I want to spend my life,
00:00:02.83\00:00:08.57
I want to spend my life,
00:00:14.11\00:00:17.25
I want to spend my life,
00:00:35.26\00:00:38.70
I want to spend my life.
00:00:45.94\00:00:48.74
Welcome to 3ABN Thursday Night
Live, 3ABN behind the scenes.
00:01:05.63\00:01:10.23
Wow, Jill, that's
a mouthful, isn't it?
00:01:10.43\00:01:12.20
We are so glad.
00:01:12.23\00:01:13.10
But you did it well.
00:01:13.10\00:01:13.94
Did I get it all in?
00:01:14.04\00:01:14.77
You got it.
00:01:14.77\00:01:15.27
Okay, that's great.
00:01:15.30\00:01:16.17
Thank you for being a
part of the 3ABN family.
00:01:16.44\00:01:19.67
You know, I'm just
encouraged this evening.
00:01:19.77\00:01:21.74
One of the reasons is because
Jesus is alive and well and
00:01:22.21\00:01:26.95
despite all the chaos and
everything happening in the
00:01:26.95\00:01:29.32
world, there is so much to be
thankful for, 3ABN of course is
00:01:29.32\00:01:33.29
broadcasting around the world,
sharing the everlasting gospel
00:01:33.29\00:01:37.23
with a lost and dying world.
00:01:37.23\00:01:39.53
You know, Jill, we have
so much to be thankful for.
00:01:39.63\00:01:41.76
Our family that are right
there, we can look at them,
00:01:41.76\00:01:44.77
it's almost like we can see
you from right here in the 3ABN
00:01:44.93\00:01:47.54
living room set and it's
because of their prayers and
00:01:47.54\00:01:50.27
continued financial support,
your prayers and continued
00:01:50.27\00:01:53.48
financial support that we're
able to reach the world at this
00:01:53.48\00:01:56.88
moment in earth's history.
00:01:56.88\00:01:58.15
It's no accident that
this ministry is here right now
00:01:58.28\00:02:01.45
today and also you.
00:02:01.45\00:02:03.05
You are here for a
reason and a purpose.
00:02:03.05\00:02:05.29
Never forget that.
00:02:05.39\00:02:06.15
But tonight's program,
I'm excited, it's a one hour
00:02:06.49\00:02:08.62
program, really praising
God for what he's doing.
00:02:08.62\00:02:10.69
A lot of things
happening here at 3ABN.
00:02:10.69\00:02:12.43
Absolutely.
00:02:12.73\00:02:16.77
proclaims this
everlasting gospel.
00:02:16.77\00:02:18.63
You know, what an opportunity
we have in these closing
00:02:18.63\00:02:23.37
moments of earth's history to
be able to present the truth in
00:02:23.37\00:02:27.21
the Word of God, to be
able to uplift Christ, our
00:02:27.21\00:02:31.21
righteousness and to be
consistent with the message
00:02:31.21\00:02:34.52
that we've presented from the
television station that would
00:02:34.52\00:02:42.42
reach the world with
the undiluted Three Angels
00:02:42.42\00:02:44.53
messages, one that would
counteract the counterfeit and
00:02:44.53\00:02:48.26
3ABN continues to
proclaim that biblical message.
00:02:48.26\00:02:51.60
We can go and
grow and share that.
00:02:51.83\00:02:54.27
And tonight we have our family
here, Mr. Danny and Dr. Yvonne,
00:02:54.50\00:02:57.91
Mom and Dad.
00:02:57.94\00:02:58.74
Glad to be here.
00:02:58.87\00:03:00.04
Yeah, great to be here.
00:03:00.71\00:03:01.84
We love it.
00:03:01.88\00:03:05.51
and it's just a privilege to
work with brothers and sisters.
00:03:05.51\00:03:08.98
It is.
00:03:08.98\00:03:13.39
endeavor to take, as she was
saying, this everlasting gospel
00:03:13.39\00:03:16.86
into all the world.
00:03:16.86\00:03:18.13
Amen.
00:03:18.53\00:03:18.79
I'm happy to be here.
00:03:19.33\00:03:20.50
You look pretty, by the way.
00:03:22.30\00:03:23.67
I was just thinking that.
00:03:23.67\00:03:24.63
Thank you.
00:03:24.63\00:03:25.03
That's so sweet.
00:03:25.33\00:03:25.97
You look handsome.
00:03:26.13\00:03:27.67
She looks that good.
00:03:27.80\00:03:28.77
Oh, thank you.
00:03:29.17\00:03:30.24
He knows what to say.
00:03:30.24\00:03:30.27
How am I doing?
00:03:31.67\00:03:32.17
You're doing great.
00:03:32.17\00:03:33.21
I love it.
00:03:33.81\00:03:35.21
Come in around the
table, Pastor John Denzi.
00:03:35.94\00:03:38.35
I know your beautiful
wife, Adalia, can't be here this
00:03:38.35\00:03:40.95
evening, but so grateful
to have you here as well.
00:03:40.95\00:03:43.62
Thank you.
00:03:43.95\00:03:44.55
It's a blessing to be here.
00:03:44.62\00:03:45.62
And yes, God is doing
great, wonderful things.
00:03:45.65\00:03:47.99
The gospel is
going around the world.
00:03:48.29\00:03:49.96
Amen.
00:03:50.39\00:03:51.09
Pastor John, he just
got back from Guatemala.
00:03:51.43\00:03:52.93
We want to hear an
update on the evangelism there.
00:03:53.03\00:03:54.76
We just came back from Canada.
00:03:55.06\00:03:56.60
We want to talk about
what took place there.
00:03:56.77\00:03:58.70
In the middle here,
Pastor John Lomacane.
00:03:58.83\00:04:01.20
And I know Angie can't be
here either this evening, but so
00:04:01.30\00:04:04.41
glad you're here tonight.
00:04:04.41\00:04:05.47
Yes.
00:04:05.71\00:04:08.01
try to cover those
in the time we have.
00:04:08.01\00:04:09.88
Praise God for that.
00:04:10.15\00:04:12.98
Wisconsin, so a
lot of traveling.
00:04:12.98\00:04:14.35
Amen.
00:04:15.58\00:04:15.95
God is good.
00:04:15.95\00:04:18.69
And your wife is right around
the corner here in the studio,
00:04:18.82\00:04:21.89
but not on the set here, but of
course, you're a 3PM producer,
00:04:22.12\00:04:25.23
and so grateful to have
you here tonight as well.
00:04:25.56\00:04:27.83
Oh, thank you so much.
00:04:27.96\00:04:29.00
It's a blessing to be a part of
this ministry and just what it
00:04:29.16\00:04:31.57
does for people and the
hope that it brings to those who
00:04:31.57\00:04:34.04
need it.
00:04:34.04\00:04:34.44
Amen.
00:04:35.27\00:04:35.67
Pastor James.
00:04:35.67\00:04:36.34
Yay.
00:04:36.74\00:04:41.08
we're going to be talking
about our upcoming School of
00:04:41.08\00:04:44.25
Discipleship.
00:04:44.25\00:04:44.88
Hi, Pastor James.
00:04:44.91\00:04:45.85
Hi there, everyone.
00:04:46.72\00:04:47.55
Good to be here
with you this evening.
00:04:47.62\00:04:49.22
Looking forward
to God's blessings.
00:04:49.62\00:04:50.85
Amen.
00:04:51.25\00:04:53.96
It's been a busy year already.
00:04:54.26\00:04:55.19
It has indeed.
00:04:55.29\00:04:55.92
He was just here.
00:04:55.96\00:04:56.73
We did the Sabbath
School panel last week.
00:04:56.86\00:04:58.23
So, absolutely.
00:04:58.63\00:04:59.39
Talking about that, before
we get into some of the other
00:04:59.83\00:05:01.60
topics tonight, tell us
about the Sabbath School panel.
00:05:01.60\00:05:03.30
What's the topic?
00:05:03.77\00:05:04.63
It's Exodus.
00:05:04.63\00:05:05.73
So, this is third quarter
and we did, it was a marathon
00:05:05.83\00:05:08.74
recording.
00:05:08.74\00:05:09.60
Usually we do the 13
programs in four days.
00:05:09.74\00:05:12.21
We did it in three,
so it was kind of busy.
00:05:12.24\00:05:15.04
Pastor John and
Johnny and Pastor James.
00:05:15.11\00:05:17.38
It was whiplash.
00:05:17.41\00:05:18.28
I think, Pastor, you said
that one of the days you were on
00:05:20.08\00:05:22.68
for, was it five consecutive?
00:05:22.68\00:05:24.09
Five, yeah, five in one day.
00:05:24.15\00:05:25.22
That's intense.
00:05:25.62\00:05:26.32
It was
endurance, but we endured.
00:05:26.35\00:05:27.89
It was like the
children as you were coming out.
00:05:27.96\00:05:29.36
It was in Exodus for us.
00:05:29.36\00:05:29.39
Well, what a great topic
because we don't study Exodus.
00:05:31.99\00:05:34.20
There's some great
lessons to be learned.
00:05:34.60\00:05:36.30
Yeah, a lot of it was covered,
but there's so much in that
00:05:36.36\00:05:39.97
book.
00:05:39.97\00:05:43.54
there.
00:05:43.54\00:05:46.14
takes us to.
00:05:46.14\00:05:46.81
Yeah, no, absolutely.
00:05:47.51\00:05:48.28
No, praise God for that.
00:05:48.48\00:05:49.34
You know, I want to talk
just briefly, Mr. Danny, talking
00:05:49.71\00:05:51.61
about that message.
00:05:51.61\00:05:54.02
of minutes ago before we talk
about the three of you being
00:05:54.02\00:05:56.15
camp meeting.
00:05:56.15\00:05:56.92
But that is just thinking
about that message, Mr. Danny.
00:05:57.29\00:05:58.99
You know, I know you've
told Jill and myself through the
00:05:58.99\00:06:01.06
years that the reason
God continues to bless this
00:06:01.06\00:06:03.76
ministry is because three
of you is not deviated from the
00:06:03.76\00:06:06.13
message that
God has given to us.
00:06:06.13\00:06:07.86
And that message, of
course, is from the Word of God.
00:06:08.06\00:06:10.33
So, you know, three of you
being going forward, that's
00:06:10.63\00:06:12.27
critical, right, that we stay
and stick to the Bible and what
00:06:12.27\00:06:15.17
God is telling us.
00:06:15.17\00:06:16.14
Otherwise, how can he bless?
00:06:16.14\00:06:16.17
So it's important.
00:06:17.71\00:06:21.38
important, not the messenger.
00:06:21.38\00:06:22.61
And messengers come and go.
00:06:23.18\00:06:24.75
And we've seen it here.
00:06:24.98\00:06:26.38
You've seen it at your churches.
00:06:26.75\00:06:28.22
You've seen it,
you know, around.
00:06:28.22\00:06:30.25
Messengers come and go.
00:06:30.72\00:06:31.82
But the message of God is
here and it's everlasting.
00:06:31.85\00:06:35.42
That's why we love giving
the everlasting gospel, as you
00:06:35.62\00:06:38.99
said, Jill, because it's
everlasting that think about
00:06:38.99\00:06:42.33
that God loves us.
00:06:42.33\00:06:43.93
You can say God loves me.
00:06:44.43\00:06:45.87
It's OK.
00:06:45.93\00:06:46.40
It's not selfish.
00:06:46.43\00:06:47.14
God loves me.
00:06:47.47\00:06:50.91
no one loves you, you
can say Jesus loves me.
00:06:50.91\00:06:54.28
God loves me.
00:06:54.31\00:06:55.38
Jesus loves me.
00:06:55.58\00:06:56.51
This I know for
the Bible tells me so.
00:06:56.51\00:06:59.15
And so that
message is everlasting.
00:06:59.65\00:07:02.22
And we get that.
00:07:02.78\00:07:03.95
We have the privilege and
responsibility of giving that
00:07:03.95\00:07:07.39
message to the entire
world before Jesus comes back,
00:07:07.39\00:07:11.36
because Satan is like a roaring
lion seeking those whom he may
00:07:11.43\00:07:15.03
devour.
