- Welcome to the 700 club.

A smoldering volcano in the Philippines

could erupt again, killing those

in the danger zone.

- Already tens of thousands of people

have evacuated, most with only

the clothes on their backs.

Now what will they do.

Here's George Thomas with the story.

- [George] In Batangas Province,

some 40 miles south of Manila,

roads beginning to crackas local authorities

warn Taal volcano could see

a bigger eruption at any moment.

Five days after the volcano,spewing lava and ash,

anxious residents are lining up,

desperate to get back to their homes

despite the risk.

- We want to feed our animals,

even for just one hour if theauthorities will allow us.

This is our only source of income for us,

and yet they are notallowing us to go back.

- [George] More than 120,000 people

fled the province, many escaping with just

the clothes on their back.

- We only eat if there are donations.

If there are no donatedrelief goods, we don't eat.

We can't buy anythingbecause we have no money.

We were caught by surprise.

- [George] This is done footage of Laurel,

a small blanketed in gray following

the Sunday eruption.

Homes, farms and trees covered in ash.

Late Thursday CBN News reporter,

Lucille Talusan gainedaccess near the volcano.

- This is the town of Talisay,

and it is within the danger zone

and so as you can see thisis like a ghost town now

because most of the residents here

have been forcibly evacuated.

- [George] Many of Talisay's residents

and others now seeking shelter

in the more than 350 evacuation centers.

CBN Operation Blessing teams working here

around the clock sincethe volcano erupted,

providing much needed relief supplies

like water, mats, hygiene items,

food packets and masks.

To date, Operation Blessing has helped

more than 1,000 families.

Seismologists say that while the volcano

shows signs of calming down,

the danger remains realand are urging authorities

to keep resident a safe distance away.

More than 100 tremors have been registered

around the volcano since Wednesday.

George Thomas, CBN News.

- If you're a member ofthe 700 club, thank you.

You're part of that relief effort.

We're going to be doing even more

in the coming days to make sure

those refugees, those evacuees

are properly taken care of and have

the food and water that they need.

In other news, for justthe third time in history,

the Senate has been sworn in

for a presidential impeachment trial.

And starting next week, House Democrats

make their case for removingPresident Trump from office.

As Mark Martin reports, a few key senators

could determine how it all goes.

- It's a scene that is only played out

in America twice before.

Senators sitting solemnly in their seats

to begin the impeachmenttrial of a president.

- Hear ye, hear ye, hear ye.

All persons are commanded to keep silent

on pain of imprisonment.

- [Mark] Chief Justice John Roberts

will oversee the trial.

- So help you God.

- I do.

- God bless you.

- [Mark] Each senator also taking an oath

to do impartial justice.

- [Judge] So help you God.

- [Mark] Opening argumentsbegin Tuesday at 1:00

and the big question, what's the strategy

of democratic impeachment managers

led by Congressman Adam Schiff.

- Impeaching Donald John Trump,

President of the United States

for high crimes and misdemeanors.

- [Mark] Democrats say there'snew evidence to examine,

including newly released information

from former Rudy Giulianiassociate, Lev Parnus,

who says there's no question the President

wanted to convince Ukraine to investigate

his potential Democraticpresidential political opponent.

- President Trump knewexactly what was going on.

He was aware of all of my movements.

I wouldn't do anything without the consent

of Rudy Guiliani or the President.

- [Mark] From the OvalOffice, President Trump

again called the process partisan

and denied Parnus' claims.

- Don't know where he comes from,

know nothing about him.

I can only tell you thisthing is a big hoax.

- [Mark] A top priority ofthe House impeachment managers

will be to convincemoderate Republican senators

to allow witnesses.

Two Democratic Senatorswill also be key players.

Senators Joe Mansion of West Virginia

and Doug Jones of Alabama represent states

where Trump is popular and may vote

in his favor at the end.

Despite all the Washington intrigue

about the trial, thePresident is widely expected

to be acquitted.

That's because it takes a super majority,

67 senators to convict,

which would require Democrats to convince

20 Republicans to voteagainst the President.

Mark Martin, CBN News.

- Well, it all starts on Tuesday 1 p.m.

and I'll be high drama on Capitol Hill.

We'll be right back with moreof the 700 Club after this.

(dramatic music)

When Jessie DeMalo got her first paycheck

as a police officer, she celebrated.

She bought a brand new car.

Before long, Jessie was way overextended

and depending on payday loans to get by.

Then one day she came home to face

the ultimate humiliation,

an eviction notice on her front door.

- [Narrator] JessieDeMalo was so stressed out

she couldn't sleep.

