Hello, and welcome back to 3ABN,
second hour of the Behind the
00:00:11.14\00:00:14.94
Scenes program.
00:00:14.94\00:00:15.71
We're so glad
that you've joined us.
00:00:15.74\00:00:17.18
The first hour just flew by, and
Jill, I know I mentioned this,
00:00:17.45\00:00:20.32
it seems like every BTS, it
seems like 60 minutes speed up,
00:00:20.32\00:00:23.49
but they don't.
00:00:23.49\00:00:27.06
through the ministry of 3ABN.
00:00:27.06\00:00:29.12
And like you said, at the close
of the first hour, we kind of
00:00:29.16\00:00:31.76
play some musical chairs here
and bring in some more of the
00:00:31.76\00:00:35.20
3ABN family. And we have with us
this evening, of course, Pastor
00:00:35.20\00:00:37.83
John Denzi. So good to have you
and your lovely wife, Sister
Edalia, with us this
00:00:38.23\00:00:41.60
evening.
00:00:41.60\00:00:42.10
A lot of great things
are happening in 3ABN Latino.
00:00:42.74\00:00:44.57
So I know we're going to
be hearing some great updates.
00:00:44.71\00:00:46.47
But thank you for
being on this evening.
00:00:46.64\00:00:48.11
Thank you.
00:00:48.58\00:00:52.35
give glory to Him
because He's doing great things.
00:00:52.35\00:00:54.68
He deserves all
honor and praise.
00:00:54.88\00:00:56.42
But we just rejoice because we
get to be a part of it in some
00:00:56.55\00:01:00.56
way. And the whole 3ABN, all the
workers are doing something to
00:01:00.56\00:01:06.66
advance the gospel.
00:01:06.66\00:01:06.93
And it's a team effort.
00:01:07.23\00:01:08.36
Yes, definitely it is.
00:01:09.06\00:01:10.33
And most of them don't
even speak Spanish and they're
00:01:10.53\00:01:13.80
winning souls for Christ.
00:01:13.80\00:01:14.34
Isn't that neat?
00:01:14.50\00:01:15.34
That includes me, too,
because I don't speak Spanish.
00:01:15.57\00:01:17.94
Just some of the things
like bathroom and gloves.
00:01:19.31\00:01:22.34
That is true.
00:01:22.74\00:01:25.05
But we're going to be
talking in a few minutes.
00:01:25.35\00:01:26.92
You guys were just there.
00:01:27.08\00:01:28.08
We're talking about
traveling the first hour.
00:01:28.12\00:01:29.55
But you guys were in Mexico.
00:01:29.55\00:01:31.02
Some amazing things
that took place there.
00:01:31.39\00:01:33.72
An update.
00:01:34.16\00:01:34.82
Amazing.
00:01:35.02\00:01:35.76
Really an
incredible project with Cuba.
00:01:35.92\00:01:37.39
3ABN Cuba.
00:01:37.59\00:01:38.36
So stay tuned.
00:01:38.66\00:01:39.43
Don't turn off 3ABN.
00:01:39.46\00:01:41.16
And then right around the corner
from you guys is Jeff Dorr.
00:01:41.33\00:01:44.17
Good to have
you on this evening.
00:01:44.20\00:01:45.63
Well, it is a privilege and an
honor to be able to be here and
00:01:45.90\00:01:48.54
share this time with both the
Moriconis and the Densies and
00:01:48.54\00:01:52.37
our 3ABN family.
00:01:52.37\00:01:53.34
That's right.
00:01:53.51\00:01:54.01
Yes, we are.
00:01:54.38\00:01:55.48
We love the 3ABN family and it's
a privilege and an honor and
00:01:55.71\00:01:59.45
such a blessing
to be a part of it.
00:01:59.45\00:02:01.35
Amen.
00:02:01.55\00:02:05.55
and your wife is able to
participate with you especially
00:02:05.55\00:02:08.42
when you travel and see
some of our 3ABN family at home.
00:02:08.42\00:02:11.79
And speaking about family and
that, we talked the first hour,
00:02:12.59\00:02:16.43
Jill, about 3ABN camp
meeting that we just came from.
00:02:16.50\00:02:19.17
But I can hear you at home
saying, so when is the next 3ABN
00:02:19.47\00:02:24.01
camp meeting?
00:02:24.01\00:02:26.88
meeting.
00:02:26.88\00:02:30.91
a 3ABN camp meeting, summer camp
meeting right here on the campus
00:02:30.91\00:02:34.42
of 3ABN.
00:02:34.42\00:02:35.62
It's a month before the GC
session in St. Louis, Missouri,
00:02:35.72\00:02:38.95
but we decided to go ahead
and have that camp meeting.
00:02:38.95\00:02:40.22
What are those dates, Jill?
00:02:40.32\00:02:41.42
I was scrolling
very fast in my calendar.
00:02:41.52\00:02:44.39
I tried to talk a little longer,
give you a little bit of time to
00:02:44.73\00:02:47.36
find that calendar.
00:02:47.36\00:02:48.10
That's how we work together.
00:02:48.53\00:02:49.70
June 4 to 7, so that's 2025.
00:02:50.30\00:02:53.27
This is next
summer, June 4 through 7.
00:02:53.50\00:02:56.67
We'll be 3ABN summer camp
meeting, and we invite you to
00:02:56.67\00:03:02.11
come on down and spend that time
with us as we seek the Lord in
00:03:02.11\00:03:07.32
prayer, as we hear anointed
messages from the Word of God,
and the music, the kids
00:03:07.32\00:03:11.62
programming, everything.
00:03:11.62\00:03:13.05
So we look forward to that.
00:03:13.15\00:03:14.32
We're still working on the
speakers and what the theme will
00:03:14.69\00:03:17.73
be. But again, like Jill
said, we invite you to come make
00:03:17.86\00:03:20.96
plans, mark that on your
calendar, June 4 through 7,
00:03:20.96\00:03:24.17
2025. Jill, before we dive into
all these great details this
00:03:24.77\00:03:28.40
evening and what God is doing,
we have some music this evening.
00:03:28.40\00:03:30.57
We do.
00:03:30.67\00:03:34.98
song on the piano,
Power in the Blood.
00:03:34.98\00:03:38.38
Amen.
00:06:48.27\00:06:48.90
There is power in
the blood of Jesus.
00:06:49.14\00:06:52.21
I love that.
00:06:52.51\00:06:53.14
Thank you, Tim.
00:06:53.31\00:06:54.18
We love you.
00:06:54.44\00:06:55.54
So grateful to still have
you as part of the 3ABN family.
00:06:55.58\00:06:59.25
You play the
piano like that, Jeff?
00:06:59.25\00:07:00.78
Oh, I wish I could.
00:07:01.08\00:07:02.25
Oh, in heaven maybe, yes.
00:07:04.59\00:07:06.15
Amazing.
00:07:06.25\00:07:09.29
doesn't even really move
his body, but it's just like
00:07:09.29\00:07:12.63
incredible music just
flows out of the piano.
00:07:12.63\00:07:13.60
It is incredible.
00:07:13.70\00:07:14.30
It's beautiful.
00:07:14.63\00:07:15.00
What a gift.
00:07:15.00\00:07:15.10
A gift from God, it is.
00:07:15.56\00:07:16.70
Amen.
00:07:17.43\00:07:17.63
This is, of
course, behind the scenes.
00:07:18.97\00:07:20.57
So we want to give you a sneak
peek behind the scenes for our
00:07:20.57\00:07:24.17
anniversary program,
which will be next month.
00:07:24.17\00:07:26.68
3ABN's 40th
anniversary program is coming.
00:07:28.21\00:07:31.05
It's hard to believe 40 years
ago, God called Danny to start a
00:07:31.88\00:07:35.72
television station that
would reach the world with the
00:07:35.72\00:07:39.82
undiluted Three Angels messages,
one that would counteract the
00:07:39.82\00:07:42.56
counterfeit. And for 40 years,
3ABN has sought to be faithful
00:07:42.59\00:07:47.03
to that vision. One of the
features, you could say, of this
particular program will be
00:07:47.76\00:07:52.20
the testimonies of people whose
lives have been changed impacted
00:07:52.20\00:07:57.21
because God is using the
ministry of 3ABN because people
00:07:57.21\00:08:03.38
are finding Jesus and accepting
the truth in his words.
00:08:03.38\00:08:05.38
So our crew went out
and got a lot of testimony.
00:08:05.55\00:08:07.38
Yeah, so yeah, this year.
00:08:08.25\00:08:09.62
So that's going to be, like Jill
said, a major part of the 40th
00:08:09.98\00:08:13.05
anniversary special program
that it actually happens to be.
00:08:13.05\00:08:16.39
I want to say happens to be, but
it is November 14, 2024, is the
00:08:16.93\00:08:21.90
40th anniversary
Thursday Night Live program.
00:08:21.90\00:08:23.63
Well, that's the evening 40
years ago November 14 and the
00:08:23.70\00:08:27.70
early morning of November 15
that Mr. Danny Feldman pressed
00:08:27.70\00:08:31.51
to the Lord. So I just find, I
don't know if it's ironic, it's
00:08:31.51\00:08:31.54
just amazing to me how that
happens to fall when we air that
00:08:33.84\00:08:36.48
special program. So
mark that on your calendar.
00:08:36.61\00:08:38.28
And we have been looking at the
videos that the crews gone out
00:08:38.68\00:08:41.78
around the country and they've
been interviewing people of how
00:08:41.78\00:08:44.72
their life was changed
because of the ministry of 3ABN.
00:08:44.72\00:08:47.59
So we just want to give God,
of course, all the honor and the
00:08:47.62\00:08:50.53
glory, but we want to
encourage you at home.
00:08:50.53\00:08:52.76
It's because of you that these
people's lives have been changed
00:08:53.09\00:08:56.26
because of your prayers and
your continued support of 3ABN.
00:08:56.26\00:09:00.74
We cannot
emphasize that really enough.
00:09:00.80\00:09:03.30
It's really, it's a faith-based
ministry all these years.
00:09:03.97\00:09:06.98
We don't receive money from
the church or any other entity.
