00:00:02.03\00:00:02.53
Hello and welcome back
to 3ABN Behind the Scenes.
00:00:11.07\00:00:14.11
Again, we're so glad
that you've joined us.
00:00:14.18\00:00:16.08
The first hour went by in a
hurry and I know the second hour
00:00:16.21\00:00:20.02
will too.
00:00:20.02\00:00:24.19
3ABN has for evangelism,
but that includes you too.
00:00:24.19\00:00:28.62
We were talking about books that
you can, of course, get through
00:00:28.96\00:00:31.83
3ABN, pass out
in your community.
00:00:31.83\00:00:33.80
We're talking about the
brand new booklet, the one on
00:00:33.96\00:00:37.57
abortion, and that is
available, Jill, this evening.
00:00:37.57\00:00:39.10
You'll give us some of those
details and how they can order
00:00:39.17\00:00:41.74
that booklet this evening
by the case to hand out in your
00:00:41.74\00:00:44.41
communities. We're also talking
about evangelism using YouTube.
00:00:44.57\00:00:47.38
Ricky was sharing that with us,
which is absolutely incredible.
00:00:47.68\00:00:50.11
You can do
evangelism with your thumb.
00:00:50.61\00:00:52.15
That's because you're using your
thumb to push the little buttons
00:00:52.18\00:00:54.48
on your phone and you
can be sitting in your chair.
00:00:54.48\00:00:56.42
And it's amazing how YouTube
will kind of, in a sense, do the
00:00:56.89\00:00:59.92
evangelism for you.
00:00:59.92\00:01:00.99
And that's by subscribing.
00:01:00.99\00:01:02.19
And you know, when you hear the
word subscribe, it sounds like
00:01:02.82\00:01:04.73
money, but there is no fee
to subscribing to 3ABN's YouTube
00:01:04.73\00:01:10.43
channel.
00:01:10.43\00:01:13.17
You can just kind of go back and
look at the first hour if you
00:01:13.20\00:01:15.74
want, but there's a little
button where you can hit all and
00:01:15.77\00:01:17.87
then you get notifications.
00:01:17.87\00:01:21.64
are doing searches, let's say
on prophecy or other topics that
00:01:21.64\00:01:25.55
3ABN presents.
00:01:25.55\00:01:28.32
And this second hour, Jill,
is going to be about evangelism,
00:01:28.32\00:01:31.22
too. Amen.
00:01:31.32\00:01:34.46
We met her at our 3ABN
School of Discipleship.
00:01:34.76\00:01:37.69
She came in from Australia and
she'd been reading in the book
00:01:37.73\00:01:40.90
of Hebrews about the remains
there for a rest for the people
00:01:40.90\00:01:44.10
of God. And she thought,
what is this rest about?
00:01:44.13\00:01:45.63
And she kept reading and
it talked about Sabbath rest.
00:01:45.90\00:01:48.20
So she said she went to YouTube,
to the internet, and she typed
00:01:48.27\00:01:52.67
in, Sabbath, what is Sabbath?
00:01:52.67\00:01:55.04
And guess what popped up?
00:01:55.54\00:01:57.28
3ABN Sabbath School panel.
00:01:57.61\00:02:03.35
Seventh -day Adventist.
00:02:03.35\00:02:04.39
So YouTube
evangelism, it really works.
00:02:04.82\00:02:07.39
It does.
00:02:07.39\00:02:11.96
And they just go and they type
things, they search for things
00:02:12.16\00:02:15.63
and 3ABN programming can
be pushed as it were, their
00:02:15.63\00:02:19.77
direction, so
that they can see it.
00:02:19.77\00:02:23.67
people would stumble across.
00:02:24.31\00:02:26.11
They flip a
channel and they find 3ABN.
00:02:26.31\00:02:27.88
Now you just search in the
internet and you can find 3ABN.
00:02:28.01\00:02:30.51
Yeah, amazing, absolutely.
00:02:30.51\00:02:32.15
We have some more
family here with us tonight.
00:02:32.38\00:02:35.92
We traded out family from
the first to the second hour.
00:02:36.12\00:02:38.45
We'll start over at this end.
00:02:38.75\00:02:39.95
Our dad, the other half of
Shelly Quinn, we had Shelly
00:02:40.22\00:02:43.79
sitting right next to
us here on the first hour.
00:02:43.79\00:02:45.29
But JD Quinn, who's of course
our pastoral department manager,
00:02:46.03\00:02:50.30
and we're so glad to
have you here tonight.
00:02:50.30\00:02:51.90
Well, thank you, it
is a blessing to be here.
00:02:51.90\00:02:54.34
We love talking about 3ABN.
00:02:54.37\00:02:56.24
You know, if you're from Texas,
everything's always big, okay?
00:02:57.04\00:03:02.84
And southern Illinois, there's
nothing bigger than 3ABN.
00:03:03.85\00:03:07.25
A little bitty town with a big,
big ministry and we're here for
00:03:08.25\00:03:12.09
you. This is evangelism.
00:03:12.19\00:03:13.36
It is.
00:03:13.49\00:03:14.06
And the reach of 3ABN
is incredible as well.
00:03:14.56\00:03:17.43
We were talking about it on the
first hour about 3ABN Sabbath
00:03:17.53\00:03:19.73
School Connect and how it was
amazing this past Friday, how
00:03:19.73\00:03:22.83
people were reaching out.
00:03:22.83\00:03:24.10
Daniel, you were on that
from all parts of the world.
00:03:24.27\00:03:26.47
So the reach of 3ABN is huge.
00:03:26.53\00:03:27.80
It is, and JD's going to be
sharing some pastoral statistics
00:03:28.24\00:03:32.41
and information on what's
happening with the 3ABN pastoral
00:03:32.41\00:03:35.38
department. Sitting
next to JD is Daniel Perrin.
00:03:35.88\00:03:38.31
We always call you on Sabbath
School panel Professor Perrin.
00:03:38.38\00:03:41.15
But that's just because he's
a teacher for so many years.
00:03:41.18\00:03:43.69
But you're the assistant
pastoral department manager.
00:03:43.82\00:03:46.69
And Daniel, we're so
glad to have you here tonight.
00:03:46.79\00:03:48.66
Yes, it's good to be here.
00:03:48.79\00:03:49.92
I don't think
anybody stumbles across 3ABN.
00:03:49.92\00:03:52.53
That's a good point.
00:03:52.66\00:03:53.26
They are led there.
00:03:53.33\00:03:54.30
And that's
partly why I'm here too.
00:03:54.66\00:03:56.60
You know, led here, but
I did not anticipate it.
00:03:56.67\00:03:59.90
God brings people to work.
00:03:59.90\00:03:59.93
And I'm glad to work here.
00:04:01.80\00:04:02.64
I'm glad to be here.
00:04:02.67\00:04:03.54
It's always good to
be sitting next to JD.
00:04:03.77\00:04:05.11
That's right.
00:04:05.91\00:04:06.81
And I agree with you as
far as the stumble across.
00:04:07.01\00:04:09.34
We kind of say in quotes,
stumble across this really
00:04:09.81\00:04:12.15
divine appointment.
00:04:12.15\00:04:12.65
And it's neat to think about.
00:04:13.15\00:04:14.18
We hear these stories
over and over again, Daniel.
00:04:14.35\00:04:15.75
But the timing in somebody's
life where if they'd found 3ABN
00:04:15.75\00:04:15.78
a year earlier, it wouldn't have
actually fit exactly what they
00:04:20.49\00:04:22.69
were searching for.
00:04:22.69\00:04:23.59
So the timing, God's
timing is always perfect.
00:04:23.73\00:04:25.49
So praise God for that.
00:04:25.56\00:04:26.56
And God bringing you here and
everybody here is God's perfect
00:04:26.80\00:04:29.66
timing as well.
00:04:29.66\00:04:30.30
So we're thankful
you're part of the family.
00:04:30.60\00:04:31.93
Talking about the timing of
that, thank you for being a part
00:04:31.97\00:04:34.84
of God's family
here, of course, 3ABN.
00:04:34.84\00:04:36.17
Amen.
00:04:36.20\00:04:39.67
children, some of
which work here at 3ABN.
00:04:39.67\00:04:42.11
We're so grateful for that.
00:04:42.54\00:04:43.98
Coming around the
table, Dee Hildebrand.
00:04:44.01\00:04:46.41
Dee is a fixture at 3ABN.
00:04:46.41\00:04:49.12
We could say this because she's
been here for many years, served
00:04:49.32\00:04:53.12
as 3ABN Production Coordinator
for many years and then
00:04:53.12\00:04:56.02
semi-retired and worked
harder than even before the
00:04:56.02\00:04:58.56
semi-retirement. She is 3ABN
Special Projects Coordinator and
00:04:58.99\00:05:03.13
we're glad you're here tonight.
00:05:03.13\00:05:03.67
I only do the fun things.
00:05:03.77\00:05:04.93
It's great.
00:05:04.93\00:05:05.50
I love it.
00:05:05.50\00:05:09.47
had before all the time.
00:05:09.47\00:05:10.64
And God still works miracles.
00:05:11.21\00:05:12.54
I love, you're
right, divine appointments.
00:05:12.81\00:05:14.98
It's wonderful.
00:05:15.21\00:05:18.31
I was calling on repairs
and whatever and I had this
00:05:18.68\00:05:21.95
technician on the phone.
00:05:21.95\00:05:26.39
and we were talking about making
an appointment and I said, we
00:05:26.39\00:05:30.03
can't do it on Saturday
because we're Sabbath keepers.
00:05:30.03\00:05:33.63
He goes, are you Adventist?
00:05:33.70\00:05:35.90
I'm like, yes, Thompsonville
Seventh-day Adventist Church.
00:05:36.00\00:05:39.07
He goes, I'm new Adventist,
baptized three months ago.
00:05:39.13\00:05:42.27
He had an accent.
00:05:42.37\00:05:46.51
3ABN and tell him how to
get his app on his cell phone.
00:05:46.51\00:05:51.25
And it helped me.
00:05:51.45\00:05:52.68
3ABN made a difference in David
and I's lives when we became new
00:05:53.11\00:05:56.65
Adventists because we could
watch 3ABN and we learned in
00:05:56.65\00:06:01.52
amazingly speedy way.
00:06:01.52\00:06:02.49
I mean, far faster
than just going to church.
00:06:02.49\00:06:04.59
So it was like such a
thrill that God answered this
00:06:04.86\00:06:09.03
technician's prayer, but
he also used me to do it.
00:06:09.03\00:06:11.43
And so it was very thrilling
and camp meetings coming.
00:06:11.43\00:06:14.47
Yes.
00:06:14.94\00:06:18.11
minutes.
00:06:18.11\00:06:19.14
Absolutely.
00:06:19.61\00:06:23.01
She and her
husband, Gary, moved here.
00:06:23.21\00:06:25.35
Is it two or three years now?
00:06:25.48\00:06:26.55
Two years.
00:06:26.55\00:06:26.98
Two years.
00:06:27.05\00:06:30.92
clerk.
00:06:30.92\00:06:31.39
Well, thank you for having me.
00:06:31.62\00:06:32.42
I'm happy to be here.
00:06:32.52\00:06:33.52
You know, and it's great too
because Henry, your son, he just
00:06:33.72\00:06:37.99
started working some part-time
here at 3ABN just here recently.
00:06:37.99\00:06:41.20
So great to have Henry on board.
00:06:41.30\00:06:42.23
Six days.
00:06:42.90\00:06:43.47
Yeah, that's great.
