Gordon: IT'S A SIDE

OF SCOTT ROSS YOU'VE NEVER

SEEN BEFORE.

I WENT TO CHURCH, BUT I

STOOD IN THE PARKING LOT

AND GOT HIGH FIRST.

Gordon: HE AND HIS

WIFE NEDRA LOOK BACK AT 50

YEARS OF MINISTRIES, AND

STICKING TOGETHER THROUGH

THICK AND THIN.

IF ANYTHING, IT WAS US

AGAINST THE WORLD.

Gordon: ON TODAY'S

"700 CLUB INTERACTIVE."

> WELL, WELCOME TO THE

SHOW.

HERE IS EFREM GRAHAM WITH

THIS WEEK'S TOP FIVE

STORIES FROM "STUDIO 5."

Efrem: AT NUMBER

FIVE...

[APPLAUSE]

Efrem: UNIVERSITY OF

CENTRAL FLORIDA STAR

LINEBACKER SHAKEEM GRIFFIN

JOINED HIS BROTHER, AND HE

DOES IT WITH ONLY ONE

HAND.

THE ROAD HERE, SOMEONE

WOULD SAY IMPOSSIBLE.

BORN WITH A UNFORMED LEFT

HAND.

FIRST I THOUGHT, HOW IS

HE GOING TO BE ABLE TO

HANDLE IT AS A LITTLE KID.

I NEEDED SOMEBODY TO

GIVE ME A CHANCE TO SHOW

THEM WHAT I CAN DO.

HEY, IT'S JOHN

SCHNEIDER CALLING, BUDDY,

HOW ARE YOU DOING?

I CAN'T EVEN BREATHE

RIGHT NOW.

IT IS A DREAM COME TRUE

FOR US, TOO, BUDDY.

WE'RE HAPPY TO HAVE YOU,

MAN.

Efrem: AT NUMBER

FOUR...

EVERYBODY WANTS TO MEET

YOU WHEN YOU'RE A

SUPERSTAR, BUT KATY PERRY

WANTED TO MEET THE POPE,

AND SHE DID.

I'M HERE IN ROME AT THE

VATICAN, AND I'M HERE WITH

MY MAMA.

IT IS A GREAT DAY.

THE SINGER AND HER

BOYFRIEND, ORA ORLANDO BLOOM,

MET THE BOYFRIEND IN

VATICAN CITY.

Efrem: AT NUMBER

THREE...BIEBER ON DRUMS.

THE POP STAR CONTINUES TO

SHARE THIS FAITH WITH HIS

MORE THAN 99 MILLION

INSTAGRAM FOLLOWERS,

POSTING THIS PHOTO OF

HIMSELF, STANDING NEAR A

WOODEN CROSS.

IT CAME DURING A CANADIAN

TRIP ON SUNDAY, VISITING

HIS GRANDPARENTS, AND

TOURING A MUSEUM ABOUT HIS

LIFE.

AND HE ALSO POSTED THIS

PHOTO, WITH THE CAPTION:

"RUNNING FROM THE DEVIL."

THE BIEB ALSO HAS THIS

LINK TO HIS HILLSONG

WORSHIP TUNE ON HIS PAGE.

* I SURRENDER

* I SURRENDER

Efrem: AT NUMBER

TWO...ACTOR WILL SMITH HAS

ATTRACTEDED MORATTRACTED MORE THAN

50 MILLION FOLLOWERS ON

INSTAGRAM IN ONLY FOUR

MONTHS.

HE USED HIS SKYDIVING TRIP

TO DUBAI TO SHARE A LESSON

ABOUT GOD AND FEAR.

YOU GO UP TO 14,000

FEET, AND THE GUY WALKS

YOU UP, AND YOU'RE LOOKING

DOWN TO DEATH.

AND THEY SAY, ON THREE.

ONE -- AND HE PUSHES YOU

ON TWO BECAUSE PEOPLE GRAB

ON THREE.

AND YOU FALL OUT OF THE

AIRPLANE.

