00:00 I want to spend my life, mending broken people.
00:15 I want to spend my life, removing pain. 00:25 Lord, let my words heal a heart that hurts. 00:36 I want to spend my life, mending broken people. 00:46 I want to spend my life, mending broken people. 01:06 Hello and welcome to another 3ABN Today Behind the Scenes. 01:10 We are so glad that you have joined us. 01:12 We look forward to spending these two hours with you each 01:16 Thursday evening. 01:17 And you know, Jill, I like the Behind the Scenes program 01:19 because it's really praising the Lord for what He is doing 01:22 through the ministry of 3ABN. 01:24 And I believe that 3ABN is here for such a time as this, at 01:29 this moment in Earth's history. 01:32 And I also want to say I believe that you are also here 01:35 on this earth for a reason and a purpose. 01:37 God has you here. 01:38 You are not here by accident. 01:40 You know, we all have the opportunity of being able to 01:43 share the love of Jesus with our fellow brothers and 01:46 sisters. 01:48 It could be just like have a great day, a friendly smile or 01:51 it could be having Bible studies in your home. 01:54 But you are not here by accident. 01:56 You know, I was, there was a lady that I was talking to on 01:59 the phone, a 3ABN viewer and a listener. 02:02 And she was talking about she couldn't really get out. 02:04 But she had like a phone call ministry, phone call or making 02:08 phone calls to some church members and friends that needed 02:10 encouragement and also a card ministry as well. 02:13 So even if you can't get out, there's something that God has 02:15 for you. 02:19 table. 02:19 We do indeed. 02:21 Before we move to the family, I just want to say you look very 02:23 handsome tonight, sweetheart. 02:24 I like this little bow tie going on. 02:27 Well, you're very kind. 02:29 This is a date on the 3ABN set. 02:30 Hey, yeah, we're having a Thursday night date. 02:32 The two of us with the rest of our family. 02:34 With you at home. 02:36 So tell us about your bow tie because you don't usually wear 02:38 bow ties. 02:38 You know, I don't. 02:39 I usually wear a tie, that's true. 02:41 And this bow tie is, you can probably hear it. 02:44 I think Zach's running audio, but this is not plastic. 02:48 It's actually wooden, has a pattern in it. 02:50 And this is actually made by my mom's cousin, Dr. Lowell 02:53 Hamill. 02:57 And he makes these. 02:58 A lot of the bow ties come from wood that's harvested from his 03:01 property. 03:04 And so I told him, I said, you know what? 03:06 Thank you so much for this wonderful gift. 03:08 I'm going to wear it on the next 3ABN behind the scenes 03:11 program. 03:15 gift. 03:16 And it's kind of fun. 03:17 It's kind of a unique piece. 03:20 And yeah, it actually doesn't feel too stiff. 03:22 You know, it's just still wrapped around my neck. 03:24 And it's just right here. 03:25 It's just, I don't know, it's solid, but almost could be 03:29 protection from my throat or something. 03:32 It's fun. 03:33 So thank you so very much. 03:34 Nice gift. 03:35 So thank you, Uncle Lowell. 03:36 And we want to introduce the family around the table 03:38 tonight. 03:41 God is doing in and through the ministry of 3ABN. 03:45 We'll have some family the first hour and then we'll trade 03:48 out for the second hour. 03:49 For tonight, we have Daniel Perrin, Professor Perrin is 03:53 what we always call you. 03:54 But Daniel, of course, is the assistant manager at our 3ABN 03:58 Pastoral Department. 03:59 And so glad you're here tonight. 04:00 That's right. 04:00 Thank you. 04:03 We are taught by him. 04:05 It's good to be here. 04:06 Thank you so much for being here. 04:08 Coming around the table, we have singer in Israel, Ryan 04:12 Day. 04:12 And someone had just... 04:13 This was someone who watched the Sabbath School panel a lot. 04:16 And then they said, now I know why you all call him singer in 04:19 Israel. 04:22 I get that a lot. 04:23 Do you get that a lot? 04:26 the Sabbath School panel, and they're like, I didn't know you 04:28 could sing. 04:31 You sing all the time. 04:31 I sing all the time. 04:32 But it happens, I guess. 04:35 I like that though, you know, because we have what we call 04:38 changing rooms here at 3B. 04:39 We've been in between programs and we're changing clothes for 04:41 the next program. 04:44 different tie or a coat. 04:45 Yup, that's right. 04:46 And the Lord's given you a great gift, but also energy 04:49 too. 04:49 So thank you for that. 04:50 And Ryan, I neglected to mention, but you all already 04:53 know this, General Manager of our 3B and Praise Him Music 04:56 Network and our coordinator for S.O.D., School of Discipleship, 05:00 which we'll be talking about here tonight. 05:03 Coming around the table, we have the assistant coordinator 05:05 for our School of Discipleship, as well as 3ABN producer, Ian 05:09 Vandervaal. 05:10 Glad to have you here. 05:10 Thank you so much for having me tonight. 05:12 It's a pleasure to be here on the behind the scenes, because 05:15 we all get to see, you know, what has been going on over the 05:18 last month or so. 05:19 And it's just incredible to see God at work and what He's doing 05:22 through this ministry and through each of us. 05:23 And to be a part of that is humbling. 05:26 Yeah, praise the Lord. 05:28 You know, I know we want to go to some music and we want to 05:30 talk about 3ABN Camp Meeting that is just right around the 05:33 corner. 05:34 We want to talk about an incredible project about 05:37 getting some books out and, of course, School of Discipleship. 05:40 But I want to just... 05:42 Ryan, I was thinking about the times that we live in and we 05:45 just came from a rally in Dodge Center, Minnesota, which we'll 05:49 show... 05:51 on. 05:56 in this world, there seems to be so much anxiety, stress. 06:02 A lot of people wondering what's going to happen. 06:04 And when we were there, there was a really powerful song that 06:07 you did for church that to me is... 06:13 How would you describe it? 06:15 Where it's like everyone in the audience participates with you. 06:17 And to me, it provides such hope, right? 06:22 So you think about... 06:23 Tell me a little bit about that song and why you actually do 06:25 that song too because it means so... 06:27 It means a lot to me and how you do it too means a lot. 06:30 So it's in our hymn. 06:32 It's not probably saying as often. 06:36 It's not a hymn you hear as often on any given Sabbath at 06:40 church. 06:43 doing an evangelistic series in North Carolina. 06:46 And this particular elder stood up at the church and he told 06:49 the story behind the song of why he did the little call and 06:53 response thing because we had... 06:56 I think it was an evangelist back in the day who would also 07:01 do this song in all of his evangelistic series. 07:04 And the title of the hymn is Never Part Again. 07:07 Never Part Again. 07:09 And so he would get up in all of his evangelistic series and 07:13 of course the chorus says... 07:17 What? 07:18 Never Part Again? 