Hello and welcome back
to 3ABN Behind the Scenes.
00:00:12.77\00:00:15.21
We're so glad
that you've joined us.
00:00:15.31\00:00:16.85
You know Jill, it seems like
the first hour always goes by
00:00:17.11\00:00:19.48
really fast and the second
hour just speeds up from there.
00:00:19.48\00:00:22.05
So 3ABN Behind the Scenes
is all about evangelism, about
00:00:22.62\00:00:26.19
what 3ABN is doing.
00:00:26.19\00:00:27.19
To reach the world. In the first
hour, if you missed it, you can
00:00:27.62\00:00:30.39
always go to 3ABNplus.tv and
you can catch the first hour if
00:00:30.39\00:00:34.20
you missed it.
00:00:34.20\00:00:35.00
You can watch
it video on demand.
00:00:35.00\00:00:36.43
We're talking about
3ABN School of Discipleship.
00:00:36.87\00:00:39.33
And again, it just, to me,
it just adds to what 3ABN is all
00:00:39.63\00:00:43.04
about.
00:00:43.04\00:00:46.34
gospel to the world.
00:00:46.34\00:00:47.34
But this 3ABN School of
Discipleship to me is just
00:00:47.44\00:00:49.81
absolutely so exciting because
it's bringing people here to
00:00:49.81\00:00:53.25
3ABN on campus, and
we're teaching them how to be
00:00:53.25\00:00:55.85
disciples; how to go back
to the local community and be
00:00:55.85\00:00:58.52
missionaries; to be
evangelists there in their local
00:00:58.52\00:01:00.99
communities.
00:01:00.99\00:01:04.83
School of Discipleship, but
you can also be an evangelist.
00:01:04.83\00:01:08.70
And I want to just remind
you that we have many resources
00:01:08.70\00:01:12.67
here at 3ABN.
00:01:12.67\00:01:13.74
I think about Mr. Danny's
books; the Focus on Truth
00:01:13.80\00:01:16.17
series.
00:01:16.17\00:01:19.37
Church Affirm LGBTQ?
00:01:19.37\00:01:20.84
A great booklet.
00:01:21.51\00:01:22.61
And we provide these booklets
to you mainly for just the
00:01:22.71\00:01:26.11
shipping.
00:01:26.11\00:01:28.62
Christian Church Affirm that?
00:01:28.62\00:01:29.78
I believe, Jill, that's
like $28 a case shipped anywhere
00:01:29.78\00:01:34.16
here in the United States of
America, and there are 200 books
00:01:34.16\00:01:37.96
in a case.
00:01:37.96\00:01:39.03
I mean, that's an incredible
evangelism opportunity.
00:01:39.09\00:01:41.40
Many of you like
passing out the books.
00:01:41.90\00:01:43.80
I was talking
to a lady recently.
00:01:43.83\00:01:45.53
She's over in actually Bermuda,
and it takes quite a bit of
00:01:45.83\00:01:50.04
expense to get those books
to her and she gladly pays them.
00:01:50.04\00:01:52.61
She says, "I just love passing
out Mr. Shelton's booklets".
00:01:52.64\00:01:55.78
She said, "the opportunities
that God provides for me is
00:01:55.78\00:01:58.91
absolutely incredible".
00:01:58.91\00:01:59.58
Well, this lady is
almost 90 years of age.
00:02:00.18\00:02:02.55
I should say young, 90 years
young, but she's all excited
00:02:02.58\00:02:05.99
about evangelism.
00:02:05.99\00:02:07.02
So to me, there's no age
that we should be afraid of
00:02:07.12\00:02:09.46
evangelism and say,
00:02:09.46\00:02:10.66
"Ah, evangelism is not for me".
3ABN is all about evangelism.
00:02:10.96\00:02:12.39
And thank you so very much for
partnering with this ministry.
00:02:12.43\00:02:16.30
I think about also testimonies
also that you can share.
00:02:16.70\00:02:20.07
That's a way to witness
for the Lord Jesus Christ.
00:02:20.27\00:02:22.27
But the second hour, Jill, we
switched out, had some musical
00:02:22.37\00:02:24.57
chairs.
00:02:24.57\00:02:26.88
That's right.
00:02:26.91\00:02:30.25
hour because some of them
have been here several years.
00:02:30.25\00:02:32.91
Oh, yeah, a long time.
00:02:33.25\00:02:33.85
That's right.
00:02:33.85\00:02:34.68
We still have Mr.
Danny and Dr. Yvonne.
00:02:34.68\00:02:36.65
So we're delighted you all are
still here for the second hour.
00:02:36.72\00:02:39.69
And coming around the table
here, we have Jason Bergman,
00:02:40.72\00:02:43.26
our CFO and his beautiful wife,
Francine, Aunt Francine, who is
00:02:43.29\00:02:48.93
the Kids
Network General Manager.
00:02:48.93\00:02:50.20
I'm so glad you both are
joining us the second hour.
00:02:50.43\00:02:52.30
It's an honor.
00:02:52.90\00:02:53.44
Thank you.
00:02:53.57\00:02:54.10
It's great to be here.
00:02:54.10\00:02:55.14
Coming around
the table some more.
00:02:55.64\00:02:56.97
We have my sis and mom, Shelley
Quinn, and Yvonne's my mom.
00:02:57.21\00:03:00.94
So I got several moms.
00:03:01.04\00:03:01.91
You have moms.
00:03:02.24\00:03:02.64
Yes.
00:03:03.45\00:03:03.98
So Shelley Quinn, Program
Development Manager, Producer.
00:03:04.65\00:03:07.48
And we're so glad
you're here tonight, too.
00:03:07.62\00:03:09.08
It's such a blessing to be here.
00:03:09.35\00:03:11.79
I was talking to
JD, your husband.
00:03:12.92\00:03:14.16
He's the, of course, the
manager of our 3ABN Pastoral
00:03:14.42\00:03:16.52
Department.
00:03:16.52\00:03:19.79
sprout, which, you know,
he likes to plant a garden.
00:03:19.79\00:03:21.46
And so this is springtime
here in southern Illinois.
00:03:21.73\00:03:23.67
And he was planting those
little seeds and he said they
00:03:23.67\00:03:25.10
were coming up.
00:03:25.10\00:03:25.73
You know what's
interesting, though?
00:03:26.10\00:03:27.34
He had old seed that the first
that he did, nothing came up.
00:03:27.34\00:03:33.27
These are heirloom seeds, but
the newer seeds are coming up.
00:03:33.31\00:03:36.95
And I thought,
man, that'll preach.
00:03:36.98\00:03:38.71
Sometimes the word that we've
had in us from the past, we
00:03:40.02\00:03:43.69
forget about it.
00:03:43.69\00:03:44.92
And it isn't blossoming.
00:03:44.92\00:03:46.19
You got to get into the
seed of the Word every day.
00:03:46.35\00:03:51.13
Yeah, praise the Lord.
00:03:51.66\00:03:52.49
Yeah.
00:03:52.69\00:03:55.10
Amen.
00:03:55.56\00:03:55.96
What a blessing.
00:03:55.96\00:03:56.20
Go ahead.
00:03:56.33\00:03:59.13
We were talking about
first hour with School of
00:03:59.23\00:04:02.40
Discipleship.
00:04:02.40\00:04:03.00
Incredible testimonies.
00:04:03.20\00:04:04.34
The people who came to the
School of Discipleship, they
00:04:04.51\00:04:07.61
shared their testimonies of how
God had worked in their life.
00:04:07.61\00:04:10.78
And many of them, how
3ABN had been integral in their
00:04:10.85\00:04:15.58
accepting Jesus, or changing
lifestyles, or finding truth in
00:04:15.58\00:04:21.42
the Word of God.
00:04:21.42\00:04:22.59
So we're launching a new
program, which will be all
00:04:22.59\00:04:26.83
about featuring
3ABN testimonies.
00:04:26.83\00:04:30.03
Amen.
00:04:30.07\00:04:33.84
It's going to be a program
that will air on 3ABN that will
00:04:34.14\00:04:37.01
showcase these testimonies.
00:04:37.01\00:04:38.31
We're sending crew remote on
the road, and they're going to
00:04:38.51\00:04:41.71
get these testimonies.
00:04:41.71\00:04:42.91
But in addition, we're going to
use it for our 40th anniversary
00:04:42.98\00:04:46.35
program.
00:04:46.35\00:04:46.85
These longer testimonies,
nobody can edit like Brad
00:04:47.62\00:04:50.59
Walker.
00:04:50.59\00:04:53.29
Take all the meat of everything
they shared, put it into 60
00:04:54.09\00:04:58.23
seconds.
00:04:58.23\00:04:59.06
And we're going to air a
different testimony every day,
00:04:59.39\00:05:02.36
leading up to our 40th
anniversary, which is this Fall
00:05:02.76\00:05:05.60
in November.
00:05:05.60\00:05:06.30
So 40 years of
changing lives for eternity.
00:05:06.77\00:05:10.51
So a different
testimony every day.
00:05:10.81\00:05:11.94
And then also then we'll
also get to hear during the 40th
00:05:12.04\00:05:14.91
anniversary program in November
of this year, the actual long
00:05:14.91\00:05:17.98
version of that 60
seconds Jill was talking about.
00:05:17.98\00:05:20.08
We're going to
get the long version.
00:05:20.08\00:05:21.08
So those little 60 seconds
are kind of little teasers as to
00:05:21.32\00:05:23.89
what's coming on actually
the anniversary day program.
00:05:23.89\00:05:26.86
But Mr. Danny, 40 years
3ABN has been in existence.
00:05:26.96\00:05:30.43
Praise God for that.
00:05:30.56\00:05:31.53
It seems impossible.
00:05:31.63\00:05:32.46
And from the idea which
will be this coming November.
00:05:32.86\00:05:35.90
And I'm so thankful I was
sitting here the first hour
00:05:37.20\00:05:39.87
listening to all
the folk who were here.
00:05:39.87\00:05:42.14
And I already know their
testimony and their dedication
00:05:42.40\00:05:47.21
to the Lord and to what
we call the Bible message.
00:05:47.21\00:05:50.45
Some people say the Adventist.
00:05:50.61\00:05:51.75
No, it's the Bible message.
00:05:51.75\00:05:53.15
And I thought about the
difference in 3ABN and like SOD
00:05:53.45\00:05:57.45
is right now we are to reflect
the character of God as Seventh
00:05:57.45\00:06:02.92
-day Adventist Christians,
as Christians in general.
00:06:02.92\00:06:04.96
We should be reflecting the
character of God to the world.
00:06:05.26\00:06:08.90
But sadly, much of the church
is reflecting the character of
00:06:08.96\00:06:14.00
current culture and politics.
00:06:14.00\00:06:15.87
And so that's making its way in.
00:06:15.87\00:06:19.01
So there's coming a
dividing that's happening.
00:06:19.41\00:06:22.34
So I want to thank each and
every one of you who say, "you
00:06:22.81\00:06:26.78
know what?
00:06:26.78\00:06:27.18
God's Word doesn't change".
00:06:27.45\00:06:28.75
So no matter what all this
is happening with politics and
00:06:29.08\00:06:32.39
current culture, we're going
to stick to the Word of God.
00:06:32.39\00:06:37.76
We're going to stick there.
00:06:37.96\00:06:38.89
The message hasn't changed.
00:06:39.13\00:06:40.56
We've said through the years
that it's not the messenger
00:06:40.93\00:06:43.87
that's important.
00:06:43.87\00:06:44.63
It's the message.
00:06:44.67\00:06:45.57
So thank you, Greg and Jill and
for our leadership or board and
00:06:46.47\00:06:49.80
for each and every one of
you who said we're on board and
00:06:49.80\00:06:53.11
those of you at home that
says we're not going to play the
00:06:53.11\00:06:56.78
games.
