RELIGION AMONG MILLENNIALS IS

NO RELIGION AT ALL.

THAT DATA HAUNTS ME.

A GROWING NUMBER OF YOUNG

CHRISTIANS ARE LEAVING THE

FAITH.

THEY GREW UP IN OUR YOUTH

GROUPS.

SOMEHOW WE MISSED THEM.

WE REALLY DROPPED THE BALL ON

DISCIPLING MEN AND WOMEN.

WHAT IS BEING DONE TO WIN

THEM BACK.

DARKNESS GETS PUSHED BACK IN

1000 DIFFERENT DIRECTIONS.

ON TODAY'S "700 CLUB".

> WELCOME TO THE "700 CLUB".

DEADLY THREATS.

THAT IS WHAT MEMBERS OF

CONGRESS ARE FACING ON BOTH

SIDES OF THE AISLE ARE.

THOSE THREATS ARE COMING FROM

FELLOW AMERICANS.

KEEPING ELECTED OFFICIALS

SAFE IS INCREASINGLY DIFFICULT

FOR CAPITOL POLICE BECAUSE OF

THE SEVERE STAFFING SHORTAGES.

MORE LAWMAKERS ARE TURNING TO

PRIVATE FIRMS FOR HELP.

CBN NATIONAL SECURITY

CORRESPONDENT CAITLIN BURKE

EXPLAINS.

Reporter: THE NUMBER OF

THREATS AGAINST MEMBERS OF

CONGRESS HAS TRIPLED SINCE 2017

WITH NEARLY 10,000 REPORTED

JUST LAST YEAR.

MANY COME IN THE FORM OF VERBAL

ASSAULTS.

A MEMBER OF CONGRESS WAS

THREATENED IN A GRUESOME

VOICEMAIL THAT ASKED IF SHE HAD

EVER SEEN WHAT A 50 CALIBER

SHELL DOES TO A HUMAN HEAD.

ANOTHER MEMBER OF CONGRESS, AN

IRAQ WAR VETERAN AND PURPLE

HEART RECIPIENT RECEIVED

THREATS THAT LEFT HER TERRIFIED

FOR HER FAMILY.

Reporter: ATTORNEY GENERAL

MERRICK GARLAND SAYS WE CAN'T

RISK THIS KIND OF ACTION

BECOMING NORMALIZED.

THAT IS DANGEROUS FOR PEOPLES

SAFELY AND DEEPLY DANGEROUS FOR

OUR DEMOCRACY.

Reporter: U.S. CAPITOL

POLICE ARE TASKED WITH

PROTECTING LAWMAKERS, THE CHIEF

SAYS THEY FACE A SHORTAGE OF

NEARLY 450 AGENTS.

WE WILL HAVE TO NEARLY

DOUBLE THE NUMBER OF AGENTS

THAT WORK THOSE THREAT CASES.

WE HAVE INCREASED THE NUMBER

OVER THE LAST COUPLE YEARS BY

NECESSITY, BUT EVEN NOW, IT

NEEDS TO BE INCREASED EVEN

MORE.

Reporter: DESPITE THAT LEVEL

OF SECURITY, LAWMAKERS HAVE

SOUGHT OUTSIDE PROTECTION.

THAT MEANS DOING

INTELLIGENCE RESEARCH BEFORE

EVENTS, IT MEANS IDENTIFYING

PEOPLE WHO ARE SENDING YOU HATE

MAIL.

YOU ARE BUILDING SECURITY INTO

YOUR DAY TO DAY LIFE.

Reporter: CHRIS RYAN HAS

HELPED OVERSEE BOTH PHYSICAL

AND ONLINE SECURITY FOR

POLITICAL CLIENTS.

HE BLAMES THE GROWTH IN THESE

THREATS ON A GENERAL INCREASE

IN MISBEHAVIOR.

YOU ARE SEEING A LEVEL OF

BEHAVIOR ACROSS THE POPULATION

THAT YOU JUST NEVER REALLY SAW

BEFORE.

WHETHER IT IS BUILT UP

FRUSTRATION FROM COVID OR JUST

A GENERAL COARSENING OF

AMERICAN SOCIETY, NOBODY REALLY

KNOWS EXACTLY WHAT IS

HAPPENING.

THERE IS NO DOUBT IT IS

HAPPENING.

IT IS CERTAINLY HAPPENING IN

POLITICS.

Reporter: HE ADVISES

ELECTION OFFICIALS AND ALL

OFFICIALS TO MAKE SECURITY A

PRIORITY ON DAY ONE.

YOUR SECURITY FIRMS GET

DRAWN IN WHEN SOMETHING HAS

ALREADY HAPPENED AND WE ARE NOW

REACTING TO SOMETHING INSTEAD

OF BEING PROACTIVE.

WE ADVISE EVERYONE TO BE

PROACTIVE IN THEIR SECURITY.

Reporter: HE SAYS IT IS

COMING FROM BOTH THE AMERICAN

PUBLIC AND POLITICIANS AND SAYS

IT IS DANGEROUS.

UNFORTUNATELY, HE SEES NO TREND

OF THE CURRENT MIDTERMS JUST

AROUND THE CORNER, NO SIGNS OF

IT EASING UP.

CAITLIN BURKE, CBN NEWS.

THIS IS ONE OF THE MOST

DISTURBING TRENDS IN OUR

CULTURE TODAY.

WE ARE SEEING GUNMEN SHOW UP AT

BASEBALL FIELDS, LOOKING TO

HUNT REPUBLICANS.

WE ARE SEEING, ON THE

CONSERVATIVE SIDE, SO-CALLED

PEACEFUL PROTESTERS SHOWING UP

TO THAT PROTEST WITH ZIP TIES

AND TACTICAL GEAR, LOOKING FOR

HOW THEY CAN CAPTURE, IF YOU

WILL, U.S. CONGRESSMAN.

THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE.

@CURRENTLY HAVE. RHETORIC WE

THAT IS ON BOTH SIDES OF THE

AISLE.

FROM PRESIDENT BIDEN SAYING I

AM GOING INTO THE BELLY OF THE

BEAST AND ANYONE WHO DISAGREES

WITH ME IS JUST LIKE JEFFERSON

DAVIS, I MEAN, HE IS MAKING

THESE OUTRAGEOUS CLAIMS ABOUT A

PARTICULAR BILL.

THE BELLY OF THAT BEAST VOTED

FOR HIM.

IT IS PART OF THE REASON HE IS

THE CURRENT PRESIDENT.

ALSO, PART OF THE REASON, IT

WAS A 50-50 TIE IN THE U.S.

SENATE, THEY FLIPPED SEATS IN

THE BELLY OF THE BEAST.

WHERE THE RHETORIC IS NOT

MATCHING THE REALITY IS DRIVING

US FURTHER AND FURTHER APART.

IN THAT, EMBOLDENING PEOPLE TO

GO OUT AND SAY, I WILL TAKE

MATTERS INTO MY OWN HANDS.

