As you're well aware,
00:00:01.60\00:00:02.93
we're living in
unprecedented times.
00:00:02.96\00:00:05.63
Join us now for
today's special program.
00:00:05.67\00:00:08.94
I want to spend my life
00:00:12.77\00:00:18.25
Mending broken people
00:00:18.28\00:00:23.32
I want to spend my life
00:00:23.35\00:00:29.22
Removing pain
00:00:29.26\00:00:34.13
Lord, let my words
00:00:34.16\00:00:39.57
Heal a heart that hurts
00:00:39.60\00:00:44.67
I want to spend my life
00:00:44.71\00:00:50.15
Mending broken people
00:00:50.18\00:00:55.32
I want to spend my life
00:00:55.35\00:01:00.86
Mending broken people
00:01:00.89\00:01:04.13
Hello and welcome to
00:01:15.37\00:01:16.71
another 3ABN
Thursday Night Live.
00:01:16.74\00:01:18.67
We're so glad that
00:01:18.71\00:01:20.04
you have joined us this evening.
00:01:20.08\00:01:21.64
You're part of our family.
00:01:21.68\00:01:23.01
We've had a fun week
here at 3ABN, haven't we?
00:01:23.04\00:01:26.31
We have.
00:01:26.35\00:01:27.68
I wish y'all could see
what happens behind the scenes
00:01:27.72\00:01:29.28
before it go live
00:01:29.32\00:01:30.65
because it was a
little busy just now.
00:01:30.69\00:01:32.05
Yeah.
00:01:32.09\00:01:33.42
So you know with technology
and live signals, you know,
00:01:33.46\00:01:35.62
there always can be a challenge
00:01:35.66\00:01:37.09
and so Jill is going to give you
00:01:37.13\00:01:38.46
a little heads up
of what we're going to,
00:01:38.49\00:01:40.80
by God's grace, do this evening
00:01:40.83\00:01:42.60
and things we're
going to cover this evening
00:01:42.63\00:01:44.60
and a couple of
those are some skypes
00:01:44.63\00:01:46.30
and we were just being told
some information about that.
00:01:46.33\00:01:49.04
So this is live
television. But that's okay.
00:01:49.07\00:01:52.17
The Lord's in control,
00:01:52.21\00:01:53.54
it's been a great
week here at 3ABN.
00:01:53.58\00:01:55.71
Jill and I went home
for lunch this afternoon
00:01:55.74\00:01:58.31
and there are some little,
00:01:58.35\00:01:59.68
there's a bird nest
close to our side door there.
00:01:59.71\00:02:02.18
And you know that
those little birds,
00:02:02.22\00:02:04.12
they are about
to leave the nest.
00:02:04.15\00:02:05.92
They are so packed in
there, bless their hearts,
00:02:05.95\00:02:08.46
their heads are hanging out,
their wings are hanging out.
00:02:08.49\00:02:10.13
So I think they're getting ready
00:02:10.16\00:02:11.49
to fly the coop, so to speak.
00:02:11.53\00:02:12.86
I think they are.
00:02:12.89\00:02:14.23
But, you know, with everything
that's going on in this world,
00:02:14.26\00:02:15.60
you know, with the
tragedy, you know, with COVID
00:02:15.63\00:02:17.63
and all the tragedies and things
00:02:17.67\00:02:19.03
that are happening
in this world, you know,
00:02:19.07\00:02:20.84
it's a blessing to
be able to also look
00:02:20.87\00:02:22.54
and realize that
God is in control,
00:02:22.57\00:02:26.04
that as I look at
nature and what God is doing,
00:02:26.07\00:02:28.64
there's still
beauty in the midst of
00:02:28.68\00:02:30.41
all of this tragedy.
00:02:30.45\00:02:31.78
But we do need to
pray for the world,
00:02:31.81\00:02:33.52
for this nation as a home.
00:02:33.55\00:02:35.98
You know, I'm
going back to COVID,
00:02:36.02\00:02:38.65
we were talking to
someone here just this week,
00:02:38.69\00:02:40.66
and they lost two
family members to COVID.
00:02:40.69\00:02:44.49
So, you know, where the pandemic
00:02:44.53\00:02:46.16
may be starting to
ease, they're starting to lift
00:02:46.19\00:02:47.83
some of the restrictions
here in the State of Illinois.
00:02:47.86\00:02:51.03
And I know different parts
of the country and the world,
00:02:51.07\00:02:53.27
but still there's so much
pain that just continues on.
00:02:53.30\00:02:56.74
So let's remember to
keep those in prayer.
00:02:56.77\00:02:59.34
But we have an exciting evening,
00:02:59.37\00:03:00.71
don't we, tonight?
00:03:00.74\00:03:02.08
We do. 3ABN's
all about evangelism.
00:03:02.11\00:03:03.45
That's right.
00:03:03.48\00:03:04.81
Ever since God
called Danny 35 years ago
00:03:04.85\00:03:06.51
to begin a television station
that would reach the world
00:03:06.55\00:03:09.35
with the undiluted
three angels' messages,
00:03:09.38\00:03:11.69
3ABN has been about evangelism.
00:03:11.72\00:03:14.46
And tonight's topic is
evangelism updates from 3ABN.
00:03:14.49\00:03:18.99
We could say from your ministry.
00:03:19.03\00:03:20.96
So we're going to hear
00:03:21.00\00:03:22.33
from all of our
general managers,
00:03:22.36\00:03:24.63
network managers who
are here on site at 3ABN.
00:03:24.67\00:03:28.64
We're going to hear
updates, praise reports,
00:03:28.67\00:03:30.97
new programming
that's coming out,
00:03:31.01\00:03:33.14
stories from viewers
and listeners, and just see
00:03:33.17\00:03:36.54
what God is
doing in this ministry.
00:03:36.58\00:03:38.41
We're also going to hear,
00:03:38.45\00:03:40.55
I think, from
some people overseas.
00:03:40.58\00:03:42.35
Yeah, that's true.
00:03:42.38\00:03:43.72
And that's what we're going
to attempt to do with the Skype.
00:03:43.75\00:03:45.55
We should introduce
00:03:45.59\00:03:46.92
who we have here
for this first part.
00:03:46.96\00:03:48.29
We don't have Mr.
Danny and Dr. Yvonne
00:03:48.32\00:03:50.49
here with us this evening.
00:03:50.53\00:03:51.86
They were not able to join us.
00:03:51.89\00:03:53.23
But there's such a
big part of this family
00:03:53.26\00:03:54.76
and it's fun working
with both of them, isn't it?
00:03:54.80\00:03:56.23
It is.
00:03:56.26\00:03:57.60
I love working with them,
00:03:57.63\00:03:58.97
just such wisdom and
understanding and insight,
00:03:59.00\00:04:02.60
so we're very blessed by that.
00:04:02.64\00:04:03.97
You know, and I want to say too,
00:04:04.01\00:04:05.34
'cause many of you
have been following
00:04:05.37\00:04:06.71
the Jesus Loves Me Challenge
that Mr. Danny put forth here.
00:04:06.74\00:04:09.58
Oh, I don't know,
month or so ago and wow,
00:04:09.61\00:04:11.68
what an incredible response
that has been coming in.
00:04:11.71\00:04:14.88
So we're not going
to do that this evening
00:04:14.92\00:04:16.48
'cause more videos
have come in from you.
00:04:16.52\00:04:18.59
Thank you for doing that.
00:04:18.62\00:04:19.95
But we're gonna
air some hopefully
00:04:19.99\00:04:21.32
by God's grace next week
00:04:21.36\00:04:22.69
when Mr. Danny
is here on the set.
00:04:22.72\00:04:24.06
And hopefully you all heard
about that challenge for Greg
00:04:24.09\00:04:26.29
and I did too Jesus Loves Me.
00:04:26.33\00:04:27.96
So, hopefully by
next Thursday night
00:04:28.00\00:04:31.47
we can have something.
00:04:31.50\00:04:32.83
Is that a
challenge? Oh, yes, I think...
00:04:32.87\00:04:34.34
Well, let's
introduce with our guests.
00:04:34.37\00:04:35.87
I think I opened a can of worms.
00:04:35.90\00:04:37.51
So, okay, we have Roy
Hunt, who is the director of
00:04:37.54\00:04:41.18
3ABN Planned Giving and
Trust Services Department,
00:04:41.21\00:04:43.91
and it's just such a joy
to have you here tonight.
00:04:43.95\00:04:46.45
It's good to be here.
00:04:46.48\00:04:48.08
You and your wife Earlenne
00:04:48.12\00:04:49.55
have been here how
many years at 3ABN?
00:04:49.58\00:04:51.95
It'll be 10 years in July. Wow!
00:04:51.99\00:04:55.02
That's incredible.
Doesn't seem possible.
00:04:55.06\00:04:56.39
Yeah. Yeah.
00:04:56.42\00:04:57.76
Seems like 10 years
ago I was sitting here
00:04:57.79\00:04:59.13
being introduced
for the first time.
00:04:59.16\00:05:01.06
You know what, Roy,
I'm going to tell you this,
00:05:01.10\00:05:02.43
you know, you look younger
now than when you first came,
00:05:02.46\00:05:04.57
so 3ABN you
must enjoy your work.
00:05:04.60\00:05:07.84
Enjoyed tremendously. Yeah.
00:05:07.87\00:05:10.84
You know it's a blessing,
00:05:10.87\00:05:12.21
I know, we enjoy
working with the people
00:05:12.24\00:05:14.01
'cause, you know,
it's our family right, Roy,
00:05:14.04\00:05:15.71
that's who we're
talking to here this evening.
00:05:15.74\00:05:17.95
And you get to meet a lot of
the 3ABN family face to face.
00:05:17.98\00:05:21.18
Face to face.
00:05:21.22\00:05:22.55
When we walk in a home,
00:05:22.58\00:05:25.02
they've never met us
before except on television.
00:05:25.05\00:05:28.22
They said, "You're just like
family coming into our home.
00:05:28.26\00:05:31.19
And that's a compliment
for 3ABN and to each one of us.
00:05:31.23\00:05:34.93
Thank you for
being on this evening
00:05:34.96\00:05:36.30
because, you know,
we're hearing a lot about
00:05:36.33\00:05:37.67
the economic challenges
00:05:37.70\00:05:39.03
that are in this
world in the United States,
00:05:39.07\00:05:40.94
you know, what's
happening with the money,
00:05:40.97\00:05:42.30
people are concerned
about the economy and all that.
00:05:42.34\00:05:44.34
So Roy is going to be giving us
00:05:44.37\00:05:45.71
some very important
updates this evening,
00:05:45.74\00:05:48.31
telling us what's going on
00:05:48.34\00:05:49.68
in Planned Giving
and Trust Services.
00:05:49.71\00:05:51.05
The Lord is blessing
though. And so, it's a big part.
00:05:51.08\00:05:53.82
You're the...
00:05:53.85\00:05:55.35
Yeah, this department of
3ABN is very important to 3ABN.
00:05:55.38\00:05:57.89
Amen. Absolutely.
00:05:57.92\00:05:59.55
And sitting, I
would say next to you,
00:05:59.59\00:06:01.42
but we're actually
practicing social distancing.
00:06:01.46\00:06:03.02
We are.
00:06:03.06\00:06:04.39
So we're little ways around
the island is Jay Christian
00:06:04.43\00:06:08.56
who is the general
manager of 3ABN Radio Network.
00:06:08.60\00:06:12.20
And, Jay, it's so good
to have you here tonight.
00:06:12.23\00:06:15.07
It's good to be here.
Thank you for the invitation.
00:06:15.10\00:06:17.77
You know, as Jill said,
listeners, did you notice that?
00:06:17.81\00:06:20.18
Yeah, yes. First
said some listeners.
00:06:20.21\00:06:22.11
Yeah.
00:06:22.14\00:06:23.91
'Cause there's also the viewers,
00:06:23.95\00:06:25.28
but then we also have
00:06:25.31\00:06:26.65
our listening
audience as well in the family.
00:06:26.68\00:06:28.02
Yeah. Yeah.
00:06:28.05\00:06:29.38
Sometimes we're a
little sensitive about that.
00:06:29.42\00:06:30.75
Well, I don't blame you.
00:06:30.79\00:06:32.12
We have listeners,
and we always want to
00:06:32.15\00:06:33.49
make sure that
they are welcomed.
00:06:33.52\00:06:34.86
That's right.
00:06:34.89\00:06:36.22
And your wife Sveta works
in 3ABN Publishing Department
00:06:36.26\00:06:38.73
and she does an incredible job
00:06:38.76\00:06:40.83
with the photography and
graphics and design and...
00:06:40.86\00:06:44.13
She does. Yeah.
00:06:44.17\00:06:45.57
You've been here,
what, 20-21 years?
00:06:45.60\00:06:48.20
Twenty-one years in August.
Few more months from now.
00:06:48.24\00:06:51.21
Yeah. It's longevity.
00:06:51.24\00:06:52.57
Yeah.
00:06:52.61\00:06:53.94
Yeah, what a blessing, you know,
00:06:53.98\00:06:55.31
I think about all the
family of networks here
00:06:55.34\00:06:56.68
at 3ABN and how
God has expanded that
00:06:56.71\00:06:59.01
through the years
and the incredible reach.
