00:11 Hello and welcome back to 3ABN Behind the Scenes.
00:13 We're so glad that you stayed with us, 00:15 the first hour went by in a real hurry. 00:17 And again, we're just praising the Lord 00:18 for what He has done and what He's continuing to do. 00:21 We've been talking about camp meetings 00:24 and update in Cuba, 00:25 and the second hour was going to be filled 00:27 of course, with more updates, 00:29 but the end of the first hour, 00:30 we're talking about 3ABN prison ministry 00:33 and just how that has grown, 00:34 and thank you for your incredible, incredible support 00:38 for this aspect of the ministry of 3ABN, 00:40 because we're talking about Bibles. 00:41 Those are not free. 00:42 They cost us a little bit of money, 00:44 about $10, $12 a Bible, 00:46 and their letters that have been read 00:48 how much those that are incarcerated 00:50 appreciate that wonderful gift. 00:52 I'm thinking about also all the other literature 00:54 that we send out as well, Bible lessons, other magazines, 00:58 and other booklets... 00:59 And the hard drives. 01:01 And the hard drive aspect too. 01:02 That's incredible 01:03 where we're going to be sending these to prisons. 01:05 Jason Bradley, of course, the manager for Dare to Dream 01:08 has been working very hard on getting this. 01:10 Tell us a little bit about that. 01:12 Dr. Yvonne? 01:13 As Jill had mentioned earlier, 01:15 there are several prisons 01:16 that don't have internet. 01:20 So you can't have internet access. 01:22 These hard drives, which is so exciting. 01:25 These hard drives have already on them. 01:29 Like I think it's like two years of programming, 01:33 so won't have to be refreshed. 01:34 And thousands of programs. 01:36 Thousands and thousands of programs 01:38 that won't have to be refreshed for two years 01:41 without internet and it can run there. 01:44 And just, and so it is such an amazing opportunity 01:48 to get the gospel into the prisons. 01:51 There's such hopelessness there, such despair there. 01:54 And to know that we can bring the gospel 01:57 because with COVID you can't even go in 01:58 like you could before. 02:00 So now we need another way 02:02 and the Lord has given us another way to get in. 02:05 And these, um, these boxes, 02:07 these hard drives, interlaced system. 02:09 They're just amazing. So, praise God. 02:11 Amen. 02:12 Thank you, JD, too, for your leadership 02:14 with the pastoral department, 02:15 but also for prison ministry as well, 02:17 because it's making an impact in the world. 02:20 Go ahead, and then I'm going to go to Mr. Danny. 02:22 Well, the ladies they... 02:24 all their workers. 02:25 They are so worth, they're so dedicated. 02:27 You know, the whole team is dedicated. 02:29 Thank you, Jesus. Yes. 02:30 Praise the Lord, Mr. Danny, 02:32 we're talking about an incredible opportunity 02:34 that has presented itself to us, 02:36 the ministry of 3ABN, 02:37 but also to you at home, 02:39 I want you to share this incredibly good news 02:41 that just took place. 02:42 Good, I was doing a little math in my head 02:44 as JD was talking, you know, 02:46 when you're talking about a thousand Bibles a month 02:49 and you look in $10 or $12 a piece, 02:51 then you're talking about 02:52 whether it's Steps to Christ, 02:53 whether it's all of the other books 02:55 that would be sending out 02:57 Glimpses of His Glory, no matter what. 02:59 And you start thinking about all of this and how much money, 03:02 is like, that is a tremendous amount of money. 03:04 It is. Well, guess what? 03:06 The Lord is, we talked about earlier, 03:08 when He commissions us to do something, 03:09 He says, 03:11 "All power, all authority 03:12 is given me in heaven and earth." 03:14 So you go forward, 03:15 and I'll supply your every need, right? 03:17 Philippians 4:13, 4:19. 03:20 So we have a donation, Greg, 03:23 of $100,000 towards prison ministry. 03:27 There's a but. Okay. 03:29 What is it? There's a but. 03:31 Everybody ready for the but. 03:33 It's matching funds. 03:35 So that means now I know, I know our viewers, 03:38 they love matching funds 03:40 because who who's a good Adventist, 03:43 good Christian, 03:44 who doesn't like give two for one. 03:46 Oh, yeah. Right. 03:47 You go to town, something's on sale. 03:49 You really like you get two for one. 03:52 Well, in this case, literally a $100,000, right, Greg? 03:56 That's right. 03:57 It's sent to this ministry, but it says for matching funds. 04:00 So what we would like for you to do is pray 04:02 about what you would do to help make sure 04:06 we get this entire $100,000 that we can use it 04:09 to get the matching, which was the request. 04:11 Yes. 04:13 So to me, 04:14 I can see our viewers jumping on board right away. 04:16 You can, you know, go to their website 04:19 and it'll tell you how you can give, 04:20 you can do the snail mail. 04:21 There is you can email us letters, 04:23 you know, all kinds of ways, go to our website. 04:26 You can call us, call tonight, 04:28 okay and say that you'd be willing. 04:30 You want to give or use the credit card, 04:32 however you want to do it. 04:33 But that is an amazing gift. 04:36 It came out of the blue, right, Greg? 04:37 Yeah, it sure did. 04:38 Weren't really expecting it a $100,000 04:42 for prison ministries. 04:43 And we're spending tremendous amounts of money 04:45 every month do grow from start. 04:48 You know, it was nothing just about 04:51 and to grow like this. 04:52 And so God had to come through and sure enough, 04:55 He uses you to do it. 04:57 So to me, this is a great opportunity. 04:58 So hopefully phones are start lighting up 05:01 and you can let people know, hey, I want to be on board. 05:03 We're going to support this. 05:05 And I want to thank 05:06 the where the $000,000 came from. 05:10 We don't give the names, 05:11 but that's an incredible amount of money. 05:13 Not everybody can do it. 05:15 A lot of us maybe would like to, 05:17 but there are some people 05:18 that the Lord puts on their hearts 05:20 and we have no idea. 05:21 This may be a tremendous sacrifice 05:23 for them to do that, 05:24 but yet for this. 05:25 So, JD, thanks for painting this little picture. 05:28 And it helps us get just a small 05:31 because when we're away from it 05:32 at times, we, we don't really think about it, 05:35 turn together how many people are calling every day, 05:39 how many requests for Bibles by the thousands 05:42 and by for the study guides 05:44 and for all the other literature 05:46 and interlaced system to be able to put in. 05:49 Interlaced system, I guess we'll talk about that in a bit. 05:52 I'm sure, but that again, if prisons that can't get us 05:56 say downlink us for whatever reason, 05:58 you can put these in, you don't even have to have the internet. 06:01 And yet it's got thousands of programs. 06:03 It can be piped into every cell. 06:05 If that's what they choose to do it to prison. 06:07 I mean, that's an amazing opportunity 06:10 two years and not say reruns, if you go to ABC, NBC and CBS, 06:15 you will see reruns every night. 06:16 If you go to CNN or you go to Fox News, 06:19 whatever channel you go to after first, 06:22 you see the person they're talking at 5 or 6 o'clock 06:26 and then about 9 or 10, 06:27 they're repeating. 06:28 So I'm understanding there's enough programming here. 06:31 You maybe could go two years. 06:32 So that's telling you, so what an incredible opportunity. 06:36 So we're asking you to literally ask 06:39 the Holy Spirit what he would have you to do. 06:42 Some of you can give more than others, 06:44 but whatever you give, 06:45 whether it's $5 or 5,000 or 50,000, 06:48 it's going to go towards matching funds 06:51 of this $100,000. 06:52 It's amazing. Incredible, Greg. 06:54 Yeah, how God supplies our needs. 