Gordon: INSIDE THE

WINNING PLAYBOOK, FROM THE

MAN WHO PLAYED TONY JORDAN

IN "WAR ROOM."

ACTOR T.C. STALLINGS JOINS

US LIVE.

PLUS A MISSIONARY IS IN

PRISON FOR HIS FAITH.

YOUR PENALTY WILL BE

DEATH OR LIFE IN PRISON.

Gordon: SEE HOW HE

WAS RELEASED.

GOD PROMISED ME HE

WOULD BE MY RESCUER.

Gordon: ALL ON

TODAY'S "700 CLUB

INTERACTIVE."

> WELL, GOOD MORNING,

AND WELCOME TO THE SHOW.

EVERY EFFECTIVE TEAM WORKS

TOWARDS A COMMON GOAL.

AS A FORMER PLAYER WITH

THE ARENA FOOTBALL LEAGUE,

T.C. STALLINGS KNOWS THIS

FIRSTHAND.

AS AN ACTOR, HE ALSO

UNDERSTANDS THE STRUGGLE

WITH PRIDE IN PUTTING GOD

FIRST.

T.C. SAYS NO MORE

GAME-DAY-ONLY ATHLETES.

HE IS CALLING CHRISTIANS

TO BE IN TOP FORM EVERY

DAY OF THE WEEK, BOTH IN

SEASON AND OUT.

Reporter: YOU MAY

HAVE BEEN T.C. STALLINGS

BREAKOUT PERFORMANCE ATONE AS

TONY JORDAN IN "WAR ROOM."

IN HIS LATEST BOOK,

"PLAYING ON GOD'S TEAM,"

HE OFFERS 21 LESSONS TO

HELP BUILD UP YOUR

SPIRITUAL GAME SO YOU CAN

PLAY YOUR BEST ON A

WINNING TEAM.

Gordon: WELL, T.C. IS

HERE, AND LET'S GET RIGHT

INTO IT.

YOU PLAYED FOR THE

LOUISVILLE CARDINALS, AND

THAT IS SERIOUS --

YES.

Gordon: -- COLLEGE

FOOTBALL.

YOU TRIED TO MAKE IT INTO

THE NFL.

YOU KEPT GOING AND GOING

AND GOING AND GOING.

YEAH.

COLLEGE FOOTBALL, FOUR

YEARS THERE, AND THEN WENT

TO THE ARENA LEAGUE, AND I

WENT ON TO PLAY IN CANADA

FOR THE STAMPEDERS, AND

THEN WENT TO EUROPE.

IT WAS THE PROCESS OF

PURSUING MY CHILDHOOD

DREAM, GOING TO THE NFL.

Gordon: AND GOD HAD

ANOTHER PLAN.

HE DID.

AND THAT'S WHAT THE BOOK

TALKS ABOUT, THE LESSON I

LEARNED IS HE NEEDS TO BE

LORD SO I ACCEPT THAT

PLAN.

HE NEEDS TO LEAD MY

PASSIONS AND MY DESIRES.

WHEN I WENT TO SEE

"FIREPROOF" IN 2008, ALL

OF A SUDDEN MY HEART IS

BEATING TO DO FILM.

AND SO I PRAY ABOUT WHAT I

DO NOW THROUGH THE

SITUATIONS I HAD BEEN

THROUGH IN COLLEGE, AND

LEARNING TO PUT GOD FIRST.

I STARTED PLAYING ABOUT

WORKING WITH THE GUYS WHO

MAKE THIS FILM.

I STARTED PRAYING ABOUT

MEETING THE KENSICK

BROTHERS, AND I MET THEM

AND OFF I WENT.

Gordon: WHY IS IT SO

HARD FOR US TO CHANGE?

WE ALL READ THE

SCRIPTURES, IF WE PUT HIM

FIRST, THEN HE IS GOING TO

GIVE US OUR HEART'S

DESIRES.

AND WE DON'T UNDERSTAND IN

ALL OF THAT, HE MIGHT

CHANGE OUR HEART'S DESIRE

TO BE WHAT HIS DESIRE IS

FOR US, KNOWING THAT WILL

FULFILL US.

