- [Announcer] The following program

is sponsored by CBN.

(dramatic music)

- Welcome to the 700 Club.

He was plotting that attack for months

with the full intention ofdoing far greater damage.

That's what federalauthorities have discovered

about the Saudi shooter at the naval base

in Pensacola last month.

- Now officials arerevealing the motivation

behind two terror attacks in December.

As Charlene Aaron reports,

both could have been much worse.

- Federal authorities announced Monday

that the Saudi military trainee who killed

three U.S. militarymembers in the Pensacola

naval station shooting in December

had been plotting the attack for months

and intended to do much more damage.

- This was an act of terrorism.

The evidence shows that the shooter

was motivated by Jihadist ideology.

- [Charlene] The killer, Saudi pilot

Mohammed Saeed Alshamrani who was killed

by law enforcement, had been reading

and posting Jihadimessages on social media

just two hours before his deadly rampage.

Investigators say the gunmanintended to kill many more.

He had more than 180 rounds of ammunition

for his hand gun.

The investigation uncovered more concerns,

leading to the deportation

of 21 Saudi students.

Officials discovered atleast 17 of the trainees

had Jihadi literature in their possession.

Others had child porn on their computers.

- I do think it's clear that we have

to improve our vetting procedures.

- [Charlene] Barr is asking Apple for help

getting into the shooter'siPhone to learn more.

This comes as authorities reveal

that a home grown terrorattack in December

also could have been much worse.

Two suspects opened fire on a

Jewish grocery store, killing three.

The U.S. attorney in New Jersey and head

of the local FBI now says a powerful bomb

found inside their van could have killed

or injured people up tofive football fields away.

- We know now that they planned greater

acts of mayhem.

This was, in fact, ahate crime and an episode

of domestic terrorism.

- Police say a detective killed

by the suspects spotted them in a cemetery

right before the attack

and may have altered their plain.

Officials say they had researcheda Jewish community center

in nearby Bayonne as a possible target.

The attack came amidst a rashof anti-Semitic incidents

in the New York area, including an assault

on a Hanukkah gathering that left

five people injured.

According to recent report,

anti-Semitic hate crimesin major cities in the U.S.

are expected to hit an18-year high this year.

Charlene Aaron, CBN News.

- Well, the rise of hatred,

the rise of terrorism,

the Bible talks about a time coming

when that which restrains is taken away.

And we're entering into that time

and this is a time for Christians

around the world topray and we need to pray

for our Jewish brothers and sisters.

This rise of anti-Semitismis absolutely horrible.

We need to pray for thesafety of our cities,

our schools, our synagogues, our churches.

This is a time to pray.

In other news, Europeis moving to hold Iran

accountable for violatingthe nuclear deal.

John Jessup has more on that story

from our CBN News Bureauin Washington, John?

- That's right, Gordon.

European countries areregistering formal concerns

over Iran's decision tostop complying with parts

of the 2015 nuclear deal,

a move that could lead the United Nations

to place sanctions on the Islamic regime.

After the January 3 killing of

General Qasam Soleimani, Iran announced

it will not abide by the deal's limits

on enriching Uranium.

Britain, France andGermany tried to get Iran

to reverse course, but now they say

they have no choice but tomake a formal statement,

which could eventuallylead to U.N. sanctions.

Well, the democratic presidential field

is down to 12, with New Jersey Senator

Cory Booker dropping out Monday.

But only half of those candidates

will take the debatestage in Iowa tonight.

The six candidates include four men

and two women.

It's the last debate before the

February 3 Iowa caucuses.

The latest Monmouth pollshows Joe Biden in the lead

with 24% of potential Iowacaucus goers supporting him.

Senator Bernie Sanders has 18%,

Pete Buttigieg, 17%.

And Senator Elizabeth Warren with 15%.

One topic sure to come up tonight,

Senator Warren confirminga claim from her camp

that Sanders told her two years ago

he doesn't think a womancan win the White House.

Sanders denies the comment.

Well, Louisiana State University

captured the college footballNational Championship

last night with a 42 to 25 win over

defending champs, the Clemson Tigers.

Senior quarterback Joe Burrow threw five

touchdown passes andran for another score,

his total of six touchdowns

and his whopping 453 yards passing

set two records for acollege football title gain.

