00:01 As you're well aware,
00:03 we're living in unprecedented times. 00:05 Join us now for today's special program. 00:12 I want to spend my life 00:18 Mending broken people 00:23 I want to spend my life 00:29 Removing pain 00:34 Lord, let my words 00:39 Heal a heart that hurts 00:44 I want to spend my life 00:50 Mending broken people 00:55 I want to spend my life 01:00 Mending broken people 01:13 Hello, and welcome to another 3ABN Today program. 01:16 We're so glad that you joined us today. 01:18 Thank you for your prayers and financial support 01:20 for the ministry of 3ABN. 01:23 Now today's video is going to be a fun program, 01:25 as all Today programs are, 01:27 but we're gonna be going to a number of video rolls. 01:30 And normally when we go to ASI, 01:33 the International Convention, usually we go there, 01:35 3ABN has a booth, 01:37 we get to interact with a lot of other exhibitors, 01:40 other ministries that are there. 01:42 And, then of course, you see the main stage 01:44 and what happens at ASI. 01:45 Well, as you all know, 01:47 ASI didn't happen as it normally does. 01:49 ASI came here to 3ABN 01:51 and they did a virtual ASI International Convention 01:54 right here at 3ABN, 01:56 and a number of video rolls were provided for us 01:59 to be able to air. 02:01 So that's what we're doing today. 02:02 I know I love that about ASI 02:04 because the whole focus of ASI 02:06 is sharing Jesus in the marketplace, 02:10 whether you're a business person, 02:12 lay person, professional, 02:14 work in the church or don't work in the church, 02:16 it's still sharing Jesus in the marketplace. 02:20 And I love that about ASI. 02:21 And every time we go, as Greg mentioned, 02:23 we always bring back stories for you at home, 02:26 stories of ministries that are going and growing, 02:29 ministries that are sharing the gospel 02:32 in their corner of the world, 02:33 or sometimes they go overseas and share the gospel. 02:36 So we're so grateful for ASI 02:38 for providing these special rolls 02:41 featuring part of the ASI family, 02:44 featuring what God is doing. 02:46 And a lot of the rolls today, not all of them, 02:49 but many of them are centered on those 02:51 either young in physical age or young at heart. 02:55 Okay. 02:57 I'm not sure where do I fall in that? 02:58 Oh, you're young. Okay. Thank you, Baby. 02:59 Because if you're young, I'm young. 03:01 Yes, that's a good point. 03:02 You are young. 03:04 Yet but it's a blessing like you mentioned 03:05 when we were there at ASI normally our production crew, 03:07 of course, is working main stage. 03:08 But then we get to do the interviews 03:10 around the 3ABN booth. 03:11 We couldn't do it this year. 03:13 But I'm so excited 03:14 that we are still able to feature 03:16 a number of the ministries that are partnering with ASI. 03:18 And we love all of these ministries. 03:20 So we are so blessed, 03:21 we share them with you many times, 03:23 many of these ministries. 03:25 So the first one before we go to the first one, 03:27 I just want to share a scripture 03:29 because it goes with those who are young 03:30 or young at heart. 03:31 Remember, this is Matthew Chapter 19. 03:34 Remember when the little children 03:35 were brought to Jesus and the disciples, 03:37 they got kind of upset 03:39 'cause they thought the important people, 03:42 well, they are the ones who need to see Jesus 03:44 and clearly the children wouldn't be 03:46 in that category. 03:47 And in Matthew 19:14, Jesus said, 03:51 "Let the little children come to me, 03:54 do not forbid them, 03:56 for such is the kingdom of heaven." 03:59 And He laid His hands on them and He blessed them. 04:02 And so I just see the love of our Father, 04:05 the love of Jesus for little children 04:09 and we're all young at heart 04:10 and we all need to come to Him in that fashion. 04:13 The first place we're going to is actually a school. 04:16 This is Ouachita Hills College. 04:19 They have an academy. They do. 04:20 We've been there. 04:22 I know this school was started by Dr. Clark and his wife, 04:24 Mrs. Harriet Clark, they've done an incredible job. 04:27 Magda Rodriguez is the president now 04:29 of the college 04:30 and it's an amazing outreach ministry 04:35 for young people. 04:36 Really, as we've been to that campus 04:37 and it's gorgeous. 04:39 You know, it's out in nature. 04:40 You go down these back 04:41 when we were there a few years ago there, 04:43 some dusty dirt roads, 04:44 but just beautiful just opens up 04:46 into a beautiful campus 04:47 and it's amazing what God has done. 04:48 So we're going to hear an exciting report 04:50 from Ouachita Hills Academy and College. 04:56 It's so good. 04:57 You could join us this evening for ASI here, 05:00 Joshua and Dailyn. 05:02 I just would like you to explain 05:04 a little bit about canvassing 05:06 for those who aren't familiar with that program, 05:08 and also was curious, 05:10 is it a big part 05:11 of the Ouachita Hills curriculum? 05:15 So canvassing is a big part of Ouachita Hills curriculum. 05:19 We canvass throughout the semester, 05:21 we also canvas 05:22 during the summer and the winter break, 05:24 and canvassing is where we take on books 05:27 like The Great Controversy, 05:29 and The Desire of Ages, and Steps to Christ, 05:31 some books that help and inspire people, 05:33 we take those door to door, and we give them away, 05:36 we sell them, 05:37 and we just try to meet the needs of the people. 05:40 That's wonderful. 05:42 So I was curious, 05:44 has COVID-19 affected the canvassing program 05:48 at all this summer? 05:51 Um, well, it's interesting, 05:53 COVID-19 has affected the canvassing program 05:55 in a very positive way. 05:58 We've actually had phenomenal success 06:00 in this program, 06:02 I've been canvassing for three years, 06:04 and I've never saw the success that I've seen in this program. 06:08 So many books have gone out, 06:10 so many people are interested in The Great Controversy. 06:13 And I've seen, I saw that COVID-19 has helped us, 06:17 it helped people see a need, 06:19 it helped people think about eternity 06:23 and different things like that. 06:25 And it's been a blessing. 06:27 And we've just seen 06:28 amazing, amazing success in this program. 06:31 You know, that's really surprising to me, 06:33 because I would think that people would be afraid 06:35 to open their doors. 06:38 Yes, you know, we were like, surprised also, 06:41 because whenever we were coming to the program, 06:44 we were thinking that people would be very aware 06:48 and very kind of like apprehensive 06:50 to open their doors, 06:52 and even be willing to get any of these materials 06:54 with everything that's going on. 06:56 But we found 06:57 that God has actually turned this thing 07:00 into something good. 07:01 People are actually like 07:03 missing the contact with others, 07:07 and just having somebody come after so many, 07:11 you know, weeks of them just being isolated, 07:14 and bringing them hope for the future 07:17 that is found in God that has just, 07:20 it's been wonderful. 