SUFFERING IN IRAQ.

PLUS...A PASTOR'S

PRAYERS ARE ANSWERED,

COMING IN THE FORM OF 65

BURMESE REFUGEES.

HANDS AND FEET OF JESUS,

VICTIMS OF HURRICANE

HARVEY.

*

WELCOME TO "CHRISTIAN

WORLD NEWS," EVERYONE.

I'M WENDY GRIFFITH.

GEORGE THOMAS IS ON

ASSIGNMENT.

I WANT TO ALSO WELCOME OUR

Facebook AUDIENCE.

BE SURE TO POST YOUR

QUESTIONS THAT YOU HAVE

ABOUT OUR STORIES, AND

WE'LL BE SURE TO ANSWER

THEM LATER IN THE PROGRAM.

> BUT FIRST, IRAQI

TROOPS, AIDED BY COALITION

FORCES, ARE STEADILY

DRIVING ISIS FROM NORTHERN

IRAQ.

THROUGHOUT THE BLOODY

CAMPAIGN, ONE MINISTRY PUT

ITSELF ON THE FRONT LINES

TO PROVIDE MEDICAL RELIEF,

HUMANITARIAN AID, AND THE

GOSPEL.

AS CHRIS MITCHELL REPORTS,

ONE BRAVE RESCUE BY THIS

MINISTRY CAPTURED THE

HEARTS OF MILLIONS.

IT'S A SPRINT BETWEEN

LIFE AND DEATH THAT HAS

GONE VIRAL.

12 SECONDS THAT SHOWED

TRUE SACRIFICE TO A WORLD

SEARCHING FOR HOPE, NOW

SEEN AND SHARED BY

MILLIONS.

DADAVE EUBANK TOLD CBN NEWS

WHY HE RISKED HIS OWN LIFE

TO SAVE THIS 6-YEAR-OLD

IRAQI GIRL.

FOR LOVE.

I WOULD WANT SOMEONE TO

SAVE MY KIDS.

WHENEVER YOU'RE TERRIFIED,

YOU SHOULD ASK, AM I

SUPPOSED TO DO THIS?

ASK GOD THAT, NOT

YOURSELF.

AND THEN IF HE SAYS YOU

SHOULD DO IT, THEN DO IT.

LOVE IS WHAT MAKES YOU

REALLY BRAVE.

AND GOD GAVE ME ENOUGH OF

THAT TO RUN ACROSS, GRAB

THE GIRL.

AND THAT'S NOT THE ONLY

HEROICS SHOWN BY EUBANK

AND HIS TEAM.

WE'RE HERE TO RESCUE

THIS LITTLE GIRL.

LORD JESUS, HELP US, HELP

US GET HER OUT.

Reporter: SHE MADE

IT, TOO.

JESUS, YOU SAVED ME.

I WANT TO BE WITH YOU,

HELPING OTHERS.

AND THAT'S WHAT THE

RANGERS IS ABOUT.

Reporter: EUBANK

STARTED 20 YEARS AGO IN

BURMA.

THREE YEARS AGO THEY

ANSWERED THE CALL TO COME

TO IRAQ, SERBIA, AND

AFGHANISTAN.

OUR MISSION IS TO

PROVIDE HOPE, SHOWING THEM

WE'RE HERE.

AND THAT GOD LOVES YOU.

GOD SENT JESUS TO SAVE US.

YOU CAN CALL ON HIM ANY

TIME.

Reporter: HIS TEAM

SHOWED THAT LOVE TO THE

PEOPLE OF MOSUL DURING THE AND THE

IRAQI ARMY, DURING THE

FIGHT TO FREE THEM FROM

ISIS.

AS ISLAMIC FIGHTERS FIRED

AT PEOPLE TRYING TO

ESCAPE, THE FREE BURMA

RANGERS RUSHED INTO THE

KILLING ZONE.

EUBANK TRIED TO SAVE THIS

WOUNDED MUSLIM WOMAN, BUT

SHE DIED.

