Efrem: THANKS FOR

JOINING US FOR CBN

"NEWSWATCH."

I'M EFREM GRAHAM.

STEVE SCALISE IS IN

CRITICAL CONDITION AFTER A

GUNMAN OPENED FIRE ON HIM

AND OTHER REPUBLICAN

LAWMAKERS AT A BASEBALL

PRACTICE IN VIRGINIA ON

WEDNESDAY.

ERIC GONZALES IS FOLLOWING

THIS STORY.

[GUNFIRE SHOTS]

Reporter: NOAH WAS

WALKING HIS DOG RIGHT NEXT

TO THE PRACTICE AT SIMPSON

FIELD WHEN SHOTS RANG OUT

ON WEDNESDAY MORNING.

I THOUGHT IT WAS

FIREWORKS.

AND THEN I HEARD ANOTHER

ONE, AND I THOUGHT, THIS

ISN'T FIREWORKS, AND I SAW

SOME OF THE PLAYERS

SCURRING AROUND.

SO I GOT DOWN.

Reporter: THE GUNFIRE

LASTED FOR SEVERAL

MINUTES.

NATHAN HID BEHIND A TRASH

CAN.

YOU ACTUALLY THAT SHOTS

COME NEAR YOU?

YEAH.

THEY WERE HITTING OFF OF

THE GRAVEL.

Reporter: IN THE END,

CONGRESSMAN STEVE SCALISE

WAS STRUCK IN THE HIP,

RUSHED TO THE HOSPITAL,

AND UNDERWENT SURGERY.

ZACK BARTH WAS ALSO HIT

AND IS EXPECTED TO MAKE A

FULL RECOVERY.

AND KRYSTAL GRINER WAS

SHOT AS WAS BAILEY.

I ONLY SAW HIM FOR A

SECOND OR TWO, LONG ENOUGH

FOR ME TO RECOGNIZE IF I

COULD SEE HIM, HE COULD

SEE ME.

Reporter: F.B.I.

INVESTIGATORS SAY THE

SHOOTER, 66-YEAR-OLD JAMES

HODGKINSON, DIED AT THE

HOSPITAL, AFTER BEING SHOT

IN THE CHEST SEVERAL

TIMES.

HE WAS HIGHLY CRITICAL OF

PRESIDENT TRUMP AND OTHER

REPUBLICANS ON SOCIAL

MEDIA.

HE HAD BEEN IN TROUBLE

WITH THE LAW BEFORE.

THE POLICE RECEIVED A

PHONE CALL ABOUT HIM AFTER

GUNFIRE WAS REPORTED NEAR

HIS BELLEVILLE, ILLINOIS

HOME.

HE WAS LIVING OUT OF HIS

CAR SINCE MARCH OF THIS

YEAR.

WE WILL CONTINUE TO

PROCESS THE SCENE HERE IN

ALEXANDRIA, AND THE F.B.I.

AGENTS ARE SEARCHING THE

SHOOTER'S HOME.

Reporter: A LOCAL

PASTOR SHOWED UP QUICKLY

TO PROVIDE PRAYER AND

SUPPORT.

THE VIOLENCE SHOULD

NEVER BE.

Reporter: MEANWHILE,

BOTH U.S. CAPITAL AND

ALEXANDRIA POLICE PRAISE

THE WORK OF OFFICERS

DESIGNED TO PROTECT

SCALISE, AS WELL AS

OFFICERS RESPONDING TO THE

SCENE.

I'M VERY PROUD OF THE

OFFICERS FROM THE A.C. D.,

AND AS WELL AS THE

OFFICERS FROM ALEXANDRIA.

Reporter: ERIC

GONZALES, CBN NEWS,

WASHINGTON.

Efrem: AS YOU CAN

IMAGINE, LAWMAKERS IN

WASHINGTON ARE STILL

REELING AFTER YESTERDAY'S

ATTACK.

