Well welcome this
is a wonderful holiday
00:01:01.16\00:01:03.52
season isn't it. It is,
it sure is. I love this time
00:01:03.55\00:01:06.10
of year. I do too and
there are just so many
00:01:06.13\00:01:08.11
times when family get
together and we've got
00:01:08.14\00:01:11.10
our family together
here tonight. We do.
00:01:11.13\00:01:13.77
And, what a wonderful
thing it is to get those at,
00:01:13.80\00:01:17.49
we work together
very close here at 3ABN.
00:01:17.52\00:01:19.76
Good administration team.
And we're gonna talk about
00:01:19.79\00:01:23.36
the 26 years that
God has blessed 3ABN.
00:01:23.54\00:01:28.07
It's hard to imagine
but it has been 26 years
00:01:28.10\00:01:30.57
and just few days ago
late night the 14th November
00:01:30.60\00:01:35.34
14th in early
morning hours November 15th
00:01:35.37\00:01:37.80
so I'm never really
sure you know. When it was.
00:01:37.83\00:01:40.89
Yeah, well I really
don't know I think about it
00:01:40.92\00:01:42.82
and say well let's start
it about 10 O'clock at night
00:01:42.85\00:01:44.87
when I was
thinking about it. Yeah.
00:01:44.90\00:01:46.25
But by 2 or 3 in
the morning I said okay
00:01:46.28\00:01:48.54
Lord I'll go forward.
Wow. And so Lord has blessed,
00:01:48.57\00:01:51.62
26 years it's amazing.
It is and it's so it was so
00:01:51.65\00:01:55.41
amazing is that the ministry
'continues, because when
00:01:55.44\00:01:58.95
a dream that starts, is
one thing it's one thing
00:01:58.98\00:02:02.10
to start, but to
continue and have God continue
00:02:02.13\00:02:06.02
to bless it Danny,
this is truly a miracle,
00:02:06.05\00:02:09.81
it's God's miracle and
we give him all the glory,
00:02:09.84\00:02:13.45
all the credit, I know
you do over and over again
00:02:13.48\00:02:15.96
and we want our
viewers to certainly know that
00:02:15.99\00:02:18.01
we continue to give
him credit. Yes. Moment by
00:02:18.04\00:02:21.55
moment, day-by-day, because
this ministry cotinues only
00:02:21.58\00:02:26.12
by his blessing. Well
it does and He uses earthly
00:02:26.35\00:02:30.22
vessels. Yeah. And
so without you at home,
00:02:30.25\00:02:32.93
we wouldn't be sitting
here right now doing what we
00:02:33.28\00:02:35.36
are doing so we want to
thank you for your love and
00:02:35.39\00:02:38.07
your prayers and
financial support for 26 years.
00:02:38.10\00:02:41.06
Yeah. It's amazing.
People say, well did you
00:02:41.09\00:02:43.83
have any idea, when
you started you'd be here
00:02:43.86\00:02:46.50
26 years, I said I don't
even know if I'd be alive then,
00:02:46.53\00:02:49.11
right, didn't know if
the Lord would be here
00:02:49.14\00:02:51.14
by then, we just took
take it and still do one day
00:02:51.17\00:02:54.42
at a time. Yeah. So, I
have no idea where we would be
00:02:54.45\00:02:56.73
here next year the year
after I don't know those
00:02:56.76\00:02:58.61
things all I know there
is the Lord said work for
00:02:58.64\00:03:01.03
the night is coming.
Amen. You know, you know
00:03:01.06\00:03:03.49
this is so true.
Recently I sat down and did some
00:03:03.52\00:03:07.60
projections I worked
on a masters once I didn't
00:03:07.63\00:03:10.33
completed in business and
one of the things we studied
00:03:10.36\00:03:13.63
was cash flow, so I
said to Danny. Danny, do you
00:03:13.66\00:03:16.73
realize that in about
3 or 4 months we're gonna
00:03:16.76\00:03:19.17
to really have some
financial challenges that are
00:03:19.20\00:03:22.03
even greater than what
we have today and he says,
00:03:22.06\00:03:25.25
what did you say to
me? Well I said, you mean
00:03:25.28\00:03:27.65
and you can see 3 or
4 months down the road
00:03:27.68\00:03:29.60
because, when I was sitting
in that chair if I couldn't
00:03:29.63\00:03:32.04
even see a month I was
happy, if I knew we had
00:03:32.07\00:03:34.56
enough to go a month.
So, you were saying 3 or 4
00:03:34.59\00:03:37.83
months I'm like well
that's a big praise. You know
00:03:37.86\00:03:40.00
I told her Camille that
and she said why don't you
00:03:40.03\00:03:42.40
just turn this over to the
Lord and let him handle it.
00:03:42.43\00:03:45.16
He's been handling it for
26 years we're going into,
00:03:45.19\00:03:48.81
and Danny always just let
the Lord handle it why can't
00:03:48.84\00:03:52.62
you do that. But, you
are doing that but you also
00:03:52.65\00:03:55.67
good business man and I
say that I'll say that to
00:03:55.70\00:03:57.84
the world, God brought you
here exactly when he needed
00:03:57.87\00:04:00.89
you and I'm appreciate,
all of us too appreciate your
00:04:00.92\00:04:04.18
leadership here.
That's right. And we need that
00:04:04.21\00:04:06.68
I some times what we say
fly by the seat of the pants on,
00:04:06.71\00:04:09.52
has not always the best,
but I didn't really spent
00:04:09.55\00:04:12.52
a lot of time plan and
probably should have in
00:04:12.55\00:04:14.39
some areas and I didn't
but you bring a great balance
00:04:14.42\00:04:17.36
to this ministry. Thank
you. You know you've mentioned
00:04:17.39\00:04:19.86
good businessman. I
am a businessman whose
00:04:19.89\00:04:22.82
probably made every
mistake a businessman can make.
00:04:22.85\00:04:26.18
So you do learn, you
do learn a few things by
00:04:26.21\00:04:29.85
failing you know and,
but the Lord has blessed
00:04:29.88\00:04:33.48
this ministry and it is
such a, we're gonna look
00:04:33.51\00:04:37.45
at the ministry tonight.
We're gonna look at all the
00:04:37.81\00:04:41.83
different aspects of it,
the buildings that are involved
00:04:41.86\00:04:44.91
here and it all started
out with just some boards
00:04:44.94\00:04:49.28
and some nails and a
little bit of concrete right.
00:04:49.31\00:04:52.04
Sure did. And you know
usually and I notice we do
00:04:52.07\00:04:55.96
a lot of programs we
talk about Anniversaries,
00:04:55.99\00:04:58.67
we really don't show
the facilities in which most
00:04:58.81\00:05:01.20
of us are. That's
right. We all work here and so
00:05:01.23\00:05:03.55
this time we said well
why don't we have different
00:05:03.58\00:05:05.63
people and that's why we
have each of you all here,
00:05:05.66\00:05:07.98
Mollie and Shelley and
John C.A. and I think we're
00:05:08.01\00:05:11.15
gonna to do Radio
and some others and maybe
00:05:11.18\00:05:12.92
you know Latino, but
we're gonna tour actually
00:05:13.29\00:05:15.80
and give you a tour of the
facilities it will be a quick
00:05:16.22\00:05:18.64
one, but it tour to
give you an idea what because
00:05:18.67\00:05:21.31
you invest in this ministry
you don't invest in people
00:05:21.34\00:05:23.90
you invest in the
ministry, because you believe in
00:05:24.20\00:05:26.99
getting the Three
Angels messages to the world.
00:05:27.02\00:05:29.03
And so it takes a number
of facilities and an awful
00:05:29.28\00:05:32.85
lot of money, a awful
lot of equipment, a lot of
00:05:32.88\00:05:35.58
buildings. We don't
built buildings just to
00:05:35.61\00:05:37.59
be building, we built
buildings when we need
00:05:37.62\00:05:40.22
them, and so some of
you may say why do you have
00:05:40.25\00:05:42.87
so many facilities, well
today maybe we can answer
00:05:42.90\00:05:46.27
some of those questions,
but hopefully you'll see
00:05:46.30\00:05:48.61
that we've been good
stewards of the money that
00:05:48.64\00:05:50.81
the Lord has impressed
you to give and support
00:05:50.84\00:05:53.48
of this ministry. And I
like to say I'm so thankful for
00:05:53.51\00:05:56.60
each and every one of you,
all of you at home of course
00:05:56.63\00:05:59.37
and many others of our
team but especially all of you
00:05:59.40\00:06:02.28
here today God is brought
you C.A. John, Shelley, Mollie
00:06:02.31\00:06:05.26
all of you for such an
hour as this. We could not,
00:06:05.58\00:06:08.50
3ABN would not be where
it is today doing what it's
00:06:08.53\00:06:11.09
doing without you folks
and I believe that you were
00:06:11.12\00:06:14.15
created for such an hour
as this and your leadership
00:06:14.18\00:06:17.25
is absolutely incredible.
I've gone through a lot of
00:06:17.45\00:06:20.45
things I mean I'm talking
very honestly from the heart,
00:06:20.48\00:06:22.90
especially the last six
or seven years, a lot of
00:06:22.98\00:06:25.64
things personally and
otherwise it's no secret
00:06:25.67\00:06:27.80
without you guys here
to carry the ball, to bring
00:06:28.19\00:06:30.52
some balance, I don't
know where I'd be. I don't know
00:06:30.55\00:06:33.45
where the ministry
would be. I'm a broken person
00:06:33.48\00:06:36.54
who's been mended by
this ministry and I thank
00:06:36.57\00:06:39.65
each and every one of
you, you pray with me,
00:06:39.68\00:06:41.35
you support me, John
you spent 100s of hours
00:06:41.64\00:06:44.49
over the last several
years with me and sometimes
00:06:44.52\00:06:47.72
it's not always just
playing ball we get together we
00:06:47.75\00:06:49.72
pray together you're a
great support. So the team
00:06:49.75\00:06:52.99
that God has given me,
it's assured me, this ministry
00:06:53.21\00:06:56.26
is not about any one person.
