Efrem: TODAY ON
"NEWSWATCH," IS THE
LIBERAL NEWS MEDIA
BOOSTING DONALD TRUMP?
TED CRUZ TELLS CBN NEWS
WHY HE THINKS TRUMP IS
GETTING A FREE PASS.
AND ISRAEL'S BEST ALLY
HAS BEEN CUTTING DEALS
WITH ISRAEL'S WORST
ENEMIES.
FIND OUT WHY MANY ISRAELIS
STILL BELIEVE IN AMERICA,
DESPITE WHAT PRESIDENT
OBAMA HAS DONE TO THEM.
AND...
OUR MARCHING ORDERS
AREN'T GO THEREFORE AND
BECOME AN ADVOCACY GROUP.
WHEN THE HEARTS ARE RIGHT,
THE LAWS OF RIGHT.
Efrem: MEET THE
MINISTERS ON A MISSION TO
REACH LAWMAKERS NOT TO
CHANGE LAWS BUT TO CHANGE
HEARTS.
> THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR
JOINING US FOR CBN
"NEWSWATCH."
I'M EFREM GRAHAM.
THE REPUBLICAN
PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATES
TAKE PART IN A CRITICAL
DEBATE TONIGHT IN MIAMI,
LESS THAN A WEEK BEFORE
THE ALL-IMPORTANT FLORIDA
PRIMARY.
THAT COMES AS TED CRUZ
TOLD CBN NEWS THAT HE
THINKS THE LIBERAL MEDIA
HAVE BE INTENTIONALLY
BOOSTING DONALD TRUMP.
CBN'S DAVID BRODY HAS
MORE.
David: WHILE
CANDIDATES LIKE TED CRUZlñ
AND MARCO RUBIO CAMPAIGN
IN THE KEY STATE OF
FLORIDA, DONALD TRUMP
MARCHES TO THE BEAT OF HIS
OWN DRUM.
HE HELD A RALLY THIS
EVENING IN NORTH CAROLINA
BECAUSE TARHILL VOTERS
ALSO GO TO
THE
POLLS ON
TUESDAY.
DO YOU PLEDGE THAT ON
TUESDAY THAT YOU WILL GO
AND WE WILL MAKE AMERICA
GREAT AGAIN?
AND YOU WILL VOTE FOR
DONALD TRUMP?
YES?
David: TRUMP RETURNS
TO FLORIDA TONIGHT, WHERE
POLLS SHOW HIM SOLIDLY
AHEAD.
HE TAKES THIS
WINNER-TAKE-ALL STATE,
THEN HE'LL BE HARD TO
CATCH.
IN MIAMI THURSDAY, TED
CRUZ PREACHED HIS
CONSTITUTIONAL
CONSERVATISM IN FRONT OF
HUNDREDS OF ENTHUSIASTIC
SUPPORTERS.
THEY GOT EVEN MORE EXCITED
WHEN CARLY FIORINA JOINED
HIM ON THE STAGE.
SHE LOUDLY BACKED CRUZ AND
HIS ANTI-G.O.P.
ESTABLISHMENT MESSAGE.
WHEN THE ESTABLISHMENT
SAYS TED CRUZ IS TOO
CONSERVATIVE, HE IS TOO
MUCH OF A FIGHTER, HE
WON'T GET ALONG, I SAY,
YOU GO, TED.
David: CRUZ IS LESS
THAN 100 DELEGATES BEHIND
TRUMP AND WANTS TO TAKE ON
THE FRONT-RUNNER.
AND AS THIS RACE
CONTINUES AND CONTINUES TO
NARROW INTO A CLEAR
TWO-MAN RACE, HEAD TO
HEAD, DONALD TRUMP LOSES,
AND LOSES BADLY.
David: IN AN
EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW WITH
CBN NEWS, CRUZ CRITICIZED
THE LIBERAL MEDIA FOR
HELPING DONALD TRUMP RISE
TO ALMOST ROCK-STAR
STATUS.
