Snail mail. 02:19 It's not out of style yet. No, it's not. 02:22 And we still get emails, of course, phone calls... 02:24 That's right. 02:25 People even through social media, 02:28 reaching out to us, but this right here, 02:29 there's just a number of names 02:31 I have like Celia, and Jackie, Marcella, 02:35 Mark, Carmel, Lorraine, Hodge and Malcolm, 02:41 Christine, Ravina, Gladys, 02:44 and the list just goes on and on. 02:46 And this right here just represents 02:48 one day this came across my desk this week. 02:51 And these are people that have actually 02:53 not only written to us, 02:54 but they've actually supported us 02:55 starting supporting us financially. 02:57 Amen. 02:58 And we wanna say thank you because it's evangelism. 03:00 And you have evangelism on your heart. 03:02 And we just wanna say thank you again 03:03 for your financial support for 3ABN. 03:05 Something else we did that I wanna just mention too 03:07 because this whole COVID-19 and being homebound. 03:11 We've all been kind of homebound, 03:12 not really going out much. 03:13 That's right. We've been wearing masks. 03:16 We have. 03:17 I just started wearing masks 'cause here in Illinois, 03:20 you have to wear a mask if you go in a public place... 03:21 That's right. 03:23 And, of course, we've had that with our employees here 03:24 if you lack that social distancing, 03:26 but I just were in Kroger for the first time this week. 03:28 Yeah, so it's just been interesting 03:30 how it's really been changing us, 03:31 but changing our lives. 03:33 So on YouTube, that's just one way that 3ABN, 03:35 and you may be watching on YouTube right now, 03:37 but it's this is what's amazing and for just the growth that 03:40 has taken place because people are homebound. 03:42 They can't go out. 03:43 So 3ABN has become a resource 03:45 talking about Resource Center for you spiritually, 03:48 for your kids for many different health, 03:51 for many different aspects. 03:53 And we've just seen a phenomenal growth. 03:55 Just the last 28 days, YouTube alone watching 3ABN, 04:01 there has been 63.4 million minutes 04:06 watched on YouTube only. 04:07 That's amazing. That's not satellite. 04:09 That's not the downlink. That's not the cable stations. 04:11 That's not Roku. 04:12 That's not any of the other platforms, that is YouTube... 04:13 That's not Amazon Fire, that's not the apps. 04:16 FiOS, none of that. 04:17 That's just on YouTube alone, 04:19 and then the other ways we're able to track it. 04:20 It is incredible the growth is taking place. 04:22 Amen. 04:24 Because I think, you know, I'm reminded of Hebrews 10. 04:27 I just wanna read a scripture here. 04:28 I'm reminded of Hebrews 10:25, 04:30 it says, "Do not forsake the assembling 04:33 of ourselves together, as is the manner of some, 04:35 but exhorting one another, and so much more 04:38 as you see the Day approaching." 04:40 Yeah. 04:42 And it's just amazing to me with the times that we live in, 04:44 we can't assemble together, 04:46 we can't meet together in church 04:48 so what are we to do in the midst of that? 04:50 That's where 3ABN comes in. 04:53 As Greg shared those statistics, 04:54 as you see the growth of 3ABN, 04:57 as you see so many more people who are homebound, 05:00 people who are longing for hope and encouragement, 05:02 people are reaching out to this ministry 05:06 and gaining hope, and help, and courage, and strength. 05:10 So today, we wanna talk about the COVID, 05:12 the 3ABN COVID-19 Resource Center. 05:15 These are evangelistic tools. 05:16 These are ways we connect with you. 05:19 These are spiritually strengthening tools 05:21 for young and old alike. 05:24 So we just wanna introduce our family we got here. 05:26 That's right. 05:27 Yeah, we have Pastor John Lomacang. 05:29 Thank you for being here with us. 05:30 Good to be here with Morikone' s. 05:32 I appreciate you and your wife. 05:34 It's interesting times we live in right now, 05:36 isn't it, Pastor? 05:37 Oh, I think that's a terribly amazing understatement. 05:41 What would be a good way to describe 05:42 what we're experiencing now, Pastor, 05:44 'cause you're right words can't seem to even describe. 05:45 Yeah, we are literally under a paradigm shift. 05:49 I mean, this is not just in the world. 05:51 You see... 05:53 I'll let you introduce the next guests first 05:54 before I go into it, but right now 05:56 we're under a global paradigm shift, 05:59 and I'll talk about that in just a moment. 06:00 It's incredible. 