TERROR

STRIKES FROM MAN HATTAN TO

MINNESOTA.

INVESTIGATORS WANT TO SEE WHO

LAUNCHED

A BOMBING AND WHY.

PLUS, THEY ARE THE

NON-RELIGIOUS

GROUPS IN AMERICA.

WHAT THIS COULD MEAN FOR

RELIGIOUS

FREEDOM.

AND, HOW A CHRISTIAN DISCIPLE

SHIP

PROGRAM IS SETTING THEM FREE

BODY AND

SOUL.

THANKS FOR JOINING US FOR

A BOMB EXPLODED IN NEW YORK

AND A

STABBING.

THE BOMB INJURED 29 PEOPLE IN

MANHATTAN'S NEIGHBORHOOD.

IT'S UNCLEAR IF THEY ARE

DIRECTLY

LINKED TO WHAT HAPPENED IN

NEW YORK

CITY.

A DRAMATIC MOMENT CAPTURED

ON TAPE

AS A DEVICE EXPLODES OUTSIDE

A TRAIN

STATION IN NEW JERSEY EARLY

THIS

MORNING JUST AS THE BOMB

SQUAD WAS

PREPARING TO DISARM IT.

THE FBI SAYS FOUR OTHER BOMBS

WERE

FOUND IN THE BACKPACK.

ONE OFFICIAL SAID HAD ALL THE

BOMBS

HAVE GONE OFF, THE EXPLOSION

WOULD

HAVE CERTAINLY KILLED MANY.

THE BOMB JUST WENT OFF IN

NEW YORK.

THIS COMES AFTER A BOMB

EXPLODED IN

NEW YORK CITY SATURDAY

EVENING.

IT SHATTERED THE WINDOW.

THE EXPLOSION WAS SO

POWERFUL,

OFFICERS ARE SHOCKED IT

DIDN'T KILL

ANYONE.

YOU ARE OKAY.

NOTHING IS GOING TO HAPPEN.

ALL 29 PEOPLE INJURED

SINCE HAVE

BEEN RELEASED FROM AREA

HOSPITALS.

POLICE SAY THE BOMB WHICH WAS

PLACED

IN THIS DUMPSTER AND ANOTHER

FOUND

NEARBY WERE -- OFFICIALS ARE

COVERING

PIECES OF THE BOMB.

THE REST IS BEING SENT FOR

REVIEW

AND WE ARE CONTINUING TO WORK

JOINTLY

WITH NYPD.

ALSO OFFICIALS ARE TRYING

TO FIND

OUT IF THE BOMB FOUND IN

MANHATTAN WHY

LINKED TO THE BOMB IN NEW

JERSEY.

THAT THE MAN WHO ATTACKED

WAS A

SOLDIER FROM THE ISLAMIC

STATE.

HE ASKED THE MAN IF HE WAS A

MUSLIM.

THIS COMES BEFORE THE FIRST

PRESIDENTIAL DEBATE PUTTING

TERRORISM

BACK ON THE NATIONAL

SPOTLIGHT.

GEORGE THOMAS, CBN NEWS.

BEGINNING TO WONDER IF

THEY ARE

AWARE OF THE TERRORIST ATTACK.

THIS ATTACK LEFT PEOPLE

SERIOUSLY

WOUNDED.

THERE WAS A SURGE IN STABBING

ATTACKS

IN JERUSALEM.

WITH THE UPCOMING JEWISH

HOLIDAYS IN 2

WEEKS, THERE HAS BEEN AN

INCREASE IN

TERROR ATTACKS ALONG WITH

MORTARS FROM

THE SYRIAN AND CIVIL WAR.

AHEAD OF THE HOLIDAYS, THE

RISK

THRESHOLD HAS RISEN.

THE POLICED BOOSTING THEIR

FORCES.

THEIR SECURITY FORCES ARE ON

HIGH

ALERT AND I WILL MEET WITH

THEM IN

ORDER TO ENSURE WE ARE READY

FOR THE

PEOPLE DURING THIS SENSITIVE

PERIOD.