AND IN ONE SECOND YOU

REALIZE THAT IT'S THE MOST

BLISS FULL EXPERIENCBLISSFUL EXPERIENCE OF

YOUR LIFE.

YOU REALIZE THAT AT THE

POINT OF MAXIMUM DANGER,

THERE IS A POINT OF

MINIMUM FEAR.

AND GOD PLACES THE BEST

THINGS IN LIFE ON THE

OTHER SIDE OF FEAR.

Efrem: AT NUMBER

ONE...

*

Efrem: THIS VIDEO OF

A HIGH SCHOOL KID SINGING

IN A SCHOOL CAFETERIA HAS

PULLED MORE THAN A MILLION

VIEWS ON YouTube, AND

EARNED THE YOUNG MAN A

RECORD DEAL.

* THIS AIN'T NO ORDINARY

WORLD *

* THIS AIN'T NO ORDINARY

TIME *

Efrem: FRESH OUT OF

HIGH SCHOOL, HIS FIRST

ALBUM, "THE HIGHER

EXPERIENCE," IS AVAILABLE

NOW.

"STUDIO 5" FIVE CAUGHT UP

WITH GALANTE AT THE

ATLANTA STOP OF HIS TOUR.

WE SIT HERE AS A

COMPLETED ALBUM HAS NOW

BEEN RELEASED FOR PEOPLE

TO HEAR.

HOW ARE YOU YO FEELING?

MAN, I FEEL INCREDIBLE,

EXTRAORDINARY.

THE ALBUM RELEASED

APRIL 27, 2018.

I'M SO GRATEFUL TO GOD

THAT I'M ABLE TO BLESS THE

WORLD.

LITERALLY, WHEN YOU HEAR

IT, YOU'RE GOING TO HEAR

MY HEART.

I'M JUST BLESSED THAT THE

WORLD GETS TO EXPERIENCE

THE MINISTRY OF CALANTE

GAVIN.

Gordon: I FEEL

INCREDIBLE.

Efrem: 19 AND A

RECORD DEAL.

NICE.

I'VE LOVED HIM FROM THE

YouTube VIDEO THAT

ACTUALLY FIRST POSTED

SEVERAL YEARS AGO.

HE HAS NOW SINCE GRADUATED

HIGH SCHOOL.

I LOVED HIM THEN AND THEN

FOLLOWED HIM.

AND THEN HE DOES GET A

RECORD DEAL, BASED ON THAT

YouTube CLIP.

THE RECORD PRESIDENT SAW

HIM AND PURSUED HIM.

AND WHAT I REALLY RESPECT

ABOUT HIM AND HIS PARENTS,

WHEN THE RECORD LABEL

APPROACHED HIM, THEY

INITIALLY SAID NO, HE IS

NOT READY.

AND THEY SAID HE WAS NOT

READY BECAUSE HE WASN'T

READY FOR MINISTRY.

HE KNEW TO GET READY AND

PREPARE HIMSELF AND TRULY

GET HIS HEART RIGHT WITH

GOD.

Gordon: SO IS HE

GOING TO COLLEGE --

Efrem: I THINK RIGHT

NOW HE IS GOING TO TAKE A

LITTLE BREAK.

TOUR WITH THIS ALBUM, AND

SEE HOW THIS GOES.

BUT YOU CAN FIND HIM ON

THE TOUR CIRCUIT.

HE SPENDS THE BULK OF THE

TIME MINISTERING, BECAUSE

IT IS FILLED WITH YOUNG

PEOPLE LIKE HIMSELF.

AND HE IS TELLING THEM,

YOU CAN HAVE FUN, BE YOU,

AND BE WHO GOD CREATED YOU

YOU TO BE.

TO BE.

Gordon: IS HE GOING

TO COLLEGE?

Efrem: I DON'T KNOW

IF HE IS GOING TO COLLEGE.

WE'LL HAVE TO SEE HOW THIS

RECORD THING GOES.

