00:02:36.58\00:02:40.52
BROTHER KENNY SHELTON.
YOU GUYS HAVE BEEN WITH 3ABN
00:02:40.52\00:02:44.29
FOREVER, SO I'M SO GLAD YOU ARE
HERE TODAY, BROTHER, AND YOU ARE
00:02:44.29\00:02:49.03
HEALTHY AND DOING WELL. >> AMEN.
00:02:49.03\00:02:51.43
>> SITTING NEXT TO
YOU IS DR. CA MURRAY.
00:02:51.43\00:02:57.37
AND WE'RE GLAD YOU
ARE A PART OF THE FAMILY.
00:02:57.37\00:03:00.48
HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN? >>
CAME JANUARY OF '05, SO JUST
00:03:00.48\00:03:05.71
THE SAME LENGTH
OF TIME AS SHELLEY.
00:03:05.71\00:03:08.55
>> SO WE GOT THE TWO
GOLD NUGGETS AT ONE TIME.
00:03:08.55\00:03:12.85
ALL RIGHT. WONDERFUL.
00:03:12.85\00:03:13.72
AND THEN WE HAVE THE
YOUNGEST FOLK UP HERE.
00:03:13.72\00:03:17.39
GREG AND JILL, BUT THEY HAVE
BEEN HERE THE LEAST AMOUNT OF
00:03:17.39\00:03:21.43
TIME. GREG HOW
LONG HAVE YOU BEEN WITH
00:03:21.43\00:03:24.43
3ABN? >> I GAME IN
SEPTEMBER 27, 1999.
00:03:24.43\00:03:28.07
SO JUST PAST MY
18TH YEAR. >> 18 YEARS.
00:03:28.07\00:03:31.44
NOW YOU WEREN'T
MARRIED WHEN YO CAME?
00:03:31.44\00:03:34.48
>> THAT'S RIGHT. I
CAME AS A SINGLE MAN,
00:03:34.48\00:03:39.98
WANDERING AROUND
TRYING TO FIND A GREAT LADY.
00:03:39.98\00:03:43.49
AND JILL HAS BEEN HERE 15 YEARS,
BECAUSE WE HAVE BEEN MARRIED 15
00:03:43.49\00:03:48.09
YEAR. >> WHAT A
BLESSING BOTH OF YOU
00:03:48.09\00:03:52.36
ARE. BUT WE WANT
TO SHARE THIS BRAND
00:03:52.36\00:03:54.86
NEW INTRO. AND YOU WERE KIND OF
00:03:54.86\00:04:02.10
INSTRUMENTAL ON THAT? >>
YES, AND IT WAS FUN TO DO.
00:04:02.10\00:04:09.48
WE HAVE A COUPLE
OF FAMILY MEMBERS --
00:04:09.48\00:04:13.05
>> WE KEPT THE FOCUS
OF MENDING BROKEN PEOPLE.
00:04:13.05\00:04:15.95
>> ABSOLUTELY. >>
AND WHEN WE STARTED THIS,
00:04:15.95\00:04:22.09
YVONNE, ONE OF MY GOALS WAS THAT
WE COULD BE INSTRUMENTAL, TO
00:04:22.09\00:04:30.67
MEND BROKEN PEOPLE. WHAT
I FOUND OUT OVER THE YEARS
00:04:30.67\00:04:34.47
3ABN HAS DONE
THAT VERY THING FOR ME.
00:04:34.47\00:04:36.34
>> AMEN. >> THERE
IS TIMES I HAVE BEEN
00:04:36.34\00:04:41.18
BROKEN AND NEEDED MENDING, AND
THEY HAVE BEEN HERE FOR ME, AND
00:04:41.18\00:04:44.61
OF COURSE, THROUGH THE POWER
AND THE ANOINTING OF THE HOLY
00:04:44.61\00:04:50.52
SPIRIT, BUT IT'S A SUCH A
BLESSING TO BE INVOLVED IN THE
00:04:50.52\00:04:54.26
MINISTRY. YOU
HAVE BEEN HERE HOW MANY
00:04:54.26\00:04:56.99
YEARS? >> SINCE 2010.
00:04:56.99\00:04:58.46
THE TIME HAS FLOWN BY. IT
HAS JUST BEEN WONDERFUL TO
00:04:58.46\00:05:03.57
CONTINUALLY SEE BLESSINGS
OF GOD ON THIS MINISTRY.
00:05:03.57\00:05:10.17
>> WE CALL HER MISS DARE TO
DREAM, AS GENERAL MANAGER OF
00:05:10.17\00:05:13.88
DARE TO DREAM. AND
WHAT A GREAT JOB YOU AND
00:05:13.88\00:05:17.31
JASON ARE DOING.
>> PRAISE THE LORD.
00:05:17.31\00:05:19.81
>> WE PRAISE THE LORD FOR YOU.
SO THIS IS NOT LIKE THE 30TH
00:05:19.81\00:05:25.05
ANNIVERSARY, OR
THE 35TH OR THE 25TH.
00:05:25.05\00:05:30.19
WE WANT TO TALK TODAY.
WE'LL GIVE YOU A LITTLE BIT OF
00:05:30.19\00:05:34.10
HISTORY, BUT WE MET AS A GROUP,
AND WE DECIDED WHAT IS MUCH MORE
00:05:34.10\00:05:38.77
IMPORTANT -- THOUGH HISTORY IS
IMPORTANT -- WHAT IS MUCH MORE
00:05:38.77\00:05:42.57
IMPORTANT THAN THE HISTRY, HOW
WE GOT STARTED AND ALL OF THAT,
00:05:42.57\00:05:46.57
IS WHAT IS HAPPENING TODAY AT
THE PRESENT, AND WHAT IS GOING
00:05:46.57\00:05:50.25
TO BE HAPPENING, WHAT WE PROJECT
FOR THE FUTURE, OUR GOALS, OUR
00:05:50.25\00:05:54.72
MISSION FOR 3ABN, AND I'M
THANKFUL TO SAY THAT A LOT OF
00:05:54.72\00:05:58.72
TIMES YOU WANT TO CHANGE, RIGHT?
IF YOU ARE IN BUSINESS, YOU WANT
00:05:58.72\00:06:02.12
TO CHANGE, BUT WHEN IT COMES TO
FOCUSING ON THE GOSPEL, TRUTH IS
00:06:02.12\00:06:07.60
TRUTH, AND TIME SHOULDN'T CHANGE
THAT, BUT BECAUSE OF CULTURE AND
00:06:07.60\00:06:13.27
POLITICS AND BECAUSE OF CERTAIN
RELIGIONS, ALL KINDS OF THINGS
00:06:13.27\00:06:16.77
THAT ENTER IN TO GET PEOPLE
GOING THIS WAY OR GOING THAT
00:06:16.77\00:06:20.48
WAY, AND SO THE DEVIL DOESN'T
CARE AS TERESA BOOT USED TO SAY,
00:06:20.48\00:06:26.15
WHAT SIDE OF THE BOAT WE FALL
OUT OF, JUST AS LONG AS WE FALL
00:06:26.15\00:06:30.55
OUT. SO WE WANT
TO LET YOU KNOW, AND
00:06:30.55\00:06:32.69
WE WANT TO THANK YOU FOR YOUR
LOVE AND PRAYERS AND FINANCIAL
00:06:32.69\00:06:36.59
SUPPORT OF 3ABN. THAT
33 YEARS LATER -- BECAUSE
00:06:36.59\00:06:39.96
WHEN THIS FIRST GAME, I WENT TO
BROTHER KENNY THE NEXT MORNING.
00:06:39.96\00:06:44.20
BROTHER KENNY SAID LET'S DO IT.
LET'S START A MINISTRY TOGETHER.
00:06:44.20\00:06:49.24
SO HE JUMPED ON BOARD.
IT SEEMS LIKE I WENT THE
00:06:49.24\00:06:54.68
FOLLOWING DAY TO MISS MOLLIE AND
HAL STEENSON, THEY HAD PROBABLY
00:06:54.68\00:07:00.92
THE FASTEST GROWING CHURCH
IN SOUTHERN ILLINOIS, AND HUGE
00:07:00.92\00:07:04.69
FACILITY, SO I WENT TO
THEM AND TALKED TO THEM.
00:07:04.69\00:07:07.66
THEY DIDN'T KNOW THAT
LATER THEY WOULD JUMP ON BOARD.
00:07:07.66\00:07:10.93
BUT THEY WERE INSTRUMENTAL IN
HELPING ME WITH THE FAITH THAT I
00:07:10.93\00:07:16.67
NEEDED TO GET STARTED.
AND ONE EVENT AFTER ANOTHER
00:07:16.67\00:07:23.47
AFTER ANOTHER THAT AFTER SO MANY
THINGS HAPPEN, COINCIDENCE IS
00:07:23.47\00:07:27.24
RULED OUT, AND WE ONLY
BELIEVE IN DIVINE PROVIDENCE.
00:07:27.24\00:07:32.91
SO I WAS INSPIRED TO BUILD
A STATION THAT WOULD REACH THE
00:07:32.91\00:07:42.19
WORLD. I HAD NO
IDEA THAT 33 YEARS
00:07:42.19\00:07:45.19
LATER, WE WOULD BE HERE
DOING WHAT WE ARE DOING.
00:07:45.19\00:07:48.40
WHEN GOD IMPRESSES YOU TO DO
SOMETHING AS YOU GO FORWARD, HE
00:07:48.40\00:07:52.60
WILL BLESS YOUR GOING -- YOUR
GOING FORTH, AND SO THAT'S WHAT
00:07:52.60\00:07:56.97
WE DID. >> AND TO
ME THERE ARE SO MANY
00:07:56.97\00:08:00.48
LESSONS IN THAT, BECAUSE FOR
ONE THING IF GOD TELLS YOU TO DO
00:08:00.48\00:08:04.85
SOMETHING, AND YOU JUST SIT
ON IT, I MEAN, WHAT WOULD HAVE
00:08:04.85\00:08:08.58
HAPPENED HAD YOU NOT OBEYED?
WE WOULDN'T HAVE 3ABN, BUT GOD
00:08:08.58\00:08:12.85
GAVE YOU THAT VISION, AND YOU
OBEYED HIM, BECAUSE OF BLESSING
00:08:12.85\00:08:17.73
IS ON THE GO!. THAT'S
ONE THING, I THINK THAT
00:08:17.73\00:08:20.23
SO MANY THINGS CHANGE IN
SOCIETY, BUT GOD'S PRINCIPLES
00:08:20.23\00:08:24.83
DON'T. >> THAT'S RIGHT.
00:08:24.83\00:08:25.80
>> AND 3ABN HAS STOOD ON THE
PRINCIPLES OF GOD ALL OF THIS
00:08:25.80\00:08:30.81
TIME, AND GOD
CONTINUES TO BLESS.
00:08:30.81\00:08:32.67
BUT YOU STARTED AS A CARPENTER,
AND THAT WAS THE THIRD THING I
00:08:32.67\00:08:36.78
WAS GOING TO SAY YOU STARTED
AS A CAR -- CARPENTER, AND THAT
00:08:36.78\00:08:44.72
LETS PEOPLE KNOW THAT GOD WILL
EQUIP YOU TO DO EVERYTHING THAT
00:08:44.72\00:08:47.66
NEEDS TO BE DONE,
AND HE DID THAT WITH YOU.
00:08:47.66\00:08:49.99
>> AMEN. >> WHEN
-- WHEN YOU FIRST
00:08:49.99\00:08:53.40
STARTED SPEAKING, HOW DID
YOU -- HOW DID YOU GO FROM
00:08:53.40\00:08:56.90
BEING -- LIKE THE CARPENTER
TO FEELING AS THOUGH YOU COULD
00:08:56.90\00:09:01.77
REALLY -- YOU COULD
REALLY MANAGE A NETWORK?
00:09:01.77\00:09:04.84
A TELEVISION NETWORK? >>
WELL, I -- I HAVE TALKED A
00:09:04.84\00:09:09.88
LOT, AND MY BROTHER WILL
PROBABLY TELL YOU, I HAVE TALKED
00:09:09.88\00:09:15.32
MY WHOLE LIFE.
