I want to spend my life
00:00:02.23\00:00:08.30
Mending broken people
00:00:08.34\00:00:13.21
I want to spend my life
00:00:13.24\00:00:19.45
Removing pain
00:00:19.48\00:00:24.35
Lord, let my words
00:00:24.39\00:00:30.49
Heal a heart that hurts
00:00:30.53\00:00:35.13
I want to spend my life
00:00:35.16\00:00:40.80
Mending broken people
00:00:40.84\00:00:46.27
I want to spend my life
00:00:46.31\00:00:51.91
Mending broken people
00:00:51.95\00:00:58.22
Hello and welcome.
00:01:08.40\00:01:09.73
Thank you for joining us today.
00:01:09.76\00:01:11.33
What a beautiful fall day
here in Southern Illinois.
00:01:11.37\00:01:14.60
And I have brought you
to the Uplink's facility,
00:01:14.64\00:01:18.17
that's what we call it.
00:01:18.21\00:01:19.54
It's our original Three
Angels Broadcasting Network.
00:01:19.57\00:01:22.68
Now, for those of you
00:01:22.71\00:01:24.05
that are
watching around the world
00:01:24.08\00:01:25.98
and you say, I
wonder how 3ABN started,
00:01:26.01\00:01:28.55
if you ever thought of that,
00:01:28.58\00:01:29.92
if you haven't, you're
looking at it right there,
00:01:29.95\00:01:32.39
this little
building right behind me
00:01:32.42\00:01:34.59
was when we first went
on the air in about 1986.
00:01:34.62\00:01:38.86
We had this huge satellite dish,
00:01:38.89\00:01:41.86
almost 10 meters, nearly 30 feet
00:01:41.90\00:01:44.17
I guess in diameter.
00:01:44.20\00:01:45.80
There's one little building
00:01:45.83\00:01:47.40
and we had little bit
of equipment in there,
00:01:47.44\00:01:49.80
one little switcher.
00:01:49.84\00:01:51.17
Out engineer
Clarence Larson said,
00:01:51.21\00:01:54.18
"We're ready to take
this thing up to satellite."
00:01:54.21\00:01:56.71
Well, we didn't know
00:01:56.75\00:01:58.08
how many
satellites were up there,
00:01:58.11\00:01:59.45
but we negotiated,
got on a satellite,
00:01:59.48\00:02:02.28
didn't advertise, simply
when we flipped the switch,
00:02:02.32\00:02:06.05
it went to satellite,
00:02:06.09\00:02:07.42
he was able to
put a little crawl
00:02:07.46\00:02:09.06
that go across the screen
00:02:09.09\00:02:10.43
and say for free
offer call 1800-752-3226.
00:02:10.46\00:02:15.50
And people began
to call immediately.
00:02:15.53\00:02:17.90
So we couldn't hardly hear,
00:02:17.93\00:02:19.47
there is a transmitter
inside that little shack.
00:02:19.50\00:02:22.17
So I opened the door,
have the phone line outside,
00:02:22.20\00:02:25.27
Three Angels
Broadcasting Network.
00:02:25.31\00:02:27.24
Yes, I was watching your program
00:02:27.28\00:02:29.18
and saw the free offer.
00:02:29.21\00:02:30.75
From that day to
this, 31 years later,
00:02:30.78\00:02:33.42
the phones have been busy,
00:02:33.45\00:02:34.78
constantly people
calling from around the world.
00:02:34.82\00:02:37.89
What an amazing ministry
00:02:37.92\00:02:39.95
that God has
allowed me to be a part of.
00:02:39.99\00:02:41.69
God has blessed this
ministry in spite of me
00:02:41.72\00:02:43.89
and all the rest of us as
we are frail human agents.
00:02:43.93\00:02:47.16
But I want to thank you
for your love and your prayers
00:02:47.20\00:02:49.50
and financial support of 3ABN.
00:02:49.53\00:02:51.97
Thank you for
joining us for anniversary,
00:02:52.00\00:02:54.94
31st anniversary of 3ABN.
00:02:54.97\00:02:57.77
And so we're
going to do something
00:02:57.81\00:02:59.14
we've never done
before in this capacity.
00:02:59.17\00:03:02.28
We're going to tour here to
all the different facilities
00:03:02.31\00:03:05.25
all the different
production centers,
00:03:05.28\00:03:07.28
our worship
centre, our sound centers
00:03:07.32\00:03:09.58
and all the
studios, Kids' Time network.
00:03:09.62\00:03:12.59
I mean the schools,
everything, it's sure 3ABN,
00:03:12.62\00:03:15.59
so we decided, you know what?
00:03:15.62\00:03:17.36
Let's take this fall,
let's take this anniversary
00:03:17.39\00:03:20.13
and just share
it with all of you
00:03:20.16\00:03:21.90
from around the world.
00:03:21.93\00:03:23.26
Once again, thank you
for your love, your prayers,
00:03:23.30\00:03:25.30
financial support of 3ABN.
00:03:25.33\00:03:27.60
We started here
00:03:27.64\00:03:28.97
because this is
where it all started.
00:03:29.00\00:03:30.47
Literally we had the big
production facility here.
00:03:30.51\00:03:33.01
My brothers and I
built it with our own hands.
00:03:33.04\00:03:35.14
We didn't have the money.
00:03:35.18\00:03:36.51
We didn't have money in advance,
00:03:36.54\00:03:37.88
we started, got
money for the road,
00:03:37.91\00:03:39.81
money for the footings.
00:03:39.85\00:03:41.58
Money continue to
come in slow but sure.
00:03:41.62\00:03:44.62
We never ran out of money.
00:03:44.65\00:03:46.22
But I remember we used to
literally buy diesel fuel,
00:03:46.25\00:03:49.22
five gallons at a time to run
the dozer that we had rented.
00:03:49.26\00:03:52.99
And to built the roads
00:03:53.03\00:03:54.63
and to dig the
footings in the back.
00:03:54.66\00:03:56.67
And, so the rest is history.
00:03:56.70\00:03:59.30
It has grown into a worldwide
ministry, thanks to you.
00:03:59.33\00:04:02.77
And technology has changed.
00:04:02.80\00:04:04.41
They used to, can get us
00:04:04.44\00:04:05.77
through this big
dishes in the yard.
00:04:05.81\00:04:07.41
People had dishes this
size 12-14 foot dishes.
00:04:07.44\00:04:10.78
The only way you can
get us was to receive us,
00:04:10.81\00:04:13.28
but people said, well,
you can get the signal up,
00:04:13.31\00:04:15.28
you can't-- how you're
going to get it to the homes.
00:04:15.32\00:04:17.39
Well, we got it into the
homes through these dishes.
00:04:17.42\00:04:19.82
There were about a
million, later 5 or 6 million.
00:04:19.85\00:04:22.56
But then,
technology began to change,
00:04:22.59\00:04:24.56
it's still changing
and it's changing rapidly.
00:04:24.59\00:04:27.53
So from that dish right there
00:04:27.56\00:04:29.93
which is the
first way to get 3ABN,
00:04:29.96\00:04:31.60
now you can get
us on your phone,
00:04:31.63\00:04:33.27
your iPads, you
can get it on your
00:04:33.30\00:04:36.47
whether it's an
android, an apple phone,
00:04:36.50\00:04:38.11
whatever you got, smart phone.
00:04:38.14\00:04:39.87
You literally can
download a 3ABN app,
00:04:39.91\00:04:42.54
get all six or seven networks
24/7 anywhere in the world.
00:04:42.58\00:04:46.75
It's amazing.
00:04:46.78\00:04:48.12
You can get a
little box called Roku box
00:04:48.15\00:04:50.69
or my SDA TV with all
the Adventist channels.
00:04:50.72\00:04:53.86
Plug it into your
literally into the internet
00:04:53.89\00:04:57.86
at your house, plug
it into your television,
00:04:57.89\00:05:00.03
if you got a 50 inch
screen or 70 inch screen,
00:05:00.06\00:05:02.80
watch 3ABN all the channels
00:05:02.83\00:05:05.13
and do it for under
$100, I mean it's amazing.
00:05:05.17\00:05:08.17
Jesus is serious
about coming back,
00:05:08.20\00:05:10.21
and He has provided technology
beyond our wildest dreams.
00:05:10.24\00:05:14.24
In the last 30 years
00:05:14.28\00:05:15.61
when we started, I had no idea
00:05:15.64\00:05:17.45
where this would go
before Jesus comes back
00:05:17.48\00:05:20.08
in the clouds of glory,
00:05:20.12\00:05:21.45
so I'm thankful again
for you and for what you do.
00:05:21.48\00:05:24.75
And I remember coming here
00:05:24.79\00:05:26.12
and had particular
story about this big dish.
00:05:26.15\00:05:28.39
And one night
Rick Odle was here.
00:05:28.42\00:05:30.59
He was running master control,
00:05:30.63\00:05:33.19
and he said
someone beat on the door
00:05:33.23\00:05:35.56
and banged on the door.
00:05:35.60\00:05:36.93
There was the guy
that was so angry,
00:05:36.97\00:05:38.67
because he said, my mother
has been watching your station,
00:05:38.70\00:05:41.87
she is changing,
her life is changing,
00:05:41.90\00:05:44.47
everything is changing,
her cooking is changing,
00:05:44.51\00:05:47.41
everything, and
he didn't like it.
00:05:47.44\00:05:49.31
So he said, I'm going
to go shut that place,
00:05:49.34\00:05:51.35
I'm gonna knock it off the air.
00:05:51.38\00:05:52.71
You know, what he did?
00:05:52.75\00:05:54.08
He drove his truck out here
00:05:54.12\00:05:55.45
and he tried to run
into this big satellite dish.
00:05:55.48\00:05:58.95
He said, "I came
here to try to destroy
00:05:58.99\00:06:01.66
and put you off the air,
00:06:01.69\00:06:03.02
but every time I got
within 10 or 15 feet,
00:06:03.06\00:06:05.69
it's like I hit the brick wall."
00:06:05.73\00:06:07.30
So he said, "I
tried it three times
00:06:07.33\00:06:10.23
and I give up, God must
be protecting this place,
00:06:10.27\00:06:14.47
can you pray with me."
00:06:14.50\00:06:15.84
So Rick Odle
literally prayed with him,
00:06:15.87\00:06:17.57
led him to the Lord.
00:06:17.61\00:06:18.94
And that's just one
of the miracle stories,
00:06:18.97\00:06:20.84
and that's one of the
early ones in the beginning.
00:06:20.88\00:06:22.68
But every now and then,
00:06:22.71\00:06:24.41
I come back out
here to the Uplink,
00:06:24.45\00:06:25.78
we still use it.
00:06:25.81\00:06:27.15
We gonna go in just a moment.
00:06:27.18\00:06:28.52
We do, we'll show
you some programming
00:06:28.55\00:06:30.45
from Dare to Dream.
00:06:30.49\00:06:31.99
And then we have Jay
Christian in the 3ABN Radio,
00:06:32.02\00:06:34.76
so we still use the facilities.
00:06:34.79\00:06:36.52
We don't use the
big dish anymore.
00:06:36.56\00:06:38.49
It's here and it's a
reminder that what God starts,
00:06:38.53\00:06:42.26
He finishes.
00:06:42.30\00:06:43.63
So once again, this
gonna be a great program,
00:06:43.67\00:06:45.97
call your friends,
your enemies, everybody,
00:06:46.00\00:06:47.70
tell them, tune into 3ABN,
00:06:47.74\00:06:49.10
because we're gonna
tour the entire facilities
00:06:49.14\00:06:52.17
of your Three Angels
Broadcasting Network.
00:06:52.21\00:06:54.74
Let's go inside.
00:06:54.78\00:06:57.11
Thanks, Danny, and
welcome to Studio E.
00:06:57.15\00:07:00.38
This is Studio E,
but I call it the Uplink,
00:07:00.42\00:07:03.85
I can't get pass that,
00:07:03.89\00:07:05.22
because this was
the very first studio
00:07:05.25\00:07:07.39
that 3ABN built.
00:07:07.42\00:07:09.26
So we gonna take
you one a little tour.
00:07:09.29\00:07:11.23
Come with me.
00:07:11.26\00:07:14.83
We gonna first take
you to the makeup room.
00:07:14.86\00:07:20.60
And of course, normally
you don't wear a lot of makeup,
00:07:20.64\00:07:24.01
but here you have to wear
some because on television
00:07:24.04\00:07:26.61
you get truly washed out
if you don't wear makeup,
00:07:26.64\00:07:29.48
Tammy is working on our
host Pastor John Coaxum.
00:07:29.51\00:07:34.02
Now, we're gonna go
into our control room
00:07:34.05\00:07:36.75
and let you see
what goes on in here.
00:07:36.79\00:07:39.99
Lots of
geniuses at work in here.
00:07:40.02\00:07:47.13
This is our
director Ryan St. Hillaire.
00:07:48.56\00:07:55.24
And that's our
video graphics person
00:07:55.27\00:07:57.47
and he is also the director
Curtis Hy and Jason Bradley,
00:07:57.51\00:08:01.84
who is my assistant
with Dare to Dream/son
00:08:01.88\00:08:07.22
so he better act right.