I THINK THE HARDEST

PART OF CHANGING IS WE

DON'T UNDERSTAND THAT

THING I JUST SAID ABOUT

HIM BEING LORD.

A LOT OF PEOPLE BECOME

CHRISTIANS AND THINK THINK THAT

IS THE FINISH LINE, BUT

THAT IS JUST THE START.

THE REASON I USE THE TEAM

CONCEPT IS BECAUSE WHEN I

JOIN A TEAM, THEY START TO

CHANGE YOU A WAY TO MAKE

YOU A MORE EFFECTIVE

PLAYER.

AND WHEN I WAS IN HIGH

SCHOOL, THERE WERE SOME

CHANGES IN ME THAT NEEDED

TO BE MADE TO GET ME READY

FOR COLLEGE.

WHEN YOU GO FROM YOUR OLD

LIFE TO BECOME THIS

BELIEVER AND JESUS, THERE

ARE SOME CHANGES THAT NEED

TO BE MAKE.

YOUR GOALS HAVE TO BE

TRADED IN.

NOT REALIZING HE NEEDS TO

BE LORD OF OUR DECISIONS

AND WHAT WE DO, WE STILL

THINK WE CAN GO ON JUST

BELIEVING HIM AND JUST

KEEP DOING THE SAME THINGS

WE'VE BEEN DOING.

AND IT DOESN'T WORK.

IT TAKES A LOT OF THAT NOT

WORKING TO FIND OUT WHAT

WILL WORK.

Gordon: YOU HAD A

REALLY PROFOUND MOMENT IN

COLLEGE --

YES.

Gordon: -- WHERE YOU

REALIZED, YES, YOU WERE A

CHRISTIAN, AND AT THE SAME

TIME, YOU WEREN'T.

YUP.

Gordon: YES, YOU

BELIEVED IN HIM AS SAVIOR,

AND YOU UNDERSTAND THE

BIBLE AND THE CONCEPT OF

SALVATION, BUT YOU STILL

HADN'T MADE HIM

EVERYTHING.

RIGHT.

Gordon: WHAT HAPPENED

TO YOU?

SO I GO TO COLLEGE WITH

THIS -- AGAIN, THE

STANDARD FOR BEING A

CHRISTIAN IS ALREADY TOO

LOW.

PEOPLE THINK IF YOU CARRY

A BIBLE AROUND AND YOU

PRAY A LITTLE BIT, YOU'RE

THIS BIG-TIME CHRISTIAN.

Gordon: I'VE THE GOT

MY HELL INSURANCE.

YEAH, THAT'S IT.

IT WAS EASY FOR PEOPLE TO

PUT ME UP ON THIS

PEDESTAL, AND YOU NEED

SOMEBODY TO COME SPEAK

SOMEWHERE, A GOOD

CHRISTIAN ATHLETE, GO GET

ME, GE GO GET T.C.

BUT SOMEBODY ON CAMPUS WHO

REALLY KNEW WHAT IT MEANT

TO FOLLOW JESUS CHRIST

ASKED TO SHARE SCRIPTURE

WITH ME.

I KEPT PUTTING HIM OFF, I

FINALLY DID.

MATTHEW 7: 21: "NOT

EVERYONE WHO CALLS OUT TO

ME AND SAYS MY NAME WILL

ENTER THE KINGDOM OF

HEAVEN."

I KNEW I HAD TO CHANGE AT

THAT POINT.

THAT WAS THE REVELATION

FOR ME TO CHANGE

EVERYTHING.

I'M, LIKE, OH, MY GOSH,

I'VE BEEN LIVING ALL OF

THIS TIME AS JESUS BEING A

SAVIOR, AND SEE YOU WHEN I

DIE, AND THINKING THAT'S

IT.

NO.

YOU'RE THE SAVIOR, BUT I

ALSO HAVE TO FOLLOW THE

LORD.

I HUNDRE HUNDRED HADN'T TRADED IN MY

GOALS FOR HIS.

IT WAS ABOUT, LORD, COME

WERWITH ME --

Gordon: GOD IS ON MY

SIDE AS OPPOSED TO I'M ON

HIS SIDE.

RIGHT.

