01:08 Hello and welcome to another 3ABN program,
01:11 Today program.
01:13 And I'm telling you I'm so excited.
01:14 I know it.
01:15 About our guests today and...
01:17 Me too. Where we're going?
01:18 We're gonna be traveling all the way to Russia.
01:21 And so I know for me, this is a great opportunity.
01:25 I love talking to Sister Julia Outkina.
01:27 Yeah.
01:28 Julia, I'm so glad that you're here today.
01:30 Oh, I'm so happy to be here, Yvonneshka.
01:33 Now I was so excited to introduce her
01:35 that I got to say thank you to all of our viewers
01:37 for your love, and your prayers,
01:38 and financial support,
01:40 and welcome you to this program.
01:42 But things are happening around the world
01:45 that says Jesus is coming soon.
01:46 That's right. That's right.
01:48 And when you say Jesus said, "Go ye into all the world."
01:51 And you see that places like the ex- Soviet Union
01:54 that was closed off,
01:55 they call it the Iron Curtain for a reason for so many years.
01:59 Then God opened it, physically tore the wall down
02:02 but then spiritually,
02:03 and to see what is happening is amazing to me.
02:06 And we couldn't do it,
02:08 of course, without each and every one of you.
02:10 So Yvonne,
02:11 tell me little bit about Julia,
02:13 and what you've learned about Julia
02:14 in the last few years you've known her?
02:16 You know, when I first came to 3ABN,
02:18 I heard you talk about Julia.
02:21 And Julia, the spiritual side
02:24 and the giving side and just,
02:26 but when I met her,
02:28 you see Jesus in Julia.
02:30 Yeah.
02:31 And that is just, I mean,
02:33 there's no better thing than that
02:35 than to see Jesus in someone.
02:37 She's so caring and giving
02:39 and when we go to Russia,
02:40 she and her team were so loving and...
02:42 Aren't they?
02:43 Yes, just loving
02:45 and by this shall all men know that you're my disciples,
02:47 if you have love one for another
02:49 and Julia has that.
02:51 So we just love Julia.
02:53 A heart for people and a heart for the gospel.
02:56 Absolutely, so welcome back home.
02:58 Thank you so much. I feel at home.
03:01 Yeah, that's for sure.
03:02 Feel happy Absolutely, when I go to Russia,
03:03 it's my second home
03:05 and this is hopefully your second home.
03:06 Yes.
03:08 There are four of us who have come this time today
03:10 and just present updating you
03:12 on what's happening at 3ABN Russia
03:14 and then we'll have another program
03:15 with other people.
03:16 So we entered the apartment
03:18 where we're staying here at 3ABN, a beautiful apartment.
03:21 As always 3ABN takes such good care of the people
03:25 who come here.
03:26 And then I see that balloon
03:27 and it says welcome home, heart,
03:30 and it says welcome home
03:32 and beautiful flowers and the fruit.
03:34 Thank you so much.
03:36 It seems.
03:38 Literally, it's almost impossible.
03:40 It's been 27 years,
03:42 since you and I met in Russia, 1992.
03:45 Wow! I mean, that's amazing.
03:47 3ABN,
03:49 we were, you know, went on the air in '86.
03:52 The idea came, it actually went full time in '86.
03:55 So just six years later,
03:57 we were in Russia.
03:58 And it didn't seem like at the time,
04:00 seemed like we were networked
04:02 and, you know, was going along growing,
04:03 doing all these things.
04:05 And now I look back and I say we're all...
04:06 Julia and I were both in our late 30s.
04:10 You know, when I went back there,
04:11 I think I was hitting,
04:12 maybe it's 40 and you're too behind me.
04:15 Oh, I shouldn't tell.
04:17 She is several years, several years behind me.
04:20 No, no, don't go there.
04:21 Several years behind me, does that help.
04:23 Young enough to be my daughter.
04:24 Oh, wow! Yeah.
04:27 I got to be truthful but she is younger than me.
04:29 But I remember we were so young at the time,
04:32 and took on a huge project,
04:33 you know, and all these years later,
04:36 you're still there.
04:37 What a blessing. Yeah.
04:39 How did you two meet, you and Julia?
04:41 I'll let her tell you. Okay.
04:43 That's an interesting story.
04:45 You know, I started attending Pastor John Carter's meetings
04:48 because they were in the English language.
04:52 Of course, they spoke in the English language
04:53 and I was a teacher of English
04:55 and I wanted to listen to English.
04:58 And then the message penetrated my heart
05:02 and my brother was the governor of Nizhny Novgorod province
05:06 at that time.
05:08 And I went to his office once,
05:11 everything was so simple,
05:12 you know, no security, no guards,
05:15 and I went into the back room,
05:17 where my brother relax, took his...
05:21 Oh, no some time to eat something
05:24 or to drink his tea.
05:26 And there I went into that room,
05:27 I opened the door a little bit
05:30 that led to his office,
05:32 and there I see all those people
05:35 who I saw on this stage of a huge sports arena
05:39 during those meetings.
05:41 There was Pastor John Carter, there was Danny,
05:43 there was their attorney, Harold followed,
05:47 and other people from the United States.
05:50 So that was the first time when I really, you know,
05:55 saw Danny, and then after that meeting,
05:58 I came up to them, I came up to the group.
06:01 So probably that was the first time
06:03 when we just saw one and another.
06:06 Yeah, you know what we were doing there?
06:08 What?
06:09 We didn't go over our own free will,
06:11 Pastor Carter knocked on my door and said,
06:14 the governor wants to see us.
06:16 And he said, "I don't think
06:17 he's too happy about all the baptisms
06:19 that's been taking place."
06:21 We had 2,532 people that were baptized.
06:25 And so the governor in the arch,
06:27 I don't know, it's archbishop. Yeah, archbishop.
06:28 Archbishop wants to talk,
06:31 they want to talk to you.
06:32 So I and, you know, I jokingly said,
06:35 "Well, let me know how it goes or something like that."
06:37 And he's like, "No, they want you too,
06:39 you know, you're part of this 3ABN,
06:41 you're the media part," so we went to visit him.
06:44 And at first it was a pretty,
06:46 you know, her brother was, was very direct,
06:50 but he was nice, has nice face about him.
06:52 Very young.
06:54 I think he was 33 years old or some at the time
06:56 33, 34 years old,
06:58 and very young, maybe 35,
07:01 I don't remember, early 30s.
07:02 And so he looked too young to be a governor.
07:06 And so, but he was there and so the archbishop,
07:10 he told, asked Elder Carter, "What are you doing?"
