Wendy: TODAY...

THERE IS AN INDUSTRY

THAT IS PAID TO GO AFTER

JOURNALISTS.

Wendy: THE CBS

REPORTER WHO WAS SMEARED

BY THE MACHINE.

SHARYL ATTKISSON REVEALS

THE PEOPLE WHO CONTROL

YOUR NEWS FEED.

> THEN, A BIG-TIME CRACK

DEALER WHO WENT FROM

RULING THE STREETS TO

LIVING ON THEM.

ONCE THOSE DRUGS START

TO TAKE OVER, YOU START

LOSING EVERYTHING.

Wendy: PLUS, NICOLE

C.MULLEN JOINS US LIVE ON

TODAY'S "700 CLUB."

Terry: HELLO,

EVERYONE.

WELCOME TO "THE 700 CLUB."

WELL, IF YOU WEREN'T HERE

YESTERDAY, BEFORE WE GET

INTO THE NEWS TODAY, I

JUST WANT TO MENTION THAT

I'M HERE ALONE BECAUSE MY

DEAR FRIEND AND CO-HOST,

DR. PAT, HAS TAKEN A SPILL

FROM HIS HORSE, THE HORSE

THAT HE RIDES REGULARLY,

AND IS PASSIONATE ABOUT,

THREW HIM BECAUSE OF A

RABBIT THAT MADE AN

INAPPROPRIATE APPEARANCE

AT THE WRONG TIME.

AND SO PAT IS RECOVERING

FROM SOME INJURIES HAVE

HIM DOWN FOR A LITTLE

WHILE.

I KNOW THIS MAN, HE WILL

BE BACK IN SHORT ORDER.

HE IS ALREADY HEALING.

BUT DO KEEP HIM IN YOUR

PRAYERS.

HE LOVES THAT HORSE.

AND WE'RE WANTING TO SEE

HIM BACK IN THE SADDLE

AGAIN SOON.

> IN THE NEWS TODAY,

NORTH KOREA HAS BACKED

DOWN FROM ITS THREAT TO

ATTACK THE AMERICAN

TERRITORY OF GUAM.

PRESIDENT TRUMP HAD

PROMISED A RESPONSE OF

FIRE AND FURY IF THE NORTH

ATTACKED THAT ISLAND, BUT

NOW THE NORTH KOREANS SAY

THEY'RE GOING TO HOLD OFF.

DALE HURD BRINGS US THIS

STORY.

Reporter: IT APPEARS

THAT KIM JONG-UN HAS

BLINKED FIRST.

NORTH KOREAN MEDIA REPORTS

KIM HAS DECIDED NOT TO

LAUNCH A MISSILE ATTACK ON

GUAM.

BUT THE STATEMENT ALSO

WARNS THAT THE COMMUNIST

DICTATOR MIGHT CHANGE HIS

MIND IF, QUOTE, "THE

YANKEES PERSIST IN THEIR

EXTREMELY DANGEROUS,

RECKLESS ACTIONS."

IT WAS WELCOME NEWS TO THE

OFFICIALS ON GUAM.

WHAT IS HAPPENING THE

RHETORIC IS STARTING TO

CALM DOWN FROM KIM JONG-UN

IN NOT AT LEAST PURSUING

AT THE MOMENT HIS THREATS

TO FIRE MISSILES AT GUAM.

Reporter: BUT AT THE

SAME TIME, PYONGYANG SAID

NORTH KOREA'S MILITARY ON

TUESDAY STILL PRESENTED

KIM JONG-UN WITH PLANS TO

LAUNCH MISSILES INTO

WATERS NEAR GUAM AND,

QUOTE, "RING THE WIND

PIPES OF THE U.S.

YANKEES."

I'VE HEARD FOLKS

TALKING ABOUT WE'RE BEING

ON THE CUSP OF A NUCLEAR

WAR.

IT SEEMS NO INTELLIGENCE

WOULD INDICATE WE'RE IN

THAT PLACE TODAY.

Reporter: STILL,

PRESIDENT TRUMP HAD WARNED

THE NORTH THAT THE U.S.

MILITARY WAS LOCKED AND

LOADED, AND THE CHAIRMAN

OF THE JOINT CHIEFS SAYS

HIS FORCES ARE READY.

I CAN TELL YOU THERE

ARE TWO THINGS THAT WE'RE

CLEAR ABOUT.

ONE, OUR RESPONSIBILITY TO

DEFEND AGAINST AN ATTACK.

AND, TWO, OUR REQUIREMENT

TO MAKE SURE THAT WE HAVE

DECISIVE RESPONSE IN THE

EVENT OF AN ATTACK.

Reporter: AND DEFENSE

SECRETARY JAMES MATTIS

WARNED ON MONDAY IF NORTH

KOREA FIRED A MISSILE AT

THE U.S., IT COULD

ESCALATE INTO WAR VERY

QUICKLY.

EXPERTS SAY THE NORTH

COULD BE LOOKING FOR A

CONCESSION, SUCH AS A

CANCELLATION OF PLANNED

U.S.-SOUTH KOREAN MILITARY

DRILLS SET TO BEGIN ON

MONDAY, WHICH THE NORTH

CLAIMS ARE REHEARSALS FOR

INVASION.

IT SHOULD BE NOTED THAT

NORTH KOREA BACKED AWAY

FROM ITS THREAT HOURS

AFTER ITS ALLY, CHINA,

ANNOUNCED IT WOULD GET ON

BOARD WITH U.S. SANCTIONS

AND BAN IMPORTS OF NORTH

KOREAN COAL, IRON AND

SEAFOOD STARTING TODAY.

DALE HURD, CBN NEWS.

Terry: THANK YOU,

DALE.

THAT'S IS CERTAINLY A

HOPED FOR OUTCOME, AND WE

ALL REJOICE IN THAT.

> HERE AT HOME, THE MAN

WHO DROVE A CAR INTO A

CROWD IN CHARLOTTESVILLE

ON FRIDAY COULD BE FACING

FEDERAL CHARGES.

JOHN JESSUP HAS THAT

STORY.

John: OTHERS COULD

SOON BE FACING FEDERAL

CHARGES, TOO.

AS NATIONAL SECURITY

CORRESPONDENT ERIC

GONZALES REPORTS, THE U.S.

ATTORNEY-GENERAL'S IS

INVESTIGATING THE CASE,S

PRESIDENT TRUMP MADE A

STRONG STATEMENT AGAINST

WHITE SUPREMACIST GROUPS.

