MY FIRST WIFE DIED OF
BREAST CANCER.
AND WHEN SHE PASSED AWAY, I
REALLY FLOUNDERED.
AND I ENDED UP BEING
HOMELESS IN THE STREETS OF
TUCSON, ARIZONA.
Reporter: IN 2005,
SCOTT GOT OFF THE STREETS
AND THE DRUGS.
HE BECAME A CHRISTIAN AND
LEARNED ABOUT TITHING.
WHEN SCOTT GOT A JOB WORKING
CONSTRUCTION, HE DECIDED IT
WAS TIME TO PUT WHAT HE
LEARNED INTO PRACTICE.
IT WAS VERY DIFFICULT AT
FIRST, BECAUSE FOR ME TO
GIVE MONEY WHEN I WAS JUST
COMING OUT OF THE STREETS,
WAS A BIG DECISION.
DECISION.
WELL, RIGHT AWAY I STARTED
SEEING THE SUPER NATURAL
FAVOR OF GOD.
I WENT FROM LIVING IN A
HALFWAY HOUSE TO GETTING MY
OWN APARTMENT.
Reporter: SCOTT WANTED
TO HELP OTHERS IN RECOVERY,
AND STARTED PRAYING FOR A
LOCAL JOB AT A
REHABILITATION CENTER.
HE WAS HIRED A FEW MONTHS
LATER.
I PRAYED FOR A MONTH
STRAIGHT BEFORE THEY HIRED
ME.
> OTHERS HAD COLLEGE
DEGREES, WERE ALREADY
WORKING FOR THE COMPANY AND
WANTED THAT POSITION.
THEY HIRED ME BECAUSE THEY
SAW LOVE I HAVE FOR OTHER
PEOPLE AND HOW MUCH I WANTED
TO HELP OTHER PEOPLE GET
BETTER.
Reporter: SCOTT WAS
OFFERED THE POSITION OF
RESIDENT MANAGER IN 2006.
JUST THREE YEARS LATER, HE
RECEIVED ANOTHER PROMOTION.
GOD GAVE ME PROMOTIONS
THAT NO MAN COULD GIVE ME.
ME.

SCOTT BECAME A "THE 700
CLUB" PARTNER.
PAT ROBERTSON AND "THE
700 CLUB" WERE GOING OUT AND
IMPACTING THE WORLD IN AN
AMAZING WAY.
ESPECIALLY HERE IN THE
UNITED STATES.
HELPING POOR PEOPLE, HELPING
DISADVANTAGED PEOPLE, AND
BUILDING WELLS IN COUNTRIES
LIKE AFRICA WHERE PEOPLE ARE
STARVING TO DEATH ON A DAILY
BASIS.
I'M NOT ABLE TO TAKE
MISSIONARY TRIPS YET, BUT I
CAN CERTAINLY GIVE MONEY TO
"THE 700 CLUB" AND BE A PART
OF WHAT THEY'RE DOING ALL
OVER THE WORLD.
Reporter: TODAY SCOTT
IS HAPPILY MARRIED AND HAS A
FAMILY.
HE OWNS HIS OWN HOME AND
CONSIDERS GIVING ONE THE
KEYS TO HIS SUCCESS.
AS I FAITHFULLY TITHED
OVER THE YEARS, GOD SHOWED
ME THE INCREASE.
IT'S AN ABSOLUTE MIRACLE,
WHAT JESUS CHRIST HAS DONE
IN MY LIFE.
I LIVED
IN A CARDBOARD BOX
SEVEN AND A HALF YEARS AGO.
I LIVED IN DUMPSTERS, EATING
OUT OF DUMPSTERS, AND NOW
GOD HAS PROVIDED AN
INCREDIBLE HOME, WHERE I CAN
HAVE BIBLE STUDIES IN MY
HOUSE.
IT IS JUST -- IT'S NOT A
CASTLE, BUT IT IS MY
CASTLE.
I COULDN'T DO WHAT HE IS
DOING FOR ME.
IF YOU'RE OUT THERE
THINKING, I DON'T HAVE THE
RESOURCES TO TITHE, IF
YOU'RE OUT THERE THINKING,
IT IS TOO MUCH TO ASK, TRUST
GOD.
YOU TRUST HIM TO BE YOUR
ETERNAL SAVIOR, AND NOW
TRUST HIM WITH YOUR MONEY.
IT IS THE NEXT STEP.
IT IS THE ONLY STEP TO TAKE,
AND HE WILL NOT LET YOU
DOWN.
