Absolutely. 08:12 So if you want to have some farming suggestion, 08:14 it feels like we might be needing 08:16 some here tonight. 08:18 You know, 08:19 a couple of other items of businesses 08:21 that 3ABN is blessed Mr. Danny 08:22 to have a great board of directors. 08:25 And, of course, with a number of board members 08:26 come in from outside 08:28 and we have the meeting just recently, 08:29 we had our recent board meeting here 08:31 just a couple of weeks ago, about a week or so ago. 08:33 And it was an incredible blessing. 08:35 I know that the board of directors 08:36 through the years, 08:38 of course, have been a tremendous support 08:39 to the Ministry of 3ABN. 08:40 And I just want to report to you 08:42 talking what Mr. Danny is saying 08:43 along with what he's saying about reporting to you. 08:46 And that is a good meeting. 08:47 Now the Lord is blessing in marvelous ways. 08:49 You know, He continues to provide 08:52 for the Ministry of 3ABN. 08:54 I'm living this now, 08:55 you know, as my different role as the administrator, 08:58 but you've seen this over and over again 08:59 through the years, 09:01 but what a great report 09:02 at the most recent board meeting we had. 09:03 Absolutely. 09:05 Everything considered COVID, you know, running rapid, 09:09 all the stuff that's going on, 09:11 all the things that our folk are dealing with, 09:13 you know, and here, 09:15 and then with all the politics and all the things going. 09:19 I mean, you've got, 09:20 you know, so many things here in America right now 09:23 we're facing and cities being destroyed. 09:25 I mean, all kinds of stuff. 09:27 And yet people continue to support. 09:30 And it seems like 09:32 just when we're down at the bottom, Tim, 09:34 somebody will send a large gift 09:36 and make up that difference. 09:38 And we've had it happen 09:39 a couple of times this summer, right? 09:41 We're down to the bottom and all of a sudden, 09:42 the Lord provides and then we're back even, 09:45 you know, always we never have had a lot of money in the bank, 09:49 you know, at least it was not spoken for. 09:51 Yeah, they earmark it for certain, 09:53 so you put it till you use it. 09:54 But somehow 09:56 we really hardly have very little money in the bank, 09:58 but we're always able to pay the bills, 10:00 I mean, year after year, 10:01 so we couldn't do it without you. 10:03 So thank you for your love and your prayers. 10:04 I want to testify to that 10:06 because Jill and I just a couple of weeks ago 10:07 were Sunday evening and we were praying 10:10 as we were getting ready to go to bed 10:12 and just praying that God would do a miracle 10:13 because we needed it here at 3ABN 10:16 providing for our needs. 10:17 We know He does, and has, and He will, 10:20 we just weren't sure how. 10:22 And Monday morning, those, 10:24 the ladies that opened the mail came in and they said, 10:26 Greg, I want to take a look at a check. 10:28 And they showed me the check. 10:30 And, boy, it brought tears to my eyes 10:32 because God had once again provided for this ministry, 10:36 just when we needed it. 10:38 It brings tears to my eyes now because man, 10:40 God already had that check in the mail. 10:42 And He was at the post office 10:43 and here we were on Sunday saying 10:45 God, we need something this week 10:47 and there it was and, wow, 10:48 we're just seeing again, God blessed. 10:50 He answered your prayers before you ask. 10:52 That's right. 10:54 And we're talking about... Go ahead. 10:55 I was just going to say it's amazing. 10:56 I know. 10:58 We won't belabor the point, 10:59 but I know you've talked for years, Mr. Danny, 11:01 about how God has provided for this ministry 11:02 and to hear the story is just amazing. 11:05 But to actually see it, it's even different. 11:08 You know, hearing is one thing and that's amazing. 11:11 But to see it and to walk it and to live it 11:13 and to know that, wow, God really is faithful, 11:17 and God does provide 11:18 for the needs of His children so... 11:20 Honestly, I can't tell you how much joy it brings me. 11:23 Yvonne can tell you. 11:24 When you guys call us and say, 11:25 would you believe what just happened? 