(dramatic music)
- Welcome to "The 700 Club."
A brazen and unlawful attemptto overturn the 2016 election.
Well, that's how PresidentTrump's defense team
describes the Articles ofImpeachment against him.
- Meanwhile, some senatorssay if the Democrats
have their way on witnesses,
the trial could drag on for months.
Dale Hurd has the lateston the impeachment trial.
- We now have the president'sfirst formal response
to the House's impeachment effort.
In a six-page letter hislegal team has branded it
a poisonous partisanshipand a lawless process.
President Trump blasted the Democrats,
telling a Texas audience hisAdministration has achieved
what no other Administrationhas achieved before.
- And what do I get out of it?
Tell me, I get impeached,that's what I get out of it.
(audience laughing)
By these radical leftlunatics, I get impeached.
- [Dale] A member of thepresident's legal team,
constitutional scholar Alan Dershowitz,
believes the Democrats'case against the president
is basically dead on arrival in the Senate
because the House charged the president
on a non-impeachable offense.
- You have lot of evidence,disputed evidence,
it could go both ways, butthe vote was to impeach
on abuse of power, which is not
within the constitutionalcriteria for impeachment.
- Abuse of power is at the center of
what the framers intended animpeachable offense to be.
- Half of Americanpresidents have been accused
by the political enemiesof abusing their power.
The framers didn't wannahave that kind of criteria
in the Constitution becauseit weaponizes impeachment
for partisan purposes.
- [Dale] While the ideaof instantly dismissing
the impeachment articles is off the table,
Dershowitz says there maybe no need for witnesses
if his opening argument succeeds.
Some Senators say openingthe door to more witnesses
could stretch the trial outto as long as two months.
- I think it's certainly possible
that this trial couldlast one to two weeks.
On the other hand, if theSenate makes a decision
to go down the road ofadditional witnesses,
that could extend it to six,eight weeks or even longer.
So I think there arereally two paths here.
- While Majority Leader Mitch McConnell
is still drafting the ground rules,
GOP Senators are consideringa kill switch option
should the impeachmenttrial spiral out of control.
Dale Hurd, CBN News.

days of ahead of today's rally,
temporarily banning gunsfrom Capitol grounds.

with reports that white nationalists
and extreme militia groupsare planning to attend.
Northam and the Democrats proposed several
gun control measures after a mass shooting