WE NEED TO RATCHET IT BACK AND

FIND SOME WAY WE CAN BE

UNIFIED.

I HAVE SAID IT BEFORE AND I

WILL SAY IT AGAIN.

A HOUSE DIVIDED CANNOT STAND.

WE SEEM TO WANT TO FIND REASONS

TO INCREASE THE DIVIDE, AS

OPPOSED TO COME TOGETHER.

WE NEED TO COME TOGETHER

BECAUSE THAT IS THE ONLY WAY WE

ARE GOING TO STAND.

> IN WEATHER NEWS, 75 MILLION

AMERICANS ARE BRACING FOR A

MONSTER STORM.

IT COULD BRING MORE THAN A FOOT

OF SNOW IN SOME AREAS.

MARK MARTIN HAS MORE FROM THE

CBN NEWSROOM.

Reporter: GORDON, THE STORM

WILL COME WITH BRUTAL COLD

TEMPERATURES, HURRICANE FORCE

WINDS, COASTAL FLOODING AND

POWER OUTAGES.

SOME METEOROLOGISTS THEY THIS

STORM COULD TURN INTO WHAT IS

KNOWN AS A BOMB CYCLONE.

CBN'S BRODY CARTER HAS THE

DETAILS.

REPORTER:, BOMB CYCLONE WOULD

CREATE A PERFECT WINTER STORM

CONDITION FOR CITIES, IT

BASICALLY MEANS AN EXPLOSIVE

STORM GETTING STRONGER.

FOR THIS STORM, WE ARE TALKING

MAJOR SNOW TOTALS.

Reporter: POWERFUL

NORTHEASTERN WINDS WILL KICK

INTO GEAR.

THE SNOW WILL DEVELOP OFF THE

COAST OF THE CAROLINAS,

POTENTIALLY AFFECTING 75

MILLION PEOPLE ALONG THE

ATLANTIC COAST.

THE HEAVIEST SNOWFALL IS

EXPECTED IN BOSTON AND NEW

ENGLAND, WHICH COULD GET

BLANKETED WITH UP TO A FOOT AND

A HALF OF SNOW.

I AM EXCITED.

IT IS TIME.

CANS OF TUNA.

Reporter: WINTER STORM

WATCHES ARE IN EFFECT FROM

NORTH CAROLINA TO NEW ENGLAND.

SOME COMMUNITIES ARE UNDER A

BLIZZARD WARNING.

DEPENDING ON HOW FAR INLAND THE

STORM TRACKS, SNOW COULD FALL

AS FAR WEST AS OHIO.

EASTERN CITIES ARE NOW

SCRAMBLING TO STRENGTHEN ROAD

CONDITIONS AND INFRASTRUCTURE.

SOME AREAS IN MASSACHUSETTS ARE

OFFERING $300 AND HOUR TO LUCKY

PLOW DRIVERS.

FUEL IS UP.

INSURANCE IS UP.

I THINK IT IS A COMBINATION

BETWEEN MONEY, A COMBINATION

BETWEEN WHERE DID THE WORKFORCE

> TURNING TO UKRAINE.

PRESIDENT BIDEN SPOKE TO

UKRAINE'S PRESIDENT ZELENSKYY

YESTERDAY, ASSURING HIM THE

U.S. AND ITS ALLIES ARE

PREPARED IF RUSSIA INVADES.

UKRAINE HAS URGED AMERICANS TO

LEAVE THE COUNTRY.

SOME OF THEM HAVE BUT OTHERS

ARE STAYING PUT FOR NOW.

DURING ALL THIS, THE LEADERS IN

THE TROUBLED AREAS SAY GOD IS

AT WORK.

GEORGE THOMAS BRINGS US THAT

STORY.

Reporter: WITH TENSIONS

RIDING HIGH BETWEEN RUSSIA AND

UKRAINE, THE WHITE HOUSE IS NOW

URGING AMERICAN CITIZENS LIVING

IN UKRAINE TO GET OUT WHILE

THEY CAN.

SOME, WHO HAVE LIVED THERE FOR

A LONG TIME, ARE TAKING A WAIT-

AND-SEE APPROACH BEFORE PULLING

THE PLUG.

AMONG THEM, AMERICAN MISSIONARY

JANE HYATT.

I HAVE LIVED HERE 26 YEARS.

AS OF TODAY, DID NOT HAVE ANY

PLANS TO EVACUATE.

I WANTED TO SEE HOW THINGS WILL

GO.

WE WILL TRUST GOD AND SEE WHAT

HAPPENS NEXT.

Reporter: SHE RUNS A REHAB

CENTER FOR KIDS IN KYIV.

WE HAVE OVER 20 SOME ODD

CHILDREN AT OUR REHAB CENTER.

I HAVE MANY RESPONSIBILITIES

HERE.

I FEEL I NEED TO DO AS MANY AS

THOSE RESPONSIBILITIES AS I

CAN.

Reporter: SIX HOURS EAST,

THIS CHURCH IS IN DAY 16 OF A

21 DAY PRAYER AND FASTING

INITIATIVE.

WE GATHER WITH OUR CHURCH AT

7:00 AM SO WE CAN PAY PRAY FOR

UKRAINE.

WE KEEP PRAYING AND WE WILL

BELIEVE IN GOD BECAUSE HE IS A

RIGHTEOUS GOD.

Reporter: THIS IS THE

LARGEST EVANGELICAL

CONGREGATION IN THE AREA.

IT IS 25 MILES FROM THE RUSSIAN

BORDER AND ADJACENT TO TWO

PROVINCES, WHICH RUSSIA INVADED

AND TOOK OVER IN 2014.

UKRAINE'S PRESIDENT IS WONDERING

WARNING IT COULD BE RUSSIA'S

NEXT TARGET.

HE SAYS GOD'S POWER IS MOVING

THROUGHOUT THE REGION.

LAST YEAR, 27,000 PEOPLE PACKED

THIS STADIUM FOR AN

EVANGELISTIC CRUSADE ORGANIZED

BY THE CHURCH.

PEOPLE, LIKE NEVER BEFORE,

THEY ARE OPEN FOR JESUS CHRIST.

Reporter: HE SAYS MORE THAN

10,000 PEOPLE CAME FORWARD TO

ACCEPT JESUS CHRIST AS THEIR

SAVIOR.

HE PLANS TO CONTINUE PREACHING

THE MESSAGE OF HOPE, DESPITE

THE RUSSIAN THREAT ALONG THE

BORDER.

IT IS GOING TO BE A GREAT

OPPORTUNITY FOR US TO PREACH

MORE, TO PRAY MORE AND WE WILL

SEE HOW MANY PEOPLE WILL COME

TO THE LORD.

Reporter: MEANWHILE, CBN'S

ORPHANS PROMISE, WHICH HAS

PROJECTS NEAR THE FRONTLINES IN

EASTERN UKRAINE, HAS PLANS TO

EVACUATE ALL THOSE INVOLVED IN

OPERATIONS, SHOULD THE

SITUATION DRAMATICALLY

ESCALATE.