07:19 Yeah, yeah. 07:20 We're traveling through Emmanuel's land. 07:22 We soon shall hear the trumpet sound and soon we shall with 07:28 Jesus reign and never, never part again. 07:32 And then he would always prompt the audience and the audience 07:36 would go, What? 07:37 Because it's the actual lyrics. 07:39 Never part again. 07:41 And then the response, No, never part again. 07:45 And there's this little call and response, What? 07:47 And the audience says, What? 07:48 Never part again. 07:49 And I love the way that's written because I feel like 07:52 just as you've brought out clearly, that's our longing. 07:56 It's expressing our longing because all we've ever known in 07:59 this life is death and pain and sorrow and hurt and heartache 08:03 and the fact that we have to, for a time, part from our loved 08:09 ones because of the results of sin in the world that we've, 08:12 this is all we've ever known. 08:14 And it just expresses, the author of that song expresses 08:16 it so clearly. 08:18 What? 08:19 Never part again? 08:21 No, never part again. 08:22 And so, yeah, we did that. 08:24 We have done it at 3B in camp meeting a couple times and try 08:27 to do it a few times on the road in our rallies. 08:29 And so, yeah, people enjoy singing it. 08:32 I enjoy singing it. 08:33 The words are just beautiful and it really expresses, I 08:36 believe, the longing of God's people. 08:39 We're at a time where we're longing, we're yearning. 08:41 We're at that point where it's like Spirit and the Bride, 08:43 please. 08:47 want to go home and bring an end to all of this mess. 08:51 You know, and so, thank you for sharing that because, you know, 08:54 I just wanted to tell you this right now. 08:56 Like we talked about just a couple of minutes ago. 08:57 We want to, 3ABN is all about hope and we want you to be 09:01 encouraged this evening. 09:02 We all are longing for a better land. 09:04 But let's hang on. 09:05 Hang on a little bit longer, right? 09:07 Because Jesus Christ is coming. 09:09 We're on a journey. 09:10 Yes, and some journeys are absolutely, to me, horrendous. 09:13 Some of the tragedies that may be happening even right now in 09:17 your own life. 09:18 But that's what the ministry of 3ABN is all about. 09:21 3ABN is about mending broken people and you may be the 09:23 person that's being mended right now. 09:25 And it's because of your prayers and your continued 09:28 financial support for this ministry, your ministry, God's 09:32 ministry, 3ABN, that we're able to provide this hope and 09:35 encouragement. 09:39 in Earth's history. 09:40 And thank you, Ryan, for again singing that song at the rally. 09:43 Of course, we enjoyed going but it just again provided such 09:45 hope and encouragement to me that we're passing through this 09:47 land looking for an eternal land. 09:49 Amen. 09:51 We do speak in the music. 09:52 Tim Parton, Brother Tim Parton. 09:53 He was there too. 09:54 He was at the rally. 09:56 He recorded the song a little bit ago we want to go to. 09:59 It's called Power in the Blood and there is truly power in the 10:03 blood of Jesus. 13:12 Amen. 13:12 Thank you so much, Tim Parton. 13:15 Power in the blood. 13:16 We are redeemed by the blood of Jesus. 13:18 And that redemption is part of that healing process we were 13:22 talking about. 13:23 The mending broken people. 13:24 When we present Jesus, when Jesus is lifted up and 13:28 glorified, all people will be drawn to him and he's the one 13:31 who brings us healing. 13:33 Amen. 13:37 Ian Vandervalk. 13:38 We have a full first hour and then we'll be trading out 13:41 guests for the second hour. 13:43 We were talking about the rally. 13:44 We just came from Dodge Center, Minnesota. 13:47 Want to give a special thanks to the McNeilas family. 13:51 They worked very hard with the coordination there providing 13:55 food. 13:56 We had a wonderful time. 13:58 And Pastor Joel, I don't know how to pronounce his last name, 14:01 Keratsky maybe, the pastor of the church there. 14:03 And the church members just opening up their doors and 14:06 getting to meet the 3ABN family. 14:09 I know Tim Parton was there. 14:11 Danny and Yvonne Shelton were there. 14:12 They can't be with us tonight. 14:14 But Ryan, what was your experience like being at the 14:16 rally? 14:20 They are. 14:21 Because obviously we're here most of the time in the studio. 14:24 So we don't get to see our viewers face-to-face as often. 14:28 But when we get to go out on these rallies, it's just so 14:31 amazing and powerful just to meet people face-to-face and to 14:35 hear them express their thanks, you know, how much the Sabbath 14:39 School panel means to them. 14:41 The family worships that you guys do are wonderful. 14:44 And the music is such inspirational. 14:46 And so just to be able to connect with people and to hear 14:49 them express thanks to us for, you know, the efforts that we 14:53 put into doing this. 14:54 And then, I don't think our viewers realize just how much 14:57 of a blessing they are because we wouldn't be here doing this 15:01 and what we're doing if it wasn't for them. 15:03 That's correct. 15:06 And so it's very much kind of a reciprocal response because now 15:12 we get to say to you guys when we go out, in this case Dodge 15:15 Center, the people of Dodge Center are so wonderful. 15:17 You know, thank you for watching and thank you for 15:19 supporting and for praying for us. 15:21 And so, yeah, I got to use my singing gift while I was there 15:27 and me and Tim just praised the Lord in song and to be able to 15:31 sing the way we got to take a couple of requests while we 15:33 were there and sing some songs from people who had made some 15:36 requests. 15:36 It was just awesome. 15:37 It was awesome. 15:42 We got to do some tours while we were there and see some of 15:45 the local, what the McNeely's family has done to build in 15:50 that community is just amazing. 15:52 And so just to be able to connect, to me that's, the 15:55 rally is all about connecting with the people and to be able 15:58 to sit down with them and to chat with them and just to meet 16:01 them on a personal level and to show them that we're real 16:03 people too, right? 16:04 Because sometimes they want to come, can I get your autograph? 16:06 I'm like, I'm not a celebrity. 16:09 I want people to see that we're people just like they are and 16:13 we appreciate each and every person that comes and that came 16:17 to Dodge Center and just want to thank you all. 16:19 Thank you to the McNeely's family and to Pastor Joel for 16:23 having us to come out because it was a blessing. 16:26 We leave there filled up, filled up and excited to be 16:29 able to connect with our 3ABN family. 16:31 Amen. 16:34 of the family, right? 16:34 We talk about this all the time. 16:36 You're part of the 3ABN family and so when we get to go out to 16:38 these rallies, to me it's like kind of have a family reunion 16:41 type thing, you know? 16:42 We're taking pictures and stuff, you know? 16:43 Some people say, can we take pictures? 16:45 I'm like, absolutely. 16:45 We're family. 16:48 So, I mean, this, yeah, nobody's a celebrity here. 16:50 We're all just human beings. 