00:07:15.03\00:07:15.60
Right.
00:07:15.70\00:07:19.87
elect.
00:07:19.87\00:07:24.44
say, oh, well, we're part of
the elect because we know this
00:07:24.44\00:07:27.51
and we know that.
00:07:27.51\00:07:28.51
And all the time we're so proud
of being the elect, the devil's
00:07:28.78\00:07:31.55
coming in the back door working
on us and we don't even know
00:07:31.55\00:07:34.55
it.
00:07:34.55\00:07:39.69
and ask God to help us continue.
00:07:39.69\00:07:42.26
So thank you for those of you
who continue to support 3Abram
00:07:42.36\00:07:46.39
prayerfully and financially
as we continue to take this
00:07:46.39\00:07:50.77
undiluted three angels
messages into all the world.
00:07:50.77\00:07:53.84
Amen.
00:07:53.84\00:07:54.30
Well said.
00:07:54.64\00:07:55.44
And talking about messages,
I'm thinking about camp meeting,
00:07:55.84\00:07:58.21
right?
00:07:58.44\00:08:01.01
preparing to
proclaim the final cry.
00:08:01.01\00:08:03.28
That's the theme for this
year's summer camp meeting,
00:08:03.35\00:08:05.95
which Pastor John, I know
you're going to talk about
00:08:06.48\00:08:08.12
that, but the dates for
that are June 4 through 7.
00:08:08.12\00:08:11.05
Yes, June 4 through 7,
2025, an illustrious outlay.
00:08:11.25\00:08:15.62
Look at the lineup.
00:08:15.72\00:08:16.32
I know.
00:08:16.96\00:08:18.33
No, I'm not.
00:08:18.79\00:08:19.66
I'm just there.
00:08:19.79\00:08:20.36
I know I'm there.
00:08:20.36\00:08:21.96
Thank you for asking, but, you
know, that's not really one of
00:08:22.33\00:08:24.63
my gifts.
00:08:24.63\00:08:26.00
No, that's not.
00:08:26.37\00:08:27.14
You know what?
00:08:27.14\00:08:27.17
That's not really one of mine.
00:08:29.40\00:08:30.51
I'd probably stumble and mumble
along, but I do enjoy meeting
00:08:30.64\00:08:34.04
each one of you, getting up and
sharing about what God is doing
00:08:34.04\00:08:36.91
through the ministry of 3Abram.
00:08:36.91\00:08:38.15
I love camp meeting because
of the fellowship aspect, and we
00:08:38.15\00:08:41.28
know many of you
cannot come here in person.
00:08:41.28\00:08:43.89
That's OK.
00:08:43.92\00:08:47.69
satellite,
however you get 3Abram.
00:08:47.69\00:08:49.56
But if you can come in person,
please come, because there is
00:08:49.56\00:08:53.60
going to be an enormous
blessing from the Holy Spirit.
00:08:53.60\00:08:57.37
Talk to us a
little bit about it.
00:08:57.60\00:08:59.87
cry.
00:08:59.87\00:09:02.67
going forward, through
the context of the everlasting
00:09:02.67\00:09:05.04
gospel, those three angels'
messages, which is what 3Abram
00:09:05.04\00:09:07.94
exists for,
counteracting the counterfeit.
00:09:07.94\00:09:09.78
We have guests like
Pavel LaGoya, Chris Hudson.
00:09:09.88\00:09:12.65
You know, the truth is
the truth, believe it or not.
00:09:13.05\00:09:14.95
He should coin that
and sell some shirts.
00:09:15.65\00:09:17.85
But Dr. James
Markham, always interesting.
00:09:17.85\00:09:20.82
Carlos Muņoz, I call him
the energizer bunny from Amazing
00:09:20.92\00:09:25.46
Facts.
00:09:25.46\00:09:28.83
he's a godly man.
00:09:28.83\00:09:29.63
I love that.
00:09:29.66\00:09:30.43
And David Shin, humble
but always ready and solid.
00:09:30.77\00:09:34.97
He's never mushy.
00:09:35.97\00:09:37.44
He's always solid in the Word,
and a number of others, those
00:09:37.51\00:09:40.44
who are here.
00:09:40.44\00:09:41.14
So come to that.
00:09:41.34\00:09:42.44
If you cannot come, preparing
to proclaim the final cry.
00:09:42.54\00:09:46.98
If you don't believe we're
living in the closing hours of
00:09:46.98\00:09:49.28
our history then, I'll tell
you, you need a check up from
00:09:49.28\00:09:52.49
the neck up.
00:09:52.49\00:09:53.12
Just had to say that.
00:09:55.42\00:09:56.79
Wake up, the hour is
urgent, Christopher Hudson.
00:09:57.43\00:10:00.43
Danny's going to
also be speaking, right?
00:10:01.33\00:10:03.30
And the power of the
everlasting gospel, only one
00:10:03.73\00:10:07.97
gospel, Carlos Muņoz.
00:10:07.97\00:10:09.44
Love the titles.
00:10:09.44\00:10:09.47
outline.
00:10:16.95\00:10:17.45
You'll be able to see what
we cannot cover in the time we
00:10:18.18\00:10:20.35
have.
00:10:20.35\00:10:20.58
June 4-7.
00:10:20.72\00:10:21.55
It's going to be June 4-7.
00:10:22.12\00:10:23.65
And I look forward to it.
00:10:24.25\00:10:25.09
It's always exciting.
00:10:25.15\00:10:25.95
We have just a couple
RV spots left, I believe.
00:10:27.39\00:10:30.29
Not many.
00:10:30.33\00:10:31.09
Just the last I
heard, just a couple.
00:10:31.49\00:10:33.03
So if you would like to bring
your RV or some people rent RVs
00:10:33.23\00:10:37.07
in the local area,
which you can do as well.
00:10:37.07\00:10:39.17
And the rental company brings
the RV in and all you have to
00:10:39.17\00:10:42.94
do is show up and
walk in and it's ready.
00:10:42.94\00:10:45.01
That's nice.
00:10:45.87\00:10:50.05
hotel.
00:10:50.05\00:10:54.02
on there.
00:10:54.02\00:10:58.29
you with that.
00:10:58.29\00:10:59.12
You need to call and register
if you're bringing an RV.
00:10:59.49\00:11:02.52
That's very important.
00:11:02.66\00:11:03.83
So just encourage you to
give us a call at 3ABN, 618-627
00:11:03.83\00:11:08.83
-4651.
00:11:08.83\00:11:10.43
We would love to
spend this time together.
00:11:10.87\00:11:13.64
We have children's meetings,
we have free food, and we have
00:11:13.97\00:11:16.97
wonderful music as well.
00:11:16.97\00:11:18.27
You know, Mr. Danny, I
love Camp Meeting because it's a
00:11:19.64\00:11:21.91
family atmosphere.
00:11:21.91\00:11:23.01
And I know people come
from all over the world.
00:11:23.71\00:11:25.51
We just received a message
from someone that we met in
00:11:25.98\00:11:28.32
Australia or New
Zealand last year.
00:11:28.32\00:11:30.35
Tasmania.
00:11:30.99\00:11:31.55
Yeah, they live in Tasmania.
00:11:31.65\00:11:32.99
So they're traveling over and
they're actually coming a few
00:11:33.46\00:11:36.09
weeks early or a few
days early to volunteer here.
00:11:36.09\00:11:38.96
So yes, we do appreciate
volunteers here at 3ABN.
00:11:39.26\00:11:42.70
We have a lot of Bible studies,
Dr. Yvonne, for the prisons
00:11:42.80\00:11:45.10
that have to be put
together and collated here.
00:11:45.10\00:11:47.44
So if you want to come a little
bit early, Jill, they should
00:11:47.77\00:11:50.44
call also for that, right?
00:11:50.44\00:11:51.77
So we know they're coming early.
00:11:51.77\00:11:53.27
It would be the same number?
00:11:53.54\00:11:54.31
Same number.
00:11:54.34\00:11:54.88
618-627-4651.
00:11:56.54\00:11:58.21
You can see that number
on the bottom of your screen.
00:11:58.28\00:12:00.22
But we just look forward to,
of course, spending that time
00:12:00.22\00:12:03.35
together.
00:12:03.35\00:12:06.42
together, see each
other face to face.
00:12:06.42\00:12:08.72
We can pray together, open the
Word together, something really
00:12:08.92\00:12:12.99
special about that.
00:12:12.99\00:12:16.30
You all have told us so
and we used to have one a year.
00:12:16.67\00:12:19.43
And then it's like, man, these
are just so, we're so blessed,
00:12:19.60\00:12:22.80
spiritually blessed.
00:12:23.00\00:12:23.87
Can we have it more often?
00:12:24.34\00:12:25.71
So we've been having two
camp meetings, which is a lot of
00:12:25.77\00:12:29.38
time, a lot of effort, a
lot of work, a lot of expense.
00:12:29.38\00:12:32.18
But we feel like it's worth it
because that's our, again, our
00:12:32.45\00:12:36.45
privilege to get
the Gospel to the world.
00:12:36.45\00:12:38.09
But it's also to
meet people individually.
00:12:38.12\00:12:40.76
And so that's why we love,
we're going to churches, you're
00:12:40.92\00:12:43.39
saying all of us in different
places and we're able to meet
00:12:43.39\00:12:46.33
people.
00:12:46.33\00:12:49.86
when we go home, we look
through the glass, we don't
00:12:49.90\00:12:52.30
just see camera, we see
you from where we just were and
00:12:52.30\00:12:56.10
talk to you, so
many of the folks there.
00:12:56.10\00:12:58.81
So it's a water blessing.
00:12:58.81\00:13:00.78
Amen.
00:13:01.01\00:13:01.74
It's such an anointing that
we sense with camp meetings and
00:13:02.24\00:13:06.61
just being here in person.
00:13:06.61\00:13:08.18
And it's great for us too.
00:13:08.38\00:13:09.88
I mean, we're in ministry, but
we need our spirits watered as
00:13:10.02\00:13:12.92
well.
00:13:12.92\00:13:16.93
Lord gives our speakers and the
music and it's just a blessing.
00:13:16.93\00:13:20.56
So if you can come,
please do, please come.
00:13:20.63\00:13:23.93
And if you can't, please watch.
00:13:24.10\00:13:25.93
That's right.
00:13:26.03\00:13:30.34
you know, talking about
proclaiming the final cry,
00:13:30.47\00:13:32.61
preparing for
proclaiming the final cry.
00:13:33.31\00:13:35.11
I think it's something that
everyone should, if they cannot
00:13:35.58\00:13:38.51
come, make sure you watch.
00:13:38.51\00:13:40.05
Yes.
00:13:40.28\00:13:40.62
Or listen.
00:13:40.95\00:13:41.42
Yes, or listen.
00:13:42.15\00:13:42.82
That's good.
00:13:43.05\00:13:43.39
Absolutely.
00:13:43.89\00:13:44.45
Let's talk about our
School of Discipleship.
00:13:44.89\00:13:46.32
Okay, good.
00:13:46.32\00:13:49.36
Pastor James, of
course, is Serbian Director of
00:13:49.59\00:13:51.63
Discipleship, but he also
coordinates for our School of
00:13:51.63\00:13:55.83
Discipleship.
00:13:55.83\00:13:56.63
And Ian, of course,
is his assistant there.
00:13:56.80\00:13:58.40
But we have an
upcoming school in October.
00:13:58.80\00:14:02.57
Now, this is like a camp
meeting on steroids, I guess.
00:14:02.67\00:14:06.04
A week long
intensive studying the Bible.
00:14:06.31\00:14:09.21
So Ian, why don't you talk
to us about that and then we'll
00:14:09.91\00:14:12.08
get Pastor James
to share as well.
00:14:12.08\00:14:13.35
Yeah, I am just so excited
because it's been a little
00:14:13.48\00:14:16.38
while since we've had
the School of Discipleship.
00:14:16.38\00:14:18.45
So now we have one coming.
00:14:18.55\00:14:19.92
It's going to be October
24th through November 2nd.