00:06:43.80\00:06:44.60
Today is the sixth day.
00:06:44.80\00:06:45.67
Yeah, great young man.
00:06:46.00\00:06:47.24
You're going to be
talking about camp meeting too.
00:06:47.57\00:06:49.17
Yeah, we'll be
talking about camp meeting.
00:06:49.37\00:06:50.47
Amen.
00:06:50.74\00:06:51.21
Enjoy everyone.
00:06:52.11\00:06:52.74
Amen.
00:06:52.97\00:06:53.34
Yes, that's great.
00:06:53.68\00:06:54.28
And we have also another person
that you haven't seen yet, but
00:06:54.91\00:06:57.85
you've course no
stranger to you on 3ABN.
00:06:57.85\00:06:59.81
That's Pastor John Denzi.
00:06:59.91\00:07:01.88
And he's joining us via
Skype all the way from Mexico.
00:07:02.22\00:07:05.35
And I believe, are you
there, Pastor John Denzi?
00:07:05.75\00:07:08.66
I think there he is.
00:07:10.09\00:07:11.13
Yes, I am here.
00:07:11.13\00:07:12.16
3ABN actually Tuxla, Gutierrez,
Chiapas, Mexico, way south in
00:07:12.96\00:07:18.37
Mexico.
00:07:18.37\00:07:19.17
And you and your lovely wife
Mrs. Denzi are there and Randy
00:07:19.80\00:07:24.37
Bermejo is there.
00:07:24.37\00:07:25.11
Tell us what's
going on in Mexico.
00:07:25.21\00:07:27.44
We know it's very exciting,
but tell our folks at home.
00:07:27.68\00:07:29.71
Oh, this is exciting.
00:07:30.98\00:07:32.25
This is about evangelism.
00:07:32.48\00:07:33.72
And that's why 3ABN is here
because we are participating in
00:07:33.75\00:07:39.05
an evangelistic campaign that
is nationwide organized by the
00:07:39.05\00:07:45.33
unions of Mexico.
00:07:45.33\00:07:46.16
We have been
invited to participate.
00:07:46.26\00:07:48.00
And the evangelistic campaign
is called Jesus is Sufficient.
00:07:48.70\00:07:53.13
Jesus is Sufficient.
00:07:53.64\00:07:54.47
And the speaker is
Pastor Luis Orozco.
00:07:54.97\00:07:57.97
And behind me you see the title
of the evangelistic campaign.
00:07:58.47\00:08:01.64
I'm actually on the set because
they're not on right now.
00:08:02.21\00:08:06.61
So that's why I'm here.
00:08:06.65\00:08:07.88
So this is the fourth nationwide
evangelistic campaign that they
00:08:07.88\00:08:13.66
have organized.
00:08:13.66\00:08:18.83
And they are
doing a magnificent job.
00:08:19.16\00:08:21.83
They have united to
bring a nationwide evangelistic
00:08:21.86\00:08:26.00
campaign. All the
unions participate.
00:08:26.17\00:08:27.50
There are actually 43
local conferences in Mexico.
00:08:28.00\00:08:32.54
And these 43
conferences are participating.
00:08:33.07\00:08:35.71
This is like, you remember
the NET series with Pastor Mark
00:08:35.71\00:08:39.98
Finley, Doug Batchelor, and
others that participate in the
00:08:40.38\00:08:43.69
NET series. What is different
about this is that today,
00:08:44.02\00:08:48.92
conferences have webpages.
00:08:48.92\00:08:49.56
Conferences also
have YouTube pages.
00:08:49.79\00:08:51.53
Not only that, people, members
of the church have YouTube
00:08:51.96\00:08:56.53
pages. So this is giving this
a nationwide reach in a way that
00:08:56.60\00:09:03.17
has really making history.
00:09:03.17\00:09:04.21
So there are 43 local
conferences, 23 radio stations
00:09:04.61\00:09:10.21
have united to broadcast
this evangelistic campaign.
00:09:10.21\00:09:11.95
And of course, Homes of Hope.
00:09:12.71\00:09:15.05
There are churches open all
across the nation broadcasting
00:09:15.78\00:09:20.62
the evangelistic campaign.
00:09:20.62\00:09:21.62
But there are people in their
homes inviting their neighbors,
00:09:22.02\00:09:24.76
inviting their friends,
inviting their families.
00:09:24.76\00:09:26.90
So this is
really an amazing thing.
00:09:26.93\00:09:28.76
And we have pictures
that illustrate some of that.
00:09:28.76\00:09:31.03
And you'll be able to see those.
00:09:31.23\00:09:32.77
So interestingly enough, they
are also providing a service for
00:09:32.77\00:09:38.24
the hearing impaired.
00:09:38.24\00:09:39.01
They are also
receiving a signal.
00:09:39.07\00:09:40.61
And each night,
it is increasing.
00:09:40.81\00:09:42.91
Last night, there
were 370 people tuning in.
00:09:43.71\00:09:48.52
As a matter of fact, some people
have put, like, a projector
00:09:48.78\00:09:52.12
outside.
00:09:52.12\00:09:55.99
people sit there, and
they listen to the evangelistic
00:09:55.99\00:09:58.66
campaign. So
it's an amazing thing.
00:09:59.03\00:10:00.63
They have the
conference here, the union.
00:10:00.63\00:10:03.50
I'm actually in the
Chiapas, Mexico Union.
00:10:03.53\00:10:06.80
This is where the
signal is originating from.
00:10:06.87\00:10:09.64
Each year, a union has a turn.
00:10:09.94\00:10:12.64
A union selects the speaker.
00:10:12.77\00:10:14.18
And this here is
Pastor Luis Orozco.
00:10:14.38\00:10:16.21
The interesting thing is that
this union has been transformed
00:10:16.58\00:10:19.85
into an evangelism center.
00:10:19.85\00:10:20.75
The leaders of the union here
have given up their offices, and
00:10:21.58\00:10:25.89
it has become like a prayer
room, or it has become like an
00:10:25.89\00:10:30.93
editing bay. And so it's an
amazing thing that is happening
00:10:31.56\00:10:34.83
here. And we have to ask the
question, well, what does 3ABN
00:10:34.96\00:10:39.63
bring to the table?
00:10:39.63\00:10:39.87
3ABN is on cable here.
00:10:41.54\00:10:43.81
It's actually the only
7-day evidence channel on cable.
00:10:43.94\00:10:46.68
But not only are we on cable
locally, we are on dozens of
00:10:46.98\00:10:51.21
cable stations across Mexico.
00:10:51.21\00:10:52.78
And actually, we're on over
1,300 cable stations across the
00:10:53.18\00:10:58.02
world. And of course, 3ABN
also brings about 30, somewhere
00:10:58.65\00:11:03.02
between 30 and 35, local
television channels that are
00:11:03.02\00:11:06.86
broadcasting. So 3ABN
brings a lot to the evangelistic
00:11:07.00\00:11:10.00
campaign. Also, it is Brother
Randy Bermejo that is working
00:11:10.60\00:11:16.37
with 3ABN right now.
00:11:16.37\00:11:20.71
So he's actually
managing the streaming service.
00:11:20.94\00:11:23.91
That streaming goes
directly to our master control.
00:11:23.91\00:11:26.98
From our master control at 3ABN,
the signal also goes to other
00:11:27.08\00:11:31.25
organizations, including Hope
Channel Intramurica is picking
00:11:31.25\00:11:35.39
up our streaming.
00:11:35.39\00:11:40.46
they may be on and
radio stations or TV stations.
00:11:40.46\00:11:42.86
So this is a huge undertaking.
00:11:43.16\00:11:45.37
Now, please listen to this
because your prayers are needed.
00:11:45.80\00:11:48.50
About 5,000 people are baptized
every year in these efforts.
00:11:49.04\00:11:52.37
This year, they
are hoping for more.
00:11:52.37\00:11:54.28
And it's a matter of prayer.
00:11:54.78\00:11:57.48
And we believe that God is going
to bless us each night and an
00:11:58.51\00:12:02.02
appeal is made and
people come forward for baptism.
00:12:02.02\00:12:04.39
It's an amazing thing
that God is doing here.
00:12:04.69\00:12:07.09
And 3ABN, of course,
participates whenever we can in
00:12:07.22\00:12:11.99
evangelistic campaigns.
00:12:11.99\00:12:16.73
Amen.
00:12:18.33\00:12:18.83
Now, that's an exciting report.
00:12:19.03\00:12:20.14
And we will definitely
join with you in prayer.
00:12:20.14\00:12:22.57
And, of course,
we're inviting you.
00:12:22.67\00:12:23.77
You heard Pastor John Denzi
inviting you at home to join in
00:12:23.87\00:12:26.98
prayer for those that will
be getting baptized very soon.
00:12:26.98\00:12:30.31
It's exciting
what the Lord is doing.
00:12:30.58\00:12:31.91
It's amazing of the
reach again of 3ABN Latino.
00:12:32.05\00:12:34.55
Pastor John, you were talking
about all those cable stations
00:12:34.92\00:12:37.45
there across Mexico and, of
course, around the world that
00:12:37.45\00:12:41.29
carry 3ABN Latino.
00:12:41.29\00:12:45.66
sites?
00:12:45.66\00:12:48.76
in.
00:12:48.76\00:12:53.80
or in their homes or communities
where they're inviting other
00:12:53.80\00:12:57.44
people in to sit down and watch?
00:12:57.44\00:12:58.84
Did we
understand that correctly?
00:12:59.11\00:13:00.24
Well, let me go back to that.
00:13:01.78\00:13:03.14
It's actually 370
hearing-impaired sites.
00:13:03.31\00:13:08.08
That's just
hearing-impaired sites.
00:13:08.75\00:13:10.69
There are several
thousand churches.
00:13:12.02\00:13:13.79
I don't have that detailed.
00:13:13.96\00:13:15.19
Several thousand churches in
the country of Mexico that have
00:13:15.29\00:13:21.90
their churches open
and they have a projector.
00:13:21.90\00:13:24.13
And so they are
also participating.
00:13:25.10\00:13:27.44
Interesting also is that there
are people that apparently don't
00:13:27.67\00:13:32.91
even have a TV station, so
they're actually using their
00:13:32.91\00:13:36.48
cell phones to put the
signal on for their families.
00:13:36.48\00:13:38.11
And, of course, some people
have tablets, some people have
00:13:38.45\00:13:40.32
computers.
00:13:40.32\00:13:44.39
Evangelistic Campaign that shows
the name of the Evangelistic
00:13:44.39\00:13:49.02
Campaign.
00:13:49.02\00:13:53.23
In this video, you see,
of course, the music part.
00:13:53.53\00:13:57.70
And this video shows us all
that there's a huge undertaking.
00:13:57.97\00:14:03.20
It's very well organized.
00:14:03.41\00:14:04.84
And there's special music.
00:14:05.24\00:14:06.68
And the music
is wonderful music.
00:14:07.24\00:14:09.24
Actually, this is music
that 3ABN viewers will enjoy.
00:14:09.34\00:14:12.91
This is Pastor Luis Orozco that
you see on the screen preaching.
00:14:13.11\00:14:15.68
And the Lord uses him.
00:14:16.18\00:14:17.65
He has a particular way of
preaching that really attracts
00:14:17.72\00:14:22.06
people.
00:14:22.06\00:14:22.52
And this is why he was selected.
00:14:22.89\00:14:24.56
And he is making appeals
that are really touching hearts.