WE ARE READY.

ALL THE VOLUNTEERS, WE HAVE

ENOUGH FOOD, WE HAVE EVERYTHING

TO KEEP OTHER PEOPLE IN A SAFE

PLACE.

Reporter: BACK IN KYIV, JANE

HYATT IS WATCHING DEVELOPMENTS

BY THE HOUR AND PRAYING.

I WOKE UP THIS MORNING AND I

WAS JUST PRAYING FOR PEACE AND

FOR SOME SORT OF RESOLVE AND

FOR PUTIN.

I WAS ACTUALLY PRAYING, GOD

HOLDS THE HEARTS OF THE KING IN

HIS HAND.

HE DIRECTS THE HEARTS LIKE THE

WATERWAYS.

Reporter: GEORGE THOMAS, CBN

NEWS.

WE WANT TO PRAY FOR EVERYONE

INVOLVED IN THE SITUATION.

ABSOLUTELY.

WE NEED TO BE PRAYING FOR

UKRAINE, WE NEED TO BE PRAYING

FOR RUSSIA, WE NEED TO BE

PRAYING FOR PEACE IN THE

REGION.

IF RUSSIA DOZEN BAY, THAT IS

THE CURRENT PREDICTION BY OUR

GOVERNMENT, OUR ADMINISTRATION,

SOON IS THE GROUND HAS A HARD

FREEZE, HE IS EXPECTING THE

TANKS TO GO ACROSS THE BORDER.

THAT WOULD CREATE ONE OF THE

GREATEST HUMANITARIAN CRISES IN

YOUR'S HISTORY.

IT WILL MAKE THIS SYRIAN CIVIL

WAR, MAKE VENEZUELA SEEN TAINE,

AS PEOPLE RUN AWAY, LITERALLY

RUN AWAY FROM THAT COUNTRY AND

INTO THE REST OF EUROPE.

WE NEED TO PRAY.

YOU ARE ON THE GROUND, ORPHANS

PROMISES ON THE GROUND, WHAT IS

YOUR PREDICTION?

MY HOPE IS THAT THE KING,

THE KING, WILL CAUSE CONFUSION

IN THE CAMP OF THE ENEMY AND

THIS WILL NOT COME TO PASS.

THIS IS WHERE WE HAVE MANY

PROJECTS IN UKRAINE AND DONE IN

THIS AREA.

WE ARE WORKING THERE ALL THE

TIME.

MANY PEOPLE ARE PRAYING.

I KNOW THAT GOD IS FAITHFUL.

I AM BELIEVING, THE UKRAINIAN

PEOPLE ARE VERY, VERY LOYAL TO

THEIR COUNTRY, THEY WILL STAND.

I WAS THERE IN 2014 WHEN THEY

WERE PULLING BRICKS OUT OF THE

STREETS OF KYIV AND THROWING

THEM AT THE ENEMY BECAUSE THEY

DID NOT HAVE ENOUGH ARMS TO

BACK THEM UP.

YOU KNOW, IT WOULD BE NICE TO

SEE EUROPE AND THE UNITED

STATES COME TO THE AID OF

UKRAINE, KAZAKHSTAN, ARMENIA,

SOME OF THE OTHER COUNTRIES

THERE WHO FALL PREY TO ALL OF

THIS ACTIVITY.

PRAY.

PRAY FOR THEM.

PRAYER CHANGES THINGS.

AS WE KNOW, IN THE MIDST, EVEN

IS IS DIFFICULT, GOD IS DOING

SOMETHING AMAZING.

IT SEEMS LIKE EUROPE WILL

NOT STAND WITH UKRAINE.

IT IS LAUGHABLE WHAT GERMANY

DID.

THEY SENT A FEW THOUSAND

HELMETS.

HELMETS.

THAT WILL HELP.

THE U.S. HAS REPOSITIONED

FIGHTER JETS, BUT THERE IS NO

PROMISE THOSE FIGHTER JETS WILL

EVER BE DEPLOYED.

THIS IS JUST POSITIONING.

THE ONE PROMISE THAT WAS

MADE, IF THEY GOT RID OF ALL OF

THEIR NUCLEAR ARSENAL, EVERYONE

WOULD COME AND STAND WITH THEM.

THAT HAS NOT BEEN MET.

RUSSIA MADE THE PROMISE THEY

WOULD NEVER INVADE.

A LOT OF PROMISES.

THAT HAS BEEN BROKEN.

THAT MEMORANDUM IS SO MUCH

PAPER.

THERE IS A STRONG, STRONG

CHRISTIAN CONTINGENCY IN

UKRAINE.

THEY ARE STEADFAST IN THEIR

FAITH AND STEADFAST UKRAINIANS.

WE STAND WITH THEM AND WE PRAY

WITH THEM.

YES.

CHRISTIAN SINGER SAYS HE NO

CHRISTIAN GOD AND HE IS NOT THE

ONLY ONE LEAVING THE FAITH.

EXODUS OF MILLENNIALS.

MISERABLE LIVING THE DREAM.

> MORE AND MORE AMERICANS ARE

LOSING THEIR RELIGION.

DAILY PRAYER, CHURCH ATTENDANCE

AND THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE WHO

IDENTIFY THEMSELVES AS

CHRISTIAN, THEY ARE ALL ON THE

DECLINE.

THIS TREND INCLUDES THE RISE OF

THE GROUP KNOWN AS THE

NO RELIGIOUS AFFILIATION AT

ALL.

CBN'S BRODY CARTER EXPLORES

WHY SO MANY CHRISTIANS ARE

LEAVING THE FAITH AND WHAT IS

BEING DONE TO BRING THEM BACK.

Reporter: THE FAITH JOURNEY

OF JON STEINGARD REFLECTS

AMERICA'S CHANGING RELIGIOUS

LANDSCAPE.

ONCE PART OF A CHRISTIAN BAND,

HE HAS JOINED A BURGEONING

GROUP THAT BLURS THE

TRADITIONAL LINES OF RELIGIOUS

EDUCATION.

I DEFINITELY DON'T THINK I

LITERALLY BELIEVE IN THE GOD

THAT MOST CHRISTIANS WOULD SAY

THEY BELIEVE IN.

LET'S, I AM NOT SO CONVINCED

THAT CHRISTIAN FAITH AND

PRACTICES IS ALWAYS A HARMFUL

THING.

Reporter: HE IS NOT ALONE.

STUDY AFTER STUDY SHOWS

CHRISTIANITY IS NOT THE FORCE

IT ONCE WAS.

METEOROLOGIST THAT DATA HAUNTS

ME.

Reporter: IN 2021, PEW

RESEARCH FOUND SELF IDENTIFIED

CHRISTIANS MAKING UP 63% OF THE

U.S. POPULATION, A DROP FROM

75% JUST 10 YEARS AGO.

THE MAJORITY OF THIS DECLINE IS

HAPPENING AMONG PROTESTANTS,

DROPPING 10 POINTS IN THE LAST

DECADE.

