Amanda Bergman, that's right. 04:26 But it's other kids too 04:28 when I hear messages from other kids though. 04:30 I love hearing from them. 04:32 You know, your love for children. 04:33 Of course, you're a teacher and you've taught for years, 04:35 you have a tremendous amount of experience. 04:37 And then to be able to bring that here to 3ABN 04:39 and to take on the Kids Network, 04:41 what an incredible challenge, but you're doing a great job. 04:44 And you have some exciting things 04:45 to share with us in just a moment 04:47 of what's happening. 04:48 And then last but not least is Tim Parton, 04:51 General Manager of Praise and Music Network 04:54 and we're just so glad you're here tonight. 04:56 Now, it's a pleasure, always a privilege 04:57 to sit around the table and talk about 05:00 the goodness of God, it really is. 05:02 And I'm excited about some of the things 05:03 we're going to talk about tonight. 05:04 Yeah. 05:06 And Praise Him 05:07 is the newest network, isn't it? 05:09 Came on a year. 05:10 Is it year and a half? Yes. 05:12 Correct, year and a half ago. 05:14 And, but it really seems like it's been a long time. 05:17 But anyway, it's all good. So I'm really excited. 05:21 So I want to just talk about it. 05:23 Yeah, so I want to just say 05:25 something about the Praise Him Network. 05:27 Yeah, but first, so in my office, 05:29 I get to monitor all of the networks 05:30 that comes in on TV. 05:32 It's called the multiviewer. 05:33 But the way the audio is piped in, 05:35 I only get audio for Praise Him. 05:38 So, you know, sometimes, you know, I'm there... 05:40 It worked. What? 05:41 It worked. And I'm blessed. 05:45 So, you know, because, you know, ministry is great, 05:47 but it also can be just being honest, 05:49 little draining at times, 05:51 you know, just tiring in a good way. 05:53 And sometimes you just little pick me up 05:55 and so I'll just turn the volume up 05:57 and there's always some great music 05:58 and I like music 05:59 because it's worshipping the Lord 06:01 and it's just like, man, just like wow, 06:03 praise the Lord is exactly the song 06:04 that I needed for right now. 06:06 And so thank you, Tim. You're welcome. 06:08 In fact I just today 06:09 I made a little newsbreak regarding two women, 06:13 separate viewers, one from, da-da, da-da, 06:18 some New Brunswick, would be Newfoundland. 06:20 Canada? Okay. Yes. 06:22 And then the other from Turkey 06:24 who have watched it and throughout the virus 06:29 they have been using it to, 06:33 they stay up later at night watching it 06:35 and then had been able to go to sleep well 06:37 because of the, you know, the message, you know, 06:40 being fresh on the mind. 06:41 The music, so, yeah, so I actually made like, 06:44 kind of a little insomnia cure newsbreak today. 06:49 You know, if you suffer from insomnia, 06:51 watch Praise Him would put you right to sleep. 06:54 I don't know if that's a good thing or bad. 06:56 That is a great thing. 06:59 No, that's great, but it's a blessing. 07:00 Yes, it's powerful. 07:02 That's the beautiful thing about music, you know, 07:04 because it encourages you 07:05 when you need encouragement or... 07:07 Soothe you. 07:08 It soothes you, or if you need comfort, 07:10 or if you need to pick me up 07:11 you can get a happy song that makes you. 07:14 Yes, I like that. All right. 07:15 Brother Jason so with Dare to Dream, 07:18 we're sure the general manager 07:20 of that network and it's incredible 07:21 because it's reaching, 07:23 well, its main mission is the urban. 07:24 Yes, yes. Yeah. 07:27 So for some of us just may be tuning in 07:29 because this is I know my mind 07:30 is just running everywhere tonight 07:32 but we have had an incredible amount of 07:34 new subscribers and viewers here 07:35 because I believe of COVID 07:37 they're searching for something and stumbling across 3ABN. 07:41 So in case someone hasn't heard what Dare to Dream is, 07:44 just describe to us 07:45 what Dare to Dream Network is all about? 07:47 I'm so glad you asked about that. 07:49 Yes, I can see that smile. 07:50 So Dare to Dream, what we want to do 07:53 is reach the urban communities around the globe 07:56 with the gospel of Jesus Christ and practical tools for living. 07:59 So we have health and wellness programs, 08:01 financial literacy programs, sexual purity programs, 08:04 we've got cooking programs, and I get to taste that food. 08:07 I saw it. And your smile grew bigger. 08:09 Oh, yeah, yeah, that food is incredible too. 08:12 Creative Cooking is a great program on there, 08:15 Taste of Paradise, all of that. 08:17 I love when people get creative in the kitchen, 08:20 and I get creative with my tasting. 08:22 And then we also have a Father's Heart, 08:26 which is a fatherhood program. 08:28 And so, you know, you see around the world 08:32 and absenteeism of fathers 08:35 in the home for various reasons. 08:37 And so, we have a group of guys, 08:40 they come together, 08:41 they talk about their experiences 08:43 when they were children, and with their parent, 08:46 with their dad or lack thereof. 