Wendy: TODAY...THE

"700 CLUB INTERACTIVE"

ASKS, WHAT ARE YOU

THANKFUL FOR.

JUST THANKFUL THAT GOD

HAS ALWAYS BEEN THERE FOR

US.

AND THE OLDER YOU GET,

THE MORE YOU APPRECIATE.

Wendy: AND HEAR THE

TRUE STORIES OF THE VERY

FIRST ONE-TWO YEARS BEFORE

THE MAYFLOWER.

GIVE THANKS, AND YOU DO

THAT PERPETUALLY AND

ANNUALLY.

Wendy: AND THEN...A

HOLIDAY HEARING.

INSTANTLY THE PAIN

STOPPED.

I WAS SO EXCITED, I CAN'T

THANK YOU ENOUGH.

Wendy: ON TODAY'S

"700 CLUB."

*

Pat: WELL, HERE IS

SOMETHING TO MAKE YOUR

THANKSGIVING.

THE AVALANCHE OF CEREMONY

HARASSMENT CLAIMS KEEPS

GROWING, FROM HOLLYWOOD TO

WASHINGTON.

POWERFUL LEADERS ARE

STEPPING BACK AS WOMEN SAY

THEY HAVE BEEN ABUSED BY

THEM.

WENDY?

Wendy: PROMINENT MEN

SUCH AS CHARLIE ROSE, JOHN

CONYERS, AND JOHN LASATER

ARE THE LATEST ONE TO BE

ACCUSED OF SEXUAL

HARASSMENT.

HEATHER SELLS HAS THE

STORY.

Heather: CONGRESS IS

ATTEMPTING TO CLEAN HOUSE,

BUT THERE IS A LOT OF WORK

TO DO.

LAWMAKERS ARE TALKING

ABOUT TWO OF THEIR OWN WHO

HAVE NOT COME FORWARD.

I THINK IT IS GOOD TO

GET THIS STUFF OUT AND

NAME THEM.

JUST GET IT OUT AND LAY IT

OUT.

Heather: HERE IS WHAT

ALLEGEDLY HAPPENED WHEN

ONE STAFFER DROPPED OFF

RESEARCH AT A LAWMAKER'S

HOME.

THE YOUNG STAFFER, THE

YOUNG WOMAN, WENT THERE

AND WAS GREETED WITH A

MEMBER IN A TOWEL.

IT WAS A MALE.

WHO THEN INVITED HER IN.

AT THAT POINT HE DECIDED

TO EXPOSE HIMSELF.

SHE LEFT AND THEN SHE QUIT

HER JOB.

Heather: ONE

CONGRESSMAN, 88-YEAR-OLD

JOHN CONYERS, A MICHIGAN

DEMOCRAT, IS FACING A

COMMITTEE FOR ALLEGATIONS

OF SEXUAL HARASSMENT.

HE DENIES HE DID ANYTHING

WRONG, BUT ADMITS HE MADE

A SETTLEMENT WITH AN

ACCUSER.

AND SENATOR AL FRANKEN IS

UNDER PRESSURE AFTER

ALLEGATIONS OF GROPING BY

TWO WOMEN.

HE HAS APOLOGIZED.

ROY MOORE, A REPUBLICAN

FROM ALABAMA, IS DENYING

ALLEGATIONS HE SEXUALLY

ASSAULTED MULTIPLE WOMEN,

INCLUDING TEENAGERS.

I NEVER DATED UNDERAGED

WOMEN, AND I NEVER ENGAGED

IN SEXUAL MISCONDUCT WITH

ANYBODY.

Heather: WHEN ASKED

BY REPORTERS ON TUESDAY,

PRESIDENT TRUMP WOULD ONLY

SAY THAT MOORE HAS DENIED

IT, AND SAYS HE DOESN'T

WANT TO SEE A LIBERAL WIN

THE ALABAMA RACE.

President Trump: I

CAN TELL YOU ONE THING FOR

SURE: WE DON'T NEED A

LIBERAL IN THERE, A

DEMOCRAT.

Heather: SEXUAL

ALLEGATIONS ARE ALSO

SHOCKING THE MEDIA WORLD.

NEARLY A DOZEN WOMEN HAVE

TOLD THE "WASHINGTON POST"

THAT VETERAN JOURNALIST

CHARLIE ROSE MADE UNWANTED

ADVANCES.

PBS AND BLOOMBERG HAVE

DROPPED HIS SHOW, AND CBS

HAS FIRED HIM FROM HIS

MORNING ANCHOR POSITION.

LET ME BE VERY CLEAR:

THERE IS NO EXCUSE FOR

THIS ALLEGED BEHAVIOR.

Heather: IN

HOLLYWOOD, THE HEAD OF

PIXAR IS TAKING TIME OFF.

AND IN SPORTS, OLYMPIC

GOLD MEDALLIST GABBY

DOUGLAS JOINED WITH OTHER

TEAMMATES WHO SAY THEY

WERE SEXUALLY ABUSED BY

THEIR TEAM DOCTOR.

BACK ON CAPITOL HILL, IT

HAS COME TO LIGHT THAT

TAXPAYERS HAVE FOOTED THE

BILL FOR SEXUAL

HARASSMENT, AND THAT

LAWMAKERS HAVE COME OUT ON

TOP.

RIGHT NOW VICTIMS MUST

SIGN NON DISCLOSURE

AGREEMENTS AND UNDERGO

MEDIATION BEFORE FILING

ANY LEGAL CLAIMS.

A NEW BILL AIMS TO END

THOSE PRACTICES.

HEATHER SELLS, CBN NEWS.

Pat: WHAT IN THE

WORLD IS WRONG WITH THESE

PEOPLE.

A LOT OF WHAT IS BEING

DONE, LIKE CHARLIE ROSE,

WOULD BE PERFECTLY NORMAL

IF HE WAS MARRIED TO ONE

OF THESE WOMEN.

BUT THEY WANT THE

PRIVILEGES OF MARRIAGE

WITHOUT ANY OBLIGATIONS.

THEY WANT ALL OF THE

PRIVILEGES OF BEING

MARRIED, BUT THEY DON'T

WANT TO TAKE ON THE

RESPONSIBILITY OF BUILDING

A LIFE TOGETHER WITH A

WOMAN.

THEY WANT TO HAVE A CASUAL

ENGAGEMENT, AND THEN GO ON

TO ANOTHER ONE.

Wendy: WELL, IT WAS,

I THINK, JUST A LOT MORE

ACCEPTED BEHAVIOR IN THAT

ERA, FOR WHATEVER REASON,

AND THAT IS OVER.

Pat: BOB PACKWOOD,

WHO WAS A SENATOR, AND HE

WAS ENGAGED IN ALL KINDS

OF SEX.

BUT THESE PEOPLE, THEY

HAVE POWER OVER THESE

WOMEN.

THEY CONTROL THEIR JOBS,

CONTROL THEIR INCOME,

CONTROL THEIR DESTINY, AND

THEY CAN USE THAT AS

LEVERAGE, AND IT IS

SHOCKING.

AND IT SHOULD NOT BE

ALLOWED.

AGAIN, IF THEY WERE

MARRIED -- IF THEY WERE

MARRIED AND THEY HAD

COMMITTED THEMSELVES TO A

LIFETIME RELATIONSHIP,

BUILDING A FAMILY TOGETHER

WITH SOME LADY --

Wendy: DO YOU REALLY

THINK MARRIAGE STOPS --

MARRIAGE DOESN'T OFTEN

STOP SOME MEN FROM HAVING

FLINGS AND SEEKING THRILLS

ON THE SIDE, SO I DON'T

THINK MARRIAGE IS THE

ANSWER.

Pat: THAT'S WHY THE

BIBLE SAYS YOU SHALL NOT

COMMIT ADULTERY.

Wendy: CLEARLY

THEY'RE NOT READING THE

BIBLE BEFORE THEY GO INTO

THESE SITUATIONS.

Pat: IF THEY WOULD

JUST WATCH "THE 700 CLUB."

> THE BIBLE SAYS, IT IS

BETTER TO MARRY THAN TO

BURN WITH LUST.