AT THE SAME TIME, OUR EYES

ARE ON THE

NORTH.

WE WILL NOT ALLOW AN

ADDITIONAL FRONT

TO GET IN ISRAEL NOT THERE OR

NO WHERE

ELSE.

AFTER AN UNLEASHING BRUTAL

ATTACK.

IT TOOK MONTHS TO CONTROL.

A GENERAL AGREEMENT IN

MIGRANTS

WILL COME TOGETHER TO DISCUSS

THE

NATIONAL MOVEMENT OF MIGRANTS.

NEARLY 1 MILLION PEOPLE ARE

DISPLACED

AROUND THE WORLD.

PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA WILL

MEET WITH

THE GOVERNOR AND WILL FIGURE

OUT HOW

TO DEAL WITH THE PEOPLE FROM

THE

ISLAMIC STATE.

HE MADE A COMMENT, HE SAID

I

WELCOME THEM INTO YOUR HOMES

AND

COMMUNITIES SO THEY ARE NOT A

DRAMATIC

EXPERIENCE OF SLEEPING ON

COLD

STREETS, BUT ONE OF OF

WELCOME.

POLICE RAIDED IN ISTANBUL

CAPTURED

FROM OTHER NATIONS. THEY WERE

INVOLVED

IN CONFLICTS IN SYRIA.

OFFICIALS ARE ON ALERT AFTER

A SUICIDE

BOMBING THAT LEFT MANY PEOPLE

DEAD.

THE REGION IS EXPERIENCED

A HEAT

WAVE.

ON SUNDAY, 160 PEOPLE WERE

TREATED FOR

HEAT RELATED ILLNESSES AT THE

LOS

ANGELES RAMS FOOTBALL GAME.

A FIRE CHIEF IS STANDING

UP FOR HIS

FAITH. FORMER CHIEF WAS FIRED

IN 2014

AFTER PEOPLE TOOK ISSUES WITH

WHAT HE

WROTE.

SAYING HIS BIBLICAL VIEWS WHY

DISCRIMINATORY.

HE WAS HONORED WITH A

PRESTIGIOUS

AWARD AT A TIME WHEN

RELIGIOUS FREEDOM

IS UNDER ATTACK.

THE RELIGIOUS LANDSCAPE OF

AMERICA IS

CHANGING WITH A DRAMATIC

SHIFT YOUNG

PEOPLE.

STUDIES SHOW MILLENNIALS ARE

LESS

RELIGIOUS THAN THEIR PARENTS

WERE.

WE TAKE A LOOK AT WHAT IT ALL

MEANS.

DESPITE OUR JUDEO

CHRISTIAN ROOTS

MANY ARE FINDING THEY ARE NOT

RELIGIOUS. 35,000 WITH

RELIGIOUS VIEWS

IN 2007 AND REPEATED LATER.

THOSE CALLED THEMSELVES

CHRISTIANS

DROPPED NEARLY 8% DRAWING THE

LINE

BETWEEN PROTESTANTS AND

NON-CATHOLIC

CHRISTIANS.

AT THE SAME TIME,

AMERICANS WHO SAY

THEY ARE ATHEIST, AGNOSTIC

JUMPED BY

MORE THAN 6% MAKING THE NUNS

23% OF

THE POPULATION.

THREE DEMOCRATS AND ONE

REPUBLICAN

TALKED ABOUT THIS CHANGING

AND THE

ROLE FAITH PLAYS IN THEIR

JOBS AS

LEADERS.

I HAVE STRUGGLED IN 22

YEARS

F I WOULD SHARE THAT.IF YOUR

FAITH

ONLY MATTERS ON WEEKEND. IT'S

A HOBBY.

IF IT AFFECTS MY WIFE AND HOW

WE TREAT

EACH OTHER.