BECAUSE I AM THE YOUNGEST OF
00:09:15.32\00:09:19.55
FOUR BOTHERS, AND ONE TIME
WE WERE IN CALIFORNIA AFTER 3ABN
00:09:19.55\00:09:22.99
STARTED AS WE WERE IN LOMA
LINDA, AND I WAS SPEAKING TO A
00:09:22.99\00:09:27.60
LARGE CROWD, AND AFTER IT WAS
OVER, SOMEONE CAME UP TO RONNIE
00:09:27.60\00:09:32.47
WHO WAS RUNNING CAMERA, AND
HE SAID WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT
00:09:32.47\00:09:36.07
YOUR BROTHER SPEAKING LIKE
THAT?-HE DIDN'T SEEM NERVOUS
ABOUT IT.-AND RONNIE SAID, ALL I
00:09:36.07\00:09:47.65
CAN SAY IS I THANK THE LORD THAT
ALL OF THIS HOT AIR THAT I GREW
UP WITH, HAS TURNED INTO
00:09:47.65\00:09:52.39
SOMETHING. DANNY WAS ALWAYS
TALKING OR SINGING HIS WHOLE
00:09:52.39\00:09:56.09
LIFE THEY SAID I WAS A HAPPY
KID. MY DAD SAID IT WAS BECAUSE
00:09:56.09\00:10:02.10
I DIDN'T HAVE MUCH SENSE,
BUT I REALLY STRUGGLED WITH THE
00:10:02.10\00:10:07.30
TALKING IN PUBLIC, WHEN TOMMY
AND KAY, MELODY'S MOTHER WHO WAS
00:10:07.30\00:10:15.11
KILLED IN THE AUTOMOBILE
ACCIDENT, WHEN SHE AND I AND
00:10:15.11\00:10:19.88
TOMMY STARTED THE SHELTON TRIO
IN ABOUT 1969 OR '70, SO MY LOVE
00:10:19.88\00:10:26.35
AND KENNY -- WE WERE
CARPENTERS, BUT IT WAS BALL.
00:10:26.35\00:10:31.56
WE PLAYED 100-SOME GAMES A YEAR.
PROFESSIONALS ONLY PLAY 160, BUT
00:10:31.56\00:10:40.10
WE FOUND TIME TO PLAY 100 GAMES
A SEASON, AND IN THE WINTER WE
00:10:40.10\00:10:47.41
WOULD PLAY BASKETBALL. WE
HAVE A LARGE GROUP AND THEN
00:10:47.41\00:10:50.71
OUR FRIENDS, SO MY
FOCUS WAS REALLY ON THAT.
00:10:50.71\00:10:55.15
I GOT MARRIED AT A
YOUNG AGE, 19 YEARS OLD.
00:10:55.15\00:10:59.95
HAD MELODY WITHIN A YEAR AND
A HALF, AND HAD A SMALL FAMILY.
00:10:59.95\00:11:04.89
I COULD TALK, BUT FINALLY I SAID
OKAY, I LOVE GOSPEL MUSIC, AND
00:11:04.89\00:11:11.30
SINGING, AND SINGING WITH MY
WIFE KAY AT THE TIME, AND TOMMY,
00:11:11.30\00:11:14.67
THIS IS GREAT.
WE'LL GO OUT AND DO IT.
00:11:14.67\00:11:17.44
WE WOULD GO IN FRONT OF THE
AUDIENCE, AND TOMMY WOULD DO AL
00:11:17.44\00:11:20.91
OF THE TALKING. NOW
THOSE OF YOU WHO KNOW TOMMY,
00:11:20.91\00:11:25.98
YOU WOULD CONSIDER
HIM QUIETER. [ LAUGHTER ]
00:11:25.98\00:11:29.92
>> ALL RIGHT. YOU
DON'T HAVE TO LAUGH THAT
00:11:29.92\00:11:32.05
HARD. BUT OF THE
TWO OF US, TOMMY IS
00:11:32.05\00:11:35.59
MUCH QUIETER, BUT HE
DID ALL OF THE TALKING.
00:11:35.59\00:11:39.79
SO WE WOULD SING, AND HE WOULD
TALK, AND FINALLY, HE WOULD SAY,
00:11:39.79\00:11:45.40
DANNY, WHAT IS ON
YOUR HEART TONIGHT?
00:11:45.40\00:11:48.80
GIVE A TESTIMONY. AND I
WOULD LOOK AT OUT AT THE
00:11:48.80\00:11:52.44
AUDIENCE LIKE A DEER IN THE
HEADLIGHTS AND I WOULD SAY, I
00:11:52.44\00:11:56.34
LOVE THE LORD TONIGHT AND WE
WOULD LIKE TO SING AND THEN WE
00:11:56.34\00:12:01.02
WOULD GIVE -- THAT'S
ABOUT ALL I COULD SAY.
00:12:01.02\00:12:03.95
AND THERE WAS A REASON FOR THAT.
I REALLY DIDN'T HAVE ANYTHING TO
00:12:03.95\00:12:08.09
SAY. >> THAT'S DEEP.
00:12:08.09\00:12:08.96
>> I REALLY DIDN'T
HAVE ANYTHING TO SAY.
00:12:08.96\00:12:11.76
SO ANYTHING ELSE
WOULD HAVE BEEN A PHONY.
00:12:11.76\00:12:14.56
RIGHT? THERE WAS NOTHING TO SAY.
00:12:14.56\00:12:16.23
AFTER 3ABN, AND I SAW GOD
PERFORM SO MANY MIRACLES, IT'S
00:12:16.23\00:12:22.94
LIKE -- SHELLEY KNOWS WHAT I
AM TALKING ABOUT, IS THIS ALL OF
00:12:22.94\00:12:27.31
THE TIME I HAVE GOT
LEFT? I HAVE SO MUCH TO SAY
00:12:27.31\00:12:30.85
THAT -- ALL OF YOU -- EVERY ONE
OF YOU ARE THAT WAY THAT SPEAK.
00:12:30.85\00:12:35.65
SO WHAT I WAS LACKING WAS
THE RELATIONSHIP WITH THE LORD.
00:12:35.65\00:12:40.66
>> UH-HUH. >> SO THAT
00:12:40.66\00:12:42.22
WAS -- BECAUSE -- THERE WERE
TIMES -- AND I'LL ADMIT THAT OUR
00:12:42.22\00:12:46.39
GOSPEL SINGING -- WE HAD A FLEX
BUS, 1948 DIESEL, IF YOU CAN
00:12:46.39\00:12:53.87
IMAGINE THAT, AND WE THOUGHT WE
WERE IN TALL COTTON, YOU KNOW,
00:12:53.87\00:12:58.87
HAVING THIS OLD BUS,
BUT WE WOULD GO AROUND AND
00:12:58.87\00:13:02.51
TRAVEL -- DECOULD DO
SEVERAL HUNDRED MILES AND TRAVEL
00:13:02.51\00:13:06.55
WEEKENDS. AND
THERE WAS TIMES WHEN THAT
00:13:06.55\00:13:09.48
GOSPEL SINGING GOT IN MY WAY,
BECAUSE IT GOT IN THE WAY OF MY
00:13:09.48\00:13:14.99
SOFTBALL
TOURNAMENTS. AND KENNY KNOWS.
00:13:14.99\00:13:18.23
[ LAUGHTER ] >> AND
THE BASKETBALL GAMES, BUT
00:13:18.23\00:13:21.10
YOU KNOW WHAT, I
CONSIDER MYSELF A CHRISTIAN.
00:13:21.10\00:13:24.17
I WAS A SEVENTH-DAY ADVENTIST.
KENNY AND I -- A LOT OF THE
00:13:24.17\00:13:29.64
OTHER GUYS WOULD GO OUT
AND DRINK BEER, AND THEY WOULD
00:13:29.64\00:13:33.61
DO -- SOME OF THEM WOULD SMOKE
DURING THE GAMES AND USE BAD
00:13:33.61\00:13:38.65
LANGUAGE, BUT SOMEHOW, WE --
WE DIDN'T DO THOSE THINGS, SO
00:13:38.65\00:13:43.52
SOMEHOW YOU KIND OF THE YOU ARE
IN A DIFFERENT POSITION, AND I
00:13:43.52\00:13:48.72
DIDN'T REALIZE HOW
MUCH I WAS FOOLING MYSELF.
00:13:48.72\00:13:51.29
>> SURE. >> YEAH.
00:13:51.29\00:13:53.26
>> SO AGAIN, BECAUSE WE
DIDN'T DO CERTAIN THINGS, IT HAD
00:13:53.26\00:13:56.73
NOTHING TO DO WITH THE
RELATIONSHIP WITH JESUS CHRIST,
00:13:56.73\00:13:59.63
IT WAS A LOT OF DOS AND DON'TS.
DON'T DO THIS, DON'T DO THAT.
00:13:59.63\00:14:06.11
THERE WERE TIMES I HAVE
SAID THIS ON PROGRAMS BEFORE.
00:14:06.11\00:14:09.24
THAT KENNY AND I WOULD HAVE
A TOURNAMENT AND BE ON FRIDAY
00:14:09.24\00:14:12.78
NIGHT. >> OH, EASY NOW.
00:14:12.78\00:14:13.88
>> SO IF YOU WANTED FRIDAY
NIGHT, YOU WOULD COME BACK AND
00:14:13.88\00:14:18.69
YOUR GAME WOULD BE SABBATH OR
SABBATH EVENING, AND WE WENT TO
00:14:18.69\00:14:24.36
STATE FINALS AND WE
HAD A PRETTY GOOD TEAM.
00:14:24.36\00:14:28.96
HE WAS A GREAT FAST
PITCH. HE WAS A GREAT PITCHER.
00:14:28.96\00:14:34.20
BUT WE WOULD HAVE A TOURNAMENT,
AND LET'S SAY ON FRIDAY WE MIGHT
00:14:34.20\00:14:38.81
START AT 7:00.
SUNDOWN MIHT BE 8:10, 8:12.
00:14:38.81\00:14:44.51
ALL RIGHT? KENNY
AND I WOULD STAY IN THE
00:14:44.51\00:14:47.85
GAME UNTIL ABOUT 8:09, AND
THEN CALL TIME-OUT, AND TAKE
00:14:47.85\00:14:52.35
OURSELVES OUT.
BECAUSE WE WOULD WANT TO KEEP
00:14:52.35\00:14:54.96
THE SABBATH, RIGHT. AND
WE WOULD GO HOME, AND IF WE
00:14:54.96\00:14:58.73
WON, THE TOURNAMENT
WOULD START THAT EVENING.
00:14:58.73\00:15:02.13
LET'S SAY AT 7:00. WE
WOULD GET IN OUR BALL SUITS,
00:15:02.13\00:15:06.20
DRIVE TO THE BALL DIAMOND, SIT
OUT IN THE CAR AND WAIT UNTIL
00:15:06.20\00:15:11.54
8:11, AND THEN CALL TIME-OUT AND
PUT OURSELVES BACK IN THE GAME.
00:15:11.54\00:15:17.75
>> OH, LORD HAVE MERCY.
>> WE WANTED TO BE SABBATH
00:15:17.75\00:15:22.42
KEEPERS. SHELLEY
IS SAYING OH, MY.
00:15:22.42\00:15:25.49
[ LAUGHTER ] >> WELL,
CONFESSION IS GOOD FOR
00:15:25.49\00:15:27.66
THE SOUL, BUT
HARD ON THE REPUTATION.
00:15:27.66\00:15:34.10
>> I HATE TO SAY IT THAT WAY,
DANNY, BUT IT WAS ALMOST LIKE IT
00:15:34.10\00:15:38.60
WAS RIGHT. IT WAS
ALMOST LIKE WE DIDN'T
00:15:38.60\00:15:40.84
KNOW ANY BETTER. WE
JUST THOUGHT, WELL, WE CAN DO
00:15:40.84\00:15:46.84
THIS AND STILL LOVE JESUS AND
STILL MAKE IT TO HEAVEN, BUT WE
00:15:46.84\00:15:50.48
HAD SOME WAKING
MOMENTS. >> ABSOLUTELY.
00:15:50.48\00:15:53.42
MY CHANGE CAME WHEN -- AND WE
HAD BEEN SINGING, AND MELODY AND
00:15:53.42\00:15:57.72
KAY AND I, AND WE TRAVELED WITH
RONDA AND LISA, AND WE TRAVELED
00:15:57.72\00:16:03.06
TO MICHIGAN, AND SOMEONE HAD
LOANED US A MOTOR HOME, AND WE
00:16:03.06\00:16:11.43
HAD TRAVELLED 7,000 MILES.
AND I WAS GETTING MORE SERIOUS
00:16:11.43\00:16:14.87
ABOUT THE LORD. AND I
TOLD THE LORD, WE WANT TO
00:16:14.87\00:16:18.31
DO SOMETHING FOR YOU. WE
GOT HOME FROM ONE OF THOSE
00:16:18.31\00:16:21.44
TRIPS, THAT WAS JUNE 30TH, 1982,
AND RIGHT AFTER WE GOT HOME.
00:16:21.44\00:16:26.18
KAY HAD A POODLE, AND SO IT WAS
IN TOWN, SOMEBODY HAD KEPT IT,
00:16:26.18\00:16:30.62
SO SHE SAID I'M
GOING TO TAKE MELODY.
00:16:30.62\00:16:33.76
WE'LL GO PICK UP THE
POODLE, AND WE'LL BE RIGHT BACK.
00:16:33.76\00:16:37.36
AND A FEW MINUTES
LATER, I HEARD A CAR HORN.
