Stay tuned to get the
presidential perspective.
00:00:01.36\00:00:02.90
My name is Jason Bradley,
00:00:02.93\00:00:04.30
and you're
watching Urban Report.
00:00:04.33\00:00:06.43
Hello and
welcome to Urban Report.
00:00:28.29\00:00:30.19
I'd like to share a
quick Bible verse with you
00:00:30.23\00:00:32.53
before I introduce my guest.
00:00:32.56\00:00:34.36
And it's found in
Galatians 6:9 and it says,
00:00:34.40\00:00:38.40
"And let us not grow
weary while doing good,
00:00:38.43\00:00:41.17
for in due season we shall reap,
00:00:41.20\00:00:42.94
if we do not lose heart."
00:00:42.97\00:00:44.61
My guest today is Greg Marconi
00:00:44.64\00:00:46.71
and he is the new
president of 3ABN.
00:00:46.74\00:00:49.18
Welcome to Urban Report, Greg.
00:00:49.21\00:00:50.68
Thank You, Jason. It's
great to be here with you.
00:00:50.71\00:00:52.38
It's great to have you here.
00:00:52.41\00:00:53.75
You've been on here before...
00:00:53.78\00:00:56.15
With my wife Jill.
00:00:56.18\00:00:57.55
That's right. Exactly.
00:00:57.59\00:00:59.49
I wanna go back
to your beginnings...
00:00:59.52\00:01:03.06
How did you find out about 3ABN?
00:01:03.09\00:01:05.89
Oh, well, you know,
that's a really good question.
00:01:05.93\00:01:08.60
3ABN seems like it's
been a part of my life
00:01:08.63\00:01:10.27
since I was just a
little guy, a little kid.
00:01:10.30\00:01:12.63
I remember home is
West Virginia for me,
00:01:12.67\00:01:16.30
Kentucky, Ohio,
the Tristate area.
00:01:16.34\00:01:19.21
And I remember my folks
00:01:19.24\00:01:20.74
having one of those
giant satellite dishes.
00:01:20.78\00:01:22.74
You hear Mr. Danny Shelton
00:01:22.78\00:01:24.11
talk about those 10
foot fiberglass mesh dishes.
00:01:24.15\00:01:27.95
I remember out there with my dad
00:01:27.98\00:01:29.32
with a post hole digger,
00:01:29.35\00:01:30.75
digging the hole,
putting the concrete in,
00:01:30.79\00:01:33.32
lifting that heavy dish up
and getting 3ABN into our home,
00:01:33.36\00:01:36.59
and I was less
than 10 years of age.
00:01:36.62\00:01:39.86
And we got 3ABN
there into our home
00:01:39.89\00:01:42.10
and how exciting
it was to be able
00:01:42.13\00:01:43.80
to finally watch
3ABN's live broadcast
00:01:43.83\00:01:47.04
because before that if
I go back even earlier,
00:01:47.07\00:01:49.24
we would get VHS
copies of some of the program
00:01:49.27\00:01:52.04
that 3ABN had that our
church member would record.
00:01:52.07\00:01:55.21
Well, that's taking it
back a little bit, VHS.
00:01:55.24\00:01:57.41
Yeah, thank you very much.
00:01:57.45\00:01:58.98
I'm not that old, a few
grey hairs here and there.
00:01:59.01\00:02:02.05
But, yeah, 3ABN's
been a tremendous blessing
00:02:02.08\00:02:04.62
to my family for many years.
00:02:04.65\00:02:07.19
I never had any
idea though, Jason,
00:02:07.22\00:02:08.96
that God will bring me here...
00:02:08.99\00:02:10.73
And to have a part to play here,
00:02:10.76\00:02:12.69
this ministry is phenomenal.
00:02:12.73\00:02:14.06
Yes, now as a young kid,
00:02:14.10\00:02:18.00
you sent in some money to 3ABN.
00:02:18.03\00:02:21.40
Talk about that a
little bit? Yeah, that's true.
00:02:21.44\00:02:23.87
So we lived in a country
00:02:23.91\00:02:25.67
and we had the
opportunity to grow garden,
00:02:25.71\00:02:28.38
so we would grow
strawberries, watermelon,
00:02:28.41\00:02:30.88
that sort of thing
and we would sell them.
00:02:30.91\00:02:32.58
My sister and I,
my sister Ginelle,
00:02:32.61\00:02:34.35
little younger than me
00:02:34.38\00:02:35.72
and we would sell them
to either church members
00:02:35.75\00:02:37.75
or sit beside the road
and sell our watermelons
00:02:37.79\00:02:40.26
and we would raise money
00:02:40.29\00:02:41.62
and we would send
some of that to 3ABN.
00:02:41.66\00:02:44.03
This building
that we're actually in,
00:02:44.06\00:02:45.39
we call this the
main building or studio
00:02:45.43\00:02:46.96
where the Urban Report sets on.
00:02:47.00\00:02:50.17
And this building was
being built in the mid 90's
00:02:50.20\00:02:53.30
and we sent some money
in for the building of this,
00:02:53.34\00:02:55.57
yeah, facility.
00:02:55.60\00:02:57.17
And I remember before that,
when 3ABN Russia was beginning,
00:02:57.21\00:03:00.88
we would again sell stuff
00:03:00.91\00:03:02.24
and send some of
the money to 3ABN.
00:03:02.28\00:03:04.71
And, yeah, I don't know,
00:03:04.75\00:03:06.08
I think as a child my
parents raised my sister
00:03:06.11\00:03:09.15
and I to be to think
about the Lord's work,
00:03:09.18\00:03:12.05
be mission minded.
00:03:12.09\00:03:13.66
It's not about
us, it's about God.
00:03:13.69\00:03:16.39
It's about what we
can do to serve others
00:03:16.42\00:03:18.26
so what a privilege.
00:03:18.29\00:03:19.63
Yes, well, that was
gonna be one of my questions...
00:03:19.66\00:03:22.50
What lessons did your
parents instill on you?
00:03:22.53\00:03:25.20
Yeah, was to,
whatever you have before you,
00:03:25.23\00:03:28.07
to do with all your might.
00:03:28.10\00:03:29.94
So I'd be like,
"Are you serious, Mom?"
00:03:29.97\00:03:32.51
She used to say,
"Son, wash the dishes."
00:03:32.54\00:03:34.31
I'd had to stand on a chair,
00:03:34.34\00:03:35.94
you know to stand
at the kitchen sink
00:03:35.98\00:03:38.01
to wash the dishes, I was like,
00:03:38.05\00:03:40.45
"I had to scrub
this plate, you know,
00:03:40.48\00:03:42.48
I put it in the
rinse and my mom would say,
00:03:42.52\00:03:43.95
"Now son, you see
00:03:43.99\00:03:45.32
there's still a little
bit of food stuck on that."
00:03:45.35\00:03:46.69
"Really mom?"
00:03:46.72\00:03:48.06
Put it back and wash it again.