08:50 And then now they talk about how they are with their kids 08:53 and how they introduce their kids to Christ 08:57 and how they are the high priest of the home 09:00 and all of those things and they get really vulnerable. 09:02 And, you know, 09:03 sometimes they shed a couple tears. 09:05 So now you have some grown men crying a little bit, 09:09 getting a little vulnerable. 09:10 So you get to see that side as well. 09:13 And we want to provide 09:14 the urban communities with resources. 09:17 So we've got Urban Report, which is our flagship program. 09:21 And we have all kinds of different interviews 09:24 and we've been quite busy with that as well. 09:27 So we've got how to pray. 09:30 We've got how to avoid getting ripped off 09:33 when you take your car to, you know, yeah, 09:36 the car care defender. 09:38 He teaches you how to avoid getting ripped off 09:41 when you take your car in for repairs. 09:44 We've got wonderful testimonies and also Pastor Myers 09:48 talked about his photo theology course. 09:51 And that was an incredible interview as well. 09:55 Wow. Yeah, go ahead. 09:57 So I was just going to say talk to us about 09:59 some of the new things that are happening. 10:01 I know with urbans, you've been doing some Skypes. 10:04 I've been seeing that come through 10:06 with some different people. 10:07 Talk to us about some of that, 10:09 and some of the other programming that's coming? 10:10 So one of those was Pastor Myers' Photo-Theology. 10:13 Then we also have, 10:15 we've been talking about COVID-19 10:18 with Dr. Theodore Watkins, who's an MD, 10:21 and he was just discussing some things you can do 10:24 to protect your family 10:26 and protect your home as well and all of that. 10:30 And then we've also talked to Chris Lang, 10:33 who came out with a movie about 10:35 Roger Morneau's life and his story. 10:40 I think it's called Charmed by Darkness. 10:43 And so that is... Yes, he was in the occult. 10:47 He was into what? Would you say devil worship? 10:50 Oh, yeah. Yeah, I would say some. 10:52 And then how God just miraculously delivered him? 10:54 Yes, yes. So we did a Skype on that. 10:57 We talked to Monae [inaudible]. 11:00 I tell him every time, I'm like help me, 11:02 help me say that name Monae [inaudible] 11:05 so and he's got a wonderful place in New York. 11:10 And he actually acquired the health food store, 11:12 him and his family who are in ministry together. 11:16 Acquired a health food store that I used to go to as a kid. 11:18 But they're just doing incredible things out there. 11:21 And so we're highlighting other ministries as well. 11:24 And really trying to see 11:26 what's going on during this pandemic, 11:28 how people are reaching their communities. 11:31 And so that's what's been taking place on the Skype side. 11:34 Now we were also doing a prison initiative 11:37 where we're trying to get 11:39 Dare to Dream programs into prisons. 11:42 Because, you know, 11:44 when I was in prison, you came to me. 11:46 Absolutely. 11:47 Well, we can't go to the inmates now. 11:50 We can't go see the prisoners. 11:52 We can't go there and take them the gospel, 11:55 but we can through the programming 11:57 that they can find on Dare to Dream. 11:59 And so, there's a lot going on 12:02 and I'm excited that I get to connect more 12:05 with the viewers now, 12:06 since we're not traveling as much and we're actually 12:08 in the office more, 12:10 I can now sit and talk with people 12:12 and all of that as well. 12:14 Yeah, I think it's really amazing you know 12:16 when you think about how people being stuck at home 12:19 is actually kind of a good thing too, 12:21 you know, and I... 12:22 This is something interesting too, Jason. 12:25 It's mainly for those that are in urban communities, right? 12:29 But I'm finding that a lot of people 12:30 that are not in urban communities 12:32 are tuning into 3ABN Dare to Dream. 12:35 I don't consider, it's no slight to this area 12:39 or anything, but it's just you know, 12:40 I don't consider Thompsonville an urban area. 12:42 That's right. 12:43 You know, I consider more of a rural farming country. 12:45 Yeah, a country. 12:46 But yet there's lots of people 12:47 in this area that like to watch 3ABN Dare to Dream. 12:49 So how do you view Dare to Dream? 12:52 I view it as all encompassing. 12:54 I view it as transcending race and culture, all of that. 12:58 I mean, there's something for everyone 13:00 and then people like to eat, 13:02 we've got great food programs, people, you know, 13:06 have kids, well, we've got a parenting program. 13:08 You need to know how to raise your kids, you've got that. 13:11 You need to know how to manage your money. 13:14 You don't want to go bankrupt. 13:15 We've got programs for you on that, I mean. 13:18 So you tell us all about this wonderful programming, 13:20 then how do I watch it? 13:21 Oh, that's excellent. Excellent question.