00:06:59.05\00:07:00.88
We're going to be talking
about some exciting statistics
00:07:00.92\00:07:02.98
that Adam Dean just sent through
00:07:03.02\00:07:04.85
to us this evening.
00:07:04.89\00:07:06.22
It's just amazing how
this gospel of the kingdom
00:07:06.25\00:07:08.66
of Jesus Christ is
being spread around the world.
00:07:08.69\00:07:11.99
I think, next, let's go
00:07:12.03\00:07:13.93
to the Island of
Trinidad and Tobago.
00:07:13.96\00:07:15.73
Let's try this.
00:07:15.76\00:07:17.10
Brother Rodney Reynold
00:07:17.13\00:07:18.50
is a 3ABN
representative, 3ABN volunteer.
00:07:18.53\00:07:21.57
He volunteers full time
and hold down a job as well.
00:07:21.60\00:07:25.34
But he volunteers for 3ABN
00:07:25.37\00:07:26.91
there in the islands
of Trinidad and Tobago.
00:07:26.94\00:07:30.11
We had the
privilege, Greg and I,
00:07:30.15\00:07:31.55
and quite a few of the
team went there the March 1,
00:07:31.58\00:07:34.12
right before COVID broke.
00:07:34.15\00:07:35.85
We were overseas
there and just to see
00:07:35.88\00:07:38.19
what God is doing
there through Rodney,
00:07:38.22\00:07:41.86
incredible people passion
about the ministry of 3ABN.
00:07:41.89\00:07:46.39
3ABN is on cable.
00:07:46.43\00:07:48.00
And it seems like nine
different cable systems
00:07:48.03\00:07:50.97
and they've been
on cable for years.
00:07:51.00\00:07:52.57
So everybody there
knows the ministry of 3ABN.
00:07:52.60\00:07:56.27
You just walk down the street
00:07:56.30\00:07:57.64
and people say,
"Ah, I watch 3ABN."
00:07:57.67\00:07:59.81
They love that.
00:07:59.84\00:08:01.18
So we're so grateful
for Rodney and his service.
00:08:01.21\00:08:03.41
When we were there in March,
00:08:03.45\00:08:04.81
there was a
certain shipment of books,
00:08:04.85\00:08:08.02
"Ten Commandments
Twice Removed" books
00:08:08.05\00:08:10.89
that were in the port
waiting to be cleared customs
00:08:10.92\00:08:14.02
and waiting to
come into the country.
00:08:14.06\00:08:16.09
And I believe
that has taken place.
00:08:16.12\00:08:18.69
And right now these
books are being distributed.
00:08:18.73\00:08:20.53
You know, and I want to mention
this too, because, you know,
00:08:20.56\00:08:22.40
we're just very
grateful for you,
00:08:22.43\00:08:23.90
our supporters and family.
00:08:23.93\00:08:25.37
You know, we're thankful
00:08:25.40\00:08:26.74
to every one of you, our donors.
00:08:26.77\00:08:28.40
But for this project,
00:08:28.44\00:08:29.77
we had a couple
of strong supporters,
00:08:29.80\00:08:33.17
a couple of strong donations
from a couple of families,
00:08:33.21\00:08:35.68
individuals step forward
for this incredible project.
00:08:35.71\00:08:38.71
Tell us the amount
00:08:38.75\00:08:40.08
of Ten
Commandments Twice Removed books
00:08:40.12\00:08:41.45
that actually went
to Trinidad and Tobago.
00:08:41.48\00:08:42.88
You really put me
on the spot. I did.
00:08:42.92\00:08:44.32
But I was hoping Rodney
would be on Skype right now.
00:08:44.35\00:08:46.39
I want to say there's 100,000
00:08:46.42\00:08:48.06
Ten Commandments
Twice Removed books
00:08:48.09\00:08:49.42
went to Trinidad and
Tobago, but it might be 150,000.
00:08:49.46\00:08:52.79
And Rodney can correct
me. Rodney, are you there?
00:08:52.83\00:08:55.66
Yes, Jill, I'm here. All right.
00:08:55.70\00:08:57.07
Yay! Good to
see you, my brother.
00:08:57.10\00:08:59.93
So how many books
did we ship there?
00:08:59.97\00:09:03.54
We shipped in 100,000
00:09:03.57\00:09:05.91
Ten Commandments
Twice Removed books
00:09:05.94\00:09:08.18
and they have worked.
00:09:08.21\00:09:10.68
And we are right now
these three parent books
00:09:10.71\00:09:15.02
we'll go out and distribute
00:09:15.05\00:09:16.52
into communities of
Trinidad and Tobago.
00:09:16.55\00:09:19.15
Wow! So I think... I
don't know you have video.
00:09:19.19\00:09:22.69
I don't know if you
want to start with a video
00:09:22.72\00:09:24.39
or you want to
start with the pictures,
00:09:24.43\00:09:26.16
but it's incredible
00:09:26.19\00:09:27.53
how you're
mobilizing people there.
00:09:27.56\00:09:29.36
So what would you
like to start with?
00:09:29.40\00:09:33.10
We can run the video
and then give a background
00:09:33.13\00:09:35.64
on what's happened
00:09:35.67\00:09:37.01
and I could
expand from here as well.
00:09:37.04\00:09:38.37
Okay.
00:09:38.41\00:09:39.74
So we're gonna go
do some video now,
00:09:39.77\00:09:41.11
we can start rolling
that and then you'll explain
00:09:41.14\00:09:42.58
what we're actually seeing
here in Trinidad and Tobago.
00:09:42.61\00:09:45.35
And while we
wait for that to come,
00:09:45.38\00:09:46.72
it's just, you know,
00:09:46.75\00:09:48.08
it's incredible to actually see,
00:09:48.12\00:09:49.45
like you said, the mobilization
of everyone there in Trinidad.
00:09:49.48\00:09:52.22
We saw some
pictures coming in from
00:09:52.25\00:09:54.99
what's taking place
there, even during this pandemic
00:09:55.02\00:09:58.26
that's been going on
people wearing masks.
00:09:58.29\00:10:01.36
And we have the pictures.
Tonight we're going to show.
00:10:01.40\00:10:02.73
Okay.
00:10:02.76\00:10:04.10
But let's see if
one of those videos is
00:10:04.13\00:10:05.63
with full audio
and I don't know,
00:10:05.67\00:10:07.14
maybe we can go
to that video first.
00:10:07.17\00:10:08.74
I think it was a young
lady there in Port of Spain
00:10:08.77\00:10:12.14
and this is just when the books
00:10:12.17\00:10:13.51
were clearing customs and
being loaded and coming in.
00:10:13.54\00:10:15.84
So let's take a
look at that video now.
00:10:15.88\00:10:19.88
Hi, everyone. I'm
Julie Meharry Simpson.
00:10:19.91\00:10:23.28
And today we are at the port of
00:10:23.32\00:10:25.39
Port of Spain in
Trinidad and Tobago.
00:10:25.42\00:10:28.59
I am so excited, in
fact we are also excited.
00:10:28.62\00:10:32.26
We are anxiously expecting
00:10:32.29\00:10:34.36
the arrival of a
trailer with 100,000 books.
00:10:34.40\00:10:38.83
The name of the book is
Ten Commandments Twice Removed,
00:10:38.87\00:10:42.14
written by Danny
Shelton and Shelley Quinn.
00:10:42.17\00:10:44.84
These books was sent from 3ABN
00:10:44.87\00:10:47.51
and will be distributed
all over Trinidad and Tobago
00:10:47.54\00:10:51.31
and will definitely
change the lives of many.
00:10:51.35\00:10:54.28
So thank you to
3ABN for these books
00:10:54.32\00:10:56.72
and the trailer
will be here soon.
00:10:56.75\00:11:01.09
Amen.
00:11:01.12\00:11:02.46
You know, you can
see the excitement,
00:11:02.49\00:11:03.83
can't you and exuberance?
00:11:03.86\00:11:05.19
Yeah.
00:11:05.23\00:11:06.56
'Cause that's a
lot of work, you know,
00:11:06.59\00:11:07.93
going through all 100,000 books.
00:11:07.96\00:11:09.30
Right.
00:11:09.33\00:11:10.67
But then you think about
the reach, Brother Rodney,
00:11:10.70\00:11:12.03
isn't that encouraging?
00:11:12.07\00:11:13.40
You know, you think
about all these books
00:11:13.44\00:11:14.77
that are being distributed,
00:11:14.80\00:11:16.14
well, these are not
just books being distributed,
00:11:16.17\00:11:18.01
but these books are being
distributed for a purpose,
00:11:18.04\00:11:20.38
and that purpose is to change
people's lives for eternity.
00:11:20.41\00:11:24.51
Yes, it is.
00:11:24.55\00:11:25.88
Thank you all for
having us here to highlight
00:11:25.91\00:11:28.42
what is happening
in Trinidad and Tobago.
00:11:28.45\00:11:30.45
We moved the 100,000
books which is 1,000 boxes,
00:11:30.49\00:11:35.69
we moved that
in under two hours,
00:11:35.72\00:11:38.49
just under two hours.
00:11:38.53\00:11:39.86
The volunteers are
probably either keen and,
00:11:39.89\00:11:42.76
it was just amazing
for them to empty it.
00:11:42.80\00:11:44.93
During this challenging time,
00:11:44.97\00:11:47.00
we had almost 30 volunteers came
00:11:47.04\00:11:49.84
and we emptied that container.
00:11:49.87\00:11:51.64
And it was just so
amazing to see how many people
00:11:51.67\00:11:54.34
came in support in
spite of the challenge.
00:11:54.38\00:11:56.64
And we like to thank...
00:11:56.68\00:11:58.25
There are so many people
00:11:58.28\00:11:59.61
to thank for making this happen.
00:11:59.65\00:12:01.12
Of course, number one will
be 3ABN and all the sponsors.
00:12:01.15\00:12:05.92
We have the ministry of
health who gave us permission
00:12:05.95\00:12:08.19
to empty the container
00:12:08.22\00:12:09.66
during the
challenging time of COVID.
00:12:09.69\00:12:11.63
We have the
controller of customs,
00:12:11.66\00:12:13.73
we have Stanmore Avenue
Seventh-day Adventist Church,
00:12:13.76\00:12:16.93
the pastor, their pastor
Holder and the first elder.
00:12:16.97\00:12:20.40
We have booked
00:12:20.44\00:12:22.40
Seventh-day Adventist
Church Pastor [inaudible],
00:12:22.44\00:12:24.81
who has also help us
pull some of the books here
00:12:24.84\00:12:28.41
so we can also
prepare them as well.
00:12:28.44\00:12:30.75
And every weekend we
are doing approximately 15,
00:12:30.78\00:12:34.68
at least 10,000 of
those books that go out.
00:12:34.72\00:12:37.52
And people are coming
00:12:37.55\00:12:38.89
from as far as 50
miles to Port of Spain
00:12:38.92\00:12:42.42
and actually come in
just to prepare the books.
00:12:42.46\00:12:45.53
And we are stamping
the books with our website,
00:12:45.56\00:12:48.53
and our contact
information putting flyers in
00:12:48.56\00:12:51.43
and sealing the book.
00:12:51.47\00:12:52.80
And we are almost ready
00:12:52.83\00:12:54.50
to distribute
those into the community.
00:12:54.54\00:12:57.11
And there are so many ways
00:12:57.14\00:12:59.41
or options to
actually distribute the books.
00:12:59.44\00:13:02.24
So we asking that
the Holy Spirit gives us
00:13:02.28\00:13:04.35
the divine
guidance that they shall
00:13:04.38\00:13:05.98
goes into the
right hands to help
00:13:06.01\00:13:08.38
witness soul for Christ.
00:13:08.42\00:13:10.15
Wow! That's amazing, Rodney.
00:13:10.19\00:13:12.59
So you said that
entire truck of 100,000 books
00:13:12.62\00:13:15.76
was unloaded in 2
hours, is that correct?
00:13:15.79\00:13:19.39
Yes, it was really.
00:13:19.43\00:13:21.33
I expected four hours
00:13:21.36\00:13:23.00
because of the
challenging time that we're in.
00:13:23.03\00:13:26.30
And there's this one guy
who came from the beginning.
00:13:26.33\00:13:30.17
And he was there from
the beginning to the end
00:13:30.21\00:13:32.87
and he really helped us,
00:13:32.91\00:13:35.54
push those books
out of the container.
00:13:35.58\00:13:37.68
And it was just
so easy to see that.
00:13:37.71\00:13:39.95
I was wondering how
many was going to come up
00:13:39.98\00:13:42.88
'cause sometimes people who can
00:13:42.92\00:13:46.15
and then they're concerned
about COVID in the island,
00:13:46.19\00:13:50.43
and just keen and help.
00:13:50.46\00:13:52.69
So this weekend,
00:13:52.73\00:13:54.06
we also going to
prepare the books as well
00:13:54.10\00:13:58.13
and we have minimum
10,000 books prepared
00:13:58.17\00:14:02.47
and then send for
distribution as well.
00:14:02.50\00:14:05.77
And the volunteers come in
from this past weekend cordon
00:14:05.81\00:14:08.64
would like to thank the church,
Seventh-day Adventist Church.
00:14:08.68\00:14:12.61
There are so many
people who came both Sabbath
00:14:12.65\00:14:15.98
and Sunday and they came
00:14:16.02\00:14:18.32
and spent the
entire day with us here,
00:14:18.35\00:14:20.16
and prepared those books.