ABIGAIL ROBERTSON BRINGS

US MORE NOW ON THE

AFTERMATH.

AN ATTACK ON ONE OF US

IS AN ATTACK ON ALL OF US.

[APPLAUSE]

Reporter: PARTISAN

POLITICS PAUSED FOR A DAY

AS CAPITOL HILL UNITED IN

PRAYERS FOR THOSE INJURED

IN WEDNESDAY'S ATTACK.

WE WERE SITTING DUCKS.

I MEAN, WE HAD NOTHING TO

FIGHT BACK WITH BUT BATS.

Reporter: CONGRESSMAN

ROGER WILLIAMS TOLD US OF

EFFORTS TO HELP HIS

WOUNDED AIDE, AS WELL AS

JEFF TYING A TOURNIQUET

AROUND HIS LEG.

ALL THE TIME HE WAS

BLEEDING, HE WAS TEXTING,

LETTING PEOPLE KNOW WE

WERE UNDER FIRE AND WE

NEEDED HELP.

Reporter: RAND PAUL

SAID HE FELT HELPLESS

WATCHING REPRESEN REPRESENTATIVE

SCALISE GO DOWN BECAUSE OF

GUNFIRE.

PAUL SAID HAD SCALISE, AS

A HOUSE LEADER, NOT HAD

HIS CAPITAL POLICE

SECURITY DETAIL WITH HIM,

IT WOULD HAVE BEEN A

MASSACRE.

TRUE HEROS.

A MAN AND A WOMAN, THEY

CONFRONTED THE ATTACKER

AND RETURNED FIRE.

BOTH WERE WOUNDED, BOTH

ARE IN THE HOSPITAL, BUT

THEY PROBABLY SAVED THE

LIVES OF MANY PEOPLE.

Reporter: THE

DEMOCRATIC BASEBALL TEAM

PRACTICING NEARBY STOPPED

AND PRAYED IN THE DUGOUT

UPON HEARING THE NEWS.

THAT TYPE OF EMOTION SWEPT

CAPITOL HILL AS OTHER

LAWMAKERS LEARNED OF THE

SHOOTING.

SENATOR LANGFORD TOLD CBN

HOW HE SAW VARIOUS

STAFFERS IN PRAYER, AND HE

ENDED HIS SPEECH THANKING

GOD FOR HIS PROTECTION.

MANY OF MY FELLOW

COLLEAGUES HAVE FACED A

LOT OF PERSONAL DEATH

THREATS TO THEM AND THEIR

FAMILY.

WE SEE WHAT THAT REALLY

LOOKS LIKE WHEN IT

ACTUALLY GETS CARRIED OUT

BY SOME INDIVIDUAL THAT

MOVES FROM MAKING THREATS

TO CARRYING THAT OUT.

Reporter: EARLIER

PRESIDENT TRUMP CALLED FOR

UNITY AS HE SPOKE TO THE

NATION ABOUT THE SHOOTING.

President Trump:

AMERICA IS PRAYING FOR ALL

OF THE VICTIMS OF THIS

TERRIBLE SHOOTING.

Reporter: IN THE

EVENING, HE LEFT THE WHITE

HOUSE TO VISIT SCALISE AND

OTHER CONGRESSIONAL

OFFICERS.

Reporter: REPORTING

FROM CAPITOL HILL, ABIGAIL

ROBERTSON, CBN NEWS.

Efrem: ABIGAIL, THANK

YOU.

> SOUTHERN BAPTIST TOOK

A STAND AGAINST RACISM AT

THEIR NATIONAL MEETING.

THEY CONDEMNED ALL FORMS

OF RACISM.

RUSSELL MOORE WAS THE MAIN

BACKER.

IF WE'RE JESUS PEOPLE,

LET'S STAND WHERE JESUS

STANDS.

AND JESUS SAYS, MY HOUSE

WILL BE A HOUSE FOR ALL

PEOPLE.