00:06:56.78\00:06:57.38
We're not going to go here.
00:06:57.45\00:06:58.05
We're not going to go there.
00:06:58.35\00:06:59.38
And you brought out some books
like this last one, Can the
00:06:59.58\00:07:03.62
Christian Church Affirm LGBTQ?
00:07:03.62\00:07:05.72
And just this week, I literally
talked to someone in person who
00:07:05.95\00:07:09.59
said, "I was raised homosexual
by a homosexual couple.
00:07:09.59\00:07:13.06
I was basically abused and
blah, blah, blah, most of my
00:07:13.06\00:07:16.56
life.
00:07:16.56\00:07:20.57
split up".
00:07:20.57\00:07:21.27
So I didn't get the whole story.
00:07:21.74\00:07:23.84
But he says, "I was trying to
prove from the Bible that it's
00:07:23.91\00:07:28.58
okay.
00:07:28.58\00:07:28.91
Homosexuality is okay.
00:07:29.34\00:07:30.41
But he said I was out in the
farm, literally had headphones
00:07:30.75\00:07:34.35
on driving equipment.
00:07:34.35\00:07:35.58
And somebody sent me" my ex, he
said, "sent me an email and this
00:07:35.98\00:07:41.09
said, you need
to listen to this.
00:07:41.09\00:07:42.42
It was your sermon.
00:07:42.42\00:07:43.36
He said on LGBTQ
plus at camp meeting".
00:07:43.86\00:07:47.83
He said "it changed my
life, it changed my life.
00:07:48.00\00:07:50.57
And that's why I'm here today".
00:07:50.63\00:07:51.73
So he was here last week.
00:07:52.17\00:07:53.30
That's why I'm here today
because that then he said, I
00:07:53.50\00:07:56.44
started listening to
the Sabbath School panel.
00:07:56.44\00:07:58.04
And when I heard that, I said,
I got to hear more what these
00:07:58.07\00:08:01.48
people are teaching.
00:08:01.48\00:08:02.28
So he became a 3ABN inner.
00:08:02.54\00:08:04.98
And so last week he was here
and I was privileged to meet
00:08:05.41\00:08:09.05
him.
00:08:09.05\00:08:12.75
continues to give and praise
the Lord for that, because
00:08:12.75\00:08:16.12
that's what brings about
the shaking and is a straight
00:08:16.12\00:08:19.66
testimony.
00:08:19.66\00:08:23.60
the great ladder rain
that's going to be poured out.
00:08:23.60\00:08:25.73
But we have to stick with the
Word of God, be direct in what
00:08:25.73\00:08:25.77
God has given us.
00:08:30.54\00:08:31.57
We can't be looking around us,
going to the left or the right
00:08:31.81\00:08:36.08
stick with a message and thank
you all for your leadership and
00:08:36.08\00:08:39.55
all of you, you for what you do.
00:08:39.55\00:08:41.88
And for those of you
who's supporting 3ABN as we
00:08:42.08\00:08:45.19
continue to take this
undiluted, three angels
00:08:45.19\00:08:47.89
messages into all the world.
00:08:47.89\00:08:49.69
You know, Mr. Danny, you know,
you've seen the miracles and
00:08:50.33\00:08:52.19
this is again, just praising
God and thanking you at home.
00:08:52.19\00:08:54.50
But, you know, Mr. Danny, it's
interesting how God in just the
00:08:55.50\00:08:57.67
nick of time
provides for the needs.
00:08:57.67\00:08:59.13
Jason, I mean, you're CFO,
you see the finances every day,
00:08:59.17\00:09:01.40
just in the nick of time.
00:09:01.70\00:09:02.77
And again, we've just been
seeing this in just the most
00:09:03.04\00:09:05.71
recent weeks, just the last
couple of weeks where God is
00:09:05.71\00:09:08.44
providing in the most
miraculous ways when you don't
00:09:08.44\00:09:11.71
expect it.
00:09:11.71\00:09:12.48
And I've been thanking the
Lord, Jason and I had a prayer
00:09:12.91\00:09:14.88
in my office, oh, a week or so
ago, and we were just thanking
00:09:14.88\00:09:17.62
the Lord for what he's
going to be doing, right?
00:09:17.62\00:09:19.69
Because he's seen this ministry
through all these years, Jill
00:09:19.69\00:09:22.69
and I every day talk about that
and we say, thank you Lord for
00:09:22.69\00:09:25.56
providing for our needs today.
00:09:25.56\00:09:26.83
And what's so neat is that
there've been people, you at
00:09:27.13\00:09:30.40
home have written checks a week
before and it shows up on the
00:09:30.40\00:09:35.04
day that we're like, "God,
you've got to do something,
00:09:35.04\00:09:37.01
please, just, you know, show
the direction", and there it is!
00:09:37.04\00:09:40.61
And that's just
absolutely incredible.
00:09:40.94\00:09:42.81
I know you've seen it for
almost 40 years, but for us to
00:09:42.84\00:09:45.88
be here in these seats and
to see that, you talk about
00:09:45.88\00:09:49.88
encouragement.
00:09:49.88\00:09:50.39
Wow, you know what?
00:09:50.72\00:09:51.89
I don't know if there's, I
can't stand up on the set right
00:09:52.09\00:09:55.49
now.
00:09:55.49\00:09:57.99
hands up or bow down before the
Lord and say, "God, thank you
00:09:57.99\00:10:01.10
for caring".
00:10:01.10\00:10:02.06
Yeah, you are faithful to
this ministry and thank you for
00:10:02.30\00:10:05.93
listening to the Holy
Spirit as He impresses you.
00:10:05.93\00:10:08.07
You don't know the specific
prayers we're praying here.
00:10:08.34\00:10:10.34
God hears our prayer.
00:10:10.67\00:10:11.57
He hears you at home
saying, "what can I do"?
00:10:11.91\00:10:13.88
And God says, "send this".
00:10:14.34\00:10:15.88
And we're here praying at 3ABN
saying, "God, please provide our
00:10:16.24\00:10:18.91
need, you know, right here,
this specific amount" and there
00:10:18.91\00:10:21.35
it shows up.
00:10:21.35\00:10:22.02
That is awesome, right?
00:10:22.22\00:10:23.35
To serve a God like that.
00:10:23.45\00:10:24.75
And then you think about
the message like Mr. Danny said,
00:10:24.79\00:10:27.86
it's not a
Seventh-day Adventist message.
00:10:28.19\00:10:29.52
Yes, it is, but it's a Bible
message that 3ABN proclaims to
00:10:29.52\00:10:33.19
the world and
it's changing lives.
00:10:33.19\00:10:34.63
Talking about these stories,
that young man you're talking
00:10:34.66\00:10:36.83
about.
00:10:36.83\00:10:40.07
here also from Australia
during COVID, maybe share that.
00:10:40.07\00:10:43.44
That was incredible.
00:10:43.44\00:10:44.31
Yeah, she was reading in the
Word of God, not an Adventist
00:10:44.97\00:10:48.68
reading in the Word and
she stumbled across Hebrews.
00:10:48.68\00:10:51.81
And you know what talks
about the Sabbath rest and the
00:10:51.95\00:10:54.38
remains for God's
people of Sabbath rest.
00:10:54.38\00:10:56.22
And she said,
what is this Sabbath?
00:10:56.62\00:10:58.49
I don't understand that.
00:10:58.49\00:10:59.65
So she went to her computer
and she typed in Google the word
00:10:59.65\00:10:59.69
"Sabbath" hit enter.
00:11:03.69\00:11:05.69
3ABN Sabbath School Panel came
up on YouTube and she started
00:11:05.83\00:11:09.43
watching it.
00:11:09.43\00:11:10.67
And she said, I discovered and
learned the truth in the Word
00:11:10.67\00:11:13.90
of God.
00:11:13.90\00:11:14.77
And she was baptized.
00:11:14.77\00:11:15.97
She's from Melbourne, Australia
baptized and came here to the
00:11:16.00\00:11:20.38
School of Discipleship
to be trained further.
00:11:20.38\00:11:22.14
So I don't know, let's just
talk a moment and whoever wants
00:11:22.98\00:11:26.05
to jump in.
00:11:26.05\00:11:26.82
What does that
do for your faith?
00:11:26.82\00:11:26.85
Seeing these miracles
of whether God providing
00:11:27.78\00:11:31.79
financially for this ministry
or seeing the hearing the
00:11:31.79\00:11:35.49
testimonies of people whose
lives have been changed through
00:11:35.49\00:11:38.56
the ministry.
00:11:38.56\00:11:40.80
The woman you were speaking
of grew up as a Hindu and had
00:11:41.86\00:11:46.10
become convinced in God.
00:11:46.10\00:11:49.70
But then for her, she was so
excited because she didn't have
00:11:50.51\00:11:54.88
the funds to get here, but her
church paid her way to come here
00:11:54.88\00:12:00.35
because they
knew she was on fire.
00:12:00.35\00:12:02.98
And it's so exciting to me
because I know what it was like
00:12:03.22\00:12:07.06
when I found truth.
00:12:07.06\00:12:08.39
And that
actually was before 3ABN.
00:12:08.42\00:12:10.86
But I was a Sabbath keeper for
two years before I was watching
00:12:11.26\00:12:16.70
3ABN.
00:12:16.70\00:12:17.53
But I was clueless on prophecy.
00:12:17.83\00:12:20.37
So that was when I started
watching 3ABN everything God
00:12:21.00\00:12:25.87
was teaching me was what
the same Bible truths of the
00:12:25.87\00:12:29.18
Adventist church.
00:12:29.18\00:12:29.94
But what you know is God is
the same yesterday today and
00:12:30.31\00:12:34.15
forever.
00:12:34.15\00:12:34.48
He does not change.
00:12:34.85\00:12:36.05
There is no
shadow of turning in God.
00:12:36.15\00:12:38.72
He never turns away from his
plan of righteousness by faith.
00:12:39.39\00:12:43.59
He is the same from
Genesis to Revelation.
00:12:43.86\00:12:47.20
And when you see some people
say, "oh, he did all of these
00:12:47.66\00:12:51.67
things in the past".
00:12:51.67\00:12:52.70
When we see it today, it just
makes your faith; no matter...
00:12:52.93\00:12:56.77
And when you don't see it
happening, you know even if God
00:12:56.84\00:13:00.44
is silent, you know he's there
and he's ready to step forward.
00:13:00.44\00:13:06.11
That's amazing.
00:13:06.45\00:13:06.98
That's right.
00:13:07.28\00:13:07.75
I think to me knowing that God
wants to be intimately involved
00:13:08.65\00:13:16.99
in all of our lives and
every aspect of our lives.
00:13:16.99\00:13:20.80
That's so encouraging when you
know all these miracle stories
00:13:21.03\00:13:25.17
like you're praying over
here that God will provide.
00:13:25.17\00:13:28.64
And the check's
already in the mail.
00:13:28.67\00:13:30.57
It's already in the
mail because He never stops.
00:13:31.41\00:13:35.51
There's a song that I listen to
a lot about how God never stops
00:13:36.18\00:13:43.65
working.
00:13:43.65\00:13:44.15
The Way Maker.
00:13:44.25\00:13:45.05
He's a way maker, miracle
worker, promise keeper, light
00:13:45.65\00:13:49.96
in the darkness.
00:13:49.96\00:13:50.79
That's who our God is.
00:13:51.23\00:13:52.79
To hear these stories is
so reinforcing of our faith
00:13:52.79\00:13:52.83
because it shows us that
God has always had a plan.