00:14:20.19\00:14:21.72
And it was just amazing to see.
00:14:21.76\00:14:23.76
And they, of course,
come back this Sabbath
00:14:23.79\00:14:25.99
with more people as well
00:14:26.03\00:14:27.40
and we'd love to
have more volunteers
00:14:27.43\00:14:29.56
who needed books prepared
00:14:29.60\00:14:31.73
and go out in the communities
as quick as possible.
00:14:31.77\00:14:34.40
Amen. That's amazing.
00:14:34.44\00:14:36.10
I think you have some pictures
00:14:36.14\00:14:37.47
'cause I took a
look at some of them.
00:14:37.51\00:14:38.84
I don't know if we can
start rolling these pictures now
00:14:38.87\00:14:40.81
from the control room and then,
Rodney, maybe you can tell us
00:14:40.84\00:14:43.45
what we're seeing as we
see that on the screen here.
00:14:43.48\00:14:45.75
This is you obviously.
00:14:45.78\00:14:47.12
This is unloading the semi? Yes.
00:14:47.15\00:14:49.92
So all these are preparation
and we keep going to the...
00:14:49.95\00:14:53.99
Yes, this is a gentleman here...
00:14:54.02\00:14:55.36
And this is
Stanmore Avenue Church.
00:14:55.39\00:14:57.76
Yeah, that's Stanmore
Seventh-day Adventist Church.
00:14:57.79\00:14:59.66
And these are just
00:14:59.69\00:15:01.03
some of the
volunteers at the end.
00:15:01.06\00:15:02.96
That's 10,000 books
the back of the volunteers
00:15:03.00\00:15:07.94
and these books
are from Tobago 15,000.
00:15:07.97\00:15:11.67
We have received those
books and it's been prepared
00:15:11.71\00:15:15.44
and distribute soon
00:15:15.48\00:15:16.85
in the island of Tobago as well.
00:15:16.88\00:15:19.05
And this is the
gentlemen in Tobago,
00:15:19.08\00:15:23.85
and Pastor Ishan Arjun and
Brother Andrews and myself.
00:15:23.89\00:15:28.72
We did 50,000 books
within half an hour,
00:15:28.76\00:15:32.59
a load of the
truck and faxed it both
00:15:32.63\00:15:35.86
and shipped it to Tobago.
00:15:35.90\00:15:37.23
This look like...
00:15:37.27\00:15:38.60
And these are some of
the work over the weekend.
00:15:38.63\00:15:41.77
Most of them is
00:15:41.80\00:15:43.71
from the Chester Lee
Seventh-day Adventist Church.
00:15:43.74\00:15:45.51
We have some of the
people from [inaudible].
00:15:45.54\00:15:51.51
And... Oh,
that's a great thought.
00:15:51.55\00:15:53.52
Yes. Yes. Yeah, I like that.
00:15:53.55\00:15:55.35
This weekend
people from Sangre Grande,
00:15:55.38\00:16:00.46
that's 50 miles
00:16:00.49\00:16:01.82
from where the
some of these churches.
00:16:01.86\00:16:04.39
Most of the
people there are from
00:16:04.43\00:16:06.53
Chester Lee
Seventh-day Adventist Church.
00:16:06.56\00:16:08.56
And we are preparing
the books right there
00:16:08.60\00:16:10.83
and we're going to
double that station
00:16:10.87\00:16:13.23
as the workstation do.
00:16:13.27\00:16:14.90
And after preparing books there,
00:16:14.94\00:16:18.57
then we go into
packets and then seal,
00:16:18.61\00:16:22.84
and then distribute from there.
00:16:22.88\00:16:24.35
So we have more stations
like that to distribute as well.
00:16:24.38\00:16:28.72
Well, you're an inspiration too.
00:16:28.75\00:16:30.29
So, Rodney, I tell
you, you're very good at
00:16:30.32\00:16:32.39
pulling a team
together by God's grace.
00:16:32.42\00:16:34.72
You know, these are going
out like the leaves of autumn.
00:16:34.76\00:16:37.06
And yeah, again,
thank you to you, Rodney.
00:16:37.09\00:16:39.86
You work tirelessly.
00:16:39.89\00:16:41.23
When we were there,
I don't think he slept.
00:16:41.26\00:16:43.97
May be an hour a
night or something.
00:16:44.00\00:16:45.53
Maybe hour. Yeah.
00:16:45.57\00:16:47.10
But then you have
00:16:47.14\00:16:48.47
a tremendous team
that's around you.
00:16:48.50\00:16:49.97
We appreciate, of course,
00:16:50.01\00:16:51.34
the support of the
conference, as well.
00:16:51.37\00:16:52.71
Yes, Elder Leslie
Moses... Absolutely.
00:16:52.74\00:16:54.81
Conference president there
00:16:54.84\00:16:56.18
for the South
Caribbean Conference
00:16:56.21\00:16:57.55
and that was great to
see Diamond Andrews as well.
00:16:57.58\00:16:59.71
And the books, 15,000 I
think he said going to Tobago.
00:16:59.75\00:17:02.45
Yeah, correct.
So praise the Lord.
00:17:02.48\00:17:03.85
And then also, yeah, and Tobago.
00:17:03.89\00:17:05.25
You're right.
Yeah. So what a blessing.
00:17:05.29\00:17:06.65
Yeah, we appreciate the
work that you're doing there,
00:17:06.69\00:17:09.39
Brother Rodney and
it's a blessing to actually
00:17:09.42\00:17:11.89
have the books now,
00:17:11.93\00:17:13.26
the Ten
Commandments Twice Removed books
00:17:13.29\00:17:14.86
out of the port
00:17:14.90\00:17:16.60
and actually into the
hands of the church members,
00:17:16.63\00:17:18.17
who are then going to start
the distribution really soon.
00:17:18.20\00:17:20.34
Thank you so much
00:17:20.37\00:17:21.70
for joining us
here tonight, Rodney.
00:17:21.74\00:17:24.07
Know that we love
our brothers and sisters,
00:17:24.11\00:17:26.71
there in Trinidad and Tobago,
00:17:26.74\00:17:28.61
and we're praying
for God's blessing
00:17:28.64\00:17:31.25
upon these books as
they are passed out.
00:17:31.28\00:17:32.61
Amen.
00:17:32.65\00:17:33.98
Do you have any
closing thoughts?
00:17:34.02\00:17:35.62
Yes, there's a couple of
things now it's three months
00:17:35.65\00:17:38.62
since you were in the
island of Trinidad and Tobago,
00:17:38.65\00:17:40.79
and people are still
talking about that event.
00:17:40.82\00:17:43.19
And it's going to be
00:17:43.22\00:17:44.66
our memories for a
very, very long time.
00:17:44.69\00:17:47.13
You've made an
impression on people's lives
00:17:47.16\00:17:49.06
and people's thoughts,
watch you on TV and listen
00:17:49.10\00:17:52.20
and people are still
talking about how amazing
00:17:52.23\00:17:56.94
or what 3ABN does
and then to see in person
00:17:56.97\00:17:59.61
and to meet everyone
and you share your stories,
00:17:59.64\00:18:01.81
it helps them
connect with 3ABN more.
00:18:01.84\00:18:04.95
And they have
much more work to do.
00:18:04.98\00:18:06.92
We would love to have
00:18:06.95\00:18:08.28
more quarter fit
containers actually,
00:18:08.32\00:18:11.35
in our island,
through sponsorship.
00:18:11.39\00:18:14.32
We have many more books.
00:18:14.36\00:18:16.19
I could call numbers
that people must call.
00:18:16.22\00:18:18.39
But we could have a
few containers with books
00:18:18.43\00:18:21.83
and a whole lot
more things that happen.
00:18:21.86\00:18:25.03
By God's grace,
00:18:25.07\00:18:26.43
He's making things
happen in our island,
00:18:26.47\00:18:28.30
and I thank everyone
for the tremendous support.
00:18:28.34\00:18:31.04
And we thank
you, 3ABN for given us
00:18:31.07\00:18:33.68
all the opportunity to
reach people in our island.
00:18:33.71\00:18:37.61
Amen. Amen.
00:18:37.65\00:18:38.98
Thank you, Brother Rodney.
Have a wonderful evening.
00:18:39.01\00:18:41.35
Thank you for being, of
course, part of our family.
00:18:41.38\00:18:43.32
And thank you again
for all the hard work
00:18:43.35\00:18:44.72
you're doing there
in Trinidad and Tobago.
00:18:44.75\00:18:46.55
Have a great night.
Thank you, Greg and Jill.
00:18:46.59\00:18:48.16
And special thanks,
as you mentioned before,
00:18:48.19\00:18:50.13
to those people who donate,
00:18:50.16\00:18:51.86
who sponsor
these special projects
00:18:51.89\00:18:54.06
in order to get the
gospel to Trinidad and Tobago.
00:18:54.10\00:18:58.03
Or I think we heard
from Ambassador Ben Tahano.
00:18:58.07\00:19:01.24
Ten Commandments
Twice Removed books
00:19:03.97\00:19:05.34
were shipped to the Philippines
and they have arrived.
00:19:05.37\00:19:07.21
Yes.
00:19:07.24\00:19:08.58
that went to Papua New Guinea.
00:19:08.61\00:19:11.38
Yes, Ambassador Ben Tahano sent
a couple of pictures through.
00:19:11.41\00:19:14.58
We can just put
those up now too,
00:19:14.62\00:19:15.95
because the books
just like they arrived
00:19:15.98\00:19:17.45
in Trinidad and
Tobago, we have the books,
00:19:17.49\00:19:20.06
like you said,
arrived in the Philippines,
00:19:20.09\00:19:22.39
and Papua New Guinea,
00:19:22.42\00:19:23.76
and they were sending
pictures through WhatsApp to us.
00:19:23.79\00:19:26.96
Ambassador Ben Tahano,
00:19:27.00\00:19:28.33
longtime friend,
of course, of 3ABN.
00:19:28.36\00:19:29.70
And there's the container.
00:19:29.73\00:19:31.07
There's 100,000
books in that container.
00:19:31.10\00:19:33.23
They're being hand
taken off or hand them...
00:19:33.27\00:19:36.40
Well, yeah, you could
say taken off that container.
00:19:36.44\00:19:38.01
I mean, it's incredible.
00:19:38.04\00:19:39.37
That's a lot of
work and it's hot.
00:19:39.41\00:19:40.74
They're loading
them into pickup trucks.
00:19:40.78\00:19:42.54
You know what's inspiring to me,
00:19:42.58\00:19:43.91
it's just
people that are on fire
00:19:43.95\00:19:45.28
for evangelism.
00:19:45.31\00:19:46.65
And again, people not only doing
00:19:46.68\00:19:48.68
all the
distributing of the books,
00:19:48.72\00:19:50.29
but those like you mentioned
that are stepping forward
00:19:50.32\00:19:53.22
and giving the
donations to actually make
00:19:53.25\00:19:55.39
this absolutely possible.
00:19:55.42\00:19:56.93
Like you said,
we just are thankful
00:19:56.96\00:19:58.69
to a couple of the large donors
00:19:58.73\00:20:00.06
that step forward for
this incredible project.
00:20:00.10\00:20:02.80
I want to just read this
00:20:02.83\00:20:04.27
'cause we get so much
mail here through 3ABN.
00:20:04.30\00:20:07.17
And we keep encouraging
you to reach out to us,
00:20:07.20\00:20:10.17
because you're
part of our family.
00:20:10.21\00:20:11.71
And I just wanted to read
this because this pertains
00:20:11.74\00:20:13.21
to the Ten
Commandments Twice Removed book.
00:20:13.24\00:20:15.38
This just came across our
desk just this week, says,
00:20:15.41\00:20:18.88
"My name is Joseph.
00:20:18.91\00:20:20.52
And I read your book Ten
Commandments Twice Removed
00:20:20.55\00:20:23.79
by Danny Shelton
and Shelley Quinn.
00:20:23.82\00:20:27.19
It was a great book. And
now I am a Sabbath keeper."
00:20:27.22\00:20:31.99
This letter just
came through this week.
00:20:32.03\00:20:34.16
So this is recent, okay?
00:20:34.20\00:20:35.53
So, "Now I am a Sabbath keeper,"
00:20:35.56\00:20:36.90
now get this.
00:20:36.93\00:20:38.27
"Now I'm teaching other people
about keeping the Sabbath day
00:20:38.30\00:20:41.30
and keeping the
right Sabbath day.
00:20:41.34\00:20:43.30
I want to thank you
for writing the book."
00:20:43.34\00:20:46.14
Praise the Lord!
00:20:46.17\00:20:49.21
Thank you for your
support of the Ministry of 3ABN.
00:20:49.24\00:20:51.58
You're making a difference
in people's lives like
00:20:51.61\00:20:53.98
this gentleman here
by the name of Joseph.
00:20:54.02\00:20:56.02
Wasn't that encouraging? Amen.
00:20:56.05\00:20:57.39
It is. Oh, yeah.
00:20:57.42\00:20:58.75
I'm always
excited to hear from you
00:20:58.79\00:21:00.12
and to see how the Lord
is blessing in your life.
00:21:00.16\00:21:02.62
Amen. Absolutely.
00:21:02.66\00:21:04.36
Jay, let's go to 3ABN Radio
and tell us some of the things
00:21:04.39\00:21:09.20
that are happening
there, new programs,
00:21:09.23\00:21:11.23
things that are going
on and some blessings.
