" Andrew: HERE SHE,"

MISS VIRGINIA 2016.

[CHEERING]

" WHATEVER YOU BELIEVE,"

THAT'S WHAT WE'RE GOING TO

STAND ON AND FLY TOGETHER

"AND SEE THAT GOAL, SO WE"

CAN CHANGE AND MAKE A

DIFFERENCE IN OUR SOCIETY.

Andrew: HEAR WHY

MICHAELA SIGMON AS LIVING

A LIFE OF SERVICE IS WHAT

TRULY MATTERS.

"ON TODAY'S ""700 CLUB"

"INTERACTIVE."""

> GOOD MORNING AND

WELCOME TO THE SHOW.

DID YOU KNOW THAT MORE

THAN 2.3 MILLION COUPLES

WED EVERY YEAR IN THE

UNITED STATES.

AND THAT BREAKS DOWN TO

"NEARLY 6,200 WEDDINGS A"

DAY.

JUNE IS THE MOST POPULAR

"MONTH FOR WEDDINGS, AND"

"THEN AUGUST, FOLLOWED BY"

SEPTEMBER AND OCTOBER.

"TERRY, I WAS A JANUARY"

WEDDING.

HOW ABOUT YOU?

Terry: WAS A JUNE.

Andrew: I DIDN'T MEAN

TO PUT YOU ON THE SPOT.

" Terry: HEY, WHO IS"

COUNTERING.

"> WELL, WHEN THE FATHER"

OF THE BRIDE COULDN'T BE

THERE TO GIVE HER AWAY AT

"HER WEDDING, JENNY GOT THE"

NEXT BEST THING: HER DAD

WHO WAS THERE IN HEART.

THIS HAS BEEN BEST DAY

OF MY LIFE.

Terry: THE MAN WHO'S

ARM SHE HELD WAS NOT HER

"FATHER, BECAUSE HER DAD,"

"MICHAEL, WAS MURDERED 10"

YEARS AGO.

SO WHO WAS THIS MAN

WALKING BY HER SIDE.

A MAN WHO 10 YEARS AGO WAS

IN URGENT NEED OF A NEW

"HEART, AND THE HEART THEY"

GAVE HIM WAS HER DAD.

SHE KNEW A PART OF HER DAD

"WAS OUT THERE, AND SHE"

CONNECTED WITH HIM WRITING

LETTERS.

SHE WROTE ME A LETTER

"AND SAID, IF YOU'RE"

"WILLING, WOULD YOU WALK ME"

DOWN THE AISLE?

Terry: IN THAT FIRST

"MEETING, JENNY WAS CLOSER"

TO HER DAD'S BEATING HEART

THAN SHE HAD BEEN IN

YEARS.

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR

COMING.

ARE YOU KIDDING?

THANK YOU.

Terry: ARTHUR THOMAS

"WAS HUMBLED, SAYING WHAT"

GREATER HONOR COULD A

PERSON HAVE THAN WALKING

THE DAUGHTER OF A MAN WHO

HAS GIVEN YOU HIS HEART TO

HIM.

I CAN'T IMAGINE A GREATER

HONOR.

IT IS QUITE A

HEART-WARMING STORY.

Andrew: THAT IS

SWEET.

IN A LOT OF BAD NEWS WE

"READ, THIS IS SO GOOD."

> AND A HOMELESS GEORGIA

TEEN WAS SO DEDICATED TO

MAKING IT TO HIS SECOND

"SEMESTER AT COLLEGE, HE"

RODE A BIKE 50 MILES TO

HIS SCHOOL.

I DIDN'T HAVE A RIDE

HERE AND MY GIRLFRIEND

COULDN'T DRIVE ME BECAUSE

SHE DIDN'T HAVE A CAR.

AND MY LITTLE BROTHER

HANDED ME A BIKE.

Andrew: HE PEDALLED

OVER SIX HOURS TO THE

"COLLEGE, AND HE PITCHED A"

TENT FOR SHELTER.

HE PLANNED ON LIVING IN

THE TENT UNTIL THE FIRST

DAY OF REGISTRATION.

"CAMPUS POLICE FOUND HIM,"

TOOK TIME TO HEAR HIS

"STORY, AND THEY DECIDED TO"

PAY FOR A HOTEL ROOM.

AND FRED WAS GIVEN A JOB

"AT A PIZZA PARLOR, AND A"

GO FUND ME HAS RAISED OVER

"$183,000, AND BRETT IS"

BLOWN AWAY.

THIS IS SUCH A RELIEF.

I'M HAPPY.

AND I THANK YOU SO MUCH.

