And we're so glad 04:14 you could join us, too. 04:17 >> That would be in jail. Greg Ryan Nguyen, and I'm just 04:20 looking forward to the time we get to talk about side and 04:23 share a little bit of what got us from our hearts. We're 04:27 excited about the school and the benefit of the blessing 04:29 could be to so many people. 04:32 >> Absolutely. In the right. And I think I'm thinking of a 04:35 southern term. You're from Arkansas from West Virginia and 04:37 West Virginia say we're getting ready to bust her son with ex 04:44 times. Really t's everyone about what school disciple ship 04:47 is all about saw absolutely so side. It's an acronym sought 04:51 under the. It's a 04:52 >> very much a intentional. It was actually in the 04:55 beginning. We came up with the name James Von Brunn to my 04:58 attention. He said 3ABN School of Disciple ship Side that fits 05:02 in. So we've kind of worked on that theme. But 3 of the 05:05 in-school disciple ship is just that it's all about making 05:08 disciples for Christ and also teaching instructing guiding 05:12 others to be able to learn how to go on with the training, 05:15 with the understanding of what they've learned and to be able 05:18 to further make disciples for the kingdom of God. So that's 05:21 kind of a quick juiced and understanding of what is truly 05:25 all about evangelism, all about disciple ship. And we're going 05:28 to develop this little bit more as we go along for sure. 05:30 >> You know, something out that's really exciting to run 05:32 is that is going to be and actually in person event right 05:35 here on the campus 3, a B. And I know, Joe, we have some 05:38 of the things want to talk about this evening before 05:40 launch into all the details about the school disciple ship. 05:43 That's right. Because you can become involved in the school 05:46 of decide. Oh, yes, excited to explain the ways that you can 05:49 do that. 05:50 >> But first, I'm going ask Ian to maybe set this up and this 05:54 has to do with one of 3 B and own employees. This is Mister 05:57 Bobby. Does he and his wife, Alice, have been an integral 06:00 part of the ministry for several years. What a blessing 06:03 that they are to somebody as a veteran and he had the 06:06 opportunity to take part in an honor flight out of Marion, 06:10 Illinois, where they flew him up to Washington, D.C., so and 06:16 I know you're a veteran. Talk to us a little bit about 06:18 what the honor flight is and then. 06:20 >> Set up this video that we're going to watch. Yeah, 06:22 absolutely. So honor flights are absolutely incredible 06:26 experience for 06:27 >> for veterans and really what it is. It's an opportunity for 06:31 those who have previously served and they typically start 06:34 with World War, 2 vets and work them their way down or some 06:36 that might be having some illnesses or things like that 06:39 that are critical and now give them a free trip to go to 06:44 Washington, D.C., to visit the monument and these different 06:47 things and now have chaperones with them. And sometimes even 06:50 while I was in the army, we had some of our own soldiers who 06:52 would walk around with them and go with him to the different 06:55 monuments in Washington, D.C.. So it's a really awesome 06:58 opportunity for veterans to just go to the Capitol 07:01 experience, some things that they may not have experienced 07:04 connect with other veterans because, you know, when you've 07:07 been in the service, sometimes people don't don't understand 07:09 certain things. But a veteran understand completely what 07:12 you've gone through, some of the things you've experienced 07:14 and you have that camaraderie with each other. So this video 07:17 here was just a group of us that our wonderful LaDonna 07:20 Terrell, she's coordinated this and set it all up. And it was 07:24 just an incredible experience for us to all be there for Bob 07:26 as he returned back from this flight, which you'll get to see 07:30 the the role of it in just a few moments. 07:32 >> You know, involved when he came back admission to me, 07:35 he said, you know, Greg said all my years and being a 07:36 veteran, he actually never been to Washington, D.C., since a 07:39 memorial. So is really, really so. Yeah, that's not uncommon 07:42 either. So, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah. Thank you very much for 07:45 setting that up. So let's go to that role right now. 07:48 >> Here I'm John McCain and this is in Banda Balkan We''re 07:51 3 aetn at the Marion Airport where we are waiting for the 07:56 honor flight to return. You know, the southern Illinois has 08:00 taken the time to recognize veterans that have fought for 08:03 this country and they are returning from Washington, 08:07 D.C., where they were chosen. And we're excited that one of 08:10 those veterans is our very own Bobby's volunteer for 3, 08:13 8, again in the church member at the time to build 7 Avenue 08:16 church. And right next to me is in bed of all. How was it like 08:20 to serve for our country? Just tell me about that. 08:23 Well, first off it, you know, it was an honor. You you become 08:26 part of a brotherhood in a very select few people have actually 08:30 served this country. So. 08:32 >> There's a unity there. And I'm just I'm privileged to 08:34 be here to be able to support our brother, Bobby AIDS and on 08:37 this honor, fine coming back home. And we just want to tell 08:39 them that we love them. 08:41 >> That right. And, you know, this country has been fought 08:43 and fought for by many brave citizens, men and women through 08:47 the years. And it's so good to be able to be here to represent 08:49 them so that them know that we we thank them for their 08:52 service. And I believe that, you know, a lot of stands out 08:55 here. A lot of police presence, lotta, red, white and blue to 08:59 red, white and blue. We believe in that and we love this 09:02 country. And if you are part of I 3ABN family and you a 09:05 veteran, we want to recognize and honor you also for your 09:09 service. 09:10 [MUSIC] 09:14 >> That's yeah. Lauper song for Mister Obama and Mister Bob. 09:18 But we're grateful for his service and we're grateful for 09:21 your service. I think of many other within the ranks of 09:24 comedian who have served and those of you for watching. 09:27 We're grateful for your service for our country as well. 09:30 So that was a special night. 09:31 >> Yeah, you know anything about 3, then we reach 09:33 worldwide and think about all the different countries. 09:36 And those as you're watching, you may be a veteran, but we do 09:38 thank you for your service no matter where it is, what 09:40 country represent. But we just appreciate again, your service, 09:43 not thinking about where in the Lord's Army to our, you know, 09:46 representatives of him to this. We're talking about that this 09:50 evening about being in vans as the representative for the Lord 09:53 Jesus Christ. But again, thank you, Ian, for your service. 09:56 And of course, Mister Bobby others here that you said we 09:58 have here at 3, a B, a. 10:00 >> Absolutely. Another item we just wanted to mention briefly 10:03 as we came back just a couple weeks ago from our very first 10:07 3, a B in Raleigh since COVID before COVID. We're involved in 10:11 rallies often and we would go in. We would go to area 10:14 churches, take up a part of the team and speak and do music and 10:19 just have an incredible time.

