THIS WEEK ON CHRISTIAN

WORLD NEWS, OVERCOMING

ISIS.

MEET THE WOMAN HELD CAPTIVE

BY RADICAL ISLAMIC FIGHTERS,

AND HOW THEY LIVED THROUGH

IT.

Wendy: PLUS, SCRIPTURE

CELEBRATIONS, THE PEOPLE OF

THIS ASIAN VILLAGE THREW A

BIG PARTY WHEN THEY RECEIVED

A BIBLE IN THEIR OWN

LANGUAGE.

George: AND HE IS

SHOUTING IT FROM THE

ROOFTOP, WITH THE GOAL OF

SEEING CHRISTIANS SHIFT THE

RACIAL DIVIDE IN AMERICA.

George: THREE SURVIVORS

OF THE ISLAMIC TERROR GROUP

KNOWN AS ISIS TELL THEIR

STORIES.

HELLO, EVERYONE, I'M GEORGE

THOMAS.

Wendy: AND I'M WENDY

GRIFFITH.

ISIS TERRORISTS ARE

MURDERED, RAPED, AND ABUSED

THOUSANDS OF WOMEN IN SYRIA

AND IRAQ.

NOW SOME COURAGEOUS

SURVIVORS WANT TO SHARE

THEIR STORIES WITH THE

WORLD.

CBN INTERNATIONAL

CORRESPONDENT GARY LANE

TRAVELLED TO IRAQ TO TALK

WITH THREE WOMEN WHO STOOD

UP AGAINST THE BARBARITY OF

ISIS.

Reporter: THIS IS THE

STORY OF THREE WOMEN WHO

SUFFERED PERSONAL LOSS

BECAUSE OF THE WAR AGAINST

ISIS.

EACH ONE HAS STRUGGLED TO

OVERCOME THEIR PAINFUL

EXPERIENCES.

ONE IS A SOLDIER.

ANOTHER, A YOUNG YAZIDI.

AND ANOTHER, A SYRIAN

REFUGEE.

AFTER A SUMMER OF TERROR,

ISIS IS NOW ON THE

DEFENSIVE.

AND IRAQI KURDS SAY RAIDS

HAVE HELPED THEM BEAT BACK

THE ADVANCES.

AMERICAN AIRSTRIKES HAVE HAD

AN IMPACT ON ISLAMIC STATE

FIGHTERS.

BUT THERE IS ONE THING THEY

FEAR MORE THAN THAT, AND

THAT IS FEMALE PESHMERGA

FIGHTERS WITH GUNS.

MEET THE WOMEN GUARDING

IRAQI, KURDISTAN.

MORE THAN 500 WOMEN SERVE IN

THIS UNIT.

MASLIN IS THE DEPUTY.

THESE WOMEN ARE THE BEST

EXAMPLES OF PESHMERGA

WOMEN.

THEY ARE VERY BRAVE WOMEN.

WHEN IT COMES TO BEING A

HERO, THERE IS NO DIFFERENCE

BETWEEN MEN AND WOMEN.

Reporter: SHE IS NO

STRANGER TO WAR, FIGHTING

FOR YEARS AGAINST SADDAM

HUSSEIN AND IRAN.

SHE CONVINCED FAMILY MEMBERS

TO JOIN UP, BUT THAT CAME

WITH A FATAL COST.

SHE WAS REALLY GOOD, A

HIGH EXAMPLE TO THE GIRLS.

VERY SMART AND BRAVE.

SHE GAVE HERSELF AS A

SACRIFICE FOR THE SAKE OF

KURDISTAN.

Reporter: LAST FALL, AN

ISIS SCHNEIDER KILLED HER

26-YEAR-OLD DAUGHTER, WHO

LEFT BEHIND A HUSBAND AND

TWO CHILDREN.

THE DIFFICULT PART IS MY

GRANDCHILDREN.

THEY MISS THEIR MOM.

