Stage Iv Cancer Recovery Through Heavenly Physician - (August 28, 2010)
Hi Everyone A month ago I sent an email about my sister Shanthi who was in stage IV cancer. She has a 7 month old baby girl & 9-year-old boy. The doctor's who gave up on her saying she will survive only for 5 months & she couldn't take any chemo or any other treatment because she got so weak. But she doesn't want to give up she was still planning to go to the hospital the next day to take chemo but on the same one of the guest pastor from Germany who came to their church on Sabbath visited her & prayed for her and advised her not to take chemo instead go for natural therapy treatment, which has no side effects, which is the God's way. Then God changed my sister's mind & she made a decision to follow the natural treatment now she is eating very healthy food like veggies, fruits, nuts & fresh juices. What a miracle now my sister is feeling much better now. She is walking without walker; she is taking care of herself & also her baby girl, boy & helping her family in cooking & in other daily activities. Previously she was bed ridden not able to walk, sit or stand for a while. However, now by the grace of our Heavenly father & physicians she can now walk, sit, stand for hours & do her activities, also help her family out. Now my sister is facing the 7th month by the power of God. I just want to say that the Doctors & the medical team can give up on us but our heavenly father who is the creator will not give up on us because he is the GREAT PHYSICIAN. I strongly believe that all this happened because of our prayers. I thank each and every one of you who are praying for her. Please continue to pray for her, her husband & her kids. Thanks Hannah Jayaraman jonsyjay@yahoo.com

I called on the 3ABN prayer team regarding employment. Thank the lord I signed the contract yesterday 8/24/2010. Thank you so much for praying for me -God is in the business of meeting our need to glorify his name.

Praise Report - (July 19, 2010)
Some time ago I asked for prayer for my 47 year old son who has been an alcoholic since he was 13. Today on his birthday I spoke with him. He is going to AA, praying daily, and is ready to join the SDA Church. He will be attending the Takoma Park Church this Saturday. Thank you for your prayer and your ministry. This is the first time the addiction is being broken. He and I both know God has called him to ministry and he has been running from it. Thank you so much for your prayer support. Please continue to pray for him. Barbara Bach

Good News Update On Your Prayer Warriors Answer To Prayer in My Regard - (July 19, 2010)
Most of you are aware that I have been battling with "Large Cell B Lymphoma" since April of this year. It is located between my lungs near the Bronchial Tubes behind my Sternum. The size is approximately the size of a large orange. It has been determined that it is inoperable. Therefore we have been treating it with Chemotherapy. After three of these treatments we did a CAT scan Friday the 9th. This last Friday, the 16th, we saw the Oncologist Dr. William "Bud" Pierce of Salem Hospital and he came into the room with a big smile on his face and said that we have good news. He proceeded to tell us that the volume of the tumor had shrunk by 90 percent according to his calculations. We said, "Thanks to the good Lord as he had directed us to him." He smiled and said that now that we have this thing on the run in his judgment we should go for three more treatments and we had the first of those that day. We will have another in 21 days and another 21 days after that. Thank you all for your thoughts, prayers and well wishes. We have a great team!!! Our team consists of Jesus Christ-Team Leader, 3ABN Prayer Warriors (1700 world wide), Family and Friends, Dallas, Or. Church, Ukiah Ca. Church, other people that we are, or are not aware of but are praying for us also. - God Supporters, Dr Eugene Yamaguhi- Family Practice-discovery and referral to Specialist, Dr. James Lowry-Cardiologist, Dr Juan Oyarzun-Cardio-Thoracic Surgeon-Biopsy, Dr William "Bud" Pierce-Oncologist,-Medical/Technical Supporters. Thank God for all these wonderful people Dale and Darleene Franklin

Bless His Holy Name - (July 11, 2010)
My name is Mark, and I'm 53 and I thank God every day that I'm sober. Basically, I just wanted to party and have some fun. That was in my teen years. Later, I used alcohol for anxiety attacks and just to feel good. The feeling I got from it was like, yeah...everything’s gonna be all right. Alcohol became my best friend and we thoroughly enjoyed each other’s company for a long time. I never thought it would turn on me, or stop working, or land me in jail, and even if I had thought of the downside, I was in no way going to give it up... I could not imagine not having it. I always believed I could manage it. So I just kept on doing it, and kept on doing it, and nothing anyone said was going to make any difference, after all they don't know what it's like to be me. They don't know what I feel like and the things I have to deal with. And for the most part, they don't have a clue. Friends and loved ones can see the destruction, but they have no idea what it's really like to deal with my life. That's why only alcoholics can help other alcoholics, because we know things that the "earth people" are simply not able to relate to. We've heard it all, seen it all, and done it all. I want to say upfront that I did not sober up because I thought it was time to get my act together, or thought I should "do the right thing.” I had no intention of stopping.... ever. I just kept on going until the fun was all gone and the misery was more than the greatest high could fix. This is a progressive disease...it only gets worse. So alcohol, which was my friend, turns around and back stabs me. I had sunk into moral, and spiritual corruption--The downward spiral. Lies became my normal daily activity, and I just kept on doing it. Hitting bottom was the best thing that ever happened to me, because only then did I become willing. All the other attempts, all the foxhole prayers asking God to help me, and then when I would start to feel better, I would start right back using again. This last time was different, because I meant it. I was DONE, and I knew it. My prayer was short, I said Lord, please help me, and He did. So I did not get sober because I'm a smart guy, but because the misery was far more than anything I bargained for. I see folks in AA that are old and young, and everyone in between, rich and poor it matters not. There is hope. What I did not count on was that once I became willing, God took away the desire to put drugs and alcohol into my body, and he's doing the same for people from all walks of life... Don't give up until the miracle happens. Feel free to contact me anytime. May the LORD bless you and keep you, Mark Borrelli 130 Arthurs Pl. Stanardsville Va. 22973 honeybuns57@juno.com

God Is Always On Time - (July 9, 2010)
Dear Pastoral Staff, I contacted 3ABN twice with a prayer request for four of my friends who are unemployed. Today, july 9, one of my friends J was offered a job. Thank you for your prayers. I will continue to testify of the power of prayer

Answered Prayer - (May 30, 2010)
Dear Pastoral Staff, Recently I called in to ask you to pray for my son who was going through some very difficult trials. God has worked in a most wonderful way. There were two miracle answers to prayer that came through at just the right timing. He is not presently walking with the Lord but he knows that he has been prayed for. Please pray that this experience will draw him back to the foot of the cross. Thank you so much for your prayers for my son! Jean Davis

Testimony - Wakeing Up To the Sabbath - (May 18, 2010)
Dear Brothers in Lord Jesus, My name is Tula Gray, I live in Poland and from last few month I am regularly watching 3 ABN TV. I would like to tell you about the extraordinary God's intervention in my life, while I was watching your program. For some time (about 25 years) I was a baptized member of the Pentecostal Church. I love Jesus with all my heart and try to follow His teachings. Some few months ago (I remember it was a winter time) I accidently found the 3ABN program on my Satellite TV and one of your Pastors preached about the Sabbath. As I was for the very first time watching your program, I do not remember Pastor's name. What I remember is his preaching and my absolute fascination in what he was saying. I also remember he was talking about some alarm clock, and how people are "getting use" to it's sound. Then he said about buying a big alarm clock with two bells, which will ring over our head - " wake up! - Wake up people! (It was all of course concerning the Sabbath and the Lords Commandments). As he said this words, I heard a big bang over my head coming from my bedroom upstairs. I run over there thinking that somebody or something has broken my window, only to find out that my alarm clock - identical to that one described by Pastor -two bells and all - was laying smashed on the floor!!! I must also admit that this clock is about 30 years old, was never in use, and was place on the shelve high above the window as a decoration . It was a wintertime, so all windows were closed. Our house is far away in the country and we have no traffic over here, or any other disturbances. The clock has not been touched by nobody for a very long time and as I last remember it before the incident, it was "dusted and rusted" - looking quite old. Now it is shining like a brand new item - only glass is smashed. I must say it" woke me up" all right and made me realized, that I need to go deeper in studding the Bible. I do not have to tell you - since then I am a regular viewer of your program, Together with my 3 friends I joined the Seven Day Adventist Church (85 kilometers away!!!), and I am never the same since!!!! Thank you from the bottom of my heart! Just maybe it would be possible to find out name of this Pastor for me? I would like to tell him a few more extraordinary happenings, which accrued after his teaching. Just to mention one: - Since we started celebrating Sabbaths my friend (36) who was for many years praying for a baby find out (on the Sabbath day!!!) that she is expecting one.! All my love and blessings Yours in Him Tula - tulagray@hotmail.com

Niece Graduation On Sabbath May 8th - (May 10, 2010)
I just wanted to let you know how God answered this prayer. My brother, sister-in-law and my niece was all stressing trying to find a way to tell Mom and Dad they would not be hurt if they did not go. They would be sitting on hard seats for 2 -3 hours and some of the stuff was outside. (It was VERY windy this last weekend) Anyways Mom said you're right maybe it would be better if we didn't go but maybe if we came over for the party on Sunday! God is just awesome! I told Mom she stresses way too much. Just give it all to God. Thank you for your prayers. Judy

Praise - (April 20, 2010)
A few months ago, I asked the prayer warriors to pray for my sister-in-law, who the doctors believed had cancer, but when she went back for further tests, they didn't find anything! She has a history with cancer, she is very young (in her 20's), so I praise God, and thank everyone who prayed for Linda Rodriguez, may God bless you all, and again, thank you :) Melody Yanez

Att: Pastor Richard Pinero: A Big Ptl & Thanks! - (April 19, 2010)
Grateful thanks from Ellie regarding her situation at work, and the healing of her arm. [She is the Hospice worker who broke her arm and pulled it from the socket, etc. when she fell on black ice at work] She is back to work, in the office section. Says the Lord gave her the ability to work fast and accurately. In answer to prayer, She is off pain medication PTL [except for the days she gets physio to break up scar tissue on her arm.] She is still uncertain as to whether they plan to continue employing her in the office-and could still use prayer in that area. She has 3 years to go before retirement and would lose half her income if she were laid off before then. Marion, Reaume

Deliverence - (April 19, 2010)
When I was told about this prayer request line by a church friend. I said no, this couldn’t be real. I hesitated for a while. Then she told me if was sure I wanted my husband put the request through. I did and never regretted. Since the last time I told you that my husband (Andrew) who left home and does not support the children and that he was in police custody for the arrears. I signed a warrant for his arrest. He spent two nights there. He owed me $25,000 for child support. The day he appeared in court, he had to deposit $10,000 or would go straight to jail. His father did and he has a remainder of $15,000 to pay. Since them I have been inundated with calls. He said to me he wants to change, he is a changed man; he has spoken to pastors, (Adventist) cried in the presence of the pastor. I received a total of 139 calls. But he does not call anymore. He is disturbed. I am confused. He will put my hopes high and another time tells me he wants to be by himself. Please pray for God to tell me what to do. Because I can no longer wait for him, it is ten years. I think I will divorce. But so far I can say he is putting the $450 in the courts for the children. Please I need to know what to do. Thank God, I am no longer in want for money and I do not cry like before. Your prayers are miraculous. God Bless you all. Angelique Etienne

Hard Times - (April 3, 2010)
Dear Friends, My son's and I have an electrical contracting business and due to the times competition is really steep. The Lord has blessed us with small projects, which have kept us going. Recently after much hard work and prayer we have been awarded a very large project. Please pray that we will have wisdom to perform the task well and at all times represent our Lord in all we do. We have a good reputation because we treat others they way we want to be treated. May God be praised in all we do is my prayer. Thank you and God bless, Bob Hays

Praise for Deliverance - (March 5, 2010)
Another message of praise goes to the almighty god. I had to undergo a delicate operation, which could’ve been more complicated. I was at the Adventist hospital in Korea and they even prayed before i got into the theatre. Thanks again to the prayer warriors: they wrote so many inspiring messages of encouragement. Gods blessing on you! The doctor said that he would take a try to have me on time for the opening day of our university. I’ve recuperated fast and am in great health now. Thanks to your prayers. Lucian

Thanking God for Being My God and My Friend - (February 8, 2010)
God has been so good and continues to be. In November of 2008, I was diagnosed with a life threatening illness. Not knowing what to do and where to go, I turned to God for help and to you for prayers. With your prayers and help from the Heavenly Father, I have continued to do well. God has kept me in very good health and a clean peace of mind. It’s been more than a year now, and although I see the specialist at least four times a year for progress on my illness, I have continued to remain in about the same state as when first diagnosed. The illness has not progress. God has kept me from taking any medications so far and I believe He will continue to be my help. I am just so grateful to know that He is there for me. Thank you for all your prayers and Please continue to pray for me. For those who do not believe in prayer - Try God and see what He can do. For He is ABLE TO DO ANY AND EVERYTHING. Blessed be the name of the Lord.

Thanks Giving/Praise - (January 21, 2010)

Angel of Love - (January 19, 2010)
My two young sons, 5 & 8 years old were attending the SDA School in another county about 10 miles from home. Their uncle who should have collected them after school was delayed at the conference office. He sent a message asking a bus driver to bring them home but the driver did not receive the message and the boys were left stranded at the school. The teacher, who conducts the after-school program, realized they were not registered for her program and asked them to leave. My sons picked up their book bags and coat, and started walking home alone in the cold October evening. (This story is not about the negligence of the staff etc. God has gotten me over all the mistakes which were made to show us his power). My sons tried to retrace the bus route, which took them through three towns and many busy streets. By night fall they had walked about four miles and arrived in another town cold and hungry. They went up to a male passer-by and giving their address, asked if they were close to home. The man told them they were in a different county but before he could offer his assistance, a "lady" appeared and taking them by the hand took them to the near by grocery store, bought them potato chips and soda then took them to the nearby police station. (God kept me late at work that evening so I was unaware of the search that was on for my boys. I arrived just on time to learn that the police had called and they were found). With gratitude I contacted the police with inquires of the "lady" The address she gave does not exist, her name was not in any telephone directories and she never returned to the station. All my attempts to find this ‘lady’ were unsuccessful. I asked my sons to describe her but they could not because it was dark. They only knew she was a good lady for “she was talking to everyone they met but no one was answering her” God’s angels are present among us. Dottice, Brown - dbrown914@aol.com

Beyond A Shadow of A Doubt - A Miracle - (January 17, 2010)
When I first accepted the 7th Day Sabbath, I was a skeptic as members gave testimonies of 'unbelievable ' experiences with God. Then, I too began relating my encounters with the Almighty. The miracle I'll now relate is just one of many and its ok if you don't believe; God will give you your own. “I suffered with asthma from childhood. As I became an adult it was more severe, I lived by ventilators; I had at least one in each purse so as not to leave home without it. A church brother had just dies from an attack at the age of 37 leaving behind a wife and small baby; a friend had just dropped dead from an attack as she returned home from work. My asthma was so bad that at the slightest change in weather I could not breathe. As I got older I knew it would be just a matter of time before I too would succumb to this life threatening disease. I relocated from the cold North East to another not so cold State in the North East but my asthma did not improve. My relocation brought many challenges emotional and financial. Amidst this turmoil in my life the asthma got even worse. One night I was grasping for breath and I was alone. The tears started trickling down my cheeks and I cried, "Lord, are you going to let me die?" Somehow I fell asleep and in my dream God sent an angel disguised as my mother who had passed away six months before at the age of 96. The Angel held out a hand and showed me a leaf the juice of which she extracted and gave me. I awoke the next morning with no pressure in my chest. I had no cough but was spitting up fluid with chunks of what seemed to be plugs of dust and mucous. The first day the fluid from my lungs was more than a pint. This continued for weeks, the little ‘plugs’ were replaced with “ strings” like the roots from a vine. I had no more wheezing. Not recognizing God heard my prayer and I was in the midst of a miracle, I went to the doctor who prescribed antibiotics. Nothing changed, the fluid continued. Fast forward five years later; I have not had an asthma attack or even a cough since. I recently went for my physical and listening to my lungs the doctor remarked "GOOD.” I smiled but did not tell him my story. He would not believe. There is a God who heals and there is an herbal cure for asthma. (I wish I had documented the entire experience but was not aware that God's power was being manifested in my life; however my medical record provides the proof). God still hears and answers prayers. He is still a miracle worker; those testimonies were not so incredulous after all.

Answered Prayer - (January 9, 2010)
Thankyou believers, for praying for me. I am from Sudan and my family is refugees in Uganda. I’m trying to support them that’s why I came to Korea. I praise God that the University called yesterday to say that I can study free of charge. This will help me also to get my visa. The Lord helped me to get a part time job for a few weeks and so I trust that he is opening doors and listening to us. God bless you and I know he is such a great God dealing with us individually. Praise the Lord! Masai

GOD IS BEYOND WHAT WE CAN THINK! HALLELUJAH!!

Prayer for My Dad - (November 25, 2009)
Dear Brothers and Sisters, You have been praying for my 87 year old father who has prostate cancer who was not yet a Christian. In spite of all expectation he is still alive but extremely weak now. 2 days ago he requested of my sister to read Jesus words to him, the passage:” Ask and it shall be given thee...." He said that Jesus is the Son of God and that He is his Lord. All this happened without any one prompting or encouraging him. Thank you for your mighty prayer support. Jesus is awesome!! Love from Susanne and family

Praise Report - (September 26, 2009)
Hello friends and prayer Warriors. I am very grateful for your prayers you offered to God on my behalf. I had requested prayers on my wife who was accusing mom that she had witched her and she was not going to have any Kid. Since that time if you remember, it is almost 1year and some days. On 21-05-2009 at around 5:45am, my wife delivered a baby girl. Since the time you started praying for me, my marriage as improved greatly. We are living in peace and our relationship has improved tremendously. My wife who said that she would no longer visit my home and see my parents, as I write today she had been in our home visiting Mom and Dad. God bless you all who spent their time and energy praying for us. Please keep on praying for us. God bless you all. Peter Sonoi spontita@gmail.com

Grieving My Beloved Son David - (September 25, 2009)
The Lord has touched me at the death of my 18 yrs old son David. Who died in a tragic car accident 3 yrs ago on 6th January 2006. When we first learned of the accident, I was holidaying in Queensland (Australia) with my husband, daughter, and some other family members. I was told by my sister “Francoise” that her church and various churches in the area were praying and lifting us to God. We had to drive back to Sydney to identify David’s body at Westmead Hospital. We were looking at a 15/16 hours drive. My first initial thought was there was no way my husband and father could drive for so long after such shocking news but the Lord’s eyes were on us. In spite of some mechanical problems which forced us to stop regularly. We finally made it safe at Westmead Hospital. The Lord was present and placed some family members there who were waiting to support us. Having all those family members there to identify David was how the Lord supported and strengthened me in this painful step. Organizing David’s funeral was even harder and the Lord was present and kept on placing people in our pathway to help us. “Lisa” was placed to be with us at the funeral parlor. As you can imagine I haven’t eaten or slept for days and was unable to speak or think clearly. I saw how the Lord used her by putting words in her mouth and how she was able to speak on our behalf. I felt a strong present of the Lord and He was real. The Lord was there with me at every little step and was in control. I felt special and loved that the Lord wanted to be with me and help me. It’s true of the Lord that He is close to the Broken Hearted and rescued those who are crushed in spirit. In spite of these personal encounters with the Lord, I still didn’t turn to Him for comfort. I started grieving on my own and it was impossible. My spirit was crushed and no one could take that pain away. I was broken and my soul was in pain. It was my ignorance, I knew of God, but did not have a relationship with the Lord and didn’t know how to find him. It was about a month after the funeral that the Lord once again placed another lady in my path “Eileen”. Eileen rang and told me that she had an idea of what I was going through as she has lost her husband in a car accident 10 years ago and told me “if you are looking for answers, you will find them in the bible”. Once I got off the phone, I reached for the bible but couldn’t understand what I read as I have never flicked or let alone read the bible in my life even thought I went though all of my schooling years at a Catholic School and attended church. I didn’t know how to find my way, so I thought; my sister Francoise is visiting soon and I will ask her to show me how to read the bible. So when she came, we read the Bible and discussed it together for about an hour or so. When she left, somehow I felt much better. So the next day she came again and read the bible and once again when she left I felt much better. This continued for a few weeks until I was able to read and understand the word of God. I felt drawn to the bible. With the help of the Holy Spirit I was able to read and started to understand the Word of God. I quickly realized that the Word of God was healing my broken heart and soothing my wounds. I wanted and needed God... Each time I would spent time with God I found rest, hope and peace to make it through the day. So I began to seek him daily for hours on end. From there, the Lord embraced me and our relationship started as I learned to depend on him for my daily needs. I have learned to trust Him and lean on Him. I have spent 2 ½ years in the valley of the shadow of death grieving for my son David. It was and is still a difficult journey and at times I even wanted to died and end it all. But each time the Lord picked has me up and carried me in his arms. He has comforted me. Yes it’s true, through I walked through the shadow of the valley of death, and I fear no evil, for he is with me. His staff and His rod comfort me (psalm 23:24). While in the valley tremendous help was available and given to me. The Lord met all of my needs according to his riches in glory. When I didn’t have courage He provided it, when I didn’t have strength, He gave me His strength and when I had no energy He gave me His energy. Every time I cried out to God to keep on giving me His Grace in this time of need and every time more grace and mercy was showered on me. Yes, his grace was sufficiency got me through each day. Our God is a God who comforts, consoles and encourages us in all areas of our life. He has done all these things for me. He has healed my broken heart, and has bound up my wounds, curing my pain and sorrow. He has set me on a rock and gave me a place to stand with a new song - songs of praise (Psalm). Nowadays all I do is sing of how He has comforted me. Time doesn’t heal a broken heart. It’s the Holy Spirit that comforts and heals. Not only did I have the love and support of my family and friends, but, The Lord has also put some caring and helping people in my path to help me. Those people showed me love, kindness, understanding and compassion. Had I not gone through this valley I would not have found the Lord the way I did. I would not have learned to trust and depend on him for every thing. I now have a relationship in the Lord who sustains and strengthens me. I know my son is no longer here with me but I know I will see him again. I miss David and think of him everyday. I recently traveled to Israel, for a tour of the Holy land. My trip to Israel was a gift from the Lord, it was a dream and the Lord made it possible financially, and he provided someone to go along with me. He gave me the desire of my heart. Now reading the bible about the various places just makes it more alive and I feel more connected. The Lord has blessed me beyond my wildest imagination and enabled me to better read, learn and understand His love for me. Thank you. Michelle Homan groovyangel_13@msn.com Sydney, Australia

Praise Report, Thank You for Answered Prayers. - (September 14, 2009)
HELLO I am a prayer warrior I sent in a prayer request for my daughter and 3-year-old granddaughter. They had gone to visit family, for 3 days then my daughter fell into bad ways, and bad company, in less than 3 weeks she was drinking and drug taking. She had a nervous breakdown. She was behaving completely out of character; she gave up her job, lost her home and boyfriend and wasted a lot of money. Her daughter was being damaged and was suffering abandonment. They where staying in a hotel for young people, it looked like they where both going to have a big fall. I had people contact me from the prayer warriors and they where very supportive. I was just holding on and gave everything into God's hands. Then at the darkest moment, we had a phone call, please could we take my grand child; she was on the verge of going into care, my daughter refused to come back. Yet the next day she rang and asked to come back, she was going to be on the streets! We are all back, she has sought professional help, she has started back at college today and my granddaughter is back at nursery school. We still have many steps to take. But like the prodigal son, they have returned. I praise and thank God for His Love and guiding hands. He is worthy of great praise. He is so merciful to us. Thank you for the sent prayers from the prayer warriors, lindaparker1954@hotmail.com

Last Miniute - (September 11, 2009)
Thank you all for your prayers, My brother Paul went off the track , We prayed for him and the family, his wife and four children, one day when I was on the 3ABN web site I came across the prayer Requests and decided to ask for prayer for my brother and his family. The Lord truly answers prayers, my brother was about to go to court to finalize the divorce. On the 1st September 2009 the Holy Spirit impressed upon him to turn from what he was doing and to undo all the bad things that had been done to his family. Today the 11th September 2009 the family is on the way to healing and coming back together. Although they have a long way to go they are seeking the Lord and asking him to guide them through this joyful time. I say joyful because they are truly thanking the Lord for His intervention in this so near disaster. We keep praying for them and ask you to help us as they have a tough walk for a short while. We want to give praise to the Lord. Mat 19:26 But Jesus beheld them, and said unto them, with men this is impossible; but with God all things are possible. We are Seventh Day Adventists in Johannesburg, South Africa and run an outreach ministry called "Life Line to Jesus Christ" when you have a moment please keep us in your prayers. Thank You for all that you do, we have our decoder permanently on 3ABN and please thank all the presenters from all the different ministries you folk are doing wonderful work for the Lord. We recorded 10 hrs of 3ABN onto one DVD and we use this to promote the station, should they wish to watch more of this channel they can tune in via the instructions attached. All our details are also attached should they need bible studies, books etc. May God richly bless you, more abundantly than you could ever hope or ask for. Danny thanks for that one.

Deliverance of My Daughter - (August 17, 2009)
My heart is full of joy and praise because God has delivered my daughter who had become a petty thief. I sent my prayer request some 3 months ago and I’m glad God answered it. God really cares and loves us. I thank everybody who prayed for us especially the prayer warriors, may God bless you abundantly. Anne

God Makes A Way - (August 5, 2009)
I had been praying for around a year that God would open a way for me to go visit my cousin Nick in Portland Oregon, who had requested I come visit him. We had not seen one another in 20yrs! Then in May, God opened the door in an unexpected way. Another dear cousin out west was getting married in June, but I made no plans to go, having no funds at the time. My parents and brother made plans to go and then changed everything. My mother practically begged me to go in her place, assuring me she would pay, saying they had decided that my brother and she would go later when things would not be so stressful, since my brother suffers from severe anxiety, especially in crowds of people, and unfamiliar settings. She wanted me to go so my father would not be alone and there would be someone to cook for him and my aunt he would be with who is not well, due to having fibromyalgia. For only $50 I was able to also go see Nick. God abundantly blessed my trip in so many ways it was just incredible. Supplying my every need to the last detail and giving me strength through it all, which was wonderful since traveling can be very hard on me due to my fibromyalgia. But the best part was that He opened doors for me to share with several of my relatives including Nick, how good God is and how He has worked in my life and desires to work in theirs and several responded positively. I am thrilled to see how God is working in my cousin’s lives, since I have been praying for them all for a very long time. I claim the promise that God will continue the work He has started in each one of them and that they all will completely surrender their lives to Him, so we can all be together in Heaven! Sherry, Boettcher

He Answers Prayer - (August 2, 2009)
I have been with my husband for 7 years and I never had to work but I always wanted to. I prayed for a job after I had my first child and God didn’t see fit then I had my second child and still no job had my third and I felt like there was no hope but I kept on praying. I took my nursing exam and the Lord helped me to pass, then exactly 7 days after my exam a job called and gave me an interview and I got the job. I just want to thank and praise the Lord for what he has done for me and to let everyone no GOD does answer prayer.

I Praise God for My Marriage - (July 1, 2009)
I want to praise God for my marriage. I had stayed with my husband for some years without official marriage but I always cried to God for the blessed marriage. Time came when the situation was worsening but asked God for courage to go thru; it was a trying moment for me. I really praise the Lord for that because it came when I least expected it. My husband started the preparations without my knowledge, this was a real surprise of my life, because we had had many disagreements over mistrust and cheating. I thank God that He heard my prayers and in 2007 we officially got married. He is not an Adventist but he gives me the liberty to go and worship with the children. He respects the SDA’s, he wakes me up at 3.00a.m for prayers and gives me full support when I am carrying out God's work. He drives me to church every Sabbath and at times picks us up after service. He at times visits our church on invitations. He gives full support to our child for Adventist programmes. Our child is in an Adventist school but he has always supported and encouraged him to participate in Adventist programmes. I want to praise the Lord for my wonderful husband. My prayer request is that he meets God and accepts Him as his personal saviour. I pray that God grants him wisdom to understand and opens his eyes to know the truth. I also pray that God grant me the wisdom to understand and support my husband in every way that will lead us to everlasting life. Thank you for allowing me to share this.

A Plan Finely Finished! - (June 20, 2009)
After many months, my girlfriend Amber was over at my apartment watching my enhanced version "The Passion of the Christ" (which I edited out parts of the movie that are not true to the bible, added my own title to the film and added my own text after Jesus is resurrected from the dead--what takes place next. things Mr. Gibson should of done and didn't) and she was deeply moved. We were planning for her to go back to Connecticut to lose extra weight (too look her best when we go to the magistrate to get married, to meet my relatives, attend church with me as my wife, etc) say "goodbye" to her friends and family, so we can pick her up at the local train station and spend several days with me, so we can get married. I am picking her up at the train station this week to get married. Her family disowned her and she is free to join our church. God has cleared the way for us to get married and for her to join our church as my beautiful wife. Praise the Lord. He worked it out for His Honor and His Glory. I want to thank all my prayer warriors, without them this would not be possible. Thank you from the both of us. Maybe we could be guest on 3abn Today and we would be honored to appear on the program. Gary and Amber

God Is Mightier Than Cancer :) - (June 11, 2009)
I asked for prayers a few months ago for my sister in law Linda Rodriguez, who was diagnosed with cancer during her pregnancy, and unfortunately the baby did not make it past the first trimester, but thankfully Linda's cancer has miraculously disappeared. I thank everyone who prayed for her healing, our Wonderful Father in Heaven can do anything and everything! I am so appreciative for the wonderful people who allow God to use them here on Earth. May the Lord continue to bless your ministry and each one of you individually. God bless you all! :)

Thanks - (May 27, 2009)
I still have a rough on my head, clothes on my back, and food in my stomach. My friend is sober for almost 3 months. I still have a job. My mother is still alive. We have Bible Studies going on. Thanks, Mike S.