00:16:37.36\00:16:41.36
IT WAS JUST STUCK. AND
A NEIGHBOR CAME DRIVING IN
00:16:41.36\00:16:46.27
MY YARD VERY FAST AND SAID
SOMEONE HAD RUN A STOP SIGN AND
00:16:46.27\00:16:50.71
HIT THE VAN THEY WERE IN, AND
KAY WAS KILLED INSTANTLY, AND
00:16:50.71\00:16:55.81
MELODY HAD BEEN THROWN
THROUGH THE FRONT WIND SHIELD.
00:16:55.81\00:16:58.75
SHE HAD A BROKEN ARM, A LOT OF
CUTS AND BRUISES, WE TOOK HER TO
00:16:58.75\00:17:05.42
THE HOSPITAL, AND I REMEMBER
THAT EVENING -- THAT ALL EVENING
00:17:05.42\00:17:09.36
HER ARM WAS SWELLING AND SHE
WAS RUNNING A TEMPERATURE, SO I
00:17:09.36\00:17:13.19
STAYED IN THERE WITH HER IN THE
ROOM, SAT BY HER BED LITERALLY
00:17:13.19\00:17:17.43
ALL NIGHT LONG, AND I DIDN'T
WANT HER TO BLAME GOD FOR WHAT
00:17:17.43\00:17:20.94
HAD HAPPENED, SO I REMEMBER
GOING THROUGH SCRIPTURES WITH
00:17:20.94\00:17:25.64
HER, CASTING ALL OF YOUR CARES,
THE 23RD PSALMS, THE LORD IS MY
00:17:25.64\00:17:35.98
SHEPPARD. JESUS
SAYS I'M COMING TO GIVE
00:17:35.98\00:17:39.19
YOU LIFE ABUNDANTLY.
SO I BEGAN TO TALK TO HER.
00:17:39.19\00:17:43.53
I WANTED HER TO UNDERSTAND
THAT SIN, DEATH, DISEASE, AND
00:17:43.53\00:17:47.40
SICKNESS CAME FROM THE
DEVIL AND NOT FROM GOD.
00:17:47.40\00:17:49.66
SO BY MORNING, I SAID HONEY WE
HAVE TO GET SOMEBODY TO SING FOR
00:17:49.66\00:17:54.57
YOUR MOMMA'S
FUNERAL. WHO SHOULD WE GET?
00:17:54.57\00:17:59.21
AND SHE SAID DADDY MOM WOULD
WANT ME TO SING AND SO WOULD
00:17:59.21\00:18:05.61
JESUS. WELL, I
DIDN'T KNOW HOW SHE WAS
00:18:05.61\00:18:08.08
GOING TO MAKE IT TO THE FUNERAL,
SO WE WENT A LITTLE EARLY, AND
00:18:08.08\00:18:11.69
MOM WAS THERE ALREADY IN THE
CASKET AT THE CHURCH, SO BEFORE
00:18:11.69\00:18:16.46
PEOPLE CAME IN, WE TURNED ON THE
RECORDER, AND WHERE SHE COULD
00:18:16.46\00:18:20.33
STAY SAT DOWN, AND
SHE SANG TWO SONGS.
00:18:20.33\00:18:26.23
I WANT TO BE REMEMBERED AS THE
GIRL WHO SANG FOR JESUS CHRIST.
00:18:26.23\00:18:31.07
BUT THAT CHANGED MY LIFE,
BECAUSE I SAW A LITTLE GIRL WHO
00:18:31.07\00:18:34.61
WAS WILLING TO PUT AWAY ALL OF
HER FEELINGS, AND HER MOTHR IS
00:18:34.61\00:18:39.71
LAYING THERE IN THE CASKET RIGHT
IN FRONT OF HER, WHO COULD STAND
00:18:39.71\00:18:43.55
THERE AND SING FOR JESUS.
AND I SAID LORD, I WANT TO BE
00:18:43.55\00:18:47.59
THE VOICE OF JESUS. I
WANT THAT TYPE OF RELATIONSHIP
00:18:47.59\00:18:52.33
THAT MY 11-YEAR-OLD DAUGHTER
HAS, BECAUSE I COULDN'T HAVE
00:18:52.33\00:18:55.36
SANG. THERE'S NO
WAY I COULD HAVE DONE
00:18:55.36\00:18:58.20
IT, BUT SHE DID IT, SO MY LIFE
CHANGED AT THAT POINT, BECAUSE I
00:18:58.20\00:19:01.90
SAID THIS IS WHAT I WANT TO
DO. SO KENNY UNDERSTOOD I SAID I
00:19:01.90\00:19:06.31
WON'T BE WORKING
CARPENTRY -- MAYBE PART-TIME
00:19:06.31\00:19:11.01
ANYMORE. SO WE
BEGAN TO GO TO CHURCHES
00:19:11.01\00:19:13.78
AND SING, AND SHE HAD LOST HER
MOM, HER BEST FRIEND, AND NUMBER
00:19:13.78\00:19:19.02
1 NAME ON HER THAT -- YOU KNOW,
EVERY DAY, AND SO I DIDN'T WANT
00:19:19.02\00:19:24.03
HER TO HAVE A DADDY, THAT
SHE DIDN'T HAVE A DADDY AROUND
00:19:24.03\00:19:28.46
EITHER. SO WE BEGAN TO GO
FULL-TIME.-AS WE BEGAN TO SING
00:19:28.46\00:19:32.50
MORE AND MORE. WE
WERE INVITED TO DO SOME
00:19:32.50\00:19:35.44
CHRISTIAN TELEVISION PROGRAM,
AND SO  WOULD SEE THE POWER OF
00:19:35.44\00:19:39.37
CHRISTIAN TELEVISION. I
WOULD SAY LORD WHERE ARE
00:19:39.37\00:19:43.51
SEVENTH-DAY
ADVENTISTS IN THE MEDIA?
00:19:43.51\00:19:45.38
SHOULDN'T WE BE THE
HEADS AND NOT THE TAILS?
00:19:45.38\00:19:49.15
AND I WOULD HEAR PEOPLE SAY
THINGS THAT WASN'T TRUE, AND
00:19:49.15\00:19:52.45
THEY HAD AN AUDIENCE, 20,
30 PEOPLE ANSWERING PHONES.
00:19:52.45\00:19:57.79
WHY DON'T WE DO THIS. I'M
THANKFUL FOR A FEW PROGRAMS
00:19:57.79\00:20:01.90
THAT WE HAVE THAT SHOWS ON
SUNDAY MORNINGS ON SOME CITIES
00:20:01.90\00:20:06.33
AROUND AMERICA AND THE
WORLD, BUT WHY DON'T WE HAVE A
00:20:06.33\00:20:10.64
TELEVISION NETWORK? SO
THE EARLY MORNING HOURS
00:20:10.64\00:20:14.78
NOVEMBER 15TH, I WAS COMPLAINING
TO THE LORD, WHY DOESN'T THE
00:20:14.78\00:20:18.08
CHURCH BUILD A STATION?
WHY DOESN'T THIS HAPPEN?
00:20:18.08\00:20:20.42
AND THIS IMPRESSION CAME TO ME.
I WANT YOU TO BUILD A TELEVISION
00:20:20.42\00:20:24.15
STATION THAT WOULD REACH THE
WORLD WITH AN UNDILUTED THREE
00:20:24.15\00:20:31.99
ANGELS' MESSAGE, ONE THAT WOULD
COUNTERACT THE COUNTERFEIT.
00:20:31.99\00:20:35.13
TO TELL YOU THE TRUTH I HAD TO
STUDY THE THREE ANGELS' MESSAGE
00:20:35.13\00:20:40.54
MESSAGES. I CAN
HOLD MY OWN ABOUT THE
00:20:40.54\00:20:42.40
SABBATH OR THE STATE OF
THE DEAD AND THESE THINGS.
00:20:42.40\00:20:46.21
AND I HEARD OF THE THREE ANGELS'
MESSAGE, BUT I SAID I HAVE TO
00:20:46.21\00:20:49.74
STUDY THAT OUT. AND
UNDILUTED, WHAT DOES THAT
00:20:49.74\00:20:52.68
MEAN? I KNEW THAT
WASN'T ME THINKING.
00:20:52.68\00:20:55.82
BUT I SAID I WON'T BEG
FOR MONEY OR BORROW MONEY.
00:20:55.82\00:20:59.82
THE FIRST ONE EASY. I
DIDN'T HAVE ANY CREDIT, SO I
00:20:59.82\00:21:04.29
COULDN'T HAVE BORROWED
ENOUGH TO START ANYTHING.
00:21:04.29\00:21:07.30
AND I DECIDED NOT TO BEG.
BUT GOD BEGAN TO OPEN DOORS.
00:21:07.30\00:21:14.10
MOLLIE AND HAL, EVERY STEP WE
TOOK, GOD SUPPLIED EVERY NEED.
00:21:14.10\00:21:19.31
>> AMEN. >> AND WE
DIDN'T KNOW WHERE WE
00:21:19.31\00:21:21.78
WERE GOING. SO WHAT
HELPED ME IN MY SPEAKING
00:21:21.78\00:21:25.38
WAS NOW I HAD A
TESTIMONY. >> YES.
00:21:25.38\00:21:27.22
>> THAT'S RIGHT. >>
BUT I THOUGHT I WAS DOING
00:21:27.22\00:21:29.98
OKAY, AND I WASN'T GETTING
NERVOUS, BECAUSE EVERYWHERE I
00:21:29.98\00:21:33.89
WOULD GO, I WOULD TELL PEOPLE
I'M SO EXCITED ABOUT WHAT GOD IS
00:21:33.89\00:21:38.26
DOING, I CAN'T WAIT TO SHARE
IT. UNTIL A FEW YEARS AFTER WE
00:21:38.26\00:21:42.36
STARTED I WAS INVITED TO SPEAK
AT ANDREWS UNIVERSITY, SO I WAS
00:21:42.36\00:21:47.47
STANDING BEHIND THE STAGE
GETTING READY TO COME UP, AND IT
00:21:47.47\00:21:51.61
HOLDS ABOUT 3,000 PEOPLE, AND
ALL OF A SUDDEN FOR THE FIRST
00:21:51.61\00:21:55.04
TIME -- AND I DIDN'T
GET NERVOUS WHEN I SPOKE.
00:21:55.04\00:21:58.28
YVONNE I LOOKED OUT INTO THE
CROWD, AND I SAID ALMOST EVERY
00:21:58.28\00:22:02.48
ONE OF THESE PEOPLE ARE PHD'S,
THEY ARE ENGLISH TEACHERS,
00:22:02.48\00:22:06.92
THEY -- EVERY ONE OF THEM ARE
HERE BECAUSE THEY HAVE MASTER'S
00:22:06.92\00:22:11.73
OR DOCTORS, OR THEY ARE
STUDENTING STUDIES THIS STUFF,
00:22:11.73\00:22:16.60
AND I HAVE BEEN TO HIGH
SCHOOL. AND I GOT NERVOUS.
00:22:16.60\00:22:24.81
EVEN AS A KID, MY DAD WOULD
SAY DON'T YOU EVER GET NERVOUS?
00:22:24.81\00:22:30.45
AND I WOULD SAY
NO, AM I SUPPOSED TO?
00:22:30.45\00:22:34.52
AND HE WOULD SAY I
DON'T THINK YOU ARE ALL THERE.
00:22:34.52\00:22:37.59
[ LAUGHTER ] >>
BUT THIS TIME, I WAS
00:22:37.59\00:22:39.12
LIKE -- I'M GO OUT TO TALK
TO ALL OF THESE PEOPLE, I'M
00:22:39.12\00:22:43.83
INTIM
INTIMIDATED, AND SO I SAID A
00:22:43.83\00:22:50.67
PRAYER. LORD LET
THESE PEOPLE HEAR WHAT
00:22:50.67\00:22:52.57
THEY NEED TO HEAR. AFTER
THE SERMON -- AND THIS WAS
00:22:52.57\00:22:55.90
LIFE-CHANGING FOR ME.
THERE WERE HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE
00:22:55.90\00:22:58.57
WHO CAME BY AND I WAS
SHAKING HANDS, AND ONE PERSON IN
00:22:58.57\00:23:02.04
PARTICULAR -- I DON'T KNOW IF IT
WAS YOU THAT WAS THERE THAT WAS
00:23:02.04\00:23:06.11
WITH ME -- IT MAY HAVE BEEN DEE.
AND WE WERE SHAKING HANDS, AND
00:23:06.11\00:23:10.62
SO SOMEBODY SAID, I JUST WANT
TO THANK YOU FOR TALKING ABOUT
00:23:10.62\00:23:14.92
SPREADING BOOKS LIKE
THE LEAVES OF AUTUMN.
