When her pastor crossed the line with her sexually Katrina wanted out of this life. Plus, riding out a hurricane in a vehicle became deadly when a tree fell on the roof of Morganne's car.

Lee: A CITY ON LIFE
SUPPORT.
IT'S JUST SUCH
DEVASTATION AND POVERTY AND
CRIME AND DRUGS.
Lee: IT IS A NEW LEASE
ON LIFE.
PLUS...STORM CHASING A
HURRICANE.
MORGAN HAS ALWAYS WANTED
TO SEE A STORM.
Lee: A FAMILY TAKES A
HIT, AND THEIR DAUGHTER'S
LIFE HANGS IN THE BALANCE.
THEY TOLD US THE CHANCE
HER SURVIVING IS NOT GOOD.
AND IF SHE DOES...

Pat: WELL, WELCOME,
FOLKS, TO THIS EDITION OF
"THE 700 CLUB."
THE BOSTON MARATHON BOMBINGS
HAVE REIGNITED THE FEAR OF
TERRORISM ACROSS THE
NATION.
YOU'VE ALSO RENEWED THE FEAR
THAT AMERICA COULD EVEN GET
INTO A SURVEILLANCE
SOCIETY.
Terry: THE TERROR
ATTACK HAS POLITICIANS
DEBATING NATIONAL SECURITY
AND IMMIGRATION.
BUT AS JOHN JESSUP REPORTS,
THE AMERICAN PEOPLE ARE JUST
AS WORRIED ABOUT THEIR
PRIVACY.
Reporter: AFTER CAMERAS
CAPTURED THE CHAOTIC SCENE
AT THE BOSTON MARATHON
FINISH LINE, THE CITY'S
POLICE CHIEF SAYS HE WANTS
MORE CAMERAS TO HELP LAW
ENFORCEMENT KEEP WATCH ON
POSSIBLE HIGH-VALUED
TARGETED AREAS DOWNTOWN.
A COLLECTION OF VIDEO, BOTH
PRIVATE AND PUBLIC, AND CELL
PHONES, HELPED IDENTIFY
THEIR SUBJECTS.
NOW OTHER CITIES MAY WANT TO
FOLLOW SUIT.
BUT PRIVACY ACTIVISTS --
PREVENTING CRIMES ARE NOT
SOMETHINGTHAT CAMERA
SYSTEMS ARE SHOWN TO BE
USEFUL FOUR.
Reporter: MARK'S
ORGANIZATION KEEPS A
WATCHFUL EYE ON THOSE WHO
ARE MONITORING D.C.'S VAST
NETWORK OF CAMERAS.
WHILE HE BELIEVES THE
TECHNOLOGY CAN BE USEFUL, HE
SAYS IT ISALSO LIMITED.
YOU LOOK AT STUDY AFTER
STUDY, AND THE LESSON THAT
YOU TAKES THAT
CAMERAS CAN BE HELPFUL AFTER
THE FACT.
BUT THEYRARELY PREVENT
CRIMES, AND THEY CERTAINLY
DIDN'T IN BOSTON.
Reporter: TEXAS
CONGRESSMAN LOUIE GOMER HAS
OTHER CONCERNS.
TECHNOLOGY IS A FANTASTIC
INSTRUMENT TO FIGHT CRIME,
BUT THE DANGER IS THAT
EVERYONE GETS MONITORED ALL
THE TIME.
Reporter: HE IS IS
WORRIED THE EXPANSION OF
SURVEILLANCE COULD LEAD TO
GOVERNMENT OVERREACH, WITH
BIG BROTHER CAPABLE OF
KNOWING WHAT VIRTUALLY
EVERYONE HAS BEEN DOING.
WE'RE CLOSE TO THAT NOW.
THEY HAVE THE CAPABILITY OF
GOING ON AND FINDING OUT
WHAT YOU'VE PURCHASED OR
WHAT WEBSITES YOU GO TO,
WHAT E-MAILS YOU SEND.
Reporter: IT IS AN EVEN
GREATER CONCERN WITH THE USE
OF UNMANNED DRONES FLYING
OVER OFF-AIR SPACE.
DRONE SURVEILLANCE RAISES
ISSUES THAT ARE SIMILAR TO
THE CAMERA SURVEILLANCE IN
CITIES.
THIS IS ANOTHER USEFUL
TECHNOLOGY.
IT HAS PUBLIC BENEFIT, BUT
THIS SHOULD NOT BECOME A
TYPE OF SURVEILLANCE OF ALL
ACTIVITY THAT PEOPLE ENGAGE
IN.
THAT WOULD BE GOING TOO
FAR.
Reporter: THE ADVANT OF
FEWER TECHNOLOGIES WILL
CONTINUE TO SPARK CONCERNS
ABOUT PRIVACY, AND THE
POST-9/11 WORLD, THE TRADE
OFF BETWEEN FEELING SECURE
MAKES ANYONE PRIVACY TO BE
DEBATED FOR YEARS TO COME.
JOHN JESSUP, CBN NEWS,
WASHINGTON.
Pat: THANKS, JOHN.
LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, IF YOU
READ THAT CHILLING BOOK,
"1984 GEORGE ORWELL," AND IT
WAS A SHOCKER WHEN IT WAS
PUBLISHED, BUT NOW PEOPLE
SORT OF TAKE IT FOR
GRANTED.
THINK WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IF
YOU WAKE UP IN THE MORNING
AND THERE IS A CAMERA THAT
WATCHES WHAT YOU DO.
YOU WALK OUT OF YOUR HOME,
AND YOU HAVE TO LOG INTO
SOME KIND OF A BOX THAT
TELLS WHERE YOU ARE AND WHAT
TIME YOU STARTED YOUR DAY.
AND THEN YOU GET ON A BUS OR
YOU GET IN YOUR CAR,
WHATEVER YOU DO, AND WHAT DO
YOU DO DURING THE DAY?
WHEN YOU GET TO YOUR OFFICE,
YOU PUNCH ANOTHER BUTTON AND
YOU LOG IN.
ALL OF THE TIME YOU'RE UNDER
SURVEILLANCE, EVERY TIME YOU
MOVE.
WHEN IS THERE FREEDOM?
WELL, THERE IS NO FREEDOM.
AND THAT WAS THE WHOLE
PREMISE OF "1984," AND THERE
CAME A TIME WHEN, QUOTE,"BIG
BROTHER" MONITORED
EVERYTHING.
WE'RE COMING TO THAT NOW.
IT IS NOT A PLEASANT
SITUATION, BUT THIS IS WHAT
THE BIBLE TALKS ABOUT WHEN
IT SAYS YOU CAN'T BUY OR
SELL WITHOUT THE MARK OF THE
BEAST.
YOU HAVE TO BE PART OF THAT
WORLD SYSTEM.
AND A FEW, AND VERY, VERY
FEW, CAN ESCAPE, BECAUSE
RIGHT NOW THEY CAN GO DOWN
INTO THE BUSH IN DARKEST
AFRICA AND HUNT YOU DOWN.
SO YOU SAY, WELL, WE'RE
GOING TO FEEL SECURE --
SECURE FROM WHOM?
I BELIEVE THE AMERICAN
PEOPLE ARE MORE AFRAID OF
THE OVERREACH OF BIG
GOVERNMENT, THAN THEY ARE
SOME OCCASIONAL BOMBER.
EVEN IF THE BOMBER KILLS A
FEW PEOPLE.
THEY WOULD STILL RATHER HAVE
THEIR FREEDOM THAN TO HAVE
BIG BROTHER IN CONSTANT
SURVEILLANCE.
WELL, THE F.B.I. SAYS THAT
THEY HAVE THWARTED A NEW
TERROR ATTACK.
LEE WEBB HAS MORE FROM THE
CBN NEWSROOM.
Lee: PAT, THIS TIME THE
SUSPECT IS SAID TO BE PART
OF AN AMERICAN MALITIA
GROUP.
24-YEAR-OLD BUFORD ROGERS
WAS ARRESTED IN HIS HOME.
AUTHORITIES FOUND PIPE
BOMBS, MOLOTOV COCKTAILS AND
A ROMANIAN ASSAULT RIFLES.
HE WAS PLANNING AN ATTACK
AGAINST LOCAL RESIDENTS AND
POSSIBLY THE F.B.I.
GOVERNMENTAL OFFICIALS.
THE OBAMA ADMINISTRATION IS
ACCUSING CHINA'S MILITARY OF
CARRYING OUT COMPUTER-BASED
ATTACKS AGAINST THE U.S.