USUALLY, WHEN I SEE THEM I

CRY.

Reporter: TEARS FLOWED

AS SHE SPOKE OF HER

GRANDCHILDREN GROWING UP

WITHOUT THEIR MOTHER.

SHE PROUDLY EXPLAINED THAT

HER DAUGHTER GAVE HER LIFE

FOR THE HOMELAND.

MASLIN SAYS SHE IS MORE

DETERMINED THAN EVER TO STOP

THE KIDNAPPING AND SEXUALLY

EXPLOITING AND SELLING

WOMEN.

IF

IF ANYONE SHOULD FIGHT

AGAINST ISIS, IT SHOULD BE

THE WOMEN.

Reporter: THIS

22-YEAR-OLD YAZIDI WOMAN WAS

ONE OF THOUSANDS KIDNAPPED

BY ISIS MILITANTS.

IT HAPPENED LAST AUGUST AS

MANY YAZIDIS FLED TO SINJAR

MOUNTAIN.

THEY CAPTURED HER AND PUT

HER WITH ABOUT 100 OTHER

YAZIDI GIRLS, SOME AS YOUNG

AS 10 YEARS OLD.

THEY FORCED THE GIRLS TO

CONVERT TO ISLAM AND THEN

MARRY ISIS LEADERS.

THEY BEAT OUR LEGS, HEADS,

AND ARMS.

Reporter: SHE SAYS ISIS

FIGHTERS CAME TO THE HOUSE

AND OFFERED THE GIRLS MONEY

FOR SEX.

MANY OF THEM WERE SOLD FOR

AS LITTLE AS $1.

THEY WERE REALLY

DETERMINED TO HARM US.

THEY ABUSED US AND TOOK

PLEASURE IN IT.

MOST OF US WANTED TO DIE.

Reporter: SOME OF THE

GIRLS HAVE ATTEMPTED SUICIDE

TO ESCAPE THE ABUSE.

AN ALARMING NUMBER HAVE

SUCCEEDED.

LAST NOV, SHE SECRETLY

CONTACTED AN UNCLE, WHO

HELPED RESCUE HER, HER YOUNG

SISTER, AND FIVE OTHER

GIRLS.

FREEDOM, HOWEVER, DID NOT

BRING JOY.

I DID NOT REJOICE BECAUSE

EVEN WHEN I WAS RESCUED, I

REALIZED 27 OF MY FAMILY

MEMBERS WERE MISSING.

Reporter: WHILE SHE

SAYS LIFE IS DIFFICULT

WITHOUT THEM, SHE SAYS SHE

IS GLAD SHE AT LEAST HELPED

SOME OF THE GIRLS ESCAPE

ISIS.

I HELPED THEM A LOT.

I'M VERY HAPPY I COULD HELP

RETURN THE GIRLS AND MY

SISTER, WHO WERE WITH ME.

Reporter: SHE ESCAPED

SYRIA ONCE THE ISLAMIC STATE

DESTROYED HER HOME.

SHE LANDED A JOB WITH A

CHRISTIAN ORGANIZATION AND

STARTED READING THE BIBLE.

I LEARNED A LOT ABOUT

JESUS.

HE IS NOT JUST A NORMAL

HUMAN.

HE IS GOD.

HE CLEANSED ME OF MY SINS.

I WAS DEAD, AND NOW I HAVE A

NEW LIFE.

Reporter: A MIRACULOUS

HEALING CAUSED HANIPA TO

LEAVE SUNNI, ISLAM.

DOCTORS HAD SCHEDULED

SURGERY TO REMOVE A

LIFE-THREATENING TUMOR, AND

SO SHE PRAYED HER SURGERY

WOULD NOT BE NECESSARY.

SHE SAYS HER DOCTOR WAS

SURPRISED MOMENTS BEFORE THE

SURGERY WHEN HE DISCOVERED

THE TUMOR HAD DISAPPEARED.