IF YOU WONDER, WHEN YOU
TURN YOUR TV ON, WHY
DONALD TRUMP IS ON FROM
MORNING TO MIDNIGHT, IT IS
BECAUSE THE NETWORKS HAVE
DECIDED LET'S GET TRUMP
NOMINATED, BECAUSE ONCE WE
DO, HILLARY CLINTON WINS.
David: AND AS FOR
MARCO RUBIO, HE IS JUST
HOPING TO STAY IN THE
RACE.
BECAUSE THE REALITY IS
THIS: IF HE DOESN'T WIN
HIS HOME STATE OF FLORIDA,
IT IS ALL BUT OVER.
RUBIO'S CAMPAIGN IS
STRUGGLING TO GAIN
TRACTION HERE, AND THEY'RE
DENYING RUMORS NOW THAT HE
MIGHT PULL OUT OF THE RACE
BEFORE TUESDAY'S PRIMARY.
RUBIO WAS HAVING NONE OF
IT.
IF ANYONE CALLS YOU AND
TELLS YOU MARCO RUBIO IS
GETTING OUT, YOU TELL THEM
YOU HEARD IT FROM ME, THEY
ARE LYING TO YOU.
WE ARE GOING TO WORK AS
HARD AS IT TAKES BECAUSE
WE ARE GOING TO WIN
FLORIDA, AND WE WILL WIN
THE NOMINATION.
David: BUT RIGHT NOW
THAT NOMINATION IS TRUMP'S
TO LOSE, AND THAT'S WHY
TONIGHT'S DEBATE BECOMES
EVEN MORE CRUCIAL FOR THE
THREE REMAINING CANDIDATES
TRYING TO KNOCK OFF TRUMP,
AND A NERVOUS REPUBLICAN
PARTY, TOO.
DAVID BRODY, CBN NEWS, IN
MIAMI, FLORIDA.
Efrem: HILLARY
CLINTON'S E-MAIL SCANDAL
AND THE POSSIBILITY OF
INDICTMENT CAME UP LAST
NIGHT DURING THE
DEMOCRATIC DEBATE.
I DID NOT RECEIVE ANY
CLASSIFIED E-MAILS AT THE
TIME.
AND I AM NOT WORRIED ABOUT
IT.
IF YOU GET INDICTED,
WILL YOU DROP OUT?
OH, N OH, MY GOODNESS, THAT
IS NOT GOING TO HAPPEN.
I'M NOT GOING TO ANSWER
THAT.
Efrem: IN THE LEGAL
ACTION, THE G.O.P. SAYS IT
HAS NOT RECEIVED ANY
DOCUMENTS IN RESPONSE TO
THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION
REQUEST MADE LAST YEAR.
MEANWHILE ATTORNEY-GENERAL
LOLORETTA LYNCH SAYS SHE HAS
NOT DISCUSSED THE F.B.I.'S
INVESTIGATION WITH THE
WHITE HOUSE, AND SHE DOES
NOT PLAN TO DISCUSS IT.
> A U.S. RAID HAS LED TO
A MAJOR BREAKTHROUGH IN
THE WAR AGAINST ISIS.
THEY CAPTURED A KEY
OPERATIVE, AND HE HAS
PROVIDED INFORMATION THAT
ISIS IS USING SULPHUR
MUSTARD GAS AGAINST THE
PEOPLE OF IRAQ AND SYRIA.
GARY LANE IS ON THIS
STORY.
Reporter: U.S.
SPECIAL FORCES CAPTURED
THE HEAD OF THE IRAN
STATE'S CHEMICAL WEAPONS
PROGRAM.
HE SPECIALIZED IN CHEMICAL
AND BIOLOGICAL CHEMICALS
PRODUCTION.
HE PROVIDED U.S. OFFICIALS
WITH VALUABLE
INTELLIGENCE, ABOUT HOW
THE ISLAMIC STATE HAD
WEAPONIZED SULPHUR GAS AND
LOADED IT INTO ARTILLERY
SHELLS.
DESPITE THE NEWLY OBTAINED
INTELLIGENCE, THE IRAQI
DEFENSE MINISTER DENIES
THAT ISIS IS USING MUSTARD
GAS IN ISLAM.
