00:21:31.99
we asked her to come
on the ground with us
00:21:32.19\00:21:34.26
when we go into
all the communities.
00:21:34.29\00:21:35.62
And she is just so amazing.
00:21:35.66\00:21:36.99
She just prays with
people and she has a connection
00:21:37.03\00:21:39.56
with young people; talking to
them, getting them all excited,
00:21:39.59\00:21:43.97
getting them to know
about the love of God.
00:21:44.30\00:21:46.94
And in our island, in
3ABN Trinidad and Tobago,
00:21:47.04\00:21:51.04
we use our mission slogan,
00:21:51.07\00:21:52.61
"We are
mission-focused, mission-driven.
00:21:53.27\00:21:55.94
More mission and less talk."
00:21:55.98\00:21:58.01
We go on the ground; grassroots.
00:21:58.05\00:22:01.02
We meet people where they
are and connect with them.
00:22:01.28\00:22:04.95
Sharing the love of God with
people in such a dynamic way
00:22:04.99\00:22:08.52
that people don't expect to
see you as a television station
00:22:08.56\00:22:12.39
reaching out to people.
00:22:12.43\00:22:13.76
Not just tell them, "Here is
information about who we are."
00:22:13.80\00:22:17.20
We connect with them.
00:22:17.23\00:22:18.57
If they're going
through depression,
00:22:18.63\00:22:19.97
if they're going
through stress management,
00:22:20.00\00:22:21.40
we say, "Hey, look on our
app. Just type in 'stress.'
00:22:21.44\00:22:24.41
We have these
presentations at no charge.
00:22:24.61\00:22:27.18
And you just watch
these presentations.
00:22:27.21\00:22:29.14
And we can add
value to your life."
00:22:29.34\00:22:31.21
And we try to let them
know, every aspect of their
00:22:31.51\00:22:35.18
family life, we can add
much more value to it as well.
00:22:35.22\00:22:39.29
~ Praise the Lord.
00:22:39.72\00:22:41.06
That's really
what it's all about.
00:22:41.09\00:22:42.42
Yes, you want to
see those baptisms,
00:22:42.46\00:22:44.86
you want to see those people
give their heart to Christ
00:22:44.89\00:22:47.36
and be brought to
that watery tank in which
00:22:47.40\00:22:49.70
they're giving
their life to Jesus
00:22:49.73\00:22:51.07
and burying the old man behind.
00:22:51.10\00:22:52.73
But then, you know, you
don't just want them to just
00:22:52.77\00:22:54.77
go on from there and do nothing.
00:22:54.80\00:22:56.40
We want to graft them
into the mission of our church
00:22:56.44\00:22:58.91
and be able to carry on the same
work that we're doing as well.
00:22:58.94\00:23:02.41
And so, praise
the Lord for that.
00:23:02.44\00:23:03.85
I think we have another picture
of someone who was baptized.
00:23:03.88\00:23:06.78
And who is this
we're looking at?
00:23:07.08\00:23:08.42
Dr. Stacy and Richard.
00:23:08.55\00:23:10.25
Richard got baptized in
2021 from watching 3ABN,
00:23:10.29\00:23:14.59
and also Amazing Facts as well.
00:23:15.19\00:23:17.23
And he has just been on the
road with us, on the ground.
00:23:17.26\00:23:21.63
He's really hands-on.
00:23:21.66\00:23:23.00
His wife has volunteered
her time in the capacity of
00:23:23.03\00:23:25.77
medical doctor.
00:23:26.33\00:23:27.67
And she has been with us
in health fairs all over.
00:23:27.70\00:23:31.64
And her mother as well.
00:23:32.21\00:23:33.61
So wherever we go,
I ask them to come.
00:23:33.64\00:23:35.88
His wife comes most of the time.
00:23:35.91\00:23:37.65
And when he comes, he
gives his testimony to people.
00:23:37.68\00:23:40.25
He encourages
young people to come out
00:23:40.28\00:23:43.18
and share the love of God.
00:23:43.22\00:23:44.72
And if you're not in love with
God, he'll share his life story.
00:23:44.92\00:23:48.82
And everybody has a life story.
00:23:49.02\00:23:51.26
And once you give your testimony
of how God has been such
00:23:51.69\00:23:55.50
amazing in your life when
you think He wasn't there,
00:23:55.53\00:23:58.10
these testimonies
are just incredible.
00:23:58.87\00:24:01.60
~ Praise the Lord.
Thank you for that.
00:24:02.94\00:24:04.34
Praise God for
Richard and Dr. Stacy.
00:24:04.37\00:24:06.74
And we also have a third
picture here we want to show
00:24:06.78\00:24:09.21
of that baptism.
00:24:09.24\00:24:10.58
What's happening here?
00:24:10.61\00:24:11.95
This is an evangelistic series.
00:24:11.98\00:24:14.02
An evangelistic series
that we had in late November.
00:24:14.05\00:24:17.75
We went in the community
and met people on the ground
00:24:18.39\00:24:21.52
letting them know about
the event and know about 3ABN.
00:24:21.72\00:24:24.29
And we told them that
here's what is happening
00:24:24.49\00:24:27.96
in your community right there.
00:24:28.00\00:24:29.33
We will assist you
if you need to come.
00:24:29.36\00:24:33.07
Come meet us there.
00:24:33.10\00:24:34.44
This is hosted by the St. Helena
Seventh-day Adventist Church.
00:24:34.64\00:24:38.21
So we partnered with the
church went on the ground,
00:24:38.44\00:24:41.91
met people door to door,
and we just let them know
00:24:41.94\00:24:46.21
that we are here for them.
00:24:46.25\00:24:47.58
And during that time
they had many activities
00:24:47.62\00:24:50.45
in the community, and
people still came to the event.
00:24:50.49\00:24:53.66
And it was such an
amazing experience.
00:24:53.69\00:24:57.89
At the end of it, 63 people
gave their souls to Christ.
00:24:58.19\00:25:01.06
Some of them, we
met them door to door
00:25:01.76\00:25:04.57
and spoke to them about 3ABN.
00:25:04.80\00:25:06.94
Some of them even
got married there.
00:25:06.97\00:25:08.60
So we said, here's what.