00:08:07.25\00:08:11.95
Jay, tell us what
we're doing today?
00:08:11.99\00:08:14.29
Well, God has blessed us
with some tremendous programs
00:08:14.32\00:08:17.06
and today we are filming a
program called Cutting Loose
00:08:17.09\00:08:19.89
which takes place on
the set of a barber shop.
00:08:19.93\00:08:22.10
Come check it out.
00:08:22.13\00:08:25.27
Hi, Jeff. Jeff's our audio guy.
00:08:25.30\00:08:28.40
This is exciting,
00:08:28.44\00:08:29.77
because we're
actually taping something
00:08:29.80\00:08:32.61
and you guys came in
just at the right time.
00:08:32.64\00:08:35.28
We're taping a new program
and it's for men only actually,
00:08:35.31\00:08:39.58
Jay tell them a
little bit about it?
00:08:39.61\00:08:41.18
Well, the great
thing about this program
00:08:41.22\00:08:43.08
is it takes place
in the barber shop.
00:08:43.12\00:08:44.69
Now, when you go to
your local barber shop,
00:08:44.72\00:08:47.72
you notice the
discussion is on worldly things
00:08:47.76\00:08:50.76
from a worldly perspective,
00:08:50.79\00:08:52.63
but here on the
set of Cutting Loose,
00:08:52.66\00:08:54.53
we are discussing issues
from a spiritual perspective
00:08:54.56\00:08:57.77
which is so much better than
what the world has to offer.
00:08:57.80\00:09:01.20
And this barbet shop
actually looks very authentic.
00:09:01.24\00:09:05.97
So make sure that you tune
in and check out this program
00:09:06.01\00:09:09.68
and the other
programs on Dare to Dream.
00:09:09.71\00:09:12.18
Now, we're gonna
take you to Jay Christian
00:09:12.21\00:09:14.52
who is the general
manager of 3ABN Radio.
00:09:14.55\00:09:18.39
Thank you, Yvonne.
Yes, we are at 3ABN Radio.
00:09:18.42\00:09:21.22
Right now we're in the lobby.
00:09:21.26\00:09:23.09
And if you would
come into to visit,
00:09:23.12\00:09:25.09
you come in
through the door over there
00:09:25.13\00:09:27.00
and this is where
Nikki Anderson would sit.
00:09:27.03\00:09:29.93
She is back
recording the program.
00:09:29.96\00:09:31.33
We'll see her in a
couple of minutes or so.
00:09:31.37\00:09:33.54
But in the mean time,
this is our reception area,
00:09:33.57\00:09:37.14
people come in
to visit from here
00:09:37.17\00:09:38.51
and disperse
throughout the building
00:09:38.54\00:09:39.87
wherever they need to go,
00:09:39.91\00:09:41.61
to whatever
department they're going to.
00:09:41.64\00:09:43.75
But now, they are recording
00:09:43.78\00:09:46.28
and are getting ready
to record a radio program.
00:09:46.31\00:09:49.38
Okay, and here we are
in the recording studio now
00:09:49.42\00:09:52.55
or actually this is
the control room area.
00:09:52.59\00:09:55.29
We have Angela
Lomacang who is working.
00:09:55.32\00:09:58.29
And Angela is the
production assistant
00:09:58.33\00:10:00.93
and she records program.
00:10:00.96\00:10:03.26
She has her own program
on the radio too by the way,
00:10:03.30\00:10:05.97
Crossroads on 3ABN
Radio, I'm sure you've heard it.
00:10:06.00\00:10:09.10
But she is getting ready
to record a program called
00:10:09.14\00:10:12.77
Focus on Healthy Foods.
00:10:12.81\00:10:14.28
The host in the
back is Nikki Anderson
00:10:14.31\00:10:16.61
and she has a
couple of guests with her,
00:10:16.64\00:10:18.21
so they're preparing
getting ready to record.
00:10:18.25\00:10:20.95
And we also have
working for us at 3ABN Radio,
00:10:20.98\00:10:23.79
we have Mike Babb
who is the engineer
00:10:23.82\00:10:26.45
and he does a lot.
00:10:26.49\00:10:28.32
Yes, engineers
solder wires together
00:10:28.36\00:10:30.33
and he does that.
00:10:30.36\00:10:31.69
But he does a
lot more than that.
00:10:31.73\00:10:33.06
He finds systems
for us, equipment,
00:10:33.09\00:10:35.96
he repairs and he
keeps it in good shape.
00:10:36.00\00:10:37.80
He works with our affiliates.
00:10:37.83\00:10:39.40
We also have Kevin Poling.
00:10:39.43\00:10:42.84
Kevin is a
production assistant also
00:10:42.87\00:10:44.91
and he records programs,
00:10:44.94\00:10:47.08
he head the system
for being on the air.
00:10:47.11\00:10:49.24
He also records CDs for people
who want to have audio programs
00:10:49.28\00:10:54.38
of either 3ABN Radio
programs or TV programs.
00:10:54.42\00:10:58.25
And for me, my responsibility
is to hold everybody together,
00:10:58.29\00:11:01.72
so I have my own
musical meditations program
00:11:01.76\00:11:04.79
that airs on 3ABN Radio.
00:11:04.83\00:11:06.93
And also, I am
production director,
00:11:06.96\00:11:11.30
so I do a lot of production,
recording and editing programs.
00:11:11.33\00:11:15.57
And on top of that,
I'm general manager.
00:11:15.60\00:11:17.44
With this people it's a breeze,
00:11:17.47\00:11:19.61
it's wonderful
working with them.
00:11:19.64\00:11:21.41
And now let's
continue our tourist.
00:11:21.44\00:11:23.31
Let's go to Danny. Danny to you.
00:11:23.35\00:11:25.95
Well, my dad used
to say time is money.
00:11:25.98\00:11:28.28
I hope you've
enjoyed that little tour.
00:11:28.32\00:11:30.05
So I want you to go with me.
00:11:30.09\00:11:31.42
I'm gonna get in the
truck and we're gonna head over
00:11:31.45\00:11:33.36
and see some of
the other properties,
00:11:33.39\00:11:34.82
and some of the other facilities
00:11:34.86\00:11:36.66
of your Three Angels
Broadcasting Network.
00:11:36.69\00:11:43.57
Okay, we're gonna head over
to the rest of the facilities
00:11:46.94\00:11:51.24
and to see the
ministry out on highway 149.
00:11:51.27\00:11:55.18
But before we get there,
we're coming down the road,
00:11:55.21\00:11:57.98
of course to the Uplink.
00:11:58.01\00:11:59.61
And I'll never forget
00:11:59.65\00:12:00.98
when Clarence Larson
and I came out one night
00:12:01.02\00:12:03.95
because in the very
beginning he told me,
00:12:03.99\00:12:06.69
you know, I
think you can do this.
00:12:06.72\00:12:09.12
And then one night he called me,
00:12:09.16\00:12:10.49
oh, I've made a
terrible mistake.
00:12:10.53\00:12:12.39
This takes three-phase power
00:12:12.43\00:12:14.03
and there is no
three-phase power
00:12:14.06\00:12:15.96
on this property.
00:12:16.00\00:12:17.67
And I'm sure there
isn't because there's only
00:12:17.70\00:12:19.67
a few farmhouses,
nothing industrial,
00:12:19.70\00:12:22.54
so I said, Clarence,
don't worry about it.
00:12:22.57\00:12:24.47
Either, God has
three-phase power there
00:12:24.51\00:12:26.98
or he's got somebody
00:12:27.01\00:12:28.34
who'll provide
the finances for it.
00:12:28.38\00:12:30.95
So he said, it's 9 o'clock
probably at night or later.
00:12:30.98\00:12:34.12
You mind if we go
out there tonight.
00:12:34.15\00:12:35.95
So I remember
driving down this road
00:12:35.98\00:12:38.49
and as we come all
the way down the road,
00:12:38.52\00:12:41.62
no, no three-phase power.
00:12:41.66\00:12:43.63
Then when he turned on the
road right here where we are,
00:12:43.66\00:12:46.39
and now we named
this, actually it's called,
00:12:46.43\00:12:48.46
we call it Miracle Lane.
00:12:48.50\00:12:49.96
But as we drove
in to this property,
00:12:50.00\00:12:52.30
his flashlight shines up
00:12:52.33\00:12:53.90
and he goes, I can't believe it,
00:12:53.94\00:12:55.77
there is three-phase power.
00:12:55.80\00:12:57.44
God had put it way in advance
00:12:57.47\00:12:59.97
and all we had to do is run
it from this road back behind us
00:13:00.01\00:13:02.88
to where I just
came from, the Uplink.
00:13:02.91\00:13:04.78
So this is the
beginning of 3ABN.
00:13:04.81\00:13:07.68
Every step we took, I
knew that God was in charge
00:13:07.72\00:13:10.89
because He was doing
things we couldn't do.
00:13:10.92\00:13:13.19
So I think this lane is
00:13:13.22\00:13:14.62
appropriately
named Miracle Lane.
00:13:14.66\00:13:19.19
Okay, now we are
out on highway 34
00:13:19.23\00:13:22.26
and we're just
getting ready to turn
00:13:22.30\00:13:24.17
into our property on Angel Lane,
00:13:24.20\00:13:27.10
appropriately named
00:13:27.14\00:13:28.50
after Three Angels
Broadcasting Network.
00:13:28.54\00:13:31.24
And it's really neat,
every time I drive by here
00:13:31.27\00:13:34.08
and I say look
what God has brought.
00:13:34.11\00:13:36.28
And again, I just want to
take this time to say thank you
00:13:36.31\00:13:39.15
for your love and your prayers
00:13:39.18\00:13:40.52
and financial support of 3ABN
00:13:40.55\00:13:42.78
for all of these years.
00:13:42.82\00:13:45.05
That's used to be a tractor
supply building right here
00:13:45.09\00:13:49.22
and we ended up buying it.
00:13:49.26\00:13:51.36
Now, it says
Thompsonville Christian Academy.
00:13:51.39\00:13:54.16
But right now why
don't we go into the school
00:13:54.20\00:13:56.56
and visit with them
for just a few minutes.
00:13:56.60\00:13:59.67
Hello I'm Norah Hartison,
00:13:59.70\00:14:01.37
this is
Thompsonville Christian Academy.
00:14:01.40\00:14:03.14
We're a junior academy.
00:14:03.17\00:14:04.71
We have 11 students in our class
00:14:04.74\00:14:06.44
and we offer grades
between 7 through 10.
00:14:06.47\00:14:09.58
What I really
like about the school
00:14:09.61\00:14:11.21
is that you can learn to
develop your musical talents
00:14:11.25\00:14:13.55
and learn more about that.
00:14:13.58\00:14:15.02
Thank you for joining us
00:14:15.05\00:14:16.48
and enjoy the rest of your tour.
00:14:16.52\00:14:18.19
Bye.
00:14:18.22\00:14:19.55
Hi, especially
want to thank Miss Haney
00:14:19.59\00:14:21.09
for the tremendous job
00:14:21.12\00:14:22.66
she's doing with
these young people.
00:14:22.69\00:14:24.03
I love going into school,
seeing all the instruments
00:14:24.06\00:14:26.90
and the kids, not
only the hard they do
00:14:26.93\00:14:29.16
and the education
they're receiving,
00:14:29.20\00:14:31.30
but their spiritual
education, the instruments,
00:14:31.33\00:14:34.04
playing music
and the camaraderie
00:14:34.07\00:14:36.40
with this young folk.
00:14:36.44\00:14:37.77
Man, I just praise the
Lord that He has given us
00:14:37.81\00:14:39.64
the school and
this education system.
00:14:39.67\00:14:42.44
We'll go down and see
the other school in a moment,
00:14:42.48\00:14:45.51
but right now we're
gonna go visit Planned Services
00:14:45.55\00:14:49.08
and our Trust
Department with Roy Hunt.
00:14:49.12\00:14:52.42
Thanks, Danny.
00:14:52.45\00:14:54.22
Earlenne and I have
been here five years.
00:14:54.26\00:14:56.93
Time goes by so fast.
00:14:56.96\00:14:59.26
We're part of the Planned Giving
00:14:59.29\00:15:00.93
and Trust Services Department.
00:15:00.96\00:15:03.06
I'm the director
of Planned Giving
00:15:03.10\00:15:04.67
and Trust Services.
00:15:04.70\00:15:06.03
My wife Earlenne
is our trust officer
00:15:06.07\00:15:09.14
and office manager.
00:15:09.17\00:15:11.21
The Planned Giving
office has a lot to do
00:15:11.24\00:15:13.68
with bringing
funds into this ministry.
00:15:13.71\00:15:16.28
And over the years,
00:15:16.31\00:15:17.65
we have been a vital
part of fund raising.
00:15:17.68\00:15:21.72
We have a fabulous
staff of four people
00:15:21.75\00:15:24.75
and I'd like you to
meet them right now.
00:15:24.79\00:15:26.65
Let us go on in here
00:15:26.69\00:15:28.02
and see if Nancy
is in her office.