00:09:07.31\00:09:09.71
It's you sending in your $1, $2,
$5, $10, $1, $1, and that's how
00:09:10.21\00:09:15.72
3ABN has continued to
go forward and to grow.
00:09:15.72\00:09:18.89
Absolute miracle.
00:09:19.25\00:09:23.02
see this on a day-to-day basis
where we're praying and the
00:09:23.02\00:09:27.46
money shows up, maybe not
on that day, but the next day.
00:09:27.46\00:09:29.96
And what is amazing to me,
we're just being open, right?
00:09:30.20\00:09:33.30
This is behind the scenes.
00:09:33.30\00:09:34.04
You felt impressed.
00:09:34.44\00:09:37.77
what?
00:09:37.77\00:09:39.74
So you write your check out, you
put it in the mail and then we
00:09:40.04\00:09:44.98
receive it here at
3ABN just when we need it.
00:09:44.98\00:09:47.78
That's a miracle, folks.
00:09:48.78\00:09:49.82
That is a miracle.
00:09:49.82\00:09:49.85
all these years.
00:09:53.86\00:09:54.66
All glory goes to God.
00:09:55.16\00:09:56.19
It is amazing to
see how God is at work.
00:09:56.26\00:09:59.33
But we have a really special
role, Jill, that the crew has
00:09:59.39\00:10:02.90
prepared. This is kind of a
tease, a little sneak preview
into what you'll be
00:10:03.16\00:10:07.04
seeing.
00:10:07.04\00:10:10.01
two -hour live program.
00:10:10.01\00:10:11.34
But let's go to this
four-minute role right now.
00:10:11.61\00:10:13.91
Growing up for me, it was very
difficult to relate to my dad
00:10:22.18\00:10:26.22
because since he wasn't there
very often, I had more of a
00:10:26.89\00:10:30.66
relationship with my mom.
00:10:30.66\00:10:31.56
But I've never had a good like
solid relationship with my dad.
00:10:31.89\00:10:34.73
And so when he came back
from 3ABN and I had went, we had
00:10:35.26\00:10:39.93
something in
common to talk about.
00:10:39.93\00:10:40.87
We had something that
we could connect with.
00:10:40.94\00:10:42.70
I think for each family, there's
always that one moment that God
00:10:42.97\00:10:47.18
uses or one thing that God uses
to bring together or to bring
00:10:47.18\00:10:51.35
them closer to him.
00:10:51.35\00:10:55.78
together and just going and
getting trained the same and
00:10:55.78\00:11:02.32
being able to connect that way.
00:11:02.32\00:11:03.22
For us, 3ABN is what God used to
heal us and bring us together as
00:11:03.59\00:11:10.73
where we are now.
00:11:10.73\00:11:11.53
My name is Taluna Ziegler.
00:11:12.47\00:11:14.24
I know I focus mainly on making
money and my job and acquiring
00:11:14.80\00:11:22.28
things One day I went to my
hairdresser and she said, Oh, I
00:11:22.28\00:11:27.45
have 3ABN on.
00:11:27.45\00:11:28.95
I've never really watched
it before, but I would like to
00:11:29.28\00:11:32.25
watch it.
00:11:32.25\00:11:37.33
programs that
just touched my heart.
00:11:37.33\00:11:39.26
I started listening and made
me realize that it it wasn't too
00:11:39.36\00:11:45.77
late for me to
come back to Christ.
00:11:45.77\00:11:49.64
And I'm grateful for 3ABN.
00:11:50.11\00:11:52.74
They've given me
so much inspiration.
00:11:52.74\00:11:56.54
It's been a
tremendous blessing for me.
00:11:56.81\00:11:59.35
My name is Greg Klembach.
00:12:00.82\00:12:01.92
I didn't really come across
Seventh Day Adventist, but it
00:12:02.88\00:12:09.69
was through 3ABN
they came across me.
00:12:09.69\00:12:12.49
As I was flipping through, I saw
the title at top, 3ABN, and I
00:12:12.69\00:12:20.67
went past it and then my dog
alerted and her head came up and
00:12:20.67\00:12:26.24
she looked at me and looked back
at the TV and I was like, that's
00:12:26.24\00:12:31.58
strange. So I was like, OK,
we'll flip back to that channel.
00:12:32.11\00:12:36.18
My TV's mostly
been on 3ABN ever since.
00:12:36.62\00:12:39.89
Love to give Danny Shelton a hug
and tell him, I think you saved
00:12:40.02\00:12:43.96
me, but I know it wasn't you.
00:12:43.96\00:12:45.19
It was it was the
Lord and he just used you.
00:12:46.36\00:12:49.53
And then for them to make
me feel like I know them, I do.
00:12:49.63\00:12:53.64
I think of them as friends, as
family, brothers and sisters in
00:12:53.84\00:12:58.91
Christ.
00:12:58.91\00:12:59.77
They do change lives and, you
know, I'm living proof of that.
00:13:00.21\00:13:05.41
My name's Herschel Crippen.
00:13:07.05\00:13:08.12
I didn't even begin to find
the Lord until I was in my three
00:13:09.62\00:13:13.42
score and 10.
00:13:13.42\00:13:14.36
Surfing around, found 3ABN
when they first started here and
00:13:14.76\00:13:19.46
that's a wonderful station.
00:13:19.46\00:13:21.00
It's my church,
my church family.
00:13:21.00\00:13:23.90
They're about 3ABN.
00:13:24.63\00:13:25.40
They go by scripture.
00:13:25.40\00:13:26.37
They back up what
they're saying with scripture.
00:13:26.90\00:13:29.07
So I can't get
any truer than that.
00:13:30.51\00:13:32.87
I watch 3ABN every day and I'm
sharing that with my son and his
00:13:33.74\00:13:36.98
wife.
00:13:36.98\00:13:37.45
We've been having Bible study,
have Bible study over here every
00:13:38.38\00:13:41.08
Sabbath and we can have one.
00:13:41.08\00:13:42.15
3ABN's been a blessing for
me and be a blessing for anybody
00:13:42.52\00:13:46.09
else. For you to open up their
eyes and open up their heart and
00:13:47.19\00:13:51.53
find the truth is like an idea.
00:13:51.53\00:13:53.83
My name is Scott Harder.
00:13:54.96\00:13:56.26
This is my wife Wanda and for a
big portion of my life I didn't
00:13:56.56\00:14:01.34
want anything to do with God.
00:14:01.34\00:14:02.54
Worshiped Buddhist most of my
life until God brought me here
00:14:03.04\00:14:07.58
to America.
00:14:07.58\00:14:13.58
and I just rejected it.
00:14:13.58\00:14:15.95
You know, the more she pushed
the more I would dig in my heels
00:14:16.05\00:14:22.96
and one day I stumbled on a
channel that had his pastors on
00:14:22.96\00:14:27.46
there and I was watching
because they were talking about
00:14:27.46\00:14:30.17
prophecy. And then he was
telling me how he stumbled onto
00:14:30.47\00:14:35.20
3ABN. So I came from a person
that didn't want anything to do
00:14:35.57\00:14:40.61
with God to a person
that knows he needs God.
00:14:40.61\00:14:42.38
Through 3ABN we found truth of
living God in the Bible and that
00:14:43.11\00:14:48.05
has set us free from all
the bondages of our lives and
00:14:48.05\00:14:52.45
knowing that God is the answer
to all of our troubles and our
00:14:52.45\00:14:57.46
questions. 40 years of
changing lives for eternity.
00:14:59.16\00:15:02.46
Amen.
00:15:04.40\00:15:05.10
Wow, praise God.
00:15:05.30\00:15:06.40
40 years of
changing lives for eternity.
00:15:06.50\00:15:09.57
That's because the Lord's
word does not return void.
00:15:09.67\00:15:13.27
That's right.
00:15:13.27\00:15:17.11
Praise the Lord for that.
00:15:17.11\00:15:18.61
And that's because each one of
you are faithful to pray for and
00:15:18.65\00:15:22.32
support the ministry here and
each one of you and our camera
00:15:22.32\00:15:26.02
people and everybody working
here all together making a
00:15:26.02\00:15:30.59
difference for
the Kingdom of God.
00:15:30.59\00:15:31.43
You know, we're just
talking here family to family.
00:15:31.69\00:15:33.26
I mean, your family are
part of our 3ABN family.
00:15:33.33\00:15:35.10
But I believe, Jill, we should
go and mention this, but we have
00:15:35.16\00:15:39.27
had so many of these great
programs or testimonies and
00:15:39.27\00:15:42.50
they're kind of
lengthy, some of them.
00:15:42.50\00:15:46.84
weekend that would actually
be just focusing on a longer
00:15:46.84\00:15:50.98
version of these testimonies
because they are so powerful.
00:15:50.98\00:15:52.88
You talk about
encouraging, right?
00:15:52.88\00:15:53.98
Wasn't that encouraging?
00:15:54.02\00:15:54.62
It sure was encouraging
for us here on the set.
00:15:55.05\00:15:56.85
So may God be praised.
00:15:57.19\00:15:58.69
Amen.
00:15:58.89\00:16:02.72
nights.
00:16:02.72\00:16:07.93
lives here.
00:16:07.93\00:16:13.44
week.
00:16:13.44\00:16:14.10
Hopefully you can see it there.
00:16:14.10\00:16:15.57
It says 40 years.
00:16:15.70\00:16:16.81
So this means you can call us at
the call center because they're
00:16:17.07\00:16:20.04
open right now and you can get
your own 40th anniversary pin.
00:16:20.04\00:16:25.01
Call us at 618-627-4651.
00:16:25.71\00:16:30.15
That number is 618-627-4651.
00:16:30.79\00:16:34.19
Amen.
00:16:34.62\00:16:37.19
hour this really special, we've
been talking about this book for
00:16:37.19\00:16:39.56
a while, The
Truth About Abortion.
00:16:39.56\00:16:41.06
It finally arrived here at 3ABN.
00:16:41.26\00:16:43.50
It is available tonight.
00:16:43.50\00:16:45.80
As Jill said, the call center is
open and a case of 200 of these
00:16:46.00\00:16:50.11
booklets cost $30.