IT SAYS CHINA HAS BEEN
SPYING ON U.S., DIPLOMATIC,
ECONOMIC, AND DEFENSE
PROGRAMS.
AND THE REPORT ALSO WARNS
THAT THE COMPUTER SKILLS
NEEDED FOR THIS KIND OF
SPYING ARE SIMILAR TO THE
KIND NEEDED TO CONDUCT
CYBERWARFARE.
THIS IS THE FIRST TIME THE
U.S. HAS DIRECTLY ACCUSED
THE CHINESE GOVERNMENT AND
ITS MILITARYOF USUAL
CYBERATTACKS TO SALE U.S.
INFORMATION.
THE ATTACK ON BENGHAZI IS
BACK ON CAPITOL HILL.
IT IS FIELDING REPUBLICAN
CHARGES THAT THE OBAMA
ADMINISTRATION ISINGAGED
A COVERUP.
GEORGE THOMAS REPORTS.
Reporter: THREE MEN,
ALL CAREER STATE DEPARTMENT
EMPLOYEES, WILL TESTIFY THIS
WEEK THAT THE WHITE HOUSE
MISLED THE COUNTRY ON WHAT
HAPPENED AT THE U.S. DEP
MASU.S. DIPLOMATIC
MISSION.
ACCORDING TO INTERVIEW
TRANSCRIPTS, HE SAYS "I
THOUGHT IT WAS A TERRORIST
ATTACK FROM THE GET-GO."
I THINK EVERYBODY IN THE
MISSION THOUGHT IT WAS A
TERRORIST ATTACK FROM THE
BEGINNING.
U.S. AMBASSADOR TO LIBYA,
CHRIS STEVENS, DIED IN THE
ATTACK, ALONG WITH THREE
OTHER AMERICANS.
YET FIVE DAYS AFTER THE
ATTACK ON SEPTEMBER 11,
2012, SUSAN RICE WENT ON
MULTIPLE SUNDAY SHOWS,
BLAMING THE INCIDENT ON A
ANTIMUSLIM VIDEO THAT WENT
ON THE INTERNET.
SOME REPUBLICANS SAY THE
ADMINISTRATION'S RESPONSE
WAS CALCULATED, COMING ON
THE HEELS OF A PRESIDENTIAL
ELECTION LESS THAN TWO
MONTHS AWAY.
CLEARLY THERE WAS A
POLITICAL DECISION TO SAY
SOMETHING DIFFERENT THAN
WHAT WAS REASONABLE TO SAY.
Reporter: AND HICKS
WILL ALSO TESTIFY THAT A
SMALL TEAM OF U.S. FORCES
WERE READY TO FLY A RESCUE
MISSION TO BENGHAZI, BUT
WERE ORDERED TO STEP DOWN.
THIS DIRECTLY CONTRADICTS
THE WHITE HOUSE, WHICH SAYS
ALL AVAILABLE RESOURCES WERE
EMPLOYED TO RESPOND TO THE
ATTACK.
SOME DEMOCRATS SAY RICE'S
COMMENTS ABOUT THE ATTACK
WERE WRONG, AND REFERENCES
TO ISLAMIC EXTREMISTS AND
al-QAEDA WERE SCRUBBED FROM
HER TALK.
SOME ACCUSE THE
ADMINISTRATION OF TRYING TO
DOWN PLAY THE THREAT BY
TERRORISTS.
THERE IS A TENDENCY TO
UNDERPLAY WHAT IN FACT IS A
GROWING AND PRETTY
DANGEROUS, AND TO SOME
EXTENT, A DIFFERENT KIND OF
THREAT THAN WHAT WE WERE
FACING THREE OUR FOR YEARS
AGO.
Reporter: HICKS HAS
ALSO TOLD INVESTIGATORS THAT
AMBASSADOR RICE'S RESPONSE
MAY HAVE HAMMERED EFFORTS TO
CAPTURE THOSE.
"I THINK THE REASON IT TOOK
US SO LONG TO GET THE F.B.I.
TO BENGHAZI WAS BECAUSE OF
THOSE SUNDAY TALK SHOWS."
HICKS AND OTHERS WILL SPEAK
FOR THE FIRST TIME WHEN THEY
APPEAR BEFORE CONGRESS.
GEORGE THOMAS, CBN NEWS.
Lee: PAT, UNTIL THIS
POINT, MOST OF THE STORY HAS
BEEN COVERED BY THE MORE
CONSERVATIVES.
Pat: WHAT WAS THE BIG
THING ABOUT WATERGATE?
IT WAS THE ADMINISTRATION
LYING, LYING TO CONGRESS,
LYING ABOUT WHAT WAS GOING
ON, TRYING TO SUBVERT THE
AGENCIES OF GOVERNMENT.
WELL, THE LIBERAL MEDIA
JUMPED ON RICHARD NIXON AND
BROUGHT HIM DOWN.
HE FINALLY HAD TO RESIGN.
BUT WE'VE GOT A PRESIDENT
NOW WHO DELIBERATELY LIES.
THIS IS A LIE.
THERE IS NO QUESTION ABOUT
IT.
THEY HAVE AN AGENDA.
THE AGENDA IS, WE HAVE WON
THE WAR ON TERROR, SO THERE
ISN'T A WAR ON TERROR NAME.
AND al-QAEDA IS NO LONGER
AN OPERATIVE FORCE.
IT IS JUST A BAND OF ROGUES
OCCASIONALLY OUT THERE.
SO IF ANYTHING HAPPENS, IT
HAS TO BE SPONTANEOUS
BECAUSE OF A VIDEO.
AND SO SOME LOW-LEVEL
STAFFER IN THE CAIRO EMBASSY
DISEEDED THADECIDED SHE --
I BELIEVE IT WAS A SHE --
WAS GOING TO APOLOGIZE FOR
WHAT THE UNITED STATES DID.
AND WE'RE SORRY, AND AFTER
THAT, SOME OF THESE THINGS
BEGAN.
BUT THE WHOLE THOUGHT THAT
THIS WAS SPONTANEOUS
DEMONSTRATION IN RELATION TO
A VIDEO WAS MADE OUT OF A
HOLE CLOTH.
THEY WERE A SERIES OF LIES.
HILLARY CLINTON APPARENTLY
WAS INVOLVED IN LYING, AND
SUSAN RICE WAS SET UP AS THE
FALL GUY.
SHE MADE THE ROUND ON THE
SUNDAY TALK SHOWS AND SAID
THE MISINFORMATION OVER AND
OVER AGAIN.
HOW LONG ARE THE AMERICAN
PEOPLE GOING TO PUT UP WITH
THIS?
YOU SAY, MOST PEOPLE THEY
DON'T CARE.
BENGHAZI, WHO CARES?
WELL, IT MAKES A GREAT DEAL
OF DIFFERENCEYOUR
PRESIDENT DOESN'TTELL YOU
THE TRUTH.
Lee: PAT, THE U.S.
SENATE HASALLOWED NEW TAXES
FOR INTERNET SALES.
RIGHT NOW MOST INTERNET
SHOPPING IS TAX-FREE.
THIS BILL WILL ALLOW EACH
STATE TO START TAXING
INTERNET SELLS AS THEY
CHOOSE.
IT WILL LEVEL THE PLAYING
FIELD TO BRICK AND MORTER
STORES WHO HAVE LOST
BUSINESS.
BUT MANY SMALLER ONLINE
COMPANIES SAY THEY MAY NOT
BE ABLE TO KEEP UP WITH THE
TAX REQUIREMENTS ACROSS THE
NUMEROUS STATES WHERETHEY
DOBUSINESS.
IT FACESAN UPHILL BATTLE IN
THE HOUSE.
OBAMACARE COULD CAUSE
THOUSANDS OFVERY SICK
PEOPLETO LOSE INSURANCE
COVERAGE.
THE PRE-EXISTING PLAN IS
SUPPOSED TTHOSE
CONSIDERED UNINSURABLE.
BUT THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT
IS CAPSPENDING AT
$5 BILLION.
THAT LEAVES THE STATES WITH
THE REST OF THE BILL.
AND IN A LETTER TO THE
HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES
SECRETARY, A LEADING STATE
HEALTH OFFICIAL SAYS ENROLL
EES ARE AT INCREASE IN
PREMIUMS AND OUT OF POCKET
COSTS THAT MAY MAKE
CONTINUED ENROLLMENT COSTS
PROHIBITIVE.
AND HE WARNS THAT MANY
PEOPLE WILL SIMPLY LOSE
THEIR INSURANCE COVERAGE.