BUT WITHIN THE CONFINES OF

MARRIAGE, THERE HAS GOT TO

BE A RESPONSIBILITY.

YOU TAKE ON A

RESPONSIBILITY THAT YOU'RE

GOING TO LIVE A LIFE

TOGETHER, YOU'RE GOING TO

MAKE A HOME TOGETHER, AND

THESE CASUAL FLINGS, IT IS

LIKE ANIMALISTIC.

YOU'RE A STALLION AND YOU

CAN GO WITH ALL OF THESE

MARES.

> A NORTHERN KOREAN

DEFECTOR BARELY SURVIVED

AN ESCAPE ACROSS THE

BORDER THE OTHER DAY.

HERE IS DRAMATIC FOOTAGE

OF WHAT HAPPENED.

Efrem: THAT NORTH

KOREAN DEFECTOR IS IN THE

HOSPITAL AND FINALLY

CONSCIOUS.

THERE IS NOW AMAZING

FOOTAGE SHOWING HIM WHAT

HAPPENED.

YOU CAN SEE HIM RACING

TOWARDS THE BORDER IN A

BLACK S.U.V.

AS HE REACHES THE BRIDGE,

NORTH KOREAN TROOPS RUN

OUT OF THEIR BUILDING TO

SHOOT HIM.

HE GETS OUT OF THE TRUCK

AND RUNS, BUT HE FALLS

WOUNDED.

AND THE WOUNDED SOLDIER

SLOWLY CRAWLS.

A RESCUER FINALLY DRAGGING

HIS BODY TO SAFETY.

HE IS NOW RECOVERING AFTER

TWO ROUNDS OF SURGERY TO

REPAIR INTERNAL ORGAN

DAMAGE.

> UBER IS COMING CLEAN

AFTER COVERING UP A HUGE

HACKING ATTACK THAT

HAPPENED A YEAR AGO.

THE PERSONAL INFORMATION

OF NEARLY 57 MILLION

PEOPLE WAS STOLEN FROM THE

RIDE-HAILING SERVICE,

INCLUDING NAMES, E-MAIL

ADDRESSES, PHONE NUMBERS

AND DRIVER' DRIVERS' LICENSES.

SO FAR WILL IS NO EVIDENCE

THAT THE DATA HAS BEEN

MISUSED.

> BUT SOME GOOD THINGS

ARE STILL HAPPENING AT

UBER.

WE WANT TO TELL YOU ABOUT

ONE OF THE DRIVERS WHO IS

MAKING A DIFFERENCE IN OUR

WORLD.

KENNETH DRAYTON IS IN THE

BUSINESS OF SHARING THE

GOSPEL.

ONE DAY HE HOPES TO DO IT

FROM A PULPIT.

BUT FOR NOW, IT IS FROM

THE FRONT SEAT OF HIS CAR.

CAITLIN BURKE TAKES THE

SEAT FOR A RIDE.

HI, HOW ARE YOU TODAY?

WELL.

HOW ARE YOU?

I'M DOING WELL, THANK

YOU.

Caitlin: KENNETH

DRAYTON DRIVES FOR UBER.

ANY BELIEVER, THEIR

NUMBER ONE PRIORITY IS A

COMMITMENT TO THE MISSION

OF GOD AND TO THE PURPOSE

OF GOD ON A DAILY BASIS.

Caitlin: KENNETH SAYS

HE HAS ALWAYS BEEN

INVOLVED IN MINISTRY, AND

HADN'T REALLY CONSIDERED

THIS OTHER LINE OF WORK.

MY OLDER SON SAID, DAD,

WHY DON'T YOU TRY UBER.

IT IS A PRETTY DECENT

INCOME.

AT THE TIME, I SAID, I

DON'T KNOW.

AND THEN I LOOKED INTO IT.

AND WHAT IT REQUIRED IN

NEW YORK CITY IS YOU NEED

A T.L.C. LICENSE, AND IT

WAS KIND OF AN EXPENSIVE

PROCESS.

BUT ONE DAY I WAS EATING

IN THE BUFFET IN BROOKLYN,

AND I ENCOUNTERED A VOICE.

AND IT SAID, GO AND GET

YOUR T.L.C. LICENSE.

AND IT WAS CLEAR AND LOUD.

AND I LOOKED AROUND TO SEE

IF ANYONE ELSE IN THE

BUFFET HEARD THAT.

AND IT STOOD UP IN ME.

AND I SAID, OKAY.

I PERCEIVE THAT THIS IS

THE VOICE OF THE LORD

SPEAKING TO ME.

SO I OBEYED.

Caitlin: AFTER A YEAR

BEHIND THE WHEEL, HE IS

PRETTY SHUR I SURE IT WAS DIVINE.

MANY COMING IN MY CAR

WERE PERPLEXED.

Caitlin: FROM THE

TIME THE PASSENGER SLIDES

INTO THE BACK SEAT INTO

THE MOMENT HE DROPS THEM

OFF, HE SAYS THE HOLY

SPIRIT IS PRESENT AND

GUIDING THE CONVERSATION.

IT IS AN AWARENESS.

IT'S AN INNER EAR.

IT'S WISDOM, MOST OF ALL.

THE BIBLE MAKES THAT

CLEAR, ALSO THAT HE THAT

WINS SOULS IS WISE.

Caitlin: KENNETH HAS

NO AGENDA, OTHER THAN

OBEYING GOD.

SOMETIMES THAT MEANS

TALKING TO PASSENGERS;

SOMETIMES THAT MEANS

STAYING SILENT.

EITHER WAY, HE TRUSTS THAT

THE TRUE WINNER OF SOULS

IS AT WORK.

GOD HAS MANY PEOPLE

WORKING IN OBEYANCE.

AND GOD SEES FIT, AND THE

HOLY SPIRIT WILL DETERMINE

HOW THAT SEED GROWS.

Caitlin: KENNETH

DOESN'T EXPECT TO BE AN

UBER DRIVER FOREVER, BUT

AS OF NOW HE HASN'T BEEN

CALLED TO ANYTHING ELSE.

I THINK THE MAIN FOCUS

IS GOD'S DIVINE WILL.

Caitlin: CAITLIN

BURKE, NEW YORK CITY.

Efrem: THE HARVEST IS

THERE EVEN IN THE BACK OF

AN UBER.

Pat: CAN YOU IMAGINE

GOD SPEAKING TO YOU,

UBER -- WHAT IS UBER.

THE GERMANS HAD

DEUTSCHELAND, WITH A

SAYING OF GERMANY ABOVE

EVERYBODY.

Wendy: UBER IS HALF

THE PRICE OF A TAXI.

YOU GET AN APP ON YOUR

PHONE, AND YOU CLICK IT,

AND IT WILL TELL YOU HOW

LONG IT WILL TAKE FOR THE

DRIVER TO GET THERE.

Pat: THERE IS NO

WORRY, IF YOU'RE A SINGLE

WOMAN, BEING ASSAULTED BY

SOME STRANGER.

Wendy: I'LL TELL YOU

WHAT, THE SAVINGS IS WORTH

THE RISK.

YOU CUT YOUR TAXI BILL IN

HALF.

ONE TIME I HAD TO GO,

LIKE, AN HOUR OUTSIDE OF

L.A.

AND IT ONLY COST ME $48,

AND IT WOULD HAVE COST ME

$200 WITH A REGULAR TAX

FEE.

BUT YOU HAVE TO BE

CAREFUL.

Pat: I THINK UBER

MEANS ABOVE AND YON BEYOND OR

SOMETHING.

WHATEVER IT IS, IT IS A

HUGE THING.

BUT THE FACT THAT SOME OF

THESE THINGS CAN GET

HACKED -- ONCE AGAIN, OUR

HEAD OF THE -- YOU KNOW,

I'M TRYING TO THINK OF THE

VICE PRESIDENT OF ACADEMIC

AFFAIRS AT REGENT

UNIVERSITY -- HE TOOK A

TRIP OVER TO ISRAEL, AND

HE IS IN ISRAEL RIGHT NOW,

AND HE IS LEARNING ALL

KINDS OF THINGS ABOUT THE

SECURITY ISSUES, SO WE CAN

TEACH PEOPLE HOW NOT TO

GET HACKED.

