It’s Worth Remembering Dear Partner, Recently, I heard Danny Shelton tell a miracle story in Ft. Worth, Texas, that I’d heard many times. But this time, because of the recent assassination of Boris Nemtsov in Moscow, it had more meaning than ever before. James W. Gilley In 1992, Pastor John Carter and The Carter Report ministry joined Danny Shelton and 3ABN to conduct an evangelistic series in Russia. Originally planned for Moscow, the series was moved to Nizhny Novgorod, a city known as Gorky during the Communist days, and this move proved to be providential. Pastor Carter and Danny were summoned to appear before the very young Regional Governor, Boris Nemtsov, and the Russian Orthodox leaders, and during that meeting, the governor demanded they both leave the country. Over 2,500 new Christians had just been baptized into the Seventh-day Adventist Church, and now the Russian Orthodox leaders were very angry, and had put pressure on Governor Nemtsov. The meeting was not going well for Pastor Carter, until he pulled out a letter written by a Ph.D university English professor from that city. In that letter she explained how she had never known if there was a God or not, but that He had used Pastor Carter’s meetings to change her life. Then he read the signature—Julia Outkina—and the governor said, “That’s my sister!” God used that letter to change the course of history and allow Pastor Carter, Danny, and their teams to continue working in Russia. Shortly after this, 3ABN began rebuilding a partially completed building that was in shambles, and today it serves as 3ABN’s Russian headquarters, and is the largest Protestant building in the former Soviet Union! 3ABN Russian programs are now broadcast 24/7 by satellite, and our ministry continues to grow as more cable outlets are added each month. Julia Outkina continues as executive director of 3ABN Russia, and her faith is strong. God used Boris Nemtsov in 1992 just as surely as He used Nebuchadnezzar and other leaders of old. 3ABN is not involved in politics in America, Russia, or anywhere else in the world. We neither condone nor condemn his political views. But when someone does something this significant for God’s work, we feel it is certainly worth remembering. Keep On Keeping On with Jesus, James W.

COVER STORY PHOTO: JULIA LUPASHINA God performs miracles in the lives of those who trust Him and move toward Him in faith, and the small Seventh-day Adventist church that used to be located on the outskirts now stands on top of a mountain downtown! Following the evangelistic meetings, 3ABN’s board of directors and Danny Shelton made the decision to establish a 3ABN branch in Nizhny Novgorod, and the Lord found people in the United States and in Russia who answered His call with, “Here we are! Send us!” Out of an unfinished and dilapidated palace of culture that was in ruins, the Lord gradually erected a building that would later be known as our Russian Evangelism Center. As one of the city’s best modern-day attractions, this facility is also home to our Russian television and radio studios. Moving Forward in by Julia Outkina I n the late 1980s and early 1990s, evangelist John Carter and his team had a passion to reach as many Russians as possible for Jesus. And finally, their long-cherished dream came true in 1992 when they held evangelistic meetings in Nizhny Novgorod (formerly called Gorky during the Communist regime). Although the city had been closed to all foreigners for many decades, this evangelistic series turned the lives of its attendees—and the entire city—upside down! Preparation By God’s grace, and the support of 3ABN viewers, this magnificent building now houses 3ABN studios, Seventh-day Adventist Conference offices, and two large church congregations! I am humbled when I look back on how the Lord taught me all the skills I would need for this multi-functional ministry long before I began working Pastor Jim Gilley said that if he ever felt the obvious, practically, tangible move of the Holy Spirit, it was during a live program when he was clearly impressed that 3ABN Russia should go on satellite 24/7.

Later, I was privileged to work at the newly completed Christian television studio as a host, then as chief editor of Christian programs, and finally, as executive director. At first, individual 3ABN Russian programs were being carried by over 200 regional stations in Russia and abroad, but God was preparing us for a much larger future, first with Internet broadcasting in 2009, and then satellite broadcasting in 2013! 3ABN president, Pastor Jim Gilley, said that if he ever felt the obvious, practically tangible move of the Holy Spirit, it was during a live program during that year’s 3ABN Homecoming Camp Meeting. During that event he was clearly impressed that 3ABN Russia should go on satellite 24/7, and he announced this as a step of faith, right on the air! What a wonderful surprise that was for all of us. With a large library of programs, but only a few hours of airtime, this had been our long-cherished dream—although we never dared to Julia Outkina during surprise announcement about 3ABN Russia going on satellite.

