Gordon: WELL, WELCOME

TO "THE 700 CLUB."

TENS OF THOUSANDS OF

PEOPLE IN FLORIDA ARE

COMING BACK HOME IN THE

AFTERMATH OF HURRICANE

IRMA.

MANY STILL DON'T HAVE

POWER OR EVEN RUNNING

WATER, AND SOME ARE

RETURNING TO HOUSES THAT

ARE NOW IN SHAMBLES.

Terry: VOLUNTEERS

FROM AROUND THE COUNTRY

ARE HELPING THEM OUT.

OUR "OPERATION BLESSING"

IS ON THE GROUND, GIVING

PEOPLE FOOD AND WATER,

ALONG WITH HOPE.

GARY LANE BRINGS US THE

STORY FROM JACKSONVILLE,

FLORIDA.

Reporter: LONG LINES

OF CARS JAMMED HIGHWAY 1

AS FLORIDA KEYS RESIDENTS

RETURN TO THEIR HOMES FOR

THE FIRST TIME SINCE

HURRICANE IRMA BATTEREDED

SOUTHERN FLORIDA WITH

DESTRUCTIVE CATEGORY 4

WINDS.

ONE QUARTER OF THE HOMES

IN THE KEYS NO LONGER

EXIST.

IN NORTHEASTERN FLORIDA,

PEOPLE WERE TRYING TO

RECOVER FROM FLOODWATERS.

THIS IS JACKSONVILLE'S

POPULAR RIVER WALK AREA.

PEOPLE ENJOY COMING DOWN

HERE AND SEEING A NICE

SKYLINE VIEW, MAYBE

CONVERSING WITH FRIENDS

AND FAMILY ALONG THE

RIVER, BUT NOT ON THIS

DAY.

TAKE A LOOK AT THE

ST. JOHNS RIVER.

IT HAS OVERFLOWED ITS

BANKS, IT IS ABOUT SIX

FEET ABOVE NORMAL.

A POPULAR STATUE, KNOWN AS

THE SAILOR'S STATUE --

LESS THAN 24 HOURS AGO,

THESE WATERS WASHED UP TO

THIS BUILDING AND

THROUGHOUT THE STREETS OF

DOWNTOWN.

THIS IS HOW THE STREETS OF

DOWNTOWN JACKSONVILLE

LOOKED ON MONDAY MORNING.

FOR MOST FLORIDIANS,

ELECTRICITY IS THEIR

IMMEDIATE CONCERN AS THEY

RETURN TO THREE HOMES.

MILLIONS ARE WITHOUT

POWER.

UTILITY WORKERS LIKE THIS

FROM NEW YORK ARE

VOLUNTEERING THEIR TIME,

SO FLORIDIANS WILL NOT

HAVE TO SIT IN THE DARK OR

SUFFER THROUGH 90 HEAT.

WE'RE EXCITED ABOUT

PAYING BACK SOME OF THE

UTILITIES WHO HELPED UP

WITH SUPERSTORM SANDY IN

2012.

Reporter: WE CAUGHT

UP WITH MAR MARCO RUBIO.

HE SURVEYED THE SIZE AND

SCOPE OF HURRICANE IRMA.

USUALLY YOU WONDER WHAT

CITY DID IT HIT?

DID IT HIT MIAMI,

JACKSONVILLE -- THE ANSWER

IS IT HIT THEM ALL.

Reporter: WHAT WERE

YOU PRAYING AND WHAT IS

YOUR PRAYER NOW?

OBVIOUSLY, I WAS

PRAYING IT WOULD TURN OFF

AND GO SOMEWHERE ELSE.

AND MY SECOND PRAYER, IF

IT WERE GOING TO HIT US,

THAT IT WOULD NOT BE THE

WORST-CASE SCENARIO.

AND I PRAYED FOR THE

PEOPLE WHO WERE RISKING

THEIR LIVES, PULLING

PEOPLE OUT.

THOSE ARE THE PEOPLE I

HOPE WE'LL CONTINUE TO

REMEMBER AND TREASURE FOR

WHAT THEY DID FOR US.

Reporter: HIS

RESIDENTS WERE GRATEFUL

FOR THE HELP THEY RECEIVED

FROM CBN'S "OPERATION

BLESSING."

THE O.B. TEAM SPENT THE

DAY IN NAPLES ON TUESDAY,

PROVIDING PEOPLE WITH

FOOD, WATER, AND HYGIENE

SUPPLIES.

AS THIS TRUCK IS BEING

UNLOADED, THERE ARE

RESIDENTS STANDING HERE

WAITING FOR FOOD, WATER,

PERSONAL HYGIENE ITEMS.

Reporter: THIS

RESIDENT SAID MANY PEOPLE

ARE STUCK INSIDE THEIR

HOMES WITHOUT FOOD OR

WATER.

WE GOT AN ALERT ON

Facebook THAT "OPERATION

BLESSING" WAS GIVING AWAY

FOOD AT 3 p.m.

AND I'M, LIKE, WOW.

THEY ARE GIVING US FOOD

AND WATER AND GIVING US A

SIGN OF HOPE THAT SOMEBODY

IS OUT THERE LOOKING OUT

FOR US.

WE'RE NOT IN THIS ALONE.

Reporter: GARY LANE,

CBN NEWS, JACKSONVILLE,

FLORIDA.

Gordon: WHEN DISASTER

STRIKES, WE WANT TO STRIKE

BACK WITH LOVE AND

COMPASSION TO LET PEOPLE

KNOW WE LOVE THEM, GOD

LOVES THEM.

IF YOU'RE A MEMBER OF "700

CLUB," YOU'RE PART OF

THAT.

A PORTION OF EVERY GIFT

GOES INTO THE WORK OF

"OPERATION BLESSING."

SO THANK YOU.

YOU'RE PART OF THE RELIEF

EFFORT GOING ON NOW IN

TEXAS AND FLORIDA.

WE'LL BE BACK WITH MORE OF

"THE 700 CLUB" RIGHT AFTER

THIS.

Gordon: WELL, BRENT

AND BRENDA FULBRIGHT HAVE

BEEN ON BOTH SIDES OF "FOR

RICHER OR POORER."

THIS MARRIED COUPLE HAS

ALWAYS MADE SURE TO HELP

THOSE LESS FORTUNATE AND

IT HAS ALWAYS PAID OFF.

Reporter: BRETT AND

BRENDA LIVE IN THE PACIFIC

NORTHWEST WHERE THEY HAVE

WHAT MANY CALL "THE GOOD

LIFE."

THEY RECENTLY BOUGHT A

24-ACRE CATTLE RANCH.

A LOT OF PEOPLE WILL

LOOK AT IT AND SAY, OH,

THEY JUST GET ALL OF THE

LUCKY BREAKS.

THEY'RE ALWAYS IN THE

RIGHT PLACE AT THE RIGHT

TIME.

I DON'T BELIEVE THAT.

Reporter: THE TRUTH

IS BRENT HASN'T ALWAYS HAD

IT EASY, NOR HAS THIS

FAMILY ALWAYS GOTTEN THE

LUCKY BREAKS.

WHEN THEY WERE FIRST

MARRIED, THEY WERE

COUNTING THEIR PENNIES,

EATING RAMAN NOODLES AND

UNABLE TO AFFORD

FURNITURE.

BRENT SAYS THAT CHANGED

BECAUSE OF HIS DESIRE TO

HELP OTHERS AROUND HIM.

WHENEVER HE SAW A NEED,

HE WOULD GIVE.

I WAS HOLDING ON TIGHTER,

THINKING WE CAN'T DO THIS.

Reporter: BRENT'S

MOTHER HAD TAUGHT HIM THE

VALUE OF GIVING,

ESPECIALLY DURING

FINANCIALLY DIFFICULT

TIMES.

HE TOOK THAT LESSON TO

HEART.

ONE DAY WHEN HE ONLY HAD

$20 LEFT FOR GAS, HE GAVE

A STRANGER $10 FOR GAS,

WHO NEEDED IT.

I'M THINKING, HOW AM I

GOING TO GET TO WORK?

WITHIN A COUPLE OF DAYS,

WE GOT AN INSURANCE REFUND

CHECK FOR LIKE $160, AND

WE HAD NO IDEA IT WAS

COMING.

IT WAS A BLESSING FOR

GIVING THAT LADY $10.

AND BY DOING THAT, I HAD

PLENTY OF GAS TO MAKE IT

TO WORK.

Reporter: FROM THEN

ON, BRENDA WAS CONVINCED

GIVING WAS THE RIGHT THING

TO DO.

BOTH BRENT AND BRENDA

STARTED LOOKING FOR MORE

OPPORTUNITIES TO GIVE, AND

SOON BECAME CBN PARTNERS.

WATCHING "THE 700 CLUB"

AND SEEING ALL OF THE GOOD

THAT THEY DO, I JUST

WANTED TO BE A SMALL PART

OF THAT.

I COULDN'T GO OUT THERE

AND DO IT MYSELF, BUT I

SURE COULD HELP WITH

MONEY.