11:27 This happened. We prayed about it. 11:29 And we're like, all right, this is absolutely incredible 11:32 because like you say, 11:34 living it is different than just hearing about it. 11:36 And now, you guys, you're on your knees praying 11:38 and then all of a sudden, 11:40 there's just what you need 11:41 and you see it time and time again 11:43 things look, somebody's upset, 11:45 they don't like this, they don't like that. 11:47 And you say, oh, boy, you know, how's this is going to affect, 11:50 you know, up, down, all of a sudden back up. 11:53 All we found out 11:55 is if we're true to the message, 11:57 the Lord impressed us to give 11:58 an undiluted three angels' messages 12:00 one that would counteract a counterfeit. 12:02 So what I've found out 12:04 as long as 3ABN continues not to compromise, 12:08 but to give the three angels' messages 12:09 to the world, 12:11 God's going to continue to bless. 12:13 It won't always be easy. 12:14 And you might lose a little sleep now 12:16 and then or you might be worried a little bit. 12:19 I mean, when I came in, 12:21 we had to have $90,000 to pay transponder bills. 12:24 Mollie can tell you. 12:26 And so that morning, the mail hadn't come in yet. 12:29 And she said, "Today's the last day." 12:31 We'd already gone like two or three weeks over, 12:34 they give you just a couple weeks over. 12:36 Whatever it was, I don't remember the exact time 12:39 but we needed, we were short. 12:40 We looked at all the money we had. 12:42 Transponder bill is about 250,000 12:44 but we were short 90,000. 12:45 That's for a month. 12:47 And so we had to have that money. 12:49 So I came out from the program, 12:53 Mollie's like, "You know, that money's not here." 12:55 And so, you know, we're going through, 12:57 you know, some of the mail but it's not there yet. 13:00 I said, "It will be, we're going to do the program." 13:02 Soon as it's over, I'll come back, 13:03 so I come back and go into office 13:05 and I say it, 13:06 "All right, Mollie, tell me what happened?" 13:08 She said, it didn't come. 13:10 I said, "We don't have the 90,000?" 13:12 She said, "No, we got maybe, 13:14 you know, 6 or 8000 or 10,000 maybe today was all," 13:18 and she said, "It's just not there." 13:20 And it just kind of threw me because I'm like, 13:22 wait a minute, the Lord's always supplies, 13:23 are you telling me 13:25 maybe we're gonna have go off the air? 13:26 We never have. 13:28 And so literally sitting beside on her desk, 13:31 and a little, there was an envelope 13:33 that had a green wrap around. 13:34 Okay. 13:35 And I said, "What's that letter?" 13:37 She said, "Oh, I don't know that's for you." 13:39 She said, it was, it says personal 13:41 to Danny Shelton, 13:42 and they don't open if you write in personal. 13:45 So I said, okay, I open up. 13:47 I promise you and with witnesses around, 13:49 it was, I've forwarded the time and Mollie, 13:52 we opened it up 13:53 and somebody wrote a check for $90,000. 13:56 One person said they were impressed, 13:59 like the urgency with which we needed 14:01 this $90,000 and they sent it. 14:04 We were able to put it in and wire it that afternoon 14:07 and wired the whole amount. 14:09 I mean, we've seen that over and over and over. 14:12 It's incredible, it's encouraging. 14:14 It's definitely a walk of faith. 14:16 Sure. 14:17 Talking about... 14:18 You're having fun doing, right? 14:20 We are. Yeah. 14:21 I'm learning, you know, 14:22 because I do have a few times, right, 14:24 my sleep is not the best, I worry a little bit 14:25 but why worry, God's got this so, yeah. 14:27 And that's thanks to you. 14:29 I wanted to, we get lots of letters here at 3ABN 14:31 and I wanted to read this letter. 14:32 This is a special letter that came in from a viewer, 14:36 supporter and it's and I'll just read it here. 14:39 It says, "Dear 3ABN, when I asked my son Josiah, 14:44 who was five years old, 14:46 who we wanted to help by giving a donation. 14:49 I made several suggestions, 14:50 children that are hungry, orphans, 14:52 those that might be in prison, etc. 14:55 He said no to all of these options. 14:57 So I asked him, 14:59 who would you like to donate to? 15:00 He said 3ABN at five years old." 15:04 All right. "I asked him why? 15:06 He said because they were nice to me." 15:09 That's precious. Where was that? 15:12 It's coming I think. Yes. 15:14 "Earlier this year we had the opportunity 15:16 to meet you at Loma Linda. 15:18 That was for a winter camp meeting. 15:19 It was a wonderful experience for our entire family. 15:22 And little Josiah remembered that his mother says, 15:25 "I'm glad that he decided to donate to 3ABN 15:28 this $50 is what he has donated to 3ABN." 15:32 And then it says, "God bless you all." 15:33 And little Josiah, he signed his name. 15:36 Josiah, five years old 15:40 believes in the ministry of 3ABN. 15:41 I wish our viewers could meet him. 15:43 You know, I'm beginning to think 15:45 that he might be here with us. 15:47 Yay! Yes. 15:49 Josiah and Mom and Dad, are you there with us? 15:53 Yes, hello. Hello. 15:56 Hey Josiah. 15:57 The entire family.

