HE IS KNOWN AS WILLIE'S

OTHER BROTHER ON THE HIT

SHOW, "DUCK DYNASTY."

AND SHE IS THE WOMAN

BEHIND HIS BEARD.

JEB AND JESSICA ROBERTSON

SHOOT STRAIGHT ABOUT THE

GOOD, THE BAD, AND THE

GRACE OF GOD ON TODAY'S

"THE 700 CLUB."

HI, AND WELCOME TO THIS

SHOW.

IF YOU'RE A "DUCK DYNASTY"

FAN, YOU'RE FAMILIAR WITH

THE FOUR "F"s, FAITH,

FAMILY, FOOD, AND FACIAL

HAIR.

WHEN THE SHOW STARTED, THE

FAMILY WAS SO LARGE THEY

DIDN'T FEATURE ALL OF THE

SONS ON THE SHOW, BUT THAT

SOON CHANGED.

THE QUIET SON STARTED

TALKING.

AND HE CALLS HIMSELF

MISS KAY'S FAVORITE.

TONIGHT WE'RE HAPPY TO

HAVE THE YOUNGEST COUPLE

IN THE CLAN, JEB AND

JESSICA ROBERTSON, HERE

WITH US.

Reporter: THE

ROBERTSON FAMILY FROM A&E

A&E'S "DUCK DYNASTY" ARE

KNOWN AS A FUN, QUERKY

CLAN WHO SPEAK OPENLY

ABOUT THEIR FAITH.

NOW THEIR YOUNGEST SON

JEB, AND HIS WIFE, JESSICA

ARE SHARING THEIR STORY.

IN THEIR BOOK, "THE GOOD,

THE BAD, AND THE GRACE OF

GOD," THE COUPLE TELLS

ABOUT HOW GOD SAVED THEM

AND THEIR MARRIAGE AND HOW

TRUE LOVE STARTS WITH

HONESTY AND FORGIVENESS.

Andrew: WE KNOW THE

ROBERTSONS LOVE THE

OUTDOORS, BUT, JESSICA,

YOU WERE RAISED TO BE ABLE

TO HANDLE A GUN YOURSELF?

YES.

I WAS.

MY DAD WAS A DEER HUNTER,

AND SO DON'T THINK HE EVEN

KNEW WHO THE ROBERTSONS.

AND MY MOTHER EVEN HUNTED.

Andrew: AND YOU GREW

UP IN CHURCH, IN A

CHRISTIAN FAMILY.

I DID.

Andrew: AND THEN SOME

THINGS HAPPENED IN YOUR

LIFE SO ABOUT AT THE AGE

OF 20 OR SO, YOU'RE COMING

OUT OF A FAILED MARRIAGE,

AND THINGS STARTED TO

SPIRAL DOWN A LITTLE BIT?

IT DID.

WE CALL IT THE BIBLE BELT

WHERE WE LIVE, AND I HAVE

SUCH GOOD, GODLY ROLE

MOLDMODELS IN MY LIFE.

MY GRANDMOTHER PLAYED A

HUGE ROLE IN MY LIFE.

AND WHENEVER WE'RE AROUND

HER, ALL SHE DOES IS TALK

ABOUT JESUS, SO I DIDN'T

WANT TO LET ANYBODY DOWN.

BUT I DID CHOOSE TO LEAVE

THAT FIRST MARRIAGE, AND I

FELT LIKE A FAILURE AND I

FELT LIKE THERE WAS NO

HOPE.

I FELT LONELY AND I FELT

LIKE ALL OF THE FRIENDS IN

THE CHURCH I HAD GONE TO,

I HAD TO LEAVE.

SO IT WAS A VERY LONELY

TIME IN MY LIFE.

Andrew: PEOPLE WILL

LEARN WHEN THEY READ YOUR

FANTASTIC BOOK THAT YOU

EACH HAVE A VERY UNIQUE

TESTIMONY, AND GOD BROUGHT

YOU TOGETHER.

JEB, YOU HAD A REALLY

INTERESTING EVENT HAPPEN.

YOU SAY YOU WERE KIND OF

LIVING A SECRET LIFE, AND

YOUR FAMILY FIGURED OUT

WHAT WAS HAPPENING AND

CONFRONTED WITH YOU.

WHAT HAPPENED?

YEAH.

I PLAYED BASKETBALL AND I

WAS KIND OF OBSESSED WITH

IT.

TO AN EXTENT, IT HAD

BECOME MY GOD AND I

REALLY -- THAT'S JUST ALL

I CARED ABOUT.

AND WHEN THAT ENDED, YOU

KNOW, I TURNED TO A GROUP

OF GUYS THAT I THOUGHT

WERE THE COOLEST GUYS

EVER.

