Efrem: THANK YOU SO

MUCH FOR JOINING US FOR

CBN "NEWSWATCH."

I'M EFREM GRAHAM.

THE PRESIDENT IS PUSHING

FORWARD WITH AN AMBITIOUS

AGENDA.

HE SIGNED AN EXECUTIVE

ORDER ON TUESDAY, MAKING

GOOD ON A CAMPAIGN PROMISE

TO ROLE BACK PRESIDENT

OBAMA'S ENERGY

REGULATIONS, AND HE IS

STILL LOOKING TO REPEAL

AND REPLACE THE AFFORDABLE

CARE ACT.

THIS COMES EVEN AS THE

REPUBLICAN CONGRESSMAN

LEADING THE INVESTIGATION

INTO RUSSIAN ELECTION

MEDDLING FACES NEW

TURMOIL, WITH LEADERS ON

BOTH SIDES VOICING

CONCERNS.

President Trump: WITH

TODAY'S EXECUTIVE ACTION,

I AM TAKING STEPS TO LIFT

THE RESTRICTION ON

GOVERNMENT ENERGY, AND TO

CANCEL JOB-KILLING

REGULATIONS.

Efrem: AND WITH THE

STROKE OF A PEN, PRESIDENT

TRUMP SIGNED A SWEEPING

EXECUTIVE ORDER, TO ROLE

BACK MOST OF PRESIDENT

OBAMA'S CLIMATE CHANGE

LEGACY.

THE ORDER CALLS FOR A

REVIEW OF THE CLEAN POWER

PLANT, WHICH RESTRICTS

GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONS

AT COAL-POWERED PLANTS,

IT DOES NOT ADDRESS THE

2015 PARIS CLIMATE CHANGE

DEAL TO CAP GREENHOUSE GAS

EMISSIONS.

DURING THE CAMPAIGN LAST

YEAR, PRESIDENT TRUMP

ACCUSED PRESIDENT OBAMA OF

WAGING A WAR ON COAL.

THE WHITE HOUSE SAYS THE

MEASURE WILL PRODUCE NEW

COAL-MINING JOBS, BUT THE

PRESIDENT'S CRITICS

QUESTION JUST HOW MANY,

AND ENVIRONMENTAL GROUPS

ARE PROMISING TO FIGHT THE

PRESIDENTIAL ACTIONS IN

COURT.

STILL, THE TRUMP

ADMINISTRATION IS PUSHING

FORWARD WITH THE

PRESIDENT'S AMBITIOUS

AGENDA.

EVEN IN THE FACE OF

ONGOING PRESSURE AND

QUESTIONS ABOUT TIES

BETWEEN PRESIDENT TRUMP'S

ASSOCIATES AND RUSSIA,

SOMETHING THE WHITE HOUSE

DENIES.

THERE IS NO CONNECTION.

YOU'VE GOT RUSSIA.

IF THE PRESIDENT PUTS

RUSSIAN SALAD DRESSING ON

HIS SALAD TONIGHT, SOMEHOW

THAT IS A RUSSIAN

CONNECTION.

Efrem: AND DESPITE

REPUBLICANS' FAILURE TO

PASS THEIR HEALTH CARE

BILL LAST WEEK, THE

PRESIDENT REMAINS HOPEFUL

HE WILL GET A HEALTH CARE

BILL THROUGH CONGRESS.

BUT AFTER THAT FAILURE, AS

PAUL RYAN PUT IT...

OBAMACARE IS THE LAW OF

THE LAND.

Efrem: BUT RYAN SAYS

REPUBLICANS HAVE NOT GIVEN

UP ON REPEALING AND

REPLACING OBAMACARE.

RYAN TOLD REPORTERS THAT

THE VARIOUS REPUBLICANS

FACTIONS WHO SPLIT OVER

THE BILL LAST WEEK ARE

TALKING WITH EACH OTHER,

WITH RYAN SAYING, "WE ARE

ALL GOING TO WORK TOGETHER

AND LISTEN TOGETHER UNTIL

WE GET THIS RIGHT.

