Amen. Welcome back, my friends.
00:00:10.11\00:00:12.14
We have been
talking about evangelism.
00:00:12.17\00:00:14.58
We're talking
about how we all myself,
00:00:14.61\00:00:16.81
you can reach the
world and play our role
00:00:16.85\00:00:20.35
and play a major
part in reaching the world
00:00:20.38\00:00:22.22
with the everlasting gospel
00:00:22.25\00:00:23.69
during these
very interesting times
00:00:23.72\00:00:25.95
that we're living in.
00:00:25.99\00:00:27.32
We know Jesus is
indeed coming soon.
00:00:27.36\00:00:28.76
And we're here with our friends
from ASI, Elder Steve Dickman,
00:00:28.79\00:00:33.46
President of ASI,
and Elder Rodney Bowes,
00:00:33.50\00:00:36.90
Vice President of
Evangelism for ASI.
00:00:36.93\00:00:39.70
And we, then this last
hour, we learned so much about
00:00:39.73\00:00:42.04
the new 3AM Call initiative,
00:00:42.07\00:00:45.27
evangelism
initiative that you guys,
00:00:45.31\00:00:47.04
the Lord inspired you actually
here last year on 3ABN campus.
00:00:47.08\00:00:50.61
And here we are a year later
and this thing is coming alive,
00:00:50.65\00:00:54.08
and I'm very excited about it.
00:00:54.12\00:00:55.62
But before we get
into more details of this,
00:00:55.65\00:00:59.75
just a few moments ago,
as we were going to break,
00:00:59.79\00:01:02.76
we got some good
news about registration
00:01:02.79\00:01:06.46
for the upcoming ASI
session in '21, 2021.
00:01:06.49\00:01:11.47
Brother Steve, would you
like to tell us about that?
00:01:11.50\00:01:13.57
So we have just
finished a few days ago,
00:01:13.60\00:01:17.37
renegotiating a contract
00:01:17.41\00:01:19.74
to meet at Rosen
Shingle Creek Resort
00:01:19.77\00:01:22.58
in Orlando, Florida.
00:01:22.61\00:01:23.98
Some of you have may have been
00:01:24.01\00:01:25.35
there before with us, a
beautiful resort area there.
00:01:25.38\00:01:27.78
This summer,
August 4 through 7, 2021,
00:01:27.82\00:01:31.69
we will be there together again.
00:01:31.72\00:01:33.05
All right.
00:01:33.09\00:01:34.42
And registration
is now open and live.
00:01:34.46\00:01:37.36
So you can go
there to our website,
00:01:37.39\00:01:39.63
asiministries.org,
and you can register
00:01:39.66\00:01:44.30
for our convention
at August 4 through 7,
00:01:44.33\00:01:47.90
and you can join us there.
00:01:47.94\00:01:49.40
Now, things are going to
be a little bit different.
00:01:49.44\00:01:51.87
It's true.
00:01:51.91\00:01:53.24
We're gonna have to
practice some social distancing.
00:01:53.27\00:01:55.48
We're gonna have to...
00:01:55.51\00:01:57.18
We're kind of reducing
the number of seminars,
00:01:57.21\00:01:59.68
allowing more time
for personal networking
00:01:59.71\00:02:02.78
and fellowship and interaction,
00:02:02.82\00:02:04.85
but we'll still
have our exhibit hall.
00:02:04.89\00:02:06.99
We will have our
main sessions together.
00:02:07.02\00:02:10.19
We'll be doing a
little different seating,
00:02:10.23\00:02:11.73
but we're going
to be there together.
00:02:11.76\00:02:13.13
And we're just
looking forward to this.
00:02:13.16\00:02:15.03
And, friends, if
you've never been
00:02:15.06\00:02:16.46
to an ASI Convention,
00:02:16.50\00:02:18.03
we're inviting you
to join us in Orlando.
00:02:18.07\00:02:20.37
It's gonna be an
exciting time together.
00:02:20.40\00:02:22.04
Hearing stories and
testimonies of laypeople
00:02:22.07\00:02:25.57
who are spreading
00:02:25.61\00:02:27.08
the three angels'
messages to the world.
00:02:27.11\00:02:29.91
It's...
00:02:29.94\00:02:31.28
You know, I love
our ASI Conventions.
00:02:31.31\00:02:33.65
I always leave them inspired.
00:02:33.68\00:02:35.82
And so if you're thinking about
joining us, go to this website,
00:02:35.85\00:02:39.49
asiministries.org,
and sign up register
00:02:39.52\00:02:43.49
for our convention
in Orlando, Florida,
00:02:43.53\00:02:45.89
August 4 through 7.
00:02:45.93\00:02:47.26
We're excited that
we can bring you that
00:02:47.30\00:02:49.03
good news here this evening.
00:02:49.06\00:02:50.63
And let you know
registration is open
00:02:50.67\00:02:53.10
and you can be a part
of the ASI Convention.
00:02:53.13\00:02:55.97
You don't have to be a member.
00:02:56.00\00:02:57.47
You can come as a visitor.
00:02:57.51\00:02:59.07
You can join us there and
appreciate the interaction,
00:02:59.11\00:03:02.24
the fellowship, the
inspiration you will get.
00:03:02.28\00:03:05.01
Our goal is when
people leave this convention,
00:03:05.05\00:03:07.62
they will be inspired.
00:03:07.65\00:03:09.42
They will be enthused to leave
and go forward to share these
00:03:09.45\00:03:13.29
three angels'
messages with the world.
00:03:13.32\00:03:15.86
Amen. I love it.
00:03:15.89\00:03:17.23
Beautiful. I'm
excited about that.
00:03:17.26\00:03:18.59
I'm excited
too. Praise the Lord.
00:03:18.63\00:03:20.90
And again, we want to tell
you if you have any questions,
00:03:20.93\00:03:23.03
I'm actually
holding some right here
00:03:23.06\00:03:24.40
that just came in.
00:03:24.43\00:03:25.77
I'm gonna be asking
those in just a moment.
00:03:25.80\00:03:27.17
If you have some
questions you'd like to submit,
00:03:27.20\00:03:29.47
couple of ways you can
do that, of course, by text,
00:03:29.50\00:03:31.87
you'll see the
number on the screen there
00:03:31.91\00:03:33.24
(618) 228-3975, text it into us
00:03:33.27\00:03:38.25
or you can email
us your question.
00:03:38.28\00:03:40.58
There it is right
there live@3abn.tv.
00:03:40.62\00:03:45.12
So send us in your questions.
00:03:45.15\00:03:46.55
Guys, I've got a
couple of them here for you.
00:03:46.59\00:03:48.62
And the first
one, pretty simple.
00:03:48.66\00:03:50.49
It says, this is coming
from Marshall, by the way.
00:03:50.53\00:03:53.33
And Marshall says,
Will the 3AM Call program
00:03:53.36\00:03:57.43
be available in
other languages?"
00:03:57.47\00:04:00.77
Well, Rodney, what about this?
00:04:00.80\00:04:02.54
So we're gonna
do other languages.
00:04:02.57\00:04:04.51
Well, if we're
faithful to the commission that
00:04:04.54\00:04:07.51
we have here in
Revelation, it has to be.
00:04:07.54\00:04:10.78
So yes, ASI has
developed a translation engine
00:04:10.81\00:04:15.68
so that we can quickly translate
00:04:15.72\00:04:19.35
the material and prepare slides
00:04:19.39\00:04:21.59
and so forth
into other languages.
00:04:21.62\00:04:24.26
So what we
need... Already though...
00:04:24.29\00:04:26.13
Already we have 35
languages translated
00:04:26.16\00:04:30.03
with the New Beginnings tool,
00:04:30.07\00:04:31.40
which we're gonna talk
about in a few minutes.
00:04:31.43\00:04:32.77
Right.
00:04:32.80\00:04:34.14
So there are already
00:04:34.17\00:04:35.50
some things that are translated.
00:04:35.54\00:04:36.87
Now, the training itself
00:04:36.91\00:04:39.11
is going to be a
little more challenging
00:04:39.14\00:04:41.31
to get it translated
into many, many languages,
00:04:41.34\00:04:44.55
but probably we have to start
00:04:44.58\00:04:45.95
with some of the major languages
00:04:45.98\00:04:47.32
of the world.
00:04:47.35\00:04:48.68
Sure.
00:04:48.72\00:04:50.05
But our goal is
that every layperson
00:04:50.09\00:04:52.09
in the Seventh-day
Adventist Church be empowered.
00:04:52.12\00:04:55.19
And if that means we
need to create this tool
00:04:55.22\00:04:57.06
in their language,
00:04:57.09\00:04:58.43
then that's just one
more thing on our to-do list.
00:04:58.46\00:05:01.03
That's right. It's
certainly possible.
00:05:01.06\00:05:02.70
With technology today, you know,
00:05:02.73\00:05:04.20
we can leverage what we have
00:05:04.23\00:05:06.00
and there are
some amazing things.
00:05:06.03\00:05:08.20
So what I was saying earlier
is we need translators though.
00:05:08.24\00:05:12.77
So maybe there's
someone who's watching tonight
00:05:12.81\00:05:15.04
and you are
inspired and you say,
00:05:15.08\00:05:17.98
we've got to get this
material in my language.
00:05:18.01\00:05:21.22
Please reach out to us.
00:05:21.25\00:05:22.95
And we would love
to partner with you
00:05:22.98\00:05:26.39
in getting this material done.
00:05:26.42\00:05:27.96
We have a whole
process for translation.
00:05:27.99\00:05:30.06
So we're
looking for translators.
00:05:30.09\00:05:31.43
Amen.
00:05:31.46\00:05:32.79
Well, I can tell
you with certainty,
00:05:32.83\00:05:34.33
not that I'm a
prophet or anything,
00:05:34.36\00:05:36.06
but I know for certainty
00:05:36.10\00:05:37.43
that it's gonna be
put in other languages
00:05:37.47\00:05:39.13
because right there in
our first angel's message,
00:05:39.17\00:05:41.74
it says, to every
nation, tribe, tongue,
00:05:41.77\00:05:45.67
and people, and we
know this is from the Lord
00:05:45.71\00:05:48.01
and it's gonna be out
there for every person
00:05:48.04\00:05:50.35
in every language to receive.
00:05:50.38\00:05:51.71
So praise the Lord for that.
00:05:51.75\00:05:53.21
And different parts of it
00:05:53.25\00:05:54.58
are coming
together at different times.
00:05:54.62\00:05:56.65
We're going to
talk in our next segment
00:05:56.69\00:05:59.25
about the health
evangelism component.
00:05:59.29\00:06:02.09
And I actually
00:06:02.12\00:06:03.46
just completed
recordings in Japanese.
00:06:03.49\00:06:05.53
Okay.
00:06:05.56\00:06:06.90
Not that I was
speaking Japanese,
00:06:06.93\00:06:08.83
but we got it done.
00:06:08.86\00:06:10.27
We worked together
with the church in Japan.
00:06:10.30\00:06:11.77
Sure.
00:06:11.80\00:06:13.13
And so I'm speaking,
my slides are in Japanese.
00:06:13.17\00:06:17.07
And so, it's a beautifully done.
00:06:17.11\00:06:19.91
So that's our
plan. We want to do it.
00:06:19.94\00:06:22.14
And you weren't
speaking Japanese.
00:06:22.18\00:06:23.51
Now I know enough to know that
00:06:23.55\00:06:24.88
that's not, you
weren't had a translator.
00:06:24.91\00:06:27.02
No, it was a
voiceover. Oh, okay.
00:06:27.05\00:06:30.29
So I was doing the talking
00:06:30.32\00:06:31.75
and the slide was in
Japanese and then the voiceover.
00:06:31.79\00:06:34.86
I see. Very interesting.
00:06:34.89\00:06:36.89
It's amazing what
technology can do.
00:06:36.93\00:06:38.66
It's incredible. Yeah.
00:06:38.69\00:06:40.76
Praise the Lord
for that. All right.
00:06:40.80\00:06:42.56
Second question here comes
in. We had Marshall last time.
00:06:42.60\00:06:45.90
This one says
Marchelle and this person says,
00:06:45.93\00:06:49.20
"Would you
please repeat the quote
00:06:49.24\00:06:51.11
as well as the
reference from EJ Waggoner,
00:06:51.14\00:06:53.94
referring to the
three angels' message."
00:06:53.98\00:06:56.04
They said "That was awesome that
00:06:56.08\00:06:57.41
you mentioned their message."