AND THEY DEFINITELY WERE

INTO SOME STUFF THAT WAS

NOT GOOD.

A LOT OF DRUGS AND

ALCOHOL.

AND SO I STARTED USING,

AND IT BECAME A DAILY

HABIT.

AND,I MEAN, YOU'D WAKE UP

DOING STUFF AND GO TO

SLEEP HIGH OR DRUNK.

IT ALL CAME TO A HEAD WHEN

MY BROTHER LEFT A NOTE ON

MY TRUCK SAYING, JEB, I

KNOW YOU'VE BEEN UP TO.

I WAS SUPER SCARED, AND I

WENT DOWN TO MY PARENTS'

HOUSE AND THEY HAD AN

INTERVENTION.

THEY TOLD ME, YOU'VE GOT

TO QUIT DOING WHAT YOU'RE

DOING OR GO OFF AND DO

WHAT YOU'RE DOING, BUT

WE'RE NOT GOING TO BE HERE

TO SUPPORT YOU.

Andrew: WHAT DO YOU

FEEL WHEN YOU WALK IN

THERE AND YOUR FAMILY IS

THERE TO CONFRONT YOU.

WERE YOU ASHAMED?

OR HOPEFUL?

I WAS TOTALLY ASHAMED.

IT WAS NOT THAT -- THEY

WOULD NEVER CONSIDER

THEMSELVES MORE HIGHLY

THAN OTHERS, BUT THEY ARE

A VERY GOD-FEARING FAMILY

AND HAVE DONE A LOT, NOT

JUST FOR OUR COMMUNITY,

BUT FOR THE WORLD.

AND I WAS SO EMBARRASSED

ON HOW I ACTED AND GOT

AWAY FROM THAT.

THERE IS A LEGACY WE'RE

TRYING TO UPHOLD.

BUT ONCE WE STARTED

TALKING AND THE TRUTH CAME

OUT AND I JUST CONFESSED,

MAN, IT WAS LIKE A WEIGHT

JUST LIFTED OFF MY

SHOULDERS.

AND IT WAS THE BEST THING

I'VE EVER DONE.

Andrew: WHAT WAS THE

CHOICE YOU WERE GIVEN?

PRETTY MUCH DAD SAID,

YOU CAN STAY HERE, AND

YOU'RE GOING TO BE ON

HOUSE ARREST.

AND IT WAS, LIKE,

NOVEMBER, HE SAID, YOU'RE

GOING TO HAVE TO GO DUCK

HUNTING EVERY DAY.

AND I THOUGHT, THAT'S NOT

SO BAD.

AND YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE

TO STAY HERE AND EAT OUR

COOKING.

YOU'RE NOT GOING OUT TO

EAT ANYWHERE.

IT IS HOUSE ARREST.

AND I WAS, LIKE, THAT'S

NOT SO BAD EITHER.

SO FOR SURE IT WAS A HUGE

WIN FOR ME.

Andrew: WHAT WAS THE

OTHER CHOICE YOU HAD?

THE OTHER CHOICE WAS,

GO LIVE YOUR LIFE.

WE'RE NOT GOING TO SUPPORT

YOU FINANCIALLY.

YOU'RE JUST CUT OUT.

YOU'RE BASICALLY CUT OUT

OF OUR LIVES.

MAN, THAT HIT ME REALLY

HARD BECAUSE WE'RE SUPER

CLOSE.

SO THE CHOICE WAS VERY

CLEAR TO STAY WITH THE

FAMILY.

Andrew: AND HOUSE

ARREST WAS BENEFICIAL FOR

YOU?

AND HOUSE ARREST TURNED

OUT VERY AWESOME.

I GAINED, I THINK, LIKE,

40 POUNDS BECAUSE I ATE SO

MUCH AND REALLY GOT INTO

THE WORD WITH MY DAD AND

STUDIED AND JUST LEARNED

SO MUCH ABOUT MY FAITH.

I THINK UP UNTIL THAT

POINT, I THINK I DEPENDED

A LOT ON MY DAD'S FAITH

AND MY BROTHER'S FAITH AND

DIDN'T HAVE A LOT OF FAITH

OF MY OWN.

SO THAT'S WHERE I GOT

THAT.

Andrew: AND YOU

MENTIONED IN THE BOOK IT

WAS ONE OF THE FEW TIMES

YOU SAW YOUR FATHER CRY.

IT IS.

WHEN MY GRANDMOTHER PASSED

AWAY, WHO WAS KIND OF THE

MATRIARCH OF OUR FAMILY,

HE CRIED.

AND I THINK THAT DAY HE

CRIED.

ALL OF THE BROTHERS

CRIED.

