IN 1984, THE LORD IMPRESSED ME 01:31 TO BUILD A TELEVISION STATION TO REACH THE WORLD. 01:35 I WON'T GO INTO THE DETAIL OF THAT, BUT WE HAVE A DVD THAT 01:40 WE'LL GIVE 20 YOU ABSOLUTELY FREE, IF YOU JUST CONTACT US, 01:44 WRITE US, CALL US, EMAIL US, WHAT HAVE YOU. 01:48 BUT RIGHT NOW, YOU NOTICE WE HAVE A BRAND NEW OPENING. 01:51 >> I KNOW. >> WE HAVE SISTER MOLLIE 01:54 STEENSON.

WONDERFUL. 03:13 AND THEN WE HAVE THE YOUNGEST FOLK UP HERE. 03:17 GREG AND JILL, BUT THEY HAVE BEEN HERE THE LEAST AMOUNT OF 03:21 TIME. GREG HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN WITH 03:24 3ABN? >> I GAME IN SEPTEMBER 27, 1999. 03:28 SO JUST PAST MY 18TH YEAR. >> 18 YEARS. 03:31 NOW YOU WEREN'T MARRIED WHEN YO CAME? 03:34 >> THAT'S RIGHT. I CAME AS A SINGLE MAN, 03:39 WANDERING AROUND TRYING TO FIND A GREAT LADY. 03:43 AND JILL HAS BEEN HERE 15 YEARS, BECAUSE WE HAVE BEEN MARRIED 15 03:48 YEAR. >> WHAT A BLESSING BOTH OF YOU 03:52 ARE. BUT WE WANT TO SHARE THIS BRAND 03:54 NEW INTRO. AND YOU WERE KIND OF 04:02 INSTRUMENTAL ON THAT? >> YES, AND IT WAS FUN TO DO. 04:09 WE HAVE A COUPLE OF FAMILY MEMBERS -- 04:13 >> WE KEPT THE FOCUS OF MENDING BROKEN PEOPLE. 04:15 >> ABSOLUTELY. >> AND WHEN WE STARTED THIS, 04:22 YVONNE, ONE OF MY GOALS WAS THAT WE COULD BE INSTRUMENTAL, TO 04:30 MEND BROKEN PEOPLE. WHAT I FOUND OUT OVER THE YEARS 04:34 3ABN HAS DONE THAT VERY THING FOR ME. 04:36 >> AMEN. >> THERE IS TIMES I HAVE BEEN 04:41 BROKEN AND NEEDED MENDING, AND THEY HAVE BEEN HERE FOR ME, AND 04:44 OF COURSE, THROUGH THE POWER AND THE ANOINTING OF THE HOLY 04:50 SPIRIT, BUT IT'S A SUCH A BLESSING TO BE INVOLVED IN THE 04:54 MINISTRY. YOU HAVE BEEN HERE HOW MANY 04:56 YEARS? >> SINCE 2010. 04:58 THE TIME HAS FLOWN BY. IT HAS JUST BEEN WONDERFUL TO 05:03 CONTINUALLY SEE BLESSINGS OF GOD ON THIS MINISTRY. 05:10 >> WE CALL HER MISS DARE TO DREAM, AS GENERAL MANAGER OF 05:13 DARE TO DREAM. AND WHAT A GREAT JOB YOU AND 05:17 JASON ARE DOING. >> PRAISE THE LORD. 05:19 >> WE PRAISE THE LORD FOR YOU. SO THIS IS NOT LIKE THE 30TH 05:25 ANNIVERSARY, OR THE 35TH OR THE 25TH. 05:30 WE WANT TO TALK TODAY. WE'LL GIVE YOU A LITTLE BIT OF 05:34 HISTORY, BUT WE MET AS A GROUP, AND WE DECIDED WHAT IS MUCH MORE 05:38 IMPORTANT -- THOUGH HISTORY IS IMPORTANT -- WHAT IS MUCH MORE 05:42 IMPORTANT THAN THE HISTRY, HOW WE GOT STARTED AND ALL OF THAT, 05:46 IS WHAT IS HAPPENING TODAY AT THE PRESENT, AND WHAT IS GOING 05:50 TO BE HAPPENING, WHAT WE PROJECT FOR THE FUTURE, OUR GOALS, OUR 05:54 MISSION FOR 3ABN, AND I'M THANKFUL TO SAY THAT A LOT OF 05:58 TIMES YOU WANT TO CHANGE, RIGHT? IF YOU ARE IN BUSINESS, YOU WANT 06:02 TO CHANGE, BUT WHEN IT COMES TO FOCUSING ON THE GOSPEL, TRUTH IS 06:07 TRUTH, AND TIME SHOULDN'T CHANGE THAT, BUT BECAUSE OF CULTURE AND 06:13 POLITICS AND BECAUSE OF CERTAIN RELIGIONS, ALL KINDS OF THINGS 06:16 THAT ENTER IN TO GET PEOPLE GOING THIS WAY OR GOING THAT 06:20 WAY, AND SO THE DEVIL DOESN'T CARE AS TERESA BOOT USED TO SAY, 06:26 WHAT SIDE OF THE BOAT WE FALL OUT OF, JUST AS LONG AS WE FALL 06:30 OUT. SO WE WANT TO LET YOU KNOW, AND 06:32 WE WANT TO THANK YOU FOR YOUR LOVE AND PRAYERS AND FINANCIAL 06:36 SUPPORT OF 3ABN. THAT 33 YEARS LATER -- BECAUSE 06:39 WHEN THIS FIRST GAME, I WENT TO BROTHER KENNY THE NEXT MORNING. 06:44 BROTHER KENNY SAID LET'S DO IT. LET'S START A MINISTRY TOGETHER. 06:49 SO HE JUMPED ON BOARD. IT SEEMS LIKE I WENT THE 06:54 FOLLOWING DAY TO MISS MOLLIE AND HAL STEENSON, THEY HAD PROBABLY 07:00 THE FASTEST GROWING CHURCH IN SOUTHERN ILLINOIS, AND HUGE 07:04 FACILITY, SO I WENT TO THEM AND TALKED TO THEM. 07:07 THEY DIDN'T KNOW THAT LATER THEY WOULD JUMP ON BOARD. 07:10 BUT THEY WERE INSTRUMENTAL IN HELPING ME WITH THE FAITH THAT I 07:16 NEEDED TO GET STARTED. AND ONE EVENT AFTER ANOTHER 07:23 AFTER ANOTHER THAT AFTER SO MANY THINGS HAPPEN, COINCIDENCE IS 07:27 RULED OUT, AND WE ONLY BELIEVE IN DIVINE PROVIDENCE. 07:32 SO I WAS INSPIRED TO BUILD A STATION THAT WOULD REACH THE 07:42 WORLD. I HAD NO IDEA THAT 33 YEARS 07:45 LATER, WE WOULD BE HERE DOING WHAT WE ARE DOING. 07:48 WHEN GOD IMPRESSES YOU TO DO SOMETHING AS YOU GO FORWARD, HE 07:52 WILL BLESS YOUR GOING -- YOUR GOING FORTH, AND SO THAT'S WHAT 07:56 WE DID. >> AND TO ME THERE ARE SO MANY 08:00 LESSONS IN THAT, BECAUSE FOR ONE THING IF GOD TELLS YOU TO DO 08:04 SOMETHING, AND YOU JUST SIT ON IT, I MEAN, WHAT WOULD HAVE 08:08 HAPPENED HAD YOU NOT OBEYED? WE WOULDN'T HAVE 3ABN, BUT GOD 08:12 GAVE YOU THAT VISION, AND YOU OBEYED HIM, BECAUSE OF BLESSING 08:17 IS ON THE GO!. THAT'S ONE THING, I THINK THAT 08:20 SO MANY THINGS CHANGE IN SOCIETY, BUT GOD'S PRINCIPLES 08:24 DON'T. >> THAT'S RIGHT. 08:25 >> AND 3ABN HAS STOOD ON THE PRINCIPLES OF GOD ALL OF THIS 08:30 TIME, AND GOD CONTINUES TO BLESS. 08:32 BUT YOU STARTED AS A CARPENTER, AND THAT WAS THE THIRD THING I 08:36 WAS GOING TO SAY YOU STARTED AS A CAR -- CARPENTER, AND THAT 08:44 LETS PEOPLE KNOW THAT GOD WILL EQUIP YOU TO DO EVERYTHING THAT 08:47 NEEDS TO BE DONE, AND HE DID THAT WITH YOU. 08:49 >> AMEN. >> WHEN -- WHEN YOU FIRST 08:53 STARTED SPEAKING, HOW DID YOU -- HOW DID YOU GO FROM 08:56 BEING -- LIKE THE CARPENTER TO FEELING AS THOUGH YOU COULD 09:01 REALLY -- YOU COULD REALLY MANAGE A NETWORK? 