07:21 And so they're, 07:23 you know, the response that we've gotten 07:24 from the people 07:26 has been far better than any I've ever seen, 07:29 you know, in my short time of canvassing 07:31 and so, yeah, 07:32 we were also very, very surprised 07:34 at how things turned out. 07:36 You know, that makes a lot of sense. 07:38 Wow. 07:40 So I bet you meet a lot of interesting people 07:41 when you're out there. 07:43 So I wonder, can you share 07:45 somebody that stands out in your mind 07:47 that you met this summer? 07:50 Yeah, actually, this just happened 07:52 like the other day, like very recently. 07:57 Joshua dropped me off, he was the mobile one. 08:00 And he dropped me off at this gas station 08:02 right after lunch. 08:03 And I was not mentally prepared. 08:06 And I was not really willing to go either. 08:09 My initial response when he said, okay, Dailyn, 08:11 this is where you go, 08:12 I was like, I don't want to go. 08:16 But the Lord just kind of told me like, 08:18 be quick about it, just talk to this person. 08:21 And the gentleman I was speaking to, 08:23 he was not really interested. 08:24 He was super quick. He told me speak to my wife. 08:27 And so, I started canvassing them 08:29 on a children's book. 08:31 But the moment I pulled out The Great Controversy, 08:33 and I started canvassing her on that one, 08:37 she immediately froze, and she was like, 08:40 wow, you have no idea. 08:42 You might think this is a coincidence. 08:44 But yesterday, I was talking to my children 08:48 about what's in this book, 08:50 what you just told me that it's about, 08:52 and I just got off the phone right now with my brother. 08:55 And he was, I was telling him 08:58 that all of the riots and everything that's going on 09:00 is actually a sign that the end is near. 09:04 And then you come and you show me this book, 09:06 like you might think this is a coincidence, 09:09 but I know God sent you 09:11 and I know God sent these books. 09:13 And that just blew me away. 09:16 Because I've never seen God work like so clearly. 09:20 Just a few minutes right before I was dropped off 09:25 and I met this lady, 09:26 and I told her at canvas that I usually never use, 09:28 but the Lord works it out. 09:30 Amen. Praise the Lord. 09:32 And I know you shared earlier with me, Joshua, 09:35 a story about somebody too. 09:37 Do you want to share that? 09:39 Yeah, I was canvassing several weeks ago 09:42 and I had knocked on this door. 09:44 It was really nice home 09:46 and this gentleman came to the door. 09:48 And I began canvassing him and he was a bigger gentleman, 09:52 um, looked like 09:54 somebody that would not be 09:55 too interested in Christian books. 09:58 And, but I continue to tell him about our books, 10:00 tell him about The Great Controversy 10:01 and The Desire of Ages. 10:03 And he began showing interest. 10:05 And he ended up buying three books from me. 10:08 And after he bought the books from me, he said, 10:10 "You know, I believe in divine appointments, 10:13 and I believe that God sent you here." 10:15 He had been going 10:16 through a lot of different things, 10:18 and he had just lost his wife. 10:19 And I asked him if I could pray with him 10:21 after he bought the three books. 10:22 And after I asked him, if I could pray with him, 10:24 this gentleman began crying. 10:28 And he started crying and that's when he told me 10:29 that he had just lost his wife, his wife had died. 10:31 And he was going 10:33 through a lot of different things. 10:34 And I was able to wrap my arms around the guy 10:36 and we prayed together. 10:39 And he actually signed up for Bible studies, 10:41 I told him that we knew the pastor of the church 10:43 that we're staying at here in Mississippi, 10:44 the college drive on Seventh-day Adventist Church 10:47 in Pearl, Mississippi, 10:49 that the pastor would be willing to do 10:51 Bible studies with him. 10:52 And he was very, very interested 10:53 in the Bible studies. 10:55 He signed up and his name is Kelsey. 10:57 And so maybe we could keep Kelsey in your prayers. 11:01 Definitely. 11:02 We'll definitely pray for him. 11:04 You know, it's such an important work 11:06 that you're doing. 11:07 And, Dailyn, I know 11:09 that you have a passion for this, 11:11 because you told me earlier, Jesus is coming so soon, 11:14 and we need to get the word out. 11:15 And I totally agree. 11:17 And thank you so much for the work that you're doing. 11:20 We're going to keep you all in prayer. 11:22 God bless you. 11:24 Thank you so much. Thank you. 11:27 Amen. That's an incredible roll. 11:29 We're so grateful for Julia O'Carey, 11:31 of course, she conducted that interview 11:34 with Joshua Holly, 11:36 hopefully, I get this name right, 11:37 and Dailyn Patino. 11:40 I'm not sure I pronounced that right. 11:42 But so grateful for Ouachita and their outreach, 11:46 especially with canvassing. 11:48 And that was an incredible testimony 11:50 about how they didn't even want to go 11:52 to the gas station 11:53 and said, I'm not going to canvass here. 11:55 And then God just worked that amazing miracle out. 11:57 Oh, it really is, you know, 11:59 I'm always encouraged by the stories, 12:00 you know, that people share, 12:01 you know, God is still alive and well. 12:03 Now, I think it's really amazing too 12:04 because in the midst of COVID, 12:06 they're talking about that, too, 12:07 that they're still going out and able to share the gospel 12:09 and there are people that are searching for truth. 12:12 So what a way to do that is to put literature out there 12:14 and, of course, it helps the students 12:16 and, you know, with their expenses, 12:18 and it's just a, it's a win-win. 12:20 So praise the Lord for that. Amen. 12:21 We're going to another academy next. 12:24 This is Heritage Academy, 12:25 and Greg and I've had the privilege 12:26 and opportunity to be there as well and visit. 12:30 In fact, I did some of my student teaching. 12:33 We won't say how many years ago at Heritage Academy. 12:36 Don't forget you're young, Baby. 12:38 Thank you. Yes, that's right. 12:39 You're young. 12:40 Debbie Baker is the president of Heritage Academy. 12:43 She and her husband, Doug, of course, 12:45 lead out there with the ministry. 12:47 Julia O'Carey did this interview as well. 12:50 But before we go to it, 12:51 Heritage Academy is really known 12:53 for their disaster response. 12:56 I think of many of the different academies, 12:59 they jump in and help when there's a need, 13:02 when there's a disaster. 13:03 They've done actually over 30 relief responses. 13:06 Well, yeah. 13:08 And, you know, they had a tragedy 13:09 that came through a disaster, natural disaster 13:11 that came through earlier this year, 13:13 basically, right in their backyard. 13:15 So we're going to talk about that 13:16 in this video roll too. 13:17 Should we go to that? 13:19 Absolutely. All right. 13:20 Let's go to that roll right now. 13:22 It's so great to be here with you, Debbie Baker. 13:25 Debbie is the president of the Heritage Academy. 13:30 And that's in middle of Tennessee, right? 13:32 That's right. Yeah. 13:33 And you know, I love how Heritage Academy 13:35 is known for disaster response. 13:38 And you've done 30 plus disaster relief efforts. 13:43 And the one you did in March 13:45 is a little unique, a little different. 