I'M CERTAINLY GOING TO

STAY IN TOUCH WITH HIM.

I REALLY LOVE HIM AND HIS

FAMILY.

Gordon: WILL SMITH,

SKYDIVING, TALKING ABOUT

FAITH?

Efrem: I LOVE THAT

LINE.

I REMEMBER WHEN SHE TOOK

THAT TRIP, AND HE WAS

BEING INTERVIEWED ABOUT IT

AND TALKED ABOUT THE FACT

THAT, YOU YO KNOW, THAT POINT

OF MAXIMAL DANGER IS THE

POINT OF MINIMAL FEAR.

AND GOD PLACES THE BEST

THINGS ON THE OTHER SIDE

OF FEAR.

HOW MANY OF US CAN SAY

THERE ARE THINGS THAT GOD

HAS CALLED US TO DO, BUT

WE'RE AFRAID, BUT WHEN YOU

TRUST HIM AND MOVE PAST

THAT FEAR, BOY, REPRESENT

YOU GLAD.

Gordon: LIKE A JOSHUA

MOMENT.

Efrem: INDEED.

Gordon: JUSTIN

BIEBER, IS HE GOING INTO

MINISTRY?

Efrem: YOU KNOW, I'M

PLEASED WITH HIM.

HE IS IN THE PROCESS OF

WORKING ON ANOTHER ALBUM.

IT IS VERY LIKELY THE

ALBUM WILL COME OUT AT THE

END OF THIS YEAR OR EARLY

NEXT YEAR, AND IT WILL BE

AN ALBUM OF WORSHIP.

I WOULD BE VERY SURPRISED

IF THAT'S NOT THE CASE.

THAT'S WHAT ALL THOSE OUT

THERE ARE SAYING, THAT HE

STILL HAS THE SAME TEAM

AROUND HIM, BUT ADDING

OTHER VOICES IN THERE.

AND THEY'RE HELPING TO

SHAPE THE MUSIC.

AND YOU SEE HIM TWEETING

HILLSONG, FOLLOWING THEM,

BEING AT THEIR CONCERTS.

HE IS DEFINITELY

INFLUENCED BY THEM.

HIS NEXT ALBUM WILL

CERTAINLY BE AN ALBUM OF

MINISTRY TO SOME DEGREE.

Gordon: YOU PLACED

YOUR BETS.

YOU CAME OUT AND SAID IT

WAS GOING TO BE A WORSHIP

ALBUM, AND THEN TO SOME

DEGREE.

Efrem: HE HAS GOT TO

PLEASE HIS FANS.

Gordon: WHY WOULDN'T

A WORSHIP ALBUM PLEASE HIS

FANS?

Efrem: I'M A FAN.

I'D BE HAPPY WITH IT.

BUT I KNOW THEY WANT TO

HEAR HIM SING ABOUT LOVE

AND ROMANCE, TOO.

Gordon: THAT CAN BE

WORSHIP, TOO?

Efrem: THAT'S THE

ULTIMATE WORSHIP, INDEED.

Gordon: KATY PERRY

GOING TO SEE THE POPE.

IS SHE GOING INTO

MINISTRY?

Efrem: I DON'T THINK

SO.

BUT A DREAM COME TRUE, AND

FOR HER MOM TO BE THERE

WITH HER.

THEY'RE PART OF A -- IT'S

A HUMAN RIGHTS AND HEALTH

INITIATIVE THAT WAS

HAPPENING THIS WEEKEND,

AND SHE WAS THERE IN

SUPPORT OF THAT.

BUT SHE HAS LONG SAID SHE

HAS WANTED TO MEET THE

POPE, AND SHE GOT THE

OPPORTUNITY ON SATURDAY, I

BELIEVE IT WAS.

Gordon: GOOD FOR HER.

> THE RISING STAR IN THE

NFL, SHAKEEM.

I SAW HIM PLAY AND HE WAS

SO INSPIRING.