09:04 A TELEVISION NETWORK? >> WELL, I -- I HAVE TALKED A 09:09 LOT, AND MY BROTHER WILL PROBABLY TELL YOU, I HAVE TALKED 09:15 MY WHOLE LIFE. BECAUSE I AM THE YOUNGEST OF 09:19 FOUR BOTHERS, AND ONE TIME WE WERE IN CALIFORNIA AFTER 3ABN 09:22 STARTED AS WE WERE IN LOMA LINDA, AND I WAS SPEAKING TO A 09:27 LARGE CROWD, AND AFTER IT WAS OVER, SOMEONE CAME UP TO RONNIE 09:32 WHO WAS RUNNING CAMERA, AND HE SAID WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT 09:36 YOUR BROTHER SPEAKING LIKE THAT?-HE DIDN'T SEEM NERVOUS ABOUT IT.-AND RONNIE SAID, ALL I CAN SAY IS I THANK THE LORD THAT ALL OF 09:47 THIS HOT AIR THAT I GREW UP WITH, HAS TURNED INTO SOMETHING. 09:52 DANNY WAS ALWAYS TALKING OR SINGING HIS WHOLE LIFE 09:56 THEY SAID I WAS A HAPPY KID. MY DAD SAID IT WAS BECAUSE I 10:02 DIDN'T HAVE MUCH SENSE, BUT I REALLY STRUGGLED WITH THE 10:07 TALKING IN PUBLIC, WHEN TOMMY AND KAY, MELODY'S MOTHER WHO WAS 10:15 KILLED IN THE AUTOMOBILE ACCIDENT, WHEN SHE AND I AND 10:19 TOMMY STARTED THE SHELTON TRIO IN ABOUT 1969 OR '70, SO MY LOVE 10:26 AND KENNY -- WE WERE CARPENTERS, BUT IT WAS BALL. 10:31 WE PLAYED 100-SOME GAMES A YEAR. PROFESSIONALS ONLY PLAY 160, BUT 10:40 WE FOUND TIME TO PLAY 100 GAMES A SEASON, AND IN THE WINTER WE 10:47 WOULD PLAY BASKETBALL. WE HAVE A LARGE GROUP AND THEN 10:50 OUR FRIENDS, SO MY FOCUS WAS REALLY ON THAT. 10:55 I GOT MARRIED AT A YOUNG AGE, 19 YEARS OLD. 10:59 HAD MELODY WITHIN A YEAR AND A HALF, AND HAD A SMALL FAMILY. 11:04 I COULD TALK, BUT FINALLY I SAID OKAY, I LOVE GOSPEL MUSIC, AND 11:11 SINGING, AND SINGING WITH MY WIFE KAY AT THE TIME, AND TOMMY, 11:14 THIS IS GREAT. WE'LL GO OUT AND DO IT. 11:17 WE WOULD GO IN FRONT OF THE AUDIENCE, AND TOMMY WOULD DO AL 11:20 OF THE TALKING. NOW THOSE OF YOU WHO KNOW TOMMY, 11:25 YOU WOULD CONSIDER HIM QUIETER. [ LAUGHTER ] 11:29 >> ALL RIGHT. YOU DON'T HAVE TO LAUGH THAT 11:32 HARD. BUT OF THE TWO OF US, TOMMY IS 11:35 MUCH QUIETER, BUT HE DID ALL OF THE TALKING. 11:39 SO WE WOULD SING, AND HE WOULD TALK, AND FINALLY, HE WOULD SAY, 11:45 DANNY, WHAT IS ON YOUR HEART TONIGHT? 11:48 GIVE A TESTIMONY. AND I WOULD LOOK AT OUT AT THE 11:52 AUDIENCE LIKE A DEER IN THE HEADLIGHTS AND I WOULD SAY, I 11:56 LOVE THE LORD TONIGHT AND WE WOULD LIKE TO SING AND THEN WE 12:01 WOULD GIVE -- THAT'S ABOUT ALL I COULD SAY. 12:03 AND THERE WAS A REASON FOR THAT. I REALLY DIDN'T HAVE ANYTHING TO 12:08 SAY. >> THAT'S DEEP. 12:08 >> I REALLY DIDN'T HAVE ANYTHING TO SAY. 12:11 SO ANYTHING ELSE WOULD HAVE BEEN A PHONY. 12:14 RIGHT? THERE WAS NOTHING TO SAY. 12:16 AFTER 3ABN, AND I SAW GOD PERFORM SO MANY MIRACLES, IT'S 12:22 LIKE -- SHELLEY KNOWS WHAT I AM TALKING ABOUT, IS THIS ALL OF 12:27 THE TIME I HAVE GOT LEFT? I HAVE SO MUCH TO SAY 12:30 THAT -- ALL OF YOU -- EVERY ONE OF YOU ARE THAT WAY THAT SPEAK. 12:35 SO WHAT I WAS LACKING WAS THE RELATIONSHIP WITH THE LORD. 12:40 >> UH-HUH. >> SO THAT 12:42 WAS -- BECAUSE -- THERE WERE TIMES -- AND I'LL ADMIT THAT OUR 12:46 GOSPEL SINGING -- WE HAD A FLEX BUS, 1948 DIESEL, IF YOU CAN 12:53 IMAGINE THAT, AND WE THOUGHT WE WERE IN TALL COTTON, YOU KNOW, 12:58 HAVING THIS OLD BUS, BUT WE WOULD GO AROUND AND 13:02 TRAVEL -- DECOULD DO SEVERAL HUNDRED MILES AND TRAVEL 13:06 WEEKENDS. AND THERE WAS TIMES WHEN THAT 13:09 GOSPEL SINGING GOT IN MY WAY, BECAUSE IT GOT IN THE WAY OF MY 13:14 SOFTBALL TOURNAMENTS. AND KENNY KNOWS. 13:18 [ LAUGHTER ] >> AND THE BASKETBALL GAMES, BUT 13:21 YOU KNOW WHAT, I CONSIDER MYSELF A CHRISTIAN. 13:24 I WAS A SEVENTH-DAY ADVENTIST. KENNY AND I -- A LOT OF THE 13:29 OTHER GUYS WOULD GO OUT AND DRINK BEER, AND THEY WOULD 13:33 DO -- SOME OF THEM WOULD SMOKE DURING THE GAMES AND USE BAD 13:38 LANGUAGE, BUT SOMEHOW, WE -- WE DIDN'T DO THOSE THINGS, SO 13:43 SOMEHOW YOU KIND OF THE YOU ARE IN A DIFFERENT POSITION, AND I 13:48 DIDN'T REALIZE HOW MUCH I WAS FOOLING MYSELF. 13:51 >> SURE. >> YEAH. 13:53 >> SO AGAIN, BECAUSE WE DIDN'T DO CERTAIN THINGS, IT HAD 13:56 NOTHING TO DO WITH THE RELATIONSHIP WITH JESUS CHRIST, 13:59 IT WAS A LOT OF DOS AND DON'TS. DON'T DO THIS, DON'T DO THAT. 14:06 THERE WERE TIMES I HAVE SAID THIS ON PROGRAMS BEFORE. 14:09 THAT KENNY AND I WOULD HAVE A TOURNAMENT AND BE ON FRIDAY 14:12 NIGHT. >> OH, EASY NOW. 14:13 >> SO IF YOU WANTED FRIDAY NIGHT, YOU WOULD COME BACK AND 14:18 YOUR GAME WOULD BE SABBATH OR SABBATH EVENING, AND WE WENT TO 14:24 STATE FINALS AND WE HAD A PRETTY GOOD TEAM. 14:28 HE WAS A GREAT FAST PITCH. HE WAS A GREAT PITCHER. 14:34 BUT WE WOULD HAVE A TOURNAMENT, AND LET'S SAY ON FRIDAY WE MIGHT 14:38 START AT 7:00. SUNDOWN MIHT BE 8:10, 8:12. 14:44 ALL RIGHT? KENNY AND I WOULD STAY IN THE 14:47 GAME UNTIL ABOUT 8:09, AND THEN CALL TIME-OUT, AND TAKE 14:52 OURSELVES OUT. BECAUSE WE WOULD WANT TO KEEP 14:54 THE SABBATH, RIGHT. AND WE WOULD GO HOME, AND IF WE 14:58 WON, THE TOURNAMENT WOULD START THAT EVENING. 15:02 LET'S SAY AT 7:00. WE WOULD GET IN OUR BALL SUITS, 15:06 DRIVE TO THE BALL DIAMOND, SIT OUT IN THE CAR AND WAIT UNTIL 15:11 8:11, AND THEN CALL TIME-OUT AND PUT OURSELVES BACK IN THE GAME. 15:17 >> OH, LORD HAVE MERCY. >> WE WANTED TO BE SABBATH 15:22 KEEPERS. SHELLEY IS SAYING OH, MY. 15:25 [ LAUGHTER ] >> WELL, CONFESSION IS GOOD FOR 15:27 THE SOUL, BUT HARD ON THE REPUTATION. 15:34 >> I HATE TO SAY IT THAT WAY, DANNY, BUT IT WAS ALMOST LIKE IT 15:38 WAS RIGHT. IT WAS ALMOST LIKE WE DIDN'T 15:40 KNOW ANY BETTER. WE JUST THOUGHT, WELL, WE CAN DO 15:46 THIS AND STILL LOVE JESUS AND STILL MAKE IT TO HEAVEN, BUT WE 15:50 HAD SOME WAKING MOMENTS. >> ABSOLUTELY. 