13:47 Can you tell me about that? Sure. 13:49 You know, we typically have to travel somewhere, 13:51 right, to respond. 13:52 We pack things up, we set up 13:54 where we're going to be staying, 13:55 what we're going to be doing, 13:57 this was in our own backyard. 13:58 As a matter of fact, it surprised everybody, 14:03 started in Nashville. 14:05 We all saw the news that night. 14:07 You know, there was, 14:09 there were storms in southern Kentucky. 14:11 We were told, you know, watch out for Nashville 14:14 and the morning commute, 14:16 it's going to be a little rough. 14:19 So everybody went to bed 14:20 thinking it was going to be okay. 14:22 And about 1 o'clock in Nashville, 14:24 the tornado hit 14:25 and moved east and struck our little community 14:29 just about a half an hour west of us, 14:31 in a place called Cookeville 14:33 and unfortunately those folks with 56 or so towers down, 14:39 got no warning. 14:41 And 19 people lost their lives that night. 14:43 Oh, that's terrible. 14:44 Right. It was. 14:47 You know, while we've been to places 14:48 where lot of lives have been lost, 14:50 it's different when it's in your community, 14:52 when it's your neighbors 14:54 and for us it was difficult 14:56 because, you know, 14:58 some of the people that we knew them 15:00 so we, there was no question that we were going to respond. 15:04 So we got up that morning, 15:06 most of us having been hunkered down 15:07 in our basements 15:09 or in our safe places that night, 15:11 and got up that morning to do what we could to help. 15:14 Wow. So what happened? 15:15 What did you guys do and who was involved? 15:17 Right. 15:19 Well, everybody, everybody, 15:20 Heritage knows you're all involved, right? 15:22 Everybody's trained in disaster response. 15:24 So everybody knew 15:25 and, of course, everybody knew 15:27 there was a problem, right? 15:28 Because we were all in our safe places for an hour. 15:31 So the tornado had gone up and over our campus, 15:34 never touched down there. 15:36 But up and over, and yeah, 15:37 I was in my basement hearing water flow backwards. 15:41 It was probably the most harrowing 15:43 I've personally been in before, 15:45 nothing like what our neighbors experienced. 15:47 But we packed everybody up, 15:49 we contacted 15:51 the disaster response folks in Cookeville 15:53 that were already hitting the ground running, 15:55 ask what we could do and started debris removal. 15:58 So we just started cleaning up people's houses 16:01 and, you know, cutting trees up and moving them to the yard 16:06 and to the street and things like that. 16:08 So, you know, that keeps everybody busy, 16:12 all kinds of debris to clean up so. 16:14 For sure. 16:15 And then after that, something special happened? 16:18 It did, it did. 16:20 That day, we worked all day doing that, 16:22 and that evening, the incident commander, 16:26 he's the guy kind of set by the county in charge 16:28 of that particular incident 16:30 and he asked me to meet him 16:32 at the community center in Cookeville. 16:34 And I met him there that evening and said, 16:37 we would like you to run this point of distribution, 16:40 a pod, we call it 16:41 and I had lots of experience 16:43 in pod establishment and running 16:45 and then disassembling before... 16:47 Now was this different? 16:48 This was different 16:50 because we had crazy outpouring, 16:52 not just from our own community 16:54 and people there, 16:55 but from around the country, even the world, 16:58 we had a container shipment from Australia sent to us, 17:03 in the midst of their fires, 17:04 they thought of a little Cookeville 17:06 and our needs. 17:08 So we had this huge SAMS 17:11 pretty much in this community center 17:13 to meet the needs of these folks 17:15 that had been displaced and... 17:17 So it was your job, 17:19 your school's job to distribute everything 17:22 that was pouring in? 17:23 That's right. 17:24 And typically with a pod, it's ice water, 17:27 the military meals ready to eat. 17:28 But this wasn't just that, this was everything. 17:32 I mean, from batteries to, you name it, 17:34 and the most incredible thing for me personally was that 17:39 after people went around our liaisons 17:41 that went with them listen to their stories. 17:44 And I had a little girl come there, 17:46 you know, I always told them if there's anything 17:48 that they need that you don't see here, 17:50 bring them to me and let me see what I can do. 17:52 And for me, that was incredible 17:54 for to hear their stories 17:56 and then be able to meet their needs. 17:58 And there was a little girl that came. 18:01 She could have been 20, 18:02 I'm going to try not to tear up. 18:04 It's a little intense, 18:05 but she lost her father and her brother... 18:07 In the, in the tornado? 18:08 In the tornado 18:10 and her mother was at Erlanger in Chattanooga, 18:12 in a coma, 18:13 and didn't know 18:15 that she had lost her husband and son. 18:16 And this little girl 18:18 couldn't have been 20 years old, 18:19 didn't know what to do. 18:21 And she just broke down. 18:22 And she said, My... 18:24 I asked her, 18:25 "Where's your brother and your father?" 18:27 And she said, "At the funeral home, 18:28 and I don't have any means to bury them." 18:32 And so, I praise God 18:34 that one of the things we could offer 18:36 were contacts with folks in the community that said, 18:38 I can't be there to do the dirty work, 18:40 but I can give money. 18:42 And so, I contacted a couple of churches 18:45 and a couple of individuals 18:46 and their entire funerals were covered. 18:49 Everything was taken care of. 18:51 She just walked away. 18:52 She gave me the biggest hug and she said 18:54 you don't know how this has changed our lives. 18:58 You know what a weight off of my shoulders. 19:00 Oh, Debbie, that gives me chills. 19:02 That is so beautiful. 19:03 Yeah, it's incredible. 19:05 So I have three or four day pod ended up being a six-week pod. 19:08 We stayed open even through COVID 19:10 ministering to our local community, 19:12 ministering to a lady that I met there 19:15 all the way through to even just this past week. 19:17 We put an awning on the outside of her new home. 19:21 And we have a fast friendship, I think for eternity so... 19:24 Wow, you know what? 19:26 I can just picture Jesus smile when He comes back, 19:29 saying, "Well done Heritage Academy. 19:32 You took care of My town Cookeville for Me." 19:36 Praise the Lord for that. 19:38 Thank you so much for sharing. 19:39 Thank you. 19:42 Amen. 19:43 I love to hear testimonies like that, 19:45 to hear how young people can get involved in ministry 19:50 and ministry takes many forms. 19:52 Ministry can look like helping someone like they did 19:56 with this disaster response. 19:57 Ministry can look like selling books 20:00 or passing out books 20:01 as Ouachita Hills Academy and College does 20:04 with the canvassing program. 20:05 Ministry can also take other forms. 20:08 We're going, the next interview will be done by Debbie Young 20:11 and, of course, we love Debbie Young as well. 20:13 She and Julia O'Carey 20:15 are such an integral part of the ministry of ASI. 20:18 They've both been here 20:19 with their respective ministries 20:21 here to 3ABN 20:22 and we're so grateful for them for doing these interviews. 