07:12 "Baptizing people."
07:14 'And why are you baptizing people?"
07:15 The Russians are,
07:17 you know, baptized are sprinkled into the,
07:19 I guess, the Orthodox,
07:21 Russian Orthodox Church when they're babies.
07:22 And so you really don't need to do any of this.
07:25 And so why are you doing all of this?
07:26 And, you know, we really,
07:28 and, you know, the Orthodox priest
07:31 actually ran the conversation.
07:35 And I felt like the governor
07:36 was just trying to listen to him
07:39 and maybe appease him.
07:40 And not sure where he stood himself,
07:43 but I think he was supportive of the church
07:45 because that's the, you know, the Russian church.
07:47 Traditional Russian.
07:49 Yeah, and so, as we begin to talk Elder Carter,
07:54 really, I mean, he would spoke so boldly,
07:56 I couldn't believe how boldly he spoke.
07:59 And so there, her brother said something like,
08:02 well, you know, you all gonna have to leave.
08:05 And Elder Carter said, "Well, you can send us out,
08:08 but we will come back.
08:10 There's more Adventists and all the people
08:11 who have joined the Adventist Church,
08:13 they're gonna be witnessing to people."
08:15 And so then he said,
08:17 and besides US News
08:19 and World Report governor said that
08:20 you are the most democratic governor
08:23 in all the Ex-Soviet Union.
08:25 But he said, it doesn't sound like it to me
08:27 because he said in America,
08:30 the Russian Orthodox Church is a minority,
08:33 but we don't kick them out.
08:35 And we don't tell them, they can't be here
08:37 and proselytize or try to win people.
08:40 And so he says,
08:41 so you shouldn't do that either
08:43 if you're a democratic government,
08:44 you should support,
08:45 you know, both of us.
08:47 And so, finally, the governor said,
08:49 well, why do we need the baptism?
08:51 So that's when Elder Carter said,
08:52 "Oh, I happened to have a letter."
08:54 And I didn't know at the time if he knew in advance,
08:57 or if it just the Lord worked it out that way.
09:00 But he pulled out this letter.
09:01 He said, may I read it?
09:03 The governor was like, you know, okay.
09:05 So he said, yeah,
09:07 and I just remember part of it started out.
09:09 Thank you all for coming in.
09:11 And your message is brought me out of darkness
09:13 into marvelous light, something like that, right Julia?
09:16 It was a long letter.
09:17 It was several pages, six pages, I think.
09:19 Wow!
09:21 And so he started...
09:22 I just described my experience with the Lord
09:23 that I had through those meetings.
09:26 And so the governor was not that impressed,
09:28 or the archbishop tell at the end, he's like, okay.
09:32 And he says, this letter was written governed by,
09:35 or he said something like, who wrote this letter?
09:38 Who is this from?
09:39 And he said, Julia Outkina and the governor's like, who?
09:43 The Julia Outkina. He goes, that's my sister.
09:47 Oh, wow!
09:49 Look at God, look at how God just,
09:51 how He brought you together and...
09:53 That changed everything. Incredible.
09:55 And he said, and I didn't know that she would,
09:57 was walking in or looking through the back door
10:00 because we hadn't met.
10:01 And he said, when he said, that's my sister
10:04 and he knew Julia is his older sister,
10:06 and he trusted her and loved her,
10:08 knew she wouldn't just be out, whatever.
10:10 So literally, everything changed.
10:13 So he told that the governor, you know what?
10:15 We're just gonna have to get together,
10:16 we have a greater enemy than each other
10:19 is communism,
10:20 we don't want communism back.
10:22 So we're gonna, you know,
10:23 have to make room for everybody.
10:25 And, of course, the archbishop wasn't happy at all.
10:27 So then he said to somebody,
10:29 we're gonna get the media in here.
10:31 And he told him that I never forget,
10:33 he told the archbishop,
10:35 you smile when camera comes on.
10:37 And you shake hands.
10:38 Yeah, shake hands with Elder Carter.
10:40 Yeah.
10:41 And you smile, he said.
10:43 Wow.
10:44 And so, you know, then he took over the meeting.
10:47 But after that, I mean,
10:48 her brother was always a tremendous support
10:51 when I got to meet him on a, you know,
10:53 more in a personal way, after,
10:55 you know,
10:56 this particular time and getting to know him
10:58 and he was always supportive.
11:00 And for those that don't know, Julia's brother,
11:04 Boris Nemtsov was one literally was,
11:07 just say, killed or executed,
11:09 but in Moscow, assassinated in Moscow.
11:12 How many years? Is that four?
11:14 2015, February of 2015.
11:17 About four years ago,
11:18 and that, which is terrible.
11:22 I mean, because he was part of like an opposition group,
11:25 or, you know, and of course,
11:28 so I don't know if they ever decided
11:30 or who knows, God knows what it is.
11:32 But what a tremendous work that your brother did
11:35 because I know, out of the...
11:37 I think there was a 12 or 13 foreign businesses
11:41 that was opened up
11:43 into Nizhny Novgorod into Russia in that area.
11:46 He had 52 million people in his constituency.
11:49 Huge.
11:51 I mean, tremendous amount of people
11:53 and there were only I think,
11:54 12 or 13 foreign businesses
11:56 that they allowed to come in
11:59 and actually get property like we did.
12:01 And out of those within I think two years,
12:03 I think, every one of those businesses
12:05 were, went left,
12:07 either went to front or left,
12:10 and we're the only ones that stayed in there
12:13 but a lot of it was, you know,
12:14 his support in so many ways
12:16 that you know, he didn't just get up
12:18 and say this is gonna happen or that.
12:20 But if we had questions, had ideas
12:22 and whatever that he was able to support 3ABN
12:26 and, of course, he loved Julia, you know, so much.
12:29 Yeah. Thank you, Danny.
12:31 You know,
12:35 Danny always is a vibrant speaker.
12:39 And as far as that meeting is concerned,
12:42 he just told me, he said, you know,
12:45 it was probably one of very few meetings
12:48 in the governor's office when I couldn't speak,
12:52 I just listen to what other people said.
12:55 Because that was, and you know, I,
12:58 Danny he always kind of says good things about me,
13:04 whenever he can.
13:06 And I want to take this opportunity
13:08 to say the most wonderful things
13:10 about Danny.
13:12 Jesus in Danny, this is what Danny likes to say.
13:15 He says, I'm not lifting up, Julia,
13:17 I'm lifting up Jesus in Julia.
13:19 And I want to take this opportunity
13:20 to lift up Jesus in Danny.
