- [Narrator] The followingprogram is sponsored by CBN.
- [Reporter] Coming up.
- I heard the squeal of a car.
- [Reporter] A young womanis run over by her ex.
- [Eddie] The SUVabsolutely plowed into her.
- [Reporter] And left bleeding and broken
in the parking lot.
- [Eddie] I could notprocess what I was seeing
because you're not supposedto see things like that.
- [Reporter] How did she survive?
- At that point, there wasabsolutely nothing else
I could do.
- [Reporter] And emergestronger than before.
- That's a miracle, that's God.
- [Reporter] On today's 700 Club.
(upbeat music)
- Welcome to The 700 Cluband thanks for joining us.
Our first story is allabout the empty shelves
that we're all seeing in stores.
Record breaking backlogs at our ports
and a severe shortage of truck drivers.
The breakdown in our supplychain is hurting the economy.
- And if you haven't already,
you're about to feel thepinch in your wallet.
So, what steps is the White House taking
to break the log jam?
Senior Washington correspondentTara Mergener explains.
- The White House andbusinesses from coast to coast
are warning the supplyheadaches will get even worse
as the holidays approachand demand gets higher.
And this year, prices will,no doubt, be higher, too.
To help get things moving again,
the president says he'sbrokered an agreement
for the Port of Los Angeles to become
a 24 hour, 7 days a week operation.
- You're hearing a lot aboutsomething called supply chains
and how hard it is toget a range of things,
from a toaster to sneakers to bicycles.
- [Tara] Big retailersand shipping companies
are also pledging to expand their hours.
President Biden meeting withWalmart, UPS and Home Depot.
- This is the first key step for moving
our entire freight transportation
and logistical supply chainnationwide to a 24/7 system.
- [Tara] L.A. and Long Beach Ports
account for 40% of shipping containers
that enter the U.S., both suffering
from record breaking backlogs.
- What happens with therailroads in the Midwest
and warehouses across the country
affects the number ofships that everyone sees
out here in the harbor.
- [Tara] High consumerdemand, plus a shortage
of truck drivers.
- We're about three hours late.
- [Tara] All this isjacking up shipping costs.
- A year ago, it cost$1,900 to use a container,
now it's costing $16,000because they're using
the container for storageon the ships in the ports.
- [Tara] And adding up to higher prices
at the checkout line.
- [Dan] They're passing all these expenses
on to the consumer.
They have no choice.
So, we haven't even begunto see the inflation
that is gonna come from all of this.
- [Tara] Factory workers andother supply chain issues
are also keeping manyitems off store shelves,
with shortages expected tocontinue through the holidays.
- To keep the shelvesfull, we have to order
eight weeks in advance,eight to six weeks.
- Basically, what I'vebeen telling people to do
is start shopping early,even before Halloween.
- [Tara] But, the Treasurysecretary is telling Americans
not to panic.
- I think there's not reason for consumers
to panic about the absence of goods
that they're gonna wantto acquire at Christmas.
- The latest inflation reading shows
it edged up again last month to 5.4%,
with the biggest increasesin food, shelter and gas.
Now, according to a Bankrate survey,
89% of Americans nownotice these higher prices
at the cash register and 66% say
they are hurtingfinancially because of them.
In Washington, I'm TaraMergener, CBN News.
- Well, there's nothing quite like
a member of our government, and this one
at a federal reserve,telling us not to panic,
it just induces panic when you hear that
come out of her mouth.
It, we, this is unbelievablewhat's happening
in our economy.
And it's not just the goods in the store
and it's not just the empty shelves,
it's not just the supply chain,
if you go to the gas station today,
get ready for some sticker shock
and I've got some bad news for you
if you depend on natural gas for heating,
get to, be prepared topay a lot higher rate
coming into this winter.
Natural gas prices haveincreased 100% since January.
So, that's a doubling and it seems like
there's more to come.
It's good news the administration
is paying attention to it,but is it too little too late?
And how can you get ridof this kind of backlog
and how does the federalgovernment induce people
to drive trucks and dealwith supply chain issues?
This is a really incrediblesituation we're in
and get ready for more inflation.
In other news, is it safe and effective
to mix and match COVID vaccines?
A new study suggests itis, with some boosters
more effective than others.
John Jessup has more on that story
from our CBN News bureau in Washington.
John.
- That's right, Gordon,as you were just saying,
a new study from theNational Institutes of Health
says mixing and matching vaccines
does appear to be safe and effective.
So, they suggest that those who received
the Johnson and Johnson vaccine
benefited more from boostersmade by Pfizer and Moderna.