THE DOCTOR KEPT SAYING,

IT IS IMPOSSIBLE.

IT IS IMPOSSIBLE.

WHERE IS YOUR TUMOR?

WOULD HAVE YOU DONE.

I JUST TOLD HIM I PRAYED TO

GOD.

AND HE SAID IT IS OKAY.

THAT IS IMPOSSIBLE.

BUT I DIDN'T CARE WHAT HE

THOUGHT BECAUSE I KNEW GOD

HAD HEALED ME.

Reporter: HER LIFE IS

IN JEOPARDY BECAUSE SHE IS

CONSIDERED AN APOSTATE.

GOD IS WITH ME AND HE'LL

KEEP ME SAFE.

Reporter: TODAY SHE

ORGANIZES CLOTHING AND OTHER

ITEMS FOR THOSE IN NEED.

AS ISIS SEEKS TO ERADICATE

CHRISTIANITY, SHAIPA IS

SHARING HER TESTIMONY.

I TELL THEM MY STORY.

I WANT THE KABANI PEOPLE TO

KNOW MY STORY.

Reporter: THREE

COURAGEOUS WOMEN OVERCOMING

ISIS WITH GOD.

George: PLEASE TO PRAY

FOR THOSE CAUGHT IN THE

CROSS HAIRS OF ISIS.

> DR. RICK SACRA, ONE OF

THE AMERICAN DOCTORS WHO

BEAT EBOLA LAST YEAR, IS

GOING BACK TO NIGERIA.

HE PLANS TO SPEND SEVERAL

WEEKS HELPING OVERWORKED

COLLEAGUES IN THE MISSIONARY

HOSPITAL WHERE HE HAS WORKED

FOR YEARS.

HE SAYS HE WOULDN'T BE

WORKING DIRECTLY WITH EBOLA

PATIENTS, BUT MIGHT BE ASKED

TO HELP FROM TIME TO TIME

SINCE DOCTORS SAY HE IS NOW

IMMUNE TO THE VIRUS.

THIS IS SUCH A PRACTICAL

WAY OF SHOWING THE LOVE OF

GOD TO THE PEOPLE OF

LIBERIA.

WE FEEL IT IS SO IMPORTANT,

SO CRUCIAL.

THAT IS JUST A PART OF

OUR RELATIONSHIP AND OUR --

AND, YOU KNOW, OUR CALLING

FROM THE LORD.

George: SACRA EXPECTS

TO SPEND MOST OF HIS TIME

TREATING PATIENTS WITH

MALARIA AND OTHER HEALTH

ISSUES, LIKE HIGH BLOOD

PRESSURE AND DIABETES.

Wendy: WHAT HAPPENS

WHEN A REMOTE TRIBAL GROUP

RECEIVES GOD'S WORD IN THEIR

OWN LANGUAGE FOR THE VERY

FIRST TIME?

IF IT IS PAPOOA, INDONESIA,

THE ANSWER IS A BIG PARTY.

George: WE LIKE

PARTIES.

AND CBN NEWS WAS THERE, AND

THEY JOINED THE PARTY WITH

THE TRANSLATORS AND THE

MISSIONARIES WHO MADE IT ALL

POSSIBLE.

STAN JETER BRINGS US THIS

REMARKABLE STORY.

Reporter: THE SINGING

BEGAN AS THE TRIBES PEOPLE

GATHERED IN PAPOOA.

WE ARE HERE TO CELEBRATE

THE FINISHING OF THE BIBLE

IN THE PAPOOA LANGUAGE.

WE HAVE BEEN WORKING TO

TRANSLATE THIS THING FOR

YEARS AND YEARS AND YEARS,

AND IT IS JUST GREAT TO BE

ABLE TO COME AND JOIN THEM

IN THE CELEBRATION.

Reporter: FOR THE PAST

40 YEARS, BROWN AND OTHER

MISSION AVIATION PILOTS HAVE

FLOWN THE TRANSLATING TEAM

IN AND OUT OF THE SOBA AIR

STRIP.

