Hello, and welcome back to
the 2nd hour of 3ABN Behind the
00:00:10.74\00:00:14.68
Scenes.
00:00:14.68\00:00:17.18
And thank you again for
being a part of the 3ABN family.
00:00:17.38\00:00:20.22
We're just kind of maybe
hanging out in your living
00:00:20.65\00:00:22.25
room.
00:00:22.25\00:00:24.82
And it's a blessing to be able
to be together for one cause
00:00:24.85\00:00:28.29
and that's to spread the Gospel
of Jesus Christ around the
00:00:28.29\00:00:31.63
world.
00:00:31.63\00:00:32.29
Thank you again for your
continued prayers and your
00:00:32.73\00:00:35.26
financial support
for this ministry.
00:00:35.26\00:00:37.23
Actually, it's
your ministry, 3ABN.
00:00:37.67\00:00:39.83
And we couldn't
do it without you.
00:00:39.93\00:00:41.14
And of course, the Lord Jesus
Christ is the captain of this
00:00:41.20\00:00:44.27
ship, 3ABN.
00:00:44.27\00:00:45.51
And we just all want
to be faithful, don't we?
00:00:45.51\00:00:47.54
Faithful to the very end.
00:00:47.78\00:00:49.21
Yes, the world seems to be
in chaos and there are a lot of
00:00:49.21\00:00:51.91
things going on.
00:00:51.91\00:00:52.81
But what a message
we all have to share.
00:00:52.95\00:00:55.42
That's from the Word of God.
00:00:55.75\00:00:57.19
And that's one that Jesus
Christ will rescue us from this
00:00:57.35\00:01:00.26
world.
00:01:00.26\00:01:04.46
moment of every day.
00:01:04.46\00:01:05.99
Joe, we have switched out
some of our 3ABN family here.
00:01:06.46\00:01:09.16
And boy, it's just great to
see everyone here this evening.
00:01:09.50\00:01:11.23
We have.
00:01:11.27\00:01:11.77
We added a few more.
00:01:11.80\00:01:12.87
You can see we're kind of
tight around the table here.
00:01:12.90\00:01:14.37
Yay!
00:01:14.37\00:01:14.70
It's fun.
00:01:14.70\00:01:15.24
It's family time.
00:01:15.44\00:01:17.24
We have Pastor
John and Angela Loma.
00:01:17.34\00:01:19.57
Can you all look at
all cute with the green?
00:01:19.57\00:01:21.41
Yeah, green tie, yes.
00:01:21.44\00:01:22.74
Green, green.
00:01:22.74\00:01:23.35
Yes, it's great.
00:01:23.45\00:01:24.18
Thank you.
00:01:24.48\00:01:24.88
Good to be here.
00:01:24.91\00:01:25.88
We're trying to
look like we're a couple.
00:01:26.92\00:01:28.42
Which has been
the case for 41 years.
00:01:30.22\00:01:31.82
I was going to ask.
00:01:31.82\00:01:32.52
Yes, it's just over 40.
00:01:32.79\00:01:33.62
Is it 41?
00:01:33.62\00:01:33.79
41.
00:01:34.26\00:01:34.66
It's a long time.
00:01:34.76\00:01:35.66
That is a long time.
00:01:35.86\00:01:36.89
You want to keep going?
00:01:37.16\00:01:37.79
I want to keep going.
00:01:37.99\00:01:38.96
I do.
00:01:39.13\00:01:39.79
Of course, you're the Director
of World Evangelism for 3ABN.
00:01:40.50\00:01:42.93
And of course, also the Senior
Pastor of our Thompsonville
00:01:42.96\00:01:45.43
Seventh -day Adventist Church
which is our local conference
00:01:45.43\00:01:47.20
church right here.
00:01:47.20\00:01:47.94
Right across the
street here from the studio.
00:01:48.20\00:01:49.94
That's right.
00:01:50.34\00:01:53.54
locally for, my
goodness, over 20 years.
00:01:53.54\00:01:55.58
21, 21.
00:01:55.58\00:01:55.61
But in ministry as a
whole, almost, what, 30?
00:01:56.98\00:01:59.35
37, a total of 38 years.
00:01:59.51\00:02:01.05
It's a long time.
00:02:01.05\00:02:01.38
It's a long time.
00:02:01.75\00:02:02.62
It's a long time in ministry.
00:02:02.82\00:02:04.45
Thank you for your faithfulness.
00:02:04.65\00:02:05.75
Of course, you, Angie, are
an editor and a host, producer,
00:02:05.89\00:02:08.66
there in radio.
00:02:08.79\00:02:09.36
Yes, yes.
00:02:09.62\00:02:10.63
I love my work.
00:02:10.63\00:02:11.99
I love what I
do, editing, hosting.
00:02:12.29\00:02:14.66
And just, it's ministry behind
the scenes because you're not
00:02:15.43\00:02:18.30
in front of a television.
00:02:18.30\00:02:19.47
So, we hear from people from
all over who are blessed while
00:02:19.93\00:02:23.64
they're driving, truck drivers,
so many people are blessed
00:02:23.64\00:02:28.24
while they're
listening to radio.
00:02:28.24\00:02:29.71
Absolutely.
00:02:29.78\00:02:30.31
Thank you.
00:02:30.31\00:02:31.08
It's good to be a
part of the family.
00:02:31.21\00:02:32.51
Radio is not obsolete.
00:02:32.88\00:02:34.52
It's very relevant.
00:02:34.95\00:02:35.75
That's right.
00:02:35.95\00:02:36.22
No, no, amen.
00:02:36.58\00:02:37.42
Podcasts and all that
is really relevant today.
00:02:37.72\00:02:40.09
Well, so glad you're
here tonight coming around the
00:02:41.46\00:02:43.49
table, Pastor Ryan Day.
00:02:43.49\00:02:45.26
And Ryan, you are the general
manager of Praising Music
00:02:45.36\00:02:48.53
Network and glad
you're here tonight.
00:02:48.53\00:02:49.73
Amen.
00:02:50.10\00:02:53.67
able to share this with family.
00:02:53.67\00:02:54.74
And we're going to be
talking about the School of
00:02:54.77\00:02:56.44
Discipleship.
00:02:56.44\00:02:56.84
Oh, yes, sir.
00:02:56.97\00:02:57.87
We are excited about that.
00:02:57.91\00:02:59.64
We're going to actually launch
with that in just a moment.
00:02:59.64\00:03:01.54
Coming around the table, Ian
Vandervalk, and we're so glad
00:03:01.84\00:03:04.38
to have you here tonight.
00:03:04.38\00:03:05.45
You wear several hats
at 3BN, your producer.
00:03:05.81\00:03:08.88
He actually answers some prayer
calls upstairs in Pastoral.
00:03:09.52\00:03:12.15
And you keep track of, I don't
know what the title is, but
00:03:12.65\00:03:15.46
like all our deadlines.
00:03:15.46\00:03:16.59
Yeah, all the projects that
we have for 3BN, which is many.
00:03:16.69\00:03:20.73
But yeah, I just assist our
production manager, Jorge, with
00:03:21.50\00:03:24.90
that and just kind of, you
know, give him a heads up on
00:03:24.90\00:03:27.80
certain projects that we have
coming in deadlines and just
00:03:27.80\00:03:30.24
making sure we try to
meet them to the best.
00:03:30.24\00:03:32.41
But, you know, production
is ever-changing and sometimes,
00:03:32.61\00:03:35.04
you know, it can be
difficult to follow.
00:03:35.04\00:03:36.41
But, you know, we do our best.
00:03:36.44\00:03:37.75
Yeah, because you deal with
a lot of different work with a
00:03:38.15\00:03:39.91
lot of the networks
here, of course, 3BN.
00:03:39.91\00:03:41.92
So there's a lot of
moving parts and pieces to hold.
00:03:41.98\00:03:44.15
And he's the
assistant coordinator for SAAD.
00:03:44.22\00:03:46.05
That's right.
00:03:46.29\00:03:46.82
And Ryan, the
coordinator for SAAD, thank you.
00:03:47.92\00:03:50.23
Absolutely.
00:03:50.53\00:03:51.19
And then last but not least,
right next to me, my sister
00:03:51.73\00:03:54.23
Addie Wiesner.
00:03:54.23\00:03:55.20
And Addie, could be a newer
face for you here at 3ABN, not
00:03:55.56\00:03:59.87
that she's new to 3ABN.
00:03:59.87\00:04:01.77
But you started in our
programming department and then
00:04:02.14\00:04:05.04
transitioned to our
donation center department.
00:04:05.04\00:04:07.51
And recently you
stepped in as our manager.
00:04:08.01\00:04:10.21
So we're so glad to
have you here tonight.
00:04:10.51\00:04:12.08
Praise the Lord.
00:04:12.28\00:04:13.05
Thanks for this opportunity
to be here, Ms. Jill.
00:04:13.35\00:04:15.78
Absolutely.
00:04:16.35\00:04:19.35
many years?
00:04:19.35\00:04:20.06
Since 2019.
00:04:20.42\00:04:21.42
Wow.
00:04:21.56\00:04:21.96
Has it been that long?
00:04:22.29\00:04:23.29
Yeah, time goes by in a hurry.
00:04:23.29\00:04:24.66
Time flies.
00:04:25.96\00:04:26.59
He's our church pianist too.
00:04:26.59\00:04:28.36
That's right.
00:04:28.50\00:04:28.93
All wear many hats.
00:04:30.07\00:04:31.30
It's a blessing to
be part of evangelism.
00:04:32.00\00:04:33.40
But Jill, maybe we should just
talk just briefly before we go
00:04:34.30\00:04:36.40
into the School of Discipleship.
00:04:36.40\00:04:37.77
And I know we were talking
at the end of the first hour and
00:04:37.84\00:04:40.84
that was about one of these
kind of incredible evangelism
00:04:40.84\00:04:43.61
opportunities that we have here.
00:04:43.61\00:04:44.81
You want to talk to us a little
bit about the details in case
00:04:44.85\00:04:46.55
you're just now joining us for
the second hour and didn't hear
00:04:46.55\00:04:50.19
what happened in the first hour.
00:04:50.19\00:04:51.39
Absolutely.
00:04:52.09\00:04:55.56
You can get one
case of 200 booklets.
00:04:55.56\00:04:59.96
We're going to split the case.
00:05:00.36\00:05:01.40
100 booklets of the
truth about abortion.
00:05:01.53\00:05:04.13
100 booklets about can the
Christian Church affirm LGBTQ?
00:05:04.70\00:05:08.30
And we're going to slide in,
since we have to open the box
00:05:08.77\00:05:11.54
anyway to split up the case.
00:05:11.54\00:05:13.21
We're going to slide in the CD.
00:05:13.58\00:05:15.48
Brand new.
00:05:15.54\00:05:19.78
Christmas hymns.
00:05:19.78\00:05:20.88
Just religious and it's the
orchestra, the Prague Symphony
00:05:21.02\00:05:24.55
Orchestra.
00:05:24.55\00:05:28.19
instrumental orchestra music.
00:05:28.19\00:05:30.03
So all of that for the
cost of $30 for shipping.
00:05:30.46\00:05:34.30
We'll send that to you.
00:05:34.76\00:05:35.76
You can call the
call center right now.
00:05:35.76\00:05:37.60
618-627-4651.
00:05:37.70\00:05:41.04
That's 618-627-4651.
00:05:41.64\00:05:44.47
And we also have, we talked
with Aunt Francine the first
00:05:45.04\00:05:47.44
hour about her brand new Bible
study guides that just came in
00:05:47.44\00:05:51.65
today in the shipment.
00:05:51.65\00:05:53.88
So you can get, this is a
quarter with 13 lessons in
00:05:53.88\00:05:58.59
here, or you could get all four
quarters because we have four
00:05:58.59\00:06:02.09
of them.
00:06:02.09\00:06:02.86
So, and this is really about
salvation and finding Jesus.
00:06:03.29\00:06:07.30
This is that
first year cycle there.
00:06:07.66\00:06:09.83
So when you call us at 3Band,
we can give you details on that
00:06:10.53\00:06:13.70
as well.
00:06:13.70\00:06:16.94
say a good suggested donation
price for these Bible lessons
00:06:16.94\00:06:19.77
that Jill was just mentioning.
00:06:19.77\00:06:20.78
To get a whole quarter, I
believe is just $25 suggested
00:06:21.11\00:06:24.11
donation that includes all four
quarters and the shipping to
00:06:24.11\00:06:27.82
anywhere here in the United
States of America, so well
00:06:27.82\00:06:30.12
done.
00:06:30.12\00:06:33.05
and it's got some, I remember
as a kid, I love stickers.
00:06:33.05\00:06:35.26
You see that, yeah,
all these fun stickers.
00:06:35.39\00:06:37.06
There's a little fish and looks
like ginger there wearing a
00:06:37.49\00:06:39.76
little sailor hat.
00:06:39.76\00:06:40.50
And that goes
along with each lesson.
00:06:40.93\00:06:42.96
It's in a nice folder, all the
lessons are in here, but just
00:06:43.06\00:06:45.77
really fantastic.
00:06:45.77\00:06:48.84
one, you can do one quarter at
a time and that's of course $10
00:06:48.84\00:06:52.14
suggested donation includes
the shipping to you as well.
