Lee: THEY'RE AMERICA'S

TICKING TIME BOMBS.

THEY'VE ERUPTED BEFORE,

AND THEY WILL ERUPTED

AGAIN.

Lee: WHAT SCIENTISTS

ARE LEARNING FROM VOLCANOS,

AND HOW THEY'RE USING THAT

KNOWLEDGE TO SAVE LIVES.

BUT, BOBBY GOODSON.

FIND A NICHE IN LIFE AND

YOU'LL MAKE A LIVING.

Lee: AND THEN, A LIVE

PERFORMANCE FROM SINGER

WARREN BUFFIELD ON TODAY'S

"THE 700 CLUB."

Gordon: WELCOME TO "THE

700 CLUB."

NEW YORK IS STILL REELING

AFTER TAKING A 1-2 PUNCH BY

SUPERSTORM SANDY, AND THEN

FOLLOWED BY A NOR'EASTER.

AS TODAY BEGINS, MORE THAN

500 PEOPLE REMAIN WITHOUT

POWER IN NEW YORK AND NEW

JERSEY.

Kristi: BUT THE BIG

APPLE, GORDON IS DEALING

WITH ANOTHER PROBLEM.

HEATHER CELLS REPORTS ON GAS

RATIONING.

Reporter: GAS SHORTAGES

IN SANDY'S AFTERMATH HAVE

IMMOBILIZED MANY, AND LED TO

LONG LINES AT THE PUMP.

NOW NEW YORK CITY AND LONG

IL I'LL ARE FOLLOWING NEW

JERSEY -- LONG ISLAND ARE

FOLLOWING NEW JERSEY'S

LEAD.

THEY'RE RATIONING GAS.

ALLOWING COSTUMERS WITH

ODD-NUMBERED LICENSE PLATES

TO FILL UP ON ODD DAYS, AND

CONSUMERS WITH EVEN NUMBERS

TO FILL UP ON EVEN DAYS.

THE WIRES SPARK.

EVERY DAY THEY SPARK FROM

SOMEWHERE ELSE.

Reporter: THE SECOND

NOR'EASTER BLANKETED THE

REGION WITH SNOW AND PLUNGED

SOME BACK INTO DARKNESS.

IT WAS GREAT TO HAVE IT.

AND THEN WE LOSE IT AGAIN.

IT WAS EXTREMELY

FRUSTRATING.

Reporter: AND IT IS HAM

HAMPERING THE NATION'S AIR

TRAVEL.

ON WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY,

THE AIRLINES CANCELLED

ALMOST 2,000 FLIGHTS.

NON-PROFIT EFFORTS ARE

HELPING IN MYSTIC ISLAND,

NEW JERSEY, AND MYSTIC

POINT, NEW YORK.

WE'RE GOING TO HELP

PEOPLE PUT THEIR LIVES BACK

TOGETHER.

THIS IS A COMMUNITY THAT

SURE DOES DESERVE EVERYONE'S

PRAYERS AND ALL OF OUR HOPE

AND ALL OF OUR HELP.

WE'RE GOING TO BE HERE

WORKING FOR QUITE SOMETIME.

Reporter: THE DAMAGE

ESTIMATE FOR SANDY RIGHT

NOW, UP TO $50 BILLION.

THAT'S THE SECOND MOST

EXPENSIVE STORM IN U.S.

HISTORY, RIGHT BEHIND

HURRICAN HURRICANE

KATRINA.

Gordon: IF YOU WANT TO

HELP THOSE IN NEED IN NEW

YORK AND NEW JERSEY, ALL YOU

HAVE TO DO IS CALL US.

CALL 1-800-759-0700.

OUR SLOGAN HERE, OUR MOTTO

IS, "WHEN DISASTER STRIKES,

WE WANT TO STRIKE BACK."

AND WE WANT TO STRIKE BACK

WITH VERY TANGIBLE HELP TO

PEOPLE.

IF YOU WANT TO BE A PART OF

IT, SAY, YES, I WANT TO BE A

PART OF THE DISASTER RELIEF

HELP THOSE IN NEED, FOR SOME

OF THESE PEOPLE, IT IS GOING

TO BE AT LEAST 30 DAYS,

ACCORDING TO SOME REPORTS,

BEFORE THEY GET POWER BACK.

THAT IS WELL PAST

THANKSGIVING.

WE NEED TO STEP UP OUR HELP

TO HELP THOSE IN NEED.

WHILE THE NORTHEAST

STRUGGLES TO RECOVER FROM

STORMS, ANOTHER GROUP OF

AMERICANS IS WORKING TO HELP

THOSE WHO SERVE IN OUR

MILITARY.

LEE WEBB HAS THAT STORY.

Lee: VETERANS' DAY IS

THIS SUNDAY.

THE HOLIDAY TAKES ON GREATER

SIGNIFICANCE EVERY YEAR

BECAUSE WE LOSE MORE THAN

800 WORLD WAR II VETS EACH

DAY.

AND OUR YOUNGER GENERATION

REMAINS ON THE BATTLEFIELD

IN AFGHANISTAN.

ONE GROUP WANTS TO START A

NEW TRADITION THIS VETERANS'

DAY.

PAUL STRAND HAS THEIR

STORY.

Reporter: TERRY

BELIEVES AMERICA'S MILITARY

DOES AND HAS DONE SO MUCH

FOR THE COUNTRY, EVERY

AMERICA NEEDS TO ACKNOWLEDGE

THEM THIS COMING SUNDAY.

AT NOONTIME, NO MATTER

WHERE YOU ARE, TO BE IN

SILENCE, JUST FOR A MOMENT,

AND TO SHOW GRATITUDE AND

THANKSGIVING.

Reporter: SHE SAYS

THOSE WHO DEFEND AND FIGHT

FOR AMERICA RICHLY DESERVE

THIS TIME OF SILENCE AND

PRAYER.

MOST OF OUR MILITARY

THINKS THAT WE'VE FORGOTTEN

THEM.

INSTEAD OF FORGETTING THEM,

NOT ONLY ARE WE THINKING

ABOUT THEM, BUT WE'RE GOING

TO BE PRAYING FOR THEM.

Reporter: HER FRONT

LINE FAITH IS WORKING

YEAR-ROUND FOR SERVICE

MEMBERS WHO IT HAS FOUND

STARVING FOR SPIRITUAL SUS

SUSTINANCE.

IT IS OVER SEVEN HOURS OF

RELIGIOUS CONTENT, AND THE

CHAPLAINS SAY THANK YOU FOR

BRINGING GOD TO OUR

SOLDIERS, AND OR SOLDIERS TO

GOD.

Reporter: WITH IT COSTK

COSTING ABOUT $24 A PEACE,

FRONTLINE IS FINDING HIS

NEEDS MUCH MORE SUPPORT IF

IT HOPES TO FILL THE NEEDS

OF THE HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS

OF TROOPS WANTING THEM.

Lee: MEANWHILE,

MILLIONS OF CHRISTIANS

AROUND THE WORLD WILL UNITE

IN PRAYER FOR THE

INTERNATIONAL DAY OF PRAYER

FOR THE PERSECUTED CHURCH.

IT IS A TIME FOR STANDING

FOR THOSE WHO SUFFER FOR

FOLLOWING CHRIST.

ATTACKS AGAINST CHRISTIANS

IN NATIONS LIKE EURO,

PAKISTAN, AND EGYPT ARE

INCREASING, AS GARY LANE

REPORTS, THOSE ARE NOT THE

WORST PLACES TO BE A

CHRISTIAN.

Reporter: CHRISTIANS

ARE UNDER INTENSE SITUATIONS

IN COUNTRIES.

BUT NORTH KOREA IS THE WORST

PERSECUTOR OF CHRISTIANS.