00:21:11.27\00:21:12.90
So the first
thing I want to say is,
00:21:12.93\00:21:15.60
in the whole time
that I've been here
00:21:15.64\00:21:17.14
we've had the same
attitude about 3ABN Radio
00:21:17.17\00:21:19.77
and it's evangelistic.
00:21:19.81\00:21:21.14
Amen.
00:21:21.18\00:21:22.51
A lot of the things that
00:21:22.54\00:21:23.88
I'm going to
mention and talk about,
00:21:23.91\00:21:25.25
you might scratch
your heads to say,
00:21:25.28\00:21:27.65
how is that evangelistic?
00:21:27.68\00:21:29.02
Well, it all
works together. It does.
00:21:29.05\00:21:30.62
Everything is like
this, and it meshes together.
00:21:30.65\00:21:33.69
And we can't do some things
00:21:33.72\00:21:35.62
without some of
the other things.
00:21:35.66\00:21:37.86
And so evangelism is
in the heart of everybody
00:21:37.89\00:21:42.23
at 3ABN Radio,
everybody at 3ABN.
00:21:42.26\00:21:45.17
I'm speaking about 3ABN Radio.
So we have some new programs.
00:21:45.20\00:21:50.27
We had a period there,
00:21:50.31\00:21:52.37
where we moved our studios here.
00:21:52.41\00:21:55.91
And during the time the
studios were being built,
00:21:55.94\00:21:59.01
we were in temporary quarters
and we couldn't do anything.
00:21:59.05\00:22:02.42
And now we are
making our own programs
00:22:02.45\00:22:04.59
and moving forward.
00:22:04.62\00:22:06.45
We've added a few new programs
00:22:06.49\00:22:07.89
from other
ministries in that time.
00:22:07.92\00:22:09.69
But as far as
doing our own programs,
00:22:09.72\00:22:11.73
one of the programs
that we added this year,
00:22:11.76\00:22:16.53
just a few months ago,
00:22:16.56\00:22:18.90
is natural
remedies for good health.
00:22:18.93\00:22:22.07
Oh, wow. And...
00:22:22.10\00:22:24.11
How timely! Yes.
00:22:24.14\00:22:25.64
Right, with the
COVID-19 going on.
00:22:25.67\00:22:27.98
Yeah. Yeah. What a blessing!
00:22:28.01\00:22:29.34
It was recorded
just before COVID-19,
00:22:29.38\00:22:32.35
but a lot of these things
will certainly fit within that
00:22:32.38\00:22:36.05
and help the people
with their desire to be
00:22:36.08\00:22:40.36
healthful,
healthy, healthful lifestyle
00:22:40.39\00:22:44.43
and do things
that can help them,
00:22:44.46\00:22:47.86
maybe even keep from
getting the Coronavirus
00:22:47.90\00:22:50.93
or anything else.
00:22:50.97\00:22:52.33
The idea is to be
healthy as long as we can.
00:22:52.37\00:22:56.10
Linda and Eddie
Clark are doing it.
00:22:56.14\00:22:57.57
And Linda is the one who
is trained in all of this.
00:22:57.61\00:23:04.25
And I did the
editing of the programs
00:23:04.28\00:23:07.52
and listen to them.
00:23:07.55\00:23:08.88
And I was thinking, "Wow,"
you know, she knows a lot.
00:23:08.92\00:23:13.96
And her husband was there
to support her and to help her.
00:23:13.99\00:23:16.29
He'd asked questions,
00:23:16.32\00:23:17.66
make sure things were clarified.
00:23:17.69\00:23:19.49
But when it came to the remedies
00:23:19.53\00:23:21.16
and everything
like that, it was Linda.
00:23:21.20\00:23:23.77
And we can tell when
people like the program
00:23:23.80\00:23:27.00
because the first week it
was on we got four phone calls.
00:23:27.04\00:23:30.81
Now, you would think,
"Well, that, you know,
00:23:30.84\00:23:33.27
shouldn't you have
thousands of phone calls?"
00:23:33.31\00:23:35.38
It's amazing.
00:23:35.41\00:23:36.75
But people, when
we put on the air
00:23:36.78\00:23:41.52
new programs or whatever,
00:23:41.55\00:23:43.49
it take a while for
people to be able to see,
00:23:43.52\00:23:46.65
to hear them and I
almost fell into the TV.
00:23:46.69\00:23:51.56
Yes.
00:23:51.59\00:23:52.93
And it takes a
while to hear them.
00:23:52.96\00:23:54.90
And then for them to
react or for somebody to say
00:23:54.93\00:23:57.70
something that
gets their attention
00:23:57.73\00:23:59.83
and just like that.
00:23:59.87\00:24:01.44
And we always say one phone call
00:24:01.47\00:24:03.30
or one letter would equal,
maybe 300 people or whatever.
00:24:03.34\00:24:05.74
Oh, yeah.
00:24:05.77\00:24:07.11
Or more than that who
would feel the same way
00:24:07.14\00:24:09.11
and just didn't take the
time to call in or write.
00:24:09.14\00:24:11.48
So, absolutely.
00:24:11.51\00:24:12.85
And so it's an excellent program
00:24:12.88\00:24:14.58
because it's natural remedies.
00:24:14.62\00:24:18.05
I mean, it's
using the natural ways.
00:24:18.09\00:24:20.72
And, you know, if people need
to use medication, that's fine.
00:24:20.76\00:24:25.16
I do a little
bit of both myself,
00:24:25.19\00:24:27.40
you know, with my challenge.
00:24:27.43\00:24:29.70
I do take very small amount
of chemotherapy right now,
00:24:29.73\00:24:33.77
but I'm also trying to
eat as healthfully as I can
00:24:33.80\00:24:37.24
and do things like that.
00:24:37.27\00:24:38.84
Sometimes they do
better than other times.
00:24:38.87\00:24:41.64
But in any case,
00:24:41.68\00:24:43.01
so some people
may want to do that,
00:24:43.04\00:24:44.38
other people go 100% health,
00:24:44.41\00:24:46.78
whatever it is, it's
an excellent program.
00:24:46.82\00:24:49.88
And so we're
really pleased to have it.
00:24:49.92\00:24:52.45
Another program that we have
that we've just started here,
00:24:52.49\00:24:56.62
within the last month or
two is Kids Time radio version.
00:24:56.66\00:25:01.93
Oh, wow! Yay!
00:25:01.96\00:25:04.03
It can be a very
visual type of program
00:25:04.07\00:25:07.64
with kids running
around cute as they are.
00:25:07.67\00:25:09.47
You can't see them on radio.
And doing things like that.
00:25:09.50\00:25:13.14
And so we've gotten
together with Aunty Francine.
00:25:13.17\00:25:17.01
All right, yeah. Yes.
00:25:17.05\00:25:18.41
And so we're working with her,
00:25:18.45\00:25:21.08
putting together a special
15-minute program for the kids,
00:25:21.12\00:25:24.72
telling stories
and Bible stories,
00:25:24.75\00:25:27.42
and personal stories
that uplift the Lord.
00:25:27.46\00:25:30.09
And should be
on the second hour,
00:25:30.13\00:25:31.46
so we'll get to hear
something about that too.
00:25:31.49\00:25:32.83
And so you can
hear about it twice.
00:25:32.86\00:25:34.20
Yeah, we just could.
00:25:34.23\00:25:35.56
Yeah, from our perspective,
and then from her perspective.
00:25:35.60\00:25:40.04
But in any case,
the evangelism part
00:25:40.07\00:25:43.97
is the more you can
get children listening,
00:25:44.01\00:25:48.34
the more they can hear,
00:25:48.38\00:25:49.71
the more
they're drawn to Christ.
00:25:49.74\00:25:51.61
And sometimes in the background,
00:25:51.65\00:25:53.65
mommy and daddy
are listening as well.
00:25:53.68\00:25:56.42
And so they can hear and
learn some of these things also.
00:25:56.45\00:25:59.99
So those are just a
couple of new programs
00:26:00.02\00:26:02.76
that we've been doing.
00:26:02.79\00:26:04.66
For the last couple of months,
00:26:04.69\00:26:06.76
I mentioned that
we're having new studios.
00:26:06.80\00:26:08.40
We're also
building a new database
00:26:08.43\00:26:10.10
and a scheduling program.
00:26:10.13\00:26:11.83
So with all of that
working together, you know,
00:26:11.87\00:26:14.67
it's been kind of hectic
at different times in there.
00:26:14.70\00:26:18.01
But the system
that we had, and again,
00:26:18.04\00:26:20.54
this is a support
system that helps to take
00:26:20.58\00:26:23.35
our evangelistic
programs to the world.
00:26:23.38\00:26:27.22
But the system we were
using was like 20 years old.
00:26:27.25\00:26:32.29
And 20 years is like a
couple of centuries ago.
00:26:32.32\00:26:35.92
Oh, yeah.
00:26:35.96\00:26:37.29
Normal period in electronics
for normal people like us,
00:26:37.33\00:26:40.83
it's, you know, like a
couple hundred years old,
00:26:40.86\00:26:42.76
so pulling up in a
horse and buggy, you know,
00:26:42.80\00:26:45.10
and somebody else
drives up in a big sports car
00:26:45.13\00:26:47.64
or something like that
and that's the difference.
00:26:47.67\00:26:49.70
And so, we developed it on site,
00:26:49.74\00:26:53.11
and we worked on it.
00:26:53.14\00:26:54.48
And, you know,
we're testing this
00:26:54.51\00:26:55.91
and testing that.
00:26:55.94\00:26:57.28
And now we're using
it and it's mostly100%,
00:26:57.31\00:27:01.08
is real close to
being 100%, ready to go.
00:27:01.12\00:27:04.05
So we're really
excited about that.
00:27:04.09\00:27:06.55
Jay, how many
affiliates do we have?
00:27:06.59\00:27:08.66
And I'm putting you
on the spot right here,
00:27:08.69\00:27:10.03
of course, we have
a 95.9 at Du Quoin.
00:27:10.06\00:27:11.89
Yes.
00:27:11.93\00:27:13.26
3ABN Radio is right
here but do you know
00:27:13.29\00:27:14.63
how many we have approximately
when I say the world?
00:27:14.66\00:27:17.07
Well, you know,
sometimes some come
00:27:17.10\00:27:19.27
and some go, and so forth.
00:27:19.30\00:27:21.24
But to be safe, we say over 300.
00:27:21.27\00:27:25.04
The last time we
checked, it was more than 350.
00:27:25.07\00:27:28.68
But... That's amazing.
00:27:28.71\00:27:30.18
Yeah, a lot of
them are in America.
00:27:30.21\00:27:31.78
A lot of them are in Australia
and in New Zealand as well.
00:27:31.81\00:27:36.25
And the people in Australia
00:27:36.28\00:27:38.09
and New Zealand are very active.
00:27:38.12\00:27:40.32
So we get
emails, we get comments,
00:27:40.36\00:27:43.16
and so forth questions,
00:27:43.19\00:27:45.96
maybe a
complaint or two every now
00:27:45.99\00:27:48.06
and then which can happen.
00:27:48.10\00:27:49.66
Suggestions are good
because then we think
00:27:49.70\00:27:51.83
this how I can grow
00:27:51.87\00:27:53.20
or this is something
that I should consider.
00:27:53.23\00:27:54.57
So beside, listening to
3ABN Radio on affiliates,
00:27:54.60\00:27:59.57
which if it's
in your local area,
00:27:59.61\00:28:00.94
that's wonderful.
00:28:00.98\00:28:02.61
You can also listen to it
on the app as well, right?
00:28:02.64\00:28:04.41
Yes, all right.
00:28:04.45\00:28:05.78
I can just go to my 3ABN
app right here on my phone.
00:28:05.81\00:28:09.38
And then we have
all the television here,
00:28:09.42\00:28:11.12
I don't know if
you can see that.
00:28:11.15\00:28:12.55
And then I can click Radio.
00:28:12.59\00:28:13.99
And then it goes
00:28:14.02\00:28:15.36
to all the radio as
well, which is amazing.
00:28:15.39\00:28:17.53
And then you can listen to
any one of them at any time.
00:28:17.56\00:28:20.73
And you can look at
our schedules on there too,
00:28:20.76\00:28:22.83
both for TV and now for radio.
00:28:22.86\00:28:24.73
Radio, our scheduling system,
00:28:24.77\00:28:28.20
left a lot to be
desired with the old program.
00:28:28.24\00:28:31.27
And so with this new
system that we've got,
00:28:31.31\00:28:35.14
there's a lot more information,
00:28:35.18\00:28:36.68
still a few things
to work out in there,
00:28:36.71\00:28:39.48
but if somebody
looks at it right now
00:28:39.51\00:28:41.88
and looked at the old
system, and now looks at this,
00:28:41.92\00:28:44.55
there's a lot more information,
it's lot better for them.
00:28:44.59\00:28:47.16
So if someone is listening
and they hear a program,
00:28:47.19\00:28:52.69
they say, "I
wonder who that is."
00:28:52.73\00:28:55.43
They can go on,
they can check the...
00:28:55.46\00:28:57.17
The schedule. Schedule.
00:28:57.20\00:28:59.90
Schedule in the app.
00:28:59.93\00:29:01.64
And find out who it is
or the name of the program.