This ministry is about God
00:06:56.29\00:06:59.92
and about the commission
that He is given us, it is
00:07:00.38\00:07:03.38
for all human agents to
take this Gospel of the Kingdom
00:07:03.41\00:07:05.98
of us are going through
one of us are going through
00:07:06.01\00:07:08.97
something the others can
lift their hand, you can lift
00:07:09.00\00:07:11.47
your hands through
prayers, through the financial
00:07:11.50\00:07:13.64
support to make this
all possible, either Jesus
00:07:13.67\00:07:16.67
is coming again or He
isn't. Either we have a special
00:07:16.70\00:07:20.07
message present truth to
give to lost and dying world
00:07:20.10\00:07:22.80
or we don't, if we do
let's quit playing games
00:07:22.83\00:07:26.68
let's go forward let's go
my dad used to say whoever
00:07:26.71\00:07:30.07
puts the ball in the hoop
the most wins. So let's go
00:07:30.10\00:07:32.09
put the ball in the
hoop and help us during the
00:07:32.12\00:07:34.84
second coming.
Thank you for what you do
00:07:34.87\00:07:36.86
and thank you each and
everyone of you for your
00:07:36.89\00:07:38.83
support. You know
Danny we are all broken
00:07:39.12\00:07:42.00
individuals, at one
point or another in our life
00:07:42.03\00:07:45.10
we've all been broken,
we've all sinning come short
00:07:45.13\00:07:49.72
of the glory of God and
God has rebuilt at different
00:07:49.75\00:07:53.93
aspects and times of our
lives has rebuilt our lives.
00:07:53.96\00:07:57.24
So, we don't come here
as individuals who have not
00:07:57.27\00:08:01.76
felt the impacts of life,
we've all lived in the real
00:08:01.79\00:08:05.79
world and we know what
it's all about from that
00:08:05.82\00:08:08.79
stand point, but we know
that God raises people up.
00:08:08.82\00:08:14.41
He lifts them up and
He takes them forward
00:08:14.70\00:08:18.02
and is that great assurance
that we get to share even
00:08:18.05\00:08:22.85
as we, I look around
the studio here in, our even
00:08:22.88\00:08:26.34
some of our camera
people and people that are back
00:08:26.37\00:08:29.04
in the other rooms
some of them have had severe
00:08:29.07\00:08:32.18
problems and troubles
in their lives, but God is
00:08:32.21\00:08:35.53
answering those aspects
of their lives. Well, we're
00:08:35.56\00:08:39.45
all failed human agents
and we all have problems,
00:08:39.48\00:08:41.81
but it's good to know
that we have a God that no
00:08:41.84\00:08:45.75
problem that we have
so big he can't solve it,
00:08:45.78\00:08:48.13
no problem is so small
that he doesn't hear and answer
00:08:48.44\00:08:52.09
our prayers. So we want
to thank you what we have
00:08:52.12\00:08:54.82
tonight for an
offer, it's a special offer,
00:08:54.85\00:08:56.85
for an offering of any
amount whatever you want
00:08:57.33\00:08:59.25
to send in your
offering is tax deductible.
00:08:59.28\00:09:01.47
We have a 3ABN family
album. I think this was
00:09:01.76\00:09:04.58
done at camp meetings 2,
3 years ago right Mollie.
00:09:04.61\00:09:07.08
That's right. So we've
got some of the folk on here
00:09:07.11\00:09:09.38
is Allison Speer,
John, Pastor John Lomacang,
00:09:09.41\00:09:12.22
Steve Darmody,
Buddy Houghtaling, Annette
00:09:12.25\00:09:14.26

goes on. So it's a lot of
00:09:24.45\00:09:26.81
songs we did at camp meeting
and we're gonna send this
00:09:26.84\00:09:29.57
to you for any, an offering,
is that right? That's right,
00:09:29.60\00:09:32.43
any donation. Mollie, is
that right 'cause we always
00:09:32.46\00:09:34.84
have to answer to her
if the money is not in.
00:09:34.87\00:09:36.69
That's right. Well
that's what they tell me, Okay,
00:09:36.72\00:09:39.85
yeah. Well that's what
Jim has said, so an offering
00:09:39.88\00:09:42.32
of any amount. We do
appreciate your support
00:09:42.35\00:09:44.69
and we are happy that
to give you this and 3ABN
00:09:44.97\00:09:48.17
I think people around
the world have told us,
00:09:48.20\00:09:50.37
you have some of the best
music of all the channels,
00:09:50.40\00:09:52.88
we can listen to those
and hear songs that we know,
00:09:53.11\00:09:55.76
hear songs we appreciate
and it's not all about just
00:09:56.03\00:09:59.11
you know fast beats and
rock and roll type music
00:09:59.33\00:10:02.09
but it's all just
simply songs from the heart and
00:10:02.12\00:10:04.47
I'm thankful for all
the people who come here
00:10:04.50\00:10:07.41
and donate their time,
these singers aren't paid,
00:10:07.47\00:10:09.97
they're singing from
their heart. You know we said
00:10:10.00\00:10:13.32
an offering of any
size and we really mean that
00:10:13.35\00:10:15.56
any size, and you know if
you gonna only for a dollar
00:10:15.59\00:10:20.02
or whatever you just, you
just do that, we only have
00:10:20.05\00:10:23.29
1600 of these left. So,
I would recommend you start
00:10:23.32\00:10:27.00
calling right now or
start emailing or start writing
00:10:27.03\00:10:30.51
because once those are
gone. Yeah. They're gone.
00:10:30.54\00:10:33.34
So that means you'd
even accept one for a 1000.
00:10:33.37\00:10:35.78
Oh yes we would and we
would not turn that down.
00:10:35.81\00:10:38.28
Okay. Danny, you failed to
mention that you are singing
00:10:38.31\00:10:43.04
our theme song mending
broken along that album
00:10:43.07\00:10:46.89
as well. Over sight
maybe. Yes, that's a wonderful
00:10:46.92\00:10:49.58
album. I wanted him to help
and get it, I didn't want to
00:10:49.61\00:10:52.62
discourage him by
saying I was singing on it too.
00:10:52.65\00:10:55.32
But before we move on
to the rest of our program
00:10:56.15\00:10:59.43
here I would like to
hear some music would you?
00:10:59.46\00:11:01.85
Oh let's do, alright.
And, Melody is going to sing
00:11:01.88\00:11:04.87
for us, what is she
singing? Melody, first of all
00:11:04.90\00:11:08.08
I just want to say a
big thank you to Melody
00:11:08.11\00:11:10.27
because Melody, and it
really hit me we were watching
00:11:10.30\00:11:13.17
the new what do you call
Mollie. Many broken people.
00:11:13.20\00:11:16.65
Many broken people
story and Melody was actually
00:11:16.68\00:11:19.82
talking on that, if you
haven't seen it, be watching
00:11:19.85\00:11:21.90
over here these
holidays we are gonna to be
00:11:21.93\00:11:24.63
playing this thing
several times in several hours,
00:11:24.66\00:11:26.74
but it really hit me
the other day for almost the
00:11:27.07\00:11:29.36
first time and I don't
know why, but when Melody
00:11:29.39\00:11:32.21
hearing her tell her story
of places that we were been,
00:11:32.24\00:11:35.84
that we've gone
together, things that we did
00:11:35.95\00:11:38.58
throughout building 3ABN
and she gave her perspective
00:11:38.61\00:11:41.73
from a child and I said
you know that little girl,
00:11:41.76\00:11:44.17
she was so patient, she
traveled literally one van
00:11:44.20\00:11:47.77
the first year out and
we put over a 100,000 miles
00:11:47.80\00:11:50.35
on it and she never
complained, she would sleep
00:11:50.38\00:11:53.01
in the back seat, we had
a couch, even I don't know
00:11:53.04\00:11:56.06
if she'll say this on
the air or not but even
00:11:56.09\00:11:57.92
bought a little poured a
pot, so if there is emergency
00:11:58.06\00:12:00.45
you know we had to do that
which we didn't, she didn't
00:12:00.48\00:12:03.21
do often but whatever
as you travel in the night
00:12:03.24\00:12:05.52
and you're through the
mountains and there's no
00:12:05.55\00:12:06.64
place to stop, but she'd
stay all night in studios
00:12:06.67\00:12:09.86
when we were recording
every meeting that I would
00:12:09.89\00:12:12.42
go to, adult meetings and
meetings talking about 3ABN
00:12:12.45\00:12:15.48
and promoting, the
little girl was with me.
00:12:15.51\00:12:17.67
She, her mother had
been killed in a car wreck,
00:12:18.09\00:12:19.96
she never complained and
so I'm very thankful to Melody
00:12:19.99\00:12:23.22
and that through it all
that she loves Jesus. Yeah.
00:12:23.25\00:12:26.77
And, I'm thankful for,
She and Greg and 8 children
00:12:26.80\00:12:29.29
and for her dedication.
I'm especially happy for her
00:12:29.32\00:12:32.70
that she has been for
this last year on a weight
00:12:32.73\00:12:37.04
watchers type deal.
Yeah. And she's lost now 110
00:12:37.07\00:12:39.62
pounds and I don't know
what for sure what all that has
00:12:39.65\00:12:42.34
to do with CA but
she is talking now. Yeah,
00:12:42.37\00:12:44.94
for years she's not very
talkative but she's kind of
00:12:44.97\00:12:47.62
coming out of her shell.
I said Melody maybe one of
00:12:47.65\00:12:50.42
these times you'll
be doing today programs
00:12:50.45\00:12:53.32
or something she
said not me I don't talk
00:12:53.35\00:12:55.34
and I said I don't
know, you're dong pretty well.
00:12:55.65\00:12:57.21
Tonight we're glad that
she is here and she is gonna
00:12:57.73\00:12:59.49
to be doing a song
"God's Greatest Glory."
00:12:59.52\00:13:02.07
In the beginning of creation
When the world was formed
00:13:23.66\00:13:40.19
Though God in His splendor
This world he had rendered
00:13:40.77\00:13:49.23
Still the best was yet
to come God's greatest glory
00:13:50.28\00:14:05.93
The world's life
story Written just for me
00:14:06.62\00:14:22.49
Jesus is God's greatest
glory From His birth in a manger
00:14:24.07\00:14:53.50
To His death on Calvary He
fulfilled the Father's plan
00:14:53.99\00:15:06.29
Jesus Christ, Love's
sacrifice Giving hope to
00:15:07.18\00:15:19.58
every man God's greatest
glory The world's life story
00:15:19.61\00:15:39.78
Written just for me
Jesus is God's greatest glory
00:15:39.81\00:16:05.47
Jesus is God's greatest
glory. Amen. Melody, she is
00:16:06.86\00:16:34.00
singing really good.