SO UBER WAS HACKED AND

SOME OF THEIR CONFIDENTIAL

INFORMATION WAS STOLEN.

WE WANT TO TEACH PEOPLE

HOW THAT DOESN'T HAPPEN.

THE EASY WAY OF HACKING,

THEY CALL UP AND SAY, BY

THE WAY, I'VE LOST MY

PASSWORD, COULD YOU PLEASE

TELL ME.

AND THEY GIVE THEM THE

INFORMATION.

WHAT'S THE NAME OF YOUR

PRESIDENT, WHAT'S HIS

ADDRESS?

AND SUDDENLY SOMEBODY ON

THE TELEPHONE WILL GIVE

THESE HACKERS ALL KINDS OF

INFORMATION, AND THEY'RE

IN.

AND EVERYBODY IS GETTING

HACKED.

THESE BIG, BIG, IMPORTANT

COMPANIES, AND THEY'RE

DESPERATE FOR TRAINING AS

TO HOW TO PREVENT THAT.

SO REGENT UNIVERSITY IS

STANDING IN THE GAP.

EFREM?

Efrem: PAT, HURRICANE

HARVEY CAUSED MORE THAN

$150 BILLION WORTH OF

DAMAGE WHEN IT SLAMMED

INTO TEXAS ON

AUGUST 25th.

SINCE THEN "OPERATION

BLESSING" HAS BEEN ON THE

GROUND, HELPING RESIDENTS

TO REBUILD.

JODY GETTIS HAS THE LATEST

ON THE EFFORTS, INCLUDING

AN EXTREME HOME RENOVATION

JUST IN TIME FOR

THANKSGIVING.

AS WE ENTER INTO THE

THANKSGIVING HOLIDAYS,

"OPERATION BLESSING" TEAMS

CONTINUE TO BE HARD AT

WORK, HELPING THE

RESIDENTS CONTINUE TO

RECOVER FROM HURRICANE

HARVEY.

TODAY I'M COMING TO YOU

FROM MISS PRI PRISCILLA'S

HOME.

WHEN WE FOUND HER, SHE WAS

LITERALLY LIVING IN THE

DRIVEWAY, IN A RENTED

JEEP, WITH THE SEATS DOWN.

JUST A FEW SHORT DAYS AGO,

WE WELCOMED HER BACK HOME

FOR A SURPRISE OF A

LIFETIME.

> ONE, TWO, THREE!

[CHEERING]

YES.

Efrem: WHAT A GREAT

THANKSGIVING THAT'S GOING

TO BE.

PAT?

Pat: WELL, THIS IS

WHAT "OPERATION BLESSING"

IS DOING ALL YEAR AROUND,

FOLKS.

NOT JUST THANKSGIVING OR

CHRISTMAS, BUT ALL YEAR

AROUND.

WE'RE OUT THERE BUILDING

HOUSES, PICKING UP TRASH,

HELPING PEOPLE, HELPING

THOSE WHO DON'T HAVE

ENOUGH FOOD TO EAT,

FEEDING THE HUNGRY,

CLOTHING THE NAKED.

WELL, THAT'S WHAT

"OPERATION BLESSING" DOES

ALL YEAR AROUND.

IF YOU WANT TO PARTICIPATE

AT THIS THANKSGIVING, IT

WOULD BE A WONDERFUL WAY

OF SHOWING THAT YOU'RE

THANKFUL.

THE ADDRESS IS SO EASY.

IT'S "OPERATION BLESSING"

RELIEF FUND.

IT'S CBN CENTER, VIRGINIA

BEACH, VIRGINIA.

"OPERATION BLESSING."

IT'S SET UP TO BLESS

PEOPLE.

AND THE LORD GAVE ME THE

58th CHAPTER OF ISAIAH A

LONG TIME AGO.

"IT IYOU SEE THE NAKED, AND

YOU CLOTHE THEM, AND YOU

FIND THE HUNGRY, AND YOU

FEED THEM."

SO WE'VE BEEN FEEDING THE

POOR AND THE NEEDY AND

HELPING THEM WITH HOUSES.

THEY JUST NEED A LITTLE

HELP ALONG THE WAY AND

THEN THEY CAN GET ON THEIR

OWN.

AND "OPERATION BLESSING"

IS DOING THAT TO

MILLIONS -- TENS OF MIX OF

SUN AND CLOUMILLIONS OF PEOPLE.

I THINK "OPERATION

BLESSING" HAS GIVEN AWAY

ABOUT $4 MILLION.

Wendy: THAT LADY WAS

LIVING IN A JEEP WHEN THEY

FOUND HER, AND NOW SHE HAS

HER BEAUTIFUL HOME BACK,

WITH PICTURES ON THE

WALLS.

IT IS BEAUTIFUL TO SEE

THAT.

Pat: THE VOLUNTEERS

WANT TO HELP.

AND THE QUESTION IS, HOW

DO YOU ORGANIZE THEM.

AND "OPERATION BLESSING"

ARE EXPERTS NOW AT

ORGANIZING WORKERS TO

HELP.

Wendy: AND THERE IS

ALWAYS SOME PLACE TO

VOLUNTEER.

Pat: YOU BETTER

BELIEVE IT.

> WENDY, WHAT ELSE DO WE

HAVE FOR THANKSGIVING?

Wendy: UP NEXT, IF

YOU THOUGHT THAT

THANKSGIVING ORIGINATED

WITH THE PILGRIMS AND

PLYMOUTH ROCK, WE'VE GOT

SOME BAD NEWS: YOU'RE

WRONG.

WE'LL HEAD TO THE BERKELEY

ADMINISTRATION IN VIRGINIA

TO SET THE RECORD

Pat: YOU'RE WATCHING

"THE 700 CLUB."

IT IS THE DAY BEFORE

THANKSGIVING, AND WE'RE

DELIGHTED TO HAVE YOU WITH

US.

GOOD THINGS ARE HAPPENING.

WE WANT TO TAKE YOU UP THE

JAMES ABOUT 65 MILES, TO

WHAT IS CALLED BERKELEY

PLANTATION.

IT TEEMS WITH HISTORY.

IT IS WHERE THE BUGLE

CALL, TAPS, WAS FIRST

PLAYED.

AND TWO U.S. PRESIDENTS

CALLED IT HOME.

AND IT IS ALSO THE PLACE

BEFORE THE VERY FIRST

THANKSGIVING WAS

CELEBRATED, WAY BACK IN

THE YEAR 1619.

Wendy: YEAH.

Pat: WENDY WENDY?

Reporter:

THANKSGIVING HAS BEEN A

BELOVED AMERICAN HOLIDAY

FOR CENTURIES.

BUT WHAT MOST PEOPLE DON'T

KNOW IS THE FIRST

THANKSGIVING DIDN'T HAPPEN

IN PLYMOUTH ROCK IN 1621.

IT TOOK PLACE TWO YEARS

EARLIER, ALONG THE JAMES

RIVER HERE IN BERKELEY.

JAMES GAVE LAND TO A

GROUP OF FOUR MEN IN

VIRGINIA, AND THEY SETTLED

ON 8,000 ACRES THEY WERE

GIVEN.

Reporter: THE MAN WAS

CHOSEN TO LEAD A CREW OF

37 MEN THAT SET SAIL FOR

VIRGINIA.

WE GOT A LIST OF 10

INSTRUCTIONS THROUGH THE

BERKELEY COMPANY.

ONCE YOU LAND, TO GIVE

THANKS FOR YOUR SAFE

VOYAGE, AND TO DO THAT

ANNUALLY.

Reporter: ON

DECEMBER 4th, 1619, THE

CREW LANDED.

THEY PUT THEIR LUGGAGE

ON THE HARD GROUND, AND

GAZED INTO THE WOODS, AND

THE CAPTAIN SAID, LET US

PRAY.

AND THEY THANKED GOD FOR

GIVING THEM SAFE ARRIVAL

IN VIRGINIA.

Reporter: IT WAS A

SOLEMN TIME OF PRAYER,

WHICH WAS OBSERVED EVERY

YEAR AS MANDATED.

BUT THREE YEARS LATER,

THERE WAS THE MASSACRE OF

1622.