15:53 MY CHANGE CAME WHEN -- AND WE HAD BEEN SINGING, AND MELODY AND 15:57 KAY AND I, AND WE TRAVELED WITH RONDA AND LISA, AND WE TRAVELED 16:03 TO MICHIGAN, AND SOMEONE HAD LOANED US A MOTOR HOME, AND WE 16:11 HAD TRAVELLED 7,000 MILES. AND I WAS GETTING MORE SERIOUS 16:14 ABOUT THE LORD. AND I TOLD THE LORD, WE WANT TO 16:18 DO SOMETHING FOR YOU. WE GOT HOME FROM ONE OF THOSE 16:21 TRIPS, THAT WAS JUNE 30TH, 1982, AND RIGHT AFTER WE GOT HOME. 16:26 KAY HAD A POODLE, AND SO IT WAS IN TOWN, SOMEBODY HAD KEPT IT, 16:30 SO SHE SAID I'M GOING TO TAKE MELODY. 16:33 WE'LL GO PICK UP THE POODLE, AND WE'LL BE RIGHT BACK. 16:37 AND A FEW MINUTES LATER, I HEARD A CAR HORN. 16:41 IT WAS JUST STUCK. AND A NEIGHBOR CAME DRIVING IN 16:46 MY YARD VERY FAST AND SAID SOMEONE HAD RUN A STOP SIGN AND 16:50 HIT THE VAN THEY WERE IN, AND KAY WAS KILLED INSTANTLY, AND 16:55 MELODY HAD BEEN THROWN THROUGH THE FRONT WIND SHIELD. 16:58 SHE HAD A BROKEN ARM, A LOT OF CUTS AND BRUISES, WE TOOK HER TO 17:05 THE HOSPITAL, AND I REMEMBER THAT EVENING -- THAT ALL EVENING 17:09 HER ARM WAS SWELLING AND SHE WAS RUNNING A TEMPERATURE, SO I 17:13 STAYED IN THERE WITH HER IN THE ROOM, SAT BY HER BED LITERALLY 17:17 ALL NIGHT LONG, AND I DIDN'T WANT HER TO BLAME GOD FOR WHAT 17:20 HAD HAPPENED, SO I REMEMBER GOING THROUGH SCRIPTURES WITH 17:25 HER, CASTING ALL OF YOUR CARES, THE 23RD PSALMS, THE LORD IS MY 17:35 SHEPPARD. JESUS SAYS I'M COMING TO GIVE 17:39 YOU LIFE ABUNDANTLY. SO I BEGAN TO TALK TO HER. 17:43 I WANTED HER TO UNDERSTAND THAT SIN, DEATH, DISEASE, AND 17:47 SICKNESS CAME FROM THE DEVIL AND NOT FROM GOD. 17:49 SO BY MORNING, I SAID HONEY WE HAVE TO GET SOMEBODY TO SING FOR 17:54 YOUR MOMMA'S FUNERAL. WHO SHOULD WE GET? 17:59 AND SHE SAID DADDY MOM WOULD WANT ME TO SING AND SO WOULD 18:05 JESUS. WELL, I DIDN'T KNOW HOW SHE WAS 18:08 GOING TO MAKE IT TO THE FUNERAL, SO WE WENT A LITTLE EARLY, AND 18:11 MOM WAS THERE ALREADY IN THE CASKET AT THE CHURCH, SO BEFORE 18:16 PEOPLE CAME IN, WE TURNED ON THE RECORDER, AND WHERE SHE COULD 18:20 STAY SAT DOWN, AND SHE SANG TWO SONGS. 18:26 I WANT TO BE REMEMBERED AS THE GIRL WHO SANG FOR JESUS CHRIST. 18:31 BUT THAT CHANGED MY LIFE, BECAUSE I SAW A LITTLE GIRL WHO 18:34 WAS WILLING TO PUT AWAY ALL OF HER FEELINGS, AND HER MOTHR IS 18:39 LAYING THERE IN THE CASKET RIGHT IN FRONT OF HER, WHO COULD STAND 18:43 THERE AND SING FOR JESUS. AND I SAID LORD, I WANT TO BE 18:47 THE VOICE OF JESUS. I WANT THAT TYPE OF RELATIONSHIP 18:52 THAT MY 11-YEAR-OLD DAUGHTER HAS, BECAUSE I COULDN'T HAVE 18:55 SANG. THERE'S NO WAY I COULD HAVE DONE 18:58 IT, BUT SHE DID IT, SO MY LIFE CHANGED AT THAT POINT, BECAUSE I 19:01 SAID THIS IS WHAT I WANT TO DO. SO KENNY UNDERSTOOD I SAID I 19:06 WON'T BE WORKING CARPENTRY -- MAYBE PART-TIME 19:11 ANYMORE. SO WE BEGAN TO GO TO CHURCHES 19:13 AND SING, AND SHE HAD LOST HER MOM, HER BEST FRIEND, AND NUMBER 19:19 1 NAME ON HER THAT -- YOU KNOW, EVERY DAY, AND SO I DIDN'T WANT 19:24 HER TO HAVE A DADDY, THAT SHE DIDN'T HAVE A DADDY AROUND 19:28 EITHER. SO WE BEGAN TO GO FULL-TIME.-AS WE BEGAN TO SING MORE AND 19:32 MORE. WE WERE INVITED TO DO SOME 19:35 CHRISTIAN TELEVISION PROGRAM, AND SO WOULD SEE THE POWER OF 19:39 CHRISTIAN TELEVISION. I WOULD SAY LORD WHERE ARE 19:43 SEVENTH-DAY ADVENTISTS IN THE MEDIA? 19:45 SHOULDN'T WE BE THE HEADS AND NOT THE TAILS? 19:49 AND I WOULD HEAR PEOPLE SAY THINGS THAT WASN'T TRUE, AND 19:52 THEY HAD AN AUDIENCE, 20, 30 PEOPLE ANSWERING PHONES. 19:57 WHY DON'T WE DO THIS. I'M THANKFUL FOR A FEW PROGRAMS 20:01 THAT WE HAVE THAT SHOWS ON SUNDAY MORNINGS ON SOME CITIES 20:06 AROUND AMERICA AND THE WORLD, BUT WHY DON'T WE HAVE A 20:10 TELEVISION NETWORK? SO THE EARLY MORNING HOURS 20:14 NOVEMBER 15TH, I WAS COMPLAINING TO THE LORD, WHY DOESN'T THE 20:18 CHURCH BUILD A STATION? WHY DOESN'T THIS HAPPEN? 20:20 AND THIS IMPRESSION CAME TO ME. I WANT YOU TO BUILD A TELEVISION 20:24 STATION THAT WOULD REACH THE WORLD WITH AN UNDILUTED THREE 20:31 ANGELS' MESSAGE, ONE THAT WOULD COUNTERACT THE COUNTERFEIT. 20:35 TO TELL YOU THE TRUTH I HAD TO STUDY THE THREE ANGELS' MESSAGE 20:40 MESSAGES. I CAN HOLD MY OWN ABOUT THE 20:42 SABBATH OR THE STATE OF THE DEAD AND THESE THINGS. 20:46 AND I HEARD OF THE THREE ANGELS' MESSAGE, BUT I SAID I HAVE TO 20:49 STUDY THAT OUT. AND UNDILUTED, WHAT DOES THAT 20:52 MEAN? I KNEW THAT WASN'T ME THINKING. 20:55 BUT I SAID I WON'T BEG FOR MONEY OR BORROW MONEY. 20:59 THE FIRST ONE EASY. I DIDN'T HAVE ANY CREDIT, SO I 21:04 COULDN'T HAVE BORROWED ENOUGH TO START ANYTHING. 21:07 AND I DECIDED NOT TO BEG. BUT GOD BEGAN TO OPEN DOORS. 21:14 MOLLIE AND HAL, EVERY STEP WE TOOK, GOD SUPPLIED EVERY NEED. 21:19 >> AMEN. >> AND WE DIDN'T KNOW WHERE WE 21:21 WERE GOING. SO WHAT HELPED ME IN MY SPEAKING 21:25 WAS NOW I HAD A TESTIMONY. >> YES. 21:27 >> THAT'S RIGHT. >> BUT I THOUGHT I WAS DOING 21:29 OKAY, AND I WASN'T GETTING NERVOUS, BECAUSE EVERYWHERE I 21:33 WOULD GO, I WOULD TELL PEOPLE I'M SO EXCITED ABOUT WHAT GOD IS 21:38 DOING, I CAN'T WAIT TO SHARE IT. UNTIL A FEW YEARS AFTER WE 21:42 STARTED I WAS INVITED TO SPEAK AT ANDREWS UNIVERSITY, SO I WAS 21:47 STANDING BEHIND THE STAGE GETTING READY TO COME UP, AND IT 21:51 HOLDS ABOUT 3,000 PEOPLE, AND ALL OF A SUDDEN FOR THE FIRST 21:55 TIME -- AND I DIDN'T GET NERVOUS WHEN I SPOKE. 