Losing that weight didn't hurt
00:16:34.03\00:16:36.81
her voice. No, no it
didn't. You know she is really,
00:16:36.84\00:16:39.81
looks good, sounds
good. Yeah. And, like you said
00:16:39.84\00:16:43.73
she seems to feel a
whole lot better. She does and
00:16:44.28\00:16:47.16
I again I appreciate Melody
doing and love with my heart
00:16:47.19\00:16:50.97
and I appreciate what
she does and again appreciate
00:16:51.39\00:16:53.73
all of you and Mollie you
are gonna to be taking us,
00:16:53.76\00:16:56.23
we're gonna start our
tour now and you're gonna to be
00:16:56.26\00:16:59.10
taking us where? Over to
the very first building that
00:16:59.13\00:17:02.39
3ABN was ever in, I give a
little history of the, okay,
00:17:02.42\00:17:05.99
building, Just a few
days ago we took the camera
00:17:06.02\00:17:08.24
over there and I'd
like you to see that now.
00:17:08.27\00:17:11.85
I have the privilege of
giving you a tour of 3ABN's
00:17:27.64\00:17:30.49
very first facility. It
was the building that Danny
00:17:30.52\00:17:33.98
built early on the very
first one and it has both
00:17:34.01\00:17:37.54
the offices, the studios,
as well as the mail room and
00:17:37.96\00:17:41.43
everything else.
Everything was contained in this
00:17:41.46\00:17:43.67
building. Well today we
still use this building,
00:17:43.70\00:17:46.49
it's used for studios,
for Tiny Tots. Our Latino
00:17:46.52\00:17:50.98
Network, as well as, some
English programming as well
00:17:51.01\00:17:53.94
as 3ABN radio. This gravel
road, that I'm walking down
00:17:53.97\00:17:58.27
plays a part in the
miracle history of 3ABN.
00:17:58.30\00:18:01.50
This road leads right up
to the building and Danny
00:18:01.53\00:18:05.33
had had it grated out and
he had actually even ordered
00:18:05.36\00:18:09.20
the gravel to go on
the road you know even back
00:18:09.23\00:18:11.90
then the cost of the gravel
was $6000, the problem was
00:18:11.93\00:18:16.14
Danny didn't have
$6000, but he served the mighty
00:18:16.37\00:18:19.84
God and he had stepped
out in faith and he ordered
00:18:19.87\00:18:22.68
that gravel. Well, he went
to the post office that day
00:18:22.71\00:18:25.95
as was his custom everyday,
we'd go to the post office
00:18:25.98\00:18:29.16
and pick up the mail.
Well, this day there were only
00:18:29.19\00:18:32.27
two letters in the
mail, even in the post office
00:18:32.30\00:18:35.45
he opened up those
letters because he needed that
00:18:35.48\00:18:38.17
money badly and you will
never guess how much money
00:18:38.20\00:18:41.15
was in those two envelops.
One, of the envelop had
00:18:41.18\00:18:44.82
$2000 in it, you
guessed it, the next envelop had
00:18:44.85\00:18:48.47
$4000 in it. Well now
at the end of this road
00:18:48.50\00:18:52.00
there was another miracle,
you see those power lines
00:18:52.03\00:18:55.31
those power lines have
three phase power on them.
00:18:55.65\00:18:58.62
Out here in the middle of
the country, in the middle
00:18:59.02\00:19:01.04
of no where, why on earth
would there be three phase
00:19:01.07\00:19:04.14
power, that's the power
that was necessary for us
00:19:04.17\00:19:07.59
to be able to broadcast
at the wattage that was
00:19:07.62\00:19:09.98
necessary. Danny checked
with the electrical compnay
00:19:10.01\00:19:14.14
and asked them why do
you have three phase power
00:19:14.17\00:19:16.56
out here on the dirt
road and you know they had
00:19:16.59\00:19:19.20
no idea, but we knew
that was another one of those
00:19:19.23\00:19:22.10
miracles that God
provided, God truly does provide
00:19:22.13\00:19:25.52
where he guides. You know,
one of the greatest miracles
00:19:25.55\00:19:28.77
that has happened on
this property is the property
00:19:28.80\00:19:31.14
itself. Danny Shelton
was at his mother's church
00:19:31.17\00:19:34.50
talking about the dream
that God had placed in his heart
00:19:34.53\00:19:37.13
to built a television
ministry that would reach
00:19:37.16\00:19:39.22
the world, and a little
lady was visiting, a little
00:19:39.25\00:19:42.48
Methodist lady name Wanda
Summers, who actually lived
00:19:42.51\00:19:45.48
right down this gravel
road on the right and she heard
00:19:45.51\00:19:49.46
Danny sharing about
the dream that God had
00:19:49.49\00:19:53.71
placed in his heart to
build a television ministry
00:19:53.74\00:19:56.96
that would reach the
whole world with the Gospel,
00:19:56.99\00:19:59.24
Well she was impressed
that the Lord had touched
00:19:59.52\00:20:02.39
Danny's heart in such a
way and that night she made
00:20:02.42\00:20:05.68
a decision that she was
gonna give this two acres
00:20:05.71\00:20:09.51
to that dream, to that
vision. And so she gave
00:20:09.84\00:20:12.93
the property to Danny
for their to be property
00:20:12.96\00:20:15.70
in Southern Illinois
that didn't have microwave
00:20:15.73\00:20:18.38
interference was going
to be a rarity and so when
00:20:18.58\00:20:22.10
Danny contacted the
people that had to survey
00:20:22.13\00:20:24.70
the property to make
sure that when you put the
00:20:24.73\00:20:27.91
satellite up it could
shoot to space and not be
00:20:27.94\00:20:30.49
interfered, have that
satellite, or microwave
00:20:30.52\00:20:32.99
interference, they
said it was just highly
00:20:33.02\00:20:35.57
unlikely that there would
be a place in Southern Illinois
00:20:35.60\00:20:38.61
and Danny said I know
exactly where there is a
00:20:38.64\00:20:40.66
place and sure enough
when the people came out to
00:20:40.69\00:20:42.90
test the property they
tested all four corners
00:20:42.93\00:20:45.86
and you'll see back
here our very first dish
00:20:45.89\00:20:49.06
and shooting from
there, there is no microwave
00:20:49.09\00:20:51.93
interference and so
that was another miracle
00:20:51.96\00:20:54.39
that God performed here
for this ministry to move
00:20:54.42\00:20:57.69
forward with them.
Undiluted Three Angels Messages,
00:20:57.72\00:21:00.77
but now I want you to
come on in to the building
00:21:01.01\00:21:02.95
let's look at what we
have on the inside, common in.
00:21:03.20\00:21:06.04
Okay, wow that is a
lab door, it always was,
00:21:16.60\00:21:20.95
we're walking into
the receptionist area now,
00:21:20.98\00:21:25.53
the lobby here at
3ABN the original building
00:21:25.56\00:21:28.92
and of course originally
this had desks in it and
00:21:28.95\00:21:32.84
the copy machine,
that copy machine I believe
00:21:32.87\00:21:35.01
this is the one that
was here 15 or 20 years ago
00:21:35.04\00:21:38.05
when we were in this
building, but now because
00:21:38.08\00:21:41.35
we do so much children
programming out of here.
00:21:41.38\00:21:43.96
We've set this lobby
here to make it accommodating
00:21:43.99\00:21:46.75
to take care of the
children and right to my right
00:21:46.78\00:21:51.02
we have the original
accounting office and we're
00:21:51.18\00:21:55.14
not going to take in
there because it's a storage
00:21:55.17\00:21:57.62
room there, but that's the
original accounting office.
00:21:57.65\00:22:00.64
Now as you come on
we're gonna to down the hall
00:22:00.92\00:22:04.03
on each side were the
offices, we're not going
00:22:04.88\00:22:08.57
to go into those
offices now, because the purpose
00:22:08.60\00:22:11.56
for them have
changed, but I want to take you
00:22:11.59\00:22:13.78
down to the original
mail room here at 3ABN,
00:22:13.81\00:22:16.88
come on down the hall.
Now this is the original
00:22:16.91\00:22:22.29
mail room and this mail
room had several purposes
00:22:22.32\00:22:27.21
and it looks like a
large room to me now, when I
00:22:27.49\00:22:30.34
look at it of course now
it's a dressing room this is
00:22:30.37\00:22:32.93
where the people that
tape in when this building come
00:22:32.96\00:22:35.95
and change their clothing
particularly our Kids Time,
00:22:35.98\00:22:38.94
our children programs,
but at the time I can remember
00:22:38.97\00:22:42.53
thinking it was such a small
room and the reason we felt
00:22:42.56\00:22:45.31
that was because it
housed all of our mailing
00:22:45.34\00:22:48.34
department it had all of
the books, all of the supplies
00:22:48.37\00:22:51.91
and not just that but
every single secretary had
00:22:52.13\00:22:55.20
their desk in here as
well. Moses Primo's secretary
00:22:55.23\00:22:58.84
was in here. We had I
believe it was two full time
00:22:58.87\00:23:01.87
ladies that worked,
just doing the mailings
00:23:01.90\00:23:05.12
and that we had a lady
that typed all of the labels
00:23:05.57\00:23:09.24
and so forth and I came
in 1995 and at that time
00:23:09.27\00:23:14.80
this building was
already completely maxed out,
00:23:14.83\00:23:17.50
just there was no
place for me. So, they found
00:23:17.53\00:23:20.66
a very small desk, just
a portion of the desk they
00:23:20.69\00:23:23.90
put it right here right
next to the door and that's
00:23:23.93\00:23:27.99
where my desk was,
that's where my place was
00:23:28.02\00:23:31.21
and they gave me a
computer I was the correspondent
00:23:31.50\00:23:34.12
secretary and the thing
about being here was that we
00:23:34.15\00:23:39.55
had to keep the door
closed because of the noise
00:23:39.58\00:23:42.12
level and if somebody came
in too fast and opened this
00:23:42.15\00:23:45.51
door they would smack
me every time so we were
00:23:45.54\00:23:49.06
so happy when finally
we got to move out of here,
00:23:49.09\00:23:52.26
we were absolutely on
top of each other when we got
00:23:52.29\00:23:55.06
to move into the other
building, where now we're
00:23:55.09\00:23:58.49
on top of each other
again. Guys, God continues to
00:23:58.52\00:24:01.42
grow and bless this ministry.
Well I want to come out of
00:24:01.45\00:24:04.45
the mail room now,
we're gonna come down the hall
00:24:04.48\00:24:07.05
come on Joel let's go
down the hall. I want you to
00:24:07.08\00:24:10.28
look back here to my right,
there are two offices there.