00:23:14.92\00:23:17.56
WE USED TO DO THAT -- HE SAID I
USED TO HAVE A MINISTRY, I WOULD
00:23:17.56\00:23:21.50
TAKE STUDENTS EVERY WEEK, WE
WOULD TAKE ALL OF THESE BOOKS
00:23:21.50\00:23:24.67
AND PASS THEM OUT AND -- AND
THIS HELPED ME SO MUCH WHEN YOU
00:23:24.67\00:23:29.30
TALKED ABOUT IT,
I'M GOING TO DO IT AGAIN
00:23:29.30\00:23:31.54
AND I LOOKED OVER AT THE PERSON
NEXT TO ME, AND I SAID I DIDN'T
00:23:31.54\00:23:36.78
SAY ANYTHING
ABOUT PASSING OUT BOOKS.
00:23:36.78\00:23:38.81
I'M IN TELEVISION. I'M
JUST TRYING TO WORK WITH THE
00:23:38.81\00:23:41.85
NEW TELEVISION NETWORK.
I SAID I DIDN'T DO THAT.
00:23:41.85\00:23:46.92
WELL, WE WENT BACK, AND MOM
FORD, WATCHED THE WHOLE THING.
00:23:46.92\00:23:51.26
I DIDN'T SAY ANYTHING
ABOUT PASSING OUT BOOKS, SO IT
00:23:51.26\00:23:54.13
OCCURRED TO ME, YAY, THE LORD
DID EXACTLY WHAT I ASKED HIM TO
00:23:54.13\00:24:00.60
DO. HE LET THE
PEOPLE HEAR WHAT THEY
00:24:00.60\00:24:03.24
NEEDED TO HEAR. SO
EVER SINCE THEN, WHEN I GO
00:24:03.24\00:24:06.94
SOMEWHERE, I
DON'T WORRY ABOUT IT.
00:24:06.94\00:24:09.14
I'LL READ AND PRAY, AND SPENDING
MORE TIME IN PRAYERS THAN
00:24:09.14\00:24:13.62
READING. LORD,
WHAT IS IT THAT YOU WANT
00:24:13.62\00:24:17.09
ME TO SAY TO FOLKS? AND
AS SOON AS I GET OUT IF I
00:24:17.09\00:24:20.79
HAVE WRITTEN NOTES, THE
LORD WILL CHANGE ME IN A TOTALLY
00:24:20.79\00:24:25.73
DIFFERENT WAY. NOW,
ON THE OTHER HAND, YVONNE
00:24:25.73\00:24:29.33
WAS ASKED TO SPEAK IN CLEVELAND,
AND I THINK FOR -- WHAT?
00:24:29.33\00:24:34.50
THE LAST TWO MONTHS SHE HAS PUT
HUNDREDS OF HOURS INTO ONE TALK.
00:24:34.50\00:24:39.07
>> BUT IT'S A DYNAMITE
TALK. >> THE LORD BLESSED.
00:24:39.07\00:24:42.94
HE REALLY DID. HE REALLY DID.
00:24:42.94\00:24:44.55
I NEED TO SAY A SPECIAL
SHOUT-OUT TO THE WONDERFUL
00:24:44.55\00:24:47.65
PEOPLE IN THE CONGREGATION
THERE AT GLENVILLE PRESENT TRUTH
00:24:47.65\00:24:53.92
SEVENTH-DAY
ADVENTIST CHURCH IN CLEVELAND.
00:24:53.92\00:24:55.02
IT WAS A BLESSING TO BE THERE.
IT WAS WOMEN'S MINISTRY DAY.
00:24:55.02\00:24:59.16
AND THEY WERE WONDERFUL. AND THE
BLESSING IS ON THE GO, -BECAUSE
THAT IS DEFINITELY OUT
00:24:59.16\00:25:04.57
OF MY COMFORT ZONE, AND
-- BUT -- BUT WHAT I FOUND
00:25:04.57\00:25:08.84
WAS IN PREPARING,
THE LORD WAS BLESSING ME.
00:25:08.84\00:25:11.77
>> THERE YOU
GO. >> THAT'S RIGHT.
00:25:11.77\00:25:13.94
>> SO I WAS LEARNING, AND I
WAS -- IT WAS JUST -- IT WAS A
00:25:13.94\00:25:17.55
BLESSING FOR ME, AND THEN TO
SHARE THE INFORMATION WITH THE
00:25:17.55\00:25:21.98
WOMEN THERE WAS -- WAS -- WAS
JUST A WONDERFUL BLESSING, AND
00:25:21.98\00:25:26.82
PASTOR ANTHONY. GIVE
THE PASTOR A SHOUT-OUT, AND
00:25:26.82\00:25:29.79
THE FIRST LADY. IT WAS
A WONDERFUL EXPERIENCE.
00:25:29.79\00:25:32.29
>> WELL, THAT'S THE POINT I WAS
GOING TO TRY TO MAKE IS THAT ALL
00:25:32.29\00:25:35.53
OF THESE HOURS AND HOURS --
AND I DON'T KNOW IF YU DID A
00:25:35.53\00:25:39.10
HUNDRED HOURS OF STUDYING.
YOU COULD HAVE GONE THERE, AND
00:25:39.10\00:25:42.87
I'M SURE GOD COULD HAVE WORKED
THAT MIRACLE AND LET THE PEOPLE
00:25:42.87\00:25:46.44
HEAR WHAT THEY NEEDED TO HEAR,
BUT THE ONE THAT WAS REALLY
00:25:46.44\00:25:49.98
BLESSED WAS YOU. >> AMEN.
00:25:49.98\00:25:53.18
>> BECAUSE THE LORD WAS TEACHING
YOU ALL OF THESE THINGS.
00:25:53.18\00:25:55.85
>> YES. >> SO HE
STILL BLESSED IT, BUT I
00:25:55.85\00:26:01.26
DON'T WANT PEOPLE TO THINK THAT
YOU HAVE TO BE -- THAT YOU HAVE
00:26:01.26\00:26:04.13
TO BE -- LET'S
SEE. I'M NOT PREPARED.
00:26:04.13\00:26:07.66
I'M NOT A PUBLIC SPEAKER.
I HAVE GONE TO CHURCHES AND
00:26:07.66\00:26:10.57
PEOPLE COME UP AND SAY HOW DO
YOU TALK FOR AN HOUR AND A HALF
00:26:10.57\00:26:14.30
WITH NO -- NO
NOTES, NO ANYTHING?
00:26:14.30\00:26:17.24
I JUST CAN'T TALK. I
DON'T HAVE THAT GIFT.
00:26:17.24\00:26:21.01
AND I SAY YOU CAN'T TALK
-- I HAVE DONE THIS ON SEVERAL
00:26:21.01\00:26:24.98
OCCASIONS -- YOU CAN'T TALK?
AND ONE MAN SAID NO, I'M NOT ANY
00:26:24.98\00:26:29.25
GOOD. AND I SAID
DO YOU OWN A HOME?
00:26:29.25\00:26:32.02
AND HE SAID YEAH. AND
I SAID WHO DID YOU HAVE
00:26:32.02\00:26:37.26
NEGOTIATE THAT HOME WHEN
YOU WERE TRYING TO BUY IT?
00:26:37.26\00:26:39.53
WHAT DO YOU MEAN? DID
YOU JUST PAY TWHA WERE
00:26:39.53\00:26:44.87
ASKING? NO.
00:26:44.87\00:26:45.73
I SAID WHO DID THAT FOR
YOU? HE SAID I DID MY OWN.
00:26:45.73\00:26:49.50
I SAID YOU CAN SPEAK.
WHEN YOU BUY A CAR DO YOU JUST
00:26:49.50\00:26:55.88
PAY WHAT THEY ASK, OR DO YOU
KNOWING ASSOCIATE, SO YOU CAN
00:26:55.88\00:26:59.91
TALK. BUT LIKE
ME, I DIDN'T REALLY
00:26:59.91\00:27:02.08
HAVE ANYTHING TO SAY. WHEN
YOU COMMIT YOUR LIFE TO THE
00:27:02.08\00:27:06.35
LORD, AND YOU SEE GOD WORK
MIRACLE AFTER MIRACLE, I PROMISE
00:27:06.35\00:27:11.29
YOU, YOUR BIGGEST PROBLEM
IS -- AND ASK ANY OF YOU -- IS
00:27:11.29\00:27:14.30
WHAT I HAVE TO LEAVE
OUT. AM I TELLING THE TRUTH?
00:27:14.30\00:27:17.03
>> HERE. HERE.
00:27:17.03\00:27:18.83
>> Y'ALL TALK TO ME. >>
DANNY ONE THING VERY QUICKLY.
00:27:18.83\00:27:24.24
SPIRITUAL HISTORY HAS SHOWN THAT
WHEN THE LORD IS READY TO CAST A
00:27:24.24\00:27:30.25
VISION, HE TENDS TO CAST
IT TO SEVERAL INDIVIDUALS.
00:27:30.25\00:27:34.35
AND SETTLES ON THE PERSON
THAT RECEIVES THAT VISION.
00:27:34.35\00:27:42.16
ELLEN WHITE
FULFILLED THE ASSIGNMENT.
00:27:42.16\00:27:44.66
THERE WERE OTHERS IN THE EARLY
-'80S WHO TOYED WITH THE IDEA OF
TRYING TO DO SOMETHING
00:27:44.66\00:27:50.37
WORLDWIDE, BUT
NEVER FULFILLED IT.
00:27:50.37\00:27:52.53
AND THERE WERE, OF COURSE,
VOICES SPEAKING AGAINST IT.
00:27:52.53\00:27:56.10
THIS MINISTRY IS A CREDIT TO
GOD, BUT IF THERE IS ANY CREDIT
00:27:56.10\00:28:00.48
THAT CAN GO TO YOU, IT CAN
BE SUMMED UP IN THREE WORDS.
00:28:00.48\00:28:04.75
HE SAID YES. BECAUSE
THE LORD IS LOOKING FOR
00:28:04.75\00:28:07.22
A PLACE TO LAND. AND
ONE NIGHT YOU WERE LOOKING
00:28:07.22\00:28:10.62
FOR SOMETHING TO DO, AND
WONDERING WHY IT DOES NOT BEING
00:28:10.62\00:28:13.56
DONE, AND LOOKING FOR A PLACE TO
LAND MEANT WHY IS THIS NOT BEING
00:28:13.56\00:28:19.16
DONE? THE LORD SAID.
00:28:19.16\00:28:20.80
IT'S GOING TO BE DONE. IT
IS GOING TO BE DONE THROUGH
00:28:20.80\00:28:24.80
YOU. [ LAUGHTER ]
00:28:24.80\00:28:26.13
>> AND SO WE FOUND A VESSEL.
HE HAS CHOSEN, ELLEN WHITE SAYS
00:28:26.13\00:28:32.37
TO WED HIS WORK FOR
MAN KIND TO MAN KIND.
00:28:32.37\00:28:38.38
THE HOLY SPIRIT IS WORKING,
OF COURSE, BUT IT IS WORKING
00:28:38.38\00:28:41.72
THROUGH MAN. GOD
NEEDS A MAN, A WOMAN,
00:28:41.72\00:28:44.89
SOMEONE TO WORK THROUGH, AND WE
CHOSE YOU, AND WE THANK GOD THAT
00:28:44.89\00:28:50.06
YOU TOOK UP THAT MANTRA, BECAUSE
GOD CHOOSES TO USE FRAIL HUMAN
00:28:50.06\00:28:55.66
BEINGS TO YOU AND I. >>
KENNY -- HE CAN ADDRESS IT.
00:28:55.66\00:28:59.93
NEITHER ONE OF US HAD ANY
VISIONS OF GRANDEUR OR BEING ON
00:28:59.93\00:29:04.17
TELEVISION OR WHATEVER --
HE WAS PREACHING AT THE TIME.
00:29:04.17\00:29:06.91
BUT THAT'S NOT WHY WE DID 3ABN.
WE ENDED UP BEING ON THE AIR
00:29:06.91\00:29:13.48
BECAUSE WE DIDN'T HAVE ANYBODY
AND AT THE TIME COULDN'T AFFORD
00:29:13.48\00:29:16.32
TO PAY PEOPLE. SO WE
WENT ON AND STARTED DOING
00:29:16.32\00:29:19.25
TALK SHOWS AND INTERVIEWS AND
WHAT HAVE YOU, AND YOU STARTED
00:29:19.25\00:29:24.33
DOING THE REVELATION
SEMINARS AND THINGS LIKE THAT.
00:29:24.33\00:29:27.40
BUT WE DID IT, BECAUSE I
COULD NOT DO IT THE WAY IT WAS
00:29:27.40\00:29:33.84
PRESENTED TO ME, I COULD NOT
HAVE WALKED AWAY FROM IT, AND
00:29:33.84\00:29:38.14
NOT GONE FORWARD, BECAUSE I KNEW
THAT I KNEW THAT I KNEW THAT IT
00:29:38.14\00:29:42.31
WAS OF THE LORD. AND
EACH AND EVERY ONE OF US
00:29:42.31\00:29:45.41
KNOW THERE ARE TIMES -- SHELLEY
HAVE YOU EVER EXPERIENCES THAT?