YEAH.

YEAH, IT WAS TOUGH.

Andrew: JESSICA ONE

DAY YOU WALK INTO THE HAIR

SALON, OF ALL PLACES, AND

YOU SEE THIS GUY.

I SEE THIS HANDSOME,

DIMPLED MAN, AND HE WAS

YOUNG AND HE WAS CUTE.

AND I JUST SAID, HI, AND

KIND OF KEPT GOING.

I NEVER REALLY THOUGHT HE

WOULD EVER LIKE ME OR

ANYTHING.

WE LATER BECAME FRIENDS.

AND HE ACTUALLY BAPTIZED

ME A COUPLE OF MONTHS

AFTER MEETING HIM -- OR

ABOUT A MONTH AND A HALF

AFTER MEETING HIM.

Andrew: A BIBLE STUDY

AT HIS HOUSE?

A BIBLE STUDY WITH A

LARGE GROUP OF COLLEGE

KIDS.

AND ONE NIGHT IT WAS JUST

US, AND THEY SHARED THE

GOSPEL, AND I WAS, LIKE,

I'M READY TO CHANGE MY

LIFE.

Andrew: WERE PEOPLE

ROOTING YOU ON TO MARRY

EACH OTHER?

NOT AT ALL.

BECAUSE IT WAS SO QUICKLY

AFTER I WAS COMING OUT OF

DIVORCE, AND ALL OF THE

BAGGAGE I CARRIED LIVING

IN A SMALL TOWN, AND

RUMORS AND PEOPLE JUST --

IT'S HARD TO, LIKE, FEEL

FORGIVENESS WHEN PEOPLE

KEEP REMINDING YOU OF YOUR

PAST.

THAT'S SOMETHING WE SHARE

IN OUR BOOK, HOW TO GET

THROUGH THAT AND

ENCOURAGEMENT AS

CHRISTIANS, LIKE WHAT WE

SHOULD DO TO HELP PEOPLE

OUT INSTEAD OF PUSHING

THEM DOWN AND MAKING THEM

FEEL TERRIBLE.

Andrew: AND EVEN A

GREAT CHALLENGE HA MARRIAGE HAS IT'S

CHALLENGES.

AND ONE OF THOSE WAS WHEN

YOU CAUGHT JEB LOOKING AT

PORNOGRAPHY.

YES.

Andrew: AND WHAT DID

THAT DO TO YOU?

IT DEVASTATED ME.

I FELT LIKE I WASN'T

ENOUGH, THAT I WASN'T

PRETTY ENOUGH.

THAT HE WAS WANTING TO BE

WITH SOMEONE ELSE.

SO, YEAH, IT REALLY HIT

HARD.

AND I KNOW MOST PEOPLE

WOULD SAY THAT'S NOT WHAT

IT IS ABOUT.

BUT WE DEFINITELY DIDN'T

WANT OUR KIDS TO GROW UP

IN THAT ENVIRONMENT.

WE DON'T WANT OUR KIDS TO

BE INVOLVED IN THAT.

Andrew: SO THAT IS

ONE OF THE MOST HURTFUL

THINGS ABOUT PORNOGRAPHY.

IT IS NOT JUST SOMETHING

THAT MAY BRING ANGER TO

THE OTHER SPOUSE, BUT IT

IS HURTFUL AS WELL.

IT IS HURT.

Andrew: WERE YOU

CONCERNED THAT YOUR

MARRIAGE WOULD BE ABLE TO

RECOVER, JEB?

I WAS WORRIED AT FIRST

BECAUSE IT WAS SUPER

TOUGH.

AND I THINK, YOU KNOW, IN

THE END, ONCE, YOU KNOW, I

WAS ABLE TO BE TOTALLY

HONEST WITH HER AND JUST

TELL HER ABOUT THAT AND

ANOTHER THINGS THAT HAD

HAPPENED, YOU KNOW, OUR

MARRIAGE REALLY GOT SO

MUCH BETTER.

AND THROUGH SOME

COUNSELLING AND STUFF I

NEEDED TO DO, AND HAVING

PEOPLE WHO ARE

ACCOUNTABLE, GUYS THAT I

KNOW HAVE STRUGGLED WITH

IT, TOO, US TALK ABOUT IT

AND BE, LIKE, HOW IS YOUR

WEEK GOING?

YOUR MONTH?

IT IS A PLAGUE ON THIS

SOCIETY, AND I REALLY

THINK IT IS GETTING

DOWNPLAYED AND PEOPLE

DON'T WANT TO TALK ABOUT

IT.

BUT IT IS SOMETHING THAT

NEEDS TO BE DEALT WITH.

Andrew: HOW IMPORTANT

IS GRACE IN A MARRIAGE?

