Wendy: TODAY...

PREPARE TO ABANDON

SHIP.

Wendy: ...THE TRUE

STORY THAT INSPIRED THE

LEGEND, MOBY DICK.

THEY TAKE US IN "IN THE

HEART OF THE SEA."

PLUS...A BABY BORN SIX

MONTHS EARLY.

THE DOCTORS WERE JUST

AMAZED.

Wendy: ON TODAY'S

"700 CLUB."

Gordon: WELCOME TO

"THE 700 CLUB."

THERE IS A NEW DEADLY

COMBINATION OF TERRORISM

AND TECHNOLOGY.

ISIS IS RECRUITING NEW

MEMBERS ARE SPREADING ITS

PROPAGANDA THROUGH POPULAR

WEBSITES LIKE TWITTER AND

YouTube, AND NOW THE

JIHADIS HAVE DEVELOPED

THEIR OWN SMARTPHONE APP.

Terry: AND THE

TERRORISTS USE ENCRYPTION

TO KEEP THEIR DEADLY MES

MESSAGES FROM THE

GOVERNMENT.

HEATHER SELLS HAS ARE

STORY.

Heather: THE RECENT

ATTACKS IN PARIS AND SAN

BERNARDINO HAVE RENEWED

THE DEBATE: HOW CAN THE

GOVERNMENT GAIN ACCESS TO

ENCRYPTED TERROR

COMMUNICATIONS?

EARLIER THIS YEAR

AUTHORITIES RAN INTO THIS

PROBLEM.

THEY WEREN'T ABLE TO

DECRYPT MORE THAN 100

MESSAGES SENT BY ONE OF

THE TERRORISTS WHO

ATTACKED A CARTOON

PUBLICATION.

LOTS OF GOOD PEOPLE

HAVE DESIGNED THEIR

SYSTEMS AND DEVICES SO

THAT JUDGES' ORDERS CANNOT

BE COMPLIED WITH.

FOR REASONS I UNDERSTAND.

Heather: BUT DIRECTOR

COMEY TOLD THE GOVERNMENT

THAT MANY HAVE FIGURED OUT

HOW TO SUPPLY SERVICES TO

THEIR COSTUMERS AND STILL

SUPPLY THE GOVERNMENT.

THEY ASKED THE TECH WORLD

TO CREATE A SOLUTION.

THE QUESTION WE HAVE TO

ASK IS: SHOULD THEY CHANGE

THEIR BUSINESS MODEL.

THAT IS A VERY, VERY HARD

QUESTION, LOTS OF

IMPLICATIONS WITH IT.

WE HAVE TO WRESTLE WITH IT

BECAUSE OF WHAT IS AT

STAKE.

Heather: ONE

PRACTICAL ISSUE: A TECH

COMPANY COULD

INADVERTENTLY TURN OVER

INNOCENT CITIZENS'

COMMUNICATIONS.

THE GOVERNMENT IS MOUNTING

PRESSURE ON SOCIAL MEDIA

COMPANIES TO BE LOOKING

OUT FOR TERRORIST

PROPAGANDA.

BUT CIVIL LIBERTIES

EXPERTS SAY WATCH OUT:

MONITORING INFORMATION AT

THE GOVERNMENT'S REQUEST

BECOMES A SLIPPERY SLOPE,

PLUS DETERMINING THE

DIFFERENCE BETWEEN

POLITICAL SPEECH AND

TERRORISM.

BUT THE GOVERNMENT IS ALSO

SCRAMBLING TO KEEP UP WITH

ISIS' SOPHISTICATED USE OF

TECHNOLOGY IN OTHER AREAS.

ABC NEWS SAYS ISIS CAN

PRODUCE FAKE PASSPORTS

USING A PASSPORT MACHINE

LIKELY CAPTURED IN SYRIA.

AND A GROUP CALLED, "THE

GO SECURITY GROUP" SAYS

ISIS HAS DEVELOPED ITS OWN

SMARTPHONE APP, WHICH

FEATURES THE LATEST ISIS

EXECUTIONS AND BATTLEFIELD

VICTORIES.

AND THE TERRORISTS HAVE

BEEN HEAVILY USING SOCIAL

MEDIA ACCOUNTS.

IT ALL SHOWS THAT ISIS IS

EXTREMELY ADEPT AT USING

ONLINE TECHNOLOGY FOR

RECRUITING.

WHICH MEANS IT COULD

BECOME MORE CAPABLE OF

RADICALIZING MORE PEOPLE

AND CARRYING OUT MORE

DEADLY ATTACKS.

HEATHER SELLS, CBN NEWS.

Gordon: IT IS TYPICAL

THAT THE GOVERNMENT IS

ASKING FOR MORE

SURVEILLANCE IN THE WAKE

OF THIS AND MORE ACCESS TO

COMMUNICATIONS BY ORDINARY

CITIZENS IN ORDER TO

SOMEHOW STOP THIS, WITHOUT

REALIZING THAT DOESN'T DO

ANYTHING.

WE ARE VOLUNTARILY GIVING

UP OUR CIVIL LIBERTIES IN

AN ILLUSIVE PURSUIT OF

SECURITY.

WHAT WE REALLY NEED TO BE

ASKING IS HOW DID THIS

WOMEN GET A VISA?

HOW DID THEY GET INTO THE

COUNTRY?

WHAT WAS THAT ABOUT?

CAN WE STOP THAT?

THAT SEEMS TO BE A BIG

HOLE IN OUR SECURITY.

WHY AREN'T WE LOOKING MORE

CLOSELY AT THAT?

AND IF THEY HAVE A

PASSPORT MACHINE THAT THEY

CAN USE, WHY AREN'T WE

LOOKING AT WHAT -- DOES

THAT HAVE ANY SIGNATURE

MARKS?

IS THERE ANY WAY TO TRACK

THAT?

THOSE SEEM TO BE, TO ME,

AT LEAST, A WAY TO GIVE US

MORE SECURITY.

AT THE SAME TIME, WE'RE

NOT FIGHTING THE WAR ON

THE LEVEL IT NEEDS TO BE

FOUGHT AT.

YOU CAN ABSOLUTELY WIN

AGAINST ISIS.

YOU CAN PUT BOOTS ON THE

GROUND.

YOU CAN GO IN THERE AND

COMPLETELY INVADE AND

OCCUPY EVERY SINGLE CITY.

ALL OF THESE FIGHTERS ARE

JUST GOING TO DISAPPEAR

INTO THE WOODWORK BECAUSE

WE ARE NOT FIGHTING IT ON

THE BATTLEGROUND WE NEED

TO BE.

THIS IS A WAR OF IDEOLOGY.

THESE PEOPLE THINK THAT

SOMEHOW THEY'RE SERVING

GOD BY GOING INTO CROWDED

PLACES AND KILLING PEOPLE.

THAT'S THEIR THOUGHT

PROCESS.

AND UNTIL WE MEET IT ON

THAT LEVEL, THAT WHAT

THEIR THOUGHTS ABOUT GOD

ARE ARE WRONG, ABSOLUTELY

WRONG, UNTIL WE CONVINCE

THEM OF THE ERROR OF THEIR

THOUGHT, WE'RE NEVER GOING

TO WIN THIS.

AND THAT'S THE VERY SAD

TRUTH.

OUR GOVERNMENT DOESN'T

WANT TO CALL IT FOR WHAT

IT IS.