IT'S JUST TOO IMPORTANT."

> CONGRESS HAS SENT

PRESIDENT TRUMP

LEGISLATION THAT COULD END

ONLINE PRIVACY.

THE SENATE AND HOUSE VOTED

TO REPEAL AN F.C.C. RULING

THAT PROTECTS INTERNET

PRIVACY AND DATA.

IF SIGNED BY THE

PRESIDENT, INTERNET

PROVIDERS WILL BE ABLE TO

MONITOR COSTUMERS' ONLINE

BEHAVIOR AND SELL THAT

INFORMATION TO OTHER

COMPANIES, ALL WITHOUT THE

COSTUMERS' PERMISSION.

> THE TWO WHO EXPOSED

PLANNED PARENTHOOD ACTION

OF SELLING BABY PARTS HAVE

BEEN CHARGED WITH

VIOLATING THE PRIVACY OF

HEALTH CARE PROVIDERS.

THEY FACE A FELONY COUNT

FOR EACH PERSON THEY

SECRETLY RECORDED, AND AN

ADDITIONAL FELONY CHARGE

FOR CRIMINAL CONSPIRACY.

SIMILAR CHARGES WERE

DROPPED IN TEXAS.

BUT THE CALIFORNIA JUDGE

SAYS THE PAIR VIOLATED

PRIVACY LAWS.

> FOR 10 YEARS AN

ABORTION GROUP CALLED "40

DAYS FOR LIFE" HAS BEEN

TARGETED ABORTION CLINICS

AND SOME 40 NATIONS.

IT HITS THEM WITH PRAYING,

PROTESTING, AND PRESENCE

OUTSIDE THEIR DOORS.

AS PAUL STRAND REPORTS,

THEY ARE MAKING A

DIFFERENCE.

Reporter: IT HAS

PROMINENT PRO-LIFERS LIKE

ARINA GROSSO, EXCITED

ABOUT ALL OF THE GOOD IT

AND SIMILAR EFFORTS HAVE

DONE.

THEY WERE ABLE TO SAVE

OVER 12,000 BABIES.

Reporter: IN FACT,

THE NUMBER STANDS AT

12,919 LIVES SAVED.

SOMETIMES OUTSIDE SUCH

CLINICS, THE PRESENCE OF

THOSE WHO WANT TO SAVE THE

BABIES HAS CHANGED THE

HEARTS OF THE WORKERS

ABORTING THEM INSIDE.

143 ABORTION WORKERS

HAVE CONVERTED AND HAVE

DECIDED TO COME OUT OF THE

ABORTION BUSINESS.

Reporter: AND MANY OF

THEIR WORK PLACES HAVE

BEEN RUN OUT OF BUSINESS.

SO FAR 83 ABORTION

CENTERS HAVE CLOSED AS AS

A RESULT OF "40 DAYS FOR

LIFE."

Reporter: IT AND

SIMILAR COMPAIGNS OFTEN

CONCENTRATE ON PLANNED

PARENTHOOD SINCE IT DOES

MORE THAN A THIRD OF THE

ABORTIONS, BUT NOW MORE

THAN A THIRD HAVE CLOSED.

NOW THEY ARE DOWN TO

UNDER 625 CLINICS.

WHEN PEOPLE GET INVOLVED,

WE'RE SAVING LIVES AND

MAKING A STATEMENT BECAUSE

WE WANT PEOPLE TO STAND

HERE AND BE THE PUBLIC

CONSCIENCE FOR WHAT IS

GOING ON IN THERE.

Reporter: THIS MEGA

CENTER'S LOCATION IS

PARTICULARLY TROUBLESOME

TO PROLIFERS.

IT IS NOT ONLY ACROSS

THE STREET, BUT NEXT THE

THESE CHARTER SCHOOL.

IN ONE BUILDING CHILDREN

ARE BEING TAUGHT, AND IN

ANOTHER BUILDING, CHILDREN

ARE BEING KILLED.

Reporter: AND

REPUBLICANS ARE TEMPTED TO

DEFUND PLANNED PARENTHOOD

WHICH GETS A HALF BILLION

IN FUNDING EACH YEAR.