00:06:52.14\00:06:54.81
But I tell you, we believe
in young people here at 3ABN and
00:06:55.28\00:06:58.68
just appreciate the work of
Aunt Francine and her team to
00:06:58.68\00:07:01.65
put these together
because this is just fantastic.
00:07:01.65\00:07:04.12
I mean, you're looking at the
illustrations and stuff we're
00:07:04.19\00:07:05.89
looking at earlier,
you were too Pastor Ryan.
00:07:05.89\00:07:07.59
I mean, well
done, very well done.
00:07:07.76\00:07:09.32
You know, when the Bible
says train up a child in the way
00:07:09.89\00:07:12.09
they should go, this
is a grand opportunity.
00:07:12.09\00:07:14.10
And I think Ryan
was talking about that.
00:07:14.50\00:07:16.13
What was the lessons
that people often the youth...
00:07:16.13\00:07:18.43
Well, for evangelistically, the
Truth for Youth series has been
00:07:18.43\00:07:20.77
very popular.
00:07:20.77\00:07:23.91
legitimately for
younger children.
00:07:23.91\00:07:25.47
And when you said quarters,
some people might not know what
00:07:26.24\00:07:28.24
that meant.
00:07:28.24\00:07:29.18
You know, the Sabbath School
lesson for the Adventist Church
00:07:29.44\00:07:31.01
is done four times a year,
13 weeks, summarizing to 52.
00:07:31.01\00:07:35.42
So one, two,
three, four quarters.
00:07:35.52\00:07:37.52
And so when Greg and Joe
mentioned the quarters, every
00:07:37.79\00:07:40.49
13 weeks you can start a
new lesson study and a new theme
00:07:40.49\00:07:43.76
and it's
beautifully put together.
00:07:43.76\00:07:45.13
If I was a kid, I'd study it.
00:07:45.16\00:07:46.80
Oh yeah, there's some fun
little games in there too.
00:07:46.80\00:07:49.20
And so yeah, just
great for the young people.
00:07:49.20\00:07:51.07
So yeah, as Jill mentioned,
as you call the call center this
00:07:51.30\00:07:53.20
evening, the graphics there
on the bottom of the screen, 618
00:07:53.20\00:07:55.67
-627 -4651.
00:07:55.67\00:07:57.54
Angie, I wanted to literally
say that because of radio.
00:07:58.34\00:08:00.04
Thank you.
00:08:00.11\00:08:04.21
screen.
00:08:04.21\00:08:05.21
That's right.
00:08:05.25\00:08:05.91
So they're open this evening.
00:08:05.95\00:08:06.82
And again, as we ended that
first hour, as Mr. Danny, you
00:08:07.18\00:08:10.22
heard, yeah, I'm going to
say his appeal for funds for the
00:08:10.22\00:08:13.82
ministry of 3ABN.
00:08:13.82\00:08:15.19
We thank you again in advance
for supporting this ministry.
00:08:15.42\00:08:18.29
It's because of you that
3ABN is able to reach the entire
00:08:18.29\00:08:22.26
world.
00:08:22.26\00:08:22.63
It's amazing.
00:08:22.70\00:08:23.23
10 networks.
00:08:23.60\00:08:24.63
That's television networks.
00:08:25.20\00:08:26.27
5 radio networks reaching the
world 24 hours a day, 7 days a
00:08:26.70\00:08:31.37
week, 365 days a year.
00:08:31.37\00:08:34.04
It costs money.
00:08:34.31\00:08:35.11
We all know that, right?
00:08:35.41\00:08:36.54
And so thank you that 3ABN has
been able to expand and able to
00:08:36.64\00:08:40.02
go forward in these times.
00:08:40.02\00:08:41.52
So again, thank
you so much for that.
00:08:41.55\00:08:42.88
So let's start with
3ABN School of Discipleship.
00:08:43.49\00:08:45.85
We've had a couple already, but
we have our upcoming school in
00:08:46.05\00:08:49.19
March.
00:08:49.19\00:08:49.59
So Brian, we'll start with you.
00:08:49.89\00:08:50.76
Talk to us about that.
00:08:50.76\00:08:51.56
Yeah, we're excited about
the upcoming 3ABN School of
00:08:51.93\00:08:55.20
Discipleship.
00:08:55.20\00:08:55.66
We call it S.O.D.
00:08:55.80\00:08:56.80
for short, S.O.D.
00:08:57.07\00:08:58.30
And we, this will
be our fourth class.
00:08:58.70\00:09:01.80
We've had one
last year in October.
00:09:01.97\00:09:04.31
We had another one
this year in March.
00:09:04.41\00:09:06.01
And then we had a
July session as well.
00:09:06.21\00:09:07.98
And so we're preparing
for March 14 through 23.
00:09:08.08\00:09:11.75
Put that on your calendars.
00:09:12.05\00:09:13.25
March 14 through 23,
right here on 3ABN campus.
00:09:13.31\00:09:17.39
The website is open.
00:09:18.39\00:09:19.89
So go to 3ABNSOD.com.
00:09:19.92\00:09:22.59
You can apply today.
00:09:22.89\00:09:23.96
And of course,
that's a one -week session.
00:09:24.43\00:09:26.76
We house you here.
00:09:27.03\00:09:27.96
We feed you here.
00:09:28.00\00:09:29.13
We open up the
spiritual fire hydrant.
00:09:29.50\00:09:32.03
And for an entire week,
it's called an intensive for a
00:09:32.20\00:09:35.04
reason.
00:09:35.04\00:09:35.60
Not that it's so intensive
that you can't take it.
00:09:36.07\00:09:38.44
It's intensive in the
sense that, again, you receive
00:09:38.71\00:09:40.94
probably a full semester worth
of information, and probably a
00:09:40.94\00:09:45.18
little bit more than a full
semester worth of information,
00:09:45.18\00:09:47.72
and transformation.
00:09:48.95\00:09:50.02
I don't want to say information
because I love the name of
00:09:50.12\00:09:52.62
Pastor Loma King's class, which
by the way, he's going to be an
00:09:52.62\00:09:56.19
instructor this year as well.
00:09:56.19\00:09:57.46
He was for our
March session this year.
00:09:57.49\00:09:59.89
And for March of next
year, he will be as well.
00:10:00.20\00:10:02.10
From information to
transformation, which I'm going
00:10:02.33\00:10:04.03
to give you an
opportunity to talk about.
00:10:04.03\00:10:05.60
But it's not just
about information.
00:10:05.97\00:10:07.67
We're all about transformation
and making disciples for Jesus
00:10:07.84\00:10:11.01
Christ.
00:10:11.01\00:10:15.48
from how to study the Bible,
where Pastor James Rafferty
00:10:15.48\00:10:18.18
takes you step by step through
how to properly study the
00:10:18.18\00:10:21.25
Bible.
00:10:21.25\00:10:24.19
How to be the best
evangelistic disciple possible.
00:10:24.22\00:10:28.39
How do we share Christ?
00:10:28.72\00:10:30.09
How do we share the good
news of Jesus Christ in an
00:10:30.13\00:10:32.86
appropriate, a tactful,
methodical way that we can
00:10:32.86\00:10:36.06
actually win
souls for Jesus Christ.
00:10:36.06\00:10:37.87
We'll dive into
some church history.
00:10:38.20\00:10:39.77
We're going to be getting into
the health message with Miss
00:10:39.87\00:10:42.07
Recy Rafferty.
00:10:42.07\00:10:45.77
class.
00:10:45.77\00:10:48.68
something special
as well this year.
00:10:48.68\00:10:51.31
We might even be able to get
my little brother Dakota back
00:10:51.61\00:10:53.75
here.
00:10:53.75\00:10:57.65
some public
evangelism presentations.
00:10:57.65\00:10:59.92
And we're going to get
into biblical apologetics.
00:11:00.32\00:11:02.69
Again, this is a power-packed
week of transformative
00:11:02.96\00:11:07.50
experience in Jesus Christ.
00:11:07.50\00:11:09.16
Many people ask me, I want
to be stronger in the Lord.
00:11:09.50\00:11:12.70
I want to take my relationship
with Jesus to the next level.
00:11:12.83\00:11:15.04
I want to be the best
follower and disciple I can be.
00:11:15.30\00:11:17.71
That's what the 3ABN School
of Discipleship is all about.
00:11:18.07\00:11:21.64
And so again, March 14 to 23,
go to 3ABNSOD.com and you can
00:11:21.88\00:11:28.12
click on the little tab at the
top that says, apply, and you
00:11:28.12\00:11:31.49
can apply for the school today.
00:11:31.49\00:11:32.75
The deadline is
February 28th, February 28th.
00:11:33.05\00:11:37.63
So if you're going to send
in that application, get it as
00:11:37.63\00:11:39.93
soon as possible.
00:11:39.93\00:11:40.66
We've already started
accepting some people.
00:11:40.96\00:11:42.93
We still have
some spots available.
00:11:43.23\00:11:44.80
So get those applications
in as soon as possible.
00:11:45.00\00:11:47.40
It's a great opportunity for
you to send your grandson, your
00:11:47.67\00:11:50.57
son, your daughter, a
family member, even yourself.
00:11:50.57\00:11:52.87
Come out as a family.
00:11:52.91\00:11:54.11
We will accept anyone and
everyone that is hungry and
00:11:54.44\00:11:57.38
excited for Jesus Christ.
00:11:57.38\00:11:58.48
Of course, there
is a vetting process.
00:11:58.55\00:12:00.25
And of course, we do have
references that we ask you to
00:12:00.25\00:12:00.28
send in.
00:12:04.05\00:12:07.12
follow.
00:12:07.12\00:12:09.99
And so, Ian, if you want to
tell us a little bit about what
00:12:10.43\00:12:12.06
they can experience when
they come here, day-to-day
00:12:12.06\00:12:14.66
activities, and what makes
this program really special.
00:12:14.66\00:12:17.10
You know, it was, I want to
kind of piggyback on what you
00:12:17.50\00:12:20.20
were saying because just
the other day I had a phone call
00:12:20.20\00:12:22.20
from a woman and she was asking
me and she's telling me, you
00:12:22.20\00:12:25.21
know, questions or asking
me questions about the school
00:12:25.21\00:12:27.11
discipleship.
00:12:27.11\00:12:27.91
But she's a Bible worker in her
conference and she, but one of
00:12:28.34\00:12:31.35
the things that she said is she
was like, Ian, I don't want to
00:12:31.35\00:12:33.98
be just about numbers.
00:12:33.98\00:12:35.32
You know, I don't want to just
be giving Bible studies just to
00:12:35.62\00:12:38.19
get people into the church.
00:12:38.19\00:12:39.19
I really want to
know what to do more.
00:12:39.35\00:12:40.82
And I said, I know exactly
what you're talking about.
00:12:41.09\00:12:43.43
You know, you want to know
how to transform hearts and not
00:12:43.73\00:12:46.23
just bring people into the
church and have them, you know,
00:12:46.23\00:12:48.90
they come in.
00:12:48.90\00:12:49.86
And if they're not properly
nurtured, you know, they're
00:12:50.10\00:12:52.30
going to leave
the church eventually.
00:12:52.30\00:12:53.64
And that's really what this
school discipleship is about.
00:12:54.20\00:12:57.17
It's not just about numbers.
00:12:57.31\00:12:58.41
It's not just about how to give
a Bible study, but how to reach
00:12:58.57\00:13:01.91
the heart of those that you
are, you know, in contact with.
00:13:01.91\00:13:04.68
And that's really what
the school discipleship is all
00:13:04.75\00:13:07.08
about.
00:13:07.08\00:13:07.58
So to further continue
about what it's all about.
00:13:08.15\00:13:10.32
So what you're going to do is
when you come here, it's about
00:13:10.85\00:13:12.82
10 to 11 days that you're going
to spend here at the School of
00:13:12.82\00:13:15.69
Discipleship.
00:13:15.69\00:13:18.99
just getting registered,
getting your SOD care package
00:13:18.99\00:13:21.80
because you're back at school
again and we're going to treat
00:13:21.80\00:13:23.87
you kind of a
little bit like that, too.
00:13:23.87\00:13:25.47
Even one of the we've had
several students come in here
00:13:25.80\00:13:27.84
and feel like, you know,
when they get their backpack and
00:13:27.84\00:13:29.90
they're getting their water
bottles and other other things,
00:13:29.90\00:13:31.91
they're like, wow, I
feel like I'm in school again.
00:13:31.94\00:13:33.81
I said, well, you are, you
know, for the next, you know, a
00:13:33.81\00:13:36.38
little over a week, you're
back in school, you're back in
00:13:36.38\00:13:38.31
training.
00:13:38.31\00:13:38.58
And but then the next day that
you spend here is Sabbath and
00:13:39.58\00:13:42.35
you're going to
spend Sabbath with us.
00:13:42.35\00:13:43.75
You're going to have church
with us, get the fellowship and
00:13:43.82\00:13:46.09
get to know one another.
00:13:46.09\00:13:47.02
We have a little, you know,
meet and greet game that we
00:13:47.29\00:13:49.36
kind of play just to kind of,
you know, bring the camaraderie
00:13:49.36\00:13:51.83
and everybody just
get to know one another.
