00:40 Hello and welcome to 3ABN Fall Camp Meeting.
00:43 This is a live program.
00:45 We're so thankful that you are joining us from literally around
00:48 the world. Isn't that amazing? We can stand on this little
00:51 spot: southern Illinois - originally farm ground -
00:55 and now we're able for the gospel literally to go
00:59 into all the world. Praise Jesus! It's an amazing thing!
01:02 Thank you for all of those in the audience,
01:04 those that have traveled long distances to be here.
01:07 And this is an exciting evening. It's Sabbath.
01:10 And we're blessed to have the Sabbath, and we know
01:14 that it's a special day for the Lord.
01:17 And tomorrow's a special day. We have Bro. John Bradshaw
01:20 has been with us last night, tonight.
01:22 But tomorrow morning we're going to have... we call him
01:25 Brother Little Richard, right?
01:27 Little Richard. And some of you listening they're saying:
01:30 "Who in the world? What is going on? "
01:32 "Little Richard? " Yeah... Little Richard has given his
01:34 heart to Jesus a number of years ago.
01:37 And I'm telling you he is on fire for the Lord.
01:40 Eighty-four years young, and I asked him a little earlier...
01:44 I said... He just got in a little while ago
01:46 from Nashville... and I said,
01:48 I said: "Richard, how... Bro. Richard, about how long? "
01:51 I said: "We usually go church service about an hour. "
01:53 I said: "How much of that? " I thought maybe 30 minutes
01:56 he might want, you know. I said: "How much time
01:58 you gonna need? " He said: "Oh, I'll probably...
02:01 usually I'll go an hour but tomorrow I'll go two hours"
02:03 he said. So I said: "All right; praise the Lord! "
02:06 Because I know that whatever comes out the Lord
02:08 has blessed him tremendously
02:10 and he's got a lot to say and a lot to share with the world.
02:13 He hasn't done a live interview
02:15 that I know of I think in about 18 or 20 years.
02:17 Um-hmm. A long time!
02:20 So... special to have him here.
02:22 It's good to have all these folk. My daughter Melody
02:24 is here. And Melody I'm glad you're here...
02:26 you made it tonight. Thank you. She comes up from Nashville.
02:29 Got the grandbabies here so we're happy about that.
02:32 And I say my daughter but Yvonne says it's her daughter.
02:35 So now we're having to share... it's our daughter. That's right.
02:37 That's right. That's the way you do that.
02:39 That means you get half the expenses if there's any,
02:42 too. So... Oh!
02:43 So it's not always so bad. All right... all right.
02:46 The Dinzeys are here tonight... you weren't here last night.
02:48 Where ya'll been? Well, we flew back
02:51 from Bogotá, Colombia, on Tuesday night.
02:54 You know, I've heard people say they flew back from somewhere
02:57 and their arms are tired.
02:58 Our whole body was tired because of the three airplanes
03:01 we had to take. And we were there with the
03:04 evangelistic campaign for two weeks. Two weeks!
03:07 How many? Tell us... go down to the nitty gritty.
03:10 At the end how many people came to know the Lord
03:12 and came to be baptized? Well, Danny, it was a two-phase
03:15 evangelistic campaign. First week was our viewers.
03:18 They paid their own way, and we had 40 viewers go with us
03:23 from different countries.
03:25 I may talk a little bit about that tomorrow, but
03:28 then local pastors joined us, so it's 176 evangelistic
03:32 campaigns simultaneously in Bogotá, Colombia the first week.
03:35 The second week it was just 9 evangelists in different areas.
03:39 And total 849 people baptized. Isn't that amazing?
03:44 Praise the Lord! God is alive and well, isn't He?
03:48 Thank you for what you do for the cause of God.
03:51 Tita, you guys have had a big scare but the Lord has blessed.
03:54 Tell us a little bit about Puerto Rico
03:56 and your folks. Well, I believe the Lord has His hand
04:01 upon His people, and I praise the Lord for the peace
04:04 that He gives us no matter what storm we're going through
04:07 as long as we grasp to His hand and walk with Him.
04:10 Yes, I have my moments of breaking down in tears
04:13 because I didn't know anything from my family.
04:16 And I told those kids to leave the house, and they stayed
04:21 in their home and they watched the roof being lifted
04:24 by the wind. But praise God they're alive!
04:28 And our son Samuel just few into Puerto Rico to help them out.
04:34 Wow! Praise the Lord!
04:35 It's amazing how few deaths. Terrible destruction
04:39 but God did have His hand on the lives of so many people there.
04:43 And that's the times in which we're living, isn't it? Um-hmm.
04:46 The end times: hurricanes, earthquakes going on.
04:49 That's right. We even had one here a few weeks ago.
04:52 What was it? 4.3? I never felt it 'cause I'm
04:54 always shaking anyway. But some folk told me they did.
04:57 I figure they're the young ones and steady ones.
04:59 They felt it but I never felt... Anybody? Any of you know?
05:03 Felt it here? No? But it was here and it was on the news
05:07 so I said: "Well, I guess we had an earthquake. "
05:09 And... But it's happening all over.
05:11 You know the one in Mexico City? All of those places...
05:13 And it's a sign of the end actually.
05:15 And we're going to see more and more and more of this.
05:18 Because how do I know? The Bible tells me so, right?
05:21 That's right. All right. You know what we should do
05:23 speaking of that... Where's Brother Tim?
05:25 That sounded like a good... Give us about a B flat
05:27 and let's sing Jesus Loves Me, This I Know.
05:29 I love him; he's a minuteman, right?
05:32 Jesus loves me, this I know!
05:37 For the Bible tells me so.
05:42 Little ones to Him belong...
05:47 they are weak but He is strong! Sing it out now:
05:52 Yes, Jesus loves me!
05:57 Yes, Jesus loves me!
06:01 Yes, Jesus loves me!
06:05 The Bible tells me so.
06:12 I think we ought to do that again, don't you?
06:14 Amen! Isn't that wonderful?