00:16:50.11\00:16:51.94
And basically the $30 is to pay
for the shipping to get to you
00:16:52.21\00:16:55.84
anywhere in the
United States of America.
00:16:55.84\00:16:57.38
So while you're calling in for
the free pin, maybe just say,
00:16:57.45\00:17:00.42
hey, you know, for $30, I'll
just go and get a case of these
00:17:00.42\00:17:02.82
booklets. And I know Dr. Yvonne
and Mr. Danny Rahn in the first
00:17:03.15\00:17:06.09
hour were talking about the
contents, you know, and what the
00:17:06.09\00:17:08.62
book is all about. But we didn't
get to really mention that this
is just a great sharing
00:17:08.99\00:17:11.26
book to just pass out.
00:17:11.26\00:17:12.56
You don't have to actually meet
the person if you don't want to.
00:17:12.63\00:17:15.20
This is a great booklet because
it contains everything that is
00:17:15.20\00:17:19.07
needed to discuss this topic.
00:17:19.07\00:17:20.14
And it's actually talking about
hope and healing as well in this
00:17:20.64\00:17:24.47
booklet too.
00:17:24.47\00:17:28.18
church, but also if you want to
just leave it, if you're pumping
00:17:28.18\00:17:30.38
gas and just leave
it on the gas thing.
00:17:30.38\00:17:32.65
Hopefully gas people aren't
upset with me for saying that or
00:17:32.88\00:17:36.05
maybe in a rest area or
something like that to just
leave this little booklet
00:17:36.05\00:17:38.95
because God wants us to put the
word out and as Jill mentioned a
00:17:38.95\00:17:42.02
couple of minutes ago,
his word does not return void.
00:17:42.02\00:17:44.76
So this booklet is filled
with great scripture as well.
00:17:44.96\00:17:48.16
So again, as you're calling this
evening, 618-627-4651 for the
00:17:48.20\00:17:52.90
free offer of the 3ABN
brand new 40th anniversary pen.
00:17:52.90\00:17:55.94
Also, maybe just say, you know,
for $30, I'll get a case of
00:17:56.60\00:17:58.91
these booklets and we'll be
happy to ship them to anywhere
00:17:58.91\00:18:02.04
in the United States.
00:18:02.04\00:18:02.51
Amen!
00:18:03.08\00:18:03.51
Let's talk about plan giving.
00:18:04.65\00:18:05.68
All right, let's do that.
00:18:05.85\00:18:07.35
Jeff, what is
plan giving all about?
00:18:07.65\00:18:09.62
Plan giving that people with a
heart of charitable intent that
00:18:10.02\00:18:13.99
want to support 3ABN.
00:18:13.99\00:18:15.62
That is for them because it
is for viewers like yourself.
00:18:16.06\00:18:19.93
I was there one time.
00:18:20.20\00:18:21.33
Now I'm here in this chair.
00:18:21.96\00:18:23.33
But 3ABN is supported by
donations while we're alive.
00:18:23.97\00:18:28.34
We can send in our
donations by month.
00:18:28.40\00:18:30.37
That's right.
00:18:30.37\00:18:31.24
You said the one,
five, ten dollars a month.
00:18:31.37\00:18:32.87
That's right.
00:18:32.87\00:18:33.38
Or larger.
00:18:33.58\00:18:37.61
We can do that
with our estate plan.
00:18:37.91\00:18:39.81
We can do that with items that
we can help you with here at
00:18:39.81\00:18:44.35
3ABN through trust, through
charitable gift annuities, or we
00:18:44.35\00:18:48.29
can take and assist you.
00:18:48.29\00:18:54.00
documents, whether it be your
will, a trust, a life insurance
00:18:54.00\00:18:58.40
policy, an IRA.
00:18:58.47\00:19:03.14
in the soul winning process.
00:19:03.14\00:19:04.54
But we'll be glad to take and
answer your questions and assist
00:19:04.87\00:19:07.84
you.
00:19:07.84\00:19:08.24
Charlotte and I, we've been
traveling around quite a bit
00:19:09.18\00:19:11.35
this year speaking with people
that have used 3ABN to set up
00:19:11.35\00:19:15.98
their estate plan.
00:19:15.98\00:19:21.22
real estate,
their personal property.
00:19:21.22\00:19:22.99
Some were helping them set
up their estate plan so that
00:19:23.32\00:19:26.59
whenever the time comes that
they go asleep in Jesus, that we
00:19:26.59\00:19:29.90
will be able to go and take and
handle the plan for the system
00:19:29.90\00:19:33.84
with that. One lady we did was a
kind of a unique story Charlotte
00:19:34.04\00:19:40.24
and I, we just came into the
church through 3ABN around 20
00:19:40.24\00:19:43.51
years ago. Yes, praise the Lord.
00:19:43.51\00:19:47.38
year that was
very encouraging to us.
00:19:47.38\00:19:50.02
Well, he passed away and the
first call that Charlotte and I
00:19:50.52\00:19:54.79
got to go visit was from his
wife and we went and visited
with her and it was a
00:19:54.79\00:20:00.50
tremendous opportunity
to share with her and talk.
00:20:00.50\00:20:03.37
And before we left that day, she
said, I am so thankful that you
00:20:03.93\00:20:08.37
and Charlotte stayed in
the church that her husband was
00:20:08.37\00:20:12.74
Clint, said, Clint and I have
prayed for you all these years
that you would stay faithful
00:20:12.74\00:20:17.05
and true in the church.
00:20:17.05\00:20:18.11
That's beautiful.
00:20:18.55\00:20:19.38
Because they were
there at your baptism.
00:20:19.58\00:20:21.08
They were there at our baptism.
00:20:21.15\00:20:22.22
That's right.
00:20:22.25\00:20:22.65
Yes, they were.
00:20:22.65\00:20:23.18
Absolutely.
00:20:23.65\00:20:26.69
join the team as an employee
and be the director of 3ABN Plan
00:20:26.69\00:20:30.59
Giving and Trust.
00:20:30.59\00:20:31.16
God is amazing, isn't he?
00:20:31.23\00:20:31.99
It's amazing.
00:20:32.23\00:20:32.93
I mean, it's just and right.
00:20:33.13\00:20:34.46
He calls and he qualifies we've
been working in this type of
00:20:35.70\00:20:41.30
work all through our life with
the states, through the auction
00:20:41.30\00:20:44.27
business,
through the real estate.
00:20:44.27\00:20:45.61
So it's very familiar to
us with what we're doing.
00:20:46.01\00:20:48.98
I had wonderful grandparents
and my grandparents taught me a
00:20:49.74\00:20:54.05
tremendous work ethic.
00:20:54.05\00:20:58.89
handle my money.
00:20:58.89\00:20:59.72
He says, it doesn't
matter how much you make.
00:20:59.89\00:21:02.19
It's how you handle it,
how you spend it and save it.
00:21:02.39\00:21:05.89
And it's true.
00:21:06.19\00:21:11.43
spend a million dollars.
00:21:11.43\00:21:13.07
Yeah, that's true.
00:21:13.30\00:21:13.90
It's very true.
00:21:14.00\00:21:14.87
I don't know how to
do that, by the way.
00:21:15.60\00:21:17.01
I know, right?
00:21:17.01\00:21:17.04
That's a good
point, Pastor Johnny.
00:21:18.64\00:21:20.21
But you know, it's just by
systematic saving and being
00:21:21.28\00:21:25.08
frugal and knowing
what your limitations are.
00:21:25.08\00:21:27.12
And through 3ABN, we have
dealt with a lot of people here
00:21:27.35\00:21:31.82
lately. You know, interest
rates, whenever I was young
trying to borrow money
00:21:32.22\00:21:35.62
to work on our home, or to take
and build a shed at the farm or
00:21:35.62\00:21:39.46
buy a machinery, interest
rates were 16, 18, 20 percent,
00:21:39.46\00:21:43.67
extremely high. But then I had a
neighbor walk across the street
00:21:44.00\00:21:47.54
and kind of told me, he said,
boy, these interest rates are
00:21:47.54\00:21:49.30
great. He said, I'm
getting 10 percent on my CDs.
00:21:49.30\00:21:51.44
So he was reaping the harvest,
but it was really a burden for
00:21:51.97\00:21:56.78
us. Well, here in the last
couple of years, CD rates, if
00:21:57.25\00:22:00.88
you're a CD person, you like
to have systematic saving, know
00:22:00.88\00:22:04.72
exactly what your
interest is going to be.
00:22:04.72\00:22:05.72
The rates were in 5 percent.
00:22:05.72\00:22:07.76
So, but they've dropped.
00:22:08.09\00:22:09.36
The feds have dropped their
rates, but we have charitable
00:22:09.46\00:22:12.26
gift annuities, which
are very similar to a CD.
00:22:12.26\00:22:14.30
It's guaranteed interest
for the rest of your life.
00:22:14.46\00:22:17.43
It's not a six-year term, a six
-month term or a year term is
00:22:17.53\00:22:21.40
for the rest of your life.
00:22:21.40\00:22:22.67
So if you are a person
that likes to save with CDs, you
00:22:22.87\00:22:27.58
should maybe consider a
charitable gift annuity.
00:22:27.58\00:22:29.34
It benefits the ministry.
00:22:29.74\00:22:30.95
It also benefits yourself.
00:22:31.15\00:22:32.71
A charitable gift annuity can
be started with $10,000 for a
00:22:33.18\00:22:37.62
couple. And I'll
use this example.
00:22:37.72\00:22:39.05
We had a person that passed away
this past year that benefited
00:22:39.05\00:22:43.56
greatly with these
charitable gift annuity.
00:22:43.56\00:22:45.26
He and his wife purchased
a charitable gift annuity.
00:22:46.83\00:22:49.10
And for just our purpose here
this evening, I'm going to use
00:22:49.40\00:22:53.47
$10,000. His was different
amount, but he's used $10,000.
00:22:53.64\00:22:56.74
So his husband and wife
joint charitable gift annuity,
00:22:56.91\00:23:01.61
$10,000. Through the course
of life, his wife passed away.
00:23:01.78\00:23:04.48
His payments continued for
him to the end of his life.
