Hello and welcome back
to 3ABN Behind the Scenes.
00:00:10.44\00:00:13.14
We are so very glad that
you have joined us here for the
00:00:13.27\00:00:15.58
second hour.
00:00:15.58\00:00:19.08
programs.
00:00:19.08\00:00:19.55
I know it doesn't.
00:00:19.55\00:00:19.58
I mean 60 minutes is 60 minutes.
00:00:20.32\00:00:21.82
But still we're talking
about evangelism and that always
00:00:21.98\00:00:24.79
seems to go by in a hurry.
00:00:24.79\00:00:25.95
And I love the 3ABN Behind the
Scenes program because that's
00:00:26.19\00:00:29.46
what it's all about, about what
the ministry of 3ABN is doing
00:00:29.46\00:00:32.46
around the world and
it's all about evangelism.
00:00:32.46\00:00:35.30
And again we say thank you for
your continued prayers and your
00:00:35.30\00:00:35.33
financial, faithful, financial
support of your ministry, God's
00:00:39.97\00:00:44.84
ministry, 3ABN.
00:00:44.84\00:00:45.81
Because without you we would
not be able to reach the entire
00:00:46.04\00:00:48.84
world.
00:00:48.84\00:00:52.01
feedback, especially social
media now more and more about
00:00:52.01\00:00:54.95
how 3ABN is reaching so many
different parts of the world
00:00:54.95\00:00:58.85
and how 3ABN is impacting them.
00:00:58.85\00:01:00.99
And what's amazing to me
is just the power of searching
00:01:01.09\00:01:04.29
online, right?
00:01:04.29\00:01:05.59
I mean even like if I'm trying
to fix something at the house,
00:01:06.06\00:01:08.06
let's say something broke
at the house, I'll just put it
00:01:08.06\00:01:10.67
into Google and say, how do you
fix such and such and it comes
00:01:10.67\00:01:13.00
up with something.
00:01:13.00\00:01:13.80
Well, people are doing
the same thing spiritually.
00:01:14.04\00:01:15.94
What's happening at times?
00:01:16.64\00:01:18.34
What happens when I die?
00:01:18.44\00:01:19.61
And what is so powerful
about that is that 3ABN is
00:01:20.08\00:01:23.68
recommended as the research
result for so many of these
00:01:23.68\00:01:26.92
topics and that's how
people find out about 3ABN.
00:01:26.92\00:01:29.48
So we're going to be talking
about even that this evening
00:01:29.52\00:01:31.82
but I'm excited about
this hour and it's packed full.
00:01:31.82\00:01:34.26
Amen, you know people used
to flip a channel and find 3EBN,
00:01:34.52\00:01:37.56
and they can still do
that in so many communities.
00:01:37.76\00:01:40.20
But now people go online
and they search because that's
00:01:40.60\00:01:43.13
where people are looking for
answers because we think Google
00:01:43.13\00:01:45.73
knows everything, and that's
not necessarily true, the Lord
00:01:45.73\00:01:49.17
knows everything.
00:01:49.17\00:01:50.34
The Word of God.
00:01:50.61\00:01:51.77
And so we have the opportunity
to be available at people's
00:01:52.37\00:01:56.01
fingertips when
they're searching for truth.
00:01:56.01\00:01:58.05
So we have a power-packed
second hour with roles and
00:01:58.45\00:02:03.02
videos and testimonies
and ways So you can partner
00:02:03.02\00:02:06.32
evangelistically with the
ministry of 3EBN coming around
00:02:06.32\00:02:09.39
the circle here at the island,
our family, Pastor John Denzi
00:02:09.39\00:02:13.06
and Mrs. Adalia Denzi, I
was calling you Mrs. Denzi.
00:02:13.06\00:02:16.56
So glad you both
are here tonight.
00:02:16.90\00:02:17.93
Welcome, welcome.
00:02:17.97\00:02:18.53
Thank you.
00:02:18.53\00:02:19.20
Thank you for the invitation.
00:02:19.20\00:02:20.54
And we're going to be talking
about some of your travels too.
00:02:21.74\00:02:23.54
I know not right at this
moment, but you all have been
00:02:23.64\00:02:25.61
to many parts of the world
in like a matter of three, four
00:02:25.61\00:02:28.14
weeks.
00:02:28.14\00:02:28.41
So yeah, exciting updates.
00:02:28.78\00:02:30.21
We're going to get updates
from Costa Rica and Cuba and
00:02:30.45\00:02:33.82
Honduras and I don't know where
else, but at least those three
00:02:33.82\00:02:36.38
places.
00:02:36.38\00:02:36.89
Praise the Lord.
00:02:37.79\00:02:38.52
Praise the Lord.
00:02:38.92\00:02:39.45
Coming around the circle
here, we have Jeff Dorr and his
00:02:40.12\00:02:42.89
beautiful wife, Charlotte, is
not here tonight, but she's an
00:02:42.89\00:02:46.26
integral part of
the ministry here too.
00:02:46.26\00:02:47.76
Jeff, of course, is our
plan -giving and trust services
00:02:47.86\00:02:51.27
director and we're so
glad you're here tonight.
00:02:51.27\00:02:53.70
It's a privilege to be here
to serve the Lord, absolutely.
00:02:54.00\00:02:56.81
Coming around the table,
we have Ricky Carter and his
00:02:58.31\00:03:01.78
beautiful wife, Jasmine,
and Ricky, of course, is social
00:03:01.78\00:03:05.95
media manager.
00:03:05.95\00:03:06.95
That's a newer hat I guess
we could say you're wearing in
00:03:07.62\00:03:10.62
addition to working dare to
dream with like video graphics
00:03:10.62\00:03:13.89
and editing and all
the other stuff you do.
00:03:13.89\00:03:15.86
And Jasmine is Rubian's
marketing manager and have you
00:03:16.16\00:03:19.06
been here a year yet or not?
00:03:19.06\00:03:20.10
Yes, just over a year.
00:03:20.23\00:03:21.76
Wow.
00:03:21.83\00:03:22.26
A year and a few days.
00:03:22.50\00:03:23.40
It's amazing.
00:03:24.53\00:03:25.07
You're doing a great job.
00:03:25.17\00:03:26.30
God handpicked you to be
here at such a time as this.
00:03:26.94\00:03:29.10
So thank you for the work
that all of you are doing.
00:03:29.34\00:03:31.51
Praise God.
00:03:31.71\00:03:34.24
You all have been here like 30
some years almost from the very
00:03:34.64\00:03:37.71
beginning and
all of us in between.
00:03:37.71\00:03:39.55
So it's just neat how God
brings us together at such a
00:03:39.75\00:03:43.62
moment.
00:03:43.62\00:03:44.02
And 3ABN is in existence
for such a moment as this in
00:03:44.75\00:03:50.03
earth's history.
00:03:50.03\00:03:50.59
So praise the Lord.
00:03:50.83\00:03:51.79
And we also think about you
at home too because you are here
00:03:52.09\00:03:54.76
on this earth for
such a time as this.
00:03:54.76\00:03:57.03
So we all have work to do
in your local communities, your
00:03:57.10\00:04:01.07
local church, where you
work with your families.
00:04:01.07\00:04:03.17
There is a work for you to
do no matter your age, no matter
00:04:03.44\00:04:05.74
physically, how
you may be limited.
00:04:05.74\00:04:07.61
God has a work and
a great plan for you.
00:04:07.78\00:04:10.18
So take
encouragement this evening.
00:04:10.48\00:04:12.21
Well, starting right off,
let's talk about 3ABN School of
00:04:13.72\00:04:16.75
Discipleship.
00:04:16.75\00:04:17.95
We have had two schools so far.
00:04:18.12\00:04:20.46
They're in intensive training,
you could say, a week to 10
00:04:20.59\00:04:24.36
days long.
00:04:24.36\00:04:28.93
the Bible and apologetics
and evangelism and great
00:04:28.93\00:04:33.50
controversy.
00:04:33.50\00:04:34.54
And I'm not sure what else.
00:04:34.90\00:04:35.84
We'll talk more
about that health.
00:04:35.94\00:04:37.51
Absolutely.
00:04:38.01\00:04:38.57
So our next school of
discipleship, it's in person.
00:04:39.14\00:04:42.14
That means you have to come
here and in order to come here,
00:04:42.34\00:04:45.31
you have to register.
00:04:45.31\00:04:46.48
So there's a lot of
details pertaining to that.
00:04:46.75\00:04:49.52
Let's maybe play the video clip
for that and we'll come out.
00:04:49.88\00:04:53.02
I know Mrs. Denzi went
to a school of discipleship.
00:04:53.09\00:04:55.46
The first one, I did.
00:04:55.56\00:04:56.89
And Jasmine went
to the second one.
00:04:57.33\00:04:58.66
So we'll hear from both of
you as far as your experience.
00:04:58.66\00:05:00.63
But let's go to that
video clip right now.
00:05:00.83\00:05:02.63
I can only say that the
school of discipleship has been
00:05:10.37\00:05:14.48
spiritual transformation.
00:05:14.48\00:05:15.91
I believe that all the courses,
all the activities, just
00:05:16.44\00:05:19.88
meeting the amazing people that
come to this program has been
00:05:19.88\00:05:23.42
transformative
for my spiritual life.
00:05:23.42\00:05:25.42
If you're on the fence, just
jump over the fence and come on
00:05:25.92\00:05:28.86
over.
00:05:28.86\00:05:30.96
It is an incredible experience.
00:05:31.46\00:05:32.99
It is an incredible blessing
to just have this and it's going
00:05:32.99\00:05:36.46
to be even more of
a blessing to share.
00:05:36.46\00:05:38.00
Make the choice to come.
00:05:38.90\00:05:40.10
You might not even know what
you're looking for, but God has
00:05:40.40\00:05:44.44
a divine
appointment for you here.
00:05:44.44\00:05:46.41
You're going to
come back strengthened.
00:05:46.71\00:05:48.68
You're going to come back a
little wiser because your focus
00:05:49.08\00:05:52.48
will have been on
Jesus the entire week.
00:05:52.48\00:05:54.88
This is where
disciples are truly made.
00:05:55.12\00:05:57.19
Amen.
00:06:05.03\00:06:08.66
and Pastor James Rafferty and
Ian Van der Valk and the rest
00:06:08.66\00:06:12.30
of the team, the instructors
and all those, the food and
00:06:12.30\00:06:14.70
everything.
00:06:14.70\00:06:15.27
But what a great experience.
00:06:15.37\00:06:16.27
The next one, Jill, we should
mention that July 5 through 14.
00:06:17.21\00:06:22.08
That's right.
00:06:22.31\00:06:22.74
And it's limited.
00:06:22.81\00:06:23.51
That's one of the things.
00:06:23.61\00:06:28.68
discipled yourself.
00:06:28.68\00:06:29.78
But there's a lot of
one on one interactions.
00:06:29.92\00:06:32.69
So we don't allow a
lot of people to come.
00:06:32.72\00:06:35.16
We usually cap it at
about 40 or so students.
00:06:35.16\00:06:37.93
So it's a first
come, kind of first serve.
00:06:38.43\00:06:40.56
But there's an application
process and all that.
00:06:40.60\00:06:42.56
So you need to apply.
