Hit hard by business failures and bankruptcy, Glenn and Regina were in such a bad place they couldn’t even afford a refrigerator for food. There didn’t seem to be a way out, until they discovered a biblical principle from Pat Robertson that ...

- [Reporter] Coming up,30 years, no relief.
- [Woman] I can't take this pain,
but I had to endure it.
- [Reporter] A car accidentleft her with chronic pain.
- And I couldn't getthat pain to go nowhere.
- [Reporter] Now, see her instinct cure.
- [Woman] Wait a minute, is this real?
- [Reporter] Plus, the football star
and champion for the faith.
Tim Tebow joins us live
and introduces us to someof his newest friends
on today's "700 Club."
(light music)
- Well, welcome folks.
We're delighted to have you
as members of our "700 Club" audience.
And thank you for being with us.
You know, a great caravanis heading toward America.
Why? Because the immigrants feel
as they can now get into this country.
And so, they're at the border ready to go.
And what are we looking at?
Sweeping immigration reform.
President Biden is proposinga path to citizenship
for millions of undocumentedimmigrants and dreamers.
Could this cause a mass migration,
flooding our bordersand putting our nation
in even greater peril from the pandemic?
Well, that's not all thepresident is proposing
for immigration reform.
Eric Philips has that full story.
- The president's priorityhighlighted during his campaign
is reuniting immigrant families separated
under the Trump administration'szero tolerance policy.
That executive order creates a task force
that would identify separatedchildren in the U.S.
and find their parentsspread across Latin America
where they were likely deported.
There are some 600parentless children here,
according to the ACLU.
Jim Daly with Focus On The Family calls it
a step in the right direction.
- I think it's goodfor the U.S. government
to try to keep those families together.
I was a foster care child.
I know what it means to beseparated from your family.
And that's a scary time for a child.
- [Eric] A second executiveorder directs Homeland Security
to review the Trump,Remain in Mexico Policy.
It restricts those seekingasylum from crossing the border
while they wait for theircases to be decided.
Monday the White Houseasked the Supreme Court
to cancel upcomingarguments on the legality
of the program arguingit leaves asylum seekers
in potential danger.
Sister Norma Pimintel iswith Catholic Charities
of the Rio Grande Valley.
- Yes, it's important tokeep our country safe,
to know who enters our country,
but we also must not lose our humanity
in the process of doing that.
- [Eric] The Biden administration
is proposing sweeping immigration reform
that will provide a path to citizenship
for millions of undocumentedimmigrants and dreamers,
those brought to the U.S.illegally as children.
The administration is moving carefully,
however, so it doesn'tencourage any mass migration
in these COVID times, floodingborders where some families
have been waiting a year ormore to enter the country.
But, as "CBN News"correspondent, Chuck Holton,
reports from Mexico, manyare already on the way.
- This migrant center inJuarez has several 100 migrants
from Guatemala, Honduras, Brazil, and Cuba
and they're seeing a big increase
over the last several weekssince the inauguration
as more migrants flood into this city,
all hoping to get acrossinto the United States.
- [Translator] We came to the border
because we thought theyhad canceled the MPP.
We are all here waitingfor Joe Biden to help us,
all of us, Cubans, Hondurans, Guatemalans.
We've been waiting for this day.
- What he is doing is creatinga new crisis at the border
and one that will have a direct impact
on both the national health crisis,
because you cannot testeverybody who comes across
and the national unemployment crisis,
because all these peopleare going to need to work.
- And I hope we, as an American nation,
can actually secure the borders
and do the things to put people in line
who wanna get here.
- Reversing policies won't come easy
for the Biden administration.
Many were enacted through regulations
under the previous administration
and it will likely takemonths to change them.
Eric Philips, "CBN News."
- You know folks, I always felt
those DACAs deserved citizenship.
They've been here most of their lives
and they're wonderful American.
There's no reason we couldn'tgive them citizenship.
But to bring in people illegally,
people who've come and broken our laws
and there reward for breaking our laws
is to be made citizens of thiscountry, to get healthcare,
and all the other privilegesthat we get as Americans,
it's just insane.
No country, no country can exist
if it doesn't have any kind
of control over immigration, no country.
You just can't openyour border to everybody
because in Latin America, what are there?
300 million people there
and they'd love to come live in America.
And you say, well, youknow, they're in danger,
their lives and so forth.
Well, that's one reason to let them in,
but just the fact thatthey think it's gonna be
a better life here than it isin Honduras or El Salvador,
that is not a reason to grant citizenship.
And you've got peoplewho've legally come in
and they deserve a place,
but they've waited andthey've obeyed our laws.
These other people have broken our laws
and yet we're going to reward them
under the current Biden plan.
By being illegal, we will give them
the privileges of citizenship.