00:14:19.92\00:14:23.09
So make sure you put
that on your calendars.
00:14:23.09\00:14:24.79
October 24th
through November 2nd.
00:14:24.89\00:14:27.56
And the School of Discipleship
is just an absolute blessing
00:14:27.56\00:14:30.73
just to be a part of it.
00:14:31.27\00:14:32.50
But to see the transformation
in just those 10 days and what
00:14:32.50\00:14:35.84
happens in many of the
students that come here.
00:14:35.84\00:14:38.24
You know, often I have
seen some individuals come and
00:14:38.97\00:14:41.28
they're just looking
for, you know, what's next?
00:14:41.28\00:14:43.51
What am I supposed to do?
00:14:43.55\00:14:44.58
Where do I fit in ministry?
00:14:44.61\00:14:45.95
And God reveals it to them.
00:14:46.75\00:14:48.18
And I've seen, you know,
individuals leave here and
00:14:48.18\00:14:50.42
become lay pastors and speakers.
00:14:50.42\00:14:51.89
Some have done evangelistic
series after coming here and
00:14:51.95\00:14:54.82
it's just really ignited them.
00:14:54.82\00:14:56.29
And others have come here just
looking for, you know, what,
00:14:56.56\00:14:59.03
3BN?
00:14:59.09\00:15:02.26
come here looking for that.
00:15:02.26\00:15:03.57
They're wanting to experience,
you know, God in a different
00:15:03.90\00:15:07.30
way.
00:15:07.30\00:15:09.87
world and, you know, the
busyness of life and they're
00:15:09.87\00:15:12.24
just like, I need to put things
aside and I need to put God
00:15:12.24\00:15:15.04
first.
00:15:15.04\00:15:18.35
Praise God.
00:15:18.38\00:15:18.98
And just to see
His working in it.
00:15:19.41\00:15:21.25
So, if you're watching right
now, I really encourage you to
00:15:22.08\00:15:25.09
go to 3ABNSOD.com.
00:15:25.09\00:15:27.32
We have a handbook on
there that outlines all of the
00:15:27.99\00:15:30.39
information that
you probably need.
00:15:30.39\00:15:32.23
But if you do have additional
questions, you're more than
00:15:32.56\00:15:34.63
welcome to reach out to us and
call us here at 3ABN at 618-627
00:15:34.63\00:15:39.13
-4651.
00:15:39.13\00:15:40.20
We can answer whatever
questions that you have.
00:15:40.57\00:15:42.84
And we're actually doing
something a little different.
00:15:43.17\00:15:45.07
We're going to do a new class
this year that we haven't done
00:15:45.07\00:15:48.68
in previous classes and I think
it's really pertinent to the
00:15:48.68\00:15:51.55
times that we're living in
and that is how to study Bible
00:15:51.55\00:15:54.72
prophecy.
00:15:54.72\00:15:55.32
So, we have other classes
like how to study the Bible.
00:15:55.88\00:15:58.59
Pastor John is going to be a
part of it and he has a class
00:15:58.95\00:16:01.12
that's called From Information
to Transformation because we
00:16:01.12\00:16:04.76
have all the information.
00:16:04.76\00:16:05.86
We have the truths in this
church but where's the heart
00:16:05.93\00:16:09.96
part of it?
00:16:09.96\00:16:10.60
The transformative part of it.
00:16:10.67\00:16:12.60
And we need to understand that
as well that that word needs to
00:16:12.60\00:16:15.80
transform us and then we
need to impart that on others as
00:16:15.80\00:16:18.91
well to make sure they are
being transformed by the word
00:16:18.91\00:16:21.81
and it's not just
information overload.
00:16:21.81\00:16:23.88
Some of the other classes
that we're going to have is
00:16:24.88\00:16:27.28
doctrines and apologetics.
00:16:27.28\00:16:28.82
We're also going to have
a health class with Reese
00:16:29.25\00:16:31.72
Rafferty and who else
is going to be speaking?
00:16:31.72\00:16:34.16
Oh, and we also have a newcomer
Pastor Ryan Johnson who's going
00:16:34.16\00:16:34.19
to be teaching
evangelism as well.
00:16:38.29\00:16:40.23
So within these 10 days there
is a lot that goes into it.
00:16:40.23\00:16:43.60
We give you a
lot of information.
00:16:43.60\00:16:43.63
Things to take home with you.
00:16:45.43\00:16:46.63
Little goodies that you can
take home where you can study
00:16:46.67\00:16:49.37
on your own.
00:16:49.37\00:16:50.11
But it's just really powerful.
00:16:50.64\00:16:52.11
Really, really powerful and
I really encourage you again go
00:16:52.31\00:16:54.48
to 3ABNSOD.com.
00:16:54.48\00:16:56.61
All the information is there.
00:16:56.88\00:16:58.08
The financing information
is there and if you have any
00:16:58.15\00:17:00.78
questions just feel free to
reach out and I would be happy
00:17:00.78\00:17:03.52
to answer them for you.
00:17:03.52\00:17:04.49
Amen.
00:17:04.49\00:17:04.92
Thank you so much, Ian.
00:17:05.22\00:17:06.22
Pastor James, what's on
your heart about 3ABN School of
00:17:06.39\00:17:09.59
Discipleship?
00:17:09.59\00:17:10.23
Everything Ian said
and a little bit more.
00:17:11.06\00:17:12.86
So the school is so powerful
because it will actually change
00:17:14.63\00:17:18.63
your life.
00:17:18.63\00:17:22.57
Study School that launched
me into ministry learning how to
00:17:22.57\00:17:25.81
study the Bible, how to
study prophecy, how to use the
00:17:25.81\00:17:28.34
concordance, how to look
up the Greek and the Hebrew.
00:17:28.34\00:17:30.61
It absolutely changed
my Christian walk with God.
00:17:30.61\00:17:33.88
Secondly, I met my wife
at one of these schools.
00:17:34.55\00:17:38.09
I was actually a teacher of how
to study the Bible and Risi was
00:17:38.19\00:17:41.02
my pupil.
00:17:41.02\00:17:46.39
powerful way.
00:17:46.39\00:17:51.40
that we're teaching in
the SOD program, the School of
00:17:51.40\00:17:54.30
Discipleship program.
00:17:54.30\00:17:55.14
So I really want
to encourage people.
00:17:55.20\00:17:56.24
It fits a niche and that is
it's a one-week intensive, not
00:17:56.54\00:18:01.24
two weeks, not two months,
not six months, one week.
00:18:01.24\00:18:04.78
And a lot of people really
can't take a lot of time off
00:18:05.08\00:18:08.52
work or get away for a long
time, but one week works for so
00:18:08.52\00:18:12.32
many people.
00:18:12.32\00:18:16.62
to have that foundation or
even who are perhaps needing a
00:18:16.62\00:18:21.13
little bit of a brush up
on their understanding of the
00:18:21.13\00:18:25.73
Bible and how to study the
Bible, and then others who are
00:18:25.73\00:18:28.67
brand new, brand new Christians
walking with the Lord.
00:18:28.67\00:18:31.57
You really want to get a
good foundation under you.
00:18:31.87\00:18:33.81
This would be a great
opportunity this fall.
00:18:34.01\00:18:36.71
Sign up for the SOD 3ABN School
of Discipleship and you will be
00:18:37.01\00:18:40.85
blessed.
00:18:40.85\00:18:41.18
Amen.
00:18:42.18\00:18:42.75
One thing I do want to
add, praise God for a godly wife
00:18:43.39\00:18:48.09
because she's over here texting
me because I forgot to say
00:18:48.09\00:18:50.03
something.
00:18:50.03\00:18:50.39
Hi, Angelo.
00:18:52.96\00:18:53.86
Thank you, dear.
00:18:54.23\00:18:54.93
One of the things I wanted to
make sure that you do know that
00:18:55.63\00:18:58.13
if you're looking into the
School of Discipleship is that
00:18:58.13\00:19:01.20
we do provide housing for you.
00:19:01.20\00:19:02.90
So you will be
here on 3ABN campus.
00:19:03.30\00:19:05.44
We will provide the housing for
you, but even additionally you
00:19:06.04\00:19:09.28
don't have to worry so much
about food as well because we
00:19:09.28\00:19:11.65
do provide nice, wholesome
vegetarian meals for breakfast
00:19:11.65\00:19:15.58
and for lunch, but you
are responsible for your own
00:19:15.58\00:19:18.12
supper, but we do
provide that as well.
00:19:18.12\00:19:19.75
So the cost that you'll
see when you look into the
00:19:20.06\00:19:22.52
handbook, it covers all of that.
00:19:22.52\00:19:23.83
It will cover your housing
if you do need housing here.
00:19:23.93\00:19:26.70
But there's an additional
another option that if you have
00:19:27.03\00:19:31.30
an RV, kind of like how people
come for camp meetings, if you
00:19:31.30\00:19:34.27
have an RV or a camper,
you can use our hookup sites.
00:19:34.27\00:19:36.60
There's a
different cost for that.
00:19:36.87\00:19:38.44
But the tuition, the food,
the housing, all of that is
00:19:38.84\00:19:41.64
included.
00:19:41.64\00:19:44.78
worried about all of
these outside distractions, that
00:19:44.78\00:19:47.18
you're really focused on the
Word of God and what God has to
00:19:47.18\00:19:50.62
tell you while you're here.
00:19:50.62\00:19:51.79
So I pray, pray about it, and I
know that if the Lord wants you
00:19:51.89\00:19:55.22
here, you will
absolutely, positively be here.
00:19:55.22\00:19:58.29
So those dates again are?
00:19:58.73\00:20:00.73
October 24th
through November 2nd.
00:20:01.50\00:20:03.63
You understand there's a
limit to capacity for housing at
00:20:04.33\00:20:07.04
3AVN?
00:20:07.04\00:20:07.44
So the limit that we
accept right now is 35 students.
00:20:09.14\00:20:12.64
So we haven't reached that yet.
00:20:12.64\00:20:12.67
There's still a
lot of space available.
00:20:14.01\00:20:15.58
But you're more than, you know,
35 is where we kind of leave
00:20:16.21\00:20:18.91
our cap.
00:20:18.91\00:20:19.51
And the reason we do that
is because there's really great
00:20:20.12\00:20:22.52
one -on-one time.
00:20:22.52\00:20:23.62
And that's a really powerful
aspect of 3AVN School of
00:20:23.65\00:20:27.09
Discipleship.
00:20:27.09\00:20:29.96
there's one-on-one time with
the instructors because there's
00:20:29.96\00:20:32.33
so much going on in the world.
00:20:32.33\00:20:33.53
There's so many questions like,
wow, I don't quite understand
00:20:33.56\00:20:37.43
this, or what about that?
00:20:37.43\00:20:38.57
There's actually time to talk
to Pastor James, Pastor John,
00:20:38.70\00:20:41.87
and others, you
two, Ian, and others.
00:20:41.87\00:20:43.54
So to me that's a really
powerful time, one-on-one time
00:20:43.71\00:20:46.71
of Bible study and prayer.
00:20:46.71\00:20:47.94
It's a great aspect.
00:20:48.08\00:20:49.28
I really think that's what sets
this program apart from others.
00:20:49.34\00:20:51.88
Not that we're any better
than anyone else because each
00:20:51.91\00:20:54.78
ministry, each
schooling has their own purpose.
00:20:54.78\00:20:57.05
But one of the things that I
really love is how all of the
00:20:57.12\00:21:00.12
instructors have intentionally
set aside a time that after
00:21:00.12\00:21:03.53
class hours from 6 to 9, we
open up our schedule to have
00:21:03.53\00:21:07.93
those one-on-one
discipleship sessions.
00:21:07.93\00:21:09.70
And that's, I've seen where in
those sessions as well, people
00:21:09.70\00:21:14.34
have really come to know Jesus
or those answers that they were
00:21:14.34\00:21:17.61
looking for was
in those moments.
00:21:17.61\00:21:19.97
And it was just a real
blessing to be a part of them.
00:21:19.97\00:21:22.04
Thank you for all the hard work
you've put me into with Sod.