It also found those whowere vaccinated with Pfizer
or Moderna vaccines and tookboosters from other companies
still showed a strong immune response.
Officials caution, though, the study,
which is yet to be peer reviewed,
is based on a small sample size.
An FDA panel meeting today and tomorrow
will consider authorization of boosters
for both J and J and Moderna.
Well, here in Washington,Israeli foreign minister,
Yair Lapid, met with secretary of state,
Antony Blinken, Wednesday,his top priority,
the ongoing threat from Iran.
- Every delay in negotiationsbrings Iran closer
to a nuclear bomb.
The Iranians are clearlydragging their heels,
trying to cheat the world tocontinue to enrich uranium
to develop theirballistic missile program.
If a terror regime is goingto acquire a nuclear weapon,
we must act, we must make clear
that the civilized world won't allow it.
- Now, Israel disagrees withthe Biden Administration's
efforts to restart nuclearnegotiations with Iran,
but Lapid says Israel's security
is something both nationsview as a top priority.
The two diplomats also discussed progress
in the Abraham Accords signed last year.
Well, one year afterthose accords were signed,
Israel's Knesset is moving to make sure
those agreements survive the test of time.
CBN's Chris Mitchellreports from Jerusalem.
- The establishment here at the Knesset
of the Abraham Accordscaucus is the next step
in solidifying the relationship
between Israel and herSunni-Arab neighbors.
Caucus co-chair, Ruth Wasserman Lande,
says leaders acrossIsrael's political spectrum
are uniting behind the accords.
- And as you could see, you had people
from former government,current government,
the fact that this is areal national interest
of the country and of the region
and I pray to God thatthis is just the beginning.
- Bahrain's ambassadorshared his country's support
for expanding and protecting the accords.
- It can become themechanism that enables us,
despite the differences,to put our hands together
and work towards one goal,a safer, more prosperous
and secure Middle East.
- [Chris] The event brought together
many architects of the accords,
like Jared Kushner, whosays the peace agreements
have started a ripple effect.
- It's spreadingthroughout the Middle East,
it's spreading throughout the world.
Muslims in Indonesia,Muslims in Saudi Arabia,
Muslims in Malaysia, Muslims in Pakistan,
they're seeing that Israel is not
what they've been toldit is and they're seeing
that Israelis are welcomingtheir Muslim brothers
and they're seeing that there is a lot
that we could be doing together.
- [Chris] This Bahrainishares a unique perspective
after working with Israelis.
- This is my first visit, butit's not my first interaction
with Israeli people.
I'm a humanitarian, so I doa lot of work internationally
and luckily enough, I had the pleasure
to meet a lot of Israelis around the world
who are volunteering with me, as well,
and to me, they're great people.
- [Chris] U.S.representatives pledge support
to advance the accords.
- The Biden Administrationnow continues working
to expand normalization efforts
into deep in Israel'sexisting relationships
and to bring new countries into the fold.
- [Chris] Former primeminister, Benjamin Netanyahu,
credited the Trump Administration
for changing policy towardsIsrael and Arab leaders.
- They understood now thatthe road to Washington
passed not through Ramallah,but through Jerusalem
because that was the American policy.
They said if you wanteven better relations
with the United States,then make peace with Israel.
So, the change in Americanpolicy was critical.
I have to say that without it,
you know, you could bake thecake, but you can't finish it.
You can't put the topping on it
without this crucial change.
- [Chris] Netanyahu added while Israel
and the Sunni-Arab nationsface a common enemy,
he's optimistic about the future.
- I believe that if we continueto move in this direction
and if we don't fallinto yesterday's traps
and the failed policies of the past,
our grandchildren willlook back at this moment
and say that the peace of Abraham
brought the sons of Abraham together.
- [Chris] Chris Mitchell, CBNNews, the Knesset, Jerusalem.
- Thank you, Chris.
Gordon, it is amazing to witness
this undeniable reshapingof the Middle East.
- Well, it actually has gone against
what our own State Department was saying
for a very long period of time.
And I have to congratulateAmbassador David Freedman,
I think he was one ofthe principle architects
of this wonderful Abraham Accord
and also, the transfer of our embassy
from outside Tel Aviv to Jerusalem,
something that the foreignpolicy establishment said
was never going to happen.
Let's go back to the ClintonAdministration, 1996,
that's when Congresspassed a law mandating
that the U.S. embassy be in Jerusalem.
But it had an out within the law
that if the administration thought,
for security concerns, itwasn't advisable to do it,
you could kick the can down the road.