00:29:01.67\00:29:04.17
Often we get phone calls,
00:29:04.21\00:29:05.54
"I want to have a
copy of that program."
00:29:05.57\00:29:06.91
And it is, you know,
00:29:06.94\00:29:09.11
and they'll give us
the little name of it.
00:29:09.14\00:29:12.18
"What we schedule it by?"
00:29:12.21\00:29:13.75
And so we know
they've been at our schedule.
00:29:13.78\00:29:16.82
Yeah, that's great.
00:29:16.85\00:29:18.19
I'm sure you're getting
some testimonies, right, Jay,
00:29:18.22\00:29:19.95
'cause, you know, we
love to hear testimonies of,
00:29:19.99\00:29:22.02
you know, 'cause we talked about
00:29:22.06\00:29:23.39
350 plus or minus affiliates.
00:29:23.43\00:29:27.06
But that's not individuals,
because that footprint,
00:29:27.10\00:29:29.56
what we call a footprint
is how far out it reaches.
00:29:29.60\00:29:33.00
And so the amount of people,
00:29:33.03\00:29:34.47
it's a
tremendous amount of people
00:29:34.50\00:29:36.07
that is potentially reaching.
00:29:36.10\00:29:37.44
Yes, it is.
00:29:37.47\00:29:38.81
And we have affiliates that,
00:29:38.84\00:29:41.51
radio stations
that are broadcasting
00:29:41.54\00:29:43.71
to small communities.
00:29:43.75\00:29:45.21
We have affiliates that are
00:29:45.25\00:29:46.58
broadcasting to
larger communities.
00:29:46.61\00:29:49.08
And sometimes their signal
00:29:49.12\00:29:50.72
might be in a
fairly large community,
00:29:50.75\00:29:53.86
and it might cover part
of it, but not all of it,
00:29:53.89\00:29:57.76
but the people are
a little more packed
00:29:57.79\00:29:59.23
and so then you get
some more people as well.
00:29:59.26\00:30:01.66
So we're real pleased
00:30:01.70\00:30:03.30
with our radio
station affiliates.
00:30:03.33\00:30:04.67
Amen. Yeah.
00:30:04.70\00:30:06.03
So many
testimonies that are coming
00:30:06.07\00:30:07.40
from some of those affiliates
are from here, locally...
00:30:07.44\00:30:09.74
Listeners. Oh, listeners.
00:30:09.77\00:30:11.11
Yeah. Well, ah, oh...
00:30:11.14\00:30:12.61
Thank you, babe.
00:30:12.64\00:30:16.58
I will say that in the time
00:30:16.61\00:30:20.48
at church,
00:30:20.52\00:30:23.82
people come in at our
Thompsonville Church...
00:30:23.85\00:30:26.92
Just here locally?
People come and visit locally.
00:30:26.96\00:30:29.32
They would come in...
00:30:29.36\00:30:30.69
And when we first got
here, when we first moved here,
00:30:30.73\00:30:33.19
20 some years ago, "Oh,
you know, we watch on TV."
00:30:33.23\00:30:36.43
We've had more people
00:30:36.46\00:30:37.80
in the last few
years come in and say,
00:30:37.83\00:30:40.04
"I've been listening on radio."
00:30:40.07\00:30:42.04
And there's
flipping through the dial,
00:30:42.07\00:30:45.51
sign in front of the church
promotes 3ABN Radio as well,
00:30:45.54\00:30:51.51
locally, so people
can see that and tune in.
00:30:51.55\00:30:54.48
I know that there's a couple
00:30:54.52\00:30:56.99
that's now a
member of our church,
00:30:57.02\00:30:59.49
members of our
church, that liked 3ABN Radio,
00:30:59.52\00:31:03.93
but every time we got
it on the Sabbath issue,
00:31:03.96\00:31:06.43
and they turn it off.
00:31:06.46\00:31:08.13
They say, "Why do they
have to talk about that?
00:31:08.16\00:31:09.96
I know that's not right."
00:31:10.00\00:31:11.80
And finally, the husband
and wife got together and said,
00:31:11.83\00:31:14.54
"You know, we like so much,
00:31:14.57\00:31:17.24
so many of the other
programs we like them so much,
00:31:17.27\00:31:20.11
that maybe we
ought to investigate it."
00:31:20.14\00:31:24.35
And so they did.
They investigated it.
00:31:24.38\00:31:26.82
They went through Bible studies.
00:31:26.85\00:31:28.95
And they said,
"Wow, you're right.
00:31:28.98\00:31:31.35
We want to join."
00:31:31.39\00:31:32.72
And so they're
members of our church today
00:31:32.75\00:31:34.89
and praise God for that.
00:31:34.92\00:31:37.33
Yeah, those are
powerful testimonies.
00:31:37.36\00:31:38.69
I know that 3ABN Radio
00:31:38.73\00:31:40.43
is in some farming
communities too, Jay.
00:31:40.46\00:31:42.60
And someone reached
out to 3ABN mentioning that
00:31:42.63\00:31:45.90
they were in their tractor
and their tractor has a radio.
00:31:45.93\00:31:49.27
And so they were
out plowing their field,
00:31:49.30\00:31:51.67
and they were just
scanning the channels
00:31:51.71\00:31:53.34
and while they were
out, I mean, you know,
00:31:53.38\00:31:55.11
of course, these big farms,
they're out there all day long.
00:31:55.14\00:31:57.45
They were getting 3ABN Radio
00:31:57.48\00:31:59.41
wherever this
was in their tractor.
00:31:59.45\00:32:01.65
They haven't become
Seventh-day Adventist,
00:32:01.68\00:32:03.02
but they're just
reaching out saying,
00:32:03.05\00:32:04.39
"Hey, wow, we're very interested
00:32:04.42\00:32:05.75
in what we're
hearing these truths
00:32:05.79\00:32:07.16
that are found in the Bible."
00:32:07.19\00:32:08.52
You know, Jay,
that warms your heart,
00:32:08.56\00:32:09.89
doesn't it, you know,
with what you're doing?
00:32:09.92\00:32:11.26
It does. It does.
00:32:11.29\00:32:12.63
And talking about
affiliates, after we started
00:32:12.66\00:32:16.23
the special programming
for the COVID-19, and so forth,
00:32:16.26\00:32:19.77
one of our affiliate
station operators called.
00:32:19.80\00:32:23.30
It was just a few days ago.
00:32:23.34\00:32:24.67
Actually, he heard a
program on the radio,
00:32:24.71\00:32:28.11
and he said that it was
just perfect for these times
00:32:28.14\00:32:31.88
that we're going through.
00:32:31.91\00:32:33.38
Now we're talking
some about COVID-19.
00:32:33.42\00:32:36.08
But we're also talking about
00:32:36.12\00:32:39.29
what some of this stuff,
the end times are approaching.
00:32:39.32\00:32:43.86
And some of these signs for that
00:32:43.89\00:32:45.46
and a lot of
people need to hear that.
00:32:45.49\00:32:47.00
You know, we know
that during the end times
00:32:47.03\00:32:50.63
that they're
going to be pandemics.
00:32:50.67\00:32:53.27
We know that. And guess what?
00:32:53.30\00:32:55.80
And this is
probably you hear people
00:32:55.84\00:32:58.47
talking about it
in different ways.
00:32:58.51\00:33:01.28
Whether it's a big pandemic
or whether it's not so bad
00:33:01.31\00:33:04.81
or whatever, but I know that
00:33:04.85\00:33:06.55
there are a lot
of unusual things
00:33:06.58\00:33:08.95
about this disease, COVID-19.
00:33:08.98\00:33:12.65
And this has people's interest.
00:33:12.69\00:33:15.92
And so when we
start telling them, "Yes,
00:33:15.96\00:33:17.86
and this is a sign of the time,
00:33:17.89\00:33:19.39
and this is why,"
they're listening.
00:33:19.43\00:33:21.76
Oh, yeah.
They're open to it. Yeah.
00:33:21.80\00:33:23.87
So and he told us that
not only just that program,
00:33:23.90\00:33:27.90
but he's very happy
with our programming as well.
00:33:27.94\00:33:30.24
Amen. Amen. So praise God.
00:33:30.27\00:33:32.11
Thank you for
what you're doing, Jay.
00:33:32.14\00:33:33.48
You and your team
there, 3ABN Radio, it's really,
00:33:33.51\00:33:36.95
like he's mentioning
3ABN Radio moved here.
00:33:36.98\00:33:39.35
It was at the
original uplink building.
00:33:39.38\00:33:40.72
Yes, right.
00:33:40.75\00:33:42.08
And so we build studios here,
00:33:42.12\00:33:43.45
those are up and going
now, you know, in the process.
00:33:43.49\00:33:46.12
And so wow, it's just, I mean,
00:33:46.15\00:33:47.52
what a powerful
tool 3ABN Radio is.
00:33:47.56\00:33:50.53
It is absolutely.
00:33:50.56\00:33:51.89
Speaking of COVID-19,
00:33:51.93\00:33:53.26
it made me think
of this little booklet
00:33:53.29\00:33:54.63
that you hear that Hor Hedges
brought out, After COVID-19:
00:33:54.66\00:33:58.10
What's Next?
00:33:58.13\00:33:59.47
We've been talking about
this the last several weeks,
00:33:59.50\00:34:02.44
and we've been
receiving responses
00:34:02.47\00:34:05.04
from people who
have just received it
00:34:05.07\00:34:07.88
in their mailbox,
people writing in,
00:34:07.91\00:34:10.01
people calling in, saying,
00:34:10.05\00:34:11.58
"I just read this
and what a blessing
00:34:11.61\00:34:13.92
it has been in my life!"
00:34:13.95\00:34:16.18
Or "I want more information."
00:34:16.22\00:34:18.39
So if you are interested
in sponsoring a zip code
00:34:18.42\00:34:23.29
in your
community of this booklet
00:34:23.32\00:34:25.39
After COVID-19: What's Next?
00:34:25.43\00:34:27.40
And it really answers
some of those basic questions,
00:34:27.43\00:34:29.66
where is God in
the midst of pain,
00:34:29.70\00:34:31.83
in the midst of
tragedy, and it does a wonderful
00:34:31.87\00:34:34.70
comparison of the virus as
it were to the virus of sin
00:34:34.74\00:34:39.71
and how we all are
in need of a savior.
00:34:39.74\00:34:42.64
So it's really the
gospel in just a little booklet.
00:34:42.68\00:34:45.75
So you can give us a call at
00:34:45.78\00:34:47.48
(618)-627-4651
00:34:47.52\00:34:51.39
or you can email us
at Live, L-I-V-E@3abn.tv.
00:34:51.42\00:34:57.69
For just 40 cents
00:34:57.73\00:34:59.26
for one of these booklets
you can pay for the printing
00:34:59.29\00:35:02.66
and the postage cost
for one of these booklets.
00:35:02.70\00:35:05.90
Wow, 40 cents? Forty cents.
00:35:05.93\00:35:07.37
Less than the cost of a stamp
to sponsor an evangelistic tool
00:35:07.40\00:35:10.94
in your community, so.
00:35:10.97\00:35:12.31
It's really amazing.
00:35:12.34\00:35:13.68
And again, we're just sharing
these are prayers reports,
00:35:13.71\00:35:16.64
of course, we're
talking about departmental.
00:35:16.68\00:35:18.01
We're giving
departmental reports,
00:35:18.05\00:35:19.81
but also just sharing
what God is doing right now.
00:35:19.85\00:35:23.35
God is alive and well.
00:35:23.39\00:35:24.79
There are people that
are searching for truth.
00:35:24.82\00:35:27.12
And as this, as
you're mentioning,
00:35:27.16\00:35:28.49
like this
COVID-19 little pamphlet
00:35:28.52\00:35:30.43
is being sent out into the mail.
00:35:30.46\00:35:32.33
It's in people's
homes, of course,
00:35:32.36\00:35:33.70
everyone is
wondering, what's next.
00:35:33.73\00:35:36.00
So After COVID-19: What's Next?
00:35:36.03\00:35:38.60
And the truth is being
shared in this little booklet.
00:35:38.63\00:35:40.94
And again, I was
talking about mail earlier,
00:35:40.97\00:35:42.30
if you don't mind, do you mind?
00:35:42.34\00:35:43.81
I'm gonna read
another little letter
00:35:43.84\00:35:45.17
because this is
pertaining to this booklet.
00:35:45.21\00:35:48.21
"My name is Kathy.
My son's name is Ryan.
00:35:48.24\00:35:51.01
We are not
Seventh-day Adventists,
00:35:51.05\00:35:53.98
but we really like to watch
3ABN network here in Oklahoma."
00:35:54.02\00:35:57.59
They're talking
about how they enjoy 3ABN
00:35:57.62\00:35:59.65
that they found and they said,
00:35:59.69\00:36:01.02
"I want to thank you
for the booklet COVID-19:
00:36:01.06\00:36:04.26
What's Next?
00:36:04.29\00:36:05.63
that we received."
00:36:05.66\00:36:07.33
Amen. Praise the Lord.
00:36:07.36\00:36:08.70
So here's someone
that's already reaching out
00:36:08.73\00:36:10.20
to us finding
truth, so excited about
00:36:10.23\00:36:13.10
what they're
finding in the Bible.
00:36:13.13\00:36:15.00
So, I mean, like you said,
00:36:15.04\00:36:16.37
what an incredible
witnessing opportunity.
