LET'S GO OVER TO THE CBN NEWS

DESK FOR TODAY'S TOP STORIES.

Reporter: CHICAGO POLICE SAY

THEY HAVE A PERSON OF INTEREST

IN CUSTODY IN THE MASS SHOOTING

AT A FOURTH OF JULY PARADE

MONDAY.

SIX WERE KILLED AND DOZENS WERE

WOUNDED IN THE ATTACK.

MATT GALKA HAS THE LATEST.

Reporter: THE PANIC AND THE

TERROR ON FULL DISPLAY DURING A

FOURTH OF JULY CELEBRATION IN

ILLINOIS.

YOU CAN HEAR WHAT SOUNDED LIKE

NEVER ENDING GUNFIRE AS SIX

WERE KILLED AND DOZENS MORE

WERE HURT IN HIGHLAND PARK

DURING THE DAYTIME FOURTH OF

JULY PARADE.

PANICKED PARENTS DID ANYTHING

THEY COULD TO TRY TO PROTECT

THEIR CHILDREN.

THE SHOTS STOPPED AGAIN, WE

DECIDED TO RUN.

HE STARTED SHOOTING AGAIN AND

WE WENT BEHIND A BUILDING.

I PUT MY SON IN A DUMPSTER.

I LOOKED BEHIND MY DAD AND

THIS GIRL JUST FELL.

SHE JUST DIED.

Reporter: A GUNMAN STARTED

FIRING INTO THE CROWD OF PARADE

WATCHERS AROUND 10:00, TURNING

THE INDEPENDENCE DAY

CELEBRATION INTO A MASS

SHOOTING.

THE FBI IS HELPING TO

INVESTIGATE HOW AND WHY THE

SUSPECT STARTED FIRING FROM A

ROOFTOP IN THE CHICAGO SUBURB.

HE THEN MANAGED TO GET AWAY

DURING THE CHAOS.

POLICE IDENTIFIED ROBERT E.

CRIMO III AS A PERSON OF

INTEREST FOLLOWING THE SHOOTING

AND HE WAS TAKEN INTO CUSTODY

MONDAY EVENING AFTER A BRIEF

TASTE BY POLICE.

THESE ARE THE KINDS OF

INJURIES THAT WE ARE SEEING

MORE.

THESE POOR KIDS AND FAMILIES

WHO WENT TO A PARADE AND, YOU

KNOW, PEOPLE DO NOT FEEL YOU

CAN GO ANYWHERE.

Reporter: THE DEVASTATING

SCENE AT THE PARADE SHOWED THE

AFTERMATH OF WHAT WAS MEANT TO

BE A CELEBRATION OF FAMILIES

AND FREEDOM.

VICTIMS BEING TREATED RANGED

FROM CHILDREN TO SENIOR

CITIZENS, ANYWHERE FROM 8 TO

85.

THE TRAGEDY LED TO SOME TOWNS

AROUND THE COUNTRY TO CANCEL

THEIR FESTIVITIES OUT OF FEAR

AND CAUTION.

THERE ARE NO WORDS FOR THE

KIND OF EVIL THAT SHOWS UP AT A

PUBLIC CELEBRATION OF FREEDOM,

HIDES ON A ROOF, AND SHOOTS

INNOCENT PEOPLE WITH AN ASSAULT

RIFLE.

Reporter: THE SHOW WENT ON

IN PHILADELPHIA, WHERE ANOTHER

SHOOTING SENT A CROWD OF

THOUSANDS INTO A FRENZY.

POLICE SAY TWO OFFICERS WERE

HIT DURING A CONCERT AND

FIREWORKS EVENT.

AUTHORITIES WERE BAFFLED ABOUT

WHERE THE GUNFIRE CAME FROM.

BOTH OFFICERS WERE RELEASED

FROM THE HOSPITAL OVERNIGHT.

MATT GALKA, CBN NEWS.

TURNING TO THE TRAVEL

TROUBLES MANY AMERICANS

EXPERIENCE.

CHAOTIC SCENES AT AIRPORTS AS

THEY STRUGGLED TO COPE WITH THE

HIGH VOLUME OF TRAVELERS.

AIRLINES CANCELED ABOUT 1000

FLIGHTS AND NEARLY 9000 WERE

DELAYED FRIDAY AND SATURDAY.

STAFFING SHORTAGES WAS ONE OF

THE MAIN TROUBLES.

