00:10 Hello and welcome back to 3ABN Behind the Scenes.
00:13 We are so very glad that you have joined us here for the 00:15 second hour. 00:19 programs. 00:19 I know it doesn't. 00:20 I mean 60 minutes is 60 minutes. 00:21 But still we're talking about evangelism and that always 00:24 seems to go by in a hurry. 00:26 And I love the 3ABN Behind the Scenes program because that's 00:29 what it's all about, about what the ministry of 3ABN is doing 00:32 around the world and it's all about evangelism. 00:35 And again we say thank you for your continued prayers and your 00:39 financial, faithful, financial support of your ministry, God's 00:44 ministry, 3ABN. 00:46 Because without you we would not be able to reach the entire 00:48 world. 00:52 feedback, especially social media now more and more about 00:54 how 3ABN is reaching so many different parts of the world 00:58 and how 3ABN is impacting them. 01:01 And what's amazing to me is just the power of searching 01:04 online, right? 01:06 I mean even like if I'm trying to fix something at the house, 01:08 let's say something broke at the house, I'll just put it 01:10 into Google and say, how do you fix such and such and it comes 01:13 up with something. 01:14 Well, people are doing the same thing spiritually. 01:16 What's happening at times? 01:18 What happens when I die? 01:20 And what is so powerful about that is that 3ABN is 01:23 recommended as the research result for so many of these 01:26 topics and that's how people find out about 3ABN. 01:29 So we're going to be talking about even that this evening 01:31 but I'm excited about this hour and it's packed full. 01:34 Amen, you know people used to flip a channel and find 3EBN, 01:37 and they can still do that in so many communities. 01:40 But now people go online and they search because that's 01:43 where people are looking for answers because we think Google 01:45 knows everything, and that's not necessarily true, the Lord 01:49 knows everything. 01:50 The Word of God. 01:52 And so we have the opportunity to be available at people's 01:56 fingertips when they're searching for truth. 01:58 So we have a power-packed second hour with roles and 02:03 videos and testimonies and ways So you can partner 02:06 evangelistically with the ministry of 3EBN coming around 02:09 the circle here at the island, our family, Pastor John Denzi 02:13 and Mrs. Adalia Denzi, I was calling you Mrs. Denzi. 02:16 So glad you both are here tonight. 02:17 Welcome, welcome. 02:18 Thank you. 02:19 Thank you for the invitation. 02:21 And we're going to be talking about some of your travels too. 02:23 I know not right at this moment, but you all have been 02:25 to many parts of the world in like a matter of three, four 02:28 weeks. 02:28 So yeah, exciting updates. 02:30 We're going to get updates from Costa Rica and Cuba and 02:33 Honduras and I don't know where else, but at least those three 02:36 places. 02:37 Praise the Lord. 02:38 Praise the Lord. 02:40 Coming around the circle here, we have Jeff Dorr and his 02:42 beautiful wife, Charlotte, is not here tonight, but she's an 02:46 integral part of the ministry here too. 02:47 Jeff, of course, is our plan -giving and trust services 02:51 director and we're so glad you're here tonight. 02:54 It's a privilege to be here to serve the Lord, absolutely. 02:58 Coming around the table, we have Ricky Carter and his 03:01 beautiful wife, Jasmine, and Ricky, of course, is social 03:05 media manager. 03:07 That's a newer hat I guess we could say you're wearing in 03:10 addition to working dare to dream with like video graphics 03:13 and editing and all the other stuff you do. 03:16 And Jasmine is Rubian's marketing manager and have you 03:19 been here a year yet or not? 03:20 Yes, just over a year. 03:21 Wow. 03:22 A year and a few days. 03:24 It's amazing. 03:25 You're doing a great job. 03:26 God handpicked you to be here at such a time as this. 03:29 So thank you for the work that all of you are doing. 03:31 Praise God. 03:34 You all have been here like 30 some years almost from the very 03:37 beginning and all of us in between. 03:39 So it's just neat how God brings us together at such a 03:43 moment. 03:44 And 3ABN is in existence for such a moment as this in 03:50 earth's history. 03:50 So praise the Lord. 03:52 And we also think about you at home too because you are here 03:54 on this earth for such a time as this. 03:57 So we all have work to do in your local communities, your 04:01 local church, where you work with your families. 04:03 There is a work for you to do no matter your age, no matter 04:05 physically, how you may be limited. 04:07 God has a work and a great plan for you. 04:10 So take encouragement this evening. 04:13 Well, starting right off, let's talk about 3ABN School of 04:16 Discipleship. 04:18 We have had two schools so far. 04:20 They're in intensive training, you could say, a week to 10 04:24 days long. 04:28 the Bible and apologetics and evangelism and great 04:33 controversy. 04:34 And I'm not sure what else. 04:35 We'll talk more about that health. 04:38 Absolutely. 04:39 So our next school of discipleship, it's in person. 04:42 That means you have to come here and in order to come here, 04:45 you have to register. 04:46 So there's a lot of details pertaining to that. 04:49 Let's maybe play the video clip for that and we'll come out. 04:53 I know Mrs. Denzi went to a school of discipleship. 04:55 The first one, I did. 04:57 And Jasmine went to the second one. 04:58 So we'll hear from both of you as far as your experience. 05:00 But let's go to that video clip right now. 05:10 I can only say that the school of discipleship has been 05:14 spiritual transformation. 05:16 I believe that all the courses, all the activities, just 05:19 meeting the amazing people that come to this program has been 05:23 transformative for my spiritual life. 05:25 If you're on the fence, just jump over the fence and come on 05:28 over. 05:31 It is an incredible experience. 05:32 It is an incredible blessing to just have this and it's going 05:36 to be even more of a blessing to share. 