ONE RECENT PASSENGER WAS AN

IRISH MISSIONARY.

SHE HELPED TRANSLATE THE OLD

TESTAMENT.

WE'RE SITTING HERE ON THE

TOP OF THE AIR STRIP, WHERE

YOU FIRST PLANE LANDED HERE

IN 1968.

MOST OF THE PAPOO A TRIBE

ARE BUSY.

WE PRAY TO GOD AND THERE IS

SINGING AND ALL DIFFERENT

GROUPS FROM DIFFERENT

CHURCHES.

ALL WE'RE SEEING HERE IS

LIKE A PAPOOA TRIBAL PARTY.

Reporter: IT TOOK OVER

200 ROASTED PIGS TO FEED THE

CROWD.

THE SPEARS THE MEN CARRY ARE

REAL, BUT AFTER THE GOSPEL

ARRIVED 50 YEARS AGO, THEY

STOPPED USING THEM IN TRIBAL

WARFARE.

THE NEW TESTAMENT WAS

TRANSLATE NOOD THEIR

TRANSLATED INTO THEIR

LANGUAGE.

DURING THIS EVENT, 26

CONVERT WERE BAPTIZED.

BUT THE HIGHLIGHT OF THE

CELEBRATION WAS THE DELIVERY

OF THE THE COMPLETED BIBLE.

THESE PEOPLE HAVE HAD THE

TRANSLATION IN THE NEW

TESTAMENT FOR A WHILE.

BUT WHAT REALLY MAKES THIS

DEDICATION TODAY UNIQUE IS

IT COMPLETES THE STORY.

IT IS THE OLD TESTAMENT.

I GET EXCITED THINKING ABOUT

WHAT IT IS GOING TO BE LIKE

FOR THEM TO SEE GOD'S STORY

OF SALVATION THAT BEGINS IN

GENESIS.

Reporter: THE FIRST

BIBLES WERE GIVEN TO A YOUNG

MAN REPRESENTING TO THE

YOUTH, TO A WOMAN TO STAND

FOR ALL WOMEN, AND TO AN

OLDER MAN, RECOGNIZING THOSE

WHO HAD WAITED MANY YEARS

FOR THE ENTIRE BIBLE IN

THEIR LANGUAGE.

GENERAL IS A SON OF ONE

OF THE TOP LEADERS.

THEY HAVE COME TO WHERE

WE WERE SLEEPING, AND WE HAD

A SPECIAL TIME OF DEVOTION

TOGETHER, OPENING THE

BIBLE.

I'LL BE ABLE TO LEARN

MORE ABOUT GOD'S WORD.

I'LL BE ABLE TO READ IT WITH

MY OWN PEOPLE.

Reporter: THE PAPOOA

TRANSLATION WAS SUPPORTED BY

THE INDONESIAN SOCIETY.

OVER 1800 LANGUAGES ARE

STILL WAITING FOR THE START

OF A BIBLE TRANSLATION

PROJECT.

STAN JETER, CBN NEWS.

Wendy: THANKS, STAN.

THE ALARM IS SOUNDING ACROSS

CHRISTIANDOM.

WHAT IS GOD TRYING TO TELL

CHRISTIANS AND ARE THEY

LISTENING?

THAT'S WHEN WE RETURN.

Wendy: WELCOME BACK TO

CHRISTIAN WORLD NEWS.

THE ALARMING NEWS THESE DAYS

MAY HAVE SOME CHRISTIANS

WONDERING ABOUT GOD'S PLAN.

RACIAL DIVIDES, TERROR

ATTACKS, AND EVEN THE

EVER-SHRINKING ECONOMY MAY

SHOW THAT GOD'S PROTECTION

OVER AMERICAN IS CRUMBLING.