20:25 But this interview Debbie did is with Tony Moore, 20:29 Biblical World Ministries. 20:31 And if you're familiar with 3ABN at all, 20:35 if you've watched 3ABN for any length of time, 20:37 I'm sure you've seen the programs 20:39 that he has produced, 20:41 Biblical World, 20:42 In The Footsteps of Paul is one of the programs 20:44 I think of specifically, 20:45 which is an amazing program because of the scenery. 20:48 Yeah. 20:50 And I think also, you know, the biblical truths 20:51 that he's bringing out 20:52 and, you know, and you love history, of course 20:54 and, of course, I know is very near and dear 20:56 to your heart. 20:57 So there's a new series that he's working on, 20:59 called the Grand Narrative, The Great Controversy theme, 21:02 can talk about that. 21:04 So let's go to this roll right now. 21:08 And we have Tony Moore with us from the Biblical World 21:11 who takes us to wonderful Bible lands 21:14 and brings those stories to life. 21:16 Tony, so glad to have you here with us. 21:18 Tell us a little bit about the Biblical World Ministry? 21:22 Oh, well, we have two wonderful programs 21:24 that people enjoy around the world, 21:26 The Footsteps of Paul 21:27 and Tracing the Footsteps of Jesus, 21:29 they enjoy them on Adventist television, 21:31 but it's a dimension that people don't often see 21:33 and that's the dimension of the study guides, 21:36 we have beautiful study guides that go along with it. 21:38 And it makes it excellent to use 21:40 with an evangelistic outreach 21:42 where a small group, 21:43 actually academies use it for bottle programs, 21:46 and people use it for homeschool, 21:47 a really wonderful resource. 21:50 So more than just the television program. 21:52 So tell us what's new with Biblical World? 21:55 Well, for several years, 21:56 we've been working on the Grand Narrative. 21:58 And this is a really ambitious project 22:00 49 episodes, 22:02 that we've kind of broken that down 22:04 into seven volumes, Debbie. 22:05 So it's not just 49 strung out, but seven volumes. 22:09 And this is really an exciting series. 22:12 That sounds pretty exciting. 22:14 Can you tell us a little bit about what you saw? 22:16 What does that mean, The Grand Narrative? 22:20 You might think of it as The Great Controversy theme. 22:23 So we actually begin post flood 22:26 as they go down into the land or Shinar 22:27 which history calls the land of Sumer 22:30 and that's where civilization begins. 22:32 And then we trace down through time, 22:35 again, seven volumes that will take us down 22:38 to the age of the early church. 22:40 So we basically cover all of that. 22:43 So it's really exciting. 22:44 It's really the theme of The Great Controversy, 22:46 trying to bring the Bible stories to life. 22:48 So I believe we have a video clip 22:50 that can actually give us a picture 22:51 of what we can expect? 22:54 That's right, this is from Volume I, 22:56 which is just being released this month. 22:59 Okay, well, let's take a look at that clip now. 23:48 The Bible identifies the Tigris and Euphrates 23:51 as two of the four rivers 23:53 flowing through the Garden of Eden. 23:56 Genesis, the first book in the Bible 23:58 describes how the Ark of Noah 24:00 came to rest on the mountains of Ararat 24:03 and how is the people moved eastward, 24:05 they found a plain in Shinar and settled there. 24:11 This plain of Shinar is the same plain as Sumer 24:15 that historians and researchers have identified 24:18 as the cradle of civilization. 24:21 Isn't it amazing to see how the Bible 24:23 and history dovetail together? 24:26 Hi, my name is Tony Moore, 24:28 and welcome to the world of the Bible 24:30 as we explore the places 24:32 where the biblical story actually happened. 24:35 In this fascinating series, 24:37 I will take you on location 24:39 to explore the world of the patriarchs, 24:42 the prophets and the kings. 24:45 We'll also explore the world of Jesus, 24:48 the apostles, the apocalypse, and even the church. 24:54 In this series, 24:55 we will trace the grand narrative 24:57 that ties together 24:58 this seemingly separated and isolated events 25:01 that have happened throughout time, 25:04 revealing God's hand and involvement 25:07 moving to the course of His story. 25:11 This grand narrative 25:12 flows to more than 4,500 years of time, 25:16 providing a common thread 25:18 tying together the past with the present. 25:21 This comprehensive theme 25:24 can also be called The Great Controversy, 25:27 since it chronicles the battles between good and evil 25:31 that have been unfolding since the beginning of time. 25:34 This grand sweep of the ages, 25:37 filmed on location 25:38 will bring many of these stories to life, 25:41 revealing the critical issues involved in this epic conflict. 25:45 Wow, that is really beautiful scenery, 25:48 I feel like I've just been dropped 25:49 into the middle of the Bible. 25:51 So I know that Volume I is finished. 25:54 Where are you with Volume II? 25:55 And then tell us about the current project, 25:58 which is Volume III, 25:59 that is on the offering list for this year? 26:03 Well, Volume II is the World of the Exodus. 26:05 And unfortunately, we have already filmed this. 26:07 And so we'd be working on post production, 26:10 and hope to have it available by Christmas. 26:12 Volume II, the World of the Kings, 26:14 we are writing the material, preparing the material. 26:17 And God willing, 26:19 we'll be filming that in the spring of 2021. 26:23 And hope to have that available later in the summer from that. 26:27 So we have to go back and film that, 26:28 we film on locations. 26:29 And it's pretty exciting, that little altar, 26:31 by the way is from Tel Dan. 26:33 And you might remember that 26:34 that's where after the Israel was divided 26:36 into Israel and Judah, 26:39 that that was one of the places of false worship. 26:42 And so, some of the big issues 26:44 that come together in Volume III, 26:45 of the World of Kings, 26:46 we can see the apostasy and the prophets 26:48 trying to call them back 26:50 like Elijah and the Jesuit old story. 26:52 So many stories that take place in the Bible 26:55 that we again hope to bring to life, 26:57 and so, part of the offering is to support that this year. 27:00 And I can see how this would really bring 27:02 the Bible to life 27:03 and it would be really exciting 27:05 for people to use and read in Bible study. 27:08 So that would be great. 27:09 You know, we're literally looking forward 27:11 to seeing this. 27:12 And thank you so much, Tony, 27:13 for what you're doing with Biblical World 27:15 and kind of opening up the Bible 27:17 so that we can see 27:18 not just hear about what happened in the Bible 27:22 and actually walk the walk 27:24 that Jesus walked 27:25 and understand what's going on there. 27:26 Thank you very much, Tony. 27:29 Thank you. 27:31 I am so looking forward 27:33 to seeing that brand new series. 27:35 And we might have to air that on 3ABN. 27:37 I think so. Yes, absolutely. 