Miracle Breakdown - (May 15, 2009)
God blessed us with a (Vactor) hydro(water)-excavation business and we have been really praying about getting an additional Vactor truck but they cost about $260k. Our truck had a major break down recently and because of it we found out about another vac truck that someone else was trying to sell. This truck's resale value is $150k and we are buying it for $90k (a new one is $260k). Thank God for our main truck breaking down!!! Funny thing is that our best friend Jorge Jacque left a text last week congratulating us on this but we didn't find out about it until today - May 15 Tammy

Prayer Answered - (May 9, 2009)
God can work in our lives even when at times we lack a bit of faith. A year ago, around august 2008, I sent a prayer request concerning my pregnancy. I was expecting twins and got a little scared that things may go wrong, due to our medical facilities in the country. I kept praying day and night that god would allow me to have a safe delivery. After attending several clinic appointments my faith in Christ started to dim, I started finding myself crying a lot and my husband would tell me, "You know I left everything in the hands of god.” I had to do some blood test and my nurse tells me that my HB was to low and if it doesn't have time go up I can go into a shock during delivery. I started to worry more and then my doctor told me if the babies do not turn in their position for delivery, I’d have to get a c-section. So I prayed about it and asked others to the same and today I thank the lord. My sons are five months old, I didn’t have to get a c-section neither did I go into shock. Praise God, I have two healthy kids. Today I think of my children as the Lord’s own and not mine, He just gave me them to nurture, love and guide them towards him. When things are rough, situations get tough Jesus will always be there for us.

Tuition Miracle - (May 6, 2009)
In answer to many prayers, just in time, I collected a letter for financial assistance for tuition at NCU, then took it to get my exam permit from Student Finance, then went straight to the exam room.... God is good. No petition to sit final exams next year/ semester (or repeat the whole course[s] AGAIN) this time!!!

Thank You Jesus - (May 1, 2009)
When I was 26 years old I was living in England on my own. I had made myself mentally ill through illegal drug consumption and through years of putting together my own religion under the category of New Age. I was constantly hearing voices and was no longer in control of my own thoughts. Drugs and alcohol didn't give me any relief of the horror I was experiencing. At my lowest point in life I heard one voice which was different from all the other voices and it said: 'Go to Germany and find Jesus!' (I believe now, that this was the Holy Spirit calling me.) Immediately I remembered the Jesus of the Bible I got to know when I was 16 and my thoughts were: 'If HE can't help me then nobody can'. As soon as I had decided to go and see my mother in Germany, who was a Christian, and get to know Jesus again, I got this overwhelming urge to kill myself. The devil must have been really angry with my decision. Somehow I made it to Germany but I was so mentally ill, that the Gospel didn't mean anything to me even though I wanted to believe. After a month of mental hell and several suicide attempts I nearly succeeded in taking my life by setting light to myself. (Later the doctors said that I had burnt 28% of my skin in the head, neck and arms area.) I woke up on the intensive care unit after having been in an artificial coma for a week. My mum was sitting by my bed and the first thing I wanted to do is for her to pray with me. Later my mum told me that, when I was in the coma the doctors weren't sure if I would make it through or not. In that time my mum prayed the most difficult prayer she had ever prayed before. She asked Jesus, that if I would one day be happy, would HE please let me live. And she let go of me into Jesus' loving care. Jesus did see me through and since then I have gone through many struggles but today, 13 years later, I can honestly say that Jesus has made my mum's request come true: I am very happy now! I am still challenged with a mental illness which I keep under control with medication but Jesus is now my foundation. HE has freed me from all of my addictions and has totally changed my character for the better. Thank you Jesus.

Identity Crisis - (April 3, 2009)
This is a testimony that the Holy Spirit, not just impressed me to tell all of you, but actually pushed me to give to all. Shortly after I have been saved by the grace of God and been baptized and become a Seven-day Adventist in the 4th of October 2008, as our Lord Jesus Christ was taken into the desert to be tempted by Satan, I too have been tempted by him, in a ferocious way. All started when, wanting to become almost perfect in God’s eyes, I have pushed myself to over do in spiritual things. Being that impossible to accomplish, evil began to put into my soul the sense of guilt and even if I new very well that was a false thing to feel, it had spread into me killing my joy and hope in God’s salvation. I never stopped believing in His Word but I founded myself unable to feel anymore the flame of faith in me. Not able to love Him like I wished, and because of that, I begin to feel more and more guilty. Because of that, I stopped all Christian activity. Drowned in my deep depression I was not able anymore to pray, or read my Bible or even watch 3ABN. My heart became a stone, unable to feel anything anymore. Oh, my dear family… It has been such a horrible time for me! I missed so much being able to have faith, hope and trust in our Lord, to love Him …but I did not no how to bring it all back. The only short but daily prayer that I was able to speak, was asking our Lord to cause me to love Him again and trust in Him and inflame my heart and soul with faith. Months passed by with no response. Until one blessed day, the Holy Spirit lead me to start reading Shelley Quinn’s (may God bless her to whom had been given by God wisdom and such a godly heart to respond immediately to the leading of Holy Spirit) books, “Exalting His Word” and consequently “Life Affirmation from Scriptures”. She had sent me her blessed book from some times but I had never read them until then. As soon as I begin reading “Exalting His Word” I got the answer for the questions I was asking myself for so long, while passing through my identity crisis, and that was: “What I can possible do to regain faith? It’s not like pushing a button and that’s it. So, how?” And the answer came, the miraculous key that opens the holy channel between us and the Lord, came through her (Shelley Quinn) book. I will not tell you what was the answer, but let you read it for yourself from her book. I will never be able to explain it perfectly as she did. But this I can tell you for sure, as soon as I began practicing her inspired teachings, my life changed drastically. Blessing and gifts from God began to overflow me, prayers that I have asked for a long time were answered. I have asked to be able to love Him and regain faith, and it happened. I have asked to be thrown into His field and soon after I began to Exalt His Word, my pastor asked me to give Bible studies to the children on Sabbath. I never though that I would be able to serve God here in Egypt where I live (for you know how difficult things can be here for us) but… Nothing is impossible for our Mighty God! Praise Him! Another thing happened, that I had never expected. I have tried so hard to be able to meditate on Scriptures while reading my Bible, as so many could do, being able to “see” also the hidden message inside His words, to understand them and not merely to read the Bible as a story, but I never been able to do it, and believe me a tried so hard, always praying before I red it, for the Holy Spirit to give me deeper understanding. Well, some days ago, surprisingly, I found myself understanding a parable in a new way, the practical way shown by Christ but also the deeper meaning behind it. I can’t describe you my joy! I cried while my heart shouted, Hallelujah! And from that day on, every time I open my Bible I physically feel the Holy Spirit leading me into understanding. And all that, all of you who may need it, who are passing through a spiritual identity crisis, can have it! I had to give you this testimony! And I have to beg you, if you don’t have them already, to read “Exalting His Word” and “Life Affirmation from Scriptures”, and if you have them and have not being practicing in Exalting His Word, please, try it, even just for one month and you will see how powerful and miraculous this practice is. I beg you all! Try it! As for me, I praise God and thank Him for putting in my way our dear sister and teacher and I thank with all my heart my dear, sweet, precious and blessed sister Dixie who has sent a prayer request for me, and I also thank pastor Hal, my dear angel Richard and all the brothers and sisters that have prayed for me wile I was passing through the worst time in my Christian life, for God heard their prayers! Thank you so much! May the Lord bless you all! In Christ love Lucia

The Power of Prayer Is Proven - (March 21, 2009)
Dear 3ABN, I made a prayer request somewhere in between of October and November asking the Lord to help my brother Rodilo Granada to pass the Nursing Licensure Examination in the Philippines. Praise God for he did passed the examination, now he is a Registered Nurse. Thank you Lord! Thank you 3ABN and all prayer warriors for the prayers.

God Is A God of Details - (March 1, 2009)
When I started teaching in 1979, I made a silent prayer to God that I would leave teaching if I got to the point where I was no longer excited about being a teacher. I reached that point last school year. The Literacy Coach at my school came into my classroom about 3 weeks before the end of the school year and informed me that the school district was going to be hiring Literacy Coaches for the next school year and encouraged me to apply. At first, I balked at the idea but she insisted that I apply. I began preparing my portfolio and quietly told the Lord that I was not going to take the job if I had to get on the interstate to get to my new job. I also found out that the interviewing process would begin while I was in Africa on a mission trip. I pondered if I should stay and allow someone else to go in my place. After reconsidering the situation, I decided to go on the trip. I took my portfolio along with a note explaining the situation and appealing to their kindness to allow me to interview upon my return to the Literacy Department. At the airport, upon my return, my husband informed me that they had called my while I was in Africa for an interview. I called them as soon as I got home and an interview was arranged for two days after I returned. I interviewed and was told that I was hired. The head of the department called the principal of a school and arranged for me to interview with him. Let me share that this was not the usual protocol. After an interview the teacher would be placed in a pool of applicants from which principals would choose a list of applicants to interview and then to decide on the Literacy Coach for their school Unknown to me at the time, a parent of a student who was in my class a decade ago was now the administrator over the pyramid of schools of which the school where I was going to interview was part. My previous principal under whom I had worked for 5 years before her retirement also knew this principal. Both of these women had given glowing verbal recommendations prior to my interview. When I arrived for the interview, I realized that I had taught with his mom for a number of years. With that support behind me, a strong portfolio and an impressive interview, I was offered the job. Praise God for answering the prayer of my heart that I made 30 years ago. The icing on the cake was God giving me a job that was closer to my home than the first one. He kept me off the interstate. I travel the same route but make a left turn 1 1/2 mile from my old school in order to get to my new school. Our Heavenly Father listens to our silent conversations with Him and answers them according to His time and the need in our lives.

My New Blessing - (February 17, 2009)
Hi, my name is Aziza Johnson, I was at the store and I saw a man eating food out of the trash. I went in the store and I got him some food and bought him some gloves and also gave him a Bible with New life Seventh-Day Adventist Church information inside of it. I have also moved out of my parent’s house and into my apartment, which is a very special blessing from God. Thank you

Thankful for Christian Radio - (February 13, 2009)

Prayer for My Brother - (February 3, 2009)
Around thanksgiving time, I put a prayer request in for my brother, who was in jail. Well three months, two-prayer request, and one Savior later he is free; well almost, under probation. However, this is so great, because he was arrested for two felonies. Thanks be to each one of you who wrote and prayed for him and thanks to God. Please keep it up. He has accepted the Lord while behind bars, which I am so thankful, and it really took a burden off my family & me. I love you all...God bless Please keep my family in your prayers.

Wow! God Is Alive and Well !! - (January 28, 2009)
Hello, I was baptized Aug 26th 2006. Since my baptism I have witnessed God working before my eyes. My mother was granted 1 yr of sobriety to learn about God before she passed. This was a prayer I had requested for her because her life was full of abuse and a father who beat her regularly and then a husband who also abused her. Mom had lost her eye sight, ability to walk with her strokes. At Age 83 mom memorized all the bible text we read to her and accepted the lord, three weeks later she passed. I also had a sister-in-law who did drugs, drank, popped pills, and smoked 3 cartons of cigarettes a week. She had a massive stroke and they gave her two weeks to live. I prayed and asked if she could have but one year to know what it is like to be clean and sober. During this year we had many conversations about Jesus. She never told me if she got baptized, but I do believe she accepted him in the quietness of her room...she lived one year clean and sober and passed this last December 2nd. God hears prayers. Jesus is here for us we just need to ask him and He will answer...My faith has grown leaps and bounds and the knowledge I have gained is numerous. I praise God for His Grace, Love, and for Him to return soon. Mary Andrade

Gods Grace and Mercy - (December 29, 2008)
I am thanking God for His Grace and mercy towards me. Even through trials I always see His wonderful and mighty hands stretching forth to tell me He will never leave me nor forsake me. He has restored my son brain damage from birth to a son who tells me Jesus will help me, at age seven. He is still not as firm but I see God holding Him and molding Him in his Grace. He loves to sing hymn 198 "and can it be.” God bless you.

Incredible Answers of Prayer - (December 22, 2008)
Hello pastor and prayer warriors. I am very grateful for your prayers .if you remember 4monthsago I asked prayers for the pregnancy of my wife. She had visited witch doctors and she threatened our marriage. She had even mentioned divorce. She is pregnant now for three -4 months. I would have told you but I waited for all doubts to be removed. She is treating my parents and other family members well. She is planning a future together now. No divorce talking now. Only one complain-stomach problem. Dear brethren continue praying for us.

Answered Prayer - (December 8, 2008)
Several months ago, I requested prayer for my grandson Jason and his wife. They had separated. I praise and thank our awesome Heavenly Father because they have been seeing each other since Thanksgiving Day. Please forward this to the prayer warriors. Thanks to all of you, and God bless you!

God Is Faithful - (November 11, 2008)
I Just wanted to say publicly, how good and faithful God is, even when we do not deserve it. He still takes care of us. God brought me to the U.S. about 8 years ago and has continued to be faithful to me, even-though I have stray away sometimes. He has never left me. He has blessed me with great opportunities. With His help, I completed my undergraduate studies and is currently working on an MBA program that I am schedule to complete in 06/2009. Within two years, I got two substantial promotions on the job almost doubling my salary. In the last month or two, I was told by my boss that I am up for another promotion, by the end of the physical year, if all goes well. Knowing my God is able, I know this will also come to pass. On November 25, 2008, I am scheduled to close on my first home; God is good. Throughout all of this, I have focused my attention on the things of this world and made God second and sometimes third in my life, seeking His guidance for everything other than His way in my life- but He never failed me. He always stood by my side. Thanks be to God. I pray that you all pray with me to make God first and that He will be my all in all; my beginning and my end. May He direct my path and lead me in the way that He wants me to go, so that it is no longer I that live in this body, but Christ that lives in me. May I decrease and Jesus be increased in my life. Thanks be to God. Tomufe2@comcast.net

Thanks Giving - (November 10, 2008)
I was having some problem with my menstrual cycle was scared to go to my doctor. I requested prayer from my 3ABN brothers and sisters and one of my sisters replied encouraging me to seek medical attention, while they prayed for me. I took her advice and visited an SDA doctor in my home country Guyana. I was diagnosed with having Fibroid--surgery was performed on the 8th of May 2008 and I was able to return to work on 19th June 2008. Surgery was done at the SDA hospital in Guyana. I want to give God all praise and thanks for his mercies and his healing grace. I thank him for the entire SDA health team He empowered with knowledge and wisdom to attend to me before during and after the surgery. I thank Him for the many persons who were praying for me. My Pastor, who did not know that I was in the country much less in hospital and had surgery but God allowed him to be visiting someone else and he was able to pray with me when I was still drowsy from the anesthetic. My mom, my sisters, my daughter, my boy friend LORD I THANK YOU--I OWE IT ALL TO YOU. Please continue to pray for me but most of all I ask that you pray for my daughter who has wandered from the fold. May God continue to bless you all and this wonderful ministry. When we get over yonder I would be able to say thank you face to face, may we all be there. Your sister in Christ,

Baby Jake Praise Report - (November 3, 2008)
Last winter, after the New Year, I sent in a prayer request for a baby named Jake who was born in Colorado at 1 lb 11 oz. His prognosis was not good after having numerous brain bleeds, hydrocephaly, and other complications of being so premature. His parents were told he would be severely retarded, blind and possibly crippled and with cerebral palsy! In addition, that he would have to be fed with a feeding tube for the rest of his life. I am happy to report that Jake is now over 10 lb, is eating normal food w/o a feeding tube, just rolled over a few weeks ago, and is SMILING and laughs at his parents (which is a LEARNED response, so they know he SEES enough to mimic them), he is grasping objects with both hands and putting them in his mouth and trying to work out motions to crawl! ALL PRAISES GO TO GOD FOR THESE MIRACLES! We serve a MIGHTY and caring God! Thank you, prayer warriors! Jerri

Unbelivable - (November 1, 2008)
I used to work at a clothing where I was part of the cleaning crew. I worked with a Korean lady (I guess) I am not quite sure of her nationality. She used to always touch me and ask, you ok. you ok?, and I used to say sure but not telling her that my left side of my chest had a lump in it and every time I hugged somebody tight it would hurt me. One day she just grabbed me and put one of her hands on the left side of my chest and her other hand on my left side on my back and started praying but not in a language I could understand. I knew she was praying because I heard her say the word GOD. As she prayed, I began to cry and to accept God’s healing. After she completed her prayer, I asked her how did she know, she said it was not her it was GOD, ever since that day I feel no more pain when I hug someone, no more lump in my left chest. I always knew there was a God, I accepted him back in 1983, it was the best thing I ever did. He sends people your way when you are in need. (ANGELS)

Thanks - (October 30, 2008)
Just want to say thanks for remembering my family and me in your prayers. The Lord has softened hearts, and I am getting the shifts that do not compromise Sabbath. My husband is also getting increased workdays. He is amazed. I quietly give thanks, as i know the Source. Today I celebrate another birthday, and have much to be thankful for. God bless you and your team.

Wonderful Truth. - (October 14, 2008)
The truth is always difficult to go by, but for your ministry; I say you are the best, for telling the truth and exposing the lies of the devil, my faith is now strong than ever. I joined the Seventh Day Adventist church with my sister, and four years ago for the truth. We learned your monthly magazine is helping us. Please, I wish if you could send me a book by name the forgotten commandment. Thank you and the good Lord we are waiting for bless the ministry.

Not Enough Power Unit - (September 28, 2008)
I want to share this testimony. I am a prayer warrior. Sometimes last year my 12-year-old son and I did not have enough money to pay for our power bill. When we check the power unit, we have only 1.80 units. For the next 3 days, we watched 3abn every night until early hours of morning but our power never went off until we purchase another unit. After 3 days when we checked, we have one unit left. My son told me "mums I believe because we are watching 3abn that is why our power never went off.” so we both pray. Praise God he is good all the time.

God Delivers... - (September 20, 2008)
Last June 9, 2008, my friends and I decided to climb Mt. Pulag, the second highest mountain in the Philippines....so at a party of 9, which consists of 5 women, 3 men and a three year old kid, we started the 3 hour mountain hike to the base camp. We reached the camp at around 5:30 pm in time for us to see the sun set. It was my first time to experience a magnificent sunset up in the mountain. We really enjoyed it. Then, we set up our tents then cooked our dinner. All of us we're eager to sleep and rest our aching bodies. We all decided to climb the summit at early dawn at around 4am for us to see the sunrise, so we all went to sleep at around 8:30pm. Suddenly my friend woke me up and said that someone was around because there were murmurings and that the dialect we can hardly understand. We decided to pray right away and asked for divine intervention. Three men came to our tents, pointed a knife at us, and wanted to take our valuables. I gave my money and the rest gave their backpacks, then they went on their way. They could have killed us since we were way up high on the mountains with nobody to help us, But God is really good because not one of us got hurt and that all they took was just money and our stuffs. I really felt God's presence that cold night. He really delivers His children from evil men without hesitation if we only call and depend on Him. That night I memorized psalms 23 with all my heart and I find peace on that.

New Job - (September 17, 2008)
On June 16th, I sent in my testimony concerning a new job. God continues to bless-my two youngest children needed before and after school care and I was not sure how I would work it out since I provide the transportation for them. My new job is a long drive for me and they could not get on the bus early enough for them to go to public school. The SDA School here is right on the way for me! My husband and I were able to enroll them and I am able to drop them off early at the school. After school, their teacher brings them to me at my job-awesome blessing! The first two and a half months at work were tough and I had to work through some personnel issues-employees that proved dishonest and unwilling to work- I found myself without a maintenance man at a busy time. Three days after he was dismissed, I sat at my desk and prayed for a replacement for him. Two hours after my prayer a friend who knew nothing of my dilemma handed me a business card for someone he knew. He said, "if you ever need a new maintenance man...” Needless to say, I smiled as I took the card and Ervin is working for me now! God is good!

Blessed - (September 15, 2008)
Thank you for praying for my son in-law Daman I continue to pray for him to know and love JESUS He still talks to me and He seems more receptive to my encouragement to read GOD's word. Again thanks for representing Christ

Mom Is Making Good Steps in Recovery From Stroke - (September 10, 2008)
Thank you to all those who are praying for my mom who suffered a stroke about a month ago. She is making good steps in recovery at the rehab center. Everyone there has been so kind and good to all of us. Thank you and God Bless. The Lord is leading every step of the way!

Praise Report - God Is Sooo Good N Faithful - (September 10, 2008)
I wanted to send out a wonderful praise report to all of my fellow prayer warriors. Since Feb 2008, the Lord was trying to tell my husband and I to leave our home of 20 some years with all of our animals, (horses). It took Him until the middle of July, 2008 before we understood Him. I believe the Lord doesn’t want us to be in debt when He returns, and our house was a white elephant with a huge amount of debt involved trying to fix it up and me without being able to find work, it became an overwhelming tribulation, but we had decided to keep on hanging on to it. But in July, the Lord finally opened our eyes, and we heard Him and made the decision to leave our home and try to find a place for us and our horses to be close by. I knew the Lord would help us, I placed a prayer request on 3ABN, for His guidance for a place to live and to place for our horses with us or close by, and to sell the mobile home we were trying to live in because our home had so many repairs we couldn't afford it any longer to fix up. I wanted to thank all the prayer warriors all over the world that started praying for us. I got many emails of encouragements, bible verses and constant prayer for us. The Lord found us a house within 1 week, we started moving in......a house of my dreams and desires, for He says He desires to give us our hearts desire and He did. Then we were confused on where to put our horses as the new house didn’t have a barn or place for our 4 horses, well He opened up another door and our horses are safe and sound and within 20 miles of our new place, then He stepped in and sold our mobile home in 2 days.........we had to have that money to finish the move and get the horses moved and their board paid. Our last request was answered as well, He found a home for our barn cats, as we were afraid of having to leave them, but a lady took 6 of them to care for and to love.........Praise the Lord oh my soul, for His faithfulness is everlasting. Thank you all for your prayers and I hope all gets to read this who were praying so hard for us. Diane Wood dn.wood@yahoo.com

My Testimony - (September 9, 2008)
dear friends! Praise the Lord! I m Christina and I want to share my testimony with you for the glory and praise of the awesome and mighty name of our Lord Jesus Christ. Since my childhood, I have always been a child of God chosen and separated for His glory and He never left me even for a single second. When God is with us it doesn’t mean our life will always be a bed of roses, certainly difficult times do come but our faithful Lord crushes the devil’s work and brings us out victorious and safe. This is what happened with me when devil attacked me with some sorts of infirmities like when I was in tenth standard I got ill with typhoid and some fungal infection on my face and neck but God lovingly completely healed me of all sorts of illness just within no time. "All glory to God.” Than again in twelfth standard, I got seriously ill with some sorts of bumps in my neck but Praise Jesus in no time God miraculously healed and forever vanished that stuff of devil from my neck and renewed my skin even better than before Hallelujah! There’s still a lot to my testimony, God didn’t stop there but after completely healing me my Loving Lord Jesus three times crowned me miss college in first, final & previous years. I was happy, excited, crying and thanking God for His great and unfailing wonderful love for me as I always liked crowns and wanted to have one but He gave me three altogether "Praise God.” But friends do you think that’s all I have to say, no not at all. God even blessed me immeasurably in my studies , He always gave me a good first division all through my academic years and this year He made me top my college with highest marks in my class (in M.Sc. previous chemistry) . Now I m in final year enjoying life with my one and only love -Jesus Christ. But how can I forget to tell you that God has blessed me with the gift of painting and has made me won several awards at school , college ,district and state level .All praise and honor to our Holy and most worthy God. Now this life is no more mine but completely surrendered to the glory, worship and service of my most sweet , powerful & loving Lord Jesus Christ. Hallelujah. "Praise the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits- who forgives all your sins and heal all your diseases, who redeems your life from the pit and crowns you with love and compassion" Ps.103:2-4 .Thanks for taking time to read. God bless.

Marriage Restoration - (September 8, 2008)
I emailed a prayer request several months ago about my wife filing for divorce, she came to me 9/5/08 and she stopped the divorce. The marriage is being restored in Jesus, with His help.

Bible Study - (September 2, 2008)
I praise the Lord for the way He has been working in our church. At the Omak Seventh day Adventist Church, we have been doing surveys in our community and God has given us 51 people for Bible Studies. May God receive all the praise!

Save By God Mercy - (August 9, 2008)
On Tuesday night about 10.30 pm, I lit the gas stove and accidentally fell asleep. When I woke up it was 5.30 in the morning, I saw that the stove was still burning and the water boiled out of the saucepan without catching anything on fire, I said to myself that the hand of GOD had saved me and the house from burning. .

God Is Giving Me the Knowlege That I Need When I Need It - (August 4, 2008)
It’s amazing. I was looking for a new project to continue working after God was so gracias to give mea new home and a new Mini SUV car to drive. I had more than enough money to buy the house but to remodel it and build a house for my staff that works for me while I travel to make a living. This too, is a praise that I can travel the world to earn a living. Now I traveled from Panamato Belgium to work on a project that I had some knowledge. I need the knowledge of an 'Expert' to excel in this position so I asked God to give me the knowledge when I needed it. Thanks to God that I am doing well. I am careful to follow his lead and to reserve the Sabbath as a day to honor God and all the Tithe is returned back to him.

Cancer - (July 24, 2008)
I was diagnosed with cancer & I told my Dr., God was not going to let me keep it. Lots of prayers went up for me. Three days later, I had another MRI done & the cancer was gone. Praise God from whom all blessing flow. I am 87 and still driving & live alone. Thank you God, Lettie Walker

Working in Belgium - (July 20, 2008)
Belgium Praise the Lord I am finally working again. I left my post with Barrick Gold in the Dominican Republic last February 2008 after a 6-month project. I used the funds that God provided from that project to buy and remodel my first home in Panama. It is a beautiful home in the mountains of Panama close to Costa Rica. I was able to install the very best. I put in God's hands that I needed another project soon. The interesting thing was that the months rolled by and the money kept going into the 'Money Pit' but everyone kept telling me that it was money well spent. My animals moved into their own private sanctuary where they have a waterfall, stream and pond as well as a hammock from the rafters suspended 22 feet up. I have a $10,000 credit card that was backed by a $12,500 deposit. With my money all used up I was not able to make the minimum payment and the bank refused to reduce my credit limit to free up the secure account. Talk about a catch 22. Now after 5 months and to the day my credit card was frozen I was on the plane to my new project in Belgium for the next 8 weeks. The client is picking up all expenses and paying a very high daily rate. I am able to take the train from Mechelen, Belgium and go to the SDA International church in Brussels. It is in the city center and so a very short walk from the train station. God has blessed my life. I was wealthy by the world’s standards until 2001 when I lost everything. I had to live on bananas and oatmeal for the next 4 years. I learned about the SDA coming from a Baptist background. I had to learn to trust God for my every need. I never went wanting. I have learned to tithe and to observe the Sabbath. I have learned that the Christian growth is a daily thing. I used to believe 'Once Saved Always Saved' but not that has changed. Now, I am part of the Prayer Warrior team and I can help others from my experiences. Love in Christ Raquel Frame, live from Belgium

Praise for Work, Health, Home and Church - (July 14, 2008)
I received work in Belgium. My home is in Panama and so I will be heading to Belgium to work for the next few months. I was not working for over 5 months, but God provided me with a home that I own free and clear, great health, and a church to fellowship. I need to have your prayers that I am able to help out and provide the level of support that the client is expecting. I will need to give the right answer at the proper time. They are having problems with there systems and have asked me to step in. The rate is great and they are covering all expenses. It was a hard 5 months but I never lost faith that God would provide. Even if he did not I would still praise the Lord in all things In his Love Raquel

Prayer for Gene Bass - (June 25, 2008)
On June 17th we sent a prayer request for Gene Bass who suffered with a Brain Tumor. Gene was operated on June 18 and the doctors said it would be the tumor was revealed the surgeons said the about 4 to 5 hours long operation. After opening Gene's skull and the tumor was revealed, the surgeons said the tumor appeared to fall out into their hands. The surgery lasted about one hour, Gene was in the ICU, and the following day he was place in a private room with all tubes removed. Gene suffered no ill effects. All faculties were normal. He will need to have x-ray treatment. He now is at home and living as normal life as can be. Praise the Lord for this miracle . Thank you for the prayers. Gene also sends his thanks to everyone.. Don/Sarah Javery

Anwer To Your Prayers for Healing - (June 18, 2008)
I want to thank you so much for your prayers in behalf of Rusell Tope. I requested prayer for him a few days ago. He has been improving every day from a medical condition, which he wasn’t expected to live, and he is also showing positive emotional changes. The Lord intervened also to remove the obstacles so he could be taking to a hospital where they could give him much better medical care with very good specialists on his condition. His family is very hopeful about his recovery now and is also very thankful for the prayers offered for him. I praise the Lord for his power, his mercy, and for people like you who are moving the hand that moves the world through your prayers! Chely Dicken

New Job - (June 16, 2008)
Last month I requested prayer from the prayer team and many loving friends, so that God would provide me a new job. My employer was pressuring me to work on the Sabbath, even though when I was hired 7 years ago they had assured me they could work around it. An employee that I supervised had a second job on the weekends. When she threatened to quit if she had to work on the May 31st Sabbath, my boss forced me to choose between scheduling her or myself on that day. I was distraught, because I need the job! However, I told my boss my conscience would not allow me to schedule myself. She proceeded to tell me that I had no choice and that she was very upset with the way I had handled the situation. I told her I understood her position and I was not angry. I told her I cared about her; I had known her for 14 years. Although I was distressed on the inside, I said nothing more. We stepped into the main office where she checked the mail. She handed me a small red envelope, which appeared to be a card-addressed to my attention. I opened it and it was a thank you card from someone else who works in my field-thanking me (apologetically) for something that I had done for her six months prior! The Holy Spirit told me to keep the card. The next week I contacted this woman and went to see her, to thank her for the card-it had lifted my spirits. We talked for a while, she told me she loved her job and she gave me her bosses’ phone number, suggesting I call her. I waited several days to call. I called her on a Thursday-she said she had no openings, but would like me to send her a resume. She received the resume on Monday of the next week. She had received a notice from one of her managers on Friday, the day after I had spoken to her. I interviewed on the phone on Tuesday, in person on Thursday-she processed my information on Friday-checking my references. It is Monday Morning-today I have to pass the drug test-then the job is mine at the salary I need. I will be turning my notice in today-Thank you Jesus and thank you all for your prayers! God is good!