Reporter: SOME 48

HOURS AFTER A MAN PLOWED

HIS CAR INTO A CROWD OF

COUNTERPROTESTORS AT A

WHITE SUPREMACIST RALLY IN

VIRGINIA, PRESIDENT TRUMP

CALLED OUT THE HATE GROUPS

FROM THE WHITE HOUSE.

President Trump:

THOSE WHO CAUSE VIOLENCE

IN ITS NAMES ARE CRIMINALS

AND THUGS, INCLUDING THE

K.K.K., NEO NAZIS, WHITE

SUPREMACISTS, AND OTHER

HATE GROUPS THAT ARE

REPUGNANT TO EVERYTHING WE

HOLD DEAR AS AMERICANS.

Reporter: THE

PRESIDENT'S STATEMENTS

CAME AFTER CRITICISM FROM

BOTH SIDES OF THE AISLE

FOR NOT BEING STRONG

ENOUGH ON SATURDAY IN HIS

FIRST RESPONSE TO THE

VIOLENCE.

BUT AFTER MEETING WITH THE

ATTORNEY-GENERAL AND THE

F.B.I. DIRECTOR ON MONDAY,

THE PRESIDENT IS PROMISING

JUSTICE.

A CIVIL RIGHTS

INVESTIGATION IS UNDER

WAY, AND COULD BRING

FEDERAL CHARGES AGAINST

20-YEAR-OLD JAMES ALEX

FIELDS, JR., WHO POLICE

SAY WAS BEHIND THE WHEEL

OF THAT DODGE CHALLENGER.

JEFF SESSIONS CALLS THE

ATTACK EVIL AND ADDS IT

MEETS THE DEFINITION OF

DOMESTIC TERRORISM.

WE'RE PURSUING IT WITH

THE DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE

IN EVERY WAY THAT WE CAN

MAKE IT, MAKE A CASE.

YOU CAN BE SURE THAT WE

WILL BE CHARGE AND ADVANCE

THE INVESTIGATION TOWARDS

THE MOST SERIOUS CHARGES

THAT CAN BE BROUGHT

BECAUSE THIS IS AN

UNEQUIVOCABLY UNACCEPTABLE

AND EVIL ATTACK.

Reporter: THOSE WHO

HAVE KNOWN FIELDS SAY THEY

ARE NOT SURPRISED.

HE WAS VOCAL ABOUT HIS

IDEAS.

HE PROCLAIMED HIMSELF AS A

NAZI AND AS A WHITE

SUPREMACIST.

IT WASN'T A SECRET.

HEATHER, MY DARLING

CHILD, WHO WAS TAKEN FROM

ME.

Reporter: SUES BRO, SUSANNE

BRO, THE MOTHER OF HEATHER

HEYER, KILLED IN THE

ATTACK, SAYS SHE IS GOING

TO MAKE HER DAUGHTER'S

DEATH WORTH SOMETHING.

I'M EXTREMELY PROUD OF

MY DAUGHTER.

I'M EXTREMELY PROUD THAT

SHE STOOD FOR WHAT SHE

BELIEVED IN.

THAT SHE NOT ONLY GAVE

MOUTH TO IT, BUT SHE GAVE

HEART TO IT, SOUL TO IT,

AND NOW SHE HAS GIVEN HER

LIFE TO IT.

Reporter: PEOPLE

BROUGHT FLOWERS AND WROTE

MESSAGES OF HOPE.

ERIC GONZALES, CBN NEWS,

WASHINGTON.

John: THANKS, ERIC.

> IT IS A NEW MEDICAL

BREAKTHROUGH SO

CONTROVERSIAL THAT IT IS

SEEN AS BOTH AN ANSWER TO

PRAYER AND A PER VACATION PU PER VACATION

OF HUMAN RIGHTS.

Lorie: MANY OF US

KNOW SOMEONE WHO INHERITED

A GENE THAT CAUSED THEM TO

GET A TERRIBLE DISEASE,

LIKE ALZHEIMER'S OR

CANCER.

NOW SCIENTISTS SAY THEY

DEVELOPED A TECHNIQUE TO

GET RID OF THOSE PROPER

GENES AND THEREFORE THE

DISEASES THEY CAUSE.

IT IS CALLED "GENE

EDITING."

SCIENTISTS REMOVE THE BAD

GENE AND REPLACE IT WITH A

HEALTHY ONE.

THEY DID THIS IN AN OREGON

LAB BY REPLACING A GENE IN

A HUMAN EMBRYO THAT CAUSED

A POTENTIALLY DEADLY HEART

CONDITION.

THE EMBRYO WAS LATER

DESTROYED.

SCIENTISTS SAY GENE

EDITING WILL ALLOW THEM TO

PREVENT A WHOLE HOST OF

OTHER INHERITED DISEASES,

BUT SOME DON'T LIKE THE

WAY THE PROCESS IS BEING

TESTED.

THE CONCERN HERE IS

THAT WHAT THEY DID WAS

EFFECTIVELY KILL THE

NUMBER OF EMBRYOS IN ORDER

TO GET THE GENETIC CHANGE

THAT THEY WANT.

WE BELIEVE THAT COULD HAVE

BEEN DONE LATER IN THE

PROCESS TO ACTUALLY TREAT

THE UNBORN CHILD OR THE

CHILD OF THAT DISEASE.

Lorie: ANOTHER WORRY

IS THAT THIS COULD LEAD TO

THE CREATION OF SO-CALLED

DESIGNER BABIES, WHERE

SCIENTISTS ALTER AN

EMBRYO'S GENETICS, NOT TO

SAVE A LIFE OR PREVENT A

DISEASE, BUT TO MAKE THE

PERSON BETTER LOOKING,

BETTER IN SPORTS AND

SCHOOL.

THROUGH THIS

TECHNOLOGY, WE'RE TALKING

ABOUT ALTERING LIFE AND

ALTERING THE GERM LINE

HEREDITY OF PEOPLE.

IT CREATES A LOT OF

CONCERNS FOR US AND A LOT

OF OTHER PEOPLE.

Lorie: MANY IN THE

SCIENTIFIC COMMUNITY SHARE

THAT CONCERN.

SCIENTISTS WHO GATHERED

FROM AROUND THE WORLD IN

WASHINGTON, D.C. LAST YEAR

SAID GENE EDITING SHOULD

ONLY BE USED TO SAVE LIVES

AND ALLEVIATE SUFFERING.

PEOPLE START TALKING

ABOUT EYE COLOR AND HAIR

COLOR AND THINGS LIKE

MEMORY ENHANCEMENT OR

MUSCLE MASS AND THINGS

LIKE THAT, AND I THINK WE

REALLY NEED TO BE CAREFUL

ABOUT THAT.

