00:01:42.06\00:01:44.33

00:01:44.37\00:01:48.50

And let's gather around

00:01:58.25\00:02:00.72
and how we can get this
gospel to all the world.
00:02:00.75\00:02:04.35
And we have some special guests.
00:02:04.39\00:02:06.02
We have ASI in the building.
00:02:06.05\00:02:08.29
It's a blessing to
have the President of ASI,
00:02:08.32\00:02:10.66
Brother Steve Dickman,
00:02:10.69\00:02:12.09
and we also have
00:02:12.13\00:02:13.46
the Vice
President of Evangelism,
00:02:13.50\00:02:15.33
Brother Rodney Bowes down there,
00:02:15.36\00:02:17.40
all the way down there
at the end of the table.
00:02:17.43\00:02:19.97
We're sitting at this big table,
00:02:20.00\00:02:21.34
it looks like
you're so far away.
00:02:21.37\00:02:22.70
But we're trying to practice
good social distancing here.
00:02:22.74\00:02:25.47
But we have a powerful two hours
00:02:25.51\00:02:27.74
in which we're
going to be talking about
00:02:27.78\00:02:29.11
a new, wonderful,
exciting evangelistic effort
00:02:29.14\00:02:32.41
that ASI is initiating,
00:02:32.45\00:02:34.75
and they're inviting you.
00:02:34.78\00:02:36.18
That's right, me, you
00:02:36.22\00:02:37.55
and everyone around
the world to participate.
00:02:37.59\00:02:39.69
But before we get into that,
00:02:39.72\00:02:41.62
before we give our
formal introduction
00:02:41.66\00:02:44.29
of our guests
tonight and the program,
00:02:44.33\00:02:46.39
we're going to go to
a special musical number
00:02:46.43\00:02:48.50
that I know is going to
bring a blessing to us all.
00:02:48.53\00:02:50.80
And that musical
number is coming to us
00:02:50.83\00:02:52.93
from Miss Stephanie Dawn
00:02:52.97\00:02:54.94
and she's going to
be singing "Come To Me."
00:02:54.97\00:02:57.77

00:05:07.04\00:05:10.41
And humble of heart
00:05:13.68\00:05:18.51
Lord of meek
00:05:22.22\00:05:26.49
And you shall find peace
00:05:26.52\00:05:31.69

I'll give you rest
00:05:55.35\00:06:01.39
I'll give you rest
00:06:01.42\00:06:04.69

00:06:15.70\00:06:20.51

00:06:39.36\00:06:43.60

00:06:52.04\00:06:58.18
I will give you rest
00:06:58.21\00:07:01.78
Come to me
00:07:13.96\00:07:16.06
Amen. Thank you
so much, Stephanie.
00:07:25.97\00:07:28.38
She has such a beautiful voice
00:07:28.41\00:07:30.01
and just such a
pleasant personality.
00:07:30.05\00:07:31.98
I've got to talk with her
00:07:32.01\00:07:33.88
and as produced
some of the music
00:07:33.92\00:07:36.18
that was that she's
come here to record before
00:07:36.22\00:07:37.85
and has such a beautiful voice
00:07:37.89\00:07:39.65
and really makes
the music come alive
00:07:39.69\00:07:41.29
and reach the heart.
00:07:41.32\00:07:42.66
So thank you,
Stephanie, for that.
00:07:42.69\00:07:44.03
All right.
00:07:44.06\00:07:45.39
You know what,
without further ado,
00:07:45.43\00:07:46.76
Brother Steve Dickman
and Rodney Bowes from ASI.
00:07:46.80\00:07:51.13
How are you fellows doing?
00:07:51.17\00:07:52.50
It's a blessing to
have you both here.
00:07:52.53\00:07:54.00
Well, it's a
blessing to be here at 3ABN.
00:07:54.04\00:07:56.57
What a pleasure to
come and partner with 3ABN
00:07:56.60\00:08:00.14
helping to get these
three angels' messages
00:08:00.18\00:08:01.74
to the world.
00:08:01.78\00:08:03.11
Amen. Praise the Lord.
00:08:03.14\00:08:04.48
And Rodney all
the way down there.
00:08:04.51\00:08:05.85
You're the...
00:08:05.88\00:08:07.22
Brother Steve,
you're the President of ASI.
00:08:07.25\00:08:10.15
And Brother Rodney,
00:08:10.19\00:08:11.52
you're the Vice
President of Evangelism and ASI.
00:08:11.55\00:08:14.76
So kind of talk about
00:08:14.79\00:08:16.26
what it is you
guys do individually.
00:08:16.29\00:08:19.03
And since I went down
there to the end the table,
00:08:19.06\00:08:20.83
I'll start with you, Rodney
00:08:20.86\00:08:22.20
and then we'll get
back to Brother Steve.
00:08:22.23\00:08:23.67
ASI is evangelistic
just in its name, actually.
00:08:23.70\00:08:27.67
But we have a department
that focuses on evangelism.
00:08:27.70\00:08:31.54
And so, my job is
to help develop tools
00:08:31.57\00:08:36.01
and inspire our ASI members.
00:08:36.04\00:08:38.88
And anyone actually who
is part of our convention,
00:08:38.91\00:08:42.38
or who is watching any program,
00:08:42.42\00:08:44.72
inspiring them to do evangelism.
00:08:44.75\00:08:47.52
Amen. Praise the Lord.
00:08:47.56\00:08:49.42
And as president,
00:08:49.46\00:08:51.89
that's got to be a
big that's a big title,
00:08:51.93\00:08:53.66
big responsibility.
00:08:53.70\00:08:55.33
What is it that you
do as president for ASI?
00:08:55.36\00:08:57.97
Well, I get to do everything
no one else wants to do.
00:08:58.00\00:09:00.57
That's the
President's job, right?
00:09:00.60\00:09:02.04
Okay.
00:09:02.07\00:09:03.41
But basically provide leadership
00:09:03.44\00:09:05.21
for the organization.
00:09:05.24\00:09:07.44
And so I've been serving
00:09:07.48\00:09:08.81
as president for ASI since 2015.
00:09:08.84\00:09:11.35
Okay.
00:09:11.38\00:09:12.71
And so this
will be six years now
00:09:12.75\00:09:15.35
that God has blessed
me with this opportunity.
00:09:15.38\00:09:18.15
It's a volunteer position.
00:09:18.19\00:09:20.16
And so I have a day job
that I work at actually to,
00:09:20.19\00:09:24.19
you might say,
get a paycheck, right?
00:09:24.23\00:09:25.89
But you know, Ryan, to me,
00:09:25.93\00:09:29.66
ASI is such a
beautiful organization.
00:09:29.70\00:09:33.13
And the reason I engage in ASI,
00:09:33.17\00:09:35.80
and the reason I invest
my time and energy in ASI
00:09:35.84\00:09:39.51
is because I believe that
00:09:39.54\00:09:41.54
if we can activate the laypeople
00:09:41.58\00:09:43.65
of the
Seventh-day Adventist Church,
00:09:43.68\00:09:46.25
if we could just take
00:09:46.28\00:09:47.62
a small segment of the laypeople
00:09:47.65\00:09:49.28
of the
Seventh-day Adventist Church,
00:09:49.32\00:09:50.69
just think about
the business people,
00:09:50.72\00:09:53.46
the professional
people and the ministries
00:09:53.49\00:09:55.52
and that's
basically where ASI focuses.
00:09:55.56\00:09:58.49
Take that group of people
00:09:58.53\00:10:00.20
and if you could
get all of those people,
00:10:00.23\00:10:02.26
all of these Seventh-day
Adventist business people
00:10:02.30\00:10:04.30
and professional
people in a room and say,
00:10:04.33\00:10:07.17
"You're 100% in,
00:10:07.20\00:10:08.54
let's finish this job
00:10:08.57\00:10:09.90
of getting the
gospel to the world."
00:10:09.94\00:10:11.27
The energy, the passion,
00:10:11.31\00:10:12.97
the ideas that
would come out of that,
00:10:13.01\00:10:15.54
I believe could really
help to change the world,
00:10:15.58\00:10:18.61
and to accomplish mission.
00:10:18.65\00:10:20.28
And so, I just see
it as a powerful tool
00:10:20.32\00:10:23.05
to help get the
gospel to the world.
00:10:23.08\00:10:24.72
And so, I'm so happy
that I've had the opportunity
00:10:24.75\00:10:28.02
to engage and help ASI.
00:10:28.06\00:10:29.92
It's been a real
blessing to me personally,
00:10:29.96\00:10:32.36
as well as, as well as you know,
00:10:32.39\00:10:35.70
just the work of doing
it is a blessing to me.
00:10:35.73\00:10:37.93
Amen. Amen.
00:10:37.97\00:10:39.30
I can I can say amen to that.
00:10:39.33\00:10:40.90
Because I know there's
probably millions of people
00:10:40.94\00:10:43.30
all across this globe
00:10:43.34\00:10:44.67
who have whether
they know it or not
00:10:44.71\00:10:46.37
have been positively influenced
by the Ministry of ASI.
00:10:46.41\00:10:49.78
ASI, A-S-I,
00:10:49.81\00:10:51.81
what does that
stand for one more time?
00:10:51.85\00:10:53.25
Adventist-laymen's
Services and Industries.
00:10:53.28\00:10:56.82
Amen.
00:10:56.85\00:10:58.19
So it's the...
00:10:58.22\00:10:59.55
It's the lay side of the
church integrally connected
00:10:59.59\00:11:04.03
as a department of the
North American Division.
00:11:04.06\00:11:06.39
ASI is a department of
the North American Division.
00:11:06.43\00:11:08.90
So it's really
tied to the church.
00:11:08.93\00:11:11.70
And it came out of the work
00:11:11.73\00:11:13.07
that was done
at Madison College.
00:11:13.10\00:11:15.07
Madison was started in 1904.
00:11:15.10\00:11:17.37
And by 1947,
00:11:17.41\00:11:18.97
there were so many missionaries
00:11:19.01\00:11:20.34
coming out of
the work at Madison
00:11:20.38\00:11:22.38
that the church said,
00:11:22.41\00:11:23.75
"We need a way to
talk to these people
00:11:23.78\00:11:25.68
that are going
abroad and doing work."
00:11:25.71\00:11:27.32
And here in the
United States even doing work
00:11:27.35\00:11:29.78
in a more formal way.
00:11:29.82\00:11:31.15
And so, that, the organization
was formed at that point.
00:11:31.19\00:11:34.56
Later we included
the business people
00:11:34.59\00:11:36.16
and brought in
the professionals,
00:11:36.19\00:11:38.03
but basically
really powerful opportunity
00:11:38.06\00:11:42.36
to connect the work
00:11:42.40\00:11:44.07
of the
administration of the church
00:11:44.10\00:11:47.17
with the work that
the laypeople are doing,
00:11:47.20\00:11:49.74
and called by God
00:11:49.77\00:11:51.54
to do powerful
work around the world
00:11:51.57\00:11:53.84
and in
combination with the church.
00:11:53.88\00:11:55.74
Amen to that.
00:11:55.78\00:11:57.95
you know, you
missed a group in the ASI.
00:11:57.98\00:12:02.08
What about our young people?
00:12:02.12\00:12:03.45
Oh, young people.
00:12:03.49\00:12:04.82
Rodney, thank you because
we have in the last few years
00:12:04.85\00:12:07.66
actually started
a special initiative
00:12:07.69\00:12:10.79
to reach out to
the next generation.
00:12:10.83\00:12:13.03
Because a lot
of times, honestly,
00:12:13.06\00:12:15.36
probably ASI is looked at
00:12:15.40\00:12:16.77
as kind of the older generation.
00:12:16.80\00:12:19.00
But we realize, we recognize
00:12:19.03\00:12:21.00
that we need that
younger generation coming in
00:12:21.04\00:12:23.74
now to pick up the
reigns and to take leadership
00:12:23.77\00:12:27.44
when some of us are not able.
00:12:27.48\00:12:29.21
And so we're excited.
00:12:29.24\00:12:30.71
We have a ASI, YP team,
00:12:30.75\00:12:33.42
young professional team
00:12:33.45\00:12:34.88
that is actually
planning special events
00:12:34.92\00:12:36.89
at our convention
special programming
00:12:36.92\00:12:39.22
to minister to the
younger generation.
