THIS WEEK ON CHRISTIAN

WORLD NEWS, THE BARBARITY OF

ISIS, THE ISLAMIC STATE'S

LATEST ATROCITIES RAISES AN

URGENT CALL TO ACTION.

> PLUS, CHRISTIAN

MINISTRIES GATHER TO SHOW

THEIR SUPPORT FOR THE JEWISH

STATE AS TH AT THE FIRST

EVER ISRAEL SUMMIT.

> AND HOW PRAYER AND

EDUCATION IS LITERALLY

SAVING KIDS FROM A LIFE OF

GARBAGE.

*

THE RADICAL

ISIS ARMY?

HELLO, EVERYONE.

I'M WENDY GRIFFITH.

GEORGE THOMAS IS ON

ASSIGNMENT.

THE LATEST BRUTALITY BY THE

ISLAMIC STATE BROUGHT SWIFT

AND VIOLENT ACTION FROM THE

KINGDOM OF JORDAN, AFTER THE

JIHADIS EXECUTED A JORDIAN

PILOT BY BURNING HIM ALIVE.

KING ABDULLAH ORDERED THE

EXECUTION OF THE ISLAMIC

TERRORISTS AND IS NOW

PURSUING A MILITARY CAMPAIGN

TO DESTROY THEM ON THE

GROUND.

GARY LANE HAS MORE.

Reporter: AN AMBULANCE

TRANSPORTS THE BODIES OF

TWO al-QAEDA TERRORISTS

EXECUTED AT THIS PRISON.

THE JORDIAN GOVERNMENT MADE

GOOD ON ITS PLEDGE TO KILL

THE TERRORIST CAPTIVES IF

THE ISLAMIC STATE HARMED AIR

FORCE PILOT MU'ATH

al-KASAESBEH.

IT TOOK THE ACTION AFTER A

GRUESOME VIDEO APPEARED ON

THE INTERNET, SHOWING THE

PILOT BEING BURNED TO DEATH

BY ISIS MILITANTS.

THE VIDEO IS TOO GRAPHIC FOR

US TO SHOW YOU, BUT IT

SPARKED PROTEST AND OUTRAGE

THROUGHOUT THE JORDAN DEAN

KINGDOM.

AND THIS RESPONSE FROM

PRESIDENT OBAMA AS HE MET

WITH JORDIAN KING ABDULLAH

AT THE WHITE HOUSE ON

TUESDAY.

President Obama: IT IS

JUST ONE MORE INDICATION OF

THE VICIOUSNESS AND

BARBARITY OF THIS

ORGANIZATION.

Reporter: ISIS

MILITANTS CAPTURED MU'ATH

al-KASAESBEH AFTER HE

PLANE WENT DOWN IN SYRIA

LAST DECEMBER.

THE JORDANIANS OFFERED TO

EXCHANGE HIM IN A SWAP.

BUT THE JORDANIANS DEMANDED

ONE BIG CONDITION.

B WE WANT TO SEE A PROOF

OF LIFE.

Reporter: BUT WHEN THAT

GRAPHIC VIDEO APPEARED ON

THE INTERNET, THE JORDANIANS

KNEW IT WAS TOO LATE FOR A

SWAP.

IN FACT, THE PILOT'S DEATH

MIGHT HAVE OCCURRED A MONTH

AGO.

THE JORDIAN PILOT EXECUTION

VIDEO CAME JUST DAYS AFTER

ISIS RELEASED A VIDEO

SHOWING THE BEHEADING OF A

JAPANESE CHRISTIAN

JOURNALIST.

AT SOME POINT THIS KIND

OF ACT BACKFIRES ON A GROUP

LIKE ISIS.

Reporter: THE JORDIAN

GOVERNMENT HAD PROMISED TO

RETALIATE BY DELIVERING A

STRONG, EARTH-SHAKING AND

DECISIVE RESPONSE TO THEIR

PILOT'S MURDER.

WHAT ISN'T NON KNOWN AT

THIS TIME IS IF THE

EXECUTION OF THE TWO

al-QAEDA TERRORISTS IS IT

OR A MUCH GREATER RESPONSE

IS YET TO COME.