AND WE NEED TO START

SAYING, THIS IS THE

PROBLEM.

WE HAVE TO CHANGE THEIR

THINKING.

> WELL, ANOTHER

TERRORIST PLOT HAS BEEN

UNCOVERED IN EUROPE.

THIS TIME IT WAS IN

SWITZERLAND.

EFREM GRAHAM HAS THAT

STORY FROM THE CBN NEWS

ROOM.

Efrem: GORDON, THE

LATEST ARREST INVOLVES

INTERNATIONAL COOPERATION.

POLICE IN SWITZERLAND HAVE

BEEN SEEKING FOUR SUSPECTS

LINKED TO ISIS, AFTER THE

C.I.A. UNCOVERED A PLOT

THERE.

THE SUSPECTS WERE FOUR MEN

WHO'S PHOTOS WERE SHOWN IN

A NEWS REPORT IN A SWISS

PAPER.

IN PARIS, FRENCH

AUTHORITIES SEIZED HEAVY

AMMUNITION IN RAIDS AFTER

CLOSING A MOSQUE IN A

PARIS SUBURB.

> HERE AT HOME, TODAY'S

SECULAR-DRIVEN SOCIETY

SEEMS INTENT ON ERASING

THE RICH CHRISTIAN HISTORY

AND INFLUENCE IN OUR

COUNTRY.

ONE OF THE MAIN

BATTLEGROUNDS IS

WASHINGTON, D.C.

BUT ONE MEDIA OUTLET HAS

CREATED AN ONLINE SITE

WHERE PEOPLE CAN READ

STORIES INVOLVING

CHRISTIANITY AND ITS

VALUES.

DAVID BRODY HAS A LOOK AT

A NEW VENTURE CALLED

"JESUS IN THE PUBLIC

SQUARE."

David: IN THE

'60s, THE SUPREME COURT

SAID NO TO PRAYER IN

PUBLIC SCHOOLS.

THAT LED TO LEGALIZED

ABORTION IN THE '70s.

AND NOW THE HIGH COURT

SAYS THERE IS A

CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHT TO

SAME-SEX MARRIAGE.

SOMEBODY'S VALUES HAVE

TO REIGN SUPREME.

SO OUR GOAL IS TO BRING

OUR VALUES TO THE PUBLIC

SQUARE.

David: DAVID LANE

URGED PASTORS TO GET

INVOLVED IN THE POLITICAL

PROCESS.

HIS NAME CHALLENGE:

GETTING JESUS INTO THE

PUBLIC DISCUSSION.

IT CAME ABOUT AFTER A

VISIT TO A D.C. BOOKSTORE.

YOU COULDN'T FIND A

CHRISTIAN BOOK WITH A

FLASHLIGHT.

AND IT HIT ME AGAIN, ISN'T

THIS AWFUL?

A NATION FOUNDED BY PEOPLE

ON A RELIGIOUS MISSION,

THE MAYFLOWER COMPACT, FOR

THE GLORY OF GOD AND THE

ADVANCEMENT OF CHRISTIAN

FAITH, AND YOU'RE IN THE

NATION'S CAPITAL, AND YOU

CAN'T FIND A BOOK ON JESUS

ANYWHERE.

IF THE LORD DOES IT, WE'RE

GOING TO PUT JESUS IN THE

MIDDLE OF THE TABLE IN

WASHINGTON, D.C.

HE WILL DEFEND HIMSELF.

David: THAT TABLE

OPENED UP AT THE

WASHINGTON TIMES.

LANE PLANTED A SEED WITH

MANAGEMENT, WHICH LED TO A

WEBSITE FEATURE HANDLED BY

SCOTT LAM.

JESUS IN THE PUBLIC

SQUARE HOPES TO TALK ABOUT

AND DIAL UP WITH PEOPLE TO

SHOW THEM THAT JESUS

CHRIST AND HIS LORDSHIP IS

A UNIVERSAL THEME.

AND THEY SHOULD SUBMIT TO

THAT.

David: THE FACT THAT

THIS EFFORT TAKES PLACE ON

A MAJOR WEBSITE IS

SIGNIFICANT.

AND SO FAR IT IS A HIT.

IN THE FIRST TWO MONTHS,

THE SITE HAD NEARLY

200,000 PAGE VIEWS, MAKING

IT ONE OF THE TOP FIVE

MOST READ COMMUNITIES ON

THE WASHINGTON TIMES SITE.

WE FEEL LIKE WE HAD A

HOLE THERE.

THE INTERSECTION OF FAITH

AND PUBLIC POLITICS IS

LARGER AND LARGER.

IF YOU COME TO THE JESUS

PUBLIC SQUARE AND YOU READ

IT, YOU'LL READ SOMETHING

YOU DIDN'T GET TO READ

BEFORE.

David: AND ANOTHER

ONE WITH A PRO-CHOICE

JOURNALIST WHO BECAME

PRO-LIFE AFTER WATCHING

RECENT PLANNED PARENTHOOD

VIDEOS.

WE'RE NOT LOOKING TO

500 PIECES A DAY.

WE'RE LOOKING TO DO FOUR,

FIVE PIECES A DAY THAT

TALKS ABOUT GOSPEL-DRIVEN

THINGS THAT EXALTS JESUS

CHRIST AND GETS PEOPLE

THINKING.

WE HOPE TO HAVE A RIPPLE

EFFECT OUTWARD SO CHURCHES

ARE STRONGER AND

INDIVIDUAL FAMILIES ARE

STRONGER, AND PEOPLE WHO

ARE NOT CHRISTIAN NOW COME

INTO THE FAMILY OF GOD.

David: ULTIMATELY,

LANE SAYS THAT THE NAME,

"JESUS IN THE PUBLIC

SQUARE."

SQUARE," REMINDS US THAT

ALL TRUTH IS GOD'S TRUTH,

AND THE PEOPLE NEED TO

HEAR GOD'S WORD IN A

DESPERATE WAY.

LANE IS OPTMISTIC.

GOD IS IN THE BUSINESS

OF RESURRECTION.

I BELIEVE THERE IS GOING

TO BE A RESURRECTION OF

AMERICA, LITERALLY.

David: DAVID BRODY,

CBN NEWS, WASHINGTON.

Efrem: THIS YEARMOUR YEAR MORE

FRENCH JEWS IMMIGRATED TO

ISRAEL THAN BEFORE.

AS CHRIS MITCHELL REPORTS,

THIS COULD BE JUST THE

BEGINNING OF AN EVEN

GREATER WAVE OF FRENCH

IMMIGRANTS.

Chris: IN THIS LATEST

ROUND OF IMMIGRATION,

NEARLY 50 FRENCH JEWS

ARRIVED AT TEL AVIV'S

BEN-GURION AIRPORT.

THIS IS THE TIP OF THE

ICEBERG OF THE MANY MORE

JEWS STILL IN FRANCE THAT

ARE CONSIDERING

IMMIGRATING TO ISRAEL.

WE WILL ONLY BE SEEING

A FEW DOZEN IMMIGRANTS

TONIGHT.

BUT AS OF 2015, WE HAVE

HAD THE PLEASURE TO

WELCOME IN ISRAEL 8,000

IMMIGRANTS FROM FRANCE.

LAST YEAR, 2014, THERE

WERE 7,200.

THERE IS A MASS

IMMIGRATION FROM FRANCE TO

ISRAEL.