00:25:08.64\00:25:09.97
On 3ABN app, on our station, we
have good material for marriage,
00:25:10.01\00:25:14.98
to help you build your marriage.
00:25:15.08\00:25:16.54
And the guy, I spoke
with a gentleman and he was
00:25:16.58\00:25:18.81
just so amazed to know
that this is in his island.
00:25:18.85\00:25:22.75
And he was from a former
faith, and he and his wife
00:25:22.78\00:25:25.19
got baptized as well.
00:25:25.22\00:25:26.76
And there's so many stories.
00:25:27.69\00:25:29.16
- So many stories to
share. ~ Praise the Lord.
00:25:29.82\00:25:31.43
~ I mean, that's the
gospel. That's the real deal.
00:25:31.46\00:25:34.20
To see the gospel
actually manifesting itself in
00:25:34.23\00:25:37.77
people's life and to
see people's lives changed.
00:25:37.80\00:25:40.07
That's what we do.
That's what we're here for.
00:25:40.10\00:25:42.17
Praise the Lord.
00:25:42.20\00:25:43.54
Now I think we also had some
pictures to go along with the
00:25:43.57\00:25:46.51
project that you did,
00:25:46.54\00:25:47.88
the 100,000 "Ten
Commandments Twice Removed."
00:25:47.91\00:25:51.68
So would you like
to look at those now?
00:25:51.71\00:25:53.28
~ Yes, certainly.
00:25:53.31\00:25:54.65
Walk us through
what we're seeing here.
00:25:54.68\00:25:56.12
Right, this is Sabita.
00:25:56.15\00:25:57.95
She's one of our
team leaders in Tabaquite.
00:25:57.99\00:26:00.42
Sabita, her husband and
the children, and the entire
00:26:01.22\00:26:03.93
church of Brother's
Road, hello to them.
00:26:04.23\00:26:07.00
They have been a
tremendous support to 3ABN.
00:26:07.20\00:26:09.76
They go out into the
community and meet others.
00:26:09.80\00:26:11.53
This is a picture from Toco
where the volunteers went from
00:26:11.57\00:26:15.77
Matelot to Sangre
Grande in one day.
00:26:15.80\00:26:20.41
So we had book distribution,
we had hamper distribution.
00:26:21.11\00:26:24.01
In this picture is
Navan, Lindi, and their boys.
00:26:24.31\00:26:27.48
They are a
powerhouse for the Lord.
00:26:28.58\00:26:30.29
They're amazing.
00:26:30.32\00:26:31.65
He and his family went to
Matelot, which is the peak
00:26:31.69\00:26:34.76
of the island,
and they came down.
00:26:34.79\00:26:36.79
This is another photo from the
same book drive in Rio Claro.
00:26:36.83\00:26:40.66
When we went to Rio
Claro, Michelle was with us.
00:26:41.23\00:26:43.47
And it was just a
tremendous blessing
00:26:43.50\00:26:46.74
to connect with the
people in the community.
00:26:46.77\00:26:48.87
And a whole lot more we did.
00:26:48.90\00:26:50.47
~ That's amazing.
00:26:50.51\00:26:52.01
~ Three vehicles, people packed.
00:26:52.67\00:26:54.61
~ You guys are all
throughout the city.
00:26:54.88\00:26:57.91
~ What's this here?
00:26:57.95\00:26:59.28
During the Covid time we
got many requests from people
00:26:59.31\00:27:02.05
asking for hampers
because they were unemployed.
00:27:02.65\00:27:04.82
They were not in a
position financially.
00:27:05.39\00:27:08.02
So we received donations
from many organizations
00:27:08.22\00:27:11.33
to purchase grocery items.
00:27:12.23\00:27:16.83
A lot of them
donated grocery items to us.
00:27:16.87\00:27:19.57
And a team of us, we came
together, packaged the items,
00:27:19.60\00:27:22.97
and went in,
this is in Manzanilla.
00:27:23.00\00:27:26.57
Three pickups.
00:27:26.61\00:27:27.98
The road is so terrible
that he had to use pickups.
00:27:28.01\00:27:32.45
And we just went from one end
of Manzanilla to the other end.
00:27:32.48\00:27:38.22
Because we got a list,
and we could only complete
00:27:38.89\00:27:41.82
so much based on the
donations that we received
00:27:41.86\00:27:43.93
of the grocery items as well.
00:27:43.96\00:27:45.76
~ Wow, that's amazing.
00:27:45.79\00:27:47.13
So, when you're out there
and you're handing out these
00:27:47.16\00:27:49.73
"Ten Commandments
Twice Removed" books,
00:27:49.76\00:27:52.00
what are the people's responses?
00:27:52.53\00:27:54.20
I mean, I've always been
interested in that because
00:27:54.24\00:27:56.07
here in America, you know,
you might get a mixed response.
00:27:56.10\00:27:59.07
Were people
positively responsive to this?
00:27:59.11\00:28:02.14
Or did you have, you know,
some people that were like,
00:28:02.18\00:28:04.65
"Get off my property.
I don't want your book."
00:28:04.68\00:28:06.41
What were your responses there?
00:28:06.45\00:28:08.08
Overall, the majority
of responses are really
00:28:08.12\00:28:10.09
receptive and positive.
00:28:10.12\00:28:11.49
People are happy to know
that we are in the community.
00:28:11.52\00:28:14.92
We have youths,
children giving out these books.
00:28:15.22\00:28:18.09
And when you have young
people giving out these books,
00:28:18.13\00:28:20.03
to mature
people as well, adults,
00:28:20.06\00:28:22.46
they tend to be
more receptive as well.
00:28:22.96\00:28:25.20
And in the community,
when we reach out to people,
00:28:25.23\00:28:27.50
some people, a few, not too
many, they say many things about
00:28:27.54\00:28:33.78
God's ten commandments.
00:28:33.81\00:28:35.81
And we tell them that God's
ten commandments still exist.
00:28:35.84\00:28:38.68
If you read the
book and contact us,
00:28:38.98\00:28:41.12
we can reach out to you, we
can do Bible studies with you.
00:28:41.15\00:28:43.99
We can tell you more.