AFTER THE DEATH OF KIM

JONG-IL, HIS SONG AND

SUCCESSOR IS CONTINUING

EFFORTS TO RID THE NATION OF

CHRISTIANITY.

CHRISTIANS ARE ARRESTED,

IMPRISONED, AND EVEN

EXECUTED, SIMPLY FOR

BELIEVING IN A FAITH OTHER

THAN THE STATE RELIGION,

KNOWN AS SELF-RELIANCE.

WE PROTECTED THIS CHRISTIAN

BY HIDING HIS FACE AND

CALLING HIM BY A DIFFERENT

NAME.

MR. BAY WAS IN PRISON FOR

HELPING A FRIEND.

THERE WAS WERE

INTERROGATIONS AND TORTURE,

BUT THE HARDEST THING WAS

SITTING STILL ON THE FLOOR

WITHOUT MOVING MY ARMS,

LEGS, MORE THAN A YEAR.

Reporter: HE SAYS GOD,

NOT MAN, DELIVERED HIM FROM

DEATH.

HE TOLD HIS STORY TO THE

C.I.A. OF SEOUL U.S.A.

IT IS DETAILED IN THE NEW

BOOK, "THESE ARE THE

GENERATIONS."

THE SAME KINDS OF THINGS

FROM NORTH KOREAN DEFECTORS

FOR 10 YEARS, BUT IT WAS

VERY HARD TO FIND SOMEONE

WILLING TO SPOKE ABOUT THESE

THINGS ON THE RECORD.

BUT FOR MR. BAY, HE SPOKE

OPENLY, BECAUSE HIS MOTHER

AND FATHER, WHO ARE IN A

CONCENTRATION CAMP, PREPARED

THEIR WHOLE LIVES THAT

LIKELY THAT'S WHERE THEY

WOULD END UP.

Reporter: AND HOW

SHOULD NORTH AMERICANS PRAY

FOR NORTH KOREA?

MR. BAY TALKS ABOUT THE

KIND OF PERSECUTION WE FACE

IN THE WEST, WHICH IS THE

PERSECUTION OF PROSPERITY.

EVERY DAY PROSPERITY EN

ENABLES US NOT TO DENY

OURSELVES, BUT TO DENY THE

CROSS BECAUSE OUR RELIGION

BRINGS US COMFORT.

HE SAYS, PRAY THAT WE WILL

EACH BE FOUND FAITHFUL TO

OVERCOME THE PERSECUTION

UNDER WHICH WE EXIST IN

ORDER TO REPRESENT AND

WITNESS TO THE GOODNESS OF

THE LORD FAITHFULLY.

Reporter: GARY LANE,

CBN NEWS.

Lee: WOW!

YOU CAN FIND OUT MORE ABOUT

THE INTERNATIONAL DAY OF

PRAYER FOR THE PERSECUTED

CHURCH BY GOING TO OUR

WEBSITE AT CBNNEWS.COM.

WE SPOKE TO ERIC FOLEY TO

HEAR THE NORTHERN KOREANS

PRAY THAT GOD WOULD NOT

NECESSARILY MOVE THEM FROM

THE SITUATION THEY'RE IN,

BUT THAT GOD WOULD CAUSE

THEM TO BE FAITHFUL WHERE

THEY ARE.

IT IS A VERY POWERFUL

PRAYER.

Gordon: IT IS A VERY

POWERFUL PRAYER.

IT IS LINE WITHIN APOSTLE 4,

WHERE THE SANHIDRIN

PROHIBITED THEM FROM

PREACHING THE GOSPEL.

THEY ASKED FOR BOLDNESS TO

PREACH THE GOSPEL.

THAT SIGNS AND WONDERS WOULD

FOLLOW, AND GOD WOULD

STRETCH FORTH HIS HAND AND

PERFORM MIRACLES SO THAT THE

GOSPEL WOULD GO FORTH.

THIS SIEWFLTD, PRA SUNDAY,

PRAY FOR THE PERCENTS

PERSECUTED CHURCH.

THERE ARE SO MANY COUNTRIES

WHERE IT IS RESTRICTED.

THEY'RE NOT EVEN ALLOW TO

MEET TOGETHER AND PRAY.

IN SOME COUNTRIES, IT IS

ILLEGAL TO POSSESS A BIBLE.

WE NEED TO LIFT THEM UP IN

PRAYER.

AT THE SAME TIME, RECOGNIZE

THEY'RE PRAYING FOR US.

YEARS AGO, I WAS WITH A

GROUP OF PERSECUTED

CHRISTIANS IN A RESTRICTED

COUNTRY.

AND I WANTED TO PRAY FOR

THEM.

THEY STOPPED ME.

THEY SAID, DON'T PRAY FOR

US.

WE WANT TO PRAY FOR YOU.

WE WANT TO PRAY FOR THE

CHRISTIANS IN AMERICA, THAT

THE CARES AND THE CONCERNS

OF THIS WORLD WOULD NOT

CHOKE THE WORD AND MAKE IT

UNFRUITFUL.

RECOGNIZE THEY'RE PRYING FOR

US JUST AS WE'RE PRAYING FOR

THEM.

Kristi: THAT WAS

BEAUTIFUL.

YOU CAN'T HELP BUT WATCH

THOSE STORIES AND REMIND

OURSELVES THE IMPORTANCE AND

GRATITUDE OF RELIGIOUS

FREEDOM WE HAVE HERE IN

AMERICA.

Consuelo: AN AMERICA.

Gordon: AND UNDERSTAND

WE NEED TO PREACH THE GOSPEL

WITH BOLDNESS.

COMING UP, THE CASTLE IS

PICTURESQUE, BUT THE PEOPLE

LIVING IN THE VALLEY BLOW

ARE IN CONSTANT DANGER.

FIND OUT WHY AND WHAT IS

BEING DONE TO PROTECT THEM.

FIND OUT WHY AFTER THIS.

Gordon: THE CASCADE

MOUNTAINS ARE RIPE WITH

BREATHTAKING BEAUTY, AND

THEY ALSO COVER A CALDERON

OF HOT MAGNA THAT COULD WIPE

OUT EVERYTHING AND EVERYONE

BELOW ITMENT FOR 100 YEARS,

SCIENTISTS HAVE MONITORED

THE VOLCANOS IN THE UNITED

STATES, AND AS MARK MARTIN

REPORTS, THEY'RE USING THE

LATEST TECHNOLOGY TO KEEP

PEOPLELIZINPEOPLE LIVING IN

THE DANGER ZONES.

Reporter: THE CASCADE

MOUNTAIN RANGE LINES THE

UPPER HALF OF THE U.S. WEST

COAST.

LIKE MT. REINER AND

WASHINGTON AND MT. HOOD,

REPRESENT SOME OF AMERICA'S

GREATEST BEAUTY, ON THE

SURFACE, THAT IS.

UNDERNEATH LIES THE

DESTRUCTIVE HOT MAGMA.

THEY HAVE ERUPTED BEFORE,

AND THEY WILL ERUPT AGAIN.

AND WHEN THEY ERUPT, THEY

WILL PRESENT A VERY REAL

HAZARD TO THE PEOPLE WHO

LIVE NEARBY.

Reporter: THIS IS ALSO

HOME TO MT. ST. MOUNT ST.

HELENS, A VOLCANO THAT

EXPLODED VIOLENTLY IN

MINUTES.

IT TOOK THE LIVES OF 57

PEOPLE, CAUSING HUNDREDS OF

MILLIONS OF DOLLARS IN

DAMAGE, AND DESTROYED EVERY

LIVING THING WITHIN 230

SQUARE MILES.

STILL A DANGER TODAY, MT.

SAINT HELENS IS CONSIDERED

THE MOST ACTIVE.