06:16 Jesus loves me, this I KNOW
06:19 for the Bible tells me so!
06:21 Don't have to listen to anybody else... the Bible tells me so.
06:24 That's right. Little ones to Him belong.
06:25 They are weak... we are weak... but He is strong!
06:29 Let's sing it out like we love Jesus tonight, right?
06:32 Jesus loves me, this I know!
06:37 For the Bible tells me so.
06:42 Little ones to Him belong...
06:46 they are weak but He is strong! Everybody now:
06:52 Yes, Jesus loves me!
06:56 Yes, Jesus loves me!
07:01 Yes, Jesus loves me!
07:05 The Bible tells me so.
07:12 And everybody said? Amen!
07:15 Before we go and turn it over to Miss Brenda, anybody
07:17 have something on your heart tonight? You really want to say
07:20 something or share something?
07:21 We've just got a minute or two.
07:24 Mollie Sue, you look like... Shelley's got the mic.
07:26 I was just thinking this is... We're talking about sacrifice
07:30 and I was thinking about when Jesus prepared Himself
07:34 for sacrifice that He was in the Garden of Gethsemane
07:37 and how He prepared Himself was to say: "Lord,
07:40 not My will but Yours be done. "
07:42 And that's what we need to be praying
07:45 day by day is: "Lord, not My will but Yours be done. "
07:49 Amen! I've got an idea... let's sing some more.
07:57 Let's sing some more. Tim's going to play He Touched Me.
08:01 How many know it? You know the son? At least the chorus?
08:05 Let's do the chorus.
08:08 He touched me...
08:11 oh, He touched me...
08:17 and oh, the joy
08:21 that floods my soul.
08:27 Something happened
08:30 and now I know
08:34 He touched me
08:37 and made me whole.
08:44 Well since I met this blessed
08:49 Savior,
08:53 since He cleansed and made
08:56 me whole... I will never cease...
09:01 I will never cease
09:05 to praise Him...
09:08 I'll shout it
09:11 while eternity rolls!
09:16 He touched me...
09:20 oh, He touched me...
09:25 and oh, the joy
09:29 that floods my soul.
09:35 Something happened
09:38 and now I know
09:43 He touched me
09:45 and made me whole.
09:55 You know, 3ABN is known for evangelism.
09:59 That's what we're about, isn't it Danny? is evangelism.
10:02 And through the airwaves we have taken this message
10:05 of the kingdom to the whole world.
10:07 Every inhabited continent has had the message
10:11 of the Lord Jesus Christ available to it.
10:14 But you know, something that 3ABN is also very invested in
10:17 is our next-door neighbor... of taking the gospel next door
10:21 one on one. And Danny Shelton has written
10:24 the most incredible witnessing book. It's called
10:27 Spiritual Vigilantes. And it's the truth behind
10:30 the attempted destruction of God's law.
10:33 If you want to help your neighbors, we are giving you
10:35 an opportunity to join us in evangelism.
10:38 We have got cases of this book!
10:41 And they're absolutely free to you here at the 3ABN booth.
10:46 And for you at home, if you would like to get this book
10:49 also just to be used for evangelism, to take to your
10:54 neighbors. And you know, Jesus is returning soon
10:58 and we want every soul that we possibly can
11:02 to be in that great number when the Lord returns.
11:05 So we are making this available to you
11:09 to join us in evangelism
11:11 so that this message - the gospel - will be shared where?
11:15 In the whole world. And then what's going to happen, Danny?
11:19 Then it's the beginning. We talk about the end
11:21 but it's actually the beginning, right? Eternal life forever.
11:25 Why don't we sing? We've been kind of using this
11:28 as a theme song: Onward Christian Soldiers.
11:30 We want you to sing it with us.
11:32 And at home I'm sure that you know it, too.
11:33 We're going to do that then right after that
11:36 Miss Brenda Walsh, 3ABN Kids Network,
11:40 it's your time, all right? Amen! All right!
12:41 Brother Kenny, would you come and say a prayer?
12:43 We should do that and then we'll turn it over to Brenda.
12:47 Let's bow our heads, shall we, as we pray together?
12:49 Merciful Father in heaven,
12:50 we thank you for again the beginning of the Sabbath Day.
12:53 We thank you that You blessed, You sanctified,
12:56 You set apart the seventh day of the week
12:58 that we could come together.
13:00 Fellowship together but most of all with all of heaven.
13:02 We find joy and pleasure that we know Jesus as
13:05 our Lord and Savior. We find happiness to know
13:08 that we can be part of the family of God.
13:10 Our hearts are touched every time we think about Calvary,
13:13 every time we think about the sacrifice that was made
13:15 in our behalf. So Father, tonight, as we come before Thee
13:18 we solicit, we beg for the power of Thy Holy Spirit.
13:22 Yes! Amen! Please descend upon us as a people.
13:24 How desperately we need to be guided!
13:27 How desperately we need direction in this hour that
13:29 we're living in. We need You!
13:31 We pray that You will bless each and every one who participates
13:33 tonight. Bless Sr. Brenda as she brings a message
13:37 of joy and cheer and expansion, the work that You are doing.
13:41 Bless everything that's said, everything that's done,
13:43 every song that we've lifted our hearts and our minds on.
13:46 We've lifted it to you by faith to the very throne room
13:49 of God because You made it available through Calvary.
13:52 Thank you for the precious souls that are here with us.
13:56 Thank you for the precious souls that are listening and watching
13:59 around the world. Amen! Lord, may every word that's
14:03 spoken... may it uplift Jesus Christ.
14:05 May hearts and lives be touched.
14:07 Not for just a day, not for this moment,
14:09 oh Lord, for eternity. And we can only give You praise;
14:12 we can only give You honor and glory
14:14 because it's all You. And I thank you in Jesus' name,
14:17 Amen. Amen!
14:19 Sr. Brenda. Thank you, Bro. Danny.
14:21 And I tell you, I want to thank you for that song
14:23 Jesus Loves Me. Was that not the perfect song for tonight?