Pat: LEE, IT BREAKS MY
HEART AND IT SHOULD BAKE THE
HEART OF EVERY THINKING
AMERICAN, THAT WE HAVE
DESTROYED, OR ARE IN THE
PROCESS OF DESTROYING, THE
GREATEST HEALTH CARE SYSTEM
IN THE ENTIRE WORLD.
THIS THING IS A
MONSTROSITY.
THE PEOPLE WHO VOTED FOR IT
NEVER READ IT.
THEY DIDN'T KNOW WHAT WAS IN
IT.
NANCY PELOSI SAID WE'VE GOT
TO PASS IT SO WE CAN FIND
OUT WHAT IS IN IT.
THE HIDDEN CONSEQUENCES ARE
GIGANTIC, JUST HIDDEN
CONSEQUENCES, AND THEY'RE
JUST STARTING TO COME TO
LIGHT, AND THEY'RE GOING TO
COME TO LIGHT OVER AND OVER
AGAIN.
PEOPLE ARE GOING TO BE
HURT.
POOR FAMILIES ARE GOING TO
BE DAMAGED.
THE AMERICAN ECONOMY IS IS
GOING TO BE HURT.
IT WAS A DISASTER.
AND THIS WAS THE CENTER
PIECE OF THE OBAMA
ADMINISTRATION.
HE IS PLACED THAT IT IS
CALLED OBAMACAREMENT
OBAMACARE.
WELWELL, HE SHOULDN'T BE.
THE WHOLE THING NEEDS TO BE
SCRUBBED.
THE ENTIRE WALL NEEDS TO BE
CANCELLED, AND START ALL
OVER AGAIN.
THERE ARE CERTAIN FEATURES
IN IT, LIKE THE
AFFORDABILITY OF INSURANCE,
AND SO FORTH, THAT NEED TO
BE PUT BACK IN.
IT COULD BE DONE ON A VERY,
VERY SIMPLE BASES.
NOTHING LIKE THIS GAR
MONSTROSITY.
Lee: A COURT HAD
BLOCKED THE GOVERNMENT FROM
ENFORCINGA MANDATE WHILE
TINDEL PLUSHTINDELS
PUBLISHERS WEREARGUING IN
COURTS.
IT MEANS TINDEL HOUSE WILL
NOT HAVE TO PROVIDE
CONTROVERSIAL
ABORTION-CAUSING DRUGS WHILE
THE CASE MOVES FORWARD IN
COURT.
PAT?
Pat: GOOD FOR TINDEL.
THEY PUBLISH THE LIVING
BIBLE, AMONG OTHER THINGS.
Terry: THAT IS GOOD
NEWS.
COMING UP NEXT, IT ONCE
LOOKED LIKE A WAR ZONE.
NOW THIS HISTORIC DISTRICT
HAS HAD A FACELIFT.
SEE THE PLAN TO REBUILD
AMERICA'S POOREST CITY WHEN
WE COME BACK.
AND THEN LATER ON, SHE
WANTED TO SEE A HURRICANE
CLOSE UP, AND THIS IS WHAT
IT COST HER.
A TEENAGER'S MIRACULOUS
STORM SURVIVAL STORY IS IS
STILL AHEAD.
Pat: ACROSS AMERICA,
CITIES HAVE BEEN GOING
BANKRUPT.
AND ALONG WITH THE
BANKRUPTCY, OF COURSE, IS
THE FACT THAT THE POLICE
DEPARTMENT ISN'T FUNDED
ADEQUATELY, AND CRIME BEGINS
TO PROLIFERATE.
CHICAGO IS I CONSIDERED THE
DEADLIEST CITY IN AMERICA.
BUT IT DOESN'T TAKE FIRST
PLACE.
THE MOST VIOLENT IS CAMDEN,
NEW JERSEY, WHICH ALSO
HAPPENS TO BE THE POOREST.
AS EPHRAIM GRAHAM REPORTS,
SOME LONG-TIME RESIDENTS OF
CAMDEN ARE TRYING TO TURN
THEIR CITY AROUND.
WATCH THIS.
I NEVER FOUND CAMDEN TO
BE A BAD PLACE.
Reporter: TINA SCOTT
DESIGNS CLOTHES.
SHE BEGAN WITH BRIDAL GOWNS
AND THEN PIONEERED
CUSTOM-DESIGNED ROBES FOR
WOMEN PREACHERS.
HER GARMENTS NOW SHIP TO
GERMANY, JAPAN, THE
CARRIBEAN, AND ACROSS THE
UNITED STATES.
MIND YOU, I FLUNGED
SEWING IN HIGH SCHOOL.
I HAD TO MAKE A PURPLE
PLEADED SCHOOL, AND I
COULDN'T DO IT, AND I GOT A
FAILING GRADE.
Reporter: THE
SEAMSTRESS AND SINGLE MOM
SPENT HER LIFE CHEATING THE
ODDS.
A PERFECT EXAMPLE IS WHEN
SHE CHOSE THIS NEIGHBORHOOD
TO START HER BUSINESS.
I DON'T KNOW IF I CAN
DESCRIBE IT TO YOU.
Reporter: THE OLD
PICTURES LOOK LIKE THEY CAME
FROM A WAR ZONE.
HER SHOP, A SHELL OF A
BUILDING, WITH NO ROOF AND
NO OTHER BUSINESSES NEARBY.
I WAS LOOKING THROUGH THE
EYES OF FAITH.
IT MADE ME FEEL LIKE IT FELT
LIKE WHAT GOD WAS LEADING ME
TO.
Reporter: TODAY,
CAMDEN'S REVITALIZED
HISTORIC CITY CAPTURES
TINA'S VISION AND MORE.
BUT IT IS STILL A WORK IN
PROGRESS THAT DOESN'T
STRETCH FAR ENOUGH.
ONCE YOU LEAVE FROM THIS
AREA, WHICH IS A LOT OF NEW
BUILDINGS AND A LOT OF NEW
CONSTRUCTION, AND GO TWO OR
THREE STREETS OVER, IT LOOKS
LIKE YOU'RE IN A TOTALLY
DIFFERENT PLACE.
Reporter: WE VISITED
THOSE PLACES.
CAMDEN IS A SMALL CITY,
REALLY.
IT IS NINE SQUARES MILES.
Reporter: WITH MICHAEL
DELEON.
HE SPENT THREE YEARS
SHOOTING A DOCUMENTARY ABOUT
THE CITY.
THERE ARE 70,000, THEY
SAY, PEOPLE IN CAMDEN, AND
IT IS SO SMALL.
NO MATTER WHERE YOU DRIVE
AROUND THE CITY, THERE IS
SUCH DEVASTATION AND POVERTY
AND CRIME AND DRUGS.
Reporter: CAMDEN SITS
IN A THRIVING CITY, BUT
THEIR REALITY IS NOT NEARLY
AS BRIGHT.
MORE THAN 42% OF ITS
POPULATION LIVES BELOW THE
POVERTY LEVEL.
AT ONE TIME, CAMDEN WAS A
THRIVING FACTORY TOWN, HOME
TO CAMPBELL'S SOUP AND RCA.
THE RACE RIOTS OF 1969 AND
'71 LEFT THE CITY IN RUINS.
AND THOSE WHO COULD AFFORD
TO LEAVE DID.
AND THAT WAS FOLLOWED BY
YEARS OF POLITICAL
CORRUPTION.
WHAT WAS TROUBLING ME SO
MUCH ABOUT WHAT WAS
HAPPENING IN CAMDEN AND
OTHER URBAN CITIES IN NEW
JERSEY WAS THE AMOUNT OF
KIDS THAT WERE DYING DUE TO
VIOLENCE AND DRUG ABUSE.
I GOT A MEMBER OF MY FAMILY
KILLED, AND IT DIDN'T STOP
MY DRUG ADDICTION AND DIDN'T
STOP MY GANG INVOLVEMENT.
AND I WAS PRESENT IN THE
ROOM WHEN A GANG MEMBER SHOT
AND KILLED MY BEST FRIEND,
AND I WENT TO PRISON FOR
AGGRAVATED MANSLAUGHTER.
Reporter: AFTER SERVING
TEN YEARS, HE CHOSE DEDICATE
HIS LIFE TO HELP CHILDREN
MAKE BETTER CHOICES WITH
THEIRS.
THERE IS NOTHING WRONG
WITH THIS CITY THAT CAN'T BE
FIXED BY WHAT IS RIGHT WITH
THIS CITY.
AND THEY EN INFLUENCE, IN A
POSITIVE WAY, OTHER PEOPLE.
Reporter: HE INTRODUCED
US TO ONE OF THOSE PEOPLE.