06:02 It's exciting to be alive in this time 06:04 in earth's history for sure. 06:05 It is. And we have Aunt Francine. 06:08 Her name is Francine Bergmann. Sitting about six feet away. 06:11 But we call you Aunt Francine because that's your name 06:15 as Kids Network General Manager. 06:17 And we're just so glad to have you here. 06:19 And I just wanna give a shout out, 06:20 you're doing an incredible job 06:22 and we're grateful for what you're doing. 06:23 Well, it's a wonderful team 06:25 and I'm honored to be a part of it 06:26 because it's us working together. 06:29 So thank you and it's not me, 06:31 it's Christ shining hopefully through me. 06:33 Amen. 06:34 We appreciate you and your family 06:35 'cause you have, of course, your husband Jason Bergman 06:37 is our CFO here at 3ABN doing an incredible job, 06:40 then your daughter, Amanda. 06:42 We had the fun privilege of traveling together 06:44 just before this whole shutdown, 06:47 we were in Trinidad and Tobago, and it's so fun to be 06:48 able to go out and meet the family. 06:50 It is. 06:51 But we're talking about again, the connection. 06:52 I know that you receive emails even from children 06:55 even during this pandemic, it says a lot. 06:57 It's very powerful because some of them are scared 06:59 because they're seeing death or they're hearing about it, 07:02 but it's also a time that the family can regroup 07:05 and spend time together as a family. 07:06 That's right. 07:08 And I find that with my daughter 07:09 that's so important is spending that time 07:10 and being able to search the scriptures. 07:13 And we can talk about that a little bit here, 07:15 but yeah, I mean, that is the wonderful time 07:18 even in the evilness of this pandemic, 07:22 it can regroup the family 07:24 and really put priorities straight. 07:26 Yeah, kind of refocus. 07:28 And I, yeah, and we're gonna be talking about resources. 07:30 So we're gonna be talking about some incredible resources 07:32 that Francine has available for you young people 07:35 or even young at heart. 07:36 Can we say that? Yes. 07:37 It's true. Very good. 07:39 So we'll talk about that in a moment. 07:40 We will and later after we go to the music. 07:42 We're gonna have Jason Bradley and Tim Parton on, 07:45 so this program, we're specifically 07:47 focusing on that website. 07:48 If you just go to 3abn.tv 07:51 there's a red button right below the banner, 07:53 it says COVID-19 Resources, you click on that 07:57 and everything we're gonna talk about today 07:59 is on the spiritual resources, Sabbath School in church, 08:03 children's resources, accompanying study guides, 08:06 and videos, and crafts for your children, 08:10 3ABN's podcast that has been launched, 08:13 and community resources. 08:15 So all of that we're gonna talk about in this program. 08:17 And I was looking down and yes, 08:18 I was looking down at my phone or on TV, 08:21 and I'm just bringing up the app 08:22 and it's actually on the app as well the Resource. 08:24 So the website 3abn.tv, then you can go to the 3ABN, 08:28 and you can go to 3ABN on your phone, 08:29 like I'm looking at right here. 08:31 And this has a little red button, 08:32 like you said, you can just click on that. 08:34 And it will take you to this incredible 08:36 Resource Center, which we're gonna expound upon. 08:37 Absolutely. 08:39 So, Pastor John, you were talking about 08:40 the amazing times that we live in. 08:41 The paradigm shift. Yeah, we are. 08:43 I mean, I am, I don't wanna use the phrase loosely, 08:47 but I have studied Bible prophecy, 08:49 you know, very well 34 years of and Revelation to Daniel, 08:54 kind of my eyes open up, they light up. 08:56 That's the book if you want to really get me excited. 08:59 You just talked about Daniel and Revelation. 09:01 I would agree because your eyes do light up 09:02 and Jill can 09:04 'cause on the Sabbath School lessons on, 09:05 you just said Daniel Revelation recently. 09:07 Yeah, just... You enjoy it. 09:09 And not least of those which, you know, Revelation says 09:12 I, John, so and so 09:14 I have a personal connection to it, 09:15 but we are living in a paradigm shift. 09:17 Let me just kind of summarize it very quickly 09:19 'cause I know our time is limited, 09:21 but the paradigm shift, 09:22 the Bible talks about it is in Revelation Chapter 13. 09:24 You know, Revelation Chapter 13, 09:26 gives us a picture of two powers. 