16:51 We, you know, just normal people. 16:53 So it's wonderful to meet our family and many people traveled 16:56 from outside the state to come there to Dodge Center. 16:59 I know some were close to North Dakota, Fargo, North Dakota and 17:02 from Iowa and one lady I believe flew up from Georgia. 17:06 She was, I think, visiting some family but also timed it right 17:09 with the rally. 17:10 So just a great time of fellowshipping and praising the 17:13 Lord and again special thanks to the McNeilises and Pastor 17:15 Joel. 17:18 Great fellowshipping. 17:21 people shared with you. 17:23 To me when we, as you mentioned Ryan, we're sitting in the 17:25 studio and we just look at the glass camera, you know? 17:28 But when we get to meet you, you're our family and I always 17:30 say when we go back now, right now, I can see your faces. 17:33 I can see the faces of the people that we talked with, the 17:36 people that we prayed with, the people who are going through 17:40 challenges right now and you are part of the 3ABN family and 17:44 we love you and we love that opportunity to connect with 17:49 you. 17:53 Seventh Day Adventist Church because of this ministry. 17:57 Different stories, different journeys but all had the 18:01 similarity of somehow stumbling upon the ministry at 3ABN. 18:06 This was God-ordained and to see that the messages 18:10 presented, the biblical truth presented and Jesus being 18:15 lifted up won their hearts and so praise the Lord. 18:18 I think we have a few pictures Ian so let's put them up and 18:20 we'll just talk about them as we go through here. 18:23 This is from the back of the church there. 18:25 I think Ryan, we can't even see at the moment but I think 18:27 you're singing and Tim's at the piano there. 18:30 They had overflow. 18:31 We can just keep moving through the pictures. 18:32 They had overflow in the fellowship hall. 18:35 This is a young man who read that scripture. 18:39 Didn't he do a great job? 18:41 He read the Great Commission. 18:43 Mr. Danny spoke of course for church. 18:44 I love that. 18:45 Here's Danny and Yvonne sharing there. 18:47 I think this is in the afternoon there. 18:49 These two little girls I met, precious and we got to eat 18:54 lunch together so they are my sisters in Jesus now. 18:59 That's great because you had young families and those that 19:01 have more experience and it was a wide range of ages and just 19:04 excitement. 19:07 all excited about evangelism. 19:08 I know they're excited about evangelism and while you could 19:11 feel it in fact you could see it. 19:13 Not just feel it, you could see it because I know we're going 19:16 to talk about Sod in just a few moments which is what we do. 19:18 It's all about discipleship and evangelism but I was just 19:21 amazed to see not only the McNeil family but they told us 19:24 that there's several other families in that church that 19:27 are in active small group Bible studies right now and they're 19:31 adding to the church all the time just to see the fruit of 19:34 the labor there that they're actually carrying out that 19:36 evangelism cycle. 19:38 So praise the Lord for what's going on in Dodge Center of 19:40 Minnesota. 19:41 Very powerful and you're right because the McNeil's and other 19:43 families are very evangelistically minded and 19:46 believe in it a hundred percent. 19:48 We should talk about, you want to talk about the book? 19:50 We should because the call center is open this evening. 19:51 I just stopped because the call center is open. 19:52 We should go to this and then wherever you want to go. 19:55 Can the Christian Church affirm LGBTQ? 19:59 This is the latest book actually written by Danny 20:02 Shelton and it's excellent across the board for 20:06 denominations. 20:07 You could say well this is just written for the Seventh 20:08 Adventist Church, no because this is a biblical topic and 20:12 it's one that's come to the forefront you could say in our 20:16 culture today and because of that churches are wrestling 20:20 with this topic. 20:21 What are we supposed to do with LGBTQ and can we affirm it in 20:26 the church and is it actually sin and what do we do with 20:29 people in the church? 20:30 We are to love people that is very clear but what are we to 20:34 do with that sin and are we allowed to call it sin? 20:37 So 3ABN has a brand new initiative where we are people, 20:43 you at home our 3ABN family are sponsoring this booklet to be 20:49 mailed into churches across North America. 20:52 So we just started with the first sponsorship. 20:56 We had pallets of these go up to the printer and this booklet 20:59 is being put in with a flyer in an envelope and is being mailed 21:03 to each. 21:07 the Baptist denomination and right now it's going out to 21:10 every Baptist church in North America and for 49 cents per 21:15 church you can send the booklet and the flyer and that includes 21:18 the postage. 21:22 We want to go to different churches. 21:24 There's many different churches who need to hear this. 21:27 So we want to go to many different churches and sponsor 21:30 that. 21:33 sponsor the mailing of this booklet into churches across 21:37 North America you can give us a call right now at 618-627-4651. 21:43 That's 618-627-4651 or you can go and send snail mail. 21:51 Yeah, a check. 21:52 Write us a check. 21:54 That still works too and just put the church mailing. 21:57 That will be fine. 22:01 go online to 3ABN.TV and on the donate tab just click on the 22:07 LGBTQ booklet and that will help sponsor these booklets to 22:11 go into churches. 22:12 Yeah, isn't the I think the donation code is it 350? 22:15 I believe it is for that. 22:16 Jill is going to look that up just to confirm. 22:17 But yeah, what a great opportunity. 22:19 No donation is too small. 22:20 So you think about it. 22:24 someone will send one dollar in sometimes 60 cents. 22:26 Sometimes a person sends 10,000 or 1,000 or 500 but a lot of 22:30 five dollar, 10 dollar. 22:31 And so like Jill is saying if you want to just put church 22:33 mailing on your check it's amazing. 22:35 One dollar will send basically two of these booklets out to 22:38 two different churches and I was shocked as we went through 22:42 the mailing list. 22:46 said the Baptist churches which would be Free Real Baptist, 22:48 First Baptist and of course it's going to go then to those 22:52 churches here in the United States and that 49 cents 22:55 includes the postage to that church, the booklet, the flyer 22:57 and the special envelope. 22:59 So I'm really excited about this because God asks us to 23:02 just put the word out. 23:03 This also is promoting 3ABN in it as well. 23:05 So there's the opportunity for that church to say you know 23:08 what our church would like some of these booklets to pass out 23:10 to read but also it shares about what 3ABN is all about. 23:13 So to me it's a great evangelism opportunity as well. 23:17 So I just really appreciate the team that worked so hard to 23:20 bring that price down to less than 50 cents to ship out of 23:23 one book and the flyer and the envelope and everything to one 23:26 church. 