FRIDAY SAW THE BIGGEST CROWDS

SINCE THE PANDEMIC BEGAN.

TSA REPORTED SCREAMING ABOUT

2.5 MILLION PEOPLE.

> SECURITY CHECKS -- ADVANCES

IN TECHNOLOGY MIGHT CHANGE

THAT.

IT WILL INCREASE NATIONAL

SECURITY.

CAITLIN BURKE HAS THIS LOOK AT

WHAT IS BEING CALLED "THE TSA

OF THE FUTURE.".

MARK THE TERROR ATTACKS LEFT AN

IMMEDIATE CHANGE IN AIR TRAVEL

BUT IT TOOK SECURITY MEASURES.

THERE ARE EVENTS THAT HAVE

HAPPENED.

WE HAD A BOMBER THAT CHANGED

THE WAY WE LOOKED AT PEOPLE

STRANDING.

WE HAVE THE SHOE BOMBER.

THERE ARE ALWAYS EVENTS THAT

TOOK PLACE.

THERE IS A LOT OF REACTIVE

APPROACHES.

Reporter: BY BEING

PROACTIVE, THE TSA AND ITS

PARTNERS HAVE WORKED TO STAY

AHEAD OF POTENTIAL THREATS.

WE NEED TO BE INNOVATIVE AND

WE NEED TO COME UP WITH NEW

METHODS OF IMPROVING SECURITY

BECAUSE -- THEY ARE LOOKING AT

NEW WAYS TO DEFEAT WHAT WE

HAVE.

Reporter: HE WORKS AT THE

U.S. DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY AT A

LABORATORY.

ONE OF ITS MISSIONS IS NATIONAL

SECURITY AND RESEARCHERS ARE

BEHIND MANY OF THE SCREENING

TECHNOLOGY AT AIRPORTS TODAY.

WHEN YOU GO THROUGH WITH

YOUR HANDS ABOVE YOUR HEAD,

THAT CAME OUT OF OUR

LABORATORY.

Reporter: THEY USE SPECIAL

TECHNOLOGY.

THE BASICS TECHNOLOGY AND

THE BASIC INVENTION CAME OUT OF

THE 1980S.

WE HAVE HAD THAT TECHNOLOGY

AVAILABLE SINCE THE 1990S.

NOW, THERE IS MORE NEED FOR

COMMERCIAL DEPLOYMENT AT

AIRPORTS BECAUSE AIRPORT

SECURITY WAS VERY DIFFICULT.

Reporter: THEN 9/11

CATAPULTED TECHNOLOGY TO THE

FOREFRONT OF NATIONAL SECURITY.

THAT IS THE OLDER GENERATION

OF TECHNOLOGY THAT IS CURRENTLY

BEING SOLD, EVEN TODAY, AT

AIRPORTS.

Reporter: THE SECOND

GENERATION SYSTEM IS CLOSE TO

BEING DEPLOYED.

IT WORKS BY YOU WALK THROUGH

A PORTAL AND IT USES RADIO

FREQUENCIES IN REAL-TIME 3-D

IMAGING.

WE CAN DETERMINE IF AN

INDIVIDUAL HAS A THREAT ON

THEIR BODY.

WE HAVE TRAINED THEM TO LOOK AT

CERTAIN OBJECTS.

YOUR PHONE, YOUR KEYS, YOUR

BELT, YOUR WALLET, GLASS --

THEY DEVELOPED IT AND THEY

SAY THE KEY TO ALL THIS IS THE

ABILITY TO DETECT NONMETALLIC

THREATS.

THERE ARE PEOPLE TRYING TO

DEFEAT THE SYSTEM, TO DO HARM

BY BEING MORE CREATIVE, USING 3-

D PLASTIC GUNS AND EXPLOSIVES.

Reporter: THEY OF LICENSED A

SHOE SCANNING TECHNOLOGY THAT

CAN BE USED INSTEAD OF EXISTING

BODY SCANNERS.

IMAGINE IF YOU DO NOT HAVE

TO TAKE YOUR SHOES OFF AT THE

AIRPORT.

THAT IS PROBABLY AT THE TOP OF

THE LIST.

Reporter: WHILE THIS

TECHNOLOGY IS A FEW YEARS AWAY,

THE SYSTEM WILL SOON BE

DEPLOYED TO AVIATION WORKERS

WHO ACCESS SECURE AREAS OF

AIRPORTS.