00:15:28.06\00:15:30.56
She may be on the phone
talking with one of our clients.
00:15:30.59\00:15:34.56
No, she is actually
writing-- good information down.
00:15:34.60\00:15:38.87
This is Nancy.
Nancy, turn around here.
00:15:38.90\00:15:41.67
She is a bit bashful,
00:15:41.70\00:15:43.04
but if you want to
talk to her on the phone,
00:15:43.07\00:15:45.34
you just call and ask for
Nancy and she can help you.
00:15:45.37\00:15:48.28
She is a trust officer
and her husband is Joe O'Brien
00:15:48.31\00:15:53.21
who is in our
pastoral department.
00:15:53.25\00:15:55.65
And we love family here,
we're all family at 3ABN.
00:15:55.68\00:15:59.99
And let's go down the
hall and once you know it,
00:16:00.02\00:16:04.93
here is Earlenne.
00:16:04.96\00:16:06.29
This is where
Earlenne, her office is,
00:16:06.33\00:16:09.96
her duties are of
the office management
00:16:10.00\00:16:13.74
and as a trust officer.
00:16:13.77\00:16:15.37
And I always promise people
00:16:15.40\00:16:17.21
but if I wave,
I'm waving at you.
00:16:17.24\00:16:21.51
Okay. Well,
let's continue on down.
00:16:21.54\00:16:24.91
We do have a room that we use
for seminars for camp meeting,
00:16:24.95\00:16:29.12
if people want
to know more about
00:16:29.15\00:16:31.59
Planned Giving
and Trust Services,
00:16:31.62\00:16:33.32
we do offer a seminar
during our camp meeting time.
00:16:33.36\00:16:36.42
And who do have
here? Delera Babb.
00:16:36.46\00:16:41.26
Delara, she has
already waved at the camera.
00:16:41.30\00:16:44.83
She is part of our family.
00:16:44.87\00:16:46.33
She is a trust assistant
00:16:46.37\00:16:48.57
and has been here
for couple of years.
00:16:48.60\00:16:51.17
Her husband is
also part of radio
00:16:51.21\00:16:53.48
and part of the 3ABN family.
00:16:53.51\00:16:55.78
And we're glad to have
Delera part of our team.
00:16:55.81\00:17:00.25
Okay, I believe
we've got one more here.
00:17:00.28\00:17:04.12
Last but not least. Look here.
00:17:04.15\00:17:08.26
We have Dianne Hamilton
and she is a trust assistant
00:17:08.29\00:17:13.43
and she works very diligently
00:17:13.46\00:17:15.33
on making sure our
documents are accurate.
00:17:15.36\00:17:18.23
We appreciate Dianne in
every thing that she does
00:17:18.27\00:17:21.60
and her husband is
part of the family.
00:17:21.64\00:17:24.11
He is the chief
financial officer of 3ABN.
00:17:24.14\00:17:28.11
And we're glad
to have both of them
00:17:28.14\00:17:29.48
as part of our team.
00:17:29.51\00:17:31.68
Okay, thank you, Roy.
00:17:31.71\00:17:33.21
And now, what a
great report from that.
00:17:33.25\00:17:35.18
I thank all of you who
are giving and supporting.
00:17:35.22\00:17:38.15
Without you, I'm telling
you, 3ABN would only be a dream.
00:17:38.19\00:17:42.22
So please to continue to support
00:17:42.26\00:17:44.36
Three Angels
Broadcasting Network.
00:17:44.39\00:17:46.16
We have such
beautiful facilities
00:17:46.19\00:17:47.66
here on the property.
00:17:47.70\00:17:49.03
God put us right
where He wanted us to,
00:17:49.06\00:17:50.77
because the
property here, I bought this,
00:17:50.80\00:17:53.03
it's about 100
and I think 110 acres,
00:17:53.07\00:17:57.74
120 acres something like that
00:17:57.77\00:18:02.51
way back in-- quite--
00:18:02.54\00:18:04.31
I don't even know
how many years ago.
00:18:04.35\00:18:06.25
But how many places can you
go and such beautiful facilities
00:18:06.28\00:18:10.82
and buy property that cheaply.
00:18:10.85\00:18:12.75
Over here, we
have our apartments.
00:18:12.79\00:18:14.49
This is our guest housing,
00:18:14.52\00:18:15.86
so when all of
our speakers come,
00:18:15.89\00:18:17.76
our musicians and people,
the teachers that come here,
00:18:17.79\00:18:20.70
they need a place to relax,
00:18:20.73\00:18:23.03
and there's not very,
many hotels very close around.
00:18:23.06\00:18:26.03
So probably 15-20 years ago,
we built this facility here,
00:18:26.07\00:18:31.01
so now we have all of our guest
00:18:31.04\00:18:33.14
and they can come
and enjoy themselves.
00:18:33.17\00:18:35.58
And people like it
better than hotels.
00:18:35.61\00:18:37.65
They say, hey, we get to,
00:18:37.68\00:18:39.31
you know, come
and enjoy ourselves
00:18:39.35\00:18:40.82
and we're out nature,
00:18:40.85\00:18:42.35
they can take walks up and down.
00:18:42.38\00:18:43.72
Look at Angel Lane.
00:18:43.75\00:18:45.09
What a beautiful
place that it is.
00:18:45.12\00:18:46.76
Over here in just a moment,
00:18:46.79\00:18:48.12
I will show you we
have a beautiful pond.
00:18:48.16\00:18:49.86
I wonder if I
can go off the road,
00:18:49.89\00:18:51.23
probably no one would care,
00:18:51.26\00:18:53.29
so we're gonna go off
the road for just a minute
00:18:53.33\00:18:55.86
and drive you over here
and look at out little pond.
00:18:55.90\00:18:59.13
It's a actually a little lake.
00:18:59.17\00:19:00.70
We call it a pond,
00:19:00.74\00:19:02.07
but it's just such a
beautiful place to get around.
00:19:02.10\00:19:05.21
Wow, we're right
out in the middle
00:19:05.24\00:19:06.57
and you're in the
middle of nowhere right here,
00:19:06.61\00:19:08.64
but I enjoy myself.
00:19:08.68\00:19:10.01
I have to admit
00:19:10.05\00:19:11.38
I brought my fishing
pole over here sometimes.
00:19:11.41\00:19:13.72
I haven't got to recently
but what a beautiful place,
00:19:13.75\00:19:17.15
you can just come and sit down,
00:19:17.19\00:19:19.12
you can pray, you can
just talk to the Lord.
00:19:19.15\00:19:21.62
And look at this behind us here,
00:19:21.66\00:19:23.02
how beautiful this
is in several acres
00:19:23.06\00:19:25.39
and then we
bought this facility.
00:19:25.43\00:19:27.53
We actually bought this property
00:19:27.56\00:19:28.90
70 acres or so 75
00:19:28.93\00:19:30.87
and then we purchased
the other side over there,
00:19:30.90\00:19:33.77
another 28 or 30
acres, joined it together.
00:19:33.80\00:19:36.94
But this is Angel Lane,
00:19:36.97\00:19:38.54
and we're getting ready
to come up to the church
00:19:38.57\00:19:40.68
and 3ABN Worship Centre.
00:19:40.71\00:19:42.98
And also I'm going back through,
00:19:43.01\00:19:44.38
we're jarring here little
but because I'm just out here
00:19:44.41\00:19:46.98
and that's why I like
having a four wheel drive truck.
00:19:47.02\00:19:49.95
I have probably driven a
truck most of my adult life
00:19:49.98\00:19:53.12
and enjoy, so you can
do things just like this.
00:19:53.15\00:19:56.32
Okay, no fishing today,
we're just looking, okay.
00:19:56.36\00:19:59.76
But thank you, Lord,
for a beautiful place
00:19:59.79\00:20:02.16
and the property at
such an expensive prices,
00:20:02.20\00:20:05.10
and we're getting
ready to come up here
00:20:05.13\00:20:06.63
on this side on the left side,
00:20:06.67\00:20:09.30
you'll see the
main school facilities.
00:20:09.34\00:20:12.17
We're gonna go in
and get a little tour.
00:20:12.21\00:20:14.18
I'll have
somebody to tour us around.
00:20:14.21\00:20:16.31
And then we're gonna come out
00:20:16.34\00:20:18.08
and come over to
the Worship Centre
00:20:18.11\00:20:19.85
into the Kids' Time set
00:20:19.88\00:20:22.08
which is directly
across the street.
00:20:22.12\00:20:24.29
Let's go in and
take a little tour,
00:20:24.32\00:20:25.65
you want to?
00:20:25.69\00:20:27.02
Hello, welcome to
Thompsonville Christian School,
00:20:27.06\00:20:29.12
I'm Megan Karen
and I'm the teacher
00:20:29.16\00:20:31.09
of the grades 1 through 6.
00:20:31.13\00:20:32.76
In our school
building we have a library,
00:20:32.79\00:20:35.76
fully functional kitchen
00:20:35.80\00:20:37.50
and a gym, plus an
outside playground.
00:20:37.53\00:20:41.10
Let's go into the
classroom to go see the kids.
00:20:41.14\00:20:44.21
Right now we're
working on a journal
00:20:44.24\00:20:46.04
and we're writing
about all the things
00:20:46.07\00:20:48.24
that we can do to help others.
00:20:48.28\00:20:50.98
We have around 15
students this year
00:20:51.01\00:20:53.92
in grades 1 through 6.
00:20:53.95\00:20:55.28
We have at least two
students for every grade
00:20:55.32\00:20:57.22
except for my fifth
grade class which has five.
00:20:57.25\00:21:00.22
I also have a wonderful
teacher today Miss Courton,
00:21:00.26\00:21:03.89
and together we tackle
the day one smile at a time.
00:21:03.93\00:21:08.43
Thank you so much for
joining my class today.
00:21:08.46\00:21:11.97
Everyone, do we
mind saying goodbye.
00:21:12.00\00:21:14.00
Goodbye.
00:21:14.04\00:21:16.34
I love it, don't you
seeing all those young people.
00:21:16.37\00:21:18.87
I've seen so many
young people over the years.
00:21:18.91\00:21:21.38
Now, many of
them are in ministry.
00:21:21.41\00:21:22.81
Some of them work here at 3ABN,
00:21:22.84\00:21:24.61
a number of them do and
say climbing up the ladder.
00:21:24.65\00:21:28.68
We started running cameras
and getting into equipment.
00:21:28.72\00:21:32.79
Now, we have
people like Jonathan Babb
00:21:32.82\00:21:34.66
who you'll meet pretty soon
00:21:34.69\00:21:36.16
is literally in charge
of the whole call center.
00:21:36.19\00:21:39.49
And it's really neat to
see these young people get up
00:21:39.53\00:21:42.20
and then get
involved in ministry.
00:21:42.23\00:21:44.07
What I'm doing
is, I'm driving you
00:21:44.10\00:21:45.43
around the school right now,
00:21:45.47\00:21:47.04
because I'm taking you
over here so you can see.
00:21:47.07\00:21:49.47
We have a lot of hookups.
00:21:49.50\00:21:50.84
So I think 66 for your
campers and your motor homes
00:21:50.87\00:21:54.54
when you come to camp meeting.
00:21:54.58\00:21:56.31
And so we encourage you to
come and spend time this spring.
00:21:56.34\00:21:59.11
I think next June we'll be
doing our spring camp meeting
00:21:59.15\00:22:02.98
that you can come
and enjoy yourself
00:22:03.02\00:22:04.65
and just feel like
you're close to God.
00:22:04.69\00:22:06.96
We got to go into
the Worship Centre.
00:22:06.99\00:22:09.16
And I think we'll
start at the backend first
00:22:09.19\00:22:11.36
because I think
Brenda Walsh is here taping.
00:22:11.39\00:22:14.33
We have our Kids' Time
kids network studios here,
00:22:14.36\00:22:18.07
so we'll see what
Brenda's got cooked up.
00:22:18.10\00:22:19.83
Then we'll go around
00:22:19.87\00:22:21.20
and we'll tour a little
bit of the rest of the church.
00:22:21.24\00:22:24.11
Hi, everyone, welcome
to our Kids' Time Studio.
00:22:24.14\00:22:27.21
We're here in our control room
00:22:27.24\00:22:29.28
and we're in the middle
of taping Kids' Time Praise.
00:22:29.31\00:22:32.45
We have some beautiful girls
that are singing right now.
00:22:32.48\00:22:35.28
They're actuall
practicing a song,
00:22:35.32\00:22:36.75
getting ready to lay it down.
00:22:36.79\00:22:39.55
And we have in our studio
my assistant Melissa Hoffman.
00:22:39.59\00:22:42.96
And say hi, Melissa. Hello.
00:22:42.99\00:22:45.19
And of course Brad Walker
who is our Kids' Time director.
00:22:45.23\00:22:48.63
He's been with me
since the beginning
00:22:48.66\00:22:50.87
and I really wouldn't want
to do this program without him.
00:22:50.90\00:22:53.57
And then we have
Tyler. Tyler, say hello.
00:22:53.60\00:22:56.97
And we have also
Curtis over here.