00:06:57.45\00:06:58.78
So the quote from EJ Waggoner,
00:06:58.81\00:07:00.55
could we pull that
back up maybe, there it is.
00:07:00.58\00:07:02.48
And if you want to
read that for us, Brother.
00:07:02.52\00:07:03.85
Sure, "The theme
of greatest importance
00:07:03.89\00:07:06.62
is the third angel's message,
00:07:06.65\00:07:09.26
embracing the messages of
the first and second angels.
00:07:09.29\00:07:13.56
All should understand the truth
contained in these messages
00:07:13.60\00:07:17.73
and demonstrate
them in daily life,
00:07:17.77\00:07:21.34
for this is
essential to salvation."
00:07:21.37\00:07:25.81
Amen.
00:07:25.84\00:07:27.18
That's pretty straightforward.
00:07:27.21\00:07:28.68
I like that. That's powerful.
00:07:28.71\00:07:30.05
Clear as could be.
00:07:30.08\00:07:31.41
And we have... Yeah, go ahead.
00:07:31.45\00:07:32.78
Now there's one
more question here.
00:07:32.81\00:07:34.15
Okay, go ahead.
00:07:34.18\00:07:35.52
That came in and
this is what it says.
00:07:35.55\00:07:38.29
It says, I was completing
00:07:38.32\00:07:39.65
the ASI created a
new account, Rodney.
00:07:39.69\00:07:41.12
So they're on this.
00:07:41.16\00:07:42.49
They're
registering. That's good.
00:07:42.52\00:07:43.86
I want you to take note of that.
00:07:43.89\00:07:45.23
I got it. You're worked.
00:07:45.26\00:07:46.59
He says, "As I was signing
up, it asked my local church,
00:07:46.63\00:07:49.60
but I don't, do not belong to
00:07:49.63\00:07:50.97
a Seventh-day Adventist
Church as I am a Christian.
00:07:51.00\00:07:53.20
But during the
pandemic, I began watching 3ABN
00:07:53.23\00:07:56.04
and want to share
the 3ABN messages.
00:07:56.07\00:07:59.17
And I am thinking about joining.
00:07:59.21\00:08:00.68
Can I still be an
ASI 3ABN missionary?"
00:08:00.71\00:08:04.88
What do you say,
Rodney? Hallelujah.
00:08:04.91\00:08:06.95
Amen. Praise the Lord. Amen.
00:08:06.98\00:08:09.02
Whoever submitted that question,
00:08:09.05\00:08:10.92
I personally want
to say, thank you,
00:08:10.95\00:08:13.29
God bless you for
listening to the Holy Spirit,
00:08:13.32\00:08:16.32
bringing you into
this last day message.
00:08:16.36\00:08:18.96
And you know what?
00:08:18.99\00:08:20.33
We've had several
people who have submitted
00:08:20.36\00:08:22.40
the same
question to me by email.
00:08:22.43\00:08:24.47
I've had to
reverend so-and-so, bishop,
00:08:24.50\00:08:27.24
pastor from all kinds
of different denominations.
00:08:27.27\00:08:30.41
I'm reminded of
when this message
00:08:30.44\00:08:32.74
was first preached in the 1800s.
00:08:32.77\00:08:35.28
You remember when William Miller
00:08:35.31\00:08:37.01
and his
associates were preaching,
00:08:37.05\00:08:39.31
the judgment hour message?
00:08:39.35\00:08:40.85
People were coming
in from everywhere.
00:08:40.88\00:08:42.68
It wasn't about denomination.
00:08:42.72\00:08:44.45
It was about truth. Amen.
00:08:44.49\00:08:46.15
And so I'll tell you
what they put on this one.
00:08:46.19\00:08:49.06
We'd like to have you
put none yet, none yet
00:08:49.09\00:08:54.20
for your local
Seventh-day Adventist Church,
00:08:54.23\00:08:56.40
because we believe that
00:08:56.43\00:08:57.77
God is bringing
people in, so none yet is
00:08:57.80\00:09:01.40
how you would
respond to that question.
00:09:01.44\00:09:02.77
That's nice.
00:09:02.80\00:09:04.14
And, Rodney, then
we'll be able to know that
00:09:04.17\00:09:07.71
indeed his appeal
has been effective
00:09:07.74\00:09:11.15
and the Holy Spirit
has worked on hearts.
00:09:11.18\00:09:13.42
And there are people
00:09:13.45\00:09:14.82
who will be hearing this message
00:09:14.85\00:09:16.72
and sharing this message
00:09:16.75\00:09:18.42
that maybe have
never even known it before,
00:09:18.45\00:09:21.09
but they're gonna
become acquainted with it.
00:09:21.12\00:09:22.72
They're gonna share it.
00:09:22.76\00:09:24.09
And it's gonna be powerful
to see what God is going to do.
00:09:24.13\00:09:26.46
It's God's message. Yeah.
00:09:26.49\00:09:28.00
It is God's final appeal.
00:09:28.03\00:09:30.03
Amen. Praise the Lord.
00:09:30.07\00:09:32.13
Well, we have a
couple more questions.
00:09:32.17\00:09:33.87
We're gonna get to
those throughout the hour.
00:09:33.90\00:09:35.90
Yeah, go ahead,
Brother. You know what?
00:09:35.94\00:09:37.31
We forgot to put
up the other quote.
00:09:37.34\00:09:39.84
Good point. We
shared two quotes.
00:09:39.87\00:09:42.44
Okay. That's right.
00:09:42.48\00:09:43.81
And we had the one for
Ellen White to Waggoner.
00:09:43.85\00:09:46.21
The other one was
00:09:46.25\00:09:47.78
from the book
Evangelism, page 119.
00:09:47.82\00:09:51.39
Absolutely. There it is.
00:09:51.42\00:09:52.75
Go ahead and read that for us.
00:09:52.79\00:09:54.12
"In a special sense
Seventh-day Adventists
00:09:54.16\00:09:56.62
have been set in the world
as watchmen and light-bearers.
00:09:56.66\00:09:59.96
To them has been
entrusted the last warning
00:10:00.00\00:10:02.76
for a perishing world.
00:10:02.80\00:10:04.63
On them is
shining wonderful light
00:10:04.67\00:10:06.77
from the Word of God.
00:10:06.80\00:10:08.97
And then, they have been
00:10:09.00\00:10:10.67
given a work of
the most solemn import,
00:10:10.71\00:10:14.01
the proclamation of the first,
00:10:14.04\00:10:17.25
second and third
angels' messages.
00:10:17.28\00:10:19.81
There is no other work
of so great importance.
00:10:19.85\00:10:23.42
They are to allow nothing
else to absorb their attention."
00:10:23.45\00:10:28.82
Nothing else.
May the Lord help us.
00:10:28.86\00:10:30.36
That's right.
00:10:30.39\00:10:31.73
May the Lord help us,
00:10:31.76\00:10:33.09
that's what I'm
exactly say for myself.
00:10:33.13\00:10:34.46
I mean, I'm just
thinking about this.
00:10:34.50\00:10:36.10
What this is telling me
00:10:36.13\00:10:37.63
is this needs to
be my top priority.
00:10:37.67\00:10:39.40
Yeah.
00:10:39.43\00:10:40.77
And can you see how
the devil is working
00:10:40.80\00:10:43.07
to squeeze everything
with whatever pandemic crisis,
00:10:43.10\00:10:48.74
whatever it is to
get our mind off of this,
00:10:48.78\00:10:53.15
that should absorb our attention
00:10:53.18\00:10:54.82
and get us focused on
whatever else it could be.
00:10:54.85\00:10:56.82
That's right. Could
be ton of other things.
00:10:56.85\00:10:58.19
There's politics
or whatever it is.
00:10:58.22\00:11:00.79
Right.
00:11:00.82\00:11:02.16
When we are
distracted, the devil is happy.
00:11:02.19\00:11:04.46
That's right. Absolutely.
00:11:04.49\00:11:06.39
We've got to stay
laser focused on the mission.
00:11:06.43\00:11:08.53
Absolutely. That's who we are.
00:11:08.56\00:11:10.73
And we have been called as
a people in these last days
00:11:10.77\00:11:13.37
to take this everlasting
gospel to all the world.
00:11:13.40\00:11:16.87
And that's what
we're talking about tonight
00:11:16.91\00:11:18.74
as we are
discussing this 3AM Call.
00:11:18.77\00:11:21.34
Again, if you wanna
send in those questions,
00:11:21.38\00:11:23.24

00:11:23.28\00:11:27.78
Or you can email us
that is at live@3abn.tv.
00:11:27.82\00:11:32.75
But before we
go on to talk about
00:11:32.79\00:11:35.52
some more of this 3AM Call,
00:11:35.56\00:11:37.23
we have one more
special music number
00:11:37.26\00:11:39.49
brought to us again
by Miss Stephanie Dawn.
00:11:39.53\00:11:41.93
Love her voice, love her music.
00:11:41.96\00:11:43.60
And this time she's
going to be playing for us,
00:11:43.63\00:11:46.47
"I Surrender All."
00:11:46.50\00:11:48.74
Amen. Amen.
00:11:48.77\00:11:50.11
All to Jesus
00:12:07.19\00:12:10.56
I surrender
00:12:10.59\00:12:14.00
All to Him
00:12:14.03\00:12:16.70
I freely give
00:12:16.73\00:12:21.60
I will ever love and trust Him
00:12:21.64\00:12:28.48
In His presence
00:12:28.51\00:12:32.08
Daily live
00:12:32.11\00:12:36.45
All to Jesus I surrender
00:12:36.48\00:12:43.32
Humbly at His feet I bow
00:12:43.36\00:12:50.27
Worldly pleasures
00:12:50.30\00:12:54.50
All forsaken
00:12:54.54\00:12:57.77
Take me, Jesus,
00:12:57.81\00:13:01.21
Take me now
00:13:01.24\00:13:05.58
I surrender all
00:13:05.61\00:13:12.45
I surrender all
00:13:12.49\00:13:17.56
All to Thee, my blessed Savior
00:13:20.60\00:13:27.57
I surrender all
00:13:27.60\00:13:32.71
All to Jesus I surrender
00:13:36.31\00:13:43.02
Make me, Savior, wholly Thine
00:13:43.05\00:13:49.96
Fill me with thy Holy Spirit
00:13:49.99\00:13:56.93
Truly know that
00:13:56.97\00:14:00.64
Thou art mine
00:14:00.67\00:14:04.57
I surrender all
00:14:04.61\00:14:11.25
I surrender all
00:14:11.28\00:14:16.62
All to Thee,
00:14:19.82\00:14:22.52
My blessed Savior
00:14:22.56\00:14:27.10
I surrender all
00:14:27.13\00:14:32.30
All to Jesus
00:14:44.98\00:14:48.25
I surrender
00:14:48.28\00:14:51.49
Now I feel the sacred flame
00:14:51.52\00:14:58.49
Oh, the joy of full salvation!
00:14:58.53\00:15:05.13
Glory, glory,
00:15:05.17\00:15:08.54
To His name!
00:15:08.57\00:15:12.57
I surrender all
00:15:12.61\00:15:19.21
I surrender all
00:15:19.25\00:15:23.99
All to Thee, my blessed Savior
00:15:27.06\00:15:34.03
I surrender all
00:15:34.06\00:15:39.70
Oh, I surrender all
00:15:39.73\00:15:44.47
I surrender all
00:15:47.58\00:15:53.11
All to Thee,
00:15:58.02\00:16:00.92
My blessed Savior
00:16:00.96\00:16:05.19
I surrender all
00:16:08.23\00:16:14.50
Oh, what a blessing.
00:16:31.19\00:16:32.75
Thank you so
much there, Stephanie,
00:16:32.79\00:16:34.52
it's beautiful,
beautiful singing as always,
00:16:34.56\00:16:37.53
all to Jesus,
00:16:37.56\00:16:38.96
I surrender all to
Him, I freely give.
00:16:38.99\00:16:41.86
Isn't that what the
gospel is all about?
00:16:41.90\00:16:43.43
It's all about giving ourselves
to Jesus Christ fully 100%.
00:16:43.47\00:16:47.07
And you know what?
00:16:47.10\00:16:48.44
We have that divine
commission where Jesus says,
00:16:48.47\00:16:50.44
"Go ye into all
nations, baptizing them
00:16:50.47\00:16:52.94
in the name of the
Father and of the Son
00:16:52.97\00:16:54.81
and the Holy
Spirit, teaching them
00:16:54.84\00:16:57.15
and baptizing them,
00:16:57.18\00:16:58.51
continuing to teach them,
continuing to make disciples
00:16:58.55\00:17:01.45
for all nations."