GARY LANE, CBN NEWS.

Wendy: CBN NEWS HAS

REPORTED ON HOW ISIS DROVE

CHRISTIANS OUT OF NORTHERN

IRAQ, FORCING THEM TO FLEE

THEIR HOMES AND LEAVE ALL OF

THEIR POSSESSIONS.

NOW THOSE GOODS ARE BEING

SOLD IN A SPECIAL MARKET

PLACE.

ACCORDING TO THE NEWS SITE,

ISIS HAS CREATED A MARKET

CALLED "SPOILS OF NAZRA,"

WHICH MEANS SPOILS OF

CHRISTIANS.

IT DISPLAYS REFRIGERATORS,

TVs AND OTHER ITEMS TANE

FROM CHRISTIANS' HOMES.

UNBELIEVABLE.

CHRIS MITCHELL BROUGHT US

THOSE STORIES ABOUT ISIS AND

IRAQI CHRISTIANS FROM

KURDISTAN LAST YEAR.

NOW HE HAS WRITTEN A BOOK

ABOUT THAT EXPERIENCE AND

THE ISLAMIC ARMY KNOWN AS

ISIS.

RECENTLY HE JOINED US FROM

OUR JERUSALEM BUREAU TO TALK

ABOUT "DESTINATION

JERUSALEM."

> CHRIS, WHY DID YOU WRITE

THIS BOOK NOW?

Reporter: WELL, THERE

WERE THREE REASONS.

THE FIRST REASON WAS TO TELL

PEOPLE ABOUT ISIS, HOW IT

DEVELOPED, AND WHAT DANGER

IT POSSESS NOT ONLY ON

ISRAEL AND THE MIDDLE EAST,

BUT ALSO FOR THE WORLD.

THE SECOND REASON WAS TO

TELL PEOPLE ABOUT THE AWFUL

PER CONSTITUTIOPERSECUTION

GOING ON.

AND THE THIRD REASON WAS TO

TELL PEOPLE HOW TO PREPARE

FOR THE DAYS AHEAD.

THE CURRENT DAYS ARE

DANGEROUS, BUT THEY COULD

GET EVEN WORSE.

Wendy: CHRIS, THIS

GROUP SEEMINGLY CAME OUT OF

NOWHERE LAST YEAR.

WHO IS ISIS AND WHAT IS

THEIR ULTIMATE GOAL?

Reporter: THEIR

ULTIMATE GOAL, WENDY, IS TO

ACTUALLY TAKE OVER THE

WORLD.

THEIR IMMEDIATE GOAL IS TO

SET UP A CALIPHATE.

THAT HAS BEEN A DREAM OF

MUSLIMS FOR MORE THAN A

HUNDRED YEARS.

IT IS SIMPLY AN ISLAMIC

EMPIRE RULED BY AN ISLAMIC

LAW, CALLED SHARI'A LAW.

THEY GOT STARTED IN IRAQ

MAYBE 10 YEARS OR SO AGO.

THE ROO ROOTS OF IT GO BACK

TO THE BEGINNINGS OF ISLAM.

THIS IS WHAT ISLAM WANTS TO

DO, TO LITERALLY TAKE OVER

THE WORLD.

THAT'S WHAT THEIR PLAN AND

GOAL IS.

Wendy: WHAT ABOUT THE

CHRISTIANS LIVING AND

NORTHERN IRAQ AND SYRIA,

WHERE ISIS HAS SET UP THEIR

CALIPHATE?

HOW ARE THEY COPING?

Reporter: IT IS VERY

DIFFICULT FOR THEM, WENDY.

WE HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO

MEET WITH MANY OF THESE

CHRISTIANS WHO HAVE BEEN

THROWN OUT OF THEIR HOMES

THEY HAVE LIVED IN FOR

GENERATIONS, PERHAPS, AND

DEFINITELY FOR YEARS.

THEY LOST THEIR LIVELIHOODS

AND THEY LOST THEIR

POSSESSIONS.

LET ME JUST SHOW YOU ONE

THING.

THIS IS A CAMOUFLAGED NEW

TESTAMENT BY A MAN NAMED

FADI.