05:38 Make the choice to come. 05:40 You might not even know what you're looking for, but God has 05:44 a divine appointment for you here. 05:46 You're going to come back strengthened. 05:49 You're going to come back a little wiser because your focus 05:52 will have been on Jesus the entire week. 05:55 This is where disciples are truly made. 06:05 Amen. 06:08 and Pastor James Rafferty and Ian Van der Valk and the rest 06:12 of the team, the instructors and all those, the food and 06:14 everything. 06:15 But what a great experience. 06:17 The next one, Jill, we should mention that July 5 through 14. 06:22 That's right. 06:22 And it's limited. 06:23 That's one of the things. 06:28 discipled yourself. 06:29 But there's a lot of one on one interactions. 06:32 So we don't allow a lot of people to come. 06:35 We usually cap it at about 40 or so students. 06:38 So it's a first come, kind of first serve. 06:40 But there's an application process and all that. 06:42 So you need to apply. 06:44 And the way to do that is to go to 3ABNSAWED.com. 06:48 It's right there on the screen, 3ABNSAWED.com. 06:50 And I know if the team were here, Ryan or Ian or Pastor 06:54 James, they would see, say, what? 06:56 Read the handbook. 06:58 That provides all the information. 07:01 So I think I said that right. 07:02 So the handbook is right there at 3ABNSAWED.com. 07:05 Go there, read that. 07:06 The dates are there, all the pertinent information. 07:08 So we look forward to seeing you July 5th through the 14th, 07:13 right here at 3ABN. 07:15 And both of you attended, like Jill said. 07:17 What were your thoughts, Mrs. Denzi, on the school of 07:19 discipleship? 07:23 It was the first one. 07:25 So to me, it would be the best class in history of SAWED. 07:30 And you would think that as an employee, you know, what am I 07:35 doing there? 07:36 Well, even employees working in ministry, it's nice to take 07:40 time out from your everyday obligations and all. 07:44 But when do we really set time aside to really soak in the 07:49 Word? 07:53 suggestions as to how to do soul winning, soul searching, 07:59 and edifying spiritually. 08:01 So I praise the Lord that I had that one week, and I wish I 08:06 could keep being at, I would say, it's like being at the 08:11 feet of Jesus, just listening to the Word and the 08:14 explanations, the foundation, our roots, and just a greater 08:18 understanding. 08:19 So it's the best investment. 08:21 I want to thank administration for allowing me to be part of 08:26 that class. 08:26 Thank you for going. 08:27 The best class. 08:29 We'll go to Jasmine here. 08:31 We opened it up just so clarification. 08:33 We allow a couple of 3B employees to go through every 08:36 school. 08:39 space. 08:42 too. 08:43 Adalia was part of the 3B employees for the first class, 08:47 and Jasmine wanted to go the second. 08:48 So what was your experience? 08:49 The second, I believe, was the best ever. 08:56 We're continually improving, right? 08:59 It was life changing for me. 09:01 It was memorable. 09:02 I went because I wanted to learn more and learn how to 09:04 witness. 09:09 learned a lot, and there's a lot more growth in my spiritual 09:12 walks. 09:13 I enjoy the prayer sessions in the mornings. 09:16 It's 6 a.m. 09:17 Those were great. 09:19 And also, one of the most memorable things for me was the 09:23 Defend Your Fate session. 09:25 And what's that like? 09:26 We were in themes of maybe six groups of seven, and we were 09:30 given a topic, for example, a topic on health, what happens 09:33 when you die, secret rapture, change of the Sabbath. 09:37 And we had to sit on the hot seat with Ryan and Dakota. 09:43 They were testing us. 09:44 They were like the Sunday Church folks, and they were 09:48 really tough. 09:50 I'm coming back with some questions. 09:52 I'm like, hey, so make this plain. 09:53 I don't quite understand this aspect of the scripture. 09:55 So why do you say this? 09:56 Yeah, that's great. 09:58 That's great. 09:58 I think I'm going to have to sign up. 10:02 You didn't have that in the first session. 10:03 We didn't have that in the first session. 10:05 I mean, we're still the best in history. 10:07 But you know what? 10:08 I also enjoyed it, and I'm sorry to jump in like this. 10:11 You're fine. 10:12 I really enjoyed the testimonies of all the visitors 10:15 that came. 10:24 or processed foods as possible. 10:26 And there were even testimonies as far as some of the guests 10:30 had sugar issues or blood pressure issues. 10:33 There was none by the end of the week. 10:35 And they were just very thankful for that as well. 10:41 Making connections and networking was great as well. 10:44 So I enjoyed it and I just didn't want it to end. 10:49 It is an intensive for sure. 10:51 A lot of people say it's like drinking from a fire hydrant, 10:53 but that's all right. 10:58 So again, the next one is July 5th through 14th. 11:00 You can go to 3abnsaud.com for all of the pertinent 11:04 information. 11:05 So we encourage you to go to that. 11:07 We had some young people at the last one as well. 11:10 And yeah, it's just great experience. 11:12 I think we have a photo, I think, of the graduating 11:14 classes will be Jasmine's class. 11:16 I think the second class, there it is. 11:19 So 3abn School of Discipleship. 11:20 You can see all the students who attended this last one. 11:23 And then the instructors, I think, are on the back row. 11:25 It's hard to see everybody there, but praise the Lord for 11:28 people wanting to be discipled and then to go out and make 11:31 other disciples. 11:32 So that's a tremendous blessing. 11:34 You know, I think we could probably go and talk about the 11:35 eclipse. 11:38 probably transition over to social media because this 11:40 eclipse event, Ricky, you know, we kind of streamed on. 11:42 And we tried this on 3abn social media platforms. 11:45 But we had a total solar eclipse right here at 3abn and 11:49 it lasted for like, was it a little over four minutes. 11:53 And it was amazing. 