(Left): Map shows the Yamal 401 satellite coverage over Russia. (Above): 3ABN Russia was blessed to be at the CSTB 2015 international convention. hope it might come true, since it meant a significant financial commitment every month. But it did come true through the wonderful support of our 3ABN viewers, and we began broadcasting our 3ABN Russia network via satellite on November 23, 2013! What a tremendous event in the history of salvation for the Russian-speaking people of this planet! New Opportunity For the next year we earnestly worked to enter into partnerships with cable companies that would include us in their channel lineup, and since then, God has blessed us by signed agreements with 30 cable companies that cover 44 cities and seven towns all over Russia! This was far more than we expected, but many more cities still remain unreached. So to become better known to the Russian television market, we set our sights on taking part in CSTB 2015, an international cable company, TV content, and satellite communications convention in Moscow this year. 6 3ABN World | May 2015 I must admit to being rather doubtful about participating in this event, since we had very limited resources. But our 3ABN Russia team insisted, “Let’s go ahead in faith!” and I’m glad we did. God blessed us tremendously and performed a number of miracles that gave us funds to pay for the participation fee, print 2,000 catalogs and 4,000 booklets, design a beautiful booth, and prepare nice gifts for our partners! In my eyes, one of the most power- ful miracles happened with our booth placement. Originally we were given a less expensive place in a far corner of the convention hall. But, for some reason, the organizers had to change the booth layout, and moved us to a busy crossing next to a well-known Russian TV company! In addition, they placed our channel into their official catalog—and never asked us to pay for it. Certainly the Lord is on His throne, and is performing His perfect will! How could I have been doubtful about participating in this event? Huge Success We are happy to report that participating in CSTB 2015 was a huge success. Over 22,000 people came through the exhibits, including representatives from over 400 cable companies in Russia and the former Soviet Union. Despite the fact that many of them were learning about 3ABN Russia for the first time, ten companies offered to broadcast our programs immediately, PHOTO: KATYA PETREYEVA and 60 others gave us their contact information and took our materials for consideration. In addition, six re-broadcasters offered to partner with us via IPTV (streaming television over the Internet). Our 3ABN Russia news will be covered in Russian periodicals such as TV Week, Cable Operator, TV Satellite, and Television and Radio Broadcasting. There were even people willing to distribute our programs in airplanes and hotels! Special Thanks PHOTO: VADIM TRUSYUK MAP: SVETLANA CHRISTIAN Big Challenge Despite the fact that many of them were learning about 3ABN Russia for the first time, ten companies offered to broadcast our programs immediately, and 60 others gave us their contact information. Many things that happened at this convention came as a surprise to us, and we give praise to our Lord for His mighty miracles! We also thank each of you, our dear supporters.

The host, Dr. John Hammond, is the President of Asian Aid, and we believe God will open more doors in Asia for this programme.” the WORD PHOTO: SS/ PIXELHEADPHOTO Made Audible by Dr. Barry Harker A few months ago I invited 3ABN Australia Radio manager, Dr. Barry Harker, to give us some news. He very graciously agreed and sent us this report. Such exciting things going on “down under!” Please keep them, and all 3ABN Radio outlets, in your prayers. —Nikki Anderson, 3ABN Radio Our Purpose Our tag line is 3ABN Australia Radio: The Word Made Audible. How do you like it? It captures our evangelistic focus at 3ABN Australia Radio. Every program we produce for our regional listeners in Australia, New Zealand, and Papua New Guinea has an identifiable evangelistic purpose, and God is opening doors for our programmes to reach a wider audience. Evangelistic Outreach Last January a church team from Queensland conducted an evangelistic series on Ontong Java, an isolated atoll to the north of the Solomon Islands. When Seventh-day Adventists tried to enter in 2007, they were chased out; but this time they were welcomed, and 3ABN Australia Radio supplied programmes for the radio station that was established. Dr. Barr y Harker’s background is in education, so he feels a great need for programming for all ages—but especially children and young people. 8 Programs in Nepal 3ABN Australia Radio’s innovative and exciting Children’s Story Hour is being broadcast by 3 Angels Nepal, whose station reaches about two thirds of Nepal. Natalee McLean, who produces that programme, along with 3ABN Australia’s TV programme, A Day with the King, expresses her excitement. “We have wonderful expectations 3ABN World | May 2015 Touching Lives Closer to home, there are indications that programmes are reaching their intended audience. One man told a 3ABN Australia supporter how he appreciated an interview that he heard with Pastor Colin Winch, a retired missionary pilot and church administrator. The stories touched him powerfully, which surprised him, as he considered himself to have no religious inclinations. There’s an avenue through which God can touch the life of each listener with the gospel. Our role is to produce a diverse range of programmes that package the good news in appealing ways. It may be a story, a Bible presentation, a book reading, or a discussion. It might be a devotional, a prayer, or a piece of carefully selected music. God knows what’s required, and He inspires us to produce programmes with relevant focus and content. 3ABN Australia Radio began broadcasting in September 2014 and combines our local content with 3ABN Radio (USA) content. We began with three locally produced programmes, and by the end of this year, we’ll be producing a suite of 12 locally produced programmes each week, covering the Bible, prophecy, science, children, youth, lifestyle, human interests, and other topics. Additionally, radio documentaries on the 800th anniversary of the signing of the Magna Carta, and the centenary of the death of Ellen G. White will be broadcast in June and July, respectively. Action Plan Behind all this is our action plan for 2015 called Ten Thousand Points of Light. It’s an integrated approach to radio evangelism, including the establishment of a pastoral team and the revitalization of our radio website. We’ve asked God for 10,000 regular listeners who are not of our faith. You can be part of the fulfillment of our mission by praying for us, financially supporting our radio development fund, and promoting us. If you have family, friends, or colleagues living in Australia, New Zealand, or Papua New Guinea, please consider inviting them to connect with our radio programmes.

