00:12 We're so glad that you have joined us for the second hour. 00:15 I hope that you were encouraged the second hour. 00:17 I know that we were here on the set. 00:19 Again, we're just talking about the goodness of God, how He's 00:22 continuing to provide for the ministry of 3ABN. 00:26 Jill, we were talking about camp meeting and that upcoming 00:29 event. 00:31 The second hour we're going to be talking about the 3ABN 00:34 Latino Camp Meeting that's going to be happening right 00:36 here on the campus of 3ABN. 00:39 So many exciting things taking place here at your ministry, 00:43 3ABN. 00:44 Again, we thank you for your continued prayers and financial 00:47 support for this ministry. 00:49 I just think about how exciting it is to participate together. 00:53 Jill, I think about all of us here at 3ABN. 00:56 There's only about 130 full -time employees or so here at 01:00 3ABN. 01:01 So we can't just do it by ourselves. 01:02 We need you to get involved and we thank you so very much. 01:06 So if the ministry of 3ABN has blessed you and you've just 01:09 never given before to 3ABN, this would be a great time to 01:13 start, kind of at the beginning of the year and just say, you 01:16 know what? 01:17 I'm going to give systematically to the ministry 01:19 of 3ABN to help proclaim the Gospel around the world. 01:23 And together we can finish this work. 01:26 Praise God. 01:27 Amen. 01:31 hour. 01:35 Dinzey. 01:36 Yay! 01:36 Glad you both are here tonight. 01:38 It's a blessing to be here and we just rejoice to see how the 01:42 Lord is working and opening doors. 01:45 Thank you for the invitation. 01:46 I'm excited to hear of what God is doing and sharing of what 01:50 God is doing through 3ABN. 01:52 Amen. 01:53 Absolutely. 01:57 3ABN Latinos are involved in. 01:58 You just came back, Pastor Johnny. 02:01 Last week. 02:01 Just last week. 02:02 So we'll get a good report from your trip there. 02:06 Coming around the table here, we have Brother Moses Primo and 02:10 your beautiful wife is not here tonight but he does have a 02:13 beautiful wife too, Adima. 02:15 But so glad that you're here. 02:16 Of course, you're Director of Broadcasting and Engineering 02:18 and also wear the hat of General Manager for French. 02:22 I just want to give a little update of what God is doing for 02:25 the French-speaking community and we have new programs that I 02:30 like to show everyone and also give a little update and some 02:35 other possibilities of evangelizing outside of the 02:40 United States. 02:41 So I'm very excited and very happy to share behind the 02:45 scenes what is happening in our office here. 02:50 Oh, yeah. 02:51 You know, that is true here at 3ABN. 02:53 We wear many hats, right? 02:54 We do many different things. 02:56 I mean, you've even like done some cooking stuff for us too 02:59 and cooked us some wonderful food. 03:00 She's a great cook. 03:01 Oh, yes, she is. 03:03 So you have to be willing in ministry to do whatever God 03:06 wants you to do and I just appreciate all of you in free 03:09 willingness to do whatever God calls you to do. 03:12 And so again, it's a blessing to be in ministry together. 03:14 It is indeed. 03:17 Our summer camp meeting is June 4 through 7 so we just 03:21 encourage you to come, sign up for those RV spots or get a 03:27 Airbnb or a hotel or something in the local community or bring 03:30 your tent. 03:31 It's free and you can tent. 03:33 We would love to have you here. 03:35 The theme, of course, is preparing to proclaim the final 03:38 cry. 03:41 And what is that? 03:42 I was looking for it here but I know you know all that 03:44 information, the website that people can go to for all that 03:47 information like all the speakers and such. 03:50 3ABNcampmeeting.org. 03:53 we have the speakers and the schedule and all of that 03:55 information. 03:56 So let's talk about our 3ABN Latino Camp Meeting. 03:59 This is the second ever on our campus. 04:03 I know you've had multiple camp meetings in other locations but 04:06 talk to us about the dates and what's happening and theme and 04:10 all of that. 04:11 Wonderful, wonderful things to share. 04:15 August 13 through the 16th are the dates that we will be 04:19 having 3ABN Latino Camp Meeting right here on 3ABN campus and 04:23 we invite those that speak Spanish and those that would 04:26 like to learn to speak Spanish. 04:27 There you go, that's good. 04:28 So that they can enjoy the blessing. 04:30 You know we were thinking about the theme Families for Heaven 04:36 but after seeing the theme for the 3ABN Camp Meeting and we 04:42 took that to prayer and we looked at the different topics 04:47 and then we looked at the Sabbath School lesson quarterly 04:50 that's on that particular Sabbath and we say that really 04:54 lines up with the theme of the camp meeting. 05:00 So we decided to change to the parent theme for camp meeting. 05:06 So preparing for, in English it's... 05:09 Proclaiming. 05:11 Preparing to proclaim the final cry is the title in English. 05:16 It seems like a continuation of last year. 05:18 It is. 05:23 reality is the time that we're living in demands these type of 05:26 topics. 05:28 And so we have changed and so now we are kind of working some 05:32 things over and we're excited. 05:34 We're really excited because we believe this will be 05:37 encouragement, inspiration and hopefully we'll call some 05:41 people back to the Lord because the times indicate that Jesus 05:45 Christ is coming soon. 05:48 So those details are still the same as they are for the 05:50 English Camp Meeting. 05:54 We have a nice bath house, the food is complimentary. 05:58 Children's meetings, right? 05:59 Oh, yes. 05:59 Denzy? 06:00 Yes. 06:05 overall Children's Division this summer. 06:07 She did a great job. 06:08 Yes, she did. 06:10 And she's retiring in May. 06:13 And she says, I'd be more than happy to. 06:18 And I'll be more available. 