THIS WEEK ON "CHRISTIAN

WORLD NEWS," THROUGHOUT

HISTORY, CHRISTIANS HAVE

BEEN ON THE LOOK OUT FOR

THE ANTI-CHRIST.

NOW AUTHOR AND PASTOR

MICHAEL YOUCEF MAKES A

COMPELLING CASE.

Wendy: PLUS, A

REVIVAL THAT STARTED MORE

THAN 100 YEARS AGO.

IT IS ABOUT TO REIGNITE.

HERE IS A MAN WHO IS

CALLING AMERICA TO BE

READY TO CATCH THE COMING

WAVE.

George: AND MEDAL OF

HONOR WINNER, MEET THE

NAVY SEAL WHO SAVED AN

AMERICAN MISSIONS WORKER

FROM THE TALIBAN.

EHELLO, EVERYONE, AND

WELCOME TO HIS WEEK'S

EDITION OF "CHRISTIAN

WORLD NEWS."

I'M GEORGE THOMAS.

Wendy: AND I'M WENDY

GRIFFITH.

WELL, IT IS A QUESTION

THAT CHRISTIANS HAVE BEEN

ASKING FOR CENTURIES: WHO

WILL BE THE ANTI-CHRIST?

George: ONE POPULAR

PASTOR ARGUES IN A NEW

BOOK THAT THIS FALSE

MESSIAH OF THE END TIMES

WILL BE A MUSLIM.

PAUL STRAND BRINGS US THAT

STORY.

Reporter: OVER THE

CENTURIES, PEOPLE HAVE

GUESSED WRONG AGAIN AND

AGAIN OF THE ANTI-CHRIST,

THAT ULTRA VIOLENT WORLD

DICTATOR WOULD SOON

APPEAR.

BUT DR. MICHAEL YOUCEF

BELIEVES ONLY NOW ARE

CONDITIONS SET FOR THE

COMING OF THAT EVIL ONE.

WHAT DR. YOUCEF FOUND IS

HOW WHAT IS GOING ON IN

OUR WORLD RIGHT NOW IS

LEADING STRAIGHT TOWARDS

THOSE EVENTS PROPHESIED IN

THE BOOK OF REVELATIONS.

I CAME WITH THE

CONCLUSION THAT WE ARE

COMING INTO THE PERIOD OF

TIME, LIKE WE HAVE NEVER

SEEN BEFORE IN HISTORY.

Reporter: YOUCEF

DEEPLY LOVES THE ISLAMIC

PEOPLE, BUT BELIEVES THAT

ISLAM IS HURTLING TOWARDS

THE ANTI-CHRIST.

HE WILL LURE THE WORLD

INTO BELIEVING HIM, EVEN

WORSHIPPING HIM AS THE

MESSIAH, BUT HE WILL END

UP ABUSING HUMANITY LIKE

NEVER BEFORE.

Reporter: ALONGSIDE

THE BIBLE'S REVELATIONS

ALONG THE ANTI-CHRIST, HIS

CONCLUSION...

CHRISTIANS KNOW HIM AS

THE ANTI-CHRIST.

SUNNI MUSLIMS KNOW HIM AS

THE MUSLIM CHRIST.

SHI'ITE MUSLIMS KNOW HIM

AS THE MAHDI.

Reporter: HE QUOTES

MUSLIM SCHOLARS ON WHAT

ISLAM PREACHES ABOUT THEIR

MESSIAH.

THEIR MESSIAH COMES.

HE IS GOING O T TO COVER THE

WHOLE WORLD.

HE WILL RULE THE WHOLE

WORLD.

HE WILL DECLARE HIMSELF TO

BE A MUSLIM AND HE WILL

TURN ON THE CHRISTIANS AND

THE JEWS.

THE BIBLE SAYS THE

ANTI-CHRIST WILL COME AND

TURN ON THE CHRISTIANS AND

THE JEWS.

Reporter: AND OTHER

PARALLELS?

HE WILL CALL HIMSELF

THE KING OF PEACE, AND

PEOPLE WILL WANT HIM TO

BRING THEM PEACE BECAUSE

THEY WILL BE WARN OUT.

