CELEBRATE AN ANNIVERSARY

THAT

CHANGED THE WORLD.

MANY PEOPLE CAME TO THE

LORD THAN

ANY OTHER ORGANIZATION IN THE

WORLD.

AND TAKE A TRIP DOWN

MEMORY LANE.

THIS MAN IS THE GREATEST

VISIONARY

I EVER MET.

55 YEARS ON THE AIR.

ON TODAY'S "700 CLUB".

Pat: WELCOME, FOLKS.

WELCOME TO THIS EDITION OF

THE "700

CLUB".

IT'S ROSH SHAN AN AND IT'S 55

YEARS.

THE FIRST BROADCAST OCTOBER

1, 1961.

TODAY WE ARE GOING TO

CELEBRATE WITH

ALL OF YOU ON THIS GREAT DAY.

WE ARE GOING BACK TO THE

DAY IT ALL

STARTED AND WE'LL SHOW YOU

THE

MARVELOUS THINGS THAT GOD HAS

DONE IN

THESE 55 YEARS.

AND OUR SPECIAL GUEST TODAY.

IT'S SUCH A THRILL TO HAVE

HIM BACK

TODAY. ALL THAT AND MORE

COMING UP.

Pat: FIRST WE HAVE TO TELL

YOU

WHAT'S GOING ON IN THE NEWS.

WE HAVE

HAPPY TIMES AND THEN IN THE

NEWS IT'S

BAD TIMES.

DONALD TRUMP IS TRYING TO

MAKE AN

EMBARRASSING TO A WIN AFTER

THE MEDIA

GOT THEIR HANDS-ON ONE OF HIS

OLD TAX

RETURNS AND HILLARY CLINTON

HAS HER

OWN TROUBLES.

WELL, OUGHT I -- AUDIO TAPE

SAY SHE

INSULTED BERNIE SANDERS

SUPPORTERS.

MEDIA SAYS TRUMP SENT THEM

HIS 1995

TRUMP RETURNS WHICH SHOWS A

$19

MILLION LOSS WHICH SAYS TRUMP

COULD

HAVE PAID NO TAXES FOR UP TO

19 YEARS.

HE CALLS IT GENIUS.

NO ONE HAS SHOWN MORE

GENIUS AS A

WAY TO USE THE TAX CODES IT'S

A

PERFECT LAW TO DO THAT.

IT'S A PERFECT LAW. DON'T

YOU THINK

THAT IS A GENIUS.

THAN A WOMAN WHO'S ONLY WORK

SHE

PRODUCED WAS FOR THE FBI TO

CHECK HER

E-MAILS.

IT'S A COLOSSAL IMPACT TO

HIS TAX.

IF THEY THINK HE'S SMART

AND THE

REST OF US ARE DUMMIES, I

THINK THEY

HAVE A DISTORTED VIEW OF WHAT

THIS

COUNTRY IS ABOUT.

THAT SAME POINT THAT

HILLARY

CLINTON AND BILL USED IN THE

SAME

LOOPHOLE WITH A LOSS TO AVOID

PAYING

TAXES. CLINTON HAS TAX

PROBLEMS ON HER

OWN AND REFERRED TO BERNIE

SANDERS

SUPPORTERS AS BASEMENT

DWELLERS.

BERNIE SANDERS SAYS HE WAS

UPSET BY

CLINTON'S WORDS.

MEANWHILE TRUMP DIALED IN

ON

HILLARY CLINTON'S HEALTH.

SHE COULD BE CRAZY. I

DON'T THINK

SHE'S EVEN LOYAL TO BILL. SHE

SHOULD

BE IN PRISON.

CALLED PARTICULARLY

UNHINGED.

SPEAKING IN CHARLTON THE

DIVIDE.

WE CAN CALL TO REFORM ON

POLICING

WHILE STILL APPRECIATING THE

MANY

COURAGEOUS AND ADMIRABLE

OFFICERS OUT

THERE.

DALE HURD, CBN NEWS.

Pat: SHE'S DEPLORABLE.

AMONG OTHER NEWS, A MONSTER

HURRICANE.

THEY HAVE A TERRIBLE OUTBREAK

OF

DISEASE THAT WAS BROUGHT IN

BY UN

FORCES, AND IT LOOKS LIKE

THIS

HURRICANE MAY CAUSE A NUMBER

OF SEWER

SYSTEMS TO OVERFLOW AND IT

WILL BE A

DOUBLE HIT ON THAT COUNTRY.

THAT'S RIGHT, PAT.

PEOPLE ARE BRACING FOR A

CATASTROPHIC

HIT FROM A CATEGORY 4

HURRICANE.

IT'S BARRELLING TOWARDS THE

NATION AT

130 MILES PER HOUR. MATTHEW

HAS BEEN A

SLOW MOVING STORM WHICH

THREATENS A

HUGE RISK OF FLOODING TO

JAMAICA AND

CUBA.

IT'S STILL UNCLEAR WHAT

IMPACT THE

HURRICANE WILL HAVE DIRECTLY

ON THE

US. THE SOME MODELS SHOW IT

COULD MAKE

CONTACT WITH THE EAST COAST.

WHILE THERE IS AN

OVERCOMING SHADOW

WITH THE ELECTION, HACKERS

HAVE

THREATENED VOTER COMPUTERS

WITH THE

STATE.

WE ARE LOOKING AT WHAT

MISCHIEF

RUSSIA IS UP TO WITH OUR

ELECTION.

THEY ARE WORKING TO BLOCK

THE CYBER

ATTACKS THAT MIGHT THREATEN

THE VOTER

CONFIDENCE IN THE ELECTION.

MORE THAN 1,000 INELIGIBLE

IMMIGRANTS REGISTERED TO VOTE

IN

VIRGINIA.

THE GROUP WARNS THE PROBLEM

LIKELY IS

MUCH WORSE BECAUSE 100 OTHER

COUNTIES

DID NOT COMPLY WITH ITS

INVESTIGATION.