Reporter: THE MASSIVE

EXPLOSION PUT VOLCANO

MONITORING ON THE

FAST-TRACK.

AT THE TIME, THERE WAS ONLY

ONE VOLCANO OBSERVATORY IN

THE ENTIRE U.S.

TODAY THERE ARE FIVE.

Reporter: THEY CAN BE

FOUND IN YELLOWSTONE

NATIONAL PARK, CALIFORNIA,

ALASKA, HAWAII, AND HERE IN

THE CASCADES.

BECAUSE ST. HELLENS

CONTINUED TO ERUPT ON AND

OFF UNTIL 1986, IT BECAME A

LABORATORY FOR SCIENTISTS

AND ENGINEERS TO DEVELOP THE

COMPUTER SOFTWARE, THE ALGOR

GOR RHYTHM TO PROCESS THE

INFORMATION.

Reporter: HE GAVE CBN A

LOOK AT THE TECHNOLOGY

MONITORING MT. SAINT HELENS,

AND THE OTHER 168 ACTIVE

VOLCANOS.

WHAT THESE INSTRUMENTS

ALLOW US TO DO IS LOOK AT

DATA IN REALTIME, AND GET

THE DATA TO OUR COLLEAGUES

SO WE CAN BUILD A MORE

COMPREHENSIVE VIEW OF WHAT

THE VOLCANO IS DOING DURING

REST.

Reporter: SCIENTISTS

WATCH THREE SIGNS DURING

ERUPTIONS, HOW MUCH THE

VOLCANO IS SHAKING, IF IT IS

SWELLING OR CHANGING SHAPE

BECAUSE OF THE MAGMA PUSHING

ON ITS SIDES, AND THE AMOUNT

OF VOLCANIC GASSES IT IS

SENDING OUT.

IT IS IMPORTANT BECAUSE

ULTIMATELY VOLCANO GASSES

FORM THE ERUPTION.

Reporter: TODAY'S

EQUIPMENT IS PORTABLE.

ALLOWING IT TO GO WHERE

PEOPLE CANNOT.

TAKE, FOR INSTANCE, THE

SPIDER.

IT IS REALLY NICE BECAUSE

WE SET IT DOWN WITH THE

HELICOPTER, AND WE HAVE A

REALLY HIGH SIGNAL WITHOUT

ALL OF THE NOISE FROM TOWNS

AND SUCH.

Reporter: THAT NOISE

GETS CLOSER, HOWEVER, AS THE

DECEPTIVELY PICTURESQUE

SCENERY LURES NEW RESIDENTS,

LEADING TO THE GROWTH OF

TOWNS AND POPULATION

CENTRES.

IN THE CASCADES, THE ONE

WE WORRY ABOUT THE MOST IS

MT. RAINIER BECAUSE OF THE

PEOPLE LIVING IN THE

VALLEYS.

Reporter: LOOK AT ALL

OF THE HOMES AT THE BASE OF

MT. RAINIER.

IF YOU THINK THEY ARE SAFE,

THINK AGAIN.

AN ERUPTION CAN SEND DEADLY

MUD FLOWS, FILLED WITH ROCK

AND SAND, AT A GREAT

DISTANCE, DESTROYING

EVERYTHING IN

THEIR

PAST.

HE BELIEVES LAHAR BROUGHT

THIS BOLDER, AFTER IT LAST

ERUPTED 200 YEARS AGO.

JUST ACROSS THE STREET, A

POPULATION CENTER.

HE INTERPRETS THIS AS A

WARNING, THAT WHAT HAPPENED

IN THE PAST CAN HAPPEN

AGAIN.

I DIDN'T SEEN THE

ERUPTION OF MT. SAINT HELENS

IN THE 1980s, BUT I WAS AT

THE

ERUPTION OF MT. PINATU.

AND IT WAS SO MUCH BIGGER

AND FASTER THAN ANYTHING I

HAD EVER SEEN.

Reporter: I'M HERE IN

THE TOWN OF GOVERNMENT CAMP,

WHICH IS ONLY ABOUT FIVE

MILES FROM THE SUMMIT OF

MT. HOOD.

WHEN SCIENTISTS DETERMINE

THE RISK OF A PARTICULAR

AREA, THEY MOST DEFINITELY

CONSIDER DEVELOPMENTS LIKE

THIS, WHICH ARE SO CLOSE TO

THE MOUNTAINS.

SOME OF THE HIGHEST

VOLCANOS WE HAVE IN THE

UNITED

STATES, THE MAJORITY

OF

THE HIGHEST THREAT

VOLCANOS, BECAUSE WE HAVE SO

MANY PEOPLE AND

INFRASTRUCTURE NEARBY.

Reporter: AND THAT,

ACCORDING TO YORK, PUTS THE

PRESSURE ON FOR GREATER

ACCURACY AND PREDICTIONS.

AND SCIENTISTS ALSO URGE

RESIDENTS TO CONSIDER

POTENTIAL HAZARDS, EVEN

HIDDEN ONES, BEFORE CHOOSING

WHERE THEY LIVE.

MARK MARTIN, CBN NEWS, THE

PACIFIC NORTHWEST.

Gordon: I CERTAINLY

WOULD ENCOURAGE YOU DON'T

SET UP HOUSE NEXT TO AN

ACTIVE VOLCANO.

I WAS RIGHT THERE AT

MT. PINATUBA AND I SAW THE

DESTRUCTION.

EVEN THOSE HOUSES WERE MILES

AWAY, THOSE ASHES CAME DOWN

AND LITERALLY WIPED THEM

OUT.

WHEN YOU CAN SEE PARTIAL

HOMES -- IT IS LIKE IT WAS

ENCASED IN SOME KIND OF

CONCRETE.

IT DESTROYED EVERYTHING IN

ITS WAKE.

AND FOR YEARS AFTER, EVEN TO

THIS DAY, THERE ARE AREAS

AROUND THAT ARE A WASTELAND,

NOTHING GROWS IN IT.

IT IS REALLY A HORRIBLE

THING.

SO IT IS ONE THING TO HAVE

WARNING, BUT IT'S STILL

BETTER TO NOT EVEN BE NEAR

THEM BECAUSE YOU JUST DON'T

KNOW WHEN THEY'RE GOING TO

GO OFF.

KRISTI?

Kristi: ABSOLUTELY.

UP NEXT, THE STAR OF "SWAMP

LOGGERS," YOU'RE ABOUT TO

SEE A SIDE OF BOBBY GOODWIN

THAT YOU'VE NEVER SEEN

BEFORE.

SO STAY WITH US.

Gordon: BOBBY GOODSON

BECAME A CELEBRITY DOING

WHAT HE DOES EVERY DAY,

SWAMP LOGGING.

HE IS USED TO OVERCOMING ALL

KINDS OF OBSTACLES JUST TO

GET THE JOB DONE.

BUT FOR YEARS, BOBBY WAS

FIGHTING A LOSING BATTLE

WITH HIMSELF.

*

*

AN OLD MAN TOLD ME YEARS

AGO, SON, FIND A NICHE IN

LIFE AND YOU'LL MAKE A

LIVING.

Reporter: BOBBY GOODSON

FOUND HIS NICHE AS A SWAMP

LOGGER.

IN FACT, HE OWNS A

SUCCESSFUL LOGGING COMPANY

IN JACKSONVILLE, NORTH

CAROLINA, AND HE WAS

FEATURED ON DISCOVERY

CHANNEL'S HIT SHOW, "SWAMP

LOGGERS."

I STILL DON'T THINK OF

MYSELF LIKE A STAR.

I FEEL LIKE I'M A PERSON

WITH A JOB AND WE JUST DID

OUR JOB.

THE TYPE OF WORK WE DO EVERY

DAY IS A CHALLENGE.