EVERYTHING THAT WE HAVE

BELONGS TO GOD ANYWAY.

Reporter: THE

FULBRIGHTS CONTINUED TO

GIVE, AND ALONG THE WAY

THEY SAW THEIR BUSINESS

TAKE OFF AND THEIR INCOME

INCREASE.

THEN CAME A TEST OF THEIR

FAITH.

WE HAD FOUR JOBS THAT

DIDN'T GO RIGHT.

IT'S LIKE EVERY CORNER WE

TURNED, WE RAN INTO A

WALL.

AND THEN WE HAD ONE BIG

JOB THAT WAS HORRIBLE.

Reporter: THE COUPLE

GOT TO THE EDGE OF THEIR

BUSINESS CREDIT LINE.

THEY HAD NO WAY TO PAY

THEIR OVERHEAD, AND FACED

THE POSSIBILITY OF LOSING

THEIR COMPANY, THEIR HOME,

AND EVERYTHING ELSE THEY

OWNED.

WE WERE SHOOK TO THE

CORE, BUT, YOU KNOW, WE

DIDN'T WAIVER IN OUR

FAITH.

THAT'S WHEN GOD PUT ON

MY HEART THAT WE NEEDED TO

DO THE WELLS, WHEN IT WAS

REALLY TOUGH.

AND I THOUGHT, NOW?

SO WE DID IT.

AND THIS YEAR IT IS JUST

BOOMING.

YOU GO OUT AND HELP

OTHER PEOPLE AND YOU GET

REWARDED FOR IT.

Reporter: TODAY BRENT

AND BRENDA HAVE FIVE HUGE

CONTRACTS AND THEY'RE

LOOKING FORWARD TO A

COMFORTABLE RETIREMENT ON

THEIR CATTLE RANCH.

THEY CHALLENGE OTHERS

GOING THROUGH FINANCIAL

TROUBLE TO GIVE FREELY AND

WITH EXPECTATION, LIKE

THEY DO.

GOD SAYS TO TEST HIM IN

THAT.

HE IS ALWAYS THERE TO TAKE

CARE OF YOU.

WHEN YOU'RE STRUGGLING

AND YOU NEED SOMETHING,

THAT'S PROBABLY WHEN YOU

NEED TO LOOK AT GIVING

MORE.

IT MAKES GOD HAPPY.

HE LIKES THAT.

Gordon: HE KNOWS THAT

YOU TRUST HIM.

IF YOU'RE STRUGGLING AND

YOU SAY, I'M STILL GOING

TO GIVE.

I'M STILL GOING TO HELP

THOSE WHO ARE LESS

FORTUNATE THAN ME.

WHEN YOU DO THAT, IT SHOWS

THAT YOU TRUST HIM.

AND IT SHOWS THAT GOD,

YOU'RE MY SOURCE; YOU'RE

MY PROVIDER.

HERE IT IS FROM PROVERBS

19: "IF YOU HELP THE POOR,

YOU ARE LENDING TO THE

LORD, AND HE WILL REPAY

YOU."

WHAT HAPPENED TO BRENT AND

BRENDA WILL HAPPEN TO YOU

IF YOU FOLLOW THE SAME

PRINCIPLE.

> WELL, OVER THE PAST

FEW YEARS, OIL PRICES HAVE

PLUNGED, AND MANY AMERICAN

OIL COMPANIES HAVE DONE

BANKRUPT.

THAT WASN'T THE CASE FOR

ONE DRILLER IN ARIZONA.

WHAT MANY SAW AS A CRISIS,

SHE VIEWED AS AN

OPPORTUNITY.

Reporter: PARALEE

KNOWS THE OIL INDUSTRY IS

ONE OF BOOMS AND BUSTS.

OVER THE LAST FEW YEARS,

SHE HAS SEEN THOUSANDS OF

COMPANIES LIKE HER GO OUT

OF BUSINESS.

I KNEW THERE WAS A

GREAT OPPORTUNITY.

SO INSTEAD OF OF SHUTTING

EVERYTHING DOWN, WHICH

WOULD BE THE WORLD'S

ECONOMY, I STARTED RAISING

MONEY TO BUY ACCESS, AND

TO BUY MINERAL RIGHTS.

AND SO NOW WE HAVE ALL OF

THESE GREAT PLACES ALL

OVER THE UNITED STATES

WHERE WE CAN DRILL, AND WE

ACQUIRED THEM AT

ROCK-BOTTOM PRICES.

Reporter: THERE IS

ANOTHER ESSENTIAL RULE

THAT PARALEE FOLLOWS

DURING ANY DOWNTURN: SHE

GIVES HER MONEY AWAY

THROUGH TITHES AND

OFFERINGS.

PAY GOD FIRST NO MATTER

WHAT.

I KNOW IF I GIVE, HE

GIVES.

WHEN I STARTED TITHING, I

NOTICED THE INCOME OF MY

COMPANY IS DRAMATICALLY

INCREASING BY, I WOULD

GUESS, 70%.

Reporter: SHE SAYS

SHE HAS PROOF NOT ONLY HAS

HER COMPANY GROWN, BUT

THAT THE GROWTH IS

DIRECTLY RELATED TO HER

GIVING.

SHE ASKED HER BOOKKEEPER

TO MAKE A GRAPH TO CHART

THE CORRELATION.

I KEEP IT UPDATED EVERY

MONTH.

THE MIRACULOUS PART IS THE

INCOME MATCHED THE PEAKS

AND VALLEYS IDENTICALLY.

BUT IT WAS 400% GREATER

THAN WHAT I GAVE.

Reporter: SHE SAYS AS

A BUSINESS WOMAN, SHE

CAREFULLY CHOOSES WHERE

SHE GIVES.

SHE AS BEEN A CBN PARTNER

SINCE 2010, AND RECENTLY

BECAME A MEMBER OF THE

CHAIRMAN'S CIRCLE.

WHAT TRULY MOVE ME WAS

HEARING TERRY MEEUWSEN

TALK ABOUT "ORPHANS'

PROMISE." I LOVE CHILDREN.

I DO NOT HAVE ANY

CHILDREN.

BY GIVING TO THEM, I CAN

HELP ALL THESE CHILDREN.

I AM VERY DRIVEN TO RUN

THE OIL COMPANY NOT TO GET

MORE THINGS.

I COULDN'T CARE LESS ABOUT

THAT.

I DO IT SO I CAN HELP

OTHER PEOPLE.

BEING A GIVER MAKES ALL OF

THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A

LIFE OF FEAR AND STRUGGLE

OR A LIFE OF SUCCESS AND

JOY AND FAITH.

IT DOESN'T MEAN THERE

WON'T BE STORMS.

THERE WILL BE.

BUT YOU HAVE TO GIVE IN

ORDER TO EVEN HAVE A SHOT

AT BEING SUCCESSFUL.

AND IF YOU JUST STICK IT

OUT, GOD WILL SHOW YOU AND

IT WILL HAPPEN.

Gordon: IF YOU STICK

IT OUT, GOD WILL SHOW YOU.

HERE IT IS FROM 1 TIMOTHY

6: "TELL THOSE WHO ARE

RICH NOT TO BE PROUD AND

NOT TO TRUST IN THEIR

MONEY.

TELL THEM TO USE THEIR

MONEY TO DO GOOD.

THEY SHOULD BE RICH IN

GOOD WORKS AND SHOULD

HAPPILY GIVE TO THOSE IN

NEED, ALWAYS BEING READY

TO SHARE WITH OTHERS

WHATEVER GOD HAS GIVEN

THEM.

BY DOING THIS, THEY WILL

BE STORING UP REAL

TREASURE FOR THEMSELVES IN

HEAVEN."

AND PARALEE SAW THE NEED

IN ORPHANS.

AND WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE

NEED OF ORPHANS, WE'RE ALL

RICH.

SO LET'S STORE UP TREASURE

IN HEAVEN BECAUSE THAT HAS

AN ETERNAL REWARD.

SOME PARTNERS FROM

MASSACHUSETTS AND NEW YORK

ARE SAYING THEY WANT TO

CHALLENGE OTHERS TO GIVE.

SO THEY'LL MATCH YOUR

GIVING $64,000.

[APPLAUSE]

Gordon: LET'S PRAY.

LORD, WE JUST ASK FOR

BLESSING OVER THIS.

WE JUST ASK FOR YOUR PEACE

RIGHT NOW.

LET YOUR PEACE COME INTO

OUR HEARTS AND MINDS.

LET US KNOW THAT YOU HAVE

OUR FUTURE.

SO, LORD, AS WE LOOK AT

THE DEVASTATION IN TEXAS

AND IN FLORIDA, WE JUST

ASK FOR YOUR PEACE TO BE

THERE.

AND ENABLE US TO PROVIDE,

PROVIDE YOUR LOVE, YOUR

CARE, YOUR COMPASSION, AND

THE NEEDS FOR THE PEOPLE

THERE.

ENABLE US, LORD GOD, FOR

WE ASK IT IN JESUS' NAME.