CATHOLICISM REMAINS RELATIVELY

UNCHANGED.

DURING THE SAME PERIOD, THE

HAS STEADILY GROWN.

WHEN WE ASK PEOPLE ABOUT

THEIR RELIGIOUS IDENTIFICATION,

YOU PROTESTANT, CATHOLIC,

MORMON, JEWISH, MUSLIM,

BUDDHIST, AGNOSTIC, SOMETHING

ELSE OR NOTHING IN PARTICULAR,

THE RELIGIOUS NONES DESCRIBED

HIMSELF AS ATHEIST, AGNOSTIC OR

NOTHING IN PARTICULAR.

Reporter: IN STUDYING THIS

SECULAR SHIFT, RESEARCHER

GREGORY SMITH SAYS HE SEES NO

SIGN OF THE TREND SLOWING DOWN.

ACCOUNT FOR ABOUT THREE IN 10

U.S. ADULTS.

THAT IS TRIPLE, GETTING

CLOSE TO QUADRUPLE THE SHARE

WHO SAID THAT ABOUT THREE

DECADES AGO.

Reporter: OTHER INDICATORS

THAT AMERICANS ARE GROWING LESS

RELIGIOUS INCLUDE PRAYER.

FEWER THAN HALF OF ADULTS DO SO

DAILY.

30% SAY THEY PRAY SELDOMLY OR

NOT IT ALL.

STILL, FOUR IN 10 SAY THEY

CONSIDER RELIGION TO BE VERY

IMPORTANT IN THEIR LIVES.

SO MANY OF THESE PEOPLE WE

HAD, THEY GREW UP IN OUR

CHILDREN'S MINISTRIES, THEY

GREW UP IN OUR YOUTH GROUPS.

SOMEHOW, WE MISSED THEM, MAN.

WE WERE UNABLE TO GET THEM

READY TO LIVE IN THE WORLD THAT

THEIR LIFE IS PLAYING OUT IN

NOW.

Reporter: RENOWNED PASTOR,

AUTHOR AND CHURCH PLANTER MATT

CHANDLER SAYS THE CHURCH MUST

SEE AND ACCEPT THIS HARSH

REALITY BEFORE IT CAN MOVE

FORWARD.

YOU GOT THE KINGDOM OF GOD

AND YOU GOT THE KINGDOM OF

DARKNESS.

REALLY, WHAT I THINK YOU ARE

SEEING, THERE WAS, I THINK, A

COLLAPSE OF ROBUST DISCIPLESHIP

FOR AN EXTENDED PERIOD OF TIME.

Reporter: TO BETTER

UNDERSTAND THE REASONS WHY

SOMEONE WOULD LEAVE THEIR

FAITH, I TALKED WITH JON

STEINGARD, FORMER LEAD SINGER

FOR HAWK NELSON, CANADIAN

CHRISTIAN ROCK BAND.

ANYBODY WHO LEAVES ANY SORT

OF RELIGIOUS COMMUNITY HAS TO

FIGURE OUT HOW TO HOLD

THEMSELVES TOGETHER AND HOW TO

MAKE THEIR WAY IN THE WORLD.

THAT IS ACTUALLY NOT SO EASY.

Reporter: STEINGARD, WHOSE

FATHER AND FATHER IN LAW ARE

BOTH PASTORS ANNOUNCED HIS

DECISION ON INSTAGRAM AT THE

HEIGHT OF THE PANDEMIC.

HIS ANNOUNCEMENT SENT

SHOCKWAVES THROUGH THE

CHRISTIAN COMMUNITY.

PEOPLE LIKE MYSELF, WHO

DECIDE TO LEAVE A FAITH

TRADITION TEND TO BE FOCUSED ON

THE NEGATIVE ASPECTS OF THAT

TRADITION WHEN WE LEAVE.

WE TEND TO WANT TO POINT OUT

ALL THE THINGS WE THINK ARE

HARMFUL, UNFAIR OR UNJUST.

Reporter: STEINGARD BELIEVES

THREE MAJOR REASONS PEOPLE ARE

CURRENTLY LEAVING THE CHURCH

INCLUDE DIFFERING BELIEFS ON

GAME RIGHTS, FAILED SUPPORT FOR

SOCIAL JUSTICE ISSUES AND

POLITICAL PLATFORMS USING FAITH

TO ADVANCE CERTAIN POLARIZING

AGENDAS.

THE CHURCH HAS TO OWN THAT

WE REALLY DROPPED THE BALL ON

DISCIPLING MEN AND WOMEN FOR

THE WORLD THAT THEY LIVE IN.

EVEN THE MILLION OR SO KIDS

THAT HAVE LEFT OUR CHURCH

PRESENT A STUNNING OPPORTUNITY

FOR INNOVATION AROUND

EVANGELISM, AROUND REACHING OUR

NEIGHBOR.

Reporter: CHANDLER SEES THE

OPPORTUNITY TO SOW SEEDS OF

HOPE, TO ENCOURAGE SUPPORT, HE

PLANS TO FUND EACH NEW CHURCH

PLANTER WHO PARTNERS WITH THE

ACTS 29 NETWORK, UP TO $50,000.

TODAY THE NETWORK SUPPORTS OVER

700 CHURCHES IN 50 COUNTRIES.

I DON'T KNOW, WHO IS

WATCHING THIS, WHAT THEIR

HEARTBEAT WOULD BE, BUT WHEN

YOU HAVE A HEALTHY LOCAL CHURCH

MADE UP OF PEOPLE WHO LOVE

JESUS CHRIST AND KNOW HIS WORD,

DARKNESS GETS PUSHED BACK IN

1000 DIFFERENT DIRECTIONS.

IT IS NOT ONE BIG CHURCH THAT

ACTUALLY THREATENS THE GATES OF

. IT IS A THOUSAND LITTLE

LIGHTS IN THE DARKNESS THAT

MAKE UP THE BRIGHTNESS AND THE

HEAT OF THE GOSPEL.

I WANT TO BE ABOUT POURING INTO

THAT AND GIVING MY INFLUENCE

TOWARDS THAT, GIVING MY TIME,

ENERGY AND MONEY TOWARDS THAT.

Reporter: CHANDLER AND

OTHERS REMAIN UNDAUNTED BY

AMERICA'S RELIGIOUS

REALIGNMENT.

THEY STILL SEE FERTILE GROUND

FOR OUTREACH TO

BRODY CARTER, CBN NEWS.

THE FIELD IS RIPE FOR

HARVEST.

AMERICA IS BECOMING A MISSION

FIELD AS OPPOSED TO WHAT WE

WERE.

WE DON'T NEED A GOSPEL TIED TO

A POLITICAL MOVEMENT, AS IF GOD

IS SOMEHOW ON OUR SIDE.

OUR PRAYERS SHOULD CONSTANTLY

BE, GOD, HOW CAN I BE PART OF

YOUR PLAN?