- Great calls, great coaching staff.

I mean, this was a long time coming.

This, I'm kind of speechlessright now, this was fun.

- Burrow won the Heisman trophy this year

and led the Bayou Bengals to

an undefeated 15-win season.

We'll be back with more ofthe 700 Club after this.

(upbeat music)

- Lynn Keys took onelook at her bank account

and couldn't believe what she saw.

Her husband had gambledaway their life savings.

Lynn was devastated andthen a few months later,

the news got worse.

- [Narrator] Lynn Keyswas making great money

at her dream job.

She and her husbandwere even able to build

a sizeable retirement account.

But when the recession hit,

Lynn's husband was laid off.

That's when Lynn startedlooking at their finances

and noticed they had been bleeding money.

- I ran a spreadsheet of ourlast 18 months of transaction.

It was 14 pages of Facebookjackpot gambling transactions.

$82,000.

- [Narrator] On top of that,

her husband gambled away even more

from their 401K.

- Probably what I can figure out

is about 380,000, gone.

Yeah, my life, my retirement.

I couldn't believe what I was looking at.

I just sat there and stared at it

for like five minutes, like,

this can't be happening.

- [Narrator] The couple divorced.

Lynn lost the home and had to move

into her own apartment.

A few months later, even more bad news.

- So July 14th, I get aphone call from my boss

telling me that I'm laidoff and lost my job.

I'm totally like bawling at that point.

Like rock bottom, bawling,

like what else is gonna happen.

I had nothing to come home to, nothing.

Just no hope.

- [Narrator] Desperate for help,

Lynn began attendingchurch on a regular basis.

- I figured out thatonly the good Lord above

will give you hope.

And I started reading that book

and started really, really trying to have

a personal relationship with God

for the first time and it was just like

all that anger and sadnessjust, it went away.

- [Narrator] After getting saved,

Lynn's whole attitude aboutmoney changed as well.

She learned about tithing and she

decided to give it a try

and gave off her unemployment checks.

One ministry she supported was CBN.

- I started giving andit's like Lord, okay,

so I'm a little tight here,

but I said I'm gonna giveto this CBN ministry.

Okay, then I'll give $20,

'cause they just help somany people around the world.

I had no idea and youjust see these stories

of people that, you know,

and I'm sitting aroundfeeling sorry for myself

'cause I don't have a good paying job

and these people don'thave water to drink.

My support helps people at least have,

you know, the basic necessities of life.

- [Narrator] After giving faithfully,

even while doing low-paying shift work,

Lynn finally got her dream job again.

Now she gets full benefitsand is able to save.

- Happy tears.

Lots of happy tears.

Me and my girlfriend, we would sit around,

hold hands and pray that we'd get this job

at GE Bank and it wasjust a glorious thing.

It was such a happy moment to, you know,

you get that call.

So we went out and celebrated.

We posted on Facebook.

I mean, it was a very happy moment.

If finally afforded meto be able to, you know,

take weekend trips to the ocean

or mountains and, you know,it's just been a blessing.

- [Narrator] Back onstable financial ground,

Lynn says the Lord isrestoring what she had lost.

- And I totally credit that trusting

the Lord and tithing.

You give and he will give you back

more than you will ever imagine.

Just trusting in him thathe's gonna take care of you.

- Just trust in him.

Here's what Paul said in 1 Timothy.

"Teach those who are rich in this world

"not to be proud, notto trust in their money,

"which is so unreliable.

"Their trust should be in God,

"who richly gives us all we need

"for our enjoyment.

"Tell them to use their money to do good.

"They should be rich in good works

"and generous to those in need,

"always being ready to share with others."

When Lynn put that into practice,

always being ready to share,

she said yes to God.

God watched over his wordto perform it for her.

He will do the same for you.

Well, the Lachmanns werestressed out about money.

Like many Americans, they were living

paycheck to paycheck.

Then one day this couple made a decision

that tripled their income.

- [Narrator] During theirfirst year of marriage,

Josh and Liz Lachmann saved enough money

to move from Indianato Redding, California,

where they enrolled inBethel's School of Ministry,

but before long, theywere running out of money.

