Hello and welcome back to 3ABN
Today Live Behind the Scenes.
00:00:12.67\00:00:16.95
It's a great day in the Lord,
a great evening in the Lord,
00:00:16.98\00:00:18.98
I don't know when
you're watching us,
00:00:19.01\00:00:20.35
what time of the day it
is, all we know is that 3ABN
00:00:20.38\00:00:22.35
goes around the world.
00:00:22.38\00:00:23.72
And thank you so very much
for being a part of our family.
00:00:23.75\00:00:26.79
First hour flew by in a hurry
00:00:26.82\00:00:28.82
and I know the
second hour will too.
00:00:28.86\00:00:31.09
So neat to talk with
Pastor Claude Turner,
00:00:31.13\00:00:33.16
he turns 102
years old next week.
00:00:33.19\00:00:37.10
You know, I thought
that I should have mentioned
00:00:37.13\00:00:38.47
on the first hour,
00:00:38.50\00:00:39.83
if you feel so
desired to send in something
00:00:39.87\00:00:41.90
just a little
happy birthday wish,
00:00:41.94\00:00:43.64
through email or
through the letter,
00:00:43.67\00:00:45.11
I guarantee you,
he will be encouraged
00:00:45.14\00:00:47.18
and we love hearing from you.
00:00:47.21\00:00:49.81
You know, there's a song that's
just been on my brain tonight.
00:00:49.84\00:00:53.72
And it's a song that I
used to sing as a child
00:00:53.75\00:00:56.99
and it's still
applicable today as adults.
00:00:57.02\00:00:59.65
And that's the song
Jesus loves me this I know.
00:00:59.69\00:01:03.26
You know, we talked about
being family together, right?
00:01:03.29\00:01:05.73
But ultimately
to be family of God.
00:01:05.76\00:01:08.30
Wow, what an incredible thought
to think that Jesus loves me
00:01:08.33\00:01:13.13
and to think
that Jesus loves you,
00:01:13.17\00:01:15.87
and that He came to this earth
to die for the entire world.
00:01:15.90\00:01:20.48
Yes, but you're
part of the world
00:01:20.51\00:01:22.41
and He came to die for you.
00:01:22.44\00:01:24.21
What an incredible
thought, what, I mean,
00:01:24.25\00:01:25.98
what better way
to start the New Year
00:01:26.01\00:01:27.55
than to know
that Jesus loves me.
00:01:27.58\00:01:30.09
And to look at God, we
talked about the theme earlier,
00:01:30.12\00:01:33.15
that 3ABN has a
theme for each year.
00:01:33.19\00:01:35.36
And this year, it's look at God,
00:01:35.39\00:01:37.49
like you were
mentioning all the successes,
00:01:37.53\00:01:39.49
it's not our successes,
it's not your successes,
00:01:39.53\00:01:41.70
it's God.
00:01:41.73\00:01:43.06
The worries and
things that right just go on
00:01:43.10\00:01:44.43
or we think about it
like fret and worry and stuff,
00:01:44.47\00:01:47.70
just look at God.
00:01:47.74\00:01:49.07
He's got it taken care
of. We have plans, right?
00:01:49.10\00:01:50.77
We want to do
these certain things.
00:01:50.81\00:01:52.57
Let's look to God because
He has the true direction.
00:01:52.61\00:01:55.64
I tell you, it's just so fun.
00:01:55.68\00:01:57.01
So fun to be partnered up
with you and to, of course,
00:01:57.05\00:01:59.21
have God as the
captain of our ship
00:01:59.25\00:02:01.32
and to be in this thing together
00:02:01.35\00:02:02.68
because we know that
Jesus Christ is coming very,
00:02:02.72\00:02:05.55
very soon.
00:02:05.59\00:02:06.92
And we counted a
privilege, Jill and I do,
00:02:06.96\00:02:08.76
we know you do, too, to
be a part of God's work.
00:02:08.79\00:02:13.70
It's humbling, isn't it?
00:02:13.73\00:02:15.30
But we can have an impact in
somebody's life for eternity.
00:02:15.33\00:02:17.87
Anyway, I'm so excited.
00:02:17.90\00:02:19.23
We have some family
with us here this evening.
00:02:19.27\00:02:22.04
And we've done
some musical chairs.
00:02:22.07\00:02:23.51
We have indeed.
00:02:23.54\00:02:24.87
I love Behind the
Scenes because we get to share
00:02:24.91\00:02:26.47
what God is
doing in your ministry.
00:02:26.51\00:02:28.18
That's 3ABN, we get to share,
00:02:28.21\00:02:30.31
look at God and what He is doing
00:02:30.35\00:02:32.45
and what He's
done this past year
00:02:32.48\00:02:34.45
and one of the
plans for the coming year.
00:02:34.48\00:02:36.15
And we have more of
our 3ABN family here.
00:02:36.18\00:02:39.35
To my right is Aunt Francine
00:02:39.39\00:02:40.79
who's the Kids'
Network General Manager,
00:02:40.82\00:02:43.46
doing an
incredible job I might add.
00:02:43.49\00:02:46.23
And I'm so grateful for your
leadership for that network,
00:02:46.26\00:02:49.43
and so glad you're here tonight.
00:02:49.46\00:02:50.83
Thank you.
00:02:50.87\00:02:52.20
I'm delighted to be here
and just talk about Jesus.
00:02:52.23\00:02:54.40
Amen. Amen. I love that.
00:02:54.44\00:02:56.57
We kind of got the meme,
I don't know if you noticed
00:02:56.60\00:02:58.31
that kind of burgundy look here.
00:02:58.34\00:02:59.67
We didn't plan that.
00:02:59.71\00:03:01.04
And next to you Bobby Davis's
tie kind of matches that too.
00:03:01.08\00:03:04.15
I like that.
00:03:04.18\00:03:05.51
Now, Bobby Davis is
not always on camera,
00:03:05.55\00:03:07.95
although we wished
we could get you more.
00:03:07.98\00:03:10.19
But to me, Bobby
is the voice of 3ABN.
00:03:10.22\00:03:14.39
Almost everything that
goes out of this ministry
00:03:14.42\00:03:16.66
that's written or scripted,
00:03:16.69\00:03:19.36
or tele prompted,
00:03:19.39\00:03:21.86
would be filtered somehow
00:03:21.90\00:03:24.93
through Bobby
and his department.
00:03:24.97\00:03:27.00
Thank you so much,
Bobby, for being here.
00:03:27.04\00:03:28.94
It's a pleasure
to be here, Jill.
00:03:28.97\00:03:30.81
Thank you. Thank you for asking.
00:03:30.84\00:03:32.54
You've been here a few years.
00:03:32.57\00:03:35.81
It'll be 30 years this year.
00:03:35.84\00:03:37.45
Wow.
00:03:37.48\00:03:38.91
Tell us just a snippet.
00:03:38.95\00:03:40.32
I know we have been talking
00:03:40.35\00:03:41.75
about other
stuff here tonight too.
00:03:41.78\00:03:43.18
But tell us just a
snippet of your journey,
00:03:43.22\00:03:45.39
what brought you
to this ministry?
00:03:45.42\00:03:47.42
Well, what
brought me here was God,
00:03:47.46\00:03:52.06
there was no doubt about it.
00:03:52.09\00:03:53.46
Because quite
honestly, at the time,
00:03:53.50\00:03:56.93
I worked in
commercial television
00:03:56.97\00:03:59.53
and I had no
intentions of ever switching
00:03:59.57\00:04:02.90
over to ministry television.
00:04:02.94\00:04:05.17
And the Lord had other plans.
00:04:05.21\00:04:07.24
And I lost my job in
commercial television.
00:04:07.28\00:04:10.48
I spent 13 months
00:04:10.51\00:04:13.65
learning how to
live on a fraction
00:04:13.68\00:04:15.28
of what I was making.
00:04:15.32\00:04:16.89
And the Lord was, of course,
00:04:16.92\00:04:18.35
working on my heart and finally,
00:04:18.39\00:04:21.36
as a desperation
move, I just finally let go
00:04:21.39\00:04:26.56
and let God lead me.
00:04:26.59\00:04:27.93
And when He did,
00:04:27.96\00:04:29.40
this is where I
ended up and it's,
00:04:29.43\00:04:31.60
it was a battle to
be honest with you.
00:04:31.63\00:04:35.90
I can't say I was
eager to come here.
00:04:35.94\00:04:38.81
But I trusted Him enough
in all other areas of my life
00:04:38.84\00:04:42.08
to know that He knew
where He needed me next
00:04:42.11\00:04:44.35
and big surprise,
00:04:44.38\00:04:47.42
best move of my
life no doubt about it,
00:04:47.45\00:04:49.95
and spend the best
30 years of my life.
00:04:49.98\00:04:52.75
We love having you here, Bobby.
00:04:52.79\00:04:54.19
And think of all the hats that
Bobby has worn in the years.
00:04:54.22\00:04:57.56
I can't even remember them all.
00:04:57.59\00:04:58.93
I know you've been producer
on the road and Studio A,
00:04:58.96\00:05:03.16
the Today program
or the Presents program
00:05:03.20\00:05:04.87
back in the day.
00:05:04.90\00:05:06.23
And today. Editing, what else?
00:05:06.27\00:05:08.10
What other stuff have you...
00:05:08.14\00:05:09.47
I was program
director for a while
00:05:09.50\00:05:11.07
and also worked in,
00:05:11.11\00:05:14.01
on air
promotions for a little bit.
00:05:14.04\00:05:15.94
And then I've more
recently gotten into publishing
00:05:15.98\00:05:21.52
and radio.
00:05:21.55\00:05:22.95
And so I don't know.
You know, it's amazing.
00:05:22.98\00:05:26.25
I've... You've
missed one, Bobby.
00:05:26.29\00:05:27.62
What's that?
00:05:27.66\00:05:28.99
Tour Guide. Oh.
00:05:29.02\00:05:30.36
So let me just
share this with you.
00:05:30.39\00:05:33.13
I came, my parents, of
course, like many of you know,
00:05:33.16\00:05:35.16
we watched 3ABN
since I was a little guy,
00:05:35.20\00:05:37.37
and they came to
3ABN in the mid-90s.
00:05:37.40\00:05:39.83
And Bobby Davis gave the tour.
00:05:39.87\00:05:41.60
I'll never forget it.
And he did an excellent job.
00:05:41.64\00:05:43.51
So you're also
a tour guide, too.
00:05:43.54\00:05:45.74
But thank you so very much,
00:05:45.77\00:05:47.11
because you made me so excited
00:05:47.14\00:05:48.48
as a young person coming here.
00:05:48.51\00:05:49.84
And you're
showing all the studios
00:05:49.88\00:05:51.21
and everything
what God was doing here
00:05:51.25\00:05:52.58
'cause this
building was brand new.
00:05:52.61\00:05:53.95
I think we came in '97. I
think this building was '96.
00:05:53.98\00:05:56.25
Yeah, it was brand
new. And anyway, thank you.
00:05:56.28\00:05:58.72
Good tour guide as well.
00:05:58.75\00:06:00.59
I'm glad, if it
brought you here,
00:06:00.62\00:06:03.02
then I'm really glad.
00:06:03.06\00:06:04.56
God works in
mysterious ways, sir, for sure.
00:06:04.59\00:06:07.60
Coming around the
table, more of the family,
00:06:07.63\00:06:09.23
Jason Bradley,
00:06:09.26\00:06:11.37
General Manager of
3ABN's Dare to Dream Network
00:06:11.40\00:06:14.74
and doing an amazing
job with that, too, Jason,
00:06:14.77\00:06:17.11
so glad you're here tonight.
00:06:17.14\00:06:18.51
Oh, praise the Lord.
00:06:18.54\00:06:19.87
I'm glad to be
here and excited to see
00:06:19.91\00:06:22.91
what God is
going to do this year.
00:06:22.94\00:06:24.81
Each year
presents new challenges,
00:06:24.85\00:06:27.22
and each year presents
a new opportunity for God
00:06:27.25\00:06:30.59
to do something amazing
and for us to marvel at it.
00:06:30.62\00:06:33.36
So I'm excited about it. Amen.
00:06:33.39\00:06:35.82
Good evening to your neighbor.
00:06:35.86\00:06:37.19
Good evening, neighbor.
00:06:37.23\00:06:38.79
Right next door
to the White House.
00:06:38.83\00:06:40.20
Yeah, you may say, well,
that's a strange greeting.
00:06:40.23\00:06:42.10
Well, he's my neighbor 'cause
his office is diagonal to mine.
00:06:42.13\00:06:45.27
And oftentimes,
our doors are open.
00:06:45.30\00:06:46.63
And I just, you know,
00:06:46.67\00:06:48.00
it's not like
talking over the fence,
00:06:48.04\00:06:49.37
we just talk across the hallway,
00:06:49.40\00:06:50.74
that's between our offices.
