AND THAT'S WHAT BEHIND THE 02:53 SCENES ABOUT. WE HAVE INCREDIBLE TESTIMONIES 02:58 OF PEOPLE WHO HAVE COME TO KNOW JESUS. 03:01 PEOPLE WHO ARE JUST WALKING IN TO THE SEVENTH-DAY ADVENTIST 03:10 CHURCH. WE FEEL A LITTLE AWKWARD, 03:12 SITTING IN THESE CHAIRS. OUR PRESIDENT AND FOUNDER WOULD 03:16 NORMALLY BE SITTING HERE, OR PASTOR CA MURRAY, OR ONE OF OUR 03:21 OTHER GUESTS, BUT WE ARE BLESSED TO HAVE ALL OF YOU HERE. 03:26 WE HAVE MOLLIE STEENSON. >> ALWAYS A PLEASURE TO BE HERE. 03:30 >> YOU ARE VICE PRESIDENT AND GENERAL MANAGER, AND A WONDERFUL-WOMAN OF GOD. 03:35 >> AND WHEN I WORKED AT THE CALL CENTER, YOUR DOOR WAS ALWAYS 03:40 OPEN. THERE IS PROBABLY THOUSANDS OF 03:43 TIMES I HAVE GONE INTO YOUR OFFICE, AND THIS LOVELY WOMAN 03:50 HAS ALWAYS TIME TO SHARE. IT'S A BLESSING. 03:55 >> ANYTHING WISE THAT WOULD COME FROM ME, WOULD HAVE TO COME FROM 03:58 GOD, I ASSURE YOU OF THAT. >> AND WE CALL SOME OF YOUR 04:04 SAYINGS, WHAT? MOLLIEISMS. 04:06 >> YES. >> AND SITTING NEXT TO YOU AND 04:10 PASTOR JOHN LOMACANG. I HAVE WORKED WITH YOU, AND YOU 04:14 HAVE OF COURSE BEEN PASTOR OF OUR CHURCH FOR 13 -- 14? 04:18 >> GOING ON 14 YEARS NOW. WE HAVE GROWN UP TOGETHER. 04:21 >> YES >> YOU ARE THE ONLY ONE THAT 04:24 MAINTAINED THE BLACK HAIR. I DON'T KNOW HOW YOU DO IT. 04:27 >> WELL, PASTOR, I DO HAVE SOME GRAY HAIRS, SO MAYBE THE CAMERA 04:34 CAN'T QUITE SHOW IT. I WAS PULLING THEM OUT FOR A 04:37 WHILE, AND I DECIDED I BETTER STOP. 04:39 BUT THANK YOU FOR THE MINISTRY THAT YOU AND YOUR WIFE BRING 04:43 HERE TO OUR CHURCH AND TO 3ABN. AND BEING AN AMBASSADOR FOR 3ABN 04:47 BECAUSE YOU HAVE A FULL TRAVEL SCHEDULE AS WELL. 04:50 I DON'T KNOW HOW YOU DO IT. THE LORD IS THE ONE THAT GIVES 04:53 YOU STRENGTH. BUT THANK YOU FOR YOUR 04:56 WILLINGNESS TO SERVE HIM. >> THANK YOU GREG, THANK YOU 05:00 JILL, WE HAVE SEEN YOU GROW UP, AND WE ARE PRAISING GOD FOR 05:06 THAT. WE'LL TAKE YOU BEHIND, BEHIND 05:10 THE SCENES. THEY WERE EXPRESSING TO US, HOW 05:14 PASTOR CA AND DANNY, ALWAYS SIT OVER THERE, AND WE FEEL LIKE TWO 05:22 CHICKEN LEGS IN HOT OIL. >> THAT'S A GREAT DESCRIPTION. 05:28 [ LAUGHTER ] >> AND MOLLIE WHAT DID YOU 05:29 SAY -- >> IF WE DON'T TRAIN THEM UP 05:32 NOW, THEY FALL FLAT ON THEIR FACES, AND IT'S ALL OUR FAULT. 05:36 >> WE'RE HAPPY TO HAVE YOU SITTING THERE TODAY. 05:40 >> WELL, IT'S A BLESSING. PASTOR HAS BEEN A PART OF 3ABN 05:45 SINCE THE BEGINNING. MAYBE GIVE US A QUICK UPDATE, 05:50 BECAUSE MANY PEOPLE WANT TO KNOW HOW YOUR HUSBAND IS DOING. 05:52 >> WELL, HE HAD A STROKE LAST MAY, BUT HE IS DOING WELL, AND 05:59 HE IS IN THE BEST SPIRITS, AND HE IS ALWAYS HAPPY AND SINGING. 06:03 I WENT IN LATE ONE NIGHT -- I THINK I HAD DONE A TODAY 06:08 PROGRAM -- NO, A LIVE. AND I WENT IN LATE, AND I 06:12 THOUGHT I WOULD FIND HIM ASLEEP OR SAD BECAUSE I WASN'T THERE, 06:18 AND I HEARD SOMEBODY IN BED SING SINGING UP A STORM. 06:24 AND HE WAS JUST AS HAPPY AS COULD BE. 06:26 >> AMEN. I THINK IT WAS LAST WEEK I WAS 06:31 IN YOUR OFFICE, AND HIS LITTLE CAR PULLED UP, AND HE DROVE 06:36 HIMSELF TO WORK JUST TO SAY HELLO TO YOU AND I THINK TO GO 06:40 TO LUNCH. >> YES. 06:42 WE WENT TO LUNCH TOGETHER. >> YES. 06:47 AND YOU WEAR SO MANY HATS I CAN'T EVEN COUNT THEM ALL. 06:51 YOU AND YOUR WIFE ARE A BIG PART OF 3ABN. 06:54 WHEN I WAS AT THE CALL CENTER, AND YOU HAD JUST ARRIVED -- WHAT 07:01 HAS IT BEEN 15 YEARS? >> I CAME IN JANUARY 2005. 07:08 >> SO 12, 13 YEARS. AND I THINK IT WAS FRIDAY 07:15 MORNING, AND YOU CAME AND SPUN THE CHAIR AROUND ACROSS THE 07:19 DECEMBER FRK ME, AND JUST SAID IF THERE IS ANYTHING I CAN BE 07:22 HERE FOR YOU FOR ANYTHING, PRAYER, WHATEVER IT IS. 07:27 AND I APPRECIATE THAT PASTOR, BECAUSE WE YOUNG PEOPLE NEED MEN 07:32 TORS, AND THANK YOU FOR ALWAYS BEING AVAILABLE TO JILL AND 07:37 MYSELF AND MANY PEOPLE HERE AT 3ABN. 07:40 YOU AND YOUR WIFE ARE A TREMENDOUS BLESSING. 