06:55 I mean, it's amazing, you're saying it 06:57 did come out of the blue. 06:58 As we say, we weren't expecting it. 07:00 And this gentleman was saying that, 07:01 how 3ABN made an impact in his life years ago. 07:05 And he just felt that he needed to give this money 07:07 for prison ministry. 07:08 And there it is. And so, yeah, just praise God. 07:10 I mean, that's incredible gift for prison ministry. 07:13 What's the code? 436? 07:15 Absolutely. 07:16 So we just want to remind you one more time 07:18 the ways that you can contact us 07:20 and you can partner with us 07:22 in this matching fund gift. 07:24 You can go to our website, that's 3abn.tv 07:26 and you just click on the donate tab 07:28 and you go down to a code, it'll say prison ministries, 07:32 but it's code 436, and you just donate there. 07:35 And that's through PayPal. You can call us right now. 07:38 And the phone lines are open (618) 627-4651. 07:44 And someone at the call center would be delighted to say, 07:46 what would you like to give tonight? 07:49 And that would be through credit card, of course. 07:50 You can always mail us and send a check in the mail 07:54 and say, this is for the matching gift fund, 07:56 the matching for prison ministry. 07:59 Or you can text us right now, your pledge. 08:01 Now you can't donate via text, 08:04 but you can text us your pledge. 08:06 And you can say, I will give $100 or 50 08:09 or whatever your pledge is 08:10 and the texting number for that 08:12 is (618) 228-3975. 08:17 That number again, to text your pledge 08:19 for the matching gift for prison 08:21 is (618) 228-3975. 08:25 What an incredible opportunity to share the gospel 08:28 to those who are behind bars. 08:30 And every penny of this goes for prison ministry. 08:33 Yes. You're right, every penny. 08:34 Yeah. Thank you for that. 08:35 Yes, that's so incredible. 08:37 To piggyback off in closing 08:39 and piggyback off what Danny just said 08:42 is the trickle down to me, 08:44 the trickle-down effect. 08:46 If the Lord impresses me to, 08:48 hey, I've got my marching orders 08:51 and the Holy Spirit gives me my marching orders. 08:54 I do what the Holy Spirit goes, 08:55 because then that's going to be handed 08:57 the baton off to the next person. 09:00 And then he's going to do what he's supposed to do. 09:02 The objective is to get the Bibles into the people, 09:05 into the incarcerator's hands. 09:08 They're anxious. 09:09 I mean, we were just hearing and we got this stack 09:14 of basically the same thing. 09:17 I want to be filled with the words 09:19 so that I can share. 09:22 Now, if God is who you're painting in to be 09:25 of who I believe is that 09:27 miraculous things happen. 09:30 Well, I just want to do my part, 09:33 then let him do his part, him do his part before long 09:36 we have covered the earth. 09:38 Amen.

It's good to see you. 11:20 Good morning from Australia. 11:21 That's the time difference. 11:23 You know, that's the crazy thing 11:24 of this whole time 11:26 thing is that Jill and I have been there. 11:27 And while you're talking about jet lag, 11:29 going in and coming, it's incredible. 11:30 But wow, technology allows us to actually be here with you. 11:34 And it's just great. 11:35 It's phenomenal that we can still sit down 11:37 and find an update and get an update 11:39 how 3ABN Australia is going. 11:42 Do you know when we come over there, 11:44 which we, of course we haven't with COVID, 11:46 but when we do come, 11:47 we're there just long enough 11:49 to start to get over jet lag 11:52 and our bodies to acclimatize to your time zone. 11:56 And then we turn around and come back 11:58 and our bodies are so confused. 12:00 It takes us two or three times 12:02 as long to get over jet lag on this end 12:05 as it does going to your place. 12:07 And so here we are, you know, 12:08 I'm thinking about this is incredible. 12:10 We're sitting on the 3ABN set here 12:11 in Thompsonville/ West Frankfort, Illinois. 12:14 And you're sitting on your beautiful set 12:16 right there in 3ABN. 12:17 Yep. Now it's in Morisset. 12:19 Did I say that right, Australia? 12:22 Yes. 12:23 But 3ABN Australia started way back with Kermit. 12:26 So for those that are watching right now, 12:28 don't know much about 3ABN Australia. 12:30 Tell us about Kermit, 12:31 just give us a real snippet 12:33 and then give us some updates, 12:34 but tell us about Kermit 12:35 and how 3ABN and you started out? 12:39 You know, Greg, when we look back at the time, 12:41 how quickly it's gone, it's nearly 19 years ago 12:44 before we set off with Kermit to go around Australia. 12:47 Well, actually it's 19 years on the 5th of March, 12:50 since we put our first satellite system in, 12:52 in Australia for 3ABN. 12:53 Wow. 12:55 And then we had just decided to travel around 12:57 and promote 3ABN all around Australia. 12:59 And we put satellite dishes in. 13:01 That was an incredible experience 13:04 because we never knew what God had installed for us, 13:09 to be sitting here now, 13:10 those so many years on 13:12 and be involved in actually making programs for 3ABN 13:16 to go around the whole world. 13:17 That's incredible. 13:19 We only set out 13:20 to put a satellite dishes in for people, 13:21 so they could watch 3ABN. 13:23 Amen. 13:24 We never even dreamed we would be in touch with 3ABN, 13:27 let alone working with 3ABN and going to 3ABN. 13:32 By the way, Greg, 13:33 Kermit was a little four wheel drive, 13:35 short wheel base land cruiser. 13:38 And, you know, we have kangaroos in Australia 13:40 and you see them hop, well, 13:41 it was like that traveling in Kermit, 13:43 it was hop, hop, hop all the way along. 13:45 Every bump you felt. 13:48 And there was no sound deadening 13:50 between the engine and the compartment. 13:53 And so to talk to each other, we had to shout. 13:57 You can imagine the World War II jeeps, 13:59 you know, the Second World War jeeps, 14:00 while there was that sort of version of vintage 14:03 of four wheel drive. 14:05 Yeah, just all metal. 14:06 And I just want to say too, that your dedication 14:09 for the work of spreading the gospel around the world 14:11 has made a tremendous... 14:13 It's been inspiring may I say that 14:15 to us here at 3ABN, 14:16 and as we heard your stories coming back 14:19 and then heard, 14:20 or the dedication that you put forward, 14:22 because it's not easy traveling 14:23 like you were saying across Australia. 14:26 I mean, it just touched our hearts 14:28 and to see their hearts beat for others 14:31 and for evangelism, 14:33 it's just an inspiration to us. 14:35 And like you're saying the miracles 14:36 that God has brought to bring 3ABN Australia 14:39 to where it is now, 14:40 it's absolutely incredible. 14:41 You were going to say something. 14:43 I think I interrupted you. 14:44 No, you're fine. I was just, it is amazing. 14:45 We love both of you 14:47 and are so grateful for your dedication 14:48 and sacrifice that you have put 14:50 in to help spread the three angels' messages down under. 14:53 So I know it started with Kermit, 14:55 but walk us forward 14:57 to when the beautiful production facility 14:59 that you have there in Morisset, 15:01 when that opened and was dedicated. 15:03 And then you started producing programming there in Australia. 15:09 Well, that was eight years ago, 15:11 last week or the week before, 15:13 since we opened this building was April 7 15:18 and we missed the anniversary here. 15:22 So we celebrated it a few days later, 15:24 but we had Moses Primo cut the ribbon 15:28 and we had Moses and Adima and Shelley and JD come 15:32 because Jim was supposed to come 15:35 and Danny was supposed to come, 15:37 but different things happened with health and family members 15:40 that they couldn't come at the last moment. 15:42 So JD and Shelley had to hop on a plane 15:45 and make it across. 