Help I Did Not See! - (June 12, 2008)
God has been truly good to me, out of the darkness; He opened doors for me that only He could. I have almost finished university and my son is in second year at Medical School, and a daughter, while I now visit my mother every other weekend end, supported from very small earnings! I sometimes wonder how it all happens. I have also started paying my tithes although sometimes I find that it sometimes become a real struggle. Nevertheless, I remember God's promises and I do my part to the extent that I find I am encouraging my friends to do the same. Recently I got an unexpected promotion at work although I do not yet know what the salary as I am not yet told what the compensation package is. However, I trust that God will cause my boss to be fair when it comes to the compensation & work.

New Perceptions - Dwight Nelson - (June 8, 2008)
Just last week our homeowners' association and local area began receiving 3ABN with our cable company, after years of prayer and contact. I had called you requesting New Perceptions as I used to watch it weekly on Sky Angel. This morning (Sunday 11 Eastern) I watched and sobbed. Three years of weekly Bible study with neighbors using your DVD's, and now they can watch you themselves, and especially Dwight Nelson on Sunday mornings. I am so very, very grateful to Jesus, and you. Please don't delete this message, but forward on to the other pastors and staff. As a prayer warrior I say Praise the Lord!!

Thank You - (May 22, 2008)
Dear 3ABN staff, I would like to thank you for praying for me. I was able to pass the Toel IBT exam. It is only through God's mercy that I passed it. Thank you also for praying for healing for a VIP patient. She is better now but please continue to pray that she will stay pain free. I bring back all the praise and glory to our Lord.

Answered Prayer - (May 10, 2008)
About two months ago, I asked for your prayers for my daughter Dee, who I believe was in a relationship not sanctioned by God. Very manipulative and painful for her and us as a family as we watched her suffer. Well, God is indeed a JUST GOD. As we all prayed earnestly for her deliverance the Lord intervened and ended it three weeks ago. It was the most peaceful separation I have ever seen. She is completing her post graduate in teaching studies in June and said, mum, "I am not ready for a boyfriend, please pray that I will be closer drawn to Jesus.” Please continue to pray for her and us as a family and the young people around the world.

Miracle in My Life - (May 7, 2008)
I am a prayer warrior and have been for some days now but already I can see the changes that are happening in my life! God gave me a family, the most beautiful that one can hope for, you, pastors and staff of the 3ABN and you Sisters and Brothers warriors and many others with whom I hade already had the honor of being in touch. I am not alone anymore! I can serve the Lord! I can finally give all my love to many and receive from them a hundred times more! Praise Jesus for away went my fears; off went my solitude and despair! What a bless 3ABN has been to me! I will never stop to thank Jesus and you all for what you have given to me! A special thanks, I have to make to Pastor Hal and all the prayer warriors that have written to me and give me a loving welcome that touched my heart! And I found too a new friend and sister in Christ, a woman of my same age, very sweet that had made a request prayer, her name is Down and I want to tank her to for her kindness hoping to see her soon here in Egypt where I am been leaving from a long time now. Seen that our prayers are being heard is a blessing and an incommensurable joy! Praise to the Lord! God bless you all! Lucia

Set Free - (April 26, 2008)
I began my search for the Baptism of the Holy Spirit several years ago after hearing a sermon by Ken Cox on "Why people do not receive the Baptism of the Holy Spirit" This whetted my appetite for a 2-year search. I did not search Sister White's books, as I had never heard our church speak of it. Whenever I spoke to anyone in the church about it they always stated that you receive it at water baptism. Through my study, I learned that this was not always the case. At that time, my life was filled with anger about the past and I struggled with an eating disorder undiagnosed of Binge Eating Disorder. As a dietitetian this was very difficult for me as I did not look the part of a dietitian. It also grieved my spirit, as I knew I was not glorifying my Jesus by my eating habits. I continued my search for the Baptism of the Holy Spirit. One night Clarence, my husband, was doing his favorite hobby of channel surfing when he came across Dennis Smith on 3ABN and I heard him talk about the Baptism of the Holy Spirit. I immediately told him to stop and we listened. We purchased his tapes from you and took this message to our Sabbath School group and we began a 3-year study of all Pastor Dennis's books on this subject. We continued to pray for the Baptism of the Holy Spirit daily. I still struggled with emotional eating and an addiction to the TV. I noticed that God had cleaned up the majority of my small sins, but these two addictions remained. I did not understand how if I asked for the Baptism of the Holy Spirit then I should receive all the power within me that God used to raise Jesus from the dead, then why would I still have these two addictions. We went to Peru last year on a mission trip and Tracy Smith a nurse from Apopka, Florida introduced me to Pastor Nick Zampir from the Winter Springs SDA Church in Longwood through his website Tap into God's Power. We began to listen to his CD's and study his booklet "Tap into God's Power" A few weeks ago I took my Sabbath School group to experience Nick Zamfir's church in Longwood, Florida. He teaches about the Baptism of the Holy Spirit and anoints people to receive Him. We were going down to be anointed by him. One of our groups Anita had been anointed by Tracy in September asking only for the Baptism of the Holy Spirit, she was given this and God healed her back, which had been troubling her for over 10 years. She had a slipped disk in her back, which was totally healed. Today she joined our church by profession of faith. So anyways, I took the rest of my group up to the Orlando area to experience the same thing. I asked to be anointed to receive the Baptism of the Holy Spirit. There were times I felt like I had it, experiences I wrote about in "God the Lighthouse and the People,” but there were times I did not think I had the Holy Spirit living inside of me. When I went, Satan did everything he could to prevent me from receiving the anointing because he knew that once I knew the power that was in me, his reign over me would be history. Pastor Nick walked over 70 people through this experience and all received the Baptism of the Holy Spirit. One thing he spoke about was something I totally took to heart. He stated that if you had forgiven someone and Satan kept bringing up the hurts to you that you could ask God and He would remove those old tapes. I asked God to remove the old tapes that made me run to food instead of Him. He was true to His word. I have been set free from something I have struggled with for over 40 years. Praise God from whom all blessings flow! I was so blessed by Shelly's book Exalting His Word. I have shared the concept with my son who struggles from a spirit of fear. Blessings to you on 3 ABN. Keep up the good work. Donna Dunbar R.D.,L.D.

God Has Provided My Needs and More - (April 21, 2008)
God expects us to bring all our needs before him. He knows before we even know ourselves what we need, and he already has a plan on how to provide that need. I was able to get a new mini SUV in 2006 and a new home in 2007 after 5 years of unemployment. I just kept asking and in the end, he provided. Now, I need to go back to work so I can build my gardens to provide good food for myself and those in need. I have a job waiting for me in Latin America with Oracle. I just need to pass the job interview. I have worked for them in the past, so they do have a record of my work. Perhaps God has another job in mind, but I need to start working by Friday 25 April 2008. I also tithe faithfully what God gives me and so many missionaries depend on the flow for the work in the field. I have heard so many stories how God has used the tithe that I gladly returned. He is providing, few people can buy a home with only 4 months of income. My home is full of light, a beautiful view of the mountains of Panama, with granite counter tops and wood floors. Hot water anytime I want it. What more could you ask?

Victory - (April 19, 2008)
I have been suffering from a low self-esteem for many years now. I would even be afraid to share my faith with someone else but I would like to thank God for helping me to overcome this period of slump. I am not fully recovered but I believe that since God has brought me thus far, He will take me to the very end.

Lazarus Miracle of Today of My Daughter!!! - (March 26, 2008)
My daughter resides in another state and is a grown adult with two children. My daughter was doing some shopping, and all of a sudden, she passed out in the store & stopped breathing. An individual ran and assisted her with CPR, until an ambulance arrived. We never found out who that person was. I believe it was definitely an angel! My daughter was put on life-support in ICU, for three days! I called 3ABN Pastoral Dept. and let this situation be presented to our heavenly king; to him (Jesus) our gracious lord and redeemer...taking these petitions to holy Jehovah ...My daughter was taken off the man-made life-support systems and touched by The True LIFE-SUPPORT SYSTEM! My daughter has been given another chance, as I tell her. Her life has been restored! As Christ Jesus shared with Lazarus’s physical restoration, it is done for His Father’s GLORY! AMEN...AMEN...What a miraculous sign and testimony for so many--even for all the hospital staff, the rescue and ambulance soldiers, the police, etc. I have the privilege and honor to share this miracle with so many! I have my daughter! I have CHRIST JESUS as THE LIVING LORD: of my heart, my mind, my body and my soul...AMEN.

No More Demon Attacks - (March 9, 2008)
About a month ago, I requested special prayer because I was being harassed by demonic forces during my sleep. Well, the Lord has truly delivered me and for that I'm very grateful. So I wish to thank you for your prayers.

Praise Report - (March 5, 2008)
Hello, I applied to be a prayer warrior very recently. It has been a privilege, I had begged to know God's will for my life, my prayer has been answered, and doing something for Lord Jesus has been my heart's desire. Thank You Lord to do even something small for You Jesus is such a blessing. Thank you Lord.

God Has Not Left Me. - (February 16, 2008)
Today I had a severe attack of fear and hopeless terror, I suffer from a mild personality disorder, caused by past abuse and circumstance, and I have been rejected from churches and left with no self-esteem or anything. God has been so wonderful to me. I was not born into the sda church, I am waiting to be baptized and become a member. I have to wait, I attended the church today, all the children were being vested as pathfinders--I had faced my darkest demons, and ha given them to God. The hardest thing has been to forgive myself. I realized that I had sinned and I repented. I try not to go back. Today I suddenly felt deep despair and terror; I felt so unworthy and felt that I could never belong there or anywhere else--I felt dirty and unclean. I had told the prayer line I was planning to commit suicide. I had done it once before and failed. I didn’t want to go there again, because the pain is unbearable. The man prayed and it helped make all this stuff go away. God loves me too, Jesus died for me too, I praise my GOD and I am kept by His beautiful Grace only, He is my Abba too. If the entire world rejects me, so be it, I cling to Jesus and humbly thank Him. LORD I’m nothing without You. In You I am beautiful too.

Saved Through Your Program - (January 22, 2008)
I have never been religious but I was miraculously saved using one of your TV channels here in Kenya on 19th Jan 2008 at night. I have prayed, and I believe that will be strong in the Lord forever and ever amen.

God Is Good - (January 9, 2008)
I have always wanted to go to real-estate school. However, I did not have the funds. Well on Sunday, I received a newspaper, and there were classes that are free. I called and they said yes the classes are free but I would have to go to class on Sabbath. Nevertheless, saints I was not having it, so I called friends and I called back the school; they told me I could take classes on Sunday. But the matter was to start class I had to have 99.00 for the book the lady told me come on in anyway and they would work out the payments with me. God stood for me because he gave me the faith to stand for him. God is Good and faithful. Please keep me in prayer for wisdom, God promised he would give it to me. Keep standing for the Lord, because the prayers of the righteous avail much....

Praise Report for the Mitcheff Sisters - (January 9, 2008)
I always enjoy watching the Mitcheff sisters in the kitchen. They are a blessing to me; I learn about healthy meals, I laugh because of their clean fun and humor in the kitchen. Praise God for the Mitcheff sisters.

I Made It! - (January 7, 2008)
Hello, Prayer Warriors. Well, God got me through to the last semester of school. I was in a tough spot but God got me out. I'm really glad, but I still have another tough semester ahead and soon after look for a job, start a career and then who knows what's next. I'm glad I made it this far. I pray I don't lose sight of God and will stay focused. So I'm going to be praying and if you have a little bit of time, maybe you could toss a little in prayer for me. Seriously though, thank you to all the Prayer Warriors who prayed for me and sent me encouragement. I appreciate it more than you know.

Thank You To Cheri Peters - (December 31, 2007)
Dear 3ABN staff, Please pass on my words of thanks to Cheri Peters for her amazing program. It's funny, how in some way or another I have found a way to relate in just about all of the episodes from this season thus far. At least the ones I have watched. I just want to say thank you for continuing to broadcast, "Celebrating Life In Recovery," this truly is a ministry that reaches in places we do not even understand. I never even knew this program existed until I stumbled upon it once this year, and now I try to watch it every week. I also want to thank Cheri for bravely sharing her testimony in "Miracle From The Streets," this book combined with her program have begun to change my life in an amazing way. A way that I can't describe right now. I would love to speak with Cheri in person someday, and thank her personally but I know she is busy as you all are. Keep up the great work and may God bless 3ABN in 2008. Many thanks. Ashley

Praise God for 3abn!!! - (December 22, 2007)
Through an absolute miracle of God, and after three years of down turns beyond belief, my sister, Christina, and I were able to buy our Grandparent's home and moved in July 1st of 2007! Grandpa helped his father build it, and it houses memories of Love so Dear to us that I wake in the night still in awe! Though we are not connected to ANY device, cable or satellite, we receive 3ABN programming continuously. For me, it has been a WEALTH of Beauty that I have not seen in a VERY long time! Real people, dedicated to fully LOVING others and all for the selfless cause of Christ! I am supporting 3ABN, and am currently looking for a Seventh Day Adventist church. Only by the Grace and Mercies of God could we be getting the totally awe-inspiring programming! Glory to God for His ever-Present Faithfulness! With Joy for being able to receive the three Angels message! Lynn

An Early Love-Wrapped Christmas Present I Just Got - (December 18, 2007)
I have always been touched and uplifted by Kelly Mowrer's music through the years - and I never ever thought that she would one-day offer to play the piano and speak at my small church. I was very happy when I knew it because each music that I've heard her play had always resonated down deep within me - not just because of the beautiful way she did it but because of the message in the song and because she played from her heart. I've watched her radiate with joy every time she was at the piano - while playing and even when speaking. So we've been emailing to each other before she came - and I told her she would be a great Christmas gift to me this year. Her presence brought joy not only to others, but also especially to me. I have been out of work for 4 months now due to an injured ligament in my left knee and because of over-compensating work of the right knee and due to the extreme cold weather; I have been experiencing severe discomfort to the point that I will undergo MRI of the right knee this coming Thursday afternoon. I really am a cheerful person and have been living an active life, but I am becoming despondent and have been trying to keep away from my world with out telling anyone about my feelings - but Kelly's presence and tight hugs and music cheered me up - like a friend I've always known - her laughter and joy gave me encouragement - she was God-sent to me as a priceless Christmas gift. Not only that, I saw and heard her read from the Bible this afternoon on this station and I also read her life's story in your January issue of 3ABN World. I finally burst into tears--I know these are tears of healing even before I undergo a possible operation on my other knee. God gives me the best gifts in life. I cannot thank Him enough for Kelly. She is flying home to PA today but her music will keep me company. God bless her and her family! You are blessed to have her on your ministry!

I Dare You To Step in A Thrift Store - (December 15, 2007)
Children often dare each other, and adults do too. As a child, you might actually go through with the dare, to prove you're "not afraid," of the consequences. However, as the years go by, and we become "adults," we also become more cautious. We're "afraid," of what people might think of us, and our reputation will be tarnished. My husband Gary and I have been volunteers at 3ABN'S thrift store for a few months, now, called the "Browse Around. It's amazing how many people he and I have come across that actually are afraid to step into a thrift store. Why? Because they don't want anyone to think they're "in need," of any thing. They don't want to be labeled as "lower income,” and can only purchase less expensive merchandize. I'm aware that most thrift stores do make some kind of profit, even those that are tending to the less fortunate. However, there might be some things you don't know about thrift stores. 3ABN's thrift store, The Browse Around, has a special purpose, a special mission. We're not only there as volunteers to raise money for children in need, but to MINISTER to the needs of the community, whether it be merchandize-wise, or spiritual; all sales go for this purpose, and we are a non-profit organization. Our volunteers are hard-working men and women. They believe in relieving the pains and sorrows of others, through encouragement, kind words, and good service. We give Bible Studies, and offer prayer. It's not unusual to stay past closing time, to talk to those needing answers to their questions. Many have lost loved ones and friends, have lost their jobs, or are in a financial crisis. Some come into the store, with their limbs amputated, and wearing oxygen tubes. However, through all the apparent gloom and doom, comes hope; hope that someone actually cares to hear their concerns, their disappointments, and their heart-breaking trials. And when they leave our store, they feel like heaven has come down, and answered their prayers. They feel "whole," again, and are praising God, when they step outside The Browse Around. Often, we hear the words, "I LOVE THIS PLACE!” At the end of the day, the volunteers go home, praising God that THEY have been so greatly blessed, through ministering God's word to a tender soul, deeply in need of God's love. As a volunteer myself, I look at God's tired children, and see the transformation of desperation to salvation! Oh, the amazing love of God, to be a part in all this! Those are just a few things you might not know about The Browse Around thrift store; things you might not know about people that are hurting, and are in need of God's love and grace. But there's one last thing in particular that you might not be aware of. It is not unusual at all, to have customers in our store that are very financially secure. The last couple of weeks, I've had people asking me about a safe. They wanted the safe for valuables, and gold coins. Often, these customers tell me they find things in our thrift store, and other thrift stores as well, that they cannot find at expensive stores. You find many items that are in excellent condition, and are absolutely beautiful for your home, unlike any thing else department stores have to offer. However, those that have come in the Browse Around have said they have not been in any thrift store like ours; they say there's something "different," about it. Friends, there IS something different about the Browse Around. We pray before entering its doors; we pray for God's grace, His wisdom, words, and guidance in leading souls to Him. We pray that God will bring in the rich and the poor, the educated and the non-educated to hear the words that God has given particularly for them. So, I dare you to step into a thrift store, especially The Browse Around. Look around, and see what God is trying to tell you. Yes, you will see the needy, but you will also see reality. And the reality is: Jesus is everywhere, especially among the less fortunate. When you go into a thrift store, remember that although Jesus was the Creator of the heavens and the earth, and all that exists, he had no place to call His own, and were dependent upon the hospitality of others. He would not have been ashamed to step into a thrift store. So, instead of worrying about what others might think of you entering such a store, remember that Jesus never looked at any place too lowly for His presence. Jesus was a blessing everywhere He went, and that's the way we should be.

Thank God for All His Blessings - (December 7, 2007)
I would like to give almighty God thanks for all He has done for me during this year; He has kept me in blessed health and was so good to me I want to give him praise and glory. I am a Adventist sister in the Cayman islands and I attend the seventh day Adventist church in Georgetown

God Smaked! - (December 3, 2007)
One year ago I went to my mother’s home after selling my home. While there, she asked me to finish painting her house, but within a short time I needed to move the two story scaffolding from the ground and a large plank came lose from the top falling down and hitting me on top of my head. Over the next two months I went to a bone cracker 3 times and got X-rays and a cat scan the first of 3 visits to the emergency room but nothing was found. Doctors were rude and mean to me treating me like a drug addict yet I knew that something was really wrong. When I got a clinic to order MRI's it was found that C6 was shattered! I got the surgery that fused C4,5,and 6 and spent the next year resting up and watching 3ABN and learned that I had lost my love of GOD and lost my way as well. I recovered completely and now am walking with my eyes on the lord thanks to the truth given on your station. My prayers include you.

Thanks Alot for 3abn for What Isaw Through Inernet - (December 1, 2007)
First of all I thank Good for what is doing for his people, through 3abn all over the world ,especially I myself. I saw wonderful things through internet about 3abn. I am sorry because I can’t tell what I saw or read in internet about 3abn, because of my poor English. I am looking forward to inform me more about.

Thanks To God & 3abn Warrior Team - (November 20, 2007)
I take this opportunity to express my thanks to God who has seen me through difficulties time in my Life during the entire period when I was unemployment while pursuing my MBA Education. Secondly, I thank 3ABN for accepting to join in prayer seeking sessions that have opened my doors for success and God has answered my prayers as I sent the request for your consideration. I requested that God should open door for me to finish my thesis, pay my school fee, secure employment, and give my daddy good health. I am very happy that God has answered all these requests. I have graduated and have my MBA degree. I managed to defend and pay the entire school fee balance that was outstanding. Besides, God has given me an employment with Mount Meru University as a Lecturer. My daddy's health has improved quite well. I am still asking you to remember him in your prayer for God will do wonders as He has done already. Thanks to God and for 3ABN for helping me see that I still have a Christian family that I can belong in moment of happiness and sadness.

Baptism - (November 19, 2007)
One year ago November 2006, I was invited along with other members of my family to visit Lithonia SDA Church, here in Atlanta Georgia, to hear our cousin Pastor Ivor Meyers speak. This was my first time attending an SDA Church. The message was compelling, and the warmth of the people was so welcoming that I never left. Last Sabbath November17, my cousin Sharon and I were baptized and became members of the Lithonia Seventh Day Adventist Church with our families watching! I am so thankful to God for His presence in my life and for giving me a heart tender enough to receive His truth and making me obedient to His will and His guidance.

Prayer Is Power - God Is Listening - (November 19, 2007)
This is a copy of the testimony I gave to 3 churches that were praying for my brother PRAYER IS POWER - GOD IS LISTENING In October 17, 2006, we received the news that my brother (father of 3) was in the hospital in Sao Paulo, Brazil in critical condition. The doctors had no idea what kind of bacteria was rapidly taking over his entire lungs. Several tests were done and in a matter of days, Cleverson was transferred to the intensive care unit and breathing through a machine. On October 18, my mother went to Brazil and at the airport I said to her: “Mom, I’ll be going to Sao Paulo tomorrow.” I am not taking the kids because their passport is not ready. She replied: “You have never left your girls before; I can not believe that you will have the courage to go without them.” The next day, I departed from Richmond Airport to NY and Sao Paulo. The night before my trip, just before I went to bed I heard this phrase in my head: “Just believe, just believe and he will be cured.” I was teaching the cradle roll the week before about Jairus’ daughter and how he approached Jesus for help and when his servant said: “Master, please do not bother Jesus anymore. Your daughter is dead.” Jesus said to him: “Wait, just believe and she will be cured.” I was telling Robert about these thoughts that night, and just before he came to bed, while he was brushing his teeth he had this thought in his head: “Daisy’s prayers will be answered.” I was so happy when I heard this. This gave me so much faith that God was going to take care of my brother. The next morning, my mother came to pick me up at the airport in Sao Paulo. She said that Cleverson was in critical condition and was not awake most of the time since he was heavily sedated. We went to Cleverson’s house to drop off the luggage and when I went to the shower; my mom received a phone call from Thais, Cleverson’s wife. She said: Jeni, please come soon. The group of doctors taking care of Cleverson would like to speak with the family. I said to mom: “Please go, I will meet you later”. I got a taxi cab and when I arrived at the hospital; my mom was waiting for me at the reception. She took me to the reception on the 9th floor. There we found Thais with three of Cleverson’s doctors. I will never forget the look on her face as she had just received some news. My mom asked: What is it Thais? What is going on with Cleverson? With a look of terror and tears rolling down her face, she said: It is Leukemia. My mom said: Oh my GOD…. As I was watching this scene right before my eyes, I could not stop thinking about the miracles that God has made in our lives. I pointed to the doctors and said: Thais, mom… these doctors are instruments in God’s hands. This is what they have diagnosed today. God can move mountains, for God everything is possible. God is the One holding Cleverson's life in His hands. Please remember the miracles in our lives… In 2004, Robert went to work one morning and came back with a lump on his shoulder that wasn’t there in the morning. Two days later we went to the Fairfax hospital for an ultrasound when expecting our second baby, and found out that there was a 90% chance of having a baby with Down syndrome. We put our knees on the floor and prayed to God. “Dear Father, we give everything to you. Our lives, our babies, our dog, house, everything that we have. God, one miracle seems to be a lot to ask, but 2 miracles, seem almost impossible. We come to you in prayer asking for your mercy and compassion. Please let Robert and Christiana be okay. A few days later, Robert’s biopsy results showed a benign tumor. A few days later after a CVS test, the doctors called to let us know that Christiana would not have Down syndrome, but there was a 50% chance of heart surgery just after her birth. We continued to pray and ask for prayers and give all to God. Christiana was born on Nov 4th 2004 at the Fairfax hospital. After several tests at the intensive care unit, they told us that she is a normal baby. Robert had a few biopsies done, and all of them came negative for cancer. His doctor told me after one of the surgeries that he had and while I was still pregnant with Christiana that it was hard to believe that it was not cancer since the cells were so well defined… Cleverson was anointed on Saturday morning, October 21st. Two days after my arrival. The doctors were afraid to start the treatment since this was going to lower his immune system. They were treating his lungs infection with antibiotics. There was a little bleeding in one of the lungs, too. Since there was a slight improvement the week before with no further changes, they decided to start the chemo. One of the doctors said that it was "everything or nothing...", but they could not wait any longer since the cancer was spreading too quickly. After a week in Brazil praying and fasting with my mom and 2 sisters that arrived from Richmond and Boston, Cleverson was in stable condition, but in critical condition. The doctors said that this was a miracle that he survived another week. Cleverson was very sedated all week, but there were moments that he wanted to open his eyes and look at us. Every visit hour at noon and 8 pm, I would be the last one to enter the room after my mom and Thais and would stay for 10 to 15 minutes. I kept talking to him about his kids and how beautiful they are and about things that they were doing during that day. I would also pray at night for him to have a calm night with no pain. I kept telling him that God is power and that he needed to give in to the Lord and ask Him to go back to his little ones and his wife. I kept saying almost every day: “Cleverson, I am sure you are going to walk out of this room”. Just ask God to go back home to your family.” Three to four days later after the chemo, Cleverson’s body started to swell up and his face, hands and legs were getting very big. My mom was in tears when she told me that she wasn’t sure if she could go into Cleverson’s room. The pain that she was facing for watching her son laying helpless, unable to speak or move his legs or hands on that bed was so great that she was afraid she would pass out in the room. I said: “Mom, I understand how you feel and I’ll be praying and will ask others to pray for you, too. You and Thais are very important pieces in Cleverson’s salvation and cure”. On my last day in Brazil, 10/26/06, I spent all day at the hospital praying. I was anxious to see my brother and at the same time nervous for I had to tell him I was departing. What a hard day it was for me to leave him when he was still under such critical condition and not able to really see me and could barely open his eyes. At the time of the visit, I was holding Cleverson’s hand and saying that I needed to get back to Isabella, Christiana & Robert, but that my prayers would be with him. I said that God is omnipresent and is everywhere. My prayers here and in Brazil are the same. God is with everyone at the same time and knows our needs and prayers before we ask. I asked God for a word of comfort in prayer before I opened my Bible and just before I saw my brother to say goodbye. I closed my eyes and opened the Bible on Psalms 6. It talks about the suffering and prayers of King David and forgiveness:" There were days that we could see the tears on Cleverson’s face. He had been crying. He was not conscious most of the time, but he could hear us and if stimulated, answer with his eyes and slightly move his hands. I though about his tears, and how much he was suffering physically and emotionally. Until this day, every verse I found in the Bible was saying that God was listening our prayers and our cry, but when I read Psalm 6; "For the Lord has heard the voice of my weeping. The Lord has heard my supplication. The Lord will “receive my prayer." I cried for the first time since he went to the hospital. My sisters went to a Seventh Day Adventist open house to buy some books and were so deeply sad and in need of hearing something from God that day. They bought a morning meditation book and opened it on this day, 10/26/06 (the same day I found a message in the Bible about King David, Psalms 6) and the title of the message that day was “God Listens”. Pastor Bullion wrote about King David and his infirmity and suffering. He made some comparisons about some people in our days suffering from cancer and like David we sometimes ask “My soul also is greatly troubled, But You O Lord – how long? Return, O Lord, deliver-me!”. David was not different than you and me. There are moments that we vacillate and our patience reaches the limit and we get discouraged and ask the same question: “Until when Oh God… almost doubting in face of the circumstances. What impressed this Pastor the most about Psalms 6 was not the pain or suffering or afflictions and adversities that King David faced, but the extraordinary way that the Psalmist ended this Psalm: “The Lord heard my supplication; The Lord will receive my prayer.” He said that God always listens. It may seem like it is taking a long time. It may give you the impression that He will not help us, but He always listens. He is listening to you this very moment. This way, claim like the psalmist: “Return O Lord, deliver me! Oh, free my soul and save me by your grace.” Just before I left the room I said: “Cleverson, give your path to the Lord and trust Him”. I also sang a song that his little girl and I like very much that says: "Life passes so fast and everything that life brings... I don't fear the future, because God is with me. The world can fall apart; I have peace in my heart..." After this song, I felt his hand holding my hand tight. It was so hard to say goodbye. A friend called to let me know that while she was going to church to pray for Cleverson the day before my trip, she prayed that the pastor would send a message that would comfort our family. That day, the pastor spoke about the miracles in the past that were performed by the prophets. He said that in the past, they cured people in the name of Jesus. Today, we are Jesus’ prophets, the Church. With our prayers and faith, many are cured and saved. When I was at the airport, there were so many people waiting at the reception area at our gate. It was a very busy day. I was sitting on the first row of chairs when I noticed that a woman from the last row across the hall stoop up and walked towards me. She asked me a question about the connection flight in NY and said that she was a little nervous. Her husband was working on an assignment for 2 years in the US and that he found out that he had cancer. He had already scheduled 8 sessions of chemo and she had to leave her 2 teenager daughters in order to stay with her husband and support him in this difficult moment of his life. I let her know about my 2 girls, too and everything that has happened to my brother and about the power of prayer... She was so thankful for the words of comfort and could not believe that we had such similar stories. She said: “You know, I believe that God had put us together today. I really needed to hear some words of comfort… Thank you. When I entered the plane, I could not believe who was sitting next to me, a Seventh Day Adventist friend from one the Richmond Churches. Marden started talking to me about the reason why he was in Brazil. His sister had passed away with cancer. We started talking about God and faith and Marden brought up some conversations he had with some pastors in his town about the prophets in the past being able to cure in the name of Jesus. He asked me: “Daisy - Who are God’s prophets today?” “We are, the Church... “ I could not believe that he repeated the same words that my friend said the day before my trip. I truly felt the presence of God in my life that day. I was so devastated for leaving Brazil, but when I heard this, I said to Marden: “This is no coincidence”. I felt that I should continue having faith and hope and that God had a plan for Cleverson. On November 6th, just 2 weeks after the chemo, it was one of the miracles that only God can do... Cleverson showed improvement, his lungs “were clear” and the doctors had decided to remove his respirator, but he still needed an oxygen mask. He spoke briefly over the phone with me. It was one of the most beautiful days of my life! They decided to transfer Cleverson to another hospital more specialized in cases of Leukemia. Unfortunately, just after this move, he was presenting a persistent fever and they started to run tests to find out if he had any infection or any other problems. They found an infection on his neck, where the catheter was placed for the blood transfusion. I called Pastor Ed and Cheryl of the Vienna Church in Northern Virginia and 2 pastors in Richmond to ask for prayers for his fever and infection. I also sent all my dear friends and family an e-mail message asking for prayers. My 2 sisters, Lyllian from Boston and Joyce from Richmond and I were praying with our husbands and our kids that night several times and fasting. I heard that the kids of our dear friends were praying, too... GOD is "so Wonderful and Almighty"! He is "Good and Benevolent and has so much Compassion"! My mom called from the hospital in tears. The night before, my brother was feeling very sick, still had a 103 to 104 fever. While she was putting wet cold towels on his face, he said: "Mom, the last key will unlock and everything will be finished." It was late when she called Thais, his wife, to come to the hospital immediately. The next morning, after having fever since he was transferred to the new hospital a week before, Cleverson woke up with no fever. The doctor came to the room and gave my mom the news that his spine was producing good cells and the exams showed that his lungs were clear. He was still using the oxygen mask, but the lung capacity was around 90% or higher. This was truly a miracle and God's will. Cleverson needed a lot of prayers still, and we thanked all families for all their LOVE and we have no words to express how "THANKFULL" we are... His body had still a long way to go to produce good cells and the emotional part would also play a big role on his recovery. They were planning to tell him about his sickness in the near future. My mom said the next day that Cleverson had some fluid in his lungs. It's because that he was staying in bed too long. They had been walking him to the bathroom and helping him shower. He was also doing physical therapy. My mom also said that he was a little agitated and hadn't slept well for 2 nights. The night before, she asked him if he wanted to pray. He said yes. After being away from The church for so many years, Cleverson prayed to Jesus. On November 11, just after a few days from being away from the intensive care his doctors decided to bring him back to the intensive care unit to monitor him better since he had an infection, water in his lungs and fever. Before he went to the intensive care, he asked my mom to pray for him. He also asked to pray earlier that morning. Mom told me that he sang a song that we used to sing when we were little "God is so good". Five days later, Cleverson's good cells, Leucocitos (white cells), increased in number. His doctors expressed that his recovery was amazing! Thais and my mom answered: "God is amazing! Glory, glory, glory!" Cleverson still had water in his lungs and the doctors decided to tell him that he has Leukemia. He did not ask any questions or made any comments. My mom said that he was calm and seemed to be in peace. Thais mentioned later that he was a little confused with all of this... Thais asked him to have faith and pray to God to give him faith. He said that in the beginning, during his staying at the intensive care with the respirator, he used to cry thinking that he would never see his kids again. Isn't God Wonderful? Today he is able to speak and open his heart. Five days later, Cleverson was transferred out of the intensive care and a day later he had some special visitors... Victoria (6), Alexandre and Gabriel (3) went to see daddy! What a wonderful picture this must have been... Cleverson waited for sooo long for this moment! God is so AMAZING and WONDERFUL! We won't get tired of saying this over and over again! "Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you." Mathew 7:7 "But Jesus looked at them and said to them: "With men this is impossible, but with God all things are possible." Mathew 19:26 Our family is so thankful for all the prayers. We could truly feel the presence of God in our lives and are so grateful for all the miracles that He has done. We've been learning so much with all of this... It is a time for a lot of reflection, prayer and closeness with God. It is a time for being thankful for all the help that He has sent us through so many people that prayed and are praying for Cleverson. It is a time to be thankful for all the prayers that have been answered, for all the obstacles that he had helped Cleverson overcome. 12/02 - Something so special happened this week. Cleverson was allowed to go home. He was spending time with his family before he had to return to the hospital the following week for a new session of chemotherapy. This treatment should last around 6 months. 12/12 - God’s Love is so Great and has no Limits… Cleverson’s recovery amazed the doctors and everyone watching him each day… There were days at the intensive care when one doctor said: “Only a miracle can save him”. Another week passes and they say: “He only has a 20% chance of living”. After a couple of weeks he is moved out of the intensive care. After a week, he is back to the intensive care again. Two weeks later he is home, spending time with his family. Today, he is at the hospital for treatment with a new hope. He hopes to see his kids, family and friends again. We trust in God and give everything to Him. We pray that Cleverson continues to give everything to Him. We pray that God continues to bless you and all the Church family praying for Cleverson. May all of our prayers be received by God as a sweet perfume. May He accept all of our prayers. 01/29 - Cleverson was going to the hospital every week to have his blood checked. I found out that they had to stop the chemotherapy before the treatment was over. The medicine given just before the treatment was affecting his heart. 01/22 - I spoke to Cleverson a few times land he seemed tired and discouraged. I was telling him that I went to a company meeting in Orlando last week and met a man with an interesting story. Our group took a van to go to dinner. I noticed that the driver was speaking in Portuguese on the radio with another colleague. We started speaking in Portuguese. He is from Sao Paulo. He has been living in the US for 3 months. He is a lawyer and was working for the Federal Justice in Brazil. When going to work one morning, he was kidnapped and put in the trunk of his own car. The kidnappers kept him in the car while driving him in a highway from 7 am to 6 pm. After this, they drove off the road to the woods and shot him on the chest. This man passed out and the kidnappers left the scene thinking that he was dead. Later, he woke up bleeding and unable to move his legs. In the middle of the dark, he tried really hard to get to the road where he could see from a distance the lights from the cars passing by. He dragged himself slowly and finally made it to the road where he waived his hand, but no one would stop... He thought to himself: "I am going to die here..." Suddenly, a guy in a motorcycle stopped and asked his name. He said "Ricardo". This man said: "Ricardo, you are not going to die! You came all the way from the middle of the woods to this road to ask for help. If you were able to drag yourself way here, you are not going to die, Ricardo. My name is Ricardo, too. You are going to be okay." He passed out and woke up with the ambulance and the police taking him to the hospital. He asked about this guy, but no one heard or saw him. Ricardo was in coma for 17 days, but with a lot of prayers from friends and people that heard his story, he is now alive. He has 2 kids and decided to change his life and came here to work. I told Ricardo that he was “born again” and that anyone can see that God has a plan for him. I believed that God had a plan for Cleverson, too. On May 29, 2007, Cleverson was admitted to the intensive care with an infection and extremely low blood pressure. After some tests, he was diagnosed with gallstones. He was having some uncomfortable pain in the abdomen for a while. Cleverson had his gallbladder and some large stones removed. His recovery was a point of concern since he was still trying to recover from his last chemo. His immune system was very low. He had been receiving more blood transfusions and platelets (cells that can be used to control bleeding). He was also going through a lot of pain. Again we asked our dear pastors, family and friends for prayers. Lat June, after recovering from surgery and with the treatment being over, Cleverson went home to his family. For the first time since everything started, he was allowed to eat fruits and vegetables. He said that he couldn’t wait to eat a good fresh salad with lettuce and tomatoes. Once, a dear friend that gave Robert and I Bible studies said that faith is like this: It’s like being in a small plane, flying in a middle of the night with a huge thunder storm and lightning. There is no visibility outside, it is so clouded. You are afraid and there is nothing else you can do, but to trust the instruments… It is scary… but you know that your only chance is to “trust” the instruments so you can go home. The same is with life. We don’t know the future, and this leave us anxious many times and scared, but we know that if we “trust” in God, he can take control of our life and guide us to where we need to go. Dear Friends, I know that God has a plan for each one of you, too. Our friends’ prayers have been impacting Cleverson’s life and his family’s life during this difficult journey. Our prayer is that He blesses your lives immensely. Let’s pray for each other. It is AMAZING what God can do when we pray! “May the glory of the Lord endure forever; May the Lord rejoice in His works. He looks on the earth, and it trembles; He touches the hills, and they smoke. I will sing to the Lord as long as I live. I’ll sing praise to my God while I have my being. May my meditation be sweet to HimI’ll be glad in the Lord.” Psalm 104: 31-34