07:43 AND WE HAVE A TREMENDOUS TEAM, AND WE LOVE WORKING TOGETHER AS 07:48 PASTOR CA AND I THINK DANNY ALWAYS SAID, THAT WE HONESTLY DO 07:55 LIKE EACH OTHER. >> WE DO. 07:57 >> IT'S A BLESSING WORKING WITH YOU HERE AT 3ABN. 08:01 >> IT'S A PLEASURE. I DONE REMEMBER THAT PARTICULAR 08:07 CONVERSATION -- >> I DO DISTINCTLY. 08:09 >> I DO REMEMBER HAVING THAT CONVERSATION WITH MOLIE. 08:14 I COULD SEE THIS LINE OF PEOPLE LINING UP -- SOMETIMES THE LINE 08:17 IS FOUR, FIVE, SIX PEOPLE DEEP WAITING TO GET INTO HER OFFICE. 08:24 AND I SAID WHO MINISTERS TO HER? AND I SAID EARLY ON, IF YOU NEED 08:31 SOMEBODY TO PRAY WITH YOU, SOMEBODY TO SLAP, I'M HERE. 08:44 [ LAUGHTER ] >> THERE ARE PEOPLE WHO BECAUSE 08:45 OF THE NATURE OF THEIR WORK ARE GIVING OUT ALL THE TIME, AND 08:50 SOMETIMES YOU NEED SOMEONE TO MINISTER TO YOU, OR TO BOUNCE AN 08:53 IDEA OFF OF. AND I HAVE ALWAYS CONSIDERED 08:56 MYSELF THAT KIND OF PERSON. >> AMEN. 08:58 >> AND HERE IT IS GOOD, BECAUSE YOU CAN TELL PEOPLE THINGS HERE 09:02 AND TRUST THAT IT IS NOT GOING TO BE ON YOUTUBE OR FACEBOOK. 09:06 WE CAN TALK AND LET OUR HAIR DOWN. 09:09 AND THAT'S THE GOOD THING ABOUT WORKING AT 3ABN. 09:12 >> IT'S A BLESSING. >> IT IS. 09:15 >> WE ALSO WANT YOU TO KNOW THAT YOU ARE PART OF THIS TEAM AS 09:21 WELL. SOME OF YOU WATCHING TONIGHT, 09:23 YOU HAVE SUPPORTED THIS MINISTRY FROM THE VERY BEGINNING. 09:28 AND THAT'S WHY TONIGHT IS GOING TO BE NEAT, BECAUSE OF YOU, YOUR 09:32 PRAYERS AND YOUR FINANCIAL SUPPORT, SOULS HAVE BEEN WON 09:38 OVER TO THE KINGDOM. >> AMEN. 09:42 >> AND SOME DAY SOON, WE'LL ALL BE ABLE TO MEET FACE-TO-FACE. 09:47 >> AMEN. PART OF MY JOB IS ANSWERING 09:51 CORRESPONDENCE THAT COMES INTO DANNY. 09:53 AND WE GET LETTERS ALL THE TIME. PEOPLE WHOSE LIVES HAVE BEEN 10:00 IMPACTED AND BLESSED AND CHANGED THROUGH THE MINISTRY OF 3ABN. 10:03 AND YOU CAN SAY THAT'S BECAUSE SOMEONE SAT BEHIND THE CHAIR OR 10:07 WAS BEHIND THE CAMERA. BUT REALLY IT IS BECAUSE GOD IS 10:12 OVER ALL. ONE PERSON PLANTS THE SEED. 10:14 SOMEONE ELSE WATERS, BUT THE HOLY SPIRIT AND GOD THAT START 10:24 IT. SO THE STARS IN YOUR CROWN 10:27 REALLY COME BECAUSE WHEN WE GET TO HEAVEN YOU ARE GOING TO BE 10:30 PART OF THE REASON THAT THESE PEOPLE ARE IN THE KINGDOM OF 10:34 HEAVEN BECAUSE OF YOU. SO THAT'S PRESSURE. 10:37 WE WANT EVERYONE TO SHARE A TESTIMONY. 10:41 AND MAYBE LAST FOR LOMACANG, LET'S START TO YOU. 10:45 YOU RECENTLY WENT TO A FUNERAL. TELL US ABOUT THAT. 10:49 >> I DON'T BELIEVE IN INADVERTENT APPOINTMENTS. 10:56 THE BIBLE TALKS ABOUT THAT GOD HAS PREAPPOINTMENTS FOR US. 11:03 AND WE HAD SOME MEETINGS ABOUT DISCIPLESHIPS, AND AFTER THAT, 11:08 AND FELLOWSHIP WITH OUR OTHER PASTORS, THE THOUGHT CAME TO MY 11:16 MIND THAT ONE OF MY PASTORS SHARED WITH ME THAT THERE WAS A 11:20 FUNERAL IN SALEM, ILLINOIS. AND HE MENTIONED WE RECEIVED AN 11:24 EMAIL. AND I RECALLED GETTING THE 11:26 EMAIL, BUT THEN HE SAID THERE WAS A LADY THERE THAT WAS GOING 11:30 TO BE EULOGIZED, AND THE CHANGE IN HER LIFE WAS LARGELY DUE TO 11:36 3ABN. AND I WENT TO THE FUNERAL ON 11:38 SUNDAY JUST TO BE -- THE CHURCH WAS PACKED IN SE -- SALEM. 11:49 AND IT WAS AMAZING TO HEAR HOW THE LORD WORKS IN AMAZING 11:56 STORIES. IT'S TOO GOOD TO BE MADE UP. 11:58 YOU HAVE GOT TO BE VERY CREATIVE TO MAKE UP SOME OF THESE 12:02 STORIES. WELL, THIS ONE WAS VERY 12:05 INTERESTING. SHE WAS MANIPULATING HER 12:08 TELEVISION ABOUT 15 YEARS AGO -- IF I RECALL THE STORY 12:12 WELL -- AND SHE HAD RABBIT EARS. YOU REMEMBER THE RABBIT EARS? 12:16 >> OH, YEAH. >> OH, YEAH. 12:18 >> SHE COULDN'T GET A CLEAR PICTURE, BUT SHE GOT THE SOUND. 12:22 AND SHE JUST LISTENED TO THE SOUND WITHOUT THE PICTURE, AND 12:26 WHAT SHE HEARD TOUCHED A CHORD IN HER HEART, AND SHE CONTINUED 12:32 LISTENING UNTIL SHE GOT THE PICTURE LATER ON. 12:35 AND I UNDERSTOOD THAT THAT CHANGED HER HEART.