Overachiever. 14:34 3ABN Kids Network, 3ABN Russia, 3ABN International, 14:37 3ABN France and Praise Him on there and radio. 14:41 So this app is absolutely incredible. 14:44 Thank you. 14:45 You know, what's incredible to me 14:46 as you think about how 3ABN began. 14:48 When God gave Danny the vision 35 years ago 14:50 and that it began with one network 14:53 what we call 3ABN parent network because 14:56 it's the mother network, I guess. 14:58 And then think of all these networks, 15:00 with all these languages and all these niches began 15:03 and grew off of that, hitting so many needs, 15:07 you know within the world today, 15:10 it's incredible. 15:11 You know, Jason, there's a lot of tragedy, 15:13 you know, that's going on in the world right now 15:15 and for 3 ABN for Dare to Dream to be a light. 15:20 What an incredible responsibility, 15:22 but privilege as well. 15:24 Yes, it is. 15:25 Can you talk to us 15:27 just a moment about Salvation and Symbols and Signs, 15:29 that is an amazing program 15:31 and I know you have study guides with it 15:34 and you're working Daniel, and people love that program. 15:37 We get response from that all the time. 15:39 Yes, well, the Book of Daniel and Revelation, 15:41 there's a lot of symbols in it and a lot of signs 15:45 and it can be a little bit daunting to some, 15:51 including myself, and, you know, 15:54 Pastor Ivor Myers and Pastor James Rafferty 15:57 really break it down. 15:58 We take it verse by verse. 15:59 And my mom's on there, Yvonne Shelton, 16:02 she is on there and she's going through it 16:05 and so we're the students on the program. 16:07 So typically when people 16:09 send in their questions on sss@3abn.org. 16:15 Three S's? Three S's. 16:17 sss@3abn.org 16:20 We copy the pastors on them too. 16:23 And they come back with studies and all of that stuff as well. 16:27 But I have a letter that I'd like to share. 16:29 Oh, good. 16:30 I think this will say a little bit about 16:33 Salvation and Symbols and Signs. 16:34 It says, "Dear pastors and panel of SSS, 16:38 thank you for your ministry and allowing God to use you. 16:41 I was searching for someone or a group within the faith 16:45 to study the Book of Revelation 16:47 with because it seems so daunting." 16:48 Oh, there's that word. 16:50 "There was a strong desire to read it, 16:52 but I couldn't shake the feeling of lacking 16:54 the tools to be able to navigate the book on my own. 16:58 I so loved the overview 16:59 that was presented of Revelation. 17:01 Growing up, the emphasis was always on hellfire, 17:04 mark of the beast, etc. 17:06 which only resulted in making people feel like 17:09 they had no choice, 17:11 but to serve God because He was a tyrant. 17:13 You presented God and His true character, 17:15 a God of everlasting love, 17:17 successfully refocusing our minds and hearts 17:20 on the fact that God loves us and the extent He has gone 17:25 and still is going for us because of His love. 17:28 With this picture, 17:29 I can't help but to fear God in awe and respect. 17:34 Love and glorify His name, 17:36 instead of in fearfulness or cowardice. 17:39 Studying the Book of Revelation 17:41 along with the Salvation and Symbols and Signs 17:43 panel has made me fall in love with Jesus anew. 17:46 Thank you for bringing His words to life. 17:48 It brings joy to my soul, 17:50 and I look forward to learning more 17:51 to share with friends, family, and anyone willing to listen." 17:57 So it's really by God's grace. 17:59 It's been touching a lot of lives 18:01 and helping people to grow closer to Christ. 18:04 Amen. That's powerful. 18:06 Why do you think, Jason, 18:08 studying the Word of God is so important, 18:10 especially now in the times we're living in? 18:13 Because I think that, you know, 18:15 we've seen a shift in society to where it's, 18:22 there's a lot of feeling based things taking place. 18:27 And so you have stuff. 18:31 How do I phrase this? 18:34 With the feel, you have it to where, you know, 18:36 people think that loving somebody means 18:39 condoning their behavior. 18:41 Okay. Yeah, that's good. 18:42 And so, you know, with the Bible, 18:45 there are a lot of principles in the Word of God 18:47 that we are to live by that we are to stand by 18:49 because it's easy to get off track 18:53 if you're not principle oriented 18:55 and rooted in the Word of God. 18:56 It's like a house, you know, when you build a house, 19:00 the foundation has to be very strong. 19:03 Everything is hinged upon the foundation. 19:06 So the foundation is Christ. 19:09 And God's words are found in this book. 19:12 I've often heard it mentioned that BIBLE, 19:15 Basic Instructions Before Leaving Earth. 19:18 Well, you know, typically, men don't really look at... 19:23 And I say typically and I didn't say all men, 19:26 but typically men don't really look at instructions, 19:29 we just kind of figure it out, you know, or don't, 19:32 or we watch YouTube. 19:35 But this is nuts. 19:38 This is not a book of instructions 19:40 that you want to avoid reading, because this can have 19:43 eternal consequences on your life. 19:46 So I mean the Bible, there's no matter 19:49 how many times you read it, 19:50 you can read the same passage over and over again. 19:53 God will speak to you through His Word, 19:55 and it will really transform your life. 19:58 You're doing an amazing job with Dare to Dream. 