It doesn't make any sense.
Well, the question we askourselves is an impeachment
can you impeach somebodywho is no longer in office?
With that bill it be amount
to what's called a bill of attainder,
is that what it would be?
Is it legal?
Can you impeach somebodywho isn't in office anymore?
Well, the first clash is in theupcoming impeachment battle.
What is it?
And what happens next?
John Jessup has that.
- Thanks, Pat.
Former President Trump'sdefense team denies
that the Senate has the rightto hold an impeachment trial
and it's challenged to theHouse impeachment managers case,
his attorneys claim theconstitution requires a person
to be a current office holderto be impeached and removed.
And since Mr. Trump isno longer in office,
impeachment they say, does not apply.
They're also refuting charges
that the president'sstatements to the crowd
at the January 6th rallyled to the Capitol invasion.
They say the president's words were
about the need to fight forelection security in general,
not to interfere withcounting the electoral votes.
And Pat, the Senate trial asyou know, begins next week.
- Well, you know, what is the purpose?
We're gonna hold up America,we've got to get relief
to people who are suffering.
We've got this COVID crisis.
So, what are we gonna do?
We're gonna spend timein a fruitless endeavor
because just like the last one,
there is no way the Senateis going to vote two thirds
to impeach PresidentTrump, ex-President Trump,
or any other Trump.
It's not gonna happen.
It wasn't gonna happen thelast time, it won't happen now.
But what is the House trying to do?
Well, they just don't likeTrump and they wanna hate him
and they wanna show thisis how come we hate him,
but that's not reasonenough to stall the Senate.
And they say, well, you can walk
and chew gum at the same time.
And so we can get appointments through
while we're still conducting a trial.
It isn't gonna work that way.
But, you know, whoever heard of a trial
where the defense attorneydidn't have a chance
to question witnesses,
didn't have a chance to bring evidence,
where there was no evidenceone way or the other
and the defendant had nochance to defend himself.
Whoever heard of such a thing?
That's not due process.
But, that's what the House did.
They gave the president noopportunity to defend anything.
They just rushed through an impeachment.
And now they've got it
and it's been delivered to the Senate
and the Senate should say,"This is unconstitutional,
we're not gonna take it."
But oh no, they'll have to hold a trial
and it'll take forever.
The chief judge won't be doingit because he can only sit
in the trial of a president.
So, the speaker pro tempore of the Senate
is going to presideand he's, I understand,
having some illness.
So, who knows what's gonna happen,
but we just have gotta stop
this politics of personal destruction.
We can't have it.
And if they can impeach President Trump
after he's out of office,
think of what the Republicanscan do to the next Democrat
or they could do to somebody else.
It violates the constitution
and we need to abide by whatthe constitution has to say.
Well, it was a tragedyabout serving a warrant
and two brave FBI agents have been dead
because of what happened.
John has more.
- That is right, Pat.
The FBI is investigating the shooting
that left two agentsdead and three wounded
in Sunrise, Florida, Tuesday.
Special agents, Daniel Alfinand Laura Schwartzenberger
were fatally shot whena suspect opened fire
as they served a search warrant.
The case dealing with violentcrimes against children.
Multiple law enforcementagencies responded,
swarming to the South Florida neighborhood
when the suspect barricadedhimself in his apartment.
He later died of aself-inflicted gunshot wound.
Well, murder rates saw
a historic increase nationwide last year,
according to a report from
the National Commission ofCOVID-19 in Criminal Justice.
As "CBN's" Charlene Aaron reports,
experts analyzed datafrom American cities,
big and small, to investigatethe pandemic's impact.
- The study looked atcrime rates in 34 cities,
ranging in size from NewYork to Norfolk, Virginia.
In addition to the significantspike in homicides,
researchers found how thepandemic may have contributed
to the uptick in violence.
While 2020 will be rememberedfor deaths due to COVID-19,
this report also found an increase
of 1,268 homicides over the year before.
Statistics in urban areastell an even bigger story.
In Milwaukee the total increased by 85%.
Seattle saw a 63% rise,New York city, 43%.
And in Chicago, a cityknown for shootings,
there were 278 more murdersin 2020, an increase of 55%.
While other crimes such as stolen cars
and assaults rose as well,
the report takes a closelook at the connection
between the homicideincrease and the pandemic.
It points to stress caused
by isolation and extremesocial restrictions,
combined with economicloss and fear of death
as possible factors.
- We see even thehealthiest of individuals
with unlimited resourcesto coping strategies
who are struggling.
- [Charlene] Dr. Danny Holland
of Regent University'sSchool of Psychology,
leads the Institute for Violence Research.
He says those stressors could lead people
to violence and even murder.
- Definitely could.
It could push somebody over the edge.