14:26 Thank you so much. It's a privilege to be with you
14:29 here at 3ABN Camp Meeting Homecoming.
14:32 And how many here have been blessed already from being here?
14:36 Amen? And what a privilege it is
14:39 to just gather together and worship together. And tonight
14:42 I wanted to share with you about 3ABN Kids Network
14:46 and some of the exciting things that have been going on
14:49 with our network. You know, Jesus loves the little children.
14:53 Remember when the disciples tried to send the children away?
14:58 What did Jesus say? "Suffer the little children
15:01 to... " What? "to come unto Me. "
15:03 Children were important and ARE important to Jesus.
15:07 And I really would hope that all of us become more passionate
15:12 about children's' ministries.
15:15 I was speaking at a church not long ago
15:18 out in California, and when I finished speaking
15:21 I was greeting some of the people. And I noticed there was
15:23 this young lady. She was about a 16, 17-year-old.
15:28 And she waited in line to say hello, and she said:
15:31 "Miss Brenda, could I talk to you for just a few moments? "
15:34 And I said: "Sure. " I said: "Let's... "
15:36 She goes: "No, no... in private. "
15:38 I said: "OK. " So I said: "No problem. "
15:40 We walked over to the side there and I said:
15:43 "What's on your heart? "
15:45 And she just reached out and gave me this great big hug!
15:47 I mean just like she wasn't going to let go and started to
15:50 cry. And I was like: "Oh, honey, what's the matter? "
15:54 I couldn't think about what might be the problem.
15:57 And she said: "I thought I would have to wait till I got
15:59 to heaven to tell you this and I see that I drove 4 hours
16:03 to see you when I heard you were going to be here. "
16:05 And I said: "Well I'm so glad you're... "
16:08 "No, no, no... you don't understand! "
16:10 "I didn't just want to see you in person; I wanted you to know
16:14 what Kids Time has done for me. "
16:18 She said: "When I was little... "
16:20 she said: "I didn't grow up in a home that knew anything
16:23 about Jesus. " And she said: "In fact, there's a lot of
16:27 cussing and swearing and everything going on in my home
16:30 that Jesus wouldn't be proud of at all.
16:33 But one day coming home after school... "
16:36 she said, "I had a TV in my room 'cause my parents were
16:40 drinking and carrying on. They didn't want me around
16:42 and I'd go to my room.
16:44 And my TV was not working.
16:47 And so, " she said, "I was, you know, flipping it and all I was
16:51 getting was those lines and I was getting so mad. "
16:53 And she said: "I banged on it
16:54 and all of a sudden there you were! "
16:58 And she said: "And you were the only channel I could get
17:01 so I watched the whole program. And I loved it so much! "
17:05 And she said: "You know, for even several weeks later
17:08 when my television started working again
17:11 I couldn't wait to get home from school
17:14 to watch Kids Time. "
17:16 She said: "Miss Brenda, I can't even tell you
17:20 how much it meant to me that you introduced me to Jesus. "
17:25 "But then I got older
17:27 and I started hanging out with my friends and I thought
17:30 I was too old to watch Kids Time.
17:32 And I kind of moved away but I still... There was something
17:37 pulling at me because I knew Jesus loved me.
17:40 I loved it when you would look right at me and say:
17:43 'Jesus loves you and I do too. '
17:45 And I believed you and I knew you meant it!
17:50 And then one day one of my friends
17:53 had been given this book called Passionate Prayer Promises.
17:57 Had all kinds of prayers in it.
17:58 And she gave it to me and I said:
18:01 'I think that's Miss Brenda. Brenda Walsh is on that book.
18:04 I think that's Miss Brenda! ' " And she goes, "And I looked
18:06 it up and I saw that it was. " And she said: "Miss Brenda,
18:09 I read every one of those prayers, and I started
18:12 watching Kids Time again. "
18:14 And she said: "A couple of months ago
18:17 I was baptized into the Seventh-day Adventist church.
18:20 THAT's why I came! "
18:23 "That's why I drove 4 hours... because I wanted to
18:26 tell you: please, don't stop doing Kids Time.
18:30 It made a difference in my life
18:32 and I know that there's others. And would you pray for my family
18:35 'cause I'm still the only one in my family
18:37 that knows Jesus...
18:39 and I'm trying to be a witness just like you said! "
18:42 Amen? Amen!
18:44 So we never know how God is going to use each one of us.
18:48 Who's going to be in the kingdom because of it? Amen?
18:52 Amen! I would be lying if I stood up here and
18:56 said it's been an easy road and we don't ever have any
19:00 problems and recording Kids Time has been easy
19:03 all these years. We've been on every day for going on 16 years.
19:07 Amen? Amen! I mean, I think about sixteen years
19:10 and actually it took a couple years to produce it
19:13 and get it off the ground so I've actually been a full-time
19:15 volunteer going on 20 years.
19:18 And there's times going back and forth that I'd
19:21 have my little pity party and I'd want to sleep in my own bed
19:24 with my... You know, be at home with my husband
19:26 and play with my grandkids more.
19:29 I'd have that little pity party and God would remind me
19:31 "Brenda, I've got a work for you to do
19:35 and when we get to heaven there's going to be plenty
19:37 of time to play. " And you know, He puts that joy in our hearts.
19:41 Because unless we're willing to serve God
19:43 all the way... We need to be willing.
19:45 He's not going to force us.
19:46 We need to be obedient because it's important to do
19:49 what God wants us to do, right?
19:50 And we need to be joyful about whatever it is
19:53 God asks us to do.
19:55 If we, like my dad... And my dad is watching tonight.
19:58 Hi Mom and Dad! My daddy always says
20:01 "If you love Jesus, notify your face. "
20:05 So if you love Jesus, let's just notify our faces, OK?
20:10 Well we've had some exciting exciting things happening
20:13 around here lately. Even though we still don't have
20:16 our new studio we're raising funds for our studio.
20:19 We've raised quite a bit of money for it;
20:21 we're still looking for land.