THE ISLAMIC STATE
DOESN'T HAVE CHEMICAL
WEAPONS.
THEY SOMETIMES USE
CHLORINE GAS.
BY USING CHLORINE, ISIS
TRIES TO AFFECT THE MORALE
OF IRAQI SOLDIERS.
BUT WE ARE READY TO
REPULSE AND DEFEAT THEM.
Reporter: BUT IN
RECENT
WEEKS, CBN NEWS
HAS
REPORTED INFORMATION
VERIFYING THE NEWLY
OBTAINED INTELLIGENCE.
IN MID-FEBRUARY, WE FIRST
REPORTED CONFIRMATION OF
ISIS CHEMICAL WEAPONS USE.
THE ORGANIZATION FOR THE
PROHIBITION OF CHEMICAL
WEAPONS SAID IN THE SOILS
IT OBTAINED TESTED
POSITIVE FOR MUSTARD GAS.
AND CHUCK HOLTON, ON THE
FRONT LINES IN NORTHERN
IRAQ, SHOW EVIDENCE OF
CHEMICAL-LADEN MORTAR
SHELLS.
ONE KURDISH SOLDIER
VICTIMIZED BY A GAS ATTACK
COLLAPSED IN FRONT OF OUR
CAMERA AS THE DOCTOR
EXAMINED HIM.
AMERICAN DAVID UBANKS WAS
ON LOCATION AT THE TIME.
WE DON'T KNOW, IS IT
CHLORINE OR MUSTARD, OR IS
IT SOMETHING ELSE?
THAT'S WHY WE NEED PEOPLE
TO COME AND TEST IT.
THE DOCTOR WAS APPEALING,
PLEASE SOMEONE, COME AND
TEST IT.
SO, ONE, WE KNOW WHAT IT
IS SO WE CAN TREAT OUR
PEOPLE, AND, TWO, WE CAN
PREVENT IT.
Reporter: BRITISH
INTELLIGENCE MI-6 SAYS IT
HAS OBTAINED ISIS RECRUITS
AND THEIR FAMILY MEMBERS.
ACCORDING TO THE DAILY
PROBE, IT IS A TREASURE
TROVE.
THERE ARE EVEN THE NAMES
OF PERSONAL ISLAMIC STATE
RECRUITERS, AND IT IS ALL
CONTAINED ON A MEMORY
STICK.
THE MAIL REPORTS THE
INFORMATION IS A GOLD MINE
OF INTELLIGENCE, AND THE
BIGGEST ISIS INTELLIGENCE
HAUL EVER UNCOVERED.
GARY LANE, CBN NEWS.
Efrem: WE'RE LEARNING
MORE ABOUT THE AMERICAN
STUDENT MURDERED IN A
TERROR ATTACK IN ISRAEL ON
WEDNESDAY.
MUCH WAS CAUGHT ON CAMERA.
WE WANT TO WARN YOU THE
VIDEO YOU MIGHT BE SEEING
IS DIFFICULT TO WATCH.
THE POLICE SAY A
PALESTINIAN ATTACKER
SPRINTED UP THE ROAD,
SWINGING HIS KNIFE, AND
STABBING PEOPLE AT RANDOM
FOR NEARLY 20 PEOPLE.
HE INJURED AT LEAST 12
PEOPLE, AND KILLED
28-YEAR-OLD TAYLOR FORD.
HE WAS A FIRST-YEAR
STUDENT AT VANDERBILT
UNIVERSITY, AND HE WAS
VISITING ISRAEL ON A
SCHOOL TRIP.
AND HE WAS ALSO AN EAGLE
SCOUT AND A GRADUATE OF
WEST POINT.
HE SERVED TOURS OF DUTY IN
IRAQ AND AFGHANISTAN.
JOSEPH BIDEN VOICED HIS
SUPPORT FOR ISRAEL AND
WEIGHED IN ON THE ATTACK.
LET ME SAY IN NO
UNCERTAIN TERMS, THE
UNITED STATES OF AMERICA
CONDEMNS THESE ACTS.