To God Be the Glory - (November 18, 2007)
I want to give God praise for His protection. Couple weeks ago I was coming from the food store and decided to stop at the pharmacy, coming from the parking lot I had to cross the street to get to the pharmacy., for a split second I realize that I was on the wrong side of the road, a big trailer truck was coming straight at me, but the mighty hand of God, through His 'Angel, simple move me out of the way protecting me from what could have been my sure death. THAN YOU JESUS! To God Be The Glory

God Will Provide Ministries/Media Ministry - (November 18, 2007)
I praised God that at last 3ABN will finally be available through a local cable television in the towns of Katipinan and Pres. M.A. Roxas, province of Zamboanga del Norte, Philippines. I also praised God for using 3abn to help me grow in faith in our ministry.

Successful Open-Heart Surgery - (November 7, 2007)
To God be the glory, great things He has done. Today November 7th marks exactly two months, since I had my Aortic Valve Replaced at Piedmont Hospital in Atlanta, GA. This was my third heart surgery, so I asked every praying person to pray for me. I even called 3abn and Jose prayed with me. Praise be to the Lord, I am recovering satisfactorily. The Lord truly is worthy to be praised.

Finding Your Purpose in Life - (October 23, 2007)
I've been a Seventh-day Adventist Christian for 40 years. Often, I have heard many Christians of different denominations say they don't feel a "real purpose," in life; they don't feel they have any special talents, or any attributes that would be a blessing to anyone. They feel you must have a famous name, or be endowed with noticeable, dynamic talents, such as singing, preaching, or speaking. And, so it goes, these people that could be used as vessels for God sit on the side-lines watching others do God's work. Life goes on, and in their "autumn years," they look back and feel they haven't accomplished anything. It's true that many people are shy or of a more quiet spirit, and it is a bit more difficult to be as aggressive as others in forwarding the gospel. That's where my testimony comes in. While growing up, I was VERY SHY. I was more of an "observer," as a dear friend told me. I watched, and listened to the way others treated each other. As I watched relationships mend, or unravel, I learned a great deal about people. I learned what makes them hurt, or sad; angry, or lovable. I also learned that no matter how bad things get in your own life, lending a helping hand, or a sympathetic ear can save someone's very soul. I'm a volunteer Science teacher for our Christian school in Thompsonville, Illinois, and my husband and I are volunteers for Three Angel's Broadcasting's thrift shop, "Browse Around." When life gets rough, or the world seems to "turn on you," reaching out to others in need, dispels the entire world's problems, and lifts your eyes toward heaven. In touching other's lives, you forget about yourself, and remember what you're here for; what your purpose is; YOU'RE HERE TO BE A PART OF THE FAMIILY OF GOD! God is lonely, and He wants YOU there!!! And, not only does He want YOUR company, He wants you to bring others WITH YOU! Volunteering to teach, and work at the Browse Around is one of the biggest blessings God has ever given me in my lifetime. To be a part in giving children a Christian education, and to reach out at the Browse Around to help those in need, has been incredibly rewarding. I've learned that one person CAN really make a difference!! I have no special title; I have no famous name; but, I am WILLING to be used by God in whichever way He sees fit. Knowing that I'm a child of the heavenly King, makes me special, and that is enough. And, if I start feeling sorry for myself, I make homemade pumpkin pies, banana nut bread, and homemade vegetable soup, then, I distribute my goodies to my loved ones, and those in need. At times, I might write letters, or send cards, to encourage others. There are so many simple things we can do, that will be a HUGE blessing to those around us! You don't have to move mountains, or part the Red Sea, to be of help to others. Ask God what He will have you to do, and He will definitely show you! God wants His children to be happy, and we're our happiest when we're serving Him, and helping our brothers in sisters in this life! I'm happy living a simple, but busy life for God. I'm happy in reaching out to others, and seeing their joy, knowing that someone really does care. Those rewards are far better than any title, or any amount of money. I'm so grateful that God has helped me realize that I truly do have a purpose in this life, and it is to be a blessing to my brothers and sisters here on earth, and to relieve the pain and sorrow of others. You DON'T have to have any degree, or talent for that; with a prayerful heart, God will grant you a giving, loving heart, NATURALLY!!! Regardless of who you are, your occupation or your background, God can use YOU! My testimony to the world here and the world soon to come is: Be diligent in serving the Lord, and reaching out to others; your reward will be a hundredfold. I'm proof of that. And by the way, when you delve into the work of God, the shyness begins to melt away; you might remain "reserved," somewhat, but your love for Jesus, and what he has done for you, can no longer be hidden within, and you tell your story to the whole world. Rosemary

Thank You Prayer Warriors! - (October 15, 2007)
I want to thank all the prayer warriors who prayed for me and my unborn baby last year. As we faced the possibility of loosing the baby we turned to you for prayer and support. God answered and soon my healthy baby will be turning one. Praise God! Please remember me in your prayers as we face more difficulties with infertility and such!

Miracle - (October 9, 2007)
The Lord helped me find a lost car key at a beach in Antigua. Lenox, Wilson

God Had Shed His Light - (September 26, 2007)
I grew up Christian, and still am, but if this makes sense--I never truly received or felt that great feeling of receiving the Jesus as my LORD and Savior. I was baptized as well, religion was a part of my life, but not as major as it is now. I think about God in everything, and I'm also glad I do and glad that it is a big part of my life now. I'll never forget the time I found my first Bible. I knew we had a Bible in the house somewhere and I would look for it but I could never find it and i got frustrated..and kind of upset also. Then I remember I was looking for it one day and I was just about to give up. I stood in the living room, looking into the dining room thinking of where else it could be. Then I turned my head and looked at the china cabinet we had in the dining room..I saw something shining and glittering out of a drawer that was just cracked open and I wondered what it was..it looked silvery almost. It was kind of unusual considering that those drawers are rarely open. So then I walked over to see what it was and I looked into the drawer and found the precious Bible gleaming right at me. It was amazing because it was as though God had shed his light on it to catch my attention. I praise Him, I'm so grateful to have had that experience because it was like he was there. Showing me the way to him for me to follow, as he still does.

My Mom - (September 25, 2007)
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you all for your prayers and support during this time. This has been one of the longest and most exhausting weeks in my life. However I cannot complain, because my mom is here! To recap, the surgery on Tuesday went very well. The surgery began at 8 a.m. and by 9:25 a.m. Dr. Appel was talking to us about it. He said it was amazing, that the cancer was as freestanding as something could be in your body. He said he literally could put his hand around it and cup it. The nodule, as he called it, was very small. He said it had not had the opportunity to get itself “rooted” into any other parts of her body! He felt very confidant that he was able to get it all. After he said all of this, tears of joy filled my eyes, as I could hear the exact words I personally spoke to the Lord asking Him to keep the cancer contained and not to let it spread or attach itself to any other organs or parts of her body. Even better news, the cancer was not in a lymph node as originally thought, but rather it was in a nerve nodule! This is great news because the nerve is not a transporter, so the cancer truly was contained!!!!! God is so GOOD!!!!!! He did say microscopic cancerous cells could still be in her body and we will only know that once we see the new films. To this I ask that you continue to pray with me, that all of the cancer is GONE!!! With All My Love, Leti

Thanks for Successful Surgery - (September 25, 2007)
About two weeks ago, I requested prayers for my sister's brain tumor surgery. The initial surgery did not succeed because she went into seizures. After a week of anti-seizure meds, they went in again yesterday. It is over and she is recovering without problems. While we are relieved for that, we still pray that she will yet acknowledge the Lord's hand in her ordeal. Thanks for the prayer line. Ken

The Hand of God Through the Note Pad - (September 18, 2007)
I support a lot of meetings as part of my job. So this particular meeting was very important. It was a two day meeting. At the end of the first day of the meeting I packed everything into the car. As I was driving to work the second day of the meeting, I realized that the note pad that I wrote the meeting minutes and the action items in was not in the car. I called my husband and asked him to look for it and bring for me at the meeting. My husband looked everywhere in the house and the note pad was no where to be found. I looked everywhere in the car and in the conference room but it was not there. I can almost hear my boss' voice ringing in my head "Donna, take detailed and copious notes. This is a very important meeting." I got to work at 7:15 in order to set up for the next meeting since it was a two day meeting. The work day starts at 8AM. So the parking lot was empty when I got there. Then I thought "well, maybe the note book fell on the ground as I was loading my car yesterday." So I parked my car looked through the empty parking lot and there was no notebook. I did not see how I could have lost the note pad. I was to the point of tears because my job was on the line. I asked the Lord for help. "Lord I really need your help here. I need to find that note pad, so please help me". I went inside and made preparation for the upcoming meeting. It was about 11:00AM when I left to go pick up lunch for the attendees. I was really to the point of tears at this point. I said Lord "I need to find this note pad. I don't know where else to look for it but you do. I need to find the note pad, Lord. You have to come through for me now. Thank you, Lord, for coming through for me." I was still talking to the Lord as I was compelled to look forward, and in between two cars there was the note pad face down on the ground. That day I saw the hand of the Lord as visibly as I am seeing this computer in front of me. It was like when Peter was release from jail by the Angel and he thought he was dreaming. The parking lot was empty with no cars and I looked for that note pad but did not find it but found it when the parking lot was full of cars. The Lord is involved in every aspect of His children's lives. If it is important to you, you better believe that it is important to the Lord. Praise His holy name. Donna, Torrence

A Miracle ! - (September 14, 2007)
My Step daughter Christina Hutton was in a head on car crash a week ago last Saturday night. She was placed on life support systems with little to no chance of surviving it much less even surviving the crash itself. We prayed over her and Our Seventh-day Adventist Minister and an Elder from our church anointed her with oil. Within 24 hours she began to show improvement and in 48 hours she was taken off life suppor, thriving on her own. She is now in the trauma unit in Lakeland where she remains in guarded condition and continues to show improvement. We are asking for every one to continue to pray as our Lord and savior is alive and working miracles today. We are also asking for financial prayers as this has taken its toll on our family but, we will continue to leave these things in God’s hands thank you all and God Bless. Charles and Jeaneen Downey

God Answers Prayers... - (August 27, 2007)
I would like thank God for prayers answered for my husband, Robert. He was not able to sleep well for a couple of weeks with so much pain after a shoulder surgery. Last week, after requesting prayers from the 3ABN prayer warriors and prayers from friends and family, he was able to sleep almost every night without pain. GOD BLESS YOU! Daisy

Praise God - (August 16, 2007)
I ask you to pray for my husband when we found out he had prostate cancer. Well he chose to have the procedure Cryocare, where they freeze the cancer. We got to the hospital at 6:30 this morning and we were back home at 11:30. The Dr said everything went good. Thanks so much for your prayers and the prayer warriors. We serve a mighty God. Magalene McIntyre

Witness - (August 14, 2007)
I am staying in Puna, India. By God's grace I am working as a teacher in Seventh-day Adventist school. One day a mother came with her two daughters and told her problems. And she also said that she had seen 3abn. After fasting prayer, again she came and witnessed that the long years of 15 years of hardships from her husband, now he stopped everyday beating her. For the first time her children are studying nicely and one of her daughter got prizes in competitions. Now they need Bible study. So every Saturday I am telling them about God. But I don’t know proper Hindi language, so please pray for me so that I can give the messages to many.

Amazing By True - (July 31, 2007)
I was brought up by Seventh Day Adventist parents. I married a non-Adventist and backslide for the last 20 years or so. BUT thanks to 3abn, I praise God for this channel I am now going back to church and through 3abn it has strengthened my faith in the Lord. I would also like to mention here I love 3abn; I go to sleep in front of the TV watching 3abn. Here is something amazing that happen--I would like to share even my 12 year old son noticed. Our power unit was showing 9 units for the last 7 days. We always use 3 units per day but somehow even though I was watching 3abn till the early hours of the morning even if I fall asleep and the channel is on we still have our power supply. When my son checked the power unit we realized that we where using only 1 unit or less than that. You know what my son said, mum it’s because you always watch 3abn. Praise God he is an awesome God. Love you all at 3abn. Elsie Haru

Testimony - (July 31, 2007)
I was born in San Francisco, Ca. and became very familiar with the streets and how to handle myself by the age of 14. Drugs were a familiar part of my life, usually washed down with a beer or wine. Three of my brothers and sisters were constantly in trouble with the law and if we were to add the number of years in jail it would equal 55. I was deeply involved with drugs, and thought nothing of drinking a bottle or two of wine with dinner most of my life. I was deeply involved with the mafia, hells angels, and several underground groups. At age 62 I went in for a physical and was diagnosed with a serious heart condition, otherwise known as clogged arteries. The doctors wanted to do a 5-way bypass and I resisted to the end. I looked feverishly on line for an alternative and found a place called Weimar Institute and a new start program that could reverse my condition. I called Weimar and spoke with Dr.Ing, who advised me to get up there right away and go through the program. When I told my wife and family they thought I had flipped out, because the Cardiologist said with the amount of weight lifting I was doing at the gym I was lucky I didn’t drop dead of a heart attack and did not think I had a choice but to go through the surgery. After visiting UC Davis Medical center and talking with 5 cardiologists about my condition, they advised me to proceed with the surgery. Jan 3, 2003 I underwent a five way bypass. I thought this was the end of my days. My entire family gathered at the hospital to wish me good luck, while others bid me goodbye. I woke up two days later with my arms and legs sliced from one end to the other. Later doctors told me they needed veins and arteries to do the bypass. After the bypass I began my long road back to being able to walk and take care of myself. With my wife Cindy by my side, I knew I was going to be okay. I started drinking alcohol immediately after surgery. Drugs and alcohol were a poor mix, and became very aware of this with daily hallucinations, i.e., walls opening and rats and rodents of all types crawling in and out, all of this I kept to myself. One day while sitting on the side of my bed at our new house in Grass Valley I began to cry, Cindy asked what is the matter. I told her I couldn’t go on living like I was living. I was scared to death with diabetes, high blood pressure, over weight, I couldn’t sleep, angry most of the time and the truth be known I was a drunk. She said what about that place you told me about, Weimar? We called and spoke with Cynthia for a short time. We jumped into the car and drove to Weimar within the next hour. We signed up for what we thought was going to be an 18 day retreat to see if I could reverse all these conditions I had accumulated as a result of all the foods I ate and alcohol . We drove home and were excited about our decision to go to Weimar and take the Newstart program. Fortunately we had the money, which was to be used for our 25th wedding anniversary party. We had plans to invite everyone we knew to attend our party and witness our exchanging of vows. None the less we used our money for a new lease on life. On August 14, 2005 we arrived at Weimar and where introduced to our new living quarters for the next 18 days. I was excited and wanted to go for a walk right away. That excitement passed quickly when I realized that it was about 105 degrees. I was so out of shape and overweight the walk was torture. Every bone and muscle in my body ached from not being used for such a long time. Monday morning was indoctrination and as I recall they drew our blood and did a urinalysis. The next day they put me on a tread mill and Dr Orlich had me walking faster than I had ever walked. He said I wasn’t in that bad of shape for a guy in my condition. We had cooking classes, morning worship with a guy I thought for sure was much too happy, his name is Pastor John. In the morning we would have stretching classes and a good walk to loosen up then at 6:45 am breakfast. I noticed something quite unique about all the staff they seemed so calm, loving, caring and peaceful. When we went to Dr Orlich’s office, he would always ask if he could pray with us. At massage they wanted to pray with us, everywhere we went people wanted to pray. We thought this was great and became very aware of how special Weimar and our stay was going to be. After three days on the program I stopped taking my diabetes meds, Dr. Orlich said that I no longer needed them. Three days later I stopped two high blood pressure meds. This was amazing to me, after all when I arrived my blood pressure was 155/96 or very close to that. At the time I stopped taking the BP meds it was consistently around 128/77. My blood pressure has been consistently normal since I went through the Newstart program. As I continued walking and eating a proper diet, the excess weight began to melt away. By the end of 18 days I lost 20lbs or more. My last bit of alcohol was August the 14th 2005, and was also the last time I ate any kind of animal product. I became a Vegan at Weimar and remain the same today. I have lost a total of 55 lbs, have more energy than when I was a young man, look better than ever and can actually walk several miles per day without panting. Before we left Weimar I asked if there was a way we could learn more about the Bible. Dr. Orlich said he would have someone get in touch with us. Stephanie Jaeger was our Bible study partner for the next two months. She and Dr. Orlich suggested we attend a “Revelation Promises Hope,” seminar led by evangelist Brian McMahon. After the seminar we were baptized and all of a sudden all the pieces began to fit together, we realized God was calling us in a way that was so profound. My life has been one beautiful event after another. My health and business have gotten better. My wife Cindy and I attended “Marriage Encounter” and are now able to communicate in a much more loving and caring way. We are truly blessed and owe a great deal to Weimar, the Newstart program, and the staff that made our stay an experience of a lifetime. I would recommend the Newstart program to anyone who has any type of health condition. I found that most health issues can be overcome by following the principles that Weimar teaches. By following the Newstart program, I regained my health and hope for a long and happy life. I am willing to discuss my experience with anyone who wishes. I can be reached at the following: Danny, this is the short version. God Bless Ron Giannoni 916-223-1806 ron@rcg-realestate.com

12 Minutes To Get in Line - (July 5, 2007)
In April/May of 2007, I sent in an emergency prayer request for my daughter who attended a University in Washington DC. Mandy (my daughter) received news that she was not going to march with her class in May of 2007. She was devastated when she heard the news. Mandy called me, and we talked about it and began to pray with each other on the phone that God will make a way out of no way. I began making several calls to the school to get a clearer understanding as to why she may not march. After being on the phone with the school, and doing what I could from home (Alabama), day after day, I knew it was time to bring out the heavy artillery. I called on the one man army, "GOD." It was God's plan for me to go to Washington DC a week before graduation, and meet the department of the Chairs face to face, as well as the Head Dean of the school, and any other individual that was connected to this situation. After my arrival, I began to search out individuals that God had guided me to speak with. Those that I spoke to were giving me all negative responses. Every time a staff member (including the secretary) would answer "NO" or "it is not possible for her to do this", it was like piercing our hearts over and over. I paused several times thorough out each day, when we didn't know what to do or what to say. I repeatedly reminded my Heavenly Father according to His word, all we had to do was ask, believe and walk on Faith as if it was already done. My heart was aching for my daughter, and I knew that she was running low on "faith fuel," however she continued to persevere. Somehow I knew in my heart that she was going to march, but I didn't know how. The only thing I was sure about was my "FAITH." On May 12th the day of graduation, we were still getting "NO" answers. My prayers were constantly going up during the days and nights. I began to plea for guidance; and reminding him of his promises. On this day, May 12, 2007 we decided to make one last attempt. Mandy and I went to The Head Dean of the University, who others considered very hard and difficult. We started over by sharing with him about the situation. To our surprise, he was a very caring and empathizing person. By this time it was 11:50am, and the graduates had to be in line by 12:30pm., and there we sat (my daughter and me) in his office waiting for a positive response from him. To our disappointment just like everyone else we spoke with, the Deans words to us were "NO"; however in the same breath he stated that she would need a cap and gown if she was going to march. My daughter stated to him that she knew of one of the alumnus who graduated last year, and perhaps they would have their cap and gown. He answered "you do?" I asked the Dean what he was trying to say. His response, "Well if she had a cap and gown..." (He didn't finish his sentence-we were somewhat puzzled). My only question to him was could she march? He looked at his watch and mentioned it is about 12:00 noon and she must be in line at 12:30. We (daughter and I) did not hesitate, we left out of his office so fast, and lightning couldn't catch us. At 12:18pm Mandy was putting on her cap and gown. By 12:30 she was in line ready to march with her class of 2007. Oh how we both rejoiced. Watching God's one man army in action was amazing. This experience has definitely increased our faith, and has made us look forward to marching in "God's Army." My dear friends at 3ABN, and all the prayer warriors, my daughter and I thank you so much for your prayers. Our God is an awesome God! Amanda & Mandy

Thank God for All These Miracles - (June 28, 2007)
I just want to praise and thank God for all the testimonies on this site and the ones not posted. I came here with a heavy heart, as I am unemployed and running out of savings. I am totally encouraged by the faith people have in the most tragic of circumstances. It is truly a blessing for me to draw comfort from reading of the trust in God of people who've come through far worse than me. I also want to give a praise update on my own earlier testimony from March 18, 2006, when a rental car agency was trying to lie about me damaging a car. They harassed me for months; changing the amount of money they wanted, refusing to sign any documents, etc. If it wasn't for God first, and the prayers and support of my family, I almost accepted responsibility and paid the money just to be done with them. The Holy Spirit was in my mother to call and stop me right at the moment as I was writing a check, to say don't give in, have faith. To make a long story short, I kept everything legal on my end, even when they threatened to send to collections. I sent them a legal statement to cease contact under the law unless they could provide something legal, and they backed off and it's been a year. I had to reread my own testimony to remind me that God has and will always provide (jobs, etc.) in His time. Please, everyone continue to be encouraged and thank you so much for sharing these testimonies. Love, Kelvin Posey.

Trust in the Lord With All Thine Heart - (June 19, 2007)
On June 15, 2007 I was laying in my bed thanking God for who He is and what He has done in my life and what He is doing in my life. Right now, I’m being tried in the fire, praying that I come out as pure gold. I have been unemployed for 9 months. I have been on several interviews but all the jobs required me to work on the Sabbath. I would ask the employers could I have 24 hrs off from Friday sunset to Saturday sunset and they would all tell me they could not guarantee that to me. So I had to turn the job down, trusting My Heavenly Master that He would provide my rent, my food, and my utilities, and at the end of the month. I don’t know what is going to happen but My Living God shows up on His time. So on the 15th of this month at 11:26am while I was thanking God, I got a phone call from a Cardiologist Office telling me that they have two positions that they would like to offer me. So I asked Mrs. Martin does either one of these jobs required you to work on the week-ends and she said NO I then stated that if they did , I would need at-least 24 hrs off from Friday sun-set to Saturday sun-set. She then said she just had to ask me was I Sabbath keeper and I told her YES. She then stated to me that she was also a Sabbath keeper and then I told her that was the reason why I don’t have a job yet and she then stated that God will honor me for that. She then told me that she wanted me to come into the office that Friday at 3:00 pm to interview for the job. When I got into the office she asked me what position I wanted and I told her that my resume show that I am qualified for both of the positions she then told me she wanted me to take a 10 key test. She stated to me that the test will tell me that I did ok and not to worry that no one has ever gotten a great score on the test. After taking the test she looked at my scores and said Oh My!!! No body has ever gotten a score like this. She then proceeded to say that it will take two weeks before the Human resources would call for me.