I think somebody who has apropensity for aggression
or somebody who has atendency to be aggressive
in other different ways,may go that direction.
- [Charlene] Still, COVIDisn't the only reason
behind the increase.
Extreme violence rackedmany cities following
the police-related deaths of George Floyd
and other African-Americans.
Criminologists also siteincreased gang violence
and a surge in gun ownership.
Filmmaker DimasSalaberrios recently looked
at the impact of surging violence
in his film, "Chicago:America's Hidden War,"
which is under Oscar consideration.
He describes it's devastation
on communities, particularly children.
- We were walking through the streets.
We asked for the addresses
of the most dangerous blocks in Chicago.
And we remember, we met this little kid,
his name was Quincy whowas sleeping under his bed.
He said his house had bullet holes in it.
He's seen bullets fly everywhere.
We talked to another kid whowas around nine years old.
He said, "I watched in front of my face
my cousin get beat up andshot twice and killed.
Then the killer cameback and shot him again."
He said, "I can neverforget these things."
- [Charlene] Salaberrios says the church
can make a difference.
- This film shows gunsbeing turned into pastors,
people being baptized and quitting gangs.
The church is the answer
and we can bring the homicides down,
but we gotta stay out there.
- Meanwhile experts say,given these findings,
it's crucial we get thepandemic under control.
Then law enforcement, the church,
and community leaders can work
on ways to bring people together
to stem violence across America.
Charlene Aaron, "CBN News."
- Thanks Charlene.
Well, some promising newson the coronavirus front.
Researchers at Oxford Universitysay the AstraZeneca vaccine
is not only 76% effective after one dose,
but people who get theshot are also less likely
to spread the disease to others.
Health experts say reducingtransmission is vital
as more contagious strains arecropping up around the globe,
some of which appear tobe resistant to vaccines.
Here in the United States,
access to vaccines is about to expand.
One million doses are slated for more
than 6,000 pharmacies acrossthe country next week,
making it easier for thoseeligible to receive the shot.
And Pat that's especially true
in rural and low-income communities.
- So, certainly a welcome thing.
My oldest son came bythe house the other day
and I said, "What are you doing?"
He said, "well, I'm going tohave to go across the river
to Newport News becauseI have an appointment
to get a vaccination, a shot over there."
And they weren't doing it inVirginia Beach or Norfolk.
He had to go to adjoiningcity across the James River.
I don't know where they're showing you.
Have you gotten it?
- I haven't.
Both my parents have had both their shots,
but they're in West Virginia
which is leading the nationin the vaccine roll out.
- It's amazing, what is Jim Justice?
He just got it and got them all out there.
He's something else.
- I'm gonna actually talked to him today
and we'll have a story on soon.
- Oh good.- And find out exactly
what they did because they
are leading the nationand most people, not most,
but a lot of people have already
had their second shot there.
- It's amazing.
Well, hopefully this new AstraZeneca thing
that you can do with one shot,but you've had to take two.
Johnson and Johnsonwas gonna bring out one
with a one shotter, butthey haven't gotten it out.
But this one, if it'sthat effective, who knows.
But anyhow.
Somebody is gonna be able to get so far.
- Hopefully soon, all right.
Well up next, this couplewas living the high life
until they hit rock bottom.
How did they go fromliving out of a cooler
to running a multi-million dollar company?
See for yourself.
And then later, the footballlegend, philanthropist,
and now a children's book author.
Tim Tebow invites us to hisparty to remember, coming up.
(light music)
- Imagine, so poor that theydidn't even own a refrigerator.
The Henderson's were livingout of a cooler, a cooler.
It was a steep fall for a couple
who had been once living the high life.
So, what took them from riches to rags?
And then how did they come roaring back
with a multi-million dollar business?
This is kind of an interesting story.
Taking a look
- [Reporter] Glenn Hendersonof Jacksonville, Florida serves
as a consultant forcorporations like Hobby Lobby
and the American Bible Society.
He and his wife, Regina,are successful entrepreneurs
who seemed to have it all.
- My husband and I are type A individuals.
We're very driven.
We're nonstop.
- [Reporter] When they first married,
the Henderson's starteda transport business
and initially did very well.
- We had been living very, very high
and enjoying things thatwere shiny and glitzy,
but not really focusing on the God
that we had both beenraised to love and know.
We were more takers than givers.
We got in trouble with theInternal Revenue Service
and we incurred a lot of debt.
- it was one blow afteranother, one loss after another.
And then that was the timethat we just hit rock bottom.
- [Reporter] They hadto declare bankruptcy.
For the next two years,
the Henderson's struggled to start over,
but all their efforts seemed fruitless.
- We were so poor that wedidn't even have a refrigerator.
We were living out of a cooler.
