I praise God and thank Him for your ministry. I used to live a lukewarm life... watched all sorts of movies both religious and secular in nature, but not 100% in tune with the Bible. Your ministry exposed deceptions such as spiritism, secret societies, etc. Because of this exposure, the Bible Truths have become clearer and simpler to understand. Please pray for my loved ones who belong to secret societies but do not willingly see the danger in them. Please don’t give up sharing God’s truth. It saves lives - like mine. Thank you and God bless you.

We celebrated the 20th anniversary of Amazing Discoveries in 2013! This annual report will give you a snapshot into the past two decades of God’s leading and blessing. None of this would be possible without the grace and guidance of Christ, and the generous contribution of friends and supporters throughout the years.

from the president In 2013, God was good, as He is every year. It was a year of personal health challenges for my wife and I, but God got us through them and despite these obstacles, we were able to record many new speakers for broadcast.

One particular highlight of the year was our new well. Amazing Discoveries had an old shallow well with extremely low pressure and poor quality water. In 2013, we decided to drill for a new well, and we were unsure what to expect, as the quality of water in the surrounding area around Amazing Discoveries generally has water either laced with arsenic or other contaminants. We had to drill 80’ before we hit lots of shallow water. After sending the water to the lab, we learned that this water is one of the highest quality waters in the area - with no contaminants and a good taste. We praise the Lord for another clear sign that He is leading and blessing Amazing Discoveries and wants this work to continue here in this semi-rural location. It is both comforting and humbling to know that we are working within God’s will here Amazing Discoveries.

Despite a back surgery that halted my further work on the AD Building for a while, we praise God that He enabled us to add an additional office for our growing number of staff and to begin renovations on the kitchen with the help of our board director, Mark Kiefiuk.

We also were thankful that Walter Veith was able to stay for 2 months recording sermon updates and segments for our new documentary Enmity, a project that will take the same information in Total Onslaught and present it again with updates in documentary style.

Many new speakers were also added to air on ADTV, and Victor Gill was strengthened to go to Ukraine for another evangelistic series this year, along with more evangelism in Colorado and in Barriere, BC. The progress in 2013 shows us that God is leading despite whatever challenges and obstacles may be in our path, and that He is a kind and good God, giving us only that which we can bear and no more, allowing us to take rest when needed, while still moving us forward.

our message: We believe that God has entrusted us with the Three Angels’ Message to spread to a world caught in great deception! It is a solemn and worthy calling and we recognize the honour entrusted to not only us, but to all God’s people living in these last days. It is a privilege to be permitted to share this important message and to provide truth to the many souls ensnared in Satan’s lies. We continue to pray for God to enable this message to reach further and further.

Greetings to you in the name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. We want to thank you as a family for your powerful messages as you proclaim Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior and soon coming King. We do appreciate the thoroughness of the messages. These messages, with the aid of the Holy Spirit, help us to enjoy a deeper relationship with God and a greater understanding of His word. We want to encourage you to keep up the good work amidst the persecution and discouragements, remembering that God said all who live godly will suffer persecution. - Cirilian Had it not been for Pro Veith’s teaching, I would have left the SDA Church long ago! His encouragement has meant so much!! - James and Mary

our PAST

from

In 1992, Wenzel and Dagmar Goubej took their family on a vacation in South Africa. One Sabbath, they attended church where they met a newly-baptized Seventh-day Adventist and former atheist. His name was Walter Veith.

After getting to know Walter a little better and hearing his personal testimony, the Goubej family was inspired to invite this dynamic speaker to come to Canada to share his story and presentations with a secular audience. After some thought and prayer, Walter accepted the invitation, and plans were set for a public campaign the following year: 1993.

With reckless faith, Wenzel and Dagmar rented the Massey Theatre in New Westminster, BC, which had seating for 1260 people. When Walter started his creation seminar, the hall was filled to capacity for the first time in its long history!

When Walter started to teach about the mark of the Beast and the identity of the Antichrist, he noticed that part way through the lecture, a young man with Down

syndrome entered the theater. Walter also noticed that some people in the audience were not happy about his message. At intermission, they surged around him. One grabbed the microphone and announced, “The Papacy is not the Antichrist. This man is the Antichrist!” Walter feared that he would be assaulted. But, God would not allow His messenger to be harmed. As soon as the disruptions began, the Down syndrome youth climbed the stairs up to the stage, elbowed his way through the crowd surrounding Walter, and wrapped his arms around Walter in a protective embrace. No one dared assault him with this child blocking the way. Night after night, the young man was there.

