- [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.

- Last question, howcan people pray for you?

- 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.

- Heidi, thank you, thankyou for all you're doing

God is doing beautiful things.

Thank you for what you're doing.

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

- 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.

(audience clapping)

- I get a call from Operation Blessing.

They said, "We want torebuild your house."

(audience clapping and cheering)

All of a sudden, all these trucks pull up

and people are working andit was just unbelievable.

- A ray of light broke through the.

We were smiling and laughing.

I had something to be excited about.

We had hope.

- [Narrator] With thesupport of Operation Blessing

donors and volunteers,our team removed the mold,

put in new drywall, floors,ceilings and kitchen cabinets

and refinished two bathrooms.

- Sometimes, my husband and Ijust open the door and walk in

and we just, we just start crying.

Everything smells good,everything is beautiful.

You think about heaven andwhat heaven will be like

and I think that God gave us a taste

of what heaven will be like.

People loving you, working together,

wanting you to have the best.

Your house destroyed, totally pulled apart

and insurance doesn't cover rebuilding it

and you don't have the capacity to do it.

And, you know, hope doesrun dry at times like that,

doesn't it?

It just seems impossible.

And yet, I want to sayover and over again,

we hear people who are inthese disaster situations say,

"And then the OperationBlessing truck showed up,

coming down my street."

Some of them were peoplewho, over the years,

have been 700 Clubmembers, never realizing

that one day, those truckswould come their way.

Will she ever be able to compete again?

Well, see for yourself right after this.

(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.