QUITE FRANKLY, SOME OF

THAT INVOLVES VERY, VERY

COMPLICATED SCIENCE IN

TERMS OF THE NUMBER OF

GENES YOU WOULD HAVE TO

MANIPULATE, AND AT LEAST

FOR NOW, THAT'S NOT THE

GAME.

IT IS DIFFICULT TO

PREVENT THOSE EXPERIMENTS

FROM HAPPENING, BUT THE

COMMUNITY HAS SET CLEAR

GUIDELINES ABOUT WHAT

WOULD BE AN ACCEPTABLE

EXPERIMENT AND WHAT WOULD

BE AN UNACCEPTABLE

EXPERIMENT.

Lorie: SO WHILE GENE

EEDITING IS STILL IN ITS IN

FANCY, NOW MAY BE THE

IDEAL TIME TO DISCUSS ALL

OF THE POSSIBLE

CONSEQUENCES OF THIS NEW

TECHNOLOGY, AS WELL AS

WAYS TO CONTROL IT.

LORIE JOHNSON, CBN NEWS.

John: THANKS, LORIE.

THIS ALL SEEMS TO BOIL

DOWN TO MAKING SURE THAT

THIS TECHNOLOGY IS

CONTROLLED AND ONLY USED

IN THE RIGHT

CIRCUMSTANCES.

Terry: BOY, JOHN,

TALK ABOUT A WHOLE NEW

FRONTIER.

I THINK LORIE HAS HIT THE

NAIL ON THE HEAD.

IT IS THE TIME TO DISCUSS

ALL OF THE REPUR CUSSIONSPERCUSSIONS

AND RAMIFICATIONS OF THIS

IS NOW BEFORE WE MOVE

FORWARD.

A GREAT REPORT.

IT COULD HOLD A LOT OF

PROMISE, BUT CERTAINLY A

LOT OF CHALLENGES.

> STILL AHEAD, WE'VE GOT

A FRONT-ROW SEAT FOR A

PERFORMANCE FROM NICOLE C.

MULLEN.

FIRST, AN INVESTIGATIVE

REPORTER BLOWS THE LID OFF

THE NEWS MEDIA ITSELF.

IT GAVE ME CHILLS WHEN

SHE SAID, EVERYTHING YOU

SEE WAS PUT THERE FOR A

REASON.

Terry: SHARYL

ATTKISSON REVEALS HOW

INFORMATION HAS BEEN

CORRUPTED BY SPECIAL

INTERESTS, AND THAT'S

NEXT.

Terry: WELL, AS MOST

AMERICANS KNOW, YOU CAN'T

ALWAYS TRUST THE STORIES

YOU HEAR IN THE NEWS,

ESPECIALLY POLITICAL

STORIES.

AWARD-WINNING REPORTER

SHARYL ATTKISSON EXPLAINS

SOME OF THE REASONS WHY IN

HER FASCINATING NEW BOOK

"THE SMEAR."

SHE SAT DOWN WITH OUR

JENNA BROWDER TO EXPLAIN

WHAT THE "SMEAR MACHINE"

AND HOW IT OPERATES.

Reporter: BEHIND MANY

POLITICAL STORIES LURKS A

HIDDEN AGENDA.

IT IS EXPOSED BY SHARYL

ATTKISSON IN HER LATEST

BOOK.

AND AS A JOURNALIST WITH

MORE THAN 30 YEARS

EXPERIENCE, SHE HAS THE

STORIES TO BACK IT UP.

"THE SMEAR," WHY THE

TITLE?

I THINK IT ENCAPSULATES

THIS TREND THAT IS

HAPPENING IN WASHINGTON,

D.C. THAT HAS AN IMPACT

REALLY ALL OVER THE WORLD.

Reporter: IN OUR

ONE-ON-ONE, THE

HARD-HITTING INVESTIGATIVE

JOURNALIST TOLD ME THE

ULTIMATE GOAL IS CONTROL.

THERE IS AN INDUSTRY

THAT IS PAID TO GO AFTER

AND TARGET JOURNALISTS,

WHISTLE-BLOWERS, POLITICAL

FIGURES, WHATEVER IT MAY

BE, AND INUNDATE OUR

CONSCIOUSNESS WITH THE

IMAGES WE SEE TO TRY TO

RUIN, DESTROY, OR SMEAR

THE IDEA THEY DON'T LIKE

OR THE PERSON WHO IS

DELIVERING IT ON BEHALF OF

PAID CORPORATE AND

POLITICAL INTERESTS.

Reporter: IN HER

LATEST BOOK, SHE PULLS

BACK THE CURTAIN ON HOW

THEY WORK TO ESTABLISH

STORY LINES, MANIPULATE

JOURNALISTS, AND

ULTIMATELY SHAPE WHAT YOU

THINK.

ONE OF THE SMEAR

ARTISTS GAVE ME CHILLS

WHEN HE SAID, EVERYTHING

YOU SEE IS PUT THERE FOR A

REASON.

IT IS LIKE A SCENE IN A

MOVIE, AND THE IMAGES THAT

YOU COME ACROSS, WHETHER

IT IS WHAT A COMEDIAN

JOKES ABOUT ON A NATIONAL

PROGRAM OR WHETHER IT IS

SOCIAL MEDIA, IT IS PUT

THERE FOR A REASON, OFTEN

BY SOMEBODY WHO PAID A LOT

OF MONEY TO PUT IT THERE.

Reporter: SHE POINTS

TO THIS LAST ELECTION AS

AN EXAMPLE OF THE SMEAR

MACHINE OPERATING AT FULL

SPEED.

IN 2016, GOING IN THAT

RACE, ALL SEEMED TO AGREE

THAT DEMOCRATS HAD

CONTROLLED THE MESSAGING.

PARTICULARLY WHEN IT CAME

TO YOU'VE THE NEWS MEDIA.

THE CONVERSATION WOULD

LIKE TO CONTROL THEM AS

MUCH, BUT THEY DON'T HAVE

AS MUCH OF A RECEPTIVE

EAR, SO THEY CAN'T DO IT

AS AFFECTIVELY.

THEY USED THEIR OWN

STATISTICS, FROM E-MAILS,

AND THESE GROUPS SAY HOW

THEY WERE ABLE TO

INFLUENCE A NARRATIVE.

THEY NAME NAMES AND TALK

ABOUT THE NEWS

PUBLICATIONS AND NETWORKS

THAT PUBLISHED THE STORIES

THEY WANTED THEM TO

PUBLISH.

IT WAS SHOWING WHAT I

CALLED TRANSACTIONAL

JOURNALISM, WHERE THEY'RE

MAKING DEALS WITH THE NEWS

MAKERS TO COVER THINGS A

CERTAIN WAY.