HE HAS BEEN PUT ON THE HIT

LIST BY ISIS.

HE LOST NEARLY EVERYTHING.

HE BROKE DOWN WEEPING, WHEN

WE INTERVIEWED HIM ONE TIME,

AND HE GAVE ME THIS NEW

TESTAMENT AS A REMINDER FOR

ME OF ALL OF THE TENS OF

THOUSANDS OF CHRISTIANS WHO

LOST EVERYTHING.

THEY WERE GIVEN FOUR

CHOICES: CONVERT TO ISLAM,

THEY CAN PAY THE ISLAMIC TAX

FOR NON-MUSLIMS OR

INFIDELS.

THEY COULD LEAVE, OR THEY

COULD DIE BY THE TOWARD.

SWORD.

THESE ARE WHAT TENSE TENS

OF THOUSANDS OF CHRISTIANS

ARE FACING.

RIGHT NOW THEY'RE LIVING AS

REFUGEES IN KURDISTAN AND

NORTHERN IRAQ.

THIS IS SOMETHING THE CHURCH

IN THE WEST NEEDS TO KNOW

WHAT THEY'RE GOING THROUGH

AND PRAY FOR THEM AND SPEAK

UP FOR THEM ON THEIR

BEHALF.

Wendy: WHY ARE WE IN

THE WEST HEARING SO LITTLE

ABOUT THIS?

Reporter: I THINK PART

OF IT IS THE WESTERN MEDIA

DOESN'T REPORT ON IT LIKE

THEY SHOULD.

I HAVE HAD QUESTIONS FROM

JEWISH PEOPLE WHO HAVE ASKED

ME, CHRIS, WHY ISN'T THE

CHRISTIAN CHURCH SPEAKING

OUT ABOUT THE CHRISTIAN

PERSECUTION IN THE MIDDLE

EAST?

I DON'T HAVE AN ANSWER FOR

THAT.

IT HAS BEEN SOME JEWISH

LEADERS WHO HAVE BEEN

SPEAKING UP ON BEHALF OF

CHRISTIANS HERE IN THE

MIDDLE EAST.

THE REASON IS BECAUSE THEY

KNOW, BECAUSE OF THE

HOLOCAUST, WHAT HAPPENS WHEN

PEOPLE REMAIN SILENT IN THE

FACE OF THESE KIND OF

ATROCITIES.

Wendy: HOW DOES

JERUSALEM FIGURE INTO ISIS

AND ALL OF THIS?

Reporter: THEIR

ULTIMATE GOAL AND

DESTINATION IS JERUSALEM.

THEY WOULD LIKE TO SEE

JERUSALEM AS THE CAPITAL OF

THEIR FUTURE CALIPHATE.

TO DO THAT, THEY OBVIOUSLY

NEED TO DESTROY THE JEWISH

STATE.

THIS IS THEIR DESTINATION.

AND THEY TALK ABOUT THE MANY

DESTINATIONS THAT OTHER

PEOPLE HAVE.

IF YOU LOOK AT JERUSALEM,

YOU CAN THINK ABOUT IT AS

THE CROSSROADS OF HISTORY

AND PROPHECY.

THE CHRISTIANS ARE PAYING

FOR THE PEACE OF JERUSALEM

LIKE NEVER BEFORE.

THEY HAS MUSHROOMED IN THE

LAST 10 OR 15 YEARS.

THE JEWS ALWAYS SEE

JERUSALEM AS THEIR FINAL

DESTINATION.

FOR THOUSANDS OF YEAR THEY

HAVE BEEN PRAYING, NEXT YEAR

IN JERUSALEM.

AND NOW MANY JEWS HAVE COME

BACK TO THIS LAND.

IN 1967, THE CITY WAS

REUNION FIDE. REUNIONIFIED.

OF COURSE, HERE AS

CHRISTIANS, WE SAY THIS WILL

BE THE PLACE WHERE JESUS

CHRIST WILL COME BACK TO

ESTABLISH HIS KINGDOM, AND

THAT'S WHAT WE'RE ALL

LOOKING FORWARD TO.

Wendy: CHRIS, HOW DO WE

PREPARE FOR THE DARK DAYS

AHEAD?