20:00 Thank you for your leadership 20:02 and for the programming that's coming out 20:04 and what God is doing through it. 20:05 Thank you. 20:07 Aunt Francine, talk to us about 20:09 what's going on with Kids Network, 20:10 and I'm very excited specifically 20:13 to hear about an upcoming program 20:14 that's taking place too? 20:16 I will get to that. 20:17 But again, it's relationships 20:19 and these instructions are from God 20:21 and in the Word of God. 20:23 And so, and I want that to be what we're going all about. 20:29 And so with that, 20:31 some of you may have already heard on TV, 20:34 but we have some programs 20:37 during this time that many of them are at home. 20:39 And I've had a lot of testimonies 20:42 about especially even some elderly people saying that 20:46 they wanted to provide resources for the kids 20:49 because some of them are not able to go 20:52 to Sabbath School and have classes. 20:55 And so, a lot of them was trying to meet 20:57 even at somebody's home or maybe outside 20:59 or give them some resources, 21:01 and they didn't have the resources 21:02 because of the COVID situation. 21:05 And so, a lot of them were calling me, 21:07 how can I find out these resources? 21:09 So again, we have some of your resources 21:12 on our COVID-19 tab under the 3abn.org 21:17 or under the kids3abn.tv website. 21:21 And so we have 21:23 these different lessons and this week, 21:24 it's about the seven essential success for kids. 21:29 The armor of God... 21:31 And the armor of God and I forgot, 21:33 I just left it outside the door, 21:34 but I had a little armadillo that, 21:37 it's just outside the door 21:39 but a little armadillo and it rolls up into a ball 21:43 and he just roll up 21:46 and it's the cutest little craft. 21:48 So that's this week 21:49 and it's already available on our website. 21:52 We got someone trying to get that for us, 21:53 so we can see that craft. 21:55 Yeah, because we got to see this. 21:56 Brushing, yeah, and I don't think I left... 21:58 So they can go to 3abn.tv? 22:02 The COVID resource, 22:03 the red button says COVID resource, 22:06 you just click on that and go to kids' section. 22:07 Yeah, fine. 22:09 And so we have little crafts and some little games. 22:11 But yes, this week is about the armor of God 22:13 and they get to write it in and then, 22:15 we've gotten 11 resources so far. 22:18 And, so this is where they can write a little bit. 22:22 There's a little crossword puzzle. 22:24 And now, Jill, it has the little armadillo. 22:26 Oh, look at this. 22:29 And it actually rolls up into a ball. 22:31 So, you know, God is our protection. 22:35 How does it roll into a ball? You get that, Aunt Francine. 22:37 I'm not sure... It's okay. 22:39 Oh, that is cute. 22:41 Don't force it, it'll get angry. 22:44 I'm not going to force anything. 22:46 No, this is him rolled up into a ball 22:49 and he comes out like this. 22:51 So again, how to do it. He sits out like this though. 22:55 If he gets scared... 22:56 He can roll up into a little ball. 22:58 He can roll up into a ball. 22:59 So that's a resource that we have for the kids 23:02 during this time, especially. 23:04 Oh, he's very cute. 23:06 So let's see if we can roll him up 23:07 and keep him in the pot? 23:08 Oh, yeah. Let's see. 23:10 Let's see if we can do that. 23:11 They look different on a table than 23:12 when they do on the side of the road. 23:16 I'm glad it's not crawling, I think. 23:19 You know, I probably 23:21 don't have it just right, in fact. 23:22 Okay, that's great. He goes get into a ball. 23:25 That's creative. 23:26 So this craft actually, 23:27 it corresponds with the lesson for this week, 23:30 which is on the armor of God. 23:32 That's really great. 23:33 So you've got a lesson, craft, quiz, is that right? 23:37 Some kind of game that they can play with the family. 23:40 So they can actually, they can look at this week's 23:42 but they can also look at the previous 10? 23:44 Correct. We are not too far ahead. 23:48 We're a few days ahead, but not a whole week ahead yet. 23:51 We're trying to get there so, but that is something. 23:54 But to answer your question, 23:55 yes, we have some more programming 23:57 that is coming up 23:59 and it is called Jesus My Light. 24:01 And so that is starting on 24:03 June 29 and it's going until July 16... 24:08 So that's three weeks of programming. 24:09 This is recording. 24:11 It was three weeks and I believe I have enough 24:13 participants possibly, 24:15 but I'm always looking for more. 24:18 And so, we're hoping that 24:19 we can do some more programming in the fall, 24:22 so if you're interested, 24:24 I would love to hear from the kids, 24:26 the little kids and parents especially also telling me that 24:30 they are interested in participating. 24:32 So I'm always looking for more participants, 24:35 so they can do that at 3abnkids.tv. 24:39 You can go on the resource tab 24:41 and contact me or my email is 24:44 kids@3abn.org. 24:49 So that's another resource I enjoy hearing from kids. 24:53 But I have to tell you with these lessons, 24:57 there has been some elderly people 24:59 and some of these kids 25:01 are emailing me and saying, you know, 25:04 it is God that is changing my life. 25:07 The kids are emailing or the elderly people? 