Wendy: ACT ONE, SCENE

ONE OF THE STORY OF

AMERICA.

THEY WERE GOING TO

AMERICA TO LIVE OUT A NEW

KIND OF GOVERNMENT AND

CHRISTIANITY.

Wendy: AND THEN...

I HEARD THIS

BLOOD-CURDLING SCREAM.

Wendy: ...A 2-YEAR-OLD

GOES 100 MINUTES WITHOUT A

PULSE.

HE WAS IN CARDIAC

ARREST.

Wendy: AND HE LIVES.

NOTHING SHORT OF A

MIRACLE.

Wendy: OUR WEEK OF

PRAYER CONTINUES ON TODAY'S

"700 CLUB."

JUST GIVE HIM OVER TO

ME.

*

Pat: WELCOME TO THIS

EDITION OF "THE 700 CLUB."

YOU'VE HEARD OF THE FOURTH

OF JULY, BUT YOU MAY NOT BE

AS MAMIA FAMILIAR WITH

APRIL 29th.

WELL, WHAT HAPPENED ON THAT

DAY BACK IN 1607 PRE-DATED

THE FOUNDING FATHERS, AND IT

EVEN PRE-DATED THE LANDING

OF THE MAYFLOWER, AND IT

SEEDED THE GROUND, TO LET

THIS COUNTRY GROW INTO THE

GREATEST CHRISTIAN NATION

THE WORLD HAD EVER SEEN.

Wendy: WE'LL TELL YOU

WHAT HAPPENED ON THIS DAY

MORE THAN 400 YEARS AGO.

BUT, FIRST IN THE NEWS,

JUSTICE ANTHONY KENNEDY IS

EXPECTED TO BE THE PIVOTAL

SWING VOTE IN THE SAME-SEX

MARRIAGE RULING AT THE

SUPREME COURT.

THAT COULD IMPOSE GAY

MARRIAGE ON THE COUNTRY OR

LEAVE IT UP TO THE STATES.

PAUL STRAND HAS THE STORY.

Reporter: WHENEVER

JUSTICES HEAR A CASE DEALING

WITH SAME-SEX MARRIAGE,

PARTISANS ON BOTH SIDES FILL

THE SUPREME COURT PLAZA WITH

SIGNS AND COLORFUL COSTUMES

AND LOTS OF YELLING.

JESUS LOVED THE SINNERS.

THEY'RE TELLING YOU GOD WILL

HEAR YOUR PRAYERS.

Reporter: ORTHODOX JEWS

ARE CONDEMNING HOMOSEXUAL

ACTIVITY, AND PRO GAYS

PROTEST AGAINST THE ORTHODOX

JEWS WITH SIGNS AND SONGS.

ALL OF THIS EFFORT IN THE

HOPE OF PUSHING THE SUPREME

COURT ONE WAY OR THE OTHER

AS IT MOLDS THESE FOUR CASES

ROLLED INTO ONE THAT COULD

DECIDE IF SAME-SEX MARRIAGE

IS IMPOSED ON THE ENTIRE

NATION.

WHAT IS INTERESTING IS IF

ANY OF THESE DEMONSTRATORS

OUTSIDE, OR EVEN THE LAWYERS

INSIDE, WILL HAVE ANY EFFECT

ON THE JAWFORTS.

JUSTICES.

SOME ANALYSTS SAY FOUR HAVE

ALREADY MADE UP THEIR MINDS,

LEAVING ANTHONY KENNEDY

AGAIN AS THE SWING VOTE TO

ANSWER THIS QUESTION IF ALL

STATES SHOULD HAVE TO

RECOGNIZE SAME-SEX

MARRIAGE.

SOME THINK KENNEDY MIGHT BE

LEANING TOWARDS LETTING THE

STATES AND THE PEOPLE

DECIDE, RATHER THAN THE

JUSTICES.

HE SAID, THIS IS THE

MARRIAGE DEFINITION WE HAVE

HAD FOR A MILLIO MILLENIA.

Reporter: BUT THEY SAID

TO THE JAWFORTS JUSTICES,

IF THEY RULE AGAINST IT...

YOU ARE ENDORSING THAT

THE FAMILY ARE INFERIOR.

Reporter: THIS LESBIAN

COUPLE CONTENDS THE NATION

IS READY FOR GAY MARRIAGE,

EXCEPT FOR A MISGUIDED FEW.

PEOPLE ARE NOT REALLY

UNDERSTANDING THAT WE'RE

JUST LIKE EVERYBODY ELSE

BECAUSE SOMEONE SOMEWHERE

HAD TAUGHT THEM SOMETHING

DIFFERENT.

Reporter: BUT A LEADING

SOUTHERN BAPTIST OFFICIAL

DISAGREES.

THE STATE HAS SPOKEN ON

THIS.

AND WHEN THE PEOPLE HAVE

SPOKEN, THEY SAID MARRIAGE

IS A UNION BETWEEN A MAN AND

A WOMAN.

Reporter: AND DUKE SAYS

GOD SEES IT THAT WAY, TOO.

GOD DEFINED MARRIAGE AS A

UNION OF ONE MAN AND A

WOMAN.

REGARDLESS OF WHAT HUMANS

DECIDE TO DO ABOUT THAT, IT

DOESN'T CHANGE WHAT MARRIAGE

REALLY IS, AND THE SUPREME

COURT COULD LEAVE THE

DEFINITION THAT GOD HAS

GIVEN US ALONE.

Reporter: THIS RABBI

WARNS IF THE GOVERNMENT

FORCES GAY MARRIAGE ON THE

WHOLE COUNTRY, IT WILL BE AN

OFFICIAL DISAGREEMENT WITH

GOD.

WE PLEAD WITH OUR JUDGES,

WE PLEAD WITH OUR FELLOW

PEOPLE, LET'S REMEMBER THERE

IS A GOD ON THE UNIVERSE.

LET'S REMEMBER THERE IS ONE

GIVING US AIR TO BREATHE AND

KEEPING US ALIVE.

Reporter: FORMER

LESBIAN AND NOW PRO-LIFE

ACTIVIST BRANDY SAYS

NATIONWIDE,

GOVERNMENT-BACKED GAY

MARRIAGE WILL HURT AMERICA,

SUCH AS ABORTION DID.

ROE VS. WADE, ONE-THIRD

OF MY GENERATION GONE.

IT WILL BE JUST LIKE THAT.

Reporter: THAT'S THE

KIND OF HOT AND HEAVY

EMOTION SAME-SEX MARRIAGE

BRINGS OUT ON THE SUPREME

COURT PLAZA.

BUT INSIDE THE COURT, IT IS

ALL ABOUT THE ARGUMENT:

SHOULD THE STATES HAVE THE

RIGHT TO DECIDE THIS OR

SHOULD THE COURTS SAY ALL 50

STATES MUST RECOGNIZE GAY

MARRIAGE FROM THIS POINT

ON.

THE DECISION PROBABLY COMES

OUT IN LATE JUNE.

PAUL STRAND, CBN NEWS,

REPORTING FROM THE SUPREME

COURT.

Pat: THANK YOU, PAUL.

LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, BACK

IN '73, THE COURT RULED IN

ROE VS. WADE THAT THERE WAS

A CO CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHT

TO TERMINATE A LIFE.

AND THAT WAS NOT VETTED BY

THE STATES.

IT WAS NOT VOTED ON BY THE

PEOPLE.

IT WAS DECIDED BY A NARROW

MAJORITY ON THE COURT USING

VERY, VERY QUESTIONABLE

SCIENCE, WHICH HAS BEEN

PROVEN TO BE TOTALLY

ERRONEOUS IN SUBSEQUENT

YEARS.

BUT THAT THING HAS LEFT THE

COUNTRY IN CHAOS FOR ALL OF

THE YEARS SUBSEQUENT.

AND THIS SAME THING WOULD BE

THE CASE.

THE SUPREME COURT SHOULD NOT

INTERFERE WITH SOMETHING

LIKE THIS.

THEY OUGHT TO JUST LEAVE IT

TO THE STATES, LEAVE IT TO

WHOEVER, BUT NOT MAKE IT

SOME KIND OF A NATIONAL

THING.

ONCE IT IS ENSHRINED IN THE

CONSTITUTION, THERE IS

NOTHING PEOPLE CAN DO ABOUT

IT.

AS LONG AS IT IS UP TO THE

PEOPLE, YOU CAN VOTE IT IN

OR VOTE IT OUT.

BUT THE SUPREME COURT, WHAT

CAN YOU DO?

WHAT CAN YOU DO WITH ROE VS.

WADE.

THEY COME UP AND SAY, WELL,

IT'S CONSTITUTIONAL.

WELL, WHY?

THERE IS NOTHING IN THE

CONSTITUTION HAVING TO DO

WITH GAY MARRIAGE.

THE FOUNDING FATHERS WOULD

BE HORRIFIED THAT THEY

THOUGHT WE WERE TALKING

ABOUT ADDING THAT TO THE

CONSTITUTION THEY HAD

DRAFTED.

THERE IS NOTHING IN OUR

HISTORY THAT IN ANY WAY,

SHAPE, OR FORM GIVES

CREDENCE TO THE THOUGHT THAT

WE SHOULD HAVE SAME-SEX

MARRIAGE.

IT'S JUST NOT IN OUR

HISTORY.

WELL, ANYHOW, WE'LL SEE WHAT

HAPPENS.

REMEMBER, CHANCES ARE THEY

VOTED YESTERDAY.

THEY WON'T ANNOUNCE THE

DECISION YET.