YET IN THE MIDST OF THIS

CARNAGE, EUBANK'S WIFE,

KAREN, AND THEIR THREE

CHILDREN BRING FUN, GAMES,

AND THE GOSPEL.

KAREN EXPLAINS IT BEGAN

BACK IN BURMA TO HELP

NEIGHBORS IN TROUBLE.

IT WAS VERY NATURAL TO

GO TO PEOPLE THAT YOU

KNEW, CHURCHES THAT YOU

KNEW, AND VILLAGES THAT

YOU KNEW, AND AS THOSE

VILLAGES WERE IN CONFLICT,

IT WAS STILL NATURAL

BECAUSE YOU WANT TO HELP

PEOPLE THAT YOU LOVE.

WE WOULD STAY WITH THE

FAMILIES THERE.

AS THINGS WERE INTENSE AND

FIGHTING INCREASED ON THE

FRONT LINE, WE WOULD STILL

STAY WITH THE FAMILIES.

Reporter: NOW THEIR

CHILDREN SAY IT IS NATURAL

TO HELP THE PEOPLE OF

IRAQ.

WE WOULDN'T BE THERE IF

IT WASN'T FOR GOD.

WE ARE BLESSED TO HAVE

THIS OPPORTUNITY.

NOT MANY PEOPLE GET TO GO

TO MOSUL AND GET TO HELP

THERE IN THAT AREA.

OF COURSE THERE IS ALWAYS

THE DANGER OF BEING SHOT,

SO WE ALSO FEEL BLESSED HE

HAS PROTECTED US THROUGH

ALL OF THIS.

I TOLD THEM THEY'RE THE

EPITOME OF HIGH-RISK

MISSION WORK.

THEY PROVIDE MEDICAL

TREATMENT, HOPE, LOVE,

PRAYING WITH THE PEOPLE,

BEARING THEIR BURDENS.

IT IS A LOVING SACRIFICE.

SUCH A GREAT EXAMPLE FOR

BEING A LIGHT IN A VERY

DARK PLACE.

Reporter: CBN NEWS

JOINED EUBANK ON THE FRONT

LINES AND FOUND A MAN OF

CONSTANT PRAYER.

WE CAN'T TAKE CARE OF

EVERYBODY, BUT YOU CAN

TAKE CARE OF THE PERSON IN

FRONT OF YOU.

Reporter: AND ARE

THESE SOME OF THE KIDS YOU

ARE TRYING TO TAKE CARE

OF?

YES.

THEY'VE BEEN OUT HERE

THREE DAYS.

AND WE HAVE SOME FOOD AND

WATER.

LORD, JESUS, HELP THESE

PEOPLE GO TO A SAFE PLACE

AND A GOOD PLACE TONIGHT.

IN JESUS' NAME, AMEN.

Reporter: REMEMBER

THAT LITTLE IRAQI GIRL

THAT DAVE SAVED?

THE TEAM FOUND A

"SUPERBOOK" VIDEO FOR HER

TO WATCH.

ONE THING I'VE BEEN LOVED IS

GIVING KIDS GREAT STORIES,

AND "SUPERBOOK" HAS BEEN A

BLESSING.

IT SAYS IN THAT INDIGENOUS

LANGUAGE THINGS THAT I

CAN'T SAY IN FULL, AND THE

BEAUTIFUL ANIMATION GOES A

LONG WAY IN PLACES WHERE

THERE IS NO MEDIA.

SO THANK YOU, "SUPERBOOK"

TEAM, FOR LETTING US SHARE

THAT IN VERY RESTRICTED

FOREIGN AREAS.

WE'VE BEEN ABLE TO SHOW

"SUPERBOOK" IN CORRIN

LANGUAGE, IN BURMESE, IN

ARABIC, IN FRONTLINE

COMMUNITIES.

THAT IS A BIT OF

ENCOURAGEMENT AS WELL AS

NORMAL LIFE.