00:23:05.18\00:23:08.35
Well, in the course of their
life, they had bought $10,000.
00:23:08.82\00:23:12.45
They received $10,000 back
in interest plus an additional
00:23:12.89\00:23:17.73
$5,000. So their charitable gift
annuity that they took and set
00:23:18.09\00:23:25.33
up, took and
benefited them up to $15,000.
00:23:25.33\00:23:28.30
So it was a win-win for
them and for the ministry.
00:23:28.70\00:23:33.04
We have the health message.
00:23:34.04\00:23:35.31
The rates for charitable gift
annuities are set up for the
00:23:35.84\00:23:39.18
general population.
00:23:39.18\00:23:40.05
So us as Adventists
with the health message.
00:23:40.58\00:23:42.85
We can live longer, which
means more money is given back.
00:23:42.88\00:23:46.99
Very interesting.
00:23:48.52\00:23:49.29
And then we have that.
00:23:50.13\00:23:51.39
We have also the
self-administered trust.
00:23:51.49\00:23:53.46
And that's what we've been
doing quite a bit with as well.
00:23:53.83\00:23:56.26
But the self-administered trust,
if you don't have any other
00:23:56.53\00:24:00.17
family, if it's just you or your
spouse has passed away or maybe
00:24:00.17\00:24:03.44
you never were married and you
don't have any other family that
00:24:03.44\00:24:07.14
can take care of your business
at the end of your life.
00:24:07.14\00:24:08.88
3ABN, you can have
us set up your trust.
00:24:09.48\00:24:11.81
We pay the legal fees and
those trusts then, 3ABN is the
00:24:12.18\00:24:17.15
trustee. We can come in.
00:24:17.32\00:24:18.22
We can handle
your entire estate.
00:24:18.35\00:24:19.92
We can send the
money out as you so choose.
00:24:20.02\00:24:22.86
Your list of
beneficiaries can be one.
00:24:23.19\00:24:25.26
It can be 3ABN or it
can be several ministries.
00:24:25.29\00:24:27.86
And your children.
00:24:27.86\00:24:28.66
Your children.
00:24:28.76\00:24:29.60
We encourage you to
include your children.
00:24:29.66\00:24:31.00
That's right.
00:24:31.17\00:24:31.47
We sure do.
00:24:31.57\00:24:33.57
That's important.
00:24:34.97\00:24:35.80
They're your family.
00:24:36.04\00:24:36.94
That's right.
00:24:37.04\00:24:40.28
So include them so that
they can continue on the legacy.
00:24:40.64\00:24:43.21
That's right.
00:24:43.24\00:24:43.78
So that's very
important to do that.
00:24:44.11\00:24:46.28
So the charitable gift annuity
is that you have to be a certain
00:24:46.78\00:24:50.32
age to apply for that.
00:24:50.32\00:24:51.52
And the interest rates
vary based off your age.
00:24:51.59\00:24:53.52
That's a dude.
00:24:53.76\00:24:55.72
Charitable gift annuity.
00:24:56.12\00:24:57.06
You must be at
least 65 years old.
00:24:57.23\00:24:59.13
OK, I can see that chart.
00:24:59.13\00:25:00.60
OK.
00:25:00.83\00:25:00.96
Yes.
00:25:01.16\00:25:06.60
OK.
00:25:06.70\00:25:10.97
So the percentage
goes up as the age goes.
00:25:10.97\00:25:13.44
Yes, it does.
00:25:13.84\00:25:14.81
And if you're golden
years of 90, you can get 10.1.
00:25:14.98\00:25:18.68
That's a single life.
00:25:18.85\00:25:19.95
And this other column is for
a joint with a husband and wife.
00:25:20.12\00:25:23.92
And that husband and wife column
can vary depending on exactly
00:25:24.99\00:25:28.76
how old each are.
00:25:28.76\00:25:30.09
But that is the basic amount.
00:25:30.63\00:25:32.66
So right now, a CD
is approximately 4.
00:25:33.16\00:25:36.26
% less than five.
00:25:37.07\00:25:38.73
And they're limited about a four
or five month and you're going
00:25:39.40\00:25:42.17
to have to renew it and
the rate could go up or down.
00:25:42.17\00:25:45.14
But this rate would be locked
in for the rest of your life.
00:25:45.91\00:25:48.58
Yes.
00:25:48.74\00:25:53.38
to 3ABN.
00:25:53.38\00:25:54.45
You can get signed up.
00:25:54.62\00:25:56.35
You can get a charitable gift
You can get 5.7% interest for
00:25:56.35\00:25:56.38
the rest of your life.
00:26:01.56\00:26:02.22
So those are irrevocable.
00:26:03.02\00:26:04.79
Thank you.
00:26:05.06\00:26:05.33
That's right.
00:26:05.49\00:26:05.86
So they get a check every month?
00:26:06.19\00:26:07.30
Is that how it works?
00:26:07.50\00:26:08.70
Well, it depends.
00:26:08.83\00:26:09.93
Less than $50,000
you get it once a year.
00:26:10.83\00:26:13.50
$25,000 you can
get it bi-annually.
00:26:14.20\00:26:16.04
$50,000 or more you
can get your check monthly.
00:26:16.44\00:26:18.64
Okay.
00:26:19.07\00:26:19.57
So it depends on
how much you put in.
00:26:19.97\00:26:21.21
But it's irrevocable.
00:26:21.24\00:26:22.31
So this is a contract.
00:26:22.41\00:26:23.65
So once you start this, then you
have that guaranteed interest
00:26:23.75\00:26:26.92
for life.
00:26:26.92\00:26:28.32
Right.
00:26:28.58\00:26:29.02
It is it is irrevocable.
00:26:29.15\00:26:30.85
It is guaranteed as
a contract for life.
00:26:30.99\00:26:32.99
So you know exactly how much
interest you're going to get.
00:26:33.25\00:26:35.69
Now, this is not
for your emergency fund.
00:26:35.96\00:26:37.59
Right.
00:26:37.79\00:26:42.16
your savings
plan for many years.
00:26:42.16\00:26:44.47
My grandmother always told me
don't put all your eggs in one
00:26:44.80\00:26:47.17
basket. That's right.
00:26:47.27\00:26:47.77
Diversified.
00:26:48.07\00:26:48.44
Diversified.
00:26:48.90\00:26:52.54
been buying some CDs and
the interest rates going down on
00:26:52.54\00:26:55.34
them consider a
charitable gift and hoodie.
00:26:55.34\00:26:57.48
And those interest rates, Jeff,
that we were showing that's at
00:26:58.05\00:27:01.02
the recording of this program
because I know that some of this
00:27:01.02\00:27:03.89
stuff goes on 3ABN and you
can look at it two years later.
00:27:03.89\00:27:05.75
Well, they said this.
00:27:05.82\00:27:06.96
Well, this is as of the airing
which is in October of 2024.
00:27:07.06\00:27:11.66
These rates are
the current rates.
00:27:12.23\00:27:13.93
That's right.
00:27:14.00\00:27:20.20
these rates stay constant
for a long period of time.
00:27:20.20\00:27:23.44
They can.
00:27:23.47\00:27:27.44
January.
00:27:27.44\00:27:28.04
Which affects these rates.
00:27:28.04\00:27:28.91
Which could affect these rates.
00:27:29.08\00:27:30.11
So Jeff, really people need to
call you and your department is
00:27:31.08\00:27:34.32
the best thing, right?
00:27:34.32\00:27:35.68
Absolutely.
00:27:35.68\00:27:36.32
So what phone number
can they reach out to you?
00:27:36.75\00:27:38.59
800-886-4800.
00:27:38.99\00:27:42.46
That's 800-886-4800.
00:27:42.82\00:27:46.43
Yeah, that's fantastic.
00:27:46.80\00:27:48.06
And I like the point too, Jeff,
that you brought out is that a
00:27:48.06\00:27:48.10
lot of you, because we hear this
from time to time, have your own
00:27:50.50\00:27:52.90
documents already set up with a
local attorney or you've set it
00:27:52.90\00:27:56.47
up like you mentioned, the will.
00:27:56.47\00:27:57.51
And it's actually really easy.
00:27:57.84\00:28:01.11
to 3ABN.
00:28:01.11\00:28:01.98
No, just change who the
beneficiaries are and maybe add
00:28:02.24\00:28:04.41
3ABN to your current
existing documents, right?
00:28:04.41\00:28:07.12
That's pretty straightforward.
00:28:07.12\00:28:07.15
Yes, life insurance
policies have a beneficiary.
00:28:08.65\00:28:11.95
Years ago, whenever Charlotte
had purchased a life insurance
00:28:12.39\00:28:16.09
policy, she put as one of
the beneficiaries a ministry.
00:28:16.49\00:28:19.39
At that time, it wasn't 3ABN.
00:28:19.49\00:28:21.56
It's still not 3ABN.
00:28:21.70\00:28:22.86
But she chose a ministry to
be one of her beneficiaries.
00:28:22.86\00:28:25.70
And it's very easy.
00:28:26.40\00:28:32.54
you include 3ABN, put a sentence
10 % or 15, 20, whatever
00:28:32.54\00:28:37.48
percentage you
feel led by the Lord.
00:28:37.48\00:28:39.05
That's right.
00:28:39.11\00:28:42.78
to 3ABN and you will be a
missionary winning souls through
00:28:42.78\00:28:46.82
3ABN.
00:28:46.82\00:28:47.66
While you're
resting in the grave.
00:28:47.79\00:28:48.89
While you're
resting in the grave.
00:28:48.96\00:28:49.99
Isn't that beautiful?
00:28:50.03\00:28:50.59
Wow.
00:28:50.66\00:28:51.06
That is amazing.
00:28:51.06\00:28:54.10
In a sense, I kind of think
about, okay, while I'm resting,
00:28:54.23\00:28:56.16
waiting for that second coming,
the money is now helping 3ABN.
00:28:56.16\00:29:00.84
So what a blessing.
00:29:00.97\00:29:04.81
Great team.
00:29:05.14\00:29:05.94
You too.