Gordon: THAT'S A

DIFFERENT APPROACH.

WHY WAS THIS PERSON

PURSUING YOU?

BECAUSE HE KNEW WHAT IT

MEANT TO TRULY BE A CHRIST

FOLLOWER.

I WAS ON TV AND SPEAKING,

AND AT THAT SAME DAY, I

MIGHT GO HOME AND IN THE

DORM ROOM, YOU CAN HEAR

ALL OF THE CUSSING MOVIES

COMING OUT OF MY TV, AND

YOU WOULHE WOULD SEE ME TAKING

GIRLS TO MY ROOM AT NIGHT.

AND I DON'T NEED TO CHANGE

ANYTHING ELSE.

AND HE WOULD SEE THESE

THINGS, AND WHEN WE MET,

HE SAID THE REASON I

PURSUED YOU BECAUSE IF

PEOPLE KNEW WHAT THE BIBLE

TRULY SAID TO FOLLOW

CHRIST, THEY WOULD SEE YOU

AS A HYPOCRITE AND THAT

WOULD KILL YOUR PLATFORM.

I DON'T WANT TO SEE YOU DO

THAT.

IF YOU REALLY KNOW WHAT IT

MEANS, YOU WOULD START

LIVING THE WAY YOU NEED TO

BE.

I JUST DON'T WANT YOU TO

KILLING YOUR PLATFORM.

I WANT YOU TO SEE THESE

SCRIPTURES AND REMIND YOU

OF WHAT CHRIST DIED FOR SO

YOU CAN PROPERLY REPRESENT

HIM.

AND THAT WAS IT.

HE KNEW I HAD A PLATFORM,

AND HE DIDN'T WANT ME TO

MESS IT UP.

AND SO I'M SO GRATEFUL FOR

THAT TO HAPPEN BECAUSE IT

CHANGED EVERYTHING FOR ME.

Gordon: WHAT WOULD

YOU SAY TO PEOPLE WHO

WOULD SAY, WELL, IT'S TOO

HARD.

I TRIED TO BE GOOD, AND

THEN I KEEP MESSING UP.

THAT'S THE SECOND

PURPOSE OF ME WRITING THIS

WHOLE THING.

AT FIRST YOU REALIZE WHAT

IT TRULY MEANS, AND I

STARTED TRYING TO DO THAT

IN COLLEGE.

I TRIED EVERYTHING.

AND I FAILED MISERABLY.

NOW I'M UPSET.

I UPSET WITH GOD.

MAN, I JUST STUDIED THESE

SCRIPTURES, TALKING ABOUT

ALL OF THIS POWER, AND I'M

NOT EXPERIENCING ANY OF

THAT.

I FEEL LIKE I LOST MORE OF

THAT.

HERE I AM REALLY, REALLY

TRYING.

WHAT'S GOING ON?

WHERE ARE YOU AT?

WHERE IS THIS POWER?

BUT THEN I READ 1

CORINTHIANS WHERE YOU SEE

PAUL COMPARED THE EFFORT

OF AN ATHLETE TO THE

EFFORT OF A CHRISTIAN.

THEY DO IT FOR A CROWN

THAT WON'T LAST.

BUT WE DO IT FOR A CROWN

THAT WILL LAST FOREVER.

TALKING ABOUT THE STRICT

TRAINING.

I REALIZED THAT I WAS THE

THEY AND THE WE.

I WAS THE CHRISTIAN AND

THE ATHLETE.

I LOOKED AT MY EFFORT AS

AN ATHLETE WHEN THINGS GOT

TOUGH, AND I WOULD DO

EVERYTHING MY COACH SAID

TO GET BETTER.

IF I FOUND I WAS WEAK IN

AN AREA, WHY DO EVERYTHING

IN THE STRENGTH TRAINING

ROOM.

I WOULD DO EVERYTHING I

COULD TO GET MY ENDURANCE

UP.

AND THEN I LOOKED AT TEAM

JESUS, ME AS A CHRISTIAN.

I DIDN'T DO EVERYTHING MY

COACH SAID TO DO.

I DIDN'T KNOW MY PLAYBOOK,

LIKE I KNEW THE OTHER

PLAYBOOK.