09:29 You know, we know according to Bible prophecy, 09:31 there have been four great world empires, 09:33 Babylon, Medo-Persia, Greece, and Rome. 09:36 And the power of Rome is the power 09:37 that existed on a pagan platform 09:40 before the days of Christ 168 years 09:43 before the birth of Christ, 09:45 but the Bible said that that power is gonna exist 09:47 all the way to the very end of time, 09:49 beginning as a pagan power, 09:51 then metamorphosing as a religious power, 09:54 but then taken on a religiopolitical, 09:57 as the Bible says that fourth piece 09:59 will be different from all of the beasts 10:01 that were before it. 10:02 It shall devour the whole earth, 10:04 trampled it down and break in pieces, 10:05 Daniel Chapter 7, but now so, 10:08 but that power received a temporary wound in 1798, 10:12 but America started rising in 1776. 10:15 So think about the rise 10:16 of America 1776 in the United States, 10:18 22 years later, 10:20 the Roman power receives a deadly wound, 10:22 but the Bible said that wound will be healed. 10:24 And when it is healed, all the world will wonder. 10:26 Well, the 1929 under Benito Mussolini, 10:29 the Vatican City was given by the Italian government 10:31 to the power of Rome, 10:33 but the wound began to be healed in 1929. 10:36 It wasn't fully healed. That's right. 10:38 Because the only time a wound 10:40 could be healed is whatever caused it has to be reversed. 10:44 So from 1929, to the present, we have been living in a world 10:48 where in America primarily, Rome didn't have much power 10:52 and I'm talking about not people, 10:53 but the system of Rome, 10:55 the Vatican didn't have much power 10:56 in the United States for many, many years. 10:59 That's why when President Kennedy 11:00 was gonna become a president, people were concerned 11:04 because of his religious beliefs, 11:05 being a Catholic by faith, 11:07 but he did not allow his politics to infect. 11:09 I mean, his religion to infect his politics. 11:12 But something had happened in America 11:15 because the Bible, you know, 11:16 when we read Revelation 13:11, speaking about America, 11:20 America came into existence, to present to the people 11:24 that are American citizens two gifts, 11:28 our religious freedom, 11:30 and a government that's based on a republic, 11:33 meaning by the people, for the people, grassroots up, 11:36 in Europe during the Dark Ages it was top down. 11:40 And the people had no options. But in America, it's bottom up. 11:44 People decide they vote for their candidates, 11:47 but God brought America into existence to give us that. 11:51 There's two-horned beast, 11:53 but the very same dragon that gave Rome its power. 11:56 All of a sudden it says in Revelation 13:11, 11:59 that the two-horned beast representing America 12:02 will eventually speak like a dragon. 12:03 That's right. 12:05 So you see, the very dragon that Satan, 12:08 Revelation 12:7, 9 somehow the power of darkness 12:14 is gonna grip America, 12:16 and then America is gonna begin to speak legislatively. 12:19 That's how any government speaks, 12:22 but what happened in America is in 1976. 12:27 In New York City in Yankee Stadium, 12:28 Pope John Paul II made a statement. 12:30 I wanna read it to you. 12:32 Because we are under a global competition 12:34 is called the millennial endgame. 12:36 I'm gonna be very candid 12:37 because I believe we're in the time of the end, 12:39 no time to dilly-dally, 12:41 and this gives even more urgency to that booklet, 12:44 as well as the proclamation of the three angels' messages. 12:47 But in 1976, Pope John Paul II 12:49 in Yankee Stadium in New York City 12:50 made the statement about the grand design. 12:54 Now on one side, we know the grand design 12:56 according to what Malachi Martin said 12:58 in the book Keys of This Blood, 13:00 the Roman hierarchy believes that 13:03 it is their God given commission 13:05 to control the world. 13:07 But how can you control the world 13:09 when America is in the way 13:10 because America is not allowing that control. 13:12 But listen to the statement, it's a powerful statement 13:14 on page 14 to 16 in the book 13:17 Keys of This Blood by Malachi Martin. 13:20 It's a chilling statement, but I'll read the whole thing. 13:22 "Willing or not, ready or not, 13:26 we are all involved in an all-out, no-holds-barred, 13:30 three-way global competition." 13:32 Three-way, why three-way? 13:34 Because the competition is who's gonna be 13:35 the first one world power 13:37 in the early third millennium, which we're in now. 13:41 And that three-way global competition 13:42 was between the Capitalists 13:44 with the United States and its allies, 13:46 the Vatican, and Communism. 