11:54 I know we've got, I think, some photos of that, just some of 11:56 what we took here at 3abn. 11:59 And we appreciate Andrews University. 12:00 You can see their bus there. 12:02 They brought down a lot of students. 12:03 Was it their physics class? 12:04 Physics department. 12:05 Yes, and they provided a lot of neat devices like that. 12:08 That's it. 12:10 there without hurting your eyes. 12:12 Dr. Mattingly is the chair of the department there. 12:14 There's our team there that was working on preparing for the 12:17 social media live event that took place. 12:20 And yeah, that's in the... 12:21 There's your mom and dad. 12:22 That's my mom and dad. 12:23 We just kind of grabbed them and said, hey, come on over. 12:25 What do you think of the experience? 12:26 And this is as the eclipse is starting to take place right 12:29 there. 12:30 Look at that. 12:31 That's when it was complete. 12:32 And that's at two o'clock in the afternoon. 12:36 360 sunset, you know, no matter which direction you look, 12:38 north, south, east, west, you get that sunset. 12:40 I like that photo right there. 12:41 If we stay on that for just a minute, you see that, you see 12:44 the eclipse taking place. 12:45 But then you see, I guess it's a planet there, that little 12:47 star that I'm calling it a star that came out. 12:49 And here you are at two o'clock in the afternoon. 12:51 Just really, really amazing. 12:54 And it's really neat too what the church did, the local 12:57 church and other churches too. 12:58 They took advantage in a good way. 12:59 If they passed out the great controversy, you were part of 13:02 that too, Rick. 13:05 And I'm right now, this is a program. 13:07 What was the title on that? 13:08 When light and darkness collide. 13:10 Yes, with a great graphic on the front. 13:12 And those were passed out. 13:13 I think it was at 35,000 or 40 ,000 in our local community. 13:17 And so that was taking place because so many people came to 13:20 this area because it was totality for such a long period 13:23 of time. 13:28 forecasting springtime here, a lot of clouds in southern 13:31 Illinois usually. 13:32 And this ended up being just perfect weather. 13:36 It was clear. 13:37 You could see the eclipse. 13:38 I know. 13:39 It wasn't that amazing. 13:40 So a great witnessing opportunity. 13:42 But not only that, 3ABN did the social media live stream. 13:45 Jill and I did that. 13:46 Go ahead. 13:49 simultaneous live stream across 3ABN's YouTube account, 3ABN's 13:54 Facebook, 3ABN's Instagram, and 3ABN Latino's Facebook account. 13:59 So that would be four of our social media streams all at 14:02 once doing that. 14:06 called in that morning and they said, well, we're not sure on 14:08 secular television all this coverage, but we want our 14:11 children watching something Christian. 14:13 We're going to tune into 3ABN. 14:15 And we want to be able to watch that. 14:17 So I know people joined in from all over the world to watch 14:19 that here. 14:23 to YouTube and see the eclipse. 14:24 If you missed seeing what totality was like here, is it 14:28 there on YouTube? 14:28 I believe it is. 14:30 You go under the live section. 14:32 Okay, on YouTube? 14:33 On YouTube. 14:34 I could actually show them that. 14:35 This is the really neat thing of our technology and the crew. 14:38 I appreciate this. 14:41 Can we put that up there? 14:42 So we're looking at your iPad. 14:45 So when you're here on YouTube channel, if you go over to the 14:48 live section right there, there's a video out there and 14:51 you can just play it and then start watching some of it. 14:54 It's probably, I don't know if it's going to play. 14:55 Okay, there we go. 14:56 Yeah, I see it playing right there. 14:57 You have it at pause. 14:58 So, yeah. 15:00 And again, we have to say thank you to Andrews University 15:02 because we're able to get a live feed from one of their 15:04 telescopes and we're able to put that on the live stream and 15:08 you can actually see the eclipse taking place. 15:10 So thanks again to Andrews University. 15:14 But transitioning then Ricky, so tell us about social media 15:16 and what's taking place. 15:17 Exciting things are happening. 15:18 Yes, yes. 15:19 So start off, since you mentioned social media, you 15:22 know, our viewers, they can follow us on Facebook. 15:25 Okay. 15:30 formerly known as Twitter. 15:32 And then our viewers can be encouraged after they're on 15:37 looking at some of our content there. 15:38 They can then share it with someone else. 15:41 And if you go to my iPad here, just give you an example of how 15:45 you can actually share a post on Facebook. 15:48 So here I'm scrolling down. 15:50 Here's a post here. 15:51 It says, is smoking or using drugs a sin? 15:55 So there's a link right here you can click on. 15:57 Takes you right to our 3ABNanswers.com There you can 16:05 see the answer right there. 16:08 And there's other ways that you can, other posts that are on 16:11 there, but then you can share that. 16:13 I can go right here and then go to the feed and then just say, 16:19 what do you all think? 16:23 So you're watching a live screenshot here of Ricky's 16:26 iPad. 16:26 Literally, yeah. 16:28 And then, boom, I just posted it there to my feed. 16:31 Just like that. 16:32 That's easy. 16:34 Yeah, so that's one of the ways that you can share from 16:36 Facebook. 16:37 Ricky, that's evangelism. 16:39 That is evangelism. 16:41 Through social media. 16:43 So for those of you who could be a little shy of witnessing, 16:48 here's one way that you can witness. 16:49 You can witness on social media, using social media. 16:53 If we go back here to the iPad, if you're on YouTube, let's say 16:58 here's one of the videos here that we did with Pastor 17:01 Lomakane. 17:02 Well, I can now share that, go to my text message and let's 17:06 just type in test text. 17:09 A little site right there. 17:11 Share that text, texting that to someone. 17:14 So there's another way that I can be witnessing via social 17:18 media. 17:20 All right. 17:21 And so you can find content, live feeds on there, on our 17:26 social media platform. 