00:28:44.19\00:28:45.52
We also have our
flyer inside of the book
00:28:45.55\00:28:47.69
where you can watch 3ABN
to know about the love of God
00:28:47.72\00:28:50.56
and what the love of God
entails entirely in His law,
00:28:50.59\00:28:54.66
the ten commandments,
and a whole lot more.
00:28:54.70\00:28:56.80
~ Praise the
Lord. Praise the Lord.
00:28:56.83\00:28:58.43
So I don't know,
I'm looking at this.
00:28:58.63\00:29:00.87
You guys have done so much.
00:29:00.90\00:29:03.10
And it's incredible to see
what God is doing to use you,
00:29:03.14\00:29:06.47
Rodney, and the volunteers there
00:29:06.51\00:29:08.34
in Trinidad and Tobago
to reach the people there.
00:29:08.64\00:29:11.35
And you know, I
don't know if you want to
00:29:11.55\00:29:14.35
go to the flood first, you
want to go to the health fair
00:29:14.38\00:29:17.19
that you guys have been doing.
00:29:17.22\00:29:18.55
Which one do you want
to take on at this point?
00:29:18.59\00:29:19.92
Let's do the flood.
00:29:19.95\00:29:21.29
Okay, yeah, so let's
talk about this flood.
00:29:21.32\00:29:22.99
One of the other pictures
that we saw just a moment ago
00:29:23.02\00:29:26.16
showed those three vehicles.
00:29:26.19\00:29:28.20
And you had mentioned that
it was because of the bad roads.
00:29:28.23\00:29:30.93
You had to have some pickups.
00:29:31.03\00:29:32.73
And I know recently
you guys had some flooding
00:29:32.77\00:29:36.04
in Trinidad and Tobago that
required a much larger truck.
00:29:36.07\00:29:39.34
Tell us a little bit
about that and what happened,
00:29:39.37\00:29:41.28
and how God used you guys
to minister to the community.
00:29:41.31\00:29:43.95
Yes, in our island in
late 2022 there was a series of
00:29:44.15\00:29:49.05
massive flooding.
00:29:49.08\00:29:50.42
And a lot of people were
displaced in so many ways.
00:29:50.45\00:29:53.52
Sometimes three to
five feet of water covered.
00:29:54.12\00:29:57.33
A lot of people lost almost
everything in their house.
00:29:57.36\00:29:59.89
And when we say, "everything,"
and you go and see the house,
00:29:59.93\00:30:03.70
it's a shell.
00:30:03.73\00:30:05.07
And people from all over
the island, someone people
00:30:05.10\00:30:07.30
reached out to us and said
that, "We would like to get help
00:30:07.34\00:30:10.44
in some way."
00:30:10.47\00:30:11.81
So we reached out to
the authorities in the area
00:30:11.84\00:30:15.34
and let them know there's
this family that needs help
00:30:15.44\00:30:20.12
in relief supplies or rescuing.
00:30:20.15\00:30:22.05
From day one, Dean, he has the
most, he has the largest F250.
00:30:23.75\00:30:31.99
~ Yes he does.
00:30:32.03\00:30:33.36
Let's show that
picture. Pull his picture up.
00:30:33.40\00:30:35.16
Look how big this truck is.
00:30:35.20\00:30:36.67
That's a big truck, man.
00:30:37.17\00:30:38.63
That's a mini monster
truck is what that is.
00:30:38.67\00:30:40.90
That's Dean in the back there.
00:30:40.94\00:30:42.64
And that is his monster truck.
00:30:42.67\00:30:44.64
It's the largest
F250 in the Caribbean.
00:30:44.67\00:30:48.54
He modified his vehicle.
00:30:48.58\00:30:50.25
That's one of his businesses.
00:30:50.35\00:30:51.75
He also has a
garage for repairs.
00:30:51.78\00:30:54.78
He uses his business truly to
share the message of salvation
00:30:55.92\00:31:02.96
and share the love of God.
00:31:03.16\00:31:04.63
He was saved by 3ABN.
00:31:05.19\00:31:07.06
And he has also a
house that he invested
00:31:07.10\00:31:11.00
near the mountain
top called Mount Zion.
00:31:11.03\00:31:13.57
That's his street name.
00:31:13.60\00:31:14.94
And it's a spectacular view.
00:31:14.97\00:31:16.71
He takes people up there
and gives them his personal
00:31:16.74\00:31:18.97
testimony, and does
Bible study with them.
00:31:19.01\00:31:21.64
When he meets them in the shop,
he says, "Come up to my house."
00:31:21.68\00:31:24.41
And they come, and after
they just take that view in,
00:31:24.71\00:31:29.85
it's just breathtaking.
00:31:29.88\00:31:31.22
And he does an amazing ministry
and keeps letting people know
00:31:31.25\00:31:34.96
to watch 3ABN and
see how God's love,
00:31:34.99\00:31:38.59
God has changed
him from where he was
00:31:38.63\00:31:41.16
to where he is now, and
where he can go forward.
00:31:41.20\00:31:43.83
It's so amazing when you
see someone has met Jesus
00:31:44.20\00:31:50.04
and fallen in love with Jesus.
00:31:50.07\00:31:51.54
And when they do that,
and they use their business,
00:31:51.57\00:31:55.14
their resources to
continue that mission,
00:31:55.34\00:31:58.41
it is just such
a tremendous joy.
00:31:58.61\00:32:01.92
What he does, he
has been out there
00:32:02.22\00:32:04.85
in the flood for
three days with his crew.
00:32:04.89\00:32:08.99
Three vehicles day
after day, and in the night,
00:32:09.22\00:32:12.29
finishing late at night.
00:32:12.33\00:32:13.66
During that flood we
were there, we were, like,
00:32:13.70\00:32:16.23
rapping up
around 7:00 pm at night.
00:32:16.26\00:32:17.97
Someone just came and
donated 200 meals, hot meals.
00:32:18.87\00:32:22.54
And we didn't turn it down.
00:32:23.10\00:32:26.94
So we just went into
the communities nearby and
00:32:26.98\00:32:29.74
we gave out in one area, we
thought the cars were parked
00:32:29.78\00:32:33.75
for the apartment, it was
actually women and children
00:32:34.25\00:32:38.25
sleeping in the vehicles
because they cannot pass.
00:32:38.29\00:32:41.09
And that broke us.