00:14:24.69\00:14:27.86
And it is all, of course, the
work of the Holy Spirit working
00:14:28.33\00:14:31.73
in hearts and
drawing people to the Lord.
00:14:31.73\00:14:34.57
Because when the Word of God is
preached, we know that it will
00:14:34.57\00:14:38.11
not return to him void and
he will use any instrument that
00:14:38.11\00:14:41.81
surrenders. And we see
that there's a lot of prayer.
00:14:41.81\00:14:43.41
He's always asking, when you see
him, he'll say, please pray for
00:14:43.41\00:14:47.25
me. And he is being prayed for.
00:14:47.42\00:14:49.25
This is a young
man that is blind.
00:14:49.32\00:14:51.39
And he says, people see the sun,
but they don't see what I see.
00:14:52.25\00:14:58.33
And he has spiritual eyesight
that allows him to connect to
00:14:58.59\00:15:02.36
the Lord. And every
night, people are baptized.
00:15:02.43\00:15:04.30
And we just praise the Lord for
what is going on because this is
00:15:04.83\00:15:07.60
like an awakening that is
happening because the unions,
00:15:07.60\00:15:11.54
they have talked about uniting
and they're uniting their
00:15:11.54\00:15:15.11
efforts. And it's a tremendous
blessing to see the union
presidents come here
00:15:15.61\00:15:20.68
and they participate as well.
00:15:20.68\00:15:22.75
And we just praise the Lord
because 3ABN is a part of this
00:15:22.98\00:15:28.59
historic, evangelistic campaign
here in Mexico City, in Chiapas,
00:15:28.59\00:15:32.43
Mexico. Thank you so much,
Pastor Johnny Yu and Mrs. Denzi
00:15:33.43\00:15:37.13
and Brother
Randy for being there.
00:15:37.13\00:15:38.17
Thank you for your
leadership with 3ABN Latino.
00:15:38.20\00:15:41.04
Thank you for the clarification.
00:15:41.04\00:15:42.67
There's thousands of churches
being involved and joining
00:15:43.04\00:15:47.61
together and those
home groups as well.
00:15:47.61\00:15:48.81
So praise the Lord that the
Gospel message is going out and
00:15:48.94\00:15:52.78
we're joining in prayer that
there will be a rich harvest of
00:15:52.78\00:15:56.18
souls. Amen, absolutely.
00:15:56.42\00:15:57.29
And I echo what Jill says.
00:15:57.32\00:15:58.35
Thank you for your
leadership, Pastor John Denzi.
00:15:58.39\00:15:59.95
We continue to pray for you.
00:16:00.12\00:16:01.26
And safe travels back because
one week from tonight, 3ABN Fall
00:16:01.66\00:16:05.36
Homecoming starts.
00:16:05.36\00:16:06.53
And I know you all will be here.
00:16:06.56\00:16:10.40
are going on there.
00:16:10.40\00:16:10.90
Thank you again.
00:16:11.07\00:16:11.67
God bless you.
00:16:11.93\00:16:12.47
Have a great evening.
00:16:12.50\00:16:13.27
What a blessing.
00:16:14.00\00:16:17.44
and yeah, it's
just exciting to see.
00:16:17.44\00:16:19.61
You know, we know we're
living in the end times.
00:16:19.74\00:16:21.91
And wow, just to see the work
of God still exploding in a good
00:16:22.51\00:16:26.11
way around the world and so
many people that are looking for
00:16:26.11\00:16:30.15
truth, looking for answers
in the world full of chaos.
00:16:30.15\00:16:32.19
And we know that Camp Meeting is
coming, like I just said, a week
00:16:32.52\00:16:36.06
from tonight.
00:16:36.06\00:16:36.93
So excited about that.
00:16:37.36\00:16:39.13
And it's a revival of
righteousness right here on the
00:16:39.13\00:16:44.00
campus of 3ABN. And we know many
of you have already signed up to
00:16:44.40\00:16:46.43
come. Those of you bringing RVs
have signed up because you have
00:16:46.53\00:16:49.20
to do that if
you're bringing an RV.
00:16:49.20\00:16:50.14
Also, we know some of
you are bringing tents.
00:16:50.61\00:16:52.57
We have a really nice
bath house here at 3ABN.
00:16:52.67\00:16:55.68
And we're expecting quite a good
crowd here for fall, which we
00:16:55.91\00:16:59.51
normally do.
00:16:59.51\00:17:02.72
summer spring camp
meeting that we have.
00:17:02.72\00:17:04.72
It's a little bit less people
here and some people like that.
00:17:04.82\00:17:08.32
But we know the messages
will be really, really powerful.
00:17:08.32\00:17:10.76
So if you can make
it here, that's great.
00:17:11.43\00:17:13.03
If you can't, of course, you can
join us right here on 3ABN and
00:17:13.06\00:17:16.93
3ABN Radio.
00:17:16.93\00:17:17.27
But speaking of camp
meeting, we have Dee and Kelly.
00:17:18.00\00:17:20.94
There are many people that
help make camp meeting happen.
00:17:21.07\00:17:24.21
But when you drive into
the parking lot of the worship
00:17:24.64\00:17:27.64
center where camp meeting
happens, you'll see these two
ladies at the information
00:17:27.64\00:17:31.85
center.
00:17:31.85\00:17:32.31
Why do you like
camp meeting, Dee?
00:17:32.68\00:17:33.88
Well, I've always
enjoyed camp meeting.
00:17:34.48\00:17:36.52
Even when I was in
production, I enjoyed it.
00:17:36.52\00:17:38.75
But now, now, I'm at the
information booth and I get to
00:17:38.92\00:17:44.16
meet everybody and see people.
00:17:44.16\00:17:45.36
I'm out there.
00:17:45.59\00:17:46.46
I'm not behind the scenes
helping camp meeting happen.
00:17:46.76\00:17:49.33
I'm out there getting to
meet you and interact with you.
00:17:49.60\00:17:52.63
And you get the kids and you get
just a wide variety of people.
00:17:52.87\00:17:56.64
And it's just, it's so exciting
because they're excited.
00:17:56.91\00:18:00.04
And it just blesses my soul more
than it blesses everybody else.
00:18:00.24\00:18:05.11
So at least I hope we're a
blessing and helpful because we
00:18:05.11\00:18:09.48
do a lot of
things for camp meeting.
00:18:09.48\00:18:10.45
These are these extra hats we
all wear during camp meetings.
00:18:10.75\00:18:14.62
Oh, yes.
00:18:14.72\00:18:18.16
And I've been out
there for three years.
00:18:18.49\00:18:20.33
That'll be four.
00:18:20.60\00:18:21.26
This will be my fourth.
00:18:21.33\00:18:22.13
But coming back, you know, the
people that come back every time
00:18:22.93\00:18:25.50
and seeing them and seeing how,
what they've done in their life
00:18:25.50\00:18:29.57
or what's been going on in their
ministries, it's great to see
00:18:29.57\00:18:31.81
everyone.
00:18:31.81\00:18:34.98
Right, so we have
our own golf carts.
00:18:34.98\00:18:36.71
So we do have golf carts that we
did have before, but we have two
00:18:37.01\00:18:40.98
red.
00:18:40.98\00:18:41.52
What do we use them for?
00:18:41.52\00:18:47.39
meetings or going to, when
the browse around is open, bring
00:18:47.39\00:18:51.89
them up to the
browse around or to...
00:18:51.89\00:18:53.73
Even to the meals too.
00:18:53.73\00:18:54.93
Yep, to the meals.
00:18:54.96\00:18:55.80
Yep, for people that are...
00:18:55.90\00:18:57.60
Any place you need to go.
00:18:57.60\00:18:58.97
Yep, just wave
us down and say hi.
00:18:59.43\00:19:00.70
And what color are they?
00:19:00.70\00:19:00.74
They're candy apple red.
00:19:01.97\00:19:03.27
I'm so excited, so much fun.
00:19:03.27\00:19:06.07
And they have a
roof over them now.
00:19:06.27\00:19:08.78
Yep, and it's a six-seater
and a four-seater that we have.
00:19:09.24\00:19:11.48
So we have two and
it's very exciting.
00:19:11.68\00:19:13.25
And both of you are the drivers
of these golf carts the majority
00:19:13.28\00:19:15.52
of the time, so what a blessing.
00:19:15.52\00:19:16.82
And thank you for doing that.
00:19:16.99\00:19:18.15
There's other people that jump
in and help too, but we're the
00:19:18.39\00:19:22.96
main ones.
00:19:22.96\00:19:25.76
you have a question, if you
don't, whether it's a camper or
00:19:25.76\00:19:30.83
someone tending or RV or even if
you're just driving in or coming
00:19:30.83\00:19:35.47
in from a hotel or whatever, you
need to come to the information
00:19:35.47\00:19:38.34
booths. We can help you.
00:19:38.34\00:19:40.08
You have maps and information.
00:19:40.28\00:19:41.84
Yes, that's right.
00:19:42.24\00:19:45.68
That's good.
00:19:46.48\00:19:47.08
Talk to us a little bit about
the tent camping aspect too
00:19:47.92\00:19:50.35
because that to me is just
a really neat aspect of 3ABN.
00:19:50.35\00:19:53.39
If you've never been to 3ABN,
I've had this from time to time,
00:19:53.46\00:19:56.02
especially if somebody comes
from a really big city, they're
00:19:56.12\00:19:59.06
like, whoa.
00:19:59.06\00:20:01.50
I mean, like
really in the country.
00:20:01.63\00:20:03.00
So we actually have a really
nice campus that people can
00:20:03.33\00:20:06.13
really enjoy nature
so they can bring a tent.
00:20:06.13\00:20:07.37
Talk to us a
little bit about the tent.
00:20:07.60\00:20:08.74
We don't really
have like a campground.
00:20:08.74\00:20:12.11
We have grass everywhere.
00:20:12.41\00:20:14.21
So you're not just camped
right next to, you can be camped
00:20:14.74\00:20:18.35
together as a group or next to
somebody if you want, or you can
00:20:18.35\00:20:22.15
kind of go out
away from other tenters.
00:20:22.15\00:20:23.49
You kind of pick your own
spot, but it's all grassy.
00:20:23.49\00:20:23.52
We have seven
different zones this year.
00:20:26.96\00:20:28.92
So we have A through H.
00:20:28.92\00:20:32.23
So we have that.
00:20:32.86\00:20:34.03
And so you can choose what zone
you're going to be in and then
00:20:34.50\00:20:37.60
just let us know.
00:20:37.60\00:20:39.10
It is a first
come, first serve, yeah.
00:20:39.10\00:20:40.64
And it's free.
00:20:40.94\00:20:41.67
People don't
have to pay to come.
00:20:41.77\00:20:42.50
And there's water available.
00:20:43.47\00:20:45.24
Of course, we
have the bath house.
00:20:45.27\00:20:47.04
With flush toilets.
00:20:47.14\00:20:47.94
With flush toilets, yes.
00:20:48.11\00:20:49.58
We have flush toilets, yes.
00:20:49.58\00:20:51.38
So it's not roughing camping.
00:20:51.85\00:20:53.48
We had someone bring their log
cabin tent and had a couch in it
00:20:54.42\00:20:59.15
and everything.
00:20:59.15\00:20:59.62
It was kind of interesting.
00:20:59.82\00:21:00.49
I hadn't heard about that.
00:21:00.49\00:21:01.39
They had a couch in it.
00:21:01.39\00:21:02.06
It was fun.
00:21:02.06\00:21:02.62
Oh, yeah.
00:21:02.72\00:21:03.49
It was a blow-up couch.