17:28 Savva School panel, some of the content that you can see on 17:31 there. 17:35 are there. 17:36 Scripture. 17:37 There's also shorts. 17:38 We have some video shorts. 17:40 Matter of fact, we've got, we're starting to do more and 17:44 more shorts or YouTube shorts. 17:46 Explain what that is because some people might think that's 17:48 an article of clothing. 17:50 So what is that? 17:52 So what I'll do is I'll take one of our programs, find a 17:57 really interesting segment and I'll cut it down, find the most 18:04 interesting part. 18:06 Then I'll add some words to it, some animated words to it, to 18:09 the screen. 18:13 Facebook site. 18:15 And matter of fact, I have an example of that, one of our 18:17 shorts. 18:20 Okay. 18:21 Without something interrupting this vicious cycle. 18:24 The world cannot continue with violence, earthquakes, flood, 18:30 political uncertainty, demise. 18:33 The list goes on and on. 18:35 Falling economies, rising suspicion about the future of 18:39 our political economy in our world. 18:41 All these issues are swirling around our minds day by day and 18:45 they're just indicating that there's something on the 18:47 horizon. 18:48 The final production is on its way. 18:51 And when you think about how long this production has been 18:54 in development for more than 6 ,000 years, ever since the fall 18:58 in the Garden of Eden, ever since our first parents turned 19:01 their backs on God's favor, Adam and Eve, the production 19:05 has been underway. 19:11 So that's a... 19:11 Incredible. 19:12 That's a YouTube short. 19:14 Okay. 19:18 calls them Reels. 19:19 Okay. 19:22 So basically you said, then you're taking like, let's say, 19:25 a half hour, one hour sermon. 19:27 And that was what? 19:28 Was that 60 seconds or maybe more than... 19:29 51 seconds. 19:30 51 seconds. 19:31 Okay. 19:32 So why is that something we even are focusing on? 19:35 It's because it's a trend, right? 19:36 That we're seeing out there and we're using it for the Lord. 19:38 Peak interest. 19:39 Peak interest. 19:40 And when you're on YouTube, for example, here, if you can see 19:45 my screen, there's a way that if the viewer is interested 19:49 when they're watching the short, they can click on a link 19:52 right below the... 19:53 Scroll it up a little bit. 19:55 Maybe they can't see it here, but there's a link that's on 19:57 there that you can click on that will take you to the 19:59 original content. 20:00 The one hour sermon. 20:01 One hour. 20:03 So that's good to know to let people know about that. 20:05 Yes, it is. 20:06 Now, for sake of time, I want to transition to another thing 20:10 that we're doing the Facebook ads. 20:12 Can we talk about that? 20:13 Yeah. 20:14 Yeah. 20:14 Great. 20:15 All right. 20:19 Well, people have been sponsoring Facebook ads and 20:22 we've got five different ads and there's one that's on 20:26 talking about focusing on 3ABN Plus, plus app. 20:29 There's one that we have on a biblical focus ad. 20:31 There's another one that's on made for health. 20:34 So we're having these different ads that we want people to be 20:36 able to sponsor on Facebook to be able to have... 20:41 Get 3ABN known out to the world. 20:44 Yeah. 20:44 That's great. 20:49 metropolitan areas. 20:50 Or across the US and different countries. 20:53 As a matter of fact, we've got some... 20:54 A sample, two samples of our Facebook ads. 20:57 We can take a look at those right now. 20:58 Are you concerned about what's happening in our world today? 21:02 Discover the truth in Daniel and Revelation. 21:05 Learn about salvation through Jesus Christ and explore a wide 21:09 range of biblically sound teachings. 21:12 3ABN is dedicated to creating spiritually enriching content 21:16 designed to foster spiritual growth and its dedicated 21:20 viewers. 21:21 3ABN programs are also a great resource for those looking to 21:24 take their faith journey even further. 21:27 Or just discovering 3ABN for the first time. 21:30 Here are a few samples. 21:32 The wages of sin is what? 21:33 Death. 21:39 death but the second death. 21:41 Yes. 21:44 is eternal life. 21:46 And as we trace eternal covenant of redemption from 21:51 Genesis to Revelation you will gain a more intimate 21:55 understanding of God's amazing self-sacrificing love. 22:00 This is such a beautiful picture of our Savior and of 22:03 the gospel of Jesus Christ because the gospel comes to us 22:06 not to condemn us but to save us. 22:09 Jesus Christ came not to condemn the world but that the 22:11 world through him might be saved. 22:14 3ABN is the perfect destination for Bible truths that you can 22:18 trust. 22:19 Download the 3ABN Plus app on your smart device and

however all these algorithms work on the back end 26:45 of all these social media platforms, it could then kind 26:49 of send them this ad just to see what they think of it. 26:51 Is that how that

27:38 is just to call 3ABN. 27:39 That's right. 27:39 Absolutely. 27:40 Give us a call. 27:41 618-627-4651. 27:44 We'd love to answer your questions pertaining to that or 27:47 take your donations so that this gospel can continue going 27:50 forward to the world. 27:52 Or you can always write us or go online at 3ABN.TV. 27:55 So there's many ways we want to connect with you. 27:59 All right. 28:00 What should we go to next? 28:01 A lot here we were talking about. 28:03 There is indeed. 28:04 Jeff, let's switch gears a minute and talk about plan 28:07 giving and trust services. 28:09 Well, we have been very busy as well this past year. 28:12 And we've had a good addition to our team. 28:15 Tracy Reddeneier, she has completed the trust officer 28:19 training. 28:19 Good for her. 28:23 officer and a part of our team. 28:25 And she has been working on the account review. 28:28 So if you receive an account review in the mail and you 28:31 haven't completed it yet, please take the five minutes 28:34 and complete that form and send it back because it is very 28:37 important so that we can keep current and accurate 28:40 information, contact information from our viewers in 28:43 our files. 