00:32:41.12\00:32:42.46
We just gave them hot food,
we had drinks, we had water.
00:32:42.49\00:32:46.29
And those who were asleep,
we put water on their vehicles
00:32:46.53\00:32:50.80
so when they wake up they can at
least have some water to drink.
00:32:50.83\00:32:53.70
This was not just for a night,
it was for a few nights, people
00:32:53.74\00:32:57.51
were just completely displaced.
00:32:57.54\00:32:59.87
And people get to
know about who 3ABN is,
00:32:59.91\00:33:03.95
where we can connect.
00:33:04.15\00:33:05.48
In one area where we went,
this guy had two daughters,
00:33:05.51\00:33:08.15
his said, "Here's what,
I cannot sleep at night."
00:33:08.18\00:33:11.72
Because when the rain falls,
it just makes him very anxious.
00:33:11.75\00:33:18.19
And he just doesn't
want to go to sleep because
00:33:18.23\00:33:23.00
of what might repeat.
00:33:23.03\00:33:24.37
And it was that same
way for so many people.
00:33:24.53\00:33:26.94
We had quite a few of
our team members as well
00:33:27.60\00:33:30.21
who lost almost everything,
except the music system.
00:33:30.24\00:33:34.18
So it was just really
trauma for a lot of people.
00:33:34.21\00:33:38.61
It was an amazing opportunity
to share the love of God,
00:33:38.81\00:33:42.58
that God still cares about you.
00:33:42.62\00:33:44.19
And we provided hot meals
in capacity with other NGO's
00:33:44.22\00:33:49.46
that we work with.
00:33:49.49\00:33:50.83
We helped provide 200 to
400 assistance in transportation
00:33:51.33\00:33:56.93
from point A to point B.
00:33:57.13\00:33:59.13
And whatever it took.
00:33:59.17\00:34:00.64
We had volunteers with us from
throughout the island helping,
00:34:00.67\00:34:03.97
but we focused
on a central area.
00:34:04.31\00:34:06.41
That was our
earmarked area because
00:34:07.04\00:34:08.81
they got one of
the most affected.
00:34:08.84\00:34:10.45
It was just a
tremendous disaster.
00:34:12.01\00:34:15.62
And it was a joy to
be with people there
00:34:15.65\00:34:18.79
and assist them
during their time of need.
00:34:18.82\00:34:21.09
It was just an incredible time.
00:34:21.76\00:34:23.09
And Dean got an award from
the commissioner in the area
00:34:23.12\00:34:28.83
for being there for people.
00:34:28.86\00:34:30.20
One of his team members
walked through the flood
00:34:30.50\00:34:32.80
in water up to almost his neck.
00:34:32.83\00:34:35.94
And the lady said,
"Thank you for coming.
00:34:36.24\00:34:39.84
Thank you for coming so much.
00:34:39.87\00:34:41.21
But there's a caiman I saw some
time ago just across there."
00:34:42.04\00:34:46.88
So the guy dropped his relief
supplies and just went back
00:34:46.98\00:34:50.79
quickly as possible.
00:34:50.82\00:34:52.15
But what they did in those
three days, him and his team
00:34:52.19\00:34:55.36
in three vehicles, it was just
a tremendous help to the people
00:34:55.39\00:34:59.13
in whatever the capacity.
00:34:59.16\00:35:00.93
No food, no water,
and a whole lot more.
00:35:00.96\00:35:04.67
~ That's amazing,
brother. That's amazing.
00:35:04.87\00:35:06.57
Yea, when people's
lives are being shaken
00:35:06.67\00:35:09.07
that much by, you
know, catastrophes like this,
00:35:09.10\00:35:11.61
or certain events like
this where mother nature just
00:35:11.64\00:35:14.48
seems to wreak havoc on
our homes and on our lives,
00:35:14.51\00:35:18.25
when they're shaken
the most, that's when
00:35:18.45\00:35:20.62
they need to hear the gospel.
00:35:20.65\00:35:21.98
That's when they need to
see it, not just hear about it.
00:35:22.02\00:35:23.72
They need to see it.
00:35:23.75\00:35:25.09
And that's what
you guys are doing.
00:35:25.12\00:35:26.45
There on the
ground, out in there.
00:35:26.49\00:35:28.32
Were you in the truck
when they went out into...
00:35:28.36\00:35:30.99
~ Sometimes. - Sometimes.
00:35:31.03\00:35:32.56
~ What was the deepest
water you guys went through?
00:35:32.76\00:35:34.70
Probably over five feet.
00:35:34.73\00:35:36.26
~ Wow! - Five feet.
00:35:36.30\00:35:37.63
~ That was
probably scary. ~ Yeah.
00:35:37.67\00:35:39.47
~ Kayak, we used a kayak
to carry some of the supplies.
00:35:39.50\00:35:42.00
The amount of people
that came and helped,
00:35:43.97\00:35:45.97
we had people from all
different walks of life.
00:35:46.01\00:35:48.34
All different faiths, from
Christians to Hindu, and Muslim.
00:35:48.38\00:35:51.51
Love was there.
00:35:52.31\00:35:53.85
People from south of the
island to east of the island,
00:35:53.88\00:35:57.09
people just came and just
shared the love and donated.
00:35:57.12\00:36:00.66
And Dean, as he has one of
the largest F250 monster trucks
00:36:00.69\00:36:04.56
in the island, he has followers,
00:36:04.59\00:36:07.53
and the followers
saw what he was doing.
00:36:07.56\00:36:09.86
So from another area
south of the island, they came
00:36:10.07\00:36:13.03
with about seven vehicles
and came with hundreds of
00:36:13.07\00:36:15.67
hot meals late at night and just
went and gave it out as well.
00:36:15.70\00:36:19.57
~ That's amazing.
That's great stuff.
00:36:20.88\00:36:22.88
So you guys are passing
out biblical literature,
00:36:23.65\00:36:28.05
you're sharing 3ABN
programming with people,
00:36:28.08\00:36:30.95
you're obviously, I
mean, you're out there during
00:36:31.39\00:36:33.92
the times of floods
and these natural disasters
00:36:33.96\00:36:37.06
that are happening and
just destroying people's live.
00:36:37.09\00:36:38.86
But you're there to
share the love of Jesus
00:36:38.89\00:36:40.80
with them in these times.