WE GET TO WATCH A VIDEO,

AND WE GET TO WATCH FUN

STORIES OF GOD'S

FAITHFULNESS.

SO "SUPERBOOK" IS A BIG

BLESSING.

Reporter: NOW ON A

SPEAKING TOUR IN THE

STATES, EUBANK BRINGS A

MESSAGE BACK TO AMERICA.

WITHOUT E-MAILS THAT

SAY BE BOLD, WITHOUT WORDS

FROM SCRIPTURE -- THOSE

ALL CAME BACK TO ME, A

GREATER MAN HAS NO LOVE

THAN THIS THAN HE LAY DOWN

HIS LIFE.

HOW AM I TO PRAY, AND KNOW

THAT THE POWER OF JESUS

WILL DEFEAT SATAN.

WOW, THE POWER OF JESUS

WILL DEFEAT SATAN.

CHRIS MITCHELL JOINS US

NOW FROM JERUSALEM.

GOOD TO SEE YOU, CHRIS.

CHRIS, DOES DAVE HAVE A

MILITARY BACKGROUND?

HE DOES.

I WAS LISTENING TO THAT

STORY AND IT BROUGHT BACK

SOME GREAT MEMORIES.

HE DOES HAVE A MILITARY

BACKGROUND.

HE SPENT 20 YEARS IN THE

ARMY RANGERS, AND IT WAS

OUR OWN CHUCK HOLTON THAT

FIRST INTRODUCED ME TO

DAVE.

HE SAID TO ME, CHRIS, I

HAVE NOT MET ANY MAN LIKE

DAVE WHO PRAYS SO MUCH.

WHEN I MET HIM AND SPENT

SOME TIME WITH HIM SEVERAL

TIMES IN NORTHERN IRAQ, I

FOUND THAT TO BE TRUE.

HE IS ONE OF MY HEROS IN

THE FAITH.

YEAH, AND WE SEE THAT

HE DEFINITELY FIGHTS NOT

ONLY IN THE NATURAL, BUT

IN THE SPIRIT.

TELL US HOW HE RELIES ON

PRAYER AND FAITH IN THESE

MOST DANGEROUS SITUATIONS.

ALMOST PRAYING WITHOUT

CEASING.

IT IS ALMOST LITERALLY

TRUE AND THE REST OF HIS

TEAM, AS HE PRAYS, AS HE

PRAYED IN THAT LITTLE CLIP

THAT WE HAD.

HE KNOWS THIS IS NOT JUST

A PHYSICAL BATTLE, BUT A

SPIRITUAL BATTLE, AND

PRAYER IS THE WEAPON HE

USES ALMOST DAILY.

AND IT WAS INTERESTING

THAT HE SAID, TOO, HE WAS

SO THAN THANKFUL FOR THE

PRAYERS OF THE SAINTS THAT

GAVE HIM BOLDNESS TO GO

OUT AND DO SOMETHING.

HE IS AN INSPIRATION TO SO

MANY OF US, AND THE WAY HE

SHOWS HIS FAITH AND

COURAGE IN EVERYDAY

CHALLENGES, AND CERTAINLY

THAT IS PART OF HIS

MESSAGE.

DEFINITELY PART OF HIS

MESSAGE.

IT IS NOT JUST SOMETHING

THAT HE TEACHES.

HE LIVES BY EXAMPLE.

IT IS NOT SO MUCH BEING

TAUGHT AS BEING CAUGHT.

WHEN I WAS SPENDING THE

NIGHT WITH HIM, JUST

SEEING THE WAY HE USES HIS

MILITARY BACKGROUND, HIS

SPIRIT FAITH TO HELP THE

OPPRESSED.

HE BEGAN IN BURMA HELPING

THE VULNERABLE AND THE

OPPRESSED, GIVING THEM

EDUCATION, BUT ALSO HOPE

AND LOVE.

WE SAW THAT ON THE FRONT

LINES OF MOSUL, AND HE

DEMONSTRATED THAT IN THAT

12-SECOND VIDEO THAT

REALLY HAS GONE AROUND THE

WORLD.