00:21:03.63\00:21:04.86
But it was still a couch.
00:21:05.83\00:21:06.90
It was a very cute log cabin.
00:21:07.13\00:21:08.50
But the thing that to me is
exciting is that three of them
00:21:09.66\00:21:12.67
talk about you being part of the
family, but actually families do
00:21:12.67\00:21:15.74
come with their kids and the
whole family comes and enjoys
00:21:15.74\00:21:18.41
great kids' meetings.
00:21:18.71\00:21:22.18
And some of these friendships
go on after they leave camp
00:21:22.48\00:21:25.81
meeting, too. So
it's very much a family.
00:21:25.81\00:21:28.52
We get to know people.
00:21:28.55\00:21:30.02
And one of the reasons we're
doing the zones like we are is
00:21:30.65\00:21:34.66
so that we can get a
hold of people in tents.
00:21:34.66\00:21:36.26
If there's an emergency.
00:21:36.39\00:21:39.79
phone numbers and stuff so we
can contact you if we need to.
00:21:39.79\00:21:42.60
Everybody's organized.
00:21:43.50\00:21:44.17
So thank you for
y'all's organization.
00:21:44.33\00:21:45.40
Very organized.
00:21:45.43\00:21:46.07
Talk to us a little bit about...
00:21:46.13\00:21:47.34
We mentioned in the first
hour about a hayride, brand new.
00:21:47.34\00:21:50.14
So Lord willing with
the weather cooperating.
00:21:50.41\00:21:52.74
Talk to us about
that Sabbath night.
00:21:52.77\00:21:54.28
After the last meeting.
00:21:54.28\00:21:55.94
After the meetings.
00:21:55.98\00:21:56.61
That's kind of how we
wrap up camp meeting except for
00:21:57.38\00:22:00.28
breakfast. We have this nice
little bow tie at the end of
00:22:00.45\00:22:02.85
camp meeting. So we'll
have a bonfire and popcorn.
00:22:03.28\00:22:08.52
And it's time for family to
get together and meet with the
00:22:09.49\00:22:13.13
friends that you've met.
00:22:13.13\00:22:13.83
So we have this...
00:22:14.03\00:22:15.26
It's not a new wagon.
00:22:15.26\00:22:16.87
It was given to us.
00:22:17.53\00:22:19.17
But Jim refurbished it.
00:22:19.40\00:22:21.60
Now Jim doesn't
do anything halfway.
00:22:21.97\00:22:23.77
This is a gorgeous wagon.
00:22:23.77\00:22:26.07
It's got slanted backs on it.
00:22:26.31\00:22:28.48
And he put stairs on it.
00:22:28.48\00:22:29.78
I don't care if you're
very young or you're very old.
00:22:29.78\00:22:32.25
You can still get
up into the hay wagon.
00:22:32.55\00:22:34.42
It's not a problem.
00:22:34.45\00:22:35.55
And it'll be a lot of fun.
00:22:36.05\00:22:37.35
So it's just a short ride.
00:22:37.75\00:22:39.32
Just pray for good weather.
00:22:39.95\00:22:41.36
So just come and enjoy yourself
and just have a good time at
00:22:41.52\00:22:45.56
camp meeting.
00:22:45.56\00:22:47.36
It'll be a tractor.
00:22:47.73\00:22:49.00
It's a tractor.
00:22:49.36\00:22:50.27
So it'll smell good.
00:22:50.77\00:22:52.23
Okay.
00:22:53.57\00:22:53.97
Yeah, but camp
meeting is a great time.
00:22:54.80\00:22:56.24
And again, talking about
the help and the kids' meetings,
00:22:56.40\00:22:59.64
Daniel, I know your family
actually helps out a lot at camp
00:22:59.64\00:23:02.71
meeting. A lot of your kids help
out volunteering at the, what do
00:23:02.88\00:23:06.61
you call it?
00:23:06.61\00:23:06.82
Cafeteria.
00:23:06.98\00:23:10.55
Yeah, exactly.
00:23:10.55\00:23:10.99
They work so hard, yes.
00:23:11.12\00:23:12.52
But talk to us about the
prayer time at camp meeting.
00:23:12.79\00:23:15.49
Because to me, that's a
wonderful way to start camp
00:23:15.59\00:23:19.16
meeting each day. That's right.
00:23:19.36\00:23:23.20
We pray at the end
of the day, certainly.
00:23:23.60\00:23:25.07
But we gather for a special
prayer time of about an hour
00:23:25.33\00:23:29.47
every morning,
right before breakfast.
00:23:29.47\00:23:31.44
And Donald, he's another
one up there in the pastoral
00:23:32.71\00:23:35.51
department. He especially is
just very energetic about this.
00:23:36.41\00:23:38.88
And the numbers, what we find is
that people might think getting
00:23:39.51\00:23:42.72
up that early is difficult.
00:23:42.72\00:23:43.95
But once you experience that
time of gathering together for
00:23:44.15\00:23:47.59
prayer, the
numbers always swell.
00:23:47.92\00:23:49.12
And then the last day
sometimes is the biggest.
00:23:49.12\00:23:51.63
And we just really encourage
people, if you're here for camp
00:23:52.13\00:23:54.83
meeting, definitely, make it
a point to come to the prayer
00:23:54.83\00:23:58.13
room. And you don't, the thing
is, sometimes people think, I
00:23:59.00\00:24:01.60
can't pray out loud.
00:24:01.60\00:24:02.44
You don't have to.
00:24:02.70\00:24:03.51
That's right.
00:24:03.67\00:24:04.27
You are there and you're
praying, you know, quietly while
00:24:05.01\00:24:08.44
others are praying out loud.
00:24:08.44\00:24:09.38
And then some people discover,
I can pray out loud too.
00:24:09.54\00:24:12.48
And it's such a blessing.
00:24:12.48\00:24:13.62
It's so encouraging.
00:24:13.75\00:24:14.48
Amen.
00:24:14.75\00:24:18.45
Truly, I was just shocked.
00:24:18.45\00:24:20.32
Just the energy of everybody
being on the same page, praying
00:24:21.29\00:24:24.99
to the same God.
00:24:24.99\00:24:25.66
It was absolutely amazing.
00:24:25.96\00:24:27.86
It's a precious time.
00:24:27.96\00:24:28.63
It was a precious time.
00:24:28.63\00:24:29.83
And I've seen a lot of people,
we're talking about 152 people.
00:24:29.86\00:24:33.10
And I guess we've been doing it
for the last four or five years.
00:24:35.77\00:24:38.84
And every year
just continues to grow.
00:24:38.84\00:24:40.88
You know, people might think,
how can you pray for an hour?
00:24:41.91\00:24:44.55
Well, we break it down into
shorter periods of time with
00:24:44.81\00:24:48.48
topics. And then we share a
Bible verse and introduce the
00:24:48.72\00:24:51.65
topic. And then at the end, we
have a little song just to draw
00:24:51.69\00:24:54.59
people's attention back together
and then move on to another
00:24:54.59\00:24:57.66
topic. And there's different
varieties of ways that you can
00:24:57.93\00:25:00.96
lead people in prayer.
00:25:00.96\00:25:01.50
And so we try to
do it differently.
00:25:01.76\00:25:02.76
So there's some creativity and,
you know, it's new every time,
00:25:03.53\00:25:08.97
new every morning.
00:25:08.97\00:25:13.11
pray with people, you can get
involved in a real deep, intense
00:25:13.11\00:25:15.61
prayer, which is good too.
00:25:15.61\00:25:16.98
Every type of
prayer has its place.
00:25:16.98\00:25:18.75
But I like when you're in a
large group of people, they're
00:25:19.11\00:25:21.42
shorter prayers.
00:25:21.42\00:25:25.22
I love that.
00:25:25.39\00:25:27.92
Yes, isn't it though?
00:25:28.19\00:25:29.29
You know, the thing that
really surprised me, I came from
00:25:29.52\00:25:31.96
Central Texas.
00:25:31.96\00:25:36.03
If you're in a farming business,
it's pretty difficult, you know,
00:25:36.70\00:25:39.80
to raise anything
on 10 inches of rain.
00:25:39.80\00:25:42.07
Here we average probably 45
to 50 inches of rain a year.
00:25:42.40\00:25:45.81
We're talking about campus size,
where we're not just sitting
00:25:45.81\00:25:49.11
here, just pressed in like
you're coming out of a football
00:25:49.44\00:25:53.18
game or something, you know.
00:25:53.18\00:25:54.08
How large is our campus?
00:25:54.62\00:25:55.95
100 acres, 120 acres?
00:25:56.12\00:25:58.19
Yes, 200, over 200 acres total.
00:25:58.52\00:26:01.52
So we've got plenty
of room for you to roam.
00:26:01.56\00:26:03.56
That's what we're saying,
to have that special time for
00:26:03.66\00:26:06.90
yourself. And the beautiful
thing about it is, it's so
00:26:07.86\00:26:11.43
pretty and green. I mean,
here big business is mowing.
00:26:12.07\00:26:14.17
In Texas, it's not so much.
00:26:16.10\00:26:17.97
It's not so much.
00:26:18.44\00:26:23.95
don't have to mow at all.
00:26:23.95\00:26:25.18
Let them do the mowing for you.
00:26:25.71\00:26:26.85
They handle that for us.
00:26:26.85\00:26:28.15
But this is a special campus.
00:26:28.48\00:26:29.88
If you haven't been to 3ABN,
just to see how beautiful it is.
00:26:29.98\00:26:34.49
I mean, Danny
Shelton, he's a visionary.
00:26:35.19\00:26:40.60
Oh yes, all the way.
00:26:40.70\00:26:42.73
I mean, 3ABN started just with
an idea, just with a prayer that
00:26:42.73\00:26:47.20
came through.
00:26:47.20\00:26:47.57
Do you act on it or not?
00:26:48.10\00:26:49.57
A lot of people are given gifts,
but they don't act it out.
00:26:50.04\00:26:53.38
Boy, this is,
and I mean, 40 years.
00:26:54.34\00:26:57.35
What a gift, what a gift.
00:26:58.38\00:26:59.71
So again, we invite
you to camp meeting.
00:26:59.91\00:27:01.55
It starts next Thursday.
00:27:01.82\00:27:03.39
That is September 26th,
goes through Sabbath night.
00:27:03.45\00:27:05.99
Come on down, come on over, come
on up, wherever you are, come to
00:27:06.12\00:27:09.39
3ABN camp meeting.
00:27:09.39\00:27:09.96
You're part of the family.
00:27:10.03\00:27:11.03
And again, if you
cannot, come here in person.
00:27:11.03\00:27:13.66
Of course, watch on 3ABN.
00:27:13.70\00:27:15.46
I believe, Jill,
it starts at 6 p .m.
00:27:15.53\00:27:16.97
Central time
with the music hour.
00:27:16.97\00:27:18.50
We'll have a couple of sermons
that evening as well, starting
00:27:18.87\00:27:21.47
Thursday night.
00:27:21.47\00:27:22.04
But again, I was
talking to a gentleman.
00:27:22.40\00:27:24.64
His name is Mr. Jerry.
00:27:24.84\00:27:25.91
He's coming from the Carolinas.
00:27:25.91\00:27:25.94
And he's coming
over to camp meeting.
00:27:27.71\00:27:29.61
And he said, I'm going to come
a little bit early, he said, and
00:27:29.71\00:27:31.88
just kind of hang out and
enjoy the scenery and things.