Prayer Answered - (June 6, 2007)
I finally got divorced last week. I have been requesting prayer quite a few times since last year. The property settlement has been started, and a real battle, thank you for your prayers, otherwise I would never have made it through this. Thank you so much!

My Vision - (May 28, 2007)
Dear Friends at 3ABN: Last December, I dreamed that I was standing on a beach preaching to the sea---many peoples, kindred, nations and tongues. My Bible glowed with a brilliant light and grew to the size of a mountain. The Bible changed to the two tablets and I heard God say to me: "Keep the message simple. Tell them about My Law."

Praise Report From Paul - (May 3, 2007)
I ask for prayer a while back for Paul as he was having health problems. Just got a report back from him. The doctors took a bio-psi of his liver because they thought it was cancerous and didn't find anything so they took a bigger bio-psi still no cancer, so PRAISE GOD and thank you all for your prayers.

Thanks - (May 1, 2007)

God Saved My Life - (April 20, 2007)
On June 17th 2006 I retired from the work force. On the 19th of June, I could have died from a fall off a ladder. I was going down towards a cement step. My back and head was going to hit the cement first. I said "God, please don't let me land on my back". I opened my eyes and I was rotating to an upright position and hit the ground on my two feet. I did spend 24 hrs in the hospital. God does answer you and keeps you safe. It is a total miracle that I am alive. Mel Smith

My Son - (April 19, 2007)
Thank you, my prayers have been answered my son is now working. He is happy. I know I have prayed for other things but as we know God does everything at his own time.

My Journey Living With Hiv - (April 10, 2007)
I may never remember the exact details or the specifics of that day but I can still feel and remember every heartbeat and every breath so clearly, as if I was back in that small tiny office with tattered sofas. That very moment when he put the brown envelope in my hands, I could almost feel my heart beating faster and louder. This was going to be the turning point of my entire life and the rest of my future lay in the content of a small brown envelope. I always ask myself how my life would have turned out had those results said otherwise but I guess I’ll never know the answer to that question, the only answer I did have was that I was HIV positive and there was nothing anyone in this whole world could do to change that. I honestly do not remember anything that happened after I read those results; all I remember was getting in the taxi and going home. Everything after that, I only remember in bits and peaces. The shock was so deep that it did not allow me to cry instead it made me numb. I never thought I would ever get used to the idea of having this disease living inside me for the rest of my life nor did I ever imagine that one day I would be writing this and telling people how the experience has changed my life for the better. If I could, I would go over all the details that led to those results but I have somehow convinced myself that the when and where is not as important as the actual happening. Who gave it to me and when I got it, really did not matter because I realized that dwelling on things I could not change was affecting my progress in changing the things that I could change. Believe me, I spent sleepless night trying to figure out the why’s, when’s and who’s and all that it did was leave me with hate for who’s, regrets for the when’s and depression for the why’s. It was a long bumpy ride to get to where I am today, at times I cry when I think about the ride, but God saw me through and brought me to the point where I was able to forgive myself for my past mistakes and to a point where I learned to appreciate my life and being a beloved child of God. You see, going through each and every detail of my experience living with HIV for the past 3 years is not nearly as exciting as the details on how I got through it, even though I am still living with it; I now see it in a different perspective than I did the day I found out I had it. I was baptized into the Seventh Day Adventist church on the 10th March of this year and giving my life, surrendering and humbling myself before God was the greatest gift I could have ever given myself. HE reminded me that I needed not to be afraid of what is to come because through HIM I am saved. HE would never forsake nor neglect me when I need HIM. Accepting God into my life was excepting new life, a life free of sickness and pain, a life free of worry and anxiety. Through my faith, I have found peace, through my faith I have found hope. Because I believe in God’s miracles, HE has promised me eternal life. Because I believe, HE has given me everlasting happiness. I fear nothing of what the world throws at my direction because I know I have the Lord’s protection on my side. I will however, not claim to be at total peace with what I have; after all I am still human. Had I a choice, I would have chosen not to have this disease because I too; want to be a mother one day without worrying about how my health will be affected. However, even when that thought crosses my mind, God will once again intervene and ask me if I do not believe that HE could give me that chance. I have so much faith in God and his abilities I honestly do believe that anything is possible. Is HE not the same God who created the heaven and earth? Is he not the same God who walked on water and brought Lazarus to life? I always ask., why then do I question his power to heal me completely, On the up side, if those results had turned out negative, I would have never come to know God the way I do now. I would have not had the opportunity to let people know of HIS Greatness had I not gone through this experience. Because of this disease, I am stronger than I have ever been in my life, I see beyond yesterday and today. I see a future worth looking forward to. And as I always say if Satan has plans to test me and to try to bring me down then let him try. The peace that I have found through God by far supersedes anything and everything Satan has to offer me. Even if there could be a cure for the virus, he might as well keep it because I would rather be sick and closer to God than be cured and have the devil possess my soul.

Job/Green Card - (April 1, 2007)
I want to thank God for answering my prayers and the prayers you made on behalf about my green card and my work schedule to get my 8-5pm schedule back. My manager knows that I am in school at night and I have a part time job that I go to for me to take care of my sister and relatives who are sick back at home with HIV. She also knows that I am a seventh day Adventist and I do not work after sunset on Fridays. Then she gave me a schedule of 11am-8pm that I have never worked for the 2 years that I have been with the company and she gave my schedule to new people who just got hired. So I told the devil that he is a liar and I claimed my schedule back in the name of Jesus because I am still in school and I doing good I have A's in all my classes and I was not going to drop a month before the semester is over because of this new schedule. So I even registered for summer school and I said Faith is the substance of things hoped for then evidence of things not seen and I started thanking God for giving me my schedule back and even promoting me to a better job and move me away from the department with this manager. And God answered our prayers in advance. And also I received a letter from immigration that I am eligible to get my residence and green card and that's another answered prayer so my green card is in the mail. Thank you Prisca.....sweetylavhoo4@yahoo.com

Answered Prayer Request - (March 19, 2007)
I thank and praise God most of all for the answered prayer, concerning the request I asked for my sister-in-law's heart operation in Australia last 13th of March. Thanks for the prayer warrior team. I believe that there is always power in prayer. The Family was very happy of the result of the operation and they realize how the love and concern of God and His people no matter whom they are. My in-laws are non Adventist and they feel that Adventist people are really close to God and that our God never fails anyone I praise the Lord for that and I hope one day they will be able to find a way to know more about our Lord especially my husband who is not an Adventist. Again thanks for everything. All my prayer to all of you and may God bless your work forever so that His coming will be here soon. God bless...Ennie

Miracle in My Life - (March 19, 2007)
Today is my first day requesting prayer from you. I am a strong believer in miracle through prayer. I have been through many obstacles in life but God has always been there. I am 41 yrs old. I like to share an experience with you all. This gives me a great privilege. Couple yrs ago I started to have problems at my work because I used to fall asleep behind my Computer board. I am a Telephone Operator. My co-workers, supervisors discriminated me cause of my weight, laugh, made fun of me. They made me cry so many times. I did not know what was happening to me but I even started to gain weight. I went from 130 to 368lbs. Going through this all I did was pray and asked God to do something. One day as I did my appraisal for my work with my supervisor and a senior person of my dept. They told me it’s their words against mine. There’s nothing I could do and they don't need anyone like me on board. So no matter what I did and they will see to it that I’m fired. I have a very good file and they know it. They looked me in the eyes and said laughing not even that will help you. I just walked off in tears. I said "God if this is what you want you know best. Teach me to go forward" About 2 wks. Later, the manager came in and I was called in for a meeting, with my supervisor, the senior and manager. The manager started "Leticia we Manager, board of directors and union members have come to a decision on your case. We looked over your files and seeing you have been with the company for 14yrs and have never been in problem, rude or gossip or better said not trouble. We held a meeting and upon talking to different people who spoke so good about you and saying that no matter how people talk about you and hurt you. You still help them and are there when they need you. We have decided to help you and give you 6mths to check with a Doctor to see what is wrong. Not to worry you will still be paid during this period. Not necessary for you to work just deal with your health problem. My supervisor and senior just looked at me. I just cried and said Thank you God have sent His angels to help me." I always believed angels were in heaven but this made me believe that angels are on earth. I went to check with the doctors and many turned me down because they said I was too fat. I need to stop eating so much; I knew this was not true. My husband put a great deal of interest in me and stood by me giving me strength. I met my husband about a year before I was going to be fired. He was unemployed but with the love and attention he gave me. Made me realize that material things meant nothing. I have only one child who is 21 was then in his last year of high school, my dad was getting a surgery at that same time so had no one to tell. So I kept this to myself Oni and I continued looking for a doctor. It took me 3mths till finally a Doctor accepted my case and after talking to us he said Lety you need to seek help abroad or you have only 3mths to live. There is no help here in Belize for you. I started to cry because where will I get the finance to do this. Anyway did not give up. I asked God “What do you want from me." The doctor helped made contact for me in Miami "Jackson Memorial” but now I did not have visa to travel. So I took $400.00 and went to the bank to pay for visa for myself and Oni (common law husband) I said aloud he laugh now God you do the rest, what happens it’s up to you. Eventually a lady from the hospital called me from Miami's hospital she was so nice to me as if she knew me forever. I explained to her my situation even about the visa and that yes my insurance from my work is helping and has already booked a flight but I have no visa. My flight was booked for a Wednesday and this was Friday. Anyway, I just kept on saying God you work now. I laugh when my husband said "You are putting God through hell” I said no, no if I’m to go he'll open the way. Well, he did we got our visa Tuesday evening and we fly on Wednesday. My Miami experience arrangements was that I stay with my cousin. I did not have much money. To be honest I had only $4500.00us. When we got to Miami my cousin just dumped us in a hotel not far from the Hospital. After that day not to be seen again. My husband and I were lost cause was the first time in the U.S.A. But we got around. We were getting discouraged especially after we were given a list of test and seminars to do because they referred me to do Gastric by pass surgery for obese people. I was diagnosed with severe sleep daphnia. Everything else was good no diabetes, pressure normal etc. the sleep test doctor gave me a very sad news that surgery cannot be done cause I'll need to sleep with a cpap machine to help oxygen into my body, this will be for 2mths the least. I told her I'm not from Miami and can't afford to just fly. Any way we went to the hotel and talk. I called back home and told them I'm coming back home the following day because I was low on cash and wont be able to afford hotel and medical exp. My aunt called my cousin in Miami and spoke to her. Staying at her home was one of the worst experiences we have ever had but we came through. One day for and appointment the doctor said "Lety we see the interest in you to get help so we have decided to do surgery on you but there is no guarantee out or you can go back home and live for at least 3mths. " Know what I did turn to her and said "You know what God has brought me so far and if I turn back I can't say I tried now it's my turn. If God wants me home let it be on the surgery table, let him decide." I did my surgery and was out after 6 long hours not for me but my mom and husband who were waiting out side. When they saw the male nurse came out and said everything went great. I saw the doctor the following day. She hugs me and said "You are my miracle patient, your faith is big." She walked away. The beauty after my surgery was that one day I realize that I'm back, I need to love those that have hurt me no matter what." This helped me so much. I'm 3yrs out of surgery back at work and still working on my weight. I'm 190lbs now. I'm still helping and being good to people. Thank God some co-workers would ask me "how can you still be nice and helpful to people that have hurt you and made you suffer and cry?" I just smile and said "God knows best." Now I have asked for prayer for my son. I teach my son to pray. We were grown in believing that a family who prays together stays together and also that everything is prayer for us. Now my now husband also learned to believe in God and Miracles. My mom and Dad grew this way. Glad to share my experience with you. Sorry it was so long but I had to share. the lesson I learn was we need to trust God with all our might and leave it to him, he knows when to do things.and he is there always by your side no matter what. Love always and God bless Leticia Cuellar Belize City

Prayer Saved My Life - (March 19, 2007)
July 10, 2006 I returned home from church after spending the entire day worshiping. I was not ill never diagnosed with high blood pressure. Fell ill that night lost all consciousness, heart stopped beating, no pulse, was rushed to the hospital, after several weeks of intense pain it was discovered that I has a ruptured brain aneurysm. They did surgery 1 month after and today I am alive and well, doing the Lord's work. It's a very long story I would love to share in its entirety.

Praise God for Hispanic 3abn Witness - (March 9, 2007)
My wife and I are AFCOE graduates and have been Bible workers in SE Colorado for the past 8 months. One of our many interests has been a Hispanic family: Jose & Esther Velez. Esther has watched 26 lectures from Stephen Bohr's Genesis series in Spanish. She speaks very broken English and it is not easy for us to communicate. Two weeks ago, we installed a 3ABN satellite dish system. Jose says with a smile that she has not cooked supper for him since. Tonight Esther shared that she accepts every thing that she has seen and asked if we had a Spanish pastor. She also said she would like to join our church. Praise God and the wonderful media resources we have available. Do you have suggestions for a way in which we can connect her with a Spanish-speaking pastor? We will be leaving CO to return to our home in Tennessee and we are anxious to seal Esther's decisions. Linden Lawrence

God Hear My Voice - (March 7, 2007)
I thank Lord for what he has done during this time. I prayed asking for success in my study and today I had a test it was so easy and I praise the lord cause God was with me and I think he will do always the same.

Finding Out the Truth About the Sabbath - (March 5, 2007)
It was a Sunday morning this past December, that I discovered the truth about the Sabbath. I had received a complimentary copy of the book, "Ten Commandments Twice Removed,” many months before I actually was compelled to pick-up the book and read it. I have listened to Dr. Charles Stanley In-Touch Sermon, as I normally do and my son was playing around some boxes I had laying around in my bedroom. He was curious and looking around all the mounds of papers, I had in my storage boxes. I walked by and saw the book of the "Ten Commandments Twice Removed and felt compelled to pick it up and began reading one of the chapters in the middle of the book, which discussed the issue of the Sabbath and what day of the week it really is supposed to be practiced. Five minutes into reading, I put the book down, asked my son to grab me the calendar. I asked to point out to me what the first day of the week on the calendar is and he pointed to Sunday. I asked him to count out each day and asked him what is the seventh day and his finger rested on Saturday. I sat there with my mouth wide open and in complete shock. Here I was trying to do my best to walk right with the Lord and attending church each Sunday, in addition to following his commandments, praying and reading the bible. It never knew until that day that the true Sabbath was on Saturday and not Sunday. As I continued to read this book, I felt compelled by the Holy Spirit in both my heart and mind that what I had learned is the truth. I tried to share this good news with my fellow Christian friends but I was accused of being legalistic. I don't always go to church on the true Sabbath but I do observe it.

God Has Done It Again - (February 26, 2007)
Dear prayer warriors, thank you for offering prayer on the behalf of Oswald who lost his job some time ago. He now has a permanent job. Thanks be to God. He has done it again. God is so good.

Answered Prayer Request - (February 25, 2007)
I want to give Glory and Honor to our Good Lord Jesus who has blessed my big sister to have a placing in Teaching Career. I have put in a pray request early January for 3abn pray warriors to help pray with us for a position in Teaching. And Praise God she received her answer on Feb 23, 2007 that she will be teaching in a very nice environment and location, it is a Mission School and they have provided a ticket for her to travel this coming Wednesday. Thank you to all who have prayed for her God is so Good and all Glory back to Jesus. Amen Priscilla

Health - (February 21, 2007)
I have been having abdominal discomfort since November, was put through MRI and CT Scans with everything coming back normal. Well I knew that was not normal, so after I asked my fellow co-workers for prayer here at 3ABN, I was asked to go for a colonoscopy, which I did and a small polyp was removed. To date, I have not experienced any pain. I don't really believe that was the problem, I really believe prayer and the Lord's will to heal my body is what happened, so I'm praising the Lord for praying friends.

Por La Gracia de Dios Estoy Con Vida!! - (February 18, 2007)
Hello I’m from Honduras, I’m 26 years old. I was baptized when I was 10 years old. I grew up in an Adventist environment. My parents were very active members from church. 1998 hurricane Mitch destroyed 95% of Mangrove bight Guiana houses. I had to move to another place to finish my high school. After a year, I continued to assist every Saturday at church but little by little, I started to make bad choices, I started to do bad things and many other things, I was doing the opposite of what I know it was correct. I met a girl and we have almost three years of being together. She is catholic but she always mentioned to me why I don’t go to church? I always said maybe one day. I think that God was trying to communicate something to me through her. Little by little, I stopped doing my bad habits, until one day one of my friends where I work asked for help, he wanted me to pick some money from a place this money was to send from USA. The thing is that this person has disappeared and the people who sent the money thinks that I am involve with this person disappearance. They have been threatening me for a couple months ago. They want me to pay their money back because I was the one who picked the money from that place. I was desperate the first weeks and one Friday night, I couldn’t sleep and I turned the TV on and for my surprised a pastor was preaching in that precise moment and he said “No matter how many problems you have, God loves you and he is the only one who can help you” in that moment I started to pray and I asked God for support. The next Saturday I was getting ready for work but I ended up at church. I have being attending the church for almost two months and a half and the people who are asking me for the money they gave only until February 15 to pay them. I trust in God and only in him. Every day, I ask God to touch these people’s heart so they can see that I didn’t steal the money. I attend to church every Saturday and some of my coworkers and girlfriend go to the church with me. I ask for your prays for me and my family. Thank you

In Sickness and in Health - (February 17, 2007)
In the garden of Eden God took a rib from the first man and made the first woman, creating an unchangeable bond. Then God married this man and woman again binding them together forever. When I married my husband I remember a part of the wedding vows that said, ' ... in sickness and in health...’ Little did I know that one day the state of his health would depend on me and how serious I was about my marriage vows. Almost ten years after we were married my husband was diagnosed with a kidney disease for which there was no cure. Approximately one year after his diagnosis his kidneys failed in such a way that it was necessary for him to go on dialysis. After a year and a half on dialysis he was finally ready to accept my offer to give him a kidney. Normally a family member, usually a sibling, is the best match and donates an organ. My husband’s six siblings were either in bad health themselves or not willing to offer a kidney because of fear. In June of 2006 I made a phone call that started the process. In July, I was told that I was a match for my husband and in mid-September I passed a medical evaluation that would allow me to become a kidney donor. On October 17, 2006 I gave my husband my left kidney, a gift that would again bind us together. Through it all, fear never crossed my mind for I believed that like God put Esther in a place where He could use her to save her people; He had put me with this man so that He could one day use me to save his life. God gave His only Son to save me; the least I could do was give one of the kidneys He gave me to save one of His children. I am sure that if He wanted to, God could have healed my husband’s kidneys. Instead He created in us a bond that is nothing less than incredible. There is so much more that I could say, but not enough time. Maybe God will allow me to write a book so I can tell the whole world how good He is. All I know is that God has truly blessed me and my family and I want to tell the whole world.

Thankyou To the 3abn Television - (February 16, 2007)
I recently connected 3ABN television and have grown to daily seek the truth and cannot help but notice the contrast between Sabbath and non Sabbath keeping people l am now watching a man covered in tattoos and I agree 100% with him in regards to can't get enough of the truth thank you 3ABN for the truth the world will see. Kindest Regards Gordon (Macca) Port Macquarie N.S.W. Australia.

Answered Prayer - (February 12, 2007)
I read all the testimonies and decided mine is not huge but want to share an answered prayer today {small.} I remember God is in everything and cares about us in all aspects of our life and this is large to me. I care for my 103 1/2 year mom; she can't get out anymore and needs a haircut and perm. .I have been asking people and praying about this-- seems few want to come to your home. She has aides that help me and they were asking around too. Therefore, I really put it to prayer and God with a special request this a.m. her shower girl came. I commented about her hair and how I prayed--her face lit up and she said I read our free paper and there was an ad in there for anyone who needed hair care at home for shut-ins. Well, she has been recently baptized in another church but I have been praying for God to help me witness to her, and this is the second time in 2 weeks. We are having an amazing facts prophecy series here and I tried to get her to go. I have also been taking her all the lessons and she has been asking many questions that she can't find in her church from her pastor. Just last week, I ask God to help me answer her about the state of the dead and He brought it out the next morning. When she asked me about it, I had just been refreshed the night before at the seminar meeting. God is so good and wants His children to know His word. I am so thankful God is in my life and I want everyone to know He cares about all your life. So pray always, giving it to Him. Thank you there at 3ABN. You have helped me in my life and many see it in my home. Sister in Christ, Ida Rose Bierman

Gods Grace for A Brokenhearted Mother - (February 12, 2007)
This month 2/18/2007 will make 4 years since the death of my daughter (Renee died 2/18/2003)28 years old, survived by 3 children, whom I am with God and my husbands help am raising. Before her death, I heard of 3abn from church friends and thought how I would really love to have it, but at that time I really didn't pursue trying to get it and also really didn't have the money for the satellite dish, at that present time. A year later my daughter was killed unexpectedly in an auto accident. A most lonely and unbearable time for my family and myself. A friend from my grandchildren’s Adventist school went to a camp meeting in Maryland, where Danny Shelton was attending, don’t know of all the specifics, but was later told by my friend that he told Danny about my loss. Now my Father in Heaven knew when the right time was to BLESS me with 3abn .Even though my heart will always ache for my daughter until the day of the LORDS returning, 3abn in my home is like GODS special way of saying to me I'm so sorry my child. You have experienced the suffering as I have in losing an only child, but I am with you always even until the end of time. GOD is keeping me in good company and 3abn uplifts me so much. The lord wants us to constantly stay focused on him, and when we do, we will have PEACE that only HE can give us. GOD is so good .3ABN is a LOVE GIFT FROM MY FATHER IN HEAVEN!! THANK YOU GOD AND THANK YOU 3ABN IN HIS SERVICE AND LOVE, MARY RIVERA

Praise and Thanksgiving - (February 10, 2007)
In November of 2006, I requested prayer for healing. I was experiencing many symptoms, which did not have a diagnosis. While I had systemic lupus, I assumed that my variety of symptoms was caused by this underlying disease. I was in tremendous pain - especially in my feet, hands, and fingers as well as the rest of my body. I could not function at work and could only stay up for two hours at a time. My blood pressure skyrocketed and my kidneys began to malfunction. When I went to the usual specialists, most of my test results came back as within the normal range with a few exceptions -- a vitamin D deficiency --. However, the symptoms continued and I could not get out of bed for more than two hours. Finally, in January, after much prayer by your prayer team and staff doctors began to fit the pieces of the puzzle together. My neurological symptoms might have been caused by a medication that had been prescribed for the systemic lupus and a recent test showed that an artery leading to my kidney has been blocked. Now I will be scheduled for surgery to remove the blockage, which should improve the overall kidney function, reduce the blood pressure and increase overall healing. I have been blessed by the prayers of others. I could not express how important your team has been to my healing. God has worked through them for his Glory. He continues to heal. Without you and your team, I am so aware that I could have died at any moment with the blockage because I would have gone into acute renal failure. Right now, I am resting in God's Love and care, knowing that he answers prayer of the faithful. There is no doubt in my mind that my adversary was attempting to end my life and that God intervened through your prayers. I am eternally thankful for your ministry. Thank you.

Answered Prayers - (February 8, 2007)
Last year I was diagnosed with breast cancer and had a mastectomy. I sent in a prayer request to you as I had made friends with an Adventist couple and found their friendship both inspiration and encouraging. As they say, as God is my witness and his son, Jesus helps us to talk to His father, my prayers have been answered. I am still going through treatment and have people constantly ask how I am, which surprises me, very encouraging also. Before this illness, I felt alone, that I had next to no friends. The great thing to come from my cancer is the fact that I do have people who care about my health and me and they are concerned for me. Have always had the attitude that it would be no use to sit and cry poor old me I have cancer. My faith has also grown, along with my confidence, in LEAPS AND BOUNDS since this started. I sincerely thank all of the people out there who care enough to pray for people in need and that GOD and JESUS CHRIST are always here for us if we only call on them for help. Yours, Margaret.

Deliverance - (February 1, 2007)
I had trouble sleeping the other night and had a bad dream about these dark figures trying to hurt me and choke me...One was all dark except for it "teeth?" Anyway I was trying to call on Jesus and these things were trying to prevent me by covering my mouth, but all I was able to do was barely whisper Jesus once or twice and I awoke and rebuked the devil in the name of Jesus...I have been trying to increase my prayer time and study time with Jesus and be more available to Him...Thanks

Thank You - (January 31, 2007)
At the beginning of January I asked you to pray for me to pass my driving test. I went for my test on the 26th but unfortunately I did not do well. I am thankful to God for giving me the oppportunity to go through this - it was not easy but I believe that God was with me. I think I had one of the simplest test anyone has ever had. God makes things beautiful in his time and this time was not it. I am also thankful to everyone who prayed for me. All I can say is please keep praying as I will be planning to go back again soon. Your prayers are all appreciated and I know that God will always answer our prayers and He did for me and I am soo thankful to have a God who is always there for me no matter the outcome. Let us keep praying for others as well. My faith was strengthened by this experience - I tell you God is faithful so we aught to do the same. God bless you all.

Praise for Healing - (January 30, 2007)
Thanks be to God for His goodness and mercy. It was requested that the warriors blend their prayers with ours for the healing of our school teacher who was in an auto accident. Her recovery is not complete, but she is so far ahead of the doctors estimates of recovery time, they cannot explain it. There is more to go, but we have faith and believe the Lord takes care of His own. Please continue your prayers for complete healing with our prayers and may the Praise be to God. William, a prayer warrior

Answered Prayer - (January 20, 2007)
A while back, I requested prayer for Tammi, Brenda and Dean. Specifically concerned with Brenda that she would be strong and not see her Dad as this was not safe and she would not have to go to court as he was trying to force her to see him. This is a control issue. Praise be to GOD and thank you for the prayers of God’s prayer warriors. She is standing strong and her brother is now requesting to stay home and go to church twice a month rather than go to his Dad's Friday and then not be allowed to attend church. What an awesome GOD we serve. Please continue to pray for this family, as it is an on going problem. Pray for Warren, the Dad, he truly needs deliverance. Thank you again and may GOD continue to bless you.

We Serve An Awesome God - (January 19, 2007)
We serve a Mighty God and I tell you he is awesome. I can never really know where to start but you know I just want to praise him; I thank him for life, for my family and for Jesus who died for our sins on the cross on Calvary. He is Jehovahjireh, the Lion of Judea, our Redeemer, Savior, and I just want to say I love him so much. I want to thank him for what he is doing in our family, we are seeking a deeper walk with him and he has opened doors we never imagined possibly. He has led us to the beautiful country setting, to enjoy nature and to learn how to be a true Christian, most of us claim we are Christians but the question is do we walk the talk? Therefore, he is doing what he promised. I just want to thank him and say I love him so much, let’s keep on praising him and serving him Blessed, Canada

Praises - (January 16, 2007)
I emailed a prayer request for a friend of mine to find a job etc. and God is faithful. My friend was taken in by a couple at our church. While there, the Lord led him to a job in which he can glorify God. He is also in the country which has proved to be a great blessing for him. He only has to drive approximately 10 minutes to his job and some months ago a vehicle was given to him. God is soooooo good. My friend is also a single father and has had in the past difficulties in finding proper childcare which is not expensive for his child. The Lord has blessed in allowing me to home school her while we both do literature evangelism.

Ask and It Shall Be Given........ - (January 12, 2007)
Have a nice year everyone. My name is Rose Basalan. I am an English Teacher Missionary here in Korea. I am trained in Philippines at 1000 Missionary Movement. I have stayed here for three months now and I've experienced many answered prayers. Staying in a foreign country is not easy, especially when you are a missionary. Church members are expecting a lot from you. In order for them not to be disappointed, you have to meet their expectations in which I found it quiet hard. My church assigned me to give a sermon every Friday evening and once a month in the Divine Worship. I consider this privilege a very wonderful one, since not all missionaries here are given such privilege. It was on the third day of November that I was surfing a sermon on the internet. I chose one of the best sermons in Amazing Facts and I must admit that excellent in understanding the whole sermon. My knowledge is not enough, and at that time, I was mentally blocked. I can't figure out the sermon. It was 12 midnight when I study the sermon. While reading, I heard a still small voice saying, "You pray. You ask wisdom from God.” Then I read my Bible and claim one of God's promises, and I prayed and... oh! Immediately, lots of ideas came out. Not just ordinary ideas but such magnificent ideas. I started to write my sermon and I was able to finish it on that night. I gave the sermon on the night of November 4th during Vesper's program. I am so happy because I have met one of their expectations. They were pleased ny my sermon. I know that it was the Holy Spirit who spoke before them. I am just used as an instrument. As of these days, my Bible, Jesus and the Holy Spirit are my BEST FRIENDS and it will be forever. Jeremiah 33:3 "Call Unto me and I will answer Thee and I will Show Thee great and Mighty things which Thou Knowest Not.” This is one of my favorite texts in the Bible. To all missionaries in the world, PRAYER IS THE KEY TO A SUCCESSFUL MISSION! Keep looking up for God is there, ready to embrace us anytime we call Him. Remember our motto: PRAY MORE! READ MUCH! SERVE ONE ANOTHER! Once a Missionary! Always a Missionary!

Answered Prayer Request - (December 30, 2006)
I requested prayer for a mammogram which was negative--thank you for praying for me .

A New Thing - (December 28, 2006)
I want to thank the Lord, for He has been a great and mighty God towards me. For there is no God like the I AM, not under the earth or above the heavens that is like unto the God of Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, and Me. God has worked in a mighty way in my life, I may not know all the details and I may not know much, but I know that there is a God who sits high and looks down low upon His children. I find strength in the book of Isaiah 43:18,19 "Remember ye not the former things, neither consider the things of old. Behold, I will do a new thing...