00:21:22.81\00:21:25.71
And Pastor James, thank you
for your leadership with the
00:21:25.81\00:21:28.55
program as well.
00:21:28.55\00:21:29.68
Pastor John for teaching,
Pastor Ryan and each member of
00:21:29.75\00:21:32.92
the team.
00:21:32.92\00:21:35.09
Pastor James, about the
school or anything on your heart
00:21:35.09\00:21:38.29
regarding that?
00:21:38.29\00:21:39.13
Yeah, I really believe that
we are living in a time when we
00:21:40.20\00:21:43.10
need to be
students of the Word of God.
00:21:43.10\00:21:44.90
And we do cover some subjects,
some difficult texts and
00:21:44.93\00:21:47.77
difficult doctrines in the
class that I think would really
00:21:47.77\00:21:51.04
be a blessing to so many
people, especially if you're,
00:21:51.04\00:21:54.61
again, new, just in your
walk with the Lord, young in the
00:21:54.64\00:21:57.55
faith.
00:21:57.55\00:22:01.72
this, that coming to this
school can help you to go out
00:22:01.72\00:22:05.95
and share with others, to
carry on outside in ministry, in
00:22:05.95\00:22:10.39
discipleship ministry, what
you're learning in the school.
00:22:10.39\00:22:12.43
So it will enable you to
actually get into ministry and
00:22:12.49\00:22:15.50
do ministry in your
local church or local area.
00:22:15.50\00:22:17.53
That's good.
00:22:17.83\00:22:18.33
Amen.
00:22:18.60\00:22:19.07
Amen.
00:22:20.17\00:22:22.17
Amen.
00:22:22.17\00:22:23.77
I know you're in a different
state than you're, I think, in
00:22:24.14\00:22:27.21
California.
00:22:27.21\00:22:29.88
God bless you.
00:22:30.28\00:22:30.88
Appreciate you very much.
00:22:30.88\00:22:31.65
Very grateful.
00:22:32.05\00:22:32.91
Thank you, Pastor.
00:22:33.31\00:22:34.48
I know Pastor James teaches,
Pastor Ryan Johnson teaches,
00:22:34.48\00:22:37.42
Pastor John Lomacane, and
Ian and others, so grateful for
00:22:37.79\00:22:42.32
that, absolutely.
00:22:42.32\00:22:43.29
Wow, with these one hour behind
the scenes programs that go by
00:22:44.03\00:22:46.29
in a hurry, what
should we touch on next, Jill?
00:22:46.29\00:22:48.30
Well, let's talk about Canada.
00:22:49.26\00:22:50.67
We just came back from the
Canada Rally, so you all want
00:22:50.87\00:22:53.50
to start with that.
00:22:53.50\00:22:56.14
want to share about our
experience in Toronto with our
00:22:56.14\00:22:59.24
brothers and sisters?
00:22:59.24\00:22:59.87
The Filipino Church.
00:22:59.94\00:23:00.88
The church was just, the people
were wonderful, just so warm
00:23:01.51\00:23:05.48
and caring, and they just made
sure that everything we needed,
00:23:05.48\00:23:09.52
we had, and they
were just so loving.
00:23:09.75\00:23:13.49
What a loving church.
00:23:13.86\00:23:15.16
It was really a
wonderful experience.
00:23:15.79\00:23:18.19
And they just, it's
like, they just kept giving.
00:23:19.09\00:23:21.90
They fed us.
00:23:21.93\00:23:23.13
Oh my goodness.
00:23:23.43\00:23:24.00
Yes, they did.
00:23:24.40\00:23:24.43
Good cooks.
00:23:25.67\00:23:26.67
Yes, there was so much food,
and from the time we got there
00:23:27.07\00:23:32.41
until even after the program,
we have something for you.
00:23:33.51\00:23:37.88
It was just so, so precious.
00:23:38.25\00:23:40.28
So, thank you so much to
the Toronto Filipino Church for
00:23:40.62\00:23:45.85
what you did.
00:23:45.85\00:23:46.72
You just loved on
us, and we love you back.
00:23:46.82\00:23:49.19
Absolutely.
00:23:49.69\00:23:50.03
And John, you
would have loved it.
00:23:50.53\00:23:51.36
They literally a week in
advance, built a sound system
00:23:51.69\00:23:56.80
for a wall and put it back,
and literally brought in all the
00:23:56.80\00:24:01.57
equipment.
00:24:01.57\00:24:01.90
Sound was excellent.
00:24:02.34\00:24:03.41
They came on Friday
afternoon when we got there.
00:24:03.81\00:24:06.14
There were like people
everywhere, and they were all
00:24:06.31\00:24:09.18
working.
00:24:09.18\00:24:12.88
They were preparing.
00:24:13.15\00:24:14.05
I mean, it was like, I don't
know if I've seen for that size
00:24:14.35\00:24:17.49
of church, so many people
working, and so excited about
00:24:17.49\00:24:21.19
the programs, and then
the support that they gave.
00:24:21.19\00:24:24.96
You know, because honestly,
when you're in the Lord's work,
00:24:25.23\00:24:27.66
a lot of people say, especially
here on TV, and they'll say,
00:24:27.83\00:24:30.77
Oh, that must be nice.
00:24:30.77\00:24:31.97
And, you know,
John, everybody loves you.
00:24:32.37\00:24:34.17
You know, you're just on TV.
00:24:34.27\00:24:35.54
And, Ian, you know, Greg and
Jill, well, we find out during
00:24:36.34\00:24:39.47
the week, of course, if
everybody loves you, you need
00:24:39.47\00:24:41.71
to be worried because all
who live godly shall suffer
00:24:41.71\00:24:46.65
persecutions.
00:24:49.65\00:24:50.12
That wasn't an edit thing.
00:24:50.29\00:24:51.95
That would be
doing that over and over.
00:24:52.22\00:24:54.19
So, everybody's
not going to love you.
00:24:54.36\00:24:56.26
So, we get all of these, no
matter what we do or say, every
00:24:56.49\00:24:59.63
one of us here get emails that,
Oh, I don't like this about
00:24:59.63\00:25:02.86
you, and I don't like
this, and you shouldn't.
00:25:02.86\00:25:05.17
So, it's nice to go into
a group where the people who
00:25:05.20\00:25:08.70
came, and some traveled, Jill,
from distances where they come
00:25:08.70\00:25:13.54
and say, We love 3ABN.
00:25:13.54\00:25:14.74
It's had an impact.
00:25:15.24\00:25:16.21
It's changed our lives.
00:25:16.38\00:25:17.88
Some of them have literally
accepted Jesus, was baptized
00:25:17.98\00:25:22.05
into the church, and it's good
to be around that, to see how
00:25:22.05\00:25:27.29
many people, and you
say, Wow, what an impact.
00:25:27.29\00:25:29.49
You know, 3ABN, you don't
really, sometimes we realize it
00:25:29.69\00:25:32.63
here, until you travel around
the world, and everywhere you
00:25:32.63\00:25:35.63
go, you see it too, and you'll
tell us about it, but I'm sure
00:25:35.63\00:25:39.07
in a few minutes, but it's had
an impact around the world, but
00:25:39.07\00:25:42.67
we go there, and we're
impacted, and we're blessed.
00:25:42.67\00:25:45.07
So, it was a wonderful,
wonderful meetings there, and
00:25:45.14\00:25:49.11
they're literally packed to
the church, and I mean, great
00:25:49.11\00:25:51.88
services, and it's fun
to work with you all, too.
00:25:51.88\00:25:54.72
We got to work together.
00:25:54.82\00:25:55.65
Brother Tim
Parton was there as well.
00:25:56.15\00:25:58.12
Yes, and Craig and Donna
Cleveland, directors of 3ABN
00:25:58.82\00:26:01.72
Canada, and they
did a great job, too.
00:26:01.72\00:26:04.13
Just wonderful to be together.
00:26:04.13\00:26:05.49
I think we have some pictures.
00:26:05.86\00:26:07.23
Let's see if we put them up,
and we can kind of talk through
00:26:07.30\00:26:09.63
them.
00:26:09.63\00:26:13.00
They came in from all over.
00:26:13.34\00:26:14.90
Here's Greg and Craig
talking up front there.
00:26:14.94\00:26:17.84
Updates about 3ABN Canada.
00:26:18.11\00:26:20.04
Excited about the work
that God is doing through 3ABN.
00:26:20.88\00:26:23.75
That sign in the back, was
it made in the Philippines?
00:26:23.75\00:26:25.75
It was made in the Philippines.
00:26:25.75\00:26:27.15
And they had it brought over.
00:26:28.38\00:26:29.78
Just a packed house on Sabbath.
00:26:30.35\00:26:32.85
I know that the church members
were in the overflow, because
00:26:33.19\00:26:35.96
the pastor said, let the
visitors sit in the sanctuary.
00:26:35.96\00:26:38.76
So, the church
members went to the overflow.
00:26:39.26\00:26:41.20
It was indeed.
00:26:41.86\00:26:42.80
Absolutely.
00:26:43.30\00:26:43.83
Beautiful music.
00:26:44.17\00:26:45.30
Yes.
00:26:46.23\00:26:49.17
So, that was a blessing.
00:26:49.27\00:26:50.74
Danny spoke for church.
00:26:50.87\00:26:51.97
Incredible message.
00:26:52.07\00:26:53.11
Miracles from God.
00:26:53.48\00:26:54.44
Tim doing music and
his thing at the piano.
00:26:54.48\00:26:56.81
Just such a blessing.
00:26:57.01\00:26:58.51
That's a lot of the
leadership team there.
00:26:59.35\00:27:01.68
There's Pastor Raul Malabrigo
and his wife, Sister Millette.
00:27:02.72\00:27:07.52
Wonderful people.
00:27:07.99\00:27:08.92
On the right is
Elder Chetty Williams.
00:27:08.99\00:27:11.26
He's an elder there in
communication, and he was the
00:27:11.53\00:27:14.36
one who initially
reached out to us about that.
00:27:14.36\00:27:16.67
The Pathfinders out in force,
just helping and doing their
00:27:16.93\00:27:21.10
thing.
00:27:21.10\00:27:23.20
Not all the people who came,
but just the church members
00:27:23.27\00:27:25.44
there.
00:27:25.44\00:27:26.11
They said, oh, we got
to get a picture together.
00:27:26.51\00:27:28.31
And they carved
that with a watermelon.
00:27:28.88\00:27:31.55
You can see 3ABN and
the logo carved in there.
00:27:31.71\00:27:34.68
It was.
00:27:35.45\00:27:36.05
It was so beautiful.
00:27:36.05\00:27:36.08
They did such a great job.
00:27:38.05\00:27:40.12
So, people came in, as you
referenced, they flew in from
00:27:40.19\00:27:44.83
across Canada.
00:27:44.83\00:27:45.73
There was a whole
church, a whole group of people.
00:27:45.93\00:27:48.43
I don't know how many came in
from Montreal, which would be,
00:27:48.60\00:27:50.90
what, seven hours
away from Toronto.
00:27:51.20\00:27:54.27
And one lady
flew in from Belize.
00:27:54.67\00:27:56.54
So just, we're so grateful
for the Toronto Pilipino Church.
00:27:58.74\00:28:02.64
And each member of the 3ABN
family there in Canada, what a
00:28:03.35\00:28:07.22
privilege to get to know you
and to spend time together and
00:28:07.22\00:28:10.55
to hear how this ministry
is impacting people's lives all
00:28:10.55\00:28:14.86
around the world.
00:28:14.86\00:28:15.56
That is true on the impact.
00:28:15.79\00:28:17.76
I talked to a couple that
during COVID, because of the
00:28:17.96\00:28:20.96
lockdowns, they were locked
down, so to speak, to their
00:28:20.96\00:28:23.73
home.
00:28:23.73\00:28:24.27
And they found
3ABN during COVID.
00:28:24.53\00:28:27.10
So they said, in spite of
all the tragedy with COVID, they
00:28:27.37\00:28:30.01
said, we're thankful
because God used that.