PASTORS ACROSS ARE

AMERICA, MORE

THAN 4,000 ATTENDED AN EVENT

CALLED

PICK -- PULPIT FREEDOM.

THE ALLIANCE FOR FREEDOM IS

ADDRESSING

A NEW BILL. THEY ARE TALKING

ABOUT

THEIR STATUS IF THEY SPEAK

OUT.

> UNCOVERED NEW EVIDENCE.

THEY SAY IT SUPPORTS THE

BIBLICAL

ACCOUNT IF DESTROYED THE HIGH

PLACES

FROM THE LAND OF ISRAEL. JOHN

SHOWS US

WHAT THEY FOUND.

THIS LATEST DISCOVERY BY

ISRAELI

ARCHEOLOGIST GOES BACK TO 800

BC.

IT SAYS IT PARALLELS THE

BIBLE.

IT WAS 29 YEARS FROM

JERUSALEM AS

SCRIPTURE SAID HE DID WHAT

WAS RIGHT

FROM THE LORD.

BUT HE HAD TROUBLE IN THIS

KINGDOM.

THIS WAS RECENTLY N COVERED

IN THE

EXCAVATION IN THE NATIONAL

PARK OF

ISRAEL.

IT'S SOMETHING THAT

REPLACED THAT

EVERYTHING IS GOING ON INSIDE.

ARCHEOLOGIST SAID ANCIENT

WAS AN

IMPORTANT CITY BACK IN

JERUSALEM.

WE HAVE A LOT OF PLASTER

AND WHERE

PEOPLE CAN STATE.

ELDERS, JUDGES AND KINGS

WOULD HAVE

SAT HERE IN THE

ADMINISTRATIVE

HEADQUARTERS.

JARS AND HANDELS ALSO POINT

TO THE

ROYALS OF THE GATE.

WE FOUND THOSE CALLED THE

MEN OF

JOULS WHICH MEANS IT BELONGS

TO THE

KING.

AND THEY DEALT HARSHLY

WITH HIM

WITH A HORN CUTOFF.

IT READS "KING HAS REMOVED

THE HIGH

PLACES AND CUT DOWN THE

POLES"

ARCHEOLOGIST ALSO TALKED TO

THE TIMES.

BESIDES THIS PLACE, WE

HAVE A

TOILET SECURE WITH THE HOLE

IN THE

MIDDLE.

ALSO IN SECOND KING,

SCRIPTURE SAYS

JAY WHO BROKE DOWN THE PILAR

AND MADE

IT AN LATRINE TO THIS DAY.

NOW WE HAVE THE STORY FROM

THE

BIBLE WITH THE TOILET.

THESE OFFER PROOF FROM THE

BIBLE AS

TO WHAT ZACHIA DID.

THIS IS A HOLY OF THE GATE

SHRINE

THAT WE FOUND.

THEY DUG AND FOUND THE

SLING SHOT.

IT'S LIKE YOU TAKE THE

BIBLE IN

YOUR HAND.

HE ADDED THE BIBLE COULD

STAND ON

HIS OWN.

WE DON'T NEED TO MOVE THE

BIBLE. WE

HAVE THE BIBLE IN ARCHAEOLOGY.

IF IT'S MENTIONED IT'S

MENTIONED EVEN

IN OUR STORY IT'S MENTIONED.

PAT, THESE ARE SOME

FASCINATING

ARCHEOLOGICAL FINDS.

Pat: LIKE HE SAYS, WE TAKE

THE BIBLE

AND WE DON'T HAVE THAT

VALIDATE THE

BIBLE, BUT IT'S GOOD TO HAVE

THE

VALIDATION.

TODAY IS THE BEGINNING OF A

JEWISH NEW

YEAR CALLED ROSH HASHANA.

LAST NIGHT WE CELEBRATED IT

HERE.

A TREMENDOUS ROSH HASHANA

CELEBRATION

BECAUSE WE BELIEVE IN THESE

FEAST.

IT BEGAN AT SUNSET.

THAT'S RIGHT.

LAST NIGHT THE JEWISH

FESTIVAL OF

ROSH HASHANA.

IT WAS A GREAT FESTIVAL WITH

LOTS OF

DANCING.

LAST NIGHT IN THE REGENT

UNIVERSITY

CHAPEL, THE SOUND WAS THE

BEGINNING OF

THE LORD'S FEAST.

ROSH HASHANA.

WELCOME, EVERYONE. THIS IS

A

WONDERFUL TIME. MAY YOU BE

SIGNED AND

SEALED FOR A VERY GOOD YEAR.

WE ARE HERE FOR A

CELEBRATION TO

WELCOME BACK THE LION OF THE

TRIBE OF

JUDEA.

MUSICIAN PAUL WILBERT LED

THEM IN

SONG AND DANCE.

THE NIGHT WAS A JOY OF

CELEBRATION OF

GOD'S GOODNESS AND GOD'S

FAITHFULNESS.

THAT'S WHY THEY MAKE A BIG

DEAL

OUT OF THIS FEAST BECAUSE WE

WANT TO

SEE JESUS.

HE SAYS TO THE LORD, EVEN

COME LORD

JESUS.

PAT, I WAS SITTING WITH

SOME OF OUR

PARTNERS LAST NIGHT, THEY

DIDN'T WANT

THE CELEBRATION TO END.

Pat: IT WAS OVERWHELMINGLY

BEAUTIFUL

AND I'M GLAD TO BE PART OF IT.

THE DANCING AND OUR DEAR

FRIEND HUMMEL

HAS GONE TO BE WITH THE LORD.

HE BEAT

CANCER AND THEN IT CAME BACK

WITH A

VENGEANCE.

ANYWAY, HE WAS THERE ON OUR

SPECIAL

DAY.

MEANTIME, I HAVE SOMETHING

SPECIAL AND

IT'S BEEN AROUND A LONG TIME.