00:03:48.09\00:03:49.42
So really was instill
in us to do everything
00:03:49.46\00:03:52.09
with all of your
might and strength
00:03:52.13\00:03:53.60
because that's what
God wants you to do.
00:03:53.63\00:03:56.03
So whatever little thing
it is to do with your might.
00:03:56.06\00:03:58.40
So that's one of
the things to work hard,
00:03:58.43\00:04:00.80
to work, serve others.
00:04:00.84\00:04:03.44
We're blessed, my
sister and I to be raised
00:04:03.47\00:04:05.71
with a really good
loving Christian parents.
00:04:05.74\00:04:08.51
Yes. Very blessed.
00:04:08.54\00:04:09.88
Definitely.
00:04:09.91\00:04:11.25
At what point in
your life would you say
00:04:11.28\00:04:12.61
that you caught
the vision of 3ABN?
00:04:12.65\00:04:14.32
Oh, wow, good question.
00:04:14.35\00:04:16.35
So this then fast
forwarding a little bit.
00:04:16.38\00:04:18.69
I was not in college,
00:04:18.72\00:04:21.16
but my parents
wanted bring me by 3ABN
00:04:21.19\00:04:23.49
just on a tour
'cause we had it in our home
00:04:23.53\00:04:25.13
for number of
years at that point.
00:04:25.16\00:04:27.13
And so they
brought me through 3ABN
00:04:27.16\00:04:29.43
on a tour, Bobby Davis...
00:04:29.46\00:04:31.20
You know, Bobby Davis has
been here for about 30 years.
00:04:31.23\00:04:34.10
He's the one
that gave us the tour.
00:04:34.14\00:04:36.00
And he showed us
through this studio
00:04:36.04\00:04:37.71
and through studio B
00:04:37.74\00:04:39.07
where the green screen
is and all those fun places.
00:04:39.11\00:04:41.84
And as at that
point I thought, "Wow,
00:04:41.88\00:04:44.61
this might be a
really neat place to work."
00:04:44.65\00:04:46.92
Of course, loved
the mission already,
00:04:46.95\00:04:48.58
but to see all of the technology
00:04:48.62\00:04:50.19
and stuff that I thought,
00:04:50.22\00:04:51.55
"Man, I don't know
anything about this.
00:04:51.59\00:04:53.36
I'd never get a
chance to come here."
00:04:53.39\00:04:55.02
So that was
before I went to school,
00:04:55.06\00:04:56.39
but that's when I
started realizing again
00:04:56.42\00:04:58.46
the full impact of
the ministry of 3ABN,
00:04:58.49\00:05:02.26
what God had done here
00:05:02.30\00:05:03.63
because we were
from the countryside,
00:05:03.67\00:05:06.37
but to come here as you know,
00:05:06.40\00:05:08.44
we're not in the
middle of a big urban city.
00:05:08.47\00:05:10.47
No.
00:05:10.51\00:05:11.84
There's cornfields,
there's soybean fields and,
00:05:11.87\00:05:15.44
but to see what God is doing
out of the middle of really
00:05:15.48\00:05:17.48
nowhere was just amazing.
00:05:17.51\00:05:18.88
Yes, this is about as
urban as it gets out here...
00:05:18.91\00:05:21.68
Exactly, Urban Report.
00:05:21.72\00:05:23.49
That's right. That's right.
00:05:23.52\00:05:25.52
So what was the first position
that you held here at 3ABN?
00:05:25.55\00:05:29.59
Oh, good question.
00:05:29.62\00:05:31.13
So I came as a college
intern in the late 90's
00:05:31.16\00:05:34.13
and I remember I came
00:05:34.16\00:05:35.90
and they asked me to run camera
00:05:35.93\00:05:37.57
and I knew a
little bit at that point
00:05:37.60\00:05:39.70
about how to run camera,
but not television cameras
00:05:39.73\00:05:41.84
like we're
looking into right here,
00:05:41.87\00:05:43.67
nothing like that.
00:05:43.71\00:05:45.04
So it was very intimidating,
00:05:45.07\00:05:46.41
but I had the
opportunity to train
00:05:46.44\00:05:47.78
and learn to run
camera, sweep the floors.
00:05:47.81\00:05:51.58
I did a lot of that,
00:05:51.61\00:05:53.08
and those are
some of my first job
00:05:53.11\00:05:54.88
responsibilities here at 3ABN.
00:05:54.92\00:05:57.12
So you went from sweeping floors
00:05:57.15\00:05:59.42
to now president of 3ABN,
00:05:59.45\00:06:01.79
what took place in between that,
00:06:01.82\00:06:04.26
what were some of
the other positions
00:06:04.29\00:06:06.70
that you held as well?
00:06:06.73\00:06:08.06
Well, I have to say you know,
00:06:08.10\00:06:09.43
Mr. Danny, you
know, he is very much,
00:06:09.46\00:06:12.33
you know, he puts opportunities
out there for you and,
00:06:12.37\00:06:15.00
you know, you just learn,
00:06:15.04\00:06:16.37
you don't have to come
with all of this talent.
00:06:16.40\00:06:18.91
One of the things
that's always impressed me
00:06:18.94\00:06:20.31
about Mr. Danny
Shelton is that he's...
00:06:20.34\00:06:22.48
You know, whatever
God's given you to do,
00:06:22.51\00:06:24.71
do with all your might.
00:06:24.75\00:06:26.08
So 3ABN gave me
different opportunities,
00:06:26.11\00:06:28.18
I started out running camera,
00:06:28.22\00:06:30.02
then I went to
traveling on the truck crew,
00:06:30.05\00:06:32.49
which at that point
00:06:32.52\00:06:33.86
we're traveling
multiple days out of the year
00:06:33.89\00:06:35.92
which was incredible
'cause we had the opportunity
00:06:35.96\00:06:37.83
to travel around
the United States,
00:06:37.86\00:06:39.73
travel outside of the
United States as well,
00:06:39.76\00:06:41.70
flew to Cuba and
did some events there.
00:06:41.73\00:06:44.17
And then went to the print shop,
00:06:44.20\00:06:46.53
I got married.
00:06:46.57\00:06:47.90
I didn't wanna
travel on the road,
00:06:47.94\00:06:49.77
so 3ABN gave me the opportunity
to go to the call center,
00:06:49.80\00:06:52.64
which had a print shop,
00:06:52.67\00:06:54.04
so worked in the
print shop a few years,
00:06:54.08\00:06:56.14
then had the opportunity to,
00:06:56.18\00:07:00.05
will be in charge
of the call center
00:07:00.08\00:07:01.42
for about 10 years,
00:07:01.45\00:07:03.25
then came back
into production for,
00:07:03.28\00:07:05.52
what was that, five years
00:07:05.55\00:07:07.09
and then just
changed roles here recently.
00:07:07.12\00:07:09.82
So multiple
things, it's been fun.
00:07:09.86\00:07:12.69
3ABN is always on the go.