Efrem: VANDERBILT IS
PLANNING A MEMORIAL
SERVICE FOR HIM NEXT WEEK.
VICE PRESIDENT JOSEPH
BIDEN HAS BEEN VISITING
ISRAEL HOPING TO ASSURE
ISRAELI LEADERS.
IT COMES AS MANY ISRAELIS
FEEL AMERICA'S NUCLEAR
DEAL WITH IRAN HAS PUT
THEM IN DANGER.
AS CHRIS MITCHELL REPORTS
FROM JERUSALEM, BIDEN IS
TRYING TO REBUILD A
CRUMBLING RELATIONSHIP AS
ISRAEL'S TRUST IN THE
OBAMA ADMINISTRATION IS AT
AN ALL-TIME LOW.
Reporter: VICE
PRESIDENT JOSEPH BIDEN AND
ISRAELI PRIME MINISTER
BENJAMIN NETANYAHU MET AND
TALKED ABOUT THE
SOLIDARITY OF THE
U.S.-ISRAEL RELATIONSHIP.
WHILE U.S. AND ISRAELIS
LEADERS PRAY FOR THE
RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE
TWO COUNTRIES, OVER THE
COURSE OF PRESIDENT
OBAMA'S TERMS IN OFFICE,
ISRAELIS HAVE INCREASINGLY
LOST CONFIDENCE IN HIS
POLICIES TOWARDS ISRAEL
AND THE MIDDLE EAST.
THAT CONCERN HAS BEEN
REFLECTED IN POLLS.
FOR EXAMPLE, AFTER THE
U.S. AND OTHER WORLD
POWERS NEGOTIATED THE
NUCLEAR DEAL WITH IRAN,
NEARLY EIGHT OUT OF 10
ISRAELIS FELT IT PUT
ISRAEL IN DANGER.
AND A POLL OF ISRAELIS
LAST YEAR SHOWED ONLY 9%
OF ISRAELIS FELT PRESIDENT
OBAMA WAS PRO-ISRAEL.
60% THOUGHT HE WAS
PRO-PALESTINIAN.
AND MORE THAN 60% OF
ISRAELIS DESCRIBED OBAMA
AS THE WORST U.S.
PRESIDENT FOR ISRAEL IN
THE PAST 30 YEARS.
WHEN ISRAELIS VIEW
OBAMA, PUTTING HIS TRUST
AT THE U.N., CONSIDERING
THE U.N. TO BE THE
QUARTERBACK OF
INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS,
WE CANNOT BUT DEVELOP
DOUBTS ABOUT THE RALLIES
COMING OUT OF THE WHITE
HOUSE.
Reporter: AMBASSADOR
URAN ESTINGER SAYS THE
LACK OF U.S. LEADERSHIP
AND THE SO-CALLED LEADING
FROM BEHIND IS WHAT
FRIGHTENS ISRAEL AND
AMERICA'S ALLIES IN THE
REGION.
EVER SINCE OBAMA HAS
ENTERED THE WHITE HOUSE,
THERE HAS BEEN A
DEVASTATING EROSION OF
AMERICA'S POSTURAL
DETERRENCE, WHICH IS BAD
FOR AMERICA, BUT DOUBLY SO
FOR AMERICA'S ALLIES
THROUGHOUT THE WORLD, BUT
ESPECIALLY IN THE WILDEST
NEIGHBORHOOD IN THE WORLD,
WHICH IS THE MIDDLE EAST.
IT RESEMBLES A NEW SHERIFF
IN TOWN WHO ANNOUNCES
PUBLICLY THAT HE CARRIES
NO GUN IN HIS HOLISTER.
ALLIES OF AMERICA, ISRAEL
INCLUDED, SAUDI ARABIA,
EGYPT, JORDAN, ABU DHABI,
KUWAIT -- WE ALL WANT THE
AMERICAN SHERIFF TO BRING
BACK THE GUN TO THE
HOLISTER AND TO ASSERT
ITSELF.