- Jamal and Natasha Miller are rock star
millennial entrepreneurs.
They're running a seven figure company.
But just a few years ago theywere living on food stamps.
That's when Jamal hearda message about money
that led to an amazingreversal of fortune.
- [Reporter] In 2011Jamal Miller met Natasha
through Facebook, nine monthslater, the two were married.
And their love story went viral.
The couple startedblogging about their lives
and Christian relationshipthrough their website,
Married and Young.
Meanwhile, Jamal was working in ministry,
but soon got what he thoughtwas a better job offer
in a different part of the country.
- I took a positionsomewhere outside of Chicago.
I left my home church,and within nine months
we knew that we had steppedoutside of God's will.
- [Reporter] The Millersdecided to return to Chicago.
Jamal lined up a new job, butthat one then fell through.
- We hit rock bottom, andI remember at this point
I did not know, I was like,"God, why is this happening?"
- Seeing him struggle,it kind of was like,
okay, what are we gonna do now?
- [Reporter] With no consistent income
and their first child on the way,
Jamal took part-timejobs wherever he could.
- I was driving Uber, driving Lyft.
I would come home, I wouldwork from 8:00 to 1:00,
take a break, and then from 2:00 to 9:00
or 2:00 to 10 every day Iwould work our online business.
- I was actually the one that went
to the state aid office,and feeling ashamed, like,
"God, I know that wedon't have a lot of money,
"but there's people in herethat don't have anything."
- I felt like I was beingstripped of my manhood
and I was not able tofulfill my duties as a man.
- [Reporter] In yearspast Jamal and Natasha
had been faithful tithers,but as their money woes grew,
Jamal decided to cut back on giving.
- It actually shocked me to see my husband
close his heart off to giving.
- Because I was like, "God, not everything
"is picture perfect rightnow, you understand."
- [Reporter] After months of scraping by,
Jamal heard a message from hispastor he knew was for him.
- And he said that, "Many of you need
"to break the spirit of control off of you
"in regards to money."
I was like, "Oh my gosh, this is me."
And his call to action was to sow a seed
of a thousand dollars.
- [Reporter] Thatthousand dollars was half
of the Miller's remaining savings.
Jamal called Natashaand told her he wanted
to give that money to God.
- As I was shocked, I began to see a Jamal
that was filled with faith,and immediately my faith
attached itself to hisfaith, and we did it.
- [Reporter] After givingthe $1,000 to their church,
the Millers recommittedto tithing regularly.
And at that time Jamalprayed an unusual request.
- "God, if you're gonna bespecific about the amount
"of money, I wanna bespecific about my request,
"that I will get an idea,that I will get something
"that will position usas a family to be able
"to create real wealth thatwill last for generations."
- [Reporter] After thatprayer, the Millers say
God directed them torefocus on their website.
- It all came together andwe said, "Let's teach people
"how to truly becomethe one worth marrying
"to where when they meet theirspouse, they will be whole."
- We kind of just beganto really put God back
in the driver's seat, ourprayer life began to increase.
- [Reporter] Their smallblog and video webinars
began getting tons of traffic.
Jamal and Natasha turned Married and Young
into an online ministry program,
and the results have been amazing.
- We went from making aninconsistent amount of money
every month to now making aguaranteed $20,000 every month.
From a course to a conference
and now a full-blown membership site
inspiring thousands ofcouples to truly invest
in themselves before they get married.
- [Reporter] Today, Marriedand Young's ministry
has transformed into the One University.
The Millers have written a book that was
on Amazon's Hot New Releases list.
And they've even beenfeatured in Forbes.com
has rock star millennial entrepreneurs.
Jamal and Natasha, withtheir two daughters,
Harvest and Melody, creditGod for their success
because of theirfaithfulness through giving.
- Tithing has opened up doorsthat man could never open.
The favor that has been released upon us
has been insurmountable.
- This is the way thatwe believe that the Lord
is calling us to change the world.
It's to be extravagant givers.
- You can be an extravagant giver.
God loves a generous soul.
He is generous Himself.
For God so loved the world that He gave.
And when you realize that when you start
that life of giving, that generosity,
you're becoming more and more like Him.
Now, here's Jamal, he'srunning into hard times,
and believe me, this is tough,
when literally you're down to food stamps,
and then he hears a message on tithing
and he realizes, "I'mnot doing it God's way.
"I've withheld, and Ishouldn't live life this way."
He commits himself to tithe,he commits himself first
to make a large gift, and then he commits
to regular giving, and thenhe does something unique.
He says, "God, you'vebeen specific with me
"as to what you want, youwant 10%, you want a tithe,
"now I'm gonna be specific with you
"and I'm going to havesome specific prayers."
His prayers follow the Wordof God, and yours can too.
Here it is from Proverbs chapter 13.
"A good man leaves an inheritance
"to his children's children."
So what Jamal's prayingis he's praying scripture.
He says, "Lord, I wantgenerational wealth.
"I want wealth that will goto my children's children."
And that's a wonderful thing,God wants you to have that.
And then in James chapter one he says
if you need ideas, I'll give them to you.
"If any of you lackwisdom, let him ask of God,
"who gives to all liberally."
And that can also be translated largely.
So here's Jamal, first he says"I want generational wealth,
"I wanna leave an inheritanceto my children's children,"
and then he says, "Lord, I need an idea.
"I need you to show me theway to go, I need wisdom."
When you do the same thingand you pray the same way
you will get the same result.
It starts first withobedience to say, God,
I wanna live life your way.
When you do it His way, that'swhen the blessings come.
Chanel Stewart made one simple change
and then watched her business grow
from having zero clients tobeing forced to turn ones away.
In fact, her financialturnaround was so drastic
even her ex-husband took notice.
- [Reporter] Randall andChanel Stewart married
when he was 18 and she was17 years old and pregnant.
At the time, both wereoptimistic about their future.
- I just felt like,wow, this is my chance.
I'm grown up now, I can start a new life.
But things quickly wentthe other direction.
- [Reporter] Randall joined the Air Force
to provide for their family,
but soon they started havingcommunication problems.
- When Chanel wanted to discuss a matter,
if it angered me, I justwanted to be left alone.
- I believe that both of uscame in with woundedness.
Both have us have fatherwounds and being rejected,
and so we brought thisbaggage into our marriage.
- [Reporter] The couple grew distant.
At times there was physical abuse.
Then in 1993 they filed for divorce.
Chanel became a single mom trying
to make a living as a hairstylist in someone else's salon.
But between that and some other odd jobs,
she struggled to pay the bills.
- I would go in this salon,and sometimes sit six
or seven hours and do no one's hair.
Having my lights get cutoff, I felt horrible.
I felt like I had failedand that I failed in
even the career that I sopursued all those years.
- [Reporter] During thistime she had a co-worker
who was a Christian.
One day Chanel asked togo to church with her.
- I was sick of the life that I had,
and she was like, "Sure,"it was almost like
she was waiting on me to ask her.
- [Reporter] A month later
Chanel surrendered her life to Christ.
She began gettinginvolved in Bible studies,
and she also started tithing.
- By this point and timeI may have been doing
a couple of clients, not even a day.
So if I would have made $25 that day,
I was giving God 10% of that $25.
- [Reporter] Soon afterward Chanel noticed
she was getting more clients.
- My business began to grow.
And then all of a sudden italmost seemed like rapidly.
My business went fromnot doing anyone's hair
to me turning clients away at times.
- [Reporter] Chanel kept in contact
with her ex-husband Randall.
One day he noticed thechange in her business.
- Just seeing Him growher business that quick
just from that act ofobedience was amazing to me.
She just went up to the shop every day,
and so the only thingthat she had changed was
she just started tithing.
- [Reporter] Randall gavehis life to Christ as well
and soon afterward heand Chanel remarried.
Randall started tithing too.
- Baby, you wanna do this or what?
I was like, "Okay, baby,when the check come in,
"just take it off the top."
And God has been faithful.
- [Reporter] Soon the couplesaw even more blessings
in their lives, Randall got a new job.
With that came a 10% salary increase.
They also were able to buy a new home.
- I never had a job wherethey offered me more
than I was already making.
So I just give all the glory to Him.
- I said, "Thank you,Lord" probably on a daily,
because it's amazing to methat He has even allowed us
to obtain the things that we've obtained.
- [Reporter] Chanel isno longer styling hair.
Instead, she can be a stay-at-home mom.
She and Randall are thrivingin every area of their lives.
They encourage others to give in faith
so they can be blessed too.
- God says, "Test me in this and see
"don't I open up the floodgates of heaven
"and pour you out ablessing that you don't have
"room enough to receive."
I know for certain that Hewill move on your behalf
just by that simple step of obedience.
- It's a honor to be obedientto Christ in my giving.
I love it, and it's not justabout the material things,
but it's just an honor to give and to obey
and to serve Christ even in my giving.
- Let Chanel and Randall'sstory inspire you
to realize that when you put God first,
these wonderful things will happen.
Here's Chanel and she'sworking as a hair stylist
and she doesn't have any clients.
The only thing that changesis she starts to tithe
and then the clients start to appear.
It amazes her ex-husband, it amazes her,
and let it amaze you as to what can happen
when you put God first.
Here it is from Proverbs chapter three,
"Honor the Lord with your possessions,
"and with the first fruitsof all your increase
"so you barns will be filled with plenty
"and your vats willoverflow with new wine."