TAWANDA JONES TURNS THE CITY
WATER TOWER INTO A DANCE
HALL FIVE DAYS A WEEK.
THIS IS CAMDEN'S
SOPHISTICATED SISTER'S DRILL
TEAM, A DANCE TROUPE JONES
STARTED WHEN SHE WAS ONLY
15.
SHE WAS INSPIRED BY HER
GRANDFATHER WHO BOUGHT THE
TEAM THEIR FIRST UNIFORMS
AND DRUMS 26 YEARS AGO.
MY GRANDFATHER JUST SEES
THE GREAT IN EVERYONE.
WHAT HE CONSTANTLY FED TO ME
IS IS THERE IS NOT ENOUGH
PEOPLE THAT CARE.
YOU HAVE TO BE ONE OF THOSE
PEOPLE.
Reporter: TAWANDA'S
GIRLS KNOW SHE CARES FROM
THE MOMENT THEY MET.
I JUST MET HER JUST ONLY
FOUR MONTHS AGO, AND SHE IS
LIKE A SECOND MOM.
SHE WANTS SO MUCH FOR ME,
AND I CAN'T BELIEVE HOW MUCH
SHE WANTS FOR ME AND HOW
MUCH SHE WANTS ME TO SUCCEED
IN LIFE.
AND THAT SURPRISED ME, YOU
KNOW?
AND I'M JUST SO HAPPY.
I LOVE HER SO MUCH.
I CAN'T EVEN SAY IT ENOUGH.
WHEN THEY'RE IN THAT
WATER TOWER, THEIR WHOLE
EXPRESSION, EVERYTHING
CHANGES.
EVERYTHING CHANGES.
THEY REALLY LEAVE A LOT AT
THE DOOR, AND THEY DANCE THE
PAIN AWAY.
Reporter: TAKE DESIREE,
WHO LOST HER FATHER WHEN SHE
WAS ONLY 3.
SHE WAS LYING ON THE
STREET AND A DRUNK
MOTORCYCLE HIT HIM.
AND HE SLIPPED A MILE OR
TWO, AND HE BROKE ALL OF HIS
BONES AND DIED.
Reporter: BUT DESIREE
IS STILL A DADDY'S GIRL.
AND SHE THOUGHT OF HIM WHEN
THEY PERFORMED ON "DANCING
WITH THE STARS."
WE HAVE NEVER HAD A
DROPOUT.
WE HAVE NEVER HAD A
DROPOUT.
GOD.
GOD.
I CAN'T POSSIBLY TAKE CREDIT
FOR NONE OF THIS.
YOU KNOW, IT'S DEFINITELY
ALL GOD.
*
WORTH THE PRICE, THE PRICE
WE HAVE TO PAY *
WHAT OTHERS SEE AS
CAMDEN, YOU KNOW, I REALLY
CAN'T SPEAK FOR THEM.
BUT THIS IS MY CITY, AND I
LOVE IT.
* THERE IS A PROMISE
Reporter: EPHRAIM
GRAHAM, CBN NEWS, CAMDEN,
NEW JERSEY.
Pat: IT'S AN INSPIRING
STORY.
CAMDEN -- WE DIDN'T MENTION
EARLIER -- WAS ONE OF THE
FIRST CITIES IN AMERICA TO
GO BANKRUPT.
BUT, TERRY, YEARS AGO, WHEN
I WOULD TAKE A TRAIN FROM
WASHINGTON TO NEW YORK,
THERE WAS A BIG SIGN
ALONGSIDE THE RAILROAD THAT
SAID, "WHAT CAMDEN MAKES,
THE WORLD TAKES."
Terry: CAMPBELL SOUP.
Pat: CAMPBELL SOUP THEY
WERE TAKING AND RCA, AND
THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN -- BUT,
HEY, THE HUMAN SPIRIT,
INDOMITABLE, AND WE TIP OUR
HATS TO THESE BRAVE PEOPLE
AND THAT DANCE TROUPE AND
OTHERS WHO ARE TRYING TO
MAKE A DIFFERENCE.
Terry: WHAT IS
ASTONISHING IS IT DOESN'T
TAKE VERY MANY PEOPLE TO
BEGIN THE PROCESS OF TURNING
IT AROUND.
IT TAKES DETERMINATION AND
COMMITMENT.
Pat: WELL, IF YOU LIVE
IN A SLUM, AND I HAVE LIVED
AND AN AREA LIKE FOR A
LITTLE WHILE, THERE IS THIS
FEELING OF HOPELESSNESS
BECAUSE THERE ARE PEOPLE ON
DRUGS --
Terry: IT IS BROKEN
DOWN.
Pat: AND IT FEEDS ON
ITSELF.
BUT A SMALL CORE CAN BEGIN
TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE.
Terry: AND THEY HAVE.
THAT'S EXCITING.
THAT'S WONDERFUL.
Pat: AND THEY HAVE.
Terry: COMING UP, A
FAMILY VENTURES OUT IN THE
MIDST OF A HURRICANE AND
GETS THE SMACKDOWN.
IT WAS LIKE A SUDDEN
STOP, WHEN THE TREE HIT THE
VAN.
WHAT WAS PIERCING THROUGH
ME IS IS THE WORDS, "MORGAN
IS NOT BREATHING."
HER TONGUE CAME OUT OF HER
MOUTH.
Terry: SEE HOW THIS
TEENAGER WALKED OUT OF THE
HOSPITAL IN LESS THAN TWO
WEEKS, AGAINST ALL ODDS.
*
Terry: TEENAGER MORGAN
ROUNDY HAD ALSO WANTED TO
SEE A HURRICANE FIRSTHAND.
AND WHEN IRENE HIT VIRGINIA
IN 2011, HER DREAM CAME
TRUE.
BUT HER PARENTS' WORST
NIGHTMARE HAD JUST BEGUN.
MORGAN HAS ALWAYS WANTED
TO SEE A STORM.
SHE KIND OF SAID TO ME, CAN
WE JUST DRIVE OUT AND SEE
WHAT THE WATER LEVELS ARE
DOING.
IT WASN'T REALLY BAD WHEN WE
LEFT.
WE STARTED TO SEE A FEW
SIGNS OF SOME TREE BRANCHES
DOWN, AND THE CONSENSUS WAS
WE WOULD GO AHEAD AND HEAD
TOWARDS HOME.
IT WAS LIKE A SUDDEN STOP
WHEN THE TREE HIT THE VAN.
IT WAS KIND OF LIKE A
DREAM.
WHAT WAS PIERCING THROUGH
ME IS THE WORDS, "MORGAN IS
NOT BREATHING."
AND ALL I COULD SEE WAS HER
KNEES, COVERED WITH HER HAIR
SPRAWLED OVER HER, AND HER
HANDS AND BOTH OF HER ARMS
HANGING LIFELESSLY AT HER
SIDE.
HER DAD -- HE PUT HIS HANDS
THROUGH THE WINDOW, AND HE
PUTS HIS HANDS UNDERNEATH
HER CHIN, AND HE JUST GENTLY
LIFTED IT UP.
AND HER TONGUE CAME OUT OF
HER MOUTH.
AND HER EYES STARTED LIKE A
SEIZURE A LITTLE BIT,
ROLLING A LITTLE BIT.
BUT THERE WAS NO EXPRESSION
IN HER EYES AT ALL.
SHE WASN'T MAKING ANY
CONTACT.
THERE WAS NO RECOGNITION,
BUT SHE STARTED TO BREATHE.
SHE STARTED TO BREATHE.
AND WE JUST KEPT PRAYING.
AS SOON AS THE RESPONSE
TEAM CAME, WE LEFT THE SIDE
OF THE VAN AS THEY WERE
COMING IN WITH THE BOARD.
AND I WAS PRAYING THE
WHOLE TIME.
I DON'T KNOW IF ANYONE
THOUGHT I WAS IN MY RIGHT
MIND AT THAT TIME, BUT I
KEPT ASKING, JESUS, HELP MY
BABY.
THEY BROUGHT MORGAN BACK
INTO THE EMERGENCY ROOM, AND
THEY WERE TELLING US THAT IT
WAS CRITICAL.
AND THE NEXT THING I KNOW,
WE WERE UPSTAIRS IN THE
SURGERY ROOM, THE PRE-OP.
AND THEY WERE VERY CANDID,
AND THEY TOLD US, THE CHANCE
OF HER SURVIVING IS NOT
GOOD, AND IS SHE A DONOR?
IT WAS REALLY HARD TO WALK
INTO THE ROOM AND TO SEE
HER.
