We give God honor and glory and praise and I've said it before. I say 05:23 it with my hand up, as we say, with my heart that God blesses us in spite of us in it does 05:32 not bless you or maybe because of us. But in spite of And so the key, I don't I don't want 05:39 to say the secret, but the key to successful ministry to keep going after 37 years is to 05:47 stay focused to the message. know, while I've had all kinds of problems as you have H and 05:55 all her sleigh and all things happen. And if we didn't something's wrong, you know, 06:00 all who live godly suffer persecution. And sometimes we suffer whether we godly or 06:05 not. So we bring honor own demise the time so all of that aside, God's willing to use 06:11 anyone who's willing to be used. So tonight he wants to use you while we're 06:15 celebrating 37 years of ministry tonight would like for you to say, Lord, what is 06:21 it? You want me to do that? Maybe it seems impossible. But with the EU, all things are 06:28 possible. I can do all things through Christ strengthens because we've not gotten the 06:33 gospel and to all the world. Yeah, we're very close. But the Lord, a nurse, a need you 06:40 and really we need him to order commission for your own salvation and your own benefit 06:46 commissions. You to take the gospel, share your testimony. God has done for you. So Greg 06:54 and Jill, thank you for what you do now for continuing the message of an and diluted 3 06:59 Angeles messages. One would counteract the counterfeit and what they have done in Bonn to 07:06 this ministry for many years. But in the last 2 years, since you've taken over the lead 07:11 roles, a president vice president and then amazing, we sat back and marvel. No God 07:17 uses you. And so thank you so much for your calling for what you do. And I'm asking each an 07:21 folks at home to be praying for Greg in jail because responsibilities. Tremendous. 07:28 Yeah. And so we can decide to put it on our shoulders or give it to God sometimes I've 07:32 done both through the year. I always find my shoulders fail. So I go back to God. When I 07:36 fail, I might go back and say Lord, you know, I failed. am sorry and we can do that. But 07:43 the message I'm convinced the only reason 3 A B and continues to go worst 5, 0, 07:49 one C ministry separate were 7th avenues Christians here. But we're not part of the 07:54 organized church. We get no money from the church period. But we get money from you. The 08:01 viewers, you you're the ones who donate is the Holy Spirit impresses. You don't agate 08:05 dons in praise of times and all those things to guilt trip you into giving simply say if 08:12 the Holy Spirit's impressing, that's right. You you know, would you support this 08:14 ministry? So Ukraine Ascot, but that's a miracle in itself. 37 years later, I 08:22 basically everything aid for MS, but we don't have money in the bank to speak But you know 08:27 what? Moneys there's going to be gone next month. continues to not always fills up that We 08:33 really need you and thank you for your love and your prayers and financial support. But God 08:37 will continue to bless his ministry. Tell he's through it. That's right. And when 08:42 will it be through it? It may be before he comes back because times are getting 08:46 worse and worse and worse. You look at all the and then the government control of media 08:52 and all these things. So anything can happen. So while we have time and while the 08:56 doors are open, we should be taking the gospel into in every nation candor town, 09:04 friends, people Loot, Lee, what we want to do right now is take a walk down memory 09:10 lane. inning of this 37 years ago.

A little lady donated a 2 acre plot of land, a charismatic preacher promised 10:31 him television equipment broadcast engineer offered to help set up a satellite uplink 10:36 station. Danny saw each of them is confirmation from God and the Lord blessed his 10:44 efforts by providing the funds through the most unlikely people. 10:48 >> Many of them were total strangers yet so passionate about evangelism that they 10:55 were willing to sacrifice so that others might hear about Jesus. Moved forward, building 11:02 a studio and offices with the help of his brothers and other volunteers.

It's 17:11 it's a it's encouraging and it's exciting. That's right. Because we see how God just 17:15 brings you from point to point to point to point and this is a master plan. So it's amazing 17:21 to me. >> I'm excited. And then absolutely. I've had numerous 17:23 people tell me that they've given A's to their kids to different ones. And and people 17:30 actually said we watch that and really brought me closer to the Lord and some there 17:34 actually had people say, I joined the church because I saw those miracles. And so as 17:40 not just looking at this, the whole point is just to show people, as you said to look at 17:45 God, that's route to look at people.