WE HAVE SEEN A TSUNAMI

OF PRO-LIFE LAWS PASS,

ESPECIALLY IN THE LAST

FIVE YEARS.

338 LAWS HAVE PASSED.

Reporter: THINKING

ABOUT NEA NEARLY OF 60 MILLION

ABORTIONS HERE IN AMERICA

COULD BE DISHEARTENING AND

KEANDDEPRESSING, BUT THERE ARE

HUNDREDS OF ANTI-ABORTION

BILLS THAT HAVE BEEN

PASSED, AND THE NEARL NEAR THE BABIES

THAT HAVE BEEN SAVED.

PAUL STRAND, REPORTING

FROM OUTSIDE WASHINGTON.

Efrem: THEY GRANTED A

PERSON IN PORTLAND THE

FREEDOM TO BECOME

GENDERLESS.

HE IS SUPPOSEDLY THE FIRST

LEGALLY GENDERLESS PERSON

IN THE UNITED STATES.

THE MAN TOLD NBC NEWS.

EVEN GENDER-NEUTRAL

PRONOUNCE DON'T FEEL LIKE

THEY FIT ME.

WHAT DESCRIBES ME IS MY

NAME.

NO U.S. COURT HAS EVER

GRANTED A LEGALLY

GENDERLESS STATUS BEFORE

NOW.

> THREE STORM CHASERS

WERE KILLED AFTER THEIR

VEHICLES COLLIDED IN AN

INTERSECTION DURING A

STORM CHASE IN TEXAS.

THE TWO MEN WERE

CONTRACTORS FOR THE

NETWORK AND STARS OF A NEW

REALITY SHOW CALLED "STORM

WRANGLERS."

ONE OF THE THINGS I

REALLY LIKE ABOUT DOING

THIS IS THAT WE'RE ABLE TO

STREAM IT LIVE.

PEOPLE CAN SIT AT HOME,

WHERE IT IS SAFE, AND

WE'RE OUT THERE GETTING

THE SHOT FOR THEM.

Efrem: THE DEPARTMENT

OF PUBLIC SAFETY SAYS ONE

OF THE VEHICLES RAN A STOP

SIGN AT THE INTERSECTION,

WHICH CAUSED THE CRASH.

TORNADOES HAD ALREADY BEEN

REPORTED IN THE AREA NEAR

THE TIME OF THE CRASH.

ALL THREE DRIVERS WERE

REPORTED DEAD AT THE

SCENE.

> STILL AHEAD, THE EPIC

STORY OF BATTLING THE

WORLD'S MOST DEADLY VIRUS

COMES TO THE BIG SCREEN.

WE'LL GIVE YOU A FIRST

LOOK AT THE FILM "FACING

Efrem: IN THE SUMMER

OF 2014, A DEADLY OUTBREAK

OF THE EBOLA VIRUS SPREAD

THROUGH WEST AFRICA,

KILLING THOUSANDS.

A HANDFUL OF AMERICAN

DOCTORS AND NURSES FROM

"SAMARITAN'S PURSE" FOUGHT

THE OUTBREAK FOR WEEKS,

AND THEN TWO OF THEM

CONTRACTED THE VIRUS.

NOW "SAMARITAN'S PURSE" IS

RELEASING A POWERFUL

DOCUMENTARY ABOUT THE

EPIDEMIC.

TAKE A LOOK.

THE NUMBERS OF NEW

CASES AND DEATHS ARE STILL

RISING.

Efrem: IT'S A DISEASE

THAT KILLED NEARLY 30,000

PEOPLE OVER THE COURSE OF

TWO YEARS.

NOW A GRIPPING NEW

DOCUMENTARY TELLS THE

MIRACULOUS STORY OF THE

AMERICAN MISSIONARIES WHO

FOUGHT THE EBOLA OUTBREAK

IN LIBERIA AND CONTRACTED

THE ILLNESS.

I REMEMBER JUST GETTING

ON THE FLOOR AND PRAYING,

OH, GOD, IT'S NOT TOO MUCH

FOR YOU TO SAVE HIS LIFE,

WILL YOU SAVE IT?