AFTER THAT, THE GOAL IS FOR IT

TO BE USED AT ALL SECURITY

CHECKPOINTS, ALLOWING TRAVELERS

TO PASS THROUGH WITHOUT

BREAKING STRIDE.

> PROTECTING FREEDOM IS A

BEDROCK PRINCIPLE OF AMERICA'S

FOUNDATION.

THE U.S. SUPREME COURT RECENTLY

ISSUED SEVERAL RULINGS

PRESERVING RELIGIOUS FREEDOM.

WHILE AMERICA IS FOUNDED ON

THIS FUNDAMENTAL RIGHT, IT ALSO

PROMOTES FREEDOM OF RELIGION

WORLDWIDE.

AN INTERNATIONAL COALITION MET

IN OUR NATION'S CAPITOL TO HELP

STOP THE RISING TIDE OF

RELIGIOUS PERSECUTION AROUND

THE GLOBE.

Reporter: AT THE NATION'S

CAPITOL, THERE ARE A FEW ISSUES

THAT UNITE THE POLITICAL

SPECTRUM.

ONE IS THE LIFE-CHANGING WORK

OF ENDING RELIGIOUS PERSECUTION

AROUND THE GLOBE.

BILLIONS DO NOT HAVE THE

ABILITY TO WORSHIP WITHOUT

BEING FORBIDDEN OR RESTRICTED.

CHURCH BOMBINGS ARE ALL TOO

ROUTINE IN CERTAIN AREAS.

IF WE DO NOT HAVE RELIGIOUS

FREEDOM AROUND THE WORLD FOR

EVERYBODY, EVERY TIME, ALL THE

TIME, AND GOVERNMENTS ENFORCE

THAT, YOU WILL HAVE A CLASH OF

CELEBRATIONS.

Reporter: THEY ARE BECOMING

THE FOCAL POINT FOR WORK TOWARD

A WORLD WHERE ALL PEOPLE CAN

WORSHIP WITHOUT FEAR.

VICTIMS' STORIES ARE

HEARTBREAKING.

I CAME FROM CHINA, BEIJING.

Reporter: HER FATHER WAS

KILLED FOR PRACTICING THIS

FAITH.

WHEN THEY GOT AXES TO HIS BODY,

THEY WERE SHOCKED.

THEY HARVESTED HIS ORGANS.

HE WAS STILL ALIVE.

I CANNOT IMAGINE WHAT HE HAD

SUFFERED BEFORE HE DIED.

STORES HAVE NEVER BEEN TOLD

BEFORE.

MANY ARE SUFFERING.

Reporter: THIS PERSECUTION

SURVIVOR RECALLS HER STORY AND

A NEW BOOK, "SHACKLED."

SHE SAYS SHE FELT SHE HAD TO

SHARE GOD'S WILL.

I CONTINUE TO TRUST IN GOD

THROUGH TRIALS AND I KNOW THAT

I CAN DO THIS BEFORE I GET

EXECUTED.

I THOUGHT I WOULD NEVER BE ABLE

TO SEE MY CHILDREN AGAIN.

TO COME OUT OF THE SITUATION

FEELS LIKE A MIRACLE.

MY CHILDREN CAN GO TO SCHOOL.

THEY CAN CONTINUE THEIR LIVES.

Reporter: U.S. LAW REQUIRES

THE COMMISSION ON INTERNATIONAL

RELIGIOUS FREEDOM TO MAINTAIN A

LIST OF PRISONERS OF CONSCIOUS

AROUND THE WORLD.

THE MOST IMPORTANT THING IS

TO PUT A HUMAN FACE ON THE

TRAGEDY.

Reporter: THIS RABBI SAYS

HATEFUL ANTI-SEMITISM TAUGHT IN

PARTS OF THE MIDDLE EAST HAS

BEEN EXPORTED TO THE WEST VIA

SOCIAL MEDIA.

HE POINTS TO RECENT EFFORTS BY

BEN & JERRY'S ICE CREAM, BASED

IN VERMONT, TO BOYCOTT THE

JEWISH STATE OF ISRAEL.

WHILE THE SUMMIT IS FOCUSED ON

PERSECUTION ABROAD, VICTIMS

URGED AMERICANS TO GUARD THEIR

FREEDOMS.

WE HAVE LIBERTIES BEING

TAKEN AWAY INCREMENTALLY.

IN MOST CASES, NOT OVERNIGHT.