AMEN.

NOW, YOU HEARD IT, A

$64,000 CHALLENGE.

WHAT WE'RE ASKING YOU TO

DO IS TO BE A MEMBER OF

"THE 700 CLUB."

HOW MUCH IS THAT?

JUST $20 A MONTH, 65 CENTS

CALL NOW, 1-800-700-7000.

Terry: WHEN YOU DO

BECOME A CBN PARTNER,

WE'VE GOT A GIFT FOR YOU.

IT IS THIS FREE D.V.D.

IN IT PAT ANSWERS SOME OF

LIFE'S MOST CHALLENGING

QUESTIONS.

IT IS COMING FROM YOU, OUR

VIEWERS, BUT THE ANSWERS

ARE COMING FROM THE BIBLE.

IT'S CALLED "ASK

ANYTHING."

TAKE A LOOK.

Pat: "ASK ANYTHING,"

AND PEOPLE HAVE DONE JUST

THAT.

Terry: THAT'S JUST A

SNEAK PEEK AT A LITTLE BIT

OF WHAT IS ON "ASK

ANYTHING."

THIS IS OUR GIFT TO YOU

WHEN YOU JOIN "THE 700

CLUB" TODAY.

IT IS OUR WAY OF SAYING

THANK YOU FOR CARING ABOUT

OTHER PEOPLE AND FOR

CHOOSING TO MAKE A

DIFFERENCE.

WILL YOU CALL US NOW?

OUR NUMBER IS

WE'RE IN THE MIDDLE OF A

CHALLENGE NOW.

SO THAT MEANS EVERY SINGLE

DOLLAR YOU PLEDGE WILL BE

MATCHED DOLLAR FOR DOLLAR.

YOUR GIVING GOES TWICE AS

FAR.

LET US HEAR FROM YOU.

GORDON?

Gordon: RANDY AND

KAREN LIVED A LAVISH

LIFESTYLE FOR THE FIRST

TWO YEARS OF THEIR

MARRIAGE.

IF THEY WANTED TO GO

SOMEWHERE OR BUY

SOMETHING, THEY SIMPLY

SAID, CHARGE IT, USING ONE

OF THEIR 20 CREDIT CARDS.

BEFORE LONG, THEY WERE

DROWNING IN DEBT.

BUT INSTEAD OF GOING

UNDER, HERE IS HOW THEY

ENDED UP ON TOP.

Reporter: RANDY AND

KAREN PARLOR WORKED HARD

TO BUILD THEIR CAREERS AND

LIVE DEBT-FREE.

BUT THEY SAY IT WAS

APPLYING GOD'S PRINCIPLES

ABOUT FINANCES AND GIVING

THAT MADE ALL OF THE

DIFFERENCE.

HE HAS BLESSED US

BEYOND WHAT WE EVER COULD

HAVE THOUGHT OF.

Reporter: BUT AS

NEWLYWEDS, RANDY AND KAREN

HAD VERY DIFFERENT

ATTITUDES ABOUT MONEY AND

SUCCESS.

I WANTED THE SAME

THINGS I SAW OTHER PEOPLE

AROUND ME, YOU KNOW,

WANTING AND GETTING.

IT WAS NORMAL.

YOU KNOW, THE AMERICAN

DREAM.

Reporter: IN THE

FIRST TWO YEARS THEY WERE

MARRIED, THEY LIVED A LIFE

FILLED WITH PARTIES,

TRAVEL, AND LAVISH

SPENDING, ALL ON CREDIT.

I'D SAY I HAD PROBABLY

ABOUT 20 CARDS.

THAT WAS A WAY TO GET THE

THINGS THAT I WANTED.

IT WAS SO EASY.

YOU KNOW, YOU PULLED IT

OUT, CHARGED IT.

Reporter: BEFORE

LONG, THEY HAD $63,000 IN

CREDIT CARD DEBT, TWO

LARGE CAR LOANS, AND A

HEFTY MONTHLY MORTGAGE.

WE WERE IN THAT

BIG-DEBT BONDAGE.

WE FELL INTO THAT TRAP.

Reporter: BUT THE

DECISION TO CHANGE THEIR

DIRECTION CAME A YEAR

LATER.

RANDY'S BROTHER DIED

UNEXPECTANTLY, LEAVING

RANDY TO TAKE A DEEPER

LOOK AT HOW HE WAS LIVING.

I KNEW AT THAT MOMENT I

NEEDED TO GIVE MY LIFE TO

THE LORD.

Reporter: RANDY BEGAN

TO SEARCH THE BIBLE, AND

HE FOUND THAT GOD HAD A

LOT TO SAY ABOUT HOW TO

LIVE AND HOW TO HANDLE

MONEY.

I FELT THE LORD'S

STRONG IMPRESSION.

AND HE SAID, YOU SHOULD

START TITHING.

Reporter: RANDY WAS

EAGER TO LEARN MORE ABOUT

GOD'S FINANCIAL

PRINCIPLES.

HE FOUND MANY OF THE

ANSWERS WATCHING "THE 700

CLUB."

PAT TALKED ABOUT THE

LAW OF RESIPROCITY AND

BUDGETING.

Reporter: RANDY GOT A

STRICT BUDGET, WHICH MEANT

GIVING UP HER CREDIT

CARDS.

BUT KAREN WASN'T READY TO

GIVE UP HER CREDIT CARDS.

I CAN'T LIVE LIKE THAT,

ARE YOU KIDDING ME?

Reporter: SOON, KAREN

ACCEPTED CHRIST, TOO.

SHE GOT ON BOARD WITH

RANDY'S PLANS TO USE GOD'S

PRINCIPLES FOR THEIR

MONEY.

WE DECIDED TO GET OUT

OF DEBT BECAUSE, ONE, THAT

IS NOT GOD'S PLANS FOR US.

WE ARE NOT GOING TO BE

SLAVE TO THE LENDER.

Reporter: AT FIRST

RANDY WASN'T SURE HOW THEY

COULD KEEP UP WITH BILLS,

PAY OFF THEIR DEBT, AND

TITHE.

WHEN 10 PLUS PERCENT IS

NOT ALREADY INCLUDED IN

WHAT YOU DO, YES, IT IS A

RADICAL CHANGE.

Reporter: BUT AFTER

SEVERAL MONTHS, THE COUPLE

WAS AMAZED BY THEIR BOTTOM

LINE.

AND I CAN'T SAY THAT I

KNOW EXACTLY HOW WE DIDN'T

MISS SOMETHING BECAUSE ON

PAPER, IT LOOKED AS IF WE

JUST WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO

PAY EVERYTHING.

Reporter: AFTER SIX

YEARS OF DILIGENTLY

FOLLOWING GOD'S

PRINCIPLES, THEY PAID OFF

THEIR $63,000 IN DEBT AND

THEN THEIR MORTGAGE.

WHERE YOU CAN SEE GOD

REALLY WORKING, WE HAD

PAID EVERYTHING OFF.

OUR INCOME HAS PROBABLY

TRIPLED.

BEING OUT OF DEBT, WE

HAVE PEACE.

WE CAN HELP OTHERS.

Reporter: THAT'S WHY

IN 2004 THEY STARTED

GIVING TO CBN AT THE

THOUSAND CLUB LEVEL.

THEY WERE DOING THINGS

IN A LOT OF AREAS.

DIGGING WELLS, PROVIDING

MEDICAL ATTENTION,

ESTABLISHING HOMES FOR

ORPHANS.

WE WANT TO SEE THE CBN

WORWORKTHAT CBN DOES, THAT'S WHY

WE GIVE.

Reporter: THEY KNOW

SUCCESS ISN'T ABOUT WHAT

THEY HAVE, IT IS ABOUT

WHAT THEY GIVE.

ASK GOD TO PLANT A

DESIRE IN YOUR HEART TO

GIVE RATHER THAN TO HAVE

STUFF, AND TO KNOW IN YOUR

HEART THAT GOD WILL TAKE

CARE OF ALL YOUR NEEDS

ACCORDING TO HIS RICHES

AND GLORY.

THAT'S ALL YOU HAVE TO

DO, IS TO BE FAITHFUL IN

WHAT HE ASKS YOU TO DO.

BLESSINGS WILL COME.

HE WILL GIVE YOU THE

DESIRES OF YOUR HEART.

Gordon: ALL YOU HAVE

TO DO IS BE FAITHFUL.

HERE IS A PROMISE FROM

ISAIAH: "IF YOU WILL ONLY

OBEY ME AND LET ME HELP

YOU, THEN YOU WILL HAVE

PLENTY."

AND THAT IS TRUE.

GOD STANDS OVER HIS WORD

TO PERFORM IT.

HE'LL PERFORM IT FOR YOU

IF YOU JUST FOLLOW THE

SAME PRINCIPLES.

OBEY HIM, AND THEN YOU

WILL HAVE PLENTY.

IF YOU WANT TO START DOING

THAT, GIVE US A CALL:

1-800-700-7000.

WE'RE IN A $64,000

CHALLENGE.