I NEVER WANTED ANY OF THIS

TO HAPPEN.

" Andrew: FRED, BY THE"

"WAY, IS A BIOLOGY MAJOR"

AND PLANS TO BECOME A

PSYCHIATRIST.

HE SAYS HE OWES IT ALL TO

"ONE PERSON, SAYING EVERY"

"SINGLE THING, THE PRAYERS,"

"THE FOOD, THE MONEY, THE"

"BIKE, I THANK GOD EVERY"

SINGLE DAY.

"TERRY, FRED IS GOING ABOUT"

"LIVING HIS LIFE, AND HE"

"HAS A TOUGH CHALLENGE,"

THINKING I'M GOING TO MAKE

THIS HAPPEN ONE WAY OR

"ANOTHER, AND THEN $183,000"

RAISED ON HIS BENEFIT.

" Terry: I WANT TO SAY,"

"IF I WERE AN EMPLOYER, I"

"WOULD HIRE FRED, BECAUSE"

FRED IS COMING TO WORK NO

MATTER WHAT.

WHAT AN AMAZING GUY.

HE HAS THAT KIND OF DRIVE

THAT DESERVES TO BE

SUCCESSFUL.

> SPEAKING OF HELPING

"THE HOMELESS, 12-YEAR-OLD"

JAGEN SALEN HAS SPENT HALF

OF HER LIFE TRYING TO HELP

THE HOMELESS.

SHE STARTED SIX YEARS AGO

WHEN SHE SAW A HOMELESS

MAN ON THE STREET.

I THOUGHT IT WASN'T

FAIR SOME PEOPLE HAVE TO

LIVE THAT WAY.

Terry: HER MOM

EXPLAINED THAT SOME PEOPLE

JUST DON'T HAVE ANYWHERE

TO GO.

"AT SIX YEARS OLD, SHE"

OPENED JJ'S LEMONADE.

SHE DONATED TO A PROGRAM

"THAT HELPS THE HOMELESS,"

AND NOW SHE HAS RAISED

"MORE THAN $16,000."

" I FELT, LIKE, GETTING"

PUBLICITY IS KNOWING YOU

DID SOMETHING GOOD IN YOUR

HEART.

Terry: THIS YEAR

JALEN HOMES TO RAISE

"ANOTHER $10,000, AND SHE"

IS TRYING TO RAISE FUNDS

THROUGH A GO FUND ME PAGE.

AND THAT'S AWESOME.

Andrew: WHEN WE SEE

STORIES ABOUT KIDS WHO DO

"THESE GREAT THINGS, THEY"

TALK ABOUT IT NON

CHALANTLY.

"THEY SAY, I SAW THIS NEED"

AND I WANTED TO DO

SOMETHING.

IT GIVES US ALL

INSPIRATION.

Terry: I HEARD THIS

"QUOTE, ""ONE MAN IS NO MORE"

THAN ANOTHER IF HE DOES NO

"MORE THAN ANOTHER,"" AND"

I'M LOOKING AT THESE YOUNG

"PEOPLE AND I'M GOING, YAY,"

KEEP GOING.

OUR NEXT GUEST IS GOING TO

BE USING HER PLATFORM AT

"THE MISS AMERICA PAGEANT,"

MAKING IT MATTER. 12

TAKE A LOOK.

Reporter: MICHAELA

SIGMON HAS BEEN COMPETING

IN PAGEANTS SINCE SHE WAS

SIX.

SHE JOINED A PROFESSIONAL

DANCE TEAM AT 16.

BUT HER FIRST LOVE WAS

PAGEANTS.

LAST MONTH HER YEARS OF

HARD WORK PAID OFF WHEN

SHE WAS CROWNED MISS

"VIRGINIA, 2016."

SHE'LL REPRESENT HER HOME

STATE IN THE MISS AMERICA

PAGEANT IN SEPTEMBER.

" Terry: WELL, SHE IS"

"WITH US RIGHT NOW, THE"

RELATIVELY NEWLY CROWNED

"MISS VIRGINIA 2016, MISS"

MICHAELA SIGMON.

IT IS GREAT TO HAVE YOU

HERE.

THANK YOU SO MUCH.

I REALLY APPRECIATE IT.

Terry: A VERY

EXCITING TIME FOR YOU.

WE HAVE VIDEO OF THE

MOMENT THAT YOU FOUND OUT.

I THINK PEOPLE LOVE

WATCHING THIS MOMENT

BECAUSE IT IS ALWAYS SUCH

AN EMOTIONAL THING.