IT'S A MUST IF YOU WANT

IT TO LAST.

ULTIMATELY, WHEN WE WERE

AT THAT PIVOTAL POINT IN

OUR MARRIAGE, IT TOOK

ME -- AND I SHARED IN THE

BOOK -- WHEN I STARTED

THINKING ABOUT HOW MUCH

GOD HAD FORGIVEN ME FOR, I

THOUGHT, HOW CAN I NOT

FORGIVE HIM.

I LOOKED AT HIM AS A SOUL,

NOT AS MY HUSBAND.

I'M, LIKE, I WANT HIM TO

GET TO HEAVEN.

IF WE SPLIT UP, WHAT WOULD

HAPPEN?

WOULD HE GO OFF THE DEEP

END?

I WAS, LIKE, I WANT TO

HELP HIM GET TO HEAVEN.

IT BECAME ABOUT HIS SOUL

AND HELPING HIM TO GET TO

HEAVEN MORE THAN LET'S

JUST BE BLISSFUL.

AND IT TOOK A LONG TIME TO

BUILD THAT TRUST, BUT GOD

RESTORED THAT, AND EVEN

MORE SO.

WE'RE CLOSER NOW THAN WE

EVERYWHERE.

I LOVE HIM MORE NOW THAN

WHEN I FIRST SAW HIM.

WHEN I FIRST SAW HIM HE

WAS THIS LITTLE, DIMPLED

BOY.

Andrew: BEARDLESS?

BEARDLESS.

BUT I LOVE THE BEARD.

Andrew: HOW HARD IS

IT TO HAVE THE CAMERAS IN

THE HOUSE?

IT'S NOT THAT BAD.

WHEN I GREW UP, WE MADE

HUNTING VIDEOS, AND SO WE

ALWAYS HAD CAMERAS AROUND.

FRIENDS OF MINE WOULD BE,

HEY, MAN, CAN I BE AN

EXTRA ON THE SET, KIND OF

WALK BYMENT AND THE BY.

AND THEY GET SO NERVES

WHENERVOUSWHEN THEY SEE A CAMERA.

AND I SAY, DON'T WORRY

ABOUT IT.

IT'S NOT GOING TO BITE

YOU.

Andrew: I'LL HAVE TO

REMEMBER THAT.

A WHILE BACK OUR MICHELLE

WILSON WENT TO WEST MONROE

AND INTERVIEWED YOUR MOM,

MISS KAY.

HERE IS MISS KAY SAYING A

PRAYER FOR MARRIED

COUPLES.

CAN YOU SAY A QUICK

PRAYER FOR MARRIAGES OUT

THERE.

I HAVE FRIENDS THAT ARE

GOING THROUGH WITH THEIR

HUSBANDS THE SAME

SITUATION.

BUT CAN YOU JUST SAY A

PRAYER, SPEAK A BLESSING

OVER THEIR MARRIAGES.

OKAY.

FATHER IN HEAVEN, WE LOVE

YOU SO MUCH THE UNREAL.

IT'S UNREAL.

I DON'T KNOW HOW YOU LOVE

US SO MUCH WHEN SO MANY

TIMES WE FORGET YOU AND

PUT YOU ON THE BACK

BURNER, WHEN YOU SHOULD BE

ON THE FRONT BURNER.

FATHER, IN AMERICA, I SEE

SO MANY MARRIAGES THAT ARE

JUST NOT MAKING IT.

FATHER, I WANT TO PUT A

BLESSING ON MARRIAGES

WHERE THEY'LL SEE THAT

COMMITMENT, THAT VOW THEY

MAKE TO YOU, IT'S FOR

LIFE.

AND PLEASE DON'T LET THE

DEVIL WORK AWAY AND GET

INTO THE MINDS OF ALL OF

THOSE PEOPLE THAT SAY IT'S

OVER.

IT'S OVER.

LET THEM SEE THAT YOUR WAY

IS BEST.

AND JUST AS MY

GRANDMOTHER'S WORDS WERE

TRUE, LET'S FIGHT FOR

THOSE MARRIAGES.

LET'S LOOK TO YOU FOR THE

ANSWERS.

LET'S SET THE EXAMPLE.

AND HELP AMERICA LEARN HOW

TO STAND BY THEIR MAN AND

STAND BY THEIR WOMAN.

AND PRAYING WILL MAKE IT

HAPPEN.

PLEASE HELP TO LOOK TO

YOUR WORD AS A ROADMAP TO

OUR LIVES.

WE ASK ALL OF THIS IN

JESUS' NAME.

AMEN.

AMEN.

Andrew: AMEN IS

RIGHT.

THAT'S A SPECIAL LADY.