You know, 15:48 we're just excited about, again, God's leading we can. 15:51 We're going to talk a little bit about the history. You 15:54 know, as you look back over the the story of 3ABN, and how God 15:58 has led. Mister Dan has been always a strong supporter of 16:01 when God opens the door, you better just stepped through. 16:03 Got to provide. The funds will provide the way. And then you 16:06 see how God has blessed the ministry of 3 a B. And so 16:09 again, we're just I'm just so excited to have to be honest 16:12 with you, because we've been talking about this for a few 16:14 months, even for maybe a couple of years. And it's like to talk 16:17 about now can talk about. I want to talk about it now, 16:19 but just not quite yet. But tonight's the night. So you're 16:22 going to hear some really exciting news, but them Pastor 16:24 James U.S. Open in prayer this evening. 16:28 >> Father in Heaven. Thank you so much for this opportunity to 16:32 share with our viewers, the vision you given to 3ABN as 16:35 they continue to expand and grow. As we see your hand 16:38 working in this ministry in our lives, we're just thankful for 16:43 everything you have been doing and continue to do be with us 16:47 now, fathers in the Holy spirit to guide our hearts and words 16:50 and the minds and hearts of each one. That's in the 2 16:53 ships. Great news about site 16:55 and that's taking place. And she said she's a state. 17:01 >> And there's a learning as we talk about 3 D hands, brand-new 17:06 school of disciple ship intensive. It's a one-week 17:10 in-person intensive taking place this fall. Let's go back 17:13 and get a little history and right. I think the Lord put it 17:17 on your heart, the vision for this several years ago. So talk 17:20 to us about how that came about. 17:22 >> Absolutely. Well, I think all of this starts kind of with 17:25 my journey back in 2012, 2013, as I was preparing a major life 17:31 transition from freshly graduating college education 17:35 major and the Lord just put on my my wife's heart, Stephanie, 17:39 in my heart that we wanted to be full in full-time ministry. 17:42 And so how that was going to happen. We didn't know. But we 17:44 wanted to be into involved in evangelism in some way, form or 17:47 fashion lone behold the Lord open the door for us to attend 17:50 the amazing facts, interventionism and then and so 17:54 got to give a shout out to my fall class of 2013 Abaco. 17:58 You know, we we with their myself, my brother, our wives 18:02 and our friend, Jordan. More now. Evangelist also for 18:06 amazing fact. My brother, amazing facts. Evangelist, 18:08 we all went there just again with the mindset of more. 18:12 We don't know what door you're going to open. We don't know 18:14 what it is that you want us to do. But we know that being 18:18 bench warmers is not an option. We were going to we want to be 18:20 involved, want to be out there spreading the good news in the 18:23 Gospel and learn how to become disciples for Jesus Christ to 18:26 do something about our faith. And so that's where our journey 18:29 being in. It lit a fire was already on fire, but it was 18:32 like they just Bello the arguments that what is it? 18:34 What's the little those yellows are those the they just below 18:37 that fire just bill? I mean, you just ignited in us. And so 18:41 that's kind of where my by journey began after Cole really 18:44 taught me, showed me what it truly means to be a disciple 18:47 for Jesus and helping put evangelism in its proper 18:51 perspective, the mission of what we're called to do and who 18:54 were called to be from Jesus Christ. And so from that moment 18:57 on, I just knew I love ask this is it's just always been in my 19:00 heart and soul. Fast forward now on the 5 years of 19:04 evangelism on the road out there as a full-time 19:06 evangelists. But the Lord Open the door for me to come to 3 19:08 ATS and I'll never forget, in fact, by the way, next week on 19:12 the first is going to be one exactly 5 years. I've been here 19:16 3 B a yeah. Haha official paperwork on 6/1/2018, but 19:24 anyways just coming here. And I remember my very first 19:27 week here gaining any van invited us over to their house. 19:30 And again, this is my kind of my very, very first visit with 19:33 2 with a rather than in the van and getting to know them. 19:36 And I think JD and showing was there was there was a house 19:39 full of people in and we just got to talking amongst 19:42 ourselves and just chatting about different ministry 19:44 opportunities. And I don't know what overcame me, but right 19:46 there in Danny's living room. I was like, you know what 19:49 I you know, it's tell about after Cohen, my journey, 19:51 I said, you know what? I think 3ABN could really benefit. 19:54 And I think of others would benefit if week 3 of you could 19:57 start their own eventually, some school of sometimes. 20:00 And, you know, I I was kind of the most respected somebody 20:04 like Dan, you're someone to say, well, you know, know it. 20:06 But Danny was very overlooking a that's a great idea. Perhaps. 20:09 You know, if it's the Lord's will it will happen fast for a 20:12 couple years. Haha, I let that kind of resonate my my heart. 