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?

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.

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. |