00:29:06.41\00:29:07.01
And I think about this
department is really big for
00:29:07.74\00:29:10.65
3ABN too. It really helps that
money comes in just in the nick
00:29:10.78\00:29:14.02
of time, as Mr. Danny says.
00:29:14.12\00:29:18.95
Amen.
00:29:19.39\00:29:19.85
Absolutely.
00:29:20.19\00:29:20.69
Speaking of the gospel,
let's talk about Mexico.
00:29:21.26\00:29:24.06
You all came from there just
shortly before our 3ABN Fall
00:29:24.29\00:29:27.66
Camp meeting and held these
evangelistic series there in
00:29:27.66\00:29:32.93
conjunction with Hope Channel
and other departments there with
00:29:33.60\00:29:37.41
the division. So talk to us.
00:29:37.67\00:29:38.41
What happened?
00:29:38.54\00:29:38.77
Yes.
00:29:38.77\00:29:42.71
specifically Mexico,
the country of Mexico.
00:29:44.08\00:29:47.22
And I was at an event with
the Inter-American Division and
00:29:47.75\00:29:52.42
there we're talking to the
different union presidents and
00:29:52.42\00:29:55.79
they told me about, hey, we're
doing an evangelistic campaign
00:29:55.79\00:29:58.93
covering all of Mexico.
00:29:58.93\00:29:59.46
Would 3ABN be interested?
00:29:59.89\00:30:01.26
And we began talking about
it and we were involved in this
00:30:01.53\00:30:08.40
nationwide
evangelistic campaign.
00:30:08.40\00:30:09.77
This is the fourth one.
00:30:10.11\00:30:11.51
There are five unions.
00:30:12.01\00:30:13.24
They're each
taking a turn every year.
00:30:13.74\00:30:15.78
Next year is the fifth union
and then they're going to cycle
00:30:16.18\00:30:20.15
again. This is the fourth one.
00:30:20.15\00:30:21.45
We've never participated before.
00:30:21.48\00:30:23.05
So it's remained pretty
much a nationwide effort.
00:30:23.39\00:30:26.39
Five unions, 43 local
conferences across the nation
00:30:26.82\00:30:37.33
and 5,278 churches participated.
00:30:37.33\00:30:39.60
That's a lot.
00:30:39.60\00:30:39.63
In the downlink of it.
00:30:40.74\00:30:42.07
Now what's interesting is that
when we remember the net series
00:30:42.74\00:30:49.54
that was done before, this
is bigger in a sense because I
00:30:49.54\00:30:55.38
mentioned 43 local conferences.
00:30:55.38\00:30:56.02
Each conference
has their website.
00:30:56.22\00:30:57.29
Each conference also
did streaming of the series.
00:30:57.82\00:31:01.66
Each union did streaming of the
series and some of the churches
00:31:01.96\00:31:07.13
had streaming as well.
00:31:07.13\00:31:08.23
So that's a lot of streaming.
00:31:08.26\00:31:09.80
Reaching many people and then
there were some members of the
00:31:10.10\00:31:14.44
church that are
on some social media.
00:31:14.44\00:31:16.91
They streamed on their Facebook.
00:31:16.91\00:31:18.51
They streamed
on their platforms.
00:31:18.61\00:31:20.68
So this is a multiplied effort.
00:31:21.14\00:31:23.68
But Hope Channel Inter
America also entered into the
00:31:24.75\00:31:31.09
broadcasting of it and on their
social media platforms as well.
00:31:31.09\00:31:34.42
But 3ABN Latino, the Lord has
blessed us with over 1,300 cable
00:31:34.89\00:31:38.83
companies.
00:31:38.83\00:31:44.50
And of course, we're on some
streaming services as well that
00:31:44.50\00:31:44.53
even we call it Britain.
00:31:47.90\00:31:50.11
Freeview.
00:31:51.41\00:31:52.37
Yes, Freeview, which in the
United Kingdom, massive coverage
00:31:52.77\00:31:58.65
now that we will not know in
this earth the results of this
00:31:58.65\00:32:03.99
campaign. But every year
there are about 5 ,000 people
00:32:04.39\00:32:09.42
baptized. And just before coming
on this program, I asked Pastor
00:32:09.79\00:32:14.86
Lopez, Ogle Lopez, Pastor, I
need those numbers because he
said, he told me last
00:32:14.86\00:32:20.07
week, we're going to get
the numbers this afternoon.
00:32:20.07\00:32:21.64
Last week he said this, but
today he says we still don't
00:32:21.70\00:32:24.64
have them all.
00:32:24.64\00:32:30.35
Chiapas union.
00:32:30.35\00:32:31.11
They have about 3,000.
00:32:31.35\00:32:32.88
So there are still
four other unions to report.
00:32:33.92\00:32:37.42
So this year it's
going to surpass the 5,000.
00:32:37.59\00:32:40.62
And we praise the Lord for that.
00:32:40.66\00:32:42.46
That 3ABN was so part of it.
00:32:42.62\00:32:43.76
And that was the hosting union.
00:32:43.76\00:32:46.80
We were at the Chiapas union.
00:32:47.03\00:32:48.13
That's where we were.
00:32:48.33\00:32:48.93
They had 3,000 plus baptisms.
00:32:49.36\00:32:50.80
Yes.
00:32:51.00\00:32:51.27
Amazing.
00:32:51.27\00:32:51.43
Praise God.
00:32:51.67\00:32:52.47
Now this is done like
a virtual type of thing.
00:32:52.63\00:32:57.21
And so the auditorium was at the
union and it has the capacity
00:32:57.37\00:33:01.81
for about 200 people.
00:33:01.81\00:33:02.78
Okay.
00:33:02.84\00:33:03.14
Yeah.
00:33:03.31\00:33:06.15
So do you want to
talk about the other sites?
00:33:06.18\00:33:07.78
Now we have pictures.
00:33:07.85\00:33:08.58
Oh, yes, pictures.
00:33:08.95\00:33:09.85
And it's interesting
how the Lord has blessed.
00:33:09.98\00:33:12.55
When we invest in ministry,
we take a step of faith.
00:33:13.25\00:33:18.29
Lord, we are dedicating this
dollar, this $5, this $1,000.
00:33:18.73\00:33:23.67
You do as you see fit.
00:33:23.93\00:33:25.60
We're not dictating.
00:33:26.10\00:33:27.54
No, that money has
to do this or that.
00:33:27.70\00:33:29.47
But God has a plan.
00:33:29.74\00:33:31.31
And many times people say, oh,
I'd like to learn to do Bible
00:33:31.91\00:33:37.11
studies, which is wonderful.
00:33:37.11\00:33:37.15
But I'd like to go to that
country, but I don't speak the
00:33:38.85\00:33:42.18
language. But when they invest
in ministry, we're a team.
00:33:42.18\00:33:45.62
And so we want to thank publicly
all the supporters of 3ABS,
00:33:45.69\00:33:50.63
because there are thousands
and thousands of souls that have
00:33:50.63\00:33:54.50
learned of Jesus.
00:33:54.50\00:34:00.77
to develop a relationship
with Him and accept Him as their
00:34:00.77\00:34:03.97
Savior. So you see these
pictures, people in parking lots
00:34:04.07\00:34:09.28
watching the services, the
campaign, hospitals in their
parking lots, they would
00:34:09.28\00:34:15.02
put a panel up and they would
project in the parking lot, in
00:34:15.02\00:34:19.82
hospitals.
00:34:19.82\00:34:20.59
They would just see the
employees being able to watch it
00:34:21.19\00:34:26.06
and visitors of those hospitals.
00:34:26.06\00:34:27.00
There are churches where
you'll see the simple benches.
00:34:27.50\00:34:31.67
Oh, I love that.
00:34:33.27\00:34:34.27
This one is in the auditorium.
00:34:34.27\00:34:35.80
Where we were.
00:34:35.90\00:34:36.37
Yes.
00:34:36.60\00:34:37.07
This is where I'd lunch.
00:34:37.17\00:34:38.31
So every night, there were
different churches present.
00:34:38.31\00:34:42.88
Now, this is one of those simple
benches that you see, but they
00:34:43.14\00:34:47.02
were there tuning in.
00:34:47.02\00:34:48.05
This is a shopping center.
00:34:48.12\00:34:49.62
Outside.
00:34:50.15\00:34:50.42
So they broadcast it there.
00:34:51.29\00:34:52.62
Exactly.
00:34:52.89\00:34:59.13
people in homes.
00:34:59.13\00:35:00.40
Wow, where's that?
00:35:01.46\00:35:02.40
This is another
place, like a public park.
00:35:02.40\00:35:02.43
A park.
00:35:05.00\00:35:05.27
Yes, a park.
00:35:05.40\00:35:06.17
That's right.
00:35:06.40\00:35:06.90
It just had a
big screen out there.
00:35:07.54\00:35:09.20
Yes, it had a big screen.
00:35:09.34\00:35:10.41
And this is a smaller church,
but there, again, the people are
00:35:10.57\00:35:14.08
watching.
00:35:14.08\00:35:14.61
And so this was a
huge, huge event for them.
00:35:15.08\00:35:17.75
Is this another home?
00:35:18.61\00:35:19.55
Okay.
00:35:20.15\00:35:20.58
That's right.
00:35:21.22\00:35:23.05
And even people, yes, they were.
00:35:23.35\00:35:24.79
And even, you know, as you see
the security guard, of course,
00:35:25.42\00:35:30.46
they're working, but
they've been ministered to.
00:35:30.46\00:35:33.80
They were told watch and they
were watching on their phones.
00:35:33.83\00:35:36.83
That's right.
00:35:36.83\00:35:37.93
And this out in the
country, say, simple families.
00:35:38.30\00:35:41.47
inviting the neighbors.
00:35:41.74\00:35:42.50
But this is technology
that unites us, you see.
00:35:42.80\00:35:46.27
So people open their
homes to their small groups.
00:35:46.64\00:35:49.44
It didn't matter and whether
it's a comfortable place or not
00:35:49.78\00:35:53.58
as comfortable, but people were
tuning in and they say, we don't
00:35:53.58\00:35:57.19
want to miss this.
00:35:57.19\00:35:57.89
So the Shabbat's union
is one of the most active.