Night after night, he came up to Walter and shielded him from harm.

Walter wondered about his young protector. Each night he arrived alone. He must live very nearby, Walter thought, for him to come unescorted so regularly. Near the end of the series, the presentations were moved to a church across the city. Walter felt sure he’d never see the young man again.

How could a youth with such limited abilities navigate the large city on his own via public transportation? To Walter’s surprise, on the last night of the presentations at the new location the young man with Down syndrome appeared

66

again, unescorted, making his way to the front of the church to sit down in an empty seat. Afterward, Walter found himself alone with the young man.

The young man came up to him and wrapped his arms around him, just as he’d done when the menacing crowds were threatening to assault him in the Massey Theatre.

I’m passionate about sharing the message of Walter Veith’s Total Onslaught, so I talked to Amazing Discoveries to see if I could stream the series in Russian in a city in Moldova. It is a Russianspeaking city of 50,000 people. There are about 6000 viewers per day on internet-streaming TV, and even more that cannot be tracked during the two airings on local cable TV in the city during prime time. - Eduardo

Walter stopped what he was doing. He held the young man at arm’s length and asked him, “Are you human or are you an angel?” Looking up, the youth pointed toward heaven. Then he turned and walked away.

our calling: It was 20 years ago when the Goubej family said, “We have to do something more than just attend church on Sabbath. ” They asked the Lord to use their gifts, despite their limitations, and to show how they should serve. Soon after, they met Walter Veith, and God has kept their flame of passion for evangelism strong ever since. It has become a life calling, and the blessings of being in service for the Lord are precious.

our volunteers Don and Marlene Sinclair were trying to sell their Saskatchewan fruit farm. After Marlene had been diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease, management of the farm was becoming too difficult. They prayed fervently for God to show them what to do.

Answers to Prayer A speedy answer to their appeals arrived in the form of an unconditional cash offer to buy the farm. Don and Marlene were thankful one part of their prayer had been answered. But what next? They had always wanted to move to British Columbia (BC), but was it God’s will?

One night Marlene dreamt that she and Don were living in BC and volunteering at Amazing Discoveries (AD). This dream drove them to the decision to visit the province and meet some of the people. While visiting the area, Don and Marlene agreed upon a sign: they would believe the Lord wanted them at AD only if they were asked to stay.

After church one Sabbath, their sign was fulfilled when they were invited to visit AD and asked if they would be willing to volunteer for the Ministry. They were thrilled that God had led them to yet another amazing opportunity to experience His blessings through volunteer work.

A History of Blessing Previous to their time here at AD, Don and Marlene taught English in Russia, and worked with an evangelistic team in India.

10

The Sinclairs have been to over 20 different countries and have led busy and successful professional and personal lives. Don and Marlene are blessed with two children, five grandchildren, and six great-grandchildren. In high school, Don hoped to become a radio and television technician. However, a sudden opportunity to study aviation led him to focus on this area. He met Marlene while working in aviation in Edmonton, Alberta, and the pair has been happily married for 53 years.

Coming Full Circle Don is happy that he is able to use his skill as a technician to help produce and construct the media center for AD. Marlene is blessed daily by her ministry to those in need of prayer and has many stories of incredible answers and interventions as she handles prayer requests for the Ministry.

Don and Marlene are proud to be a part of a Ministry that is truly trying to reach people with a message of hope, and Amazing Discoveries is grateful for their vital contributions to the Ministry’s work. They have become an integral part of our mission.

amazingdiscoveries.org

our amazing community The work of Amazing Discoveries would not exist without its dedicated staff and volunteers.