- We went with a lot of faith

that God would do great things

and it actually turnedout to be very hard.

I was stressed out about finances

like most of the time.

- Josh kept trying to get jobs

while we were in California

and no jobs were coming.

- We really felt like if we didn't get

financial provision, we'd have to go home.

Down to less than $5 andstarting to get behind

on some of the bills.

When there was income, Josh and Liz

were always faithful to tithe,

a discipline they both practiced

since they were young.

- So it was never a question

of should we stop tithing.

No, we need to like, you honor God first

and then he'll takecare of everything else.

- [Narrator] With only a few dollars left

and bills continuing to mount,

they stayed up all nightpraying for a miracle.

The next day in class,God answered their prayer,

when their teacher, Chris Valeton,

made an announcement.

- Anyone that's gonna go homeif money doesn't come in,

stand up, and so Josh andI, of course, we stood up.

And then Chris felt andasked the other students

to give money to the ones that needed it.

And a bunch of students swarmed us

and then from then on we had more miracles

and just a consistent flow.

Miracles just kept coming.

- I mean, it was adirect answer to prayer.

So we got enough money to encourage us

and to keep going.

- He definitely showed up, yeah.

- [Narrator] They finishedthe year of school

and moved back to Indiana where Josh

got a job in construction.

Still they lived paycheck to paycheck.

Frustrated, Josh turnedto the Bible for answers.

- I'd get verses on financial provision,

write them on 3 by 5cards and memorize them,

meditate on them.

I saw it was his wordand his will to provide

and bless his kids and Istarted to have faith for that.

- [Narrator] So with new confidence,

they once again turned to God for help

when they needed an ideafor a second income.

- And we both kneltdown together by the bed

and we asked God for a second income.

I saw a picture in my mind of a honeybee.

And Josh saw a picture of a honey stick.

And we saw it separately and we'd never

talked about beekeeping before.

- What God was speaking to me

was that was honeybeeswould be a second income.

They began keeping bees and selling honey.

They then moved to the Atlanta area

and Josh added bee removal services.

Soon, the business was thriving.

- At the time I had noidea what it would become.

It almost started like a hobby more

than a second income, but it grew it

beyond my wildest expectations.

- So what happened iswe tripled our income

from what we had before.

- [Narrator] Josh believes their success

stems from their commitmentto trust God and tithe.

One ministry they give to is CBN.

- We know in God's word that it says

give it and it shall be given to you,

pressed down, shakentogether and so for us,

when we give to God andwe look for good ground

where we like, that's agood ministry to give to,

we know we're gonna reap a good harvest.

And when we have access to his generosity

and we can ask for anything,

we end up becoming generous and we end up

seeing that we couldnever out give God, ever.

- [Narrator] As they look to the future,

Josh and Liz believe Godwill continue to provide

as they trust him withtheir lives and finances.

- I'm just confident that he'll provide

and I don't have to worry.

It says seek first hiskingdom and everything

will be added unto you

and I found that to be very true.

- Tithing is fundamental and with that

we learn the generous heart of God.

Generosity is part of the gospel.

For God so loved the world that he gave

and when we get thatand we understand that

and we understand the origin of it,

well, then we're morethan willing to tithe.

We want to do it cheerfully,

we want to do it generously.

Tithing goes all the way back to Genesis.

The first time it was Abraham,

tithe to Melchizedek.

Here's the second time it's mentioned.

It's Abraham's grandson Jacob.

It's from Genesis 28.

"Jacob made a vow sayingif God will be with me,

"keep me in this way that I am going,

"give me bread to eat,

"clothing to put on so that

"that I come back to myFather's house in peace.

"Then the Lord shall be my God.

"And this stone which I have set up

"as a pillar shall be God's house and all

"that you give me I will surely give

"a tenth to you."

Now the original Hebrew,it's a double mention

of the word masar, that's the Hebrew word

for tithing and so it's giving a tenth.

I will give a tenth of it to you.

And it's interpreted by the rabbis

by giving repeatedly and some say Jacob

gave a double tithe.

What is clear from what he lived is that

he tithed on everything.

He tithed on his flocks.

He even tithed on his children.

Levi became a priest.