00:35:58.19\00:36:01.06
This is baptism.
00:36:01.06\00:36:01.92
This is baptism.
00:36:02.02\00:36:03.22
And this is what it's all about.
00:36:03.26\00:36:04.66
Sure is.
00:36:04.69\00:36:05.29
Wow.
00:36:06.03\00:36:06.49
Praise God for that.
00:36:06.90\00:36:08.06
A tremendous, tremendous
opportunity to present the
00:36:08.26\00:36:13.03
gospel. You know, when you think
about the Hope Channel,
Interamerica, Spanish
00:36:13.60\00:36:16.34
channel, they were broadcasting.
00:36:16.34\00:36:17.84
I don't know how many cable
companies and TV channels they
00:36:17.97\00:36:20.44
have.
00:36:20.44\00:36:24.21
about 35 3ABN Latino down links
that are 3ABN down links that
00:36:24.21\00:36:29.68
are doing.
00:36:29.68\00:36:29.88
Then there are all 3ABN.
00:36:30.25\00:36:31.52
Also, you know, we
have a strong tower.
00:36:31.69\00:36:35.12
They have a TV station
and 3ABN Latinos on there.
00:36:35.42\00:36:37.79
So it's a massive amount of
people that were being reached
00:36:38.09\00:36:43.50
with this evangelistic campaign.
00:36:43.50\00:36:44.27
We also have another video.
00:36:45.27\00:36:47.47
Oh, we have a video.
00:36:47.97\00:36:48.67
We didn't show the video yet.
00:36:48.80\00:36:49.70
Well, okay.
00:36:51.64\00:36:52.14
What is it about the video?
00:36:52.54\00:36:53.84
Well, the first part
of the video it has audio.
00:36:54.04\00:36:56.85
So we're going to be
quiet during that part.
00:36:56.95\00:36:58.75
And you'll see the intro
for the evangelistic campaign.
00:36:58.78\00:37:01.32
And then you hear
part of the singing.
00:37:01.32\00:37:03.15
And then we will start
talking about the rest of it.
00:37:03.69\00:37:05.92
Okay, let's go to
that role right now.
00:37:06.12\00:37:08.06
Amen,
00:37:39.82\00:37:40.79
amen.
00:37:54.97\00:37:58.77
campaign to introduce singing,
but also the prayer for the
00:37:58.77\00:38:05.18
night. They had different
union presidents coming in every
00:38:05.68\00:38:09.68
night. And this is the speaker.
00:38:10.09\00:38:11.39
That is right.
00:38:11.99\00:38:13.69
Pastor Orso Luis Orozco.
00:38:14.16\00:38:16.46
And he is young, dynamic and
a lot of young people appreciate
00:38:16.86\00:38:24.63
him. He and his wife and his
two children are in ministry.
00:38:25.03\00:38:28.34
What I admired was that he would
ask one of his family members to
00:38:28.47\00:38:33.11
go up to the platform and pray.
00:38:33.11\00:38:35.08
And their son, little son says,
Papi, that I want to pray with
00:38:35.24\00:38:41.52
you in the campaigns.
00:38:41.52\00:38:42.65
So he sees it's important
to involve your family.
00:38:42.65\00:38:42.68
So his son, his daughter, his
wife would go up and the Lord
00:38:46.29\00:38:50.89
used him. As you can see, he
did altar calls every night and
00:38:50.89\00:38:55.30
people responded not only
locally, but also right there in
the auditorium, but people
00:38:55.30\00:38:59.80
in their homes, in their
churches, he would say, come,
00:38:59.80\00:39:04.31
come, go forward.
00:39:04.31\00:39:08.58
So we had the baptisms every
night and it was a privilege for
00:39:08.78\00:39:15.18
us to be able to
meet these people.
00:39:15.18\00:39:16.38
When they say we grew up
watching you and now they're
00:39:17.12\00:39:20.79
parents and now they're working.
00:39:20.79\00:39:21.52
And some said, you know, I never
imagined that my dream would
00:39:22.09\00:39:26.19
come true to work
with 3ABN Latinos.
00:39:26.19\00:39:28.83
So it was encouraging to
see these young professionals
00:39:28.93\00:39:33.77
investing their talents in time
and giving it back to the Lord
00:39:33.77\00:39:37.31
in service. So this was an
admirable project because it
consisted of all of the
00:39:37.61\00:39:44.35
media teams from all of the
conferences, all of the unions
00:39:44.35\00:39:49.25
is not just the team.
00:39:49.25\00:39:50.52
OK, so the Chiapas Union team,
production team is doing this
00:39:50.65\00:39:54.92
now. It's all of them from
all the conferences and unions
00:39:55.06\00:39:59.76
inside United effort.
00:39:59.76\00:40:01.30
And in unity, their strength.
00:40:01.30\00:40:03.80
They support each other.
00:40:04.10\00:40:05.50
They did an outstanding job and
just praise God, praise God for
00:40:05.70\00:40:10.84
that opportunity.
00:40:10.84\00:40:11.64
Sorry, what a privilege for 3ABN
Latino and the Hope Channel and
00:40:13.17\00:40:18.48
all the conferences to work
together in the broadcast of the
00:40:18.48\00:40:23.05
gospel. With all the cable
stations and all the down links
00:40:23.39\00:40:27.29
3ABN has the 3ABN Latino, we can
broadcast the gospel and with
everything Hope Channel
00:40:27.29\00:40:30.96
has, they can broadcast
the gospel and we can do it
00:40:30.96\00:40:34.56
simultaneously. Yes,
we bombarded the country.
00:40:34.76\00:40:36.56
I love that.
00:40:37.17\00:40:37.70
Sorry, Patron.
00:40:38.03\00:40:38.83
That's a good bombardment.
00:40:38.90\00:40:40.17
Yes, so from a national effort
became an international campaign
00:40:40.60\00:40:45.31
through the Hope
Channel and 3ABN.
00:40:45.31\00:40:47.68
I want to say the singer that
was heard, she grew up watching
00:40:48.18\00:40:55.42
3ABN Latino and when she
saw us, oh, we're feeling old.
00:40:55.42\00:41:00.12
But what an impression though.
00:41:01.99\00:41:04.23
Yes, absolutely.
00:41:04.79\00:41:05.39
She had a beautiful voice.
00:41:05.39\00:41:05.93
Yes, beautiful voice.
00:41:06.16\00:41:07.13
Yes, and the music was anointed
and they're willing to come and
00:41:07.50\00:41:13.30
help here in 3ABN to collaborate
with the music department in
00:41:13.30\00:41:18.64
whatever functions.
00:41:18.64\00:41:19.57
But I want to say that you never
know what impact we're causing
00:41:19.94\00:41:23.98
in the homes.
00:41:23.98\00:41:24.61
We're going forward by faith.
00:41:24.68\00:41:26.28
We serve here.
00:41:26.31\00:41:27.22
There's a list of jobs to do.
00:41:27.45\00:41:28.92
We have to feed the
big appetite of a channel.
00:41:28.92\00:41:32.92
That's right, 24-7.
00:41:33.15\00:41:34.16
So you have to feed it
and you have to feed it.
00:41:34.19\00:41:36.12
And you pray, Lord, may this
not be just another project.
00:41:36.39\00:41:40.50
May this be anointed.
00:41:40.60\00:41:42.10
May the viewers that join us
in prayer keep praying for the
00:41:42.60\00:41:46.63
content of the programs
because a television station can
00:41:46.63\00:41:50.41
entertain, but
we have to minister.
00:41:50.87\00:41:51.87
There's so many needs out there.
00:41:51.91\00:41:54.14
From the smallest, I just had
a call today, a 21-year-old from
00:41:54.51\00:41:58.71
Chiapas who lives here.
00:41:58.71\00:42:00.28
And she says, I'm
having such a hard time.
00:42:00.52\00:42:02.42
My parents are not at Venice,
but I grew up watching 3ABN
00:42:02.58\00:42:06.79
Latino. I'm now in the States.
00:42:07.19\00:42:08.36
My father's here.
00:42:08.69\00:42:09.89
And I just want to tell you that
my father just accepted to start
00:42:10.09\00:42:13.66
La Fe de Jesus, the
Bible studies with her.
00:42:13.66\00:42:17.00
They were shunning her out,
but she's like, you guys are a
00:42:18.30\00:42:23.24
lifeline for us.
00:42:23.24\00:42:23.74
So please pray for me.
00:42:23.94\00:42:25.44
So just as she is, crying
out for that spiritual support,
00:42:25.64\00:42:31.18
there are many others.
00:42:31.18\00:42:35.85
needs of the people.
00:42:35.85\00:42:36.85
That's right.
00:42:37.05\00:42:37.72
This evangelistic campaign, it
was called Jesus is Sufficient.
00:42:38.29\00:42:41.99
Jesus is Sufficient.
00:42:42.62\00:42:43.29
Right, Jesus is Sufficient.
00:42:43.39\00:42:48.96
talk about that.
00:42:48.96\00:42:49.83
This evangelistic campaign seems
to have united the country in
00:42:50.20\00:42:54.14
evangelism.
00:42:54.14\00:42:54.67
Yes.
00:42:54.67\00:42:55.04
Unlike ever before.
00:42:55.20\00:42:56.40
And they're having
another one next year.
00:42:56.40\00:42:58.51
They already started talking
about can 3ABN join us as well?
00:42:58.57\00:43:02.54
So praise the Lord
for this opportunity.
00:43:03.01\00:43:05.11
And we want to just praise the
Lord that there's a story that I
00:43:05.25\00:43:11.55
think Idalia will tell.
00:43:11.55\00:43:12.45
There was a man that heard
about that, that he wanted to
00:43:12.92\00:43:16.89
participate and he was
helping people find 3ABN.
00:43:16.89\00:43:20.80
Well, yes, this is Jose Augusto.
00:43:21.70\00:43:24.30
He is from the South Chiapas
Conference district of Villa
00:43:24.30\00:43:28.67
Comaltitlan.
00:43:28.67\00:43:30.04
Yes, he's
holding up Dios Te Ama.
00:43:30.14\00:43:32.74
And that means God loves you.