20:23 But I had the privilege of meeting someone that is
20:26 working with me to help find that land,
20:28 and I praise God for him. Somebody that has a lot of
20:31 experience in that area.
20:33 And we are still raising the funds so that we can have
20:36 our own studio to produce children's programs
20:39 all week long. Not six weeks out of the year
20:42 but all week long. But I'm really excited about that.
20:46 I know we're getting closer.
20:48 We also - even though we don't have a studio -
20:52 we're going forward with new programs.
20:53 Kids Time has been on hiatus since... We taped the last
20:57 one in 2014 so we could get other programs on the network.
21:01 'Cause now I'm not just producer of Kids Time
21:03 I am the general manager of the network.
21:05 I've got to think about all new content for the network.
21:08 So I had to back off of Kids Time even though we have
21:12 twelve new programs. I'll tell you about that
21:14 in a minute of Kids Time getting ready to come out.
21:16 But I've been really busy and our crew has been really busy -
21:20 our Kids Network crew here - to produce new programs.
21:23 Well I'm really excited to tell you about what we've just done.
21:27 Rich Aguilera, who is on Nature Time on Kids Time.
21:31 He is an incredible host, loves the Lord with all his heart.
21:34 And he hosted a new worship program for kids ages
21:40 eleven to fifteen.
21:42 And we had the best time. We just did it a few weeks ago.
21:45 And we are going to record some more in November.
21:49 So are you curious about what that program would look like?
21:52 I thought you would be so guess what?
21:55 We've got a roll. Let's just watch right now
21:57 a little bit of the fun on Bible Treasures.
22:00 Hey Elizabeth! Hi Lori! How was your ride?
22:05 It was great! I found so many fossils.
22:07 I wish I could have gone. Oh... me, too.
22:09 Hey guys. Hi, Sam... what's wrong?
22:11 I can't remember how to throw a boomerang.
22:14 Really? Hmm? But eventually it came back to me.
22:22 Hey everybody... how's it going?
22:24 Hey! Why don't you come on in, guys?
22:25 Man, I'm so excited to see you guys today.
22:27 Another day on the dig is always a good day. Yes!
22:30 My name is Rich Aguilera and welcome to Bible Treasures.
22:33 We have an awesome team assembled as always.
22:36 Let them introduce themselves.
22:38 Hi, I'm Elizabeth and I'm your computer ops girl.
22:41 And I'm Sam, your expert when it comes to historical documents.
22:45 And I'm Lori, and I love digging into our treasure chest
22:48 for more artifacts.
22:50 Can you see inside of this?
22:51 Yes... I can!
22:53 Wow! This is so cool. There's a lot of fibers in it.
22:56 I wonder where you found it.
22:57 Such a hot day! I know!
23:01 Hi you guys. Hi Emily.
23:03 Why are you late? I was looking for my watch
23:06 but I didn't have the time!
23:09 That's hilarious. OK!
23:12 Kind of a heavy one. Wow!
23:15 This is an Aztec calendar. I've seen those things before.
23:20 This came from the Yucatan Peninsula in Mexico.
23:23 The Aztecs lived there. Oh!
23:26 Sam, do you think you could point to us on the map
23:27 where the Aztecs used to live there in Mexico?
23:30 Oh, that's a good idea! It's right here!
23:32 Oh, there it is! That's it... that's it.
23:34 I saw a location brief just the other day.
23:36 Let's check it out. Let's take a look at it.
23:38 This'll be handy. Hmm... can you find it?
23:40 Ah, well I have something very special in here to show you
23:42 guys. Ooh! Is that teeth?
23:45 It is! Oh, my goodness. Oh, that's so cool!
23:47 These are shark teeth.
23:49 Shark teeth, really? Are they real? You can hold one. Wow!
23:52 You can hold one for real. No thank you?
23:56 Well, I actually got these sharks' teeth in Florida.
23:58 Florida? Um-hmm. Cool!
24:00 Wow! That's a good one: a pharaoh. Yeah.
24:03 This is a replica of the mask, the burial mask,
24:07 of King Tut. King Tut? Um-hmm.
24:10 How old was he? He was buried in a town called Luxor
24:14 in Egypt. Right here in Egypt! Oh wow!
24:20 How about we invite the crew. Where is the crew?
24:22 Come on in, guys.
24:24 Let's pray together. Who wants to pray for us?
24:26 I'd love to. Elizabeth is going to pray.
24:29 All right. Come on in, guys, and let's bow our heads.
24:33 Dear God, thank you for this day.
24:36 and thank you that You still perform miracles
24:38 just like You did back in Bible times.
24:41 In Jesus' name, Amen. Amen!
24:44 Well guys, you want to know what the answer is to our
24:46 brain teaser? Yeah! All right... here we go.
24:49 Let's see if you guys figured this one out.
24:51 I think this is one of our toughest ones. Yeah, I think so.
24:55 All right, it says: the more you take the more you leave behind.
25:00 What are they?
25:02 Hmm... tracks? Oh, it's footprints!
25:08 You got it... you got it.
25:11 I'm so glad you joined us today for Bible Treasures.
25:14 Don't forget to search for treasure.
25:17 every day! See you next time, guys.
25:20 Come on guys... let's get onto our dig.
25:22 That was cool. Yeah! I can't believe he actually...
25:28 So what did you think?
25:32 Unfortunately you didn't hear the spiritual part.
25:35 That didn't get edited in
25:38 so you're going to have to watch the program.
25:39 'cause what you saw was a lot of the preliminaries
25:41 before and after
25:42 but you missed the "meat" of the program.
25:44 So you're going to have to stay tuned to watch it.
25:45 It's a really wonderful, wonderful program
25:48 and I think it's something that kids are going to get excited
25:50 about. Something else that I promised at Spring Camp Meeting.
25:54 I was talking to you about we have 12 brand new
25:58 Kids Time programs that no one has ever seen.
26:01 And we have such editing needs that we haven't been able
26:05 to get them on the air since 2014.