I DIDN'T STRENGTHEN THE

AREAS I WAS WEAK IN.

I GAVE NO EFFORT.

I GREW UP WITH THIS BELIEF

THAT GRACE TAKES CARE OF

EVERYTHING.

GRACE PUTS YOU ON TEAM

JESUS, HOW YOU GET SAVED.

BUT WHAT YOU DO SHOWS YOUR

APPRECIATION FOR THAT

GRACE.

THAT WAS THE COMPARISON I

MADE.

I WOULD SAY FOR ANYBODY

WHO IS STRUGGLING, LOOK AT

YOUR LIFE.

LOOK AT ANYTHING YOU EVER

REALLY WANTED IN YOUR

LIFE, HOW HARD YOU WORKED

FOR DOING YOUR PART, AND

PREPARE THAT TO YOUR

EFFORT TOWARDS JESUS.

DO YOU KNOW YOUR PLAYBOOK?

DO YOU PRAY REGULARLY AND

TALK TO YOUR COACH?

DO YOU ENDURANCE TRAIN THE

WAY THE BIBLE SAYS WE CAN

DO ENDURANCE?

IF YOU'RE DOING THESE

THINGS, THAT EXPLAINS WHY

YOU'RE FAILING AS A

CHRISTIAN.

THAT'S WHAT I LEARNED.

I DIDN'T FAIL AS AN

ATHLETE --

Gordon: IT IS LIKE

SHOWING UP AT GAME DAY AND

NOT BEING IN ANY OF THE

PRACTICES.

RIGHT, AND NOT TALKING

TO THE COACH.

Gordon: OF COURSE

YOU'RE GOING TO LOSE.

EXACTLY.

AND WHY SHOULD IT BE ANY

DIFFERENCE WITH CHRIST?

IIT'S NOT.

Gordon: THIS IS A

21-WEEK DEVOTIONAL FOR

BUILDING TRUE CHRISTIAN

ATHLETES, AND IT IS

AVAILABLE WHEREVER BOOKS

ARE SOLD.

IF YOU'RE STRUGGLING IN

THE BATTLE, HERE IS A

GREAT THING THAT WILL

REALLY TRAIN YOU AND

REALLY GET YOU IN THE

GAME, WHERE YOU WON'T JUST

BE IN, BUT YOU YOU'LL BE

WINNING THE GAME, AND

WOULDN'T THAT BE GREAT.

AND THAT'S A CROWN WORTH

FIGHTING FOR.

YES, IT IS.

Gordon: THANKS FOR

BEING WITH US.

THANK YOU.

Gordon: COMING UP, A

MISSIONARY IS ARRESTED IN

NORTH KOREA.

YOU ARE ATTEMPTING TO

OVERTHROUGH THE GOVERNMENT

THROUGH PRAYER AND

WORSHIP.

YOUR PENALTY WILL BE DEATH

OR LIFE IN PRISON.

Gordon: HEAR HIS

REMARKABLE STORY.

YOU DON'T WANT TO MISS IT.

IT'S NEXT RIGHT AFTER

THIS.

Gordon: THE DARKEST

PLACES ON EARTH ARE THE

ONES MOST IN NEED OF

LIGHT.

AND THAT'S WHY MISSIONARY

KENNETH BAE TRAVELLED TO

NORTH KOREA IN 2012 TO

BRING HOPE TO THE PEOPLE

THERE.

BUT KENNETH ALMOST DIDN'T

MAKE IT OUT ALIVE.

THEY TOLD ME THAT YOU

HAVE VIOLATED ARTICLE 60,

WHICH IS YOU ATTEMPT TO

OVERTHROW THE GOVERNMENT

THROUGH PRAYER AND

WORSHIP.

YOUR PENALTY WILL BE DEATH

OR LIFE IN PRISON.

I GAVE MY LIFE TO CHRIST

WHEN I WAS AROUND 15.

MY FAMILY MOVED TO THE

UNITED STATES.

I ATTENDED A RESTREET,

DR. BILL BRIGHT WAS THE

SPEAKER AT THAT PARTICULAR

RETREAT.