Well, Clinton kicked thecan, Bush kicked the can,
every president since kicked the can
and then finally, underTrump, the embassy moved.
Now, the prediction fromthe so-called experts
was there would be an eruption,
that there would be bloodshed,
there would be all these riots
and the whole Middle East wouldgo up in flames, all this.
None of that happened.
The same thing with the Abraham Accords.
John Kerry, our secretary of state,
said you cannot have piecemeal peace,
you have to first solvethe Palestinian question
and then you can brokerpeace with the other nations.
Well, the Trump Administrationturned all of that around
with the Abraham Accordsand now we're seeing
the fruit of it and it's wonderful to see.
If you think peace with thePalestinians is possible,
please think again.
They've been offered a stateand every single peace deal
since 1948 and they'venever missed an opportunity
to miss an opportunity.
They have no intention of establishing
a separate Palestinian state.
Their every intention, theirevery statement since 1948
has been to drive the Jews into the sea
to abolish the state of Israel.
Let's take them at their word and in that,
isolate them from theinternational community.
Israel has a right to existand let's stand with her
in that right.
Well, coming up, runover by her ex-boyfriend,
this young woman was left broken
and barely breathing.
Why were doctors stunnedthat she survived?
And who would this former bodybuilder,
would she ever walk again?
Then ahead, it's the mostmisunderstood country
in the world.
An actress turned author is out
to set the record straight on Israel.
Noa Tishby reveals the realstory of the Jewish state
after this.
(upbeat music)
Israel stands alone as theworld's only Jewish state
and the lone democracy in a sea
of Middle East dictatorships.
It's also the mostmisunderstood country on Earth,
according to Noa Tishby.
This actress, now turned author,
is on a personal mission tospread the truth about Israel
around the globe.
Take a look.
- [Narrator] While not wellknown by American audiences,
actress, producer and activist Noa Tishby
is a household name in her homeland.
Born and raised in TelAviv, Noa got her start
in the Israeli entertainmentindustry as a teenager.
Over the years, she's appeared in many
of Israel's leading TV, film,theater and ad campaigns.
When she moved to Hollywood, however,
Noa realized most peopleshe encountered in America
knew little about Israel'shistory and culture.
Others she met held misconceptionsabout the Jewish state.
To set the record straight,Noa has written a book,
"Israel: A Simple Guide ToThe Most Misunderstood Country
On Earth".
- Well, Noa joins us now.
Welcome to The 700 Club.
- Thank you so much,I'm so happy to be here.
- Tell us about your experience in L.A.
Here you go from trying to make it
in the entertainment industry in Tel Aviv
and then you get told this wonderful,
you know, if you want to make wine,
you need to be in France,if you want to make movies,
you need to be in L.A.- Oh, thank you, yes.
- So, you moved to L.A. andyou now discover something
that you weren't ready for.
- Yeah, so, I started my career
in the entertainment industryin Israel at a very young age
and was very blessed and hadgreat success over there.
- [Gordon] Age 12.
- Yeah, or eight, dependson when you start counting.
- Oh, okay.
And your parents didn't know?- started doing commercials.
My parents didn't know, but I always say
that if you have achild who has a calling,
you can't stop thatchild, so they were very,
they were just like, "Okay, go ahead
and do what you want to do,"
so I started my career inthe entertainment industry
and was very self-centered in that way
and didn't think much aboutIsrael or the Jewish people
or what does that meanspiritually to be Jewish
and to be an Israeli.
And then I moved to LosAngeles, I did great in Israel
in entertainment, moved to Los Angeles
to pursue my career in entertainment
and then I started encountering
the severe misunderstandings about Israel.
And I come from a political family,
so my mom always jokesthat my DNA kicked in,
and I found myself in this position
of explaining to people about Israel
and telling them, like, "No, no, no, no,
it's not, okay, Hamas isnot actually Hezbollah
and there's, you know,here are the borders,
this is what happened," and I found myself
in this position of explaining to people
what Israel's about andthroughout the years,
took it professionally andthen I wrote this book.
And the reason I wrote this book
is because Israel's safety and security,
it's not a Jewish people issue,
it's not an Israeli people issue,
it's a U.S. national security issue
and Western civilization issue.
So, as I'm sure you know anda lot of your viewers know,
Israel's a stabilizingforce within the Middle East
and there's no negating theindigenous justification,
the moral justification,the historical justification
of the existence of the state of Israel
in the land of Israel andI just couldn't sit still
and watch people not knowwhat they're talking about
while having a lot of opinionsabout it, which is the worst.