06:20 So she's got a great team of people because as you know, she 06:23 goes to different churches throughout the North American 06:25 Division, the Spanish churches, and she trains them for the 06:29 Vacation Bible School programs. 06:31 So she has worked with a variety of people and she's got 06:36 a lot of volunteers who are willing to come. 06:38 Now the volunteers that attended the first camp 06:42 meeting, they're anxious to come back as well. 06:45 So praise the Lord, we're going to have new faces but also some 06:49 of the faces that supported us in the first camp meeting. 06:53 Oh, yeah, and of course there'll be tours of 3ABN if 06:55 someone's never been or has been before but wants to see an 06:58 updated tour, or have an updated tour, those will be 07:00 available here too. 07:02 Right. 07:06 And you know, a lot of our guests are influencers, you 07:09 know, social media, and they show a lot of videos and 07:12 pictures and everybody's like, well, I would love to be there. 07:15 Even myself, you know, I share a lot of stuff. 07:17 From here, and but once they get here, they're like, I never 07:22 imagined the size of this complex, you know, the campus 07:26 and the buildings and all the services, the donation center 07:30 that was well visited. 07:33 You know, we Latinos love to go bargain hop and go shopping. 07:38 So, you know, this money that came in because people have 07:43 items of value but chose to donate it to 3ABN so that it 07:47 can support the preaching of the Gospel. 07:49 You know, we're growing and a lot of demands come in. 07:53 Well, you guys already know it because you're the bosses here. 07:56 No, no, but that's just right. 07:57 People are really excited to go. 08:00 They love the bus ride or the transit, the vans from the 08:05 worship center when they came to the main building, 08:09 production building. 08:10 And there it said, as English -speaking guests say, it feels 08:15 as though we're standing on holy ground. 08:16 And they're just so moved. 08:18 And I don't know how many tons of pictures they took. 08:21 But anyway, it's exciting to receive our viewers here. 08:24 The fellowship, isn't it? 08:25 It's so encouraging. 08:26 Oh, yes. 08:27 It was also encouraging to hear from Clotis, our call center 08:30 representative in Spanish, that people are asking for the 08:34 dates. 08:34 What are the dates? 08:38 even some request vacation to come. 08:40 So that's really a blessing. 08:42 And we are just asking for people to pray for the Lord to 08:46 pour out his Holy Spirit and that it will be a tremendous 08:49 blessing and awakening. 08:51 One of the things that seems very important to our family is 08:56 food, you know. 09:00 I'd say one of the things we do well at Trevia is eat. 09:04 We love those potlucks and the fellowship together. 09:07 Yes, exactly. 09:09 So for the first camp meeting, we have chef Ines and she, 09:13 along with three other friends of hers, and the Trevian 09:16 family, were with us for then. 09:19 But for the Trevian Latino Camp Meeting 2025, we have Chef 09:23 Manuel. 09:24 And he's coming from Florida with his wife. 09:26 And they cater to all of the conference-level camp meetings 09:30 and special events. 09:32 And so it's exciting that the Lord provides. 09:36 And we're looking forward to his cooking as well. 09:39 We've had it before. 09:40 It's wonderful food. 09:41 It's excellent. 09:44 And healthy. 09:45 Yes, that is right. 09:47 So anyway, the children will be well tended to by the grace of 09:52 God. 09:55 And keep praying for these volunteers because one had a 10:00 flat tire, the other one had an issue from work. 10:03 I mean, the devil always, you know, tries to put his tail in 10:06 there. 10:10 Even those speakers. 10:11 Anyway, so that's exciting. 10:13 So the dates again are August 13-16 in August. 10:19 And so if somebody has an RV, they still need a call like 10:21 they do for English, right? 10:23 And reserve a spot. 10:24 We have a form that they have to register in. 10:27 And it helps us because the Children's Division, for 10:30 example, last year when they registered, we didn't ask for 10:33 the age group. 10:37 group. 10:38 So it helps us. 10:39 You don't have to, but it's nice to have an idea as to, you 10:43 know, how many people are coming. 10:44 And it's helpful for the people to register because we want to 10:47 make sure that we don't buy too much food or too little food. 10:51 So we're asking the people that are coming to please register. 10:55 It doesn't cost anything to register. 10:57 You don't have to pay anything to register. 10:58 It's just to give us an idea how many potatoes to buy, how 11:02 much rice to buy, you know, and these type of things that will 11:05 help us save money and be prepared because we hate for 11:08 people to come to the line and then, oh, we ran out. 11:11 So we also don't want to waste. 11:15 So we want to ask people to please register. 11:17 Yeah, no, I mean, we're excited about it. 11:19 I know that I cannot speak Spanish really very well, but I 11:22 was able to attend some of them. 11:24 And there was also, I had a little earbud in, someone was 11:26 doing some translating work too, which was very nice. 11:28 I could hear it in English then too. 11:30 So that was nice. 11:32 Yes, we had the participation of our very own Jorge Hacke, 11:35 who translated the English bouts for men and also 11:39 volunteer Angelina Roldan from Puerto Rico. 11:44 Yes, did a great job. 11:48 So it was such a blessing and heartwarming. 11:50 It was exciting to hear the song in Spanish for the first 11:54 time. 11:55 And the Lord really blessed with the musicians and the 11:58 whole program really. 11:59 For this year, there are some churches that have said that 12:02 they're not going to have their church service, that they want 12:04 to close and come over here for church service. 