You're welcome. 20:23 Thanks for you, buddy. 20:24 Thank you, Josiah, for you're here. 20:26 I'll let you have this pen. We can work on signing this. 20:28 Yeah. 20:29 But we want to say thank you, Josiah, again. 20:31 You're an inspiration to us and I know too many others 20:34 when this letter came across our desks here at 3ABN, 20:37 we're like, wow, look at that. 20:40 Thank you again for your heart for evangelism and for others. 20:45 And I think this is the beautiful thing 20:46 $50 that's going to make 20:48 a mighty big difference in the world 20:50 for bringing souls to Jesus Christ. 20:51 Absolutely. 20:54 So we're going to say, we say goodbye to them, 20:55 but we're going to work on just signing our names 20:57 to the underside of this brim. 20:58 You know, I think about all those, 20:59 you're going to say something, Tim. 21:01 I was just going to say, you know, that we saw, 21:02 they saw us, we saw them at the camp meeting 21:05 and since I have been here, 21:07 well, even before I joined full time 21:09 I've been coming to the camp meetings 21:11 and have always been so impressed 21:15 at the money that is spent, Mr. Danny, 21:19 on food, free food, on the children's programming. 21:24 We've got something going on 21:25 while all the adults are in there 21:27 in the sanctuary learning the truth. 21:31 We've got kids' programming going on. 21:33 Yeah. 21:34 And, I mean it's a phenomenal, 21:37 phenomenally well programmed and planned camp meeting. 21:41 And so, there's a payoff right there. 21:44 And so, for that little feller to... 21:47 for his takeaway for his mom 21:49 for the parents to feel confident 21:51 in teaching that is going on. 21:54 It's a powerful thing. 21:55 So there is no expense too great 21:57 when it comes to, for camp meeting. 22:01 And I commend the parents 22:03 because train up a child in a way, 22:05 going when he's old, he will not depart from it. 22:07 So they're obviously feeding him now. 22:10 Had they been turning on Disney 22:12 ever since he was two years old, 22:14 watching whatever, 22:16 then he wouldn't be that interested 22:18 in the 3ABN programming and all that he's done. 22:22 So that's for the rest of the parents 22:24 watching right now, remember, you are... 22:28 the children are in your hands and you mold them. 22:31 So the prayer, the Bible studies, 22:33 the time together, 22:35 taking them to the church, 22:36 getting them to participate in things they like to do 22:39 and fun things is a great opportunity 22:44 and a great blessing. 22:45 So, for those of you at home, 22:47 remember the Lord has given you these young children 22:51 to make sure that they spend eternity with Jesus. 22:53 Amen. Amen. 22:55 It was a joy to talk to them to the Smith family. 22:57 I want to encourage you at home to pray for them 22:59 for Eric and Janae, and their son Josiah. 23:01 And speaking of camp meeting, 23:04 you were talking about camp meaning, Tim, 23:05 we are having a fall camp meeting coming up. 23:09 The dates are September 24 through 26. 23:13 We've received a great deal of emails and phone calls 23:17 and messages in the office, 23:19 from those of you who say, 23:20 are you having fall camp meeting? 23:21 And we're not sure what's going on due to COVID. 23:24 So we are having a fall camp meeting. 23:28 However, we can only have 23:30 so many people in our worship center 23:32 because of social distancing. 23:34 So we're following 23:36 the regulations here in Illinois. 23:37 This means we can only have a limited number of you come 23:41 for fall camp meeting. 23:43 So right now tonight, our website is up. 23:45 All of the details aren't there yet, 23:48 but you can go to 3abn.TV 23:51 and then click on the camp meeting banner ad 23:53 and the information is there. 23:54 What we want you to do at home is to register. 23:58 It's important 23:59 because this way 24:00 only people who register will be allowed to attend, 24:03 this way we know how many people will be coming. 