LET US GET THE RED NUMBER

UP.

$39,000 TO GO AGAINST IT

WITH 37 MINUTES.

CALL US NOW:

1-800-700-7000.

LET'S GO TO WENDY AT THE

PHONES.

Wendy: THANKS,

GORDON.

WELL, YOU'VE HEARD GORDON

TALK ABOUT THE LAW OF

RESIPROCITY, AND IF YOU'VE

GOT QUESTIONS ABOUT HOW IT

WORKS, YOU'RE NOT ALONE.

IN OUR D.V.D., "ASK

ANYTHING," PAT SHARES WITH

A VIEWER EXACTLY HOW

GIVING UNLOCKS GOD'S

BLESSINGS IN YOUR LIFE.

HERE IS A QUESTION FROM

CAROL.

"WHEN A FAMILY ISN'T

GIVING A FULL TITHE OR ANY

TITHE TO THEIR CHURCH OR

MINISTRY, DOES THAT LIMIT

GOD'S FINANCIAL BLESSING

IN THEIR LIVES?"

Pat: THERE IS

SOMETHING ABOUT GOD BEING

A PARTNER.

THE BIBLE SAYS, GIVE AND

IT WILL BE GIVEN UNTO YOU,

PRESSED DOWN, A GOOD

MEASURE -- THERE ARE FOUR

SURGICASUPERLIERLITIVES IN THERE.

YOU DON'T WAIT FOR HIM TO

DO SOMETHING.

YOU START IT YOURSELF.

SO WHETHER IT IS $10, OR

$20, OR $5, GIVE UNTO THE

LORD, AND WATCH HIM GIVE

MORE AND MORE, AND THE

LORD WILL BLESS.

THAT'S THE LAW OF

RESIPROCITY.

Wendy: THE BIBLE

SAYS, "MY PEOPLE PERISH

FOR LACK OF KNOWLEDGE."

LISTEN, IF YOU NEED

WISDOM, THE BIBLE ALSO

SAYS ASK.

IF YOU HAVE QUESTIONS,

ASK.

GOD IS NOT A STINGY GOD.

HE WANTS TO GIVE YOU THE

WISDOM YOU NEED TO LIVE

THE LIFE HE HAS DESTINED

FOR YOU.

THAT'S WHY WE PUT TOGETHER

THIS "ASK ANYTHING."

THESE ARE THE ANSWERS YOU

NEED FOR THE PROBLEMS YOU

FACE.

AND, GUESS WHAT?

IT'S FREE IF YOU CALL

RIGHT NOW AND SAY, YES, I

WANT TO JOIN "THE 700

CLUB."

65 CENTS A DAY, $20 A

MONTH, IS ALL IT TAKES TO

BECOME A CBN PARTNER.

NOW, A LOT OF YOU ARE

ALREADY THERE.

SO I JUST WANT TO SAY

THANK YOU SO MUCH BECAUSE

YOU'RE MAKING A HUGE

DIFFERENCE.

BUT IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO

MAKE A BIGGER DIFFERENCE,

AND WHO DOESN'T, LET'S GO

UP TO OUR GOLD LEVEL, $HO

A MONTH.

$40

A MONTH.

IF YOU CAN GO A LITTLE

HIGHER, OUR THOUSAND CLUB

LEVEL, $84 A MONTH OR

FIRE, AND WE'RE GOING TO

BLESS YOU BACK WITH FIVE

OF PAT'S NEW TEACHING OF

"ASK ANYTHING: BIBLICAL

ANSWERS TO TODAY'S MOST

PROBING QUESTIONS."

THIS IS OUR GIFT TO YOU

RIGHT NOW WHEN YOU GIVE US

A CALL.

TERRY?

Terry: SOME TEXANS

HAVE LIVED IN THE SAME

PLACE FOR DECADES, BUT

WHEN THE HURRICANE HIT,

THEY HAD TO FLEE.

Reporter: WHEN THE

RELENTLESS RAIN OF

HURRICANE HARVEY CAUSED

CATASTROPHIC FLOODING IN

EAST TEXAS, MOST TEXANS

HAD NEVER SEEN ANYTHING

LIKE IT.

I WAS HERE IN THIS

HOUSE, AND I LIVED HERE

FOR 50 YEARS, AND NEVER

HAD ANY WATER COME INTO MY

YARD, MUCH LESS INTO MY

HOUSE.

Reporter: THE

SMALL-STEADY STREAM FLOWS

IN FRONT OF HENRY'S CURB,

BUT AT THE HEIGHT OF THE

STORM, IT REACHED SIX

FEET, WHERE UP UNTIL A FEW

WEEKS AGO, HOSTED HIS

SEVEN GRANDCHILDREN.

THEY REMEMBER THE

TERRIFYING NIGHT WHEN THE

WATER WOULDN'T STOP

RISING.

HE DIDN'T HAVE MUCH

TIME AT ALL.

BEFORE HE KNEW IT, IT WAS

MIDWAY TO THE DRIVEWAY,

AND THE NEXT THING IT WAS

COMING UP INTO THE GARAGE

AND HAVING TO BE

EVACUATED.

EVENTUALLY THE POLICE

AND SOME PEOPLE COME IN

AND SAID, YOU'VE GOT TO

GET OUT.

YOU'VE GOT A FEW MINUTES.

SO I JUST GRABBED WHAT I

COULD.

Reporter: EVERYTHING

LEFT BEHIND WAS DESTROYED.

WHEN THE FLOODWATERS

RECEDED, "OPERATION

BLESSING" SPRUNG INTO

ACTION.

I HAD NO IDEA YOU GUYS

WERE COMING.

SEEING MAKES YOU BELIEVE.

NEVER LOSE FAITH.

Reporter: REMOVING

WATER-LOGGED CARPETS AND

KNOCKING OUT MOLDING

WALLS, "OPERATION

BLESSING" VOLUNTEERS

HELPED TURN A NIGHTMARE

INTO A CHANCE FOR RENEWED

FAITH.

THERE ARE MORE GOOD

PEOPLE THAN I THOUGHT

THERE WAS.

I MEAN, EVERYBODY HAS BEEN

SO HELPFUL HERE.

I'M JUST OVERWHELMED.

I CAN'T SAY THE RIGHT

WORDS TO EVEN COME CLOSE

TO EXPRESSING HOW GRATEFUL

I AM.

Terry: LISTEN, YOU'RE

THE GOOD PEOPLE HE'S

TALKING ABOUT.

AND THERE ARE LOTS OF YOU.

WE SAY THANK YOU "700

CLUB" MEMBERS.

WE ARE DOWN IN TEXAS.

WE ARE DOWN IN FLORIDA

BECAUSE YOU MAKE THAT

POSSIBLE.

AND THAT'S JUST SOME OF

WHAT YOU'RE DOING.

YOU'RE A ALSO GOING AROUND

THE WORLD WHEN YOU JOIN

"THE 700 CLUB."

THAT'S WHY WE WANT TO SAY

THANK YOU.

IT IS 65 CENTS A DAY, $20

A MONTH, TO BECOME A "700

CLUB" MEMBER.

SOME ARE ALREADY "700

CLUB" GOLD MEMBERS, AND

THAT'S $40 A MONTH.

WE SO APPRECIATE THAT.

AND MANY OF YOU HAVE GONE

UP TO THE THOUSAND CLUB

LEVEL, AND THAT'S $84 A

MONTH.

YOU MIGHT WANT TO CONSIDER

THE 2500 LEVEL, AND THAT'S

$2500 A YEAR.

AND WE HAVE SOME FOLKS WHO

JOIN US AT THE CHAIRMAN

CIRCLE LEVEL, WHICH IS

$10,000 OR MORE A YEAR.

CALL WITH ANTICIPATION

KNOWING THAT YOU

IMMEDIATELY MAKING A

DIFFERENCE, AND GOD IS

GOING TO BLESS YOUR HEART

AND YOUR CONCERN FOR

OTHERS.

GORDON?

Gordon: THE AERIAL

SHOTS OF ROCKPORT, TEXAS,

ARE SHOWING DEVASTATION.

SO CLEANUP CREWS FROM

"OPERATION BLESSING" ARE

ON THE GROUND.

THEY'RE RESTORING HOMES,

AND IN THE WORDS OF ONE

RESIDENT, "GIVING US OUR

LIVES BACK."

Reporter: ROCKPORT

HAD ALWAYS BEEN A FAVORITE

VACATION SPOT FOR MIKE AND

LOIS ROGERS.

IT WAS ALWAYS A DREAM

TO MOVE HERE, AND WE DID.

Reporter: WHEN

HURRICANE HARVEY FORMED IN

THE GULF, THEY PREPARED TO

EVACUATE.

WE HAD PACKED UP FOR

THREE OTHER HURRICANES,

BORDERED THE HOUSE -- IT

TAKES A TREMENDOUS AMOUNT

OF WORK TO LEAVE FOR A

HURRICANE.

MY HUSBAND HAD BEEN QUITE

ILL THIS TIME.