00:27:31.88\00:27:34.78
And then he said, you know, I'm
actually bringing a donation.
00:27:35.15\00:27:37.42
I said, okay.
00:27:37.49\00:27:41.09
donation center.
00:27:41.09\00:27:44.46
some items, a lot of people
bring some coins or some jewelry
00:27:44.46\00:27:46.93
or some other different
items for our donation center.
00:27:46.93\00:27:49.43
We then turn those around,
sell them at a good price.
00:27:49.73\00:27:52.93
You know, God blesses with that.
00:27:53.03\00:27:54.50
And then that money is
immediately turned right back
00:27:54.54\00:27:56.60
into the ministry of 3ABN.
00:27:56.60\00:27:57.34
So Jerry's
coming to camp meeting.
00:27:57.44\00:27:58.61
But when he's coming, he's
actually bringing some items
00:27:58.91\00:28:01.28
with him that
3ABN then can sell.
00:28:01.28\00:28:02.34
So it's just a
great time of fellowship.
00:28:02.41\00:28:04.28
Love camp meeting.
00:28:04.41\00:28:05.08
Thank you for what
each one of you do.
00:28:05.31\00:28:06.88
I know the pastoral
department usually does tours.
00:28:06.92\00:28:09.02
So if you've not been or you've
been before, want to see the
00:28:09.02\00:28:12.32
studios where we are right here
this evening, see where Sabbath
00:28:12.32\00:28:14.52
School panel is
recorded, that sort of thing.
00:28:14.52\00:28:16.22
We do tours.
00:28:16.42\00:28:17.39
Let's see, fall.
00:28:17.53\00:28:18.46
That would be Friday
after noon, I believe it is.
00:28:18.53\00:28:21.06
I'll be about...
00:28:21.30\00:28:22.70
245 to 330.
00:28:22.70\00:28:24.43
Yes, something like that.
00:28:24.57\00:28:25.87
215 maybe?
00:28:26.20\00:28:26.80
It's an open space
in there, you know.
00:28:27.04\00:28:29.24
Yeah.
00:28:30.21\00:28:33.71
Point them in the right
direction so we won't leave you
00:28:34.74\00:28:37.41
lost trying to wander around.
00:28:37.41\00:28:38.28
So yeah, for sure.
00:28:38.28\00:28:39.38
If you're bringing an
RV, you need to register.
00:28:39.75\00:28:42.48
If you're bringing a tent,
you don't have to register in
00:28:42.72\00:28:44.99
advance. But if you're bringing
an RV, you need to register in
00:28:45.05\00:28:48.62
advance because we only
have so many spots for that.
00:28:48.62\00:28:50.09
But the call
center is open tonight.
00:28:50.13\00:28:51.39
So you can call us
right now at 618 -627-4651.
00:28:51.56\00:28:57.03
That number
again is 618-627-4651.
00:28:57.20\00:29:01.57
And you just say, I'm
coming to camp meeting.
00:29:01.70\00:29:04.04
I'm bringing my RV.
00:29:04.24\00:29:05.77
They'll ask you a
couple of questions about that.
00:29:05.77\00:29:08.34
But it's complimentary.
00:29:08.74\00:29:09.68
You don't have to
pay anything to stay.
00:29:09.78\00:29:11.15
And just register because
we would love to have you here.
00:29:11.88\00:29:14.12
And the food is free.
00:29:15.32\00:29:16.92
Absolutely,
everything is complimentary.
00:29:17.65\00:29:19.42
The gospel is free as well.
00:29:19.92\00:29:21.06
And that's the
bottom line, absolutely.
00:29:21.59\00:29:23.83
Feed your body and your spirit.
00:29:23.96\00:29:25.53
That's right.
00:29:25.79\00:29:26.39
So I mentioned earlier, and I
forgot to pitch it back to you,
00:29:27.13\00:29:29.46
but about the books.
00:29:29.46\00:29:31.93
same number this evening and
maybe talk about that cost too.
00:29:31.93\00:29:34.50
Absolutely.
00:29:34.50\00:29:35.17
So the abortion books
will be here next week.
00:29:35.54\00:29:37.57
So this is the focus
on Truth About Abortion.
00:29:38.24\00:29:40.84
So we've had sponsors who've
covered the printing costs of
00:29:41.04\00:29:45.25
the book.
00:29:45.25\00:29:45.55
Praise the Lord for that.
00:29:45.88\00:29:47.12
So all you need to pay is
the cost of the shipping and the
00:29:47.48\00:29:50.59
handling for that.
00:29:50.59\00:29:51.39
So there's 200
booklets in a case.
00:29:51.39\00:29:54.59
You can order the cases
right now at 618-627-4651.
00:29:54.96\00:30:01.40
And there's $30 for the shipping
and handling for the case, so an
00:30:01.70\00:30:05.20
entire case for $30 for
that shipping and handling.
00:30:05.20\00:30:08.27
Or you can go online, 3abn.tv,
and you can order as well if
00:30:09.04\00:30:14.84
you'd like the cases that way.
00:30:14.84\00:30:15.98
In addition, we talked the
first hour about Shelley's book,
00:30:16.31\00:30:19.81
Spotless, The
Everlasting Covenant.
00:30:19.88\00:30:22.45
We're just getting ready to
reprint, do the second printing
00:30:23.15\00:30:26.42
of that for the book in English
and in Spanish because it's
00:30:26.42\00:30:30.83
translated into
Spanish now as well.
00:30:30.83\00:30:32.19
And if you want to help sponsor
the printing of that book so
00:30:32.69\00:30:37.67
that it can be given away free,
just the cost of the shipping
00:30:37.67\00:30:41.47
again, if you want to help
sponsor that, we've had a great
00:30:41.47\00:30:45.84
response come in. I would say
over half is already sponsored.
00:30:45.87\00:30:48.11
So praise the Lord for that.
00:30:48.88\00:30:50.35
But you can call us at 3abn
as well if you'd like to help
00:30:50.38\00:30:53.38
sponsor that. Or
go online and donate.
00:30:53.38\00:30:54.98
The fund code is 317-317.
00:30:55.32\00:30:58.65
That's for Spotless.
00:30:58.65\00:30:59.95
And we'd love to be able to
get that book out, have an even
00:30:59.95\00:31:04.39
wider distribution because it's
all about the gospel,
righteousness by faith.
00:31:04.39\00:31:08.73
And if I can mention this,
this is a wonderful opportunity.
00:31:08.93\00:31:11.80
If you come to our campus, if
you enjoy the camp meeting here
00:31:12.00\00:31:15.40
in person, and these books,
rather than spending it for
00:31:15.40\00:31:19.91
freight, you can probably save
the shipping for what it cost
00:31:19.91\00:31:22.91
you to get here.
That's right, correct.
00:31:22.91\00:31:23.88
That's something to think about.
00:31:24.91\00:31:26.21
Another reason to come
to camp meeting in person.
00:31:26.21\00:31:28.05
Amen.
00:31:28.22\00:31:28.45
Yes.
00:31:28.45\00:31:31.79
We've been talking a
lot about the first set.
00:31:31.99\00:31:34.06
And we have it, and
many of you have it already.
00:31:34.22\00:31:36.42
But the second set
will be here by next week.
00:31:36.89\00:31:40.50
You can
pre-order it if you'd like.
00:31:40.83\00:31:43.10
The second set, the first
set is called Looking Higher.
00:31:43.26\00:31:45.90
The second set is
called Searching Deeper.
00:31:46.30\00:31:49.90
And we're calling
it our Prophecy Set.
00:31:50.01\00:31:52.64
So Daniel, why don't you talk to
us about what people can find in
00:31:52.77\00:31:56.98
this second set.
00:31:56.98\00:32:02.55
Sure, and it's
been a great privilege.
00:32:02.78\00:32:04.65
You know, we opened the
program talking about evangelism
00:32:04.75\00:32:08.52
worldwide. And these Bible
studies, they're like a little
00:32:08.59\00:32:12.43
evangelism series. They go out
somewhere, and then we don't
know where they go.
00:32:13.09\00:32:16.30
And a little evangelism series
happens around a kitchen table,
00:32:16.63\00:32:20.10
or in a prison
cell, or over the phone.
00:32:20.10\00:32:22.37
Because I know people have,
you know, shipped a set off to a
00:32:22.44\00:32:25.21
family member, and
then they meet once a week.
00:32:25.21\00:32:26.68
And over the phone, they
read through it together.
00:32:26.68\00:32:28.91
And then as the Lord leads,
continue to ask and answer more
00:32:29.18\00:32:32.28
questions.
00:32:32.28\00:32:32.91
So the second set, it
follows the same format.
00:32:33.55\00:32:36.58
It'll look just like this, just
a different color, and different
00:32:36.58\00:32:36.62
pictures on the front.
00:32:39.15\00:32:40.29
But it'll pick up exactly,
pretty much where we left off.
00:32:40.69\00:32:43.66
The first set kind of introduces
basic Bible doctrines to people
00:32:43.69\00:32:48.66
who may already know something,
or even those who know
absolutely nothing.
00:32:48.66\00:32:51.93
You could start right here.
00:32:52.00\00:32:53.37
And then the second set, I'm
just going to walk you through
00:32:53.80\00:32:55.60
the topics that
we find in there.
00:32:55.60\00:32:56.94
It starts with a
relationship with Jesus.
00:32:57.87\00:33:00.04
So you've got the doctrines.
00:33:00.31\00:33:01.91
You've got beliefs founded
on the Bible, founded on Jesus.
00:33:02.01\00:33:04.95
And you begin to take those
in by saying, I want to know the
00:33:05.21\00:33:09.05
God of the Bible.
00:33:09.05\00:33:12.09
So especially
dealing with prayer.
00:33:12.39\00:33:13.72
That's what that
first lesson is all about.
00:33:13.82\00:33:15.69
Getting to know Jesus through
a relationship of prayer.
00:33:15.96\00:33:18.19
That's powerful.
00:33:18.19\00:33:18.73
Amen.
00:33:18.79\00:33:19.29
The next two lessons
following that go together.
00:33:19.86\00:33:22.60
The second one is about
the gifts of the Holy Spirit.
00:33:23.10\00:33:25.93
So when we've asked God
into our life, what happens?
00:33:26.37\00:33:29.67
What is the fruit
that begins to be formed?
00:33:29.74\00:33:32.21
And so detailing what the Bible
tells us about different fruits
00:33:32.54\00:33:35.31
of the Spirit.
00:33:35.31\00:33:36.14
Leading into the next one, which
is on the spiritual gift of
00:33:36.71\00:33:39.91
prophecy, which is an active
gift that the Holy Spirit gives.
00:33:40.32\00:33:43.72
And God is still
communicating to his people.
00:33:44.25\00:33:47.42
And so what is
the gift of prophecy?
00:33:48.26\00:33:49.96
And how can we understand it?
00:33:50.26\00:33:51.76
How can we look for it and
identify it in the world today?
00:33:51.76\00:33:54.00
And then the next seven
lessons go through prophecy.
00:33:54.60\00:33:57.60
Three of them on Daniel.
00:33:58.13\00:33:59.60
We'd love to, of course,
take all the stories of Daniel.
00:33:59.90\00:34:02.70
But really we focus in a little
bit on the story that zooms in
00:34:03.47\00:34:08.18
on Daniel 2 and Daniel 7
together in the first prophecy
00:34:08.18\00:34:12.81
lesson. And then Daniel 8 with
an explanation of the sanctuary,
00:34:13.11\00:34:17.09
which is just a wonderful topic.