SHE IS AN AWESOME LADY.

WHEN SHE AND JESS MET, I

SAID, I WANT YOU TO MEET

HER.

SHE IS THE MOST LIKE YOU

THAN ANYBODY I'VE EVER

NET.

Andrew: WE THANK YOU

SO MUCH FOR BEING WITH US.

THANK YOU.

Andrew: PICK UP A

COPY OF THEIR BOOK, "THE

GOOD, THE BAD, AND THE

GRACE OF GOD."

AND YOU CAN CATCH THEIR

SHOW ON WEDNESDAY ON A&E.

> STILL AHEAD, JACE

ROBERTSON DESCRIBES THE

MOMENT HE SAW HIS THIRD

CHILD FOR THE FIRST TIME.

WHEN I SAW HER, I

THOUGHT IN MY MIND, OKAY,

THIS IS SEVERE.

THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN SHE

WAS KIND OF STRUGGLING TO

BREATHE, AND THEN JUST

PANIC ENSUED.

JACE AND HIS WIFE, MISSY,

TALK ABOUT THEIR ONGOING

JOURNEY OF FAITH WITH

THEIR MIRACLE CHILD.

STAY WITH US.

Andrew: THE ROBERTSON

CLAN HAS HAD ITS SHARE OF

TROUBLES.

VIEWERS SAW 11-YEAR-OLD

MIA ROBERTSON FACE HER

FIFTH SURGERY.

THIS IS THEIR BITTERSWEET

STORY OF HER MIRACULOUS

BIRTH.

"DUCK DYNASTY'S" JACE AND

MISSY ROBERTSON ARE

FAMILIAR FACES TO

MILLIONS.

SHE IS THE SARCASTIC SON

THAT HELPS RUN THE FAMILY

BUSINESS.

JACE AND MISSY MARRIED

STRAIGHT OUT OF HIGH

SCHOOL.

FIRST THEY WELCOMED THEIR

ON REID INTO THE FAMILY

AND LATER COLT.

AND A FEW YEARS LATER THEY

DECIDED TO HAVE ANOTHER

BABY AND THAT'S WHEN THE

CHALLENGES STARTED.

IT TOOK US ALMOST A

YEAR TO GET PREGNANT.

EIGHT, NINE WEEKS ALONE I

FOUND OUT THIS BABY WAS

GROWING INSIDE MY TUBE AND

THERE IS NO WAY FOR THIS

BABY TO LIVE.

THEY WOULD HAVE TO GO IN IN

AND TAKE IT OUT.

Reporter: SHE SOON

HEALED AND GOT PREGNANT

AGAIN.

BUT DUE TO AN OVERSIGHT,

THERE WERE SERIOUS

COMPLICATIONS.

I DID NOT RECEIVE ROGAM

SHOT AFTER MY MISCARRIAGE.

Andrew: DOCTORS TOLD

JACE AND MISSY THERE WAS

ONLY A 1% CHANCE THIS BABY

WOULD LIVE.

MY BODY WAS GOING TO

PUSH THIS BABY OUT.

I WAS TOLD, THE GOAL IS TO

GET THIS BABY TO 26 WEEKS

BEFORE WE HAVE TO TAKE

THIS BABY FROM YOUR BODY.

THAT WAS NOT SOMETHING I

WANTED TO HEAR AFTER

HAVING A MISCARRIAGE.

Andrew: JACE SAYS

THEY PUT THEIR FAMILY IN

GOD'S HANDS.

WE JUST WEREN'T PRAYING

FOR EVERYTHING TO BE OKAY.

I WAS, LIKE, LOOK NO

MATTER WHAT HAPPENS WE'RE

GOING TO TRUST YOU.

IT IS KIND OF A SCARY

PLACE TO BE.

Andrew: THEN SOME

GOOD NEWS.

WELL, THE FARTHER WE

GOT ALONG IN THE

PREGNANCY, WE REALIZED

THIS BABY IS ACTING

NORMALLY.

AND THE SPECIALIST SAID,

THERE IS NO OTHER

EXPLANATION THAN TO KNOW

THAT THIS BABY MUST HAVE

NEGATIVE BLOOD.

Andrew: THE COUPLE

THANKED GOD FOR THEIR

MIRACLE.

AND WITH EXCITEMENT,

PREPARED FOR THE BIRTH OF

THEIR DAUGHTER, MIA.

31 WEEKS, WE WENT IN

FOR THE ULTRASOUND TO SEE

THE BABY'S FACE AND

NOTICED THAT SOMETHING WAS

A LITTLE OFF ABOUT HER

FACIAL FEATURES.

Andrew: THE FUN

ULTRASOUND SOON TURNED

SOMBER.