TELL US WHAT YOU WERE

GOING THROUGH AS YOU TAKE

A LOOK AT THIS.

WHEN I WAS CROWNED MISS

"VIRGINIA, THERE WAS JUST A"

SENSE OF -- I WASN'T

"NERVOUS, BUT I KNEW I HAD"

BIG SHOES TO FILL.

I HAVE A PLATFORM TO

"SPEAK, AND PEOPLE ARE"

LOOKING UP TO ME.

AND MY SEA OF INFLUENCE

"WAS OPENED UP, WHICH IS"

"WHAT I WANTED IT TO BE,"

BIGGER AND BOLDER AND TO

WALK BOLDLY IN THAT.

Terry: THE

"MISS AMERICA PAGEANT, ONCE"

YOU GET TO IT -- IT IS

"TRUE ON THE LOCAL LEVEL,"

BUT ALSO THE STATE

LEVEL -- IT IS AN OPEN

DOOR TO MANY

OPPORTUNITIES.

IT HAS BEEN A FEW WEEKS

FOR YOU.

HOW HAS YOUR LIFE CHANGED?

IT IS SOMETHING THAT I

TELL PEOPLE THAT I WENT

"FROM BEING A GIRL, AND THE"

DAY AFTER I WAS CROWNED

"MISS VIRGINIA, THEY MOVED"

ME INTO AN APARTMENT FIVE

HOURS FROM MY HOME.

SO YOU GO FROM BEING A

GIRL TO A WOMAN.

IT IS SOMETHING I'VE

REALIZED THAT GOD HAS

CALLED US TO BE BOLD AND

COURAGEOUS.

Terry: AND THE MOMENT

IS HERE.

AND THE MOMENT IS HERE.

AND WHEN YOU DON'T THINK

"THE TIME IS RIGHT, THE"

"TIME IS RIGHT, AND TO WALK"

FIRMLY IN THAT.

Terry: THE TIME IS

HARDLY EVER RIGHT WITH THE

LORD WHEN YOU THINK IT

IS --

EXACTLY.

Terry: TALK A LITTLE

BIT ABOUT DANCE AND THE

ROLE IT HAS PLAYED IN YOUR

LIFE.

BECAUSE IT HAS BEEN

SIGNIFICANT FOR MANY YEARS

FOR YOU.

" WELL, BESIDES JUST"

BEING FIT AND STAYING

"HEALTHY, IT HAS TAUGHT ME"

DISCIPLINE.

"DAVID, ANDRE -- MR. ANDRE,"

WE CALL HIM -- AND HE IS

THE MASTER BALLET

INSTRUCTOR.

HE TAUGHT ME TO HAVE

DISCIPLINE.

WHATEVER I'M WORKING

"TOWARDS, IF YOU HAVE A BAD"

"DAY, TO REACH THAT GOAL"

AND YOU'LL EVENTUALLY

OBTAIN IT.

Terry: HOW DID YOUR

FAITH PLAY A ROLE IN ALL

OF THIS FOR YOU?

WHAT IT DOES IS IT

GIVES ME SECURITY.

"SITTING RIGHT BEFORE YOU,"

"EVERYONE IS, AREN'T YOU SO"

NERVOUS?

"I'M, LIKE, NO."

THIS IS MY FAITH.

THIS IS THE JOURNEY GOD

HAS GIVEN ME.

"TO BE HUMBLE, BUT TO SHARE"

HIS LOVE.

Terry: FOR A NUMBER

OF YEARS THE MISS AMERICA

PAGEANT HAS HAD EACH

CONTESTANT THAT COMES FROM

"HER STATE, COMES WITH A"

PLATFORM.

TELL US ABOUT YOURS.

" MY PLATFORM, I BELIEVE,"

ENCOMPASSES ALL OTHER

PLATFORMS OF THE

MISS AMERICA ORGANIZATION.

"IT IS CALLED ""MAKING IT"

"MATTER,"" WHICH IS"

PROMOTING SELF-WORTH AND

THE BEAUTY OF VALUING

SOMEONE ELSE.

I HAD AN EXPERIENCE AT

GREENBRIAR MALL HER IN

CHESAPEAKE.

"AND THE CASHIER SAID,"

DOESN'T MY FRIEND LOOK

LIKE MICHELLE OBAMA.

"AND I SAID, NO, BUT SHE"

HAS BEAUTIFUL SKIN.

AND I USED TO BE REALLY

SHY WHEN I WAS LITTLE AND

I WOULD NEVER SAY

ANYTHING.