13:22 Because you know, it is the purity of his heart
13:26 and it is the boldness of his vision
13:30 that has made 3ABN Russia possible.
13:33 Because if his intentions were not pure,
13:36 the Lord wouldn't bless the way He has blessed.
13:39 If his intentions were not pure,
13:41 the Lord wouldn't have blessed 3ABN the way
13:43 He has blessed 3ABN worldwide
13:46 because the Lord knows it all.
13:49 And, you know, and the most amazing thing for me
13:53 is his faith.
13:54 No matter what happens,
13:57 you know, it is my example,
14:00 what Danny says,
14:01 I don't lose sleep over the bad.
14:05 Really terrible things happening sometimes
14:08 to people like him,
14:10 because the devil is so much against,
14:12 he doesn't want God's work to go around the world.
14:15 So Danny says, I never lose my sleep.
14:17 And I think how calm,
14:19 how can you not lose your sleep.
14:21 I lose my sleep over so many things,
14:23 sometimes even very small things.
14:26 And then, you know,
14:28 27 years is a long time.
14:30 I was baptized 27 years ago,
14:32 and it is a growing process for all of us.
14:35 I'm convinced about that
14:37 and I'm sure that growing process
14:39 will continue till the end,
14:41 till our very last breath.
14:44 Because we're all unfit for the kingdom.
14:47 There's no, not a single person who is fit,
14:50 and the Lord just to make us happy,
14:54 to make us happy in Him,
14:57 to make us pure in Him,
14:59 He puts us through all those difficult circumstances
15:02 where we make our choices for Him,
15:05 for His kingdom, for His character
15:10 and that's what we grow through it.
15:12 So what I want to say it is,
15:15 again, uplifting Jesus in Danny,
15:18 but due to him, there is 3ABN
15:20 and there is 3ABN Russia
15:21 and they continue to flourish in the Lord
15:25 and Lord's cause continues.
15:27 I believe only in the eternity will we know
15:30 what 3ABN has done around the world.
15:33 Because we don't see the viewers physically,
15:38 they see us but we don't see them.
15:41 And then you don't have enough feedback to know
15:44 what's happening there.
15:47 And only in the eternity
15:48 we will know how mass media affects the hearts
15:52 when the message comes into human home.
15:56 So thank you, Danny, I remember about those things.
15:59 I don't lose my sleep over any bad things.
16:03 Because why?
16:04 Because he trusts the Lord.
16:06 That's right.
16:07 He knows, whatever the Lord does
16:08 is the best thing for all of us,
16:11 for Danny, for the ministry, for everything.
16:14 And he knows that God has His hand
16:16 on him and this ministry.
16:18 This ministry is God's ministry,
16:20 and so God protects it
16:22 and guides it and has given Danny
16:24 the personality
16:28 to be at the helm of it.
16:29 And that's such a blessing,
16:31 you know, the strength and the faith
16:33 and it all comes from the Lord,
16:35 so we praise the Lord for that.
16:37 He hates when we talk about him,
16:39 by the way, I know he's squirming.
16:41 Yeah, he is speechless again.
16:43 But he always very good at telling others,
16:46 you know, how much they've done and all that and so.
16:49 You know, we should say this on time
16:51 because let us not say those things too late.
16:53 That's right. Yeah.
16:55 And just, you know, praise the Lord,
16:57 praise the Lord, for,
16:58 you know, for people like Danny,
17:00 for the ministry like 3ABN.
17:02 It makes the difference in the world.
17:04 You know, people do things,
17:05 it doesn't mean anybody's perfect.
17:07 We all make mistakes,
17:08 we all fall short of the glory of God,
17:10 we all sin,
17:11 but we keep coming back.
17:13 And when you at home, don't be discouraged.
17:15 No matter what happens to you,
17:16 what people are saying about you,
17:18 maybe even if it's true,
17:19 you just say, Lord, please forgive me.
17:21 And you know what? The Lord will forgive you.
17:23 And He says,
17:24 "He will forgive us from our sins,
17:25 cleanse us from all unrighteousness."
17:27 We can get up on our feet,
17:29 take off again, we get knocked down.
17:31 Satan will hate you
17:32 if you're about the Lord's business.
17:34 In fact, I always like to say,
17:36 there're lot of people,
17:38 he's got all this little, little,
17:39 what do you call them?
17:41 Little, little...
17:42 Minions. Yeah.
17:43 But people
17:45 who are on the front line for the Lord,
17:46 he knows, the devil knows their names.
17:49 And he's after, he's out to steal, kill, and to destroy.
17:52 Things that have happened to Julia
17:54 in the last number of years are just,
17:56 you know, some of you look and say this is terrible.
17:59 How does she keep going?
18:00 In the same year, last year,
18:03 not only your brother, and your husband,
18:05 you know, in an accident.
18:07 I mean, this is just terrible to be able to do that,
18:10 and then continue to go on and to go forward.
18:14 But you can only do that
18:15 because the peace that you have in the Lord.
18:18 So, Julia, for instance,
18:20 when we went to Russia,
18:22 and we're just talking today,
18:23 and maybe I'm sure there's a reason for it.
18:26 And the Lord wants somebody to hear
18:27 but when we went to Russia,
18:30 as I said, I don't think I was,
18:31 maybe I was right around 40 years old.
18:33 I thought I was,
18:35 you know, oldest,
18:36 I ever needed to be and now look back...
18:37 I was 39. Yeah.
18:39 So you may have been 40.
18:40 Yeah, 40, 41.
18:41 So I...
18:43 Well, it's '92 I was born, 51, so I'd been 41.
18:45 And so when I went there, I turned on my birthday,
18:49 I think in Russia I was there on my birthday on May 19,
18:52 my birthday but when I went there,
18:55 and we saw this huge,
18:59 you know, amount, a great response
19:01 that you know,
19:03 the church in Nizhny held like 200 people or 250.
19:06 And so when we went to build this facility
19:10 and the government had opened up
19:11 for the first time for foreigners
19:13 and then eight acres of property
19:15 and then look like a bombed out shelter.
19:17 What happened? They never finished.
19:18 What was supposed to be, what was it?
19:20 A theater or...
19:22 Yeah, a Palace of Culture for a metal plant,
19:25 metal factory that was nearby.
19:29 Yeah.
19:30 And so it never got finished in this huge facility.
19:33 Maybe 250,000 square feet of, it's so big,
19:36 you've never really figured out how to measure
19:38 'cause you can't just walk around it
19:39 and measure.
19:41 At time you go upstairs,
19:42 Jim's on like, there were six floors
19:43 or something, is way up.