15:47 And we had a wonderful time at the Avondale Memorial Church 15:52 with a great big, well, service sort of thing 15:55 and opening dedication program there. 15:58 Then we came to the building 15:59 and a whole lot of people came to the building 16:00 and Moses cut the ribbon 16:02 and people just flooded the building 16:04 to have a look at what we were doing. 16:06 It was quite an exciting day. 16:07 Amen. 16:09 So tell us about the building there, 16:10 because you have a studio plus more? 16:14 Two. 16:15 Two studios 16:17 and God, it's really interesting, Greg. 16:18 When we started out, 16:20 we didn't have all the necessary funds 16:22 to do anything. 16:24 And I go back to a text in the Bible 16:25 found in Proverbs 3:5-6. 16:28 It says, 16:29 "Trust in the Lord with all thine heart 16:31 and lean not unto thine own understanding, 16:34 in all thy ways, acknowledge Him, 16:35 and He shall direct our paths." 16:37 So let me tell you in ministry, when you start out, 16:40 it's a very daunting thing. 16:42 And I think of you guys at 3ABN USA 16:44 now going for nearly 40 years. 16:47 Now, when you look at the expense 16:49 of running a studio and a production center, 16:51 it's high. 16:53 And, you know, in our own understanding, 16:54 I thought it is not possible 16:56 because I can remember Danny Shelton. 16:59 When he asked us, he said, 17:00 "John, you guys ready to pay for the satellite?" 17:03 And I kind of, I said no. 17:06 You know, I sweat great drops of blood 17:08 thinking about it 17:09 because it's a lot of money. 17:11 But you know, in all that, 17:12 if we lean on our understanding, 17:14 we will not advance. 17:16 We have to trust in God 17:18 and gratefully for all these years, 17:20 we've been paying for satellite, 17:22 the free to air satellite now. 17:25 And, and now in the last four years, 17:27 we went on to another satellite 17:29 where it reaches a new viewing audience 17:33 alongside all the commercials channels in Australia. 17:35 And we are the only ones on that platform. 17:38 Christian channel. Christian channel. 17:40 Praise God. That's right. 17:41 And so it is amazing. 17:44 Can I give you a couple of stories? 17:45 There was someone who was telling us 17:47 recently about their brother who had left the church 17:51 and he has this VAST system in his home 17:54 where he gets television 17:55 through this government satellite system. 17:57 And 3ABN is on there. 17:59 And now he's back in church as a strong member 18:02 because he started watching 3ABN 18:04 and it brought him back to God. 18:06 And that was just two or three weeks ago 18:09 we heard that story and it was really exciting. 18:13 And we had, no, we have a lot of non Seventh-day Adventists 18:16 watching us on VAST 18:17 because different ones contact us. 18:20 But there was one that came through 18:23 just a few days ago. 18:25 And it was a lady 18:27 who rang Elizabeth, our receptionist 18:29 and was talking to her 18:31 and ordering a copy of Dr. Lindsey's latest DVDs, 18:37 which is on 3ABN. 18:39 She expressed her appreciation 18:41 for the messages on 3ABN Australia. 18:44 And then she said that 18:46 her husband was baptized last year. 18:49 And he's a new convert 18:50 and loves the messages given by Pastor Geoff Youlden, 18:53 Pastor Danny Milenkov, and Dr. Allan Lindsay, 18:57 their messages have impacted him 18:58 and helped lead him to make a decision for baptism. 19:02 Amen. 19:04 And that's just a praise the Lord 19:06 that was just so exciting to just receive this week. 19:09 Amen. 19:10 So I was really, really happy with that. 19:12 Amen. 19:13 So, you know, the ministry is making an impact 19:15 and it's reaching out into homes 19:18 and people are discovering truths 19:19 and they're finding Jesus 19:21 and coming to a knowledge of Him. 19:24 That's incredible through these avenues. 19:26 Amen. 19:27 It's wonderful to be part of something 19:30 that is spreading the gospel around the world 19:33 in such a tangible way 19:35 that is reaching into people's homes 19:37 when nobody else is or can. 19:40 And they're learning the truth of God 19:42 and they're going to be in the kingdom. 19:44 When Jesus comes, 19:46 they're going to rise in the air 19:48 and we will meet every individual 19:50 that we just don't know now. 19:52 So many people, 19:53 we only hear some of the stories very few, 19:56 but for every one we hear there are many others 19:59 that we don't hear all who have come in as well. 20:02 You know, Jill and Greg, during this COVID time, 20:05 I think there's been a lot more people 20:08 who are stuck in home, in their homes 20:10 and looking, and we're hearing, 20:12 they're enjoying the programs at 3ABN. 20:15 And that's a wonderful thought 20:16 because, you know, I believe that 20:18 3ABN is doing a great work 20:21 in proclaiming the three angels' messages 20:23 around the world, 20:24 and people are being blessed. 20:25 There are people who have lots of questions 20:27 and they are finding answers. 20:29 Amen. Amen to that. 20:31 Tell us some of the exciting things 20:32 that are happening there, 20:33 'cause we know that things are happening 20:35 in spite of COVID. 20:36 I mean, things are just going forward. 20:37 We get reports, Jill and I are on the 3ABN 20:40 and, of course, Australia board. 20:41 And it's just exciting what God is doing, 20:43 what He's doing and providing for the needs 20:46 of 3ABN Australia. 20:47 We've been to the building there, 20:49 it's phenomenal. 20:50 You have 3ABN Australia Radio, is there. 20:53 You have a couple of studios, some nice office space. 20:55 You have what we call like a call center 20:57 where they like supplies the DVDs and books 20:59 and other materials go out. 21:01 It's a beautiful facility. 21:02 And God has provided that for you, 21:04 going back to you, driving around little Kermit 21:06 that little Toyota land cruiser or Land Rover, 21:08 whatever it was. 21:10 And you know, what God has done 21:11 into to where you are now into the reach. 21:13 You know, you're going satellite by satellite, 21:15 which is basically home to home or church to church. 21:18 And here you're reaching the entire beautiful country 21:20 of Australia and New Zealand. 21:22 Is that right? Anywhere else? 21:23 And New Zealand. Yep. 21:24 And the islands too. 21:26 Something Papua New Guinea I think. 21:27 Yeah, in the islands in Papua New Guinea. 21:29 But tell us some of the exciting things 21:30 that are going on? 21:32 Well, sometime back when we were, wanna back 21:34 our committee board meetings if you could say. 21:37 We knew that there were people wanting 21:39 to have 3ABN out in the islands, 21:42 particularly, you know, in the Solomon Islands 21:45 and Fiji and all those areas. 21:48 But there is an issue 21:49 because we could have gone on to another satellite, 21:51 another satellite that would have made three, 21:54 but the problem was, out in the islands 21:57 there's a lot of issues like the environment 21:59 is so bad for satellite dishes. 22:02 The other thing is power is not readily available. 22:05 Also it would be a big dish... 22:06 Yes. Not just a small one. 22:08 And so when I went out there to investigate 22:12 what the possibilities. 22:13 I noticed that all the dishes that were put up 22:16 had deteriorated so bad, no one was getting anything. 22:19 So I kind of concluded, it's not the way to go. 22:22 And then Moses Primo 22:25 had this idea of making a little box 22:29 that could be used just with a TV. 22:32 That's all you needed. You didn't need the internet. 22:34 You didn't need a satellite. 22:36 You could receive and watch 3ABN. 22:38 And I've got one here, actually, Greg, 22:40 because this is what's going out in the last two months 22:43 and it's called mySDA TV 22:47 and it's interlaced 22:48 so it doesn't need anything else, 22:50 but just a cable or HDMI cable to connect it to the TV. 22:55 Turn it on, 22:56 and you can watch 3ABN for a number of years, 23:00 depending on the number of hours 23:01 that you can watch each day. 23:03 It's amazing. 