Like, if you don't know anythingabout it, just don't talk.
And I just had to do something about it,
so I wrote this book.
- L.A. also awakened a new desire
to learn more about your Jewish heritage.
- [Noa] Yeah, it did.
- 'Cause you were raised secular.
- [Noa] I was, I was.
- And it was getting a phone call,
"We're celebrating Rosh Hashanah,"
if I'm pronouncing that correctly and you-
- You read the book.
- Yeah, I did.- This is great.
- And why?
Why did L.A. start that in you?
- I think that once youtake a fish out of water,
they start realizing whatthe water actually was.
So, the story is that I was, you know,
or you move the fish to another fishbowl
and they kind of look and go,
"Oh, there's anotherfishbowl there," right?
I was in L.A. a few months and I was,
I got a phone call onemorning from my family
and they all went, "Happy holidays,"
and I went, "Okay, happyholidays, what holiday is it?"
And they said, "Oh, it's Rosh Hashanah,"
and I completely forgotthat it was Rosh Hashanah
and my heart sank.
And I, what it broughtme to is to reexamine
what it means to be Jewish.
What is the spiritual teaching
that the Jewish people have been given
and what is my responsibilityif I don't live in Israel
and I don't have it kind ofsurrounded, you know, everyday
and not celebrating Rosh Hashanah
'cause everybody iscelebrating Rosh Hashanah.
If I live out of Israel, whatdoes that mean to be Jewish?
What is the spiritual calling?
What is the responsibilitythat I have as a human being
to pass this information onwards?
And it was a great place tostart as a secular person
because I looked at it from kind of like
a spiritual point of view,a scientific point of view,
a family oriented point of view
and I found a lot ofincredibly inspiring answers
through this journey, which brought me
to this book, as well.
- One of the things I've noticed,
even with the, within thesecular community of Israel,
which is pronouncedparticularly in Tel Aviv,
that they all universallybuy into the thought
that Israel is to bea light to the nation.
- [Noa] Yeah.
- Why is that?
- I think that one of themost powerful mandates
that Jewish peoplehave, and it's something
that's in you, whether you'resecular or super religious,
is the mandate of tikkun olam.
So, making the world a better place
is something that is kind of ingrained
in Jewish culture in a way.
In a lot of other cultures,as well, obviously.
But, that is something that Ibelieve the people in Israel
do feel that responsibility.
Like, we need to striveto be just a little better
and just, you know, make the world better
and this is very apparent by, for example,
the amount of start-up companies
and academic papers and, you know,
- The incredible blessing.- all these things that, yeah,
that Israel contributes to the world,
which is completelydisproportionate to its size.
So, definitely punching above its weight.
- Well, the amount ofhumanitarian work Israelis do
and volunteer for on a regular basis
and go to, like, 130 countriesto provide humanitarian aid,
- There's an amazing company-- they're definitely,
you know, a country the size of New Jersey
doing that much humanitarianwork is really surprising.
Let me turn to the real meat of your book
and I'm really applaudyou for digging into
the boycott, divestment, sanction movement
and following the money on that.
- Yeah, yeah.
- So, here you have acountry whose very ideology,
if you will, is we're tobe a light to the nations
and now they're being accused
of being an apartheid state of oppression,
- Genocide,- Things that are-
yeah, all of these things.- ethnic cleansing.
- What's the origin of that?
- So, this is a little,a little complicated,
but I go in-depth into this in the book,
into, in my book in a movementcalled the BDS movement,
which is, stands for boycott,divestment and sanctions,
which is a movement that'strying to brand Israel
an apartheid state.
Obviously, all the facts negate that.
This originated over 20 years ago
in the Durban Conference Against Racism,
which was so anti-Semitic thatthe United States and Israel
actually pulled-- Walked out.
- Yeah, walked out, exactly.
- [Gordon] And refuse toparticipate to this day.
- Yeah, yeah, obviously.
So, this is where thislanguage originated.
Now, here's the thing to understand,
Israel's enemies havetried to destroy her,
first, with military with other countries,
then with terrorism, with,you know, terrorist attacks
and airplanes attacks.
Both of these didn't work.
And then they shifted their tactics
from actual attacking the country
to what I call in the book aslow moving terrorist attack,
which is delegitimizingIsrael's right to exist
as the homeland of the Jewish people.
And they came up with this language
trying to shake the foundationof Israel's legitimacy.
And I would venture tosay that they succeeded
beyond their belief at this point,
but I'm here to fight it.