THEY'LL DECIDE WHO WRITES

THE DECISION AND WHO HAS THE

SENSE AND SO FORTH.

BUT CHIEF JUSTICE ROBERTS

WILL DECIDE WHO WRITES THE

DECISION.

I DON'T KNOW WHAT KENNEDY

WOULD DO.

IT SEEMS LIKE TO ME HE WOULD

COME DOWN ON THE SIDE OF THE

STATES ON THIS ONE.

> IN OTHER NEWS, THE

CURFEW HAS RESTORED CALM TO

BALTIMORE.

BUT THAT'S ONLY TEMPORARY.

JOHN JES GESTURE HAS THAT

JOHN JESSUP HAS THAT STORY

FROM WASHINGTON.

John: BALTIMORE NOW

FACES THE HUGE TASK OF

REBUILDING AFTER ALL OF THE

DAMAGE FROM MONDAY NIGHT'S

MASSIVE RIOTS.

EFREM GRAHAM BRINGS US THE

STORY.

GO HOME!

IS THAT TOO HARD TO DO?

Efrem: BALTIMORE

RESIDENTS LOCKED ARMS TO

JOIN FORCES WITH MORE THAN

1,000 POLICE OFFICERS AND

2,000 NATIONAL GUARDSMAN TO

ENACT THE FIRST NIGHT OF THE

CITY'S 10:00 CURFEW.

SOME DEFIANT DEMONSTRATORS

REFUSED TO LEAVE.

BUT THAT RESISTANCE LASTED

ONLY ABOUT 30 MINUTES, UNTIL

OFFICERS FIRED FLASH BANGS

AND TOSSED SMOKE CANISTERS.

I THINK THE BIGGEST THING

IS THAT CITIZENS ARE SAFE,

THE CITY IS STABLE.

WE HOPE TO MAINTAIN IT THAT

WAY.

Efrem: TUESDAY NIGHT

WAS A FAR CRY FROM MONDAY,

WHEN RIOTERS TORCHED CARS,

TOSSED DEBRIS AT POLICE, AND

TORE APART BUSINESSES.

OFFICERS ONLY ARRESTED 10

PEOPLE ON TUESDAY, COMPARED

TO MORE THAN 400 MONDAY.

THIS IS AN IMAGE MANY

BALTIMORE RESIDENTS AND

CHURCH LEADERS SPENT THEIR

TUESDAY TRYING TO ERASE.

THEY JOINED TOGETHER AND HIT

THE STREETS TO CLEAN.

WE ARE FRUSTRATED.

WE JUST NEED TO FIND A

BETTER WAY TO DEAL WITH IT.

Efrem: IN THE MIDST OF

MONDAY'S CHAOS, THIS

FRUSTRATED BALTIMORE MOTHER

WAS HAILED A HERO.

WHEN SHE SPOTTED HER

TEENAGED SON ON LIVE

TELEVISION THROWING ROCKS AT

POLICE, THE SINGLE MOM

MARCHED DOWN THE STREET AND

FOUGHT TO DRAG HIM HOME,

GIVING HIM A SEVERE TALKING

TO ALONG THE WAY.

SHE TOLD REPORTERS, SHE

DIDN'T WANT TO SEE HER SON

LOST TO VIOLENCE OR POLICE

BRUTALITY, LIKE FREDDIE

GRAY, WHO'S DEATH FIRST

SPARKED A PROTEST ONLY A

WEEK AGO.

PRESIDENT OBAMA SPOKE OUT,

CALLING THE RIOTERS

CRIMINALS AND THUGS, BUT HE

ALSO POIN POINTED OUT THAT

BALTIMORE'S PROBLEMS ARE

MUCH OLDER AND DEEPER THAN

THE ONE DEATH.

President Obama: THIS

HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR A LONG

TIME.

THIS IS NOT NEW.

AND WE SHOULDN'T PRETEND

THAT IT IS NEW.

Efrem: REPAIRING

RELATIONS BETWEEN PEOPLE AND

POLICE IS GOING TO TAKE TIME

IN THIS CITY.

THEY NOW ALSO HAVE TO FIND

WAYS TO REBUILD BUSINESSES.

IT BREAKS MY HEART

BECAUSE THOSE OF US WHO ARE

FROM BALTIMORE KNOW HOW HARD

WE FOUGHT FOR THOSE

RESOURCES AND THOSE STORES.

Efrem: EFREM GRAHAM,

CBN NEWS.

John: THANKS, EFREM.

PAT, HEARTBREAKING SCENES

OUT OF BALTIMORE.

Pat: IT IS.

BUT THE MAYOR, LET'S FACE

IT, SHE BROUGHT IT ON.

IT WAS KIND OF LIKE AN

INVITATION TO THIS STUFF.

IT WOULD HAVE BEEN THE

EASIEST THING IN THE WORLD,

AND I KNOW IT SOUNDS BRUTAL,

BUT IF THE POLICE WERE

CALLED IN, THEY WERE TOLD TO

STAND ASIDE.

IF THEY ASKED THE GOVERNOR

FOR THE NATIONAL GUARD, THEY

WOULD HAVE SENT THEM IN.

BUT INSTEAD OF O THE, THE

MAYOR SAID, LET'S LET THE

GUYS VENT A LITTLE BIT.

AND YOU CAN'T LET THEM

VENT.

AND WHO GOT HURT?

BLACK BUSINESS OWNERS.

AND THEY'RE THE ONES THAT

SUFFERED.

AND WHO KNOWS HOW MANY

TEENAGERS WHO CAME IN.

IT WAS JUST A BIG LARK.

THEY WERE HAVING JUST A BIG

PARTY, AND THEY WERE DOING

IT AT THE EXPENSE OF C.V.S.

AND OTHER BUSINESSES.

WHAT DO YOU DO TO STOP

THEM?

YOU HAVE TEAR GAS.

IT WILL NOT INJURY THEM

PERMANENTLY, BUT IT SHOULD

WILL MAKE THEM

UNCOMFORTABLE.

THEY WILL BE CHOKING IN GAS

AND GOING HOME.

THE OTHER THING THE POLICE

COULD DO IS USE RUBBER

BULLETS AND SHOOT NOT LETHAL

SHOTS.

BUT THERE NEEDS TO BE

SOMETHING THAT SAYS TO THOSE

PEOPLE, YOU DON'T DO THIS,

AND WE'RE GOING TO STOP IT.

BUT IF THE POLICE HAD BEEN

THERE AND THE NATIONAL GUARD

HAD BEEN THERE, IT WOULDN'T

HAVE HAPPENED.

BUT THE MAYOR DIDN'T WANT

THAT.

AND SO IT TOOK A WHOLE NIGHT

OF RIOTING AND DESTRUCTION.

WHO KNOWS HOW MANY MILLIONS

OF DOLLARS.

BUT WHAT HAS IT DONE TO THE

REPUTATION OF BALTIMORE?

WHAT BUSINESS WOULD WANT TO

START IN BALTIMORE?

THEY'VE BEEN TRYING AND

TRYING AND TRYING TO BUILD

SOME KIND OF AN ECONOMIC

BASE, AND ALL OF A SUDDEN

THESE KIDS GO WILD.

THEY'VE GOT TO BE

CONTROLLED.

DON'T TELL ME THIS ANGER IS

BUILDING UP OVER A PERIOD OF

TIME.

THERE ARE WAYS OF SETTLING

THIS.

YOU SETTLE IT AS THE BALLOT

BOX AND THEN YOU SETTLE IT

IN THE COURTS.

AND YOU CAN BRING CHARGES

AGAINST POLICE THAT ARE OUT

OF CONTROL, IF THEY WERE.

IT CERTAINLY SEEMS TO BE

POLICE BRUTALITY IN THAT

PERSON WHO'S SPINE WAS

INJURED IN POLICE CUSTODY.

BUT, NEVERTHELESS, THEY'VE

GOT TO BE TAUGHT, AND THE

POLICE HAVE GOT TO BE

TAUGHT.

BUT YOU VOTE THOSE GUYS OUT

AND YOU BRING LAWSUITS

AGAINST THEM, BUT YOU DON'T

GO TEAR DOWN BUILDINGS AND

SET THE CITY ON FIRE AND

THEN THROW ROCKS AT THE

POLICE.

AND THE POLICE HAVE AN

ABSOLUTE RIGHT TO DEFEND

THEMSELVES SO THEY CAN

PROTECT THE CITIZENS.

AND IF YOU GIVE THEM TEAR

GAS, THEY CAN USE SMOKE

GRENADES.

SMOKE IS OKAY.

I THINK TEAR GAS IS A WHOLE

LOT BETTER.

Wendy: YOU KNOW, PAT,

RUDY GIULANI, IN NEW YORK,

HE DIDN'T ALLOW RIOTERS IN

HIS CITY WHEN HE WAS MAYOR.

HE SAID HE PUT A SQUASH ON

THAT RIGHT AWAY.

Pat: HE HAD COMPUTERS,

AND THE COMPUTERS IDENTIFIED

WHERE THE HIGHEST CRIME

AREAS WERE.

AND SO HE MOBILIZED THE

POLICE INTO THAT AREA.

AND THEY JUST FOCUSED IN,

AND THEY SAID WE'RE NOT

GOING TO LET THESE THUGS

TAKE OVER.

WE'RE NOT GOING TO LET THIS

PART OF OUR CITY BE A HAVEN

OF CRIME.

AND THEY BEGAN TO BANG ON

THOSE PEOPLE.

AND THEY ARRESTED THEM AND

THEY PUT THEM DOWN.