00:17:01.48\00:17:02.82
That's what we're here to do.
00:17:02.85\00:17:04.19
And that's what
we're here talking tonight
00:17:04.22\00:17:05.55
with our friends from ASI.
00:17:05.59\00:17:07.46
And you know, I
just wanna encourage you
00:17:07.49\00:17:09.46
as you're
watching at home today.
00:17:09.49\00:17:10.83
I know you guys
can echo this as well.
00:17:10.86\00:17:12.73
When you have the
Holy Spirit, right?
00:17:12.76\00:17:14.50
When we have the promise
00:17:14.53\00:17:16.16
and scripture, Jesus
said, in fact, His last words
00:17:16.20\00:17:19.37
before He would
ascend into the heavens,
00:17:19.40\00:17:21.64
He said, when you
receive the Holy Spirit,
00:17:21.67\00:17:24.61
you shall receive
power to be a witness.
00:17:24.64\00:17:27.48
And you know what?
00:17:27.51\00:17:28.84
That the way you
witness, you know,
00:17:28.88\00:17:30.35
we all witnessed in
different capacities
00:17:30.38\00:17:31.88
in different ways.
00:17:31.91\00:17:33.25
And that's what this
3AM Call is all about.
00:17:33.28\00:17:35.08
It provides us with the
tools to be the best witness
00:17:35.12\00:17:37.95
that we can be for Jesus Christ.
00:17:37.99\00:17:39.85
And so I'm excited about it.
00:17:39.89\00:17:41.89
And we have
still lots to discuss
00:17:41.92\00:17:43.83
about the different
aspects of this 3AM Call.
00:17:43.86\00:17:47.20
I do want to...
00:17:47.23\00:17:48.56
Wouldn't we have a
couple of that came in
00:17:48.60\00:17:50.27
and I wanna ask one right here,
00:17:50.30\00:17:51.73
it seems like maybe a simple one
00:17:51.77\00:17:53.10
that can be answered.
00:17:53.13\00:17:54.47
This comes from Shawn.
00:17:54.50\00:17:55.84
And Shawn says,
00:17:55.87\00:17:57.21
"Exactly what would my part be?"
00:17:57.24\00:18:00.11
What would his part be?
00:18:00.14\00:18:01.48
I love it. I love
it. It's a good question.
00:18:01.51\00:18:03.01
So what happens after
you register on Sunday,
00:18:03.04\00:18:07.08
you will get an email,
00:18:07.12\00:18:08.52
the title is the
3AM weekly missions.
00:18:08.55\00:18:13.39
And there are two or
three weekly missions
00:18:13.42\00:18:16.39
that are very practical.
00:18:16.42\00:18:18.53
They talk about
00:18:18.56\00:18:19.89
how we can do
Christ method alone.
00:18:19.93\00:18:22.43
It gives a list of things that
you can do for your neighbor.
00:18:22.46\00:18:25.23
You know, a lot
of us don't even know
00:18:25.27\00:18:26.60
our neighbors.
00:18:26.63\00:18:27.97
That's the reality.
So what's the first step?
00:18:28.00\00:18:30.71
You get to know
your neighbor, right?
00:18:30.74\00:18:32.77
And it gives you an idea,
00:18:32.81\00:18:34.71
bake some bread
or bring some cookies
00:18:34.74\00:18:38.18
or whatever it is it's
getting to know your neighbor.
00:18:38.21\00:18:41.28
So, Shawn, an
excellent question.
00:18:41.32\00:18:44.09
We have over...
00:18:44.12\00:18:46.05
I mean, we have hundreds
00:18:46.09\00:18:47.42
of different
practical things like that
00:18:47.46\00:18:49.42
that you can do
to witness to people,
00:18:49.46\00:18:51.76
winning their confidence.
00:18:51.79\00:18:53.60
And then we have all the
tools to share the message,
00:18:53.63\00:18:57.53
which is the, the meat,
00:18:57.57\00:18:59.50
the heart of the gospel in
the three angels' messages.
00:18:59.53\00:19:02.74
Amen. Praise the Lord.
00:19:02.77\00:19:04.11
I love that. Brother, go ahead.
00:19:04.14\00:19:05.47
So Rodney, Bob from
Wyoming has a question for you.
00:19:05.51\00:19:10.65
I love it. Okay.
00:19:10.68\00:19:12.01
So Bob says, "I'm interested
in being a part of this
00:19:12.05\00:19:14.55
3AM Call missionary group
that but we're senior citizens
00:19:14.58\00:19:19.52
and just staying
home most of the time.
00:19:19.55\00:19:22.12
My question is, is
if you have some tools
00:19:22.16\00:19:25.93
that can enhance our
capacity for the Lord?"
00:19:25.96\00:19:29.00
Amen.
00:19:29.03\00:19:30.37
Bob, thank you so
much for that question.
00:19:30.40\00:19:32.83
Yes.
00:19:32.87\00:19:34.20
This is
available for every person,
00:19:34.24\00:19:37.27
no matter what the
age is in this category,
00:19:37.31\00:19:39.87
senior citizens, you know,
00:19:39.91\00:19:41.44
actually we have developed this
00:19:41.48\00:19:43.45
so that it is built in,
it's part of the curriculum
00:19:43.48\00:19:47.08
that you have to
share it with others.
00:19:47.12\00:19:49.45
Now, a lot of what is done
00:19:49.48\00:19:51.05
is on our
social media platforms.
00:19:51.09\00:19:53.36
So if you don't have
a Facebook account yet,
00:19:53.39\00:19:56.46
create one,
that's step number one.
00:19:56.49\00:19:59.19
And all of us
have different ways
00:19:59.23\00:20:02.26
that we can share
electronically, right?
00:20:02.30\00:20:05.23
How many people
have email accounts?
00:20:05.27\00:20:06.94
That's right. Most people.
00:20:06.97\00:20:08.37
Most people have email,
right? That's the basic thing.
00:20:08.40\00:20:11.04
Rodney, they're in
the senior category.
00:20:11.07\00:20:12.51
Now there might be
a few senior citizens
00:20:12.54\00:20:14.28
who'd rather write a letter.
00:20:14.31\00:20:16.14
That's totally fine as well.
00:20:16.18\00:20:17.55
Okay. That is totally fine.
00:20:17.58\00:20:19.55
It doesn't have
to be only digital.
00:20:19.58\00:20:21.48
Right.
00:20:21.52\00:20:22.85
Digital is the main way,
00:20:22.88\00:20:24.72
but writing letters and
adding in the Glow tract
00:20:24.75\00:20:28.86
on the three angels' messages,
how many people get bills?
00:20:28.89\00:20:34.03
Yeah. Right?
00:20:34.06\00:20:35.40
Yeah, sure. And you know what?
00:20:35.43\00:20:36.77
That's free witnessing
00:20:36.80\00:20:38.13
because there's
a return envelope
00:20:38.17\00:20:39.67
and it says postage paid, right?
00:20:39.70\00:20:42.17
I love that.
00:20:42.20\00:20:43.54
Glow track,
three angels' messages.
00:20:43.57\00:20:45.77
There's a three angels' messages
00:20:45.81\00:20:47.41
Glow track, the final call.
00:20:47.44\00:20:49.58
You slip that right in
00:20:49.61\00:20:50.95
with the little
handwritten note, right?
00:20:50.98\00:20:53.28
That's right. That's it.
00:20:53.31\00:20:54.68
That's a way
that it can be shared.
00:20:54.72\00:20:57.02
How about this one, oh, Rodney?
00:20:57.05\00:20:59.39
How many people
get telemarketer calls?
00:20:59.42\00:21:01.82
Have you ever...
00:21:01.86\00:21:03.19
I mean, the list is
endless of the people
00:21:03.22\00:21:05.66
that want to call
you and talk to you.
00:21:05.69\00:21:07.63
And if you could just
divert the conversation
00:21:07.66\00:21:09.66
and say, thank you
so much for calling me.
00:21:09.70\00:21:11.70
I don't necessarily
wanna buy your product,
00:21:11.73\00:21:13.30
but I have something for you.
00:21:13.34\00:21:14.67
There you go.
00:21:14.70\00:21:16.04
And turn it around on them
it's just this little idea...
00:21:16.07\00:21:17.57
That's exactly right.
00:21:17.61\00:21:18.94
You know, most of the time,
00:21:18.97\00:21:20.68
I'm not very
interested in talking to them
00:21:20.71\00:21:22.11
because I don't have a
lot of time to do that.
00:21:22.14\00:21:24.45
But if I get my
mindset right, I think I could.
00:21:24.48\00:21:27.22
Just say, turn that
conversation around.
00:21:27.25\00:21:29.42
Say, you know,
I'm not interested in
00:21:29.45\00:21:32.42
an extended warranty for my car,
00:21:32.45\00:21:34.72
but I do have something better
00:21:34.76\00:21:36.09
than an extended
warranty for you.
00:21:36.12\00:21:37.46
I have something you
can get eternal life.
00:21:37.49\00:21:39.53
Do you know what, Steve?
00:21:39.56\00:21:40.90
I've actually
gotten into that habit
00:21:40.93\00:21:43.57
when I'm talking to someone
00:21:43.60\00:21:45.53
either a business
transaction or something else.
00:21:45.57\00:21:48.37
I've gotten into the
habit of encouraging them
00:21:48.40\00:21:51.07
to go to one of many websites,
00:21:51.11\00:21:53.27
Amazing Facts is
one, 3ABN, you know,
00:21:53.31\00:21:56.48
whatever it could be that
00:21:56.51\00:21:57.85
you want to use as
your witnessing tool.
00:21:57.88\00:22:01.22
I am always amazed at
the responses of the people.
00:22:01.25\00:22:04.92
It's like, they totally change.
00:22:04.95\00:22:06.65
Many of them say,
thank you so much.
00:22:06.69\00:22:09.16
I say, you know,
after your break is over,
00:22:09.19\00:22:11.03
here's a website.
00:22:11.06\00:22:12.39
I want you to check out.
I'm sure you're gonna like it.
00:22:12.43\00:22:15.13
And 90 plus
percent of the people,
00:22:15.16\00:22:18.10
they honestly
sound like they enjoy it.
00:22:18.13\00:22:20.97
They said, can
you repeat that again?
00:22:21.00\00:22:22.50
I'm gonna write that down.
00:22:22.54\00:22:23.97
So I think
people are open. Amen.
00:22:24.01\00:22:25.97
A lot more open
than we can think.
00:22:26.01\00:22:28.61
Absolutely.
00:22:28.64\00:22:29.98
So I have one
more question. Okay.
00:22:30.01\00:22:31.35
This one comes from
Anne in Boise, Idaho.
00:22:31.38\00:22:33.08
Okay.
00:22:33.11\00:22:34.45
And Anne says,
"How do we witness
00:22:34.48\00:22:36.22
through this program to others?
00:22:36.25\00:22:38.49
Do you refer someone
00:22:38.52\00:22:39.99
or do we have to
find someone in our own?"
00:22:40.02\00:22:41.99
All right.
00:22:42.02\00:22:43.36
The whole idea of the 3AM Call
00:22:43.39\00:22:45.73
is to use your
circle of influence.
00:22:45.76\00:22:49.83
God has given us family members,
00:22:49.86\00:22:53.13
coworkers, neighbors,
00:22:53.17\00:22:55.50
and even our big
Facebook audience, right?
00:22:55.54\00:22:59.27
People that we
don't necessarily know,
00:22:59.31\00:23:01.34
but they're our "friends."
00:23:01.38\00:23:02.98
Right?
00:23:03.01\00:23:04.35
So as part of the course,
00:23:04.38\00:23:06.58
for an example,
I'm jumping ahead.
00:23:06.61\00:23:08.68
Maybe we'll come
back to the later,
00:23:08.72\00:23:10.05
but in the three
cosmic messages course,
00:23:10.09\00:23:13.69
one of the assignments
00:23:13.72\00:23:15.06
is to watch the
video of Mark Finley
00:23:15.09\00:23:18.29
preaching these messages.
00:23:18.33\00:23:19.66
Right.
00:23:19.69\00:23:21.03
And the assignment
00:23:21.06\00:23:22.40
then is to share it
with 10 other people.
00:23:22.43\00:23:24.03
Right.