20:16 You had become the president at this time. The any kind of 20:19 handed over the day-to-day president trying to get used to 20:21 you. So came that time or had to kind of muster up the 20:25 courage to just to give you a call and say, hey, can we set 20:27 up a meeting? We did get into your office? I had this little 20:30 pamphlet. I had may not pose a little proposal. And I just 20:34 give it to you. And we talked, I think from a couple that we 20:36 did. And again, it was just amazing because Grace is, 20:39 you know, I don't know what the future holds, but we're 20:41 definitely open to doing something like this. But 20:43 perhaps maybe right now is not the best time. But, you know, 20:46 let's develop this as we go along then COVID hit. It was 20:49 like, yeah, what we can do anything during COVID but in 20:53 the aftermath of COVID snow, we're talking 2021 into 2022, 20:58 we revisit that conversation. I think Pastor James, he came 21:01 on board them on board. And of course, Pastor James having had 21:04 to the experience in and start helping to start to rise School 21:09 of Angeles and him dealing with that and also raising up and 21:14 starting the ministry thereof like bears. It was just 21:16 powerful to have his influence and his his helping and 21:20 mentorship in developing this. We met with U a again. And then 21:24 before, you know, it was like, you know what, let's move 21:26 forward with the sea. Let's see what God is going to do. 21:29 So that's kind of a little bit of the history. And at first it 21:31 kind of was the 3, a B in school of evangelism. But then 21:34 as we do this myself and and and and James started talking 21:38 amongst each other, we decided, you know what this is the 21:40 school of disciple ship were to make disciples. And so that it 21:43 kind of brings me to the Bible are our Bible Commission was 21:46 famous words yet. Matthew Chapter? 28, what did Jesus say 21:50 as he was preparing to go back to the father? He came. This 21:52 final words has great commission to his disciples to 21:56 his church to us. And he says right there in Matthew. 28 21:59 versus 18 to 20. 22:01 He says all 40 has been given to me in heaven and on Earth. 22:04 And here's the commission's first 19 go, therefore and make 22:08 disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of 22:11 the father and of the son of the Holy Spirit, teaching them 22:14 to observe all things that I have commanded you. And lo I am 22:17 with you always even to the end of year that I love that ending 22:20 because it lets me know that Jesus, you've given us this 22:23 great commission. We don't have a clue. We don't know what 22:25 we're doing. But with your guidance with your help with 22:28 you, with us in the Holy Spirit leading us, we can fulfill that 22:31 commission. And so the 3, a B in school, a disciple ship is 22:35 has been berthed in. It's it's it. We're just we're so excited 22:39 about what's God's going to do. 22:41 >> In this amazing opportunity. We have all the details of the 22:44 date and everything. We're going to share those with you 22:45 in just a few moments. But Pastor James, go to your 22:48 testimony, your involvement, school evangelism school 22:50 disciple ship now and then we'll come to you, too. So we 22:53 have Pastor James. 22:56 >> So really excited about this. We've been I've been 22:58 involved in schools from the time. I first became a 7th day 23:02 Adventists 1985. I learned how to study the Bible. And it 23:07 really has impacted my life in ways that I don't even know. 23:11 All I know is that the fact that I mean ministry indictment 23:14 right now can be traced back to learning how to study the 23:18 Bible. And I had to go some to the course a couple of times 23:21 just to really get a handle on. And before I knew it, we were 23:25 developing a school at like theirs ministry. It was a very 23:29 short 2 week intensive. It was called the Bible says stepped 23:34 asked by Wilson School and we had to lay it aside for a 23:37 while. But fast forward, like you mentioned, Brian, to arise 23:41 arise was up and running when it joined or merged with like 23:44 theirs. In 2011, I just kind of stepped into a teaching 23:49 position in the school, learned a lot administratively learned 23:53 a lot as another school developed in Australia under 23:56 the rise umbrella and then that led into a disciple ship 24:02 position with the rise and that is following up with people 24:06 personally individually and so read that to the table. In 24:10 other words, what we were trying to do here is not just 24:13 having a school that's instructing but a school that 24:17 when we come alongside people, we help people to cycle people. 24:21 I know one week isn't enough time for all of that. You know, 24:25 cycling that is needed. All the destruction is needed, but it's 24:28 a start. That's where we're starting. 24:30 And I just can't emphasize enough to those that are 24:33 listening. What a difference it will make in your lives to 24:37 learn the basics in this school of disciple ship intensive the 24:43 basics of how to stay. The Bible are basic message 24:46 evangelism and then being able to so just draw close to some 24:52 of these instructors and learn from their experience. And the 24:56 persons that I think of when I think about this are found in 24:59 in Second Timothy Chapter. 25:01 >> 2 and of course, first team to carry not just Florida for 25:05 us for a study to show myself a prude and the God of overwork 25:09 and that he is not to be ashamed, rightly divide the 25:11 word of truth. But I want to start in verse one. Timothy is 25:16 basically a son of Paul in a sense of spiritual son, Thou. 25:20 Therefore, Paula, speaking to Timothy Thou there for my son, 25:23 be strong and agrees that is in Christ Jesus and the things 25:27 which you have heard of me among many witnesses, the same 25:31 commit to faithful man who should be able to teach others. 25:34 Also, I think about this hall is teaching Timothy. He's 25:38 teaching Timothy Scott leads things. That's that he himself 25:42 has said that things that haven't yet heard of other 25:44 faithful man. And he said, I want you now to be able to 25:47 teach those to others so that they can teach to others and 25:51 that verse 3 you can endure. Hardness is a good soldier of 25:55 Christ. A whole chapter is really informative, goes on to 25:58 talk about 25:59 the Church of God, which is the ground and pillar of the 26:02 troops. So sometimes you think of the church is a building. 26:05 It's much more than a billion people got his warning to raise 26:08 up an army of people that are grounded in the truth who are 26:11 able to receive and then teach others can grow cots kingdom, 26:16 which is people grow God's kingdom. And as Brian was 26:19 sharing theirs in a message of 28. So we are absolutely full 26:24 blown busting. That seems excited about this school and 26:29 all that we believe God is going to serve it. 26:31 >> Yeah. Men, tell us in your journey toast to your 26:35 testimony. Why are you excited about school disciple ship? 26:38 Well, 26:39 prior to this being announcer, me having any knowledge that we 26:42 were, you know, thinking about starting a disciple ship. 26:45 I went to the amazing facts center of vandalism as well and 26:49 also shout out the class of twenty-twenty to our haha. 26:54 But I remember when we are, you did a year we had a day of 26:59 prayer. Yes, and I remember you mentioned you mentioned 27:01 something about, you know, we're looking into the future 27:03 about starting a school. Vandalism are disciple ship. 27:06 And when you said I wasn't sure if I heard you correctly. 