AND THE GIRL STEPPED BACK

"AND SAID, THAT'S BEEN MY"

"INSECURITY ALL OF MY LIFE,"

"MY SKIN, AND SHE STARTED"

CRYING.

SO I'M MAKING A

"DIFFERENCE, AND NOW I HAVE"

A BIGGER INFLUENCE AND A

BIGGER PLATFORM.

Terry: YOU HAVE A

MOTTO YOU TRIED TO LIVE

YOUR LIFE BY.

TELL US ABOUT THAT.

MY GREATEST BLESSING IS

TO BE A BLESSING.

MY PARENTS TAUGHT ME TO

WALK IN GRACE AND IN GOD'S

HUMILITY.

I'M SO GRATEFUL FOR THE

FAMILY I GREW UP IN.

Terry: HERE THE

MISS AMERICA PAGEANT LOOMS

"AROUND THE CORNER, AND IT"

IS LIKE YET ANOTHER LEVEL

OF COMPETITION.

WHAT ARE YOU MOST

CONCERNED ABOUT IN GOING?

WHAT YOU MOST LOOKING

FORWARD TO?

WHAT I'M CONCERNED

ABOUT IS JUST THE MENTAL

GAME THAT PLAYS INTO IT.

"I LOVE TO COMPETE, I'M A"

"COMPETITOR, BUT YET I LOVE"

TO SHOW LOVE THROUGH THAT.

TO KNOW YOU CAN HAVE LOVE

AND GRACE AND WANT TO DO

"YOUR BEST, BECAUSE THAT'S"

"WHAT GOD CALLS US TO DO,"

BUT TO LOVE SOMEONE THAT

"IS YOUR NEIGHBOR, THAT IS"

"YOUR COMPETITOR, IS"

SOMETHING I'M NERVOUS

ABOUT BECAUSE I DON'T

REALLY KNOW THESE GIRLS

I'M COMPETING WITH.

AND I'M EXCITED TO HAVE

THE OPPORTUNITY TO KNOW

THEM.

Terry: ON THE OTHER

SIDE OF THE MISS AMERICA

"PAGEANT, IF YOU WIN IT, IT"

"IS ONE THING, AND IF YOU"

"DON'T, IT IS ANOTHER."

BUT AT SOME POINT LIFE

PICKS UP FOR YOU AGAIN ONE

WAY OR THE OTHER.

WHAT'S YOUR FUTURE?

WHAT I WOULD LOVE TO DO

IS BE A SPORTS

BROADCASTER.

ABOUT THREE OR FOUR DAYS

AFTER I WAS CROWNED MISS

"VIRGINIA, I GOT HOOKED UP"

WITH THE NFL PLAYERS'

ASSOCIATION PRESIDENT.

AND I VOLUNTEERED ALL OF

"MY LIFE, ABOUT 5,000 HOURS"

"IN TOTAL, AND SO TO WORK"

"WITH THEIR CHARITY, AND"

THEN SPORTS JOURNALISM

WOULD BE A GOOD MIX.

Terry: AND ALONG THE

"WAY, I HOPE YOU HAVE THE"

WISDOM TO ROOT FOR

GREENBAY.

" NO, NO, NO."

Terry: YOU CAN WATCH

MICHAELA SIGMON IN THE

"PAGEANT ON SUNDAY,"

"SEPTEMBER 11th, AT"

9 p.m. EASTERN TIME ON

ABC.

THANK YOU AGAIN FOR BEING

WITH US.

WE WISH YOU THE BEST.

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR

THE BLESSING.

" Terry: UP NEXT, A"

SINGLE INJECTION.

ANDREW IS GOING TO TELL US

ABOUT THAT.

Andrew: A SINGLE IN

DIRECTION OF BOTOX BRINGS

A WOMAN RELIEF FROM 17

YEARS OF PAIN.

BUT AS THE DOCTOR

"EXPLAINS, IT DOES COME"

WITH A CATCH.

" HE SAID, YOU'RE GOING"

TO NEED TO COME BACK EVERY

MONTH.

"IF YOU WAIT TOO LONG, THE"

PAIN IS GOING TO COME BACK

AND IT IS GOING TO HIT YOU

LIKE A FREIGHT TRAIN.

Andrew: SEE WHY THIS

WOMAN NEVER RETURNS FOR

HER FOLLOWUP SHOTS.

"> PLUS, DO YOU NEED A"

MIRACLE IN YOUR LIFE?

STAY TUNED BECAUSE WE'RE

GOING TO BE PRAYING FOR

YOU AND YOUR NEEDS.

WE'RE GOING TO BE PRAYING

FOR YOU WHEN WE COME BACK.