And so he has done that for this ministry. Again, thanks to You know, I think 18:04 about the participation. I remember as a as a young child and 3 again started. We're 18:08 doing the math earlier before we start this program. I believe I was 8 years old. 18:12 Yeah. started in my family and church got involved with Reagan at a giant satellite 18:15 dish were recording programs. But I remember the vision that you presented to the world 18:20 audience. You didn't know who was watching my sister and I watch what Mister Danny was 18:25 doing and how the world the gospel is going to the So we grew strawberries. We grew 18:32 watermelons and we sold those things beside the road. And we took some of those proceeds 18:37 and sent them to 3, And then for this building, you know, you know, it may be small. I 18:43 think we said I don't quite remember. I think maybe matter what it is when God calls, do 18:50 do it. And just think if every person watching this program right now said $25 that would 18:57 millions. Just think we can do because at times it seems like the la just so many projects 19:01 and that may be a good dollars or 30 Saturday. All right. And that's why anniversary, I like 19:09 pressing love or you may want to 300, 70 or 3 30. man. I love and no present or for 19:18 what he's done and then and we're looking tonight at the growth of ministries right and 19:22 we started with a parent network and went to many other networks. And right now we're 19:25 going to go to dare to dream, which was not. >> The second network, of 19:29 course, that came later on. We're not going chronologically in time. 19:34 >> But their genes specifically for the inner city, urban audiences. And 19:36 let's take a look at that role right now. 3, a B N's dare to dream. That work began in 19:42 2000, 10 when Danny Shelton reached out to doctor to develop an urban addressing 19:48 them. >> Mental spiritual and emotional needs of inner city 19:52 residents. >> Dare to dream soon became the premier Pioneer Network 19:58 charter, launching on the Internet in 2000, 11 and a year later on A few years 20:04 after that. Defiance and Jason joined her as assistant to the general manager and in 2018, 20:12 it request he was promoted to general manager while she continued as a consultant to 20:16 the network. God has done great things this year starting by opening prison 20:24 doors through God's blessings and the faithful supporter of our viewers dare to dream. Now 20:29 has the opportunity to provide programming for correctional facilities across the United 20:34 States by sending them hard drives preprogrammed with powerful Christian in this 20:41 way. Thousands of hours of programs will be directly piped into prison cells, 20:47 giving many women in custody. The opportunity to hear about Jesus. parent and how to live 20:53 a healthy life. learn how to grow and maintain healthy relationships and game victory 21:00 over the bondage of sand. But that's not all. >> In April, the Lord provided 21:06 a unique opportunity to reach 45 million homes in Nigeria and other parts of West Africa 21:13 through the Freeview Africa platform, a direct to home satellite service with no 21:18 monthly fee required from the customer. New programs developed this year include 21:23 yoga, a deeper look, a series that investigates the phenomenon has taken this 21:28 world by storm. A new study in the prophetic book of Daniel was recorded in the series 21:34 called Salvation and symbols and signs and the new Power Packed 15 minute version 21:41 program. Missing piece was produced as well. Surely the Lord has blessed 3 and their 21:48 dreams efforts to reach an ever wider urban with God's love and hope. We believe that 21:53 the best is yet to come. >> why every time I see the story, how of how God brought 22:03 dare to dream and to fruition. It amazes me just like every time I hear the 3ABN story. 22:11 it's amazing because when we first started. I actually came to interview about a book I 22:20 had written and Danny was my interviewer and we started talking about the inner city 22:26 and and though and he saw my passion for it. the lawyer impressed him to ask me to be 22:32 the general manager and and it was amazing to me because I needed an Couldn't find an 22:40 assistant interview a lot of different people. >> But I felt like they just 22:45 actually just wanted to be on television, maybe more so than being an assistant. The had me 22:52 of Jason here. You came for a day of prayer and he has taken over the Ihsan of yeah of the 23:03 general manager. I'm still the consultant to the network with Jason is and he's doing a fine 23:08 job demand and he's an exciting about the prison ministry and what we're doing 23:13 in the prisons with the hard drive. So J I'm so proud of you and and the man of God 23:19 that you are and what God is doing, do you with their dream. So would you just tell 23:25 us what's going on now? We've we've seen what's happened in the past. We've seen a little 23:29 bit of what's happening now, but explain that to our audience. Please cause people 23:34 need to know will first off praise the Lord. >> For any progress and all of 23:40 that stuff. This is been an incredible You know, I'm so glad that you did calm and so 23:46 come out here and check it out, we're glad to. Yeah. So glad to be here. And I'm glad 23:54 I'm happy about the direction that dare to dream has taken all throughout the years. And 24:00 so just like parent, 3 ABN staying focused on the mission and staying true to the 24:07 mission. So, you know, a lot of the Bible says