27:09 So it wasn't maybe like a week or so later I came to office 27:12 and asked if you had a moment to talk and you did and I 27:16 clarified with your new go. Absolutely. We do want to start 27:19 a school disciple ship with 3 ABN right there. And right then 27:24 and there I said, I want to be a part of it. And any capacity 27:27 does not matter. I just want to be involved and then AF Crow 27:31 came. And that was just incredible. So for me, having 27:34 gone to a school like Ryan and having been a part of something 27:37 like that in what it can do for you, because I it it wasn't 27:41 just a blessing for me to see what I needed to know and to 27:44 learn and to grow spiritually. But let me know how much more 27:48 but the world needs Jesus. How much more this? You know, 27:52 they need to know his love. They need to know is 27:54 compassion. They need to know that we offer given that he has 27:56 come for all of us and green. So when that happened, I was 28:00 fully on board. I think hair falls, you know, cleaning rooms 28:03 that matter. I just wanted to be a part of it and some way, 28:06 shape or form. And, you know, not long after that. I think 28:09 everybody kind of talk about undecided. Yeah, it would be 28:12 okay for me to join the team up so I can ask for, you know, 28:15 better mentors with with Ryan and James. It's just I'm 28:18 excited to be a part of this because I know the ripple 28:21 effect. It can have not just on people's lives, but then when 28:24 they go forth and share what they have learned, not just 28:27 knowledge wise, but also within them, spiritually. 28:30 >> What they can share with others and it's just going to 28:32 be and so impactful person or gasoline. I like the 28:35 illustration mission far as the ripple. No, because as a kid 28:37 had farm ponds and we throw a stone out there and you watch 28:40 that ripple starts all right. Get bigger and bigger and 28:42 bigger. And again, that's all about advances because about 28:45 train you not just about one dollars, but how to be a 28:47 disciple and how to disciple others. Go back to your 28:50 community, your church and make a difference for the Lord Jesus 28:53 Christ. So this school disciple ship is another avenue, 3 ABN 28:57 evangelism to reach the entire world. Let's talk about than 29:00 some of the details. Just withdrawn. Start with you. 29:03 Share the details. But what this will look like. 29:05 >> Absolutely. Well, obviously, you know, the the main purpose 29:08 of this is to make disciples. We can't emphasize that enough. 29:11 And this is an intense intensive. Obviously, this is a 29:13 seven-day intensive. Yeah. This is going to give you the 29:15 date snow. We're looking at October 6 through 14, 2023. 29:20 That's October 6 through 14, 2023 and during the seven-day 29:24 intensive work and it just kind of turn on the fire hydrant and 29:28 and what in a good way, not an overwhelming. I'm going to be 29:32 overwhelmed. But I think when you come to those of you who 29:35 apply and who come to be a part of this are going to be 29:38 tremendously blessed because the idea of making disciples is 29:42 not again, just coming in gathering information. This 29:45 isn't just about being instructed, you know, in 29:48 learning information, but rather coming in taking that 29:51 information and learning how to be equipped with it, to go out 29:54 and be a disciple, be a strong spiritual decide before Christ, 29:58 but then go out and further make Disciples for Christ, 30:01 which the evangelism aspect comes in as well. So we called 30:04 we our goal is to is to establish what is called the 3 30:08 e's. And that's something I really like about this city. 30:11 It's to edify students edify to equip into excel. So 5 students 30:15 with invigorating Bible study instruction, of course, to 30:19 equip them to be able to preach and to understand, to preach in 30:23 live out the 3 angels messages to the world and also to excel 30:27 in further making disciples for Jesus Christ. And so that's 30:31 kind of a general understanding of what our goal is in terms of 30:35 what we're trying to achieve here. But in terms of details, 30:38 there's a lot to discuss in terms of details. Yes, we know 30:41 people, lots of people have questions about how this is 30:43 going to go on. First of all, we want to discuss courses will 30:47 start their love. That was, of course, isn't what you would 30:49 learn if you're coming. Absolutely. So first and 30:52 foremost as we go through this list, of course, is I'm going 30:54 to read them off. He really, really clearly we can kind of 30:56 just describe each one. The Gospel is is this is all of 31:00 these courses are saturated with the Gospel. Our number one 31:03 goal is to uplift Jesus. Our number one goal, any any 31:06 goal of a should be the goal of any disciple ship school. 31:09 And that's certainly what we achieved with AF Co. I'm sure 31:11 that's exactly what arise achieves when they when they 31:14 teach their instruction to give instruction there to school. 31:17 But we're going to be looking at courses such as how to study 31:20 the Bible or very own. Pastor James Rafferty is going to be 31:23 taking of the students to an in-depth course on how to 31:26 properly study the Bible. How can your faith grow again? 31:30 The Bible says a faith comes by hearing the hearing by the 31:33 word. How can your faith truly grow into that mature in this 31:37 that you wanted to if you don't know how to actually rightly 31:40 divide the word of truth. And that's what Pastor James 31:42 Rafferty is going to be taking us through. And that's course 31:45 of how to study the bible. And of course, he's going to be 31:48 using scripture, the writings of l and wide. And he's going 31:51 to be an in incorporating great biblical Herman Unix and how to 31:54 make the Bible come alive and really be able to retain and 31:57 understand, you know, that the great themes of scripture. 32:01 Well, so you have a class on apologetics. Now this class is 32:05 going to be this is going to be a big one because this is an 32:08 opportunity for students to get involved. This is an 32:11 opportunity for students. All of these classes. We 32:13 encourage our students to ask questions of what but the 32:16 biblical apologetics is definitely one of those where, 32:19 you know, we have questions. We have those tough questions. 