AND BEFORE LONG, THE CITY

WAS REVITALIZED, AND IT WAS

A TREMENDOUS THING.

THE PROPERTY VALUES WERE UP,

AND EVERYBODY WAS HAPPY.

JOHN?

John: PAT, DEMOCRATIC

PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE

HILLARY CLINTON SAYS THE

BALTIMORE RIOTS SHOW THE

NEED TO RESTORE ORDER AND

SECURITY, AND SHE SAYS WE

NEED TO FIND WAYS TO REFORM

THE CRIMINAL JUSTICE SYSTEM,

LIKE CHANGING SOME OF THE

SENTENCES FOR LESSER

CRIMES.

IN A SPEECH TODAY, CLINTON

IS LAYING OUT HER PLANS TO

ADDRESS THOSE PROBLEMS.

SHE SAYS THERE SHOULD BE

REFORMS FOR PROBATION,

INCREASED SUPPORT FOR MENTAL

HEALTH AND DRUG TREATMENT,

AND SHE SAYS THEY HAS TO BE

ALTERNATIVE LEGAL PENALTIES

FOR LOW-LEVEL OFFENDERS,

OFFENDERS.

Pat: AND SHE IS FEEDING

OFF WHAT WE SAID.

THERE ARE MORE PEOPLE

INCARCERATED HERE IN THE

UNITED STATES THAN ANYWHERE

ELSE.

WE TALK ABOUT BEING TOUGH ON

CRIME, AND WE HAVE MANDATORY

MINIMUM SENTENCES, AND IT IS

JUST INSANE.

SOMEBODY IS CAUGHT WITH A

FEW OUNCES OF MARIJUANA,

COCAINE, AND WHATEVER, AND

WINDS UP 10 YEARS IN

PRISON.

THE WHOLE THING IS CRAZY.

IT NEEDS TO BE REFORMED FROM

TOP TO BOTTOM.

MANY OF THESE CRIMINAL

PENALTIES, ESPECIALLY THOSE

PUT IN PLACE BY FEDERAL

AGENCIES THAT DON'T HAVE A

CONGRESSIONAL STAMP ON

THEM -- THOSE NEED TO BE

CANCELLED BY EXECUTIVE

ORDER.

AND IT NEEDS TO BE DONE

QUICKLY.

WE'RE SPENDING BILLIONS AND

BILLIONS OF DOLLARS ON

PRISONS, ON INCARCERATING

PEOPLE.

AND WHAT IS THE HUMAN TOLL

ON YOUNG PEOPLE, ON

FAMILIES, BECAUSE OF WHAT WE

DO IN RELATION TO CRIMINAL

JUSTICE.

IT IS A DISGRACE.

JOHN?

John: PAT, THE DEATH

TOLL FROM SATURDAY'S

EARTHQUAKE IN NEPAL HAS

PASSED 5,000, AND IT INJURED

MORE THAN 10,000, WHILE

LEAVING THOUSANDS MORE

HOMELESS.

AS GARY LANE REPORTS FROM

KATHMANDU, THE SURVIVORS

DESPERATELY NEED HELP.

Reporter: THE

AFTERSHOCKS FROM SATURDAY'S

EARTHQUAKE HAVE LESSENED.

STILL, MANY PEOPLE REMAIN

OUTDOORS, LIVING UNDER TARPS

AND TENTS, FEARING ANOTHER

BIG QUAKE MAY COME AND

DESTROY THEIR HOMES.

THIS MAN TOLD US HE IS

AFRAID A VOLCANO MAY ERUPT.

LIVING WITHOUT FOOD,

ELECTRICITY, AND WATER,

ANOTHER MAN COMPLAINED ABOUT

THE LACK OF RESPONSE FROM

HIS GOVERNMENT.

THERE IS NO HELP FOR US,

NOTHING.

Reporter: SOME STORES

AND BUSINESSES ARE BEGINNING

TO REOPEN HERE, BUT MANY

PEOPLE HERE ARE CHOOSING TWO

TO LEAVE TOWN.

HERE IN KATHMANDU, A LINE,

NOT BLOCKS LONG, BUT MILES

LONG, AND THOUSANDS OF

PEOPLE WAITING ON BUSES TO

GET OUT OF TOWN.

THEY SAY THEY WANT TO GET

OUT OF KATHMANDU AND BACK TO

THEIR VILLAGES AS SOON AS

POSSIBLE.

THIS MAN SAYS HE IS

RETURNING TO HIS VILLAGE

BECAUSE OF POOR CONDITIONS

IN KATHMANDU.

OTHERS ARE LEAVING TO CHECK

TO SEE IF THEIR FAMILY

MEMBERS ARE OKAY.

AS THE DEATH TOLL CLIMBS,

THOUSANDS OF GRIEVING

SOMALIS ARE TENDING

FUNERALS.

POCKETS OF DESTRUCTION CAN

BE SEEN THROUGHOUT THE CITY,

AND RECOVERY TEAMS FROM

AROUND THE WORLD HAVE COME

TO LEND A HELPING HAND.

BUT THE GREATEST NEED FOR

RECOVERY AND RELIEF IS

OUTSIDE KATHMANDU, IN REMOTE

VILLAGES.

MANY ARE DIFFICULT TO

REACH.

AND BECAUSE MANY OF THE

HOMES ARE MADE FROM STONE

AND MUD, THE DEATH TOLL IS

EXPECTED TO WORSEN.

CBN NEWS MET UP WITH THIS

WOMAN IN NAKUNA.

SHE LIVES ALONE WITH TWO

CHILDREN.

THE EARTHQUAKE DESTROYED HER

HOME AND POSSESSIONS.

HE SAYS, THERE IS A LOT OF

PAIN IN MY HEART.

I'M NOT ABLE TO SPEAK.

I'M NOT ABLE TO THINK OF

WHAT WE'RE GOING TO DO.

AFTER ASSESSING HER NEEDS,

CBN DISASTER RELIEF PLEDGED

TO RETURN TO BRING HER AND

THE OTHER VILLAGERS THE HELP

THEY NEED TO ENDURE THE

UPCOMING MONSOON SEASON AND

TO REBUILD THEIR LIVES.

SHE SAYS SHE JUST WANTS

PEOPLE TO HELP HER.

GARY LANE, CBN NEWS,

KATHMANDU, NEPAL.

John: AND FOR THOSE WHO

WANT TO GET INVOLVED, IT IS

REALLY EASY TO OFFER HELP.

Pat: THEY NEED TARPS,

TENTS, BLANKETS, AND FOAM

PADS FOR SLEEPING, SO

THEY'LL BE ABLE TO SURVIVE

THE COLD THAT IS COMING UP.

WE PROVIDE WATER, BLEECH,

SOAP, HYGIENE SAMPLES AND

TOILETRIES.

AND WE HAVE MEDICAL SUPPLIES

THAT WE MAKE AVAILABLE TO

THEM.

THAT'S CBN DISASTER RELIEF,

AND CBN INTERNATIONAL.

YOU CAN WRITE IN AND SAY,

PLEASE USE THIS FOR THE

DISASTER RELIEF.

CBN INTERNATIONAL DISASTER

RELIEF FUND.

IT IS A TERRIBLE TRAGEDY,

FORMED BY THE FACT THAT THE

EARTH WE STAND ON IS

MOVING.

THE TECTONIC PLATES ARE

MOVING.

WHEN YOU THINK THAT INDIA

USED TO BE PARTS OF AFRICA,

AND IT IS FLOATING UP, AND

IT HIT THE YOU'R EURO

EUROASIAN PLANNED MASSES,

AND PEOPLE HAVE TRIED TO

CLIMB MT. EVEREST, AND THAT

IS GETTING TO BE VERY

DIFFICULT, AND PEOPLE HAVE

LOST THEIR LIVES THERE.

IT IS A TERRIBLE TRAGEDY,

BUT IT JUST HAPPENS BECAUSE

THIS EARTH WE'RE ON IS

MOVING.

Wendy: YOU THINK ABOUT

PEOPLE WHO WERE GETTING

READY TO TRY TO CLIMB MT.

EVEREST, AND THEN THE

AVALANCHE CAME.

THERE IS SO MUCH HEARTBREAK

RIGHT NOW.

Pat: THEY HAD LADDERS,

AND THE LADDERS ARE DOWN AND

ALL OF THE EQUIPMENT IS

DOWN.

Wendy: I'M SO GLAD THAT

CBN IS THERE, "OPERATION

BLESSING," BECAUSE IT IS

STARTING TO GET COLD.

PEOPLE LOOK LIKE IT IS NOT A

WARM CLIMATE.

> COMING UP, SCHOOL IS

OUT, AND NOT JUST FOR THE

SUMMER.

WE KNEW THERE WERE

PROBLEMS.

WE JUST DIDN'T KNOW IT WOULD

BE A CLOSURE, ESPECIALLY ONE

THIS SOON.

Wendy: HEAR WHY

THOUSANDS OF COLLEGES COULD

BE CLOSING THEIR DOORS,

AFTER THIS.

Pat: THERE IS A CRISIS

IN AMERICAN HIGHER

EDUCATION.

AS MANY AS HALF OF ALL OF

THE COLLEGES IN AMERICA MAY

BE OUT OF BUSINESS IN THE

NEXT 20, 30 YEARS.

THEY ARE JUST TOO COSTLY,

AND THERE IS A PROBLEM.

AND WE'LL TELL YOU ABOUT

IT.

YOU COULD BE ONE OF THE

MILLIONS OF AMERICANS WHO

ACTUALLY WENT TO A SMALL

COLLEGE.