SHE HAD TUBES COMING OUT THE
BACK OF HER SKULL AND A
ROUND DEVICE, ABOUT THIS
BIG, THAT WAS CAPTURING THE
DRAIN OF THE BLOOD AND THE
FLUID THAT WAS STILL COMING
OUT.
AND HER DAD HAD GONE TO ONE
OF THE ROOMS TO SLEEP.
AND WHEN HE CAME BACK, I
REMEMBER HIM SAYING, IS
MORGAN AWAKE.
AND SHE OPENED HER EYES.
AND SHE KIND OF TURNED HER
HEAD TOWARDS HIM.
HE CAME OVER THERE, AND HE
JUST KIND OF BENT DOWN AND
KISSED HER.
AND SAYS, I LOVE YOU, AND
SHE NODDED HER HEAD.
AFTER THE ACCIDENT, I
REMEMBER BEING IN THE
HOSPITAL ROOM.
I REMEMBER ASKING WHAT DAY
IT WAS.
THEY TOLD ME IT WAS
TUESDAY.
I THOUGHT IT WAS ALL A
DREAM.
AND THEY WERE, LIKE, NO, IT
REALLY HAPPENED.
SHE WAS IN THERAPY FOR
ABOUT A WEEK.
SHE HAD TO BE ABLE TO WALK
COMPLETELY UNATTENDED.
IT WAS REALLY HARD
BECAUSE I STOOD UP, AND THE
MOMENT I WOULD STAND UP, IT
IS KIND OF LIKE YOU'RE
SPINNING AROUND IN THE
CIRCLE 100 TIMES AND YOU
STOP.
YOU'RE, LIKE, REALLY DAZED.
THAT'S HOW I WAS.
SO IT WAS A LONG PROCESS,
BUT ONCE I GOT TO LEAVE, I
WAS SO EXCITED.
SO HAPPY TO GO.
AFTER 13 DAYS, SHE WAS
ABLE TO WALK OUT OF THE
HOSPITAL ON HER OWN TW TWO
FEET.
AS FAR AS SCHOOL GOES, WE
HAD TO HAVE A TEAM STUDY
MEETING BECAUSE THE SCHOOL
WOULD NOT ALLOW HER TO COME
BACK TO SCHOOL, WHILE SHE
HAD TO WEAR THE HELMET.
MY SWELLING -- IT LOOKED
LIKE I HAD A BONE IN THERE.
MY SWELLING WAS SO BIG.
IT WAS BIGGER THAN THE RIGHT
SIDE.
WE REACHED OUT TO OUR
COMMUNITY OF FRIENDS TO PRAY
AND ASK FOR THAT SWELLING TO
GO DOWN.
AND THE NEXT MORNING, IT
COMPLETELY WENT DOWN.
SO WHEN SHE WENT TO HAVE THE
STAPLES REMOVED, THEY
AGREED, IT WAS WONDERFUL AND
SHE WOULDN' WOULD BE ABLE
TO HAVE SURGERY.
I'M HAPPY I'M GETTING TO
GO AND PUTTING THE BONE BACK
IN MY HEAD.
I DON'T HAVE TO WEAR THIS
SILLY HELMET ANYMORE.
THAT HELMET WAS A SYMBOL OF
YOU'RE NOT INDEPENDENT.
YOU HAVE TO WEAR THIS
WHEREVER YOU GO.
WHEN THEY WHEELED HER OUT
AND WE GOT TO SEE HER FOR
THE FIRST TIME, SHE WAS SO
SWOLLEN.
HER EYES WERE CLOSED BECAUSE
THEY WERE SO SWOLLEN.
IT WAS VERY INTENSE.
AND HER PAIN LEVEL WAS SO
MUCH MORE THAN THE FIRST
TIME.
WHEN I GOT HOME, I HAD
PHYSICAL THERAPY, AND THAT
WAS INTENSE.
I GOT REALLY ANGRY.
I WAS, LIKE, WHERE IS MY
MEMORY?
WHY CAN'T I UNDERSTAND
THIS?
SHE HAD A LOT OF MAKE-UP
WORK.
WHAT WOULD NORMALLY TAKE
ME A QUICK 15 MINUTES, TOOK
ME OVER THREE HOURS.
SHE WORKED HER WAY
THROUGH IT, AND CAUGHT UP
WITHIN A FEW MONTHS.
TO HAVE HER FINALLY
GRADUATE, IT WAS HARD.
BUT TO REALIZE THAT SHE WAS
GOING TO GET TO GRADUATE
WITH HER CLASS, WITH HER
FRIENDS THAT SHE GREW UP
WITH.
I THINK EVERYONE TEARED UP
AS SHE WALKED ACROSS THAT
STAGE.
I'M VERY PROUD OF HER, AND
VERY THANKFUL TO GOD.
I AM COMPLETELY, 100%
RECOVERED NOW.
I HAVE SHORT HAIR, AND IF
YOU PULL IT AROUND, YOU CAN
KIND OF SEE A SCAR.
IF YOU FEEL AROUND, YOU CAN
FEEL THE SCREWS.
BUT I DON'T GET THOSE
HEADACHES ANYMORE.
MY MEMORY IS FINE.
THIS WAS THE HARDEST
THING I EVER WENT THROUGH IN
MY WHOLE LIFE.
WAS SEEING HER LIKE THAT.
FAITH IS NOT WHAT YOU SEE.
IT'S NOT WHAT YOU FEEL.
REAL FAITH IS BEING
COMPLETELY CONVINCED AND
ABSOLUTELY CERTAIN THAT
GOD'S WORD IS TRUE.
Terry: WE WANTED YOU TO
SEE MORGAN'S STORY TODAY
BECAUSE WE WANT TO PRAY FOR
YOU.
AND HER STORY IS SUCH AN
INDICATIVE SIGN OF GOD'S
FAITHFULNESS, OF HIS LOVE
FOR HIS CHILDREN, OF HIS
HEARING OUR PRAYERS, OF HIS
ABILITY TO DO WHAT DOCTORS
CANNOT DO.
AND WE WANT TO PRAY FOR YOU
AND YOUR NEED TODAY.
Pat: HER MOTHER SAYS,
WE WANT YOU TO BELIEVE THAT
GOD'S WORD IS TRUE.
HERE IS SOMETHING, TERRY,
AND IT IS HEATHER.
SHE LIVED IN ARAB, ALABAMA,
AND WAS HAVING A HARD TIME
BREATHING.
AND HER TEMPERATURE REACHED
104 DEGREES.
HER MOTHER TOOK HER TO THE
E.R., WHERE THE DOCTOR
DIAGNOSED IT WAS BRONCHITIS,
AND SO ON.
TERRY GAVE A WORD OF
KNOWLEDGE, YOU HAVE A
BRONCHIAL CONDITION, AND ALL
THAT IS GOING AWAY AND THE
SWELLING IS GOING AWAY, AND
BREATHE, AND LO AND BEHOLD,
A MIRACLE TOOK PLACE.
Terry: KIMBERLY FELT A
LUMP IN HER THROAT.
BUT OVER MONTHS, IT GOT TO
THE POINT WHERE SHE COULDN'T
CATCH HER BREATH AFTER SHE
WENT FOR HER EVENING WALKS.
SHE DECIDED TO SEE A
DOCTOR.
BUT BEFORE SHE WENT, SHE
BEGAN WATCHING THIS SHOW.
AND PAT, YOU SAID, YOU'VE
GOT A STRICTER IN YOUR
THROAT.
RIGHT NOW GOD IS OPENING
THAT UP.
AND SHE THOUGHT, THAT IS FOR
ME.
SHE TOUCHED THE TELEVISION
WITH HER HAND AND HER
THROAT, AND THE NEXT MORNING
THE SWELLING WAS COMPLETELY
GONE AND SHE COULD BREATHE
NORMALLY.
Pat: FOLKS, GOD IS
ALIVE.
GOD IS ALMIGHTY.
GOD IS ALL POWERFUL.
WITH HIM, ALL THINGS ARE
POSSIBLE.
THERE IS NOTHING IMPOSSIBLE
WITH GOD.
I'M GOING TO ASK YOU TO
PRAY.
TERRY AND I WILL JOIN HANDS,
AND WE'LL PRAY TOGETHER.
WE'LL PRAY FOR YOU AND
EVERYBODY.
WE'RE GOING TO JOIN RIGHT
NOW.
FATHER, IN JESUS' PRECIOUS
AND HOLY NAME, MAY THE POWER
OF GOD TOUCH PEOPLE'S
LIVES.
SOMEBODY HAS GOT A BONE
SPUR, I GUESS IT'S IN YOUR
HEEL.
A BONE SPUR, AND IT IS VERY
PAINFUL.