EVERY DAY IS DIFFERENT.

WE'VE ALWAYS GOT OBSTACLES

TO OVERCOME.

I GUESS WHAT GETS MEET OUT

OF BED IN THE MORNING IS TO

COME OUT AND FACE THE

CHALLENGES.

DO TO DO SOMETHING NOBODY

CAN DO OR DON'T WANT TO DO.

Reporter: BUT BOBBY

CAME FROM FOUR GENERATIONS

OF LOGGERS.

AS A YOUNG BOY, HE LEARNED

TO PARTY WITH THE OLDER KIDS

HE KNEW.

HE EVEN WENT TO SCHOOL DRUNK

IN THE FIFTH GRADE.

LOOKING BACK OVER MY

LIFE, I COULDN'T REMEMBER A

DAY THAT I WENT WITHOUT

GETTING HIGH OR DRINKING OR

SOME TYPE OF DRUG.

Reporter: BOBBY DATED

PLENTY OF GIRLS.

WHEN HE WAS 14, HE MET

LAURIE, BUT THEIR

RELATIONSHIP WAS VOLATILE

FROM THE VERY BEGINNING.

WHEN I GOT MAD, I DIDN'T

HOLD BACK AND NEITHER DID

SHE.

I COULD SHOOT BACK WITH

THE LEFT OF THEM.

IF IT WAS A LITTLE PUSH, I

PUSHED BACK.

IF IT WAS SCREAMING AND

YELLING AND CURSING, I WAS

RIGHT UP IN THIS FACE, TOO.

I KNEW HOW TO PUSH THE RIGHT

BUTTONS.

WHATEVER I THOUGHT WOULD

HURT HER THE WORST, I WOULD

TELL HER.

THE WORST THING BOBBY

EVER SAID TO ME, I STILL CAN

REMEMBER THE TIME.

HE LOOKED AT ME AND SAID, I

DON'T LOVE YOU ANYMORE.

IT PHYSICALLY MADE ME SICK.

EVERY DAY THAT I CANNOT GET

OUT OF BED.

Reporter: WHEN BOBBY

AND LAURIE WERE JUST 16

YEARS OLD, THEY HAD A BABY

THEY NAMED JUSTIN.

THEY MARRIED FIVE YEARS

LATER.

BETS WERE PLACED ON HOW LONG

THE MARRIAGE WOULD LAST.

I DIDN'T KNOW IT UNTIL

AFTER THE WEDDING, BUT MY

BROTHER HAD ACTUALLY TAKEN

BETS THAT WITHIN A YEAR I

WOULD KILL HER.

Reporter: BOBBY'S

BROTHER DIDN'T REALIZE HOW

CLOSE HE WOULD COME TO

FORTELLING THE FUTURE.

GET OVER HERE.

Reporter: ONE NIGHT

BOBBY CAME HOME DRUNK.

WHEN LAURIE FOUND HIM PASSED

OUT, SHE TRIED TO WAKE HIM.

BOBBY FLEW INTO A RAGE.

HE TOOK ME BY THE THROAT,

AND I CAN REMEMBER MY HEAD

SLAMMING UP AGAINST THE

WALL.

THE PHONE RANG, AND I

REMEMBER HIM LETTING ME GO.

I FELL ON THE BACK OF THE

STEPS AND IT BROKE IT.

HE ANSWERED THE PHONE, LIKE

THERE WAS NOTHING GOING ON.

HE LOOKED DOWN AT ME, AND HE

SAID IT'S YOUR DADMENT.

Reporter: LAURIE TALKED

HER WAY THROUGH THE

CONVERSATION, AND BOBBY FELL

ASLEEP.

THE NEXT MORNING, HE DIDN'T

REMEMBER WHAT HE HAD DONE TO

LAURIE OR TO THEIR HOME.

THE DOORS KNOCKED OFF

HINGES, HOLES IN THE WALLS,

THE WHOLE HOUSE WAS

DISARRAY, AND I COULDN'T

REMEMBER WHAT HAPPENED.

I MADE MY MIND UP THEM, I

CANNOT LIVE LIKE THIS.

I COULD HAVE KILLED LAURIE,

AND I DIDN'T EVEN KNOW WHERE

JUSTIN WAS AT.

SOMETHING THAT TO CHANGE MY

LIFE OR IT WAS GOING TO END

VERY BADLY.

Reporter: THE FOLLOWING

SUNDAY, BOBBY AND LAURIE

WENT TO CHURCH.

BOBBY PRAYED AND GAVE HIS

HEART TO JESUS THAT DAY.

IT FELT SO GOOD THAT DAY

WHEN I LEFT.

I DID THE RIGHT THING AND I

KNEW GOD WAS GOING TO HELP

ME.

IMMEDIATELY THE ALCOHOL WAS

GONE.

Reporter: AFTER SEEING

THE DRAMATIC CHANGE IN

BOBBY, LAURIE PRAYED TO

SURRENDER HER LIFE TO CHRIST

THE NEXT WEEK IN CHURCH.

ALL I KNEW IS WHEN I LEFT

THAT NIGHT, I KNEW MY LIFE

WAS DIFFERENT.

I TRULY MEANT BUSINESS THAT

TIME.

NO ONE HAD TO TELL ME YOU

HAVE TO STOP DRINKING AND

DOING DRUGS.

I KNEW I WAS GOING TO GIVE

THOSE THINGS UP.

Reporter: BOBBY AND

LAURIE WERE BAPTIZED.

AND AS THEY PUT GOD FIRST IN

THEIR MARRIAGE, THEY LEARNED

HOW TO LOVE ONE ANOTHER.

I KNEW WE FINALLY DID

SOMETHING RIGHT IN OUR LIFE,

AND I DIDN'T WANT TO LOSE

THAT.

EVERY OPPORTUNITY I HAD TO

COMPLIMENT HER ON HER FOOD

OR HOW SHE WAS DRESSED -- I

MEAN STUFF I DIDN'T DO ONCE

WE GOT MARRY, THAT I STARTED

DOING.

Reporter: BOBBY AND

LAURIE HAVE TWO CHILDREN,

JUSTIN AND BRITTANY, AND

FIVE GRANDCHILDREN.

BOBBY AND HIS SON, JUSTIN,

STILL RUN THEIR COMPANY,

"GOODSON LOGGING AND

ALL-TERRAIN," BUT BOBBY AND

LAURIE SAY FINDING CHRIST

WAS THE BEST THING THAT EVER

HAPPENED TO THEM.

THE MOST IMPORTANT THING

GOD HAS DONE TO ME IS BY

SAVING ME.

BY DOING THAT, HE HAS SAVED

MY MARRIAGE.

WE HAVE A LEGACY THAT IS

GOING TO LIVE ON.

OUR CHILDREN LOVE THE LORD.

OUR GRANDKIDS GO TO CHURCH.

IT IS SOMETHING MONEY CAN'T

BUY, ONLY GOD CAN GIVE YOU.

JESUS CHRIST IS MY

SALVATION.

HE IS MY SAVIOR.

I OWE EVERYTHING THAT I HAVE

TODAY, MY FAMILY, WHICH IS

THE MOST IMPORTANT THING

ASIDE FROM HIM, AND MY

HUSBAND, AND ALL OF THE

MATERIAL BLESSINGS.

I JUST CANNOT WAIT TO GET TO

HEAVEN.

I JUST CANNOT WAIT TO SEE

THE PERSON THAT DID THAT FOR

ME.

Gordon: AND HE WANTS TO

DO IT FOR YOU, TOO.

HE WANTS TO GIVE YOU ALL

THAT.

HE WANTS TO BE YOUR ALL IN

ALL.

HE WANTS TO SAVE YOU.

HE WANTS TO FORGIVE YOU.

HE WANTS TO BLESS YOU.