00:06:50.77\00:06:52.81
But it's great.
00:06:52.84\00:06:54.18
You know, Francine,
you're just up the stairs.
00:06:54.21\00:06:55.54
You know, as soon as
you come up the stairs,
00:06:55.58\00:06:56.91
we all have our offices
here but it's a great family.
00:06:56.95\00:06:59.55
And, you know, and again,
00:06:59.58\00:07:00.92
we just think
about the privilege,
00:07:00.95\00:07:02.85
Francine, you know, that
all of us have, you know,
00:07:02.88\00:07:04.75
you're specifically
focusing in on the young people.
00:07:04.79\00:07:08.22
And that's such an important
aspect of the Ministry of 3ABN.
00:07:08.26\00:07:13.19
We've had a burden for children
00:07:13.23\00:07:14.56
since Bobby that would
be with a Janice's Attic
00:07:14.60\00:07:16.56
or when Donna McNeilus did
Kids Time way back in the day
00:07:16.60\00:07:19.43
maybe before Janice Smith...
00:07:19.47\00:07:21.94
We did, yeah. Yes.
00:07:21.97\00:07:23.30
That was back in... 90s.
00:07:23.34\00:07:25.44
Mid 90s. Mid 90s.
00:07:25.47\00:07:27.28
Yeah, well, we didn't
have a network at that point.
00:07:27.31\00:07:29.61
So then it grew into a network.
00:07:29.64\00:07:31.71
And wow, what God is
doing, I know you hear a lot of,
00:07:31.75\00:07:36.08
can I say correspondents from
young people and their parents?
00:07:36.12\00:07:38.42
I do.
00:07:38.45\00:07:39.79
Tell us a little bit about that
00:07:39.82\00:07:41.16
'cause that's
encouraging for you, isn't it?
00:07:41.19\00:07:42.52
It is.
00:07:42.56\00:07:43.89
It's very encouraging,
because sometimes they share
00:07:43.93\00:07:45.26
about what
program they like to watch
00:07:45.29\00:07:47.46
and then they write
00:07:47.50\00:07:49.10
that they want to
give their heart to Jesus,
00:07:49.13\00:07:51.03
how they are shining for Jesus.
00:07:51.07\00:07:53.13
And that to me is rewarding
that we are making an impact.
00:07:53.17\00:07:57.67
But it's not only the children,
00:07:57.71\00:07:59.81
what's interesting is
sometimes I get letters
00:07:59.84\00:08:02.34
or emails from adults.
00:08:02.38\00:08:04.01
That's great.
00:08:04.05\00:08:05.41
And they like
seeing the young people,
00:08:05.45\00:08:07.85
and that can influence
their hearts in a different way
00:08:07.88\00:08:12.29
than adults can.
00:08:12.32\00:08:13.66
And so I see that
time and time again.
00:08:13.69\00:08:15.62
And that is really
what is so encouraging
00:08:15.66\00:08:18.29
that even though I
feel inadequate sometimes,
00:08:18.33\00:08:22.10
that God's Holy Spirit is
still influencing their hearts
00:08:22.13\00:08:25.57
long before we can.
00:08:25.60\00:08:26.94
That's true.
00:08:26.97\00:08:28.30
So in the first hour, Francine,
we talked about being at GYC.
00:08:28.34\00:08:31.47
And you and your
husband, Jason, who's our CFO,
00:08:31.51\00:08:33.68
here at 3ABN
doing an incredible job.
00:08:33.71\00:08:35.34
And Amanda.
Daughter Amanda is here too.
00:08:35.38\00:08:38.11
But you know, GYC is for a
Generation Youth for Christ.
00:08:38.15\00:08:41.62
Yes, we're talking about youth,
00:08:41.65\00:08:42.98
but they're actually
some younger children
00:08:43.02\00:08:44.35
that are attending
there with their parents too.
00:08:44.39\00:08:45.72
And to see them excited
right about the network,
00:08:45.75\00:08:47.99
that's pretty neat, isn't it?
00:08:48.02\00:08:49.36
It is fun, because you'll
have these three year old girls,
00:08:49.39\00:08:51.89
and they come up to
you and give you a hug
00:08:51.93\00:08:53.73
or something like that.
00:08:53.76\00:08:55.10
And they want a
little picture or something.
00:08:55.13\00:08:56.67
But you know, it's the influence
00:08:56.70\00:08:58.90
of showing who Jesus is.
00:08:58.93\00:09:00.87
And we're imperfect,
00:09:00.90\00:09:02.74
but if we can only reflect
the life of Jesus a little bit,
00:09:02.77\00:09:06.51
that's, that makes
all the difference.
00:09:06.54\00:09:08.41
So, yes, it's very
wonderful to see these kids
00:09:08.44\00:09:12.25
that want to come
in to future programs,
00:09:12.28\00:09:14.08
and we'll talk about
it a little bit later.
00:09:14.12\00:09:15.68
But we have some
more things coming.
00:09:15.72\00:09:18.35
Well, I think we
should, go ahead.
00:09:18.39\00:09:19.72
I was just going to
say speaking of Jesus,
00:09:19.75\00:09:21.39
and representing Him is really
the theme of your new program,
00:09:21.42\00:09:24.79
Jesus My Light,
which launches tomorrow.
00:09:24.83\00:09:30.37
It does.
00:09:30.40\00:09:31.73
Yes, tomorrow Friday
it launches tomorrow.
00:09:31.77\00:09:35.30
So we're excited
about this, long coming.
00:09:35.34\00:09:37.11
Praise the Lord. Kids Network.
00:09:37.14\00:09:38.47
So talk to us
about Jesus My Light?
00:09:38.51\00:09:40.38
Well, I am so excited
00:09:40.41\00:09:41.81
because this has been
some time in production.
00:09:41.84\00:09:44.81
And we wanted to focus on Jesus
00:09:44.85\00:09:46.92
because we know in John 8:12,
00:09:46.95\00:09:50.19
that Jesus talks
about Him being the light,
00:09:50.22\00:09:52.62
for I am the light of the world.
00:09:52.65\00:09:54.26
He who follows me
shall not walk in darkness,
00:09:54.29\00:09:56.62
but have the light of life.
00:09:56.66\00:09:59.46
And then we talk
about a little bit
00:09:59.49\00:10:02.53
about Ellen G. White,
and Ellen G. White says
00:10:02.56\00:10:05.63
just like Jesus
would be the sun,
00:10:05.67\00:10:08.30
we can be like the moon
and reflect His character.
00:10:08.34\00:10:10.94
And so that is the purpose
that I wanted to focus on
00:10:10.97\00:10:15.08
is everything around Jesus.
00:10:15.11\00:10:16.58
But what is really
nice is that we have Tim,
00:10:16.61\00:10:20.62
our favorite musician.
00:10:20.65\00:10:23.25
Super talented.
And he is so talented.
00:10:23.28\00:10:26.22
And he wrote a beautiful
song that's very catchy.
00:10:26.25\00:10:30.03
You can't miss it.
00:10:30.06\00:10:31.39
And maybe we can highlight
that song here in a little bit.
00:10:31.43\00:10:34.16
I don't know if
this is a good time.
00:10:34.20\00:10:35.53
Yeah. Should we go to that roll?
00:10:35.56\00:10:36.90
I would like to. What
are we getting ready to see?
00:10:36.93\00:10:38.33
So we are going to see
00:10:38.37\00:10:39.70
just the chorus
part of Jesus My Light,
00:10:39.73\00:10:42.37
there's a lot more verses to it.
00:10:42.40\00:10:44.61
And it has something
when my heart begins to fear,
00:10:44.64\00:10:46.98
He is my light. I
can smile for He is near.
00:10:47.01\00:10:49.98
As you know, many
songs are fit to poems.
00:10:50.01\00:10:53.42
And so Tim
helped, we talked about
00:10:53.45\00:10:55.95
what we could include,
but he did a beautiful job.
00:10:55.98\00:10:58.82
When I'm feeling blue and
feeling sad, He is my light.
00:10:58.85\00:11:02.29
He reminds me I can be glad.
00:11:02.32\00:11:03.83
And then it goes to the
theme song, He is my light.
00:11:03.86\00:11:06.03
Yes, Jesus is my
light. Praise the Lord.
00:11:06.06\00:11:08.40
Amen.
00:11:08.43\00:11:09.76
So, and we want every
child to see the light of Jesus.
00:11:09.80\00:11:11.73
Amen. So this is just,
go ahead, a snippet, right?
00:11:11.77\00:11:14.14
Yes.
00:11:14.17\00:11:15.50
So that theme
song then the timbrel
00:11:15.54\00:11:16.87
is used for your open music.
00:11:16.91\00:11:18.24
Is that right
for Jesus my light?
00:11:18.27\00:11:19.61
It is. It is.
00:11:19.64\00:11:20.98
And you'll just
see a little glimpse
00:11:21.01\00:11:22.34
of the chorus part
00:11:22.38\00:11:23.71
so you won't get the whole song,
00:11:23.75\00:11:25.08
and the whole song
is a beautiful song
00:11:25.11\00:11:26.65
that very catchy.
00:11:26.68\00:11:28.02
All right, so let's go
to that roll right now.
00:11:28.05\00:11:32.19
Jesus my light
00:11:32.22\00:11:34.26
There's Jesus my light
00:11:34.29\00:11:36.46
And here is the darkness
00:11:36.49\00:11:38.86
And He is your light
00:11:38.89\00:11:41.16
Wherever He lives
00:11:41.20\00:11:42.93
He leaves more light bright
00:11:42.96\00:11:45.87
I'll shine for Jesus
00:11:45.90\00:11:48.27
Jesus my light
00:11:48.30\00:11:51.37
Are you excited about
Jesus? We hope you are.
00:11:51.41\00:11:55.44
We are thrilled to
present Jesus My Life,
00:11:55.48\00:11:57.58
a brand new series
00:11:57.61\00:11:58.95
that will help kids
examine the character of Jesus,
00:11:58.98\00:12:02.22
and how we too can
reflect His character.
00:12:02.25\00:12:05.45
Join me, Aunt Francine
and the kids in the tree house
00:12:05.49\00:12:09.12
as we discover the life of Jesus
00:12:09.16\00:12:11.16
and His mission
to save each of us.
00:12:11.19\00:12:13.63
We will start our adventure
with a dedication of Jesus
00:12:13.66\00:12:16.67
and journey through
His childhood experiences
00:12:16.70\00:12:19.43
while we uncovered the
beginning of His ministry.
00:12:19.47\00:12:22.94
There's so much we
can learn about Jesus,
00:12:22.97\00:12:25.07
will you let Him be
the light of your life?
00:12:25.11\00:12:28.01
Be sure to join us
00:12:28.04\00:12:29.38
and tell your friends
about our friend, Jesus.
00:12:29.41\00:12:34.02
Amen. I love that.
00:12:34.05\00:12:36.48
And I'm super excited
00:12:36.52\00:12:37.99
about the launch of
the program tomorrow.
00:12:38.02\00:12:39.45
Me too.
00:12:39.49\00:12:40.82
I just want to say first of all,
00:12:40.86\00:12:42.19
Tim did a great
job with that open,
00:12:42.22\00:12:44.13
with the music, I love
that, it's very catchy.
00:12:44.16\00:12:47.66
But the program
itself, you know,
00:12:47.70\00:12:49.60
you have the open and then
it leads into that program.
00:12:49.63\00:12:51.77
But you have a lot
of wonderful components
00:12:51.80\00:12:54.37
with the Bible stories
and talking about Jesus
00:12:54.40\00:12:58.07
and our nature, it's incredible.
00:12:58.11\00:12:59.71
Yes. Well, I
don't know about you.
00:12:59.74\00:13:02.18
But as a child, I
always wanted a tree house.
00:13:02.21\00:13:06.15
And kids love tree house,
00:13:06.18\00:13:07.78
because that is
kind of their realm,
00:13:07.82\00:13:09.75
they can decorate it
the way they want to.
00:13:09.78\00:13:12.25
And so, we wanted to
have it in the tree house
00:13:12.29\00:13:15.12
where they could
learn about Jesus
00:13:15.16\00:13:16.56
and have it be totally
their place to learn about Him.
00:13:16.59\00:13:21.46
And so we have
it in the tree house
00:13:21.50\00:13:24.47
hoping that maybe later on,
00:13:24.50\00:13:26.33
they can go for a
walk, and we have crafts
00:13:26.37\00:13:28.64
and different
components like that.
00:13:28.67\00:13:30.14
But yes, and these
Bible scenes, really,
00:13:30.17\00:13:33.48
we're trying to
capture the character of Jesus.