There was no income
and I have used to put change into a jar,
whatever loose money I had in my pocket.
And so, we actually livedon that for quite some time.
- [Reporter] Then, Reginastarted watching "The 700 Club"
and shared what she waslearning with Glenn.
- "The 700 Club" was very instrumental
in encouraging us during that time period.
- We heard about this law of reciprocity
from this guy by thename of Pat Robertson.
It was at that timethat we began to realize
that God has everythingto say about His money
and money that He affords us to manage.
And that became very importantto us in honoring our Lord
and honoring God in the things that we do.
- We understood from our time of learning
that we should pray about it.
We should ask God to help us.
We should give of ourselves.
We didn't have any money to give.
So, we would go to the foodbanks and we would help there.
- I delivered meals on wheels.
I remember taking care of elderly people
and just say, "Well Lord,I don't have money to give,
but I will give of my time.
I will give of whatever talents I have."
- [Reporter] Soon after,Glenn and Regina got work
as contractors and launched AFC Worldwide,
the transport companyfrom their apartment.
They started tithing from their income.
Gradually worked their way out of debt.
- We came to learn that yougrow as the business grows.
So, when the businessactually outgrew the apartment
and is when we subletted another location.
And then once we grew too big for that,
then we got our own place.
- [Reporter] In 2008, the company
they contracted for folded.
So, the Henderson's tookover many of their contracts.
The very next year, theybrought in $200,000 in revenue.
As they grew, they continued to give.
Soon they were servinghigh profile clients,
including Motorola, Hallmark,and the White House.
- As we we're focused andcommitted to biblical principles
and not borrowing and justdoing things little by little,
as Deuteronomy as those passages says,
the Lord gave us increaseand He provided for us.
We had favor and we beganto see our lives change.
- [Reporter] By the timethey sold their company,
three years later, sales weretrending to hit $100 million.
- It just changed our whole world
that the business does not belong to us.
It belongs to God.
- [Reporter] Glenn now oversees and serves
as a pastor of a 100,000square foot ministry
and commercial space.
He and Regina continuetithing from their investments
and enjoy teaching othersthe principles of giving.
- We're givers now.
We enjoy the fact thatwe can not only tithe,
but that we can do above.
- It's really not about the money.
It's about your heart.
And it's about how youmanage God's resources.
He will provide for us
if we've managed things His way.
Money is a cruel master,but a great servant.
And if we use it to bring gloryto God, He will bless you.
- Isn't that great?
Money is a good servant
and it should be a servant.
You know, the Bibletalks about the question
of how you take care of what's here.
And Jesus gave a parable about somebody
and the result was make friends
with the righteous mammon.
Make friends with yourmoney so when it fails,
they will receive youwith eternal habitations.
Make friends with your money.
And so, why not?
You know, it isn't hard to give.
It's fun to give.
It's always an opportunity.
When somebody offers mean opportunity to give,
I think, man, this is a chance
to look what God's gonna do.
I'm gonna see 30, 60, and100 fold blessing back.
Why not?
God says it.
You know, it's in theword, it's in the Bible.
He says, "Prove me withyour tithes and offerings.
If I wanna open the windows of heaven
and pour you out such ablessing, you can't contain it."
I like that.
I want so much I can't contain it.
Well, why not?
That's what happenedwith Glenn and Regina.
It was so much, they couldn't contain it.
It was huge what God did.
Now look, what we'd like youto do is join "The 700 Club."
Why don't you start like they did?
I mean, $20 a month and see what happens.
And then maybe you wanna go more.
That's fine too.
But when you do, Iwanna give you something
that I hope will be a blessing,
it's called, "I HaveWalked With The Living God"
and this is a book that has,
it's got a whole bunch of pictures in here
that just startingabout the days of "CBN,"
about how you can overcome trials,
how you can get victoryover demonic spirits.
I mean, it's an incredible book.
All kinds of wonderful things in it.
And we'll give this to you free
if you just call in right now and say,
"I want it to be a '700 Club' member."
$20 a month, 65 cents.
But if you don't, God says,
"Prove me and look what happens."
So, the telephone numberis 1-800-700-7000.
- So many great stories, Pat,
that you tell that build yourfaith and you don't hold back.
You tell it like it happened.
I love it.
- It's brutally honest.
I admitted a whole lot of mistakes
and I give God the gloryfor all the blessing,
but anyhow, $20 a month and this is yours.
Or you can get, we had Kevin Sorbo
do a electronic version of it
and you can get that oneif you're interested.
And $20 a month and you can be,
well you can receive a blessing.
I hope this book is a blessing to you.
I'd like to, Wendy?
- It was to me.
All right, well like adouble punch to the gut,
that's how Craig described the pain
of coping with the COVID pandemic
and then being hit bya cat four hurricane.