12:07 So we'll see. 12:09 That's wonderful. 12:10 That's very exciting. 12:11 I know we have some more Latino updates, but Dr. Mo, I want to 12:15 come to you and talk to us about this really incredible 12:17 opportunity in a country outside of the United States, 12:20 but something that I believe you at home will really want to 12:23 get behind because this is an amazing, an amazing 12:26 opportunity. 12:27 Yes, it is an opportunity that, honestly, I did not expect it 12:34 until they contacted us and asked to use our programs. 12:42 And they translated some in two different languages there and 12:47 sent me the sample and I said, wow, this is really amazing 12:50 work, what they are doing. 12:53 As you know, Pakistan is a very difficult area to preach the 13:00 Gospel, the Christian Gospel. 13:05 But somebody locally there was able to contact the cable 13:09 companies and secure a channel for 3ABN. 13:15 Amen! 13:17 Praise the Lord! 13:17 Thank you, Jesus! 13:19 We have to pay. 13:20 It's not a lot in comparison here to the United States. 13:23 But it does cost. 13:24 It does cost. 13:26 And the potential is for 4.5 million people. 13:32 4.5 million? 13:33 Wow! 13:34 But we didn't have all the funds, so we are going to start 13:38 a little bit just with the 3 million. 13:41 That's still a lot of people. 13:43 But it will be in three major cities and we are raising funds 13:48 for this project because we need the consistency and keep 13:53 the channels paid. 13:57 So there is no 24-7 and then it stops and then you have to 14:02 start it again. 14:04 So we need a continuous support to secure this channel. 14:11 So we are raising funds if you wanted to help on this project. 14:16 Just earmark your donation to Pakistan and that would be for 14:21 cable companies in Pakistan. 14:23 We are going to start with 3.1 million and the potential is to 14:28 grow to 4.5. 14:30 So it's a very amazing project. 14:35 I know that there are forces that are strongly oppressing 14:41 this but God is greater and mightier and He already won the 14:48 battle. 14:49 But we needed to give this message to people. 14:53 There are a lot of sincere people that still wanted to 14:57 hear about Jesus and the sacrifice and the cross and the 15:00 plan of salvation. 15:01 You know what I like about this is that... 15:04 I'm sorry, you're going to say something. 15:05 Pakistan is part of the 1040 window. 15:07 So you think in that region of the world that so many people 15:12 are different religions, non -Christian and have not either 15:17 had access to the Gospel or these unreached people groups. 15:21 So what an incredible opportunity for 3ABN to 15:26 proclaim the Gospel within that 1040 window. 15:29 And I know we take the Gospel to the world but in a special 15:32 sense for those 3.1 million people there with the cable 15:36 system, what an incredible opportunity. 15:38 So as Brother Moses just mentioned, you can call us 15:41 right now if you would like to donate and just say, I want to 15:44 donate to Pakistan. 15:45 You can call us 618-627-4651 and you want to help support 15:51 that monthly cost for cable there in Pakistan or you can 15:56 send us a check in the mail as well. 15:57 Absolutely, we get still quite a few checks here with 3ABN. 16:00 So yeah, just like Dr. Mo mentioned in the memo line, you 16:02 can just put Pakistan, Pakistan cable, however it is and it'll 16:05 go toward this. 16:06 Go ahead, Dr. Mo. 16:11 It's a little small but you can see that there are so many 16:15 cities in the East Coast that there are hundreds of thousands 16:20 of population and some of them are even up to 1.1 million in 16:29 some of those cities. 16:31 And all of these areas that are marked, they have a cable 16:35 company that is willing to take us. 16:39 Yeah, no, I mean, this is amazing, Dr. Mo, because I 16:41 mean, this reminds me of Cuba, right? 16:43 A door open because we do have a budget here at 3ABN that we 16:46 just say it's on paper because we have no idea how much money 16:48 is going to come in in a given year, right? 16:50 So this Pakistan thing was not on any type of a budget but 16:54 it's like, you know, a door is opening and you and I talked, 16:57 it's like, okay, we just need to kind of go forward in this 16:59 thing, trying to somehow make it work even though technically 17:01 the money is not there. 17:03 But you have to go forward because the predominant 17:06 religion there is Muslim. 17:09 And we can't tell you all the details just for the sake of 17:13 safety over there but like the cable owner is Muslim. 17:17 He's not even Christian. 17:18 And so I'm telling you folks, for this to happen, it's a 17:21 miracle. 17:25 into some major cities there in Pakistan and the owner of the 17:30 cable company is Muslim and it's amazing. 17:33 I've seen some video footage that you gave to me and you can 17:36 see the panning from the rooftop of that business and 17:39 you can see the mosques. 17:40 It's like New York, you know, in terms of population and one 17:46 house on top of the other, there are a lot of rooftops. 17:49 And a lot of mosques you can see too in the background. 17:52 We hope that as we start in March and the next behind the 17:57 scenes we can show some of this video. 18:01 This is brand new, folks, this is brand new. 18:03 It's amazing. 18:04 It is, it's an opportunity. 18:06 We just have to say yes, here we go and the Lord will take 18:09 care of it. 18:10 And that means to me then that there are people that the 18:13 timing is perfect for them to hear the Christian gospel 18:16 there, right? 18:18 It's amazing. 18:26 school panel. 18:26 That's right. 18:27 And they charge very, very small fee for the people that 18:33 work. 18:34 Local languages. 18:35 And, you know, it's $60 for one hour of programs and we only 18:40 pay for two programs. 