But then they began having problems coming up with the necessary funds, and began to fall behind. Finally, I received a call from Pastor Miguel Ramos, who told me the churches had decided to tell the station owner that they were unable to continue renting the channels. Pastor Ramos made that sad phone call and gave the bad news, but what he heard next really shocked him! “No, I will not turn off the channels!” the owner declared. “These channels are blessing our community, and I cannot turn them off. However, I can’t give these stations to you for free. Please meet with your people and see what you can do. But for now, I will not turn them off!” by John Dinzey “No, I will not turn off the channels!” the owner declared. 10 3ABN World | May 2015 3ABN Latino Rally logical and worthwhile investment. About two years ago, Steve and Rosa Denny felt a burden to accomplish this and rented two TV channels to rebroadcast 3ABN’s flagship network and 3ABN Latino at a cost of $7,000 a month. They paid for two months, and in a meeting with the members of the board of the Houston Central Seventh-day Adventist Church, they said, “We’ll pay for one more month, if you’ll take over making the monthly payments to keep both channels on the air.” After hearing that story, I called 3ABN founder, Danny Shelton, and 3ABN president, Pastor Jim Gilley. They decided we should encourage the Houston church members to continue this worthy project, Tremendous Opportunity The members of the church saw this as a tremendous opportunity to preach the gospel in Houston 24 hours a day, so they accepted their offer, and many of the 65 Adventist churches throughout the city kept up the monthly payments PHOTO: IDALIA DINZEY PHOTO: SS / VS1488 Y ou don’t have to watch television for very long to realize that it’s one of the most used mediums in advertising, since advertisers know they can reach millions of people in a moment of time.

On Friday my wife Idalia and I presented the message and shared testimonies in the Alief Spanish Seventh-day Adventist Church, followed by Pastor Jim Gilley’s Sabbath School, and an inspiring worship service by Danny Shelton at a packed Houston Central Seventh-day Adventist Church. Even more blessings came that afternoon as we heard inspirational music from Reggie and Ladye Love Smith, and inspiring messages and testimonies from Danny Shelton, Jim Gilley, and my wife Idalia. Pastors Ramos and Rojas told us that since they began inserting a local number on those channels, they’ve received many calls asking for prayer, for directions to their churches, and for Bible studies. In fact, someone had already been baptized! We encourage you to pray for the churches in the Houston area, as they endeavor to keep 3ABN and 3ABN Latino on the air and bring the everlasting gospel to the millions of people in that great city. May 2015 | 3ABN World 11 3ABN Dare to Dream by Dr. Yvonne Lewis a ny graduation ceremonies take place around the end of May, and although I must admit that they’re not my favorite event, the excitement of the students and their families is infectious! Graduates and their families are proud of their accomplishments, career plans are made, and after the ceremony, graduates toss their caps in the air in celebration. However, in sharp contrast to that celebratory mood, we have the everyday life of the child that can’t read. Our inner-city children in particular, are illiterate, and these statistics will shock you: 86% of black boys in Washington, D.C., can’t read Only 3% of black children in Detroit are proficient in reading 82% of black children in the United States can’t read 12 3ABN World | May 2015 Only 11% of black males who graduate from New York City schools are college ready Are our children unteachable? Absolutely not! Studies show that when these same children are worked with one-on-one, their grades improve, self-confidence goes through the roof, and their behavior is markedly different. So what can we do? Dare to Dream’s mission is to offer the gospel and tools for living to the inner city, so how can we help improve their spiritual lives while offering them the tool of reading? PHOTO: (SPRAY)SS/ MIKE MCDONALD (WALL)SS/ DONATAS1205 (CAN)SS/ RANGIZZZ Unteachable? Well, we have been given a great solution! We are suggesting that pastors around the country open literacy, or reading centers in their churches! Think about it: their churches will be open to the community several nights a week, drawing innercity residents and allowing them to get familiar with their services and personnel. They will offer children a positive experience in learning, and lead them to seek God in His Word, for now they can begin to read it for themselves! For pastors who have been seeking more community involvement, this is a no-brainer. This plan also works for retired schoolteachers who want to make a difference. One literac y program that has impressed us at Dare to Dream is called, TestOurKids.com. This is an outstanding program, tailor-made for our children. The founder and CEO of TestOurKids.com is Yusuf Salaam, a man who is passionate about literacy. He says, “Everyday I think, I can change these children’s lives! We’re fighting for our children, and that cannot stop!” Yusuf is serious about helping our kids, and literacy is his legacy. decline in our secular society, and you have a recipe for disaster! Pointing the finger of blame won’t solve the problem, and once we understand the magnitude of illiteracy in our inner cities, we can’t just ignore it. We want to be part of the solution: concerned laymen, preachers, and teachers can open up reading centers, introducing community residents to our churches and making it possible for them to get better jobs. It’s a win-win! New worlds will open up to our children. They’ll find spiritual guidance in God’s Word and be able to share it with others, too.