23:27 So what an opportunity. 23:29 I think we talked about this about a month ago and the money 23:31 has been coming in. 23:35 the printing plant to do all the inserting and do all the 23:38 postage. 23:42 and shakers as Mr. Danny says and thank you again for jumping 23:45 on board this great evangelism project. 23:48 It is fun code 350. 23:49 You have a good memory. 23:50 It is 350. 23:51 All right. 23:51 350. 23:54 donate. 23:58 this project. 24:00 Great. 24:02 School of discipleship. 24:04 You start Ryan and everybody can jump in. 24:06 Okay. 24:12 the 3ABN School of Discipleship in July, you need to do that. 24:16 Those dates are July chapter... 24:18 chapter. 24:19 You've been studying the Bible. 24:21 I've been studying the Bible too. 24:23 Actually, it's a great chapter in your life. 24:26 I promise you. 24:27 It will be a defining chapter in your life. 24:30 Boy, that's really thinking quick right there, by the way. 24:32 Tie that in. 24:33 Okay. 24:35 I've actually been... 24:36 I've been given a lot of Bible study talks over the last few 24:38 days. 24:39 There's a chapter then. 24:41 July 5. 24:42 That's what we're trying to say. 24:43 July 5 through 14, a brand new session of the 3ABN School of 24:47 Discipleship. 24:53 .com. 24:54 It's right there on your screen. 24:57 3ABNSOD.com. 24:58 And I'm just going to show you what it looks like here. 25:00 I don't know if you could see it on my screen here. 25:02 Let me see if I can brighten it up a little bit. 25:05 Maybe, maybe it's a little too bright there. 25:06 But there it is. 25:07 So it'll look something like this right here. 25:10 And you can see the tabs across the top there and read our 25:14 handbook. 25:15 You can even download the handbook and read it for free. 25:17 By the way, download the handbook and read it. 25:19 Even if you don't download it, just read it. 25:21 Read through the whole thing. 25:22 I mean, it's very quick. 25:23 I think it's like 14 pages. 25:25 It might even be less than that. 25:26 Very, very quick read, but it gives you all of the 25:29 information about the 3ABN School of Discipleship. 25:32 This is an intensive. 25:34 It's a one-week intensive. 25:35 So you arrive on Friday, July 5, and then we will have, 25:42 basically you'll come in and you'll sign in and we'll get 25:44 you registered and get you put into your 3ABN apartment. 25:48 We house you. 25:52 just a moment. 25:52 But you'll come in, you'll sign in. 25:54 We'll get you to your house and then the next day, very 25:57 relaxed, we just worship together, get to know each 25:59 other on Sabbath the 6th, and then starting Sunday, the 7th, 26:04 all the way through to the 14th or through the 13th, the 26:08 Sabbath the 14th, 13th, we are actually going to be doing our 26:14 classes. 26:18 'clock in the evening every single day. 26:20 We're going to open up the spiritual fire hydrant. 26:23 We're going to let the Holy Spirit set all of us on fire 26:27 and teaching us how to be disciples and how to make 26:30 disciples for Jesus Christ. 26:32 And so come, come to the 3ABN School of Discipleship. 26:36 Actually we have a promo video. 26:38 You want to play the promo video and then we're going to 26:39 come back to Ian and Ian's going to tell us a little bit 26:41 more about the program. 26:42 So let's go to the video now. 26:48 When you think about what it means to make disciples for 26:50 Christ, it's not just teaching people a bunch of doctrines or 26:53 teaching people a bunch of set of beliefs. 26:56 We baptize people. 26:57 We hope the church would nurture them, but unfortunately 26:59 a church doesn't always nurture. 27:01 And one of the reasons for that is because they're not always 27:03 trained to nurture. 27:05 We can teach doctrines and we can share doctrines and all 27:07 those things are super important. 27:09 But really it's meeting people where they're at. 27:12 What does it mean to be a true disciple? 27:15 It means to love someone else to Christ. 27:19 I wanted to deepen my relationship with Christ and to 27:22 gain skills to share my faith. 27:24 You don't get any official leadership training when you 27:27 step up in a position in church. 27:29 I just felt like I needed further training. 27:32 I wanted to be recharged. 27:34 I wanted to know that I was doing His will. 27:38 My husband went to the first sod class. 27:41 When he came back he was a different person. 27:43 He just had such a piece that I had not ever seen in him 27:48 before. 27:49 And I just said I want this too. 28:30 Whether it's the classroom time, the morning worship time, 28:33 the morning prayer time, the meals, the fellowship, there is 28:37 so much that you're going to get from this. 28:39 If you're on the fence just jump over the fence and come on 28:42 over. 28:44 It is an incredible blessing to just have this and it's going 28:48 to be even more of a blessing to share. 28:49 You're going to come back strengthened. 28:52 You're going to come back a little wiser because your focus 28:55 will have been on Jesus the entire week. 28:58 This is where our disciples are truly made. 29:07 Wow! 29:08 Amen! 29:09 The promo was well done. 29:10 I think Brandon Armstrong did that. 29:11 Yay for Brandon! 29:13 Brandon Armstrong! 29:15 It makes me want to go to Sod myself. 29:18 And I've been to three. 29:19 I don't sit in all the classes but of course Jill and I like 29:21 to come and say hello to the students. 29:23 What an encouraging time and I tell you just hearing their 29:25 testimonies. 29:26 Wow! 29:26 So inspiring! 29:27 Amen! 29:27 Praise the Lord. 29:35 edit the video, he was there this past class from early 29:38 morning all the way to late in the evenings with that camera 29:42 and he was there and he was getting all the footage and so 29:45 praise the Lord for Brandon. 29:46 Thank you my brother for all that you do for us. 29:48 Your talents are great. 29:50 But yeah, when you come to Sod, I just want to talk really 29:53 quickly about the classes and what you can experience in 29:56 terms of the curriculum and the education there that you're 29:59 going to receive. 30:04 best disciple and also how to go make disciples for Jesus 30:07 Christ when you leave Sod and go back to your home, go back 30:10 to your community and your churches. 30:12 And so, you're going to come here and you're going to 30:14 experience right off the bat a health course from Reese 30:17 Rafferty. 30:21 is basically teaching you how to overcome through the Bible, 30:25 through a scriptural diet based, health based education 30:30 based on Scripture and God's diet plan and God's lifestyle 30:33 plan. 30:35 You're going to learn about the great controversy. 30:37 You're going to do a small course on the great controversy 30:39 with Pastor James Rafferty. 30:41 And then, throughout the week you're going to be taking more 30:44 classes like how to study the Bible. 30:46 That's always important one. 30:47 Many people don't really know how to grow in the Lord or take 30:50 their relationship with Christ in the next level because they 30:53 don't really know how to dig deep and get in and really 30:55 fully understand the Scriptures that they're reading. 