00:07:12.73\00:07:15.86
Oh, yes.
00:07:15.90\00:07:17.23
And that's the vision
that God gave to Danny,
00:07:17.27\00:07:20.87
what, over 35 years ago.
00:07:20.90\00:07:22.70
That's to go ye
into all the world.
00:07:22.74\00:07:24.97
Yep.
00:07:25.01\00:07:26.34
And that vision is
still the same today,
00:07:26.37\00:07:29.01
I mean you know it,
Jason, this is busy.
00:07:29.04\00:07:30.81
Just before we
came on the set here,
00:07:30.85\00:07:32.18
I mean we're out of desk
doing all kinds of things,
00:07:32.21\00:07:34.55
it's really fun.
00:07:34.58\00:07:36.05
And I think it's fun
00:07:36.08\00:07:37.42
because we have
purpose and what's our purpose?
00:07:37.45\00:07:40.19
That's to share the
gospel around the world.
00:07:40.22\00:07:42.22
Yeah, absolutely, so
things are happening here
00:07:42.26\00:07:44.36
on the daily basis so, yeah.
00:07:44.39\00:07:46.19
Really quick, it's a
rapid heartbeat at 3ABN.
00:07:46.23\00:07:48.90
Yeah,
definitely, definitely it is.
00:07:48.93\00:07:50.57
How would you
describe your leadership style?
00:07:50.60\00:07:54.67
I'm very much
into team building.
00:07:54.70\00:07:57.24
I think it takes
everybody and that includes,
00:07:57.27\00:07:59.74
you know, our viewers at home,
00:07:59.77\00:08:01.61
their support of
Dare to Dream and then,
00:08:01.64\00:08:04.51
of course, the
other networks of 3ABN.
00:08:04.55\00:08:06.35
So very much I like,
Jason, team building.
00:08:06.38\00:08:09.55
It's a team effort.
00:08:09.58\00:08:11.22
Everyone has an important
role including you at home
00:08:11.25\00:08:15.59
and, of course,
God is our leader.
00:08:15.62\00:08:17.89
And I think for me
00:08:17.93\00:08:20.30
it's to realize that
it's not about myself,
00:08:20.33\00:08:24.63
but it's about God
and what God is doing
00:08:24.67\00:08:28.37
and that we are
vessels that are broken.
00:08:28.40\00:08:32.77
I'm not perfect,
00:08:32.81\00:08:34.28
and I don't think you
would say you're perfect.
00:08:34.31\00:08:35.71
Not at all.
00:08:35.74\00:08:37.08
And I'm sure you at
home the same thing,
00:08:37.11\00:08:39.38
but God can use us if
we are willing to be used.
00:08:39.41\00:08:43.92
So asking what my
leadership style is would be
00:08:43.95\00:08:47.06
to build the team, to
work together for one goal,
00:08:47.09\00:08:51.49
and it's not my vision,
00:08:51.53\00:08:53.03
that wasn't Mr. Danny's
vision, it was God's vision
00:08:53.06\00:08:56.03
and Danny was a vessel
00:08:56.06\00:08:57.83
that could be used of
God and all of the people,
00:08:57.87\00:09:00.14
the employees and staff,
volunteers that have been
00:09:00.17\00:09:03.20
through 3ABN through the
years, have all been a vessel.
00:09:03.24\00:09:06.74
So I think for me it's
just trying to encourage
00:09:06.78\00:09:09.84
the staff here to be a vessel
00:09:09.88\00:09:13.38
that God can use to
pour into other people
00:09:13.42\00:09:16.52
and I mean what
a privilege it is.
00:09:16.55\00:09:18.12
Absolutely. A
tremendous privilege.
00:09:18.15\00:09:19.59
Absolutely. And a
huge responsibility.
00:09:19.62\00:09:21.66
Oh, it is.
00:09:21.69\00:09:23.02
Huge responsibility
as well. Oh, sure.
00:09:23.06\00:09:24.39
It can be overwhelming
at times I think, Jason...
00:09:24.43\00:09:26.59
I don't think, I
know in my own heart
00:09:26.63\00:09:29.20
that I'm like, "God
I didn't go to school
00:09:29.23\00:09:31.47
to take on administrative roles.
00:09:31.50\00:09:34.40
I don't know what I'm
doing, been here while,
00:09:34.44\00:09:37.47
but God's the one
that's got the knowledge,
00:09:37.51\00:09:39.14
He has the wisdom,
00:09:39.17\00:09:41.38
if He calls you
which I know he's called me
00:09:41.41\00:09:43.45
and Jill and
everyone else here to 3ABN,
00:09:43.48\00:09:45.91
He'll equip you. That's right.
00:09:45.95\00:09:47.58
So I gained great
strength from that.
00:09:47.62\00:09:50.05
That's right.
00:09:50.09\00:09:51.42
How has your faith grown
since becoming a part of 3ABN?
00:09:51.45\00:09:56.93
I remember when I
first came to 3ABN
00:09:56.96\00:09:59.69
and the old uplink building
00:09:59.73\00:10:01.23
which is the original
building 3ABN started at,
00:10:01.26\00:10:04.67
had that giant
satellite dish outside,
00:10:04.70\00:10:06.60
I don't know how many feet
00:10:06.63\00:10:07.97
it's what, 20, 30
feet, that big dish there.
00:10:08.00\00:10:10.44
And it was in
November of that year,
00:10:10.47\00:10:13.01
I believe it was
in November of '99
00:10:13.04\00:10:16.04
and the staff at that point,
00:10:16.08\00:10:17.41
they were about 70 staff members
00:10:17.45\00:10:19.91
at 3ABN at that point.
00:10:19.95\00:10:21.38
We all held hands and we
formed a circle around that dish
00:10:21.42\00:10:25.52
and we sang, led
out by Danny, of course.
00:10:25.55\00:10:28.09
So we were
standing on holy ground.
00:10:28.12\00:10:30.46
And I remember as a young man,
I was just in my early 20's,
00:10:30.49\00:10:33.80
thought that 3ABN was
just a stepping stone for me.
00:10:33.83\00:10:37.00
Maybe I'd be here a year or so.
00:10:37.03\00:10:39.17
But then I realized, I was like,
00:10:39.20\00:10:40.54
"God, this is amazing."
00:10:40.57\00:10:41.97
We're standing on holy ground,
00:10:42.00\00:10:43.41
not because any
of us make it holy.
00:10:43.44\00:10:47.24
Because God, You're
the one that makes it holy.
00:10:47.28\00:10:50.58
Because of You and there we were
00:10:50.61\00:10:52.48
standing in a circle and
that message was going out.
00:10:52.51\00:10:55.18
I couldn't see
whatever those satellite waves
00:10:55.22\00:10:57.82
are going into
space, coming back down
00:10:57.85\00:11:00.42
and making a difference
in other people's lives.
00:11:00.46\00:11:03.26
It's like, God,
this is a miracle.