YOU SAY THIS IS A CALCIUM
DEPOSIT THAT IS IS STICKING
INTO SOMETHING.
RIGHT NOW IT IS LITERALLY
MELTING AWAY AND IT WILL BE
GONE.
TERRY?
Terry: SOMEONE ELSE,
YOU HAVE AN OCULAR PROBLEM.
I'M NOT EXACTLY SURE WHAT IT
IS, BUT IT HAS AFFECTED YOUR
VISION.
MORE THAN THAT, IT IS
UNCOMFORTABLE.
IT IS LIKE A SENSATION YOU
GET IN YOUR EYES THAT CAUSES
YOU TO RUB THEM AND IT
AFFECTS YOUR VISION.
GOD IS CLEARING THAT UP FOR
YOU RIGHT NOW.
Pat: YOU HAVE A NERVOUS
CONDITION.
YOU'RE SHAKING, AND IT'S NOT
PARKINSON'S, BUT IT ACTS
LIKE THAT.
RIGHT NOW GOD IS JUST
HEALING YOU.
THE NERVOUS AR NERVES ARE
GOING TO BE COMPLETELY
WHOLE.
THE THE NERVES ARE, LIKE, ON
FIRE.
AND THE NERVE SHEVES ARE
EXPOSED.
BUT GOD IS DOING A MIRACLE,
IN JESUS' NAME.
Terry: THERE IS SOMEONE
ELSE WATCHING AND YOU'RE
FRUSTRATED BECAUSE
EVERYTHING MENTIONED IS A
PHYSICAL NEED.
AND YOU HAVE AN EMOTIONAL
AND PSYCHOLOGICAL NEED.
AN ESTRANGEMENT FROM YOUR
MOM.
GOD IS HEALING THAT.
AND WHEN HE OPENS THAT DOOR,
RECEIVE IT AND WALK THROUGH
IT.
Pat: LORD, MEET THEIR
NEEDS.
TOUCH LIVES IN JESUS' NAME.
WHEREVER YOU ARE, WE'RE
HERE.
COMING UP LATER, WE HAVE
YOUR E-MAIL.
Terry: JAZZI SAYS,
"I'VE BEEN A CHRISTIAN EVER
SINCE I WAS FIVE YEARS OLD,
AND NOW I'M 19, AND I'M
READY TO HAVE A REAL
RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD, BUT
HOW DO I DO IT?"
WE'RE GOING TO "BRING IT ON"
WITH JAZZI'S QUESTION AND
MORE.
STAY TUNED.
Lee: WELCOME BACK TO
"THE 700 CLUB."
A MIRACULOUS STORY OUT OF
OHIO.
THREE CLEVELAND WOMEN, WHO
WENT MISSING AROUND 10 YEARS
AGO, HAVE BEEN FOUND ALIVE.
THE WOMEN WERE FOUND IN THIS
HOUSE ON A QUIET CLEVELAND
STREET AFTER A NEIGHBOR
HEARD ONE OF THEM SCREAMING
FOR HELP.
AMANDA BERRY DISAPPEARED IN
2003, THE DAY BEFORE HER
17th BIRTHDAY.
INSIDE THAT HOUSE POLICE
FOUND GINA DEJESUS, AND
MICHELLE KNIGHT, WHO
VANISHED IN 2002 AT THE AGE
OF 21.
POLICE SAY THREE HISPANIC
BROTHERS IN THEIR 50s ARE
IN CUSTODY.
THE INVESTIGATION
CONTINUES.
THE UNITED NATIONS SAYS
SYRIAN REBELS HAVE USED
CHEMICAL WEAPONS IN THEIR
FIGHT AGAINST THE ASSAD
REGIME.
THEY FOUND EVIDENCE THAT
FREE SYRIAN ARMY USED THE
NERVE AGENT SARIN, BUT THE
UNITED NATIONS SAY THEY
CANNOT OFFER CONCRETE PROOF
ABOUT THAT.
REBEL FORCES DENY THE CLAIM,
AND THE WHITE HOUSE SAYS IT
IS HIGHLY LIKE THE THE ASSAD
REGIME WAS BEHIND THOSE
CHEMICAL ATTACKS INSTEAD.
YOU CAN ALWAYS GET THE
LATEST NEWS BY GOING TO OUR
WEBSITE AT CBN
CBNNEWS.COM.
STAY TUNED, PAT AND TERRY
WILL BE BACK WITH MORE OF
"THE 700 CLUB" AFTER THIS.
Terry: WE WANT TO
ANSWER SOME OF THE E-MAIL
QUESTIONS THAT YOU'VE SENT
IN, SO WE'RE GOING TO "BRING
IT ON."
JAZZI SAYS, "I'VE BEEN A
CHRISTIAN EVER SINCE I WAS
FIVE YEARS OLD, AND I'M 19
NOW.
I WAS ALWAYS TOLD TO PRAY,
READ THE BIBLE, AND I'LL GO
TO HEAVEN.
NOW THAT I'M OLDER, I'M
READY TO HAVE A REAL
RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD, BUT
HOW DO I DO IT?
WHEN I TRY, I REVERT BACK TO
MY OLD WAYS AND START
PRAYING FOR THINGS I WANT.
AM I ON THE RIGHT TRACK?"
Pat: JAZZI, I LIKE YOUR
NAME.
ANYHOW, NO, YOU'RE NOT ON
THE RIGHT TRACK.
WHAT YOU NEED TO DO IS IS
FALL IN LOVE WITH JESUS.
HAVE YOU EVER BEEN IN LOVE?
DO YOU HAVE SOMEBODY YOU
LOVE?
IT IS A LOVE AFFAIR.
HE DIED FOR YOU.
HE LOVES YOU.
AND YOU NEED TO GET INTO A
RELATIONSHIP WHERE YOU
WORSHIP HIM AND YOU TELL HIM
YOU LOVE HIM, AND HE TELLS
YOU HE LOVES YOU, AND HE
BEGINS TO SHARE WITH YOU THE
DEEP THINGS ON HIS HEART AND
YOU SHARE WHAT IS ON YOUR
HEART.
YOU THANK HIM FOR WHAT HE
HAS DONE AND YOU WORSHIP HIM
AND YOU ADORE HIM.
AND HE, IN TURN, WILL GIVE
YOU THE DESIRE OF YOUR
HEART.
THAT'S WHAT IT IS.
DEEP CALLS TO DEEP.
THAT'S WHAT PRAYER IS.
IT IS NOT SOME FORMULA.
IT IS NOT SOME MECHANICAL
THING.
IT IS A LOVE AFFAIR.
CAN YOU IMAGINE A MAN GOING
OUT WITH HIS GIRLFRIEND AND
HE SAYS, LET'S SEE WHAT THE
BOOK SAYS HERE.
I'M SUPPOSED TO SAY THIS AND
I'M SUPPOSED TO TOUCH THIS.
AND I'M SUPPOSED TO WHISPER
THAT.
NO WAY.
THERE HAS GOT TO BE SOME
SPONTANEITY SOMEWHERE.
Terry: RUTH SAYS, "THEY
PLAN TO PROSECUTE OFFICERS
IN THE ARMED FORCES IF THEY
SHARE THEIR FAITH, WILL THEY
ATTEMPT TO REDEFINE
CHAPLAINS?"
Pat: I'M NOT SURE WHO
IS BEHIND THIS.
I THINK SOME SCREW BALLS ARE
BEHIND IT.
I DON'T THINK THE ARMY WILL
GO FOR SOME OF THE EXTREME
THINGS ARE PROPOSED.
I DON'T THINK THEY WILL
REDEFINE CHAPLAINS.
THEY'VE GOT TO BE FREE.
IF THE ARMY TRIES TO REIN
THEM IN, THERE WILL BE AN
OUTCRY.
BUT THERE ARE PEOPLE WHO TRY
TO FORCE US TO CONFORM TO
THEM.
ALL RIGHT.
Terry: THIS IS PEDRO
WHO SAYS, "I'VE BEEN A
CHRISTIAN SINCE THE AGE OF
13.
I'VE SEEN PEOPLE SPEAK IN
TONGUES.
I BELIEVE THE LORD TOUCHES
PEOPLE.
BUT IN CHURCH, I SEE PEOPLE
WHO LOOK LIKE THEY'RE HAVING
SEIZURES.
THEY CLAIM IT WAS THE HOLY
SPIRIT THAT TOUCHED THEM.
THE BIBLE SAYS THAT GOD IS A
GOD OF ORDER, SO I'M
QUESTIONING IF I'M IN THE
RIGHT CHURCH, AND IF THESE
ACTIONS ARE FROM GOD."