Can you imagine?
All the residents ofLake Charles, Louisiana
were reeling in theaftermath of that storm.
They were desperate for food and water
until Operation Blessingcame to the rescue.
- [Reporter] The COVID-19outbreak hit America hard.
When category four hurricaneLaura ripped through Louisiana,
things went from bad to worse.
- It's like a double punch.
The ole one two, you get the COVID
then you get the hurricane.
And it was our year I guess.
Literally the place lookedlike a bomb went off.
- Lake Charles people havelost just about everything.
Business too.
So, my heart go out to themand myself and my family.
- Been no water, there's beenno electricity now for days.
- [Reporter] With noelectricity for several weeks,
everyone's perishable food went bad fast.
- We had to stand inlong lines to get food
for COVID and everything.
And then this hit and it's terrible.
- [Reporter] Pastor JerrySnyder and his wife, Hope,
partnered with OperationBlessing to host a food
and supplies distribution at their church.
- We're giving out fresh produce.
We're giving out productsthat they need to clean.
We're giving out food,trash bags, dog food,
all the things that they need.
One of our core values isthat unity builds community
and that's what we'rehere as a church to do.
- But when you have churches like this,
that step up their game to another level
and help all these people,that's a blessing of God
for this church to be doing this.
- [Reporter] Thanks tothe prayers and support
of Operation Blessing donors,
families in Lake Charleswere able to get the food
and supplies they needed
to take their first steps toward recovery.
- We are so blessed tobe here as a church,
doing what Jesus would want us to do.
- Y'all are a godsend.
Y'all are doing God's work.
- It means a lot.
It really does.
- Thank you Operation Blessing.
Thank you every partner thatsows, that gives, that cares.
You absolutely are the heart of Jesus.
I believe that.
And we feel it right herein southwest Louisiana
and Christian World, wewant you to know, thank you,
we love you.

Well, up next, what do you get
when you cross a bird,a bunny, and a Bronco?
You get a party to remember.
Tim Tebow takes us inside the pages
of his newest children's book.
And then pain-free after30 agonizing years.
One woman touches her lower back
and feels warm aircoursing through her body.
How did this miracle happen?
She'll tell you herself,later on today's show.
(light music)
Tim Tebow is a two-timecollege football national champ
and every year he makesspecial needs children feel
like they're the real Heisman winners.
His Night to Shine events had100,000 attendees last year.
Now, Tebow is throwing adifferent kind of party
and this one involves a Bronco.
- [Reporter] Well known asa former NFL quarterback,
sports commentator, and amember of the New York Mets,
Tim Tebow is just as well known
for his strong Christian faith and values.
Through his vast philanthropicwork around the world,
he communicates this belief.
- That we were created inlove, by love, for love.
That we are unique, that we are special,
and that makes you wonderful.
- [Reporter] It's thatmessage that Tim is sending
to kids everywhere in hisfirst children's book,
"Bronco and Friends, A Party to Remember,"
telling them that every person
has great worth and havingchallenges doesn't change that.
- Tim Tebow joins us now via Skype.
Tim, welcome to "The 700 Club."
Welcome back I should say.
- Thank you so much for having me.
I really appreciate it.
- Absolutely. Well, we just mentioned
your Night to Shine eventcoming up next week.
What can you tell usabout this year's event?
- Well, Night to Shine istruly my favorite night
of the year.
It's actually what actuallybrought me and my wife together
so it's special for us in so many ways.
And you know what?
In a year where so much has been canceled,
we couldn't cancel Night to Shine
because we know that hundreds of thousands
of people love it, look forward to it
and I look forward to it andwe just couldn't cancel it,
but we also couldn't putanybody at risk with COVID-19.
So, we worked so hard and we adapted it
to where we're actuallyhaving shine throughs
which is like a Night toShine drive through parade
because the red carpet isso important in our society
and kids will walk down red carpets
and have fake paparazzis andit's so exciting for them
and red carpet signifies VIP,very important work value,
and a lot of times in our society,
those people are actresses,and singers, and athletes,
but on Night to Shineit's every single one
of our kings and queens.
So, instead of walking downa red carpet this year,
there'll be driving over red carpets
on Shine Through in the parade
and being celebrated the entire time.
But then, they all get to go home
and have Night to Shine virtual.
And we're so excited about that
'cause we have so many special guests,
and dancing, and then ultimatelythe crowning at the end
for every single oneof our kings and queens
because we want them to knowjust how valuable they are,
just how much worth they have,
that they truly are a king ora queen, not just in our eyes,
but in God's eyes every day.
- Amen.
Well, Tim, in addition to working
with special needs children,
your foundation works toend human trafficking.
What are some of theways you're doing that?
- Well, we do it in three main ways.