00:11:03.29\00:11:05.19
And it's at that point I
think talking about faith,
00:11:05.23\00:11:07.16
it's realizing that,
"Wow, we are insignificant,
00:11:07.20\00:11:09.43
but we are
something because of God."
00:11:09.46\00:11:11.33
And then, from then
on seeing the miracles,
00:11:11.37\00:11:13.80
of course, I wasn't involved
in administration much then.
00:11:13.84\00:11:16.60
But I could see little
miracles that were taking place,
00:11:16.64\00:11:18.61
things that shouldn't happen,
00:11:18.64\00:11:20.51
as in like a camera broke down,
00:11:20.54\00:11:22.58
we needed to record,
00:11:22.61\00:11:24.21
we don't know how to
fix it and boom it works.
00:11:24.25\00:11:27.75
Or the truck barely makes
it to an event it breaks down,
00:11:27.78\00:11:30.25
but we've got just
seconds before we go live,
00:11:30.29\00:11:33.05
and God works a
miracle and it works!
00:11:33.09\00:11:35.72
So I think you know seeing...
00:11:35.76\00:11:37.09
That to me as a young person,
00:11:37.13\00:11:38.66
boy, that
increases your faith, Jason.
00:11:38.69\00:11:41.33
It really does and
then as you change roles
00:11:41.36\00:11:43.67
and you see the
finances coming in,
00:11:43.70\00:11:46.33
you know, you're
needing a certain amount
00:11:46.37\00:11:48.14
to pay the bills
00:11:48.17\00:11:49.50
and then the
checks come, cash comes.
00:11:49.54\00:11:54.24
God continues to
provide for 3ABN's needs.
00:11:54.28\00:11:57.41
And, Jason, you
know Danny talks about
00:11:57.45\00:11:58.78
this back in the day.
00:11:58.81\00:12:00.15
So I may be talking too
much. No, no, no, please.
00:12:00.18\00:12:02.48
Back in the
day, Danny would say,
00:12:02.52\00:12:03.95
you know, he was trying to
buy five gallons of diesel fuel,
00:12:03.99\00:12:07.42
you remember to
excavate and build again.
00:12:07.46\00:12:10.33
So we're not building
five gallons, you know, now,
00:12:10.36\00:12:12.99
but we're still
needing to pay satellite,
00:12:13.03\00:12:14.90
you know, transponder
fees and internet bills
00:12:14.93\00:12:17.47
and stuff like that,
00:12:17.50\00:12:18.83
and God is still
providing our needs
00:12:18.87\00:12:20.97
on a day by day basis.
00:12:21.00\00:12:22.64
I mean, it's amazing
to see the mail come in.
00:12:22.67\00:12:24.91
That's... I mean,
and that is incredible.
00:12:24.94\00:12:27.74
You know, I walk in here
and I look at the studios
00:12:27.78\00:12:31.61
and I look just up
at the ceiling sometimes
00:12:31.65\00:12:34.25
and see the lights
00:12:34.28\00:12:35.65
and all of these are the things,
00:12:35.68\00:12:37.09
I can't help but wonder
00:12:37.12\00:12:39.19
how expensive that the
electric bill is alone.
00:12:39.22\00:12:43.93
And that doesn't
even cover, you know,
00:12:43.96\00:12:46.26
just getting the gospel
out there and all of that.
00:12:46.29\00:12:50.17
But it's all
needed. But God provides.
00:12:50.20\00:12:51.83
Yeah, He does.
Yeah, that is huge.
00:12:51.87\00:12:54.77
Talk a little bit
about the transition
00:12:54.80\00:12:57.84
into the presidency?
00:12:57.87\00:12:59.41
So I have to say
that the transition,
00:12:59.44\00:13:02.28
I couldn't have asked
for anything smoother,
00:13:02.31\00:13:04.45
you know, Mr. Danny Shelton,
00:13:04.48\00:13:06.72
throughout the
past several years
00:13:06.75\00:13:08.08
have said you know, you,
meaning me and your wife,
00:13:08.12\00:13:10.95
you know, my wife Jill said,
00:13:10.99\00:13:12.49
you know, you guys
are gonna be taking
00:13:12.52\00:13:13.86
on more leadership with 3ABN.
00:13:13.89\00:13:15.69
I was like, I know
that God's brought us here
00:13:15.72\00:13:17.83
so whenever you feel
Mr. Danny and the board,
00:13:17.86\00:13:20.03
3ABN's Board of Directors feels
00:13:20.06\00:13:21.96
it's right, you
know, we are open.
00:13:22.00\00:13:24.20
And so recently,
00:13:24.23\00:13:26.40
late last year Mr. Danny came
and talked to Jill and myself
00:13:26.43\00:13:30.71
and said, "You know, I
feel this is the right time."
00:13:30.74\00:13:33.61
So he took it to the
3ABN board and it was voted
00:13:33.64\00:13:38.41
and a beautiful thing is
00:13:38.45\00:13:39.78
'cause this was
very important to me,
00:13:39.81\00:13:41.15
it was like, "Mr. Danny,
you're not disappearing."
00:13:41.18\00:13:43.65
Yes.
00:13:43.69\00:13:45.02
And he said, "Absolutely not."
00:13:45.05\00:13:46.39
You know, he's
still very involved
00:13:46.42\00:13:47.99
which is just a blessing.
00:13:48.02\00:13:49.89
So in another
words, he is not retired
00:13:49.92\00:13:52.36
because a lot of people think...
00:13:52.39\00:13:54.10
Praise the Lord.
He's not retired.
00:13:54.13\00:13:55.53
That's right. He's not, no.
00:13:55.56\00:13:57.73
And that is a
tremendous blessing for us
00:13:57.77\00:13:59.33
'cause talking about how
that transition is going.
00:13:59.37\00:14:01.67
It's going just great
because he's right there.
00:14:01.70\00:14:03.71
You know, he still comes
in, you know to the office,
00:14:03.74\00:14:06.47
he's a phone call away
00:14:06.51\00:14:08.08
and this is what's
so fun about Mr. Danny.
00:14:08.11\00:14:10.38
I just I love the
guy, he's just fantastic,
00:14:10.41\00:14:14.32
you know, we were in meetings
00:14:14.35\00:14:15.68
and we have our
executive committee
00:14:15.72\00:14:18.59
and then we'll be
talking about a certain topic
00:14:18.62\00:14:21.09
and we're gonna
ready to make a decision
00:14:21.12\00:14:23.02
and he'll just look, sit
back and say "Okay Greg."
00:14:23.06\00:14:25.53
And I can just see
the twinkle in his eye.
00:14:25.56\00:14:26.90
He's like,
"That's up to you now."
00:14:26.93\00:14:29.53
But yeah, he's right there
and like, "I'm not really sure,
00:14:29.56\00:14:32.53
what would you do here?"
00:14:32.57\00:14:33.97
And he would say,
"This is what I would do,
00:14:34.00\00:14:35.34
but I'm not telling
you to do it that way."
