Tommy Thomas: Today we continue our dialogue with Larry O'Nan that we began last week. Before delving into that conversation, I'd like to share some reflections that have emerged after revisiting our episode a few times. As the one handling post-production duties for this podcast, I typically listen during the edit for technical nuances and formatting concerns, rather than immersing myself in the content. However, I get a second chance to absorb the discussions when I tune in via my podcast app. This usually occurs on Saturday mornings during my long bicycle rides. Alongside other favorite podcasts like Alan Alda's Clear and Vivid, previous Tennessee governor's Phil Bredesen and Bill Haslam's You Might Be Right, Tia Brown's One Question Leadership Podcast, Far East Broadcasting Company's weekly update and other enriching podcasts. During one such ride last week as Larry recounted the early days of Fund Development with Cru, my mind traveled back to 1974 to those nascent beginnings. As a young 23-year-old joining the Crusade staff, my prior fundraising experience had been limited to helping a friend with a critical medical procedure. While this endeavor proved fruitful, it primarily relied on contributions from close acquaintances. Under Larry's guidance, alongside a small team of field reps, I unwittingly became a part of Campus Crusade's foundational efforts in Fund Development. Back then, not only were we tasked with raising our own personal support, but we were instrumental in pioneering the organization's approach to securing substantial funding for specific projects. My tenure with Larry proved to be a master class in various aspects of life and fundraising. From time management strategies to maximizing air travel budgets. And even cultivating relationships with affluent donors predominantly in their senior years. Those lessons were invaluable. Little did we know that we would be trailblazers in Campus Crusade's fundraising efforts, contributing to the trajectory of Larry's enduring career. Looking back, I'm deeply grateful for those formative years and the profound insights into both fundraising in life that Larry had parted to me. Let's pick up where we left off last week. [00:02:40] Tommy Thomas: Take me into your new book, Intentional Living and Giving. What was the genesis of that? [00:02:48] Larry O'Nan: The genesis came back from this study when I was assigned the job of writing to come up with Stewardship Theology. I did another book in the mid 80s called Giving Yourself Away, and in many respects, this is a revision of that, although it's a totally different package, but it was still basically all the same core theology. And a few years ago, I was in Ireland for an event, And some people in Britain were saying there's nothing that's really distinctive that we know about this, simple to understand about what stewardship's about, because there's a lot of misconceptions out there. And there's a lot of traditions that would get in their way. [00:03:30] Larry O'Nan: In Great Britain, years ago there was a guy there that started orphanages. And he had about 300 kids in the orphanages in Bristol. And as he was working with these kids, he was a great marketer, but he was known for praying things in. So, he'd go into his closet and pray. And then people decided that his style of raising funds was the way they would adapt. So, they would say we're not going to ask for money. We're going to go pray for it. What they don't tell you is the story of how well he was at marketing where the kids were living. And everybody knew where he was located, and he was out all the time talking about the kids in need. [00:04:13] Larry O'Nan: So, you'll find that story. And there are some people who say we should never ask for anything. God is the one that provides. We're not going to go that route. So, there's a lot of skewed ideas of what this all means. The book itself, Intentional Living and Giving, is a recap of everything. So, the first nine chapters are the Theology of Stewardship, and then the latter nine chapters are how do you practically apply this in your life. So, we unpack what God's role for man was and what we do, how we respond, how we act, what we should be doing. And then the latter part is here's some very practical things that will help you be successful. And out of the whole book, there's one chapter because everybody expects a book on stewardship to be about money. [00:05:01] Larry O'Nan:  I dedicated one chapter to talk about what money is and how it works and what tithing is and some of those things. But that's one chapter out of 17 chapters. And I really say this is one thing you can give, but there's a hundred other things you can give as well. What are you doing in stewardship? Not what are you doing with your money? And so the book itself is, what I discovered, there's people out there, Tommy, I remember a lady about a decade ago, she was probably in her 60s, maybe 65, and she had tears in her eyes. The context was she'd been married to a pastor, and they'd gone through a divorce, so that was a mess up. [00:05:40] Larry O'Nan: They had been in ministry for years and years. She raised a family of a couple of kids. And her tears in her eyes was I never have figured out my purpose in life. Why did God put me here in the first place? And I thought for 65, you just missed some of the great joy because he was very clear giving you assignments and work. You just didn't know what day you were a steward. So, she really was fulfilling a stewardship, and everybody knew about it, but she was miserable because it wasn't articulated to her that you are doing what God called you to do.  