00:13:33.51\00:13:35.98
Now that's hard to do,
00:13:36.01\00:13:37.35
because we don't have
a lot written about Jesus
00:13:37.38\00:13:40.82
as a small boy, for example.
00:13:40.85\00:13:42.72
And yet, His character
00:13:42.75\00:13:45.25
is what we want
the kids to reflect.
00:13:45.29\00:13:46.89
So how do you
capture that and see the...
00:13:46.92\00:13:48.99
That's why we have
that Bible scene component,
00:13:49.02\00:13:51.79
so that we can see
00:13:51.83\00:13:53.16
how Jesus handled
different situations,
00:13:53.19\00:13:55.86
maybe He didn't get
upset in the carpenter shop,
00:13:55.90\00:13:57.80
for example, or how
He might have handled
00:13:57.83\00:14:01.37
helping other people
and had that compassion.
00:14:01.40\00:14:03.71
So that's what we
wanted to highlight in.
00:14:03.74\00:14:06.17
I love the theme. I
mean, it's just great.
00:14:06.21\00:14:07.94
I mean, Jesus My
Life, it's fantastic.
00:14:07.98\00:14:09.94
And yeah, I mean, all of us
00:14:09.98\00:14:11.41
like we're talking
about the song originally.
00:14:11.45\00:14:13.55
You know, Jesus loves me.
00:14:13.58\00:14:14.92
Jesus should be the theme
of everything right that we do.
00:14:14.95\00:14:17.12
So thank you for, I
mean, doing a whole program,
00:14:17.15\00:14:19.15
a whole series on this...
00:14:19.19\00:14:20.52
It's been fun.
It's been real fun.
00:14:20.56\00:14:22.52
Jason, I see you
got something looks like
00:14:22.56\00:14:24.09
you want to share there.
00:14:24.13\00:14:25.46
Yeah.
00:14:25.49\00:14:26.83
You know, Francine,
you mentioned earlier,
00:14:26.86\00:14:28.20
you even get letters and emails
from parents and everything.
00:14:28.23\00:14:30.77
I got a text
message from a parent
00:14:30.80\00:14:33.17
that said the
3ABN Kids is amazing.
00:14:33.20\00:14:36.60
MY KIDS LOVE IT, all caps,
and I love the science program.
00:14:36.64\00:14:42.34
It couldn't remember the name,
00:14:42.38\00:14:43.71
but he expressed different parts
00:14:43.75\00:14:45.65
of the world and
all of that stuff.
00:14:45.68\00:14:47.25
So yeah, people
love the Kids Network,
00:14:47.28\00:14:50.32
that's doing amazing thing.
00:14:50.35\00:14:51.89
And there's more
coming with the Kids Express
00:14:51.92\00:14:53.86
and more programs that
are coming in the future.
00:14:53.89\00:14:55.99
So we're excited about that.
00:14:56.02\00:14:58.03
But one thing that I
want to highlight too
00:14:58.06\00:15:00.43
is that with the
programming of Jesus My Light,
00:15:00.46\00:15:04.43
we wanted kids to be
able to be reinforced,
00:15:04.47\00:15:07.64
I guess is what
I'm trying to say
00:15:07.67\00:15:09.00
to be able to
dive into the Bible,
00:15:09.04\00:15:11.44
because that is our source.
00:15:11.47\00:15:13.27
And whatever age, we try
to make it age appropriate,
00:15:13.31\00:15:17.65
but of course three year olds
would have a difficult time.
00:15:17.68\00:15:20.52
But we have many Bible
studies that can go with that.
00:15:20.55\00:15:24.32
And so this is the book
00:15:24.35\00:15:25.92
where we have not
only coloring books,
00:15:25.95\00:15:27.86
but also word
searches, or dot to dot,
00:15:27.89\00:15:32.03
and sometimes
we even have places
00:15:32.06\00:15:33.96
where you can look
for a little ginger
00:15:34.00\00:15:35.33
like in this one.
00:15:35.36\00:15:36.70
Oh, fun. I love this.
00:15:36.73\00:15:38.50
May I see one of those?
00:15:38.53\00:15:39.87
Okay, so you just
mentioned this at the end.
00:15:39.90\00:15:41.70
This is a great
activity book, coloring book.
00:15:41.74\00:15:44.17
But you said
inside, there's actually...
00:15:44.21\00:15:47.51
Where's ginger?
Which is, I found one.
00:15:47.54\00:15:51.21
Oh, you did.
00:15:51.25\00:15:52.58
'Cause you've been
here multiple times.
00:15:52.61\00:15:53.95
She is and then kids
could email me and tell me
00:15:53.98\00:15:56.05
how many times they found her.
00:15:56.08\00:15:57.42
Now that's fun.
This is very nice. Wow.
00:15:57.45\00:15:59.49
You want to see
them, Bobby, Jason sorry,
00:15:59.52\00:16:00.96
we kind of
hogged them over here.
00:16:00.99\00:16:02.59
So again, this goes along then
with Jesus My Light program.
00:16:02.62\00:16:06.66
And this is not the only one,
we're hoping to do a few more.
00:16:06.70\00:16:09.43
So we have another date,
00:16:09.46\00:16:11.23
doing the Bible scenes in
April 11 through the 14th.
00:16:11.27\00:16:14.90
And then we hope to
do the tree house aspect
00:16:14.94\00:16:17.14
of it in June,
00:16:17.17\00:16:18.51
the 20th started
through the 23rd.
00:16:18.54\00:16:21.21
So we're excited,
00:16:21.24\00:16:23.31
and hopefully we'll
come up with another book.
00:16:23.35\00:16:24.91
Amen. I love that.
00:16:24.95\00:16:27.92
I love the thought of the book
correlating with the program
00:16:27.95\00:16:31.89
and putting that
together and then teaching,
00:16:31.92\00:16:34.06
you know, and reinforcing,
00:16:34.09\00:16:35.56
I like the word you
used, reinforcing that.
00:16:35.59\00:16:37.53
So you've done an amazing
job putting this together.
00:16:37.56\00:16:39.96
We're super
excited about the launch
00:16:40.00\00:16:41.73
tomorrow on Kids Network.
00:16:41.76\00:16:43.77
And we're going to
air it on parent network
00:16:43.80\00:16:45.20
starting in March.
00:16:45.23\00:16:46.70
But when does it air, this
is putting you on the spot.
00:16:46.74\00:16:48.60
If you don't know the times,
00:16:48.64\00:16:49.97
where can they go
to check that out?
00:16:50.01\00:16:51.34
They can check it
out at 3abnkids.tv
00:16:51.37\00:16:54.61
on their website there.
00:16:54.64\00:16:56.28
But I know that the
first one is at 7:45,
00:16:56.31\00:16:58.88
Friday evening.
00:16:58.91\00:17:00.25
Yay. Wow, wait.
00:17:00.28\00:17:01.62
That's tomorrow
evening, and they can watch it
00:17:01.65\00:17:03.85
then on Kids
Network to start with,
00:17:03.89\00:17:05.59
then you said parent will
follow along little later.
00:17:05.62\00:17:07.82
Follow in a couple
months or five, six weeks here.
00:17:07.86\00:17:10.19
Yep. Yeah.
00:17:10.23\00:17:11.56
Yeah. Fantastic.
00:17:11.59\00:17:12.93
Oh, yeah. No,
it's always exciting.
00:17:12.96\00:17:14.46
You know, we again talked about,
00:17:14.50\00:17:15.83
you know, the
hearing from the kids.
00:17:15.86\00:17:17.20
And, of course,
kids are very important
00:17:17.23\00:17:18.57
because they're the generations
that are following us, right?
00:17:18.60\00:17:20.84
They'll be in
leadership before we know it.
00:17:20.87\00:17:22.74
And to raise them
in the way of the Lord,
00:17:22.77\00:17:25.11
that's just so important.
00:17:25.14\00:17:27.64
Thank you so much for
the work that you're doing.
00:17:27.68\00:17:29.41
I know you have so
few more things going on
00:17:29.44\00:17:30.95
but we're going to go to you,
00:17:30.98\00:17:32.31
Bobby Davis,
again, like you mentioned,
00:17:32.35\00:17:33.98
you've been here 30 years,
00:17:34.02\00:17:35.88
which is quite a while
'cause you think about 3ABN
00:17:35.92\00:17:38.82
being in existence for 37 years.
00:17:38.85\00:17:41.16
So you came not
long after 3ABN began.
00:17:41.19\00:17:45.46
But you've got some
magazines in front of you,
00:17:45.49\00:17:46.90
you got a number of
things to share with us.
00:17:46.93\00:17:49.00
Sure. What's going on?
00:17:49.03\00:17:50.53
Well, one of the things
00:17:50.57\00:17:52.83
that I've really been
excited about now for,
00:17:52.87\00:17:55.90
let's see, since 2004,
is the idea of a magazine,
00:17:55.94\00:17:59.71
which I wish I
could take credit for,
00:17:59.74\00:18:01.24
but it had
nothing to do with me.
00:18:01.28\00:18:03.78
At the time, I was
producing the Today program,
00:18:03.81\00:18:06.82
I was producing Grandma's House,
00:18:06.85\00:18:08.92
which is a kids' program
00:18:08.95\00:18:10.29
that still runs on
some of the networks.
00:18:10.32\00:18:13.25
And I was getting
worn out from traveling
00:18:13.29\00:18:18.56
to be quite honest.
00:18:18.59\00:18:19.93
And I remember
saying to the Lord,
00:18:19.96\00:18:22.33
"You know, Lord, if
there's anything else
00:18:22.36\00:18:24.77
you want me to do,
please let me know.
00:18:24.80\00:18:26.60
Because, you know, this
is just wearing me down."
00:18:26.63\00:18:29.70
And I'm not complaining
00:18:29.74\00:18:32.57
because it was a
wonderful career.
00:18:32.61\00:18:34.31
It really was, but I
was ready for a change.
00:18:34.34\00:18:37.15
And, you know, the Lord knew
something that I didn't know.
00:18:37.18\00:18:40.85
And that was that He
wanted me in publishing.
00:18:40.88\00:18:43.39
And the next thing I
know, shortly after that,
00:18:43.42\00:18:46.69
or at that time,
somebody walked into my office
00:18:46.72\00:18:50.33
and handed me the four
page newsletter and said,
00:18:50.36\00:18:52.99
"Bobby, we really need
you to take this newsletter."
00:18:53.03\00:18:56.73
And I thought, "Oh, boy."
00:18:56.77\00:19:00.67
And I suppose
confession is hard on the soul
00:19:00.70\00:19:04.11
and good for the reputation.
00:19:04.14\00:19:06.24
I'm going to just
confess to you guys,
00:19:06.27\00:19:08.28
I wasn't real
happy about that. Wow.
00:19:08.31\00:19:10.51
Because I... Did it seem scary?
00:19:10.55\00:19:13.28
It was, no, it just
felt like it was way outside
00:19:13.31\00:19:17.09
of what I was used to doing
00:19:17.12\00:19:18.89
and it was not a
switch in careers.
00:19:18.92\00:19:23.16
It was in addition
to what I was doing,
00:19:23.19\00:19:24.93
and I felt like,
"Okay, this is a lot more,"
00:19:24.96\00:19:29.43
but I thought, "Okay,
I'm going to do this."
00:19:29.46\00:19:31.60
And I didn't complain,
not publicly, but honestly,
00:19:31.63\00:19:35.54
I did grumble in my spirit.
00:19:35.57\00:19:37.84
And there were a few
people that I talked to,
00:19:37.87\00:19:40.34
that I shouldn't
have grumbled about,
00:19:40.38\00:19:42.51
and the Lord convicted me.
00:19:42.54\00:19:45.21
I read an Ellen White quote,
actually, that in the book,
00:19:45.25\00:19:50.42
Christ's Object Lessons
00:19:50.45\00:19:51.89
and she was talking about
the parable of the talents.
00:19:51.92\00:19:55.89
And I'm paraphrasing badly here
00:19:55.92\00:19:58.19
but towards the
end of the chapter,
00:19:58.23\00:19:59.93
she talks about the
man who had one talent
00:19:59.96\00:20:03.47
and then gave it
back or buried it
00:20:03.50\00:20:05.23
and then gave it back.
00:20:05.27\00:20:06.94
And he's called
the wicked servant.
00:20:06.97\00:20:09.30
And he accused the
master of being a hard master.
00:20:09.34\00:20:13.34
And she says
that Master is Jesus,
00:20:13.38\00:20:15.81
He gave everything to us.
00:20:15.84\00:20:18.18
And to be accused
of being a harsh Master
00:20:18.21\00:20:22.55
is like a slap in
the face of Christ.
00:20:22.58\00:20:25.55
And she said, in essence,
00:20:25.59\00:20:28.02
and how I
understood it at the time,
00:20:28.06\00:20:29.76
the quote is a little different.