00:24:10.31\00:24:14.43
Now these offices are
used for equipment rooms
00:24:14.66\00:24:18.39
for our control center,
but these used to be Danny
00:24:18.42\00:24:22.28
and Linda's office. Now
this office right here was Moses
00:24:22.31\00:24:25.80
Primo's office it's now our
control room for the studio.
00:24:25.83\00:24:30.01
This is where the director
sits and that this is the
00:24:30.93\00:24:34.81
sound room where the
audio man works back here to my
00:24:35.79\00:24:40.24
left and this building
is a two story building this
00:24:40.27\00:24:45.04
portion of it's two storied,
but we're not gonna to take
00:24:45.07\00:24:48.10
you upstairs because
upstairs is just storage now.
00:24:48.13\00:24:51.35
The studio is in the middle
of the building and that's
00:24:51.89\00:24:55.00
where I'm about to take
you on the other side of the
00:24:55.03\00:24:58.05
studio is 3ABN radio,
but come on now let's go into
00:24:58.08\00:25:01.93
the studio. Now I'm
bringing you into the very first
00:25:01.96\00:25:08.99
studio that 3ABN ever had,
if you watched in the early
00:25:09.02\00:25:13.47
days and you saw the
3ABN present set or the 3ABN
00:25:13.50\00:25:17.11
live set. This is the
studio that that was in and
00:25:17.14\00:25:20.51
everything else that you
saw we would build different
00:25:20.54\00:25:23.40
sets here in this studio
and everything was produced
00:25:23.43\00:25:26.81
out of here, but today
we use this studio to do our
00:25:26.84\00:25:32.33
Spanish programming
some of it as well as still
00:25:32.36\00:25:35.40
a good deal of our English
programming, as a matter of
00:25:35.43\00:25:38.05
fact, we do 14 programs
out of this studio and I want
00:25:38.08\00:25:43.35
to show you one of them is
the Issues and Answers sets.
00:25:43.38\00:25:47.94
So, come on and let's
look at this. You can tell
00:25:47.97\00:25:51.67
this is the Issues
and Answers set, you can
00:25:51.70\00:25:54.46
recognize it, it's not
set up completely, but during
00:25:54.77\00:25:58.64
the time that we are not
using the set it's either
00:25:58.67\00:26:01.31
stored or in this case we
put everything back in one
00:26:01.34\00:26:04.67
area. Now I want you to
give you the names of some
00:26:04.70\00:26:07.45
of the programs that we
do out of this studio, we do.
00:26:07.48\00:26:12.03
Tiny Tots, all of the
Tiny Tots programming that you
00:26:12.06\00:26:15.32
see is done right here
in this studio. I'm gonna to
00:26:15.35\00:26:17.99
talk with Mitch in a
minute because Mitch is the
00:26:18.02\00:26:20.69
studio manager here and
what we have to do during
00:26:20.85\00:26:25.25
14 programs is when we
give one completed we have
00:26:25.28\00:26:28.59
to very quickly get back
set broken down and stored
00:26:28.62\00:26:32.56
and the other sets up
and I want Mitch to tell us
00:26:32.59\00:26:35.02
a little about that.
Well we do Tiny Tots,
00:26:35.05\00:26:37.34
Abundant Living with
the Eakins, I know you enjoy
00:26:37.37\00:26:40.31
that one, marriage in
God's hand and let's cook
00:26:40.34\00:26:42.82
so those are the
English programs that we do here
00:26:42.85\00:26:46.46
in this studio and we
do 9 of our Latino programs
00:26:46.49\00:26:50.78
out of this studio, as a
matter of fact, we are in
00:26:50.81\00:26:53.81
the process now, you can
see here in the back ground
00:26:53.84\00:26:56.38
look at this incredible
set. It's absolutely beautiful,
00:26:56.41\00:27:00.18
we have Robby D.
working on this set we have
00:27:00.21\00:27:03.24
Irma Murray working on
this set and Mitch is working
00:27:03.27\00:27:06.03
on this set and I
wanted to talk to these ladies
00:27:06.06\00:27:08.45
and to Mitch about putting
a set together. So, first
00:27:08.48\00:27:12.47
Robby D. I wanted to
talk with you, you know I'm
00:27:13.00\00:27:15.94
walking on this it
looks like I'm walking on tile
00:27:15.97\00:27:19.71
isn't that what this is?
This is supposed to be ceramic
00:27:19.74\00:27:22.65
tile, but it's actually a
half inch pad that you put
00:27:22.68\00:27:25.95
under carpet and it's
just painted like with seven
00:27:25.98\00:27:28.36
layers of color. So,
I'm stepping on it knowing
00:27:28.39\00:27:32.15
that it's suppose to
be ceramic tile, but it's
00:27:32.18\00:27:35.78
squishy because it's
carpet pad and I'm looking here
00:27:35.81\00:27:39.73
at this beautiful house,
tell us a little about it.
00:27:39.76\00:27:42.71
Okay, this, the ceramic
tile roof is actually made of
00:27:43.34\00:27:46.76
plastic which is a thin
plastic, that's been painted
00:27:46.79\00:27:49.01
with layers again of
color, paint, just basic water
00:27:49.04\00:27:53.53
paints, water based paints
and then the walls are just
00:27:53.56\00:27:56.47
a gold color there has
painted solid and then we
00:27:56.50\00:27:59.58
washed them with like
a wash, the brown paint
00:27:59.61\00:28:02.71
to make it look like it's
older. And you have to admit
00:28:02.74\00:28:05.57
this is an absolutely
incredibly beautiful set.
00:28:05.60\00:28:07.93
Robby D how long
have you been with 3ABN?
00:28:07.96\00:28:10.22
I've been here
October 1st was 6 years.
00:28:10.63\00:28:13.22
6 years, and I know
that you are very artistic,
00:28:13.25\00:28:16.34
a lot of what you do is
help us put sets together
00:28:16.37\00:28:19.58
I love to paint. And
you're doing an incredible job,
00:28:20.05\00:28:23.09
and I know that you've
seen our Kids Time set that's
00:28:23.12\00:28:26.29
over in another studio and
Robby D. was one of the ones
00:28:26.32\00:28:29.58
that works tirelessly on
that set as well. Well Irma,
00:28:29.61\00:28:33.11
tell us a little about
who you are, who are you
00:28:33.68\00:28:36.30
married to? I'm
married to C.A. Murray.
00:28:36.33\00:28:38.94
And you worked on this
set as well. Now I want to
00:28:39.39\00:28:43.10
know a little bit about
the program I know that,
00:28:43.13\00:28:46.28
first tell us the
name of the program.
00:28:46.31\00:28:48.17
Estrellitas De Jesus
That is, Stars for Jesus.
00:28:48.54\00:28:54.54
So this is a children's
set and I know that this is
00:28:54.88\00:28:59.53
just one segment of
that program. Tell us all,
00:28:59.56\00:29:03.04
tell us what this set
is going to be used for
00:29:03.52\00:29:05.79
specifically. This part it
is the portion, it is a garden
00:29:05.82\00:29:10.36
as you see and in here
we are going to have the
00:29:10.39\00:29:12.86
opening of the program,
we're gonna to have also a
00:29:12.89\00:29:15.74
a little devotional here
with the children and then
00:29:15.77\00:29:18.93
we're gonna do the
closing in this section too.
00:29:18.96\00:29:22.96
And what are some of
the others sections in this
00:29:23.22\00:29:25.34
programs? Then on the
other side we already have
00:29:25.37\00:29:29.18
a tape program, the
other part of the program
00:29:29.21\00:29:33.17
that is the middle and
that set we have a kitchen
00:29:33.20\00:29:36.36
and where a person is
going to teach the children
00:29:36.87\00:29:39.63
different cookings or
crafts also. And also we have
00:29:39.66\00:29:44.56
our living room where we
have a Bible story and then
00:29:44.59\00:29:49.27
there is a doctor that
comes and he's also going to
00:29:49.30\00:29:51.61
teach him about the
body. So do you enjoy working
00:29:51.64\00:29:54.75
here at 3ABN and
working with these children?
00:29:54.78\00:29:57.20
Well absolutely and I
have really enjoyed doing this
00:29:57.23\00:30:00.70
program with doing putting
it altogether with Robby D,
00:30:00.73\00:30:04.71
I have learned a lot from
her she is really wonderful.
00:30:04.98\00:30:07.67
Well I've got to say
that this is a beautiful set
00:30:08.03\00:30:10.57
and I'm going to ask
Mitch to come now again Mitch
00:30:10.60\00:30:13.49
is the manager of this
studio and Mitch how long would
00:30:13.52\00:30:17.20
it take you to break
this set down, let's say we're
00:30:17.23\00:30:20.31
going to take Tiny
Tots here in a few days.
00:30:20.34\00:30:23.60
How long would it take
you to break this set down and
00:30:23.63\00:30:26.14
get the Tiny Tots set
up? We need four people for
00:30:26.17\00:30:30.42
a full day just to take
this down then it all has to be
00:30:30.45\00:30:35.25
stored then we bring
out the other one. I need
00:30:35.28\00:30:38.15
a full day to put the
next one up with all of the
00:30:38.18\00:30:42.72
props and then besides
just putting there's up there
00:30:42.75\00:30:45.78
is also the lighting and
there is generally about a
00:30:45.81\00:30:48.62
day-and-half or the lighting
for each set that we do.
00:30:48.65\00:30:51.84
Well, so there is a
lot involved in taking this
00:30:52.32\00:30:55.69
studio from one look
to another from one set to
00:30:55.72\00:30:59.35
another. I always found
it absolutely incredible that
00:30:59.38\00:31:04.04
one day I can come in
here and it's all set up for
00:31:04.77\00:31:07.68
Paula and Curtis to cook
and then before long I come
00:31:07.71\00:31:11.25
over here and its all
set up for Kids' Time. Well,
00:31:11.28\00:31:14.25
brought us over in this
area, because I want to talk
00:31:14.28\00:31:17.58
to you little bit about
these stairs. I was talking
00:31:17.61\00:31:21.45
with Robert Stuarts
the other day and he said
00:31:21.48\00:31:24.39
that this Spring he was
coming down these stairs
00:31:24.42\00:31:27.30
remember I told you
that this is a two storey
00:31:27.33\00:31:29.39
building, but then the
studio there is not two stories
00:31:29.42\00:31:32.82
because we need all of
the space for the job and
00:31:32.85\00:31:35.50
so forth and for lighting,
but this area is two storey
00:31:35.53\00:31:40.11
and so to come down
from up stairs these are the
00:31:40.14\00:31:43.16
stairs that we use and
Robert started down from the
00:31:43.19\00:31:46.60
top of the stairs and he
thought that he had stepped
00:31:46.63\00:31:49.65
on some cable, but the
cable moved and he jumped back
00:31:49.68\00:31:54.59
I'm sure for some reason
he didn't dive off the top
00:31:54.62\00:31:58.06
of the stairs which is
probably what I would have
00:31:58.09\00:32:00.21
done because he said he
looked down and the head of
00:32:00.24\00:32:03.27
the snake stuck up over
the stairs and stuck his little
00:32:03.30\00:32:06.10
tongue out at him. So,
that day not only did he see
00:32:06.13\00:32:11.04
the snake and he said it
was a big snake coiled up
00:32:11.07\00:32:14.49
at the top of the stairs,
he saw another snake at the
00:32:14.52\00:32:17.12
end of the hall. Well.