The hardest part was just not being able
to afford groceries, I wouldjust eat Ramen noodles.

you know what I mean?
But yeah, I used to eat Ramennoodles for lunch and dinner.

blesses others as well as those who give.

I decided I needed to start tithing.
- [Reporter] After Briannamade that decision,
she saw immediate blessings.

over a year and a half,yes, and I received
four pay raises withouteven being there a year.

what God is teaching her about giving.

whatever it is, God can use it and do
so much more with it than you ever could.

Terry, over to you.
- When Mrs. Tau's son got sick,
she felt death closing inon him like a black hole.
Her daughter became sick as well.
The entire family wasin danger all because
they had no clean drinking water.
Chau Yen always lookedforward to the rain.
- It makes me happy.
Usually during the dry season I had wait
at least two months to take a shower.
My skin got itchy, I smelledbad, and I felt dirty.
- [Terry] That's becausethe only water Chau Yen
and her family had tobathe with or drink came
from a pond that was hours away.
- There were worms and leaves in it,
and it made all of us sick.
My daughter got so badthat she couldn't sleep.
I remember one time she was rolling around
in her bed sweating, she said, "Mom,
"I have a worm in my stomach."
- [Terry] The bacteria inthe water was even more
of a problem for ChauYen's little brother.
- My son was severelymalnourished, and I was afraid
if my boy kept drinkingthat water he would die.
- [Terry] So the Tau's spent all they had
to buy fresh water for their children.
- I couldn't resist taking a sip,
but I know my brother neededit a lot more than I did.
I hope it's what make him better.
- [Terry] But after threemonths, the fresh water ran out
and the Tau's son ended up in the hospital
with severely inflamed intestines.
- I thought about the bills,about the dirty water,
and about my sick son, I felt cornered.
- I felt death closing in on my son
like a black hole ahead.
- [Terry] Mr. Tau contactedhis village chief,
who put him in touch with CBN.
We quickly paid forthe boy's medical care.
We also made sure that there'dbe no more close calls.
So we built the Taus a cistern
and gave them a water filter.
- You have rescued mychildren from disease.
My son is healthy, hecan drink clean water,
and I don't have to worryabout his intestines
getting infected anymore.
- Now we don't have to worryabout being dirty and sick.
No more showers in the cold rain.
I love this water.
- I learned it was Godwho helped us through CBN.
He gave us hope and new life through you.
- Often when people aregiven clean drinking water
they ask if there's sugar in it
because it tastes sosweet to them compared to
what they have to drinkwhen they can only go
to dirty swamps and rivers and streams.
We say thank you,everybody needs cleanwater
to be able to survive.