BUT NOW MANY OF THOSE

SCHOOLS COULD BE CLOSING

DOWN.

25 HAVE ALREADY CLOSED IN

JUST THE LAST DECADE.

AND THE LATEST IS ONE THAT

IS FABLED HERE IN VIRGINIA.

IT IS CALLED SWEET BRIAR

COLLEGE.

AND THERE IS A FIGHT NOW TO

KEEP IT OPEN, AS ABIGAIL

ROBERTSON REPORTS.

MANY PEOPLE ARE ASKING IF

THESE SCHOOLS ARE WORTH

SAVING.

Pat: IN THE FOOTHILLS

OF THE BLUE RIDGE MOUNTAINS,

LIES SWEET BRIAR COLLEGE, AN

ALL FEMALE, LIBERAL ARTS

SCHOOL, SHUTTING ITS DOORS

DUE TO MONEY PROBLEMS.

SWEET BRIAR HAS EDUCATED

WOMEN FOR 114 YEARS, A

LEGACY THAT WILL END WITH

THE GRADUATING CLASS OF

2015.

THE LAST GRADUATING

CLASS, 2015?

WHAT IS HE SAYING TO US?

WE KNEW THERE WERE

PROBLEMS.

WE JUST DIDN'T KNOW IT WOULD

BE A CLOSURE.

ESPECIALLY ONE THIS SOON.

Reporter: JUNIOR

JESSICA BERRY NOW HAS TO

FIND A NEW SCHOOL TO ATTEND

FOR HER FINAL YEAR OF

COLLEGE.

I DIDN'T BELIEVE IT.

HOW COULD A SCHOOL JUST

CLOSE?

NO ONE IS GIVING US STRAIGHT

ANSWERS.

WE ARE BETRAYED BY THE

PEOPLE WE ARE SUPPOSED TO

PUT OUR TRUST IN.

PARENTS, STUDENT, AND AL

LUM ALUMNI HAVE SENT A

MESSAGE TO THE BOARD, WE

WON'T LET THIS SCHOOL CLOSE

WITHOUT A FIGHTMENT.

> FIGHT.

IT WILL TAKE A COURT

ORDER TO STOP IT, THE

INJUNCTION.

WE NEED TO HAVE THE

INJUNCTION FIRST TO KEEP THE

SCHOOL ALIVE.

Reporter: CLAUDIA CHANG

FEELS IT IS NOT JUST A FIGHT

TO SAVE SWEET BRIAR, BUT A

FIGHT TO SAVE TRADITIONAL

LIBERAL ARTS SCHOOLS.

I DON'T WANT US TO GIVE

IN BECAUSE THERE WILL BE A

PLACE FOR LIBERAL ARTS

SCHOOLS.

Reporter: SOME ARGUE

RADICAL CHANGES MUST BE PUT

INTO PLACE OR THE SCHOOL

WILL SIMPLY FAIL AGAIN.

HIGHER EDUCATION HAS JUST

GOTTEN TOO EXPENSIVE.

THAT'S THE BOTTOM LINE.

Reporter: RESEARCHER

NATHAN HARDEN SAYS HE IS NOT

SURPRISED ABOUT THE CLOSURE,

EVEN WITH THE SCHOOL'S

SEEMINGLY HEALTHY

$94 MILLION ENDOWMENT.

IT HAS ALWAYS BEEN THE

SMALLER, PRIVATE, LIBERAL

ARTS COLLEGES WHO ARE THE

FIRST TO FEEL THE EFFECTS OF

ECONOMIC RECESSION.

Reporter: HARDEN

PREDICTS IN 50 YEARS, THE

U.S. WILL LOSE ROUGHLY HALF

OF ITS 4500 UNIVERSITIES AND

COLLEGES.

SOMETIMES THE DOLLARS AND

CENTS ADDS UP TO IT IS NO

LONGER FEES SABL T FEASIBLE

TO KEEP THE DOORS OPEN.

Reporter OPEN.

PEOPLE NEED LOWER-COST

OPTIONS THAT WILL STILL GIVE

THEM A GREAT EDUCATION.

I WOULD SAY 10 YEARS AGO,

IT WAS CONSIDERED SORT OF

SECOND TIER TO HAVE AN

ONLINE DEGREE TO TAKE SOME

CLASSES ONLINE.

I THINK THAT ATTITUDE IS

CHANGING, WITH EVEN IVY

LEAGUE SCHOOLS OFFER ONLINE

LEARNING AND DEGREE

PROGRAMS.

I THINK THE SCHOOLS THAT

ARE ABLE TO INCORPORATE

THESE COST-SAVING

TECHNOLOGIES, THEY ARE GOING

TO BE THE ONES THAT WILL

SURVIVE.

Reporter: ONE OF THESE

SCHOOLS IS TRINITY

WASHINGTON UNIVERSITY.

ABOUT 20 YEARS AGO, THE

PRESIDENT WAS TOLD TO FIX

THE SCHOOL OR CLOSE IT IS.

IN THE WHOLE, TRINITY HAD

GROWN SO SMALL, AND THE

FULL-TIME DAYTIME STUDENTS

SEEMED TO BE DISAPPEARING.

SO I HAD TO ASK THE

QUESTION: IS THERE A FUTURE

FOR TRINITY?

IS THERE A MARKET WE SHOULD

PAY ATTENTION TO?

OR ARE WE AT THE END OF THE

LINE?

RIOT

Reporter: SHE SAYS

ADJUSTING THE STUDENT BODY,

AND RE-THINKING FINANCIAL

AID HAS HELPED THEM GROW TO

MORE THAN 2,000 STUDENTS

TODAY.

WE HAD TO MOVE AWAY FROM

JUST BEING A LIBERAL ARTS

COLLEGE AND BECOMING A

COLLEGE THAT IS DIVERS

DIVERSIFIED.

THE OLDER MODELS DON'T

WORK.

WHETHER IN TRINITY OR A

LARGER UNIVERSITY, WE ARE

ALL FEELING THE STRESS AND

THE CHALLENGE OF NEEDING TO

CHANGE.

WE DID IT, AND WE LOVE WHAT

WE DO AND WE'RE VERY

SUCCESSFUL AT IT.

I THINK WE'RE A GOOD MODEL

FOR THE FUTURE.

Reporter: WHILE THIS

ACTION MAY NOT FIT THE

TRADITION AT SWEET BRIAR,

TRINITY PROVES THAT THEIR

INNOVATION AND TOUGH

CHOICES, THAT EVEN SMALL

SCHOOLS CAN SURVIVE IN THE

CHANGING LANDSCAPE OF HIGHER

EDUCATION.

ABIGAIL ROBERTSON, CBN

NEWS.

Wendy: THAT'S A GREAT

STORY.

Pat: IT'S A GREAT

STORY.

MY DAUGHTER-IN-LAW WENT TO

SWEET BRIAR, AND THAT'S ONE

OF THE BEST THINGS I DID.

I WENT TO SPEAK AT SWEET

BRIAR AND I GOT MYSELF A

GRANDDAUGHTER -- I MEAN A

DAUGHTER AND A WHOLE BUNCH

OF GRANDCHILDREN, AND IT HAS

BEEN A VERY WONDERFUL

THING.

SWEET BRIAR IS A GORGEOUS

SCHOOL.

THE FACILITY IS MONTHS AGO

MAGNIFICENT.

BUT THEY'VE GOT MAYBE 700,

800 STUDENTS AND THEY CAN'T

SURVIVE.

Wendy: IT IS

HEARTBREAKING FOR THOSE

STUDENTS.

THEY DIDN'T KNOW IT WAS

COMING.

Pat: THEY'VE GOT MAYBE

$80 MILLION IN ENDOWMENT,

BUT APPARENTLY THEY CAN'T

GET TO IT.

THEY WOULD BURN THROUGH THAT

IN A HURRY.

I KNOW WITH REGENT, WE HAVE

COMPLETELY OVERHAULED IT TO

MAKE IT ACCOMMODATING TO

ONLINE STUDENTS.

AND NOW REGENT IS OFFERING,

WELL, UP TO 80 DIFFERENT

COURSE SCHEDULES.

WE'VE GOT SCIENCE COURSES

AND COMPUTER COURSES, AND

CYBER-SECURITY COURSES, AND

ALL OF THESE THINGS TO MEET

THE DEMAND.

YOU'VE GOT TO LOOK AFTER

PEOPLE, AND WE'RE DOING IT.

BUT THOSE THAT AREN'T DOING

IT ARE GOING OUT OF

BUSINESS, AND IT'S A SHAME.

Wendy: WELL, UP NEXT,

THE BIRTH OF A CITY ON A

HILL THAT BECAME A NATION

LIGHTING THE WORLD.

THEY SAID, WE HAVE COME

HERE, FIRST OF ALL, FOR THE

GLORY OF GOD.

SECONDLY, FOR THE

ADVANCEMENT OF THE CHRISTIAN

FAITH.

Wendy: HEAR A VERSION

OF AMERICA'S FIRST DAYS THAT

YOU WON'T FIND IN THE

HISTORY BOOKS.

Pat: TODAY IS A VERY,

VERY SPECIAL DAY.

WE MAKE A BIG THING ABOUT IT

BECAUSE IT HAPPENED RIGHT

HERE IN THE CITY OF VIRGINIA

BEACH.

ACT ONE, SCENE ONE, BECAME

THE UNFOLDING DRAMA THAT WAS

THE UNITED STATES OF

AMERICA.