Later that spring early this
00:32:17.15\00:32:22.64
summer actually they
found a snake mother with her
00:32:22.67\00:32:27.24
babies under the stairs
and so what I wanted to let you
00:32:27.27\00:32:31.53
know first of all,
none of these were harmed
00:32:31.56\00:32:35.68
everything was taken
outside and release they
00:32:35.97\00:32:38.96
re-housed the mother
and her babies without her
00:32:38.99\00:32:43.00
spraying us and we're
very grateful for that,
00:32:43.03\00:32:45.40
but what I wanted to
let you know was here at
00:32:46.24\00:32:49.70
Three Angels Broad
Casting Network we don't just
00:32:49.73\00:32:52.85
contained with the
forces of hell and the powers of
00:32:52.88\00:32:55.48
darkness. We don't
just contend for the faith,
00:32:55.51\00:32:58.86
but we contend with
varmints and critters around
00:32:58.89\00:33:02.02
here as well. And for all
of you that happened to be
00:33:02.05\00:33:05.78
in our area of the world.
We want to invite you to come
00:33:06.20\00:33:10.61
on down to Southern
Illinois, come visit us here
00:33:10.64\00:33:13.25
at 3ABN. Come have a
tour in person and see all
00:33:13.28\00:33:18.06
that we have all that
God has blessed us with
00:33:18.09\00:33:20.68
and let me assure you,
you are just liable to run
00:33:20.93\00:33:23.57
across something you
won't expecting and I want to
00:33:23.60\00:33:26.48
wish all of you now a
very Happy Thanksgiving.
00:33:26.51\00:33:29.51
Well, Danny, Amen, I just
want to I know I don't know,
00:33:37.63\00:33:41.51
if I had been quite
as reserved as Robert was
00:33:41.54\00:33:46.03
if I had stepped on a
snake. About the snake yeah.
00:33:46.06\00:33:48.95
I'm not gonna comment
about the snake, 'cause I don't
00:33:48.98\00:33:51.07
have much respect for snakes
and if I see them one or the
00:33:51.10\00:33:54.42
other has to go
usually. Right. You know I think
00:33:54.45\00:33:56.78
everyone of us at one
time or another Danny have seen
00:33:56.81\00:33:59.30
snakes over that building.
I saw a big one right at the
00:33:59.33\00:34:02.12
end of the opposite end
there we were building it,
00:34:02.15\00:34:05.61
and we had a lot of
ceder and we had a garage
00:34:05.79\00:34:08.10
store open and I
walked through and there was
00:34:08.13\00:34:10.84
it wasn't very well
laid, just a garage doors very
00:34:10.87\00:34:13.87
end, the west end of the
opening. And this thing for
00:34:13.90\00:34:16.74
four or five feet long and
I thought it was something,
00:34:16.77\00:34:20.38
I didn't know what it was,
and I look back at it again,
00:34:20.41\00:34:22.56
I said I want to turn on
a light, there was a black
00:34:22.59\00:34:25.13
snake about probably
four to five feet long.
00:34:25.16\00:34:27.94
I will say this, we
don't have poisonous snakes
00:34:28.20\00:34:30.47
around here, we are very
fortunate Franklin County
00:34:30.50\00:34:32.60
that I know it doesn't
really have rattlesnakes
00:34:33.05\00:34:35.51
for sure. Now people say
well there is Copperheads
00:34:35.54\00:34:37.95
and water moccasins, but I
tried to look on the Internet
00:34:37.98\00:34:40.62
and most of those are down
in Williamson around the big
00:34:40.65\00:34:43.35
lakes and all of that. So,
when I see snakes or we see
00:34:43.38\00:34:46.22
them once in a while,
usually they are a black
00:34:46.25\00:34:47.80
snake or a gardener
snake or. Danny, you just don't
00:34:47.83\00:34:51.43
make us. King snakes, it
doesn't make any difference.
00:34:51.46\00:34:53.37
No, it doesn't at all.
Okay, I'm trying to soften this
00:34:53.40\00:34:55.15
a little bit they are not
really that harmful if you
00:34:55.18\00:34:57.13
see these snakes around
here other than they scare you.
00:34:57.16\00:34:59.78
Well, stroke to dead.
Yeah. Well that was a great tour
00:35:01.21\00:35:04.48
that Mollie did. It
was, Mollie that's great.
00:35:04.51\00:35:06.84
And we're gonna to
see if John can. Match it.
00:35:07.04\00:35:09.90
Now I don't hope to match
that because you know this
00:35:11.30\00:35:13.69
something about a woman
giving a tour that makes
00:35:13.72\00:35:16.28
it so nice and so
welcoming and Mollie has so much
00:35:16.31\00:35:19.16
experience in this area,
but we had fun going through
00:35:19.19\00:35:22.42
the worship center and
getting a chance to let you
00:35:22.45\00:35:25.50
see what your prayers
and you financial support
00:35:25.53\00:35:28.44
has how it has made a
difference here at 3ABN,
00:35:28.71\00:35:31.37
but I'm excited about in
the worship center it's not
00:35:31.92\00:35:33.73
only the 3ABN worships
center but it's the home of
00:35:33.76\00:35:36.65
the Thompsonville
Seventh-Day Adventist
00:35:36.68\00:35:38.58
Church. So, go with me
now so you can see what God
00:35:38.61\00:35:41.44
has done. Hello and welcome
to the biggest little city
00:35:41.47\00:35:46.07
in the world Thompsonville,
Illinois, if you enter the
00:35:46.10\00:35:49.04
town you would see a sign
that reads 600 population,
00:35:49.07\00:35:52.25
but if you visit here
you know that more than 600
00:35:52.53\00:35:54.76
people are impacted by
what happens here at 3ABN
00:35:54.79\00:35:57.54
Particularly, our
worship center which is in the
00:35:57.85\00:35:59.65
background, God has truly
blessed us with a wonderful
00:35:59.68\00:36:02.95
worship center. It's sort
of being built about 2002,
00:36:02.98\00:36:05.98
2003 most of the work was
done. It's a 48,000 sq foot
00:36:06.01\00:36:09.93
worship center wonderfully
detailed, and if you flying
00:36:09.96\00:36:12.76
over ahead that looks like
a cross from the aerial view.
00:36:12.79\00:36:16.59
God has blessed
through your prayers and your
00:36:16.62\00:36:19.38
financial support. So come
on with me in the inside and
00:36:19.41\00:36:22.66
I will show you all the
rest of the detail, follow me.
00:36:22.69\00:36:25.33
Welcome to the inside
of the 3ABN worship center,
00:36:43.04\00:36:45.72
also known as the
home for the Thompsonville
00:36:46.17\00:36:47.95
Seventh-Day Adventist
Church. One of the reasons
00:36:47.98\00:36:50.45
I like this particular
facility is this is where
00:36:50.48\00:36:53.36
I call home during the
week. So before we see the rest
00:36:53.39\00:36:56.52
of the facility let's start
in my office, come with me.
00:36:56.55\00:36:59.50
Well it's not like you
haven't seen a desk before
00:37:08.24\00:37:10.48
but this is my personal
desk for those of you who
00:37:10.51\00:37:12.59
have visited here before
and have had the opportunity
00:37:12.62\00:37:15.49
you may have visited
with me in this office and the
00:37:15.52\00:37:18.52
blessing of it is I was
here when the building was
00:37:18.55\00:37:20.72
being built so I had
some input on what this office
00:37:20.75\00:37:24.02
would look like, I can't
show you all of it right now
00:37:24.05\00:37:26.56
but between this office
there is a restroom, when it
00:37:26.59\00:37:30.32
was first built pastor
John Stanton was my associate,
00:37:30.35\00:37:33.29
but he is since moved on
to pastor another church,
00:37:33.75\00:37:36.22
but let's see the rest of
the church building right now.