00:28:30.01\00:28:32.21
We were at home.
00:28:32.34\00:28:33.11
We couldn't go anywhere.
00:28:33.14\00:28:33.94
We found 3ABN by
divine appointment.
00:28:34.11\00:28:36.85
That's right, Annie.
00:28:36.85\00:28:37.41
Right?
00:28:37.68\00:28:39.78
They attended some of
the people that came from the
00:28:40.05\00:28:42.58
Montreal Church over to
visit with us there in Toronto.
00:28:42.58\00:28:46.22
So what a blessing.
00:28:46.42\00:28:47.52
You know, again, we tell you
these stories and to us, this
00:28:47.66\00:28:50.93
is what Behind the Scenes is
all about, is telling you about
00:28:50.93\00:28:53.96
the miracles that are taking
place because of the ministry
00:28:53.96\00:28:56.63
of 3ABN.
00:28:56.63\00:28:57.43
And it's for you.
00:28:57.70\00:28:58.93
We're trying to tell you these
things to give honor and glory
00:28:59.07\00:29:01.30
to Jesus Christ, but
to encourage you as well.
00:29:01.30\00:29:03.44
Because so many
of you sacrifice.
00:29:03.71\00:29:05.54
I know many of
you write us letters.
00:29:05.77\00:29:08.08
We still receive a lot of
letters in the office here and
00:29:08.18\00:29:10.65
of course emails and on social
media where you say, we're
00:29:10.65\00:29:13.88
praying for you.
00:29:13.88\00:29:14.52
We're praying for you.
00:29:14.68\00:29:15.68
I go back to the lady last
year who anonymously I talked to
00:29:15.88\00:29:19.42
her.
00:29:19.42\00:29:20.52
I couldn't look her
phone number up when I did.
00:29:20.59\00:29:22.09
It just, I couldn't
see who it was attached to.
00:29:22.19\00:29:24.53
But she said, Greg, she
says, there will be shaky times
00:29:24.89\00:29:27.50
ahead.
00:29:27.50\00:29:28.06
This was late last year, right?
00:29:28.20\00:29:29.43
She said, Greg, there
will be shaky times ahead.
00:29:29.63\00:29:31.73
But Greg, have
unshakable faith in God.
00:29:32.17\00:29:35.97
It made such a profound impact
on me that I wrote it on a
00:29:36.17\00:29:38.54
little sticky note and I looked
at it again yesterday, right?
00:29:38.54\00:29:40.71
Because things around us can
kind of seem chaotic at times.
00:29:40.71\00:29:42.81
That sticky note is right there
beside my computer monitor and
00:29:43.04\00:29:45.68
it says, anonymous,
have unshakable faith in God.
00:29:45.68\00:29:49.25
I don't know who this dear lady
is but she said, this was last
00:29:49.32\00:29:52.72
year she said, have
faith in God, my son.
00:29:52.72\00:29:55.19
She's like a mom.
00:29:55.59\00:29:56.29
She's my young man.
00:29:56.52\00:29:57.69
She said, have faith
in God, have faith in God.
00:29:57.79\00:29:59.73
So right, we can
hang on to Jesus Christ.
00:29:59.79\00:30:01.53
You know, so many times I
think about Christ in that boat,
00:30:02.03\00:30:04.83
right?
00:30:05.23\00:30:09.10
and the disciples were in the
boat and they became afraid and
00:30:09.10\00:30:12.21
Jesus was sleeping in the boat.
00:30:12.21\00:30:13.58
Praise God, those disciples
didn't dive off the boat,
00:30:14.08\00:30:15.98
right?
00:30:16.04\00:30:18.71
Remember that.
00:30:19.58\00:30:20.35
Stay on the ship with Jesus.
00:30:20.92\00:30:22.98
Whatever storms and chaos
is going around you, family,
00:30:23.15\00:30:26.72
theology, whatever it is,
stay in the boat with Jesus.
00:30:26.96\00:30:31.13
Look to Jesus, right?
00:30:31.23\00:30:32.46
Do not get discouraged.
00:30:32.76\00:30:35.16
We talked about the
beginning of this program.
00:30:35.26\00:30:36.90
We have so much
to be thankful for.
00:30:37.20\00:30:38.73
We have so much to
be encouraged about.
00:30:38.77\00:30:40.64
One is, we have the Word of God.
00:30:40.97\00:30:42.40
We hear from people
where they're trying to find or
00:30:42.64\00:30:45.07
they're watching 3ABN
undercover because of the
00:30:45.07\00:30:47.81
persecution that's going on.
00:30:47.81\00:30:49.11
They're so thankful for
bits and pieces of the scripture
00:30:49.38\00:30:51.78
because they're not
allowed to have a Bible.
00:30:51.78\00:30:53.92
We have so much.
00:30:53.98\00:30:55.82
Let's not take it for granted.
00:30:55.88\00:30:56.92
We have so much.
00:30:56.92\00:30:58.22
So while there's time, let's
continue to proclaim the final
00:30:58.42\00:31:02.12
cry.
00:31:02.12\00:31:03.83
We only got 26 minutes left.
00:31:03.93\00:31:04.93
Greg had a couple of people.
00:31:06.86\00:31:08.76
One man said that he had been
raised in the church and been a
00:31:08.80\00:31:12.90
Christian and he left
for years, many, many years.
00:31:12.90\00:31:15.90
He said, I was
headed down a terrible path.
00:31:16.14\00:31:18.54
I got into everything
that I shouldn't have.
00:31:18.61\00:31:21.08
And he said, I don't know where
he lives, but it's in Canada.
00:31:21.94\00:31:26.41
And he said, I had tuned in.
00:31:26.85\00:31:27.92
I was able to watch 3ABN.
00:31:28.02\00:31:29.62
We gave my life to the Lord.
00:31:29.65\00:31:31.42
It had been a
couple of years now.
00:31:31.49\00:31:33.02
So he had to be there.
00:31:33.29\00:31:35.26
He said, I had to be there
to see everybody and to let you
00:31:35.29\00:31:38.03
know.
00:31:38.03\00:31:41.86
rope, didn't know what to do
and felt like just throwing in
00:31:41.86\00:31:45.80
the towel, giving up on life.
00:31:45.80\00:31:47.24
And I was driving my truck
and I just said, Lord, help me.
00:31:47.24\00:31:51.51
You have to help me.
00:31:51.51\00:31:52.91
And he said, by the time he got
home, he said, I turned on my
00:31:52.91\00:31:58.35
TV and there was 3ABN.
00:31:58.35\00:32:00.48
So he said,
that's totally changed.
00:32:00.75\00:32:03.35
I knew the Lord sent a message
and I don't remember what
00:32:03.35\00:32:06.72
particular message, but the
Lord sent a message to whoever
00:32:06.72\00:32:09.86
was speaking that he said, I
rededicated my life to Jesus or
00:32:09.86\00:32:14.13
dedicated it.
00:32:14.13\00:32:15.13
And so now he's happy, excited.
00:32:15.33\00:32:17.97
So those are the kind of people
when you travel that you look
00:32:18.43\00:32:22.17
forward to meeting and come up
and say, thank you for what you
00:32:22.17\00:32:25.41
do for the cause of God.
00:32:25.41\00:32:26.44
And we realize it's not
us, it's the Holy Spirit.
00:32:26.61\00:32:29.24
But that lives are being
changed and for the better all
00:32:30.18\00:32:33.85
because of you.
00:32:33.85\00:32:35.45
And thank you again.
00:32:35.52\00:32:36.48
It's without your love and your
prayers and financial support,
00:32:36.75\00:32:39.72
we wouldn't be able to continue
to broadcast around the world.
00:32:40.19\00:32:43.26
Before we go to the next point,
I just want to mention as far
00:32:44.96\00:32:47.23
as talking about supporting
Mr. Danny, for those of you that
00:32:47.23\00:32:49.93
may not know, we actually
have a relatively new donation
00:32:49.93\00:32:53.50
platform online just in case
you haven't checked that out.
00:32:53.50\00:32:56.07
Some of you have asked before
and maybe you're not aware, but
00:32:56.34\00:32:58.84
we actually do have e-check
donations that you can do now.
00:32:58.84\00:33:01.24
So if you just go to
3ABN's website and just a little
00:33:01.28\00:33:04.21
donate tab, I believe it's in
the upper right hand side, just
00:33:04.21\00:33:07.25
click the donate tab.
00:33:07.25\00:33:08.25
And then you can now actually
donate through PayPal, of
00:33:08.58\00:33:11.52
course through credit card,
which we've done for a long
00:33:11.52\00:33:13.19
time, but then also e-check.
00:33:13.19\00:33:14.49
A lot of you have asked like,
hey, instead of sending a check
00:33:14.72\00:33:16.79
in, we'd actually like
to just donate via e-check.
00:33:16.79\00:33:19.63
That is now available.
00:33:19.83\00:33:21.56
So just so you know, just check
out 3ABN.org, hit the little
00:33:21.80\00:33:25.53
donate tab, and then you
can see all those options right
00:33:25.53\00:33:27.47
there.
00:33:27.47\00:33:27.97
So just FYI for you.
00:33:28.00\00:33:28.87
Amen.
00:33:29.24\00:33:29.97
Speaking of preparing to
proclaim the final cry, it's so
00:33:30.37\00:33:33.27
important that we know what
we believe during these closing
00:33:33.27\00:33:37.21
moments of our history.
00:33:37.21\00:33:38.28
So Pastor John, talk to us
about a new series coming up
00:33:38.48\00:33:41.32
this summer that you will
be doing, counteracting the
00:33:41.32\00:33:44.52
counterfeit.
00:33:44.52\00:33:45.15
And by the way, I need to...
00:33:45.15\00:33:46.99
That phrase, I've
never heard it before.
00:33:46.99\00:33:48.76
You know, Pastor John, how
many years have you been here?
00:33:50.43\00:33:52.23
That just came to me.
00:33:52.66\00:33:54.10
It was an epiphany one day.
00:33:54.23\00:33:55.26
Oh no, Mr. Danny.
00:33:55.66\00:33:56.83
Loaning tile.
00:33:56.90\00:33:57.60
Thank you, Danny, for that tile.
00:33:58.30\00:33:59.60
I think that the whole
existence of 3ABN is sustained
00:33:59.83\00:34:03.37
by the Lord for that reason.
00:34:03.37\00:34:04.64
I don't think that we would
be here as long as we have been
00:34:05.34\00:34:07.98
privileged to be a part of it,
going on 22 years now, that if
00:34:07.98\00:34:12.48
3ABN was not dedicated to
counteracting the counterfeit.
00:34:12.48\00:34:15.42
And as a pastor for the
Adventist Church, as well as
00:34:16.22\00:34:19.72
working with 3ABN, we have seen
the Church on a world scale.
00:34:19.72\00:34:23.73
60-something countries later,
we see the battles around the
00:34:24.39\00:34:27.23
world.
00:34:27.23\00:34:31.43
American Division that covers
13 major areas where the Church
00:34:31.43\00:34:35.10
on the world scale
is being challenged.
00:34:35.10\00:34:36.64
But over the last four or five
years ago, four or five years,
00:34:37.14\00:34:40.71
I've seen developing in
America, not just America, but
00:34:40.81\00:34:45.18
Australia and different parts
of the world, doctrinal issues
00:34:45.18\00:34:47.88
that for my psyche, I've been
asking myself, honestly, are we
00:34:47.88\00:34:53.39
doubting that?
00:34:53.39\00:34:54.16
And it's not the
Church specifically.
00:34:54.82\00:34:56.76
I'm not talking about
the General Conference.
00:34:56.83\00:34:58.06
We're not changing
our views as a Church.
00:34:58.16\00:35:00.16
But in different pockets,
certain doctrines are being
00:35:00.96\00:35:03.90
challenged.
00:35:03.90\00:35:08.44
for that, I mean, sorry, August.
00:35:08.44\00:35:09.64
It's a counteract, counterfeit.
00:35:10.31\00:35:12.11
I'm addressing seven of the
major areas that the Church is
00:35:12.51\00:35:15.64
being, when I say Church, once
again, I want to qualify that,
00:35:15.64\00:35:18.65
members in the Church.