00:36:16.40\00:36:18.67
Things are happening,
00:36:18.71\00:36:20.04
things are
wrapping up in this world.
00:36:20.08\00:36:21.84
But we have great hope,
right, as Danny always says.
00:36:21.88\00:36:24.78
We've read the back of the book.
00:36:24.81\00:36:26.35
We know that Christ has
won, Satan has been defeated.
00:36:26.38\00:36:30.09
But we have a work to do.
00:36:30.12\00:36:31.45
We can't just sit
back and do nothing.
00:36:31.49\00:36:33.52
So God is
providing these opportunities
00:36:33.56\00:36:35.06
even in all this tragedy
00:36:35.09\00:36:36.42
and the
pandemics and other things
00:36:36.46\00:36:37.79
that are going on in
this world, in this nation.
00:36:37.83\00:36:39.16
Yes. Yes.
00:36:39.19\00:36:40.53
Right now, I just
received a text, Praise Lord,
00:36:40.56\00:36:43.57
we still have all
this communication
00:36:43.60\00:36:45.03
that John Dinzey,
shall we go to him?
00:36:45.07\00:36:46.84
Okay. He's ready.
00:36:46.87\00:36:48.20
He's on Skype as well.
00:36:48.24\00:36:49.57
Pastor John Dinzey,
00:36:49.60\00:36:50.94
he's the general
manager of 3ABN Latino Network.
00:36:50.97\00:36:52.31
That's right. He
cannot be here on site.
00:36:52.34\00:36:54.38
He's off site right now,
00:36:54.41\00:36:55.81
but he's joining us
via Skype right now.
00:36:55.84\00:36:58.35
Pastor John
Dinzey, are you there, sir?
00:36:58.38\00:37:00.35
Yes, I am. All right.
00:37:00.38\00:37:02.45
That's great. You're in the...
00:37:02.48\00:37:04.09
Oh, I can see
you. Oh, there we go.
00:37:04.12\00:37:05.75
Hi, Pastor Johnny. Hello.
00:37:05.79\00:37:08.89
So tell us an update on
what the Lord is doing in
00:37:08.92\00:37:13.13
and through the
Ministry of 3ABN Latino?
00:37:13.16\00:37:18.43
Well, we're excited,
00:37:18.47\00:37:19.80
I heard you
talking about the COVID-19.
00:37:19.83\00:37:21.80
And we are excited that
00:37:21.84\00:37:23.67
the 500,000
Spanish COVID-19 books
00:37:23.71\00:37:28.41
have been printed.
00:37:28.44\00:37:29.78
We praise the Lord
for that. Praise God.
00:37:29.81\00:37:31.55
And we already have
people ordering boxes
00:37:31.58\00:37:34.68
of the books to distribute.
00:37:34.72\00:37:36.89
And it's exciting to
see people responding.
00:37:36.92\00:37:40.69
And we want to get these books
into the hands of the people.
00:37:40.72\00:37:43.93
So this is another avenue
by which we can reach people.
00:37:43.96\00:37:48.26
And we're just blessed to see
00:37:48.30\00:37:50.90
this opportunity for evangelism.
00:37:50.93\00:37:53.74
And like you said,
people need this book
00:37:53.77\00:37:57.01
into their hands
because this has the gospel.
00:37:57.04\00:38:01.18
And the people that have
helped to print the book there,
00:38:01.21\00:38:05.18
you're helping to
spread the gospel,
00:38:05.21\00:38:06.98
so praise God for that.
00:38:07.02\00:38:09.08
And this helps bring
about the soon return of
00:38:09.12\00:38:12.49
our Lord and
Savior Jesus Christ.
00:38:12.52\00:38:14.42
And so we are just
excited about this.
00:38:14.46\00:38:18.83
And 3ABN Latino
during this COVID-19,
00:38:18.86\00:38:21.56
we had to make
some modifications
00:38:21.60\00:38:23.83
in our programming,
00:38:23.87\00:38:25.23
so that we can
still minister to people.
00:38:25.27\00:38:29.87
We, of course, could
not invite people like
00:38:29.90\00:38:33.01
our 3ABN Parent
Network or the other network.
00:38:33.04\00:38:35.14
So we have been connected
with people through Skype,
00:38:35.18\00:38:38.31
and they have
been sending videos.
00:38:38.35\00:38:41.22
And it's amazing how the
Lord developed these things
00:38:41.25\00:38:45.85
because we have
done many old programs.
00:38:45.89\00:38:49.02
My wife says about 30 of
them and where we have pastors,
00:38:49.06\00:38:54.23
doctors, participating,
we've had pulmonologists,
00:38:54.26\00:38:59.73
we've had heart specialists,
00:38:59.77\00:39:02.67
pediatricians,
Christian psychologists,
00:39:02.70\00:39:06.11
family counselors,
00:39:06.14\00:39:08.21
because there
are different aspects
00:39:08.24\00:39:09.61
of this COVID-19.
00:39:09.64\00:39:11.01
And people are facing
00:39:11.05\00:39:13.31
different struggles
in life, especially,
00:39:13.35\00:39:18.45
family issues at home, children,
00:39:18.49\00:39:21.96
and all kinds of things.
00:39:21.99\00:39:24.26
And so the Lord has
led and I praise the Lord
00:39:24.29\00:39:27.06
because we have been
relevant in this time of need.
00:39:27.10\00:39:31.73
Because of the programming,
00:39:31.77\00:39:33.44
we developed a 12-minute program
00:39:33.47\00:39:37.01
that was running every
day, that either had a doctor
00:39:37.04\00:39:40.94
or a pastor and
people orienting,
00:39:40.98\00:39:44.68
people about the
dangers of COVID,
00:39:44.71\00:39:46.48
how to protect yourself,
what to do if you're infected.
00:39:46.51\00:39:49.48
And there's this other aspect
00:39:49.52\00:39:51.12
that was touched by one
of the doctors and that is,
00:39:51.15\00:39:54.76
or the Christian psychologist,
00:39:54.79\00:39:56.46
you know, there are people
that had difficulties, guilt,
00:39:56.49\00:40:00.16
because they
infected other people.
00:40:00.20\00:40:02.73
And one of them had
even made a comment that,
00:40:02.76\00:40:06.53
"If I infect my parents, I
think I'll just kill myself."
00:40:06.57\00:40:11.74
And so there are
different emotional trauma
00:40:11.77\00:40:14.61
that people have been facing.
00:40:14.64\00:40:15.98
And so the Lord has
blessed in such a way that
00:40:16.01\00:40:19.65
the people have been blessed.
00:40:19.68\00:40:22.12
And as a matter of fact, one,
00:40:22.15\00:40:25.65
we've had one
caller from Puerto Rico
00:40:25.69\00:40:29.92
because thanks to 3ABN,
00:40:29.96\00:40:32.16
we were able to get
on this plan to reach
00:40:32.19\00:40:34.83
the whole island of Puerto Rico.
00:40:34.86\00:40:36.67
So more and more people
are discovering 3ABN Latino.
00:40:36.70\00:40:40.10
And one lady said,
"I started to watch
00:40:40.14\00:40:42.50
because you were sharing
information about COVID-19.
00:40:42.54\00:40:45.74
And I needed to know about this,
00:40:45.77\00:40:48.44
and I just continued watching
00:40:48.48\00:40:50.55
and now it's on all
the time in our home."
00:40:50.58\00:40:53.15
So praise the Lord.
00:40:53.18\00:40:54.62
This has also opened
the opportunity for people
00:40:54.65\00:40:57.62
to continue
watching 3ABN Latino.
00:40:57.65\00:41:01.06
And during this time, you know,
things are not slowing down.
00:41:01.09\00:41:04.76
We have gained some affiliates,
00:41:04.79\00:41:06.19
we've gained a
couple of radio affiliates.
00:41:06.23\00:41:08.63
And we are talking to
00:41:08.66\00:41:10.13
some people that
have a channel in Ecuador
00:41:10.17\00:41:13.97
to include some
of our programming.
00:41:14.00\00:41:16.10
And so we have been busy
in 3ABN Latino, all of 3ABN.
00:41:16.14\00:41:21.18
And I thank the Lord
for the 3ABN Latino editors.
00:41:21.21\00:41:23.98
And it's been a lot of work,
00:41:24.01\00:41:26.92
and we're still moving
forward by God's grace.
00:41:26.95\00:41:29.42
Amen, Pastor.
00:41:29.45\00:41:30.79
Yeah, I agree
with you, you know,
00:41:30.82\00:41:32.15
there's still
things that are happening
00:41:32.19\00:41:33.62
even though
we've been shut down.
00:41:33.66\00:41:35.19
Because, I mean,
obviously, you're aware of this,
00:41:35.22\00:41:36.66
but, you know, across my desk
00:41:36.69\00:41:38.39
and I'm signing new
contracts like you're saying
00:41:38.43\00:41:40.50
for whether it's for
cable or radio, for Latino.
00:41:40.53\00:41:43.03
So it's encouraging to see
that things are still happening
00:41:43.06\00:41:46.40
and going forward.
00:41:46.43\00:41:47.87
And there's some
exciting things, Pastor Johnny,
00:41:47.90\00:41:49.50
we can just tease our
viewers and listeners right now,
00:41:49.54\00:41:52.71
but there's some
really exciting news
00:41:52.74\00:41:54.54
that we're just while
I'm chomping at the bit.
00:41:54.58\00:41:56.71
So they say, to
share this information,
00:41:56.75\00:41:59.31
but this is coming really
soon and God has just opened
00:41:59.35\00:42:02.02
incredible doors that we will be
00:42:02.05\00:42:04.62
sharing this news by God's grace
00:42:04.65\00:42:06.29
and by faith here surely.
00:42:06.32\00:42:08.02
I know you're
excited about this, you know,
00:42:08.06\00:42:09.69
what project I'm
referring to, Pastor.
00:42:09.72\00:42:11.19
But God is doing marvelous
things here in these end times.
00:42:11.23\00:42:15.70
I am.
00:42:15.73\00:42:17.07
I do know what
you're talking about
00:42:17.10\00:42:18.47
and we're just
trying to hold back
00:42:18.50\00:42:21.70
from sharing these things
00:42:21.74\00:42:23.07
because they are still
developing some things.
00:42:23.10\00:42:25.17
They are. And, but
they are so exciting.
00:42:25.21\00:42:29.78
And it's going to mean a
lot for the gospel to spread.
00:42:29.81\00:42:34.58
And I just praise the Lord.
00:42:34.62\00:42:36.42
We're gonna be so
happy to share this with you
00:42:36.45\00:42:39.15
as soon as we see
the Lord work things out
00:42:39.19\00:42:42.62
that are still in
process, but it is exciting.
00:42:42.66\00:42:45.53
Yeah, amen.
00:42:45.56\00:42:46.90
Yeah, we appreciate the work
that you and your dear wife do
00:42:46.93\00:42:50.20
and then the
entire 3ABN Latino team.
00:42:50.23\00:42:52.50
You know, it's a hard
working group we have here.
00:42:52.53\00:42:53.87
Oh, yes!
00:42:53.90\00:42:55.24
Thank you for your
leadership with 3ABN Latino.
00:42:55.27\00:42:57.34
I know we got to let you
go but just one question here,
00:42:57.37\00:43:00.41
regarding, I know 3ABN Latino
00:43:00.44\00:43:02.38
is doing special
programming for church services,
00:43:02.41\00:43:06.11
so talk to us a
moment about that because,
00:43:06.15\00:43:08.78
of course, churches
have been shut down,
00:43:08.82\00:43:11.02
and you have stepped forward
00:43:11.05\00:43:13.09
in providing a
worship hour for them.
00:43:13.12\00:43:17.03
Yes, that's
another area of ministry
00:43:17.06\00:43:20.53
that taking the lead
that our 3ABN Parent Network,
00:43:20.56\00:43:23.87
we've been
preparing worship hour,
00:43:23.90\00:43:27.50
and we've had emphasis
00:43:27.54\00:43:29.17
on different
aspects of this pandemic
00:43:29.20\00:43:32.17
and facing the future,
with hope in your heart.
00:43:32.21\00:43:35.88
So we've produced
00:43:35.91\00:43:39.11
what we call the
3ABN Latino Worship Hour
00:43:39.15\00:43:43.49
that are airing on 3ABN Latino
00:43:43.52\00:43:45.65
and we have
received very good comments
00:43:45.69\00:43:48.36
about the sermons
that are being broadcast.
00:43:48.39\00:43:52.23
As a matter of fact,
00:43:52.26\00:43:53.60
people are
telling, "I've been blessed.
00:43:53.63\00:43:55.76
This has been
welcome in our home,
00:43:55.80\00:43:58.73
and we just thank the Lord
for what 3ABN continues to do
00:43:58.77\00:44:01.90
to reach out to us."
00:44:01.94\00:44:03.27
And it's been
another area of ministry.
00:44:03.30\00:44:05.57
You know, it's interesting that
00:44:05.61\00:44:06.94
during this COVID-19
we've had people participate
00:44:06.98\00:44:10.85
from different countries that,
00:44:10.88\00:44:12.71
otherwise would be
very difficult for them
00:44:12.75\00:44:15.45
to participate
00:44:15.48\00:44:16.82
because the
issue of getting visas
00:44:16.85\00:44:19.65
to come to the US,
00:44:19.69\00:44:22.62
even when you
don't have the COVID-19,
00:44:22.66\00:44:24.79
but we've had some
00:44:24.83\00:44:27.46
beautiful
musical talent come to us
00:44:27.50\00:44:30.33
and people are more accepting
00:44:30.37\00:44:31.83
of seeing a home
video than before.
