- Inspirational Music

- [Narrator] ChristopherVercelli of Sarasota, Florida

is in a line of work somepeople have never heard of.

Muscle activation techniqueseeks to strengthen

and restore function to weak muscles.

- Muscle activation techniques process

was such a key element to that because

most people are dealing with things

in their orthopedic system

in their muscular skeletal system.

- [Narrator] Chris'spassion for good health

began when he battled leukemia at age 15.

He recovered fully,and in his mid-twenties

he accepted Christ, and felt called

to bring healing to others.

Starting out Chris realized he

needed guidance on howto grow his business.

- I was seeking the Lord about how I could

achieve the next level of blessing

and expansion that he had for me.

And that's when he really began

to speak to me about giving.

And that if I wanted to have a lot

of resources under my control,

then I needed to keep and open hand

and I needed to be willingto release those things

if and when he told me to release them.

- [Narrator] One Sunday, Chris saw the

opportunity to do just that.

He was in church listening

to missionaries to Africa.

- And the Lord justgripped my heart that day

and he said you need to give

and you need to give extravagantly.

- [Narrator] Chris felt led to give $2000.

Which was most of his savings.

- And so I was really wrestling with him

during that hour in church that day.

But, he gave me this piecethat if I trusted him

he would do something awesome.

And so I gave that check.

- [Narrator] Within a fewdays Chris got a new client

who had seen an articleabout him in a the paper.

- She got up off the table and she said

she felt amazing.

And this is a woman that had Fibromyalgia.

She immediately bought my biggest session

of packages that day, it was $1200.

- [Narrator] That oneappointment lead to many

referrals, which leadto many more clients.

He was even contacted byprofessional athletes.

- So I got 15 maybe 20 clients in a month.

I had the most profitablemonth I'd ever had

and it was just mindblowing what the Lord did.

- [Narrator] It also led Chris to

become a regular tither.

Within five years he saw his income

rise by more than 75%.

Then he and his wife wereintroduced to CBN's Superbook.

The animated bible stories were

perfect for their then five year old son.

- And Christian fell in love with them.

I mean my son absolutely loves Superbook.

And he actually looked the mirror that

they'll bring back to the present day

and apply it to the situation

that they had set up in the beginning.

I think that's really cool way to

present these stories of The Bible.

- [Narrator] So to support Superbook

Chris joined the 700 club.

And as he started watching

he came to love CBN's other ministries.

- Just the presence that they have

what you guys are doing all over the world

I mean, talk about being in awe

of what the Lord has done.

And I love the fact that I can go

on CBNNews.com and I can get an article

that is really encouragingand really edifying

and I can share that with other believers.

And then the testimonies are really great

because they buildpeoples faith in the Lord.

Also, the movie that they made in 2017

about the Six-Day war was phenomenal,

ah man the Lord really spoketo me through that movie.

- [Narrator] Chris is afirm believer in committing

all ones resources to God.

- We all have to cometo the realization that

God is the giver of all money,

all talent, all energy, all breathe

and the Holy Spirit willspeak to each person

who prays that prayer sincerely and will

them this is what I want you do.

And if we obey that, good things happen.