AND HE TALKED ABOUT CHINA

THAT NIGHT.

AND IMMEDIATELY I REALIZED

THAT THAT WAS A CALL FOR

ME.

AND I SAID, LORD, USE ME

TO BE A BRIDGE OR A

MISSIONARY.

AT THAT TIME, I REALIZED

THAT THIS IS MY CALL FOR

MISSION WORK IN CHINA AND

ALSO FOR NORTH KOREA.

FOR THE FIRST TIMES I

VISITED NORTH KOREA, I

TOOK A GROUP OF PEOPLE AS

MISSION GROUPS, OR THE

CHRISTIAN TOURISTS.

ON MY 18th TRIP I WENT

INTO NORTH KOREA, AND I

MADE A CRUCIAL MISTAKE BY

CARRYING AN EXTERNAL

PORTABLE HARD DRIVE.

THE HARD DRIVE CONTAINED

NOT ONLY THE FOOTAGE OF

WESTERN MEDIA, IT MOSTLY

CONTAINED AL O ALL OF MY

MISSIONS, INCLUDING THE

PHOTOS AND VIDEO CLIPS

ABOUT THE MISSION WORK WE

HAVE DONE IN KOREA.

AND I WAS ARRESTED AND

TAKEN INTO A REMOTE HOTEL.

MY CONVERSATION WITH GOD

WAS LIKE THIS: WHY ME,

LORD?

WHY NOW?

THE THIRD DAY OF MY

DETAINMENT, THEY MADE ME

STAND IN THE MIDDLE OF THE

ROOM ALL DAY LONG.

AND SUDDENLY MY HAND GOT

REALLY WARM AND MY ARM WAS

GETTING WARM.

I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT WAS

GOING ON.

AND THEN I HEARD THE VOICE

OF GOD, AND HE SAID, THE

HOLY SPIRIT IS HOLDING

YOUR HAND.

AND HE SAID, I AM WITH

YOU.

AND THIS IS WHEN I

REALIZED, IF GOD IS WITH

ME, WHO CAN BE AGAINST ME?

AND HE SAID, I'LL BE YOUR

RESCUER.

BE STRONG AND COURAGEOUS.

THEY DECIDED TO SEND ME TO

PONGYONG.

AND THEY TOLD ME I'M BEING

INDICTED.

AND I GOT 15 YEARS OF HARD

LABOR.

I HAD TO STRUGGLE TO

CONTINUE BELIEVING IN GOD

WHEN I WAS IN LABOR CAMP

BECAUSE IT WAS PHYSICALLY

AND EMOTIONALLY DIFFICULT

TO GO THROUGH EVERY DAY.

BUT I CHOOSE TO CONTINUE

BELIEVING IN THE PROMISE,

AND KNOWING THAT MY GOD IS

THE SAME GOD YESTERDAY,

TODAY, AND FOREVER.

HE IS THE SAME GOD IN

CHINA OR AMERICA, IN NORTH

KOREA.

AND HE SAYS HE IS WITH ME,

AND SO I HAD TO HOLD ON TO

THAT.

I ASKED THE LORD, WHAT IS

YOUR WILL FOR ME?

DO YOU WANT ME TO STAY

HERE?

IF STAYING HERE IS YOUR

WILL -- BECAUSE I'D BEEN

PRAYING AND ASKING GOD,

TAKE ME HOME.

SEND ME HOME.

LORD, YOU KNOW MY HEART,

BUT NOT MY WILL, BUT YOUR

WILL BE DONE.

USE ME AS YOUR INSTRUMENT

HERE.

THE LORD STARTED USING ME

TO REACH OUT TO PEOPLE,

BUILDING RELATIONSHIPS.

THEN FINALL THEY ASKED THIS

QUESTION: YOU SAID GOD IS

FOR REAL, THEN WHY ARE YOU

STILL HERE?

NO ONE STAYED HERE FOR

THIS LONG BEFORE.

AND I SAY IT IS NOT ABOUT

WHETHER GOD IS REAL OR

NOT.

MAYBE GOD MAY HAVE

DIFFERENT PLANS.

A PLAN THAT INCLUDES YOU.