00:12:39.25\00:12:41.52
And we're excited
about that initiative.
00:12:41.56\00:12:43.86
Hmm. Amen.
00:12:43.89\00:12:45.23
Praise the Lord to that.
00:12:45.26\00:12:46.59
So you guys just have your hands
00:12:46.63\00:12:47.96
in just about
everything it looks like
00:12:48.00\00:12:49.33
and I can actually say
00:12:49.36\00:12:50.70
because I've heard Danny
00:12:50.73\00:12:52.07
and I've heard several people
mentioned the story before.
00:12:52.10\00:12:54.47
I mean 3ABN to a certain extent
00:12:54.50\00:12:56.60
probably
wouldn't be where we are
00:12:56.64\00:12:58.44
if it wasn't
for the relationship
00:12:58.47\00:13:00.74
and the partnership with ASI.
00:13:00.78\00:13:03.41
And I think I've heard
Danny tell the story somewhere
00:13:03.45\00:13:05.48
I think it was back in
1986 in Big Sky, Montana
00:13:05.51\00:13:09.38
where he pitched I
think maybe for the first time
00:13:09.42\00:13:12.09
the concept of
3ABN to the leadership
00:13:12.12\00:13:16.26
and the people there at ASI.
00:13:16.29\00:13:18.06
And I think you
mentioned me you were there?
00:13:18.09\00:13:19.46
I was there.
00:13:19.49\00:13:20.83
Tell us a little bit about that?
00:13:20.86\00:13:22.20
It actually was,
00:13:22.23\00:13:23.57
I was not connected
directly with ASI at that point.
00:13:23.60\00:13:26.07
Right.
00:13:26.10\00:13:27.44
But my father and mother
were attending that event
00:13:27.47\00:13:29.24
as members of ASI
00:13:29.27\00:13:30.94
and they had
invited my wife and I
00:13:30.97\00:13:32.87
to come there and join them.
00:13:32.91\00:13:34.61
So we met in Big Sky, Montana.
00:13:34.64\00:13:37.25
And I can
remember that convention
00:13:37.28\00:13:38.91
and because it
was kind of a special
00:13:38.95\00:13:40.92
because it was, you know,
00:13:40.95\00:13:42.55
we're getting together
00:13:42.58\00:13:43.99
and then when Danny Shelton
00:13:44.02\00:13:46.09
and the story of
the beginnings of 3ABN,
00:13:46.12\00:13:48.86
and all the excitement
surrounding that at the time.
00:13:48.89\00:13:51.59
So there's been a partnership
that existed for a long time.
00:13:51.63\00:13:54.23
I never imagined that
00:13:54.26\00:13:55.60
maybe I might have a
part to play in that,
00:13:55.63\00:13:57.77
but the God, the
Lord has arranged that
00:13:57.80\00:14:00.34
and it's been a blessing
to me to partner with 3ABN.
00:14:00.37\00:14:04.11
And it is a strong partnership
between ASI and 3ABN,
00:14:04.14\00:14:08.44
and we really love that.
00:14:08.48\00:14:10.71
The opportunity for us
00:14:10.75\00:14:12.35
to provide stories of
laypeople doing real things
00:14:12.38\00:14:16.22
and then ASI, you know,
00:14:16.25\00:14:19.22
when we have our meeting
00:14:19.25\00:14:20.59
3ABN comes and
they broadcast it live,
00:14:20.62\00:14:22.42
it's just, it's a
really good relationship
00:14:22.46\00:14:25.06
and we value our
relationship with 3ABN.
00:14:25.09\00:14:27.86
Absolutely.
00:14:27.90\00:14:29.23
I think it's been
more than 25 years now
00:14:29.26\00:14:31.87
that 3ABN has been airing
ASI programs over the air.
00:14:31.90\00:14:37.17
And so this
partnership has been special.
00:14:37.21\00:14:39.47
And to hear,
00:14:39.51\00:14:40.84
I mean, I'm looking
at this outline here
00:14:40.88\00:14:42.88
of all that we're
going to be talking about
00:14:42.91\00:14:44.38
as far as this new
evangelistic opportunity
00:14:44.41\00:14:46.61
and all that you guys have,
00:14:46.65\00:14:48.55
the Lord has used you to produce
00:14:48.58\00:14:50.29
and to create to help
00:14:50.32\00:14:51.65
open the door for
more and more people
00:14:51.69\00:14:53.02
to evangelize
and share the gospel.
00:14:53.05\00:14:55.69
And I'm excited about it.
00:14:55.72\00:14:57.73
Before we get into
why you're here tonight
00:14:57.76\00:14:59.63
to discuss this new initiative.
00:14:59.66\00:15:01.26
I understand you guys normally
as most of us would know
00:15:01.30\00:15:04.23
we look forward
00:15:04.27\00:15:05.60
to the big ASI
Convention every year.
00:15:05.63\00:15:07.70
I understand you
didn't do one last year
00:15:07.74\00:15:09.40
COVID probably has...
00:15:09.44\00:15:10.77
There's a little interruption.
00:15:10.81\00:15:12.14
COVID had a little
something to do with that,
00:15:12.17\00:15:14.58
but tell us what the plans
are for 2021 ASI Convention?
00:15:14.61\00:15:19.28
So we have been
working diligently
00:15:19.31\00:15:22.35
to rearrange the convention
00:15:22.38\00:15:24.85
because we believe that
00:15:24.89\00:15:26.59
we need to
physically come together
00:15:26.62\00:15:28.22
for this convention.
00:15:28.26\00:15:29.59
All right.
00:15:29.62\00:15:30.96
Last year we did not
have that opportunity,
00:15:30.99\00:15:32.89
this year we were scheduled
00:15:32.93\00:15:34.33
to be in Grand Rapids, Michigan,
00:15:34.36\00:15:36.73
but it looked like
00:15:36.77\00:15:38.20
that there were going to be
some difficulties with that,
00:15:38.23\00:15:40.97
so we were able to arrange
00:15:41.00\00:15:42.44
an exit strategy
from Grand Rapids
00:15:42.47\00:15:44.91
and as of today we
have a signed contract
00:15:44.94\00:15:48.24
with the Rosen
Shingle Creek Resort
00:15:48.28\00:15:50.28
in Orlando, Florida
00:15:50.31\00:15:52.65
for August 4 through 7.
00:15:52.68\00:15:54.68
All right.
00:15:54.72\00:15:56.38
Now, assuming that in
a few get this evening
00:15:56.42\00:16:01.46
I may get a text,
00:16:01.49\00:16:02.82
and we'll have a
special announcement
00:16:02.86\00:16:04.19
about
registration for that event,
00:16:04.23\00:16:06.49
but we are working diligently.
00:16:06.53\00:16:08.33
We want to have
an in-person event.
00:16:08.36\00:16:09.73
Okay.
00:16:09.76\00:16:11.10
And we want to be
able to come together
00:16:11.13\00:16:13.70
and the purpose
of coming together
00:16:13.74\00:16:16.20
is to connect and
network and strategize
00:16:16.24\00:16:20.91
about how to be more effective
00:16:20.94\00:16:22.74
in finishing the work
00:16:22.78\00:16:24.21
of getting the three
angels' messages to the world.
00:16:24.25\00:16:27.68
Right now ASI has had
in fact voted officially
00:16:27.72\00:16:31.25
in its executive committee
00:16:31.29\00:16:33.92
and its leadership
00:16:33.96\00:16:37.36
it's voted officially
00:16:37.39\00:16:38.96
that our highest
priority right now
00:16:38.99\00:16:41.96
is to get the three
angels' messages to the world.
00:16:42.00\00:16:44.97
Nothing else is
that high of priority,
00:16:45.00\00:16:47.64
so that's our most
important thing right now.
00:16:47.67\00:16:50.04
Absolutely.
00:16:50.07\00:16:51.41
And I believe that
God's going to help us
00:16:51.44\00:16:53.38
and I believe He's going
to keep the door open for us
00:16:53.41\00:16:55.78
to meet together
personally individually
00:16:55.81\00:16:57.81
and to be there
00:16:57.85\00:16:59.18
and to encourage each
other, to pray for each other
00:16:59.21\00:17:01.72
and to go forth from that event
00:17:01.75\00:17:04.35
re-energized and empowered
to help share the message.
00:17:04.39\00:17:07.42
Absolutely.
00:17:07.46\00:17:08.79
And I just respond to
that with a hearty amen
00:17:08.82\00:17:11.39
because that's
exactly what we're all about
00:17:11.43\00:17:13.19
that's who we are as a people,
00:17:13.23\00:17:14.83
that's why God raised up
00:17:14.86\00:17:16.20
the Seventh-day
Adventist movement
00:17:16.23\00:17:17.63
to take the
three angels' messages
00:17:17.67\00:17:19.47
to all over the world,
00:17:19.50\00:17:20.84
that's why this network 3ABN,
00:17:20.87\00:17:23.54
The Three Angels
Broadcasting Network exists,
00:17:23.57\00:17:26.24
because we're all
about making sure that
00:17:26.27\00:17:28.11
in this lost and dying world
00:17:28.14\00:17:29.94
that every single person
hears the three angels' messages
00:17:29.98\00:17:33.78
and hears the
gospel in this time
00:17:33.82\00:17:36.32
and we certainly could use
00:17:36.35\00:17:38.02
the good news of the
Gospel of Jesus Christ
00:17:38.05\00:17:40.26
in such a dreary
time that we're living in,
00:17:40.29\00:17:43.99
but there's
exciting things coming ahead.
00:17:44.03\00:17:46.66
In fact, you know what?
00:17:46.70\00:17:48.03
When I first looked at
00:17:48.06\00:17:49.40
what we were going to be
talking about this evening,
00:17:49.43\00:17:51.43
the first thing
that comes to my mind,
00:17:51.47\00:17:52.90
I'm just gonna put it out there,
00:17:52.93\00:17:54.47
have you ever
gotten that phone call,
00:17:54.50\00:17:57.47
let's say it's around 3
AM in the morning, right?
00:17:57.51\00:18:00.41
Usually when
you get a phone call
00:18:00.44\00:18:01.78
at 3 AM in the morning,
00:18:01.81\00:18:03.55
you usually
don't expect it to be
00:18:03.58\00:18:05.25
and I'm gonna
use your words here
00:18:05.28\00:18:07.58
about supper or about
something else right here.
00:18:07.62\00:18:10.39
You usually you
receive that call
00:18:10.42\00:18:12.25
and you know that
there's probably something there
00:18:12.29\00:18:14.89
that you're going
to be talking about
00:18:14.92\00:18:16.26
what's happening
00:18:16.29\00:18:17.63
on the other side
of that phone call
00:18:17.66\00:18:18.99
is probably
something of an alert
00:18:19.03\00:18:20.93
your attention is
being brought to something,
00:18:20.96\00:18:23.00
3 AM call,
00:18:23.03\00:18:24.70
we're not here
to talk necessarily
00:18:24.73\00:18:26.07
about a phone call
at 3 AM in the morning,
00:18:26.10\00:18:28.67
but we are here to
talk about the 3 AM call.
00:18:28.70\00:18:32.81
What is the 3 AM call?
00:18:32.84\00:18:34.38
Tell us about that?
00:18:34.41\00:18:35.74
New ASI initiative,
let's talk about that?
00:18:35.78\00:18:37.48
The 3 Am call is the
three angels' messages,
00:18:37.51\00:18:41.65
3 AM call three
angels' messages call,
00:18:41.68\00:18:45.35
and we believe it's very urgent.
00:18:45.39\00:18:47.49
And, you know, Ryan,
00:18:47.52\00:18:48.86
I was thinking
about this 3 AM call
00:18:48.89\00:18:51.86
telemarketers don't
call you at 3 AM, right?
00:18:51.89\00:18:54.86
I mean... We hope not.
00:18:54.90\00:18:56.87
It doesn't work, right?
00:18:56.90\00:18:58.23
Because they know that
you're normally sleeping.
00:18:58.27\00:19:00.57
A 3 AM call is
urgent. That's right.
00:19:00.60\00:19:03.10
It's very important
00:19:03.14\00:19:04.77
and it is a call
to action actually.
00:19:04.81\00:19:07.88
You know, a 3 AM
call is not one that
00:19:07.91\00:19:10.41
you just hit silence
and go back to sleep.