19:45 And then, of course,
19:46 there's a basement under the whole thing.
19:47 But to go there and see this,
19:49 I'll never forget Bob Ellis and Bob is now resting,
19:52 you know, and waiting a second coming as of few months ago.
19:57 And so Bob went and I was telling him,
19:59 he's a newspaper writer,
20:02 here in Southern Illinois, a very well-known person.
20:05 And I said, Bob,
20:06 the Lord has opened the door, we bought this huge facility,
20:09 we're gonna build this,
20:11 you know, I don't know at the time
20:13 if we call it Christian Cultural Center
20:15 or what it was,
20:17 but we're building this huge facility there
20:19 for the glory of God.
20:20 So I want you to come back with me.
20:22 And he said, "Oh, I'd love it."
20:23 When we went there and when we got out,
20:27 drove up to the place,
20:28 there was water trucks out in the street
20:30 with great big pumps in the basement,
20:33 were all been flooded.
20:34 And so they were pouring out
20:36 thousands and thousands of gallons of water
20:38 was in it, was a muddy mess.
20:40 And there was trees growing,
20:41 you could hardly see the building,
20:43 trees all over, weeds, I mean, brush.
20:45 And it was like,
20:46 you had to duck through and move things.
20:48 We actually have some of that video
20:50 that maybe we'll be able to show here
20:52 that how just trying to find it.
20:54 And Bob went back to the room
20:56 and he told me later,
20:58 "I've never been so depressed in my life."
21:01 How are you come into a place like Russia,
21:04 and you have nothing over here,
21:05 you don't know anybody
21:07 and you think you're gonna make a,
21:09 you know, an evangelism center here.
21:12 This is impossible.
21:13 So he took it a lot worse than we.
21:15 I was encouraged, I said,
21:16 man, God has just opened the doors and he's like,
21:19 that's the biggest mess I've ever seen.
21:22 You know, it'll take you years to finish that
21:24 and no telling how much money
21:26 but I just knew the Lord said to do it,
21:29 opened up the doors.
21:30 And then later Bob tells the story himself.
21:33 He said, I never believed in the inward but miracle.
21:37 But I learned to traveling with 3ABN
21:41 to see when God open so many doors.
21:44 But while the facility is big,
21:46 all of that, that's not the main reason.
21:50 To me the emphasis is on souls
21:52 coming to the kingdom of God.
21:53 Yes.
21:55 But when I met Julia,
21:56 now in Russia, you have to understand the mentality
21:58 that people for one of the men told me there
22:02 right after communism fell.
22:04 We pretend to work
22:05 and the government pretends to pay us.
22:07 So they had all these jobs and the government take,
22:10 takes care of everything.
22:11 But you really don't climb up the ladder like your hair,
22:14 you don't use your own vision to go create new jobs
22:18 or to start your own businesses,
22:19 they never had that.
22:21 So then the mentality is they're making $15 a month
22:25 at that time.
22:26 You know, yeah, gas was only 11 cents
22:29 or something a gallon is very cheap.
22:31 But you know, and rent was very cheap.
22:32 But for the mentality of the people,
22:36 we didn't know who we could trust
22:37 or who we couldn't.
22:39 So we're gonna go be
22:40 putting hundreds of thousands of dollars.
22:42 But the bank wanted 40%.
22:46 If we put money in the bank it was 40%,
22:48 I believe when we first started.
22:49 Wow.
22:51 And so we said, "Well, we can't let them charge us 40%,
22:54 $40,000 for putting money in the bank,"
22:57 and that was a fortune then.
22:58 So we ended up getting our own safe,
23:01 but we ended up,
23:02 you know, first we kept some money in the conference
23:04 and said that they're safe.
23:07 And then later I would take over
23:08 as much as $100,000 cash at a time
23:11 when John Carter was there,
23:13 and my cousin Janice's husband,
23:15 and carrying that on the trains and in the subways
23:18 and all that hoping people are making $15 a month
23:21 and I've got $100,000 cash is going to 3ABN Russia
23:24 because this facility had to be finished was a,
23:27 you know,
23:29 to me, it's a monument to the Lord,
23:31 to give praise and honor and glory to Him.
23:33 But so I met Julia.
23:36 And so when I went to the church,
23:38 you were there to translate, right?
23:40 When I met Elder Basil Stolyar.
23:44 That was in...
23:45 We first met in my brother's office.
23:47 And then we met
23:49 in the conference president's office.
23:51 And that was not supposed to be the person
23:55 who was supposed to translate fell ill.
23:58 And when I became,
24:00 just wrote down my baptismal vows,
24:03 signed my baptismal vows.
24:05 I just said, whenever the church can use me,
24:07 I'll be happy to and I'm a translator.
24:09 So just before that meeting,
24:12 they call me and they say,
24:13 can you help at a meeting
24:17 to translate?
24:19 And I said, "Yes, I will be happy to."
24:20 So this is where we really met with Danny.
24:23 Wow.
24:24 Again, you can just see God's hand in that.
24:26 Yeah.
24:28 Oh, yeah, she said she wasn't supposed to be there.
24:30 And so we went there.
24:31 And so I said, "Well, we're gonna have to,
24:34 you know, build something,
24:35 how we gonna, who we gonna work with,
24:37 what are we gonna do."
24:38 So was it then I asked you to...
24:40 Yes.
24:41 Right at the end of that meeting,
24:43 you just asked the conference president.
24:47 Well, you talked with him in my presence,
24:50 just saying that I would like to hire this person
24:52 for translating to this American supervisor,
24:58 to work on the construction to finish
25:00 constructing the facility.
25:02 It was just there at that meeting.
25:04 And did you pray about it
25:06 and think about it for some time?
25:07 Oh, you know,
25:09 I was immediately the happiest person
25:11 in the world
25:13 because I was a teacher of English.
25:15 And I accepted God in the first place
25:21 through the meetings held by Pastor John Carter.
25:24 And I called and joined with 3ABN
25:26 because as far as I know,
25:27 100% of the finances for that series in my city
25:32 was raised through 3ABN due to Danny.
25:35 Danny had that vision
25:36 that, like, you know,
25:39 not just the money comes to 3ABN,
25:41 the money comes for evangelizing the world.
25:44 And so they...
25:50 I'm still with jet lag.
25:52 No. That's all right.
25:53 No, no.
25:55 So while we were talking about you accepting,
25:57 you said you was the happiest person
25:58 in the world.
25:59 Oh, yes, yes, yes, because I was supposed
26:01 to go back to my work
26:03 as a teacher of English in a university.