00:23:24.07\00:23:25.40
You mean like share it as
in, just push the share button.
00:23:25.43\00:23:27.67
Just push the share button.
Yeah, it's pretty simple.
00:23:27.70\00:23:29.84
That's it. Right on YouTube.
00:23:29.87\00:23:31.31
Seconds.
00:23:31.34\00:23:32.67
On YouTube,
there's the share button.
00:23:32.71\00:23:34.24
And then YouTube
opens this big window.
00:23:34.28\00:23:36.18
Do you wanna
share it on Instagram,
00:23:36.21\00:23:38.88
on Facebook, on Twitter,
00:23:38.91\00:23:40.88
on all of these
different platforms
00:23:40.92\00:23:42.55
or share it in the email, right?
00:23:42.58\00:23:44.82
So there's a lot
of different ways
00:23:44.85\00:23:46.45
that you can
share these messages
00:23:46.49\00:23:48.12
without doing it yourself,
but we're getting to that
00:23:48.16\00:23:51.29
because we want
everyone to actually share it.
00:23:51.33\00:23:53.96
That's right. We
want everyone to sign up.
00:23:54.00\00:23:56.23
We want everyone to register.
00:23:56.26\00:23:57.87
And that actually
provides me an opportunity.
00:23:57.90\00:23:59.63
We spoke briefly last hour
00:23:59.67\00:24:01.94
about this goal
number that you got.
00:24:01.97\00:24:03.84
Remember, we started
out at 5,000, 10,000.
00:24:03.87\00:24:06.41
Well, we were too
low, even at 50,000.
00:24:06.44\00:24:08.91
Let's talk
about the goal number,
00:24:08.94\00:24:10.81
the first goal
number that you have
00:24:10.85\00:24:12.81
and how you want
people to sign up
00:24:12.85\00:24:14.95
and refer
others to this as well?
00:24:14.98\00:24:17.69
Our dream is that
00:24:17.72\00:24:20.32
before the General
Conference session,
00:24:20.36\00:24:23.59
which is now been moved to 2022.
00:24:23.63\00:24:25.83
Okay.
00:24:25.86\00:24:27.20
We would like to have
00:24:27.23\00:24:28.56
1 million Seventh-day Adventists
00:24:28.60\00:24:31.53
and pre-Adventists.
00:24:31.57\00:24:34.34
Those who are not yet
00:24:34.37\00:24:36.20
part of our church
are welcome to join.
00:24:36.24\00:24:39.01
Join this and share the three
angels' message, 1 million.
00:24:39.04\00:24:42.08
One million?
00:24:42.11\00:24:43.45
And we believe that
00:24:43.48\00:24:44.81
if that there's a
something called synergy.
00:24:44.85\00:24:47.58
Synergy is where
those working together
00:24:47.62\00:24:50.52
can accomplish far more than
00:24:50.55\00:24:52.65
if we were
working independently.
00:24:52.69\00:24:54.56
Right. So we have a challenge.
00:24:54.59\00:24:56.39
I wanna give a challenge
to our viewing audience.
00:24:56.42\00:24:58.99
We actually would like for you
to do an evangelistic campaign,
00:24:59.03\00:25:04.93
however, it may be on April 4,
00:25:04.97\00:25:09.10
that might be in
your local church.
00:25:09.14\00:25:11.77
I know that's very soon.
00:25:11.81\00:25:13.17
That's only a week from Sunday.
00:25:13.21\00:25:15.38
It could be
digitally, virtually.
00:25:15.41\00:25:19.31
And we'll talk more about
00:25:19.35\00:25:20.68
how you can do that,
but we want everyone to be
00:25:20.72\00:25:23.28
intentionally sharing
00:25:23.32\00:25:24.82
the three angels'
messages on April 4.
00:25:24.85\00:25:28.86
Amen. April 4,
now that sounds soon.
00:25:28.89\00:25:32.16
But it's possible,
especially in the day and time
00:25:32.19\00:25:34.06
that we have with
all the technology
00:25:34.10\00:25:36.33
and opportunities that we have,
00:25:36.36\00:25:37.70
you know, you're
talking about doing it.
00:25:37.73\00:25:39.07
You know, even
if you can't do it
00:25:39.10\00:25:40.44
in person or,
00:25:40.47\00:25:41.80
you know,
before a live audience,
00:25:41.84\00:25:43.24
you could do it
digitally, right?
00:25:43.27\00:25:44.71
Whether it be through Zoom.
00:25:44.74\00:25:46.07
And I know I did an
evangelistic series recently,
00:25:46.11\00:25:48.64
actually through Zoom
00:25:48.68\00:25:50.18
and YouTube at
the exact same time.
00:25:50.21\00:25:51.81
I was covering two audiences.
00:25:51.85\00:25:53.45
Well, you've already
got what I was gonna say.
00:25:53.48\00:25:55.48
Right.
00:25:55.52\00:25:56.85
Then let's talk
about a little bit more,
00:25:56.89\00:25:59.05
how someone
could actually do this.
00:25:59.09\00:26:01.16
Okay. Right?
00:26:01.19\00:26:03.06
This device right
here is a powerful tool.
00:26:03.09\00:26:05.96
Yes, it is.
00:26:05.99\00:26:07.33
And simply using this
tool and a Zoom account
00:26:07.36\00:26:11.07
and connected that
to YouTube or Facebook.
00:26:11.10\00:26:15.00
Those are free platforms.
00:26:15.04\00:26:16.97
You just do that and
you can do the series.
00:26:17.01\00:26:19.91
Amen. It is fully scripted.
00:26:19.94\00:26:22.31
It's not like
we're asking people
00:26:22.34\00:26:23.95
to sit down like you did Steve,
00:26:23.98\00:26:26.88
and wrote an
entire evangelistic series
00:26:26.92\00:26:29.78
on the flight so to speak.
00:26:29.82\00:26:32.39
This is fully scripted.
00:26:32.42\00:26:34.09
The graphics are incredible
for our different programs
00:26:34.12\00:26:38.13
that we have.
00:26:38.16\00:26:39.49
So everything is there.
00:26:39.53\00:26:41.26
The tools are
there in the tool box.
00:26:41.30\00:26:43.67
We're simply asking people
00:26:43.70\00:26:45.47
to open the toolbox
and to use the tools.
00:26:45.50\00:26:48.24
Absolutely.
00:26:48.27\00:26:49.60
So you were
referencing, you know,
00:26:49.64\00:26:50.97
I guess you were talking about
00:26:51.01\00:26:52.34
the New Beginnings series there.
00:26:52.37\00:26:53.71
I was.
00:26:53.74\00:26:55.08
Let's talk about
that for a moment.
00:26:55.11\00:26:56.44
New beginnings,
because you were telling me
00:26:56.48\00:26:57.81
a little bit of story
of how that came about.
00:26:57.85\00:26:59.18
I've used the New
Beginnings, they're fantastic.
00:26:59.21\00:27:00.92
And you guys have
a new updated version
00:27:00.95\00:27:02.68
of these a 4.0 that
people have access to.
00:27:02.72\00:27:06.35
So, Ryan, back in the
day before New Beginnings
00:27:06.39\00:27:12.16
I was attending
an ASI Convention
00:27:12.19\00:27:14.96
and someone challenged me
00:27:15.00\00:27:16.97
and I'm not a
preacher by training.
00:27:17.00\00:27:19.70
I'm a layperson.
00:27:19.73\00:27:21.17
And they said, "You should
do an evangelistic series."
00:27:21.20\00:27:25.11
And I was like, no about that.
00:27:25.14\00:27:27.71
But, you know, and they said,
00:27:27.74\00:27:29.08
"Yeah, now,
everybody needs to do this."
00:27:29.11\00:27:31.25
And I saw other people who
weren't preachers doing it.
00:27:31.28\00:27:33.75
And I said, "Well, maybe I do."
00:27:33.78\00:27:35.25
So we went home
and prayed about it.
00:27:35.28\00:27:37.49
And we took a group of
students to the Ukraine.
00:27:37.52\00:27:39.95
And our goal was
to do several series
00:27:39.99\00:27:42.66
of evangelistic
series concurrently.
00:27:42.69\00:27:45.26
And I didn't have
a prepared series.
00:27:45.29\00:27:48.33
Right.
00:27:48.36\00:27:49.70
So I would preach at
night and then I would go home
00:27:49.73\00:27:52.73
and I would study most
of the rest of the night
00:27:52.77\00:27:54.90
and would get up in the morning,
00:27:54.94\00:27:56.27
study the rest of the day.
00:27:56.30\00:27:57.64
And by that night,
have another sermon ready.
00:27:57.67\00:28:00.01
And I presented at that night.
00:28:00.04\00:28:01.48
And so it was like this marathon
00:28:01.51\00:28:04.15
to get ready for each one.
00:28:04.18\00:28:06.01
Right.
00:28:06.05\00:28:07.38
And I've talked to other people
who had that same experience
00:28:07.42\00:28:10.25
and out of those
kinds of experiences
00:28:10.29\00:28:13.15
the tool was born to say,
00:28:13.19\00:28:15.02
what if we have some
really powerful graphic images
00:28:15.06\00:28:17.93
and some very well
thought out scripts,
00:28:17.96\00:28:20.80
well-studied scripts
that were just biblical
00:28:20.83\00:28:24.60
and truth would
just ooze out of them
00:28:24.63\00:28:27.70
as you presented them.
00:28:27.74\00:28:29.70
What if we had that all arranged
00:28:29.74\00:28:31.27
so that you didn't
have to do all of that?
00:28:31.31\00:28:34.48
You could just mostly focus
on the presentation itself.
00:28:34.51\00:28:36.48
That's right.
00:28:36.51\00:28:37.85
And so, that's where
New Beginnings was born
00:28:37.88\00:28:40.75
and developed in
about 2000 or so.
00:28:40.78\00:28:43.99
It was launched in
its initial stages.
00:28:44.02\00:28:47.66
And since that time,
00:28:47.69\00:28:49.52
hundreds of
thousands of laypeople
00:28:49.56\00:28:51.49
around the world
have been trained.
00:28:51.53\00:28:53.09
This message has gone viral
00:28:53.13\00:28:56.23
you might say in
that kind of way.
00:28:56.26\00:28:59.30
And just
recently we did an update.
00:28:59.33\00:29:01.40
Rodney was kind
of in charge of that
00:29:01.44\00:29:05.24
and updated the
graphics and the scripts
00:29:05.27\00:29:08.68
to the most
modern representation
00:29:08.71\00:29:11.01
we can 4k
graphics and the scripts
00:29:11.05\00:29:13.68
that are really
focused on the love of God
00:29:13.72\00:29:15.82
and how that,
00:29:15.85\00:29:17.32
that is the
essence of the gospel.
00:29:17.35\00:29:18.69
Absolutely.
00:29:18.72\00:29:20.06
And so, it's a
new updated version
00:29:20.09\00:29:22.09
of New Beginnings.
00:29:22.12\00:29:23.46
They're on our 3AM Call website,
00:29:23.49\00:29:25.03
and anybody can go there
and get them and use them.
00:29:25.06\00:29:26.80
Yeah, I think they had a
graphic a few moments ago.
00:29:26.83\00:29:28.76
If you could pull
that back up there,
00:29:28.80\00:29:30.73
that graphic of
the New Beginnings,
00:29:30.77\00:29:32.83
powerful, this
series is beautiful.
00:29:32.87\00:29:35.97
It's user-friendly,
anybody can do it.
00:29:36.00\00:29:37.64
You don't, you know,
00:29:37.67\00:29:39.01
if someone's sitting
at home right now saying,
00:29:39.04\00:29:40.48
I don't know how
I could ever preach
00:29:40.51\00:29:42.24
an evangelistic
series on my own.
00:29:42.28\00:29:44.18
This is, this is it.
00:29:44.21\00:29:45.55
This is the way you can do it
00:29:45.58\00:29:46.92
because the tools
have been provided for you.
00:29:46.95\00:29:48.95
When did you preach your series?
00:29:48.98\00:29:50.62
I'm curious on New Beginning.
00:29:50.65\00:29:52.15
I think I used
New Beginnings back,
00:29:52.19\00:29:54.82
I think it was
probably 2012, 2013,
00:29:54.86\00:29:56.79
somewhere around there.
00:29:56.83\00:29:58.16
I had just received
00:29:58.19\00:29:59.53
one of your
older versions of it.