DOCTORS ANALYZED THE VIDEO

AND GAVE THE ROBERTSONS

BAD NEWS.

ONE THING WE KNOW FROM

LOOKING IT IS A CLEFT LIP

AND POSSIBLY A CLEFT

PALATE LATE, BU, BUT THERE IS NO

WAY TO KNOW THAT UNTIL THE

BABY IS BORN.

Andrew: JACE AND

MISSY WERE SHOCKED AND

WERE UNSURE OF THE BABY'S

FUTURE.

THE DAY SHE WAS BORN,

IT WAS KIND OF CHILLING.

WHEN I SAW HER, IN MY

MIND, I THOUGHT, OKAY,

THIS IS SEVERE.

AND THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN

SHE WAS STRUGGLING TO

BREATHE, AND THEN JUST

PANIC ENSUED.

Reporter: DOCTORS

MADE JACE LEAVE THE ROOM.

AS HE WALKED OUT, HE AGAIN

CALLED ON GOD IN PRAYER.

PLEASE LET HER LIVE.

WE'VE GONE THROUGH ALL OF

THIS, AND I WAS THINKING,

YOU KNOW, GIVE HER TO US

AND WE WILL DO OUR BEST.

Andrew: MIA WAS A

FIGHTER, AND AFTER DOCTORS

DISCOVERED FLUID ON HER

LUNGS, SHE LEFT THE NIC

UNIT WITHIN A WEEK.

THEY REALIZED, THOUGH,

THAT THE STRUGGLE WAS FAR

FROM OVER.

WITHOUT A PALETTE, SHE

COULD NOT EAT PROPERLY.

SHE WAS ALWAYS CHOKING,

SO WE DIDN'T SLEEP MUCH.

Andrew: WHEN SHE WAS 17

DAYS OLD, THEY TOOK HER TO

A SPECIALIST IN DALLAS.

THEY CREATED LIKE A

FAKE PALETTE UNTIL THEY'RE

OLD ENOUGH AND CAN HANDLE

A PALETTE SURGERY.

THAT SOUNDS GREAT, BUT

I COULDN'T HANDLE IT.

NOW WE HAVEN'T HAD ANY

REST, AND WE WALK IN THERE

AND THIS DOCTOR SHOVES

THIS PLASTER IN HER MOUTH,

WAY TOO MUCH AND WAY TOO

FORCEFUL.

AND SHE JUST -- SHE'S NOT

BREATHING.

AND THEN IT DIDN'T COME

OUT RIGHT, SO THEY SAID,

WE'VE GOT TO DO THIS

AGAIN.

THAT'S WHEN MY BIG ROCK

LEFT THE ROOM.

I WAS THIS CLOSE TO

HITTING THAT GUY RIGHT

BETWEEN THE EYES.

SO, BOY, I WENT TO THE

PARKING LOT AND EYEBALLED I BALLED

LIKE A BABY.

Andrew: TO THIS DAY,

THAT DIFFICULTY HAS NOT

STOPPED.

THIS IS A PROCESS THAT

EXISTS AS LONG AS THEY

GROWS.

IT IS NOT LIKE WE'VE

ALWAYS HAD EVERYTHING

TOGETHER AND WE'RE, LIKE,

THE PERFECT FAMILY WHO

KNEW THIS WAS COMING AND

COULD DEAL WITH ALL OF THE

UPS AND DOWNS WUT FLAWS.

WITHOUT

FLAWS.

THAT'S NOT TRUE AT ALL.

WE STRUGGLED WITH THIS.

EACH EIGHT TO NINE TO 12

MONTHS, A DIFFERENT

PROCESS STARTS.

YOU'VE GOT TO GIVE ME A

WEEK.

ONCE THERE IS THAT

PROCESS, I HAVE A WEEK OF

DEALING WITH IT.

SOMETIMES IT IS A CHANGE

OF LIFESTYLE FOR HER AND

SHE CAN'T BE ACTIVE AND

PLAY LIKE LITTLE CHILDREN

BECAUSE SHE IS WEARING

DEVICES.

AND WE CRY A LOT.

BUT I ALSO HAVE STRONG

WOMEN AROUND ME WHERE I

CAN SEND A BASIC MESSAGE

OR I CAN GET ON THE GROUP

TEXT AND SAY, PLEASE PRAY

FOR THIS RIGHT NOW.

Andrew: EVEN WHEN HER

PARENTS HAVE STRUGGLED,

MIA HAS RARELY COMPLAINED.

SHE LOVES LIFE.

SHE IS NOT SHY.

SHE MAKES FRIENDS

INSTANTLY, AND IT IS EASY

TO LOOK BACK NOW AND SAY,

OH, NOW WE SEE WHY GOD DID

THIS.