I think of that lady every once in a while, and I think, boy, if more people understood how they could be a steward and practically implement stewardship in their life, they could go from confusion and fear to thriving and abundant contentment. [00:06:30] Larry O'Nan: And that's what I'm really trying to help people get is I'm trying to help you free yourself up from the confusion and the fear that you probably are living with to wonder if you're doing what God led you to do. Why am I here in the first place? What's all about a life that says I'm thriving? I have an abundance. Nothing about money there, just the abundance of life, and I can be content. So, the book is really unpacking that for the average Christian. I wrote it as much for the international side as I did the American side, but it's a universal challenge that's out there, and that's why the book is you know, on its way out the door. I'm just trying to help people get free so they can thrive. That's what it's all about. +++++++++++++++++++ [00:07:15] Tommy Thomas: Early in your career, and then you took a break from it, and I think now you're back at it, but tell our listeners a little bit about your Andy Ant series. [00:07:24] Larry O'Nan:  I'm a dad. I have two daughters. My oldest daughter was three years of age, and the other one was just coming along. She's about three years younger. One night, Carrie, I read her stories every night when I was home, and I would put her to bed after reading her a kid story. And one night she said, Daddy, I don't want you to read me a story. And I did. I thought this is weird. She says, I want you to tell me a story. [00:07:53] Larry O'Nan: And so I laid down her book that I was going to read to her, and I laid there in bed for a minute, and I said, once upon a time, there was an ant, because I was remembering the book of Proverbs, it said, watch the ant, learn of his ways, my definition is, though he's tiny, he's mighty in many ways, we can learn a lot from ants, how they store, how they work. The diligence, the way they work together in cooperation. I've got a 300-page book on ants, believe it or not. I didn't write it, but the guy did his doctoral thesis on ants. And I thought that's an interesting one. But anyway, I started telling my daughter stories and they were really just stories about her and the life she lived about this little character. [00:08:34] Larry O'Nan: And I named him Andy. And she liked Andy Ant. So many nights it would be tell me an Andy Ant story. Now, the Andy Ant stories that are out today, my brother is the author of all the books. We did collaborate on the concept, but he's an attorney in Denver. And I said if you will work on the storylines the way you see him, I'll try to work on the marketing and getting the stories out there and their books for three- to 10-year-old kids. They are the day in the life of a little boy that I didn't create. My brother is basically Joseph Tyler Johnson, the main character. But I, in my world of Andy Ant, it was what Carrie was doing outside and how the ants interrupted her life. And then Jessica came along, and the same thing happened. So, the environment there was learning from the ants and learning principles of daily living in a fun way without being religious. [00:09:32] Larry O'Nan: I wasn't trying to make him memorize verses at that time of day. What did I learn? Andy would play baseball because Carrie had a baseball bat and she played out in the backyard and tried to hit the ball. Andy started hitting the balls in the grass. So, it was crazy. It made no sense. And if for 10 years, Andy existed between Jessica and Carrie and myself, the life came when my brother got involved and created it. We eventually got a former Disney artist who had worked for 21 years for Walt Disney personally, and he did all of the illustrations. So, if you see the Andy Ant work today, there's eight books in the series. [00:10:13] Larry O'Nan: It looks like what you would call Disney evergreen art because it was created by one of the Disney evergreen artists, and he did that. He spent two years of his life working with us on the entire series. He's no longer living, but that's the story of how we got the stories going. So that is out there for kids that really, there's a stewardship element to it because I have trouble giving up on Andy because I'm a steward of Andy. So, I got to take care of this crazy ant. Because that's a responsibility that God gave me. But it's incidental to the other story of really helping people thrive. I'm much more motivated to help you and other people that you might know or other adults. God's really got a purpose. I want you to thrive and do all that God led you to do. [00:11:07] Larry O'Nan: And if I'm doing that and you're doing that, we're going to get along fine. Life will be better for both of us. Yeah. ++++++++++++++++ [00:11:13] Tommy Thomas: You mentioned you just returned from Spain. Are there cultural differences in the way a Latin population would see stewardship or an Eastern European population or does it transcend? [00:11:29] Larry O'Nan: It transcends. I started working with the guy that created this environment that I was a part of. It was the guy that I've mentored for 40 years. And I started training him. He picked up on it. There's another guy in Switzerland that has taken it even further. One of them got into helping missionaries raise their own personal support called Ministry Partner Development. And this conference was centered around helping missionaries do that. Now, I probably met less than a half a dozen Americans there. Everybody