-SHE KNEW THAT GOD LEAD HER FROM 12:46 WHERE HE FOUND HER TO UNTIL SHE PASSED AWAY. 12:50 SHE WAS A SUPPORTER OF 3ABN. HER MEANS, SHE HAS GIVEN TO 12:55 3ABN. AND HER HUSBAND CALLED HER A 12:58 RESTROOM EVANGELIST. >> OH. 13:00 PASSING BOOKS OUT AND PAMPHLETS OR -- 13:03 >> WHEN SHE WENT TO THE RESTROOM, SHE WOULD COME OUT AND 13:09 SAY GIVE ME SOME PAMHLETS, THERE ARE SOME LADY ISES I WANT 13:15 TO MINISTER TO. [ LAUGHTER ] 13:17 >> AND EE CLEVELAND, HE SAID HIS WIFE WOULD GO TO THE REST STOPS, 13:25 AND IT WOULD TAKE HER SO LONG. AND HE SAID CAME TO FIND OUT MY 13:30 WIFE HAD FOUR LADIES UP AGAINST THE WALL WITNESSING TO THEM. 13:34 >> IN THE RESTROOM. >> HE SAID THERE WAS NO PLACE 13:37 ANYBODY COULD GO THAT WAS SAFE FROM MY WIFE. 13:40 AND THIS LADY WAS THAT SAME WAY. SHE WOULD SEE PEOPLE ACROSS THE 13:45 WAY AND WALK OVER TO THEM TO TELL THEM ABOUT JESUS AND THE 13:50 TRUTH. AND SHE SAID BECAUSE 3ABN WAS 13:52 THE CHANNEL -- I USE THAT WORD -- SHE DIDN'T USE -- BUT 13:56 THE CHANNEL THAT GOD USED TO -- TO TAKE HER FROM WHERE SHE 14:00 DOES TO UNDERSTAND THIS BEAUTIFUL TRUTH. 14:02 AND WHAT A FUNERAL IT WAS -- >> WOW. 14:04 >> -- TO BE ABLE TO SAY TO A HOST OF DIFFERENT PEOPLE THAT 14:08 WERE THERE, AND I SAID, HAVING MET ALL OF THEM FOR THE FIRST 14:12 TIME, I SAID, BECAUSE I KNOW PHYLLIS KNOX -- 14:16 >> WE HAVE A PICTURE OF HER. >> LET'S SHOW HER. 14:21 >> I THINK WHEN SHE MIGHT HAVE BEEN AT CAMP MEETING. 14:24 >> PRAISE GOD FOR THAT. WHAT A PRECIOUS LADY, I SAID 14:29 BECAUSE I KNOW PHYLLIS KNOX WAS A SEVENTH-DAY ADVENTIST 14:35 CHRISTIAN, I WANT TO TELL YOU WHAT SHE BELIEVED. 14:37 SHE IS WAITING FOR JESUS TO COME, AND HE IS GIVING ALL OF 14:42 THE FAMILY MEMBERS THE OPPORTUNITY TO MAKE THE SAME 14:45 DECISION SHE DID SO THEY CAN BE REUNITED AGAIN. 14:48 BUT THAT'S AN AMAZING STORY. THIS LADY LIVED HER LIFE NOT 14:53 JUST ACCEPTING THE TRUTH, BUT SHE DIDN'T RUN INTO A PERSON 14:58 THAT SHE DIDN'T WANT THEM TO KNOW THE TRUTH. 15:01 HER HUSBAND SAD I KNOW EXACTLY WHO YOU ARE. 15:04 HE IS NOT A BELIEVER IN THE SENSE OF THE SEVENTH-DAY 15:07 ADVENTIST BELIEVER, BUT FOR HIM TO SAY THAT WITH SUCH TENACITY, 15:12 AND HE SAID I WATCH 3ABN, AND I BELIEVE GOD IS GIVING HI TIME 15:18 TO -- I SAID THIS TO HIM, GOD IS-pGIVING YOU TIME SO YOU CAN REUNITE WITH YOUR WIFE. 15:25 >> THAT'S INTERESTING. SALEM WAS THAT ONE OF THE FIRST 15:28 ONES -- >> IT WAS THE FIRST. 15:31 >> YES. SO HERE IS AN IMPACT OF THAT 15:35 SALEM STATION WHICH I THINK MR. HOLT DONATED THOSE FUNDS, 15:42 AND HERE THIS IS LADY -- I THINK 15 YEARS AGO. 15:47 >> 15 YEARS AGO. >> AND ALL OF THE IMPACTS SHE 15:51 HAS MADE NOW. SO IT'S INTERESTING, ONE 15:56 MULTIPLIES TO MANY YEAR. >> OH, YEAH. 15:59 THAT'S THE MOST UNUSUAL PLACE TO HAVE AN EVANGELISTIC SERIES. 16:07 BUT PEOPLE WENT TO THE RESTROOM, AND SHE TOOK THSE PAMPHLETS. 16:13 AND MY WIFE CONTINUES TO REMIND ME, WHENEVER WE TRAVEL MAKE SURE 16:19 WE HAVE PAMPHLETS. SO I PLANTED SOME SEEDS SO THAT 16:25 THEY COULD REMEMBER ON BEHALF OF 3ABN, I SAID ON BEHALF OF US 16:31 ALL, WE SHARE OUR CONDOLENCES WITH YOU. 16:34 AND PRAISE GOD IF ANYBODY FROM THE KNOX FAMILY IS WATCHING, 16:37 YOUR PRAYERS ARE CONTINUING TO BE WITH YOU, BECAUSE THERE IS A 16:42 GREATER REUNION TO COME. >> WE JUST RECEIVED THIS. 16:46 THIS CAME IN AS A EMAIL. THIS LADY'S NAME IS CYNTHIA, SHE 16:53 HAS BEEN A SEVENTH-DAY ADVENTIST FOR A YEAR NOW. 16:57 AND SHE IS SHARING HER STORY THIS WEEK IN HER CHURCH. 17:04 AND HER FRIEND RECEIVED A HOME AT LAST CD. 17:11 AND SHE SAID WHY DON'T YOU LISTEN TO THIS. 17:14 AND SHE DID. AND LADY LOVE WAS SINGING 17:21 CALVARY. AND SHE SAID I STARTED CRYING 17:27 UNCONTROLLABLY. I HAD TO RETURN TO THE RESTROOM 17:29 AND REDO MY FACE BEFORE I WENT TO CHURCH. 17:32 I CONTINUED TO TEAR UP ON THE WAY TO CHURCH JUST THINKING 17:36 ABOUT CALVARY, TO BE SO LOVED THAT GOD GAVE HIS SON TO DIE 17:44 FIRST IS THE ULTIMATE GIFT. AS YOU KNOW, I LOST BOTH OF MY 17:49 CHILDREN TO DEATH. THEREFORE I KNOW HOW PAINED GOD 17:51 WAS TO HAVE TO GIVE UP HIS SON. IN THAT PLACED ME AT CHRIST'S 18:00 FEET LOOKING UP AT THE CROSS. AND SHE SAID SHE IS GOING TO 18:06 SHARE HER TESTIMONY. AND SHE ORDERED THE CD, AND WE 18:11 OVERNIGHTED IT TO HER, SO SHE COULD PLAY IT AT THE CHURCH. 