Reporter: THEY SAY AMERICA

MUST REMAIN A BEACON FOR THE

WORLD.

WE CANNOT LOSE HOLD OF THIS.

Reporter: THIS RABBI SAYS

THERE IS A SLEEPING GIANT IN

AMERICA THAT COULD CHANGE

MILLIONS OF LIVES.

IF YOU CAN GET EVERY CHURCH

IN THE U.S. TO ADAPT ONE CHURCH

IN NIGERIA, JUST ONE CHURCH,

PEOPLE TO PEOPLE, THINGS WOULD

CHANGE THERE VERY QUICKLY.

IF WE WAIT FOR GOVERNMENTS, WE

WILL JUST KEEP WAITING AND

LOOKING AT THE BODY COUNT OF

THE FAITHFUL GOING UP.

Reporter: THE WORK CONTINUES

TO CHANGE POLICIES THAT ARE

HURTING SO MANY.

JENNIFER WISHON, CBN NEWS,

WASHINGTON.

WE HAVE THE LATEST FROM CBN

NEWS ON OUR WEBSITE,

CBNNEWS.COM.

GORDON AND TERRY WILL BE BACK

WITH MORE OF THE 700 CLUB RIGHT

AFTER THIS.

> A HOUSE OF PRAYER AND

HUNDREDS OF TREES AND A

VINEYARD.

ALL THIS AND MORE IS PART OF A

FARM IN THE HEART OF JUDEA.

THEY CALL IT THE WEST BANK AND

THE FOUNDERS SEE IT AS A

FULFILLMENT OF BIBLICAL

PROPHECY.

CHRIS MITCHELL BRINGS US THIS

FIRST-HAND LOOK.

Reporter: ON THESE HILLS NOT

FAR FROM JERUSALEM LIES THE

ARUGOT FARM.

FOR SIX YEARS, IT'S FOUNDERS

HAD BUILT A COMPLEX ON LAND

WHERE PREVIOUSLY THERE WAS

NOTHING BUT BARREN HILLS.

LOCATED IN JUDEA, ITS FOUNDERS

SEE THE PLACE AS THE BIBLE

COMING TO LIFE.

WE MET WITH TWO OF THEIR

FOUNDERS, ARI ABRAMOWITZ AND

JEREMY GIMPEL.

TELL US WHERE WE ARE.

WE ARE IN THE HEART OF THE

LAND OF JUDEA.

BETHLEHEM IS ABOUT 15 MINUTES

THAT WAY.

RIGHT OVER THERE, AS THOSE

BUILDINGS KISS THE SKY, THAT IS

JERUSALEM.

45 MINUTES THIS WAY IS HAVE

RON.

IF YOU TOURING THE LEAD THAT,

WE ARE IN THE HEART OF THE LAND

OF JUDEA.

THEY TALK ABOUT THE

CONNECTION TO KING DAVID.

ACCORDING TO THE JEWISH

TRADITION, MOST OF THE BOOK OF

PSALMS WAS WRITTEN IN THESE

MOUNTAINS BEFORE DAVID BECAME

KING.

IN HIS TIME OF TROUBLE, HE WENT

TO THE PLACE HE KNEW BEST.

HE KNEW WHERE THE CAVES WERE.

HE KNEW HOW TO SURVIVE HERE.

THESE ARE HISTORIC, HOLY

MOUNTAIN.

Reporter: THEY CONSIDER THE

MOUNTAINS WHERE DAVID WROTE THE

PSALMS OCCUPIED TERRITORY AND

SEE THE JEWS LIVE THERE IN A

PLACE THEY CALLED THE WEST

BANK AS AN OBSTACLE TO PEACE.

WHY DO THEY CALL IT THE WEST

BANK?

IT IS EASIER TO SAY LET'S GET

THE SETTLERS OUT OF THE WEST

BANK THAN LET'S REMOVE THE JEWS

FROM JUDEA.

THE REASON JEWS ARE CALLED JEWS

IS BECAUSE WE ARE FROM JUDEA.

THIS IS INDIGENOUS LAND FOR US.

THE FIRST JEW WAS CALLED

MORDECAI.

HE WAS FROM THE TRIBE OF

BENJAMIN.

HE WAS CALLED A JEW BECAUSE HE

WAS EXILED FROM JUDEA.

THIS IS THE MOST NATURAL,

HOLISTIC PLACE FOR A JEW TO

GROW AND THRIVE.