Number one is we believein strong families
and if we have can supportfamilies in their time of need,
then a lot of times theymight not make the choice
to sell their daughter, to sell their son,
because as horrible as that is,
there's a huge percentage of trafficking
that actually comes fromfamiliar trafficking
where families sell membersof their own family.
So, number one, it's tosupport strong families.
Number two, it's rescue.
You know, wherever they'reat, here in the states,
or abroad in different countries.
If they're trafficked,we wanna rescue them.
We have partnered withso many organizations
to rescue their girlsin their time of need.
And number three, islong-term restoration.
It is with our safe homes,with our teams of, you know,
with our people that absolutelyhave given their lives
to loving and supporting girls and being
with them every step ofthe way, no matter what,
because we're not justgonna rescue them and say,
"Okay, you're on your own."
No, we're gonna rescue them
and we're gonna be withthem every step of the way.
It's actually really exciting.
A couple weeks ago we had a celebration
for some of our girls andwe call it a celebration,
not a graduation, because the graduation
kind of means you're moving on.
And so, we had a celebrationand it was so exciting
'cause one of the girlsis starting seminary,
another one just got an awesome job,
another one's finishing school.
And so, we just wanna bethere for longterm restoration
as long as it takes, however it takes.
And we just believe thatthat our God is one of hope
and healing and like ourmission statement says,
to bring faith, hope, and love
to those needing a brighter day
in their darkest hour of need.
- Wow. That is so incredible.
Tim, you've written a new children's book.
We're gonna talk about that in a second,
but let's talk aboutyour own childhood first.
You spent your first few years
in the Philippines asthe son of missionaries.
What impact did that have on you?
- I think it had a huge impact.
I think it had a huge impact because I got
to see my parents loveand serve so many people.
I got to be part of aculture that I love so much
in the Philippines, butit wasn't just that time.
There was also, I can't even tell you,
I really don't even know howmany times I've been back.
It's more than I can really count.
And so, being able go back tothe Philippines so many times,
but also have the chance to get to dozens
of countries around the worldand see different cultures
and what that does is multiple things.
One, it makes you realizehow blessed you are
and what we have here in America,
so many times we take for granted.
Two, it makes you see real hurt
and real poverty around the world.
And yes, we have some ofthat here in the states,
but you also see it onmass levels overseas.
You literally see throw away kids.
That's where my life got changed
was when I was in thejungles of the Philippines.
and I met a boy who was literally viewed
as the curse boy, the throw away kid.
And I just knew, Godpricked my heart that day
because no one's a throw away kid to God.
No one's a cursed boy to God.
And that changed my lifeto what really inspired me
to wanna start the Tim Tebow Foundation
because I fell in love with that boy.
I wanted to fight for every single boy
or girl that was known as a throwaway,
or cursed, or less-thankid, because I don't believe
that God created anyone that is cursed,
or less than, or insignificant.
- Well, Tim, what can you tell us
about, Bronco, his friends,
and this, "The Party to Remember?"
- Well, I can tell you that this book
is so near and dear to my heart
because I remember when I was a boy
and my parents would read to me
and I remember the impact that it had
'cause I would go tosleep and I would think
about whatever it isthey would read to me.
And sometimes it would be areally happy, joy filled book.
And sometimes it wouldbe more truth filled.
And I thought, man, youknow what would be awesome
if I could merge the two.
If I could have a book really come to life
with a lot of fun and joy,
but then also sharereally nuggets of truth
that kids can hold onto.
And so, really what I wantedto do is I wanted to share
about every single person's work
and their value and their meaning.
And so, we did that by telling the story
of these animals workingtogether to try to go
to this extravagant partyand this party, to go to it,
you have to have a special puzzle piece
and it's gotta be your puzzle piece
and everybody has one,but you have to find it.
And it's amazing.
These animals on this journey,
they find their puzzle piece actually
by helping one another.
And isn't that true in life?
That we find our purpose
by helping one another so many times?
But, then all of them have a puzzle piece
and at the end they get to put their piece
in the grand puzzle and Ibelieve every single one of us
in the grand scheme of life,
we have a piece to playin God's big puzzle.
And we have purpose in that.
We have meaning in that.
And sometimes we don'talways like our puzzle piece
and sometimes we love it,but we have a puzzle piece.
It is part of God's big design.
And we gotta remember that a lot of times
in finding our purpose,
it's in helping other peoplefind theirs along the way,
'cause it's not about that one day
when we get to the party,it's about every day
and helping the people we comein contact with every day.
- Because you might be the puzzle piece
that's missing, right?
That's the whole point of the book.
- That's exactly right.
That's exactly right.
I love the footnote at the very end.
"You are unique, you arespecial, and you are wonderful."
What a great message to little ones.
Tim, thank you so much for writing it.