00:34:17.09\00:34:19.29
Everything that we do
zooms in on the sanctuary.
00:34:19.49\00:34:22.79
And then Daniel 9 is the next
one, which is that prophecy that
00:34:22.79\00:34:27.46
points in on Jesus, the
exact time that he came.
00:34:27.46\00:34:30.30
And then that gives more light
on Daniel 8 and the sanctuary.
00:34:30.53\00:34:34.34
And then we move into the
three lessons on Revelation.
00:34:34.77\00:34:37.44
And there's one on
what is the Antichrist?
00:34:37.84\00:34:40.81
What do we find in
both Revelation 12 and 13?
00:34:41.48\00:34:44.81
And the next lesson focuses
on the United States in Bible
00:34:45.08\00:34:49.02
prophecy. And for those who are
unfamiliar, it paints a picture
00:34:49.42\00:34:54.19
that we find through the Bible
about the times that we're
living in right now.
00:34:54.19\00:34:57.29
And people will see the Bible
is talking about stuff that's
00:34:57.33\00:34:59.93
relevant, things that
we see happening before us.
00:34:59.93\00:35:02.73
And then what is
the mark of the beast?
00:35:03.16\00:35:05.47
And people are interested
to know what does the Bible say
00:35:05.50\00:35:08.90
about this? And so using just
the Bible and things that are
00:35:09.10\00:35:13.54
clearly understood in God's
Word, what's the mark of the
00:35:13.54\00:35:15.81
beast? And so if you're
wondering what that is, go and
00:35:16.04\00:35:20.78
read this when it comes out.
00:35:20.78\00:35:21.35
And the final four
lessons, all right?
00:35:21.88\00:35:23.95
Kind of still on prophecy,
we have the Millennium.
00:35:24.02\00:35:26.52
What happens
after the second coming?
00:35:26.89\00:35:28.66
There's a period
of a thousand years.
00:35:28.92\00:35:30.63
And what does the
Bible say about that?
00:35:30.79\00:35:32.46
And then we get to what is, what
does the Bible say about heaven
00:35:32.93\00:35:37.40
and the new
earth and eternal life?
00:35:37.40\00:35:39.57
Because there's some
misunderstanding about that.
00:35:39.67\00:35:41.64
And the Bible is actually really
clear when you put one text side
00:35:41.64\00:35:41.67
by side with another and you let
scripture explain itself, what
00:35:45.21\00:35:48.94
is heaven and the new earth.
00:35:48.94\00:35:49.78
Now, the last two lessons are
response lessons because people
00:35:50.41\00:35:54.32
have studied the Word of God and
hopefully they've been praying
00:35:54.32\00:35:56.95
through this process.
00:35:56.95\00:35:58.12
And maybe some others in their
study time have helped add more
00:35:58.25\00:36:02.96
to it by pointing to other Bible
texts that we couldn't have
00:36:02.96\00:36:06.46
space to include here.
00:36:06.46\00:36:07.23
But the last two
studies are response lessons.
00:36:07.50\00:36:10.67
The first one is the response
of baptism and making a decision
00:36:10.97\00:36:14.67
saying, Lord, I want to accept
everything that you've offered
00:36:14.67\00:36:17.07
me. And the final lesson,
and somebody said that it didn't
00:36:17.07\00:36:20.64
seem to make sense why you put
that as the last one, but the
00:36:20.64\00:36:24.31
last one is on stewardship.
00:36:24.31\00:36:25.08
It's not stewardship just
of coins and dollar bills.
00:36:25.45\00:36:28.85
It is about saying, you gave
everything for me and therefore
00:36:28.98\00:36:33.15
Lord, I'm going to dedicate
myself and all that I have to
00:36:33.15\00:36:36.29
you. That's the
essence of stewardship.
00:36:36.73\00:36:37.93
Everything about me, not only
the money in my pocket, but my
00:36:38.49\00:36:41.53
very life, my health, my time,
my relationships, everything
00:36:41.53\00:36:45.83
belongs to God.
00:36:45.83\00:36:46.40
And, of course, this
isn't the end of Bible study.
00:36:47.04\00:36:49.54
All of this.
00:36:49.67\00:36:50.94
We say this first set is an
introductory set, but the whole
00:36:51.27\00:36:54.51
thing is an introduction
to a life of following God.
00:36:54.51\00:36:58.81
The Lord has
used you tremendously.
00:37:00.62\00:37:02.28
The lessons are clear.
00:37:02.62\00:37:03.89
They're biblical.
00:37:04.12\00:37:05.22
They're consistent.
00:37:05.42\00:37:06.32
They're engaging.
00:37:06.42\00:37:07.32
I love in the back they have the
QR code where you can get more
00:37:07.86\00:37:10.96
information on our
3ABM Bible Answers website.
00:37:10.96\00:37:13.36
There's videos
connected with it.
00:37:13.80\00:37:15.96
There's ways that there's a
summary at the end and what does
00:37:15.96\00:37:19.47
this mean for my life today.
00:37:19.47\00:37:20.34
So we want to encourage you.
00:37:20.74\00:37:22.07
If you want, you can,
we'll call it pre-order.
00:37:22.14\00:37:24.81
The Bible study is actually the
first shipment is air freighted
00:37:25.24\00:37:28.11
in time for camp meeting and
won't be here till next week.
00:37:28.11\00:37:30.38
And then the rest are coming on
the slow boat, you could say the
00:37:30.95\00:37:34.22
shipment.
00:37:34.22\00:37:37.52
toward the end of October.
00:37:37.52\00:37:38.69
But if you want to pre-order,
you're welcome to do that.
00:37:38.72\00:37:41.42
One set, this is either the
first set or the second set is
00:37:41.69\00:37:45.89
available for a
suggested donation of $8.
00:37:45.89\00:37:47.83
That includes the shipping.
00:37:48.13\00:37:49.03
Or what we recommend
is the order 10 sets.
00:37:49.50\00:37:52.67
If you get 10 sets, it's
the suggested donation of $30.
00:37:53.03\00:37:56.60
So that breaks it down to $3
a set that includes shipping in
00:37:56.74\00:38:01.34
the United States.
00:38:01.34\00:38:04.61
States.
00:38:04.61\00:38:08.92
Now it's a pre-order because
you probably won't get it till
00:38:09.22\00:38:11.52
toward the end of October, but
you can call us at 618-627-4651.
00:38:11.52\00:38:17.73
We'll also have them available
for download for free at our
00:38:18.39\00:38:22.93
website. We have all
the first set already there.
00:38:23.06\00:38:24.90
The second set is not up yet,
but it will be up shortly for
00:38:25.23\00:38:28.94
that as well.
00:38:28.94\00:38:32.34
Word of God and
to study the Word.
00:38:32.34\00:38:34.54
Use these lessons in your
home and in your communities.
00:38:34.98\00:38:37.91
Can I interject something here?
00:38:38.68\00:38:40.72
I know that this has been...
00:38:41.25\00:38:44.99
This right here has been your
dream for as long as I've known
00:38:44.99\00:38:49.09
you. 3ABN needs
its own Bible studies.
00:38:51.63\00:38:54.13
Well, unbeknownst to us, we were
waiting for that right person.
00:38:55.76\00:39:00.17
Sometimes you try to get a
little bit ahead or you drag
00:39:01.64\00:39:05.04
your feet. We were waiting,
patiently waiting and the right
00:39:05.37\00:39:09.48
person showed up. This
wasn't on his radar screen.
00:39:09.64\00:39:11.41
And we didn't know Daniel Perrin
and then here he comes and wow,
00:39:11.41\00:39:14.48
praise God.
00:39:14.52\00:39:15.02
This man is a true student.
00:39:15.18\00:39:16.92
Very, very dedicated.
00:39:17.69\00:39:19.22
He's not one who jumps up every
5 minutes and wants to go get a
00:39:19.82\00:39:23.26
drink of water
or walk the halls.
00:39:23.26\00:39:25.69
He's a student.
00:39:26.09\00:39:26.96
He's in there.
00:39:27.20\00:39:27.66
He gets there, he
puts his 10 hours in.
00:39:28.10\00:39:30.83
He's focused.
00:39:31.90\00:39:32.93
And he thinks about it when he's
at home too He'd be like, wake
00:39:33.27\00:39:36.87
up in the morning or
going to bed at night.
00:39:36.87\00:39:38.01
Like, oh, this is
how we should do it.
00:39:38.17\00:39:40.14
So, you're right, J.D.
00:39:40.41\00:39:41.21
Amen.
00:39:41.48\00:39:47.45
and we've got a platform
to share it around the world.
00:39:47.45\00:39:49.88
We wonder how God
works sometimes, you know.
00:39:50.89\00:39:53.52
Well, I don't guess
he hears our prayers.
00:39:53.79\00:39:55.69
He hears our prayers.
00:39:55.99\00:39:57.39
He just says, hey,
let me handle this, J.D.
00:39:57.69\00:40:00.83
God's perfect timing, right?
00:40:00.83\00:40:02.10
That's exactly right.
00:40:02.20\00:40:03.16
Yeah, I know for sure.
00:40:03.30\00:40:07.57
layout here, you know, there are
many people for whom it's true
00:40:07.57\00:40:11.64
that a picture is worth a
thousand words and there are
lessons in here where
00:40:11.64\00:40:15.08
you open up and you look at a
picture and it tells you what's
00:40:15.08\00:40:18.25
on that page or it tells
you what's in that lesson.
00:40:18.25\00:40:20.55
So, for those of you who
are visually oriented, you'll be
00:40:20.62\00:40:23.18
blessed by what you see
as well as what you read.
00:40:23.18\00:40:25.55
It's a whole team because you
have the proofreaders and all
00:40:25.65\00:40:27.79
those copy editors and it goes
through a pastoral team as well.
00:40:27.79\00:40:29.89
So, it's quite a group effort
but it's fun, right, studying
00:40:29.89\00:40:33.23
the Word of God.
00:40:33.23\00:40:36.50
out here but talk to us about
the pastoral department, what
00:40:36.50\00:40:40.20
you do, there's a...
00:40:40.37\00:40:43.54
roll at the end of that because
he participated in something
00:40:43.54\00:40:46.54
really special recently.
00:40:46.54\00:40:47.51
But talk to us about your
team and what goes on there.
00:40:47.71\00:40:49.38
Let me say this in
25 words or less, okay?
00:40:49.64\00:40:52.45
All right.
00:40:52.51\00:40:53.15
Maybe add a few more words.
00:40:53.15\00:40:54.15
That's okay, take your time.
00:40:55.05\00:40:56.28
We have plenty of time.
00:40:56.45\00:40:57.65
Mending broken people.
00:40:58.02\00:40:59.25
Three words right there is what
the pastoral department is all
00:40:59.89\00:41:03.53
about. We know
that there's a need.
00:41:04.16\00:41:05.59
So, we know if there's a need,
how are we going to solve this
00:41:05.99\00:41:09.30
need? Well, let's
have a prayer warrior.
00:41:09.66\00:41:11.00
Let's have two prayer warriors.
00:41:11.47\00:41:12.93
Let's have
three prayer warriors.
00:41:13.27\00:41:14.84
And now we've got lots of
prayer warriors not only at this
00:41:14.97\00:41:20.28
location but around the world.
00:41:20.28\00:41:21.71
Let me just, I would like to
just go through some quick names
00:41:22.71\00:41:26.11
real quick of
our team, all right?
00:41:26.11\00:41:27.92
The two of us, the two of us.