00:43:33.34\00:43:34.98
And that's his wife at that.
00:43:34.98\00:43:35.88
And what it is is that he was
very active in missions and he
00:43:36.88\00:43:43.05
loved 3ABN Latino.
00:43:43.05\00:43:44.05
He loved it.
00:43:44.32\00:43:51.59
say, tuning to 3ABN Latino and
he would tell every door, where
00:43:51.59\00:43:56.80
the channel, what to watch.
00:43:56.80\00:43:58.07
So for the series, he went
door-to -door and those people
00:43:58.37\00:44:02.84
that were in contact, his
contacts that are doing Bible
studies, he wanted to
00:44:02.84\00:44:06.84
make sure that
they were watching.
00:44:06.84\00:44:08.21
So when he got to the door and
he could hear 3ABN was already
00:44:09.74\00:44:15.95
on in their living rooms.
00:44:15.95\00:44:16.79
So, I mean, it gives me
goosebumps because he was, and I
00:44:17.85\00:44:22.12
say was, because after he made
the efforts and went
door-to-door and people
00:44:22.12\00:44:27.83
were tuning in and all,
unfortunately, he had an
00:44:27.83\00:44:31.13
accident in his job and he died
electrocuted and he did not make
00:44:31.13\00:44:37.64
it to the rest of the meetings.
00:44:37.64\00:44:38.44
But people not today still
are saying he loved 3ABN Latino.
00:44:38.87\00:44:44.51
He used it as a tool to witness
for people and Jesus is coming
00:44:44.78\00:44:50.42
soon and he invested.
00:44:50.42\00:44:54.86
funeral, they were talking about
the conference, tuning in the
00:44:54.86\00:44:59.06
conference and still saying,
you know, Jesus is coming soon.
00:44:59.06\00:45:02.73
What are we doing with our time?
00:45:03.23\00:45:04.60
Let's invest it and he invested
it by inviting people to tuning
00:45:04.73\00:45:08.87
in because salvation is today.
00:45:08.87\00:45:10.87
Today is the Day of Salvation.
00:45:11.04\00:45:12.47
So this man was being...
00:45:12.67\00:45:14.11
What a story.
00:45:14.11\00:45:14.64
Yes, yes.
00:45:14.98\00:45:15.74
What a testimony, true.
00:45:15.74\00:45:16.98
We lift up the family in prayer
and invite you at home to pray
00:45:17.45\00:45:22.38
for his wife and children and
the family they're left behind.
00:45:22.38\00:45:25.49
It was tremendous to consider
that to the very last day of his
00:45:25.89\00:45:30.73
life, he was doing evangelism,
helping people find, you know,
00:45:30.79\00:45:35.33
this evangelistic
campaign and tuning 3ABN.
00:45:35.33\00:45:37.40
So praise the Lord.
00:45:37.47\00:45:38.20
It's amazing.
00:45:38.47\00:45:39.13
You know, we were also...
00:45:40.57\00:45:42.24
Brother Randy Bermejo went
with us and he was managing the
00:45:43.07\00:45:46.81
streaming to directly come to
3ABN master control so that it
00:45:46.81\00:45:52.38
could go out to
the other outlets.
00:45:52.38\00:45:54.12
So we're grateful
for Brother Randy.
00:45:54.75\00:45:56.42
Tremendous,
tremendous worker for the Lord.
00:45:57.19\00:45:58.82
We have another video
we can go to that quick.
00:45:59.39\00:46:01.42
If it's okay with you.
00:46:01.76\00:46:02.52
It's about a minute
and a half, I think.
00:46:02.62\00:46:03.76
Yeah, let's do that.
00:46:03.79\00:46:04.43
So this is
Idalia's interviewing.
00:46:06.29\00:46:08.63
Tell us who you were
interviewing, Idalia.
00:46:08.93\00:46:10.40
He's the speaker of this series.
00:46:10.60\00:46:12.80
And, you know, it's amazing that
he also watched 3ABN Latino when
00:46:13.37\00:46:18.81
he was a child.
00:46:18.81\00:46:19.54
And his mother would make
it, you know, tune in and his
00:46:22.44\00:46:27.28
children are watching.
00:46:27.28\00:46:33.19
generations are
welcome to watch.
00:46:33.19\00:46:34.76
So I had the opportunity to
interview the president of the
00:46:35.39\00:46:39.53
Chiapas Union.
00:46:39.53\00:46:40.33
That's Pastor Ignacio Navarro.
00:46:40.33\00:46:42.30
The things work
differently in Mexico.
00:46:42.50\00:46:44.60
He is also the president of the
Seventh-day Adventist Church for
00:46:45.53\00:46:49.64
the whole nation, because the
government of Mexico recognizes
00:46:49.64\00:46:53.74
only one leader for the nation,
all the other union presidents.
00:46:53.74\00:46:58.01
They basically acknowledge
him as the president.
00:46:58.51\00:47:01.58
And this was a department
or a service that was offered.
00:47:02.75\00:47:05.82
Mexico has the church has a
service as a channel that serves
00:47:06.65\00:47:11.46
to the people that are deaf.
00:47:11.46\00:47:12.49
So this is sign
language, the hearing impaired.
00:47:12.49\00:47:14.56
What was interesting here is
that these two young men, they
00:47:15.06\00:47:19.57
don't have any
families that need this service.
00:47:19.57\00:47:21.97
But the Lord placed that as
their ministry and they studied
00:47:22.30\00:47:28.41
Mexican, Spanish sign language.
00:47:28.91\00:47:30.81
I didn't realize that
every country has their own.
00:47:31.11\00:47:34.42
I had no idea.
00:47:34.92\00:47:36.15
Yes, there is an international
general sign language, but for
00:47:37.32\00:47:43.49
the Mexican language, which is
Spanish, there are some words in
00:47:43.49\00:47:49.13
Mexico that I don't understand.
00:47:49.13\00:47:50.13
I speak Spanish, but
I'm from Puerto Rico.
00:47:50.20\00:47:52.40
Right.
00:47:52.77\00:47:54.37
So there are some terms,
but anyway, they dedicated to be
00:47:54.60\00:48:00.58
there to
interpret in sign language.
00:48:00.58\00:48:02.94
So everybody was able to.
00:48:03.48\00:48:05.48
There was a separate channel
for the hearing impaired.
00:48:05.48\00:48:07.88
Normally they're in a little
box doing their sign language.
00:48:08.15\00:48:13.05
This time it was a...
00:48:13.25\00:48:14.72
They had their own channel.
00:48:14.72\00:48:15.52
Their own channel.
00:48:15.52\00:48:16.26
From waist up, you could see.
00:48:17.23\00:48:18.89
They were the speakers.
00:48:19.66\00:48:20.63
Yes, and there was a little box
for the evangelistic campaign
00:48:21.03\00:48:24.53
that you could see.
00:48:24.53\00:48:25.03
So it was a different
experience for the hearing.
00:48:25.93\00:48:28.47
And what I learned is that when
you put it in the little circle,
00:48:28.54\00:48:32.91
it's hard to see.
00:48:32.91\00:48:33.94
They say what we learn and when
we study this is that it's a
00:48:35.04\00:48:39.25
small circle on the side, but
that is a ministry in itself.
00:48:39.25\00:48:41.85
So for the hearing
impaired, that is a service.
00:48:42.08\00:48:44.65
Thank you both for going there.
00:48:44.65\00:48:46.45
And thank you again for your
leadership with 3ABN Latino.
00:48:46.82\00:48:49.16
I mean, you think about the
channel, the network, all these
00:48:49.42\00:48:52.03
years and the impact.
00:48:52.03\00:48:53.23
And like you're saying, these
little kids we're watching now
00:48:53.29\00:48:55.70
they're grown adults,
their own kids and evangelists.
00:48:55.70\00:48:58.63
How neat is that, right?
00:48:58.83\00:49:00.77
And the impact again
of 3ABN, 3ABN Latino.
00:49:00.80\00:49:04.04
But thank you both
for your leadership.
00:49:04.21\00:49:05.41
I'd like to talk about
Cuba also, both of you, because
00:49:05.87\00:49:09.34
that's again another exciting
project at 3ABN and 3ABN Latino
00:49:09.34\00:49:13.88
has been involved in.
00:49:13.88\00:49:17.25
Tell us about this
really neat aspect of Cuba.
00:49:17.25\00:49:19.85
This is a wonderful opportunity
to help spread the gospel in
00:49:20.19\00:49:25.46
Cuba. Now, many of you are
already helping with the weekly
00:49:26.03\00:49:31.27
TV package, which we still have
to pay a monthly fee for that.
00:49:31.33\00:49:33.77
That is still going strong.
00:49:34.00\00:49:35.44
Praise the Lord.
00:49:35.80\00:49:36.50
But this is another
ministry opportunity.
00:49:36.87\00:49:38.87
This is a Bible.
00:49:39.17\00:49:40.24
And this is a Bible that we,
3ABN administration has approved
00:49:40.68\00:49:49.85
to send Bibles to Cuba.
00:49:49.85\00:49:50.62
That's right.
00:49:50.92\00:49:51.62
This is a
marvelous, marvelous project.
00:49:51.82\00:49:54.29
Bibles for Cuba.
00:49:54.82\00:49:55.96
And it is an opportunity that is
coming at a time of great need
00:49:56.12\00:50:00.60
in Cuba.
00:50:00.60\00:50:00.86
That's right.
00:50:01.10\00:50:03.73
About a month or so ago, I came
from there and I can tell you
00:50:04.63\00:50:07.37
there is a great need.
00:50:07.37\00:50:08.84
People are going through
very difficult times in Cuba.
00:50:08.90\00:50:11.67
All over the world.
00:50:11.97\00:50:12.97
In Cuba, they're going
to very difficult times.
00:50:12.97\00:50:15.24
And I was talking to the
director of the Cuban Bible
00:50:15.68\00:50:21.85
Society. They're very happy
that 3ABN has decided to do this
00:50:22.52\00:50:28.29
project. And he said,
there is a great need.