Reporter: AND THEY

SAY THIS FIGURE OF PEACE

WILL TURN HYPER VIOLENT.

HE IS GOING TO BEGIN TO

PERSECUTE PEOPLE.

HE WILL DEMAND THEIR

WORSHIP.

AND THE SAME THING ON THE

OTHER SIDE.

HE WILL KILL EVERYBODY WHO

DOES NOT WORSHIP HIM.

Reporter: YOUCEF SAYS

SOME SHI'ITES HAVE BEEN

TRYING TO BRING ABOUT THE

PROPHESIED TIME OF THE

MAHDI TO MAKE IT HAPPEN

THEMSELVES.

HE WILL APPEAR WHEN THE

WORLD IS IN CHAOS, AND HE

WILL BRING PEACE.

SO THE FORMER PRESIDENT OF

IRAN BASICALLY WANTED TO

STIR UP TROUBLE AND GET

THE NUCLEAR WEAPONS SO

THEY COULD ATTACK ISRAEL

AND CREATE AND ATMOSPHERE

OF CHAOS SO TO FORCE THEIR

MAHDI, OR THE 12th

CALIPHATE, TO SHOW UP.

Reporter: AND SOME OF

THE MOST VIOLENT SUNNIS

ARE ALSO TRYING TO SET OFF

THE END TIMES.

PARTICULARLY THE MIDDLE

EAST PEOPLE CALLED DAESH

OR ISIS, OR I.F., THEY

ALSO HAVE THAT CONCEPT

THAT WHEN CHAOS AND

BLOODSHED REIGN SUPREME --

AND THAT'S WHY THEY'RE

SHEDDING SO MUCH BLOOD --

THAT THEIR MESSIAH WILL

COME.

Reporter: IF PASTOR

YOUCEF'S LIFE IS CORRECT,

THIS ANTI-CHRIST WILL BE

MUSLIM, IT IS THE FIRST

TIME HAD BELIEVERS OF A

MAJOR RELIGION ARE

ACTIVELY WORKING TO BRING

HIM INTO THE WORLD AND

WELCOME HIM.

THE LORD SAID, WHEN YOU

SEE THESE SIGNS, LIFT UP

YOUR HEAD BECAUSE THE DAY

OF YOUR REDEMPTION IS

DRAWING NIGH.

WE SHOULD BE REJOICING.

Reporter: MANY WARN

THAT THERE WILL BE GLOBAL

FALSE RELIGION, AT FIRST

TOLERATING AND BRINGING

ALL RELIGIONS TOGETHER.

IN HIS BOOK, YOUCEF TALKS

ABOUT THE BUMMER STICKER

WITH THE ISLAMIC CRESCENT

FORMING A "C," THE JEWISH

STAR FOR "X," AND THE

CROSS OF CHRIST AS THE

"T."

ALALREADY...

THERE IS SOMETHING THAT

IS RAMPANT CALLED

CHRISLAM, AND THERE ARE

CHURCHES IN CANADA AND THE

UNITED STATES WHERE THEY

READ FROM THE QURAN AS

WELL AS THE BIBLE.

Reporter: HE ADDS

THERE IS A WAY TO IMMUNE

FROM FALSE RELIGION?

A PERSON IS A GENUINE

BELIEVER IN JESUS CHRIST,

HE WILL NOT BE DECEIVED.

THE HOLY SPIRIT WILL GIVE

US DISCERNMENT THAT WE MAY

BE ABLE TO TELL THE

DIFFERENCE.

Reporter: YOUCEF

PREACHES IT IS TIME FOR

CHRISTIANS TO INSIST

CHRIST IS THE ONLY WAY,

NOT JUST ONE MORE OPTION.

WE DON'T HATE ANYONE.

WE LOVE EVERYONE.

BUT THERE IS ONLY ONE NAME

UNDER HEAVEN BY WHICH MEN

AND WOMEN CAN BE SAVED,

AND HIS NAME IS JESUS.