28:44 So if you haven't and if you haven't and don't turn it in, 28:48 you'll be getting a phone call from Tracy. 28:49 And she has a very powerful and lively voice and wonderful to 28:55 talk to on the phone. 28:56 So if you don't fill it out, you'll be getting a call from 28:58 Tracy. 28:59 A couple other things that I'd like to just talk about for a 29:03 few minutes. 29:04 My wife and I have been traveling around the United 29:06 States this past year visiting clients. 29:09 We have been also settling up some trust where some of our 29:12 clients have went to sleep in Jesus and settling those. 29:15 We just got back from California about a month ago 29:19 and visiting with a few real just precious souls that love 29:23 3ABN and want to take and be a part of the 3ABN ministry by 29:27 donating their property or their resources. 29:31 And then we took and participated in a conference at 29:34 Loma Linda while we were out there. 29:36 So we had a wonderful time out there. 29:38 Something that if you haven't done a document with 3ABN or 29:41 anybody else, I'd encourage everyone to consider putting 29:45 3ABN as a beneficiary on any of your documents that needs a 29:50 beneficiary. 29:51 Just a small percentage. 29:53 So if you have a life insurance policy, an IRA, anything that 29:56 has a beneficiary designation, you can do that. 30:00 You don't have to contact 3ABN. 30:02 It's in the privacy of your own family, your own self. 30:05 So you can do that. 30:07 Then whenever you go to sleep in Jesus, there is nothing. 30:10 It's a smooth transition. 30:13 And all of a sudden 3ABN receives a check to help 30:15 proclaim the gospel message. 30:17 And we receive these checks on a regular basis from precious 30:20 souls that have been so generous to include 3ABN. 30:25 Because the Lord wants us to be good stewards of our time, 30:27 talents, testimonies, of our funds now as we take and leave 30:32 this earth. 30:34 He's blessed us with all this and we should take and return 30:37 the blessing that are passing. 30:39 Only 32% of American adults have some form of estate plan. 30:45 That's it. 30:45 That's it. 30:46 32%. 30:47 And that is declining. 30:49 So with that, we would encourage you to take and talk 30:53 with your own legal counsel, if you'd like to take and talk 30:56 with 3ABN. 31:01 at 3ABN. 31:02 And we have two camp meetings a year and that we have workshops 31:05 at. 31:09 interactive workshop. 31:11 We'll take and answer your questions. 31:12 We'll tell you what 3ABN can offer and how we can assist you 31:16 through estate planning, plan giving. 31:19 So you have the option of coming and being here in person 31:22 in the summer and in the fall at the camp meetings or call us 31:26 anytime. 31:27 We're always here at 800-886 -4800. 31:30 Let's say that number one more time. 31:33 800-886-4800. 31:36 So you can give us a call. 31:37 That phone rings directly into our office and Nancy, Tracy or 31:41 I will take and be there and to answer those questions for you. 31:44 You know, Jeff, I was just going to comment on that 31:46 because that's just really good because people don't have to be 31:48 worried about calling up because we don't believe in any 31:50 type of high pressure. 31:51 You know, we consider you family. 31:54 You're a partner, which you are. 31:56 You're a partner, but it's not like you can. 31:58 You've got to do documents with 3ABN. 32:00 If you have any question pertaining to that, Jeff or the 32:02 staff be happy to talk to you like he was just mentioning it. 32:04 You've already got some documents that may be already 32:06 written to your like local attorney or whatever. 32:09 How do I actually make it, you know, as far as the beneficiary 32:11 aspect of things and they can talk to you about that. 32:13 So we're happy to talk to you here at 3ABN. 32:16 Please understand that you are part of the family. 32:19 We love you. 32:19 We know you love the ministry of 3ABN. 32:22 And so just call our departments like Jill was 32:24 talking and call the call center this evening or like 32:26 Jeff's department. 32:29 have pertained to plan, given especially for you. 32:31 Absolutely. 32:34 from Idaho. 32:39 then they took and removed their property and the trust 32:42 went dry. 32:45 into assisted living and he was out there to help them 32:48 transition. 32:53 we could do and help in the situation. 32:55 And I suggested they went to the Idaho Conference to get 32:58 their documents updated there. 33:01 And then he was concerned about how is mom and dad's rent at 33:05 the living facility going to be paid. 33:07 I said, well, they already have an account here at 3ABN. 33:10 When they sell their home, they can take that funds, put it in 33:13 their account here at 3ABN. 33:15 We will get in contact with the facility. 33:17 They'll send us the monthly bill. 33:20 We'll send the payment to the facility. 33:22 So the family does not have to worry about any of the 33:25 financial transaction back and forth for mom and dad's care. 33:29 So that's a blessing. 33:30 I mean, that's a service that 3ABN offers. 33:33 A tremendous service that we offer. 33:36 And then we have two reasons people do not have an estate 33:41 plan is procrastination. 33:43 And we're all procrastinators. 33:45 I mean, that's just human nature. 33:46 32 percent, right? 33:48 It's all that have documents. 33:49 Yes, only a third. 33:51 A third. 33:52 And the other is expense. 33:54 3ABN pays the expense if you take and set up a document 33:56 here. 33:57 And that's another tremendous blessing. 34:01 So what about, I think, isn't there annuity C.G.A.? 34:04 You were going to talk to a little about that. 34:06 If you are 65 years old or older, you can take and create 34:11 a charitable gift annuity with 3ABN. 34:14 And the rates are better than they've been in years. 34:18 So if you are interested in those, I'll just give you a 34:21 couple of examples. 34:22 If you're 65, it's a 5.7 percent interest rate for the 34:26 rest of your life. 34:28 So the interest rate is guaranteed. 