27:39 One of the things I love is just the, 27:42 being in the actual place where that happened, 27:44 you know, whether it's Mars Hill, 27:46 whether it's Greece, or Athens, or Rome, or Israel, 27:50 or although I think of all the different projects 27:52 that he has done and filming on location 27:54 makes such a difference. 27:56 It really does. It brings it to life. 27:57 And you know, not all of us have the opportunity 27:59 to travel to different parts of the world. 28:01 So what a blessing 28:02 that God's given this ministry and this heart 28:04 for sharing the gospel this way. 28:06 Amen. 28:07 We're going next to another Academy. 28:09 This is Harbert Hills Academy. 28:11 And Debbie Young 28:13 had the opportunity to sit down 28:14 with actual the president of Harbert Hills, 28:17 but also the president of ASI. 28:20 This is, of course, Pastor Steve Dickman, 28:22 and just want to say how grateful we are 28:25 here at 3ABN 28:26 for Pastor Steve Dickman's leadership of ASI, 28:28 he does an amazing job. 28:30 I agree. 28:31 You know, Pastor Steve has, 28:32 he has such a heart for young people, 28:34 and for others, and of course, the ministry of ASI. 28:36 He's such a busy man. 28:37 You know, it's just amazing 28:39 when I tried to get a hold of him, 28:40 you know, he just always takes the time, 28:42 you know, to listen and to talk 28:43 and I know he has so many responsibilities, 28:45 but he loves the Lord Jesus Christ. 28:47 And this roll, video roll 28:49 that we're getting ready to go to. 28:50 I like it, because he talks a lot 28:52 about the practical education of an academy, 28:55 which that's how I grew up, 28:57 I was homeschooled. 28:58 But I had the opportunity to work with my father. 29:00 And, of course, they very much believed in me 29:02 being in the garden, pulling weeds, 29:04 taking a hammer and nail and nailing boards together. 29:07 So I like the practical aspect of this academy 29:10 and, of course, many academies do that as well. 29:12 But this will be a fun roll. 29:13 It will indeed, 29:14 and they're also talking about some of the funds for ASI 29:18 have gone for Harbert Hills Academy, 29:20 especially for a new staff housing project. 29:22 And sometimes we think, 29:23 okay, we want to give funds to help what? 29:25 Spread the gospel with evangelism 29:28 or colporteuring or whatever. 29:31 But in this sense, 29:32 housing is vitally important for staff 29:36 in order for that infrastructure 29:38 in order to maintain a school and to go and grow. 29:41 So let's take a look at that interview now. 29:45 At Harbert Hills Academy, 29:47 we believe in the divine model of education, 29:50 where practical training, 29:52 academic training and spiritual training 29:55 all go hand in hand 29:57 to produce a young person who is able to go forth 30:00 and serve God wherever he may be called. 30:03 One of the projects here at Harbert Hills Academy 30:06 that we've partnered with ASI and other donors on 30:09 is our new staff housing project. 30:11 The need for this project was so evident. 30:14 Over the years, 30:16 we have accumulated five mobile homes 30:19 here on our campus, 30:21 and mobile homes 30:22 unfortunately reached the end of their useful life 30:25 rather quickly. 30:27 So permanent staff housing has been a need here. 30:30 This project was launched about a year and a half ago. 30:33 And today, we are working on house number nine. 30:37 That's an amazing journey 30:38 over the last past year and a half. 30:40 It's been a real blessing 30:42 to our staff and to our students, 30:44 to see the students advanced in skill level 30:47 as they applied their hands 30:50 and their arms and their muscles 30:53 to help build these houses. 30:55 As the staff have worked together 30:57 with students and gained skills themselves. 30:59 It's been an amazing journey. 31:01 And it has benefited the students 31:03 in more ways than one. 31:04 They've learned 31:05 practical problem-solving skills, 31:07 they've learned hands on skills 31:09 that they will use for the rest of their life, 31:11 and things they can do for themselves. 31:14 So we are so thankful 31:16 that we've had the opportunity to build these homes. 31:19 The impact, though, has not been limited 31:21 to the campus at Harbert Hills Academy. 31:23 Other institutions are now benefiting 31:25 from this model of building homes here, 31:28 that has been put together. 31:30 So across the campuses 31:32 of our self-supporting institutions 31:33 across this nation, 31:35 there are many needs for staff housing. 31:38 We're hoping that this project will impact them as well. 31:41 But we want to take this opportunity 31:43 to say a special thank you to ASI, 31:45 a special thank you to other donors 31:47 who have engaged in this. 31:49 Lifting students confidence, 31:51 engaged in helping staff with permanent housing, 31:54 engaged in helping an institution 31:56 bring up the level of professionalism 32:00 among its staff and students. 32:02 Thank you for what you've done. 32:03 God bless you. 32:11 Steve, that was a very informative video. 32:13 What other messages would you like us 32:15 to take away from that, from that experience? 32:19 You know, Debbie, as I think about what's happened here, 32:23 I recognize that we're living in a very unique time 32:28 in earth's history first of all. 32:30 This message that we have to get 32:32 to the world, the gospel, the three angels' messages, 32:35 it's so needed around the world, 32:37 and we need young people who are trained rightly. 32:40 And there's a Spirit of Prophecy quote 32:43 out of book Education, 32:44 that says, you know, basically, 32:46 with such an army of young people, 32:48 as our youth rightly trained. 32:50 Well, that means we need institutions 32:52 that are training rightly. 32:54 And in order to have institutions, 32:55 you need to have infrastructure. 32:57 And while infrastructure is not as exciting sometimes 33:00 as some of the other frontline things, 33:02 it's definitely a need among many of our institutions 33:05 scattered across this country. 33:07 And so as we have invested in this project, 33:10 and matured the process, 33:13 and these houses have been going up, 33:15 I've been thinking what a blessing it will be 33:17 if we can do something more than this, 33:19 something more than just help Harbert Hills, 33:21 we want to help other institutions 33:24 to actually improve their housing situation, 33:27 so that their staff can be more comfortable 33:29 and the training that takes place 33:32 will be the focus, 33:33 not necessarily the maintenance of the infrastructure. 33:37 So you know, this is, like I said, 33:39 it's amazing opportunity for us to join together, 33:42 and to do something for other institutions as well. 33:46 Now, Debbie, you and I had both been involved in ASI 33:48 for quite a while. 33:50 And we know 33:51 that when ASI takes up something, 33:53 it generally likes to have projects 33:55 that have application beyond that specific project. 33:59 And this project does, 34:01 it has application at many other institutions. 