00:20:29.79\00:20:31.56
But in essence, the
point was, make no mistake,
00:20:31.59\00:20:34.76
even if you don't
lose your eternal life.
00:20:34.80\00:20:38.27
If you are one of those
people that buried your talents,
00:20:38.30\00:20:41.04
even if you make it to heaven,
00:20:41.07\00:20:42.94
you're going to
spend the rest of eternity
00:20:42.97\00:20:45.21
knowing you could have
done more for your Master
00:20:45.24\00:20:47.68
and you chose not to.
00:20:47.71\00:20:50.18
And that was a
stake to my heart.
00:20:50.21\00:20:52.31
At that point, I just locked
my door and fell to my knees.
00:20:52.35\00:20:57.65
And I wept, I'll be
honest with you, I cried.
00:20:57.69\00:21:00.16
And I asked the
Lord for forgiveness.
00:21:00.19\00:21:02.82
And I promised Him that
00:21:02.86\00:21:04.39
if that's what
He wanted me to do,
00:21:04.43\00:21:05.99
then I was happy to do it.
00:21:06.03\00:21:07.73
And I got up a
different man, a changed man.
00:21:07.76\00:21:10.97
And within a few weeks,
00:21:11.00\00:21:14.47
somebody at the call
center mentioned to me
00:21:14.50\00:21:18.47
that he thought that
we should start combining
00:21:18.51\00:21:21.04
our program schedule,
00:21:21.08\00:21:22.41
which was a separate
mailing with our newsletter.
00:21:22.44\00:21:26.35
He says, "Why don't
you make a little magazine
00:21:26.38\00:21:28.22
or something out of it."
00:21:28.25\00:21:29.58
And I thought,
"That's different."
00:21:29.62\00:21:32.22
And so I went upstairs
and talked to Michael Pruitt,
00:21:32.25\00:21:35.59
who worked in
publishing at the time.
00:21:35.62\00:21:37.86
And he says, "Well, I
used to work on a magazine
00:21:37.89\00:21:40.33
called Young Disciples magazine.
00:21:40.36\00:21:41.96
And I said, "So you
know how to do this?
00:21:42.00\00:21:43.63
He goes, "Well, yeah."
00:21:43.67\00:21:45.23
And so the two
of us got together.
00:21:45.27\00:21:47.04
And I don't know,
at some point in there,
00:21:47.07\00:21:49.64
I really got excited about it.
00:21:49.67\00:21:51.17
And we talked to Danny about it.
00:21:51.21\00:21:53.24
And he said, "Let's do it."
00:21:53.27\00:21:55.58
And then it was like, "Oh, oh,
I don't know how to do this."
00:21:55.61\00:21:59.15
And, you know, the
Lord started blessing.
00:21:59.18\00:22:02.02
And what started off
as a small magazine grew
00:22:02.05\00:22:05.49
very large very quickly,
00:22:05.52\00:22:06.99
and our
subscription rate went sky high.
00:22:07.02\00:22:09.96
And that was 2004.
00:22:09.99\00:22:14.03
That means it was 18 years ago.
00:22:14.06\00:22:16.46
Is that right? Yeah.
00:22:16.50\00:22:17.83
And it's been going ever since.
00:22:17.87\00:22:19.63
At one point, we
downsized to a newsletter
00:22:19.67\00:22:22.17
for a little
bit for about a year
00:22:22.20\00:22:24.01
and then it went right
back to the magazine format.
00:22:24.04\00:22:26.71
And I've just, I've had a ball.
00:22:26.74\00:22:29.54
You know, a few years later,
I was writing in my taxes,
00:22:29.58\00:22:35.08
what my job description
was, and I wrote TV producer,
00:22:35.12\00:22:38.55
and I stopped, and I said,
00:22:38.59\00:22:40.89
"I don't produce
much television anymore.
00:22:40.92\00:22:43.49
You know, my primary job
now is a magazine editor."
00:22:43.53\00:22:49.26
And it dawned on me
that for several years,
00:22:49.30\00:22:52.87
you know, I had not
seen that transition happen.
00:22:52.90\00:22:56.40
But because the
magazine grew so quickly
00:22:56.44\00:22:58.54
and needed so much more time,
00:22:58.57\00:23:00.48
I was transitioned
out of all that traveling,
00:23:00.51\00:23:03.65
I still produce the Today
program and things like that.
00:23:03.68\00:23:06.18
But eventually,
all of that live events
00:23:06.21\00:23:09.38
and those kinds of things.
00:23:09.42\00:23:11.15
I was pretty much
taken out of that,
00:23:11.19\00:23:13.96
that traveling
that was wearing me down
00:23:13.99\00:23:15.86
and given something
else to do for the Lord.
00:23:15.89\00:23:18.49
And I was commenting
to somebody the other day,
00:23:18.53\00:23:21.56
you know, most people are lucky
to be able to say are blessed,
00:23:21.60\00:23:24.97
I don't believe in luck,
00:23:25.00\00:23:26.47
or are blessed to be able to say
00:23:26.50\00:23:27.87
they've had one
career that they truly loved.
00:23:27.90\00:23:31.17
And I've had two and a half,
00:23:31.21\00:23:33.74
because now I
got into radio too.
00:23:33.78\00:23:35.68
But anyway, it's
interesting to me
00:23:35.71\00:23:38.68
that the Lord knows how to bless
00:23:38.71\00:23:42.62
whatever talent we have.
00:23:42.65\00:23:44.75
And I was just speaking
with a young man last night
00:23:44.79\00:23:47.89
who has many, many talents.
00:23:47.92\00:23:50.46
And he doesn't know
which one of them to choose.
00:23:50.49\00:23:53.60
And he's
thinking as a human being
00:23:53.63\00:23:56.63
to develop the talents that
he thinks he needs to develop.
00:23:56.67\00:24:01.10
And while that's good
to develop our talents,
00:24:01.14\00:24:03.61
he's doing it for
many of the wrong reasons.
00:24:03.64\00:24:05.71
And I said, you know,
you might want to ask God,
00:24:05.74\00:24:07.81
what He wants you to do.
00:24:07.84\00:24:09.88
Because when you
offer yourself to Him,
00:24:09.91\00:24:12.01
and you allow Him to use
whatever talents you have,
00:24:12.05\00:24:15.78
He will do
nothing but multiply them.
00:24:15.82\00:24:18.29
And He's the one that
multiplies them not me,
00:24:18.32\00:24:20.39
believe me.
00:24:20.42\00:24:21.76
So, Bobby, we are
gaining new viewers,
00:24:21.79\00:24:24.63
listeners all the time.
00:24:24.66\00:24:26.09
So this may be the first
time that they're even hearing
00:24:26.13\00:24:28.16
about 3ABN World Magazine.
00:24:28.20\00:24:30.70
So tell us what's
inside of this magazine
00:24:30.73\00:24:33.30
that you're referring to.
00:24:33.34\00:24:34.67
So they and then how can
they actually get one of these?
00:24:34.70\00:24:36.71
Okay.
00:24:36.74\00:24:38.21
Each of these
magazines come out every month.
00:24:38.24\00:24:41.24
And for one thing, they
have a President's letter.
00:24:41.28\00:24:45.78
That's from you, Greg,
00:24:45.81\00:24:47.15
and Greg has been sharing
all kinds of personal stories,
00:24:47.18\00:24:52.05
which I think is really neat
00:24:52.09\00:24:54.19
because he also
shares a lot of pictures.
00:24:54.22\00:24:57.63
We've seen pictures of
Greg when he was a little boy
00:24:57.66\00:25:00.30
playing a
trumpet and many others.
00:25:00.33\00:25:02.86
But it's a
personalized letter from Greg
00:25:02.90\00:25:05.40
to each of our viewers.
00:25:05.43\00:25:06.84
Also, we have a
news and events article,
00:25:06.87\00:25:10.31
which usually involves either,
00:25:10.34\00:25:13.68
well, it's
usually our cover story,
00:25:13.71\00:25:15.34
and in this case,
00:25:15.38\00:25:17.38
it was actually this man
sitting right next to me.
00:25:17.41\00:25:19.88
But, you know,
00:25:19.91\00:25:21.25
our anniversary
edition came out last November,
00:25:21.28\00:25:23.95
with Greg and
Jill and Danny on it.
00:25:23.99\00:25:26.55
And it talks about, you know,
00:25:26.59\00:25:29.42
what has happened in
the last year, and also,
00:25:29.46\00:25:32.33
what is coming,
that we see coming.
00:25:32.36\00:25:35.40
There's a special feature
that can either be a testimony
00:25:35.43\00:25:38.63
of one of our
employees or somebody
00:25:38.67\00:25:42.60
that's also a department
sometimes is featured.
00:25:42.64\00:25:47.31
In this particular edition,
it was publishing department,
00:25:47.34\00:25:50.75
and Adam Dean and Janelle,
00:25:50.78\00:25:54.58
and Svetlana and several others
00:25:54.62\00:25:57.55
that work with us in publishing.
00:25:57.59\00:25:59.92
Then there's a
section in the middle
00:25:59.95\00:26:02.19
that is a program schedule.
00:26:02.22\00:26:04.79
And this is for
our parent network.
00:26:04.83\00:26:07.50
And it gives the different times
00:26:07.53\00:26:10.57
for all the different programs.
00:26:10.60\00:26:12.47
We have mentioned
some times of new products
00:26:12.50\00:26:16.57
that people can get
through our call center,
00:26:16.60\00:26:18.41
and also new
programs that are coming up.
00:26:18.44\00:26:21.54
And then there's always a
section called Change Lives,
00:26:21.58\00:26:25.75
which is letters from viewers
and listeners and readers.
00:26:25.78\00:26:30.45
Isn't that, I love this section.
00:26:30.49\00:26:32.02
Yeah, that's
powerful. It's really powerful.
00:26:32.05\00:26:33.72
You know they did a study
years ago about which parts
00:26:33.76\00:26:36.59
of a magazine or
newsletter people look at.
00:26:36.62\00:26:39.39
And the letters are
right after the front cover,
00:26:39.43\00:26:42.73
everybody turns to letters
00:26:42.76\00:26:44.10
'cause they
really enjoy the letters.
00:26:44.13\00:26:46.10
Then we have a
section called How can I Help?
00:26:46.13\00:26:49.30
In the back, and
these are projects
00:26:49.34\00:26:52.71
that we can get
behind and really donate
00:26:52.74\00:26:55.58
to specifically in most cases.
00:26:55.61\00:26:58.48
And then we have either a recipe
00:26:58.51\00:27:02.12
from one of our
3ABN Today program cooks,
00:27:02.15\00:27:06.15
or also now this year we
Rise Rafferty's Health Help,
00:27:06.19\00:27:11.59
which is a tongue twister
here for me, Health Help.
00:27:11.63\00:27:15.13
And she has been
giving us some tremendous...
00:27:15.16\00:27:18.80
Yeah, that's great.
Insights into health.
00:27:18.83\00:27:21.44
It's a full magazine for sure.
00:27:21.47\00:27:23.91
What I like about this too,
00:27:23.94\00:27:25.57
is that sometimes I
have international people
00:27:25.61\00:27:28.04
calling and wanting
to get the World Magazine
00:27:28.08\00:27:30.48
and it's a little
difficult for them.
00:27:30.51\00:27:31.85
But even if you can't,
00:27:31.88\00:27:34.02
because by the
time we mail it to you,
00:27:34.05\00:27:35.95
it might not come in time.
00:27:35.98\00:27:37.49
But I like the aspect
that we can get it online.
00:27:37.52\00:27:39.99
So download it online.
00:27:40.02\00:27:41.96
And so that is an
easy access. It is.
00:27:41.99\00:27:45.03
I like how we can,
anybody can have access to it.
00:27:45.06\00:27:48.33
That's right.
00:27:48.36\00:27:49.70
Bobby does an incredible
job as Managing Editor
00:27:49.73\00:27:52.37
of the World Magazine.
00:27:52.40\00:27:54.04
Yeah, you're amazing,
Bobby, an amazing writer,
00:27:54.07\00:27:56.71
you're creative,
00:27:56.74\00:27:58.17
sometimes other
people sometimes write things
00:27:58.21\00:28:00.41
and then you would
edit that and massage it
00:28:00.44\00:28:02.48
and put it together.
00:28:02.51\00:28:03.85
You do an amazing job with it.
00:28:03.88\00:28:05.21
I just wanted to
mention this real quickly.
00:28:05.25\00:28:07.52
You mentioned the
How can I Help page
00:28:07.55\00:28:09.45
and you think, okay, well,
we just put those needs out.
00:28:09.48\00:28:11.79
But you at home read
that, and you respond.