26:08 Well, after Spring Camp Meeting we had someone that
26:13 very generously donated the funds to complete the
26:18 editing for our Bible stories. We have only 4 left to edit
26:22 and then every Sabbath there'll be a brand new program.
26:25 And I thought I just wanted to say thank you
26:27 to all of you who are supporting our Kids Network.
26:31 And I thought it'd be nice if you saw just a little clippet.
26:34 I talked to you a little bit about Jonah...
26:36 how we did the Bible story of Jonah.
26:38 We did it on a green screen and how we made it look like
26:41 it was, you know, in the middle of the ocean.
26:43 Are you curious what that would look like?
26:45 Well we can't show you the whole story 'cause there's not enough
26:48 time, but I thought I'd give you a little sneak preview.
26:51 Would you like that? Let's take a look.
26:54 Did you know that there are some fish that are so big
26:57 they can swallow a man whole? Really? Yes! That's right.
27:02 In fact, would you kids like to hear a story about a fish
27:05 like that? We love your stories, Miss Brenda.
27:07 Well, I like to tell you about this story because
27:11 it started a long time ago in a city by the name of Nineveh.
27:17 God was going to allow the city to be destroyed
27:21 but He knew that if the people were given the opportunity
27:24 to learn about Him they would repent of their sinful ways
27:28 and worship Him.
27:29 Because He loved the people so much
27:32 God chose to reveal Himself through His servant Jonah.
27:38 "Who said that?
27:41 Is that You, Lord? "
27:42 "Jonah, arise... go to Nineveh -
27:47 that great city - and speak out against the wickedness
27:51 of the people there. "
27:54 "What? Me? But I... "
27:57 "Jonah, go forth and trust in Me. "
28:03 "Yes, Lord... yes Lord, I will... I will. "
28:08 "Oh, I must leave at once.
28:10 I've been given a great task. The many people of Nineveh
28:14 must hear of the one true God.
28:18 They must change their wicked ways and... "
28:22 "Oh dear! Oh dear! So many people to reach! "
28:27 "And to get to the city so very far away...
28:30 at least a three-day journey. "
28:33 "And I am an Israelite. Oh, the people of Nineveh will not be
28:39 pleased to have an Israelite in their midst. "
28:41 "Oh, what could possibly be gained? "
28:45 "And it's just me. A whole city can't be changed
28:47 by just one man. Oh... it's too big a task.
28:51 It's just too much! What am I to do? "
29:06 Don't tell me he really went the opposite direction.
29:08 Yes he did, Delaney. In fact, he fled to Joppa
29:12 and boarded a ship to... Does anybody know where?
29:14 Tarshish!
29:17 "Hurry... toss it over.
29:19 Toss everything overboard! "
29:22 "One... two... three! "
29:42 "We need help... we need help! "
30:02 "Seems to be quite a storm! " "Were you sleeping? "
30:06 "I was sleeping down underneath. "
30:14 "While we were yelling and pray- ing and asking God for mercy? "
30:20 "What kind of man sleeps through a storm like this? "
30:24 "Wait a minute... my name is Jonah! Who? Jonah!
30:28 My name is Jonah! " "Who? Oh, no! "
30:33 "You guys: I'm a prophet of the Lord God...
30:36 the one true God. " "An Israelite! " "Yes! "
30:39 "I've heard of you people and your God.
30:42 Are you responsible for this? "
30:44 "Have you angered your God and brought this storm upon us? "
30:48 "It's a strong possibility but... " But what? "
30:53 "Right now, you see, God asked me to go into Nineveh. "
30:55 "What are you talking about? " "But I was too scared! "
30:59 "He's a coward, too! " "I was too scared. "
31:02 "Scared? What do you mean scared? "
31:06 "It seemed like an impossible task so I ran away. "
31:11 "Throw everything overboard. We shouldn't be talking so much;
31:14 what'll we do with him? "
31:15 "Yes... how do we appease your God? "
31:18 "There's only one way: you've gotta throw me overboard. "
31:22 "Oh, I agree with that! " "Yes! "
31:24 "Sounds like a good plan. " "I don't want to die. "
31:27 "Yes... throw him over! "
31:31 "Throw him over: one... two... three! "
31:38 What happened next, Miss Brenda?
31:40 Did he drown?
31:41 Well kids, Our God is a forgiving God, isn't He?
31:45 Yes. He's a loving God and do you know what God did?
31:48 He prepared a great big fish to swallow Jonah.
31:53 Whoa! Yes!
31:56 Would you like to see the rest of the story?
32:01 Well, thanks to some very generous people
32:05 those programs are going to air soon. We only have 4 more
32:08 and then we will have 12 new Kids Times programs to air
32:12 real soon. Amen? Amen!
32:14 Something else that... When I spoke at Spring Camp Meeting
32:19 some very dear friends - I don't have permission to say
32:22 their names; I'm just going to tell you their first names -
32:24 but a very generous donation by Mike and Cameo
32:28 made it possible. They are funding the entire series
32:31 of Tiny Tot Kitchen to be edited
32:34 and we have contracted a video editor that's doing it
32:37 right now. Amen? And so thank you Mike and Cameo.
32:42 They didn't know I was going to say that.
32:43 And also we got a generous donation from someone else
32:47 that I'm not going to tell their last name, but
32:49 Dick and Lucy. And they are funding the entire
32:52 Tiny Tot Worship. There's like 80 programs in both shows.
32:56 So can we give them a great big amen and a thank you for that?
33:02 You know, I really am excited about so many other things
33:06 that are happening on Kids Network as well.
33:08 And one thing that I'd like to tell you about is
33:11 we are... I'd like to actually invite everyone to join us
33:15 for a Kids Time Holy Land tour.
33:19 And I'm really excited about it. In fact, we just completed
33:22 this promo. And so let's take a look right now
33:26 and I'd like to tell you all about the Holy Land Tour
33:29 this year. Hi, I'm Brenda Walsh
33:31 and I have some exciting news to share with you.