Andrew: RHONDA

ENDURED 17 YEARS OF

CHRONIC PAIN.

SHE HAD EVEN GIVEN UP HOPE

SHE WOULD EVER BE HEALED.

"IN FACT, SHE EVEN HAD"

FORGOTTEN WOULD IT FELT

LIKE TO BE PAIN-FREE.

THEN ONE DAY SOMETHING

"HAPPENED, FOR WHICH"

RHONDA'S DOCTORS SAID

THERE IS NO MEDICAL

EXPLANATION.

Reporter: IT WAS

"1986, WHEN A SIMPLE DRIVE"

TO RUN A FEW ERRANDS

TURNED INTO A NIGHTMARE

FOR RHONDA.

ANOTHER CAR RAN A STOP

SIGN AND WAS HEADED

STRAIGHT TOWARDS HER.

I VEERED INTO THE

ONCOMING TRAFFIC AND

VEERED BACK TO NOT BE HIT.

Reporter: SHE MISSED

"THE OTHER CAR, BUT JUMPED"

THE CURB AND STOPPED

ABRUPTLY.

SHE WAS TAKEN TO THE

"HOSPITAL, COMPLAINING OF"

SHARP PAINS IN HER HEAD

"AND NECK, AND WAS"

DIAGNOSED WITH A

CONCUSSION AND RELEASED.

I WOULD HAVE MUSCLE

SPASMS IN MY NECK AND

"SHOULDERS, AND DOWN"

THROUGH MY UPPER BACK.

ONE OF THE MANIFESTATIONS

THAT HAPPENED THAT I

DIDN'T EVEN REALIZED WAS

THAT I CONSTANTLY HAVE

"THIS LOOK ON MY FACE, LIKE"

ANGRY.

Reporter: NOT ONLY

WAS SHE STILL IN SEVERE

"PAIN, BUT IT NEVER WENT"

AWAY.

OVER THE PERIOD OF

MAYBE THREE OR FOUR YEARS

"FOLLOWING THAT, I SAW LOTS"

OF DIFFERENT DOCTORS AND

TRIED PHYSICAL THERAPY AND

"TRIED VARIOUS THINGS, AND"

NOTHING WAS AFFECTED.

Reporter: MORE M.R.I.

TESTS REVEALED TWO

DEGENERATED DISKS AND A

PINCHED NERVE.

I FELT LIKE THE ANSWER

FROM ALL OF THEM SEEMED TO

BE THAT I WASN'T A GREAT

"CANDIDATE FOR SURGERY,"

THAT THE RISK-BENEFIT

ANALYSIS DIDN'T MAKE

SENSE.

A SURGERY COULD BE MORE

DAMAGING THAN WHAT IT

MIGHT DO GOOD.

Reporter: THE RISKS

INCLUDED PARALYSIS OR

DEATH.

SO REALLY ALL THEY HAD

FOR ME WAS TO TAKE PILLS.

Reporter: AS A

"CHRISTIAN, RHONDA POURED"

HER HEART OUT TO GOD.

LET'S SEE.

I WENT THROUGH PLEADING

WITH GOD.

I TRIED BEGGING.

AND THEN I BARGAINED.

I JUST TRIED EVERYTHING I

KNEW TO TRY IN TERMS OF MY

"CONVERSATIONS WITH GOD,"

"AND I THOUGHT, WELL, MAYBE"

THIS IS THAT THORN IN THE

FLESH.

MAYBE I'M NOT GOING TO BE

DELIVERED FROM THIS.

SO MAYBE I'M JUST SUPPOSED

TO LEARN HOW TO DEAL WITH

IT.

SO THAT'S WHAT I DID.

Reporter: THEN IN

"2005, 17 YEARS AFTER THE"

"ACCIDENT, RHONDA WENT TO"

AN ORTHOPEDIC SURGEON.

SHE WENT TO SEE A PAIN

MANAGEMENT SPECIALIST IN

PAMONA.

HE DECIDED TO USE BOTOX

INJECTIONS THAT HAVE BEEN

USED TO HELP PEOPLE WITH

CHRONIC PAIN.

WHEN HE WALKED BACK

"INTO THE ROOM, I WASN'T"

"BOO-HOOING, BUT WATER WAS"

FLOWING OUT OF MY EYES

BECAUSE FOR THE VERY FIRST

TIME IN 17 YEARS I FELT NO

PAIN.

I'D FORGOTTEN WHAT IT FELT

LIKE TO NOT FEEL PAIN.

Reporter: BUT THERE

WAS A CATCH.

" HE SAID, IT'S NOT"

PERMANENT.

