In 1984, God impressed Danny
Shelton to build a television
00:00:01.13\00:00:05.77
station that would one
day reach the world with the
00:00:05.77\00:00:09.14
undiluted Three Angels
messages of Revelation 14.
00:00:09.14\00:00:12.31
With no degree or experience in
television, Danny moved forward
00:00:12.77\00:00:16.51
in faith with the ideas that
would soon ignite into flames
00:00:16.51\00:00:20.55
of revival.
00:00:20.55\00:00:35.20
there for I too fail And when
I see his heart breaking from
00:00:35.20\00:00:52.41
a wrong turn he's taking let me
be there, for I remember well.
00:00:54.68\00:01:00.99
I want to spend my
life mending broken people.
00:01:08.10\00:01:17.97
I want to spend my life removing
pain, Lord let my words heal a
00:01:18.61\00:01:23.38
heart that hurts I want to spend
my life mending broken people.
00:01:40.20\00:01:47.14
I want to spend my
life mending broken people.
00:01:50.91\00:01:55.31
We're so glad you've joined
us for a special look at the
00:02:00.42\00:02:03.79
miracles that brought Three
Angels Broadcasting Network
00:02:03.79\00:02:06.82
into existence, along with
the look forward to an exciting
00:02:06.82\00:02:10.43
future as we shine the light
of the gospel into every dark
00:02:10.43\00:02:14.20
corner of this world.
00:02:14.20\00:02:15.26
You're watching 3ABN's
40th anniversary special.
00:02:15.60\00:02:19.53
Hello and welcome to
3ABN's special 40th anniversary
00:02:21.87\00:02:26.27
program.
00:02:26.27\00:02:27.18
What a blessing to be
here this evening with you.
00:02:27.31\00:02:29.98
We are here of course
celebrating 3ABN's 40th year,
00:02:30.21\00:02:33.52
but we're here to give honor
and glory to the Lord Jesus
00:02:33.55\00:02:37.19
Christ and also to thank
him for his faithfulness through
00:02:37.19\00:02:40.89
all the years.
00:02:40.89\00:02:42.09
It's hard to believe you
know Mr. Danny, Dr. Yvonne, Jill
00:02:42.09\00:02:42.12
that tonight I think this
is pretty neat because this is
00:02:44.43\00:02:46.66
airing for the
first time obviously.
00:02:46.66\00:02:47.86
It's Thursday Night Live and
it's the 14th of November 2024.
00:02:48.06\00:02:52.83
40 years ago Mr. Danny on
the 14th of November you had the
00:02:53.40\00:02:56.91
impression from the Lord start
a ministry of 3ABN and here we
00:02:56.91\00:03:00.48
are because the faithfulness
of God and of course our
00:03:00.48\00:03:02.91
supporters and viewers 40 years
later going so what a blessing.
00:03:02.91\00:03:07.65
It's amazing to me and all I
can say to anybody watching and
00:03:07.95\00:03:12.42
listening is God will
use us in spite of us.
00:03:12.42\00:03:15.49
It's not what you have to offer
other than yourself and your
00:03:15.99\00:03:19.33
heart but our willingness.
00:03:19.33\00:03:20.83
We always say the blessing
is on the go so when I sit back
00:03:21.46\00:03:24.27
and look at it it's almost like
it's unrealistic because right
00:03:24.27\00:03:29.00
now thinking back where I was
and taking those steps it had to
00:03:29.00\00:03:34.64
been God because I didn't have
that kind of faith and so in
00:03:34.64\00:03:38.25
fact that's probably they
somebody told me once they said
00:03:38.25\00:03:41.72
this kind of ministry is kind of
like the bumblebee that doesn't
00:03:41.72\00:03:44.62
know aerodynamically.
00:03:44.62\00:03:46.32
He's not supposed to be able
to fly but he does anyway but I
00:03:46.49\00:03:50.46
was so sure that it was
the Lord's impressing us to go
00:03:50.46\00:03:54.10
forward that we did and my got
my brother my family and then
00:03:54.10\00:03:58.20
other people started joining
and so 40 years later thanks to
00:03:58.20\00:04:02.50
the Lord and thanks to your all
your management and your great
00:04:02.50\00:04:06.91
I'm going to say calling of God
that thank you for what you all
00:04:07.74\00:04:12.75
do for the cause of God right
now that makes it easier on
00:04:12.75\00:04:16.22
Yvonne and me so we're not
doing all the day-to-day stuff
00:04:16.22\00:04:19.22
but we're happy to be here and
we're traveling and doing been
00:04:19.22\00:04:22.36
able to write books and music
or do whatever and try to help
00:04:22.36\00:04:25.59
where we can but just as surely
as God had called me for this
00:04:25.59\00:04:30.57
He's called each of you and
those of you at home God has
00:04:30.57\00:04:33.64
something special for you each
and every one of us are called
00:04:33.64\00:04:36.64
to do something in
these closing moments of verse
00:04:36.64\00:04:38.87
history.
00:04:38.87\00:04:39.21
Tonight is all about 40 years
of changing lives for eternity.
00:04:40.58\00:04:44.68
That's right.
00:04:44.68\00:04:44.71
before we went live.
00:04:48.35\00:04:49.55
In Psalm 107 I love this
scripture verse 2, Let the
00:04:49.55\00:04:53.89
redeemed of the Lord say so
whom he has redeemed from the
00:04:53.89\00:04:59.19
hand of the enemy.
00:04:59.19\00:05:00.60
And I like to think of the
ministry of 3ABN for 40 years
00:05:01.20\00:05:04.53
plucking as it were people
from the hand of the enemy
00:05:04.53\00:05:07.74
proclaiming the undiluted three
angels messages one that would
00:05:07.74\00:05:11.94
counteract the counterfeit into
a lost and dying world and we
00:05:11.94\00:05:16.48
know that there are people all
over this world people lost and
00:05:16.48\00:05:20.78
alone broken stuck in their
stuff or their addiction that
00:05:20.78\00:05:25.79
the Lord Jesus reaches down
through the ministry of 3ABN.
00:05:25.79\00:05:30.96
When they flip a channel
or when they turn on the radio
00:05:31.36\00:05:34.66
dial they discover
that Jesus loves them.
00:05:34.66\00:05:37.47
They discover that Jesus can
set them free and they discover
00:05:37.67\00:05:41.67
the truth in the word of God.
00:05:41.67\00:05:43.44
So tonight we're going to
hear stories and testimonies of
00:05:43.44\00:05:48.54
people whose lives have
been changed by this ministry.
00:05:48.54\00:05:51.35
We sent the crew out and
they got some incredible stories
00:05:51.71\00:05:55.25
we're going to bring to you.
00:05:55.25\00:05:56.32
We're also going back in time
and we're going to visit some
00:05:56.52\00:06:01.46
of those early memories Mr.
Danny with you and some of your
00:06:01.46\00:06:04.46
brothers so we have some
history roll and then just
00:06:04.46\00:06:07.10
seeing what God is doing and I
think there's some music too so
00:06:07.10\00:06:09.93
it's going to be a wonderful
two and a half hours together.
00:06:09.93\00:06:12.80
It's going to be a fun program
praising the Lord Jesus Christ
00:06:12.80\00:06:15.87
for what he has done
through the ministry of 3ABN.
00:06:15.87\00:06:18.07
You know Dr. Yvonne when you
think about being involved in
00:06:18.14\00:06:20.78
ministry why are we involved
in ministries for souls of the
00:06:20.78\00:06:24.58
kingdom of God right?
00:06:24.58\00:06:25.58
What a blessing that is.
00:06:25.65\00:06:26.72
It is such a profound blessing
because for us to be alive at
00:06:26.92\00:06:31.69
this point in earth's history
what a privilege it is to get
00:06:31.69\00:06:36.86
the gospel to the world to show
people just like you were just
00:06:36.86\00:06:40.16
saying Jill how much Jesus
loves them how he wants to set
00:06:40.16\00:06:44.63
us all free and how he's
there for us and to see how this
00:06:44.63\00:06:50.14
ministry has worked in
the lives of people throughout
00:06:50.14\00:06:53.71
these 40 years and then the new
things that are on the horizon
00:06:53.71\00:06:58.21
it's just so exciting so
what a blessing to be here.
00:06:58.75\00:07:01.82
We have a lot of rolls this
evening Jill why don't we set
00:07:02.18\00:07:05.62
this next one up the we
have some free offers I see that
00:07:05.62\00:07:08.92
right there maybe we should
talk about that first then
00:07:08.92\00:07:10.59
we'll go to the first roll.
00:07:10.59\00:07:11.49
Okay sounds perfect so tonight
of course is all about what God
00:07:11.83\00:07:15.13
has done in and through this
ministry and what better way to
00:07:15.13\00:07:18.47
tell some of those early
moments than the mending broken
00:07:18.47\00:07:21.30
people's story.
00:07:21.30\00:07:22.47
Now you might have watched this
this is it three hours long?
00:07:22.77\00:07:25.71
I think it's three hours long.
00:07:26.24\00:07:27.08
I think it's a
couple hours at least.
00:07:27.08\00:07:29.21
Somebody said it was just a
little shorter than Gone with
00:07:29.48\00:07:32.28
the Wind.
00:07:32.28\00:07:32.65

Amen.
00:08:29.40\00:08:32.74
Danny, I know you've talked
about this through the years,
00:08:32.81\00:08:34.54
it's always inspiring when we
hear those testimonies of lives
00:08:34.81\00:08:37.61
change, right?
00:08:37.61\00:08:38.21
There are so many stories.
00:08:38.21\00:08:39.28
You've heard them from
the beginning of 3ABN, and it
00:08:39.71\00:08:42.35
always inspires us when we hear
them, and they continue through
00:08:42.35\00:08:45.52
the years.