21:58 YVONNE I LOOKED OUT INTO THE CROWD, AND I SAID ALMOST EVERY 22:02 ONE OF THESE PEOPLE ARE PHD'S, THEY ARE ENGLISH TEACHERS, 22:06 THEY -- EVERY ONE OF THEM ARE HERE BECAUSE THEY HAVE MASTER'S 22:11 OR DOCTORS, OR THEY ARE STUDENTING STUDIES THIS STUFF, 22:16 AND I HAVE BEEN TO HIGH SCHOOL. AND I GOT NERVOUS. 22:24 EVEN AS A KID, MY DAD WOULD SAY DON'T YOU EVER GET NERVOUS? 22:30 AND I WOULD SAY NO, AM I SUPPOSED TO? 22:34 AND HE WOULD SAY I DON'T THINK YOU ARE ALL THERE. 22:37 [ LAUGHTER ] >> BUT THIS TIME, I WAS 22:39 LIKE -- I'M GO OUT TO TALK TO ALL OF THESE PEOPLE, I'M 22:43 INTIM INTIMIDATED, AND SO I SAID A 22:50 PRAYER. LORD LET THESE PEOPLE HEAR WHAT 22:52 THEY NEED TO HEAR. AFTER THE SERMON -- AND THIS WAS 22:55 LIFE-CHANGING FOR ME. THERE WERE HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE 22:58 WHO CAME BY AND I WAS SHAKING HANDS, AND ONE PERSON IN 23:02 PARTICULAR -- I DON'T KNOW IF IT WAS YOU THAT WAS THERE THAT WAS 23:06 WITH ME -- IT MAY HAVE BEEN DEE. AND WE WERE SHAKING HANDS, AND 23:10 SO SOMEBODY SAID, I JUST WANT TO THANK YOU FOR TALKING ABOUT 23:14 SPREADING BOOKS LIKE THE LEAVES OF AUTUMN. 23:17 WE USED TO DO THAT -- HE SAID I USED TO HAVE A MINISTRY, I WOULD 23:21 TAKE STUDENTS EVERY WEEK, WE WOULD TAKE ALL OF THESE BOOKS 23:24 AND PASS THEM OUT AND -- AND THIS HELPED ME SO MUCH WHEN YOU 23:29 TALKED ABOUT IT, I'M GOING TO DO IT AGAIN 23:31 AND I LOOKED OVER AT THE PERSON NEXT TO ME, AND I SAID I DIDN'T 23:36 SAY ANYTHING ABOUT PASSING OUT BOOKS. 23:38 I'M IN TELEVISION. I'M JUST TRYING TO WORK WITH THE 23:41 NEW TELEVISION NETWORK. I SAID I DIDN'T DO THAT. 23:46 WELL, WE WENT BACK, AND MOM FORD, WATCHED THE WHOLE THING. 23:51 I DIDN'T SAY ANYTHING ABOUT PASSING OUT BOOKS, SO IT 23:54 OCCURRED TO ME, YAY, THE LORD DID EXACTLY WHAT I ASKED HIM TO 24:00 DO. HE LET THE PEOPLE HEAR WHAT THEY 24:03 NEEDED TO HEAR. SO EVER SINCE THEN, WHEN I GO 24:06 SOMEWHERE, I DON'T WORRY ABOUT IT. 24:09 I'LL READ AND PRAY, AND SPENDING MORE TIME IN PRAYERS THAN 24:13 READING. LORD, WHAT IS IT THAT YOU WANT 24:17 ME TO SAY TO FOLKS? AND AS SOON AS I GET OUT IF I 24:20 HAVE WRITTEN NOTES, THE LORD WILL CHANGE ME IN A TOTALLY 24:25 DIFFERENT WAY. NOW, ON THE OTHER HAND, YVONNE 24:29 WAS ASKED TO SPEAK IN CLEVELAND, AND I THINK FOR -- WHAT? 24:34 THE LAST TWO MONTHS SHE HAS PUT HUNDREDS OF HOURS INTO ONE TALK. 24:39 >> BUT IT'S A DYNAMITE TALK. >> THE LORD BLESSED. 24:42 HE REALLY DID. HE REALLY DID. 24:44 I NEED TO SAY A SPECIAL SHOUT-OUT TO THE WONDERFUL 24:47 PEOPLE IN THE CONGREGATION THERE AT GLENVILLE PRESENT TRUTH 24:53 SEVENTH-DAY ADVENTIST CHURCH IN CLEVELAND. 24:55 IT WAS A BLESSING TO BE THERE. IT WAS WOMEN'S MINISTRY DAY. 24:59 AND THEY WERE WONDERFUL. AND THE BLESSING IS ON THE GO, -BECAUSE THAT IS DEFINITELY OUT 25:04 OF MY COMFORT ZONE, AND -- BUT -- BUT WHAT I FOUND 25:08 WAS IN PREPARING, THE LORD WAS BLESSING ME. 25:11 >> THERE YOU GO. >> THAT'S RIGHT. 25:13 >> SO I WAS LEARNING, AND I WAS -- IT WAS JUST -- IT WAS A 25:17 BLESSING FOR ME, AND THEN TO SHARE THE INFORMATION WITH THE 25:21 WOMEN THERE WAS -- WAS -- WAS JUST A WONDERFUL BLESSING, AND 25:26 PASTOR ANTHONY. GIVE THE PASTOR A SHOUT-OUT, AND 25:29 THE FIRST LADY. IT WAS A WONDERFUL EXPERIENCE. 25:32 >> WELL, THAT'S THE POINT I WAS GOING TO TRY TO MAKE IS THAT ALL 25:35 OF THESE HOURS AND HOURS -- AND I DON'T KNOW IF YU DID A 25:39 HUNDRED HOURS OF STUDYING. YOU COULD HAVE GONE THERE, AND 25:42 I'M SURE GOD COULD HAVE WORKED THAT MIRACLE AND LET THE PEOPLE 25:46 HEAR WHAT THEY NEEDED TO HEAR, BUT THE ONE THAT WAS REALLY 25:49 BLESSED WAS YOU. >> AMEN. 25:53 >> BECAUSE THE LORD WAS TEACHING YOU ALL OF THESE THINGS. 25:55 >> YES. >> SO HE STILL BLESSED IT, BUT I 26:01 DON'T WANT PEOPLE TO THINK THAT YOU HAVE TO BE -- THAT YOU HAVE 26:04 TO BE -- LET'S SEE. I'M NOT PREPARED. 26:07 I'M NOT A PUBLIC SPEAKER. I HAVE GONE TO CHURCHES AND 26:10 PEOPLE COME UP AND SAY HOW DO YOU TALK FOR AN HOUR AND A HALF 26:14 WITH NO -- NO NOTES, NO ANYTHING? 26:17 I JUST CAN'T TALK. I DON'T HAVE THAT GIFT. 26:21 AND I SAY YOU CAN'T TALK -- I HAVE DONE THIS ON SEVERAL 26:24 OCCASIONS -- YOU CAN'T TALK? AND ONE MAN SAID NO, I'M NOT ANY 26:29 GOOD. AND I SAID DO YOU OWN A HOME? 26:32 AND HE SAID YEAH. AND I SAID WHO DID YOU HAVE 26:37 NEGOTIATE THAT HOME WHEN YOU WERE TRYING TO BUY IT? 26:39 WHAT DO YOU MEAN? DID YOU JUST PAY TWHA WERE 26:44 ASKING? NO. 26:45 I SAID WHO DID THAT FOR YOU? HE SAID I DID MY OWN. 26:49 I SAID YOU CAN SPEAK. WHEN YOU BUY A CAR DO YOU JUST 26:55 PAY WHAT THEY ASK, OR DO YOU KNOWING ASSOCIATE, SO YOU CAN 26:59 TALK. BUT LIKE ME, I DIDN'T REALLY 27:02 HAVE ANYTHING TO SAY. WHEN YOU COMMIT YOUR LIFE TO THE 27:06 LORD, AND YOU SEE GOD WORK MIRACLE AFTER MIRACLE, I PROMISE 27:11 YOU, YOUR BIGGEST PROBLEM IS -- AND ASK ANY OF YOU -- IS 27:14 WHAT I HAVE TO LEAVE OUT. AM I TELLING THE TRUTH? 27:17 >> HERE. HERE. 27:18 >> Y'ALL TALK TO ME. >> DANNY ONE THING VERY QUICKLY. 27:24 SPIRITUAL HISTORY HAS SHOWN THAT WHEN THE LORD IS READY TO CAST A 27:30 VISION, HE TENDS TO CAST IT TO SEVERAL INDIVIDUALS. 27:34 AND SETTLES ON THE PERSON THAT RECEIVES THAT VISION. 27:42 ELLEN WHITE FULFILLED THE ASSIGNMENT. 27:44 THERE WERE OTHERS IN THE EARLY -'80S WHO TOYED WITH THE IDEA OF TRYING TO DO SOMETHING 27:50 WORLDWIDE, BUT NEVER FULFILLED IT. 27:52 AND THERE WERE, OF COURSE, VOICES SPEAKING AGAINST IT. 27:56 THIS MINISTRY IS A CREDIT TO GOD, BUT IF THERE IS ANY CREDIT 28:00 THAT CAN GO TO YOU, IT CAN BE SUMMED UP IN THREE WORDS. 