CBN SPOKE TO ONE MAN WHO

BELIEVES ALL THESE EVENTS

ARE A CALL TO THE CHURCH TO

WAKE UP AND GET TO WORK.

GOD IS GIVING US SIGNS

THAT WE SHOULD WAKE UP.

Reporter: HEAR JACKSON,

PRESIDING BISHOP OVER 1800

CHURCHES SAYS GOD IS TRYING

TO SHAKE AWAKE A SLUMBERING

CHRISTIANDOM.

AN ALARM HAS BEEN GOING

OFF, AND FOLKS HAVE BEEN,

LIKE WE DO SOME MORNINGS,

ROLLING OVER IN THE BED AND

HITTING THE ALARM AND

SAYING, I'LL WAKE OUT

LATER.

Reporter: HE POINTS OUT

JESUS SOUNDED ALARMS FOR

FUTURE TIMES.

NATION WILL RISE UP

AGAINST NATION, AND ETHNIC

GROUPS WILL RISE UP AGAINST

ETHNIC GROUPS.

AND WE'RE FINDING THAT

WITHIN THE UNITED STATES, AS

WE LOOK AT THE FERGUSON

SITUATION -- BUT WE CAN

SHIFT THAT WHOLE THING TO

RUSSIA AND THE UKRAINE.

WE COULD GO TO PLACES IN

AFRICA.

Reporter: AND THEN

THERE IS THE ROYALING MUSLIM

WORD.

MANY OF THE DIVISIONS

WITHIN ISLAM ITSELF ARE

TRIBAL IN THEIR NATURE.

Reporter: JACKSON

WORRIES MUCH MORE DIVISION

WILL COME UPON THE EARTH

UNLESS GOD'S PEOPLE REPENT.

HE ALSO SAYS RECESSIONS AND

ECONOMIC TROUBLES ARE

TODAY'S VERSION OF BIBLICAL

FAMINES AND DROUGHTS.

GOD WOULD USE THOSE TO WARN

HIS PEOPLE THE SPIRITUAL

SHIELD WAS CRUMBLING.

THEN THERE ARE EPIDEMICS

LIKE EBOLA AND AIDS, WHICH

ARE BOTH TODAY'S PHYSICAL

PLAGUES AND SPIRITUAL

ALARMS.

BUT THE BISHOP SAYS RATHER

THAN CURSE THE PEOPLE, GOD

WOULD MUCH PREFER TO SPEAK A

BLESSING LIKE THIS.

INSTEAD OF LETTING ALL OF

THESE TERRIBLE THINGS HAPPEN

TO YOU THAT ARE GOING TO

COME UPON THE REST OF THE

WORLD, I AM GOING TO PUT A

FORCE FIELD OF BLESSING

AROUND EVERYTHING YOU HAVE

AND ALL THAT YOU DO BECAUSE

I WANT TO GLORIFY MY NAME

AND SHOW FAVOR TO YOU

BECAUSE I LOVE YOU.

Reporter: BUT HE NEEDS

AN AWAKEN AND REPENTANT

PEOPLE TO PARTNER WITH HIM.

PAUL STRAND, CBN NEWS,

WASHINGTON.

George: HERE IN THE

UNITED STATES, A CHRISTIAN

MAN IS CALLING FOR

CHRISTIANS TO STEP IN THE

MIDDLE OF THE DEBATE.

HE HAS TAKEN TO THE ROOFTOP

OF THE MARTIN LUTHER KING,

JR. HOLIDAY TO MAKE SURE HIS

MESSAGE IS HEARD.

AND HE IS INVITING YOU TO

JOIN HIM RIGHT WHERE YOU

ARE.

IT IS A MOVEMENT CALLED "THE

ROOFTOP."

THESE ARE THE IMAGES THAT

DOMINATED AMERICA'S

HEADLINES AT THE END OF

2014.