00:36:40.83\00:36:42.16
But you know, there's also,
you know, the health crisis
00:36:42.20\00:36:45.43
throughout the world, and you
guys are also, you have projects
00:36:45.53\00:36:48.90
in which you are conducting
health fairs nationwide.
00:36:48.94\00:36:52.57
Tell us a little bit about
what 3ABN representation of
00:36:52.87\00:36:56.78
Trinidad and Tobago is
doing with these health fairs.
00:36:56.81\00:36:59.35
In Trinidad, we have been
invited to many health events,
00:36:59.38\00:37:04.19
health seminars, health fairs.
00:37:04.22\00:37:06.19
So we go in the
community where we are invited,
00:37:06.89\00:37:09.66
we do an assessment
of the area demographic,
00:37:09.69\00:37:12.53
and we see where 3ABN
programs can assist people.
00:37:12.56\00:37:15.30
If in that area there's
large amounts of diabetes,
00:37:15.66\00:37:18.37
if there's
depression, maybe mental health,
00:37:19.00\00:37:21.80
we share what we offer.
00:37:21.84\00:37:23.74
We talk with them one on one.
00:37:23.77\00:37:25.11
Our doctors are
there, our nurses are there
00:37:25.81\00:37:29.24
to give them any
sort of a guidance,
00:37:29.28\00:37:31.48
and a whole lot more.
00:37:31.58\00:37:33.42
And of course, we
let them know entirely
00:37:33.45\00:37:36.48
what 3ABN can help
them with at no charge.
00:37:36.52\00:37:39.35
So we show them the app,
00:37:40.06\00:37:42.02
we show them that
we're on the cable station.
00:37:42.06\00:37:44.43
If they don't have the cable,
lots of them have the internet
00:37:44.89\00:37:48.16
in their home,
they can watch us.
00:37:48.20\00:37:50.23
And we encourage people
during their times of needs,
00:37:50.33\00:37:54.10
during all the
destructions of life,
00:37:54.14\00:37:56.94
we want them to watch 3ABN.
00:37:57.14\00:37:59.47
Fall in love with God
and see how God's love
00:37:59.57\00:38:02.41
is just so amazing.
00:38:02.44\00:38:03.78
When you start to watch 3ABN,
the Holy Spirit speaks to you
00:38:04.51\00:38:07.62
and says, "Watch this part.
00:38:07.65\00:38:10.25
Watch this aspect of it."
00:38:10.29\00:38:12.05
The Lord will speak to you.
00:38:12.52\00:38:13.86
And there's so many people
we have like that in the past
00:38:14.32\00:38:17.03
and up until now, people
watch 3ABN for like three days,
00:38:17.59\00:38:20.93
and they say, "This is it.
00:38:20.96\00:38:22.66
This is God's truth."
00:38:23.00\00:38:24.33
It's completely from the
Bible, biblical cover to cover.
00:38:24.60\00:38:29.40
And people just
love what we offer.
00:38:29.44\00:38:32.64
And once it's shared,
they want to support us
00:38:32.67\00:38:35.54
by volunteering their time.
00:38:35.84\00:38:37.31
If they have a business,
they will say, like, if they're
00:38:37.35\00:38:39.58
doing baking, they will say,
"I bake some bread for you all
00:38:39.61\00:38:42.75
to give out to the community."
00:38:42.78\00:38:44.12
We collect it and give
it out to the community.
00:38:44.15\00:38:46.22
Whatever it be, just to
share God's amazing love.
00:38:46.25\00:38:49.29
Praise the
Lord. Praise the Lord.
00:38:49.72\00:38:51.16
That's amazing, brother,
what you guys are doing there?
00:38:51.63\00:38:54.10
And you're also networking with
other organizations as well.
00:38:54.20\00:38:57.87
So it's not like you guys
are just there by yourselves.
00:38:58.47\00:39:00.70
You've got connections
and you're doing projects with
00:39:00.74\00:39:03.71
other organizations as well.
00:39:04.04\00:39:05.37
So talk to us. I
was reading one here.
00:39:05.41\00:39:06.88
You're in with the
U.S. Embassy, the UN,
00:39:06.98\00:39:10.71
and other organizations as well.
00:39:10.91\00:39:12.98
And talk to us about
this mental health initiative
00:39:13.08\00:39:15.75
that you guys are doing.
00:39:15.78\00:39:17.12
Because that one
really touched home.
00:39:17.15\00:39:18.95
You know, I understand
that the mental health crisis,
00:39:18.99\00:39:21.26
it's worldwide.
00:39:22.22\00:39:23.56
So obviously it's
also affecting people there
00:39:23.59\00:39:26.56
in Trinidad and
Tobago since Covid.
00:39:26.59\00:39:29.03
So talk to us a little
about the connective networking
00:39:29.06\00:39:32.13
that you're doing with
these embassies and with these
00:39:32.17\00:39:34.30
other organizations,
and about the mental health
00:39:34.34\00:39:36.87
initiative as well.
00:39:36.91\00:39:38.24
We network with the
U.S. Embassy, and they
00:39:38.27\00:39:39.97
have community-based
projects where they go out
00:39:40.01\00:39:43.01
far and wide to
reach children, any family.
00:39:43.68\00:39:46.68
Sometimes we do special projects
like assisting an elderly home.
00:39:46.72\00:39:50.52
If you're home needs rebuilding,
or if the community needs
00:39:50.95\00:39:54.12
some sort of place for children
to play or children to be,
00:39:54.16\00:39:59.89
we go and we assist them
in whatever capacity we can,
00:40:00.36\00:40:03.26
in volunteers.
00:40:03.47\00:40:04.80
We connect with the
United Nations where they help
00:40:05.00\00:40:08.10
Venezuelan refugees.
00:40:08.14\00:40:10.07
And we have much more
projects we do with them.
00:40:10.74\00:40:13.07
When it comes to
mental health in our island,
00:40:14.01\00:40:16.75
because of the Covid aspect,
a lot of children were at home.
00:40:16.78\00:40:22.58
And being confined to
your home is not something that
00:40:22.62\00:40:27.06
they are accustomed to.