25:09 Well, sometimes the kids are saying that 25:11 their parents are helping them 25:13 because sometimes they're only eight years old, 25:14 and they're having a hard time typing. 25:17 And there's another time where parents are calling me 25:20 and saying, you know, 25:21 my child wants to give their heart 25:23 to God because of what you're doing. 25:26 And it's not what we're doing per se, 25:28 it's what God's doing. 25:29 That's right. 25:31 And it reminds me of the text in Matthew 25:34 where it talks about, 25:36 unless we become like little children. 25:38 Children do not have any biased opinions. 25:41 They don't have a hidden agenda. 25:43 They are just so pure 25:44 and wanting to find who Jesus is. 25:46 And that's the goal of what we want to do is, 25:48 is to find who Jesus is. 25:51 And so, that's kind of the lead up 25:54 what we're doing but also with that, 25:56 I know you heard in the first hour 25:57 a little bit about radio. 26:00 And so, with that we have a little B-roll 26:02 if the control room can do something on the end, 26:06 you'll get to see a little network puppy. 26:10 She's on there too, and you can even hear her whining. 26:12 So we have a moment for that. 26:14 So we have a new mascot for Kids Network. 26:17 And if the kids come for programming, 26:19 they'll get to meet little Ginger. 26:21 All right. Let's take a look at that. 26:24 Hey, kids, I'm Aunt Francine. 26:26 And I would like to introduce you 26:27 to our newest addition to our Kids Network. 26:30 Her name is Ginger. 26:33 She has many things to learn and a lot of growing to do. 26:37 We would enjoy learning 26:38 how you are going to be more like Jesus. 26:41 I hope you can share your stories with us 26:43 at kids@3abn.org. 26:48 Oh, how precious. 26:51 Ginger is adorable. Yeah. 26:53 So I would like to encourage our viewers and kids 26:56 to participate in either radio 26:59 and we're even talking with Jay Christian 27:01 who was on the first program, 27:03 and we're even considering having kids 27:05 be able to call in to radio 27:08 and share their voices, telling a story. 27:13 So we're considering doing that. 27:15 And that has some more tweaking to do, 27:17 but we would like to hear from kids. 27:20 This is their program 27:21 and it needs to be done by them as much as possible. 27:23 You know, I like that 27:25 because it's really the participation. 27:26 They're not just sitting back as a spectator, so to speak, 27:29 but actually being involved. 27:31 And I think that's really good because to involve children, 27:34 I remember as a child being in Sabbath School and a church, 27:37 they had us involved, 27:39 even if I really didn't want to, 27:40 but just trying to get us involved in scripture, 27:43 being involved in the lesson that was going on. 27:45 I think that's really good. 27:46 And I like what you're encouraging 27:47 to is the family to come together 27:49 and do this together like these lessons and stuff. 27:51 That's really good. 27:52 And again, we never know what kind of leadership skills 27:55 God is working on each child 27:56 because each one has a different gift 27:58 and you never know what God might be doing. 28:00 And I remember 28:02 how we were praying for little Jennifer, 28:04 I don't know if you remember that 28:05 little boy and... 28:07 Tell us if we missed it before? 28:08 Well, he was a really sick little boy 28:11 that was in the hospital. 28:12 And I, we prayed here 28:15 corporately for him several times, 28:17 and we decided to send a little package 28:19 just letting him know that we were thinking of him. 28:21 And it was only a few weeks ago, 28:25 I had another phone call from the mom 28:26 and just saying how much 28:28 he just enjoyed the little gifts 28:30 and just how much he loves 3ABN. 28:32 And he said, he wanted to be sure that 28:35 his mother told me 28:37 because he wasn't speaking as clearly that it is, 28:42 even if he was so sick, and as sick as he was 28:45 and he is not 100% yet. 28:49 It was all worth it because 28:50 other people were coming to Jesus. 28:52 And it's that kind of testimony at that young age, you know, 28:56 recognizing His calling, no matter what. 28:59 And I think that's, and again, 29:01 it comes back to a child to lead them 29:05 and God is really working through these kids, 29:08 and it's because of these kids 29:09 that I have seen parents get baptized several times. 29:14 And so, we never know what kind of little seed 29:17 is planted by these kids. 29:18 Amen. Yeah. 29:20 Thank you for your leadership with Kids Network, 29:21 what you're doing. 29:23 What would you say to a parent, 29:24 maybe who's wanting to introduce 29:26 their child to Jesus? 29:27 Maybe they don't, and they've tried, 29:30 but their kids don't seem really interested. 29:32 How would you encourage them? 29:33 What would you tell them? 29:35 I would just encourage them to learn about who Jesus is. 29:40 And really taking the time, 29:42 it's really that one on one connection with relationship. 29:45 For the parent or the child? 