Jesus Is Real in Spirit - (December 10, 2006)
After 47 years of being fooled by the world, I discovered that everything I wanted was in God's storehouse. Now I am receiving everything. When we fail to follow his ways, we also fail to receive godly power. I am so very happy with life but, sad to know that I wasted so many years in poverty, unhappiness, not being loved, having good health, wealth and the surety of living in heaven some day, I cant wait to meet Jesus.

God Had A Plan for Me - (December 2, 2006)
I was always a believer in God, but never had a personal relationship with him as a child or youth. I was a very worldly teenager, I drank and smoked, attended parties and never listened to my parents .When I was twenty years old I was married and had two children. I began attending church with my parents and was baptized, but fell away after my first marriage dissolved. When I remarried at the age of 30 and had one more child I began to feel empty and depressed. I felt there was a better life somewhere. I was asked to attend a camp meeting and I agreed. I listened to a pastor while I was there talk about a personal relationship with Jesus, it touched my heart and I began to spend time in his word and became better acquainted with him. I came home a different person. However, God still had many things to take out of my life that were not good for me (selfishness, controlling behavior.) I began praying to God to take things out of my life that he did not want for me. I began reading the New Testament from cover to cover learning more about Jesus and his life on this earth. I was re-baptized 6 years ago and my life has changed so much. My older children tell me I seem at peace now and not angry. My husband is not a Seventh Day Adventist and this is very challenging, but I pray for him daily that the Holy Spirit will draw him to Jesus. I help teach Sabbath school and Vegetarian cooking classes at our local church. I know that God is not finished with me yet and I have along way to go, but it is his love and daily encouragement that keeps me strong. I watch 3ABN almost every day, and know that God loves me and is always here for me .I am so excited that he is coming back for us and we will be able to spend eternity with him and all who love him! Thank-you 3ABN for spreading the Word of the gospel!

God Answers Prayer - (November 29, 2006)
A few months ago, I requested that the prayer warriors pray for my brother Emmanuel and my sister Prisca who were both very ill. I want to praise God for all your prayers and I want to thank you too for prayers for my brother and sister. I come back to you with the news that they have both made remarkable recovery so much that my brother has even gone back to work and there's more, he has stopped drinking alcohol, stopped smoking, and has instead welcomed Christ into his life. He never stops talking of what the master has done for him and he is always praising God and thanking God for saving him and for giving him the chance to tell others of the love of God. My sister too, is doing very fine and she is now well enough as well to go back to work so she is looking for a job and she has gotten closer to God as well. She also testifies that she's still alive because of God's wondrous grace. So my brothers and sisters, keep those prayers flowing because there is indeed, power in united prayer.

Last Day News - (November 20, 2006)
Dear Pastors I just returned from the grocery store. The Sun, one of the newspapers at the checkout counter has a headline that says Nostradamus says that we're "in the last days". This is a good way to start a conversation in the store. Isn’t it nice of him to agree with what is true.. Praise God! I pray that will make my family and others think twice. Betty

Miracles - (November 18, 2006)
I sent in a prayer request on behalf of my son for complete healing. Praise and Thanks to God that within the space of a week, he has performed many miracles for him. God is the greatest physician and He makes no mistakes. We just need to trust Him. We give all glory and honor to our Miracle Working God!

Praise - (November 17, 2006)
I recently requested prayer for the sale of my mothers home.This was an older manufactured home. Two days ago, I listed the home with the real estate. Today is Thursday and I had the opportunity this morning to speak with my sons mother in-law, she lives in Alabama. She has been in Alabama about 4 months now and wants to come back to Oregon. In the course of the conversation she shared with me how when she had her devotion/prayer time this morning, the Lord put it upon her heart that she should buy my mothers manufactured home, stating that she was impressed upon that this would be a good home for her. We both, at that time decided to go and have prayer about the price and all, which we did. I then called her back, we were able to work it out rather quickly, and she is sending a check tomorrow. She had had the opportunity to stay in the home for a couple of months before going to Alabama and really liked it and the location. So it got sold before it got listed. To God be the glory for all his might and wonderful workings. In all these things I have learned that all things, big or small or all for a reason and part of the Masters plan. Thank all of you prayer warriors for you prayers. God really does love us all. As the Bible says acknowledge the Lord in all they ways and He will direct your path.

Appreciation for Danny Shelton - (November 16, 2006)
Dear Danny: Several years ago, I read the nine volumes of Ellen G. White books. A year ago, I read them again and found a quotation in Volume 5 that fits your incredible story. The book "Mending Broken People" is indeed inspiring. Danny, God used you mightily because you had faith and immediately acted on your faith. Here is the quotation that describes you perfectly. "The Lord has shown me that men in responsible positions are standing directly in the way of His work because they think the work must be done and the blessing must come in a certain way, and they will not recognize that which comes in any other way. My brethren may the Lord place this matter before you as it is. God does not work as men plan, or as they wish; He "moves in a mysterious way His wonders to perform.” Why reject the Lord's methods of working, because they do not coincide with our ideas: God has His appointed channels of light, but these are not necessarily the minds of any particular set of men. When all shall take their appointed place in God's work, earnestly seeking wisdom and guidance from Him, then a great advance will have been made toward letting light shine upon the world. When men shall cease to place themselves in the way, God will work among us as never before.5T, page 726. May God richly bless you and may you have hundreds of stars in your crown. Latifa Jabbour

Computer Problem Solved - (November 12, 2006)
I am a new Prayer Warrior. I bought a new laptop last year and not long ago it crashed to the floor, and the screen started going black, so I put it back in its case for a few weeks. Then I watched the 3ABN program about prayer warriors. Since I have been on the team it has been working perfectly. God is keeping it going so I can send all the prayers for my friends at church Isn't He a gorgeous God.!! God Bless Julie Brown

The Power of Prayer - (November 10, 2006)
I requested prayer a few weeks ago because I was preparing to take my certification exam to become a Nurse Practitioner. I am happy to report that I passed my exam, and praise God I am now a Nurse Practitioner! God also answered my prayer for a position with a reputable company that I desired employment with. I will begin my new position on 11/27. God has been so good to me throughout my life, He is so faithful, loving, kind , gracious and most of all MERCIFUL! I thank God and I praise him for His loving kindness towards me, and for continuing to bless me even though I don't deserve it.

God Answers Prayers - (October 30, 2006)
I am a Malawian but currently staying in the United Kingdom together with my husband and our two lovely children Zaithwa and Nthandose who are just a month old now. I have seen God working in this year of 2006. My husband was nominated for a Commonwealth Scholarship towards the end of last year. We had been praying for it separately. By that time, I was pregnant and we had asked God for a girl. At the office where I was working, I used to have frustrations, depressions and all that. I had forgotten that at one point in time I had prayed to God that he should keep me in that office for at least 10 years not more than that. It was just after I gave delivery to a baby girl on 7th March, 2006 when my husband had received a letter notifying him that he had been selected for the Scholarship. When I got out of the hospital, I realized that the 10 years that I had asked God to give me in that office were indeed given to me. In short, God answered our 3 prayers at the same time. We really saw God's blessings upon us and that we praise him for his wonderful love he has for us.

God in all of His graciousness has gotten the job done as usual and my father's home was sold last Friday (10-19-06) My second request was concerning my sister and brother cooperating and signing legal papers so we would be able to receive monies from my mother’s estate. So far my brother is very agreeable. Praise God. Please keep the prayers going up

My Comitment To Saving of Souls Every Day - (October 22, 2006)
I must say every since I came in contact with Jesus and with the staff of 3abn.org and working as a part of the prayer team I have found joy in Jesus. I have been doing audiocassette, CD’s, VHS, DVD’s, BOOKS (TEN COMMANDMENTS TWICE REMOVED, Steps to Christ on a daily bases now. I am asking you to pray that I be able to have God’s help get more material, such as a CD writer and more cassettes, so I am able to reach the others. Presently I am working with a minister of other Sunday churches and they have been thankful for the books.

God Will Take Care of You - (October 19, 2006)
I was recently baptize in the seventh day Adventist church in may of this year after learning about the true Sabbath, Thanks to some friend of the Oak Glades Seventh day Adventist Church in Kingston, Jamaica. I was fired from my job right after I was converted. I was unemployed for three months, I sent out resumes went on interviews, but there were lot of disappointment, when I told the interviewer that I am an Adventist, I continue to trust the Lord of the Sabbath. One Wednesday I was listening to Walter Pearson and his message was on dry bones the scripture was taken from Ezekiel 37 he said God can step into any situation and turn it around and I believe it when he said so. In closing he said he wanted to pray for someone so I stood up rest my hand on the television and something supernatural happened that week, the Friday I was at home I got a call to come in on Monday to start work. I just want Mr. Pearson to know that his message was very powerful and it touches my heart I just want to tell him thanks, please give him my email address. Thank you 3abn for you always make my day. Keep up the good work and thank Mr. Pearson for me

Vegan Vegetarian - (October 16, 2006)
My lifestyle was changed because of the 3ABN. .I’m now a total vegan Vegetarian. It wasn't hard for me at all when I changed my diet because the Lord blessed me and answered my prayer. He sent 3ABN to help me change my lifestyle. Thanks to all the doctors and health educators for teaching and sharing with us about health. Now no more headaches and back pain for almost a year, and I lost some weight too. Thank you 3ABN, you are such a blessing to all people in the whole world. God Bless you!

Dorcus Shares A Testimony - (October 11, 2006)

Secondly she recently witnessed someone join her local Church as a result of the amazing prophesies series. Glory& honor be given to our Saviour for What He is accomplishing through 3ABN!

My Wrong Was Forgiven - (October 4, 2006)
I had recently done the one thing that I promised myself I wouldn't. I committed adultery. The reason for it was complete foolishness. I came back the next day, told my wife and to my surprise...she forgave me right there on the spot. Seconds after confessing my sin to her, I felt God's loving hand upon my shoulder and He said: "Lean not unto your own understanding, trust in Me and I will forgive you and love you always Son" Thank God we have such a loving and merciful and forgiving God...PRAISE GOD!

The Touch of the Great Physician - (September 27, 2006)
This is a follow up of the previous testimony I sent about our dear baby Reich David Fuentes who underwent that open-heart surgery last august. He has finally been released from the Phil. Heart Center after a month of hospitalization. Now he is now in vibrant health - feeds a lot, cries a lot, sleeps a lot and smiles a lot too. That ashen color he used to have is now replaced with a pink-pink color. He is really a testimony to the power of prayer and holy anointing. Before he was taken to Manila for the surgery, my son took him to church on a Monday morning and dedicated him to the Lord and after that; the elders and the pastor did the anointing. It worked. Just like my father. Five years ago, he was diagnosed to have advanced cancer of the prostate. Bone scan revealed metastasis to the rib and the spine. Today he is still very much around. He was anointed twice already. Thanks again, he is not in pain. All these adversities have become a pulpit for us in which we could preach the goodness and the faithfulness of God. If somebody out there is in need of God's healing, PRAY. DO NOT SLEEP. OPEN YOUR BIBLES AND WRESTLE WITH HIM UNTIL HE BLESSES YOU. It worked for us - it'll work for you too. God bless you in your prayer. Oh! How we love JESUS!!!

Work Permit Approved - (September 27, 2006)
I have a testimony to share with you all and the whole world about what God had done for me. I put in a prayer request last week when I discovered this website and I joined the prayer warrior team for God to approve my work permit. I was born and raised in an Adventist home and I have never turned my foot away from my church. I am going back and forth with immigration right now to get a green card. So in April I applied to renew my work permit that was expiring in July and in June they denied my work permit and told me that the decision was final I could not appeal it. So I prayed and sent in prayers to people for God to make a way and approve the work permit himself because he oversees all the affairs of the universe. My job out me on an unpaid leave for 4 months until my permit comes and they reduced it to 3 months so my due date to go back to work without having to reapply for the job again is October 8, in a few days. So after praying and believing that my permit was already approved I sent in another application to apply for the same permit that they had denied and I read and meditated 2 chronicles 20v1-26. They sent me a receipt saying that they were looking into it and will notify me in 60-90 days. And today I went on their website this evening about 7pm est, just 29 days after i sent in my application for the second time and my work permit was approved on September 25,2006. We serve a living God and I love God because he loves me so much. I just want to thank everyone who read my prayer request and prayed for me. And God did it. I just want to encourage everyone never to give up because there is power in the blood of Jesus when we approach him with all our hearts humbling ourselves showing him that we depend on him we can not do anything without him. We need him always. Thank you all for praying for my sister. I sent in another praise about her health that she was healed of the brain tumor last week and God is working in our family. And continue to pray for my sister again for healing because her husband is sick from HIV and they think she might have it but it's not confirmed yet because she has not been tested. Please prayer for God to deliver her and give her a second chance and not find HIV in her body when she goes for tests. There is healing in the name of Jesus and even though they have not find a cure for HIV we know that the blood of Jesus is our cure for any type of sickness. Be blessed. With all my love Prisca, NC......

Thank God for Healing - (September 25, 2006)
I sent in a prayer request on Thursday for my sister Priscilla she was told by the Doctor that she has a brain growth. We prayed for her along with your prayers for healing and when she went on Friday for some other tests they could not find anything the Doctors told her that she was fine she just needed a pair of glasses. I want to thank God for working that miracle in her life and for giving us evidence to rest our faith on that when we come to him in prayer he does listen and his word never fails.

Grounded in Faith - (September 25, 2006)
I went to pick up two student literature evangelist around one thirty in the day, I had just parked my car and stood up talking to the two students, when these two guys came up to us and held us up with a gun, they took the car, my cell phone and one of the student money and drove away. The angels that were with us on the field aided me in running behind the car (my right knee was hurting due to twisting it on some stairs) while talking to the police on the student cell phone, I called the publishing director and asked her to mount a pray vigil. I tried my God to come through for me, because it was his work I was doing. There was over six thousand dollars worth of evangelistic material in the car, and cash for the conference and my personal documents. The vehicle stalled forty minutes after it was highjacked and everything was intact in the vehicle, we prayed and thanked GOD for spared life and coming through for us. My faith was grounded in GOD that day because he promised he would never leave me or forsake me, for He is with me always, due to this experience I have learned to trust and obey GOD in all things. I work as a full time literature evangelist in GOD'S vineyard. Ardalene, Bess - bessardes@yahoo.com

Answered Pray - (September 25, 2006)
Greetings. I asked that the “Warrior” team pray for my friend "H" who had lost his job and his wife was having a very rough time. God answered, "H" got a new job. His wife sent the son to pay a bill and when he got there, it was already paid. They do not know who paid it. God is so good. Thank you Prayer warriors. Love you all. Cynthia, Howell

God Is Right There On Time - (September 22, 2006)
I do want to thank God for miracles and wonders he works in my life. He is a God who is faithful and keeps his promises to us. June 16,2006 I was in an accident--someone hit me in the rear end and the police officer found no one at fault so I had to pay a $500 deductible to get my car fixed. I am out of work right now on a unpaid leave of absence so my funds were not enough to spare that kind of money. The shop told me that it will take 30 days to fix my car and they gave me a date of July 21. I didn’t have the money that morning to get my car out and they would not give it to me unless I pay the $500. So I called the shop to see if I could set up a payment plan and they told me that my car was not ready it was going to be ready the next Monday. I called them back on Monday and they told me that it still was not ready and they told me Wednesday and it still was not ready--when I called them and they assured me it will be ready by Tuesday of the following week. And all this time that I was calling to check on the car trying to get it out I didn’t have the money. So Tuesday I called and they told me that it will be ready that afternoon so I went to the bank and I used my bounce guard and I had to pay the negative balance in 30 days. So as I was driving to the body shop in my friends car they told me that it was not ready. So I told them that I needed a car for me to get around and they have been telling me different dates. So the manager of the shop called me and said Ms M. we will put you in a rental car for 2 days and we will pay for it because we will be done with your car on Thursday. So I went to pick up a 2006 PT Cruiser. Thursday I called them and still my car was not ready. So Friday I went to school to sell my books that I had used for fall semester and the first part of summer. The library told me that they could only give $80 for the books I paid for $390. So I got in the library and as I was about to check in the books I saw a student with her mom buying one of the books I was holding and I said to them I am selling my books and they were going to pay $80 for the book and I said I can give it to you for $60 and they bought the book. Another student walked up to me and he said I see you have a book that I am looking for and I said I can sell it to you for $60 and he bought it. I had a lot of student coming up to me and I sold all my books in less than 2 hours and I got $200. It was $120 more than what I was going to get from the library. So I called the shop and they told me that my car was not ready yet. When I got home I received 2 money orders from my friends for $100 and my sister sent me $148. So in less than a day I had $448. My car stayed in the shop for another 10 days and I kept the rental car for 13 days and the bill was $525 and the body shop paid the bill. So the whole deductible that I paid went to the bill that they had to pay. So technically I did not have to pay for anything. I was able to take the money back to my bank to clear the negative balance that I had accumulated. And I just praised God that he knew what he was doing I just had to surrender and have faith that he was going to take care of the situation and he did. He said My God will supply to all my needs according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus.

Thank You - (September 22, 2006)
Dear 3ABN. I was a sda many years ago, and in fact was studying at Weimar to become a Pastor, but I feel away from the Lord. 2 years ago God touched me through 3ABN and the prophecy seminars that were showing on TV every morning @ 4 AM. Through those Revelation prophecies God convicted me of my future apart from Him, and it was not pleasant. Since then, my wife and I have been baptized and today know that we are held safely in the hands of Jesus. Thank you and most of all praise God for His salvation. If I may, I would like to share a poem with you that God gave me one night when I was not able to sleep, a reminder of another sleepless night many years ago. “With swords and touches the solders did come, betrayed with a kiss was God's only Son. A denial three times- a glance from afar, the sheep now are scattered, both near and far. Bloodied and bruised, exhausted from the night- a crowd crying "crucify Him, crucify Him, take Him from our sight." The heavy beams on His back they did lay, a robe of scarlet the prophet did say. The Via Dela Rosa the road He did tread, a crown of thorns cruelly pressed on His head. The hill called Golgotha slowly came into sight, the skies dark and angry because of His plight. “The King of the Jews nailed to this high tree, you come down from up there; then we'll believe." But not to the right nor left He did turn, the plan to salvation, His only concern. " Oh Father- forgive them, they know not what they do." In spite of the hatred, His Love was still true. And a million, million angels all around Him did gaze, as they watched Love Eternal poured out on that day. And on the 3rd day--from the grave He arose! Sin and death now His conquered foes! And my sin, and my debt-- they've been purchased away, the day my Lord Jesus: He died in my place. Dear friend, this is not just a story, a fable, rue, He lives in my heart, providing the proof. I don’t know if it is entirely scripturally accurate, but I hope you are blessed remembering that night long ago that was endured because we are so loved by the One who framed and called all things into being. We are told that we would do well to remember daily the cost of Calvary and our salvation. If you can use it to point others to the Savior, you have my permission by all means. God bless you all as you carry on with your most important work. I thank you, and my wife thanks you. Don Kidwell

God Still Performs Miracles - (September 21, 2006)
Hi my name is Michelle, my sisters and I are originally from Illinois. There are three of us girls; two of us attended Broadview Academy. My youngest sister Susan was the one who did not. Susan just turned 29 August 2 of this year. On August 17 she went to the eye doctor because her vision was getting worse than it had been. He told her that it was not her eyes that were causing the problem and wanted her to get an M R I. On the 23rd of August, she had the test performed. On the 24th she found out that she had a brain tumor. The doctors did not feel that she had any time to play around and started looking for a surgeon. The first one would not even touch her, turned the case down flat because of the location of the tumor. Then two days later another one wanted to see her ASAP. He felt that he could remove the tumor without to many side effects. None of this had even bothered me because when she told me that she had to have the M R I, I had prayed right then that God would take her into his hands. September 1st she went into surgery. The doctor said the only possible side effects would be blindness in one eye and paralysis on one side of her head and face. She came out of surgery very good. The doctor said it was a rare tumor that grows out of the nerve. He had only seen one once before and that was 25 years ago. Five days later, she was discharged from the hospital as she was recovering so well and fast. About a week later, she started flipping out because she was not able to pay her rent since she could not work. She called her employer and begged, pleaded, cried and demanded that they let her come back to work. I told her that she had to have faith that God would take care of things. She said, "I have faith in God, it is people I don't have faith in. All people are worried about is the almighty dollar. I told her "you have to have faith that God will put compassion in people's hearts.” God has taken care of her finances for now. Several different churches have donated funds to her, the nursing home she worked for part-time gathered funds for her, and the Seventh - day Adventist church in Muskogee, Oklahoma is going to help her until she can get emergency, temporary Social Security disability. She has regained feeling in the skin of her face now (praise the lord). September 18 she went to the doctor and he expects her to have a full recovery. God has taught her a valuable lesson about faith. Pray that she will come back to him all the way.

$1800 To $300 - (September 20, 2006)
800 to $300"And it shall come to pass, that before they call, I will answer; and while they are yet speaking, I will hear." Isaiah 65:24 My van had a smoking problem. The exhaust billowed, especially when I stopped at intersections. A friend suggested a particular repair shop so I went to check it out. While there a man who had the same type of van as I did was trying to fix the same problem on his van. The mechanic said I would need the engine rebuilt which would cost about $1800. I borrowed some money from some friends and returned to the repair shop. That evening, I was near the repair shop and saw three offices still open. I went in one and behind the desk was the man who had been at the repair shop a few days earlier with the same problem. He recognized me and asked if I had corrected the problem with my van. I explained to him the current circumstances and he told me that he had been able to get his fixed for $300! He gave me the name and number of another mechanic who had done the work for him and even drove me home. To make a long story short, I picked up my van the next day and arranged to have the work done by the other mechanic who came to my house, took the van, repaired it and returned it within 24 hours. And it only cost $300! I returned the borrowed money without having to use it. I still marvel at the patience that God has to work with me. As I go through these unusual moments of my life. I am learning to trust God to take care of the things I know so little about.

Mi Testimonio - (September 18, 2006)
After I watched today this program, I noticed something that I used to see from a different point of view. After suffering for many years of depression and raised as a catholic, I observed how Jesus Christ was put on a cross with a lot of blood running through. Since I was an abused child I would worry that maybe I wasn’t obedient enough, so I would worry whether I was going to be saved to go to heaven with God. Well I thought this way at the age of 6 or 7 since I was going to church by myself. I never told anyone what I thought of, because I believed that you needed to be beaten and mistreated to get to heaven. Now at the age of 51, I realized that you do not need to be beaten or mistreated by others to get to heaven. It’s easier just to accept Jesus Christ as your personal Savior and read the bible that is the map to get to heaven with God, because in it, you will find the path to life and the truth on how to live and not giving yourself to be mistreated like a ball. It’s not beating yourself for love. Love is Jesus Christ. God is Love, Faith and Hope.

New Job - (September 17, 2006)
Hello, Back in November, I shared with 3ABN a prayer request for my spouse who was having difficulties on his job. Again, in March I requested your prayers because he was still dealing with this issue of being accused of harassment. I want to praise the Lord for delivering my husband from this situation and for clearing his name. I also want to praise and thank the Lord for giving my spouse a new job. Thank you 3ABN for praying along with me through this ordeal. To God Be The Glory Great things He has and continues to do for His people.

God Healed Me of My Glaucoma and My Hemorrhages - (August 29, 2006)
I saw my Ophthalmologist in Greenville about 4 months ago and he was saying to me that I was going blind in my left eye due to my glaucoma. I have been praying to God for a very long time about healing me of my glaucoma and my Hemorrhages that I was having, because God knew how much I wanted to be healed, so I can use the healing to serve him. I asked my pastor come over and anointed me over a year ago. Well, I saw my old ophthalmologist last week ago and he said I had no glaucoma and no hemorrhages. I asked him what he meant by "no glaucoma and hemorrhages" and he said just what he said "no glaucoma, no hemorrhages.” I did not know what to think. I have been using the Miracle 2 neutralizer drops in my eyes for 3-4 months and the only thing I could think of why he said that is God healed me. Now I am see my new Ophthalmologist here where I live and he says the same thing. God did heal me of my glaucoma and my hemorrhages! Praise the Lord! This is a true healing. I give God all the credit. Now I am having ear infection in my right ear and my Ear, Nose and Throat doctor gave me some medicines for that, but it was making headaches and more dizzy. I am now using the Neutralizer in my ears and it is healing me of that! Praise the Lord! You friend in Christ, Gary W. Park

Successful Open Heart Surgery - (August 16, 2006)
The whys of life are often too difficult to understand. Sometimes things happen to us, which leave us confused, stunned and terrified. In this fallen world, nature sometimes make terrible mistakes which caused us to momentarily grasp for air and ask if there was something we did that caused the trouble. My first grandson, REICH DAVID FUENTES was born with multiple cardiac anomalies. If you remember, my sister in Switzerland emailed your praying team to solicit their prayers because he was to undergo open-heart surgery to repair the defects particularly the transposition of the great arteries. The surgery was performed last August 19 at 7am Philippine time. It lasted for 10 long grueling hours, and he emerged from surgery with vitals steadily going normal and color has returned from bluish gray to pink -pink all over. He is doing fine now. My son told me that one doctor said, “This baby is lucky because you prayed a lot. He is the first baby to have survived such procedures after four years.” Prayers change things!!! In addition, another unbelievable thing that happened was the cost of surgery, which was estimated to be from 700-800 thousand pesos - and an ANGEL in human form came to rescue us. All throughout the surgery, I prayed that the pillar of cloud will hover over the baby and the team, and sure, it didn’t move that day until the surgery was over. Praise God! He is the same today and tomorrow. Thank you 3ABN for your burden in praying for others. I know He has commissioned an angel to stay by our baby's side as he lies on his hospital crib. Please continue to pray for his recovery. He still is attached to some tubes at this time. Help me pray that he'll completely recover in the soonest time possible. Thank you, Great Physician!

Joshua - (August 11, 2006)
I am a 3ABN Prayer Warrior and wanted to send in a praise report on my grandson Joshua. The Doctors believe they got all the cancer. He will need future operations to keep adding larger hipbones. He Survived the Operation, Praise God. I want to thank all of you for your precious prayers for him! Linda Miner

Now I love JESUS en everyday pray and now I understand the book of Daniel. Please pray for me to tell other of Jesus.

Prayer - (August 3, 2006)
Since day one Jesus has been in my life, answering my prayers when needed. I once went through a rough time with my Father and had asked the LORD Jesus Christ to help me thru the rough time i was in. I said "Dear Jesus. Please help me over come these fights with my father and please have your Holy Angels be with me thru this time or any other as i am in desperate need of your help. Leave your arms open and let my come into them to be warm and comforted and let me know that you are here with me the whole way thru this Journey. And for this i ask in Jesus Precious name, Amen." And my Father and i weren't fighting with each other anymore and i thought to myself... My prayer has just been answered!