34:29 Locked in. 34:30 Locked in. 34:30 That is as of the date of this program. 34:32 Correct. 34:33 Yes. 34:38 Wow. 34:39 Yes. 34:43 So if you're at home and you're 90 years old and you've got 34:47 some money that you'd like to put in a charitable gift 34:49 annuity, give us a call here at 3ABN. 34:53 And right now, you could get 10 .1 percent interest on your 34:57 investment for the rest of your life. 34:59 And the charitable gift annuity is irrevocable. 35:01 It is irrevocable. 35:02 We want to be clear about that. 35:03 Once you make that decision, it's not like you can change 35:05 that decision. 35:06 It's irrevocable. 35:07 That's absolutely correct. 35:08 That's not your emergency fund. 35:09 Right. 35:10 That is irrevocable. 35:11 That is a document that is written in stone. 35:14 Wow. 35:19 is less than one percent. 35:20 I know, right? 35:21 It sounds great. 35:22 It is. 35:23 Yes, it is amazing. 35:25 And the last thing that I'll just touch on is appreciated 35:29 property, whether that is real estate or stocks. 35:33 If you have something that's highly appreciated and you want 35:37 to take and not pay the taxes that you would if you was going 35:41 to sell it and have capital gains, you can create a crud. 35:45 It is then invested tax free. 35:49 It grows tax free. 35:51 And you get a payment off of that for basically a 20 years 35:55 is normally how they're set up and basically a 5% return. 35:59 So you can take and if you've got a piece of property that's 36:02 increased $200,000 in value, you don't have to pay capital 36:06 gains on that $200,000. 36:07 It all gets invested and you get to take and draw your 36:11 interest off of that for 20 year period and that principal 36:15 grows tax free. 36:18 And is that one irrevocable as well? 36:20 It is irrevocable as well. 36:22 But we've talked about a lot of things but really they need to 36:23 call that number, Jeff. 36:24 What's that number again? 36:25 Talk to you and your staff. 36:26 800-886-4800. 36:30 That's great. 36:30 Yeah, that's a good number to memorize. 36:32 So is this soul as you're getting interest, you're also 36:36 3B and also benefits in the preaching of the gospel in this 36:38 state. 36:39 Absolutely. 36:45 money and it is a tremendous amount and it is a tremendous 36:50 blessing. 36:51 So it's really a win-win for the person creating the crud as 36:55 well as 3ABN. 36:56 So if you want to partner with 3ABN, be an evangelist there at 37:00 home through your finances. 37:02 These are wonderful ways that they can do that. 37:07 Speaking of evangelism, Jasmine, let's talk about 37:10 there's many things but what about 3ABN ambassadors? 37:12 Let's start with that. 37:13 We're looking for ambassadors in every church. 37:16 So what's that about? 37:16 We are. 37:21 and preach the gospel to every creature. 37:22 And 3ABN has been doing a fantastic job for almost 40 37:25 years. 37:25 That's right. 37:29 urgent need to get the gospel and the three angels messages 37:32 out on a massive scale. 37:34 So we need the help of our church members and that's why 37:38 we are inviting them to partner the 3ABN Ambassador Program. 37:42 So what is an ambassador? 37:45 An ambassador is someone who is a Christian, Adventist, who 37:48 loves the Lord, who has a burden for souls and they want 37:51 to be the contact between 3ABN and the church. 37:55 What will an ambassador do? 37:57 They'll assist in getting 3ABN into local prisons. 38:00 Sometimes it's just a connection when you just give 38:02 us the decision-makers contact information, getting 3ABN into 38:06 retirement homes and hospitals, getting 3ABN on cable, their 38:11 local cable network and introducing 3ABN's life 38:15 -changing programs and resources of their church and 38:19 their local community. 38:20 And I'd like to talk about one of our ambassadors who is doing 38:23 that in Kingston, Jamaica. 38:24 We'll bring up a picture here. 38:27 Ricky and I had the pledge for visiting Kencott in December. 38:32 So we'll look at the first picture. 38:33 Wow, great. 38:35 Yeah, it's nice. 38:35 This is the church. 38:39 thousand members. 38:41 And the next picture is a picture with our ambassador, 38:44 Teresa. 38:46 I'll talk more about her in a minute. 38:48 The next picture is Elder Wallace, who was happy to 38:51 receive another resource, 3ABN Bible Studies. 38:55 First time they're seeing it there. 38:57 And then we have Sister Karen, who was delighted to win one of 39:03 those books, Words of Hope and Comfort. 39:05 We played a 3ABN Cahoot game and she won that prize. 39:09 I love that. 39:10 And then this is Senior Pastor, Pastor Shaw. 39:15 And Teresa is doing a fantastic job. 39:18 They're having an Evangelical Series this month and she's 39:21 going to be presenting 3ABN. 39:23 As you know, the first night of the meeting, opening night, a 39:26 lot of people will come and many may not come back. 39:29 But they're leaving, knowing about 3ABN and getting one of 39:33 the sharing cards so they can figure out how to watch. 39:37 Ways to watch. 39:39 There's a sharing card. 39:40 So people can call 3ABN and we will send out the sharing 39:42 cards. 39:43 Is that right? 39:43 Yes. 39:44 Free of charge. 39:45 Free of charge. 39:46 So you can call us at 618-627 -4651 and say, I want one of 39:51 these sharing cards. 39:55 watch 3ABN, their business card size and they're excellent to 39:58 be able to share with people. 39:59 So you mean they can call the call center tonight? 40:00 I mean they're open and they'll send them some. 40:02 Absolutely. 40:02 That's great. 40:03 That's a good deal. 40:06 That's wonderful. 40:07 Teresa is also marketing the Sabbath School Panel to the in 40:12 -person congregation and those who worship online. 40:15 Good for her. 40:19 them. 40:20 Everybody's on board. 40:21 They just love 3ABN. 40:24 And let's talk about what 3ABN ambassadors are doing locally. 40:29 A lot of them are blanking in their blanket in their area 40:32 with these door hangers and we can bring up a picture of those 40:37 who have never seen them. 40:38 They can be customized, yes. 40:39 So they could be customized with maybe local cable number 40:43 for how you can watch 3ABN in your local community or maybe 40:46 if it's on rabbit ears or however. 40:47 Exactly. 40:51 That's a good idea. 40:53 Are these free? 40:54 They are free. 40:56 Free shipping too. 41:00 So there's no excuse. 41:02 No excuse. 41:04 doors. 41:07 Zoom devotional reading this book and discussing it. 41:10 Shelley Quinn's new book. 41:12 And these are also available. 41:14 They are