32:22 And sometimes it's not always easy to answer. One of the 32:25 greatest aspects of becoming a more mature disciple for Christ 32:30 is being able to ask those tough questions and receive 32:33 answers to those tough questions. And so we're going 32:36 to be looking at all of the major fundamental biblical 32:39 doctrines movement will obviously cover all 28 of them 32:42 in the seven-day intensive, but some of the major ones and a 32:45 lot of the questions, a lot of the challenging texting 32:48 passages surrounding those individual doctrines. They will 32:52 provide an opportunity for students to be able to engage 32:55 in some dialogue, some in be able to challenge them as well 32:59 and how to be able to understand the message, but 33:02 also how to be able to share that message as well. And of 33:05 course, at the center of this is, as we've learned from this 33:08 is why does that all of these troops are powerful, but with 33:11 but they in and of themselves hold no power if it's not 33:14 taught from the perspective of the cross. And so we're always 33:17 going to try to keep Jesus at the center because he is the 33:20 the epicenter of it all. We'll have a class, A talk on 33:23 church history by our very own Daniel, a pastor, Daniel 33:26 parent. And we're excited. We call him Doctor Daniel Perry 33:29 because he's just that sees a surge in when it comes to 33:32 teaching. And I think this is right down his alley. He's 33:34 going to be breaking down the church. History is going to get 33:38 into Adventist Church history. And how will the church came 33:41 about how the 70 and this movement came about and in in 33:44 helping us understand our mission as a people here in 33:47 these last days, a pastor James Rafferty's also going to be 33:49 taking on a course entitled the great controversy. So this is 33:54 what I love about him. I've been through some of the 33:56 courses of arise online and I love how they take that that 34:00 debt the step back and they look at the aerial narrative, 34:03 the overarching story of scripture and this great 34:07 controversy theme is just embedded all throughout. 34:10 And so many people fail to understand many of the major 34:13 teachings and aspects and elements of scripture because 34:17 they don't understand the very store, the very near to of 34:20 scripture and that great controversy theme that's found 34:23 from Genesis to revelation. So Pastor Rafferty is going to 34:26 be teaching a class on that in past. Give you an opportunity 34:29 here in a second to kind of develop some thoughts on your 34:32 on your classes. Miss Reese ear after he is going to be 34:35 teaching a class on a contender made for health. So we're going 34:39 to be looking at the gospels, right arm of the right on the 34:42 Gospel, a health reform and in the importance of the health 34:46 message in these last days, in the importance of health in 34:49 general and how in order for us to be able to serve. God is 34:52 great disciples. We need to learn how to not only take care 34:54 of ourselves, but also be able to help others and teach others 34:58 how they can take care of themselves as well. So an 35:00 entire but wonderful class on health. And then we have 35:03 central's of evangelism. Plus, we can't leave that out, 35:06 right when we learn all of this great stuff. We get all 35:09 impacting here and we're so excited about it. But you know 35:12 what, if we don't go out and share it with someone else and 35:14 it's not just going on in telling someone but doing it in 35:18 the right way. So sharing in in a methodical and tactful way 35:22 that's going to reach the heart and draw people to Jesus rather 35:25 than you know, you sometimes we can take this truth and we can 35:27 use it in a way. That's very, you know, you can hard harsh 35:32 and sometimes we can kind of chill people with it or push 35:34 them away with this entrails of evangelism is going to be for 35:37 the purpose of helping others understand how to share that 35:41 message appropriately. So that's kind of a general 35:43 breakdown of the forces that we're going to be sharing love 35:46 that those are powerful courses and 35:48 >> excellent teachers. You know, I just think it 3ABN, 35:51 we have gifted annoying to teachers. Pastor Ryan, a 35:55 pastor, James Rafferty, Daniel Perry, and we have received I 36:00 know Pastor John Lowe, McCain's on staff here, and we would 36:04 have been in this school, but he's actually traveling for 36:07 several weeks throughout the month of October. So we're not 36:09 able to include him in this particular school, but we will 36:12 in an upcoming. So, yeah, let's talk a little bit about some of 36:15 the nuts and bolts like what's the website? How come people 36:19 apply and how much does it cost? How how does that work? 36:23 >> OK, well, first and foremost, if you want to find 36:25 out a lot of the information, it's going to be on the website 36:28 which you can go to which is 3 D and S O D DOT org. If you 36:33 come across something you don't understand your you want a 36:35 little bit more information. You can always e-mail us at 36:38 contact Sodhi at 3ABN Dot org. So those are the 2 ways that 36:43 you can kind of get some basic information from us. But when 36:47 you have on the website, you need to go on there and you 36:49 need to apply. And as you go through the application, 36:54 you'll see it on there. There is a $30 suggested donation 36:57 application fee and but there are 2 options as far as 37:01 attending the school. So there's 2 different tuitions 37:04 that are set up for. And what you can do is there is one for 37:08 $400. If you need housing that we can housing here at 3, 37:12 a B. And we're also going to be providing no meals for for 37:16 people that want to come here for breakfast. And 37:19 >> but it's a lunch and dinner. Well, actually, it's going to 37:21 be breakfast and lunch break. That's riker their own dinner 37:25 because they want to go out and do something to be together. 37:27 So we get an opportunity for that. 37:28 >> Right. So if you need housing, there's a cost for 37:31 that. And it's $400 suggested donation for the course. 