The whole tribe of priests,

because Jacob fulfilled his vow.

He said I'm going to tithe,

I'm going to tithe repeatedly,

I'm going to tithe on everything.

And the Lachmanns did the same thing.

They asked God for a second income.

They were tithing on that.

Then they got a third income and they

were tithing on that.

They love to tithe becausethey get the principle.

God is generous.

He wants us to be like him.

He wants us to be generous as well.

Now I've got some great news.

We've got a challenge fromexisting CBN partners.

- Barbara Kaisman turned $2 T-shirts

into her own fashion line.

There's a simple reason for her success.

It wasn't an eye for design.

It was a heart to give.

- [Narrator] Barbara Kaismanalways dreamed of having

her own clothing line.

- I put my hand to designing in my 30s,

but I could tell it was over my head

and I just could not do it at that age

with a two-year-old.

- [Narrator] She andher husband already ran

a photography business together

and that had financialchallenges of its own.

- When you're self-employed,you don't know

when your next paycheck's coming in.

- [Narrator] There were times the couple

couldn't even pay the rent on their

Chicago loft apartment.

Then the two became Christians

and learned the importanceof giving 10% to God.

- My first thoughts about tithing

was I don't think I can afford it.

- [Narrator] They decidedto give at church anyway.

- It's because we did need help,

we needed supernatural help.

As soon as we started giving,

the Lord blessed.

- [Narrator] Their businessimmediately increased

and so did their giving.

When they needed more money,

they even gave in advance.

- Listen, God, I onlyhave 1,200 in my account.

I need 1,500.

Here's $150 'cause I justknow you're gonna bring it in

and he would.

The Holy Spirit saysBarb, I want you to go

get your tax returns outfor the last five years.

I want to show you what I've done.

He had doubled my income every year

for five years.

I did what he told me todo and when I realized

that I couldn't out give God,

it released me to give asmuch as I wanted to give

and sometimes as much as I could give.

- [Narrator] Meanwhile Barbara's husband

started some other business ventures.

The marriage ultimately fell apart

and the couple divorced.

- Overnight, I was anempty nester, empty house.

I had all the bills topay with one income.

Then God says remember that dream you had

about being a designer.

The time is right.

And I thought God, do youknow how expensive this is?

- [Narrator] Barbara beganrefashioning $2 T-Shirts

and soon her clothing line,Feel Good Fashions was born.

She did well until her appendix burst

and she got pneumonia.

Without health insuranceshe racked up close

to $100,000 in debt, but all the while,

she kept giving.

- Tithing is my lifeline.

I don't dare cut it off.

And you know what happened?

God didn't fail me.

- [Narrator] The hospital wrote off most

of Barbara's medical billsand her sales picked up.

- What I sold, I paid offtwo years of credit card

and I was able to buy some furniture.

- [Narrator] Today her business is doing

better than ever.

- Every year it's increased,increased, increased

and it's like mind boggling.

I do the one of a kindshow and in four days

it's like $32,000 I sell clothes.

- [Narrator] Now Barbara donates a portion

of her sales.

One place she supports is CBN.

- I love their water program.

And then I love theirdisaster relief programs

because I think what happens if a tornado

or something like that wiped me out?

I would want somebody to be there.

- [Narrator] Recently Barbara was selected

to be a part of the Fashion Incubator

at Macy's in downtown Chicago.

She encourages others who need God's help

to trust him and give.

- You can have marriages failing you,

you can have your health fail you,

you could lose your job

and if your source isn'tthe Lord, you're in trouble.

Do you believe God'sword enough to try it.

It only takes a little bit of faith,

but you gotta try it

and then give him something to prove.

Test him in this, so he canshow you want he can do.

- It's the only time we get to test God

is with our ties and offerings,

but realize God watches over his word.

He has some wonderful promises for you.

Here from Psalm 91 aresome of the I wills of God.

These are his promises.

"He will call on me,and I will answer him.

"I will be with him in trouble.

"I will deliver him and honor him."

That's what happened to Barbara because

she says I'm all in with God.

Well, Becky watchesthe 700 Club every day.

She's seen stories of people being helped

all around the world.

And after her house wasflooded by a major storm,

Becky got a first-hand lookat this ministry in action.