else was European. There were 20 countries involved. I met four people from Ukraine. There were people from the Baltic states, across France, Spain, everywhere else. [00:12:13] Larry O'Nan: Some of them were with organizations that you would recognize, but they were the European expression. So Young Life and Navigators and Operation Mobilization and Youth of the Mission were all there. So was Agape Europe, which is the Cru expression of Campus Crusade. But I'd say two thirds of the organizations, I couldn't even figure out how to pronounce their names. They were unique organizations to the culture. Some of them were humanitarian, camping, evangelism, church planting, church growth. And they were all equipped with how they could raise financial support as missionaries within their culture with nobody ever leaving their culture to raise the funding that they need because they're raising money in Spain, in France, in Germany, in Switzerland, in the Netherlands, in Great Britain, in Ukraine, in Hungary, in Czechoslovakia, in Poland. [00:13:10] Larry O'Nan: They're racing the same kind of a thing that you and I would have done, in the seventies with Cru is being done over and over again. And it's not a Cru thing. It's their own unique thing. Everybody that was at that conference was volunteering their time to help others. It was not sponsored by an organization. It was sponsored by a network. And they came together to help, and they keep on training people how to do it. And they're helping the nationals be successful in it. Spain's a unique country. Years ago, when I first went there, probably 40 years ago, I was told over and over again, you can never raise money in the country of Spain. [00:13:53] Larry O'Nan: It's impossible because we don't have the money here. And this guy that was telling me that over and over was making sure that we weren't going to mess up his plan. The Lord took him home. He's probably been gone about five or six years. The generation that came after him learned about what we're talking about in terms of fund development and just said we do not want to be dependent on money from outside of Europe. [00:14:20] Larry O'Nan: We don't want to be dependent on money outside of Spain. And so, this ministry is 100 percent funded now by Spanish funds, and comes in through the Spanish structure. They rarely get any money outside of Spain and rarely any from the United States. That doesn't mean that we don't encourage that when it's available. But it's very unhealthy when an organization becomes codependent on somebody else just to make them work. And the entire European structure is trying to say we do not need funding from the West, i.e. the United States. I say if people want to be generous and help you, accept it.  [00:15:01] Larry O'Nan: But to say that we cannot survive as an organization because we don't have funding from the U.S. They think it is wrong and they need to be responsible. The principle is that every place in the world, God's landed his people and he's got money everywhere. And it's all his. So, let's go find it and let's work with the partners that are there. And if you look at any part of scripture, in fact, the principles that we teach on stewardship came out of the Middle East. They didn't come out of America. These are all biblical principles that came out of a period of time of the Old and New Testament. So, it works as well there. It takes some time, and it takes, I find that sometimes leadership of their organizations is the number one liability to doing it right because they're assigning somebody else to go raise it, but they don't want to go through the pain or the refocus of their attention to do it right. [00:15:58] Larry O'Nan: When I was over in Spain last week, I was saying, get you copies of Intentional Living and Giving, get the dialogue going with your leadership and your board. Because if they're with you, you can thrive as an organization. If they're not with you in this philosophy or theology you're going to be having struggles all the time because they're going to want money faster than the development process will get it to them. Even there, and the book will work there, and it's all in English right now, that's the way the books start typically, if an English person writes it. But I would anticipate in the next two or three years, we'll be in half a dozen languages that will be relevant to the mainstream. You can have about eight languages in the world and be into the marketplace, any place in the world. [00:16:44] Larry O'Nan: Yeah, there's 2000 languages, but those are heart languages. And the economy works in about eight languages. The world economy is there. That's where we're at. And these people, yes, the entire conference in Spain was English. But when they read scripture, they would read it in five languages because somebody in that room knew one of those five languages. So, that's what it was. And it was the generation Z and maybe millennials that were leading the conference. I never spoke once. I just spent a lot of time interacting with the participants there.  