I THINK HE LIVES BY THAT

SCRIPTURE, GREATER LOVE

HATH NO MAN THAT HE GIVE

HIS LIFE FOR HIS NEIGHBOR.

HE SHOWED THAT IN IRAQ,

AND HE CONTINUES TO LIVE

THAT OUT, AS WELL AS HIS

FAMILY.

JUST A REMARKABLE FAMILY

THAT PEOPLE SHOULD

CONTINUE TO PRAY FOR.

STAY RIGHT THERE,

CHRIS.

I WANT TO GO TO OUR CBN

NEWS PRODUCER EMILY JONES.

HOW IS OUR Facebook

AUDIENCE REACTING TO THAT

GREAT STORY.

PEOPLE ARE SAYING IT IS

AMAZING THAT THESE PEOPLE

ARE EVANGELIZING AT SUCH A

TIME AS THIS.

THAT'S THE WORDS THEY'RE

USING, AT SUCH A TIME AS

THIS, WHEN THERE IS SO

MUCH EVIL AND DARKNESS.

THEY'RE GOING TON THE

FRONON THE FRONTLINES.

HOW ABOUT QUESTIONS FOR

CHRIS?

A QUESTION THAT IS

COMING UP A LOT IN OUR

AUDIENCE IS, WHAT WOULD

DAVE SAY TO THOSE PEOPLE

WHO MIGHT THINK THAT HIS

DECISION TO PUT HIS FAMILY

ON THE LINE IS WRONG?

INTERESTING.

ALL RIGHT, CHRIS, WHAT

ABOUT IT?

A GREAT QUESTION THAT

COMES UP A LOT.

HE EXPLAINED TO ME WHAT

ABOUT THE PEOPLE IN THE

WEST, THAT WITH COVERED

WAGONS WENT INTO THE WEST,

AND INTO DANGEROUS PLACES,

AND THEY THOUGHT THAT

WOULD BE OKAY.

HE DOESN'T TAKE THEM RIGHT

INTO SHOOTING RANGE, BUT

THEY ARE IN DANGEROUS

PLACES, AND HE BELIEVES

THAT GOD WILL PROTECT

THEM, AND CERTAINLY HE

HAS.

THE KITCHENE CHILDREN ARE

REMARKABLE.

THEY REALLY ARE.

THEY SEEM VERY HAPPY AND

READY TO BE ONPT FRONT ON THE FRONT

LINES AS WELL, WITH THEIR

DAD.

ANOTHER QUESTION THAT

IS COMING UP A LOT IS: HOW

CAN WE BE BACKING UP DAVE

ON THE FRONT LINES,

THROUGH PRAYER?

HOW SHOULD WE BE PRAYING

FOR HIM AND HIS FAMILY?

I WOULD SAY PRAY FOR

PROTECTION, NUMBER ONE.

PRAY PSALM 91, THAT HE WHO

DWELLS IN THE SECRET PLACE

WILL BE IN THE SHADOW OF

THE ALMIGHTY.

PRAY THAT THEY HAVE PEOPLE

THAT HELP THEM.

MANY MINISTRIES GAVE THEM

FOOD, WATER, AND SUPPLIES

SO THEY COULD HELP PEOPLE

IN NEED.

MOST OF THE PEOPLE THEY

HELPED WERE MUSLIMS.

THEY SHARED THE LOVE OF

JESUS WITH THEM IN

PRACTICAL WAYS DAY BY DAY.

BEAUTIFUL.

CHRIS, WE SO MUCH

APPRECIATE THIS STORY, AND

YOU JOINING US LIVE FROM

JERUSALEM.

GOD BLESS YOU.

WE'RE ALWAYS PRAYING FOR

YOU, TOO.

THANKS, WENDY.

GREAT TO BE WITH YOU ALL.