Efrem: THEY INITIALLY

REFUSED TO TAKE UP THE

RESOLUTION, AND BACKERS

SAY THAT'S BECAUSE MANY

SOUTHERN BAPTISTS ARE NOT

FAMILIAR WITH THEALT RIGHT

MOVEMENT.

SOUTHERN BAPTISTS DEFINE

THE RIGHT AS AN UMBRELLA

FOR VARIOUS GROUPS

ASSOCIATED WITH WHITE

IDENTITY POLITICS.

> THE "WASHINGTON POST"

IS REPORTING SPECIAL

COUNSEL, ROBERT MUELLER,

IS EXAMINING WHETHER THE

PRESIDENT TRIED TO

OBSTRUCT JUSTICE.

ACCUSATIONS CAME UP AFTER

JAMES COMEY TESTIFIED LAST

WEEK HE BELIEVED HE WAS

FIRED BECAUSE OF THE

RUSSIA INVESTIGATION.

THE POST AND THE "NEW YORK

TIMES" REPORT THAT HE IS

SEEKING INTERVIEWS WITH

THREE OFFICIALS NOT

INVOLVED IN THE CAMPAIGN.

> A FIRE TOOK THE LIVES

OF AT LEAST 17 PEOPLE IN

LONDON.

SMOKE CAN STILL BE SEEN

COMING FROM THE CHARRED

REMAINS OF THE GRENFEL

TOWER.

NOW COMMUNITY LEADERS ARE

ASKING HOW THE BUILDING

CAUGHT FIRE.

AUTHORITIES SAY THEY'RE

INVESTIGATING THE CAUSE OF

THE FIRE, AND THE U.K.

FIRE DEPARTMENT IS STILL

WORKING TO FIND SURVIVORS.

AND THERE ARE, AS WE

BELIEVE, STILL UNKNOWN

NUMBERS OF PEOPLE IN THE

BUILDING.

DUE TO THE SEVERITY OF THE

FIRE, IT WILL TAKE A LONG

TIME FOR THEM TO SEARCH

AND PROPERLY IDENTIFY

ANYONE WHO IS LEFT IN THE

BUILDING.

WE WILL DO THAT AS SOON AS

WE CAN, IN CONJUNCTION

WITH THE POLICE.

Efrem: PRIME MINISTER

THERESA MAY IS VISITING

THE SCENE TODAY.

MORE THAN ONE MILLION

POUNDS HAS BEEN RAISED TO

HELP THOSE AFFECTED BY

THAT FIRE.

> LEO VARDECAR IS THE

FIRST OPENLY PRIME

MINISTER TO TAKE OFFICE

AND IS ALSO THE YOUNGEST.

HE IS LIABL LIBERAL ON ISSUES

SUCH AS GENDER IDENTITY

AND ABORTION.

HE SAID POLITICS OF THE

PAST WERE NO LONGER

ACCEPTABLE.

THE GOVERNMENT THAT I LEAD

WILL NOT BE ONE OF LEFT OR

RIGHT, BECAUSE THOSE OLD

DIVISIONS DO NOT

COMPREHEND THE POLITICAL

CALLIES OF TODAY.

> STILL AHEAD ON CBN

"NEWSWATCH," HE WANTED TO

HELP THE HOMELESS, AND HE

STARTED BY TAKING A TRIP

TO HOME DEPOT.

MEET THE MAN WHO IS

BUILDING THESE TINY HOMES

AND FIND OUT WHY THE CITY

WANTS TO SHUT HIM DOWN.

Efrem: MORE THAN A

HALF MILLION AMERICANS ARE

HOMELESS.

ONE MAN SAW THAT PROBLEM

AND CAME UP WITH A

SOLUTION.

BUILDING THEM TINY HOMES.

HIS IDEA HAS SPREAD

NATIONWIDE, AND WHILE MANY

OF THE HOMELESS ARE NOW

THANKFUL TO HAVE A PLACE

TO CALL THEIR OWN, AS

CHARLENE AARON REPORTS,

NOT ALL COMMUNITIES ARE

HAPPY ABOUT THE TINY

HOMES.