They make things happen. They willingly lend their hands, heads, and hearts, and with enthusiasm let God use them as His instruments to reach more people with the Gospel. Over the past 20 years, we’ve had several volunteers that have helped our work, especially in the assembly of our DVDs. These include Edith Koch, Elizabeth Bakker and Deanna Minney amongst others who put in countless volunteer hours to further the Three-Angel’s Message.

our PAST

from

A New Building for AD From the inception of the ministry in 1993 all the way until 2010, Amazing Discoveries operated out of the basement of the Goubej home. Nestled in a residential area, the operations grew from a handful of people to almost 15 workers. Every square inch was used to the maximum (see picture below). One staff member even worked in a closet! We were one cozy family of workers with very little space. In 2010, God opened the door for Amazing Discoveries to join the Galaxy 19 satellite network. There was one thing we knew we needed and didn’t have – a studio. But we also knew there was no more room in the cramped little basement, as we were already taking over the rest of the house. Something had to be done. All kinds of options presented themselves, but nothing seemed right. Since God had opened the door for the channel, surely He knew we needed a studio. As we looked around, everything seemed out of reach for our meager funds.

Then one day, Dagmar, who still had her realtor’s licence, stumbled upon an old Mennonite church for sale in a rural area of Langley. It needed work as nothing had been updated for years, but it was workable. We asked God to bless the situation if this

12

was His will, and Dagmar immediately made an offer lower than asking price. The listing realtor laughed at the offer Dagmar presented. He had 3 highly interested parties waiting for their board to write an offer on the building, and his own already written offer was supposed to be presented at 5:00pm at asking price, and he was confident the Mennonite association would want to wait until his own offer came in. Dagmar needed an answer by 4:00 pm as Sabbath was drawing near.

The realtor told Dagmar, “You’re crazy to make such an offer and to expect them to answer you by 4:00. I guarantee they won’t even look at your offer. They will wait until mine comes in. There’s no chance.” If this was from God, perhaps He would grant it, and do abundantly more than we hoped.

We waited nervously, but knowing that God was in charge.

If He wanted this building it would work out. If He didn’t, He would find something else. At 4:10 the phone rang. Dagmar answered and the listing realtor on the other end said, “Dagmar, who are you?”

She asked, “What do you mean?”

“You must know someone in high places. Who do you know?”

She smiled and said, “God. That’s who I know. What do you have for me? ” The realtor answered angrily, “They didn’t even wait for my offer. They did not care about the other 3 customers promising to buy the building. They simply accepted your offer without question! The building is yours. I just can’t believe it!”

We often aren’t sure why we are so privileged to be a part of this amazing ministry, but with a sense of awe we move forward, asking the Lord to always be before us. We solicit your daily prayers for the staff and the mission of Amazing Discoveries – that we will stay faithful and follow the Lord whereever He may lead next.

our productions We are so blessed to have our amazing speakers who lend their voices and gifts of teaching to help us send God’s end-time message across the globe. He also keeps providing us with all we need to make our productions - an office space, a studio and up-to-date technology and equipment.

building updates In 2013 we started two major building renovations. We have partially fixed the once leaky roof, and have started renovating our main kitchen, incorporating a staff kitchen as well. In addition we also invested in new stage sets and a crane for our studio. In 2013, God also blessed us with a beautiful source of fresh water: a newly drilled well providing us with some of the freshest water in our city in more than enough capacity. It has now been 3 years since we moved into the new building. After doing many renovations, Amazing Discoveries now has a lovely little guest house for guests and speakers, a studio for recording and public events, and offices for the increasing number of staff.

In fact, sometimes we feel we have already outgrown this facility and need to start looking for another one. We see God’s hand in the way He obtained the building for us, and His unbelievable blessing as He has helped us increase the programming we now have available for the satellite channel, and the staff needed to operate the ministry.

Daniel Pel 1505: The Shaping Factor (3 DVD Set)

Gerhard Padderatz 1300 : Mega Trends of Our Times (14 DVD Set) Where is the world heading? In this relevant and exciting series, Dr. Gerhard Padderatz discusses the global trends he sees occurring around us.

In this three-part series, Daniel Pel addresses a very important question of what it means to be a follower of Jesus in this ever-changing culture. He suggests that there are many factors in our lives that can shape us, but the culture that surrounds us is in particular a great threat to our identity as children of God. Not only do we let this culture mold us, but even more alarmingly, we often try to shape God to our own liking, distorting His image and hindering the true Gospel.

Pel 1510: Unhindered Gospel (3 DVD Set)

Daniel Gabbert 981: Watch & Pray (DVD) Just before the hour of Jesus’ greatest trial, being crucified, the disciples were given council that was intended

by Christ to prepare them to face the temptation that they would face, seeing their Master being crucified.