YOU TALKED ABOUT THESE

INCREDIBLY TUMULTUOUS TIMES

WE'RE LIVING IN.

HOW DO WE PREPARE?

Reporter: THE BIBLE

SAYS WE NEED TO WATCH AND

PRAY.

I GO THROUGH ABOUT 10 THINGS

WE NEED TO DO.

THE FIRST THING IS TO WATCH

AND PRAY.

AND TO HAVE A KINGDOM

PERSPECTIVE AND UNDERSTAND

WE CAN INVEST NOT ONLY IN

THIS LIFE, BUT IN THE NEXT.

Wendy: CHRIS, WE

APPRECIATE YOU.

ONCE AGAIN, THE BOOK IS

CALLED "DESTINATION

JERUSALEM."

YOU WANT TO GET THAT.

CHRIS, THANKS FOR BEING WITH

US.

Reporter: THANKS,

WENDY.

GREAT TO BE WITH YOU.

Wendy: I CAN'T WAIT TO

READ THAT.

> THE ISIS ATROCITY EVEN

LEFT ITS MARK ON ONE OF

AMERICA'S LONGEST RELIGIOUS

TRADITIONS.

THE NATIONAL PRAYER

BREAKFAST IS AN ANNUAL EVENT

THAT HAS BEEN TAKING PLACE

SINCE 1953.

THIS YEAR PRESIDENT OBAMA

PUT AS SIDE HIS PLANNED

SPEECH AND ADDRESSED THE

DANGERS OF RELIGIOUS

FANATICISM.

HEATHER SELLS REPORTS.

Reporter: IT IS A

TRADITION THAT BRINGS

TOGETHER REPUBLICANS,

DEMOCRATS, WORLD AND

RELIGIOUS LEADERS.

SOME NOTABLE GUESTS THIS

YEAR INCLUDED THE DALAI LAMA

AND EBOLA SURVIVOR DR. KENT

BRANTLY.

CHINA CONSIDERS THE DALAI

LAMA A THREAT BECAUSE OF HIS

WORK TO SEE HIS NATIVE TIBET

FREE.

KING ABDULLAH CANCELLED HIS

PLANS AFTER THE HORRIFIC

MURDER OF A JORDIAN MULTIPLE

PILOT BY ISIS MILITANTS.

Heather: PRESIDENT

OBAMA SPOKE ABOUT HOW FAITH

CAN BE DISTORTED, AND

HORRIFIC ACTS DONE IN THE

NAME OF RELIGION.

President Obama: FROM A

SCHOOL IN PAKISTAN, TO THE

STREETS OF PARIS, WE HAVE

SEEN VIOLENCE AND TERROR

PERPETRATEED BPERPETRATED

BY THOSE WHO PROFESS TO

STAND UP FOR THEIR FAITH.

PROFESS TO STAND UP FOR

ISLAM BUT IN FACT ARE

BETRAYING IT.

ISIS IS A BRUTAL PEOPLE THAT

IN THE NAME OF RELIGION

CARRIES OUT UNSPEAKABLE ACTS

OF BARBARISM.

Reporter: THE PRESIDENT

SAYS WE NEED TO SPEAK UP TO

THOSE WHO WOULD USE RELIGION

TO JUSTIFY VIOLENCE.

President Obama: NO GOD

CONDONES TERROR, OR THE

TAKING OF INNOCENT LIVES, OR

THE OPPRESSION OF THOSE WHO

ARE WEAKER OR FEWER IN

NUMBER.

SO AS PEOPLE OF FAITH, WE

ARE SUMMONED TO PUSH BACK

AGAINST THOSE WHO TRY TO

DISTORT OUR RELIGION, ANY

RELIGION, FOR THEIR OWN

MEANS.

Reporter: MR. OBAMA

MADE SURE TO STRESS THAT

ISLAM IS NOT THE ONLY

RELIGION THAT HAS INSPIRED

VIOLENCE.

President Obama: AND

LEST WE GET ON OUR HIGH

HORSE AND THINK THIS IS

UNIQUE TO SOME OTHER PLACE,

REMEMBER THAT DURING THE

CRUSADES AND THE

INQUISITION, PEOPLE

COMMITTED TERRIBLE DEEDS IN

THE NAME OF CHRIST.