Reporter: WHAT THE

DOCTOR EMPHASIZES WHEN HE

BROADCASTS FROM "LEADING

THE WAY," OR ANYWHERE HE

GOES, IS THAT WE

CHRISTIANS DO NOT NEAT TO

FEAR ANY OF THE EVENTS IN

REVELATIONS, BUT WE NEED

TO GO THROUGH IT SO WE CAN

GET TO WHAT THEY CALL THE

ANTI-CHRIST.

Wendy: GENOCIDE IS

BEING WAGED AGAINST

RELIGIOUS MINORITIES IN

SYRIA AND IRAQ.

THAT'S THE DECLARATION

FROM THE U.S. HOUSE

FOREIGN AFFAIRS COMMITTEE

WHICH PASSED A BIPARTISAN

SOLUTION.

THOSE ARE GUILTY OF

GENOCIDE, WAR CRIMES, AND

CRIMES AGAINST HUMANITY.

THE GENOCIDE MEASURE

EXTENDS EVEN TO GROUPS

BEYOND ISIS.

THE DECLARATION IS

CONSIDERED A VICTORY FOR

RELIGIOUS MINORITIES IN

IRAQ AND SYRIA.

George: WELL, IT HAS

BEEN JUST OVER A MONTH

SINCE AMERICAN PASTOR

SAEED ABEDINI'S RELEASE

FROM AN IRANIAN PRISON.

ARRESTED BACK IN 2012, HE

FACED YEARS OF TORTURE AND

PERSECUTION BEHIND BARS.

HE TALKED IN DEPTH ABOUT

THOSE HORRORS IN AN

INTERVIEW WITH ABIGAIL

ROBERTSON.

I FELT IN MY SPIRIT

THAT SOME THREAT IS

COMING.

Reporter: THAT

FEELING CAME DURING PASTOR

SAEED ABEDINI'S TENTH

ARREST IN IRAN.

I KNOW THAT MAYBE

THEY'RE GOING TO KILL US

BECAUSE I TURNED FROM

ISLAM TO CHRISTIANITY.

BUT THE HOLY SPIRIT WAS

WITH ME, AND HE ENCOURAGED

ME, AND PREPARED ME FOR

ALL OF THE SUFFERING I

SHOULD GO THROUGH.

Reporter: SAEED VIEWS UGED

THIS TIME REACHING OUT AND

MINISTERING TO THOSE

AROUND HIM.

10 OF THOUSANDS CAME TO

CHRIST, AND WHEN THEY

FOUND OUT, THEY SWITCHED

ME TO ANOTHER PRISON,

WHICH WAS WORSE.

ANY TIME THEY CHANGED MY

PRISON, IT WAS A GOOD TIME

TO EVANGELIZE TO THEM.

WHICH MADE THEM SO ANGRY.

EVERY PEOPLE THAT BECAME

CHRISTIAN WITH ME, THEY

STARTED TORTURING THEM AND

SEPARATED THEM FROM ME.

THE LAST TWO YEARS THEY

MADE ME COMPLETELY

ISOLATED.

Reporter: WAS THERE

EVER A TIME WHEN YOU WERE

OVER THERE THAT YOU DIDN'T

KNOW IF YOU WOULD MAKE IT

BACK TO AMERICA?

FOR THE FIRST SIX

MONTHS, THEY ALWAYS

THREATENED ME TO DEATH.

FOR SURE YOU'RE GOING TO

BE EXECUTED FOR WHAT YOU

DID.

YOU MADE A THOUSAND

MUSLIMS CHRISTIANS.

BUT EVERY TIME I PRAYED,

THE HOLY SPIRIT WOULD PUT

IN MY HEART I HAVE WORK

FOR YOU TO DO.

Reporter: AFTER THREE

AND A HALF YEARS, PASTOR

SAEED ABEDINI HAS FINALLY

RETURNED HOME TO WHAT HE

SAYS IS A VERY DIFFERENT

AMERICA THAN THE ONE HE

LEFT.

IT SEEMS THEY FOUND OUT

SOMETHING SHOULD BE

CHANGED, THAT SOMETHING IS

WRONG.