ON APRIL 29th, 1607,

ENGLISH SETTLERS LANDED AT A

PLACE CALLED CAPE HENRY,

RIGHT HERE IN VIRGINIA

BEACH.

THOSE BRAVE MEN AND WOMEN

PLANTED A WOODEN CROSS ON

THE SHORES AND CLAIMED THE

LAND IN THEIR OWN

WORDS, QUOTE,"FOR THE GLORY

OF THE LORD JESUS CHRIST."

LET'S LOOK BACK AT THAT

HISTORIC DAY AND SEE WHY IT

IS SO IMPORTANT FOR US IN

AMERICA TODAY.

Reporter: APRIL 29,

1607, A NATION WAS BORN.

TRAVEL WEARY ENGLISHMEN

LANDED AT CAPE HENRY ON THE

SHORE OF VIRGINIA, AND LAID

A FOUNDATION FOR WHAT WOULD

BECOME THE MOST POWERFUL

COUNTRY THE WORLD HAS EVER

SEEN.

ACT ONE, SCENE ONE, OF THE

DRAMA THAT WAS TO BE THE

UNITED STATES UNFOLDED THAT

DAY AT CAPE HENRY AND

SPARKED THE LEGACY OF

GODLINESS ON AMERICAN

SHORES.

ALMIGHTY GOD, BY YOUR

GREAT MERCY WE HAVE REACHED

THIS LAND, WHICH WE NOW

CLAIM AND ESTABLISH FOR THY

ETERNAL PURPOSES.

WE ASK THEE TO OPEN HEARTS

AND ENLIGHTEN THE

UNDERSTANDING OF THE PEOPLE

OF THESE SHORES TO

COMPREHEND THE GLORIOUS

GOSPEL OF JESUS CHRIST.

Reporter: AMERICA'S

DESTINY AND PURPOSE WERE

SEALED WITH THAT CROSS AT

CAPE HENRY.

ALL THAT WOULD FOLLOW IN OUR

NATION'S GROWTH HINGED ON

THE SINGLE PROCLAMATION THAT

THIS LAND BELONGED TO JESUS

CHRIST.

IN THE MAYFLOWER COMPACT OF

1620, THE PILGRIMS

REAFFIRMED THE MISSION BY

THE ORIGINAL SETTLERS.

THEY SAID, WE HAVE COME

HERE, FIRST OF ALL, FOR THE

GLORY OF GOD.

SECONDLY, FOR THE

ADVANCEMENT OF THE CHRISTIAN

FAITH.

WE COULD SAY THEY WERE

MISSIONARIES.

THEY WEREN'T JUST RUNNING

FROM SOMETHING.

THERE WAS A VISION PULLING

THEM FORWARD TO ADVANCE THE

CHRISTIAN FAITH IN THIS NEW

WORLD.

Reporter: LATER THE

PURITANS CARRIED IT

FURTHER.

ON THE DECK OF THE ARBELLA,

HALF WAY BETWEEN ENGLAND AND

CAPE COD, THEY DECLARED, WE

SHALL BE A CITY ON A HILL,

THE EYES UPON ALL PEOPLE ARE

UPON US.

SO IF WE DEAL FALSELY WITH

OUR GOD AND SO CAUSE HIM TO

WITHDRAW THIS PRESENT HELP

FROM US, WE SHALL BE MADE A

STORY AND A BY WORD

THROUGHOUT THE WORLD.

THEY WERE GOING TO

AMERICA TO LIVE OUT A NEW

KIND OF GOVERNMENT AND

CHRISTIANITY, WHERE PEOPLE

GOVERNED THEMSELVES.

THEY WOULD DEPEND PRIMARILY

ON GOVERNING THEMSELVES

ACCORDING TO CHRISTIAN

PRINCIPLES.

WE ASK NOW THAT YOUR

KINGDOM COME TO EARTH, AND

YOUR WILL BE DONE AS IT IS

IN HEAVEN.

AND TO THAT END, WE CLAIM

THIS LAND FOR THAT GREAT

PURPOSE.

AMEN.

AMEN.

Reporter: MORE THAN 100

YEARS LATER, AS AMERICA HAS

SET OFF ON HER OWN COURSE

TOWARDS INDEPENDENCE, THE

GODLY FOUNDATIONS LAID IN

VIRGINIA ESTABLISHED THE

CHARACTER OF OUR

REVOLUTION.

JOHN ADAMS BOLDLY

PROCLAIMED...

BEFORE GOD, I BELIEVE THE

HOUR HAS COME.

MY JUDGMENT A APPROVES THIS

MEASURE AND MY WHOLE HEART

IS IN IT.

ALL THAT I HAVE, ALL THAT I

AM, AND ALL THAT I HOPE, IN

THIS LIFE I AM NOW READY TO

STAKE UPON IT.

THAT I LEAVE OFF, LIVE OR

DIE, SURVIVE OR PERISH, I AM

FOR THE DECLARATION.

IT IS MY LIVING SENTIMENT,

AND BY THE BLESSING OF GOD,

IT SHALL BE MY DYING

SENTIMENT.

INDEPENDENCE NOW AND

INDEPENDENCE FOREVER.

Reporter: GEORGE

WASHINGTON'S PURE CHRISTIAN

HEART, BEN FRANKLIN'S CALL

TO PRAYER, AND JOHN ADAMS

REFERENCE FOR THE WILL OF

GOD SYMBOLIZE THE UNDYING

COMMITMENT OF OUR FOUNDING

FATHERS TO THE CREATION OF A

NATION WHICH WOULD GLORIFY

GOD.

THE AMERICAN CHARACTER WAS

BORN IN SCRIPTURE AND

NURTURED BY THE HOLY

SPIRIT.

AND YET TODAY OUR NATIONAL

HERITAGE IS UNDER SIEGE.

THE MOMENT THAT RELIGION

LOSES ITS INFLUENCE OVER OUR

HEARTS, FROM THAT FATEFUL

MOMENT, FAREWELL TO PUBLIC

AND PRIVATE HAPPINESS.

FAREWELL, A LONG FAREWELL,

TO VIRTUE, TO LIBERTY.

BISHOP JAMES MADISON, 1795.

Reporter: MORE THAN 400

YEARS HAVE PASSED SINCE

AMERICA WAS FIRST CONCEIVED

AT CAPE HENRY, AND RESPECT

FOR OUR ROOTS IS GROWING

COLD.

YET ONE UNDENIABLE FACT

STILL REMAINS: AT ITS CORE,

THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA

IS A CHRISTIAN NATION.

Pat: THOSE WORDS, WE

BETTER HEED, LADIES AND

GENTLEMEN, ON THIS SPECIAL

ANNIVERSARY.

WHEN WE LOSE RELIGION,

FAREWELL TO VIRTUE, FAREWELL

TO LIBERTY, AND FAREWELL TO

THE THINGS WE LOVE.

ISN'T THAT WHAT IS HAPPENING

IN BALTIMORE, OTHER CITIES,

FERGUSON, AND OTHERS, AND

NOW WE HAVE THE SUPREME

COURT DECIDING IF THEY'RE

GOING TO BRING IN SODOMY AND

PUT IT IN THE CONSTITUTION.

WE HAVE BROUGHT IN THE

MURDER OF UNBORN CHILDREN

AND PUT THAT IN THE

CONSTITUTION.

WE HAVE BROUGHT IN EVERY

KIND OF HEINOUS PRACTICE AND

ENFORCED IT IN THE

CONSTITUTION AT THE HIGHEST

LEVELS OF OUR LAND.

AND SOONER OR LATER, A HOLY

GOD IS GOING TO SAY, I'VE

HAD ENOUGH WITH YOU.

MY HANDS ARE GOING TO BE

TAKEN OFF YOUR NATION.

BUT RIGHT NOW THE HAND OF

GOD IS UPON US FOR

BLESSING.

WE HAVE BEEN BLESSED BEYOND

ANY NATION ON EARTH.

THERE IS A FREEDOM WE HAVE

IN AMERICA THAT NO OTHER

NATION IN AMERICA HAS

ENJOYED.

WE HAVE RICHES.

WE HAVE UNTOLD

OPPORTUNITIES.

THERE HAS NEVER BEEN A

COUNTRY LIKE AMERICA.

WHY?

BECAUSE IT IS FOUNDED ON THE

WORD OF GOD.

AND NOW PEOPLE MOCK THE WORD

OF GOD, AND THOSE WHO

PROCLAIM IT ARE LAUGHED AT

AS FUNDAMENTALISTS.

WE NEED THE FUNDAMENTALS

BECAUSE IF WE DON'T HAVE

THEM, THIS NATION IS

DOOMED.

IT'S APRIL 29th, AND WE'RE

ABOUT 408 YEARS AWAY FROM

THAT GREAT LANDING AT CAPE

HENRY.

IT IS ABOUT 12 MILES FROM

WHERE WE'RE STANDING RIGHT

NOW.

AND WHEN WE WERE DOWN THERE,

AT THAT PLACE, THERE WAS A

CROSS THAT WE BROUGHT UP

FROM A BOAT THAT CAME INTO

THE HARBOR, AND WE LAID OUR

HANDS ON THAT CROSS.

AND THE POWER OF GOD CAME

UPON ME IN A WAY I'VE NEVER

KNOWN IN MY LIFE.

AND GOD WAS SAYING, THIS

BLESSING IS GOING TO BE

TRANSFERRED.

AND WE BROUGHT THAT CROSS

FROM DOWN AT CAPE HENRY AND

PUT IT UP RIGHT HERE, WHERE

WE'RE STANDING.