But it wasn't her job as a police officer

that kept her up, it washer worries about money.

- At that time I had loansat three different companies,

my car payment was behind

and now on the rent, so it was a lot.

It was just, it was bad.

- [Narrator] It wasn'tthat she didn't make

enough to live on, because she did.

She just had never beentaught good money management.

- I came from working in retail.

I used to work at Saks Fifth Avenue,

where I was making $9.50and little waitressing jobs

and stuff like that.

So when I got that first check,

I was like oh, my God, Igotta go buy a new car.

So I went and bought a brand new car

and so now I have a high new car payment.

Letting people borrow money,

eating out all the time,shopping frivolously

and you know, if I would run out of money,

I would just go and get a loan, you know,

get a payday loan or something like that.

- [Narrator] Jessie isalso a single mother

trying to raise her son by herself,

but no matter how many hours she worked,

her financial situation never improved.

- It's like no matter how much came in,

nothing was sticking.

It was like I had holes in my pockets.

And then I came home one day and there

was an eviction notice on my door.

Seeing that on an officer's door.

The first thing that came to mind

was like embarrassment,disappointment in myself.

It was kind of like thatslap in the face moment,

like wake up, do something different.

- [Narrator] To keep from being evicted,

Jessie asked if she could move in

with your aunt, who was a small Christian.

- And there she would go,

Jessie, you don't pay your tithes.

You need to pay your tithes in church.

That's why you're not seeing nothing.

And just going on into a lecture.

I'm like man, I don't want to hear that.

How can I give away moneywhen I'm telling you

I can't save money.

Like what are they gonna do with it?

I'm not giving it to that church.

You know, they're justgonna spend my money.

Here I am barely above water

and now you want me to give away 10%.

I don't think so.

- [Narrator] Reluctantly Jessie went

to church with her and tithed.

Soon after, she saw results.

- An email pops up and I read the email

and it's this apartment complex looking

for a courtesy officer and basically

what a courtesy officer is is

they have you stay on the property

for either discounted rent or free rent

and you do X, Y and Z,

whatever they ask you do do.

So I called and I was like,

"Okay, how much is the rent?"

And she was like, "It's free."

She was like, "You can move in this week."

So I was literally at my aunt's house

for like two weeks, paying tithes,

doing everything normal, whatever,

and this great opportunity of a

free apartment comes available.

And that's when I started to say,

you know what, maybe she's onto something.

- [Narrator] Because of that blessing,

Jessie began attending church and giving

on a regular basis.

- I went and bought a Bible

and it was like the wordswere just jumping out at me.

You know, I was readingabout tithing in Malachi

and stuff like that andgiving your offerings

and I was like, this stuff really works.

- [Narrator] Eventually,Jessie got a raise at work.

One day she decided to fullycommit her life to God.

I called my aunt and I was like

"I want to get saved, I wantto do it all over again.

Do I have to wait untilSunday to go to church?"

She was like, "No, wecan do it right now."

And I literally felt like a new person.

I felt like this big weighthad been lifted off me.

I felt like a new person.

I felt like I could fly or whatever.

- [Narrator] Jessie's lifechanged so dramatically

that she even began togive more than a tithe.

She also became a CBN partner.

I just loved what the network stands for.

I love the stories thatthey provide every day

and I love Pat.

Pat's Q&A questions and stuff.

They're not just talking,

they're actually walking the walk.

You know, they're going out,

providing people with clean water

and they're going out when people

get hit by natural disasters

and I love that they're actually feet

on the ground doing that thing.

You know, they're notjust behind the screen,

taking your money, they'reputting that money to use

and you can see that.

- [Narrator] Jessie'sfinances are back on track

and she now lives in peace,

knowing that God is her source.

- I paid off all my debt,

only debt I have now are my student loans

and my car payment and that's it.

I'm telling you, tithing islike the secret ingredient.

It's the secret key thatI just wish more people

knew and took seriously.

- Tithing is the secret key.

Here it is from Proverbs 11.

"One scatters, yet increases more

"and one withholds more than is right,

"but it leads to poverty.

"The generous soul will be made rich

"and he who waters willalso be watered himself."

When you understand it'sgenerosity that's the key,

when you're generous,then wonderful things

will happen to you.

Well, Keith and Kerry Kemp were living

in a rundown trailer.

It was a drastic fallfrom their former life

as the owners of a boomingconstruction business.

But then things went from bad to worse,

and even the Kemp'strailer was repossessed.

- [Narrator] Keith and Terry Kemp loved

spending time together on their farm.

In 1996, the Kemps ran the largest

construction company in Okaloosa County.