And I didn't need to speak because they were doing a better job at doing that than I could ever have done. And it is universal. It can work any place. Some of the largest funding for Christian enterprises currently happens in Asia, not in the United States. +++++++++++++++++ [00:17:37] Tommy Thomas: Let's try to bring this thing to a close. I want to ask you. I don't know that I like the word lightning round because you might want to take longer to answer than a lightning round might incur, but so I'll start with, if you could give a younger version of yourself, a piece of advice, what would it be? [00:17:56] Larry O'Nan: Don't be afraid to fail, work a plan or develop a plan and work the plan. Don't give up. [00:18:06] Tommy Thomas: If you could get a do over in life, what would it be? [00:18:13] Larry O'Nan: If I could do a do over? I probably would have gained understanding of stewardship earlier. I totally tripped over it. I think my life would have been a lot more fulfilled if I'd just known it a couple of decades earlier. [00:18:31] Tommy Thomas: How have you changed in the last five years? [00:18:36] Larry O'Nan: You got to go backoalmost 10 years on my change.  My wife died 10 years ago, and about nine years into that, I said, Okay, I'm very much alive and well and healthy. And I said, instead of retiring, I'm going to reboot and keep on going. That's been the radical changes to my fault. I take on more than I should. But if you have got a responsible bone in your body, you'll probably do that. And yeah, I think that people that quit on anything lose life. I see people retired, but I also see 40-year-olds that quit on a marriage or quit on their kids or quit on something else. I just think stick with it. That I was going to write a book some years back. I may still do something someday with it called The Curve. [00:19:33] Larry O'Nan: Because the only time you really grow is when you're in a crisis situation. And the book, The Curve, was about how you navigate the curves of life. And it's in the curve when you think it's the worst that you're probably going to grow the most. So, embrace the curve and realize that what comes out of the backside of it is going to make you a better person. [00:19:55] Tommy Thomas: What's the best piece of advice anybody ever gave you? [00:20:00] Larry O'Nan: You have the freedom to fail.  I don't think I ever would have done what I did in my years that God gave me here so far if I did not embrace that and just go for it over and over again. I write it down every once in a while when I'm up against the wall. Larry, you have the freedom to fail. Go try it. [00:20:26] Tommy Thomas: It's been a wonderful conversation, Larry.  Thank you. It's good to catch up and we shouldn't wait this long to do it again. [00:20:34] Larry O'Nan: I should come out and someday we have to go out and see what's in your part of the world together. I have fond memories of working with you, Tommy. Fond memories.

Haven has partnered with Far East Broadcasting Company and Mission Eurasia since the first tank approached Kyiv.

For 77 years The Far East Broadcasting Company has faithfully broadcasted the hope of the Gospel around the world. In this episode, you'll hear the amazing stories of a person who was an eyewitness to the early days of FEBC's conversion of the Hmong people. Ed and Wayne will welcome Frank Gray to share his stories of the early days of broadcasting with FEBC and how radio was used to stay “close to the listener.” Hear how the Lord opened doors, directed steps, provided resources and transformed lives through proclaiming the Gospel of Jesus via radio. It's an exciting history lesson that is still bearing fruit for Christ…Until All Have Heard. 

Today, on Karl and Crew Mornings, it was a powerful Freedom Friday. The Gospel was given and many responded! We also heard the testimony of MBI professor and author, Peter Worrall. As we closed "Breakthrough" theme week, he shared only Jesus can give us true breakthrough in our lives. Finally, today is the 1 year anniversary on the invasion of Ukraine by Russia. Victor Akhterov, leader with FEBC, (Far East Broadcasting Company), reported live from Ukraine.

We always thank God for all of you and continually mention you in our prayers. We remember before our God and Father your work produced by faith, your labor prompted by love, and your endurance inspired by hope in our Lord Jesus Christ. —1 Thessalonians 1:2,3   How often do we overlook the words of thanksgiving that the Apostle Paul writes to the churches in Asia Minor? Bob Bowman and Charles Morris believe that we too often race past them. And so as we approach Thanksgiving in the United States, we're bringing back a classic conversation from 2004 on giving thanks.  For anyone who has been around Haven any length of time, Bob Bowman is a name you'll be very familiar with. A founding member of the Haven Quartet and founder of Far East Broadcasting Company, Bob was also the Friday Speaker for Haven from 1967-1984. On this episode, you'll learn more about this history, as well as what both Bob and Charles were thankful for in 2004.  This episode also serves as a window into the past. Haven Today sounded much different in the early 2000's. From the opening jingle to the quartet music that Bob hand-selected for this episode, this is truly a Thanksgiving blast from the past.  As you ponder what you're thankful for this year, we hope this episode points you to all you have in Christ.

Russia's attack on Ukraine. We've all been praying about this crisis. For the Lord to redeem this situation by drawing many people to Himself. That Ukrainians and Russians discover that Jesus is the only true source of peace, safety, comfort, truth, and freedom. That our brothers and sisters in Christ will be protected from harm and be able to minister to others. And also… that Christian broadcasters in this area will be able to encourage believers and share the gospel in this crisis. One of those broadcast ministries is the Far East Broadcasting Company. There are 7 FEBC radio stations in Ukraine. Our good friend Ed Cannon is the president of FEBC and he joins us with an update.