IN OUR HOME COUNTRY,

SLAVERY, AND JIM CROLLE, ALL

TOO OFTEN WAS JUSTIFIED IN

THE NAME OF CHRIST.

Reporter: THE PRESIDENT

HAS COME UNDER FIRE FROM

PUNDENTS AND ON SOCIAL MEDIA

FOR THAT REMARK.

WHILE OTHERS ARE SAYING THEY

WAITING TO SEE A STRONG U.S.

RESPONSE TO ISIS.

HEATHER SELLS, CBN NEWS.

Wendy: I'M NOT SURE

WHAT SLAVERY HAS TO DO WITH

ISIS.

> RELIGIOUS FREEDOM IN

UKRAINE WAS A SIDEBAR AT THE

NATIONAL PRAYER BREAKFAST

THIS YEAR.

THE WHITE HOUSE IS WEIGHING

WHETHER TO GIVE AID TO THE

WAR-TORN NATION.

THEY HOSTED A ROUND

ROUNDTABLE ON HOW THIS

FIGHTING IS STRIPPING

RELIGIOUS PERSECUTION.

THERE HAS BEEN A RISE IN

INTOLERANCE TOWARDS

CHRISTIAN CHURCHES.

PASTORS AND PRIESTS HAVE

BEEN KIDNAPPED AND SUBJECTED

TO HARSH IN INTERROGATIONS,

TORTURE, AND EVEN HAD THEIR

CHURCHES SEIZED.

TWO SONS OF A PENTECOSTAL

PASTOR AND TWO DEACONS WERE

TAKEN HOSTAGE AND SHOT AND

KILLED IN A MASS GRAVE THE

NEXT DAY.

OBSERVERS SAY RUSSIA HAS A

RELIGIOUS POLICY THAT

TARGETS BELIEVERS WHO BELONG

TO MORE PRO-UKRAINIAN OR

PRO-WESTERN-ALIGNED GROUPS.

Through Translator:

CORRESPONDENTLY, THOSE WHO

ARE NOT BELONGING TO THE

RUSSIA WORLD, FOR EXAMPLE,

PROTESTANTS OR CATHOLICS ARE

DESCRIBED AS OPPONENTS OR

ENEMIES.

I BELIEVE YOUR COURAGE

AND COMMITMENT TO RELIGIOUS

FREEDOM WILL ULTIMATELY

PREVAIL.

GOD STILL HAS HIS HAND ON

THE PEOPLE OF UKRAINE.

Wendy: AND YOU CAN SEE

CBN'S REPORTS ON THE

FIGHTING IN UKRAINE AND

RELIGIOUS PERSECUTION

THERE.

JUST LOG ON TO

CBNNEWS.COM.

> A CHINESE CATHOLIC

BISHOP HAS SPENT NEARLY HALF

HIS LIFE IN PRISON, AND HE

HAS DIED.

94-YEAR-OLD BISHOP COZMI WAS

IMPRISONED BY THE COMMUNIST

REGIME FOR MORE THAN 40

YEARS.

HE SPENT 23 YEARS DOING HARD

LABOR AT A PRISON CAMP BY

REFUSING TO SUBMIT TO

RELIGIOUS OVERSIGHT BY

AUTHORITIES.

HIS RELATIVES AND FRIENDS

NEVER SAW HIM AGAIN, AND

REPEATED REQUESTS ABOUT HIS

WHEREABOUTS AND CONDITION

WERE NEVER ANSWER ITS.

ANSWERED.

THE GOVERNMENT NOTIFIED THEM

OF HIS DEATH ON

NOVEMBER 30th.

> COMING UP, HOW CHRISTIAN

MINISTRIES CAN STAND UP FOR

ISRAEL.

Wendy: WELCOME BACK.

CHRISTIAN AND MESSIANIC

JEWISH BELIEVERS ARE

CONCERNED ABOUT THE GROWING

HATRED OF JEWS AROUND THE

WORLD.