00:37:36.25\00:37:38.67
This is the foyer of
the 3ABN's worship center,
00:37:43.05\00:37:45.46
and if you notice it's
a beautiful facility put
00:37:45.80\00:37:48.36
together wonderfully, a
lot of thought went into the
00:37:48.39\00:37:50.83
decor. It is a green
with flowers in the carpet and
00:37:50.86\00:37:54.97
somewhat of a marooned
theme and it has a second
00:37:55.00\00:37:58.42
floor, one of the only
places in the worship center
00:37:58.45\00:38:00.88
that has an upper
level, right above my office
00:38:00.91\00:38:04.12
is my sabbath school
class and to my right we have
00:38:04.15\00:38:07.11
two other classes that
how as our youth on Sabbath
00:38:07.14\00:38:09.41
morning. We have wonderful
welcome desk when you come
00:38:09.44\00:38:12.30
at the church on sabbath
morning or for at 3ABN event,
00:38:12.33\00:38:15.60
our people are there to
welcome you. We have stair
00:38:15.63\00:38:18.29
cases and something
else. I think we have the only
00:38:18.32\00:38:21.33
operating elevator in
Thompsonville and that's
00:38:21.36\00:38:24.81
a blessing, but now
let's see the inside of the
00:38:24.84\00:38:27.28
worship center. One of
my specialties here at the
00:38:27.31\00:38:34.89
worship center is audio,
when I say my specialty is
00:38:34.92\00:38:37.84
I really like audio and
sound and we are blessed
00:38:38.13\00:38:40.85
and thanks to your
giving, thanks to your support
00:38:41.19\00:38:43.22
to have a wonderful
sound system, wonderful
00:38:43.25\00:38:46.97
speaker system and also
a wonderful video system,
00:38:47.00\00:38:50.72
which means our video
turrets where we do all of
00:38:51.22\00:38:53.56
our taping when we have
camp meeting, where at the
00:38:53.59\00:38:55.95
broadcast like Kenneth
Kost or Steven Bauer or
00:38:55.98\00:38:58.47
David Asscherick and
number of other events we have
00:38:58.50\00:39:01.23
camera turrets already
built in so whenever our cameras
00:39:01.26\00:39:04.80
are connected there is
no wiring running across
00:39:04.83\00:39:07.31
the floor and when
you standing on the stage
00:39:07.34\00:39:10.10
it's a wonderful
backdrop you will notice in the
00:39:10.13\00:39:11.88
background we have a nice
falls setting and the stage
00:39:12.21\00:39:14.76
is the larger than it
appears you will get a chance
00:39:14.79\00:39:17.13
to see it from that
angle, but for church services
00:39:17.16\00:39:20.23
we have our walls closed,
if you've tuned into camp
00:39:20.26\00:39:23.17
meeting you see that
we hold about 1500 people
00:39:23.20\00:39:25.59
during the full camp meeting
but for our church service
00:39:25.62\00:39:28.08
maybe about 300 chairs
to put up and the walls are
00:39:28.38\00:39:31.25
closed off. We have the
opportunity of segmenting
00:39:31.28\00:39:34.60
this room into five
parts or one large room for our
00:39:34.63\00:39:38.08
camp meeting This is
our fellowship hall that is
00:39:38.11\00:39:56.40
connected to our worship
center, actually it's the
00:39:56.43\00:39:59.05
fellowship hall when
we don't have camp meeting
00:39:59.08\00:40:01.06
but during camp
meeting these walls are moved,
00:40:01.09\00:40:03.17
so that we can hold a
larger capacity. As you
00:40:03.77\00:40:06.34
can see in the background
we have our tables setup
00:40:06.37\00:40:08.30
the way that it normally
is every Sabbath so that
00:40:08.33\00:40:10.82
after church, if you go
to a church that you want to
00:40:10.85\00:40:13.51
guarantee a lunch this
the church to be every sabbath
00:40:13.54\00:40:16.91
because of our small
community people gather first
00:40:16.94\00:40:19.97
for food but mostly for
the fellowship. Also in the
00:40:20.00\00:40:22.86
background is where we
hold our Wednesday night
00:40:22.89\00:40:24.75
prayer meetings, the
screen is there for my computer
00:40:24.78\00:40:27.32
and a small auxiliary
sound system, so that those
00:40:27.63\00:40:30.72
who are in this portion
of the building can hear
00:40:30.75\00:40:32.79
what's going on. We
also have a very nice kitchen
00:40:32.82\00:40:34.96
follow me. Now this is
where the ladies kind of have
00:40:34.99\00:40:44.74
territory whenever
there is a great event here
00:40:44.77\00:40:47.12
we have some guys that
really like the kitchen but
00:40:47.15\00:40:49.20
as you can tell it's a
wonderful kitchen, industrial
00:40:49.23\00:40:52.66
sink, four ovens, couple
of microwaves. It's not that
00:40:52.69\00:40:57.92
large but it's sufficient
for what we do here at 3ABN
00:40:57.95\00:41:01.00
worship center and it's
used mostly for the church
00:41:01.03\00:41:03.79
service, whenever we
have camp meeting we use
00:41:03.82\00:41:06.47
the cafeteria over in
our gymnasium, but there is
00:41:06.50\00:41:09.45
another site of the
building, do you've seen the
00:41:09.48\00:41:11.22
front-half now let's
look at the back-half.
00:41:11.25\00:41:13.99
This is one of our
classrooms that are setup,
00:41:16.34\00:41:19.36
for as you can tell one
of our younger divisions
00:41:19.86\00:41:22.56
I think for kindergarten,
as you can see the room
00:41:22.59\00:41:25.12
is wonderfully put
together, they have some themes
00:41:25.15\00:41:27.93
that from week to week
they change it out to keep
00:41:27.96\00:41:30.33
the children attention,
but this room is repeated
00:41:30.36\00:41:33.89
as you go further down
the hallway, and if you can
00:41:33.92\00:41:36.42
notice there is a
divided to this room which means
00:41:36.45\00:41:38.63
whenever we have
seminars for camp meeting
00:41:38.66\00:41:40.35
it could actually become
two rooms instead of one large
00:41:40.90\00:41:43.41
room, but as I said if
you go down the hallway this
00:41:43.44\00:41:46.13
pattern continues to repeat
room after room after room,
00:41:46.16\00:41:49.98
but follow me, lets show
you something else that you
00:41:50.40\00:41:52.38
might not have seen
before. This is the upper room
00:41:52.41\00:42:02.08
and I could use that
word in the wonderful way
00:42:02.11\00:42:04.10
because up here, kind of
like the upper room people
00:42:04.13\00:42:07.63
come up here during
camp meeting to pray.
00:42:07.66\00:42:09.82
Right to my left is one
of our prayer rooms that many
00:42:10.35\00:42:13.06
people come and in a
silent and very private way
00:42:13.09\00:42:16.18
they write their request
down. This room is designed,
00:42:16.21\00:42:19.07
let me just show it to
you. This is our prayer room
00:42:19.10\00:42:23.11
that's why I introduce
that a moment ago by saying
00:42:23.84\00:42:25.96
the upper room the upper
floor in the worship center
00:42:25.99\00:42:28.75
of 3ABN. Now during camp
meeting this room is utilized
00:42:28.78\00:42:31.96
all camp meeting long,
people travel from distances
00:42:31.99\00:42:35.30
to come here and have a
private time with the Lord
00:42:35.33\00:42:38.82
and they get together,
they write their prayer request
00:42:39.24\00:42:42.57
and they pray. Sometimes
for their children, their
00:42:43.04\00:42:45.06
family members, for
their health and for their
00:42:45.09\00:42:47.43
personal needs and
with a ministry like this
00:42:47.46\00:42:50.08
a prayer room is very,
very necessary so if you
00:42:50.11\00:42:52.52
come here ever and you
want to see the prayer room
00:42:52.55\00:42:54.94
this is the place that
will take you to, but we have
00:42:55.42\00:42:57.72
another part that not
many people see in 3ABN
00:42:57.75\00:43:00.51
it's our inside upstairs
fully furnished apartment
00:43:00.95\00:43:05.28
I'll show it to you. Here
we are and what I referred
00:43:05.31\00:43:13.15
to in the light harder
where as the inner sanctum.
00:43:13.18\00:43:15.30
Now there is no spiritual
connection to that but this
00:43:15.72\00:43:18.01
is the room where most
of our special guests that
00:43:18.04\00:43:20.45
are presented as our
camp meeting would stay
00:43:20.48\00:43:22.35
for the me of fact that
they are no Hotels and no
00:43:22.71\00:43:25.21
Motels in Thompsonville,
so for security reasons
00:43:25.24\00:43:28.56
just they don't have to stay
in Benton or West Frankfort,
00:43:28.59\00:43:31.23
they stay comfortably here
you notice there is a living
00:43:31.64\00:43:33.90
area right here a
wonderfully appointed couches,
00:43:33.93\00:43:36.89
television, all the
facilities that they would need
00:43:37.98\00:43:41.42
while they are here and to
my left look at this section
00:43:41.45\00:43:43.80
over here. There is a
kitchen that they could make
00:43:43.83\00:43:47.90
their meals if they so
desire a wonderful table
00:43:47.93\00:43:51.49
that they can sit down
privately and have their
00:43:51.52\00:43:53.62
meals or whatever else
they may want to do and also,
00:43:53.65\00:43:56.43
a nice bed. That can
give them a good night's rest
00:43:56.90\00:44:02.08
refreshed and ready
for whatever event they are
00:44:02.52\00:44:04.94
waiting for in the next day.
00:44:04.97\00:44:05.94
Now that we are done
with upstairs there are a few
00:44:07.91\00:44:10.23
others things I
want to show you in the
00:44:10.26\00:44:11.57
worship center. First
of all we have a wonderful
00:44:11.60\00:44:13.99
women's ministries
room you get a chance to see
00:44:14.02\00:44:16.15
that the woman I really
proud about that ministry
00:44:16.18\00:44:18.55
and it's a blessing
here for us in Thompsonville.
00:44:18.58\00:44:21.62
We also have a path
finders room that they like
00:44:21.65\00:44:23.80
to call their own
wonderfully designed,
00:44:23.83\00:44:25.78
but there are
something else I want
00:44:26.08\00:44:27.61
you to see today
Ms. Brenda I believe
00:44:27.64\00:44:29.91
is in there in the Kids
Time set doing some taping
00:44:29.94\00:44:32.60
today so come with us
we're gonna to sneak up
00:44:32.63\00:44:34.64
on her okay here we go.
00:44:34.67\00:44:35.88
Well how are you
doing Ms. Brenda?
00:44:53.29\00:44:54.48
Well I'm about
taping my opens here pastor.
00:44:54.79\00:44:56.41
Wow well I think you
can have the do a retake
00:44:56.44\00:44:58.35
because we just
snuck in on it today.
00:44:58.38\00:45:00.00
That's right this is
what happens in the back
00:45:00.47\00:45:03.27
of the worship
center, actually this is our
00:45:03.30\00:45:05.07
largest studio and the
guys with the camera will show
00:45:05.10\00:45:09.11
you in just a moment
this has been all dedicated
00:45:09.14\00:45:11.17
to Kids Time and
Brenda what else happens
00:45:11.20\00:45:13.89
back here besides Kids Time.
00:45:13.92\00:45:15.18
Well this is the Kids
Time studio so nothing
00:45:15.44\00:45:17.89
is taped in the
studio but kids time but,
00:45:17.92\00:45:20.11
when we tapping Bible
stories all every thing
00:45:20.14\00:45:23.17
on this side of the
set is all comes out
00:45:23.20\00:45:25.40
and it becomes all
decorated like a big
00:45:25.43\00:45:27.20
Bible village, but
then when we are not taping
00:45:27.23\00:45:30.09
Bible stories, everything else
00:45:30.12\00:45:31.96
is taped on this side.
So when we tape learning
00:45:31.99\00:45:34.08
time and we tape you
know our praise time music
00:45:34.11\00:45:36.75
and we use that
garden over there,
00:45:36.78\00:45:38.19
we have you know
our piano up there that
00:45:38.22\00:45:40.54
we have to sing
in, and so every single
00:45:40.57\00:45:42.90
thing else is taped
on this side of the set
00:45:42.93\00:45:45.87
and I am really excited
about having this beautiful
00:45:45.90\00:45:49.28
set to tape on and it's
a privilege having taped
00:45:49.31\00:45:51.99
in an older studio
with a lot more challenges
00:45:52.02\00:45:54.44
we actually can use
our air conditioning system
00:45:54.47\00:45:56.88
while we're taping,
so that's such a big huge
00:45:56.91\00:45:58.71
bonus that we are excited about.