00:19:10.45\00:19:13.88
And so the 3 AM call
00:19:13.92\00:19:15.28
is our urgent
initiative from ASI
00:19:15.32\00:19:18.45
that we can engage
one another in the world
00:19:18.49\00:19:21.82
in taking the
three angels' messages
00:19:21.86\00:19:24.89
to every person on this planet.
00:19:24.93\00:19:26.63
Okay, okay.
00:19:26.66\00:19:28.00
So 3 AM call, three
angels' messages call
00:19:28.03\00:19:31.77
speaking of call, okay?
00:19:31.80\00:19:33.47
Before we go any
further into talking about
00:19:33.50\00:19:35.50
and breaking this apart
00:19:35.54\00:19:36.87
as to what exactly
this is all comprised of.
00:19:36.91\00:19:40.74
I want to encourage our viewers,
00:19:40.78\00:19:42.21
you may hear
something tonight that may spark
00:19:42.24\00:19:44.11
you'd maybe want
to interact with us,
00:19:44.15\00:19:45.88
maybe you have a
question that you want to ask
00:19:45.91\00:19:48.48
and there's a couple
of ways you can do that
00:19:48.52\00:19:50.25
and we'll try our best
to get to those questions
00:19:50.29\00:19:52.89
throughout this program,
00:19:52.92\00:19:54.29
but there's two ways
that you can correspond
00:19:54.32\00:19:57.69
and communicate with us tonight,
00:19:57.73\00:19:59.06
that's by email and text.
00:19:59.09\00:20:00.43
First, you'll see text there,
00:20:00.46\00:20:02.50
618-228-3975.
00:20:02.53\00:20:07.80
I think text is
what we're doing tonight.
00:20:07.84\00:20:09.44
So text again 618-228-3975.
00:20:09.47\00:20:14.48
So if you have a question,
send those questions in.
00:20:14.51\00:20:18.05
And or you can email us there
00:20:18.08\00:20:20.02
at live, that's live@3abn.tv.
00:20:20.05\00:20:24.39
So two ways text and
email, and that email address,
00:20:24.42\00:20:27.46
there's on the
screen live@3abn.tv.
00:20:27.49\00:20:31.63
So send those questions in.
00:20:31.66\00:20:32.99
And as they come in,
00:20:33.03\00:20:34.36
we'll try our best to
get to those questions.
00:20:34.40\00:20:35.86
I suspect, there's
going to be some questions.
00:20:35.90\00:20:38.10
And before we get
into this 3 AM call,
00:20:38.13\00:20:41.40
it's about the
three angels' messages.
00:20:41.44\00:20:43.41
I just got to put this out there
00:20:43.44\00:20:44.77
because I know there's
probably someone watching here
00:20:44.81\00:20:46.44
that may be new
to 3ABN programming
00:20:46.47\00:20:48.61
that may, for the first time,
00:20:48.64\00:20:50.81
just heard about the
three angels' messages.
00:20:50.85\00:20:53.88
What in the world
are you talking about
00:20:53.92\00:20:55.48
when you say
three angels' messages?
00:20:55.52\00:20:59.12
You know, I
summarize it this way, Ryan.
00:20:59.15\00:21:02.32
It's God's end time message,
00:21:02.36\00:21:06.90
His love message to a generation
00:21:06.93\00:21:10.83
that's living in a
world that needs to rescue.
00:21:10.87\00:21:12.80
Absolutely.
00:21:12.83\00:21:14.17
I mean, if you look
around the world today,
00:21:14.20\00:21:15.90
you have to say our
world today needs a rescue.
00:21:15.94\00:21:17.77
That's right.
00:21:17.81\00:21:19.14
And this is God's call.
00:21:19.17\00:21:20.51
He says,
00:21:20.54\00:21:21.88
"Listen, I'm coming soon.
00:21:21.91\00:21:24.38
And I want
everyone in My kingdom."
00:21:24.41\00:21:26.18
Absolutely.
00:21:26.21\00:21:27.55
"I don't want to
leave anyone out."
00:21:27.58\00:21:29.05
So let me give my
people a special message
00:21:29.08\00:21:32.82
and we find it
Revelation Chapter 14.
00:21:32.85\00:21:35.19
Some people think
Revelation is like
00:21:35.22\00:21:36.89
this book you can't understand.
00:21:36.93\00:21:38.79
But the three angels' messages
is a clear call from God.
00:21:38.83\00:21:43.43
Come, My people, I love you,
and I want you in My kingdom.
00:21:43.47\00:21:47.37
Don't listen to the enemy. Amen.
00:21:47.40\00:21:49.54
Don't go the other way.
00:21:49.57\00:21:51.14
Listen to Me,
come to My kingdom.
00:21:51.17\00:21:53.71
This controversy
00:21:53.74\00:21:55.08
that has existed in the universe
00:21:55.11\00:21:57.55
is soon to be over.
00:21:57.58\00:21:59.18
And God is calling for
His people to come home.
00:21:59.21\00:22:01.68
Amen to that.
00:22:01.72\00:22:03.39
Praise the Lord,
three angels' messages.
00:22:03.42\00:22:05.82
You know, I was not raised
00:22:05.85\00:22:07.56
a Seventh-day
Adventist Christian,
00:22:07.59\00:22:09.52
but I was raised a Christian.
00:22:09.56\00:22:11.06
And I have to say,
00:22:11.09\00:22:12.43
for the majority of
my Christian upbringing,
00:22:12.46\00:22:13.80
I had never heard or even knew
00:22:13.83\00:22:15.83
what the three
angels' messages were.
00:22:15.86\00:22:17.60
And primarily because
00:22:17.63\00:22:19.13
my gospel experience
did not really comprise
00:22:19.17\00:22:22.10
of the study of Bible prophecy.
00:22:22.14\00:22:24.37
So I didn't really study
00:22:24.41\00:22:25.74
from the books of
Daniel and Revelation.
00:22:25.77\00:22:27.31
But I'll never forget,
00:22:27.34\00:22:28.68
as God introduced
00:22:28.71\00:22:30.05
that great powerful
gospel message to my family
00:22:30.08\00:22:33.92
via the
Seventh-day Adventist Church,
00:22:33.95\00:22:35.98
and hearing those
words, three angels' messages,
00:22:36.02\00:22:38.59
and then hearing
it for the first time.
00:22:38.62\00:22:40.06
I just want to read
this really quickly.
00:22:40.09\00:22:41.79
For those I'm gonna read
this very first angel's messages
00:22:41.82\00:22:44.13
to all three
messages to the entire world.
00:22:44.16\00:22:46.73
But Revelation 14:6, it says,
of course, John the Revelator,
00:22:46.76\00:22:51.37
he is, he has envisioned
and he sees here and he says,
00:22:51.40\00:22:53.84
"I saw another angel
fly in the midst of heaven,
00:22:53.87\00:22:57.14
having the everlasting
gospel to preach to those
00:22:57.17\00:23:00.48
who dwell on the earth
00:23:00.51\00:23:01.84
to every nation,
tribe, tongue, and people."
00:23:01.88\00:23:05.91
And then when you read verses 7
00:23:05.95\00:23:07.65
all the way through 14 there,
00:23:07.68\00:23:09.85
you have the
three angels' messages.
00:23:09.88\00:23:11.35
It includes the
everlasting gospel
00:23:11.39\00:23:14.32
going to all nations,
tribes, tongues, and people.
00:23:14.36\00:23:17.49
And I love that
first angel's message
00:23:17.53\00:23:18.89
all of them,
00:23:18.93\00:23:20.26
but first angel's
message is so powerful,
00:23:20.30\00:23:22.06
as it says there in verse
7, saying with a loud voice,
00:23:22.10\00:23:24.93
"Fear God and give glory to Him,
00:23:24.97\00:23:26.90
for the hour of
His judgment has come,
00:23:26.94\00:23:29.27
and worship Him
00:23:29.30\00:23:30.64
who made the heaven
and the earth, and the sea
00:23:30.67\00:23:32.64
and the springs of waters."
00:23:32.67\00:23:34.21
What a powerful gospel message.
00:23:34.24\00:23:35.58
You know,
there's a couple things
00:23:35.61\00:23:36.95
just jumped out at you
when I read these words.
00:23:36.98\00:23:39.45
For instance,
00:23:39.48\00:23:41.05
what is this
00:23:41.08\00:23:42.42
that it would require a
special messenger to bring?
00:23:42.45\00:23:45.12
Right.
00:23:45.15\00:23:46.49
And what is this
00:23:46.52\00:23:47.86
that they would need to
say it with a loud voice?
00:23:47.89\00:23:49.49
There's something
about this message
00:23:49.52\00:23:51.36
that says it's important.
00:23:51.39\00:23:53.80
And so, you know,
00:23:53.83\00:23:55.20
for us as Seventh-day
Adventist Christians,
00:23:55.23\00:23:58.53
believing that
00:23:58.57\00:23:59.90
this message needs to
go to the entire world,
00:23:59.93\00:24:02.20
that this is a
literal statement.
00:24:02.24\00:24:04.21
It needs to go to every nation
00:24:04.24\00:24:05.57
and kindred and
tongue and tribe and people.
00:24:05.61\00:24:07.51
That's a big job. Absolutely.
00:24:07.54\00:24:09.14
We need everybody to
engage in helping to do that.
00:24:09.18\00:24:11.35
Amen.
00:24:11.38\00:24:12.71
You know, one thing I'd like
to also point out is verse 12,
00:24:12.75\00:24:15.98
because that is right there
in the third angel's message
00:24:16.02\00:24:19.95
which is Seventh-day Adventists.
00:24:19.99\00:24:21.39
We understand is the message
00:24:21.42\00:24:23.19
that we really
need to be trumpeting
00:24:23.22\00:24:25.63
to the world today, right?
00:24:25.66\00:24:27.20
But the third angel's message
00:24:27.23\00:24:28.56
is really the
most fearful message.
00:24:28.60\00:24:30.63
Wouldn't you agree?
00:24:30.67\00:24:32.00
I mean, it's a warning against
00:24:32.03\00:24:33.37
receiving the mark of the beast.
00:24:33.40\00:24:35.50
But at the end is verse 12.
00:24:35.54\00:24:37.87
"Here's the
patience of the saints,
00:24:37.91\00:24:40.28
here are those who
keep the commandments of God
00:24:40.31\00:24:42.94
and the faith of Jesus."
00:24:42.98\00:24:45.01
It's really all about Jesus.
00:24:45.05\00:24:46.55
And it's a message of
righteousness by faith.
00:24:46.58\00:24:48.68
That's right.
00:24:48.72\00:24:50.05
I think that's
very important to note,
00:24:50.09\00:24:52.12
and these messages,
as you mentioned, Steve,
00:24:52.15\00:24:55.02
are right before Jesus comes.
00:24:55.06\00:24:57.26
You see in verse 14,
00:24:57.29\00:24:59.29
there's Jesus on the
cloud one like the Son of Man.
00:24:59.33\00:25:03.16
And so these three messages
are warning to the world.
00:25:03.20\00:25:07.27
But they're also a
preparation for God's people.
00:25:07.30\00:25:10.84
They are preparing the saints.
00:25:10.87\00:25:12.51
That's right.
00:25:12.54\00:25:13.88
And something
you mentioned, Ryan,
00:25:13.91\00:25:15.71
that really strikes me
00:25:15.74\00:25:17.95
is how most of
the world has no clue
00:25:17.98\00:25:21.72
what these messages are.
00:25:21.75\00:25:23.59
Just last night, when
I arrived in St. Louis,
00:25:23.62\00:25:27.22
at the airport late at night,
00:25:27.26\00:25:29.69
I was talking to the
person behind the counter,
00:25:29.72\00:25:32.13
very friendly,
very friendly lady.
00:25:32.16\00:25:34.53
And we got to
talking and she said,
00:25:34.56\00:25:36.06
"What are you
doing here in this area?"
00:25:36.10\00:25:37.60
I said, "I'm going to
3ABN. Have you heard about it?"
00:25:37.63\00:25:40.44
She said, "No, what is Three
Angels Broadcasting Network?"
00:25:40.47\00:25:44.27
I said, "It's a
Christian program."
