Dear 3ABN Family,Once again, America has been focused on another school shooting. Politi-

cians blame each other’s parties. Students are demanding action nationwide to forever prevent another tragedy, and everyone seems to be looking for answers to make our schools and nation safer. However, the shootings are the result of a sin problem that has worsened dramatically here in America, and around the world. If the answer was as simple as banning all guns, that would be great, but the problem goes much deeper.

For generations, America has rejected the Law of God at every turn. In the 1970s, the Supreme Court of the United States legalized abortion, giving Americans “freedom of choice” when it comes to killing innocent babies. God says He knew us in the womb—and that alone tells us that the unborn are real human beings who have a right to life.

For decades, our government has allowed the gaming industry to distrib-ute video games that trample on the sanctity of human life and glorify the killing of other human beings. For even more generations, Hollywood has produced movies that expose our young people to violence, rape, and murder. Rap lyrics that encourage listeners to act out their worst fantasies have entered every culture here in America, so it’s no wonder our young people are troubled and confused.

In order to stop sin, such as these school shootings where hundreds of young people are shot and many killed, we must deal with the root cause—the breaking of God’s Ten Commandments! We must change our culture’s values, and one of the most effective ways to do this is through media. Together, we can reach millions of hurting people through television, radio, and the Internet. We can use our worldwide plat-form to impact the prevailing cultural attitudes. We can put “boots on the ground” and offer evangelistic campaigns in various cities around the world, like we’ve done in Phoenix and in London.

However, we can’t do this without your help. Please partner with us, prayerfully and financially, as we share the good news of the love of Jesus with those who need Him most!

May God bless you abundantly more than you could ever ask or think.

4 • NEWS & EVENTS | Bobby Davis

Spring Camp Meeting is coming, and the focus of each of our 16

presentations will be the three angels’ messages of Revelation 14:6–12. We’ll also debut songs from 3ABN’s new musical project, Give Him Glory, focusing on each of the three angels’ messages! Here’s what 3ABN president and CEO, Danny Shelton, had to say recently about this project.

3ABN World: Danny, how did this music project come about?Danny Shelton: As I’ve watched events unfold in our country over the past few years I’ve seen a tremendous division in our views on politics, race, and any number of things. They have influenced the atmosphere both within and without our Church, and it’s become very clear that we need a new call to return to our roots, to the pillars of our faith, and to the three

of our message, he spent several months reading Daniel and Revelation, as well as material from our Seventh-day Adventist Bible Commentary, and the inspired words of Ellen White. David Huntsinger, who is also not an Adventist, wrote most of the songs on the Pillars of Our Faith project. He told me that writing those songs changed his life—and, as we know, the lives of multitudes. It’s incredible to see God use these men to give our message, and “give the trumpet a certain sound!”

We’re working with award-winning orchestrator, Kris Wilkinson; arranger David Clydesdale, and singers like Win-tley Phipps, Ryan Day, Julie Goss, Gene McDonald, and some of our 3ABN sing-ers, as well. We hope to have the project ready by camp meeting time.

World: What personal insights have you received from working on these songs?Danny: As I was thinking about the three angels’ messages, I realized they’re centered on God’s perfect law. Then the Lord opened my eyes to see that we can’t keep the Sabbath holy unless we keep the other nine commandments. The Sabbath commandment is the only one that centers on man’s character; so if I’m so involved in living life that I place other gods before my Lord, I can keep the Sabbath, but I can’t keep it holy.

I want the world to know about the Sabbath, but I have a burden to insure that Seventh-day Adventists don’t keep it like the Jews did. We must keep all of God’s commandments throughout the week, so we can keep the Sabbath with clean hands. Some folks never see that, and they worship God under false pretense. They’re zealous about keeping the fourth com-mandment, but they don’t keep the other nine. I believe that’s why the fourth angel’s message in Revelation 18:4 says, “Come out of her, my people, lest you share in her sins, and lest you receive of her plagues.” As God’s people, we’re dabbling in Baby-lon—and He’s calling us to come out. He’s coming back for His bride—His church. So my drive is to bring forward the three angels’ messages—including the Sabbath. We must keep close to the Bible, lest the devil keep the church in Babylon.

Orchestrator Kris Wilkinson and her husband Larry Paxton will be working on this project.

angels’ messages of Revelation 14:6–12. At Three Angels Broadcasting Network we strive to stay focused on our message and our name, so we decided to focus our Spring Camp Meeting on the three angels’ messages. Then, as I looked over the sermon titles, it occurred to me that each should have music on that theme; but after looking far and wide, I couldn’t find a single song that really brought those messages to life!

3ABN World: What did you decide to do?Danny: Well, I was privileged to sit down and write some songs, myself; but as I thought of the many talented songwriters we’ve worked with in the past, I began contacting them about collaborating on this project. Although the topics were way outside their field and required a tremendous amount of research, legendary gospel songwriters Lanny Wolfe, David Huntsinger, and Aaron Wilburn have agreed to work with us, and honestly, there have never been songs like these! Lanny Wolfe is one of the best-known gospel songwriters in this country, having written songs like, “Surely the Presence,” “More Than Wonderful,” and “Whatever It Takes.” To get a greater understanding

The three angels’ messages will come to life in the beautiful songs written by Danny Shelton (below), David Huntsinger, and Lanny Wolfe. Watch for their debut during our Spring Camp Meeting!