all you're doing for the ministry 44:12 of 3ABN. 44:14 Mr. Pastor and Mrs. Denzi. 44:18 So talk to us about, I don't know where you want to start. 44:21 We'll start with Cuba. 44:22 How about that? 44:24 Recently went to Cuba because the work must go on. 44:29 As many people know, 3ABN Latino is on what they call the 44:35 weekly television package. 44:38 You want to call it network. 44:40 And that allows us to put a portion of our programming that 44:45 goes nationwide. 44:47 Every city, every little town, every province, 3ABN Latino is 44:52 on. 44:58 And we're just going to show a video of him because it has to 45:01 be translated into English. 45:03 So this is Giovanni Gonzalez that you will see on the screen 45:07 for those of us that are watching. 45:09 And Giovanni, he is the director. 45:13 And it is a miracle that we found him. 45:17 We've told that story, but it's a miracle that we found him 45:20 because it seemed like there were hundreds of places to buy 45:26 the package. 45:27 And we found him on the second one. 45:29 It's an amazing miracle. 45:30 We don't have time to share it, but he is the director. 45:33 And he is so excited about 3ABN that he is promoting 3ABN. 45:39 It has impacted his family. 45:41 He has made changes in his diet. 45:44 And recently also he started visiting places where the 45:48 package is to see how things are going, to see how his 45:52 affiliates are handling things. 45:55 And they say, what kind of programming are they asking? 45:57 Well, I don't know. 46:01 And he was surprised that it happened in several places he 46:05 went to. 46:06 He was specifically asking for 3ABN. 46:09 They're not asking for the soap operas and the shows and the 46:12 movies. 46:13 They're asking for 3ABN. 46:14 So this is a marvelous, marvelous thing. 46:17 And he, I said to him in the interview, I said to him, tell 46:20 me, during COVID everything stopped because I mean 46:24 everything stopped. 46:25 Churches were closed. 46:27 Cuba was one of those places like the U.S. 46:29 You may remember some places you can't come here. 46:32 It's closed. 46:33 Cuba was one of those places that put actually put police 46:37 barricade. 46:38 You couldn't cross from one, like one province to another. 46:42 And I said, so what happened during that time? 46:45 Well, normally our people go on the road and they go around to 46:50 take the package every week. 46:52 And some of them do download it from some place, but most of 46:56 them can't because the internet is expensive and slow. 47:01 So he said during the COVID our package had to take flight. 47:05 So they were actually flying within Cuba, the programming to 47:10 places. 47:13 Seeds are being planted and we are expecting great, great 47:16 blessings. 47:17 Have to go quickly. 47:19 I was able to meet with the Council of Churches and we 47:22 presented the interest in bringing Bibles to Cuba. 47:25 Yes. 47:27 Don't worry. 47:28 But the Council of Churches has approved bringing Bibles in and 47:32 we're going to talk about that some more. 47:34 This is an exciting project. 47:35 It's an exciting project and we have some details to talk 47:39 about. 47:42 Also was able to talk to the, they call it a mission, 47:45 conference and mission in Pinar de Rio, the mission Pinarena. 47:52 You can go online and check that out. 47:54 Pastor Walter Santos and told them about some of the things 47:58 we want to do. 48:03 with our Trivian programming to do Bible studies. 48:07 So it's an amazing thing and he is a busy, busy guy. 48:11 He's one of those, what do you call it? 48:13 On fire for the Lord people. 48:15 But anyway, one of the interesting thing was that as I 48:18 was leaving, there was this guy that started talking to us and 48:23 he said, you're from 3ABN? 48:24 I said, yes. 48:27 3ABN made a great impact in my life. 48:30 How is that? 48:31 Because he said, I was a member of another denomination. 48:34 I was actually studying to be a pastor and somebody gave me a 48:38 booklet called The Forgotten Commandment by Danny Shelton. 48:42 And that was way, way back about 16 years ago. 48:46 And now he's a director of evangelism for that mission. 48:50 Praise the Lord how he works. 48:51 Praise the Lord. 48:53 I was able to meet with the union, Pastor Aldo Joel and the 48:57 new secretary of the union and good meetings. 49:01 We praise the Lord so much to share about Cuba. 49:05 Things are very difficult right now in Cuba and 3ABN is there 49:09 at such a time of need that it is a light for people and this 49:15 may be one of the reasons why people are looking. 49:17 They're looking for hope. 49:18 That's right. 49:21 doing a wonderful work also there. 49:24 So 3ABN is giving a push in evangelism. 49:27 Praise the Lord for that. 49:28 What about Costa Rica? 49:31 Mrs. Denzi, you both were down there for an incredible 49:34 evangelistic series. 49:35 Thank you for asking. 49:38 Well, evangelizing with power, which is in Spanish, 49:41 evangelizando con poder. 49:43 We had not been able to do this because when the pandemic came 49:48 around, it just put a halt to it. 49:51 But it was so humbling and encouraging to receive 20 49:56 volunteers that said, here I am, Lord, send me. 50:01 And they went to preach. 50:03 We had 70 simultaneous campaigns. 50:07 70? 50:08 70. 50:09 Zero. 50:11 The 20 representatives from 3ABN Latino but the conference 50:16 wanted to join in the purpose of the evangelizing. 50:21 And that's how it became 70 evangelistic crusades. 50:27 Now we do have a video. 50:29 We're going to talk over it so that you can see the difference 50:33 as we started the event. 