00:25:44.31\00:25:46.41
She said, "Interesting.
00:25:46.44\00:25:47.78
What are you
going to talk about?"
00:25:47.81\00:25:49.14
I mean, is this amazing or what?
00:25:49.18\00:25:51.01
I said,
00:25:51.05\00:25:52.38
"It's about the
three angels' messages
00:25:52.41\00:25:53.82
of Revelation 14?
00:25:53.85\00:25:55.52
Have you heard about it?"
00:25:55.55\00:25:56.89
"No, I have no idea,"
00:25:56.92\00:25:58.42
was her response?
00:25:58.45\00:25:59.79
But here's the thing.
00:25:59.82\00:26:01.16
There are many
Seventh-day Adventists
00:26:01.19\00:26:02.62
who don't know it either.
00:26:02.66\00:26:03.99
That's right.
00:26:04.03\00:26:05.36
Yeah. And that's just it.
00:26:05.39\00:26:06.73
And I'm glad
00:26:06.76\00:26:08.10
that you brought
us down to verse 12.
00:26:08.13\00:26:09.60
Because I actually, I
think I made a mistake earlier
00:26:09.63\00:26:11.73
in saying that
it goes to verse 14.
00:26:11.77\00:26:13.34
The three angels' messages
00:26:13.37\00:26:14.70
actually go from
verse 6 to verse 12.
00:26:14.74\00:26:16.77
But you're right, verse 14,
00:26:16.81\00:26:18.91
you see Jesus Christ
coming back on a cloud, right?
00:26:18.94\00:26:22.24
We know that those
are clouds of angels,
00:26:22.28\00:26:23.71
He's coming back
to get His people.
00:26:23.75\00:26:25.28
And these three angels' messages
00:26:25.31\00:26:27.02
must, they have to be
preached to all the world
00:26:27.05\00:26:29.95
before Jesus can come?
00:26:29.98\00:26:31.32
And I love what
you said earlier,
00:26:31.35\00:26:32.69
Brother Steve,
00:26:32.72\00:26:34.06
that this is God's love message.
00:26:34.09\00:26:35.42
This is like His
final love letter to say,
00:26:35.46\00:26:37.53
"Hey, look, I love you.
00:26:37.56\00:26:38.89
I'm your Creator,
returning to worshiping Me,
00:26:38.93\00:26:41.20
because I'm coming soon.
00:26:41.23\00:26:42.56
And I want you to
be in My kingdom."
00:26:42.60\00:26:43.93
That's what all the
three angels' messages
00:26:43.97\00:26:45.30
are all about.
00:26:45.33\00:26:46.67
And I appreciate you guys
bringing that about there.
00:26:46.70\00:26:48.77
I'd like to bring out
one more point about this.
00:26:48.80\00:26:51.64
And that is the
angels themselves
00:26:51.67\00:26:53.27
that are bringing the message,
00:26:53.31\00:26:55.18
because what is an
angel in the Bible?
00:26:55.21\00:26:59.41
It's a messenger.
00:26:59.45\00:27:00.92
And as you study this,
00:27:00.95\00:27:02.75
I personally have
come to the conclusion
00:27:02.78\00:27:05.12
that the angel
00:27:05.15\00:27:06.76
is a
representation of the people
00:27:06.79\00:27:09.86
who will be taking the message.
00:27:09.89\00:27:11.23
Amen. Amen.
00:27:11.26\00:27:12.59
So I think the fact that
they're flying in mid-heaven
00:27:12.63\00:27:15.86
is an indicator of a speed
00:27:15.90\00:27:17.80
at which the
message needs to go.
00:27:17.83\00:27:19.33
That's right.
00:27:19.37\00:27:20.70
And I think that they're
speaking with a loud voice
00:27:20.74\00:27:22.80
is an indicator of the urgency
00:27:22.84\00:27:25.11
that the message needs to
have as we take it to the world.
00:27:25.14\00:27:28.18
Right.
00:27:28.21\00:27:29.54
So we're not excluded from this.
00:27:29.58\00:27:31.11
This is not, let's wait and see
00:27:31.15\00:27:32.51
when the angels show
up and shout this stuff.
00:27:32.55\00:27:34.58
No, let's engage
personally, individually
00:27:34.62\00:27:39.52
studying this, understanding it,
00:27:39.55\00:27:41.89
allowing the Holy
Spirit to guide us
00:27:41.92\00:27:44.09
so that we can
effectively share this message
00:27:44.13\00:27:46.90
with those who are in danger.
00:27:46.93\00:27:49.23
And we can warn
them, Jesus is coming soon.
00:27:49.26\00:27:51.70
That's right.
00:27:51.73\00:27:53.07
It's time for us to
commit our lives to Him,
00:27:53.10\00:27:55.64
and to allow Him
00:27:55.67\00:27:57.07
to give us that experience
that Rodney talked about.
00:27:57.11\00:27:59.67
That faith experience,
so much trust in Him,
00:27:59.71\00:28:02.74
and so much trust
in His saving power,
00:28:02.78\00:28:05.21
that we're not afraid.
00:28:05.25\00:28:06.92
We know we have a
relationship with our Savior.
00:28:06.95\00:28:09.58
And we can rest in peace. Amen.
00:28:09.62\00:28:11.99
Praise the Lord. I love that.
00:28:12.02\00:28:13.56
You speak of the speed
00:28:13.59\00:28:14.92
that this
message is going to take.
00:28:14.96\00:28:16.62
As we're sitting here,
00:28:16.66\00:28:17.99
and this message is
going all around the world.
00:28:18.03\00:28:19.69
And I've heard Danny
say it several times,
00:28:19.73\00:28:21.56
and I forget the actual numbers,
00:28:21.60\00:28:23.37
but just seconds that
it takes to get from here
00:28:23.40\00:28:26.84
all the way so
many thousands of miles
00:28:26.87\00:28:28.90
out into outer
space to this satellite,
00:28:28.94\00:28:30.71
and then you know beams
all the way around the world
00:28:30.74\00:28:33.54
to all these
different locations.
00:28:33.58\00:28:35.28
It's powerful to know that
00:28:35.31\00:28:36.64
God is getting
that message out there.
00:28:36.68\00:28:38.01
And He will do
all that is necessary.
00:28:38.05\00:28:39.85
And He wants us
to co-labor with Him,
00:28:39.88\00:28:42.22
which is why we're here
to talk about 3 AM call.
00:28:42.25\00:28:46.62
So let's break it down.
00:28:46.65\00:28:47.99
Let's talk about
what is this 3 AM call
00:28:48.02\00:28:50.66
and how can people,
00:28:50.69\00:28:52.03
how, there may be
someone watching right now,
00:28:52.06\00:28:53.70
based on all that we've said
just in the past few minutes,
00:28:53.73\00:28:55.90
I want to be a part of
this three angels' call movement
00:28:55.93\00:28:58.83
to take the three
angels' message to the world.
00:28:58.87\00:29:01.04
Tell us how we can do that?
00:29:01.07\00:29:02.44
Well, we've got
00:29:02.47\00:29:03.81
several different
opportunities tonight.
00:29:03.84\00:29:05.41
But I'd like to
address our audience here,
00:29:05.44\00:29:07.58
actually ask you
to take out your phone
00:29:07.61\00:29:09.91
even right now
00:29:09.94\00:29:11.28
or your tablet or your iPad,
your computer, whatever it is,
00:29:11.31\00:29:14.82
and go to the
website, the3amcall.org.
00:29:14.85\00:29:19.75
You will see a
big blue button there
00:29:19.79\00:29:21.72
that says register to
become a 3AM missionary.
00:29:21.76\00:29:25.89
We want to encourage
you to do that right now.
00:29:25.93\00:29:28.33
Rodney, what's
the age range here?
00:29:28.36\00:29:29.90
I mean, do we have a cut off
00:29:29.93\00:29:31.53
how young you have to be
or how old you have to be?
00:29:31.57\00:29:34.47
As long as you can use a device.
00:29:34.50\00:29:36.40
How about that?
00:29:36.44\00:29:37.77
Well, I have a
five year old grandson
00:29:37.81\00:29:39.54
that's using a device.
00:29:39.57\00:29:41.64
That is fine.
00:29:41.68\00:29:43.75
The reason I say that is because
00:29:43.78\00:29:46.15
God can do amazing things.
00:29:46.18\00:29:47.95
You remember reading
the Great Controversy.
00:29:47.98\00:29:50.12
God used young children
00:29:50.15\00:29:51.72
who were out playing, you know,
in their childhood enjoyment.
00:29:51.75\00:29:56.42
God would move upon them,
00:29:56.46\00:29:58.23
the Holy Spirit
would inspire them.
00:29:58.26\00:29:59.86
They would stand up
00:29:59.89\00:30:01.23
and they would
preach the gospel messages
00:30:01.26\00:30:03.37
and then they'd
go back to playing.
00:30:03.40\00:30:04.97
So yes, I believe
00:30:05.00\00:30:06.33
anyone who can
understandably use a device.
00:30:06.37\00:30:10.11
How about someone who
is maybe in their 70s,
00:30:10.14\00:30:13.31
would they
qualify or in their 80s?
00:30:13.34\00:30:15.78
Okay. All right.
00:30:15.81\00:30:17.15
So at our local church
we have a number of people
00:30:17.18\00:30:20.58
who are in that age category
00:30:20.62\00:30:23.08
and have signed
up for the 3AM Call.
00:30:23.12\00:30:25.85
So I would say, over 100,
00:30:25.89\00:30:29.22
there's no limit
until you're in the grave.
00:30:29.26\00:30:32.63
Until you can't breathe.
00:30:32.66\00:30:34.00
Until you cannot...
00:30:34.03\00:30:35.36
You can't be a part
of this sharing business.
00:30:35.40\00:30:37.03
Most definitely. Amen.
00:30:37.07\00:30:38.70
You know, I want to
talk about something though,
00:30:38.73\00:30:40.87
Ryan, just as a
point of interest.
00:30:40.90\00:30:43.04
This initiative was
born right here at 3ABN.
00:30:43.07\00:30:46.44
This is not something
that happens somewhere else.
00:30:46.47\00:30:48.51
ASI was here last
year, virtual convention.
00:30:48.54\00:30:50.81
Almost a year ago.
00:30:50.85\00:30:52.58
About a year ago.
That's right. I remember.
00:30:52.61\00:30:53.95
This month.
00:30:53.98\00:30:55.32
And it was exciting times,
00:30:55.35\00:30:56.69
we were doing a
virtual convention,
00:30:56.72\00:30:58.05
we're in the
midst of a pandemic,
00:30:58.09\00:30:59.42
the first stages of a
pandemic and Elder Wilson,
00:30:59.45\00:31:02.79
our Seventh-day
Adventist Church president
00:31:02.82\00:31:04.79
was speaking virtually to
us for one of our meetings.
00:31:04.83\00:31:08.86
And afterwards, Rodney
and I were eating together.
00:31:08.90\00:31:11.43
And we said, you know,
00:31:11.47\00:31:14.04
that statement
that Elder Wilson made,
00:31:14.07\00:31:17.84
this moved me, it
said something to me,
00:31:17.87\00:31:20.38
something needs to be different.
00:31:20.41\00:31:21.74
Maybe I don't have
my priorities right.
00:31:21.78\00:31:24.85
You know, we
actually have that statement,
00:31:24.88\00:31:27.02
that statement that resonated
with both of us we have.
00:31:27.05\00:31:29.85
Yeah, let's look at it. Yeah.
00:31:29.88\00:31:31.29
So it is a powerful statement.
00:31:31.32\00:31:33.02
Let's bring it up here.
00:31:33.05\00:31:34.99
It's from the book
Evangelism, page 119.
00:31:35.02\00:31:38.26
Notice what it says,
00:31:38.29\00:31:39.79
"In a special sense
00:31:39.83\00:31:41.56
Seventh-day Adventists
00:31:41.60\00:31:43.16
have been set in the world
as watchmen and light-bearers.
00:31:43.20\00:31:47.54
To them has been
entrusted the last warning
00:31:47.57\00:31:50.21
for a perishing world.
00:31:50.24\00:31:51.97
On them is
shining wonderful light
00:31:52.01\00:31:54.28
from the Word of God."