13:50 Well, we know as we sit here, Communism in Russia is dead. 13:53 Well, how did that die? 13:55 Well, two of the competitors Ronald Reagan 13:57 and the Vatican got together 13:58 and brought down the walls at Eastern Europe, 14:00 we all applauded, but what we did not know 14:03 that was a test 14:04 of the three-way global competition 14:06 cannot bring any political system down. 14:09 But now we have only have two powers, 14:11 the Vatican and the United States. 14:12 Well, according to Revelation 13, 14:14 neither is gonna bring the other down, 14:16 they're gonna coalesce together. 14:18 The second beast, 14:19 the United States is gonna make concessions 14:21 with the first beast Rome, and the Bible says 14:23 then that coalition is gonna come together. 14:26 So in that mindset, 14:27 listen to the rest of the quotation. 14:31 "Most of us are not competitors, however. 14:32 We are the stakes. 14:34 For the competition is about 14:35 who will establish the first one-world system 14:38 of government that has ever existed 14:41 in the society of nations. 14:43 It is about who will hold 14:44 and wield the dual power of authority and control," 14:47 watch this, "over each of us as individuals 14:49 and over all of us together as a community, 14:53 over the entire six billion people 14:55 expected by demographers to inhabit the earth 14:59 by early in the third millennium. 15:01 The competition is all-out because, 15:03 now that it has started, 15:05 there is no way it can be reversed 15:07 or called off. 15:08 No holds barred because, 15:10 once the competition has been decided, 15:12 the world and all that's in it," 15:14 watch this, "our way of life 15:16 as individuals and as citizens of the nations, 15:18 our families and our jobs, 15:21 our trade and commerce and money, 15:24 our educational system 15:25 and our religions and our cultures, 15:30 even the badges of our national identity, 15:33 which most of us have always taken for granted, 15:36 'all will have been powerfully and radically altered forever." 15:41 And here's how it ends. 15:42 "No one can be exempted from its effects. 15:45 No sector of our lives will remain untouched." 15:48 Yeah, that's powerful. That's a powerful statement. 15:50 Yeah. So that was made in 1976. 15:52 Now the grand design, 15:54 it doesn't matter who's in the Vatican. 15:55 The grand design is the grand design. 15:58 It doesn't matter who's in the White House 16:00 because Revelation already predicts 16:02 the movement of America... 16:03 Yeah, it's prophetic I mean, 16:05 we're seeing prophecy being fulfilled. 16:06 And I think, Pastor, this is what's amazing 16:07 because I mean, 3ABN stands right here 16:09 being able to still proclaim even though we're shut down. 16:11 Yes. Yeah. 16:12 So what I see here, Pastor, this is another sermon. 16:15 This is what's coming up, 16:16 we got either miniseries coming up, Pastor, 16:18 something because, you know, you're touching on 16:19 something he's trying to encapsulate this, 16:21 I mean just, there's so much information 16:22 'cause I'm thinking about 3ABN Worship Hour 16:24 in this we've been able to present 16:26 where we are in the end times 16:28 and hopefully you've been enjoying that 16:30 that happens on Sabbath morning. 16:31 And also we're doing it Sunday 16:33 as well in the couple other times, isn't it? 16:34 Sabbath morning at 10 am and Sunday morning at 11 am. 16:37 Yes, absolutely. 16:38 But, Pastor, tell me why the Word of God like this 16:40 'cause, you know, you're involved 16:42 with the 3ABN Worship Hour, you know, 16:43 and being able to present a message to the people 16:46 'cause during this time of no church 16:48 doesn't mean people just sit back 16:49 sleep all day Sabbath... 16:51 We need church. We still need the Word. 16:53 So why is the Worship Hour you think important? 16:55 Well, you know, just to make a plug 16:57 because our Worship Hour that 3ABN has sermon at 10:00. 17:00 Yes. But I preach at 11:00. 17:01 That's right, the Thompson Church. 17:03 Can I give the site? Please, absolutely. 17:04 Because if you wanna see another sermon 17:05 that I'm covering this actually in its detail. 17:07 Okay. 17:08 You can go to Tvsdac, 17:11 that's Thompsonville SDA Church, 17:13 Tvsdac.org and click on live stream 17:17 and you'll be able to join us 17:18 at 11 o'clock every Sabbath morning, 17:21 right after the sermon that's presented on 3ABN. 17:23 Now the reason why this is so significant, 17:25 you know, we're under the social, 17:27 economic, religious, and political paradigm. 