Reporter: DESPITE THE
CONCERNS ABOUT THE OBAMA
ADMINISTRATION, ETINGER
SAYS WHILE ISRAELIS MAY
NOT LIKE OBAMA'S POLICIES,
THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN)jPQ& AND THE U.S.
REMAINS STRONG.
WHILE AT THE TOP WE DO
NOT HAVE POSITIVE
CHEMISTRY BETWEEN THE TWO
LEADERS, THE STRATEGIC
COOPERATION BETWEEN THE
TWO COUNTRIES,
COMMERCIALLY AND4
ALL-TIME HIGH.
SOMETIMES IN DEFIANCE OF
THE PRESIDENT, BUT, AGAIN,
DUE TO THE AMERICAN PUBLIC
AND THE AMERICAN CONGRESS.
Reporter: CHRIS
MITCHELL, CBN NEWS,
JERUSALEM.
Efrem: TWO DOZEN
HINDU RADICALS ATTACKED A
CHURCH DURING SUNDAY'S
SERVICE IN EASTERN INDIA
THIS WEEK.
INTERNATIONAL CHRISTIAN
CONCERN REPORTS THAT THE
RADICALS BEAT 60 CHURCH
MEMBERS AND STRIPPED
SEVERAL WOMEN NAKED, AND
THEY DESTROYED BIBLES AND
MUSICAL INSTRUMENTS.
I.C.C. SAYS IT IS THE
SIXTH ATTACK ON CHRISTIANS
IN THE PAST FEW WEEKS.
THEY TOLD CBN NEWS
RELIGIOUS PERSECUTION IS A
GROWING CONCERN IN INDIA.
THERE IS A LOT OF
INTERRELIGIONINTERRELIGIOUS AND
CONFLICT GOING ON.
THERE HAVE BEEN SITUATIONS
WHERE THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE
HAVE BEEN KILLED, AND
CONFLICTS BETWEEN MUSLIMS
AND HINDUS.
WE'RE SEEING SITUATIONS
WHERE CHURCHES HAVE BEEN
BURNED AND ATTACKED BY
MOBS, AND SOMETIMES THE
POLICE ARE THERE AND
THEY'RE JUST STANDING BY,
DOING NOTHING, OR, YOU
KNOW, PARTICIPATING.
Efrem: FATHER THOMAS
REID SAYS HINDU
NATIONALISM IS BEHIND THE
ATTACKS ON THE RELIGIOUS
MINORITIES.
YOU CAN WATCH THE FULL
INTERVIEW ON
CBNNEWS.COM.
> COMING UP, A MAN WHO
IS ON A MISSION TO TAKE
THE GOSPEL TO THE NEW YORK
LEGISLATURE.
SEE HOW HE HAS LED 13
LAWMAKERS TO CHRIST.
Efrem: A FEDERAL
APPEALS COURT WILL DECIDE
IF THE TEXAS VOTER I.D.
LAW DISCRIMINATES AGAINST
MINORITIES.
AN AL PEELS COURAN APPEALS COURT RULED IT
VIOLATES THE ACT, BUT A
15-MEMBER FULL COURT
AGREED TO REHEAR THE CASE.
> STATE LAWMAKERS
CONSTANTLY MEET TO CREATE
POLICY AND CHANGE LAWS FOR
MILLIONS OF AMERICANS.
AT THE SAME TIME, SOME
PEOPLE ARE WORKING ON A
DIFFERENT MISSION: TO
CHANGE THOSE SAME
LAWMAKERS FROM THE INSIDE
OUT.
JENNIFER WISHON TELLS US
HOW A MINISTRY IS DOING
THAT ACROSS AMERICA AND
AROUND THE WORLD.
Reporter: DALE WALKER
HAS DEDICATED HIS LIFE TO
THE DOWN AND OUT, ADDICTS,
ALCOHOLICS, GANG-BANGERS.
NOW THE PASTOR IS TAKING
ON A DIFFERENT GROUP WITH
SIMILAR PROBLEMS: THE UP
AND OUT, NEW YORK
POLITICIANS.