00:28:11.82\00:28:14.82
This is the December
issue of the World Magazine.
00:28:14.86\00:28:17.73
And How can I Help on that issue
00:28:17.76\00:28:19.69
was the 3ABN Russia studio needs
00:28:19.73\00:28:22.56
and how we had that
great need for an LED wall?
00:28:22.60\00:28:25.03
Well, one of our viewers
00:28:25.07\00:28:26.47
and listeners and
readers read this magazine
00:28:26.50\00:28:31.11
and gave us a call
and said I want to donate
00:28:31.14\00:28:33.64
the funds for that LED wall,
00:28:33.68\00:28:37.05
and the Lord blessed
tremendously because of that.
00:28:37.08\00:28:40.32
So I love that.
What an incredible thing.
00:28:40.35\00:28:43.05
Jason, I'm just looking
here at the recipe aspect.
00:28:43.08\00:28:45.22
Mr. Foodie. I was
excited about that.
00:28:45.25\00:28:47.26
So, you know, right
here it says saut,ed cabbage
00:28:47.29\00:28:49.96
and carrots with coconut.
00:28:49.99\00:28:51.33
What is, what recipe
do you have in your...
00:28:51.36\00:28:53.40
Butternut squash stuffing. Wow.
00:28:53.43\00:28:55.66
Okay, Bobby, what's your recipe?
00:28:55.70\00:28:57.67
This one says topsoil.
00:28:57.70\00:28:59.03
I don't know. Okay, topsoil.
00:28:59.07\00:29:00.40
I don't think I
want to eat that.
00:29:00.44\00:29:02.80
Creamy celery soup.
00:29:02.84\00:29:04.41
Yeah, that sounded pretty good.
00:29:04.44\00:29:07.71
Yes, it is.
00:29:07.74\00:29:09.08
But as, you know,
it's great food for the,
00:29:09.11\00:29:10.95
for us physically, but
also great food for the soul.
00:29:10.98\00:29:13.42
And so you can get this,
00:29:13.45\00:29:14.78
we actually will send
it to you in the mail...
00:29:14.82\00:29:16.99
It's free. If
you'd like to receive it.
00:29:17.02\00:29:18.35
That's right.
00:29:18.39\00:29:19.72
It comes out monthly,
it has a program schedule.
00:29:19.75\00:29:21.09
We will send it to you
internationally as well.
00:29:21.12\00:29:22.62
Like Francine said,
though, it is down loadable.
00:29:22.66\00:29:24.99
You can go to our website,
3abn.tv and it's right there.
00:29:25.03\00:29:28.00
You'll see each version,
00:29:28.03\00:29:29.60
I think we go back
several issues as well.
00:29:29.63\00:29:31.47
Several years.
Yes, several years.
00:29:31.50\00:29:33.07
So a great magazine, great
way to keep in contact with us
00:29:33.10\00:29:36.24
and for us to feel a little
bit more in touch with you.
00:29:36.27\00:29:37.67
So feel free to call us,
write us and we'll gladly send
00:29:37.71\00:29:40.51
that to you complimentary.
00:29:40.54\00:29:41.88
Amen.
00:29:41.91\00:29:43.24
Speaking of
writing, just before we move
00:29:43.28\00:29:44.61
over to Jason here.
00:29:44.65\00:29:45.98
I want to talk
about the blog a moment.
00:29:46.01\00:29:47.35
This is something that we
launched in 2021 last year.
00:29:47.38\00:29:51.39
We decided that we
need another avenue
00:29:51.42\00:29:54.96
to help spreading the gospel.
00:29:54.99\00:29:56.32
You know, there's
television, there's radio,
00:29:56.36\00:29:58.69
there's the printed page,
00:29:58.73\00:30:00.20
and there's
also the written word
00:30:00.23\00:30:02.06
that people like to go
online to connect with a blog,
00:30:02.10\00:30:05.53
to connect with people that way,
00:30:05.57\00:30:07.20
and we have a 3ABN blog
00:30:07.24\00:30:08.67
with several of our 3ABN
people here who write it.
00:30:08.70\00:30:11.64
So talk to us about that?
00:30:11.67\00:30:13.01
Well, it's called 3ABN Kindling.
00:30:13.04\00:30:17.25
And that's the
website as well 3abnkindling,
00:30:17.28\00:30:20.62
I believe .org or .tv
00:30:20.65\00:30:22.78
And it has monthly articles
00:30:22.82\00:30:27.72
from four or
five different people,
00:30:27.76\00:30:30.26
some months have
five different Mondays,
00:30:30.29\00:30:32.89
it comes out as an email
to those who sign up for it.
00:30:32.93\00:30:36.06
But, of course, you can
just go online and look at it.
00:30:36.10\00:30:40.17
And it covers
everything from nutrition,
00:30:40.20\00:30:44.64
you know, Rise has a blog
00:30:44.67\00:30:46.88
on there called Rise's Pieces.
00:30:46.91\00:30:50.85
I'm gonna say it
right. Great title.
00:30:50.88\00:30:52.61
I love it. Great energy.
00:30:52.65\00:30:54.72
And, oh, we've had all kinds
of blogs about money matters,
00:30:54.75\00:31:00.56
we have blog about recovery,
00:31:00.59\00:31:04.33
we also have Tim,
00:31:04.36\00:31:08.70
Tim Parton does
one. Wisdom seeker.
00:31:08.73\00:31:10.33
Wisdom seeker, and these
are very personal stories.
00:31:10.37\00:31:14.40
You know, a blog is
a very personal thing.
00:31:14.44\00:31:16.91
And it's real life,
00:31:16.94\00:31:20.14
it's real things
00:31:20.18\00:31:23.35
that these authors
have learned or are learning
00:31:23.38\00:31:27.22
and they're very,
they're shared from the heart.
00:31:27.25\00:31:30.02
I just edited one yesterday
that will be coming up soon.
00:31:30.05\00:31:34.06
From J.D. Quinn,
00:31:34.09\00:31:36.06
powerful story from
his pastoral ministry,
00:31:36.09\00:31:39.96
phone calls and things that
happen in pastoral ministries,
00:31:40.00\00:31:42.80
real life
problems and solutions,
00:31:42.83\00:31:47.34
and always, always pointing
back to the Word of God.
00:31:47.37\00:31:50.77
And we have some of our young
people who write some as well.
00:31:50.81\00:31:53.21
That's right.
Excited about that.
00:31:53.24\00:31:55.18
So you can go to
3bn.tv click on the blog,
00:31:55.21\00:31:59.01
and you can read it
or you can subscribe.
00:31:59.05\00:32:01.92
And that way, every
Monday I get my, every Monday,
00:32:01.95\00:32:04.65
it pops in my inbox,
and then I can read that.
00:32:04.69\00:32:06.49
And I love that.
00:32:06.52\00:32:07.86
And it also has
an audio version.
00:32:07.89\00:32:09.72
I'm sorry, not the
blog, the blog doesn't.
00:32:09.76\00:32:11.73
I'm jumping ahead
to Faith Light, my bad.
00:32:11.76\00:32:14.60
Faith Light is also
something you can subscribe to.
00:32:14.63\00:32:16.67
Yes.
00:32:16.70\00:32:18.03
It comes out,
it's a daily devotional
00:32:18.07\00:32:19.40
and it comes out
every morning at 5 o'clock
00:32:19.43\00:32:20.77
in the morning Central.
00:32:20.80\00:32:22.14
So you can read that when
you get up in the morning,
00:32:22.17\00:32:23.57
have your time with God.
00:32:23.61\00:32:24.94
And that has an
audio portion. Yes.
00:32:24.97\00:32:26.88
We've turned it into a podcast.
00:32:26.91\00:32:29.34
And you can listen to
it or you can read it.
00:32:29.38\00:32:32.68
Yeah, and I'm so
blessed by the authors
00:32:32.71\00:32:37.35
that send in those
different devotionals.
00:32:37.39\00:32:42.52
Many of them are
from our 3ABN family,
00:32:42.56\00:32:45.56
people that you would not
see on television necessarily,
00:32:45.59\00:32:48.70
but who have a
talent for writing
00:32:48.73\00:32:50.83
and writing for the
Lord and that desire to share
00:32:50.87\00:32:53.80
that devotional thought
with our audience and I'm,
00:32:53.84\00:32:57.57
I guess, as an
editor in the background,
00:32:57.61\00:33:00.74
I'm blessed first,
you know, and for me,
00:33:00.78\00:33:03.45
it's just a joy to see
those things keep coming,
00:33:03.48\00:33:06.35
and keep going
out into the world.
00:33:06.38\00:33:07.88
I like the audio part of it.
00:33:07.92\00:33:09.68
Because sometimes, I mean, my
daughter might read it with me.
00:33:09.72\00:33:12.72
But we also like the audio part
00:33:12.75\00:33:14.79
because you hear the
emotions coming through so.
00:33:14.82\00:33:17.63
That's right. No,
it's very important.
00:33:17.66\00:33:19.29
You're right. I
like that very much.
00:33:19.33\00:33:20.66
Many of the authors
actually read their own,
00:33:20.70\00:33:22.73
not all of
them, but many of them
00:33:22.76\00:33:24.47
will actually
read it themselves.
00:33:24.50\00:33:25.83
I love that.
00:33:25.87\00:33:27.20
So you can
subscribe to that too,
00:33:27.24\00:33:28.57
just go to 3abn.tv and
you can subscribe there.
00:33:28.60\00:33:30.34
It's called 3ABN Faith Light,
00:33:30.37\00:33:32.67
and you can
subscribe there for that.
00:33:32.71\00:33:34.94
And we also have podcasts.
00:33:34.98\00:33:36.31
We touched on that with the
audio portion for Faith Light.
00:33:36.34\00:33:38.95
But we have podcasts,
I think and CJ Lingle,
00:33:38.98\00:33:41.52
he works so hard.
00:33:41.55\00:33:43.62
And every week the
Sabbath School panel,
00:33:43.65\00:33:45.59
you can watch it
but it's also a podcast.
00:33:45.62\00:33:48.09
And we have 100 Days of Prayer,
00:33:48.12\00:33:49.66
which is just a time of prayer
00:33:49.69\00:33:51.46
and with a music bed
underneath and you can,
00:33:51.49\00:33:54.16
that's a
podcast so we have a lot
00:33:54.20\00:33:55.53
of different options for that.
00:33:55.56\00:33:57.47
Yeah, absolutely.
00:33:57.50\00:33:58.83
We've mentioned a lot of
different websites and things.
00:33:58.87\00:34:01.64
The key is like Jill
just mentioned 3abn.tv
00:34:01.67\00:34:04.27
When you go
there to that website,
00:34:04.31\00:34:06.31
you'll find contact information
for you too, Aunt Francine.
00:34:06.34\00:34:09.64
You're talking
about, you know, people,

One thing I want to
mention during and, Jason,
00:34:23.89\00:34:25.59
going to you, and
I'll just reference
00:34:25.63\00:34:27.10
you on this too is
that you know technology
00:34:27.13\00:34:29.33
and things change.
00:34:29.36\00:34:30.97
And this is one thing
that just keeping a lookout
00:34:31.00\00:34:33.74
for if you watch
3ABN on your phone.
00:34:33.77\00:34:37.51
You've heard us
mention about 3ABN+
00:34:37.54\00:34:40.48
and you can see the logo
right now on your screen,
00:34:40.51\00:34:42.38
it says 3abnplus.tv
00:34:42.41\00:34:45.08
And that's a new
platform that 3ABN has gone
00:34:45.11\00:34:48.88
to on like Roku,
Amazon Fire, Apple TV...
00:34:48.92\00:34:53.19
Online. Online as well.
00:34:53.22\00:34:55.32
What that gives you is you
get all of our live streams.
00:34:55.36\00:34:58.09
It's okay, that's good.
00:34:58.13\00:34:59.46
You get all of the radio
streams as well, that's good.
00:34:59.49\00:35:02.36
What you get in
addition to that,
00:35:02.40\00:35:04.03
that's why it's 3ABN+ is VOD.
00:35:04.07\00:35:07.94
Now you're saying what's VOD?
00:35:07.97\00:35:09.44
Let me just tell you what
VOD stands for, video on demand.
00:35:09.47\00:35:14.94
Video on demand,
think of YouTube.
00:35:14.98\00:35:16.81
If you're familiar with YouTube,
00:35:16.85\00:35:18.18
YouTube is pretty
much video on demand.
00:35:18.21\00:35:20.12
Well, 3ABN has their own
YouTube, let's say of 3ABN.
00:35:20.15\00:35:23.92
So on the same platform,
00:35:23.95\00:35:27.32
may I say you can
watch all the live streams
00:35:27.36\00:35:29.59
like you're
watching this program now,
00:35:29.62\00:35:31.16
or you can watch a video
on demand, which is beautiful,
00:35:31.19\00:35:33.86
Bible Q and A, let's
say, or Sabbath School Panel.