29:47 For the parent first and with the child 29:49 and sometimes that gets strained 29:51 and sometimes, it's really, I remember a time 29:55 when all the neighbors were 29:58 in our backyard eating vegetables 30:00 and the parents were like, 30:01 how in the world that you're getting my child 30:03 to eat raw green beans, for example. 30:05 And it was just because we gave them the time. 30:09 You can't force this. 30:11 It's really on your knees, you know, 30:14 and it's building that relationship with God, 30:17 we almost have to practice it ourselves because you know, 30:20 if we're hypocritical kids see through that. 30:24 And so, we need to be just real. 30:26 And again, you can only introduce, 30:30 but having a child learn to take the Bible and study it 30:34 for themselves like Jesus did. 30:37 And having that time is just a practice and maybe, 30:40 you know, maybe they're not open 30:41 to family worship, 30:43 but any little seed that you can plant 30:45 is finding those opportunities to talk, not for us. 30:49 But especially when there's asking a question, 30:51 that is the time that they're really ready to listen. 30:54 It might be in a totally different topic. 30:56 But there were many times in school, 30:59 we'd be talking about a math problem and I'm like, 31:01 oh, this reminds me of a, you know, 31:03 something that Jesus was talking about. 31:06 And it's just, you can tie in to so many things, 31:09 and it's just finding those opportunities. 31:12 You know, have you been hearing 31:13 from children during this pandemic 31:15 about maybe what's going on or being afraid? 31:18 Absolutely. 31:19 There's many of them are scared. 31:21 And yet, it's the promise that we can find in God 31:24 and they don't need to be afraid 31:26 because God is with them. 31:28 And we need to encourage 31:30 each other and even finding opportunities like 31:33 for grandparents or neighbors or something, 31:35 just to let them know, 31:36 I love hearing about how kids are riding on the sidewalk, 31:40 you know, trying to share somebody on their driveway. 31:42 You know, there's opportunities 31:44 and the kids can still reach out. 31:46 You never know what kind of thing you know, 31:48 my daughter is doing the same thing. 31:49 Sometimes she'd just help somebody walk their dog. 31:53 You know, it's just those little opportunities, 31:55 but we can't just say we're soaking it all up. 31:59 It's by the love of Jesus that goes out. 32:02 That's right. 32:03 Yeah, you don't want to just be a sponge and take it all in 32:05 but you want to give life to somebody, 32:07 to be a vessel. 32:08 Share Jesus. 32:09 So, okay, so again for the contact 32:11 because someone may be just getting 32:12 everything together their pen and their paper and all that. 32:14 So, Aunt Francine, so how, what's the best way, 32:17 give us one address that they can reach you at? 32:19 Okay, my address, 32:20 my email address sorry is kids@3abn.org. 32:26 And that's a good way to get a hold of you 32:28 because if you have any questions, 32:29 if you have any questions about anything 32:30 how to support Kids Network, 32:32 how to get to these lessons 32:33 or how to if they have a question for you or... 32:35 Or participate somehow or I'd like to... 32:38 My child is really good at telling stories 32:41 for example at church. 32:43 And now they don't have that opportunity. 32:44 Maybe they can share their story. 32:46 So read what's on the screen right now, 32:48 kids@3abn.org. 32:50 That is correct. Yeah, that's great. 32:52 It's exciting. Amen. 32:54 I know I'm not a child by age, but I do enjoy this. 32:57 We can be young at heart. Thank you very much. 32:59 Jay, do you mind passing me that armadillo? 33:00 Roll into it. 33:02 I want to set him right here beside me and he will. 33:04 He's not going to come between us. 33:05 Okay, good. I'll just set him right here. 33:09 Because I'm leaving. 33:12 Yes, that's a great craft though. 33:13 Yeah, thank you. Brother Tim Parton. 33:14 Yes. 33:16 Tell us what's going on with the... 33:17 Today, we did some recording today. 33:19 We did. 33:20 Sweetie, you actually spoke, Pastor Kenny spoke. 33:22 This is the 3ABNWorship Hour, so more being recorded. 33:26 Brother Tim, thank you for the ministry of music 33:28 and leading the praise 33:30 and worship part prayer, praise part. 33:32 So that was just today, you were doing more of that. 33:34 Right, yeah. What an honor. 33:36 You know, music is, 33:38 has been just a huge part of my life 33:41 since I was a little kid. 33:43 So sometimes you wonder what role music has. 33:47 I mean, we know it can be a great thing, 33:51 a great tool for ministry, but earlier I was hearing, 33:55 we were talking about evangelism, 33:57 you know, hear, 33:58 how important role or an important thing 34:01 that evangelism is in 3ABN. 34:03 I just a couple months ago, I actually received a message, 34:08 but I didn't find it until just yesterday. 34:11 And it says, from a gentleman in Montreal, "Hi, Tim. 34:17 Hope you're well, I'm unsure 34:18 why I'm writing to you at this moment. 34:20 But to make a long story short, 34:22 I grew up SDA and even studied Bible 34:25 in a self-supportive college in the US. 34:28 Fifteen years later, I do not go to church anymore. 