HE WANTS TO GIVE YOU A HOPE

AND A FUTURE.

HE WANTS TO SURROUND YOU AND

PLACE YOU IN A FAMILY.

NOT JUST ONE GENERATION, BUT

GENERATIONS.

SO THAT YOU CAN HAVE THE

ASSURANCE AND JUST THE PEACE

THAT COMES FROM ALL OF

THAT.

AND THEN, MOST IMPORTANTLY,

HE WANTS YOU TO BE WITH HIM

FOR ALL ETERNITY.

NOW, ALL OF THIS IS A FREE

GIFT.

IT'S A FREE GIFT.

AND GOD SAYS TO YOU TODAY, I

AM ABLE TO COMPLETELY

FORGIVE YOU AND COMPLETELY

CLEANSE YOU, SO THAT THERE

IS -- I DON'T EVEN HAVE A

MEMORY OF WHAT YOU'VE DONE

WRONG.

THAT'S WHAT HE WANTS TO DO.

NOW, YOU LOOK AT BOBBY AND

LAURIE, AND HERE THEY ARE,

AND THEY'RE GOING WAY DOWN A

WRONG TRACK.

BUT BOBBY SAYS, I'VE GONE

TOO FAR.

IF I CONTINUE, I'M JUST

GOING TO DESTROY MYSELF.

AND HE MADE A DECISION.

AND THAT DECISION WAS GO TO

CHURCH AND ASK JESUS INTO

HIS HEART.

TO TAKE FREE GIFT.

NOW, START IMAGINING LIFE

WHERE YOU DON'T HAVE ANY

CRAVINGS.

YOU LIVE ACCORDING TO THE

SPIRIT.

YOU LIVE A LIFE OF LOVE.

JUST IMAGINE THAT.

THAT CAN BE YOURS.

AND JESUS WANTS TO GIVE IT

T TO YOU FREE.

HE IS WAITING FOR YOU WITH

OPEN ARMS, JUST TO SAY, WILL

YOU COME IN?

WILL YOU MAKE ME NEW AGAIN?

WILL YOU FORGIVE ME?

AND IF YOU'LL DO THAT RIGHT

NOW, HE'LL COME.

SO IF THIS IS FOR YOU, IF

THIS IS WHAT YOU WANT, DON'T

TURN AWAY, DON'T CHANGE THE

CHANNEL.

LET'S PRAY A PRAYER AND LET

JESUS DO FOR YOU WHAT HE DID

FOR BOBBY.

HE IS ABLE TO TURN IT SO

THAT YOUR HEART DOESN'T EVEN

CRAVE IT ANYMORE.

HE IS ABLE TO DO THAT FOR

YOU.

PRAY WITH ME.

JESUS -- THAT'S RIGHT, JUST

SAY IT OUT LOUD.

JESUS, I COME TO YOU, AND I

ASK THAT YOU COME INTO MY

HEART.

I ASK THAT YOU FORGIVE ME OF

THE THINGS THAT I'VE DONE

WRONG, THAT YOU CLEANSE ME

AND MAKE ME NEW AGAIN.

AND, JESUS, IF YOU'LL DO

THIS, I WANT TO FOLLOW YOU

ALL OF THE DAYS OF MY LIFE.

I WANT YOU IN MY LIFE.

SO HEAR MY PRAYER.

MAKE ME NEW AGAIN.

FILL ME WITH YOUR LOVE, FILL

ME WITH YOUR PEACE, AND DO

IT NOW, FOR I ASK IT IN

JESUS' NAME.

AMEN.

IF YOU PRAYED WITH ME, THE

BIBLE SAYS -- IT'S VERY

SIMPLE NOW -- IF YOU BELIEVE

IN YOUR HEART AND THEN

CONFESS WITH YOUR MOUTH, YOU

SHALL BE SAVED.

WHAT I WANT YOU TO DO IS DO

THAT, MAKE A TOLL-FREE

CALL.

1-800-759-0700.

JUST SAY, I WANT TO CONFESS

WITH MY MOUTH THAT I WANT

JESUS IN MY LIFE.

CONFESS WITH YOUR MOUTH --

BELIEVE IN YOUR HEART AND

CONFESS WITH YOUR MOUTH.

DO IT RIGHT NOW.

WHEN YOU CALL, WE'VE GOT

SOMETHING FOR YOU.

IT'S A FREE PACT.

THERE IS A C.D. TEACHING.

WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO BE A

CHRISTIAN?

WHAT ARE THE FOUNDATIONS OF

THE FAITH?

HOW DO YOU LIVE THE

CHRISTIAN LIFE?

ALL OF THAT IS FREE.

ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS CALL

US, 1-800-759-0700.

SONG, "LOVE IS NOT A

FIGHT."

Reporter: WARREN

BARFIELD STARTED PLAYING THE

*

* SPACE IN OUR LIVES FOR A

LITTLE ONE *

KNEW BETTER THAN TO WAIT ON

YOU *

* IF YOU'RE WAITING FOR THE

RIGHT TIME *

RIGHT BY *

* ALWAYS PLANNING, NEVER

MOVING *

* ALWAYS PRAYING, NEVER

[APPLAUSE]

Kristi: OH, WARREN,

THAT WAS WONDERFUL.

THANK YOU.

Kristi: THANK YOU SO

MUCH.

IT IS NICE MEETING YOU, BY

THE WAY.

I WAS BACK THERE LISTENING

TO THE LYRICS, THINKING

ABOUT THE RIGHT TIME.

AS CHRISTIANS, WE'RE ALWAYS

WAITING FOR GOD TO MOVE, FOR

THAT RIGHT TIME, FOR HIM TO

GIVE US THE GREEN LIGHT.

SOMETHING MY MOM ALWAYS

SAID, KRISTI, A LOT OF TIMES

WE SIT AND WAIT, GOD, SHOULD

WE?

MY MOM SAID IT IS NOT ABOUT

WAITING FOR THE GREEN LIGHT,

BUT GO UNTIL GOD SAYS STOP.

AND MY MOM SAYS, WE'RE

ALWAYS PLANNING BUT WE NEVER

ACTUALLY MOVE.

AND WE'RE ALWAYS PRAYING,

BUT WE'RE NEVER ACTUALLY

DOING.

AND I THINK THERE IS

SOMETHING TO BE STEPPING OUT

IN FAITH.

MY MOM GAVE ME THAT ADVICE

AS A KID AND IT HAS ALWAYS

STUCK WITH ME THROUGH LIFE.

Kristi: I LOVE THAT.

THAT HAS BEEN A PERTINENT

ASPECT OF YOUR LIFE.

I READ YOU WERE IN COLLEGE,

AND YOU WERE PLANNING MUSIC

MORE THAN YOUR CLASSES --

I'M NOT TELLING ON YOU,

WARREN.

IT'S COMMON KNOWLEDGE.

MY PARENTS KNEW.

Kristi: HOW DID FAITH

PLAY A PART IN THAT?

MY DAD IS A PASTOR, AND

MY DAD WOULD LEAVE A TOWN

AND MOVE OUR FAMILY TO A

WHOLE OTHER PLACE TO LIVE

BECAUSE HE BELIEVED GOD

CALLED HIM.

AND WHEN I CAME TO MY

PARENTS AND I SAID, I

BELIEVE THAT GOD IS CALLING

ME TO DO THIS.

THEY DIDN'T GO, MAYBE YOU

SHOULD GET SOME SAFETY

FIRST.

THEY WERE LIKE, IF YOU FEEL

GOD IS CALLING YOU, YOU YOU

SHOULD GO.

AND MEETING MY WIFE, AND

THIS WORKED OUT.

YES, WE TOOK A STEP, NOT

KNOWING HOW IT WOULD HAPPEN,

AND GOD PROVIDED FOR US.