- I was afraid and I wanted to get out.

I didn't know how highthe water was gonna get.

- [Narrator] Becky and her husband Gary

were jolted away by thesound of their neighbors

banging on the door.

Beaumont, Texas was being flooded by rain

from tropical storm Imelda.

As they left the house, memories

of Hurricane Harvey haunted Becky.

- And I kept thinking,we gotta get out of here.

Because it's gonna be the same way.

And we didn't want to have to be rescued

in a boat and we didn't want to have to go

to a shelter.

I had a stroke afterHarvey, all the stress.

- [Narrator] Thankfully, theydrove to safety themselves

and rode out the storm in an RV.

Days later, when Beckyreturned to the house,

she was heartbroken to discover her walls

had been soaked again.

- You have to tear themout and replace them.

I'm old and my health is not as good

and I would be ready to walk away

and never come back.

- [Narrator] Becky's cousinknew Operation Blessing

was in Beaumont during Harvey.

She told Becky we came back again

to help families recover after Imelda.

- And before the day was over,

you were here.

And today you're here.

God is taking care of me.

He is taking care of me.

He is taking care of me.

- [Narrator] Our crew of volunteers

cut out the water soaked drywall

and removed the wet insulation before

mold had a chance to set in.

Then we hauled all thatdebris out to the road.

We found out Becky has beena 700 Club partner for years.

She was overjoyed whenCBN's Operation Blessing

came to her rescue.

- I watch it every day on TV and I know

they do great thingsfor people everywhere.

People that aren't as blessed as we are,

'cause they don't have water

and they don't have thingsthat we take for granted.

Thank you for everybody that gives

and now I know they came and helped me.

- Mr. Lee walked formiles looking for water.

The only source he couldfind was filthy pond.

He tried to boil the water to purify it,

and when that didn't work, he asked

a witch doctor to help.

- [Terry] Mr. Lee's wish was simple.

He wanted fresh water for his family,

but all he had access to was dirty water

from a pond miles away.

- And there was alwaysa layer of white ash

when we boiled it and it caused things

like kidney failure.

- [Terry] After the Lee's oldest daughter

died from drinking the water,

the couple knew theyhad to build a cistern

to collect fresh water sotheir younger daughter,

Lee Wa, wouldn't die, too.

But that meant Mrs. Lee had to leave home

and work in the city to helpraise money for the cistern.

Meanwhile, Mr. Lee stayedhome to work on the farm

and tried to protect LeeWong from getting sick

from the bad water.

- I went to a witch in the village

and I prayed with theMongolian gods for help

to keep Lee Wa healthy,but she still got sick.

- We didn't have muchmoney to go to the doctor,

so a lot of times I didn't tell my dad

my stomach hurt.

I just tied a rope around my stomach

to put pressure on it andmake the pain go away.

It felt like someone wascutting my body with a knife

and everything got fuzzy.

I miss my mom so much.

I said, "Dad, take me to the hospital.

"I think I'm going to die."

- [Terry] Lee Wa's intestines were blocked

like her sister's had been.

She got better, but refused to drink

the bad water after that.

When a local pastor heard about the Lees,

he contacted CBN.

We built the Less a cistern

and gave them a water filter.

Now Mrs. Lee doesn'thave to stay in the city

to help raise money for a cistern.

She's back home with her family.

- I still remember the first time

I drank the new water.

I said, "Dad, is there sugar in here?"

- Now we have clean water to drink

and our souls are clean,too, because of Jesus.

He touched the hearts of the CBN donors

to help strangers like us.

So now I believe in him.

- Dr. David McDonald runs his own

medical practice in Virginia.

He's also helped treat patients in China,

India and other places around the world.

And that's because David is a CBN partner.

- [Narrator] As a doctor,David McDonald's passion

is helping people, whichis why he and his wife

Joanna are CBN partners.

- We'd see these storiesabout another well

being put in or another family having

a surgical procedure and so I thought,

wait, this is practical giving.

We joined at the lowest level

and then as we watched more,

we felt compelled to keepincreasing our giving.

Even through some very tough times

and God was faithful.

- [Narrator] One particularlytough time came in 2003

when David had an illness

and was unable to work.