- All right, one yearafter a Cat-5 hurricane
flooded their home, Micah and Courtney
still can't live in it.
Even worse, insurancewon't pay another cent.
This hard-working militaryfamily didn't know
where they were going toget the money to rebuild,
until they got a hand upfrom Helping the Homefront.
- [Reporter] Special opsmedic Micah has seen his share
of combat on thebattlefield in Afghanistan.
His wife Courtney is extremely proud
of her husband'sdecorated military career.
- It definitely takes a specialperson to be willing to go
knowing I might not come home.
Yeah, I'm definitely veryproud of what he did.
- [Reporter] In October 2018the family faced a war zone
at their own home whencategory five hurricane Michael
pummeled Panama City, Florida.
Floodwaters rose to theceiling of their house,
destroying everythingexcept the home's framework.
- You think it's gonna be a couple months
and they'll get you back in your house,
but as you can see, down to the studs.
So did not expect this.
- [Reporter] In fact,it's been nearly a year
since the family of five evacuated.
They've been living in this30-foot camper ever since.
- There's been some real trying times
where God has really had to work on us
and teach us some hard life lessons
and teach us to lean on Him
when we're pretty much out of strength.
- [Reporter] Then another blow
to an already difficult situation.
Their insurance companytold them their policy
had reached its limit and the family
would be responsible forthe remaining repairs
that would costs thousands of dollars,
money they didn't have.
Their pastor, AndyLambert, asked them over
to get an update on the situation.
- Insurance company is nowlooking at our claim saying,
"You guys are completely maxed out.
"There is no more money to give you guys
"to replace that brick.
"There is no more money to give you guys

More than a third ofmillennials are living
with their parents, mainly because
they can't afford to live on their own.
But not Jordan and Erin Zitoun.
They're already successfulreal estate brokers
who never worry about adownturn in the market.
That's because they'vediscovered a financial strategy
that has multiplied their profits.
- [Reporter] Jordan and ErinZitoun work hard and play hard.
They stay fit, love a good meal,
and like many millennials,they go online a lot
and stay connected through social media.
But both admit they need to be careful
because it's easy to getsucked into a selfie mindset.
- There's just a lot ofpeople just trying to get
and gather and absorb as much as they can
for self interest and tolook good as far as outfits
or where they live or what car they drive.
Everyone's hyper competitive
and everyone's trying to get ahead.
- [Reporter] The Zitoun's try hard
to stay focused on other things.
- We prioritized whenwe first got married,
God is number one andthen family number two
and then our jobs and career number three.
- [Reporter] And whilethey're very successful
real estate brokers,their goal isn't to build
a big bank account so theycan buy things for themselves.
Instead, they choose toinvest in promoting God
and giving to others.
- I believe that's whatthe Lord put me here for.
- [Reporter] The Zitoun'stithe to their church
and are CBN partners.
They increase their givingto CBN on a regular basis.
- I made a covenant inmy heart with the Lord
that I would give 5% more a year.
And in doing that it waskind of a step of faith
and I realized He really is my provider,
so I can trust Him withthese extra little bits
every month and every year.
- [Reporter] Since giving more,they've seen their profits
consistently increasefor the past six years.
Jordan and Erin credittheir success to God
and encourage others to put God first
in their lives and give.
- We're not any differentor any more special
than the guy next to us.
I think we've just found thiskey to the kingdom in a way
to partner with God and whatHe's doing on the earth.
- I think it's about yourheart posture towards the Lord
and towards the thingthat you're giving to.
- [Reporter] The Zitoun'sespecially like giving to CBN
because of how CBN uses social media
to share stories of God's love.
- I repost them on my Facebook,
and it's just a nice toolthat the Lord's using nowadays
to plant seeds in peopleand just reach out to them.
- I just know in my life that the Lord,
He's filled me with thislove and His Spirit,
and it just makes me come alive.
I know that God reallyis everything in life,
and so if I can partner with God
in bringing that samemessage to millions of people
across the world throughwhat CBN is doing,
then what an amazingopportunity and a privilege.
I would encourage othersto be partners with CBN
because it really has broughtso much blessing to our life.
There's honestly no betterorganization out there
to give to as far as Christian ministries.

she worried about what wouldbecome of her children.
But not anymore, thanksto Orphan's Promise.