18:14 SO THE MUSIC IS MINISTERING TO PEOPLE ALL OVER THE WORLD. 18:17 AND THAT'S POWERFUL. >> WE GET GOOD LETTERS ALL THE 18:22 TIME. AND I KNOW YOU HAVE QUITE A FEW, 18:25 BUT THESE LETTERS THAT COME IN. THESE ARE NOT LIKE WE'RE LOOKING 18:30 THROUGH ARCHIVES, 10, 15 YEARS AGO. 18:33 THIS IS FRESH NEW STUFF. WE GET ALL THE TIME. 18:37 AND AGAIN, WE JUST THANK YOU. ISN'T IT GREAT TO SEE HOW GOD IS 18:41 WORKING IN PEOPLE'S LIVES. >> AMEN. 18:43 >> MOLLIE WHAT DO YOU HAVE TO SHARE? 18:46 >> I'M GOING TO SHARE BOTH OF THESE. 18:50 BOTH OF THESE CAME IN MARCH. >> UH-HUH, THIS MONTH. 18:54 >> I WAS JUST THINKING ABOUT EE CLEVELAND'S LIFE, CILIA, AND 19:01 THIS WOMAN, THE ZEAL THAT THEY HAVE TO SHARE. 19:04 AND I MISS THAT. I CAN RECALL HAVING MORE ZEAL 19:07 THAN I HAVE NOW. SO WHAT I WOULD LIKE TO DO 19:10 BEFORE THIS PROGRAM IS OVER, IS IF WE COULD PRAY FOR THE LOR TO 19:15 CONSUME US, THAT WE WOULD BE THOSE WITNESSES THAT ARE -- ARE 19:18 FINING OPPORTUNITY TO -- TO SHARE WITH OTHERS. 19:20 >> AMEN. >> MY ZEAL LEVEL IS LOW. 19:25 YOU KNOW? AND I HEARD A MINISTER ASK ONE 19:28 TIME, WHICH IS MORE IMPORTANT, TO HAVE A LOT OF ZEAL, OR TO 19:31 HAVE A LOT OF WISDOM.-REMEMBER WHEN YOU FIRST MADE JESUS PART OF YOUR LIFE, YOU HAD 19:40 A LOT OF ZEAL AND NOT A LOT OF WISDOM. 19:44 AND ONE IS NOT GOOD WITHOUT THE OTHER. 19:46 IF YOU HAVE A LOT OF WISDOM, BUT YOU DON'T HAVE THE ZEAL TO SHARE 19:52 IT, WHAT GOOD DOES IT DO YOU. OKAY. 19:55 LET ME READ THSE GOOD LETTERS. JANE SAYS THANK YOU, BECAUSE OF 20:00 YOU I HAVE BEEN BAPTIZED. >> PRAISE THE LORD. 20:03 >> I LOVE SHARING THE GO EVANGELISM TOOL. 20:09 GUIDING PEOPLE TO YOUR PROGRAM IS USUALLY WHAT I DO. 20:13 SO SHE HAS SOME ZEAL AS WELL. >> SHE DOES. 20:16 >> AS WELL AS ALL OF THE TOOLS ONLINE. 20:19 SO THANK YOU FOR SHARING THAT WITH US. 20:21 AND THIS IS DOTTICE, AND SHE'S FROM MARYLAND, AND SHE SAYS I 20:27 WAS VISITING A CHURCH IN NEW YORK A FEW WEEKS AGO, AND A 20:33 LADY WAS BEING BAPTIZED. SHE SAID SHE LISTENED TO 3ABN 20:37 AND NOW IS A SEVENTH-DAY ADVENTIST. 20:40 I'M NEVER SO HAPP SPENDING MONEY AS WHEN I'M SENDING IT TO 20:45 3ABN. >> PRAISE GOD FOR YOUR MINISTRY. 20:48 KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. 20:51 APPRECIATE THAT. >> THAT'S PRECIOUS. 20:55 >> THAT'S A UNIQUE NAME. >> IT IS. 20:58 >> AND PASTOR CA, I KNOW YOU PROBABLY HAVE SO MANY STORIES, 21:04 IT'S TRYING TO PICK WHICH ONE -- I DON'T KNOW IF ANYTHING 21:09 COMES TO YOUR MIND. >> I WISH I HAD BROUGHT MY PHONE 21:11 WITH ME. THERE'S A LITTLE TEXT THAT 21:15 SOMEONE SENT ME IN ROMANIA, BUT WE'LL SAVE THAT FOR ANOTHER 21:19 TIME. TWO THINGS COME TO MIND. 21:21 WE ALL GET A LOT OF EMAILS, CORRES 21:30 CORRESPONDENCE, TEXTS FROM PEOPLE WHO RUN THE GAMBIT. 21:33 THEY CAN BE INQUIRERS, THOSE WHO ARE MAD AT WHAT WE SAID. 21:39 THERE ARE THOSE WHO HAVE CONSTRUCTIVE CRITICISM. 21:43 AND SOME JUST HAVE CRITICISM. THERE ARE THOSE WHO WANT TO 21:47 LEARN. AND THERE ARE THOSE THAT JUST 21:49 WANT TO PICK FIGHTS. AND I TRY TO ANSWER EVERY SINGLE 21:53 ONE INDIVIDUALLY. AND IF SOMEONE SENDS SOMETHING 21:58 NICE, I ALWAYS SEND THEM A CARD. I BUY THANK YOU CARDS IN BULK, 22:04 AND HAVE SENT OUT MAYBE A COUPLE THOUSAND IN THE LAST TEN YEARS 22:10 OR SO. AND I GOT AN EMAIL AND HE WAS 22:14 JUST BELLIGERENT. IF THEY ARE ARGUMENTATIVE I TEND 22:19 TO CUT IT OFF. BUT SOMETHING SAID JUST STICK 22:21 WITH THIS GUY. AND I REMEMBER SAYING TO MY 22:25 WIFE, I HAVE GOT THIS GUY WHO IS JUST BLISTERING ME, TOASTING AND 22:31 ROASTING ME, YOU ARE TEACHING ERROR, AND GIVING YOUR CHILDREN 22:35 BAD -- HE WAS JUST COMING AT ME. AND MY INITIAL THOUGHT WAS I'M 22:40 GOING TO BLOW THIS GUY OFF. I'LL GIVE HIM TWO AND THEN MOVE 22:45 ON TO SOMETHING ELSE. BUT SOMETHING SAID STAY WITH 22:47 THIS GUY. ABOUT FIVE OR SIX EMAILS IN, HE 22:50 WAS SAYING HOW HE LIKES A GOOD ARGUMENT, AND HOW WE HAVE BEEN 22:55 ARGUING AND THIS KIND OF THING. AND I SAID MAN, I HAVEN'T BEEN 23:01 ARGUING. I JUST TELL THE TRUTH AS I KNOW 23:03 IT. AND THAT SEEMED TO CHANGE HIM. 23:06 HE SAID FIRST OF ALL I HAVE NEVER TALKED TO A PASTOR BEFORE. 