37:34 Otherwise. If you can house yourself, maybe you want to 37:37 bring an RV or you want to stay in a hotel that's up to you. 37:39 Whatever it is that you want to do. The cost for that would be 37:43 $250 suggested donation. But if there's things that you 37:46 don't see on the website or in the application process and 37:49 you're still on shore and your e-mail that you can also call 37:52 us because our call centers open tonight. So we're always 37:56 open through Monday through Thursday to normal business 37:58 hours. Also, you can contact us at 618-627-4651. So if you have 38:04 any other questions, any concerns that kind of the nuts 38:07 and bolts, the nitty-gritty of it? So yeah, just reach out to 38:11 us will be more than happy to help you. 38:13 >> Yeah, absolutely. I appreciate all 3 of you, 38:14 gentlemen, your vision and your time and your organization make 38:18 all this happen. Remember, we're talking about it earlier 38:20 this year about let's make it happen when we schedule our 38:24 schedule 3. But he's actually pack are working on stuff for 38:27 2020 for 2025. And so it's easy to say, well, you know, let's 38:30 do this cool to be a disciple ship, you know, next year or 38:33 the following year. Something like that is like, no, this 38:35 make it happen this year. Well, 38:37 house people on campus Coven ordeal because the housing here 38:40 are 3 avn news for like speakers that come in. Those 38:43 are on programs and that sort of things. There's been a lot 38:46 of juggling. But, you know, the Lord worked all that out. 38:49 >> And this is happening and to help me out on this, I think is 38:52 it one week after our fall camp the week after fall camp media 38:55 at all, Candy, we have one week we turn everything around and 38:59 we get right Friday night, October 6, 3 Min School, 39:02 a disciple ship intensive launches. 39:04 >> So tell me a little bit about the housing says pardon 39:06 to be some question for somebody like when you meet 39:08 housing, what does that mean? You're talking like a place to 39:10 put my tent. 39:11 >> Are you talking like haha over my head with the flush 39:14 toilet out where you know how that works. But that would be 39:16 option to $250, right? Yeah, right. 39:21 >> But explain a little bit more cause some people to know 39:23 that the transportation aspect, the food, you know, what type 39:25 of food you talking like, you know, a peanut butter and jelly 39:28 sandwiches or you know what, what's what's happening here? 39:30 Because this, you know, yes, with some of thinking about 39:32 coming to windows, actually, as much as I'd love peanut butter, 39:34 jelly sandwiches. And but yet, so as far as the housing 39:38 aspect, if they come here with, you know, like you mentioned, 39:41 we have to be in housing where a lot of times we bring our 39:43 speakers and are singers and musicians. And so if you want 39:46 to come here, well, our house you there's a kitchen in their 39:49 bathroom and their everything that you need. 39:51 >> Lennon's provided the sheds or on the who they are. They're 39:56 beautiful apartments. 39:57 >> So it's not, you know, a motel or in, you know, 40:01 something that's run down or anything like that. It's it's 40:03 very nice. Housing are going to everything that you need to be 40:07 here for it. But as far as if like I mentioned with option 2, 40:11 if you do want to, you know, camp out because I know where 40:14 we might have some people here for that camp meeting. That's 40:16 right. It's a over, you know, and maybe they want to stay and 40:18 take the class right after who knows, you know, but they can 40:21 camp they can bring their RV good. We do have sites for 40:24 that. They can hook up so, but they will have everything taken 40:27 care of as far as housing. And then we will have the feels 40:31 like we mentioned before. Well, its vegetarian meals. 40:34 That's right. So it's and they're going to be fantastic 40:36 made by our very own Kim Wolf. Wolf, a new team she came here 40:40 to to this thompsonville area, not all that long ago. And let 40:44 me tell you, she's been a blessing to the church and 40:46 she's been a blessing, the 3ABN. And I know she's going to 40:49 be incredible as far as you know, coordinating all of this 40:52 cooking because it's going to be a lot of mouths to feed us 40:55 and she's going to do a wonderful job. 40:57 >> And the pressure, James, when I come to you, because 41:01 there have been some talk early on about, yes, we do is 41:03 virtually rights make everything was virtual, a 41:05 virtual. This virtual that we've in this virtual can't is 41:08 because people can come here in person. But tell us the 41:11 importance of why this is important for action to have an 41:14 in person event. Let's talk about that 9, 0, run and talked 41:17 about some of your courses. Some talk to us about that as 41:19 well. 41:21 >> Yeah, just coming alongside people actually got back to 41:24 return from court here last week. It's a school 10 month 41:27 school in Pennsylvania conference in the first year 41:30 that I did that schools for years ago. It was, you know, 41:34 the Internet. And so it wasn't on site and what a difference 41:39 it makes when you're is there in person. This is the reason 41:42 why not only you teaching the classes, but 41:46 this interaction takes place like right now I want to screen 41:50 and I'm watching all of that fund interaction you guys are 41:53 having and I'm just back here kind of in fall but not 41:57 involved, so to speak. And that's the way it is in school 42:00 situation. If you're just watching on a screen, you're 42:03 involved in getting information, but you're not 42:05 getting the experience. And I just want to say that probably 42:09 50% of your learning and growing and maturing. It's 42:16 going to be in your experience during the school, rubbing 42:19 shoulders of people interacting with people, not just with the 42:23 teachers, but also with your fellow classmates. Bonding 42:26 takes place. There you connect with people. Some of those 42:29 connections are going to be a the terminal in the sense that 42:33 you can make friends during the school and you're going to stay 42:36 in contact to encourage one another and help one another 42:38 and pray for one another. But then you have the actual 42:42 ability in interaction and asking questions and what we're 42:47 going to be doing. You know, Ryan, myself, you all feel very 42:50 strongly about this. And of course, we'll pass this on to 42:53 all of our instructors. It's not just about class time. 42:57 So we're going to have time out of class for each one of us is 42:59 going to be available. And we want to say there's always 43:02 going to be someone available outside of class. Talk to you 43:06 to pray with, to interact with, to share, you know, to to get 43:09 more to get as much as you can out of this whole experience. 