00:40:27.09\00:40:28.42
And some people are
aware that they are depressed,
00:40:28.46\00:40:31.59
or they have stress issues.
00:40:31.63\00:40:34.23
And it is now
coming out in the schools.
00:40:34.43\00:40:38.67
A lot of schools are
00:40:38.70\00:40:40.04
experiencing
violence in children.
00:40:40.47\00:40:42.14
Some schools are being shut down
because violence is so great
00:40:42.24\00:40:45.61
against children
among themselves,
00:40:45.64\00:40:48.01
and it's also going
with the teachers as well.
00:40:48.04\00:40:50.55
So teachers are frightened,
so afraid of their lives
00:40:50.58\00:40:54.32
because children are coming
in there and you don't know
00:40:54.35\00:40:57.02
what they're
experiencing in their minds.
00:40:57.05\00:40:59.35
So we try to connect with
the children, and more so the
00:40:59.85\00:41:03.22
parents to guide them.
00:41:03.26\00:41:04.86
3ABN has fantastic presentations
00:41:04.89\00:41:07.40
on dealing with
mental health issues.
00:41:07.43\00:41:10.80
And that is something not
just because of Covid, right,
00:41:10.83\00:41:14.17
but throughout your life
sometimes you're not knowing
00:41:14.20\00:41:17.21
that you are depressed or
you have any mental aspect
00:41:17.31\00:41:20.28
of your life from
childhood, or what be.
00:41:20.31\00:41:22.31
And when you listen to
these programs on 3ABN,
00:41:22.34\00:41:24.21
you would just say,
"Wow, I can connect with that.
00:41:24.25\00:41:27.22
I can relate to these events."
00:41:27.25\00:41:29.08
And that's just one aspect.
00:41:29.12\00:41:31.62
The Ministry of Health, we
want to reconnect with them
00:41:32.12\00:41:34.79
and go out into the
community and let people know
00:41:34.82\00:41:37.63
the programs that we
have that can actually help
00:41:37.93\00:41:40.80
their families, their children,
every single body as well.
00:41:40.83\00:41:44.63
That's powerful, man.
00:41:44.67\00:41:46.00
Because we, especially here,
you know, where I live in the
00:41:46.03\00:41:48.77
United States, we see
this every single day.
00:41:48.80\00:41:50.81
And more and more organizations
are starting to bring about
00:41:50.84\00:41:53.61
awareness of this mental health
crisis we have on our hands.
00:41:53.64\00:41:56.21
It's a crisis in a sense that,
you know, many, many people
00:41:56.24\00:41:59.68
are dealing with some
type of mental health disorder
00:41:59.71\00:42:02.68
or mental health
handicap of some kind.
00:42:02.72\00:42:06.29
And to see that you guys
are addressing that, and it's,
00:42:06.49\00:42:09.62
you know, helping the people
there in Trinidad and Tobago,
00:42:09.72\00:42:12.66
especially these children, man,
that's powerful, it's powerful.
00:42:12.69\00:42:16.03
So it's a blessing to
see you guys doing that.
00:42:16.06\00:42:18.30
Let's talk...
00:42:19.43\00:42:20.77
We have some more pictures here.
00:42:20.80\00:42:22.50
I think we have some
pictures of your supporters.
00:42:22.54\00:42:24.54
Maybe you can talk to
us a little bit about it.
00:42:24.57\00:42:26.74
Let's bring those
pictures up of your supporters,
00:42:27.04\00:42:29.11
and tell us a
little bit about this.
00:42:29.14\00:42:30.65
This gentleman, he is
a true supporter of 3ABN.
00:42:30.68\00:42:33.98
He allows us to
have a table with our
00:42:34.02\00:42:36.45
"Ten
Commandments" books, and others.
00:42:36.48\00:42:38.09
So he has a lot
of customers coming.
00:42:38.72\00:42:41.89
He's called, Gifted
Hands, in his community.
00:42:42.82\00:42:47.10
This lady, we met her
when we were on the north coast
00:42:47.66\00:42:50.70
at the beachside.
00:42:50.73\00:42:52.07
And she just got so excited
to know, "3ABN is in Trinidad?"
00:42:52.10\00:42:56.34
We said, "Yes."
00:42:56.37\00:42:57.71
And we gave her one.
00:42:57.74\00:42:59.34
And during the time of
Covid, we want to recognize
00:42:59.54\00:43:04.58
and honor our wonderful
pioneer volunteer, Deborah.
00:43:04.61\00:43:12.42
It's sad that during
that time in her business
00:43:12.52\00:43:15.59
there was Covid, and she did not
recover from it, unfortunately.
00:43:16.56\00:43:21.56
It was such a great
loss for us as a team.
00:43:21.76\00:43:25.73
Her husband and her
daughter are doing their best to
00:43:26.63\00:43:29.77
recover from
the loss of Deborah.
00:43:30.51\00:43:35.31
And we just want to say
she's a great loss to us.
00:43:35.34\00:43:39.88
She had been a
tremendous support to us.
00:43:39.91\00:43:42.78
When we were out in the
community, she would get up by
00:43:42.82\00:43:44.85
3:00 in the morning and prepare
meals for the entire team.
00:43:44.89\00:43:48.86
She would come at our
little warehouse and help us.
00:43:49.72\00:43:54.13
And then much more
things that she used to do,
00:43:54.66\00:43:56.46
she and her husband, and
including her daughter as well.
00:43:56.50\00:43:59.10
~ Praise the Lord.
00:43:59.13\00:44:00.50
Praise God for the
supporters and those who believe
00:44:00.70\00:44:03.10
in the gospel message
and the gospel commission
00:44:03.14\00:44:06.14
that we have,
that God has given us
00:44:06.17\00:44:07.58
to get the gospel out there.
00:44:07.61\00:44:08.94
And sometimes it's
not just sharing the Word,
00:44:08.98\00:44:11.05
even though, yes, we
share the Word of God,
00:44:11.08\00:44:12.75
and it's our job to
share the Word of God,
00:44:12.78\00:44:14.55
sometimes people need
to see the Word of God
00:44:14.78\00:44:16.85
taking place and in
action in your life.
00:44:17.09\00:44:19.49
And that's what
you guys are doing.
00:44:19.52\00:44:20.86
So praise the Lord for
what you're doing there.