Efrem: IT IS

CERTAINLY CLEAR IN THE

FILM THIS IS A DIFFICULT

TIME FOR YOUR MINISTRY.

WHY SHARE THIS STORY ON

FILM?

SO MANY PEOPLE THAT

WERE INVOLVED IN FIGHTING

EBOLA, THERE IN LIBERIA

AND GUINEA AND SIERRA

LEONE, WERE YOUNG PEOPLE.

AND I WANT THE WORLD TO

SEE WHAT GOD DID AND HOW

HE USED THE LIVES OF YOUNG

PEOPLE TO FIGHT THE

WORLD'S MOST DEADLY VIRUS.

MY PHONE RANG, AND KEN

ISAAC SAID ONE OF OUR

DOCTORS, KENT BRANTLY, HAS

EASEBOLA.

Efrem: "FACING

DARKNESS" SHOWS THE RAW,

EMOTIONAL JOURNEY OF

AMERICAN MEDICAL WORKERS

FIGHTING A DEADLY

EPIDEMIC, AND THE MIRACLE

IT TOOK TO SAVE THEIR

LIVES.

THIS IS A STORY HOW GOD

SAVED DR. BRANTLY.

BUT YET I WANT ANOTHER

GENERATION TO SEE IT, AND

I WANT YOUNG PEOPLE TO SEE

IT BECAUSE GOD CAN USE

THEIR LIVES.

I WANT THEM TO KNOW GOD

NEEDS THEM AND WANTS TO

USE THEM, IF THEY'RE

WILLING TO TRUST THEM.

TO BE HONEST, NOT A DAY

GOES BY I DON'T THINK

ABOUT LIBERIA AND OUR

EXPERIENCE.

Efrem: WHILE DR. KENT

BRANTLY SAYS IT IS A BIT

UNCOMFORTABLE SEEING

HIMSELF ON THE BIG SCREEN,

IT ALLOWS HIM TO REMEMBER

GOD'S GREATNESS.

GOD SAID, TELL YOUR

CHILDREN WE WERE SLAVES IN

EGYPT.

I THINK IT IS REALLY

IMPORTANT TO REMEMBER THE

HARD TIMES WE'VE BEEN

THROUGH AND WHAT GOD HAS

DONE IN OUR LIVES TO HELP

INFORM THE WAY WE MOVE

FORWARD.

Efrem: DR. BRANTLY

AND HIS WIFE, AMBER, HAD

ALREADY BEEN SERVING IN

LIBERIA FOR A YEAR WHEN

THE EBOLA EPIDEMIC HIT.

HIS DIAGNOSIS CAME JUST

DAYS AFTER AMBER LEFT ON A

SHORT TRIP WITH THEIR

CHILDREN, BACK HOME TO THE

STATES.

MY PRAYERS IN THOSE

DAYS WERE VERY SIMPLE.

MY PRAYERS WERE: GOD,

HELP.

HELP ME.

HELP ME TO BE FAITHFUL.

I REALLY THINK MY PRAYER

FOR MY CHILDREN IN THAT

MOMENT, WHEN I DIDN'T

THINK I WAS GOING TO

LIVE -- MY PRAYER WAS THAT

I WOULD BE FAITHFUL, THAT

THEY WOULD HAVE A LEGACY

OF A FATHER WHO WAS

FAITHFUL, EVEN IN HIS

DEATH.

ALL TOGETHER, I LOSE

17.

Efrem: FILM-MAKERS

SAY THE PROCESS OF WEAVING

ALL OF THE STORIES

TOGETHER PROVED

CHALLENGING.

THE STORY OF "FACING

DARKNESS" IS TRULY AN EPIC

ONE.

THERE ARE SO MANY STORIES

AND SO MANY THREADS, AND

IT WAS REALLY, REALLY HARD

TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO

WHITTLE IT DOWN.