HERE HE IS, BUSTING INTO

THE BACK FIELD PRETTY MUCH

ON EVERY PLAY, AND BEING A

SUPERSTAR ON DEFENSE FOR

THE UNIVERSITY OF CENTRAL

FLORIDA.

AND NOW GOING TO BE -- SO

HE IS GOING TO BE WITH HIS

BROTHER?

Efrem: HE IS GOING TO

BE WITH HIS BROTHER, FOR

THE SEATTLE SEAHAWKS.

WHAT A NICE, NICE STORY.

AND YOU KNOW, CREDIT TO

HIS DAD BECAUSE THEY'RE

TWINS.

BOTH LOVE FOOTBALL.

AND HE ALWAYS MADE THEM

PLAY TOGETHER, TO

CHALLENGE EACH OTHER, SO

THAT HIS SON, WHO WAS

MISSING A HAND, WOULD NOT

BE ABLE TO TAKE THAT AS AN

OBSTACLE TO PREVENT HIM.

SO HIS BROTHER CHALLENGED

HIM, AND THEN TO NOW GO

AND PLAY WITH YOUR

BROTHER -- HIS BROTHER

JOINED THE SEATTLE

SEAHAWKS LAST YEAR, AND HE

WAS NUMBER THREE IN THE

DRAFT, AND SHAKEEM WAS

NUMBER FIVE, AND FOR THEM

TO PLAY TOGETHER IS

CERTAINLY A DREAM COME

TRUE.

I WOULD SAY THIS, WHEN

THEY CALLED HIS NAME, IT

IS MY UNDERSTANDING FROM

THE STORY THAT I'VE SEEN,

HE WAS IN THE BATHROOM AT

THE TIME.

HE DECIDED TO GO TAKE A

BREAK.

AND THEY'RE BANGING ON THE

BATHROOM DOOR SAYING,

YOU'RE MISSING IT.

GET OUT HERE.

GET OUT HERE!

Gordon: I'M NOT GOING

TO THE TOP FIVE, THAT'S

NOT GOING TO HAPPEN.

I'VE GOT TIME.

Efrem: I'VE GOT TIME,

BUT HE GOT CALLED.

I THINK IT WAS A COUSIN OR

SOMEONE LITERALLY BANGING

DOWN THE DOOR SAYING, GET

OUT HERE.

GET OUT HERE!

THERE IS A PHONE CALL FOR

YOU.

Gordon: TELL THEM

I'LL CALL THEM BACK.

Efrem: IT IS A GREAT

TEAM, THE SEATTLE

SEAHAWKS.

Gordon: IT WILL BE

INCREDIBLE TO SEE THAT ON

THE FIELD.

Efrem: LOOKING

FORWARD TO IT.

Gordon: FOR ALL OF

THE LATEST IN

ENTERTAINMENT NEWS, CHECK

OUT EFREM'S WEEKLY SHOW,

"STUDIO 5."

AND YOU CAN WATCH IT

ONLINE AT CBN/"STUDIO 5."

> COMING UP, SCOTT ROSS

GETS HIS TURN IN THE HOT

SEAT, AND HE GETS

QUESTIONED ABOUT HIS LIFE,

HHIS CONTROVERSIAL

MARRIAGE, AND HIS CANCER

DIAGNOSIS.

THE BIG "C" IS NOT

CANCER, IT IS CHRIST.

THE BIG "C" IS NOT CANCER,

IT IS THE CROSS.

THAT'S WHERE TRUST COMES

IN AND WHERE FAITH COMES

IN.

AND YOU HAVE TO HOLD TO

THAT -- YOU MUST.

THAT'S WHY IT IS BACK TO

THE WORD.

Gordon: SCOTT ROSS

Gordon: SINCE THE

1960s, SCOTT ROSS HAS

BEEN A CLOSE FRIEND OF OUR

FAMILY AND A VITAL PART OF

THE MINISTRY HERE AT CBN.