Charlene: THE

HOMELESS POPULATION IN

LOS ANGELES COUNTY

RECENTLY SOARED 23% OVER

JUST THE LAST YEAR.

4,000 HOMELESS JUST

BLOCKS FROM CITY HALL.

UNFORTUNATELY, THAT IS

JUST A SMALL PERCENTAGE OF

THE CITY'S HOMELESS

POPULATION.

Charlene: ACCORDING

TO THE L.A. TIMES, THE

STARTLING JUMP HAS TOUCHED

EVERY SIGNIFICANT GROUP,

INCLUDING YOUTH, FAMILIES,

VETERANS, AND THE

CHRONICALLY HOMELESS.

IN 2015, ELVIS SUMMERS,

ONCE HOMELESS HIMSELF,

STARTED TACKLING THE

PROBLEM ONE TINY HOUSE AT

A TIME.

IT ALL STARTED AFTER HE

BECAME FRIENDS WITH A

WOMAN NAMED IRENE MAGGIE,

BETTER KNOWN AS SMOKY.

IT WAS REALLY HARD.

PEOPLE TALK CRAZY TO YOU.

KIDS IS MEAN TO YOU.

Charlene: SHE HAD

BEEN HOMELESS FOR 10

YEARS, FOLLOWING THE LOSS

OF HER HUSBAND.

ONE DAY I WAS, LIKE,

SMOKY, I KNOW YOU SAID YOU

LIVE DOWN THE STREET, BUT

WHERE EXACTLY.

I MADE HER WALK ME DOWN

THERE AND SHOW ME.

AND IT WAS ONE OF THE

HOUSES DOWN THE STREET, IT

WAS A STRIP OF DIRT NEXT

TO A HOUSE, AND A BROKEN

CHAIR.

AND SHE WAS, LIKE, I SLEEP

OVER THERE.

AND I WAS, LIKE, WHERE

OVER THERE?

RIGHT BY THAT CHAIR.

AND I WAS JUST, YOU

KNOW -- IT JUST GOT TO ME.

Charlene: THAT MOVED

SUMMERS TO BUILD SMOKY A

PLACE SHE COULD CALL HOME,

A TINY HOME.

I SAID, HOW WOULD YOU

FEEL IF I BUILT YOU A

LITTLE, MINNIE HOUSE.

I LOVE HER RESPONSE.

SHE SAID, WHEN IS IT GOING

TO BE READY.

I WENT TO HOME DEPOT AND

BOUGHT $500 WORTH OF WOOD

AND THREW IT ON THE GROUND

AND WENT, OKAY.

I'LL BUILD A LITTLE TINY

HOUSE.

Charlene: IT TOOK

FIVE DAYS TO BUILD A THREE

AND A HALF BY EIGHT-FOOT

HOUSE.

VIDEO OF THE CONSTRUCTION

WENT VIRAL.

SINCE THEN, SUMMERS HAS

RAISED $100,000 TO BUILD

MORE OF THESE HOUSES FOR

PEOPLE IN HIS COMMUNITY.

EACH OF THESE HOMES HAS AN

ACTUAL ADDRESS LISTED ON

THEM, GIVING THOSE WHO

LIVE HERE A SENSE OF

OWNERSHIP AND SECURITY.

THAT'S WHAT PEOPLE

WANT, JUST A PLACE TO REST

THEIR HEAD.

SO I PUT AN ADDRESS ON

THERE TO MENTALLY HELP

THAT LIFT.

Charlene: CBN NEWS

WAS THERE WHEN SUMMERS

PRESENTED THIS HOMELESS

MAN WITH A HOME.

THIS HOUSE IS YOURS.

I EVEN PUT SOME FLAGS IN

IT SINCE YOU'RE A MARINE.