MANY WERE KILLED, AND

OTHERS SCATTERED.

AND THE TRADITION OF THE

FIRST THANKSGIVING WOULD

BE LOST TO HISTORY.

THE SITE EVENTUALLY BECAME

THE BERKELEY PLANTATION,

AND WOULD PLAY A ROLE

THROUGH VIRGINIA'S, AND

AMERICA'S, HISTORY.

THEN IN 1831, DR. LYON

TIGER FOUND THE DOCUMENTS.

HE SHARED HIS DISCOVERY

WITH THE JAMIESON FAMILY,

WHO OWNED BERKELEY.

NO ONE KNEW THAT

AMERICA'S FIRST

THANKSGIVING WAS HERE IN

VIRGINIA.

Reporter: THEN IN

1958, SENATOR JOHN WICKER

IN THINVITED DESCENTS HERE, AND

THE FIRST THANKSGIVING

FESTIVAL WAS BORN.

THE THANKSGIVING

FESTIVAL IS TO EDUCATE THE

PUBLIC IN THE HISTORICAL

SIGNIFICANCE OF THE FIRST

THANKSGIVING IN AMERICA.

Reporter: IN 1963,

PRESIDENT JOHN F. KENNEDY

GAVE THE BERKELEY

THANKSGIVING ITS RIGHTFUL

PLACE IN HISTORY.

WE REALLY CONSIDER

OURSELVES NOT TO BE THE

OWNERS OF BERKELEY, BUT WE

CONSIDER OURSELVES THE

STEWARDSS, THE KEEPERS OF

THIS PLACE THAT HAS SO

MUCH HISTORY.

Reporter: THE EVENT

HAS BEEN HELD EVERY YEAR

SINCE.

IT HIGHLIGHTS THE HISTORY,

FROM THE FIRST

THANKSGIVING TO THE CIVIL

WAR ERA, TO THE TRADITIONS

OF TODAY, WHICH ALL

STARTED WITH A PRAYER OF

THANKSGIVING.

Pat: WELL, ISN'T THAT

BEAUTIFUL.

WENDY?

BERKELEY, JUST UP THE

RIVER FROM HERE.

Wendy: ISN'T IT WEIRD

THAT THE PARDONED TURKEYS

THAT PRESIDENT TRUMP

PARDONED WILL LIVE OUT

THEIR LIVES?

Pat: ACTUALLY, THOSE

PARDONED TURKEYS WILL GO

TO VIRGINIA TECH.

BUT BERKELEY WOULD BE A

NICE PLACE FOR THEM, WHERE

THEY WILL LIVE A LIFE OF

SPLENDOR AND LEGEND.

Wendy: WELL, WE ARE

IN THE SEASON OF

THANKSGIVING, AND WHETHER

IT IS HEALTH OR FAMILY OR

FRIENDS, AMERICANS HAVE SO

MUCH TO BE THANKFUL FOR.

OUR SCOTT ROSS HIT THE

STREETS OF NASHVILLE TO

SEE WHO IS THANKFUL FOR

WHAT, AND TO WHOM PEOPLE

ARE THANKFUL.

Reporter: WHAT

HOLIDAY IS COMING UP?

THANKSGIVING.

Reporter: WHAT'S A

FAMILY MEMORY FOR YOU?

THE WHOLE FAMILY

DRIVING TO THE TOP OF

WISCONSIN.

MY AUNT AND UNCLE LIVE IN

THE MIDDLE OF THE WOODS,

AND WE ALL GO UP THERE

WITH BALD EAGLES AND BLACK

BEARS.

Reporter: DO YOU HAVE

ANY MEMORIES OF

THANKSGIVING?

IT IS A GREAT BIG

FAMILY, AND WE HAVE A

FEAST.

Reporter: IN YOUR

HEART, YOU'RE THANKFUL TO

WHOM?

GOD.

WE THANK GOD FOR

EVERYTHING.

THE MORE YOU GET, THE MORE

YOU APPRECIATE.

EVERY GOOD BLESSING

COMES FROM THE LORD.

Reporter: OH, WOW,

YOU KNOW THE ROOTS OF

THANKSGIVING?

AMEN.

ANYBODY WHO THINKS THIS

CAME FROM NOTHING IS CRAZY

OR SENILE.

Reporter: AND YOU'RE

NEITHER?

WELL...

I'M WELL IN MY 80s,

BUT THAT'S ALL RIGHT.

Reporter: YOU LOOK

GOOD FOR YOUR AGE.

87.

Reporter: WHAT YOU

ARE THANKFUL FOR?

I'M THANKFUL FOR MY

FAMILY.

WE'VE BEEN THROUGH A LOT

OF ILLNESSES, BUT WE'VE

ALWAYS PERSEVERED AND GOT

THROUGH IT, AND WE'RE

THANKFUL THAT GOD HAS

ALWAYS BEEN THERE FOR US.

Reporter: GOD?

GOD.

WE THANK HIM DAILY.

HE IS THE ONE THAT GETS US

THROUGH IT ALL.

Reporter: WHAT ARE

YOU THANKFUL FOR?

A GOD LIFE.

LIFE IS GOOD.

Reporter: IT IS?

YEAH.

I'VE GOT A GOOD FAMILY.

Reporter: WHO DO YOU

THANK WHEN YOU THANK AT

THANKSGIVING?

I'M NOT VERY RELIGIOUS.

Reporter: NO?

NOT REAL.

Reporter: WHAT ARE

YOU THANKFUL FOR?

SALVATION.

THE LORD GAVE ME A

WONDERFUL WIFE, FIVE

BEAUTIFUL KIDS, AND 13

GRANDCHILDREN.

Reporter: WHEN YOU

GIVE THANKS, WHO DO YOU

THANK?

MY FAMILY.

Reporter: AND YOU?

MY FAMILY.

IT IS A RELIGIOUS HOLIDAY,

BUT...

Reporter: YOU DON'T

THANK GOD?

I THINK IN MY OWN WAY I

DO.

I DO AND I DON'T.

Reporter: YOU DO AND

YOU DON'T?

I DO AND I DON'T.

Reporter: YOU DON'T

BELIEVE THERE IS A GOD?

NO.

Reporter: ALL OF THIS

CAME FROM WHERE?

SCIENCE.

Reporter: OH, I SEE.

OKAY.

SO SCIENCE WILL SAVE US?

WE MIGHT ALL GO OUT IN

A BALL OF FIRE ANY DAY

NOW.

WHO KNOWS?

Reporter: YOU THINK

SO?

I HAVE NO IDEA.

Reporter: AND IF THAT

HAPPENS, WHAT HAPPENS TO

YOU?

I'M GONE.

Reporter: FOREVER?

SURE.

Reporter: INTO THE

GREAT VOID --

POOF.

Reporter: DO YOU

THINK PEOPLE ARE STILL

GRATEFUL?

ABSOLUTELY.

Reporter: THEY ARE?

THEY ARE.

YOU CAN LOOK ON THE BRIGHT

SIDE OR YOU CAN LOOK ON

THE DARK SIDE.

Reporter: RIGHT.

BUT THERE IS MORE LIGHT

THAN THERE IS DARK, AS FAR

AS I'M CONCERNED.

Reporter: GOOD FOR

YOU.

I BELIEVE THAT, TOO.

Wendy: ONLY SCOTT

ROSS, PAT, HE CAN GET IT

OUT OF YOU, RIGHT?

Pat: HE IS A GREAT

INTERVIEWER.

Wendy: FOR MANY, THE

TIME BETWEEN THANKSGIVING

AND CHRISTMAS IS ALL ABOUT

SHOPPING AND SETTLING UP

DECLARATIONS.

FOR CHRISTIANS, IT IS ALSO

THE TIME KNOWN AS A ADVENT.

RECENTLY LISA ROBERTSON

SHARED WITH TERRY MEEUWSEN

ABOUT WHAT WE CELEBRATE

THE SEASON.

WELL, THE SEASON IS

ALMOST ON US, AND IF

YOU'RE LIKE ME, I'M ALWAYS

TRYING TO FIND WAYS TO

MAKE THE SEASON MORE

MEANINGFUL.