17:31 And think about it, Greg and Jill. 17:33 Right now America and the world is facing 17:36 something that it never has before. 17:38 We are socially separated, 17:40 but we must remain spiritually connected. 17:41 Absolutely. 17:43 So we could, it could be easily I mean, 17:44 people could easily go to sleep 17:45 spiritually and even physically right oh, 17:47 this is the time just to kick back 17:49 and see what happens. 17:50 And I praise the Lord that our church 17:51 is not sleeping at Thompsonville 17:53 because right now we are involved in evangelism, 17:56 we have chosen four communities 17:59 to get the COVID-19 what's next booklet out. 18:03 Thompsonville, I received mine in the mail. 18:05 I got mine in the mail too. This is right here. 18:07 This is Jason Bradley's copy actually. 18:09 It just came in, but absolutely. 18:10 So it came to Thompsonville 18:11 and it's also going to West Frankfort. 18:13 It's going to Benton. It's going to Johnson City. 18:16 And Dee, our treasurer said 18:17 we're thinking about Galatians now. 18:18 Good. 18:20 So our church is involved in evangelism 18:22 with this booklet. 18:23 And that's the one side, 18:25 but, you know, the challenge of today is, 18:27 as we see, and this is what's exciting to me. 18:30 As we see Revelation coming together, 18:33 what's happening is we know 18:34 that everything that happens has four impacts 18:36 social, economic, political, and religious. 18:39 Now the church is gonna be the one impacted mostly 18:43 as a member of the World Economic Forum 18:46 on the World Economic Stage, 18:48 they're not talking about it like 18:49 from a religious perspective. 18:50 Of course, not. 18:52 We're just talking about the social, political, 18:53 and economic restructuring 18:55 that has to take place because right now, 18:57 Greg and Jill, and Francine, and our viewers, and listeners, 19:01 right now, think about it, 19:03 the church has been shut down for no religious reason. 19:06 Right. That's right. 19:07 And stores they choose who can sell 19:09 and who cannot, who can buy, and who cannot. 19:12 And thirdly, something that we never thought would happen. 19:14 We know it's the stimulus package 19:16 is to help people that are out of work. 19:18 We understand that, 19:19 but it's taken on a government control mechanism where, 19:23 you know, the government's 19:24 not infusing money into society. 19:26 And the question I've asked myself 19:27 incessantly is how can a nation that's trillions in debt 19:31 pump trillions into the economy? 19:34 Because we are under 19:35 a global economic reconstruction 19:37 and the Bible says that. 19:39 And so at a time like this. 19:41 At a time when it's critical 19:43 that we get this gospel message out. 19:45 Yes. This is what 3ABN wants to do. 19:48 Absolutely. 19:49 This is why this website was created. 19:52 So that you at home can access church. 19:56 You're saying, "I can't go to my church," 19:58 but you can go to 3abn.tv every week. 20:01 We upload a brand new sermon from the 3ABN Worship Hour. 20:05 It starts out with some music. 20:06 Tim Parton prayer music. 20:08 Then different speakers, 20:10 Pastor John Lomacang, Pastor Kenny Shelton, 20:12 Pastor Ryan Day, myself, John Dinzey. 20:14 I'm trying to think if we've had any others, 20:16 but there's several on a rotation basis. 20:19 Yeah, Brian as well. 20:21 So, every Friday night, it's uploaded for those of you 20:24 in Australia or other places. 20:26 And you might say, "Well, I'm in church right now." 20:29 So, we uploaded early to YouTube 20:31 so that you can access it early. 20:34 And then, of course, 20:36 we always have the Sabbath School Panel 20:37 and we're hearing from people all over the world who say, 20:40 I'm studying with you. 20:41 So that's just one aspect of the website, 20:45 the 3ABN Resource Center 20:47 where we have Sabbath School and church 20:49 but we also have that for kids. 20:51 So, Aunt Francine, talk to us about the kids? 20:53 I'm delighted and there, 20:56 the issue was when we were at home 20:59 and there was no Sabbath school, 21:00 we were seeing that 21:02 we wanted to have worship with Amanda. 21:04 And yes, we like your sermons and we appreciate them. 21:07 But we wanted something 21:08 that was more geared for our daughter. 