30:58 And so, we do a full course taught by Pastor James Rafferty 31:01 on how to study the Bible. 31:02 And then, of course, we'll be getting right into a biblical 31:05 apologetics class which I will be teaching. 31:08 We'll be looking at our pillars of our faith in a very deep 31:11 sense. 31:15 with difficult and challenging objections to those things. 31:20 We're going to do a little intense game we call Defending 31:22 the Faith where we put our brothers and sisters through 31:25 groups and they defend a topic. 31:27 People really like that. 31:29 It's really, really fun and it actually humbles us a little 31:32 bit. 31:34 And then, we'll be diving deep into evangelism, learning all 31:38 of the key concepts to friendship and personal 31:41 evangelism. 31:45 to really do a public evangelistic series. 31:48 We have a Bible or a church history. 31:53 Daniel, want to talk about that? 31:54 Your church history class. 31:55 What can they expect if they come? 31:56 If you come to church history class, come to Sod, and then 32:00 you'll come to the church history class, it is not dry, 32:03 it is not boring, but it is the stories that then we connect 32:08 with that when we see how God has led in the past, it really 32:11 gives an illustration of what God has wanted to do in our 32:14 life right now. 32:15 Our history is rich with stories. 32:19 Not that our life is lived out simply by telling stories, but 32:22 it really connects us to what God wants for us to do. 32:25 We can talk about discipleship, but then we see it lived out, 32:28 and it gives us inspiration about how to apply it. 32:31 We see what happened years ago, a few years ago, or many years 32:35 ago, and then we get a picture of what God wants for us to do 32:38 right now. 32:39 I enjoy studying it, I enjoy teaching it. 32:41 No, it's powerful. 32:42 I've said in many of his lectures that he makes it come 32:45 alive, and it's just exciting to know we have a rich history 32:48 in church. 32:48 So you're going to get that. 32:50 And also, it's a true discipleship program in the 32:53 sense that we have our regular class time, and then we break 32:57 in the evenings for the students to decide to do what 32:59 they want to do. 33:03 together in groups, but in the evenings for about three hours 33:07 from 6 p.m. 33:08 to 9 p.m., each one of the instructors and Ian, all of us 33:13 make ourselves available in the evenings for one-on-one or 33:16 small group discipleship sessions where if the students 33:21 have questions, Bible questions, maybe they want to 33:23 pray about something, or maybe there's just something 33:25 spiritually heavy on their heart that they just want to 33:28 pray about, they want some spiritual counsel from the 33:30 Bible, and we can share some scriptures, some texts. 33:32 It's an opportunity for them to meet with us one-on-one for 33:35 some private one-on-one discipleship sessions. 33:39 And it's a power, I'm telling you, it's powerful. 33:41 That promo tells it all, when you come, your life's going to 33:45 change. 33:50 you go home and you start house fires and church fires and 33:54 community fires in a good way, spiritually speaking, all over 33:58 your community and your church and in your home. 34:00 Ian, tell us about the logistics, the details of the 34:03 plan and how they can go on and sign up and all that. 34:05 Yeah, one thing I want to add though kind of to what you were 34:08 saying was one of the beautiful things that I really love about 34:11 S.A.D. 34:14 propel you into your discipleship journey. 34:16 But one of the most amazing things that I've noticed from S 34:19 .A.D. 34:22 You know, they come here expecting something and I've 34:24 said this in a video in one of our past BTSs, but people come 34:27 here and you're expecting something very specific. 34:30 But God has a plan for you here, for something that He 34:34 wants to show you and that He wants you to learn. 34:37 And I have seen individuals come here that may have had 34:39 some things in their past or a little bit broken, maybe a 34:42 little bit frayed or they're just looking for what do I do 34:45 next because they're so unsure of certain things and maybe 34:47 that's you who's watching right now. 34:49 You just want to reignite your relationship with Jesus and S.A 34:53 .D. 34:55 I've seen lives transform. 34:57 You even saw in the video where we had a student in our first 35:01 class who he came here kind of just searching, wondering, you 35:05 know, what does God have in store for him? 35:07 What's his life going to be like as a Christian? 35:09 And he had such a peace that when he left and went back to 35:13 his family, his wife came to the next class, his daughter 35:16 came to the next class. 35:18 It started, you know, as Ryan just said, a fire within their 35:21 own home and just to see the healing that has taken place 35:24 within that family and I know what God can do in a family 35:28 because he's healed me in my past, in my family and I know 35:31 what he can do for you too. 35:32 So even if you're just wanting to grow closer in the Lord and 35:35 just want to strengthen your relationship with him or maybe 35:38 you just have the question, I don't know, S.A.D. 35:41 is the place for you and you definitely want to attend and 35:45 then after that you're going to be able to share your 35:47 experience and the things that you've gone through in your 35:49 past, in your life, and in this class and be able to share it 35:52 with others in such an effective way that it will just 35:55 be, you know, it will invigorate others to want to 35:58 know Jesus and to share him as well and it's just going to 36:01 start that ripple effect that we're hoping for so that Jesus 36:04 can come ever sooner. 36:06 So with that being said, let me get into some of the details of 36:09 the class. 36:14 .com and Ryan has stressed it, I'm going to stress it again. 36:19 Please read the handbook because many of the questions 36:21 that come in through email are answered in the handbook. 36:25 But for those of you who might just want some of the details 36:28 of it, some of the typical questions that we get is, you 36:31 know, well, where do I stay? 36:32 What do I do for housing? 36:33 Well, we have two housing options for you. 36:35 So that's part of our tuition as well. 36:37 So when you go into the handbook, you're going to see 36:39 two different options. 36:40 Option one, which is, we'll put you in 3ABN housing, we're 36:43 going to house you in our apartments, as well as you go 36:46 through the class, you're going to get all the materials, and 36:49 we provide breakfast and lunch for you as well so you don't 36:51 have to worry about meals. 36:53 They're nice vegetarian, on some days, vegan meals, very 36:57 healthy. 37:00 of our students in our first class. 37:02 But if you need housing from us, that is going to be option 37:05 one, which is a $500 suggested donation. 37:09 Now, that covers everything, like I said, that covers your 37:11 housing, covers your food, covers the materials. 