Reporter: ALTHOUGH

DEMOCRATS MAY HAVE BEEN

MORE AFFECTIVE,

REPUBLICANS ULTIMATELY

WON.

SHARYL ATTKISSON SAYS THIS

COULD BE BECAUSE VOTERS

ARE BECOMING MORE MEDIA

SAVVY.

ARE PEOPLE GETTING WISER

TO THESE TECHNIQUES?

IT IS FAIR TO SAY 90%

OF THE NEWS WAS IN ONE

DIRECTION, AND YET

PRESIDENT TRUMP HAD

MANAGED TO OVERCOME WHAT

THIS HUGE MACHINE HAD

BUILT AGAINST HIM TO

BECOME PRESIDENT.

Reporter: PRESIDENT

TRUMP SAYS THAT THIS

RUSSIAN PROBE IS A

POLITICAL WITCH HUNT.

YOU HAVE JAMES COMEY WHO

ADMITTED TO LEAKING

DOCUMENTS TO SPUR ON THIS

SPECIAL COUNSEL.

AND THIS SPECIAL COUNSEL

IS ROBERT MUELLER, WHO ONE

OF HIS FRIENDS, AND THEN

HE HIRES FRIENDS OF THE

CLINTONS.

IS PRESIDENT TRUMP ON TO

SOMETHING?

IS THIS IS A POLITICAL

WITCH HUNT?

YES, HE IS ON TO

SOMETHING.

PRESIDENT TRUMP IS CORRECT

WHEN SHE SAYS THIS IS A

WITCH HUNT IN SOME

RESPECT.

BASED ON THE EVIDENCE

TODAY AND BASED ON OBAMA'S

OWN INTEL EXPERTS WHO DID

NOT SEE ANY EVIDENCE OF

CONCLUSION WITH THE

RUSSIANS, AND DEMOCRATS

AND REPUBLICANS ALIKE, WHO

HAVEN'T SEEN THE

CONNECTION, AND YET YOU

HAVE SEEN IT DOMINATE THE

NEWS NARRATIVE.

I CALL IT LIKE THE BRAD

DEBUNCH MARSHA, MARSHA,

MARSHA, YOU JUST HEAR

RUSSIA, RUSSIA, RUSSIA.

AND IN SOME CASES, THEY

HAVEN'T EVEN CORRECTED IT

OR DONE M MEA CULPA'S WHEN

THEY FOUND IT TO BE FALSE.

THE COVERAGE IS SO WIDELY

DISPROPORTIONATE TO THE

EVIDENCE AT LARGE.

Reporter: WHETHER IT

IS RUSSIA COVERAGE OR ANY

OTHER STORIES, SHARYL SAYS

TO STEP BACK AND ASK A

QUESTION.

AND WHEN IT COMES TO

SO-CALLED EXPERTS -- ARE

FACT CHECKERS REALLY

TRUSTWORTHY?

I QUOTE SOME SURVEYS

AND RESEARCH THAT HAS BEEN

DONE ON THIS, INDEED THE

FACT CHECKERS, WHO HOLD

THEMSELVES OUT TO BE

INDEPENDENT -- IT TURNS

OUT THEY'RE NOT SO

INDEPENDENT IN MANY CASES.

TAKE SNOPES, FOR EXAMPLE,

WE FOUND AREAS WHERE THEY

PUT OUT INCORRECT,

MISLEADING, BIAS OR EVEN

FALSE INFORMATION.

Reporter: A BIG ONE

TO WATCH OUT FOR IS A

SOURCE MANY OF US KNOW

WELL.

YOU LOOK AT WIKAPEDIA

FOR THE FACTS, BUT THEY

DON'T KNOW THE EXTENT TO

WHICH CORPORATE INTERESTS

IN BIG P.R. FIRMS.

PRETEND

TO BE EDITORS TO CONTROL

THE PAGES OF CERTAIN

TOPICS, AND SO THAT

THEY'RE FURTHERING CERTAIN

IDEAS OF PAID INTERESTS

THAT YOU DON'T KNOW ABOUT.

Reporter: IF THERE IS

ONE THING SHE WANTS YOU TO

LEARN FROM HER BOOK IS

THIS...

NEARLY EVERY IMAGE THAT

IS PUT BEFORE THEM IS PUT

BEFORE THEM FOR A REASON

BY AN INTEREST THAT IS

OFTEN NOT DISCLOSED.

THAT SHOULD MAKE YOU

QUESTION, WHEN YOU SEE

THEMES AND NEEDS COMING UP

ON SOCIAL MEDIA AND COMMON

IDEAS EXPRESSED OVER AND

OVER AGAIN -- IT SHOULD

MAKE YOU QUESTION, WHO IS

BEHIND IT?

WHO WANTS ME TO THINK THIS

WAY?

Reporter: AND WHAT IS

THRITHEIR AGENDA.

SHE SAYS ASKING QUESTIONS

DOESN'T NECESSARILY MEAN

THE STORY IS FALSE, BUT IT

IS IMPORTANT TO KNOW

YOU'RE GETTING THE WHOLE

STORY.

FOR CBN NEWS, I'M JENNA

BROWDER.

Terry: IT IS

UNBELIEVABLE, ISN'T IT?

IT GIVES NEW MEANING TO

THE TERM "DRAIN THE

SWAMP."

BUT THE PROBLEM IS WE'RE

FINDING THAT THE SWAMP IS

SO WIDE AND SO DEEP, WE'RE

NOT SURE IT IS DRAINABLE.

I THINK SHE JUST GAVE US A

WISE COUNSEL.

SHE SAYS, IT IS NOT A

MATTER OF WHETHER

SOMETHING IS TRUE OR THE

NOT.

YOU HAVE TO ASK YOURSELF,

WHY DOES SOMEBODY WANT ME

TO BELIEVE THIS, AND WHAT

IS MY ROLE IN THE WHOLE

THING.

SHARYL ATTKISSON, "THE

SMEAR," HOW FAKE NEWS

CONTROLS WHAT YOU SEE,

WHAT YOU THINK, AND HOW

YOU VOTE.

IT IS A BOOK WORTH

READING, AMERICA.

> WELL, COMING UP, HE

WAS A TOUGH GUY BY TRADE,

AND HE IS BACK TO MUSCLE

HIS WAY INTO THE TOP DRUG

CARTELS.

I CARRIED BIG GUNS,

NASTY BULLETS.

I LIVED TO FIGHT.

I COULD TELL THE

DIFFERENCE, HOW PEOPLE

LOOKED AT ME.