For those of us in America, the late fall and early winter days are dominated by the big family and travel holidays of Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year. And as much as these holidays engender a great sense of joy and family fellowship, as a rule, they leave in their wake a laundry list of potential misery. This misery includes paying for things we bought on credit (much to our regret), and eating too much, too often, and too late. Then there’s that unavoidable letdown we experience after a time of great joy and celebration. The house is quiet, the guests have gone home, and we’re left to return to our old routine. Then there’s the fact that the colder months are usually beset by drab, slate gray, sunless days that tend towards depression. Adding to this toxic stew is the fact that the cold usually keeps us in the house for long periods of time, causing vitamin D to drop due to lack of sunlight. We breath and re-breath stale furnace-heated air that’s rarely exchanged for fresh, outside air. Our windows are closed, and many times, covered with a clear plastic film to keep the heat in and the cold out. All these factors conspire to create a depressive state that can last for long periods of time. Devil’s Tool So how can we get out of that state of mind? Depression is not something we want to be in for long periods of time. Ellen White cautions us that depression is a tool of the devil and should be avoided like the plague! First, we must remember that the Lord never sends us discouragement! There’s nothing to be gained from surrendering to depression, but there’s much that can be lost! Next, consider the fact that cold winter days provide a great opportunity to spend time in God’s Word. Let the sun of the Son of Righteousness shine His love light into your room. You will find that Bible reading is a great blessing; but Bible study is panning for gold! Your search will be greatly rewarded, since the Lord promises great spiritual rewards to those who spend time studying the Scriptures. May I also suggest you spend some time watching uplifting Christian preaching and teaching on television? You may use any facilitating media—from your television to your smartphone, or your tablet—and 3ABN Proclaim! fits that bill nicely! Results After you’ve spent time in these activities, you may be sufficiently motivated to engage in something that may be the strongest prescription to cure most depressions: Find someone or some cause to get involved in. There’s scarcely an activity that is more calculated to fight depression than service to or for someone else. That’s what happens to young people on short-term mission trips. They get out of themselves, and get freedom from and over self. Their renewed focus on and participation in the work of the Lord is a God-inspired remedy that works every time! Balance your spiritual growth regimen: do some reading, do some studying, and add a little Christian television. Then arise from the feet of Jesus and go serve! This prescription will see you through. It is guaranteed as certainly as the God who designed it.

THRONES PHOTO: RACETRACK” BY LGCHARLOT S omething you don’t see every day is happening in California’s Death Valley National Park. Located within the park is a dried lakebed called the Racetrack Playa. And found on the surface of that lakebed are rocks that move... on their own. Or so it seems. After discovering that rocks were leaving trails behind them, scientists set out to explain how these heavy, lifeless objects were able to move from one place to another. First they thought it was the strong winds, and then they thought it was the sand whirlwinds, or dust devils. Next, they thought people must have been playing a joke, because many of those rocks weighed as much as 700 pounds! It wasn’t possible that a person or even a windstorm could push those rocks around! Finally, a NASA scientist discovered the real answer to this puzzling question. He found that the rocks moved only under the right weather conditions. During the night, if the lakebed is covered in just a shallow amount of water, the falling temperatures cause the water to freeze. Then the ice that forms around the rocks makes them float just a little off the ground, and the blowing wind pushes them across the muddy lakebed floor, etching a trail. When the sun comes up, the water evaporates and the lakebed dries back up, leaving an impression in the ground. We leave an impression everywhere we go, too. Whether it’s at school, a store, the playground, or a friend’s house, always remember that we are an example of who Jesus is. Strive each day to leave behind trails of kindness, compassion, friendliness, and love, so that others will see Jesus in you! “Let no one despise your youth, but be an example to the believers in word, in conduct, in love, in spirit, in faith, in purity.” 1 Timothy 4:12 (NIV) PHOTO: SHUTTERSTOCK.COM/ STEPHEN BURES Bible Verse: A dust devil is not powerful enough to move one of the large stones.