SO LEADERS CAME TOGETHER AT

A SUMMIT IN COLORADO.

WITH A PLAN TO FIGHT

ANTI-SEMITISM BY STANDING ON

SCRIPTURE AND WITH THE

NATION OF ISRAEL.

JOHN WAGGI HAS THAT STORY.

Reporter: AS QUESTIONS

GET WORSE GLOBALLY FOR JEWS

AND CHRISTIANS, THE MESSAGE

FROM THE ISRAEL SUMMIT IS

CLEAR: IT IS TIME FOR THOSE

WHO BELIEVE THE BIBLE TO

STAND WITH ISRAEL.

HERE AT RESURRECTION

FELLOWSHIP, HUNDREDS OF

CHRISTIAN AND JEWISH

BELIEVERS ARE ON HAND TO

WITNESS THE LAUNCH OF A

GLOBAL EFFORT, CALLED

"FIRST...."

"FIRM."

IT IS A WORK AGAINST HATRED,

AND TO BLESS THE WORLD BY

SUPPORTING ISRAEL AND THE

JEWISH PEOPLE.

HE SAYS IT WILL COME WITH A

COST.

CERTAINLY AMONG MANY IN

THE ISLAMIC WORLD, WE, THE

SUNDAY PEOPLE, ARE VIEWED

JUST AS BAD AS THE SATURDAY

PEOPLE.

AND THERE MAY COME A DAY

SOON WHERE OUR LIVES WILL BE

AT RISK BECAUSE OF OUR

COMMITMENT TO LOVE AND BLESS

THE JEWISH PEOPLE.

Reporter: THIS RABBI

SAYS THE HATRED OF JEWS IS

AN OUTGROWTH OF A FIERCE

SPIRITUAL CLASH BETWEEN GOD

AND SATAN.

FOLKS, WE ARE IN A

BATTLE.

WE ARE FACING A VERY REAL

ENEMY WHO IS WOUNDED AND

TRULY BELIEVES THAT HE CAN

STOP GOD'S PLAN FROM BEING

FULFILLED.

WHAT'S OUR JOB?

FULFILL THE PLAN.

Reporter: ANTI-SEMITISM

IS AT ITS STRONGEST ON MANY

COLLEGE CAMPUSES, SO THE

SUMMIT IS PAYING SPECIAL

ATTENTION TO YOUNG PEOPLE.

22-YEAR-OLD MICHAEL ASTRETA

HAS A KEY ROLE IN REACHING

THEM WITH A MESSAGE MESSAGE

ITHAT IS MORE SPIRITUAL

THAN POLITICAL.

I THINK ABOUT HOW GOD

SHOWS ME MERCY.

HOW MUCH MORE WILL HE DO FOR

ISRAEL?

Reporter: THE "STAND

FOR ISRAEL" MOVEMENT IS

WORLDWIDE.

AND THE PEOPLE WHO CAME TO

COLORADO ARE FROM MANY

COUNTRIES AND MANY U.S.

STATES.

GATHERING TOGETHER WITH

OTHERS WHO HAVE THE SAME

HEART AND SAME MIND, TO SEE

GOD'S PURPOSE FULFILLED, TO

SEE ISRAEL SUPPORTED, TO SEE

THE JEWISH PEOPLE COME BACK

TO THEIR OWN MESSIAH.

Reporter: BETH SHEAR

SAYS THE SUMMIT CHANGED HER

PERSPECTIVE.

KNOWING THAT TIMES ARE

GOING TO BE COMING WHERE

THEY'RE NOT GOING TO EVEN

LIKE US FOR WHAT WE STAND

FOR, BUT WE STILL NEED TO

STAND FOR THEM.

Reporter: RABBI BERNIS

BELIEVES THE UNITING OF

JEWISH AND GENTILE

LEADERSHIP CAN SOLVE MANY

PROBLEMS.

LIKE THE RISE OF

ANTI-SEMITISM, ANTI-ISRAEL

ATTITUDES -- WE NEED TO DEAL

WITH THIS TOGETHER.

AND WE NEED TO DO IT NOW.

Reporter: JOHN WAGGI,

CBN NEWS, LOVELAND,

COLORADO.