RECENTLY HE AND HIS WIFE,

NEDRA, SAT DOWN WITH

ANDREW NO KNOX TO TALK ABOUT

SOME OF THE CHALLENGES

THEY HAVE FACED OVER 50

YEARS OF MARRIAGE AND TO

SHARE THE SECRET OF THEIR

SUCCESS.

Reporter: NEDRA AND

SCOTT, CONGRATULATIONS ON

OVER 50 YEARS OF MARRIAGE.

THAT IS AWESOME.

THANK YOU.

THANK YOU.

WE DID IT, NEDRA.

WE DID IT.

IS IT REALLY HALF A

CENTURY?

I'M EXHAUSTED.

Reporter: YOU DID

REALLY WELL, SCOTT.

SHE IS A LOVELY LADY.

YOU MET AND SHE WAS A

RONETTE, AND YOU WERE

CAPTIVATED RIGHT AT THE

BEGINNING.

ALSO, YOU MET ME AT 16,

BEFORE "BE MY BABY."

AND SHE BECAME MY BABY.

SHE WAS A RONETTE, SELLING

MILLIONS OF RECORDS, AND

WENT AROUND THE UNITED

STATES WITH THE BEATLES.

AND GOING TO ENGLAND, AND

THE BEATLES THROW A BIG

PARTY FOR HER.

ALL THIS STUFF AROUND

NEDRA, BUT NUMBER ONE, SHE

WANTED TO BE A WIFE AND A

MOTHER.

AND A GRANDMOTHER, WHEN

I WAS YOUNG.

YEAH, AND A

GRANDMOTHER.

THIS IS WHERE HER HEART

WAS.

SO HER HEART IS FOR GOD,

THE LORD, AND HER HUSBAND

AND HER CHILDREN.

SHE HIT THE GROUND RUNNING

AS A MOTHER.

Reporter: YOU GET

MARRIED, AND 50 YEARS AGO

AN INTERRACIAL MARRIAGE,

THAT MUST HAVE BEEN A

REALLY TOUGH START.

WE WERE TALKING ABOUT

THAT LAST NIGHT.

BECAUSE OF BEING IN NEW

YORK, WE DID NOT HAVE WHAT

WAS GOING ON AROUND THE

COUNTRY BECAUSE IT WAS NEW

YORK.

AND SO NEW YORK WAS JUST

MAYBE -- MAYBE WITH

SEGREGATION AND STUFF LIKE

THAT, MAYBE IT WAS BEHIND

THE SCENE.

IT WASN'T UP FRONT.

LATER ON, WHEN WE CAME TO

VIRGINIA HERE, THEN WE SAW

WHAT -- THE RACIAL SIDES

OF THINGS IN VIRGINIA.

JUST PEOPLE WANTING TO

KNOW WHAT WAS I.

AND I WOULD GO, WHAT DO

YOU MEAN WHAT AM I?

YOU KNOW.

WE WERE DOING SOME TV,

AND TO PAT ROBERTSON'S

CREDIT, I WAS REALLY

ACCOSTED BY SOME PEOPLE,

SO-CALLED CHRISTIANS, WHO

WANTED TO KNOW, SAME

THING, WHERE IS SHE FROM,

INTERRACIAL MARRIAGE, ETC.

AND THERE WERE PEOPLE WHO

DID NOT WANT TO SUPPORT

THE FLEDGLING CBN AT THAT

TIME BECAUSE OF OUR

MARRIAGE.

BUT PAT STOOD WITH US AND

SAID, YOU KNOW, MONEY IS

NOT THE ISSUE.

AND THESE TWO ARE MARRIED

BEFORE GOD, AND THAT'S

THAT.

AND SO WE HAD THAT KIND OF

SUPPORT.

Reporter: DID THESE

EXPERIENCES BRING YOU TWO

CLOSER TOGETHER, OR DID IT

CREATE TENSION FOR YOU?

IF ANYTHING, IT WAS US

AGAINST THE WORLD.

WE ARE WHO WE ARE, AND

WE'RE STICKING TOGETHER.