18:42 But they said, you know what, we're not going to put just the 18:46 programs that we translated. 18:48 We're going to put 24 hours in English and the people will 18:53 understand what is going on. 18:55 So there is potential for translation but we're going to 18:59 be 24 hours even in English. 19:02 See, that's amazing too, right? 19:03 It's not just a certain time slot in the day. 19:05 It's actually 24 hours a day. 19:08 And it's on cable. 19:09 It's not just kind of out there but it's actually cable. 19:10 People have many subscriptions to these cable companies. 19:12 So, it's amazing. 19:14 You know, you talk about doors opening like I mentioned 19:16 earlier. 19:17 And I believe we're going to see more of this. 19:20 And it's amazing. 19:21 I just praise the Lord that this opportunity is there. 19:24 And pray for more opportunities people. 19:26 Fasten your seatbelt. 19:28 Because, you know, the last events are going to be quick 19:30 and we have to preach a gospel everywhere and every kindred 19:34 tongue and people. 19:35 But what's neat is that we're supposedly not able to get into 19:38 China. 19:41 China. 19:42 They were not Christian. 19:44 But they had found us using some back end way on the 19:50 internet to get access. 19:51 Found our channel. 19:53 Was intrigued because it was in English and they were trying to 19:55 learn English while they were in China. 19:58 Found our programming. 19:59 Were amazed at what they were finding from the Bible. 20:01 They didn't even have access to a Bible at that point. 20:03 But I think they got one. 20:04 But, you know, God has amazing ways when people are searching 20:07 for truth to make it happen, right? 20:09 You know, when I was in China I asked for, it was a Sabbath, 20:13 and I asked for, do you know where there is a Seventh-day 20:16 Adventist Church? 20:17 And they said, oh, yeah, go to McDonald's. 20:20 And I said, no, we don't want to eat any food. 20:25 And they said, no, go to McDonald's. 20:27 So we got a taxi and said, we want to go to McDonald's at 20:31 this location. 20:32 And at the second level of McDonald's there was a Seventh 20:36 -day Adventist group that was meeting there. 20:40 And we congregate with them for the whole day. 20:43 They eat the meals there and they stay studying the lessons 20:48 in the afternoon. 20:49 And then they have the evening sunset worship. 20:54 And it was amazing, you know, how they wanted to study and 20:59 learn about the Bible message. 21:03 And there was about 150 to 200 people. 21:07 What a good group! 21:09 Second floor of McDonald's. 21:11 I love that. 21:13 If I can share a story that reminds me of a viewer who is a 21:19 Bolivian living in Japan watching 3ABN Latino. 21:25 And they're not at Venice, but she says that she gathers her 21:30 four children, husband and wife, and they sit to receive 21:33 Sabbath with us. 21:35 But I'm like, how in the world? 21:36 Why are you doing in Japan a Hispanic family? 21:42 But I'm a little ignorant on that area. 21:45 I don't know which countries are represented inside. 21:49 It's like here, so many countries. 21:51 But anyway, she says, no, we've been here for many years and we 21:54 just stumbled on 3ABN Latino and we really enjoy the family 21:58 worships. 21:59 So praise the Lord. 22:00 I mean, it's in Spanish, but it's in Japan. 22:03 You would expect Japanese -speaking programming. 22:07 So English will reach all the nations, really. 22:10 God asks us to put it out there, right? 22:12 He gives us the one that does the increase and He promises 22:15 that His Word will not return void. 22:17 That's right. 22:18 Praise God. 22:23 I was pulling some statistic report from our website 22:28 streaming. 22:29 Just the streaming. 22:30 Of course, the first country is the United States. 22:34 But just for the views, information, amazing, Ukraine 22:41 is this month of February is the second most-watched 22:46 country. 22:47 And then Guatemala, Netherlands, Jamaica, and then 22:52 France. 22:53 So there are people watching and the numbers are just 22:59 amazing. 23:00 Some days it gets over 100,000 people watching continuously. 23:08 In the 24-hour period. 23:09 In the 24-hour period. 23:11 And that's just the streaming aspect. 23:12 That's not all the other... 23:13 Yeah, especially on Fridays and Saturdays. 23:16 It goes very, very high. 23:19 People are watching from different parts of the world 23:22 and different languages. 23:25 But they are watching all these 10 channels that 3ABN has. 23:31 Amen. 23:31 Those are amazing statistics. 23:32 Praise God for that. 23:33 I want to shout, hallelujah, praise the Lord. 23:38 And sometimes we think, how are we going to get the Gospel over 23:40 there? 23:43 You don't have to travel over there. 23:45 Just partnering with 3ABN in evangelism. 23:48 We get to go to all parts of the world from the comfort of 23:52 our very own home. 23:53 Another information, just because the viewers may wonder, 23:57 everybody thinks that Roku is the device that you use to 24:05 watch 3ABN, but that's not the only one. 24:08 Actually, it's a small portion in the pie. 24:11 If you divide the pie, it's a small portion for Roku. 24:16 I would say probably 80% of that pie is unknown devices. 24:22 Really? 24:23 Isn't that intriguing, though? 24:24 Isn't that intriguing? 24:25 Unknown devices. 24:27 So what type of devices would be unknown devices? 24:29 Well, it could be our 3ABN Plus on the web. 24:33 There is a separate for Chromecast, the iPad, iPhone, a 24:38 Linux. 24:39 There are people watching who are using Linux. 24:41 Wow. 24:44 Macintosh and some other devices. 24:46 But then the other is unknown? 24:47 Unknown, yeah. 24:49 Wow. 24:51 I'm just like, okay, God says, all right, I got a way. 24:54 I got a way. 24:56 Yes, that's right. 