MASSIVE PROTESTS AND CRIES

OF RACISM, FOLLOWING GRAND

JURY DECISIONS NOT TO INDICT

POLICE OFFICERS FOR SHOOTING

AND KILLING UNARMED

CIVILIANS.

THEY'RE DEVISIVE AND

TROUBLING IMAGES.

AT LEAST ONE MAN IS LOOKING

TO REPLACE THAT IN THE NEW

YEAR WITH IMAGES LIKE THIS.

* HALLELUJAH

Reporter: CHRISTIANS OF

ALL RACES GATHERING ON

ROOFTOPS TO PRAY.

INITIALLY I THOUGHT IT

WAS JUST BECAUSE IT WAS

OVERLOOKING THE CITY.

IN MY OWN MIND I JUST

THOUGHT IT WAS COOL.

BUT GOD GAVE ME A WORD

SPECIFICALLY PERTAINING TO A

ROOFTOP, IN WHICH SOME GUYS

TOOK THEIR FRIEND UP TO A

ROOF TO LOWER HIM DOWN TO

JESUS TO BE HEALED.

Reporter: AND LINEL

HARRIS IS LEADING THE PRAYER

IN FIVE YEARS.

AREAS.

THE FIRST IS UNITY IN THE

BODY OF CHRIST.

I BELIEVE IF WE SET THE

EXAMPLE IN THE CHURCH FIRST,

HOPEFULLY THE WORLD CAN

FOLLOW THROUGH.

Reporter: AND HE IS

PRAYING FOR HEALING IN THE

HEARTS OF OUR COUNTRY'S

LEADERS.

WE'LL HAVE LEADERS WHO

ARE SEEKING GOD THEMSELVES.

BECAUSE THE WORD SAYS WHEN

WE HAVE LEADERS THAT ARE

RIGHTEOUS, THE PEOPLE

REJOICE.

Reporter: AND HEALING

FOR THOSE WHO HAVE BEEN THE

VICTIMS OF RACISM.

THAT THEY WILL BE

COMFORTED AND NOT PLAGUED BY

UNFORGIVENESS.

Reporter: AND THEN

THERE IS PRAYER FOR TRUE

EQUALITY.

THERE IS NO LONGER A

DOUBLE STANDARD WITHIN LAW

ENFORCEMENT.

I GUESS WHAT THE FOUNDING

FATHERS MEANT IN THE

CONSTITUTION APPLIES TO

EVERYBODY.

Reporter: AND LASTLY,

PRAYER FOR GUIDANCE ON WHAT

WORK TO BEGIN WHEN THE

PRAYER ENDS.

THAT GOD WILL GIVE US A

PLAN TO KNOW HOW TO GO ABOUT

HAVING THE RIGHT

CONVERSATION, FIRST, AND,

TWO, TO START SETTING AN

EXAMPLE.

Reporter: WHILE THIS

ROOFTOP EXPERIENCE IS

HAPPENING HERE IN VIRGINIA,

THE GOAL IS FOR THIS TO

SPREAD ACROSS THE COUNTRY

AND BECOME A NATIONAL

MOVEMENT.

AND THIS CALL TO PRAYER HAS

AN EASY ANSWER.

CONSIDER JUST GRABBING A

GROUP OF FRIENDS.

IT DOESN'T HAVE TO BE A BIG

GATHERING.

BUT JUST GET TOGETHER ON

SOME KIND OF ROOFTOP AND

PRAY, AND UPLOAD THE VIDEO.

WE'RE GOING TO ALL DO IT ON

M.L.K. DAY TOGETHER WITH THE

HASHTAG "THE ROOFTOP" SO

PEOPLE ARE ENCOURAGED.

Reporter: EFREM GRAHAM,

CBN NEWS, PORTSMITH,

VIRGINIA.

Wendy: COMING UP, THE

EARTHQUAKE THAT RIPPED APART

HAITI FIVE YEARS AGO, AND

THE MINISTRY THAT HAS HELPED

REBUILD IT.