IT SHOULDN'T BE BECAUSE I WAS

ELECTED

AS LAWMAKERS WORK THROUGH

THESE

ISSUES, THEY SAY OPEN

DIALOGUE IS

CRITICAL.

PEOPLE SAY YOU ARE FOR

RELIGIOUS

LIBERTY OR GAY MARRIAGE.

OR IF YOU SUPPORT RELIGIOUS

LIBERTY,

THEN YOU ARE ANTIGAY AND THEY

WANT TO

PULL THAT APART.

THAT'S NOT WHO WE HAVE AND

NOT WHO

WE'LL BE AS A NATION.

THAT IS A VERY PRECARIOUS

ROAD OF

PRESCRIPTING SPEECH.

THIS IS SILENCING PEOPLE

OF FAITH

AND A GROWING CONGREGATION.

HE SAYS AN INDIVIDUAL'S RIGHT

TO

EXERCISE THEIR RELIGION MUST

BE ON

EQUAL FOOTING WITH INDIVIDUAL

LIBERTY.

AS LONG AS WE CAN CONTINUE

TO LIFT

UP THE IMPORTANCE OF

INDIVIDUAL

RELIGIOUS FREE EXERCISE AND

THAT IT

DESERVES AN EQUAL FOOTING IN

SOCIETY

WITH WITH RESPECT TO

INDIVIDUAL

LIBERTY.

DEVOUT CHRISTIANS ARE

ACTUALLY

READING THEIR BIBLE MORE THAN

7 YEARS

AGO.

SENATOR CANE SAYS WE ARE

BLESSING FOR

THOSE WHO CAN TALK ABOUT THIS

CIVILLY.

A WORLD WHERE THERE IS NO

APPROACH TO

SEPARATIST LIBERAL BELIEFS.

COMING UP, A PROSTITUTE IS

CONFRONTED BY A NEIGHBOR WITH

A BULL

HORN.

NOW THIS FORMER STREETWALKER

CALLS HER

NEIGHBOR MOM.

SEE THIS REMARKABLE STORY

AFTER THIS.

AFTER THIS.

> MORE THAN 2 MILLION

PEOPLE ARE

LOCKED UP IN THE CRIMINOLOGIST

JUSTICE

SYSTEM.

THE QUESTION REMAINS, CAN

INMATES

CHANGE AND LIVE CRIME FREE

ONCE THEY

ARE RELEASED.

WE FOUND A REHABILITATION

PROGRAM WITH

A NEAR PERFECT RECORD. IT'S

BASED

ENTIRELY ON THE IDEA OF

CHRISTIAN

DISCIPLE SHIP.

FOR THE FATHER AND GLORY

WITH

WISDOM AND REVELATION.

THIS IS NOT YOUR USUAL

BIBLE GROUP.

EACH DAY THEY READ TOGETHER

THE BIBLE

AND HOLD EACH OTHER

ACCOUNTABLE. IT'S

WHAT THEY NEED AS CONVICTED

FELONS.

WE ARE NOT BAD PEOPLE.

WITH THEIR PAST WITH THE

CRIMINAL

JUSTICE SYSTEM, THEIR

EXPERIENCE IS

OFTEN THE SAME.

AS THEY ARE TRYING TO FIGHT

FOR A

SECOND CHANCE.

INSIDE THAT DOOR, THEY ARE

GIVEN A

PLACE TO CALL HOME ALONG WITH

OTHERS

THEY HAVE COME TO KNOW AS

FAMILY.

THIS IS OUR LITTLE KITCHEN.

CHRISTIAN COUNSELOR SHARES

THIS

HOME WITH THE WOMEN.

HER GOAL, HELPING FEMALE

INMATES

RELEASED FROM PRISON TO HELP

THEM FIND

WORK AND BECOME PRODUCTIVE IN

SOCIETY.

FOR WOMEN WITH CRIMES SUCH AS

GRAND

THEFT AND EVEN MURDER.

I DESERVE TO BE ON DEATH

ROW AND IN

LIFE IN PRISON.