I HAVE BEEN AROUND A LONG

TIME. THE

BIBLE SAYS BE FRUITFUL AND

MULTIPLY.

I'M DOING IT.

ARE WE DOING A REPORT?

I HAVE GOT 14

GRANDCHILDREN.

NOW I HAVE 7 GREAT

GRANDCHILDREN, ONE

PREGNANT WITH TWINS AND IT

WILL GIVE

ME 10 GREAT GRANDCHILDREN.

I AM A PATRIARCH.

ALL RIGHT, WHAT DO YOU HAVE?

WE KNEW THAT.

UP NEXT, CELEBRATING 55 YEARS

OF

BROADCASTING AND THE

EVOLUTION OF CBN

NEWS. WE ARE GOING TO TAKE

YOU BACK TO

THE BEGINNING AND SHOW YOU

HOW CBN

EARNED THE TRUSTFUL NAME.

WE'LL BE RIGHT BACK RIGHT

AFTER THIS.

AMERICA.

Pat: WELCOME BACK. WE'VE

GOT A

WONDERFUL AUDIENCE IN THE

STUDIO.

CBN PARTNERS COME FROM ALL

OVER TO BE

HERE WITH US.

WE ARE THRILLED TO SEE THEM

TO SHARE

IN THIS MARVELOUS OCCASION.

55 YEARS.

TODAY THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF

TV

CHANNELS AND DOZENS DEDICATED

TO NEWS

FROM ALL PERSPECTIVES. IN THE

EARLY

CBN NEWS, IT WASN'T THAT

OCCASION.

WHEN WE DECIDED TO BROADCAST

NEWS FROM

THE CHRISTIAN PERSPECTIVE.

NOT LONG AFTER IT'S FIRST

BROADCAST.

MANY LOOKED FOR CHRISTIANS

FOR

INSPIRATION.

JESUS IS GOING TO COME

BACK.

BY THE 1970s IN AMERICA,

PAT

ROBERTSON SAT WITH JIMMY

CARTER. THEIR

SUBJECT A TOPIC RARELY

DISCUSSED ABOUT

FAITH.

AT THAT MOMENT CBN NEWS WAS

BORN.

OVER THE NEXT FEW YEARS

CHRISTIANS

AROUND THE COUNTRY BEGAN

LETTING THEIR

VOICES BE HEARD.

RONALD REAGAN WAS THERE AND

WHEN A

WOULD ABOUT ASSASSIN MADE HIS

WAY.

A SERIES OF SHOTS RANG

OUT.

VIEWERS PRAYED WITH THE

"700 CLUB".

THEN HE SERVED AS COMMANDER

IN CHIEF.

THIS IS A NATION UNDER GOD

AND AS

LONG AS WE RECOGNIZE THAT, I

THINK YOU

WILL HELP US.

NO QUESTION ABOUT IT.

A NEWS DIVISION FORMALLY

BEGAN IN

1982 AND AMERICA AND THE

WORLD WAS

CHANGING. THE RADICAL MUSLIMS

WERE

SAVERING ACROSS THE MIDDLE

EAST.

FARTHER DOWN SOUTH CBN OPENED

AN

OFFICE INSIDE JERUSALEM TO

COVER THE

LATEST NEWS IN ISRAEL.

NO ONE IN THIS NATION LAND

WILL

PREDICT WHAT THESE NEXT TWO

NATIONS

WILL SEE.

AS THE NEWS WAS HEATING

UP, THE

COLD WAR WAS WINDING DOWN.

PAT AND BILLY GRAHAM VISITED

A NEWLY

UNIFIED GERMANY AFTER THE

BERLIN WALL.

IN RUSSIA, THE GOVERNMENT

OPENED

IT'S BORDERS.

FOR THE FIRST TIME SOVIET

UNION WAS

ALLOWED TO LEAVE THE BORDER.

AND CBN NEWS NOTICED IT'S

BIBLICAL

SIGNIFICANCE.

THAT IT COULD FULFILL THE

BIBLE

PROPHECY.

I DID NOT HAVE SEXUAL

RELATIONS

WITH THAT WOMAN.

CBN COVERED THE FIRST

AMERICAN

IMPEACHMENT OF A PRESIDENT IN

130

YEARS.

AND OUTSIDE OF POLITICS, CBN

NEWS

PARKHILL WAS ONE OF THE FIRST

PEOPLE

TO DEMONSTRATE ON NATIONAL TV

CALLED

THE INTERNET.

THIS WILL TAKE THE PLACE

OF

TELEVISION.

THIS NEW AGE ENTERED THE

MILLENNIA

OF A START OF PROGRESS.

AND THE HANGING CHAD IN

FLORIDA. AND

THEN ONE SEPTEMBER MORNING,

CBN NEWS

-- ANCHOR.

A PLANE HAS CRASHED.

AFTER THE 911 TERROR

ATTACKS,

PEOPLE ACROSS AMERICA WERE

LOOKING FOR

ANSWERS AND CBN WITH ANSWERS

FOR

RESTORING FAITH.

AND FOLLOWED THEM INTO

BATTLE.

THAT WAS THE LAST POSITION

TO REACH

ANY TARGET IN THE CITY.

TO KEEP UP, CBN'S

NEWSWATCH

LAUNCHED A WEBSITE AND SOON

IT'S

REPORTER'S COVERED EVERY

MAJOR EVENT

IN THE WORLD.

FROM NATURAL DISASTERS TO THE

HURRICANE IN KATRINA TO THE

MIDDLE

EAST.

IN THE AGE OF COVERING THE

NEWS, YOU

CAN SEE DAVID BRODY ON

CAPITOL HILL OR

EFREM GRAHAM.

ITS TEAM HAS COVERED AROUND

THE WORLD.

NOW WHEN NEWS BREAKS, CBN

IS THERE.

BUT THE TRUE PART HAS NEVER

BEEN IN

THE HEADLINES.

CBN REMEMBERED THOSE

FORGOTTEN.