00:13:51.83\00:13:53.76
But then Sunday, that's kind of
when we hit the ground running
00:13:53.96\00:13:56.80
and very early in the morning,
it's one of the, you know, best
00:13:56.80\00:13:59.77
things that we've incorporated.
00:13:59.77\00:14:01.00
We didn't do it in the first
class and it's a shame that we
00:14:01.07\00:14:03.47
didn't.
00:14:03.47\00:14:07.14
hour of prayer time and which
is headed out by Daniel Perrin
00:14:07.14\00:14:10.98
and he does an incredible job.
00:14:10.98\00:14:13.05
It's not just, you know, coming
together and praying, but he
00:14:13.48\00:14:15.72
actually gives little exercises
to expound your prayer life.
00:14:15.72\00:14:18.72
You know, sometimes we feel
like our prayer life just, you
00:14:19.22\00:14:21.59
know, falls a little short
or maybe it's missing something.
00:14:21.59\00:14:24.06
So we've incorporated this hour
of prayer time before breakfast
00:14:24.39\00:14:27.46
where it just kind of
challenges you a little bit and
00:14:27.46\00:14:30.27
moving forward in your prayer
life and your communication
00:14:30.27\00:14:32.33
with God.
00:14:32.33\00:14:37.54
prayer and one thing I think
was when we're in prayer, we
00:14:37.54\00:14:40.11
feel like we're
bringing God down to us.
00:14:40.11\00:14:41.81
But in Steps to Christ,
it tells us that prayer is
00:14:42.04\00:14:44.05
bringing us up to God.
00:14:44.05\00:14:45.08
And that's really what
this time, and it's been
00:14:45.88\00:14:47.62
transformative.
00:14:47.62\00:14:51.05
people have said, you know,
what have you enjoyed the most?
00:14:51.29\00:14:53.72
What was something that stood
out to you inside and it was
00:14:53.79\00:14:55.79
that hour of prayer time
because it really just prepared
00:14:55.79\00:14:58.73
them for the day to bring in,
you know, we're going to do a
00:14:58.73\00:15:02.00
lot of spiritual training.
00:15:02.00\00:15:03.43
So you have to be spiritual
grounded when you come to the
00:15:03.73\00:15:06.50
School of Discipleship.
00:15:06.50\00:15:10.77
But right after that,
we're going to have breakfast,
00:15:11.07\00:15:12.94
incredible vegetarian meals.
00:15:13.91\00:15:15.38
And we have even
an amazing testimony.
00:15:15.81\00:15:17.95
I forget which class it was,
but there was a gentleman who
00:15:18.11\00:15:20.38
came here and he was on
medication for being diabetic.
00:15:20.38\00:15:24.42
And because of the food that we
are providing here, he actually
00:15:24.79\00:15:28.02
came off of his medication.
00:15:28.02\00:15:29.56
He was no longer needing it.
00:15:29.56\00:15:29.59
And still to this day,
his numbers have improved.
00:15:31.36\00:15:34.13
It's just an
incredible testimony.
00:15:34.86\00:15:36.23
Now, that's not what the School
of Discipleship is all about,
00:15:36.60\00:15:40.57
but it's just a testimony
of the, you know, everything is
00:15:41.10\00:15:45.21
all encompassing.
00:15:45.21\00:15:46.44
It's the prayer, it's the food,
it's the fellowship, it's the
00:15:46.57\00:15:49.38
time we spend together.
00:15:49.38\00:15:50.55
And then after breakfast,
you're going to go all through
00:15:50.58\00:15:52.95
class about four
hours worth of class.
00:15:52.95\00:15:55.32
And then you'll have lunch
that we provide again and then
00:15:55.35\00:15:58.19
another about
four hours of class.
00:15:58.19\00:15:59.65
But then afterwards, this is
one of the things that I think
00:15:59.65\00:16:03.06
that this course kind of
separates itself from others.
00:16:03.06\00:16:05.46
Not that, you know, we're
better than any other course.
00:16:05.89\00:16:07.93
You know, there's other
evangelism courses that are out
00:16:08.30\00:16:10.43
there and they're all great.
00:16:10.43\00:16:11.63
They all serve a purpose, just
like there's several different
00:16:11.70\00:16:14.10
types of Bible studies that
are out there and they all reach
00:16:14.10\00:16:16.30
people in different ways.
00:16:16.30\00:16:17.27
But here at the School of
Discipleship, all of the staff
00:16:17.71\00:16:21.11
and instructors, we set an hour
or the evening aside to spend
00:16:21.11\00:16:26.98
about 30 minutes or so with an
individual with that one-on-one
00:16:26.98\00:16:30.42
discipleship with you because
you might have some questions
00:16:30.42\00:16:34.06
that you want answered.
00:16:34.06\00:16:38.89
ministry or I don't
know really where I'm at.
00:16:38.89\00:16:41.06
You know, we've had individuals
come and just ask all sorts of
00:16:41.40\00:16:43.90
different questions and you get
to spend that one-on-one time
00:16:43.90\00:16:47.57
with the instructors to
have that discipleship session.
00:16:47.57\00:16:51.11
And it really, I think,
sets the course apart because we
00:16:51.71\00:16:55.74
care.
00:16:55.74\00:16:56.24
We're not just
here to teach you.
00:16:56.54\00:16:57.45
We're here to
guide you and mentor you.
00:16:57.45\00:16:59.05
Even in your own maybe personal
matters, we've had some come
00:16:59.35\00:17:02.18
here that are
looking for healing.
00:17:02.18\00:17:03.89
You know, they're kind of maybe
stuck in a rut or, you know,
00:17:04.45\00:17:07.16
they're spiritually just, you
know, kind of haven't been on
00:17:07.19\00:17:11.03
fire or they're looking for
that next step and what they
00:17:11.03\00:17:14.10
should do.
00:17:14.10\00:17:14.73
And they come here and
they're just rejuvenated.
00:17:15.13\00:17:16.87
And it's just, it's amazing.
00:17:17.50\00:17:18.87
We have so many testimonies
that have come out of the
00:17:19.07\00:17:21.30
School of Discipleship.
00:17:21.30\00:17:22.24
So how much is it to attend if
someone says, I want to attend.
00:17:22.70\00:17:25.57
How much is it to attend
the School of Discipleship?
00:17:25.64\00:17:26.81
So that's usually the next
question once we give them all
00:17:26.81\00:17:29.01
the information is how
much is this going to cost.
00:17:29.01\00:17:30.98
Well, so we have two
different options for you.
00:17:30.98\00:17:32.95
So option one is that we will
provide housing for you here on
00:17:33.11\00:17:37.02
campus at 3ABN, as well
as provide the foods and the
00:17:37.02\00:17:40.16
material, which you're
going to get a lot of material
00:17:40.16\00:17:42.79
digitally, as
well as some handouts.
00:17:42.79\00:17:45.19
And you might get some extra
goodies from 3ABN if you come
00:17:45.39\00:17:48.16
as well.
00:17:48.16\00:17:51.80
Now, if you have a camper or
RV, maybe you've been here for
00:17:52.37\00:17:56.10
camp meeting before in the
past and you know that we have
00:17:56.10\00:17:58.74
hookups here for you.
00:17:58.74\00:17:59.87
If you bring a camper or RV,
then that would be option two.
00:18:00.04\00:18:04.01
And that is a
suggested donation of $300.
00:18:04.15\00:18:06.25
So that, again, provides
the meals that you're going to
00:18:07.38\00:18:10.29
have.
00:18:10.29\00:18:13.15
one, we house you
in our apartments.
00:18:13.15\00:18:14.66
Option two is you
come with a camper or RV.
00:18:14.79\00:18:17.33
And those are the two for you.
00:18:18.89\00:18:20.53
Great price.
00:18:20.60\00:18:21.36
Yeah.
00:18:22.43\00:18:23.10
If you think about it, the
10 or 11 days that you're here,
00:18:23.67\00:18:26.00
two meals a day, plus covering
the tuition and the course
00:18:26.33\00:18:31.57
material and everything else,
the backpacks, the side care
00:18:31.57\00:18:35.88
packages that you receive.
00:18:35.88\00:18:37.08
Even housing.
00:18:37.58\00:18:37.95
I know.
00:18:38.31\00:18:42.45
continue to feed you
spiritually and be able to go
00:18:42.45\00:18:44.55
out and make more
disciples for Christ.
00:18:44.55\00:18:46.39
Yeah, and these
are not 3ABN tents.
00:18:47.19\00:18:48.89
These are 3ABN apartments too.
00:18:49.12\00:18:50.79
We're not saying we're
providing housing for you.
00:18:51.26\00:18:53.56
We're not putting
you in tents or anything.
00:18:53.66\00:18:54.73
These are our apartments that
we put guests in that come to
00:18:54.93\00:18:57.30
do today programs and such.
00:18:57.30\00:18:58.90
So yeah, it's nice
and they're roommates.
00:18:59.07\00:19:00.67
We figure that all out.
00:19:00.97\00:19:02.17
Yeah, it's a great time of
fellowship, getting to know
00:19:02.47\00:19:04.51
each other.
00:19:04.51\00:19:07.38
like from talking about
from the previous solid classes,
00:19:07.48\00:19:09.61
with you guys, the leadership,
there's communication that
00:19:09.81\00:19:12.18
continues even to this very day.
00:19:12.18\00:19:13.72
And that's great because
to me, it's like a community.
00:19:13.95\00:19:15.68
It's a fellowship.
00:19:15.85\00:19:18.15
Go ahead, Brian.
00:19:18.25\00:19:18.95
No, I just want to make mention.
00:19:18.99\00:19:23.99
believe is a blessing.
00:19:23.99\00:19:24.83
I mentioned earlier that
this is an equivalent of like
00:19:25.69\00:19:28.73
receiving a full semester
worth of instruction and maybe a
00:19:28.73\00:19:31.50
little bit more.
00:19:31.50\00:19:32.57
Having been a college student,
I know how much college classes
00:19:32.73\00:19:35.67
it could be, anywhere from
400 or 500 plus per credit.
00:19:35.67\00:19:39.84
One class, $1,500 and just at a
university somewhere, depending
00:19:40.24\00:19:44.48
on where you go.
00:19:44.48\00:19:45.08
But in this
case, you're getting...
00:19:45.95\00:19:47.85
To me, the price in and of
itself is worth the instruction
00:19:47.85\00:19:51.75
you're going to get when
you come here, the incredible
00:19:51.75\00:19:53.72
experience and the information.
00:19:53.72\00:19:55.76
And it's not just information.
00:19:55.86\00:19:57.26
And Pastor Loma King, I just
want you to take just a moment
00:19:57.56\00:20:00.10
and talk about your class
because he brought this idea to
00:20:00.10\00:20:02.63
me.
00:20:02.63\00:20:05.07
to transformation.
00:20:05.07\00:20:05.83
It's one thing to
have a head knowledge.
00:20:06.00\00:20:07.34
It's one thing to come, you
know, pack all this information
00:20:07.57\00:20:10.04
in your head.
00:20:10.04\00:20:13.51
practical life,
it means nothing.
00:20:13.51\00:20:15.14
So Pastor, talk
about your class.
00:20:15.24\00:20:16.34
Yeah, a few years ago, I
had an epiphany that really has
00:20:16.34\00:20:19.58
changed my walk even with the
Lord, our marriage, my approach
00:20:19.58\00:20:23.62
to ministry at church.
00:20:23.62\00:20:24.69
And this has been a Mark 2,
22, where the Bible says, and no
00:20:25.12\00:20:28.59
one puts new wine in old
wine skins or else the new wine
00:20:28.59\00:20:32.86
bursts and old
wine skins are ruined.
00:20:32.86\00:20:34.96
But the new wine must
be put into new wine skins.
00:20:35.70\00:20:39.87
It didn't say
should be, must be.
00:20:40.00\00:20:41.97
And I thought about what we're
sharing with them is the new
00:20:42.37\00:20:44.77
wine, the information.
00:20:44.77\00:20:45.94
Wine has a property that we
cannot remove from it and it
00:20:45.94\00:20:49.31
ferments.
00:20:49.31\00:20:49.91
Now consider this for a moment.
00:20:50.38\00:20:51.55
Say before you're transformed
and your wine skin has been
00:20:52.11\00:20:55.12
poured, the world has been
poured into your worldly wine
00:20:55.12\00:20:57.55
skin.
00:20:57.55\00:20:58.05
And after a while, it hardens
on the inside, like the Bible,
00:20:58.82\00:21:02.19
the leather wine skins of old.
00:21:02.39\00:21:04.06
It hardens and then all of a
sudden, you get this new wine
00:21:04.29\00:21:08.06
pouring into old wine skins
and the wine skins cannot flex.
00:21:08.06\00:21:11.70
It's inflexible, it's hard.
00:21:12.13\00:21:13.30
So the new wine does not absorb.
00:21:13.57\00:21:15.77
But it's going to ferment.
00:21:15.77\00:21:16.84
That means what is
the fermenting process?
00:21:17.64\00:21:19.37
All of a sudden you realize the
depth of the Sabbath message,
00:21:19.81\00:21:22.94
the depth of the
sanctuary message.
00:21:23.55\00:21:25.28
It starts fermenting but
you can't handle it because you
00:21:25.55\00:21:29.02
can't flex.