37:14 You're going to get a lot of things on thumb drives that we 37:16 give to you, extra things that are not even taught in the 37:19 class that the instructors give you just so you're more 37:21 equipped and you can go home and study and learn more. 37:24 The other option that you have is option two. 37:26 Now, if you have an RV or a camper, I know a lot of our 37:29 3ABN family that comes to camp meeting brings their RVs or 37:32 campers. 37:32 That is option two. 37:34 So that is a $300 suggested donation, and that gives you 37:37 everything as well. 37:41 lunch, and it gives you all the materials just like it would 37:44 with option one. 37:48 or whether you want to house yourself by bringing an RV or a 37:51 camper. 37:56 the handbook. 37:58 If you still have questions, we are more than happy to answer 38:01 them. 38:04 it for contact us. 38:05 You can send us your questions. 38:07 It will either be Ryan, myself, Stephanie, one of the staff 38:10 will reach out to you and answer your questions and we 38:12 really pray for everybody, all the applicants that come in. 38:16 We pray over them and we know especially from the last couple 38:20 of classes that the individuals that come here, God wanted them 38:23 here for a purpose. 38:24 And we know that God has a purpose for you to be at SOD. 38:28 So I encourage you to apply and to come to this intensive 38:31 because your life will be changed. 38:33 In fact, I have to say when we went to Dodge Center this past 38:36 weekend, we had four previous SOD students that I got to 38:40 meet. 38:43 them said to me in some way, form or fashion, since leaving 38:47 SOD, God has done wonderful things in our lives and in our 38:51 ministries. 38:52 So don't let this opportunity pass by, friends. 38:56 Go right now. 38:57 Don't hesitate because the class fills up fast. 38:59 Right now we are already over halfway filled up. 39:02 We still have some spots available but if you want to 39:04 make sure you get into this summer, July 5 to July 14, 39:08 that's the time frame, July chapter 5, I said earlier, July 39:12 5 to July 14, make sure you go on right now and fill out that 39:19 application and just come because I know your life will 39:23 be transformed. 39:27 came. 39:28 I promise you that. 39:31 happens during the summer break from school. 39:33 So if you're a student, college student, high school student, I 39:37 think as a high school student you might need somebody coming 39:38 along with you but this is that opportunity. 39:41 That's right. 39:42 Absolutely. 39:43 Don't miss it. 39:43 Don't miss it. 39:45 As a teacher you would know when summer break is. 39:48 That's a good point. 39:50 deadline? 39:51 The deadline for applications is June 21st. 39:55 June 21st. 39:56 I didn't think about it for a second. 39:57 June 21st is the deadline for the application so make sure 40:00 you get them in before then because we really want to have 40:02 you here. 40:05 has for you and it's going to be such a blessing. 40:07 That's a good point that Daniel brought up as far as the age. 40:09 Tell me the age range because we've had quite a wide range. 40:13 We've had ages anywhere from 16 to 89. 40:16 Okay. 40:20 We don't care if you're 150 or well I mean obviously we want 40:26 them to at least be of an age where they can comprehend the 40:29 material but we've had 16 year olds come here and so yeah. 40:34 A 16 year old would need a chaperone so all those would be 40:37 details. 40:42 Yeah and it's not all just sitting. 40:44 I don't want to point out the prayer time in the morning. 40:47 There is information to learn but that prayer time in the 40:50 morning is really really powerful and I know at least in 40:53 this last session people were very very moved and benefited. 40:56 We didn't have that in the first class and that was 40:59 something that we felt and I know you brought that up and 41:02 you said was really missing in that class was that prayer time 41:05 and when that came in in the second class every single 41:09 person that I had talked to or even just came up to us you 41:12 know on their own said the prayer time before class was 41:15 really helped me in my journey and through this class and has 41:19 really give me an understanding of prayer that they didn't have 41:22 before or that I didn't have before. 41:24 A lot of them had said that so I know it was powerful. 41:26 It's an early morning prayer time but I can tell you nobody 41:29 came there to catch up on their sleep. 41:31 I had one individual or two of them that said we came here to 41:35 take in everything that Sod has to offer so whatever you guys 41:38 are doing were there and they showed up every single day and 41:42 it was just you could see them transform and one of them 41:44 afterwards went back and started preaching in their 41:47 hometown. 41:51 doing it or he just finished doing his own evangelistic 41:55 series. 41:56 So he did his own public evangelism and it's just to see 41:59 that effect again. 42:00 That ripple right? 42:01 It's bigger and bigger. 42:05 mean we're nobody. 42:06 We're just here to try to share what God has shown us and to 42:10 share it with others and just to see then what God does with 42:13 them and you know the next person, next person. 42:15 It's just amazing to be a part of it. 42:17 It is. 42:18 I was just going to say if Pastor Rafferty was here he 42:20 would say this and I want to thank Pastor Rafferty. 42:23 He has been instrumental in helping us to organize this and 42:27 the expertise that he brings and the experience he brings in 42:31 this it's a blessing. 42:34 But I just also want to say the schedule is intense. 42:37 It's the reason why it's called an intensive because it's from 42:39 8 o'clock in the morning to about 5 o'clock in the 42:42 afternoon each day from Sunday all the way through to Friday 42:45 and we let out a little early on Friday for Sabbath obviously 42:48 for preparation but I will say this. 42:50 It's not literally from 8 to 5 non-stop. 42:54 We have breaks in between each class. 42:56 10 to 15 minute breaks for you to get up and walk, stretch 42:59 your legs. 43:00 In fact if Pastor Rafferty was here he would say you get to, 43:04 we have doctors visits scheduled for you also during 43:08 these 10 and 15 minute seconds and he would say you get to go 43:11 out and choose to visit Dr. Fresh Air, Dr. Sunshine, Dr. 43:18 Exercise and so it's just really cool. 43:22 But yes breaks in between but it is an intense program but I 43:26 promise you you're not going to leave thinking man that was 43:29 just so tough and so hard. 43:30 In fact we give a survey out to all of our students before they 43:35 leave at the very end and almost all of them, not all of 43:38 them, but almost all of them have said in some way, form or 43:40 fashion that it's too short. 43:42 It's too short. 43:42 I wish it was longer. 43:43 I wish I could have extended the time and learned more. 43:46 But we're going to give you all that we can during that 43:48 intensive time that you're with us. 43:49 Amen. 43:50 Yeah. 43:50 Praise the Lord. 43:53 Camp Meeting because it's right around the corner but before we 43:56 go to that we want to talk to you Daniel about 3ABN's Bible 44:00 Study Guides. 