00:13:58.00\00:14:03.17
In the Word, it talks about
we're working on a book about
00:14:03.27\00:14:06.51
abortion and how God has always
had a plan for every human
00:14:06.51\00:14:11.58
being.
00:14:11.58\00:14:12.05
There's a plan.
00:14:12.35\00:14:13.08
So if we walk in our divine
destiny, you know we realize
00:14:13.55\00:14:18.39
the fruit of that plan.
00:14:18.39\00:14:19.92
But if we don't, if
we veer to the left,
00:14:20.56\00:14:22.12
He still works to bring us back.
00:14:22.12\00:14:24.43
He's just such a
great, great God.
00:14:25.16\00:14:27.86
And so when we see all these
things happening here and I get
00:14:27.96\00:14:31.27
excited about all of the
initiatives that 3ABN has, the
00:14:31.27\00:14:36.54
languages, the Bibles for
prisoners, all of these things.
00:14:36.54\00:14:41.88
It's just to me, it's so
exciting because we are living
00:14:42.28\00:14:46.21
in the last days for sure.
00:14:46.21\00:14:48.15
And it's such a privilege for
all of us because we're not the
00:14:48.22\00:14:52.69
only ones here.
00:14:52.69\00:14:56.42
So it's such a blessing to
be working together, to be co
00:14:56.89\00:15:00.70
-laborers with Christ in
these last days and watch how He
00:15:00.70\00:15:05.07
works.
00:15:05.07\00:15:05.33
It's amazing.
00:15:05.50\00:15:10.74
He knows our hearts
and knows our needs.
00:15:11.64\00:15:13.81
So you guys are praying and the
Lord already knew you're going
00:15:13.84\00:15:17.25
to be praying.
00:15:17.25\00:15:21.75
send it.
00:15:21.75\00:15:24.65
The beauty of that though
is that because I've seen this
00:15:24.92\00:15:27.62
happen over and over in my life
is that you say, well, if He
00:15:27.62\00:15:31.59
already knows what we need
and He's going to send it, why
00:15:31.59\00:15:34.23
pray?
00:15:34.23\00:15:37.50
If you weren't praying, you
might just take it for granted
00:15:38.07\00:15:40.87
and you're not going
to be dependent upon.
00:15:40.87\00:15:43.64
We're totally
dependent upon Him.
00:15:43.84\00:15:45.51
But that's the beauty of you
pray and then you think, "Lord,
00:15:45.57\00:15:49.34
you already knew" but you
recognize it's God's hand.
00:15:49.38\00:15:52.75
That's me.
00:15:53.08\00:15:53.62
The Lord humbled me once.
00:15:53.72\00:15:55.25
I'll say this quickly.
00:15:55.25\00:15:56.35
No, it's good.
00:15:56.42\00:16:00.96
We were at the point they
were going to shut the satellite
00:16:01.16\00:16:03.76
down.
00:16:03.76\00:16:04.33
We never had that happen.
00:16:04.39\00:16:05.36
So the satellite's down.
00:16:05.39\00:16:07.36
We're off the air.
00:16:07.66\00:16:08.86
And so that morning we talked
with Molly and we prayed and
00:16:09.13\00:16:13.27
Molly Steenson and
so we prayed about it.
00:16:13.27\00:16:15.20
And I was getting ready to come
and do a program, so she said
00:16:15.37\00:16:23.08
"the mail will be here,
somebody's going into the post
00:16:23.08\00:16:25.48
office. And I said,
"don't worry about it.
00:16:25.98\00:16:27.68
That $90,000 will
be here in the mail".
00:16:28.12\00:16:29.98
So I come back out of the room.
00:16:30.45\00:16:31.92
I'm just confident.
00:16:32.05\00:16:32.82
I just know
it's going to happen.
00:16:32.99\00:16:34.29
I come back from the program
and I go in the office and I
00:16:34.79\00:16:37.89
say, "Molly, how
are we doing today?
00:16:37.89\00:16:39.76
She says, $10,000.
00:16:39.83\00:16:41.53
And I said, $10,000, that's all?
00:16:42.30\00:16:44.47
She said, "yeah".
00:16:44.93\00:16:48.34
don't have some money", you
know, $90,000, "we're going to
00:16:48.34\00:16:52.34
shut this down".
00:16:52.34\00:16:52.94
We'd never been that close.
00:16:53.01\00:16:54.44
So I said,
something's wrong with this.
00:16:54.84\00:16:56.95
So either we've
done something wrong.
00:16:57.18\00:16:59.05
We're doing something
because it's not God's fault.
00:16:59.31\00:17:01.65
So he's promised
to supply every need.
00:17:01.85\00:17:04.19
So as I was talking to her,
she was in actually next to Mom
00:17:04.35\00:17:08.96
Ford when she was
here, going through the mail.
00:17:08.96\00:17:12.06
I noticed there was just
one envelope on her desk and I
00:17:12.89\00:17:16.06
said, "what's that envelope"?
00:17:16.06\00:17:17.53
And she said, "oh, that's
the one that came in certified".
00:17:17.63\00:17:20.30
And she said, "that's certified,
00:17:21.24\00:17:22.97
I just left it on here".
And I said, "would that come in
00:17:23.17\00:17:25.97
today's mail?
00:17:25.97\00:17:26.07
"Yes".
00:17:26.27\00:17:26.71
And so I said, "who
is it certified to"?
00:17:27.21\00:17:29.51
And she said, "Oh yeah, I forgot
that you have to sign this".
00:17:29.54\00:17:32.71
So I opened it up and
there was a check for $90,000.
00:17:32.95\00:17:37.09
Somebody that we didn't
know, isn't that something?
00:17:38.09\00:17:40.26
Literally $90,000 that very day
and that one check it was still
00:17:40.32\00:17:46.83
going through.
00:17:46.83\00:17:50.77
But that one check now could
have been $50,000, could have
00:17:51.13\00:17:54.70
been $5, we didn't know.
00:17:54.70\00:17:56.87
It was $90,000
exactly what we needed.
00:17:57.07\00:17:59.71
So we called the company and
said, "hey, look, we have the
00:17:59.77\00:18:02.98
money.
00:18:02.98\00:18:05.45
We'll wire it".
00:18:05.58\00:18:08.52
But that's how God supplies.
00:18:08.58\00:18:10.49
He knows your needs
before you even ask something.
00:18:10.69\00:18:13.29
And I think you made a good
point because, the more we see
00:18:13.46\00:18:18.03
these miracles, I don't
want to say you expect it.
00:18:18.03\00:18:21.23
It's not the right way to say
it, but it's almost like I know
00:18:21.63\00:18:25.90
God's going to pull
through because he's faithful.
00:18:25.90\00:18:28.07
We've seen it and you
see it constantly again.
00:18:28.20\00:18:31.14
And so sometimes when
somebody is a little worrisome,
00:18:31.31\00:18:34.04
sometimes I just say,
"watch what God does".
00:18:35.58\00:18:37.91
It's like, I know
something's going to happen.
00:18:38.45\00:18:40.65
I don't know what, but it's
almost like you almost want to
00:18:40.85\00:18:43.79
tell them, "hey,
be on the lookout".
00:18:43.79\00:18:46.05
God's working.
00:18:46.96\00:18:47.62
I mean, we've
seen it so many times.
00:18:48.29\00:18:49.99
It could be financial.
00:18:50.09\00:18:51.13
It could be just a
little prayer of a little child.
00:18:51.23\00:18:52.93
I mean, it's almost where I
can't say you expect it, but
00:18:53.96\00:18:59.07
God is so faithful.
00:18:59.07\00:18:59.93
And I said, God never changes.
00:19:00.04\00:19:02.00
I actually put that in my notes.
00:19:02.10\00:19:03.41
God never
changes no matter what.
00:19:03.47\00:19:05.37
And so I see that as a
theme already today that God is
00:19:05.57\00:19:09.44
there.
00:19:09.44\00:19:09.98
He's constantly there for you.
00:19:10.15\00:19:11.71
And he wants the best for you.
00:19:11.71\00:19:14.48
What I love about Jesus is that
he wants to partner with us.
00:19:14.72\00:19:19.55
And if we consider ourselves
stewards, then it's really His
00:19:20.39\00:19:24.46
job to supply
all the needs for us.
00:19:24.46\00:19:26.26
If we're going to be good
managers of what He has given
00:19:26.76\00:19:29.26
to us, then it's really His
job to provide all the needs.
00:19:29.26\00:19:33.47
So, you know, I've had people
have asked me, "aren't you
00:19:34.47\00:19:36.60
nervous about the finances?
00:19:36.60\00:19:37.91
Aren't you concerned about?...
00:19:38.04\00:19:39.54
And I have learned I'm working
for the church and working for
00:19:40.14\00:19:44.41
the Lord that our
responsibility is to be good
00:19:44.41\00:19:48.02
stewards.
00:19:48.02\00:19:48.48
But we have grown our
faith here at 3ABN even more so.
00:19:49.48\00:19:52.22
I will have to say that
the miracles that have happened
00:19:55.92\00:19:59.53
here in the last, almost six
years that I've been here, has
00:19:59.53\00:20:03.23
been remarkable to see how God
uses the resources, the way we
00:20:03.23\00:20:10.64
manage, the way we're very
efficient in what we do here.
00:20:10.64\00:20:15.51
And thanking you for all the
donations is an understatement.
00:20:16.51\00:20:21.08
Thank you for listening to the
Lord as we have prayed, as we
00:20:21.92\00:20:25.89
have considered our needs here.
00:20:25.89\00:20:28.06
But it takes a partnership.
00:20:28.16\00:20:30.39
And the Lord wants us
to be a partner with Him.
00:20:30.86\00:20:33.16
He wants to see that joy,
but also that it's not us that's
00:20:33.33\00:20:38.13
doing it at all.
00:20:38.13\00:20:38.73
We have a responsibility to be
willing, but it's the Lord that
00:20:39.57\00:20:43.24
is the one that's in charge.
00:20:43.24\00:20:44.74
And, you know, accountants are
very structured and, you know,
00:20:45.81\00:20:49.44
we like things just so, and
we watch the money and we love
00:20:49.48\00:20:54.38
planning.
00:20:54.38\00:20:58.62
great, we can throw them
out the window most of the time.
00:20:58.62\00:21:00.92
But it helps us to know
that Jesus is in control when we
00:21:00.92\00:21:06.23
rely on Him.
00:21:06.23\00:21:07.30
And even though the finances go
down and up, it's great to see
00:21:07.46\00:21:12.13
how we pray and before we
finish praying, the Lord has an
00:21:12.13\00:21:17.17
answer.
00:21:17.17\00:21:17.57
And that
encourages us, of course.
00:21:18.01\00:21:21.84
And trusting all
the more that He will.
00:21:21.84\00:21:23.68
But of course, because that,
you know, that helps us for the
00:21:23.68\00:21:26.25
next time.
00:21:26.25\00:21:31.29
love for us, we get to trust
Him more for the next time that
00:21:31.29\00:21:36.89
happens.
00:21:36.89\00:21:37.56
So, you know, it's a real
blessing to be able to see
00:21:38.03\00:21:41.00
what's going on, see all the
miracles, see all the donations
00:21:41.00\00:21:44.07
coming in from you.
00:21:44.07\00:21:45.07
And it's just a real blessing
to manage that and see how the
00:21:45.33\00:21:49.30
money goes and
how much we more need.
00:21:49.30\00:21:53.24
And thank you for
doing a great job.
00:21:53.24\00:21:55.91
Man, that's a great job.
00:21:56.24\00:21:56.75
Thank you.
00:21:57.08\00:21:57.58
You do a great job.
00:21:57.58\00:21:58.08
Praise the Lord.