AND, ACTUALLY, WHEN WE

STARTED TO PRAY TOGETHER

WAS ON OUR HONEYMOON,

WHICH WE REALLY DIDN'T

KNOW TO DO THAT SO MUCH.

WE HAD COME TO THE LORD

AND HAD A REAL EXPERIENCE

WITH JESUS.

Reporter: TOGETHER?

TOGETHER.

Reporter: WHAT WAS

THAT EXPERIENCE?

I WAS FROM SCOTLAND,

AND MY DAD WAS IN

MINISTRY.

I HAD GIVEN MY LIFE TO THE

LORD WHEN I WAS FIVE.

CAME TO AMERICA WHEN I WAS

10.

BUT THE CHALLENGES OF A

NEW CULTURE AND A NUMBER

OF OTHER THINGS, I WALKED

AWAY FROM THE LORD FOR A

LONG TIME.

SO WHEN I WAS IN NEW YORK,

I WASN'T REALLY WALKING

WITH THE LORD.

SO I CAME BACK TO THE LORD

IN A SMALL CHURCH OUTSIDE

HAGERSTOWN, MARYLAND,

WHERE MY MOM LIVED AND I

LIVED.

AND I CAME DOWN TO VISIT

HER WITH NEDRA.

AND MOM WANTED ME TO GO TO

CHURCH.

I WENT TO CHURCH, BUT I

STOOD IN THE PARKING LOT

AND GOT HIGH FIRST ON

GRASS, WEED, MARIJUANA.

IT'S LEGAL IN CALIFORNIA,

YOU KNOW.

BUT, ANYWAY -- I GOT HIGH

AND WENT TO THE CHURCH.

AND I ALWAYS SAY THIS, I

SAT WAY IN THE BACK, WHERE

THE LORD COULDN'T SEE US.

BUT IN THE MIDDLE OF THIS

CHURCH SERVICE, SOMEONE

HAD A WORD.

THERE WERE TWO PEOPLE

THERE THAT THE LORD WAS

CALLING.

AND HE SAID, COME BACK TO

ME.

I'LL TAKE CARE OF YOUR

WORRIES.

PUT THEM ON ME.

Reporter: SO A

FOUNDATION OF YOUR

MARRIAGE HAS BEEN PRAYING

TOGETHER?

ABSOLUTELY.

Reporter: EVERY DAY?

EVERY DAY.

AFTER WE GOT MARRIED,

PASTOR VICK GAVE US A GIFT

OF A SMALL, LITTLE BIBLE.

THIS IS IT.

IT'S CALLED "DAILY LIGHT."

LOOK, IT IS KIND OF BEAT

UP.

THAT'S 50 YEARS WORTH OF

READING.

IT NEEDS A -- ANY OF YOU

BINDING PEOPLE OUT THERE

WHO WOULD LIKE TO HELP...

[LAUGHTER]

SO EVERY DAY, FROM DAY

ONE, LITERALLY ON OUR

HONEYMOON, WE STARTED

READING THIS.

SO WHEN WE'RE TOGETHER,

AND IF WE'RE SEPARATE FROM

EACH OTHER, THEN I HAVE

ONE AND HE HAS ANOTHER

VERSION.

WE READ THE WORD, AND

WE'LL ASK EACH OTHER, WHAT

DID YOU GET OUT OF THAT?

NOT JUST READ IT TO READ

IT, BUT TO SAY, WHAT HERE

IS SPEAKING TO YOU YOU.

ReporterYOU.

Reporter: SO YOUR

MARRIAGE WOULD NOT BE WHAT

IT IS WITHOUT GOD AS THE

FOUNDATION?

NO WAY.

NO WAY.

I SEE MYSELF TOTALLY AS A

DAUGHTER OF THE KING.

THAT'S HOW I SEE MYSELF.

SO I LET MY MOUTH BE THAT,

THE WAY I CARRY MYSELF BE

THAT.