00:06:42.56\00:06:42.60
And the way to do that
is to go to 3ABNSAWED.com.
00:06:44.17\00:06:48.04
It's right there on
the screen, 3ABNSAWED.com.
00:06:48.14\00:06:50.47
And I know if the team
were here, Ryan or Ian or Pastor
00:06:50.94\00:06:54.78
James, they
would see, say, what?
00:06:54.78\00:06:56.68
Read the handbook.
00:06:56.68\00:06:57.55
That provides
all the information.
00:06:58.35\00:07:00.62
So I think I said that right.
00:07:01.25\00:07:02.28
So the handbook is
right there at 3ABNSAWED.com.
00:07:02.28\00:07:05.65
Go there, read that.
00:07:05.69\00:07:06.72
The dates are there, all
the pertinent information.
00:07:06.79\00:07:08.62
So we look forward to seeing
you July 5th through the 14th,
00:07:08.79\00:07:13.36
right here at 3ABN.
00:07:13.36\00:07:14.83
And both of you
attended, like Jill said.
00:07:15.53\00:07:17.10
What were your thoughts,
Mrs. Denzi, on the school of
00:07:17.20\00:07:19.50
discipleship?
00:07:19.50\00:07:23.37
It was the first one.
00:07:23.74\00:07:25.11
So to me, it would be the
best class in history of SAWED.
00:07:25.11\00:07:25.14
And you would think that as
an employee, you know, what am I
00:07:30.98\00:07:35.12
doing there?
00:07:35.12\00:07:36.18
Well, even employees working
in ministry, it's nice to take
00:07:36.32\00:07:40.39
time out from your
everyday obligations and all.
00:07:40.39\00:07:44.26
But when do we really set
time aside to really soak in the
00:07:44.53\00:07:49.33
Word?
00:07:49.33\00:07:53.17
suggestions as to how to do
soul winning, soul searching,
00:07:53.17\00:07:58.51
and edifying spiritually.
00:07:59.34\00:08:01.51
So I praise the Lord that I
had that one week, and I wish I
00:08:01.94\00:08:06.78
could keep being at, I would
say, it's like being at the
00:08:06.78\00:08:11.22
feet of Jesus, just
listening to the Word and the
00:08:11.22\00:08:14.39
explanations, the foundation,
our roots, and just a greater
00:08:14.39\00:08:18.49
understanding.
00:08:18.49\00:08:19.16
So it's the best investment.
00:08:19.79\00:08:21.33
I want to thank administration
for allowing me to be part of
00:08:21.33\00:08:26.00
that class.
00:08:26.00\00:08:26.70
Thank you for going.
00:08:26.74\00:08:27.34
The best class.
00:08:27.50\00:08:28.10
We'll go to Jasmine here.
00:08:29.40\00:08:30.87
We opened it up
just so clarification.
00:08:31.07\00:08:33.07
We allow a couple of 3B
employees to go through every
00:08:33.68\00:08:36.71
school.
00:08:36.71\00:08:39.55
space.
00:08:39.55\00:08:42.28
too.
00:08:42.45\00:08:42.48
Adalia was part of the 3B
employees for the first class,
00:08:43.89\00:08:47.19
and Jasmine
wanted to go the second.
00:08:47.32\00:08:48.66
So what was your experience?
00:08:48.69\00:08:49.59
The second, I
believe, was the best ever.
00:08:49.59\00:08:52.33
We're
continually improving, right?
00:08:56.26\00:08:58.53
It was life changing for me.
00:08:59.70\00:09:01.30
It was memorable.
00:09:01.30\00:09:02.20
I went because I wanted to
learn more and learn how to
00:09:02.47\00:09:04.71
witness.
00:09:04.71\00:09:09.24
learned a lot, and there's a
lot more growth in my spiritual
00:09:09.24\00:09:12.38
walks.
00:09:12.38\00:09:12.98
I enjoy the prayer
sessions in the mornings.
00:09:13.38\00:09:16.25
It's 6 a.m.
00:09:16.38\00:09:17.89
Those were great.
00:09:17.95\00:09:19.29
And also, one of the most
memorable things for me was the
00:09:19.65\00:09:23.32
Defend Your Fate session.
00:09:23.32\00:09:24.59
And what's that like?
00:09:25.23\00:09:26.39
We were in themes of maybe
six groups of seven, and we were
00:09:26.56\00:09:30.63
given a topic, for example,
a topic on health, what happens
00:09:30.63\00:09:33.50
when you die, secret
rapture, change of the Sabbath.
00:09:33.50\00:09:36.94
And we had to sit on the
hot seat with Ryan and Dakota.
00:09:37.51\00:09:41.78
They were testing us.
00:09:43.01\00:09:44.15
They were like the Sunday
Church folks, and they were
00:09:44.15\00:09:48.18
really tough.
00:09:48.18\00:09:48.82
I'm coming back
with some questions.
00:09:50.55\00:09:52.15
I'm like, hey,
so make this plain.
00:09:52.32\00:09:53.39
I don't quite understand
this aspect of the scripture.
00:09:53.49\00:09:55.06
So why do you say this?
00:09:55.06\00:09:55.09
Yeah, that's great.
00:09:56.12\00:09:57.26
That's great.
00:09:58.03\00:09:58.66
I think I'm going
to have to sign up.
00:09:58.89\00:10:00.83
You didn't have that
in the first session.
00:10:02.46\00:10:03.37
We didn't have that
in the first session.
00:10:03.37\00:10:05.33
I mean, we're still
the best in history.
00:10:05.50\00:10:07.24
But you know what?
00:10:07.54\00:10:08.60
I also enjoyed it, and I'm
sorry to jump in like this.
00:10:08.70\00:10:11.44
You're fine.
00:10:11.44\00:10:12.17
I really enjoyed the
testimonies of all the visitors
00:10:12.51\00:10:15.74
that came.
00:10:15.74\00:10:24.05
or processed foods as possible.
00:10:24.05\00:10:25.95
And there were even testimonies
as far as some of the guests
00:10:26.29\00:10:30.03
had sugar issues or
blood pressure issues.
00:10:30.03\00:10:33.03
There was none by
the end of the week.
00:10:33.36\00:10:35.33
And they were just very
thankful for that as well.
00:10:35.33\00:10:39.47
Making connections and
networking was great as well.
00:10:41.07\00:10:44.94
So I enjoyed it and I
just didn't want it to end.
00:10:44.94\00:10:48.98
It is an intensive for sure.
00:10:49.81\00:10:51.45
A lot of people say it's like
drinking from a fire hydrant,
00:10:51.58\00:10:53.62
but that's all right.
00:10:53.65\00:10:58.25
So again, the next one
is July 5th through 14th.
00:10:58.49\00:11:00.96
You can go to 3abnsaud.com
for all of the pertinent
00:11:00.96\00:11:04.89
information.
00:11:04.89\00:11:05.69
So we encourage
you to go to that.
00:11:05.73\00:11:07.60
We had some young
people at the last one as well.
00:11:07.86\00:11:10.07
And yeah, it's
just great experience.
00:11:10.47\00:11:11.90
I think we have a photo,
I think, of the graduating
00:11:12.27\00:11:14.74
classes will be Jasmine's class.
00:11:14.74\00:11:16.24
I think the second
class, there it is.
00:11:16.40\00:11:18.84
So 3abn School of Discipleship.
00:11:19.34\00:11:20.71
You can see all the students
who attended this last one.
00:11:20.84\00:11:23.14
And then the instructors,
I think, are on the back row.
00:11:23.55\00:11:25.85
It's hard to see everybody
there, but praise the Lord for
00:11:25.95\00:11:28.68
people wanting to be discipled
and then to go out and make
00:11:28.68\00:11:31.49
other disciples.
00:11:31.49\00:11:32.22
So that's a tremendous blessing.
00:11:32.49\00:11:33.56
You know, I think we could
probably go and talk about the
00:11:34.02\00:11:35.96
eclipse.
00:11:35.96\00:11:38.13
probably transition over
to social media because this
00:11:38.13\00:11:40.00
eclipse event, Ricky, you
know, we kind of streamed on.
00:11:40.00\00:11:42.33
And we tried this on
3abn social media platforms.
00:11:42.46\00:11:44.83
But we had a total solar
eclipse right here at 3abn and
00:11:45.30\00:11:49.70
it lasted for like, was it
a little over four minutes.
00:11:49.70\00:11:52.97
And it was amazing.
00:11:53.11\00:11:54.21
I know we've got, I think, some
photos of that, just some of
00:11:54.31\00:11:56.58
what we took here at 3abn.
00:11:56.58\00:11:59.05
And we appreciate
Andrews University.
00:11:59.05\00:12:00.75
You can see their bus there.
00:12:00.85\00:12:02.18
They brought down
a lot of students.
00:12:02.22\00:12:03.35
Was it their physics class?
00:12:03.42\00:12:04.32
Physics department.
00:12:04.42\00:12:05.22
Yes, and they provided a
lot of neat devices like that.
00:12:05.55\00:12:08.09
That's it.
00:12:08.22\00:12:10.36
there without hurting your eyes.
00:12:10.36\00:12:12.06
Dr. Mattingly is the
chair of the department there.
00:12:12.33\00:12:14.36
There's our team there that
was working on preparing for the
00:12:14.83\00:12:17.20
social media live
event that took place.
00:12:17.20\00:12:19.63
And yeah, that's in the...
00:12:20.10\00:12:21.34
There's your mom and dad.
00:12:21.34\00:12:22.17
That's my mom and dad.
00:12:22.17\00:12:22.20
We just kind of grabbed them
and said, hey, come on over.
00:12:23.54\00:12:25.34
What do you think
of the experience?
00:12:25.41\00:12:26.61
And this is as the eclipse
is starting to take place right
00:12:26.61\00:12:26.64
there.
00:12:29.28\00:12:30.15
Look at that.
00:12:30.18\00:12:30.81
That's when it was complete.
00:12:31.38\00:12:32.51
And that's at two
o'clock in the afternoon.
00:12:32.85\00:12:34.55
360 sunset, you know, no
matter which direction you look,
00:12:36.02\00:12:38.49
north, south, east,
west, you get that sunset.
00:12:38.59\00:12:40.12
I like that photo right there.
00:12:40.12\00:12:41.26
If we stay on that for just
a minute, you see that, you see
00:12:41.39\00:12:44.19
the eclipse taking place.
00:12:44.19\00:12:45.43
But then you see, I guess
it's a planet there, that little
00:12:45.53\00:12:47.50
star that I'm calling
it a star that came out.
00:12:47.50\00:12:49.53
And here you are at two
o'clock in the afternoon.
00:12:49.53\00:12:51.87
Just really, really amazing.
00:12:51.93\00:12:53.57
And it's really neat too
what the church did, the local
00:12:54.67\00:12:57.51
church and other churches too.
00:12:57.51\00:12:58.57
They took
advantage in a good way.
00:12:58.61\00:12:59.91
If they passed out the great
controversy, you were part of
00:12:59.94\00:13:02.58
that too, Rick.
00:13:02.58\00:13:05.48
And I'm right
now, this is a program.
00:13:05.68\00:13:07.92
What was the title on that?
00:13:07.95\00:13:08.85
When light and darkness collide.
