Outpaced!

Until yesterday, I had more friends on Facebook than 3ABN’s Facebook page had fans. Now I can no longer say I am more popular than 3ABN. (Ha ha.) Of course, one look at my modest number of friends, and you will clearly see that this is not because I am a popular person, but because 3ABN’s page had a late start and has had a low trajectory due to inadequate promotion, which are we working to improve.

If you’d like to help promote 3ABN, one way you can do that is by joining our Facebook Cause. This requires you to add the Causes application to your Facebook account, which is a very popular and well-behaved application. With no further action on your part, its presence on your profile simply tells other people that you support the organization(s) of your choice. I’ve added several causes to my Facebook profile, and many of my friends have them too. Of course, you can go further, and easily invite all YOUR friends to add your favorite causes. In this way you become an evangelist for your favorite causes. And, what’s most important, you can donate through the Causes application. As you may know, 3ABN is a donation-supported ministry, and most of our donations are from individuals such as yourself. We receive no income from the various outlets that carry 3ABN, such as DISH Network, local stations, or cable networks. The support of our viewers and listeners is what enables 3ABN to keep reaching more people with the truths for this time.

3ABN Spring Camp Meeting and Ten Commandments Weekend

We had a great camp meeting and Ten Commandments Weekend this year. It’s the first time we combined them and had them here at 3ABN’s Worship Center.

There was a great turnout. I’ve put some photos on Facebook (link below), and then I’ve added a few other photos below that.

The Stubborn TV

Here at 3ABN we often hear stories of people getting 3ABN who shouldn’t be getting it (because they are out of range of a local broadcast, or the channel is not one known to carry 3ABN, etc.), or who find 3ABN in other unusual ways.

We had a short testimony shared in our group worship this morning. There is a couple in Tennessee who have been members of an Assemblies of God church. They had been in the habit of watching various Christian channels on TV. But lately, every time they would change to another Christian channel, within 15 seconds or so, the TV — by itself — would switch back to the 3ABN channel. Eventually they concluded that maybe God wanted them to watch it. Since then they have accepted the Sabbath, and God is surely continuing to lead them into a fuller understanding of truth.

What Happens When You’re Away

When I returned from Sweden, I had two shocks:

First, I learned the sad news that my friend and coworker Kenton Rogers had turned in his resignation. His last day will be May 9, I believe. His family is moving back to the West Coast, to be closer to their relatives. Kenton is a very talented and spiritual person, and will be greatly missed at 3ABN. He plans to start a small publishing house at a location yet to be announced.

That means we are looking for someone to replace him in my department. You can read the job posting announcement on my Xanga blog. If you know of any qualified individuals, please pass the word along. We are looking for people who are professionally employed in graphic design, not hobbyists or persons wanting to enter the field (although we make exception for college graduates with no employment history).