I'M A DAUGHTER OF THE

KING.

SOMETIMES IT IS HARD TO

LIVE WITH A PRINCESS.

Reporter: I MEAN,

YOUR FATHER-IN-LAW IS GOD,

I MEAN, TAKE THAT ONE ON.

THANK YOU.

GOD IS THERE.

I'VE TOLD GOD -- I TOLD

GOD ON HIM.

I SAID, GOD, HE'S NOT

LISTENING.

YOU HAVE TO SPEAK TO HIM.

AND, GUESS WHAT?

GOD SPOKE TO HIM.

THERE ARE THINGS THAT

WOULD COME THAT WOULD WANT

TO TEAR US APART BECAUSE

OF MY OPINION, HIS

OPINION, OF THE WAY WE

WERE GOING, HOW WE WERE

GOING TO GO, BUT WE

WATCHED EVERY TIME HOW GOD

CAUSED US TO BOW OUR KNEES

TO EACH OTHER AND TO HIM.

AND TO HIM FIRST.

THERE IS A BIBLE VERSE,

DON'T LET THE SUN GO DOWN

ON YOUR ANGER.

WE REALLY ADHERED TO THAT.

BECAUSE THE ISSUES WILL

COME UP, THE FAMILY ISSUES

THAT WILL COME UP.

MONEY -- THE PRESSURE OF

MONEY.

THE CHILDREN.

ALL OF THAT STUFF.

LET'S NOT GO TO SLEEP WITH

THAT KIND OF ANGER.

THERE WERE TWO INSTANCES,

I THINK, THAT I REMEMBER,

WHERE WE WERE TALKING

ABOUT SEPARATING.

IT WAS THAT TENUOUS OF A

SITUATION.

VERY VOLATILE.

AND, UM, WE MADE A

DECISION TO SAY WE DON'T

WANT TO EMBARRASSED GOD.

WE DON'T WANT TO EMBARRASS

JESUS.

WE CAN'T DO THIS.

SO THEN WE WOULD SUBMIT TO

THE LORD, PRAYERFULLY, AND

THEN TO EACH OTHER.

FORGIVE ME.

YOU FORGIVE ME, I FORGIVE

YOU.

AND THEN BACK TO THE WORD

AGAIN AND PRAYING AND SO

FORTH, AND WORKING IT

THROUGH.

Reporter: GETTING

YOUR OWN PRIDE OUT OF THE

WAY?

OH, YES.

YOU TALK ABOUT PEOPLE WHO

SAY, DIE TO SELF.

JESUS SAID, YOU WANT TO

FOLLOW ME, THE FIRST THING

YOU GET TO DO IS DIE.

SIMPLE.

DENY YOURSELF, PICK UP

YOUR CROSS DAILY AND

FOLLOW.

THAT'S THE PREREQUISITE.

I HAD STAGE FOUR CANCER

BACK HERE IN MY MOUTH.

AND I'VE HAD TWO OTHER

BOUTS WITH CANCER, AND SHE

WAS FLORENCE NIGHTINGALE

PLUS.

A GREAT NURSE.

I DON'T REMEMBER A LOT OF

IT BECAUSE I WAS OUT OF

IT.

I DIDN'T EVEN KNOW IF I

WAS GOING TO MAKE IT.

BUT SHE WAS THERE AND SHE

SLEPT IN THE HOSPITAL NEXT

TO ME.

AND ALL THE TIME I WAS

TOTALLY DEPENDENT ON HER.

AND SHE WAS THERE.

AND I TOLD JESUS, GUESS

WHAT?

THIS FLORENCE NIGHTINGALE

IS SO TIRED.

I HAD NEVER BEEN THAT

TIRED IN MY LIFE, THAT I

HONESTLY SAID TO GOD, I

HAVE 10 MINUTES FOR YOU.