28:04 HE SAID YES. BECAUSE THE LORD IS LOOKING FOR 28:07 A PLACE TO LAND. AND ONE NIGHT YOU WERE LOOKING 28:10 FOR SOMETHING TO DO, AND WONDERING WHY IT DOES NOT BEING 28:13 DONE, AND LOOKING FOR A PLACE TO LAND MEANT WHY IS THIS NOT BEING 28:19 DONE? THE LORD SAID. 28:20 IT'S GOING TO BE DONE. IT IS GOING TO BE DONE THROUGH 28:24 YOU. [ LAUGHTER ] 28:26 >> AND SO WE FOUND A VESSEL. HE HAS CHOSEN, ELLEN WHITE SAYS 28:32 TO WED HIS WORK FOR MAN KIND TO MAN KIND. 28:38 THE HOLY SPIRIT IS WORKING, OF COURSE, BUT IT IS WORKING 28:41 THROUGH MAN. GOD NEEDS A MAN, A WOMAN, 28:44 SOMEONE TO WORK THROUGH, AND WE CHOSE YOU, AND WE THANK GOD THAT 28:50 YOU TOOK UP THAT MANTRA, BECAUSE GOD CHOOSES TO USE FRAIL HUMAN 28:55 BEINGS TO YOU AND I. >> KENNY -- HE CAN ADDRESS IT. 28:59 NEITHER ONE OF US HAD ANY VISIONS OF GRANDEUR OR BEING ON 29:04 TELEVISION OR WHATEVER -- HE WAS PREACHING AT THE TIME. 29:06 BUT THAT'S NOT WHY WE DID 3ABN. WE ENDED UP BEING ON THE AIR 29:13 BECAUSE WE DIDN'T HAVE ANYBODY AND AT THE TIME COULDN'T AFFORD 29:16 TO PAY PEOPLE. SO WE WENT ON AND STARTED DOING 29:19 TALK SHOWS AND INTERVIEWS AND WHAT HAVE YOU, AND YOU STARTED 29:24 DOING THE REVELATION SEMINARS AND THINGS LIKE THAT. 29:27 BUT WE DID IT, BECAUSE I COULD NOT DO IT THE WAY IT WAS 29:33 PRESENTED TO ME, I COULD NOT HAVE WALKED AWAY FROM IT, AND 29:38 NOT GONE FORWARD, BECAUSE I KNEW THAT I KNEW THAT I KNEW THAT IT 29:42 WAS OF THE LORD. AND EACH AND EVERY ONE OF US 29:45 KNOW THERE ARE TIMES -- SHELLEY HAVE YOU EVER EXPERIENCES THAT? 29:49 >> ABSOLUTELY. BACK TO WHAT CA WAS SAYING. 29:53 I HAVE THOUGHT IS, AND SOMETIMES PEOPLE GASP WHEN YOU FIRST SAY 29:58 IT. WHAT IF MARY -- WHEN THE ANGELS 30:02 CAME TO THIS YOUNG VIRGIN TEENAGER, AND SAID YOU ARE GOING 30:05 TO HAVE THE SON OF GOD. WHAT IF SHE WOULD HAVE SAID, NOT 30:13 ME? GOD WOULD HAVE FOUND ANOTHER 30:15 HAND MAIDEN TO HAVE HIS SON, BUT WHAT SHE SAID WAS LET IT BE DONE 30:21 TO ME ACCORDING TO YOUR WORD. AND THAT'S -- WHEN THE LORD 30:25 CALLED ME TO FULL-TIME MINISTRY. I THOUGHT WHO AM I? 30:29 BUT I WAS SO ABSOLUTELY CONVINCED THAT I KNEW THAT I 30:34 KNEW THAT I KNEW GOD WAS CALLING ME TO FULL-TIME MINISTRY. 30:37 AND I WILL NEVER FORGET WHEN I ASKED J.D. ABOUT IT -- BECAUSE 30:41 WE WERE GETTING READY TO KICK OFF WHAT COULD HAVE BEEN AN 30:45 EXTREMELY SUCCESSFUL BUSINESS, AND WE HAD ALL OF OUR CLIENTS 30:49 LINED UP, AND WHEN I TOLD J.D., YOU KNOW, I TOLD THE LORD -- THE 30:56 LORD TOLD ME -- WHEN I SAY TOLD ME, YOU KNOW WHAT I'M SAYING -- 31:01 >> UH-HUH. >> HE SAID I NEEDED TO LEAVE IT 31:04 UP TO J.D. SO J.D. JUST SAID TO ME, WHAT IS 31:08 WRONG WITH YOU? HE SAID YOU DON'T SEEM 31:12 INTERESTED IN OUR NEW BUSINESS. AND I SAID I'M INTERESTED. 31:15 HE SAID HONEY IF YOU COULD DO ANYTHING YOU WANTED TO DO, WHAT 31:22 WOULD YOU DO? AND I SAID I WOULD BE TEACHING 31:25 PEOPLE HOW TO PROFIT SPIRITUALLY. 31:27 AND WHEN I TOLD HIM THAT GOD WAS CALLING ME TO FULL-TIME 31:31 MINISTRY -- BUT I SAID, IT DOESN'T HAVE TO BE FULL-TIME 31:34 RIGHT NOW. I DON'T KNOW WHEN IT WOULD BE 31:36 FULL-TIME. MAYBE WE COULD DO A LITTLE OF 31:38 THIS, AND DO THE MINISTRY, AND HE SAID YOU DO KNOW WHAT GOD IS 31:43 SAYING. AND I SAID YEAH, I THINK HE IS 31:46 CALLING ME TO FULL-TIME MINISTRY RIGHT NOW. 31:48 J.D. DIDN'T BLINK, HE JUST SAID WHO AM I TO ARGUE WITH THE LORD. 31:54 SO WHEN YOU KNOW THAT YOU KNOW THAT THE LORD IS CALLING 31:59 YOU -- AND I HAVE SAID THIS MANY TIMES WHEN I'M SPEAKING TO AN 32:03 AUDIENCE ABOUT YOU, THE FAITH OF JESUS WAS GIVEN TO YOU. 32:06 ONE OF THE GIFTS OF THE SPIRIT IS FAITH. 32:09 WE HAVE ALL BEEN GIVEN A MEASURE OF FAITH, BUT GOD GAVE YOU THE 32:14 GIFT OF THE SPIRIT. HE GAVE YOU THE GIFT OF FAITH, 32:19 BECAUSE WHEN WE LOOK BACK -- WE HAVE A NEW EMPLOYEE THAT HAS 32:23 QUITE AN IMPRESSIVE CORPORATE HISTORY, AND I TOLD HIM -- I 32:27 SAID HAVE YOU HEAD THE MIRACLE STORIES HERE? 32:29 HE SAID WELL, A FEW, AND I GOT A COPY OF MENDING BROKEN PEOPLE TO 32:35 GIVE TO HIM, AND HE CAME IN AND HE WAS JUST LIKE, WOW. 32:40 THIS -- WHEN YOU -- WHEN GOD CALLS YOU, AND HE GIVES 32:44 YOU -- THE FAITH HE HAD TO GAVE YOU TO INITIATE THIS WORK, IT'S 32:49 A GOOD THING YOU DIDN'T KNOW WHAT IT WAS GOING TO REQUIRE. 32:51 [ LAUGHTER ] >> YEAH. 32:53 >> BUT THE FAITH HE GAVE YOU -- IT'S ALL TO HIS CREDIT. 32:56 I MEAN GLORY TO GOD FOR WHAT HE HAS DONE. 33:00 AND I PRAISE GOD BECAUSE I DON'T KNOW THAT I WOULD BE A 33:04 SEVENTH-DAY ADVENTIST CHRISTIAN TODAY IF IT HADN'T BEEN FOR 33:08 3ABN. >> PRAISE THE LORD. 33:09 >> IT WAS BECAUSE OF 3ABN THAT I CAME INTO THIS CHURCH BELIEVING 33:16 THAT THE ADVENTIST CHURCH TEACHES MORE BIBLE DOCTRINE THAN 33:23 ANY OTHER, BUT THIS IS -- AS CA SAID, IT IS ALL TO GOD'S CREDIT, 33:28 BUT THANK -- I'M SO THANKFUL THAT YOU SAID YES. 33:32 >> AMEN. >> YEAH, IF YOU LOOK AT THE HOLY 33:37 SPIRIT AS A DOVE, OR THE MISSION OF 3ABN AS A DOVE LOOKING FOR A 33:42 SHOULDER TO LAND ON, YOU KNOW, TELEVISION HAD TO COME. 33:51 THE CHURCH WAS A BIG SHIP LOOKING TO STEER AND SO THE LORD 33:57 SAID, I'M GOING TO BYPASS THAT FOR NOW, AND GO TO A GUY WITH 34:02 ENERGY WHO LIKES BALLS, BASKETBALL AND BIBLE, AND I'M 34:05 GOING TO GO TO ONE GUY AND ERECT THROUGH THAT ONE GUY SOMETHING 34:15 THAT WILL BE A PATTERN FOR ALL OF THE SEVENTH-DAY ADVENTIST 34:19 CHURCH. SOMEBODY HAS TO BE FIRST, AND 34:21 3ABN WAS IT. >> AMEN. 34:23 >> AND SO GOD SAID I'M GOING TO ERECT THIS STANDARD AND HAVE 34:26 THIS MINISTRY, AND WE'LL MOVE INTO THIS -- HOLD THIS STANDARD. 