GOD IS USING US TO HELP

OTHER KIDS AND OTHER

FAMILIES.

BECAUSE NOW WE'RE THE

WYLIE VETERANS.

WE HAVE THIS KNOWLEDGE.

THAT'S WHY WE STARTED OUR

FOUNDATION.

WE'RE, LIKE, YOU KNOW

WHAT?

WE NEED TO DAW TALK TO THESE

PEOPLE AND TRY TO HELP

THEM.

SHE TEACHES US TRULY IT IS

THE SPIRITUAL NATURE OF US

THAT IS THE MOST

IMPORTANT.

SHE IS SO FRIENDLY AND

PEOPLE GRAVITATE TOWARDS

HER BECAUSE O ALL OF THE

SUFFERING SHE HAS GONE

THROUGH HAS CREATED THIS

PERSEVERANCE AND THIS

CHARACTER AND THIS HOPE.

YOU KNOW, WHO DOESN'T WANT

HOPE?

Andrew: PERHAPS

YOU'RE A PARENT LIKE ME,

WHO KNOWS THE EXPERIENCE

OF HAVING A CHILD IN THE

NIC UNIT BRINGS YOU TO

YOUR KNEES.

BUT THERE IS HOPE.

AND WE'VE SEEN THAT HOPE

IN THIS GLIMPSE INTO THE

ROBERTSON FAMILY.

THERE IS HOPE AFTER A

FAILED MARRIAGE.

THERE IS HOPE AFTER

PORNOGRAPHY MISSIONS.

ISSUES.

AND THERE IS HOPE WHEN

WE'RE RAISING CHILDREN

WITH CHALLENGES.

AND ONE THING I LOVE

ABOUT THIS FAMILY, AND WE

SAW IT WITH JEB AND WITH

JESSICA, THEY'RE SO REAL.

YOU CAN FEEL LIKE YOU CAN

CONNECT WITH THEM.

THEY'RE NOT SAYING BECAUSE

WE'RE AN AMAZING FAMILY OR

BECAUSE WE'RE CHRISTIANS,

THAT MEANS WE'RE IMMUNE TO

LIFE'S STRUGGLES.

THEY'RE VERY HONEST AND

OPEN THAT, YES, EVEN

CHRISTIANS, WE GO THROUGH

THESE THINGS, BUT WE HAVE

A HOPE AND A SAVIOR WHO IS

THERE FOR US.

Andrew: IT IS SO KEY

HOW WE RESPOND, NOT JUST

TO REACT TO SITUATIONS BUT

TO PAUSE AND RESPOND.

COMING UP, SEE HOW YOU

HELPED THIS TEENAGER GET

OFF THE STREETS, START A

NEW LIFE, AND FINALLY

BELONG.

STAY WITH US.

Andrew: A BOY NAMED

WILSON ESCAPED HIS ABUSIVE

HOME, ONLY TO SURVIVE ON

THE STREETS FOR SIX LONG

YEARS.

BUT THANKS TO PARTNERS

LIKE YOU, HIS FUTURE LOOKS

A WHOLE LOT BRIGHTER.

Reporter: BY THE TIME

WILSON TURNED 16, HE HAD

BEEN LIVING ON THE STREETS

OF SAN PEDRO, HONDURAS,

FOR MORE THAN SIX YEARS.

OTHER HOMELESS TEENS

BECAME HIS TEACHERS.

COPING WITH THE COLD AND

HUNGER WERE AMONG HIS

FIRST LESSONS.

THEY TOLD ME TO KEEP

WARM WHEN I WAS HUNGRY.

Reporter: WILSON

NEVER WANTED TO RUN AWAY,

BUT AFTER HIS MOM LEFT

HOME, HE FACED ALMOST

DAILY BEATINGS FROM AN

ALCOHOLIC FATHER.

AS THE YEARS PAST, HE

BECAME A SURVIVOR.

I USED TO LOOK FOR FOOD

IN GARBAGE DUMPS.

LATER, BECAUSE I WAS

HUNGRY, I ALWAYS LOOKED.

Reporter: ONE NIGHT

SOME TEENS ASKED HIM TO

COME AND STAY WITH THEM AT

A HOME SUPPORTED BY

"OPERATION BLESSING."

I WAS SO TIRED OF

STAYING ON THE STREETS.

Reporter: MEMBERS OF

THE HOUSE GREETED WILSON

AS HE ARRIVED AND HE WAS

GIVEN HOT MEALS AND A

PLACE TO SLEEP.

I FEEL SO EXCITED,

JOYFUL AND SURPRISED,

BECAUSE I NEVER HAD

FRIENDS LIKE THIS.