00:35:18.65\00:35:19.55
Let me just say
something about the Church.
00:35:19.55\00:35:19.58
There are those who don't
know what the word Church means.
00:35:21.35\00:35:23.72
And they think that, well,
you know, the Adventists believe
00:35:23.89\00:35:26.12
they are the Church.
00:35:26.12\00:35:27.16
Well, the Church is in two
conditions, wheat and tear.
00:35:27.62\00:35:30.13
But the Church will not fall.
00:35:30.59\00:35:31.93
There are those who think,
well, the Church is going to
00:35:32.03\00:35:33.63
fall, look at all the
problems that's happening.
00:35:33.63\00:35:34.93
You know, Jesus said, upon this
rock I build my Church, and the
00:35:35.20\00:35:37.63
gates of hell will
not prevail against it.
00:35:37.63\00:35:39.27
So wherever you are, God
is gathering his people, other
00:35:39.77\00:35:42.74
sheep I have that
are not of this foal.
00:35:42.74\00:35:44.37
But the gathering will not be
effective if we all of a sudden
00:35:45.04\00:35:47.98
become uncertain in our views.
00:35:47.98\00:35:51.01
The trumpet has to
have a certain sound.
00:35:51.35\00:35:53.25
You can't just, you know, the
Lord says, blow the trumpet in
00:35:53.62\00:35:56.38
Zion.
00:35:56.38\00:35:58.39
You use a trumpet.
00:35:58.45\00:35:59.35
When the doctrines are not
clear, you're using the wrong
00:36:00.09\00:36:02.66
instrument.
00:36:02.66\00:36:03.39
And so, for example, the
literal week of creation, I
00:36:03.79\00:36:06.86
never thought that would be
questioned among those who keep
00:36:06.86\00:36:08.76
the Sabbath.
00:36:08.76\00:36:09.23
But somewhere in some of
our institutions, evolution and
00:36:09.96\00:36:13.60
creation have found their
shaking hands and people are
00:36:13.60\00:36:17.87
now beginning to doubt whether
or not creation actually was
00:36:17.87\00:36:20.74
seven literal days.
00:36:20.74\00:36:22.08
That's the first one.
00:36:22.74\00:36:23.65
And then this one really
threw me, Danny, and all of our
00:36:24.21\00:36:27.55
guests here on the table, not
guest family, the pre-existing
00:36:27.55\00:36:32.15
eternal Jesus.
00:36:32.15\00:36:33.29
And either you believe He was
in the beginning was the Word
00:36:34.19\00:36:38.33
and the Word was with
God and the Word was God.
00:36:38.33\00:36:39.79
He was either, He's either
the creator or the creator.
00:36:39.93\00:36:42.66
He can't be both.
00:36:42.83\00:36:43.53
You cannot redeem
those you don't create.
00:36:43.80\00:36:45.80
And you cannot redeem
yourself if you're a part of the
00:36:45.87\00:36:48.47
creation.
00:36:48.47\00:36:52.57
And the other one reminds me
of the problem that Stephen had
00:36:53.51\00:36:56.98
just before he was stoned.
00:36:56.98\00:36:58.51
I think it's in Acts chapter
7, where Stephen said to the
00:36:58.68\00:37:01.78
Pharisees, you resist the
Holy Spirit as your fathers did.
00:37:01.78\00:37:06.49
So we're talking about the Holy
Spirit, the third person of the
00:37:06.89\00:37:09.89
Godhead.
00:37:09.89\00:37:10.19
Either He is
divine or He isn't divine.
00:37:10.76\00:37:12.69
Either He is the third person
of the Godhead or He isn't.
00:37:12.83\00:37:15.60
So we're dealing with that
in all the accoutrements of the
00:37:15.63\00:37:18.13
arguments that
come along with it.
00:37:18.13\00:37:19.37
Then the 2300
days in the sanctuary.
00:37:19.90\00:37:21.57
Does the Bible
speak about the 2300 days?
00:37:21.74\00:37:24.11
Is it literal or is it symbolic?
00:37:24.17\00:37:25.81
And how does it fit
into the sanctuary message?
00:37:25.91\00:37:27.61
We're going to talk about that.
00:37:27.78\00:37:28.88
And by the way, we're not
re -teaching the doctrines.
00:37:28.88\00:37:31.21
What this series is, is
showing why the Adventist Church
00:37:31.75\00:37:34.65
believes and
embraces these teachings.
00:37:34.65\00:37:36.62
We're not re-teaching it.
00:37:36.99\00:37:37.95
The Church is solid on this.
00:37:37.99\00:37:39.15
But people have brought up
questions that say, well, what
00:37:39.49\00:37:41.89
about this?
00:37:41.89\00:37:42.29
What about that?
00:37:42.32\00:37:43.16
And you know, I honestly
need to say you've got to be
00:37:43.49\00:37:46.36
grounded before you stop
meandering in the maze of
00:37:46.36\00:37:48.76
mediocrity.
00:37:48.76\00:37:49.00
So the 2300 days
in the sanctuary.
00:37:49.73\00:37:51.67
Then the fifth one is the pre
-Advent investigative judgment.
00:37:51.73\00:37:54.44
Is there a pre-Advent
judgment or isn't there?
00:37:55.10\00:37:57.74
1 Peter 4, 17.
00:37:58.31\00:37:59.17
The time has come for a
judgment at the beginning of
00:37:59.44\00:38:01.28
the house of God.
00:38:01.28\00:38:01.81
What is that all about?
00:38:01.81\00:38:02.68
We're going to talk about that.
00:38:03.04\00:38:04.05
Then salvation is
now becoming an issue.
00:38:04.75\00:38:06.38
With this love reality
movement, people saying one
00:38:06.41\00:38:08.85
saved, always saved.
00:38:08.85\00:38:09.58
It's not even an
Adventist version.
00:38:10.19\00:38:11.42
It's a demonic
version of salvation.
00:38:11.52\00:38:13.29
Salvation is grace filled
from the beginning to the end.
00:38:14.06\00:38:16.83
The ark is grace.
00:38:16.89\00:38:17.63
The grace of God is the
delivering grace of God.
00:38:18.16\00:38:21.03
I talk about this.
00:38:21.06\00:38:21.86
I'm doing a series
actually at our church.
00:38:22.03\00:38:23.70
We're going to tune
in on a Sabbath morning.
00:38:23.73\00:38:24.87
God's grace is the first part.
00:38:25.47\00:38:26.94
Grace is the salvation
from the penalty of sin.
00:38:27.67\00:38:29.57
That's grace.
00:38:29.57\00:38:29.60
The transforming
grace is the second part.
00:38:31.01\00:38:32.77
Salvation from the power of sin.
00:38:32.84\00:38:34.51
Then the sealing grace is
salvation from the presence of
00:38:35.01\00:38:37.95
sin.
00:38:37.95\00:38:39.05
So we're not
pursuing perfection.
00:38:39.85\00:38:41.45
We're pursuing Jesus.
00:38:41.58\00:38:42.65
So don't think
you're pursuing perfection.
00:38:42.68\00:38:44.52
You can't be perfect on any day.
00:38:44.62\00:38:46.19
The moment you say
you're perfect, you cease to be.
00:38:46.62\00:38:48.59
So we're talking
about what is salvation?
00:38:48.92\00:38:50.29
Justification
and sanctification.
00:38:50.63\00:38:51.89
Because glorification doesn't
mean there's no more sin.
00:38:51.96\00:38:53.70
Finally, the
role of Ellen White.
00:38:54.46\00:38:56.00
This is a repetitive process.
00:38:56.53\00:38:58.07
I was attacked on this
before I was an Adventist.
00:38:58.43\00:39:00.84
Thank God I knew
and I studied enough.
00:39:01.20\00:39:03.10
When I became a pastor the
first year, I was attacked on
00:39:03.44\00:39:05.64
this.
00:39:05.64\00:39:06.11
I understand the
role of Ellen White.
00:39:06.51\00:39:07.84
Ellen White is not
on par with the Bible.
00:39:07.94\00:39:09.84
She doesn't say she was.
00:39:10.48\00:39:11.88
She never intended to be.
00:39:11.95\00:39:13.01
Some people take her writings
out of context and put her
00:39:13.35\00:39:15.78
above the Bible.
00:39:15.78\00:39:16.58
Some people say
she's infallible.
00:39:17.29\00:39:18.75
That's not the case.
00:39:18.79\00:39:19.79
Ellen White is
copied from other authors.
00:39:19.89\00:39:22.16
She makes that clear.
00:39:22.32\00:39:23.39
So we're going to talk about
what is the role of Ellen White
00:39:23.53\00:39:25.36
and why does the Adventist
Church believe that her gift is
00:39:25.36\00:39:28.76
instrumental.
00:39:28.76\00:39:29.33
We don't use her
gift to convert people.
00:39:29.63\00:39:31.47
You don't get
converted to Ellen White.
00:39:32.03\00:39:33.40
Ellen White is not our savior.
00:39:33.50\00:39:34.77
But her council
has a particular place.
00:39:35.40\00:39:36.94
So we're going
to talk about that.
00:39:36.94\00:39:38.11
So it's called
Counteracting the Counterfeit.
00:39:38.51\00:39:40.21
Thank you for the title, Danny.
00:39:40.24\00:39:41.28
And we're going to also not
have just the program but we're
00:39:42.38\00:39:45.85
going to have a half hour
segment after the program.
00:39:45.85\00:39:48.08
We're going to have guests that
are going to be responding to
00:39:48.25\00:39:51.55
questions.
00:39:51.55\00:39:54.06
input.
00:39:54.06\00:39:56.93
can put your questions in.
00:39:56.93\00:39:58.36
In the last 30 minutes, we're
going to have different guest
00:39:58.69\00:40:00.93
people that are going
to be Skyped in, different
00:40:00.93\00:40:04.30
individuals that are going to
be responding to the questions
00:40:04.30\00:40:07.14
along with me.
00:40:07.14\00:40:07.87
We want to be as
candid as we possibly can now.
00:40:08.20\00:40:10.57
We're not going to be
reteaching the doctrines.
00:40:11.21\00:40:13.11
Simply saying this is why the
Adventist Church embraces the
00:40:13.27\00:40:17.08
doctrines.
00:40:17.08\00:40:20.65
the counterfeits because these
that are being torn apart are
00:40:20.65\00:40:23.95
being done by
counterfeit doctrines.
00:40:23.95\00:40:26.65
So we have to
remain firm on that.
00:40:26.69\00:40:28.29
So that's what's coming up.
00:40:28.36\00:40:29.42
And by the way, we're doing
this right now on Wednesday
00:40:29.56\00:40:31.16
nights at our church.
00:40:31.16\00:40:32.26
We're filtering it out
in our online Bible study.
00:40:32.63\00:40:35.10
You go to johnloanmaking.com
and download the syllabus.
00:40:35.16\00:40:37.50
But we're doing it now on a
regulatory basis so we can hear
00:40:38.07\00:40:41.44
all the arguments, all the
resistance, all the things that
00:40:41.44\00:40:44.44
are out there so that by
the time the series comes we'll
00:40:44.44\00:40:47.24
have downloadable lessons.
00:40:47.24\00:40:48.28
So it's going to
be pretty candid.
00:40:48.68\00:40:50.78
Not reteaching it, but simply
saying these are the reasons
00:40:51.05\00:40:53.52
why we believe it as a church.
00:40:53.52\00:40:54.68
Thank you so much
for doing this series.
00:40:54.92\00:40:57.22
It's so important, I think.
00:40:57.32\00:40:58.45
There's so much confusion.
00:40:58.72\00:40:59.75
There's so much chaos.
00:41:00.06\00:41:01.02
And it's so important that
we're grounded in the Word.
00:41:01.22\00:41:03.39
That we know what we believe.
00:41:03.53\00:41:05.53
That we know why we believe it.
00:41:05.59\00:41:07.73
And that we know that we
can teach that to someone else.
00:41:07.73\00:41:10.97
So it's really important
to be biblically grounded.