44:01 Many of you if you've been watching 3ABN for a little 44:03 while we've had, let me pull these other books off to the 44:06 side, 3ABN's Bible Study Guides Lessons 1-14 and they have been 44:12 extremely well received. 44:13 Many of you are like oh yeah we've got some and we're 44:15 ordering more. 44:16 These have been just a powerful tool. 44:20 Evangelism. 44:23 board and you are currently using them also in our prison 44:26 ministry but there's some exciting news because set 44:30 number 2 is going to be going to press soon. 44:33 I just got to say they're beautiful. 44:35 The Word of God speaks but when you pair pictures it draws you 44:40 in and gives illustration. 44:42 But yes, we are almost done writing the second set. 44:46 There's 14 lessons in set number 1 covering really 44:50 foundational doctrines of the Bible and set number 2 has 13 44:54 lessons and I can tell you from insider information there is 44:59 about one and a half lessons left to be written. 45:03 So they're still, they're almost to the very end and it 45:08 has been such a privilege and I say that just from the heart, 45:12 such a privilege to write these and I wish you, all of you to 45:17 have the same opportunity to write because you write a set 45:23 of Bible studies and it's not the only way to express God's 45:27 truth and when somebody goes in and writes down what does God's 45:31 Word mean? 45:31 What does it say? 45:32 It really invigorates you. 45:34 It's kind of like doing some work on your electrical outlets 45:38 without turning the power off. 45:40 You know, you get some zings of power suddenly, unexpectedly. 45:44 Yes! 45:44 I never thought about that. 45:46 Working on it to and... 45:48 That's great because I have done that on the electrical 45:50 outlets, so yes. 45:51 That's right. 45:52 And so when you're working with the Word of God, it zings you 45:55 with power unexpectedly and you realize this is a true double 46:01 -edged sword. 46:02 I love it. 46:02 You know, it is powerful. 46:04 It really reaches inside to your very heart. 46:08 So I want to... 46:10 You know, thank you for adding that. 46:13 You know, or if you want to be like Greg, he does do with 46:15 electric on, so yes, it can zing you a timer. 46:19 I appreciate that. 46:20 No, actually, I do turn it off most of the time. 46:22 So yes, so tell us some of the topics, Brother Daniel, that 46:25 there are... 46:26 So, we've got 13 topics and the first one really picks up where 46:31 lesson number 1 to 14 ended, which is we got some 46:35 foundational truths which began with the great controversy on 46:39 through the Bible and the law of God and the Holy Spirit 46:44 moving on through to the second coming and then we pick up in 46:47 lesson number 15, which is a lesson on really prayer. 46:51 How do you have a relationship with God? 46:54 Here, you've got all this informational knowledge but how 46:57 is it transformational? 46:58 It's by connecting with God and so lesson number 15 is on 47:03 prayer and a relationship with God. 47:05 And then we move through, I'll just take you one at a time 47:07 through them, lesson 16 is on the gifts of the Holy Spirit. 47:12 How does God fill His people and use His people when they're 47:15 connected with Him? 47:16 And then lesson 17 moves into the gift of prophecy because 47:20 one of those really important and they're all important in 47:23 the church, one of those really important gifts is how God 47:26 communicates and so the gift of prophecy is an important 47:30 lesson. 47:31 And then that would be 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, and 23. 47:36 There's a six lesson set that move through topics of Bible 47:40 prophecy. 47:41 Three of them dealing with Daniel, with the prophecies of 47:44 Daniel which is really powerful and moving through Daniel 47:49 chapter 2 and Daniel chapter 7 and then 8 and 9 and all of 47:54 those things and I had written on the top of each paper as I 47:57 was working on them, show them Jesus. 48:00 And so as we go through Daniel, how do we see Jesus which is 48:03 not hard to see when you have that experience of 48:07 communicating with God in prayer. 48:09 And then lessons 19, let's see, 19, 19, 20, 21, 22, and 23. 48:14 There we go. 48:18 Particularly, now the whole book of Revelation is the 48:21 prophecies of God rolling out through the time when Jesus 48:25 went back to heaven. 48:26 But particularly dealing with those things that are coming to 48:30 happen soon in these latter days. 48:32 So we have the prophecies of Revelation 12 and 13 48:36 especially. 48:37 The two beast powers in Revelation 13 and the mark of 48:40 the beast. 48:42 And so I think people will learn quite a bit or add to the 48:46 things that they've already learned because we find these 48:48 things taught in other places but here they are in these 48:51 three of the inset. 48:52 So that leaves us four lessons at the end and you want to know 48:54 what's in them. 48:55 Oh yes we do. 48:56 Lesson number 24 is on the Millennium. 49:00 What happens immediately after during that thousand years 49:03 after Jesus returns to this earth. 49:06 And he takes the righteous with him, the saved, the redeemed, 49:10 not righteous in their own power, takes them to heaven 49:12 during that thousand years and what happens on earth and what 49:15 happens at the end of that time period. 49:17 And then lesson number 25 is on heaven and the new earth. 49:22 It's a beautiful lesson and a beautiful promise all from 49:25 scripture and it takes us deeper. 49:28 Beyond simply I'm going to pet a zebra and I'm going to ride 49:31 down the neck of a giraffe. 49:33 Really what does God really have in store for us? 49:37 And I don't think I adequately described it because it's 49:42 higher than words can describe. 49:44 And hopefully it's my prayer that this lesson gives a 49:48 glimpse into what God could not even express in human language. 49:52 And then the last two lessons really deal with the response 49:56 to the whole teaching of Bible truth. 49:58 Two aspects of the response. 50:00 A stepping out in faith decision which is baptism. 50:04 And then the final lesson 27 is the continual stepping out in 50:10 faith. 50:14 It's the aspect of stewardship which is not about finances 50:18 alone. 50:22 of everything you've done for me. 50:24 You gave it all for me. 50:26 I choose to. 50:27 I willingly give everything to you for your direction and 50:31 instruction. 50:32 And so we will end that set of lessons pointing back to what 50:35 Jesus has done all the way along the way. 50:38 It started out. 50:39 If you've gone through this first set of studies it starts 50:44 with the question what is God like? 50:46 And the answer is God is love. 50:48 And that's where the lessons end because that was the 50:51 starting place. 50:53 It's the end point and it's the checkpoint all along the way. 50:56 God is love. 51:01 These are incredible Bible studies. 