00:31:54.31\00:31:55.64
Listen to what it says,
00:31:55.68\00:31:57.01
"They have been given a
work of the most solemn import,
00:31:57.05\00:32:01.35
the proclamation
of the first, second
00:32:01.38\00:32:04.29
and third angels' messages."
00:32:04.32\00:32:06.42
There is and this is this point.
00:32:06.45\00:32:09.09
"There is no other
work of so great importance.
00:32:09.12\00:32:12.16
They are to allow nothing
else to absorb their attention."
00:32:12.19\00:32:17.23
That is what really...
00:32:17.27\00:32:18.63
This is what got us talking.
00:32:18.67\00:32:20.30
Because I'm
sitting there thinking,
00:32:20.34\00:32:22.67
actually, right, I'm
sitting there thinking.
00:32:22.70\00:32:24.27
Right.
00:32:24.31\00:32:25.64
There's other things in my life
that I'm paying attention to
00:32:25.67\00:32:28.28
more than the
three angels' messages.
00:32:28.31\00:32:31.61
And I think my priorities
need to be readjusted.
00:32:31.65\00:32:35.08
And you're not the only one.
00:32:35.12\00:32:36.45
You know, and so as
Rodney and I were talking,
00:32:36.48\00:32:38.42
we're eating lunch,
we're talking, we're saying,
00:32:38.45\00:32:40.72
"Wow, there's nothing else
00:32:40.76\00:32:42.56
that's supposed to
really absorb our attention
00:32:42.59\00:32:44.16
as much as this message.
00:32:44.19\00:32:45.79
What are we going to do?"
00:32:45.83\00:32:48.56
And so, we began to strategize
and to think and to pray,
00:32:48.60\00:32:52.00
and to call some of our friends.
00:32:52.03\00:32:53.37
We actually took
a walk after lunch,
00:32:53.40\00:32:55.07
and we start calling people.
00:32:55.10\00:32:56.44
And we said,
00:32:56.47\00:32:57.81
"What do you think?
00:32:57.84\00:32:59.17
Should we have maybe
some kind of initiative
00:32:59.21\00:33:01.21
to pull together
00:33:01.24\00:33:02.58
and to see what we
can do to get more focus
00:33:02.61\00:33:05.11
on these three angels' message?"
00:33:05.15\00:33:07.32
And so, this 3AM Call initiative
00:33:07.35\00:33:10.29
was born right
here about a year ago.
00:33:10.32\00:33:13.42
Wow.
00:33:13.46\00:33:14.79
That's powerful.
00:33:14.82\00:33:16.16
So here we are.
00:33:16.19\00:33:17.53
So here we are. Here we are.
00:33:17.56\00:33:18.89
And now we're
talking about the 3AM Call.
00:33:18.93\00:33:21.03
And it's
starting to gain traction.
00:33:21.06\00:33:23.37
We're gonna see a
slide a little bit later on,
00:33:23.40\00:33:25.70
that shows where we're
at and where we want to be.
00:33:25.73\00:33:28.64
But Steve and I
were talking about
00:33:28.67\00:33:31.54
what it would be like
00:33:31.57\00:33:32.91
if we had 1,000
Seventh-day Adventists
00:33:32.94\00:33:36.64
or 10, 000
Seventh-day Adventist,
00:33:36.68\00:33:38.91
who were all devoted
00:33:38.95\00:33:40.85
to sharing the three
angels' message, right?
00:33:40.88\00:33:43.75
I mean, that's the job
00:33:43.79\00:33:45.19
of our pastors and
evangelists, right?
00:33:45.22\00:33:47.36
That's why we
think, that's their job,
00:33:47.39\00:33:50.86
they should be doing it.
00:33:50.89\00:33:52.23
But what would
happen if all the laypeople
00:33:52.26\00:33:54.46
were doing the same thing,
00:33:54.50\00:33:55.83
and we had the synergy of
all of us focused on that?
00:33:55.86\00:33:59.47
And then we get to
talking and said, 10,000.
00:33:59.50\00:34:02.67
We said,
00:34:02.70\00:34:04.04
"Why do we think
so small anyway?"
00:34:04.07\00:34:05.61
I mean, this is the win.
00:34:05.64\00:34:08.48
How many people on planet earth?
00:34:08.51\00:34:09.94
Seven plus billion
00:34:09.98\00:34:11.58
on pointing
towards 8 billion almost.
00:34:11.61\00:34:14.62
You know, that's a
few more than 10,000
00:34:14.65\00:34:17.59
and 10, 000 has been
scratched the surface.
00:34:17.62\00:34:19.55
So Rodney and I imagine that
00:34:19.59\00:34:22.29
maybe we should
think of a larger number
00:34:22.32\00:34:24.03
and that we
really did serve a God
00:34:24.06\00:34:25.49
who was capable of
doing the impossible.
00:34:25.53\00:34:28.43
And so, we imagine
maybe 50 or 100,000.
00:34:28.46\00:34:31.63
Then we said, but
that's really nothing either.
00:34:31.67\00:34:33.47
Right.
00:34:33.50\00:34:34.84
And so, Rodney,
what did we imagine?
00:34:34.87\00:34:37.67
Well, we came up to our
first goal of 1 million.
00:34:37.71\00:34:42.94
We're gonna put
it on the screen.
00:34:42.98\00:34:44.31
But we have one more slide
actually that's very powerful,
00:34:44.35\00:34:47.82
which is a
quote from Ellen White
00:34:47.85\00:34:49.38
in a letter to
Waggoner, E.J Waggoner.
00:34:49.42\00:34:51.35
Okay. All right.
Let's look at that quote.
00:34:51.39\00:34:53.32
It says,
00:34:53.36\00:34:54.69
"The theme of
greatest importance
00:34:54.72\00:34:56.56
is the third angel's message,
00:34:56.59\00:34:58.53
which we talked about,
00:34:58.56\00:34:59.89
embracing the messages of
the first and second angels.
00:34:59.93\00:35:03.77
All should understand
00:35:03.80\00:35:05.13
the truths
contained in these messages
00:35:05.17\00:35:07.80
and demonstrate
them in daily life,
00:35:07.84\00:35:11.04
for this is
essential to salvation."
00:35:11.07\00:35:15.01
I have a question,
00:35:15.04\00:35:16.38
whose salvation do you
think it's essential for?
00:35:16.41\00:35:18.61
Mine. Yeah, everyone.
00:35:18.65\00:35:19.98
It's essential for my salvation
00:35:20.02\00:35:21.62
that I be involved in
helping to share this message.
00:35:21.65\00:35:25.05
I believe it's twofold.
00:35:25.09\00:35:27.06
There's a world out there,
00:35:27.09\00:35:28.42
many people have no
idea about a loving God,
00:35:28.46\00:35:31.79
they have no clue
about Jesus Christ
00:35:31.83\00:35:34.43
who died for them.
00:35:34.46\00:35:35.80
You know, the church,
00:35:35.83\00:35:37.17
I'm so thankful
00:35:37.20\00:35:38.53
that our focus is
shifting toward the unreached,
00:35:38.57\00:35:41.24
the 10/40 Window populations,
00:35:41.27\00:35:44.34
two-thirds of the
world's population,
00:35:44.37\00:35:46.21
many of them have never heard
the good news of Jesus Christ,
00:35:46.24\00:35:49.81
let alone the
three angels' message.
00:35:49.84\00:35:52.51
So salvation is for us,
00:35:52.55\00:35:55.42
and for those
that we share with.
00:35:55.45\00:35:56.99
And that's why I
love to do Bible studies
00:35:57.02\00:35:59.95
and why I like to preach,
00:35:59.99\00:36:01.66
because every time I
do, God speaks to me too.
00:36:01.69\00:36:05.69
And He speaks
louder to me if I'm sharing
00:36:05.73\00:36:08.26
than if I'm just
reading on my own.
00:36:08.30\00:36:10.20
Amen. Praise the Lord.
00:36:10.23\00:36:12.30
And you know what, you may
be watching tuning in right now
00:36:12.33\00:36:14.50
for the first time.
00:36:14.54\00:36:15.87
We're here with
President of ASI Ministries,
00:36:15.90\00:36:19.07
Brother Steve Dickman,
00:36:19.11\00:36:20.44
and the Vice
President of Evangelism,
00:36:20.48\00:36:22.78
Brother Rodney
Bowes, again both from ASI.
00:36:22.81\00:36:25.15
We're talking about
00:36:25.18\00:36:26.51
this new three
angels' messages initiative,
00:36:26.55\00:36:29.45
3AM Call
00:36:29.48\00:36:31.09
and how you and me and everyone
00:36:31.12\00:36:32.79
can become involved
00:36:32.82\00:36:34.16
in taking the
gospel to the world
00:36:34.19\00:36:36.52
to as many people as possible.
00:36:36.56\00:36:38.16
And you may be
watching the program,
00:36:38.19\00:36:39.83
you may have a question
00:36:39.86\00:36:41.46
that may be pertaining to
the three angels' messages
00:36:41.50\00:36:43.67
or maybe pertaining
to this new 3AM Call
00:36:43.70\00:36:46.40
evangelistic initiative.
00:36:46.43\00:36:47.77
And we want to tell you
00:36:47.80\00:36:49.14
how you can send in
those questions right now.
00:36:49.17\00:36:51.27
Again, you can text it in
00:36:51.31\00:36:52.84
and the number's right there
on the screen at 618-228-3975.
00:36:52.87\00:36:59.61
Again, 618-228-3975.
00:36:59.65\00:37:03.62
Text in your question
00:37:03.65\00:37:04.99
or you can email
us your question.
00:37:05.02\00:37:08.46
There's the email
address on the screen there
00:37:08.49\00:37:11.59
live@3abn.tv.
00:37:11.63\00:37:14.86
Again, that's live@3abn.tv.
00:37:14.90\00:37:17.57
So send in those questions,
00:37:17.60\00:37:19.00
we'll do our
best to get to those
00:37:19.03\00:37:20.37
during the time
we're together tonight.
00:37:20.40\00:37:22.77
3AM Call,
00:37:22.80\00:37:24.14
you know, as you're
talking about those numbers,
00:37:24.17\00:37:26.01
and we're going to
get back to those numbers,
00:37:26.04\00:37:27.38
because you had a goal number
that you're reaching, right?
00:37:27.41\00:37:29.94
You said you started at
what some 5,000, 10,000.
00:37:29.98\00:37:33.28
And it's like,
what are we doing here?
00:37:33.31\00:37:34.65
You know, that number
seems too small, right?
00:37:34.68\00:37:36.58
Because seven and a half
plus billion people in the world
00:37:36.62\00:37:40.26
that we're living in today.
00:37:40.29\00:37:41.62
And I think what is it
the Adventist membership
00:37:41.66\00:37:42.99
is somewhere north of
20 million, 21 million,
00:37:43.02\00:37:46.13
something like that.
00:37:46.16\00:37:47.50
And I saw, I know we're
going to talk about this
00:37:47.53\00:37:48.90
in a little while.
00:37:48.93\00:37:50.27
You know, I myself do
some evangelistic training
00:37:50.30\00:37:51.63
on the road.
00:37:51.67\00:37:53.00
And I was going through
some of the grow your church,
00:37:53.03\00:37:56.30
you know, presentations,
00:37:56.34\00:37:57.67
and were teaching
people how to evangelize.
00:37:57.71\00:37:59.37
And I think they had put
it, I forget the specific,
00:37:59.41\00:38:03.28
the specific stat,
00:38:03.31\00:38:05.21
but it was
something along the lines of,
00:38:05.25\00:38:07.45
you know, in
the lower percentage
00:38:07.48\00:38:08.88
is that just a small percentage
of Seventh-day Adventist
00:38:08.92\00:38:12.42
would win a soul.
00:38:12.45\00:38:14.22
We all just
focused on winning a soul,
00:38:14.26\00:38:15.92
training one soul for
the mission of God's work,
00:38:15.96\00:38:20.06
creating
disciples for the church,
00:38:20.10\00:38:22.03
it's total member
involvement perspective.
00:38:22.06\00:38:23.93
But it's just like,
00:38:23.97\00:38:25.30
I think it was
somewhere around you know,
00:38:25.33\00:38:26.67
like 10% or 15%, or
something like that,
00:38:26.70\00:38:29.14
that just in 12 years
00:38:29.17\00:38:32.17
we would reach the
world with the gospel.