00:22:57.01\00:23:01.34
And here's Steven
at the audio booth.
00:23:01.38\00:23:03.75
Say hi, Steven. Hi.
00:23:03.78\00:23:05.88
And let's take a look
in our Kids' Time Studio,
00:23:05.91\00:23:09.45
but let stop by our
green room on the way
00:23:09.48\00:23:11.79
and have you meet some
of our Kids' Time parents.
00:23:11.82\00:23:15.32
So right over here,
we're gonna come over
00:23:15.36\00:23:17.06
to you in our green room
00:23:17.09\00:23:18.43
and they are
waiting for their kids
00:23:18.46\00:23:20.80
to be on the program.
00:23:20.83\00:23:22.30
We have Samari over here.
Hi, Samari, can you say hi?
00:23:22.33\00:23:25.17
Hi, Miss Brenda.
00:23:25.20\00:23:26.63
Samari is getting ready to sing.
00:23:26.67\00:23:28.34
She's up next
and we have Summer,
00:23:28.37\00:23:29.94
she is doing her makeup for her,
00:23:29.97\00:23:32.14
and then we have two
girls that are out there,
00:23:32.17\00:23:35.21
you will meet in the few minutes
00:23:35.24\00:23:36.58
that are out there,
00:23:36.61\00:23:37.95
getting ready to
tape the program now.
00:23:37.98\00:23:39.31
And their
parents, the Maraud Family,
00:23:39.35\00:23:40.88
so we'd like you meet them
00:23:40.92\00:23:42.68
and also we
have the Roach family
00:23:42.72\00:23:44.29
which is Samari's parents.
00:23:44.32\00:23:46.79
We're really glad you come in.
00:23:46.82\00:23:48.16
You know, we couldn't do this
00:23:48.19\00:23:49.52
without the
support of our parents.
00:23:49.56\00:23:51.06
And I want to tell you
00:23:51.09\00:23:52.43
how much we really do
love and appreciate you,
00:23:52.46\00:23:54.23
because we really
couldn't do without you.
00:23:54.26\00:23:56.60
So this is where they
get ready before the program.
00:23:56.63\00:23:58.80
You can see, they
can watch in here,
00:23:58.83\00:24:01.30
what's going down in the studio.
00:24:01.34\00:24:03.07
We've all our
dressing rooms over there
00:24:03.10\00:24:04.77
and something I think you
might like to see is Maxwell.
00:24:04.81\00:24:08.61
Has a huger
wardrobe than Miss Brenda.
00:24:08.64\00:24:11.51
Look at all
Maxwell's' scarves over there.
00:24:11.55\00:24:13.48
He's got about a color
for everything, so he is well.
00:24:13.52\00:24:17.25
And those scarves
are made with love
00:24:17.29\00:24:19.52
by our Kids' Time
wardrobe designer Lucy Neuharth.
00:24:19.55\00:24:22.69
I don't know what we
would do without her.
00:24:22.72\00:24:24.46
So let's take a look.
00:24:24.49\00:24:25.83
Are you ready to
go inside the studio?
00:24:25.86\00:24:27.40
Let's go.
00:24:27.43\00:24:29.80
Okay, we're gonna come
00:24:29.83\00:24:31.17
right around the
side curtain right here.
00:24:31.20\00:24:32.70
These are
beautiful big side curtains.
00:24:32.73\00:24:35.30
It makes you feel
like you're outdoors.
00:24:35.34\00:24:37.01
And here is our
Kids' Time Studio.
00:24:37.04\00:24:39.71
You might see
our fences over here,
00:24:39.74\00:24:41.84
that's for Bible Time,
00:24:41.88\00:24:43.21
that keeps our
donkeys in their pen.
00:24:43.24\00:24:45.01
And if you come over here,
00:24:45.05\00:24:46.48
here is what Miss Brenda tapes--
00:24:46.51\00:24:49.08
This is our Kids' Time house
00:24:49.12\00:24:51.29
and here you will
see me tape Sharing Time
00:24:51.32\00:24:53.79
and you will see our dog house
00:24:53.82\00:24:55.82
for Maxwell up
there and our gardens.
00:24:55.86\00:24:57.96
I'm actually taping
00:24:57.99\00:24:59.33
Sharing Time in
a couple of weeks
00:24:59.36\00:25:00.70
and my chair is
already there waiting for me.
00:25:00.73\00:25:03.37
Then we also
have, here's our crew.
00:25:03.40\00:25:06.37
We're gonna get ready,
00:25:06.40\00:25:07.74
I think we'll just
interrupt them a little bit,
00:25:07.77\00:25:09.10
so you can meet our two singers
00:25:09.14\00:25:10.67
that are here today.
00:25:10.71\00:25:12.04
And come this way.
00:25:12.07\00:25:14.04
Hi, girls can I
interrupt you a second?
00:25:14.08\00:25:17.45
Oh, I want to introduce you
to the folks around the world
00:25:17.48\00:25:20.75
that are watching right now.
00:25:20.78\00:25:22.28
I want to introduce.
00:25:22.32\00:25:23.65
We have Emily and
we have Erica Maraud
00:25:23.69\00:25:25.52
that are here singing
00:25:25.55\00:25:26.89
and they're all
the way from Michigan,
00:25:26.92\00:25:29.16
and I'm really excited
that you're coming here today.
00:25:29.19\00:25:31.86
In fact, you know, they
know both of my brothers
00:25:31.89\00:25:33.83
who are Michigan's.
00:25:33.86\00:25:35.20
So I wanted to
say thank you so much.
00:25:35.23\00:25:38.30
Tell me, are you exited to
be here in Kids' Time today?
00:25:38.33\00:25:40.94
Yes. We're so excited.
00:25:40.97\00:25:42.90
We're having so much fun.
00:25:42.94\00:25:44.31
And you've already laid down
a couple of songs, haven't you?
00:25:44.34\00:25:46.31
Yes. So.
00:25:46.34\00:25:48.38
We love to sing for
Jesus. Oh, don't you...
00:25:48.41\00:25:51.61
See that's what I love
most of all, don't you?
00:25:51.65\00:25:53.62
I love it.
00:25:53.65\00:25:54.98
And Kids' Time
would not be the same
00:25:55.02\00:25:56.85
without our one and
only Dr. Calvin Taylor.
00:25:56.89\00:25:59.35
And I got to tell you
Dr. Calvin, I love this man.
00:25:59.39\00:26:03.19
He is just such a
precious friend of Kids' Time.
00:26:03.22\00:26:06.46
You've been playing for me
00:26:06.49\00:26:07.83
for lot of years
and so many kids,
00:26:07.86\00:26:09.73
tell me what do you
think about Kids' Time?
00:26:09.76\00:26:11.37
It's a wonderful ministry
and people of all ages love it,
00:26:11.40\00:26:14.20
all around the world.
00:26:14.24\00:26:15.74
I think you're
right, Dr. Calvin.
00:26:15.77\00:26:17.51
And they love
you. And I love them.
00:26:17.54\00:26:19.94
And I got to tell you,
we have some amazing kids
00:26:19.97\00:26:22.84
that came her to tape,
and, now, you've played
00:26:22.88\00:26:25.31
with a lot of
kids around the world?
00:26:25.35\00:26:27.72
That's right and
we got more coming.
00:26:27.75\00:26:30.09
That's right, in fact this
week we had some from Thailand,
00:26:30.12\00:26:32.72
they came over and taped.
00:26:32.75\00:26:34.09
Yes, so they...
00:26:34.12\00:26:35.46
That's right, it was
yesterday, wasn't it?
00:26:35.49\00:26:36.83
Seems, it can be a
world for me sometimes but--
00:26:36.86\00:26:41.40
Pardon me. It's an
international ministry.
00:26:41.43\00:26:43.23
Yes, it is. It
reaches all over the world.
00:26:43.26\00:26:45.50
And then I just take a
look around the world--
00:26:45.53\00:26:47.77
Room here if you would.
00:26:47.80\00:26:49.14
And we got
Maxwell, come her Max,
00:26:49.17\00:26:50.51
come her Max, come on.
00:26:50.54\00:26:51.97
Let me show you how
I get Maxwell in place.
00:26:52.01\00:26:53.58
Max, right over
here. Over here, Max.
00:26:53.61\00:26:56.18
Over here, come to
this way, right over here.
00:26:56.21\00:26:58.51
Now this way.
00:26:58.55\00:26:59.88
Come on over
here. Come on, right.
00:26:59.91\00:27:01.48
Okay, that's good, sit down.
00:27:01.52\00:27:03.42
Good boy. Good boy.
00:27:03.45\00:27:05.75
Let me fix your
scarf for you. Yes.
00:27:05.79\00:27:08.42
There you go,
isn't that a good boy?
00:27:08.46\00:27:11.16
And that's Maxwell,
00:27:11.19\00:27:12.53
and it wouldn't be
the same without him.
00:27:12.56\00:27:14.46
Would it?
00:27:14.50\00:27:15.83
And then look around the
room, we got our camera crew,
00:27:15.86\00:27:18.20
we have-- look
at, wave camera crew,
00:27:18.23\00:27:20.84
we got you over there.
00:27:20.87\00:27:22.74
And have Donald over
there, is floor directing today.
00:27:22.77\00:27:26.57
He is
substituting for Larry McLucas,
00:27:26.61\00:27:28.48
he is our usual floor director.
00:27:28.51\00:27:30.51
And we have Denay
on camera over here
00:27:30.55\00:27:33.08
and we have Ben
back there on chair,
00:27:33.11\00:27:35.92
we've got Curtis over here,
00:27:35.95\00:27:37.89
so now you can see
our big Kid's Time family
00:27:37.92\00:27:41.26
and I'm really glad
that you joined us today,
00:27:41.29\00:27:44.76
I'm glad that I
was able to give you
00:27:44.79\00:27:46.19
a little tour of inside
00:27:46.36\00:27:48.16
of our world here at Kid's Time.
00:27:48.20\00:27:49.53
And I want to thank you so much
00:27:49.56\00:27:50.97
for all your
love and your support,
00:27:51.00\00:27:52.93
we couldn't do this without you.
00:27:52.97\00:27:54.40
Thanks so much, so, girls,
are you ready to get started?
00:27:54.44\00:27:57.04
Let's check it out
with the song, okay.
00:27:57.07\00:27:59.51
I'd like to have them
hear just a little bit
00:27:59.54\00:28:01.58
of what you're
going to sing today.
00:28:01.61\00:28:03.01
Go ahead.
00:28:03.04\00:28:04.68
On Jordan's stormy banks I stand
00:28:09.48\00:28:13.79
And cast a wishful eye
00:28:13.82\00:28:19.29
Cast a wishful eye
00:28:19.33\00:28:23.80
Well, thanks for
joining us today.
00:28:23.83\00:28:25.63
I really want to
thank you so much
00:28:25.67\00:28:27.34
for your love and your support.
00:28:27.37\00:28:28.70
We couldn't do it without
you and thanks for joining us.
00:28:28.74\00:28:32.04
Back to you Danny.
00:28:32.07\00:28:33.68
Okay, that's exciting.
00:28:33.71\00:28:35.24
And also we're
showing you a few shots
00:28:35.28\00:28:37.01
of the rest of the facility
00:28:37.05\00:28:39.41
like it was during camp meeting.
00:28:39.45\00:28:40.82
And so way hopefully
you'll come next June
00:28:40.85\00:28:43.08
and join with us,
00:28:43.12\00:28:44.45
but we have great
crowds have come here.
00:28:44.49\00:28:46.86
And all these drones,
they are neat little machines,
00:28:46.89\00:28:49.69
they fly up and get aerial views
00:28:49.72\00:28:52.09
and it's just
another piece of equipment
00:28:52.13\00:28:54.20
that makes it enjoyable
when we're doing taping.
00:28:54.23\00:28:56.67
So we're getting
ready to go over to,
00:28:56.70\00:28:58.47
we call our
administration building,
00:28:58.50\00:29:00.14
but we also have studios there,
00:29:00.17\00:29:02.17
our facilities at 70
acres it's across the street
00:29:02.20\00:29:05.44
just down about a quarter mile,
00:29:05.47\00:29:07.18
and we're gonna go over
there and take a tour there.
00:29:07.21\00:29:10.28
But right now...
00:29:10.31\00:29:11.71
Oh, this is a
treat. Our perfect timing.
00:29:11.75\00:29:14.78
Look at the 3ABN, I
think it's all of our trucks,
00:29:14.82\00:29:19.35
our Uplink trucks,
our production trucks
00:29:19.39\00:29:21.89
coming back from series,
00:29:21.92\00:29:23.32
this maybe from Doug Batchelor's
00:29:23.36\00:29:24.76
recently back there,
but literally a lot of you
00:29:24.79\00:29:28.03
probably don't understand
what a huge operation this is
00:29:28.06\00:29:32.57
and how much equipment it takes
00:29:32.60\00:29:34.14
and how much
production crew that it takes
00:29:34.17\00:29:37.01
to go somewhere
like Lansing, Michigan
00:29:37.04\00:29:39.17
or go to the ASIs or go
to the General Conference.