00:13:08.85\00:13:10.45
Yes, with a great
graphic on the front.
00:13:10.62\00:13:12.59
And those were passed out.
00:13:12.75\00:13:13.92
I think it was at 35,000 or
40 ,000 in our local community.
00:13:13.99\00:13:17.13
And so that was taking place
because so many people came to
00:13:17.69\00:13:20.10
this area because it was
totality for such a long period
00:13:20.10\00:13:23.40
of time.
00:13:23.40\00:13:28.54
forecasting springtime here,
a lot of clouds in southern
00:13:28.54\00:13:31.01
Illinois usually.
00:13:31.01\00:13:32.04
And this ended up
being just perfect weather.
00:13:32.51\00:13:35.54
It was clear.
00:13:36.14\00:13:37.01
You could see the eclipse.
00:13:37.35\00:13:38.55
I know.
00:13:38.55\00:13:39.11
It wasn't that amazing.
00:13:39.21\00:13:40.12
So a great
witnessing opportunity.
00:13:40.52\00:13:42.12
But not only that, 3ABN did
the social media live stream.
00:13:42.78\00:13:45.55
Jill and I did that.
00:13:45.89\00:13:46.49
Go ahead.
00:13:46.52\00:13:49.39
simultaneous live stream across
3ABN's YouTube account, 3ABN's
00:13:49.39\00:13:54.03
Facebook, 3ABN's Instagram, and
3ABN Latino's Facebook account.
00:13:54.03\00:13:59.27
So that would be four of
our social media streams all at
00:13:59.50\00:14:02.27
once doing that.
00:14:02.27\00:14:06.01
called in that morning and they
said, well, we're not sure on
00:14:06.01\00:14:08.88
secular television all
this coverage, but we want our
00:14:08.88\00:14:11.61
children watching
something Christian.
00:14:11.61\00:14:12.98
We're going to tune into 3ABN.
00:14:13.25\00:14:15.05
And we want to be
able to watch that.
00:14:15.22\00:14:17.22
So I know people joined in
from all over the world to watch
00:14:17.32\00:14:19.55
that here.
00:14:19.55\00:14:23.36
to YouTube and see the eclipse.
00:14:23.36\00:14:24.63
If you missed seeing what
totality was like here, is it
00:14:24.69\00:14:28.06
there on YouTube?
00:14:28.06\00:14:28.70
I believe it is.
00:14:28.73\00:14:29.86
You go under the live section.
00:14:30.40\00:14:32.37
Okay, on YouTube?
00:14:32.37\00:14:33.10
On YouTube.
00:14:33.27\00:14:33.84
I could actually show them that.
00:14:34.07\00:14:35.64
This is the really neat thing
of our technology and the crew.
00:14:35.64\00:14:38.64
I appreciate this.
00:14:38.84\00:14:41.61
Can we put that up there?
00:14:41.74\00:14:42.61
So we're looking at your iPad.
00:14:42.94\00:14:44.08
So when you're here on YouTube
channel, if you go over to the
00:14:45.05\00:14:48.12
live section right there,
there's a video out there and
00:14:48.12\00:14:51.15
you can just play it and
then start watching some of it.
00:14:51.15\00:14:54.06
It's probably, I don't
know if it's going to play.
00:14:54.16\00:14:55.39
Okay, there we go.
00:14:55.46\00:14:56.26
Yeah, I see it
playing right there.
00:14:56.29\00:14:57.33
You have it at pause.
00:14:57.86\00:14:58.63
So, yeah.
00:14:58.96\00:14:59.53
And again, we have to say
thank you to Andrews University
00:15:00.20\00:15:02.30
because we're able to get
a live feed from one of their
00:15:02.30\00:15:04.70
telescopes and we're able to
put that on the live stream and
00:15:04.70\00:15:08.94
you can actually see
the eclipse taking place.
00:15:08.94\00:15:10.61
So thanks again to
Andrews University.
00:15:10.91\00:15:13.41
But transitioning then Ricky,
so tell us about social media
00:15:14.04\00:15:16.88
and what's taking place.
00:15:16.88\00:15:17.58
Exciting things are happening.
00:15:17.78\00:15:18.48
Yes, yes.
00:15:18.75\00:15:19.71
So start off, since you
mentioned social media, you
00:15:19.88\00:15:22.02
know, our viewers, they
can follow us on Facebook.
00:15:22.02\00:15:25.65
Okay.
00:15:25.85\00:15:30.89
formerly known as Twitter.
00:15:30.89\00:15:32.09
And then our viewers can
be encouraged after they're on
00:15:32.96\00:15:37.30
looking at some
of our content there.
00:15:37.30\00:15:38.67
They can then share
it with someone else.
00:15:38.97\00:15:41.34
And if you go to my iPad here,
just give you an example of how
00:15:41.77\00:15:45.44
you can actually
share a post on Facebook.
00:15:45.44\00:15:47.84
So here I'm scrolling down.
00:15:48.48\00:15:50.08
Here's a post here.
00:15:50.25\00:15:51.15
It says, is smoking
or using drugs a sin?
00:15:51.15\00:15:54.85
So there's a link
right here you can click on.
00:15:55.62\00:15:57.52
Takes you right to our
3ABNanswers.com There you can
00:15:57.52\00:16:05.66
see the answer right there.
00:16:05.66\00:16:06.86
And there's other ways that
you can, other posts that are on
00:16:08.40\00:16:11.33
there, but then
you can share that.
00:16:11.33\00:16:13.00
I can go right here and then go
to the feed and then just say,
00:16:13.20\00:16:18.97
what do you all think?
00:16:19.94\00:16:23.48
So you're watching a live
screenshot here of Ricky's
00:16:23.68\00:16:26.08
iPad.
00:16:26.08\00:16:26.48
Literally, yeah.
00:16:26.48\00:16:28.02
And then, boom, I just
posted it there to my feed.
00:16:28.38\00:16:31.65
Just like that.
00:16:31.72\00:16:32.42
That's easy.
00:16:32.89\00:16:33.42
Yeah, so that's one of the
ways that you can share from
00:16:34.22\00:16:36.89
Facebook.
00:16:36.89\00:16:37.49
Ricky, that's evangelism.
00:16:37.89\00:16:39.39
That is evangelism.
00:16:39.59\00:16:40.73
Through social media.
00:16:41.86\00:16:43.03
So for those of you who could
be a little shy of witnessing,
00:16:43.13\00:16:47.50
here's one way
that you can witness.
00:16:48.14\00:16:49.80
You can witness on social
media, using social media.
00:16:49.84\00:16:53.14
If we go back here to the iPad,
if you're on YouTube, let's say
00:16:53.58\00:16:58.05
here's one of the videos
here that we did with Pastor
00:16:58.05\00:17:01.02
Lomakane.
00:17:01.02\00:17:01.88
Well, I can now share that,
go to my text message and let's
00:17:02.25\00:17:06.96
just type in test text.
00:17:06.96\00:17:09.39
A little site right there.
00:17:09.99\00:17:11.09
Share that text,
texting that to someone.
00:17:11.73\00:17:14.03
So there's another way that
I can be witnessing via social
00:17:14.30\00:17:18.87
media.
00:17:18.87\00:17:19.43
All right.
00:17:20.34\00:17:20.90
And so you can find content,
live feeds on there, on our
00:17:21.54\00:17:26.17
social media platform.
00:17:26.17\00:17:27.04
Savva School panel, some of
the content that you can see on
00:17:28.91\00:17:31.58
there.
00:17:31.58\00:17:35.85
are there.
00:17:35.85\00:17:36.32
Scripture.
00:17:36.35\00:17:36.82
There's also shorts.
00:17:37.32\00:17:38.35
We have some video shorts.
00:17:38.52\00:17:39.75
Matter of fact, we've got,
we're starting to do more and
00:17:40.22\00:17:44.09
more shorts or YouTube shorts.
00:17:44.09\00:17:46.70
Explain what that is because
some people might think that's
00:17:46.70\00:17:48.26
an article of clothing.
00:17:48.26\00:17:49.06
So what is that?
00:17:50.87\00:17:51.87
So what I'll do is I'll
take one of our programs, find a
00:17:52.57\00:17:57.61
really interesting segment and
I'll cut it down, find the most
00:17:57.61\00:18:04.01
interesting part.
00:18:04.01\00:18:05.45
Then I'll add some words to it,
some animated words to it, to
00:18:06.11\00:18:09.32
the screen.
00:18:09.32\00:18:13.59
Facebook site.
00:18:13.59\00:18:14.72
And matter of fact, I have
an example of that, one of our
00:18:15.39\00:18:17.79
shorts.
00:18:17.79\00:18:19.53
Okay.
00:18:20.20\00:18:21.60
Without something
interrupting this vicious cycle.
00:18:21.60\00:18:24.53
The world cannot continue with
violence, earthquakes, flood,
00:18:24.93\00:18:29.97
political uncertainty, demise.
00:18:30.74\00:18:33.24
The list goes on and on.
00:18:33.64\00:18:34.98
Falling economies, rising
suspicion about the future of
00:18:35.58\00:18:39.75
our political
economy in our world.
00:18:39.75\00:18:41.38
All these issues are swirling
around our minds day by day and
00:18:41.62\00:18:45.42
they're just indicating
that there's something on the
00:18:45.42\00:18:47.86
horizon.
00:18:47.86\00:18:48.26
The final
production is on its way.
00:18:48.96\00:18:51.56
And when you think about how
long this production has been
00:18:51.56\00:18:51.59
in development for more than 6
,000 years, ever since the fall
00:18:54.13\00:18:58.10
in the Garden of Eden, ever
since our first parents turned
00:18:58.10\00:19:01.97
their backs on God's favor,
Adam and Eve, the production
00:19:01.97\00:19:05.54
has been underway.
00:19:05.54\00:19:06.41
So that's a...
00:19:11.05\00:19:11.71
Incredible.
00:19:11.71\00:19:12.25
That's a YouTube short.
00:19:12.61\00:19:14.62
Okay.
00:19:14.65\00:19:18.29
calls them Reels.
00:19:18.29\00:19:19.49
Okay.
00:19:19.59\00:19:22.49
So basically you said, then
you're taking like, let's say,
00:19:22.49\00:19:24.99
a half hour, one hour sermon.
00:19:25.03\00:19:26.93
And that was what?
00:19:27.10\00:19:27.86
Was that 60 seconds
or maybe more than...
00:19:28.00\00:19:29.73
51 seconds.
00:19:29.73\00:19:30.43
51 seconds.
00:19:30.77\00:19:31.13
Okay.
00:19:31.40\00:19:32.30
So why is that something
we even are focusing on?
00:19:32.67\00:19:34.64
It's because
it's a trend, right?
00:19:35.14\00:19:36.30
That we're seeing out there
and we're using it for the Lord.
00:19:36.30\00:19:38.81
Peak interest.
00:19:38.84\00:19:39.41
Peak interest.
00:19:39.54\00:19:40.21
And when you're on YouTube, for
example, here, if you can see
00:19:40.78\00:19:45.38
my screen, there's a way
that if the viewer is interested
00:19:45.38\00:19:49.08
when they're watching the
short, they can click on a link
00:19:49.08\00:19:52.49
right below the...
00:19:52.49\00:19:53.82
Scroll it up a little bit.