Reporter: BECAUSE

MIKE WAS BATTLING CANCER,

HE WAS WORN OUT.

DAYS LATER THEY WERE GLAD

TO FIND OUT THAT THEIR

HOME WASN'T DESTROYED IN

THE HURRICANE.

BUT THEY WERE HEART SICK

WHEN THEY SAW THREE CITY

AND THEIR NEIGHBORS' LOSS.

I GO AROUND AND LOOK AT

THESE PEOPLE, AND THEY'VE

JUST GOT NOTHING, I MEAN

NOTHING.

THAT'S REALLY

HEARTBREAKING.

IT REALLY IS.

WE DIDN'T KNOW WHAT TO DO

NEXT.

Reporter: HARVEY'S

CATEGORY 4 WINDS CAUSED

DAMAGE TO THEIR ROOF AND

WALLS AND RAIN INUNDATED

THEIR WALLS.

THEY STARTED TURNING

BLACK.

THE WHOLE THING WAS MOLD

EVERYWHERE.

Reporter: MIKE AND

LOIS KNEW THEY NEEDED TO

SALVAGE WHAT WAS LEFT OF

THEIR BELONGINGS

IMMEDIATELY, AND MIKE

COULD RISK WORKING IN A

MOLDY HOUSE.

THEY HAD NO IDEA WHO WAS

GOING TO HELP MOVE ALL OF

THE MOLDY ITEMS IN AND

AROUND THEIR HOME.

THEN THEY HEARD ABOUT

"OPERATION BLESSING."

WE NOTICED DOWN THE

ROAD THEY WERE CLEANING

UP.

AND WE SCA ASKED A NEIGHBOR,

WHO ARE THOSE PEOPLE?

AND THEY SAID, THAT'S

"OPERATION BLESSING."

Reporter: MIKE AND

LOIS CONTACTED THE

"OPERATION BLESSING"

COMMAND CENTER IN DOWNTOWN

ROCKPORT, AND A SALVAGE

CREW ARRIVED THERE THE

NEXT DAY.

"OPERATION BLESSING" IS

HELPING US MOVE ALL OF OUR

THINGS THAT ARE SALVAGABLE

OUT OF THERE.

THAT'S WHY "OPERATION

BLESSING" IS SUCH A

WONDERFUL THING.

BECAUSE WITHOUT THEM, WE

WERE GOING TO HAVE TO

ACTUALLY PACK UP AND LEAVE

AGAIN.

THERE IS NO WAY WE COULD

HAVE STAYED HERE WITHOUT

ALL OF THE HELP FROM THEM.

WITHOUT ALL OF THE

VOLUNTEER WORK, IT COULD

NOT GET DONE.

BEST OF ALL, HOW SHE CAN

PLACED ON THEIR FAMILIES,

AND HOW DO I GET RID OF

IT?"

Pat: THERE ARE

PROBLEMS THAT COME UPON

PEOPLE'S LIVES.

HOW DO YOU START THE DAY

OFF?

OH, MY BONES AND ACHING.

I HATE GOING TO THE

YOU JUST CURSED YOURSELF.

BUT YOU SAY, THIS IS THE

GORDON?

Gordon: FOR 10 YEARS,

JONATHAN HAD BEEN LIVING

THE GOOD LIFE.

HE HAD A GOOD JOB AND A

SECURE FUTURE.

WITHIN FOUR MONTHS, HE

LOST HIS JOB AND HE WAS

DIAGNOSED WITH CANCER.

Reporter: JOHN LIVES

IN THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST,

WHERE HE SURVEYS LAND AND

NEGOTIATES TIMBER

CONTRACTS.

FOR A DECADE, HE WAS THE

PICTURE OF SUCCESS.

I HAD A SIX-FOGGFIGURE JOB

WITH A COMPANY CAR AND A

RETIREMENT PLAN AND A

36-FOOT BOAT I COULD MOOR

AT THE MARINA.

Reporter: THIMARINA.

Reporter: THEN IN

2008, HE LOST HIS JOB, AND

AT THE SAME TIME HE WAS

DIAGNOSED WITH CANCER.

WHAT DO YOU DO WHEN

YOUR DOCTOR SAYS YOU HAVE

A TUMOR AND YOU NEED

RADIATION AND

CHEMOTHERAPY.

YOU DO IT.

Reporter: HE SOLD HIS

ASSETS, EXHAUSTED HIS

SAVINGS, AND CASHED IN HIS

401K IN AN EFFORT TO MAKE

ENDS MEET AND PAY HIS

MEDICAL BILLS.

AT TIMES THEY WENT TO

COLLECTION, AND SO IT HURT

MY CREDIT.

I WAS GOING TO BE WITHOUT

ANYTHING.

LOSING MY CAR, LOSING MY

INSURANCE, LOSING MY CELL

PHONE -- IT'S NOT A GOOD

FEELING.

Reporter: SPORADIC

WORK AND MULTIPLE TUMORS

FOLLOWED.

THEN AT 52, JOHN MOVED

HOME WITH HIS MOTHER.

IT IS TOUGH FOR A MAN

TO DO, TO ASK FOR HELP, TO

SAY, I CAN'T DO IT.

TOUGH FOR A

SELF-SUSTAINING MAN.

SORT OF AN ALL-TIME LOW.

THAT'S WHEN I TURNED BACK

TO GOD.

I SAID, OKAY, GOD, I'LL

TRUST IN YOU; YOU HELP ME

GET OUT OF THESE

CIRCUMSTANCES.

Reporter: JOHN HAD

JUST UNDER $300 WHEN HE

SAYS HIS PRAYER WAS

ANSWERED.

HE WAS WATCHING "THE 700

CLUB."

TERRY TALKED ABOUT

GIVING $20.

AND I'VE ALWAYS BEEN

TOUCHED BY THE STORIES

THAT "THE 700 CLUB" DO.

AND THE THOUGHT THAT WENT

THROUGH MY HEAD WAS,

WHAT'S $20?

I THINK THE HOLY SPIRIT

JUST PROMPTED ME TO DO

GIVE THAT.

I'D NEVER GIVEN TO A TV

MINISTRY BEFORE.

Reporter: JOHN CALLED

CBN AND PLEDGED $20 A

MONTH.

WITHIN TWO WEEKS, HE HAD

FOUR CLIENTS AND WAS BACK

IN THE TIMBER CONSULTING

BUSINESS, WORKING AS AN

INDEPENDENT CONTRACTOR.

THE LIGHT WENT OFF IN

MY HEAD.

I THOUGHT, THE ONLY THING

THAT HAS CHANGED BETWEEN

NOW AND THEN WAS THAT I

STARTED GIVING TO "700

CLUB."

AND IT BROUGHT TEARS TO MY

EYES.

AND I STOPPED AND PULLED

OVER AND I CALLED "THE 700

CLUB," AND I SAID, I WANT

TO RAISE MY GIFT FROM $20

TO $100.

Reporter: AND JOHN

ALSO STARTED TITHING TO

THIS CHURCH.

NOW HE HAS CONSISTENT

WORK, A FLEXIBLE SCHEDULE,

AND HE IS ABLE TO PAY ALL

OF HIS MEDICAL BILLS.

I HAVE MORE CONSULTING

WORK THAN I KNOW WHAT TO

DO WITH RIGHT NOW.

I'M ABLE TO PUT BACK INTO

SAVINGS AND MY 401K.

I DON'T THINK THERE ANY

WAY THAT COULD BE A

COINCIDENCE.

Reporter: HE

ENCOURAGES THOSE WHO NEED

A FINANCIAL TURNAROUND TO

START GIVING TO CBN.

IT IS A GREAT MINISTRY.

YOU SAY, LOOK, WE'RE

TIGHT.

WE CAN'T SQUEEZE ANOTHER

$100 OUT.

THEN GIVE $50, $40, $20.

I DON'T BELIEVE IN GIVING

TO GET.

THAT'S NOT MY MOTIVATION,

BUT I GAVE A LITTLE BIT

AND GOD BLESSED A LOT.

Gordon: GIVE A LITTLE

BIT, AND GOD WILL BLESS A

LOT.

I LOVE THAT.

HE FINALLY GOD THE WHOLE

KEY.

AND JOHN -- YOU SAW THE

TURNAROUND.

WHAT AN AMAZING TURNAROUND

IN HIS LIFE.

WHAT HAPPENED TO OTHERS

CAN HAPPEN TO YOU.

ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS

FOLLOW THE SAME PRINCIPLE.

WE CALL IT THE LAW OF

RESIPROCITY.

GIVE AND IT WILL BE GIVEN

UNTO YOU.

WE HAVE TO TAKE THAT FIRST

STEP TO SAY, OKAY, GOD, I

TRUST YOUR WORD.

I TRUST THAT YOU'RE MY

PROVIDER.

I TRUST YOU.

AND WHEN YOU DO THAT

TANGIBLY WITH YOUR

FINANCES, AMAZING THINGS

HAPPEN.

GIVE US A CALL:

1-800-700-7000 AND SAY, I

WANT TO JOIN "700 CLUB."