6 • NETWORK FEATURE | 3ABN LatinoMurillo that remained steadfast, and we learned some important lessons through this experience.

The apostle Paul helped us understand that we should be strong in the Lord, “For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places.” Ephesians 6:12.

God also used Ellen White to shed some light on this. In her pamphlet, Words of Encouragement to the Home Missionary Field, page 36, she wrote, “Our people are not half awake to the fact that the enemy against whom we are contending is a keen, intelligent, eloquent being, who works in every conceivable way to hinder the advancement of God’s work. We must rid ourselves of the idea that we can move along smoothly, meeting no hindrances. The enemy will oppose every effort put forth to advance the cause of God.”

In understanding this, we can take courage because God is “not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.” 2 Peter 3:9. Furthermore, “What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us?” Romans 8:31.

I was beginning to wonder if it would ever happen, but it did! Let me rephrase that—God did it! You see, several years ago we were

approached by Pastor David Murillo, from Nicaragua, about a construction permit he’d received from the Telecommunica-tions Institute of Nicaragua (TELCOR).

The permit was to put channel 45 on the air in the capital city of Managua. How-ever, it would not just cover the nearly 1.5 million people living in Managua, but would allow the holder to continue

to expand coverage to Nicaragua’s entire population of over 6 million people!

Pastor Murillo requested our help to put this channel on the air, and we told him that if he were able to put the channel in 3ABN’s name, we would work together to preach the undiluted three angels’ mes-sages in Nicaragua. He took this message to his board, and they agreed. But when we told our viewers, their response was overwhelming! This let us know that

Good ReportsA breakthrough came in September

of last year, when Pastor Murillo came to 3ABN and told us that he’d been given permission by TELCOR to install the antenna and transmitter, and start broad-casting; and I’m happy to report that on December 24, at 4:25 p.m., channel 45 started broadcasting 3ABN Latino’s signal in Managua, Nicaragua! Good reports have come in from people watching our programming, stating that they’re being blessed. We ask for your prayers, because funds are needed to build a studio and record local programming, in compliance with Nicaraguan law. With God’s bless-ings, we will soon hear from those who are giving their hearts to the Lord in baptism!

We also solicit your prayers for 3ABN Latino as we continue working on plans for evangelistic campaigns in New York, Colombia, and wherever else the Lord leads.

Pastor David Murillo

God wanted channel 45 on the air—but, unfortunately, we were not prepared for the delay.

God’s TimingDevelopments in the country, change

of administration, and other issues became big obstacles to putting the sta-tion on the air. Month after month, Pastor Murillo visited the telecommunications leadership, asking if we could proceed with the construction, and each time he was told that the president of the country’s telecommunications department had stated we had to wait. We asked our 3ABN Latino viewers to bring this matter before the Lord because it seemed like Satan was erecting one obstacle after another.

Three years passed, then four, five, and six. I have to admit that I began to wonder, Is this ever going to happen? During that long wait, sometimes it seemed that Pastor Murillo was encouraging me, and at other times, it seemed I was encouraging him. However, I must say that it was Pastor

Pastor David Murillo (second from right) met with 3ABN’s leaders (left to right) Brian Hamilton, Mollie Steenson, and John Dinzey about channel 45.

IS IT EVER GOING TO HAPPEN?

After installing a satellite dish, Channel 45 in Managua, Nicaragua now broadcasts to nearly 1.5 million viewers!

12 • CHANGED LIVES

Grateful for 3ABNMary, from North Liberty, Iowa, wrote

us recently to say, “Your TV station has been such a wonderful blessing. When moving to a new area, and feeling a needed change, I found 3ABN. After watching for almost a year, I know you are a true Bible-believing church. Thank you for being here for me, and all the others you have blessed.”

A few hundred miles away, Bob in Fort Dodge, Iowa, shares the same sentiment. “I thank the Lord for bringing your chan-nel, ministry, and family into my life,” he writes. “You truly have been a blessing. Continue your good work.”

Setting Prisoners FreeBesides reaching the world with the

undiluted three angels’ messages of Rev-elation 14:6-12, the Lord calls us “To proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to those who are bound.” Isaiah 61:1.

Our Pastoral department sends thou-sands of Bibles and Christian literature to prisoners like Roger, who sent us a letter recently, saying, “I found my first 3ABN World magazine at the intake center here, and it has helped me find a better path. I wrote to you about a year ago, and you sent a Bible that I read every time I am in my cell. I never thought I would find something that would change my life in such a good way, here, in such a bad place. I wanted to write and tell you how 3ABN has changed my life. You can go from a world of bad to being with God, no matter where you are in life. God can help you in any time of need!”