Wendy: IT HAS BEEN FIVE

YEARS SINCE A MASSIVE

EARTHQUAKE DEVASTATED THE

NATION OF HAITI.

THE 7.0 MAGNITUDE QUAKE

KILLED MORE THAN 100,000

PEOPLE.

"OPERATION BLESSING" MOVED

IN AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE.

AND TODAY, FIVE YEARS LATER,

THE MINISTRY IS STILL THERE,

HELPING MEN, WOMEN, AND

CHILDREN RECOVER, INCLUDING

THE MOST VULNERABLE, GIVING

CHILDREN WITH DISABILITIES A

SECURE PLACE TO LIVE WITH

SAFE WATER, MEDICAL CARE,

NUTRITION, EDUCATION, AND

MUCH MORE.

George: AND JOINING US

NOW IS "OPERATION BLESSING"

PRESIDENT BILL HURAN.

GREAT TO HAVE YOU BACK ON

THE BROADCAST.

FIVE YEARS AGO, IT WAS

TRAGIC, IT WAS DEVASTATING.

IS IT ANY BETTER TODAY?

ABSOLUTELY, GEORGE.

THERE ARE POCKETS OF

SUCCESS.

WHAT MOST PEOPLE DON'T

REALIZE IS HAITI WAS A MESS

BEFORE THE EARTHQUAKE, THE

POOREST COUNTRY IN OUR

HEMISPHERE.

THE EARTHQUAKE MADE IT

WORSE.

CERTAINLY IT IS BETTER THAN

IT WAS.

CERTAINLY IT IS BETTER THAN

IT WAS BEFORE THE

EARTHQUAKE.

SO THERE ARE DEFINITE

POCKETS OF SUCCESS.

George:

"OPERATION BLESSING," YOU

GUYS DID SOME TREMENDOUS

WORK AND CONTINUE TO DO SO

WITH FOOD DISTRIBUTION,

WATER, ALL KINDS OF STUFF.

TALK BO THAT.

> -- TALK ABOUT THAT.

AS OF SEPTEMBER 2014, WE

HAVE BROUGHT OVER

$200 MILLION WORTH OF

MEDICINES AND VITAMINS TO

HAITI.

WE INITIALLY DISTRIBUTED IT

TO THE MINISTRY OF HEALTH,

AND NOW WE DISTRIBUTE TO A

NETWORK OF 89 CLINICS AND

HOSPITALS, FROM ONE END OF

HAITI TO THE OTHER.

THAT IS A REAL BIG BOOST FOR

THE FOLKS OVER THERE BECAUSE

THE MINISTRY OF HEALTH CAN'T

AFFORD TO BUY THAT MUCH

MEDICINE.

SO THAT'S GREAT.

WE OPENED A HOME FOR

CHILDREN WITH DISABILITIES.

WE DID THAT RIGHT AFTER THE

EARTHQUAKE.

WE HAVE 64 RESIDENTS.

THESE ARE CHILDREN WHO WERE

ABANDONED BECAUSE OF THEIR

DISABILITIES.

WE HAD REALLY GREAT NEWS.

IN DECEMBER WE FINALLY WERE

ABLE TO GET BIRTH

CERTIFICATES FOR ALL 64,

WHICH WAS CHALLENGING,

BECAUSE WE DON'T KNOW WHO

THEIR PARENTS WERE.

ON THE 21st OF DECEMBER,

I WENT OVER AND WE WERE ABLE

TO HAVE EVERY ONE OF THOSE

CHILDREN BAPTIZED ON THE

21st OF DECEMBER.

WE'RE REALLY HAPPY ABOUT

THAT.

George: AND ONE OF THE

THINGS YOU GUYS BECAME

FAMOUS FOR IS THE FISH

POND.

IT IS A HUGE SUCCESS, FOR

PROTEIN, FOR A VERY HUNGRY

NATION, AND ALSO TO PROVIDE

JOBS.