26:08 And I accepted,
26:11 you know, the Lord with all my heart,
26:13 was so happy.
26:14 But I was not ready to talk to other people about this,
26:17 including Sabbath.
26:19 I accepted Sabbath without a question.
26:22 If it's God's law, then it's my law,
26:24 I want to keep His law.
26:26 But I didn't want to talk to my employees
26:29 at the university about that.
26:31 I was not ready for that.
26:32 And then here, you know,
26:34 comes Danny, and he's impressed from one meeting,
26:38 isn't it the Lord who was,
26:40 you know, letting him know, letting me know,
26:44 he's showing us a little bit of the huge plan
26:46 that he had, at that time for this project.
26:50 And I thought,
26:51 "Oh, I don't have to tell anyone
26:52 about Sabbath."
26:54 Now they're in the university,
26:55 I just, I will just,
26:57 you know, work for the Lord.
27:00 And I will be among fellow believers.
27:04 So I was the happiest person in the world.
27:07 And then I started working with John Cantor,
27:10 following him as a translator.
27:12 And those were long hours, he was a big guy.
27:17 So, you know, so hard working.
27:21 He gave so much time, I don't know.
27:24 I'm, frankly speaking,
27:26 I need to sleep a long to be in a good shape.
27:29 And the Lord performed His other miracle there
27:33 because I couldn't sleep long enough hours
27:35 working with John Cantor,
27:37 but I was in a good shape.
27:39 And I was happy. Praise the Lord.
27:41 So you accepted right away
27:44 they offered the work?
27:45 Oh, yes, yes, yes. Yeah.
27:47 And I remember, if I remember this correctly,
27:50 I thought there's no way I could pay her $15 a month,
27:53 you know, $25.
27:55 And then I felt even badly about that
27:56 'cause I'm looking at what we make.
27:58 Right.
27:59 But they don't pay $500 a month or $1,000 a month
28:02 for rent there either.
28:03 Right.
28:05 And so the people told us, well, don't overpay
28:07 'cause people expect stuff.
28:08 So I said,
28:10 you know, I'd be happy to pay like $25 a month
28:13 that wasn't quite doubling her salary, but almost.
28:16 And she said, "Oh, no."
28:17 And I remember this, she said,
28:19 "Look, if I work for the world,
28:21 you know, for $15 a month,
28:23 I'm sure not gonna charge more to work for the Lord,
28:26 to work for God.
28:27 So just pay me the same."
28:29 And I've told the story before,
28:30 but over the years, we thought we gave her raises.
28:33 We thought we gave her clothes, when she'd come over here,
28:35 people take her shopping.
28:37 Then when I went back, I would see some of the women
28:39 wearing her clothes...
28:41 And so I understand and shame on you,
28:44 no, not really but she,
28:47 I found out later after years that when she got raises,
28:50 she was giving it to her workers.
28:52 And so,
28:53 you know, that kind of dedication,
28:54 but here's the thing that's really interesting.
28:56 I wanna talk to the folks at home for a second.
28:59 Sometimes, you know, that you know, that you know,
29:02 the instant I met her there to governor's office.
29:07 Then when we went
29:08 to the Basil Stolyar the conference union president,
29:11 conference president
29:13 and went to his office
29:15 and was having a meeting,
29:16 it's like the Lord told me,
29:18 "You can trust her.
29:19 You can trust her."
29:21 Now I had heard stories and people say,
29:23 what's the big deal about that?
29:25 Again, the temptation, I'd heard stories of pastors,
29:29 that one pastor,
29:30 somebody conference gave him $1100 to take somewhere.
29:33 They never saw him again
29:35 'cause it's $1100 when you make $15 a month,
29:38 tremendous amount of money.
29:40 And so the banks and other people,
29:43 they say it's a different mentality
29:45 because they've always not gotten anything.
29:49 And now here, doors are opening up,
29:50 and you have to be careful,
29:52 just who you trust with your money.
29:55 Right.
29:56 They didn't know about receipts.
29:57 I mean, that seems hard for me to believe.
29:59 But when we put the first amount of money
30:01 about $50,000,
30:03 in the conference safe,
30:05 I said, "Now, it takes two people
30:08 to sign the receipt."
30:10 I said, "John Cantor,
30:12 when he wants the money to spend on supplies,
30:15 he has to sign
30:17 and then you have to sign."
30:18 And he said, "Well, what am I signing?"
30:20 And I said, "Well, it's a receipt."
30:22 And he said, "A receipt?"
30:23 I said, "Yeah, we have to account for the money.
30:26 Take back to the accounting,
30:28 I have to account to the money
30:30 that we've taken out.
30:31 And I'm thinking just like you do here.
30:34 And so he said,
30:35 "Are you gonna have to do that for everybody,
30:37 like people you hire,
30:39 you know, on the job site?"
30:40 And I said, "Well, sure.
30:42 And we need two signatures."
30:43 And he said, "Well, I feel badly for you."
30:46 I said, "Why?"
30:47 And he said, "We don't do things like that."
30:49 And people right now in that condition,
30:51 you're not gonna get these workers sign in anything.
30:53 Everybody is afraid to sign their name to something.
30:56 And so you're not gonna be able to get receipts.
30:59 And so I found that to be true.
31:01 And like for instance, we started construction,
31:05 we rented a truck to bring in sand.
31:07 We wanted to fill up this great big auditorium
31:10 and poured concrete.
31:12 So nice truck came.
31:14 So this truck was coming, guy was driving.
31:16 And so I said to John Cantor, I said,
31:19 "We're gonna need a truck."
31:20 We got this eight acres all this building,
31:22 why don't we see if we can buy one,
31:23 buy it from him?
31:25 So he went and asked the driver,
31:26 he said, "Can we buy the truck?"
31:30 And he said, "Well, is it for sale?"
31:33 He said, "Well, probably
31:34 how much would you give?"
31:36 So John said,
31:37 "They won't know how much you'll give us."
31:39 I say, "Well, it's his truck,
31:40 you know, let him ask him,
31:42 what do you take for it?"
31:43 And the guy said, he come back and said,
31:45 "Well, he said he take $200."
31:47 I said, "For a big truck like that
31:49 that's worth thousands."
31:51 And he said, "He take $200."
31:54 I said, "Well, tell him to give us the title."
31:56 You know, we want us the title and we'll sign it.
31:58 So he talked to him. He said. "He didn't. What's the title?"
32:01 He said, "Oh, he didn't own it.
32:02 He didn't really own the truck."