WE WANT TO TALK TO LISA

ROBERTSON ABOUT ADVENT.

ADVENT IS THE SEASON IN

THE CHURCH CALENDAR THAT

BEGINS FOUR WEEKS BEFORE

CHRISTMAS.

IT IS A TIME OF

PREPARATION, AND IT IS A

TIME OF TALKING ABOUT THE

COMING OF CHRIST AS AN AN

INFANT IN THE MA MANGER.

Terry: THIS IS A VERY

SIGNIFICANT EVENT IN YOUR

HOME.

I KNOW YOUR FAMILY

CELEBRATES THIS EACH DAY

OF THE FOUR WEEKS BEFORE

CHRISTMAS.

THERE IS A SENSE OF

ANTICIPATION THAT COMES

WITH THIS IN THE FAMILY.

RIGHT.

ONE OF THE THINGS I LOVE

ABOUT ADVENT IS BECAUSE I

FEEL LIKE IT IS GOD'S GIFT

TO US.

WE CAN PAUSE AND REFLECT,

AND WE CAN THINK ABOUT

WHAT CHRISTMAS REALLY IS.

IT IS A LOT MORE THAN THE

CHAOS THAT WE'VE COME TO

EXPECT.

WE PUT THE WREATHS ON OUR

KITCHEN TABLE.

WE LIGHT ONE CANDLE THE

FIRST WEEK AND TWO CANDLES

THE SECOND WEEK AND WE

LEARN ABOUT THE PROCESS.

Terry: LET'S TALK A

LITTLE BIT ABOUT WHAT THIS

MEANS.

THIS ISN'T JUST A PRETTY

WREATH THAT YOU SET ON

YOUR TABLE.

THERE ARE SYMBOLS TO ALL

OF THIS?

YES.

THE WREATH IS ROUND

BECAUSE IT SYMBOLIZES

ETERNAL LIFE, THE LIFE WE

HAVE WITH CHRIST.

IT IS GREEN BECAUSE THAT

IS ALSO AN IMAGE OF

ETERNAL LIFE.

AND WE HAVE HO HOLLY BERRIES

BECAUSE IT REMINDS US OF

THE BLOOD CHRIST SHED FOR

US.

AND THE WREATH IS ALMOST

SHAPED IN A CROWN, LIKE

THE CROWN OF THORNS.

Terry: SOME OF THIS

YOU GOT OUT OF YOUR YARD,

WHICH PEOPLE CAN BE

CREATIVE DOING, AND SOME

OF IT YOU ADDED ON?

YES.

YOU CAN ADD ANYTHING.

SOME YEARS I HAVE

HIDRANGESS, OR WHATEVER IS

GROWING IN MY GARDEN.

Terry: IT IS

BEAUTIFUL.

BUT THE SIGNIFICANCE ISN'T

THE SIZE OR THE BEAUTY OF

THE WREATH, BUT IT IS THE

MESSAGE BEHIND IT.

THAT BEGINS TO COME OUR

WAY THROUGH THE LIGHTING

OF THE CANDLES EACH WEEK.

TALK ABOUT THE COLOR OF

THE CANDLES AND WHAT THAT

MEANS?

THE COLOR PURPLE

REPRESENTS THE ROYALTY OF

CHRIST.

PERP PEL IPURPLE IS A ROYAL COLOR.

AND PURPLE IS ALSO THE

COLOR OF REPENTANCE.

SO IT IS IMPORTANT NOT

ONLY JUST TO CELEBRATE

CHRISTMAS AND PREPARE OUR

HEARTS, BUT TO REALLY

THINK ABOUT THE THINGS IN

OUR LIVES, TO REFLECT AND

ASK THE LORD TO HELP US

BECOME MORE WHO HE WANTS

US TO BE.

THE THIRD REASON PURPLE IS

IMPORTANT IS BECAUSE ONE

OF THE SYMBOLS OF ADVENT

IS LIGHT.

RIGHT BEFORE THE SUN COMES

UP, YOU'LL HAVE A PURPLE

SKY, AND IT IS A

PROCLAMATION OF THE SUN

THAT IS JUST ABOUT TO

RISE.

I THINK THAT IS VERY

SIGNIFICANT.

THE PURPLE WOULD BE

PROCLAIMING CHRIST COMING.

SOME PEOPLE CALL THIS THE

MERRY CANDLE.

IT CAN BE CALLED JOY.

THERE IS A PASSAGE IN THE

BIBLE THAT TALKS ABOUT

JESUS BEING THE ROSE OF

SHARING.

AND THE WHITE REPRESENTS

THE PURITY OF CHRIST.

Terry: YOU SAY THIS

IS THE LAST ONE YOU LIGHT.

EACH OF THESE -- YOU BEGIN

WHERE?

FOUR WEEKS BEFORE

CHRISTMAS YOU BEGIN WITH A

PURPLE CANDLE.

WHAT WE WOULD DO AT OUR

HOUSE, I WOULD PUT A

WREATH ON THE TABLE, AND

WE WOULD LIGHT ONE CANDLE

FOR THE FIRST WEEK.

WE TALK ABOUT THE

PROPHECIES, AND THERE ARE

OVER 400 PROPHECIES

PROCLAIMING THE COMING OF

CHRIST.

SO WE LEARN ABOUT THE

PROPHECIES OF CHRIST.

THE SECOND WEEK WE WOULD

LIGHT TWO CANDLES FOR THE

ENTIRE SECOND WEEK.

AND WE WOULD READ ABOUT

THE HOPE THAT IS IN

CHRIST.

THE THIRD WEEK WE LIGHT

THE PINK CANDLE, AND WE

TALK ABOUT THE JOY OF THE

LORD AND THE JOY THAT

CHRIST BRINGS US.

AND THE FOURTH WEEK, WE

LIGHT THE LAST CANDLE, AND

WE TALK ABOUT WORSHIP AND

LEARN ABOUT -- ONE OF THE

THINGS THAT IS IMPORTANT

ABOUT WORSHIP IS WE THINK

IT IS SOMETHING YOU DO IN

CHURCH, YOU WORSHIP AND

HEAR THE MESSAGE.

WORSHIP IS A WAY WE SHOULD

LIVE.

WE LEARN ABOUT WORSHIPPING

THE LORD IN SIMPLE AND

INTIMATE WAYS.

Terry: AND THEN ON

CHRISTMAS MORNING, YOU

WOULD LIGHT ALL OF

THESE --

AND THE CHRIST CANDLE.

BUT WE REALLY LIGHT THE

CHRIST CANDLE OFTENTIMES

ON CHRISTMAS EVE.

AND BY THEN YOU HAVE A

WREATH THAT IS FILLED WITH

LIGHT.

AND I THINK THAT THAT IS

REPRESENTATIVE OF JUST THE

LIGHT OF CHRIST THAT COMES

INTO THE WORLD.

Terry: THIS ACTUALLY

BECOMES A PAUSE IN YOUR

DAY, A MOMENT OF FAMILY

SPENT TOGETHER, FOCUSED ON

WHAT THE SEASON IS ALL

ABOUT.

YOU'VE PUT TOGETHER A

GREAT LITTLE ADVENT BOOK

THAT HAS ACTUALLY DAILY

DEVOTIONS THAT PEOPLE CAN

FOLLOW EACH DAY.

SO YOU DON'T EVEN HAVE TO

THINK UP THIS STUFF.

LISA HAS DONE THE WORK FOR

YOU.

IN 50 SECONDS OR LESS.

[LAUGHTER]

Terry: AND IT HAS

ALSO GOD SOME ADVICE HERE

ON HOW CAN YOU PUT A

SIMPLER WREATH TOGETHER,

IF YOU'D LIKE.

THIS WREATH CAN BE OF YOUR

OWN CREATION.

BUT WHAT IS REALLY

IMPORTANT IS THE FAMILY

TIME, SPENT TOGETHER,

FOCUSING ON THE CHRISTMAS

MESSAGE AND ANTICIPATING

CELEBRATING THE COMING OF

CHRIST.

LISA, THANK YOU.

I LOVE THE MESSAGE THIS

BRINGS, THE MESSAGE OF

HOPE AND CELEBRATION.