00:35:33.90\00:35:37.00
The beautiful thing of video
on demand is you can play it
00:35:37.03\00:35:39.80
and say, "Oh, wait a
minute, I think Greg,
00:35:39.83\00:35:42.47
I think he missed
focus scripture or something?
00:35:42.50\00:35:45.04
Or what did he say?
00:35:45.07\00:35:46.41
I want to write that down."
00:35:46.44\00:35:47.78
You can stop,
00:35:47.81\00:35:49.14
you can back up
just a little bit
00:35:49.18\00:35:50.51
or all the way to
the beginning if you want
00:35:50.55\00:35:51.88
and then listen
to it again, pause,
00:35:51.91\00:35:53.58
go do something
else, feed the dog.
00:35:53.62\00:35:55.35
I don't know, eat lunch,
then you can pick it up again.
00:35:55.38\00:35:57.92
That's the beautiful
thing of video on demand.
00:35:57.95\00:35:59.85
So 3ABN+, Jason, is going to
be launched on the phone soon.
00:35:59.89\00:36:04.66
That's Android and Apple.
00:36:04.69\00:36:06.06
This has been
long time in coming.
00:36:06.09\00:36:08.03
We've tried to work out
all the bugs, right? Yes.
00:36:08.06\00:36:11.00
There's always little challenges
00:36:11.03\00:36:12.37
when we update the app.
00:36:12.40\00:36:13.74
So the app that
you currently have,
00:36:13.77\00:36:15.44
for those of you
that have a phone,
00:36:15.47\00:36:16.81
I have an Android phone,
let me go to my 3ABN app.
00:36:16.84\00:36:19.31
Okay, it looks like this, right?
00:36:19.34\00:36:21.91
That's how you're
used to seeing it,
00:36:21.94\00:36:23.85
the 3ABN app on your phone.
00:36:23.88\00:36:25.71
It's going to
change just a little bit,
00:36:25.75\00:36:27.15
Jason's how
it's going to change,
00:36:27.18\00:36:28.52
it's going to be
3ABN+, you're going to watch,
00:36:28.55\00:36:30.82
get the live streams,
plus the video on demand
00:36:30.85\00:36:33.36
that's coming soon.
00:36:33.39\00:36:34.86
So keeping a lookout for that.
00:36:34.89\00:36:37.83
Changes are
inevitable, right? Absolutely.
00:36:37.86\00:36:39.89
We're just trying to find,
00:36:39.93\00:36:41.26
3ABN is trying to find more
ways that we can evangelize.
00:36:41.30\00:36:43.80
Jason, you've always
been a strong supporter
00:36:43.83\00:36:45.60
of the ability to share
an online evangelism, right?
00:36:45.63\00:36:48.77
So having things like
this, you can share them easier,
00:36:48.80\00:36:51.21
isn't that correct?
00:36:51.24\00:36:52.57
Absolutely. And you
know, it's so needed.
00:36:52.61\00:36:55.48
Because as you're
walking down the street,
00:36:55.51\00:36:57.61
or you're
driving down the highway,
00:36:57.65\00:36:59.05
there's so many things that
are vying for our attention.
00:36:59.08\00:37:03.35
True.
00:37:03.39\00:37:04.72
So why not put
the gospel in a format
00:37:04.75\00:37:07.36
that is accessible by everyone
00:37:07.39\00:37:09.02
and so that I'm
excited about that.
00:37:09.06\00:37:13.63
You can watch
what's airing live,
00:37:13.66\00:37:15.26
as you said, or
you can go and see VOD,
00:37:15.30\00:37:18.50
what's on demand.
00:37:18.53\00:37:19.87
So that creates a
lot of opportunities.
00:37:19.90\00:37:21.97
People want to watch
what they want to watch
00:37:22.00\00:37:23.81
when they want to watch it.
00:37:23.84\00:37:25.17
So, it's exiting.
00:37:25.21\00:37:26.54
That's another
beautiful thing, isn't it?
00:37:26.57\00:37:27.94
Yeah, that's true.
When you want to watch
00:37:27.98\00:37:29.88
it. Yes. Yes.
00:37:29.91\00:37:31.25
So, yeah, I'm
looking forward to that.
00:37:31.28\00:37:32.61
And a lot of people it
seems like 'cause we get to look
00:37:32.65\00:37:34.22
at some of the analytics,
00:37:34.25\00:37:36.15
and I see a lot of
numbers on the app.
00:37:36.18\00:37:39.45
Yes, on phone.
00:37:39.49\00:37:40.82
So a lot of people are
watching on their phone.
00:37:40.86\00:37:42.26
So yeah, it'll be
interesting to see
00:37:42.29\00:37:44.23
what the
3abnplus.tv well, yeah, 3ABN+.
00:37:44.26\00:37:48.36
Oh, yeah, absolutely.
00:37:48.40\00:37:49.73
Yeah, that's coming soon.
00:37:49.76\00:37:51.10
So tell us about Dare to
Dream, some exciting things.
00:37:51.13\00:37:53.07
You have some incredible
updates of what God is doing?
00:37:53.10\00:37:54.90
Yes. God is good.
00:37:54.94\00:37:57.47
God is... Look at God.
00:37:57.51\00:37:58.84
Look at God. That's the theme.
00:37:58.87\00:38:00.21
Last year was the
year of expansion.
00:38:00.24\00:38:03.41
And we've seen how God has just
been stretching the networks,
00:38:03.45\00:38:06.41
stretching the ministry,
00:38:06.45\00:38:07.82
and we're looking at
God in Dare to Dream.
00:38:07.85\00:38:10.92
Now I want to share this
passage that Dare to Dream
00:38:10.95\00:38:14.02
is clinging to this year.
00:38:14.06\00:38:15.49
Okay.
00:38:15.52\00:38:16.86
And it's taken
from Luke Chapter 4,
00:38:16.89\00:38:18.36
will begin in verse 16,
00:38:18.39\00:38:19.73
and just kind of
walk down a little bit.
00:38:19.76\00:38:22.16
"So He came to Nazareth,
where He had been brought up.
00:38:22.20\00:38:25.83
And as His custom was,
00:38:25.87\00:38:27.94
He went into the
synagogue on the Sabbath day
00:38:27.97\00:38:30.57
and stood up to read.
00:38:30.61\00:38:32.14
And He was handed the
book of the Prophet Isaiah.
00:38:32.17\00:38:35.01
And when He had opened the book,
00:38:35.04\00:38:36.44
He found the place
where it was written,
00:38:36.48\00:38:39.21
'The Spirit of
the Lord is upon Me,
00:38:39.25\00:38:41.45
because He has anointed me
00:38:41.48\00:38:43.25
to preach the
gospel to the poor,
00:38:43.28\00:38:45.92
He has sent me to
heal the brokenhearted,
00:38:45.95\00:38:48.79
to proclaim
liberty to the captives,
00:38:48.82\00:38:51.43
and recovery of
sight to the blind,
00:38:51.46\00:38:53.90
to set at liberty
those who are oppressed,
00:38:53.93\00:38:56.70
to proclaim the
acceptable year of the Lord.'
00:38:56.73\00:39:00.40
Then He closed the
book and gave it back
00:39:00.44\00:39:02.70
to the attendant and sat down.
00:39:02.74\00:39:05.01
And the eyes of all
who were in the synagogue
00:39:05.04\00:39:07.34
were fixed on Him.'"
00:39:07.38\00:39:09.14
And so, you know,
with Dare to Dream
00:39:09.18\00:39:11.18
with the programs that
are going to be coming out
00:39:11.21\00:39:14.35
that we have in the pipeline
00:39:14.38\00:39:15.88
and some program concepts,
00:39:15.92\00:39:18.62
we want to make sure
that its Holy Spirit filled.
00:39:18.65\00:39:21.72
And so we always pray
before we do any program,
00:39:21.76\00:39:24.83
you know, we pray
before we have meetings,
00:39:24.86\00:39:27.40
we're in prayer, right?
00:39:27.43\00:39:28.96
We want the Holy Spirit deeply,
00:39:29.00\00:39:31.23
deeply involved in these things.
00:39:31.27\00:39:33.74
And also to preach
the gospel to the poor.
00:39:33.77\00:39:37.07
This is an
all-inclusive message.
00:39:37.11\00:39:39.24
This message is for everyone.
00:39:39.27\00:39:41.44
You know, it doesn't
matter what your economic class
00:39:41.48\00:39:44.98
is or anything,
it is for everyone,
00:39:45.01\00:39:47.58
so we want to preach
the gospel to the poor.
00:39:47.62\00:39:50.45
There are so many
brokenhearted people
00:39:50.49\00:39:52.82
that are out
there in our world today
00:39:52.85\00:39:54.69
and we want to mend,
00:39:54.72\00:39:56.66
this is the mending
broken hearted people network.
00:39:56.69\00:40:01.13
And so we want
to share that hope,
00:40:01.16\00:40:05.13
the hope of Christ with them.
00:40:05.17\00:40:06.50
And so that's another
thing that Dare to Dream
00:40:06.53\00:40:09.57
wants to do, and to proclaim
liberty to the captives.
00:40:09.60\00:40:13.31
There are so many people
that are held in bondage to sin
00:40:13.34\00:40:17.28
and shackled by sin
00:40:17.31\00:40:19.88
that we want to be able
to liberate the captives.
00:40:19.91\00:40:22.05
And the way that we do that
is by pointing them to Christ.
00:40:22.08\00:40:25.72
And so that's our
focus for this year
00:40:25.75\00:40:27.59
and recovery of
sight to the blind.
00:40:27.62\00:40:29.72
You know, there are people
that are out there that are,
00:40:29.76\00:40:31.23
they've been
walking with the Lord,
00:40:31.26\00:40:33.40
and then they strayed away.
00:40:33.43\00:40:34.80
And, you know,
me, being one of them.
00:40:34.83\00:40:37.07
I walked with the Lord
for like, roughly 14 years,
00:40:37.10\00:40:40.50
and then I left for 14
years and then came back.
00:40:40.54\00:40:44.07
We want to reach those
people, we want to tell them,
00:40:44.11\00:40:47.14
"Look, come back to the Lord,
00:40:47.18\00:40:49.61
He's longing to
spend eternity with you.
00:40:49.64\00:40:52.01
He's standing there with open
arms waiting to receive you."
00:40:52.05\00:40:55.58
So Dare to Dream, we
want to have programs
00:40:55.62\00:40:58.09
that embody that as well,
00:40:58.12\00:41:00.86
and to set at liberty
those who are oppressed,
00:41:00.89\00:41:04.23
to proclaim the
acceptable year of the Lord,
00:41:04.26\00:41:06.96
and just to tell people
to look at, look at God.
00:41:07.00\00:41:09.83
Amen. That's what we want to do.
00:41:09.86\00:41:11.73
So we have some
exciting program concepts
00:41:11.77\00:41:14.90
that are currently in the works.
00:41:14.94\00:41:18.24
So don't expect
to see them tomorrow,
00:41:18.27\00:41:20.24
but they're
currently in the works.
00:41:20.28\00:41:21.71
So we've got
hidden in plain sight
00:41:21.74\00:41:24.35
is a television
series that really exposes
00:41:24.38\00:41:26.58
the dark side of the
entertainment industry
00:41:26.61\00:41:30.05
and shows how it's
intertwined with the occult,
00:41:30.09\00:41:32.92
and it will show you Scripture,
00:41:32.95\00:41:36.49
the truth, and
then it will show you
00:41:36.52\00:41:39.13
some of the err
00:41:39.16\00:41:40.50
and what is
being pushed on people.
00:41:40.53\00:41:42.36
And it's so important
00:41:42.40\00:41:43.73
because people
are being swept up,
00:41:43.77\00:41:45.67
and they don't even realize
00:41:45.70\00:41:47.04
that they think it's
just an innocent type
00:41:47.07\00:41:48.60
of program or show or,
00:41:48.64\00:41:52.07
and it's not, it's not.
00:41:52.11\00:41:54.84
We want to have a
lifestyle program,
00:41:54.88\00:41:56.64
you know, we have
to deal with health,
00:41:56.68\00:41:58.61
so many people are
experiencing health challenges
00:41:58.65\00:42:01.35
and complications, you know,
we're going to have a panel
00:42:01.38\00:42:05.92
that's comprised of so many
various health professionals.
00:42:05.95\00:42:10.23
So we'll have a
nurse practitioner,
00:42:10.26\00:42:12.66
a dietitian, an herbalist,
a mental health expert,
00:42:12.69\00:42:17.17
we'll have, let's
see what else here,
00:42:17.20\00:42:19.70
we'll have a
senior lifestyle coach,
00:42:19.73\00:42:22.20
a naturopathic doctor
and a medical doctor as well.