LET'S GET THE RED NUMBER

UP.

WE'VE GOT $76,000 TO GO.

SO WE'RE MORE THAN HALF

WAY TO THE GOAL.

CALL US NOW:

1-800-700-7000.

TERRY?

Terry: WELL, THE HUNT

FAMILY HAS ALWAYS ENJOYED

HELPING OUT THE HOMELESS,

BUT AFTER THEIR ATLANTA

NEIGHBORHOOD WAS FLOODED,

THEY WERE THE ONES WITHOUT

A HOME.

Reporter: WHEN PARTS

OF SUBURBA THEIR SUBURBAN ATLANTA

PROPERTY FLOODED --

THAT'S WHEN WE HAD TO

GET OUT.

Reporter: WHEN THEY

WERE ABLE TO RETURN HOME,

THEY FOUND EVERYTHING

CAKED IN MUD AND THE FIRST

FLOOR WAS DEMOLISHED.

I LOOKED AT THE

DEVASTATION, AND I WAS,

LIKE, WOW, WHERE DO I TURN

TO NOW?

Reporter: THEN JODY

AND HERE TEAM FROM

"OPERATION BLESSING" CAME

WALKING DOWN THEIR MUDDY

STREET.

TO THIS DAY, I TALK

ABOUT HOW THEY WERE ANGELS

SENT TO HELP US.

Reporter: THEY GOT

RIGHT TO WORK, TEARING

DOWN ALL OF THE DRYWALL.

AND STILL THEY HAD A LOT

LEFT TO DO.

ONE OF THEIR BIGGEST LOSS

WAS THEIR DOWNSTAIRS

PRAYER ROOM.

WE JUST LOOK FORWARD TO

THE DAY WE CAN ENJOY OUR

HOUSE AGAIN AND ENJOY OUR

FAMILY AND GO TO OUR

SPECIAL AREA AND HAVE OUR

MEETING WITH THE LORD.

THAT'S WHAT WE MISS THE

MOST.

Reporter: THE HUNTS

REALIZED THAT "OPERATION

BLESSING" WAS WORKING ON

THEIR DRYWALL, BUT WHAT

THEY DIDN'T REALIZE IS

JODY WAS WORKING ON A LOT

MORE.

THEY RENTED A HOUSE A FEW

MINUTES AWAY, BUT EVEN

DURING THOSE DIFFICULT

TIMES, THE FAMILY FOUND

TIME TO PRAY, COOK, AND

DELIVER FOOD AND BLANKETS

TO THE HOMELESS.

EVEN GOING THROUGH

THIS, I'M GOING TO FEED

THEM.

I'M GOING TO FEED THEM.

Reporter: THE WEEK

STARTED WITH COLD, POURING

RAIN, BUT THE CREW WORKED

ANYWAY.

PRETTY SOON THE ROOMS WERE

BEING TRANSFORMED.

OVER AT THEIR RENTAL

HOUSE, WILLIE WAS PRAYING

IN A STORAGE ROOM.

THEN THE DAY CAME FOR

THEIR BIG SURPRISE.

[CHEERING]

HALLELUJAH!

THANK YOU!

THANK YOU!

[CHEERING]

THANK YOU!

THANK YOU!

OH, MY GOD, THANK YOU!

[CHEERING]

LOOK AT THIS!

THIS IS SO BEAUTIFUL!

LOOK AT THIS!

YOU ARE SO AWESOME, GOD!

ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS.

LOOK AT THIS.

YES, WE WILL SERVE THE

LORD.

YES, WE WILL SERVE THE

LORD.

[APPLAUSE]

[CHEERING]

THANK YOU.

WE TRULY APPRECIATE THE

HUNT FAMILY AND APPRECIATE

EVERYTHING THAT "OPERATION

BLESSING" AND CBN AND ALL

OF THEIR DONORS HAVE DONE

FOR US.

YOU CAME AND YOU DID A

WONDERFUL JOB, TO RESTORE

OUR HOME AND TO PUT US

BACK IN OUR HOME.

WE LOVE YOU GUYS, AND WE

APPRECIATE EVERYTHING THAT

YOU HAVE DONE.

THANK YOU VERY, VERY MUCH.

THANK YOU.

[APPLAUSE]

Terry: YOU KNOW,

"OPERATION BLESSING" AND

THE VOLUNTEERS THAT WORK

WITH THEM ARE KIND OF LIKE

THE U.S. MAIL, RAIN,

SLEEP, SNOW, OR HAIL, THEY

ARE THERE IN THE MIDST OF

IT ALL.

AND THE HUNT FAMILY HAS

NOW HAD RESTORATION IN

THEIR LIVES.

THEY'RE BACK ENJOYING

THEIR HOME.

YOU KNOW, WE DON'T REALIZE

HOW IMPORTANT OUR HOMES

ARE UNTIL WE HAVE

SOMETHING TRAUMATIC HAPPEN

WHERE WE LOSE THEM, BUT

YOU MADE THAT HAPPEN, "THE

700 CLUB" MEMBERS.

FOR THE HUNTS AND

THOUSANDS OF OTHERS, WHO

ARE RIGHT NOW, AS WE'RE

SPEAKING TOGETHER, HAVING

THEIR LIVES RESTORED BY

PEOPLE WHO ARE OUT THERE

CARING AND LOVING ON THEM,

AND YOU SENT THEM.

THAT'S WHY WE'RE ASKING

YOU TO GO TO YOUR HOME AND

CALL.

EVERY DOLLAR YOU PLEDGE

WILL BE MATCHED DOLLAR FOR

DOLLAR.

RIGHT NOW AT THIS MOMENT,

YOUR GIVING GOES TWICE AS

FAR.

WE HAVE A BIG CHALLENGE IN

FRONT OF US, $164,000.

AND THERE IS A BIG NEED IN

FRONT OF US.

AND TOGETHER YOU CAN MAKE

A DIFFERENCE.

WHEN YOU CALL RIGHT NOW

AND JOIN "THE 700 CLUB" AT

WHATEVER LEVEL YOU CHOOSE,

OR YOU INCREASE YOUR LEVEL

OF MEMBERSHIP, WE WANT TO

ASK YOU IF YOU WOULD DO IT

USING PLEDGE EXPRESS.

THAT'S ELECTRONIC MONTHLY

GIVING.

IT MEANS YOUR BANK DOES

ALL OF THE WORK.

IT IS ALL DONE FOR YOU.

BUT IT SAVES US SOME

ADMINISTRATIVE COSTS SO WE

CAN PUT EVEN MORE OF YOUR

GIFT RIGHT INTO THE LIVES

OF PEOPLE LIKE THE HUNTS.

AND OUR WAY OF SAYING

THANK YOU FOR USING PLEDGE

EXPRESS IS TO SEND YOU

"POWER FOR LIFE"

TEACHINGS.

YOU'LL GET ONE OF THESE

EVERY SINGLE MONTH.

WE BELIEVE THEY'LL BE AN

ENCOURAGEMENT AND A

BLESSING TO YOU, EVEN AS

YOU ARE BLESSING SOMEONE

ELSE.

WILL YOU CALL 1-800-AND

SAY, I WANT TO JOIN "THE

700 CLUB."

TELL US THE LEVEL YOU

WOULD LIKE TO JOIN AT AND

THEN SAY, I'D LIKE TO JOIN

USING PLEDGE EXPRESS.

GORDON?

Gordon: SURVEYS SHOW

MOST BECOME CHRISTIANS

BEFORE THEIR TEENAGED

YEARS.

THAT'S WHY BRI AND CLIFF

ARE SHARING THE STORIES OF

"SUPERBOOK" WITH THEIR

KIDS.

Reporter: THEY LOVE

"SUPERBOOK."

BRI LIKES TO SHARE

"SUPERBOOK" WITH FRIENDS

AND FAMILY WHENEVER SHE

GETS THE OPPORTUNITY.

GIVING EXTRA COPIES AS

GIFTS FOR KIDS, AS

BIRTHDAY PRESENTS, OR WHEN

KIDS HAVE COME TO

TRICK-OR-TREAT BEFORE,

WE'LL PASS THEM OUT THAT

WAY.

I DECIDED TO TAKE A COUPLE

TO OUR LOCAL LIBRARY, AND

THEY PUT THEM INTO THE

COUNTY'S CIRCULATION

SYSTEM.

Reporter: THREE OUT

OF FOUR PATTERSON KIDS

LOOK FORWARD TO

"SUPERBOOK" MOVIE NIGHT ON

FRIDAYS.

THE YOUNGEST ISN'T QUITE

READY YET.

THE KIDS LIKE

"SUPERBOOK" BECAUSE THEY

THINK GIZMO IS REALLY

FUNNY.

THEY'RE ALWAYS LAUGHING.

EVEN MY 2-YEAR-OLD WILL

LAUGH AT THE FUNNY THINGS

THAT HE DOES.

THE DAD SAID, DON'T GO

IN THERE.

I LIKE THE SONGS.