THAT'S ALL I HAVE LEFT, IS

10 MINUTES.

AND I WALKED FROM HIS SIDE

OF THE BED, FEEDING HIM

WITH A TUBE IN HIS

STOMACH, TO COMING AROUND

THE BED, AND THE LORD

HEALED ME AND GAVE ME

STRENGTH LIKE I HAD BEEN

ON VACATION.

AND I'M GOING, HOW DID

THIS HAPPEN?

YOU KNOW, WHEN I JUST

SAID, AND I HAVE NEVER

SAID BEFORE, I HAVE 10

MINUTES.

THAT'S ALL I HAVE.

Reporter: PEOPLE HERE

HEAR THE WORD CANCER, AND

THEY'RE TERRIFIED.

AND GOD HAS SPOKEN TO YOU

SOMETHING ABOUT THAT WORD.

THE BIG "C" IS NOT

CANCER, IT'S CHRIST.

THE BIG "C" IS NOT CANCER,

IT IS THE CROSS.

THE BIG "C" IS CAVALRY AND

THE COVENANT.

WHEN THE LORD IS TALKING

TO JEREMIAH, AND HE SAID,

I TOOK YOU INTO THE

DESERT.

AND LOOK AT ALL OF THE

TIMES WHEN HE WAS QUIET

AND HE DIDN'T ANSWER.

THAT'S WHEN TRUST COMES

IN.

AND YOU HAVE TO HOLD TO

THAT.

YOU MUST.

ONE HOLD UP THE OTHER

WHEN THE OTHER IS DOWN.

THAT'S HOW IT WORKS.

WE'VE BEEN FAITHFUL TO

EACH OTHER BECAUSE OF

HAVING GOD.

HE'S BIGGER THAN US.

Gordon: WHAT A

WONDERFUL COUPLE.

UNCLE SCOTT AND NEDRA,

THEY'VE BEEN PART OF MY

LIFE SINCE I WAS 10 YEARS

OLD.

IT IS AMAZING TO SEE HOW

GOD HAS WORKED THROUGH

THEM, USED THEM, AND BEEN

WITH THEM EVEN THROUGH

SOME VERY DIFFICULT TIMES.

STAGE FOUR CANCER, AND

TODAY SCOTT IS ABSOLUTELY

FREE OF ANY CANCER.

AND IT'S WONDERFUL.

> WELL, UP NEXT, MEET A

10-YEAR-OLD WHO WANTS TO

BE JUST LIKE HER CARTOON

HERO.

WATCH HOW "SUPERBOOK'S"

JOY TEACHES THIS GIRL TO

BEFRIEND A CHILD BEING

BULLIED, WHEN WE COME

BACK.

Gordon: EINIA IS A

YOUNG GIRL LIVING IN

ALBANIA WHO HAS A ROLE

MODEL.

SHE WANTS TO BE LOVING AND

KIND, JUST LIKE THE

CHARACTER JOY FROM CBN'S

ANIMATED SERIES,

"SUPERBOOK."

JOY HAS MADE SUCH A HUGE

IMPACT ON HER, THAT HER

MOTHER SAYS IT HAS CHANGED

HER LIFE.

Through Translator:

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 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.

THE STORY IS ESTHER, WHEN

SHE MAKES FRIENDS WITH

CHILDREN THAT OTHERS HAD

REJECTED.

IT HAD A STRONG AFFECT ON

EINIA.

THERE WAS A GIRL, AND I

THOUGHT JOY, YOU CAN BE SO

KIND AND BRAVE, AND SO CAN

I.

Reporter: SO EINIA

BEFRIENDEDED FRIENDED A CHILD AT

SCHOOL WHO WAS BULLIED.

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 THE THOUSANDS OF

CHILDREN WHO'S LIVES HAVE

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,

THE KIDS ALL KNOW THE

SONG.

AND IT IS THE SONG OF

SALVATION.

*

[SINGING IN A 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

THEM.

NOW I TALK TO MY

FRIENDS ABOUT JESUS.

THANK YOU TO EVERYONE WHO

MADE THE WONDERFUL

"SUPERBOOK."