00:19:53.82\00:19:54.92
Maybe they can't see it here,
but there's a link that's on
00:19:55.32\00:19:57.66
there that you can click
on that will take you to the
00:19:57.66\00:19:59.43
original content.
00:19:59.43\00:20:00.66
The one hour sermon.
00:20:00.76\00:20:01.80
One hour.
00:20:01.96\00:20:02.56
So that's good to know to
let people know about that.
00:20:03.13\00:20:05.37
Yes, it is.
00:20:05.67\00:20:06.60
Now, for sake of time, I want
to transition to another thing
00:20:06.94\00:20:10.94
that we're doing
the Facebook ads.
00:20:10.94\00:20:12.87
Can we talk about that?
00:20:12.87\00:20:12.91
Yeah.
00:20:13.88\00:20:14.28
Yeah.
00:20:14.38\00:20:14.41
Great.
00:20:14.68\00:20:14.91
All right.
00:20:15.04\00:20:19.08
Well, people have been
sponsoring Facebook ads and
00:20:19.45\00:20:22.25
we've got five different
ads and there's one that's on
00:20:22.25\00:20:26.12
talking about focusing
on 3ABN Plus, plus app.
00:20:26.12\00:20:29.16
There's one that we
have on a biblical focus ad.
00:20:29.39\00:20:31.63
There's another one
that's on made for health.
00:20:31.96\00:20:33.80
So we're having these different
ads that we want people to be
00:20:34.03\00:20:36.16
able to sponsor on
Facebook to be able to have...
00:20:36.16\00:20:40.44
Get 3ABN known out to the world.
00:20:41.14\00:20:44.07
Yeah.
00:20:44.07\00:20:44.11
That's great.
00:20:44.54\00:20:49.08
metropolitan areas.
00:20:49.08\00:20:50.41
Or across the US
and different countries.
00:20:50.41\00:20:53.11
As a matter of
fact, we've got some...
00:20:53.31\00:20:54.52
A sample, two
samples of our Facebook ads.
00:20:54.52\00:20:57.15
We can take a look
at those right now.
00:20:57.29\00:20:58.45
Are you concerned about what's
happening in our world today?
00:20:58.89\00:21:02.09
Discover the truth in
Daniel and Revelation.
00:21:02.79\00:21:05.36
Learn about salvation through
Jesus Christ and explore a wide
00:21:05.86\00:21:09.53
range of
biblically sound teachings.
00:21:09.53\00:21:11.97
3ABN is dedicated to creating

00:21:12.63\00:21:16.74
designed to foster spiritual
growth and its dedicated
00:21:16.74\00:21:20.31
viewers.
00:21:20.31\00:21:20.98
3ABN programs are also a great
resource for those looking to
00:21:21.58\00:21:24.55
take their faith
journey even further.
00:21:24.55\00:21:26.85
Or just discovering
3ABN for the first time.
00:21:27.22\00:21:29.78
Here are a few samples.
00:21:30.42\00:21:31.69
The wages of sin is what?
00:21:32.15\00:21:33.32
Death.
00:21:33.52\00:21:39.06
death but the second death.
00:21:39.06\00:21:41.16
Yes.
00:21:41.16\00:21:44.63
is eternal life.
00:21:44.63\00:21:45.63
And as we trace eternal
covenant of redemption from
00:21:46.13\00:21:51.21
Genesis to Revelation
you will gain a more intimate
00:21:51.21\00:21:55.41
understanding of God's
amazing self-sacrificing love.
00:21:55.41\00:22:00.18
This is such a beautiful
picture of our Savior and of
00:22:00.45\00:22:03.82
the gospel of Jesus Christ
because the gospel comes to us
00:22:03.82\00:22:06.82
not to condemn
us but to save us.
00:22:06.82\00:22:09.19
Jesus Christ came not to
condemn the world but that the
00:22:09.39\00:22:11.99
world through
him might be saved.
00:22:11.99\00:22:13.66
3ABN is the perfect destination
for Bible truths that you can
00:22:14.20\00:22:18.63

your smart device and watch us
00:22:19.90\00:22:23.44
today.
00:22:23.44\00:22:23.84
So that's just one of the
ads that we have that has a
00:22:24.81\00:22:27.64
biblical focus on it.
00:22:27.64\00:22:28.84
So it talks about preaching and
teaching some of the different
00:22:28.88\00:22:31.81
content that we
have there on 3ABN.
00:22:31.81\00:22:34.15
Well done, Ricky.
00:22:34.45\00:22:35.75
I just want to say, yeah.
00:22:35.78\00:22:36.69
Yeah, fantastic.
00:22:36.69\00:22:37.55
Ricky is an amazing
editor, amazing graphics.
00:22:37.72\00:22:41.32
Thank you so much because
not only you're providing
00:22:42.26\00:22:44.36
leadership for this department
but you can actually make it
00:22:44.36\00:22:47.83
happen and edit them
and put them together.
00:22:47.83\00:22:49.73
It's incredible.
00:22:49.83\00:22:50.67
So as Ricky mentioned, there's
five different ads for Facebook
00:22:51.07\00:22:54.67
that we've created.
00:22:54.67\00:22:55.67
One's on music, one's on kids,
one's on health, one's on the
00:22:55.94\00:23:00.24
biblical one.
00:23:00.24\00:23:00.91
That's the one we just watched.
00:23:00.91\00:23:02.41
And what's the fifth one?
00:23:02.91\00:23:04.18
I'm missing it.
00:23:04.28\00:23:05.01
Addiction?
00:23:05.48\00:23:05.81
The app.
00:23:06.58\00:23:06.92
The app, the app.
00:23:07.08\00:23:08.02
So the important thing is
that you can, I know the call
00:23:08.25\00:23:11.72
center's open right now, you
can say, yes, I want to partner
00:23:11.72\00:23:14.86
with 3ABN in evangelism and
maybe you want to sponsor some
00:23:14.86\00:23:20.30
of these Facebook ads
throughout not just North
00:23:20.30\00:23:23.50
America but
throughout the world.
00:23:23.50\00:23:24.80
We've done some of
them in Europe, in London.
00:23:24.97\00:23:27.80
We've done some of them
here in the United States.
00:23:28.10\00:23:30.31
So you can give us a call
right now at 618-627-4651.
00:23:30.34\00:23:35.94
That number
again is 618-627 -4651.
00:23:36.38\00:23:39.61
And all you have to
say is I want to sponsor.
00:23:39.68\00:23:42.15
I want to become involved
in sponsoring some of these
00:23:42.15\00:23:45.62
Facebook ads.
00:23:45.62\00:23:46.82
What it does is people who are
just scrolling on their social
00:23:46.89\00:23:50.36
media accounts and
people do that all the time now.
00:23:50.36\00:23:52.93
They're just scrolling.
00:23:53.06\00:23:54.20
They're going to come across
3ABN's ad and they'll think,
00:23:54.46\00:23:57.43
oh, I didn't know
anything about this.
00:23:57.47\00:23:59.13
Let me look more into 3ABN.
00:23:59.43\00:24:01.64
So it's a way that
you can evangelize.
00:24:01.67\00:24:03.97
It's the same way as you would
give Bible studies or you'd
00:24:04.14\00:24:06.68
knock on somebody's door
and try to witness this is
00:24:06.68\00:24:09.21
evangelism.
00:24:09.21\00:24:13.52
together and then we can
just spread that out to sponsor
00:24:13.52\00:24:16.72
these Facebook ads.
00:24:16.72\00:24:17.52
And you can also go
to our website, 3ABN.org.
00:24:18.19\00:24:21.59
When you get there on the site,
just scroll down and you'll see
00:24:21.96\00:24:24.53
a button there that says
3ABN quick donation button.
00:24:24.53\00:24:27.86
So click on that button.
00:24:27.93\00:24:28.90
That will take
you to another page.
00:24:29.16\00:24:31.17
And then on that page, look for
a button that says donate 381
00:24:31.40\00:24:36.00
social media.
00:24:36.00\00:24:37.17

00:25:27.36\00:25:30.19
Here are a few samples.
00:25:30.46\00:25:31.79
You hear people say that
they've run out of energy.
00:25:32.09\00:25:34.36
Why is that?
00:25:34.56\00:25:35.30
Do we use it all up and
then there's no more left?
00:25:35.66\00:25:37.90
I'm talking about the energy
we need to survive and function,
00:25:38.93\00:25:42.04
feel alive and vibrant, and
it turns out that energy has a
00:25:42.30\00:25:45.54
source.
00:25:45.54\00:25:48.88
abundant amounts of ATP
but used in the right way.
00:25:48.88\00:25:54.25
And the brain is the organ in
our body that actually utilizes
00:25:54.38\00:25:59.55
the most energy.
00:25:59.55\00:26:00.69
And all the vasculature, in
fact, it's the most vascular
00:26:01.26\00:26:04.53
organ in the body requires
energy and requires energy
00:26:04.53\00:26:07.83
constantly and it
requires clean energy.
00:26:07.83\00:26:10.57
Don't miss out on this
opportunity to take charge of
00:26:11.10\00:26:13.84
your health and unlock the
fullness of life that God wants
00:26:13.84\00:26:17.04
you to have.
00:26:17.04\00:26:18.04
Watch Made For Health on
3ABNplus.tv or download the
00:26:18.81\00:26:23.88
3ABNplus app on
your smart device.
00:26:23.88\00:26:26.41
Wow.
00:26:29.38\00:26:29.65
Amen.
00:26:29.68\00:26:30.19
Again, good job, Ricky.
00:26:30.25\00:26:33.62
is that so the one on health,
let's say, so let's say someone
00:26:33.62\00:26:37.39
is interested in health by some
of their searches that they're
00:26:37.39\00:26:39.19
doing on social media, they may
not even be a Christian, right?
00:26:39.19\00:26:42.10
But then however all these
algorithms work on the back end
00:26:42.40\00:26:45.83
of all these social media
platforms, it could then kind
00:26:45.83\00:26:49.20
of send them this ad just
to see what they think of it.
00:26:49.20\00:26:51.17
Is that how that works?
00:26:51.17\00:26:51.21
And then they can click on the
link and it will take them to
00:26:52.47\00:26:55.38
your 3ABNplus site, which will
take them to, for that Made For
00:26:55.38\00:26:59.51
Health, it'll take
them to that series.
00:26:59.51\00:27:01.65
If it's a Kids Network
ad, it'll take them to a whole
00:27:01.78\00:27:04.89
playlist of Kids
Network programs.
00:27:04.89\00:27:06.69
If it's someone on this
biblical focus, it'll take them
00:27:07.22\00:27:10.26
to a whole section
on sermons and teaching.
00:27:10.26\00:27:13.13
So depending on what the ad is,
we'll take them to a different
00:27:13.73\00:27:17.60
part of 3ABNplus.
00:27:17.60\00:27:18.90
No, that's powerful.
00:27:19.17\00:27:20.20
Wow.
00:27:20.44\00:27:20.70
Yeah, thank you.
00:27:20.87\00:27:21.47
Top notch job there.
00:27:21.80\00:27:22.94
Thank you.
00:27:23.14\00:27:26.54
wife on this.
00:27:26.54\00:27:27.34
That's a great
bonus right there.