34:32 Last time was over two years ago. 34:34 I do not know anymore 34:35 what I believe and if I even believe. 34:38 I just want to let you know that 34:40 I have found YouTube videos 34:41 of you playing and singing hymns 34:44 and watch those videos. 34:46 It's perhaps the only spiritual thing 34:49 left in my life at the moment. 34:50 Thanks for that." So, you know... 34:53 That's powerful. Yeah, it is powerful. 34:55 And I know we have networks that don't have music. 34:59 Proclaim is a wonderful tool for straight preaching. 35:03 But Praise Him is music, 35:06 we are, and so I'm really blessed 35:08 to be a part of a network 35:10 that has something for everybody. 35:13 And so, our goal is to continue create programming 35:19 that will touch lives like this 35:22 where God can reach in just like 35:24 those seeds that you plant. 35:26 You never know what a song 35:28 that is going to minister to someone, 35:30 and going to change a life 35:31 and hopefully bring this gentleman 35:33 you know, back to Christ. 35:35 So speaking of that, 35:37 we have new programming that we're constantly creating. 35:41 But we've been working on two or three new programs. 35:44 And I guess just the best way to go about it 35:47 is we have a roll that talks about some of that. 35:50 Now, some of our programming, 35:52 we've gone, we're doing some music, 35:54 we're doing some prayer, 35:55 like you said, we're doing testimonies, 35:57 and so actually this roll will show up 35:59 just a bit about each of them, 36:01 I think we can do the roll and then we'll talk about that. 36:04 All right. Let's go to that roll now. 36:05 Okay. 36:16 Anxiety, despair, doubt, dread, panic, suspicion, worry, 36:22 the very mention of those words 36:23 increases my heart rate 36:25 and causes flashbacks of terrible memories. 36:28 But God gives us encouraging words 36:30 in times of fear. 36:31 He says, "I am with you always." 36:34 So when you are uncertain about 36:36 what the future holds, turn your heart to the Lord. 36:39 He is always there. 36:41 Heavenly Father, we know today that 36:44 fears widespread among most of us 36:47 because we don't understand what we see in the news 36:50 and understand what's going on in the world. 36:52 But we do have a clear scripture that says, 36:55 "Let not your heart be troubled." 36:58 And they tell us that in John 14:1. 37:01 I take special heart to that 37:03 and knowing that is the truth from Your Word. 37:07 My Heavenly Father Watches 37:14 Over me 37:25 Thanks for taking this time to pause and pray. 37:27 Please send us your prayer request 37:30 or become a part of our prayer warrior team. 37:32 For more information, please visit 3abn.tv/prayer. 37:40 My music has always been for me a special connection with God. 37:46 My name is Ralph Henderson 37:47 and I am a pastor at the Mills River 37:50 and Brevard Seventh-day Adventist Churches 37:53 here in North Carolina. 37:56 When I was out of the church, people would call me 37:59 and ask me to come sing for church. 38:03 And so music is what 38:04 really kept me connected to the church, 38:07 even when I have wandered away. 38:09 And music for me is something so special 38:12 because it's such a connection for me with God. 38:16 When I sit down to write a song, 38:21 I feel closer to God than at any other time 38:24 because I feel like he's actually there, 38:26 sitting beside me, giving me the words 38:29 and helping me to write the song. 38:34 I think that through my music, 38:36 I have touched probably many people 38:39 that I've never even met. 38:41 I may not even know who they are till the kingdom, 38:44 but I'm looking forward to the day 38:45 maybe someone will come up to me and say, 38:47 the song that you wrote, and they'll say the name 38:50 and they'll say, that's what brought me back to Christ. 38:56 I just try to help people understand 38:58 that the first thing you got to do 39:00 is you got to get Jesus in your life 39:02 and He's got to become 39:03 the number one priority for you. 39:12 Here's a song from the Pillars Hymn CD, 39:15 sung by Tammy Chance, 39:16 whose delicate voice rings with the sentiment of the hymn 39:20 written by James White, What Heavenly Music. 39:25 If Jesus permit 39:30 The wild surges I'll brave 39:35 For that heavenly music 39:40 Hath ravished me so 39:48 Here's our friend Sandra Entermann. 39:52 You are my strength When I am weak 39:56 You are the treasure that 39:58 I see You are my Holy Lord 40:06 I know you'll enjoy this song. 40:08 I sing the goodness of the Lord 40:12 That filled the earth with food He formed the creatures 40:19 With this word And then pronounced them good 40:24 I'm supposed to introduce my pastor, John Lomacang. 40:29 I thought now what am I going to say? 40:30 I don't talk. 40:32 My sister told me to introduce you 40:34 as the man whose shoes I could never fill. 40:41 I guess if you had feet as large as mine, 40:45 I'd really be concerned. 40:46 So that's a good one. 40:47 I'd be tripping. Okay. 40:49 Yes, this is my pastor, a wonderful speaker, 40:51 wonderful singer. 