So, I would be verycautious if I'm a parent
about a movement called BDS Movement
and what they do to ourkids on college campuses
because they're hiding-
- Well, why have theytargeted the college campuses?
- Because-- Because they seem to be
- Yes, absolutely.- enormously successful,
- Yeah.- to my absolute amazement.
Yale University, their student government
passed a resolution supporting BDS.
- There are so manycampuses in which they,
what they did is basically, they concluded
that young Americans are naive
and they shifted theirwork to college campuses
and they descend on college campuses in,
around voting season.
And their intention, it's noteven to pass the resolution,
because who cares if university passes
this or that resolution, right?
It's about creating that resolution
and that vote to beginwith to become legitimate,
such that the college kidsthen walk out to the real world
and go, "Oh, we votedagainst it on college,
we can vote against it on, in city council
or in the elections."
So, that's what they're doing.
They're funded by really bad people
that needs to be investigatedby the authorities.
- Well, how do they get that funding?
'Cause when you talk aboutevery single college campus
in the United States and you'retrying to change the minds
of the future leaders of America,
that's the intent, that'swhat they're trying to do,
you can't do that ona long sustained basis
without a ton of money, we'renot talking a little bit,
we're talking a lot.
How are they getting that funded?
- I would encouragepeople to read my book.
I go down a rabbit hole on this.
There's a full-on chapter about BDS.
There are also congressional hearings
by a man called Jonathan Chasner,
who is a terrorism finance expert,
who did a very big, long diveinto the sources of funding.
This is something that the authorities-
- [Gordon] He's a formertreasury official.
- Yes, he is and a-
- [Gordon] And he was taskedwith finding terror money
- Yup, yup.- and tracking it
as a forensic accountant.- Exactly, exactly.
And he has been calling forFBI and IRS investigation
for a very long time.
So, I hope to amplify his voice
and voices like that toactually take this on
because this is, this is dangerous, again,
for national security of the United States
and for Western civilizationand everything we stand for.
- All right, I've gotta askbecause it's really bugging me,
how is BDS infiltrating theJewish community in America?
Ben and Jerry's wasfounded by two Jewish men
and they're now saying,"We're no longer going to
sell ice cream in the West Bank,"
and they're saying, "Wecan't be anti-Semitic
because we're Jewish."
How in the world did that happen?
- I believe that Ben and Jerry themselves
are definitely not anti-Semites,but what they're doing
is unknowingly working for anti-Semites
and actually fulfilling on their wishes.
So, here's the thing with BDS,
we live in a free country, anybody can say
what they want, okay?
BDS is hiding their intention.
So, BDS is a movement thatis after the dismantlement
of the state of Israel as a Jewish state,
period, end of story.
The founder doesn't hide it,their supporters and leaders
don't find it.
But what they do when they go to college,
they don't say, "Let'sdismantle a democratic state."
- Let's drive, drive Israel to deceive.
- They say, they talk aboutfreedom and justice, right?
That's what they talkabout and they dupe people
to support them, a lot of them, Jews,
who think that they're supporting
some sort of a governmentalpolicy, which we're all for,
we all love democracy, butthat's not what BDS is about.
BDS is about dismantling the Jewish state
and they should and need to be stopped.
- Do you have hope for peace in Israel?
- I definitely do?
- What gives you that hope?
- What gives me that isbeing on the ground in Israel
and living there and growing up there
and when you go to Israel,you see that coexistence
on the ground is way morepowerful and it's just,
it's kind of like a seamless thing.
We live through this all the time,
so we know how to live together in peace,
we know how to livetogether with our neighbors.
Israel is the fruit of a tree
that's roots are 3,500 years old
and I believe that thisis not going away anytime
and we have every possibilityto live together in peace
and we will, as we still do.
- And let me echo that as a Christian,
the only nation in the Middle East
with a Christian populationthat's actually growing
is Israel and you lookat what has happened
in the West Bank to a littletown called Bethlehem,
that when I first visited there in 1969
was 80% Christian, today, underthe Palestinian authority,
it's less than 20% Christian.
The Christians have been driven out.
- [Noa] Oh my God.
- So, you look at the BDSsaying it's an apartheid
and it's oppressive and it's a genocide,
just look at what happenedto the Jewish quarter
from 1948 to 1967, whereif you were Jewish,
you couldn't possibly stepfoot in the Jewish quarter,
it was illegal for you to do that.
And all the synagogues were destroyed
throughout the West Bank,so I'm with you on this.
- Thank you so much.- Anyway, we could talk
a long time, the book iscalled "Israel: A Simple Guide
To The Most MisunderstoodCountry On Earth".