00:27:29.24\00:27:31.08
Amen.
00:27:31.65\00:27:31.98
Thank you again.
00:27:32.08\00:27:35.05
through social media.
00:27:35.05\00:27:36.02
So again, if they have any
questions, Jill, the best way
00:27:36.82\00:27:38.35
is just to call 3ABN.
00:27:38.35\00:27:39.19
That's right.
00:27:39.52\00:27:39.89
Absolutely.
00:27:39.92\00:27:40.39
Give us a call.
00:27:40.49\00:27:41.06
618-627-4651.
00:27:41.29\00:27:44.19
We'd love to answer your
questions pertaining to that or
00:27:44.73\00:27:47.30
take your donations so that
this gospel can continue going
00:27:47.30\00:27:50.87

00:27:50.87\00:27:51.93
Or you can always write
us or go online at 3ABN.TV.
00:27:52.20\00:27:55.77
So there's many ways we
want to connect with you.
00:27:55.87\00:27:58.74
All right.
00:27:59.37\00:27:59.94
What should we go to next?
00:28:00.08\00:28:01.01
A lot here we
were talking about.
00:28:01.11\00:28:02.51
There is indeed.
00:28:03.04\00:28:04.15
Jeff, let's switch gears
a minute and talk about plan
00:28:04.48\00:28:07.35
giving and trust services.
00:28:07.35\00:28:08.48
Well, we have been very
busy as well this past year.
00:28:09.02\00:28:11.85
And we've had a good
addition to our team.
00:28:12.22\00:28:15.09
Tracy Reddeneier, she has
completed the trust officer
00:28:15.72\00:28:19.33
training.
00:28:19.33\00:28:19.76
Good for her.
00:28:19.89\00:28:23.77
officer and a part of our team.
00:28:23.77\00:28:25.17
And she has been
working on the account review.
00:28:25.23\00:28:28.57
So if you receive an account
review in the mail and you
00:28:28.64\00:28:31.74
haven't completed it yet,
please take the five minutes
00:28:31.74\00:28:34.48
and complete that form and
send it back because it is very
00:28:34.48\00:28:37.71
important so that we can
keep current and accurate
00:28:37.71\00:28:40.18
information, contact
information from our viewers in
00:28:40.18\00:28:43.72
our files.
00:28:43.72\00:28:44.59
So if you haven't and if you
haven't and don't turn it in,
00:28:44.95\00:28:47.82
you'll be getting a
phone call from Tracy.
00:28:48.12\00:28:49.69
And she has a very powerful and
lively voice and wonderful to
00:28:49.89\00:28:55.03
talk to on the phone.
00:28:55.03\00:28:55.86
So if you don't fill it out,
you'll be getting a call from
00:28:56.26\00:28:58.57
Tracy.
00:28:58.57\00:28:59.27
A couple other things that I'd
like to just talk about for a
00:28:59.83\00:29:03.27
few minutes.
00:29:03.27\00:29:03.97
My wife and I have been
traveling around the United
00:29:04.41\00:29:06.17
States this past
year visiting clients.
00:29:06.17\00:29:08.51
We have been also settling
up some trust where some of our
00:29:09.18\00:29:12.51
clients have went to sleep
in Jesus and settling those.
00:29:12.51\00:29:15.38
We just got back from
California about a month ago
00:29:15.78\00:29:19.59
and visiting with a few real
just precious souls that love
00:29:19.59\00:29:23.53
3ABN and want to take and be
a part of the 3ABN ministry by
00:29:23.53\00:29:27.66
donating their
property or their resources.
00:29:27.66\00:29:30.30
And then we took and
participated in a conference at
00:29:31.23\00:29:34.20
Loma Linda while
we were out there.
00:29:34.20\00:29:35.67
So we had a
wonderful time out there.
00:29:36.30\00:29:38.44
Something that if you haven't
done a document with 3ABN or
00:29:38.84\00:29:41.91
anybody else, I'd encourage
everyone to consider putting
00:29:41.91\00:29:45.78
3ABN as a beneficiary on any
of your documents that needs a
00:29:45.78\00:29:50.55
beneficiary.
00:29:50.55\00:29:51.19
Just a small percentage.
00:29:51.52\00:29:53.25
So if you have a life insurance
policy, an IRA, anything that
00:29:53.56\00:29:56.99
has a beneficiary
designation, you can do that.
00:29:56.99\00:30:00.76
You don't have to contact 3ABN.
00:30:00.83\00:30:02.23
It's in the privacy of
your own family, your own self.
00:30:02.40\00:30:05.30
So you can do that.
00:30:05.70\00:30:06.90
Then whenever you go to sleep
in Jesus, there is nothing.
00:30:07.07\00:30:10.61
It's a smooth transition.
00:30:10.71\00:30:11.91
And all of a sudden
3ABN receives a check to help
00:30:13.01\00:30:15.71
proclaim the gospel message.
00:30:15.71\00:30:17.08
And we receive these checks
on a regular basis from precious
00:30:17.58\00:30:20.82
souls that have been so
generous to include 3ABN.
00:30:20.82\00:30:24.79
Because the Lord wants us to
be good stewards of our time,
00:30:25.32\00:30:27.79
talents, testimonies, of our
funds now as we take and leave
00:30:27.92\00:30:32.76
this earth.
00:30:32.76\00:30:33.43
He's blessed us with all this
and we should take and return
00:30:34.00\00:30:37.30
the blessing that are passing.
00:30:37.30\00:30:38.93
Only 32% of American adults
have some form of estate plan.
00:30:39.93\00:30:45.11
That's it.
00:30:45.21\00:30:45.84
That's it.
00:30:45.91\00:30:46.34
32%.
00:30:46.57\00:30:47.11
And that is declining.
00:30:47.11\00:30:48.14
So with that, we would
encourage you to take and talk
00:30:49.01\00:30:53.48
with your own legal counsel,
if you'd like to take and talk
00:30:53.48\00:30:56.72
with 3ABN.
00:30:56.72\00:31:01.06
at 3ABN.
00:31:01.06\00:31:01.86
And we have two camp meetings a
year and that we have workshops
00:31:02.32\00:31:05.66
at.
00:31:05.66\00:31:09.76
interactive workshop.
00:31:09.76\00:31:10.83
We'll take and
answer your questions.
00:31:11.20\00:31:12.57
We'll tell you what 3ABN can
offer and how we can assist you
00:31:12.70\00:31:16.34
through estate
planning, plan giving.
00:31:16.84\00:31:19.37
So you have the option of
coming and being here in person
00:31:19.74\00:31:22.58
in the summer and in the fall
at the camp meetings or call us
00:31:22.58\00:31:26.25
anytime.
00:31:26.25\00:31:26.61
We're always
here at 800-886 -4800.
00:31:27.08\00:31:30.69
Let's say that
number one more time.
00:31:30.89\00:31:32.49
800-886-4800.
00:31:33.89\00:31:36.06
So you can give us a call.
00:31:36.16\00:31:37.36
That phone rings directly into
our office and Nancy, Tracy or
00:31:37.69\00:31:41.33
I will take and be there and to
answer those questions for you.
00:31:41.33\00:31:44.07
You know, Jeff, I was
just going to comment on that
00:31:44.50\00:31:46.07
because that's just really good
because people don't have to be
00:31:46.07\00:31:48.87
worried about calling up
because we don't believe in any
00:31:48.87\00:31:50.77
type of high pressure.
00:31:50.77\00:31:51.61
You know, we
consider you family.
00:31:51.97\00:31:54.51
You're a partner, which you are.
00:31:54.94\00:31:56.34
You're a partner, but
it's not like you can.
00:31:56.48\00:31:58.51
You've got to do
documents with 3ABN.
00:31:58.61\00:32:00.12
If you have any question
pertaining to that, Jeff or the
00:32:00.25\00:32:02.52
staff be happy to talk to you
like he was just mentioning it.
00:32:02.52\00:32:04.89
You've already got some
documents that may be already
00:32:04.89\00:32:04.92
written to your like
local attorney or whatever.
00:32:06.82\00:32:09.26
How do I actually make it, you
know, as far as the beneficiary
00:32:09.62\00:32:11.79
aspect of things and they
can talk to you about that.
00:32:11.79\00:32:13.66
So we're happy to
talk to you here at 3ABN.
00:32:13.70\00:32:16.06
Please understand that
you are part of the family.
00:32:16.20\00:32:18.40
We love you.
00:32:19.00\00:32:19.83
We know you love
the ministry of 3ABN.
00:32:19.90\00:32:22.20
And so just call our
departments like Jill was
00:32:22.44\00:32:24.47
talking and call the call
center this evening or like
00:32:24.47\00:32:26.54
Jeff's department.
00:32:26.54\00:32:29.74
have pertained to plan,
given especially for you.
00:32:29.74\00:32:31.48
Absolutely.
00:32:31.75\00:32:34.85
from Idaho.
00:32:34.85\00:32:39.49
then they took and removed
their property and the trust
00:32:39.49\00:32:42.22
went dry.
00:32:42.22\00:32:45.53
into assisted living and
he was out there to help them
00:32:45.53\00:32:48.83
transition.
00:32:48.83\00:32:53.60
we could do and
help in the situation.
00:32:53.60\00:32:55.37
And I suggested they went
to the Idaho Conference to get
00:32:55.67\00:32:58.94
their documents updated there.
00:32:58.94\00:33:01.01
And then he was concerned about
how is mom and dad's rent at
00:33:01.18\00:33:05.41
the living
facility going to be paid.
00:33:05.41\00:33:07.45
I said, well, they already
have an account here at 3ABN.
00:33:07.92\00:33:10.15
When they sell their home, they
can take that funds, put it in
00:33:10.52\00:33:13.39
their account here at 3ABN.
00:33:13.39\00:33:14.92
We will get in
contact with the facility.
00:33:15.16\00:33:17.16
They'll send us
the monthly bill.
00:33:17.46\00:33:19.63
We'll send the
payment to the facility.
00:33:20.40\00:33:22.16
So the family does not
have to worry about any of the
00:33:22.76\00:33:25.63
financial transaction back and
forth for mom and dad's care.
00:33:25.63\00:33:29.00
So that's a blessing.
00:33:29.70\00:33:30.54
I mean, that's a
service that 3ABN offers.
00:33:30.67\00:33:32.61
A tremendous
service that we offer.
00:33:33.51\00:33:35.78
And then we have two reasons
people do not have an estate
00:33:36.78\00:33:41.98
plan is procrastination.
00:33:41.98\00:33:43.72
And we're all procrastinators.
00:33:43.79\00:33:45.02
I mean, that's
just human nature.
00:33:45.49\00:33:46.72
32 percent, right?
00:33:46.72\00:33:48.19
It's all that have documents.
00:33:48.39\00:33:49.52
Yes, only a third.
00:33:49.92\00:33:50.73
A third.
00:33:51.53\00:33:51.93
And the other is expense.
00:33:52.26\00:33:53.66
3ABN pays the expense if
you take and set up a document
00:33:54.63\00:33:56.90
here.
00:33:56.90\00:33:57.53
And that's another
tremendous blessing.
00:33:57.83\00:33:59.53
So what about, I think,
isn't there annuity C.G.A.?