00:21:58.18\00:22:01.95
know if we should
call it expectations.
00:22:01.95\00:22:03.62
You know, in the Greek,
the word "hope" means "eager
00:22:03.69\00:22:08.96
expectation".
00:22:08.96\00:22:10.06
And I think of Romans 15:13,
that says "the God of all peace
00:22:10.16\00:22:14.86
has poured out hope into our
hearts so that we overflow with
00:22:15.60\00:22:21.34
hope".
00:22:21.34\00:22:27.61
presumptuous, but
we've got this hope in God.
00:22:27.61\00:22:31.18
That the anchor for our
soul is the hope that we have in
00:22:31.25\00:22:35.35
Him.
00:22:35.35\00:22:39.09
he has led us in the past.
00:22:39.09\00:22:40.59
So sometimes when it's looking
like, "oh, is this the time, oh
00:22:41.09\00:22:45.59
Lord"?
00:22:45.59\00:22:49.56
I think it's a good word.
00:22:50.30\00:22:51.47
That's good.
00:22:51.47\00:22:53.10
And there are times we have
to check ourselves, are we doing
00:22:54.07\00:22:57.74
what God really wants us to do?
00:22:57.74\00:22:59.44
Are we in the right direction?
00:22:59.94\00:23:01.51
That's correct.
00:23:01.51\00:23:05.75
of your needs according to
his riches and glory, but he
00:23:05.75\00:23:08.98
doesn't bless corruption.
00:23:08.98\00:23:10.02
God blesses, you
know, our pure hearts.
00:23:10.35\00:23:13.25
So when we're doing the best we
know how and trying to continue
00:23:13.36\00:23:17.73
to keep, that's the one thing,
Shelley, that over 40 years,
00:23:17.73\00:23:21.66
because we're an independent
ministry; we're not part of
00:23:22.13\00:23:27.74
officially, the
Seventh-day Adventist Church.
00:23:27.74\00:23:29.37
We're our own 501 C(3), Three
Angels Broadcasting Network
00:23:29.87\00:23:33.71
Incorporated.
00:23:33.71\00:23:34.51
And a lot of people feel
like that when they give to the
00:23:34.91\00:23:38.05
church, well that
goes to the media.
00:23:38.05\00:23:39.85
You know, It is written,
Breath of Life, Amazing Facts,
00:23:40.25\00:23:42.88
whatever, all the
different ministries.
00:23:43.05\00:23:44.89
They don't even realize that
we're a separate ministry and
00:23:45.09\00:23:48.89
we're dependent.
00:23:48.89\00:23:49.69
And I think about
it at times, Yvonne.
00:23:50.03\00:23:51.73
I think with all of the social
media, with all the ministries,
00:23:51.86\00:23:57.27
with everything going, somehow
God still sees what's happening
00:23:57.50\00:24:03.00
here.
00:24:03.00\00:24:03.47
He's still providing the needs.
00:24:03.71\00:24:05.81
And I believe again, it's
because the message, the people
00:24:06.14\00:24:09.58
accused us of a lot of things,
but over the 40 years, no one
00:24:09.58\00:24:13.05
has said, well, you guys
have changed your message.
00:24:13.05\00:24:15.32
You've lost your vision.
00:24:15.48\00:24:16.69
It's going.
00:24:16.69\00:24:22.09
our team here,
we're all in one accord.
00:24:22.22\00:24:24.49
We really are.
00:24:24.63\00:24:25.59
This is the message, which this
is where we were founded as a
00:24:25.86\00:24:29.23
church, as you
know, back in 1860s.
00:24:29.23\00:24:31.80
So when we look at it,
you don't find this following
00:24:31.80\00:24:34.44
culture, you know, preaching
culture, preaching politics.
00:24:34.44\00:24:38.07
I'm going to say what the
Word of God says, whether it's
00:24:38.17\00:24:41.11
popular or not.
00:24:41.11\00:24:42.04
And God honors that.
00:24:42.21\00:24:43.68
So I would encourage
you at home, stand up.
00:24:44.01\00:24:46.41
When you see things in your
church, you're a watchman on a
00:24:46.51\00:24:48.78
wall.
00:24:48.78\00:24:52.49
And I'd add one
little element to that...
00:24:53.12\00:24:55.66
It's not, I mean, it is
definitely the message, but
00:24:55.96\00:24:59.89
there is also the idea that
your heart is give, give, give
00:24:59.89\00:25:07.00
to other ministries,
promote other ministries.
00:25:07.00\00:25:09.77
And, you know, God says,
given it will be given to you.
00:25:10.31\00:25:13.01
Good measure, press
down, shaken together.
00:25:13.04\00:25:15.61
And I think that's something
that, you know, just people
00:25:15.94\00:25:19.61
say, "how can you all raise all
this money for all these other
00:25:19.61\00:25:23.25
ministries"?
00:25:23.25\00:25:23.95
But I love what you
said in the beginning.
00:25:24.42\00:25:27.02
We don't worry about the
size of the slices of the pie,
00:25:27.76\00:25:31.33
because God's got more
pies in the refrigerator.
00:25:31.43\00:25:33.43
That's right.
00:25:33.93\00:25:38.27
depending upon
him and trusting him.
00:25:38.27\00:25:40.70
Amen.
00:25:41.10\00:25:44.41
for 3ABN, and he continues
to provide for you too.
00:25:44.41\00:25:47.11
Amen.
00:25:47.21\00:25:49.58
praise the Lord
program, isn't it?
00:25:49.58\00:25:51.28
I just want to share this too.
00:25:51.81\00:25:53.21
I know we have a lot of things.
00:25:53.28\00:25:54.22
We've got about
half an hour left.
00:25:54.32\00:25:55.38
We've got to talk about
camp meeting, Costa Rica, the
00:25:55.45\00:25:57.35
eclipse, and a lot of things.
00:25:57.35\00:26:00.16
that just took
place about two weeks ago.
00:26:00.16\00:26:02.42
We have, of course,
3ABN broadcast on satellite.
00:26:02.92\00:26:05.73
We do internet, radio, and
there's a lot of companies that
00:26:06.19\00:26:08.93
are what we call IP
delivery TV cable stations.
00:26:08.93\00:26:11.90
So they deliver it through,
let's say, Roku and stuff like
00:26:11.90\00:26:14.84
that.
00:26:14.84\00:26:18.27
Southeast out to the Midwest.
00:26:18.27\00:26:19.71
Well, they were just bought out
by a much larger company that
00:26:20.34\00:26:23.95
would have a much
bigger footprint, may we say.
00:26:23.95\00:26:26.45
So we're like,
wow, praise the Lord.
00:26:26.58\00:26:28.35
Then Dr. Mo comes into my
office, Moses Primo, Director
00:26:29.05\00:26:31.52
of Broadcasting Engineering,
and says, "Greg", he said, "look
00:26:31.52\00:26:34.39
at this contract here".
00:26:34.39\00:26:35.49
So we're looking at the
contract and this company that
00:26:35.69\00:26:38.43
bought out the other one.
00:26:38.43\00:26:39.23
They said, "You know what?
00:26:40.06\00:26:41.23
We charge everybody else.
00:26:41.23\00:26:42.76
We're going to charge you too".
00:26:42.96\00:26:44.07
It came out to $100,000 a year.
00:26:44.30\00:26:47.57
The other company didn't charge
us at all to be on their whole
00:26:48.07\00:26:51.37
system,
Southeast to the Midwest.
00:26:51.37\00:26:53.27
This new company that
bought them out, much bigger.
00:26:53.64\00:26:55.68
They said, "we're
going to have to charge you.
00:26:56.01\00:26:57.28
We're charging everybody else".
00:26:57.38\00:26:58.55
Did all the
math, about $100 ,000.
00:26:59.11\00:27:01.22
I looked at Dr. Mo and I
said, "Dr. Mo, that's a lot of
00:27:01.48\00:27:04.42
money.
00:27:04.42\00:27:04.69
He said, "I know".
00:27:05.62\00:27:06.12
He said, "you know what?
00:27:06.19\00:27:06.82
Let's pray.
00:27:06.96\00:27:07.56
And then I'm going to
go back to the new owners".
00:27:08.06\00:27:10.09
I prayed.
00:27:10.56\00:27:11.26
He goes back to the new owners.
00:27:11.43\00:27:12.79
Moses comes into my office.
00:27:13.56\00:27:14.46
You know how he is.
00:27:14.46\00:27:15.56
Just comes to my office, really
no expression on his face, but
00:27:15.70\00:27:17.40
I could see a smile on his face.
00:27:17.40\00:27:18.90
And he said, "Praise the Lord!
00:27:19.47\00:27:20.60
He said, "Greg, they
didn't reduce the cost,
00:27:21.27\00:27:23.74
they decided to do
it entirely for free".
00:27:23.87\00:27:25.61
Praise the Lord.
00:27:28.01\00:27:28.91
A much bigger footprint.
00:27:29.24\00:27:30.41
They said, "We're going to
follow what the other company
00:27:30.75\00:27:31.98
did for you guys.
00:27:31.98\00:27:32.85
You know what?
00:27:33.05\00:27:33.72
We're not going to
charge you a penny".
00:27:33.92\00:27:34.78
Not a penny.
00:27:34.95\00:27:37.35
States".
00:27:37.35\00:27:37.65
Not a penny.
00:27:37.95\00:27:38.59
We talk about those
miracles that take place.
00:27:38.95\00:27:42.19
I'm getting goosebumps right
now because Dr. Mo and I were
00:27:42.42\00:27:44.73
having to praise
the Lord in my office.
00:27:44.73\00:27:46.76
Praise God.
00:27:46.93\00:27:49.70
But I'm going to say this too.
00:27:50.00\00:27:50.90
It was like, nope, a
hundred thousand dollars?
00:27:51.13\00:27:52.50
Do you know what?
00:27:52.57\00:27:54.84
that's what we needed.
00:27:54.84\00:27:55.47
So man, that's where just
God works in miraculous ways.
00:27:56.17\00:27:59.21
You talk about
building a young man's faith.
00:27:59.24\00:28:01.18
This young man, I tell you
what, he's encouraging like
00:28:02.04\00:28:03.98
you're saying.
00:28:03.98\00:28:04.71
We have
expectations, don't we, friends?
00:28:04.85\00:28:05.88
See for the future how God's
going to continue to provide
00:28:06.05\00:28:08.35
and work these
miracles for 3ABN.
00:28:08.35\00:28:09.62
28 minutes left.
00:28:10.22\00:28:11.19
That's all we
have in this program.
00:28:11.32\00:28:12.42
Camp meeting.
00:28:13.39\00:28:15.16
talk about next?
00:28:15.16\00:28:16.52
Oh, please, babe.
00:28:16.52\00:28:16.99
Yes.
00:28:17.09\00:28:18.86
I'm just so humbled that
God wants to use us in spite of
00:28:20.66\00:28:26.53
us.
00:28:26.53\00:28:26.57
You know, when you look at
your heart, you say, wow, God, I
00:28:27.84\00:28:31.61
know that there's areas
you still want me to surrender.
00:28:31.61\00:28:33.81
I know that there's growth
that still needs to happen.
00:28:33.94\00:28:36.54
I know I still have to go back
and apologize, you know, when I
00:28:36.54\00:28:40.18
step out of line or do
something that wasn't within
00:28:40.18\00:28:42.92
God's will.
00:28:42.92\00:28:46.79
Not just Greg and me, not
just us sitting at the table.
00:28:47.26\00:28:50.46
I'm talking God wants to
use the camera people here.
00:28:50.63\00:28:52.93
God wants to use what's
happening in every single
00:28:52.96\00:28:55.70
department.