I really enjoyed it.
The book is called,
"Bronco and Friends, A Party to Remember."
It's available in stores nationwide.
Tim Tebow, God blessyou and your new wife.
We know you're still newlyweds.
She's so beautiful.
We're so happy for you.
God bless you in all that you're doing.
- God bless you.
Thank you so much for having me.
I appreciate it andappreciate what you do.
Thank you so much.- Absolutely.
Our pleasure.
Thanks, Pat?
- Great athlete.

- Like heavy bricks on her lower back.
That's the kind of excruciating pain
that Edna Calhoun enduredfor an amazing 30 years.
Edna saw doctors.
She took medication andher pain got only worse.
So, what did she do
when she couldn't takethe agony any longer?
Well, here's the answer.
- [Reporter] Newly retiredcustomer service rep,
Edna Calhoun, is makingthe most of her free time.
- I love to get out and go places.
I used to get togetherwith some of the girls.
I played like spades.
We had spade night, Fridayor Saturday night do that.
And loving my grandchildren.
I got two grandchildren.
- [Reporter] For years though,
Edna couldn't even enjoythe simple things in life.
In 1987, she beganexperiencing sharp back pain,
following a string of car accidents.
- Oh, dealing with these chronic pains.
You know, especially if I sit down
for a long period of time.
It's just that pain in my lower back.
- [Reporter] Edna saw achiropractor and physical therapist.
They suggested exercises to help.
Her doctor prescribed painrelievers and muscle relaxers.
However, as the years wentby, the pain only got worse.
- Oh my God, the pain feltlike bricks heavy on my lower.
It wasn't my side or anything.
It was just that lower back,right above the tailbone.
And I couldn't get thatexcruciating pain to go nowhere.
I put the hot pads on it.
I put the cold pads on it.
And then, you know, I had tolay in the bed a certain way.
Then when I had to lay on my side.
I had to put like a pillow thathad an arch for me to sleep.
- [Reporter] Whether it was at work
where she had to sit forlong hours or at home,
Edna was in constant pain for 30 years.
Often she prayed.
- It was just like, Lord, come on.
I can't take this pain,but I had to endure it.
- [Reporter] Over theyears, Edna often turned
to "The 700 Club" for encouragement.
She was watching on September 1st, 2020,
when the hosts began praying.
- Somebody, you have lower back pain
that has just plagued you for years
and God is healing you rightnow, today is your day.
Just receive it.
You are healed and that painwill not be there anymore
in Jesus' name.
- And I sat up, I said, "That's me.
They talking about me."
And I point my hand toward the TV,
touched the lower of my backand I felt like a warmth of,
I mean, I mean, fresh air.
I don't know where that came from,
but it was felt like a warmthwent down my lower back
and like at my lower back
I felt like somethingwent across my lower back.
Like it went away.
And then I said, "Waita minute, is this real?"
I wasn't for sure.
You know, I said, "Oh, thisis just a little fluke.
It probably gonna be hurting,you know, the next day."
And the next day I wokeup, oh, it's not here.
I was so happy and I wasjust telling everybody.
- [Reporter] Today sheis active as she can be,
enjoying retirementand her granddaughters.
Thankful to God for healing.
- [Edna] That God is real.
He, you know, He hears your cry.
He hears your prayer.
Just trust Him.
Just believe Him.
- "Hitherto you've askednothing in my name," Jesus said,
"Ask, and you shall receivethat your joy might be full."
Here's somebody whose name is Pharez.
He sent an email and he said,
"I was watching 'The 700 Club,'
and Terry spoke a word of knowledge.
'There's somebody watching,and you feel like pins
on the sole of your feet.
Now God has decided to removethat discomfort permanently.'
I claimed it, immediately God healed me.
And I thank you and praythat God will keep you
and Terry as He anointsyou in his great power!"
What do you have?
- Oh here's one.
"Rosemarie of Castro Valley, California
went through the ordeal ofhaving her hip replaced in 2018,
but the pain persisted.
She learned to live with the chronic pain.
But while watching "The 700Club," she heard you say, Pat,
'Someone, your hip isn't quite sitting
the way it's supposed to be.
Your hip will be healedalmost from this moment,
you are healed.'
By faith, Rosemarie believed it
and the pain left immediately."
- All right, folks, youknow, God loves you.
And with God, it's so easy.
I mean, God made you and He's got,
all the power is given untoHim in heaven and earth.
Now, Terry, I mean, Wendy and I
are gonna join hands together
and we're gonna believe God for you.
And what I want you to dowith this moment is say,
"Okay, I receive it."
And if you will do that,
the God of the universewill act on your behalf.
So, we're gonna believe God for you.
Father, all over this audiencethere are people suffering.

There are people who have lost loved ones.