00:21:29.02\00:21:29.72
You can't grow with
it and it destroys you.
00:21:30.02\00:21:32.92
So I've seen so many people
baptized and joined the church
00:21:33.32\00:21:35.79
and after a while they're gone
because their wine skins have
00:21:35.79\00:21:39.03
not been transformed.
00:21:39.03\00:21:40.36
So new wine, we're talking
about not only informing you
00:21:41.03\00:21:44.03
but transforming you.
00:21:44.03\00:21:45.50
And we start with the
topic on human nature.
00:21:45.77\00:21:48.10
What is human nature?
00:21:48.57\00:21:49.24
What do we bring to the table?
00:21:49.24\00:21:49.27
Each one of us
has a human nature.
00:21:50.41\00:21:51.87
Oswald Chambliss called
it individuality blocks our
00:21:52.61\00:21:56.11
spirituality.
00:21:56.11\00:21:56.88
And that's always the block.
00:21:57.48\00:21:58.98
So we don't want to just
tell you what to believe but how
00:21:59.41\00:22:02.02
does that transfer from
your brain to a new life?
00:22:02.02\00:22:04.39
So we talk about human nature,
then desire, then will, then
00:22:04.69\00:22:08.52
justification, sanctification
and finally baptism.
00:22:08.52\00:22:11.23
And it's in that order because
why get baptized if you don't
00:22:11.43\00:22:14.93
understand what it's all about?
00:22:14.93\00:22:16.33
It's not just...
00:22:16.73\00:22:17.63
And too many
people stop at membership.
00:22:17.63\00:22:20.04
Membership requires no denial.
00:22:21.00\00:22:23.00
But to be a disciple,
one must deny himself.
00:22:23.57\00:22:25.87
Of what?
00:22:25.91\00:22:26.81
Of that individuality that
we bring in which is that human
00:22:27.14\00:22:29.64
nature that refuses to flex
when new information comes in.
00:22:29.64\00:22:33.25
So the information be
transformed by the renewing of
00:22:34.02\00:22:37.99
your mind.
00:22:37.99\00:22:38.69
Renewing our mind will alter
this information but it leads
00:22:39.22\00:22:41.32
to transformation.
00:22:41.32\00:22:42.39
And finally, the transformation
is seen in Scripture.
00:22:42.39\00:22:45.93
1 John 3, 2, Brother and now we
are children of God but it has
00:22:46.33\00:22:50.67
not yet been revealed what we
shall be like these next three.
00:22:50.67\00:22:54.04
But we know that when he is
revealed we shall be like him
00:22:54.47\00:22:57.77
for we shall see him as he is.
00:22:57.77\00:22:59.11
So this revelation
comes and how do you practice?
00:22:59.51\00:23:02.24
I'm going to include
another part in that.
00:23:02.68\00:23:04.01
I did a sermon not too
long ago called the practice.
00:23:04.11\00:23:06.18
Practice makes permanent.
00:23:07.38\00:23:09.48
Not perfect.
00:23:10.72\00:23:11.35
That's right.
00:23:11.35\00:23:12.02
Practice makes permanent.
00:23:12.52\00:23:13.46
What you practice, he who
practices righteousness is
00:23:13.66\00:23:17.16
righteous just
as he is righteous.
00:23:17.16\00:23:19.03
So it's going to be very
thought provoking but also very
00:23:19.09\00:23:22.06
transforming.
00:23:22.06\00:23:22.56
Can husband and wife come to?
00:23:23.23\00:23:25.10
Of course.
00:23:25.40\00:23:25.77
We've had many
couples come through.
00:23:27.07\00:23:28.34
Many, many couples.
00:23:28.60\00:23:29.50
We've had families come
through, aunts, uncles, nephews
00:23:29.74\00:23:32.21
and nieces and parents and
children and yeah, absolutely.
00:23:32.21\00:23:35.94
We've had from 16 year olds and
the 16 year old came with their
00:23:36.34\00:23:40.08
mother.
00:23:40.08\00:23:40.72
Right, they need a shepherd.
00:23:40.72\00:23:41.75
Right, it has to
be a family member.
00:23:41.78\00:23:43.52
So we had 16 year old all
the way up to I believe was 86.
00:23:43.75\00:23:48.16
So you're never too old, too
young to learn something new.
00:23:49.12\00:23:52.59
I mean, even though the
lady who was 86 she said I don't
00:23:52.73\00:23:55.46
know why God sent me here.
00:23:55.46\00:23:56.56
But then she found out
afterwards and God just
00:23:56.63\00:23:58.97
catapulted her into a way to
witness to others that only she
00:23:58.97\00:24:01.80
could.
00:24:01.80\00:24:02.04
Wow, and I know we have a video.
00:24:02.97\00:24:04.64
Do we want to go
to that video on Saul?
00:24:04.81\00:24:06.44
Absolutely, it's better to see
the video rather than me saying
00:24:06.57\00:24:08.94
everything about the school.
00:24:08.94\00:24:10.15
You'll actually get to hear it
from the student's perspective.
00:24:10.15\00:24:11.98
Okay, all right, let's go
to that video roll right now.
00:24:12.38\00:24:14.38
I've always wanted to really
learn how to dig into the Bible
00:24:26.70\00:24:31.97
and be a better Bible student.
00:24:31.97\00:24:34.04
I want to know the Bible.
00:24:34.20\00:24:36.27
I want to know God's Word.
00:24:36.47\00:24:38.27
That's Him talking to me.
00:24:38.57\00:24:40.48
As I've become an adult, I've
been searching and trying to
00:24:40.78\00:24:45.11
find what's truth and
where I stand with the Lord.
00:24:45.11\00:24:48.18
I never really thought
that God was an option for me.
00:24:53.56\00:24:57.23
Being a drug addict and a
prostitute, people think that's
00:24:57.43\00:25:00.83
what you'll always be.
00:25:00.83\00:25:02.03
I feel like He led me here
because He knew that I would
00:25:02.40\00:25:06.27
learn and hear the right
things, the things that I
00:25:06.27\00:25:09.57
needed to hear.
00:25:09.57\00:25:10.41
I have gained so much from
all of the classes, every single
00:25:12.24\00:25:16.91
one of them.
00:25:16.91\00:25:17.91
The staff is very
generous with their time.
00:25:18.65\00:25:21.85
They are able to be here
after hours when people have
00:25:22.18\00:25:27.06
additional questions, they have
additional problems that they
00:25:27.06\00:25:30.03
need help with, and it's
been really good to have that
00:25:30.03\00:25:34.46
resource and to be
one-on-one with them.
00:25:34.46\00:25:37.60
The way that SAAD has
strengthened me is just
00:25:38.00\00:25:41.17
learning to communicate with
God, to help us in our daily
00:25:41.17\00:25:46.71
walk and through Bible study
and prayer and how we relate to
00:25:46.71\00:25:51.11
others.
00:25:51.11\00:25:52.15
If I were to describe SAAD
in one word, that one word would
00:25:54.82\00:25:59.49
be fellowship.
00:25:59.49\00:26:00.49
Impactful.
00:26:00.82\00:26:01.49
Needed.
00:26:01.76\00:26:02.42
Intense.
00:26:03.06\00:26:03.66
Share.
00:26:04.09\00:26:04.39
Encouraging.
00:26:04.96\00:26:05.56
Power-packed.
00:26:05.96\00:26:07.46
Spiritual.
00:26:08.03\00:26:08.63
It's such a
spiritual experience.
00:26:10.13\00:26:11.90
This has been such a
spiritual experience.
00:26:12.03\00:26:14.07
Everybody needs kind of a jolt.
00:26:14.40\00:26:15.87
Everybody needs to plug into
the Holy Spirit and be revived.
00:26:16.37\00:26:19.64
You will meet the Holy Spirit
here if you have not met Him.
00:26:20.38\00:26:22.88
Go to SAAD.
00:26:23.45\00:26:24.55
Make that impact in your life.
00:26:25.18\00:26:27.12
What I will leave with,
the most important thing, is a
00:26:27.52\00:26:30.79
stronger relationship with God.
00:26:30.79\00:26:32.32
Don't feel like that
you can't learn the Bible.
00:26:32.75\00:26:34.99
Don't feel like that you can't
do anything because SAAD is
00:26:35.99\00:26:40.66
made for you.
00:26:40.66\00:26:41.96
Amen.
00:26:48.20\00:26:48.74
I encourage you to
go to 3ABNSAAD.COM.
00:26:49.27\00:26:53.14
I encourage you
to sign up, join.
00:26:53.27\00:26:55.54
What an
incredible family it becomes.
00:26:55.58\00:26:57.55
I know Greg and I had the
opportunity just to go over for
00:26:57.78\00:27:01.12
a few meals or a few worships
and just to interact with the
00:27:01.12\00:27:05.29
team.
00:27:05.29\00:27:05.75
It becomes a family.
00:27:05.82\00:27:06.59
We spend that week together
in prayer and Bible study and
00:27:07.02\00:27:10.36
fellowship.
00:27:10.36\00:27:10.83
Your life will
never be the same.
00:27:11.19\00:27:13.09
It is life-transformative
to come to a 3ABN School of
00:27:13.29\00:27:18.23
Discipleship.
00:27:18.23\00:27:22.84
fill out the application.
00:27:22.84\00:27:23.87
Is it international?
00:27:24.57\00:27:25.44
Sister Kay came from Australia.
00:27:26.57\00:27:28.01
She flew in from
Australia for SAAD.
00:27:28.11\00:27:29.64
So you can come from overseas.
00:27:30.11\00:27:31.98
And we had someone
from England come as well.
00:27:33.01\00:27:34.98
We did.
00:27:35.25\00:27:35.55
You're right.
00:27:36.15\00:27:36.62
So Ryan, again,
what's that date?
00:27:37.42\00:27:39.32
You said there was
a deadline earlier.
00:27:39.42\00:27:40.59
So March 14-23 is the actual
class itself or the session,
00:27:40.59\00:27:44.76
but our deadline ends two
weeks before Registration Day.
00:27:44.99\00:27:48.40
Registration Day is March 14.
00:27:48.40\00:27:50.00
So two weeks before
that would be February 28.
00:27:50.27\00:27:52.53
So get your application
in as soon as possible.
00:27:52.97\00:27:56.57
And just a couple of things
I just want to mention here.
00:27:56.91\00:27:58.54
When you go on and fill out
the application form, read it
00:27:58.61\00:28:01.91
thoroughly, give us...
00:28:01.91\00:28:03.11
There's some questions that we
have that we want feedback from
00:28:03.11\00:28:06.41
you.
00:28:06.41\00:28:06.85
It helps us to determine.
00:28:07.05\00:28:08.58
When we get multiple
applicants, we pray over these.
00:28:08.75\00:28:11.72
This isn't just like,
oh, we just select at random.
00:28:11.82\00:28:13.99
We pray over these.
00:28:14.09\00:28:14.66
We want God to do.
00:28:14.76\00:28:15.32
But we can only
accept so many students.
00:28:15.69\00:28:18.13
So usually our cap is about 40
students total, just because we
00:28:18.13\00:28:22.63
want it to be personal.
00:28:22.63\00:28:23.43
And our classroom is
only so big at this point.
00:28:23.67\00:28:26.03
But definitely read through
that application thoroughly,
00:28:26.90\00:28:29.50
answer the questions
thoroughly, and send in those
00:28:29.84\00:28:32.74
references.
00:28:32.74\00:28:35.41
got to provide email addresses
and content information for
00:28:35.41\00:28:37.78
your references.
00:28:37.78\00:28:38.28
And once you submit
that application and pay your
00:28:38.88\00:28:42.02
application fee, which is I
think it's a suggested donation
00:28:42.02\00:28:44.62
of $30, once that application
fee is accepted and the
00:28:44.62\00:28:48.99
application is submitted,
it's going to send an automatic
00:28:48.99\00:28:52.43
email to your references,
whoever those references are.
00:28:52.43\00:28:55.90
And what we ask for is at least
a pastor or head elder of your
00:28:56.16\00:29:00.17
church.
00:29:00.17\00:29:00.80
And of course, a non-related
friend or someone that's not a
00:29:01.40\00:29:05.87
direct family member.
00:29:05.87\00:29:06.81
So two references.
00:29:07.14\00:29:08.04
And you want to make sure
as soon as you submit that, you
00:29:08.34\00:29:10.61
contact your references
and say, hey, you should have
00:29:10.61\00:29:12.81
received an email.
00:29:12.81\00:29:13.58
Can you fill out
these references?
00:29:13.65\00:29:14.98
And send them in.
00:29:14.98\00:29:16.05
I get people call all the time,
weeks will go by, few days will
00:29:16.25\00:29:19.39
go by, hey, I haven't
heard anything back, and I'm in
00:29:19.39\00:29:21.66
there, I'm like, yeah,
we're still waiting on these
00:29:21.66\00:29:23.16
references.
00:29:23.16\00:29:27.46
sure we get everyone in
there that's supposed to be.
00:29:27.46\00:29:29.53
But again, fill out that
application, 3ABNSOD.com.
00:29:29.93\00:29:34.37
So go there, fill
out that application.