00:29:39.21\00:29:42.14
Well, right now, you can
see all of our trucks coming in
00:29:42.18\00:29:45.28
and lot of the crew,
00:29:45.31\00:29:46.65
so what I'm gonna
do is we're just gonna,
00:29:46.68\00:29:48.15
I'm gonna turn
this over when they stop
00:29:48.18\00:29:50.69
and Joe will give us
a tour of all the trucks
00:29:50.72\00:29:53.99
and introduce you
to some of the crew
00:29:54.02\00:29:56.49
that you don't normally see.
00:29:56.52\00:29:58.39
So, Joe I'm turn it over to you.
00:29:58.43\00:30:01.33
Hello, my name is Joe Baker.
And this is the 3ABN road crew.
00:30:01.36\00:30:05.97
We're almost an invisible crew
00:30:06.00\00:30:07.70
that you never see
in front of the camera,
00:30:07.74\00:30:09.60
where we are
always behind the camera.
00:30:09.64\00:30:11.44
But all the events that happen
on the road or on location,
00:30:11.47\00:30:15.14
we are the ones who do it.
00:30:15.18\00:30:16.85
We from set up all
the way to teardown
00:30:16.88\00:30:20.35
and all the
pre-planning all the equipment
00:30:20.38\00:30:22.42
and things that are involved
00:30:22.45\00:30:24.32
that is all handled by
the guys that you see here,
00:30:24.35\00:30:27.06
as well as a few
others that come with us.
00:30:27.09\00:30:29.39
We go down the line
here with all of our trucks,
00:30:29.42\00:30:32.23
and we'll start here
with what we call our semi,
00:30:32.26\00:30:34.90
this is our
transportation truck.
00:30:34.93\00:30:36.73
Its how we get all
the equipment we need
00:30:36.77\00:30:39.60
from here to wherever
we're going in the US.
00:30:39.63\00:30:43.74
This is Michael Younkin,
00:30:43.77\00:30:45.11
he is one of our truck driver's.
00:30:45.14\00:30:46.84
He's actually one of the guys
00:30:46.88\00:30:48.21
that does a lot of
research for our trucks.
00:30:48.24\00:30:49.81
He keeps them all running
00:30:49.84\00:30:51.45
along with the help
from the rest of the crew.
00:30:51.48\00:30:54.15
He also does--
00:30:54.18\00:30:56.05
He's one of those guys
that kind a does everything.
00:30:56.08\00:30:58.05
He does lighting, audio.
00:30:58.09\00:31:00.36
And, Michael,
tell us little bit more
00:31:00.39\00:31:02.19
about what you do, and
about the truck you drive.
00:31:02.22\00:31:05.26
I drive the semi truck,
00:31:05.29\00:31:06.66
and my truck is all
the gear that we take,
00:31:06.70\00:31:09.43
from here lighting, audio,
00:31:09.46\00:31:11.47
anything that
makes the show happen.
00:31:11.50\00:31:13.64
We taken normally
pack up about a week
00:31:13.67\00:31:15.57
before we leave with
all the gear that we have
00:31:15.60\00:31:17.94
and then it gets
unloaded outside, set up
00:31:17.97\00:31:21.71
and then this trucks
is a truck that don't--
00:31:21.74\00:31:24.25
I think it's packed
backup and to be brought home.
00:31:24.28\00:31:26.82
All right.
00:31:26.85\00:31:28.25
So I remember back in the day,
00:31:28.28\00:31:31.35
when I started
about 13 years ago
00:31:31.39\00:31:33.69
we had a van and
a trailer a little,
00:31:33.72\00:31:36.09
what was it, 13 foot trailer
and everything went in that.
00:31:36.12\00:31:39.26
So over the years we've grown
00:31:39.29\00:31:41.96
and now, we need
something this size to house,
00:31:42.00\00:31:45.97
to house everything in.
00:31:46.00\00:31:47.54
And sometimes
we've been on trips
00:31:47.57\00:31:49.24
where this is completely full
00:31:49.27\00:31:50.94
and we've had to rent an
additional truck to do it.
00:31:50.97\00:31:53.98
Next we have our
freightliner here.
00:31:54.01\00:31:56.95
This pulls our production truck.
00:31:56.98\00:31:58.58
You guys have been used
seen our production truck
00:31:58.61\00:32:01.02
all these years as
one unit without a semi,
00:32:01.05\00:32:04.49
but recently we have
moved that box's onto a trailer
00:32:04.52\00:32:08.89
that's now pulled by this semi.
00:32:08.92\00:32:10.99
And this semi here
is a real blessing to us
00:32:11.03\00:32:14.56
because it was
donated by a family
00:32:14.60\00:32:18.63
that saw our
need of a semi truck
00:32:18.67\00:32:21.70
and so they got
us a brand new semi
00:32:21.74\00:32:25.07
and we're just so
grateful for this.
00:32:25.11\00:32:27.51
And this is Will Worf.
00:32:27.54\00:32:29.21
Will Wrof is our
production truck driver.
00:32:29.24\00:32:31.98
He drove the old truck,
00:32:32.01\00:32:33.85
and now he got a CDL
so he can drive this one.
00:32:33.88\00:32:37.29
And Will's been on the road
a lot longer than me actually.
00:32:37.32\00:32:41.49
He was on the road just
shortly after the road crew
00:32:41.52\00:32:44.23
came into being around 1998.
00:32:44.26\00:32:47.06
Will, you got here?
When did you get here?
00:32:47.10\00:32:49.46
In 2000. Okay. Yeah.
00:32:49.50\00:32:51.53
In the summer of 2000
00:32:51.57\00:32:53.60
they asked for voluntaries
to drive with the truck,
00:32:53.64\00:32:56.34
and so I volunteered all
summer and then they hired me.
00:32:56.37\00:32:59.97
So, I've been
driving ever since.
00:33:00.01\00:33:01.94
And I like the freightliner
00:33:01.98\00:33:04.01
because I can actually
go the speed limit now.
00:33:04.05\00:33:06.21
With the old truck
it was underpowered,
00:33:06.25\00:33:07.98
and if I had a headwind
00:33:08.02\00:33:09.88
I wouldn't get
over 55 miles an hour,
00:33:09.92\00:33:12.19
with this thing I don't
even notice the headwind.
00:33:12.22\00:33:15.06
So I just set the crews
and drive it down the road.
00:33:15.09\00:33:17.96
Yeah.
00:33:17.99\00:33:19.33
Yeah, we can't thank you enough,
00:33:19.36\00:33:21.53
all of you who
view all the programs
00:33:21.56\00:33:24.03
we do on the road
and who support us.
00:33:24.07\00:33:26.63
And with your financial
gifts and your prayers,
00:33:26.67\00:33:29.97
because we drive so
many miles every year
00:33:30.01\00:33:32.57
and we have seen so many
different things on road,
00:33:32.61\00:33:35.64
but the Lord
continues to watch over us,
00:33:35.68\00:33:38.15
and protect us and through your,
00:33:38.18\00:33:40.58
your prayers and
your financial support,
00:33:40.62\00:33:42.62
you know, we can
continued to upgrade.
00:33:42.65\00:33:44.65
You know, what Will
said is absolutely true.
00:33:44.69\00:33:46.92
We would go all in a line
00:33:46.96\00:33:48.46
at a snails pace up
these hills in California
00:33:48.49\00:33:50.93
and different parts out west
00:33:50.96\00:33:52.46
because it was so under powered.
00:33:52.49\00:33:54.06
And so these are just--
These are just huge blessings.
00:33:54.10\00:33:57.37
Next we're gonna
move down the line here.
00:33:57.40\00:33:59.63
This is the uplink truck.
00:33:59.67\00:34:01.17
This was my truck
00:34:01.20\00:34:02.74
up until recently
the one I always drove.
00:34:02.77\00:34:06.37
This is how we get the signal
00:34:06.41\00:34:08.68
up to space and
back down to you.
00:34:08.71\00:34:11.21
And this is Seth Davis.
00:34:11.25\00:34:13.95
Seth Davis is the new
driver, I have moved on,
00:34:13.98\00:34:17.35
I've recently had
a little baby girl
00:34:17.39\00:34:20.66
additional to my family
00:34:20.69\00:34:22.02
so they passed
the torch on the Seth,
00:34:22.06\00:34:24.36
so he can do
more of the driving,
00:34:24.39\00:34:26.56
spend a little
more time on the road.
00:34:26.59\00:34:28.50
And, Seth, what's it's been like
00:34:28.53\00:34:29.86
getting to learn
how to drive the uplink?
00:34:29.90\00:34:32.60
It's, it's been an adventure.
00:34:32.63\00:34:35.84
I've never driven
anything bigger than a,
00:34:35.87\00:34:39.44
you know, van so, when I
got into the truck for training
00:34:39.47\00:34:43.31
it was a whole new
experience in driving
00:34:43.35\00:34:45.18
and learning to keep my lane
00:34:45.21\00:34:47.62
is extremely
important in a truck this big.
00:34:47.65\00:34:52.22
Its just a lot of fun to drive,
I enjoy driving all the time.
00:34:52.25\00:34:56.22
We, we enjoy being on the road,
00:34:56.26\00:34:58.09
and often we are
reminded of your support
00:34:58.13\00:35:00.96
because we will
pass many viewers
00:35:01.00\00:35:03.97
as we travel down the roads.
00:35:04.00\00:35:05.33
So it's not uncommon
that we'll be driving along
00:35:05.37\00:35:07.84
and we hear a
horn honk and a wave
00:35:07.87\00:35:10.01
and we look down
and we realize that,
00:35:10.04\00:35:12.34
you know, our
viewer is passing us
00:35:12.37\00:35:13.78
and it's always nice to feel
that support over the miles.
00:35:13.81\00:35:18.41
Last but not least is our
van. This thing is a workhorse.
00:35:18.45\00:35:22.85
You know we need
all these trucks,
00:35:22.88\00:35:24.49
they are so
important, but this is so vital.
00:35:24.52\00:35:27.09
This is our transportation.
00:35:27.12\00:35:28.89
This van on the road it
sometimes pulls the trailer
00:35:28.92\00:35:32.09
if we have extra
luggage or extra things,
00:35:32.13\00:35:34.46
it also servers as
kind of a service vehicle
00:35:34.50\00:35:36.93
if we have any
problems with the trucks.
00:35:36.97\00:35:39.10
Sometimes we've tires
blow out, we have flats,
00:35:39.13\00:35:42.07
we have engines go down,
whatever the problem may be,
00:35:42.10\00:35:45.64
this our runner.
00:35:45.67\00:35:47.01
This is how we get parts,
00:35:47.04\00:35:48.84
this is how we
shuttle back and forth.
00:35:48.88\00:35:51.31
When we get to a
location we start setting up.
00:35:51.35\00:35:54.48
The crew rides in this van,
00:35:54.52\00:35:55.85
this 15 passengers van
from the hotel to the church.
00:35:55.88\00:36:00.09
And so this has
been such a key part
00:36:00.12\00:36:02.59
of the production crew.
00:36:02.62\00:36:04.36
Terrance is one of our drivers
for this van and Terrance--
00:36:04.39\00:36:08.40
Terrance is an audio
guy. He works with me.
00:36:08.43\00:36:10.73
He's one of my audio
guys and he does a great job.
00:36:10.77\00:36:13.60
He's one of our workhorses.
00:36:13.64\00:36:14.97
He, he can lift more
trust than the rest of us
00:36:15.00\00:36:18.74
and we call him the farm
boy but he's a good strong guy
00:36:18.77\00:36:22.01
and we are
really grateful for him.
00:36:22.04\00:36:23.45
And, Terrance, how long
have you been on the road
00:36:23.48\00:36:25.55
and what's your
favorite part about it?
00:36:25.58\00:36:27.42
Well, I've been here at 3ABN
about three and a half years,
00:36:27.45\00:36:31.79
been on road crew for a year.
00:36:31.82\00:36:34.42
It's been exacting, I mean,
we have our crazy movements
00:36:34.46\00:36:38.06
where we got to
do stuff really quick
00:36:38.09\00:36:40.00
because we got to be
ready for the live broadcast.
00:36:40.03\00:36:43.83
But it's, it's a
joy to be out there
00:36:43.87\00:36:47.00
and to see the different people,
00:36:47.04\00:36:48.87
the lives that we touch
00:36:48.90\00:36:51.37
through our job
and through what we do.
00:36:51.41\00:36:54.31
Like he said the production van
00:36:54.34\00:36:56.24
basically can take
trailers and stuff like that.
00:36:56.28\00:36:59.91
Its big enough engine
so we could pull trailers,
00:36:59.95\00:37:02.65
bear with extra luggage,
00:37:02.68\00:37:04.02
sometimes we
take the flight pack
00:37:04.05\00:37:05.79
which will just
take our remote gear
00:37:05.82\00:37:09.02
and stuff like
that in the trailer.
00:37:09.06\00:37:11.29
So it's a, it's a joy
and a blessing to be here.
00:37:11.33\00:37:15.56
Absolutely.
00:37:15.60\00:37:16.93
It's been such a privilege
to work on the road crew,
00:37:16.97\00:37:19.23
and work with all these guys.