00:08:45.52\00:08:49.22
the crew went out and got some
of these stories, so throughout
00:08:49.22\00:08:51.76
tonight's program, our special
40th anniversary program, we're
00:08:51.76\00:08:55.16
going to be going to,
Lord willing, maybe 8, 9, 10
00:08:55.16\00:08:58.43
different testimonies along
with some really special roles
00:08:58.43\00:09:00.67
of the history of 3ABN and some
music, but let's go to, should
00:09:00.67\00:09:04.24
we go to Sister Kay's role?
00:09:04.24\00:09:05.51
Sister Kay has an incredible
testimony, and let's listen to
00:09:05.94\00:09:08.48
that right now.
00:09:08.48\00:09:09.28
My name is Kay, I'm born and
brought up in Sri Lanka, and I
00:09:16.48\00:09:20.92
was educated in Sri Lanka, and
I thought I'm a good Christian,
00:09:20.92\00:09:25.19
I'm going to church every
Sunday, and reading the Bible,
00:09:25.39\00:09:29.46
praying, interceding for other
people, everything was going
00:09:29.76\00:09:34.34
good, I wanted to do mission
trips, and I was doing mission
00:09:34.34\00:09:38.24
trips and all that.
00:09:38.24\00:09:39.24
I was in Philippine, I was
reading Hebrews 4 in the Bible,
00:09:39.41\00:09:43.28
and God really convicted me.
00:09:43.91\00:09:46.61
He said something I
have never seen in Hebrew.
00:09:46.61\00:09:48.85
It says in verse 7, again,
He designates a certain day,
00:09:48.85\00:09:54.72
saying in David, today is
such a time, and has been said,
00:09:55.36\00:10:00.66
today, if you will hear
my voice, don't harden your
00:10:01.33\00:10:04.37
hearts, and then again He said,
there remains therefore a rest
00:10:04.37\00:10:08.77
for the people of God.
00:10:08.77\00:10:10.14
That hit me bad.
00:10:10.27\00:10:11.37
I was like shocked, I was
almost falling from my chair.
00:10:11.61\00:10:14.98
What is this rest day, Lord?
00:10:15.48\00:10:16.78
I never knew about this.
00:10:16.78\00:10:17.95
I have never heard about the
seventh day, and nothing at all
00:10:17.95\00:10:21.42
there.
00:10:21.42\00:10:21.98
Then I was asking
God, what is this?
00:10:22.28\00:10:23.75
Then He said in verse 11, let
us therefore be diligent, enter
00:10:23.92\00:10:28.76
the rest, lest anyone fall
according to the same example
00:10:28.76\00:10:34.20
of disobedience.
00:10:34.20\00:10:35.46
That's the word.
00:10:35.86\00:10:36.93
Those are the last bit of the
verses, it struck me so much,
00:10:37.13\00:10:40.84
and I said, God, I don't want
to be disobeying You, I want to
00:10:40.87\00:10:44.74
obey You.
00:10:44.74\00:10:52.71
Amazing Facts came, Sabbath
School Panel came, 3ABN came
00:10:52.71\00:10:57.02
when I stayed, and I started
to watch them, and then I got
00:10:57.02\00:11:00.52
hooked on to them, and in
a nutshell, I'm watching them
00:11:00.52\00:11:04.13
throughout all the time.
00:11:04.13\00:11:05.63
I really wanted to study
and know what are these people
00:11:06.53\00:11:09.63
saying about, and oh, Sabbath
is so, 3ABN guys, everyone,
00:11:09.63\00:11:14.87
Jill, Shelley Quinn, Pastor
Rafferty, John Lomacang, all
00:11:14.94\00:11:19.51
their sermons I'm watching,
okay, this is what it is, I
00:11:19.51\00:11:23.11
have to obey this, Doug
Batchelor too, and he was
00:11:23.11\00:11:26.58
saying, so I was convinced, and
God said, yes, you are on the
00:11:26.58\00:11:30.95
right path, follow me, I
will direct you, and I found a
00:11:30.95\00:11:35.12
church closer to my house, and
I went there, and they embraced
00:11:35.12\00:11:39.03
me, and when The pastor was
talking to me about seven days,
00:11:39.03\00:11:43.53
do you know all of these things?
00:11:43.70\00:11:44.77
Already 3ABN has
taught me everything.
00:11:44.90\00:11:47.00
I became a student under 3ABN,
so I was knowing to kind of
00:11:48.50\00:11:55.34
eighty percent all the
information because 3ABN is
00:11:55.34\00:11:59.45
using the Bible and Bible
alone, so I could understand,
00:11:59.45\00:12:03.18
oh, it's in the
Bible, so I have to obey.
00:12:03.25\00:12:05.39
So I give all glory to Him
because God was using me all
00:12:05.72\00:12:09.46
this time.
00:12:09.46\00:12:14.63
to see that God is using me,
that I can go out and tell my
00:12:14.63\00:12:19.73
story.
00:12:19.73\00:12:23.67
-suffering with you.
00:12:23.67\00:12:27.68
willing.
00:12:27.68\00:12:28.41
So He is always knocking at
the door, and are you willing?
00:12:28.84\00:12:31.81
So this is how God, step by
step, gently, not forcing, but
00:12:31.81\00:12:38.35
very gently, He brought me.
00:12:38.35\00:12:40.46
Jesus is a loving God, just go
back to the Bible and you will
00:12:41.36\00:12:45.49
find Him.
00:12:45.49\00:12:48.80
you.
00:12:48.80\00:12:49.46
Nowadays you have Bible
everywhere, there are many
00:12:50.23\00:12:52.83
channels on the television
or YouTube you can watch, and He
00:12:52.83\00:12:57.27
loves you and He died for you.
00:12:57.27\00:12:59.64
Don't lose one minute even to
get to know Jesus because it's
00:12:59.64\00:13:05.68
important, because He is your
best friend and He loves you
00:13:05.68\00:13:09.78
too much.
00:13:09.78\00:13:10.49
So you need to find, just
go and ask, where is Jesus?
00:13:11.29\00:13:14.29
And He is there in the Bible.
00:13:14.39\00:13:15.96
Amen, thank you so much.
00:13:22.36\00:13:24.00
What a great testimony.
00:13:24.00\00:13:25.07
Praise God.
00:13:25.07\00:13:25.57
I love that.
00:13:25.87\00:13:26.94
She's reading in the Word,
reading about the Sabbath rest,
00:13:27.04\00:13:30.74
and what does that mean?
00:13:30.77\00:13:32.01
And then all of a sudden
YouTube pushes for her, 3ABN
00:13:32.01\00:13:36.11
Sabbath School Panel,
3ABN Programming, Amazing Facts
00:13:36.11\00:13:38.78
Programming, praise the Lord.
00:13:38.78\00:13:40.25
That's incredible.
00:13:40.98\00:13:41.92
Sister Kay actually
attended our 3ABN School of
00:13:42.02\00:13:45.72
Discipleship, she lives down
under in Australia, and we had
00:13:45.72\00:13:49.06
that opportunity to get to
know her, and she's a precious
00:13:49.06\00:13:52.36
sister in Jesus.
00:13:52.36\00:13:53.33
So we love you Sister
Kay, what a great testimony.
00:13:53.40\00:13:55.63
You know I have to say
that this next clip that we're
00:13:56.23\00:13:59.37
getting ready to go to, thank
you Mr. Danny, I want to say
00:13:59.37\00:14:01.74
this in advance, for
doing this, because we've been
00:14:01.74\00:14:04.07
wanting to get this footage
from you talking about the
00:14:04.07\00:14:06.68
history of 3ABN
for a number of years.
00:14:06.68\00:14:08.81
So talk to us a little bit
about this, because this video
00:14:09.81\00:14:11.81
that we're getting ready to
see, it's about 10, 15 minutes
00:14:11.81\00:14:13.75
long or so, is a really special
one, because it kind of goes
00:14:13.75\00:14:16.25
back kind of
before 3ABN started.
00:14:16.25\00:14:18.59
Well yes, and so thanks
for asking us to do it, because
00:14:18.95\00:14:22.89
we're procrastinating, you
know we're kind of at our age
00:14:22.89\00:14:26.19
looking forward and quit
looking back so much, but the
00:14:26.19\00:14:29.36
history, so I went by, Greg
had said, well why don't you get
00:14:29.36\00:14:33.70
your brothers together, do
some background, so we went by
00:14:33.70\00:14:37.24
Brother Kenny and stopped by
his house, and said why don't
00:14:37.24\00:14:40.44
you get in, and I told Ronnie
to meet me in West Frankfort for
00:14:40.44\00:14:43.24
another brother, and we went
back to 812 West Warden Street,
00:14:43.24\00:14:47.08
where each of us were born,
we have a younger sister, Tammy
00:14:47.15\00:14:50.89
was born in the hospital, and
then my oldest brother Tommy,
00:14:50.89\00:14:53.39
he was born in another house,
but where we going to, WE'RE
00:14:53.59\00:14:57.29
ALL RAISED RIGHT
THERE IN WEST FRANKFORT.
00:14:57.29\00:15:00.20
SO, WHEN WE SAY WE'RE BORN
AT HOME, WE MEANT AT HOME, LIKE,
00:15:00.60\00:15:03.37
YOU KNOW, THE
DOCTORS DIDN'T COME OUT.
00:15:03.43\00:15:05.00
SO, YOU KNOW, MY Aunt Mildred,
THEY HAD 12 KIDS AND Uncle, YOU
00:15:05.57\00:15:10.57
KNOW, Aunt Wanda, SHE HAD EIGHT.
00:15:10.57\00:15:12.51
AND SO, YOU KNOW, BETWEEN
ALL THE SISTERS AND MY DAD HAD A
00:15:12.91\00:15:16.48
BIG FAMILY, THEY DIDN'T
REALLY NEED DOCTORS EACH OTHER.
00:15:16.48\00:15:19.91
THEY CAME AND
HELPED EACH OTHER DELIVER.