Chris: PARIS ATTACKS

THIS YEAR, ESPECIALLY THE

ATTACKS ON A KOSHER SUPER,

SPURRED JEWS IN FRANCE TO

ACT.

SPEAKING JUST LAST WEEK

TO TWO YOUNG FRENCH WOMEN

WHO HAD JUST COME, THEY

SAID TO US THERE ISN'T A

PERSON IN FRANCE -- A JEW

IN FRANCE -- WHO ISN'T

TALKING ABOUT COMING TO

LIVE IN ISRAEL TO SOME

EXTENT.

RIGHT NOW WE CAN'T LIVE

JUDAISM THE WAY WE WOULD

LIKE TO.

WE'RE CAREFUL NOT TO WEAR

OUR KIPPA IN THE STREETS.

WE DON'T STOP LIVING WITH

ALL OF THE TERROR ATTACKS.

IN ISRAEL, WE'LL BE ABLE

TO LIVE OUR JUDAISM THE

WAY WE WANT.

YES, THE FRENCH JEWS

ARE AFRAID.

BUT IT IS NOT THE ONLY

REASON THEY WANT TO COME

TO ISRAEL.

IT IS ALL ABOUT

CONVICTION.

BECAUSE WE THINK FOR THE

JEWS IN FRANCE, ISRAEL IS

THE FUTURE.

Chris: AMAR LED THE

LIGHTING OF THE HANUKKAH

CANDLES AS THIS GROUP CAME

FROM THE CITY OF LIGHTS IN

PARIS TO THE FESTIVAL OF

LIGHTS.

AND THEY ALSO ENJOYED A

TRADITIONAL DOUGHNUT

SERVED DURING THE HOLIDAY.

THE IMMIGRANTS, FROM

TODDLERS TO SENIOR

CITIZENS, NOW START THEIR

NEW LIFE IN THE LAND OF

ISRAEL.

TONIGHT WE GOT TO SEE

THE UNFOLDING OF THE

FAITHFULNESS OF THE GOD OF

ISRAEL TO HIS PEOPLE, AS

WAS PROMISED IN THE

PROPHET ISAIAH.

HE IS GOING TO BRING HIS

PEOPLE BACK TO ISRAEL FROM

THE NORTH, THE SOUTH, THE

EAST AND THE WEST.

TONIGHT WE GOT TO WELCOME

PEOPLE FROM THE WEST.

THIS IS IT.

THIS IS WHERE THE JEWS

BELONG.

THE BIBLE -- THIS IS WHERE

WE'RE SUPPOSED TO BE.

THERE IS NO QUESTION ABOUT

IT.

THIS IS THE LAND OF THE

JEWS.

Chris: CHRIS

MITCHELL, CBN NEWS,

BEN-GURION AIRPORT, TEL

AVIV.

Efrem: GORDON, IT

LOOKS LIKE THE BEGINNING

OF ANOTHER GREAT WAVE.

Gordon: YES, IT DOES.

ALIAH, BACK TO ISRAEL.

BUT IT IS BEING CAUSED BY

PERSECUTION, AND WE

SHOULDN'T HIDE THAT.

THE CHIEF RABBI OF BELGIUM

SAID EUROPE IS NO LONGER

INHABITABLE BY JEWS

BECAUSE OF THE RISE OF

ANTI-SEMITISM, THE RISE OF

ATTACKS AGAINST JEWS THAT

ARE SPECIFICALLY MOTIVATED

BY RELIGION.

THAT IS A STUNNING THING.

AND IF YOU THINK WE'RE

SOMEHOW IMMUNE FROM IT

HERE IN THE UNITED STATES,

JUST GO TO THE F.B.I.

WEBSITE.

THEY'RE TASKED WITH

TRACKING HATE CRIMES.

AND WHEN YOU LOOK UNDER

HATE CRIMES FOR RELIGION

IN AMERICA, THERE ARE OVER

1200 OF THEM IN THE PAST

YEAR.

AND 60% OF THOSE HATE

CRIMES WERE AGAINST JEWS.

THAT'S A STUNNING

STATISTIC.

WHEN YOU THINK, AFTER

9/11, CERTAINLY MUSLIMS

WOULD BE AT TARGET -- NO.

IF YOU LOOK AT THE HATE

CRIME THAT THE F.B.I.

TRACKS, ONLY 14% ARE

AGAINST MUSLIMS, AND 60%

ARE AGAINST JEWS.

SO SOMETHING IS GOING ON

THAT IS INCREDIBLE.

YOU LOOK AT HOW IN THE

WORLD IS THERE

ANTI-SEMITISM IN THE WORLD

AFTER ALL WE'VE LEARNED

FROM WORLD WAR II.

WHY IS THIS STILL HERE?

IT IS STILL HERE AND IT IS

CAUSING JEWS TO GO BACK TO

ISRAEL.

TERRY?

Terry: COMING UP, A

NEW MOVIE WITH "THOR" AS

YOU'VE NEVER SEEN HIM

BEFORE.

I STARTED THE FILM AT

3,000 CALORIES, AND

DWINDLED DOWN TO 500 OR

600 BY THE END OF THE

SHOOT.

THERE WAS NO ACTING

REQUIRED.

WE FELT EXHAUSTED AND BEAT

TO HELL AND STARVING.

Terry: WE GO BEHIND

THE SCENES OF THIS AMAZING

ADVENTURE FILM WHEN WE

COME BACK.

Gordon: "MOBY DICK"

IS ONE OF THE MOST FAMOUS

BOOKS IN AMERICAN HISTORY.

AND MOST PEOPLE DON'T KNOW

THIS CLASSIC NOVEL WAS

INSPIRED BY A TRUE

ADMINISTER.

AND TODAY RON HOWARD

BRINGS THAT EPIC ADVENTURE

TO THEATERS.

EFREM GRAHAM SAT DOWN WITH

RON HOWARD AND ACTOR CHRIS

HEMSWORTH, TO TALK ABOUT

WHY THEY WANTED TO BRING

THIS STORY TO THE BIG

SCREEN.

Efrem: THE EPIC SHIP

SAILED FROM NANTUCKET,

MASSACHUSETTS, IN 1820,

AND THAT FINAL TRIP OF THE

WHALING SHIP AND ITS CREW

IS STILL A GRIPPING STORY,

NEARLY 200 YEARS LATER.

FILM DIRECTOR RON HOWARD

BRINGS THE BOOK "IN THE

HEART OF THE SEA," TO THE

BIG SCREEN.

THIS MAN HAD A WILL TO

LIVE.

AND HE ALSO HAD SOMETHING

ELSE.

THEY EXPECTED ADVERSITY.

A LIFE AT SEA MEANT THEY

WERE PROBABLY GOING TO BE

SHIP WRECKED AT SOME

POINT.

THEY WERE GOING TO SUFFER.

THE CHALE WHALE, SIR, IT

STRUCK THE SHIP.

WE LOST EASTERN AND

STARBORN.

THE PUMPS ARE USELESS,

SIR.

PREPARE TO ABANDON

SHIP.

WE CAN'T ROW OUR WAY

HOME.

Efrem: A MASSIVE

SPERM WHALE RAMMED THE

NANTUCKET AND SPLIT IT IN

HALF, LEAVING THE CREW

SHIP WRECKED.

CHRIS HEMSWORTH PLAYS

FIRST MATE, OWEN CHASE.