00:37:19.27\00:37:21.10
These are the guys
that you just never see.
00:37:21.14\00:37:23.64
They make so much
happen behind the scenes
00:37:23.67\00:37:26.37
and you just never
see that part of it.
00:37:26.41\00:37:28.44
You know, you turn
your TV on, we go live,
00:37:28.48\00:37:30.71
and, you know, this is,
00:37:30.75\00:37:32.28
this is what's
the behind the scenes
00:37:32.31\00:37:33.65
two days of set up.
00:37:33.68\00:37:36.38
We want to take you
00:37:36.42\00:37:37.75
behind the scenes a little more.
00:37:37.79\00:37:39.12
We want to show you a
little bit of our life
00:37:39.15\00:37:41.02
and what goes into a drive,
00:37:41.06\00:37:42.92
and a set up in
the live production
00:37:42.96\00:37:45.43
and a teardown.
00:37:45.46\00:37:47.76
The 3ABN road
crew was born in 1998
00:37:47.80\00:37:50.63
when Danny saw
the need to broadcast
00:37:50.67\00:37:52.53
from different locations
00:37:52.57\00:37:53.90
other than our
studios in Illinois.
00:37:53.94\00:37:56.60
A television production
truck was purchased and equipped
00:37:56.64\00:37:59.67
and a first road
crew was selected
00:37:59.71\00:38:01.48
and started
traveling in August 1999.
00:38:01.51\00:38:05.31
Now 16 years later,
00:38:05.35\00:38:07.18
the road crew and
trucks have greatly expanded
00:38:07.22\00:38:09.72
to meet the needs of
production on the road.
00:38:09.75\00:38:12.69
Today the crew is
traveling to Lansing, Michigan
00:38:12.72\00:38:15.42
to record and
broadcast "Heroes of Our Faith"
00:38:15.46\00:38:17.79
with Doug Batchelor
00:38:17.83\00:38:19.16
a joint venture
with Amazing Facts.
00:38:19.19\00:38:21.40
Hours of
pre-planning and packing
00:38:21.43\00:38:23.00
have already taken place
00:38:23.03\00:38:24.37
and everything we
could possibly need
00:38:24.40\00:38:26.13
has been packed up in cases
and loaded on to the trucks.
00:38:26.17\00:38:29.97
Since the road crew
often travels for several days
00:38:30.01\00:38:32.57
to reach the location
nothing can be left behind
00:38:32.61\00:38:35.61
and careful planning is needed.
00:38:35.64\00:38:38.18
The crew includes truck drivers,
00:38:38.21\00:38:39.88
as well as camera
operators and other workers
00:38:39.91\00:38:42.38
who may be
traveling with the trucks.
00:38:42.42\00:38:44.65
Periodic stops are
made for fuel and food,
00:38:44.69\00:38:47.49
and each night
is spend at a hotel
00:38:47.52\00:38:49.42
for some much needed rest
after a full day of driving.
00:38:49.46\00:38:54.70
Once the trucks arrive
the crew wastes no time
00:38:54.73\00:38:57.20
unloading over 50,000
pounds of equipment and gear
00:38:57.23\00:39:00.67
needed for the broadcast.
00:39:00.70\00:39:02.54
All the equipment cases
must be taken of the trucks
00:39:02.57\00:39:05.37
and wheeled into the church.
00:39:05.41\00:39:07.21
Each crew member
knows their responsibility.
00:39:07.24\00:39:10.11
Trusses are hung to
support speakers and lights,
00:39:10.15\00:39:12.88
the cameras and
J bar are assembled
00:39:12.91\00:39:14.62
and placed in
their proper positions.
00:39:14.65\00:39:17.02
Audio gear set up
and mikes are tested.
00:39:17.05\00:39:20.06
Hundreds of cables
are run between the church
00:39:20.09\00:39:22.76
and the production
trucks to connect cameras,
00:39:22.79\00:39:25.13
projectors, audio and power.
00:39:25.16\00:39:27.83
Crew are also assigned
00:39:27.86\00:39:29.20
to shoot
footage of the location,
00:39:29.23\00:39:30.60
so behind the scene
videos and promos can be made.
00:39:30.63\00:39:34.70
It normally takes the
crew to two full days of set up
00:39:34.74\00:39:37.31
in order to be ready
for a live broadcast.
00:39:37.34\00:39:40.04
Opening night
it's always exacting,
00:39:40.08\00:39:42.04
with its mixture of
anticipation and tension
00:39:42.08\00:39:44.61
as the talent and crew
prepare for the broadcast.
00:39:44.65\00:39:49.02
Most road events consist of six
00:39:49.05\00:39:50.62
or more crew
members in the building
00:39:50.65\00:39:52.72
and five in the
production truck.
00:39:52.75\00:39:55.36
Three camera
operators who run the cameras,
00:39:55.39\00:39:58.69
and a jib operator works
00:39:58.73\00:40:00.06
the large camera
crane in the back.
00:40:00.10\00:40:03.50
A house audio
engineer runs the board
00:40:03.53\00:40:05.63
for sound inside the church,
00:40:05.67\00:40:07.84
and a stage hand helps make sure
00:40:07.87\00:40:09.54
everyone goes out on
stage with the right time,
00:40:09.57\00:40:12.27
with their correct mikes.
00:40:12.31\00:40:14.21
Inside the back of
the production truck,
00:40:14.24\00:40:16.18
a video operator make sure
the program is been recorded
00:40:16.21\00:40:19.28
and the colors
match on all the cameras.
00:40:19.31\00:40:22.32
In the middle of the
truck the sound engineer
00:40:22.35\00:40:24.25
mixes a separate
broadcast mix for television
00:40:24.29\00:40:27.19
and rolls any
tracks needed for music
00:40:27.22\00:40:29.52
while he adjust the sound.
00:40:29.56\00:40:32.39
The director sits in
the front of the truck
00:40:32.43\00:40:34.20
and calls for
the different shots
00:40:34.23\00:40:35.86
through the intercom.
00:40:35.90\00:40:37.57
Once the shot is ready,
he switches between cameras
00:40:37.60\00:40:40.24
to make the program
that goes on the air.
00:40:40.27\00:40:43.00
The video graphics person
is in charge of making sure
00:40:43.04\00:40:45.57
all the graphics are ready,
00:40:45.61\00:40:47.11
including the names
of each person speaking,
00:40:47.14\00:40:49.81
in other graphics they may use.
00:40:49.84\00:40:52.31
Just behind them the
producer is the person
00:40:52.35\00:40:54.38
who oversees the program
and making quick decisions
00:40:54.42\00:40:57.55
when something goes wrong.
00:40:57.59\00:41:00.12
3ABN's road crew
has become friends
00:41:00.16\00:41:02.12
with many of the speakers
and musicians you know well.
00:41:02.16\00:41:04.86
Hi, friends,
this is Doug Batchelor
00:41:04.89\00:41:06.29
and I just want to tell
you, it is been a real thrill
00:41:06.33\00:41:08.56
over the years to be
working with 3ABN road crew.
00:41:08.60\00:41:11.90
They are the greatest team
00:41:11.93\00:41:13.27
that we had a lot
of fun in the process.
00:41:13.30\00:41:15.44
Very professional
when we go upfront
00:41:15.47\00:41:17.34
but we really
enjoy each others company
00:41:17.37\00:41:19.34
behind the scenes.
00:41:19.37\00:41:20.71
You know, its
really been wonderful
00:41:20.74\00:41:22.08
and its just been a
thrill for us here at Lansing,
00:41:22.11\00:41:24.85
and to have a so many
folks from the community come.
00:41:24.88\00:41:28.02
It's been a real blessing.
00:41:28.05\00:41:29.38
We have lot of flocks
00:41:29.42\00:41:30.75
that are
interested in the church now
00:41:30.79\00:41:32.12
so we appreciate the
ministry of Amazing Facts
00:41:32.15\00:41:34.46
and 3ABN's has
been, just been amazing.
00:41:34.49\00:41:37.29
So we really
appreciate you guys.
00:41:37.33\00:41:39.49
Our production department
includes their valuable input
00:41:39.53\00:41:42.10
when they plan any production.
00:41:42.13\00:41:43.87
Since we set up all major events
00:41:43.90\00:41:45.80
like, ASI and GYC conventions,
00:41:45.83\00:41:48.44
and other large
productions help far from home.
00:41:48.47\00:41:52.17
Some of the road crew
also travels to other countries
00:41:52.21\00:41:54.94
for live events and
other 3ABN programming.
00:41:54.98\00:41:58.45
Each crew member is
dedicated and wears many hats.
00:41:58.48\00:42:02.85
Since we travel
thousands of miles each year,
00:42:02.88\00:42:05.25
we often see God's hand over
us as we drive down the highways
00:42:05.29\00:42:09.42
and we are thankful
for God's protection
00:42:09.46\00:42:11.73
and a chance to work
for Him on the frontlines
00:42:11.76\00:42:14.73
spreading the
gospel of Jesus Christ.
00:42:14.76\00:42:17.03
As you can see,
we have a lot of fun
00:42:31.45\00:42:33.01
behind the scenes
and on the road crew.
00:42:33.05\00:42:35.28
And I'm gland
you got to come along
00:42:35.32\00:42:36.79
and see a little
bit of what we do.
00:42:36.82\00:42:38.75
Thank you so
much for your prayers
00:42:38.79\00:42:40.29
and your support
of the road crew,
00:42:40.32\00:42:42.32
and now we'll go back to
Danny and the rest of the tour.
00:42:42.36\00:42:45.83
All right. Thank you so
much. That's kind of a neat.
00:42:45.86\00:42:48.20
We thought it would
be nice for you to see,
00:42:48.23\00:42:50.27
get as much as you
can see of our facility,
00:42:50.30\00:42:52.50
some of you have
never been able to come here
00:42:52.53\00:42:54.80
for whatever reasons.
00:42:54.84\00:42:56.17
So we're kind of
bringing 3ABN to you today
00:42:56.20\00:42:58.87
and behind the scenes.
00:42:58.91\00:43:00.24
Now we're up on Highway
149, I'm getting head over
00:43:00.28\00:43:03.68
to our
administration facilities.
00:43:03.71\00:43:05.85
We moved in there
around '95 from the uplink,
00:43:05.88\00:43:09.02
and 149 right
here if I go straight,
00:43:09.05\00:43:12.05
takes you right
to my little hometown
00:43:12.09\00:43:13.56
of West Frankfort, Illinois,
which I'm still partial too.
00:43:13.59\00:43:17.33
I've traveled around the world
00:43:17.36\00:43:18.69
but no place
like home as they say,
00:43:18.73\00:43:20.90
and I love being out
in a country like this.
00:43:20.93\00:43:23.20
3ABN a lot of flock say
we're out in a middle of nowhere
00:43:23.23\00:43:27.04
but, you know
what, I kind a enjoy it
00:43:27.07\00:43:29.07
and I get to meet
people everywhere.
00:43:29.10\00:43:30.74
But sometimes you can
just get back, take walks,
00:43:30.77\00:43:33.74
and enjoy not a lot of
people around at certain times
00:43:33.78\00:43:36.51
and so this is
one of those times
00:43:36.54\00:43:38.05
it is just fun to get out
00:43:38.08\00:43:40.02
and you can pull
your wheel around here,
00:43:40.05\00:43:41.42
you can ride horses around here.
00:43:41.45\00:43:43.42
You can-- it's a
really nice area to live in.
00:43:43.45\00:43:46.45
But right now where going up
00:43:46.49\00:43:48.76
gonna turn into
our main facilities
00:43:48.79\00:43:51.23
and so its our administrational
facilities we built here
00:43:51.26\00:43:54.86
and I think it was about 1995,
I have to ask Mollie for sure,
00:43:54.90\00:43:58.90
Mollie knows everything.
00:43:58.93\00:44:00.64
What a
beautiful little driveway.
00:44:00.67\00:44:02.24
Now this was
simply bare property,
00:44:02.27\00:44:04.67
it had been a farming--
00:44:04.71\00:44:06.47
I don't know what they had
corn or whatever the year before
00:44:06.51\00:44:09.84
but we were able to buy this
00:44:09.88\00:44:11.21
and instantly we
started building road.
00:44:11.25\00:44:14.22
My brother Ronnie
he got a road grader
00:44:14.25\00:44:17.62
and so we hired some
people to come in too
00:44:17.65\00:44:20.66
and the next day after
we closed on the property,
00:44:20.69\00:44:22.62
we started building.
00:44:22.66\00:44:23.99
No building
construction for meds,
00:44:24.03\00:44:25.69
you didn't have to
do any kind of zoning.
00:44:25.73\00:44:27.86
It's just what I
love about being out here
00:44:27.90\00:44:29.66
in the middle of nowhere.
00:44:29.70\00:44:31.03
So we built this facility
00:44:31.07\00:44:32.40
and then we
planned it all of these,
00:44:32.43\00:44:34.04
these trees around and try
to make it look fairly nice,
00:44:34.07\00:44:37.04
built a little pond out front.