00:15:19.95\00:15:21.42
SO, WE WENT BACK AND I WAS
KNOCKED ON THE DOOR AND ASKED
00:15:21.48\00:15:25.35
THE FELLOW THAT LIVED THERE,
WOULD IT BE POSSIBLE FOR US TO
00:15:25.35\00:15:28.06
JUST TAKE A FEW MINUTES
AND GO OUTSIDE WITH MY BROTHERS
00:15:28.06\00:15:30.99
BECAUSE WE HAD OUR OWN LITTLE
BASKETBALL COURT WE HAD MADE
00:15:30.99\00:15:33.80
AND A LITTLE Pole vaulting.
00:15:33.80\00:15:35.63
YOU KNOW, IT'S SMALL, IT WASN'T
THAT BIG A YARD, BUT TO GO BACK
00:15:35.66\00:15:39.00
AND REMINISCE
SOME OF THE THINGS.
00:15:39.00\00:15:41.00
SO, WHERE DID IT REALLY START
WAS WITH TWO PARENTS WHO ONCE
00:15:41.20\00:15:44.57
THEY GAVE THEIR HEARTS TO
THE LORD, YOU KNOW, TAUGHT US IN
00:15:44.57\00:15:47.61
THE WAYS OF THE LORD AND IT
SAYS, YOU KNOW, THAT WHEN WE
00:15:47.61\00:15:50.28
GET OLD, WE'LL
NOT DEPART FROM THAT.
00:15:50.28\00:15:51.95
AND SO, WE GIVE HONOR AND GLORY
TO GOD, BUT I'M THANKFUL THAT
00:15:52.18\00:15:55.95
WE HAD PARENTS WHO LOVED US
ENOUGH TO TELL US THE TRUTH.
00:15:55.95\00:15:59.49
AND, YOU KNOW, THEY
WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT...
00:15:59.92\00:16:03.59
I'M JUST GOING TO SAY BACK
THEN, IT'S LOOKED, THIS IS THE
00:16:03.59\00:16:07.00
WAY THINGS DO.
00:16:07.00\00:16:07.96
YOU GET UP SABOTH
MORNING, YOU GO TO CHURCH.
00:16:07.96\00:16:10.20
IT'S NOT LIKE, WELL, I
DON'T KNOW, DO YOU WANT TO GO TO
00:16:10.43\00:16:12.53
CHURCH OR NOT.
00:16:12.53\00:16:13.27
YOU DID THESE
THINGS AT THE TIME.
00:16:13.54\00:16:15.14
WE MAY SAY, WELL, WHY, BUT
LATER IN LIFE, WE SAY THANK YOU
00:16:15.24\00:16:18.84
LORD THAT OUR
PARENTS CARED ENOUGH.
00:16:18.84\00:16:20.41
SO, WE JUST WENT BACK AND JUST
DID A LITTLE REMINISCING AND
00:16:20.41\00:16:20.44
THEN WE WENT OUT TO THE UPLINK
WHERE WE ORIGINALLY BUILT AND
00:16:23.45\00:16:26.31
WHILE WE WERE THERE, THEY GOT
US ACTUALLY DOING A LITTLE BIT
00:16:26.31\00:16:28.25
OF WORK.
00:16:28.25\00:16:28.85
YEAH, THANK YOU FOR THAT.
00:16:28.85\00:16:29.78
WE APPRECIATE THAT
WORK THAT YOU DID THERE.
00:16:29.82\00:16:31.39
SO, ANYWAY, IT'S JUST A LITTLE
ROLE THAT HOPEFULLY PEOPLE WILL
00:16:32.22\00:16:35.22
ENJOY.
00:16:35.22\00:16:36.86
AND I WANT TO SAY THANK YOU
TO BRAD AND THE CREW AS WELL WHO
00:16:36.89\00:16:39.03
WENT OUT THERE, GOT ALL THIS
FOOTAGE AND HAVE DONE A GREAT
00:16:39.03\00:16:42.46
JOB.
00:16:42.46\00:16:44.13
MUSIC
00:16:47.50\00:16:48.00
Father, thank you that you
allow us to be a part of this
00:16:54.98\00:16:58.68
ministry and we give you honor
and we give you glory and we
00:16:58.68\00:17:02.15
give you praise.
00:17:02.15\00:17:03.05
In Jesus' name, I pray, Amen.
00:17:03.49\00:17:05.49
MUSIC Hey, bro.
00:17:10.66\00:17:13.13
Hey.
00:17:13.29\00:17:13.70
How you doing?
00:17:13.70\00:17:14.40
Hey, I'm doing good today.
00:17:14.56\00:17:15.43
How about you?
00:17:15.46\00:17:16.13
Good, good, good.
00:17:16.20\00:17:18.40
Okay.
00:17:18.60\00:17:18.87
I can do that.
00:17:19.03\00:17:20.10
Stay with me.
00:17:20.30\00:17:21.10
I'll hurry.
00:17:21.87\00:17:22.47
I got this.
00:17:24.71\00:17:25.61
What's this all about?
00:17:26.54\00:17:27.31
You know what
this is, don't you?
00:17:27.31\00:17:28.48
Yeah, well, I recognize it, yes.
00:17:28.58\00:17:30.21
Looks like work to me.
00:17:30.38\00:17:31.41
Looks like a
kerosene can, right?
00:17:31.71\00:17:33.58
Yes, it looks good.
00:17:33.58\00:17:34.48
So, I thought I'd give
this to you and then have you go
00:17:34.75\00:17:37.75
somewhere with me.
00:17:37.75\00:17:38.52
Last time you
asked me to go with you.
00:17:38.85\00:17:40.79
Yes.
00:17:40.82\00:17:44.56
world.
00:17:44.56\00:17:46.70
I'm busted.
00:17:46.76\00:17:47.40
I'm busted, all right.
00:17:47.73\00:17:48.86
Well, here's what I thought.
00:17:49.06\00:17:50.23
This is 40th anniversary.
00:17:50.43\00:17:51.70
Yes, yeah.
00:17:51.87\00:17:55.44
beginning.
00:17:55.44\00:17:55.94
And the very beginning
is not out here at T-Ville.
00:17:56.67\00:17:59.21
It's at 812 West Warden
Street in West Frankfurt.
00:17:59.74\00:18:02.04
Yeah.
00:18:02.24\00:18:05.01
Sure.
00:18:05.01\00:18:07.35
So, can you jump in
the truck and go with me?
00:18:07.68\00:18:09.72
Oh, I want to go back.
00:18:09.72\00:18:09.75
All right, let's do it.
00:18:10.75\00:18:11.55
All right, let's go.
00:18:11.55\00:18:11.92
So, what I was going to let
you know was I called brother
00:18:13.25\00:18:16.89
Ronnie and asked him to meet
us at the former A&W, which is
00:18:16.89\00:18:22.90
when we were kids, we lived,
what, two blocks, was it, from
00:18:22.90\00:18:25.60
A &W?
00:18:25.60\00:18:26.00
Oh, yeah, sure.
00:18:26.00\00:18:27.24
Yeah, the people there and the
down home thing, you know, so
00:18:27.24\00:18:27.27
small towns.
00:18:30.51\00:18:31.04
Nice, okay.
00:18:31.07\00:18:34.48
Okay.
00:18:35.04\00:18:37.28
Okay, let's go.
00:18:37.31\00:18:38.18
So, we'll see if he is or not.
00:18:38.18\00:18:40.92
This looks very similar to
it did when we were kids, you
00:18:43.89\00:18:46.82
know, the A&W.
00:18:46.82\00:18:47.72
Oh, there's Jamie.
00:18:48.09\00:18:48.89
Karen, how are you all doing?
00:18:49.66\00:18:50.69
I'm good.
00:18:50.73\00:18:54.46
Shelton.
00:18:54.46\00:18:54.96
So, we've got time to
grab a root beer before we go.
00:18:55.56\00:18:57.87
Oh, I hope we do.
00:18:57.90\00:18:58.77
We don't have time to get a mug.
00:18:58.93\00:19:00.17
Ronnie got his in the mug.
00:19:00.57\00:19:01.50
Well, I figured it was
going to happen that way.
00:19:01.57\00:19:03.17
So, you remember coming here,
Ronnie, and paying how much for
00:19:03.94\00:19:07.58
a little root beer?
00:19:07.58\00:19:08.38
Well, five cents.
00:19:08.38\00:19:09.44
Five cents.
00:19:09.78\00:19:10.25
Nine cents.
00:19:10.61\00:19:11.51
They've done that?
00:19:12.18\00:19:13.08
The only thing that
happened was 65 years later.
00:19:13.25\00:19:17.62
So, prices did go
up just a little bit.
00:19:19.59\00:19:21.92
It's good to be here.
00:19:22.39\00:19:23.02
Nice, beautiful place.
00:19:23.06\00:19:24.23
Thank you.
00:19:24.56\00:19:25.03
I'm glad to meet you all.
00:19:25.56\00:19:26.49
Yeah, Ronnie, you want to
jump in the truck with us?
00:19:27.60\00:19:29.56
Yeah, yeah.
00:19:29.93\00:19:30.63
You jump in the back seat?
00:19:30.77\00:19:31.87
I said jump, Kenny,
you think you'd do that?
00:19:32.60\00:19:34.64
You got steps to get up there?
00:19:35.14\00:19:36.64
I was going to say,
just crawl in if you can.
00:19:36.64\00:19:38.91
That's exactly right.
00:19:39.71\00:19:40.68
Just crawl in.
00:19:40.71\00:19:41.21
Ain't no jumping.
00:19:41.58\00:19:41.98
Each man for themself here,
get in the best way you can.
00:19:42.71\00:19:45.51
We're going down,
everybody knows these streets.
00:19:45.71\00:19:48.18
There's Main Street, and this
is Popper Street, and that's
00:19:48.42\00:19:51.12
St. Louis Street.