Answered PRAYER SHE HEARD GOD THROUGH A 3ABN RUSSIAN PROGRAM by Elena Polaskova Translated by Martina Gembalova PHOTO: MARIA HOZOVA Testimony we married. You see, I was an atheist, and now I was married to a believer! They tried to persuade me of their “truth,” but I was quite adamant. “Leave me alone about your God and your Bible,” I said. “I don’t want to discuss this!” They respected my wishes. BLESSED Gradually I began to learn about the Bible in a way that was acceptable to me: logical and understandable. That method of learning continues today. Three years later, I was baptized, and my extraordinary life with God began. I enjoyed going to the Seventh-day Adventist church, and tried to participate in all their events. I got involved in presenting healthy cooking classes and shared Jesus with my family in Russia. The Lord blessed my efforts, and my parents decided to get baptized. Then my friend Natasha, her mother, and another friend were baptized, followed by my husband and his older brother in Slovakia. Even my sister-in-law and her daughter were baptized after his abrupt death, and I praise God for all of them! My desire to read the Bible and learn more about Jesus and His ministry ignited a passion to share this with others. So when I heard a call in church for literature evangelists, I quit my elementary school job immediately. It had been a good way to learn the Slovak language, and the salary was Nineteen-year-old Elena didn’t believe in God, but nevertheless, He was already planning a bright future for her. adequate. But there wasn’t much to do, so it became monotonous. Now I was working for the Lord, though, and for the next six years He blessed my work and five people were baptized as a result. I thank God for those wonderful experiences! PHOTO SUPPLIED M y name is Elena, and I was born in the Soviet Union in 1963, when God’s Word was still forbidden. I knew Karl Marx’s famous statement, “Religion is the opium of the people” all too well, and my family members didn’t believe in God, except for my grandmother Evdokija, who worshiped an image of God that hung in a corner of her room. I remember saying, “Grandma, why should I talk to a picture? How does it know what is right? God doesn’t exist, anyway!” At the time, I had no idea there were other believers, except for the badly dressed and illiterate old women who wore scarves and went to church to pray from time to time. When I looked at them, I thought, Karl Marx was right! During my third year at the university I met a Czechoslovak man who was there on the Druzhba (Friendship) Exchange Program. After graduation we married and moved back to his country. My mother-in-law, Esther, made a strong impression on me. She had a cheerful, helpful, and open nature, and she became my only friend until I met other women my age. But I was shocked to discover that my husband’s family was religious, and I was Elena’s grandmother Evdokija worshipped an image of God very disappointed that he had not shared that hung in the corner of her room. “I remember saying to her, ‘Grandma, why should I talk to a picture? How does it this important information with me before PHOTO SUPPLIED know what is right? God doesn’t exist, anyway!’” BITTERNESS However, there’s more to this story. Six months after my baptism, an American pastor held a large evangelistic series in our city. Many people attended the meetings, and I was one of those who assisted by giving Bible studies. When it was over, so many people were baptized that we had to start a whole new church! The new believers needed a lot of instruction on how to study the Bible and how to know and implement God’s will into their lives. But along the way, the problems May 2015 | 3ABN World 21 Testimony Cont. that arose created an unfriendly atmosphere. For six years I struggled to overcome those problems, but finally, I was so disappointed that I stopped going to church. Not long afterwards, problems with my marriage ended in a divorce, and I felt very alone. I longed for fellowship with my brothers and sisters in Jesus, and I still believed in the church doctrines. I faithfully returned my tithe, and never worked on Sabbath. I even tried to encourage others to attend my former church, but it was hard to invite people to a church service I didn’t attend myself. But God was merciful, and some of those people actually did come. HE SPOKE TO ME During that lonely time I began asking, Lord, are there any other people on this earth with whom I can fellowship? Are there any who can love me as their sister in Christ, people who I can love in return? I had always appreciated the words of Ellen White, since they had strengthened my faith and kept me from becoming disappointed with God. Now, as I read her writings, I longed to find others who wanted that same close relationship that she had with Him. Time passed, and one Friday night I began searching for something spiritual on the Internet—and that’s when I discovered 3ABN Russia! The first program I watched was Marina Potapova’s testimony As Elena watched Marina Potapova’s testimony on 3ABN on our Face to Face program, and I nearly Russia’s Face to Face program, tears rolled down her stopped breathing when I realized that cheeks. “I watched for six hours, and finally understood God’s answer to my prayer.” God was speaking through her to me! I couldn’t take my eyes off the computer and tears rolled down my cheeks as I watched for six hours. Finally, I understood God’s answer to my prayer: Elena, the people who surrender their lives to My leading are your brothers and sisters! DEEP FORGIVENESS Another essential message I received was that my relationship with my former brothers and sisters from church was not right. I needed to repent from my sin of hatred; however, forgiveness did not come easily. Finally, I did exactly what I’d heard in those testimonies: I knelt down, closed my eyes, and poured everything out to the Lord. I told Him, I don’t love them, Lord, and I don’t know what to do with these feelings. 22 3ABN World | May 2015 As 3ABN Russia’s production manager, Elena oversees the development and recording of programs that air on our Russian satellite network.