32:04 That when the government
32:05 had literally communism had fallen,
32:07 they'd left equipment in the fields,
32:09 there was backhoes, trackhoes,
32:10 you know, heavy equipment,
32:12 and people were just get in and start using it
32:14 'cause they didn't really know it was in such disarray,
32:17 maybe hard for people to believe now.
32:19 And even some of the younger Russians
32:21 that didn't experience go through this.
32:23 And so he ended up, you know, saying,
32:26 "Well, here I'll sell you the truck."
32:28 It's not we said, "We'll wait a minute."
32:29 It wasn't even his. Yeah, it wasn't his.
32:31 But I'm saying so,
32:33 here I said how we gonna do this and handle
32:36 but the Lord really impressed me.
32:38 I could trust Julia. Yes.
32:39 And I met her brother
32:41 and I felt like I could trust him.
32:42 Not that he was Adventist Christian.
32:44 He wasn't at that time.
32:46 But I knew he seemed honest.
32:47 Yes.
32:49 And I said, "You know what, that runs in the family."
32:50 I can tell he was sincere when he talked to us.
32:53 He wasn't supportive necessarily of us being there,
32:56 but he was straightforward.
32:57 And I said, "I like him,
32:59 even though I may not agree."
33:00 You can tell he's somebody who is trustworthy.
33:03 And, you know. She's trustworthy.
33:04 Mom is too. My mamushka.
33:09 I just wanna say I love you.
33:12 I love your mom.
33:13 She's just so wonderful, so I just had to say...
33:15 I did too. I love mom, too.
33:17 We love her. She's just so precious.
33:20 And you called her mamushka. Yeah.
33:22 And mom calls Yvonne, "Yvonneshka."
33:24 Yeah. Yvonneshka.
33:26 You know, when you were for our 25th anniversary,
33:28 there at 3ABN Russia.
33:31 And you were so gracious to come and greet my mom.
33:36 She's 91 now.
33:38 So it was a couple of years ago.
33:40 And, you know,
33:42 she came downstairs to greet you
33:44 because it was a huge group of people.
33:46 And she said,
33:47 "I don't know if I want them all in my apartment."
33:49 So I'll just go downstairs to greet them.
33:52 And then, you know, she saw Yvonne
33:54 and there must have been such warmth from Yvonne.
33:57 She just, since then
33:59 she started calling her
34:00 the gentle Russian name, Yvonneshka.
34:03 So she doesn't hear really well.
34:06 And she wouldn't watch a lot of TV.
34:08 But when I see Yvonne on TV singing on 3ABN
34:13 then I just say, "Mom, look, who is this?"
34:15 She says, "Yvonneshka."
34:18 So thank you for being,
34:19 you know, another thing that I want to say about Danny,
34:22 and you, you know,
34:24 you are such loving people,
34:26 Danny, such 27 years
34:29 I have known Danny, he's such a loving person.
34:33 He doesn't see bad in you
34:35 because there is bad
34:36 whenever just you say Christ in me,
34:38 I'm happy that you see Christ in me, not myself.
34:41 And he is loving,
34:44 he has never, he's my boss,
34:46 he has never done a single thing
34:48 that would humiliate me, that would hurt me.
34:53 It has always been only uplifting,
34:56 only encouraging.
34:57 And this makes me want,
34:59 you know, to do more things.
35:01 Because it's not easy to be an administrator,
35:04 it's not easy.
35:05 It's not easy for anyone.
35:06 It's not easy for me.
35:08 There are people and it's not easy to,
35:11 you know, to manage.
35:13 You know, there are different interests,
35:14 there are different ambitions,
35:16 there are sometimes wrong motives.
35:19 And it's hard to manage people.
35:21 But, you know, with Danny,
35:23 I have always been encouraged just to go on.
35:27 You know there have been situations
35:28 when I think, "Can I go on?"
35:30 And then I think I want never to let Danny down.
35:33 Because how can I
35:35 with such an amazing ministry of 3ABN or 3ABN Russia.
35:39 So thank you, Danny, for your love.
35:41 I don't know a single person,
35:44 a single person and being,
35:47 you know, knowing you for 27 years
35:50 I know most or all of your,
35:53 you know, big,
35:54 like they say friends and enemies,
35:56 and supporters and the opposite.
35:59 And I don't know that you hate anyone of them.
36:03 You love them all.
36:04 You love them in the Lord.
36:06 Even if you know they're not lovable,
36:09 you still love them in the Lord.
36:11 Well, we try.
36:12 And we're gonna go to video in a minute.
36:14 But what I wanted to say you notice Julia deflects
36:17 to as you'd say.
36:18 When I'm talking about her nice thing,
36:20 she kind of turns it back to somebody else.
36:23 Yeah, that is you.
36:24 And, well, because we both understand it's not us.
36:27 And as she said she's not perfect.
36:29 I'm not perfect.
36:30 But I wanna say it was your dedication,
36:33 without Julia,
36:35 there would not have been 3ABN Russia.
36:38 Because I knew that I could trust her.
36:42 And so with amounts of money,
36:44 with decisions that she would make
36:47 because John Cantor,
36:49 he didn't know Russian when he went over there,
36:51 he learned pretty quickly,
36:53 but we don't know what to do.
36:54 So we really depended on her to build this huge facility
36:58 and ended up on putting tremendous amounts of money.
37:01 But I mean, evangelism,
37:02 all the work now literally thousands of people
37:05 have found the Lord and joined the SDA Church.
37:09 Amen.
37:10 And continues to be so because of 3ABN Russia.
37:13 So, Julia, we'll talk about that just for a little bit.
37:16 And then you got a video you're gonna show us, right?
37:19 Kind of an update.
37:20 We always look forward to that.
37:22 Yeah, it's been amazing 27 years,
37:25 and I'm so thankful
37:26 that you guys are soon coming to Russia,
37:28 20 people from 3ABN.
37:32 Oh, what a special event
37:36 27 years,
37:38 celebrating 27 years.
37:40 And, you know,
37:43 it is amazing
37:45 what the Lord has been doing at 3ABN Russia in Russia
37:49 through 3ABN during these 27 years.
37:52 You know, you will see it on the video the exact numbers.
37:56 But can you imagine we are speaking about the times
37:58 when you could buy a truck from someone
38:01 that didn't belong to him for $200.
38:03 And, you know, and today we are...
38:06 Russia has satellites.
38:11 Russia has cable companies,
38:13 we didn't have any at that time.
38:15 And, you know,
38:17 and Russia takes 3ABN Russia's productions,
38:20 we are on two Russian satellites.
38:23 Thank you, dear viewers of 3ABN who make it possible,
38:26 it is only due to you.