33:34 I'd like to invite you and your whole family
33:37 to join me on a Kids time Holy Land Tour.
33:41 That's right. We'll be leaving December 17
33:43 returning December 27
33:46 and we are going to have the most amazing time.
33:49 We'll be visiting countries such as Jordan and Israel
33:53 and all the familiar places that you've heard about.
33:56 We'll be going to Petra; we'll be going to Jerusalem.
33:59 We're going to see the Garden of Gethsemane
34:01 and walk where Jesus walked.
34:03 We'll see the Pool of Bethesda,
34:05 the Via Dolorosa.
34:07 We'll be going to Capernaum.
34:09 So many different places... the Masada.
34:11 We are going to have an amazing time together.
34:15 Little Mirielle, who is one of our Kids Time singers...
34:18 she's going to be joining us as well.
34:20 When we get through with our tour that day, in the evening
34:23 when we gather together we'll have worship together.
34:25 Mirielle will be singing for special music.
34:28 We'll all be joining and praising the Lord together.
34:30 We're going to have just a really really special time.
34:33 Thank you, Brenda. My name is John Lomacang,
34:36 the pastor of the Kids Time Network. And I've been looking
34:39 forward to this adventure to go to the Bible lands.
34:42 So I'd like to also extend an invitation to you to come
34:45 and be a part of the Holy Land Kids Time Tour...
34:48 one that will inevitably transform your lives.
34:51 You've read your Bible, but just imagine going from
34:53 the written page to begin to walk in the places that
34:56 Jesus walked. To see history come alive
34:59 as we look at the Bible in the Old Testament
35:01 as well as in the New Testament.
35:03 We're going to go from mountain scenes to rock cities
35:06 to the Jordan where Jesus was baptized.
35:09 And many of you will get an opportunity to re-commit or
35:11 commit for the first time in the waters of the Jordan
35:14 where Jesus was baptized. And I will have the privilege
35:17 of participating in conducting those baptisms.
35:20 We're going to have a fun time during the day
35:22 and in the evenings we're going to get together
35:24 for family worship... for singing.
35:27 We're going to be taping these things and if your children come
35:30 they can participate in the programming, from singing
35:33 to reciting Bible verses
35:35 to even acting out some of the things that will
35:37 transform their walk and their understanding of Jesus.
35:41 So look forward to it.
35:42 It's going to be during the Christmas season.
35:44 What better place to be during the Christmas season
35:46 than in the Bible lands? Maybe Bethlehem or Jerusalem!
35:50 But it will transform your life and I guarantee you will
35:53 not be the same. So bring your family and your friends,
35:55 your children, and even just yourself.
35:57 Come to have an experience that will make your life much better.
36:01 Back to you, Brenda.
36:03 If you would like to know more about it
36:05 and if you're interested, you can call me at:
36:11 or you can e-mail me at:
36:19 When you think about giving your kids a gift at Christmas time
36:23 why not give the gift for eternity
36:26 when you're thinking about the spiritual gift you can give?
36:30 I don't think you could possibly give a better gift
36:34 than bringing your children closer to Jesus
36:36 and yourself, too.
36:38 So please join us December 17 through 27
36:41 for the Kids Time Holy Land Tour,
36:44 and I can't wait to see you there.
36:47 Remember: it's kids time to share Jesus.
36:53 Well I've asked Pastor John to join me.
36:56 He needs no introduction.
36:57 He IS our Kids Time pastor... has been all these years.
37:00 Amen... amen. He has always been our Kids Time pastor.
37:03 There's been times I've had to call him and say: "Pastor,
37:05 I've got a child here that I think really needs to talk
37:08 to a pastor. " Yes. And he's on his way and he's there.
37:10 And you have really served us. You also hosted Talk Time =
37:14 that's right - which was your own segment on... And so now
37:18 of course, you know, when we're having our first Holy Land Tour,
37:21 Kids Time Tour, it wouldn't be the same, Pastor John,
37:24 without you and Angie there with us.
37:26 Thank you so much, Brenda. You know, I've always wanted
37:28 to go. People say the Holy Land. I call it the Bible Land
37:31 because I think that heaven is the Holy Land. Amen?
37:34 The history of the Bible, though, comes alive.
37:36 And I've heard about it, but I've never had the privilege
37:38 of going there. And I was looking... If you have
37:40 your phones... I don't intend for you to do that now...
37:43 but I went on the website
37:45 3ABNKids.tv
37:50 and you can thumb through the actual thumbnails
37:53 of all the different places I was excited to see.
37:56 This is a place I have never been:
37:58 Tabgha... that's how it's said in the Hebrew.
38:01 And I thought: "What on earth is that? "
38:03 And I had to re-familiarize myself with that is the place
38:07 where Jesus was... He fed the multitude.
38:12 He fed those: the 4,000, the 5,000 and also the place
38:15 where it is indicated that He was sighted for the fourth time
38:19 after His resurrection. So we're going to places that
38:22 I've only heard about and preached about.
38:25 And they tell me, Brenda, that when you go to the Holy Land
38:27 or the Bible Land you can never read the Bible the same again.
38:30 Have you had that experience? That was my very first trip
38:33 to the Bible Land. I like Bible Land, too.
38:36 It really... My whole perception when I read my Bible now
38:40 is so different. Things that I thought of when you
38:44 really were... you are in the same place where Pilate stood
38:47 and Jesus stood. And when you see
38:51 the land where Jesus walked and you see the places
38:55 in the Bible that you read about
38:57 I don't even see it the same way anymore.
38:59 I was... My perception of that was so far off!
39:03 It was just... it's a different feeling.
39:05 And when I... I'll never forget standing in the same room
39:08 which was Pilate's house. And when our guide was sharing
39:11 that Jesus' feet were on... This was the original floor.
39:14 That's right. I just started crying.
39:16 I didn't even know I was crying. I just was so moved
39:19 by that. And I believe anything that we can do, Pastor John,
39:23 to bring our children and ourselves closer to Jesus
39:26 let's do it. And we're really going to have a fun time.