BECAUSE WITHOUT ME, HOW

ARE YOU GOING TO HEAR

ANYTHING ABOUT GOD OR

ANYTHING OUTSIDE.

AND HE SAID, IT'S TRUE

BECAUSE I NEVER HEARD

ANYTHING LIKE THIS BEFORE.

FINALLY IN 2014,

NOVEMBER 8, I WAS ABLE TO

BE RELEASED.

GOD PROMISED ME THAT THEN

HE WILL BE MY RESCUER.

AND IT TOOK TWO YEARS, BUT

THE PROMISE WAS FULFILLED.

UNLESS I WAS A MISSIONARY

BEING DETAINED THERE, I

WOULD NEVER HAVE HAD THE

KIND OF FULL ENCOUNTER TO

THE PEOPLE, TO HAVE

COMPASSION FOR THE PEOPLE

WHO ARE LOST AND LIVING IN

DARKNESS.

I REMEMBER THE PEOPLE

LIVING IN SUCH ISOLATED

AND FORGOTTEN SOCIETY,

LIKE PEOPLE IN NORTH

KOREA.

Gordon: LET US

REMEMBER THEM.

AND REMEMBER THAT GOD

LOVES THEM, AND HE DIED

FOR THEM, TOO.

FOR US WHO HAVE RECEIVED

THE GOOD NEWS, HAVE WE

ALSO RECEIVED THE GREAT

COMMISSION, GO INTO ALL

THE WORLD AND PREACH THIS

GLORIOUS NEWS.

LET'S JUST TAKE A MOMENT

TO PRAY, AND PRAY NOT JUST

MISSIONARIES OF PERSECUTED

COUNTRIES, CLOSED

COUNTRIES, BUT LET'S ALSO

PRAY FOR US.

AND PRAY THAT GOD WOULD

RAISE UP LABORERS FOR THE

HARVEST.

PRAY WITH ME.

LORD, WE JUST LIFT ALL

MISSIONARIES TO YOU NOW,

AND ALL CHRISTIANS IN

PERSECUTED AREAS.

LORD, STRENGTHEN THEM,

JUST AS YOU DID WITH

KENNETH, COME BESIDE THEM

AND HOLD THEIR HAND, AND

BE WITH THEM AND ENCOURAGE

THEM.

FOR THOSE IN LABOR CAMPS,

FOR THOSE WHO HAVE LOST

LOVED ONES, FOR THOSE

WHO'S CHURCHES HAVE BEEN

DESTROYED, FOR THOSE WHO

HAVE HAD JUST GRIEVOUS

INJURY, LORD, BE WITH

THEM.

ENCOURAGE THEM IN THEIR

TIME OF TRIAL.

SEND ANGELS TO MINISTER TO

THEM.

AND NOW FOR US, WE HONOR

YOUR REQUEST THAT WE PRAY

TO THE LORD OF THE HARVEST

TO SEND OUT LABORERS INTO

HIS HARVEST.

SO STIR OUR SOULS, LORD

GOD.

ENLARGE OUR HEARTS.

LET US HAVE HEARTS OF

COMPASSION THAT WE WOULD

SEE THOSE IN DARKNESS AND

REACH OUT WITH THE GOOD

NEWS.

BRING THEM THE LIGHT OF

YOUR SALVATION.

WE ASK IT ALL IN JESUS'

NAME, SO DO IT, LORD, AND

DO IT TODAY.

REDEEM YOUR PEOPLE.

REDEEM THE ONES THAT YOU

DIED FOR.

FOR WE ASK IT IN JESUS'

NAME.

AMEN.

AND AMEN.

> STILL TO COME, A

GLOBAL PRAYER EFFORT IS

UNIFYING YOUNG CHRISTIANS

IN ASIA.

GOD LOVES YOU.

AND I BELIEVE THAT'S GOING

TO HAPPEN.

Gordon: SEE WHY 37

NATIONS GATHERED TO PRAY,

WHEN WE COME BACK.

Gordon: THEY'RE

CALLED THE WEAPONS OF MASS

DISTRACTION.

SMARTPHONES, iPADS, AND

GAMING SYSTEMS, JUST TO

NAME A FEW.