There are people who are crying out to God

Somebody is here for you, Wendy?
- Amen. All right, up next it's time
for another round of your questions.
Honest answers from Pat.
Jeri writes, "I believeconfessions of sin are personal,
not read together ascongressional confession.
How do you feel about that?"
What will Pat say?
Find out right after this.
(light music)
Welcome back to "The 700 Club."
It's time for your questions.
Honest answers from Pat.
Jeri has this question for Pat.
She says, "I go to achurch in our little town
and we read long passages
in our bulletin that are confessions.
I believe confessions of sin are personal
and not read together as acongregational confession.
Pat, how do you feel about that?"
- I totally agree with you.
I just don't think you wouldneed to broadcast your sins
throughout your congregationor throughout your town.
You know, if you sin,you sin against the Lord
and you ask His forgiveness,
but we're talking about confessyour sins to one another
that you might be healed.
But, I think that's not the same thing.
And I would not say that's the smart thing
for a church to do.
- Amen. Ian says, "If you are a Christian,
is it wrong to have Buddhas," Pat?
- Well, look, you know,I heard a long time ago
about somebody who bought aparticular piece of jewelry
and it turned out the person who made it
had put a curse on it before it was sold.
And this person was terribly sick.
They had terrible sickness on an airplane
and they finally realized what it was
and that curse was there.
I don't think you outta have statues
of Buddha or anybody in your house.
I really don't.
Buddha was a man.
He wasn't a God, but nevertheless,
they attach spiritual power to him
and the whole religion about Buddhism.
So the answer, is it wrong?
I think it's very foolish.
- I do too.
All right, here's Michael,
"Pat, these few verseshave always puzzled me:
Romans 8:19 through 21 NIV version,
'For the creation waitsin eager expectation
for the children of God to be revealed
in hope that the creationitself will be liberated
from its bondage to decayand brought into the freedom
and glory of the children of God.'
What is this glorious eventinvolving the children of God?
And when will it take place?"
- Well, Paul could have been talking
about the time when the Lord comes back
and the church is revealed andthe power of God is revealed.
But also, when the churchmoves into its real power
and what we're seeing in today's world,
extraordinary things, Ibelieve the creation is waiting
for the people of Godto take their authority.
Jesus said, "All authorityin heaven and earth
has been given unto me,go and teach all nations."
And I think the nations arewaiting for the children of God.
And so, Paul was talkingabout, he may have been talking
about the coming of the Lord,the appearance of the Lord.
That's one thing.
But, I think there's somethingthat has to do with us today.
And the creation is yearning.
He's still under bondage,under a curse of sin,
waiting for God's peopleto begin to speak the word
and to take their authority
and to exercise dominion over the earth.
That's what you, in the early days,
God gave man dominion over the earth
and we need to take it, all right?
- Here's Margaret.
She says, "I do notunderstand how it is right
to give tithes and offerings
and then take it off on tax returns.
How is this biblical?"
- Well, look in the Old Testament.
They didn't have, it says,
"Bring all your tithes into the storehouse
that you might be blessed,"
but they didn't have an internal revenue.
But actually, the tithingwas used to pay the bills
for the nation.
So, there's nothing in the world wrong
with having a nation- Deductions.
- which says, "Look, we thinkthat in the private sector,
if you have hospitals and you have schools
and you have religious instruction
and you have humanitarian work
and so forth in the private sector,
we'll let you take that off
the money you've paid the government."
There's nothing wrong with that, okay?
- Okay.
That made a lot of people happy.
- I don't think manypeople would feel guilty
about taking a deductionoff their taxes, all right?
- I know, well, here's Lee.
"My mourning from the death of my fiance
has been since 2016.
How long is the grievingprocess supposed to last?
- Well, I don't think there's any set rule
for how long you've gotta grieve,
but I think, for example,
a person who's had a happymarriage and their spouse dies,
the spouse who's goneon would be very happy
if the remaining spouse wasable to find another partner
who would give them thesame happiness and joy.
So, I don't think you have tosit around grieving forever.
I mean, when people die,they're with the Lord
or they're with wherever they're gonna go.
I don't think there's noset time that I know of.
It's just in your own mind,but I wouldn't make it too long
if I were you.
- Four years is a long time.
- I think four years is ridiculous, okay?
- God bless you.
- Well, today's PowerMinute comes from Psalms,
"Leave all your cares and anxieties
at the feet of the Lord,
and measureless gracewill strengthen you."
Well tomorrow, the formerhost of "Fox and Friends,"
Elisabeth Hasselbeck, tellsus what's helping her family
get through the pandemic.
So, for Wendy and all ofus, this is Pat Robertson.
Thank you so much for beingwith us and Lord willing,
we'll see you tomorrow.
Bye-bye