43:12 So we're really seeing the importance. I remember not to 43:16 ski. This example. I don't know. You know, not for sake of 43:20 the 7 yourselves together is what keeps Chapter 10 says. 43:23 And I I remember after COVID the first time we were back in 43:27 church actually removed to a location right now the for 7th. 43:31 We can't hear that we had here. Was that your first a church 43:34 was open. We went to church and we begin the fellowship for the 43:38 first time in months. And I remember this. Even then we 43:42 couldn't sing Psalms hymns. We were a lot of the same, 43:45 but we had a mask on. But I remember the first day that we 43:49 say humans together and I literally my eyes started 43:53 leaking and I didn't realize how important in fellowship 43:59 contact and singing and studying together was how much 44:02 it impacts us. And so we're just thinking that this is 44:06 going to be such a powerful experience. This is what we're 44:09 going to need. Computers have their place. I wouldn't even be 44:13 part of this money for war for computers trying to beat us, 44:15 you know, unable to attend. But 44:18 I would love to be sitting at the end of this table in a 44:21 chair in person rather than being on a screen here. And 44:25 it's the same way with the school is going to be a whole 44:28 different level of experience to have an in-person school and 44:31 God is a God is in the baton. And by the way, you know, 44:35 in a sense, you know, God is looking forward to today to the 44:39 day when he is going to do well with us. We're going to see his 44:44 face, not just his reflection in the Bible. We're going to 44:47 see his face in person who is going to say that's going to be 44:52 amazing the way the other then you know what we had so far, 44:56 not that we have so far is great. You know, we want to 44:58 have that relation with God, but to see him in person. 45:01 >> Good knock it out of the park and the and the. 45:04 >> And then some of the courses to a pastor. James, I know is 45:07 going to like a lot of light homework and all kinds of tests 45:10 and exams. And I want to be staying. I try and do all the 45:13 home or tell us little about your courses. Of course, 45:15 the house is actually going to work. 45:18 >> Well, I'll tell you, we were when we first started, I had 45:20 was obvious love revelations. So I was doing, of course 45:23 revelation. That's my book of Revelation. Love Daniel. 45:26 I started thinking about I started thinking about 45:29 how much a simple course and how to stay. The Bible changed 45:33 my life. She is and how important that foundation and 45:37 it makes such a difference. So when I get in my class on 45:41 speaking for the House, a Bible as well as the great conversely 45:44 class, 45:45 the there will be very little homework. We're going to try to 45:48 cover everything in the class. Good. And the reason for that 45:52 is to part number one is I know that for some people it's going 45:57 to take going over this a few times to get down. Once you 46:01 understand how the state of Iowa have all the nuances of 46:03 that figured out, 46:05 you can go anywhere in the Bible with confidence. You can 46:08 look up first the section that read, you can look at Hebrew. 46:12 You can do cross reference e you can study here a little. 46:15 There is little and I want all of that to be done in the 46:17 class. I don't want anyone to feel like on the got to go 46:19 home. They're going to try to figure out, you know, read all 46:22 the stuff that you got all the stuff on the road and come back 46:24 to class to get another letter. I want us to have the question 46:28 answer the interactive, all of the problem solving right there 46:32 in the class. And by the way, some of the students are going 46:35 to contribute to the morning about the students. They're 46:37 going to be asking the questions that may be another 46:39 student would mask. You wouldn't think of or they're 46:42 going to be you do we need to things that are going to be 46:44 beneficial to other students. All that's going to take place 46:47 in the class as far as how to say goodbye. Good. 46:50 >> Man, that's wonderful because that's foundational. 46:52 If you understand how to study the Bible, you can study 46:55 anything within the word of God is right. We probably should 46:57 have done the sooner but we have a promo that it's put 47:00 together. I want to play Ricky did a great job with that. 47:04 He works here at 3ABN and Ryan and the rest of the team that's 47:07 putting that together. But this is just give you a sneak peek 47:10 of the 3ABN School of Deception. 47:13 >> Are you longing for a deeper understanding of the Bible? 47:16 Do you find yourself hungering for a more meaningful Christian 47:19 experience? Perhaps the desire a stronger, more intimate 47:22 relationship with God and to be equipped with the knowledge of 47:25 becoming act. 4 witness for Christ when you need to apply 47:28 for the 3, a B in school. A disciple ship intensive today 47:32 during this week, long intensive people dive deep into 47:34 biblical apologetics, evangelism essentials, health 47:37 Ministries, Church history. And you'll even learn how to 47:40 study the Bible. Like never before. 47:42 This powerful intensive than helping put each student to 47:45 becoming more confident in spill disciple of Christ. 47:48 Join our mission in spreading the everlasting gospel of the 3 47:51 just messages. This is an in person event where students 47:55 will stay on the 3ABN campus to learn more and to apply for the 47:59 3 Indian School disciple Ship Intensive. Visit our website at 48:02 3 A B and S O C DOT org again. That's 3ABN S O D DOT org. 48:08 Apply today spaces with it and don't miss out his life 48:12 changing opportunity. 48:14 >> I love that. Now. Is that apply today? Because space is 48:17 limited. So explain to me what that means, right? 48:20 >> Okay. Yes. So obviously it is, you know, really, truly put 48:26 in that work for true disciple ship. We wish that we could 48:28 spend time with everyone. We wish we could open it up to 48:31 thousands, but obviously space is limited. We want to be able 48:34 to have that true disciple ship time in which we're able to 48:37 spend as instructors as staff members to have that one-on-one 48:40 time or small-group time. And so we're we're we're 48:43 capping it off at 40. And the reason why that is because we 48:47 felt like that wasn't a good number of ballots number to be 48:49 able to for all of us to remain grounded and committed to be 48:53 able to give our time and our effort and not having too much 48:56 too many, too many people, the class, because we have too many 48:58 sometimes, you know, there's just people get also so much 49:02 going on. You're not able to answer all the questions are 49:04 not able to to address people individually in their concerns 49:07 and questions. And so we felt like the others got to be that 49:10 personal connection. Disciple ship is key here. A part of 49:13 disciple ship is being able