There's a caution here,the language can sometimes
get a little salty, but that's okay.
It's available wherever books are sold.
So, Noa, thank you for being with us.
- Thank you so much for having me.
- Yeah.
All right, Terry, over to you.
- Well, still ahead, forcedto live in their garage
with a five gallon bucket for a bathroom.
This couple's home wasdestroyed on the inside
by a cat five hurricane.
How are they able to rebuild?
See for yourself.
That's coming up.
Plus, Mozambique, it's oneof the most dangerous places
on the planet.
So, why does this American missionary
continue to live there?
Heidi Baker will tellyou herself after this.
(lighthearted music)
- Burning homes and churches,butchering, beheading
and crucifying Christians.
In Mozambique, Heidi Baker lives and works
under the constant threat of terror.
So, why does she stay inthe middle of such evil?
Take a look.
- [Narrator] Missionary Heidi Baker
has served in Mozambique since 1995.
It's one of the poorestcountries on the planet.
And in recent years, oneof the most dangerous.
Despite lethal terroristattacks near her town,
Heidi continues to spreadthe truth of the gospel.
- I'm telling you, inthe midst of the tragedy,
God is doing the mostincredibly beautiful things.
- [Narrator] Co-founder ofthe humanitarian ministry,
Iris Global, Heidi plansto keep meeting needs
where God has called her.
- So, Heidi, tell us howdid you get to Mozambique
in the beginning?
What was the start for you?
- As a brand new baby believer,
a 16 year old brand new bornagain believer in Jesus,
I was fasting and praying,as the church was calling me
to fast and pray, and onthe fifth day of the fast,
I had an incredibleexperience with the lord
where I literally felt likeI heard his voice calling me
as a minister and a missionaryto Africa, Asia and England.
And after being in Asia 12 years
with my husband, Roland,in the UK for three years,
it was time for Africa andAfrica's this massive continent
and so, we were prayingagain, "Where in Africa?"
And Roland said, "They'reblowing up Red Cross trucks
in Mozambique," and immediately, I said,
"Perfect, we want to go there,that's where we want to go."
- Heidi, I look at the danger you're under
and I know for a lot ofpeople, they're saying,
"Can we evacuate Heidi out of this?"
Tell us why you want to stay in the middle
of some extreme danger.
- It's such, it's just such a joy to work
with this beautiful, generous, powerful,
anointed Mozambican team and this is
a lifelong calling for me.
We've been here, we'regoing on 29 years soon,
this is the greatest joy of our lives,
to be here for such a time as this.
There's nowhere in theworld that we'd rather be
than here in Northern Mozambique
with the people who have adopted us.
- For people watching rightnow, what can we do to help you?
What can we do to help the refugees
from Northern Mozambique?
- Well, we're feeding over32,000 people a meal a day,
so food aid is always amassive blessing for us,
but always, audio solar Bibles
for the people to receive an audio Bible
in their own local dialect.
So, if you can imagine, we're going out,
teams of 30 to 50 of us,99% national Mozambicans,
we're going to the camps,
the internally displaced people camps,
we're going to the communities
literally where peoplehave lost everything,
we're bringing them not onlyfood aid and farming kits,
but we're bringing the word of God
in their local dialect.
So, to be able to continue that is a joy.
The other thing is Iwant you all in America
to learn from theMozambican body of Christ.
They're the most extraordinarypeople I've ever seen
in terms of courage and generosity.
Our pastors, who have even had their own,
one of our pastors, a fourand half year old child of his
was beheaded and anotherone lost their home,
six churches burned to the ground,
the way these men and women live,
the first thing they do when others come
is they say, "Welcome,"and they just put them
in their yards and theyjust share their food
with the hungry andthey really are examples
for those in other parts of the world
that maybe are afraid of the shaking times
that are going on in the world
and the shaking that's evenabout to increase in the world
and what Mozambique Congos can teach you,
what Mozambicans can teach you,
and this is my prayer, is that you can
fix your eyes on Jesus.

- Pray that we would justgrow even closer to Jesus,
pray with our Mozambicanbrothers and sisters
that we would finish well and they knew
that I was going to do this program
and they asked for me to ask you to pray
that they would havecourage and that all of us
would finish well, thatwe would bring glory
to the lord with our littlelives laid down for his sake.
He is worthy of it all.

- After a hurricane hit,Kathy and Denis took one look
at their house.
It seemed as if, quote,"The walls were melting
and mold was everywhere."
Well, before long, their housewas torn down to the studs.