00:19:51.12\00:19:51.89
So, if I had driven by there,
we could have said who the
00:19:53.05\00:19:56.42
neighbors were, because
we knew them all, didn't we?
00:19:56.42\00:19:58.26
We knew them all.
00:19:58.46\00:19:59.13
Okay, who lived
over here on the right?
00:19:59.53\00:20:01.56
That was...
00:20:02.10\00:20:03.20
Colin?
00:20:03.20\00:20:03.60
Dr. McColin.
00:20:03.97\00:20:05.47
Miller's over here.
00:20:05.47\00:20:06.67
Miller's on the left.
00:20:06.70\00:20:07.57
Bandera's right there.
00:20:07.87\00:20:09.44
That's Groves'.
00:20:10.07\00:20:10.81
Groves', right?
00:20:10.81\00:20:11.84
We were born in this house,
Kenny, Ronnie, and myself, but
00:20:12.04\00:20:15.81
we have a picture of
one of the three of us here.
00:20:15.81\00:20:18.21
Tell us about the fence, Ronnie.
00:20:19.41\00:20:21.05
We used to have a white
picket fence that went from the
00:20:21.35\00:20:23.75
corner.
00:20:23.75\00:20:26.39
Seemed like that.
00:20:26.69\00:20:27.36
Well, things how they changed.
00:20:27.36\00:20:28.36
And then here, Mom had this
arch over it, and she'd painted
00:20:28.56\00:20:32.63
on it by hand, and she'd say,
Jesus is coming soon, or again,
00:20:32.63\00:20:36.20
which was it?
00:20:36.36\00:20:37.00
Jesus is coming
again, maybe it was.
00:20:37.37\00:20:39.00
And like I say, the
sidewalk is still here.
00:20:39.00\00:20:39.03
Yeah, the original sidewalk.
00:20:40.87\00:20:41.80
The original sidewalk.
00:20:41.80\00:20:44.77
over, right through there.
00:20:44.77\00:20:45.77
Remember how often we played
washers right here and the
00:20:46.34\00:20:48.64
neighbors, different ones?
00:20:48.64\00:20:49.68
That was one game that Dad,
even with his heart condition,
00:20:50.15\00:20:53.55
he could play washers.
00:20:53.62\00:20:54.72
He could.
00:20:54.78\00:20:55.25
He could do that.
00:20:55.25\00:20:56.18
He was good at that, for sure.
00:20:56.45\00:20:57.82
What he'd do when he'd get up
to pitch, the rest of us would
00:20:57.82\00:21:00.76
take the two-and-a-half-inch
washers and we'd just throw
00:21:00.76\00:21:04.29
them like this.
00:21:04.29\00:21:05.13
He would say,
now, boys, watch this.
00:21:05.16\00:21:06.76
Watch this.
00:21:06.76\00:21:07.13
Do like this.
00:21:07.66\00:21:08.46
And then as soon as he'd let
it go, he'd say, take a picture,
00:21:08.86\00:21:11.53
somebody, quick.
00:21:11.67\00:21:12.47
Take a picture of
that beautiful form.
00:21:13.03\00:21:14.04
And he was usually right.
00:21:14.04\00:21:15.17
That's the thing.
00:21:15.40\00:21:15.90
He was good at that.
00:21:15.90\00:21:17.27
He was good at that.
00:21:17.37\00:21:18.01
Like this here was like 100
feet wide, but it's about 30
00:21:19.27\00:21:22.38
feet, 20 or 30.
00:21:22.38\00:21:23.21
Look, there's some bricks right
there, and those came from...
00:21:23.78\00:21:27.52
The basketball court.
00:21:27.52\00:21:29.32
And on the roof is where we
fastened where our basketball
00:21:29.65\00:21:32.45
goal.
00:21:32.45\00:21:32.92
And so we'd lay
bricks end to end to end.
00:21:33.42\00:21:35.86
Where'd we get the bricks?
00:21:35.86\00:21:36.49
That's what I
was going to ask you.
00:21:36.69\00:21:37.66
I didn't remember
where we got them.
00:21:37.76\00:21:38.83
No, St. Louis Street
was all bricks all the way.
00:21:38.93\00:21:41.36
And about 1960, they took
all of that off and there was
00:21:41.56\00:21:45.60
thousands of bricks
they let people have.
00:21:45.60\00:21:47.40
So we would go over there and
boxes are in the bicycle with
00:21:47.77\00:21:51.17
the baskets and then bring
them over here and then lay them
00:21:51.17\00:21:54.44
down because when we dribble,
there was no grass left because
00:21:54.44\00:21:58.91
we dribble, you know.
00:21:58.91\00:22:00.15
So now we put bricks, but
the trouble is they would move
00:22:00.15\00:22:04.25
shifts.
00:22:04.25\00:22:06.72
over here.
00:22:06.72\00:22:09.82
good ball handler.
00:22:09.82\00:22:10.53
Oh, I'll think of that for sure.
00:22:10.73\00:22:12.46
Which way he could handle it.
00:22:12.83\00:22:13.80
Because often it would bounce
like a football, you know, hit
00:22:14.10\00:22:16.53
the corner of a
brick and take off.
00:22:16.53\00:22:17.93
Right in front of the alley was
a little building that most of
00:22:18.33\00:22:21.64
our people, if you're under 50
or 60, won't know what it was,
00:22:21.64\00:22:25.11
not to shed.
00:22:25.21\00:22:25.87
There was another little
building that when you had to
00:22:26.37\00:22:28.78
do certain jobs.
00:22:28.78\00:22:29.58
Not an outhouse.
00:22:29.58\00:22:30.48
An outhouse.
00:22:31.31\00:22:32.38
Oh my, Danny, I don't
know if these folks watch this.
00:22:32.48\00:22:34.78
How close it was, Danny,
if you remember, because I was
00:22:35.15\00:22:38.89
involved in that for
quite a few years here.
00:22:38.89\00:22:41.16
It was just...
00:22:41.79\00:22:42.66
That's a good way of saying it.
00:22:42.66\00:22:43.83
Yeah, I was
involved in this thing.
00:22:43.83\00:22:45.29
It was right, the back of it
was right even with almost the
00:22:45.83\00:22:49.50
alleyway.
00:22:49.50\00:22:50.23
And then a guy come by once
a week with a buggy and horse.
00:22:50.73\00:22:55.60
Once you do on the back of that
outhouse, you raised up the lid
00:22:56.50\00:22:59.31
on the back, fastened it here,
and he shoveled into that, ooh.
00:22:59.31\00:23:03.55
All he had to say was the
horse, and he had to move to
00:23:04.18\00:23:07.05
the next one.
00:23:07.05\00:23:10.35
it.
00:23:10.35\00:23:14.92
an inside.
00:23:14.92\00:23:18.46
Yeah, yeah, okay.
00:23:18.73\00:23:20.46
And then the
Aligolios lived right behind us.
00:23:20.83\00:23:23.13
People came once a week
and they picked up your trash.
00:23:23.70\00:23:26.43
You brought everything to
the, you had 55-gallon barrels.
00:23:26.43\00:23:29.84
So the Golios
had theirs over here.
00:23:30.57\00:23:32.81
Yes.
00:23:32.87\00:23:33.24
We had ours here.
00:23:33.48\00:23:34.74
Well, what we discovered
now, Mr. Golio, he was a coal
00:23:35.34\00:23:38.05
miner.
00:23:38.05\00:23:41.55
have any money.
00:23:41.55\00:23:42.65
For somehow, we discovered one
evening because trash time was
00:23:42.82\00:23:46.45
coming.
00:23:46.45\00:23:49.22
like a truck.
00:23:49.22\00:23:50.59
Yeah, they throw it away
because one wheel was missing.
00:23:50.76\00:23:53.03
Yeah, yeah.
00:23:53.26\00:23:57.70
So now, fast forward then
to 1990s, when I saw Mr. Golio.
00:23:58.20\00:24:02.44
Well.
00:24:02.60\00:24:02.90
So I said, Mr. Golio.
00:24:03.17\00:24:04.51
And he said, how
are you doing, Shelton?
00:24:04.84\00:24:06.71
I figured he couldn't
tell us apart, which one.
00:24:06.78\00:24:08.71
He said, how are
you doing, Shelton?
00:24:08.98\00:24:10.25
I said, fine, we
talked for a bit.
00:24:10.25\00:24:12.08
And I said, I want
to tell you something.
00:24:12.65\00:24:14.08
I said, they say confession is
good for the soul, yet hard on
00:24:14.32\00:24:17.55
the reputation.
00:24:17.55\00:24:18.62
But I said, when we were kids,
I said, my brothers and I, we
00:24:18.82\00:24:22.09
used to go over to your house
because I said, as you probably
00:24:22.09\00:24:25.33
knew, we
couldn't afford any toys.
00:24:25.33\00:24:27.36
So I said, we
would go in your barrel.
00:24:27.83\00:24:29.63
But I said, I was always
surprised at some of the nice
00:24:29.70\00:24:32.17
stuff that was in there that
we couldn't find anything wrong
00:24:32.17\00:24:35.57
with.
00:24:35.57\00:24:35.90
And it was really nice.
00:24:36.24\00:24:37.77
And just as quick, he was
already 90, 85, 90, 88, 90
00:24:37.94\00:24:42.01
years old.
00:24:42.01\00:24:45.61
And I said, it didn't happen.
00:24:45.91\00:24:47.68
He said, no, he said,
my wife and I knew that.
00:24:48.05\00:24:50.65
He said, you were good boys.
00:24:50.69\00:24:52.05
You stayed in your
mind, you were there.
00:24:52.05\00:24:55.19
And he said, my wife and I
said, you know, why don't we
00:24:55.66\00:24:58.49
help them a little bit?
00:24:58.49\00:24:59.66
And he said, so we made
sure there were some pretty nice
00:24:59.66\00:24:59.69
toys in there just to try to
help out because we knew your
00:25:01.83\00:25:05.27
dad was disabled.