24:56 You're going to watch this. 24:58 You shouldn't be able to, but I got a way. 25:00 3ABN is putting it out there. 25:02 I got a way. 25:03 And Moses is going to see it on the graph. 25:04 It's unknown. 25:05 But I got a way. 25:06 So praise God for that. 25:08 Well, that's a fulfillment of his promise that if we preach 25:11 the Gospel, his Word is not going to come back void. 25:15 So it's come back full of fishes that we are just fishing 25:20 with the Lord. 25:26 viewers like in Racine or Michigan area and they were not 25:30 supposed to be able to watch the network. 25:33 Oh, reaching out. 25:34 Yeah. 25:35 And I guess the signal was bouncing off of the lake and 25:39 the people were able to watch. 25:41 Do you remember that? 25:42 Yeah, it was down in the station. 25:43 Oh, okay. 25:45 God has his way, right? 25:46 That's exactly it. 25:47 That's the other way. 25:49 The rocks will proclaim it in the end of times. 25:52 That's right. 25:53 I remember Clarence talking about that. 25:55 They say that's a rare occurrence. 25:58 It was a channel that we had in, I think it was channel 25 26:01 in Michigan. 26:02 I think in the Philead. 26:04 And I, you know, talking to Moses and Clarence and they 26:09 said, well, there's a rare occurrence that this may be 26:14 this way because the channel was across, we looked at the 26:18 map, across the lake. 26:19 And that channel is only supposed to go, what are they, 26:22 15, 25 miles? 26:23 Twenty miles, yeah. 26:27 it's a far distance. 26:28 It should not be getting there. 26:29 Correct. 26:33 how are you watching us? 26:34 We don't have a channel there. 26:35 I don't know. 26:36 It's on my TV. 26:38 Unknown. 26:39 Unknown, exactly. 26:40 Just to go along with that very shortly, I got an email from 26:46 somebody from north of Alaska. 26:49 North? 26:51 So he sent me an audio portion in the email that it was J. 26:59 Christian's voice. 27:00 And I said, my brother, you are not supposed to get this signal 27:04 because we're talking from Vancouver or from the north of 27:10 Canada. 27:11 The earth will be going around. 27:14 So the signal is supposed to, if any signal will travel far, 27:18 it's supposed to go just up, you know, not reach. 27:22 But somehow that signal was turning and this man lives 27:27 right in the middle of the ice, you know, and he is getting the 27:33 radio signal. 27:34 So God is, you know, making miracles in this end of times. 27:41 That's exciting, right? 27:42 I mean, that is exciting. 27:44 And I hope it's exciting for you at home because we're 27:46 telling these stories to encourage you because you're a 27:48 part of this ministry, right? 27:49 We keep talking about your giving and your prayers. 27:51 We're sharing these to again, give God glory but to encourage 27:54 you and thank you for your faithful, consistent support of 27:58 3ABN. 27:59 Let's go back to 3ABN Latino. 28:02 Do you want to talk about, I know we have some video roles 28:04 we're going to play and I know Dr. Mojito too. 28:06 So programs or whether you want to talk about Cuba? 28:08 Where do you want to go to first? 28:09 Well, we have a children's program. 28:11 Good, let's talk about that. 28:17 together and the idea, the Lord gave her the idea. 28:20 So this is a children's program and it's called... 28:23 Talk to us about that. 28:24 Okay. 28:25 It's Chicos y Grandes, Adoran a Dios. 28:28 So little ones and adults, praise the Lord. 28:32 And it's a catchy Chicos and it's not niños and niñas. 28:37 It's just Chicos y Grandes. 28:39 And the kids really loved it. 28:41 We have a couple who is Ben and Abby Castells. 28:46 She is a homeschooling mom and he is a nurse. 28:50 And they love the Lord and they love their children and their 28:55 children reflect the home, you know, the spirituality of the 29:00 home. 29:04 camp meeting and as we watch how they interact with all the 29:08 children and the Lord was just, these are the people, these are 29:11 the people. 29:16 challenge. 29:20 to record the first 29 programs. 29:24 They're 15 minute programs. 29:25 And these programs have sing along, scripture reading, 29:31 object lessons, you know, and it's just going back and forth 29:36 in all the songs. 29:37 Sometimes they're, you know, walking around on the set and 29:41 singing along, you know, the children's stuff. 29:43 So you'd say, well, why another worship or another children's 29:47 program? 29:48 Well, it's a complete program, father and mother. 29:51 You're inviting your children's friends to come home to your 29:55 home and giving them a safe zone to have worship. 29:58 So the adults and the children alike enjoy the program. 30:02 So we had over 32 children participating in the first 30:07 series. 30:08 Yeah, it's a lot of children. 30:10 That's super exciting. 30:11 What a wonderful idea. 30:13 I think we have a roll of that. 30:14 So we have a roll. 30:15 The first part, we're going to talk through it. 30:16 But then there's a part where a song starts and we're going to 30:19 have you listen. 30:20 And we'll talk a little bit about that song in a moment. 30:22 So if they roll that, we can go ahead and begin talking about 30:24 it. 30:26 This is the open and it's kind of fun and telling you the time 30:31 has come for the children's program. 30:34 Yes, that's right. 30:40 to... 30:42 We had kind of like a system going, you rest and then we 30:45 stop and then we get another group of children involved. 30:49 This is the audio here, I think. 30:50 Yes, these are the hosts. 30:52 Tia means auntie or aunt, Aunt Abby and Uncle Ben. 30:57 It's like the right Uncle Ben. 31:00 But anyway, Uncle Ben plays the guitar and they have a theme 31:05 song for the program. 31:09 Part of this is prayer. 31:11 So you see the kids learn the importance of prayer as well, 31:15 kneeling to pray. 31:16 And now in a moment, we're going to go ahead and raise the 31:19 audio so you can hear the theme song that they sing during the 31:25 program. 