Efrem: YOU BROUGHT

THIS SCRIPT TO RON?

UH-HUH.

Efrem: WHAT WAS IT

ABOUT IT THAT MADE YOU

BRING IT TO HIM?

I WAS FASCINATED ON THE

STORY.

AND THE MOMENT I FOUND OUT

IT WAS BASED ON TRUE

EVENTS, I WAS MORE

CAPTURED BY IT.

IT WAS A SCRIPT THAT

HAD BEEN AROUND FOR 10 OR

12 YEARS.

AND IT WAS AN OBVIOUS

MOVIE IDEA, A BIG MOVIE

IDEA, BUT A REALLY DAUNTLY

AND CHALLENGING ONE.

AND I HAD WORKED ON THE

WATER, AND THAT'S ALWAYS

SOMETHING TO BE VERY

RESPECTFUL OF.

IT IS A HUGE CHALLENGE.

AND THEN I FOUND OUT IT

WAS BASED ON REAL EVENTS.

SO I LIKED THE SCRIPT.

AND THEN I FOUND OUT THAT

IT WAS INSPIRED BY TRUTH.

AND I WENT BACK AND

LEARNED MORE ABOUT THE

ACTUAL STORY.

I LIKED THE WAY THAT THE

SCRIPT HAD ADAPTED IT AND

SHAPED IT INTO A MOVIE

NARRATIVE.

AND I WAS REALLY -- PARDON

THE PUN -- I WAS HOOKED.

Efrem: THE MEN WERE

SHIPWRECKED MORE THAN A

THOUSAND MILES FROM LAND.

WHAT DO YOU THINK THIS

STORY SAYS ABOUT THE FRAL

TEE OFRAILTY OF MAN AND THE

ENDURANCE OF MAN?

I DON'T THINK I COULD

HAVE SURVIVED.

I REMEMBER TALKING TO

PEOPLE ABOUT IT.

IN FACT, WE HAD A MAN WHO

HAD SURVIVED FOR 76 DAYS

AT SEA, STEVE HAL HANAHAN, AND

HE WROTE THE BOOK

"ADRIFT," AND HE IS A

FANTASTIC GUY AND A

WORLD-CLASS SAILOR.

AND SO HE HELPED IN SOME

OF THE STORM SCENES AND

THINGS LIKE THAT.

STEVE, AS HE BEGAN TO

LEARN THE FACTS OF THIS

STORY, HE WAS STUNNED THAT

THOSE MEN HAD SURVIVED.

Efrem: IN A SMALL

WAY, HEMSWORTH AND THE

FILM'S CAST TASTED WHAT IT

TOOK TO SURVIVE.

TELL ME ABOUT THE WEIGHT

LOSS JOURNEY.

I THINK OF MY SON SEEING

YOU AS "THOR," AND WHAT

WE'RE USED TO SEEING AND

THEN I SAW IN THE FILM.

WHAT WAS THAT JOURNEY LIKE

FOR YOU.

YOU?

IT WAS PRETTY TOUGH.

WE STARTED THE FILM AT

3,000 CALORIES, AND

DWINDLED DOWN TO ABOUT 500

OR 600 BY THE END OF THE

SHOOT.

IT WAS ONE OF THE TOUGHEST

THINGS I'VE DONE, BUT

ABSOLUTELY ESSENTIAL FOR

US TO EMPATHIZE WITH WHAT

THESE GUYS WENT THROUGH TO

GIVE A TRUTHFUL PORTRAYAL

OF THEIR EXPERIENCE.

THERE WAS NO ACTING

REQUIRED.

WE FELT EXHAUSTED AND BEAT

TO HELL AND STARVING.

Efrem: THIS IS A

REAL-LIFE ADVENTURE STORY.

BUT ITS

ACADEMY-AWARD-WINNING

DIRECTOR SAID IT IS ALSO

AN AMBITIOUS FILM.

> ONE OF THE THINGS THAT

TOUCHED ME IN THE FILM,

WHEN THEY HAVE LITERALLY

NEXT TO NOTHING, MAYBE A

CRACKER, AND THEY STILL

PAUSED TO GIVE THANKS TO

GOD.

THAT WAS INSPIRED BY

REAL EVENTS IN THE BOOK,

IN AN ACCOUNT.

AND THAT MAN, THAT

CHARACTER, WAS -- HE

WASN'T A MINISTER, WASN'T

A PREACHER, BUT HE WAS A

VERY DEVOUT GUY, RELIGIOUS

MAN, AND HE SORT OF BECAME

THE RELIGIOUS LEADER.

Efrem: THERE IS

CERTAINLY NO SHORTAGE OF

FAITH IN A SURVIVOR'S

SURVIVOR'S 90-DAY JOURNEY

AT SEA.

EFREM GRAHAM, CBN NEWS,

NEW YORK.

Gordon: LOOKS LIKE IT

WILL BE A BLOCKBUSTER.

"IN THE HEART OF THE SEA"

OPENS IN THEATERS ACROSS

THE COUNTRY TODAY.

AND YOU CAN SEE BOTH OF

EFREM'S INTERVIEWS ON

cbnnews.com.

TERRY?

Terry: IT LOOKS GOOD.

> WELL, UP NEXT, A WOMAN

REMEMBERS HER GLORY DAYS

AS A YOUNG ACTRESS IN

HOLLYWOOD.

LIVING IN MALIBU, ON

THE BEACH.

NICOLLETTE SHERIDAN IS

UPSTAIRS.

AND WE WOULD HANG OUT

TOGETHER ON THE OCEAN, AND

LIFE COULDN'T GET ANY

BETTER.

Terry: BUT IT COULD

GET A WHOLE LOT WORSE, AND

IT DOES.

SEE HOW A SHAME-FILLED

SECRET BRINGS THIS ACTRESS

TO HER KNEES.

Terry: DANA CASPER

WAS A YOUNG ACTRESS LIVING

THE GLAMOROUS, HOLLYWOOD

LIFE.

BUT SOON SHE REALIZED NOT

ALL THAT GLITTERS IS TRULY

GOLD.

I'M IN HOLLYWOOD, I'M

IN THE THICK OF IT.

I'M LIVING IN MALIBU ON

THE BEACH, NICOLLETTE

SHERIDAN AND LEIF GARRETT

ARE UPSTAIRS, AND LIFE

COULDN'T GET ANY BETTER.

Reporter: DANA CASPER

WAS LIVING HER DREAM.

BUT BEHIND THE SCENES OF

HER GLAMOROUS WORLD OF

ACTING, DANA HAD A SECRET.

ABANDONED BY HER FATHER AS

A BABY AND RAISED BY A

SINGLE MOM, SHE SPENT HER

CHILDHOOD IN THE CARE OF

BABY-SITTERS.

AFTER SWIMMING ONE DAY,

YOU KNOW, HE ASKED ME TO

FOLLOW HIM INTO HIS

BEDROOM FOR NAP TIME.

AND I REALLY DIDN'T KNOW

WHAT WAS TAKING PLACE

BECAUSE I THOUGHT THIS

PERSON WAS WONDERFUL, AND

HE WAS A GOOD FRIEND OF

THE FAMILY.

AND SOMEONE I LOOKED UP TO

AND EXPECTED TO KEEP ME

SAFE.

AND INSTEAD HE HARMED ME

SEXUALLY.