I BELIEVE THAT GOD WANT TO

BRING THE BIBLE BACK TO

AMERICA.

Reporter: THANKFUL TO

BE HOME, SAEED STILL FACES

CHALLENGES, ADJUSTING TO

HIS LIFE AT HOME IN IDAHO.

MY MARRIAGE IS NOT IN A

GOOD POSITION RIGHT NOW.

I NEED PEOPLE WHO PRAYED

FOR ME TO CONTINUE TO PRAY

FOR ME.

I KNOW THAT I'M GOING TO

GO THROUGH THIS SUFFERING

BECAUSE OF MY FAITH.

I KNOW THAT GOD IS USING

THIS OPPORTUNITY SO THAT

THE GOSPEL WILL BE

PREACHED.

I ALWAYS ENCOURAGE MYSELF

THAT THE THINGS I'M GOING

INTO, IT'S NOT ACTUALLY

USELESS.

IT'S NOT FOR NOTHING.

AND GOOD THINGS ARE COMING

OUT FROM IT.

Reporter: REPORTING

FROM WASHINGTON, ABIGAIL

ROBERTSON, CBN NEWS.

KNOWLEDGE.

Wendy: IT IS SO GREAT

TO SEE HIM BACK HERE.

THANKS, ABIGAIL.

> IMPRISONED IRANIAN

PASTOR BENAN IRANI IS

NEARING THE END OF HIS

PRISON SENTENCE, BUT

PRESENT TRUTH MINISTERS

REPORTS THAT THE PASTOR

HAS RECENTLY SUFFERED MORE

BEATINGS BY IRANIAN SECRET

POLICE.

IRANIAN CHRISTIANS SAY

THIS IS NOT UNUSUAL.

PRISON OFFICIALS THINK IF

THEY DO THIS, THEY WILL BE

ABLE TO BREAK CHRISTIAN

INMATES AND FORCE THEM TO

CONVERT TO ISLAM.

HE HAS BEEN IN PRISON

SINCE 2011.

HIS SENTENCE ENDS LATE

THIS YEAR.

George: STILL AHEAD,

IT'S THE EVENT THAT

STARTED A MOVEMENT, WITH

HALF A BILLION FOLLOWERS,

AND YOU CAN BE ON HAND AS

IT BEGINS ITS NEXT PHASE.

LOU ENGLE TAKES US INSIDE

THE AZZUZA STREET REVIVAL.

George: AND WELCOME

BACK TO THE BROADCAST.

PICTURE THIS, YOU'RE IN A

STADIUM, JAM-PACKED WITH A

HUNDRED THOUSAND OTHER

BELIEVERS, AND YOU'RE

THERE TO CELEBRATE ONE OF

THE BIGGEST PRAYER RALLIES

IN HISTORY.

Wendy: LOU ENGLE IS

THE CO-FOUNDER OF "THE

CALL."

AND ON APRIL 9th, 2016,

IN THE LOS ANGELES

MEMORIAL COLLISIUM, THEY

WILL HOLD A PRAYER RALLY

CALLED "AZUZA NOW."

IT WILL BE HELD ON THE

110th ANNIVERSARY OF THE

AZUZA STREET OUTPOURING,

THE BEGINNING OF THE

PENTECOSTAL CHARISMATIC

MOVEMENT IN THE UNITED

STATES.

LOU IS PRAYING THAT THIS

EVENT WILL HELP TO START A

GREAT AWAKENING IN AMERICA

THAT WILL TURN PEOPLE BACK

TO GOD.

EARLIER ON CBN'S "THE 700

CLUB," I TALKED WITH LOU

ABOUT THIS REVIVAL AND

WHAT IT MEANS TO AMERICA.

A LOT OF FOLKS MIGHT NOT

HAVE HEARD ABOUT AZUZA

STREET.

WHAT HAPPENED THERE?

AN AFRICAN-AMERICAN

MAN, NAMED WILLIAM FEMAR,

CAME FROM HOUSTON.

HE WAS SEEKING FOR THE

OUTPOURING OF THE HOLY

SPIRIT.

AND THE HOLY SPIRIT FELL

ON A SMALL GROUP OF

BELIEVERS.