00:25:05.27\00:25:06.17
Here's the deal with Mr. Golio.
00:25:06.50\00:25:08.00
It was nearly Christmas.
00:25:08.24\00:25:09.30
I said, Mr. Golio, he
said, we just did that.
00:25:09.60\00:25:13.44
I said, I would
have never known.
00:25:13.54\00:25:14.84
He said, well, we
didn't want anybody to know.
00:25:14.94\00:25:16.54
So I said, well, it
was nearly Christmas.
00:25:16.95\00:25:18.55
I said, this is a great story.
00:25:18.68\00:25:20.18
Could I just tell on the
air how you did this to help us?
00:25:20.18\00:25:24.69
You know, the gift without some
reason or trying for a show.
00:25:24.72\00:25:28.52
He said, Shelton, if I'd want
people to know, I'd have told
00:25:29.29\00:25:32.33
them.
00:25:32.33\00:25:34.56
He said, I'd have told you.
00:25:34.73\00:25:35.86
He said, we did it out of
the privacy, you know, ourself.
00:25:35.93\00:25:38.67
Now he's passed away.
00:25:38.73\00:25:39.73
He lived to be over
100 years old, about 103.
00:25:39.77\00:25:42.10
But I think now probably
it's okay to say it, but he just
00:25:42.60\00:25:45.81
didn't want any, any
claim or whether you did it.
00:25:45.81\00:25:48.94
He said, no, we did it
because it's the right thing.
00:25:48.94\00:25:50.68
He had a good heart.
00:25:50.68\00:25:51.65
And we wanted to help.
00:25:51.65\00:25:52.58
We praise the Lord, the little
house, the seven of us in it,
00:25:52.91\00:25:56.02
but there was a
lot of love there.
00:25:56.25\00:25:57.69
We didn't have much money.
00:25:57.75\00:25:58.89
We didn't have, but we
did have a lot of love.
00:25:59.15\00:26:01.32
Didn't realize it until you
got older how blessed you were.
00:26:01.46\00:26:04.46
All right, we better get
out of here for the folks.
00:26:04.86\00:26:06.86
Run us off.
00:26:07.23\00:26:10.73
haven't been here since the
seventies together like this.
00:26:10.73\00:26:13.47
It looks different, doesn't it?
00:26:13.47\00:26:14.57
Yeah, it does.
00:26:14.57\00:26:15.34
It looks different.
00:26:15.40\00:26:15.94
Well, you get an idea of
where we're going, right?
00:26:16.50\00:26:18.47
I do.
00:26:18.54\00:26:19.14
I do see this.
00:26:19.14\00:26:19.94
I want to ask you a question.
00:26:20.24\00:26:21.21
Okay.
00:26:21.74\00:26:24.28
I thought he was
going to go with us.
00:26:24.45\00:26:25.71
Did he say where he went?
00:26:25.81\00:26:26.85
No, you know, I
don't know where he's...
00:26:27.05\00:26:28.98
I think you heard the word work.
00:26:28.98\00:26:30.65
I think he heard the word work.
00:26:32.29\00:26:34.16
No, I think he had
something else to do.
00:26:34.26\00:26:35.92
But, you know, I had questions
too because when you come by
00:26:36.22\00:26:38.36
the house there, you jumped
out and you had this diesel fuel
00:26:38.36\00:26:41.80
cap and said, hey, you
want to take a ride with me?
00:26:41.80\00:26:44.23
Well, I,
automatically, it's work.
00:26:44.40\00:26:46.53
You said, you know,
to me, it's okay to work.
00:26:46.53\00:26:49.14
Oh, if you see a diesel
can, that's a good clue.
00:26:49.30\00:26:50.77
It was a clue.
00:26:50.84\00:26:54.21
Well, yeah, that's right.
00:26:54.38\00:26:55.48
We're headed to the
uplink that we built in 1985.
00:26:55.48\00:26:55.51
Now, notice up here, this is
a single-phase road of power all
00:26:58.85\00:27:02.75
the way from the highway, but a
mile and a third of whatever it
00:27:02.75\00:27:05.99
is from the very end,
here's three-phase power.
00:27:05.99\00:27:09.36
And so when we...
00:27:10.63\00:27:11.79
Clarence Larson, he's the
engineer, said you got to have
00:27:11.79\00:27:14.20
three -phase power, but
there won't be any there because
00:27:14.20\00:27:16.30
there's no business.
00:27:16.30\00:27:17.53
Look right here, all along this
road, there's three-phase power
00:27:17.57\00:27:21.00
right to the driveway.
00:27:21.00\00:27:22.10
Be honest, I just didn't...
00:27:23.04\00:27:24.04
I didn't notice this up there.
00:27:24.04\00:27:25.31
I never looked up.
00:27:25.44\00:27:26.07
Again, we need
to learn to look up.
00:27:26.24\00:27:27.58
That's right, absolutely.
00:27:27.71\00:27:28.94
So here's the original uplink.
00:27:29.14\00:27:30.95
There it is, yeah.
00:27:30.95\00:27:32.18
And...
00:27:32.18\00:27:33.52
Look at that big dish.
00:27:33.52\00:27:34.62
That's a big reminder, isn't it?
00:27:34.75\00:27:36.25
Yes.
00:27:36.25\00:27:39.62
dish out here, and that dish
would send to any satellites.
00:27:39.62\00:27:43.43
It had to set on
that side of the property.
00:27:43.43\00:27:46.33
It couldn't set right over here
on this end of the two acres.
00:27:46.43\00:27:48.86
But then, you know, the
Lord blessed with the money.
00:27:49.30\00:27:51.77
That was almost $400,000, and
we didn't have anything to do
00:27:51.80\00:27:56.54
it.
00:27:56.54\00:27:59.64
and they said, we really
shouldn't, but you're supposed
00:27:59.81\00:28:02.08
to have so much down.
00:28:02.08\00:28:03.21
And I said, well, I know
we're going to have the money.
00:28:03.24\00:28:04.91
It was like 90 days or
something like that when they
00:28:05.11\00:28:07.32
gave us.
00:28:07.32\00:28:07.68
That was it.
00:28:07.68\00:28:09.72
Didn't know anybody
had that kind of money.
00:28:09.72\00:28:11.45
No, it's been amazing.
00:28:11.99\00:28:12.95
It's an amazing
project, and it's good to...
00:28:12.95\00:28:15.26
We haven't been back
here together in many years.
00:28:15.26\00:28:16.99
That's right.
00:28:16.99\00:28:17.03
in the back of the truck.
00:28:21.33\00:28:22.36
What it is, there's like a
ravine over here, and they need
00:28:22.50\00:28:26.10
to get somebody.
00:28:26.10\00:28:27.70
So I said, well,
we'll go over there.
00:28:27.97\00:28:29.44
I figured, Greg and Jill, what
all they're doing for us, we
00:28:29.67\00:28:32.64
can surely come over here, and
they figured we're free labor.
00:28:32.64\00:28:36.11
Oh, absolutely.
00:28:36.31\00:28:38.61
anything.
00:28:38.61\00:28:41.32
Yeah, fuel helps.
00:28:41.32\00:28:43.18
Now, you remember why we have
the one can, and why this is
00:28:43.32\00:28:45.95
going like this, right?
00:28:45.95\00:28:46.69
Yeah, I do remember that.
00:28:46.76\00:28:48.49
But tell us.
00:28:48.52\00:28:49.62
Well, you know, when we first
got it here, and left one of
00:28:49.76\00:28:52.03
the property and began to
build the road, we can really be
00:28:52.03\00:28:55.20
honest, we could
only afford like one can.
00:28:55.20\00:28:57.17
We didn't have money.
00:28:57.20\00:28:57.83
We had to buy it ourselves.
00:28:57.83\00:29:01.34
diesel fuel.
00:29:01.34\00:29:02.00
Literally, but five
gallons would last a while.
00:29:02.40\00:29:04.57
Like I say, then the next
day, we'd bring another one.
00:29:04.61\00:29:07.51
And then we got blessed, and
all of a sudden, we can get two
00:29:08.68\00:29:11.91
of them.
00:29:11.91\00:29:14.88
I'll try to bring the truck up
here, and I'm going to fill in
00:29:15.42\00:29:18.82
that hole a little bit, and
maybe you can spread it for me,
00:29:18.82\00:29:21.16
right?
00:29:21.16\00:29:22.62
Absolutely, I will.
00:29:22.79\00:29:23.49
See if we can do it.
00:29:23.56\00:29:24.36
Okay, let's do this thing.
00:29:24.43\00:29:25.86
You ready?
00:29:28.43\00:29:29.00
Yeah, the bucket like that,
you just, it goes right straight
00:29:51.25\00:29:54.09
down.
00:29:54.09\00:29:54.99
You couldn't ask for any more.
00:29:55.26\00:29:56.42
Well, bro, thank you.
00:29:56.52\00:29:57.33
We do like that.
00:29:57.33\00:29:57.96
That's really what it, yeah.
00:29:58.23\00:30:01.13
Let's go in and talk over
a little bit of old times.
00:30:01.13\00:30:03.43
Oh, yeah.
00:30:03.47\00:30:06.87
today.
00:30:06.87\00:30:07.50
Yeah, still get goose bumps.
00:30:07.54\00:30:08.57
You bet.
00:30:08.84\00:30:09.10
Yeah, absolutely.
00:30:09.97\00:30:10.47
It's just like, mmm.
00:30:10.47\00:30:11.37
Absolutely.
00:30:11.84\00:30:12.24
Yeah, this whole thing, the
front of it was that four by
00:30:13.34\00:30:15.74
eight board on it,
it said temple on it.
00:30:15.74\00:30:17.81
So we used to come out
here, you remember that?
00:30:18.11\00:30:20.02
And sing Holy Ground?
00:30:20.22\00:30:21.12
Yes.