00:44:31.87\00:44:34.34
So we've had some
singers and tremendous talent
00:44:34.37\00:44:39.37
that had been
able to participate.
00:44:39.41\00:44:41.81
We even had a whole
orchestra participate too,
00:44:41.84\00:44:47.75
I mean, they had
all these little squares
00:44:47.78\00:44:49.55
where the people
were playing violins
00:44:49.58\00:44:51.62
and different instruments
and it was just exciting to see
00:44:51.65\00:44:56.49
the creative way people
are doing things to reach out
00:44:56.52\00:45:01.03
and to stay
connected through the COVID-19.
00:45:01.06\00:45:04.20
So we've had
pastors preaching sermons,
00:45:04.23\00:45:07.10
we've had people, we
even had some special programs
00:45:07.14\00:45:09.87
from pastors
that will be difficult
00:45:09.90\00:45:12.94
to get to 3ABN, all together.
00:45:12.97\00:45:15.34
But a lot of these pastors
00:45:15.38\00:45:17.35
are not able to be
teaching in universities,
00:45:17.38\00:45:20.05
they're not able to be
ministering in churches,
00:45:20.08\00:45:21.95
so they were home.
00:45:21.98\00:45:23.32
So we've been able to get them.
00:45:23.35\00:45:25.15
And we've had a
question and answer,
00:45:25.19\00:45:27.99
like end time events.
00:45:28.02\00:45:29.79
We had four
theologians on at the same time,
00:45:29.82\00:45:33.16
answering questions from people,
00:45:33.19\00:45:35.10
and it has just been
a tremendous blessing.
00:45:35.13\00:45:37.50
Amen. Amen.
00:45:37.53\00:45:38.87
Thank you, Pastor Johnny,
00:45:38.90\00:45:40.24
we again appreciate you
and the work that you're doing.
00:45:40.27\00:45:42.77
And yeah, 3ABN Latino
00:45:42.80\00:45:44.14
is a very important
part of 3ABN as a whole.
00:45:44.17\00:45:46.94
So God be with you.
00:45:46.98\00:45:48.31
And we'll see you, well,
00:45:48.34\00:45:50.08
safe travels
back and we'll see you
00:45:50.11\00:45:51.55
in the office shortly.
00:45:51.58\00:45:53.82
Thank you very much.
00:45:53.85\00:45:55.18
We asked you to
continue to pray for 3ABN
00:45:55.22\00:45:57.29
and 3ABN Latino as well
because God is not done yet.
00:45:57.32\00:46:00.69
We're thankful to the Lord
00:46:00.72\00:46:02.06
that He's holding back
the four winds of strife
00:46:02.09\00:46:04.39
and gospel is gonna go forward.
00:46:04.43\00:46:05.76
Amen. Amen.
00:46:05.79\00:46:07.13
All right, have a great evening.
00:46:07.16\00:46:08.50
Thank you. God
bless you, Pastor Johnny.
00:46:08.53\00:46:09.86
You know when you think about
00:46:09.90\00:46:11.23
the evangelistic
outreach of 3ABN,
00:46:11.27\00:46:13.44
so much of it
could not take place
00:46:13.47\00:46:16.10
without Roy's department,
00:46:16.14\00:46:18.17
Planned Giving and
Trust Services, because...
00:46:18.21\00:46:20.21
I agree.
00:46:20.24\00:46:21.58
Through this
department so much funds
00:46:21.61\00:46:24.71
come in to be able to
support this evangelistic work.
00:46:24.75\00:46:27.68
So talk to us about
00:46:27.72\00:46:29.05
what you've been
doing during COVID?
00:46:29.08\00:46:31.42
Well, it's an exciting time.
00:46:31.45\00:46:33.49
We know we're in the
last days. That's true.
00:46:33.52\00:46:36.09
When you see all the
calamities that are happening,
00:46:36.12\00:46:38.89
the COVID-19, the
tornadoes, the riots,
00:46:38.93\00:46:44.67
we're told in the last days
00:46:44.70\00:46:47.00
that these things
are going to happen.
00:46:47.04\00:46:50.04
So the Lord is
right around the corner.
00:46:50.07\00:46:53.24
So when COVID-19 hit,
00:46:53.27\00:46:56.58
our phones usually ring pretty
consistently all day along
00:46:56.61\00:47:01.52
and our phones
just playing quit.
00:47:01.55\00:47:05.95
Everybody was home,
concerned about their families.
00:47:05.99\00:47:09.52
They didn't know
what was happening.
00:47:09.56\00:47:11.96
And as things
began to settle down,
00:47:11.99\00:47:14.73
the phones rang a little more.
00:47:14.76\00:47:17.57
However, during
the silence, we said,
00:47:17.60\00:47:21.37
"If our phones aren't ringing,
00:47:21.40\00:47:23.77
we're going to make our viewers
and listeners phones ring."
00:47:23.81\00:47:27.98
All right, that's
good. I've got a good staff.
00:47:28.01\00:47:30.05
Yes, you do.
00:47:30.08\00:47:31.41
I've got Earlenne,
Nancy and Karen and myself.
00:47:31.45\00:47:36.32
We got our list of
00:47:36.35\00:47:37.92
all of our trust
doors, our heritance.
00:47:37.95\00:47:42.06
We didn't
realize how many we had.
00:47:42.09\00:47:44.93
We didn't make it all
the way through the list,
00:47:44.96\00:47:47.16
but we sat down
00:47:47.20\00:47:48.73
and we started
calling individuals
00:47:48.76\00:47:51.90
to let them know that
3ABN cares during this time.
00:47:51.93\00:47:56.84
We care about you.
00:47:56.87\00:47:58.74
It wasn't a call about finances.
00:47:58.77\00:48:01.44
It was strictly
a call to find out
00:48:01.48\00:48:03.58
how they were
doing. How's your family?
00:48:03.61\00:48:06.85
Do you have prayer?
00:48:06.88\00:48:08.88
Do you have prayer
requests that we can pray about?
00:48:08.92\00:48:11.89
And, you know, what
was exciting to hear
00:48:11.92\00:48:15.16
most people were doing okay...
00:48:15.19\00:48:17.03
Oh, good. Praise
the Lord. Physically.
00:48:17.06\00:48:19.03
We only had one mother
and son that tested positive,
00:48:19.06\00:48:23.57
and they were
home in quarantine.
00:48:23.60\00:48:25.70
But everybody else was home.
00:48:25.73\00:48:29.14
And their concern
was not about themselves.
00:48:29.17\00:48:32.54
Their concern
was about the people
00:48:32.57\00:48:34.74
around the world
that don't know Christ.
00:48:34.78\00:48:37.55
And during this time of trouble,
00:48:37.58\00:48:40.62
the word needs to get out.
00:48:40.65\00:48:43.32
And so we prayed about that,
we prayed about their family.
00:48:43.35\00:48:47.66
We had some moms and dads
00:48:47.69\00:48:49.72
where their children
weren't in the church.
00:48:49.76\00:48:52.73
And during this time,
00:48:52.76\00:48:54.66
they were really concerned about
00:48:54.70\00:48:57.03
the young people of the family.
00:48:57.07\00:48:58.93
Wow!
00:48:58.97\00:49:00.30
You know, Roy,
that's actually incredible,
00:49:00.34\00:49:01.67
like what you're mentioning,
'cause here's someone
00:49:01.70\00:49:03.04
that's actually tested positive,
00:49:03.07\00:49:04.41
right, you know,
their own health or people
00:49:04.44\00:49:06.78
are worried
about their own health
00:49:06.81\00:49:08.14
yet they're concerned in
a good way about evangelism
00:49:08.18\00:49:11.85
and how the message
is going to get out.
00:49:11.88\00:49:14.05
That shows you the
true heart of an individual.
00:49:14.08\00:49:17.42
Of an individual. And
it was encouraging to us.
00:49:17.45\00:49:19.99
Yeah. Yeah.
00:49:20.02\00:49:21.36
It was encouraging
for them to hear from us
00:49:21.39\00:49:26.29
and likewise, to hear from them.
00:49:26.33\00:49:28.56
So maybe just
briefly, Roy, real quick
00:49:28.60\00:49:30.13
because someone
may be tonight saying,
00:49:30.17\00:49:32.40
"Planned Giving
Trust, what exactly is that?"
00:49:32.43\00:49:35.30
So maybe can you just give
us like a real brief synopsis of
00:49:35.34\00:49:38.31
what this department is
00:49:38.34\00:49:39.67
and what does it
function here at 3ABN?
00:49:39.71\00:49:41.64
I have to tell you
00:49:41.68\00:49:43.01
one little quick story before...
00:49:43.04\00:49:44.38
Sounds good.
00:49:44.41\00:49:45.75
Okay, so story then description.
00:49:45.78\00:49:47.12
That's right. Okay.
00:49:47.15\00:49:48.48
The calls that we made
were not about finance.
00:49:48.52\00:49:50.12
Yes, that's right.
00:49:50.15\00:49:51.49
It was concerning
of the individuals.
00:49:51.52\00:49:54.79
We had one lady,
Earlenne made the call.
00:49:54.82\00:49:58.39
And the lady said
it, "I can't believe 3ABN
00:49:58.43\00:50:02.16
is calling me right now."
00:50:02.20\00:50:04.33
She said, "I just
had a check come in.
00:50:04.37\00:50:06.43
I didn't know which ministry
was going to get the check."
00:50:06.47\00:50:09.90
And she says,
"You're the first one
00:50:09.94\00:50:12.37
that's contacted me not
about money but about me."
00:50:12.41\00:50:17.08
She says, "That
money's going to come to 3ABN."
00:50:17.11\00:50:19.71
Wow, praise the Lord. And
that was exciting to hear.
00:50:19.75\00:50:22.28
That wasn't what we were doing.
00:50:22.32\00:50:25.25
But she was excited about
helping evangelism for 3ABN.
00:50:25.29\00:50:28.76
Amen.
00:50:28.79\00:50:30.39
Now, there's a lot of ways
00:50:30.43\00:50:32.06
that you can help 3ABN
in supporting financially.
00:50:32.09\00:50:38.03
You can donate...
00:50:38.07\00:50:40.04
Now people say
00:50:40.07\00:50:41.40
how can we
affect 3ABN right now?
00:50:41.44\00:50:43.94
Sure. Outright donations.
00:50:43.97\00:50:47.24
Another way is
through trust and wills.
00:50:47.28\00:50:51.05
And people that know me,
00:50:51.08\00:50:52.65
know I'm going to say
something about trusted wills.
00:50:52.68\00:50:54.95
Oh, yes. That's right.
00:50:54.98\00:50:57.22
I've been waiting.
It's just part of me.
00:50:57.25\00:50:58.59
That's right.
00:50:58.62\00:50:59.95
And one of the documents
00:50:59.99\00:51:01.86
that we have is called
a charitable gift annuity.
00:51:01.89\00:51:05.66
It's something
that's really easy to start.
00:51:05.69\00:51:10.60
Single individual can
start with as little as $5,000.
00:51:10.63\00:51:16.37
For a husband and
wife, it's $10,000.
00:51:16.40\00:51:22.21
Now I have to tell
everybody that's listening.
00:51:22.24\00:51:26.21
The rates are based on your age.
00:51:26.25\00:51:29.42
So the older you are,
the more interest is paid on
00:51:29.45\00:51:32.52
a monthly basis for
the rest of your life.
00:51:32.55\00:51:36.76
We subscribe to a service
00:51:36.79\00:51:38.96
that all the rest of the
ministries subscribed too.
00:51:38.99\00:51:43.06
And they set the rates as
to what we pay interest wise.
00:51:43.10\00:51:47.24
They go through all of
the calculations to see
00:51:47.27\00:51:52.87
what best fits our ministry
00:51:52.91\00:51:55.14
during every single
financial time during the year.
00:51:55.18\00:52:00.52
Well, they've
decided as of July 1,
00:52:00.55\00:52:04.89
the rates are going down.
00:52:04.92\00:52:06.62
Oh! Okay.
00:52:06.65\00:52:07.99
Wow. Okay. So my...
00:52:08.02\00:52:10.56
Does that mean if you have
00:52:10.59\00:52:11.93
a charitable
gift annuity already,
00:52:11.96\00:52:13.80
then your rates
not going to go down?
00:52:13.83\00:52:15.93
No. Okay.
00:52:15.96\00:52:17.30
If you have a
charitable gift annuity,
00:52:17.33\00:52:19.43
whatever rate you start
with stays that same rate
00:52:19.47\00:52:22.90
for like the rest of your life.
00:52:22.94\00:52:24.27
So it won't be affected
then? It won't be affected.
00:52:24.31\00:52:27.41
But I know there's
many people out there
00:52:27.44\00:52:29.68
that are thinking
about doing annuities.
00:52:29.71\00:52:32.45
So my advice to those
kind of, on the ball, you know?
00:52:32.48\00:52:37.29
Yeah.
00:52:37.32\00:52:38.65
Now's the time
before it could lie.
00:52:38.69\00:52:40.02
Now is the time.