34:31 THE ONLY REASON 3ABN STILL EXISTS IS BECAUSE IT IS A TOOL 34:38 IN THE HAND OF GOD, AND IF IT EVER LOST THAT, THEN GOD WILL 34:45 TAKE HIS BLESSINGS AWAY FROM 3ABN. 34:47 BECAUSE 3ABN WOULD BE LIKE ANY OTHER MINISTRY, BLENDING ERROR 34:54 AND TRUTH, BUT AS LONG AS WE STAY TRUE, WE CAN EXPECT THE 34:59 BLESSINGS OF GOD. >> AMEN. 35:01 >> WHEN YOU THINK ABOUT IT, DANNY, FIRST OF ALL BY USING YOU 35:05 AND KENNY, AND YOUR FAMILY TO RAISE THIS MINISTRY UP, FIRST 35:11 GOD -- EVERYBODY KNOWS GOD GETS ALL OF THE CREDIT. 35:15 YOU ALL HAD NOTHING. YOU DIDN'T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT 35:19 THIS. >> AMEN. 35:20 >> BUT I PRAISE GOD, IF THE CHURCH HAD BEGUN FIRST WITH A 35:26 TELEVISION MINISTRY. THEY WOULD HAVE USED WHOM? 35:30 PHD'S, PEOPLE WITH ALL OF THESE DEGREES. 35:33 GOD USED YOU TO INTRODUCE PEOPLE THAT WERE BEING LEAD BY HIS 35:39 SPIRIT, THE TY GIBSONS, JAMES RAFFERTY, PEOPLE WHO DIDN'T HAVE 35:45 A DEGREE -- SHELLEY QUINN, I WOULD HAVE NEVER GOTTEN ON 35:48 TELEVISION. MY DEGREE IS NOT -- I DON'T HAVE 35:51 A DEGREE? THEOLOGY, BUT AS -- AS GOD MOVED 35:55 UPON PEOPLE BY THE HOLY SPIRIT, 3ABN BECAME THE PLATFORM THAT 36:00 GOD COULD GIVE HIS MESSAGE THROUGH, AND WE HAVE PLENTY OF 36:05 THOSE WHO ARE -- DO HAVE THEIR DEGREES, BUT THE POINT IS, 36:11 RATHER THAN LIMITING IT TO A CERTAIN LITTLE GROUP OF 36:16 PREAPPROVED, DEGREED PEOPLE, YOU SEE THAT GOD IS LEADING BY HIS 36:24 SPIRIT, PEOPLE WHO, YOU KNOW, DIDN'T GROW UP AS ADVENTISTS, 36:29 GIVING ME THE SAME MESSAGE THAT HE GAVE TO THE CHURCH. 36:31 I THINK THAT'S EXCITING PERSONALLY. 36:34 >> AMEN. GREG? 36:35 >> ONE OF THE THINGS THAT ALWAYS IMPRESSED ME TOO, WAS YOU DIDN'T 36:39 WAIT FOR ALL OF THE MONEY TO COME IN. 36:42 YOU BUILD YOUR BUDGET. OKAY. 36:43 IT IS GOING TO COST THIS MUCH TO PUT THE RAD IN, THIS MUCH FOR 36:47 THE STUDIO, OKAY. LET'S GO OUT. 36:50 LET'S RAISE ALL OF THE FUNDS, THEN WE'LL START THE 36:53 CONSTRUCTION. YOU PRETTY MUCH WENT -- I DON'T 36:57 KNOW PAYCHECK TO PAYCHECK IS NOT QUITE -- DONATION TO DONATION. 37:02 AND I THINK THAT'S ALSO A TREMENDOUS AMOUNT OF FAITH. 37:05 BECAUSE A LOT OF TIMES WE LIKE TO PLAN. 37:08 AT LEAST I DO, I WANT TO GET MY DUCKS IN A ROW. 37:12 BUT I THINK THAT WALK OF FAITH IS NOT BY SIGHT, RIGHT? 37:17 AND THAT'S ONE OF THE INCREDIBLE THINGS OF 3ABN IS BUILDING IT 37:21 DONATION BY DONATION. YOU SAID DIESEL CAN BY DIESEL 37:26 CAN TO PUT FUEL IN THE BULLDOZER. 37:29 AND I THINK THAT'S INCREDIBLE. >> WE RENTED -- DIDN'T WE -- WE 37:34 HAD A BACKHOE. >> A CAT. 37:37 >> A CAT. AND THEY ENDED UP HAVING A ROAD 37:42 GRADER WE BORROWED OR USED. AND YOU RANSOM OF THAT 37:47 EQUIPMENT. YOU DOUG THE FOOTINGS, AND IT 37:49 NEVER OCCURRED TO YOU IT WOULDN'T WORK. 37:52 >> IT NEVER DID. YOU KNOW, HOW DID YOU KNOW WHAT 37:56 TO DO IN BASICALLY HOW DO YOU KNOW WHAT TO DO NEXT? 37:59 IF WE WERE HONEST, WHAT WE WOULD SAY? 38:03 WE REALLY DIDN'T KNOW WHAT TO DO NEXT. 38:05 BUT I THINK THE BACKGROUND -- THIS IS MY OWN 38:09 THINKING, THE BACKGROUND OF CONSTRUCTION, WORKING, AND THAT 38:12 WAS A FAITH MINISTRY TOO, AS IT WERE -- YOU STILL WORKED BECAUSE 38:17 YOU DIDN'T HAVE A REGULAR CHECK COMING IN. 38:20 IT'S AS -- GOD BROUGHT IT TO YOU AS YOU PRAYED, THEN HE GAVE 38:24 JOBS. WE -- WE -- WE AT LEAST THE 38:27 FIRST FIVE YEARS, AND IT WAS YOU, REALLY, TO BEGIN WITH, 38:32 BECAUSE WHEN I FIRST GOT OUT OF THE SERVICE, I WENT TO THE COAL 38:36 MINES, DIDN'T I? >> UH-HUH. 38:38 >> WAS IN THE COAL MINES FOR A YEAR AND A HALF. 38:41 AND THEN THE MINES WENT ON A STRIKE. 38:43 AND WHO DO YOU THINK COMING UP TO ME? 38:47 BROTHER DANNY. HE SAID WHY GO BACK TO THE 38:50 MINES? YOU AND I CAN GET INTO A 38:52 CONSTRUCTION BUSINESS. >> I SAID DANNY IS, WE CAN BUILT 38:56 BUT -- >> HE SAID WE'LL CALL IT SHELTON 39:02 CONSTRUCTION. AND I SAID THAT SOUNDS PRETTY 39:06 GOOD. AND HE WAS PERSUASIVE ENOUGH, 39:08 AND WE HAD RELATIONSHIP ENOUGH THAT WE HAD DONE ALL OF THE 39:12 OTHER THINGS TOGETHER. HE SAID I THINK WHICH CAN DO 39:15 THIS TOGETHER. THESE WERE THE PRECURSORS IN MY 39:18 THINKING OF HOW IT MADE IT SIMPLE -- JUST STOIFRPLY SAY, 39:23 OKAY. WHAT DO WE DO FIRST? 39:26 WELL, WE KNOW HOW GOD GAVE THE PROPERTY. 39:29 WELL, WE CAN'T GET BACK THERE WITHOUT A ROAD. 39:34 SO ANYBODY WOULD HAVE THOUGHT OF THAT. 39:36 [ LAUGHTER ] >> LET'S GET A ROAD. 39:39 TO ANSWER YOUR QUESTION, WAS HE -pDID NOT KNOW. BUT GOD GAVE US STEP AT A TIME, 39:45 AND ONLY AS THAT WAS FULFILLED, THEN IT WAS THE NEXT STEP. 39:49 AND I NEVER HEARD DANNY EVER SAY WELL LET'S GO GET THE 25 TON OF 39:56 GRAVEL. FIRST OF ALL, HE SAID LET'S GET 39:58 A ROAD. HOW ARE WE GOING TO BUILD THAT 40:01 ROAD? WHERE ARE WE GOING TO GET THE 40:05 EQUIPMENT. DOLLBY IN FACT FROM BENTON, HE 40:08 HAPPENED TO HAVE A CAT THERE, A SIX BLADE. 40:10 AND HE SAID -- I TOLD HIM WHAT WAS GOING ON. 40:15 HE SAID GOD HAS IMPRESSED US TO BUILD A STATION. 40:18 THIS LADY GAVE US PROPERTY, AND THESE ARE THINGS THAT ARE 40:22 SPECIAL TO ME. WE NEVER MADE A MOVE WITHOUT 40:25 PRAYING. >> AMEN. 40:26 >> PEOPLE COULD SEE THAT TIME AND TIME AGAIN. 