00:42:22.24\00:42:25.84
Good.
00:42:25.87\00:42:27.21
We're going to address issues
00:42:27.24\00:42:28.58
that plague inner city residents
00:42:28.61\00:42:30.15
and it transcends
just the inner cities
00:42:30.18\00:42:33.01
but such as hypertension,
heart disease, diabetes,
00:42:33.05\00:42:36.12
cancer, stress,
PTSD, abuse, fear, grief,
00:42:36.15\00:42:40.66
depression, anxiety and pain.
00:42:40.69\00:42:43.22
So we want to cover
that gamut and more.
00:42:43.26\00:42:47.36
We also have strategies
for strongholds, which,
00:42:47.40\00:42:50.97
as we were talking
earlier, you know about people
00:42:51.00\00:42:53.67
that are in bondage
and shackled by that sin,
00:42:53.70\00:42:56.07
we want to help them
with tips and strategies
00:42:56.10\00:42:58.24
from the Word of God
that will help combat that.
00:42:58.27\00:43:01.58
And we have so much more,
but as we talk about the year
00:43:01.61\00:43:06.25
of expansion from last year,
and then look at God this year,
00:43:06.28\00:43:11.55
I'm just looking
at what God is doing
00:43:11.59\00:43:13.59
with the Interless system.
00:43:13.62\00:43:15.02
Yes.
00:43:15.06\00:43:16.39
And so the D2D Prison
Hard Drive initiative,
00:43:16.42\00:43:19.16
we actually have a video
that really kind of explains
00:43:19.19\00:43:22.46
a little bit
about what's going on.
00:43:22.50\00:43:24.30
Good.
00:43:24.33\00:43:25.67
And we're praying over
the boxes and everything
00:43:25.70\00:43:27.84
that's going out to
the transitional houses,
00:43:27.87\00:43:29.97
as well.
00:43:30.01\00:43:31.34
So should we go to that video
now, Jason? I would love to.
00:43:31.37\00:43:33.68
Okay. All right.
00:43:33.71\00:43:35.04
Let's go to that roll right now.
00:43:35.08\00:43:38.08
Hi, I'm Jason
Bradley, and I'm super excited
00:43:38.11\00:43:40.72
about what is
taking place here today.
00:43:40.75\00:43:42.78
I'm standing here
with Mr. Danny Shelton,
00:43:42.82\00:43:45.42
Yvonne Shelton, Greg
Morikone and Jill Morikone
00:43:45.45\00:43:49.79
and I'm excited
because we're about to send
00:43:49.82\00:43:53.66
three boxes to a halfway house.
00:43:53.70\00:43:57.53
Now contained within
these boxes are the Gospel
00:43:57.57\00:44:01.40
of Jesus Christ and
practical tools for living
00:44:01.44\00:44:03.47
that are going to make
such a difference in the lives
00:44:03.51\00:44:06.07
of the men and
women that receive them.
00:44:06.11\00:44:09.04
You know, Pop, you've been
around for a little while...
00:44:09.08\00:44:12.15
Forever.
00:44:12.18\00:44:13.52
And you've seen quite a
few projects here at 3ABN.
00:44:13.55\00:44:18.39
How's it make you
feel to see another project
00:44:18.42\00:44:22.02
coming into fruition?
00:44:22.06\00:44:23.46
It's always incredible.
00:44:23.49\00:44:24.83
And as time, years go by,
00:44:24.86\00:44:27.26
technology changes tremendously.
00:44:27.30\00:44:29.40
Now to send this box,
00:44:29.43\00:44:30.97
I'm sure you'll
tell us what it is.
00:44:31.00\00:44:32.93
But this Interless
system is just something
00:44:32.97\00:44:35.70
that who would have dreamed
of it just a few years ago?
00:44:35.74\00:44:39.24
Amazing. Yes, absolutely.
00:44:39.27\00:44:41.28
This D2D Prison
Hard Drive initiative
00:44:41.31\00:44:44.55
that is taking
place, 3901 programs...
00:44:44.58\00:44:48.52
How many?
00:44:48.55\00:44:49.88
3901 designed to help
reduce the recidivism rate.
00:44:49.92\00:44:54.62
In just one of
these. In just one of them.
00:44:54.66\00:44:56.79
Wow. Yes.
00:44:56.83\00:44:58.16
And there are
three boxes in there.
00:44:58.19\00:44:59.89
They're pre-loaded
all those programs?
00:44:59.93\00:45:01.53
Pre-loaded and ready to watch,
00:45:01.56\00:45:03.16
and it doesn't
even require internet.
00:45:03.20\00:45:04.70
It's absolutely
incredible. Yes, absolutely.
00:45:04.73\00:45:07.30
And, Mother, you
started Dare to Dream,
00:45:07.34\00:45:10.14
you co-founded it with Pop here.
00:45:10.17\00:45:12.37
And, you know,
this was something
00:45:12.41\00:45:14.74
that you had envisioned as well.
00:45:14.78\00:45:16.54
So how are you feeling today
00:45:16.58\00:45:18.45
as you're seeing
this going forth?
00:45:18.48\00:45:20.08
I feel so full right now.
00:45:20.12\00:45:22.08
Because I know that this
is what the Lord would have us
00:45:22.12\00:45:25.49
to do to get the
gospel to everyone,
00:45:25.52\00:45:28.39
to the incarcerated,
00:45:28.42\00:45:29.76
to those who are
in the halfway houses
00:45:29.79\00:45:31.96
who are getting
ready to reenter society.
00:45:31.99\00:45:34.63
This is what they need,
they need to know about Jesus,
00:45:34.66\00:45:37.50
they need to hear the gospel.
00:45:37.53\00:45:39.63
And all of these programs
are designed to help them
00:45:39.67\00:45:42.80
to live out the gospel,
00:45:42.84\00:45:46.14
is practical Christianity.
00:45:46.17\00:45:48.68
And so I'm just super
excited and super thankful.
00:45:48.71\00:45:52.08
Amen.
00:45:52.11\00:45:53.48
And Greg and Jill, you
guys have been in the trenches.
00:45:53.52\00:45:55.32
And you've been working
right along with this project,
00:45:55.35\00:45:58.52
promoting it and doing
all of those things as well.
00:45:58.55\00:46:00.59
How are you feeling today?
00:46:00.62\00:46:02.89
You know, there's always
been many significant days here
00:46:02.92\00:46:05.26
at the Ministry of
3ABN, 37 years, right,
00:46:05.29\00:46:07.33
3ABN has been in existence.
00:46:07.36\00:46:08.70
Well, today is another
one of those significant days,
00:46:08.73\00:46:10.50
you know, what just
always touches my heart
00:46:10.53\00:46:12.73
is you think about
these boxes going out,
00:46:12.77\00:46:14.37
'cause this is
the very first box
00:46:14.40\00:46:15.90
with the Interless
boxes inside of it.
00:46:15.94\00:46:18.21
And it's going
out to read souls.
00:46:18.24\00:46:19.71
And that's what
3ABN has been all about.
00:46:19.74\00:46:21.54
It's about evangelism.
00:46:21.58\00:46:23.31
So what's incredible is
that you the supporter of home,
00:46:23.35\00:46:25.68
you have funded this project.
00:46:25.71\00:46:27.42
Thank you so very much
for catching the vision.
00:46:27.45\00:46:30.12
But what's
amazing is that we donate,
00:46:30.15\00:46:31.99
we pack, we send this out,
00:46:32.02\00:46:33.72
but we may not
know until eternity,
00:46:33.76\00:46:35.36
the full impact of
these boxes going out,
00:46:35.39\00:46:37.46
touching lives for eternity
00:46:37.49\00:46:38.96
and that ripple grows and grows.
00:46:38.99\00:46:40.43
So it just, my heart
is full too, Dr. Yvonne.
00:46:40.46\00:46:43.00
So very encouraging. Amen.
00:46:43.03\00:46:46.17
I'm just reminded of Isaiah 55,
God's word never returns void.
00:46:46.20\00:46:50.87
And you think about
those who are lost and alone,
00:46:50.91\00:46:53.38
those who need Jesus,
00:46:53.41\00:46:55.54
those who feel
like I'm unredeemable,
00:46:55.58\00:46:58.45
God can't forgive me,
those who are incarcerated,
00:46:58.48\00:47:01.62
or in this case,
in a halfway house,
00:47:01.65\00:47:03.92
knowing that the
gospel, the Word of God
00:47:03.95\00:47:06.25
is going into those places,
00:47:06.29\00:47:08.59
and that people will find Jesus.
00:47:08.62\00:47:10.73
I'm super excited
about this project
00:47:10.76\00:47:12.93
and what God's going to do.
00:47:12.96\00:47:14.30
Jay, the technology,
00:47:14.33\00:47:16.26
again, for those who don't know
00:47:16.30\00:47:17.70
is what's amazing to me,
00:47:17.73\00:47:19.23
is the fact that you can
put thousands of programs
00:47:19.27\00:47:22.60
on one little box that
does not require the internet,
00:47:22.64\00:47:25.71
you don't have to
have a satellite dish,
00:47:25.74\00:47:27.84
you don't have to
worry about the weather,
00:47:27.88\00:47:29.51
whether it's
going to be bad weather
00:47:29.54\00:47:30.88
or good weather,
00:47:30.91\00:47:32.25
and it's programmed in
for thousands of hours,
00:47:32.28\00:47:34.68
it could last
actually a few years of good,
00:47:34.72\00:47:37.82
fresh content that
won't be played over
00:47:37.85\00:47:40.32
and over and over.
00:47:40.36\00:47:41.72
And can be put
anywhere, halfway house prisons,
00:47:41.76\00:47:44.93
where they have, you
know, restrictions on internet,
00:47:44.96\00:47:47.86
a lot of different
things are getting satellite,
00:47:47.90\00:47:50.23
these are simple, you can put up
00:47:50.27\00:47:51.67
and pipe it
wherever you want to.
00:47:51.70\00:47:53.07
So it's an amazing technology.
00:47:53.10\00:47:54.44
And then for us to
get the opportunity
00:47:54.47\00:47:57.64
with you all spearheading it,
00:47:57.67\00:47:59.17
get the opportunity to
send the first ones out,
00:47:59.21\00:48:01.78
I believe it's one of
hundreds and even thousands
00:48:01.81\00:48:04.45
that will go into places
00:48:04.48\00:48:06.51
otherwise never to be
able to be reached Amen.
00:48:06.55\00:48:09.85
Absolutely. And we're
living in the last days.
00:48:09.88\00:48:12.39
And there is a sense of urgency
that needs to take place.
00:48:12.42\00:48:15.76
And so I'm looking forward
to getting these boxes out.
00:48:15.79\00:48:17.79
But before we seal this box up,
and before we add the letter,
00:48:17.83\00:48:22.16
the congratulatory
letter as well as the flyer
00:48:22.20\00:48:25.33
and seal it up, we
need to pray over it.
00:48:25.37\00:48:27.27
So I'd like to ask you to
pray, Mother, over these boxes,
00:48:27.30\00:48:31.74
and if we could just stand over.
00:48:31.77\00:48:33.81
Yes.
00:48:33.84\00:48:35.51
Oh, Lord, we just praise
You and thank You so very much
00:48:35.54\00:48:38.51
for the privilege of
being able to send these boxes
00:48:38.55\00:48:41.55
and You know who
needs to receive them,
00:48:41.58\00:48:43.79
Lord, so please open the doors
00:48:43.82\00:48:45.55
to everywhere that
You want these to go.
00:48:45.59\00:48:48.22
And please help that
the viewers and listeners
00:48:48.26\00:48:50.89
who will watch these
programs will be blessed
00:48:50.93\00:48:54.10
and their hearts
will be turned to You,
00:48:54.13\00:48:55.73
we pray, in Jesus' name, amen.
00:48:55.76\00:48:58.17
Amen. Amen.
00:48:58.20\00:48:59.53
Amen.
00:48:59.57\00:49:00.90
So, take our
congratulatory letter here,
00:49:00.94\00:49:04.77
we're going to send this
out, put that in the box,
00:49:04.81\00:49:09.14
let them know they're
getting something very special.
00:49:09.18\00:49:11.98
And then we have
the flyer to go with it
00:49:12.01\00:49:14.45
that kind of
describes a little bit
00:49:14.48\00:49:15.98
about what's on the box there.
00:49:16.02\00:49:18.62
And then Greg, I'm going
to ask you to do the honors
00:49:18.65\00:49:20.99
of sealing these boxes.
00:49:21.02\00:49:22.79
Okay, and we're here at
the 3ABN call center too.