00:30:21.25\00:30:21.65
And so people from all over,
and you've seen it too, I'm
00:30:22.82\00:30:26.09
sure, said they'd come here,
and they really felt like they
00:30:26.09\00:30:28.52
were standing on Holy Ground.
00:30:28.52\00:30:29.96
Absolutely.
00:30:29.96\00:30:30.76
I mean, lots of people.
00:30:31.13\00:30:32.53
Yeah.
00:30:32.56\00:30:35.16
Yeah.
00:30:35.36\00:30:35.70
And it is.
00:30:35.70\00:30:36.40
Yeah.
00:30:36.50\00:30:38.63
Yeah.
00:30:38.90\00:30:39.47
Yvonne said years ago when C.A.
00:30:39.60\00:30:41.80
Murray, she picked her up at
the airport, he had invited her
00:30:41.90\00:30:44.37
to do a program, and she came,
she was asleep, it was later in
00:30:44.37\00:30:47.84
the evening, said she pulled on
the 3ABN, on the 3ABN property,
00:30:47.84\00:30:52.25
and she woke up, and she said,
I feel like I'm standing on
00:30:52.41\00:30:55.42
Holy Ground.
00:30:55.42\00:30:56.05
All my praise, I
give you all my praise.
00:30:56.35\00:31:05.53
That's all I have to offer you.
00:31:08.60\00:31:15.80
I now build a
sanctuary deep, within my heart.
00:31:18.24\00:31:28.65
And all my
praise, I offer up to you.
00:31:30.02\00:31:38.83
So to you.
00:31:58.91\00:32:02.55
I'm an empty, broken vessel,
filled with hurt and pain
00:32:04.25\00:32:13.33
inside.
00:32:13.33\00:32:14.93
Still I offer up
all my praise to you.
00:32:15.53\00:32:25.14
All my praise, I
give you all my praise.
00:32:28.78\00:32:38.19
That's all I have to offer you.
00:32:39.15\00:32:49.20
I now build a
sanctuary deep within my heart.
00:32:50.07\00:33:00.98
And all my
praise, I offer up to you.
00:33:02.44\00:33:11.65
Oh,
00:33:14.02\00:33:14.52
to you.
00:33:21.93\00:33:24.73
Wow, amen.
00:33:34.38\00:33:35.38
Wow, Mr. Daniel, it
brings back a lot of memories.
00:33:35.74\00:33:37.45
It does, it absolutely
does, and it was fun, actually.
00:33:37.78\00:33:40.98
Oh, yeah.
00:33:41.02\00:33:44.29
hadn't been that backyard
since the 70s, I guess, since a
00:33:44.29\00:33:48.49
little after my
father died in 1974.
00:33:48.49\00:33:50.86
And so it was nice to go back
and reminisce and look around,
00:33:52.09\00:33:55.80
and the story of
Mr. Golio still gets me.
00:33:55.80\00:33:55.83
And we were standing right
in the alley and where we were
00:33:58.40\00:34:01.24
actually standing, that barrel
that we used to turn over and
00:34:01.24\00:34:04.61
find stuff was no
more than 10 feet.
00:34:04.61\00:34:06.41
And I hadn't been back there,
like I say, in 50 years, just
00:34:06.51\00:34:09.81
about.
00:34:09.81\00:34:13.11
bit.
00:34:13.11\00:34:17.32
as young teenagers, let us cut
a hole in the attic, and then
00:34:17.82\00:34:21.62
we got some wood, a house had
burned up the street, and we'd
00:34:21.62\00:34:25.09
go get the scrap wood
and made a little floor.
00:34:25.09\00:34:27.46
And the center of the peak was
about five foot, six or seven,
00:34:28.33\00:34:32.97
and it would go down, it was
only 12 feet wide, and it would
00:34:34.04\00:34:36.40
go down to three feet.
00:34:36.40\00:34:37.51
So our walls were three feet,
so we had to get our beds in
00:34:37.77\00:34:41.18
there and you just put them
against, and you couldn't get
00:34:41.18\00:34:43.55
up unless you got
down the middle of the...
00:34:43.55\00:34:45.28
Of course, you hit your head.
00:34:45.28\00:34:48.32
couldn't have
lived up there, you know.
00:34:48.32\00:34:50.02
But no, it brings back a lot
of memories, and really that's
00:34:51.02\00:34:54.79
where it started, is our folks,
and I encourage young people,
00:34:54.79\00:34:57.56
you know, parents today to
encourage their kids in the
00:34:57.69\00:35:00.80
Lord.
00:35:00.80\00:35:04.87
but as far as I know, all of us
are still serving the Lord, and
00:35:04.87\00:35:09.67
in spite of everything, we've,
you know, like I say, whatever
00:35:09.67\00:35:13.48
comes and goes, that's
the beauty of the plan of
00:35:13.48\00:35:16.85
salvation.
00:35:16.85\00:35:20.98
you today, no matter where you
are, what you've been doing in
00:35:20.98\00:35:23.92
your life, maybe you're away
from the Lord now, you happen
00:35:23.92\00:35:26.35
to be turning this on, He's
ready and waiting for you to
00:35:26.35\00:35:30.39
simply come and ask Him to
forgive you from your sins, and
00:35:30.39\00:35:33.19
He will do it.
00:35:33.19\00:35:36.10
So, 3ABN has been a great,
great, I don't want to say run,
00:35:36.70\00:35:41.27
but Paul said a run a good
race, I can't say they've run a
00:35:41.34\00:35:44.11
good race, but I'll say
that God has held us up when we
00:35:44.11\00:35:47.51
needed it, and the main thing
that was hit by some of these
00:35:47.51\00:35:51.18
testimonies, and the more that
we'll be hearing is the message
00:35:51.18\00:35:54.65
that 3ABN, the one thing that
we've done, if you watched us
00:35:54.65\00:35:58.02
40 years, 38 years ago,
you watch us now, the message
00:35:58.02\00:36:01.56
basically is going to be the
same that the Lord has blessed
00:36:01.56\00:36:05.49
that we haven't gone to the
left or to the right, you know,
00:36:05.49\00:36:08.66
because you get people going
every wind of doctrine, So I'm
00:36:08.66\00:36:11.83
thankful and thank
you for your leadership.
00:36:11.83\00:36:13.64
Our Board of Directors that all
have the same goals and mission
00:36:14.17\00:36:18.24
as we're going to stick to the
Three Angels messages and God
00:36:18.24\00:36:22.68
will do the rest.
00:36:22.68\00:36:23.71
You know Jill, one thing that
struck me as we were looking at
00:36:24.85\00:36:27.68
that video of Mr. Danny and
the family there is ministry
00:36:27.68\00:36:31.52
requires hard work, doesn't it?
00:36:31.52\00:36:33.29
I'm thinking about how three
have been started and here you
00:36:33.32\00:36:35.66
are, I like that montage at
the end of that video of them
00:36:35.66\00:36:38.09
stretching out
that tape measure.
00:36:38.09\00:36:40.16
The driveway, the equipment,
I mean you guys got right in
00:36:40.60\00:36:43.16
there, hammered the nails, you
know ministry requires getting
00:36:43.16\00:36:45.60
in there.
00:36:45.60\00:36:45.93
My brother's
knife mostly built that.
00:36:46.74\00:36:49.00
Dug footers and all that
stuff, so you know a lot of
00:36:49.00\00:36:51.97
times people say, oh ministry,
you know just let other people
00:36:51.97\00:36:54.18
know, you've got to get in
there and actually sacrifice
00:36:54.18\00:36:55.74
and do work
yourself, so what a blessing.
00:36:55.74\00:36:57.95

00:37:17.03\00:37:22.24
here that you can wear as well.
00:37:22.24\00:37:24.04
So speaking of family, your
brothers being involved with
00:37:24.57\00:37:28.44
building the ministry, Melody
was an integral part from the
00:37:28.44\00:37:32.11
very beginning and we have
a special role of her and you
00:37:32.11\00:37:35.92
singing.
00:37:35.92\00:37:36.18
Oh my.
00:37:36.18\00:37:37.25
So let's go to that right now.
00:37:37.25\00:37:39.52
give him glory give him glory
00:38:07.32\00:38:17.79
Lifting holy hands toward
heaven worship Christ the Lord.
00:38:17.99\00:38:31.67
Praise him, praise him,
praise the name of the Lord.
00:38:34.48\00:38:49.86
Let all heaven and earth
proclaim it that Jesus Christ is
00:38:49.86\00:39:05.31
Lord. Give him glory.
00:39:06.64\00:39:13.31
Give him glory.
00:39:17.69\00:39:21.36
Lifting holy hands toward heaven
00:39:23.86\00:39:25.36
Worship Christ the Lord.
00:39:32.90\00:39:36.84
Wow, amen.
00:39:36.84\00:39:37.67
Oh my.
00:39:37.74\00:39:38.27
That is so sweet.
00:39:38.37\00:39:39.64
I went way back.
00:39:39.74\00:39:40.68
I think, what was that, 1987?
00:39:40.88\00:39:42.48
1987.
00:39:42.64\00:39:43.18
That's right.
00:39:43.58\00:39:47.35
and I think I was 36.
00:39:47.35\00:39:49.65
And you wrote that song, give
him glory, which is on another
00:39:49.65\00:39:53.62
project.
00:39:53.62\00:39:56.89
Wolf, I think he didn't like
my verse as good as his so he
00:39:56.89\00:40:01.03
wrote some better ones, but no
we combined and so we still use
00:40:01.03\00:40:05.97
it, we still give God the glory.
00:40:05.97\00:40:07.37
First angel's message, fear God
and give glory to him for the
00:40:07.60\00:40:11.44
hour of his judgment has come.
00:40:11.44\00:40:12.77
You and Melody
sound so nice together.
00:40:12.94\00:40:15.18
The voices just blend so
beautifully and she's still
00:40:15.54\00:40:19.21
singing for Jesus.