AND THAT TON OF FIRE

ERUPTED ON THE PLACE CALL

AZUZA STREET, AND IT

SPREAD ALL OVER THE

WORLDMENT IWORLD.AND THEY SAID THE COLOR

LINE WAS WASHED AWAY IN

THE BLOOD.

IT UNIT THE BODY OF

CHRIST.

Wendy: HOW LONG DID

IT LAST, AND WHY DID IT

END?

IT ACTUALLY WENT TO

ABOUT 1916.

AND IT REALLY WAS PARTLY

RACIAL DIVISION IN THE

BODY OF CHRIST THAT

ACTUALLY ENDED IT.

BUT WE BELIEVE THAT GOD IS

BRINGING THESE THINGS BACK

AGAIN BECAUSE HE WANTS TO

MAKE US ONE.qOqO

Wendy: BEFORE IT

ENDED, THOUGH, WILLIAM

SEYMORE AND SOMEONE ELSE

HAD A PROPHECY THAT IS

PERTINENT TODAY.

TELL US ABOUT THAT.

Reporter: HE

PROPHESIED IN 100 YEARS, A

REVIVAL FAR ECLIPSING

AZUZA STREET WOULD TAKE

PLACE.

I'VE JUST RUN INTO A MAN

IN AFRICA THAT HAS

10 MILLION WHO HAVE BEEN

PRAYING THAT PROPHECY FOR

THREE YEARS.

AND IT IS TIME.

WE BELIEVE WE'RE IN THE

SEASON OF A GREAT

OUTPOURING OF SEASON.

Wendy: IF I DO MY

MATH CORRECT, IT IS 100

YEARS LATER.

EXACTLY.

LIKE DANIEL, WHEN HE KNEW

IT WAS TIME, HE PRAYED TO

SEE THAT PROPHECY IS

FULFILLED.

Wendy: THIS IS

HAPPENING APRIL 9th.

YOU SAY YOU HAVE ABOUT

1,000 PEOPLE A DAY SIGNING

UP TO COME TO CALIFORNIA.

IT HAS BEEN

EXTRAORDINARY.

SOMETHING IS HAPPENING.

THERE IS A SENSE IN THE

SPIRIT, ALL OVER THE

GLOBE, BUT IN AMERICA AND

IN THE CHURCH, THERE IS

THIS EXPECTANCY THAT GOD

IS GETTING READY TO MOVE

AGAIN.

WE'RE EXCITED THIS COULD

BE A FLASH POINT.

I DON'T THINK IT IS THE

BEGINNING.

IT IS A FLASH POINT OF

ENCOURAGING AND RELEASING

POWER IN SIGNS AND

WONDERS.

Wendy: YOU'RE MOST

KNOWN FOR THE CALL PRAYER

MOVEMENT.

I WAS WITH YOU IN D.C.,

AND THEN WE HAD 9/11, AND

YOU MOVED UP TO BOSTON,

NEW YORK -- THERE ARE SO

MANY OF THEM --

NASHVILLE, 777.

Wendy: AND YOU EVEN

HAD ONE IN JERUSALEM IN

2008, AND I WENT TO THAT

ONE AND IT WAS INCREDIBLE.

YOU CALLED THIS THE JOHN

THE BAPTIST MOVEMENT --

WHAT DO YOU MEAN ABOUT

THAT?

BEFORE THAT I HAD A

DREAM, AND IN THE DREAM, A

SCROLL ROLLED DOWN BEFORE

ME, AND IT SAID HE WILL GO

ON IN THE SPIRIT OF THE

LORD TO TURN THE HEARTS OF

THE FATHER TO THE CHILDREN

AND THE REBELLIOUS TO THE

RIGHTEOUS.

AND IN THIS DREAM, I JUST

KNEW THE LORD WAS

SAYING -- IT IS NOT A JOHN

THE BAPTIST, BUT IT HAD

THAT FASTING AND PRAYING

AND NAZARETH-TYPE OF DEAL.

YOU CAN GO TO

AZUZANEW2016.COM.