00:29:45.41\00:29:49.58
>> ABSOLUTELY. BACK
TO WHAT CA WAS SAYING.
00:29:49.58\00:29:53.82
I HAVE THOUGHT IS, AND SOMETIMES
PEOPLE GASP WHEN YOU FIRST SAY
00:29:53.82\00:29:58.33
IT. WHAT IF MARY
-- WHEN THE ANGELS
00:29:58.33\00:30:02.50
CAME TO THIS YOUNG VIRGIN
TEENAGER, AND SAID YOU ARE GOING
00:30:02.50\00:30:05.93
TO HAVE THE SON OF GOD.
WHAT IF SHE WOULD HAVE SAID, NOT
00:30:05.93\00:30:13.58
ME? GOD WOULD HAVE FOUND ANOTHER
00:30:13.58\00:30:15.94
HAND MAIDEN TO HAVE HIS SON, BUT
WHAT SHE SAID WAS LET IT BE DONE
00:30:15.94\00:30:21.35
TO ME ACCORDING TO YOUR WORD.
AND THAT'S -- WHEN THE LORD
00:30:21.35\00:30:25.42
CALLED ME TO FULL-TIME
MINISTRY. I THOUGHT WHO AM I?
00:30:25.42\00:30:29.62
BUT I WAS SO ABSOLUTELY
CONVINCED THAT I KNEW THAT I
00:30:29.62\00:30:34.00
KNEW THAT I KNEW GOD WAS CALLING
ME TO FULL-TIME MINISTRY.
00:30:34.00\00:30:37.73
AND I WILL NEVER FORGET WHEN
I ASKED J.D. ABOUT IT -- BECAUSE
00:30:37.73\00:30:41.60
WE WERE GETTING READY TO
KICK OFF WHAT COULD HAVE BEEN AN
00:30:41.60\00:30:45.47
EXTREMELY SUCCESSFUL BUSINESS,
AND WE HAD ALL OF OUR CLIENTS
00:30:45.47\00:30:49.68
LINED UP, AND WHEN I TOLD J.D.,
YOU KNOW, I TOLD THE LORD -- THE
00:30:49.68\00:30:56.55
LORD TOLD ME -- WHEN I SAY TOLD
ME, YOU KNOW WHAT I'M SAYING --
00:30:56.55\00:31:01.62
>> UH-HUH. >> HE
SAID I NEEDED TO LEAVE IT
00:31:01.62\00:31:04.93
UP TO J.D. SO J.D.
JUST SAID TO ME, WHAT IS
00:31:04.93\00:31:08.86
WRONG WITH YOU? HE
SAID YOU DON'T SEEM
00:31:08.86\00:31:12.77
INTERESTED IN OUR NEW BUSINESS.
AND I SAID I'M INTERESTED.
00:31:12.77\00:31:15.57
HE SAID HONEY IF YOU COULD DO
ANYTHING YOU WANTED TO DO, WHAT
00:31:15.57\00:31:22.24
WOULD YOU DO? AND I
SAID I WOULD BE TEACHING
00:31:22.24\00:31:25.41
PEOPLE HOW TO
PROFIT SPIRITUALLY.
00:31:25.41\00:31:27.58
AND WHEN I TOLD HIM THAT
GOD WAS CALLING ME TO FULL-TIME
00:31:27.58\00:31:31.15
MINISTRY -- BUT I SAID, IT
DOESN'T HAVE TO BE FULL-TIME
00:31:31.15\00:31:34.06
RIGHT NOW. I DON'T
KNOW WHEN IT WOULD BE
00:31:34.06\00:31:36.99
FULL-TIME. MAYBE WE
COULD DO A LITTLE OF
00:31:36.99\00:31:38.99
THIS, AND DO THE MINISTRY, AND
HE SAID YOU DO KNOW WHAT GOD IS
00:31:38.99\00:31:43.77
SAYING. AND I SAID
YEAH, I THINK HE IS
00:31:43.77\00:31:46.70
CALLING ME TO
FULL-TIME MINISTRY RIGHT NOW.
00:31:46.70\00:31:48.97
J.D. DIDN'T BLINK, HE JUST SAID
WHO AM I TO ARGUE WITH THE LORD.
00:31:48.97\00:31:54.71
SO WHEN YOU KNOW THAT YOU
KNOW THAT THE LORD IS CALLING
00:31:54.71\00:31:59.15
YOU -- AND I HAVE SAID THIS MANY
TIMES WHEN I'M SPEAKING TO AN
00:31:59.15\00:32:03.75
AUDIENCE ABOUT YOU, THE
FAITH OF JESUS WAS GIVEN TO YOU.
00:32:03.75\00:32:06.55
ONE OF THE GIFTS OF
THE SPIRIT IS FAITH.
00:32:06.55\00:32:09.32
WE HAVE ALL BEEN GIVEN A MEASURE
OF FAITH, BUT GOD GAVE YOU THE
00:32:09.32\00:32:14.96
GIFT OF THE SPIRIT. HE
GAVE YOU THE GIFT OF FAITH,
00:32:14.96\00:32:19.03
BECAUSE WHEN WE LOOK BACK --
WE HAVE A NEW EMPLOYEE THAT HAS
00:32:19.03\00:32:23.41
QUITE AN IMPRESSIVE CORPORATE
HISTORY, AND I TOLD HIM -- I
00:32:23.41\00:32:27.21
SAID HAVE YOU HEAD
THE MIRACLE STORIES HERE?
00:32:27.21\00:32:29.91
HE SAID WELL, A FEW, AND I GOT A
COPY OF MENDING BROKEN PEOPLE TO
00:32:29.91\00:32:35.65
GIVE TO HIM, AND HE CAME
IN AND HE WAS JUST LIKE, WOW.
00:32:35.65\00:32:40.36
THIS -- WHEN YOU -- WHEN
GOD CALLS YOU, AND HE GIVES
00:32:40.36\00:32:44.13
YOU -- THE FAITH HE HAD TO GAVE
YOU TO INITIATE THIS WORK, IT'S
00:32:44.13\00:32:49.36
A GOOD THING YOU DIDN'T KNOW
WHAT IT WAS GOING TO REQUIRE.
00:32:49.36\00:32:51.97
[ LAUGHTER ] >> YEAH.
00:32:51.97\00:32:53.13
>> BUT THE FAITH HE GAVE
YOU -- IT'S ALL TO HIS CREDIT.
00:32:53.13\00:32:56.77
I MEAN GLORY TO GOD
FOR WHAT HE HAS DONE.
00:32:56.77\00:33:00.88
AND I PRAISE GOD BECAUSE I
DON'T KNOW THAT I WOULD BE A
00:33:00.88\00:33:04.61
SEVENTH-DAY ADVENTIST CHRISTIAN
TODAY IF IT HADN'T BEEN FOR
00:33:04.61\00:33:08.42
3ABN. >> PRAISE THE LORD.
00:33:08.42\00:33:09.58
>> IT WAS BECAUSE OF 3ABN THAT I
CAME INTO THIS CHURCH BELIEVING
00:33:09.58\00:33:16.93
THAT THE ADVENTIST CHURCH
TEACHES MORE BIBLE DOCTRINE THAN
00:33:16.93\00:33:23.23
ANY OTHER, BUT THIS IS -- AS CA
SAID, IT IS ALL TO GOD'S CREDIT,
00:33:23.23\00:33:28.74
BUT THANK -- I'M SO
THANKFUL THAT YOU SAID YES.
00:33:28.74\00:33:32.44
>> AMEN. >> YEAH,
IF YOU LOOK AT THE HOLY
00:33:32.44\00:33:37.98
SPIRIT AS A DOVE, OR THE MISSION
OF 3ABN AS A DOVE LOOKING FOR A
00:33:37.98\00:33:42.98
SHOULDER TO LAND ON, YOU
KNOW, TELEVISION HAD TO COME.
00:33:42.98\00:33:51.79
THE CHURCH WAS A BIG SHIP
LOOKING TO STEER AND SO THE LORD
00:33:51.79\00:33:57.17
SAID, I'M GOING TO BYPASS THAT
FOR NOW, AND GO TO A GUY WITH
00:33:57.17\00:34:02.27
ENERGY WHO LIKES BALLS,
BASKETBALL AND BIBLE, AND I'M
00:34:02.27\00:34:05.61
GOING TO GO TO ONE GUY AND ERECT
THROUGH THAT ONE GUY SOMETHING
00:34:05.61\00:34:15.08
THAT WILL BE A PATTERN FOR
ALL OF THE SEVENTH-DAY ADVENTIST
00:34:15.08\00:34:19.39
CHURCH. SOMEBODY
HAS TO BE FIRST, AND
00:34:19.39\00:34:21.82
3ABN WAS IT. >> AMEN.
00:34:21.82\00:34:23.69
>> AND SO GOD SAID I'M GOING
TO ERECT THIS STANDARD AND HAVE
00:34:23.69\00:34:26.90
THIS MINISTRY, AND WE'LL MOVE
INTO THIS -- HOLD THIS STANDARD.
00:34:26.90\00:34:31.43
THE ONLY REASON 3ABN STILL
EXISTS IS BECAUSE IT IS A TOOL
00:34:31.43\00:34:38.11
IN THE HAND OF GOD, AND IF
IT EVER LOST THAT, THEN GOD WILL
00:34:38.11\00:34:45.05
TAKE HIS
BLESSINGS AWAY FROM 3ABN.
00:34:45.05\00:34:47.48
BECAUSE 3ABN WOULD BE LIKE ANY
OTHER MINISTRY, BLENDING ERROR
00:34:47.48\00:34:54.02
AND TRUTH, BUT AS LONG AS
WE STAY TRUE, WE CAN EXPECT THE
00:34:54.02\00:34:59.83
BLESSINGS OF GOD. >> AMEN.
00:34:59.83\00:35:01.46
>> WHEN YOU THINK ABOUT IT,
DANNY, FIRST OF ALL BY USING YOU
00:35:01.46\00:35:05.97
AND KENNY, AND YOUR FAMILY
TO RAISE THIS MINISTRY UP, FIRST
00:35:05.97\00:35:11.44
GOD -- EVERYBODY KNOWS
GOD GETS ALL OF THE CREDIT.
00:35:11.44\00:35:15.64
YOU ALL HAD NOTHING. YOU
DIDN'T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT
00:35:15.64\00:35:19.08
THIS. >> AMEN.
00:35:19.08\00:35:20.25
>> BUT I PRAISE GOD, IF THE
CHURCH HAD BEGUN FIRST WITH A
00:35:20.25\00:35:26.12
TELEVISION MINISTRY.
THEY WOULD HAVE USED WHOM?
00:35:26.12\00:35:30.36
PHD'S, PEOPLE WITH
ALL OF THESE DEGREES.
00:35:30.36\00:35:33.46
GOD USED YOU TO INTRODUCE PEOPLE
THAT WERE BEING LEAD BY HIS
00:35:33.46\00:35:39.60
SPIRIT, THE TY GIBSONS, JAMES
RAFFERTY, PEOPLE WHO DIDN'T HAVE
00:35:39.60\00:35:45.54
A DEGREE -- SHELLEY QUINN,
I WOULD HAVE NEVER GOTTEN ON
00:35:45.54\00:35:48.68
TELEVISION. MY DEGREE
IS NOT -- I DON'T HAVE
00:35:48.68\00:35:51.61
A DEGREE? THEOLOGY,
BUT AS -- AS GOD MOVED
00:35:51.61\00:35:55.95
UPON PEOPLE BY THE HOLY SPIRIT,
3ABN BECAME THE PLATFORM THAT
00:35:55.95\00:36:00.86
GOD COULD GIVE HIS MESSAGE
THROUGH, AND WE HAVE PLENTY OF
00:36:00.86\00:36:05.93
THOSE WHO ARE -- DO HAVE
THEIR DEGREES, BUT THE POINT IS,
00:36:05.93\00:36:11.07
RATHER THAN LIMITING IT
TO A CERTAIN LITTLE GROUP OF
00:36:11.07\00:36:16.10
PREAPPROVED, DEGREED PEOPLE, YOU
SEE THAT GOD IS LEADING BY HIS
00:36:16.10\00:36:24.38
SPIRIT, PEOPLE WHO, YOU KNOW,
DIDN'T GROW UP AS ADVENTISTS,
00:36:24.38\00:36:29.12
GIVING ME THE SAME MESSAGE
THAT HE GAVE TO THE CHURCH.
00:36:29.12\00:36:31.65
I THINK THAT'S
EXCITING PERSONALLY.
00:36:31.65\00:36:34.76
>> AMEN. GREG?