00:45:58.74\00:46:00.16
I am also happy
that we can have Maxwell
00:46:01.78\00:46:05.08
who is joined us
in our new studio
00:46:05.11\00:46:06.99
he is in new
addition to Kids Time.
00:46:07.02\00:46:08.45
That's right, he is
one of the most tamed
00:46:08.48\00:46:11.32
animals I think, he's
come to the realization that
00:46:11.35\00:46:14.01
he was born to be on television
00:46:14.04\00:46:15.69
and Max really
works along with Brenda
00:46:16.08\00:46:17.94
and I tell you not
only do we have Kids Time
00:46:18.39\00:46:21.22
set here and Bible
set but there is a behind
00:46:21.25\00:46:23.77
the scene crew
that assist Brenda
00:46:23.80\00:46:25.84
and all the programmers that
00:46:25.87\00:46:26.84
she does let's
meet them right now.
00:46:26.85\00:46:28.79
We have the floor director Larry
00:46:28.88\00:46:31.42
and we have
Summer and we have Tammy
00:46:31.68\00:46:35.18
over there, that are
part of the camera crew
00:46:35.21\00:46:38.42
for this program
that's being taped today,
00:46:38.45\00:46:40.07
but over all we
really praise the Lord for
00:46:40.10\00:46:43.32
what's happening here
at the worship center.
00:46:43.35\00:46:44.62
There are other things
that we would like show
00:46:44.95\00:46:46.67
you but I think in
some of our other roles
00:46:46.70\00:46:48.93
you will be able to
see some of the other
00:46:48.96\00:46:50.56
building that
are part of the great
00:46:50.59\00:46:52.43
ministry of 3ABN, and
thank you to your prayers
00:46:52.46\00:46:55.34
and your financial
support. God is blessing
00:46:55.37\00:46:58.09
going and growing
from the smallest,
00:46:58.12\00:46:59.99
biggest city in the
world. God bless you
00:47:00.02\00:47:02.12
and thank you for
tuning in to this important
00:47:02.15\00:47:04.61
part of the 3ABN worship center.
00:47:04.64\00:47:06.52
Well when you see that
worship center you realize
00:47:12.31\00:47:15.04
that our contributors
have made that possible
00:47:15.07\00:47:18.59
and the Thompsonville
Church moved down there
00:47:18.95\00:47:21.88
from a church that
they had here in town,
00:47:21.91\00:47:24.11
because it really
does help that building
00:47:24.68\00:47:27.98
to be sort of the it's
kind of a real light house
00:47:28.25\00:47:32.66
to the whole
area and we got people
00:47:32.69\00:47:35.42
driving in here now
and going to Church.
00:47:35.45\00:47:37.81
It's more galvanizing
you know. Yeah it is.
00:47:38.09\00:47:40.29
Really it becomes a
place where people can walk
00:47:40.32\00:47:42.68
in and don't feel
that they will be noticed
00:47:42.71\00:47:44.69
right over there. Correct,
but it really is a studio,
00:47:44.72\00:47:47.77
because even the
auditorium I wish you
00:47:47.80\00:47:50.80
poured things
there than what we.
00:47:51.11\00:47:52.70
Camp meetings. Here
we are the camp meetings
00:47:52.73\00:47:54.64
all the other diversity
board when he was here,
00:47:54.90\00:47:57.35
any kind of a
special this gonna to be done
00:47:57.38\00:47:59.61
we do it there.
We have got some big
00:47:59.64\00:48:02.96
specials coming up.
Yeah. That will be done there,
00:48:02.99\00:48:05.16
and so this whole building
and then with the studios
00:48:05.35\00:48:09.56
in there for Kids Time
and all the different aspects,
00:48:09.59\00:48:13.28
that building is
really utilized, it's just an
00:48:13.31\00:48:17.04
awful lot more
than just used you know
00:48:17.07\00:48:19.03
for the Thompsonville
Church which is great
00:48:19.06\00:48:20.67
that it can be there
but, the rest of the six days
00:48:20.70\00:48:23.48
in a week it is used as
a real outreach situation.
00:48:23.51\00:48:28.32
You know when we first built it,
00:48:28.45\00:48:30.04
Danny we thought
we were building big
00:48:30.07\00:48:31.61
and we maxed that
building out I mean.
00:48:31.94\00:48:34.63
Yeah. Almost over night,
00:48:34.66\00:48:35.63
but between the
Thompsonville Church.
00:48:35.77\00:48:37.99
So when we have
the shell of the uplink
00:48:38.02\00:48:39.62
the building you
just show the folks,
00:48:39.65\00:48:41.31
I remember Hal Steenson
coming, pastor at that time
00:48:41.73\00:48:45.43
your husband you guys
had a charismatic church,
00:48:45.46\00:48:47.83
he came in and I
would show people
00:48:48.11\00:48:49.88
and they would drive
from all over and they would
00:48:49.91\00:48:51.63
see this big
facility wasn't even finished
00:48:51.66\00:48:54.69
we had the
blackboard on the outside
00:48:54.72\00:48:56.25
and then
actually was named temple,
00:48:56.28\00:48:57.82
so people's said
that's interesting
00:48:57.85\00:48:59.21
it says temple on it,
but they would come up
00:48:59.24\00:49:01.92
and people would
get out and they look up
00:49:01.95\00:49:03.59
and they would say, why
are you built in a building
00:49:03.62\00:49:06.48
so big and
brother Hal came one day
00:49:06.51\00:49:09.43
and Kenny and I
were up on ladders and,
00:49:09.46\00:49:11.40
so what do you think Brother Hal
00:49:11.43\00:49:12.83
and he said too small,
too small, just like that,
00:49:12.86\00:49:16.75
first guy has said too
small, he said you'll out
00:49:16.78\00:49:19.30
grow that in no
time. Well it took a while,
00:49:19.33\00:49:21.31
but as you can see
all these other facilities
00:49:21.48\00:49:23.84
that we've just seen
this was huge 40 somewhat
00:49:23.97\00:49:26.70
thousand square feet
there, and the original
00:49:26.73\00:49:29.74
facilities and now
we are gonna go I think
00:49:29.77\00:49:32.57
to C.A. right? Call
center, you know one of the
00:49:32.60\00:49:35.59
things that tends to
floor people when they come
00:49:35.62\00:49:38.51
and we've all
heard this they say,
00:49:38.54\00:49:40.34
we didn't know they
were so many buildings
00:49:40.81\00:49:42.71
you know and they seem so large,
00:49:42.74\00:49:44.26
but I think we can
all agree we've maxed out
00:49:44.37\00:49:47.21
with just every
building we have and we're still
00:49:47.24\00:49:49.66
hoarding for storage
and I think we need to build
00:49:49.75\00:49:51.93
even bigger
facilities, we need to,
00:49:52.56\00:49:54.29
Bible says tear down
our barns and build bigger,
00:49:54.32\00:49:56.34
but as God gives us time
I guess we'll do that too,
00:49:56.74\00:49:58.83
but call center,
Greg will give us some
00:49:58.86\00:50:00.98
statistics. He
does a fine job managing
00:50:01.01\00:50:03.20
call center Christa
Benz is his associate.
00:50:03.23\00:50:04.81
So we get now a
chance to look at our
00:50:04.84\00:50:06.90
call center,
where people call to
00:50:06.93\00:50:09.40
get things where
information is given
00:50:09.43\00:50:11.01
out things, are
mailed things are
00:50:11.04\00:50:12.21
produced,
incredibly busy building
00:50:12.24\00:50:14.58
as our all the
buildings here at 3ABN.
00:50:14.61\00:50:16.48
We are in the 3ABN call center,
00:50:45.09\00:50:47.70
I also want to call
this the sound center
00:50:47.73\00:50:49.78
but this is the call center.
00:50:49.81\00:50:50.95
This building
was constructed I'm
00:50:50.98\00:50:53.60
told in the year
2000, began in 1999
00:50:53.63\00:50:57.13
and was finished
in the year 2000.
00:50:57.16\00:50:58.32
The original
call center was hardly
00:50:58.35\00:51:00.32
bigger than a closet and then it
00:51:00.35\00:51:02.56
moved to a small office and now
00:51:02.59\00:51:05.62
we are filling
this building and just
00:51:05.65\00:51:08.14
about outgrow it we are gonna
00:51:08.17\00:51:10.38
sneak-in on Greg Morikone,
00:51:10.41\00:51:11.38
who is the manager
of the 3ABN call center,
00:51:11.39\00:51:15.10
we gonna sneak-in on
the matter that's so,
00:51:15.13\00:51:17.52

00:51:38.94\00:51:43.88
Thank you, a lot
of goes on here at the
00:51:44.72\00:51:46.04
call center and we
have a great team here
00:51:46.07\00:51:48.06
at the call
center. And this area here
00:51:48.09\00:51:50.78
we answer many
of the phone calls.
00:51:50.81\00:51:51.99
We have our
satellite department,
00:51:52.02\00:51:53.97
we have those
who take the regular,
00:51:54.00\00:51:55.89
let's say orders
for DVDs, books, CDs,
00:51:55.92\00:51:58.82
we have them the
calls, we called them
00:51:58.85\00:52:00.50
are CSRs. We
answer between maybe
00:52:00.53\00:52:02.99
8 to 10,000 per
month phone calls
00:52:03.02\00:52:07.56
that's on
average through the year.
00:52:07.59\00:52:08.74
We have Stewart
Bozarth that also works
00:52:08.77\00:52:11.26
back in the corner
so to speak and he,
00:52:11.29\00:52:13.76
he does a lot of our
updates for the web store.
00:52:13.79\00:52:16.18
We don't wanna forget
our Latino department,
00:52:16.21\00:52:18.27
Rocio, she answers
our Latino calls and we
00:52:18.30\00:52:21.83
have a lot that goes on here,
00:52:21.86\00:52:22.83
it's an exciting place.
00:52:22.84\00:52:23.81
Yeah. And we
answer emails as well too.
00:52:23.82\00:52:26.08
That's incredible I
didn't think that was
00:52:26.11\00:52:28.40
that much contact
with the community
00:52:28.43\00:52:30.85
through the call
center. Now let me ask you
00:52:30.88\00:52:32.63
this question on
Thursday night when we're
00:52:32.66\00:52:34.41
over there doing live,
how many calls you average,
00:52:34.44\00:52:37.67
you know while we were
during a live broadcast?