- When you've donesomething and the people

really love it, and youknow that satisfaction

you get from thrillingthem and giving them what

they were asking for, that'salways the best thing.

- [Narrator] In 2000, theybegan building spec homes

for a real estate company,

that pushed them to build more homes

than they budgeted.

Keith believed he could deliver.

- We were booming somuch that he just planned

that we would sell that many homes,

so he just borrowed the money, you know,

and built all those homes,

but they just didn't sell.

- The market just dropped.

We didn't have enough money in the bank

to pull us on throughuntil they were sold.

- [Narrator] The unsold homeswere eventually repossessed

and caused the Kemps toshut down their business.

Keith began subcontractingwith other companies,

but the money he earned wasn't enough

to cover all their expenses.

They soon lost their home, vehicles

and were forced to move into a trailer

on an empty lot owned by a friend,

but that, too, was repossessed.

- When they were gonnarepossess the trailer,

Keith started throwing this house together

with a few of our friends and it wasn't

even finished when we had to move into it

when they took the trailer.

We didn't even havestairs at the front door.

We had plywood floors down.

Our drywall wasn't done on the walls.

I mean, it was very, very unfinished

and we had to live in that and

finish it as we went.

- Oh, I felt terrible because,

you know, I've always been able

to supply for my family.

When I'm struggling to try to figure out

where we're gonna make the money and how

I'm gonna take care of my wife and kids,

that hurts you.

- [Narrator] Terry was a 700 Club viewer

and soon Keith began to watch it as well.

There, he learned about tithing.

- Watching the 700 Club and Keith

seeing the money miracles that happened

once the people started tithing.

Some of them didn't even have money

to buy food with, butthey gave their last $5

and then stuff juststarted happening to them.

So I said, "Keith, Godsaid, God cannot lie,

"God said give me 10% and he would give

"you that 10-fold over."

I'm like, "He can't lie."

I said, "Just test him,test him, Keith, test him."

- I thought she was crazy.

She had always been wanting to tithe.

And me, they ain't getting my money.

So I wouldn't do this.

But as things got bad and the more

I started watching the 700 Club,

then, you know, I finally agreed.

- [Narrator] Keith and Terry began tithing

to their church.

They also started giving to CBN.

Before long, they saw God begin to move

in their finances when Terry noticed

a deposit in her bank account

that she didn't make.

- I went to the bank and I told them

this money's in there and it's not mine.

And they're like, "Yes, ma'am, it is."

And I was like, "No, it's not.

"Only one check gets deposited in here."

They're like, "Yes,ma'am, it is your money."

I said, "Well, then, I'lltake every bit of it."

- [Narrator] The Kempscontinued to tithe faithfully.

Then, Keith started receivingmultiple construction jobs.

As their income increased,

so did their giving to CBN.

- I was convinced, you know,

if it's gonna be there when you need it,

you might as well help outas many people as you can.

- [Narrator] Today theKemps are back in business.

Keith's income has doubled

and they're now debt free.

They've also finished building their house

and they know without a doubt

that God blesses those thatare faithful in their giving.

- Just try it.

- I think anybody that tries it,

could do it for a yearand if the ain't noticed

that things are going better for them,

I'll be totally shocked.

- I encourage everyone to tithe.

I'm telling you, if you would tithe,

you will see a miracle.

- Take Keith's challengethis year in 2020.

See if tithing for the yearwill make a difference for you.

He is saying, I guaranteeit, he's a convert to it

and that story he was very honest about,

I didn't want to tithe, I didn't want

to give my money away.

And then he starts to do it and he starts

to do it at a time whenthings are really bad.

I mean when you get to the point where

your trailer's repossessed,things are bad.

And he said I've tried it my way,

let's try it God's wayand see what will happen.

People get confused about tithing

and here's where it all comes from.

It's from Deuteronomy chapter 14

and these are the words of God Almighty.

"You shall truly tithe all the increase

"of your grain that thefield produces year by year."

So it's a tithe 10% on the increase.

So whatever your increase is,

that's what you're supposed to tithe.

But in the original Hebrew, the English is

"You shall truly tithe."

The original Hebrew is tithe,it's a repeat of the word,

"Tithe, you shall tithe."

God's underlining this that this is a

fundamental principal thatif you're following him,

this is what you need to do.

Abraham tithed, Jacobtithed, Moses tithed.

We need to realizes tithe is fundamental

and Keith finally gotthat and when he did,

the blessings of the Lord come.

God doesn't want to be stingy with you.

He wants to bless you,

but he's looking for conditions

and one of the conditions are you going

to obey his word?