00:44:37.07\00:44:38.47
This is about
00:44:38.51\00:44:40.01
I think its 35,000
square foot facility.
00:44:40.04\00:44:43.95
Some parts of it are two storey.
00:44:43.98\00:44:45.91
We have two studios in
here, we have studio A,
00:44:45.95\00:44:48.85
where you see the Today
program and cooking programs,
00:44:48.88\00:44:51.59
I think we even
have Dare to Dream.
00:44:51.62\00:44:53.59
In studio B we will
be looking that also.
00:44:53.62\00:44:56.56
You see Cheri Peters set.
00:44:56.59\00:44:58.16
The exercise
sets, our green screens,
00:44:58.19\00:45:00.83
it's a big facility.
00:45:00.86\00:45:02.26
The one we just came from
00:45:02.30\00:45:04.07
is about 40,000 plus square feet
00:45:04.10\00:45:07.44
where the,
where the sanctuary is
00:45:07.47\00:45:10.17
and our facility there.
00:45:10.21\00:45:11.87
So I'm pulling
around to the back
00:45:11.91\00:45:13.58
it's my office park back here,
00:45:13.61\00:45:16.24
and we're gonna
go in and get a tour.
00:45:16.28\00:45:19.41
And I'm gonna have Greg
and Jill Marconi great people,
00:45:19.45\00:45:23.79
give you a good
tour around this place,
00:45:23.82\00:45:25.59
then when they are through
00:45:25.62\00:45:26.96
we're gonna take you
over the call centre,
00:45:26.99\00:45:28.59
because all of this
shipping and receiving
00:45:28.62\00:45:30.66
going on back and forth
00:45:30.69\00:45:32.03
and all you that's
joined the blessing on the go,
00:45:32.06\00:45:34.16
I appreciate you doing that.
00:45:34.20\00:45:35.80
Hope you continue to do it
for a monthly gift of any size.
00:45:35.83\00:45:39.80
When you send to us,
00:45:39.83\00:45:41.17
each month we'll send
you an evangelistic tool,
00:45:41.20\00:45:43.47
and those have you
that been getting it,
00:45:43.51\00:45:45.51
may be CDs, music,
might be preaching,
00:45:45.54\00:45:49.18
any number of things it could be
00:45:49.21\00:45:50.61
but it's a tool
every month for you to use
00:45:50.65\00:45:52.61
as a witnessing tool
to tell your neighbor's
00:45:52.65\00:45:55.85
about Jesus Christ
and His soon coming.
00:45:55.88\00:45:58.95
So, we're gonna go in
00:45:58.99\00:46:00.32
and Greg and Jill
is gonna tour you,
00:46:00.36\00:46:01.89
then right after that
00:46:01.92\00:46:03.26
we're gonna go
over to the call centre
00:46:03.29\00:46:04.83
and I think even
to the sound centre,
00:46:04.86\00:46:06.86
and if we feel like we
will just go somewhere else.
00:46:06.90\00:46:09.63
Thank you, Danny.
00:46:09.66\00:46:11.00
Wow, what a beautiful
day to have a tour with
00:46:11.03\00:46:13.03
out and about
beautiful sunshine,
00:46:13.07\00:46:15.20
nice blue skies, the
fall colors and the trees.
00:46:15.24\00:46:17.97
This is the main
building of 3ABN.
00:46:18.01\00:46:19.77
So if you'll come to 3ABN
we have the main entrance,
00:46:19.81\00:46:22.28
you would walk into these doors,
00:46:22.31\00:46:23.78
and you would come
to our receptionist.
00:46:23.81\00:46:25.25
And you'll be greeted by Mary
right here in the front desk.
00:46:25.28\00:46:28.48
She's a tremendous
blessing to us here at 3ABN.
00:46:28.52\00:46:30.82
Not only does she greet
when you come on the tour,
00:46:30.85\00:46:32.79
you come to visit
3ABN, she answers the phone.
00:46:32.82\00:46:36.12
She would be our
main switchboard operator
00:46:36.16\00:46:38.36
and then she
would transfer your call
00:46:38.39\00:46:39.73
depending on if
had prayer needs,
00:46:39.76\00:46:41.20
if you wanted to talk to
someone in the call centre.
00:46:41.23\00:46:42.70
That's true.
00:46:42.73\00:46:44.07
She would handle
all those needs here.
00:46:44.10\00:46:45.63
Yeah, let's get going on a tour,
00:46:45.67\00:46:47.00
this is gonna be a lot of fun,
00:46:47.04\00:46:48.37
because you're gonna see some
of the studios, controls rooms.
00:46:48.40\00:46:49.74
We're gonna go
down to the west wing
00:46:49.77\00:46:51.11
here in just a moment.
00:46:51.14\00:46:52.47
But as you come
in the main entrance
00:46:52.51\00:46:53.84
here at 3ABN, on our
wall are some pictures,
00:46:53.88\00:46:56.64
and we don't
want to lift up people
00:46:56.68\00:46:58.28
but these are board members
00:46:58.31\00:46:59.65
that have
fallen asleep in Jesus.
00:46:59.68\00:47:01.75
And we have Elder Owen Troy,
00:47:01.78\00:47:03.75
who was with us from
many years on the 3ABN board.
00:47:03.79\00:47:06.52
His daughter Carmelita
Troy is our board member now.
00:47:06.55\00:47:09.86
And them we have May
Chung, and she served for years
00:47:09.89\00:47:12.39
here on the 3ABN board.
00:47:12.43\00:47:14.10
Next to her is Merlin Farley,
00:47:14.13\00:47:16.87
he feel asleep in
Jesus very recently here.
00:47:16.90\00:47:19.33
And his son is our
current board chair.
00:47:19.37\00:47:22.50
He's the-- Bruce Farley
00:47:22.54\00:47:24.07
is the chair of
3ABN's board right now.
00:47:24.11\00:47:26.78
Then we have a Pam Rhodes,
00:47:26.81\00:47:28.94
who is next to
our Merlin Farley.
00:47:28.98\00:47:30.75
She had an
incredible singing voice.
00:47:30.78\00:47:32.11
Oh, absolutely.
00:47:32.15\00:47:33.48
Her husband Jimmy Rhodes
a great partner with 3ABN,
00:47:33.52\00:47:36.69
both of them--
00:47:36.72\00:47:38.05
very sad to lose her,
not long ago actually.
00:47:38.09\00:47:40.72
But anyway let's go down
00:47:40.76\00:47:42.09
what we call the
West Wing of the 3ABN.
00:47:42.12\00:47:44.36
And why we'd
call it the West Wing?
00:47:44.39\00:47:45.93
I have no idea. It faces west.
00:47:45.96\00:47:48.13
Well, I think
that's probably right.
00:47:48.16\00:47:49.50
This wing kind of goes
on a west side I think so.
00:47:49.53\00:47:51.07
If we step in just to
our right here it say's,
00:47:51.10\00:47:53.84
the sign above the door
say's production office.
00:47:53.87\00:47:56.44
Yeah. That's true.
00:47:56.47\00:47:57.81
This is right
here production office
00:47:57.84\00:47:59.17
but there's a lot of different
things that take place here.
00:47:59.21\00:48:01.71
Now, it's kind of
special to you actually.
00:48:01.74\00:48:03.81
This is my desk right here.
00:48:03.85\00:48:05.18
And so if I talked
to you on the phone,
00:48:05.21\00:48:07.92
it would be right
from here at my desk.
00:48:07.95\00:48:10.22
But there's four of
us who are in the office.
00:48:10.25\00:48:12.35
Here we have Dee Hildebrand.
00:48:12.39\00:48:14.29
That's right, and
she's very important.
00:48:14.32\00:48:15.72
I work with her since
I'm in production a lot.
00:48:15.76\00:48:17.69
She does a lot
with her scheduling
00:48:17.73\00:48:19.06
and many hats that
Dee Hildebrand wears.
00:48:19.09\00:48:21.73
But we were closer together
and I enjoy working with Dee.
00:48:21.76\00:48:24.43
And here counter
part in 3ABN Latino
00:48:24.47\00:48:26.74
will be Sonia Rodriguez.
00:48:26.77\00:48:28.40
And Sonia schedules
00:48:28.44\00:48:29.77
and does production
coordinating for Latino
00:48:29.80\00:48:31.51
and then Summer Boyd
works over here as well.
00:48:31.54\00:48:33.54
Yeah, and that's her desk here
00:48:33.58\00:48:34.91
and you may see her
name on the credits.
00:48:34.94\00:48:36.28
She runs our jibs,
00:48:36.31\00:48:37.65
she does a lot of coordinating
for production as well.
00:48:37.68\00:48:39.91
Sends out some carbon
copies, runs camera for us,
00:48:39.95\00:48:42.02
she's multitalented as well.
00:48:42.05\00:48:44.02
Well let's go over cross and see
00:48:44.05\00:48:46.02
who is across the
hall so let's hear.
00:48:46.05\00:48:48.32
Oh, good Pastor Johnny.
00:48:48.36\00:48:51.63
Boy, I tell, just
hoping to see you,
00:48:51.66\00:48:52.99
and here you're
walking out of your office.
00:48:53.03\00:48:54.90
Now Pastor Johnny is
Latino general manager.
00:48:54.93\00:48:58.70
And you have been at 3ABN's
since almost the beginning?
00:48:58.73\00:49:02.77
Well not quite--
00:49:02.80\00:49:04.61
well little bit
1989, November 1989
00:49:04.64\00:49:07.74
so in about two or
three weeks will be 26 years.
00:49:07.78\00:49:10.68
Yeah, 26 years
that's a long time.
00:49:10.71\00:49:12.05
That is along time.
00:49:12.08\00:49:13.42
You started in pastoral
00:49:13.45\00:49:14.78
and then a
beautiful Puerto Rican woman
00:49:14.82\00:49:17.19
came to join you.
00:49:17.22\00:49:18.55
I'm specking of
Sister Idalia Dinzey,
00:49:18.59\00:49:21.16
and you have two sons as well.
00:49:21.19\00:49:23.89
Yes, we have two sons.
Samuel he's 19, Caleb he is 15.
00:49:23.93\00:49:28.13
And the Lord has blessed us
with two beautiful children.
00:49:28.16\00:49:31.47
When you think about
it basically, you spent
00:49:31.50\00:49:32.87
most of your life here at 3ABN.
00:49:32.90\00:49:35.04
The reason I
call him Pastor Johnny
00:49:35.07\00:49:36.40
is because when I
first came to 3ABN
00:49:36.44\00:49:38.04
he was in the
pastoral department
00:49:38.07\00:49:39.67
and of course he
speaks frequently
00:49:39.71\00:49:41.31
at different churches
00:49:41.34\00:49:42.68
and of course the
Thompsonville Church
00:49:42.71\00:49:44.05
I remember back in the
days especially quite a bit.
00:49:44.08\00:49:45.65
Now I appreciate him
and his family a lot.
00:49:45.68\00:49:47.12
But tell us what's
going on in Latino department?
00:49:47.15\00:49:50.15
Well, a lots going on.
00:49:50.19\00:49:51.52
We thank the Lord
because just as we end the year
00:49:51.55\00:49:56.96
well, the Lord has blessed us.
00:49:56.99\00:49:58.33
We are in about 1,300
cable companies over that.
00:49:58.36\00:50:01.86
And we are blessed with
about over 120 local TV stations
00:50:01.90\00:50:08.00
they are in the US,
Mexico, and Puerto Rico
00:50:08.04\00:50:12.41
and that means
millions of people
00:50:12.44\00:50:14.44
can watch 3ABN Latino
over 1,300 cable companies,
00:50:14.48\00:50:18.68
over 120 TV stations.
00:50:18.71\00:50:21.92
And the Lord is
doing great things.
00:50:21.95\00:50:23.28
Lives are being transformed
00:50:23.32\00:50:24.69
and we just,
praise the Lord for that.
00:50:24.72\00:50:27.89
And many prayer
supports, many prayer supports.
00:50:27.92\00:50:29.96
We are also on
some streaming services
00:50:29.99\00:50:32.36
such as Roku, and
there are two others
00:50:32.39\00:50:36.53
that I don't recall
the names right now,
00:50:36.56\00:50:38.33
but they wanted to
have 3ABN Latino as well
00:50:38.37\00:50:41.37
and so we praise the
Lord for these avenues
00:50:41.40\00:50:44.11
where we can reach people
with the everlasting gospel.
00:50:44.14\00:50:47.11
Now in the Latino
department, now your staff,
00:50:47.14\00:50:49.14
tell me how many
staff members you have
00:50:49.18\00:50:50.95
in your Latino department
00:50:50.98\00:50:52.31
and how many years
again is 3ABN Latino?
00:50:52.35\00:50:53.92
How old is 3ABN Latino?
3ABN Latino is 12 years old.
00:50:53.95\00:50:57.25
Incredible.
00:50:57.29\00:50:58.62
And for me to
remember the staff I usually--
00:50:58.65\00:51:00.62
I'm sorry. I
put you on the spot.
00:51:00.66\00:51:02.59
I usually go through
the offices in my mind.