HOW CAN I BRING JUSTICE TO THE

WORLD LOOKS YOU WON'T REST

UNTIL JUSTICE IS ESTABLISHED IN

THE LAND.

HOW CAN WE BE THE VOICE OF

HOPE?

HOW CAN WE BE THE CONSCIENCE OF

OUR CULTURE TO POINT OUT

INJUSTICE, POINT OUT

INEQUALITY?

LET US HAVE LIBERTY AND JUSTICE

FOR ALL IN AMERICA.

LET THAT BE OUR WATCHWORD.

WHEN WE DO THAT, WHEN WE BECOME

THAT, WE BECOME VERY

ATTRACTIVE.

THAT IS WONDERFUL.

LET'S LIFT HIM UP.

HE WILL DRAW ALL PEOPLE UNTO

HIM.

> STILL AHEAD, THIS HUSBAND

WAS ON A LIST TO BE LET GO FROM

HIS COMPANY.

HIS WIFE WAS FORCED TO RETIRE

EARLY BECAUSE OF HER HEALTH.

WATCH WITH THIS COUPLE DID TO

MAKE ENDS MEET AND SEE HOW IT

LED TO A MAJOR PROMOTION AND A

BONUS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE

PANDEMIC.

> SHE HAD A FAMILY, FAME,

FORTUNE, SEE WHY THIS HOLLYWOOD

ACTRESS CALLED HER LIFE A

CIRCUS.

THAT IS COMING UP.

> HERBERT WAS SCARED WHEN HE

FOUND OUT HIS NAME WAS ON THE

LIST OF PEOPLE TO BE LET GO BY

HIS COMPANY.

HIS WIFE, LILIA, WAS ALSO

AFRAID WHEN SHE RETIRED AND HER

PAY WAS CUT BY 80%.

BOTH OF THEM WERE WORRIED THEY

MIGHT NOT BE ABLE TO MAKE ENDS

MEET.

AS IT TURNS OUT, THIS COUPLE IS

DOING BETTER THAN EVER, ALL

BECAUSE OF SOMETHING LILIA SAYS

WORKS EVERY SINGLE TIME .

Reporter: FROM THE TIME THEY

MET AND MARRIED IN 2003,

HERBERT AND LILIA DARDON HAVE

ALWAYS AGREED ON FINANCES.

IT WAS NEVER A QUESTION.

IT WAS NEVER A BATTLE BETWEEN

US.

WE KNEW.

WHEN SHE GOT PAID, WHEN I GOT

PAID, THE CHECK WENT TO THE

CHURCH.

I HAVE SEEN GOD DO SO MANY

MIRACULOUS THINGS IN MY LIFE,

BECAUSE I TRUSTED TO STEP OUT

IN FAITH AND GIVE.

Reporter: HOWEVER, IN 2015,

THEY THOUGHT THEY WERE IN

TROUBLE.

HERBER'S COMPANY WAS

RESTRUCTURING.

HIS NAME WAS ON THE LIST TO BE

LET GO.

I WOULD BE A LIAR IF I

DIDN'T SAY I WAS SCARED BECAUSE

I WAS SCARED.

AT THIS POINT, I AM IN MY LATE

40s.

PEOPLE DON'T HIRE OLDER PEOPLE

AS EASILY AS YOU WOULD HIRE

SOMEONE WHO'S YOUNG AND MORE

TRAINABLE.

Reporter: IN SPITE OF HIS

FEAR, THE DARDONS CONTINUED TO

TITHE, PRAY AND TRUST GOD.

SOON, HERBERT WAS OFFERED A

DIFFERENT MANAGERIAL POSITION

IN THE SAME COMPANY.

ALTHOUGH HIS TITLE CHANGED, HIS

SALARY, BENEFITS AND SENIORITY

WERE ALL LEFT UNTOUCHED.

IT WAS A SIGH OF RELIEF

THAT HE DID TAKE CARE OF ME.

Reporter: THE DARDONS

CONTINUED GIVING.

WHEN LILIA BEGAN HAVING HEALTH

PROBLEMS FIVE YEARS LATER AND

HAD TO RETIRE FROM HER TEACHING

JOB, SHE WAS WORRIED.

WHEN I WAS RETIRED, I WAS

VERY CONCERNED ABOUT THE TITHE

. IT WAS PROBABLY THE FIRST

TIME I WAS CONCERNED ABOUT IT.

I KNEW MY PAY WAS GOING TO BE

CUT DOWN BY 80%.

WE HAD BILLS.

I STARTED TO WAIT AND PAY THE

TITHE AFTER I PAID THE BILLS,

WHICH REALLY WASN'T WORKING OUT

FINANCIALLY.

Reporter: NOW, THEIR MONEY

WASN'T GOING AS FAR AS IT ONCE

DID.

WHEN MY CHECKS WERE LARGE, I

DID NOT HAVE A PROBLEM TITHING.

WHEN MY CHECK GOT SMALLER, I

HAD MORE OF A PROBLEM.

WHEN I PUT MY TITHE AT THE END

INSTEAD OF FIRST, I FELT A

CHANGE IN MY SPIRIT.

Reporter: LILIA SAYS GOD

SPOKE TO HER.

I LITERALLY HEARD HIM SAY TO

ME IN MY MIND, MY HEART IN MY

SPIRIT, WHERE AM I IN THIS?

ARE YOU TRUSTING ME STILL?

HE CONVICTED ME.

Reporter: LILIA DECIDED SHE

NEEDED TO PUT HER TRUST BACK IN

GOD AND NOT IN HER CHECKBOOK.

I HAVE TO TITHE FIRST, NOT

LAST.

IT WAS REALLY A TEST.

IT WAS A TEST OF MY COMMITMENT

TO THE LORD.

HE HAS NEVER LET US DOWN.

NOT ONCE.

Reporter: SINCE THAT TIME,

HERBERT HAS BEEN PROMOTED

STEADILY AND EVEN RECEIVED A

BONUS DURING THE PANDEMIC.

AS THEY HAVE SEEN GOD BLESS

THEM, THE DARDONS LOOK FOR WAYS

TO BLESS OTHERS.

ONE WAY THEY DO THAT IS THROUGH

PARTNERING WITH CBN.

I HAVE BEEN WATCHING "700

CLUB" FOR 40 YEARS.

CBN IS DOING SUCH A GREAT

JOB.

I KNOW I CAN TRUST CBN.

Reporter: ONE AREA THE

DARDONS ARE PASSIONATE ABOUT IS

CLEAN WATER.

THEY WERE THRILLED CBN HAS

NUMEROUS WATER PROJECTS GOING

ON.

WHY REINVENT THE WHEEL WHEN

GOD ALREADY HAS THE PROGRAM

GOING?

LET'S PARTNER WITH YOU.

TO KNOW THAT MY LITTLE SMALL

AMOUNT OF MONEY GOES TO THOSE

AREAS OF NEED IS A BLESSING

THAT WE CAN DO THAT WITHOUT

HAVING TO GO.