UP NEXT, THE REAL STORY

BEHIND THE MOVIE, "ALL

SAINTS," HOW A BAND OF

REFUGEES SAVED A

SMALL-TOWN CHURCH.

AND WELCOME BACK.

THE SURPRISING STORY OF

HOW BURMA REFUGEES BROUGHT

NEW LIFE TO AN AMERICAN

CHURCH IS DOING

SURPRISINGLY WELL ON THE

BIG SCREEN.

THE MOVIE, CALLED "ALL

SAINTS," EARNED MORE THAN

$4 MILLION IN ITS FIRST

TWO WEEKS, DOUBLING THE

AMOUNT IT COST TO MAKE IT.

EFREM GRAHAM WENT TO

SMYRNA, TENNESSEE, TO

BRING THE REAL FOLKS

BEHIND THIS MIRACLE STORY.

Efrem: MICHAEL

SPURLOCK WALKED AWAY FROM

A BUSINESS CAREER TO

BECOME AN EPISCOPAL PRIEST

MORE THAN 10 YEARS AGO,

AND IT HAS BEEN QUITE THE

JOURNEY.

> YOU GO FROM PAPER

SALESMAN TO PREACHER, AND

YOUR FIRST JOB AS A PASTOR

IS TO SHUT DOWN A CHURCH.

THAT'S WHAT IT BECAME.

Efrem: WHAT ARE YOU

THINKING WHEN YOU TAKE

THAT JOB?

THAT THAT'S WHERE GOD

INTENDED FOR ME TO BE.

DEAR FRIENDS IN CHRIST,

THE REVEREND MICHAEL

SPURLOCK.

Efrem: HIS TIME AS

PASTOR IS THE FOCUS OF THE

FILM "ALL SAINTS."

AS FATHER MICHAEL PREPARES

TO SHUT DOWN THE CHURCH,

PERSECUTED CHRISTIANS FROM

BURMA SHOW UP, LOOKING FOR

HELP.

WE HAVE MANY NEW

FAMILIES SLEEP ON FLOOR,

NOT ENOUGH FOOD FOR THEIR

CHILDREN.

WELL, MAYBE ONE OF THE

BIGGER CHURCHES --

WE ARE ANGLICAN.

I DIDN'T KNOW KOREA --

WE WERE OCCUPIED BY THE

BRITISH.

WE LEARNED ABOUT JESUS

CHRIST FROM THE BRITISH.

THEY'RE ANGLICANS?

YES.

WE'RE ANGLICAN CHURCH,

EPISCOPALIAN.

HERE IS THE THING, ALL

SAINTS IS BROKE.

WE'RE CLOSING THE CHURCH.

WE'RE BROKE.

WELL, WHAT IS "BROKE"?

Efrem: WHEN THE

RERCHEREFUGEES SHOW UP AT THE

CHURCH SEEKING SHELTER AND

HELP, AND YOU'RE IN THE

PROCESS OF SHUTTING DOWN

THE CHURCH, WHAT WAS IT

THAT MADE YOU OPEN THE

DOOR AND DO THIS?

JESUS.

I DON'T SEE HOW WE COULD

HONESTLY CLAIM THE TITLE

OF CHRISTIAN AND DONE

ANYTHING DIFFERENTLY.

MY FAITH IN JESUS, MY LOVE

OF JESUS JUST TELLS ME

THERE IS ONLY ONE ANSWER.

Efrem: IN THIS

PROCESS OF BEGINNING THE

CLOSE-DOWN, WER YOU FEEL GOD

SPEAKS TO YOU --

HE DID SPEAK TO ME.

Efrem: WHAT DID HE

SAY?

IT WAS REALLY THE

11th HOUR, WHEN WE

THOUGHT WE HAD AN OFFER ON

THE CHURCH AND WE'RE GOING

TO HAVE TO ACCEPT IT, THAT

I TOOK A WALK OUT ON THE

FIELDS BEHIND THE CHURCH,

AND GOD SAID, MICHAEL, I

HAVE GIVEN YOU FARMLAND

AND I HAVE SENT 65 EXPERT

FARMERS FROM THE OTHER

SIDE OF THE WORLD.

YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO START A

FARM HERE.

THAT'S YOUR FUTURE.

Efrem: AS CLEAR AS

THAT?

AS CLEAR AS THAT.

SO CORN HERE, TOMATOES

HERE, SQUASH HERE.

S.

GOOD THING YOU DIDN'T

LAND IN BROOKLYN, BECAUSE

BROOKLYN -- HEY, LET'S GET

STARTED.

Efrem: IT SITS ON

22 ACRES OF LAND, 17 OF IT

JUST LIKE THIS, FARMLAND,

PERFECTLY FLAT.

IT NOT ONLY PRODUCED FOOD,

IT GAVE THIS CHURCH NEW

LIFE.

AS THAT MIRACLE GETS

SHARED WITH THE REST OF

THE WORLD, WE WATCHED AS

THE FILM'S STARS JOINED

THE REAL-LIFE HEROS FOR

THE HOMETOWN SCREENING.

IT IS STRANGE AND

WONDERFUL.

AND BECAUSE IT IS STRANGE

AND WONDERFUL, IT SEEMS TO

FIT PERFECTLY WITH THIS

PLACE BECAUSE THIS IS A

STRANGE AND WONDERFUL

PLACE.

CONSIDER THE MUSTARD

SEED, THE SMALLEST OF ALL

SEEDS, YET IT GROWS SUCH

BIG BRANCHES THAT THE

BIRDS PERCH IN ITS SHADE.

Efrem: JOHN CORBETT

PLAYS THE ROLE OF FATHER

SPURLOCK IN THE FILM.

WHAT WAS IT ABOUT HIS LIFE

THAT YOU FELT YOU WANTED

TO PROJECT ON THE SCREEN,

TO MAKE SURE PEOPLE FELT?

WE HAVE A KIND OF

SIMILAR OUTLOOK ON LIFE,

WHICH IS, I'M NOW AT THE

STAGE WHERE I'M KIND OF

BORED WITH WHAT I'VE BEEN

DOING FOR 30 YEARS.

I REALIZE HOW MANY SUMMERS

DO I HAVE LEFT?

I'M 56.

WHETHER I HAVE 20 SUMMERS

LEFT, GOOD SUMMERS, AND A

LOT OF MY TIME IS SPENT

THINKING, WHAT DO I REALLY

WANT TO DO WITH THOSE

SUMMERS?

IS IT TO GO TO ANOTHER

MOVIE SET AND SAY SOMEONE

ELSE'S LINES AND WHERE

SOMEONE ELSE'S CLOTHES FOR

SIX WEEKS, GET THE

PAYCHECK, AND THEN GO HOME

AND WAIT FOR THE PHONE TO

RING AND DO IT AGAIN?

OR DO I WANT TO REALLY

SHAKE THINGS UP AND SELL

THE HOUSE AND MOVE

SOMEWHERE AND KIND OF

START OVER?

THAT'S WHAT HE DID.

HE, MIDSTREAM, JUST JUMPED

OUT OF THE BOAT AND SAID,

YOU KNOW, I'M DONE WITH

THIS LIFE.

NOW I'M GOING TO HAVE A

LIFE OF SERVICE IN THE

CHURCH.

AND I JUST REALLY ADMIRE

THAT, THAT HE DID THAT.

Efrem: COMEDIENNE

CHONDA PIERCE ONCE LIVED

NEAR THE CHURCH.

YOU COULD RAISE

SPARROWS IN THERE.

SHE IS MEAN AS ALL

HECK.

[LAUGHTER]

AND I CAN TELL YOU

EXACTLY THE WOMEN I WAS

THINKING OF.

Efrem: PLEASE SHARE.

SO YOU KNOW THESE WOMEN?

I KNOW THESE WOMEN.

I GREW UP IN THE CHURCH.