00:14:35.37\00:14:36.71
This is just what I would do
00:14:36.74\00:14:38.07
and he would tell
me the reason why.
00:14:38.11\00:14:39.44
So I mean it's just beautiful.
00:14:39.47\00:14:40.81
It's not like, there's
like, okay, he's leaving,
00:14:40.84\00:14:43.31
I'm coming in and like
we are odds with each other.
00:14:43.35\00:14:45.68
It's just... It's
a beautiful thing.
00:14:45.71\00:14:47.72
Yes, harmonious.
00:14:47.75\00:14:49.08
Oh, it's harmonious. Yeah, yeah.
00:14:49.12\00:14:50.45
It's fantastic. Yep.
00:14:50.49\00:14:51.82
So now you're
able to pick his brain
00:14:51.85\00:14:53.72
and everything and...
00:14:53.76\00:14:55.09
Oh, straight. No,
that is really good.
00:14:55.12\00:14:57.29
And you know when I
think about this too,
00:14:57.33\00:14:58.73
it's really been his vision.
00:14:58.76\00:15:00.10
This is what God's vision
but that he has carried it out.
00:15:00.13\00:15:03.77
You know, this is his life.
00:15:03.80\00:15:06.94
No one will ever
replace Mr. Danny Shelton.
00:15:06.97\00:15:09.64
I have
tremendous respect for him.
00:15:09.67\00:15:11.87
He's the founder
and will always be
00:15:11.91\00:15:13.84
the founder of 3ABN
00:15:13.88\00:15:15.84
and so to have him here
and to have him so close,
00:15:15.88\00:15:18.98
you know to be able to just say,
00:15:19.01\00:15:20.35
what would you do
and have his wisdom
00:15:20.38\00:15:21.98
and insight is fantastic.
00:15:22.02\00:15:23.35
And I know that he
has tremendous respect
00:15:23.39\00:15:25.05
for both you and Jill as well.
00:15:25.09\00:15:27.52
You guys were
handpicked for these roles,
00:15:27.56\00:15:31.09
you know, God has
been preparing you
00:15:31.13\00:15:32.99
and preparing him and
preparing you over time,
00:15:33.03\00:15:35.60
and it really
shows and, you know,
00:15:35.63\00:15:40.10
being under you guys like...
00:15:40.14\00:15:42.54
We're all happy because,
00:15:42.57\00:15:44.24
you know, your leadership style.
00:15:44.27\00:15:46.57
First off, you
know may be you at home,
00:15:46.61\00:15:49.84
you don't get to see this,
00:15:49.88\00:15:51.71
but Greg and Jill are
here before everybody get here,
00:15:51.75\00:15:55.12
they're here
after everybody leaves,
00:15:55.15\00:15:57.45
they are busy.
00:15:57.49\00:15:59.55
So yeah, we
definitely appreciate
00:15:59.59\00:16:02.66
your work ethic and all.
00:16:02.69\00:16:04.03
Well, it's a great team effort,
00:16:04.06\00:16:05.39
you know,
working with you, Jason,
00:16:05.43\00:16:06.76
you know we call
each other neighbors
00:16:06.80\00:16:08.60
because our offices are
kind of diagonal to each other
00:16:08.63\00:16:11.17
and to me it's a
great family atmosphere.
00:16:11.20\00:16:15.24
I think about
having a good time together
00:16:15.27\00:16:20.08
is really important and
we do that here at 3ABN,
00:16:20.11\00:16:22.64
we like each
other, we love each other
00:16:22.68\00:16:24.61
and we work
well together I feel.
00:16:24.65\00:16:26.18
Yes. I would agree with that.
00:16:26.21\00:16:29.02
And tell us a little bit
about your vision for 3ABN?
00:16:29.05\00:16:33.82
So 3ABN, we're not
changing the vision
00:16:33.86\00:16:36.32
because God gave the vision
00:16:36.36\00:16:38.09
and that's us to
spread the gospel,
00:16:38.13\00:16:39.46
go ye, that's
Matthew 28:19 and 20,
00:16:39.49\00:16:41.43
go ye into all the
world, preach the gospel.
00:16:41.46\00:16:44.17
So we're not changing that
because God doesn't change.
00:16:44.20\00:16:46.87
But how we're delivering
it, that's what Mr. Danny said,
00:16:46.90\00:16:49.20
you know, Greg and Jill,
00:16:49.24\00:16:50.77
he said I wanna see you all
00:16:50.81\00:16:52.41
push more into
like the social media,
00:16:52.44\00:16:54.28
all the digital download.
00:16:54.31\00:16:56.04
So that's the
direction we're going,
00:16:56.08\00:16:57.41
we're still doing the satellite,
00:16:57.45\00:16:58.78
you know,
satellite's still relevant.
00:16:58.81\00:17:01.05
But as you know
definitely, in my phone,
00:17:01.08\00:17:04.79
so I said it
right off the set here.
00:17:04.82\00:17:06.49
All right.
00:17:06.52\00:17:07.86
You know but it's
all a mobile device,
00:17:07.89\00:17:09.72
iPad, your phone, your
computer, you want it now?
00:17:09.76\00:17:12.86
Yep.
00:17:12.89\00:17:14.23
You want it when you want it.
00:17:14.26\00:17:15.80
So we're working
a lot on the vision
00:17:15.83\00:17:18.23
of keeping the content same
00:17:18.27\00:17:20.77
but actually delivering it
00:17:20.80\00:17:22.60
and maybe a
little shorter segments
00:17:22.64\00:17:25.14
let's say, we want to
make it more shareable.
00:17:25.17\00:17:28.54
We're trying to hit
more the social media aspect,
00:17:28.58\00:17:31.95
as you know you can definitely
share it a lot easier that way.
00:17:31.98\00:17:34.75
Absolutely. Digital evangelism.
00:17:34.78\00:17:36.28
Oh, it's huge, absolutely.
00:17:36.32\00:17:37.82
But the Video on Demand
is what we're going for too.
00:17:37.85\00:17:39.99
We wanna have
that on our 3ABN app.
00:17:40.02\00:17:42.66
Right now you can get
a lot of our on demand,
00:17:42.69\00:17:44.39
like our Sabbath school
panel and other you know,
00:17:44.43\00:17:46.59
Urban Report,
other things you can go,
00:17:46.63\00:17:48.50
Salvation, Some of a Signs.
00:17:48.53\00:17:51.23
You know, that's
just a great thing
00:17:51.27\00:17:52.60
because it can be
1 AM in the morning
00:17:52.63\00:17:54.04
and you're just
looking for something
00:17:54.07\00:17:55.80
and you can go there and
watch it when you want it,
00:17:55.84\00:17:57.61
stop it, take care of
something else come back.
00:17:57.64\00:18:00.11
So that's a powerful thing.