00:29:59.56\00:30:00.90
And I incorporated it
into my own evangelistic series
00:30:00.93\00:30:03.83
when I was out on the road,
preaching as an evangelist.
00:30:03.87\00:30:06.63
So you will love these graphics.
00:30:06.67\00:30:09.94
You haven't seen
them yet, I don't think.
00:30:09.97\00:30:11.31
All right, I don't
think the new ones.
00:30:11.34\00:30:13.07
But we have a lot of artwork
00:30:13.11\00:30:15.38
that the
Justinian creative group
00:30:15.41\00:30:17.55
has done
specifically for this series.
00:30:17.58\00:30:20.62
It's not been seen before.
00:30:20.65\00:30:22.48
And so these
graphics are amazing.
00:30:22.52\00:30:25.35
They are available in 4k
HD and standard definition,
00:30:25.39\00:30:30.03
depending on what
a person's need is.
00:30:30.06\00:30:32.83
What I really like
about this series is that
00:30:32.86\00:30:35.76
the notes are embedded
in the presentation itself.
00:30:35.80\00:30:39.87
So you don't need
even a script book.
00:30:39.90\00:30:42.24
All you need is a laptop
in front of you or a tablet,
00:30:42.27\00:30:45.01
which can be very inexpensive.
00:30:45.04\00:30:47.38
That's all that there
is to it. That's awesome.
00:30:47.41\00:30:50.11
And some people have
actually just taken the script.
00:30:50.15\00:30:54.15
They haven't been
very eloquent at all.
00:30:54.18\00:30:56.69
And they've just
literally read the script,
00:30:56.72\00:30:59.92
and they're reading.
00:30:59.95\00:31:01.39
Can you imagine
hearing a sermon,
00:31:01.42\00:31:03.93
just being read with
not a lot of emotion, Right.
00:31:03.96\00:31:07.60
But the Holy
Spirit took the truth...
00:31:07.63\00:31:08.96
That's right.
00:31:09.00\00:31:10.33
And people have come
forward because the call,
00:31:10.37\00:31:13.20
the appeal is in the script.
00:31:13.23\00:31:15.37
You just read it. That's right.
00:31:15.40\00:31:17.07
The Holy Spirit does the
work and people come forward.
00:31:17.11\00:31:19.64
In fact, I have a story powerful
00:31:19.67\00:31:22.08
back in my home
church in Northeast Arkansas,
00:31:22.11\00:31:24.31
where I grew up and
00:31:24.35\00:31:25.68
where I eventually
joined the Adventist Church.
00:31:25.71\00:31:28.02
At the time, there was a...
00:31:28.05\00:31:29.38
I think she might've been
10 or 11 years old, young girl,
00:31:29.42\00:31:32.42
her father and her mother,
00:31:32.45\00:31:33.79
they had went over
for a missionary trip
00:31:33.82\00:31:35.49
and they were all
doing evangelistic series.
00:31:35.52\00:31:37.26
And this 10-year old girl
00:31:37.29\00:31:39.53
did an entire
evangelistic series
00:31:39.56\00:31:42.53
to probably, I think it
was up in the upper hundreds
00:31:42.56\00:31:45.70
or lower thousands.
00:31:45.73\00:31:47.07
Ten-year-old girl did a
series for all of these people
00:31:47.10\00:31:49.87
and they were using
the New Beginnings series.
00:31:49.90\00:31:51.81
So it's very user-friendly.
Anyone can use it.
00:31:51.84\00:31:55.01
And so if you're
sitting at home right now
00:31:55.04\00:31:56.38
saying, you know what?
00:31:56.41\00:31:57.75
I just don't know if I,
if I could ever muster up
00:31:57.78\00:31:59.28
the courage or
the mentality or the,
00:31:59.31\00:32:01.22
of the information on
my own, or the fortitude
00:32:01.25\00:32:05.42
or whatever it is
you got to muster up
00:32:05.45\00:32:06.79
to try to get through this.
00:32:06.82\00:32:08.16
You can do it because God
has provided the tools for you
00:32:08.19\00:32:11.06
through the ministry of ASI.
00:32:11.09\00:32:12.43
So this is powerful.
00:32:12.46\00:32:13.80
Thank you guys so much
00:32:13.83\00:32:15.16
for all that you
do for evangelism,
00:32:15.20\00:32:16.53
but we're not through yet
00:32:16.56\00:32:17.90
because you also have a
health evangelism as well.
00:32:17.93\00:32:21.30
Let's talk about
that? Let's definitely do.
00:32:21.34\00:32:23.57
Because in that earlier quote,
00:32:23.61\00:32:26.17
you referenced
Ministry of Healing, 143.
00:32:26.21\00:32:29.71
Now minute when you read that,
00:32:29.74\00:32:31.28
I was thinking of a
very profound truth.
00:32:31.31\00:32:34.75
In Matthew 4:23-25,
00:32:34.78\00:32:38.42
we see that
Jesus did three things
00:32:38.45\00:32:40.49
in His ministry,
preaching, teaching and healing.
00:32:40.52\00:32:45.13
Which one did He do most?
00:32:45.16\00:32:46.93
Healing. He did healing most.
00:32:46.96\00:32:49.10
That's exactly right.
Should we not do the same?
00:32:49.13\00:32:52.43
And the question comes to
us. Well, I'm not a doctor.
00:32:52.47\00:32:57.27
I'm not a nurse. I'm
not a physical therapist.
00:32:57.31\00:33:00.51
Can I do anything?
00:33:00.54\00:33:01.98
We have a quote that
we want to read right now
00:33:02.01\00:33:04.35
from Testimonies for the Church,
00:33:04.38\00:33:06.38
volume 7, page 62.
00:33:06.41\00:33:09.55
"We have come to a time
00:33:09.58\00:33:11.15
when every member of
the church should do" what?
00:33:11.19\00:33:14.69
Take hold.
00:33:14.72\00:33:16.06
"Take hold of
medical missionary work."
00:33:16.09\00:33:19.46
And then it gives the reason.
00:33:19.49\00:33:20.93
"The world is a lazar house."
00:33:20.96\00:33:23.70
Talking about Lazarus' sickness.
00:33:23.73\00:33:25.07
Sure.
00:33:25.10\00:33:26.43
It goes on to explain,
00:33:26.47\00:33:27.80
"Filled with
victims of both physical
00:33:27.84\00:33:29.44
and spiritual disease."
00:33:29.47\00:33:31.47
Now is that next
part not true today?
00:33:31.51\00:33:33.41
Amen.
00:33:33.44\00:33:34.78
"Everywhere people are perishing
00:33:34.81\00:33:36.95
for a lack of the
knowledge of the truths
00:33:36.98\00:33:39.31
that have been committed to us."
00:33:39.35\00:33:40.68
Wow.
00:33:40.72\00:33:42.05
So anyone who's
watching this program,
00:33:42.08\00:33:44.25
if they're not a
health professional,
00:33:44.29\00:33:47.59
it's okay.
00:33:47.62\00:33:48.96
We have tools that
have been developed
00:33:48.99\00:33:51.69
by health
professionals that you can use.
00:33:51.73\00:33:54.50
Like if you take
our course right now,
00:33:54.53\00:33:57.07
we have some great videos
00:33:57.10\00:33:59.10
that cover NEWSTART,
the acronym, NEWSTART.
00:33:59.13\00:34:01.77
All you have to
do is watch the video
00:34:01.80\00:34:04.54
and then share it
with someone else.
00:34:04.57\00:34:06.41
Wow. Text message.
00:34:06.44\00:34:07.78
Hey, I just watched
this short little video.
00:34:07.81\00:34:09.94
We have all the links
for you is ready to go.
00:34:09.98\00:34:13.21
Does it get any
easier than that?
00:34:13.25\00:34:14.58
It's powerful.
00:34:14.62\00:34:15.95
I mean, and for those
who are health professionals,
00:34:15.98\00:34:17.49
we have things for you as well.
00:34:17.52\00:34:19.32
We have great
tools for everyone.
00:34:19.35\00:34:21.32
It's powerful.
00:34:21.36\00:34:22.69
Now, Rodney, some
of these just want
00:34:22.72\00:34:25.16
to kind of launch
from what you've said,
00:34:25.19\00:34:26.53
because it's coming to my mind
00:34:26.56\00:34:28.16
that they can go
deeper into these topics.
00:34:28.20\00:34:32.10
So just like the
one from the partnership
00:34:32.13\00:34:34.90
we have with LIGHT,
00:34:34.94\00:34:36.34
which is the Lay Institute
for Global Health Training.
00:34:36.37\00:34:40.11
This course that you have up
00:34:40.14\00:34:42.08
on the 3AM Call website
is the introductory course.
00:34:42.11\00:34:45.78
It's just the very basic.
00:34:45.81\00:34:47.65
It's kind of
scratching the surface
00:34:47.68\00:34:49.25
of what's available.
00:34:49.28\00:34:50.62
That's right.
00:34:50.65\00:34:51.99
The LIGHT website has the rest
of the story you might say...
00:34:52.02\00:34:54.86
Yes.
00:34:54.89\00:34:56.22
More material
available at a deeper level,
00:34:56.26\00:34:58.59
for those who wanna go deeper.
00:34:58.63\00:34:59.96
Yeah. That's exactly right.
00:35:00.00\00:35:01.33
That's exactly right.
It's a stepping stone.
00:35:01.36\00:35:03.43
Right. Right?
00:35:03.47\00:35:04.80
So it's the introduction.
00:35:04.83\00:35:06.17
And I have the
privilege of serving with LIGHT
00:35:06.20\00:35:09.47
as one of the
division directors.
00:35:09.50\00:35:11.67
And we focus on
health evangelism training.
00:35:11.71\00:35:14.11
So I'm very passionate
about health evangelism
00:35:14.14\00:35:17.01
because I've seen it
work like nothing else
00:35:17.05\00:35:19.61
can to break down prejudice.
00:35:19.65\00:35:21.22
And to be honest, a
lot of people in the world
00:35:21.25\00:35:26.25
have some kind of
prejudice against the gospel.
00:35:26.29\00:35:29.06
In the United States,
00:35:29.09\00:35:30.73
it's a prejudice because
it's, what do we call it?
00:35:30.76\00:35:34.33
Gospel hardened,
right? We've heard that term.
00:35:34.36\00:35:37.03
People heard it
over and over again.
00:35:37.07\00:35:39.00
In other parts of the
world, it's not gospel harden.
00:35:39.03\00:35:42.30
It is secular hardened.
00:35:42.34\00:35:44.94
People just have
no interest, right?
00:35:44.97\00:35:46.64
Sure. They're done.
00:35:46.68\00:35:48.04
They don't wanna hear.
00:35:48.08\00:35:49.41
And other places it's
religious intolerance.
00:35:49.44\00:35:53.18
There's not
room for Christianity
00:35:53.21\00:35:55.02
in this rigid environment,
00:35:55.05\00:35:57.29
but health is something
00:35:57.32\00:35:59.12
that can cross
all of those barriers.
00:35:59.15\00:36:01.89
And we've done health programs
literally all over the world
00:36:01.92\00:36:05.13
and seen that you can
reach Muslims, Hindus, Buddhists
00:36:05.16\00:36:10.10
with the health message.
00:36:10.13\00:36:11.47
It's the entering wedge.
00:36:11.50\00:36:12.93
I love it. I love it.
00:36:12.97\00:36:14.47
That's awesome.
00:36:14.50\00:36:16.57
We have couple more
questions that have come in.
00:36:16.60\00:36:18.24
I wanna bring those up now.
00:36:18.27\00:36:19.87
So this person
sends in the question,
00:36:19.91\00:36:21.58
this is actually a
really good question.
00:36:21.61\00:36:23.45
"Are female evangelists
encouraged or do they exist?"
00:36:23.48\00:36:27.45
So with what's going
on now, can a female,
00:36:27.48\00:36:29.75
someone that wants
to do an evangelism,
00:36:29.78\00:36:31.59
a female evangelists do
what it is we're talking about?
00:36:31.62\00:36:33.96
I think I just heard,
Ryan, that you talked about this
00:36:33.99\00:36:36.52
10-year old girl
who did evangelism.
00:36:36.56\00:36:40.00
I remembered that story
when this question came...
00:36:40.03\00:36:41.63
That's right.
00:36:41.66\00:36:43.00
And yes, you know
there's a concept in the Bible
00:36:43.03\00:36:48.50
and this is the
concept that I have,
00:36:48.54\00:36:50.74
that everyone is called
00:36:50.77\00:36:52.41
to help share the
good news of Jesus.