39:28 We're not only going to see so many beautiful places
39:31 we're inviting you to bring your kids. That's right!
39:33 And we're going to have some cameras and we're gonna...
39:36 Kids know their favorite memory verses.
39:38 We'll have them in very popular places
39:40 and shoot that footage and we're going to air it
39:43 on our Kids Network. Won't that be awesome?
39:45 Now if you know anything about Brenda she is not low energy.
39:49 I mean so this is not going to be a hum-drum, what do we do
39:51 next kind of tour. We're going to have a lot of fun!
39:54 Maybe in the Bible lands I'll find out the secret of
39:57 your energy. You already know: Jesus.
40:03 "The joy of the Lord is my strength. " That's right. Amen!
40:04 When we received the phone call -
40:05 my wife and I were in New Jersey doing something in New York,
40:08 actually - and we got the call. And Brenda said: "Are you
40:10 sitting down? " "Yeah, we're sitting down. "
40:12 She said: "We'd like for you to go with us to the Bible lands. "
40:16 And Angie and I looked at each other
40:18 and took about five minutes to breathe. I gave her CPR.
40:22 And but then we said: "Amazing! "
40:24 And then Brenda got on this right away.
40:26 So I'm looking forward to just revolutionizing my walk
40:29 with Christ. And you know, it'd be good to be there
40:33 for a number of reasons. We're going to be there during
40:35 the Christmas season. That's right.
40:36 And I've heard that if you really want to experience
40:39 the Christmas season in the way that would be
40:42 memorable is to be where all these events
40:45 have transpired. And we all know
40:47 Jesus wasn't born December 25th.
40:50 But you cannot miss it. Even Ellen White says
40:52 we cannot come to the season and go by it unnoticed.
40:55 As long as we remember the greatest gift is to remember
40:57 Jesus during the season. Amen.
40:59 And so it's good to give your children a different viewpoint
41:02 rather than a fat man with a red outfit. Amen.
41:06 Hope nobody has on red here. I don't want to offend anybody.
41:08 And Pastor John is going to be baptizing if you want to be
41:11 re-baptized or you just want to be baptized for the first time
41:14 n the Jordan River. It's an incredible privilege
41:17 to do that. And he's going to have worship each evening.
41:20 We'll get together; we're going to sing.
41:21 We're going to just praise the Lord together.
41:24 So how many would like to join us this Christmas season
41:27 for our gift for eternity for your family?
41:30 Well thank you, Pastor John. I appreciate you coming.
41:33 I'm so glad you're going to be a part of this tour.
41:34 I can't even tell you... I'm excited.
41:37 For those of you who really don't know Miss Brenda
41:39 has a husband, you're going to get to meet my husband
41:42 because Miss Brenda's husband is going to be there, too.
41:44 So I love you, honey!
41:46 And I thought about doing bap- tisms. Today I got it mixed up.
41:49 I said: "We're going to do baptisms in the Dead Sea
41:51 but everyone will float. "
41:53 So we mean the Jordan.
41:55 Thank you so much. I appreciate it, Brenda. Love you pastor!
41:58 And we're going to have such a great time.
42:00 Something else that I want to tell you about real quick.
42:04 And that is just next month the very first weekend in November
42:08 I guess I've gotta skip a month, huh?
42:11 Time flies so fast, but the first week in November
42:14 I want to invite anyone that's out in the California area:
42:17 we are going to do a Kids Time Live! program.
42:22 And we're going to be in Santa Rosa November 3rd,
42:25 Mountain View November 4, and November 5 Sacramento.
42:29 We are going to do a whole live Kids Time program
42:33 and we're going to take like an hour and a half to do it.
42:37 Rich Aguilera will be there doing live nature.
42:41 Ben Roy's going to be there. He's going to do like a 30-min.
42:44 really cool science experiment,
42:46 and lots of experiments that kids can be a part of.
42:50 And we're going to have wonderful praise music.
42:53 Little Mirielle's going to be there. We have lots of talent
42:55 coming in. You are not going to want to miss this!
42:57 The first week of November Kids Time Live!
43:02 How many would like to come to that?
43:03 Amen! Well, I really hope you can come.
43:06 And if you can't come yourself tell all your friends
43:09 and neighbors and make sure that they come and join, too.
43:12 In closing I just wanted to encourage each one of you
43:18 to put children first on your prayer list.
43:22 That you would pray for this network.
43:24 That you would pray for our studios.
43:26 That you would pray that God would just bless these programs
43:32 on Kids Network to bring little hearts to Him.
43:35 I also would like to ask you to search your hearts
43:38 of what God would have you to do to help us.
43:41 I would like to see someone else say: "Well you know what?
43:44 I'm going to fund Bible Treasures to be on the air
43:47 so we don't have to wait four years to see it. Amen?
43:50 I would like for you to really pray about
43:53 what God would have you do. And I'm going to put a
43:55 screen up right now just of where you can donate to.
43:58 If you want to give me a call even and talk to me about it
44:02 all of my information is all on my website:
44:05 where to get a hold of me just brendawalsh.com.
44:07 And I really would ask for you to prayerfully consider
44:11 what God would have you do to help His children
44:14 around the world. Jesus is coming soon.
44:17 And remember everybody: It's Kids Time to share Jesus.
44:22 Thank you.
44:29 Thank you so much, Miss Brenda. What an incredible blessing!
44:32 Isn't she excited and energetic?
44:34 Doesn't she make you want to get involved in ministry
44:37 and share the gospel, especially with young people and old alike?
44:42 Praise the Lord for Miss Brenda.
44:44 Praise the Lord for what she's doing for our Kids Network.
44:47 And I kind of want to go on that Holy Land tour of the Bible.
44:50 Greg and I went once before and it was an incredible blessing.
44:53 It's my privilege now... We're going to shift just a moment
44:57 here for the rest of our program and we'll be doing some
45:00 music. We know that you all love music.