RIGHT NOW WE'RE PRODUCING

ABOUT A HALF A MILLION

TALAPIA.

500,000 EVERY MONTH.

AND WE'RE PUTTING THEM IN

LAKES AND RESERVOIRS FROM

ONE END OF HAITI TO THE

OTHER.

AND WE'RE TRYING TO

JUMP-START THE FISH FARMING

INDUSTRY.

THE PEOPLE LOVE FISH, BUT

THEY CAN'T AFFORD TO BUY THE

FISH BECAUSE IT IS ALL

IMPORTED.

SO WE'RE DOING THAT.

WE'RE PART OF LAUNCHING A

BIG COMMERCIAL FISH

OPERATION THAT IS GOING TO

PRODUCE 20,000 POUNDS OF

FOOD A WEEK THE FIRST YEAR.

AND THIS IS JUST AN

INCREDIBLE SUCCESS STORY.

George: TALK ABOUT THE

IMPACT THIS IS HAVING ON THE

POOREST COUNTRY IN THE

HEMISPHERE.

HOW IS IT CHANGING PEOPLE'S

LIVES?

OUR TEAM, WE HAVE ABOUT

35 HAITIANS ON OUR STAFF

THERE, AND ABOUT THREE TO

FOUR AMERICANS.

AND OUR STAFF IS -- THEY'RE

JUST SO ENERGIZED, AND

THEY'RE SO HAPPY.

IT IS EMBLEMATIC OF THE

PEOPLE THAT WE'RE INVOLVED

WITH IN HAITI.

WE'RE TEACHING THEM TRADES,

TEACHING THEM HOW TO DO

THINGS, BETTER AGRICULTURAL

SYSTEMS, HOW TO RAISE FISH.

OUR CHILDREN'S HOME IS A

MODEL OF SUSTAINABILITY.

George: TERRIFIC.

YOU GUYS HAVE BEEN DOING

TERRIFIC WORK.

I KNOW YOU WILL CONTINUE TO

DO SO.

BILL, THANK YOU, AND ALWAYS

A PLEASURE.

THANK YOU, SIR.

YOU KNOW, PEOPLE AROUND THE

WORLD SUFFER HIGH

EMPLOYMENT, AND MOST OF THEM

DON'T HAVE ACCESS TO GOODñ

EDUCATION BECAUSE IT COSTS

SO MUCH.

WELL, ONE OF THE WORT IS

SENEGAL IN AFRICA, WHERE

HALF THE POPULATION --

HALF -- IS UNEMPLOYED, AND

LITERACY IS LESS THAN 50%.

Wendy: THAT'S

INCREDIBLE.ññ

NOW CHRISTIANS ARE HELPINGñ

FUTURE THROUGH EDUCATION.

CAROLINE BELLMAR HAS THIS

STORY FROM DAKRA.

THIS 15-YEAR-OLD SPENT

MOST OF HIS DAY WELDING IN A

SMALL SHOP THAT PAID JUST

ENOUGH TO GET A LEGISLATIVE

OF BREAD.

MANY OF THEM ARE TOO POOR

AND DO WHAT THEY CAN TO

SURVIVE.

BUT HADI FACES ADDITIONAL

CHALLENGES BECAUSE HE IS

DEAF.

IN SENEGAL, LIKE MANY OTHER

PLACES IN THE WORLD, DEAF

PEOPLE ARE MARGINALIZED.

THAT'S BECAUSE MOST PEOPLE

HERE BELIEVE THEY ARE

CURSED.

FORTUNATELY, THE BODY OF

CHRIST CAN BE FOUND IN

ACTION AL AROUND THE GLOBE,

EXTENDING A LOVING HAND TO

THOSE IN NEED.

IT IS RIGHT HERE, AT THIS

SCHOOL FOR THE DEAF, THAT

OVER 95 KIDS FIND AN

EDUCATION AND LOVING CARE.