SURVEYS SHOW ALBANY, NEW
YORK STATE'S CAPITAL, IS
AMONG THE LEAST BIBLICAL
CITIES IN THE COUNTRY.
THIS IS MY MOBILE
OFFICE.
Reporter: BUT WALKER
IS CHIPPING AWAY AT THAT.
ONE OF MY GREATEST
MINISTRIES IS RIDING THE
ELEVATOR.
IT SEEMS WHENEVER I'M
SUPPOSED TO MEET SOMEBODY,
THE DOOR OPENS AND THERE
THEY ARE.
Reporter: AFTER
PRAYING THAT GOD WOULD USE
HIM, HE GOT A CALL ABOUT
TAKING THE GOSPEL TO THE
NEW YORK LEGISLATURE.
AT THE SAME TIME, THE NEW
YORKERS FAMILY RESEARCH
FOUNDATION NEEDED SOMEONE
TO LAWMAKERS' SOULS
WITHOUT PESTERING THEM
ABOUT VOTES.
I WANTED TO DROP THIS
OFF FOR THE A ASSEMBLYMEN.
Reporter: THE FIRST
FOUR LAWMAKERS HE MET WITH
PRAYED TO ACCEPT CHRIST.
SO FAR HE HAS LED 13
LAWMAKERS TO ACCEPT JESUS.
WHEN I OFFER TO PRAY
FOR PEOPLE, I DON'T CARE
IF YOUR A DEMOCRAT OR A
REPUBLICAN OR IF YOU'RE A
LIBERAL CONSERVATIVE, WHEN
I SAY I'M HUI HERE TO PRAY FOR
YOU, EVERY PERSON SAYS WE
NEED THAT.
Reporter: SO MUCH SO
THAT 39 OTHER PASTORS,
LIKE WALKER, ARE IN STATE
CAPITALS IN THE COUNTRY.
WHEN THE HEARTS ARE
RIGHT, THE LAWS ARE RIGHT.
Reporter: FOUNDED 20
YEARS AGO, CAPITAL
MINISTRIES TOOK A
DIFFERENT DIRECTION FROM
THE EVANGELICAL MOVEMENTS
OF THE '70s AND '80s.
INSTEAD OF TRYING TO
CHANGE POLICY, THE
MINISTRY FOCUSES ON
CHANGING THE HEARTS OF
POLICY-MAKERS.
HE AND HIS WIFE, DANIELLE,
TRAVEL FROM CALIFORNIA TO
WASHINGTON, WHEN CONGRESS
IS IN SESSION, TO LEAD
BIBLE STUDIES IN THE HOUSE
AND SENATE.
THEY WALK MILES EACH WEEK
HAND-DELIVERING BIBLE
STUDIES TO 150 LAWMAKERS.
IT IS BETTER TO PLEASE
GOD THAN MAN.
CERTAINLY WHEN YOU'RE IN
THE POLITICAL ARENA, THAT
IS VERY TOUGH.
Reporter: BUT CAPITAL
MINISTRIES IS MAKING A
DIFFERENCE.
TO BE ABLE TO START
WITH THE LORD'S WORD WITH
A GROUP OF BELIEVERS --
AND HAVING THAT
SPIRITUAL GUIDANCE AND
HAVING LEGISLATORS AND
PASTORS BE ABLE TO TALK
ABOUT THE SCRIPTURE STARTS
MY DAY ON A POSITIVE NOTE.
Reporter: AND THE
PASTORS WANT NOTHING IN
RETURN.
THEY SIMPLY PREACH THE
WORD OF GOD FOR THE PEOPLE
RESPONSIBLE FOR%íñ VOTING YES
OR NO.
TERRY GOTHER HAS BEEN
LEADING BIBLE STUDIES AT
THE NEBRASKA LEGISLATURE
FOR NEARLY A DECADE.
IT IS NOT PARTISAN.
I SAY JESUS DIED FOR
DONKIES AND ELEPHANTS.
WE LOVE BOTH SIDES OF THE
AISLE.