LET'S NOT GO FOR AN EVENT.

LET'S GO FOR A MASSIVE

BREAKTHROUGH ACROSS THE

NATION.

THAT WOULD BE INCREDIBLE.

Wendy: LOU IS SUCH A

PIONEER, CALLING THE

NATION TO PRAYER.

YOU CAN JOIN THE APRIL

PRAYER RALLY AND BE THERE

WHEN THIS NEW MOVE OF THE

SPIRIT KICKS OFF.

FIND OUTHOW HO OUT OUT HOW AT OUR

WEBSITE, cbnnews.com.

TBOOR George: UP NEXT, HE

WON A MEDAL FOR RESCUING A

MILITARY DOCTOR.

HERHEAR THE STORY.

THAT'S NEXT.

George: AND WELCOME

BACK TO "CHRISTIAN WORLD

NEWS."ñ

A NAVY SEAL HAS WON

AMERICA'S HIGHEST MILITARY

HONOR FOR HIS HEROIC

RESCUE OF A CHRISTIAN

DOCTOR CAPTURED IN

AFGHANISTAN.

EDWARD BYERS WAS HONORED

AT THE WHITE HOUSE.

Wendy: AND JENNIFER

WISHON SAYS BYERS SAYS HE

IS NOT THE REAL HERO.

Reporter: ON A COLD

NIGHT THREE YEARS AGO,

EDWARD AND HIS SEALS WERE

ON A MISSION IN

AFGHANISTAN.

THREE DAYS EARLIER,

DR. DILLOD JOSEPH WAS

CAPTURED BY THE TALIBAN.

THERE WAS REASON TO

BELIEVE THAT TIME WAS OF

THE ESSENCE.

Reporter: HE WAS

THERE TO TAKE JOSEPH HOME.

A HOSTAGE RESCUE IS

SOMETHING BYERS CALLS A

NO-FAIL MISSION.

AFTER A DIFFICULT

FOUR-HOUR HIKE THROUGH THE

MOUNTAINS, HE AND HIS TEAM

REACHED DURING JOSEPH AND

TOOK ON THE ENEMY.

NICK CHEQUE WAS FIRST TO

FIRE ON A GUARD OUTSIDE

AND WAS HIT.

I MADE MY WAY IN RIGHT

BEHIND HIM.

AND I WENT DOWN MY WALL

AND I ENGAGED ONE OF THE

ENEMIES THAT WAS ON THE

BACK SIDE OF THE WALL.

AND THEN I SAW ANOTHER

PERSON MOVING ACROSS THE

FLOOR.

President Obama:

PERHAPS THE HOSTAGE OR

ANOTHER GUARD HUNTING FOR

A WEAPON.

THE STRUGGLE WAS HAND TO

HAND.

IT STRADDLED HIM, PINING

HIM TOWN.

PINNING

HIM DOWN.

THINGS CAME INTO FOCUS,

AND HE WAS ON TOP OF A

GUARD.

AT THE SAME TIME THIS

WAS HAPPENING, CALLING OUT

TRYING TO FIND THE

LOCATION OF THE AMERICAN

HOSTAGE.

AND FINALLY HE SPOKE UP.

AND IT WAS AT THAT TIME

THAT I ENGAGED THE PERSON

I WAS ON TOP OF AND JUMPED

OFF THE GUY I WAS ON, AND

ON TO THE DOCTOR, WHO WAS

ABOUT THREE OR FOUR, MAYBE

FIVE, FEET AWAY FROM ME TO

MY RIGHT.

Reporter: AND BYERS

DETECTED ANOTHER THREAT.

THERE WAS A GUY BEHIND

HIM, WITHIN ARM'S REACH,

AND HE WAS ARMED, AND I

WAS ABLE TO PIN THAT GUY

TO THE WALL BY HIS THROAT.

Reporter: IT WAS

CHAOTIC, BUT WITHIN

MINUTES, BYERS HAD SAVED

THE LIFE OF DR. JOSEPH AND

HIS TEAMMATES.