00:28:55.70\00:28:56.26
God wants to use you at home.
00:28:56.40\00:28:58.67
That's good.
00:28:58.67\00:29:03.67
God, would you
use me for your glory?
00:29:03.67\00:29:06.88
Would you use me
for your kingdom?
00:29:07.41\00:29:10.21
Would you
somehow pour through me?
00:29:10.85\00:29:13.85
a weak, frail human vessel, that
the gospel could go around the
00:29:14.38\00:29:19.79
world.
00:29:19.79\00:29:21.06
So you are... nothing you
have ever done or could do.
00:29:21.79\00:29:26.19
God can forgive.
00:29:26.59\00:29:27.56
God can restore.
00:29:27.76\00:29:29.16
God can use you in ministry.
00:29:29.66\00:29:32.40
He wants to use you in ministry.
00:29:32.40\00:29:34.47
So let's talk
about Camp Meeting...
00:29:35.00\00:29:36.27
Preparation for the
Final Crisis.  Shelly...
00:29:37.01\00:29:39.31
Great theme.
00:29:39.64\00:29:40.54
It is a wonderful theme.
00:29:40.94\00:29:42.51
And we thank, our 3ABN
Latino had this theme and then
00:29:43.11\00:29:46.65
we just kind of took it.
00:29:46.65\00:29:47.78
We did.
00:29:47.78\00:29:48.12
Made it our own.
00:29:48.52\00:29:49.45
But June 5 through 8, June 5th
through 8, mark your calendars.
00:29:51.25\00:29:56.49
We hope that you will be here.
00:29:56.49\00:29:58.36
I think our RV spaces
are filling up very quickly.
00:29:58.73\00:30:01.83
This is going to be a
very special Camp Meeting.
00:30:01.83\00:30:05.50
Each time it's over, we're
saying, "oh, that's the best
00:30:05.73\00:30:08.70
Camp Meeting ever".
00:30:08.70\00:30:09.24
That's true.
00:30:09.74\00:30:10.34
That's what the
people are saying.
00:30:10.74\00:30:11.97
But June 5 through 8, we've
got some music hour beginning on
00:30:12.54\00:30:17.58
Wednesday night, the 5th.
00:30:17.58\00:30:18.95
Larry Gatlin's going to be
here telling his testimony.
00:30:19.51\00:30:22.72
And there's a lot... 
I'll let you address that.
00:30:23.65\00:30:25.65
But we've got Ladye Love and
Reggie Smith and we've got some
00:30:26.09\00:30:30.96
all of our wonderful singers.
00:30:30.96\00:30:32.79
We will start
at 6 p.m. [Central]
00:30:33.53\00:30:36.43
on that Wednesday, June 5.
00:30:36.67\00:30:39.40
And then at 7, the topics, I'm
just going to run through real
00:30:40.14\00:30:44.21
quick, and give you topics and
preachers because that's a good
00:30:44.21\00:30:48.58
way to do it.
00:30:48.58\00:30:49.34
Can we trust Bible Prophecy?
00:30:50.25\00:30:52.48
That's such an important topic.
00:30:52.61\00:30:54.45
John Lomacang will be preaching.
00:30:54.55\00:30:56.69
Satan's Great Light is next.
00:30:56.69\00:30:59.45
That's Pastor Ron Kelly,
who will be visiting with us.
00:30:59.85\00:31:03.83
Then on Thursday,
00:31:04.59\00:31:07.36
we're having our prayer circle
that starts at 6:30am where
00:31:11.20\00:31:15.74
people get together and pray.
00:31:15.74\00:31:17.11
Then free breakfast, free lunch.
00:31:17.87\00:31:19.77
Boy, this is good food too.
00:31:20.01\00:31:21.68
At 9 a.m., it's God's
Astonishing Rescue Plan,
00:31:21.68\00:31:26.95
That's Sebastian Braxton.
00:31:27.02\00:31:28.22
Then, The Beast
Wars Against the Saints.
00:31:28.92\00:31:31.69
That's you, Jilly.
00:31:31.79\00:31:33.05
A break, and then Overcoming
the Dragon Through Surrender to
00:31:34.02\00:31:38.36
God's Love...
00:31:38.36\00:31:39.16
Pastor Ryan
Johnson will be with us.
00:31:39.53\00:31:41.86
And then we go
through the afternoon.
00:31:42.40\00:31:45.17
You have some time that you
can take off, or go take a tour
00:31:45.20\00:31:49.24
or go to 3ABN
Planned Giving. That evening
00:31:49.24\00:31:53.98
again, at 6:00 on
Thursday is music.
00:31:53.98\00:31:58.15
Then we have Signs of
Christ's Soon Coming...
00:31:58.25\00:32:00.55
Lonnie Melachenko
will be joining us.
00:32:00.98\00:32:04.45
Three Unclean Spirits:
The Doctrines of Demons.
00:32:04.99\00:32:08.66
That will be
Ryan Day. On Friday,
00:32:08.89\00:32:12.39
Prayer circle, then breakfast.
00:32:12.99\00:32:14.60
And then The Final Reformation
and Sealing will be David
00:32:15.16\00:32:20.00
Shinn.
00:32:20.00\00:32:25.24
The Great Shaking; John Dinzey.
00:32:25.61\00:32:27.94
Free, wonderful lunch.
00:32:29.04\00:32:30.31
Again, some time in the
afternoon that you can either
00:32:30.88\00:32:33.48
do a tour or go to a seminar or
just visit and fellowship with
00:32:33.48\00:32:38.42
people.
00:32:38.42\00:32:38.79
We have music again at 6.
00:32:39.35\00:32:41.92
Then, The Fall of Babylon
and the Mark of the Beast.
00:32:42.19\00:32:46.63
That will be Christopher Hudson.
00:32:46.63\00:32:48.73
The Close of Probation;
Doug Batchelor, will be Friday
00:32:49.40\00:32:53.94
night.
00:32:53.94\00:32:54.40
His is the close of probation.
00:32:54.80\00:32:56.40
Then on Sabbath, prayer circle,
breakfast, Sabbath school
00:32:57.07\00:33:00.74
panel.
00:33:00.74\00:33:01.28
Danny, I'm not going to
put you on the spot to ask you.
00:33:01.88\00:33:04.15
I think I finally have a title.
00:33:04.51\00:33:08.35
I'm hesitant to say what it is
unless somebody get a hook and
00:33:08.48\00:33:13.12
pull me off of the set here.
00:33:13.12\00:33:14.39
No, we won't do that.
00:33:14.49\00:33:15.16
Oh, we want to hear it.
00:33:15.16\00:33:15.72
Something like this...
00:33:16.26\00:33:17.43
"We are Not the True Church"
00:33:18.06\00:33:19.86
to get your attention...
00:33:20.53\00:33:21.43
"... Yet".
00:33:21.93\00:33:23.40
"We're Not the
True Church ... Yet".
00:33:26.74\00:33:28.57
We will love a word
to that stirring message.
00:33:30.27\00:33:33.81
Then in the afternoon,
after lunch, we have The Time of
00:33:34.51\00:33:37.18
Trouble and
Earth's Final Crisis.
00:33:37.18\00:33:39.31
with Kenny Shelton.
Christ's Second Coming...
00:33:39.45\00:33:41.78
I'll be doing that one.
00:33:42.02\00:33:43.12
Our evening snack.
00:33:43.42\00:33:44.85
We finish off
with, "Soul Search:
00:33:45.25\00:33:48.69
Are we Prepared to Meet God"?
00:33:48.96\00:33:51.33
that's Lonnie Melashenko.
00:33:51.86\00:33:53.26
Then, Facing the
Future Without Fear...
00:33:54.10\00:33:57.87
Doug Batchelor will
be our final speaker.
00:33:58.07\00:34:00.27
We want to invite you.
00:34:00.67\00:34:02.27
I'll tell you what.
00:34:02.27\00:34:03.00
You can watch it.
00:34:03.34\00:34:04.24
Please, if you're staying
home, do mark your calendar.
00:34:04.44\00:34:07.61
You can watch this, but it
is so different to be here in
00:34:08.01\00:34:12.48
person.
00:34:12.48\00:34:12.95
Absolutely.
00:34:12.95\00:34:13.58
You can just feel the anointing
in the room and then get
00:34:15.28\00:34:18.92
fellowship with all.
00:34:18.92\00:34:19.92
It's like a
little taste of heaven.
00:34:20.32\00:34:23.09
And that's just the adult part.
00:34:23.43\00:34:26.29
Let me throw it to Francine for
what's going on for the kids.
00:34:26.59\00:34:29.50
Well, I have to say you need to
bring the children because this
00:34:29.63\00:34:32.97
is a fun time.
00:34:32.97\00:34:38.47
it the same topics as what
they're doing with the adults.
00:34:38.47\00:34:41.34
Just a small version.
00:34:41.48\00:34:42.58
Signs that Jesus is Coming,
The importance of making good
00:34:43.51\00:34:46.15
choices for God.
00:34:46.15\00:34:47.05
What Does
Following Jesus Look Like?
00:34:47.65\00:34:49.42
How Can We be Sealed in Christ?
00:34:49.45\00:34:50.82
We're trying to tackle a lot
of these... even The Loud Cry.
00:34:51.05\00:34:53.89
We're trying to tackle some
of these things because we want
00:34:54.59\00:34:56.89
them to go back home and talk
with their parents and ask even
00:34:56.89\00:34:59.93
more questions. Because again,
when the family's together,
00:34:59.93\00:35:03.00
they have
something that's stronger.
00:35:03.13\00:35:05.27
Again, it builds their faith as
well and they can talk to their
00:35:05.73\00:35:08.67
parents about it.
00:35:08.67\00:35:09.47
So we may even be inviting some
of the guest speakers from the
00:35:09.90\00:35:13.31
adults coming in to the
younger kids and sharing.
00:35:13.31\00:35:17.05
And then usually the kids have
a theme song so we're working
00:35:17.28\00:35:20.18
on that theme
song at the moment.
00:35:20.18\00:35:21.58
I can't quite share the
title yet because we're still
00:35:22.45\00:35:24.99
tweaking it just a tad bit
but it's going to be a wonderful
00:35:24.99\00:35:28.32
time so please invite the kids.
00:35:28.32\00:35:30.09
Unfortunately, the kids'
programs are not recorded, so we
00:35:30.69\00:35:33.76
do have the Thomas family
coming for the younger ones for
00:35:33.76\00:35:37.33
the kindergarten, and then NAPS
again helping out this year.
00:35:37.33\00:35:40.20
So they have a love for
these kids and again, the crafts
00:35:40.64\00:35:44.14
reinforces what they've learned.
00:35:44.14\00:35:46.37
So something to
go back home with.
00:35:46.44\00:35:48.08
And then oftentimes they
share those crafts with somebody
00:35:48.28\00:35:50.91
else.
00:35:50.91\00:35:53.55
Sometimes they actually give it
to a neighbor or something and
00:35:53.62\00:35:56.72
tell them what they learned.
00:35:56.72\00:35:57.89
And again, these are little
ambassadors again for Christ
00:35:57.92\00:36:00.96
and so you never know what
kind of seed you're planning for
00:36:00.96\00:36:03.56
them.
00:36:03.56\00:36:03.79
That's right.
00:36:03.99\00:36:04.53
Thank you for your
heart for the kids.
00:36:05.89\00:36:09.16
You do a great job with them.
00:36:09.16\00:36:11.23
What about the music, Mr.
Danny?, because we talked about
00:36:12.60\00:36:14.90
that.
00:36:14.90\00:36:16.20
Well, we do.