00:44:20.89\00:44:22.32
I know I'm seeing, I'm
looking back on my list here.
00:44:22.36\00:44:25.19
We have many, many
pictures for this hour,
00:44:25.29\00:44:27.33
and I love the
pictures because it helps
00:44:27.36\00:44:29.30
give a visual of what
you guys are doing there.
00:44:29.33\00:44:31.40
There's a number of pictures
here that we're going to show
00:44:31.43\00:44:34.87
in regards to a second project
that young guys have done.
00:44:34.90\00:44:37.37
Why don't you
lead us through that
00:44:37.67\00:44:39.01
as we look at these pictures.
00:44:39.04\00:44:40.38
~ Certainly.
00:44:40.41\00:44:41.74
We were part of a beach
cleanup on the Mayaro coast
00:44:41.78\00:44:45.95
on the eastern
side of the island.
00:44:45.98\00:44:47.75
A lot of our volunteers, they
just love to do community work
00:44:48.68\00:44:51.65
and help the
environment, help others.
00:44:51.69\00:44:54.12
And in this aspect,
when we clean the beach up,
00:44:54.16\00:44:57.59
turtles can come and hatch.
00:44:57.79\00:44:59.69
This is one of the
colonels from the U.S. Embassy.
00:45:00.76\00:45:05.27
And we were part and parcel of
their health fairs that they had
00:45:05.30\00:45:10.57
throughout the island.
00:45:10.61\00:45:11.94
They only
allowed us to be there.
00:45:11.97\00:45:14.18
We shared 3ABN with
people who came there.
00:45:14.21\00:45:18.08
And thousands and
thousands of people came.
00:45:18.11\00:45:20.65
We also were part of
sports day with the Venezuelans
00:45:21.62\00:45:26.52
in our community.
00:45:27.09\00:45:28.42
We also work together with
00:45:28.46\00:45:30.69
the Woodbrook
Seventh-day Adventist Church
00:45:31.16\00:45:32.93
to uplift a children's home
called, Princesses of Belrum.
00:45:33.26\00:45:37.73
And we not just
painted the entire compound,
00:45:37.77\00:45:42.17
we did an entire
facelift to the community.
00:45:42.20\00:45:45.27
One aspect of this is that
there were tons of wheelchairs
00:45:45.71\00:45:48.94
in an upper room, and they
tried to have that removed.
00:45:49.24\00:45:52.28
And in doing that, we
got volunteers to come
00:45:52.48\00:45:56.48
with a 20 feet bin, and we
just dropped the wheelchairs in.
00:45:56.52\00:46:02.76
And when the directors
came and they saw that,
00:46:02.79\00:46:05.66
they were just so
amazed to know that here's what
00:46:05.69\00:46:08.26
we have been
waiting for so many months
00:46:09.63\00:46:11.27
to have these wheelchairs moved,
00:46:11.30\00:46:12.67
to help these children
in the communities as well.
00:46:12.70\00:46:14.90
The pictures you've seen as well
is a lot of those supporters.
00:46:14.94\00:46:18.07
Doctor and Pastor Clive Dottin.
00:46:18.11\00:46:20.18
He is a legend on
our island, well known.
00:46:20.38\00:46:22.94
He's well-known, well
loved, well respected.
00:46:22.98\00:46:25.88
And he loves 3ABN and
he would support 3ABN.
00:46:26.08\00:46:28.92
We have done projects
with him in dealing with crime.
00:46:29.12\00:46:32.55
Crime is really out
of control in our island.
00:46:32.59\00:46:38.03
And we want to share what
we offer on 3ABN to people
00:46:38.06\00:46:43.23
across the island and let
them know that God is love.
00:46:43.26\00:46:47.10
And if you have
the love of God in you,
00:46:47.30\00:46:49.34
you will not commit any
acts of crime or anything.
00:46:49.37\00:46:52.97
So there are many people.
00:46:53.38\00:46:54.71
And there was Michelle
and Morita in Rio Claro
00:46:54.74\00:46:59.25
on the south side of the island.
00:46:59.91\00:47:01.55
There are so many
aspects of projects:
00:47:02.28\00:47:04.82
community, to the ground.
00:47:05.05\00:47:06.89
We reach people where they
are, where they're hurting.
00:47:06.92\00:47:09.69
Mending broken people.
00:47:10.49\00:47:11.93
~ That's right, brother.
- Mending broken people.
00:47:11.96\00:47:14.33
People have to understand
we're broken because of sin.
00:47:15.03\00:47:17.67
And when you reach
people where they are,
00:47:17.70\00:47:19.63
it connects with them.
00:47:20.77\00:47:22.94
And the Holy Spirit
takes it from there.
00:47:22.97\00:47:24.91
We're called to catch the fish.
00:47:25.37\00:47:27.48
Not to scale it or to clean it.
00:47:27.51\00:47:29.64
That's the Holy Spirit's job.
00:47:29.68\00:47:31.15
So our job is to let you
know, we're here to help you.
00:47:31.35\00:47:36.08
So we give them
opportunity and the options.
00:47:36.79\00:47:39.09
Here's what, we can bless
you by just watching 3ABN.
00:47:39.12\00:47:42.39
And people will
just say, "Who is 3ABN?"
00:47:42.62\00:47:45.76
"What is 3ABN?"
00:47:45.79\00:47:47.13
I say, "I'm glad you asked."
00:47:47.16\00:47:48.56
And then we tell
them all that we offer,
00:47:48.60\00:47:51.07
and a whole lot more.
00:47:51.10\00:47:52.43
~ Amen. Praise
the Lord, brother.
00:47:52.47\00:47:54.74
You guys have done
some amazing things.
00:47:54.77\00:47:58.04
And it's very clear.
00:47:58.07\00:47:59.41
I want to just say a special
thank you to you, Rodney,
00:47:59.44\00:48:01.38
and all the volunteers
in Trinidad and Tobago.
00:48:01.68\00:48:04.05
I hope you guys
see this program.
00:48:04.25\00:48:05.68
And I hope you
know that we appreciate
00:48:05.71\00:48:07.75
and we are seeing, even though
we are several thousand miles
00:48:07.78\00:48:10.59
apart, we're hearing, we're
seeing, and we're recognizing
00:48:10.62\00:48:13.49
the work that you
guys are doing there.