Honoring God FirstThose who watch 3ABN soon become

aware of God’s Ten Commandments, and many of them feel the conviction to honor God’s holy Sabbath. Such was the case with Guillermo, who found 3ABN Latino in the Dominican Republic. He writes, “I was baptized four months ago, and I have

dedicated my life to Jesus Christ. However, I ask for your prayers so that I can find a good job with Sabbaths off. I turned down good job offers this week because they would require working on Saturdays, but God comes first in my life. I love your programs. Thank you, and may God bless your work.” Surely, God honors those who honor His commandments.

Reaching the Young — and the Old

Our 3ABN Kids Network continues to touch the lives of both the young and the old, bringing joy and a strong desire to know more about Jesus.

Chanecia contacted us recently, asking to enroll in our Kids Club Bible Lessons. She wrote, “Dear Miss Brenda, I was watching one of your programs on 3ABN and saw an invitation to request the les-son plans. I’m 9 years old (turning 10 in December), and I am learning about Jesus every day. I believe getting the lessons will

help me in my study of God’s Word. My family and I love to read your Moments with God devotional during our worships. I also read the Prayer Promises for Kids. Thank you for sharing your knowledge about Jesus. I look forward to hearing from you and starting my lessons.”

How precious Chanecia is to our Lord, and what a tender heart! Currently, there

are over 40,000 kids enrolled in Kids Club in 120 countries. That’s truly amazing!

Antoinette in Trinidad, West Indies, recently wrote to tell us that the elderly are also blessed by our children’s pro-gramming. She writes, “I would like to take this opportunity to let you know that your program is also viewed by the elderly. My mother was in an old age home, and many of the elderly asked to view your program every evening that I went to visit her. I promised her that I will let you know this. She passed away last July. Thank you for this program, and I want you to know that I still enjoy watching it and sharing it with my grandchildren.”

3ABN Radio on RokuWe continue to expand the number of

ways to watch 3ABN TV or listen to 3ABN Radio. Martin, in Grandville, Michigan, sent us an email, and we think he was pretty excited!

He writes, “For some time, I’ve watched 3ABN via my Internet connection and my Roku player. But while watching a program this morning, I heard someone mention the 3ABN Radio Music Channel.All of a sudden, it dawned on me that your radio channel was listed on Roku, along with many other available choices; but for whatever reason, I hadn’t listened to it. Well, today I did, and I want to tell you it’s fantastic! Love it! Thank you!”

We pray that 3ABN is a blessing to you, whether you watch, listen, or read one of our 3ABN books or publications. Thank you for all you do for those who still haven’t heard about Jesus!

By Blessing, We’re BlessedEach day, God’s Holy Spirit guides those who are seeking truth to Three Angels

Broadcasting Network, where they find answers to their questions, and a deeper understanding of the Bible. The Holy Spirit will never leave the soul who is looking

for Jesus unassisted, but reveals the things of Christ to them, giving them the capacity for increased knowledge of heavenly things, and a hunger to become more like Him. Jesus Himself promised in Matthew 5:6, “Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be filled.”

#402 - Kids Network

INGREDIENTS• 4 cups fruit (berries, peaches, mangoes, kiwi, etc.)

• ¼ cup dried fruit

Kids Club began almost 15 years ago, offering Bible lessons to children of all ages–either online or through the mail. Once all 52 lessons have been completed, the student receives a new Bible –absolutely free. Not a day goes by that I don’t hear from kids telling me how they have given their hearts to Jesus because of Kids Club.

I never get tired of hearing these “praise reports” and neither does my mother, Bernice Micheff. She is our Kids Club director and has been since the very beginning. She works tirelessly, opening the mail, reading the letters, entering all the child’s information on the computer, grading the quiz sheets, stuffing envelopes, mailing the lessons, etc. It’s fair to say that Kids Club consumes 90% of her time. Through the years, she has had volunteers who helped out, but for the last couple of years, my mom has managed the entire operation herself. She does appreciate it, though, when my dad and other family members occasionally help out by collating the lessons.

Most people want to retire when they turn 85, but my mom works from morning till night–never complaining. She is a full-time volunteer and hasn’t received a penny for her work. She only praises God that He has given her a ministry in which to serve Him. Currently, there are over 40,000 children taking Kids Club lessons from 120 different countries. It is so rewarding to see God’s hand of blessing as student after student surrenders to Jesus!

Donations NeededAs you can imagine, it costs a lot of money to operate Kids Club.

Some of the costs include printing lessons, envelopes, small gifts in each set of lessons, the free Bibles, as well as the enormous cost of stamps just to mail each package. Please prayerfully consider giving to this soul-winning ministry so that even more children can learn about their Best Friend, Jesus.

If you would like to support Kids Club or our 3ABN Kids Network, please send your tax-deductible love gifts to 3ABN Kids Network, Post Office Box 220, West Frankfort, Illinois, 62896, or call us at 618-627-4651, Monday through Thursday during regular business hours. Please keep us in prayer as we go forward sharing the gospel to God’s children around the world!