00:40:19.21\00:40:20.32
And if I had all that
hair I'd still look as young.
00:40:20.42\00:40:22.62
Oh, but you still look good.
00:40:23.02\00:40:24.12
You look great.
00:40:24.12\00:40:24.89
You look good.
00:40:24.99\00:40:25.85
Oh thank you, I was fishing.
00:40:26.69\00:40:28.19
You know, one of the things I
really like about this footage,
00:40:30.59\00:40:33.13
this is 1987 as you said,
is that that's where you and
00:40:33.16\00:40:36.90
Melody, when you went around
fundraising talking about the
00:40:36.90\00:40:39.43
ministry of 3ABn, the two of
you traveled around because your
00:40:39.43\00:40:41.77
wife had passed away.
00:40:41.77\00:40:42.87
3ABn was brand new at this
point and that's where you went
00:40:43.37\00:40:46.31
around to churches.
00:40:46.31\00:40:47.18
I mean you all were on
the road a lot, sang together.
00:40:47.41\00:40:49.74
To me that's just such a
beautiful thing, a remembrance
00:40:49.88\00:40:51.91
of like wow, back in the day
because Melody was there from
00:40:51.91\00:40:54.12
the beginning of 3ABn.
00:40:54.12\00:40:55.15
Bless her heart because she
would have to hear the story
00:40:55.32\00:40:58.22
over and over and over starting
in 1984, you know, then when we
00:40:58.22\00:41:02.06
go to churches because actually
we were singing together on
00:41:02.06\00:41:05.79
weekends and producing records
for people in Nashville during
00:41:05.79\00:41:09.46
the week because after
Mother died I quit construction
00:41:09.46\00:41:12.97
basically because I didn't
want her to be by herself.
00:41:12.97\00:41:15.20
So we went into ministry and so
we were traveling together but
00:41:15.64\00:41:19.21
bless her heart, she would fall
asleep because afterwards you'd
00:41:19.21\00:41:22.48
go to people's houses, there
were churches that said well
00:41:22.48\00:41:24.88
come home and we'd have groups
of people and we'd be telling
00:41:24.88\00:41:27.88
the 3ABn story, what God was
doing and what we were getting
00:41:27.88\00:41:31.32
ready to do and once it
was going up and she never
00:41:31.32\00:41:34.42
complained about it at all
and we put thousands of miles in
00:41:34.42\00:41:37.79
that old van we had and so we
had a little bed in the back so
00:41:37.79\00:41:41.46
when she'd get tired she could
sleep but I think the first
00:41:41.46\00:41:44.47
year we'd put close to 100,000
miles on the van going in every
00:41:44.47\00:41:48.54
church where we'd sing we'd
of course share the story about
00:41:48.54\00:41:51.57
3ABn and so she's been and you
know still singing for the Lord
00:41:51.57\00:41:57.41
and 8 kids later and now giving
us a little Danny grandson and
00:41:57.41\00:42:03.45
we've got more on the way
and so God is good, that's all I
00:42:03.45\00:42:08.32
can say.
00:42:08.32\00:42:08.89
Praise the Lord.
00:42:08.89\00:42:09.82
Speaking of family ministry
we have a family who's been
00:42:10.56\00:42:14.30
impacted by the ministry of
3ABn, what I love about this
00:42:14.30\00:42:17.87
role we're going to go to right
now is sometimes you can see
00:42:17.87\00:42:20.37
how 3ABn impacts an individual
and then that's a ripple effect
00:42:20.37\00:42:24.24
and that impacts other people
but in this instance 3ABn God
00:42:24.24\00:42:28.64
used the ministry of 3ABn to
impact an entire family and to
00:42:28.64\00:42:33.58
bring healing so let's go
to Carmelo and Tina and their
00:42:33.58\00:42:37.19
family's testimony right now.
00:42:37.19\00:42:38.82
My name is Tina and I grew up
in a home with a single mother
00:42:45.89\00:42:50.33
and my sister, grew up
Catholic, around my teenage
00:42:50.33\00:42:55.97
years I started reading the
Bible and by the time I was in
00:42:55.97\00:43:01.48
college I was baptized
as a Seventh Day Adventist.
00:43:01.48\00:43:03.98
I met Carmelo at work, thought
he was really handsome, we
00:43:04.88\00:43:08.55
continued to talk, we started
dating and before long we got
00:43:08.55\00:43:12.69
married.
00:43:12.69\00:43:13.15
My name is Carmelo and I'm
from Connecticut, I was born and
00:43:13.89\00:43:18.53
raised in an inner city and
my mom was a Christian woman who
00:43:18.53\00:43:24.47
brought me to church so in
my teenage years there was like
00:43:24.47\00:43:28.94
zero connection with God, I
didn't go to church at all, I
00:43:28.94\00:43:34.61
was more into doing my own
thing, it's not until I decided
00:43:34.61\00:43:40.28
to join the army where
God started to come into the
00:43:40.28\00:43:46.25
picture.
00:43:46.25\00:43:46.86
And when he came home he was
more willing to attend church
00:43:47.49\00:43:55.93
functions and starting to
attend church with me which was
00:43:55.93\00:44:00.94
nice, he set up Bible studies
together with my pastor and
00:44:00.94\00:44:08.04
began to dig and study
together with the pastor.
00:44:08.04\00:44:11.35
I remember one day I was coming
home from work and my wife was
00:44:12.21\00:44:17.12
like you have to hear what I
just heard from 3ABN, I heard
00:44:17.12\00:44:23.83
this testimony from Ian and
he's in the service and there's
00:44:23.83\00:44:29.76
this program that they're about
to start and I think it would
00:44:29.76\00:44:36.10
be great for you and I said
well what is this and she was
00:44:36.10\00:44:40.38
like you should really
look into going into school of
00:44:40.38\00:44:43.95
discipleship, it's a one week
training program to how to be a
00:44:43.95\00:44:49.08
disciple.
00:44:49.08\00:44:49.52
3ABN helped to disciple my
husband and allow God to meet
00:44:50.99\00:44:58.63
him where he was, capture
his heart, get him in the word.
00:44:58.63\00:45:04.53
My family just sees the
difference, they notice the
00:45:06.10\00:45:09.84
difference to the point
where my son says who are you,
00:45:09.84\00:45:16.01
where's my dad, so him saying
those comments I know for sure
00:45:16.98\00:45:24.75
that I've been changed,
you know God has changed me for
00:45:24.75\00:45:29.62
sure.
00:45:29.62\00:45:30.36
Growing up for me it was very
difficult to relate to my dad
00:45:30.89\00:45:34.60
because since he wasn't there
very often and so when he came
00:45:34.60\00:45:39.07
back from 3ABN and I had went
we had something in common to
00:45:39.07\00:45:43.14
talk about, we had something
that we could connect with and
00:45:43.14\00:45:46.24
then we started watching it
together and you know we had
00:45:46.24\00:45:48.94
these light hearted
conversations and it started
00:45:48.94\00:45:51.08
like breaking the ice because I
noticed like my brother and him
00:45:51.08\00:45:55.58
couldn't connect with like
sports and men's stuff but I
00:45:55.58\00:45:58.62
was just kind of like no that's
like my dad but I just, he's a
00:45:58.62\00:46:02.06
stranger to me but now it's not
like that anymore like I can, I
00:46:02.06\00:46:07.96
feel more comfortable around
him, we can talk about more
00:46:07.96\00:46:11.33
things and we can talk about
3ABN and we can talk about how
00:46:11.33\00:46:14.94
to share it and different
ideas and bounce them off and we
00:46:14.94\00:46:17.44
laugh together, you know we
make jokes and it feels like a
00:46:17.44\00:46:20.64
lot closer than it did before.
00:46:20.64\00:46:22.04
Well really what's in my
mind is I love 3ABN, 3ABN has
00:46:22.04\00:46:30.92
ministered to our family in so
many ways, just giving us truth
00:46:30.92\00:46:37.46
filled messages that encourage
and inspire, inviting us to
00:46:37.46\00:46:48.74
come and and be discipled to
learn how to reach other people
00:46:48.74\00:46:54.64
with the gospel in meaningful
ways, and it's just been
00:46:54.64\00:46:58.85
wonderful.
00:46:58.85\00:46:59.41
So we watch 3ABN together.
00:47:00.05\00:47:04.82
We use the 3ABN study guides
to do Bible studies with people,
00:47:05.05\00:47:10.06
and that's been a blessing.
00:47:10.06\00:47:11.73
My daughter is sharing
about the School of discipleship
00:47:12.86\00:47:17.20
She shared with a friend, and
her friend actually applied and
00:47:17.80\00:47:22.37
came to the last class, and she
returned with just a smile and
00:47:22.37\00:47:28.91
a joy that I had
not seen in her before.
00:47:28.91\00:47:31.18
I think for each family there's
always that one moment that God
00:47:31.58\00:47:35.72
uses or one thing that God uses
to bring together or to bring
00:47:35.72\00:47:39.72
them closer to him, and for us
it was 3ABN, because me and my
00:47:39.72\00:47:43.36
mom would watch 3ABN together,
and just going and getting
00:47:43.36\00:47:48.16
trained the same and
being able to connect that way.
00:47:48.16\00:47:51.80
For us, 3ABN is what God
used to heal us and bring us
00:47:52.17\00:47:57.84
together as where we are now.
00:47:57.84\00:48:00.21
3ABN, 40 years of
changing lives for eternity.
00:48:02.48\00:48:06.85
Amen.
00:48:08.62\00:48:09.18
Praise the Lord.
00:48:09.95\00:48:10.42
Amazing.
00:48:10.85\00:48:11.35
Powerful, isn't it?
00:48:11.35\00:48:11.82
Beautiful testimony.
00:48:11.89\00:48:13.05
Really, that's a two-hander.
00:48:13.99\00:48:15.79
God used 3ABN
to heal our family.
00:48:17.49\00:48:19.49
Look at that.