CBN NEWS IS ON THE SCENE

STANDING ON

THE WALL AS MODERN DAY WATCH

MEN AND

PROCLAIMING THE TRUTH FROM

EVERY

NATION TO EVERY SCREEN.

Pat: THAT'S WONDERFUL TO

HEAR.

IT'S BEEN A MARVELOUS RIDE

FOR 55

YEARS.

WE HAD A BAND, REMEMBER MOOSE

SMITH?

I REMEMBER MOOSE.

MOOSE WAS JAMMING IN THE

"700 CLUB".

IT COST ENOUGH MONEY TO PAY

FOR THE

MUSICIANS.

I BEGAN THE CONFERENCE AND

PEOPLE SAID

WE WANT TO WATCH THE NEWS,

THEY WERE

NOT INTERESTED IN MOOSE.

[ LAUGHTER ]

HE DIDN'T MEAN THAT.

WE SAID, LET'S TAKE THAT

MONEY AND

EMPHASIZE NEWS. WE'LL GO WITH

NEWS AND

WE DON'T NEED A BAND ON THE

AIR.

I WANT TO SAY BECAUSE WE

HAVE SO

MANY FRIENDS IN THE AUDIENCE

HOW MANY

OF YOU SAID THAT HOW MUCH YOU

ENJOY

GETTING NEWS FROM A CHRISTIAN

PERSPECTIVE, BUT A STRAIGHT

STORY. I

KNOW IT MEANS A LOT TO THE

VIEWERS OF

700.

WE HAVE JOURNALIST AND

THEY TELL IT

LIKE IT IS. THEY JUST TELL

THE TRUTH

OF WHAT'S THERE.

ANYHOW, THAT'S, POOR MOOSE.

MOOSE IS STILL AROUND.

HE'S HOME LICKING HIS

WOUNDS RIGHT

NOW.

WE DECIDED TO GO WITH NEWS

INSTEAD.

NOW, WE'VE GOT A WHOLE NEWS

DIVISION,

A NEWS CHANNEL, INTERNET

CHANNEL AND

SO FORTHCOMING UP AND MORE

COMING.

55 YEARS.

WHAT'S NEXT?

Terry: STILL AHEAD, A LOOK

BACK AT

THE HISTORY OF THE

BROADCASTING

NETWORK. WE ARE GOING TO

START AT THE

VERY BEGINNING. WE'LL SHOW

YOU JUST

HOW FAR WE'VE COME IN 55

YEARS AND BEN

IS GOING TO TALK ABOUT

GIZMO'S

MEMORABLE MOMENT AS COHOST

COMING UP.

STAY WITH US.

STAY WITH US.

Terry: WELCOME BACK.

THIS IS A BIG DAY TODAY. WE

ARE

CELEBRATING 55 YEARS OF

BROADCASTING.

RIGHT NOW WE ARE GOING TO

TAKE YOU

BACK TO 1961, 3:00, OCTOBER

1ST, PAT

ROBERTSON MADE HIS FIRST

APPEARANCE ON

TELEVISION. THE SIGNAL WAS

BLACK AND

WHITE AND THE PICTURE WAS

SHAKY. THERE

WAS ONLY ONE CAMERA IN THE

STUDIO AND

THE EQUIPMENT BROKE DOWN

TWICE THAT

AFTERNOON. BUT SINCE THEN,

THE GOSPEL

HAS GONE TO THE OUTERMOST

PARTS OF THE

EARTH.

CBN BROADCASTING.

YOU ARE RIGHT.

HI, EVERYBODY.

WELCOME.

WHEN YOU TURN ON THE "700

CLUB".

YOU ARE WATCHING A PROGRAM

THAT HAS

BEEN ON THE AIR CONTINUOUSLY

SINCE

1966.

IT'S ONE OF THE LONGEST DAILY

PROGRAMS

IN TELEVISION HISTORY.

PROBABLY SAYING MORE

PEOPLE COME TO

THE LORD THROUGH CBN THAN ANY

OTHER

ORGANIZATION IN THE WORLD. IT

WASN'T

ME, IT WAS GOD.

IT WAS AN UNBELIEVABLE

LEAP OF

FAITH FOR A MAN WHO DIDN'T

OWN A TV

SET TO JUMP TO

TELECOMMUNICATIONS.

I DIDN'T HAVE ANY MONEY,

BUT A LOT

OF FAITH, I SUPPOSE. SO I GOT

AN

APPOINTMENT WITH DAVID

SARNOFF AND

TOLD HIM WE WANTED TO BUY

EQUIPMENT

FROM HIM AND HE SAID YOU

DON'T SOUND

LIKE AN EQUIPMENT BUYER TO ME.

HE WENT TO GET THE CAMERA

AND

TRANSMITTER WORKING. HE WENT

ON THE

AIR WITH HIS BIBLE IN HAND.

THE INAUGURAL BROADCAST OF

THE

CHRISTIAN BROADCAST NETWORK

MADE IT TO

THE END OF THE BLOCK AND FROM

THERE,

IT NEVER STOPPED. OVER THE

DECADES

MILLIONS HAVE RESPONDED TO

CHRIST AS

PAT SPEAKS DIRECTLY TO

VIEWERS.

LORD JESUS, THAT'S RIGHT,

PRAY WITH

ME. LORD, JESUS, YOU KNOW

WHAT I HAVE

BEEN THROUGH.

TODAY CBN IS SEEN IN MORE

THAN 100

NATIONS AROUND THE WORLD.

COUNTRIES

THAT WERE COMPLETELY CLOSED

TO THE

GOSPEL ARE NOW EXPANDING THE

GLOBE.

ALL THE BEST HUMAN STRATEGIES

IN THE

WORLD COULDN'T HAVE

ACCOMPLISHED THAT

FEAT.