Watch and pray that you may not fall into temptation.

Why was it important for the disciples to pray? Dan Gabbert believes that this counsel is valid for us today.

14

The last word in the book of Acts in the Greek New Testament is the word akolutos. The word literally means, “Unhindered”.

Luke, the writer of Acts, intentionally leaves us with the assurance that the gospel Paul and all the other faithful men and women of the first century proclaimed went forth unhindered. Through prisons and angry crowds we trace the birth and growth of the early church. Nothing could stop the gospel from conquering hearts. Yet the last word of the Acts story is to be the watchword of our own story today. What hinders you from experiencing the power of the gospel? What hinders you from proclaiming the kingdom of God? Discover how you can enter the story of Acts today and be part of writing the last chapters of earths history, experiencing the gospel, unhindered!

Randy Skeete 860: Roots of Truth (6 DVD Set) The purpose of this series is to highlight a cardinal rule of Bible study, and that is to “begin at the beginning.” The preeminent example of this approach is Jesus Himself; “beginning at Moses and all the prophets, he expounded unto them in all the Scriptures the things concerning himself” (Luke 24:27).

If all would follow this rule, no one could conclude that Luke 16:19-31 teaches that the dead go straight to heaven or hell, or that 1 Timothy 4: 4-5 authorizes Christians to eat anything.

Did you know that our most popular series Total Onslaught came out in 2004? Since then, this 36-DVD series has touched countless souls, and continues to uncover the truth about the total onslaught on Jesus Christ to this day. Christ’s everlasting message remains the same, but we believe the time is ripe for a reboot project!

O

ur new Total Onslaught re-make documentary project is underway!

This new project entitled Enmity has everyone at Amazing Discoveries very excited, as it is also targeted to the modern secular audience. Unlike Total Onslaught, Enmity will have several contributors. Also our graphics are updated to include 3D motion graphics. Each episode will still be about an hour to an hour and a half in length but in its new format will be more engaging. We are praying that more people will be interested in the important messages of the great controversy between Christ and Satan as a result of this series..

Who’s involved?

Walter Veith, Philip Sizemore, Daniel Pel, Joel Kratzke, and other speakers will be part of Enmity.

What’s it about?

We cannot give everything away, but here’s a sneak peek into episode 1: it involves the concept of the war between good and evil. As we examine this war between God and Lucifer, we are faced with intriguing questions: where did enmity come from? What was Lucifer’s original argument against God anyway?

The entire series follows the core concepts of the original Total Onslaught so that all the important information remains.

Check our blog www.enmitydocumentary.com for updates on this project! And as always, your prayers and support are appreciated! This project will be an expensive one and we are anticipating expenditures over $600,000 before the series is complete. If you wish to donate to this project, please mark your donation “Enmity”.

What did Noah have in common with the saints of today?

Join Phillip Sizemore as he explores Bible prophecy and examines core Bible doctrines like the identity of the Antichrist, God’s day, the judgment, how Jesus fulfilled time prophecy at His first appearance, what happens to people when they die and what the Bible teaches about hell.

Rick Howard 657: The Omega - The Train of Deception Progresses (3 DVD Set) Jesus warned that the supernatural deceptions of the last days would threaten to fool even the “very elect.” The only hope of identifying the subtle forms of deception Satan will use on God’s people is to rely upon divine inspiration.

We marvel at the 20 years of amazing ventures God has sent us on.

Through the many evangelistic and revival series that have been led by our speakers, we have learned patience, endurance and trust in God, and have seen Him lead people to Himself. Pastor Victor Gill and his wife Nettie continue to faithfully lead missions in India and Ukraine, but there is still so much help needed! “As long as God gives me the strength, I will go again,” says Pastor Gill. Will you join him?

Did you know that Victor Gill has travelled to speak in Ukraine over 30 times and India over 10 times in the past 20 years? He preached to over 1700 non-SDA pastors.

Victor Gill getting ready for his trip in 2003.