WE HAVE TWO CHILDREN NOW, A

BOY NAMED MONTGOMERY AND A

GIRL NAMED ADA BETH.

AND YOU'RE LIKE, ARE WE

READY?

YOU HAVE TO JUST GO AND

BELIEVE THAT GOD IS CAPABLE

AND ABLE.

Kristi: I LOVE IT.

I'M ALMOST CURIOUS WHEN

PEOPLE WRITE ALBUMS AND PUT

THEM TOGETHER, HOW DO THEY

NAME THEM?

WHERE DID RED BIRD COME

FROM?

I WRITE ABOUT MY FAMILY,

AND AS I'M LEARNING, AS A

HUSBAND AND A DAD.

I PUT MY KIDS TO BED EVERY

NIGHT WHEN I'M HOME, AND WE

SAY OUR PRAYERS AND SING

SONGS.

WE ALWAYS SING THREE SONGS.

I WANTED TO WRITE A SONG FOR

THEM.

SO I SAT DOWN WITH A GUITAR,

AFTER PUTTING THEM TO BED

ONE NIGHT, AND STARTED

WRITING THIS LULLABY, AND

WANTED TO SAY, I'M ALWAYS

GOING TO BE HERE FOR YOU.

AND THE RED BIRD WAS SORT OF

THE IMAGE I KI CAME UP WITH

THE RED BIRD DOESN'T

MIGRATE.

WHEN OTHER BIRDS ARE LEAVING

FOR COLD WEATHER, THE RED

BIRD STAYS.

WHEN THINGS GET TOUGH, I'M

GOING TO BE HERE FOR YOU.

I'M NOT LEAVING TO FIND

COMFORT.

AS I LOOKED INTO IT MORE, I

FOUND OUT THAT THE RED BIRD

IS A MONOGMOUS BIRD.

AND I THOUGHT IT IS A GREAT

ANALOGY.

I WANT TO BE THERE FOR MY

WIFE, AND I WANT TO BE THE

RED BIRD FOR MY KIDS, AND

THEY CAN COUNT ON ME

ALWAYS.

Kristi: I LOVE THAT,

WARREN.

WARREN'S NEW C.D. IS CALLED

"RED BIRD" AND IT'S

AVAILABLE ON iTUNES.

TO GET A COPY, ALL YOU HAVE

TO DO IS LOG ON TO

CBN.COM.

THE THING I'M EXCITED ABOUT

IS YOU'RE GOING TO PLAY US

TO BREAK.

SING US A SONG AND TELL US

MORE ABOUT THE RED BIRD,

WARREN.

I WILL.

THANK YOU.

* YOU DON'T HAVE TO WORRY

* IN YOUR TIME OF TROUBLE

* I'LL BE THERE

Lee: STILL AHEAD, SHE

WAS 20 YEARS OLD.x

I HAD TRACK MARKS

LITERALLY FROM MY FEET TO MY

NECK.

Lee: IN JAIL AND

PREGNANT.

I DON'T WANT TO HAVE MY

BABY HERE.

Lee: HOW THIS YOUNG

MOTHER BEAT THE ODDS.

I'VE BEEN SET FREE.

Gordon: WELL, THE

UNITED STATES ICON, UNCLE

SAM, HAS LONG BEEN

ASSOCIATED WITH RECRUITING

FOR THE MILITARY.

BUT THE UNCLE SAM YOU'RE

ABOUT TO MEET IS INTO A

DIFFERENT KIND OF

RECRUITMENT.

Reporter: TERRY HORN,

KNOWN AS UNCLE SAM, AND HIS

WIFE CYNTHIA, HAVE BEEN

TEACHING KIDS ABOUT THE

BIBLE FOR OVER 40 YEARS.

THEY TAKE THEIR MOBILE

CHURCH, CALLED THE

CHURCHCAM, TO

NEIGHBORHOODS.

I DRESS IN THIS CRAZY

COSTUME, BUT I LOVE YOU AND

LOVE YOUR KIDS.

Reporter: THEY USE VAN

TRIL VAN TRILLTRILOQUISEM

AND TOYS.

EVERYTHING THAT WE TRY TO

DO WITH THE KIDS FROM THE

GOSPEL AND TEACHING THEM THE

WORD BECAUSE THEY DON'T KNOW

THE WORD, WHEN THEY SEE IT

ON "SUPERBOOK," THEY

CONNECT.

I CAN'T BRAG ENOUGH ABOUT

"SUPERBOOK."

MY KIDS GREW UP ON

"SUPERBOOK," THE V.H.S.

VERSION, BUT THIS VERSION

BLOWS THAT VERSION OUT OF

THE WATER.

THE CHARACTERS ARE RIGHT ON

WITH WHAT THEY'RE SAYING IN

THE SCRIPT, IT'S BIBLE.

Reporter: AND THE KIDS

OF JACKSONVILLE, FLORIDA,

LOVE "SUPERBOOK."

WE HAVE 13-YEAR-OLDS AND

14-YEAR-OLDS, WHO ASK ME,

WHEN THEY SEE ME, UNCLE SAM,

THE NEXT TIME YOU SHOW A

MOVIE, CAN IT BE

"SUPERBOOK"?

ABSOLUTELY.

MY FAVORITE PART WAS WHEN

DANIEL PRAYED TO GOD SO THE

LIONS WOULDN'T EAT HIM.

I LEARNED TO LISTEN AND

NOT DISOBEY.

MY FAVORITE PART OF

"SUPERBOOK" IS WHEN THE KING

HAD TO FREE THE ISRAELITES.

Gordon: CHILDREN LOVE

"SUPERBOOK," AND WE WANT TO

GET THEM EVEN MORE

EPISODES.

OUR GOAL IS OVER THE NEXT

FIVE YEARS, 300 MILLION

CHILDREN AROUND THE WORLD TO

SEE THE "SUPERBOOK" SERIES.

SO WE'RE GOING TO START NEXT

YEAR BROADCASTING.

WE'RE IN THE MIDDLE OF

FINISHING UP THE FIRST 13

EPISODES, SO WE HAVE A

TELEVISION SEASON THAT WILL

GO OUT.

AND THEN WE'LL TRANSLATE IT

INTO 38 LANGUAGES SO THE

CHILDREN OF THE WORLD WILL

GET IT.

WE'RE HOPING TO LAUNCH, I

BELIEVE, IN MARCH, IN THE

PHILIPPINES.

SO WHAT WE'RE ASKING FOR IS

FOR YOU TO HELP WITH THE

PRODUCTION COSTS.

JUST SAY, YES, I WANT TO BE

A PART OF IT.

AND FOR A GIFT OF $25, WE'LL

SEND YOU THE LATEST EPISODE,

WHICH IS JUST BEING

RELEASED, THE MIRACLES OF

JESUS.

IF YOU'RE PART OF THE

"SUPERBOOK" D.V.D. CLUB, IT

IS ALREADY ON ITS WAY TO

YOU.

IF YOU'RE NOT PART OF IT,

YOU CAN JOIN THAT AS WELL,

AND THAT WAY YOU'RE

AUTOMATICALLY GOING TO GET

EACH NEW EPISODE AS IT IS

RELEASED.

YOU WON'T JUST GET ONE

D.V.D.

YOU'LL GET ONE PLUS TWO MORE

THAT YOU CAN SHARE WITH

OTHERS.

YOU CAN SHARE WITH YOUR

CHURCH AND WITH MINISTRIES

TO CHILDREN.

WE WANT TO GET THE BIBLE

STORIES OUT FOR THE CHILDREN

TO UNDERSTAND.

WHEN THE BIBLE CHARACTERS

ARE TALKING, THEY'RE TALKING

VERSES FROM THE BIBLE.