00:18:00.14\00:18:01.48
So we're wanting to
provide more content, Jason,
00:18:01.51\00:18:03.21
that way and, yeah,
trying to reach an audience
00:18:03.24\00:18:06.82
through the internet especially.
00:18:06.85\00:18:08.88
And I think the
power of the internet
00:18:08.92\00:18:10.25
is searching someone that
doesn't know anything about,
00:18:10.29\00:18:14.26
you know, the Bible truths
can go online and type in,
00:18:14.29\00:18:17.93
"What happens when you die?"
00:18:17.96\00:18:20.33
They have it, you know,
00:18:20.36\00:18:21.70
a real question in
their lives about this.
00:18:21.73\00:18:23.67
So what we're trying to do
is what they call optimization
00:18:23.70\00:18:27.40
and that is to put 3ABN
and the truths that God is,
00:18:27.44\00:18:30.74
you know, given to the
Seventh-day Adventist Church.
00:18:30.77\00:18:32.31
They're right at the
top when people search.
00:18:32.34\00:18:33.98
Yes. It's right there.
00:18:34.01\00:18:35.34
Yes, yes 'cause people won't
keep clicking through pages
00:18:35.38\00:18:38.18
and pages and pages.
00:18:38.21\00:18:39.85
Yes, so that's very important.
00:18:39.88\00:18:42.02
When I think
about the Bible truths
00:18:42.05\00:18:43.39
that we have,
Jason, it's amazing.
00:18:43.42\00:18:44.75
It's not 3ABN's message,
00:18:44.79\00:18:46.55
it's not your
message or my message.
00:18:46.59\00:18:48.82
It's about God's
Word. That's right.
00:18:48.86\00:18:51.19
And it doesn't return void
00:18:51.23\00:18:52.66
and it's sharper
than any two-edged sword,
00:18:52.69\00:18:54.40
you know I mean it.
00:18:54.43\00:18:55.76
You know, it
changes lives, you know,
00:18:55.80\00:18:57.17
and it's living and it's just...
00:18:57.20\00:18:59.13
It's amazing so to
have that opportunity
00:18:59.17\00:19:00.67
to share is incredible.
00:19:00.70\00:19:03.04
What are some of the things
00:19:03.07\00:19:04.41
that 3ABN has been doing
to connect with the viewers
00:19:04.44\00:19:08.98
and maybe even people
that aren't viewing...
00:19:09.01\00:19:12.28
Specifically, I'm
thinking of rallies.
00:19:12.31\00:19:14.62
Oh, yeah.
00:19:14.65\00:19:15.98
Those are fun and that's
where we actually get to go out
00:19:16.02\00:19:17.72
what you're saying on rally,
we go to a particular church,
00:19:17.75\00:19:21.09
you and Jill work
on organizing that
00:19:21.12\00:19:23.59
and that's been really exciting
00:19:23.63\00:19:24.96
because we get to
meet people face to face.
00:19:24.99\00:19:27.53
And they're family,
Jason. Yes, absolutely.
00:19:27.56\00:19:29.66
You know, so to me
are, they are supporters
00:19:29.70\00:19:31.90
and the prayer
warriors is fantastic.
00:19:31.93\00:19:34.57
What are some miracle
stories or some testimonies
00:19:34.60\00:19:37.07
that you can share
from some of these rallies?
00:19:37.11\00:19:39.64
Well, there was a
person that we met recently
00:19:39.67\00:19:43.14
and this is just...
00:19:43.18\00:19:44.51
I mean, it's just incredible.
00:19:44.55\00:19:46.21
This person was
searching for truth
00:19:46.25\00:19:48.98
and they were
watching religious,
00:19:49.02\00:19:51.15
it wasn't 3ABN,
00:19:51.19\00:19:52.52
it was
Non-Adventist programming,
00:19:52.55\00:19:54.06
but it was a religious network
00:19:54.09\00:19:55.66
and they were
just, they loved it.
00:19:55.69\00:19:57.19
So they turned it on
one day, they're like,
00:19:57.23\00:19:59.26
wow, I'm looking at the video
00:19:59.29\00:20:02.16
but the audio,
Jason, doesn't match.
00:20:02.20\00:20:05.70
Well, that's a problem. It is.
00:20:05.73\00:20:08.10
But they were
intrigued with the audio
00:20:08.14\00:20:09.67
that they were hearing.
00:20:09.70\00:20:11.04
What was the audio?
00:20:11.07\00:20:12.41
I don't know
exactly the programming,
00:20:12.44\00:20:13.78
but it was 3ABN program.
00:20:13.81\00:20:15.14
I don't know the
program they were listening to,
00:20:15.18\00:20:16.51
but it's 3ABN audio
that they were hearing.
00:20:16.54\00:20:19.15
Isn't this amazing?
00:20:19.18\00:20:20.52
It is, and what are the
odds of that, you know...
00:20:20.55\00:20:22.62
Divined appointment. Absolutely.
00:20:22.65\00:20:24.35
So they're watching the
video, doesn't match the audio
00:20:24.39\00:20:27.56
but what they're really
paying attention to of course
00:20:27.59\00:20:29.22
is the truth
that they're hearing
00:20:29.26\00:20:30.59
and they're like,
"Wow, this is good.
00:20:30.63\00:20:32.09
This is deep.
00:20:32.13\00:20:33.73
But I don't think it's
right, searching their Bible,
00:20:33.76\00:20:37.57
wow, what I'm hearing is truth.
00:20:37.60\00:20:40.44
"This is great."
00:20:40.47\00:20:41.80
And you know
what happened, Jason?
00:20:41.84\00:20:43.17
What?
00:20:43.20\00:20:44.54
Over time, the video
that they're watching
00:20:44.57\00:20:46.61
slowly got less
and less and faded away
00:20:46.64\00:20:49.21
until 3ABN's
video matched the audio
00:20:49.24\00:20:52.61
and they're getting
3ABN video and audio
00:20:52.65\00:20:55.68
clearly at their home.
00:20:55.72\00:20:57.72
So we're at this one
rally, you were there,
00:20:57.75\00:21:00.36
they're baptized member,
been a member of the church,
00:21:00.39\00:21:02.42
I think they
said about 10 years.
00:21:02.46\00:21:04.59
That's a miracle! That is.
00:21:04.63\00:21:05.96
I mean, that is God working
doing real life miracles today.
00:21:05.99\00:21:10.47
Absolutely.
00:21:10.50\00:21:11.83
And He's trying
to reach everybody
00:21:11.87\00:21:13.20
He can possibly reach.
00:21:13.23\00:21:14.70
And there's no faster
way to do that than media.
00:21:14.74\00:21:17.07
Oh, yeah, you
know, that's right.
00:21:17.11\00:21:18.44
Yeah, it's so instant, you know,
00:21:18.47\00:21:20.44
and the thing is too
00:21:20.48\00:21:21.81
as sometimes people
can be a little intimidated
00:21:21.84\00:21:24.05
if you go to somebody's door,
00:21:24.08\00:21:25.41
there's still
door-to-door evangelism.