Reporter: A YEAR

LATER, DANA FELT PREY TO

ANOTHER ABUSER.

AFTERWARDS I FELT GREAT

GUILT AND SHAME.

IT WAS THE HUGE SHIFT IN

MY HEART.

IT IS WHEN MY WORLD

REALLY, LIKE, TURNED

UPSIDE DOWN.

Reporter: TO EASE THE

PAIN OF HER ABUSE, DANA

ESCAPED INTO THE WORLD OF

TELEVISION AND FILM.

YOU DON'T WANT TO BE

THERE, SO YOU TRY TO BE

SOMEWHERE ELSE.

AND I WAS -- I PERFECTED

DISASSOCIATION OF BEING

SOMEWHERE ELSE.

I COULD BE WHOEVER I

WANTED TO BE.

I COULD BE THE ACTOR ON

TV.

I COULD BE JULIE ANDREWS

IN "SOUND OF MUSIC" WITH

ALL OF THE KIDS AND SING

LIKE HER AND I COULD RUN

ON THE MEADOWS.

AND EVERYTHING PURE AND

GOOD, AND I HELD ON TO

THAT.

Reporter: BUT THAT

ESCAPE WAS ONLY TEMPORARY,

SO SHE TURNED TO OTHER

THINGS TO EASE THE PAIN.

I STARTED EXPERIMENTING

WITH DRUGS, ALCOHOL,

HANGING OUT, YOU KNOW,

WITH PEOPLE EVERYWHERE.

Reporter: AFTER HIGH

SCHOOL, DANA MOVED TO

HOLLYWOOD TO WORK IN THE

FILM INDUSTRY.

IT WAS THE PERFECT PLACE

TO BURY THE SHAME AND

GUILT SHE CARRIED.

I DIDN'T HAVE TO THINK

ABOUT ME.

AND THEN TO BE IN THAT,

WHERE EVERYTHING IS

PRETENT, IT WAS A GOOD

PLACE FOR ME TO CONTINUE

THE PRETEND.

BECAUSE IF I LET IT OUT, I

WOULD BE FOUND OUT FOR THE

BADNESS THAT I WAS.

AND THEN I WOULD BE

REJECTED AGAIN AND

ABANDONED AGAIN, AND NOT

BE LOVED.

Reporter: DANA

QUICKLY FOUND SUCCESS IN

TINSELTOWN.

AS SHE EMBRACED THE

HOLLYWOOD LIFESTYLE, SHE

FELL HEAD-LONG INTO DRUGS

AND ALCOHOL ABUSE AND

SOMETHING MORE.

I WORKED AT ABC MOTION

PICTURES, AND WENT TO ALL

OF THE PARTIES, AND WORKED

AT 20th CENTURY FOX FOR

YEARS IN PUBLICITY AND

PROMOTION, THINKING THAT

WOULD MAKE ME HAPPY.

YOU KNOW, OH, GOSH, IF

YOU'RE IN THE MOVIE

BUSINESS, IF YOU'RE IN

HOLLYWOOD, IF YOU'RE

WORKING AT FOX AND YOU'RE

WITH SOMEBODY THAT'S

IMPORTANT, YOU'RE GOING TO

BE HAPPY.

BUT THEY'RE PASSING

COCAINE UNDERNEATH THE

TABLE AT BUSINESS LUNCHES.

SO IT DROVE ME DEEPER INTO

DEPRAVITY, INSTEAD OF OF

BEING ANY KIND OF

LIFELINE.

Reporter: THEN DANA

BECAME PREGNANT.

SHE DECIDED TO HAVE AN

ABORTION.

SHE QUICKLY REGRETTED THAT

DECISION.

I REMEMBER THE GUY

CALLING THE HOSPITAL AFTER

IT HAPPENED, WHEN I'M IN

RECOVERY, AND JUST FEELING

LIKE, YOU KNOW, OH, GOD,

JUST LET ME DIE.

THAT'S HOW I FELT.

I JUST WANTED TO DIE.

Reporter: LATER DANA

GOT INTO A RELATIONSHIP

AND BECAME PREGNANT AGAIN.

BUT A WEEK BEFORE SHE

FOUND OUT, SOME FRIENDS

TALKED HER INTO TAKING

L.S.D.

THIS TIME DOCTORS TAIKD TALKED

HER INTO AN ABORTION.

DANA HAD HAD ENOUGH.

ONE NIGHT SHE FELL ON HER

KNEES IN DESPERATION.

I JUST WANTED TO END

LIFE.

SO I'M ON MY KNEES AND I'M

HYSTERICAL AND I JUST

WANTED TO END IT AND I

CRIED OUT TO THE LORD,

PLEASE HELP ME.

HE HEARD THE DEPTHS OF MY

HEART AND KNEW I NEEDED

HELP.

Reporter: DANA SAYS

FOR THE FIRST TIME SHE HAD

HOPE.

SHE WENT THROUGH A.A., AND

WITH GOD'S HELP PUT AWAY

DRUGS AND ALCOHOL.

AND SHE ALSO FORGAVE HER

ABUSERS, AND RECEIVED

GOD'S HEALING,

FORGIVENESS, AND LOVE.

I DIDN'T WANT TO DRINK.

LIKE, I DIDN'T WANT TO

DRINK, WHICH IS REMARKABLE

BECAUSE I LOVE TO BE

SOCIAL AND DRINK.

AND THAT WAS THE BEGINNING

OF WALKING OUT OF THE PIT

OF HELL.

Reporter: TODAY DANA

IS MARRIED AND HAS TWO

DAUGHTERS.

SHE IS AN ADVOCATE FOR

VICTIMS OF SEXUAL ABUSE.

THE LOVE SHE FOUND THROUGH

JESUS CHRIST HAS GIVEN HER

PEACE.

HE SAW IN MY HEART TO

RECEIVE HIS LOVE.

AND THAT HELPS ME LOVE

MYSELF AND THAT HELPS ME

LOVE OTHERS.

IN THE STORM OF LIFE, HE

IS THE ROCK.

IT WILL BE THE SWEETEST

LIFE YOU'VE EVER LIVED.

IF YOU WANT TO WEIGH THE

ROAD TO JOY.

Terry: YOU KNOW, WE

ARE CREATED BEAUTIFULLY

AND UNIQUELY IN THE IMAGE

AND LIKENESS OF GOD.

AND WE WERE CREATED TO

LIVE IN A GARDEN WITH HIM,

WALKING THROUGH THE GARDEN

IN THE COOL OF THE

EVENING, COMMUNICATING

WITH HIM.

AND THEN LIFE HAPPENS.

AND, YOU KNOW, ALL OF LIFE

IS A SEARCH FOR EACH ONE

OF US, I BELIEVE, UNTIL WE

FIND IT, BACK TO THE

FATHER HEART OF GOD.

BACK TO THAT RELATIONSHIP

THAT DEFINES WHO WE ARE

AND WHO HE IS, AND WHAT WE

WERE CREATED FOR.

SO MANY THINGS CAN HAPPEN

IN A LIFE, LIKE HAPPENED

TO DANA.

NOT HER FAULT, BUT THEY

CREATE SO MANY PROBLEMS

AND ISSUES AND LOSSES.

AND EVEN ADDICTIONS

BECAUSE WE KEEP TRYING TO

FIX IT OURSELVES.

WE KEEP TRYING TO FILL THE

WHOLE, KEEP TRYING TO

FIGURE OUT THE WHY BEHIND

IT.