I WOULD LOVE TO GO, BUT WHEN

YOU CAN'T GO, YOU CAN AT LEAST

SEND MONEY.

Reporter: HERBERT AND LILIA

DARDON KNOW FIRST-HAND THEIR

MONEY IS BEING USED TO HELP

PEOPLE AROUND THE WORLD.

THEY ENCOURAGE EVERYONE TO

TRUST GOD WITH THEIR FINANCES

AND SEE HOW HE WILL BLESS THEM.

DON'T HOLD YOUR MONEY THIS

TIGHT.

YOU HOLD IT TIGHT AND NOTHING

COMES IN AND NOTHING GOES OUT.

TRY GIVING AND YOU WILL SEE GOD

IS FAITHFUL.

IF WE WANT TO SEE HIM WORK

IN OUR LIFE, WE HAVE TO TRUST

THAT CONCEPT.

THE LAW OF RECIPROCITY, THE LAW

OF SOWING AND REAPING, IF YOU

JUST STEP OUT AND TRY IT, IT'S

GOING TO BLOW YOUR MIND.

IT WORKS EVERY SINGLE TIME.

IT WORKS EVERY TIME.

HERE IS WHAT THE BIBLE SAYS.

YOU CAN FIND IT IN PROVERBS 3.

TRUST IN THE LORD WITH ALL YOUR

HEART AND LEAN NOT ON YOUR OWN

UNDERSTANDING.

IN ALL YOUR WAYS ACKNOWLEDGE

HIM AND HE SHALL DIRECT YOUR

PATH.

HERE THEY ARE, THEY'RE LOOKING

AT SOME VERY SCARY THINGS. THEY

ARE SAYING, I GOT TO BE HONEST,

I WAS AFRAID.

THEN THEY CHOSE TO TRUST IN THE

LORD AND NOT JUST A LITTLE BIT,

BUT WITH ALL OF THEIR HEARTS.

THEY ACKNOWLEDGED HIM WITH ALL

OF THEIR WAYS.

THEY SAY, WE ARE GOING TO KEEP

ON OBEYING WHAT GOD TELLS US TO

DO. IN THAT, THE BLESSINGS

CAME.

THAT WILL HAPPEN TO YOU, IF YOU

JUST FOLLOW THE SAME PRINCIPLE.

TRUST IN THE LORD WITH ALL YOUR

HEART.

IN THESE DIFFICULT TIMES,

WHETHER IT IS COVID, POLITICAL

TURMOIL, WAR, RUMORS OF WAR, WE

NEED TO RESOLVE, WE NEED TO

TRUST IN THE LORD, NOT JUST A

LITTLE BIT, BUT WITH EVERYTHING.

THAT WAY, WE WILL HAVE THE

ASSURANCE HE WILL DIRECT OUR

PATHS. IF YOU WANT TO START

DOING THAT, GIVE US A CALL AND

SAY, YES, I WENT TO JOIN THE

> A LATE DAY STORM TORE THE

ROOF OFF A SHANTY WHERE GISELLA

AND HER CHILDREN LIVED.

SHE WAS ALREADY SUFFERING AFTER

THE PANDEMIC SHUT DOWN HER

BUSINESS AND NOW HER FAMILY HAD

NOWHERE TO LIVE.

Reporter: GISELLA IS A

SINGLE MOM RAISING HER

DAUGHTER, SON AND GRANDDAUGHTER

IN A REMOTE COMMUNITY IN PERU.

BEFORE COVID HIT, SHE EARNED

MONEY FOR FOOD BY SELLING

HANDMADE CRAFTS IN A TOURIST

TOWN.

WHEN THE PANDEMIC HIT, ALL

INTERNATIONAL TRAVEL STOPPED

AND HER BUSINESS DRIED UP.

Translator: WITH THAT, I

SUPPORT MY CHILDREN.

WHEN I DON'T SELL, I DON'T EAT.

Reporter: TO MAKE THINGS

EVEN MORE CHALLENGING, THE ROOF

OF THE SHANTY WHERE THEY HAD

LIVED 22 YEARS WAS TORN OFF BY

STRONG WINDS AND RAIN.

MY OLDEST DAUGHTER STARTED

CRYING WHEN SHE SAW THE ROOF

BLOW AWAY.

I WILL NEVER FORGET WHAT WE

WENT THROUGH.

ALL OF THE CLOTHING AND MY

HANDICRAFTS GOT WET.

I THOUGHT THE HOUSE WAS GOING

TO FALL DOWN ON US.

I LEFT EVERYTHING THERE AND RAN

TO SAFETY WITH MY CHILDREN.

Reporter: WHEN OPERATION

BLESSING CAME TO HELP MEMBERS

OF THE COMMUNITY AFFECTED BY

THE PANDEMIC, WE PROVIDED

TRAINING AND MATERIALS FOR

GISELLA TO BEGIN MAKING AND

SELLING CRAFTS AGAIN.

I LEARNED TO READ BETTER.

I LEARNED HOW TO MAKE

BRACELETS, BAGS, EARRINGS AND

NECKLACES.

Reporter: OPERATION BLESSING

BUILT GISELLA AND HER FAMILY A

NEW HOUSE, WITH A KITCHEN,

BATHROOM AND NEW BEDS.

> I HAD NEVER LIVED IN A HOUSE

LIKE THIS, ONLY A HOT.

GOD HAS GIVEN ME A HOUSE FOR

MY CHILDREN TO LIVE IN PEACE

WITHOUT FEAR OF STORMS.

Reporter: THIS IS SIX-YEAR-

OLD JOSC

I AM HAPPY IN MY NEW HOUSE.

Reporter: AS RESTRICTIONS

HAVE LIFTED AND THE TOURISTS

ARE RETURNING, GISELLA SAYS SHE

MASSIVE CROWDS HAVE BEEN

CHEERING A GROUP OF CANADIAN

TRUCKERS WHO FORMED ALONG

CONVOY CALLED THE FREEDOM

CONVOY, PROTESTING COVID

VACCINATION MANDATES.

MORE THAN 80 % OF CANADA'S

TRUCK DRIVERS WHO REGULARLY

CROSS INTO THE U.S. ARE

VACCINATED BUT AS MANY AS

16,000 COULD BE SIDELINED

BECAUSE OF NEW VACCINATION

RESTRICTIONS PUT IN PLACE IN

CANADA AND BY THE BIDEN

ADMINISTRATION.

TRUCKERS ARE TAKING PART IN THE

PROTEST AFTER KENNARD'S RECENT

DEADLINES FORCING UNVACCINATED

DRIVERS TO COMMIT TO TWO WEEKS

PROVIDING MEDICAL HELP TO THOSE

IN NEED AROUND THE WORLD.

THE TRIBAL COMMUNITY IN THE

AFTER BEING BATTERED BY HEAVY

RAIN FOR WEEKS.

OPERATION BLESSING'S MEDICAL

TEAM OF DEDICATED STAFF,

DOCTORS, NURSES AND VOLUNTEERS

MADE THE SIX HOUR JOURNEY.