BUT SOME WANT THE TECH

SAVVY GENERATION TO PUT

DOWN THEIR DEVICES AND

EMBRACE GOD.

TAKE A LOOK.

Reporter: 11-YEAR-OLD

CALEB TELLS THE YOUNG

DELEGATES AT A CHRISTIAN

CONFERENCE THEY WILL BE A

GENERATION THAT DEDICATES

ITSELF TO GOD.

IT IS A GLOBAL PRAYER

EFFORT DESIGNED TO TAKE ON

A CRISIS FACING THE

CHURCH.

PASTOR JEROME ACOMPEL

CALLS IT AN INABILITY TO

REACH YOUNG PEOPLE.

THEY DON'T GO TO

CHURCH.

THEY'RE DISTRACTED WITH

TECHNOLOGY, WITH MUSIC AND

SPORTS, WITH CELL PHONES.

WE CALL IT THE WEAPONS OF

MASSIVE DISTRACTION.

Reporter: THEY CHOSE

SOUTH KOREA TO HOST THE

EVENT BECAUSE IT IS A

PRIME EXAMPLE OF WHAT IS

HAPPENING IN THE WORLD.

FOR YEARS CHURCHES LOOKED

TO THIS COUNTRY AS A

BEACON.

IN FACT, SOUTH KOREA IS

THE SECOND LARGEST

MISSIONARY-SENDING NATION

IN THE WORLD.

IRONICALLY, IN THE LAST

DECADE, THE CHRISTIAN

POPULATION HERE HAS

DROPPED FROM 25% TO 15%.

LESS THAN 3% OF YOUNG

SOUTH KOREANS GO TO

CHURCH.

Through Translator:

MATERIALISM AND SECULARISM

HAVE CREPT INTO OUR

CHURCHES.

ALSO, THE SCANDALS

INVOLVING CHURCH LEADERS

HAVE AFFECTED THE

INTEGRITY OF THE CHURCH.

THE CHURCH HAS FAILED TO

BE SALT AND LIGHT, AND THE

PEOPLE'S HEARTS ARE FAR

AWAY FROM GOD.

I BELIEVE PRAYER IS THE

KEY THAT WILL SOLVE OUR

PROBLEM.

AND THROUGH UPRISING, GOD

SENDS FOREIGN SPIRITUAL

SOLDIERS TO BRING REVIVAL

TO KOREA.

Reporter: YOUNG

PEOPLE FROM 37 NATIONS

GATHERED TO PRAY AND FAST.

IN AN EFFORT TO BRING

KOREA'S YOUTH BACK TO

CHURCH.

THERE IS A STRONG

MOVEMENT FOR GOD, THAT IS

IN THE HEARTS OF THE

DELEGATES HERE.

IT IS THIS REVIVAL FIRE

THAT THEY WILL BRING TO

THEIR HOMES, TO THEIR

SCHOOLS, TO THEIR OFFICES

AND THEIR COUNTRIES TO

AFFECT CHANGE.

ON THE LAST DAY, THE

DELEGATES GATHEREDE GATHERED NEAR

NORTH KOREA'S BORDER FOR

PRAYERS, WORSHIP, AND THE

REUNIFICATION OF THE

KOREAN PENINSULA.

THEY ASKED GOD TO EMPOWER

YOUNG PEOPLE, LIKE HE DID

DAVID.

WE SAID, WHY DON'T WE

GATHER THE DAVIDS OF THE

WORLD AND FACE THE GOLIATH

OF DIVISION AT THE BORDER.

WE ARE RELEASING TO THE 37

NATIONS VERY, VERY

POWERFUL, POWERFUL YOUNG

PEOPLE.

THEY WILL CHANGE THE

WORLD.

GOD LOVES YOU AND GOD

WANTS YOU.

AND I BELIEVE THAT IS

GOING TO HAPPEN.

Reporter: LUCILLE

TALUSAN, CBN NEWS, SEOUL.

Gordon: I BELIEVE IT,

TOO.

AND PRAY.

PRAY FOR MISSIONARIES.

PRAY FOR SOUTH KOREA.

PRAY THAT A GENERATION

WILL RISE UP THERE AGAIN

TO DECLARE THE GLORY OF

THE LORD.