Reporter: LOCAL LEADERS

ASKED THEM TO SETTLE THE LAND

TO CREATE A TOURIST ATTRACTION

AND A STRATEGIC BUFFER.

IT HAS BECOME MUCH MORE.

WHEN I CAME OUT HERE AFTER

JUST A FEW WEEKS, ALL OF THE

STRATEGY AND THE MILITARY, NONE

OF THAT MATTERED AT ALL.

FOR ME, AND I THINK FOR JEREMY,

WE ARE LIKE THIS IS WHAT IT IS

TO BE A JEW.

THIS IS JUST A PLACE WHERE IT

IS LIKE, OH, THIS IS THE MOST

NATURAL THING THAT COULD EVER

POSSIBLY HAPPEN.

WE FELT CALLED TO COME HERE

AND THEN PAVE THIS ROAD AND

OPEN THE PLACE UP WHERE THE

PSALMS WERE WRITTEN.

I MEAN, IMAGINE THAT.

KING DAVID TAUGHT EVERY

CATHOLIC IN THE WORLD, EVERY

CHRISTIAN IN THE WORLD, EVERY

JEW AND THE WORLD.

WHEN SOMEONE IS SICK, THEY OPEN

UP THE BOOK OF PSALMS AND HE

TAUGHT US HOW TO PRAY TO GOD.

THOSE PRAYERS ENTERED THE WORLD

HERE.

THIS PLACE HAS BEEN MEANT TO BE

A CENTER FOR PRAYER AND

WORSHIP AND SONG AND MUSIC AND

ART AND THE TORAH.

Reporter: THEY SAY THAT JEWS

AND ARABS CANNOT COEXIST BUT

THAT IS NOT THE CASE HERE.

IF YOU GO TO THIS VILLAGE

NEAR US AND YOU SAY TO THEM,

WHAT DO YOU THINK OF THESE JEWS

HERE?

THEY WILL SAY, THEY ARE BELOVED

FRIENDS OF OURS AND THEY ARE A

BLESSING.

THEY HAVE COME HERE AND THEY

HAVE SAID THEY WOULD STAND WITH

US.

Reporter: THIS IS THE TOP OF

THE MOUNTAIN.

ACCORDING TO JEWISH LAW, ON

THE TOP OF THE MOUNTAIN, YOU

NEED TO BUILD A STRUCTURE THAT

IS DEDICATED TO THE GOD MOST

HIGH.

SO, THIS IS OUR HOUSE OF PRAYER

AND IT HAS TAKEN US SEVEN YEARS

TO BUILD.

I CONSIDER THIS PLACE OF THE

DIAMOND IN THE CROWN OF

EVERYTHING WE HAVE DONE, IN THE

CROWN OF JUDEA.

THIS IS THE SOUL OF OUR PLACE,

RIGHT HERE.

WHAT IS SO BEAUTIFUL IS WE

ARE SURROUNDED BY MANY TYPES OF

PEOPLE, BUT THE MATTRESSES YOU

SEE HERE AND THE PILLOWS AN

HOUR HOUSE OF PRAYER WAS

DONATED TO US BY THE MUSLIM

ARAB VILLAGE DOWN HERE.

THEY APPRECIATED US COMING HERE

BECAUSE WHEN WE CAME HERE, WE

REPAVED THE ROADS THAT LEAD TO

THEIR VILLAGE.

POLICE OFFICERS ARE NOW

PATROLLING DOWN THE ROAD,

MAKING SURE PEOPLE ARE DRIVING

SAFER.

WE HAVE BEEN A BLESSING TO THIS

PLACE.

ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT

ELEMENTS OF THIS PLACE IS AS WE

ARE TALKING ABOUT THE PROFITS,

THEY SAID THEY WILL REMOVE FROM

US A HEART OF STONE AND PUT

WITHIN US UP HEART OF FLESH AND

CIRCUMCISE OUR HEARTS.

Reporter: THEY ALSO INCLUDE

SEVERAL HOMES AND A RETREAT

SPEAKER WITH HUNDREDS OF TREES

AND A VINEYARD.

THEY ALSO HAVE AN ON MIND BIBLE

STUDY CALLED THE LAND OF ISRAEL

FELLOWSHIP.

THE BOOK OF AMOS SERVES AS

THEIR BLUEPRINTS.

WE SEE THIS AS PROPHECY

COMING TO LIFE.

THIS IS PROPHECY.