23:10 I THOUGHT WE WERE ARGUING. AND I SAID NO, I WAS JUST 23:16 TALKING ABOUT JESUS. AND HE TOLD ME HE USED TO BE IN 23:20 A ROCK BAND, AND HE STARTED WATCHING 3ABN SORT OF ON THE SLY 23:24 FOR THREE YEARS, AND YOU COULD TELL HE WAS UNDER CONVICTION, 23:29 AND YOU COULD TELL HE HAD WATCHED A LOT OF 3ABN BECAUSE OF 23:33 THE WAY HE WAS STRUCTURING HIS QUESTIONS. 23:36 AND NOW WE HAVE BECOME BEST QUESTIONS. 23:40 I SEND HIM EMAILS EVERY COUPLE OF DAYS, HEY, YOU HAVEN'T 23:44 WRITTEN ME FOR A WHILE. AND THE SECOND ONE WAS A LADY 23:49 WHO HAS BEEN WRITING FOR ABOUT TWO YEARS. 23:52 SHE SAID I DON'T WANT YOU TO GIVE MY NAME. 23:55 I UNDERSTAND WHAT I'M LISTENING TO AND SEEING, BUT SOMETHING HAS 24:01 ATTACKED ME TO SAY JUST PRAY FOR ME. 24:03 AND ABOUT A YEAR AGO SHE WROTE ME AGAIN, AND SHE SAID I THINK I 24:09 WANT TO VISIT AN ADVENTIST CHURCH. 24:15 CAN YOU GIVE ME THE NAME OF A CHURCH THAT IS CLOSE BY? 24:19 AND I'M EMAILED HER. AND SHE SAID I'M NOT READY TO DO 24:26 IT YET. AND THEN WE WERE GOING TO 24:29 PANAMA, AND SHE SAID I'M PUTTING MY TOE IN THEWATER. 24:33 I'M GOING TO AN ADVENTIST CHURCH. 24:36 AND THEN SHE WROTE AND SAID, MAN, I REALLY LIKE IT. 24:39 AND SHE WENT TO A CHURCH WHERE PEOPLE HANDLED HER AND LOVED HER 24:44 AND TALKED TO HER. AND THAT REALLY -- WHEN 24:48 ADVENTISM, AND THE CALL OF THE LORD IS REALLY INVASIVE. 24:53 JESUS ENTERS INTO EVERY AREA OF YOUR LIFE. 24:56 HE GOES INTO YOUR WALLET. HE GOES INTO YOUR REFRIGERATOR. 25:00 HE GOES INTO YOUR READING MATERIAL. 25:05 HE GOES INTO YOUR CD, DVD LIBRARY. 25:09 EVERY ASPECT OF LIFE, JESUS PUTS HIS HAND IN THERE, AND ASKS YOU 25:13 TO MAKE CHANGES. AND IF YOU DON'T FIND A LOVING 25:22 RELATIONSHIP, YOU WILL WANDER BACK OUT. 25:30 PEOPLE DON'T JOIN THE CHURCH ANYMORE -- FORGIVE ME I'M 25:36 TEACHING. BECAUSE THEY SAY WE HAVE THE 25:40 REMANENT. AND TRUTH WILL GET THEM IN THE 25:42 DOOR, BUT LOVE WILL KEEP THEM THERE. 25:45 I'LL LEAVE -- IF YOU TELL ME SABBATH IS THE SABBATH, AND 25:50 SUNDAY IS NOT IN THE BIBLE. THAT HITS MY HEAD. 25:54 BUT IF I GO A CHURCH OF SABBATH KEEPERS, AND NOBODY LOVES ME OR 25:59 TALKS TO ME, I'M GOING BACK TO THAT SUNDAY CHURCH WHERE I HAVE 26:03 GOT SOME FRIENDS. SO WHAT KEPT HER WAS THAT THE 26:07 FOLK LOVED HER RIGHT AWAY. SO NOW SHE'S TELLING ME, YOU 26:10 KNOW, I'M THINKING ABOUT GETTING BAPTIZED. 26:14 >> AMEN. >> AND YOU CAN SEE THE 26:19 PROGRESSION, BUT THE GLUE THAT HELD HER WAS THE LOVE OF THE 26:26 SAINTS. AND I HAVE ALWAYS SAID IF WE ARE 26:30 KIND, TENDER COMPASSIONATE, WE WOULD WIN 100, BUT WITHOUT THAT, 26:36 WE WOULD WIN ONE. >> THAT'S TRUE. 26:40 >> THIS GUY I HAVE KNOWN 40 YEARS WHEN HE HAD A BIG AFRO ON 26:44 HIS HEAD -- >> AND YOU HAD HEAD. 26:49 >> YEAH, I HAD HAIR. I USED TO PULL MY GRAY OUT TOO 26:55 GREG. SO LET IT GO. 26:56 >> I STOPPED YEARS AGO. >> AND YOU WERE HIS PASTR. 27:01 >> OH, YEAH, BACK IN THE DAY. >> AND HEADLIGHTS WERE ROUND. 27:06 [ LAUGHTER ] >> TO BE HERE AT 3ABN, WE ALL 27:09 HAVE CHALLENGES HERE TOO, BUT WE LOOK FOR THE BIG PICTURE, 27:13 MOLLIE. >> THAT'S RIGHT. 27:14 >> LOOK AT THE BIG PICTURE, LOOK AT THE BIG PICTURE. 27:20 AMEN. >> I HAVE SOMETHING HERE TOO. 27:22 THIS IS A LETTER THAT CAME IN RECENTLILY. 27:26 AND IT SAID I WAS SAVED IN 1988. MY WIFE GAVE HER LIFE TO JESUS 27:36 CHRIST ALSO. THEN HE SAYS AS YEARS WENT BY, I 27:39 BOUGHT A 3ABN SATELLITE DISH SO I COULD WATCH 3ABN PROGRAMS. 27:45 SO I WORKED AT YOUR 7TH DAY HOSPITAL HERE. 27:50 THEY HAVE 3ABN PROGRAMS IN EACH ROOM. 27:54 SO PATIENTS VISIT OUR CHURCH DUE TO THE EXPOSURE TO 3ABN. 27:59 SO I THOUGHT THAT WAS INTERESTING TOO. 28:01 BECAUSE THIS HOSPITAL HE WORKS AT, ACTUALLY PUTS PROGRAMS IN 28:05 THE HOSPITAL, AND PATIENTS COME IN AND GET EXPOSED TO 3ABN 28:12 PROGRAMS, WHICH I THINK IS HUGE. SO IT'S NEAT THAT 3ABN REACHES 28:16 IN MANY AREAS, AND I DON'T THINK UNTIL HEAVEN WILL WE TRULY KNOW 28:22 THE BIG PICTURE AND THE IMPACT. >> YOU KNOW, WE LIVE IN A LARGE 28:26 SHOPPING COMMUNITY, WAL-MART. >> WE DO. 28:29 >> I THINK WE HAVE THE LARGEST WAL-MART IN THE UNITED STATES. 