THE PROGRAM DIRECTOR SAID THE

AREA WAS DIFFICULT TO GET

THROUGH BECAUSE OF KNEE-DEEP

MUD AND RAGING RIVERS, BUT HE

SAID THE LORD MADE A WAY FOR

THEM TO CROSS THE DEEP RIVER BY

MAKING IT SHALLOWER BEFORE

THEIR EYES WHILE IT WAS STILL

RAINING.

> TRAVELING THE WORLD AND

BECOMING A HOLLYWOOD ACTRESS,

RENEE SILVESTRI HAD BIG DREAMS

. TO HER SURPRISE, THOSE DREAMS

CAME TRUE.

WHY WASN'T SHE HAPPY?

WHY WASN'T EVERYTHING EVER

ENOUGH?

TAKE A LOOK.

MY NINTH BIRTHDAY I GOT A

DIARY.

IN THE DIARY I WROTE, I AM

GOING TO BE A FLIGHT ATTENDANT,

TRAVEL THE WORLD AND MY LIFE

WILL BE WONDERFUL.

Reporter: IT WAS MORE THAN A

LIFESTYLE RENEE SILVESTRI WAS

AFTER, IT WAS AN ESCAPE.

SHE GREW UP IN A SMALL TOWN

JUST OUTSIDE CHICAGO.

THE MIDDLE CHILD OF THREE

SISTERS, IT SEEMED NOTHING SHE

DID WOULD PLEASE HER STRICT

GERMAN MOTHER.

LOVE OR FEELING LOVE WAS NOT

SOMETHING THAT WAS PART OF THE

M.O.

IN THE HOUSE.

IT WAS MORE THE CHORES AND THE

DISCIPLINE AND MAKING SURE YOU

DIDN'T DO ANYTHING WRONG.

I DEFINITELY FELT THAT I HAD TO

BE PERFECT.

IF I DID SOMETHING, IF I

SLIPPED UP, THERE WOULD BE A

CONSEQUENCE.

Reporter: IN HER DIARY,

RENEE WROTE OF HER DREAMS, A

LIFE THAT WOULD GIVE HER AN

ESCAPE PLAN MORE.

I WILL LIVE IN LONDON.

AND THEN I WILL GET DISCOVERED

ON AN AIRPLANE AND I WILL START

ACTING.

THIS IS WHAT I SET BEFORE

MYSELF TO ESCAPE MY SAD LIFE.

I THOUGHT, ONCE I GET OUT OF

THERE, THEN I WILL BE LOVED, I

WILL BE ADORED AND PEOPLE WILL

PAY ATTENTION TO ME.

Reporter: WHEN RENEE WAS 14,

HER PARENTS DIVORCED.

HER FATHER MOVED TO ANOTHER

STATE AND REMARRIED.

I JUST FELT LIKE, WOW, HE

JUST REPLACED THE FAMILY.

Reporter: AFTER HIGH SCHOOL,

RENEE ACHIEVED HER GOAL OF

BECOMING A FLIGHT ATTENDANT AND

TRAVELING THE WORLD.

FIVE YEARS LATER AT 23, SHE MET

FAMED ACTOR AND DIRECTOR DENNIS

HOPPER ON A FLIGHT.

AS IF ON CUE, HE GAVE HER A

PART IN HIS UPCOMING MOVIE.

WITHIN WEEKS, SHE WAS LIVING

THE LIFE OF A HOLLYWOOD

ACTRESS.

I WAS AFTER A BIT PART ON

"90210" AND ANOTHER JOB, AGAIN,

ON "MELROSE PLACE".

I KEPT GETTING THESE GREAT

LITTLE ROLES BUT IT WAS NOT

MAKING ME FEEL COMPLETE.

THAT KEPT ME ON ANOTHER JOURNEY

OF, SURELY, IF I GET MARRIED, I

WILL FEEL FULFILLED.

Reporter: A FEW YEARS LATER,

RENEE MARRIED A WEALTHY

BUSINESSMAN IN THE JEWELRY

TRADE.

I HAD SO MUCH INSECURITY

BUILT INTO MYSELF FROM GROWING

UP THAT I WANTED TO FEEL SAFE,

LOVED AND ADORED.

Reporter: THEN SHE HAD A SON

AND IT APPEARED ALL OF RENEE'S

DREAMS WERE COMING TRUE.

I SHOULD HAVE BEEN SO HAPPY,

BUT I WASN'T.

IT WAS ABOUT MY THINGS.

IT WAS ABOUT MY STATUS.

IT WAS ABOUT MY HOME AND MY

LIFESTYLE.

THAT TELL NARCISSISTIC MY WORLD

WAS.

Reporter: SO HER CHEST

SEARCH FOR FULFILLMENT

CONTINUED AND SHE LEFT HER

HUSBAND FOR ANOTHER MAN.

I THOUGHT, SURELY THIS MAN

LOVES ME MORE AND WILL GIVE ME

MORE LOVE AND ADORATION AND

MORE SAFETY.

Reporter: EVENTUALLY, RENEE

GAVE UP ACTING.

OVER THE NEXT 13 YEARS SHE

WOULD MARRY AND DIVORCE THREE

MORE TIMES AND HAVE ANOTHER

SON.

SHE NEVER FOUND THE LOVE AND

SAFETY SHE CRAVED.

I WAS JUST SO TIRED OF THE

ACT AND THE CIRCUS I WAS

LIVING.

I HAD BEEN THROUGH ALL OF THOSE

MARRIAGES AND THAT WHOLE BIG

LIFE.

IT JUST WASN'T FULFILLING FOR ME

LIKE I THOUGHT IT WOULD BE.

Reporter: BY 2014, RENEE WAS

LIVING ON HER OWN, RAISING HER

TWO SONS, NOW AGES 10 AND 18.

EVERYTHING WAS AT THE LOWEST

POINT OF MY LIFE RIGHT THEN.

I WAS JUST BEAT DOWN.

WE WERE IN THIS HOUSE ON A

HILL.

EVERY TIME I DROVE TO THE

BOTTOM OF THE HILL, I NOTICED

THIS CHURCH.

I JUST KEPT FEELING LIKE I WAS

SUPPOSED TO GO IN IN THAT

CHURCH.

Reporter: ONE SUNDAY, WHEN

HER BOYS WERE WITH THEIR DADS,

SHE DECIDED TO GO.

THE MINUTE I WALKED IN

THERE, I JUST FELT LIKE I NEVER

WANTED TO LEAVE THAT SANCTUARY.

THE LYRICS, THE MUSIC, I JUST

FELT LIKE THESE ARE MY PEOPLE.

Reporter: DRAWN BY THE

COMMUNITY OF LOVE AND

ACCEPTANCE, SHE STARTED TAKING

HER SONS TO CHURCH EVERY WEEK.

A FEW MONTHS LATER, RENEE WENT

FORWARD FOR PRAYER AND TOLD A

WOMAN SHE WAS AT HER END.