00:36:34.76\00:36:35.76
>> ONE OF THE THINGS THAT ALWAYS
IMPRESSED ME TOO, WAS YOU DIDN'T
00:36:35.76\00:36:39.63
WAIT FOR ALL OF
THE MONEY TO COME IN.
00:36:39.63\00:36:42.16
YOU BUILD YOUR BUDGET. OKAY.
00:36:42.16\00:36:43.67
IT IS GOING TO COST THIS MUCH
TO PUT THE RAD IN, THIS MUCH FOR
00:36:43.67\00:36:47.54
THE STUDIO, OKAY. LET'S GO OUT.
00:36:47.54\00:36:50.47
LET'S RAISE ALL OF THE
FUNDS, THEN WE'LL START THE
00:36:50.47\00:36:53.48
CONSTRUCTION. YOU
PRETTY MUCH WENT -- I DON'T
00:36:53.48\00:36:57.78
KNOW PAYCHECK TO PAYCHECK IS NOT
QUITE -- DONATION TO DONATION.
00:36:57.78\00:37:02.82
AND I THINK THAT'S ALSO A
TREMENDOUS AMOUNT OF FAITH.
00:37:02.82\00:37:05.95
BECAUSE A LOT OF
TIMES WE LIKE TO PLAN.
00:37:05.95\00:37:08.72
AT LEAST I DO, I WANT
TO GET MY DUCKS IN A ROW.
00:37:08.72\00:37:12.39
BUT I THINK THAT WALK OF
FAITH IS NOT BY SIGHT, RIGHT?
00:37:12.39\00:37:17.00
AND THAT'S ONE OF THE INCREDIBLE
THINGS OF 3ABN IS BUILDING IT
00:37:17.00\00:37:21.97
DONATION BY DONATION.
YOU SAID DIESEL CAN BY DIESEL
00:37:21.97\00:37:26.74
CAN TO PUT FUEL
IN THE BULLDOZER.
00:37:26.74\00:37:29.74
AND I THINK THAT'S INCREDIBLE.
>> WE RENTED -- DIDN'T WE -- WE
00:37:29.74\00:37:34.62
HAD A BACKHOE. >> A CAT.
00:37:34.62\00:37:37.52
>> A CAT. AND THEY
ENDED UP HAVING A ROAD
00:37:37.52\00:37:42.16
GRADER WE BORROWED OR
USED. AND YOU RANSOM OF THAT
00:37:42.16\00:37:47.36
EQUIPMENT. YOU DOUG
THE FOOTINGS, AND IT
00:37:47.36\00:37:49.40
NEVER OCCURRED TO
YOU IT WOULDN'T WORK.
00:37:49.40\00:37:52.57
>> IT NEVER DID. YOU
KNOW, HOW DID YOU KNOW WHAT
00:37:52.57\00:37:56.07
TO DO IN BASICALLY HOW
DO YOU KNOW WHAT TO DO NEXT?
00:37:56.07\00:37:59.91
IF WE WERE
HONEST, WHAT WE WOULD SAY?
00:37:59.91\00:38:03.95
WE REALLY DIDN'T
KNOW WHAT TO DO NEXT.
00:38:03.95\00:38:05.88
BUT I THINK THE
BACKGROUND -- THIS IS MY OWN
00:38:05.88\00:38:09.38
THINKING, THE BACKGROUND OF
CONSTRUCTION, WORKING, AND THAT
00:38:09.38\00:38:12.39
WAS A FAITH MINISTRY TOO, AS IT
WERE -- YOU STILL WORKED BECAUSE
00:38:12.39\00:38:17.23
YOU DIDN'T HAVE A
REGULAR CHECK COMING IN.
00:38:17.23\00:38:20.20
IT'S AS -- GOD BROUGHT IT TO
YOU AS YOU PRAYED, THEN HE GAVE
00:38:20.20\00:38:24.43
JOBS. WE -- WE
-- WE AT LEAST THE
00:38:24.43\00:38:27.77
FIRST FIVE YEARS, AND IT
WAS YOU, REALLY, TO BEGIN WITH,
00:38:27.77\00:38:32.47
BECAUSE WHEN I FIRST GOT OUT OF
THE SERVICE, I WENT TO THE COAL
00:38:32.47\00:38:36.04
MINES, DIDN'T I? >> UH-HUH.
00:38:36.04\00:38:38.51
>> WAS IN THE COAL
MINES FOR A YEAR AND A HALF.
00:38:38.51\00:38:41.02
AND THEN THE
MINES WENT ON A STRIKE.
00:38:41.02\00:38:43.72
AND WHO DO YOU
THINK COMING UP TO ME?
00:38:43.72\00:38:47.49
BROTHER DANNY. HE
SAID WHY GO BACK TO THE
00:38:47.49\00:38:50.46
MINES? YOU AND I CAN GET INTO A
00:38:50.46\00:38:52.29
CONSTRUCTION BUSINESS. >>
I SAID DANNY IS, WE CAN BUILT
00:38:52.29\00:38:56.00
BUT -- >> HE SAID
WE'LL CALL IT SHELTON
00:38:56.00\00:39:02.20
CONSTRUCTION. AND I
SAID THAT SOUNDS PRETTY
00:39:02.20\00:39:06.34
GOOD. AND HE WAS
PERSUASIVE ENOUGH,
00:39:06.34\00:39:08.61
AND WE HAD RELATIONSHIP ENOUGH
THAT WE HAD DONE ALL OF THE
00:39:08.61\00:39:12.31
OTHER THINGS TOGETHER.
HE SAID I THINK WHICH CAN DO
00:39:12.31\00:39:15.15
THIS TOGETHER. THESE
WERE THE PRECURSORS IN MY
00:39:15.15\00:39:18.55
THINKING OF HOW IT MADE IT
SIMPLE -- JUST STOIFRPLY SAY,
00:39:18.55\00:39:23.63
OKAY. WHAT DO WE DO FIRST?
00:39:23.63\00:39:26.16
WELL, WE KNOW HOW
GOD GAVE THE PROPERTY.
00:39:26.16\00:39:29.83
WELL, WE CAN'T GET
BACK THERE WITHOUT A ROAD.
00:39:29.83\00:39:34.10
SO ANYBODY WOULD
HAVE THOUGHT OF THAT.
00:39:34.10\00:39:36.30
[ LAUGHTER ] >>
LET'S GET A ROAD.
00:39:36.30\00:39:39.37
TO ANSWER YOUR QUESTION, WAS HE
-pDID NOT KNOW. BUT GOD GAVE US
00:39:39.37\00:39:45.51
STEP AT A TIME, AND ONLY AS THAT
WAS FULFILLED, THEN IT WAS THE
00:39:45.51\00:39:49.32
NEXT STEP. AND I NEVER HEARD
DANNY EVER SAY WELL LET'S GO GET
00:39:49.32\00:39:56.69
THE 25 TON OF GRAVEL.
FIRST OF ALL, HE SAID LET'S GET
00:39:56.69\00:39:58.93
A ROAD. HOW ARE WE
GOING TO BUILD THAT
00:39:58.93\00:40:01.83
ROAD? WHERE ARE
WE GOING TO GET THE
00:40:01.83\00:40:05.57
EQUIPMENT. DOLLBY
IN FACT FROM BENTON, HE
00:40:05.57\00:40:08.77
HAPPENED TO HAVE A
CAT THERE, A SIX BLADE.
00:40:08.77\00:40:10.97
AND HE SAID -- I TOLD
HIM WHAT WAS GOING ON.
00:40:10.97\00:40:15.11
HE SAID GOD HAS
IMPRESSED US TO BUILD A STATION.
00:40:15.11\00:40:18.91
THIS LADY GAVE US PROPERTY,
AND THESE ARE THINGS THAT ARE
00:40:18.91\00:40:22.95
SPECIAL TO ME. WE
NEVER MADE A MOVE WITHOUT
00:40:22.95\00:40:25.95
PRAYING. >> AMEN.
00:40:25.95\00:40:26.96
>> PEOPLE COULD SEE
THAT TIME AND TIME AGAIN.
00:40:26.96\00:40:28.89
>> COME ON. >>
WHEN BROTHER AND I WAS
00:40:28.89\00:40:32.83
KNEELING ON THE GROUND WHEN
THERE WAS NOTHING THERE, AND
00:40:32.83\00:40:35.46
CRYING OUT TO GOD,
WHAT IS NEXT? WHAT IS NEXT?
00:40:35.46\00:40:38.90
SEND US SOMEBODY,
BECAUSE WE DO NOT KNOW.
00:40:38.90\00:40:41.70
AND THIS MAN FULFILLED -- BUT HE
SAID I JUST HAPPEN TO HAVE THIS
00:40:41.70\00:40:47.24
LITTLE CAT OVER HERE, AND HE
SAID I TRUST YOU GUYS -- JUST
00:40:47.24\00:40:52.35
TAKE IT AND KEEP TRACK OF
THE HOURS AND PAY ME LIKE $20 AN
00:40:52.35\00:40:56.79
HOUR. AND I
SAID, OH, PRAISE GOD.
00:40:56.79\00:40:59.75
OH, THAT'S
WONDERFUL. BUT YOU KNOW WHAT?
00:40:59.75\00:41:02.42
WE DON'T HAVE A TRUCK
OR TRAILER TO PULL IT.
00:41:02.42\00:41:05.79
AND I SAID WE DON'T
HAVE A WAY TO GET IT THERE.
00:41:05.79\00:41:08.80
AND HE SAID, WELL, BLESS YOUR
HEARTS, I'LL DELIVER IT THEN.
00:41:08.80\00:41:13.54
AND AS SOON AS THAT
WAS OVER TOOK IT BACK.
00:41:13.54\00:41:17.74
JUST STEP AFTER STEP.
>> GOD HONORED YOUR FAITH.
00:41:17.74\00:41:21.08
>> BUT IT INCREASED. >> YEAH.
00:41:21.08\00:41:24.98
>> I HAVE SEEN IT INCREASE
IN MY BROTHER'S LIFE AND SEEN IT
00:41:24.98\00:41:29.62
INCREASE IN MY OWN LIFE.
IT WAS ANSWERED EVERY TIME ON
00:41:29.62\00:41:33.82
TIME. >> WAS IT
THE McCULLPINS THAT
00:41:33.82\00:41:38.33
WOULD EAT OFF OF THE
BACK OF THEIR STATION WAGON.
00:41:38.33\00:41:40.96
>> YEAH. >> AND
DIDN'T THEY DO SOMETHING
00:41:40.96\00:41:43.20
WITH THEIR PROPERTY?
>> I HAD WRITTEN A LITTLE
00:41:43.20\00:41:49.77
NEWSLETTER. AND I
MAILED THESE ON A LITTLE
00:41:49.77\00:41:54.18
COMMODORE 64. >> OH, WOW.
00:41:54.18\00:41:56.58
>> MY FIRST COMPUTER. >>
LOOK AT JILL AND GREG, THEY
00:41:56.58\00:42:01.58
ARE LIKE WHAT? >> AND
THE LORD NEW BECAUSE I
00:42:01.58\00:42:05.59
WAS NEVER A GUY -- IN THE 60S
IN HIGH SCHOOL, GUYS DIDN'T TAKE
00:42:05.59\00:42:11.73
TYPING, SO I HAD NEVER
DONE IT BEFORE, BUT THERE WAS A
00:42:11.73\00:42:14.36
LINE -- WHEN WE WERE LOOKING FOR
AN EXTRA SUBJECT, A BUDDY AND
00:42:14.36\00:42:19.40
MINE, AND ALL OF THESE GUYS WAS
HERE, AND I SAID I WANT TO BE IN
00:42:19.40\00:42:24.54
THAT LINE, THERE ARE 29 GIRLS,
I WONDER WHAT THAT IS ABOUT?
00:42:24.54\00:42:29.78
AS LONG AS IT'S NOT
HOME EC. BUT WHAT IS THIS?
00:42:29.78\00:42:33.42
THEY SAID THIS IS TYPING.
I SAID I WANT TO TAKE TYPING,
00:42:33.42\00:42:36.95
DON'T YOU? AND HE
SAID, YEAH, WE WANT TO
00:42:36.95\00:42:39.75
TAKE TYPING. SO WE
GOT TO THE GUIDANCE
00:42:39.75\00:42:44.76
COUNSELOR. AND HE
SAID, WHAT ARE YOU DOING
00:42:44.76\00:42:46.93
IN THIS LINE? AND
I SAID WE WANT TO GET
00:42:46.93\00:42:51.87
TYPING. AND HE
SAID WHAT DO YOU WANT TO
00:42:51.87\00:42:55.77
BE A SECRETARY?
HE SAID I DON'T KNOW.
00:42:55.77\00:43:00.81
I'M JUST A KID I DON'T
KNOW WHAT I'M GOING TO BE.
00:43:00.81\00:43:04.21
AND THEY HAD TO TALK TO THE
PRINCIPAL OR SOMEBODY BECAUSE
00:43:04.21\00:43:08.08
MEN DON'T -- HE SAID
WHAT DO YOU NEED TO TYPE FOR?