AND WE WANT TO PRAY AT THIS

MOMENT FOR OUR NATION.

LISTEN, GOD HASN'T FINISHED

WITH AMERICA YET.

THERE IS A CHANCE OF A GREAT

REVIVAL TAKING PLACE.

BUT WE MUST PRAY AND WE MUST

HOLD FAST AND WE MUST

PROCLAIM WHAT THE SOURCE OF

OUR LIBERTY IS.

SO WENDY IS HERE WITH ME.

AND WE'RE GOING@ TO KNEEL@

RIGHT NOW, AND I'M GOING TOdT

ASK YOU TO PRAY WITH US AS

WE PRAY HERE ON THIS SPECIAL

DAY OF THE ANNIVERSARY OF

THE LANDING AND THE FIRST

PRAYER MEETING AT CAPE

HENRY.

Wendy: GOD HAS NOT

FORGOTTEN US OR THE EARLY

PRAYERS FROMTHOSE

SETTLERS.

Pat: HE CERTAINLY HAS

NOT.

THERE WAS A COVENANT MADE

WITH GOD AND HE REMEMBERS

THAT COVENANT.

FATHER, WE PRAY RIGHT NOW.

WE PRAY FOR THIS GREAT

NATION.

AND, LORD, WE TESTIFY THAT

YOU HAVE PLACED THIS NATION

IN THE MIDST OF THE OCEANS

AS THE GREATEST NATION ON

THE FACE OF THE EARTH.

AND, YES, WE'VE HAD OUR

TROUBLES AND WE'VE HAD

THINGS WE'VE DONE THAT WERE

NOT RIGHTEOUS, BUT, O GOD,

AT THE HEART OF THIS NATION,

WE'RE A NATION OF PEOPLE WHO

LOVE YOU AND WANT TO LIVE BY

YOUR WORD.

SO SEND REVIVAL TO AMERICA,

LORD.

COME NOW AND RENEW THAT

COVENANT.

RENEW IN OUR HEARTS AND

MINDS AS THE PEOPLE OF

AMERICA, THE EARLY

SENTIMENTS OF THOSE FIRST

PIONEERS WHO CAME TO THIS

LAND TO CREATE A NATION THAT

WAS GIVEN FOR THE GLORY OF

GOD ALMIGHTY.

I JOIN WITH WENDY, AND WE

JOIN WITH PEOPLE ALL ACROSS

AMERICA.

AND WE ASK, LORD, THAT YOU

WOULD HEAR, THAT YOU WOULD

ACT, AND THAT YOU WOULD DO

MIRACLES.

THANK YOU, LORD.

WE DEDICATE AGAIN THIS GREAT

NATION TO ITS FOUNDING

PURPOSE AND TO ITS LOVE OF

THE LORD JESUS CHRIST.

THANK YOU, LORD.

Wendy: THANK YOU,

LORD.

Pat: AMEN.

Wendy: AMEN.

Pat:AND AMEN.

PRAISEGOD.

Wendy: PRAISEHIM.

WELL, STILL AHEAD, A CHILD

IS SWEPT AWAY BY AN ICY

STREAM AND IS FOUND WITH NO

HEARTBEAT AND NOT

BREATHING.

I SAID TO SOMEONE THAT

NIGHT, AFTER WE WALKED AWAY,

IF HE LIVES, IT WILL BE

NOTHING SHORT OF A MIRACLE.

Wendy: WATCH THE LITTLE

BOY GET THAT MIRACLE, LATER

ON TODAY'S SHOW.

Efrem: WELCOME BACK TO

WASHINGTON FOR THIS CBN

NEWSBREAK.

NIGERIA'S MILITARY SAYS IT

HAS RESCUED NEARLY 300 GIRLS

AND WOMEN FROM BOKO HARAM,

INCLUDING 200 GIRLS AND 93

WOMEN.

BUT NONE OF THEM ARE FROM

THE NEARLY 300 SCHOOL GIRLS

KIDNAPPED FROM CHIBOK IN THE

NORTHEAST ONE YEAR AGO.

DOZENS ESCAPED ON THEIR OWN,

BUT 219 ARE STILL MISSING.

A LEGAL VICTORY FOR A

CHRISTIAN-OWNED BUSINESS IN

KENTUCKY.

"HANDS ON ORIGINAL" PRINTING

CAME UNDER FIRE AFTER THEY

DIDN'T PRINT SHIRTS FOR A

Wendy: EVERY DAY THE

THERE IS STILL PLENTY OF

Pat: WELL, WE'RE GOING

TO SHOW YOU AN AMAZING

ANSWER TO PRAYER.

IT HAPPENED JUST A FEW WEEKS

AGO IN PENNSYLVANIA.

AFTER A YOUNG BOY FELL INTO

AN ICY STREAM.

HE WAS FOUND COLD, FROZEN,

AND FOR ALL INTENTS AND

PURPOSES, HE WAS DEAD.

Reporter: MARCH 11,

2015, A DAY ROSE MARTIN

REMEMBERS WELL.

THREE OF HER SONS WERE

PLAYING BY THE STREAM THAT

RUNS THROUGH THE BACKYARD OF

THEIR PENNSYLVANIA HOME.

IT WAS ONE OF THE FIRST

WARM DAYS, AND OBVIOUSLY THE

CHILDREN WERE SO ANXIOUS TO

BE OUTSIDE.

I HAD SUPPER ON, AND I WAS

READY TO CALL THEM IN FOR

SUPPER, ACTUALLY.

I HEARD THIS BLOOD-CURDLING

SCREAM.

Reporter: IT CAME FROM

HER SON, GREG.

2-YEAR-OLD GUARDELLE WAS

MISSING.

THEY DIDN'T REALIZE HE HAD

FALLEN INTO THE ICY STREAM

THAT HAD BECOME SWOLLEN FROM

THE WINTER THAW.

AFTER ROSE AND HER SIX OTHER

CHILDREN SEARCHED EVERY INCH

OF THE PROPERTY, SHE CALLED

9-1-1.

AND SHE ALSO CALLED HER

HUSBAND, DOYLE, A TRUCK

DRIVER WHO WAS THREE HOURS

AWAY.

WE KNEW THERE WAS NOTHING

MORE WE COULD DO.

I KNEW THERE WAS HELP ON THE

WAY.

THE CHILDREN WERE JUST

CRYING.

AND I JUST GATHERED THE

CHILDREN AROUND ME AND WE

JUST PRAYED THAT GOD WOULD

HELP US BE CALM AND SOMEONE

COULD FIND GUARDELLE.

Reporter: THAT SOMEBODY

WAS A NEIGHBOR WHO HAD

JOINED THE SEARCH.

HE FOUND HIM FARTHER

DOWNSTREAM, TRAPPED IN A

FENCE LINE.

HE CARRIED THE TODDLER'S

LIFELESS BODY TO THE ROAD AS

E.M.T. ARRIVED.

AFTER DOING SOME PRETTY

QUICK ASSESSMENT, I REALIZED

HE WAS IN CARDIAC ARREST AND

JUST IMMEDIATELY STARTED

C.P.R.

AT THAT POINT, I REALLY

DIDN'T SEE A DEAD

2-YEAR-OLD.

I SAW LIFE IN HIS LITTLE

EYES.

Reporter: EVEN THEN, HE

KNEW IT WAS A RACE AGAINST

THE CLOCK.

GUARDELLE WAS TAKEN TO A

HOSPITAL IN NEARBY

LEWISBERG.

THEY ATTEMPTED TO WARM THE

BOY'S BODY.

PRETTY GRIM.

THERE ARE CASES WE ALL READ

ABOUT IN MEDICAL SCHOOL AND

IN TRAINING, A SEVERE

HYPOTHERMIC PATIENT

SURVIVORS, BUT IT IS STILL

RARE.

Reporter: ON THE WAY

THERE, ROSE LEARNED THAT HE

HAD TO BE LIFE-FLIGHTED TO

ANOTHER HOSPITAL.

I HEARD AGAIN, AGAIN, GOD

WAS SAYING, GIVE HIM OVER TO

ME.

WHEN IT CAME DOWN TO IT, I

HAD NO OTHER CHOICE.

IT WAS OUT OF MY CONTROL.

Reporter: WAITING FOR

LIFE FLIGHT WERE THESE TWO

MEN WHO RESPONDED TO THE

EMERGENCY CALL.

I SAID, IF HE LIVES, IT

WILL BE NOTHING SHORT OF A

MIRACLE.

Reporter: THE STAFF

CONTINUED WITH C.P.R.

BY NOW IT HAS BEEN OVER AN

HOUR SINCE GUARDELLE HAD A

PULSE, AND THE DOCTOR WAS

HAVING DIFFICULTY STARTING

AN I.V.

THEY WERE DOING SUCH AN

EFFECTIVE C.P.R., IT WAS

BOUNCING GUARDELLE AROUND TO

MAKE SURE THAT THE HEART WAS

BEING COMPRESSED.

I HAD TO HAVE THEM STOP

BRIEFLY A COUPLE OF TIMES TO

ALLOW ME TO GET THAT NEEDLE

IN.

Reporter: THERE WAS

ANOTHER CONCERN, HIS BLOOD

HAD BECOME ACIDIC, A CLEAR

INDICATION OF OXYGEN DEP

PIRATION.

DEPRIVATION.

IT ALARMED DR. FAYE.

IT WAS THE LOWEST I HAD

EVER SEEN.

I REMEMBER SAYING IT WAS A

6.5, AND WE'RE IN A TOUGH

SPOT HERE.