31:26 The nice thing is that the children also pray, not just 31:30 the adults. 31:36 able to participate. 31:37 That's wonderful. 31:38 So we were really excited about that. 31:40 Let's listen to the song. 31:41 Okay. 31:45 It's time, it's time. 31:54 It's time to praise our God and share His world. 32:00 It's time, it's time. 32:09 It's time to praise our God and share His world. 32:12 It's time to praise our God 32:18 And so part of this also has the scriptures. 32:23 We have scripture of course for the kids and we don't 32:25 overburden them with scripture but the scripture goes along 32:28 also with the object lesson. 32:31 That's right. 32:36 participate but you know it's nice to take turns and show 32:41 that family worship doesn't have to be monotonous. 32:45 And sometimes we, like our first family worship after 32:48 having children, I told Johnny it's not a sermon time, it's 32:52 family worship. 32:54 We've got to make it child friendly so they can enjoy the 32:59 worship. 33:02 disconnect. 33:04 So families could literally just join along and make this 33:06 kind of the worship because they're 15 minutes, not too 33:08 long for a young child to just enjoy music, singing, 33:12 scripture. 33:13 If I could... 33:14 Oh, go ahead. 33:15 I wanted to share a testimony. 33:18 Well, a couple of the families said thank you so much because 33:22 now I can practice these ideas at home with my children. 33:26 And others, some of the moms that had the autistic children 33:29 participate, they said, Idalia, thank you so much for allowing 33:34 my children to participate because usually they can't 33:38 participate because they get overstimulated, you know, and 33:42 it's not something that they want to do, it's just a 33:44 condition that they have to deal with. 33:48 So this particular mother that I'm thinking about, she has two 33:51 and both of them participated. 33:54 And at times there were fun things and at other times it 33:58 was more challenging for her. 34:00 But I said it's okay because we all have our challenges at 34:03 home. 34:07 you and that the style of worship is not for you or 34:11 fitting for your needs in your homes. 34:14 So that was one of the challenges but the Lord blessed 34:16 in spite of. 34:17 That's beautiful, I love that. 34:19 When does this program begin, Aaron? 34:21 Or when does it launch on 3MN Latino? 34:23 March. 34:24 Yay, so next month. 34:26 We share the Christmas special in December, right? 34:30 So because a special one was recorded precisely for that. 34:34 Yes, but it's our dream and desire and prayer that we may 34:40 continue and the next series would be the three in those 34:43 messages, you know, lessons in those programs and the 34:47 Sanctuary, the doctrine of the Sanctuary. 34:50 Amen, I love that. 34:51 What great vision for new programs. 34:53 What about a music program? 34:54 I won't give the name of it. 34:56 I can't melodious something. 34:58 But what about a new music program you have coming up? 35:01 This is another need. 35:03 I call it a need because people ask for music. 35:06 Even in Cuba they say, could you put more music into the 35:09 package? 35:10 And so music of course can draw people to the Lord and 35:15 especially when it has a message with it. 35:19 Of course you have the instrumental music and then you 35:22 have the singing aspect as well. 35:24 So we try to combine this in another program and it's called 35:28 Melodias de Victoria and that is Melodies of Victory. 35:32 So Hidalia can talk about that as well because part of this 35:36 was her initiative as well. 35:38 Well, where do we start? 35:43 The music is ministry. 35:45 I remember receiving a letter and it was handwritten and the 35:52 viewer said, I was so stressed and I was going through such a 35:55 hard time. 35:56 I was changing channels, changing channels, and radio 36:00 stations and whatnot. 36:01 And finally I got to 3APN, I heard the most beautiful music, 36:07 so peaceful that it brought me peace and I was able to sleep. 36:13 So no, we don't want to put people to sleep. 36:15 I don't know if you understand what we're saying. 36:16 But it gave her peace. 36:17 If you have insomnia, it's good to go to sleep. 36:21 Plus if you're going through anxiety and stresses and mental 36:25 challenges, emotional, it's good to relax. 36:28 Yes, and the Lord has blessed with a team of people, music 36:32 ministries, to come and participate with us. 36:36 And this series was recorded with hosting Pastor Carriles, 36:42 Pedro Carriles. 36:43 He's from Cuba and now he's in California, pastor of three 36:48 churches. 36:53 my life. 36:59 in music, but with 3APN Latino that reaches even my own 37:02 people. 37:03 So this is for everyone. 37:06 We have a role. 37:11 role, but we're going to just talk a little bit about some of 37:13 the guests that we had invited. 37:16 So this is Pedro Carriles. 37:18 He is the pastor that Hidalia was talking about. 37:23 And I need Montalvo, she's from Arizona. 37:25 Isis Espana, our very own, she's been in ministry for many 37:28 years and supported 3APN Latino for many years. 37:32 And she's Cuban as well. 37:35 So having her participation here has been a blessing 37:39 throughout these years. 37:41 We also have a variety. 37:43 We've had children, we've had moms. 37:46 This is Eddie Di Boche. 37:47 He came from Colorado. 37:51 He and his wife, it was his first time here. 37:53 Of course, Mairey Clark. 37:56 I almost said Cruz, but it's Clark. 37:59 Yes, and I had the opportunity of interviewing the host so 38:03 that others can know where he comes from and what his 38:07 ministry. 38:11 called him to ministry. 38:12 He was a very famous and popular actor in Cuba and he 38:18 would act in musicals and whatnot. 38:21 So the whole Cuba knows. 