00:48:20.00\00:48:20.83
Praise the Lord.
00:48:21.60\00:48:22.50
It is powerful, for sure.
00:48:23.00\00:48:25.33
Those are
encouraging, aren't they?
00:48:25.80\00:48:26.97
Absolutely, and because of
you, because you are part of the
00:48:28.40\00:48:31.77
3ABN family, because you
join hands together and pray for
00:48:31.77\00:48:35.78
this ministry and support
this ministry, people just like
00:48:35.78\00:48:40.48
Carmelo and Tina and
their family can receive that
00:48:40.48\00:48:43.72
healing.
00:48:43.72\00:48:43.95
Praise the Lord.
00:48:44.15\00:48:44.89
We hear testimonies of lives
that have been changed over and
00:48:45.35\00:48:48.26
over again.
00:48:48.26\00:48:49.02
This testimony came from Puerto
Rico, and Pastor John Dinzey
00:48:49.46\00:48:53.16
voiced it, and we did just
a little reenactment on this
00:48:53.16\00:48:56.16
incredible testimony.
00:48:56.16\00:48:57.60
In the early 1990s, 3ABN
purchased Channel 21 in San
00:49:04.21\00:49:08.74
Juan, Puerto Rico, and one
of the people whose life was
00:49:08.74\00:49:11.68
transformed was Lourdes.
00:49:11.68\00:49:12.98
She used to sing in clubs
at night, worked long hours to
00:49:13.58\00:49:17.52
make ends meet.
00:49:17.52\00:49:18.62
Lourdes had a son and a
daughter, and they stayed home
00:49:19.35\00:49:23.32
alone at night, and her son
began to hang around with the
00:49:23.32\00:49:27.66
wrong crowds.
00:49:27.66\00:49:28.46
He began to sell drugs and use
drugs and wound up in juvenile
00:49:29.26\00:49:34.57
prison.
00:49:34.57\00:49:35.24
She couldn't handle this
overwhelming guilt, and to add
00:49:36.17\00:49:39.51
to the weight, her daughter
said, if you had been home, my
00:49:39.51\00:49:43.21
brother would not be in prison.
00:49:43.21\00:49:45.85
Lourdes was so depressed with
all of her problems and her son
00:49:46.55\00:49:49.58
in jail.
00:49:49.58\00:49:54.92
working, she looked at
the sleeping pills and was
00:49:54.92\00:49:58.79
considering taking all
of them to never wake up.
00:49:58.79\00:50:02.56
As she considered taking all
of the pills to end her life,
00:50:02.76\00:50:05.93
Lourdes thought about her
daughter and her son and the
00:50:06.53\00:50:10.07
suffering they would go through
without their mother, and
00:50:10.07\00:50:13.11
decided to look for something
to watch on TV, and then
00:50:13.11\00:50:17.55
something miraculous happened.
00:50:17.55\00:50:19.28
Surfing through channels,
she found 3ABN, began to watch.
00:50:20.12\00:50:24.39
She had never seen it before,
and now she was encouraged as
00:50:24.72\00:50:29.19
she began to listen to the
programming, and one of the
00:50:29.19\00:50:32.66
speakers she was listening to
said, why are you carrying this
00:50:32.66\00:50:36.67
heavy load?
00:50:36.67\00:50:37.47
It seemed to Lourdes that Jesus
was talking directly to her,
00:50:37.87\00:50:42.17
and she said, yes, I am
carrying this load alone.
00:50:42.84\00:50:46.94
I don't want to
carry this load alone.
00:50:47.18\00:50:49.98
Help me, Jesus.
00:50:49.98\00:50:51.48
Lourdes fell on her knees,
weeping, tears streaming down
00:50:52.78\00:50:56.79
her face, and she said, yes,
Jesus, please take all these
00:50:56.79\00:51:02.12
burdens from me.
00:51:02.12\00:51:03.09
I can't handle them on my own.
00:51:03.12\00:51:05.13
And she let go, and she began
to feel at peace that she never
00:51:05.56\00:51:10.57
felt before, and that night,
she slept peacefully unlike
00:51:10.57\00:51:14.97
ever before.
00:51:14.97\00:51:16.10
The next day, Lourdes was
driving and stopped at a light,
00:51:16.10\00:51:19.77
and the lights last a long
time in Puerto Rico, and as she
00:51:20.68\00:51:24.41
looked around, she saw a
Seventh-day Adventist Church
00:51:24.41\00:51:27.82
off to her right that she had
never seen before, and said, I
00:51:27.82\00:51:31.42
am going to that church.
00:51:31.42\00:51:32.55
She started going to the
church, and they were having an
00:51:33.09\00:51:36.06
evangelistic campaign.
00:51:36.06\00:51:37.16
At the end of the campaign,
Lourdes was baptized a Seventh
00:51:37.66\00:51:42.00
-day Adventist Christian, and
to that I say, praise the Lord.
00:51:42.00\00:51:47.04
What a powerful testimony.
00:51:53.98\00:51:56.38
It makes me think about how
intimately God is involved in
00:51:57.15\00:52:02.18
each of our lives, so much
so that he sees us when we're
00:52:02.18\00:52:05.95
hurting and in pain and has
an answer for that, and I'm so
00:52:05.95\00:52:10.99
thankful that 3ABN was a
part of that solution for her.
00:52:10.99\00:52:15.60
God has been so good
throughout all these years.
00:52:15.60\00:52:20.30
Tell us about how
good God has been.
00:52:21.14\00:52:23.71
I wrote a little chorus some
time ago, and sometimes I like
00:52:24.44\00:52:29.28
to just sit in the evening and
just maybe, when everything's
00:52:29.28\00:52:32.38
quiet, and just talk to the
Lord, and he kind of gave me
00:52:32.38\00:52:35.85
this little song.
00:52:35.85\00:52:36.82
You've been good to
me through all the years.
00:52:37.32\00:52:43.46
You've been good to me
through joys and tears.
00:52:44.69\00:52:49.56
It's hard for me to
get through this, sorry.
00:52:49.93\00:52:51.97
I want to thank you,
Lord, for all you've done.
00:52:52.53\00:52:57.34
You've been good to
me through all the years.
00:52:58.61\00:53:05.81
You've been good to
me through all the years.
00:53:06.75\00:53:12.75
And he has.
00:53:12.75\00:53:14.22
Has he been good to you?
00:53:14.89\00:53:15.89
He's been good to me
through joys and tears.
00:53:16.46\00:53:22.33
I want to thank you,
Lord, for all you've done.
00:53:23.73\00:53:29.04
You've been good to
me through all the years.
00:53:30.37\00:53:38.35
I love you.
00:53:38.35\00:53:41.52
I love you, Lord.
00:53:42.18\00:53:45.12
I love you, Lord, I really do.
00:53:46.12\00:53:50.23
I love you.
00:53:52.06\00:53:55.46
I love you, Lord.
00:53:56.20\00:53:59.20
I love you, Lord, I really do.
00:54:00.10\00:54:05.24
Wow!
00:54:07.64\00:54:08.11
It just takes you back so many
years and what can you say but
00:54:09.11\00:54:13.01
God has been good to us through
all the years and I know He's
00:54:13.01\00:54:16.79
been good to you.
00:54:16.79\00:54:17.79
We just should go back to the
old song says, let's count our
00:54:18.25\00:54:21.22
blessings
instead of sheep, right?
00:54:21.22\00:54:23.79
So God has been good to us.
00:54:24.19\00:54:26.23
You know Mr. Danny, a question
for you and thank you for
00:54:27.50\00:54:30.23
bringing your guitar.
00:54:30.23\00:54:33.13
Thank you for doing that.
00:54:36.34\00:54:37.74
It just ministers to me in
such a powerful way but talking
00:54:37.84\00:54:41.14
about God's goodness
through the years, when you were
00:54:41.14\00:54:43.68
impressed 40 years ago, did you
have any idea of how big 3ABN
00:54:43.68\00:54:47.75
would be?
00:54:47.75\00:54:50.42
networks, television networks
reaching the world, did you
00:54:50.42\00:54:53.79
even think about
how big 3ABN would be?
00:54:53.79\00:54:55.42
No, I really didn't look
any just one day at a time.
00:54:55.42\00:54:58.79
I just knew what I was supposed
to do and I went forward and 40
00:54:58.89\00:55:02.26
years later I say, you've
been good to me through all the
00:55:02.26\00:55:07.57
years.
00:55:07.57\00:55:08.47
You've been good to me
through joys and tears.
00:55:09.84\00:55:15.74
I want to thank you
Lord for all you've done.
00:55:16.68\00:55:22.25
You've been good to
me through all the years.
00:55:23.95\00:55:30.76
And he has, he's been good to
me all of these years in spite
00:55:35.13\00:55:38.33
of us and that's what I
want you to keep in mind today.
00:55:38.33\00:55:41.07
We're not here
talking about me and whatever.
00:55:41.24\00:55:43.77
Just the fact of
what God has done.
00:55:43.87\00:55:45.64
He's willing to use anybody.
00:55:45.91\00:55:47.38
When you're willing to be used
of God, you go forward and I
00:55:47.81\00:55:51.18
promise you God will bless you
abundantly more than you could
00:55:51.18\00:55:54.22
ever ask or think.
00:55:54.22\00:55:55.32
Amen.
00:55:55.58\00:55:56.12
God wants to use each one.
00:55:56.65\00:55:58.15
Just a willing vessel, an open
heart, a willingness to say,
00:55:58.15\00:56:01.29
yes Lord Jesus,
here am I, send me.
00:56:01.56\00:56:04.23
We have a full another hour and
a half coming up with roles and
00:56:04.43\00:56:08.46
testimonies.
00:56:08.46\00:56:08.86
Amen.
00:56:08.86\00:56:12.73
So stay with us.
00:56:13.00\00:56:13.77
We'll be right back.
00:56:13.87\00:56:14.77
Amen.