24:05 So make sure that you register and say 24:07 yes, you want to come, 24:08 of course, we still have the RV parks. 24:10 Or you can stay, or you can tent 24:12 or stay in a local hotel 24:14 and just register 24:16 say how many of you are planning to come. 24:18 And, of course, if you have kids 24:20 what the ages of your children are. 24:22 We want to do everything we can to socially distance. 24:24 Our special featured speaker for fall camp meeting 24:29 is Pastor John Lomacang. 24:31 And he's a student of the Word. 24:33 I love to hear him open up the Word of God. 24:36 He's doing a special four-part series 24:38 on the three angels' messages. 24:41 And the title is "Turn up the Light, " 24:45 which is a great title. 24:46 Turn up the light? Turn up the light. 24:49 I like that. 24:50 And, of course, we'll have 24:52 the rest of the 3ABN family there 24:53 and music and seminars and all of that. 24:54 That's interesting title, 24:56 not turn on the light, turn up the light. 24:59 Maybe there's a winner we're going to... 25:01 Make it even better. 25:02 Yeah, it's a good title that's for sure. 25:05 Yes, so Jason, 25:06 we've had a busy week Dare to Dream Network. 25:10 Tell us about the exciting programs 25:11 that were recorded this week here at 3ABN? 25:13 Ah, man. 25:14 Well, if we just saw little Josiah. 25:16 Yes. 25:17 And we just recorded a Father's Heart. 25:20 So a Father's Heart basically it features 25:22 different individuals that are fathers, 25:26 they talk about their childhood 25:27 and what their relationship was like with their father 25:31 or lack thereof. 25:32 And then they talk about what they're doing 25:34 in their kid's life or lives, as well. 25:38 And so, we see, 25:40 you can see the product of a good Christian upbringing, 25:44 especially when you have two parents in the household. 25:47 I think that's very important. 25:49 You know, a lot of things that bad things stem 25:52 from when single parent households 25:54 for the most part, 25:55 and so there's some topics we've talked about, 25:59 like the fathers' embrace 26:01 protecting our children from home. 26:04 From home? 26:05 From harm. 26:06 Thank you, good catch, from harm. 26:08 That's an interesting one. Yeah, I know it, right? 26:11 We keep for that whole remedy for some people. 26:14 Protecting them from harm. 26:17 And then we've got table for two, 26:19 me and my enemy teaching our children 26:21 how to love their enemies as Christ tells us. 26:24 I mean, there's a wide variety of topics, 26:27 but really making the gospel practical 26:31 because it is practical, 26:33 but bringing out the practicality of the gospel 26:35 and instilling it in the children. 26:37 Amen. Yeah, that's great. 26:39 So, Jason, when these become available, 26:40 because now it has to go to post production, 26:42 there's a little bit of editing done. 26:43 So the best way 26:45 and this is a plug for social media. 26:46 So I want you to plug this is that we've got Instagram, 26:48 that's the way these people could be notified 26:50 when the programs available, Facebook. 26:52 Yes, Facebook, 26:53 or if you go to our YouTube channel. 26:56 We're trying to get things uploaded 26:59 rather quickly as soon as it hits the air, 27:01 we want to try and get it on YouTube. 27:03 So Dare to Dream's YouTube channel 27:06 is D2D network TV 27:08 where you can just go to the website one stop shop, 27:11 which is D2D 27:13 and that's the number 2, dnetwork.TV. 27:17 And all of the social media handles 27:19 are up there. 27:20 Yeah, that's fantastic. 27:22 We want to encourage you too 27:23 because 3ABN is trying to be 27:25 more and more active in social media. 27:26 So if you, far as notify you of special events, 27:29 special programs, special live programs, 27:31 things like that. 27:32 We encourage you to join like Instagram, Facebook, 27:34 and of course part of our email. 27:37 You can be part of our email group as well. 27:40 So, Tim, I see a new book in front of you. 27:45 And it's missing a couple of pieces 27:46 that go with it. 27:48 Right. 27:49 But it's actually part of, 27:50 I believe we have the graphic for, 27:52 we got a special offer and thing going on 27:53 with Praise Him Network. 27:55 As you see there on the screen we have, 27:56 it's a Prayer and Praise journal 27:58 and a double CD set that goes with that. 28:01 So this is a 31 page or a 31 day journal. 