The impression was very strong, but the miracle didn’t happen in my heart until I was on my way to church the next month. The closer I got, the more I felt a great love for these people welling up inside me. This was not ordinary sympathy. It was an unearthly, ethereal love. By the time I arrived, I couldn’t help but hug and kiss every one of them—I simply loved them all! This overwhelming feeling remained for several hours. It was extraordinary and delightful! GOD’S LOVE I’ve had this same experience several other times, as well. A good friend whom I’d known for 19 years was married to a man whom I honestly did not like because of the way he treated her. I’d told him how I felt several times, pleading with him to change his behavior, but nothing helped. One day, as I visited them, he began complaining about work—how difficult it was, and how people weren’t very nice. “Nothing ever works out for me,” he complained. And then it happened. I was suddenly compelled to tell him that he was the one who needed to change, but even as I spoke those words, I felt God’s powerful love for this struggling soul, and it grew stronger by the minute. I knelt down, closed my eyes, and Unexpectedly, he began to agree with me, and before poured everything out to the Lord. long he was begging God for I told Him, I don’t love them, Lord, forgiveness, right there in the and I don’t know what to do with kitchen! Now both of us were these feelings. crying so much that we could hear the tears dripping onto the kitchen table. His wife and I were stunned as he confessed to her that he was to blame for his failures—something he’d never been able to admit before. Then, turning to me, he asked what he should do, so I gave him a link to some 3ABN Russian programs on relationships that had just been translated into Slovak. May 2015 | 3ABN World 23 Testimony Cont. PHOTO: ALEXEY BOCHKAREV God impressed me three times to come to Russia and serve 3ABN with my talents, so when I was offered a position there, I agreed without hesitation. Elena speaks with her director, Vadim Trusyuk. Together they plan for a program in 3ABN’s Russian studios. Finally, I understood clearly that the most important words in Heaven are unconditional love, and that the most severe sin is to not love! 1 John 3:10–14 says, “In this the children of God and the children of the devil are manifest: Whoever does not practice righteousness is not of God, nor is he who does not love his brother. For this is the message that you heard from the beginning, that we should love one another, not as Cain who was of the wicked one and murdered his brother. And why did he murder him? Because his works were evil and his brother’s righteous. Do not marvel, my brethren, if the world hates you. We know that we have passed from death to life, because we love the brethren. He who does not love his brother abides in death.” (Emphasis supplied.) God used those experiences to make clear that He wanted me back in church, and I thank Him for giving me the wisdom and strength to do so. I could not keep what God had done for me to myself, so I decided to share it with those around me. I realized that many problems could be solved with the help of 3ABN Russian programs, so I began to show them to a small group at church. Soon a decision was made to translate them into Slovak and distribute them via personal e-mail contacts to approximately 300 people. The feedback was huge! People loved the programs, so we decided to start our own website to post 3ABN programs and articles. TALENTS During this time, through God’s leading, I realized I needed to support 3ABN Russia financially. Later, I was invited by the network to come visit them in Russia, and what a great blessing it was to see how they operated! 24 3ABN World | May 2015 At the time I was working as a business trainer, and Tatiana Malysheva asked me to record a session with her called, “Leadership and Christianity” for her series, My Character and Me. God blessed, and I was able to get a permit to return to Nizhny Novgorod the following year for the recording. While I was there I was asked to provide the TV staff with some training on how to better understand each other at work, using information about personality types. Now I must mention an important matter. Before my second visit to Russia, God distinctly impressed me three times that I could best use all the talents He’d given me in Russia, and particularly in Nizhny Novgorod. So you can imagine why I was quick to agree after I got the call to work there! This is a big step for me, since I’ll be leaving the place I know to live in a completely new city, and a country that I don’t know very well at all. But the Lord prepared me in advance by revealing His will for me very clearly. I’m so happy that I can serve the Lord in both management and in the creation of new programs. I’ve been volunteering for seven months as 3ABN Russia’s production manager as I wait for my temporary resident permit, but I often remember my prayer six years ago, “My Heavenly Father, You have given me so many talents. You have taught me so many precious things. Please send me where I can best honor Your gifts and work for You and for humanity!” All this has happened. May His Holy Name be glorified! .

the Good Morning Show on New Zealand national television. International Cooking After meeting Jeremy in New Zealand, and seeing the Revive Café cookbooks, 3ABN’s Brenda Walsh invited him to be a guest cook on her weekly 3ABN Today cooking program. At that time, 3ABN’s program development manager, Shelley Quinn, asked him to chat with her about his vision for a cooking program after they had finished taping. As Jeremy tells it, “I love all cooking shows, however my vision was different from any 3ABN had done before. So I told Shelley that I would love to do a show that would portray the way I cook a meal at home.” With every meal component made from scratch, and several pots on the stove at once, the program would need to be to be fast-paced. “Shelley loved the concept,” Jeremy Chef Jeremy Dixon prepares amazing dishes from the new Cook:30 Cookbook! PHOTO: VERITY DIXON 38 3ABN World | May 2015 PHOTO: VERITY DIXON H ow would you like to sample the cuisine of New Zealand’s most famous healthy vegetarian café? Well here’s your chance! 3ABN’s exciting new television program Cook:30 is bringing the delicious flavors and easy cooking style of New Zealand’s Revive Café into your home! Revive Café sits in the heart of Auckland and is the brainchild of Jeremy Dixon. Opened in 2004, the café uses plenty of fresh produce together with plant-based protein sources like beans, legumes, and tofu. Whole grains, such as brown rice, quinoa, and wholemeal flour are used instead of highly processed grains; date puree is used instead of sugar; and the café does not serve anything containing caffeine or alcohol. This formula proved so successful that four years later, a second Revive Café was opened just a few blocks away. Today they serve healthy plant-based food to over 2,500 people a week! Jeremy has dedicated his life to sharing healthy food with people, and over the ten years since launching Revive Café, he’s learned how to make delicious healthy food quickly, and at a great value. He’s shared his recipes in the best-selling Revive Café cookbook series, and is a Jeremy says that with the Cook:30 series, viewers can learn how to produce a range of meals for their family – from sumptuous leisurely breakfasts to aromatic Asian flavors and hearty hotpot dinners. Each episode will show how to cook four or five dishes from scratch, using plant-based whole foods, and have them ready to serve in just 30 minutes! But don’t worry—you don’t need to write down all the recipes during the show! The series is captured in the beautiful Cook:30 Cookbook, which contains full-color photographs of each recipe, and over 500 preparation photographs to show you how it’s done. In each of the 26 episodes, each section contains a flowchart showing when to attend to each dish in order to assemble a multi-component meal, just like a chef would. And the beauty is that each recipe is presented and indexed separately, so the book can also be used as a regular cookbook! You’ll love learning to cook fast, healthy, and delicious meals with Jeremy Dixon and Cook:30!