Insurance wouldn't cover the rebuild,
so Kathy and Denis hadto live in their garage.
- [Narrator] Shortly afterDenis and Kathy Dorman
moved to Florida to retire,category 5 Hurricane Michael
made landfall on the Florida Panhandle.
They evacuated and hadno idea what to expect
when they returned home.
- The walls were, lookedlike they were melting,
it just, like they werejust disintegrating.
- The house was destroyed from the inside.
The walls and the ceiling,everything had to come out.
Once we started findingmold, we thought maybe
it would be isolated, it wasn't.
The more we pulled, the more we found.
It all had to come out.
- [Narrator] Insurance covered removing
some of the infected drywall,but not doing the rebuild.
Denis had ongoing healthproblems that were getting worse.
It didn't help that they hadto move into their garage.
- We had to use the bathroomin a five gallon bucket.
I mean, that was what wehad, that was our bathroom.
But at our age, you really start to think,
"Lord, are we gonna have tospend the rest of our days
living in this garage?"
And my husband was reallydepressed at that time
because he knew he couldn't do anything
because of his health and thattook a toll on him, greatly.
- [Narrator] Denis decidedto talk to God about it.
I said, "Father, I can't do this."
"I can't fix this, I can't do it."
"Would you please do it?"
The impression that Ifelt in my spirit was,
"Okay, all you had to do was ask."
- [Narrator] Kathy and Denis didn't know
how they were going to recover,
but they continued to trust in God.
Inspired by their dedication and faith,
Pastor Cole of LighthouseChurch gave them a chance
to share their testimony.
- And God told me, "Trust me, trust me."
We never stopped tithingall through the hurricane,
loss of jobs, loss of health,we never stopped, we trusted.
So, that night, I went onlineand I posted my payment
to the church, my 10%,and what I had left over,
I paid what bills we could.
The next morning, I get a call.
Praise God.
- Hallelujah.- Amen.

We had hope.

donors and volunteers,our team removed the mold,

(upbeat music)
Squealing tires, a roaringengine and a black SUV
barreling through a parking lot
and running over a young woman.
Eddie Wilson was an eyewitnessto this brutal crime.
What's even worse, thevictim was Eddie's coworker
and friend.
- I had 911 on thephone and fully expected
to find a dead bodythere in the parking lot.
Her body was broken andbruised and just not laying
in a normal way.
I thought there's no way that anyone
would ever be able to get up and walk
from something like this ever again.
It was just the most traumatic thing
I've ever seen in my life.
- [Narrator] September 13, 2011,
Eddie Wilson was returningto work after a walk
on his lunch break.
As he approached the building,
something caught his attention.
I heard the squeal of a carover, you know, to the right
and I look over and there'sa big, huge black SUV
just squealing its tires and taking off
out of the parking lot.
- [Narrator] Just momentsearlier, inside the SUV,
his coworker, Whitney Wiser, just broke up
with her abusive boyfriend.
Now, as she walked away from his car,
he hit the gas and sped towards her.
And then the next thing I knew
is that the SUV absolutely plowed into her
and then I heard the sound and saw her
as she was underneaththe SUV and the tires
were going over her.
And at that point, I couldnot process what I was seeing
because you're not supposedto see things like that.
- [Narrator] Eddiecalled 911 as he ran down
to Whitney's broken bodylying on the pavement.
- You could tell that shewas in tremendous pain
and at that point, therewas absolutely nothing else
I could do, but to grabher hand and pray with her
right there on the spot.
- [Narrator] Whitney struggled to breathe
as she clung to life.
She had several severe injuries,
including a broken back and cracked ribs.
She was rushed toVanderbilt Medical Center.
Dr. RJ Harris was one of her physicians.
- I was on the way to seeher, looked at her chart
and I was really surprisedthat she was still alive
after reading what had happened.
She was in pretty bad shape.
- [Narrator] Meanwhile, Deanna Wall,
a pastor at Whitney's church,arrived at the hospital
to pray for her.
- I looked down on thegurney at a beautiful person,
who was battered, bleeding, broken.
I got down as close asI could and I told her,
I said, "Whitney, God'sgot plans for your life
and he's going to bring youthrough this, you hang on.
- [Narrator] Whitneyhad been a rising star
in body building competitions.
After her emergency spinal surgery,
it was unclear if shewould ever compete again
or even be able to walk.
- I just didn't wantto eat, I did not want
to even try to walk, justbecause of the level of pain
that I was in and I still, like,
I just didn't understand that,
coming from bodybuildingand just strength training,
it's like, "I'm invincible, right?"