MERRY CHRISTMAS.

Terry: AND TO YOU,

TOO.

WE'LL BE BACK WITH MORE

AFTER THIS.

Wendy: COMING UP...

MY RIGHT KNEE TWISTED

SIDEWAYS.

Wendy: ...A FALL AT

HOME, AND A HOLIDAY

MIRACLE.

HE CARES ABOUT THE

DETAILS, HE REALLY DOES.

Wendy: LATER, ON

TODAY'S "700 CLUB."

Pat: WELL, THE

HOLIDAYS ARE THE BUSIEST

TIME OF THE YEAR.

AND THE LAST THING LYNNE

WANTED WAS TO BE

CONSTANTLY ON THE MOVE BUT

IN CONSTANT PAIN.

LYNNE HAD TWISTED HER KNEE

IN A FALL, AND EVERY STEP

WAS AN AGONIZING ONE.

HERE IS HOW SHE GOT BACK

ON HER FEET.

Reporter: WHETHER SHE

IS TRAVELLING, WORKING

AROUND THE HOUSE OR

ENJOYING THE OUTDOORS,

LYNN MILENKEVICH IS ALWAYS

ON THE MOVE.

I'M A VERY PHYSICAL

PERSON.

MOST OF MY ACTIVITIES ARE

BIKING, HIKING, KAYAKING.

I'M ON MY KNEES DURING

PHOTOGRAPHY ON THE GROUND.

Reporter: EVEN HER

PART-TIME JOB, WORKING FOR

A BANQUET SERVICE,

REQUIRES HER TO BE ON HER

FEET CONSTANTLY.

THE DAY AFTER

THANKSGIVING, 2015, LYNNE

WAS HAVING TROUBLE

REHANGING SOME CURTAINS

SHE HAD CLEANED.

I WAS BACKING DOWN THE

LADDER AND MISSED THE LAST

STEP AND FELL SIDEWAYS.

AND MY RIGHT KNEE TWISTED

SIDEWAYS.

AND I THOUGHT I DISLOCATED

IT.

I WAS IN EXTREME PAIN.

I COULDN'T PUT WEIGHT ON

MY FOOT.

Reporter: LYNNE

DECIDED TO WAIT UNTIL

AFTER THE WEEKEND TO SEE

HER DOCTOR.

SHE RESTED AND TOOK SOME

ASPIRIN, BUT NEITHER

HELPED.

I WASN'T RECOVERING

RIGHT AWAY.

I FELT DEPRESSED ABOUT IT.

I COULDN'T DO ANYTHING.

I COULD HOBBLE TO GET TO

SOMETHING, BUT I COULDN'T

WORK ON ANYTHING.

IT HURT TOO BAD.

IT WAS SHARP.

IT WAS VERY PAINFUL.

Reporter: LYNNE

PRAYED OVER THE WEEKEND

FOR HEALING.

ON MONDAY SHE TURNED ON

"THE 700 CLUB."

IT WAS THE HOLIDAYS.

AND I HAD A FULL SCHEDULE.

AND I CAN'T IMAGINE BEING

ON CRUTCHES OR ON IN A

HOSPITAL OR REHAB OR

SOMETHING LIKE THAT DURING

THE HOLIDAYS, WITH ALL OF

THE COMMITMENTS AND

PARTIES AND FESTIVITIES

DURING CHRISTMAS.

Reporter: AND WITH A

BUSY SEASON AHEAD, LYNNE

WAS WORRIED SHE WOULD HAVE

TO MISS WORK.

THAT DAY GORDON WAS

PRAYING FOR PEOPLE IN THE

AUDIENCE.

AND HE SAID, THERE IS

SOMEONE IN THE AUDIENCE

WITH A TORN RIGHT LIGAMENT

IN THEIR KNEE.

Gordon: YOU'RE IN

SEVERE PAIN.

AND GOD IS HEALING THAT.

HE IS ABLE TO RESTORE.

HE IS ABLE TO COMPLETELY

HEAL IN JESUS' NAME.

SO I PUT MY HAND ON MY

KNEE WHERE THAT HURT, AND

I SAID, LORD, I'M GOING TO

CLAIM THAT.

Gordon: DO WHAT YOU

COULDN'T DO BEFORE, BEGIN

TO MOVE THAT KNEE, AND

REALIZE GOD HAS TOUCHED

YOU.

HE HAS RESTORED YOU.

AND INSTANTLY -- I MEAN

INSTANTLY -- THE PAIN

STOPPED AND I COULD MOVE

MY KNEE AND PUT MY WEIGHT

ON MY FOOT, AND I COULD

WALK.

I COULD MOVE LIKE NOTHING

HAPPENED RIGHT AFTER THAT.

I WAS SO EXCITED.

I WAS, LIKE, OH, LORD,

THANK YOU.

I CAN'T THANK YOU ENOUGH.

Reporter: LYNNE

WORKED AN ENTIRE BANQUET

THAT WEEKEND WITHOUT ANY

PAIN.

AND SHE WAS ALSO ABLE TO

GET BACK TO HER ACTIVE

LIFESTYLE, AND HASN'T HAD

ANY PROBLEMS WITH HER KNEE

SINCE.

THIS REALLY CONFIRMS TO

ME THAT GOD REALLY LOVES

US.

HE CARES ABOUT WHETHER WE

FEEL GOOD OR NOT.

I WOULD ENCOURAGE PEOPLE

TO GO TO GOD FIRST BECAUSE

HE REALLY, REALLY CARES

ABOUT US.

HE CARES ABOUT THE

LITTLEST DETAILS OF YOUR

LIFE, LIKE AN INJURY OR A

JOB.

HE CARES ABOUT THE

DETAILS.

HE REALLY DOES.

Pat: WHAT A BEAUTIFUL

THING.

HE CARES.

HE DOES.

YOU KNOW, GOD, WHO IS IN

CHARGE OF ALL OF THE

UNIVERSE, ACTUALLY COMES

DOWN AND IS CONCERNED

ABOUT YOUR HEADACHE.

JUST THINK OF THAT.

WE'VE GOT SOME TESTIMONY

TO SHARE.

Wendy: APRIL OF

KENTUCKY DEVELOPED KNEE

PAIN DURING HER PREGNANCY.

UNFORTUNATELY, THE PAIN

WORSENED AFTER SHE GAVE

BIRTH.

SHE WAS WATCHING "THE 700

CLUB" LATE ONE NIGHT WHEN

SHE HEARD YOU GIVE A WORD

OF KNOWLEDGE, PAT, SAYING,

"YOUR RIGHT KNEE IS

SWOLLEN AND INFLAMED, AND

MOVE YOUR RIGHT KNEE AND

YOU'LL BE HEALED."

THE NEXT MORNING APRIL GOT

UP AND CHECKED HER KNEE,

AND SHE IS FINE, AND SHE

HAS BEEN PAIN-FREE EVER

SINCE.

Pat: HERE IS SOMEBODY

WHO'S NAME IS -- I'M

TRYING TO THINK --

Wendy: RESSI.

Pat: THAT'S WHY I

WANT READ IT.

Wendy: SOUNDS LIKE AN

OWLOLD-FASHIONED NAME.

Pat: SHE FELL AND

INJURED HER NECK.

AND WASN'T DAY SHE WAS

WATCHING THIS PROGRAM AND

SHE HEARD WENDY GIVING A

WORD, "THERE IS SOMEBODY

WITH EXTREME PAIN ON THE

LEFT SIDE OF THEIR NECK,

AND THE PAIN IS LEAVING."

RESSI FELT SOMETHING LIKE

LIGHTNING GOING THROUGH

HER NECK, AND IMMEDIATELY

THE PAIN WAS GONE.

> LISTEN, WE SEE

THOUSANDS OF MIRACLES ON

THIS PROGRAM --

THOUSANDS -- BECAUSE GOD

IS REAL.

AND HE IS ABLE TO DO

EXCEEDINGLY ABOVE WHAT

WITH HOPE OR THINK.

WENDY AND I ARE GOING TO

JOIN HANDS.