00:29:34.60\00:29:36.34
And I have yet to hear of
anyone who's come through the
00:29:36.64\00:29:39.34
program that said, you
know, this really wasn't for me,
00:29:39.34\00:29:41.14
really wasn't what I was
expecting it to be, and didn't
00:29:41.41\00:29:43.81
really work out
the way I was hoping.
00:29:43.81\00:29:45.45
It wasn't as big of a blessing
as you guys made it out to be.
00:29:46.05\00:29:48.95
Haven't heard any of that.
00:29:48.98\00:29:50.35
Every single person that's come
through has said, this has been
00:29:50.49\00:29:53.62
incredible.
00:29:53.62\00:29:54.02
It's changed my life.
00:29:54.19\00:29:55.26
Do you have to be
Adventists to come?
00:29:55.29\00:29:56.89
Absolutely not.
00:29:56.96\00:29:57.86
We've had non-Adventists come
through the program and these
00:29:58.23\00:30:00.70
people leave saying, wow!
00:30:00.70\00:30:02.10
I was thinking of a gentleman
that was in our last class, a
00:30:02.60\00:30:06.33
non -Adventist.
00:30:06.33\00:30:07.20
He signed up for one of
the personal evening sessions.
00:30:07.87\00:30:10.91
And just to, by the way, just
to recap on that, it's from, we
00:30:11.24\00:30:14.34
usually, all the staff and
teachers give their available
00:30:14.34\00:30:18.08
time in the evening.
00:30:18.08\00:30:19.18
So in the evening, we all
dedicate about three hours.
00:30:19.25\00:30:21.18
And so we break up those three
hours into half hour sessions
00:30:21.38\00:30:26.05
where each student can sign
up if they want to, either as a
00:30:26.05\00:30:29.96
small group or individually
with the instructors.
00:30:29.96\00:30:32.59
And you can meet with
one of the instructors.
00:30:32.99\00:30:35.23
You can meet with more than one
of the instructors if you want
00:30:35.33\00:30:37.47
to do that.
00:30:37.47\00:30:38.63
But the idea would be is you
get that time to ask questions,
00:30:38.63\00:30:41.57
to receive prayer,
some spiritual counsel from
00:30:41.77\00:30:44.41
Scripture.
00:30:44.41\00:30:44.77
We had one
gentleman come through.
00:30:45.24\00:30:46.54
He signed up for
one of those sessions.
00:30:46.54\00:30:46.57
And I'll never
forget, he came through.
00:30:48.31\00:30:49.64
And very interestingly enough,
he was one of the, he was, I'm
00:30:50.55\00:30:53.95
not going to say his name
or which state, but he was a
00:30:53.95\00:30:56.65
special religious, I think it
was Jewish liaison for, and he
00:30:56.65\00:31:03.93
came through and he heard our
message on the rapture and he
00:31:03.93\00:31:06.66
heard our message
on Israel and prophecy.
00:31:06.66\00:31:08.86
And he says down with me,
he says, I've got a lot of
00:31:09.20\00:31:12.30
rethinking to do.
00:31:12.30\00:31:13.13
It was just so
powerful to see the Holy Spirit.
00:31:14.14\00:31:16.44
It was so open, right?
00:31:16.81\00:31:17.17
It was so amazing.
00:31:17.44\00:31:19.21
We don't force anything on, we
don't make you feel bad for it.
00:31:20.04\00:31:23.75
You know, you may come in with
different beliefs and you may
00:31:23.75\00:31:26.25
be struggling, but we don't
just shove the truth down your
00:31:26.25\00:31:29.12
throat.
00:31:29.12\00:31:33.02
openly, boldly with
love and compassion.
00:31:33.02\00:31:35.26
And we let the
Holy Spirit do His job.
00:31:35.49\00:31:37.96
And so it's just a
powerful, powerful program.
00:31:37.99\00:31:39.96
We want to include you and
encourage you to come and hear
00:31:39.96\00:31:43.10
the good news and learn how
to be the best disciple and to
00:31:43.10\00:31:46.37
share that incredible good news.
00:31:46.37\00:31:47.97
So there's no age limit.
00:31:48.27\00:31:49.07
No age limit.
00:31:49.30\00:31:49.87
No age limit.
00:31:50.27\00:31:50.87
But under 16,
under 18, under 18.
00:31:51.11\00:31:53.48
Shaperon.
00:31:53.48\00:31:53.88
Yes.
00:31:54.31\00:31:57.98
you can't attend, but you do
want to get involved somehow,
00:31:57.98\00:32:01.88
we do have a worthy fund or
worthy student fund set up that
00:32:02.15\00:32:05.62
we have used for students that
may not be able to afford to
00:32:05.62\00:32:09.02
come, but when we, you
know, going through their
00:32:09.02\00:32:10.73
application, you know, as side
administration goes through it,
00:32:10.73\00:32:13.60
we just say this
person has to be here.
00:32:13.60\00:32:15.30
So you can get involved by
changing someone's life and by,
00:32:15.70\00:32:19.73
you know, giving for
the worthy student fund.
00:32:19.73\00:32:22.80
So if you can't come, it is
another way that you can get
00:32:23.14\00:32:25.97
involved and
help the students out.
00:32:25.97\00:32:27.91
And that is a
good job on that, Ian.
00:32:28.31\00:32:30.61
That is a fund code 492.
00:32:30.65\00:32:33.45
492.
00:32:33.68\00:32:36.12
online, just look for 492
and again, like if you can't
00:32:36.12\00:32:39.09
attend, but just like,
man, that's a great project.
00:32:39.09\00:32:40.39
I want to support it.
00:32:40.46\00:32:41.46
Well, you can just put
it to 492 worthy students.
00:32:41.52\00:32:43.53
So yeah, thank you so much.
00:32:43.59\00:32:44.63
Thank you also,
Ryan, for the vision.
00:32:44.69\00:32:46.26
A number of years ago and look
what God has done is come to
00:32:46.26\00:32:48.96
fruition and blessing people.
00:32:48.96\00:32:50.63
So, you know, going, moving
on, we had the chance and the
00:32:51.57\00:32:54.87
opportunity and the blessing
to travel down under, if we want
00:32:54.87\00:32:58.07
to say that, down under.
00:32:58.07\00:32:59.71
And yeah, Jill, talk
just a little bit about that.
00:33:00.58\00:33:02.21
I know Pastor John and Angie
had the opportunity going and
00:33:02.28\00:33:04.95
myself and Tim
Parton, of course, were there.
00:33:04.95\00:33:07.38
If the Malkovich's to Australia
and New Zealand, it was a very
00:33:07.48\00:33:10.59
blessed time.
00:33:10.59\00:33:11.32
It was indeed.
00:33:11.42\00:33:14.66
leadership with 3ABN Australia.
00:33:14.66\00:33:16.96
We were in New Zealand.
00:33:17.49\00:33:18.49
We were all across Australia.
00:33:18.66\00:33:21.00
Bunbury, which is Perth, all
the way over on the west side.
00:33:21.43\00:33:24.27
We went to
Adelaide's South Australia.
00:33:24.37\00:33:26.80
We went up to
Newcastle and Sydney area.
00:33:27.27\00:33:30.11
So all across Australia.
00:33:30.41\00:33:32.01
And just what a blessing to
meet 3ABN family all over the
00:33:32.01\00:33:38.71
world.
00:33:38.71\00:33:39.41
And I just want to say, and
then I'll pass it to the Loma
00:33:39.95\00:33:41.65
Keynes to share, but Pastor
John, you did an incredible
00:33:41.65\00:33:44.52
job.
00:33:44.52\00:33:49.42
and Tim singing and
Angie talking about radio.
00:33:49.42\00:33:53.09
And Jill.
00:33:53.43\00:33:53.76
And just the opportunity to
connect in with our 3ABN family
00:33:55.83\00:34:00.37
and to see the lives that
have been changed and the hearts
00:34:00.37\00:34:03.94
that are mended and people who
discovered Jesus and the Word
00:34:03.94\00:34:08.21
and the Gospel.
00:34:08.21\00:34:09.18
And it was an
incredible experience.
00:34:09.61\00:34:11.18
And don't forget your
presentations were wonderful
00:34:11.75\00:34:13.78
too.
00:34:13.78\00:34:17.12
That's the title.
00:34:17.15\00:34:17.72
You can't shake me.
00:34:17.79\00:34:19.32
But your approach to the
Word has been commendable.
00:34:19.32\00:34:22.19
To see that God really speaks
to you and through you in such
00:34:22.22\00:34:24.99
an easy to
understand palatable way.
00:34:24.99\00:34:27.73
Praise God for that gift.
00:34:27.76\00:34:28.90
You know, there's one
smile that I need to add to the
00:34:28.90\00:34:31.87
beginning of our journey
because just before I left, I
00:34:31.87\00:34:34.77
preached a sermon
entitled, No More Delays.
00:34:34.77\00:34:37.24
And we had nothing but delays.
00:34:39.14\00:34:42.04
When we went to St. Louis, our
flight was delayed three times.
00:34:42.64\00:34:47.48
From St. Louis to Dallas, the
flight was delayed three times.
00:34:47.78\00:34:50.42
So we left late.
00:34:50.45\00:34:51.49
And we got to Dallas.
00:34:51.69\00:34:52.69
Missed our connection in Dallas.
00:34:52.82\00:34:54.12
And our luggage ended up,
instead of going to Dallas, it
00:34:54.82\00:34:57.46
went to
Charlotte, North Carolina.
00:34:57.46\00:35:01.30
How does that happen?
00:35:01.70\00:35:02.73
And so when we got to Dallas,
they said, well, we have to
00:35:03.40\00:35:05.63
book you on the flight.
00:35:05.63\00:35:09.24
It was in the airport with
us to go on the same flight.
00:35:09.27\00:35:11.91
We were told that it was on the
same flight only to arrive in
00:35:12.27\00:35:14.88
New Zealand to tell us
our luggage went to New York
00:35:14.88\00:35:17.25
instead.
00:35:17.25\00:35:17.71
And I'm thinking, wait a
minute, how does that happen?
00:35:18.61\00:35:21.58
Nothing but delays.
00:35:21.72\00:35:22.98
So we were without clothing
for a week, which we had to
00:35:23.72\00:35:27.02
purchase a new
suitcase and new clothing.
00:35:27.02\00:35:29.09
Thank you.
00:35:29.96\00:35:31.56
We had to wear the
same thing all week.
00:35:32.66\00:35:34.20
And American Airlines was
kind about it and reimbursed us.
00:35:35.23\00:35:37.77
But it was just
a fantabulous time.
00:35:38.33\00:35:41.34
I've never seen that word, but
that's my word, fantabulous, to
00:35:42.30\00:35:45.81
be able to touch the lives
of people that are often on the
00:35:45.81\00:35:48.14
other side of the screen,
shake their hands and hear their
00:35:48.14\00:35:51.08
stories.
00:35:51.08\00:35:53.35
My wife, she takes a lot of
pictures and a lot of video.
00:35:53.42\00:35:56.08
You did the peacock one.
00:35:57.39\00:35:57.62
Oh, let me just kind of...
00:35:58.02\00:35:59.35
We went to a game park.
00:35:59.35\00:36:01.09
Yes.
00:36:01.26\00:36:01.69
And they had birds and they
had koalas and they had little
00:36:03.29\00:36:07.73
wallabies and all that.
00:36:07.73\00:36:08.76
And they had peacocks.
00:36:08.90\00:36:09.93
And John Malkovich
was trying his best.
00:36:10.77\00:36:12.60
He was stimulating, come
on, fella, give me your wings.
00:36:12.70\00:36:15.84
I mean, show me your feathers.
00:36:15.97\00:36:17.04
That's a terrible Australian
accent, but it's my attempt.
00:36:17.94\00:36:20.18
And the peacocks were
just not listening to you.
00:36:20.84\00:36:24.08
And they walked away just,
okay, we're just not going to
00:36:24.08\00:36:26.82
see the feathers today.
00:36:26.82\00:36:27.82
And I stayed with the peacock
and I said, would you please
00:36:28.45\00:36:32.52
show us a display?
00:36:32.52\00:36:34.46
On the cue, he
opened his feathers.
00:36:34.76\00:36:37.13
Good, yeah.
00:36:37.16\00:36:37.79
Yes.
00:36:38.29\00:36:38.76
On the cue, I asked,
would you please show us?
00:36:39.33\00:36:42.06
As I finished that statement,
he opened his feathers and
00:36:42.20\00:36:44.80
started spinning around.
00:36:44.80\00:36:45.97
Yes, as soon as he said, please.
00:36:45.97\00:36:47.27
As soon as I said, please.
00:36:47.30\00:36:48.47
And then you said things.
00:36:48.47\00:36:49.47
And then when he, then
he closed his feathers.
00:36:49.47\00:36:51.27
And then I said, thank you.
00:36:51.44\00:36:52.61
And then he went, I got you.
00:36:52.61\00:36:56.21
You know, the beauty of saying
please to a peacock makes a
00:36:56.44\00:36:59.95
difference.
00:36:59.95\00:37:00.35
But that was one
of the highlights.
00:37:01.12\00:37:02.75
I didn't think it would happen.