- My health went southreally quick and bad.

So I couldn't make a living.

We're having a hard time paying rent.

Through that season,especially because of my wife,

we continued to give,

even though it wasn't easy at all.

- [Narrator] The couple kept giving.

Even with six young children to care for.

By 2006, David had finally recovered.

He then got a job as a medical director

of a correctional facility and was later

able to open his own practice.

- We just kept on being faithful

and then as I would seestories about people

who were increasing their giving

as they started comingout of the wilderness,

I thought, well, we can do that, too.

I mean we could double what we're giving

and then I thought, oh,we would double again,

you know, as time went on.

- [Narrator] Now members of the 1000 Club,

the McDonalds encourage others to give.

- I've tried to out give God a few times.

You can't do it, you can't.

- You can't out give him,

even during the tough times.

When you honor your vow to tithe.

God will stand by his word to perform it.

- Well, whenever she went to find food,

Nora had to dodge a hailstorm of bullets

and rocket fire.

Like millions of others, she was caught

in the crossfires of the Syrian civil war.

Her family later escaped toa refugee camp in Lebanon.

Now Nora has no troublegetting her next meal

thanks to Orphans' Promise.

- [Narrator] Nora's village was caught

in the middle of the Syrian civil war.

Food ran out everywhere and her family

was forced to wander the dangerous streets

searching for anything to eat.

- Our house was hit byrockets and gunfire,

so we couldn't go back.

No place was safe.

And we went days without food.

When we did find food, my mom gave it all

to me and my brother and sister

while she went without.

- We were separated from my husband

and to this day, I don'tknow what happened to him.

There was no food and missiles flew

over our head constantly.

We would have died if we stayed there.

My only choice was to takemy children into Lebanon.

- [Narrator] Nora's familysoon met Heart for Lebanon,

a partner of CBN's Orphans' Promise.

We started giving themlarge packages of food

and hygiene products inour monthly distributions.

It lasts through the whole month

and we really enjoy it.

In Lebanon, we're not allowed to work.

So these packages are all we have.

- [Narrator] Nora and her siblings

attend our Hope Center,

a Christian school thatteaches Syrian refugee children

math, Arabic, English and science.

They also learn aboutJesus through Superbook.

- I love the Superbook episodes

and seeing the miracles of Jesus,

like him feeding the big crowd

with five pieces of bread and two fish.

Or when he saved Peter from drowning.

I pray to Jesus all the time and I've

asked him into my life.

- I'm so grateful for this school

and what my kids are being taught.

I can see the positiveinfluence it has on them

and I'm very supportive Nora learning

more about Christianity.

These are good people.

a good education andthat she can feed them.

that this is a miracle from Jesus.

I am super thankful to you for giving

us this food and for allowing me to go

to this amazing school.

I will study hard to make you proud.

In Barundi, a mother gavebirth to premature twins

and there were no nearby hospitals

equipped to take care of them.

- [Narrator] When Vialettewas only six months pregnant,

she gave birth to premature twins.

- They weighed only 2 pounds.

The other hospitals had no facilities

to care for them, so I wasrushed here by ambulance.

On the two-hour ride here, I feared

my babies would die.

I prayed to God for a miracle.

- [Narrator] Operation Blessing provided

this hospital with solar panels

to power the hospital 24 hours a day.

That guarantees warmthand live=giving oxygen.

- Vialette and her babies have been here

about two months andthey are still so tiny.

They'll probably behere another two months,

then the babies will be strong enough

to go home.

- I still don't know if they will survive,

but if I stayed at the first hospital,

they both would have died because they

had no incubators.

- [Narrator] Sadly, afterthey went home healthy,

one of Vialette's babiesgot sick and passed away

before they could getback to the hospital.

While Vialette washeartbroken about her loss,

she was still grateful to God

for the life of her daughter.

Vialette came back to the hospital

to show us how healthy and strong

her baby has grown.

- I named her Antia, whichmeans God has gifted us.

She's truly a gift from God.

Although one of my babies went to heaven,

I have one here on earth.

It is a miracle just to hold her.

Antia has grown so strong.

Without this hospital and the doctors

who helped us, shewouldn't be alive today.

Thank you for taking such good care of us.