WE KEEP TRYING TO FEEL

LIKE WE ARE ENOUGH, THAT

WE ARE WORTHY TO BE LOVED,

WHEN ALL THE WHILE WE ARE

LOVED ANYWAY.

NOT BECAUSE WE'RE WORTHY

BUT BECAUSE OF GOD'S

AMAZING LOVE AND GRACE AND

MERCY.

AND HE WAITS.

AND HE WAITS.

YOU KNOW, THE GREATEST

THING ABOUT DANA'S STORY

IS THAT SHE WAS REDEEMED.

THE GOD WHO LOVED HER,

FINALLY WHEN SHE STOPPED

TRYING TO FILL IT AND BE

IT ALL AND DO IT ALL AND

FIND WHAT SHE WAS LOOKING

FOR, IN HER DESPERATION

SHE CRIED OUT.

YOU KNOW, GOD WAITS FOR US

TO ASK HIM.

HE DOESN'T FORCE HIMSELF

ON US.

IT IS A RELATIONSHIP.

RELATIONSHIP IS A TWO-WAY

STREET, AND SO HE WAITS

FOR US TO SAY, GOD, I WANT

YOU.

BECAUSE HAS ALREADY SHOWN

THAT HE WANTS US.

THAT'S WHAT JESUS WAS, THE

PICTURE OF GOD'S LOVE AND

SACRIFICE FOR ANYONE WHO

WILL SAY YES, I CHOOSE

YOU, GOD.

HE HAS ALREADY CHOSEN US.

IF YOU ARE IN A PIT OF

HELL TODAY, AS DANA SAID

SHE WAS, YOU FEEL LOST,

YOU'RE ALONE, YOU'VE MADE

TERRIBLE CHOICES, CHOICES

YOU REGRET, THAT HAVE LEFT

YOU WITH A LOT OF GUILT

AND SHAME, THINGS THAT

HAVE BEEN DONE TO YOU THAT

HAVEN'T BEEN YOUR FAULT,

BUT HAVE LEFT YOU WITH A

LOT OF GUILT AND SHAME,

YOU CAN HAVE A FEW

BEGINNING.

IF ANY MAN OR WOMAN IS IN

CHRIST, THEY BECOME A

BRAND NEW CREATION.

ALL THINGS PASS AWAY AND

ALL THINGS BECOME BRAND

NEW.

HOW DO YOU GET THAT?

IT MAY SEEM LIKE YOUR PIT

IS SO DEEP THAT YOU CAN'T

COME OUT OF IT, AND ON

YOUR OWN YOU PROBABLY

CAN'T.

BUT GOD HIMSELF REACHES

DOWN INTO THE MESS THAT WE

FIND OURSELVES MIRED IN.

AND THE BIBLE SAYS HE

LIFTS US UP AND PULLS US

OUT AND SETS OUR FEET ON A

ROCK, THE ROCK OF JESUS

CHRIST.

YOU CAN FIND LOVE,

FORGIVENESS, ACCEPTANCE,

AND A BRAND NEW BEGINNING.

IT IS ALL ABOUT JESUS, WHO

PAID THE PRICE FOR YOU AND

FOR ME.

HE ALREADY SAW ALL OF THIS

IN YOUR LIFE.

DON'T STAY WHERE YOU ARE.

DON'T PASS BY AN

INHERITANCE THAT WAS MEANT

FOR YOU.

SAY YES TODAY.

JUST GO TO HIM AND SAY,

JESUS, I GET IT.

YOUR DEATH ON THE CROSS

WAS FOR ME.

AND TODAY I AM A SINNER.

I HAVE ALL OF THESE THINGS

IN MY LIFE THAT NEED TO BE

RESOLVED, TAKEN CARE OF,

Gordon: IN THE

PHILIPPINES -- WE'RE GOING

TO GO HALF WAY AROUND THE

WORLD.

IN THE PHILIPPINES,

9-YEAR-OLD ELAINE IS

WORKING ON A SPECIAL ART

PROJECT, AND IS TEACHING

OTHER CHILDREN THE STORIES

OF THE BIBLE.

IT IS INSPIRED BY CBN'S

"SUPERBOOK."

Reporter: 9-YEAR-OLD

ELAINE LOOKS FORWARD TO

SATURDAYS BECAUSE THAT'S

THE DAY SHE GETS TO WORK

ON HER ART PROJECTS.

I ENJOY MOLDING CLAY

INTO FRUITS AND ANIMALS.

AND I'M ALWAYS EXCITED TO

SEE THE DIFFERENT FIGURES

MY HANDS CAN CREATE.

Reporter: ONE

SATURDAY SHE TOOK A BREAK

FROM HER ARTWORK TO WATCH

AN EPISODE OF CBN'S

"SUPERBOOK."

MANY OF HER KIDS FROM HER

NEIGHBORHOOD WENT TO A

NEARBY CBN OFFICE TO

WATCH.

I HAVE HEARD THE STORY

OF ADAM AND EVE BEFORE,

BUT WATCHING IT ON

"SUPERBOOK" WAS MUCH

BETTER.

I LEARNED LESSONS ABOUT

THE IMPORTANCE OF OBEYING

OUR PARENTS.

Reporter: BACK HOME,

ELAINE COULDN'T STOP

THINKING ABOUT THAT

"SUPERBOOK" EPISODE, AND

DECIDED TO CREATE THE

CREATION STORY OUT OF

CLAY.

I FOLLOWED THE ORDER

THAT GOD CREATED

EVERYTHING, THE SKY AND

DAY AND NIGHT AND THEN HE

MADE MEN.

I DID IT TO REMIND MYSELF

TO OBEY.

Reporter: AS ELAINE

WATCHED MORE "SUPERBOOK"

EPISODES, SOMETHING ELSE

HAPPENED.

I REMEMBER WHEN JESUS

WAS NAILED ON THE CROSS,

EVEN THOUGH HE DIDN'T DO

ANYTHING WRONG.

I SAW HOW MUCH HE LOVED

US.

I WANTED TO TELL OTHERS

WHAT JESUS DID TO SAVE US.

Reporter: SO SHE

CREATED MORE CLAY FIGURES

FROM THE BIBLE AND INVITED

OTHER KIDS TO WATCH

"SUPERBOOK," TOO.

I WANTED THEM TO SEE

"SUPERBOOK."

AND THEN I PRAYED WITH

SOME OF THEM, AND THEY

ASKED JESUS TO FORGIVE

THEM AND TO COME INTO

THEIR HEARTS.

Reporter: FOUR OF

THOSE CHILDREN WHO PRAYED

WITH ELAINE ARE NOW GOING

TO CHURCH WITH HER FAMILY.

I AM GRATEFUL THAT

THOSE WHO CREATEED CREATED

"SUPERBOOK" BECAUSE IT

GIVES ME A PICTURE OF THE

STORIES OF THE BIBLE AND

SO I CAN TELL OTHERS ABOUT

IT.

THANK YOU, CBN.

TERRY?

Terry: WELL,

CHRISTMAS IS A TIME OF

MORE OR LESS, AND FOR

REBECCA AND TED RYAN, THAT

MEANS TWO WORDS, CHARLOTTE

LOVE.

SHE IS THEIR DAUGHTER WHO

WAS BORN FOUR MONTHS

PREMATURE, AND CHRISTMAS

WAS THE DAY HER YOUNG LIFE

TURNED AROUND.