00:52:40.06\00:52:41.39
And if you're thinking about it,
00:52:41.42\00:52:43.49
and we've had calls from people
00:52:43.53\00:52:44.99
that have seen our
programming recently,
00:52:45.03\00:52:47.20
said, we want to do an annuity.
00:52:47.23\00:52:49.60
We really need to
get your applications
00:52:49.63\00:52:52.87
and the check in by June 24
00:52:52.90\00:52:57.51
that gives us a
little bit of time
00:52:57.54\00:52:59.01
before the end of the month.
00:52:59.04\00:53:00.61
And you will be locked in
00:53:00.64\00:53:01.98
to the current
rates which are higher.
00:53:02.01\00:53:05.08
Can I ask...
00:53:05.11\00:53:06.51
This is putting you on the spot.
00:53:06.55\00:53:07.88
Can you give us an approximation
00:53:07.92\00:53:09.72
of how much the
interest return rate would be,
00:53:09.75\00:53:12.12
say I'm 75 years old?
00:53:12.15\00:53:15.39
And... You must
have read my notes.
00:53:15.42\00:53:17.56
Yay!
00:53:17.59\00:53:18.93
Because, I mean,
you're talking interest rate
00:53:18.96\00:53:20.50
and you're
saying it's going down.
00:53:20.53\00:53:21.86
But I mean, are we talking,
am I getting half percent?
00:53:21.90\00:53:24.40
Am I getting 1%, 2%?
What percentage would be?
00:53:24.43\00:53:27.44
For a 75 year old
person, the old rate was 5.8%.
00:53:27.47\00:53:33.38
Wow. Oh, that's good.
00:53:33.41\00:53:35.11
The new rate is
going to be 5.4%.
00:53:35.14\00:53:37.45
Okay.
00:53:37.48\00:53:38.81
Doesn't sound like a lot but
00:53:38.85\00:53:40.18
over a period of
time, it's quite a bit.
00:53:40.22\00:53:45.22
Seventy five year old
if they put in $50,000,
00:53:45.25\00:53:48.89
and that's kind of
a nice round figure.
00:53:48.92\00:53:50.76
Some people
give more, some less,
00:53:50.79\00:53:52.89
but we chose kind of
the middle of the road,
00:53:52.93\00:53:55.50
$50,000 your interest rate
00:53:55.53\00:53:59.17
is going to be 5.8%,
00:53:59.20\00:54:04.61
excuse me 5.4%.
00:54:04.64\00:54:07.31
Okay. Okay.
00:54:07.34\00:54:08.81
And that's a reduction of
about $200 in a year's time.
00:54:08.84\00:54:13.45
Doesn't sound like a whole lot,
but over a period of 10 years,
00:54:13.48\00:54:17.85
that's $2,000.
00:54:17.89\00:54:19.85
Oh, sure, it's now
that's quite a bit.
00:54:19.89\00:54:21.22
So that changes July 1? July 1.
00:54:21.26\00:54:23.73
Okay.
00:54:23.76\00:54:25.09
And everybody that's thinking
00:54:25.13\00:54:26.46
and if anybody
has not been thinking,
00:54:26.49\00:54:28.23
but now they're
interested, give us a call.
00:54:28.26\00:54:31.97
Our offices are open
from Monday through Thursday,
00:54:32.00\00:54:36.50
8 to 5 Central Time.
00:54:36.54\00:54:38.74
And all they have to do is call
00:54:38.77\00:54:40.54
(800)-886-4800.
00:54:40.58\00:54:45.45
Say that number once again.
00:54:45.48\00:54:46.82
800... (800)-886-4800.
00:54:46.85\00:54:52.89
And talk to any one of us
about a charitable gift annuity.
00:54:52.92\00:54:57.26
We have other documents,
00:54:57.29\00:54:58.76
but that one is really
time sensitive, right now.
00:54:58.79\00:55:02.06
Yeah, that's for sure.
00:55:02.10\00:55:03.43
And we do cash trusts,
00:55:03.47\00:55:05.40
we do SAT which is
Self-Administered Trust,
00:55:05.43\00:55:07.90
many different documents.
00:55:07.94\00:55:09.27
If you have any
question call Roy
00:55:09.30\00:55:11.04
and his team
because they're so helpful.
00:55:11.07\00:55:12.61
You know one of the
things I'm so grateful for Roy,
00:55:12.64\00:55:14.64
thank you for, you know,
00:55:14.68\00:55:16.01
doing this is that we
don't do any pressure.
00:55:16.04\00:55:18.31
You know, so if you're,
"Oh, boy, as soon as I call
00:55:18.35\00:55:20.95
it's gonna be like
a big sales pitch."
00:55:20.98\00:55:22.58
No, we don't do that.
That's how 3ABN operates.
00:55:22.62\00:55:25.52
We don't put that pressure.
00:55:25.55\00:55:26.89
We'll just give
you the information
00:55:26.92\00:55:28.26
then it's up to you.
00:55:28.29\00:55:29.62
And what's really
neat, Roy, is that,
00:55:29.66\00:55:30.99
how do we say this nicely
but like when we pass away
00:55:31.03\00:55:36.46
that's what's incredible
00:55:36.50\00:55:37.83
'cause even today
we receive something.
00:55:37.87\00:55:39.47
Today, this person
now is sleeping in Jesus
00:55:39.50\00:55:42.60
but yet their
works do follow them.
00:55:42.64\00:55:44.41
So their gift now
that they've passed away
00:55:44.44\00:55:46.78
is come to 3ABN and
its continuing evangelism.
00:55:46.81\00:55:50.31
So here they're resting.
00:55:50.35\00:55:51.71
They don't know
what's happening,
00:55:51.75\00:55:53.08
but yet it's making a difference
00:55:53.11\00:55:54.45
still in the work of the Lord.
00:55:54.48\00:55:55.82
And I see people
that have a trust,
00:55:55.85\00:55:58.05
and I put this word out
and I know it's working.
00:55:58.09\00:56:01.49
They say, "We
already have a trust.
00:56:01.52\00:56:03.19
We don't need to
do on with 3ABN."
00:56:03.22\00:56:06.33
Well, you can still
include us in your trust
00:56:06.36\00:56:09.13
by going to the administrator
of your trust, and say,
00:56:09.16\00:56:12.53
"We want 3ABN to
be a part of it."
00:56:12.57\00:56:14.04
Yeah. Amen.
00:56:14.07\00:56:15.40
And surprises down
the road, you know.
00:56:15.44\00:56:17.04
Yeah, absolutely.
00:56:17.07\00:56:18.41
Those are surprises
to 3ABN. Absolutely.
00:56:18.44\00:56:20.31
Because you can
make that decision
00:56:20.34\00:56:21.68
when you write a trust
00:56:21.71\00:56:23.04
or a will, you
know, you can decide,
00:56:23.08\00:56:24.41
"Okay, what certain
percentage goes to my children,
00:56:24.45\00:56:27.18
certain
percentage I want to 3ABN,"
00:56:27.22\00:56:29.38
or people can even
choose other ministries.
00:56:29.42\00:56:31.35
So absolutely there's options.
Our tagline is a well...
00:56:31.39\00:56:36.19
Oh, I forgot that word.
00:56:39.59\00:56:41.53
But it's a good trust if
you include God in family.
00:56:41.56\00:56:44.23
Amen. Amen.
00:56:44.27\00:56:45.60
Yeah. Yes.
00:56:45.63\00:56:46.97
You need to include both. Yeah.
00:56:47.00\00:56:48.34
Absolutely. Yeah, absolutely.
00:56:48.37\00:56:49.70
Yeah, thank... Well,
it's a well designed.
00:56:49.74\00:56:51.07
Yeah. Amen. Yeah.
00:56:51.11\00:56:52.44
Thank you, Roy, for
what you and your team,
00:56:52.47\00:56:54.04
you know are doing.
00:56:54.08\00:56:55.41
It's really, to
me it's just neat
00:56:55.44\00:56:57.55
to see again, how people,
00:56:57.58\00:56:59.41
how you, I'm gonna say
people 'cause you are family.
00:56:59.45\00:57:01.72
So how you have the vision,
you know, for evangelism.
00:57:01.75\00:57:05.25
You stood with this ministry,
00:57:05.29\00:57:06.62
many of you from
the very beginning,
00:57:06.65\00:57:08.22
we still hear from you.
00:57:08.26\00:57:09.59
You said, "Oh,
Danny came to my church
00:57:09.62\00:57:11.39
before 3ABN
began," maybe that's you.
00:57:11.43\00:57:14.13
And we gave, we supported,
00:57:14.16\00:57:15.73
we prayed, and now
look what God has done.
00:57:15.76\00:57:19.37
And again, I've got
so many letters here.
00:57:19.40\00:57:20.74
We may share some
more in the second hour.
00:57:20.77\00:57:23.47
But these are ones
that are just a sampling
00:57:23.51\00:57:25.27
of some of the ones
00:57:25.31\00:57:26.64
that have come
through just this week.
00:57:26.68\00:57:28.91
We're going to switch out guests
00:57:28.94\00:57:30.28
here before the second
hour at the break here.
00:57:30.31\00:57:33.48
And we're going to
bring on Jason Bradley,
00:57:33.52\00:57:35.28
General Manager
of Dare to Dream,
00:57:35.32\00:57:36.99
Tim Parton, General Manager
of Praise Him Music Network
00:57:37.02\00:57:39.69
and Francine Bergmann,
00:57:39.72\00:57:41.26
General Manager
of our Kids Network.
00:57:41.29\00:57:44.13
But we just have a
couple moments left.
00:57:44.16\00:57:45.69
And so I don't know
if you each want to share
00:57:45.73\00:57:47.83
a closing
thought, something maybe
00:57:47.86\00:57:49.80
that's on your heart pertaining
to your particular network
00:57:49.83\00:57:52.60
or department or ministry.
00:57:52.63\00:57:54.04
Jay?
00:57:54.07\00:57:55.40
Well, my closing thought
would be that people take
00:57:55.44\00:57:59.87
what's happening in
the world very seriously.
00:57:59.91\00:58:03.14
And there is a lot of
good in watching and listening
00:58:03.18\00:58:08.02
to 3ABN programming,
00:58:08.05\00:58:09.62
and I hope they
do a lot of that,
00:58:09.65\00:58:11.45
not for us, but for them.
00:58:11.49\00:58:13.22
We're here for them.
That's our whole purpose.
00:58:13.25\00:58:16.16
I don't know if anybody
that's here for themselves.
00:58:16.19\00:58:19.16
Yeah.
00:58:19.19\00:58:20.53
We're here for the
listeners, for the viewers,
00:58:20.56\00:58:23.73
for the audience,
00:58:23.77\00:58:25.10
for anybody that we
can help to find out
00:58:25.13\00:58:28.44
what's involved in eternal life.
00:58:28.47\00:58:29.87
Amen!
00:58:29.90\00:58:31.24
They can get
3ABN Radio by 3ABN.tv.
00:58:31.27\00:58:33.78
They can click on the Radio
tab and go to the app as well
00:58:33.81\00:58:35.94
and get 3ABN Radio.
00:58:35.98\00:58:37.31
Yes, right, 3abnradio.org,
00:58:37.35\00:58:39.11
if you want to
right there as well.
00:58:39.15\00:58:40.62
Yeah, to write it,
perfect. Yes. Uh-huh.
00:58:40.65\00:58:42.15
I just like to say and people
have heard me say this again,
00:58:42.18\00:58:44.79
but I'll keep repeating it.
00:58:44.82\00:58:46.92
The hardest
thing of doing a trust,
00:58:46.96\00:58:49.89
a will is getting started.
00:58:49.92\00:58:53.50
Don't procrastinate.
00:58:53.53\00:58:55.16
Procrastination, yes, we
all tend to procrastinate
00:58:55.20\00:58:59.27
in something so vital
as your will or trust.
00:58:59.30\00:59:04.07
Do it now. Yeah.
00:59:04.11\00:59:05.44
Amen. Well said, Roy, thank you.
00:59:05.47\00:59:06.81
Thank you so much,
Roy, for your leadership
00:59:06.84\00:59:08.54
with Planned
Giving and Trust Services,
00:59:08.58\00:59:10.01
you and your wife
doing incredible job.
00:59:10.05\00:59:11.61
And thank you, Jay,
00:59:11.65\00:59:13.21
for your
leadership with radio as well.
00:59:13.25\00:59:15.25
And we so
appreciate you and your wife.
00:59:15.28\00:59:17.72
And thank you for being
part of the 3ABN Family.
00:59:17.75\00:59:20.06
We're talking about
evangelism here at 3ABN.
00:59:20.09\00:59:23.19
A letter just crossed my desk
00:59:23.22\00:59:24.86
two weeks ago
and the person said,
00:59:24.89\00:59:26.43
"Jill, could you
help me find Jesus?"
00:59:26.46\00:59:29.13
Wow!
00:59:29.16\00:59:30.50
That is why this ministry
00:59:30.53\00:59:31.87
exists to point people to Jesus,
00:59:31.90\00:59:34.14
the Lamb of God,
who takes away the sin
00:59:34.17\00:59:36.47
of the world.
00:59:36.50\00:59:37.84
Don't go away.
00:59:37.87\00:59:39.21
We have a full second hour
coming up in just a moment.
00:59:39.24\00:59:41.54
