Twitter API user_timeline not retrieving all tweets

For some reason when I go to this link plugging in ABCSMinistries screenname I only get 1 result: http://api.twitter.com/1/statuses/user_timeline.json?screen_name=ABCSMinistries&count=4&exclude_replies=$exclude_replies

I've since research and come across this link as well with the same results https://api.twitter.com/1/statuses/user_timeline/ABCSMinistries.json?callback=twitterCallback2&count=4

But when I try any other screenname I get 4 results as expected (unless the user doesn't have four. ABCSMinistries definitely has more than 1 (32 to be exact) so what's the problem?

You aren't seeing the retweets that user has made. Your call to the API needs to include

include_rts=1

See the documentation at https://dev.twitter.com/docs/api/1/get/statuses/user_timeline