TARASOVA I have chosen this recipe because my beloved grand-mother Evdokija used to cook this soup very often when I was a little girl. While working as a nutrition coach, the participants in my cooking classes also enjoyed this soup very much. I hope you do, too!

Their soluble fiber helps control cholesterol and plaque buildup, as well as irritable bowel syndrome and diverticulosis. Peas are a good source of protein, B-vitamins, and isoflavones, known to reduce the risk of breast and prostate cancer.

Many pathogens like viruses and bacteria are spread from human to human. But sometimes animals spread disease: bats and Ebola, rabbits and tularemia, pigs and trichinosis, chickens and salmonella, mosquitos and malaria, avian flu, mad cow disease, and rabies, to name a few. Then there’s contaminated feces that spread diseases like campylobacter. In all, there are more than 30 diseases spread by animals and nearly 50 more that are spread by bugs. Treatment often involves giving someone an antibiotic, or just living through the illness. But avoiding the problem might be an easier and more effective solution. Avoidance is one of the best methods to prevent disease, and quarantine is a useful measure to prevent its spread. This method of disease control has been present through the ages. Now, let’s look around the world at the spread of chronic diseases, such as diabetes, hypertension, and heart disease. Would staying away from the causative vector be a good idea? Could we quarantine people from the causative agent? I suggest that if we avoid chronic exposure, the risks diminish—just as staying away from sick people diminishes our flu exposure. Avoid cigarettes and the risk of developing lung cancer diminishes. Avoid fats and you’ll lower the risk of cardiovascular disease. Avoid processed foods and lower your risk of hypertension. Limit the exposure to high fructose corn syrup and processed sugar and lower your risk of “catching” diabetes. Do we need vaccines for chronic diseases, or do we just need common sense? As many countries are lowering their rates of infectious disease, the rates of chronic disease are on the rise. Chronic disease is harmful to the economy— not only because of the cost involved in treatment, but also because of lost productivity. We probably cannot quarantine a country from high fructose corn syrup, cigarettes, or fats, but it is a thought. We don’t think twice against avoiding infectious diseases and the vectors that cause the problem. Let’s use some common sense and avoid the vectors that are now taking more lives than the flu! Our Great Physician wants us to be healthy. He will help us use common sense. www.heartwiseministries.org May 2015 | 3ABN World 43 Devotional concluded is that if I ever get my hands believes in Him should not perish but on my inner child, he “needs spanked!” have everlasting life.” John 3:16.