00:52:37.70\00:52:40.36
During the live
sometimes we can get up to 800.
00:52:40.39\00:52:42.53
Never thought was
that much, because we
00:52:43.99\00:52:46.27
get the paper that
comes through which has
00:52:46.30\00:52:48.24
transcribed to
come through on my
00:52:48.27\00:52:49.47
computer but I
didn't know that there
00:52:49.50\00:52:50.95
are 800 calls
and how many people
00:52:50.98\00:52:52.55
are staffing
during a live broadcast?
00:52:52.58\00:52:55.15
We're real busy,
when we are expecting
00:52:55.18\00:52:56.79
to be really
busy we can have up to
00:52:56.82\00:52:57.97
seven people. So
they're really hopping.
00:52:58.00\00:53:00.38
Alright, what are
we looking at here?
00:53:00.41\00:53:02.40
This is actually
the print shop and in
00:53:02.43\00:53:04.59
the print shop we
do like 3ABN has a
00:53:04.62\00:53:06.66
lot of coloring books
for children, there will be
00:53:06.69\00:53:08.83
some of the small
pocket books that 3ABN has,
00:53:08.86\00:53:10.72
that's all printed here
we also the world magazine
00:53:10.75\00:53:13.33
is not printed
here, but we process a
00:53:13.36\00:53:16.25
lot of it for us. The
international mailings
00:53:16.28\00:53:17.85
overseas, all comes
from the print shop,
00:53:17.88\00:53:20.18
we say on average
about two million pages
00:53:20.21\00:53:22.50
come through here
and in; it's overseen
00:53:22.53\00:53:24.99
or oversaw by a
full time volunteer.
00:53:25.02\00:53:27.34
So volunteer runs all of this or
00:53:27.37\00:53:29.46
at least is
in-charge all of this.
00:53:29.49\00:53:30.88
Yes, yes, that is correct.
00:53:30.91\00:53:32.86
Incredible. You
know pastor; I don't want
00:53:33.08\00:53:34.69
to forget my
Assistant Manager Christa.
00:53:34.72\00:53:36.15
You mentioned me as
a manager but I have
00:53:36.18\00:53:37.41
a wonderful
assistant Christa Benz,
00:53:37.44\00:53:38.62
and she is
sitting right over here,
00:53:38.65\00:53:40.40
and she's been
here, she was working
00:53:40.43\00:53:43.40
when there are, you
said in a closet basically.
00:53:43.43\00:53:45.36
Yeah. So she is experienced from
00:53:45.39\00:53:46.80
the closet to
her, greater assistant.
00:53:46.83\00:53:48.98
It's a little
better than a closet.
00:53:49.01\00:53:50.50
So she is lot
better, she is moved up
00:53:50.53\00:53:52.41
in the world,
alright. Now the other half
00:53:52.44\00:53:55.71
of this is
mostly, its shipping and
00:53:55.74\00:53:59.65
stores. Let's take a look at
00:53:59.68\00:54:01.92
what's down in this hall.
00:54:01.95\00:54:03.08
This is actually where
they process the order.
00:54:05.17\00:54:08.30
So you know we
obviously get the call,
00:54:08.33\00:54:10.46
they say I want a DVD or a book
00:54:10.49\00:54:12.00
or a CD, it's
all processed here.
00:54:12.03\00:54:14.25
So it's all
computerized and the next
00:54:14.28\00:54:15.77
day all the
orders were printed out
00:54:15.80\00:54:17.15
and this is where
they picked the CD
00:54:17.18\00:54:18.81
from the show
put it in the envelop
00:54:18.84\00:54:20.84
and ship it out.
This will be called our
00:54:20.87\00:54:24.19
mini warehouse because we have
00:54:24.22\00:54:25.68
a warehouse there's
a lot more items in it,
00:54:25.71\00:54:27.48
but this is just a
small quantities of each
00:54:27.51\00:54:29.54
one like you know
our pillars project
00:54:29.57\00:54:30.75
has been
tremendous this year. So all
00:54:30.78\00:54:32.80
the DVDs, the song books
all that comes from here.
00:54:32.83\00:54:35.03
Oh I see. So you
keep that a small sampling
00:54:35.06\00:54:37.71
of everything on these shows and
00:54:37.74\00:54:39.26
you restock from
your bigger warehouse.
00:54:39.29\00:54:41.13
Yeah on average
about 50 to 60000
00:54:41.16\00:54:43.53
orders a year come through here.
00:54:43.56\00:54:44.98
Now that's not
items, that's orders,
00:54:45.01\00:54:47.08
so an order could have
10, 20, 30 items on it,
00:54:47.11\00:54:49.92
so we say about a half a million
00:54:49.95\00:54:51.15
items come
through here each year.
00:54:51.18\00:54:53.31
So this
building processes a half
00:54:53.34\00:54:55.21
of million items,
during a course of year.
00:54:55.24\00:54:57.24
Yeah, on average
that's correct, yep.
00:54:57.27\00:54:59.28
It's incredible, and
that shipped through us,
00:54:59.31\00:55:01.18
I expect this little
deal going back here.
00:55:01.21\00:55:03.36
That little roll up
door, a lot of it comes and
00:55:03.39\00:55:06.56
goes through
that door, absolutely
00:55:06.59\00:55:08.74
we have a great
staff. And how long
00:55:08.77\00:55:11.73
have you been here?
Well I've been at 3ABN for
00:55:11.76\00:55:15.16
about 11 years. I
started out in production
00:55:15.19\00:55:17.32
but in this part about six years
00:55:17.35\00:55:18.82
here at the call
center, it's been great.
00:55:18.85\00:55:20.50
And you doing a
fine job, I appreciate
00:55:20.53\00:55:22.68
you man, thank
you much, God bless.
00:55:22.71\00:55:25.04
Well, Greg
Morikone and his wife Jill,
00:55:25.88\00:55:28.62
they are an
incredible couple and we've
00:55:28.65\00:55:31.48
been love them
here. I don't know
00:55:31.51\00:55:32.57
if anybody
doesn't love this couple.
00:55:32.60\00:55:34.03
No, they are wonderful couple,
00:55:34.06\00:55:35.48
they love Jesus. Yes they do.
00:55:35.51\00:55:36.88
And it's obvious
and we appreciate
00:55:36.91\00:55:38.50
them so much. Oh
yes. And the tours I think
00:55:38.53\00:55:40.78
this is great I hope
the folks at home, I hope
00:55:40.81\00:55:42.95
you are enjoying
this as much as we are.
00:55:42.98\00:55:44.45
Right. And,
because each one going to
00:55:44.48\00:55:46.55
different
buildings we have a lot more
00:55:46.58\00:55:48.16
tours. Oh yeah.
Coming out the next
00:55:48.19\00:55:50.14
hour and we might even go
00:55:50.17\00:55:51.14
with third hour here's actually.
00:55:51.15\00:55:52.73
It is never can tell
or if we get long with it
00:55:52.76\00:55:55.13
so, but the main thing is if you
00:55:55.16\00:55:57.61
are appreciating
this let us know. Yeah.
00:55:57.64\00:56:00.06
And remember that we've got this
00:56:00.09\00:56:01.75
special offer.
This family album and
00:56:01.78\00:56:05.22
it's for donation of any
size and if you absolutely
00:56:05.25\00:56:09.72
cannot afford it you
just remember to tell
00:56:09.75\00:56:11.73
that Danny said you can have
00:56:11.76\00:56:13.25
it free, alright.
And that will be our.
00:56:13.28\00:56:16.32
And if you can't
afford it tell to Danny
00:56:16.35\00:56:18.16
and Danny said
it's okay to give you
00:56:18.19\00:56:19.89
know as much as you want.
00:56:19.92\00:56:20.99
That's right.
Well you can do that.
00:56:21.02\00:56:22.08
And if you gonna
afford a whole lot
00:56:22.11\00:56:24.37
this is a very
good time to do it
00:56:24.40\00:56:26.36
because it's a
very expensive year
00:56:26.39\00:56:30.36
that we've had a lot
of unexpected expenses.
00:56:30.39\00:56:34.07
Seriously and
one of the reasons we
00:56:34.10\00:56:35.63
wanted to show
the folk at home is
00:56:35.66\00:56:38.40
because some of them have no
00:56:38.43\00:56:39.81
idea that operational
size. Right. Of 3ABN.
00:56:39.84\00:56:42.92
Actually we've
just started and we
00:56:42.95\00:56:44.52
have I don't know how many more
00:56:44.55\00:56:45.52
buildings and you
know more tours to
00:56:45.53\00:56:48.14
give in next hour
so, but we do want
00:56:48.17\00:56:51.17
you to know that
we appreciate what you
00:56:51.20\00:56:53.54
are doing and the
end of the year giving,
00:56:53.57\00:56:55.25
really without
that, it seems like in the
00:56:55.28\00:56:58.02
middle of the year
the summer specially
00:56:58.05\00:56:59.55
and we were running way in the
00:56:59.58\00:57:01.29
deficit but
somehow through your help,
00:57:01.32\00:57:03.84
through the Holy
Spirit at the end
00:57:03.87\00:57:05.77
of the year, we always want to
00:57:05.80\00:57:07.02
be back up into
black again as we say
00:57:07.05\00:57:08.79
and we are just
praying that the Lord
00:57:08.82\00:57:10.79
will impress you
to give light maybe
00:57:10.82\00:57:13.31
you've never given
before, if this ministry
00:57:13.34\00:57:15.07
is a blessing to
you, you see people
00:57:15.10\00:57:17.39
walking into your
churches maybe have
00:57:17.42\00:57:19.53
family members
that if come to the Lord
00:57:19.56\00:57:21.37
through this or
maybe you, yourself. We
00:57:21.40\00:57:23.99
would appreciate
you've given the special
00:57:24.02\00:57:25.50
thank offering at
this Thanksgiving season.
00:57:25.53\00:57:27.60
Amen. To 3ABN. Yes, we really
00:57:27.63\00:57:30.67
would and I know
that this message
00:57:30.70\00:57:33.07
needs to
continue to go around the
00:57:33.10\00:57:35.03
world and there
is no better way to
00:57:35.06\00:57:37.56
help spread the
Gospel than through 3ABN.
00:57:37.59\00:57:40.64
Well listen you

00:57:40.67\00:57:43.36