00:43:08.08\00:43:13.82
I SAID NO. AND
WHEN I WRITE BOOKS I CAN
00:43:13.82\00:43:19.26
WRITE FAST ENOUGH
THAT IT DOESN'T SLOW ME.
00:43:19.26\00:43:22.16
TO PRAISE THE LORD, EVEN BACK
THEN -- BECAUSE IT RUINS YOUR
00:43:22.16\00:43:26.57
CONCENTRATION IF YOU CAN'T TYPE.
AND SO I LEARNED BACK THEN.
00:43:26.57\00:43:32.47
FOR THE WRONG REASONS, BECAUSE
WE WANTED TO BE IN CLASS WITH 29
00:43:32.47\00:43:40.22
GIRLS. SO IT WORKED OUT.
00:43:40.22\00:43:42.22
[ LAUGHTER ] >> THAT
I LEARNED THAT -- THAT I
00:43:42.22\00:43:44.55
LEARNED HOW TO TYPE. BUT
GOING BACK TO KENNY -- KENNY
00:43:44.55\00:43:47.99
HAD A GOOD JOB AT --
THE COAL MINES PAID GOOD.
00:43:47.99\00:43:51.56
YOU COULD GET OUT OF HIGH
SCHOOL AND MAKE A GOOD LIVING.
00:43:51.56\00:43:55.40
YOU DIDN'T NEED AN EDUCATION,
SO YOU COULD MAKE MORE MONEY.
00:43:55.40\00:43:58.97
THE FIRST DAY HE WENT IN THE
COAL MINES, HE MADE MORE MONEY
00:43:58.97\00:44:02.84
THAN THE TEACHERS THAT
HE WENT TO SCHOOL WITH --
00:44:02.84\00:44:06.71
>> AND THEY DID HAVE
RETIREMENT TOO, DANNY.
00:44:06.71\00:44:09.94
>> YEAH, THEY HAD ALL OF
THE HEALTH BENEFITS EVERYTHING.
00:44:09.94\00:44:13.38
>> YEAH. >> WELL, I
HAD SPIT ONE YEAR AS
00:44:13.38\00:44:19.52
A EVANGELIST. AND THE
LORD BLESSED, BUT AFTER
00:44:19.52\00:44:22.66
THAT, I SAID THIS IS NOT
SOMETHING I REALLY WANT TO DO.
00:44:22.66\00:44:25.86
I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO, SO
HE WAS BUILDING A NEW HOUSE FOR
00:44:25.86\00:44:30.37
HIMSELF. HE COULD AFFORD IT.
00:44:30.37\00:44:32.43
HE WAS IN THE COAL MINES
NOW. WE WORKED WITH MY UNCLE
00:44:32.43\00:44:39.74
CLIFFORD. WE WEREN'T
REAL CARPENTERS, SO I
00:44:39.74\00:44:42.61
WOULD GO OVER AND HELP
HIM. AND ABOUT THE TIME HE WAS
00:44:42.61\00:44:47.05
FINISHED, I SAID WHY
DON'T WE GO INTO CONSTRUCTION?
00:44:47.05\00:44:50.75
I HAD NOTHING TO
LOSE. [ LAUGHTER ]
00:44:50.75\00:44:53.19
>> KENNY HAD A JOB THAT
WAS -- >> WITH BENEFITS.
00:44:53.19\00:44:56.99
>> WITH BENEFITS. SO HE
DIDN'T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT
00:44:56.99\00:45:03.13
ANYTHING. AND HAD
ENOUGH MONEY TO BUILD A
00:45:03.13\00:45:05.57
HOUSE IN HIS EARLY 20S. SO
I SAID WHY DON'T WE GO INTO
00:45:05.57\00:45:11.91
CONSTRUCTION.
COINCIDENCE OR DIVINE
00:45:11.91\00:45:15.74
PROVIDENCE. BUT
OUR UNCLE SAID I GOT A
00:45:15.74\00:45:20.22
FRIEND WHO LIVED OUT BY THE WEST
FRANKFORT LAKE, WAS BORN AND
00:45:20.22\00:45:26.29
RAISED HERE. HE IS
RETIRING, AND HE CAME DOWN
00:45:26.29\00:45:29.36
HERE, AND HE IS WANTING TO BUILD
A HOUSE -- HAVE A HOUSE BUILT,
00:45:29.36\00:45:33.50
CAN HE -- AND I TOLD HIM MY
NEPHEW JUST BUILT A NEW HOME,
00:45:33.50\00:45:41.50
CAN WE LOOK AT YOUR
HOUSE? AND WE SAID SURE.
00:45:41.50\00:45:45.01
AND HE TOLD KENNY, HE WAS
BRINGING THIS GUY OVER TO LOOK
00:45:45.01\00:45:50.18
-AT THE HOUSE. HE WAS A
GREAT ARTIST, BUT ANYWAY HE WAS
00:45:50.18\00:45:56.52
RETIRING -- WANTED TO RETIRE
IN LAKE OF WEST FRANKFORT.
00:45:56.52\00:45:59.25
SO HE COME OVER AND LOOKED
AT THIS HOUSE, AND I WAS THERE.
00:45:59.25\00:46:02.72
AND I REMEMBER AFTER HE LOOKED
AT IT -- LOOKED AT KENNY AND HE
00:46:02.72\00:46:07.13
SAID WILL YOU BUILD
ME ONE JUST LIKE THAT?
00:46:07.13\00:46:09.93
AND HE SAID WELL, I DON'T --
AND I SAID, SURE WE'LL BUILD YOU
00:46:09.93\00:46:19.17
ONE. AND KENNY SID, OH, I GUESS.
00:46:19.17\00:46:21.81
SO HE SAID HOW MUCH
WOULD YOU CHARGE ME.
00:46:21.81\00:46:25.01
AND KENNY -- I HAD NO IDEA, BUT
HE KNEW HOW MUCH HE HAD IN IT.
00:46:25.01\00:46:32.79
AND HE SAID LET ME SEE, AND THEY
LEFT, AND A WEEK OR SO LATER,
00:46:32.79\00:46:40.90
KENNY FIGURED
IT OUT WHAT IT WAS.
00:46:40.90\00:46:45.63
$18,000, I BELIEVE WE SETTLED
ON ON BUILDING THIS NEW HOME FOR
00:46:45.63\00:46:50.01
THE GUY. WELL,
HE IS FROM CHICAGO.
00:46:50.01\00:46:52.61
THAT SOUNDED LIKE
PEANUTS TO HIM, RIGHT?
00:46:52.61\00:46:55.48
KENNY SAID I THINK WE
WOULD MAKE ABOUT $135 A WEEK.
00:46:55.48\00:47:00.35
NOW HE WAS MAKING A WHOLE
LOT MORE THAN THAT IN THE COAL
00:47:00.35\00:47:04.82
MINES, BUT WE FIGURED IF WE
CHARGED TOO MUCH, WE WON'T BE
00:47:04.82\00:47:08.42
ABLE TO GET THE JOB. SO
THE GUY COME BACK AND SAID
00:47:08.42\00:47:11.63
DID YOU COME UP WITH A FIGURE?
AND KENNY SAID, ABOUT $18,000.
00:47:11.63\00:47:23.71
AND HE SAID WELL, HERE'S A CHECK
FOR 10,000, YOU GO AHEAD AND GET
00:47:23.71\00:47:29.14
STARTED ON MY HOUSE.
THAT'S THE WAY THAT HAPPENED.
00:47:29.14\00:47:32.55
WE NEVER RAN OUT OF WORK FOR
YEARS, BECAUSE BY THE TIME WE
00:47:32.55\00:47:35.85
BUILT THAT HOUSE, OTHER PEOPLE
CAME BY, OTHER PEOPLE CAME BY.
00:47:35.85\00:47:40.26
>> HOW DID YOU DIG
THE FOOTINGS? >> BY HAND.
00:47:40.26\00:47:43.69
>> OH. >>
LITERALLY WOULD DIG FOOTINGS
00:47:43.69\00:47:47.03
WITH A SHOVEL, BECAUSE WE DIDN'T
FEEL LIKE WE WOULD AFFORD TO
00:47:47.03\00:47:52.93
RENT A BACKHOE.
LATER, IT WAS LIKE, THAT WAS
00:47:52.93\00:47:56.97
DUMB. [ LAUGHTER ]
00:47:56.97\00:47:58.07
>> IT WOULD HAVE DONE SO MUCH
MORE WORK SO QUICKLY THAT --
00:47:58.07\00:48:01.08
>> YEAH. >> -- IN
THE LONG RUN OF THE
00:48:01.08\00:48:04.08
THINGS, AND TIME WISE IT WOULD
HAVE PAID FOR ITSELF, BUT WE
00:48:04.08\00:48:09.45
ENDED UP DOING
EVERYTHING BY HAND.
00:48:09.45\00:48:12.79
RONNIE COULD DO WIRING, SO ALL
OF THAT WE'RE -- WE'RE TELLING
00:48:12.79\00:48:16.89
SOME OF THESE THINGS THAT
YOU MAY -- WHERE DOES THIS GO?
00:48:16.89\00:48:20.00
I WANT TO LET YOU
KNOW, GOD HAS A PLAN FOR YOU.
00:48:20.00\00:48:23.16
>> AMEN. >> NOTHING HAPPENS BY
00:48:23.16\00:48:27.44
COINCIDENCE, AND WHATEVER YOUR
TALENTS AND GIFTS AND ABILITIES,
00:48:27.44\00:48:30.77
WHATEVER YOU HAVE DONE IN THE
PAST, GOD WILL USE THAT FOR THE
00:48:30.77\00:48:34.81
PRESENT AND THE
FUTURE IF YOU GIVE IT TO HIM.
00:48:34.81\00:48:37.48
WE CAN TALK LATER
ABOUT YVONNE AND HER GIFTS.
00:48:37.48\00:48:40.98
BUT MOLLIE WE HAVE A FEW
MINUTES LEFT IN THE FIRST HOUR.
00:48:40.98\00:48:45.05
THE SECOND HOUR WE REALLY WANT
TO CONCENTRATE ON THE MISSION OF
00:48:45.05\00:48:49.79
3ABN. CONCENTRATE ON THE TIMES.
00:48:49.79\00:48:53.13
THINGS LIKE THE SHOOTING AT THE
CHURCH RECENTLY, TERRIBLE NEWS,
00:48:53.13\00:48:57.03
AND MORE AND MORE CRIME,
MORE VIOLENCE, AND SUPPOSEDLY A
00:48:57.03\00:49:01.74
CHRISTIAN NATION. WHY?
00:49:01.74\00:49:02.87
WELL, WE HAVE ANSWERS FOR THAT.
THE BIBLE HAS ANSWERS FOR THAT,
00:49:02.87\00:49:06.27
AND WE WANT TO TALK ABOUT SOME
OF THOSE, AND 3ABN, OUR MISSION,
00:49:06.27\00:49:13.78
OUR FOCUS. BUT
MOLLIE GIVE ME HOW
00:49:13.78\00:49:19.15
YOUR -- CHARISMATIC
PASTORS, SUCCESSFUL.
00:49:19.15\00:49:25.26
WHY DI YOU MAKE
SUCH A DRASTIC CHANGE?
00:49:25.26\00:49:27.50
>> WELL, I WENT THROUGH A
DIFFICULT TIME IN MY LIFE,
00:49:27.50\00:49:30.53
BUT -- BUT -- AND -- AND
AT THAT TIME YOU REACHED OUT.
00:49:30.53\00:49:34.47
YOU -- AND -- AND WE TALK ABOUT
3ABN BEING TH MENDING BROKEN
00:49:34.47\00:49:38.71
PEOPLE NETWORK, AND
I WAS A BROKEN PERSON.
00:49:38.71\00:49:41.01
AND YOU REACHED OUT AND BROUGHT
ME INTO 3ABN, AND I HAVE BEEN
00:49:41.01\00:49:45.15
HEALED. HEY, GUYS, I'M HEALED.
00:49:45.15\00:49:48.15
[ LAUGHTER ] >> BUT,
DANNY, LET'S GO ALL THE
00:49:48.15\00:49:51.05
WAY BACK TO WHERE YOU CALLED
HAL, AND SAID I WANT TO TELL YOU
00:49:51.05\00:49:55.36
WHAT THE LORD SHARED WITH ME
LAST NIGHT -- SEE WHAT YOU WERE
00:49:55.36\00:49:58.63
DOING -- AND SOMETHING I
JUST HEARD KENNY SAY HE DID.
00:49:58.63\00:50:02.00
YOU KNOW WHY THAT MAN
GAVE THE GREATER -- OR THAT BIG
00:50:02.00\00:50:06.60
PIECE -- KENNY WAS
CASTING THE VISION.