00:34:01.40\00:34:04.17
You were going to talk
to a little about that.
00:34:04.17\00:34:06.04
If you are 65 years old or
older, you can take and create
00:34:06.14\00:34:11.35
a charitable gift
annuity with 3ABN.
00:34:11.35\00:34:13.95
And the rates are better
than they've been in years.
00:34:14.88\00:34:18.09
So if you are interested
in those, I'll just give you a
00:34:18.55\00:34:21.49
couple of examples.
00:34:21.49\00:34:22.26
If you're 65, it's a 5.7
percent interest rate for the
00:34:22.66\00:34:26.96
rest of your life.
00:34:26.96\00:34:27.76
So the interest
rate is guaranteed.
00:34:28.03\00:34:29.56
Locked in.
00:34:29.66\00:34:29.96
Locked in.
00:34:30.03\00:34:30.87
That is as of the
date of this program.
00:34:30.93\00:34:32.67
Correct.
00:34:32.77\00:34:33.00
Yes.
00:34:33.23\00:34:38.14
Wow.
00:34:38.51\00:34:38.97
Yes.
00:34:39.21\00:34:43.35
So if you're at home and you're
90 years old and you've got
00:34:43.68\00:34:47.95
some money that you'd like
to put in a charitable gift
00:34:47.95\00:34:49.98
annuity, give us
a call here at 3ABN.
00:34:49.98\00:34:52.79
And right now, you could get
10 .1 percent interest on your
00:34:53.12\00:34:57.53
investment for
the rest of your life.
00:34:57.53\00:34:59.13
And the charitable
gift annuity is irrevocable.
00:34:59.23\00:35:01.40
It is irrevocable.
00:35:01.43\00:35:02.00
We want to be clear about that.
00:35:02.13\00:35:03.50
Once you make that decision,
it's not like you can change
00:35:03.50\00:35:05.70
that decision.
00:35:05.70\00:35:06.30
It's irrevocable.
00:35:06.43\00:35:07.04
That's absolutely correct.
00:35:07.20\00:35:08.30
That's not your emergency fund.
00:35:08.37\00:35:09.60
Right.
00:35:09.64\00:35:10.04
That is irrevocable.
00:35:10.17\00:35:11.27
That is a document
that is written in stone.
00:35:11.37\00:35:14.88
Wow.
00:35:14.88\00:35:19.15
is less than one percent.
00:35:19.15\00:35:20.38
I know, right?
00:35:20.88\00:35:21.58
It sounds great.
00:35:21.78\00:35:22.55
It is.
00:35:22.82\00:35:23.32
Yes, it is amazing.
00:35:23.32\00:35:24.85
And the last thing that I'll
just touch on is appreciated
00:35:25.12\00:35:29.46
property, whether that
is real estate or stocks.
00:35:29.46\00:35:32.99
If you have something that's
highly appreciated and you want
00:35:33.96\00:35:37.57
to take and not pay the taxes
that you would if you was going
00:35:37.57\00:35:41.67
to sell it and have capital
gains, you can create a crud.
00:35:41.67\00:35:45.01
It is then invested tax free.
00:35:45.51\00:35:48.94
It grows tax free.
00:35:49.18\00:35:50.95
And you get a payment off of
that for basically a 20 years
00:35:51.41\00:35:55.52
is normally how they're set
up and basically a 5% return.
00:35:55.52\00:35:58.92
So you can take and if you've
got a piece of property that's
00:35:59.29\00:36:02.99
increased $200,000 in value,
you don't have to pay capital
00:36:02.99\00:36:06.23
gains on that $200,000.
00:36:06.23\00:36:07.66
It all gets invested and
you get to take and draw your
00:36:07.86\00:36:11.77
interest off of that for 20
year period and that principal
00:36:11.77\00:36:15.87
grows tax free.
00:36:15.87\00:36:17.71
And is that one
irrevocable as well?
00:36:18.34\00:36:20.24
It is irrevocable as well.
00:36:20.41\00:36:21.81
But we've talked about a lot of
things but really they need to
00:36:22.14\00:36:23.71
call that number, Jeff.
00:36:23.71\00:36:24.28
What's that number again?
00:36:24.35\00:36:25.18
Talk to you and your staff.
00:36:25.25\00:36:26.25
800-886-4800.
00:36:26.58\00:36:29.75
That's great.
00:36:30.02\00:36:30.72
Yeah, that's a
good number to memorize.
00:36:30.95\00:36:32.29
So is this soul as you're
getting interest, you're also
00:36:32.62\00:36:36.59
3B and also benefits in the
preaching of the gospel in this
00:36:36.59\00:36:38.93
state.
00:36:38.93\00:36:39.06
Absolutely.
00:36:39.43\00:36:45.90
money and it is a tremendous
amount and it is a tremendous
00:36:45.90\00:36:50.34
blessing.
00:36:50.34\00:36:50.84
So it's really a win-win for
the person creating the crud as
00:36:51.54\00:36:55.41
well as 3ABN.
00:36:55.41\00:36:56.54
So if you want to partner with
3ABN, be an evangelist there at
00:36:56.64\00:37:00.72
home through your finances.
00:37:00.72\00:37:02.15
These are wonderful
ways that they can do that.
00:37:02.82\00:37:05.49
Speaking of evangelism,
Jasmine, let's talk about
00:37:07.46\00:37:10.19
there's many things but
what about 3ABN ambassadors?
00:37:10.19\00:37:12.76
Let's start with that.
00:37:12.93\00:37:13.73
We're looking for
ambassadors in every church.
00:37:13.96\00:37:16.20
So what's that about?
00:37:16.23\00:37:16.87
We are.
00:37:16.90\00:37:21.04
and preach the
gospel to every creature.
00:37:21.04\00:37:22.60
And 3ABN has been doing a
fantastic job for almost 40
00:37:22.84\00:37:25.54
years.
00:37:25.54\00:37:25.94
That's right.
00:37:25.94\00:37:29.74
urgent need to get the gospel
and the three angels messages
00:37:29.74\00:37:32.75
out on a massive scale.
00:37:32.75\00:37:34.22
So we need the help of our
church members and that's why
00:37:34.75\00:37:38.22
we are inviting them to partner
the 3ABN Ambassador Program.
00:37:38.22\00:37:42.19
So what is an ambassador?
00:37:42.92\00:37:44.49
An ambassador is someone who
is a Christian, Adventist, who
00:37:45.09\00:37:48.26
loves the Lord, who has a
burden for souls and they want
00:37:48.26\00:37:51.73
to be the contact
between 3ABN and the church.
00:37:51.73\00:37:54.90
What will an ambassador do?
00:37:55.74\00:37:57.07
They'll assist in
getting 3ABN into local prisons.
00:37:57.51\00:38:00.48
Sometimes it's just a
connection when you just give
00:38:00.51\00:38:02.61
us the decision-makers contact
information, getting 3ABN into
00:38:02.61\00:38:06.75
retirement homes and hospitals,
getting 3ABN on cable, their
00:38:06.75\00:38:11.79
local cable network
and introducing 3ABN's life
00:38:11.79\00:38:15.66
-changing programs and
resources of their church and
00:38:15.66\00:38:19.16
their local community.
00:38:19.16\00:38:20.16
And I'd like to talk about one
of our ambassadors who is doing
00:38:20.60\00:38:23.16
that in Kingston, Jamaica.
00:38:23.16\00:38:24.67
We'll bring up a picture here.
00:38:24.80\00:38:26.10
Ricky and I had the pledge for
visiting Kencott in December.
00:38:27.17\00:38:32.04
So we'll look at
the first picture.
00:38:32.17\00:38:33.58
Wow, great.
00:38:33.78\00:38:34.84
Yeah, it's nice.
00:38:35.24\00:38:35.98
This is the church.
00:38:35.98\00:38:36.01
thousand members.
00:38:39.55\00:38:40.48
And the next picture is a
picture with our ambassador,
00:38:41.62\00:38:44.65
Teresa.
00:38:44.72\00:38:45.45
I'll talk more
about her in a minute.
00:38:46.42\00:38:48.19
The next picture is
Elder Wallace, who was happy to
00:38:48.52\00:38:51.99
receive another
resource, 3ABN Bible Studies.
00:38:51.99\00:38:55.16
First time
they're seeing it there.
00:38:55.56\00:38:57.00
And then we have Sister Karen,
who was delighted to win one of
00:38:57.27\00:39:03.27
those books, Words
of Hope and Comfort.
00:39:03.27\00:39:05.44
We played a 3ABN Cahoot
game and she won that prize.
00:39:05.67\00:39:09.14
I love that.
00:39:09.21\00:39:10.31
And then this is
Senior Pastor, Pastor Shaw.
00:39:10.38\00:39:13.52
And Teresa is
doing a fantastic job.
00:39:15.32\00:39:17.79
They're having an Evangelical
Series this month and she's
00:39:18.05\00:39:21.19
going to be presenting 3ABN.
00:39:21.19\00:39:22.82
As you know, the first night
of the meeting, opening night, a
00:39:23.89\00:39:26.93
lot of people will come
and many may not come back.
00:39:26.93\00:39:29.13
But they're leaving, knowing
about 3ABN and getting one of
00:39:29.20\00:39:33.03
the sharing cards so they
can figure out how to watch.
00:39:33.03\00:39:36.74
Ways to watch.
00:39:37.37\00:39:38.44
There's a sharing card.
00:39:39.14\00:39:39.97
So people can call 3ABN and
we will send out the sharing
00:39:40.34\00:39:42.91
cards.
00:39:42.91\00:39:43.31
Is that right?
00:39:43.31\00:39:43.75
Yes.
00:39:43.98\00:39:44.35
Free of charge.
00:39:44.41\00:39:44.81
Free of charge.
00:39:45.11\00:39:45.65
So you can call us at 618-627
-4651 and say, I want one of
00:39:46.35\00:39:51.89
these sharing cards.
00:39:51.89\00:39:55.16
watch 3ABN, their business card
size and they're excellent to
00:39:55.16\00:39:58.19
be able to share with people.
00:39:58.19\00:39:59.19
So you mean they can
call the call center tonight?
00:39:59.29\00:40:00.63
I mean they're open
and they'll send them some.
00:40:00.66\00:40:02.20
Absolutely.
00:40:02.40\00:40:02.80
That's great.
00:40:02.80\00:40:03.40
That's a good deal.
00:40:03.40\00:40:06.10
That's wonderful.
00:40:06.10\00:40:07.24
Teresa is also marketing the
Sabbath School Panel to the in
00:40:07.90\00:40:12.27
-person congregation and
those who worship online.
00:40:12.27\00:40:14.54
Good for her.
00:40:15.94\00:40:19.98
them.
00:40:19.98\00:40:20.45
Everybody's on board.
00:40:20.55\00:40:21.25
They just love 3ABN.
00:40:21.42\00:40:22.95
And let's talk about what 3ABN
ambassadors are doing locally.
00:40:24.72\00:40:28.49
A lot of them are blanking
in their blanket in their area
00:40:29.46\00:40:32.33
with these door hangers and we
can bring up a picture of those
00:40:32.33\00:40:37.03
who have never seen them.
00:40:37.03\00:40:37.97
They can be customized, yes.