FOR HIS VALOR, PRESIDENT

OBAMA AWARDED HIM WITH THE

HIGHEST HONOR OF THE

MILITARY, BUT SUCCESS CAME

WITH A PRICE.

THE FIRST SEAL TO RUSH IN

DURING THE RESCUE, NICK

CHEQUE, DIDN'T SURVIVE.

HE WAS AN AMERICAN HERO

AND HE WAS A HERO DURING

THAT OPERATION.

Reporter: ALTHOUGH

BYERS AND HIS FELLOW SEALS

ARE AMONG THE MOST ELITE

FIGHTERS IN THE WORLD, HE

SAYS HE RELIES ON HIS

FAITH IN BATTLE.

I HAVE THE PATCH ON MY

BACK, AND FOR EVERY

DEPLOYMENT AND EVERY

MISSION I'VE EVER BEEN ON,

I HAVE ALWAYS SAID A

PRAYER TO PROTECT US AND

LOOK OVER US.

AND THAT HAS GIVEN ME A

LOT OF RELILIENCY TO BE

ABLE TO CARRY ON.

Reporter: HE JOINS A

PRESTIGIOUS LIST OF

MILITARY MEN WHO HAVE WORN

OR WEAR THE MEDAL OF

HONOR.

I PARTICULARLY WANT TO

ACKNOWLEDGE MY BEAUTIFUL

WIFE AND MY INCREDIBLE

DAUGHTER, WHO'S SUPPORT

HAS BEEN UNWAVERING.

Reporter: SOON HE'LL

GO BACK TO THE JOB HE

LOVES.

JENNIFER WISHON, CBN NEWS,

THE WHITE HOUSE.

George: TERRIFIC

STORY.

YOU CAN HEAR FROM THE MAN

BYERS HELPED FREE,

DR. DILLOD JOSEPH, AND HE

TALKED WITH CBN ABOUT HIS

CAPTIVITY AND THE RESCUE.

SEE THAT STORY AT

cbnnews.com.

FOLKS, WE'LL BE BACK RIGHT

AFTER THIS.

Wendy: A RECENT

OUTBREAK OF THE ZIKA VIRUS

IN LATIN-AMERICA HAS

CALLED OFFICIALS THERE TO

DECLARE AN INTERNATIONAL

HEALTH EMERGENCY.

THE VIRUS CAUSES BRAIN

DAMAGE IN BABIES.

"OPERATION BLESSING" IS ON

THE SCENE IN

LATIN-AMERICA, USING A

UNIQUE APPROACH TO PREVENT

THE VIRUS FROM SPREADING.

OUR GARY LANE HAS THAT

STORY.

Reporter: HEALTH

WORKERS IN LIMA, PERU,

FUMIGATE CLASSROOMS IN

HOPES OF PREVENTING THE

SPREAD OF THE DEADLY ZIKA

VIRUS.

BUT INSECTICIDE SPRAYING

AND MOSQUITO NETS, FOR THE

MOST PART, HAVE PROVEN

INEFFECTIVE AND STOPPING

THE MOSQUITO, CALLED AEDES

AEGYPTI, THAT SPREADS THE

ZIKA VIRUS.

BILL HORNE EXPLAINS IT HAS

TO DO WHEN THE MOSQUITOS

ARE ACTIVE.

MOSQUITO BED NETS ARE

NOT AS EFFECTIVE FOR THESE

MOSQUITOS BECAUSE THE

AEDES AEGYPTI SLEEPS AT

NIGHT.

THESE MOSQUITOS ARE

ESPECIALLY ACTIVE RIGHT AT

DAWN, FOR ABOUT TWO HOURS,

AND JUST BEFORE DARK FOR

ABOUT TWO HOURS.

Reporter: BASED ON

"OPERATION BLESSING'S"

EXPERIENCE IN NEW ORLEANS

AFTER HURRICANE KATRINA,

HORNE CAME UP WITH A

UNIQUE SOLUTION.

O.B. IS DISTRIBUTING

MOSQUITO-EATING FISH.

WE ARE USING THEM,

WE'RE DISTRIBUTING THEM,

AND WE'RE HELPING TO

SUPPORT A WOMAN WHO IS

RAISING THEM DOWN THERE.