- [Narrator] She began physical therapy
with the same determinationthat brought her success
in body building.
Over the next weeks, she wentfrom walking a few steps a day
to walking a few hours a day.
She says she put her lifeand future in God's hands.
- I had 100% faith and trust in him
that I didn't understand why that happened
or why it had to happen, but I trusted him
that I was gonna be okay.
I also, within a coupleweeks of it happening,
I was able to forgive myex-boyfriend for doing that,
which clearly was not me, that's God
because being able to forgive somebody
that tried to take your lifeand everything from you,
I feel like it's not humanly possible
to forgive that, that fastand so, that was God, 100%.
- [Narrator] Despite her broken back,
Whitney trained hard and miraculously
became stronger than before.
She even returned tothe bodybuilding stage
at the top level, the Olympia.
- Not just that I got to the biggest stage
and best stage in theworld, but because I did it
after what happened and that's,I mean, that's a miracle.
That's God and that's, Godtakes the most broken people
to do things with.
And so, that's what I feellike his purpose was for it.
- It's a miracle, it really is.
The fact that she's walkingthrough life with health,
that she's walking throughhealth with forgiveness,
that she's walking throughlife with a purpose
and a meaning and doingthis all through her faith
and her passion for the lord,it's just an amazing thing.
- [Narrator] Through this experience,
Whitney discovered God'spurpose for her life.
She started her own body building show,
encouraging women toovercome their challenges,
like she did, with the power of God.
- When I tell people my story, it's like
all barriers come down,all walls come down
and they're open and they're like,
"If she went through that,I can go through this."
So, it's just, it's empowering.
God brought me back so much stronger
that I made it to theOlympia and I was on a stage
with the best athletes inthe entire world after that.
So, the power of God.
- What an incredible story.
And for Whitney to be ableto forgive her attacker,
what an incredible thingthat, and she acknowledges,
"Well, this wasn't me, this was God."
And the miracle thatshe's able to come back
from horrific injury toperform at the highest level
is absolutely incredible.
And that's God.
For with God, nothing is impossible.
In our own effort, when we look at things
in the natural, we can usuallycome to the conclusion,
this isn't possible, you can't do this.
But keep that in your mind and your heart
and your innermost being, withGod, all things are possible.
Well, it's my favorite time of the show,
where we get to pray for you.
Before we pray, we've gotsome other miracle stories.
Here's Buzz, he wrote in by email,
"A month ago, my wife and Iwere watching The 700 Club,
Pat and Terry were praying for healing."
"My left knee was close to the stage
of needing a replacement."
"I asked my wife to lay her hand on it
and we both prayed withTerry for healing."
"Now, a month later,I have almost no pain,
just normal old age soreness."
Who doesn't have that?
"I went from having agonizing days
where walking was a challengeto not even having a bother."
"Praise God, for he is good and faithful."
- [Terry] That's awesome.
This is Anna, she lives inThompkinsville, Kentucky.
She suffered with asthma and COPD.
After she contracted COVID-19 in 2020,
she had to start usingsupplemental oxygen.
She doesn't usually watch The 700 Club,
but she felt compelled to tune in
on September the 13th of this year.
During the prayersegment, Gordon, you said,
"We lift up anyone who's sufferingwith breathing problems."
"We command it, in Jesus'name, to leave them."
Anna believed the prayer was for her.
She immediately stoppedwheezing, could breathe freely
and she no longer needs extra oxygen.
- Oh, Hallelujah.
That's what Jesus would do,he would command things.
So, let's do that right now.
You just heard Buzz say,"Well, my wife laid her hand
on my knee and we prayed inagreement and things happened,"
and then you hear thisother wonderful story,
breathing problems,command, let's do that,
let's do the same thing.
I believe when you follow whatthe Bible spells out to do
and you repeat that,you'll get the same result.
So, let's do that.
First, let's believe, then,in faith, let's lay hands
and then let's speak toit, let's command it,
in Jesus' name.
Lord, we lift everyonewho's having sickness,
anyone who's having pain,anyone with breathing problems,
anyone with problems withtheir knees or their shoulders
or their elbows or their handsor their backs or their hips,
any joint, in Jesus' name,be healed and be made whole.
Terry, God's giving you something.
- Yeah, someone, you havea mental lack of clarity
that's noticeable to otherpeople, you're very fearful.
God's healing that for you right now.
That sharpness is comingback, in Jesus' name.
- If you need prayer, we're here for you,
all you have to do is call us.
He performs wondersthat cannot be fathomed.
God bless, we'll see you tomorrow.