Reporter: THE FRUITS
OF THEIR LABOR ARE
INHERENT, TO THE QUOTING
OF SCRIPTURE IN CHAMBERS.
IT'S A GOOD THING, AND
WE'RE HERE TO PRAY FOR
YOU.
Reporter: CAPITAL
MINISTRIES IS NOW
BACK-FILLING INTO CITIES
AND COUNTIES WITH A GOAL
TO START 10,000 MINISTRIES
IN LOCAL GOVERNMENT.
THEY'RE ALSO TAKING ON THE
WORLD, HOPING TO START 200
MINISTRIES IN AS MANY
COUNTRIES.
HE RELIES ON U.S. SENATORS
LIKE OKLAHOMA'S JAMES
LANGFORD TO USE THEIR
POLITICAL INFLUENCE, TO
OPEN INTERNATIONAL DOORS
THAT CHURCHES ALONE WOULD
HAVE A HARD TIME
ACCESSING.
WE HAVE SO MANY U.S.
SENATORS WHO LOVE CHRIST
WHO ARE SAYING, I'LL GO
OVERSEAS TO USE MY
PLATFORM TO OPEN DOORS IN
FEDERAL CAPITALS.
Reporter: FINDING THE
RIGHT MEN TO LEAD IS OFTEN
HIS BIGGEST CHALLENGE.
PEOPLE LIKE CARL WINTER, A
FORMER MEMBER OF THE UTAH
LEGISLATURE, WHO MADE
STATE-WIDE HEADLINES WHEN
HE LEFT THE MORMON CHURCH
TO BECOME AN EVANGELICAL
MINISTER.
THERE IS NO DOUBT IN MY
MIND THAT THERE ARE PEOPLE
UP THERE WHO NEED A SAFE
PLACE TO SAY THEY ARE
STRUGGLING AND DOUBTING
THE TENENTS OF MORMONISM.
I WANT TO BE THAT PERSON.
Reporter: TO HAVE A
PLACE TO CONNECT WITH
THEIR COLLEAGUES, IN A
SAFE PLACE, IS INVALUABLE.
IN AN OASIS IN A SEA OF
PROBLEMS DOWN HERE.
Reporter: AND FOR
ELECTED LEADERS, HAVING A
PASTOR THERE WHO IS THERE
TO GIVE WITHOUT TAKING
MEANS EVERYTHING.
WHEN YOU HAVE SOMEONE
WHO DOESN'T REALLY KNOW
YOU WHO STILL CARES ABOUT,
IT MAKES IT WORTHWHILE.
SO HE HAS BEEN A BLESSING
FOR US.
PEOPLE NEED THE LORD.
THEY NEED TO BE
ENCOURAGED, LOVED,
MINISTERED TO.
THEY NEED SUPPORT JUST TO
HANDLE THE0'
THEY'RE UNDER.
Reporter: JENNIFER
WISHON, CBN NEWS.
Efrem: NEXT, HALL OF
FAME COACH, TONY DUNGI, ON
WHAT IT MEANS TO BE AN
ALL-PRO DAD.
2
Efrem: YOU LIKELY
HEARD PEYTON MANNING
ANNOUNCED THIS WEEK HE IS
WALKING AWAY FROM
FOOTBALL, BUT WHAT YOU MAY
NOT KNOW IS HE USED A
BIBLE VERSE TO EXPLAIN HIS
DECISION.
TIMOTHY 4: 7: "I HAVE
FOUGHT THE GOOD FIGHT AND
I HAVE FINISHED THE RACE,
I HAVE KEPT THE FAITH."
I FOUGHT THE GOOD FIGHT,
AND FINISHED MY FOOTBALL
RACE, AND AFTER 18 YEARS,
IT'S TIME.
GOD BLESS YOU AND GOD
BLESS FOOTBALL.
Efrem: HE LED TWO
TEAMS TO SUPER BOWL
VICTORIES, THIS YEAR THE
DENVER BRONCOS, AND IN
2006, THE INDIANAPOLIS
COLTS.
THE COLTS WERE COACHED BY
TONY DUNGY, WHO WILL BE IN
INAUGURATED INTO THE NFL
HALL OF FAME LATER THIS
YEAR.