FATHER, IN THE NAME OF

JESUS, WE HOLD BEFORE YOU

THE PEOPLE IN THIS

AUDIENCE, THERE IS

SOMEBODY WITH AN INFLAMED

NECK, AND YOU'RE HAVING A

HARD TIME SWALLOWING.

JUST TOUCH YOUR NAME AND

BELIEVE GOD.

TOUCH!

THANK YOU, LORD.

Wendy: THERE IS

SOMEONE, YOU'RE SO ANXIOUS

ABOUT THE HOLIDAYS, AND

ABOUT RELATIVES.

AND THE LORD IS SAYING,

YOU NEED TO FORGIVE, AND

THAT ANXIETY WILL LEAVE IN

THE NAME OF JESUS.

JUST FORGIVE AND YOU'LL

RECEIVE PEACE AND FREEDOM

IN JESUS' NAME.

Pat: I CONCUR WITH

THAT.

PEACE WILL FLOW DOWN LIKE

A RIVER.

YOU WILL KNOW PEACE IN

YOUR HEART.

THIS IS GOING TO BE ONE OF

THE GREATEST HOLIDAYS

YOU'VE EVER EXPERIENCED

BECAUSE THE PEACE OF GOD

IS GOING TO SURROUND YOU

AND YOUR FAMILY.

WENDY?

Wendy: THERE IS

SOMEONE -- ACTUALLY, GOD

IS TOUCHING FEET RIGHT

NOW.

IF YOU'VE GOT ANY KIND OF

PROBLEM WITH YOUR FEET,

LAY YOUR HANDS WHERE IT

HURTS, AND GOD CAN TAKE

THAT PAIN IN JESUS' NAME.

Pat: THANK YOU, LORD.

> A HEADACHE THA HAS JUST

LEFT IN THE NAME OF JESUS.

YOU'VE GOT A CONCUSSION,

AND THE LORD JUST HEALED

THAT.

YOUR BRAIN IS COMPLETELY

WHOLE IN THE NAME OF

JESUS.

Wendy: THERE IS

SOMEONE WITH A KNEE

PROBLEM, JUST LAY YOUR

HANDS ON YOUR KNEE AND GOD

IS TOUCHING YOU, AND

YOU'RE GOING TO BE HEALED

IN JESUS' NAME.

Pat: WHEREVER YOU

ARE, JUST PRAISE GOD.

GIVE HIM THANKS AND

PRAISE.

WORSHIP THE LORD AND

RECEIVE THE GOOD THINGS

THAT THE LORD HAS FOR YOU.

LOOK, WE'D LOVE TO HEAR

FROM YOU.

WE LOVE THE TESTIMONIES OF

PEOPLE THAT HAVE BEEN

HEALED, AND WE ALSO LOVE

TO BE ABLE TO PRAY FOR

YOU.

THE NUMBER IS TOLL-FREE.

IT WON'T COST YOU A THING.

PICK UP THE PHONE AND CALL

IN.

IT IS 1-800-700-7000.

CALL IN.

WE WANT TO HEAR THE GOOD

NEWS OF WHAT GOD HAS DONE

FOR YOU.

WENDY?

Wendy: STILL AHEAD,

PAT HEADS TO THE HOT SEAT

FOR ANOTHER ROUND OF YOUR

QUESTIONS AND HONEST

ANSWERS.

> FIRST, A 10-YEAR-OLD

WHO WANTS TO BE JUST LIKE

HER TV HERO.

HEAR HOW SHE IS CHANGING

LIVES IN HER SCHOOL, DOING

JUST THAT, WHEN WE RETURN.

Efrem: AND WELCOME

BACK TO "THE 700 CLUB."

A U.S. NAVY PLANE CARRYING

11 PEOPLE HAS CRASHED IN

THE PACIFIC.

AT LEAST 8 SURVIVORS HAVE

BEEN RESCUED AND THEY'RE

IN GOOD CONDITION.

THE GREYHOUND TRANSPORT

AIRCRAFT CRASHED WHILE

FLYING ACROSS JAPAN.

THE CAUSE OF THE CRASH IS

NOT CLEAR.

THE NAMES OF THE CREW AND

PASSENGERS ARE BEING

WITHHELD UNTIL THEIR

FAMILIES ARE NOTIFIED.

> MANY AMERICAN FAMILIES

WILL SAY GRACE AROUND THE

THANKSGIVING TABLE, BUT

ONLY A SMALL MAJORITY WILL

PAUSE TO THANK GOD.

ACCORDING TO A SURVEY, 59%

OF AMERICANS SAY A PRAYER

BEFORE THE THANKSGIVING

FEEL, AND 24% ONLY SAY A

PRAYER SOMETIMES.

AND 17% NEVER SAY A

PRAYER.

AND WOMEN ARE MORE

THANKFUL FOR FAMILY THAN

MEN, AND MEN ARE MORE

THANKFUL FOR THE FOOD.

YOU CAN ALWAYS GET THE

LATEST FROM CBN NEWS BY

GOING TO OUR WEBSITE AT

cbnnews.com.

WE'LL BE BACK WITH MORE OF

"THE 700 CLUB" RIGHT AFTER

THIS.

Wendy: EINIA IS A

YOUNG GIRL LIVING IN

ALBANIA, WHO HAS A ROLE

MODEL.

SHE WANTS TO BE LOVING AND

KIND LIKE JOY, FROM CBN'S

ANIMATED "SUPERBOOK."

HER MOTHER SAYS IT HAS

CHANGED HER LIFE.

WHEN I WAS FIVE OR SIX

YEARS OLD, I WATCHED

"SUPERBOOK" FOR THE FIRST

TIME.

Reporter: 10-YEAR-OLD

EINIA FOUND A HERO IN HER

FAVORITE CARTOON SERIES.

I'M THINKING ALL OF THE

TIME, WHY CAN'T I BECOME

LIKE JOY.

SHE BELIEVES IN GOD AND

SHE IS GOOD AND KIND.

I BEGAN TO BELIEVE AND I

STARTED TO PRAY.

THIS CARTOON CHANGED

THE LIFE OF MY DAUGHTER.

I THOUGHT, JOY CAN BE

SO KIND AND BRAVE, AND SO

CAN I.

Reporter: SO EINIA

BEFRIENDED A CHILD AT

SCHOOL WHO HAD BEEN

BULLIED BY CLASSMATES.

I FOUND OUT SHE WAS A

NICE PERSON.

AND I REALIZED THAT ALL

PEOPLE NEED TO BE GIVEN A

CHANCE.

Reporter: EINIA IS

ONE OF THOUSANDS OF

CHILDREN ACROSS ALBANIA,

WHO'S LIFE HAS BEEN

CHANGED THROUGH CBN'S

"SUPERBOOK."

RACHEL BYLER HAS WITNESSED

THE INFLUENCE OF

"SUPERBOOK" FIRSTHAND.

WE LOVE THE SHOW

"SUPERBOOK" IN ALBANIA,

BECAUSE WHEREVER WE GO --

AND THIS IS TRUE --

WHEREVER WE GO, THE KIDS

ALL KNOW THE SONG.

AND IT IS THE SONG OF

SALVATION.

*

[SINGING IN FOREIGN

LANGUAGE]

THIS CARTOON IS VERY

IMPORTANT FOR OUR COUNTRY

BECAUSE SO MANY CHILDREN

ARE IN FAMILIES WHO DON'T

KNOW JESUS.

BUT NOW THEY KNOW GIZMO,

JOY, AND CHRIS, AND THEY

HEAR ABOUT GOD THROUGH

NOW I TALK TO MY

FRIENDS ABOUT JESUS.

> COMING UP NEXT, JOEY

ASKS, "IS IT WRONG TO FILE

FOR DIVORCE BECAUSE YOUR

HUSBAND REFUSES TO WORK?"

STAY TUNED FOR YOUR

QUESTIONS AND HONEST

ANSWERS, NEXT.

Wendy: ALL RIGHT.

IT IS TIME FOR YOUR

QUESTIONS AND SOME HONEST

ANSWERS.

JOEY SAYS, "IS IT WRONG TO

FILE FOR DIVORCE BECAUSE

YOUR HUSBAND REFUSES TO

WORK?