28:05 And each day has a hymn, a verse, 28:10 and a devotion 28:12 and then a great space for writing praise 28:17 and prayer requests or some kind of, 28:19 you know, whatever you want to write it, 28:20 journal, you know, 28:22 whatever that the hymn may trigger a comment 28:25 or a thought in your mind. 28:27 So, yeah, we've been working on this 28:28 all year to 28:31 and never realized 28:32 how much there was to designing 28:35 and, but really, really thrilled 28:37 with the outcome of it. 28:38 It's a nice size and like I say, 28:40 it's 31 days there. 28:42 So each on the double CD set, there are 31 songs or hymns, 28:47 and they are sung by many people 28:51 that you will see on Praise Him. 28:54 Wintley Phipps, Yvonne Shelton, Ryan Day, 28:57 Naomi Jackson, Moses Brown, Matt Throgmorton, 29:01 Jared and Hillary Mitchell, Ben Jenkins, Vanessa Aldana, 29:05 Vonda Beerman and many others. 29:07 So are they singing the songs that's printed right here? 29:09 Yeah.

I tell you. 43:16 Now, we talked about in just the last few minutes, 43:19 and we're going to pass this hat around. 43:20 There's a reason we're passing the hat around. 43:22 It's actually for a young man by the name of Josiah, 43:24 five years old that donated $50 to 3ABN. 43:28 We talked to him just a few moments ago. 43:29 So since you joined, we're going to pass this hat. 43:31 And you can sign your names too. 43:33 We promised him that everyone on the set 43:35 will have the opportunity, Jorge... 43:37 And Aunt Francine because Josiah loved meetings 43:41 and his mom talked about that, 43:43 Janae about how she felt so confident 43:45 that she could leave him 43:47 and know that he loved his meetings 43:48 and so they were part of winter camp meeting, 43:51 you know, at Loma Linda, so thank you, Aunt Francine. 43:52 That was a lot of fun. It was a lot of fun. 43:55 Before we get into those reports, Mr. Danny, 43:56 a quick update, 43:57 exciting things happening 43:59 with the "COVID-19, what's next?" booklet. 44:00 Again, we continue to get mail correspondence to 3ABN emails 44:04 about the positive response already 44:06 and people being positively affected 44:08 by this book and it's reaching lives. 44:09 So how many books have been printed 44:11 that are out there right now? 44:12 Actually, we're up to 6 million in English, 44:15 yes, 6 million. 44:16 That's incredible. 44:18 Almost all of them have been mailed. 44:19 I think there's still some that's been in the mail 44:21 this week or what have you. 44:22 But basically, they have been 44:24 and millions have received them. 44:26 And then there's a half a million in Spanish 44:29 and so we praise the Lord for that. 44:31 So I think it's a total 6 million, 44:33 5.5 English and a half million Spanish, 44:36 so that's a lot of books and thank you. 44:39 And you know, the Lord opened it up 44:40 for 40 cents literally, 44:43 that pays for a book 44:45 and the mailing to zip code anywhere in America. 44:48 So people continue to do that 44:51 and so we thank you for what you've done 44:54 because the whole back of the book 44:56 tells the folk all the ways they can get 3ABN. 44:59 Maybe they could get a shot at Greg 45:02 if you could zoom in on that. 45:04 So that tells you 45:05 all the different ways you can get 3ABN, 45:07 watch 3ABN, listen into 3ABN, 45:09 so while the pamphlet's only a little booklet 45:12 where it's 16-18 pages. 45:14 The beauty of it 45:16 is we don't give the whole message 45:18 but we do give the message that God is love. 45:20 And no matter what folk say, 45:22 we serve a loving God and that sin is of the devil. 45:26 And so, this little booklet 45:28 kind of exonerates 45:29 the character of God from Scripture. 45:31 And but, then people that are interested, 45:35 know how they can tune in and watch or listen to 3ABN. 45:39 So again, thank you for your participation 45:41 for those of you who given and donated for that 45:44 because many of you have covered 45:46 zip codes in your area. 45:47 So your whole cities, 45:49 your whole town is getting these books 45:51 because you cared enough to say okay, 45:53 there's so many zip codes, you call 3ABN and said okay, 45:57 there's 1,000 in my zip code or 2,000, sometimes five, 46:00 well, I'll put 40 cents apiece, 46:02 that includes the books and the shipping. 46:05 And so your friends and neighbors, 46:07 hopefully your churches open up, 46:08 there people going to be wanting to come in 46:11 and go to church and get to know you. 46:13 Amen. 46:14 Oh yeah, it's win-win. Go ahead. 