IT CAME AS A COMPLETE

SURPRISE.

THE FIRST TWO PREGNANCIES

WERE FAIRLY NORMAL, AND

THIS WAS ANYTHING BUT

NORMAL.

YOU FEEL LIKE YOU'RE BEING

DRIVEN TO THE EDGE OF THE

CLIFF, AND YOU DON'T KNOW

WHAT COMES NEXT.

YOU'RE WIFE HAS BEEN

HEMORRHAGING, AND YOU'RE

LOOKING AT POTENTIALLY

HAVING A PHYSICALLY

HANDICAPPED BABY.

I'M SITTING THERE HOLDING

BECCA'S HAND.

AND IT WAS VERY HARD.

I WOKE UP AT, LIKE,

2:00 IN THE MORNING AND

FELT THIS GUSH.

I THOUGHT MAYBE MY WATER

HAD BROKEN.

BECCA SHOOK ME AWAKE

AND SAID, I'M BLEEDING.

I WAS JUST 23 AND A

HALF WEEKS.

AND I LOOKED DOWN AND I

WAS JUST COVERED.

THE BED IS JUST A POOL OF

BLOOD, AND COVERED IN

BLOOD.

WE TOOK OFF, GOT TO THE

HOSPITAL, PULLED IN, GOT

BECCA CHECKED IN.

WE DID A SONOGRAM AND

EVERYTHING LOOKED FINE.

THEY TOLD US IT WAS A GIRL

FOR SURE.

SO WE THOUGHT, OH, GOOD,

CHARLOTTE LOVE, AND WE

STARTED PRAYING FOR HER

IMMEDIATELY.

THEY HAD A SPECIALIST COME

IN AND DO A SONOGRAM.

AND HE SAID WE NEED TO

HAVE A SERIOUS

CONVERSATION ABOUT WHAT

YOU'RE GOING TO DO WITH

THE PREGNANCY.

DO YOU WANT US TO TRY

TO SAVE THIS BABY OR DO

YOU WANT TO JUST LET IT

GO?

I DIDN'T EVEN BLINK.

OF COURSE WE WANTED TO

WORK TO TRY TO SAVE THE

BABY.

IT WENT TO WE'LL TRY TO

GET CHARLOTTE SAY THERE

FOR 30 WEEKS, AND THEN

WE'RE SHOOTING FOR 26

WEEKS, AND THEN IT GOT TO

BE WE'RE SHOOTING FOR A

FEW MORE DAYS.

THEY KEPT COMING IN AND

SAYING, HERE ARE THE ODDS.

IF YOU'RE BABY LIVES,

THESE ARE THE ODDS OF

POTENTIAL BRAIN DAMAGE,

BLEEDING ON THE BRAIN, AND

THERE IS A-AND-A-HALF

CHANCA SIGNIFICANTCHANCE OF THEM TAKING

PLACE.

I PRAYED THAT GOD WOULD

KEEP HER SAFE.

YOU START THINKING

THROUGH IT, AND YOU START

THINKING, IT'S NOT THE

UNKNOWN.

HE KNOWS.

HE IS EITHER GOD OR HE

ISN'T GOD.

AND IF HE IS GOD, IT IS

TAKING HIS HAND AND TAKING

THE NEXT STEP.

THAT NIGHT I STARTED

HEMORRHAGING AND THEY

SAID, THIS DOESN'T LOOK

GOOD.

YOU MIGHT HAVE THE BABY IN

THE NEXT COUPLE OF HOURS.

THEY SHOWED US THAT I HAD

BLOOD CLOTS AND IT WAS

AFFECTING THE BABY AND

CAUSING TRAUMA.

AND MY WATER HAD BROKEN

OVER THE NIGHT.

AND THEY SAID, WE NEED TO

TAKE THE BABY NOW.

SHE WAS BORN AT EXACTLY

24 WEEKS.

NOTHING PREPARED ME FOR

HOW TINY SHE WAS AND JUST

HER SKIN WAS JUST

TRANSLUCENT.

AND I WAS JUST SO

HELPLESS, THE FEELING, SO

HELPLESS.

PUTTING MY HAND IN

THERE AND HER HAND WAS SO

TINY IT WOULDN'T FIT

AROUND MY FOREFINGER.

I DIDN'T REALIZE A BABY

COULD BE BORN THAT SMALL

AND WOULD HAVE A CHANCE.

THE DAY SHE WAS BORN, I

TOOK MY WEDDING RING OFF

AND PUT IT AROUND HER

UPPER ARM AND THERE WAS

ROOM TO SPARE, A LOT OF

ROOM TO SPARE.

THE NIC UNIT IS ONE BIG

ROLLER COASTER RIDE.

CONSTANT PRAYER AND

CONSTANT QUESTIONING.

I'M NOT GOING TO LIE.

I DON'T UNDERSTAND.

IT'S IN YOUR CONTROL, BUT

THERE IS ALWAYS THAT

HUMAN, I WANT TO

UNDERSTAND, AND YOU DON'T.

I HAD TO TOTALLY RELY

ON GOD.

AND I WAS IN THE WORD

EVERY DAY.

I WAS SOBBING AND CRYING

OUT TO HIM, HELP ME GET

THROUGH THIS.

I WAS CONSTANTLY

PRAYING FOR BECCA AND

CHARLOTTE.

YEAH, IT WAS A RUNNING

DIALOGUE.

MORE THAN ONE OCCASION,

ALARMS GOING OFF, AND

DOCTORS AND NURSES COMING

IN AND OPENING THE TOP OF

HER INCUBATOR AND COMING

IN AND GIVING HER BREATHE

THEE TREATMENTS.

BREATHING TREATMENTS.

AND THIS IS REALLY SCARY.

MOM, GET OUT OF THE WAY.

JUST THAT HELPLESS

FEELING.

SO EVERY DAY UP UNTIL

CHRISTMAS WAS KIND OF LIKE

THAT.

WHAT AM I GOING TO EXPECT

TODAY IN THE NIC UNIT?

YOU HAVE TO TRUST THAT

WHATEVER HAPPENS, JUST

LIVE IN THE MOMENT AND

ENJOY THE TIME THAT YOU

HAVE.

SHE HAD BEEN ON THE

VENT THE ENTIRE TIME.

AND IT WAS DISCOURAGING.

THEY SAY AFTER A CERTAIN

AMOUNT OF TIME ON THE

VENT, LUNG DAMAGE, EYE

DAMAGE, ALL OF THESE

THINGS, AND THE ODDS

INCREASE.

CHRISTMAS DAY WAS

REALLY THE TURNAROUND

POINT BECAUSE THAT WAS THE

DAY THAT SHE CAME OFF THE

VENTILATOR.

SHE DIDN'T LOOK TO HAVE

ANY LONG-TERM BRAIN

DAMAGE.

AND HER EYES WERE STARTING

TO CLEAR UP.

THAT WAS KIND OF THE

TURNING POINT AS FAR AS

WHEN I FELT LIKE SHE WAS

GOING TO BE OKAY.

SHE WAS BORN

NOVEMBER 4th, AND WE GOT

TO BRING HER HOME MARCH

6th.

SO SHE WAS IN THERE FOUR

MONTHS AND A COUPLE OF

DAYS.