00:41:10.97\00:41:13.44
You know, in talking about
teaching it to someone else,
00:41:13.87\00:41:15.44
Jill, I see these Bible study
guides right under your Bible.
00:41:15.54\00:41:17.71
Do you want to talk to us about
those study guides right here
00:41:17.77\00:41:20.94
from 3ABN?
00:41:20.94\00:41:25.28
This is Set 1.
00:41:25.51\00:41:27.12
Set 2 is more of
the prophecy set.
00:41:27.25\00:41:29.12
You can download them
for free at 3ABN's website.
00:41:29.65\00:41:32.95
Or you can order them.
00:41:33.05\00:41:34.56
You can get the combo set
or you can get any number of
00:41:34.76\00:41:38.49
options.
00:41:38.49\00:41:39.16
You can go to 3ABN.tv
and click on the Store tab.
00:41:39.53\00:41:43.10
And you can see the
Bible study guides there.
00:41:43.26\00:41:45.37
We have them in English.
00:41:45.37\00:41:46.40
We have them in
Spanish, Pastor Johnny.
00:41:46.43\00:41:48.57
Set number 1 is
already translated in Spanish.
00:41:49.10\00:41:51.84
Printing here.
00:41:51.97\00:41:52.84
And working on Greek
and German and French.
00:41:53.17\00:41:57.31
Did you say Greek?
00:41:58.08\00:41:58.78
Yes.
00:41:59.18\00:41:59.91
I have a friend who
works in accounting.
00:42:00.18\00:42:01.75
She is very fluent in Greek.
00:42:01.85\00:42:03.59
So she is doing all
the proofreading of that.
00:42:03.85\00:42:05.52
That's fantastic.
00:42:05.72\00:42:06.39
Praise the Lord.
00:42:06.39\00:42:06.89
I know we need to
talk about Guatemala.
00:42:08.69\00:42:10.69
I saw these books under here.
00:42:11.19\00:42:13.26
Jill, so another perk of coming
to camp meeting here right in
00:42:13.60\00:42:16.93
person is of course these
are some of Mr. Danny's great
00:42:16.93\00:42:20.77
sharing books that we will have
available right here at camp
00:42:20.77\00:42:24.14
meeting.
00:42:24.14\00:42:26.88
And Jill, I know we'll be
having some specials on that.
00:42:26.88\00:42:28.74
I think they may be able to
pick up some of these cases for
00:42:28.84\00:42:31.41
free if you come in
person to camp meeting.
00:42:31.41\00:42:34.28
These are great sharing books.
00:42:34.35\00:42:35.62
These are just two of several.
00:42:35.65\00:42:36.95
That's right because you don't
have to pay the shipping which
00:42:37.35\00:42:39.32
is a tremendous blessing.
00:42:39.32\00:42:40.59
So you can just pick it up and
take it with you in the car and
00:42:40.89\00:42:44.09
pass them out to Truth About
Abortion and Can the Christian
00:42:44.09\00:42:47.76
Church Affirm LGBTQ
among other books as well.
00:42:47.76\00:42:50.57
Those are cutting edge
topics as well right now.
00:42:50.97\00:42:53.84
There's a lot of chaos on that.
00:42:53.84\00:42:55.94
To be able to present the truth
from the Word of God and share
00:42:55.94\00:42:59.74
that with others.
00:42:59.74\00:43:00.51
3ABN is all about evangelism
so we want to help you.
00:43:01.18\00:43:03.55
So talking about evangelism,
Pastor Johnny, you were there
00:43:03.68\00:43:06.41
in Guatemala with
some evangelism, correct?
00:43:06.41\00:43:08.85
Yes, we received an
invitation to go to Totonicapan,
00:43:09.45\00:43:13.39
Guatemala.
00:43:13.59\00:43:14.19
And we arrived in
Guatemala, Guatemala.
00:43:15.06\00:43:18.86
It's the city, the capital city.
00:43:18.86\00:43:21.13
And you know, I just want
to say this that 3ABN has a
00:43:21.13\00:43:25.80
presence in Guatemala.
00:43:25.80\00:43:26.87
It was amazing.
00:43:27.07\00:43:27.97
And I'm going to say this just
to show the coverage because we
00:43:28.30\00:43:32.64
arrived in Guatemala as we
were going through the airport.
00:43:32.64\00:43:34.91
Somebody recognized Idalia and
another Seventh-day Adventist.
00:43:35.11\00:43:40.55
And we were like,
wow, praise the Lord.
00:43:40.65\00:43:41.85
And then of course when you're
flying on these planes you miss
00:43:42.32\00:43:46.35
your lunch time and
you're on different schedules.
00:43:46.35\00:43:48.36
It goes thrown out on a wagon.
00:43:48.36\00:43:51.09
So we had another three and
a half hours of driving so they
00:43:52.03\00:43:55.86
decided to stop and eat.
00:43:55.86\00:43:56.90
And they're in a restaurant.
00:43:57.50\00:43:58.70
Two ladies again recognized us
and we go through a market and
00:43:58.77\00:44:05.61
people recognize us again.
00:44:05.61\00:44:07.01
And we're not talking
about everybody but you know the
00:44:07.64\00:44:11.48
understanding that some
people are because not everybody
00:44:11.48\00:44:15.58
watches 3ABN.
00:44:15.58\00:44:16.25
We hope they do.
00:44:16.25\00:44:17.19
We were recognized in so many
different places that we say
00:44:18.55\00:44:21.69
3ABN is recognized.
00:44:21.69\00:44:23.29
It shows that the
message is going out.
00:44:23.59\00:44:25.79
And so we just praise
the Lord for the opportunity.
00:44:27.83\00:44:30.03
We were there from the
5th to the 12th of April.
00:44:30.80\00:44:33.64
And we were told this
is not a reaping crusade.
00:44:34.84\00:44:39.17
This is like a planting.
00:44:39.37\00:44:41.21
You're planting seeds.
00:44:41.28\00:44:42.08
Because we were actually
invited by a church that has
00:44:42.51\00:44:44.45
about 16 members.
00:44:44.45\00:44:45.61
A brand new church.
00:44:45.78\00:44:46.51
Can you use the word
brand new to say church?
00:44:46.95\00:44:48.92
Brand new church.
00:44:48.92\00:44:49.75
A brand new church.
00:44:50.45\00:44:51.59
16 members that they kind
of just selected them from
00:44:51.79\00:44:54.56
different congregations to
say we want this to be a church
00:44:54.56\00:44:58.03
that reaches the school.
00:44:58.03\00:44:59.79
The conference has
a very strong school.
00:45:00.76\00:45:03.47
There are over 400 students.
00:45:03.63\00:45:04.97
And so it was
held in the school.
00:45:05.60\00:45:07.87
So the children had
opportunities to participate.
00:45:08.40\00:45:10.97
And we'll see that
in a moment in a video.
00:45:11.74\00:45:14.21
We have some video.
00:45:14.34\00:45:15.04
And so still yet I wondered
is there anybody out there that
00:45:16.71\00:45:22.15
maybe they haven't given
their hearts to the Lord.
00:45:22.15\00:45:24.59
We were supposed to be planting.
00:45:25.25\00:45:26.49
Somebody out there must be must
be ready to make a decision for
00:45:26.76\00:45:30.69
Jesus for baptism.
00:45:30.69\00:45:31.73
Of course we had a lot
of people say they wanted to
00:45:32.03\00:45:34.56
recommit their lives.
00:45:34.56\00:45:35.50
So we were still like Lord do
we make appeals for baptisms or
00:45:35.80\00:45:39.93
not?
00:45:39.93\00:45:45.04
people decided that they wanted
to to get ready for baptism.
00:45:45.04\00:45:49.38
And so we praise
the Lord for that.
00:45:49.54\00:45:51.45
We do want to show the
video if we can do that now.
00:45:52.48\00:45:54.38
I'll talk through it.
00:45:54.42\00:45:55.32
The name of the
series is Decide for Jesus.
00:45:56.52\00:46:00.72
Decide for Jesus.
00:46:01.06\00:46:01.82
And so this was
hosting the program.
00:46:02.39\00:46:06.80
It was broadcast on the local
TV and radio that was owned by
00:46:06.80\00:46:11.87
the conference.
00:46:11.87\00:46:12.47
And these are the
children participating.
00:46:12.80\00:46:14.17
Every night they
came in and they sang.
00:46:14.27\00:46:16.47
Every night they also came in
and would have a clever way of
00:46:16.87\00:46:21.31
telling people welcome.
00:46:21.31\00:46:23.11
Welcome to this
night of experience.
00:46:23.24\00:46:26.28
There was participation also
of the children in the upper
00:46:27.02\00:46:30.69
grades.
00:46:30.69\00:46:36.52
they were hearing.
00:46:36.52\00:46:37.09
These are the children singing.
00:46:37.33\00:46:38.13
They're members of the school
and some of the members, some
00:46:38.59\00:46:42.00
of the children.
00:46:42.00\00:46:42.86
It was very cute.
00:46:44.40\00:46:45.97
Very cute.
00:46:45.97\00:46:46.00
All their participation.
00:46:46.74\00:46:47.74
And some of the parents that
have their kids in the school
00:46:48.40\00:46:52.07
are not members of the
Seventh day Adventist Church.
00:46:52.07\00:46:54.61
So they were there because they
wanted to see their children
00:46:54.98\00:46:57.21
participate.
00:46:57.21\00:47:00.22
And so this is one of
the little dramas they did to
00:47:00.42\00:47:03.18
illustrate a bible story
that went along with the series.
00:47:03.18\00:47:07.52
And so they were
excited to be a part of it.
00:47:08.32\00:47:11.89
They were excited
to be a part of it.
00:47:12.03\00:47:13.26
They were groups
singing quartets.
00:47:13.40\00:47:16.06
They were even soloists
that were participating.
00:47:16.20\00:47:19.27
And of course it was a
tremendous blessing to see the
00:47:19.67\00:47:23.51
people come.
00:47:23.51\00:47:24.17
And interestingly enough we
didn't ask them but we heard at
00:47:25.54\00:47:28.64
least two songs from Pillars
of Our Faith that they sang.
00:47:28.64\00:47:32.85
And so we just praised the Lord.
00:47:33.48\00:47:35.42
That music has
really impacted society.
00:47:35.62\00:47:38.12
I mean the Seventh day
Adventists and people all over
00:47:38.29\00:47:40.12
the world.
00:47:40.12\00:47:40.92
And so this particular
lady had a beautiful voice.
00:47:41.16\00:47:43.66
We're sorry we're not going
to let you listen to her but a
00:47:43.83\00:47:46.06
beautiful voice.
00:47:46.06\00:47:46.73
Beautiful talent.
00:47:47.13\00:47:48.03
Great talent for the Lord.
00:47:48.23\00:47:49.40
Dedicating their lives.
00:47:49.70\00:47:50.60
And one of the things that
really touched us was there
00:47:50.87\00:47:53.60
were a lot of young
people as members of the church.
00:47:53.60\00:47:57.34
A lot of young people.
00:47:57.44\00:47:58.44
A good attendance.
00:47:59.14\00:48:00.78
We had some people come from
other cities because of 3ABN.
00:48:00.78\00:48:05.55
And we had a chance to be
the conference president came to
00:48:06.21\00:48:11.42
the evangelistic campaign.
00:48:11.42\00:48:12.49
The mayor of the city came and
the governor also came to the
00:48:12.95\00:48:16.73
evangelistic campaign.
00:48:16.73\00:48:19.89
Lord.
00:48:19.89\00:48:21.43
So we praise the Lord for
the opportunity to preach the
00:48:21.63\00:48:26.80
Gospel and to bring a message
to people in this time of need.
00:48:26.80\00:48:30.61
We just praise the Lord because
before the meetings were over
00:48:31.07\00:48:37.05
we met with the conference
president the conference
00:48:37.05\00:48:39.21
leadership and they
invited us to come back.
00:48:39.21\00:48:42.18
And we said we're going to look
for a day to see when we can
00:48:42.25\00:48:45.19
come back.