Pat: IT SOUNDS LIKE
YOU'RE IN THE WRONG CHURCH.
LOOK, WE HAVE FLESH AND WE
HAVE SPIRIT.
AND WHEN THE FLESH RESISTS
THE SPIRIT, YOU'LL FIND ALL
KINDS OF PHYSICAL
MANIFESTATIONS.
FOR EXAMPLE, IT IS LIKE A
WIRE.
IF YOU HAVE HEAVY RESISTANCE
IN A WIRE, IT WILL GET HOT.
IF THE WIRE WILL CONDUCT
ELECTRICITY, WHICH IT IS
SUPPOSED TO, IT WON'T GET
HOT.
YOU DON'T WANT YOUR WIRES IN
YOUR HOUSE GETTING HOT.
YOU WANT THEM TO LIGHT
LIGHTS.
THE SAME THING WITH THE
POWER OF GOD.
IT IS THERE TO HEAL.
IT IS TO BLESS.
IT IS TO ILLUMINATE.
IT IS NOT TO HAVE PEOPLE
JUMP AND BARK AND ROLL ON
THE FLOOR AND CLIMB THE
WALL.
THAT IS FLESHLY
MANIFESTATIONS.
GET OUT OF THAT PLACE.
Terry: THIS IS A VIEWER
WHO SAID, "MY MOTHER SAID IT
WAS PROPHESIED BEFORE MY
BIRTH THAT I WOULD BECOME A
PREACHER.
A MAN APPROACHED MY MOTHER
TO TELL HER THIS.
HE SAID HE HAD BEEN LED BY
GOD ACROSS A FEW STATES TO
GIVE HER THIS MESSAGE.
WOULD GOD REALLY COMMUNICATE
SOMETHING OF THIS NATURE?"
Pat: YES, HE CERTAINLY
WILL.
I DON'T KNOW THAT PARTICULAR
GUY WAS GOD'S MESSENGER, BUT
HE CERTAINLY WILL.
I READ TODAY HOW GOD SENT AN
ANGEL.
HIS NAME WAS GABRIEL, AND HE
SAID I HAVE COME TO TELL YOU
THAT YOUR WIFE IS GOING TO
HAVE A BABY.
AND HE WILL BE GREAT IN THE
SIGHT OF THE LORD.
THE SAME ANGEL CAME TO A
YOUNG VIRGIN, WHO'S NAME IS
MARY, AND SAID YOU WILL
BRING FORTH A SON WHO WILL
BE CALLED THE SON OF GOD.
SO THESE MESSENGERS DO
HAPPEN.
IN YOUR CASE, I DON'T KNOW
IF THIS GUY WAS FOR REAL OR
NOT.
I WOULD GIVE IT CREDENCE
UNTIL YOU FIND OUT
OTHERWISE.
Terry: WHAT WOULD A
YOUNG PERSON DO WHEN A WORD
HAS BEEN SPOKEN OVER THEM
LIKE THAT.
YOU DON'T BECOME A PREACHER
BECAUSE A WORD --
Pat: NO.
YOU'LL HAVE TO GET A WITNESS
IN YOUR OWN HEART.
IN THE MOUTH OF TWO OR MORE
WITNESSES, EVERYTHING WILL
BE ESTABLISHED.
GOD WILL HAVE TO SHOW IT TO
YOU.
Terry: LISA SAYS, "MY
12 YEARS OLD SAYS IT TAKES A
WHILE BEFORE GOD HEARS OUR
PRAYERS.
SHE SAYS IT TAKES TIME FOR
THE SOUND TO TRAVEL.
DOES GOD HEAR PRAYERS RIGHT
AWAY?"
Pat: YOU'RE KID IS TOO
SMART.
I THINK IT IS LIKE THE AIR
AROUND US.
IT DOESN'T TAKE TIME FOR YOU
TO BREATHE IN THE AIR.
THE SPEED OF THOUGHT IS
INSTANT.
IT IS FASTER THAN THE SPEED
OF LIGHT.
I CAN THINK TODAY ABOUT A
DISTANT GALAXY THAT IS
THOUSANDS OF LIGHT YEARS
AWAY, AND I CAN VISUALIZE IT
IMMEDIATELY.
BUT WHEN WE PRAYER, THE HOLY
SPIRIT, GOD, IS WITHIN US.
THE FATHER IS IN US.
SO IN A SENSE, WE'RE TALKING
TO SOMEBODY RIGHT HERE.
YOU DON'T HAVE TO WAIT A
WHILE FOR YOUR PRAYER TO GO
THROUGH ALL OF THE
CHANNELS.
SO TELL YOUR KID, YOU KNOW,
HE'S GOT ONE SCIENCE, BUT HE
NEEDS ANOTHER ONE.
ALL RIGHT.
WHAT ELSE?
Terry: THE HEAVENLY
ONE.
THAT'S ALL OF THE TIME WE
HAVE FOR YOUR E-MAILS
TODAY.
BUT WE DO THANK YOU FOR
THEM.
WE LOVE HEARING FROM YOU.
UP NEXT, CHURCH WAS THE ONLY
PLACE SHE FELT SAFE, AND HER
MINISTER WAS THE ONLY MAN
SHE TRUSTED.
I WAS SEXUALLY ASSAULTED
BY THE PASTOR.
I WAS DEVASTATED.
I REMEMBER PRAYING TO GOD,
SAYING, IF THIS IS WHAT
CHURCH IS LIKE, THEN I DON'T
WANT ANY PART OF IT.
Terry: SEE WHAT
HAPPENED WHEN HER HUSBAND
DOESN'T BELIEVE HER, AND HE
REFUSES TO LEAVE THAT
CHURCH.
Terry: KATRINA SWEET
WAS 11 YEARS OLD WHEN HER
STEPFATHER FIRST RAPED HER.
BUT SHE WAS A MARRIED WOMAN
WHEN THE NEXT MAN ASSAULTED
HER, AND SHE WAS IN THE WON
PLACE WHERE SHE HAD GROWN TO
FEEL SAFE, HER CHURCH.
WITH THE ONE MAN IN THE
WORLD SHE COMPLETELY
TRUSTED, HER PASTOR.
Reporter: KATRINA SWEET
SPENT MOST OF HER LIFE
SEARCHING FOR STABILITY.
WHEN SHE WAS ONLY 11, HER
STEPFATHER BEGAN MOLESTING
HER.
HE TOLL MY INNOCENCE.
HE TOOK MY INNOCENCE FROM
ME.
HE TOOK MY ABILITY TO
TRUST.
I BECAME VERY AFRAID, AFRAID
TO DO THE SIMPLE THINGS.
AFRAID TO BE IN A ROOM BY
MYSELF.
AFRAID TO SLEEP AT NIGHT.
Reporter: CHURCH WAS
THE ONLY PLACE KATRINA FOUND
SOLACE.
I GREW UP IN CHURCH.
AND WHENEVER I WAS THERE, I
ALWAYS FELT THIS INCREDIBLE
PEACE.
Reporter: KATRINA
FINALLY TOLD HER MOTHER.
HER MOTHER REFUSED TO
LISTEN.
NO ONE SAID A WORD.
I FELT REJECTED.
I FELT ABANDONED BY MY
MOTHER.
I FELT THAT SHE WAS PLACING
HER HUSBAND OVER MY
PROTECTION AND MY SAFETY.
Reporter: THE PAIN
BECAME TOO MUCH, AND SHE
MOVED IN WITH HER
GRANDMOTHER.
HER ABUSER WAS GONE, BUT THE
PAIN LINGERED.
IT LEFT A VOID IN ME OF
WANTING TO BE LOVED, WANTING
TO BE AFFIRMED.
I WANTED SOMEONE TO LOOK AT
ME AS BEING SPECIAL.
SO THE FIRST GUY WHO SAID,
HEY, YOU'RE PRETTY, YOU'RE
BEAUTIFUL, THEN I GAVE
MYSELF TO HIM.
Reporter: BEFORE LONG,
KATRINA BECAME PREGNANT.
BY NOW SHE WAS TIRED,
CONFUSED, AND HURT.
SHE THOUGHT ABOUT THE PEACE
SHE FELT IN CHURCH AS A
CHILD, AND SHE GAVE HER LIFE
TO CHRIST.
OVER TIME, KATRINA'S FAITH
GREW.
SHE MARRIED A CHRISTIAN MAN
AND HAD ANOTHER CHILD.
SHE ALSO HELPED THE PASTOR
WITH SECRETARIAL WORK.
I SAW HIM AS A FATHER
FIGURE.