23:04 And, not only that, 23:05 but we can also, 23:07 what we're going to do is upgrade it, 23:09 put new programs on it, 23:11 through having an SD card... 23:13 Which slots in the side here. 23:15 So once a year or something, we will have an update. 23:18 If people want more programs, 23:20 they can have the more recent update of programs 23:23 through the SD cards. 23:24 So, is it... So, this is really... 23:27 Go ahead. 23:29 This is really our main incentive right now. 23:31 And you know what, Jill and Greg? 23:33 I'm sorry, I interrupted you, Jill. 23:34 But really what's important is 23:37 we want these to go out in the island 23:38 and you know, that people in the islands 23:40 don't have funds like we do, 23:43 you know, here in the mainland if could say that. 23:46 So we've got people who've donated. 23:48 And we're asking people to even donate for one 23:51 to be sent out into the islands, 23:54 because this is an evangelistic tool. 23:56 It's not just something 23:57 you plug in and watch on your TV, 23:59 it's an evangelistic tool. 24:01 And you can run evangelistic series 24:03 from these boxes 24:05 because in the islands, 24:07 many people gather together unlike us. 24:09 Each evening, they'd come out around a TV 24:11 and they watch, and this is a terrific tool. 24:14 Not only for, you know, 24:17 the list goes on and on 24:18 the churches can use it. 24:20 Think of small churches with no regular pastor, 24:23 especially here in Australia, 24:25 that they're so far away from a pastor. 24:27 They could have this and have Mark Finley preach. 24:29 They could have Kenneth Cox preach. 24:32 They're going to have Allan Lindsay. 24:33 They're going to have Doug Batchelor. 24:35 They can have any number of great speakers 24:38 preach in their church each week. 24:40 So tonight, our viewers can... 24:44 You can get involved and you can sponsor 24:47 a box or two, or maybe 10 boxes. 24:50 Why don't we talk about your website? 24:52 So people can go directly to 3ABN Australia. 24:55 Maybe they could sponsor one of these boxes. 24:57 Of course, you can always contact us 24:59 here at 3ABN in the US 25:00 and we can forward the funds to Australia. 25:03 But what would be the best way if someone wants to sponsor 25:05 one of these evangelistic tools or some of these boxes, 25:08 especially in the island or in the Outback, 25:11 how could they do that? 25:14 The website is 25:16 3abnaustralia.org.au 25:22 And they can go on there. 25:23 There is a donate section, or even a purchase section. 25:26 If people in Australia want to purchase a box 25:30 for their own home use, they can do so 25:32 because small groups can use them. 25:35 You can use them for cooking classes 25:37 with the cooking programs on there. 25:39 One person said to us that she wants to get it 25:41 so she can do her exercises. 25:43 And then she can invite friends to her home 25:46 to do exercises with her. 25:48 And introduce them to 3ABN while she's doing that. 25:51 Absolutely. 25:52 So, because you can play it whenever you want, 25:54 you can choose your programs and just play what you want. 25:58 But imagine for people in any nursing home, 26:02 because you have them in the US through mySDA TV. 26:06 People who are in a nursing home, 26:08 they do not have Christian programming. 26:10 They don't have a Sabbath 26:13 because it's just day after day, 26:14 the same routine in the nursing home. 26:17 With this, they can put it with their television 26:20 and on Sabbath, they can have church. 26:23 They can have Adventist programs 26:26 any day of the week. 26:28 Amen. 26:29 What a beautiful thing for aged people. 26:30 It's an amazing evangelistic opportunity. 26:33 So we want to encourage you tonight 26:35 that you can contact 3ABN Australia. 26:37 You can donate for this. 26:38 You can order these boxes, 26:40 or you can always contact us here as well. 26:43 Talk to us a little bit. 26:44 I know we're almost out of time, 26:46 but talk to us just a little bit about 26:47 some of the new programming 26:49 that's coming out from 3ABN Australia. 26:51 I know some of the programs we air on 3ABN parent, 26:55 I'm thinking of Evolution Impossible, 26:57 which deals with creation evolution. 26:59 And talk to us about some of those new programs? 27:02 Okay. 27:03 Then we are currently working on some new programs for 27:08 A Day with the King, our children's series, 27:10 but there'll be standalone programs. 27:15 They will be 15 minutes long each. 27:18 It'll be a lot less work in post-production, 27:21 but we will have the Bible study segment. 27:24 And we will also have a music segment, 27:26 which we want to do Bible verses 27:28 or scripture songs. 27:30 Amen. 27:31 Because I believe it's a time 27:33 that we need to learn scripture 27:35 and learning it with music is the best way to do it 27:38 because it sticks in your mind when it's put with music. 27:41 So we're going to do a program like that with. 27:43 We're working on it right at the moment. 27:45 We've got new programs 27:46 coming up with Pastor Danny Milenkov. 27:50 We've had postpone recording that, 27:52 but we're going to be doing that this month. 27:56 And then we've got, I don't know, 27:57 there's quite a few in the pipeline 28:00 and I can't even remember what all of them are. 28:02 We just finished playing out Dr. Allan Lindsay, 28:06 you know, he had the program, Keepers of the Flame. 28:09 Oh, yes. 28:10 And he's getting older 28:11 and I really felt a burden to have him 28:14 talk about the prophecies. 28:16 And he's done a series of God's 28:18 last message to the world. 28:21 And it's been very, very well received. 28:23 I don't know the viewers over in America, 28:25 if you haven't seen it, you need to see it 28:27 because really Bible prophecy indicates very clearly 28:31 where we are at this time of earth's history. 28:35 And it's important that you realize 28:37 that our relationship with Jesus 28:39 must be first and foremost, 28:41 because we know the things 28:43 that have been told us 28:44 are happening right before our eyes. 28:46 Amen. 28:47 And so this program has been a real blessing 28:49 to many, many people. 28:51 Amen. 28:52 It's an amazing program. 28:53 That's actually where I was going, 28:55 was to ask you to talk about it. 28:56 So that's perfect. 28:58 It's a great program. And we love Dr. Allan Lindsay. 29:00 Oh, yeah. Go ahead. 29:02 Yeah, we're hoping doing another one with him, 29:03 another series too. 29:05 Yeah. Amen. 29:07 You know, I'm going to just... 29:08 Go ahead. Go ahead, Rosemary. 29:09 No, you go ahead, Greg. 29:11 Well, I was just going to say, 29:12 you know, for those of you that are home, 29:13 you're like, well 3ABN Australia, 29:15 how do I get that? 29:16 So you'll see, like, if you have the 3ABN app, 29:18 you can see 3ABN, 3ABN Praise Him, 29:20 Proclaim, the kids' network. 29:22 You'll see one that says international. 29:23 That's where 3ABN Australia falls under. 29:25 So you'll see a lot of the programming, 29:27 like Jill mentioned and has already been mentioned 29:29 on 3ABN parent, we call it, 29:31 what you're watching right now. 29:32 But then also you can go to 3ABN International 29:35 and that's where you actually watch 29:36 a lot of the 3ABN Australia. 29:37 They're a production which is fantastic. 29:39 They do a great job. 29:41 They don't have a really large team there. 29:42 They do a really good job. 29:43 I want to just touch on this. 29:45 You all are grandparents again to... 29:47 Give us the name. 29:48 I know you're grandparents, of course, to Micah, right? 