somewhere that my people, Paris for a 24:12 lack of and so with their dream, what we want to do is we want to provide that 24:19 knowledge by pointing them to the word of And that goes for everyone. And we do it in a 24:25 very practical way. So we have the health and wellness programs. We have financial 24:28 literacy, sexual purity. We preaching Bible prophecy. We're students thrive its 24:37 operation and some of them Yes, praise got 112 episodes. I believe we get an e-mail 24:43 every single day. Every literally every single day about that program and how 24:48 it's changing people's lives and what a blessing. And yes, that's and so, you know, with 24:53 this being the year of expansion. That's right. that's really our expanding 24:59 into new territory. So we're we're going into prisons. We've got ISD ATV enter LA and 25:07 they're loaded with 3,000, 901 which is the special prison ministry version of into. 25:20 Let's say it is. Yeah, it is. So yeah, of course you want to remove the children's programs 25:25 and all that stuff because it's going to prisons. >> is what? All it's an on 25:32 demand system. But this is going to be so and instead of like going in selecting its 25:38 kind of just play, you plug it in and it just going have to have the Internet don't have 25:43 to have the Internet or anything that great. Yes, that's used for prison. No 25:50 internet, no satellite, no TV, nothing new. Just that. You plug it in and plays on your 25:54 TV. Yes, plug and play. And so they can go out over the in-house closed-circuit 25:58 television channel and then go throughout the whole entire prison. So that means that the 26:02 Gospels going forward in that so doesn't have to be refreshed, right? I mean, it's 26:09 just it's continues for how long, continuous? Well, as long as 3,000 cycle cycle 26:22 through that and everything, lot of our yes and some of them are to our programs are 26:27 in our program or 30 minute programs. 15 minute program. >> So it's it's kind of hard 26:30 to say how long. But 3,000, 901 program. So we're excited about that. We're also excited 26:38 about the fact that we N Africa. Yeah. Review Africa on the direct to home satellite, 26:45 a system where people only purchased the satellite from the company and then. After 26:53 that, there's no monthly fee they can get there to dream. And that means the gospels 26:58 going forward to Africa. And how many homes is that in Africa? 45 million homes? 27:06 >> And doctor Moos said that even that's like really concentrated. But outside of 27:09 that, the footprint maybe extends a little bit. Is that right? They were not quite 27:13 sure how far. But yes, the enormous amount. And as that company grows. 27:19 >> Yes, so will the, you know, dare to dream on the cover. Yeah, exactly. And so and 27:24 we're always looking for new opportunities to where we are exploring new opportunities as 27:28 well to get the gospel to go forward. And I'm thankful that, you know, the name of 27:31 the network is dare to Dream Network because, you know, you have to have a dream. But you 27:38 have to put action behind that drink. So I to to take it beyond just being a dream. I'm 27:46 also thankful for Isaiah Chapter, 55 versus 8, 9 that says for my thoughts are not 27:52 your thoughts and nor are your ways. My way says the Lord for as the heavens are higher than 27:57 the earth. I ways higher than your ways. And my thoughts, then your thought and so and 28:03 sitting in the chairs, general manager of 3, a B ends, their dream network. You know, you 28:08 you start thinking like it. If there's a cancellation or something happens and you're 28:12 just what am I going to do now? But God had a and his plan is always best and the 28:19 and so being sitting in that chair, which I'm glad you decided to give me that call 28:25 coming out here because it has strengthened my faith and grow in my faith and all that by 28:32 leaps and bounds. And incredible, just incredible, Mister Danny, think about the 28:37 initial dream. One channel, right to ask the world and now 9 channels, radio reaching the 28:45 world. Very specific, like their dream, right? But I know many people enjoyed energy 28:50 program, but it's incredible what God has It's mind boggling. And that's why, 28:52 again, we say you you said or what God has done has not one individual. 28:57 >> Has done it. Just all of us working together, the folks at home. Those of us here we're 29:04 not done yet. Know what I think we're not. We're not through yet. Division 29:07 continues literally millions of more people are man reached all the time virtually every 29:14 day people. And I don't know if you the big numbers, if you want to look at Internet and 29:21 all that, I hear people say a billion or 2. I don't know how many, but I know it's a lot of 29:23 people around the world and just think if of small percentage of those accept 29:28 Jesus, you know, and his troops for the closing moments of Earth's history. How 29:33 amazing that is. And we get those letters to all the time. People come to the Lord, 29:38 people who have joined the church because of 3 ABN, all the different networks and 29:45 radio and television just want to add one more thing. This is for pot and mom understand 29:52 this. I'm so glad that I don't work in a restaurant He loves her leadership. at the calling 30:07 that God has on your life and you do an amazing job. Thank We are going to go next to 30:13 3ABN, Latino.

A few weeks later, 3 ABN Latino was available on 31:20 cable companies in 17 different countries throughout Central and South America.