00:38:32.21\00:38:34.48
And we think of
that, and it's just like
00:38:34.51\00:38:36.04
that just so farfetched, right?
00:38:36.08\00:38:37.81
Seven and a half,
00:38:37.85\00:38:39.18
7.8 billion people in the world,
00:38:39.21\00:38:40.75
and that many
people if you just,
00:38:40.78\00:38:42.38
if each one were to reach one.
00:38:42.42\00:38:44.22
And that kind of sounds
so strange to think about,
00:38:44.25\00:38:46.96
but it's possible.
00:38:46.99\00:38:48.32
It's possible.
00:38:48.36\00:38:49.69
I mean, we wouldn't even be
sitting here talking about it
00:38:49.72\00:38:51.06
if it wasn't possible,
00:38:51.09\00:38:52.43
and for us to
co-labor with the Lord
00:38:52.46\00:38:54.46
in taking the
gospel to the world.
00:38:54.50\00:38:55.83
And that's what this
3AM Call is all about,
00:38:55.86\00:38:59.00
so let's talk about.
00:38:59.03\00:39:00.37
It could
literally happen instantly.
00:39:00.40\00:39:02.54
And I think we've
all seen it in COVID.
00:39:02.57\00:39:05.87
Do you remember
00:39:05.91\00:39:07.24
when the pandemic
first started coming out?
00:39:07.28\00:39:09.78
Yeah. Right.
00:39:09.81\00:39:11.15
How quickly do you think
00:39:11.18\00:39:12.51
the entire
planet knew about COVID?
00:39:12.55\00:39:14.52
I mean, serious,
00:39:14.55\00:39:16.02
you think it was
just a couple of days,
00:39:16.05\00:39:18.59
a couple of weeks
at the most, right?
00:39:18.62\00:39:20.56
And then literally everyone,
00:39:20.59\00:39:22.96
you could have been
in the deepest jungle,
00:39:22.99\00:39:25.33
and I am almost 100% sure
00:39:25.36\00:39:28.43
that they would
have known what it is.
00:39:28.46\00:39:30.10
Before COVID, I used
the example of Coca Cola.
00:39:30.13\00:39:33.27
Because, you know, I've
traveled around the world
00:39:33.30\00:39:35.30
as a missionary and
been to a lot of countries.
00:39:35.34\00:39:38.41
And I have seen that
Coca Cola has a vision.
00:39:38.44\00:39:41.21
Do you know
what their vision is?
00:39:41.24\00:39:42.58
What's that?
00:39:42.61\00:39:43.95
It's a can of coke in the hand
of every person on the planet.
00:39:43.98\00:39:46.61
Wow. That is their vision.
00:39:46.65\00:39:48.18
And they're serious about it.
00:39:48.22\00:39:49.58
If you see the pictures,
00:39:49.62\00:39:50.99
they've got their Coca
Cola on the back of camels.
00:39:51.02\00:39:54.89
They've got it loaded up,
00:39:54.92\00:39:56.32
you know, on people carts
and not oxcarts, but people.
00:39:56.36\00:40:01.03
What if we as a
Seventh-day Adventist Church
00:40:01.06\00:40:03.57
had that same laser focus
00:40:03.60\00:40:06.30
of sharing the
three angels' messages
00:40:06.33\00:40:09.00
with the entire world?
00:40:09.04\00:40:10.37
What could happen?
00:40:10.41\00:40:11.74
So we do have a goal.
00:40:11.77\00:40:13.11
Have a goal now,
yeah, let's talk about that.
00:40:13.14\00:40:14.48
We have a slide
that we want to put up
00:40:14.51\00:40:16.14
that talks about our goal.
00:40:16.18\00:40:17.51
All right.
00:40:17.55\00:40:18.88
And it has to do with our goal
00:40:18.91\00:40:20.78
in relationship to the General
Conference session next year.
00:40:20.82\00:40:24.99
Our goal is inspiring
00:40:25.02\00:40:26.62
and equipping as
many self-supporting,
00:40:26.65\00:40:29.36
this is a key point,
we'll come back to it,
00:40:29.39\00:40:31.39
self-supporting lay missionaries
00:40:31.43\00:40:34.00
as possible to do
comprehensive evangelism,
00:40:34.03\00:40:37.90
specifically sharing
the three angels' messages
00:40:37.93\00:40:41.47
by the General
Conference of 2022.
00:40:41.50\00:40:44.81
A couple of key points,
00:40:44.84\00:40:46.17
self-supporting
lay missionaries.
00:40:46.21\00:40:48.34
Okay.
00:40:48.38\00:40:49.71
We already mentioned
pastors and evangelists.
00:40:49.74\00:40:52.38
They're paid to do that.
00:40:52.41\00:40:53.75
Right? Right.
00:40:53.78\00:40:55.12
We are wanting
to provide materials
00:40:55.15\00:40:57.85
that people can
just do it on their own.
00:40:57.89\00:41:00.29
They don't need to go
out and get a big budget
00:41:00.32\00:41:03.29
and say, I got
to build a TV studio
00:41:03.32\00:41:05.59
or, you know, I
need all this support
00:41:05.63\00:41:08.00
to do this mission.
00:41:08.03\00:41:11.03
We want to put
materials that everyone can use.
00:41:11.07\00:41:13.77
That's right.
00:41:13.80\00:41:15.14
You have a smartphone.
00:41:15.17\00:41:16.67
You have any
connection to internet at all,
00:41:16.71\00:41:20.48
and a lot of the world does.
00:41:20.51\00:41:22.61
The materials are
literally at your fingertips.
00:41:22.64\00:41:25.88
Wow.
00:41:25.91\00:41:27.25
Powerful materials,
00:41:27.28\00:41:29.08
which you started to talk about,
00:41:29.12\00:41:32.12
the Grow initiative.
00:41:32.15\00:41:33.49
Yeah.
00:41:33.52\00:41:34.86
So we talked about a little
bit of the Grow initiative.
00:41:34.89\00:41:36.56
This is something that
I was actually introduced,
00:41:36.59\00:41:38.39
I think back in,
00:41:38.43\00:41:40.13
might have been
the fall, for me,
00:41:40.16\00:41:41.63
at least for the
first time I heard
00:41:41.66\00:41:43.00
it was back in the fall of 2019.
00:41:43.03\00:41:44.70
We had, I think
it was Wes Peppers
00:41:44.73\00:41:46.70
and some
evangelism coordinators.
00:41:46.74\00:41:49.90
Yeah, it was a few,
00:41:49.94\00:41:51.27
a few from the
Michigan Conference.
00:41:51.31\00:41:52.74
And they were about to
start up an evangelistic effort,
00:41:52.77\00:41:55.31
and Wes Peppers
shared that with me.
00:41:55.34\00:41:57.31
And it was
basically, in a nutshell,
00:41:57.35\00:42:00.35
what I had been taught
in my four month program
00:42:00.38\00:42:03.05
at the Amazing Facts
Center of Evangelism,
00:42:03.08\00:42:05.52
just packaged a
little differently
00:42:05.55\00:42:07.02
and communicated a
little differently.
00:42:07.06\00:42:08.66
But when I saw
this Grow initiative,
00:42:08.69\00:42:10.96
it just, it's so simple,
00:42:10.99\00:42:12.43
but it's profound in
the sense that it works.
00:42:12.46\00:42:15.70
I have seen it work,
00:42:15.73\00:42:17.07
I've implemented this
even in my evangelistic effort.
00:42:17.10\00:42:19.93
And if everyone
would just practice it,
00:42:19.97\00:42:22.77
and follow those
steps very simply,
00:42:22.80\00:42:25.94
and allow the Holy Spirit
to lead them to just share.
00:42:25.97\00:42:28.71
And as simple as
sharing a testimony,
00:42:28.74\00:42:31.11
or sharing a few
texts of the Word of God,
00:42:31.15\00:42:32.95
you're sharing
Jesus with someone,
00:42:32.98\00:42:34.92
and it's powerful to see how,
00:42:34.95\00:42:36.79
if you follow those
steps that grow pattern,
00:42:36.82\00:42:39.12
you know, the
preparing of the soil,
00:42:39.15\00:42:41.29
and we're going to
talk about all that.
00:42:41.32\00:42:42.66
But yeah, and even,
00:42:42.69\00:42:44.03
we're gonna even get
into The New Beginnings.
00:42:44.06\00:42:45.79
Talk about how
powerful of a tool
00:42:45.83\00:42:47.56
The New Beginning
series is as well.
00:42:47.60\00:42:49.43
And I've used those as well.
So it's very, very good tools.
00:42:49.46\00:42:53.03
So when we look at
this thing, our objective,
00:42:53.07\00:42:55.80
ASI's objective
00:42:55.84\00:42:57.47
is to empower laypeople
00:42:57.51\00:43:00.44
to help get this
message to the world.
00:43:00.48\00:43:02.21
If you added up
all the preachers
00:43:02.24\00:43:04.88
in the
Seventh-day Adventist Church,
00:43:04.91\00:43:06.82
and each one of
them got very active,
00:43:06.85\00:43:09.78
and maybe had 50
people baptized a year,
00:43:09.82\00:43:12.82
you still have a low number.
00:43:12.85\00:43:14.92
But if you take
all the laypeople,
00:43:14.96\00:43:16.79
and you get them active,
and each just reaches one,
00:43:16.83\00:43:19.19
you yourself have said
how quickly this could grow.
00:43:19.23\00:43:21.96
That's right.
00:43:22.00\00:43:23.33
And so, our objective
is empower the laypeople,
00:43:23.37\00:43:25.97
and let them do
00:43:26.00\00:43:27.64
what God has
already called them to do
00:43:27.67\00:43:30.64
with a variety of tools
00:43:30.67\00:43:32.31
and the variety of
gifts God has given each one.
00:43:32.34\00:43:35.28
We believe that
00:43:35.31\00:43:36.64
this can be a
powerful opportunity for God
00:43:36.68\00:43:39.55
to work through people
00:43:39.58\00:43:41.18
and helping to get
this message to the world.
00:43:41.22\00:43:42.75
So we have a variety of
tools, a simple website,
00:43:42.78\00:43:47.49
people can go
there, they can sign up.
00:43:47.52\00:43:50.23
Rodney's already challenged them
00:43:50.26\00:43:51.59
to go there right
now to start signing up.
00:43:51.63\00:43:53.70
I wonder if anyone signed up.
00:43:53.73\00:43:55.13
Rodney, what do
you think? I think so.
00:43:55.16\00:43:57.60
I think there have been signups.
00:43:57.63\00:43:59.17
But I would like
to mention, though,
00:43:59.20\00:44:01.00
that this is a platform,
it's a learning platform.
00:44:01.04\00:44:04.67
We have a slide
that shows the 3AM Call.
00:44:04.71\00:44:08.54
It shows specifically
the courses that we have,
00:44:08.58\00:44:11.15
because what it is,
is a learning platform.
00:44:11.18\00:44:14.82
And it shows
these courses, right?
00:44:14.85\00:44:17.52
There is, you see the first one
in the upper left hand corner.
00:44:17.55\00:44:20.86
That's the
orientation, the introduction.
00:44:20.89\00:44:23.46
And in that course,
00:44:23.49\00:44:24.83
we encourage people
00:44:24.86\00:44:26.29
to find out what
their spiritual gifts are.
00:44:26.33\00:44:28.13
Yeah.
00:44:28.16\00:44:29.50
You know, we believe that
00:44:29.53\00:44:30.87
every person has
been created by God
00:44:30.90\00:44:33.40
with very unique
talents, their own personality.
00:44:33.44\00:44:36.74
We want to encourage them
00:44:36.77\00:44:38.14
to use that God
given personality
00:44:38.17\00:44:40.98
to share the gospel.
00:44:41.01\00:44:42.74
But I believe that
God is calling all of us
00:44:42.78\00:44:46.08
to get out of our
comfort zone a little bit.
00:44:46.11\00:44:48.55
If we're afraid
of knocking on doors,
00:44:48.58\00:44:50.75
I believe God is
saying give it a try.
00:44:50.79\00:44:53.36
If we're scared
of public speaking,
00:44:53.39\00:44:55.22
give it a try.
00:44:55.26\00:44:56.59
You know, I was
afraid of public speaking
00:44:56.62\00:44:59.89
back in the high
school days, right?