34:04 And we feel it's a model that can be followed 34:06 and ASI would like to see a project mature 34:10 that can begin to build one or two of these 34:13 across the country at different institutions, 34:16 different selected entities across the US, 34:20 maybe build a one or two a year 34:21 and just help our institutions to kind of raise the bar 34:25 on their housing, 34:26 and how they accommodate their staff. 34:29 So, Steve, give me an idea perspective of need, 34:32 about how many institutions might you surmise 34:35 would have this kind of a need? 34:38 Well, I'm thinking of the Uchee Pines for one, 34:42 just the need there is huge. 34:44 They have, 34:45 in fact, already are building two of these homes there. 34:49 And finishing one, it'll be occupied August 15. 34:53 So that's exciting. 34:54 But then you go on 34:55 and you can talk about Wildwood, 34:57 and you can talk about Laura Brooke, 34:58 and you can talk about Heritage 35:00 and there are academies and Weimar 35:03 and other, even our health institutions 35:05 and our schools across this nation, 35:08 a good share of them are in need 35:10 of in either enhancing their staff housing 35:13 or increasing their staff housing. 35:15 And so, I think this can be a huge blessing and a benefit. 35:19 So tell me, what has one of the students, 35:21 have they indicated 35:22 that this has been a blessing to them 35:24 to be involved in this way? 35:26 You know, Debbie, one of my other jobs here 35:29 is I get to teach some classes. 35:31 And I love teaching, 35:32 I love interacting with young people. 35:34 And I think back this past year to class, 35:36 and every week during class time, 35:39 we always had a project to work on, 35:41 we always had something real for them to put their hand to, 35:45 and to engage in learning new skills. 35:46 I think of the, 35:48 you know, the young ladies learning to put insulation in 35:51 and in frame walls and put up trusses 35:54 and those skills are invaluable skills 35:57 that they take with them for the rest of their life. 35:59 And the young men are gaining skills 36:01 with things 36:02 that they're just invaluable skills. 36:04 They're needed in the mission field, 36:05 they're needed here. 36:07 And many young people's lives have been blessed. 36:10 Thank you very much, Steve, for that very exciting report. 36:13 Appreciate it very much. 36:17 Thank you so much for that interview, 36:19 Debbie and Pastor Steve, 36:20 we're grateful for Harbert Hills 36:22 and their ministry. 36:23 We're going next to a ministry 36:25 that's near and dear to our hearts. 36:27 This is Lineage. 36:28 Now we actually air Lineage... 36:30 We do on 3ABN. 36:31 On 3ABN, 36:32 the executive director and host of Lineage is Adam Ramdin. 36:36 And we went to school with him. 36:38 We did. Yes, that's right. 36:39 We've been talking about age, 36:40 it seems like this entire time, and... 36:42 I'm not sure why. 36:43 Okay, we won't talk about 36:45 when we went to school together. 36:46 There's been a number of years ago, 36:47 but God has placed this ministry on His heart. 36:51 And what an incredible job, of course, that He is doing, 36:53 again, going back to history. 36:54 And like Tony Moore in the footsteps of Paul, 36:57 Lineage does a great job along the same lines. 36:58 They do. 37:00 They really make history modern, 37:02 relevant and beautiful for us today. 37:05 They film on location, 37:07 they're just launching into Season 3, 37:12 of course, we have several episodes 37:13 that air on 3ABN, 37:15 they follow the Reformation in Europe, of course. 37:17 But Season III is it based 37:19 entirely on the Conflict of the Ages series. 37:23 They're going to make a couple of seasons 37:24 on the Old Testament 37:26 and a season on the New Testament, 37:28 traveling to many different countries. 37:30 And I'm excited because it's on location. 37:32 It's relevant, it's biblical, and it's engaging, 37:36 especially for younger generations. 37:39 And I'm excited about this project. 37:40 You know, like this, here, we have it written down here. 37:42 It says Lineage is not only about video, 37:45 but Lineage is about creating resources 37:47 that makes history modern, beautiful and relevant. 37:50 And it's basically talking 37:51 about how God has led His people in the past, 37:53 but actually how He's relevant now 37:54 and is there to lead each one of us. 37:57 So Debbie Young had the opportunity 37:58 of sitting down with Clive Coutet. 38:00 He's the media director for Lineage 38:03 and let's go to that roll in interview right now. 39:25 Wow, that video had such tremendous scenery. 39:29 Adam Ramdin and Clive Coutet, 39:32 we're so glad that you're here with us 39:33 to tell us about Lineage. 39:35 So Clive, let me talk with you, 39:37 as the media director 39:38 share with us what Lineage is all about? 39:42 So in 2016, we really saw a gap 39:45 where I was looking through the great controversy, 39:48 we really couldn't see 39:50 some relevant good resources online 39:52 that would help young people understand 39:54 and some of these locations based out in Europe. 39:56 So we decided to create some videos, 39:57 we created 40 episodes on the Reformation. 40:01 And then after that 40:02 we ended up doing 52 episodes on Adventist history. 40:07 And we decided to just create a resource 40:10 that could really help young people understand, 40:12 you know, history in the language of today. 40:14 So, Adam, as the host 40:17 and executive director of Lineage, 40:19 tell us what's in the future? 40:20 What's the current project? 40:22 The current project is often called Season III, 40:25 but season III 40:27 is actually broken into four parts. 40:28 What we're doing in Season III, 40:31 is following the series of books, 40:34 The Conflict of the Ages, if anyone's familiar with them, 40:37 or would really just following the Bible. 40:39 We're doing two series on the Old Testament, 40:41 and two series on the New Testament 40:44 traveling to Egypt, Jordan, 40:46 Israel, Turkey, Greece, Italy, Malta, 40:51 and some of these countries in the Middle East 40:53 that are rich in biblical history. 40:55 And we want to bring the Bible story to life. 40:58 It's not an archaeological series. 41:00 But we're going to be following 41:02 the narrative of the story of God's people 41:05 through the Bible, 41:06 and how God led His people 41:08 and the relevance of those lessons for us today. 41:10 Now, Clive, I know 41:12 that Lineage is not just about video, 41:14 tell us what other things are in development? 41:17 So we're about creating resources 41:20 that kind of bring, 41:21 make history modern, make history beautiful, 41:23 and make history relevant to us today. 41:25 So we've created a coloring book, 41:27 we presented this last year, but it wasn't quite ready. 41:30 But, you know, in the last year, 41:31 we've managed to sell about 1,000 copies, 41:34 assist 16 custom 41:36 drawn Reformation illustrations, 41:38 and QR codes that go straight to our website, 41:40 which tells you more information 41:42 about the characters, 41:43 plays videos about the characters 41:44 and has lots of images about characters as well. 41:47 So they have been done really, really well. 41:49 And kids have really enjoyed doing those illustrations 41:52 and coloring those in. 41:54 And we also have some new study guides 41:56 that we're just about to launch, 41:58 we'll actually launch today 48 study guides 42:00 on basically the great controversy 42:02 in more detail with interactive maps, 42:05 videos, images, and discussion questions 42:07 for people who are doing Bible studies. 