50:35 We got together. 50:36 We had worship. 50:37 We divided into prayer sessions. 50:40 And she is a doctor that came from Guatemala her first time. 50:44 He is also from Mexico. 50:47 And we had 10 representatives from Guatemala, two from 50:53 Honduras, four from Mexico, two from Texas, one from Maryland. 50:58 And there were quite a few that could not come. 51:02 This lady here is Zayda. 51:04 She went with her daughter. 51:05 Her daughter was the singer for her evangelistic crusade. 51:09 She had seven baptisms. 51:11 And Carlos here, it's the first time that he attends or takes 51:15 part of the evangelistic crusade. 51:17 These are small churches and big churches. 51:19 As you can contemplate the youth preaching, these young 51:24 people are young professionals. 51:25 There's one young man that went and turned 21 as we were there 51:30 in Costa Rica. 51:32 He is a forestal engineer. 51:35 And he was in a very hot or dangerous area. 51:40 And he thought, oh, what am I doing here, Lord, please? 51:43 But eventually he had three baptisms in this area. 51:47 This was also an altar call. 51:49 And oh my, this church here is a small group. 51:53 And these precious souls, they have about 30 children coming 51:57 to this special group. 52:00 But every night they would do questions about the previous 52:04 topic. 52:07 And you are going to see their Bibles so marked and 52:11 highlighted. 52:12 And they were in tune and parents would answer wrong, but 52:15 the kids were right. 52:18 Pastor Torres, he did a bilingual series by himself. 52:22 He preached in Spanish and English. 52:25 And Sister Simona is her first time coming and joining us. 52:29 But every morning we would have worship. 52:31 We would sing together. 52:32 We would pray together. 52:35 And we had the director of evangelism from the conference. 52:39 And we just got together to pray for each other and pray 52:43 for the people coming. 52:44 And this is one of the 323 baptisms that took place. 52:48 And they say, praise the Lord that in his hands we can make a 52:54 difference no matter where the Lord calls us as long as we 52:59 hold the light in the torch. 53:01 So we praise the Lord for all the people that took the time. 53:06 We had people of all ages, young people, older people, 53:10 people coming back to the church as this lady did. 53:13 So she had not congregated, but she was invited to the series. 53:16 And it was curious that it was bilingual and she went to the 53:20 English speaking church there. 53:23 We appreciate the conference. 53:24 We're letting us use the whole channel studio. 53:26 Yes, the conference had us as a studio and they let us use it 53:29 to take part of the interviews because we are preparing a 53:33 documentary on this evangelistic experience. 53:36 And we interview as many of the speakers that we possibly 53:40 could. 53:41 We had the director of evangelism for the Villahermosa 53:45 Tabasco Mexico Conference join us. 53:49 And that's the team there that you saw. 53:51 And we call it evangelizing with power because we're 53:54 thinking of Acts chapter one. 53:56 Jesus says, and you will receive power when the Holy 53:58 Ghost has come upon you. 54:00 And so, by the way, these, Yidalia said they're volunteer 54:03 speakers because they pay their own way. 54:06 And they take vacation time and they join us for this 54:09 evangelistic crusade. 54:11 It's a evangelistic crusade and it's a powerful, powerful thing 54:14 to see lives being transformed. 54:17 We just praise the Lord for the people that join us. 54:19 And it's an amazing, amazing thing. 54:22 Lives have been transformed. 54:23 By the way, some of the people that could not join us, the 54:26 conference is opening up the end of July because some people 54:30 had issues getting visas to get there and somebody had a 54:34 sickness in the family, couldn't make it. 54:35 So in July, they have a second chance. 54:38 So I know you're going to be working on, which we don't want 54:40 to say the place yet, but you're working on another 54:42 evangelistic series for next year where people can 54:44 participate, right? 54:45 I think it's in the spring of next year, 2025, right? 54:48 So if they have any questions, they just need to be stay tuned 54:51 to 3ABN, but also they can reach out to 3ABN Latino, 54:54 correct? 54:56 That's right. 54:58 Amen, praise the Lord. 55:00 We're almost at the end of the program. 55:02 Maybe for one minute, can you just talk to us about Honduras 55:05 and what happened? 55:05 You just came back last week. 55:06 We'll let Hidalgo start. 55:09 God is doing marvelous work and I believe that 3ABM is a tool 55:14 for evangelism. 55:17 We met many, many, many, many viewers that follow, but we 55:21 heard of many, many, many, many testimonies of people who came 55:25 to the Lord because of 3ABM Latino as fruit. 55:28 So we want to thank the administration from the Inter 55:31 -American Division. 55:33 We were with Dr. Elly Henry and also Dr. Belvin Braham and also 55:41 Pastor Powell who led this Evangelistic Crusade. 55:46 They had preaching all week, but it was a high Sabbath. 55:49 I don't know exactly, over a thousand baptisms. 55:52 I'll tell you how many. 55:53 Yes, go right ahead. 55:55 I have the latest update. 55:57 Actually, you mentioned Pastor Elly Henry. 55:59 He's the Inter-American Division president. 56:01 He was there. 56:03 According to Dr. Braham, as of April 20, over 7,920 baptisms, 56:08 that's a partial report of 800 evangelistic campaigns across 56:12 the Inter-American Division. 56:14 Amazing, amazing things are happening. 56:16 Amazing. 56:17 Amen, amen. 56:18 God is alive and well. 56:19 God is doing things in and through this ministry and 56:22 because of you as well, Pastor Johnny, Mrs. Dinzey, Jeff, 56:27 Ricky, and Jasmine, thank you for being here. 56:29 Thank you for your heart-free evangelism. 56:31 Love you all. 56:35 home too. 56:36 That's right. 56:39 Thank you for joining hands with us as together we can take 56:43 this gospel to the world. 56:44 We'll see you next time. |