46:15 So we want to encourage you tonight, 46:17 the call center is open. 46:18 So you can give us a call at 618-627-4651. 46:23 That number again is 618-627-4651. 46:27 Or you can email us at Live, Live@3abn.org. 46:33 That's Live@3abn.org 46:36 or I see on the screen it says.TV 46:38 I think either way it's going to get to us. 46:40 So this book, as Danny already mentioned, 46:43 is an incredible opportunity to partner together 46:47 to get the gospel in your neighborhood. 46:49 So for just 40 cents a booklet, you can sponsor, 46:52 a zip code mailing in your community 46:55 or you can say, hey, I want to donate $20 46:58 for the Prayer and Praise journal, 47:01 which means you get the two CDs, 47:04 the 31 songs there 47:05 and the journal goes along with it. 47:07 So we just came out of three weeks 47:11 of incredibly intense kids programs. 47:14 Can I just before we go to that. 47:15 Yeah. 47:16 I want to just actually just talk about this 47:18 just really quick, because there's been, 47:19 some of you've been ordering this actually by the case, 47:21 or maybe 100, 250 or so like, 47:23 and in boxes, 47:24 I don't know how many come in a box, 480? 47:25 Four eighty. 47:27 Four hundred and eighty in a box. 47:28 So some of you have been buying them 47:30 by the case. 47:31 And as the COVID regulations 47:32 have been releasing a little bit, 47:34 you've been going out and actually handing them out 47:35 or putting them in the mail. 47:36 There's been a little bit of confusion. 47:38 Here in this corner, 47:39 there's a little thing that looks like a stamp. 47:41 So some of you have thought that the postage has been paid 47:43 and not put a stamp on this, 47:44 when you put it in someone else, 47:46 like mailed it in your own neighborhood. 47:48 And so these are coming back to us 47:50 or not even being delivered. 47:51 So you need to put a stamp 47:53 actually over this little bulk postage thing 47:55 that we have here. 47:56 This is actually when it's sent out in bulk. 47:58 That doesn't mean that it's actually covered 47:59 and you can put it 48:01 in your post office without a stamp. 48:02 So make sure that you actually put a stamp 48:04 because we've had a number of them returned. 48:06 So those who do the zip code, you don't have to do anything, 48:09 yours is already paid. 48:10 But if you're ordering by the cases 48:13 to pass out yourself or to mail out, 48:15 then you do have to put a stamp on that 48:17 because you're paying the cost or the price of the book 48:21 and not the postage already when you order by bulk. 48:24 Thank you. 48:25 So you're just paying the shipping 48:26 it takes to get to you. 48:28 That would be for you to do that. 48:29 But the easy way, of course, is just to... 48:31 Let us do. And here's the other thing. 48:33 We didn't really plan on printing more, 48:36 because we were hoping 48:38 and it seemed like the COVID thing was passing. 48:41 But now all across America, 48:44 we just, some of the countries 48:46 that I just found out yesterday Bahamas 48:48 is not allowing people from the States to come 48:51 and we're getting such, 48:52 even in Southern Illinois we have very little, 48:54 that's climbing right now. 48:56 And so the book is still, 49:01 you know, can reach a lot of people 49:02 who really haven't reached. 49:04 If you still want them, 49:06 depending on how many you order, 49:08 we could see about getting more. 49:10 But I just, 49:11 we were hoping this thing would be behind us 49:13 and we're looking on ahead, 49:14 but as long as the cases keep skyrocketing 49:18 all around America, 49:19 then the books still available to pass out, 49:23 you know, or to have mailed to the zip codes. 49:25 Still very relevant. That's for sure. 49:27 Yeah. 49:28 So you're messing about the three weeks, 49:30 I'll let you pitch to that. 49:31 So tell us I know you've been doing 49:33 two different programs 49:34 Jesus My Light and Creation is Science 49:36 or is that Science is Creation? 49:38 Creation is science. 49:39 Okay. Sorry. I always confused that. 49:41 No, we're hoping to do 49:43 other segments like that creation is 49:45 and that's why we did it that way. 49:47 And yes, thankful for a wonderful team 49:50 that just took on board. 49:51 They saw the vision 49:52 and just a phenomenal staff that helped us out 49:55 and phenomenal kids. 49:57 So I'm thankful for those parents 49:59 that brought their kids in for recording. 