21:10 And so, we decided, we were talking and I'm like, 21:13 we need to do something so that she can study the Word of God. 21:16 And so that is why we decided to work on some lessons, 21:19 they really tie in to the PowerPoint junior lessons. 21:23 However, we have tried to make them 21:25 so that they are a bigger range for the kids. 21:28 And so, we're hoping that they can come again to that 21:32 3abn.tv website under the COVID red tab. 21:36 You can find these resources 21:38 and there are lessons that have questions 21:40 and you can today if you wanted to, or you can. 21:43 Can I see those? Yes, absolutely. 21:46 Thank you. Absolutely. 21:47 And so, there are questions. 21:49 There are questions that you can go through. 21:52 And... Go ahead. I'm sorry. 21:53 So this one right here says speaking up under persecution. 21:57 That's the topic for this little lesson. 21:59 Well, it's great. And it's based off of Acts 7. 22:01 Right. 22:03 And so those are Bible texts that we are focusing on. 22:06 So we're hoping that 22:07 the family will read that text together 22:09 first before answering the questions, 22:11 and then again, 22:12 that's getting them to look in the Bible. 22:14 And then we have some crossword puzzles. 22:16 That pertains to the lessons but which one, 22:18 what does that look like? 22:20 This one is seeing Jesus is life changing. 22:22 What are some of the other one? Putting on Christ. 22:25 Oh, nice. Nice. 22:27 So we have God's love is for everyone. 22:29 That was a recent one. 22:30 And so, yes, 22:31 we have several of them on our... 22:33 It makes a difference when you help someone. 22:35 Oh, I like that, Acts 4. Yes. 22:37 And so, with that, 22:39 we have some little game activities. 22:40 Sometimes we do a little research, 22:43 I mean, a hunt like a treasure hunt 22:45 around the house. 22:47 Or sometimes we put these cards face down 22:49 and you have to kind of look for the tag. 22:51 So remember where the questions were, 22:53 so you can play those little games. 22:54 And then we have some crafts for the kids 22:59 and they all tie in with a Bible lesson. 23:02 And so, and then we come up with, 23:05 like last week, it was earthly globe, 23:07 and I believe this week is going to be 23:09 the killdeer because they, they pretend, they deceive 23:12 and some of the early current correct, 23:14 because they're a little deceptive 23:16 or a little, you know, they try to trick. 23:18 They try to lead you away from the nest because... 23:21 And it comes back to again, what we were studying 23:23 in the Bible and prophecy is that others 23:28 will lead us away from God. 23:30 And so again, you know, that's what the killdeer does, 23:34 she tries to send off you in a different direction 23:37 to protect her babies. 23:39 And so, she potentially slammed and you're going after her 23:41 when really she's protecting her babies. 23:43 And so that is, you know, 23:45 a lot of these tie into these different lessons. 23:47 So we hope that you at home will find these resources and, 23:52 and again, it's encouraging the family to study together. 23:55 So I would like to encourage you to do that. 23:58 So let's just make sure that 23:59 we get this right so you go to 3bn.tv. 24:02 You click on the little red tab 24:04 that says COVID-19 3ABN Resource Center. 24:06 You scroll down, I'm looking this on my phone, 24:08 I see health, the different links, 24:10 spirituality, Pastor. 24:12 So I can click the links here for Sabbath School, 24:14 past sermons. 24:15 That's great. 24:17 Communities there which we'll talk about, 24:18 kids there at the bottom, then you've got the crafts, 24:21 the lessons and the little activities. 24:23 You're right. Boy, that's great. 24:25 And we have a video, 24:28 don't you do a video for, Aunt Francine. 24:29 Many times we do a video. 24:31 We haven't been doing them every week 24:33 because we don't want to take over every week 24:36 and have people bored, but I wanted to do more lessons 24:39 on those and tying them in, just hoping that 24:41 we get some more people to view them. 24:43 So yes, we want to do these videos, 24:45 and hopefully we can get a little longer. 24:46 I think we've had trouble downloading them but... 24:48 Yes. So, but I'm excited. 24:52 So again, thank you for what you're doing at home 24:54 to support our young people. 24:55 Yeah, amen. 24:57 And I know you've had 24:58 a little addition to Kids Network. 25:00 May I invite my little additions though, 25:04 she is about 11 weeks old and her name is Ginger. 25:10 This is Amanda.