I WORK FULL-TIME TO

SUPPORT THE FAMILY AND

STRUGGLE TO PAY THE BILLS

ON JUST MY SALARY.

WHEN I ASK HIM TO GET A

PART-TIME JOB TO

SUPPLEMENT MY INCOME, HE

MAKES UP EXCUSES AS TO WHY

HE CAN'T WORK.

I'M AT MY WITS END, AND

AFTER MORE THAN 10 YEARS

OF BEGGING MY HUSBAND TO

WORK, I'M DONE.

WHAT CAN I DO TO GET THIS

GUY TO FIND A JOB TO HELP

SUPPORT HIS FAMILY?"

Pat: THE APOSTLE PAUL

SAID, IF ANYBODY WILL NOT

TAKE CARE OF HIS OWN

FAMILY, HE HAS DENIED THE

FAITH AND HE IS WORSE THAN

IN INFIDEL.

THIS GUY IS A DEADBEAT, HE

IS NOT WORKING.

THE BIBLE SAYS HE REFUSES

TO TAKE CARE OF HIS

FAMILY.

HE IS WORSE THAN AN

INFIDEL.

THAT MEANS YOU CAN TREAT

HIM LIKE AN INFIDEL.

I DON'T KNOW IF YOU CAN

SAY THIS IS CONSTRUCTIVE

DESERTION -- I DON'T KNOW

IF THAT IS A STRETCH.

YOU SAID, IS IT WRONG TO

DIVORCE HIM?

I THINK YOU CAN GET A

SEPARATION AND LIVE YOUR

OWN LIFE.

THIS IS RIDICULOUS.

TO HAVE TO PUT UP WITH

THIS GUY FOR 10 YEARS.

WHAT IS WRONG WITH HIM?

Wendy: I AGREE.

HE IS NOT REALLY

PARTICIPATING IN THAT

MARRIAGE.

Pat: NOT AT ALL.

Wendy: HERE IS MIKE.

AND HE SAYS, "TEENAGERS

NOWADAYS MAKE TECHNOLOGY

THE PRIMARY CHOICE IN

THEIR LIVES.

I FEEL ASHAMED AS A TEAM

TO SEE WHERE SOCIAL MEDIA

IS LEADING OUR YOUTH

TODAY.

I KNOW TALKING ABOUT JESUS

IS A JOKE TO THEM, BUT HOW

DO I CONVINCE THEM THAT

JESUS IS THE KEY TO

EVERYTHING?"

Pat: WELL, THE WAY

YOU CAN TEACH THEM IS TO

ACT LIKE HE IS EVERYTHING,

EVERYTHING TO YOU.

AND THE BIBLE SAYS -- AND

I THINK IT IS TRUE -- IF

YOU TRAIN UP A YOUNG

PERSON IN THE WAY HE

SHOULD GO, WHEN HE IS OLD,

HE WON'T DEPART FROM IT.

I THINK THAT'S -- I DON'T

KNOW WHAT ELSE TO SAY

ACCEPT THAT THEY WILL COME

TO THE LORD.

IF YOU LIVE THAT LIFE

BEFORE THEM.

WE'RE SEEING AT REGENT

UNIVERSITY HUNDREDS -- AND

I MEAN HUNDREDS OF THE

STUDENTS WHO MEET FOR

PRAYER VOLUNTARILY ON

THURSDAY NIGHT.

HUNDREDS OF THEM CRYING

OUT TO GOD.

AND THERE IS A TREMENDOUS

REVIVAL AMONG THE YOUTH.

SO DON'T WORRY ABOUT IT.

JUST -- IN THAT CASE, YOU

COULD PROBABLY INTRODUCE

THEM TO SOME PEOPLE WHO

REALLY LOVE GOD, AND GET

THEM IN THAT ENVIRONMENT,

AND ALL OF A SUDDEN IT

WILL CHANGE THEIR LIVES.

Wendy: GOOD WORD.

DANIELLE SAYS, "WHY DID

NOAH PUNISH HAM'S SON,

CAMIN, AND NOT HAM.

I WONDERED WHY NOAH WAS

MAD AT HAM FOR SEEING HIM

UNDRESSED."

Pat: WELL, I DON'T

KNOW.

WHY WAS HE MAD?

NOAH IS AN OLD GUY.

HE WAS 500 OR 600 YEARS

OLD.

HE GETS DRUNK AFTER THE

FLOOD.

HE GETS GRAPES AND HE GETS

DRUNK.

SO HE GETS DRUNK AND HE IS

NAKED.

SO HE IS LYING THERE, AND

THE OTHER CHILDREN HAVE A

GARMENT AND THEY BACK UP

TO NOAH SO THEY DON'T SEE

HIM, AND THEY DROP HIS

GARMENT ON HIM.

HAM LOOKS AT HIM AND KIND

OF LAUGHS.

WELL, THERE WAS A CURSE ON

HAM.

AND HIS GENERATIONS, THE

DESCENDENTS OF HAM ARE THE

ONES THAT LIVE IN AFRICA,

PRIMARILY.

AND THERE ARE SOME OTHER

PEOPLE WHO ARE FROM THE

HAM LINE THAT ARE THE

MIDDLE EAST AREA.

WHAT DOES IT MEAN?

WHY DID HE GET MAD AT HIM?

WELL, IT WAS JUST

DISRESPECTFUL TO BE

LAUGHING AT A NAKED

600-YEAR-OLD MAN.

AND THAT DIDN'T SHOW THE

RESPECT THAT HE DESERVED.

LISTEN, I DIDN'T RIGHT THE

BIBLE.

YOU ASK ME WHY DID HE GET

MAD?

I HAVE NO IDEA.

Wendy: I THINK YOU

HIT THE NAIL ON THE HEAD

WITH THE DISRESPECT.

> DEBBIE SAYS, "IS IT

OKAY TO USE ACUPUNCTURE

FOR HEALING.

I'M GOING TO A NATURAL

DOCTOR AND WAS ASKED IF IT

WOULD BE OKAY WITH IT?"

Pat: I HAD AN

ACUPUNCTURIST WHO WORKED

ON OUR HORSES, AND THEY'RE

VERY HELPFUL.

IF THEY PUT THOSE NEEDLES

IN THE RIGHT PLACE AND

ACTIVATE THEM WITH

ELECTRICITY, OR MOVEMENT,

IT RELEASES THOSE

BLOCKAGES AND LET'S

HEALING FLOW THROUGH THE

BODY.

I THINK ACUPUNCTURE IS A

GOOD THING.

Wendy: THOSE WERE

SOME GREAT QUESTIONS.

Pat: IS THAT ALL OF

THE TIME WE'VE GOT?

I JUST THINK IT IS -- THE

CHINESE USE IT IN PLACE OF

ANESTHESIA, AND IT'S

AMAZING.

Wendy: REALLY?

Pat: OH, YEAH.

IT IS REMARKABLE.

OUR BODIES ARE RATHER

FEARFULLY AND WONDERFULLY

MADE.

> WELL, THAT'S ALL THE

TIME WE'VE GOT.

WE WISH YOU ALL A VERY

WONDERFUL THANKSGIVING.

AND WE LEAVE YOU WITH

THESE WORDS FROM 2

CORINTHIANS: "MAY THE

GRACE OF OUR LORD JESUS

CHRIST, THE LOVE OF GOD,

AND THE FELLOWSHIP OF THE

HOLY SPIRIT BE WITH YOU

ALL."

> WELL, TOMORROW, WE'VE

GOT A SPECIAL THANKSGIVING

EPISODE OF "THE 700 CLUB,"

AND WE'LL TAKE YOU BACK TO

PLYMOUTH ROCK.

YOU'LL HEAR A PATRIOTIC

PERFORMANCE FROM SINGER

IRENE MANDRELL, AND YOU'LL

FIND OUT SOME OTHER THINGS

ABOUT THANKSGIVING THAT

POSSIBLY YOU DIDN'T KNOW,

SO I THINK IT WILL BE FUN.

FOR WENDY AND ALL OF US,

THIS IS PAT ROBERTSON, AND

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR

BEING HERE.

HAVE A GREAT THANKSGIVING.

GOD BLESS YOU.

BYE-BYE.