00:50:28.66\00:50:30.96
And he said, I can tell
you because we have been having
00:50:31.03\00:50:35.73
events. There's a Cuban Bible
Society, by the way, I mentioned
00:50:36.77\00:50:39.30
that. And they went somewhere
and they started offering free
00:50:39.53\00:50:44.51
Bibles. There was a
long line of people.
00:50:45.04\00:50:47.98
And he said, over and over
again, we see confirmation that
00:50:47.98\00:50:52.91
people need Jesus.
00:50:52.91\00:50:54.62
The other things that are in
the country, the secular things,
00:50:55.15\00:51:01.62
that does not change lives.
00:51:01.62\00:51:02.79
And they feel like there's
a need to search for the Lord.
00:51:02.79\00:51:07.23
So 3ABN, thank you.
00:51:07.93\00:51:09.70
Our goal is 15,000, I'm going to
say at least, 15,000 Bibles to
00:51:10.27\00:51:16.07
send to Cuba.
00:51:16.07\00:51:16.57
And we've researched it.
00:51:16.94\00:51:18.67
And, you know, in talking
to them and researching Bibles,
00:51:19.01\00:51:22.51
I've learned some things.
00:51:22.51\00:51:23.48
And we were looking at another
Bible and it had a shiny cover.
00:51:23.75\00:51:27.52
It looked nice
and it was wonderful.
00:51:27.58\00:51:29.75
But this Bible that I was
looking at, it was not as good
00:51:30.25\00:51:36.36
as quality as this Bible.
00:51:36.36\00:51:37.39
The other Bible I'm talking
about because I noticed that the
00:51:37.69\00:51:42.10
other Bible was just
glued on to the cover.
00:51:42.10\00:51:45.07
A better Bible, longer lasting
Bible is sewn together and then
00:51:46.20\00:51:52.54
glued to the cover.
00:51:52.54\00:51:53.74
This is a higher quality Bible.
00:51:53.91\00:51:56.08
It will last a long time.
00:51:56.14\00:51:57.61
In addition to that, this Bible,
a lot of these Bibles that are
00:51:58.35\00:52:04.79
just glued,
they're just glued on.
00:52:04.79\00:52:07.12
But these Bibles are, it's a
group of pages sewn together and
00:52:07.12\00:52:13.13
then sewn together
to many other groups.
00:52:13.13\00:52:14.83
So it should last a long time.
00:52:15.83\00:52:17.13
So it lasts a long time.
00:52:17.13\00:52:18.60
So good quality Bible and it's
amazing about three dollars per
00:52:19.33\00:52:23.64
Bible.
00:52:23.64\00:52:26.57
I mean, this is
behind the scenes.
00:52:26.61\00:52:27.68
You're kind of in on our
three of in living room here.
00:52:27.78\00:52:30.15
So let's, you're kind of maybe
in a little business session.
00:52:30.51\00:52:32.61
Pastor Johnnie, you
said 15,000 Bibles, right?
00:52:33.55\00:52:36.02
But just as we're starting this
program, you said for a full
00:52:36.02\00:52:39.02
container, those containers that
go across the ocean, how many
00:52:39.02\00:52:41.46
Bibles will fit in a
container to fill it up?
00:52:41.46\00:52:42.86
If we order 15,000 Bibles, they
have to put it in a 20 foot.
00:52:43.49\00:52:47.66
But how many
Bibles will fit in that?
00:52:47.96\00:52:50.13
20,000 Bibles.
00:52:50.20\00:52:51.17
See, OK, so this is OK, this is
our little business thing here.
00:52:51.47\00:52:54.14
So a business
session here, right?
00:52:54.24\00:52:55.57
So, you know, what I think we
need to do then actually is that
00:52:55.64\00:52:57.84
instead of the 15,000 that we're
just talking about, why don't we
00:52:57.84\00:53:00.81
just go forward and let's just
do the 20 ,000 Bibles to fill up
00:53:00.81\00:53:03.24
the container.
00:53:03.24\00:53:05.51
So, I mean, I know we don't have
the funds for that, you know,
00:53:05.98\00:53:08.95
yet, but I know we're just
telling you about this, too.
00:53:09.12\00:53:10.79
You're kind of
sitting in on this.
00:53:10.79\00:53:11.89
So about three dollars times
another five thousand, it's like
00:53:12.09\00:53:14.66
another 15,000 or so for
the extra five thousand Bibles.
00:53:14.66\00:53:18.89
Yes.
00:53:19.23\00:53:22.60
because we talked about this.
00:53:22.60\00:53:26.20
to Cuba.
00:53:26.20\00:53:26.57
Yes, absolutely.
00:53:26.63\00:53:27.57
And so that takes a
few more thousand dollars.
00:53:27.67\00:53:29.17
But if you are feeling impressed
this evening, we're just talking
00:53:29.20\00:53:31.31
about this here.
00:53:31.31\00:53:34.84
all right?
00:53:34.88\00:53:35.28
Praise the Lord!
00:53:35.28\00:53:35.31
forward by faith.
00:53:39.35\00:53:43.45
Bibles.
00:53:43.45\00:53:44.05
So we just upped that, babe.
00:53:44.12\00:53:44.69
Is that all right?
00:53:44.79\00:53:45.25
We just upped it.
00:53:45.25\00:53:45.52
That's wonderful.
00:53:45.75\00:53:46.82
So you can call us right now and
donate and support this project.
00:53:47.02\00:53:51.26
The fund code is 309,
that's Bibles for Cuba.
00:53:51.56\00:53:55.70
Call us at 618-627-4651.
00:53:56.33\00:54:00.30
That number is 618-627-4651 and
just say, yes, I want to get on
00:54:00.47\00:54:06.24
board and help sponsor 20,000
Spanish Bibles going directly to
00:54:06.24\00:54:11.78
Cuba.
00:54:11.78\00:54:12.41
They will be given
out to the people there.
00:54:12.78\00:54:15.55
We're sharing some with the
Cuban Bible Society, some with
00:54:15.98\00:54:19.85
the church and then some people
who watch 3ABN on the package
00:54:19.85\00:54:24.06
will be contacting us and will
be giving those Bibles away for
00:54:24.06\00:54:27.36
free. So you can go online as
well, 3ABN .tv and you click on
00:54:27.66\00:54:33.34
the donate tab at the top,
scroll down to code 309, that's
Bibles for Cuba and you
00:54:33.34\00:54:40.94
can donate that way as well.
00:54:40.94\00:54:42.14
You know, we don't usually just
throw around specific numbers.
00:54:42.38\00:54:44.61
You know, you've been a
part of 3ABN for about 40 years
00:54:44.95\00:54:47.88
yourself, Pastor John Ape, and
you know, of course, but we
just, you know, this
00:54:48.12\00:54:51.12
evening we need about an
additional $20,000, I think
00:54:51.12\00:54:54.19
about it because we had almost
enough to do the 15 ,000 Bibles
but to make it 20,000
00:54:54.19\00:54:58.06
Bibles, we need probably about
an additional $20,000 or so.
00:54:58.06\00:55:01.46
So I know that's not a problem.
00:55:01.46\00:55:02.96
The Lord has that
all taken care of.
00:55:02.96\00:55:04.57
So I'm excited about these
Bibles going to Cuba for such a
00:55:04.73\00:55:08.54
time as this.
00:55:08.54\00:55:11.67
God.
00:55:11.67\00:55:11.87
Yes.
00:55:12.11\00:55:16.54
last a long time.
00:55:16.54\00:55:17.55
They do.
00:55:17.58\00:55:23.25
was there on Saturday and I was
taking a look at Bibles and the
00:55:23.25\00:55:29.82
gentleman behind me, he had a
Bible, but his Bible was stapled
00:55:29.82\00:55:33.70
together.

I'm not saying everybody
has Bibles stapled together, but
00:55:35.10\00:55:38.23
even among the Church members,
there's a need for Bibles.
00:55:38.23\00:55:40.34
We're going to be
giving these Bibles away.
00:55:40.37\00:55:41.84
And yes, we're going to
be giving these Bibles away.
00:55:41.87\00:55:43.67
These are not going to be sold.
00:55:43.77\00:55:44.84
And so actually, and we want to
print that inside that it says
00:55:45.01\00:55:48.41
this, these Bibles are
to be given away freely.
00:55:48.41\00:55:51.38
So nothing will be sold.
00:55:51.85\00:55:53.52
Thank you for your
vision with this project.
00:55:53.82\00:55:55.62
Yes, really appreciate it.
00:55:55.95\00:55:57.52
God's work is moving, growing
and going and moving forward.
00:55:59.69\00:56:03.56
Praise the Lord for that.
00:56:03.66\00:56:04.76
Thank you, Pastor
Johnny and Mrs. Denzi.
00:56:05.03\00:56:07.23
I love you both.
00:56:07.40\00:56:09.03
We're grateful for your
leadership with Freebie and
00:56:09.03\00:56:11.90
Latina. Great job.
00:56:11.90\00:56:11.93
because we're still being
broadcast through people getting
00:56:16.97\00:56:20.74
the hard drive and getting the
Freebie and Latino programming
00:56:20.74\00:56:24.45
in their own home and
sharing it in their community.
00:56:24.45\00:56:27.25
So thank you both.
00:56:27.45\00:56:28.52
And Jeff, we love you as
well and your wife, Charlotte.
00:56:28.65\00:56:31.72
Just so grateful for your
leadership with our planned
00:56:32.09\00:56:35.72
giving department
and what you both do.
00:56:35.72\00:56:38.36
Praise the Lord.
00:56:38.69\00:56:39.13
Absolutely.
00:56:39.49\00:56:39.83
That's God.
00:56:39.89\00:56:40.26
It is.
00:56:40.46\00:56:40.80
You know, and one
other thing real quick.
00:56:41.40\00:56:42.93
If you have an IRA and you need
to take and make a donation or
00:56:43.26\00:56:47.17
you need to make a withdrawal of
your IRA, you need to contact us
00:56:47.17\00:56:50.74
because there's two different
ways you can do it and not pay
00:56:50.74\00:56:54.61
any taxes on that for your
capital gain that you've got on
00:56:54.61\00:56:58.48
your IRA. You can go from your
IRA to your Charitable Wealth
00:56:58.48\00:57:03.02