ONLY FOR THE GRACE OF GOD

THAT HE HAD

ANOTHER PLAN FOR MY LIFE.

SHE SPENT HER LIFE USING

DRUGS AND

COCAINE ADDICTION.

I DID EVERYTHING I COULD

DO JUST TO

SURVIVE.

SHE SHOWED US WHERE SHE

SLEPT ON

THE BEACH UNDER THESE STAIRS.

BY DAY SHE WORKED THIS STREET

CORNER.

FOR A HABIT SHE COULDN'T KICK

AND

CHRISTIAN NEIGHBORS WHO KNEW

WHAT SHE

WAS UP TO.

I WOULD GET ON THE BULL

HORN AND

SAY THIS IS A NO PROSTITUTION

ZONE.

I WOULD GET UP WITH MY

PANTS AND

I'M LIKE, IF YOU DON'T GO

BACK INTO

YOUR HOUSE, I'M HIGH AND TRY

TO WORK

AND I WOULD GO BACK AND FORTH.

THAT WAS MY FIRST

ENCOUNTER WITH

DAUN BUT I DIDN'T KNOW HER

AND I WAS

PRAYING FOR HER AND OTHERS

LIKE HER.

UNTIL A CONVICTION CAUGHT

UP WITH

HER WHEN SHE WAS FOUND ALONE

IN A CELL

WITH A BIBLE WHERE SHE

EXPERIENCED THE

RADICAL CHANGE.

I CALLED OUT TO GOD AND

SAID, GOD,

IF WHAT YOU ARE SAYING IS

REAL AND YOU

WILL SET ME FREE FROM ALL

THIS

BONDAGE, IF YOU WILL SET ME

FREE, I

WILL TELL PEOPLE WHAT YOU

HAVE DONE IN

MY LIFE.

AFTER GETTING OUT SHE

FINISHED IN

BIBLICAL STUDIES. SHE SEE'S

THIS NEW

LIFE AS A MIRACLE AND A

REMINDER AS

HER PROMISE TO SHOW INMATES

THERE IS

HOPE.

I HAVE NEVER SEEN ANYONE

WHO HAVE

COME OUT OF MY LIFESTYLE AND

MADE IT.

I TOLD THE LORD, I WANT TO BE

THE ONE

TO DO IT.

THE DEPARTMENT OF

CORRECTIONS IS

HELPING HER REACH WOMEN IN

THE SAME

PRISON SHE SERVED TIME. SHE'S

ALSO

WORKING WITH PASTOR CHERYL

BRADY.

THE MOST DEVELOPING

PARTNERSHIP WITH

THE MOST UNEXPECTED PERSON.

NEVER WOULD I DREAM THAT 5

YEARS

LATER I WOULD BE IN A

CONFERENCE AND

HERE COMES THIS LITTLE LADY

THAT I

ONCE KNEW AS THE BULL HORN.

SHE LOOKED AT ME AND SAID

YOU DON'T

REMEMBER ME, DO YOU? YOU ARE

THE LADY

WITH THE BULL HORN AND I SAID

YOU ARE

THE LADY ON THE CORNER.

THIS PROGRAM HAS A 98%

SUCCESS RATE

AND A YEAR LONG WAITING LIST.

SHE CREDITS BOTH GOD AND DAWN

FOR

GIVING HER HOPE AND HE NEW

IDENTITY.

I'M GRATEFUL THAT HE JUST

TOOK

SOMEBODY LIKE ME AND ALL OF

US AND

TURNED ALL OF OUR UGLINESS

AND HE MADE

UP ALL BEAUTIFUL. SHE PLANS

TO OPEN A

HOPE.

HER PLAN IS TO SEE REVIVAL IN

THE

MISSION.

WHEN YOU LEAVE YOU ARE

GOING TO

LEAVE US.

I REFUSE TO HEAR THAT.