00:50:06.60\00:50:09.94
HE CAST THE VISION, AND WHAT
YOU DID WITH HAL AND MYSELF, YOU
00:50:09.94\00:50:13.71
CAST THE VISION. ALL OF
THIS TALKING, YOU LEARNED
00:50:13.71\00:50:16.98
HOW TO DO, AND THAT
YOU WERE SO GOOD AT.
00:50:16.98\00:50:20.25
OH, LET ME TELL Y'ALL, WHEN I
FIRST MET DANNY -- WE HAD Y'ALL
00:50:20.25\00:50:26.59
OVER FOR SUPER A COUPLE OF
TIMES, AND I WOULD LOVE TO HAVE
00:50:26.59\00:50:33.40
DANNY OVER, BECAUSE I'M NOT A
BIG TALKER, AND I COULD INVITE
00:50:33.40\00:50:38.20
HIM OVER, HAVE HIM SIT DOWN, AND
HAL DIDN'T HAVE TO SAY ANOTHER
00:50:38.20\00:50:43.51
WORD. [ LAUGHTER ]
00:50:43.51\00:50:44.47
>> IT IS THE GIFT
THAT GOD HAD GIVEN HIM.
00:50:44.47\00:50:48.88
HONEY, THAT'S
CASTING THE VISION.
00:50:48.88\00:50:50.55
AND IF YOU HADN'T CAST
THAT VISION, AND THE REST OF US
00:50:50.55\00:50:54.38
HADN'T CAUGHT IT -- I WANT
TO READ THIS OUT [ INAUDIBLE ] A
00:50:54.38\00:51:01.72
BACKUP GIVEN A HERE IS WHAT THE
WORD SAYS IN HABAKA, THEN THE
00:51:01.72\00:51:07.66
LORD ANSWERED ME AND
SAID, WRITE THE VISION.
00:51:07.66\00:51:10.77
WHEN DID YOU LEARN HOW TO TYPE?
RIGHT THE VISION AND MAKE IT
00:51:10.77\00:51:16.91
[ INAUDIBLE ] REMEMBER
WHEN YOU SAID, YOU SENT OUT HOW
00:51:16.91\00:51:19.91
MANY -- 200 -- >> UH-HUH.
00:51:19.91\00:51:23.48
>> WHAT WAS WRITTEN ON
THAT THAT YOU SENT OUT --
00:51:23.48\00:51:27.72
>> THE VISION. >>
IT WAS THE VISION.
00:51:27.72\00:51:30.89
SO USE THAT COMMODORE COMPUTER
RIGHT, AND MAKE THE VISION PLAIN
00:51:30.89\00:51:37.79
ON THAT PAPER. IF
THOSE PEOPLE HADN'T CAUGHT
00:51:37.79\00:51:41.20
THAT VISION, THEY WOULDN'T
HAVE GIVEN YOU THE MONEY TO GO
00:51:41.20\00:51:46.20
FORWARD WITH THIS VISION.
YOU WERE JUST DOING WHAT GOD
00:51:46.20\00:51:49.40
TOLD HABAKA TO DO. AND I
WANT TO SPEAK THIS TO GREG
00:51:49.40\00:51:53.71
AND JILL. OH, WE
HAVE SEEN THE UNFOLDING
00:51:53.71\00:51:56.85
OF THE VISION, AND YOU KNOW
WHAT I SEE RIGHT NOW IN 3ABN?
00:51:56.85\00:52:00.12
DO YOU KNW WHAT IT MEANS WHEN
AN ATHLETE CATCHES THEIR SECOND
00:52:00.12\00:52:04.75
BREATH? YOU
KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS?
00:52:04.75\00:52:08.16
HONEY, WE'RE
CATCHING OUR SECOND BREATH.
00:52:08.16\00:52:11.06
YOU THINK WE HAVE BEEN
ACCOMPLISHING MIGHTILY THE LAST
00:52:11.06\00:52:15.60
33 YEARS, YOU JUST WAIT.
WE ARE CATCHING OUR SECOND
00:52:15.60\00:52:19.87
BREATH. THE
VISION, GREG, IS YET FOR AN
00:52:19.87\00:52:23.10
APPOINTMENTED TIME, BUT IN THE
ENGSD IT WILL SPEAK AND IT WILL
00:52:23.10\00:52:27.04
NOT LIE, THOUGH IT TERRIES.
WE HAVEN'T SEEN THE FULL
00:52:27.04\00:52:31.78
UNFOLDING OF THE VISION.
WE HAVE JUST SEEN OUR PORTION.
00:52:31.78\00:52:34.32
WAIT FOR IT, BECAUSE IT WILL
SURELY COME, IT WILL NOT TARRY.
00:52:34.32\00:52:41.92
>> SECOND WIND.
GETTING READY TO GO ON A
00:52:41.92\00:52:45.46
MARATHON. >> THAT'S RIGHT.
00:52:45.46\00:52:46.29
>> EVERYTHING THAT IS GOING ON
IN THE WORLD, WHAT 3 -- WHAT GOD
00:52:46.29\00:52:50.73
HAS ACCOMPLISHED THROUGH
3ABN TO THIS DATE IS AMAZING.
00:52:50.73\00:52:55.30
>> YES. >> AND
WE'RE SEEING -- THIS HAS
00:52:55.30\00:52:58.14
BEEN AN INCREDIBLE YEAR OF
DIFFICULTY, BUT GOD IS OPENING
00:52:58.14\00:53:02.34
UP THE WAY FOR SO MUCH, AND SO
MANY PEOPLE ARE COMING INTO THE
00:53:02.34\00:53:06.15
CHURCH, BUT WHAT WE HAVE
SEEN SO FAR AS -- IN THE LOCAL
00:53:06.15\00:53:18.03
VERN VERNACULAR, YOU AIN'T SEEN
00:53:18.03\00:53:19.53
NOTHING YET. BECAUSE
GOD RAISED 3ABN FOR SUCH
00:53:19.53\00:53:21.83
A TIME AS THIS. >> AMEN.
00:53:21.83\00:53:23.73
>> AND IT IS SOMETHING THAT IS
GETTING READY TO PASS GENERATION
00:53:23.73\00:53:27.70
TO GENERATION. BUT IT
IS -- IT -- YOU HAD TO BE
00:53:27.70\00:53:32.94
A MATURE MINISTRY TO
REACH OUT DURING THESE TIMES.
00:53:32.94\00:53:37.55
>> YVONNE, YOU HAD A VERY
SUCCESSFUL MUSIC MINISTRY, OR
00:53:37.55\00:53:43.92
ACTUALLY MINISTRY IN THE WORLD,
THEN YOU -- YOU GOT YOUR -- YOUR
00:53:43.92\00:53:49.56
DOCTORATE IN
NATURAL PATHIC MEDICINE.
00:53:49.56\00:53:54.56
YOU SANG, BUT IT WASN'T A
FULL-TIME MINISTRY, SINGING FOR
00:53:54.56\00:53:59.53
THE LORD. BUT YOU
CAME TO 3ABN TO SHARE A
00:53:59.53\00:54:02.80
BOOK YOU HAD WRITTEN. DID
YOU EVER DREAM YOU WOULD BE
00:54:02.80\00:54:07.04
HERE TODAY? >> NO.
00:54:07.04\00:54:08.61
NO. I WAS TELLING THE FOLKS THIS
00:54:08.61\00:54:12.55
PAST SABBATH, HOW -- YOU JUST
DON'T KNOW WHERE GOD IS GOING
00:54:12.55\00:54:17.29
TO-TAKE YOU. AND YOU COULD BE IN
THE MIDST OF YOUR DARKEST TIME,
00:54:17.29\00:54:21.56
AND IF YOU JUST HOLD ON TO
JESUS, HE WILL BRING YOU THROUGH
00:54:21.56\00:54:27.50
AND DO EXCEEDINGLY AND
ABUNDANTLY MORE THAN YOU COULD
00:54:27.50\00:54:31.17
EVER ASK OR THINK, AND WHEN
I CAME OUT HERE FOR THE BOOK,
00:54:31.17\00:54:37.54
PASTOR CA SAID HE WAS GOING
TO INTERVIEW ME, BUT HE WAS
00:54:37.54\00:54:41.71
UNAVAILABLE SO YOU INTERVIEWED
ME. AND WE TALKED ABOUT THE
00:54:41.71\00:54:43.78
BOOK, AND WE TALKED ABOUT MY
HEART FOR THE INNER CITY, AND
00:54:43.78\00:54:50.35
WHEN -- AND I HAD LEFT
MY OCCUPATION OF -- OF A
00:54:50.35\00:55:01.86
PRACTITIONER OF
TRADITIONAL CHINESE MEDICINE. >>
00:55:01.86\00:55:06.57
ACUPUNCTURE. >> ACUPUNCTURE.
I STOPPED DOING ACUPUNCTURE
00:55:06.57\00:55:10.74
BECAUSE OF ITS
ROOTS IN ASTROLOGY.
00:55:10.74\00:55:16.58
AND I DIDN'T KNOW -- EVEN
GETTING THE BOOK PRINTED AND
00:55:16.58\00:55:19.81
GETTING THE WEBSITE, ALL OF THAT
WAS DONE BY THE HAND OF GOD.
00:55:19.81\00:55:22.98
HE WAS CONFIRMING
THAT I WAS TO LEAVE.
00:55:22.98\00:55:25.72
SO I ENDED UP GETTING THE
INTERVIEW WITH YOU, AND THEN YOU
00:55:25.72\00:55:32.39
SAID YOU WERE IMPRESSED THAT I
WOULD BE THE GENERAL MANAGER OF
00:55:32.39\00:55:36.80
THE DARE TO DREAM -- THE
URBAN NETWORK WASN'T THERE YET.
00:55:36.80\00:55:41.00
>> IT JUST DROPPED --
>> WELL, I HAD TO PREPARE
00:55:41.00\00:55:43.91
THOUGH. I HAD TO DO MY -- I HAD
00:55:43.91\00:55:45.71
TO -- I'M TALKING
ABOUT -- FOR MY SERMON NOW.
00:55:45.71\00:55:50.48
JUMPING BACK TO THA. NO,
BUT WE DIDN'T, BUT I THINK
00:55:50.48\00:55:54.75
THAT YOU KNEW THAT GOD WANTED
ME TO DO THIS, AND I -- ONCE YOU
00:55:54.75\00:55:59.19
EXTENDED THAT INVITATION
TO ME, IT WAS AMAZING TO ME.
00:55:59.19\00:56:06.70
>> I TELL PEOPLE WHEN THEY COME
HERE AND WE'RE LOOKING AT WHERE
00:56:06.70\00:56:11.73
THEY FIT IN THE MINISTRY. I
SAY IF YOU CAN GO HOME AN YOU
00:56:11.73\00:56:16.84
DON'T THINK ABOUT THIS ANYMORE,
THEN YOU ARE NOT SUPPOSED TO BE
00:56:16.84\00:56:20.48
HERE, BUT IF YOU GO HOME AND
YOU CAN'T THINK OF ANYTHING ELSE
00:56:20.48\00:56:24.45
EXCEPT FOR 3ABN, THEN
YOU ARE SUPPOSED TO BE HERE.
00:56:24.45\00:56:28.45
>> THAT'S RIGHT. >>
WE'RE GOING TO TAKE A SHORT
00:56:28.45\00:56:34.22
BREAK IN A MOMENT.
WE'RE GOING TO COME
00:56:34.22\00:56:36.36
BACK -- CHRIS -- I KNOW
SHE HAS GOT THINGS TO SAY.
00:56:36.36\00:56:39.53
AND JILL AND GREG, YOU HAVE BEEN
QUIET BECAUSE WE HAVEN'T GIVEN
00:56:39.53\00:56:44.63
YOU MUCH TIME TO TALK. I
WANT TO HEAR YOUR COMING TO
00:56:44.63\00:56:48.64
3ABN, BEING INVOLVED WITH 3ABN
AND MINISTRY, BUT THEN WE REALLY
00:56:48.64\00:56:52.24
WANT TO FOCUS FOR THIS NEXT HOUR
ON THE MISSION US AS CHRISTIANS,
00:56:52.24\00:56:59.38

AMAZING CAMP MEETING.
BECAUSE WHEN WE SEE THE DIVISION
00:57:18.57\00:57:23.81
IN OUR COUNTRY, WE KNOW
THE DEVIL IS ANGRY, AND HE
00:57:23.81\00:57:27.31
HATES -- HE HATES
WHAT IS ABOUT TO HAPPEN.
00:57:27.31\00:57:30.38
WHAT IS ABOUT TO HAPPEN?
JESUS IS ABOUT TO COME BACK.
00:57:30.38\00:57:33.52
>> AMEN. >> BUT HE
SAYS, HE HAS A PEOPLE
00:57:33.52\00:57:37.19

WORLD AND TAKE THE EVER-LASTING
00:57:37.19\00:57:41.39