HERE AT CBN, WE ARE

CHANGING LIVES ALL AROUND

THE WORLD, LIKE THIS YOUNG

WOMAN AND HER YOUNG

GRANDDAUGHTER IN CHINA.

ON A GOOD DAY, THEY COULD

EARN $4 BY SELLING

POTATOES.

ON A BAD DAY, THEY

STARVED.

Reporter: WHEN

JIALI'S FATHER DIED AND

HER MOTHER ABANDONED HER,

GRANDMA SUE SET OUT TO

PROVIDE HER WITH THE BEST

LIFE SHE COULD.

I WANTED JIALI TO GO TO

SCHOOL.

I DIDN'T WANT HER TO

SUFFER, LIKE ME.

Terry: FOR YEARS SHE

SOLD POTATOES AT A TOURIST

ATTRACTION ON THE TOP OF A

MOUNTAIN.

TIMESOMETIMES JIALI WENT, TOO.

IT TOOK ALMOST AN HOUR

TO GET THERE.

AND GRANDMA WENT EVERY

DAY.

THE LONG WALK HURT HER

BACK AND HER LEGS.

Terry: IT WAS A GOOD

DAY IF THEY MADE $4.

MANY TIMES I DID NOT

SELL EVEN ONE POTATO.

AND I WOULD WAKE UP IN THE

MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT

WORRYING THAT THE NEXT DAY

WOULD BE THE SAME.

Terry: AT THIS RATE,

JIALI COULDN'T STAY IN

SCHOOL OR EAT A BALANCED

DIET.

I FELT GUILTY.

SHE GOT DIZZY A LOT.

I DIDN'T HAVE MONEY TO

BRING HER TO THE DOCTOR OR

GET HER MEDICINE.

IT WAS SO STRESSFUL THAT I

WANTED TO COMMIT SUICIDE.

BUT I KNEW IF I DID, MY

GRANDDAUGHTER WOULD SUFFER

EVEN MORE.

Terry: MEANWHILE,

JIALI WORRIED ABOUT HER

GRANDMOTHER, ESPECIALLY

AFTER THEY GOT CAUGHT IN A

BAD RAINSTORM ON THE WAY

TO WORK.

WE WERE SHIVERING LIKE

TWO DRENCHED SHEEP.

WE SOLD POTATOES ANYWAY.

BUT GRANDMA GOT SICK.

SHE COULDN'T WALK.

Terry: THEY DIDN'T

HAVE ENOUGH FIRE WORK TO

KEEP THE HOUSE WARM AND

COULDN'T AFFORD COAL.

SO GRANDMA SUE GOT WORSE.

I WAS AFRAID SHE WOULD

DIE.

WHAT WOULD I DO WITHOUT

HER?

Terry: GRANDMA SUE IS

A CHRISTIAN, SO SHE ASKED

GOD TO HEAL HER AND

IMPROVE HER LIFE.

SOON SHE RECOVERED AND MET

A REPRESENTATIVE FROM CBN.

WE PAID FOR SOME OF

JIALI'S SCHOOL FEES AND

PROVIDED HER WITH

NUTRITIOUS FOOD.

WE STOCKED HER HOME WITH

COAL SO THEY WOULD BE WARM

IN THE WINTER.

AND WE HELPED THEM START

LIVESTOCK.

NOW MY GRANDMA WON'T

HAVE TO CARRY HEAVY THINGS

ON HER BACK.

JIALI WILL BE ABLE TO

FINISH SCHOOL.

I'M MOVED THAT GOD WOULD

LOVE ME SO MUCH THAT HE

WOULD BRING YOU NICE

PEOPLE FROM SO FAR AWAY TO

HELP ME.

WORDS CANNOT EXPRESS MY

HAPPINESS.

Gordon: NOT ALL OF US

CAN GO.

NOT ALL OF US CAN GO TO

REMOTE AREAS OF CHINA,

REMOTE AREAS OF THE WORLD.

BUT WE CAN ALL BE PART OF

SENDING.

AND IF YOU'RE A MEMBER OF

"THE 700 CLUB," THANK YOU,