I have recently come to the realization that I can no longer avoid becoming a Seventh Day Adventist. I have searched and prayed for the truth for so long. After my baptism at the age of 41 it was like an eye opening. I found Mr. Veith online/youtube. Then we got AD on our ROKU. It has all fallen into place. I have realized for about 5 years that SDA was the only church truly following God’s commandments. But it has never been more apparent as now. I have left my old church but do not yet have an SDA church. Not for lack of one near , but for lack of courage. Please pray for me and my family as God leads us down this new path. - Dana

Denver, Colorado 2013 by Nettie Gill Pastor Victor Gill and I travelled to Colorado for his most recent revival series. We arrived in Denver on February 19th, 2013. Our series was held at the First Baptist Church, which the Vista Seventh-day Adventist Church rents each week for their worship services. The Vista SDA Church has two evangelistic series every year. The church has grown from a very small group to about seventy-five members to date.

The whole church is very involved in evangelism in their city and surrounding areas.

The first evening, the twenty-five non-members present received the message of Daniel 2 well. We were pleasantly surprised to find that three of our guests were former Seventh-day Adventists. There were a number of people present who had attended the previous series and some newly baptized members came to hear the message again and to become better acquainted with the messages of the Three Angels.

We were very delighted to see many of these people returning night after night. We prayed often for each of them by name. Some of our guests had real issues to overcome. One young lady is an alcoholic and needed special prayer for her addiction. We visited her and prayed for her, claiming God’s promises of deliverance and victory in her life. We continue to hold her up to the Lord, claiming victory in His name.

22

Another man, Mark [not his real name], had a grandfather who was a Seventh-day Adventist. This grandfather had been an elder in the church and gave Bible studies to the people in the community. When he died, Mark was the one who got the Bible and all the Bible study filmstrips that his grandfather had used.

Mark attended the Vista series and felt God’s Spirit calling to him. He soon became baptized.

On the last Sabbath, we had five baptisms and one attendee was accepted into fellowship by profession of faith. There are another ten whom we believe will be joining shortly and there are many interests that will be followed up.

We thank God for the way He has blessed during this series and we look forward to the time when the loud cry will go out and many more will be gathered in before Christ comes the second time. Thank you for your continued support of Amazing Discoveries and the prayers that support this ministry! God bless you all!

Just a note to let you know how very much I appreciate your incredible programs on the ADTV channel...To make a long story short, I became a 7th Day Adventist. We got a glorystar dish and your programs were there. I thought I knew a lot about history and current events, but you blew me away with your grasp of Scripture, history, and current events. Your brilliance, experience, and knowledge plus your low key way of presenting your message is invaluable to someone like me. - William 25

our PAST

from

The Exercise of Faith After the 1993 meetings with Walter Veith, Amazing Discoveries planned another series for 1996. At first, we only booked an 860-seat theatre. But a few days later, Wenzel had a feeling that he needed to ask the theatre manager for more space. He asked her to add more rooms to our reservation. A few days later, he felt compelled to ask her for 6 more classrooms. The next day, to the manager’s surprise, Wenzel called yet again, asking, “Do you have any more overflow room available?” She said, “You’ve already booked the hall, an overflow room, and several classrooms. How many people are you expecting?” He replied, “I don’t know, but I know I need more.” She responded that there was still a caf-

Now we had seating for 1560 people. A few days later, the manager called to let Wenzel know that the facility was not available on Sabbath, January 20—an important day for our series. Wenzel tried to persuade the manager that we needed that evening, reminding her that we had booked 3 weeks of nights and that surely our number of nights should give us priority over the nights available. But the manager wouldn’t budge. January 20 had been booked for quite some time, in fact to the Symphony Orchestra, and there was no chance that we were going to get that night. We were not happy about it, but there was nothing further we could do.

Opening night came, and Wenzel’s premonition was realized. Every single seat in every room was filled to capacity. Over 1500 people came to hear the Professor from South Africa speak. We thanked God for the urging of the Holy Spirit on Wenzel’s heart to go back to the manager to get every available space. The manager was amazed, and asked Wenzel during opening night, “How did you know? You kept asking me for more rooms and I thought you were crazy!” Wenzel replied, “God knew.” But there was still that issue of the unavailable date of January 20.