29:51 He's five, four or five. 29:52 And then tell us about the new baby? 29:54 Yeah. 29:55 And Elijah, he is nine months old. 29:57 Oh, boy. And he's gorgeous. 30:02 He gets called Eliji Paiji. 30:05 And he's beautiful. He's such a happy child. 30:09 He's just a delight. 30:10 And he is the son to... And he's getting his teeth. 30:12 Wow. So he's the son though to... 30:15 Tell us the family relationship there? 30:17 To your son... Shane and Diane. 30:18 And James works, of course, at 3ABN Australia, 30:20 he's an integral part of the ministry there. 30:23 So that's awesome. 30:24 And also Daniel, their son as well. 30:26 Yes, Daniel's there too. 30:27 Nancy's here now. 30:28 She's started with us. Yeah. 30:31 There's another thing I did mention too, Greg, 30:34 and I don't know how much time we have, 30:35 but we've decided to have these insight tracts 30:39 and there's 10 of them. 30:40 Good. 30:41 And we've sent out now 30:43 probably 200,000 of them, at least... 30:46 To the islands. To the islands. 30:48 And we want people to have these in their pockets 30:51 to share what the Bible teaches about 30:54 subjects that we are very dear to 30:57 and while we as people of Seventh-day Adventist 31:00 are dear to in understanding the scriptures. 31:02 What are some of the topics? 31:05 Evolution. 31:06 Five minutes after death. 31:07 Paradise, heaven. 31:09 Experiencing God's presence through prayer. 31:11 Sabbath. 31:12 Why do bad things happen? 31:14 The prophecies of Jesus 31:16 and the second coming et cetera. 31:18 Those are great topics. Praise the Lord. 31:20 Absolutely. 31:22 Very, very good and have been well received too. 31:23 Amen. 31:24 So we've sent these out to the islands. 31:26 We've sent some more just yesterday, 31:27 and the interlaced boxes 31:29 we're sending out to the islands 31:30 as well as we get the opportunity. 31:32 We're packaging up 30 or 70 or whatever, 31:35 and getting them out as soon as we can. 31:38 Well, Jill and I, and the rest of the team here at 3ABN, 31:40 Mr. Danny Shelton, of course, and the others 31:42 just thank you again for your dedication 31:45 and for your heart for the Lord and for other people. 31:48 And that we pray for you all on a daily basis 31:50 and your team there. 31:51 And to keep up the great work there, 31:53 and again, God bless you in what you're doing there. 31:58 Thank you, John and Rosemary Malkiewycz, 32:00 and the entire team there for 3ABN Australia, 32:02 you do an amazing job there. 32:04 And we have the opportunity 32:05 as we mentioned in the roll to be there. 32:07 And it's just, it's just great 32:08 to visit other parts of the world 32:09 and to see what God is doing there. 32:11 And again, thank you for your dedication to the work. 32:14 We've done a little bit of musical chairs, 32:16 so maybe we should introduce who we have here with us now. 32:18 We have, absolutely. 32:19 We have Dr. Moses Primo, 32:21 who's the director of engineering and broadcasting 32:23 here at 3ABN, 32:25 as well as general manager of 3ABN Francais. 32:28 So that's a mouthful all those titles. 32:30 I'm glad to have you here tonight. 32:31 Thank you. 32:33 So good to be here 32:34 and to update everyone 32:35 about what God is doing all around the world, 32:37 especially in Africa. 32:39 Amen.

The toasted version, the post vacation version. 32:53 I got, I went into the sun of the Virgin Islands 32:55 and got toasted. 32:57 So don't adjust your television. 33:01 You were enjoying the warmth of the sunshine. 33:02 Yeah. 33:04 Nothing like salt water, and no hairspray 33:06 really make your life change. 33:08 It's good to be here. 33:09 But thank you both for your heart for God. 33:11 Thank you, Dr. Moses for that 33:12 and for your heart for evangelism. 33:14 You know, that's evident you've been at the ministry of 3ABN 33:17 since almost the very beginning, 33:18 I believe 30-31... 33:19 Almost 30, yeah. 33:21 Years which is a long time. 33:23 Thank you, Pastor John. 33:24 You and your wife have been here now, is it 17? 33:27 Eighteen years. Eighteen years now. 33:28 Yeah, incredible. Yeah. 33:29 But going to... 33:31 When Moses first came, 33:32 I had hair and he had black hair. 33:34 Okay. 33:35 I don't have much hair and he's got grey hair. 33:39 But you all have a wealth of information and experience, 33:41 which is just great for us younger folk 33:43 to be able to tap into that. 33:44 So we're very, very grateful. 33:46 I don't know if you have a comment 33:47 on John and Rosemary Malkiewycz again, 33:49 because they've been with the ministry for 20 years, 33:51 which is incredible, 33:52 and the work that they have done. 33:53 There, where that word incredible keeps coming up. 33:55 They're incredible people, John and Rose, both of them 33:58 and their family. 33:59 But, yeah, when we first heard about them, 34:02 they were, they had this little, 34:04 it was a little green vehicle 34:06 and I think they called it Kermit, 34:07 like Kermit the frog. 34:08 Yeah. That's right. 34:10 And they were traveling to camp meetings 34:11 and was trying to tell everybody 34:12 about this network 3ABN. 34:14 And they would set up a dish and try to get, you know, 34:19 literally go to camp meetings and they were so excited. 34:21 They were volunteers. 34:22 Yeah, absolutely. 34:24 So I began to talk to them and then 34:25 I wanted to find out more about them. 34:27 And I was talking to Mr. Garwin McNeilus 34:29 and Garwin says, I've worked with them overseas. 34:32 And they're incredible people. 34:34 And John's very talented and do all kinds of work. 34:37 And they're both dedicated to the Lord. 34:39 And so we got to know them a little better. 34:41 And so then we said, how about 3ABN Australia, 34:44 and who of course, to put in charge 34:46 other than those two? 34:47 That's right. And, they're wonderful people. 34:49 Love you guys, and thank you so much 34:51 for what you've been doing all these years 34:53 for the cause of God and what you continue to do, 34:57 your life and your ministry is nothing short of a miracle, 35:01 just like us here at 3ABN, God has used you. 35:05 And, only in heaven will you see the results 35:08 of the work of 3ABN Australia. 35:10 Yeah. Amen. 35:12 You know, they were talking about the interlaced system, 35:14 you know, Dr. Yvonne, we were talking about that 35:16 for the prisons earlier, 35:17 but then also what they're doing 35:19 in Australia is incredible. 35:20 I know you've been working with them, 35:21 Dr. Moses, on that project 35:23 to reach the islands surrounding the country. 35:26 Tremendous opportunity out there are people, 35:29 some people don't have internet 35:31 and some people don't even have satellites 35:34 because they are in the islands. 35:36 So, it is a great opportunity. 35:38 Yeah. Amen. 35:40 We want to talk about evangelism. 35:41 We should talk about this little booklet 35:42 and then go to your exciting update, 35:44 Dr. Moses, on Africa. 35:45 We mentioned this in the first hour, 35:47 but this booklet and we've talked about it before, 35:49 but written, of course, by Pastor John Lomacang, 35:51 The Three Angels' Messages in summary 35:54 is an incredible evangelistic opportunity. 35:57 We've been talking tonight about evangelism, 35:59 and this is the opportunity for you to become involved, 36:02 to partner with the ministry of 3ABN 36:05 and sharing the three angels' messages 36:09 with your neighbors, with your coworkers, 36:10 with your friends, with your church members, 36:13 even as Seventh-day Adventist Christians, 36:15 we don't always understand 36:17 what the three angels' messages is. 36:19 So this booklet, the call center is opened. 36:21 This booklet is available 36:23 for a suggested donation of $60. 36:26 Listen to this only $60 36:29 for a whole case of these. 