WE WANT TO MAKE IT FUN.

WE WANT TO MAKE IT

ENTERTAINING.

BUT WE ALSO WANT TO BE VERY

SERIOUS ABOUT GETTING THE

GOSPEL OUT TO THE CHILDREN

OF THE WORLD.

SO IF YOU WANT TO BE A PART

OF IT, CALL US.

1-800-759-0700.

OR YOU CAN LOG ON TO

CBN.COM.

ON THE "SUPERBOOK" PAGE, ON

THE GIVING PAGE, YOU CAN

ALSO GET CAUGHT UP.

WE HAVE EIGHT EPISODES THAT

HAVE ALREADY BEEN RELEASED.

"THE MIRACLES OF JESUS" IS

THE NINTH EPISODE.

WE'RE WELL ON OUR WAY TO THE

FIRST 13.

WE SHOULD HAVE THEM ALL BY

JANUARY.

IT WILL BE A GREAT YEAR NEXT

YEAR AS THIS GOES AROUND THE

WORLD.

Kristi: AND WHAT A

PHENOMENAL CHRISTMAS GIFT

THIS WILL BE.

Gordon: WAIT JUST A

LITTLE BIT BECAUSE IN JUST A

FEW WEEKS, WE'RE GOING TO BE

OFFERING A TWO-PACK, THE

LAST SUPPER PLUS THE FIRST

CHRISTMAS.

THAT WILL BE READY BY THE

END OF THIS MONTH.

Kristi: I LOVE IT.

AND YOU'RE GOING TO LOVE IT,

TOO.

MY SON LOVES IT, BY THE

WAY.

UP NEXT, A HARD-CORE DRUG

ADDICT MAKES AN AMAZING

COMEBACK.

IF YOU OR SOMEONE YOU KNOW

HAS A DRUG PROBLEM, CALL

THEM UP RIGHT NOW BECAUSE

THEY DO NOT WANT TO MISS

IT.

Kristi: WELL, TODAY

SAMANTHA MOSLEY IS A

CONFIDENT YOUNG PROFESSIONAL

AND MOTHER.

AND THAT'S A MIRACLE.

WHY?

BECAUSE JUST A FEW YEARS

AGO, SAMANTHA WAS A DRUG

ADDICT, SERVING TIME IN

JAIL.

I HAD TRACK MARKS

LITERALLY FROM MY FEET TO MY

NECK.

I WAS COVERED.

IT WAS A QUICK, EASY HIGH.

AND IT WAS SOMETHING THAT I

COULD DO ANYWHERE.

IT CONSUMED EVERY PART OF MY

LIFE.

Reporter: SAMANTHA

MOSLEY STARTED USING DRUGS

WHEN SHE WAS 12 YEARS OLD AS

A WAY TO FIT IN.

BY THE TIME SHE WAS 18,

SAMANTHA WAS A HARD-CORE

DRUG ADDICT.

SHE RAN AWAY FROM HOME AND

GOT INVOLVED IN AN ABUSIVE

RELATIONSHIP WITH A MAN

TWICE HER AGE.

HE INTRODUCED ME TO

HARDER DRUGS, WHERE I BECAME

ADDICTED TO CRACK COCAINE.

I BEGAN DOING ANYTHING TO

FEED MY ADDICTION.

AND I ENDED UP GETTING

ARRESTED FOR POSSESSION OF

DRUGS.

Reporter: SAMANTHA WAS

SIX MONTHS PREGNANT AND HIGH

WHEN SHE WENT TO JAIL.

WHEN I WAS THERE, IT WAS

SUMMERTIME AND WAS HOT.

AND I DIDN'T WANT TO GO

OUTSIDE FOR RECREATION.

AND THE ALTERNATIVE WAS TO

GO TO A CHAPEL SERVICE.

WHEN I STARTED TO GO AND

HEAR ABOUT GOD AND JESUS AND

HIS FORGIVENESS AND HIS

LOVE, SOMETHING TOUCHED MY

HEART AND I KNEW THAT THERE

WAS SOMETHING GREATER.

AND I JUST STARTED PRAYING.

AND MY PRAYERS WERE SO

SIMPLE, BUT IT WAS, GOD, I

NEED TO GET OUT OF HERE.

I NEED TO DO SOMETHING

BETTER WITH MY LIFE FOR MY

CHILD.

I DON'T WANT TO HAVE MY BABY

HERE.

Reporter: SAMANTHA

REACHED OUT TO HER PARENTS

FOR HELP.

THEY STARTED LOOKING FOR

PROGRAMS, BUT EVERYWHERE

THEY FOUND SAID I COULD

COME, BUT ONCE I HAD MY BABY

I WOULD HAVE TO LEAVE.

I KNEW THAT WASN'T AN

OPTION.

I KNEW I NEEDED SOMEWHERE

THAT I COULD HAVE MY CHILD x

WITH ME.

Reporter: SAMANTHA'S

MOTHER LEARNED ABOUT NEW

LIFE HOME FOR WOMEN AND

CHILDREN, A REHABILITATION

PROGRAM SPONSORED IN PART BY

CBN.

THE PROGRAM ALLOWS MOTHERS

TO BRING THEIR CHILDREN AS

THEY GO THROUGH RECOVERY.

SHE GOT ALL OF THE

INFORMATION, AND SHE SENT IT

TO ME.

AND I JUST STARTED PRAYING.

I USED TO JUST SIT AND STARE

AT A PICTURE OF THE HOUSE

AND SAID, THIS IS WHERE I'M

GOING TO BE.

ONE DAY I KNEW IN MY HEART

THAT WAS GOING TO HAPPEN.

Reporter: SAMANTHA WENT

DIRECTLY FROM JAIL TO THE

PROGRAM.

I WILL NEVER FORGET, I

PULLED UP TO THE FRONT OF

THE HOUSE.

WHEN I GOT OUT OF THE CAR,

THERE WERE TWO STAFF

STANDING OUTSIDE AND THEY

JUST EMBRACED ME.

IT WAS JUST THE MOST

INCREDIBLE FEELING BECAUSE

THEY JUST LOVED ME.

BACK THEN I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT

IT WAS, BUT I KNOW IT WAS

THE LOVE OF CHRIST THAT

EMBRACED ME.

IT CONSUMED ME.

IT WAS THE SAME FEEL WITH

THE DRUGS, BUT IT WAS LOVE,

AND IT WAS SOMETHING I NEVER

EXPERIENCED BEFORE IN MY

LIFE.

Reporter: SAMANTHA GAVE

HER LIFE TO CHRIST.

AFTER HER DAUGHTER WAS

BORN, SHE STARTED PLANNING

FOR THE FUTURE.

I HAD MY G.E.D.

I NEVER WENT TO HIGH SCHOOL,

BUT I REALLY WANTED TO HELP

WOMEN.

AND I KNEW THROUGH THE

ENCOURAGEMENT AND GRACE AND

THE STAFF HERE, THAT GOING

BACK TO SCHOOL WOULD BE THE

BEST WAY TO ACHIEVE THOSE

GOALS.

Reporter: SAMANTHA

CHOSE TO ATTEND REGENT

UNIVERSITY'S ONLINE PROGRAM

TO GET HER BACHELOR'S DEGREE

IN COUNSELLING.

REGENT UNIVERSITY JUST

OFFERED ME THE OPPORTUNITY

TO BE ABLE TO GO TO SCHOOL

ONLINE, TO GET A DEGREE IN A

SECULAR DISCIPLINE OF

PSYCHOLOGY, WITH A CHRISTIAN

BASIS, AND BE ABLE TO TAKE

CARE OF MY DAUGHTER.