SEAN BROWN MET WITH THE
ALL-PRO DAD FOR TODAY'S
"FAITH ON THE FIELD."
Reporter: FOR MORE
THAN A DECADE, TONY DUNGY
HAS HAD BEEN MORE THAN
JUST A COACH.
HE HAS INSPIRED THE MEN TO
BE THE BEST THEY CAN BE AS
HUSBANDS AND FATHERS.
WE USED TO WALK AFTER
PRACTICE AND JUST TALK
ABOUT OUR FAMILIES AND
WHAT IS GOING ON, AND HOW
WE DIDN'T HAVE AS MUCH
TIME AS DADS TO BE AROUND
AS MUCH AS OUR FATHERS
WERE AROUND.
AND HOW WE CAN CORRECT
THAT AND DO A BETTER JOB.
Reporter: THAT'S WHEN
THEY CAME UP WITH "ALL-PRO
DAD," A DIVISION OF
"FAMILY FIRST," WHICH
FOCUSES ON BUILDING
RELATIONSHIPS BETWEEN
FATHERS AND THEIR KIDS.
THE WAY MEN CONNECT
WITH FOOTBALL, IF WE CAN
HELP THEM GET THAT SAME
ENERGY WITH PARENTING,
WE'RE GOING TO HAVE A GOOD
THING.
LET'S CALL IT "ALL-PRO
DADS," AND GET IT STARTED.
Reporter: IT HAS
BROUGHT THOUSANDS OF
FATHERS AND KIDS TOGETHER
WITH THE ALL-PRO DAD
FATHER AND KIDS
EXPERIENCE.
THEY GET TO RUN ON THE
FIELD WHERE THEIR HEROS
RUN.
AND THEY'LL LEARN A
FOOTBALL SKILL.
BUT AT THE END OF A SHORT
PERIOD OF TIME, THEY'LL
GET A LIFE LESSON.
AND THEY GET TO SPEND
THREE HOURS WITH THEIR
DAD.
MORE KIDS COME OUT
THINKING, I'M GOING TO BE
ON THE BUCCANEERS' FIELD,
BUT AT THE END OF THE DAY,
IT IS, I SPENT THREE HOURS
WITH MY DAD AND I HAD A
LOT OF FUN.
IT IS SOMETHING YOU
WILL NEVER FORGET.
AT HIS AGE, GETTING TO
MEET TONY DUNGY -- IT IS
SOMETHING MANY KIDS WILL
NEVER FORGET.
Reporter: YOU'RE OUT
HERE HANGING WITH TONY
DUNGY, IS THAT COOL?
THE AWESOMEST THING
I'VE EVER DONE IN MY LIFE.
WE GET SO MANY PARENTS
OUT HERE, MANY FOR THE
FIRST TIME, AND SOME SAY
IT HAS BEEN YEARS SINCE I
SPENT TIME WITH MY KIDS.
AND WE SEE THE SMILE ON
OUR KIDS FACES.
AND THAT'S WHAT WE NEED IN
OUR COUNTRY: WE'VE GOT TO
GET OUR MEN MO MORE ENGAGED
AS PARENTS AND IT WILL
HEAD OFF A LOT OF THE
PROBLEMS WE'RE SEEING NOW.
Efrem: I'D LIKE TO
LEAVE YOU WITH A THURSDAY
THANKFUL TODAY.
I'M SO THANKFUL FOREST.
GOD'S REST ALLOWS US TO
REFRESH AND RISE AGAIN TO
MEET THE CHALLENGES OF A
DAY.
IT IS MY PRAYER THAT
YOU'RE FINDING TIME TO
REST WITH ALL OF THE
BUSYNESS THAT LIFE BRINGS.
WITH THAT, MAKE THIS A
THANKFUL THURSDAY.
THAT IS GOING TO DO IT
FOR CBN "NEWSWATCH."
ONCE AGAIN, MAKE THIS A
THANKFUL THURSDAY.
WE'LL SEE YOU TOMORROW.