CBN WAS THE FIRST TO START

THE

CHRISTIAN TELEVISION SHOW IN

THEIR

LANGUAGE. WHEN YOU SHOW

PEOPLE WHAT

JESUS IS DOING TODAY FOR

PEOPLE THAT

LOOK LIKE THEM, TALK LIKE

THEM, NOT

SOME FAR OFF STORY THAT

HAPPENED 2,000

YEARS AGO.

I WANT TO BE PART OF GOD'S

PLAN. I

THINK THAT HIS PLAN IS THE

WORLD

EVANGELISM.

ISN'T IT TO FEED THE

HUNGRY AND TO

CLOTHES THEM.

WITH THAT, PAT STARTED

"OPERATION

BLESSING".

"OPERATION BLESSING" THEY

HAVE

GIVEN MORE THAN $280 MILLION

AND GIVEN

TO CHURCHES. THE RESULT IS

FANTASTIC.

NOW "OPERATION BLESSING"

IS ONE OF

THE MOST TRUSTED CHARITIES IN

THE

WORLD PROVIDING HUNGER

RELIEF. WATER

WELLS ARE DUG IN EVERY

CONTINENT AND

MANY PEOPLE RESCUED.

"OPERATION BLESSING" HAS

HELPED DURING

HURRICANES.

OPERATION BLESS "OPERATION

BLESSING"

IS THERE.

YOU DON'T HAVE DREAMS

ABOUT THE

FUTURE.

WHAT YOU HAVE IS NEXT STEP

AND NEXT

STEP AND YOU JUST FOLLOW

WHERE GOD IS

TELLING YOU AND YOU PUT THE

YOUR FOOT

DOWN AND THE NEXT THING.

REGENT UNIVERSITY BEGAN

WITH 77

GRADUATE STUDENTS IN 1978.

TODAY OVER 5,000 SCHOLARS ARE

TRAINING

IN THE MAJOR DISCIPLINES.

THE AMERICAN CENTER FOR LAW

AND

JUSTICE WAS ESTABLISHED SO

WHEN THE

RIGHTS OF RELIGIOUS PEOPLE

ARE

VIOLATED, THEY HAVE A STRONG

ADVOCATE

IN THE COURTS.

WE DEFEND LIBERTY AND

FREEDOM AND

WHEN YOU TAKE IT AS A MANDATE

OF GOD,

WE DEFEND THE RIGHTS OF

RELIGIOUS

PEOPLE TO ENGAGE IN FREE

SPEECH IN THE

UNITED STATES AND AROUND THE

WORLD.

MS. ROBERTSON STANDS IN

AMAZEMENT

OF IT ALL.

I STAND IN A DREAM AND

IT'S BEEN A

VERY EXCITING LIFE. WORKING

FOR THE

LORD IS AN EXCITING THING TO

DO.

FOLLOWING HIS LEADING AND

DOING THE

THINGS THAT HE WANTS YOU TO

DO.

THE STORY OF THEIR MEETING

HAS BEEN

TOLD BEFORE.

BUT EVERY TIME DEE DEE TELLS

THE

STORY, THERE IS A SPARKLE IN

HER EYE.

DEE DEE WAS GETTING HER

MASTERS AND

WHEN THEY MET, THERE WAS A

REAL SPARK.

THAT'S KIND OF AN EXCITING

TALE. HE

CAME TO AN OPEN HOUSE THAT

THE STUDENT

NURSES HAD, AND I WAS TRYING

TO ESCAPE

FROM SOMEONE ELSE, AND I SAID

I HAD TO

WORK AT THE REFRESHMENT TABLE

AND I

WENT THERE WITH NOTHING TO DO

SO I

TRIED TO LOOK BUSY.

MY HAIR CAUGHT ON FIRE AND

PAT PUT IT

OUT WITH HIS BARE HANDS.

SOMEHOW THE FIRE THAT MOVED

FROM MY

HAIR MOVED TO MY HEART AND I

NEVER

FORGET THAT.

WE HAD A HARD TIME ESPECIALLY

WHEN I

WAS STARTING OUT.

WE HAD THREE CHILDREN AND THE

OLDEST

WAS THREE 1/2 AND IT WAS JUST

A LOT OF

WORK, A LOT OF SACRIFICE.

I JUST THANK THEM FOR THE

EXAMPLE THAT

THEY HAVE SET.

THAT'S I THINK WHAT'S

UNIQUE ABOUT

THE BOTH OF THEM. THEY WERE

BOTH

WILLING TO SUBMIT TO GOD.

THEY ARE A BEAUTIFUL

COUPLE

TOGETHER. GOD KNEW WHEN HE

PUT THEM

TOGETHER.

THROUGH PASSION FOR THEIR

LOVE OF

CHRIST, THAT WAS THE PASSION

FOR THE

HALLMARK OF THE ROBERTSON

FAMILY.

AMAZING JOURNEY OVER THE

YEARS. YOU

KNOW, WE JUST WANT TO SAY

THANK YOU TO

THOSE OF YOU WHO ARE HERE IN

THE

STUDIO WITH US AND THOSE AT

HOME WHO

HAVE BEEN FRIENDS OF THE "700

CLUB"

CHRISTIAN BROADCAST NETWORK.

THROUGH ALL OF THESE YEARS

THAT YOU

HAVE MADE THAT HAPPEN.

Pat: WE HAD A CAMERA THAT

CAUGHT

FIRE ONE TIME. WE HAVE A

CURTAIN, ON

THE CURTAIN WAS A CUT OUT

CARDBOARD

CROSS THAT WE PUT TOGETHER

WITH A HUNK

OF MASKING TAPE AND THAT WAS

OUR

DECORATION AND WE HAD A

PULPIT.

THE CHIEF ENGINEER DIDN'T

BELIEVE WE

COULD DO IT. I SAID, LOOK, WE

ARE

GOING ON THE AIR AT 1:00.

HE SAID, I DIDN'T THINK YOU

WOULD GET

THE MONEY TOGETHER.

[ LAUGHTER ]

I SAID HOW ABOUT NOW? SO WE

WENT ON

THE AIR.