IT'S GOING TO WEAR OFF.

YOU'RE GOING TO NEED TO

COME BACK EVERY MONTH.

"AND HE SAID, BE SURE TO"

COME BACK BEFORE THE MONTH

BECAUSE IF YOU WAIT TOO

"LONG, THE PAIN IS GOING TO"

COME BACK AND IT IS GOING

TO HIT YOU LIKE A FREIGHT

TRAIN.

Reporter: THAT

FREIGHT TRAIN NEVER CAME

BACK.

"IN A FEW MONTHS, SHE WENT"

BACK TO THE DOCTOR FOR A

FOLLOWUP VISIT.

SHE SAYS HE WAS ASTOUNDED.

BASED ON HIS REVIEW OF

THE M.R.I. AND HIS

"DIAGNOSIS, HE REALLY"

THOUGHT THAT I WOULD BE

WORKING WITH DR. JOHN

SUZAKI TO MANAGE THE PAIN

REALLY FOR THE REST OF MY

LIFE.

HE WAS JUST DELIGHTED.

"HE SAID, WOW, THERE IS NO"

MEDICAL EXPLANATION.

"HE SAID, FOR WHAT YOU'RE"

TELLING ME.

Reporter: RHONDA HAS

BEEN PAIN-FREE SINCE 2005.

"SHE AND HER HUSBAND, NICK,"

ARE THANKFUL FOR GOD'S

HEALING.

ONE OF THE CONCLUSIONS

I'VE DRAWN FROM THIS WHOLE

EXPERIENCE IS THAT WE HAVE

A ROLE IN THE RECEIVING OF

OUR MIRACLES.

AND NOT NECESSARILY THAT

WE HAVE TO HAVE SOME GREAT

FAITH.

I DIDN'T HAVE GREAT FAITH.

"I WAS A CHRISTIAN, BUT I"

WASN'T BELIEVING FOR MY

MIRACLE.

"I WAS HOPING FOR, YOU"

"KNOW, A LITTLE BIT OF"

RELIEF FROM PAIN.

I JUST SETTLED.

I SETTLED FOR LESS THAN

WHAT GOD HAD FOR ME.

AND I CAN ASSURE YOU THAT

I'M NOT SETTLING FOR

ANYTHING ANYMORE.

MY HEART BREAKS FOR PEOPLE

WHO HAVE GONE YEARS AND

YEARS AND YEARS IN PAIN.

FOR PEOPLE FOR WHOM THERE

IS NO CURE.

THE DOCTORS SAY THERE IS

NO HELP.

THERE IS NOTHING WE CAN

DO.

BECAUSE I'VE HEARD THOSE

WORDS.

BUT THERE IS HOPE.

AND THERE IS -- IT'S NEVER

TOO LATE FOR GOD.

"AND IF HE CAN HEAL ME,"

THEN HE CAN HEAL ANYONE

WHO IS WATCHING THIS.

HE IS NO RESPECTER OF

PERSONS.

HIS POWER IS THE SAME

TODAY AS IT EVER WAS.

WE DON'T HAVE TO BEG HIM

TO DO WHAT HE WANTS DONE.

"GOOD HEALTH, GOOD"

"RELATIONSHIPS, PEACE AND"

JOY AND FINANCIAL

PROVISION -- HE WANTS THAT

FOR ALL OF US.

SO THAT'S WHAT I HOPE

PEOPLE HEAR FROM ME.

Andrew: WE NOT ONLY

CELEBRATE WHAT GOD HAS

"DONE IN RHONDA'S LIFE, BUT"

TERRY AND I AGREE WITH

RHONDA IN THAT OUR HEART

BREAKS FOR THOSE WHO STILL

WANT ANSWERS TO PRAYER AND

WHO ARE WAITING ON GOD TO

ACT.

WE'RE GOING TO CELEBRATE

SOME WONDERFUL PRAISE

REPORTS.

"FROM JOY, SHE WRITES, ""I"

CONSTANTLY ASK FOR HEALING

"PRAYERS FROM YOUR TEAM,"

AND THREE MONTHS AGO GOD

HEALED ME FROM AN OVARIAN

CYST AND ADIMOSITIS.

AND IT IS COMPLETELY GONE.

I NEVER TOOK ANY

MEDICATION.

IT WAS GOD'S MIRACLE

ALONE.

"PRAISE JESUS."""

Terry: THAT IS

AMAZING.

Andrew: AND KITT

"SAYS, ""I WAS A DRUG ADDICT"

FOR EIGHT YEARS.