WE BROUGHT HER HOME ON A

HEART AND BREATHING

MONITOR, BUT TO BE ABLE TO

WALK OUT OF THE HOSPITAL

WITH HER IN HER LITTLE CAR

BED AND REALIZE THE FOUR

MONTHS PLUS, IT WAS

FINALLY OVER.

LOOKING AT HER NOW,

EVERYBODY, AND EVEN THE

DOCTORS -- ESPECIALLY THE

DOCTORS THAT SEE THOSE

BABIES -- ARE JUST AMAZED.

WE WOULD KNOW THAT THIS

LITTLE GIRL WAS BORN FOUR

MONTHS PREMATURE, AND YOU

WOULD NEVER KNOW IT NOW.

SHE IS A TRUE TESTIMONY

OF GOD'S POWER AND THE

POWER OF PRAYER.

WE HAD SO MANY PEOPLE

PRAYING FOR US WHEN SHE

WAS IN THE NIC UNIT.

THE ODDS OF EYE DAMAGE,

LUNG DAMAGE, BLEEDING ON

THE BRAIN -- AND THERE WAS

NEVER ONCE ANY OF THOSE.

IT'S A MIRACLE.

SEEING HER IN THE NIC

UNIT, EVEN IF I WANTED TO,

I COULDN'T SAY THAT ANY

MOMENT THAT I HAD CONTROL

OVER ANY OF THAT.

THAT WAS GOD'S WORKING IN

HER LIFE.

IT WAS A MIRACLE AND IT

WAS GOD'S WORK.

JUST GIVING IT TO GOD

EVERY DAY AND TAKING YOUR

REQUESTS TO HIM AND TAKING

ONE DAY AT A TIME.

WHEN ASKED, WHAT DID

YOU LEARN, WHAT ARE SOME

ARE THE THINGS THAT HAVE

COME OUT OF THIS: I STILL

BELIEVE MIRACLES HAPPEN.

I STILL BELIEVE THEY

HAPPEN; I SAW ONE.

Terry: WE BELIEVE

MIRACLES HAPPEN, TOO.

TODAY IF YOU NEED ONE, WE

WANT TO PRAY FOR YOU.

WE'VE BEEN ASKING YOU IF

YOU'RE "700 CLUB"

PARTNERS, AND EVEN IF YOUR

NOT, TO CALL AND GET THESE

SO YOU CAN SEND IN YOUR

PRAYER REQUESTS.

I HAVE A PRAYER REQUEST

HERE FOR SOMEONE ASKING

FOR SALVATION FOR MY LARGE

FAMILY, ALONG WITH THREE

GREAT-GRANDKIDS.

SOMEBODY SAYING, I NEED

RESTORED HELP AFTER A

STROKE.

SOMEONE ELSE NEEDS A

FINANCIAL MIRACLE.

AND SOMEONE SAYS, FOR MY

HUSBAND TO RETURN HOME BY

CHRISTMAS FROM THE NURSING

HOME.

Gordon: I HAVE VISION

TO BE RESTORED.

THEY'RE HAVING RETINA

PROBLEMS.

AND STRENGTH AND HEALING

AFTER RECENT SURGERY.

FOR A DAUGHTER TO GET A

GOOD JOB WITH BENEFITS.

AND THEN FAMILY

RESTORATION.

LET'S TAKE ALL OF THESE TO

THE LORD.

IF YOU WANT TO BE A PART

OF IT, IF YOU WANT TO HAVE

YOUR PRAYER REQUEST PRAYED

OVER, ALL YOU HAVE TO DO

IS CALL US.

YOU CAN ALSO LOG ON TO

cbn.com.

THE NUMBER IS TOLL-FREE.

IT IS OUR HONOR AND

PRIVILEGE TO PRAY WITH

YOU.

1-800-759-0700.

PWATCHING THAT STORY,

REALIZE WE ARE FEARFULLY

AND WONDERFULLY MADE.

WHEN THE DOCTORS SAY IT IS

IMPOSSIBLE, THAT'S WHEN

GOD CAN STEP IN AND SAY,

NO, IT'S POSSIBLE.

IT'S POSSIBLE.

LET'S GO TO THE ONE WHO

FEARFULLY AND WONDERFULLY

MADE YOU?

IF YOU'RE HAVING TROUBLE

IN YOUR BODY, RIGHT NOW,

IN AN ACT OF FAITH, LAY

YOUR HAND ON THAT AREA

THAT NEEDS HEALING.

AND LET'S GO TO THE MAKER

OF US ALL AND SAY, DADDY,

WILL YOU PLACE COME AND

HEAL TODAY.

IT'S THAT SIMPLE.

WE GET TO GO BOLDLY TO THE

THRONE OF GRACE BECAUSE OF

WHAT JESUS DID FOR US ON

THE CROSS.

HE DIED SO THAT WE COULD

HAVE ACCESS TO THE FATHER.

WE CAN GO TO HIM AND

RECEIVE AN ANSWER.

SO LET'S PRAY.

LORD, WE JUST LIFT THE

NEEDS OF THE AUDIENCE TO

YOU RIGHT NOW.

AND WE ASK FOR STRENGTH.

WE ASK FOR HEALING.

WE ASK FOR DELIVERS RANS.

DELIVERANCE.

WE ASK FOR RESTORATION.

WE ASK BOLDLY BECAUSE YOU

HAVE ENABLED US TO DO

THAT.

YOUR GRACE, YOUR MERCY,

ENABLES US TO COME BEFORE

YOU AND ASK, SO WE DO.

AND WE AGREE WITH THOSE

WHO ARE LAYING HANDS.

WE COME INTO AGREEMENT,

AND YOUR WORD SAYS IF TWO

OR MORE AGREE TOUCHING

ANYTHING, IT SHALL BE

DONE.

SO WE TRUST YOUR UNFAILING

LOVE.

WE TRUST YOUR SACRIFICE.

AND WE ASK FOR IT NOW IN

JESUS' NAME.

THERE IS SOMEONE LAYING

YOUR HAND ON YOUR LEFT

KNEE, AND GOD HEARD YOUR

PRAYER AND HE IS RESTORING

IT.

YOU JUST FELT A JOLT GO

THROUGH THAT KNEE AS GOD

IS TOUCHING IT.

BEGIN TO DO WHAT YOU

COULDN'T DO BEFORE.

SOMEONE ELSE, YOU INJURED

THE RIGHT SIDE OF YOUR

NECK, AND IT'S IN THE

BACK, AND GOD IS HEALING

THAT AND RESTORING THAT.

THE MUSCLE IS JUST

RELAXING NOW IN JESUS'

NAME.

ALL OF THE VERTEBRA ARE

COMING INTO PROPER

ALIGNMENT NOW.

Terry: THERE IS

SOMEONE WITH A FORM OF

ECZEMA IN YOUR HEAD, EVEN

BEHIND YOUR EARS, BOTH

PAINFUL AND ITCHING AT THE

SAME TIME.

GOD IS HEALING THAT FOR

YOU.

COMPLETELY RECEIVE IT.

Gordon: AMEN AND

AMEN.

IF YOU'VE BEEN TOUCHED,

GIVE US A CALL.

WE WANT TO SHARE YOUR

STORY, 1-800-759-0700.

HERE IS A WORD FROM

JEREMIAH: "FOR I WILL

RESTORE HEALTH TO YOU AND

HEAL YOU OF YOUR WOUNDS."

GOD BLESS YOU.