50:01 So thank you. 50:03 Definitely that was a wonderful time. 50:04 And then with Jesus My Light 50:06 we did a little bit of Bible segments 50:09 that will be 50:10 part of a tree house, hopefully, 50:12 a segment that we're hoping to air 50:14 in August or September sometimes so. 50:16 Get to record? 50:17 Looking to record. Thank you. 50:19 Sorry, to record. 50:20 Thank you for correcting me, yes to record. 50:23 We need more editor editing time 50:25 for that for sure but we're looking for it. 50:26 So what is Jesus My Light about? 50:28 Let's start with that one. 50:29 Let's start with the theme 50:30 and what the programs are about. 50:32 The idea is that Jesus is our example. 50:34 And so we want children of all ages 50:37 to find the example of Jesus 50:39 and that Jesus His character, 50:42 again, His character is so valuable 50:45 that we can mimic His light and so, 50:48 and just be a reflection of His light. 50:50 And so that was it. 50:51 That is the theme and the goal for these segments 50:53 that we hope to do 50:55 and even with the Bible scenes that we did earlier 50:58 is portraying a little bit of His character 51:00 and hopefully the kids can see what Jesus was like. 51:04 So what were some of the Bible scenes 51:05 that then were shot? 51:07 One of them was Nicodemus 51:08 that really stuck out to me for that reason. 51:10 I think we had a lot of fun with that one, 51:12 because Nicodemus was a little bit shy maybe 51:16 and yet he wanted to find truth. 51:18 And I think that's the same for all of us 51:20 is that we want to find the truth of Jesus 51:23 and who Jesus is. 51:24 And so, at least he wanted to seek 51:25 Jesus out. 51:27 And so that's one that really stuck to me. 51:30 And we recorded, was it about 13 or 14 episodes? 51:33 We actually completed 12. 51:36 We have a few more to finish. 51:39 It was a new concept. 51:40 And Jorge can talk about it a little bit, 51:43 but the way we filmed was totally different as well. 51:47 And so having a storyboard and coming up with ways 51:50 to portray that character of Jesus 51:52 was really a way 51:54 that it took a team effort to do 51:57 because we didn't want that to not reflect who Jesus was. 52:01 And so it took, 52:02 it took a vision of all of us to work together. 52:05 Amen. 52:07 So, Jorge, you had like 10 cameras 52:09 shooting these Bible segments. 52:11 Tell us a little bit about that 52:12 because it was a little different way 52:14 with it we shot it this time. 52:15 Yes, we did this with one camera. 52:17 One camera Just one camera. 52:18 Wow. Yes. 52:19 That's impressive. It is. 52:21 Well, the way that Francine, 52:26 Aunt Francine as described this is that they're very accurate. 52:30 She came up with the idea. 52:32 She created the script. 52:34 She wrote a script that helped us a lot 52:36 in creating the storyboards, which, again, the team, 52:40 we have been blessed with the team that we have. 52:43 So the team created this storyboard. 52:46 Then we took that storyboard to the set. 52:50 And we followed every scene that was already drawn 52:55 and we used one camera 52:58 and we did this as type of cinematic, 53:02 cinematic graphic type of thing. 53:03 So we are changing the cameras every time 53:06 that we had a different scene and we created this ambiance. 53:11 It was phenomenal. 53:13 I really it was like being there. 53:15 But the most, the touching part is that 53:18 these are all children, 53:21 kids portraying the life of Jesus 53:24 is almost making more, making me emotional 53:26 remembering that, 53:28 that you describe it Nicodemus, 53:30 but also I remember the women at the well, 53:33 it was such a powerful little exchange there 53:36 between Jesus and the woman and they, 53:38 it was so beautiful. 53:39 I was little bit concerned about the scene 53:41 but then it was so beautiful, 53:42 so pure so 53:44 and it's going to be an amazing thing 53:46 when this project is done. 53:49 Amen. Praise the Lord. 53:51 I know that just last week we had a special person 53:54 that many of you 53:55 that have watched 3ABN for years would recognize 53:58 and who did we have with us recording? 53:59 Professor Roy, 54:00 back then we called him Ben Roy. 54:02 But we called him Professor Roy on the set. 54:05 So he was a delight and had, 54:06 I mean, we had loud noises and trash can 54:09 over 60 feet up in the air 54:11 that the camera couldn't even follow. 