00:41:28.58\00:41:31.52
Joe O'Brien, Mitch Owen, Donald
Owen, Ron Baird, Claude Turner,
00:41:31.75\00:41:37.16
our precious 104-year-old
soldier that's still soldiering
00:41:37.16\00:41:41.46
out there. His wife Anne,
Rich Fullmer, a friend of your
00:41:41.50\00:41:47.20
father's. Yes, that's right.
00:41:47.20\00:41:47.74
He was the head elder at...
00:41:47.87\00:41:50.11
At Parker'sburg Church.
00:41:50.11\00:41:51.07
Daniel Marconi, your dad.
00:41:53.04\00:41:55.24
Ian Vandervault is
working part -time there.
00:41:55.91\00:41:58.35
He's got a full-time job here.
00:41:58.38\00:42:00.08
Terry Stanley got a
full-time job here but they're
00:42:00.22\00:42:03.55
volunteering in our department.
00:42:03.55\00:42:04.02
Abby Cornea, she works
and she's writing letters.
00:42:04.55\00:42:07.86
We have four people in
the prison ministry that are
00:42:08.09\00:42:12.13
absolutely do the
work of 20 people.
00:42:12.13\00:42:13.50
And that's Delores Faith,
Celife, Celife, thank you, you
00:42:13.83\00:42:18.97
always know the
right how to say that.
00:42:18.97\00:42:20.20
And Glenn, so thank you Jesus
that they're part of our team.
00:42:20.20\00:42:20.24
Every one of them is dedicated.
00:42:24.31\00:42:25.77
What do we do?
00:42:26.17\00:42:27.64
We can sit here and talk
about it but what do we do?
00:42:28.21\00:42:30.58
If I can just take two minutes
I can tell you what we do.
00:42:31.11\00:42:34.32
We review books and programs.
00:42:34.62\00:42:36.25
We have prayer
warriors out there.
00:42:36.38\00:42:38.32
We have around 2,500 prayer
warriors around the world, not
00:42:38.59\00:42:42.19
just here in Southern
Illinois, around the world.
00:42:42.19\00:42:44.26
You...Mexico, I mean we...
00:42:45.39\00:42:46.93
There's thousands of churches in
every country and they're hungry
00:42:46.93\00:42:50.97
for 3-A-B-N.
00:42:50.97\00:42:52.27
If someone wants to be a prayer
warrior, how can they sign up to
00:42:52.27\00:42:55.90
be a prayer warrior?
00:42:55.90\00:42:59.51
Amen, amen.
00:42:59.77\00:43:00.51
How can they sign up for that?
00:43:00.51\00:43:01.74
Well, you just go to our
web page, look under pastoral,
00:43:01.94\00:43:07.08
script down how to become a
prayer warrior, 3-A -B-N prayer
00:43:07.08\00:43:09.92
warrior. Needless to say, this
is very important to separate
00:43:10.39\00:43:14.39
the good from the bad.
00:43:14.39\00:43:15.26
Each person who wants to
be a prayer warrior is vetted.
00:43:15.59\00:43:18.29
So we want to make sure that
we have people that we're all on
00:43:19.16\00:43:22.40
the same page
that's in love with Jesus.
00:43:22.40\00:43:24.23
And boy, do we need you.
00:43:24.87\00:43:26.60
The Lord loves hearing
and He loves our praise.
00:43:26.90\00:43:29.50
And so that's
what we're here for.
00:43:29.74\00:43:31.37
This has nothing to do with us.
00:43:31.44\00:43:33.14
You know, I think they
call James, camel knees.
00:43:33.51\00:43:36.21
I've heard that, I don't know if
that's right or not because he's
00:43:36.31\00:43:38.68
on his knees all
the time praying.
00:43:38.68\00:43:40.32
We're looking for camel knees.
00:43:40.85\00:43:42.55
That's what we're looking for.
00:43:43.02\00:43:44.42
We also have...
00:43:45.75\00:43:47.59
We all do special tasks.
00:43:47.59\00:43:49.12
What's a special task?
00:43:49.12\00:43:49.16
Well, it may be proof in
the 3-A-B -N magazine that you
00:43:50.66\00:43:54.83
receive every month.
00:43:54.83\00:43:55.10
That's part of our team.
00:43:55.40\00:43:56.73
Story time at the church school.
00:43:57.20\00:43:58.70
We have a church school here
that many of our students...
00:43:58.77\00:44:01.90
I mean, Henry was going to...
00:44:02.77\00:44:03.84
I guess he's still
going to our church school.
00:44:03.84\00:44:05.97
But there's people...
00:44:06.44\00:44:07.08
So that's one of our tasks.
00:44:07.08\00:44:08.61
Prison ministry.
00:44:10.61\00:44:11.65
Oh my goodness, my goodness.
00:44:11.88\00:44:13.95
They are working hard.
00:44:14.48\00:44:15.98
There's a lot of really hurting
people that are behind bars
00:44:15.98\00:44:19.49
right now.
00:44:19.49\00:44:22.52
I know that I would rather be
outside and not have anything to
00:44:22.52\00:44:26.03
do rather than be inside
and trying to fill that time.
00:44:26.03\00:44:29.00
This last year or this last
quarter, this last quarter, 3
00:44:30.20\00:44:34.37
months, we sent
out 1,200 Bibles.
00:44:34.37\00:44:39.57
Amen.
00:44:39.84\00:44:40.31
1,200 Bibles.
00:44:40.71\00:44:42.64
And that's not
that we're just...
00:44:42.91\00:44:45.05
They request a Bible.
00:44:45.41\00:44:46.88
We have people
from all walks of life.
00:44:47.68\00:44:50.92
I'd like to have
one of these Bibles.
00:44:51.05\00:44:52.45
This is for prisoners only.
00:44:52.72\00:44:54.39
Those incarcerated.
00:44:54.76\00:44:56.06
We love...
00:44:56.79\00:44:57.59
And so let me
just kind of take...
00:44:57.59\00:44:59.86
This last quarter, we're going
to talk about quarter and then
00:45:00.46\00:45:03.23
if you want to take that times
four, that will kind of give you
00:45:03.23\00:45:05.97
an annual take.
00:45:05.97\00:45:06.27
We took over 2,100 calls.
00:45:06.87\00:45:10.54
Then let's move
over here to letters.
00:45:13.64\00:45:15.61
The letters come in.
00:45:15.61\00:45:17.48
These are letters that
people are looking for prayer.
00:45:17.48\00:45:20.52
We did over 1,100 of those.
00:45:20.98\00:45:23.89
How much literature did we send
out in prison ministries only?
00:45:24.62\00:45:28.72
Well that was 2,600 pieces
of mail in addition to the 1,200
00:45:29.16\00:45:39.00
Bibles. That's incredible.
00:45:39.03\00:45:39.80
Then what's really happening
now is that we're beginning...
00:45:41.07\00:45:44.31
People are texters.
00:45:44.31\00:45:45.71
They love to text because they
can do that on their private
00:45:45.71\00:45:45.74
time and not get hung up
spending all day talking.
00:45:48.31\00:45:50.31
And so this last quarter
nearly 300 of those texts.
00:45:51.11\00:45:55.28
That's growing every month.
00:45:55.28\00:45:56.72
YouTube, that's really going.
00:45:57.39\00:45:59.35
More people are
sending those all the time.
00:46:00.32\00:46:01.92
And that's a time that we can...
00:46:01.96\00:46:04.03
That we review those
and then we can reply.
00:46:04.03\00:46:06.76
You know, Jesus loves you.
00:46:07.36\00:46:08.50
Here's a scripture that
goes and fits your issues.
00:46:08.53\00:46:10.73
Last quarter we took over 12,000
contacts calling in to our
00:46:11.47\00:46:20.84
little pastoral department
up here, our prison ministry.
00:46:20.84\00:46:23.58
We took over 12,000 contacts.
00:46:24.18\00:46:27.62
Whether that's a piece of
literature, a phone call, a
00:46:28.08\00:46:31.05
prayer here, prayer there.
00:46:31.05\00:46:32.25
Now you just
take that times four.
00:46:32.49\00:46:34.86
We're talking about 50,000
contacts a year and a little
00:46:35.29\00:46:39.43
office upstairs.
00:46:39.43\00:46:46.20
hurting.
00:46:46.20\00:46:46.74
Their hearts are breaking.
00:46:46.84\00:46:47.97
Sometimes we have wonderful...
00:46:48.44\00:46:51.24
We as a human race
have a wonderful life.
00:46:51.24\00:46:53.78
There are many people out there,
maybe a misfortune has caught
00:46:54.48\00:46:59.25
them. And where do I go?
00:46:59.61\00:47:01.08
They go to the King of
Kings, the Lord of Lords.
00:47:01.75\00:47:04.95
We're just merely
little helpers down here.
00:47:05.39\00:47:08.66
Somebody's got to
make a phone call.
00:47:08.66\00:47:11.13
Somebody's got to have a
kind word, share a scripture.
00:47:11.56\00:47:15.56
There's where we fit in.
00:47:15.93\00:47:17.47
Our priority is
answering phone calls.
00:47:18.07\00:47:20.87
Sometimes we're taking hundreds
of calls a day sometimes.
00:47:21.44\00:47:25.24
Sometimes it breaks our heart
whenever we may not be able to
00:47:25.27\00:47:29.94
get to the next call
because we're on a current call.
00:47:29.94\00:47:32.38
Sometimes it's called
a trauma center upstairs.
00:47:33.55\00:47:36.25
Because I mean, there's
battles being fought there.
00:47:37.02\00:47:39.79
This is not that Jesus
made me down to sleep, you know.
00:47:40.26\00:47:43.99
This is, I mean, there's battles
that are going on up there.
00:47:44.86\00:47:47.86
And so we're prayed up and that
goes back to why we need people
00:47:48.00\00:47:53.00
that are vetted, that loves
Jesus and that doesn't mind
00:47:53.00\00:47:58.41
getting their feet dirty
and fighting against an enemy.
00:47:58.41\00:48:01.08
That's exactly right.
00:48:01.48\00:48:02.68
So on 25 words
plus, that's what we do.
00:48:02.68\00:48:06.08
No, that's great, J.D.
00:48:07.02\00:48:07.95
Thank you for your leadership.
00:48:08.08\00:48:09.28
You've been there for years
and thank you so much for your
00:48:09.42\00:48:12.29
tireless effort
for the cause of God.
00:48:12.29\00:48:13.66
And you're inspiring because
you have a lot of energy and the
00:48:13.89\00:48:16.59
love of Jesus comes
out and you like your work.
00:48:16.59\00:48:18.66
That comes out too.
00:48:18.76\00:48:20.10
And it's just neat to see
how the Lord has grown you.
00:48:20.13\00:48:23.00
Years ago, you would not have
imagined being in the Pastor's
00:48:23.37\00:48:25.73
department and hear God and His
timing put you there for such a
00:48:25.73\00:48:28.47
time as this and
you're making an impact.
00:48:28.47\00:48:30.01
And I want to go take a little
bit of time because we have a
00:48:30.27\00:48:33.14
number of volunteers.
00:48:33.14\00:48:35.41
those people you mentioned are
volunteers and we want to go to
00:48:35.41\00:48:38.85
a role here.
00:48:38.85\00:48:40.68
That's a really special role.
00:48:40.78\00:48:41.82
Absolutely.
00:48:42.52\00:48:43.25
Leon is one of
our volunteers here.
00:48:43.39\00:48:45.02
And I don't know how
often this happens actually.
00:48:45.75\00:48:48.49
I should have
been more prepared.