00:37:02.95\00:37:03.85
But meeting the people, getting
to see that we have a young
00:37:04.49\00:37:08.76
lady that's on our Wednesday
night Bible study, Jess.
00:37:08.76\00:37:10.86
Jess, yeah.
00:37:11.73\00:37:13.43
She drove eight or nine hours.
00:37:13.46\00:37:14.36
Eight hours.
00:37:14.36\00:37:15.46
To be at the rally.
00:37:15.80\00:37:17.00
Which one was that?
00:37:17.33\00:37:18.40
That was at Newcastle.
00:37:18.53\00:37:19.80
At Hamilton, yeah.
00:37:19.90\00:37:20.84
And she drove across
Australia to be there.
00:37:20.84\00:37:23.87
And it was a blessing.
00:37:24.27\00:37:24.94
So just singing and then Tim.
00:37:25.61\00:37:27.91
Oh, he was incredible.
00:37:28.44\00:37:29.98
What can we say about Tim?
00:37:30.58\00:37:31.58
What can we say about Tim?
00:37:32.31\00:37:33.28
Say Tim, that's it.
00:37:33.78\00:37:35.55
Because he ministers, you know.
00:37:36.35\00:37:37.95
He's incredibly gifted,
which is a praise the Lord.
00:37:37.99\00:37:40.92
But when he sings, when
he plays, it's ministry.
00:37:41.02\00:37:45.33
And it touches
the people's hearts.
00:37:45.36\00:37:47.23
Sorry, I didn't mean to...
00:37:47.46\00:37:47.96
Oh, no, that's good.
00:37:47.96\00:37:48.63
But there's a song.
00:37:48.66\00:37:49.66
It's called
Bless Beyond Measure.
00:37:50.97\00:37:52.67
Whenever he sings that song,
it just sinks into my soul like
00:37:54.84\00:37:58.34
melted chocolate.
00:37:58.34\00:37:58.94
God is good, God's been good.
00:37:59.04\00:38:00.91
It's just like melted chocolate
in the crevice of a cookie.
00:38:01.44\00:38:04.05
And it just bathes our souls.
00:38:04.71\00:38:06.45
And then we had a
chance to go to Bunbury.
00:38:06.92\00:38:09.28
You know, some people
say Bunbury, it's Bunbury.
00:38:09.98\00:38:11.75
They said get to Bunbury.
00:38:11.92\00:38:13.46
Special thanks to Terry Preston.
00:38:13.89\00:38:15.59
He's Vice President of the
3ABN Vice Chairman of the 3ABN
00:38:15.59\00:38:20.46
Australian
Board, their committee.
00:38:20.46\00:38:22.10
That's his church.
00:38:23.50\00:38:24.33
He's one of the elders there.
00:38:24.43\00:38:25.40
And Pastor
Robert, who you sang with.
00:38:25.50\00:38:27.50
Yes, that was nice.
00:38:27.70\00:38:29.04
We did a song.
00:38:29.07\00:38:30.17
What was the song we
actually did there again?
00:38:30.34\00:38:31.94
It was a heritage
song, heritage singer's song.
00:38:32.04\00:38:34.78
But anyhow, he...
00:38:35.08\00:38:37.01
And his group
did just a great job.
00:38:37.01\00:38:38.61
They did an excellent job.
00:38:38.61\00:38:39.48
Oh, actually, no,
it was a 3ABN song.
00:38:39.68\00:38:44.25
Oh, it was, the pillars.
00:38:44.42\00:38:45.32
What's the quartet we did?
00:38:45.32\00:38:45.35
Hold I Come Quickly.
00:38:46.92\00:38:47.69
That's it, that's it, that's it.
00:38:47.69\00:38:49.49
They practiced and practiced
and practiced and practiced and
00:38:49.66\00:38:51.99
they behooved us.
00:38:51.99\00:38:52.79
And I said, let's
just go ahead and do it.
00:38:52.89\00:38:54.46
Tim encouraged us to do it.
00:38:54.56\00:38:55.80
Because I'm sometimes, Larry,
you know, when you say people,
00:38:56.06\00:38:58.17
they want to sing it.
00:38:58.17\00:38:58.20
They go, oh, what are
they going to do here?
00:38:59.20\00:38:59.80
It's going to be all over.
00:38:59.83\00:39:00.70
But they did a very good job.
00:39:01.04\00:39:02.47
They did a great job.
00:39:02.50\00:39:03.74
So thank you, Pastor, for your
approach to excellence there.
00:39:03.74\00:39:05.81
And that was fun.
00:39:05.81\00:39:06.68
Just to allow them to minister.
00:39:06.88\00:39:08.34
I said, let's sing this song.
00:39:08.48\00:39:09.21
And he popped up like a toaster.
00:39:09.41\00:39:11.11
Like toast out of a toaster.
00:39:11.31\00:39:12.61
And it was a blessed time.
00:39:12.81\00:39:13.95
But the spiritual
messages, meeting people.
00:39:14.05\00:39:16.75
And we also learned
what longevity is all about.
00:39:17.25\00:39:20.49
Because we were going and going.
00:39:20.56\00:39:22.39
Oh, yeah.
00:39:22.39\00:39:23.19
And up flying to the next venue.
00:39:23.32\00:39:25.09
Being at the next church.
00:39:25.13\00:39:26.39
Meeting the people that night.
00:39:26.83\00:39:28.03
Flying to the next place.
00:39:28.06\00:39:29.33
So I want to just
bring this up too.
00:39:29.66\00:39:30.77
Because again, we talk
about divine providence, right?
00:39:30.83\00:39:32.90
So we're at the Bunbury
Seventh -day Adventist Church.
00:39:32.93\00:39:34.44
Again, it was packed.
00:39:34.50\00:39:35.14
We had Friday night and Sabbath.
00:39:35.24\00:39:36.54
And there were people sitting.
00:39:36.64\00:39:37.51
There weren't enough chairs.
00:39:37.51\00:39:37.54
to just...
00:39:41.34\00:39:41.88
I mean, it was amazing.
00:39:41.88\00:39:42.48
People coming from all over.
00:39:42.54\00:39:43.48
Many people driving, traveling.
00:39:43.81\00:39:45.11
Many hours.
00:39:45.21\00:39:45.88
People flew in.
00:39:45.88\00:39:46.82
Yes, so if you're in flew in.
00:39:46.92\00:39:48.22
So if you're watching this
evening, thank you for coming
00:39:48.42\00:39:50.05
out.
00:39:50.05\00:39:50.65
So encouraging to
see each one of you.
00:39:50.95\00:39:52.25
So we finished Sabbath evening.
00:39:52.55\00:39:53.96
And we're going,
driving back up to Perth.
00:39:54.16\00:39:56.09
And we were hungry.
00:39:56.09\00:39:56.99
So we stopped at a little place.
00:39:57.06\00:39:58.33
Off the side of the road there.
00:39:58.69\00:39:59.83
Pastor John, tell us this story.
00:40:00.03\00:40:00.96
Because this is a
divine appointment.
00:40:01.03\00:40:02.50
It's incredible
what God did there.
00:40:02.66\00:40:04.10
Meeting this gentleman.
00:40:04.10\00:40:04.97
As we're waiting, again delays.
00:40:05.20\00:40:06.77
Waiting on some food.
00:40:07.27\00:40:08.47
Like why are we
waiting so long for the food?
00:40:08.50\00:40:10.07
The timing is perfect.
00:40:10.41\00:40:11.17
Another delay.
00:40:11.94\00:40:12.77
See, everyone
received their food except us.
00:40:12.94\00:40:14.98
So we went out
into the mall entrance.
00:40:14.98\00:40:16.51
The mall was closed but
the food shops are still open.
00:40:17.01\00:40:18.98
And we're sitting
out there talking.
00:40:19.38\00:40:20.38
And a guy came
up to me and says.
00:40:20.78\00:40:21.95
And he's showing you the phone.
00:40:22.55\00:40:23.42
Is that you?
00:40:23.52\00:40:24.02
Yes!
00:40:24.25\00:40:24.52
He opened his phone.
00:40:24.79\00:40:25.39
Is that you?
00:40:25.45\00:40:25.89
It's on his phone.
00:40:25.95\00:40:26.69
That's me.
00:40:27.39\00:40:31.36
So I said, what
Adventist church do you go to?
00:40:31.53\00:40:33.13
I'm not Adventist but
I watch you all the time.
00:40:33.19\00:40:35.20
On YouTube.
00:40:35.23\00:40:35.73
On YouTube.
00:40:36.06\00:40:36.77
And here we are sitting outside.
00:40:37.30\00:40:38.93
We could have
been in the restaurant.
00:40:38.97\00:40:40.10
But we all just
gathered in that spot.
00:40:40.17\00:40:41.57
He walked into the mall.
00:40:41.67\00:40:42.47
Is that you?
00:40:42.94\00:40:43.87
Yes.
00:40:44.04\00:40:46.61
Gave him a card.
00:40:46.78\00:40:47.54
And took a picture with him.
00:40:48.01\00:40:48.84
I have a photo of
him on my phone there.
00:40:48.94\00:40:50.58
But the timing,
amazing part of it.
00:40:50.68\00:40:52.91
You don't know the follow up.
00:40:52.95\00:40:53.95
No, we don't.
00:40:54.15\00:40:57.25
Australia after this event.
00:40:57.25\00:40:58.25
We're back here in the States.
00:40:58.35\00:40:59.29
And Terry Preston
says, this is incredible.
00:40:59.42\00:41:01.16
So this guy here you're talking
about, goes home and shows his
00:41:01.89\00:41:05.23
neighbor.
00:41:05.23\00:41:06.83
Here's Pastor John Loma King.
00:41:07.40\00:41:08.50
I see him on YouTube.
00:41:08.60\00:41:09.66
And he's telling
his neighbor about this.
00:41:09.83\00:41:11.57
And his neighbor is like,
Pastor John was just at my
00:41:11.90\00:41:14.77
church, the Bunbury
Seventh-day Adventist Church.
00:41:14.77\00:41:16.47
His neighbor is an Adventist.
00:41:16.47\00:41:16.50
So he was all excited.
00:41:17.77\00:41:18.74
A divine setup.
00:41:19.77\00:41:20.91
So the neighbor is
like, this is incredible.
00:41:21.01\00:41:22.54
So they're doing Bible
studies is my understanding.
00:41:22.64\00:41:24.18
So you think about that.
00:41:24.55\00:41:25.35
So he's so
excited that he met you.
00:41:25.38\00:41:27.35
He goes back and says,
you'll never believe it.
00:41:27.48\00:41:28.85
I met this famous
guy, Pastor John Loma King.
00:41:28.85\00:41:31.09
And he's like,
oh, he was just here.
00:41:31.19\00:41:33.05
So this guy is so excited.
00:41:33.42\00:41:34.66
He attended church,
actually, is what I was told.
00:41:34.69\00:41:36.86
You talk about
divine providence.
00:41:38.19\00:41:39.46
Isn't that incredible?
00:41:39.53\00:41:40.26
Only God can do this.
00:41:40.63\00:41:41.43
Only God can do it.
00:41:41.43\00:41:42.26
Like Danny says,
it's a setup, right?
00:41:42.30\00:41:43.73
It's a setup.
00:41:43.73\00:41:44.37
Sometimes I believe God
is saying, yeah, just wait.
00:41:45.40\00:41:48.54
Just wait.
00:41:48.87\00:41:49.47
He's on the way.
00:41:49.77\00:41:50.31
There he is.
00:41:50.51\00:41:51.07
He's coming.
00:41:51.17\00:41:51.51
He's coming now.
00:41:51.61\00:41:51.94
So praise God.
00:41:52.04\00:41:52.41
What a great time.
00:41:52.54\00:41:55.58
Adelaide.
00:41:55.58\00:41:56.85
Pastor Brenton there at
the Adelaide City Church.
00:41:56.91\00:41:59.55
And then we went up to Hamilton
and Pastor Justin Terosian.
00:41:59.58\00:42:03.25
So we're there and there.
00:42:03.69\00:42:04.95
So grateful for each one.
00:42:04.99\00:42:06.32
We have a couple of pictures.
00:42:06.35\00:42:07.29
Let's just see if we
can put those up right now.
00:42:07.42\00:42:10.09
John, we'll just walk through
a couple of the pictures.
00:42:10.09\00:42:11.43
Put my glasses on so I can see.
00:42:11.43\00:42:12.76
From our 3ABN
Australia trip here.
00:42:12.76\00:42:12.79
This is at Bunbury Church.
00:42:16.03\00:42:17.37
So we can just
move through them.
00:42:17.87\00:42:19.40
But that is
Terry Preston's church.
00:42:19.43\00:42:21.00
We were just talking about.
00:42:21.00\00:42:22.27
And again, the
overflow is in the foyer.
00:42:22.40\00:42:23.91
So yeah, absolutely.
00:42:24.41\00:42:25.24
We just keep clicking through.
00:42:25.41\00:42:28.31
That was incredible.
00:42:28.34\00:42:29.44
I just remember so many people
wanting freedom and healing,
00:42:29.58\00:42:33.25
breaking the chains.
00:42:33.55\00:42:34.72
I remember that
message, breaking the chains.
00:42:34.95\00:42:37.35
Of course, we're so
grateful for John and Rosemary
00:42:37.72\00:42:40.29
Malkovich, their leadership
there with 3ABN Australia.