00:36:16.27\00:36:16.94
And we mentioned, Shelly
mentioned Larry Gatlin, you
00:36:17.54\00:36:20.08
know, Larry Gatlin
and the Gatlin brothers.
00:36:20.08\00:36:22.84
And well, the brothers won't
be here but Larry Gatlin has
00:36:23.48\00:36:26.48
consented to be here.
00:36:26.48\00:36:27.55
We've kind of become friends as
of late and we get along pretty
00:36:27.92\00:36:31.99
well.
00:36:31.99\00:36:32.32
He's kind of like me.
00:36:32.55\00:36:34.69
He's a character.
00:36:34.76\00:36:38.29
guy who's given his heart
totally to the Lord and he
00:36:38.29\00:36:42.13
loves doing gospel music,
giving his testimony, sharing
00:36:42.13\00:36:45.53
his testimony.
00:36:45.53\00:36:46.37
So that's going to be Wednesday
night, the very first opening
00:36:46.87\00:36:49.77
night, six o'clock.
00:36:49.77\00:36:50.97
He'll be here the first
hour with Reggie and Ladye.
00:36:51.54\00:36:53.74
We'll have Larry Paxson and
Chris Wilkinson that Larry and
00:36:54.11\00:36:58.55
Chris did the Pillars Project
and wrote a bunch of those
00:36:58.55\00:37:01.52
songs, as you know,
with David Huntsinger.
00:37:01.52\00:37:03.72
Tim Parton will be here.
00:37:04.19\00:37:05.25
We're going to have a
little band behind him also.
00:37:05.25\00:37:08.66
I think you'll be
singing with him also.
00:37:08.89\00:37:10.86
So it's going to be a fun time.
But I believe it'll be a time
00:37:10.93\00:37:14.50
to get a lot of people who
want to come early to get seats
00:37:14.50\00:37:17.60
because we're going to be
advertising it throughout our
00:37:17.60\00:37:21.07
local area in southern Illinois.
00:37:21.07\00:37:22.77
And there are many, many people
I've talked to already who've
00:37:23.37\00:37:26.11
never been to 3ABN, live maybe
five miles or 10 miles, never
00:37:26.11\00:37:30.95
been, says we're going to be
there, and we want to hear Larry
00:37:30.95\00:37:35.65
Gatlin. And so we're going
to have a great time with that
00:37:35.65\00:37:38.89
and, of course, we'll have
our own singers as well for the
00:37:38.89\00:37:41.79
next couple of nights
but it's going to be special.
00:37:41.79\00:37:44.19
So we're looking forward to the
music and to the testimony and
00:37:44.49\00:37:48.80
I believe we're going to have a
huge crowd, so you want to come
00:37:48.80\00:37:52.07
early and get your seats.
00:37:52.07\00:37:53.17
Absolutely, go ahead.
00:37:54.60\00:37:55.47
I was just going to say,
speaking of a huge crowd, make
00:37:55.77\00:37:58.54
sure if you need an RV
reservation, you contact us
00:37:58.54\00:38:02.08
right away.
00:38:02.08\00:38:02.54
We just have a
couple spots left here.
00:38:03.08\00:38:04.75
They're complimentary.
00:38:04.78\00:38:05.95
You don't have to pay anything
but make sure you give us a
00:38:06.01\00:38:08.88
call at 3ABN 618-627-4651.
00:38:08.88\00:38:12.82
That number again is 618-627
-4651 and you just say, "Yes, I
00:38:13.32\00:38:18.53
need an RV...
00:38:18.53\00:38:19.46
I have an RV, and I want
to bring it and I need an RV
00:38:20.06\00:38:22.93
space.
00:38:22.93\00:38:23.63
...that's the
correct word to use.
00:38:23.77\00:38:25.00
Or some people rent RVs
in the local area and they're
00:38:25.83\00:38:28.70
delivered here.
00:38:28.70\00:38:29.30
People can do that as well.
00:38:29.37\00:38:30.64
Or we have tent space available.
00:38:30.64\00:38:33.74
You don't need a
reservation for that.
00:38:33.88\00:38:35.64
Or you can stay in an
area hotel if that is more your
00:38:35.91\00:38:38.91
style.
00:38:38.91\00:38:42.65
to spending that time together
in fellowship and growing more
00:38:42.65\00:38:46.45
in Jesus.
00:38:46.45\00:38:49.72
stay in a tent or a hotel?
00:38:49.72\00:38:51.19
That answered it.
00:38:53.70\00:38:54.63
I think she answered it already.
00:38:54.76\00:38:56.73
You wouldn't be
camping by the lake, right?
00:38:57.57\00:39:01.14
No, it reminds me of a friend
of ours who we were married in
00:39:01.47\00:39:07.04
their home and he bought an RV.
00:39:07.04\00:39:09.84
He was so excited when he
bought this RV and then they
00:39:10.55\00:39:14.78
went and you'd be thinking
RV would be enough, but he said,
00:39:14.78\00:39:17.95
well, my wife's idea of
roughing it is staying at the
00:39:18.32\00:39:21.62
Holiday Inn.
00:39:21.62\00:39:29.06
Oh, mercy.
00:39:31.37\00:39:32.27
Like what's been mentioned,
3ABN Campmeeting is a great
00:39:32.90\00:39:36.10
family time, and as you may have
noticed in the schedule, we've
00:39:36.10\00:39:39.34
allowed the afternoons like
Thursday afternoon or Friday
00:39:39.34\00:39:41.78
afternoon to get some tours
or what we also like to see.
00:39:41.78\00:39:44.98
We've been seeing this recently.
00:39:45.05\00:39:46.01
We did this the last
couple of Camping Inns.
00:39:46.01\00:39:46.05
We see a lot of you together in
groups fellowshipping, opening
00:39:47.45\00:39:51.95
the Bible, talking
about what you're learning.
00:39:51.95\00:39:53.62
You talk about fellowship.
00:39:53.62\00:39:54.62
Wow, nothing like it at
Camp- meeting here at 3ABN.
00:39:54.76\00:39:57.99
Francine with the kids.
00:39:58.16\00:39:59.06
This is a family
time to come together.
00:39:59.09\00:40:01.40
It's been mentioned about tents.
00:40:01.63\00:40:02.60
A lot of people
actually bring tents.
00:40:02.66\00:40:03.93
We have a really nice
bath house here at 3ABN.
00:40:04.07\00:40:07.17
So we've got some nice
facilities and Jill was
00:40:07.27\00:40:09.94
mentioning about
the RV spots filling up.
00:40:09.94\00:40:12.54
We've never had them fill
up quite this fast before.
00:40:12.71\00:40:15.54
Yeah, this early.
00:40:15.68\00:40:16.54
So we do have some overflow
RV spots out behind the Call
00:40:16.88\00:40:19.65
Center if you've
been here before.
00:40:19.65\00:40:20.75
So we're getting
those spots ready.
00:40:21.12\00:40:22.35
Been talking with them.
00:40:22.52\00:40:23.35
Eric Wiesner here.
00:40:23.42\00:40:25.99
and getting ready for that
because we're going to have an
00:40:25.99\00:40:27.96
overflow I believe this year.
00:40:27.96\00:40:29.56
I think we have like
66 spots or something
00:40:29.66\00:40:31.16
for RVs and campers.
00:40:31.19\00:40:33.63
And they're
almost all gone already.
00:40:34.00\00:40:35.86
I know, amazing.
00:40:36.10\00:40:36.26
Better call if you like.
00:40:36.67\00:40:37.67
Absolutely.
00:40:38.77\00:40:39.20
Where should we go to next?
00:40:39.57\00:40:40.40
We have quite a list.
00:40:40.40\00:40:42.84
3ABN Latino right
now is in Costa Rica.
00:40:43.00\00:40:45.74
They are doing 70 simultaneous
evangelistic series.
00:40:45.84\00:40:49.04
That's amazing.
00:40:49.08\00:40:49.84
So speakers have flown in.
00:40:50.18\00:40:51.55
They sent me the countries,
Guatemala, Honduras, Mexico,
00:40:51.78\00:40:55.28
other countries, and of
course the United States.
00:40:55.68\00:40:58.09
But speakers have flown in from
all over Central America, South
00:40:58.65\00:41:02.42
America, and North America
and doing these simultaneous
00:41:02.42\00:41:05.49
evangelistic series.
00:41:05.49\00:41:06.73
They're utilizing 3ABN notes
for the sermons in the series.
00:41:07.10\00:41:11.57
And I think we have a role
with Pastor John Dinzey and his
00:41:11.63\00:41:14.47
beautiful wife, Idalia.
00:41:14.47\00:41:15.47
So let's go to that right now.
00:41:15.74\00:41:17.24
We send you greetings from
San Jose, Costa Rica, in Central
00:41:30.29\00:41:34.32
America.
00:41:34.32\00:41:35.02
This is the
Evangelizando Con Poder family.
00:41:35.32\00:41:38.59
Yes.
00:41:39.03\00:41:39.29
They have come from
different countries.
00:41:39.96\00:41:41.63
They have come with the purpose
of preaching the everlasting
00:41:41.93\00:41:44.77
gospel here in
San Jose, Costa Rica.
00:41:44.77\00:41:47.30
People from different walks
of life, people interested in
00:41:47.57\00:41:51.37
preaching the gospel.
00:41:51.37\00:41:52.67
And today was a
marvelous day, Idalia.
00:41:53.04\00:41:54.81
It was a marvelous day.
00:41:55.08\00:41:56.31
We had a spiritual feast.
00:41:56.34\00:41:58.71
We had music and
we had testimonies.
00:41:59.05\00:42:01.22
We had time for prayer as well.
00:42:01.45\00:42:03.72
And we just rededicated and
consecrated our lives to the
00:42:03.95\00:42:07.52
Lord so he can use us as we
visit church to church in here
00:42:07.52\00:42:12.09
in San Jose, Costa Rica.
00:42:12.09\00:42:13.50
And that's right.
00:42:13.63\00:42:14.36
70 simultaneous evangelistic
campaigns here in San Jose,
00:42:15.43\00:42:18.93
Costa Rica.
00:42:19.00\00:42:23.04
Jesus and lives
will be transformed.
00:42:23.04\00:42:25.14
And what are we here to do?
00:42:25.17\00:42:26.01
We are here to...
Evangelizando Con Poder!!
00:42:26.17\00:42:27.24
Amen.
00:42:42.42\00:42:42.86
Praise the Lord.
00:42:43.96\00:42:44.59
So remember them in prayer.
00:42:44.99\00:42:46.43
Cornfields of Southern
Illinois to around the world...
00:42:46.96\00:42:49.13
That's what I love watching.
00:42:49.33\00:42:50.27
Amazing.
00:42:50.40\00:42:50.87
Praise the Lord.
00:42:51.50\00:42:54.57
So remember them in prayer
for the souls that are finding
00:42:54.70\00:42:56.91
truth and making decisions
for the Lord Jesus Christ.
00:42:56.91\00:42:59.37
Exciting what's going on there.
00:42:59.41\00:43:00.54
And we want to thank
you for your support.
00:43:00.81\00:43:02.21
Many of you have been
supporting this project.
00:43:02.31\00:43:04.15
That's what makes it possible
for 3ABN to go down there in
00:43:04.21\00:43:07.58
Costa Rica.
00:43:07.58\00:43:08.05
It's amazing.
00:43:08.22\00:43:08.72
70 speakers, simultaneous.
00:43:09.58\00:43:11.32
I can't even
hardly say that word.
00:43:11.59\00:43:12.65
Simultaneous.
00:43:13.66\00:43:14.16
Did I say it right?
00:43:14.19\00:43:14.72
Simultaneous.
00:43:15.12\00:43:15.59
Okay, good.