IN MEXICO NOW, WE HAVE THE

OKAY, RIGHT FROM THE

CABINET LEVEL OF THE

MEXICAN GOVERNMENT, TO USE

GAMBUSHA, FOUND IN MEXICO,

TO EAT MOSQUITO LARVAE.

Reporter: O.B. IS

WORKING IN THE MEXICO

AREA.

AND ON LOCATION IN EL

SALVADOR, "OPERATION

BLESSING'S" TONY SISSI

EXPLAINS HOW THE PROJECT

WORKS THERE.

THEY'RE PUTTING THE

FISH INTO CONTAINERS LIKE

THIS.

THIS ONE IS BEING USED TO

STORE THE SOMBO FISH, BUT

IN HOMES THEY USE IT TO

STORE WATER.

ONE OF THE PROBLEMS IS

THESE ARE BREEDING GROUNDS

FOR THE AEDES AEGYPTI,

WHICH BECOME THE MOSQUITOS

THAT CARRY THE VIRUSES

LIKE DENGUE AND THE ZIKA

VIRUS.

Reporter: THESE

WORKERS ARE RAISING

AWARENESS.

YOU HAVE ALWAYS SAID,

BILL, THAT EDUCATING THE

PUBLIC IS CRUCIAL.

WHAT DO THEY NEED TO KNOW

THAT THEY DON'T KNOW?

GARY, WE'VE LEARNED IN

OTHER OUTBREAKS OF

EPIDEMICS, LIKE

CHOLERA,

EBOLA, THAT MAKING THE

PUBLIC AWARE, WHO MAKE

DON'T HAVE ACCESS TO

TELEVISION OR THE

INTERNET -- WE HAVE OUR

TEAMS OUT MAKING PEOPLE

AWARE OF THIS ZIKA VIRUS,

WHAT IT IS, AND HOW THEY

CAN FIGHT IT THEMSELVES.

Reporter: AND

"OPERATION BLESSING'S"

EFFORTS AREN'T LIMITED TO

EL SALVADOR AND MEXICO.

HE MET WITH THE FIRST LADY

IN THE SOUTH CENTRAL

AMERICA.

WE'RE ELIMINATING

SUFFERING, AND SAVING

LIVES, AND GOING AFTER THE

DISEASE AT ITS SOURCE.

WHEREVER THE ZIKA GOES,

"OPERATION BLESSING" IS

GOING TO GO, ALSO.

Reporter: GARY LANE,

CBN NEWS.

George: FINALLY

TODAY, WE'RE TAKING A LOOK

AT SOMETHING REMARKABLE.

Wendy: THIS IS WHAT

IS BEING CALLED A SUPER

BLOOM.

IT IS HAPPENING IN DEATH

VALLEY, CALIFORNIA.

THE AREA IS ONE OF THE

DRIEST PLACES ON EARTH.

IT TYPICALLY ONLY GETS

ABOUT TWO INCHES OF RAIN

EACH YEAR, BUT THIS YEAR

THE AREA GOT MORE RAIN

THAN USUAL, JUST ENOUGH TO

TRANSFORM IT INTO THIS.

LOOK AT THAT.

JUST ANOTHER REMINDER OF

GOD'S MAJESTY.

I LOVE THE COLOR,

YELLOW -- IT'S MY FAMOUS.

A TOTAL MIRACLE.

SPRING IS ON THE WAY,

GEORGE.

George: IT IS, SOON.

NOT SOON ENOUGH.

Wendy: WELL, EVEN IF

YOU'RE FEELING DEAD AND

DRY IN YOUR OWN LIFE,

REMEMBER THERE ARE SEEDS

PLANTED IN YOU THAT ARE

WAITING FOR JUST THE RIGHT

CONDITIONS TO BRING FORTH

AND SHOW GOD'S BEAUTY.

George: FOLKS, THAT

IS IT FOR THIS WEEK'S

EDITION OF "CHRISTIAN

WORLD NEWS."

Wendy: THANKS FOR

WATCHING.

UNTIL NEXT WEEK,