SOMETIMES THERE ARE SONGS

ON THERE.

AND I LIKE THE QUESTIONS.

Reporter: THEIR

FAVORITE PART IS THE

EXPLORER D.V.D., THE

INTERACTIVE PORTION OF THE

EPISODE, OR AS SHELBY PUTS

IT...

IT IS A D.V.D. THAT

SURPRISES YOU WITH A

D.V.D. THAT YOU DIDN'T

EVEN HAVE YET.

WE WERE DRAWING QUEEN

ESTHER.

Reporter: CLIFF AND

BRI HAVE BEEN SHARING

"SUPERBOOK" WITH THEIR

KIDS SINCE HANNA, THEIR

OLDEST, WAS TWO.

IT SPURS GREAT

CONVERSATION AND PREPARES

THEIR HEARTS FOR WHAT IS

REAL AND WHAT IS THE

TRUTH.

THAT'S WHAT I'M PASSIONATE

ABOUT, IS THE TRUTH.

I WANT THEM TO KNOW THEY

CAN COME TO ME AND KNOW

THEY'RE GOING TO GET THE

TRUTH.

AND THAT'S WHY "SUPERBOOK"

IS A GREAT TOOL FOR US AS

A FAMILY BECAUSE I FEEL IT

IS DEFINITELY GROUNDED IN

TRUTH AND BIBLICAL

KNOWLEDGE.

I CHOOSE CBN TO SUPPORT

BECAUSE I TRUST THEIR

INTEGRITY.

I TRUST THE VISION GOD HAS

GIVEN THEM.

AND I'M JUST SO THANKFUL

FOR THE FACT THAT THEY'RE

RAISING UP THE NEXT

GENERATION WITH

"SUPERBOOK."

THEY'RE HELPING TO LAY A

FOUNDATION FOR

GENERATIONS.

Gordon: WE WANT TO

TELL THE CHILDREN OF THE

WORLD THE STORIES OF THE

BIBLE.

GET THEM THE GOOD NEWS,

AND DO IT IN THEIR

LANGUAGE.

WE'RE UP TO 42 LANGUAGES,

CLOSING IN ON OUR GOAL OF

55 LANGUAGES.

AND THEN ONCE WE HIT THAT,

WE WANT TO TAKE IT TO EVEN

MORE, TO EVERY SINGLE

BROADCAST LANGUAGE.

THERE IS A MAP SHOWING ALL

OF THE DIFFERENT PLACES

WHERE "SUPERBOOK" IS BEING

BROADCAST, AND YOU'RE A

PART OF THAT WHEN YOU JOIN

"THE 700 CLUB."

IF YOU'RE NOT A MEMBER,

JOIN WITH US:

1-800-700-7000.

I'VE GOT SOME WONDERFUL

NEWS.

SOME PARTNERS FROM THE

NORTHEAST WANT TO ADD

$64,000 TO THE CHALLENGE.

THEY WANT TO TAKE IT UP TO

$228,000.

LET'S PRAY.

LORD, WE JUST ASK FOR

BLESSING OVER THIS, FOR

THE PARTNERS WHO MADE IT

POSSIBLE, AND FOR THOSE

WHWATCHING RIGHT NOW.

BE WITH THEM IN JESUS'

NAME.

AMEN.

AND AMEN.

$228,000 IS THE CHALLENGE

AMOUNT.

WITH 12 MINUTES AND 20

SECONDS, CALL US RIGHT

NOW: 1-800-700-7000.

LET'S GO TO WENDY AT THE

PHONES.

Wendy: THANKS,

GORDON.

WELL, IN THE COURSE OF HIS

LIFE, PAT ROBERTSON HAS

STARTED A MINISTRY, A

UNIVERSITY, A HUMANITARIAN

ORGANIZATION THAT YOU KNOW

AS "OPERATION BLESSING,"

AND CREATED THOUSANDS AND

THOUSANDS OF JOBS ALONG

THE WAY.

IN "ASK ANYTHING," PAT

SHARES WHAT HE LOOKS FOR

IN AN EMPLOYEE, AND WHAT

PEOPLE NEED TO DO IN ORDER

TO GET A JOB.

Terry: WE'RE GOING TO

TAKE SOME QUESTIONS NOW

ABOUT MONEY AND CAREERS.

SO LET'S START WITH JAKE

ON THIS, WHO E-MAILS: "CAN

YOU TELL ME THE CHARACTER

QUALITIES I SHOULD LOOK

FOR IN A GOOD HIRE.

AND WHAT ARE THOSE SPECIAL

THINGS THAT MAKE SOMEONE

GREAT IN YOUR OPINION?"

Pat: THE BIGGEST

THING IS ENTHUSIASM.

ARE PEOPLE ENTHUSIASTIC.

THEY WANT TO MAKE

SOMETHING HAPPEN AND THEY

REALLY WANT TO SUCCEED.

THAT'S THE FIRST.

SECONDLY, ARE THEY TEAM

PLAYERS?

WILL THEY GET ALONG WITH

OTHER PEOPLE?

FROM A MANAGEMENT

STANDPOINT, I BELIEVE THAT

THE BEST MANAGERS ARE

THOSE WHO HIRE THE BEST

PEOPLE AND GIVE THEM A

CAREER PATH TO RUN ON.

HERE IS THE GOAL; YOU GO

GET IT.

Wendy: SO MUCH WISDOM

THERE.

PAT HAS LIVED A VERY

FRUITFUL, AMAZING LIFE.

HE IS LIKE TALKING TO KING

SOLOMON, HE KNOWS SO MUCH.

WE WANT YOU TO HAVE THIS.

IT IS CALLED "ASK

ANYTHING."

THEY'RE BIBLICAL ANSWERS

TO LIFE, THE ANSWERS YOU

NEED FOR THE PROBLEMS YOU

FACE.

IT IS OUR FREE GIFT TO YOU

WHEN YOU CALL RIGHT NOW

AND JUST SAY, YES, I WANT

TO JOIN "THE 700 CLUB."

IF YOU'RE ALREADY A CBN

PARTNER AT $20, I'VE BEEN

CHALLENGING YOU TO GO UP

TO THE NEXT LEVEL.

LARRY GOING UP FROM $20 UP

TO GOLD AT $40.

AND KAREN IS GOING UP TO

GOLD -- THANK YOU, KAREN.

AND A COUPLE FROM RHODE

ISLAND ARE GOING UP TO THE

THOUSAND CLUB.

AND WILLIAM FROM TOLEDO,

OHIO, GOING UP TO THE

THOUSAND CLUB LEVEL, ALSO.

WE'RE IN THE MIDDLE OF A

CHALLENGE, $228,000, WITH

18 MINUTES LEFT ON THE

CLOCK.

WE NEED YOUR HELP.

SO MANY PEOPLE ARE

HURTING.

WHEN YOU HELP OTHERS, GOD

IS GOING TO HELP YOU.

TERRY?

Terry: THANKS, WENDY.

I WANT TO SHOW YOU ONE OF

THE WAYS YOU'RE MAKING

SUCH AN AMAZING

DIFFERENCE.

WHEN SHE WAS SICK, HER

BROTHER SAID IT WAS LIKE

WATCHING AN ANGEL FALL

FROM THE SKY.

SHE HAD A SERIOUS HEART

CONDITION, AND HER PARENTS

HAD NO WAY TO PAY FOR THE

SURGERY SHE NEEDED.

ZENGUANG IUANG'S BROTHER IS

HER BIGGEST FAN.

Terry: HE ALWAYS GAVE

HER TREATS AND EVEN PLAYED

WITH HER AND HER DOLLS

WHEN SHE ASKED HIM TO.

AND THEN SHE HAD TROUBLE

BREATHING.

SHE PUT HER HANDS ON

HER CHEST AND SAID, DAD, I

CAN'T WALK.

Terry: IT TURNED OUT

SHE HAD A FATAL HEART

DISEASE.

I WILL NEVER FORGET THE

NEWS.

IT FELT LIKE HEAVEN WAS

FALLING FROM THE SKY.

SHE WOULDN'T EAT AND

HER FACE WAS ALWAYS PALE.

WE STAYED AT ONE HOSPITAL

FOR 15 DAYS BUT HAD TO

LEAVE BECAUSE WE DIDN'T

HAVE MONEY FOR SURGERY.

I WISHED I COULD DIE IN

HER PLACE.

Terry: SHE GOT SO

WEAK THAT SHE COULDN'T GO

OUTSIDE.

I TRIED TO TAKE HER FOR

A WALK, BUT SHE JUST FELL

TO THE GROUND.

ANOTHER TIME SHE WAS AS

WHITE AS A GHOST, AND SHE

LOOKED BAD.

IT FELT LIKE MY HEART

WAS BLEEDING, LIKE SOMEONE

HIT MY HEART.

Terry: JINWONG QUIT

SCHOOL TO FARM AND GOT

CONSTRUCTION WORK IN THE

CITY TO HELP SAVE MONEY

FOR SURGERY.

MY BODY ACHED.