I'M GOING TO LIVE FOR JESUS

AND I'M

GOING TO STAY ON FIRE. I WANT

TO SEE

REVIVAL.

REPORTING FROM DAYTONA,

FLORIDA.

UP NEXT, THEY SERVED THEIR

COUNTRY

BUT GOD GAVE THEM ANOTHER

MISSION.

THEY DIDN'T HAVE ENOUGH MONEY

TO

COMPLETE IT.

FIND OUT HOW THIS MILITARY

FAMILY GOT

THE HELP THEY NEEDED.

> CHRISTINA HAD A DREAM TO

FOSTER

AND ADOPT CHILDREN, BUT

EXPENSES

INTERFERED WITH MAKING THEIR

DREAMS A

REALITY.

THAT'S WHY HELPING THIS HOME

FRONT,

GAVE THIS FAMILY A HAND UP.

HE'S SERVED IN THE UNITED

STATES

MARINES MAINTAINING COMPUTER

SYSTEMS.

I'M PROUD TO SERVE MY

COUNTRY

BECAUSE I FEEL THIS IS THE

GREATEST

COUNTRY ON EARTH AND I FEEL

THAT GOD

BLESSES THE PEOPLE THAT SERVE.

LIKE MOST MILITARY

FAMILIES FIND

DEPLOYMENTS VERY CHALLENGING.

MY FAITH IS ABSOLUTELY

NECESSARY TO

GET THROUGH DEPLOYMENTS.

WHEN YOU ARE IN THAT

PLACE,

EVERYBODY STARTS THINKING

ABOUT WHAT

IF SOMETHING BAD WOULD REALLY

HAPPEN?

OUR FAITH HELPS US TO

UNDERSTAND THAT

EVERYTHING IS GOING TO BE

OKAY.

ANOTHER CHALLENGE THEY

FACE IS

FINANCIAL WITH SEVERAL LARGE

EXPENSES

INCLUDING FUNERAL COST WHEN

CHRISTINA'S MOTHER DIED AND

FOUND THAT

ADOPTING CHILDREN WOULD BE

DIFFICULT.

WE WANTED TO MAKE SURE

THEY WOULD

BE HAPPY.

OUR VEHICLE DIED.

IT SEEMS LIKE A CRAZY CRAZY

TIME TO

GET A FOSTER LICENSE.

STILL, THEY BELIEVE GOD TO

MAKE A

WAY FOR THEM TO PROCEED.

WE ARE GOING TO DO IT AND

IT'S

GOING TO BE WONDERFUL.

IT'S GOING TO BE A GLORIOUS

CHAOS.

THE CALIFORNIA FRONT ASKED

IF WE

COULD HELP.

WE WERE HAPPY TO DELIVER THE

GOOD NEWS.

I HAVE NEVER HAD THE

PRIVILEGE OF

GIVING THE NEWS THAT I'M

GOING TO GIVE

YOU.

I'M DELIGHTED TO TELL YOU

THAT YOUR

MOTHER'S FUNERAL EXPENSES ARE

GOING TO

BE PAID BY CBN.

THE THIRD SUV SO YOU CAN

ADOPT, AND

THE VEHICLE YOU NEED FIXED

THEY ARE

GOING TO TEAR -- CARE OF

THAT TOO AND

THE SHOPPING SPREE AS WELL.

I THINK IT'S MIND-BLOWING

BECAUSE

WE AREN'T USED TO BEING

BLESSED THIS

WAY.

THEY TOOK THE VAN TO BE

REPAIRED

AND THEN TO SHOPPING FOR

OTHER ITEMS.

THIS FAMILY CAN NOW WELCOME

CHILDREN

INTO THEIR HOME.

THIS IS AN ANSWER TO

PRAYER.

THIS ISN'T THE PICTURE THAT I

HAD IN

MY MIND.

IT'S GREAT TO SEE HOW GOD

WORKS WITH A

WAY BETTER PLAN THAT I WOULD

HAD OR

THOUGHT OF.