AND IF SOMEONE OPENS THE

WINDOW -- SORRY.

[SIREN]

Charlene: SOME LOCAL

GOVERNMENTS AROUND THE

COUNTRY ARE ALSO USING

THIS METHOD TO HELP THEIR

HOMELESS.

FROM CHICAGO TO PORTLAND,

OREGON.

BUT NOW BACK IN L.A.,

OFFICIALS SEE THE SMALL

HOUSES AS NUISANCES, WITH

SOME SAYING THEY POSE

HEALTH AND SAFETY RISKS.

THESE WOODEN SHACKS ARE

NOT THE REAL ESTATE I'M

LOOKING FOR IN MY

DISTRICT, SAYS ONE

COUNCILMAN.

ANOTHER SAYS, I'M GETTING

COMPLAINTS FROM

CONSTITUENTS WHO HAVE TO

WALK IN THE STREETS TO

AVOID THEM.

EARLIER THIS YEAR, THE

CITY COUNCIL MOVED TO

SEIZE THE HOMES WITHOUT

PRIOR NOTICES.

SUMMERS SHOT THIS VIDEO AS

THREE HOUSES WERE

CONFISCATED.

HE MANAGED TO MOVE EIGHT

OF THEM TO SAFE COMMUNITY

CHURCH, BUT THE PEOPLE WHO

LIVED IN THEM WERE ONCE

AGAIN ON THE STREET.

IT WAS WATCHING LINUS

AND PEANUTS DRAG THE

BLANKET AWAY.

IT WAS HEARTBREAKING.

Charlene: TIM

CHAMBERS IS A PASTOR.

IT BREAKS MY HEART HOW

THEY ARE TAKING THE

HOMELESS OUT.

ELVIS IS, AND I AM, TOO,

TRYING TO SEE IF WE CAN

GET SOME PROPERTIES TO SET

UP THOSE HOMES, TO BE ABLE

TO ALLOW THEM TO HAVE A

PLACE.

Charlene: AFTER

MONTHS OF BACKLASH AND

MEDIA ATTENTION, THE CITY

IS DEVELOPING A PROCESS TO

WORK WITH NON-PROFIT

GROUPS, INCLUDING SUMMERS,

TO HELP THOSE LIVING ON

THE STREETS.

MEANWHILE, SMOKY RECENTLY

PASSED AWAY.

SHE WAS A WONDERFUL

HUMAN BEING.

SHE WAS MY FRIEND.

Charlene: HER MEMORY,

SAYS SUMMERS, MOTIVATES

HIM TO HELP OTHERS.

I CAN'T JUST GO AND

CHANGE THE WHOLE WORLD,

BUT I COULD DO MY BEST TO

CHANGE THE WORLD AROUND

ME.

AND THAT'S WHAT I'M TRYING

TO DO.

I HOPE THAT IN THE PROCESS

IT INSPIRES OTHER PEOPLE,

YOU KNOW, TO JUST TAKE A

SECOND, YOU KNOW, AND BE

BETTER.

Charlene: CHARLENE

AARON, CBN NEWS, COMPTON,

CALIFORNIA.

Efrem: YOUNG ADULTS

ARE ALL A NEW TREND IN

BANKING, BUT IT IS NOT

JUST FOR YOUNG PEOPLE.

SEE HOW DIGITAL BANKING

CAN BENEFIT OLDER ADULTS,

POSSIBLY EVEN MORE.

Efrem: THE FUTURE OF

BANKING AND MONEY IS AT

YOUR FINGERTIPS ON YOUR

CELL PHONE.

THE IDEA IS TO MAKE IT

EASIER FOR YOU TO DEAL

WITH YOUR FINANCES, FROM

ANYWHERE AND AT ANY TIME.

CAITLIN BURKE IS ON THIS

STORY.

Caitlin: THE BANKING

INDUSTRY IS BRACING FOR

CHANGE, THANKS TO THE ALL

POWERFUL DIGITAL

REVOLUTION.