00:43:15.86\00:43:16.26
Yes, spots at the same time.
00:43:17.03\00:43:18.03
So praise the Lord for that.
00:43:18.09\00:43:19.86
Talking about support, Jason
Bergman, CFO over here, do a
00:43:20.03\00:43:23.57
great job
managing all our funds.
00:43:23.57\00:43:24.83
But there's some really
exciting things pertaining to
00:43:25.17\00:43:28.27
the donation aspect.
00:43:28.27\00:43:29.40
We've been at a number of
rallies over the past year or
00:43:29.47\00:43:32.01
so.
00:43:32.01\00:43:34.91
We're hearing about some
challenges financially and we'd
00:43:35.38\00:43:37.88
love to be able to do..."
00:43:37.88\00:43:39.28
Well, they're concerned about
sending obviously cash through
00:43:39.28\00:43:41.58
the mail and things.
00:43:41.58\00:43:42.22
They said, can we do e-check?
00:43:42.42\00:43:43.82
Maybe Apple Pay, Google Pay.
00:43:44.05\00:43:45.82
There's other ways of
donating to a ministry.
00:43:45.82\00:43:47.62
Can you make that possible?
00:43:47.96\00:43:48.86
So thank you, Jason.
00:43:49.26\00:43:52.26
So here's the question first...
00:43:52.46\00:43:53.46
What is the greatest,
most valuable commodity that we
00:43:53.60\00:43:56.56
have?
00:43:56.56\00:43:56.77
Time.
00:43:57.00\00:43:57.30
Yes, it's time.
00:43:58.27\00:43:59.50
So in order to make things
a lot more efficient, we've
00:44:00.10\00:44:03.97
developed a donation hub where
you can donate and we've added
00:44:03.97\00:44:08.88
quite a few features.
00:44:08.88\00:44:09.84
So right now we have PayPal
and credit card and debit card.
00:44:10.95\00:44:16.85
So we've added Google Pay.
00:44:17.09\00:44:18.95
We've added Apple Pay.
00:44:19.05\00:44:20.29
We've added Venmo
and we've added e-check.
00:44:20.39\00:44:24.06
And what we also did, is
to streamline, because we know
00:44:24.49\00:44:28.83
your time is valuable, we
wanted to go through and revamp
00:44:28.83\00:44:32.90
how you donate.
00:44:32.90\00:44:33.90
So I'm going to take
you through really quickly.
00:44:34.20\00:44:35.94
I have my iPad here and
I think it's all set up.
00:44:36.17\00:44:39.34
So what we're going to do
is we're going to go to 3ABN.TV
00:44:39.37\00:44:42.81
and we're going to go into the
donate tab and we're going to
00:44:43.31\00:44:47.15
tap on that donate tab and you
can see right in the top some
00:44:47.15\00:44:51.32
of the things that we've
seen before, either the PayPal
00:44:51.32\00:44:54.06
giving fund, which is no
fees, debit or credit card.
00:44:54.06\00:44:58.06
You can give through
the QR code, through PayPal.
00:44:58.39\00:45:02.26
And then we have
this other option...
00:45:02.53\00:45:03.93
A few of you have found it,
and it is the Other Options.
00:45:04.07\00:45:07.80
You can tap on any one of these
and it brings you to another
00:45:08.00\00:45:11.51
page.
00:45:11.51\00:45:12.04
Which one did you just tap on?
00:45:12.21\00:45:13.14
I tapped on the, I
think it was Google Pay.
00:45:13.34\00:45:17.85
So you can do
Apple Pay, Google Pay.
00:45:18.78\00:45:20.42
It'll take you to a new window
here and when you go in here,
00:45:20.48\00:45:24.29
you have four options at first.
00:45:24.29\00:45:26.19
You can give once, you can give
monthly, which is reoccurring.
00:45:26.32\00:45:29.32
You can give to the PayPal
Giving Fund that has no fees, or
00:45:29.42\00:45:33.33
you can give with a QR code.
00:45:33.33\00:45:34.83
Okay, so let's say... and this
is going to replace everything
00:45:35.90\00:45:38.93
else, but we're bringing this
out slowly so you all see what
00:45:38.93\00:45:43.91
this app can do for you.
00:45:43.91\00:45:46.21
So if you give once, what it'll
do is it'll give you another
00:45:46.44\00:45:49.68
option.
00:45:49.68\00:45:52.61
Venmo?
00:45:52.61\00:45:56.95
So let's say we want to do E
-Check and we tap on that and
00:45:57.45\00:46:01.32
it brings down, it
automatically comes up with a
00:46:01.32\00:46:05.53
quick donation.
00:46:05.53\00:46:06.23
You put the amount in,
let's say I'm going to put a
00:46:06.63\00:46:09.13
thousand, now ten thousand,
...let's do a thousand.
00:46:09.13\00:46:11.00
So we'll do a thousand
dollars and let's say...
00:46:11.37\00:46:14.24
It's just zeros, Jason.
00:46:14.24\00:46:15.24
It's just zeros.
00:46:15.40\00:46:16.10
So, you know, like
Greg said, it's just a zero.
00:46:16.47\00:46:19.11
So, you know...
00:46:20.04\00:46:20.94
Put your name in and push.
00:46:20.94\00:46:22.04
That's right.
00:46:22.04\00:46:22.51
Make sure you add your name.
00:46:22.94\00:46:25.01
So let's say that you want
to give more than just a quick
00:46:26.08\00:46:30.65
donation, you want to give
to, let's say, Dare to Dream or
00:46:30.65\00:46:35.59
Kids Network or the music.
00:46:35.59\00:46:37.93
So all you have to do is tap
down that and let's say there's
00:46:38.29\00:46:41.53
Dare to Dream program and
it says, and it's a sub and you
00:46:41.53\00:46:45.17
see Dare to Dream network.
00:46:45.17\00:46:46.57
You put the amount in, let's
say you want to give another
00:46:46.97\00:46:49.67
two thousand dollars to that
and then let's say you want to
00:46:49.67\00:46:53.74
give to the Kids Network
because you like the kids and
00:46:53.74\00:46:56.71
what Francine was saying,
Aunt Francine was saying.
00:46:56.71\00:46:58.71
So you want to tap on that.
00:46:59.35\00:47:01.45
You want to go down.
00:47:01.65\00:47:02.68
We have 16 categories and then
we have some subcategories and
00:47:02.92\00:47:06.99
you can see Kids Network and
you want to give, I don't know,
00:47:06.99\00:47:10.33
how much you want to give?
00:47:10.36\00:47:11.13
Okay, let's say, let's say
another two thousand dollars.
00:47:12.49\00:47:16.43
A lot.
00:47:16.43\00:47:16.83
So you...
00:47:17.07\00:47:17.60
Yeah, exactly, a lot.
00:47:17.60\00:47:18.93
So you can give a lot.
00:47:18.93\00:47:18.97
That's great.
00:47:23.64\00:47:24.04
It'll add it up.
00:47:24.07\00:47:24.97
There's a place where
you can put a comment.
00:47:25.07\00:47:26.94
You can say, you know,
"love Greg and Jill" or "Danny,
00:47:27.31\00:47:30.98
Yvonne" or "love
what you guys are doing".
00:47:30.98\00:47:32.78
Sometimes people give messages
and you read them to us.
00:47:32.78\00:47:32.81
And we read these messages
so it's very important to us.
00:47:34.58\00:47:38.65
Okay, let's go down.
00:47:38.99\00:47:39.95
You have to put your name,
your first and last name, your
00:47:40.16\00:47:43.19
email, phone number, and
address and then it gives a
00:47:43.19\00:47:45.63
total, and then you put your
email because this is through
00:47:45.63\00:47:49.93
Stripe.
00:47:49.93\00:47:53.27
So you put your routing
number, your account number.
00:47:53.77\00:47:56.44
Because this is E-Check.
00:47:56.47\00:47:57.44
Because this is E-Check
and it's going through Stripe.
00:47:57.64\00:48:01.21
So but it's an E-Check platform
and then you put your account
00:48:01.58\00:48:05.25
number in and then what
type is a business account or a
00:48:05.25\00:48:08.22
checking account and
then all you hit is submit.
00:48:08.22\00:48:10.72
Now, if you've done this the
first time, you'll get an email
00:48:11.19\00:48:14.39
to ask you to confirm
your checking account.
00:48:14.39\00:48:17.46
Okay, and you'll
get two little deposits.
00:48:17.46\00:48:19.96
You'll get an email to
go into a URL, little code.
00:48:20.26\00:48:23.70
You go into it.
00:48:23.77\00:48:24.57
It's very easy.
00:48:24.57\00:48:25.43
You confirm on your checking
account these two little
00:48:26.40\00:48:28.77
deposits and then
it'll go right through.
00:48:28.77\00:48:31.07
And then next time you do
it, it'll take you about five
00:48:31.41\00:48:34.34
seconds.
00:48:34.34\00:48:38.95
have put in before, like
personal information, all that
00:48:38.95\00:48:41.58
populates.
00:48:41.58\00:48:41.98
Oh, that's nice.
00:48:42.02\00:48:45.85
It gives you diversification
as far as the different types of
00:48:45.85\00:48:50.59
contributions you want to give,
whether it be through Apple Pay
00:48:50.59\00:48:53.43
or Google Pay or Venmo or debit
card or credit card or eCheck.
00:48:53.43\00:49:00.10
This is a great tool
that we're bringing in slowly.
00:49:01.14\00:49:05.64
We want you to get used to
it and we want to make it simple
00:49:05.84\00:49:09.28
because we know your time
is valuable and we want to make
00:49:09.28\00:49:13.08
sure that things are automated.
00:49:13.08\00:49:15.18
The other great thing that
we've added to this; you will
00:49:15.18\00:49:18.72
get a donation
receipt right away.
00:49:18.72\00:49:21.59
So as soon as you hit
that button, you get a IRS tax
00:49:21.72\00:49:25.53
deductible receipt to
your email right away.
00:49:25.53\00:49:29.13
What that does for us, that
saves us a lot of time and it
00:49:29.43\00:49:32.67
saves a lot of money for
postage, FTE hours in time, in
00:49:32.67\00:49:37.27
processing and you get it
instantly and the IRS will
00:49:37.27\00:49:41.14
accept that.
00:49:41.14\00:49:42.04
So there's a lot of things
going on and it's a lot faster
00:49:42.34\00:49:46.28
and it gives you
a lot more options.
00:49:46.28\00:49:48.48
Yeah, thank you Jason for that.
00:49:48.75\00:49:49.75
Go ahead.
00:49:49.88\00:49:53.69
mail it to Box 220 West
Frankfort, Illinois 62896.
00:49:53.69\00:49:57.99
You can always do that for some
of the little bit not quite so
00:49:58.43\00:50:01.90
techy people like
myself, sometimes easier.
00:50:01.90\00:50:04.10
Just write a check.
00:50:04.70\00:50:05.63
Don't get quite a
few checks here at 3ABN.
00:50:05.63\00:50:05.67
So what a blessing.
00:50:07.57\00:50:08.14
Yeah, don't stop.
00:50:08.27\00:50:08.84
That's right.
00:50:09.14\00:50:09.60
You have options.
00:50:09.64\00:50:10.17
That's right.
00:50:10.27\00:50:14.04
little techy or you
want to do it on your phone.
00:50:14.04\00:50:16.88
We've designed it so you
can just go right through your
00:50:17.28\00:50:19.58
phone.
00:50:19.58\00:50:23.65
donate.
00:50:23.65\00:50:24.39
I want to add one more thing
that you may have seen how the
00:50:24.89\00:50:29.12
market has increased over
the last year and you may have a
00:50:29.12\00:50:33.56
portfolio where you have extra
shares in a stock, and the Lord
00:50:33.56\00:50:37.97
may be impressing you to
donate some of those shares.