00:21:25.45\00:21:27.12
I believe in it.
00:21:27.15\00:21:28.52
But the nice thing
about coming into your home,
00:21:28.55\00:21:30.45
via the television,
internet, your phone
00:21:30.49\00:21:34.02
is that you're all by yourself,
00:21:34.06\00:21:35.99
you don't feel
pressure from anyone else
00:21:36.02\00:21:37.56
to do those searches.
00:21:37.59\00:21:38.93
And then God can
change your heart.
00:21:38.96\00:21:41.10
And He is.
00:21:41.13\00:21:42.46
Absolutely, and
you find the answers
00:21:42.50\00:21:44.27
to what you're seeking...
00:21:44.30\00:21:45.63
Oh, yeah, absolutely. For sure.
00:21:45.67\00:21:47.84
What would you say
are some of the challenges
00:21:47.87\00:21:49.70
that you face in your
current role as president?
00:21:49.74\00:21:54.41
That's a really good question.
00:21:54.44\00:21:56.61
For me, I'm just
trying to learn my job.
00:21:56.64\00:21:58.15
Okay.
00:21:58.18\00:21:59.51
And it's fun,
you know, all of...
00:21:59.55\00:22:01.15
You know, the
whole team here at 3ABN
00:22:01.18\00:22:02.92
is just so supportive
and everyone is very patient.
00:22:02.95\00:22:06.45
You know, the key is to
learn from your mistakes.
00:22:06.49\00:22:08.39
Like I mentioned
I'm not a perfect person
00:22:08.42\00:22:09.76
so learning things,
but it's just really fun.
00:22:09.79\00:22:13.13
I think some of the challenges
for 3ABN right now, of course,
00:22:13.16\00:22:17.23
is that there are
so many opportunities
00:22:17.27\00:22:20.24
to just go out there and...
00:22:20.27\00:22:23.57
'Cause it takes money to
get the gospel out there.
00:22:23.61\00:22:25.64
We're talking about
all these Video on Demand
00:22:25.67\00:22:27.58
and getting more exposure
on the internet costs money,
00:22:27.61\00:22:31.81
so I think that would be
one of the biggest challenges
00:22:31.85\00:22:34.22
like there are so
many opportunities
00:22:34.25\00:22:36.08
and right now it's just like,
00:22:36.12\00:22:37.52
"Oh, dear Lord,
00:22:37.55\00:22:39.65
help us pick the
right direction right now
00:22:39.69\00:22:41.62
'cause we only
have so much funds
00:22:41.66\00:22:43.56
that are here right now.
00:22:43.59\00:22:45.16
We have to be good
stewards of the funds
00:22:45.19\00:22:47.83
that God has given
to 3ABN and then say,
00:22:47.86\00:22:50.23
"Okay God, this is the direction
00:22:50.27\00:22:52.03
I feel we should take.
00:22:52.07\00:22:53.40
Let's go this direction."
00:22:53.44\00:22:54.77
So you know, I
think it's that challenge
00:22:54.80\00:22:56.14
just trying to figure out, wow,
00:22:56.17\00:22:57.51
we've got so much money
00:22:57.54\00:22:58.87
and we got so
many opportunities,
00:22:58.91\00:23:00.24
we don't have enough
money to get out there yet,
00:23:00.28\00:23:01.71
but God's got all taken
care of in his timing so...
00:23:01.74\00:23:04.91
And I think for me too, Jason,
00:23:04.95\00:23:06.28
is that I don't want to
stand in the way humanly
00:23:06.31\00:23:10.69
as Greg Morokoni.
00:23:10.72\00:23:12.32
I wanna be emptied of myself
00:23:12.35\00:23:15.82
and be filled
with the Holy Spirit,
00:23:15.86\00:23:17.39
be filled with God so
I think it challenges,
00:23:17.43\00:23:19.09
it's just fighting
against myself like,
00:23:19.13\00:23:20.63
okay, get rid of self, Greg.
00:23:20.66\00:23:23.67
And let God fill you so...
00:23:23.70\00:23:25.30
And then you know,
00:23:25.33\00:23:26.67
that's a daily
battle for everybody.
00:23:26.70\00:23:28.04
That's true. You're right.
00:23:28.07\00:23:29.40
You know, so what
can the viewers do
00:23:29.44\00:23:32.64
to help 3ABN
00:23:32.67\00:23:35.24
and maybe help with
some of those challenges
00:23:35.28\00:23:37.71
that you're facing?
00:23:37.75\00:23:39.08
That's a good point.
00:23:39.11\00:23:40.45
And I wanna say this too
is that if you have a story...
00:23:40.48\00:23:41.98
Can I just mention that?
00:23:42.02\00:23:43.35
If someone has a
story at home, Jason,
00:23:43.39\00:23:44.72
to actually send an email,
00:23:44.75\00:23:46.29
I don't know what email
you want them to send it to,
00:23:46.32\00:23:47.99
but you know the email address
00:23:48.02\00:23:49.79
because what that
does that encourages us,
00:23:49.82\00:23:51.83
but then we take those stories,
00:23:51.86\00:23:53.29
we put them
either into articles,
00:23:53.33\00:23:54.66
we share them on the air,
and with that in turn does,
00:23:54.70\00:23:58.03
it encourages other people
00:23:58.07\00:23:59.43
that are giving a
dollar sacrificially, $20, wow.
00:23:59.47\00:24:03.67
My $1 is doing something.
00:24:03.71\00:24:05.77
So share in your story
00:24:05.81\00:24:07.24
how the God has worked
in your life through 3ABN.
00:24:07.28\00:24:10.68
Another way would be,
of course, financially.
00:24:10.71\00:24:12.75
That's a huge thing for
3ABN, we're faith based,
00:24:12.78\00:24:16.25
we're dependent upon the Lord,
00:24:16.28\00:24:19.22
and the Lord uses you
00:24:19.25\00:24:20.96
to support the ministry of 3ABN.
00:24:20.99\00:24:22.56
So thank you, many
of you supported 3ABN
00:24:22.59\00:24:24.89
for over 35 years.
00:24:24.93\00:24:26.80
Jason, I had someone
recently that just started.
00:24:26.83\00:24:29.76
Well, this is
what's cool, I mean,
00:24:29.80\00:24:31.37
just tell this quickly is that
00:24:31.40\00:24:33.13
they just stumble across
3ABN via a search online.
00:24:33.17\00:24:36.74
Okay.
00:24:36.77\00:24:38.11
And this is what so beautiful.
00:24:38.14\00:24:39.77
They were touched
by what they heard
00:24:39.81\00:24:41.28
and they
immediately started donating.
00:24:41.31\00:24:43.68
Five dollars but
on a monthly basis.
00:24:43.71\00:24:45.95
Wow. That's huge.
00:24:45.98\00:24:47.32
And that adds up.