I TELL PEOPLE ALL THE

TIME, I'VE SEEN THE GOOD,

THE BAD, AND THE UGLY.

AND MY PART IN THIS MOVIE

IS ONE OF THE UGLIES.

SHE IS NOT A HORRIBLE

PERSON, BUT SHE REALLY

REPRESENTS A MAJORITY OF

FOLKS OUT THERE THAT HAVE

A STRUGGLE WITH CHANGE.

AND THAT'S SOMETHING THAT

RINGS TRUE IN THE CHURCH

WORLD IN A LOT OF AREAS.

AND YET AT THE SAME TIME,

SHE REMINDS ME OF A LOT OF

CHURCH FOLKS THAT GET

COMPLETELY OFF FOCUS OF

WHAT THE CHURCH IS ALL

ABOUT.

AND THAT'S WHY I LOVE THE

STORY.

Efrem: FATHER

SPURLOCK SEES THIS AS A

STORY ONLY GOD COULD HAVE

WRITTEN.

I'VE HEARD YOU SAY THAT

YOU'VE MADE SOME MISTAKES,

EVEN IN THAT JOURNEY OF

DOING THIS.

WHAT WERE SOME OF THE

MISTAKES?

WELL, A LOT OF FARMING

MISTAKES.

[LAUGHTER]

NOT BEING A FARMER, OR

KNOWING ANYTHING ABOUT

FARMING.

BUT, YOU KNOW, GOD GOT

NOAH TO BUILD A BOAT.

CAN YOU IMAGINE THE

PATIENCE IT MUST REQUIRE

TO WATCH A FARMER BECOME A

SHIPBUILDER?

SO GOD CALLED A PRIEST TO

BE A FARMER, AND HE HAD TO

HAVE KNOWN THIS WAS NOT

GOING TO GO SMOOTHLY.

Efrem: EVEN WITH A

FEW BUMPS ON THE ROAD, THE

HARVEST IS GETTING RICHER

AT ALL SAINTS, WITH ITS

$850,000 MORTGAGE PAID IN

FULL, AND THE CHURCH DOORS

STILL OPEN FOR BUSINESS.

EFREM GRAHAM, CBN NEWS,

SMYRNA, TENNESSEE.

AS WE RECORD THIS

PROGRAM, HURRICANE IRMA IS

BARRELING TOWARDS FLORIDA.

THE STORM DEVASTATED

SEVERAL ISLANDS IN THE

CARIBBEAN AND LEFT MORE

THAN A MILLION PEOPLE

WITHOUT POWER IN PUERTO

RICO.

YOU CAN FIND U UP TO DATE

REPORTS ON THE STORM ON

cbnnews.com, AND WE'LL

HAVE FULL COVERAGE ON

"CHRISTIAN WORLD NEWS"

NEXT WEEK.

WE ENCOURAGE OUR AUDIENCE

TO PRAY FOR THE VICTIMS OF

HURRICANE IRMA AND THOSE

IN ITS PATH.

> WELL, PRESIDENT TRUMP

CALLED FOR A "NATIONAL DAY

OF PRAYER" FOR VICTIMS OF

HURRICANE HARVEY.

HE SIGNED A PROCLAMATION

SURROUNDED BY SPIRITUAL

LEADERS IN THE OVAL

OFFICE.

THEN THE PRESIDENT ASKED

DALLAS PASTOR ROBERT

JEFFRESS TO PRAY FOR HIM

AND THE NATION.

FATHER, I THANK YOU

THAT WE HAVE A PRESIDENT,

PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP,

WHO BELIEVES IN THE POWER

OF PRAYER.

WE THANK YOU FOR A VICE

PRESIDENT LIKE

VICE-PRESIDENT PENCE, WHO

WORKS ALONGSIDE OF HIM.

AND WE THANK YOU THAT THE

PRESIDENT HAD THE WISDOM

TO CALL OUR NATION RIGHT

NOW FOR A DAY OF PRAYER

THIS COMING WEEKEND.