The Tale of A Biker An Bambi... - (July 22, 2006)
This is the TESTIMONY of the Miracles in my medical history I have been healed from numerous life threatening situations. When I was in California, I was in a Christian motorcycle club called The Reborn Riders. It was a special ministry reaching bikers with The Gospel. They need to hear it as much as other folks, but are not as easy to reach as some due to the stereotype image given to bikers. There have been some bikers who were intent on being outlaws, and they have made it more difficult for other people who just want to ride. We found that there was an opportunity to share with them when riding that is not available at other times. One evening on my way to a club meeting, I was riding down a remote country highway when a deer jumped out from the side of the highway and went in the same direction I swerved. Well, you may have seen how much damage that a deer can do to a vehicle at 60 miles per hour, but I was on my bike! That's how I got to be dead on arrival at the hospital. The doctors said that the pressure in my skull was classified as extreme due to being so great. The skull was intact enough that there was no escape for it. When the guys were praying for me the doctors were able to abandon the plan to drill a hole in my skull to release the pressure because it suddenly dropped to normal. After my 12 days in a coma, I was rather clumsy and dropped my glasses several times and they were scratched. I went to the eye doctor to get a new pair and the tests for the prescription showed that I was 20/20 and no longer require glasses! Apparently, there were enough people praying for complete healing that JESUS just included the eyes while HE was at it! When people have asked why I thought this happened to me I have told them that Satan was mad at me for helping to take his victims away so he decided to kill me. THE LORD said "NO YOU DON'T!" "THIS IS ONE OF MINE,YOU CAN'T HAVE HIM!..." Tomothy Huges

Encouraged - (July 21, 2006)
We recently purchased your satellite and will like to thank you for all the programs you provide. Your vision to bring the good news to all nations is definitely an inspiration from God. I personally enjoy Doug Batchelor, Shelly Quinn, John Lomacang and Danny Shelton. When I am going through my trials, 3abn has been an avenue to provide encouragement and inspiration to my soul. I look forward to supporting your ministry. May God grant us the resources to do so in a big way. Wilma

God Is There When Needed Most. - (July 21, 2006)
Back in about 1965 as a young man already working in the SDA Church organization as an office worker, I was deeply considering my relationship with the Lord. I had been baptized as a 13-year-old back in 1957. I was thinking "Is the Christian walk really worth the effort (which indicates a lack of understanding of the Gospel of Jesus) or should I just forget the idea. I was driving out of Melbourne (capital city of Victoria, Australia) on the road to Bendigo, (a provincial city over 100 miles north) in my 2-door car, a Morris Mini. As a student, I would hitchhike quite a bit, so when I had the opportunity I would pick up a hitchhiker, as I knew how they would appreciate the ride. I picked up two men who immediately got into the back seat leaving the front passenger seat vacant. They informed me they were going to Castlemaine (a town to the west of the road we were on, which meant they would be dropped off at the turn-off to the town. We did not talk at all during the trip, as I was deep in my personal struggle, considering my future as a Christian. One of the men spoke as I was rounding a bend, "We thought you were going to hit the truck." I regard myself as an alert driver, but I hadn't seen a truck, but when I looked around there was a large semi-trailer truck across the road. I had been speeding along at about 70+ miles per hour, so hitting a truck at that speed would most probably proved fatal. I had inadvertently turned off the main road into the Castlemaine turn-off with realizing it and without seeing the truck, which had crossed the highway in front of me. I stopped the car and the men got out. I had to turn the car around to get back on the Bendigo road, which took only a few seconds, and when I turned to wave to the two men I was surprised to see them gone. My immediate thought was that they had been very lucky to catch another ride so quickly. As I continued my trip, a strange thing happened. My mind started to mull over what had just happened: 1. Why did I pick up two men? -- I would never do that. I would only pick up one at a time. 2. Why did they both get into the back and leave the front passenger seat vacant? 3. Why did they not speak up when I was about to hit the truck? 4. Why did I not see the truck? A semi-trailer is hardly invisible. 5. What made me turn off the main road? I had to take the bend to the left to do so, whereas the road I was on was almost straight. 6. How did the two men disappear so quickly? There really was nowhere near enough time for them to be picked up, and there were no other vehicles at the time. 7. Why was it that I could not describe the men? I would not recognize them, if I saw them immediately, other than to say they appeared "very ordinary." As I was continuing on, these questions were repeatedly coming to mind. All of a sudden, a voice said to me, "Harvey, I love you." Being alone in the car, I wondered where the voice came from. I thought it was just my mind playing tricks on me and so dismissed it from my thoughts. A couple of minutes passed and then the voice returned and repeated the same words, "Harvey, I love you." It's hard to say, but at the time the voice was loud and it seemed much more than just a thought, it seemed audible. I then realized that the Lord was trying to get me to decide for Him. He knew the thoughts of my heart at that precise time. I believe he sent the two "men" as proof of his concern for me on a personal level. From that time on, I determined that the Lord would be my Master and Friend from that time on. I have made many mistakes since then, but have never rejected the Lord. He showed me that He is interested in me, personally. Since that time, I have worked in the church organization as an office worker, school teacher, mission teacher and Associate Union Treasurer. I recently retired after 37 years - 17 of which were spent in the mission field. Seven years at Fulton College in Fiji, five years at Sonoma College in Papua New Guinea, and five years as an Associate Treasurer in the Papua New Guinea Union Mission. Throughout my life - especially since 1965, I have experienced an amazing number of God's providences. In my retirement, I am regularly preaching in churches here in South Australia. We have installed a satellite dish to receive 3ABN and the Hope Channel. It is an enormous blessing. May the Lord bless you all abundantly, as you work for Him. It will be amazing to meet on the sea of glass those who have been influenced for their Master through the TV and other ministries. With Christian love, Harvey Carlsen

God Saved Me Through My Trials - (July 15, 2006)
I have been living in my first apartment in for about two years and I am very grateful that I am here, surrounded by other residents who also have mental problems. I have mild Schizophrenia most of my life and I lived with my parents all my life, be thanks to God that they are still alive. I have been having trouble with my father all my life and I needed to move out of there to my own place. I have been praying for God to find a solution for a very long time and one time my sister, who lives in CA as a Physiologist/life coach, she came to the house and asked me what do I wanted to do with my life. I told her that I wanted to live in my own apartment, drive my own car, start to date a nice Adventist girl, get married. She then said that maybe the North Carolina Mental Health System could have an apartment where I could live on my own. My mother taught me everything there is to know how to live on my own and I am very grateful to her. I have never lived on my own, but I knew I could do it in the first place, because I learn things quickly and it did not take long for me to live on my own successfully. I love to use my computer for God's will, which I learned on my own. Our current pastor and I were working on a website for our church, which I volunteered to create to use to serve God to his honor and Glory. He liked it, but my severe sweating interfered. They decided not to use my services and they now have their own website that our conference division has set up. My pastor came over to my apartment to break the news to me; he said that there are other ways to serve God, like to build my own website. He said I have the know-how, so I did. I now have my own personal website, which is now hosted on Tagnet's web hosting service. I do not want kind of trials Satan has for me, but I know God will see me through them all. Your brother in Chriat,Gary W. Park

Tongues - (July 15, 2006)
I was busy working when a nurse asked me to come. The Chief of Staff could not understand what was upsetting his patient--A new heart patient from Greece. I was born in U.S., I speak, and understand English. I told the Dr., he wonders how he will pay the bill? The Dr. opened his billfold and showed him $$, and told him not to worry. The patient relaxed. I went back to work. A few days later the nurse came again. I went--same man, same Doctor. A Heart patient. He told me in his own dialect of his concern about being constipated. I told the Doctor. Later it hit me, I DON'T use this mans foreign tongue. How amazing is my GOD. He helped me so I could help this man. I told the other nurse; I don't know Greek. God helped me. This man is special. To God we all are special. I heard the sermon the other night on 3 ABN concerning the Tongues. I wanted to shout from the roof tops!! MY God is an AWESOME GOD!! He is there for us! NEVER let go of His Hand! When we let go of Gods hand, we wander in desperate isolation. He is waiting for us to get back on tract and call for him. He loves us so, WHAT A WONDERFUL GOD. I have seen the power of God at work. Amazing! I loved every minute of this blessing that God has allowed me to be a part. Elaine

Da Vinci Code Stirs Up the Truth - (July 14, 2006)
Enjoying your program down under. My story is one of gratitude for the book. Without it I wouldn’t have turned from my backslidden lifestyle after 9 years in the wilderness. I had been off work on sick leave due to burn out and had searched the internet for info on the illness. I found a SDA website which offered a study for stress relief, I knew nothing about SDA churches but read the tenets of the faith and was impressed on the Sabbath teachings having felt that it was the way; I was not keeping the Sabbath, not to mention not following the Way that I knew to be Truth. I ordered the studies then traveled to spend time with my daughter some distance from my home. She had bought me a ticket to a nightclub and popular rock band but I just didn't feel to go so stayed at home alone to read, found the Da Vinci Code on my daughter's book shelf and spent the next 16 hours, minus 3-4 hrs for sleep, reading this book. It was so obviously lies, as I had studied the Bible for some years faithfully and knew enough to recognize complete fiction when I read it. This began the healing of my backsliding of which I am so very thankful. I've moved out of a de facto relationship and improving my eating and drinking habits. Tomorrow will be my first Sabbath Worship Day after listening to your radiobroadcasts for the last month, whenever I have had a question in my heart about doctrine your broadcast has given me answers and the zeal to study God's Word myself. I went with my adult daughters to the DVC movie and had the opportunity to share my understandings with them and reason together ending with them acknowledging the fiction that it portrays. What was meant for evil God meant for Good, to bring it about that many might live. I have come back to life in Christ and I'm thankful that once again God laughs in the face of the enemy...Let's not limit Our God. Thanks for your fabulous work, I didn't know the radio station existed until I stumbled across it after my children used my radio and I had to move stations to find my regular one, I listen daily and as I suffer from insomnia, nightly as well. My sleep has definitely improved. God is Good. Leanne Henderson

Well Timed Programming - (July 12, 2006)
Today I watched the program with Mollie Steenson about breast cancer. I am due to have a further examination on Monday and seeing this program has put to rest some of the doubts that I have in my mind. Can I please request that a prayer to be said to aide those that are involved in the medical profession in this area be given continued guidance in this area. It was by chance that I was watching as it is very early in the morning here in Australia. My God continue to bless this worthwhile ministry and all those involved, whether they have a small part or large. Yours Margaret.Bray.

Drug and Alcohol Addiction - (July 11, 2006)
I struggled for many years with drug and alcohol addictions. I have been delivered from my addictions by the delivering grace of Jesus Christ's blood. I have developed a drug and alcohol ministry, Alive in Christ's Project Oasis. I have written two books and am raising funds to open 90 camps across the nations. I serve an awesome God who has the solution for every problem that faces us. I would like to share this with you and your viewers. Robert Keating

From Darkness Into the Light - (July 10, 2006)
I was born into an atheist family and brought up in an alcohol, drug and adulterous environment. I went to the Vietnam War and returned lost without hope and very dependent on drugs and alcohol. I had been married 22 years and had four sons and wife lost because of my addictions. We were reduced to living on the streets, homeless, stealing, lying and whatever it took to keep the products of Satan in my mind to forget the losses, the war, and my disabilities. Then one night, while I was walking in the streets, ready to end it all, I heard the sound of music coming from a small church in a very bad part of town where only druggies and thieves hung out. I went inside hoping for a hand out, instead I found the most wonderful thing, Jesus Christ. As soon as I entered the building a strange feeling came over me; I dropped to my knees as if something had drained all the energy from me. The pastor came and helped me to a seat and after a few minutes, I surrendered my life to Christ. I asked Him to forgive me and lead me in a new direction. After this ministry had helped me through “Detox,” I began a new life as a new creature in Christ and I have not turned back. That was in 1999 and since then I have read and studied the Scriptures along with prayer and have began to minister to people who are in the same bondage as I was. I hope someday to start or find a position in full time ministry. I can serve by bringing the Good News and God’s love to all. Maybe if it’s the Lord’s will I will find such a place, God truly works in mysterious ways. I was once one of Satan’s army but now I am a solider of Christ. Only Jesus could have made this happen, Praise God Always, Keith Eppard

Finding 3abn With Out My Remote Control - (July 9, 2006)
Lift up the trumpet and loud let it reign Jesus is coming again. I was in the valley of decision about returning to church after 15 years. I was awaken to the song “Lift up the trumpet and loud let it reign, Jesus is coming again.” I jumped out of my sleep and said that’s an Adventist song. I tried to switch the channel but my remote was not where it normally was, so I stayed awake and listened to 3ABN for an hour trying to figure out what just had happened. I am now back in church and loving every moment I spend with Jesus. Thanks 3ABN and continue to pray for my daughter and me that one day soon she will join me in serving the Lord. Maycill Powlett

Gods Power - (June 23, 2006)
God came into our lives and gave a serious smack down to our smoking habit. I just wanted to give Him praise for giving us strength to stop smoking. Daniel Bain

Ten Commandments Twice Removed (New Book) - (June 21, 2006)
This book has truly revealed many interesting things that I did not know as a Seventh day Adventist. It has drawn me closer to Christ and I am eternally grateful. I am in the process of witnessing to my friends and I ask that you pray for me as I continue worshipping God in spirit and in truth. Sobrina Jenkins

Fisher of Men - (June 20, 2006)
This message is particularly directed toward Shelley Quinn. I attended her session during the women's conference. I am 24, and have had a relationship with the Lord since 4. I have allowed Him to direct my life and I praise God that He has taught me and spared me from many of the things in this world. Only when I have taken my eyes off Him have I veered from the Highway of Holiness talked of in Isaiah. Anyway, not to make this really long, I have wanted something more. There is no other way to explain it. I crave to do the will of the Lord. I have prayed scripture for years and have found its truth ring in my life. Yet, it was as if I wasn't taking quite the right steps, or approach. Before I went to the Women's Conference I looked at the list of workshops and felt the Holy Spirit leading me to Shelley's workshop. I knew really nothing about her. I had seen her on 3ABN a few times, but not paid any particular attention to her. (Sorry, Shelley!) But I felt the Lord especially leading me to this workshop right away the first morning. I went through her workshop listening intently in the front row awed by what the Holy Spirit was revealing to me through her. It was so true the way she prayed. I knew this was something I could do. I believed what she was saying and rapidly wanted to apply it to my prayer life. As I flew home from my weekend at 3ABN, I also started reading her book. That night when I got home I was very tired, but wanted to start this new prayer experience with the Lord. As I knelt down to pray the steps we talked about at the workshop (PRAISE) were in front of me, so I could quickly look at them. Everything flowed so nice, and it was a beautiful moment between me and the Lord. I got to the "E" and I felt it was time to simply "be silent and know that I am God". Literally after about a few second, I was impressed (nothing audible) with the sentence, "I will make you a fisher of men." This came into my mind a couple times, and then the song "I will make you fisher of men if you follow me...." came into my mind also. And that was it. It was beautiful. The next morning my sister needed me to come to her house to look after her oldest son and the boy, 9 years old, who she baby-sits in the summer. I hadn't gotten a chance to read my Bible that morning and I had my Bible out sitting on the floor. I invited my little nephew to join me in a Bible story and the young boy of 9 joined also. After the Bible story, the boy picked up my Bible and started reading Genesis chapter 1. I sat and watched him as he read. He exclaimed, "I can even read this!" I said of course you can, and we started in on a full blown Bible study. He was hungry and very thirsty. He was being drawn in by the Word of God. He asked questions and commented and listened to me tell him what the Bible said. We covered so much in that time. The state of the dead, hell fire, the second coming, the trinity w/o Mary ( He is being raised Catholic), creation, Satan's end, and that God loves every person, the Holy Spirit in our lives, and I am sure more. He was so hungry for the Word I was amazed. This is a testimony to me because I have struggled a bit in witnessing for Jesus. I do it, but to no matter what age it was rather awkward. When I let the Holy Spirit lead me, and to "hear" God tell me that HE will make me a fisher of men, it was so amazing. Everything went so smooth, and it all was divine, right from God. It is hard to express in words the joy I have over this. I know the Word is truth, and I know prayer is powerful, and the Holy Spirit is willing to work with me. I know you all will find this encouraging. Breann Coughlin

God Is So Good - (June 20, 2006)
I was brought up in the Adventist church but came out and was such a ruthless teenager but on August 28, 2005, the Holy Spirit spoke to my heart and I couldn't resist him. I am now back into the fold and awaiting the coming of our Lord. The Lord has been so good to me and I find pleasure in praising his name everyday. Jodie Wisdom

Saved By Grace - (June 16, 2006)
On a beautiful, sunny April day, there was a deep darkness in my heart. Driving home from work that day, I was trying to decide how to end my life. I felt I had burned all my bridges behind me and no longer had anyone I could turn to. God, however, had another plan for my life. As I contemplated suicide, God interceded with a memory verse I had learned as a teenager, "Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be meat in Mine house, and prove Me now herewith, saith the LORD of hosts, if I will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to receive it." Malachi 3:10. That verse definitely caught my attention, since the reason I was considering suicide was financial difficulties I was going through at the time. Though my reasoning was faulty, God didn't attempt to correct my thoughts at that time, but gently led me to recommit my life to Him. Here I am, more than twenty years later, still amazed at God's unconditional love for me and the realization that God literally saved my life, not only physically, but more importantly, spiritually. I can never thank Him enough. This may be why I enjoy singing songs that reflect His lifesaving power such as "The Lighthouse", "You Gave Me Love", etc. Dottie Palmer

Job - (June 8, 2006)
I, along with my friend prayed on Monday for my brother to get a job and we prayed and thanked God in advance for his job. Today, when I saw my brother online the first thing I asked him about his job and he told me that he got a job. Thank you Jesus.

The Lord Saved My Wife!!!! - (June 6, 2006)
When my mother in law passed away, I took my wife to the USA for a couple of days. A friend of mine sent to me two tickets and he waited for me in Miami. My wife got very sick in the plane as we went to Orlando. We stopped in the ER of the Florida Hospital and after several tests they found a brain tumor. She needed brain surgery—a very delicate surgery. A young doctor performed the surgery. I was afraid because we have three kids, and I was very close to losing my wife. However, God said different, and now she is doing okay. There is a lady working in the pastoral care of the Florida Hospital, her name is Marti, she was very special to us and she gave us her heart. She took good care of us and she was part of this miracle. My wife's name is Melissa; you can ask for her in the pastoral care of the Florida Hospital, they will tell you better than I can, since my English is not very good. Mrs. Jennet Thomas, was our mom and our support in that difficulty.- Good bless Jesus, Marti and the Florida Hospital. Edgardo Munguia

A Life Forever Changed - (June 1, 2006)
Starting life, being born to a 16 yr old mom and 18yr old dad, was just the beginning of dysfunction in my life. My dad left when I was two. During the next 17yrs of my life, I would endure physical/emotional/sexual abuse from my mom's husbands (as well as from my mom--not the sexual abuse but tons of physical and emotional). I had made many bad choices in my rebellion, including three suicide attempts. My grandmother would say prayers with me, so I knew there was a God, I just wasn't sure I would ever be "good enough.” I would ask for forgiveness and then go back to bad choices. I went on to go through a divorce at the age of 21. I would remarry a few years later. I have two beautiful daughters (now 21 and 19). That marriage was also dysfunctional. I again felt that God could never love someone like me. On April 30, 1994 while returning from a day out with the girls (ages seven&nine at that time) we were hit head on by a drunk driver. Both girls were injured and taken to Children’s Hospital. By the grace of GOD, they fully recovered from their injuries. I was pinned in the car for over an hour, had 17 fractures, a head injury, back injury and lung injury. I would spend the next 15 months learning to walk again. I went through eight orthopedic surgeries and lots of therapy. One evening I was having a flashback, which I had had since the crash and right before seeing the truck hit me again, an angel stood before the oncoming truck and me and said that everything would be ok and that I would be all right. WOW, talk about an awakening. By HIS love and mercy, I did recover. I have some problems related to my injuries, but considering what could have been...I can deal with that. God had given me another chance. I had not lived my life for HIM. You would think that would have been enough, however, I went back to my dysfunctional ways. There was always a still small voice in my mind; I wish I had listened sooner. I would go to another divorce. In Dec 1999, I met a very kind man. Before we had met, I cried out to God one evening when my life had reached the point of giving up completely. I was miserable, felt worthless (even though I had gone back to school and became an RN, not bad for having gone through my injuries) and I was lonely. I prayer for HIM to bring the person HE had for me. 6 weeks later there he was! We started talking about faith. Turned out Tim was a Seventh Day Adventist. We were married 2/19/00. One evening Tim was watching something on TV. Turned out to be Doug Batchelor on Net 99 on 3ABN. My life changed completely. I accepted the Bible truths and in Dec 2001, I was baptized. Praise God! Life has not been a bed of roses, but I am not going through it alone. I am now presenting messages in our church at times, am head deaconess, work with women's ministries and I sing for our church! Thank you for your ministry. Jerri M.

3abn & the Ten Commandments Weekend - (May 30, 2006)
We just wanted to let you know that we watched the Ten Commandments weekend a few weeks ago and we have been observing the Sabbath ever since, praise God! We have been Christians attending Sunday-observing churches during the past years, but we have truly been inspired by the programming since we started watching 3ABN a few months ago. We even installed our own 3ABN Satellite when the service was interrupted on Sky Angel. We now watch only 3ABN. Please pray for us as we look for an Adventist Church to attend. In addition, please let us know when the next camp meeting will be. We are hoping to be able to attend. Thank you, JoAnn and Bob Christensen

Saved and Healed - (May 23, 2006)
HEALING SLIP I’m a 55-year-old dump truck driver with perpetual low back pain since an auto accident in 1997. The pain is normally under control for the work I do, but when I go with my wife to shop my back will tighten up within 20 minutes and I’ll literally have to go sit down. I felt feel like an old man. This has been a problem for a number of years. I was baptized in 1991 but the ground was unfruitful, thorns and cares of this life and such. I had no spiritual life. In Oct 2004 the Lord brought me to the breaking point and to the realization that I need to be reborn, as Jesus told Nicodimus. Praise Him, He blessed me with a new heart and put His Spirit in me. I am a new creation! I needed to put the fact that I now know I am saved and that God is my God, but back to my story about my back. I have to wash out the bed of my truck for hauling silica sand so the sand will not get contaminated. I usually lift the bed of the truck a little so the water flows easier and I walk inside the box as I wash it out with a hose. I did this one day and as I finished up the washing, I stood at the back of the truck box preparing to jump down to the ground. I went to move and my feet slipped out from under me. I landed straight down heavily on my posterior, bounced out of the truck, landing on the ground, standing on my feet. I was laughing and praising God before I realized that my low back pain was missing. It’s been one year since this miracle happened and although I still have some back pain, I can shop with my wife and walk in general without the pain I formally had, Praise the Lord. HE IS GLORIFIED BY OUR PRAISES!

Set Up for Miracles/T.R.U.S.T. - (May 19, 2006)
1 Timothy 4:10 "For to this end we both labor and suffer reproach because we trust in the living God, who is the Savior of all men, especially of those who believe." This is the story of our precious Timothy who at the age of 23 months old experienced major head injury trauma while my pastor husband was playing with him. My husband and I saw first hand account that we do not wrestle with flesh and blood but principalities. However, God had major plans for miracles to be seen, witnessed and experienced through surrender and trust in His greater plan that when all is said and done may He be glorified and praised! On November 6, 2003 my husband was the main speaker for a huge evangelistic outreach endeavor in the greater Modesto, CA area (we pastor at the Ceres Adventist church) when this trauma happened the night before he was to speak on America in Prophecy and cover the topic on the mark of the beast. Now bear in mind this little boy was placed with us under foster care in the adoption process and we had cared for him since he was two months old. (The story of how Timmy was placed with us is another story of God's indication that He has plans for each one of our lives regardless of whether you were a so-called "accident" and not wanted at birth) My husband playfully swung Timmy in front of him at waist level about 2 1/2 feet above the floor while playing with him. Timmy slipped through his hands and landed on the floor fracturing his skull. I was in the other room and will never forget the sound. The sound that I heard from the other room while I was in the kitchen at the sink doing dishes was unmistakable. I heard laughing and giggling coming from the laundry room where my husband and little boy were waiting for the load in the washer to finish so that they could put the wet clothes in the dryer together. Then I heard that sickening sound even over the water flowing from my kitchen tap as I washed dishes. THUD! It sounded as if someone had dropped a watermelon. It took just a few seconds for my brain to respond and meet my husband in the hall carrying Timmy in his arms. I could already see the swelling starting to arise from the right side of his head. I grabbed his binder with papers and we flew out the door all the while I was talking to him asking him what the cow said, what the dog said, asking him his name and engaging him in conversation. He never loss consciousness. They chemically sedated him at the local hospital. The right side of his skull fractured in a diagonal slant and perforated his brain like a spear. The local hospital medi-flighted him to UC Davis. They told us that he was stable and doing well. We started to drive the hour and a half drive on this relatively clear night when from out of nowhere it started to pour down rain, whipping winds and thunder. The rain poured down in sheets and we could hardly see the road. Praying aloud the whole way I asked God to quiet the skies. I found out later from the medi-flight staff that it was only suppose to take 20 minutes flight time but due to the weather it whipped the helicopter all over the place and they were planning to return back to Modesto or land prior because they could not contain the chopper. It was during this time that Timmy's brain pressures soared and they thought they were going to lose him in the air. He was stable when he left and was being sent for precautionary measures only in case he needed a pediatric neurosurgeon. The neurosurgeons and child protective physician at UC Davis stated that the amount of trauma was like being thrown out of a two-story window or a passerby car or forcefully sledge hamming his head onto the floor. They could not imagine how much trauma could occur from just a few feet above the floor. Intra cranial pressures and swelling within the brain were in the fifties when normal pressure is between 10-12. The six neurosurgeons at UC Davis Children’s center had never experienced what they were about to experience. The Dr. came to tell us that they did not expect the boy to live and as a last heroic effort needed to remove the whole right side of the skull to try to reduce swelling. Even with the removal of this bone, the swelling was so massive and prolonged that they expected major damage to occur thus possible cognitive, neurological, visual and yes, even death due to the area of trauma. PRAISE GOD! Timmy has experienced none of these deficits. He was advanced when he left the hospital just eight days later. As we walked with the six physicians who were at his bedside pushing Timmy to the operating room, they stopped at the OR room and informed us that we needed to say, "Goodbye" to our little boy. When they said that the prevalence of evil gloom encroached like a cloud hovering over and in my despair I stopped them and asked them if I could pray with all six of them before they performed surgery on this child. I believed that God would return Timmy to me for the third time. What I mean by that is that God tried to deliver him to our home at 9 hours old initially and I refused, and then God brought him the second time after another refusal at two months old. (A whole other chapter) The physicians agreed and I prayed for each one of them and prayed over Timmy. I then kissed him goodbye. The surgery was to take only one hour and three hours later the Dr. came out and gave us the bleak news. They apologized first for it taking so long and not giving us any news. They could not send someone out to talk with us as they were dealing with a non "textbook" situation. The head Dr. stated that they would get one area of bleeding cauterized and stop the bleeding then several more would pop up in areas that they would never have expected where there was no trauma. The Dr., at one point stated, “we are all seasoned physicians here and we had no text book to refer to as we did not know what kind of forces we were dealing with." When he stated that I cut him off and asked, "Dr, are you a Christian?" He replied, “yes, why?" I then responded, "I know what forces you were dealing with." During this 2-hour interval, my husband and I were anxiously waiting without any word in the waiting area. We were verbally weeping, wailing, and praying aloud to God. We were acting as if the boy had already died. When all of a sudden I looked up from my verbal anguish to God and saw a man, walk in and sit down in the corner across from us. It jarred me from my external processing and I thought to myself, “Do I not have a God in Heaven that is caring and taking care of these issues for me?” “I act as if there is no living God." I asked the man, "Do you have a child in surgery?" He responded, "No, I have a 17 year old son in a coma and they do not expect him to live. They say that he is brain dead and has no brain activity as he has been in a coma for three days. They want me to take him off of all life support and I do not know what to do." He then went on to say that, this was his only son. I asked what had happened. He told me that his son had been in an automobile accident with four other friends and all friends were killed instantly except his son. I told him that we had a child in surgery and they did not expect a great outcome for him but that we had a living God in heaven that wants to show us marvelous outcomes. I asked if we could pray with him. He told me that he was Catholic. I told him that it did not matter that we serve the same living God in Heaven and He knows all. The boys name was Joseph. We prayed with him. I ran into this man a few days later, recognized him, and asked how Joseph his son was doing. He was shocked and said, "Oh you are the lady that prayed with me. I want to thank you for what you did." I told him that I did nothing. He then told me that when he was agonizing his son’s situation and was contemplating taking him off all life support that I gave him hope when the physicians had given him no hope. He told me that thanks to me he did not take his son off life support and that he came out of coma on his own and testing showed no brain damage and that he was in a step down unit and they were talking about releasing his son within a few days." I then told him not to thank me but to thank the living God in heaven for hearing our prayers. I then encouraged him and told him that we can talk with Jesus directly and that He intercedes on our behalf." I then praised Jesus name right there and then and then later journaled another entry into my "Timmy's Trauma and Trials Log." I started to call our church support and prayer partners and prayer chains. The evangelistic attendees the next evening where my husband was to speak were informed of the situation. God provided another speaker for us to fill in until the last evening. This speaker who had just finished the exact series a week prior was on cue to complete our series for us. But God needed to bring the people attending these meetings together and bring Timmy back to them for my husband to deliver God's most powerful message ever during this time and for the people to witness a set up for miracles to unfold before them. People all over started to pray for Timmy. After surgical intervention, we were told to expect that Timmy would be in the Intensive Care Unit in a coma for at least a month. He was out of the hospital within eight days in time for my husband to preach the final night meeting and for us to sing together and present the power of the prayers of the faithful. They were not aware of us going to be there as the discharge was another answer to pray. At the end of the message, my husband invited me out on stage to sing with him. I carried Timmy in my arms. No one knew that we were there. Timmy thanked the people and prayed into the mike thanking Jesus. It brought the house down. We sang together the song, "No more Night" no more pain, no more tears, never crying again, and praises to the Great I AM, we will live in the light of the risen Lamb! Now Timmy, as far as that the physicians or we can determine, has no cognitive or neurological deficits when all the professionals told us that there would be many. Every trial and trauma that we go through is a set up for you to choose to trust in the living God, He wants us to test Him, and that placing our trust in Him is a set up for Him to do and perform the miracles that He wants to do in your life. Instead of running and retreating, we need to face our trials with surrender and trust in a living God believing that He will perform those miracles. The adoption finalized after 3 years and we had cared for this baby boy since he was 2 months old. He is 4 years old now. I have an acronym for the word T.R.U.S.T. to remember when faced with challenges so that God can set us (you) up for miracles. T stands for TRIALS-----We need plenty for a continual reminder to submit and not become complacent. R stands for REMEMBRANCE----What God has done for you and how He has led you through the fires. U stands for UNWAVERING-----faith, trust and perseverance having your eyes fixed on Jesus. S stands for SURRENDERING----your will and control and allowing God to set you up for miracles. T stands for TRIUMPHANT----- GIve praise, glory and honor when all is said and done may God be glorified and praised. Stephanie Mason (Spouse: Pastor Bob Mason-Ceres Adventist Church)

God Is Real !!!!!! - (May 14, 2006)
My name is Clay, my wife and I are director's of a Seventh-Day Adventist Pathfinder Club for the youth. We are located in Missouri. The testimonies that I have are living proof that there is a GOD and that JESUS is reigning in heaven and over earth......We hold fundraiser's for the events that we take these young kids to and so far we have had two fundraisers ( we are only three months old as a group) here is where our testimonies begin.......The first one was a rummage sale and our sale was on a Friday and a Sunday, being Seventh-Day Adventist ourselves we kept the Sabbath Holy, We got a lot of people to donate stuff to our sale and our goal was that we would try our best to make $400.00 and the end result on that Sunday evening when we totaled everything up......JESUS had blessed us with $800.00 and we all stand firm that it was not just what we believe in but we also kept the SABBATH HOLY. Our next fundraiser was a softball tournament on a Sunday, it had rained the day before and just drenched the fields so me a three others went out the night before and cleaned up the in fields on both fields, the next day, the day of the tournament, all the teams arrived and let me add that we had a goal of trying to get 4 teams to play against our team and GOD blessed us with 8 teams that day, AMEN, The sky was filled with overcast and some rain in the area. It did rain some but not enough to rain us out yet, but all of a sudden there came up from the south a huge rain cloud just pouring down rain and most of the teams where ready to give up and go home and call it quits, but I started to tell everyone that there was nothing to worry about because JESUS was going to take care of it for us and lo and behold as the rain cloud started to poor down on us, all of a sudden the rain cloud stopped moving towards us and shifted to the east quicker than I have ever seen one move and we where able finish out our tournament the rest of the day and went on to raise $430.00 for our club. Some of us knew that it was the hand of JESUS that moved that cloud because only HE could do something like that and allow us to continue. Now we did pray before the start of the games and we closed the end of the day giving thanks to our LORD JESUS for blessing us with what we got and we are now planning our next fundraiser for our church school that was just voting back in to reopen after several years, and we know that our LORD JESUS will bless us with that fundraiser as well, because when you have JESUS on your side there is nothing that you can't do. Through CHRIST all good things happen! I Thank You for letting me share our testimonies with you all and may GOD bless each and everyone of you! AMEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What God Said He Meant - (April 14, 2006)
Last week I went to take the Accuplacer the Algebra portion (a test that enable you to get in the nursing program). I prayed before I started, but I thought I knew most of the questions, so praying was more out of habit then really asking God for help. When I came out of the testing center, I expected to pass with good grades. However, when I got the result it turned out that I failed by one point. I was devastated. My husband too was disappointed, he got on the telephone and was told that I could retake the test, but it was time for me to go to work. At work I asked for the time, I not only got the time, but also found out I didn't have the money with me at all. My supervisor loan me the cash. At the testing center I prayed and repeated the Bible verse in 2Chron. 1vs10, when I pray this time my heart was open, humble and within my soul I know I really needed God. I put all my faith in God at that moment. I came out of that testing center with grades much, much higher than I expected. I must say to God be the glory great things He has done. Pauline Linthicum