I SAW HIM AS SOMEONE THAT I
COULD TRUST.
Reporter: BUT SOON THAT
IMAGE WAS DESTROYED.
I WAS SEXUALLY ASSAULTED
BY THE PASTOR.
I WAS DEVASTATED.
I THOUGHT CHURCH WAS
DIFFERENT.
I THOUGHT CHURCH PEOPLE WERE
DIFFERENT.
I REMEMBER PRAYING TO GOD,
SAYING, IF THIS IS WHAT
CHURCH IS LIKE, THEN I DON'T
WANT ANY.
I DON'T WANT ANY PART OF
IT.
Reporter: TO MAKE
THINGS WORSE, HER HUSBAND
DIDN'T BELIEVE HER.
HE REFUSED TO LEAVE THE
CHURCH.
WHEN I WAS YOUNGER, I
BLAMED MY MOTHER FOR NOT
PROTECTING ME OR PEOPLE IN
MY FAMILY.
WHEN THAT HAPPENED WITH THE
PASTOR, I DID -- I BLAMED
GOD.
Reporter: KATRINA
DIVORCED HER HUSBAND AND
LEFT WITH HER TWO CHILDREN.
AFTER THAT, SHE BECAME
INVOLVED IN A SERIES OF
RELATIONSHIPS.
EACH TIME SHE WANTED THE
SAME THING, TWO FEEL SAFE,
WANTED, LOVED.
ONE DAY SHE WAS WITH HER
BOYFRIEND WHEN HIS PHONE
RANG.
HE LOOKED AT THE CALLER
I.D., AND I SAID WHO WAS
THAT?
AND HE WHISPERED SOFTLY IN
MY EAR, AND HE SAID YOUR
REPLACEMENT.
YOUR REPLACEMENT.
I CAN'T EVEN DESCRIBE TO YOU
WHAT THAT DID TO ME AND HOW
THAT MADE ME FEEL.
I'M THINKING THE WHOLE TIME
HOW UGLY I WAS, HOW USELESS
I WAS.
I'M WITHOUT PURPOSE.
NO ONE WOULD EVER WANT YOU.
WHY ARE YOU STILL HERE.
JUST END IT.
JUST END IT.
Reporter: KATRINA LEFT
THE HOUSE AND DROVE TO A
BRIDGE.
I REMEMBER SITTING IN MY
CAR, LOOKING AT THE BRIDGE,
THINKING THIS IS IT.
WHY NOT JUST END IT HERE.
SITTING IN THE CAR POUNDING
ON THE STEERING WHEEL.
WEEPING BECAUSE I FELT JUST
SO USELESS.
Reporter: BUT HER TEARS
WERE INTERRUPTED BY THOUGHTS
OF HER CHILDREN.
I ENVISION MY CHILDREN
SEEING MY BODY PULLED.
I DIDN'T WANT THAT IMAGE TO
BE WITH THEM FOR THE
REMAINDER OF THEIR LIVES.
Reporter: KATRINA KNEW
SHE NEEDED GOD.
I REMEMBER PRAYING ONE
WORD, I CRIED ONE WORD,
HELP.
HELP IS WHAT I SAID.
I FEEL LIKE GOD HEARD MY CRY
FOR HELP, AND I DIDN'T KNOW
HOW MY LIFE WAS GOING TO
TURN OUT.
I JUST HAD A SENSE THAT
EVERYTHING WAS GOING TO BE
OKAY.
Reporter: SHE FOUND A
CHURCH, AND A WOMAN THERE
INVITED HER TO A WOMEN'S
RETREAT.
THERE SHE REDEDICATED HER
LIFE TO CHRIST.
I DIDN'T UNDERSTAND IT
ALL THEN, I DIDN'T HAVE THE
FULL PICTURE, BUT I KNEW AS
TIME WENT ON, GOD WAS WITH
ME.
MOST IMPORTANTLY, I KNEW
THAT I HAD A RELATIONSHIP
WITH HIM AND THAT HE WAS
WITH ME.
AND I WANTED TO LEARN AS
MUCH AS I COULD LEARN ABOUT
HIM.
Reporter: TODAY KATRINA
IS AN AUTHOR, MOTIVATIONAL
SPEAKER, AND FOUNDER OF A
NON-PROFIT CALLED "PAT."
SHE SAYS SHE IS GRATEFUL
THAT GOD HEALED HER
EMOTIONALLY SO THAT SHE CAN
SHARE CHRIST'S LOVE WITH
OTHERS.
I NEVER THOUGHT ANYTHING
GOOD WOULD HAPPEN TO ME.
I ONLY SAW GOOD THINGS
HAPPENING TO ANOTHER
PEOPLE.
I FEEL THAT GOD HAS RESTORED
EVERYTHING THAT I'VE LOST.
EVERYTHING THAT I THOUGHT
WOULDN'T BE, GOD HAS AND IS
MAKING IT INTO REALITY.
Terry: AND GOD CAN
RESTORE YOUR BROKEN AREAS,
TOO.
THAT'S WHY THEY CALL HIM THE
REDEEMER.
HE BRINGS BACK TO LIFE,
GIVES BACK THAT WHICH WAS
TAKEN FROM YOU.
THE BIBLE SAYS WE ARE
CREATED, AND THAT GOD LOVED
US SO MUCH THAT WE ARE
CREATED IN HIS OWN IMAGE AND
LIKENESS.
HE PUT A LITTLE BIT OF
HIMSELF IN US.
HE WANTS US TO HUNGER AFTER
HIM.
BUT THROUGHOUT LIFE, YOU
KNOW, THE ENEMY OF GOD COMES
ALONGMENT ANALONG.
AND WHAT IS HIS GREATEST
DELIGHT?
TO MAR THAT IMAGE.
TO MAKE US QUESTION IF THERE
IS A GOD WHO LOVES US, TO
SEPARATE US FROM HIM.
AND YET JESUS GAVE US THIS
PROMISE.
HE SAID, "I'LL NEVER LEAVE
YOU OR FORSAKE YOU."
HE IS THE ALPHA AND OMEGA.
THE LOVE WE LOOK FOR IN
OTHER PLACES, WHETHER IT IS
BECAUSE OUR BROKENNESS OR
JUST BECAUSE WE HAVE A NEED
TO BE LOVED, WE CAN ONLY
FIND IN HIM.
THERE IS A HOLE INSIDE OF
US, CREATED TO BE FILLED BY
THE ONE WHO CREATED US.
WHO CREATED THE WHOLE
UNIVERSE.
AND LOVED US ENOUGH TO MAKE
IT A GIFT TO US.
IF YOU'RE BROKEN TODAY, IF
YOU'RE LISTENING TO
KATRINA'S STORY, AND YOU'RE
SAYING, I JUST CAN'T HANG ON
ANYMORE.
I'VE TRIED IT ALL, I'VE DONE
IT ALL, AND NOTHING WORKS.
IF YOU HAVEN'T FALLEN IN
LOVE WITH JESUS, LIKE PAT
TALKED ABOUT EARLIER IN THE
SHOW, THEN YOU HAVEN'T TRIED
THE ONLY THING THAT WORKS,
BUT YOU CAN TODAY.
YOU CAN START RIGHT NOW.
THIS IS WHAT YOU DO: YOU
SAY, JESUS, I'M A SINNER.
I HAVE BLOWN IT.
I HAVE MADE MISTAKES.
I'VE FALLEN SHORT OF THE
MARK.
I NEED YOU.
FORGIVE MY SINS.
FORGIVE MY SINS.
COME INTO MY LIFE.
COME INTO MY HEART.
I WANT TO KNOW YOU.
I WANT YOU TO BE THE LORD OF
MY LIFE AND THE SAVIOR OF MY
SOUL.
FILL ME WITH YOUR HOLY
SPIRIT.
TEACH ME YOUR WAYS.
AND ASK THAT IN JESUS'
NAME.
IT'S A CONVERSATION.
JUST OPEN YOUR HEART AND
BEAR YOUR SOLE TO HIM AND
INVITE HIM IN.
HE IS THE REDEEMER, THE
HEALER, THE ONE AND ONLY ONE
WHO CAN MAKE YOU WHOLE.
IF YOU HAVE A NEED YOU WOULD
LIKE SOMEONE TO PRAY ABOUT
WITH YOU, CALL THAT
TOLL-FREE NUMBER ON YOUR
SCREEN, 1-800-759-0700.

ANSWERS HAS ALREADY PRAYED

MUSIC WITH HIP-HOP STAR ANDY
MINIO.
AND WE LEAVE YOU WITH THESE