42:09 So these actually all available on Apple bookstore, 42:12 whether you have a Mac, iPad, or iPhone, 42:15 and hopefully somewhere down the line, 42:16 we'll be able to get on Android too. 42:19 Wow, it sounds like you have everything. 42:21 You've got the whole spectrum of ages covered. 42:24 Tell us what kind of testimonies 42:26 or responses that you've had, Adam? 42:31 We've had some very interesting ones. 42:33 I don't know if Clive shared, 42:35 he may have shared some of these last year. 42:37 The videos are viewed in a lot of churches, 42:39 they're viewed in a lot of schools. 42:43 But they also find their ways into places 42:45 that we don't imagine. 42:46 I was just in the town of Leicester 42:48 that's not too far 42:49 from where I live here in England 42:51 and some 12-year old girl came up to me and was like, 42:53 Oh, yeah, we watch your videos 42:55 in our religious class at school today. 42:57 Not an Adventist school, not a Christian school, 43:00 just a normal state public school. 43:02 And it just blows our mind 43:04 that teachers are looking for stuff online, 43:06 and they bump into Lineage 43:08 and they use it in their classes. 43:09 That's, you know, we hear 43:11 that relatively frequently of people 43:13 who are using these resources in places we wouldn't know. 43:17 Just last week, I had a friend of mine 43:19 who messaged me and said, 43:20 "I've got a Mormon friend, 43:22 you know, Latter Day Saints, and she sent me a screenshot, 43:26 she's sharing your Lineage videos 43:27 on her Facebook page, " 43:29 and that always encouraged us. 43:30 You know, we know our people in our faith community 43:33 share the videos. 43:34 When we see people outside of our faith, 43:37 who are going to Lineage of the resource. 43:39 And there's another story that we were told 43:40 by one of our team members who went to train, 43:43 a Bible training school several years ago 43:45 with someone else. 43:47 After they graduate 43:48 from their Bible training school, 43:49 that friend fell off the map, when I say that, 43:51 I mean fell off the map spiritually, 43:53 and they got a job on some desert island. 43:55 But then Corona hit, 43:57 and they were stuck on this desert island 43:59 with his dream job that didn't happen 44:01 and had nothing to do. 44:03 They binge watched Lineage Season I, 44:05 they binge watched Lineage Season II, 44:08 and essentially brought them back to God 44:10 after eight years in the spiritual wilderness 44:13 that they then came back to God after watching Lineage, 44:15 had nothing to do but to watch things online. 44:17 They found Lineage and it brought them back to God 44:19 and stories like that always encourage us. 44:22 Oh, that's wonderful. 44:23 We're praying 44:24 that God blesses with the offerings, 44:26 so that Lineage can continue doing the work that it's doing, 44:29 reaching people and having the impact 44:32 that it needs to have for the gospel of Jesus Christ. 44:34 Thank you very much, gentlemen, for joining us. 44:38 Thank you. 44:41 Thank you so much, Debbie, and Clive, and Adam, 44:44 excited about what God is doing in and through Lineage 44:47 and looking forward to those new season, 44:51 the new season coming out 44:53 and the Conflict of the Ages series. 44:54 So it'd be exciting. 44:56 You know, of course 3ABN we can appreciate production 44:59 and what it takes to pull something off, 45:01 such as what Lineage is doing, it's incredible. 45:03 You know, to go there and the amount of research, 45:05 I had the opportunity of talking to Adam Ramdin, 45:07 I think is it GYC, actually, so a few months back, 45:10 and he was just talking 45:11 about the tremendous amount of research 45:13 that he puts in, and you know, 45:14 and you have to appreciate that. 45:15 It's not just like, okay, let's just do this. 45:17 No, they put a lot of time and effort, 45:18 a lot of historical resources, 45:20 of course, the Bible 45:22 and the writings of Ellen White, 45:23 and it's just fantastic what they put together. 45:24 It is indeed. 45:26 And we have one more interview this hour for you. 45:29 And this is Julie O'Carey sat down with Erwin Nanasi, 45:34 I'm not sure I'm pronouncing his last name right. 45:36 But he is an incredible musician. 45:39 He is, of course, 45:40 works at Weimar as minister of music, 45:42 but this new project is not associated with Weimar. 45:44 It's a project 45:45 that he's doing in collaboration 45:47 with some other people. 45:48 And it is a music project, which I'm delighted about. 45:52 They're creating an app, a hymnal app for worship music, 45:58 and it will have three different focuses, 46:00 three different pieces, it will have the accompaniment, 46:03 that of course, any musician, pianist, organist would need. 46:06 It would have a lead sheet for the singers, 46:08 and it will have the stories behind the hymn. 46:11 So I'm excited about this new project 46:14 and to think it'll be available on your phone, isn't it? 46:16 Yeah, I mean, that's amazing 46:17 because when they're talking app, 46:19 it's a phone app. 46:20 And what's really nice, I can see schools, 46:22 churches, small groups, using a resource like this. 46:27 And, of course, we believe strongly that music, 46:30 of course, is a part of worship, 46:31 and what an incredible app. 46:33 So let's go to that exciting video roll right now. 46:38 Hi, everyone, 46:40 thank you so much for playing my favorite song, 46:43 that was beautiful. 46:44 You know, when I, when I describe your music, 46:47 I would just say it's joyful. 46:50 You're a gifted musician, just amazing musician. 46:54 So tell us a little bit about the Know Him project. 46:58 Well, the Know Him project 46:59 is a project that is to bring worshipful music 47:03 and high quality to congregations, 47:05 especially hymn accompaniments. 47:07 Praise is so important, 47:09 and what better way to do that than with hymns 47:11 that can be sung worldwide. 47:13 And so as churches have requested it, 47:15 as individuals have requested, as families, we thought, 47:19 it is time, 47:20 it is time to make something like this available. 47:22 You know, I know it's a real big need, 47:24 I traveled to a lot of churches to speak for ASAP. 47:28 And when they don't have a musician, 47:29 it affects the whole worship experience. 47:32 And so I'm excited about this. 47:34 So what got you interested in this project, Erwin? 47:38 See, several years ago, two friends of mine, 47:40 Joel Nedley and Romero Quero, 47:42 they had been telling me 47:43 that there's a demand for churches 47:44 to have music 47:46 and I said, you know, we can just visit them. 47:49 And when we would visit the churches, 47:50 they would say, well, how can we listen 47:52 to more of this music when you're not with us? 47:54 I said, "Well, what can be done." 47:56 And so, throughout the time, 47:58 also working at Weimar Institute, 47:59 I serve as minister of music here. 48:02 We have patients that come, we have students that are here, 48:05 church members and community members 48:06 all around the world 48:08 that have been encouraging us to provide something like this. 48:11 And we want to respond 48:12 to what we have been asked to do. 48:14 And so, this is the time to now put it out 48:17 so that people can listen to hymns anywhere at any time. 48:21 I love how a young person like you 48:24 would be passionate about hymns. 