00:48:45.19\00:48:48.92
president of the
conference and the others.
00:48:48.92\00:48:51.16
This is the president of
the conference sitting next to
00:48:51.23\00:48:53.06
Idalia and his wife.
00:48:53.06\00:48:54.10
His name is
Pastor Fabian Natareno.
00:48:54.56\00:48:58.00
I praise the Lord they had the
opportunity to be with Idalia.
00:48:58.60\00:49:01.34
There was one young lady
that was ready for baptism.
00:49:01.40\00:49:04.24
So I was given the opportunity
to baptize her and she was a
00:49:04.37\00:49:08.64
little nervous.
00:49:08.64\00:49:09.31
So many people looking at her.
00:49:09.31\00:49:10.68
But praise the Lord.
00:49:11.18\00:49:12.15
It's kind of a short tank there.
00:49:12.61\00:49:14.08
That was a very
short baptismal pool.
00:49:15.12\00:49:17.52
So these are some of the people.
00:49:18.52\00:49:19.59
They received our material.
00:49:19.75\00:49:20.86
They received the
Bible studies translated.
00:49:21.29\00:49:25.43
This is the governor.
00:49:26.33\00:49:27.66
Her name is
Delphina Garcia Reyes.
00:49:28.03\00:49:30.97
Seventh-day
Adventist by the way.
00:49:32.27\00:49:33.54
There was also this is the
mayor of the city and his name
00:49:34.37\00:49:40.04
is Luis Herrera.
00:49:40.04\00:49:41.61
He received some
3AVN material as well.
00:49:41.84\00:49:44.15
Including the COVID-19 book
translated into Spanish because
00:49:44.71\00:49:48.35
it says what's next.
00:49:48.35\00:49:49.98
It's a message that
can keep us on going.
00:49:50.65\00:49:53.02
COVID-19 is behind us they say.
00:49:53.92\00:49:56.12
It says what's next.
00:49:56.89\00:49:58.39
So that has a
relevant message still.
00:49:58.66\00:50:01.13
So it was a tremendous blessing
and we praise the Lord for the
00:50:01.83\00:50:04.97
opportunity to be a
part of spreading the gospel.
00:50:04.97\00:50:07.30
I do want to say you
mentioned the 3AVN camp meeting.
00:50:07.77\00:50:10.67
We are going to have
3AVN Spanish camp meeting.
00:50:11.14\00:50:14.58
Thank you for the opportunity.
00:50:15.08\00:50:15.84
13th through the 16th of August
for those of you that speak
00:50:16.28\00:50:20.28
Spanish you can come to both.
00:50:20.28\00:50:22.42
You speak English and Spanish.
00:50:23.52\00:50:24.72
You can come to both or tell
your friends that speak Spanish
00:50:24.82\00:50:27.76
to come 13th
through the 16th of August.
00:50:27.76\00:50:29.69
We are going to be doing
the same topics in Spanish by
00:50:29.92\00:50:33.66
Spanish speakers.
00:50:33.66\00:50:34.46
So this is a wonderful
opportunity and we praise the
00:50:34.76\00:50:37.40
Lord that it's going to be here.
00:50:37.40\00:50:39.90
At 3AVN the same thing applies.
00:50:40.10\00:50:42.34
There are RV spaces and showers.
00:50:42.54\00:50:44.71
Yes, you can
take showers here too.
00:50:44.91\00:50:46.74
We encourage it.
00:50:47.88\00:50:48.68
Please take showers.
00:50:50.11\00:50:51.38
So it's a grand opportunity.
00:50:53.08\00:50:55.28
We praise the Lord for it.
00:50:55.48\00:50:56.62
Later this year we have
volunteer speakers that are
00:50:56.92\00:51:00.59
going to go with us to Mexico
to preach from the 1st through
00:51:00.59\00:51:04.36
the 7th of August and
we encourage those that are
00:51:04.36\00:51:08.90
willing to go to contact us.
00:51:08.90\00:51:11.73
A lot going on.
00:51:13.07\00:51:17.51
it's a tremendous blessing.
00:51:17.51\00:51:19.07
By the way, we met at the
Guatemala campaign one of the
00:51:19.34\00:51:25.18
former speakers of one of
the campaigns that while he was
00:51:25.18\00:51:28.82
preaching the Lord gave him a
call, you need to be a pastor.
00:51:28.82\00:51:32.05
He was a attorney.
00:51:32.29\00:51:36.29
He was studying to be an
attorney and he decided the
00:51:36.69\00:51:39.26
Lord wants me to be a pastor
and he is now pastoring in that
00:51:39.26\00:51:42.50
school.
00:51:42.50\00:51:45.57
another church.
00:51:45.57\00:51:46.43
And this May, next month,
another one of those speakers
00:51:47.04\00:51:51.24
is graduating
to become a pastor.
00:51:51.24\00:51:54.94
That's amazing.
00:51:55.14\00:51:55.68
Thank you so much, Pastor John.
00:51:55.98\00:51:57.15
Evangelism beats strong in your
heart and we appreciate you and
00:51:57.48\00:52:00.75
Mrs. Denzi and I got to talk to
Pastor John about Palau because
00:52:00.75\00:52:04.25
we've only got
three minutes left.
00:52:04.25\00:52:05.82
You were just in Palau
too doing some evangelism.
00:52:06.19\00:52:08.19
We were just in Palau.
00:52:08.19\00:52:09.42
Which is where at?
00:52:09.42\00:52:10.49
Down in the South Pacific,
right by the Marianas Trench.
00:52:10.63\00:52:13.06
There's a strong
mission field there.
00:52:13.66\00:52:14.93
Ian was there last year.
00:52:14.96\00:52:16.03
We sent Ian and Angela.
00:52:16.36\00:52:17.30
They love you guys there.
00:52:17.50\00:52:18.53
It was a wonderful night.
00:52:19.13\00:52:21.84
That's meeting at the airport.
00:52:23.30\00:52:24.31
We got an after midnight
there in Palau and wonderful
00:52:24.44\00:52:28.18
reception.
00:52:28.18\00:52:28.88
Go to the next one here.
00:52:29.54\00:52:30.65
That's the
Queen, Balloon Gloria.
00:52:30.98\00:52:33.01
She's the Queen of the country.
00:52:33.31\00:52:34.32
She's an Adventist.
00:52:34.38\00:52:35.42
The country is
predominantly run by Adventists.
00:52:35.52\00:52:37.45
A wonderful lady.
00:52:37.45\00:52:38.62
We had 29 decisions for baptism.
00:52:39.05\00:52:40.79
34 people preparing for baptism.
00:52:41.46\00:52:43.06
3ABN is strong there.
00:52:43.26\00:52:44.73
Ian went there last year and
they did not have 3ABN and he
00:52:45.33\00:52:47.73
worked with them
and now 3ABN is on air.
00:52:47.73\00:52:49.90
That's the choir that
we had on Sabbath morning.
00:52:50.60\00:52:52.90
Most of those are
missionary teachers.
00:52:53.27\00:52:54.64
Those are the
people that sponsored it.
00:52:55.10\00:52:56.71
Eric Wipps, the Queen as well
as Glenn Sayed and the pastor
00:52:56.71\00:53:00.28
there.
00:53:00.28\00:53:00.78
Local support was phenomenal.
00:53:00.98\00:53:02.64
The Lord really blessed.
00:53:03.08\00:53:07.55
they're wanting us to come
back to do a 2 week series next
00:53:07.55\00:53:09.75
year.
00:53:09.75\00:53:12.15
Evangelism with 3ABN and they
want us to bring Ian and Angela
00:53:12.15\00:53:15.99
back too.
00:53:15.99\00:53:16.66
So maybe we'll do a sod
class there also next year.
00:53:17.29\00:53:19.83
It was a
blessing there in Palau.
00:53:20.33\00:53:21.40
That family there,
you're talking about Eric Wipps.
00:53:21.63\00:53:24.13
Yeah.
00:53:24.40\00:53:27.84
evangelism as well.
00:53:27.84\00:53:28.84
Strongly supportive.
00:53:29.10\00:53:29.74
Praise God for them.
00:53:29.97\00:53:30.84
Thank you.
00:53:30.87\00:53:31.51
Yes.
00:53:31.87\00:53:33.41
The President is at Adventist.
00:53:33.61\00:53:34.81
Almost all the
stores are run by Adventist.
00:53:35.21\00:53:36.98
It's a phenomenal
field for evangelism.
00:53:37.25\00:53:39.91
Thank you Pastor
John and Andy for going.
00:53:40.12\00:53:41.65
I just want to take
20 seconds to say this.
00:53:41.88\00:53:44.52
While we were there, Sister
Martha knows the owner of a
00:53:44.72\00:53:48.06
cable company and she has
talked to him about 3ABN before
00:53:48.06\00:53:50.79
and he said, oh no, I
don't want to be sued.
00:53:50.79\00:53:52.66
I don't want to put
them on and be sued.
00:53:52.76\00:53:54.03
She said, well, we have the
leaders of 3ABN Latino here and
00:53:54.36\00:53:58.37
we said, yes, you can put us on.
00:53:58.37\00:54:00.50
It's free.
00:54:00.84\00:54:04.61
You can put all of them out.
00:54:04.64\00:54:05.81
He says, I think we can do that.
00:54:06.07\00:54:07.71
Praise the Lord.
00:54:08.81\00:54:09.74
Another cable company.
00:54:10.41\00:54:11.11
Ian, also I think
about cable in Palau.
00:54:11.75\00:54:14.15
You were there last year.
00:54:14.32\00:54:15.55
Pastor John alluded to it.
00:54:16.25\00:54:17.52
So when I had the opportunity
to go there and do a camp
00:54:17.72\00:54:20.02
meeting last year and that's
when I found out that many of
00:54:20.02\00:54:23.69
the members asked,
how do we get 3ABN?
00:54:23.69\00:54:25.46
So I worked with Eric as well
as the cable company and Moses
00:54:26.03\00:54:29.70
and we were able to just work
it all out and now they have
00:54:29.70\00:54:32.77
3ABN on cable.
00:54:32.77\00:54:34.40
Now they want to
have 3ABN radio also.
00:54:35.90\00:54:37.77
That's wonderful.
00:54:38.74\00:54:39.54
I can't believe
our time is all gone.
00:54:39.84\00:54:41.61
Let's let Mr. Danny
and Dr. Yvonne take us out.
00:54:42.11\00:54:44.28
I was thinking the same.
00:54:44.28\00:54:45.55
We're kind of
co-hosting with you both.
00:54:47.95\00:54:49.85
But we appreciate
ministry with both of you.
00:54:52.85\00:54:55.32
I really appreciate your
mentorship always and your
00:54:55.32\00:54:58.16
heart for evangelism.
00:54:58.16\00:54:58.99
And we do.
00:54:59.13\00:54:59.69
I just love the reach of
3ABN and all that God is doing.
00:55:00.93\00:55:06.40
It's so inspiring to all of us
to hear what's going on within
00:55:07.37\00:55:11.81
this ministry and we
can't do it without you.
00:55:11.81\00:55:14.44
So thank you so very much
for your prayers and support to
00:55:14.61\00:55:18.58
take the gospel of the kingdom,
to take the gospel of Jesus
00:55:18.58\00:55:21.72
Christ to the world.
00:55:21.72\00:55:23.52
We thank you so much, babe.
00:55:23.89\00:55:25.29
Absolutely, and
remember God has a plan for you.
00:55:25.59\00:55:28.39
When Jesus was hanging on
the cross you were on his mind.
00:55:28.59\00:55:31.53
It's amazing that he gives us
the opportunity to be witnesses
00:55:31.89\00:55:35.90
into all the world.
00:55:35.90\00:55:37.30
As Jill said, we
can't believe it.
00:55:38.20\00:55:39.57
Our time is all gone for today.
00:55:39.57\00:55:39.60
But until we see you next time,
may the Lord richly bless you
00:55:41.60\00:55:45.04
abundantly more than
you could ever ask or think.
00:55:45.04\00:55:47.68
Amen.
00:55:47.68\00:55:48.18