28:32 >> AND THERE'S QUITE A FEW CLOSE BY. 28:36 >> YEAH, BENTON, MARION, CARBONDALE. 28:41 >> YEAH. >> BUT THERE WAS A TIME WHEN WE 28:44 WOULD WALK TO WAL-MART THAT NO ONE REALLY KNEW US. 28:49 BUT I WENT TO THE EYE GLASS SECTION, THE LADY SAID I KNOW 28:56 WHO YOU ARE. AND I WENT UP THE AISLE, AND A 29:02 GENTLEMEN -- YOU COULD TELL BY HIS ACCENT THAT WE WAS FROM THE 29:09 AREA. AND HE SAID I KNOW WHO YOU ARE. 29:11 AND ONE PERSON SAID I'M CHANGING MY BELIEFS BASED ON WHAT I HAVE 29:16 BEEN LISTENING TO THAT THERE CHANNEL. 29:20 ANOTHER GENTLEMEN FROM SOUTHERN ILLINOIS, AND I HAVE GROWN TO 29:24 APPRECIATE THE DIVERSITY OF -- OF PEOPLE HERE IN SOUTHERN 29:28 ILLINOIS, PRECIOUS INDIVIDUALS. JUST LIKE US. 29:31 WE'RE FROM NEW YORK. THEY ARE FROM SOUTHERN ILL, BUT 29:35 THE TRUTH IS MULTIPLE -- WHAT IS THE WORD I WANT TO USE HERE -- 29:40 >> MULTI-CULTURISM. >> THANK YOU. 29:43 THAT'S A GOOD TERM. IT'S NOT SPECIFIC TO ANY 29:48 INDIVIDUAL CULTURE. SO WE WOULD NOT KNOW UNTIL THAT 29:53 TRUMPET SOUNDS HOW MANY PEOPLE WILL BE ASCENDING FROM SOUTHERN 29:56 ILLINOIS. >> YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT THE 29:58 VOICE. YOU CAN TELL THEY WERE LOCAL 30:03 SOUTHERN ILLINOISERS -- >> YEAH. 30:05 >> HELEN AND I WENT TO CALIFORNIA, AND WE WERE IN 30:09 WAL-MART, OF COURSE -- >> YEAH. 30:11 >> AND WE WERE IN -- IN ONE AISLE, AND A LADY CAME RUNNING 30:16 AROUND THE AISLE, AND SHE SAID YOU ARE HALL STEENSON, AREN'T 30:21 YOU? I RECOGNIZE YOUR VOICE. 30:24 FROM WATCHING 3ABN -- AN AISLE AWAY RECOGNIZED HALL. 30:31 HE DOES HAVE A BIT OF A SOUTHERN ACCENT. 30:36 >> THAT'S TRUE. I GUESS WE COULD TRADE WAL-MART 30:41 STORIES. ONE NIGHT WE WERE AT WAL-MART 30:44 VERY, VERY LATE, AND A YOUNG MAN CAME RUNNING UP, [ INAUDIBLE ] 30:51 WITH THE FROGS. AND HE TOLD ME HE AND HIS 30:56 GRANDMOTHER WATCHED 3ABN.-AND GAVE ME SOME HISTORY ON HIS MOM AND HIS GRANDMA, AND HE SAID 31:05 WE'RE NOT YOU GUYS -- AND I SAID THAT'S ALL RIGHT. 31:10 KEEP ON WATCHING YOUNG MAN. >> AND THE LORD USES WAL-MART IN 31:18 AMAZING WAYS. WEDNESDAY NIGHT AFTER PRAYER 31:22 MEETING, ANGIE AND I WENT TO WAL-MART. 31:25 BECAUSE THURSDAY ALL OF THE ADVENTISTS GO TO WAL-MART. 31:33 >> YEAH. >> I HAVE TWO DIFFERENT 31:36 INTERESTS, MINE IS IN ELECTRONICS. 31:39 SO ANGIE GOES TO THE FRUITS AND VEGETABLES, I GO TO THE 31:44 ELECTRONICS. SO SHE CALLS ME AND SAID I'M 31:48 READY. AND I SAID WAIT ONE SECOND. 31:51 AND AS I GO BACK THERE, A GUY WALKS STRAIGHT UP TO ME AND HE 31:56 SAYS WHAT DO YOU HAVE TO TELL ME? 32:01 AND I SAID WHO ARE YOU? HE SAID MY NAME IS BILL STERN. 32:07 I WAS WALKING OUT THE DOOR AND THE LORD SAID GO BACK TO 32:12 ELECTRONICS, THERE IS SOMEBODY BACK THERE THAT HAS SOMETHING TO 32:15 TELL YOU. AND HE SAID YOU ARE THAT GUY ON 32:19 3ABN PASTOR -- LOW -- YEAH, LOMACANG. 32:24 HE SAID WHAT DO YOU HAVE TO TELL ME? 32:27 I SAID WELL, LET ME INVITE YOU TO OUR CHURCH. 32:31 AND HE IS STILL HERE. >> THAT'S RIGHT. 32:33 >> SO GOD MAKES THESE APPOINTMENTS THAT YOU WONDER, 32:37 WHAT WOULD HAVE HAPPENED IF I WENT ON THURSDAY. 32:40 THE LORD HAD AN APPOINTMENT. PHILIP IN THE BIBLE MEANS LOVER 32:47 OF HORSES. NOW I KNOW WHY, HE HAD THIS 32:50 ROYAL STEED, AND HE LOVES HORSES. 32:53 AND GOD SAID GO OUT TO THE DESERT, AND AMAZINGLY ETHIOPIA 32:58 IS THE SECOND PLACE IN THE WORLD WHERE THE SABBATH HAS BEEN KEPT 33:03 AS LONG AS IT HAS BEEN -- >> ON A CONTINUAL BASIS, YEAH. 33:08 >> WE TELL THESE STORIES TO GIVE GOD THE GLORY, BUT WE ALSO WANT 33:13 TO SHARE THEM WITH YOU, BECAUSE I CAN'T EMPHASIZE ENOUGH, THANK 33:18 YOU. IT IS BECAUSE OF THEM DONATING, 33:20 MOLLIE, THAT THE LIGHTS ARE ON, WE CAN RUN THE CAMERAS, THE 33:25 SIGNAL GOES OUT AROUND THE WORLD, EVEN AS WE SLEEP AT 33:30 NIGHT. WE MENTIONED EARLIER THAT WE 33:32 HAVE A PHONE CALL THAT WE WANT TO GO TO, SO WHAT WE'RE GOING TO 33:35 DO RIGHT NOW IS GO TO THE MUSIC, AND THEN DURING THE MUSIC, WE'RE 33:40 GOING TO SET UP THIS PHONE CALL, SO WHEN WE COME OUT OF THE 33:44 MUSIC, WE'RE GOING TO TALK TO -- GIVE US HER NAME. 33:51 >> HER NAME IS [ INAUDIBLE ] FRANCIS BLAIR. 