48:26 That's so cool. 48:28 Yeah, it wasn't always like this. 48:30 When I was young, 48:31 I didn't understand the hymns completely, 48:32 I didn't understand the function that they had. 48:35 Let's see the Bible talks about psalms, 48:36 hymns and spiritual songs. 48:38 And so hymns have this particular function 48:40 of sharing more about Christ. 48:42 And so, in my research 48:43 that I was able to conduct also case study, 48:46 and congregational hymn singing, 48:48 we noticed that people enjoy the hymns 48:50 once they understand them more fully. 48:52 And so for me, as a young person, 48:53 I enjoyed them, 48:55 not in the least because of the music now, 48:57 but also because of the stories behind them. 48:58 Once you know 49:00 what the writer has gone through, 49:01 and why they wrote something, 49:03 oh, you can say, I can relate to that, 49:05 or there's a song about that. 49:07 That's amazing. 49:08 And before you know it, 49:09 you may even start writing your own songs 49:11 and sharing them with others. 49:12 That's great. 49:14 So what would this look like, this project? 49:18 So we are thinking of an app, 49:21 an app that can be made available 49:23 to anyone in the world 49:24 so that you can easily access the songs that you so like, 49:28 and it will have at least three components. 49:30 One of them will be hymn accompaniments 49:32 that are inspiring 49:33 that you will sing your heart out, 49:35 not just background music, 49:36 but actually singing with your heart 49:38 as if we're in a congregation or a convention 49:40 or conference like an ASI. 49:42 The second thing is that, 49:43 we know that some of the songs 49:45 may be written too low or too high. 49:47 And so we want to put them on a lead sheet 49:49 that has a key 49:50 that is more friendly to the singers, 49:52 and perhaps also some harmonization 49:54 that may be more fresh 49:56 for those that are interested in that. 49:57 The third one 49:58 is that we want to include the stories. 50:00 So as you are selecting one of the songs, 50:03 you can also reflect on the stories and say, 50:05 oh, wow, this is what is behind it. 50:07 Now, if there's a more time that we have, 50:10 we are going to include other items as well. 50:13 But this will be the better version 50:15 that we want to make available as soon as possible, 50:17 hopefully by December. 50:19 Wow, that sounds wonderful. 50:22 I can't wait for this to come out. 50:24 So I know this has taken a lot of work, 50:29 and it will take you all a lot of work. 50:32 But is, are you doing this on your own or is there a team? 50:37 I know you work at Weimar as the minister of music. 50:41 Can you tell us a little bit about that? 50:43 Yeah, I wouldn't be able to do this by myself. 50:46 In fact, I didn't come up with this idea to begin with. 50:48 I said, "This is an enormous project." 50:51 We are thinking of recording all the hymns at some point. 50:54 And not just in English, 50:55 but also perhaps some hymns that are available 50:58 only say in German or in Spanish, 51:01 and record those as well. 51:02 So while I'm going to be playing 51:04 the piano, 51:05 there will be others involved in the recordings 51:07 in the editing, 51:08 in the note setting 51:10 and then also in the app development. 51:12 It was such providence, that about two weeks ago, 51:15 we had 51:16 a good Seventh-day Adventist web developer 51:18 and software designer contact me and said, 51:20 "Erwin, I don't know much about music, 51:22 but I appreciate it. 51:24 And you have what we need. 51:26 And I think we have what you need, 51:28 and that is app development." 51:29 I said, "This is just a connection 51:32 made in heaven." 51:33 And so with that, we can make it available 51:35 and we are so excited about this, 51:38 because the praise of... 51:39 Praising God is so essential to our work on this earth. 51:44 In fact, that's what we will do in all of heaven. 51:46 And so, we want to inspire others to join that praise now. 51:50 You know, I want to know 51:52 how I can be notified when this app is out 51:56 because I want it 51:57 and I want it for all the churches 51:59 that I work with in Southeast Asia. 52:01 So how can I know when this is going to be done? 52:06 That's a good question. 52:07 I think the best way to do 52:09 is that you are going on our website, 52:12 SacredSoundFoundation.org. 52:15 And on our website, 52:16 you'll have the ability to write us a little note. 52:19 And the reason we have that note in there 52:20 is so that you can mention your favorite hymn, 52:23 just like you mentioned to me as water to the thirsty 52:25 and we were happy to record that song for you. 52:28 We're happy to record other hymns as well. 52:30 So if you have a favorite that your church really enjoys, 52:33 then put those in there 52:34 and they may be 52:36 one of the first ones that we're recording. 52:37 And so, if you send us an email, 52:38 you'll be notified on all the updates 52:40 that are coming on this project. 52:42 Okay, thank you so much, Erwin. 52:44 And I want to say congratulations on your baby. 52:48 Avi Jubilee. 52:49 And I hear he loves music already. 52:52 So you know what we're going to do now, 52:54 we're going to just take a couple moments 52:56 to at the conclusion here to stop 53:00 and reflect on how great our Lord is, 53:02 as Erwin plays a little snippet of that. 53:05 Thank you, Erwin, God bless. Amen. 53:07 You too, God bless you. Thank you. 53:20 Amen. 53:23 I'm excited about this new music app. 53:25 I know I will want to download it 53:27 for my own phone. 53:29 Amen. 53:30 And Erwin is a great pianist, 53:32 and he just has a wonderful spirit. 53:34 He does. 53:35 I'm looking forward 53:36 to how God is going to use this. 53:38 You know, we hope 53:39 that you've enjoyed this past hour 53:40 as much as we have. 53:42 You know, think about 53:43 whatever the Lord is impressing upon your heart, 53:45 these ministries needs support, 53:46 you know, I think about all of the ways 53:49 that they're ministering to other people, 53:51 local community with through canvassing, 53:53 the academies we talked about, in the footsteps of Paul, 53:56 Tony Moore, Lineage I know I'm forgetting some, 53:58 Erwin Nanasi. 54:00 You know, they're all doing what God has called them to do. 54:04 So you're welcome to look up, of course, 54:06 their ministry name and support them, 54:07 I know that they would really appreciate it 54:09 because they're doing the work of the Lord. 54:10 Amen. 54:12 And if you don't have their address, 54:13 you can always contact us at 3ABN, 54:15 and we'd be delighted to put you in touch 54:17 with any one of these ministries 54:18 we featured today. 54:19 We're going to a news break. 54:21 We'll be right back. |