Terry: SEE HOW HIS

LIFE CHANGED AFTER A TRIP

TO A PHONE BOOTH.

THAT'S NEXT.

Terry: NICK USED TO

WORK WITH SOME OF THE TOP

DRUG RUNNERS IN THE

COUNTRY.

THERE HE LEARNED THE FINE

ARTS OF HUSTLING,

SCHEMING, SCAMMING, AND

STEALING.

ANYONE WHO TRIED TO CROSS

MITCH HAD TO CONTEND WITH

HIS IMPOSING 6' 7" FRAME.

HE WAS A FEARLESS FORCE IN

THE UNDERWORLD UNTIL ONE

SMALL BOOKLET SCARED HIM

STRAIGHT.

I MADE A LIVING FROM

ANGER.

PAID BODYGUARD OR PAID

STRONG ARM.

Reporter: THERE WERE

FEW WHO WOULD CROSS MITCH,

WHO NOW STANDS AT 6' 7."

DIFFERENT FROM WHEN HE WAS

ONE OF THE SMALLEST KIDS

IN SCHOOL.

PEOPLE GOT BULLIED, AND

I WAS ONE OF THEM.

I GOT BULLIED A LOT.

IT WASN'T FAIR AND IT

UPSET ME, AND THERE WASN'T

MUCH I COULD DO.

Reporter: AT HOME IT

WAS HIS STEPFATHER WHO

DISHED OUT THE ABUSE.

THERE WAS A CLOSENESS

BETWEEN HIM AND MY SISTER.

AND I WAS MORE ON THE

OUTSIDE.

AND I DIDN'T LIKE IT.

THERE WAS SOME TIMES THAT

I GOT BEAT PRETTY BAD.

Reporter: MITCH

BECAME ANGRY AND BITTER,

FEELING LIKE HE DIDN'T

BELONG ANYWHERE.

I WAS PRETTY LONELY IN

LIFE, JUST WONDERING,

WHAT'S IT ALL ABOUT.

Reporter: AT 13,

MITCH FOUND DRINKING AND

SMOKING POT HELPED TAKE

THE EDGE OFF HIS GROWING

ANGER.

I LIKED IT.

IT JUST TOOK ME IN KIND OF

A FUZZY-GOOD FEELING

PLACE.

IT WAS A GOOD TIME.

Reporter: IN HIGH

SCHOOL, THE TABLES TURNED.

HE HAD GROWN INTO A TOWER,

IMPOSING FIGURE WITH A

SCORE TO SETTLE.

I LIVED TO FIGHT.

I COULD TELL THE

DIFFERENCE, HOW PEOPLE

LOOKED AT ME.

IT WAS DIFFERENT.

WHEN THEY USED TO LOOK

DOWN ON ME, COMPARED TO

NOW, WHEN THEY LOOKED UP

AT ME.

AND I LIKED THAT.

Reporter: AFTER HIGH

SCHOOL, HE FOUND OTHER

WAYS TO VENT HIS ANGER.

THE ANGER GOT TO A

POINT WHERE THE LIFE THAT

I HAD NOW STARTED -- I WAS

ABLE TO MAKE A LIVING WITH

IT.

ANGER, HATE, WRATH ENDED

UP BECOMING A PAID

FIGHTER, PAID STRONG-ARM.

TRAVELLED THE STRIP LIFE

CIRCUIT.

A DARK, DARK LIFE.

Reporter: THEN MITCH

STARTED MAKING, USING, AND

SELLING CRACK COCAINE.

HIS DEALINGS HERN EARNED HIM A

REPUTATION OF SOMEONE NOT

TO CROSS.

I ENDED UP RUNNING

DRUGS FOR CARTEL.

I CARRIED BIG GUNS.

I CARRIED NASTY BULLETS.

I LIVED IN CULTURES MOST

PEOPLE ONLY EVER READ

ABOUT.

Reporter: AND HE WAS

CAUGHT IN THE CYCLE OF

DRUG AND ALCOHOL

ADDICTION.

I HAD LOST ALMOST

EVERYTHING A COUPLE OF

TIMES.

YOU HAVE THINGS, MATERIAL

THINGS, AND EVEN THINGS OF

NECESSITY, BUT ONCE THOSE

DRUGS START TO TAKE OVER,

YOU START LOSING

EVERYTHING.

Reporter: THIS TIME

MITCH LOST EVERYTHING FOR

GOOD.

AFTER SEVERAL ARRESTS, HE

WOUND UP HOMELESS, LIVING

ON THE STREETS OF REDDING,

PENNSYLVANIA.

IT WAS THEN HE BEGAN

EXAMINING HIS LIFE.

JUST AIMLESSLY

WONDERING.

JUST GONE, THE ROUTINE.

IT IS A HORRIBLE

LIFESTYLE.

MISERY, TORTURE, FEAR,

DARKNESS, NOTHING GOOD.

YOU NEVER KNOW WHAT IS

GOING TO HAPPEN.

YOU'RE ALWAYS LOOKING OVER

YOUR SHOULDER.

IT'S JUST A LOST LIFE.

Reporter: ONE AFTER

MITCH STUMBLED INTO A

PHONE BOOTH TO CALL A

FRIEND.

THERE WAS A GOSPEL

TRACK IN IT.

IT SAID, HEAVEN AND HELL

ON IT.

AND I PICKED IT UP.

HEAVEN CERTAINLY SOUNDS

NICE.

THAT'S A NO-BRAINER.

BUT HELL IS A REALITY FOR

ANYBODY WHO DOESN'T KNOW

THE LORD JESUS CHRIST.

AND I DIDN'T.

AND IT BOTHERED ME.

IT BOTHERED ME GREATLY.

I PROBABLY HAD IT FOR A

YEAR.

I COULD NOT THROW IT AWAY.

IT JUST SEEMS GOD STARTED

DEALING WITH ME.

AND ANY TIME I SAW FLAMES

OR FIRE, IT JUST BOTHERS

ME.

I COULD NOT THINK ABOUT

HELL.

THE PENALTY OF HELL.

I MEAN, I JUST KNEW IT WAS

BAD.

FOR THE FIRST TIME IN MY

LIFE, I WAS GETTING

SCARED.

AND I WASN'T ONE TO GET

SCARED.

I WAS CRAZIER THAN CRAZY.

Reporter: MITCH

FILLED OUT THE FORM ON THE

BACK OF THE TRACT AND

MAILED IT IN.

USING HIS MOTHER'S

ADDRESS.

AFTER MOVING IN WITH HER,

MITCH GOT A CALL FROM A

LOCAL PASTOR.