*

Wendy: THANKS, JOHN.

> COMING UP, OUT OF THE

DUST AND INTO THE

CLASSROOM.

A CHRISTIAN MINISTRY THAT IS

CHANGING LIVES AMONG THE

POOREST OF THE POOR.

TO

CHRISTIAN WORLD NEWS.

THERE IS A DUMP JUST OUTSIDE

MANILA THAT IS HOME TO

THOUSANDS OF CHILDREN.

ALONG WITH THEIR PARENTS,

THEY LIVE THERE, THEY WORK

THERE, AND THEY BARELY

SCRAPE OUT AN EXISTENCE.

BUT CHRISTIAN ORGANIZATION

IS HELPING SOME TO ESCAPE

THROUGH EDUCATION AND

PRAYER.

DAVID MINTZ TELLS US MORE.

Reporter: IT IS A

TIME.

THE FIRST DUMP TRUCK

ARRIVES.

THERE WILL BE MORE, ALMOST

500 BEFORE THE DAY IS OVER.

NEXT COMES THE SMALL ARMY OF

HUMAN SCAVENGERS, LOOKING

FOR ANYTHING THEY CAN

RECYCLE, TO EARN, IF LUCKY,

ABOUT 89 PHILIPPINE PESOS

ADAY.

THEY FACE FLIES, DISEASES,

AND TOXIC ODORS.

ONE DESCRIBES IT AS LEAVING

YOUR GARBAGE OUT FOR A WEEK

AND THEN STICKING YOUR HEAD

INSIDE THE BAG.

CHILDREN THREE YEARS OF

AGE NEED TO PICK UP THE

PIECES OF METAL AND

PLASTIC.

THERE IS NO RUNNING WATER,

NO SANITATION, AND IT IS NOT

EVEN SAFE.

CHILDREN QUICKLY LEARN AT A

YOUNG AGE THAT LIFE HERE IS

HARD.

AND THEY HAVE NO HOPE OF

DREAMING FOR A BETTER LIFE.

Reporter: BUT THE FIRST

SCHOOL, ABOUT 10 MINUTES

FROM THE DUMP WAS A DERELICT

WAREHOUSE.

THEN IN 2010, A NEW SCHOOL

WAS BUILT OUT OF RECYCLED

SHIPPING CONTAINERS.

IT NOW HAS AN ENROLLMENT OF

800 STUDENTS.

THEY EDUCATE CHILDREN FOR

SEVEN HOURS A DAY, FEED

BREAKFAST AND LUNCH.

AND THEY EARN AWARDS FOR

ACADEMIC ACHIEVEMENTS AND

ATTENDANCE.

Reporter: THEY TAKE A

HOLISTIC APPROACH, CATERING

TO BOTH THE PHYSICAL AND THE

SPIRITUAL NEEDS OF THE

CHILDREN.

EDUCATION PROGRAMS HAVE

STRONG EMPHASIS ON EMOTIONAL

AND PHYSICAL DEVELOPMENT.

OUR GOALS ARE ENROLLMENT

TO EMPLOYMENT.

AND WE'RE JUST GETTING THE

FIRST BATCH OF STUDENTS INTO

UNIVERSITY.

THEY'RE GETTING JOBS, AND

THIS IS E ENABLING THEM TO

BREAK THE CYCLE OF POVERTY.

Reporter: JESSICA USED

TO BE A WASTE PICKER, BUT

WHEN SHE WAS SEVEN, SHE

ENROLLED IN THE SCHOOL.

SHE STARTED BALLET AS AN

AFTER-SCHOOL ACTIVITY.

AND IN JUST FIVE YEARS, SHE

IS PERFORMING WITH THE MOST

PRESTIGIOUS BALLET COMPANIES

IN MANILA.

> FOR MOST, EDUCATION IS

NOT AN OPTION.

EVEN THE CHILDREN WHO ATTEND

THIS SCHOOL, FEEL THE NEED

TO CONTRIBUTE TOWARDS THE

FAMILY'S INCOME, AND THIS

WORKING AFTER SCHOOL ON THE

GARBAGE MOUND IS NOT

UNCOMMON.