In the early morning of Sabbath, January 20, it began raining. By mid-morning, the water that had fallen on the city streets became frozen solid. By evening, the roads remained impassable as snow fell in drifts. The next day we arrived back in the theatre for our next night of presentations as usual. The manager came rushing to meet Wenzel. “Do you remember, Wenzel, how I told you that January 20

had been taken by the orchestra? Well, God must have known about it and made sure you didn’t get that night, because the ice was so bad that the symphony orchestra had to cancel the evening. Aren’t you glad now that you never got that date for your meetings?” The circumstances of this series show us that God was indeed involved and blessing this evangelistic series.

Amazing Discoveries faced challenges in those early days with these new converts, since no local pastors would support the series. But, God knows each and every one of those souls. Those early days of evangelism were a learning experience for us as lay people. God blessed our efforts and recognized our desire to serve Him. The same goes for anyone who wishes to work for the Lord.

Talents are helpful, but not essential. Whomever the Lord calls, He equips and makes able. Evangelism is the antidote to a lukewarm Christian walk and the privileged duty of every Seventh-day Adventist regardless of circumstance, occupation, gender, or age. It just requires a little step of faith, like asking for more rooms than you apparently need. Perhaps someone can learn from our story of Saturday, January 20—God knows the end from the beginning. He will use situations you think are mishaps for His will. May God bless you as you step out to work for the Lord while there is still day. “For the night cometh, when no man can work.”

countless blessings...

Amazing Discoveries can only succeed because of God’s countless blessings. Since His faithfulness during the very first lecture in 1993, to the donor last year who covered a year’s cost of satellite broadcasting in Australia, God has shown us His goodness and continues to be our Provision and Guide.

I am a changed person today because of Amazing Discoveries. They tell it as it is.

The truth and nothing but the truth, the Bible and the Bible only. Keep up the great work for God. Amazing Discoveries: Please pray for my family and I. Pray that we spend more time in the Word of God. That the Holy Spirit works in our hearts to change us. Take away all our bad habits, and keep us from sin. That our light may shine onto others and show Jesus is in us. Thank you, and Bless you for everything you’re doing in Jesus’ name. - Keith and Geraldine 27

I want to thank you for your programs and to make sure I get the right thanks to you. I am particularly impressed with Walter Veith, Randy Skeete, oh go on--- every one of you is great. May our Lord bless your efforts now and forevermore. I am an SDA in New Zealand. I/We (my wife and I) do not find this so with Amazing Discoveries and Amazing Health. In fact we have turned our lives around by just getting such good information from the health programs. We were vegans, but now we have switched to virtually all raw foods. THANK YOU and may our Lord bless ALL your efforts. Please don’t ever go off the air. - Tony and Sebena

I purchased Total Onslaught in about 2007 and have watched it from back to back: at least a dozen times. Because of the things that I have learned from watching these DVDs, such as Changing the Word, the Islamic Connection, and so many others in the collection, I have been able to teach people the truth, and to help spread the 3 Angels message and earths final warning.

I have been able to learn so much from Dr. Veith. My old pastor gave me the inspiration to study and now, I have become an ordained minister. Many of the things that Dr. Veith taught such as about the flood and how much was laid down to create the layers of rock in a very short space of time. Rather than over millions of years. He shows how Charles Darwin and others were wrong and that God’s word is infallible.

If I get the chance I will show as many people as I possibly can this information, and help them to know the truth. Jesus told us to go spread the gospel. This also means that we should use as much information of history and science that proves God’s word. I’m very thankful for Dr. Veith and the work that he’s done to bring us the information that can help to bring others to God. - Pastor Charles Today Sabbath the 27th of April at Springwood church in Brisbane, Australia we celebrated a wonderful day of baptism, where 11 people, mostly couples, gave their hearts to God. All told of their journey to this special day -One particular couple of Polish origin told of how for years they have searched for the truth and spent a lot of time with the Mormons who did a wonderful job studying the scriptures with them. They were just about to be baptised when a family argument of some sort put a stop to it. They were discouraged until on TV they came across Walter Veith. They loved his messages and kept watching but he never said which church he belonged to, but one day near the end of his talk he said his church was the Seventh Day Adventist church. So then they looked up the closest church to them, which was Springwood. They came and connected with a couple who had a Bible study group going, and so were baptised today. Many are searching for truth. Walter, you had a part to play in their Baptism - may God continue to bless, and use you to help touch lives. Yours in Christ, Roseli.