HE CAME RIGHT OU AND OVER AND

TOLD ME ABOUT WHAT JESUS

CHRIST DID FOR ME.

HE SAID IF I REPENT AND

TURNED TO HIM, BELIEVING

IN HIM, AND CALL OUT, IT

WILL SAVE ME FROM MY SINS.

AND I COULD BE ADOPTED

INTO THE FAMILY OF GOD AND

RECEIVE A HOME IN HEAVEN

ONE DAY.

AND I LIKED THAT.

THAT'S WHAT I WAS LOOKING

FOR.

AND HE LED ME TO THE LORD.

Reporter: MITCH STILL

STRUGGLED FOR SEVERAL

MONTHS TO KICK HIS DRUG

ADDICTIONS, BUT ON

CHRISTMAS DAY, HOLD UP,

READY TO USE COCAINE, GOD

SPOKE TO HIM.

I HAD ALL OF THE DRUG

PARAPHERNALIA, AND I HAD A

LOT OF DARK STUFF, AND I

THOUGHT, THIS IS

DECEMBER 25th.

THIS IS THE LORD JESUS

CHRIST'S BIRTHDAY, MY

SAVIOR.

WHAT AM I DOING?

I FELT HORRIBLY ASHAMED.

I SAID, I'VE GOT TO COME

BACK.

AND I LEFT THE HOTEL ROOM.

I THREW EVERYTHING AWAY.

AND I HAVE BEEN CLEAN AND

SOBER, SAFE AND HAPPY,

WALKING WITH THE LORD

JESUS CHRIST NOW EVER

SINCE, AND THAT'S OVER 13

AND A HALF YEARS AGO.

Reporter: TODAY MITCH

IS AN EVANGELIST,

SPREADING THE GOOD NEWS OF

JESUS CHRIST.

I DON'T EVER WANT TO GO

BACK THERE.

I KNOW HOW MUCH I NEED THE

LORD JESUS CHRIST.

HE WILL KEEP ME CLEAN AND

SOBER.

THE SATISFACTION AND

CONTENTMENT IN MY HEART IS

AMAZING.

I LIVE FOR THAT.

I CRAVE THAT.

I LOVE THAT.

THE LORD FILLED THE VOID

THAT I COULD NEVER FILL.

JESUS CHRIST IS THE ONLY

ONE THAT DID IT.

Terry: YOU KNOW, WHEN

GOD BRINGS YOU FROM A DEEP

PIT OF DISPAIR AND

LOSTNESS, YOU DON'T FORGET

WHAT HE HAS BROUGHT YOU

FROM.

IN HIS LIFE EARLY ON,

MITCH WAS THE VICTIM OF

HOUSEHOLD SCENARIOS THAT

HE COULDN'T CONTROL.

BUT LATER ON HE WAS THE

VICTIM OF HIS OWN FOOLISH

CHOICES.

AND THAT'S THE WAY IT

OFTEN HAPPENS, ISN'T IT?

WHEN WE ALLOW SOMETHING

THAT HAS BEEN DONE TO US,

WE HAVE BITTERNESS AND

ANGER, AND WE HANG ON TO

THAT BECAUSE SOMETIMES WE

DON'T KNOW ANY BETTER.

AS A CHILD HE DIDN'T KNOW

WHERE TO GO WITH THAT.

BUT THEN IT BECOMES ADULT

BEHAVIOR.

AND THEN WE JUST GET STUCK

IN DOING WHAT WE HAVE

CHOSEN TO DO OVER AND OVER

AND OVER AGAIN.

UNTIL WE COME TO THE PLACE

WHERE YOU LOSE EVERYTHING.

YOU MIGHT HAVE SOME STUFF,

BUT STUFF DOESN'T MAKE YOU

HAPPY.

STUFF DOESN'T FILL THE

EMPTINESS INSIDE OF YOU.

STUFF DOESN'T SPEAK TO YOU

ABOUT YOUR FUTURE, ABOUT

ETERNITY.

IN OUR HEARTS, WE ALL KNOW

AT SOME POINT WHAT WE HAVE

HERE ENDS, AND THEN WHAT?

AND THEN WHAT?

YOU KNOW, I HOPE TODAY

THAT IN LISTENING TO

MITCH'S STORY THAT YOU

CONTEMPLATE IN YOUR OWN

LIFE, WHAT ABOUT MY

ETERNITY?

WHAT ABOUT THE CHOICES I'M

MAKING AND MY LIFE RIGHT

NOW?

THE BEST PART OF MITCH'S

STORY IS THE END OF IT.

IT IS THE FACT THAT ALONG

THE WAY GOD SPOKE TO HIM.

BUT IT WAS BECAUSE MITCH

STARTED TO THINK ABOUT THE

THINGS YOU AND I ARE

TALKING ABOUT RIGHT NOW.

HE STARTED TO THINK ABOUT

HIS LIFE AND HIS CHOICES.

HE STARTED TO THINK ABOUT

HEAVEN AND HELL, ETERNITY,

AND WHAT WAS GOING TO

HAPPEN TO HIM.

AND THEN HE FILLED OUT A

FORM BECAUSE HE REACHED

OUT FOR SOMEBODY TO HELP

HIM GET THERE FROM HERE.

LISTEN, YOU CAN DO THAT

RIGHT NOW, TODAY.

WE HAVE PEOPLE WAITING,

STANDING BY, TO TAKE YOUR

PHONE CALL, TO TALK WITH

YOU, TO PRAY WITH YOU, TO

SHARE GOD'S WORD WITH YOU.

MAYBE YOU'RE IN THAT LOST

PLACE IN YOUR OWN LIFE,

AND YOU KNOW THERE IS

SOMETHING MORE, BUT YOU

JUST DON'T KNOW HOW TO GET

THERE FROM HERE.

REACH OUT FOR HELP.

YOU HAVE A HEAVENLY FATHER

WHO CREATED YOU WITH A

PLAN AND A PURPOSE.

HIS WORD SAYS THERE IS

NOTHING YOU CAN DO, THERE

IS NO SIN YOU CAN ENTER

INTO, THERE IS NO DISTANCE

YOU CAN GO TO SEPARATE YOU

FROM THE LOVE OF GOD.

BUT YOUR OWN HEART CAN BY

CHOOSING TO SAY NO TO HIS

INVITATION TO KNOW HIM, TO

BE FORGIVEN BY HIM.

BUT WITHOUT THAT, YOU

CAN'T RECEIVE THE GIFT OF

FREEDOM.

THE GIFT OF A NEW LIFE.

THE GIFT OF ETERNITY WITH

HIM.

START THE PROCESS TODAY.