When you do it, wonderfulthings will happen.

- 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 hope,

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 I started really,

really trying to have apersonal 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 give to this CBN ministry.

Okay, and I'll give $20,

'cause they just help so many people

around the world.

I had no idea and youjust see these stories of

people that, you know,and I'm sitting around

feeling sorry for myself'cause I don't have

a good paying job and these people

don't have water to drink.

My support helps peopleat 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 benefits

and is able to save.

- Happy tears.

Lots of happy tears.

Me and my girlfriend, we would sit around

and hold hands and praythat we'd get this job

at GE Bank and it wasjust a glorious thing.

It was just such a happymoment 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.

It finally afforded me to 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 to 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.

- You can trust him, becausehe will take care of you.

Here's Lynn, she's devastated.

Where do you go?

Your husband gambles away your future

and then you lose your job?

What do you do?

Well, Lynn learned to lean into God,

that's exactly thepoint in time that we do

and I encourage peoplewhether you're facing

what Lynn faced or you're facing success

on a daily basis, lean into God,

realize he is the source.

Here's what Paul said, 1 Timothy 6,

"Teach those who are rich in this world

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

"which is so unreliable.

"Their trust should be in God

"who richly gives us allwe need for our enjoyment.

"Tell them to use their money to do good

"and they should be rich in good works

"and generous to those in need,

"always being ready to share with others."

Lynn decided she wasalways going to be ready

to share with others.

You see the result that happened to her.

It will happen to you because

God stands over his word to perform it.

Let's go over to Terry.

- Well, when you do join the 700 Club,

you help people right here in America,

like Herman and Marie Peterson.

After Hurricane Michaeldestroyed their home,

all they had to keep warm

was a propane fish fryer.

The couple lived in a gutted house

with hardly any walls for almost a year

until they receivedhelp from CBN partners.

- It's terrible.

The hurricane was blowing rain and water

almost 200 miles an hour.

The soffits on the sidewas blown out, too.

The water was going down through the walls

into the floor.

- [Narrator] WhenHurricane Michael flooded

their home in Mexico Beach, Florida,

Herman and Marie Petersonhad to completely gut it.

Even with all that work to do,

Herman's main priorityis caring for Marie,

who has Parkinson's.

- I try to be strong for her.

It just makes Parkinson's worse

when she's got stress.

- With no insulation inNovember and December

and it was 40 degrees out,

we couldn't stay in here,

so he put a bed up in the pole barn.

He lit the propane fish fryer

to keep me warm.

- [Narrator] For almost a year, the couple

lived in their house with hardly any walls

as they tried to restoretheir home on their home.

- How do you just about rebuild a house

from scratch except for the slabs

and the 2 by 4s.

Last month he was tryingto do some things.

It was so hot in here thathe had heat exhaustion.

He sat over there right in a chair just

getting sick to his stomach.

We've done everythingthat we possibly can.

- [Narrator] When Operation Blessing

heard about the Peterson'swe knew we needed to help.

A team of volunteers rebuilt their walls,

floors and ceilings.

- It was like a burden lifted.

Your Christ taught in the New Testament,

you know, come to me andI will lift your burden.

I know through him all is possible

and I know that y'all are sent by him.

Thank you, thank you, thank you.

Can't say thank you enough.

I know for myself, youcan't out give the Lord

like a premature baby bornin China named Shu Ling.

She developed sepsis and her parents

had no money for the emergency surgery

she needed to survive.

- [Terry] By the time ShuLing was three months old,

she was fighting for her life.

- She was very weak.

The doctor said herorgans didn't work well

and her immunity was low.

- Her stomach was four timesbigger than it should be.

- [Terry] It turned out that she had

intestinal obstruction and peritonitis.

- Her bowel was full of pus that infected

her lungs and liver andif they didn't remove it,

Shu Ling would die.

- I was so scared.

I took her little handand said, "Shu Ling,

"you must be strong.

"Please don't leave me."

- [Pat] The coupleborrowed money for surgery,

but three days later,Shu Ling developed sepsis

and was worse than ever.

- It felt like someonewas stabbing my heart.

I look at her face and I wish

she would open her eyes and smile at me

just one more time.

- If we brought her home,she wouldn't survive.

I felt like a failure as a father.

My mother said, "You mustpray and give her up to God.

"Only he can help her."

- [Pat] The Shungs neverthought they really

needed Jesus until now.

They prayed all night,asking God for a miracle.

The next day, a doctor told them

that CBN would pay for emergency surgery.

- God sent CBN in response to our prayers.