On this episode of Amazing Greats,  we talk with Wayne Pederson a life long Christian, and career broadcaster.  We'll hear about his early conflict between his faith and his passion and how they ended up merging.   At 16 years old he had an  "AH-HA" Jesus moment that shaped the rest of his life.   Wayne's life work centers around bringing the name of Jesus to remote areas of the world to people who had never been exposed to Christianity including some of the  most religiously repressed countries like Russia, North Korea, Mongolia, Indonesia,  Ukraine, Vietnam, Cambodia and Africa.   Not through one time mission trips, but through ongoing live radio broadcasts and live streams.  The work he has dedicated his life to, now reaches millions of people every day with the message of the Gospel.  Wayne currently works with Far East Broadcasting Company and is focusing his life on "Finishing well".  Check out the tree largest organizations that are bringing the Christian Message to millions of people all over the world via radio and streaming.FEBC "Fare East Broadcasting Company"Reach BeyondTWR  Trans World Radio 

Today, on Karl and Crew Mornings, we continued our weekly theme: "The Power of Pain".  We discussed the strength we gain through pain that is only possible by God.  What did God do in your life at a time you persevered through pain?  We heard inspiring stories today.  The scripture reference was James 1:2-4.  We also talked about Far East Broadcasting Company.  An exciting campaign to bring the Gospel through Christian radios to Mongolia is coming up.  Take a listen to the Karl and Crew Showcast to hear some of the best moments from today's show.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Mongolia is full of people searching for hope who have few opportunities to hear the Gospel. Special guests, Ed Cannon and Bat T. from Far East Broadcasting Company join Dawn and Steve Mornings to discuss Project Mongolia. FEBC is on an exciting mission to bring the Gospel to Mongolia with the help of radio broadcasting.  Ed is the president of the FEBC, an international broadcast ministry made up of indigenous broadcasters, close to their listeners, reaching 50 countries in over 145 languages with the Gospel. Before taking over the leadership of FEBC, Ed was the Executive Vice President and Chief Administrative Officer at Moody Bible Institute. Today at FEBC, Ed's focus and heart for ministry are centered on reaching those millions around the globe who are still unreached with the Gospel.  Bat's full name is Batjargal Tuvshintsengel. He was born in Communist Mongolia and was a teenager when the USSR fell and Mongolia's borders opened to the outside world. At that time, there were only 4 Christians in Mongolia, and Bat was one of the first Mongolians to accept Christ. Several years later Bat founded the FEBC ministry in Mongolia and built its first Christian radio station. Today FEBC Mongolia's radio network includes 13 local FM stations.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Bat was one of the first twenty followers of Jesus in atheistic Mongolia in 1990. Now he's on the leading edge of bringing the gospel to all of Mongolia through gospel radio. Bat's vision is to see 24 FM stations blanketing Mongolia with the good news of Jesus! Bat—Batjargal Tuvshintsengel is the head of Far East Broadcasting Company in Mongolia. He's joining the team today along with Ed Cannon, the president of FEBC. First, Bat lived the first 20 years of his life not knowing there is a God, but Jesus found him. Then, Bat shares how the gospel has come to Mongolians through gospel radio since 2000 and how Moody Radio listeners like you have been part of reaching people who had never heard! Next, Ed Cannon shares the vision of reaching the rest of Mongolia by adding another 11 stations and how you can be part of making this happen. Then, it's always been God's plan, since the book of Genesis for all peoples to know the living God. And finally, the reason Ed is involved now in reaching the those who've never heard the gospel is Jesus through Moody Radio! See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Description & Show Notes Meet Sonlight's Mission Agency Partners: Mission India, Pioneers, The Seed Company and Far East Broadcasting Company Since 1990, John and Sarita have had missionary support held in their heart. When Sarita started Sonlight her initial purpose was to enable missionary families to stay one more year on the field. You see, the second most common reason—at least back in 1990—was because they didn't know what to do about their children's education. Sarita knew she could do something about that and she set to work starting Sonlight. This year as part of Sonlight's 30th-anniversary celebration, we are combining the two things that helped start Sonlight; books and missions into our first ever Sonlight Read-A-Thon. Children can raise money for missions, simply by reading great books. And Sonlight will match the donations up to $200,000. Together let's raise at least $400,000 to support the ministry of these participating agencies. To kick off Sonlight Connections: A Homeschool Podcast's second season, Stephanie is talking with the four mission agencies involved in the Sonlight Read-A-Thon, Mission India, Pioneers, The Seed Company and Far East Broadcasting Company.