00:49:22.82\00:49:24.96
A lot of material
leaves this place,
00:49:24.99\00:49:28.13
making a
difference in the world.
00:49:28.16\00:49:29.50
All right, let's
do this. All right.
00:49:29.53\00:49:32.63
We'll close this on up here.
00:49:32.67\00:49:34.47
Got a nice tape gun.
00:49:37.74\00:49:39.07
It looked like
you've done that before.
00:49:48.15\00:49:50.52
You know I spent 10
years here at the call center
00:49:50.55\00:49:52.65
and I loved every minute of it.
00:49:52.69\00:49:54.16
What a great place to be.
00:49:54.19\00:49:55.52
Yeah, we'll put a little
more tape on it here in a minute
00:49:55.56\00:49:56.99
but we've got the label here
From call center to president.
00:49:57.03\00:50:00.83
Well, a good journey here.
00:50:00.86\00:50:03.06
All right, taking the label off.
00:50:07.67\00:50:09.84
And, Jill, I'm going to
ask that you do the honors.
00:50:09.87\00:50:12.27
Yay.
00:50:12.31\00:50:13.64
Super excited.
00:50:16.58\00:50:17.91
This is the very first box,
00:50:17.95\00:50:19.38
the first three Interless
boxes going out and the gospel,
00:50:19.41\00:50:23.18
3ABN is right in here.
00:50:23.22\00:50:25.09
And it's going to
three halfway houses.
00:50:25.12\00:50:28.79
Oh, this is your mike, sorry...
That, sorry, we can share.
00:50:28.82\00:50:30.99
That's wonderful.
00:50:31.03\00:50:32.69
Thank you so much
for what you have done
00:50:32.73\00:50:35.40
and what you continue to
do for the cause of Christ.
00:50:35.43\00:50:37.70
And I just want to
appeal to you to pray,
00:50:37.73\00:50:40.87
pray for these boxes,
00:50:40.90\00:50:42.64
pray for the men and the women
00:50:42.67\00:50:44.14
that are about to
receive these boxes,
00:50:44.17\00:50:46.51
that their lives will be changed
00:50:46.54\00:50:48.54
and that they will be
in the kingdom one day.
00:50:48.58\00:50:51.55
God bless you. Amen.
00:50:51.58\00:50:54.18
What an exciting
day that was, Jason,
00:50:54.22\00:50:56.79
to be there at the call center,
00:50:56.82\00:50:58.15
and to know that the very first
00:50:58.19\00:51:00.06
of the three Interless
boxes there for the hard drives
00:51:00.09\00:51:02.62
for prisons were going
into the halfway house there.
00:51:02.66\00:51:05.19
Look at God. Amen.
00:51:05.23\00:51:06.63
Amen. I'm so
excited about this project.
00:51:06.66\00:51:08.83
Absolutely. I am too.
00:51:08.86\00:51:10.20
You know, I
think it's so important
00:51:10.23\00:51:11.57
that we impact
people in that decision
00:51:11.60\00:51:14.37
making process
because they're going to have
00:51:14.40\00:51:16.37
a lot of choices ahead of them.
00:51:16.40\00:51:18.67
And we want them to be
equipped with the gospel
00:51:18.71\00:51:21.61
and we want them to know Christ.
00:51:21.64\00:51:22.98
And this is a great
way for that to take place.
00:51:23.01\00:51:25.21
Amen.
00:51:25.25\00:51:26.58
I know we're coming down
to the end of the program.
00:51:26.61\00:51:28.12
And we'll do some
closing thoughts from everyone.
00:51:28.15\00:51:29.95
But, Francine, before,
00:51:29.98\00:51:31.42
we had talked about
some upcoming programs.
00:51:31.45\00:51:35.92
So tell us some
more what's coming,
00:51:35.96\00:51:37.29
so this year 2022,
00:51:37.33\00:51:38.99
what programs would be
recording with Kids Network?
00:51:39.03\00:51:41.43
So besides the
Jesus My Light ones,
00:51:41.46\00:51:44.07
we have Kids Express though,
00:51:44.10\00:51:45.83
that's going to
be a phenomenal one.
00:51:45.87\00:51:47.70
So where kids can
participate virtually
00:51:47.74\00:51:52.17
even through Skype...
00:51:52.21\00:51:53.64
Wonderful.
00:51:53.68\00:51:55.01
Or on and we can talk about
00:51:55.04\00:51:56.38
how they're shining for Jesus
00:51:56.41\00:51:57.75
and also share how they
can resolve situations in life.
00:51:57.78\00:52:01.95
So we're hoping that and
so if you want to email me,
00:52:01.98\00:52:04.75
be sure to email me and
have some kids participate
00:52:04.79\00:52:07.22
and also some more
Creation is Science.
00:52:07.26\00:52:09.69
And then we also have
some praise coming in along.
00:52:09.72\00:52:12.46
So yes, we're
excited about that.
00:52:12.49\00:52:14.76
And the Creation is
Science is with Ben Roy?
00:52:14.80\00:52:16.56
Ben Roy, Professor
Roy, we call him but yes,
00:52:16.60\00:52:19.53
we like to do some experiments.
00:52:19.57\00:52:21.80
And this time since the weather
is not going to cooperate,
00:52:21.84\00:52:24.14
we'll be inside.
00:52:24.17\00:52:25.87
It will still be fun.
00:52:25.91\00:52:27.24
I was gonna say
experiments inside.
00:52:27.28\00:52:28.61
Oh, yeah.
That's a great program.
00:52:28.64\00:52:29.98
I love it. Good.
00:52:30.01\00:52:31.35
We're at the end of the hour.
00:52:31.38\00:52:32.71
So let's go around the circle
00:52:32.75\00:52:34.08
and just do
some closing thoughts
00:52:34.12\00:52:35.45
whatever's on your heart.
00:52:35.48\00:52:36.82
Jason, let's start
with you. All right.
00:52:36.85\00:52:38.55
Well, I just want to
share from Jeremiah 29:11, 12
00:52:38.59\00:52:44.09
and 13, God has a plan
and a purpose for your life.
00:52:44.13\00:52:47.66
"For I know the thoughts
that I think toward you,
00:52:47.70\00:52:49.60
says the Lord, thoughts
of peace and not of evil
00:52:49.63\00:52:52.07
to give you a future and a hope.
00:52:52.10\00:52:54.20
Then you will call upon
Me and go and pray to Me,
00:52:54.24\00:52:56.94
and I will listen to you.
00:52:56.97\00:52:58.31
And you will
seek Me and find Me,
00:52:58.34\00:53:00.41
when you search for
Me with all your heart."
00:53:00.44\00:53:03.21
No matter where
you are right now,
00:53:03.24\00:53:04.95
you can go to God, He's
waiting to hear from you
00:53:04.98\00:53:08.25
and He's got His
arm stretched out wide
00:53:08.28\00:53:10.85
waiting to receive you.
00:53:10.89\00:53:12.42
Go to God. Amen.
00:53:12.45\00:53:14.16
Thank you, Jason. Bobby.
00:53:14.19\00:53:15.69
Well, you know
what's on my heart
00:53:15.72\00:53:17.56
is that each of us are
given talents by the Lord.
00:53:17.59\00:53:21.60
And I think it's
so vitally important
00:53:21.63\00:53:24.07
to use those
talents for the Lord.
00:53:24.10\00:53:25.83
And when we do that,
00:53:25.87\00:53:27.20
the Lord will
always bless our efforts.
00:53:27.24\00:53:30.44
Another thing that is
dear to me is stories.
00:53:30.47\00:53:33.51
You know, we love
to hear your stories,
00:53:33.54\00:53:36.24
and we encourage you
to send us your story.
00:53:36.28\00:53:38.78
In fact, in each magazine,
we have an email address,
00:53:38.81\00:53:41.85
it's called 3abnworld@3abn.org
00:53:41.88\00:53:46.29
that you can send
us your story that way,
00:53:46.32\00:53:48.02
or you can mail it
to us at our PO Box 220,
00:53:48.06\00:53:51.53
West Frankfort, Illinois 628896.
00:53:51.56\00:53:54.76
And I hope to hear from you.
00:53:54.80\00:53:58.27
We love to tell your stories
and what God has done for you.
00:53:58.30\00:54:02.17
And we feature them sometimes
in our magazine as well.
00:54:02.20\00:54:05.04
And so I would say,
please ask the Lord to show you
00:54:05.07\00:54:09.78
what your talents are
00:54:09.81\00:54:11.15
and then use them for the
Lord, you'll never go wrong.
00:54:11.18\00:54:13.45
Amen. Thank you,
Bobby. It's beautiful.
00:54:13.48\00:54:16.15
I like how Jesus is
always working on our character
00:54:16.18\00:54:18.72
and growing those
talents, for example,
00:54:18.75\00:54:20.76
and I love stories and I
enjoy kids writing to us too.
00:54:20.79\00:54:24.76
And I hope they can share
their stories with me as well,
00:54:24.79\00:54:27.20
so that we can use them.
00:54:27.23\00:54:28.56
But, always remember
00:54:28.60\00:54:30.77
that there's gems
in the light of Jesus.
00:54:30.80\00:54:33.70
And always look for
those glimmers of hope,
00:54:33.74\00:54:36.20
I think that's
what I want to say,
00:54:36.24\00:54:38.17
because Jesus was our example
00:54:38.21\00:54:40.18
and we can't go wrong
when we follow in His footsteps
00:54:40.21\00:54:42.84
and look to God.
00:54:42.88\00:54:44.21
Amen. Amen.
00:54:44.25\00:54:45.58
I love that.
00:54:45.61\00:54:46.95
When you mentioned stories,
00:54:46.98\00:54:48.32
Bobby, it
reminded me of this story
00:54:48.35\00:54:49.68
we were going to
reference here tonight.
00:54:49.72\00:54:51.49
This is Coleen from Jamaica
00:54:51.52\00:54:53.22
and she recently
contacted us through Instagram.
00:54:53.25\00:54:56.49
She said that she's been
watching 3ABN for one year
00:54:56.52\00:54:59.63
and she was recently baptized
as the Seventh-day Adventist.
00:54:59.66\00:55:03.60
The programs
that she saw on 3ABN
00:55:03.63\00:55:06.40
helped make up her mind
about her wanting to join
00:55:06.43\00:55:09.27
the Seventh-day
Adventist Church.
00:55:09.30\00:55:10.64
So just a special shout
out to Coleen from Jamaica
00:55:10.67\00:55:15.38
and to each one of
you who have found Jesus,
00:55:15.41\00:55:17.45
who have found truth,
00:55:17.48\00:55:18.81
or found hope in Him
through the Ministry of 3ABN,
00:55:18.85\00:55:23.79
so, I'm excited about that.
00:55:23.82\00:55:25.42
Yeah. Amen.
00:55:25.45\00:55:26.89
Thank you so much,
Francine, for being on.
00:55:26.92\00:55:29.09
And, Bobby Davis,
and also you too, Jason.
00:55:29.12\00:55:32.13
It's a blessing
hosting with you too, Sweetie,
00:55:32.16\00:55:34.20
you know, it's a
blessing to be joining you
00:55:34.23\00:55:36.33
as part of our 3ABN family.
00:55:36.36\00:55:38.90
We look forward
to great year 2022.
00:55:38.93\00:55:41.57
No matter what comes our way,
00:55:41.60\00:55:43.81
we can look at God.
00:55:43.84\00:55:45.57
And there's been mentioned here,
00:55:45.61\00:55:47.18
so many stories
do come into 3ABN.
00:55:47.21\00:55:50.08
We love hearing from you,
00:55:50.11\00:55:52.01
and thank you so
much for sharing them.
00:55:52.05\00:55:53.78
And we want to then
share them with you.
00:55:53.82\00:55:55.75
Why is that? Well,
that encourages you, right?
00:55:55.78\00:55:57.45
Because you sacrificially
give to the Ministry of 3ABN.
00:55:57.49\00:56:01.92
Why do you do that?
00:56:01.96\00:56:03.32
It's because you're
all about evangelism.
00:56:03.36\00:56:05.13
You've caught the vision that
was started 37 years ago here
00:56:05.16\00:56:07.66
at 3ABN that's to spread
the gospel around the world
00:56:07.70\00:56:11.00
and make an eternal
difference in somebody's life.
00:56:11.03\00:56:14.54
So we thank you so very much.
00:56:14.57\00:56:16.54
We want to encourage you,
00:56:16.57\00:56:17.91
as you start the New Year
to dive into the Word of God,
00:56:17.94\00:56:20.38
make the Word of
God a part of your life.
00:56:20.41\00:56:22.94
Thank you so very much for
being a part of our family.
00:56:22.98\00:56:25.21
God bless you.
We'll see you next time.
00:56:25.25\00:56:27.08