WE DIDN'T HAVE ENOUGH

MONITORS.

SO DOWN THE STREET WAS THIS

LITTLE

CONVENIENCE STORE AND WE

WOULD RUN

DOWN THERE TO SEE IF WE WERE

ON THE

AIR.

LOOK AT THIS PICTURE? OKAY.

THOSE WERE EXCITING TIMES.

IN 1975 ON THE "700 CLUB",

THE

FIRST AFRICAN AMERICAN COHOST

OF A

NATIONAL TV SHOW.

WOW.

HE WAS MORE SURPRISED THAN

ANYBODY.

LET'S TAKE A LOOK.

[ LAUGHTER ]

HE'S KNOWN AROUND THE

WORLD AS THE

COHOST OF THE "700 CLUB". FOR

MANY

YEARS, HE CAPTIVATED THE

AUDIENCE WITH

HIS CHARMING PERSONALITY.

I'M AN AMERICAN CITIZEN.

THEN FIRST APPEARED IN THE

"700

CLUB" IN 1971 AND THEN LATER

JOINED

AND THEN IN 1975, HE JOINED

PAT AS

COHOST MAKING THE FIRST

AFRICAN

AMERICAN HOST OF A NATIONAL

TV SHOW.

AFTER LEAVING CBN IN 1996,

BEN BEGAN

HIS OWN HUMANITARIAN.

Pat: WELCOME BACK TO THE

SET.

BEN KINCHLOW.

PEN, MY FIRST

RECOLLECTION OF YOU,

WHEN YOU WERE LIVING IN A PIG

FARM OR

SOMETHING AND DOING

SOMETHING, YOU

WERE TRYING TO HELP POOR

PEOPLE. WE

PUT YOU ON THE AIR AND YOU

WERE

TALKING TO THIS LADY, SHE HAD

THIS

FLAWLESS DIAMOND RING AND SHE

SAID,

YOU KNOW, I'M HAVING A HARD

TIME

GETTING SERVICE, DO YOU

UNDERSTAND

THAT?

[ LAUGHTER ]

ARE YOU KIDDING?

OF COURSE I'M HAVING

TROUBLE, ARE

YOU KIDDING? DO YOU REMEMBER

THAT?

I DO INDEED.

THAT'S JUST ONE OF YOUR

HALLMARKS

OF YOUR GRACE UNDER FIRE.

YOU DIDN'T KNOW YOU WERE

GOING TO

BE A HOST. YOU WERE JUST

COMING DOWN

TO BE WITH US.

EXACTLY, NO CLUE.

DID YOU COME HERE THINKING

YOU WERE

GOING TO HELP WITH THE PHONES

OR

SOMETHING?

I THOUGHT I WOULD BE WITH

THE

DIRECTOR AND THEN THAT A CALL

CAME

THROUGH FROM SOMEBODY. THEN

I'M

SHAKING HANDS AND WHAT A

PLEASURE AND

THEN THE DIRECTOR KEPT

LOOKING AT ME.

I THOUGHT WHY IS HE LOOKING

AT ME AND

I JUST KEPT SHAKING HANDS.

AND THEY SAID, DO YOU WANT TO

TAKE MY

PLACE AND I JUST SAT THERE IN

THE

GUEST CHAIR.

HE KEPT LOOKING AT ME REAL

STRANGE.

AND HE SAID WE HAVE A MINUTE

BEFORE WE

GO ON THE AIR.

WOULD YOU TAKE YOUR PLACE? I

THOUGHT

THIS IS WHERE I SHOULD ASK

WHERE MY

PLACE IS? I SAID WHERE

SHOULD I SIT?

THEY SAID, WHAT, PAT DIDN'T

TELL YOU?

TELL ME WHAT? THAT YOU ARE

THE HOST

OF THE "700 CLUB".

THAT WAS THE BEGINNING OF

MANY

YEARS. TELL US A LITTLE BIT

ABOUT

"OPERATION BLESSING" BECAUSE

YOU WERE

THE ONE WHO REALLY TOOK THE

STEERING

WHEEL OF THAT ONCE PAT HAD

THE VISION

AND LAUNCHED IT?

AGAIN, DR. ROBERTSON HAD

SURPRISES.

HE TALKED ABOUT THIS VISION.

HE SAID

THE LORD GAVE ME ISAIAH 58.

WE ARE

GOING TO HELP THE POOR AND

FEED THE

HUNGRY. I THOUGHT THAT'S

GREAT. THE

THAT'S ABSOLUTELY SPECTACULAR.

YES, WE ARE GOING TO CALL IT

"OPERATION BLESSING". I SAID,

PAT,

THAT IS JUST GREAT. HE SAID,

YEAH, AND

YOU ARE GOING TO BE IN

CHARGE.

[ LAUGHTER ]

HE'S PRETTY GOOD AT THAT.

[ LAUGHTER ]

THAT'S CALLED EXECUTIVE

LEADERSHIP.

[ LAUGHTER ]

AND YOU DO IT SO WELL.

[ LAUGHTER ]

Pat: YOU DON'T GIVE HIM ANY

NOTICE.

THE IMPORTANT THING IS

THAT PAT

ALWAYS HAD A HEART FOR

PEOPLE. THAT

WAS ONE OF THE THINGS THAT I

WAS SO

IMPRESSED BY PAT.

WHEN THEY PUT ME ON THE "700

CLUB",

YOU DON'T SEE IS VERY MANY

AFRICAN

AMERICANS ON TV.

THEN I SHOWED UP AND PAT, HE

WAS

CONCERNED ABOUT THE PEOPLE.

THAT'S

ALWAYS BEEN THE SAME THING

TODAY AND

FOREVER.

I AGREE.

Pat: YOU KNOW, WHAT

EXPERIENCES

TOUCHED YOU THE MOST, DO YOU

REMEMBER?

ALL OF THEM.

IN THE BEGINNING AND THE TIME

WE WENT

TO MAXIMUM SECURITY.