38:24 But when they saw him pushing a cart selling snow cones instead 38:28 of being in the highlights and the spotlight, I mean, and the 38:33 outfits and what nots, they said, you've lost your mind. 38:36 What is it with you? 38:38 You know, you had it going. 38:39 You had everything going. 38:40 Why are you pushing a cart selling those snow cones? 38:44 And he said that the Lord has a way of molding us to be able to 38:50 do what he has designed and called us to be. 38:53 And he decided to study to be a pastor and he's pastoring in 38:56 California. 38:57 It's amazing. 38:58 What a great testimony. 38:59 And so I believe we also have the Sabbath School. 39:02 Tell us about the Sabbath School panel also. 39:05 Well, this is where we see how God allows, I'm going to use 39:09 that word, allows technology to increase in an effort also to 39:16 bring the gospel to more people. 39:18 So we're using artificial intelligence to translate the 39:23 3ABN Sabbath School panel from English to Spanish. 39:26 They're doing it also in French and Portuguese, but we're going 39:29 to show you a little row that shows the different Sabbath 39:34 School panelists talking in Spanish. 39:38 Oh my, okay, let's go to that now. 39:46 I'm delighted to be here, John. 39:48 I have the Monday lesson, which is entitled, God is slow for 39:50 anger. 39:51 Amen, it's true. 39:52 Sister Jill Morricone, welcome. 39:54 Thank you very much, Pastor Johnny. 39:56 I have Tuesday, fair indignation. 39:58 Amen. 40:02 Thank you, Johnny. 40:04 It's a pleasure to be here. 40:06 The lesson of Wednesday is, God does not afflict voluntarily. 40:12 Amen. 40:12 And Pastor John Lomacan is with us. 40:14 And I have Thursday, returning to the positive side, showing 40:18 compassion. 40:19 Thank you very much. 40:21 I love that. 40:23 That's amazing. 40:26 people say you're using AI. 40:27 What about the theology? 40:28 So all of these programs, after AI does its work, are being 40:32 reviewed by a native speaker. 40:34 So we want to ensure that the quality is there and the 40:38 integrity is there. 40:39 And nothing's being changed to the theological content, but it 40:43 is in Spanish. 40:44 And in French. 40:46 And in Portuguese. 40:47 So what an incredible blessing. 40:49 That is very important, what you said, because AI is not 40:53 perfect, like people. 40:56 But it does make mistakes. 40:57 Sometimes it picks up a word thinking that you said this, 41:02 like you could have said local, but it thinks you said vocal. 41:06 And so it provides you a script, and it provides you a 41:10 script in English, and it provides you a script in 41:12 Spanish. 41:15 to it, both languages. 41:18 And so it is important to check it, because AI does make 41:21 mistakes, and sometimes they're very shocking mistakes. 41:24 And so we have found some, and it's getting better. 41:28 It's getting better. 41:32 Gospel to every kindred tongue and people. 41:34 Amen. 41:36 Dr. Moore, we're going to come to you here next, but I just 41:37 want to say thank you to Tyler Walker, who several years ago 41:40 said, hey, look about this with languages and with AI and stuff 41:44 like that. 41:48 an engineer, it seems like your whole life, right? 41:50 Yes. 41:54 better. 41:56 we'll ever see AI. 41:57 It's just going to improve and improve and get better and 42:00 better and more accurate, etc. 42:01 So very exciting. 42:03 But talk to us about French, the French network. 42:04 Well, just to tag along what you just said, I remember that 42:09 even back in Brazil, we were doing already translation, and 42:14 it would have taken about five to six hours to do one hour 42:19 program translation. 42:20 How long ago was that, do you think? 42:22 That was so... 42:24 Sorry, maybe I should have... 42:25 A few years ago. 42:26 I already kind of got my trouble in the first hour, got 42:28 in trouble the first hour. 42:29 Very long, you know. 42:30 I've been in television for 47 years. 42:33 So, but yeah, that would take that long. 42:37 But today with the AI, still we have to like Johnny the Scribe, 42:43 we look at the English script and the French script. 42:49 And it takes about an hour and a half, at most two hours to 42:55 review and make sure that it is correct with the meaning of the 43:02 words. 43:03 So it is getting better. 43:05 We are getting more familiar with it. 43:08 So the probability is that we can even get the lower down to 43:13 one hour to one hour. 43:15 That'd be great. 43:15 That's incredible. 43:17 Talk to us more about what's happening in 3Binge Francais. 43:19 Well, we are using the same software, and Hannah Peake is 43:24 doing the editing with the translation. 43:28 And I want to show you talking in French. 43:32 Oh, dear. 43:33 The viewers already watched you talking in Spanish. 43:38 You're going to see that your voice is just your voice, very 43:44 close to your voice, but the language is a different one. 43:47 And I don't have separated, but I just want to show what the 43:52 new programs that we have just recorded. 43:56 After the Sabbath School panel, we have one minute, and then we 44:01 have a program that we made with Pastor Nathaniel Gracia. 44:08 He came, and he wanted to help the parents in the role of man 44:18 in the family. 44:18 Oh, good. 44:23 So he just brings up very different aspects of a man and 44:30 the role of man in the family. 44:32 And then we had a professor from the university in Alabama, 44:41 and Oakwood College University. 44:44 And she came and she did a program in biology, and health 44:51 -oriented was very good program, also with one of their 44:55 students. 45:03 We have a little booklets that we can offer to viewers, and we 45:07 did a translation and the printing of the books. 45:10 It's like a devotional?