to counsel to be able to pray 49:16 with, to be able to answer those questions that they need 49:19 in order to gain a much more mature approach to not just the 49:22 mission of what we're called to do and who were called to be, 49:25 but also a much more mature approach to the church, the 49:28 body of Christ in which we are part of an so 40 people as 49:32 we're going to cap it off now, understand we're going to be 49:34 doing Lord willing, you know what, we hope to do many more 49:37 of these. And so if you apply again, and I just want to 49:40 emphasize this also encourage everyone to apply. But 49:43 obviously we're going to be the only taking the 40, but we're 49:46 looking for serious people, serious people that want to 49:49 take their spiritual walk to the next level. Someone who 49:52 says I want to be fully devoted. I I don't want to be a 49:55 bench warmer. I want to be I want to go out there and I want 49:58 to I want to be a disciple for question. I want to make 50:00 disciples for Jesus Christ. And so they were looking for 50:03 the calebs in the in the David's in the, you know, 50:06 the strong men and women of Christ that are ready to say, 50:08 you know what, sitting idle is not an option. Yeah. And so was 50:12 going to be hopefully more opportunities in the future for 50:14 us to do more of these in which if you don't get in this time, 50:17 maybe you'll get in the next time or maybe the time after 50:19 that. But keep trying, keep applying. Ah, but it's going to 50:22 be it's going to be a great spirit. I promise you win with 50:25 the students who come to this school. We are going to leave 50:28 just transformed. I believe that I left after coach 50:31 transformed and then he left and he left after a transfer, 50:35 obviously in and Pastor James experience to the schools into 50:38 his own growth experience. This is a transforming aspect. 50:42 When you become a disciple and then learn how to make 50:45 disciples for Jesus. It's the greatest work in the world. 50:48 And it's just it's amazing. That's we're excited about what 50:50 that's going to do. And your wife, Stephanie, serving as the 50:52 registrar. Yeah, as well. So when you fill out those 50:55 applications, it's going to go immediately to the Registrar, 50:57 my wife, Stephanie Day. She's going to be helping to organize 51:00 all of that so that myself and James can begin working through 51:04 the application process isn't. 51:05 >> And selecting students and all that. So so you tell us a 51:08 little bit about the application process them 51:10 because some may say, OK, so we're giving Web size. I don't 51:12 do websites.

And then of course, 52:08 talking about again, those different options, $400. 52:10 >> Yes, option one would be the $400 for wheelhouse. You will 52:14 also provide food for you and everything else. An option to 52:17 is if you want to house yourself, you want to bring a 52:18 camper and and do it that way. Then it would only be $250. 52:23 >> I want to talk just a moment because some people are saying 52:25 why can't come in person for whatever reason we encourage 52:28 you to come. We encourage you to apply. We encourage you to 52:31 go to 3ABN side DOT org and check out the the coursework in 52:37 the day's schedule and the teachers and the description in 52:41 the mission statement in download that application. 52:44 But if for whatever reason you're not able to, you can 52:47 still pray for the school, you can pray for people's lives to 52:50 be changed in got to bring the right people to the school. 52:54 You can support financially support either the school or 52:59 we've established a worthy student fund. Maybe there's 53:02 people who want to come and they say, but I can't afford to 53:05 calm all of that process. We want to establish a worthy 53:09 student fund so you can go online right now to 3ABN that 53:14 TV and you can donate if you if you click on the donate tab. 53:19 Scroll down. Fund to code for 91 is just for the school. 53:23 A disciple ship Fund code for 92 is the word the student 53:28 program. And that's to help support other people to come to 53:32 the school for themselves. Or you can always call us at 53:35 3ABN 6, 1, 8, 67, 4, 6, 5, 1, in say, yes, I want to support 53:41 the school. I want to support other people who can come in, 53:44 who can become law. 53:46 >> I just want to speak on that for a moment. You know, this is 53:47 for everyone. This is all ages. And so this is not just for 53:50 young folder. It's not necessarily for that more 53:53 seasoned folks. You know, this is for everyone, anyone, 53:56 there's not an agent and we were there is an age a minimum. 54:00 We will obviously want to start with adults. 18 or older is 54:02 what we're looking for. Not that we discriminate or not, 54:05 that we would even completely came out, maybe a 16 year-old a 54:08 17 or 15 year-old. But that would have to be a special case 54:11 basis to after we've been able to do a little bit of 54:14 background check and to to to look into the situation with 54:16 the young person, but 18 or owners. We're shooting for all 54:20 ages. And I just want to emphasize here that, you know, 54:24 there may be someone right now this is you know what I would 54:26 like. I would like my granddaughter migrants, honor 54:28 my daughter, my whoever, maybe you want to sponsor some of 54:30 this is that opportunity. There's a young person, perhaps 54:33 maybe that needs or you may be have a mother, a father or an 54:36 aunt and uncle, a friend is someone that really needs this 54:39 experience that has expressed a desire to take their spiritual 54:43 walk to the next level. 54:45 SOT is here. What's odd is the place to be. And so 3 be in 54:49 school, disciple ship going appliance. It's a it's going to 54:51 be an incredible experience. And I promise you it's going to 54:54 be life changing forever. 54:56 >> Now, I want to kind of just also say as far as the 54:58 finances, 54:59 one of the things that I was tall because I asked myself the 55:01 same question before I went to Africa, I said, I don't know. 55:04 You know, I can't afford that. There's no way I'm going. 55:06 I'm going to go. 55:07 And actually it was Ryan's brother, Dakota who reached out 55:11 to me and I was talking to him. And he said, well, you know, 55:13 if it's God's will, is God's bill. 55:16 And I kind of just ran with it. I was like, you know what? 55:18 You're right and things kind of worked out and I was able to 55:21 go. So if you want to attend, honestly, if God wants to have 55:24 you here, 3ABN school disciple ship, he will have you here and 55:28 you'll be incredibly blessed. 55:29 >> And and then, yeah, thank you very much.