36:30 A whole case? A whole case. 36:31 Of how many? 36:33 There is 200 booklets in a case. 36:35 Wow. 36:36 So $60 just covers the printing 36:37 and the shipping to you. 36:39 The shipping costs for these booklets. 36:40 So for $60 tonight, 36:42 you can call us right now 36:44 at (618) 627-4651. 36:48 That number again is (618) 627-4651. 36:52 Or you can go to our website, 3abn.tv 36:57 You can click on the banner for the books 36:58 and you can order the books that way. 37:00 You can say, I want one case or five or ten, 37:02 what an incredible opportunity 37:04 to be able to share the gospel with those in our communities. 37:08 Well, and what this book does, it literally puts a cap on 37:12 the entire message that we give. 37:13 I liked that. 37:15 A lot of us are within the Adventist Church, 37:17 you know, we can talk about the Sabbath, 37:18 there's a state of the dead, and we can talk about this. 37:21 The three angels' messages, Pastor John, 37:23 the way you put it together, 37:24 you put all the dots together. 37:27 So now, I can look at this 37:28 as a seasoned Seventh-day Adventist Christian, 37:31 or somebody who knows nothing 37:33 about Seventh-day Adventist, 37:35 or very little about the Bible. 37:37 But when they understand 37:39 that this message is talking about them, 37:42 this message is talking about those of us living today 37:45 in the closing moments of earth's history 37:48 and is centered around Jesus. 37:50 That's right. 37:51 So you have these angels flying in the midst of heaven, 37:53 and God wants to use you to be one of those messengers. 37:56 Yes. 37:57 So the way you put it together 37:58 and you center the three angels' messages and Jesus. 38:01 That's right. 38:03 And so, when you get this book, 38:04 not only should you give it away, 38:07 but I would say read it. 38:08 Even if you've been an Adventist, 38:10 don't tell them how many, how many years 38:11 you've been Adventist, 38:12 it's going to put all the dots together. 38:14 So I said, it's like putting the icing on the cake 38:17 if I can use that term. 38:18 So thank you for doing a great job 38:20 and doing it so short that it's just a quick read you 38:22 go through, but it makes such, so much sense. 38:25 You know, I got a call from a pastor 38:27 a couple of weeks ago, actually. 38:29 And he was so excited, 38:31 I had to hold the phone away a little bit from my ear. 38:33 He was an Adventist pastor. 38:34 And he said to me, I've been in the ministry 38:37 and he had just retired. 38:38 He said, I've been in the ministry 38:40 for more than 40 something years. 38:42 This is the first time I've actually, 38:44 and I was blown away. 38:45 He said, you've made it so succinct. 38:47 There are no anecdotal stories about you growing up 38:49 or what church you attended. 38:51 And he says, 38:52 and what I like about it is Christ centered. 38:54 And I got a call from a lady that same day. 38:56 And I said, now 38:58 is this the three angels' messages day? 38:59 I had a call from lady that that same day. 39:00 She said, I finally understand what these messages are. 39:06 And she says, and what I like about it, 39:08 it's Bible only 39:10 because the three angels' messages are so potent 39:12 in and of themselves. 39:14 It's so potent, you have to handle it 39:15 and bathe it in Christ. 39:17 Because it's not about people being lost or people, 39:20 him not liking particular groups, 39:22 because it goes through messages, 39:23 you know, the judgment hour message, 39:25 the fall of Babylon and warning people about the mark 39:27 of the beast, the name and the number. 39:29 So these are very potent in and of themselves. 39:32 And if you don't wrap it in Christ, 39:33 it comes across offensively 39:35 and I've made it my determination 39:37 to make it clear about. 39:38 The Lord wants to save you no matter who you are, 39:41 but these messages, the everlasting gospel. 39:44 What did Jesus say about that in Matthew 24, 39:46 when it's preached into all the world 39:48 as a witness to all nations. 39:50 Well, how could it cover all nations 39:51 without the three angels' messages? 39:53 Amen. 39:54 So it's the capstone of the gospel 39:55 from the time of the fall of man 39:57 to the preparation of the second coming of Jesus. 39:59 Amen. Dr. Yvonne? 40:01 It's a powerful evangelistic tool. 40:03 I think that school should have it, 40:06 churches should have it, 40:08 even prisons. 40:09 I think, you know, we should, 40:10 if people want to order cases to go into different prisons... 40:14 It's a great idea. 40:15 Then we could include that in our packages 40:17 when we send that to the inmate. 40:20 So, I mean, it's, we need to know 40:23 the three angels' messages. 40:25 And like Danny had said, 40:26 we can discuss different aspects of church doctrine, 40:31 but the three angels' messages, 40:32 that's not an easy thing to discuss. 40:34 And Pastor John has just condensed it, 40:36 put it in a great format and it's there for us. 40:39 So I think it's a powerful evangelistic tool to use. 40:44 Oh, yeah. Amen. 40:45 A great opportunity we have this evening, 40:46 like Jill was sharing, you can just call the call center 40:48 or go online and order a case for a suggested donation of $60 40:52 postpaid here in the United States. 40:54 I mean, that's amazing. 40:55 You think about that, printing, postage, basically 30 cents. 40:58 I mean, you think about how we spend 30 cents now. 41:00 I mean, we can spend that quite easily, 41:02 so 30 cents includes, it's just one booklet. 41:04 I wanna make sure I heard right. 41:06 Sorry. I talked kind of fast. 41:07 It does include shipping, isn't it? 41:08 So you're not only getting 200 books, 41:12 the case, but it's actually going to be shipped. 41:14 Yep. That's right. 41:15 For how much? 41:17 Sixty dollars 60 suggested donation here. 41:18 That's almost ridiculous. 41:19 That's almost a giveaway. It is a giveaway. 41:23 That's just a giveaway. It is. 41:25 We had someone that actually caught the vision. 41:27 I mean, you all catch the vision 41:29 of what evangelism is all about, 41:30 but they actually 41:32 were contacting us about 20,000 of these booklets. 41:34 We just shipped them out in Appalachia in California. 41:37 They said they wanted 20,000 of these booklets. 41:40 Amen. And we got it shipped. 41:42 Praise the Lord. Praise God for that. 41:43 It's worth that. 41:45 And it's a message that's going to be pertinent 41:46 until Jesus comes 41:48 'cause right after it in Revelation 14, 41:50 the next thing is the coming of the Lord. 41:52 Yeah. So, praise God for that. 41:53 Yeah. Join the movement. 41:55 Yes. 41:56 So Dr. Moses, tell us about the exciting things 41:58 that are happening in Africa? 42:00 This is exciting. Yeah. 42:01 I'm very excited because 42:03 for one time we were on all over Africa, on satellite 42:08 and then we lost that satellite for several years. 42:12 And now we have that opportunity again. 42:15 Since April 9th, we started to broadcast 42:19 in the Western side of Africa. 42:22 That's huge. 42:23 Yeah, it's a... 42:25 And it is a package it's called View Africa. 42:29 And, it is a free to air, so anyone can receive. 42:34 It is a same package that, it has different channels 42:38 that you can pay for it. 42:40 But if you don't want to pay for those channels, 42:43 that are, they are bad channels anyway. 42:46 So you can get to just the free channels 42:48 that they are several 42:50 it's about the package of 30 something 42:52 free channels that you can get in Africa. 42:55 And it's tailored, targeted to Nigeria, 42:59 the country of Nigeria. 43:02 And that they say that just in that package alone, 43:06 there will, there is a 45 million homes. 43:10 Wow. 43:11 Now, if you multiply a home in Africa, 43:14 maybe here in United States is by three. 43:17 But if you multiply that, you know, you can do the math, 43:21 you were talking a lot of million people. 