EVEN THOUGH I WAS AN ONLINE

STUDENT, I FELT LIKE I KNEW

MY TMPS AN TEACHERS AND I

COULD TALK TO THEM IF I HAD

AN ISSUE OR PROBLEM OR

NEEDED CLARIFICATION ON

SOMETHING.

I LOVED LEARNING PSYCHOLOGY

WITH A CHRISTIAN

FOUNDATION.

Reporter: SAMANTHA

GRADUATED WITH HONORS FROM

REGENT UNIVERSITY IN

MAY 2012.

TODAY SHE IS AN ACTIVE

MOTHER, BUT WORKS TO COUNSEL

OTHER WOMEN IN THE RECOVERY

PROGRAM AND NEW LIFE HOME.

I DON'T HAVE TO LIVE

UNDER THE STIGMA THAT I'LL

BE A DRUG ADDICT FOR THE

REST OF MY LIFE.

I'VE BEEN SET FREE.

I THINK WALKING IN THAT

TRUTH AND THE NEWNESS OF

LIFE IS WHAT CHANGES US, AND

KNOWING WE DON'T HAVE TO BE

THOSE PEOPLE FROM THE PAST.

THAT WE DO HAVE AN

OPPORTUNITY AND A SECOND

CHANCE AT LIFE THAT ONLY

COMES THROUGH CHRIST.

Kristi: I LOVE THAT.

YOU KNOW, GOD SAYS HE HAS

GIVEN US A HOPE AND A

FUTURE.

AND HE USES US AND DIFFERENT

PEOPLE TO PROVIDE THAT.

AND WHAT A WONDERFUL STORY

OF HOW YOU, REGENT

UNIVERSITY, AND PEOPLE

REALLY REACHED OUT TO HER.

WE HAVE MORE INFORMATION ON

NEW LIFE HOME FOR WOMEN AND

CHILDREN ON OUR WEBSITE.

ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS LOG ON

TO CBN.COM.

IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO KNOW

MORE ABOUT REGENT

UNIVERSITY, DIAL THE NUMBER

ON YOUR SCREEN.

1-800-373-5504, OR YOU CAN

LOG ON TO REGENT.E.D.U..

Gordon: WHAT A

WONDERFUL STORY.

Kristi: IT IS LOVELY.

SPEAKING OF LOVELY, WE'VE

GOT A LOT OF QUESTIONS OUT

THERE.

SO WE'RE GOING TO JUMP RIGHT

IN.

ANITA SAYS, "MY FAMILY AND

FRIENDS ARE DEVASTATING

ABOUT THE RESULTS OF OUR

ELECTION.

I KNOW MORE PEOPLE WERE

PRAYING FOR MITT ROMNEY TO

BE ELECTED.

WHAT HAPPENED TO THE 2

CHRONICLES.

IF THE RESULT OF PRAYER

ISN'T GOD'S WILL, THEN WHY

BOTHER PRAYING?"

Consuelo:

Gordon: THE LORD'S

PRAYER IS THAT WE SHOULD

PRAY THAT GOD'S WILL WILL BE

DONE ON EARTH AS IT IS IN

HEAVEN.

THE REASON WE'RE ASKED TO

PRAY IS BECAUSE GOD'S WILL

IS NOT BEING DONE.

WHEN YOU LOOK AT IT IN THAT

LENS, YOU SHOULD BE

ENCOURAGED TO PRAY EVEN

MORE, AND ESPECIALLY FOR OUR

LEADERSHIP AND OUR

GOVERNMENT, REGARDLESS OF

WHO WON.

GOD IS NOT A REPUBLICAN AND

HE IS NOT A DEMOCRAT.

HE IS ABOVE ALL OF THAT.

IF WE WANT HIS BLESSINGS, WE

NEED TO PRAY IN HIS ACCORD

DANCE.

1 TIM 2: "THEREFORE I EXALT

FIRST OF ALL SUP

SUPPLECATIONS, AND PRAYERS

AND INTERCESSIONS BE GIVING

OF THANKS BUT MADE FROM ALL

MEN.

THAT WE MAY LEAD QUIET AND

PEACE OF A LIFE IN ALL

GODLINESS, FOR THIS IS THE

GOOD AND THE ACCEPTABLE IN

GOD OUR SAVIOR, WHO DESIRES

ALL MEN TO BE SAVED AND TO

COME TO THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE

TRUTH."

THAT SHOULD ENCOURAGE OUR

PRAYER LIFE.

I WOULD ENCOURAGE YOU AND

ANYONE DISAPPOINTED IN THE

OUTCOME OF THE ELECTION,

PRAY FOR PRESIDENT OBAMA.

GIVE THANKS FOR HIM.

ASK GOD TO GIVE HIM WISDOM.

ASK GOD'S MERCY TO BE OVER

HIM.

IF WE DO THAT -- AND THERE

IS PLENTY OF PRECEDENT FOR

IT.

WHEN YOU GO BACK TO SAMUEL,

HE SAID, I WON'T SIN AND NOT

PRAY FOR YOU.

HE DIDN'T PICK PARTICULAR

PEOPLE IN ISRAEL TO PRAY FOR

AND NOT TO PRAY FOR.

HE PRAYED FOR ALL OF THEM

AND THAT GOD WOULD HAVE

MERCY ON ALL OF THEM.

WHY?

BECAUSE HE WANTED THEM

SAVED.

IF YOU UNDERSTAND IT IS

GOD'S WILL FOR ALL TO BE

SAVED, THAT WILL INFORM YOUR

PRAYER LIFE.

SO DON'T BE DISAPPOINTED.

UNDERSTAND THAT GOD'S PLAN

AND PURPOSE IS STILL BEING

DONE.

AND WE'RE HIS AMBASSADORS,

AND WE'RE TO PRAY THAT HIS

WILL WILL BE

DONE ON EARTHS

IT IS IN HEAVY.

Kristi: FANTASTIC

ANSWER.

Gordon: PRAY FOR

OBAMA.

WE WERE DOING IT DURING THE

WHOLE TIME OF PRAYER UP TO

AND DURING THE ELECTION.

I PRAY FOR PRESIDENT OBAMA.

WE NEED TO PRAY FOUR HIM.

WE NEED TO PRAY FOR OUR

LEADERSHIP.

WE'RE FACING VERY DIFFICULT

TIMES, FROM AN ECONOMIC

STANDPOINT, FROM A TERRORISM

STANDPOINT, WHAT IS GOING ON

IN SYRIA, IRAN, AND ISRAEL.

WE NEED TO BE PRAYING.

Kristi: YOU'RE RIGHT.

AND WE NEED TO CAUTION

OURSELVES BECAUSE SO OFTEN

WE PUT OUR HOPE IN LEADERS

AND THE GOVERNMENT, WHEN WE

NEED TO REMEMBER THAT OUR

HOPE LIES IN THE LORD AND

THE LORD ALONE.

Gordon: MEN WILL ALWAYS

LET YOU DOWN.

THEY'LL MAKE MISTAKES.

LEADERS WILL LET YOU DOWN.

BUT WHEN YOU YOUR HOPE IN

HIM, YOU'RE IN A GOOD

PLACE.

Kristi: ABSOLUTELY.

IF I HAD A TAMBOURINE, I'D

BE SHAKING IT.

Gordon: CAN I GET A

WITNESS.

WE LEAVE YOU WITH THESE

WORDS FROM 1 PETER 4: "ABOVE

ALL THINGS, HAVE FERVENT

LOVE FOR ONE ANOTHER, FOR

LOVE WILL COVER A MULTITUDE

OF SINS."

FOR KRISTI, FOR LEE, FOR ME

AND ALL OF US, GOD BLESS

YOU.

BE IN PRAYER FOR OUR NATION,

BE IN PRAYER FOR OUR

PRESIDENT, AND LET'S SEE

WHAT GOD WILL DO.

GOD BLESS YOU.