00:50:37.97\00:50:40.57
Well, we accept them here 3ABN.
00:50:40.74\00:50:43.61
That's right.
00:50:43.61\00:50:46.74
3ABN, please give us a call
and we'd be happy to take those
00:50:46.74\00:50:50.85
shares and convert that into
cash and put it a part of the
00:50:50.85\00:50:54.68
ministry.
00:50:54.68\00:50:54.92
Amen, amen.
00:50:55.52\00:50:56.38
We get quite a few
people that do that.
00:50:56.38\00:50:57.82
Yes.
00:50:58.22\00:51:01.02
home that was just
donated to 3ABN recently.
00:51:01.02\00:51:02.96
They said this is what we have
in our hands so donate it to
00:51:03.36\00:51:05.29
3ABN and we can sell it and put
the money back into the Lord's
00:51:05.29\00:51:08.50
works.
00:51:08.50\00:51:08.83
Praise the Lord for that.
00:51:09.13\00:51:10.03
Absolutely.
00:51:10.50\00:51:10.83
We have...
00:51:10.83\00:51:11.93
Shifting gears a moment here.
00:51:11.93\00:51:13.10
Thank you, Jason,
for what you're doing.
00:51:13.34\00:51:14.47
Yes, absolutely.
00:51:14.67\00:51:16.07
Brand new program launching
here next week on 3ABN.
00:51:17.61\00:51:21.51
This is 3ABN Ignite.
00:51:21.51\00:51:23.51
We're very excited about it
because it's connecting with
00:51:24.41\00:51:27.12
social media.
00:51:27.12\00:51:27.92
As with the donations we're
trying to use all avenues and
00:51:28.35\00:51:31.39
options so that people if you
want to send a check or if you
00:51:31.39\00:51:33.99
want to do something online.
00:51:33.99\00:51:35.49
In this aspect some people
still watch on satellite or
00:51:36.06\00:51:38.99
broadcast.
00:51:38.99\00:51:42.70
social media.
00:51:42.70\00:51:43.47
More and more
people watch that way.
00:51:43.60\00:51:45.63
So this program
actually launches on YouTube.
00:51:46.00\00:51:48.34
This is 3ABN's YouTube account.
00:51:48.60\00:51:50.94
We will have moderators there
so to create a community you
00:51:51.44\00:51:54.91
can comment as the
program's live you can watch it.
00:51:54.91\00:51:58.55
You can comment
and share and connect.
00:51:58.55\00:52:00.75
We'll have people here at 3ABN
who will be commenting back.
00:52:01.05\00:52:04.09
It launches next
week March 28 through 30.
00:52:04.69\00:52:08.22
3ABN Ignite is all
about igniting our faith.
00:52:08.49\00:52:10.93
Igniting our passion for God.
00:52:11.06\00:52:12.63
We have a lot of programs
on 3ABN that are doctrinal in
00:52:12.93\00:52:15.63
nature.
00:52:15.63\00:52:15.86
This is practical Christianity.
00:52:16.33\00:52:18.70
This is how you and I can
be changed and equipped and
00:52:19.10\00:52:22.47
empowered by the Holy Spirit.
00:52:22.47\00:52:23.97
So the first speaker...  we're
going to have many different
00:52:24.37\00:52:26.68
series and it's like mini
series different speakers.
00:52:26.68\00:52:30.08
The first speaker is
Pastor John Lomacang.
00:52:30.18\00:52:31.95
So we're going to hear from
him three part series March 28
00:52:32.05\00:52:35.42
through 30.
00:52:35.42\00:52:40.06
to 7 Central.
00:52:40.09\00:52:41.29
So it's a half hour program and
then we will broadcast it the
00:52:41.32\00:52:45.79
following weekend on 3ABN.
00:52:45.79\00:52:47.86
So for those of you who don't
have access to social media
00:52:48.10\00:52:50.37
don't worry.
00:52:50.37\00:52:51.20
You can still watch it and
it will air Friday night and
00:52:51.57\00:52:54.54
Sabbath on 3ABN.
00:52:54.54\00:52:55.94
But we have a video roll
talking about this 3ABN Ignite
00:52:56.34\00:53:00.64
and let's go to
that right now....
00:53:00.64\00:53:02.34
Have you ever
asked yourself "who am I?
00:53:04.21\00:53:06.78
What is my worth?
00:53:07.12\00:53:08.08
And what is my purpose in life"?
00:53:08.08\00:53:10.19
These questions have launched
every Christian on a journey of
00:53:10.65\00:53:13.62
self -discovery while
others chase worldly pursuits or
00:53:13.62\00:53:16.89
fleeting pleasures.
00:53:16.89\00:53:17.73
However, it's vital to
acknowledge that unraveling the
00:53:18.29\00:53:21.10
answers to these profound
questions will determine the
00:53:21.10\00:53:24.13
unmistakable contrast between
a life of fulfillment and a life
00:53:24.13\00:53:27.74
of continual searching.
00:53:27.74\00:53:29.07
3ABN Ignite is a brand
new interactive program we're
00:53:29.74\00:53:32.87
launching on YouTube.
00:53:32.87\00:53:34.08
This live program can help
transform your life through
00:53:34.48\00:53:36.95
practical Christianity and it
all begins March 28th at 6.30pm
00:53:36.95\00:53:41.32
Central on
3ABN's YouTube channel.
00:53:41.32\00:53:43.65
It will also air on
3ABN the following week.
00:53:44.15\00:53:47.22
Join our dynamic community
of Christians and share your
00:53:47.76\00:53:50.59
thoughts or
questions in our live chat.
00:53:50.59\00:53:52.66
Just log into YouTube, search
for 3ABN and click on the Live
00:53:52.99\00:53:56.67
feed.
00:53:56.67\00:54:01.14
fire.
00:54:01.14\00:54:01.60
Wow, praise the Lord.
00:54:03.47\00:54:04.51
Yeah, we look forward
to seeing that next week.
00:54:04.64\00:54:06.14
Looking forward to that
brand new series that starts on
00:54:06.14\00:54:08.81
social media, 3ABN YouTube.
00:54:08.81\00:54:10.05
And then it'll be aired the
next week as you said on 3ABN.
00:54:10.65\00:54:14.05
So we've got about three
minutes left and we've got to
00:54:14.18\00:54:16.75
talk about the total
solar eclipse that's going to be
00:54:16.75\00:54:19.12
happening right here through
not only Southern Illinois and
00:54:19.12\00:54:21.69
though through Texas and
Indiana all the way up into
00:54:21.69\00:54:24.63
Maine, I believe it is.
00:54:24.63\00:54:26.26
But here at 3ABN it's supposed
to go like around two o'clock
00:54:26.53\00:54:29.63
in the afternoon on April 8th.
00:54:29.63\00:54:31.00
It's basically when the moon
and the sun or the moon's in
00:54:31.70\00:54:34.27
front of the sun it basically
becomes dark, if you can say
00:54:34.27\00:54:37.37
that.
00:54:37.37\00:54:40.68
start hooting at night or
whatever because it gets dark
00:54:40.68\00:54:42.64
in the middle of the day.
00:54:42.64\00:54:43.58
So what 3ABN is going to do
during that time frame through
00:54:44.01\00:54:46.58
our local church and a lot
of other churches are using this
00:54:46.58\00:54:48.95
as a great time of witnessing
because people from all over
00:54:48.95\00:54:51.55
the country and the world are
coming into this whole pathway
00:54:51.55\00:54:54.59
of where it's the
total solar eclipse.
00:54:54.59\00:54:57.06
Darkness, it's
going to be amazing.
00:54:57.33\00:54:58.63
And so they're using this
as an evangelism opportunity.
00:54:58.93\00:55:00.86
So our local church is
involved in passing out Great
00:55:00.90\00:55:02.73
Controversys, and I know a
lot of other churches are doing
00:55:02.73\00:55:05.43
that too.
00:55:05.43\00:55:05.97
Passing out glow tracks.
00:55:05.97\00:55:06.97
What 3ABN is going to do we're
going to allow the employees to
00:55:07.47\00:55:10.01
go outside and kind of
experience this interesting
00:55:10.01\00:55:12.31
phenomenon.
00:55:12.31\00:55:13.01
And we're going to be doing
on 3ABN social media which would
00:55:13.58\00:55:16.24
be Facebook, YouTube.
00:55:16.24\00:55:17.38
We're going to be doing a Live.
00:55:17.48\00:55:18.45
There'll be several of us
commenting on the experience
00:55:18.85\00:55:21.05
and what you're actually seeing.
00:55:21.05\00:55:22.22
So you can tune in if you're
logged into or registered with
00:55:22.28\00:55:26.25
YouTube and also Facebook.
00:55:26.25\00:55:28.22
You can watch this Live
take place of the total solar
00:55:28.36\00:55:31.43
eclipse around 2:00
[PM CDT] on April 8th.
00:55:31.43\00:55:34.36
So that's about what...
00:55:34.36\00:55:35.63
three weeks away or so?
00:55:35.63\00:55:37.53
So yeah, it's amazing.
00:55:37.87\00:55:41.17
witness to others and explain
to them about what actually is
00:55:41.17\00:55:43.74
happening and a great to me
an entering wedge to talk to
00:55:43.74\00:55:46.44
people about God and what God
means to us and what's actually
00:55:46.44\00:55:49.68
happening.
00:55:49.68\00:55:50.31
So interesting opportunity.
00:55:51.05\00:55:52.01
So wow, we've only
got a minute 15 left.
00:55:52.21\00:55:53.98
It's like we packed a lot into
this second hour but anything
00:55:54.52\00:55:58.72
on any of your heart that you
want to share here in the last
00:55:58.72\00:56:01.39
minute or so
something, Mr. Danny?
00:56:01.39\00:56:02.56
No, just to encourage people
the 40th anniversary coming up.
00:56:02.72\00:56:05.99
Maybe if you think about it
and you're not a regular monthly
00:56:06.09\00:56:09.06
donor maybe you could give
$40 a month in honor of the 40th
00:56:09.06\00:56:14.00
year because it's a small
donations that really mount up
00:56:14.00\00:56:17.91
to keep us going and not only
stable but growing instead of
00:56:17.91\00:56:22.14
just being maintenance.
00:56:22.14\00:56:23.04
Now we can be the
movers and shakers.
00:56:23.41\00:56:25.01
So thank you.
00:56:25.15\00:56:25.91
Yeah.
00:56:25.95\00:56:26.31
Amen.
00:56:26.31\00:56:26.68
Appreciate for that.
00:56:26.85\00:56:27.48
We love each one of you.
00:56:27.78\00:56:28.78
So very grateful to
serve in ministry together.
00:56:28.78\00:56:31.49
Thank you for being here
tonight and for your heart for
00:56:31.49\00:56:35.02
evangelism because that
is the heartbeat of that.
00:56:35.02\00:56:38.06
We love you at home as well.
00:56:38.79\00:56:40.46
Thank you so much for
being part of the 3ABN family.
00:56:40.70\00:56:44.37
Thank you for standing with
us in these closing moments of
00:56:44.73\00:56:47.94
Earth's history as we seek to
take the undiluted Three Angels
00:56:47.94\00:56:51.94
Messages, one that would
counteract the counterfeit to a
00:56:51.94\00:56:55.28
lost and dying world.
00:56:55.28\00:56:57.05
Know that anytime you can reach
out to us and we want to be
00:56:57.35\00:57:02.18
here for you as well.
00:57:02.18\00:57:03.18
We will see you next time.
00:57:03.49\00:57:05.12