45:02 We know you love music at home.
45:04 And I want to invite Celestine Barry to come out.
45:07 She came... She and her husband came here to 3ABN about
45:10 six years ago, and she has an incredible heart of service.
45:14 A heart of ministry for other people.
45:17 She's a woman of God and I love when she sings
45:21 she sings from her heart.
45:23 She's our church secretary here at the Thompsonville SDA church.
45:26 And the song that she will be ministering now
45:29 is How Great Thou Art. And then after Celestine sings
45:33 we're also going to hear from Bro. Tim Parton.
45:37 He's a blessing here at the ministry. We're so thankful
45:41 God called him here. He's in charge... he's general
45:45 manager of our 3ABN Praise Him! network.
45:48 And praise the Lord for what God is doing in and through him
45:51 as well. So after Celestine sings
45:53 we'll get to hear from Tim Parton.
46:02 O Lord, my God,
46:07 when I in awesome wonder
46:13 consider all
46:17 the worlds Thy hands have made.
46:24 I see the stars,
46:28 I hear the rolling thunder...
46:34 Thy power throughout
46:39 the universe displayed.
46:46 Then sings my soul
46:50 my Savior, God, to Thee:
46:56 how great Thou art,
47:02 how great Thou art.
47:07 Then sings my soul
47:11 my Savior, God, to Thee:
47:18 how great Thou art,
47:22 how great Thou art.
47:29 When Christ shall come
47:33 with shout of acclamation
47:39 and take me home
47:43 what joy shall fill my heart!
47:50 Then I shall bow
47:54 in humble adoration
48:01 and there proclaim
48:05 "My God, how great Thou art! "
48:12 Then sings my soul
48:16 my Savior, God, to Thee:
48:22 how great Thou art,
48:28 how great Thou art.
48:33 Then sings my soul
48:37 my Savior, God, to Thee:
48:44 how great Thou art,
48:48 how great
48:51 Thou art...
48:55 how great Thou art,
48:59 how great
49:02 Thou art!
49:10 Amen!
53:13 Amen! Beautiful!
53:16 Yvonne, you love his playing? Oh, I love his playing
53:20 and I love his feet. His feet? Have you ever noticed...
53:23 have you ever noticed his feet while he's playing?
53:25 You've got issues. They go like this. You've got issues
53:27 you like somebody's feet, right?
53:28 Oh, you like how he taps you mean!
53:31 I love how he taps. You all see his feet up there?
53:33 He taps the... I don't know how you do that AND play.
53:36 I can't walk and chew gum at the same time.
53:39 You can do it. Beautiful, Tim! Brenda, what an incredible gift!
53:42 I love listening to Tim play and I especially loved it
53:47 when he came on Kids Time and he played for us.
53:49 So I was really excited and you're probably going to air
53:53 till Jesus comes, you know, on Kids Time.
53:56 I like puttin' him on the spot because he's a professional,
53:59 right? You can put 'em... You've gotta do a little bit
54:02 of the bumble bee... What's that called?
54:04 In My Heart There Rings A Melody.
54:05 Yeah... In My Heart There Rings A Melody.
54:08 Maybe do a little bit of it. Yeah... go ahead.
54:12 Watch his feet.
55:03 AMEN! Whoo!
55:06 I thought I saw a bumble bee over there.
55:10 I was going to swat it away from him.
55:12 Wow! Have you ever seen hands move so fast? Amen and amen!
55:15 What an incredible talent. Thank you so much for what you do!
55:19 We have a new Praise Him! music channel.
55:21 Ya'll are going to love it, and Tim's the general manager
55:24 of that. Of course we have Brenda with the Kids Network.
55:27 And 3ABN continues to grow. Amen!
55:30 And we couldn't do it without you. So we're going to take
55:32 just this moment before this program ends
55:35 to thank all of you for your love and your prayers
55:37 and financial support of 3ABN.
55:40 We don't have anything put away for a rainy day.
55:43 We don't... If we're down, we're down.
55:46 We're dependent on the Holy Spirit impressing each and every
55:50 one of you. And we don't talk about it too often,
55:53 but we just want you to pray and ask the Holy Spirit
55:55 what He would have you to do.
55:57 And even those of you here at Camp Meeting
55:59 if the Lord's impressing you to do something...
56:01 Someone just handed Jill an envelope while ago
56:05 had $10,000 in it.
56:07 Amen! Wow! Isn't that amazing? Praise the Lord!
56:09 Amen amen amen! So unexpected... God knows the needs
56:12 and He supplies them. But one preacher said...
56:15 he said: "Folks, we've got all the money we need... "
56:18 'cause they got tired of him raising money for a new
56:21 addition... "Got all the money we need. "
56:23 They started clapping they were so happy.
56:25 He said: "But the problem is it's still in your pockets. "
56:28 So that's kind of the case here. We've got all the money we need
56:32 but it's still in the pockets... But you know what?
56:33 We really do. God has blessed abundantly more than we could
56:36 ask or think. It wouldn't be a faith walk, too, though,
56:38 if we had a gazillion dollars in the bank.
56:41 So it really is a faith walk and trusting in Jesus.
56:44 God allows each one of us to be a blessing and to help support
56:48 Kids Network. Amen! Yvonne, the next speaker
56:51 in a little bit then we'll re-introduce him
56:53 to the new audience. But one of your favorites, right?
56:55 Oh, he is! Pastor John Bradshaw
56:58 is absolutely one of my favorites. He's compelling;
57:01 he's a man of God. You know, you can just tell
57:04 when someone has a connection with God and they study the Word
57:08 and Pastor Bradshaw has that connection and studies the Word.
57:11 So I am super excited that he's here.
57:14 Looking forward to his sermon tonight.
57:16 Absolutely. We're glad that you all are here.
57:19 And again, those of you at home: thank you for joining us
57:21 as you do each and every day. What we're going to do:
57:23 in just a moment we're going to take just a short break.
57:25 Don't go away... we'll be back in just a moment.