00:44:59.93\00:45:03.20
I remember I was just so nervous
00:45:03.23\00:45:05.17
and so scared.
00:45:05.20\00:45:06.53
Now I love it.
00:45:06.57\00:45:07.90
I mean, I really love to preach,
00:45:07.94\00:45:10.97
share Bible studies with people.
00:45:11.01\00:45:12.61
It is just so amazing.
00:45:12.64\00:45:15.01
So that's number one.
00:45:15.04\00:45:17.08
But you saw the other
things on that screen, right?
00:45:17.11\00:45:19.58
Those are all
modules, their courses.
00:45:19.61\00:45:22.78
And so, ASI
invested in this platform.
00:45:22.82\00:45:26.35
It's a learning platform.
00:45:26.39\00:45:27.92
So every week,
you will get an email,
00:45:27.96\00:45:30.16
and it will say,
00:45:30.19\00:45:31.53
you are completed
with this assignment,
00:45:31.56\00:45:35.20
you have this much to go.
00:45:35.23\00:45:36.97
It's your
reminder to keep you going.
00:45:37.00\00:45:38.87
And there are certificates,
some people have asked,
00:45:38.90\00:45:41.64
"Are there
certificates for this thing?"
00:45:41.67\00:45:43.71
Yes, we have a
little certificate
00:45:43.74\00:45:45.24
that says you have participated
in such and such a course.
00:45:45.27\00:45:49.18
And the first one is grow.
00:45:49.21\00:45:51.21
That is the first one
because we believe that
00:45:51.25\00:45:54.45
every one of us
00:45:54.48\00:45:56.42
as members of the
Seventh-day Adventist Church
00:45:56.45\00:45:59.42
are called to be disciples,
00:45:59.45\00:46:02.66
and disciple makers of Jesus.
00:46:02.69\00:46:06.26
Amen. Praise the Lord.
00:46:06.29\00:46:07.86
So there's the
grow staying there.
00:46:07.90\00:46:10.30
And this is powerful,
00:46:10.33\00:46:11.67
because many
people don't realize that
00:46:11.70\00:46:14.07
in order to be
truthfully successful
00:46:14.10\00:46:16.87
and this grow
00:46:16.91\00:46:18.24
what you're
seeing on the screen here
00:46:18.27\00:46:19.61
is based on that powerful quote
00:46:19.64\00:46:22.48
from Ministry of
Healing, I think page 143,
00:46:22.51\00:46:25.38
where she talks
about Christ method alone.
00:46:25.41\00:46:28.62
Only Christ method alone
00:46:28.65\00:46:29.98
can bring true success
in the evangelistic effort.
00:46:30.02\00:46:32.05
And when we look at that,
00:46:32.09\00:46:33.42
if we can bring that up there
one more time on the screen,
00:46:33.46\00:46:34.92
the grow cycle.
00:46:34.96\00:46:36.29
This is what we
call an evangelism cycle.
00:46:36.32\00:46:38.43
And so when they
take this course,
00:46:38.46\00:46:40.36
so this is a part of the course,
00:46:40.40\00:46:41.93
when they take this
course, you're going to learn
00:46:41.96\00:46:43.43
what it means to go through
00:46:43.47\00:46:44.80
and to implement in your church,
00:46:44.83\00:46:46.53
in your community
an evangelism cycle.
00:46:46.57\00:46:50.17
So you prepare the soil
00:46:50.21\00:46:51.71
and it's based off
00:46:51.74\00:46:53.07
of a kind of an agricultural
planting perspective,
00:46:53.11\00:46:55.71
Jesus used a lot of these
00:46:55.74\00:46:57.08
types of
illustrations in His parables.
00:46:57.11\00:46:59.88
And I can guarantee something.
00:46:59.91\00:47:01.48
Ryan, when you
look at this slide,
00:47:01.52\00:47:03.18
I guarantee you something.
00:47:03.22\00:47:04.62
If you skip one of those
steps, you're in trouble.
00:47:04.65\00:47:07.06
That's right. Absolutely. Okay.
00:47:07.09\00:47:08.42
If you ignore this, say,
00:47:08.46\00:47:09.79
I'm not going to
prepare the soil.
00:47:09.82\00:47:11.16
I'm just going to
go plant, you're done,
00:47:11.19\00:47:13.90
you're not getting the harvest.
00:47:13.93\00:47:15.26
Okay, so that's a very important
00:47:15.30\00:47:17.30
if I'm disciple.
00:47:17.33\00:47:18.67
I'm glad you said that.
00:47:18.70\00:47:20.04
Because many people's
idea is of evangelism is just,
00:47:20.07\00:47:23.00
you know, I will,
I know what this is.
00:47:23.04\00:47:24.57
And I know what the Bible says.
00:47:24.61\00:47:25.94
So I'm just going to
go out there and just,
00:47:25.97\00:47:27.31
you know, share with people,
certainly encouraging that,
00:47:27.34\00:47:29.84
certainly not discouraging that.
00:47:29.88\00:47:31.21
But there has to
be an intelligent,
00:47:31.25\00:47:32.85
methodical way you go about it.
00:47:32.88\00:47:34.38
And I don't know
of a person at all
00:47:34.42\00:47:35.95
that just takes a bag of seeds
00:47:35.98\00:47:37.35
and goes out and throws
seeds on the ground, right?
00:47:37.39\00:47:39.59
On just any type of soil,
you got to prepare that soil
00:47:39.62\00:47:42.46
and prepare them
to receive that seed
00:47:42.49\00:47:44.83
that you're going to plant.
00:47:44.86\00:47:46.19
And that's what the Grow,
00:47:46.23\00:47:47.56
that Grow
initiative is all about.
00:47:47.60\00:47:48.93
It's powerful.
00:47:48.96\00:47:50.30
And what's so beautiful
about this particular course,
00:47:50.33\00:47:52.50
is it has little
five minute videos
00:47:52.53\00:47:55.64
that are put together
00:47:55.67\00:47:57.37
by Pastor Howard
and Kameron DeVasher.
00:47:57.41\00:48:01.01
Yeah, and they are
excellent, just five minutes.
00:48:01.04\00:48:03.38
And then it has a little quiz.
00:48:03.41\00:48:05.31
And it really
encourages us to become engaged.
00:48:05.35\00:48:09.88
Too often we can be,
what do we call them,
00:48:09.92\00:48:13.62
sideline
Christians or just spectators?
00:48:13.66\00:48:17.63
Let me ask a question.
00:48:17.66\00:48:19.06
Is there really such a thing?
00:48:19.09\00:48:20.46
Do those two
things really go together?
00:48:20.50\00:48:21.93
It's an oxymoron, actually.
00:48:21.96\00:48:23.63
Because if we're
a Christ follower,
00:48:23.67\00:48:26.53
and we are not engaged
00:48:26.57\00:48:28.30
in helping to lead
other people to Him,
00:48:28.34\00:48:31.17
are we really Christ follower?
00:48:31.21\00:48:32.54
Because that's
what He was doing.
00:48:32.57\00:48:33.91
That was the work He was doing.
00:48:33.94\00:48:35.61
And if we say,
we're following Christ.
00:48:35.64\00:48:38.28
But yet we're not
engaged in his work,
00:48:38.31\00:48:40.22
what have we really done?
00:48:40.25\00:48:41.58
Right.
00:48:41.62\00:48:43.12
And so what I really
love about this Grow course,
00:48:43.15\00:48:45.75
is that it can be
implemented on a personal level.
00:48:45.79\00:48:48.96
That's right.
00:48:48.99\00:48:50.33
But there's so much synergy.
00:48:50.36\00:48:52.19
If the church can take this,
00:48:52.23\00:48:55.06
bring it to their board
and reinvent the church.
00:48:55.10\00:48:58.43
And I'm so glad that
00:48:58.47\00:48:59.80
you've been involved in
these kinds of trainings.
00:48:59.83\00:49:01.84
I really like the graphic.
00:49:01.87\00:49:03.57
Did you notice it, it says
Grow and then in parentheses,
00:49:03.61\00:49:06.98
it is your church.
00:49:07.01\00:49:08.34
Right.
00:49:08.38\00:49:09.71
You put your name
there, your church.
00:49:09.74\00:49:11.58
That's great.
00:49:11.61\00:49:12.95
I'd like to
encourage all of those
00:49:12.98\00:49:14.78
who are watching
the program right now.
00:49:14.82\00:49:17.09
Just imagine this icon
with your church in that slot.
00:49:17.12\00:49:22.52
That's what God wants to do.
00:49:22.56\00:49:24.03
He wants to grow
your church. Amen.
00:49:24.06\00:49:26.59
I love that, 3AM Call,
three angels' message call.
00:49:26.63\00:49:33.47
And that's what
we're talking about here,
00:49:33.50\00:49:35.94
with our friends from ASI.
00:49:35.97\00:49:38.07
Elder Steve
Dickman, President of ASI
00:49:38.11\00:49:40.58
and Elder Rodney Bowes,
00:49:40.61\00:49:42.84
who is the Vice
President of Evangelism.
00:49:42.88\00:49:45.75
So you know a little
bit about evangelism.
00:49:45.78\00:49:47.18
And I could tell
that you do as well.
00:49:47.22\00:49:48.82
And just hearing
these brothers talk
00:49:48.85\00:49:50.32
and I'm excited
about this effort,
00:49:50.35\00:49:52.25
because it's providing you.
00:49:52.29\00:49:54.32
That's right,
you sitting at home
00:49:54.36\00:49:55.79
with the tools
that you need to learn
00:49:55.82\00:49:58.29
how to be the best witness
00:49:58.33\00:49:59.66
that you could possibly
be right now for Jesus Christ
00:49:59.69\00:50:04.00
as the gospel should
be going to all the world.
00:50:04.03\00:50:05.70
Remember, Jesus
said in Matthew 24,
00:50:05.73\00:50:07.67
that the gospel of His
kingdom must go to all the world
00:50:07.70\00:50:09.87
before He returns.
00:50:09.90\00:50:11.24
And that's what
we're discussing.
00:50:11.27\00:50:12.61
If you're just now tuning in,
00:50:12.64\00:50:13.98
we want to, if you
may, you may have a question
00:50:14.01\00:50:15.34
that you want to submit to us
00:50:15.38\00:50:16.71
and we want to
get to those questions
00:50:16.75\00:50:18.08
in the second hour tonight.
00:50:18.11\00:50:19.45
A couple of
ways you can do that.
00:50:19.48\00:50:20.82
You can text us at 618-228-3975.
00:50:20.85\00:50:25.15
Again, 618-228-3975.
00:50:25.19\00:50:28.22
Text us your question,
00:50:28.26\00:50:29.66
or you can email us
your question if you'd like
00:50:29.69\00:50:32.23
at live@3abn.tv.
00:50:32.26\00:50:35.80
As you see it
there live@3abn.tv.
00:50:35.83\00:50:39.30
Send us in your questions,
00:50:39.33\00:50:40.67
because we're
going to be taking those
00:50:40.70\00:50:42.04
in the second hour.
00:50:42.07\00:50:43.71
And you know, I
have to just say,
00:50:43.74\00:50:45.07
as we're talking
about registering for this,
00:50:45.11\00:50:46.94
because we want people
to register this for, right?
00:50:46.98\00:50:48.88
And I actually did
that 30 minutes before
00:50:48.91\00:50:51.38
we showed up tonight.
00:50:51.41\00:50:52.78
And I can I can...
00:50:52.81\00:50:54.42
We got it.
00:50:54.45\00:50:55.78
We got another
missionary right here.
00:50:55.82\00:50:57.15
Three angels' missionary.
00:50:57.19\00:50:58.52
Was it hard? It wasn't.
00:50:58.55\00:50:59.89
And that's just what I
wanted to witness to right now.
00:50:59.92\00:51:01.46
Because some people like,
00:51:01.49\00:51:02.82
"Well, you know, I'm
not a computer savvy person.
00:51:02.86\00:51:04.39
And you know what they're
talking about sounds great.
00:51:04.43\00:51:06.39
But it just sounds
too complicated for me."
00:51:06.43\00:51:08.23
Let me tell you something,
00:51:08.26\00:51:09.63
you literally go
to their website,
00:51:09.66\00:51:11.23
which we'll put up
there again in just a moment.