THE FINANCIAL

TECHNOLOGY OF THINTACK IS

CHANGING THE WAY THAT

COSTUMERS INTERACT WITH

THEIR BANK.

Reporter: ROB MORGAN

SAYS COSTUMERS EXPECT THE

SAME TYPE OF DIGITAL

ACCESS TO BANKING AS THEY

GET WITH OTHER IMPORTANT

SERVICES.

I CAN GET MY MAIL ON HERE,

ORDER DINNER, EVEN HAIL A

CAB.

AND NOW THANKS TO

FINANCIAL TECHNOLOGY, I

CAN ALSO ACCESS MY MONEY.

IN TERMS OF BANKS AND

NON-BANKS IN THIS SPACE,

THERE ARE A NUMBER OF

PLAYERS.

REALLY BANKS ARE LOOKING

ACTIVELY TO PARTNER IN

THIS SPACE.

BANKS ARE LOOKING, AS ARE

THESE NEW COMPANIES, TO

WORK TOGETHER TO DELIVER

THE CUSTOMER THE BEST

EXPERIENCE.

Reporter: APPLE,

GOOGLE, AMZON, THE TECH

GIANTS ARE ALL ON BOARD.

MOST ARE STARTING OFF WITH

DIGITAL PAYMENT APPS.

THEY BELIEVE THIS

MODERNIZATION OF THE

BANKING SECTOR IS GOING TO

MAKE FINANCIAL SERVICES

MORE ACCESSIBLE, MORE

AFFORDABLE, AND ULTIMATELY

MORE SECURE.

Reporter: BRIAN

PETERS IS WITH "FINANCIAL

ORGANIZATION NOW," WHICH

REPRESENTS APPLE, AMAZON,

GOOGLE, AND PAYPAL.

I THINK WHENEVER YOU

HAVE A LITTLE BIT OF

COMPETITION AND A LITTLE

BIT OF CHANGE, IT IS

TOUGH.

PEOPLE NEED A LITTLE BIT

OF TIME TO ACCOMMODATE,

BUT THIS CHANGE IS COMING,

AND IT IS COMING QUICKLY.

IT IS HERE NOW, AND WE'RE

HERE TO HELP POLICY-MAKERS

UNDERSTAND WHY THIS IS

GOOD FOR CONSUMERS.

Reporter: MAJOR BANKS

HAVE ENTERED THIS NEW

REALITY.

YOU SEE BANKS ALL

ACROSS THE SPECTRUM

INVESTING IN THINGS LIKE

INNOVATION LABS.

Reporter: WHILE BANKS

ARE COMPETING IN THIS

SPACE, THEY FACE AN UPHILL

BATTLE.

ACCORDING TO THE HARRIS

RESEARCH FIRM, 77% OF

CONSUMERS HAVE A POSITIVE

IMPRESSION OF THE TECH

INDUSTRY, COMPARED TO 35%

WHO FEEL GOOD ABOUT THE

FINANCIAL INDUSTRY.

WE SEE A LOT OF

PARTNERSHIPS.

IT COULD BE CHARACTERIZED

AS A BATTLE BETWEEN WALL

STREET AND SILICON VALLEY.

BUT WE SEE A LOT MORE

NUANCE AT THE END OF THE

DAY.

WE'LL HAVE A GREAT ROBUST

DISCUSSION ABOUT HOW TO

ENABLE THIS TECHNOLOGICAL

FUTURE.

Reporter: THE TECH

INDUSTRY WANTS BREATHING

ROOM FOR YOUNG START-UPS,

WHILE THE BANKING INDUSTRY

BELIEVES ITS NEW

COMPETITOR SHOULD FOLLOW

THE SAME RULES THAT IT

DOES.

TODAY THERE ARE A LOT

OF RULES AND REGULATIONS

IN PLACE THAT PROVIDE

PROTECTIONS FOR CONSUMERS.