00:36:52.44\00:36:55.14
Amen.
00:36:55.18\00:36:56.51
And it doesn't depend on
00:36:56.54\00:36:58.38
what ethnic
background you come from.
00:36:58.41\00:37:01.98
It doesn't depend on
the color of your skin.
00:37:02.02\00:37:05.99
It doesn't depend on your age.
00:37:06.02\00:37:08.52
It doesn't depend on
so many of these factors
00:37:08.56\00:37:10.76
that often are used as
almost excluding people
00:37:10.79\00:37:15.23
from getting involved
in sharing the gospel.
00:37:15.26\00:37:19.43
God has a policy that
00:37:19.47\00:37:21.77
He calls everyone to help
00:37:21.80\00:37:24.51
share His good news in
different ways, it's true.
00:37:24.54\00:37:27.58
And so someone may be
00:37:27.61\00:37:29.08
a physician like
Rodney has alluded to.
00:37:29.11\00:37:31.95
Their expertise may be
in helping to heal people
00:37:31.98\00:37:36.18
so that their mind is
more open to hear the gospel.
00:37:36.22\00:37:38.59
Amen.
00:37:38.62\00:37:39.95
Some people are
better at public presentation
00:37:39.99\00:37:43.09
and they may make a
better public presentation
00:37:43.12\00:37:45.56
than someone else.
00:37:45.59\00:37:46.93
Some people are better
at individually ministering
00:37:46.96\00:37:49.16
and praying with
someone on an individual basis.
00:37:49.20\00:37:51.03
That's right.
00:37:51.07\00:37:52.40
So all are needed is
the way I'm going to say it.
00:37:52.43\00:37:56.47
That's right. Amen.
00:37:56.50\00:37:57.84
All are needed. All are desired.
00:37:57.87\00:38:00.44
Rodney, are there any
filters on this website
00:38:00.48\00:38:02.58
that would prevent
someone from signing up?
00:38:02.61\00:38:05.45
We don't have
anything that says,
00:38:05.48\00:38:08.12
you know, what is your
gender, and exclude female?
00:38:08.15\00:38:11.12
Or what is your age?
00:38:11.15\00:38:12.49
Or what is it, older or younger?
00:38:12.52\00:38:13.86
That's exactly right.
00:38:13.89\00:38:15.22
Or what is your skin color?
00:38:15.26\00:38:16.59
Nothing like
that? Nothing like that.
00:38:16.62\00:38:17.96
Okay. So it's open.
00:38:17.99\00:38:19.33
It's open.
00:38:19.36\00:38:20.70
We need a name,
an email address,
00:38:20.73\00:38:22.96
and a local church.
00:38:23.00\00:38:24.40
And that's pretty much it.
00:38:24.43\00:38:25.87
And if you don't belong
00:38:25.90\00:38:27.24
to a local
Seventh-day Adventist Church,
00:38:27.27\00:38:28.60
you can put none yet.
00:38:28.64\00:38:29.97
That's Rodney's words, none yet.
00:38:30.01\00:38:32.71
And you can get
involved in sharing,
00:38:32.74\00:38:34.34
helping to share this
message with the world.
00:38:34.38\00:38:35.74
I love that.
00:38:35.78\00:38:37.11
In fact, let's take the time
00:38:37.15\00:38:38.48
now to pull
that website back up.
00:38:38.51\00:38:39.85
I just wanna do that.
00:38:39.88\00:38:41.22
We're going to pull it up again
before we sign off for tonight,
00:38:41.25\00:38:43.72
but there it is
asiministries.org,
00:38:43.75\00:38:47.36
but we also want to pull
up the website for the 3AM...
00:38:47.39\00:38:49.72
The
3amcall.org. The 3amcall.org.
00:38:49.76\00:38:55.16
3AM Call, three
angels' messages call,
00:38:55.20\00:38:58.63
and go on there and sign up
for this evangelism initiative.
00:38:58.67\00:39:02.70
They've provided all the tools.
00:39:02.74\00:39:04.74
All you have to do
is just be willing.
00:39:04.77\00:39:06.98
And in fact, this is
actually another question
00:39:07.01\00:39:09.61
that just came in.
00:39:09.64\00:39:10.98
Interestingly enough,
this is coming from Marie,
00:39:11.01\00:39:13.28
from Kingston, Jamaica.
00:39:13.31\00:39:15.25
Hello, Marie.
00:39:15.28\00:39:16.62
She says, "Hi,
Ryan and co, Maranatha.
00:39:16.65\00:39:19.25
She says, "Is there any way that
00:39:19.29\00:39:21.19
an individual can
receive the material
00:39:21.22\00:39:23.66
without internet connection?"
00:39:23.69\00:39:26.96
That is a good question.
00:39:27.00\00:39:29.66
And in our world today,
it's so internet driven.
00:39:29.70\00:39:33.50
So at this time
00:39:33.54\00:39:36.17
that is our vehicle
of giving the material.
00:39:36.20\00:39:39.84
So hopefully Marie,
you're able to find someone
00:39:39.87\00:39:43.14
who has an internet connection,
00:39:43.18\00:39:44.78
so you can
download the material.
00:39:44.81\00:39:46.15
Amen.
00:39:46.18\00:39:47.52
So a lot of places
there are internet cafes
00:39:47.55\00:39:49.88
where you can go
and you can just plug in
00:39:49.92\00:39:51.65
and maybe for a small
fee, download the material,
00:39:51.69\00:39:54.56
put it on your
laptop, or on a jump drive
00:39:54.59\00:39:58.09
or something so that you
can get it and that's all.
00:39:58.13\00:40:00.40
We do have a lot of people
00:40:00.43\00:40:01.76
actually who send me emails
on a regular basis and say,
00:40:01.80\00:40:05.47
you know, my network
was kind of spotty today,
00:40:05.50\00:40:07.70
and I wasn't able
to watch this or that.
00:40:07.74\00:40:10.51
And so we totally
understand, but again,
00:40:10.54\00:40:14.08
technology is
all around the world
00:40:14.11\00:40:16.58
and internet is growing in speed
00:40:16.61\00:40:19.38
and availability.
00:40:19.41\00:40:20.75
So that's the technology
that we're leveraging.
00:40:20.78\00:40:23.45
Praise the Lord. Yeah.
00:40:23.49\00:40:24.82
I mean, we certainly
do live in a day and age
00:40:24.85\00:40:26.32
where it seems like everyone,
maybe not literally everyone,
00:40:26.35\00:40:30.09
but it seems like
more and more people.
00:40:30.13\00:40:31.46
It's a growing
number. It's growing.
00:40:31.49\00:40:32.86
We live in an
internet connected world.
00:40:32.89\00:40:34.66
It is.
00:40:34.70\00:40:36.03
And, you know, it
doesn't take someone
00:40:36.06\00:40:38.33
the greatest speaker,
the greatest preacher,
00:40:38.37\00:40:39.97
the greatest teacher.
00:40:40.00\00:40:41.84
But you know, if you
can just click a button,
00:40:41.87\00:40:43.97
a share button and
share the good news
00:40:44.01\00:40:46.47
of materials that
have already been provided
00:40:46.51\00:40:48.94
for you to share,
00:40:48.98\00:40:50.31
you are doing your part
in sharing the good news
00:40:50.35\00:40:52.78
with the world,
with everyone around you.
00:40:52.81\00:40:54.72
I can think, you know,
00:40:54.75\00:40:56.08
I have two
different Facebook accounts,
00:40:56.12\00:40:58.45
also have a YouTube account.
00:40:58.49\00:40:59.95
And probably on between
the two Facebook accounts,
00:40:59.99\00:41:02.19
I have about 7,000 people
that I can reach with this.
00:41:02.22\00:41:05.03
And so I've signed up
00:41:05.06\00:41:06.90
and I'm gonna be
sharing as much as I can.
00:41:06.93\00:41:08.76
And I wanna
encourage you to do the same.
00:41:08.80\00:41:10.97
Let's talk really quickly
about the three cosmic messages.
00:41:11.00\00:41:14.70
This is involving
Pastor Mark Finley, right?
00:41:14.74\00:41:16.07
I should be
asking you about those
00:41:16.10\00:41:18.41
because they were
filmed right here at 3ABN,
00:41:18.44\00:41:22.21
but I am really
excited about this.
00:41:22.24\00:41:24.81
You know I've been
watching Pastor Finley
00:41:24.85\00:41:28.18
share the
gospel for decades now.
00:41:28.22\00:41:31.42
And his ministry
00:41:31.45\00:41:33.22
has literally
touched millions of lives.
00:41:33.25\00:41:37.03
There have been
so many meetings.
00:41:37.06\00:41:39.19
And when I heard the
miracle of the production
00:41:39.23\00:41:42.93
of the three cosmic
messages, I was thrilled.
00:41:42.96\00:41:45.97
There it is.
00:41:46.00\00:41:47.60
Powerful series.
That was a year ago.
00:41:47.64\00:41:49.64
Was it not like this week
or last week or something?
00:41:49.67\00:41:53.48
Just a year ago,
they were filmed here,
00:41:53.51\00:41:56.34
but I'm so excited that
00:41:56.38\00:41:58.58
not only can we
share these videos
00:41:58.61\00:42:01.52
with Elder Finley preaching,
they are now available for us.
00:42:01.55\00:42:05.65
That's right.
They are available.
00:42:05.69\00:42:07.39
The PowerPoints fully scripted.
00:42:07.42\00:42:10.23
I worked together
with our good friends
00:42:10.26\00:42:12.53
at heart research,
Dan Houghton and his team.
00:42:12.56\00:42:16.67
We have the scripts,
we have the PowerPoints
00:42:16.70\00:42:19.63
they're already so that
we can share them ourselves.
00:42:19.67\00:42:23.24
Amen.
00:42:23.27\00:42:24.61
And I think that that's
where the real power is.
00:42:24.64\00:42:27.41
Step number one is
to share the video.
00:42:27.44\00:42:29.68
You watch Mark Finley preach.
00:42:29.71\00:42:31.71
You share that video.
00:42:31.75\00:42:33.18
Step number two is you preach.
00:42:33.21\00:42:36.58
You might not be
the most eloquent.
00:42:36.62\00:42:38.49
You might not, you
know, be the most fluid...
00:42:38.52\00:42:43.69
But it may be that
you are the person,
00:42:43.73\00:42:47.20
and you may be the only person
00:42:47.23\00:42:49.66
that another person would trust.
00:42:49.70\00:42:51.43
Is gonna connect
to. That's right.
00:42:51.47\00:42:52.80
Exactly.
00:42:52.83\00:42:54.17
So you don't have
to be Mark Finley.
00:42:54.20\00:42:55.54
That's right. That's right.
00:42:55.57\00:42:56.91
That is exactly right.
00:42:56.94\00:42:58.27
That's powerful. So
that's what we wanna do.
00:42:58.31\00:42:59.64
You see, our idea is that
everyone can start somewhere,
00:42:59.67\00:43:03.85
but we all can
grow a little bit more.
00:43:03.88\00:43:05.88
Absolutely. That's...
00:43:05.91\00:43:07.58
It's a progression, you know...
00:43:07.62\00:43:09.92
Absolutely God is wanting us
00:43:09.95\00:43:11.45
all to just come
up a little higher.
00:43:11.49\00:43:12.82
Absolutely.
00:43:12.85\00:43:14.19
And so that's
what 3AM Call does,
00:43:14.22\00:43:17.36
it taps into what
your specific talents
00:43:17.39\00:43:20.00
and abilities
are wherever you are
00:43:20.03\00:43:21.83
in your walk with
God, wherever you are
00:43:21.86\00:43:23.67
in your
particular desire to share,
00:43:23.70\00:43:26.33
there's multiple
varieties of options
00:43:26.37\00:43:29.10
that people can have access to,
00:43:29.14\00:43:31.14
to share in their own way,
00:43:31.17\00:43:32.64
through this one
online Mecca of resources
00:43:32.67\00:43:36.58
that ASI has
produced called 3AM Call.
00:43:36.61\00:43:39.31
Did I say that right?
00:43:39.35\00:43:40.68
Did I just
describe that accurately?
00:43:40.72\00:43:42.05
Yeah, that was very good.
00:43:42.08\00:43:43.62
We need to get him
on for our commercial.
00:43:43.65\00:43:45.05
I was gonna to
say. Happy about that.