00:51:11.27\00:51:13.64
Go to the website, here it is.
00:51:13.67\00:51:16.17
What does that say there?
00:51:16.20\00:51:17.54
The3amcall.org.
00:51:17.57\00:51:20.44
The3amcall.org.
00:51:20.48\00:51:22.71
It's as simple as
going to that website.
00:51:22.74\00:51:25.31
And you click on sign up.
00:51:25.35\00:51:27.25
And literally, I think it
took me less than a minute,
00:51:27.28\00:51:30.09
less than 60 seconds.
00:51:30.12\00:51:31.72
And I was already a
part of the program.
00:51:31.75\00:51:33.76
I was right in there
00:51:33.79\00:51:35.12
and starting my
very first lesson.
00:51:35.16\00:51:38.53
So it's powerful, powerful tool.
00:51:38.56\00:51:40.06
So on the screen,
00:51:40.10\00:51:41.43
you see that big blue button
at the bottom of the screen,
00:51:41.46\00:51:45.43
you click that,
that's all it is,
00:51:45.47\00:51:47.44
you just tap that on
your phone or device,
00:51:47.47\00:51:50.07
click it on your computer
00:51:50.11\00:51:51.47
register to
become a 3AM missionary.
00:51:51.51\00:51:55.21
And then the next screen
says enroll in the course.
00:51:55.24\00:51:58.11
That's right. So
it's two clicks away.
00:51:58.15\00:51:59.81
That's all it is.
00:51:59.85\00:52:01.32
And once you're
in, you've started,
00:52:01.35\00:52:05.05
I'm going to tell you that
00:52:05.09\00:52:06.42
you're going to get an email now
00:52:06.45\00:52:07.79
from me every week.
00:52:07.82\00:52:09.39
And it's going to be practical.
00:52:09.42\00:52:11.13
You remember that
quote that we read
00:52:11.16\00:52:12.99
that Ellen White
wrote to Waggoner,
00:52:13.03\00:52:15.03
and said it needs to be
a practical demonstration
00:52:15.06\00:52:17.83
in the daily life.
00:52:17.87\00:52:19.77
We have what we
call 3AM missions.
00:52:19.80\00:52:23.37
So every week we
have two missions,
00:52:23.41\00:52:25.44
sometimes three
00:52:25.47\00:52:26.88
that are practical ways
00:52:26.91\00:52:28.68
that we can implement
the three angels' messages.
00:52:28.71\00:52:31.98
Amen. Praise the Lord.
00:52:32.01\00:52:33.52
Everything that
we've talked about so far
00:52:33.55\00:52:35.72
with the overall initiative
00:52:35.75\00:52:37.35
and what you're trying
to accomplish with 3AM Call.
00:52:37.39\00:52:40.32
And then we kind of
got into the grow aspect,
00:52:40.36\00:52:44.96
that training session
00:52:44.99\00:52:46.33
that they're going to go through
00:52:46.36\00:52:47.70
to learn about
the evangelism cycle
00:52:47.73\00:52:49.63
that you can do
individually or for your church.
00:52:49.66\00:52:52.10
I just have to read this,
00:52:52.13\00:52:53.47
I referenced the
Ministry of Healing,
00:52:53.50\00:52:55.57
page 143 earlier.
00:52:55.60\00:52:56.94
I want to read
that, I have it here.
00:52:56.97\00:52:58.31
Powerful, this is what it says.
00:52:58.34\00:52:59.77
It says,
00:52:59.81\00:53:01.14
"Christ method alone
will give true success
00:53:01.18\00:53:02.94
in reaching the people.
00:53:02.98\00:53:05.28
The Savior mingled with men
as one who desired their good."
00:53:05.31\00:53:09.25
He was preparing the soil.
00:53:09.28\00:53:10.62
That's right. He
prepared the soil.
00:53:10.65\00:53:11.99
"He showed His
sympathy for them,
00:53:12.02\00:53:14.72
friendship evangelism,
00:53:14.76\00:53:16.32
ministered to their needs,
and won their confidence."
00:53:16.36\00:53:21.03
Okay, planting the seed. Yeah.
00:53:21.06\00:53:23.13
"Then He bade them,
00:53:23.16\00:53:25.20
"Follow Me."
00:53:25.23\00:53:26.57
Okay. The harvest, yeah.
00:53:26.60\00:53:27.94
So then comes the harvest
00:53:27.97\00:53:29.30
and the
nurturing of the disciple,
00:53:29.34\00:53:30.67
the grafting into the mission,
00:53:30.71\00:53:32.04
all of what you talked,
00:53:32.07\00:53:33.41
all that we talked about so far,
00:53:33.44\00:53:34.78
and the Grow
00:53:34.81\00:53:36.14
and all of these different
aspects of this 3AM Call
00:53:36.18\00:53:38.55
is basically based on
00:53:38.58\00:53:40.35
the premise of
Christ method alone.
00:53:40.38\00:53:42.82
And so, I'm
excited about it, guys.
00:53:42.85\00:53:44.29
I just looking at
00:53:44.32\00:53:45.65
all that you had
on the screen there.
00:53:45.69\00:53:47.56
It looks like you
guys have just created
00:53:47.59\00:53:49.12
a Mecca of evangelistic tools
to help the average person.
00:53:49.16\00:53:54.40
Right, I want to
mention something here.
00:53:54.43\00:53:56.20
Rodney and I talked about this,
00:53:56.23\00:53:57.57
as we were
developing this project.
00:53:57.60\00:53:59.53
We said, you know,
00:53:59.57\00:54:00.90
it would be easy
to get distracted.
00:54:00.94\00:54:02.30
Okay.
00:54:02.34\00:54:03.67
And there's a lot of
things and different things
00:54:03.71\00:54:06.21
that exist out
there that are in nature,
00:54:06.24\00:54:10.21
somewhat related to witnessing
00:54:10.25\00:54:11.95
and methods and
different things.
00:54:11.98\00:54:13.31
I said, Rodney,
we've got to work hard
00:54:13.35\00:54:15.35
to make sure that
00:54:15.38\00:54:16.72
whatever we put into this
00:54:16.75\00:54:18.55
is focused on the
three angels' message.
00:54:18.59\00:54:21.66
Absolutely.
00:54:21.69\00:54:23.02
We're not diverted
into something else.
00:54:23.06\00:54:25.89
We want to stay
focused on that message,
00:54:25.93\00:54:27.86
because that's the
message for our world today,
00:54:27.90\00:54:30.50
that we needs to get
to the highest priority,
00:54:30.53\00:54:32.47
needs to get our top skills
00:54:32.50\00:54:34.80
and gifts and
thinking and resources
00:54:34.84\00:54:37.24
put into getting
that message to the world.
00:54:37.27\00:54:40.28
And as I was just looking here
00:54:40.31\00:54:41.98
at Revelation
Chapter 14 in my Bible,
00:54:42.01\00:54:45.01
there's a heading
just above verse 6,
00:54:45.05\00:54:47.45
and it says,
00:54:47.48\00:54:48.82
the harvest of the earth
00:54:48.85\00:54:50.19
is the title of this
section of scripture.
00:54:50.22\00:54:54.89
And as I was
thinking about that,
00:54:54.92\00:54:57.53
I thought, what
we need to make sure
00:54:57.56\00:55:01.10
we know the harvest is coming.
00:55:01.13\00:55:03.63
Jesus is coming.
He's coming soon.
00:55:03.67\00:55:06.70
If you look at the world,
we kind of have to admit that,
00:55:06.74\00:55:10.34
and even people
00:55:10.37\00:55:11.71
who have no religious background
00:55:11.74\00:55:14.18
are asking
questions in today's world.
00:55:14.21\00:55:16.54
What's going on?
00:55:16.58\00:55:17.91
There's
something different today.
00:55:17.95\00:55:19.71
This is not business as usual.
00:55:19.75\00:55:22.32
So they're asking
those kinds of questions
00:55:22.35\00:55:25.09
and the Bible has the answer.
00:55:25.12\00:55:27.26
That's right.
00:55:27.29\00:55:28.62
Yes, you're right, friend,
00:55:28.66\00:55:29.99
we're not living in just
any time in world's history.
00:55:30.03\00:55:32.26
This is a very special
moment in earth's history
00:55:32.29\00:55:35.26
when Jesus is about to come
00:55:35.30\00:55:38.00
and this message of
the harvest is coming,
00:55:38.03\00:55:41.80
you know, is a powerful message
00:55:41.84\00:55:43.17
that needs to reach every heart
00:55:43.20\00:55:45.64
and not in a general way
00:55:45.67\00:55:47.54
but in a very
specific way to our hearts.
00:55:47.58\00:55:50.11
God wants to reach
in and touch us and say,
00:55:50.15\00:55:52.75
I have a place for you.
00:55:52.78\00:55:54.32
In John Chapter 14 He said,
00:55:54.35\00:55:56.58
"I'm preparing a place
for you in My kingdom."
00:55:56.62\00:55:58.45
Amen.
00:55:58.49\00:55:59.82
I've got a special
room prepared for you.
00:55:59.85\00:56:02.52
It's got your name on it.
00:56:02.56\00:56:04.99
What a tragedy it would be
00:56:05.03\00:56:07.16
if we missed telling someone
00:56:07.20\00:56:09.26
or someone missed the message
because I didn't do my job,
00:56:09.30\00:56:13.94
because I
didn't answer the call,
00:56:13.97\00:56:16.07
because I didn't engage
00:56:16.10\00:56:17.44
in recognizing
God's call in my life
00:56:17.47\00:56:20.34
to help get this
message to the world.
00:56:20.38\00:56:22.64
You know when I read the Bible,
00:56:22.68\00:56:24.21
it comes clear to me
00:56:24.25\00:56:26.65
that God is very
broad in His calling.
00:56:26.68\00:56:28.85
That's right.
00:56:28.88\00:56:30.22
If you study He called
farmers, He called physicians,
00:56:30.25\00:56:33.42
He called
priests, He called rabbis,
00:56:33.46\00:56:36.12
He called the business people,
He called all of these people,
00:56:36.16\00:56:40.16
He called fishermen,
00:56:40.20\00:56:41.53
He said follow Me,
00:56:41.56\00:56:42.90
I'm going to
make you a fishermen.
00:56:42.93\00:56:44.27
That's right.
00:56:44.30\00:56:45.63
So, my friend, tonight
00:56:45.67\00:56:47.00
if you're
listening to this program,
00:56:47.04\00:56:48.97
I just want you to know
that God is calling you as well.
00:56:49.00\00:56:52.37
That's right
00:56:52.41\00:56:53.74
This is not some ethereal thing,
00:56:53.78\00:56:55.58
this is not a theory,
it's a practical reality.
00:56:55.61\00:56:58.88
If you read the
Bible, God is calling you.
00:56:58.91\00:57:01.82
He wants you to
engage in His mission.
00:57:01.85\00:57:04.55
He wants to use
you to reach a soul.
00:57:04.59\00:57:07.06
He wants to use you to have
00:57:07.09\00:57:08.79
another one of His
children in His kingdom.
00:57:08.82\00:57:12.43
And if you're thinking tonight
00:57:12.46\00:57:13.80
this is too hard
or I can't do this,
00:57:13.83\00:57:15.60
we're going to share some things
00:57:15.63\00:57:16.97
in our next hour,
00:57:17.00\00:57:18.67
that I believe will
help you change your mind.
00:57:18.70\00:57:21.34
That's right. Amen.
00:57:21.37\00:57:22.94
Hey, we just got
this engine going, right?
00:57:22.97\00:57:26.41
We still have lots more
00:57:26.44\00:57:27.78
to talk about
in our second hour.
00:57:27.81\00:57:29.14
Don't go away,
00:57:29.18\00:57:30.65
and if you haven't sent in
those questions, get them in.
00:57:30.68\00:57:33.11
We're going to
take just a short break.
00:57:33.15\00:57:34.65
We'll be back in our second hour
00:57:34.68\00:57:36.62
to talk more about this 3AM Call
00:57:36.65\00:57:39.42
with our ASI friends.
00:57:39.45\00:57:40.79
So don't go anywhere.
00:57:40.82\00:57:42.42
See you right back
here in just a moment.
00:57:42.46\00:57:43.99