I HAVE FOOD AND A PLACE TO

LIVE, BUT MOSTLY I HAVE A

NEW FAMILY.

Reporter: WILSON ALSO

PRAYED TO BECOME A

CHRISTIAN.

THIS IS THE BEST THING

THAT EVER HAPPENED IN MY

LIFE.

THANKS TO "OPERATION

BLESSING" FOR HELPING US.

Andrew: YOU KNOW, IF

WE WERE WALKING PAST THAT

GARBAGE DUMP AND YOU SEE

BOYS OR GIRLS LIKE WILSON

OUT THERE LOOKING FOR

FOOD, WE WOULD WANT TO DO

SOMETHING TO HELP.

HERE IS A GREAT WAY TO

HELP.

ANDREW, RICK WRITES,

"MY WIFE AND I HAVE BEEN

TRYING TO HAVE A BABY FOR

OVER 10 YEARS.

WE'VE TRIED EVERYTHING.

THREE YEARS AGO WE

RECEIVED A PROPHETIC WORD

FROM A TRUSTWORTHY SOURCE

THAT SHE WOULD HAVE A

BABY, BUT IT HASN'T

HAPPENED YET.

PLEASE PRAY.

WE NEED A MIRACLE."

ARLENE SAYS, "MY HUSBAND

DOESN'T LOVE ME AND WANTS

HIS FREEDOM.

I WANT TO GIVE UP ALREADY,

TOO.

I'VE HAD ENOUGH OF HIS

INSULTS AND HIS TELLING ME

I AM WORTH NOTHING.

PLEASE PRAY THAT I MAY

KNOW WHAT TO DO."

AND IRENE SAYS, "PLEASE

PRAY FOR MY MARRIAGE

BECAUSE MY HUSBAND IS

CHEATING ON ME.

THANK YOU AND GOD BLESS

YOU "700 CLUB

INTERACTIVE"."

WELL, WE'RE GOING TO PRAY

FOR YOUR NEEDS.

IF YOU ARE SOMEONE YOU

KNOW NEEDS PRAYER, WE'RE

GOING TO BELIEVE FOR A

MIRACLE AND FOR

BREAKTHROUGH TODAY.

JOIN WITH US.

HEAVENLY FATHER, WE JUST

THANK YOU THAT YOU ARE

GREATER THAN ALL OF OUR

PROBLEMS.

FATHER, WE'RE REMINDED OF

THE PSALM OF DAVID, THAT

THOUGH WE WALK THROUGH THE

VALLEY OF THE SHADOW OF

DEATH, WE SHALL FEEL NO

EVIL.

WE LIFT OF ARLENE AND

IRENE WHO ARE BOTH

STRUGGLING WITH THEIR

MARRIAGES.

FATHER, WE ASK THAT YOU

WOULD BE THEIR COMFORT.

THAT THEY WOULD FEEL THAT

STAFF OF THE SHEPHERD

GIVING THEM PEACE AND

GUIDANCE.

THAT YOU WOULD GUIDE BOTH

OF THEM WITH THE WISDOM OF

THE LORD TO HAVE

BOUNDARIES AND

DISCERNMENT, WHAT DO DO IN

THESE ABUSIVE SITUATIONS.

FATHER, WE LIFT UP RICK

AND HIS WIFE WHO ARE JUST

DESPERATE TO HAVE A CHILD.

WE KNOW, LORD, JUST THAT

HEARTACHE OF GETTING A

PROPHETIC WORD AND HOPING

AND HOPING AND NOT SEEING

IT YET.

FATHER, WE JUST PRAY RIGHT

NOW, IN JESUS' NAME, THAT

YOU WOULD TOUCH HER BODY.

THAT YOU WOULD HEAL HER

FROM THE INSIDE OUT AND

FROM THE OUTSIDE IN, THAT

YOUR KINGDOM WOULD COME,

THAT YOUR WILL WOULD BE

DONE IN HER BODY ON EARTH

AS IT IS IN HEAVEN, THAT

THEY WOULD HAVE A MIRACLE

AND A TESTIMONY TO SHARE

IN JESUS' NAME.

AMEN.

Andrew: AMEN.

THANK YOU, JESSICA.

I ENCOURAGE YOU ALL, GIVE

US A CALL WHENEVER YOU

NEED PRAYER,

1-888-777-1999.

AND LEAVE YOU WITH THIS

GREAT PROMISE: "CHRIST

GAVE EACH ONE OF US THE

SPECIAL GIFT OF GRACE,

SHOWING HOW GENEROUS HE

IS."

KNOX, AND WE'LL SEE YOU

NEXT TIME ON "700 CLUB

INTERACTIVE."