MY WIFE AND KIDS LEFT ME

AND I LOST GOOD FRIENDS.

INSTEAD OF BEING

"DEPRESSED, GOD GAVE ME JOY"

"AND WITH HIS LOVE, HE MADE"

ME COMPLETE AND WHOLE

AGAIN.

NOW I'M SHARING THE LOVE

OF THE LORD WITH OTHER

"DRUG VICTIMS."""

Terry: HE CAME TO SET

"THE CAPTIVES FREE, AND"

"THERE YOU ARE, ONE OF MANY"

STORIES.

TIM SAYS -- WE WANT TO

PRAY FOR YOU AND YOUR

NEEDS.

"FLORA SAYS, ""PLEASE PRAY"

FOR MY SON GERALD.

HE WAS DIAGNOSED WITH LUNG

"CANCER."""

"AND THEN TIM SAYS, ""MY"

NEPHEW WAS DIAGNOSED WITH

MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS.

HE IS A YOUNG MAN.

"HE HAS TWO CHILDREN, EIGHT"

"AND FIVE, AND ONE MORE ON"

THE WAY.

"HE IS A CHRISTIAN, RAISING"

HIS CHILDREN TO LOVE GOD.

AND WE'RE ASKING FOR

"PRAYER FOR HEALING."""

WE WANT TO JOIN WITH

"FLORA, FOR HER REQUEST,"

"AND FOR TIM'S NEPHEW, AND"

ASK GOD TO DO THE

IMPOSSIBLE.

THAT'S WHAT HE SPECIALIZES

IN.

GOD SAYS WHERE TWO OR MORE

"ARE GATHERED, HE IS RIGHT"

THERE IN THE MIDST OF THAT

NEED.

LET'S PRAY.

I'M GOING TO START BY

PRAYING FOR TIM'S NEPHEW.

"GOD, SO OFTEN THESE THINGS"

"THAT COME UPON US,"

SIDESWIPE US IN LIFE.

THEY JUST KIND OF TAKE OUR

BREATH AWAY.

WE'RE UNSUSPECTING.

EVERYTHING COMES TO A

"SCREECHING, GRINDING HALT."

AND VERY OFTEN FEAR ENTERS

"OUR HEARTS, AND WE START"

"SAYING, WHAT CAN I DO"

ABOUT THIS?

WHERE WILL THIS END?

AND YET NOTHING IS A

"SURPRISE TO YOU, GOD."

"WHEN WE BELONG TO YOU, AND"

"WE'RE YOUR KIDS, THERE IS"

NOTHING THAT DOESN'T FIRST

PASS BY YOUR THRONE.

WE DON'T ALWAYS

UNDERSTAND.

BUT I KNOW THAT TIM'S

NEPHEW IS RAISING HIS

CHILDREN TO LOVE YOU.

THEY NEED THEIR DADDY.

HE NEEDS YOUR HEALING

"POWER, LORD."

NOT BECAUSE WE ARE WORTHY

OF IT OR HAVE EARNED IT IN

"ANY CAPACITY, BUT BECAUSE"

OF YOUR GREAT MERCY AND

"GRACE, GOD, WE ASK YOU TO"

TOUCH TIM'S NEPHEW.

WE ASK YOU TO REACH YOUR

"HAND OUT TO HIM NOW, LORD"

GOD.

AND WITH THE POWER THAT

"ONLY YOU HAVE FOR HEALING,"

"FOR BRINGING WHOLENESS,"

"GOD, THAT YOU WOULD TOUCH"

THIS BODY AND EVERYTHING

IN HIS BODY WOULD ALIGN

ITSELF WITH YOUR PERFECT

WILL.

JUST SPEAK LIFE AND

WHOLENESS.

REVERSE WHAT THE ENEMY HAS

MEANT FOR EVIL.

"GOD, WE ASK THAT YOUR"

KINGDOM PURPOSES WOULD BE

ACCOMPLISHED IN HIS

NEPHEW'S LIFE.

"AND, GOD, WE LIFT HIM UP"

ON THE ALTER BEFORE YOU

AND ASK YOU TO DO A MIGHTY

HEALING WORK IN HIS NEPHEW

NOW IN JESUS' NAME.

" Andrew: FATHER GOD,"

THANK YOU FOR HEARING OUR

PRAYERS.

"FATHER, WE COME BEFORE YOU"

NOW ON BEHALF OF GERALD

WITH HIS LUNG CANCER

DIAGNOSIS.

"FATHER GOD, WE REBUKE IT"

IN JESUS' NAME.

WE THANK YOU IT WAS

BROUGHT TO LIGHT.