I REMEMBER SEEING THAT.

THAT WAS TRUE.

PAT WOULD DO THINGS LIKE

THAT.

WE COULD GO TO JAIL.

BUT THIS GUY DIDN'T JUST TAKE

US TO

JAIL. HE TOOK US TO THE

PRISON FOR

PRISONERS. WHERE THE

PRISONERS

COULDN'T GET ALONG IN JAIL,

THEY SENT

THEM TO THIS PRISON.

AND PAT SAID, WE ARE GOING

DOWN TO

TALK TO THEM.

THESE GUYS WERE OUT THERE.

THE KILLER WAS THERE AND ALL

OF THESE.

HE GOT CAUGHT.

I WANTED TO SAY TO BEN, I

STOOD UP

AND BEFORE I TALKED TO THESE

GUYS,

THEY WERE HARDENED KILLERS.

THEY WERE THE HIT MEN FOR THE

MOB.

ONE GUY KILLED 20 PEOPLE.

THIS WAS A

TOUGH CROWD.

THEY LOCKED US IN.

[ LAUGHTER ]

YOU HADN'T THOUGHT ABOUT

THAT PART.

WE COULDN'T GET OUT IF THE

THEY

STARTED DOING SOMETHING. WE

WERE IN.

SO BEN WAS MY GUY.

AND HE TOOK OFF. MAN, IF HE

HAD BEEN A

PROFESSIONAL COMEDIAN, BEFORE

YOU KNEW

IT, GUYS WERE LAUGHING.

AND PEOPLE CAME TO THE

LORD.

I GAVE A MESSAGE ABOUT,

YOU KNOW, I

TALKED IN STREET LANGUAGE

ABOUT JESUS

TAKING THE RAP FOR YOU, YOU

KNOW?

WHEN I WAS HAVING AT A WHIP

COME DOWN,

YOU CAN SEE IT.

IT WAS SO POWERFUL.

AND THEN THEY CAME UP TO HUG

ME AND

LATER ON, ONE GUY WHO SAID,

YOU KNOW

THAT GUY? HE'S THE MOST

FEARED MAN.

HE'S A KILLER.

AND HE CAME UP AND HE FOUND

THE LORD.

REALLY?

THE ANOINTING OF THE LORD

CAME IN.

THE SPIRIT OF GOD CAME IN.

PEOPLE DON'T REALIZE IN

PRISON,

THEY SEND YOU TO PRISON

BECAUSE YOU

CAN'T GET ALONG IN THE

POPULATION.

THEN WHEN THEY SEND YOU TO

PRISON,

THEY HAVE GUYS THAT CAN'T BE

IN PRISON.

THEY HAVE ALL OF THESE GUYS

AND WE

WERE PREACHING TO HIM.

AND HE PUT HIS ARM AROUND PAT

AND I

THOUGHT, OH, HERE WE GO.

HE JUST CAME TO PAT AND TOLD

HIM HOW

MUCH HE LOVED HIM AND THAT

WAS THE

POWER OF GOD.

Terry: WE HAVE SOME VIDEO

OF THE

FIRST TIME I WAS A GUEST ON

THIS SHOW

BACK IN 1976.

JESUS LOVES ME.

I DON'T KNOW WHY HE CARES.

THAT WAS POST MISS AMERICA

BY A

COUPLE OF YEARS BECAUSE YOU

KNEW I WAS

A BELIEVER.

FIRST TIME.

IT WAS GREAT TO COME BACK

YEARS LATER.

YOU SAT NEXT TO MISS

AMERICA WITH

THESE TWO OLD RAGGEDY GUYS.

[ LAUGHTER ]

WE HAD GREAT TIMES

TOGETHER.

FATHER, WE COME BEFORE YOU

AND WE ASK

FOR THIS GREAT NATION.

WE HAVE BEEN GIVEN FREEDOM,

WE HAVE

BEEN GIVEN BOUNTY.

THERE IS NO NATION ON EARTH

LIKE THIS

LAND, YET, LORD, WE SINNED

AGAINST YOU

TIME AND TIME AGAIN AND LORD,

THAT

SOMEHOW YOU MAY GRIP THE

HEARTS OF ALL

THE PEOPLE IN AMERICA AND

TURN BACK TO

GOD. MAY THERE BE A GREAT

REVIVAL IN

THIS LAND -- LORD, THAT WE

YOUR LIFE TO GOD, YOU CAN DO

THAT. WE

CAN PRAY FOR AMERICA.

WE WANT TO PRAY FOR AS MUCH

OF AMERICA

AS POSSIBLE.

PLEASE BE A PART OF THAT.

WE TALK ABOUT THE HALLMARK OF

PRAYER

HERE AT CBN AND ANOTHER 55

YEARS OF

BROADCASTING. ONE OF OUR

NEWEST

VENTURE IS CALLED "IN OUR

HANDS" THE

BATTLE OF JERUSALEM ABOUT

LIBERATING

THE OLD CITY OF JERUSALEM IN

1967.

IT'S PRODUCED BY CBN

DOCUMENTARY,

BIBLICAL PRODUCTIONS.

WE WOULD LOVE TO SHARE THE

TRAILER

WITH YOU.

THE TIME HAS COME TO BEGIN

THE

BATTLE OF ANNIHILATING.

WE SHOULD BE THROW THE

HABITANTS.

I JUST STARTED THIS JOB A

MONTH AGO,

NOW YOU WANT ME TO PLAN A WAR

IN GO

DAYS.

TAKE THE OLD CITY AND BE

DONE WITH

IT.

NO MORE BLOODSHED.

WE SHOULD GO IN NOW.

WHAT IS YOUR STRATEGY FOR

THAT?

YOU ARE RIGHT, NOT TO GO IN,

HISTORY

WILL NEVER FORGIVE YOU.

JERUSALEM HAS NEVER BEEN

CONQUERED

FROM THE EAST NOT SINCE KING

DAVID.

IT WILL BE THE SECOND TIME

AND THE

LAST ONE.