00:43:45.09\00:43:46.76
We're gonna have
to make some spots
00:43:46.79\00:43:48.36
after we're done here.
00:43:48.39\00:43:49.72
You can make
some spots for 3ABN.
00:43:49.76\00:43:53.26
Yeah.
00:43:53.29\00:43:54.63
You know, I'm just
excited about evangelism.
00:43:54.66\00:43:56.50
Evangelism's where my
heart has always been.
00:43:56.53\00:43:58.67
There's nothing like
sharing the good news
00:43:58.70\00:44:02.44
with someone and seeing
00:44:02.47\00:44:04.51
their whole world light up
00:44:04.54\00:44:06.37
because they've never heard
it before or they never heard it
00:44:06.41\00:44:08.74
in the way that
you're sharing it,
00:44:08.78\00:44:10.11
because perhaps,
00:44:10.15\00:44:11.48
maybe they've
never been prepared.
00:44:11.51\00:44:13.31
Their heart has never been
prepared for any other time
00:44:13.35\00:44:15.78
than that time that
you're sharing with them
00:44:15.82\00:44:17.35
at that moment.
00:44:17.39\00:44:18.72
And that's a thing, my friends,
I just wanna encourage you.
00:44:18.75\00:44:20.72
You may be sitting at
home right now saying,
00:44:20.76\00:44:22.09
"Oh, I've tried the
whole sharing thing.
00:44:22.12\00:44:23.63
And none of my
friends and family members
00:44:23.66\00:44:25.16
or any of my acquaintances
00:44:25.19\00:44:26.70
or anyone that I've ever shared
00:44:26.73\00:44:28.06
with nobody's ever
responded positively.
00:44:28.10\00:44:30.07
So obviously I don't have
the ability or the talent or,
00:44:30.10\00:44:33.74
you know, what
God, the ability that
00:44:33.77\00:44:35.10
God has given me to share.
00:44:35.14\00:44:36.47
I'm just, that's
just not my thing."
00:44:36.50\00:44:37.91
But you never,
never know people...
00:44:37.94\00:44:40.88
Things happen in people's lives,
00:44:40.91\00:44:42.24
especially with
what has happened
00:44:42.28\00:44:43.88
in recent time with COVID,
00:44:43.91\00:44:45.35
the times that we're living in,
00:44:45.38\00:44:46.85
people are more
open to spiritual things.
00:44:46.88\00:44:48.95
They have questions.
00:44:48.98\00:44:50.32
They're asking
questions and saying, you know,
00:44:50.35\00:44:52.25
I had somebody that
asked me a few weeks ago,
00:44:52.29\00:44:54.12
you know, is the
mark of the beast.
00:44:54.16\00:44:55.76
It's this is
this whole COVID thing
00:44:55.79\00:44:57.26
setting up for
the mark of the beast?
00:44:57.29\00:44:58.73
You know what
that question told me?
00:44:58.76\00:45:00.33
That what is
happening around them
00:45:00.36\00:45:01.70
is sparked an
interest in spiritual things,
00:45:01.73\00:45:04.73
perhaps questions that
they weren't asking before.
00:45:04.77\00:45:07.07
Now they're
asking, wait a second.
00:45:07.10\00:45:08.90
Is the world coming to an end?
00:45:08.94\00:45:10.51
Because no other generation
00:45:10.54\00:45:12.17
before us has seen a
global pandemic in the way
00:45:12.21\00:45:15.51
that it has unfolded so quickly
00:45:15.54\00:45:17.75
as what we have
witnessed in the past year.
00:45:17.78\00:45:19.11
Right.
00:45:19.15\00:45:20.48
And so, there's
people out there right now.
00:45:20.52\00:45:21.98
And I just wanna encourage
those watching at home.
00:45:22.02\00:45:24.12
You know, it doesn't matter
00:45:24.15\00:45:25.49
what kind of talent you
have or what kind of ability
00:45:25.52\00:45:27.82
or how well spoken you are.
00:45:27.86\00:45:30.03
You are a vessel of
God, God wants to use you.
00:45:30.06\00:45:33.70
He wants to reach you.
00:45:33.73\00:45:35.26
And He wants to use
you for His kingdom.
00:45:35.30\00:45:38.37
And ASI Ministries has
done a phenomenal thing
00:45:38.40\00:45:41.74
in creating the
ultimate possibility
00:45:41.77\00:45:44.51
for you to be able
to share that 3AM Call.
00:45:44.54\00:45:48.78
And let's pull that
back up there again,
00:45:48.81\00:45:50.38
the website, the 3amcall.org.
00:45:50.41\00:45:55.42
And that's what we're
talking about tonight.
00:45:55.45\00:45:56.82
We want you to go
sign up right now.
00:45:56.85\00:45:58.49
It's simple.
00:45:58.52\00:45:59.85
I did it myself, 30 minutes
00:45:59.89\00:46:01.49
before this
program started tonight,
00:46:01.52\00:46:03.22
before I showed up.
00:46:03.26\00:46:04.59
And it literally took
me less than 60 seconds.
00:46:04.63\00:46:06.70
Two clicks fill out
00:46:06.73\00:46:08.76
just a couple of
bars of information
00:46:08.80\00:46:10.53
and you're right in there
00:46:10.57\00:46:11.90
and have access to
so much information
00:46:11.93\00:46:14.77
and tools to help you
00:46:14.80\00:46:16.24
share the
Gospel of Jesus Christ.
00:46:16.27\00:46:18.34
And so, I'm excited about this.
00:46:18.37\00:46:20.18
In fact, I had a friend
the other day, guys, powerful.
00:46:20.21\00:46:24.25
Friend never met him before,
00:46:24.28\00:46:26.11
but he called me up,
left a voicemail on my phone.
00:46:26.15\00:46:27.95
His name was Ed.
Ed is a truck driver.
00:46:27.98\00:46:30.35
And Ed told me, he
said, you know what?
00:46:30.39\00:46:31.72
I just love sharing.
I love to evangelize.
00:46:31.75\00:46:33.49
I love to share literature.
00:46:33.52\00:46:35.52
And one of the
things he shared with me,
00:46:35.56\00:46:36.99
he says, you know what?
00:46:37.03\00:46:38.36
I just don't have the tools
00:46:38.39\00:46:40.10
or the ability to
create these wonderful slides,
00:46:40.13\00:46:42.83
these evangelism
slides and you know,
00:46:42.86\00:46:45.03
you recently, I
had recently done
00:46:45.07\00:46:46.60
a series on the United
States in Bible prophecies.
00:46:46.63\00:46:49.04
Do you mind if
I use your slides?
00:46:49.07\00:46:50.51
Or do you mind if
I take your messages
00:46:50.54\00:46:51.87
and preach them in Spanish?
00:46:51.91\00:46:53.31
Because he speaks Spanish
00:46:53.34\00:46:54.68
and I wanna preach
this message in Spanish,
00:46:54.71\00:46:56.31
to my Spanish friends.
00:46:56.34\00:46:57.68
And there's people
out there just like Ed,
00:46:57.71\00:47:00.02
that would want love to
have access to your tools.
00:47:00.05\00:47:02.98
And that's what we want
to encourage you to do now
00:47:03.02\00:47:05.95
is go sign up the 3amcall.org,
00:47:05.99\00:47:11.19
go signup so you
can have access to this
00:47:11.23\00:47:13.33
and play your part
in sharing the gospel
00:47:13.36\00:47:16.36
with the world.
00:47:16.40\00:47:18.53
There's I mean,
there's several other things
00:47:18.57\00:47:19.90
on this list here that
00:47:19.93\00:47:21.27
I know we can talk
about in these eight minutes,
00:47:21.30\00:47:22.67
but I want to open it up
to what our speakers says.
00:47:22.70\00:47:24.04
I wanna go back to
one thing that you said.
00:47:24.07\00:47:25.97
Sure.
00:47:26.01\00:47:27.34
And I think it's powerful
for people to understand.
00:47:27.38\00:47:30.35
There is nothing like
00:47:30.38\00:47:32.21
sharing the
gospel with someone else.
00:47:32.25\00:47:34.45
There's no other
experience in your life
00:47:34.48\00:47:36.52
that's going to
compare with that.
00:47:36.55\00:47:38.32
I've done a lot
of things in my life.
00:47:38.35\00:47:39.69
I've traveled
and I have preached,
00:47:39.72\00:47:42.69
and I have instructed people
00:47:42.72\00:47:45.06
and I've taught you
know, but the thing,
00:47:45.09\00:47:48.56
when you see someone respond,
00:47:48.60\00:47:51.20
when you've been just
had a small part to play
00:47:51.23\00:47:54.57
and then
learning about the gospel,
00:47:54.60\00:47:56.97
and when they take that step
00:47:57.01\00:47:58.34
of committing
their life to Christ,
00:47:58.37\00:48:00.88
there is something
about that that just,
00:48:00.91\00:48:03.21
it brings joy.
00:48:03.24\00:48:05.11
Now we're told it
brings joy to God,
00:48:05.15\00:48:08.08
but it also brings joy to us
00:48:08.12\00:48:10.15
as human beings
to see that happen.
00:48:10.19\00:48:13.22
So we've been in a pandemic.
00:48:13.25\00:48:15.59
People have been
locked in their homes,
00:48:15.62\00:48:16.99
isolated many times.
00:48:17.03\00:48:19.46
You need some joy in your life,
00:48:19.49\00:48:21.30
start sharing
Jesus with someone.
00:48:21.33\00:48:23.73
And when you see
them engage with Christ
00:48:23.77\00:48:27.64
and take a step
of commitment to Him,
00:48:27.67\00:48:30.37
there's gonna be a
spark of joy in your life.
00:48:30.41\00:48:32.57
Not just a
spark, there's gonna be
00:48:32.61\00:48:34.08
some fire in your bones
00:48:34.11\00:48:35.44
to keep doing that
again and again and again.
00:48:35.48\00:48:38.78
That's right. Amen.
00:48:38.81\00:48:40.15
Praise the Lord.
00:48:40.18\00:48:41.52
You know, as we were talking
between the hours tonight,
00:48:41.55\00:48:45.02
you had asked me a
little bit about myself.
00:48:45.05\00:48:46.49
And I told that my wife
00:48:46.52\00:48:47.86
was the principal at
our Thompsonville School
00:48:47.89\00:48:50.16
here across the road from 3ABN.
00:48:50.19\00:48:52.23
But I understand, Brother Steve,
00:48:52.26\00:48:53.60
you are also
involved in a school as well.
00:48:53.63\00:48:57.00
And in the evangelistic
effort there in the school,
00:48:57.03\00:49:00.34
could you tell us
a little about that?
00:49:00.37\00:49:01.70
Well, yeah, we...
00:49:01.74\00:49:03.41
My day job is I run a
school in Savannah, Tennessee
00:49:03.44\00:49:06.17
called Harbert Hills Academy.
00:49:06.21\00:49:07.54
Okay.
00:49:07.58\00:49:08.91
And we have young
people that come from
00:49:08.94\00:49:10.28
all over the world
to come to the school.
00:49:10.31\00:49:11.65
And we have, you know,
00:49:11.68\00:49:13.01
our vision is to follow
God's plan of education,
00:49:13.05\00:49:14.62
which includes teaching them
00:49:14.65\00:49:16.15
about the three
angels' messages...
00:49:16.18\00:49:17.62
Oh, yes. And how to share that.
00:49:17.65\00:49:19.75
And because we have an
international population,
00:49:19.79\00:49:22.06
we have about
eight different language
00:49:22.09\00:49:23.49
groups on our campus.
00:49:23.53\00:49:24.86
And so, one of the
things we're doing right now,
00:49:24.89\00:49:27.30
we're teaching them
the three angels' messages.
00:49:27.33\00:49:29.60
And then we're
asking them to prepare those
00:49:29.63\00:49:31.47
and present them
in their own language.
00:49:31.50\00:49:33.80
And we'll be posting
them to the social media sites
00:49:33.84\00:49:36.27
in their own countries
so that they can present,
00:49:36.30\00:49:39.57
not just learn it, but
learn how to present it.
00:49:39.61\00:49:42.51
And so we are
launching this effort to present
00:49:42.54\00:49:46.08
the three angels' messages
in eight different languages
00:49:46.11\00:49:48.75
from our little campus
and just nowhere in Tennessee.
00:49:48.78\00:49:51.79
And God's got to do something
with that using young people.
00:49:51.82\00:49:55.02
And I don't know
what He's going to do...