But can there be a clearer indication of how He feels about us than what Paul wrote in Roman 8:38–39? “For I am persuaded that neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities nor powers, nor things present nor things to come, nor height nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.” by Bobby Davis The truth is that I tried the mirror trick a few times; but honestly, it never worked for me. 44 3ABN World | May 2015 back on it, I realize how sad his character was—and how sad I was, for that matter. All my life I wanted to be good enough, smart enough, and have people like me, but instead I was plagued by a feeling of anxious apartness. I always felt like I was on the outside looking in! Confession Time Okay, it’s confession time. The truth is that I tried the mirror trick a few times; but honestly, it never worked for me because my fear of what other people thought of me would not be tamed. Repeating those affirmations didn’t make them come true, and every attempt to boost my self-esteem ended in failure. I remember being caught up in trying to “connect with my inner child,” too, but after years of watching the experts, all I’ve Worth Dying For PHOTO: SS/ B CALKINS / NIELS HARIOT I ’m not sure when the term came into our modern vocabulary, but the word “self-esteem” has been around since the mid-1600s. It’s also changed in meaning, from “thinking too much of yourself,” to “feeling good about yourself.” I guess it’s little wonder that it’s become a buzzword in today’s “feel good” society. But what is self-esteem all about? Some years ago, a popular television program featured an ongoing skit of a mock self-help show called Daily Affirmations with Stuart Smalley. Stuart, played by current United States Senator Al Franken of Minnesota, would sit in front of a mirror and repeat affirmations to himself before going live on his fictional television program. He was always trying to convince himself that he was good enough, smart enough, and that people really liked him. We laughed at his crazy psychobabble, but as I think The only way to know our self-worth is to know how much we’re worth to our Heavenly Father, and the Scriptures are clear: “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever Just look at the benefits: • Up to 9 % interest, based on age is the time . . . ...to start a 3ABN Charitable Gift Annuity • Fixed income for life • A tax deduction on the amount funded • A major portion of the payment is tax-free! • Start with just $5,000 (Single) or $10,000 (Joint) • Legal document fees paid by 3ABN Call us for more information! 800-886-4800 | [email protected] Roy & Earlenne Hunt | PO Box 220 | West Frankfort, IL 62896 Pastor’s Page W by Joe O’Brien hen I was a kid, my grandpa played baseball in the minor leagues, in the Sacramento Valley. On occasion, he played against Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig. He had pictures and baseballs signed by both of them. A lot of people looked to Babe Ruth as kind of a hero, because he was the first player to hit 714 home runs. I was impressed too—until I found out that as a left-handed hitter, hitting to the right field fence in his home stadium in New York, he only had to hit the ball 296 feet for a home run. Meanwhile, Willie Mays, in his home stadium of Candlestick Park, hitting to the center field fence (410 feet away), could drive the ball up to 400 feet, and it would be caught for an out. This didn’t seem fair. John Wayne could have been my hero, too, but I noticed he could shoot nine or ten people without reloading his gun that only held six bullets. My Hero Sadly, even if we look at each other as heroes, we all still end up in the grave. But there is one Hero who walked out of the grave, and offers to raise us out of our graves, too. He gave us life and now offers us eternal life. Who else can give you that? Imagine this Hero who brings justice, mercy, power, wisdom, knowledge, and love to the friendship. But our Creator has an adversary who wants to replace God’s standard of Law with his own standard. Satan continues trying to eclipse God’s standard with his own, but his standards are proving to be self-destructive. Satan tries to make men think When God says, that God’s Standards are restric“Thou shalt not steal,” tive, when they are actually He’s not restricting you from loving protections. When stealing...

Dean Davis W hen God gives Israel His covenant at Mount Sinai, He functions as both their God and their King. So when He requests them to build a portable sanctuary, He wants it located in the middle of their encampment. It will be His dwelling place, and will allow Him to move with His people. Royal Palace The ancient Hebrews think in a concrete and literal manner, so God uses visual cues to help them understand His sovereignty and His mercy. The sanctuary is in one sense a royal palace, with two rooms and an outer court. The throne room contains the golden ark, covered with winged cherubim at either end. In the ancients’ way of thinking, these are throne guardians. The ark represents the lower part of God’s throne or His footstool, since God says, “Heaven is My throne and earth is My footstool.” Its lid is the mercy seat, where in ancient times, one received mercy by bowing at the king’s feet. The adjacent room is the king’s living quarters with three pieces of furniture. On the north side is the table of showbread with twelve loaves of bread and a pitcher with a bowl to Dr. R . Dean Davis is a retired theology pour wine into. This indicates that food and drink are provided for the professor who writes king. On the south side stands the seven-branched golden lampstand from South Lancaster, Massachuset ts. His that gives light to the room, and on the west side, next to the curtain son, Bobby Davis, is of the throne room, is the golden altar of incense. It provides perfume the managing editor for both rooms, since the curtain did not reach to the ceiling. for 3ABN World. 48 3ABN World | May 2015 God’s Temple The sanctuary is also God’s temple with its golden furniture. It has a court and two rooms—the Most Holy Place and the Holy Place. In the Most Holy Place, the ark symbolizes the footstool of His throne, demonstrating that He is God of both Heaven and earth. On the north side of the Holy Place is the table with showbread, also known as the bread of His presence. The twelve loaves of bread represent the twelve tribes of Israel who are always in His presence. They also serve as Israel’s continual thank offering to God. On the south side stands the seven-branched lampstand, fueled by pure olive oil. It symbolizes the light of God’s presence. Finally, next to the curtain that separates the Holy Place from the Most Holy Place, is the altar of incense. The sweet smell from it permeates the room and rises over the curtain to perfume the Most Holy Place. This incense symbolizes the prayers of the righteous that ascend to God. How God Deals With Sin The layout of the sanctuary demonstrates how God deals with sin. The entrance to the court is on the east, where the worshiper approaches God. The sinner seeks forgiveness by bringing a lamb as a sin offering, and the priest offers it on the altar of whole burnt offering. He then cleanses himself at the laver and enters the Holy Place with the blood, thereby transferring the sin to the sanctuary. In the Holy Place, the smoke of the altar of incense rises over the curtain into the Most Holy Place as the high priest intercedes for the sinner before God. On the yearly Day of Atonement, the sanctuary is cleansed of all sin. In His wisdom, God uses the sanctuary to communicate His covenant in a show-and-tell manner. His sanctuary is both a divine dwelling place and a royal palace—each with their distinctive functions and multiple meanings. In His wisdom, God uses the sanctuary to communicate His covenant in a show-and-tell manner. His sanctuary is both a divine dwelling place and a royal palace.