38:29 And those two satellites, they cover the whole of Russia.
38:32 And we are rebroadcast
38:33 by about I think 170 cable companies 24/7.
38:38 Wow. Isn't that a miracle? It's amazing.
38:40 Yeah, that's amazing.
38:42 And we have over 10,000 programs
38:44 that we have produced in television,
38:46 over 10,000 programs that we have produced
38:50 for radio broadcasting.
38:51 So what the Lord is doing it is amazing.
38:56 And I just,
38:57 you know, once again, I want to come back to that thought,
39:01 you know, the faith.
39:03 Faith has made it possible.
39:05 Yes.
39:06 Because Jesus says several times
39:08 it is written in the gospels
39:09 that He couldn't perform miracles
39:12 because of their unbelief.
39:14 So 3ABN is a miracle.
39:15 3ABN Russia is a miracle.
39:17 And God performed this miracle.
39:19 Miracles not us,
39:21 but Him because of our belief.
39:24 Yes. We allow Him to do this.
39:27 And praise the Lord that,
39:30 you know, it is something very majestic.
39:34 We don't know its significance while we're here,
39:37 we will know its significance in the eternity.
39:40 We will know its scale in the eternity.
39:42 We still don't know it.
39:44 That's right. Amen.
39:46 Well, I'm looking forward to video.
39:47 How about you? Yeah.
39:49 Let's take a look. All right. Let's watch it.
40:16 This slogan, a vow to today's update from Russia
40:19 is let us not limit God.
40:21 Psalm 78 says about the people of old,
40:24 "They limited the Holy One of Israel."
40:27 What did ancient Israel do to limit God?
40:30 Let us read on,
40:31 "They remembered not His hand,
40:33 nor the day when He delivered them
40:35 from the enemy."
40:36 When we remember the Lord's hand,
40:39 how He keeps faithful and powerfully delivering us
40:42 so that His will about the salvation of this world
40:45 is fulfilled through our service to Him,
40:48 then our faith grows and strengthens
40:50 and we don't limit God.
40:52 Our report today is dedicated
40:54 to remembering God's mighty hand
40:56 performing miracles the best 27 years
40:59 during which 3ABN founded and led 3ABN Russia
41:03 to bring the good news of the eternal salvation
41:06 in Jesus Christ
41:07 to 300 million Russian speaking people of the world.
41:10 Almost 35 years ago,
41:12 Danny Shelton accepted the commission from the Lord
41:15 to build a television station
41:17 that would reach the world
41:18 with the undiluted three angels' messages
41:20 of Revelation 14
41:22 that would counteract the counterfeited
41:24 non-biblical teachings.
41:26 Eight years later in 1992,
41:29 very soon after the fall of the Iron Curtain,
41:31 3ABN opened a new page in its history,
41:34 when Pastor John Carter
41:36 to hold an evangelistic program in Nizhny Novgorod.
41:40 We never get tired of praising our Lord
41:42 for the dedication
41:44 of the beautiful American people
41:46 due to her support of the Lord's cause
41:48 through 3ABN and Carter Report,
41:50 over 3500 Russian people accepted the Lord's salvation,
41:55 among which there were many future workers
41:57 of 3ABN Russia,
41:59 including myself.
42:00 It was then the 3ABN purchased an unfinished structure
42:04 with Palace of Culture,
42:05 which belonged to Nizhny Novgorod metallurgical factory
42:08 and turned it into a gem
42:10 of Russia's Evangelistic Outreach,
42:12 called 3ABN Russia Evangelism Center.
42:16 Today it have the 3ABN Russia studios,
42:19 the local meet at the conference,
42:21 the largest church in Nizhny Novgorod,
42:23 a Christian School, a youth center,
42:25 a Christian ABC store,
42:27 a gym, a motel area for the pastors and visitors,
42:30 and much more.
42:32 3ABN Russia studios
42:34 potentially reach the whole Russian speaking world,
42:37 over 144 million people living in Russia
42:41 via two satellites,
42:42 plus a lot of people in the neighboring countries
42:45 that our satellites reach
42:47 and 300 million Russian speaking people
42:49 of the world via the internet.
42:52 Since we reported to you last May,
42:54 we have produced over 800 video programs in 36 years.
42:59 In total during our 27 years,
43:02 we've put more than 10,000 video programs
43:05 in 135 series on the air.
43:08 In November 2018, we celebrated our little anniversary,
43:12 the production of our 10,000th video program.
43:16 And we praise the Lord with all of our hearts
43:19 for the diverse talents
43:20 that He gives to 3ABN Russia for His glorious sake.
43:24 Our radio department also praises the Lord
43:28 for His great miracles.
43:29 Since last May,
43:30 we have made more than 600 radio programs
43:33 and 12 series.
43:34 In total, during 27 years,
43:37 we've had close to 10,000 radio programs
43:40 in more than 100 series.
43:43 The most efficient way to bring our programs
43:45 to the houses of the Russian people
43:47 is satellite broadcasting.
43:49 But praise the Lord
43:50 that due to the dedication
43:52 and sacrificial support of 3ABN viewers,
43:55 we're around the clock on two Russian satellites
43:58 Express AT-1 and Express AT-2.
44:02 Our coverage is a great example by which the Lord testifies
44:06 that we should trust Him,
44:08 nurture our faith and not limit Him.
44:11 At the beginning of 2018,
44:13 we had asked you to join us in prayer
44:16 that by the end of the year,
44:18 the Lord would give us not less than 150
44:21 around the clock re-broadcasters.
44:23 At that time 150 really seemed a lot
44:27 as our number was 101 partners by the end of 2017.
44:33 But now you can see on the screen
44:35 the number of our partners as we speak,
44:38 and the amount of the cities that we cover.
44:41 Isn't it a miracle of God?
44:43 So let us remember God's mighty hand
44:46 as He Himself
44:47 works on the salvation of the people of this planet.
44:51 To promote 3ABN Russia,
44:53 we participate in different events,
44:55 one of which is CSTB Telecom and Mega Convention,
44:59 it takes place in Moscow,
45:01 and in January this year,
45:02 we participated in it for the fifth time.
45:05 This event provides an opportunity
45:07 to present 3ABN Russia
45:09 to the cable operators of our vast country
45:12 and to personally meet with our potential partners.
45:15 The situation in Russia is such that cable companies
45:18 are short of Russian made quality content.
45:21 And here we are for them,
45:23 offering our wonderful programming
45:25 for free.