33:59 YOU CAN FIND OUT ABOUT HER AFTER THE MUSIC. 34:05 AND WE HAVE JAIME JORGE WITH US. AND THE SONG HE IS GOING TO DO 34:14 IS "LOVE LIFTED ME". ♪ 34:56 ♪ 36:32 ♪ >> THANK YOU JAIME JORGE FOR 37:37 THAT WONDERFUL MUSIC. THE LORD HAS GIVEN HIM 37:42 TREMENDOUS TALENT. "LOVE LIFTED ME" A GREAT SONG. 37:48 THERE IS ALWAYS TECHNICAL DIFFICULTIES. 37:51 WE HAVE EXPERIENCED THAT. WE SAID WE WERE GOING TO THE 37:55 PHONE CALL AFTER THE SONG, BUT WE'RE STILL WORKING ON THAT. 37:59 SO BEAR WITH US. WE'LL HOPEFULLY BE ABLE TO GET 38:03 IN TOUCH WITH HYACINTH, BUT WE HAVE A PITCH AS TO WHAT IS GOING 38:10 TO HAPPEN NEXT THURSDAY. WE HAVE TONIGHT, BUT NEXT 38:13 THURSDAY WE HAVE SOMETHING SPECIAL WITH ELDER WILSON, YOUR 38:16 PART WITH THE TOTAL MEMBER INVOLVEMENT WITH ROMANIA. 38:20 SO TELL US WHAT IS GOING TO HAPPEN NEXT THURSDAY NIGHT. 38:23 >> WE'RE HOPING WE CAN PULL THIS OFF. 38:26 AS WE ALL KNOW, IN THAT PART OF THE UNITED STATES RIGHT NOW, 38:29 THEY ARE UNDERGOING A TERRIFIC -- A TERRIFIC SNOW 38:34 STORM. [ LAUGHTER ] 38:35 >> UH-HUH. >> IT'S STRETCHING FROM THE 38:38 CAROLINAS ALL THE WAY UP TO -- >> NEW ENGLAND. 38:41 >> TO MAINE, AND THEY ARE TALKING LARGE AMOUNTS OF SNOW, 38:47 10, 12 -- 2 FEET IN SOMEPLACES IN PENNSYLVANIA. 38:50 SO WE'RE HOPING QUESTION GET THIS DONE, BUT WE'RE VERY 38:55 EXCITED BECAUSE IT'S AS THOUGH THE LORD POURED OUT HIS SPIRIT 38:59 ON A NUMBER OF MINISTRIES, AS DANNY WAS REFOCUSING THIS 39:05 MINISTRY IN 2015, 2016 ON EVANGELISM, THAT SAME SPIRIT WAS 39:13 BEING POURED ON THE CONFERENCE. AND THEY PRAYED AND CAME UP WITH 39:18 THE IDEA OF TOTAL MEMBER INVOLVEMENT. 39:21 THE IDEA THAT EVERY MEMBER OUGHT TO BE DOING SOMETHING ABOUT THE 39:30 LORD. AND IT WAS THIS IDEA THA 39:33 EVERYBODY CAN DO SOMETHING FOR THE LORD. 39:34 >> UH-HUH. >> THERE IS SOMETHING YOU CAN DO 39:38 IF YOU CANNOT EVEN LEAVE YOUR HOUSE. 39:40 I REMEMBER YEARS AGO THERE WAS A WOMAN THAT I HAD A CHANCE TO 39:45 INTERVIEW IN NEW YORK. SHE COULD NOT WALK, AND HER 39:48 STORY WAS, I CANNOT WALK, BUT I CAN WITNESS. 39:53 AND SHE WOULD TAKE HER POWER WHEELCHAIR EVERY DAY TO THE 39:59 SUBWAY ENTRANCE AND PASS OUT PAMPHLETS. 40:02 IT WAS THAT SORT OF THING THAT STARTED TOTAL MEMBER 40:07 INVOLVEMENT. SO THEY HAVE THESE LARGE 40:11 CAMPAIGNS, THEY BRING LARGE NUMBERS OF INDIVIDUALS TO A 40:13 DESIGNATED COUNTRY, AND A NUMBER OF MEETINGS ARE HELD. 40:17 WE JUST GOT BACK FROM A MEETING IN ROMANIA. 40:19 SO WE'RE GOING TO BE GOING TO THE GENERAL CONFERENCE. 40:31 WE'LL ALL BE MEETING THERE. OUR OWN DIRECTOR OF EVANGELISM 40:36 WILL MAN THE CHAIR THAT YOU SIT IN CURRENTLY AND WILL BE 40:44 PITCHING BACK AND FORTH. WE'RE VERY EXCITED TO HEAR HOW 40:47 THIS IS IMPACTING THE CHURCH. I WILL SAY THIS ON A PARALLEL 40:52 TRAIN, IF YOU LOOK AT THE GROWTH OF THE CHURCH -- IF YOU LOOK AT 40:57 THE GROWTH OF THE CHURCH FROM ITS INCEPTION TO ABOUT 1980, YOU 41:03 SEE STEADY AND VERY IMPRESSIVE GROWTH, BUT SOMEWHERE ABOUT 41:09 MID-1980, THE -- THE TRAJECTORY JUST ZOOMED UPWARD. 41:14 WE HAVE GROWN IN THE LAST 20, 30 YEARS AT AN EXPONENTIAL RATE. 41:20 THE CHURCH HAS JUST PASSED 20 MILLION. 41:23 >> WOW. >> EXPONENTIAL GROWTH. 41:25 AND I BELIEVE THAT TIME WILL SHOW THAT TELEVISION WAS 41:30 INSTRUMENTAL IN THAT GROWTH, AND 3ABN WAS INSTRUMENTAL IN OUR 41:34 PRESENCE ON TELEVISION. WE ARE 32 YEARS OLD. 41:37 >> YES. >> THERE IS NO CHANNEL THAT IS 41:39 MORE THAN 15. SO WE HAD A 20-YEAR HEAD START 41:43 ON MOST OF THE CHANNELS, AND THAT UP TICK IN THE BAPTISMS, I 41:48 THINK IS DIRECTLY PROPORTIONAL, OR RELATIONAL TO OUR ENTRANCE 41:55 INTO TV IN A BIG WAY. 24/7 TELEVISION WAS A 42:00 CONSEQUENCE OF WHAT HAPPENED IN THIS PART OF THE COUNTRY IN 1984 42:04 AND 1985, AND YOU CAN SEE IT IN THE GROWTH NUMBERS OF THE 42:08 SEVENTH-DAY ADVENTIST TO THE EXTENT THAT EVERYWHERE WE GO IN 42:12 THE WORLD PEOPLE ARE SAYING, OH, YES, WE WATCH 3ABN. 42:17 >> SOMEONE TOLD US SOME YEARS AGO THAT WE WERE THE LARGEST 42:21 CHRISTIAN TELEVISION NETWORK IN THE WORLD. 