00:49:55.06\00:49:56.49
Amen.
00:49:56.52\00:49:57.86
But in the kingdom someday,
I know that there's gonna be
00:49:57.89\00:50:00.86
some souls
they're gonna say I'm here
00:50:00.90\00:50:03.03
because of these young people
00:50:03.06\00:50:05.00
sharing the good news in
my language in a way that
00:50:05.03\00:50:09.17
I could understand it.
00:50:09.20\00:50:10.54
Amen.
00:50:10.57\00:50:11.91
Steve, where did you
get training material
00:50:11.94\00:50:14.28
for the kids specifically?
00:50:14.31\00:50:16.24
Well, I got it from a
website called 3amcall.org.
00:50:16.28\00:50:22.18
I love that.
00:50:22.22\00:50:23.55
I also wanted to mention though,
00:50:23.59\00:50:25.02
that there is a
curriculum specifically
00:50:25.05\00:50:28.16
for grades 9 through 12,
00:50:28.19\00:50:30.83
that they can do
a capstone project.
00:50:30.86\00:50:33.53
And it's actually...
00:50:33.56\00:50:34.90
That's the one we got
00:50:34.93\00:50:36.26
and it was from
adventsource.org.
00:50:36.30\00:50:38.83
That's exactly right.
00:50:38.87\00:50:40.20
So they can go to Advent
Source or they can email us
00:50:40.24\00:50:42.54
and we can help
them find that curriculum
00:50:42.57\00:50:44.34
if they wanna teach it to their,
00:50:44.37\00:50:45.84
maybe there's some teachers
watching tonight and say,
00:50:45.87\00:50:47.48
I'd like to do
that for my class.
00:50:47.51\00:50:49.64
Fine, we can give
you the curriculum.
00:50:49.68\00:50:51.81
It's available
through Advent Source
00:50:51.85\00:50:53.45
and you can get the curriculum.
00:50:53.48\00:50:54.82
There's a teacher's
guide. There's the curriculum.
00:50:54.85\00:50:56.82
I think it's
like a two-week course
00:50:56.85\00:50:58.39
or something to go through it.
00:50:58.42\00:51:00.06
And it's just fantastic material
00:51:00.09\00:51:01.66
to train young
people how to do this.
00:51:01.69\00:51:03.53
Amen. Praise the Lord.
00:51:03.56\00:51:04.89
I'm looking literally,
00:51:04.93\00:51:06.26
as we were
preparing for this tonight,
00:51:06.29\00:51:07.63
I made some bullet
points of all the amazing things
00:51:07.66\00:51:10.13
you guys are involved in
00:51:10.17\00:51:11.70
and helping people to evangelize
00:51:11.73\00:51:13.44
and to share the gospel.
00:51:13.47\00:51:14.80
One of the ones
here, talk to us about
00:51:14.84\00:51:16.87
the reach the world next door?
00:51:16.91\00:51:18.34
Let's put up the
picture just to see, you know,
00:51:18.37\00:51:22.08
reach the world next door
00:51:22.11\00:51:23.45
is a beautiful
idea of how we can reach
00:51:23.48\00:51:25.95
immigrants and refugees.
00:51:25.98\00:51:28.38
If you look at the picture,
00:51:28.42\00:51:29.98
just look at the
diversity that's there.
00:51:30.02\00:51:32.62
And those of us in the
United States of America
00:51:32.65\00:51:36.96
have an absolutely
00:51:36.99\00:51:38.96
incredible
opportunity to witness.
00:51:38.99\00:51:42.03
It's
unprecedented to see, you know,
00:51:42.06\00:51:44.83
that is used in many crazy ways,
00:51:44.87\00:51:47.80
but this is God's way.
00:51:47.84\00:51:51.21
What has happened over
the last several decades
00:51:51.24\00:51:54.21
is we have had
people immigrate here
00:51:54.24\00:51:56.91
to the United
States or find asylum
00:51:56.95\00:52:00.62
from persecution and
whatever to countries
00:52:00.65\00:52:03.45
that you and I could never visit
00:52:03.49\00:52:05.32
as missionaries.
00:52:05.35\00:52:06.69
It would be impossible for you
00:52:06.72\00:52:08.49
to get a visa to go
through that country.
00:52:08.52\00:52:10.89
They're here in our towns,
00:52:10.93\00:52:13.13
in our cities
waiting to be reached.
00:52:13.16\00:52:15.70
And so ASAP ministries,
Pastor Scott Griswold
00:52:15.73\00:52:20.70
has put together this
beautiful introductory course
00:52:20.74\00:52:24.61
for our ASI 3AM Call audience,
00:52:24.64\00:52:28.98
so that we can learn
how to identify those,
00:52:29.01\00:52:33.78
those populations.
00:52:33.82\00:52:35.15
Because you know,
00:52:35.18\00:52:36.52
sometimes what happens is
this statistics are so sad.
00:52:36.55\00:52:40.36
People can come
to America to study
00:52:40.39\00:52:44.03
and never meet a Christian.
00:52:44.06\00:52:46.06
Wow. That's right.
00:52:46.09\00:52:47.43
How can that
happen? That's amazing.
00:52:47.46\00:52:48.96
How can that happen?
00:52:49.00\00:52:50.83
People have come on
business trips and you know,
00:52:50.87\00:52:54.64
they've come and they've gone
00:52:54.67\00:52:56.00
and they've never
been introduced to Christ.
00:52:56.04\00:52:58.51
People have been here for years.
00:52:58.54\00:53:00.64
You know, I remember
as part of the course,
00:53:00.68\00:53:03.51
you'll hear it when
you take that course.
00:53:03.55\00:53:05.51
But some of the
world's most influential people
00:53:05.55\00:53:09.95
have come to our universities
00:53:09.98\00:53:11.89
and spent multiple years
00:53:11.92\00:53:15.19
and never once been
invited to a Christian's home
00:53:15.22\00:53:18.16
to have a meal together.
00:53:18.19\00:53:19.53
That's right.
00:53:19.56\00:53:20.90
We've got to be intentional
on how to reach those people.
00:53:20.93\00:53:23.30
And that course
does that very thing,
00:53:23.33\00:53:25.40
short little videos,
practical tools to help us
00:53:25.43\00:53:29.04
identify those
people, win their confidence,
00:53:29.07\00:53:31.87
become their friends
and then use New Beginnings,
00:53:31.91\00:53:35.51
three cosmic messages to share
with them what really matters.
00:53:35.54\00:53:39.31
Amen. Amen.
00:53:39.35\00:53:40.68
This is...
00:53:40.72\00:53:42.05
This has been a
powerful two hours together
00:53:42.08\00:53:43.79
just to open our
hearts up and share about
00:53:43.82\00:53:46.76
the wonderful
possibilities of evangelism.
00:53:46.79\00:53:50.63
I can say with
certainty that none of us,
00:53:50.66\00:53:53.70
including myself, none of us
00:53:53.73\00:53:55.70
have an excuse not to share
the good news of Jesus Christ.
00:53:55.73\00:54:00.60
And I say that
respectfully in the utmost.
00:54:00.64\00:54:03.07
We are living in a day
and time where we must,
00:54:03.10\00:54:06.17
we must be
involved in this effort.
00:54:06.21\00:54:10.08
We must, whether it's someone
that lives next door to us,
00:54:10.11\00:54:13.08
someone we work with,
someone that we're kin to.
00:54:13.11\00:54:16.58
We need to be
sharing the good news
00:54:16.62\00:54:18.22
as much as possible.
00:54:18.25\00:54:20.12
And we have about two
and a half minutes left
00:54:20.16\00:54:22.39
before we sign off for tonight.
00:54:22.42\00:54:24.03
I wanna open it up to you guys.
00:54:24.06\00:54:25.93
Take a minute or so, just
to share with our audience
00:54:25.96\00:54:29.83
what's on your heart in closing,
00:54:29.86\00:54:31.40
maybe make a final
appeal as we prepare to close.
00:54:31.43\00:54:34.57
So I'll start here,
Ryan, by just saying this,
00:54:34.60\00:54:39.21
I believe that we
live in a very special time
00:54:39.24\00:54:42.54
in earth's
history and I believe that
00:54:42.58\00:54:44.88
God is calling every
single viewer tonight
00:54:44.91\00:54:48.12
and everyone who
will see this program
00:54:48.15\00:54:50.92
to get engaged in helping
00:54:50.95\00:54:52.52
to spread the
gospel to the world.
00:54:52.55\00:54:54.76
They may not be a
Mark Finley. That's right.
00:54:54.79\00:54:57.79
They may not
understand everything
00:54:57.83\00:55:00.80
that a theologian understands,
00:55:00.83\00:55:03.43
but God has called
us to share what we know
00:55:03.47\00:55:08.40
with those that we know.
00:55:08.44\00:55:09.77
Amen.
00:55:09.80\00:55:11.14
And if we simply start
there with simple tools,
00:55:11.17\00:55:14.94
God will do the blessing.
00:55:14.98\00:55:16.88
God will send the
Holy Spirit ahead of us.
00:55:16.91\00:55:19.01
God will do the work
that we cannot do anyway.
00:55:19.05\00:55:21.88
That's right.
00:55:21.92\00:55:23.25
Our job is to be available
to what he wants to do.
00:55:23.28\00:55:26.79
So listener tonight,
00:55:26.82\00:55:28.19
if you're thinking about
00:55:28.22\00:55:29.72
what you should do,
00:55:29.76\00:55:31.26
I'm going to
challenge you to get involved
00:55:31.29\00:55:33.50
with what you have
00:55:33.53\00:55:34.86
and where you
are and who you know,
00:55:34.90\00:55:36.77
and begin to use
00:55:36.80\00:55:38.13
some of these simple
tools to share the gospel.
00:55:38.17\00:55:41.20
Amen. Brother
Rodney, real quick.
00:55:41.24\00:55:42.97
Yes, I see the time
is just going so quickly,
00:55:43.00\00:55:45.41
but you know,
there were four courses
00:55:45.44\00:55:47.38
that we didn't
even get to talk about.
00:55:47.41\00:55:48.74
Well, I know the four courses.
00:55:48.78\00:55:50.11
So I'm gonna encourage us
to just put up those slides
00:55:50.15\00:55:52.71
if we can real
quick, because in this time
00:55:52.75\00:55:56.12
we've had to go
digital with so many things.
00:55:56.15\00:55:58.49
So there are four courses
00:55:58.52\00:56:00.56
from the center
for online evangelism.
00:56:00.59\00:56:02.92
Here it is online
small group ministry,
00:56:02.96\00:56:05.59
how to do blogging for ministry.
00:56:05.63\00:56:08.16
The other ones are
podcasting and YouTube.
00:56:08.20\00:56:11.93
I wish we had more times
to talk about all of those.
00:56:11.97\00:56:13.30
I know, right.
00:56:13.34\00:56:15.00
But my appeal is the
same as Steve's, get involved.
00:56:15.04\00:56:19.41
And I want to give a challenge.
00:56:19.44\00:56:21.01
I hope that
you've taken your phone,
00:56:21.04\00:56:22.64
your device, whatever it is
00:56:22.68\00:56:24.35
and that you have
signed up tonight.
00:56:24.38\00:56:26.15
If you have, thank you so
much, but here's my challenge.
00:56:26.18\00:56:30.02
Before the end of this Sabbath,
00:56:30.05\00:56:34.26
I want to encourage you
to sign up 10 other people.
00:56:34.29\00:56:37.99
Tell them the blessing that
00:56:38.03\00:56:39.36
you've received and
sign up 10 other people.
00:56:39.39\00:56:41.76
Amen. Praise the Lord.
00:56:41.80\00:56:43.26
Hey, the 3amcall.org.
00:56:43.30\00:56:46.84
Go sign up, my friends,
00:56:46.87\00:56:48.47
become a part of this initiative
00:56:48.50\00:56:50.37
to reach the
world with the gospel.
00:56:50.41\00:56:51.84
We wanna thank you so
much for joining us tonight.
00:56:51.87\00:56:54.04
And you know what?
00:56:54.08\00:56:55.41
We're gonna continue
doing what we do here at 3ABN
00:56:55.44\00:56:57.65
and taking the gospel
to a lost and dying world.
00:56:57.68\00:57:00.62
We thank you for being a
part of this 3ABN family,
00:57:00.65\00:57:03.28
and we will see
you back here soon.
00:57:03.32\00:57:05.12
God bless.
00:57:05.15\00:57:06.49