I ONLY MADE $6 A DAY.

I MISSED BEING HOME WITH

MY SISTER, BUT I KNEW I

NEEDED TO KEEP WORKING TO

SAVE HER LIFE.

Terry: THE WHOLE

FAMILY REFUSED TO GIVE UP

HOPE.

THE ONLY THING I COULD

DO WAS PRAY.

WHEN I I WA WAS HOME, I READ

THE BIBLE AND TOLD HER TO

PRAY.

Terry: THEN CBN SET

UP HEART SURGERY FOR HER.

WHEN I HEARD CBN WOULD

HELP, I KNEW THE LORD HAD

ANSWERED OUR PRAYERS.

MY LITTLE ANGEL HAS

CHANGED SO MUCH.

NOW I'M SO HAPPY.

I CAN RUN AND JUMP AND

PICK FLOWERS WITH MY BIG

BROTHER.

MY DAUGHTER IS HEAL.

IT IS ALL BECAUSE OF

THE LOVE OF CHRIST.

THANK YOU, LORD.

THANK YOU, CBN.

Terry: CAN YOU

IMAGINE HAVING A CHILD

WITH A DESPERATE NEED, A

LIFE-THREATENING SCENARIO,

AND THERE IS AN ANSWER,

BUT YOU JUST CAN'T AFFORD

IT.

AND NO MATTER HOW MANY

JOBS YOU HAVE, HOW MUCH

MONEY YOU MAKE, IT IS

NEVER ENOUGH.

AND THEN IMAGINE PRAYING

AND HAVING GOD SEND

SOMEONE RIGHT INTO THE

MIDST OF YOUR NEED AND WHO

SAYS, WE'RE GOING TO TAKE

CARE OF THAT FOR YOU.

THAT'S YOU.

THAT'S WHAT YOU DID WITH

YOUR GENEROSITY AND

KINDNESS.

AND WE SAY THANK YOU.

THAT'S WHY WE'RE ASKING

YOU TO HELP US MEET THIS

CHALLENGE WE'RE IN.

YOU DO IT BY LIFTING UP

YOUR PHONE AND CALLING OUR

TOLL-FREE NUMBER:

1-800-700-7000.

CHOOSE WHATEVER CLUB LEVEL

YOU WANT AND KNOW YOU ARE

SAVING LIVES AROUND THE

WORLD THE MOMENT YOU CALL.

WE SAY THANK YOU.

Gordon: AFTER 14

YEARS AND THREE COMBAT

MISSIONS, KEN IS LOOKING

FORWARD TO HANGING UP HIS

BOOTS FOR GOOD.

BUT WITH BILLS PILING UP,

HIS TRANSITION TO CIVILIAN

LIFE WON'T BE EASY.

THAT'S WHY CBN'S "HELPING

THE HOMEFRONT" IS GIVING

HIM AND HIS FAMILY A

HAND-UP.

Reporter: KENT HAS

SERVED IN THE U.S. ARMY

FOR 14 YEARS, INCLUDING

THREE COMBAT DEPLOYMENTS.

HIS WIFE, SARAH, KNOWS

WHAT HE HAS SACRIFICED TO

SERVE OUR COUNTRY.

I'M SO PROUD OF HIM

BECAUSE IT LET ME SEE A

SIDE OF HIM I DON'T THINK

I WOULD HAVE SEEN.

HE IS THE HARDEST WORKING

PERSON I'VE EVER MET.

IT JUST MAKES ME FEEL

GOD HAS PUT ME WITH THE

RIGHT PERSON.

Reporter: THOSE

DEPLOYMENTS WEIGHED

HEAVILY ON THE WHOLE

FAMILY.

I THINK EVERY MILITARY

SPOUSE SPENDS A LOT OF

TIME THINKING ABOUT WHAT

IS GOING TO HAPPEN IF THEY

GET THAT KNOCK ON THE

DOOR.

WHEN YOU GET HOME,

THERE ARE A LOT OF

STRESSORS.

IT TAKES A WHILE TO GET

USED TO BEING A CIVILIAN

AGAIN, AND REALIZING

YOU'RE NOT IN A COMBAT

ZONE ANYMORE.

Reporter: KENT WILL

STILL RETIRE FROM THE

ARMY.

WHILE THEY LOOK FORWARD TO

MORE TIME TOGETHER,

THEY'VE BEEN HIT WITH MANY

LARGE FINANCIAL SETBACKS.

A MAJOR ONE IS THEIR VAN,

WHICH WOULD COST MORE TO

REPAIR THUNDER IT I THAN IT IS WORTH.

WE DON'T GO VERY FAR

BECAUSE I KNOW ONE DAY IT

WILL GO AND WE'LL BE ON

THE SIDE OF THE ROAD WITH

THE KIDS ON A HOT KENTUCKY

ROAD.

IT IS SOMETHING I

STRESS ABOUT.

Reporter: THE FAMILY

GOES TO EMMANUEL CHURCH.

THE PASTOR TOLD THE FAMILY

WHAT WE WANTED TO DO.

THE FRIENDS AT CBN

WANTED TO COME ALONGSIDE

YOU AND ASSIST YOU.

Reporter: "HELPING

THE HOMEFRONT" GAVE THE

FAMILY $10,000 TO PAY OFF

THEIR OLD VAN.

IN ADDITION --

THEY WANT TO TAKE YOU

AND THE CHILDREN TO SEARS.

THEY HAVE $1,000 THAT THEY

WANT TO USE TO ASSIST YOU

TO GET SOME NEW CLOTHING

FOR THE CHILDREN.

Reporter: THAT DAY WE

TOOK THEM SHOPPING.

THE KIDS LOVED PICKING OUT

NEW CLOTHES.

I'M ALSO HUMBLED AND

GRATEFUL FOR WHAT YOU GUYS

HAVE DONE FOR US, FOR MY

FAMILY.

VERY GRATEFUL.

IT'S A SHOCKER.

THIS IS SOMETHING WE'VE

PRAYED ABOUT FOR MONTHS.

THIS HAS SET US ON THE

COURSE WHERE WE'RE GOING

TO BE OKAY.

Gordon: YOU'RE A PART

OF EVERYTHING WE'RE DOING

WHEN YOU JOIN "THE 700

CLUB."

ISN'T IT WONDERFUL TO HELP

THE FAMILIES OF OUR ACTIVE

DUTY MILITARY AS THEY'RE

PUTTING THEIR LIVES ON THE

LINE FOR US.

LET'S SHOW THEIR FAMILIES

WE RECOGNIZE THEIR

SACRIFICE, THAT THEY'RE

SERVING, TOO.

YOU'RE A PART OF ALL OF IT

WHEN YOU JOIN "THE 700

CLUB."

SO CALL US:

1-800-700-7000.

SAY, YES, I WANT TO BE A

MEMBER.

IT IS JUST $20 A MONTH.

SOME OF YOU CAN GIVE AT A

HIGHER LEVEL.

WE HAVE "700 CLUB" GOLD AT

$40 A MONTH.

AND THE THOUSAND CLUB IS

$1,000 A YEAR, AND IT

BREAKS OUT TO $84 A MONTH.

AT WHATEVER LEVEL, CALL US

NOW.

WHEN YOU CALL, MAKE SURE

YOU ASK FOR PLEDGE

EXPRESS, WHERE THE BANK

DOES ALL OF THE WORK AND

THERE ARE NO CHECKS TO

WRITE.

WE SEND AS OUR GIFT TO YOU

"POWER FOR LIFE" MONTHLY

TEACHINGS.

IF YOU WOULD LIKE THOSE,

ASK FOR PLEDGE EXPRESS

WHEN YOU CALL.

TERRY?

Terry: IN ONE INDIAN

VILLAGE, A BABY WAS

STARVING AND NONE OF THEIR

NEIGHBORS WERE WILLING TO

HELP.

THEY THOUGHT SHE WAS

CURSED, SIMPLY BECAUSE SHE

WAS BORN WITH A CLEFT LIP.

Reporter: HER PARENTS

KNEW HER NEIGHBORS WOULD

BLAME THEM.

IN OUR VILLAGE, THEY

SAY IF YOU'RE PREGNANT AND

YOU VIEWED A SOLAR

ECLIPSE, YOUR CHILD WOULD

BE BORN WITH A CLEFT LIP.

AFTER SHE WAS BORN, MY

HEART BROKE WHEN I SAW HER

CLEFT LIP.

I KNEW SHE WOULD HAVE A

HARD LIFE.

Reporter: SHE

COULDN'T DRINK FROM A

BOTTLE, SO THEY FED HER

WITH A SPOON.

SHE BARELY GOT ANY MILK

THAT WAY, SO SHE WAS

ALWAYS MAL NOURISHENOURISHED.

SHE HAD A FEVER ALL OF

THE TIME.

IT MADE ME SO SAD.

Reporter: HER DAD

WORKS AS A DAY LABO LABORER AND

COULD NEVER MAKE ENOUGH.

I CONSIDERED SELLING

MYSELF AS A SLAVE TO