AMEN.

CBN'S "OPERATION BLESSING"

IS MOBILIZING VOLUNTEERS

TO HELP THE VICTIMS OF

HARVEY.

PRESIDENT BILL HURAN TAKES

US TO THE LAMARK, TEXAS,

CHURCH, TO SHOW US HOW

THAT MINISTRY IS PROVIDING

CRUCIAL NEEDS FOR

DESPERATE FAMILIES.

[YELLING]

THERE IS A BOX OF

DIAPERS OUTSIDE.

[YELLING]

SO HERE AT THE ABUNDANT

LIFE CHURCH IN LAMARK,

TEXAS, IT FINALLY STOPPED

RAINING YESTERDAY.

THEY GOT MORE RAIN THAN

THEY'VE EVER HAD IN THE

HISTORY OF THIS STATE AS A

RESULT OF THE STORM.

IT IS JUST INCREDIBLE.

IF YOU JUST LOOK AROUND

HERE, YOU WOULD WONDER

WHERE IS THE FLOOD?

WELL, IT IS EVERYWHERE.

AND ALL OF THESE FOLKS

HERE ARE WAITING FOR THE

FOOD AND THE WATER THAT IS

ON OUR TRUCK.

THIS ABUNDANT LIFE CHURCH

IS JUST AHIVE OF ACTIVITY.

ALL OF THEM HAVE STORIES

ABOUT HOW THEY HAVE WATER

IN THEIR HOMES, AND THEY

HAD TO BE RESCUED FROM

THEIR HOMES.

THEY'RE HERE GETTING FOOD

AND WATER AND CLOTHES.

THIS IS ABUNDANT LIFE IN

VERY ROUGH CIRCUMSTANCES.

ALL OF THIS FOOD AROUND ME

IS FROM "OPERATION

BLESSING," FROM OUR

DONORS, OUR CORPORATE

SUPPORTERS.

IT IS AMAZING HOW EXCITED

PEOPLE ARE ABOUT WHAT CAME

OUT OF OUR TRUCK JUST NOW.

THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF

PEOPLE HERE.

AND THE PASTOR SAID BY

TOMORROW MORNING, THERE

WILL BE EVEN MORE.

WE HOPE WE HAVEN'T RUN OUT

BY THEN.

WE'VE GOT TO KEEP BRINGING

STUFF IN HERE.

WE HAVE TO KEEP FULL TO

HELP THESE FOLKS THAT ARE

DOWN ON THEIR LUCK.

LAST YEAR WE WERE IN TEXAS

FIVE TIMES, FIVE TIMES FOR

DISASTER RELIEF,

TORNADOES, FLOODS.

BUT THIS ONE IS THE BIG

ONE, THE MOTHER OF THEM

ALL.

I GUESS THE BIGGEST

RAINFALL IN THE HISTORY OF

TEXAS.

SO THESE FOLKS HAVE FORMED

A HUMAN CHAIN TO MOVE

THESE BOXES FROM THE

PALETTE, TO HERE, WITH THE

LOADER, AND NOW A HUMAN

CHAIN TO THE BUILDING.

THERE WILL BE PEOPLE

COMING HERE ALL AFTERNOON,

INTO LATE IN THE AFTERNOON

AND INTO THE EVENING AND

EARLY MORNING.

BUT THERE WILL BE A TIME

WHEN THERE WON'T BE

ANYTHING LEFT ON THE

PALETTES, LEFT IN THE

TRUCK.

WE'VE GOT TO KEEP THE

TRUCKS COMING THIS WAY,

AND YOU CAN HELP US DO

THAT.

AND THAT'S IT FOR THIS

WEEK'S "CHRISTIAN WORLD

NEWS."

WE PRAY FOR GOD'S BLESSING

AND PROTECTION ON EVERYONE

IN HURRICANE IRMA'S PATH.

AND GOD BLESS ALL OF YOU.

WE'LL SEE YOU NEXT WEEK.

TAKE CARE.