WE THANK YOU THAT THE

DOCTOR HAD WISDOM TO

IDENTIFY THE PROBLEM.

"NOW, LORD, IN THE NAME OF"

"JESUS, WE REBUKE THAT LUNG"

"CANCER, AND WE SPEAK FOR"

IT TO BE GONE.

SO MANY WATCH NOW EITHER

HAVE CANCER OR FAMILY OR

FRIENDS HAVE BEEN

"DIAGNOSED WITH CANCER,"

LORD GOD.

THEY'RE CRYING OUT TO YOU.

"IN THE NAME OF JESUS, WE"

SPEAK HEALING.

"FATHER, WE THANK YOU FOR"

THE REPORTS WE HAVE SEEN

AND READ TODAY OF YOUR

HEALING TOUCH.

"LORD GOD, WE CLAIM IT"

TODAY FOR THOSE IN A

"BATTLE WITH CANCER, LORD"

GOD.

WE SPEAK YOUR HEALING IN

JESUS' PRECIOUS NAME.

" Terry: THANK YOU,"

FATHER.

"AND, FATHER, WE ALSO COME"

AGAINST A SPIRIT OF FEAR.

SO OFTEN WHEN THESE

"DIAGNOSIS COME, LORD,"

WE'RE OVERWHELMED.

WE DECLARE INSTEAD OF LIFE

"AND VICTORY, AND A SPIRIT"

OF FAITH TO COME UPON US

IN JESUS' NAME.

AMEN.

THANK YOU FOR PRAYING WITH

US.

WE BELIEVE THERE IS POWER

WHEN WE COME TOGETHER AND

PUT OUR HEARTS TOGETHER.

"> STILL TO COME, A BOY"

WHO'S MOTHER DIED AND THEN

HIS FATHER ABANDONED HIM.

" WHEN I WAS STARVING, I"

WOULD CLIMB UP A TREE TO

GET SOME FOOD TO EAT.

Terry: FIND OUT HOW

VIEWERS LIKE YOU BROUGHT

"HOPE TO THIS 10-YEAR-OLD,"

RIGHT AFTER THIS.

Terry: IMAGINE BEING

10 YEARS OLD AND HAVING NO

ONE TO LOOK OUT FOR YOU.

THAT'S WHAT HAPPENED TO A

YOUNG 10-YEAR-OLD BOY.

BUT HE HAS A HAPPY ENDING.

AFTER HIS FATHER DIED AND

"HIS MOTHER ABANDONED HIM,"

10-YEAR-OLD THAI WENT TO

LIVE AT A NEIGHBOR'S

HOUSE.

"IN ORDER TO EARN HIS KEEP,"

HE TOOK CARE OF HIS

NEIGHBOR'S COW.

IT WAS FUN TO RIDE ON

"THEIR BACK, BUT THEN ONE"

GOT LOST IN THE JUNGLE.

I WAS SO WORRIED I WOULD

HAVE TO PAY FOR IT.

Terry: THAI FOUND THE

"MISSING COW, BUT THINGS"

WEREN'T GOING WELL WHERE

HE LIVED.

HE FACED CONSTANT HUNGER

AND HAD TO DROP OUT OF THE

SCHOOL TO WATCH THE COWS.

THERE WAS NOT ENOUGH

FOOD AT THE HOUSE.

"WHEN I WAS STARVING, I"

WOULD CLIMB UP THE TREE TO

GET SOME FOOD TO EAT.

Terry: THEN A

CHILDREN'S HOME SUPPORTED

"BY CBN'S ""ORPHANS'"

"PROMISE"" HEARD ABOUT THE"

BOY AND TOOK HIM IN.

HE NO LONGER MISSES MEALS.

I HAVE NEW SHOES AND A

NEW SCHOOL BAG.

I AM SO HAPPY LIVING HERE.

Terry: THAI FEELS

LIKE HE IS PART OF A

FAMILY AGAIN.

I LOVE LISTENING TO THE

STORIES THAT OUR HOUSE

PARENTS TELL US.

HE IS LIKE A FATHER TO ME

AND TAKES CARE OF ME.

"THANK YOU, CBN, FOR"

HELPING ME.

Terry: THIS YOUNG MAN

HAS A WHOLE NEW LIFE.

HE WILL NEVER BE HUNGRY

AGAIN.

HE HAS CLOTHING.

HE HAS PEOPLE AROUND HIM

WHO LOVE HIM.

HE IS BEING EDUCATED AND

HE WILL HAVE A HOPE AND

FUTURE BECAUSE PEOPLE LIKE

YOU CARED.