51:17 French. 51:18 French. 51:19 Yes, correct. 51:20 So, there is a Spanish church there in Jorge Jaque. 51:23 Is it just one in the city? 51:24 Yes, there is just one in the city. 51:26 One Spanish-speaking church? 51:26 Yes, one. 51:27 We hope that there will be more after this campaign is over. 51:31 So that is our prayer. 51:32 So we want to ask you to pray. 51:34 It is going to be March 22nd to March 30th. 51:39 And so we want to please pray for that so that the Lord will 51:43 use me and that the people will receive the message. 51:46 And of course, choose to follow the Lord with all of their 51:49 hearts. 51:50 Amen. 51:51 Tell us quickly about Cuba. 51:52 Because I mentioned that... 51:53 Cuba. 51:53 You just came back from Cuba. 51:55 Tell us what is going on there. 51:57 It is a wonderful, wonderful thing. 51:59 We are still on the package. 52:03 There are 16 provinces. 52:04 You call them provinces over there. 52:06 Call it like 16 states. 52:08 And the matrix, I am calling it the matrix now because there 52:13 were two and then there was just one. 52:15 But now there is another one. 52:17 I will talk to you about that in a moment if the time 52:18 permits. 52:19 But we are there every single week. 52:22 A portion of our programming is there. 52:25 And so this particular trip, I had to go to the different 52:29 conferences, talk to the presidents and the leadership 52:32 and say, hey, 3AVN is bringing 20,000 Bibles and we hope that 52:37 you will be able to use these. 52:39 Oh, they were so happy. 52:41 The conference presidents and the leadership. 52:44 And one of them said, wow, that is fantastic. 52:48 We are about to baptize 200 people and we don't have any 52:52 Bibles to give them. 52:54 Another one said, 80 plus people recently were baptized. 52:59 We didn't have any Bibles to give them. 53:01 I was at a church. 53:02 I had the opportunity to go to a church and preach. 53:05 And the lady that was doing something before me, she said, 53:10 okay, let's go to this Bible text. 53:11 How many of you brought your Bibles? 53:13 And many hands went up. 53:15 And then it occurred to me, when you go up there, ask them 53:18 how many people don't have Bibles. 53:20 So I did. 53:21 And it was about a quarter of the people did not have any 53:25 Bibles in the church. 53:27 And I said, I have good news for you. 53:30 The Lord has blessed 3AVN is going to bring 20,000 Bibles 53:33 and I hope you'll be able to get one of these. 53:36 And so these Bibles are needed. 53:38 And the time is right. 53:40 The Lord has blessed us to be able to bring this. 53:42 The people of Cuba are going through such difficult times. 53:45 They are looking for spiritual things. 53:48 And so thank you every single one of you that has helped. 53:52 I just got a report about 24 hours ago from our accounting 53:58 team. 54:02 purchase the Bible, print the Bibles, but also to bring them 54:05 to Cuba. 54:06 And to be able to bring them there to the conferences and 54:10 all the churches. 54:14 we're going to give some to the church to give. 54:16 But the greater portion 3AVN will have so that when we 54:20 announce on the package we have free Bibles. 54:22 If you don't have one, contact us. 54:24 And so it is such a wonderful thing. 54:27 And it's just amazing that the Lord has provided this 54:30 opportunity. 54:32 Yeah, no, amen. 54:35 again searching for truth. 54:36 You think about the timing. 54:37 You mentioned about the timing. 54:38 It's just a great time to be able to bring these Bibles into 54:42 Cuba. 54:43 Can I squeeze it in about 30 seconds? 54:44 I'll try, I'll try. 54:45 Let me try. 54:48 When I said the matrix is that they feed distributors with 54:52 programming. 54:54 And these distributors also give it to the people that sell 54:57 the package in the neighborhoods. 54:59 And this is how 3AVN is distributed there. 55:01 Yes, and so thank you for supporting that. 55:03 Every month we have to pay a fee for being on that package. 55:07 But there's a competitor, if you're going to call it, the 55:11 other matrix. 55:13 And the one we're on is on all the provinces. 55:16 This other one was going down, down, down. 55:19 And this guy that was a worker in that other one decided, we 55:23 can't let this die. 55:24 And so he talked to the other owner that left to Spain and he 55:28 says, I want to bring this back up. 55:30 So he got going and he bought equipment. 55:33 And now this one is coming up. 55:35 And they're on seven provinces. 55:38 And when I was talking to him, he said, oh, I know about 3AVN. 55:42 I said, how do you know? 55:44 Somebody that buys it on the other one was bringing it to 55:47 him and said, could you do me a favor and put this on? 55:51 But he was coming every week. 55:53 And sometimes he doesn't come. 55:55 So we want to make sure that it's there every single week. 55:58 So we're going to be on both of them now. 56:00 The original one and then the competitor who's doing better 56:05 now. 56:05 We're going to be on both. 56:07 Praise the Lord. 56:07 What a great report. 56:08 That's the gospel going that much further. 56:10 You know, praise the Lord. 56:11 Thank you, Pastor Johnny, Mrs. Denzi. 56:13 Thank you, Brother Moses, for being here. 56:16 Being part of the 3AVN family. 56:18 Just the privilege of working together, you know, and helping 56:21 to spread that gospel message. 56:23 So thank you all very much. 56:25 And thank you at home as well. 56:27 You are part of the 3AVN family. 56:30 Know that we love you. 56:32 Know that we pray for you. 56:33 And that you can reach out to us at any time if you have 56:37 program ideas, if you want to partner in some way 56:40 evangelistically, if you have prayer needs. 56:43 We have a Pastor World department and we want to be 56:45 here for you and to pray over those needs. 56:48 But don't be discouraged. 56:50 Jesus is coming soon. 56:52 We have the privilege and opportunity to proclaim this 56:55 gospel as never before. 56:57 We will see you next time. 56:58 God bless you. |