00:24:47.35\00:24:48.68
Oh, it adds up in an amazing way
00:24:48.72\00:24:50.29
and God multiplies
00:24:50.32\00:24:51.79
like He did the loaves
and fishes thousand years ago.
00:24:51.82\00:24:54.26
He does the same
now with the funds
00:24:54.29\00:24:55.62
that come in here.
00:24:55.66\00:24:56.99
So you can go to
3ABN's website to donate,
00:24:57.03\00:24:59.73
and that's 3abn.tv,
00:24:59.76\00:25:02.30
then there's a
little donate tab at the top
00:25:02.33\00:25:05.03
and then you have
the different categories
00:25:05.07\00:25:06.63
that you can donate too.
00:25:06.67\00:25:08.24
It's really simple
PayPal, credit card,
00:25:08.27\00:25:10.37
you can click there monthly
if you want it reoccurring,
00:25:10.41\00:25:13.17
we still do snail mail.
00:25:13.21\00:25:14.98
Yes, yes.
00:25:15.01\00:25:16.34
PO Box 220, West
Frankfort, Illinois 62896.
00:25:16.38\00:25:19.71
We take checks as
well, but it's a blessing,
00:25:19.75\00:25:22.78
you know, you think about it.
00:25:22.82\00:25:24.39
You have an opportunity
00:25:24.42\00:25:25.75
to make a difference
in somebody else's life,
00:25:25.79\00:25:27.82
not just
temporarily here for eternity.
00:25:27.86\00:25:30.99
And what I'm looking forward
00:25:31.03\00:25:32.46
and I hope you are
too is to be in heaven
00:25:32.49\00:25:34.93
around the sea of glass,
Jason, can you imagine that?
00:25:34.96\00:25:37.67
If someone come
up to you and say,
00:25:37.70\00:25:39.80
Jason, thank
you and you're like,
00:25:39.83\00:25:42.10
"I don't even know you."
00:25:42.14\00:25:43.47
They're like, "I know you,
00:25:43.51\00:25:45.04
you made a
difference in my life,
00:25:45.07\00:25:46.41
I gave my heart
to Jesus Christ."
00:25:46.44\00:25:48.21
Boy... Yeah. That's huge.
00:25:48.24\00:25:50.15
Yeah, that'll be
absolutely incredible.
00:25:50.18\00:25:52.48
And that's what it's all about.
00:25:52.51\00:25:54.58
You know, that's
what it's all about
00:25:54.62\00:25:55.95
and that's what 3ABN does,
00:25:55.98\00:25:57.55
it just spread the gospel
00:25:57.59\00:25:58.92
'cause we wanna
help build the kingdom.
00:25:58.95\00:26:00.49
Oh, yeah. Yeah.
00:26:00.52\00:26:01.86
I can imagine how wonderful
it's going to be in heaven.
00:26:01.89\00:26:06.59
And I think about, you know,
00:26:06.63\00:26:07.96
this is what's so inspiring too,
00:26:08.00\00:26:09.33
you know working with Danny
00:26:09.36\00:26:10.70
is that he lives and
eats and breathes 3ABN.
00:26:10.73\00:26:13.07
And you've seen this
00:26:13.10\00:26:14.74
'cause you know that
sparkle in his eye...
00:26:14.77\00:26:17.07
Oh, yeah.
00:26:17.11\00:26:18.44
He loves the work of 3ABN.
00:26:18.47\00:26:20.38
But what excites him so
much is seeing lives changed.
00:26:20.41\00:26:23.68
That's just phenomenal,
so it's an inspiration.
00:26:23.71\00:26:26.41
Yes.
00:26:26.45\00:26:27.78
And so I hope that we hear
from our listeners and viewers
00:26:27.82\00:26:31.35
as to how their
lives have been transformed
00:26:31.39\00:26:34.42
by the ministry of 3ABN.
00:26:34.46\00:26:37.13
Real quick, what
are some projects
00:26:37.16\00:26:39.83
that you would like to see
00:26:39.86\00:26:41.20
coming into
fruition maybe in the future?
00:26:41.23\00:26:44.20
Yeah, one of them
that we're working on
00:26:44.23\00:26:45.80
really hard right now
00:26:45.83\00:26:47.17
is Video on
Demand like we mentioned
00:26:47.20\00:26:48.54
but on the 3ABN app.
00:26:48.57\00:26:49.97
Right now Video
on Demand can be...
00:26:50.01\00:26:51.97
You can get that on YouTube,
but we wanna put on the app
00:26:52.01\00:26:54.28
so when you
watch and download 3ABN
00:26:54.31\00:26:55.88
and put on your
app of your phone,
00:26:55.91\00:26:57.25
isn't that great?
00:26:57.28\00:26:58.61
That is wonderful.
00:26:58.65\00:26:59.98
You can click there, you
can watch the live stream
00:27:00.02\00:27:01.35
but then we may
wanna have another page
00:27:01.38\00:27:02.72
where we can sit there
00:27:02.75\00:27:04.09
and look at hundreds
of different programs
00:27:04.12\00:27:05.45
include Dare to Dream.
00:27:05.49\00:27:06.82
I like that.
00:27:06.86\00:27:08.19
3ABN Spark?
00:27:08.22\00:27:09.56
That's another big
one too which is shorts,
00:27:09.59\00:27:10.93
that we call shorts, it
will be five to ten minute,
00:27:10.96\00:27:12.36
could be testimonies,
00:27:12.39\00:27:13.83
a quick sermon all
within ten minutes.
00:27:13.86\00:27:15.93
That's 3ABN
Spark, that should be...
00:27:15.96\00:27:18.20
Yeah, coming up
in next few months.
00:27:18.23\00:27:21.57
Lot of fun things
coming up. Yes, yes.
00:27:21.60\00:27:23.71
I can't believe our
time is running away.
00:27:23.74\00:27:25.11
Real quick, do you
have any final thought
00:27:25.14\00:27:27.61
that you like to share
with our viewing audience?
00:27:27.64\00:27:29.54
You know, I'd like
to encourage you at home
00:27:29.58\00:27:31.05
to whatever God's put before you
00:27:31.08\00:27:32.88
to do it with all of your might.
00:27:32.91\00:27:35.08
Thank you, Greg.
00:27:35.12\00:27:36.45
Thank you for coming
on and sharing with us
00:27:36.48\00:27:38.02
and thank you
for your leadership.
00:27:38.05\00:27:39.52
Thank you for
having me. My pleasure.
00:27:39.55\00:27:42.62
In Ecclesiastes it says,
00:27:42.66\00:27:44.13
"Whatever your hand finds to do,
00:27:44.16\00:27:46.66
do it with all your might."
00:27:46.70\00:27:48.83
Well, we've reached
the end of another program.
00:27:48.86\00:27:51.73
Thanks for tuning in.
00:27:51.77\00:27:53.90
And until next time,
00:27:53.94\00:27:55.27
may God continue to
bless you and your family.
00:27:55.30\00:27:58.81
God bless.
00:27:58.84\00:28:00.18