AND TO THE OLD CITY

CAPTURING.

MOVE TOWARDS THE GATE.

YOU DIDN'T COMPLAIN.

FOR YOU IT WAS ENOUGH TO

DRIVE FORWARD

AND TO CONQUER.

JERUSALEM IS YOURS FOREVER.

Terry: A POWERFUL MOMENT IN

HISTORY.

"IN OUR HANDS" WILL BE

RELEASED IN

JUNE 2017 TO COMMEMORATE THE

ANNIVERSARY OF THE 6TH DAY

WAR.

WE'LL COME BACK AND

COMMEMORATE OUR

CELEBRATION WITH FAMILY AND

FRIENDS

AND WE'LL ALSO SHARE SOME

GREAT

MOMENTS FROM THE PAST.

STAY WITH US.

STAY WITH US.

Terry: WELL, IT'S

IMPOSSIBLE TO

COVER ALL THE MEMORABLE

MOMENTS FROM

55 YEARS OF BROADCASTING, BUT

WE

SELECTED A FEW TO FEATURE.

TAKE A LOOK AT THOSE.

THE HOLY SPIRIT ISN'T THAT

OPTIONAL

EXTRA AS IF GOD HAS A

SMORGASBORD THAT

YOU CAN TAKE AND LEAVE TO

OTHERS. HE

IS GOING TO BAPTIZE WITH THE

HOLY

GHOST.

IT'S A PLEASURE TO WELCOME

OUR

LEADING FATHER.

IT'S A PLEASURE TO HAVE YOU

WITH US

AGAIN.

IT'S A JOY. ONE OF THE MOST

AMAZING

PEOPLE IN THE WHOLE COUNTRY

IS OUR

GREAT FRIEND PAT.

WILL YOU COME OUT HERE, PAT?

LOOK AT

HIM.

ONE OF THE GREAT PEOPLE.

YES, SIR.

I WAS CHOSEN TO DO

SOMETHING.

I WAS NEVER A WRITER.

I WAS NEVER AN EXEMPLARY

STUDENT.

ALL OF A SUDDEN I WROTE ROCKY

AND I

DID IT IN 3 DAYS AND I CANNOT

ASSUME I

DID IT IN 3 DAYS.

SO GLAD TO HAVE YOU WITH

US. YOU

HAVE BEEN HERE ON SEVERAL

OCCASIONS,

BUT HOW DOES A GUY NICE AS

YOU GET TO

BE A CHAMPION?

ONLY TRYING TO DEFEND

MYSELF.

GOD BLESS YOU.

NICE TO SEE YOU.

IT'S BEEN TOO LONG. YOU ARE

LOOKING

VERY WELL.

I FEEL WELL AND I FEEL FIT.

I FEEL GREAT.

JOANNE, IT'S SO GREAT TO SEE

YOU AGAIN.

THANK YOU SO MUCH.

I GREW UP WATCHING THE "700

CLUB".

GOOD TO SEE YOU.

WHAT A PRIVILEGE.

YOU LOOK SO GOOD.

I GOT MY BOOK.

YOU TOO. YOU NEVER STOPPED.

THE PERENNIAL COLLEGE

FRESHMAN.

IT'S A PLEASURE TO HAVE

YOU ON THE

"700 CLUB".

IT'S GREAT TO SEE YOU, SIR.

WE NEED TO GRASP AND

REKINDLE THOSE

VALUES.

IT'S A PLAN THAT

CRYSTALIZED THIS.

WHAT IS TO FOLLOW?

IT'S A MOMENT.

IT'S A START.

IT'S A PLACE WHERE WE CAN

BEGIN.

IT'S A PLACE TO WELCOME

OUR DEAR

FRIEND.

THANK YOU FOR ASKING ME

BACK. IT'S

BEEN 35 YEARS.

I MUST NOT HAVE DONE WELL.

WE DIDN'T HAVE KIDS.

THERE WERE KIDS THEN. I

INVENTED

CHILDREN IN 1971.

I DIDN'T INVENT BUT USED THEM

AS

PEOPLE AS PROFESSIONAL

PERFORMERS.

I ASKED THEM WHAT THEIR

MOTHER TOLD

THEM NOT TO SAY ON THE

PROGRAM.

THEY TOLD YOU?

SHE SAID, I CAN SAY

WHATEVER I WANT

BUT DON'T DIRTY T-SHIRT

BECAUSE I HAVE

TO TAKE IT BACK.

HE SAID YOU MAY HAVE BAD

BREATH AND

I SAID, DO I? AND HE SAID, I

RATHER

WOULD NOT SAY.

THANK YOU.

THANK YOU SO MUCH.

GREAT TO HAVE YOU BACK

WITH US.

I GO A LONG WAY BACK.

YOU SURE DO.

TORTILLA FLATS.

THAT AND WORSE.

WHEN I HAD DINNER WITH

YOU, WE HAD

JUST COME FROM DUSTY'S

WEDDING.

MY LITTLE GIRL, AND YOU SAID

WE ARE

GOING TO HAVE A CHRISTIAN

NETWORK,

LOTS OF STATIONS. I THOUGHT

THIS MAN

IS A GREATEST VISIONARY I

EVER MET OR

HE'S A CRANK.

YOU ARE A GREAT MISSIONARY.

WELL, IT WAS A BIG DAY.

IT WAS TRULY TERRIFIC.

55 YEARS.

I HAVE SOME OF THE LITTLE

SWEET

CHILDREN.

THESE WILL CARRY ON THE

TRADITION,

RIGHT, FOLKS?

MY PRECIOUS GREAT

GRANDDAUGHTERS.

THE FIRST LADY OF CBN, DEE

DEE.

[ APPLAUSE ]

RIGHT?

WE ARE OUT OF TIME. THANK

YOU ALL

FOR BEING WITH US. YOU HAVE

BEEN A

TREMENDOUS BLESSING. GIVE

YOURSELVES A