00:42:40.29\00:42:43.86
Now this is the school.
00:42:44.03\00:42:44.86
Let's talk about the school.
00:42:44.93\00:42:46.09
1,200 students attended.
00:42:46.33\00:42:47.60
But they're not all at the
Adventist because they have
00:42:47.60\00:42:49.80
Muslim and Hindi.
00:42:49.80\00:42:51.47
More than 80% are not Adventist.
00:42:51.70\00:42:53.84
But it's an Adventist school.
00:42:54.00\00:42:54.97
So they're teaching
Adventist doctrine there.
00:42:55.04\00:42:56.44
That's right.
00:42:56.57\00:43:01.08
And we were there.
00:43:01.54\00:43:02.54
And Pastor John and Tim
ministered to the kids who came
00:43:03.21\00:43:06.31
in.
00:43:06.31\00:43:08.28
And his little girl.
00:43:08.28\00:43:09.02
And his daughter.
00:43:09.48\00:43:15.02
daughter.
00:43:15.02\00:43:15.42
Just this year.
00:43:15.46\00:43:16.29
And just a painful time.
00:43:17.66\00:43:19.39
And he had talked about how
they had reached out to 3ABN
00:43:19.49\00:43:22.16
and the pastoral department and
how 3ABN had helped walk them
00:43:22.16\00:43:25.97
through this
difficult, painful time.
00:43:25.97\00:43:28.10
And we had the opportunity
to connect with them.
00:43:28.40\00:43:30.47
Amen.
00:43:30.61\00:43:30.87
It's great being
there with the kids.
00:43:31.44\00:43:32.81
We only had about 10 minutes
with each class and they were
00:43:32.94\00:43:35.01
just...
00:43:35.01\00:43:35.98
Those kids are
highly interested.
00:43:35.98\00:43:37.48
Very much so.
00:43:37.88\00:43:41.45
Yes, he did.
00:43:41.52\00:43:42.85
They sang with them.
00:43:42.88\00:43:46.55
now we can look through the
camera and know that we've made
00:43:47.16\00:43:50.73
some connections.
00:43:50.73\00:43:51.46
And it's a point of endearment.
00:43:51.73\00:43:53.43
You know, we want to thank you
all for just taking the time to
00:43:53.76\00:43:56.16
come out and visit us.
00:43:56.16\00:43:57.43
That's right.
00:43:57.43\00:43:58.17
At all the stops we
stayed, all the venues.
00:43:58.37\00:44:00.04
It was such a
blessing to meet the people.
00:44:00.17\00:44:01.40
It was.
00:44:01.40\00:44:03.84
there are people on the other
side that we've connected to.
00:44:03.97\00:44:06.34
And so thank you for
being so supportive and you are
00:44:06.88\00:44:09.81
definitely a part of
our Thuravian family.
00:44:09.81\00:44:11.38
Amen.
00:44:11.65\00:44:12.41
And after we finished there
at Newcastle, then a lot of the
00:44:12.88\00:44:15.92
team, you all
went back to the U.S.
00:44:15.92\00:44:17.45
and Jill and I continued
south of Sydney to a women's
00:44:17.69\00:44:21.19
conference.
00:44:21.19\00:44:21.62
And they're doing a great job.
00:44:22.12\00:44:23.22
Ladies came from all over
to attend and be blessed there.
00:44:23.32\00:44:26.36
Jill, talk to us a
little bit about that.
00:44:26.39\00:44:27.66
Just special
thanks to Sister Mel.
00:44:28.16\00:44:30.20
Her name is Meliopetov.
00:44:30.37\00:44:32.37
She's the women's ministry
director there for the Greater
00:44:32.37\00:44:35.84
Sydney Conference.
00:44:35.84\00:44:36.81
She does an incredible
conference every year called
00:44:36.94\00:44:39.61
the Breathe Conference.
00:44:39.61\00:44:40.84
We have a picture of the
ladies, if you can put that up.
00:44:41.01\00:44:43.18
Her women's ministry team,
there they are all in pink.
00:44:43.41\00:44:46.28
And the theme was Woman of
Valor based on Ephesians 6.
00:44:46.65\00:44:49.58
So it was all about the helmet
and the shield of faith and the
00:44:49.62\00:44:54.22
belt of truth.
00:44:54.22\00:44:55.19
And so we had an incredible
time with the women there.
00:44:55.52\00:44:57.96
We can put up some
pictures of the ladies who came.
00:44:58.13\00:45:00.36
If you could put those up.
00:45:00.76\00:45:02.00
Those are the women who came in.
00:45:02.00\00:45:03.60
They came in from Cook Islands.
00:45:03.63\00:45:05.03
And there were Fijian and
Tongan and Papua New Guinea.
00:45:05.63\00:45:08.70
They flew in from there.
00:45:08.80\00:45:10.34
So it was an incredible time.
00:45:10.87\00:45:12.51
Five and six
hundred people came.
00:45:12.54\00:45:14.24
This is the woman from PNG.
00:45:14.78\00:45:17.01
So I just want to
pause a moment on that.
00:45:17.28\00:45:18.95
They came in, all 20
of them, flew in special.
00:45:19.25\00:45:22.88
They had saved their money
because it's a sacrifice for us
00:45:22.95\00:45:26.96
to come in and to come in.
00:45:26.96\00:45:28.89
And they love
the ministry of 3ABN.
00:45:28.89\00:45:31.39
I just want to show, you
know what these are, Angie.
00:45:31.39\00:45:33.66
I know you have these as well.
00:45:33.66\00:45:35.06
But the women actually
wear these on their head.
00:45:35.33\00:45:37.23
And they carry them like this.
00:45:37.30\00:45:39.07
And they carry their water,
if they're carrying water, or if
00:45:39.10\00:45:42.07
they're carrying their babies.
00:45:42.07\00:45:43.14
And just special thanks
to each one of the team.
00:45:43.61\00:45:46.21
I'm trying to think.
00:45:46.34\00:45:47.01
This is the PNG
woman, Sister Mona Lisa.
00:45:47.28\00:45:50.95
So just be part of the 3ABN
family and all the women from
00:45:51.48\00:45:55.48
PNG.
00:45:55.48\00:45:55.92
Let's put up the Tongan picture.
00:45:56.32\00:45:57.99
The sisters from Tonga.
00:45:58.42\00:45:59.92
And this is Sister Leyte.
00:45:59.92\00:46:01.59
And there's the
woman from Tonga.
00:46:02.36\00:46:04.59
And they gave one of these
little wrap things, you know,
00:46:05.26\00:46:08.86
sarongs that you wear.
00:46:09.00\00:46:10.00
So thank you.
00:46:10.23\00:46:10.97
You have those too.
00:46:11.10\00:46:12.07
So thank you.
00:46:12.47\00:46:13.44
And then the sisters from Fiji.
00:46:13.50\00:46:15.84
This is Sister Liku.
00:46:16.27\00:46:18.04
And special thanks to her.
00:46:19.04\00:46:20.28
And they brought their women's
ministry team from there as
00:46:20.48\00:46:22.78
well.
00:46:22.78\00:46:22.94
So just wonderful time.
00:46:23.35\00:46:25.05
Opening up the Word
of God and fellowship.
00:46:25.48\00:46:27.55
And thank you all so much for
being part of the 3ABN family.
00:46:27.92\00:46:31.22
They love them.
00:46:31.89\00:46:32.62
Some Sabbath school panel.
00:46:32.65\00:46:33.86
And you know that
Ryan and Pastor John.
00:46:34.72\00:46:36.99
Just incredible
blessing to see that.
00:46:37.29\00:46:39.19
So transitioning, Miss Addie.
00:46:39.86\00:46:41.43
Well, can I just say something?
00:46:41.46\00:46:42.40
Yes.
00:46:42.63\00:46:45.67
women's conference too.
00:46:45.67\00:46:46.60
You were there.
00:46:46.63\00:46:47.17
The only man.
00:46:47.80\00:46:48.80
And yes, I was accepted.
00:46:49.10\00:46:50.41
So thank you so very much.
00:46:50.67\00:46:51.67
We were treated well.
00:46:51.81\00:46:52.87
And again, thank you so
much for your hospitality.
00:46:52.91\00:46:54.81
Absolutely fantastic.
00:46:55.31\00:46:56.44
Were they all the presenters?
00:46:56.51\00:46:57.68
Joe was the keynote speaker.
00:46:58.58\00:47:01.12
I think spoke five times
in a day and a half or less.
00:47:01.32\00:47:05.19
One hour presentations each one.
00:47:05.89\00:47:07.36
But yes, it was a real blessing.
00:47:08.22\00:47:09.92
There was a woman there.
00:47:10.46\00:47:11.76
She did an incredible job.
00:47:11.76\00:47:11.79
She did the
early morning meetings.
00:47:12.89\00:47:14.00
Yes, she did.
00:47:14.10\00:47:14.63
Just a great lady.
00:47:14.63\00:47:14.66
So she's an attorney.
00:47:16.23\00:47:17.30
From Australia.
00:47:17.83\00:47:19.73
So yeah, it was great.
00:47:19.93\00:47:20.80
Yeah, absolutely.
00:47:21.44\00:47:21.84
Miss Addie, talk to
us about Donation Center.
00:47:23.00\00:47:25.37
And first of all,
what is Donation Center?
00:47:25.57\00:47:27.31
What does it mean you
work in the Donation Center?
00:47:27.31\00:47:30.11
What does that mean?
00:47:30.15\00:47:30.85
Well, first, let me start with
a Bible verse, Miss Jill, found
00:47:31.38\00:47:34.82
in Proverbs
chapter 11, verse 25.
00:47:34.82\00:47:38.19
A generous person will prosper.
00:47:38.82\00:47:40.86
Whoever refreshes
others will be refreshed.
00:47:41.36\00:47:43.96
Amen.
00:47:43.99\00:47:44.36
Amen.
00:47:44.63\00:47:51.50
jewelry, or a model car,
trains, anything that people
00:47:51.77\00:47:56.94
collect.
00:47:56.94\00:47:57.71
And then we sell it and use the
money to support 3ABN ministry.
00:47:58.21\00:48:02.38
Amen.
00:48:02.51\00:48:06.15
Because sometimes we think,
well, I don't have any money to
00:48:06.61\00:48:09.05
send, but yet people might have
things at home that they're not
00:48:09.05\00:48:11.75
using.
00:48:11.75\00:48:12.19
Right.
00:48:12.45\00:48:12.69
Okay.
00:48:12.85\00:48:13.25
Yep.
00:48:13.82\00:48:16.66
alluded to that.
00:48:16.66\00:48:20.96
saying, Lord, I want to
help the ministry of 3ABN.
00:48:20.96\00:48:23.26
What do I have in my hand?
00:48:23.40\00:48:25.17
And God said, you've
got your two acres of land.
00:48:25.17\00:48:27.44
And that's how
the uplink started.
00:48:27.54\00:48:28.47
So isn't that amazing?
00:48:29.17\00:48:32.64
don't actually have cash to
give, but I've got some land to
00:48:32.64\00:48:34.78
give.
00:48:34.78\00:48:37.98
3ABN.
00:48:37.98\00:48:38.51
Is that right?
00:48:38.58\00:48:39.18
So what are some of those items?
00:48:39.38\00:48:40.52
So I know you've got there,
is it some gold and silver bars?
00:48:40.98\00:48:43.95
Yeah, this is a silver bar.
00:48:44.42\00:48:45.55
It says 0.999 silver
and a gold coin, gold bar.
00:48:45.72\00:48:50.56
And yeah, then I see here, I
don't think they can quite see
00:48:52.19\00:48:54.46
that, but there's,
let me grab this one here.
00:48:54.46\00:48:56.20
This is something
that someone has donated.
00:48:56.46\00:48:57.97
I'll cover this up as to who
this is, but this is actually a
00:48:58.40\00:49:02.94
gold watch.
00:49:02.94\00:49:03.57
Yeah, so a gold watch.
00:49:03.94\00:49:04.91
An Elgin watch.
00:49:04.91\00:49:05.57
Elgin?
00:49:05.74\00:49:06.17
Elgin watch.
00:49:06.37\00:49:07.18
That somebody's given and
donated to the ministry of
00:49:07.51\00:49:09.68
3ABN.
00:49:09.68\00:49:10.41
And again, these are sold and
the proceeds go into evangelism
00:49:10.91\00:49:14.35
right here, 3ABN.
00:49:14.35\00:49:15.32
Amen.
00:49:15.92\00:49:16.22
And we also have this.
00:49:16.48\00:49:18.15
People like to collect trains.
00:49:18.82\00:49:20.49
So if you have trains at
home and we know you can't take
00:49:21.02\00:49:25.36
trains to heaven,
because we'll be flying, right?
00:49:25.36\00:49:28.43
But trains and
we have figurines.
00:49:28.90\00:49:32.03
So if you have several
figurines, please think of 3ABN
00:49:32.23\00:49:37.61
as one of the
recipients of your generosity.
00:49:37.61\00:49:40.28
This is a
Hummel figurine, right?
00:49:40.94\00:49:42.24
It is a Hummel figurine.
00:49:42.31\00:49:43.71
And also we have coins.