Her intestines are free of contamination

- Well, sunrises and sandy beaches.

For years, Greg and Sharon Clark enjoyed

running an oceanfront motel

until the upkeep beganto drown the in debt.

So how did they get backto their happy place?

Take a look.

- [Narrator] Greg and Sharon Clark

live in Ormond Beach, Florida,

where for years, they owned and operated

the nostalgic Argosy Motel.

- We had plenty of natural sand dunes

and you see the sunrise every morning.

We had so many people say to us,

I would just love to owna motel and run a place

like this on the beach, it's great.

But they didn't see howmuch effort went into it.

- [Narrator] Running the motel came

with a heavy price.

The older units were in constant need

of repairs and upgrades.

- It would cost anywherebetween 17 and $25,000

for a new roof and I couldn't pay that.

- [Narrator] The couple drove an old car

and cut back on everything they could.

Even still, they refused to stop giving.

- We felt that if we were faithful

in what God told us to do

that he would always befaithful to take care of us.

- [Narrator] But then, more bad news.

The motel ran into drainage problems

and fixing it would setthe Clarks back $250,000.

- It was very stressful.

I was concerned for Greg's health.

- [Narrator] The coupleprayed about selling the motel

and had it on and off the market

for several years with no offers

while the bills kept coming.

- We had a combination of higher taxes,

failed drain fields and leaky roofs.

You name it, we had it.

- At that juncture, we realized that

we were at the end of the road.

- [Narrator] Even with no sign of a buyer,

they kept giving.

- Money has a tight hold on people

and when we are willing to give

a small amount back to God,

it proves that we trust him.

- [Narrator] The Clarkscontinued believing

that God would provide.

- And then the day cameand I received a phone call

at 3:00 in the afternoon, my realtor,

him saying to me, "Greg, congratulations,

"you just sold the Argosyto the Volusia County."

Next words out of my mouth were to him,

"Thank you Jesus."

- [Narrator] The county bought the Argosy

so they could turn the propertyinto beachfront parking.

- It's a miracle that God brought us

through every situation.

We were finally able to notworry about money every day.

- [Narrator] The Clarks saytrusting God in their giving

helped saved them from what could

have been financial ruin.

They support a number ofministries and causes.

One of which is CBN.

- I do tell people if they're gonna give

to any disaster relief organization,

you can trust CBN without question.

- [Narrator] Greg andSharon used the money

from the sale of the Argosy Motel

to buy a new home and invest

in other rental properties.

They've been able to retire

and enjoy the peace of mind

that goes along with it.

- I feel like when we're obedient to God,

he is faithful to us.

And he has asked us to give 10%.

Give God a chance.

He's so faithful, ifyou would just try it.

- Give God a chance.

When you try it, he proves it.

It's the only time we get to test God

is in our tithes and offerings.

I've got some wonderful news.

Some partners from Pennsylvania are adding

$53,000 to the challenge.

Well, we want you to meet Lac,

who's a single mom whomade a special promise

to her son and daughter and she vowed she

would never break it.

Lac was determined to keep that promise,

even when she and herchildren were starving.

The day Lac's husband abandoned

their family, Lac madea promise to herself

and her children.

- I promised that Iwould take care of them.

That I would love themand never leave them.

- [Terry] But Lac's promisewould soon be tested.

With her limited incomefrom part-time jobs,

she could barely providefood for them to eat.

- Sometimes, Mom mixedrice with sugar for me

and my brother.

I wished there was more for us,

but my mom had no money.

- [Terry] Lac's son Noom told us they also

borrowed food from neighbors

when the money ran out.

- Mom wouldn't eat with us,

so I said, "Mom, I won't eat everything,

"so you can have some, too."

- [Terry] Then, one day, asLac borrowed money for food,

a neighbor urged her to send her children

to live at an orphanage.

- I was speechless.

That really hurt me.

I remembered my promise to my children

that I would never leave them.

Some nights I couldn't sleep.

I cried all night.

I didn't know what to do.

- [Terry] When CBN's Orphans' Promise

learned that Lac knew how to sew,

we gave her a sewing machine and

everything needed to starta home-based business.

- I've always wanted a sewing machine,

but could never afford one.

I'm so excited.

- [Terry] A nearby factorysoon contracted with Lac

to make medical face masks.

She also does tailoringand clothing repairs

for her neighbors.

Thanks to that new business,

her income has tripled.

- Now, my mom can buy chicken and fish

for me and my brother.

- I love my mom's cooking.

I always say, "Thank you mom."

- Thank you for giving me and my children

a new life.

I have strength and hope for the future.

family together and others.