43:23 Oh, yeah. 43:25 And, not only in Nigeria, 43:28 but the satellite has a footprint 43:33 that is aimed to West side of Africa. 43:37 Okay. 43:38 So I called Uganda and I said, 43:41 can you receive it? 43:43 And that they haven't tested it yet. 43:44 So I went to the other side and I called Ghana. 43:48 We have a affiliate station in Ghana. 43:50 We have a small studio there 43:52 and that they produce local programs. 43:55 And I asked them that they can receive in Ghana. 43:59 So Ghana is in the very end of Western Africa, 44:04 after that, it's just the ocean, 44:05 and we're not going to preach to the fish. 44:09 So the fish doesn't need the conversion 44:11 but from the very far West of Africa, 44:15 all the way to Nigeria 44:19 and a little beyond this satellite covers. 44:22 I checked also, we are potentially talking 44:25 to a company in Liberia 44:28 and they checked in that they can receive 44:31 that channel also. 44:33 And so, it is a very good footprint for a, 44:37 a small amount of satellite time. 44:40 Oh, yeah. And it's free to air? 44:42 It's free to air. 44:43 So people can access it free. 44:44 They don't have to purchase any packages. 44:46 It's just and all of these, you said 45 million homes 44:48 in Nigeria already have it? 44:50 Yeah. Just in Nigeria alone. 44:51 That's amazing. 44:52 But the footprint expands though beyond Nigeria, we know. 44:55 Yeah. So they have to get the licenses 44:57 if they want to sell to other countries 45:00 like Ghana or Liberia, 45:02 but they don't need it to sell 45:04 because it is free to air. 45:06 We are only interested in the free channels, 45:10 but they are interested in selling all their channels, 45:13 but so we can claim that 45:15 it covers Ghana, Liberia, and Nigeria. 45:20 Wow. 45:22 Praise the Lord. 45:24 I think about God providing, you know, our needs too, 45:26 you know, for this, because you know, 45:27 this is the year of expansion, you've been... 45:30 Every year we always claim something for the Lord, right? 45:32 Okay. So this is the year of expansion. 45:33 God, not just to expand as in us building buildings, 45:37 but expand Your Word to those 45:39 that don't know about You. 45:40 And these opportunities have just presented themselves. 45:43 And we just step out in faith 45:44 and someone has actually given us 45:46 actually a donation to cover the entire year 45:48 for us to be there in Nigeria. 45:50 The cost to be on the satellite. 45:52 Amen. 45:54 That's what I was going to say, people, 45:55 I think thanks to the viewer of 3ABN 45:57 and they catch the mission of preaching 46:01 all over the world 46:03 because somebody just stepped and gave us the first year. 46:06 We'll have to be responsible for the second year. 46:10 Lord will provide. 46:11 But we will, yeah, we trust God will provide again. 46:14 This is a very good potential to reach a millions of people. 46:19 What I'm thinking is from past experience, 46:22 probably nobody here is going to be losing sleep this year, 46:25 wondering where it's going to come from next year. 46:27 Exactly. 46:28 We are going to enjoy the blessing 46:30 God has given us this year. 46:31 You're right. 46:32 And know He'll provide this coming year. 46:34 Yeah, you're absolutely right. 46:35 When you talk about satellite dishes, 46:36 they kind of look like angels. 46:38 Yeah. 46:40 Flying in the midst of heaven. 46:41 Space that they're winged. 46:43 Flying in the midst of heaven. Praise the Lord. 46:44 And tell us about Uganda? 46:46 Uganda is also a very good opportunity to, 46:51 it started to expand. 46:52 We're talking about a year of expansion. 46:56 In Uganda, we were for many years 46:59 trying to find a group that will help us 47:03 to produce local programs. 47:06 And we found a group that is a lay organization 47:10 called Avvento Media, 47:13 and we help put some equipment together 47:17 and they are producing a lot of programs to help, 47:22 to reach to the local community. 47:26 And I like to show a picture of their program, the schedule. 47:30 So you can see that, 47:32 most of the Saturday it's in the green area. 47:36 If you see the green, that is all local content... 47:38 Really? 47:40 And, they call 20:00 which is a military time 47:44 for 8 o'clock at PM. 47:46 So that is all covered an entire week from 8 to 10, 47:51 they are producing local programs. 47:54 Now that I believe that 47:55 the calls are going to come 47:57 because of the church members are going to see their faces 48:01 and they're going to start to help 48:03 to this affiliate that there. 48:06 And it's an NGO is a 3ABN Uganda, NGO. 48:10 I want to also show the logo they came up with, 48:14 which is the 3ABN logo with a little Uganda flag 48:19 Oh yeah, we like it. I love it. 48:21 I thought that was very creative 48:22 to have the flag right there. 48:24 It is. 48:25 You know, and in 1990, 48:28 Prime Minister Kisekka 48:29 came to the General Conference session in Indianapolis. 48:32 We brought him here to 3ABN, 48:35 and that's one of the few times 48:37 I've been treated like a celebrity 48:39 in my own country here. 48:40 They say here, because the police were there. 48:42 They had police escorts. 48:44 All the politicians were around to greet the prime minister, 48:47 but I was there with him, you see, 48:49 I was at airport for that too. 48:51 We flew into Marion and came, he came to 3ABN 48:55 and spent some time here. 48:57 Wow. 48:58 And, so he had 48:59 a great impact on number of other people 49:02 like Bob Vila's sports writer 49:03 and then newspaper editor 49:05 later on, but he was such a dedicated Christian, 49:08 but his dream and in coming here in 1990, 49:11 his dream he's resting in Jesus now 49:14 was to get 3ABN throughout all Uganda. 49:17 Oh, wow. 49:19 And so, that was his dream and prayer. 49:20 Look at that today. 49:22 1990. Praise the Lord. 49:24 Give you a high fiver across the table. 49:25 High five. Praise the Lord. 49:27 All day. That's amazing. 49:29 Our affiliate that we have there 49:31 and the 3ABN NGO that we have there 49:34 is actually broadcasting all this years in Kampala, 49:39 which is the capital city, 49:42 but the license, it covers the entire country, 49:46 but the country is divided in they call regions 49:50 and to expand to other regions, 49:54 you have to pay additional license. 49:57 So, we can, we can do it in a week. 50:01 It can happen just overnight. 50:02 We just have to pay for those. 50:05 There are nine regions in the country. 50:07 So, this is another opportunity for the viewer tonight, 50:11 if they want to sponsor a region in Uganda, 50:16 you can do that because we have the license 50:19 and we are producing programs. 50:21 So that is a commitment that the government ask 50:25 to produce local programs. 50:27 And we are doing that. 50:29 So we just need to raise the funds to expand it 50:32 to these other regions besides Kampala. 50:35 Amen. 50:36 You know, we appreciate the local conference too, 50:38 because the Seventh-day Adventist Church 50:39 is very supportive of this. 50:41 I think actually part of our equipment 50:42 is in one of their buildings. 50:43 ADRA is very supportive of the project there too. 50:45 So it's just great to see the people coming together 50:48 to get the gospel to the country of Uganda. 50:50 Thank you, Dr. Moses too, 50:52 because you know, the time difference, 50:54 you know, odd hours of the day, 50:55 working with them to get all this. 50:57 Oh, yeah. So thank you. 50:58 Wow. We thank the laypeople there also. 51:02 We have a very strong board of directors there. 51:05 Yes. 51:06 We have, like I said, 51:07 somebody representing the conference, 51:10 the ADRA, 51:11 we have people that work in the industry there 51:14 like in university, 51:17 Elder Jackson. 