P.T. F. PROVIDES WEEKLY

FOOD FOR THE CHILDREN, BASED

ON THEIR ATTENDANCE.

AND WE HAVE EXTRACURRICULAR

CLASSES TO KEEP THEM AWAY

FROM THE DUMP SITES WHERE

THEY MAY BE FORCED TO WORK.

Reporter: ONE ENGINEER

SAID IT WOULD TAKE 3,000

TRUCKS A DAY, 11 YEARS, JUST

TO MOVE ALL OF THE GARBAGE

THAT IS HERE.

AND NEW GARBAGE ARRIVES AT

1200 TONS A DAY.

SO THERE WILL ALWAYS BE A

DUMP SITE AND ALWAYS BE

CHILDREN TO WORK IT.

BUT ONE BY ONE, THROUGH THE

EFFORTS OF P.T. F. SCHOOL

AND OTHER CHRISTIAN

ORGANIZATIONS, CHILDREN ARE

FIGHTING THEIR WAY OUT.

Wendy: THANK YOU,

DAVID.

AN ENCOURAGING STORY.

YOU CAN FOLLOW CHRISTIAN

WORLD NEWS ON Facebook.

SIMPLY LIKE OUR Facebook

PAGE AND YOU'LL GET DALE THE

STORIES ABOUT THE CHURCH

AROUND THE WORLD, RIGHT IN

YOUR NEWS FEED.

WE WILL BE BACK.

STAY TUNED.

Wendy: FINALLY THIS

WEEK, THE BIBLE CERTAINLY

COMMANDS US TO LOVE AND

SERVE THE POOR.

BUT MOST OF US WANT TO MAKE

SURE THAT OUR MONEY IS

DEFINITELY GOING TO HELP THE

POOR.

CBN NEWS TALKED WITH SOME

FOLKS WHO AREN'T JUST

TO BECOME

RESCUERS THEMSELVES.

Reporter: BELIEVERS

KNOW THEY'RE SUPPOSED TO

HELP THE POOR, BUT OFTEN

FEEL CHALLENGED HOW TO DO

THAT SO IT HAS LASTING

IMPACT.

OPPORTUNITY INTERNATIONAL AT

THIS EVENT IN WASHINGTON

SAID THE BEST WAY IS TO

OFFER MICROFINANCING.

ALMOST

$9 BILLION IN LOANS FOR

ALMOST 22 COUNTRIES.

THEIR C.E.O. SAYS THEY WANT

TO DO SO MUCH MORE.

WE HAVE A GOAL OF

CREATING 20 MILLION JOBS BY

2020, WHICH WILL AFFECT

100 MILLION PEOPLE.

Reporter: AT THIS

LUNCH-TIME TALK THEY LAID

OUT WHY CHRISTIANS WOULD BE

WISE TO USE THEIR RESOURCES

TO AID ENTREPRENEURIAL WOMEN

IN THE THIRD WORLD.

THEY FREQUENTLY DO MORE WITH

THE LOANS THAN MEN MIGHT.

OUT OF EVERY DOLLAR THEY

EARN, THEY REINVEST 90% OF

THEIR INCOME BACK TO THEIR

FAMILIES.

SO THEY ARE REALLY FOCUSED

ON IMPROVING NOT ONLY THEIR

LIVES, BUT THE LIVES OF

THEIR CHILDREN, THE HEALTH

OF THEIR COMMUNITIES, AND

THE HEALTH OF THEIR

COUNTRY.

Reporter: THE EMPHASIS

HERE IS IF YOU HELP PEOPLE

DEVELOP JOBS AND BUSINESSES,

NOT ONLY DOES IT PULL THEM

OUT OF POVERTY, IT GIVES

THEM THE MEANS TO TURN

AROUND AND HELP OTHERS OUT

AS WELL.

PAUL STRAND, CBN NEWS,

WASHINGTON.

Wendy: THANKS FOR BEING

THANKS, PAUL.

THANKS SO MUCH FOR JOINING

US, AND FOR ALL OF US HERE

AT CHRISTIAN WORLD NEWS,

UNTIL NEXT WEEK, GOOD BYE

AND GOD BLESS YOU.