Reporter: ALL THIS

TIME, THE MARTIN'S CHURCH

HAD BEEN PRAYING AND OTHER

CHURCHES HAD JOINED THEM.

NOW EN ROUTE TO THE

HOSPITAL, ROSE HAD RECEIVED

NO WORD ON GUARDELLE'S

CONDITION.

THERE ARE A LOT OF THINGS

THAT GO THROUGH YOUR MIND.

YOU WONDER IF YOUR LIFE WILL

EVER GO BACK TO NORMAL.

YOU KNOW, YOU ALWAYS REALIZE

THAT ARE PEOPLE THAT DO LOSE

THEIR CHILDREN, AND IT'S A

REALITY, BUT IT'S ALWAYS

SOMEONE ELSE.

Reporter: WHEN ROSE

ARRIVED,SHE LEARNED

GUARDELLE HAD NOT RESPONDED

TO TREATMENT, AND HAD BEEN

TAKEN TO SURGERY FOR A

CARDIO PULMONARY BYPASS.

IT WAS HIS LAST HOPE.

AS THE SURGEON WAS ABOUT TO

BEGIN, DOCTORS FAYE AND

LAMBERT SAID, WAIT.

WE WERE SCRUBBED AND

READY TO CANULATE FOR THAT

PROCEDURE, AND WE DID A LAST

PULSE CHECK.

Reporter: THE TEAM

STOPPED C.P.R.

ULTIMATELY, NOT ONLY DID

WE GET A PULSE, BUT WE GOT A

PULSE THAT REALLY WAS

INDICATIVE OF A HEART THAT

WAS RECOVERING.

Reporter: IT WAS A GOOD

SIGN.

GUARDELLE HAD BEEN WITHOUT A

PULSE FOR AN HOUR AND 41

MINUTES, AND DOCTORS WERE

VERY CONCERNED ABOUT BRAIN

DAMAGE.

AND THEN GUARDELLE SHOWED

THEM THAT THERE WAS HOPE.

THERE WAS LIFE IN HIS

EYES, AND WE JUST CLUNG TO

THAT HOPE.

Reporter: WITH EACH

PASSING HOUR, GUARDELLE

IMPROVED MORE QUICKLY THAN

DOCTORS COULD HAVE HOPED

FOR.

HIS RATE OF RECOVERY, I

THINK WAS STUNNING.

Reporter: TWO DAYS

LATER, HE WENT HOME.

WE WENT SORT OF FROM

SHOCK AND SUSPENCE TO ALMOST

A HIGH, LIKE, THIS IS JUST

UNREAL.

Reporter: IT'S BEEN SIX

WEEKS SINCE GUARDELLE'S

BRUSH WITH DEATH, AND HE HAS

RETURNED TO HIS BIG BACKYARD

AND PLAYING WITH HIS

BROTHERS AND SISTERS.

MOST LIKELY HE WON'T

REMEMBER, BUT OTHERS WILL.

WHEN I THINK ABOUT GOD'S

PRESENCE IN THIS, IT IS HARD

FOR ME TO RECONCILE THAT,

THAT IT ALL HAPPENED BY

CHANCE.

HE WAS DEAD FOR AN HOUR

AND 41 MINUTES.

BY ALL OF THE MEASURES THAT

WE MEASURE LIFE.

SO FOR HIM TO ULTIMATELY

SURVIVE NEUROLOGICALLY

INTACT, YOU HAVE TO GIVE

SOME CREDIT TO SOME DIVINE

INTERVENTION, YOU REALLY

HAVE TO.

JUST REALIZE THE POWER OF

GOD.

WE JUST HAD NO QUESTIONS

THAT IT WAS AN ANSWER TO

PRAYER.

Pat: THE POWER OF GOD

RAISED HIM FROM THE DEAD.

IT'S MARVELOUS.

WHY IS THAT THOUGHT

STRANGE?

GOD RAISED JESUS FROM THE

DEAD.

JESUS RAISED MANY OTHERS

FROM THE DEAD, AND NOW HE IS

RAISING HIS PEOPLE FROM THE

DEAD.

AND THAT'S WHAT HAPPENED TO

GUARDELLE.

WHAT A WONDERFUL STORY.

> WE'VE GOT SOME PRAYER

REQUESTS, THOUSANDS AND

THOUSANDS HAVE BEEN COMING

IN DURING THIS WEEK OF

PRAYER.

AND THEY'RE HERE, OF COURSE,

AT THE TABLE RIGHT IN FRONT

OF US.

SOMEBODY SAID, THERE IS A

MASS ON MY PANCREAS.

ONE SAYS, I WANT SAFETY AND

PROTECTION FOR ISRAEL AND

THE UNITED STATES.

AND SOMEBODY SAYS, HEALING

FROM A MELANOMA.

Wendy: THIS PERSON

NEEDS HEALING FROM AFIB, AND

THIS PERSON WANTS TO BE

HEALED OF DEPRESSION,

ANXIETY, AND LEARNING

DISABILITIES.

THIS PERSON WANTS

DELIVERANCE OF A GRANDSON

FROM DRUGS AND ALCOHOL.

Pat: FOLKS, IT IS A

SPECIAL DAY FOR AMERICA.

LET'S GIVE THANKS TO GOD FOR

WHAT HE HAS DONE.

YOU KNOW, IT HAS BEEN SAID

THAT WE WON THE OVARIAN

LOTTERY BY BEING BORN IN

AMERICA.

WHAT A BLESSING TO BE HERE.

AND I WANT TO MAGNIFY THE

BLESSING THAT GOD HAS GIVEN

US, LET HIM KNOW WE'RE

THANKFUL.

SO WENDY AND I ARE GOING TO

JOIN HANDS.

FATHER, IN JESUS' NAME, I

JOIN WITH MY SISTER IN

CHRIST.

AND WE PRAY TOGETHER, MAY

THE POWER OF THE HOLY SPIRIT

COME DOWN.

BUT AS WE'VE SAID BEFORE,

WHEN WE WERE OUT BY THE

CROSS, SEND REVIVAL TO

AMERICA, LORD.

SEND REVIVAL HERE.

SEND REVIVAL THROUGHOUT

EVERY PLACE THIS BROADCAST

GOES.

TOUCH LIVES.

LORD, FROM NEW YORK TO

HOLLYWOOD AND ALL OF THE

COUNTRIES AND COUNTIES AND

STATES IN BETWEEN, IN THE

NAME OF JESUS, DO MIRACLES.

NOW, LORD, PEOPLE HAVE

WRITTEN IN, CALLED IN, AND

ADD PRAY FOR US.

AND SO WE PRAY FOR THEM

RIGHT NOW.

THEY HAVE PHYSICAL NEEDS.

THEY HAVE FINANCIAL NEEDS.

THEY HAVE OTHER NEEDS THAT

THEY'VE EXPRESSED.

GIVE THEM ANSWERS TO THEIR

PRAYER, WE PRAY, LORD, IN

JESUS' NAME.

WENDY?

Wendy: YES, LORD, WE

JUST THANK YOU.

RIGHT NOW EVERY PERSON WHO

HAS WRITTEN IN AND PUT THEIR

PRAYER ON THESE PIECES OF

PAPER, LORD, YOU KNOW THEM

INTIMATELY, AND YOU'RE

SAYING, YES, I'VE HEARD YOUR

PRAYER TODAY.

IT IS DONE IN JESUS' NAME.

THANK YOU, GOD.

THANK YOU FOR HEARING US.

Pat: SOMEBODY DOES HAVE

A MASS ON THEIR PANCREAS,

AND RIGHT NOW YOU'LL FEEL A

FIRE IN THAT PART OF YOUR

BODY AND THAT MASS IS

DISAPPEARING IN JESUS'

NAME.

THANK YOU, LORD.

Wendy: THANK YOU, GOD.

Pat: LET GOD CONTINUE

TO BLESS THIS BROADCAST,

THAT WE MIGHT SERVE YOU IN

JESUS' NAME.

AMEN.

AND AMEN.

Wendy: AMEN.

> ALL RIGHT, BEING A

QUARTERBACK IN THE NFL,

YEAH, THAT'S TOUGH.

YOU HAVE TO BE ABLE TO THROW

A FOOTBALL AND HIT A TARGET

ON THE RUN 50 OR 60 YARDS

AWAY.

AND YOU HAVE TO MAKE

SPLIT-SECOND DECISIONS WHILE

300-POUND LINE MEN ARE

TRYING TO BURY YOUR FACE IN

THE TURF.

IT IS NO WONDER THAT THE

QUARTERBACK POSITION IS ONE

OF THE HARDEST IN PRO

SPORTS.

AND AS JEFF KEMP EXPLAINS,

IT IS WHAT PREPARED HIM FOR

THE TRIAL OF LIFE.

Reporter: FOOTBALL HAS

ALWAYS BEEN A BIG PART OF

THE KEMP FAMILY.

JEFF AND HIS FATHER, JACK,

WERE THE FIRST OF SIX

FATHER-SON QUARTERBACKS.

THEN IN 1992, AFTER 11

SEASONS AND FOUR TEAMS,

JEFF'S CAREER FINALLY

ENDED.

HE SHARES THREE THINGS HE

LEARNED ABOUT BOUNCING UP,

NOT BACK, FROM LIFE'S

CHALLENGES.

Wendy: AND JEFF IS

LITERALLY JUST HERE.

GOOD TO MEET YOU.

GOOD TO MEET YOU.

Wendy: WELCOME TO "THE

700 CLUB."

THANK YOU.