51:05 The Lord has used you Daniel in the creation of them. 51:08 There's no doubt in my mind about that. 51:11 And we've been hearing testimonies of people who use 51:13 the first set and how it's blessed and ministered to them 51:17 or in their community. 51:19 You can download the first set for free at our website. 51:23 That's a great way to be able to access them or you can order 51:26 these from our call center. 51:28 You can call us at 618-627 -4651. 51:33 That's 618-627-4651 and order them and they're available 10 51:39 sets for a suggested donation of $25 and that includes the 51:43 shipping. 51:46 All 14 lessons. 51:47 There's the QR codes on the back where you have videos and 51:50 more information about that particular topic. 51:53 We're doing that on the second set as well. 51:56 The first set is called Looking Higher. 52:00 The second set is called Searching Deeper because we're 52:03 really getting into those deep prophetic teachings. 52:07 Very excited. 52:08 It will be coming out Lord willing for fall camp meeting. 52:13 Very excited and thank you. 52:14 You want to say something on that? 52:15 I just want to say thank you Daniel. 52:18 Your name is not on it as like the author but you are the 52:21 mastermind that the Lord you know you've used the gift that 52:23 God has given you to write these lessons in a course of 52:25 being reviewed by multiple people here at 3 a.m. 52:28 But again thank you. 52:31 be able to explain things and it's just a great gift and the 52:35 response has been tremendous so thank you for letting God use 52:38 you as a vessel to write these lessons. 52:40 Super excited about them and like Jill mentioned the call 52:43 center is open tonight. 52:45 We're talking about the LGBTQ booklet and being able to 52:48 support this incredible project. 52:49 49 cents is all it takes to send a booklet, a flyer and a 52:54 beautiful envelope to a local church in the United States. 52:58 Right now we're focusing on the Baptist denomination and 53:01 there's about 70,000 churches here in the United States which 53:03 is just amazing to me. 53:05 So if you'd like to support that project this evening even 53:07 a dollar will send books out to two churches. 53:09 But while you're at it might as well do the 10 for 25 and get 53:13 these lessons shipped to you because we also want to 53:16 encourage you to start Bible studies and maybe your church 53:18 and your local home and your community. 53:20 So what a great opportunity like Jill said. 53:22 $2.50 a set postage paid to you. 53:25 A great deal. 53:26 3Amen is all about evangelism. 53:27 You are too. 53:31 take advantage of them in a good way and just share the 53:33 good news of Jesus Christ. 53:34 Ian, you were going to say something probably about these 53:36 Bible study guys. 53:36 I did. 53:40 had a moment that specifically relates to these Bible studies 53:45 where I came home after doing a Thursday night live from here 53:50 and I walk into my bedroom and I saw my son and my wife in 53:54 there going through these Bible studies but it was my son 53:57 giving the Bible study. 53:59 So he was actually going through one of these lessons. 54:02 He was teaching it to my wife, to his mom as if he was the one 54:07 who was going to conduct a Bible study with somebody else 54:09 and to hear the things that he was saying because obviously he 54:14 went through it and he read it and he was pulling things out 54:18 and he didn't know I was there and I just had the biggest 54:21 smile on my face as I came home. 54:23 So these Bible studies anybody can teach them. 54:26 It's not just for those who have been a Seventh-day of 54:29 Venice or have been a Christian all their lives. 54:31 My son is a young teenager and here he was taking these Bible 54:35 studies, applying it to his own life, sharing what he knows 54:38 about Jesus and what he knows about the Bible and doing as 54:41 well and it brought so much joy to my heart to see him using 54:45 these and growing his relationship with the Lord. 54:47 Amen. 54:48 That's great. 54:48 I like that. 54:50 Should we talk about camp meeting? 54:51 We got three minutes in the remainder of this first hour. 54:55 Three ABN camp meeting is coming in just a couple weeks. 54:59 June 5 through 8 is the dates, preparation for the final 55:04 prices, the speakers coming in, Pastor Doug Batchelor, 55:07 Sebastian Braxton, Christopher Hudson, Ryan Johnson, Ron 55:11 Kelly, Lonnie Melashenko, Dr. David Shin, and of course our 55:14 three ABN people, I just call it people, but our three ABN 55:18 family as well. 55:19 That's a better word. 55:20 We'll be sharing. 55:21 So we're looking forward to this time of fellowship 55:25 together. 55:26 I believe there are maybe just a couple RV spaces left behind 55:31 the couple left. 55:33 We're completely full over at the worship center, but if you 55:37 would like to bring an RV, you can call us right now and say 55:40 you want to come into camp meeting, bring an RV. 55:42 Call us at 618-627-4651. 55:47 That's 618-627-4651 and we would love the RV spots are 55:52 complimentary. 55:53 Many people come in camp. 55:55 We've heard from scores of people who are bringing tents 55:58 or people stay in a hotel, so camp meeting is an incredible 56:01 time. 56:02 Daniel, there's a time of prayer. 56:03 Maybe talk to us about the time of prayer at the beginning as 56:05 Each day we meet in the morning and it is a time of corporate 56:10 prayer where Donald Owen and a couple of other pastoral staff 56:14 we meet together and we just lead the group in a time of 56:17 prayer and it has grown because it started a few years ago and 56:20 now it's grown and I think last time we spilled over out of the 56:23 room we were in and had to go to a bigger room, but I would 56:27 say, let me be honest, I would say There's not enough people 56:30 there. 56:33 It's an early hour before breakfast, but it's just a 56:36 blessing. 56:37 It is a blessed time together. 56:38 What a great way to start the day. 56:40 A little bit of music, a lot of prayer. 56:43 Ryan, what's your thoughts about camp meeting in a few 56:45 seconds? 56:47 I'm excited about the topic I'm going to get to present, which 56:49 is on the three unclean spirits. 56:52 And so where our focus is on the crisis during this final 56:56 time and how to prepare for it and how to be prepared for the 56:58 soon returning of Christ and living in these last days. 57:01 So my friends, come. 57:03 It's one thing to see it on TV. 57:05 It's a whole other thing to be in person. 57:07 Just come. 57:07 That's all I can say. 57:08 What about you, Ian? 57:09 You produce also during camp meeting. 57:11 What are your thoughts on camp meeting? 57:12 Oh, I love camp meeting. 57:13 It's just so much fun. 57:15 It's very busy, very jam packed. 57:16 There's a whole lot going on between music and sermons and 57:19 spiritual food. 57:20 But it's amazing to see the people come here and be a part 57:24 of the Rebion physically instead of just on the other 57:26 side of the TV. 57:27 Yeah. 57:29 Absolutely. 57:31 family. 57:35 but we just invite you to come, come on down for our 3ABN 57:40 camp meeting and join us for the second hour. |