40:28 >> COME ON. >> WHEN BROTHER AND I WAS 40:32 KNEELING ON THE GROUND WHEN THERE WAS NOTHING THERE, AND 40:35 CRYING OUT TO GOD, WHAT IS NEXT? WHAT IS NEXT? 40:38 SEND US SOMEBODY, BECAUSE WE DO NOT KNOW. 40:41 AND THIS MAN FULFILLED -- BUT HE SAID I JUST HAPPEN TO HAVE THIS 40:47 LITTLE CAT OVER HERE, AND HE SAID I TRUST YOU GUYS -- JUST 40:52 TAKE IT AND KEEP TRACK OF THE HOURS AND PAY ME LIKE $20 AN 40:56 HOUR. AND I SAID, OH, PRAISE GOD. 40:59 OH, THAT'S WONDERFUL. BUT YOU KNOW WHAT? 41:02 WE DON'T HAVE A TRUCK OR TRAILER TO PULL IT. 41:05 AND I SAID WE DON'T HAVE A WAY TO GET IT THERE. 41:08 AND HE SAID, WELL, BLESS YOUR HEARTS, I'LL DELIVER IT THEN. 41:13 AND AS SOON AS THAT WAS OVER TOOK IT BACK. 41:17 JUST STEP AFTER STEP. >> GOD HONORED YOUR FAITH. 41:21 >> BUT IT INCREASED. >> YEAH. 41:24 >> I HAVE SEEN IT INCREASE IN MY BROTHER'S LIFE AND SEEN IT 41:29 INCREASE IN MY OWN LIFE. IT WAS ANSWERED EVERY TIME ON 41:33 TIME. >> WAS IT THE McCULLPINS THAT 41:38 WOULD EAT OFF OF THE BACK OF THEIR STATION WAGON. 41:40 >> YEAH. >> AND DIDN'T THEY DO SOMETHING 41:43 WITH THEIR PROPERTY? >> I HAD WRITTEN A LITTLE 41:49 NEWSLETTER. AND I MAILED THESE ON A LITTLE 41:54 COMMODORE 64. >> OH, WOW. 41:56 >> MY FIRST COMPUTER. >> LOOK AT JILL AND GREG, THEY 42:01 ARE LIKE WHAT? >> AND THE LORD NEW BECAUSE I 42:05 WAS NEVER A GUY -- IN THE 60S IN HIGH SCHOOL, GUYS DIDN'T TAKE 42:11 TYPING, SO I HAD NEVER DONE IT BEFORE, BUT THERE WAS A 42:14 LINE -- WHEN WE WERE LOOKING FOR AN EXTRA SUBJECT, A BUDDY AND 42:19 MINE, AND ALL OF THESE GUYS WAS HERE, AND I SAID I WANT TO BE IN 42:24 THAT LINE, THERE ARE 29 GIRLS, I WONDER WHAT THAT IS ABOUT? 42:29 AS LONG AS IT'S NOT HOME EC. BUT WHAT IS THIS? 42:33 THEY SAID THIS IS TYPING. I SAID I WANT TO TAKE TYPING, 42:36 DON'T YOU? AND HE SAID, YEAH, WE WANT TO 42:39 TAKE TYPING. SO WE GOT TO THE GUIDANCE 42:44 COUNSELOR. AND HE SAID, WHAT ARE YOU DOING 42:46 IN THIS LINE? AND I SAID WE WANT TO GET 42:51 TYPING. AND HE SAID WHAT DO YOU WANT TO 42:55 BE A SECRETARY? HE SAID I DON'T KNOW. 43:00 I'M JUST A KID I DON'T KNOW WHAT I'M GOING TO BE. 43:04 AND THEY HAD TO TALK TO THE PRINCIPAL OR SOMEBODY BECAUSE 43:08 MEN DON'T -- HE SAID WHAT DO YOU NEED TO TYPE FOR? 43:13 I SAID NO. AND WHEN I WRITE BOOKS I CAN 43:19 WRITE FAST ENOUGH THAT IT DOESN'T SLOW ME. 43:22 TO PRAISE THE LORD, EVEN BACK THEN -- BECAUSE IT RUINS YOUR 43:26 CONCENTRATION IF YOU CAN'T TYPE. AND SO I LEARNED BACK THEN. 43:32 FOR THE WRONG REASONS, BECAUSE WE WANTED TO BE IN CLASS WITH 29 43:40 GIRLS. SO IT WORKED OUT. 43:42 [ LAUGHTER ] >> THAT I LEARNED THAT -- THAT I 43:44 LEARNED HOW TO TYPE. BUT GOING BACK TO KENNY -- KENNY 43:47 HAD A GOOD JOB AT -- THE COAL MINES PAID GOOD. 43:51 YOU COULD GET OUT OF HIGH SCHOOL AND MAKE A GOOD LIVING. 43:55 YOU DIDN'T NEED AN EDUCATION, SO YOU COULD MAKE MORE MONEY. 43:58 THE FIRST DAY HE WENT IN THE COAL MINES, HE MADE MORE MONEY 44:02 THAN THE TEACHERS THAT HE WENT TO SCHOOL WITH -- 44:06 >> AND THEY DID HAVE RETIREMENT TOO, DANNY. 44:09 >> YEAH, THEY HAD ALL OF THE HEALTH BENEFITS EVERYTHING. 44:13 >> YEAH. >> WELL, I HAD SPIT ONE YEAR AS 44:19 A EVANGELIST. AND THE LORD BLESSED, BUT AFTER 44:22 THAT, I SAID THIS IS NOT SOMETHING I REALLY WANT TO DO. 44:25 I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO, SO HE WAS BUILDING A NEW HOUSE FOR 44:30 HIMSELF. HE COULD AFFORD IT. 44:32 HE WAS IN THE COAL MINES NOW. WE WORKED WITH MY UNCLE 44:39 CLIFFORD. WE WEREN'T REAL CARPENTERS, SO I 44:42 WOULD GO OVER AND HELP HIM. AND ABOUT THE TIME HE WAS 44:47 FINISHED, I SAID WHY DON'T WE GO INTO CONSTRUCTION? 44:50 I HAD NOTHING TO LOSE. [ LAUGHTER ] 44:53 >> KENNY HAD A JOB THAT WAS -- >> WITH BENEFITS. 44:56 >> WITH BENEFITS. SO HE DIDN'T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT 45:03 ANYTHING. AND HAD ENOUGH MONEY TO BUILD A 45:05 HOUSE IN HIS EARLY 20S. SO I SAID WHY DON'T WE GO INTO 45:11 CONSTRUCTION. COINCIDENCE OR DIVINE 45:15 PROVIDENCE. BUT OUR UNCLE SAID I GOT A 45:20 FRIEND WHO LIVED OUT BY THE WEST FRANKFORT LAKE, WAS BORN AND 45:26 RAISED HERE. HE IS RETIRING, AND HE CAME DOWN 45:29 HERE, AND HE IS WANTING TO BUILD A HOUSE -- HAVE A HOUSE BUILT, 45:33 CAN HE -- AND I TOLD HIM MY NEPHEW JUST BUILT A NEW HOME, 45:41 CAN WE LOOK AT YOUR HOUSE? AND WE SAID SURE. 45:45 AND HE TOLD KENNY, HE WAS BRINGING THIS GUY OVER TO LOOK -AT THE HOUSE. 45:50 HE WAS A GREAT ARTIST, BUT ANYWAY HE WAS RETIRING -- WANTED 45:56 TO RETIRE IN LAKE OF WEST FRANKFORT. 45:59 SO HE COME OVER AND LOOKED AT THIS HOUSE, AND I WAS THERE. 46:02 AND I REMEMBER AFTER HE LOOKED AT IT -- LOOKED AT KENNY AND HE 46:07 SAID WILL YOU BUILD ME ONE JUST LIKE THAT? 46:09 AND HE SAID WELL, I DON'T -- AND I SAID, SURE WE'LL BUILD YOU 46:19 ONE. AND KENNY SID, OH, I GUESS. 46:21 SO HE SAID HOW MUCH WOULD YOU CHARGE ME. 46:25 AND KENNY -- I HAD NO IDEA, BUT HE KNEW HOW MUCH HE HAD IN IT. 46:32 AND HE SAID LET ME SEE, AND THEY LEFT, AND A WEEK OR SO LATER, 46:40 KENNY FIGURED IT OUT WHAT IT WAS. 46:45 $18,000, I BELIEVE WE SETTLED ON ON BUILDING THIS NEW HOME FOR 46:50 THE GUY. WELL, HE IS FROM CHICAGO. 46:52 THAT SOUNDED LIKE PEANUTS TO HIM, RIGHT? 46:55 KENNY SAID I THINK WE WOULD MAKE ABOUT $135 A WEEK. 47:00 NOW HE WAS MAKING A WHOLE LOT MORE THAN THAT IN THE COAL 47:04 MINES, BUT WE FIGURED IF WE CHARGED TOO MUCH, WE WON'T BE 47:08 ABLE TO GET THE JOB. SO THE GUY COME BACK AND SAID 47:11 DID YOU COME UP WITH A FIGURE? AND KENNY SAID, ABOUT $18,000. 47:23 AND HE SAID WELL, HERE'S A CHECK FOR 10,000, YOU GO AHEAD AND GET 47:29 STARTED ON MY HOUSE. THAT'S THE WAY THAT HAPPENED. 