OUR EDITOR WAS ABLE TO

FIND SOME OF THE MOST

POWERFUL SOUND BYTES AND

THE MOST POWERFUL PORTION

OF PEOPLE'S STORIES AND

PUT THEM TOGETHER.

THAT IS ONE OF THE WAYS WE

WERE ABLE TO GET THROUGH

THAT.

DAVID LOOKED AT ME AND

HE SAID, YOU, TOO, HAVE

EBOLA.

Efrem: NANCY ALSO

CONTRACTED EBOLA.

SHE HOPES THE FILM WILL

CONVEY TO AUDIENCES THE

MESSAGE OF THE IMPORTANCE

OF UNITY.

IT IS NOT ABOUT TWO OR

THREE OR HOWEVER MANY ARE

IN THE MOVIE -- IT'S NOT

ABOUT US.

IT IS ABOUT A PARTNERSHIP

AND OUR WORKING TOGETHER

WITH THE PEOPLE THAT YOU

LIVE WITH.

IT'S LIVING WITHIN

COMMUNITY.

PEOPLE SHARED A LOT OF

CANDID THINGS WITH US,

WHEN WE INTERVIEWED THEM

AND HAD THEM SHARE FOR

"FACING DARKNESS."

AND -- BUT YET THOSE ARE

THINGS THAT SOMETIMES SAY,

I SHOULDN'T HAVE SAID

THAT.

WHY DID I SAY THAT?

BUT YET THAT'S WHAT MAKES

US HUMAN.

AND WE CAN ALL RELATE TO

THAT.

AND WE CAN ALL -- LIKE I

SAID EARLIER, WE CAN ALL

LEARN FROM THAT.

Efrem: THE PRODUCTION

TEAM HOPES THE FILM WILL

CHALLENGE AUDIENCES.

I HOPE PEOPLE WILL

LEAVE THE THEATER ASKING

THEMSELVES, WOULD I BE

THAT BRAVE?

WHAT WOULD I DO?

YOU DON'T HAVE TO LOOK FAR

IN THE NEWS TODAY TO FIND

PLACES WHERE WE ARE FACED

WITH FEAR.

AND I THINK SOMETHING THAT

THIS FILM CAN HELP US DO

IS TO LOOK AT THOSE

CIRCUMSTANCES IN OUR LIVES

AND IN THE WORLD TODAY

THROUGH A DIFFERENT LENS

AND SAY, WHAT DOES IT LOOK

LIKE IF WE CHOOSE NOT TO

RESPOND OUT OF THE FEAR WE

FEEL, BUT INSTEAD WE HAVE

THE COURAGE TO MOVE

FORWARD IN COMPASSION.

IF WE'RE WILLING TO PUT

OUR FAITH AND TRUST IN

GOD, AND HIS SON, JESUS

CHRIST -- IF HE'S IN OUR

BOAT, WE DON'T HAVE TO

WORRY ABOUT THAT BOAT

SINKING.

I WANT THE WORLD TO SEE

WHAT GOD DID, AND AT THE

SAME TIME, I'M HOPING GOD

WILL USE US TO BRING UP AN

ARMY OF YOUNG PEOPLE WHO

WILL SAY, HERE I AM, SEND

ME.

Efrem: "FACING

DARKNESS" WILL BE IN

THEATERS FOR TWO NIGHTS

ONLY, MARCH 30th, AND

APRIL 10th.

> UP NEXT, WE'RE SITTING

DOWN WITH DR. ANTONIO WEB,

AND HE SHARES HIS AM AMAZING

Efrem: DR. ANTONIO

WEBB IS A PHYSICIAN WHO

SPENT TIME FIGHTING EBOLA

IN WEST AFRICA, BUT THAT

MAY NOT HAVE BEEN HIS

BIGGEST BATTLE.

HE SHARES HIS JOURNEY IN

THE BOOK "OVERCOMING THE

ODDS."

I SAT DOWN WITH HIM FOR

THIS WEEK'S "STUDIO 5"

INTERVIEW.

*

Efrem: LIBERIA IS

WHERE GEORGETOWN

UNIVERSITY STUDENT ANTONIO

WEBB BEGAN HIS CAREER IN

MEDICINE.