45:26 Although our little booth
45:27 is surrounded by the giants of television industry,
45:31 we with the faith in God's power,
45:33 actively distribute catalogs, booklets,
45:36 and other presentation materials,
45:38 and in spite of rather common for Russia prejudice
45:41 against Protestantism
45:43 that led constantly attract people to our booth.
45:46 And they see that we are good people
45:48 proclaiming biblical values
45:50 that are great for our society.
45:53 During this last convention,
45:55 we asked the Lord to give us at least as many new contacts
45:59 as the previous year, which had been 59.
46:02 Do not limit Me, He told us once again,
46:05 by giving us 90 new contacts.
46:08 We're actively working with all of them now,
46:11 and are asking you to join us in prayer
46:13 that they become our partners.
46:16 An amazing example
46:17 that God can give us abundantly more than we ask or think
46:21 is one of our cable partners Ufanet.
46:23 When we signed the contract with them,
46:26 their coverage was 26 cities of Russia.
46:29 But very soon after that,
46:30 they started greatly expanding.
46:33 Now due to them,
46:34 there are 77 cities more
46:37 where 3ABN Russia is on around the clock.
46:40 We also work actively
46:42 on the promotion of our programs
46:43 through social media and YouTube,
46:46 where we currently have over 17,000 viewers and subscribers.
46:50 But the devil does not sleep.
46:52 Recently, cable operators had an FCC check
46:55 of all their stations that have contracts with us.
46:59 At first, we got so worried about this.
47:02 But let us never doubt God.
47:04 He's doing His work of salvation,
47:06 and is Himself responsible for it.
47:09 As a result of that check one of those companies
47:12 which rebroadcast our channel without a contract,
47:15 immediately hurried to sign one with us.
47:18 And the rest of the cable operators
47:20 continue successfully working with us,
47:23 we've lost only two,
47:24 but they both were planning for technical reasons
47:27 to cancel our contract even before that check.
47:30 There are so many other amazing things happening
47:34 at 3ABN Russia
47:35 that we would so much want to share with you.
47:39 Very soon, a group from 3ABN is coming to 3ABN Russia
47:43 to celebrate our 27th anniversary.
47:46 Please follow 3ABN broadcast of this event
47:49 to learn even more
47:51 about what the Lord's mighty hand
47:53 is doing in Russia.
47:55 From the bottom of our hearts
47:57 and on behalf of the Russian people,
48:00 we thank you,
48:01 dear viewers and supporters of 3ABN.
48:04 Thank you for your faith, dedication and sacrifice.
48:08 Thank you for ever remembering God's mighty hand
48:12 for not limiting Him
48:13 as He keeps performing His miracle
48:16 of saving the perishing souls around the world.
48:20 Thank you for joining hands with Him
48:23 and one another is our beautiful Lord
48:26 at these end times
48:28 through the dedicated ministry of 3ABN
48:31 writes new pages
48:33 in His majestic story of the earth's salvation.
48:40 Wow! Amen.
48:41 Look at what God has done.
48:43 You know, when you see the picture of the facility
48:47 when it was just being
48:49 when it was just looked at and discovered.
48:51 Yeah. And look at it now.
48:53 It's just incredible.
48:54 And then when you see
48:56 where God has taken 3ABN Russia,
48:58 all over Russia.
49:01 I mean, God is, He's reaching,
49:03 He cares about and is reaching people
49:06 around the world.
49:08 And it's just,
49:09 it's amazing to me what He's done.
49:11 What I like to do,
49:12 we only have a few more minutes left
49:14 is I wanna ask you to think about,
49:16 maybe pray about it and ask the Lord
49:17 what He would have you to do,
49:19 and help with the Russian work.
49:22 Actually, the satellite
49:24 is about what 9,000 now a month.
49:25 Yes.
49:27 And for quite a while we had somebody
49:28 who was paying that.
49:29 And now we don't,
49:31 so we need that extra help for $9,000 a month.
49:35 But because of that,
49:36 on those satellites as well,
49:37 these hundreds of cable stations
49:39 around literally all the Ex-Soviet Union,
49:42 and all the different ways that people can receive us
49:46 from those satellites.
49:47 And so it's very important that we keep those going.
49:50 And then, of course, every month and in Russia,
49:54 the folks still aren't in a position
49:56 where they can give enough
49:57 to support this entire work.
49:59 But what a blessing, you and me can help
50:01 and so, that's amazing to us,
50:03 Julia, and we thank you for the opportunity
50:06 to be a helped us so much
50:08 for so little is done in Russia and your crew is amazing.
50:12 Our crew goes over and says,
50:14 you know, you bring people to learn from us
50:16 and ours is like I think we can learn from them.
50:18 You know, they do so much with so little,
50:21 absolutely incredible work that you all are doing.
50:24 But I want to ask you to think about it and pray about it.
50:26 Say Lord, what would You have me to do?
50:28 And if you,
50:29 any offering that you give, if it's for Russia,
50:31 you can put Russia or Russian satellite,
50:33 whatever you wanna do, we'll know where it's going,
50:36 we will give you a gift.
50:37 Now we have some of the little Matryoshka,
50:40 the very small little key chain dolls,
50:42 but we don't have very many.
50:43 So the first 50 or so
50:45 that sends a donation of any size,
50:46 we'll send those,
50:48 we're going to Russia here in July when we come back.
50:50 If you want one of those,
50:51 and you've given, we can other,
50:52 but we have some other little gifts for you
50:55 that we want you to be a part of this.
50:58 And to say, we wanna say thank you
51:00 for what you're doing
51:02 for the cause of God in Russia
51:04 because the field is still wide unto harvest,
51:07 the workers, where are we?
51:09 Where are they? That's right.
51:10 And so right now we have an opportunity to join hands
51:13 with Julia, and our Russian brothers and sisters
51:15 to make it continue to make a difference
51:18 and see thousands and thousands of lives
51:21 that are being changed for eternity.
51:22 Yes.
51:24 And for such a small amount of money.
51:25 That's right.
51:26 I mean, Russia is maybe the greatest investment
51:28 in people, you hate to say investment
51:30 but maybe the greatest investment
51:32 we've ever had when it comes to putting your money
51:35 to see the results of souls
51:37 coming to the kingdom of God.
51:39 So what we're gonna do?
51:40 We're gonna put up an address role
51:42 here in just a moment.
51:43 So you think about it, you pray about it.
51:45 And whatever the Lord lays on your heart,
51:47 you send for Russia.
51:48 And then right after that, we'll go to news break.
51:51 We'll be back for closing thought.
51:55 Thank you for helping 3ABN Russia
51:57 reach millions of viewers
51:59 throughout the former Soviet Union countries