YOU NEED TO MAKE SURE

THOSE PROTECTIONS ARE

BEING APPLIED EQUALLY

ACROSS THE BOARD.

WE'RE HOPING THAT

POLICY-MAKERS CAN FIND

WAYS TO MINIMIZE SOME OF

THE EARLY REGULATORY

IMPACT THAT THEY MAY FACE

SO THEY CAN AT LEAST GET

OFF THE GROUND, PROVE

THEIR BUSINESS MODEL, AND

ACTUALLY BRING SOMETHING

TO MARKET.

Reporter: SECURITY IS

A MAJOR CONCERN OF

CONSUMERS WHEN IT COMES TO

THESE NEW DIGITAL

FINANCIAL SERVICES.

BUT PETERS SAYS YOUR CELL

PHONE WILL EVENTUALLY

PROVIDE BETTER PROTECTION

OF YOUR INFORMATION THAN A

DEBIT OR CREDIT CARD.

WHEN YOU THINK ABOUT

MAKING A PAYMENT OR

STORING FINANCIAL

INFORMATION ON YOUR SMART

PHONE, THAT SMART PHONE IS

IN CRYPTED IN A VARIETY OF

WAYS.

YOU HAVE TO USE BIOMETRIC

FINGER PRESENT.

AND YOU HAVE NOW BOTH

GREATER CONVENIENCE AND

GREATER SECURITY.

THAT DIDN'T EXIST BEFORE.

Reporter: SOME OF THE

MORE POPULAR SERVICES

INCLUDE VENMO, GOOGLE

WALLET, AND APPLE PAY.

THEY ALLOW YOU TO TRANSFER

MONEY OR BUY PRODUCTS

WITHOUT STEPPING INTO A

BANK OR PULLING OUT YOUR

CREDIT CARD.

THIS ESPECIALLY APPEALS TO

THE MILLENNIAL GENERATION.

76% OF MILLENNIALS PREFER

USING DIGITAL THAN GOING

TO A BANK.

I USE MY BANK OF

AMERICA APP, AND

EVERYTHING CAN BE DONE ON

MY PHONE, WHICH IS GREAT.

MY BANK DOESN'T HAVE

ANY PHYSICAL LOCATION.

Reporter: BUT IT IS

NOT MILLENNIALS WHO STAND

TO GAIN THE MOST FROM THIS

TECHNOLOGY.

THERE IS A PROPORTION

PROPORTIONALLY BIGGER

OPPORTUNITY TO HELP OLDER

PEOPLE BECAUSE IF YOU

CAN'T GET OUT OF THE

HOUSE, MANAGING YOUR

FINANCES CAN BE TOUGH.

Reporter: I RECENTLY

GOT MY GRANDFATHER HOOKED

ON TAKING CARE OF SOME OF

HIS FINANCES DIGITALLY.

HI.

Reporter: I SET YOU

UP WITH NEW WAYS TO DO

YOUR BANKING.

WHY WERE YOU INTERESTED IN

DOING YOUR BANKING

DIGITALLY?

WELL, IT SEEMED TO BE

CONVENIENT AND FAST.

ALSO, IT SEEMED TO BE

CHEAP.

NO STAMPS, NO ENVELOPES.

AND THE SECURITY WAS GOOD

BECAUSE IT HAS TWO

PASSWORDS.

ONE TO GET INTO THE

SMARTPHONE AND ONE TO GET

INTO THE ACCOUNT.

AND THEY ALL PROVED OUT,

TOO.

I FIND OUT ALL OF THE TIME

THERE ARE NEW THINGS I CAN

APPLY AND PLAY WITH.

IT IS FUN AND INTERESTING.

Reporter: DESPITE

BATTLES ON CAPITOL HILL,

BOTH THE BANKS AND TECH

INDUSTRY AGREE THAT

ULTIMATELY THE CONSUMER

WILL BE THE WINNER.

CAITLIN BURKE, CBN NEWS,

WASHINGTON.