00:40:38.13\00:40:39.60
So they could be customized
with maybe local cable number
00:40:39.87\00:40:43.00
for how you can watch 3ABN
in your local community or maybe
00:40:43.00\00:40:46.11
if it's on
rabbit ears or however.
00:40:46.11\00:40:47.81
Exactly.
00:40:47.88\00:40:51.51
That's a good idea.
00:40:51.71\00:40:52.51
Are these free?
00:40:53.52\00:40:54.55
They are free.
00:40:54.82\00:40:55.58
Free shipping too.
00:40:56.45\00:40:57.75
So there's no excuse.
00:41:00.32\00:41:01.92
No excuse.
00:41:02.06\00:41:04.79

conference handing out free
00:41:40.13\00:41:42.43
resources.
00:41:42.43\00:41:43.16
And we have several of them.
00:41:43.63\00:41:45.20
And we're also looking for more.
00:41:45.93\00:41:47.37
Would you like me to
mention the ones we have so far?
00:41:47.44\00:41:49.34
Oh, sure.
00:41:49.50\00:41:49.94
Just mention them.
00:41:50.17\00:41:50.74
We have the Arkansas
Louisiana Conference.
00:41:51.14\00:41:52.77
We have the North

00:42:05.65\00:42:06.59
So any of those conferences
people could, if you go, you're
00:42:06.86\00:42:11.39
going to see a 3ABN booth with
a 3ABN ambassador and you have
00:42:11.39\00:42:15.13
products there.
00:42:15.13\00:42:15.73
Right.
00:42:15.90\00:42:16.33
And if you want to be a
volunteer, you don't have to be
00:42:17.03\00:42:18.93
an ambassador but if you
want to be a volunteer to host a
00:42:18.93\00:42:21.70
table at your camp
meeting, please call me.
00:42:21.70\00:42:24.74

00:42:29.08\00:42:29.58
618-627-4651, extension 3130.
00:42:30.68\00:42:34.58
Yeah, you're doing a great job.
00:42:35.65\00:42:36.79
We appreciate, you know, the
excitement that you present as
00:42:37.02\00:42:40.12
people are calling in and
all excited about evangelism and
00:42:40.12\00:42:42.62
how they can partner with 3ABN.
00:42:42.62\00:42:44.26
And speaking of excitement,
I'm excited about a brand new
00:42:44.46\00:42:47.40
resource.
00:42:47.40\00:42:47.96
This is a new sharing card.
00:42:48.06\00:42:49.83
Do we have a picture of that?
00:42:49.93\00:42:51.53
We do.
00:42:51.53\00:42:52.00
And I like that
it has a QR code.
00:42:52.37\00:42:54.67
You just scan it and it
brings up the 13-part series.
00:42:54.74\00:42:57.97
These are wonderful.
00:42:58.07\00:42:59.41
For made for health.
00:42:59.41\00:43:01.21
And these are
available and they're free.
00:43:02.51\00:43:04.65
So they need to call tonight,
get the sharing cards, get the
00:43:05.65\00:43:07.75
made for health sharing cards
and then ask about the door
00:43:07.75\00:43:10.22
hangers this evening.
00:43:10.22\00:43:11.12
There's a lot of reasons why
you should call the call center
00:43:11.42\00:43:14.32
tonight.
00:43:14.32\00:43:14.69
What else do we have?
00:43:16.09\00:43:17.19
Just one last thing.
00:43:17.29\00:43:18.39
I want to remind our viewers
about the Words of Comfort book
00:43:18.49\00:43:21.00
by Cinder Saner.
00:43:21.00\00:43:22.16
I want to remind him that 100%
of the proceeds go towards the
00:43:22.26\00:43:26.10
Kids Network.
00:43:26.10\00:43:26.60
Oh, amen.
00:43:26.70\00:43:27.37
That's great.
00:43:27.57\00:43:28.17
And those are
some inside pictures.
00:43:28.90\00:43:30.64
That's beautiful.
00:43:30.91\00:43:34.41
Cinder Saner
herself with her cell phone.
00:43:34.41\00:43:36.64
So yeah, just beautiful quality
and great scriptures there as
00:43:37.05\00:43:40.58
well.
00:43:40.58\00:43:44.32
Thank you for
what you were doing.
00:43:44.39\00:43:45.75
My pleasure.
00:43:45.82\00:43:48.46
out.
00:43:48.46\00:43:48.82
Amen.
00:43:48.99\00:43:50.83
If you want to be an
ambassador, how do they contact
00:43:50.96\00:43:53.93
you, Jasmine?
00:43:53.93\00:43:54.66
We got to get your
card up here again.
00:43:54.73\00:43:56.13
618-627-4651, extension 3130 or
email me jasmin.carter at 3abn
00:43:58.20\00:44:07.08
.org.
00:44:07.08\00:44:08.04
Great job.
00:44:09.41\00:44:09.94
Thank you so much for all
you're doing for the ministry
00:44:10.61\00:44:12.75
of 3ABN.
00:44:12.75\00:44:13.31
Mr. Pastor and Mrs. Denzi.
00:44:14.92\00:44:17.52
So talk to us about, I don't
know where you want to start.
00:44:18.19\00:44:20.66
We'll start with Cuba.
00:44:21.19\00:44:22.32
How about that?
00:44:22.72\00:44:23.36
Recently went to Cuba
because the work must go on.
00:44:24.66\00:44:28.56
As many people know, 3ABN
Latino is on what they call the
00:44:29.83\00:44:35.37
weekly television package.
00:44:35.37\00:44:38.31
You want to call it network.
00:44:38.91\00:44:40.34
And that allows us to put a
portion of our programming that
00:44:40.88\00:44:45.15
goes nationwide.
00:44:45.15\00:44:46.92
Every city, every little town,
every province, 3ABN Latino is
00:44:47.18\00:44:52.05
on.
00:44:52.05\00:44:58.86
And we're just going to show
a video of him because it has to
00:44:58.99\00:45:01.36
be translated into English.
00:45:01.36\00:45:02.80
So this is Giovanni Gonzalez
that you will see on the screen
00:45:03.30\00:45:07.87
for those of us
that are watching.
00:45:07.87\00:45:09.24
And Giovanni,
he is the director.
00:45:09.74\00:45:13.44
And it is a
miracle that we found him.
00:45:13.68\00:45:17.21
We've told that story, but
it's a miracle that we found him
00:45:17.98\00:45:20.45
because it seemed like there
were hundreds of places to buy
00:45:20.45\00:45:26.09
the package.
00:45:26.09\00:45:26.72
And we found him
on the second one.
00:45:27.06\00:45:29.02
It's an amazing miracle.
00:45:29.42\00:45:30.56
We don't have time to share
it, but he is the director.
00:45:30.69\00:45:32.93
And he is so excited about
3ABN that he is promoting 3ABN.
00:45:33.36\00:45:39.10
It has impacted his family.
00:45:39.50\00:45:41.10
He has made changes in his diet.
00:45:41.50\00:45:43.51
And recently also he started
visiting places where the
00:45:44.91\00:45:48.84
package is to see how
things are going, to see how his
00:45:48.84\00:45:52.11
affiliates are handling things.
00:45:52.11\00:45:54.82
And they say, what kind of
programming are they asking?
00:45:55.25\00:45:57.02
Well, I don't know.
00:45:57.52\00:46:01.16
And he was surprised that it
happened in several places he
00:46:01.49\00:46:05.53
went to.
00:46:05.53\00:46:06.16
He was
specifically asking for 3ABN.
00:46:06.39\00:46:09.16
They're not asking for the soap
operas and the shows and the
00:46:09.23\00:46:12.53
movies.
00:46:12.53\00:46:13.00
They're asking for 3ABN.
00:46:13.10\00:46:14.34
So this is a
marvelous, marvelous thing.
00:46:14.50\00:46:17.14
And he, I said to him in the
interview, I said to him, tell
00:46:17.54\00:46:20.88
me, during COVID everything
stopped because I mean
00:46:20.88\00:46:24.65
everything stopped.
00:46:24.65\00:46:25.35
Churches were closed.
00:46:25.41\00:46:26.41
Cuba was one of
those places like the U.S.
00:46:27.22\00:46:29.15
You may remember some
places you can't come here.
00:46:29.15\00:46:31.32
It's closed.
00:46:32.19\00:46:33.02
Cuba was one of those places
that put actually put police
00:46:33.62\00:46:37.69
barricade.
00:46:37.69\00:46:38.89
You couldn't cross from one,
like one province to another.
00:46:38.93\00:46:42.53
And I said, so what
happened during that time?
00:46:42.86\00:46:44.90
Well, normally our people go on
the road and they go around to
00:46:45.47\00:46:50.14
take the package every week.
00:46:50.14\00:46:52.47
And some of them do download
it from some place, but most of
00:46:52.77\00:46:56.64
them can't because the
internet is expensive and slow.
00:46:56.64\00:46:59.71
So he said during the COVID
our package had to take flight.
00:47:01.48\00:47:05.35
So they were actually flying
within Cuba, the programming to
00:47:05.49\00:47:10.56
places.
00:47:10.56\00:47:13.36
Seeds are being planted and
we are expecting great, great
00:47:13.63\00:47:16.83
blessings.
00:47:16.83\00:47:17.30
Have to go quickly.
00:47:17.70\00:47:18.80
I was able to meet with
the Council of Churches and we
00:47:19.23\00:47:22.67
presented the interest
in bringing Bibles to Cuba.
00:47:22.67\00:47:25.34
Yes.
00:47:25.71\00:47:27.18
Don't worry.
00:47:27.18\00:47:27.88
But the Council of Churches has
approved bringing Bibles in and
00:47:28.84\00:47:32.75
we're going to talk
about that some more.
00:47:32.75\00:47:34.52
This is an exciting project.
00:47:34.72\00:47:35.85
It's an exciting project
and we have some details to talk
00:47:35.88\00:47:39.85
about.
00:47:39.85\00:47:41.76
Also was able to talk to
the, they call it a mission,
00:47:42.89\00:47:45.89
conference and mission in Pinar
de Rio, the mission Pinarena.
00:47:45.89\00:47:51.50
You can go online
and check that out.
00:47:52.17\00:47:54.24
Pastor Walter Santos and told
them about some of the things
00:47:54.40\00:47:58.81
we want to do.
00:47:58.81\00:48:03.81
with our Trivian
programming to do Bible studies.
00:48:03.81\00:48:07.52
So it's an amazing thing
and he is a busy, busy guy.
00:48:07.62\00:48:11.39
He's one of those,
what do you call it?
00:48:11.75\00:48:13.86
On fire for the Lord people.
00:48:13.96\00:48:15.36
But anyway, one of the
interesting thing was that as I
00:48:15.36\00:48:18.29
was leaving, there was this guy
that started talking to us and
00:48:18.29\00:48:23.53
he said, you're from 3ABN?
00:48:23.53\00:48:24.60
I said, yes.
00:48:24.63\00:48:25.33
3ABN made a great
impact in my life.
00:48:27.10\00:48:29.44
How is that?
00:48:30.17\00:48:31.27
Because he said, I was a
member of another denomination.
00:48:31.47\00:48:34.54
I was actually studying to be
a pastor and somebody gave me a
00:48:34.91\00:48:38.48
booklet called The Forgotten
Commandment by Danny Shelton.