51:18 Yeah, the professor. Yeah. 51:20 He is very good support to this NGO. 51:24 And we are striving to get the more programs 51:29 to the people to be and choose and to support that expansion. 51:34 Amen. That's right. 51:36 Thank you, Dr. Moses. 51:37 So people can donate tonight. 51:38 Our 3ABN family, you can donate tonight. 51:40 If you want to donate 51:42 specifically for the 3ABN, Uganda project, 51:44 you can go on our website and donate that way. 51:46 Or you can call us at (618) 627-4651 51:51 and say, yes, I want to get 3ABN 51:53 into Uganda into these regions, 51:57 I guess that's the word you used, yeah. 51:58 You definitely got it right this year, 52:00 the year of expansion. 52:01 Yeah. 52:03 So when that came because look at the areas, 52:05 even we've just talked about today, 52:07 you know, with Cuba, with Uganda, Nigeria. 52:12 Nigeria, what's happening in Australia. 52:14 Correct. Interlaced system. 52:16 And the prison. 52:18 And what's happening with prison ministries in America. 52:20 I mean, all of that to expansion 52:21 and it just keeps going on and on. 52:24 So I know we're almost out of time. 52:25 I'm going to get to you, Pastor John. 52:26 I wanted to say this, Mr. Danny, 52:28 because it's just, it's been a new, um, 52:29 it's been a learning experience for me, right? 52:30 You know, we've done this transition about a year 52:32 or so to go 52:35 and to see all of these needs and everything coming in, 52:37 boy, it works on your faith. 52:41 But as you just stated a few minutes ago, 52:43 you know, we claim next year to. 52:45 God will provide the funds that we need, 52:46 because I can testify to the goodness of the Lord. 52:49 And that's through you because He's using you 52:51 as a vessel to pour into this ministry. 52:53 And we immediately put it right back out there 52:55 to spread the gospel around the world. 52:57 Because I cannot tell you all the requests 52:59 that come in across our desks, 53:00 we need 3ABN here. 53:02 We need 3ABN here. We need 3ABN here. 53:03 We need 3ABN here. 53:05 And I'm like, I don't know 53:06 where all these funds are coming from, 53:08 but you know, God provides the needs. 53:09 Like this gentleman, $100,000 53:10 for the matching for prison ministry. 53:12 We weren't expecting that at all. 53:13 We're looking at all these needs coming in 53:14 and boom this happens. 53:16 God continues to supply our needs. 53:18 And I just have to testify to the goodness of the Lord 53:20 and say, thank you God, for providing our needs. 53:22 We don't know where it's coming from, 53:24 but God does. 53:25 And so, man, it's just, 53:27 it's, it's been a growing experience for me. 53:28 And as long as we focus on truth and on the message, 53:31 John's book, Three Angels' Messages 53:34 on the message God has given us. 53:36 It will never fail. Amen. 53:38 You know Jeremiah 32:27 says, 53:40 "Behold, I am the Lord, the God of all flesh." 53:44 Wow. 53:45 "Is there anything too hard for me?" 53:47 That's right. 53:48 And so COVID, 53:49 I was saying to someone 53:51 COVID did not slowed down the internet 53:52 and it didn't slowed down 3ABN. 53:54 Thank you, Pastor. That's true. 53:56 So, expanding in spite of 53:58 some countries are still not opening their borders. 54:00 You know, Australia has a lot of restrictions. 54:01 In New Zealand, Jim Rennie our good friend 54:04 with the Child Impact. 54:06 We communicate periodically and he said, 54:08 "They're so stringent. 54:09 If they get two cases, 54:10 the entire country goes on total lockdown." 54:13 Wow, two cases? 54:14 I mean, can't come out of the house. 54:16 I mean, there's stringent lockdown. 54:17 If two cases are mentioned, 54:20 but it doesn't stop satellite transmission. 54:23 It doesn't stop expansion. 54:24 We are not able to get clearance to fly to Africa, 54:28 but the message of Three Angels Broadcasting 54:30 is flying to Africa without permission from COVID. 54:33 So God is not being prevented by anything. 54:36 And those of you that are part of the ministry, 54:39 consider that the gospel is going not because of man, 54:42 but because God says 54:43 there is nothing that hell can do 54:45 to prevail against it. 54:46 So praise God for the expansion. 54:48 God is expanding His kingdom. 54:50 Thank you, Moses, 54:51 for what you've been doing all these years. 54:53 God is good. God is good all the time. 54:55 Yeah, I had to be, he was my go-to 54:57 guy for years, 25, 30 years. 55:01 He is my go to guy. 55:03 He was, he's the guy, because you know, I can talk, 55:06 but I don't know how to get it anywhere. 55:08 He knew how to take it somewhere. 55:11 Yeah. Praise the Lord. 55:12 God brings the people we need. 55:14 Yeah. Amen. 55:15 We talked the first hour, you weren't on with us, 55:18 Pastor John, about camp meeting, 55:19 our upcoming Adventist virtual global camp meetings. 55:22 So talk to us just a moment about your presentations 55:25 for that since you're here now, 55:26 and then we'll touch on our own camp meeting too. 55:29 Two presentations, simply trying to put Revelation 55:32 into perspective in the context of the last days. 55:34 And I did two presentations, 55:36 one called The Coalition of Destruction, 55:38 the other one, The Coalition of Deliverance, 55:42 and one speaks about the three sides. 55:44 Both have three sides, three unclean spirits, 55:47 and three angels' messages. 55:49 And so, we find that I led out 55:52 with the coalition of destruction. 55:55 I saw three unclean spirits. 55:57 And then I let out with, ended with the coalition 56:00 of deliverance, three angels. 56:02 And our God is looking at the coalition of destruction 56:05 and saying, I see where you're headed, 56:07 but I'm going to bring you down 56:09 and get My people out before you come down. 56:11 Wow. Good. 56:12 So, it's called 56:13 the Wine of Babylon is the first one. 56:15 And the last one is entitled the Remnant, 56:17 subtitle Coalition of Deliverance. 56:20 And I got to give you the real joke 56:21 real quickly here. 56:23 I had planned for one hour sermon. 56:24 Oh. Now this is funny. 56:26 And I didn't read the small print, 56:27 got to read Jill's emails in total detail. 56:31 So I didn't read the small print that says 28:50 56:34 and I went to preach my sermon. 56:36 And I said, 56:37 "Well, Kayle, you have to adjust the time, 56:39 it says 28:50." 56:40 He said, "No, it is 28 50." 56:42 I said, "I planned for..." 56:43 Oh no. 56:45 So I went in 56:46 and in five minutes I edited my sermon 56:48 down to 28:50. 56:50 And at the end of the second sermon, 56:52 Justin, you know, Justin is, 56:54 he stood up and clapped 56:55 and it was about the army of God. 56:57 The whole armor of God. He said, I'm ready to fight. 56:59 Where's the fight, I'm going to be the remnant. 57:01 And so praise God. 57:03 I said, do not tell my church 57:04 that I could preach for 28 minutes and 50 seconds. 57:07 Well, you just told the whole world 57:09 Thank you, if you didn't hear that. 57:11 Praise God for that. 57:12 We're excited. 57:14 I can't believe we're all the way to the end 57:15 of our two hours. 57:16 Thank you, Danny and Yvonne, 57:18 thank you, Pastor John and Dr. Moses. 57:20 Thank you for your heart for ministry 57:21 and your heart to spread the gospel for the world. 57:24 What a gift. 57:25 And we're so grateful that 57:26 you are a part of our 3ABN family. 57:29 I want to get a quick shout out to our own camp meeting, 57:32 which is coming June 8-12. 57:35 Amen. 57:36 Go to 3abncampmeeting.org And you can register. 57:39 You can see the schedule. 57:40 You can see the speakers and the theme 57:42 and what is coming next. 57:44 And I'm excited about that. 57:45 So tonight we've talked about a lot of things, 57:47 but the most important is give your life to Jesus 57:51 and then go and tell what He has done. 57:53 Bye-bye. Amen. |