AND HE ARRIVED AT AN

UNFORGETTABLE TIME.

WE GOT TO THE HOSPITAL,

MY FIRST DAY IN THE

COUNTRY, AND I SAW PEOPLE

RUNNING AROUND FRANTICLY,

AND I FOUND OUT THERE WAS

AN EBOLA OUTBREAK.

THE PEOPLE OF LIBERIA

REALLY NEEDED OUR HELP.

THE HOSPITAL DIDN'T HAVE A

LOT OF THE SUPPLIES I

NEEDED.

THAT'S THE FIRST PLACE I

ACTUALLY LOST A PATIENT,

IN LIBERIA, AS A NEW

DOCTOR.

IT WAS VERY HEARTBREAKING.

Efrem: HEARTBREAK

CAME EARLY AND OFTEN AS A

CHILD, GROWING UP IN

SHREVEPORT, LOUISIANA.

A LOT OF MY FRIENDS

DEFINITELY WENT TO PRISON,

AND SOME WERE KILLED AND

DEFINITELY IN JAIL TO THIS

DAY.

Efrem: PHOTOS PAINT A

PICTURE OF CHILDHOOD,

ANTONIO HAS A BABY,

SNAPSHOTS WITH HIS GRANDMA

AND TWO BROTHERS.

NOT MANY WITH HIS MOM AND

SISTER.

SINCE I WAS YOUNGER,

SHE HAD BEEN IN AND OUT OF

THE HOSPITAL 30, 40 TIMES,

AND MAYBE OUT OF JAIL 15,

20 TIMES.

I NEVER KNEW WHY.

I ALWAYS JUST KNEW THAT

SOMETHING WAS A LITTLE BIT

OFF AND SOMETHING WAS

WRONG.

BUT I NEVER KNEW WHY.

Efrem: WHEN DID YOU

FIGURE OUT WHAT WAS WRONG?

FOUR YEARS AGO.

Efrem: AND WHAT'S

WRONG?

MY MOM AND MY SISTER

HAVE SCRIT SCRIT.

SCHIZOPHRENIA.

NOT A LOT OF PEOPLE KNOW

THIS.

I ACTUALLY JUST FOUND OUT

ABOUT IT WHEN I WAS IN

MEDICAL SCHOOL, LEARNING

ABOUT DIFFERENT

PSYCHIATRIC DRUGS.

SHE CALLED ONE DAY AND

SAID SHE WAS TAKING HER

MEDICINES, AND I SAID,

WHAT MEDICATIONS ARE YOU

TAKING.

AND SHE TOLD ME THE NAME

OF THE MEDICATION, AND IT

JUST HIT ME.

I REMEMBER EVERYTHING FROM

THE YEARS OF HER TRYING TO

COMMIT SUICIDE AND ON

DRUGS, AND HAD THE

HOSPITAL KIND OF PUT THOSE

TWO TOGETHER.

Efrem: MOM'S TROUBLE

WAS ANTONIO'S DRIVE TO

WORK HARDER, JUGGLING HIGH

SCHOOL AND A JOB.

I THINK I WAS 15, AND I

WANTED TO START WORKING.

I CHANGED THE DATE SO I

COULD START WORKING.

THEY ACTUALLY GAVE ME THE

JOB.

Efrem: ANTONIO'S

YOUNGEST BROTHER,

JONATHAN, WAS A COMPUTER

WIZ.

THE F.B.I. RAIDED OUR

HOUSE BECAUSE OF A

COMPUTER OPERATION HE WAS

RUNNING.

Efrem: WHAT AGE WAS

HE?

14 OR 15.

Efrem: 14 AND THE

F.B.I. IS AFTER THEM?

YEAH.

Efrem: WHAT ARE YOU

DOING AT 14 WITH A

COMPUTER --

AFTER THAT ORDEAL, HE

STARTED HANGING AROUND

WITH THE WRONG CROWD AND

HE ENDED UP GOING TO JAIL

FOR ARMED ROBBERY AT 16

YEARS OLD.