Three Part Miracle - (April 11, 2006)
To 3ABN Staff: This is a three part letter of a miracle. I am an S.D.A.; a part-time Literature Evangelist. Some weeks ago I had taken my car into the shop to get an estimate for repairs on the left brake. They told me how much it would be and I said, “well, I’ll have to wait until later to have the work done.” Several months went by and still there was no money for the repairs. I mentioned in a letter to one of my brothers about the brakes. Back came a letter from this brother, and he said to get an estimate again and tell him how much it would be. So when I took the car to the shop they said both brakes on the left and right rear needed to be done to be done right. O, dear, I thought, here we go as I saw the dollar signs in my mind getting bigger. I sent the estimate and the letter to my brother. And very shortly the check came back. Praise God!! So on Wednesday, I took the car to the shop and in a few minutes the mechanic came to the waiting room, and he said, “see this brake, it was ready to come apart”! “No,” I said, “my guardian angel goes with me and that wouldn’t happen.” And praise God it didn’t!! I drove the car for about 5 months with the brake light on, telling me the repairs needed to be done. Can’t you just see me driving the car down the streets and this big tall angel holding his hand over the brake so it didn’t come apart? O, how I praise and thank Jesus for His protection, for His sending the guardian angel to protect the car. How I praise His holy name. Last Friday I had a few minutes between clients and ran into the store for some bananas. At least that is what I thought I would do. But I saw Elizabeth, I ask her how Mary, her sister, was. Her sister, Mary, was a patient of mine when I worked at the hospital. Then she told me that Mary had passed away about a year ago. I began to encourage her and then said, “Mary is resting in the grave.” And Elizabeth said, “until Jesus comes.” I was so astonished at this because Mary and her sister were raised Catholics. And she made several other comments all of which were Bible-based and were not what the Catholics usually believe. Then she told me that she was still watching 3ABN, and she said, “it is such a comfort to me.” O, how I praise God for this encounter in the grocery store. Please pray for me as there are other situations I am dealing with. Pray that God would help me to manifest the spirit of Christ. I had forgotten to mention that I had one day in my canvassing sold a couple of our books to Mary and Elizabeth. So we praise God for that. God bless, Lena Wagner

Thank You - (March 23, 2006)
Hi, my name is Maima Nera and I am from Simbu Province in Papua New Guinea. I am a new convert Seventh Day Adventist and I go to a local church called WILD LIFE SDA CHURCH in the capital city of Port Moresby. The name sounds funny but we are located near a Wild life Sanctuary so that is how we got this name. What prompted me to send this email is that I am so proud of what 3ABN is doing for human race. I am always so blessed by watching your shows on TV and I HIGHLY PRAISE the STAFF for a job well done. Thanks be to God! Your shows reveal the truths from the bible which many churches in my country deceive their congregation. Now people can see which way they are heading? Is it God's direction or Human direction? People now have the choice to make and once again thanks for REVEALING BIBLE TRUTHS for salvations sake. Keep up the good work and may the Lord richly bless this station to help prepare for the Lord's Harvest time. Yours in Christ, Maima Nera

Safe Traveling Mercies Through Life - (March 18, 2006)
Although I must admit that my prayer life in general is nowhere near where it should be, I always remember to pray before I get behind the wheel of a car for "safe traveling mercies.” I thank God for never letting me down. I recently took a short vacation alone to San Diego, CA, and rented a car. When I got the car, I noticed that it drove a bit sluggish, but I just figured I was expecting too much from an economy car with a small engine. It took a while to get up to speed on the freeway, and rattled a bit, but nothing major. On the third day of my trip, I woke up before dawn, intending to take a long drive about 100 miles north to Los Angeles. I had just got through praying for safe traveling mercies as the car was warming up, when I suddenly felt inclined to just turn the car off and go back to my room. I decided that day to visit a museum not too far from the hotel instead. Suddenly on the way back from the museum, the transmission started to fail on the car. I had trouble making turns, and was praying just to get it the short distance back to the hotel. I decided to have faith and take it the short distance on the freeway, staying in the right lane. By the time I got to my exit, the car couldn't even get up to the speed limit. My hotel was right off of the exit, and I made it all the way into a space before the transmission totally died. I had to get it towed back and exchange cars, and I was thankful for safe traveling mercies, knowing that it was no coincidence that the Holy Spirit warned me against trying to go to LA that morning. The testimony does not end there. The rental car agency called a week later and was trying to get me to say that I had been in an accident or had damaged the car which is a lie. As I type this, I am still disputing with them. I am claiming "safe traveling mercies" right through the lies and tricks of the devil, and thanking God ahead of time, no matter what happens. I know that I was innocent and that God surely protected my life and continues to for a reason, and now I have peace. We have to remember that Jesus was also lied against and we are no better than Him, but all things still work together for good in the end. If this brings me closer to God, then I thank Him for the hassles that I'm going through right now. I thank God for showing me that safe traveling mercies apply not just to our physical journey, but also to our spiritual one. Kevin P.

Answered Prayers - (March 16, 2006)
Praise God for the prayers of our brothers and sisters here in our home church and in other parts of the world. God continues to give healing to my elderly mother, who recently had pneumonia and who has been diagnosed with Alzheimer's. I have concerns about care she has had prior to being placed in this recent facility. God has heard my prayers. Please continue to pray with and for us. Rose C.

Thanking 3abn for the Prayers - (March 11, 2006)
We have sent prayer request to 3ABN before and we are so thankful to God and all the brothers and sisters who prayed for us. .I had a miscarriage twice, but now I am a mother of my beautiful little girl baby, Adventa Grace. Prayers have immeasurable strength, and when from heart we pray for others, it’s even stronger because it is answered by gracious father. We received an e-mail from a pastor, whom we never knew, told us that he prayed for us, we were so happy. We dedicated our little princess on 17-2-04 in Kuwait SDA church. We are daily praying for some family. May Gods grace be upon 3ABN through which god blesses us abundantly. Thanks and regards. Reena

God Helps - (March 2, 2006)
I ran out of gas for my stove and had no money to buy more. I prayed to God and asked Him for help. I turned on my stove and it worked even though the tank was empty. It lasted four months--until I was able to buy more gas. I thank God for this miracle and want to share this testimony to the world. Basthy, O.

We Watch 3abn All the Time - (February 28, 2006)
I just would like to say thank you to 3ABN. I was first introduced to 3ABN about 3 years ago. My now wife and I we're visiting with some friends one Sabbath after church and they had 3 ABN on. We watched a few programs that day while we we're there. Now my now wife was a good friend of mine at that time. We had dated back and fourth several times but had never got very serious about marriage. We had started going back to Church again at a small Church called Kingfield SDA just out of Franklin, Tennessee. WE have been remodeling on the Church with the Pastor and a few more members. My wife now had to move out of her rental home because she didn't have any more funds which to pay rent. I had asked her to stay with me if she wanted. I had a 3-bdrm home and she could have her own room and everything she needed there. We talked about this and knew it wasn't the right thing to do in God's eyes though. She moved in with me and after a few weeks, we decided that we needed to discuss this situation with our Pastor. Lee, my wife hadn't been moved in but a few days I decided to get 3ABN, we had Direct TV but we couldn't get 3ABN through them. I cancelled Direct TV and got dish and sky angel. I had to pay a penalty to cancel direct TV! We discussed the situation with our pastor and he said, "Why don't you two just get married?” WE looked at each other, she kind of grinned, and I did too. We couldn't wait to get home and turn on 3ABN and watch someone talk, we love to hear Mark Finley, Kenneth Cox, Steve Wohlberg, Shawn Boonstra, And Hal Steenson and Pastor John too. We can't get enough of you!! Anyway, to say the least we got married on Lee's birthday. On November 15, 2005 we we're baptized first and then married that same night. What a night to remember, and our little church was so big that night and busting at the seams with friends. Lee and I make the 9th and 10th members of our little church. We are working very hard to make our little church bigger for all the people we are expecting soon. Lee and I are starting bible studies at our home really soon and are getting the book The Ten Commandments Twice Removed to pass out to everyone we meet and have over. And yes, 3 ABN will be on at our house. We just want to say thank you, 3ABN you have made a big difference in our lives. Donnie and Lee W. - Tennessee

Prayers Answered - (January 17, 2006)
Thank you so much for your prayers for our daughter Jennifer Davenport who was told by her Doctors after having an ultrasound test of the abdomen that she had an endometrioma on her right ovary and a teratoma on her left ovary. While spending the weekend with her parents Jennifer reports she had been having a great deal of pain on the left side until after Saturday night. Jennifer reports pain went away Saturday night and she didn’t feel pain again on left side. Jennifer went for a surgical consult on Monday and was sent Tuesday for more scans this time she took contrast medium to visualize her body structures better. Jennifer's surgery was scheduled for Thursday. Jennifer's husband Mike called Wednesday before starting to Knoxville Tn. for the surgery and told us Jennifer had told him she waned to be re-baptized because she was so young when she was baptized and in church school, she didn't understand the meaning of baptism. Jennifer was re-baptized. Her dad said this was a answer to prayer for him because he had been praying for her. Jennifer's Doctor told her before the Surgery he was more optimistic about her surgery. The Knoxville Adventist Pastor came in just before Jennifer went for her Surgery, the nurse reported they had just called down Stairs for the Hospital Chaplain because they didn't think she had anyone. It was just as if God was taking care of everything. Everything was falling into place. When the Surgery was over the doctor reported he was able to save Jennifer's Reproductive System. The doctor reported Jennifer had two Endometriomas the one on the left was the size of a football and he drained both cyst. When Jennifer was taken to her room, her husband Mike gave her the good news. Jennifer said I know the lord changed my Teratoma into a Endometrioma Saturday night because I didn't have anymore pain after that, Jennifer has a B.A. in Spanish and was going to Teach. We prayed for over a year for the Lord to lead her in the direction he wanted her to go with her Spanish to do his will. Jennifer changed her mind about Teaching and went into Nursing. There were many prayers answered when she was trying to get into Nursing. Jennifer plans going for a Nurse Practitioner and helping the Mexican people. Please pray for Jennifer to regain her strength and heal fast from her Surgery. Jennifer was afraid she would have to drop out of her nursing this Semester. The Nursing Teacher told her she could take three week off and she would get another student to take notes for her. This was an answer to prayer. The Teacher told her to ask admissions to put her classes back on the computer. We have been praying she doesn't have a problem with the admission office. We would like to thank Garland D. and his four Churches and all the Churches and People who prayed for our Daughter and all the Adventist workers. Most of all Praise the Lord for his healing and may he lead Jennifer to do his will with her life. Thanks to everyone - Pam &Ted S. of The Seventh Day Adventist Church of Konnarock Va,

He Found Me - (January 14, 2006)
I was born in England, raised in Canada. As an Anglican teenager, I taught Sunday School. By the time I joined the workforce, I was no longer attending any church. As a single parent, I raised 2 children.... without having them baptized. I thought the decision to follow Jesus was a personal choice and needed to be made as an educated, conscious decision. I took my children to churches of various denominations so that they had exposure to different doctrine. Never heard of SDA. And did not know that there was a whle group of people who also allowed their children to make this decision for themselves. After patiently waiting for 15 years, i was successful in obtaining a job in Anguilla. Anguilla is a dot in the Caribbean Sea. I smoked. I drank. I had boyfriends. I did not feel 'good enough' to go to church. I don't know why but I stopped drinking. And many times I would try to stop smoking. I did not like the taste; I did not like the smell; I knew the health risks associated with smoking.... but I continued to smoke. One day I woke up, did not feel like a cigarette and have not smoked since. Nothing I did.... definitely the Holy Spirit at work in me - even tho I did not know Him. He was getting me ready. My daughter, a teenager herself then, attended a crusade because she was attracted by the music... she loved to sing. I had gone two or three times when a topic had an interesting title. Jessica decided to be baptized. I attended the service on the last Sabbath to show support of her personal decision. Pastor lined all the candidates at the front and then made a call for others. I stood at my seat with tears streaming down my face as he continued to call. I thought he was calling me, and he would not stop. I could not accept his offer as I knew there were vows involved. How could I possibly make a commitment without knowing what it was I was committing to? So I stayed in my seat, drained. I went home, got the Book on SDA beliefs and purchased my first Bible (in 1991) and I studied. When I understood the doctrine and satsisfied myself that this was a commitment I wanted to make, I contacted my Pastor and was baptized into the SDA family. My son soon followed. I was able to see how our Father had worked in my life, IN SPITE of me! At no time had He let me out of His sight. He allowed me to wander, to learn from my mistakes, and He brought me back to the safety of His fold. I praise Him. 'O Shepherd Divine' is one of my favourite hymns... the search in the night was for ME. It is these experiences that make me who I am today. It is because of them that I can reach out to others in total confidence that Jesus is waiting for them too, regardless of past or current status. Being forgiven feels soooo good! It is my aim and desire to walk ever closer to God I have a strong will which I have to surrender on a daily basis. I tried it my way... it didn't work. I have found God's plan for my life so much better then my own. I encourage all to learn, to accept and to share. The feeling of being loved; the feeling of being lovable; the feeling of loving a God who is worthy to be praised.... I wish that upon everybody. I am in love and want the world to know! Caroline, D.

Missing Debit Card Found - (January 7, 2006)
On January 5, 2006 I asked you, and others, to pray that God would help me to find a missing debit card of mine, replaced and deactivated but still potentially harmful to me if found by the wrong person. God did helped me to find it, the following day. Glory to God, and thank you for your prayers. James, B.

How God Used Your Special Holiday/Christmas Program - (December 26, 2005)
Dear Staff at 3ABN, Just want to tell you how I believe God inspired me to reach others around me, using your Holiday Special Christmas Program. I live in a small tourist place with only about 5000 people with surrounding areas spread over 10 km square. When I watched your first Family Holiday Special idea came into my mind to record it and share with friends, neighbors and even home for the aged and hospital staff. And when Kenneth Cox's Special program came I did that too, putting them together or separate and made out many videos and DVDs and took them personally to people in my area as a Christmas present. All of them were graciously and joyfully received. One lady, who is a tourist, is also interested to see and may be put up the Dish and she lives i700km from here. Before the Christmas came here, I also made DVDs, sent them overseas, and had good response. So I want to share with you how grateful to the Lord I am for the ideas that came to my mind and the good will of the people to accept them and for the highest quality program that you have put together in such an intelligent and tactful way. I also want to add that I have put your website on the DVDs and gave them flyleaves with full information on the 3ABN program which Rosemary and John sent me earlier. All in all, I have distributed over 35 leaflets on 3ABN and encouraged three friends here in Victoria to install them and they are glad they did it. I am lending recorded programs to many all over the place. May the Lord richly bless you and establish you firmly in the Truths of His word, keep you on the straight and narrow and keep your names in the Book of Life, is my prayer for you all. Yours in His Service Ruth

Saved By God's Grace - (December 19, 2005)
On the morning of the 10th of November I was about to go out of the door of my home to do some shopping in a city one hour away and a voice said to me twice very clear and commanding "Get down on your knees and pray for God's protection today" Of course, I felt compelled to obey, straight away got down on my knees, and not only prayed for myself but all my family. Then I thought no more about it, got in the car and drove about 2/3 of the distance and all of a sudden felt very sleepy. Before I knew it, I had fallen asleep. I was going 100km per hour the allowed speed in the country area where I was. Well, I went over the other side of the road, 4 meters down into a ditch, continued along the ditch about 28 meters until I hit a concrete culvert where the car turned onto the roof then spun around to face the direction I had come from. It was then I woke up to see steam and smoke coming from under the hood of the car and thought to myself that I had better get out in case the car catches fire. I remember undoing my seatbelt and opening my door. That’s all I remember. Evidently, I had a concussion. I came to a little while later in a hotel, which was about 100 meters down the road. I was very confused and didn't know where I was or what happened. I was told by the hotel owner that a truck driver stopped and helped me up the bank and walked me to the hotel. He handed me over to a man who was mowing a lawn. The driver just said, "I have to go now I'm in a hurry," got in his truck and disappeared. The hotel owner and the man mowing the lawn said there was no writing or name painted on the truck to identify it. The people had never seen the man before or the truck. They said he was very tall and fair. We live in the Bay of Islands that has a small population so any businesses and people are pretty well known in the area. We have tried to find out more details but to no avail. I have a feeling he could have been my guardian angel. If I was conscious, there is no way I could have walked even a few meters I was in so much pain with my back injury. An ambulance came and took me to hospital where they kept me under observation for 5 days. God spared me from serious injury. I had massive bruising but nothing major. I thank God every day for His saving me. I'm so glad He has given me another chance. What if I hadn't listened to that voice? I feel I would have been killed for certain, as the car was a complete wreck and many people have marveled that anyone could come out alive. Please pray that God will lead my husband and me as we seek to be used in the saving of others for His kingdom. Thank You , TG

The Power of Prayer - (December 8, 2005)
I had emergency surgery on 9/18/05 for a ruptured duodenal ulcer. The Lord is bringing me through that ordeal with healing and comfort. On Monday 12/05/05, I was impressed to call 3ABN for prayer for the Lord to get me through a test I had to have on Wednesday, 12/07/05 for a colonoscopy and endoscope. The devil was putting lying thoughts in my mind due to my recent surgery. The Pastor prayed for healing and comfort, which the Lord gave me in answer to prayer. Up until driving to the hospital Monday morning, I was struggling to fight the devil's lying thoughts. My husband had asked me on Tuesday, where all the bills were, etc. I pay the bills, and this put in my mind that I wasn't going to make it. I kept praying and seeking the Lord's promises and rebuking the Devil, and the Lord gave me peace driving to the hospital. Praise Him. Also, everything went fine with the tests, and I had excellent results - NO POLYPS, NO CYSTS AND NO VISIBLE SIGNS OF CANCER!!! Praise to the Lord. We must trust the Lord, as He knows the end from the beginning. He is an awesome God and is always with His children. We must seek Him, pray, and abide in Him always!! Thank you, God and 3ABN for being there to pray with God's little children!! Wendy M.

Improvement in Marriage - (December 3, 2005)
I had asked 3ABN to pray for my marriage because it was falling apart. Since that request, there have been great changes. In fact, God has revealed to me that if I do not forgive and begin rebuilding our relationship, it would even jeopardized my children's and husband's eternal future. Please continue to pray for us so that our home can be an example of a Christian home. Thank you again. Barbara H.

Listen To 3abn - (November 21, 2005)
I started going to the Seventh Day Adventist church in my area in 2001 due to a strong desire to observe the whole commandments, with a focus on the 4th. I am in agreement with the 28 Beliefs of the Adventist faith. I was raised a Baptist and I read my Bible through yearly. I joined the SDA Church in 2004. I do travel frequently and am able to attend church during my travels. I find them to be a blessing. I enjoy listening to 3ABN while I am in Volcan, Chiriqui, Panama. I tune in on the start of the Sabbath through Sunday. I just want to say thanks for your radio broadcast that I can pick up on the internet. Allen R.

Tv Surprise - (November 19, 2005)
My son told me this story about what happen when he and another young man Mike A. went to encourage Mike's brother Mark A. Mark's wife had just recently left him and had taken almost all of their things. One thing that she did leave with Mark was a very old TV set. After visiting for a while the young men thought they would try the old TV and see what it would pull in. They didn't expect to find much because there was no cable or satellite hookup, no antenna or even rabbit ears! Imagine their surprise to pick up 3ABN (and only 3ABN)! Not only that, but Lyle Albrecht was preaching a sermon on how to make it through the tough times. The fellows all cried and prayed together thanking God for the encouragement that only He could have given them. Thank you Lyle Albrecht and 3ABN for making these broadcasts that God can use in many ways. Winnie S.

Answered Prayer for Son - (November 18, 2005)
Dear Pastors I want to praise God for you and your faithfulness but also for 3ABN. You have helped me grow so much, thanks to God's Spirit. I just started a prayer journal that I have been putting off doing. My first prayer request was for a son and his wife that was told they had two weeks to move due to the house they rented being sold. I was so afraid that they would be homeless before they could find an apartment. Praise God, they have already been accepted in a new apartment and do not need the huge amount of money I was sure they would need. Three days passed by from my prayer to the answer. God was already working for their good. Please pray that God will "fix" my daughter-in-law's problem with God's Sabbath. She's been so afraid to ask. She's been homeless before and it's so frightening to her. I believe God is also giving my son a new job. Praise Him. He is sooo good. Betty G

He Is Faithful!!! - (November 13, 2005)
God has been so faithful to me. I just completed my secondary school, after six years. After sitting for the final exam, I complained about some of my papers for fear that I had failed. However, I continued to trust God. Then after several days, it was announced that those papers had been cancelled. I had the opportunity to re-write those papers and came out with flying colors, praise the lord! Ochife, W.

God Has Brought Me Out of Bondage - (November 3, 2005)
I want to thank the Lord for bringing me out of bondage and bringing me into His marvelous light. I had been a Seventh-day Adventist all my life, but being young, you sometimes you want to do whatever you feel, well that was me. I was in a bad relationship and really wanted out and change my life, and worship the Lord the way I should. Every time I tried to get out, the devil would just pull me right back. I have to say, when the Lord sees that you are willing, He will help you once you are sincere.

The Lord works in mysterious ways, He sent someone into my life to lift the veil from my eyes, and thank God that I can clearly see now. I gave my life to Christ and ever since, I'm praising the Lord. I'm on fire for the Lord, and now I want to tell everyone about His love and mercy. I'm a new creature, praise the Lord. We have to read our bibles and pray more than ever, because this the only way we can beat back the powers of darkness. If the Lord can help me, He can help you too. I thank the Lord for my trials because they only made me stronger. Thank you Jesus. Michelle A.

Praise - (October 31, 2005)
On October 22, 1966, our mission service ended abruptly. We were in the middle of our 3rd term of service in the Pakistan Union. At 2:00 a.m. on a Sabbath morning, my husband was shot through the middle of his brain. He should not have lived. No one with the severity of his kind of injury has been known to live. Although God allowed it, He arranged miracle after miracle to save his life. This past Oct. 22 made 39 years since his injury. It was also a Sabbath. We praise the Lord for His wonderful care over us these many years even though he is terribly disabled. April 23, 2003, our home burned down--total loss. Praise the Lord that Bob had had to go to the hospital a few hours before. He might have lost his life otherwise. He is now in a nursing home. Again, praise the Lord for His mercies. Actually, the loss of the home was really a blessing in disguise. It was time for me to give up his care. I had nothing to dispose of or transport in our move from Arkansas to Oklahoma. This place is a great place to live. It is owned by the Oklahoma Conference. We have homes plus a church & nursing home [under one roof] all here at the Retirement Village. Again, praise the Lord! Betty E.R.

Crowns for You & Me - (October 28, 2005)
I was a transfer dump truck driver, and I had just picked up a load of topsoil. As I drove from the site, a field of yellow flowers caught my eye and I decided to stop and pray. I got out of my rig and walked into the field, praising God for the beauty I could see all around me. The sun was shining through mountainous clouds. Besides the flowers, there were ducks in a pond, cattle in the field, and rolling hills all around me. I walked out into the field and settled to my knees to offer prayer. As I finished lifting my hands in praise to God and praying, I looked at the yellow flowers all around me and picked some to take home to my wife. There was a coloring of lavender under these wildflowers that I saw were small flowers. I had never seen a flower formed as these little lavenders were. There were no petals, just a raising of the flower from the stem. The shape reminded me of cloth crowns I had seen on pictures of medieval Kings. I praised God anew for the crowns at my feet. Here in a field of nature God showed me again that He is God and He blesses those who praise Him. I never would have seen the crowns but for kneeling in prayer to my God. I pray God bless you with crowns also. Joe P.

Good Health & Life - (October 24, 2005)
The Lord has provided me with good health and life. So I would just like to thank him for his most precious gift that he provides me with daily. William J.

Cancer Free - (October 24, 2005)
After I was diagnosed with cancer, I decided to call the 3ABN prayer line. I listened in awe to the most beautiful prayer I had ever heard. This was a sacred pleading from the heart of this Pastor to the throne of grace for the healing of my cancer. I want the world to know that I am now cancer free. I’m not in remission; I am cancer free; I am cured. This is a miracle. I had refused chemo and radiation putting my trust in God and natural treatments. I feel so unworthy of such love and mercy from our Holy God. I can’t praise Him enough! I have more time now to win my nine grandchildren to the Lord. Thank you, thank you, dear Pastors. May you continue to bless the souls who need you, through the love and power of our Savior. Lovingly and gratefully yours, Lucille, L.

God Saved My Life! - (October 24, 2005)
I just wanted to share a personal miracle that has recently changed my life completely. Born into an SDA family, I was always raised in church and have always been a Christian, but did drift completely away from a Christian lifestyle. After a divorce, physical injuries, and other personal problems, I was suffering from severe depression and in a selfish act attempted suicide on April 1, 2005. I took a lethal dose of medication, wrote a note and waited to die. My Grandmother, Cynthia C, who is an SDA member and good Christian was busy preparing a dish for a potluck the next day. All of a sudden, she felt a complete sense of urgency to drop everything that minute and call me right then. She did, and I somehow answered the phone. She rushed to my house called 911 and my life was saved. The Dr.'s confirmed that I would have died had she not called when she did. Even a couple of minutes could have changed the outcome. My Grandma has always prayed for all her children and grandchildren that were not living for the Lord, obviously it was He who influenced her to call and who saved me in the lowest point of my life. He certainly has a plan for me as my longtime friend Danny Shelton told me without even knowing this story. My most sincere thanks go out to my Grandma, Danny Shelton, and especially Tommy, Carol, and Valerie Shelton who have all been very key individuals in the help of my healing process without even knowing this story (with the exception of my Grandma) and of course most importantly God. I am doing great now emotionally and spiritually! Sincerely, Julie B.

Kara Jane Made It Through! - (October 15, 2005)
Dear 3ABN Staff, I have been asking you for prayer for our grand daughter Kara Jane C. She had major heart surgery. It became really bad several times. Upon calling and e-mailing you and other Saints for prayer, within one or two hours, Kara would turn the corner for the better. Today she was moved from ICU, to Recovery where she is setting up holding a small piano, and hitting keys. Praise God, Praise God! Thank you all so much for your prayers! Thank you. I praise God for this miracle! In Christ, Pastor and Mrs. Atkins

Praise To the Lord - (October 8, 2005)
I want to praise God for the 44 precious souls who surrendered their lives to Christ and followed Him in the waters of the baptismal pool last night (10/08/05) in Brixton, England. These baptisms followed a 3 week meeting title “Better Days are Coming,” with visiting Pastor Tele… and assisted in the water by Pastors Will… & Aka… On the closing Sabbath night (10/08/05) of the Brixton Seventh-day Adventist Church meetings, 4 more people surrendered theirs lives to Christ and will also be baptized. Pamela M. England

Unfortunate, But Blessed - (September 26, 2005)
After 32 days of unconsciousness, I awoke with my legs and hands broken in four places--caused from an accident while serving as a police officer. However, I was still alive—God is great. God was so gracious by bringing 3ABN into my life through the internet on my computer at just the right time. I not only began to watch 3ABN, but I now share my tracks, cassettes and video tapes as gifts to others because of the gift God has given to me. I want to tell the world; my life now belongs to Jesus and I spend my time working for Him. I spend my time praying, fasting and committing myself to a relationship with my Lord, hour upon hour and day by day. I thank God for 3ABN, Danny Shelton and the God-fearing staff working to spread the gospel. It is my desire for others to be brought into His Kingdom, because time is so short. Jesus is coming soon, so please be ready. David C.

Transformed - (September 23, 2005)
Each day, since giving my life to the Lord, my life has been a new walk with my God. I praise Him with my mouth first thing on awaking, and praise Him all the daylong. His Spirit has shown me truth and love. I see that God is doing a good work in me and my job is to have faith in His word and to flee from evil. His regenerating power, which no human eye can see, begets a new life in the soul and creates a new being in the image of God. If the heart has been renewed by the Spirit of God--that life will bear witness to the fact. The Holy Spirit will bring light and transforming power to every soul that is born of the Spirit. I am a new creation—transformed, and you can be also! Since I died to self and this world, I am now assured that I can live for Christ. I strive each day to put on the full armor of God and use the sword of the Spirit (the Word of God) to witness to those around me, that God is in me, and wants to be in them. God’s put my feet upon His path and now I look neither behind me nor to left or right. His path is ever before me and as long as I follow that path, it will lead to Him. I’ve been transformed. Joe P.

Saved By God - (September 18, 2005)
I am 36 year old. I just thank God for saving my life and because I am now a child of God. It was a time when I was walking in darkness, without any end of my life, just living and that's it. But God sent me a person who really cared about my life. He told me about God's love and sacrifice, and he told me to challenge God, asking Him to change my life. I was a nonbeliever and I told myself to try this new type of relationship because I do not have anything to lose. In that day God was preparing my heart, and that night He accepted me as His child (praise God) and after that it was a fight for me to face (it still is now.) However, it is not my battle; it is His battle because He took my sins and gave me freedom. Now I am a new born Christian and thank God, I am His child. Thank you and bless you. Somoila D.