I WAS THAT SUCH A LOW.

AND SHE SAID, IT DOESN'T

MATTER.

JUST TELL ME WHAT'S GOING ON.

I TOLD HER.

SHE SAID, DON'T YOU KNOW THAT

GOD LOVES YOU?

I HAD NEVER HEARD THAT BEFORE.

ICOULD NOT EVEN ACCEPT THAT.

SHE SAID, LET ME PRAY FOR YOU.

Reporter: EVEN THEN, RENEE

HAD A HARD TIME BELIEVING WHAT

SHE SAID.

HOW COULD GOD LOVE ME AFTER

I DID ALL THAT CRAZY STUFF.

I WENT FOR A WALK.

I SAY, ALL RIGHT, GOD, IF THIS

IS TRUE AND YOU LOVE ME, YOU'RE

GOING TO HAVE TO SHOW ME A

SIGN.

I GOT TO MY HOUSE.

I LOOKED DOWN.

I SEE THIS PERFECT HEART-SHAPED

LEAF.

IT FELT LIKE THE LORD WAS

SAYING, I LOVE YOU AND HERE IS

MY SIGN.

MY LIFE DRASTICALLY CHANGED

FROM THAT DAY FORWARD.

I FELT SO PEACEFUL, SO IN

CONTROL OF MY LIFE FOR THE

FIRST TIME.

I WASN'T FEEDING OFF OF SOMEONE

FOR THEIR LOVE.

I WAS FEELING THE PEACE AND

LOVE FROM GOD.

Reporter: IN 2017, RENEE

REMARRIED NANDO AND RECONCILED

WITH HER PARENTS.

SHE IS CURRENTLY TRAINING TO

BECOME A CHRISTIAN COUNSELOR

AND OFTEN SPEAKS TO WOMEN'S

GROUPS ABOUT JESUS.

HIS PEACE WILL COME OVER YOU

IF YOU JUST ASK HIM INTO YOUR

HEART.

HE WILL FORGIVE YOU OF ALL YOUR

SINS AND YOUR SHAME WILL BE

GONE BECAUSE IT'S ALL OKAY.

HE'LL FORGIVE IT ALL.

YOU CAN START FRESH.

WE ARE CREATED TO BE

RELATIONAL. WE ARE CREATED TO

BE RELATIONAL WITH THE ONE WHO

MADE US.

UNTIL WE COME TO THAT

UNDERSTANDING, WE SEARCH, WE

SEARCH AND WE SEARCH FOR

SOMETHING TO FILL THAT

EMPTINESS, THAT RESTLESSNESS

INSIDE OF US.

YOU KNOW, SOMETIMES WE GET INTO

RELATIONSHIPS WITH PEOPLE AND

JUST LIKE RENEE EXPERIENCED, WE

MOVED FROM PERSON TO PERSON TO

PERSON BECAUSE IT IS NEVER

SATISFYING.

IT IS NEVER ENOUGH.

WE KNOW WHO WE ARE INSIDE.

WE KNOW WHAT IS LOVABLE AND NOT

LOVABLE.

IN ADDITION TO THAT, WE LOOK

FOR THINGS TO FILL THAT HOLE.

IT MIGHT BE FAME, IT MIGHT BE

MONEY, IT MIGHT BE DREAMS WE

HAD OF THINGS WE WANT TO DO.

SOMETIMES, WE ACTUALLY GET

THOSE THINGS.

WE FIND THERE IS NO

CONTENTMENT.

THERE IS NO PEACE.

THERE IS NOTHING THAT FILLS THE

WHOLE BECAUSE WE WERE CREATED

IN A WAY THAT ONLY GOD CAN FILL

IT. THERE IS INJURED EMPTINESS

INSIDE OF US UNTIL WE FIND HIM.

HE DOESN'T HAVE TO FIND US.

HE IS ALWAYS THERE.

TE BIBLE SAYS HE STANDS AT THE

DOOR OF OUR HEARTS AND KNOX

UNTIL WE HAVE AN AWAKENING AND

WE SAY, GOD, I WANT YOU TO COME

INTO MY HEART.

I WANT YOU TO BE THE SAVIOR OF

MY SOUL.

I WANT YOU TO BE MY LORD.

I WANT YOU DID TO TAKE OVER MY

LIFE.

I WANT TO BE FILLED WITH YOUR

SPIRIT.

THAT IS WHAT HAPPENED TO RENEE.

I CAN HAPPEN FOR YOU, TOO.

THE THING THAT OFTEN KEEPS US

FROM DOING THAT IS THAT WE

DON'T LIKE OURSELVES VERY MUCH

BECAUSE WE KNOW WHO WE REALLY

ARE.

HOW CAN GOD LOVE US?

HOW CAN WE ACCEPT THAT?

GOD'S LOVE FOR US IS NOT BASED

ON OUR PERFORMANCE.

IN FACT, YOU CAN'T DO ANYTHING

TO EARN IT.

HE JUST LOVES US.

WE ARE HIS CREATION.

WE ARE HIS CHILDREN.

THE BIBLE SAYS HE DOESN'T WANT

ONE OF US TO PERISH.

HE HAS CREATED ETERNITY FOR US

TO BE WITH THEM.

JESUS CAME AND PAID THE PRICE

FOR YOUR SINS AND FOR MINE.

SO THAT WE COULD BE WITH HIM

FOREVER WHEN WE LEAVE THIS

PLACE AND GO ON TO THE NEXT.

THERE IS A NEXT. GOD DOES NOT

WANT YOU TO MISS OUT ON THAT.

IF YOU HAVE NEVER INVITED

CHRIST INTO YOUR HOUSE AND YOUR

LIFE, DO WHAT RENEE DID.

JUST SAY, JESUS, I WANT YOU.

I WANT TO KNOW YOU.

I WANT YOU TO FORGIVE ME.

FORGIVE ALL THE FOOLISH CHOICES

I HAVE MADE, ALL THE MISTAKES

I HAVE CREATED AND DONE, ALL

THE PEOPLE I HAVE HURT.

ALL THE THINGS I HAVE BROUGHT

UPON MYSELF, I AM ASKING YOU TO

FORGIVE THEM.

I AM ASKING FOR A NEW BEGINNING

FROM YOU.

JESUS, BE THE LORD OF MY LIFE,

THE SAVIOR OF MY SOUL AND HOLY

SPIRIT, COME AND LIVE IN ME.

TEACH ME HOW TO LIVE FOR YOU,

WITH YOU AND HOW TO LET YOU

LIVE IN ME.

IT IS FREE, FRIEND.

IT IS FREE.

GOD LOVES YOU. IF YOU NEED TO

PRAY WITH SOMEONE ABOUT

SOMETHING SPECIFIC TODAY, WE

ALWAYS HAVE PEOPLE WHO KNOW AND

LOVE THE LORD STANDING BY TO

TAKE YOUR CALL.

IT IS TOLL-FREE, 1-800-700-

7000.

WE WANT TO LEAVE YOU TODAY WITH