Efrem: LET'S HOPE IT

SAVES TIME AS WELL AS

SAVING YOU SOME MONEY.

> STAY WITH US, THERE IS

MUCH MORE OF CBN

"NEWSWATCH" STRAIGHT

AHEAD.

Efrem: SADIE

ROBERTSON IS NO STRANGER

TO THE PO SPOTLIGHT EVEN

AFTER "DUCK DYNASTY'S"

CONCLUSION.

SHE IS SET TO GO ON A TOUR

OF 16 CITIES THIS FALL.

I SAT DOWN AND TALKED WITH

THE RISING STAR ABOUT HER

"LIVE ORIGINAL" TOUR.

YOU'VE GOT YOUR OWN TOUR

COMING UP.

TELL ME ABOUT THAT.

"LIVE OH, ORIGINAL" IS A

TOUR I STARTED.

WE DID 16 CITIES, I

BELIEVE, AND IT WAS REALLY

AWESOME.

IT WAS SO FUN.

I'M PLANNING ON DOING THAT

AGAIN THIS FALL.

I WANTED TO GO AND MEET

PEOPLE AND, LIKE, SEE WHO

THEY REALLY ARE.

THAT'S THE PURPOSE OF THE

TORETOUR, IS TO GO MEET THEM.

Efrem: HOW DO YOU

PREPARE FOR THIS?

PRAYER, LOTS AND LOTS

OF PRAYER.

I ASK GOOD TO BREATHE

THROUGH ME AND SEE THROUGH

ME.

HE ALWAYS DELIVERS.

HE IS VERY FAITHFUL.

HE IS NOT GOING TO PUT YOU

UP ON A STAGE AND THEN

TANK.

HE IS GOING TO BE THERE TO

CATCH YOU.

FOR ME, IT WAS A MATTER OF

JUMPING.

IT WAS A MATTER OF GOING

AND GETTING ON THE STAGE

BECAUSE IT WAS SCARY AND

IT IS SCARY.

BUT FOR SUCH A TIME AS

THIS, GOD HAS ME UP THERE

AND HE HELPS ME OUT A LOT.

Efrem: YOU ARE ONLY

19, AND TO BE 19 AND

FILLED WITH SUCH WISDOM,

WHERE DOES THAT COME FROM?

MY FAMILY POURS INTO ME

SO MUCH.

HAVING PEOPLE IN MY LIFE

WHERE THEY DON'T JUST

PREACH IT, BUT THEY

PRACTICE IT, TOO.

WHO THEY ARE ON STAGE IS

EXACTLY WHO THEY ARE OFF

STAGE AND BEHIND THE

CAMERAS.

AND SEEING THAT HAS HELPED

ME A WHOLE LOT.

Efrem: WHAT ARE YOU

DREAMING ABOUT?

WHAT ARE YOU WORKING

TOWARDS?

GOOD QUESTION.

MORE DEVOTIONALS AND GOING

OUT AND MEETING PEOPLE.

TV WORLD IS REALLY COOL

AND AWESOME, BUT I JUST

HAVE A HUGE PASSION FOR

GOING OUT INTO THE STREETS

AND MEETING PEOPLE THAT

WAY.

Efrem: AND YOU'VE GOT

A DEVOTIONAL OUT NOW AS

WELL?

YEAH, I DO.

THE ORIGINAL DEVOTIONAL.

Efrem: THANK YOU SO

MUCH.

IT IS A PLEASURE HAVING

YOU.

THANK YOU.

Efrem: TODAY I'M

GRATEFUL FOR PROBLEMS.

CONSIDER THIS: THE

PROBLEMS WE FACE ARE

DESIGNED SPECIFICALLY FOR

US.

THEY'RE MEANT TO INSPIRE

OUR GROWTH TO THE BETTER

THINGS AHEAD.

WITH THAT WORD, BE SURE TO

MAKE THIS A THANKFUL

THURSDAY.