00:51:02.62\00:51:04.99
So next to my
end is Jorge Jaque,
00:51:05.03\00:51:07.03
he is our production manager.
00:51:07.06\00:51:08.40
Okay.
00:51:08.43\00:51:09.76
He's sharing
office with Irma Murray,
00:51:09.80\00:51:11.90
Pastor C.A. Murray's wife
00:51:11.93\00:51:13.27
which of course
they have seen on 3ABN,
00:51:13.30\00:51:15.34
and she is our
production assistance,
00:51:15.37\00:51:17.57
is a producer also.
00:51:17.61\00:51:19.24
Is like a cable
marketing representative
00:51:19.27\00:51:21.24
and also does some
creative work with the sets.
00:51:21.28\00:51:25.65
She does design some sets
and even gone into panting,
00:51:25.68\00:51:29.02
so we just praise the
Lord for the talented ability
00:51:29.05\00:51:32.19
she has to even decorate sets.
00:51:32.22\00:51:34.59
We also moving
across from my office
00:51:34.62\00:51:36.93
is Sister Sonia Rodriguez,
she helps in production.
00:51:36.96\00:51:40.66
And moving down
the hallway Luis Capote
00:51:40.70\00:51:44.73
and we have John Ramirez
00:51:44.77\00:51:46.40
and we also have
Alex Sanchez Alejandro
00:51:46.43\00:51:50.51
he comes from Alejandro.
00:51:50.54\00:51:52.14
He is our
supervisor for the editors,
00:51:52.17\00:51:54.84
and they work together to
try to keep the programs edited
00:51:54.88\00:51:59.11
and nice quality of
programs on the air.
00:51:59.15\00:52:01.28
My wife Idalia.
00:52:01.32\00:52:02.68
She is administrative assistant
00:52:02.72\00:52:04.15
also helps to edit
our Spanish magazine Hoy
00:52:04.19\00:52:10.83
and we just praise the Lord
for the work she's able to do,
00:52:10.86\00:52:15.50
she's also
producer for the Hoy program
00:52:15.53\00:52:18.87
and also hosts some programs.
00:52:18.90\00:52:21.24
In pastoral even though
00:52:21.27\00:52:22.60
he's part of the
pastoral department,
00:52:22.64\00:52:23.97
we try to claim him as
one of ours for 3ABN Latino,
00:52:24.01\00:52:26.78
Dr. Senez Rodriguez
and we also count on help
00:52:26.81\00:52:30.48
from Moses Primo, for Portuguese
00:52:30.51\00:52:33.08
and we go to the call centre
and we have there Rocio Barron
00:52:33.11\00:52:38.95
and so she is our
call centre representative.
00:52:38.99\00:52:41.06
We do need more help
00:52:41.09\00:52:42.42
so some of us
are answer the phone
00:52:42.46\00:52:45.03
when we are available.
00:52:45.06\00:52:46.39
When we are in Puerto Rico
my in laws volunteer, Freddy
00:52:46.43\00:52:48.83

00:52:48.86\00:52:51.07
And we go to Guatemala
00:52:51.10\00:52:52.43
and we have some
volunteers there.
00:52:52.47\00:52:53.80
We have Boris
and Manuel and Alvaro
00:52:53.84\00:52:56.77
but we also
praise the Lord because,
00:52:56.81\00:52:59.17
all of the different
departments help 3ABN Latino.
00:52:59.21\00:53:01.74
We would not be
able to do productions
00:53:01.78\00:53:03.31
without the production.
00:53:03.35\00:53:04.68
It's a team effort isn't it?
00:53:04.71\00:53:06.05
It's a team effort. Definitely.
00:53:06.08\00:53:07.42
Well, I know you're busy man,
00:53:07.45\00:53:08.78
I know you're
heading out of your office.
00:53:08.82\00:53:10.15
So Lord be with
you, pastor. Thank you.
00:53:10.19\00:53:11.52
Thank you, Pastor Johnny.
00:53:11.55\00:53:12.89
We continue on
down the West Wing,
00:53:12.92\00:53:14.26
we're talking about Jorge Jaque,
00:53:14.29\00:53:15.62
and Irma's
office here to our left.
00:53:15.66\00:53:17.73
Now this is little kitchen,
we'll tell you this briefly
00:53:17.76\00:53:19.66
this is where some
of us eat our lunch.
00:53:19.69\00:53:22.13
And that's always a lot of fun
00:53:22.16\00:53:23.80
and I have to say
Dave Turner's corn,
00:53:23.83\00:53:26.53
sometimes in a summer time
Dave Turner is our neighbor
00:53:26.57\00:53:29.30
he works at 3ABN
in the carpenter shop
00:53:29.34\00:53:31.14
but sometimes he
brings us he's garden corn.
00:53:31.17\00:53:33.38
He has the best corn,
00:53:33.41\00:53:34.91
the best
homegrown garden tomatoes.
00:53:34.94\00:53:37.21
Oh, yeah.
00:53:37.25\00:53:38.58
Now coming out of
the West Wing kitchen,
00:53:38.61\00:53:39.95
we go down this
West Wing hallway
00:53:39.98\00:53:41.32
and the next office
is Mr. Danny Shelton.
00:53:41.35\00:53:43.82
Now I know he has just
given you a tour around
00:53:43.85\00:53:45.59
so let's see
actually if he's here.
00:53:45.62\00:53:47.86
Not sure if he is in his office.
00:53:47.89\00:53:49.22
Now oh, I here him--
00:53:49.26\00:53:50.59
Now, Danny's he's
here. He's actually here.
00:53:50.63\00:53:51.96
He made it from his truck
all the way into the office.
00:53:51.99\00:53:54.83
He is a busy man.
00:53:54.86\00:53:56.50
How you doing Mr.
Danny? Good surprise.
00:53:56.53\00:53:58.70
It's good to see
you too. Good. Good.
00:53:58.73\00:54:02.10
This office to me is the hub
00:54:02.14\00:54:03.74
of everything that
takes place here at 3ABN.
00:54:03.77\00:54:06.31
It's a very important office
00:54:06.34\00:54:07.68
and the man
sitting behind this desk
00:54:07.71\00:54:09.84
is a man of God, a man of faith,
00:54:09.88\00:54:11.98
and a man of wisdom.
00:54:12.01\00:54:13.35
And, Mr. Danny, we just
thank you for walking out
00:54:13.38\00:54:17.45
what God put in your
heart all those 31 years ago.
00:54:17.49\00:54:20.82
I couldn't do it
without people like you
00:54:20.86\00:54:22.62
and of course
those folks at home.
00:54:22.66\00:54:23.99
I am in here now, I was outside
00:54:24.03\00:54:25.69
and you noticed I'm
back in the office but--
00:54:25.73\00:54:27.83
He doest stop.
00:54:27.86\00:54:29.20
I'm gonna
interrupt you real quick.
00:54:29.23\00:54:30.57
He doest stop, this man is busy.
00:54:30.60\00:54:32.10
He works late, he
even sends me emails
00:54:32.13\00:54:34.30
sometimes early in the morning.
00:54:34.34\00:54:35.80
Can I say?
00:54:35.84\00:54:37.17
I'm fast asleep,
00:54:37.21\00:54:38.54
and he's up sending
emails but this man works--
00:54:38.57\00:54:40.44
Like three in the morning or--
00:54:40.48\00:54:42.38
But he works hard
for the cause of God.
00:54:42.41\00:54:43.95
You know he doest do
it for accolades or glory
00:54:43.98\00:54:46.08
but he does it because
the work needs to be done.
00:54:46.11\00:54:48.12
We're in here and
we're singing agreements.
00:54:48.15\00:54:49.88
This is like
charitable gifts annuities.
00:54:49.92\00:54:51.72
We wanted to thank those of you
00:54:51.75\00:54:53.09
who call our wills
and trusts department.
00:54:53.12\00:54:56.69
And what do we
call that department?
00:54:56.73\00:54:58.36
Plan giving.
00:54:58.39\00:54:59.73
Plan giving, that sounds
more I started years ago,
00:54:59.76\00:55:01.96
and just wills and trusts.
00:55:02.00\00:55:03.33
Plan giving sounds more
formal, so you call that.
00:55:03.37\00:55:06.03
Thank you for
what you do for there.
00:55:06.07\00:55:07.40
We're also have
singed 40 or 50 just a day
00:55:07.44\00:55:10.17
of the Blessing Is on
the "Go!" certificates.
00:55:10.21\00:55:12.21
Fantastic. And I
just thank all of you.
00:55:12.24\00:55:15.44
We're getting a
tremendous amount of view,
00:55:15.48\00:55:17.25
and that's what we've
ask you to pray about it.
00:55:17.28\00:55:19.05
Be apart of
3ABN's monthly's giving,
00:55:19.08\00:55:21.38
we are trying to
build that foundation.
00:55:21.42\00:55:22.82
That's right.
00:55:22.85\00:55:24.19
And so I may, we're
just have been to London,
00:55:24.22\00:55:26.82
we are getting ready
to go this coming year.
00:55:26.86\00:55:28.92
And the conferences is excited,
we met the president and--
00:55:28.96\00:55:31.56
Amen.
00:55:31.59\00:55:32.93
And with literally that
folk from that conferences,
00:55:32.96\00:55:35.56
and they said "Let's turn
London upside down for Jesus."
00:55:35.60\00:55:38.77
Praise the Lord.
00:55:38.80\00:55:40.14
So, now we're making plans
00:55:40.17\00:55:41.50
and C.A. Murray and John
and I were all over there.
00:55:41.54\00:55:43.47
And that's gonna
be next September,
00:55:43.51\00:55:45.01
but we're gonna do some
satellite meeting before,
00:55:45.04\00:55:47.28
it's taking lot of work now.
00:55:47.31\00:55:48.78
So we want you all to
get onboard with us too.
00:55:48.81\00:55:50.95
Especially those have
you watching from Europe,
00:55:50.98\00:55:53.31
from the London area be
onboard 3ABN its coming,
00:55:53.35\00:55:56.62
we'll tell you more
about it in the future.
00:55:56.65\00:55:58.92
But there are so many
wonderful things happening,
00:55:58.95\00:56:01.69
I can't hardly sleep at times.
00:56:01.72\00:56:03.22
I know I should,
but literally I wakeup
00:56:03.26\00:56:05.86
and an idea comes in my mind.
00:56:05.89\00:56:07.33
And I wakeup I'm like
00:56:07.36\00:56:08.70
oh, I should have
done this or that.
00:56:08.73\00:56:10.83
But, you know,
I had a good rest.
00:56:10.87\00:56:12.20
I had a sabbatical but I'm back
00:56:12.23\00:56:14.90
and as long as God gives
me the health and the mind
00:56:14.94\00:56:17.11
of continue to do
what I'm doing and enjoy.
00:56:17.14\00:56:19.67
And I thank you,
guys, for what you doing,
00:56:19.71\00:56:21.41
Jill and Greg,
00:56:21.44\00:56:22.94
for what you all are doing here.
00:56:22.98\00:56:24.31
Without you 3ABN
would be in lot of trouble.
00:56:24.35\00:56:26.82
Because some of us
spoke we are getting older,
00:56:26.85\00:56:29.08
the Lord either is
gonna come, has to come,
00:56:29.12\00:56:31.39
or we got to go to
sleep and we want to know
00:56:31.42\00:56:33.86
that it's in good hands
00:56:33.89\00:56:35.22
and so, we appreciate
you guys form what you doing
00:56:35.26\00:56:37.96
and I look forward to
the time that you takeover.
00:56:37.99\00:56:41.23
You know, have to use
this office, but use your own.
00:56:41.26\00:56:43.70
But our goal is
that we prayed about this
00:56:43.73\00:56:46.37
and Greg and Jill and
they are willing to do
00:56:46.40\00:56:49.40
whatever God asked them to do.
00:56:49.44\00:56:50.77
And I said you, guys should
step into the position I'm in.
00:56:50.81\00:56:54.51
Jim Gully was in
here for few years,
00:56:54.54\00:56:56.51
with the youth but you
know, as long as I'm here
00:56:56.54\00:56:58.48
and they need me
I'll continue to do it.
00:56:58.51\00:57:00.48
But I know whatever
happens 3ABN is in good hands.
00:57:00.52\00:57:03.52
So thank you for what you
do for the cause of God too.
00:57:03.55\00:57:06.49
And thank you, all of
you for what you doing,
00:57:06.52\00:57:08.39
your prayers,
your financial support.
00:57:08.42\00:57:10.26
And today we just
wanted to give a good tour--
00:57:10.29\00:57:12.13
It's a lot of fun.
00:57:12.16\00:57:13.50
And may be go

00:57:13.53\00:57:14.86

00:57:14.90\00:57:16.36
but your 3ABN is
getting to be a--
00:57:16.40\00:57:19.93
It's a large network
00:57:19.97\00:57:21.30
and you'll see
with the lot of folk,
00:57:21.34\00:57:23.61
and it takes a lot of buildings,
00:57:23.64\00:57:24.97
it takes a lot of equipments
and we couldn't do without you.
00:57:25.01\00:57:27.84
So thanks, thank you so