00:48:48.49\00:48:48.52
But we have a veterans' flight
and this happens all over the
00:48:49.99\00:48:53.73
country. But they do for retired
people who have served, whether
00:48:53.83\00:48:58.33
it's Army or Navy or Air Force
or Marines or whatever branch of
00:48:58.33\00:49:02.04
the military. And they
fly them to Washington, D .C.
00:49:02.54\00:49:06.01
for an entire day where they can
go, they can tour, they can see
00:49:06.07\00:49:10.81
the sites.
00:49:10.81\00:49:14.48
They have a
sponsor who goes with them.
00:49:14.65\00:49:17.02
And Leon served in both
the Army and the Air Force.
00:49:17.79\00:49:22.49
And he was picked, as it were.
00:49:22.82\00:49:24.99
And selected.
00:49:24.99\00:49:25.66
Selected to be on one
of those veterans' flights.
00:49:26.06\00:49:28.43
And we had our crew who was
there to meet him when he came
00:49:28.43\00:49:33.74
off the plane.
00:49:33.74\00:49:37.27
All
00:49:58.46\00:49:59.06
right, we've got Army
and Air Force Leon Brown.
00:50:17.88\00:50:22.68
The honor flight has landed.
00:50:31.96\00:50:33.13
We have Leon Brown here
who was on the honor flight.
00:50:33.36\00:50:35.60
So Leon, how was the experience?
00:50:36.03\00:50:37.97
Amazing.
00:50:38.87\00:50:39.33
That's the only thing I can say.
00:50:39.83\00:50:40.97
It was amazing.
00:50:40.97\00:50:41.87
I've been to D.C.
00:50:42.24\00:50:42.97
many, many times
over my lifetime.
00:50:43.00\00:50:45.31
But nothing compares to this.
00:50:45.87\00:50:47.41
Awesome, awesome.
00:50:47.88\00:50:48.34
I love to hear.
00:50:48.48\00:50:51.61
And that sponsor stays, makes
sure they get here, makes sure
00:50:51.91\00:50:54.82
they get everywhere,
and makes sure they return.
00:50:54.82\00:50:56.22
And this is Leon's sponsor.
00:50:56.48\00:50:58.09
Kevin Reichert.
00:50:59.15\00:51:00.26
Kevin, Kevin,
pleasure to meet you.
00:51:00.52\00:51:01.69
How was this experience for you?
00:51:01.72\00:51:03.53
It's a blessing.
00:51:03.83\00:51:04.73
It truly is.
00:51:04.96\00:51:06.03
To finally see, especially these
Vietnam guys, getting the true
00:51:06.19\00:51:09.63
welcome home that they deserve.
00:51:09.63\00:51:11.07
And it's just,
it's a true blessing.
00:51:11.37\00:51:13.80
So where all did you
get to go today, Leon?
00:51:14.44\00:51:16.27
Most of the memorials, we
started, I think, for World War
00:51:17.97\00:51:22.44
II. Then we had
lunch at FDR Memorial.
00:51:22.78\00:51:29.35
Then we went to
Vietnam Memorial.
00:51:29.78\00:51:33.02
I was able to locate a
childhood friend of mine.
00:51:34.19\00:51:37.53
We played baseball
together when we were young.
00:51:37.53\00:51:39.39
He was killed in Vietnam.
00:51:39.59\00:51:40.93
So I found his name
and took a picture of it.
00:51:41.46\00:51:44.20
And the Air Force Memorial
is very new, but it is awesome.
00:51:45.03\00:51:49.74
I got pictures of it.
00:51:49.84\00:51:51.47
It's just amazing.
00:51:52.27\00:51:54.44
That's the only thing I can say.
00:51:54.84\00:51:56.01
Awesome, I love to hear it.
00:51:56.24\00:51:57.65
So Leon, I have to ask you, how
did it feel when you saw your
00:51:57.75\00:52:01.18
3ABN family here
when you got back?
00:52:01.18\00:52:03.18
Unbelievable.
00:52:04.12\00:52:08.36
The camaraderie at
3ABN, it's like a family.
00:52:09.72\00:52:12.49
And I just feel
blessed to be a part of it.
00:52:13.96\00:52:18.07
Amen, amen.
00:52:18.10\00:52:18.77
I love to say that.
00:52:18.80\00:52:22.80
We are family.
00:52:22.87\00:52:23.94
As you can see here, everybody
that came to welcome Leon Brown
00:52:24.24\00:52:27.01
back, God bless.
00:52:27.74\00:52:28.44
Amen, amen.
00:52:30.21\00:52:32.58
Amen.
00:52:32.58\00:52:34.28
And again, thank
all our veterans.
00:52:34.45\00:52:35.72
We have a number of veterans
that are here at 3ABN working or
00:52:35.88\00:52:38.62
volunteering at 3ABN.
00:52:38.62\00:52:39.92
But we again thank the veterans
around the world that serve
00:52:39.95\00:52:43.46
their country, countries.
00:52:43.46\00:52:44.36
And Lord, what a blessing that
you think about how the Lord has
00:52:44.83\00:52:49.06
protected, you know, and been
with these gentlemen and ladies
00:52:49.06\00:52:53.44
for many years and for Leon to
go back and actually go to these
00:52:53.44\00:52:56.50
memorials and stuff.
00:52:56.50\00:52:59.37
Amen, where do you
want to go to next?
00:52:59.77\00:53:01.14
We only got 4 minutes left.
00:53:01.24\00:53:02.34
We're almost done.
00:53:02.78\00:53:07.58
share whether you want to talk
more about camp meeting or about
00:53:07.58\00:53:10.49
the Bible studies or something
that's on your heart this
00:53:10.49\00:53:14.26
evening. And JD,
we'll start with you.
00:53:14.66\00:53:15.72
Okay, well, if you haven't, we
brought up stewardship a while
00:53:16.79\00:53:21.13
ago. Boy, there's nothing better
than being a steward for the
00:53:22.10\00:53:25.17
Lord. I don't know if you want
to call it payback or whatever.
00:53:25.70\00:53:28.30
You know, like with tithe, boy,
we have no problem with paying
00:53:28.67\00:53:32.07
tithe, that's very
important to Shelly and I.
00:53:32.14\00:53:34.11
And we have yet
to go in the hole.
00:53:37.95\00:53:40.25
You can't out give the Lord.
00:53:40.75\00:53:41.65
You just can't out give him.
00:53:41.65\00:53:43.02
As it is, what I have found,
never in a million years what we
00:53:43.22\00:53:47.72
thought we'd have been at
3A being in Southern Illinois.
00:53:47.72\00:53:49.86
You don't leave
Texas to go anywhere else.
00:53:49.96\00:53:52.46
But boy, we were impressed and
we came here and it's absolutely
00:53:52.83\00:53:59.83
amazing and that you can call
the stewardship because of what
00:53:59.83\00:54:05.04
we all do.
00:54:05.04\00:54:09.64
He handles that.
00:54:09.98\00:54:11.31
It's kind of like our
responsibility is to sow the
00:54:11.98\00:54:15.18
seed. He's the one that
allows the seed to grow.
00:54:15.58\00:54:17.69
And so if we can get that
concept in our mind, it takes
00:54:18.55\00:54:22.29
away a whole lot of pressure.
00:54:22.29\00:54:23.02
Oh, I've got to do
this, I've got to do that.
00:54:23.32\00:54:25.39
You don't have to do anything.
00:54:25.43\00:54:26.59
You need to show
up and be active.
00:54:26.59\00:54:28.46
Be willing to serve the Lord.
00:54:28.63\00:54:30.20
What about you, Daniel?
00:54:30.70\00:54:31.70
Sometimes people ask you what
your favorite Bible text is and
00:54:32.03\00:54:34.80
it's kind of hard
to narrow it down.
00:54:34.80\00:54:35.94
But one that always comes to
mind is Luke 11, 13, that says,
00:54:36.14\00:54:39.74
if you then being evil know
how to give good gifts to your
00:54:39.74\00:54:42.81
children, how much more will
your heavenly Father give the
Holy Spirit to those who
00:54:42.81\00:54:46.05
ask him?
00:54:46.05\00:54:50.09
the activities of 3ABN, but
the work of 3ABN is the Holy
00:54:50.09\00:54:54.16
Spirit's work.
00:54:54.16\00:54:57.89
We put something on paper, but
the Holy Spirit is bringing the
00:54:57.96\00:55:02.16
conviction and
working through it.
00:55:02.16\00:55:03.50
And it's just a privilege to
be involved in it, not only with
00:55:03.53\00:55:06.80
those here at the
table, but all of you as well.
00:55:06.80\00:55:09.20
That's great, thank you.
00:55:09.74\00:55:10.77
I've watched God for 28 years
guide and direct this ministry.
00:55:12.27\00:55:17.08
He's used all of the people to
do it, but it's been God's hand
00:55:17.71\00:55:22.02
that's been in charge.
00:55:22.02\00:55:28.26
it's inside too.
00:55:28.26\00:55:29.49
And I've watched God mend
people, lots of people here and
00:55:29.62\00:55:35.00
around the world.
00:55:35.00\00:55:39.07
I am so blessed and grateful
that God is using me in his
00:55:39.23\00:55:43.74
ministry. Amen.
00:55:44.11\00:55:44.51
Thank you Dee.
00:55:44.51\00:55:45.34
What about you Kelly?
00:55:45.51\00:55:46.24
So the Bible studies, we have
a Bible study group that we do
00:55:47.21\00:55:51.28
every Thursday night.
00:55:51.28\00:55:56.45
are just amazing and they're
just flow is wonderful and
00:55:56.45\00:56:02.29
they're just a real blessing.
00:56:02.29\00:56:03.12
So, you know, being able, I'm
looking forward to the new ones
00:56:03.53\00:56:05.69
that are coming out.
00:56:05.69\00:56:06.53
The second set.
00:56:06.83\00:56:07.73
It's so exciting.
00:56:07.96\00:56:08.76
And then also the
abortion book that's coming out.
00:56:09.00\00:56:11.60
I'm excited to
see how that goes.
00:56:11.77\00:56:13.47
And you know, yeah.
00:56:14.24\00:56:15.30
All about evangelism.
00:56:15.50\00:56:21.54
that.
00:56:21.54\00:56:21.91
Absolutely.
00:56:21.91\00:56:25.41
meeting.
00:56:25.41\00:56:25.85
So exciting.
00:56:26.38\00:56:27.02
Love to see you there.
00:56:27.08\00:56:27.98
Amen.
00:56:28.22\00:56:28.62
It's good.
00:56:28.85\00:56:29.15
Amen.
00:56:29.42\00:56:31.19
Thank you for
being part of the family.
00:56:31.22\00:56:33.56
Love working in
ministry together.
00:56:33.72\00:56:35.36
What a privilege it is.
00:56:35.56\00:56:36.96
Not just those here on the set,
but everyone behind the camera
00:56:36.96\00:56:36.99
and sitting in their offices.
00:56:40.63\00:56:41.66
And everyone here has a part
in spreading the gospel message.
00:56:42.13\00:56:46.63
And that means you at home.
00:56:46.63\00:56:48.47
You are part of our 3ABN family.
00:56:48.47\00:56:51.84
We love you.
00:56:52.14\00:56:52.91
We pray for you.
00:56:53.21\00:56:54.58
Thank you for joining hands
together because together we can
00:56:54.84\00:56:58.55
finish the work and go home.
00:56:58.55\00:57:00.18
We will see you next time.
00:57:00.25\00:57:02.32