THEY GAVE HIM JUVENILE

LIFE FOR ARMED ROBBERY.

Efrem: AND YOU GO TO

JAIL TO VISIT HIM.

YEAH.

Efrem: YOU SAY THAT

WAS ONE OF THE TOUGHEST

THINGS YOU HAD TO DO?

YEAH, ABSOLUTELY.

I THINK JUST SEEING HIM IN

PRISON, WALKING OUT IN THE

ORANGE JUMPSUIT AND

CHAINS, AND SHACKLES ON

HIS FEET AND HANDS, ONE

THING I WILL NEVER FORGET,

WHEN HE CAME OUT, HE NEVER

STOPPED SMILING.

HE CAME UP TO THE COUNTER,

AND HE SAID HE WANTED TO

SING A SONG.

AND IT WAS A CHRISTIAN

SONG.

AND THE SONG WAS CALLED

"LOVE."

BASICALLY HE STARTED

SINGING, AND BASICALLY

TEARS RAN DOWN MY EYES.

I COULDN'T HUG HIM.

I COULDN'T TOUCH HIM.

Efrem: JONATHAN DIED

IN 2008, AS ANTONIO

FOLLOWED IN THE FOOTSTEPS

OF HIS OLDER BROTHER CHRIS

AND HIS FATHER, IN THE

MILITARY.

MY DAD IS MY ROLE

MODEL.

I LOOK UP TO HIM A LOT.

HE HAD A TROUBLED

CHILDHOOD HIMSELF, SELLING

DRUGS AND USING DRUGS.

HE WENT TO PRISON WHEN HE

WAS YOUNGER FOR LOTS OF

DIFFERENT CRIMES THAT HE

COMMITTED.

Efrem: DAD IS NOW A

MINISTER AND ANTONIO'S

BIGGEST SUPPORTER.

IT IS A GENERATIONAL STORY

OF OVERCOMING THE ODDS.

DR. WEBB SHARES IT IN HIS

BOOK.

I KNEW I NEEDED CHANGE.

THE MOST IMPORTANT THING

FOR ME WAS I DIDN'T WANT

TO BE LIKE MY FAMILY

MEMBERS AND MY FRIENDS.

I WANTED TO BE DIFFERENT.

THAT'S ONE THING ABOUT ME:

I ALWAYS WANTED TO BE

DIFFERENT.

THAT'S WHY I STUCK TO THE

BOOKS, AND IT HAS PAID

OFF.

Efrem: YOU ENCOURAGE

PEOPLE TO BE DIFFERENT IN

YOUR BOOK.

ABSOLUTELY.

YOU HAVE TO BE DIFFERENT.

IT IS EXCITING.

EVEN THOUGH PEOPLE MAY

LAUGH AT YOU AND CALL YOU

NAMES, JESUS WAS

DIFFERENT.

SSO I ENCOURAGE EVERYONE TO

BE DIFFERENT.

Efrem: INDEED, JESUS

WAS DIFFERENT.

DR. WEBB HAS PLANS TO GO

BACK TO LIBERIA TO HELP IN

HEALTH CARE AS WELL.

> STAY WITH US; WE'LL BE

RIGHT BACK.

Efrem: IT IS TIME FOR

Efrem: IT IS TIME FOR

YOUR WEDNESDAY WORD, AND

TODAY'S WORD IS "LOVE."

CONSIDER THIS: GOD'S LOVE

FOR YOU IS DEEPER THAN ANY

OCEAN, TALLER THAN THE

HIGHEST MOTION, AND MORE

VAST THAN ANY VISION YOUR

EYES CAN BEHOLD.

REST IN THAT REALITY FOR A

MOMENT.

IT SHOULD OVERWHELM YOU.

IT SHOULD ALSO PROPEL YOU

TO GET UP, WALK IN THAT

LOVE, AND EXTEND IT, EVEN

TO THAT PERSON YOU FIND

MOST ANNOYING.

AND DO IT WITHOUT

EXPECTING ANYTHING IN

RETURN.

YOU ALREADY HAVE THE LOVE

OF GOD FOR YOURSELF.