Wendy: BEFORE WE GET

INTO YOUR AMAZING BOOK,

LET'S TALK ABOUT YOUR DAD,

JACK.

HE WAS A RENAISSANCE MAN, A

FOOTBALL LEGEND, OF COURSE,

AND LATER RAN AS VICE

PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE.

I ALWAYS REMEMBER THAT RASPY

VOICE.

DID HE ALWAYS HAVE THAT?

HE DID.

MY WIFE HAS BEEN ALWAYS

HOPING SOME OF OUR BOYS

WOULD HAVE IT.

WERP

Wendy: WHAT ARE SOME OF

THE THINGS THAT YOUR DAD

TAUGHT YOU?

MY MOM AND DAD WERE JUST

TRYING TO MAKE IT IN THE

NFL, AND HE GOT CUT AND

TRADED AND HE COULDN'T

STICK, BUT FINALLY HAD HIS

JOB WITH THE SAN DIEGO

CHARGERS, BUT THEN HE GOT

SOLD TO THE BUFFALO BILLS

FOR $100.

BUT MY MOM AND HIS MOM BOTH

REMINDED HIM GOD DOESN'T

CLOSE DOORS WITHOUT OPENING

NEW ONES.

GO TO BUFFALO AND SEE WHAT

HAPPENS.

SO HE DID AND IT TURNED INTO

A GREAT CHAPTER.

HE WON TWO CHAMPIONSHIPS

THERE AND MADE GOOD FRIENDS,

AND LEARNED ABOUT THE

HARD-WORKING, BLUE COLLAR

PEOPLE OF BUFFALO.

AND IT LED TO RUNNING FOR

CONGRESS.

SO IT IS A BLITZ THAT TURNED

INTO A BLESSING.

THAT'S THE NATURE OF THIS

BOOK.

Wendy: FOR SOME FOLKS,

HE IS KNOWN MORE FOR HIS

POLITICAL EXPERIENCE THUNDER

THAN HIS FOOTBALL

EXPERIENCE.

REALLY, HE WAS.

BECAUSE HE SERVED IN

CONGRESS FOR 18 YEARS.

AND HE CARED A WHOLE BUNCH

ABOUT HOW DO WITH BRING FREE

ENTERPRISE AND CAPITALISM TO

THOSE WHO ARE POOR.

MY DAD MADE A HUGE MARK ON

THE NATION, AND A HUGE MARK

ON ME.

BECAUSE I REALLY WASN'T A

STAR QUARTERBACK THROUGH

MOST OF MY LIFE.

HE WAS THAT VOICE THAT SAID,

HEY, HANG IN THERE.

YOU LOOK GREAT TODAY.

DAD, I DIDN'T EVEN GET IN

THE GAME?

I SAW YOU WARMING UP, IT'S

AWESOME.

Wendy: HE PASSED AWAY A

FEW YEARS AGO.

YOU HAD A SPECIAL MOMENT

BEFORE HE DIED.

TELL US ABOUT THAT.

HE HAD MELANOMA CANCER

AND FOR A FEW MONTHS, MY

MOTHER AND SISTER AND I WERE

ABLE TO BE WITH HIM IN A

VERY INTIMATE WAY.

HE WAS ON HIS BED, AND I

ASKED HIM TO PRAY FOR ME.

I READ PSALM 16 TO HIM, AND

HE PRAYED FOR ME, AND PUT

HIS HAND ON ME AS I LAID ON

HIS BED.

AND HE PRAYED, GOD, HELP

JEFF TO REMEMBER HIS TALENT,

AND HELP US BOTH REMEMBER

THAT THE ONLY THING THAT

MATTERS IS THY WILL BE

DONE.

AND RIGHT THERE MY DAD

BLESSED ME IN A WAY WE ALL

NEED TO BLESS OR SONS AND

DAUGHTERS.

HE CONFIRMED MY IDENTITY,

AND HE REMINDED ME OF MY

MISSION, TO MAKE THE WORLD A

BETTER PLACE, AND FINALLY IT

IS GOD'S WILL THAT WE WANT

DONE, NOT OUR OWN

SMALL-MINDED VERSION OF

LIFE.

GOD'S WAYS ARE MUCH BETTER.

Wendy: IF MORE DADS DID

THAT FOR THEIR SONS AND

DAUGHTERS, I THINK WE WOULD

BE LIVING IN A BETTER

WORLD.

WE WOULD.

Wendy: YOU'VE WRITTEN A

GREAT BOOK CALLED "FACING

THE BLITZ."

FOR US NON-SPORTS JUNKIES,

WHAT'S A BLITZ.

I THOUGHT THE NFL HAS

BEEN ADVERTISING AND SHOWING

THEIR GAME TO EVERYONE THESE

DAYS.

A BLITZ IS WHEN THE DEFENSE

IS PUTTING MORE THAN THREE

OR FOUR BIG GUYS CHASING THE

QUARTERBACK AND ATTACKING.

THEY SEND A COUPLE OF

LINEBACKERS, AND SO IT IS AN

ALL-OUT ATTACK AGAINST THE

OFFENSE.

IN THAT MOMENT IT IS THE

MOST DANGEROUS, BUT IT IS

ALSO THE GREATEST

OPPORTUNITIES.

AND SOME OF THE GREATEST

TOUCHDOWNS ARE SCORED ON THE

BLITZ, EVEN IF THE

QUARTERBACK ENDS UP ON HIS

BACK.

Wendy: A BLITZ IS AN

ALL-OUT ATTACK, SO HOW COULD

IT BE A GOOD THING?

IT CREATES A

VULNERABILITY IN THE

DEFENSE.

THAT ALLOWS YOU TO RUN A

PLAY THAT GETS THROUGH THE

DEFENSE.

IN LIFE, OUR PROBLEMS ARE

ACTUALLY OPPORTUNITIES TO

TURN TO GOD, TO GO BACK TO

OUR ROOTS, TO REALIZE HE IS

IN CHARGE, TO FIND OUT MAYBE

THAT SUFFERING, THE THING

THAT JESUS WENT THROUGH TO

WIN OUR SALVATION --

Wendy: WELL, YOU GOT

BLITZED?

YOU GOT CUT FROM THE

PHILADELPHIA EAGLES AND YOU

WEREN'T EXPECTING TO?

NO, I WASN'T.

I HAD A GOOD SEASON AND THEN

I GOT CUT.

I WENT HOME TO SEATTLE, AND

I'M WAITING FOR THE ANSWER

TO MY PRAYER -- THE ANSWER

WAS, GOD, GIVE ME A NEW

TEAM.

I WANT TO CONTINUE PLAYING

FOOTBALL.

THAT ISN'T ALWAYS THE BEST

PRAYER.

I THINK GOD WANTS TO CHANGE

US TO HANDLE OR

CIRCUMSTANCES.

FOUR WEEKS WENT BY, AND I

CALLED THE COACH AND I'M

READY TO PLAY BECAUSE THE

SEAHAWKS HAD AN OPENING

BECAUSE THEIR QUARTERBACK

GOT HURT.

AND THE COACH CALLED BACK

AND SAID, SORRY, WE'RE NOT

GOING TO SIGN YOU.

I'M A STRONG CHRISTIANS, BUT

MY EMOTIONS WENT OUT THE

DOOR.

I SAID, GOD, I'M NOT GOING

TO PRAY.

I'M GOING TO FEEL THIS

PAIN.

AND I HAD THIS PITY PARTY,

WHICH WAS STUPID BECAUSE I

HAD A WIFE AND KIDS AND SO

MANY BLESSINGS, BUT MY WIFE

CAME OUT.

AND WE NEED TO ASK FOR

HELP.

IN THIS CASE, SHE OFFERED

HIS HELP.

AND SHE SAID, JEFF, I CAN'T

IMAGINE HOW MUCH THIS HURTS,

BUT I KNOW GOD HAS SOMETHING

GOOD.

AND I SAID, I KNOW THAT, BUT

I WANT TO FINISH WITH SOME

DIGNITY.

Wendy: HOW DID YOU TURN

THAT BLITZ FOR THE LAST, I

GUESS, 20 YEARS?

THIS STORY COMPLETES IT.

AT THE WORST MOMENT OF MY

CAREER, LOSING MY CAREER,

TURNED INTO SOMETHING

BEAUTIFUL.

SHE SAID, YOU KNOW, JESUS

DIDN'T GET ANY DIGNITY WHEN

HE LEFT HIS WORLD.

MAYBE YOU NEED TO LET GO OF

THAT DESIRE.

AND I JOKED AND SAID, MAYBE

YOU NEED TO GO INSIDE.

AND PRETTY SOON I HAD THIS

EPIPHANY, THE SACRIFICE HE

WENT THROUGH FOR ME.

AND I GOT THIS PHRASE,

FORGET WHAT LIES BEHIND AND

JUMP INTO WHAT IS AHEAD.

AND I JUMPED INTO MINISTRY.

Wendy: AND NOW YOU HAVE

TWO SONS AND TWO

DAUGHTER-IN-LAW.

YES.

AND MY MISSION IS TO

STRENGTHEN MARRIAGES --

Wendy: YOU'LL HAVE TO

GET THE BOOK.

GO TO "FACING THE

BLITZ.COM ."

Wendy: AND JEFF WILL BE

OUR FEATURED SPEAKER AT

TODAY'S CBN CHAPEL, AND YOU

CAN WATCH HIM LIVE BY GOING

TO cbn.com AT 12:00 NOON

EASTERN.

OVER TO YOU, PAT.