40:53 I appreciate so much, I just want you to know that. 40:57 That is awesome. 40:59 We weren't expecting but that's great. 41:00 Wow! Amen. 41:01 You know how fun, Tim, you know, 41:03 and you know, there's so much music, 41:04 you know, because music 41:05 is such a part of Mr. Danny's life. 41:07 Right. 41:08 And then for this network, 41:10 I know it's just been a dream come true for him, 41:11 you and he have talked so much. 41:12 Thank you for this. 41:14 I'm excited to see all these programs come out. 41:15 So let me just talk about those kind of in reverse 41:17 from the last one is Camp Meeting Classics. 41:20 So we went back and we are repurposing 41:23 a lot of the material, a lot of the songs that 41:26 were performed at the camp meetings 41:27 through the years and thought 41:30 it would just kind of be fun to take a look, 41:31 you know how we all love to go back 41:33 and see how much we've changed. 41:34 Or maybe we don't love it, 41:36 but anyway, it's a fact of life. 41:37 But these are great to just to remember as some, 41:41 we've got some great memories of camp meetings 41:43 that have happened here. 41:45 So we've gone. 41:46 Sorry, I was just going to say the songs are amazing 41:48 and the graphics with that. 41:49 I mean, it's just, it's really nice, 41:51 it's a nice program. 41:52 All right. And what's it, how do you? 41:54 Bermejo, Arody Bermejo. Yes, good for you. 41:57 So, Arody is our editor. 41:59 He's done such a wonderful job in compiling these 42:02 and thanks Arody for getting this even the, 42:06 this roll together on such short notice. 42:08 But, yeah, so that will be a fun, 42:11 that will be a series that we will be. 42:14 We've got a whole lot of stuff 42:15 from the vault that we're exposing, you know, 42:19 reminding people again, 42:20 it's good stuff and has a great message. 42:23 When you hope to launch this one? 42:24 That will be... 42:25 We're on the cusp of, oh, yes, definitely. 42:28 Yeah, in the late summer of this year, 42:30 if not sooner. 42:32 Yeah, so be watching for Camp Meeting Classics. 42:34 Testimony now is a, that's a video production team 42:39 that focuses on the life changing power 42:41 of God's love. 42:43 It's created to share your testimony 42:46 through video ministry, they really, they just go out 42:48 and pick common people, you know, 42:51 just really highlighting the fact 42:53 that we all have a story. 42:55 We have a testimony to tell how God has changed our life. 42:59 And so they do a wonderful job, some great video work 43:01 and actually it's a husband and wife 43:04 and son team that are doing that, that work, 43:07 so we're thrilled to be meeting up, 43:10 teaming up with them, 43:12 but then the Pause to Pray which was the first shot, 43:15 the first roll that we played. 43:18 We're actually, 43:19 you heard somebody's voice on that 43:21 and if you saw my lips aren't moving, 43:23 I'm not practicing my ventriloquist, 43:26 but if you haven't if you don't know 43:30 we also have a... 43:31 3ABN has a podcast called 3ABN, 43:35 this is 3ABN and we're all, 43:38 we're getting close to being where like day 67... 43:43 Sixty, sixty five? Okay, 65. 43:45 Maybe I'm just guessing, 43:46 I listen to it every morning but I missed it this morning. 43:49 I did not listen to it this morning 43:50 so shame on me. 43:52 No, that's okay. Just listen twice tomorrow. 43:54 Okay, thank you. 43:55 So anyway, because we're doing 43:57 the 100 Days of Prayer right now. 43:59 And so those again, 44:02 we're repurposing some of the prayers 44:05 in this Pause to Pray. 44:07 You know, then those prayers are by people, 44:10 employees here on staff at 3ABN. 44:13 So, but the Pause to Pray is a 15-minute program, 44:17 where we just take time to pray over 44:18 some of the needs again from the pastoral, the... 44:22 What's it called? Prayer warrior. 44:24 The prayer warrior email, 44:25 and you can sign up to receive that 44:27 and be a prayer warrior. 44:30 And it's a wonderful thing. 44:32 We also are excited about something, 44:36 the Prayer and Praise Journal. 44:39 It's like sometimes I think that my assistant, 44:41 Rachel Younkin just kind of sits around 44:43 and thinks of things that we can, 44:44 we need to be doing. 44:46 She likes to see me busy. 44:47 So actually, 44:49 but she was really busy on this. 44:50 We have a, just a shot of a Praise and Prayer Journal. 44:54 Oh, nice. Yeah, it's right there. 44:56 Very nice, that's her sign. So yeah, that's the end. 44:58 Well, the first page, day one of our journal 45:02 that it has a hymn, a place where you can give 45:05 a praise and a prayer. 45:08 And then my cohort Ryan Day, and myself and Rachel Younkin 45:14 have written a little devotions for each day. 45:18 And so, we have 31, 45:21 it's a 31-day Prayer and Praise journal. 45:24 So that will be coming out too, as soon as we get. 45:28 We've just, we were proofing a cover today. 45:31 And so all these things are coming together, 45:35 so it's exciting. 45:36 Oh, you're really excited. 45:38 I just want to make sure that I'm not missing anything. 45:40 We praise him today, much like the... 45:43 Your flagship.