54:13 But it was just wonderful. 54:14 The kids had a blast, literally. 54:16 So some of these were shot outside, 54:18 obviously not in the studio, 54:19 because yeah, 60 feet in the air. 54:21 That's way up there. 54:22 But then there were some experiments 54:23 that were done, like walking on eggs. 54:25 So I understand and they didn't break. 54:27 No. Isn't that right? 54:28 Well, we had little practice on them 54:32 in the beginning but... 54:34 But why did you, Ben Roy said, what was he talking about? 54:36 What's the name of the program that he... 54:38 It was Creation Is and then Science 54:40 and that's something that we did together 54:43 because hopefully in the future, 54:44 we'll have others that could participate as well. 54:47 But yes, he did some phenomenal experiments. 54:49 And again, he exemplifies who Jesus is. 54:52 I mean, just the way he talks to the kids. 54:55 He lets them play with magnets. 54:56 He lets them play with anything 54:58 while we're getting ready for the set. 54:59 You can tell he has that teacher's heart. 55:03 And so that just made it come alive for the kids. 55:06 They really enjoyed it so... 55:07 It was really good to have him come back. 55:09 And I know that we have a role we want to go to, 55:11 but we're running out of time here in this first hour, 55:14 so we're going to have to roll that 55:15 just the beginning of the second hour, 55:17 but I know it was good to see him 55:18 because he's come here, 55:19 of course, for a number of years. 55:21 You were on the set, I know a number of kids. 55:22 I met some families from out west, 55:25 that were here and were on the set, 55:26 but it just tells about, 55:28 you know, the science is something you can learn 55:29 but also teaching how God is in science. 55:32 And it's just powerful lessons. 55:34 I was there outside 55:35 because some of them were shot outside and it was amazing. 55:38 There was one where he shot this football 55:40 and he went way out in the grass. 55:41 Everyone was safe. 55:42 Of course everyone is safe, but it's just incredible 55:45 because he has had the opportunity going around 55:47 and doing these at schools 55:49 but because of COVID-19 all that's been shut down 55:51 just like the musicians 55:53 and travel and do concerts and things like that, 55:55 but it's a blessing to have him here. 55:57 It was pretty neat wasn't, Jorge, 55:58 to see the setup for that? 56:00 Yes, we set up outside 56:01 that the segment that had to be outside. 56:05 So we set up all the tents and with the cameras outside, 56:08 it was a... 56:09 We were blessed 56:11 because the weather was just perfect 56:13 for those two days. 56:14 And then we had rain and everything 56:16 except for those two days, 56:18 we were able to get all those scenes. 56:20 And that's wonderful. Yeah. Yeah. 56:22 Well, you got to tell us 56:23 what's happened in the second hour 56:25 because we're almost out of time here 56:26 in the first one... 56:28 Well, we got a role I want to see 56:29 because I haven't seen that role yet. 56:30 So I'm excited about that. 56:32 And I know Aunt Francine is going to talk to us 56:33 a little bit more about kids' network 56:35 and what's coming up in some programming 56:37 that you can be involved 56:38 or you can bring your young people 56:40 and be involved. 56:41 We're going to Skype in 56:43 with Pastor Philip Baptiste and Steve Dickman. 56:46 Of course, Steve Dickman is the president of ASI. 56:48 And Philip Baptiste 56:50 is the secretary treasurer of ASI. 56:52 And ASI will be here next week. 56:56 We will be bringing you live meetings, virtual ASI. 57:00 So we have all the details for that the second hour. 57:03 We're also going to hear from Moses Primo, 57:05 who's our director of Engineering and Broadcasting 57:08 and he's going to give us an update on 3ABN Francais. 57:11 And we're also going to hear from JD Quinn. 57:15 He is pastoral department manager 57:17 and we're going to hear 57:18 what's going on in the pastoral department. 57:20 So we got a full second hour. 57:22 Yes, we absolutely do. 57:23 So we want you to make sure that you stay tuned 57:25 during this two-minute break, grab a drink of water, 57:28 call a friend and say hey, you better join 3ABN 57:30 and see what's going on 57:31 because God is doing marvelous things. 57:33 That's thanks to you. 57:34 So thank you for joining us this first hour. 57:36 We will be right back. |