00:49:43.81\00:49:46.25
Yes.
00:49:46.41\00:49:47.05
This is a 2010
American Eagle silver dollar.
00:49:47.42\00:49:51.32
So this is a proof dollar.
00:49:51.32\00:49:55.16
So it's like a mirror
so you can see yourself.
00:49:55.52\00:49:57.63
So it's a silver dollar.
00:49:57.89\00:49:59.69
And also another
coin, a Morgan dollar.
00:50:00.50\00:50:05.00
That's silver.
00:50:06.17\00:50:06.70
Yeah, it's a silver.
00:50:07.04\00:50:08.10
It's an 1887 Morgan dollar.
00:50:08.40\00:50:10.77
And also we have this book also.
00:50:11.94\00:50:14.94
This lady from Iowa
donated thousands of coins.
00:50:15.28\00:50:18.58
So thank you so much for that.
00:50:18.65\00:50:20.25
And this is number one
Liberty standing half dollar.
00:50:20.25\00:50:24.99
So I just listed this yesterday.
00:50:25.85\00:50:27.62
So if you guys, you have this
at home, please consider 3ABN
00:50:27.99\00:50:32.09
as one of the
recipients of your generosity.
00:50:32.09\00:50:34.63
Do you have coins on the inside?
00:50:35.23\00:50:36.33
Yes.
00:50:36.56\00:50:37.97
Some are complete, but
this one is incomplete.
00:50:39.23\00:50:41.40
I can see this.
00:50:41.54\00:50:42.17
But that's fine.
00:50:42.17\00:50:42.64
We don't need complete.
00:50:42.74\00:50:49.38
And what are some
of the other items?
00:50:49.38\00:50:51.75
I know this is just a sampling.
00:50:51.88\00:50:52.91
I know musical instruments.
00:50:53.38\00:50:54.75
Yeah, we accept
musical instruments and purses.
00:50:55.45\00:50:58.89
If you have purse,
women like to collect purse.
00:50:59.45\00:51:03.06
And purses are actually a hot
item now as far as the vintage,
00:51:03.39\00:51:06.59
right?
00:51:06.80\00:51:10.10
80s, 1980s and 90s.
00:51:10.40\00:51:13.00
And these would
be like name brand.
00:51:13.07\00:51:14.54
Name brand purses from the
1980s and 90s, depending on the
00:51:14.77\00:51:18.14
condition they're in, they can
bring in tens of thousands of
00:51:18.14\00:51:21.14
purses.
00:51:21.14\00:51:23.31
I know, right?
00:51:23.48\00:51:24.38
And Jill is
highly vintage, right?
00:51:25.18\00:51:27.12
80s.
00:51:28.65\00:51:29.25
Wow.
00:51:29.42\00:51:29.88
Yeah.
00:51:30.15\00:51:30.49
Wow.
00:51:30.72\00:51:31.05
So.
00:51:31.42\00:51:31.69
And what else?
00:51:32.09\00:51:32.79
We have cameras.
00:51:33.89\00:51:35.29
We have Nikon, Sony,
Pastor John uses Sony.
00:51:35.92\00:51:40.03
So if you want to donate your
Sony to Pastor, we will gladly
00:51:40.16\00:51:45.23
accept it.
00:51:45.23\00:51:46.37
And also electronics, even
though it's not working, you
00:51:46.37\00:51:49.54
can sell it for parts only.
00:51:49.54\00:51:51.21
And also baseball
cards or any types of sports.
00:51:52.41\00:51:55.78
You have baseball,
basketball, jewelry.
00:51:55.98\00:51:58.65
Sometimes people have jewelry
that they're no longer using or
00:51:58.71\00:52:02.22
that they just have in a drawer
and say, you know, I don't need
00:52:02.22\00:52:05.12
this.
00:52:05.12\00:52:05.79
And certain actually costume
jewelry is actually sought
00:52:06.29\00:52:08.49
after too now as well,
some type of costume jewelry.
00:52:08.49\00:52:12.29
Like turquoise
and the other type.
00:52:12.39\00:52:14.13
And the gemstones also, if it
has gemstones, it's worth a lot
00:52:14.93\00:52:19.30
too.
00:52:19.30\00:52:21.60
might have something, do they
just send it in right away or
00:52:21.60\00:52:23.91
should they call you first?
00:52:23.91\00:52:24.54
Yeah, they need to call.
00:52:24.54\00:52:25.31
Yeah.
00:52:25.57\00:52:30.98
And of course, you know, I
don't want to decline anything
00:52:31.15\00:52:34.05
because every cent belongs
to the Lord, belongs to the
00:52:34.05\00:52:37.49
ministry.
00:52:37.49\00:52:40.12
So just please give us
a call of what you have.
00:52:40.32\00:52:43.22
So you can call us right
now, not right now, because it's
00:52:44.13\00:52:46.96
Thursday night, but you
can call Addie anytime during
00:52:46.96\00:52:49.83
business hours, 618-627-4651,
and extension 3079.
00:52:49.83\00:52:56.81
Yes,
618-627-4651, extension 3079.
00:52:57.41\00:53:04.48
Correct.
00:53:05.31\00:53:08.42
We've had actually some,
and you may be watching this
00:53:08.55\00:53:11.22
evening, have
donated motor homes.
00:53:11.22\00:53:12.52
We had a gentleman actually
a few years back donate us a
00:53:12.52\00:53:15.79
very, very nice sports car.
00:53:15.79\00:53:17.36
They said, you know what?
00:53:17.36\00:53:17.39
I've got this just
sitting around here.
00:53:18.46\00:53:19.96
I want to just donate
that to the ministry of 3ABN.
00:53:20.00\00:53:22.53
And of course, actually, you
do get receipts from 3ABN for
00:53:22.83\00:53:25.37
these items.
00:53:25.37\00:53:25.90
Addie can answer those
questions for you on how all of
00:53:26.47\00:53:28.60
that works, your
donation to 3ABN.
00:53:28.60\00:53:30.84
But again, it's just incredible
because sometimes in our homes,
00:53:31.21\00:53:33.74
we look at the stuff and we
say, ah, yeah, I don't think
00:53:34.28\00:53:36.51
that's really worth anything.
00:53:36.51\00:53:37.61
Call Addie, she'll walk you
through that because again, you
00:53:37.71\00:53:39.88
have to ship it to 3ABN.
00:53:39.88\00:53:41.02
We'll figure out ways
of getting it to 3ABN.
00:53:41.02\00:53:43.42
There's logistics and all that.
00:53:43.52\00:53:44.72
She has the answer.
00:53:45.02\00:53:45.75
So again, call that
number 618 -627-4651.
00:53:45.95\00:53:49.02
Here's the key
part, the extension.
00:53:49.76\00:53:51.03
3079, right?
00:53:52.73\00:53:53.70
So call 3ABN's number.
00:53:53.73\00:53:54.93
Her extension is 3079.
00:53:55.43\00:53:57.33
And again, we thank you so much
for supporting 3ABN this way
00:53:57.83\00:54:00.84
because I think Bruce and Tammy
Chance for years started out
00:54:00.84\00:54:04.14
this aspect of 3ABN
and for 20 plus years.
00:54:04.14\00:54:07.21
And no one ever really retires,
but they just said, okay, we're
00:54:08.14\00:54:10.91
going to retire.
00:54:10.91\00:54:11.68
And so Lord, we just thank
them for what the Lord has done
00:54:12.08\00:54:14.78
through them to
bless the ministry of 3ABN.
00:54:14.78\00:54:17.39
Thank you, Addie,
for picking up the reins.
00:54:17.52\00:54:19.19
You've been a part of
this department for a number of
00:54:19.39\00:54:21.56
years now and have just
taken on as the management role.
00:54:21.56\00:54:24.23
So thank you so much for that.
00:54:24.29\00:54:25.59
Your leadership and your
excitement to again, you and
00:54:25.63\00:54:28.93
your husband and family to
bless the ministry of 3ABN this
00:54:28.93\00:54:31.50
way.
00:54:31.50\00:54:35.17
to live longer, be generous.
00:54:35.17\00:54:36.87
Mmm, that's good.
00:54:37.81\00:54:38.41
I like that.
00:54:38.41\00:54:39.07
I like that.
00:54:39.07\00:54:39.11
That's very good.
00:54:40.41\00:54:41.14
God loves the cheerful giver.
00:54:41.21\00:54:42.31
He does.
00:54:42.71\00:54:43.21
That's right.
00:54:43.61\00:54:44.41
I just thinking rally
wise, let's talk briefly about
00:54:44.75\00:54:47.25
Jamaica.
00:54:47.25\00:54:50.72
So that's coming up
in a couple of months.
00:54:50.79\00:54:52.22
And Sabbath, February 22.
00:54:52.59\00:54:55.32
So Danny and Yvonne will
be going and Pastor John and
00:54:55.76\00:54:58.23
Angie, Tim Parton of course,
Ricky and Jasmine Carter are
00:54:58.23\00:55:01.36
going.
00:55:01.36\00:55:05.77
-day Adventist Church and
all day Sabbath at the Northern
00:55:05.77\00:55:09.54
Caribbean University.
00:55:09.54\00:55:11.64
Oh yeah.
00:55:11.64\00:55:12.41
The Gymnatorium, which
I understand seats 2,000.
00:55:12.64\00:55:15.71
So that is a
tremendous blessing.
00:55:16.14\00:55:18.11
We're looking forward to
meeting our 3ABN family there.
00:55:18.35\00:55:20.42
I don't know if you want to
speak to them going to Jamaica.
00:55:20.42\00:55:22.32
Yeah, matter of
fact, we were just at NCU.
00:55:22.78\00:55:24.82
My family is Jamaican.
00:55:24.82\00:55:25.82
Our family is Jamaican.
00:55:25.95\00:55:26.86
We were at NCU not too long ago.
00:55:26.92\00:55:28.42
So Jasmine too.
00:55:28.72\00:55:29.32
And Jasmine, that's right.
00:55:29.59\00:55:31.29
Yeah.
00:55:31.76\00:55:32.16
It's a thriving campus.
00:55:32.33\00:55:33.23
It's going to be
a wonderful time.
00:55:33.33\00:55:34.60
They love 3ABN.
00:55:34.60\00:55:36.90
Jamaica loves 3ABN.
00:55:37.30\00:55:39.30
And there's a little saying
that the Jamaicans like over
00:55:40.00\00:55:43.20
there and we had, we visited
with a family and enjoyed it
00:55:43.20\00:55:47.98
there.
00:55:47.98\00:55:49.41
There's so much more I
could say about Jamaica.
00:55:49.74\00:55:51.01
NCU, Northern Caribbean
University used to be called
00:55:51.78\00:55:54.98
West Indies
College back in the day.
00:55:54.98\00:55:57.29
And my sister went there
back in the day many years ago.
00:55:57.52\00:56:00.96
And it's a wonderful school.
00:56:01.42\00:56:03.12
The nursing school is
so many aspects of it.
00:56:03.12\00:56:07.10
Theology school.
00:56:07.30\00:56:07.96
Theology.
00:56:08.30\00:56:08.73
Seminary.
00:56:08.86\00:56:09.23
Yeah.
00:56:09.50\00:56:10.10
So we look forward
to going home for me.
00:56:10.43\00:56:12.60
That's right.
00:56:12.83\00:56:13.27
Yeah, that's coming soon.
00:56:13.47\00:56:14.37
So again, those dates,
Jill, when we'll be there?
00:56:14.54\00:56:16.24
Friday night, February 21 and
all day Sabbath, February 22.
00:56:16.34\00:56:20.68
So we just look
forward to seeing you there.
00:56:20.74\00:56:22.41
I know we've just
got a few seconds left.
00:56:22.58\00:56:23.88
But also we've had a number
of people when we go to a rally
00:56:23.91\00:56:25.98
like this, we'll have
people flying from other places.
00:56:25.98\00:56:27.82
So you don't have
to be just in Jamaica.
00:56:27.85\00:56:29.08
So if you want to meet us in
Jamaica and a good excuse to go
00:56:29.18\00:56:31.19
to Jamaica in February,
come to the rally right there in
00:56:31.19\00:56:33.96
February.
00:56:33.96\00:56:34.36
Yes, absolutely.
00:56:35.02\00:56:35.79
Thank you,
Pastor John and Angie.
00:56:35.96\00:56:37.49
Thank you, Ryan.
00:56:37.73\00:56:38.49
Thank you, Ian.
00:56:38.69\00:56:39.49
Thank you, Miss Addie.
00:56:39.69\00:56:40.90
Thank you all for
being part of the family.
00:56:41.30\00:56:43.16
What a privilege to work
together and to serve Jesus and
00:56:43.26\00:56:46.43
be in ministry together.
00:56:46.43\00:56:47.80
We just thank you for being
part of the Trinitian family.
00:56:48.40\00:56:50.84
This is our last Behind
the Saints for this year, 2024.
00:56:50.91\00:56:54.21
So just encourage you to open
up your heart to the Lord Jesus
00:56:54.51\00:56:58.51
and look with eager expectation
what he wants to do in and
00:56:58.51\00:57:02.42
through you next year.
00:57:02.42\00:57:03.99
Bye-bye.
00:57:04.25\00:57:04.82