00:48:38.48\00:48:42.32
And that was way, way
back about 16 years ago.
00:48:42.78\00:48:45.32
And now he's a director of
evangelism for that mission.
00:48:46.12\00:48:49.39
Praise the Lord how he works.
00:48:50.69\00:48:51.86
Praise the Lord.
00:48:51.86\00:48:52.49
I was able to meet with the
union, Pastor Aldo Joel and the
00:48:53.06\00:48:57.80
new secretary of the
union and good meetings.
00:48:57.80\00:49:01.57
We praise the Lord so
much to share about Cuba.
00:49:01.94\00:49:04.71
Things are very difficult right
now in Cuba and 3ABN is there
00:49:05.91\00:49:09.88
at such a time of need that it
is a light for people and this
00:49:09.88\00:49:15.15
may be one of the
reasons why people are looking.
00:49:15.15\00:49:17.02
They're looking for hope.
00:49:17.02\00:49:17.99
That's right.
00:49:18.22\00:49:21.76
doing a
wonderful work also there.
00:49:21.76\00:49:24.03
So 3ABN is giving
a push in evangelism.
00:49:24.33\00:49:27.30
Praise the Lord for that.
00:49:27.46\00:49:28.16
What about Costa Rica?
00:49:28.50\00:49:31.13
Mrs. Denzi, you both were
down there for an incredible
00:49:31.40\00:49:34.60
evangelistic series.
00:49:34.60\00:49:35.44
Thank you for asking.
00:49:35.94\00:49:37.04
Well, evangelizing with
power, which is in Spanish,
00:49:38.37\00:49:41.08
evangelizando con poder.
00:49:41.34\00:49:42.88
We had not been able to do this
because when the pandemic came
00:49:43.51\00:49:48.55
around, it just
put a halt to it.
00:49:48.55\00:49:51.25
But it was so humbling
and encouraging to receive 20
00:49:51.25\00:49:56.79
volunteers that said,
here I am, Lord, send me.
00:49:56.79\00:50:01.46
And they went to preach.
00:50:01.46\00:50:03.16
We had 70
simultaneous campaigns.
00:50:03.60\00:50:07.70
70?
00:50:07.74\00:50:08.10
70.
00:50:08.67\00:50:09.37
Zero.
00:50:09.37\00:50:09.87
The 20 representatives from
3ABN Latino but the conference
00:50:11.81\00:50:16.81
wanted to join in the
purpose of the evangelizing.
00:50:16.81\00:50:21.18
And that's how it became
70 evangelistic crusades.
00:50:21.65\00:50:27.49
Now we do have a video.
00:50:27.79\00:50:28.99
We're going to talk over it so
that you can see the difference
00:50:29.32\00:50:33.13
as we started the event.
00:50:33.13\00:50:34.93
We got together.
00:50:35.26\00:50:36.00
We had worship.
00:50:36.40\00:50:37.17
We divided into prayer sessions.
00:50:37.17\00:50:40.20
And she is a doctor that came
from Guatemala her first time.
00:50:40.64\00:50:43.84
He is also from Mexico.
00:50:44.31\00:50:47.51
And we had 10 representatives
from Guatemala, two from
00:50:47.81\00:50:53.01
Honduras, four from Mexico, two
from Texas, one from Maryland.
00:50:53.01\00:50:58.72
And there were quite a
few that could not come.
00:50:58.89\00:51:02.59
This lady here is Zayda.
00:51:02.66\00:51:04.69
She went with her daughter.
00:51:04.69\00:51:05.83
Her daughter was the singer
for her evangelistic crusade.
00:51:05.83\00:51:09.03
She had seven baptisms.
00:51:09.16\00:51:10.50
And Carlos here, it's the first
time that he attends or takes
00:51:11.27\00:51:15.44
part of the
evangelistic crusade.
00:51:15.44\00:51:17.01
These are small
churches and big churches.
00:51:17.01\00:51:17.04
As you can contemplate the
youth preaching, these young
00:51:19.24\00:51:24.05
people are young professionals.
00:51:24.05\00:51:25.48
There's one young man that went
and turned 21 as we were there
00:51:25.78\00:51:30.62
in Costa Rica.
00:51:30.62\00:51:31.59
He is a forestal engineer.
00:51:32.09\00:51:35.26
And he was in a very
hot or dangerous area.
00:51:35.92\00:51:39.89
And he thought, oh, what
am I doing here, Lord, please?
00:51:40.16\00:51:43.03
But eventually he had
three baptisms in this area.
00:51:43.33\00:51:46.74
This was also an altar call.
00:51:47.27\00:51:48.74
And oh my, this
church here is a small group.
00:51:49.64\00:51:53.11
And these precious souls, they
have about 30 children coming
00:51:53.34\00:51:57.91
to this special group.
00:51:57.91\00:52:00.12
But every night they would
do questions about the previous
00:52:00.58\00:52:04.32
topic.
00:52:04.32\00:52:07.79
And you are going to see
their Bibles so marked and
00:52:07.96\00:52:11.46
highlighted.
00:52:11.46\00:52:12.03
And they were in tune and
parents would answer wrong, but
00:52:12.63\00:52:15.26
the kids were right.
00:52:15.26\00:52:16.23
Pastor Torres, he did a
bilingual series by himself.
00:52:18.33\00:52:21.84
He preached in
Spanish and English.
00:52:22.00\00:52:24.14
And Sister Simona is her first
time coming and joining us.
00:52:25.14\00:52:29.38
But every morning
we would have worship.
00:52:29.58\00:52:31.58
We would sing together.
00:52:31.75\00:52:32.88
We would pray together.
00:52:32.88\00:52:34.55
And we had the director of
evangelism from the conference.
00:52:35.08\00:52:38.82
And we just got together to
pray for each other and pray
00:52:39.22\00:52:43.49
for the people coming.
00:52:43.49\00:52:44.33
And this is one of the
323 baptisms that took place.
00:52:44.63\00:52:48.73
And they say, praise the Lord
that in his hands we can make a
00:52:48.83\00:52:54.94
difference no matter where
the Lord calls us as long as we
00:52:54.94\00:52:59.17
hold the light in the torch.
00:52:59.17\00:53:01.28
So we praise the Lord for all
the people that took the time.
00:53:01.28\00:53:06.01
We had people of all ages,
young people, older people,
00:53:06.48\00:53:10.02
people coming back to
the church as this lady did.
00:53:10.19\00:53:12.92
So she had not congregated, but
she was invited to the series.
00:53:13.32\00:53:16.83
And it was curious that it was
bilingual and she went to the
00:53:16.99\00:53:20.96
English speaking church there.
00:53:20.96\00:53:22.60
We appreciate the conference.
00:53:23.26\00:53:24.63
We're letting us use
the whole channel studio.
00:53:24.70\00:53:26.80
Yes, the conference had us as
a studio and they let us use it
00:53:26.94\00:53:29.94
to take part of the interviews
because we are preparing a
00:53:29.94\00:53:33.21
documentary on this
evangelistic experience.
00:53:33.21\00:53:36.31
And we interview as many of
the speakers that we possibly
00:53:36.51\00:53:40.75
could.
00:53:40.75\00:53:41.32
We had the director of
evangelism for the Villahermosa
00:53:41.85\00:53:45.69
Tabasco Mexico
Conference join us.
00:53:45.69\00:53:47.76
And that's the
team there that you saw.
00:53:49.59\00:53:51.19
And we call it evangelizing
with power because we're
00:53:51.43\00:53:54.13
thinking of Acts chapter one.
00:53:54.13\00:53:55.76
Jesus says, and you will
receive power when the Holy
00:53:56.33\00:53:58.73
Ghost has come upon you.
00:53:58.73\00:53:59.83
And so, by the way, these,
Yidalia said they're volunteer
00:54:00.54\00:54:03.87
speakers because
they pay their own way.
00:54:03.87\00:54:05.94
And they take vacation
time and they join us for this
00:54:06.17\00:54:09.31
evangelistic crusade.
00:54:09.31\00:54:11.28
It's a evangelistic crusade and
it's a powerful, powerful thing
00:54:11.61\00:54:14.98
to see lives being transformed.
00:54:14.98\00:54:16.62
We just praise the Lord
for the people that join us.
00:54:17.09\00:54:19.99
And it's an
amazing, amazing thing.
00:54:19.99\00:54:20.02
Lives have been transformed.
00:54:22.02\00:54:23.09
By the way, some of the people
that could not join us, the
00:54:23.49\00:54:26.83
conference is opening up the
end of July because some people
00:54:26.83\00:54:30.37
had issues getting visas to
get there and somebody had a
00:54:30.37\00:54:34.40
sickness in the
family, couldn't make it.
00:54:34.40\00:54:35.80
So in July, they
have a second chance.
00:54:35.90\00:54:37.44
So I know you're going to be
working on, which we don't want
00:54:38.47\00:54:40.51
to say the place yet,
but you're working on another
00:54:40.51\00:54:42.41
evangelistic series for
next year where people can
00:54:42.41\00:54:44.15
participate, right?
00:54:44.15\00:54:45.28
I think it's in the spring
of next year, 2025, right?
00:54:45.31\00:54:48.92
So if they have any questions,
they just need to be stay tuned
00:54:48.92\00:54:51.75
to 3ABN, but also they
can reach out to 3ABN Latino,
00:54:51.75\00:54:54.09
correct?
00:54:54.29\00:54:56.46
That's right.
00:54:56.86\00:54:57.96
Amen, praise the Lord.
00:54:58.63\00:55:00.33
We're almost at
the end of the program.
00:55:00.83\00:55:02.46
Maybe for one minute, can you
just talk to us about Honduras
00:55:02.46\00:55:05.27
and what happened?
00:55:05.27\00:55:05.83
You just came back last week.
00:55:05.97\00:55:06.84
We'll let Hidalgo start.
00:55:06.94\00:55:07.80
God is doing marvelous work and
I believe that 3ABM is a tool
00:55:09.27\00:55:14.58
for evangelism.
00:55:14.58\00:55:16.08
We met many, many, many,
many viewers that follow, but we
00:55:17.05\00:55:21.45
heard of many, many, many, many
testimonies of people who came
00:55:21.45\00:55:25.29
to the Lord because
of 3ABM Latino as fruit.
00:55:25.29\00:55:28.49
So we want to thank the
administration from the Inter
00:55:28.82\00:55:31.76
-American Division.
00:55:31.76\00:55:32.76
We were with Dr. Elly Henry and
also Dr. Belvin Braham and also
00:55:33.03\00:55:41.70
Pastor Powell who led
this Evangelistic Crusade.
00:55:41.70\00:55:46.01
They had preaching all
week, but it was a high Sabbath.
00:55:46.01\00:55:49.24
I don't know exactly,
over a thousand baptisms.
00:55:49.68\00:55:52.55
I'll tell you how many.
00:55:52.55\00:55:53.62
Yes, go right ahead.
00:55:53.62\00:55:55.05
I have the latest update.
00:55:55.65\00:55:57.49
Actually, you
mentioned Pastor Elly Henry.
00:55:57.79\00:55:59.75
He's the Inter-American
Division president.
00:55:59.82\00:56:01.42
He was there.
00:56:01.66\00:56:02.26