Brenda and her 90 childrentake shelter in their new home.
Orphan's Promise helped them move here
after their previous landlordgave them an eviction notice.

The landlord was a Muslim and didn't like
that we were praying andsinging gospel songs.
At times we only had one meal each day,
or nothing at all.

When she was young shelost both her parents
and lived on the streets.

what I went through.
- [Terry] With the helpof Orphan's Promise,
Brenda provides childrenhere with a safe home,
three meals per day, and anopportunity to get an education.
- Seeing them happy brings me so much joy.
On Sundays we sit under the tree
and talk about God's goodnessand what He has done for us.
- [Terry] All of thewonderful work Brenda does
almost came to an end whenshe got breast cancer.
- I had painful headaches andfelt sick most of the time.
When the doctors told me I had cancer,
I didn't even know what that was.
They said I needed immediate surgery,
but there was no way I could afford it.
- [Terry] When we learnedabout Brenda's illness,
we covered all her medical bills,
including multiplesurgeries and chemotherapy
and radiation treatment.
Today she is cancer free.
- Nothing is impossible for God.
Because you saved mylife, you saved the lives
of all my children too.
Without you they'd allbe back on the streets
and have no one to take care of them.
Now I can give them a life I never had.
Thank you, CBN, andthank you CBN partners.
May God bless all of you abundantly.
- [All] Thank you, CBN!

as an income as a single parent and having
to run a household, Ididn't have anything.
- [Reporter] On top ofthe financial struggle,
Corey knew she needed emotionaland spiritual support.
- You're trying to graspfor anything that you can
to hold onto, and it'slike, there's nothing else.
I need a mentor, I need toget plugged in somewhere,
I don't know.
- [Reporter] Then Corey foundout about Operation Blessing
partner Hill Country Daily Bread.
- It really is a blessing in a box.
You're gonna get some frozen meat.

with Operation Blessing is vital.
we match the spiritual, the relational,
and the resources together to form this
sort of envelope of carearound people in need.
- It makes a huge differencein a single mom's household
to have a stable, reliableplate on the table
and be thankful for that.
- We couldn't affordto do what we do today
without Operation Blessing.
So please give, give generously.
It directly impacts the life of people
in the United States, all over.
- Don't hesitate, thereturn is astronomical.
Thank you, just to hear that people
actually really wanna helpother people, it's awesome.
- To hear that peopleactually wanna help people,
what a strange world we live in.
But realize that Christiansare known for their generosity.

And I believe in the gospel of generosity.
God wants us to be generous.
He was generous, He gave themost precious thing to us,
His only begotten Son.

but you can't love without giving.

helping people all over the world,
like a little boy fromTanzania named Alia.
He wasn't able to run and play
like the other children in his village.
In fact, he could barely even walk.
- [Reporter] Alia is a happy little boy,
but walking has always been a struggle.
- When he was a baby,his legs were bowed out.
We thought he would outgrowit, but as he got older,
it became worse.
With every step he takes, he is in pain.
- [Reporter] He often watches hopelessly
as other children play and run around.
- He cry out, "Come backand play where I am."
He knows he is not like them.
He point to his legs and ask, "When will I
"be able to walk and run like they do?"
The hospital told us he needed surgery,
but there was no way we could afford it.
There were days I went inside the house,
locked myself in, and criedout to God to help my son.
- [Reporter] When his momlearned about Plaster House,
a ministry supportedby Operation Blessing,
she reached out to us.
We visited their homeand soon arranged for him
to get the surgery he needed.
- One of the many benefits ofhim getting this surgery now
when he's so young,it'll heal really well,
and pretty soon he's gonnabe able to go to school
without anybody ever teasing him,
nobody giving him a hardtime, and he'll be able
to run around and playwith all the other kids.
- [Mother] I knew Godwould hear my prayers.
- [Reporter] After a successful surgery,
Alia and his mom went toPlaster House for his recovery.
Now that the casts areremoved, he's up and running.
- The day his casts cameoff, he was very excited
and wanted to walk immediately.
All his pain is gone,now every time he sees
other kids playing, heruns to them to play.
Surely it is God, He blessedyou so you can bless us.

so more mothers andchildren may be helped.