00:48:13.52\00:48:14.86
We just praise God for the Holy
Spirit that's working through
00:48:14.89\00:48:18.03
you to reach out to
other people who are in need.
00:48:18.06\00:48:20.30
Because that's what
the gospel is all about.
00:48:20.33\00:48:21.80
It's one thing,
yes, to share the Word.
00:48:21.83\00:48:24.10
And we should share the
Word, we should be sowing seeds,
00:48:24.13\00:48:26.80
and we should be
proclaiming the gospel message.
00:48:26.84\00:48:28.74
But it's a whole other thing
to be able to live that out,
00:48:28.94\00:48:31.57
and to see it in the lives,
and to see the love of God
00:48:31.61\00:48:34.51
transforming hearts and lives
from what it is that you're
00:48:34.54\00:48:37.35
actually doing
to affect someone.
00:48:37.38\00:48:39.68
So thank you, guys, so
much for all that you do.
00:48:39.71\00:48:41.95
And we just praise God and
we know that God is going to
00:48:41.98\00:48:44.79
continue to use you guys.
00:48:44.82\00:48:46.15
We're running down,
we've got about 3 minutes left
00:48:46.19\00:48:48.42
in this main portion
before we have our final words.
00:48:48.46\00:48:51.26
But I understand that you guys
have some plans for the future.
00:48:51.29\00:48:55.63
And I thought that 100,000 books
was a lot, but I'm looking at
00:48:55.66\00:49:00.10
here a much larger number of
this "Focus on Truth" booklets
00:49:00.14\00:49:04.67
initiative that you
guys have planned for 2023.
00:49:04.71\00:49:07.34
So tell us a
little bit about that.
00:49:07.38\00:49:08.74
We're embarking on one of the
largest mission projects ever
00:49:08.84\00:49:11.58
on our island with 300,000
"Focus on Truth" booklets:
00:49:11.61\00:49:16.15
Truth About Hell,
Truth About Salvation,
00:49:16.18\00:49:19.35
Truth About the
Ten Commandments.
00:49:19.39\00:49:21.09
These books written by
Danny Shelton are amazing.
00:49:21.12\00:49:24.59
Simple little booklets
that people can just read.
00:49:24.79\00:49:27.50
They can also download
them from the 3ABN website
00:49:27.53\00:49:30.17
and read it.
00:49:30.20\00:49:31.53
And so we are going to
bring that 300,000 pretty soon.
00:49:32.00\00:49:35.90
It has been donated
by 3ABN to the island
00:49:35.94\00:49:39.07
of Trinidad and Tobago.
00:49:39.11\00:49:40.51
And it's such a
fantastic mission opportunity.
00:49:40.54\00:49:43.95
And we want to let
the volunteers know,
00:49:44.05\00:49:46.38
and want to let the
people of the island know that
00:49:46.41\00:49:48.48
we need their support.
00:49:48.68\00:49:50.12
Shipping cost has
increased tremendously.
00:49:50.72\00:49:53.32
So that raises the
bar of what we can afford.
00:49:54.09\00:49:57.79
And so we would love people
to support us in that aspect.
00:49:57.83\00:50:00.60
- Yes. ~Yes, absolutely.
00:50:00.96\00:50:02.33
In fact, you guys are going to
see this in just a little while.
00:50:02.53\00:50:05.10
I'm just pulling this
up right here real quick.
00:50:05.43\00:50:07.37
Not because you're going
to be able to see it very
00:50:07.84\00:50:09.70
clearly on my big iPad here,
but maybe you can a little bit.
00:50:09.74\00:50:12.47
So you just go to 3ABN.tv
and you're going to see this
00:50:12.51\00:50:15.74
in just a few moments as
they pull up the address roll
00:50:15.78\00:50:19.11
where you can go, but this
is the main website for 3ABN.
00:50:19.15\00:50:23.12
So 3ABN.tv, and when you
get onto the mail website,
00:50:23.15\00:50:26.52
up in the far right-hand
corner there's a donate tab.
00:50:26.55\00:50:29.56
So if you click on
the donate tab there,
00:50:29.59\00:50:31.56
it will pull up
this second screen here
00:50:31.59\00:50:33.66
where you can make a donation
to 3ABN's main ministry.
00:50:33.70\00:50:36.67
Or if you go down and
scroll down, you'll see
00:50:36.70\00:50:39.23
all of these
individual tabs right here.
00:50:39.27\00:50:41.70
And the number you want to
look for if you want to support
00:50:41.74\00:50:44.27
the effort for Trinidad
and Tobago and what Rodney is
00:50:44.31\00:50:48.08
leading out in
there at the 3ABN ministry
00:50:48.11\00:50:50.35
to the wonderful
people in Trinidad and Tobago,
00:50:50.38\00:50:52.31
you want to go to number 394.
00:50:52.35\00:50:55.05
I believe on my list it's
right there at the top right.
00:50:55.08\00:50:58.39
It's in the second
column on my iPad here.
00:50:58.42\00:51:00.49
I'm not sure how it
will appear on your screen,
00:51:00.52\00:51:02.49
but number 394, that's
the one you want to look at.
00:51:02.52\00:51:05.76
And you want to find
it, click that donate tab,
00:51:05.86\00:51:08.50
and you can donate
to this wonderful cause.
00:51:08.53\00:51:11.83
Rodney, I'm just thrilled
with what you guys are doing.
00:51:11.87\00:51:14.97
It's such a
blessing to see what the Lord
00:51:15.00\00:51:16.71
is doing, the 3ABN
ministry is able to do
00:51:16.74\00:51:20.31
to help the wonderful
people of Trinidad and Tobago.
00:51:20.34\00:51:22.38
It's not just about,
again, proclaiming the Word,
00:51:22.41\00:51:25.01
because that's a
powerful way of witnessing,
00:51:25.05\00:51:27.25
but also living it out, showing
it, and taking the love of God
00:51:27.28\00:51:31.05
to the people and
meeting them where they are.
00:51:31.09\00:51:33.05
My friends, if you want
to support this ministry,
00:51:33.15\00:51:35.26

people in Trinidad and Tobago.
00:51:36.66\00:51:40.80