47:32 WE NEVER RAN OUT OF WORK FOR YEARS, BECAUSE BY THE TIME WE 47:35 BUILT THAT HOUSE, OTHER PEOPLE CAME BY, OTHER PEOPLE CAME BY. 47:40 >> HOW DID YOU DIG THE FOOTINGS? >> BY HAND. 47:43 >> OH. >> LITERALLY WOULD DIG FOOTINGS 47:47 WITH A SHOVEL, BECAUSE WE DIDN'T FEEL LIKE WE WOULD AFFORD TO 47:52 RENT A BACKHOE. LATER, IT WAS LIKE, THAT WAS 47:56 DUMB. [ LAUGHTER ] 47:58 >> IT WOULD HAVE DONE SO MUCH MORE WORK SO QUICKLY THAT -- 48:01 >> YEAH. >> -- IN THE LONG RUN OF THE 48:04 THINGS, AND TIME WISE IT WOULD HAVE PAID FOR ITSELF, BUT WE 48:09 ENDED UP DOING EVERYTHING BY HAND. 48:12 RONNIE COULD DO WIRING, SO ALL OF THAT WE'RE -- WE'RE TELLING 48:16 SOME OF THESE THINGS THAT YOU MAY -- WHERE DOES THIS GO? 48:20 I WANT TO LET YOU KNOW, GOD HAS A PLAN FOR YOU. 48:23 >> AMEN. >> NOTHING HAPPENS BY 48:27 COINCIDENCE, AND WHATEVER YOUR TALENTS AND GIFTS AND ABILITIES, 48:30 WHATEVER YOU HAVE DONE IN THE PAST, GOD WILL USE THAT FOR THE 48:34 PRESENT AND THE FUTURE IF YOU GIVE IT TO HIM. 48:37 WE CAN TALK LATER ABOUT YVONNE AND HER GIFTS. 48:40 BUT MOLLIE WE HAVE A FEW MINUTES LEFT IN THE FIRST HOUR. 48:45 THE SECOND HOUR WE REALLY WANT TO CONCENTRATE ON THE MISSION OF 48:49 3ABN. CONCENTRATE ON THE TIMES. 48:53 THINGS LIKE THE SHOOTING AT THE CHURCH RECENTLY, TERRIBLE NEWS, 48:57 AND MORE AND MORE CRIME, MORE VIOLENCE, AND SUPPOSEDLY A 49:01 CHRISTIAN NATION. WHY? 49:02 WELL, WE HAVE ANSWERS FOR THAT. THE BIBLE HAS ANSWERS FOR THAT, 49:06 AND WE WANT TO TALK ABOUT SOME OF THOSE, AND 3ABN, OUR MISSION, 49:13 OUR FOCUS. BUT MOLLIE GIVE ME HOW 49:19 YOUR -- CHARISMATIC PASTORS, SUCCESSFUL. 49:25 WHY DI YOU MAKE SUCH A DRASTIC CHANGE? 49:27 >> WELL, I WENT THROUGH A DIFFICULT TIME IN MY LIFE, 49:30 BUT -- BUT -- AND -- AND AT THAT TIME YOU REACHED OUT. 49:34 YOU -- AND -- AND WE TALK ABOUT 3ABN BEING TH MENDING BROKEN 49:38 PEOPLE NETWORK, AND I WAS A BROKEN PERSON. 49:41 AND YOU REACHED OUT AND BROUGHT ME INTO 3ABN, AND I HAVE BEEN 49:45 HEALED. HEY, GUYS, I'M HEALED. 49:48 [ LAUGHTER ] >> BUT, DANNY, LET'S GO ALL THE 49:51 WAY BACK TO WHERE YOU CALLED HAL, AND SAID I WANT TO TELL YOU 49:55 WHAT THE LORD SHARED WITH ME LAST NIGHT -- SEE WHAT YOU WERE 49:58 DOING -- AND SOMETHING I JUST HEARD KENNY SAY HE DID. 50:02 YOU KNOW WHY THAT MAN GAVE THE GREATER -- OR THAT BIG 50:06 PIECE -- KENNY WAS CASTING THE VISION. 50:09 HE CAST THE VISION, AND WHAT YOU DID WITH HAL AND MYSELF, YOU 50:13 CAST THE VISION. ALL OF THIS TALKING, YOU LEARNED 50:16 HOW TO DO, AND THAT YOU WERE SO GOOD AT. 50:20 OH, LET ME TELL Y'ALL, WHEN I FIRST MET DANNY -- WE HAD Y'ALL 50:26 OVER FOR SUPER A COUPLE OF TIMES, AND I WOULD LOVE TO HAVE 50:33 DANNY OVER, BECAUSE I'M NOT A BIG TALKER, AND I COULD INVITE 50:38 HIM OVER, HAVE HIM SIT DOWN, AND HAL DIDN'T HAVE TO SAY ANOTHER 50:43 WORD. [ LAUGHTER ] 50:44 >> IT IS THE GIFT THAT GOD HAD GIVEN HIM. 50:48 HONEY, THAT'S CASTING THE VISION. 50:50 AND IF YOU HADN'T CAST THAT VISION, AND THE REST OF US 50:54 HADN'T CAUGHT IT -- I WANT TO READ THIS OUT [ INAUDIBLE ] A 51:01 BACKUP GIVEN A HERE IS WHAT THE WORD SAYS IN HABAKA, THEN THE 51:07 LORD ANSWERED ME AND SAID, WRITE THE VISION. 51:10 WHEN DID YOU LEARN HOW TO TYPE? RIGHT THE VISION AND MAKE IT 51:16 [ INAUDIBLE ] REMEMBER WHEN YOU SAID, YOU SENT OUT HOW 51:19 MANY -- 200 -- >> UH-HUH. 51:23 >> WHAT WAS WRITTEN ON THAT THAT YOU SENT OUT -- 51:27 >> THE VISION. >> IT WAS THE VISION. 51:30 SO USE THAT COMMODORE COMPUTER RIGHT, AND MAKE THE VISION PLAIN 51:37 ON THAT PAPER. IF THOSE PEOPLE HADN'T CAUGHT 51:41 THAT VISION, THEY WOULDN'T HAVE GIVEN YOU THE MONEY TO GO 51:46 FORWARD WITH THIS VISION. YOU WERE JUST DOING WHAT GOD 51:49 TOLD HABAKA TO DO. AND I WANT TO SPEAK THIS TO GREG 51:53 AND JILL. OH, WE HAVE SEEN THE UNFOLDING 51:56 OF THE VISION, AND YOU KNOW WHAT I SEE RIGHT NOW IN 3ABN? 52:00 DO YOU KNW WHAT IT MEANS WHEN AN ATHLETE CATCHES THEIR SECOND 52:04 BREATH? YOU KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS? 52:08 HONEY, WE'RE CATCHING OUR SECOND BREATH. 52:11 YOU THINK WE HAVE BEEN ACCOMPLISHING MIGHTILY THE LAST 52:15 33 YEARS, YOU JUST WAIT. WE ARE CATCHING OUR SECOND 52:19 BREATH. THE VISION, GREG, IS YET FOR AN 52:23 APPOINTMENTED TIME, BUT IN THE ENGSD IT WILL SPEAK AND IT WILL 52:27 NOT LIE, THOUGH IT TERRIES. WE HAVEN'T SEEN THE FULL 52:31 UNFOLDING OF THE VISION. WE HAVE JUST SEEN OUR PORTION. 52:34 WAIT FOR IT, BECAUSE IT WILL SURELY COME, IT WILL NOT TARRY. 52:41 >> SECOND WIND. GETTING READY TO GO ON A 52:45 MARATHON. >> THAT'S RIGHT. 52:46 >> EVERYTHING THAT IS GOING ON IN THE WORLD, WHAT 3 -- WHAT GOD 52:50 HAS ACCOMPLISHED THROUGH 3ABN TO THIS DATE IS AMAZING. 52:55 >> YES. >> AND WE'RE SEEING -- THIS HAS 52:58 BEEN AN INCREDIBLE YEAR OF DIFFICULTY, BUT GOD IS OPENING 53:02 UP THE WAY FOR SO MUCH, AND SO MANY PEOPLE ARE COMING INTO THE 53:06 CHURCH, BUT WHAT WE HAVE SEEN SO FAR AS -- IN THE LOCAL 53:18 VERN VERNACULAR, YOU AIN'T SEEN 53:19 NOTHING YET. BECAUSE GOD RAISED 3ABN FOR SUCH 53:21 A TIME AS THIS. >> AMEN. 53:23 >> AND IT IS SOMETHING THAT IS GETTING READY TO PASS GENERATION 53:27 TO GENERATION. BUT IT IS -- IT -- YOU HAD TO BE 53:32 A MATURE MINISTRY TO REACH OUT DURING THESE TIMES. 53:37 >> YVONNE, YOU HAD A VERY SUCCESSFUL MUSIC MINISTRY, OR 53:43 ACTUALLY MINISTRY IN THE WORLD, THEN YOU -- YOU GOT YOUR -- YOUR 53:49 DOCTORATE IN NATURAL PATHIC MEDICINE. 53:54 YOU SANG, BUT IT WASN'T A FULL-TIME MINISTRY, SINGING FOR 53:59 THE LORD.