DON'T LET THINGS THAT

HAPPENED TO YOU AS A

CHILD, SOMETHING SOMEONE

ELSE HAS DONE TO YOU,

BITTERNESS OR ANGER OR

RESENTMENT THAT YOU KNOW

IS RESIDENT IN YOUR

HEART -- GET RID OF IT

TODAY.

YOU CAN HAVE A WHOLE NEW

BEGINNING.

TERRY WILL BE BACK WITH

MORE OF "THE 700 CLUB"

RIGHT AFTER THIS.

Terry: GROWING UP,

NICOLE C. MULLEN COULD

USUALLY BE FOUND WITH A

MICROPHONE IN HER HAND.

SHE ACTUALLY STARTED

SINGING WHEN SHE WAS TWO

YEARS OLD.

AND SHE HASN'T STOPPED.

Reporter: NICOLE HAS

A DISTINCTIVE SOUND AND

SONGWRITING ABILITY.

SHE IS BEST KNOWN FOR THE

HIT "REDEEMER," AND IS THE

FIRST AFRICAN-AMERICAN

ARTIST TO WIN DOVE AWARDS

FOR SONG AND SONGWRITER OF

THE YEAR.

NICOLE'S AWARD-WINNING

MUSIC TRANSCENDS CULTURE.

HER NEW ALBUM "LIKE NEVER

BEFORE," CONTINUES TO

BUILD ON THAT TRADITION.

Terry: WELL, PLEASE

WELCOME BACK TO "THE 700

CLUB" NICOLE C. MULLEN.

IT IS SO GREAT TO HAVE YOU

HERE.

IT IS SO GREAT TO BE

BACK.

Terry: WHEN I HEARD

YOU WERE COMING, I WAS

LIKE IN THE STUDIO?

SHE'S ACTUALLY HERE?

OH, THANK YOU.

Terry: PEOPLE KNOW

YOU FOR YOUR MUSIC BECAUSE

WE'VE ALL BEEN BLESSED BY

IT AND INSPIRED BY IT.

BUT YOU'VE DONE SOMETHING

IN ADDITION TO THAT THAT

IS MAKING A BIG

DIFFERENCE.

YOU'VE GOT GIRLS' CLUBS.

YES.

WE HAVE ONE IN FRANKLIN,

TENNESSEE, AND WE HAVE A

MODEL OF IT IN THE COUNTRY

OF BALESE WITH GIRLS AND

GUYS.

AND SO THE LORD IS

EXPANDING.

Terry: SO YOU'RE

CONTINUING TO DO THAT?

YES.

Terry: TALK A LITTLE

BIT ABOUT YOUR OWN HISTORY

GROWING UP.

BECAUSE THE DESIRE TO DO

THOSE GIRLS' CLUBS, THE

KNOWLEDGE THAT GIRLS WOULD

BENEFIT FROM THEM, REALLY

CAME OUT OF YOUR OWN

EXPERIENCE AS A CHILD.

IT CAME OUT OF AN

EXPERIENCE WITH A LADY

NAMED CECILIA.

YEARS AGO I BECAME

INTENTIONAL ABOUT IT, WITH

EVEN MY OWN DAUGHTER, WHO

IS NOW 23.

Terry: WOW.

I TOOK A LOT OF YOUTH

ON THE ROAD WITH ME.

SOME OF THEM, WE JUST

WORKED AT HOME, IN A SMALL

COMMUNITY CENTER, AND

POURED LIFE INTO THEM,

POURED THE WORD INTO THEM,

POURED THE ARTS INTO THEM.

AND AS A RESULT, I HAD

SEEN A LOT OF THEM BEGIN

TO FLOURISH, SO I WANT TO

DO IT MORE AND INSPIRE

OTHER PEOPLE TO DO IT AS

WELL.

Terry: WHAT DO YOU

THINK YOUNG GIRLS, AND

YOUNG MEN AS WELL -- WHAT

DO YOU THINK THEY NEED IN

THOSE YEARS WHEN THEY'RE

GROWING UP?

WHEN YOU WENT THROUGH SOME

THINGS IN YOUR OWN LIFE

THAT SO IMPACTED YOUR

IDENTITY, YOUR SENSE OF

VALUE -- WHAT DO YOU THINK

THEY NEED?

I THINK THEY REALLY

NEED TO KNOW THAT THEY ARE

LOVED AND THEY NEED TO

KNOW WHO THEY ARE.

BUT YOU CAN ONLY KNOW WHO

YOU ARE THROUGH JESUS

CHRIST.

THEY NEED THAT

RELATIONSHIP.

NOT THE RULES OF RELIGION,

BUT THEY NEED A REAL

RELATIONSHIP WITH HIM.

AND THEY NEED SOMEONE TO

WALK WITH THEM TO SHOW

THEM HOW TO WALK THE WORD

OUT.

SO WE HAVE THE POWER OF

THE HOLY SPIRIT FOR THAT,

BUT GOD ALSO GIVES US

DISCIPLES AND MENTORS THAT

HELP.

Terry: IF PEOPLE WANT

TO KNOW MORE ABOUT YOUR

CLUBS, BECAUSE I'M SURE

YOU WOULD LIKE TO

ESTABLISH MORE, HOW CAN

THEY FIND OUT?

THEY CAN GO TO Nicole

NicoleCMullen.com.

Terry: AWESOME.

I WAS READING ABOUT YOUR

SONG "REDEEMER" -- AND SHE

IS GOING TO SING THAT

LATER, BUT IT TOOK YOU A

WHOLE YEAR TO PUT THAT

TOGETHER.

AND IT CAME OUT OF YOU'RE

READING JOB.

IT DID.

HE GOES FROM RICHES TO

RAGS AND FROM

RAGS-TO-RICHES.

AND IT WAS IN THE MIDDLE

OF HIS DEPRESSION, WHERE

HE SAID, I DON'T KNOW WHAT

IS GOING ON AROUND ME, BUT

I DO KNOW MY REDEEMER IS

GOING TO BUY THIS BACK.

WHEN I WAS READING ABOUT

JOB, I GAINED HOPE.

AND I BEGAN TO PICK UP MY

LITTLE GUITAR, AND THE

CHORDS JUST CAME AND THEN

THE VERSES CAME.

AND AFTER A YEAR WAS OVER,

I HAD A WHOLE SONG.

Terry: BUT THAT SONG

HAS SUCH A POWERFUL LIFE

TO IT.

THE INSPIRATION BEHIND

THOSE WORDS WAS SO GOD

THAT YOU CAN'T HEAR IT

WITHOUT BEING MOVED BY IT.

IT'S THE LORD.