42:22 YOU KNOW THAT WOULDN'T BE TRUE IN THE -- IN THE FACT THAT THERE 42:27 ARE OTHER LARGER CHRISTIAN TELEVISION NETWORKS, BUT THEY 42:30 WENT ON TO EXPLAIN, NO, IT'S YOUR FOOTPRINT. 42:34 YOUR FOOTPRINT IS THE LARGEST, 24/7. 42:37 SOME OF THOSE OTHER TELEVISION NETWORKS ARE LARGER THAN US. 42:42 AND THEY SURE HAVE A LOT MORE MONEY AND RESOURCES AND SO 42:46 FORTH, BUT THEY ARE ONLY ON SO MANY HOURS A DAY, AND -- IN 42:52 VARIOUS PORTIONS OF THE WORLD, WHEREAS 3ABN'S FOOTPRINT IS 42:59 24/7. SO THAT DID MAKE SENSE. 43:01 AND YOU KNOW THAT WE HERE IN SOUTHERN ILLINOIS, IN THE CORN 43:07 FIELD, WE -- ONLY GOD COULD HAVE DONE THAT. 43:10 AND GOD DIDN'T PUT US OUT THERE FOR THE MESSAGE TO GO FORTH AND 43:16 NOT RETURN VOICE. SO PRAISE GOD. 43:18 >> AMEN. >> THAT SOULS ARE BEING REACHED 43:21 AND PEOPLE ARE COMING INTO THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE LORD JESUS 43:25 CHRIST AS WELL AS THESE PRECIOUS TRUTHS THAT GOD HAS ENTRUSTED TO 43:29 THE ADVENTIST CHURCH. >> YEAH. 43:32 I TOOK A DETOUR, I NEED TO COME BACK HOME. 43:36 NEXT THURSDAY DURING THIS TIME SLOT WE'LL BE COMING TO YOU FROM 43:42 THE GENERAL CONFERENCE WITH OUR GENERAL CONFERENCE PRESIDENT, 43:45 AND WE'LL BE TALKING ABOUT EVANGELISM, TMI, AND THIS RECENT 43:51 WONDERFUL MOVE OF GOD IN ROMANIA, AND THE HUNDRED 43:55 THOUSAND PEOPLE THAT WERE BAPTIZED LAST YEAR IN RWANDA. 43:59 SO GOD IS DOING GREAT THINGS FOR THE SEVENTH-DAY ADVENTIST CHURCH-AND THE WORLD THROUGH THE 44:04 SEVENTH-DAY ADVENTIST CHURCH. WE'LL TALK ABOUT THAT NEXT 44:06 THURSDAY. >> AMEN. 44:07 THANK YOU SO MUCH, PASTOR. >> YEAH, MARK IT ON YOUR 44:11 CALENDAR. >> WE ARE BLESSED AS MEMBERS 44:13 WITH THE LEADERSHIP OF ELDER TED WILSON, AND WE APPRECIATE AND 44:20 SUPPORT HE AND HIS WIFE NANCY, AND WE'RE EXCITED TO PARTNER 44:25 TOGETHER AND BRING YOU THIS PROGRAM NEXT WEEK. 44:27 SPEAKING OF EVANGELISM, AND THE EVANGELISTIC EFFORTS HERE AT 44:32 3ABN, WE HAVE ONE OF OUR OWN WHO OFTEN SITS BEHIND THE SCENES 44:35 WITH US, THAT WOULD BE OUR OWN SHELLEY QUINN, AND SHE OFTEN IS 44:39 ON THE PROGRAM. AND SHE CANNOT BE WITH US HERE 44:42 ON THE SET, BECAUSE SHE IS IN THE MIDDLE OF HER OWN 44:46 EVANGELISTIC SERIES. BUT WE'RE ABLE TO GET HER ON THE 44:49 PHONE, I BELIEVE. AND SHELLEY ARE YOU HERE WITH 44:53 US? >> I AM HERE, AND I'M EXCITED TO 44:57 BE WITH YOU. >> WELCOME. 44:59 HOW ARE THE EVNGELISTIC SERIES GOING? 45:02 >> THERE IS NO DOUBT THAT THE BLESSING IS ON THE GO!. 45:07 I'M BEING DOUBLY BLESSED.

I KNOW YOU ARE THERE WITH YOUR 47:16 HUSBAND J.D., AND WE'LL CONTINUE TO PRAY FOR YOU AND THE 47:20 EVANGELISTIC SERIES THERE. AND IT'S NEAT TO SEE HOW THE 47:25 LORD IS USING YOU. >> THANK YOU. 47:27 IT'S SUCH A BLESSING TO BE USED. AND I WANT TO ENCOURAGE ALL OF 47:32 OUR VIEWERS, WE CAN ALL DO SOMETHING. 47:36 WE CAN GIVE A CUP OF WATER TO SOMEONE IN THE NAME OF JESUS. 47:39 WE -- WE JUST -- I -- YOU KNOW, I -- WE WEE WATCHING -- WE 47:44 HAVEN'T SEEN ANY TVS SINCE WE HAVE BEEN HERE. 47:46 IN FACT I HAVEN'T BEEN OUT OF THE ROOM EXCEPT TO THE CHURCH, 47:50 BECAUSE I HAVE BEEN VERY BUSY, BUT BEFORE WE LEFT, ONE EVENING 47:53 WE WERE WATCHING TELEVISION, AND I TOLD J.D. AFTER WATCHING THE 47:58 NEWS, I SAID THIS IS SO DEPRESSING TO SEE WHAT IS GOING 48:01 ON IN THE WORLD, TH PAIN AND SUFFERING, BUT I SAID THIS MEANS 48:06 WE SHOULD BE LOOKING UP, BECAUSE OUR REDEMPTION IS DRAWING NEAR. 48:12 AND I'M THINKING HOW MANY MOE GOOD YEARS DO I HAVE TO SERVE 48:16 THE LORD? AND IT'S SUCH A BLESSING TO BE 48:19 PART OF THE 3ABN TEAM. TO GET UP EVERY DAY AND HAVE 48:23 PURPOSE IN OUR LIVES. BUT EVERYONE HAS THAT PURPOSE. 48:27 GOD WANTS US TO BE WALKING MEMORIALS TO HIS FAITHFULNESS 48:32 AND LOVE, AND THEN AS WE GO OUT AND SHARE, WE CAN ENCOURAGE 48:36 OTHERS, SO WE CAN FINISH THIS WORK. 48:39 >> AMEN.