I know my dog was missing. 25:40 She has been just a jewel and so we're hoping that 25:43 when the kids come on the set, they enjoy her. 25:46 And she's not very shy, she's not always this calm, 25:49 she's still a puppy. She's has a lot of energy. 25:52 So we're hoping that the kids find fun with her. 25:55 Oh, she's really cute. 25:57 I know that Karen and Mitch take good care of her. 26:01 They do. And have a good time with her. 26:04 I saw Karen this morning 26:05 getting her ready for the program. 26:07 And I really appreciate them 26:09 because and that's what we were praying for 26:11 somebody to watch them 26:12 because our family travels so much 26:14 and it wouldn't be fair to Ginger. 26:15 And so, I wanted to make sure Ginger was well taken care of 26:18 and she is just a ball of love and we just love her to pieces. 26:22 I can see Amanda, your daughter is just, 26:24 she loves her too.

No, it's free. 40:05 Free. 40:06 And so, under this, we're excited like 40:08 Tim saying to add a lot of other things 40:09 under This Is 3ABN. 40:10 So right now, 100 Days of Prayer, 40:12 Sabbath School's going to be 40:13 added in here just shortly and just... 40:14 Gonna do Praise Him. 40:16 Praise Him is going to have a podcast. 40:17 Okay. 40:18 Maybe Jason, Dare to Dream, we can add something there. 40:20 That would be, you know what?

Hi, CJ. 40:35 So, you know, he's very much into podcast too 40:36 and a lot of ideas are being put out there too. 40:38 So we're very excited 40:40 about this avenue for evangelism, 40:41 like saying, this is not just fluff 40:43 and just like, hey, let's do this. 40:45 No, there's a reason, there's a purpose. 40:46 And that's again to share the love of God. 40:48 Yeah. 40:49 And then this podcast is something that you can share. 40:51 That's the exciting thing.

Yes, @3abn.org. 46:55 And keep in mind, 46:56 we may read your testimony on the air. 46:59 So we won't give your last name, 47:01 but we may read your testimony. 47:03 And you never know whose life it will touch. 47:05 You know, it is really sad 47:07 when you think about where we're live... 47:09 You know, the times we're living in for those that, 47:11 you know, like I mentioned earlier 47:12 at the beginning of this program, 47:14 but all the correspondence 47:15 that we're receiving through snail mail, 47:16 I get to see quite a bit of that. 47:18 And a number of them are saying, 47:20 it's coming from some elderly people, 47:22 and they're saying, you know, 47:23 I'm here in a health care facility, 47:26 like a nursing home, 47:28 and my family cannot come and see me, 47:30 the exposure to even the workers is very limited 47:33 just because everyone's trying to protect everybody. 47:36 And they're just saying how lonely I am, 47:37 but thank you 3ABN, 47:39 and so 3ABN is into that facility. 47:41 So, these are times don't forget 47:43 to call your loved one 47:44 because you can call them on the telephone. 47:45 That's okay. 47:47 You know, reach out in other ways because... 47:48 You can FaceTime.