Terry: YOU'RE NOW

EMBARKING ON THESE "ARISE"

TOURS.

TELL ME ABOUT THAT.

WE HAVE CONFERENCES

WE'RE STARTING.

OUR FIRST IS

SEPTEMBER 8th AND 9th

IN NIAGARA FALLS, NEW

YORK.

IT IS FOR GIRLS FROM AGES

12 TO 112.

JUST BEING REAL.

AND HEARING HOW GOD

STEPPED INTO THOSE NIGHTS.

WE HAVE EVERYTHING FROM A

PAJAMA PARTY TO Q AND A TO

CROWNING CEREMONIES OF

REMEMBERING WHO WE ARE,

AND CALLING EACH OTHER

BACK TO LIFE BECAUSE

THAT'S WHAT CHRIST DOES.

HE SAYS TO LEAD THE

CHILDREN.

I THINK IT IS TIME FOR US

TO LAUGH AGAIN, TO LIVE

AGAIN, TO LOVE AGAIN.

Terry: YOU'RE GOING

TO SING FOR US TODAY.

AND IT'S FROM YOUR C.D.

"ARISE," AND TELL ME WHAT

ARE YOU SINGING?

IT IS THE NEW SINGLE

THAT CAME OUT, AND IT'S

CALLED "ARISE."

THE LORD HAS SOMETHING FOR

YOU TO DO, AND HE'S NOT

DONE.

THE ALBUM COMES OUT

SEPTEMBER 8th, THE SAME

TIME AS THE "ARISE"

CONFERENCE.

Terry: I'M GOING TO

LET YOU GO GET READY TO

SING WHILE I TELL PEOPLE

THANK YOU.

Wendy: COMING UP,

NICOLE C. MULLEN RETURNS

WITH HER HIT SONG

"REDEEMER," AND THAT'S

LATER ON "THE 700 CLUB."

Terry: SHE WAS SO

THIRSTY SHE DRANK FROM

USED WATER BOTTLES THAT

OTHER PEOPLE HAD THROWN

AWAY.

IT WAS EITHER DRINK THAT

OR DRINK FROM A MUDDY

CREEK.

WELL, EVENTUALLY THE DIRTY

WATER MADE HER SO SICK SHE

HAD TO BE HOSPITALIZED.

Reporter: 12-YEAR-OLD

FAYEA ALWAYS LOOKED FOR

USED PLASTIC BOTTLES, NOT

TO RECYCLE, BUT TO FIND

THE TINIEST BIT OF WATER

SHE COULD DRINK.

Through Translator:

MY MOUTH AND THROAT ARE

DRY.

SO EVEN IF THE WATER IN

THE BOTTLE IS A LITTLE

YELLOW, I DRINK IT.

Reporter: THIS IS

FAYEA'S MOM.

THE VILLAGE CHILDREN

TOLD ME THEY SAW FAYEA

PICK UP A USED BOTTLE.

I WAS SO SHOCKED, BUT I

DON'T HAVE THE MONEY TO

BUY CLEAN WATER.

Reporter: EVERY

MORNING FAYEA AND HER MOM

HEAD TO THE RIVER.

THE WATER THERE IS FILT

TEE AND LOADED WITH

BACTERIA.

THE WATER FROM THE

RIVER LOOKS RED AND IT

SMELLS MUDDY.

WE BOIL IT, BUT IT STILL

MAKES US SICK.

Reporter: THEY HAVE

TIME FOR ONE TRIP IN THE

MORNING BEFORE FAYEA GOES

TO SCHOOL.

IN THE AFTERNOON, FAYEA

WAS SO THIRSTY, SHE ALSO

DRANK WATER FROM THIS

MUDDY CANAL.

BY THE TIME SHE GOT HOME,

SHE WAS SICK.

IT FELT LIKE I HAD

INSECTS INSIDE MY STOMACH.

IT HURT SO MUCH I WAS

SCARED I WAS GOING TO DIE.

I WAS AFRAID I WOULD

LOSE HER.

I BEGGED MY NEIGHBOR TO

LEND ME SOME MONEY, AND I

TOOK HER TO THE HOSPITAL.

Reporter: CBN

DISCOVERED THE FAMILY'S

NEED AND DUG A WELL FOR

FAYEA AND HER MOM.

THOSE MOMENTS AFTER THE

WELL WAS CAPPED BECAME A

TIME OF CELEBRATION AS

EVERYONE GOT TO TASTE THE

WATER.

IT WAS SO PURE AND

DELICIOUS.

THE FIRST I TASTED IT, I

WAS SO HAPPY.

Reporter: AND THEN WE

GAVE HER MOM SEEDS TO

PLANT A GARDEN.

WITH PLENTY OF FRESH WATER

FROM THE NEW WELL, THE

VEGETABLES QUICKLY GREW

AND PROVIDED A GREAT

HARVEST.

NOW FAYEA AND HER MOM HAVE

INCOME WHEN SHE CAN'T FIND

WORK WITH OTHER FARMERS.

OW I LOVE OUR NEW GARDEN

SO MUCH.

I WILL NEVER FORGET

WHAT CBN DID.

THANK YOU FOREVER.

Terry: CAN YOU SEE

HOW WIDESPREAD THE

BLESSING OF CLEAN WATER

IS?

YOU ARE IMPACTING PEOPLE'S

LIVES AROUND THE WORLD IN

WAYS THAT ARE

LIFE-CHANGING AND

LIFE-SAVING, IF YOU'RE A

"700 CLUB" MEMBER.

YOU AND I GO TO THE FAUCET

EVERY DAY IF WE'RE

THIRSTY, AND WE GO TO OUR

REFRIGERATOR DOORS AND GET

A CLEAN, FILTERED GLASS OF

WATER TO DRINK WITHOUT

GIVING IT A SECOND

THOUGHT.

BUT IN MANY, MANY PARTS OF

THE WORLD, THERE IS NO

OPPORTUNITY FOR CLEAN

DRINKING WATER.

AND THOUGH WE OFTEN TALK

ABOUT THE HUNGER FACTOR IN

THE WORLD, AND THAT IS

VERY, VERY REAL, CLEAN

WATER MEANS LIFE.

I WANT TO SAY THANK YOU TO

"700 CLUB" MEMBERS WHO

HAVE MADE A DIFFERENCE IN

THIS AREA.

DRILLING WELLS, PROVIDING

CLEAN WATER IS JUST ONE OF

THE THINGS YOU DO IF

YOU'RE A "700 CLUB"

MEMBER.

THINGS YOU'RE DOING AROUND

THE WORLD AS WELL.

BECOMING PART OF THIS

GROUP THAT IS MAKING A