THERE IS A VILLAGE OVER THERE

CALLED MA'AALE AMOS.

THIS IS IRREFUTABLY THE VERY

LAND IN WHICH THE PROPHET AMOS

MOS HAD HIS PROPHECY.

HE WAS ACTUALLY A COWBOY.

THE LAST THREE VERSES OF HIS

PROPHECY SAYS, I WILL RETURN

THE X-FILES OF MY PEOPLE AND

THEY WILL REBUILD DESOLAT

CITIES AND THEY WILL PLANT

VINEYARDS AND DRINK THEIR WINE

AND THEY WILL PLANT GARDENS

AND EAT THEIR FRUIT AND I WILL

PLANT THEM UPON THEIR LAND AND

THEY WILL NEVER BE UPROOTED

AGAIN.

HERE, WE HAVE VINEYARDS, RIGHT

IN THE VERY LAND IN WHICH HE

PROPHESIES AS THEM.

WE HAVE REBUILD CITIES AND

VINEYARDS AND FRUIT TREES AND I

WONDER, THIS BUILDING THAT HAS

BEEN BEEN HERE, WAS THIS

EXACTLY WHAT HE SAW?

WE BUILT IT BUT -- HE GUIDED US

TO PLANTS THAT.

I THINK THIS SUMMARIZES OUR

WHOLE MISSION.

IF YOU WANT TO KNOW WHAT OUR

BUSINESS PLAN IS, IT IS THE

BOOK OF AMOS.

HE SAID THEY WANT TO HEAR THE

WORD OF HASHEM.

EVERYTHING YOU DO IS TO SATISFY

THIS HUNGER THAT IS NOT FOR

BREAD AND NOT FOR WATER, BUT TO

HEAR THE WORDS OF GOD AND THEY

ARE ECHOING FROM THE MOUNTAINS

OF JUDEA TO THE ENTIRE WORLD.

CHRIS MITCHELL, JUDEA, THE

ARUGOT FARM.

THE WORDS OF GOD ARE

BECOMING REALITY, BECOMING

FLESH AND DWELLING AMONG US.

ISRAEL IS BECOMING A LIGHT TO

THE NATION AND SHOWING US HOW

WE CAN LIVE TOGETHER IN PEACE

AND HARMONY, BEING A LIGHT TO

ALL OF US, SHOWING US THE WAY.

WHAT A WONDERFUL STORY AND WHAT

A WONDERFUL FULFILLMENT OF

BIBLICAL PROPHECY.

MIRACLE AFTER THIS.

TRAINING COULD PREPARED HER FOR

WHAT SHE FACED THE MORNING SHE

WOKE UP TO FIND HER HUSBAND,

JIM, UNRESPONSIVE.

HE WAS FOAMING AT THE MOUTH

WITH A GRAYISH LOOK ON HIS

FACE.

HIS CONDITION WENT FROM BAD TO

WORSE WITHIN A FEW SECONDS.

Reporter: IT WAS ONLY IN THE

MORNING WHEN SHE WAS AWAKENED

BY HER HUSBAND, WHO WAS MAKING

STRANGE NOISES.

I SAID, HEY, YOU DID NOT

WEAR YOUR CPAP.

THAT IS WHEN A CRITICAL CARE

NURSE FOR 26 YEARS PULLED OPEN

THE CURTAINS TO CHECK ON HIM.

HE WAS MILDLY PURPLE.

HIS EYES WERE OPEN, DARTED TO

THE UPPER LEFT-HAND SIDE.

I GAVE HIM A QUICK SLAP ON HIS

CHEEK.

HE WOULD NOT RESPOND TO ME.

AT THAT MOMENT, I THOUGHT HE

WAS HAVING A STROKE.

SHE SHOUTED TO HER DAUGHTER

TO CALL 911.

SECONDS LATER --

I SAW HIS EYES ROLL BACK AND

JUST LIKE HAVING THIS GLAZED

LOOK ON HIS FACE.

I FELT FOR A PULSE AND THERE

WAS NO PULSE.

SHE REALIZED THE SIGNS DID

NOT VOTE TO A STROKE BUT TO A

HEART ATTACK.

SHE AND HER DAUGHTER LOWERED

JIM TO THE FLOOR AND THEY

STARTED CPR.

I KNEW I WAS LOSING HIM WITH

EACH MINUTE THAT WAS PASSING

BY.

AFTER A FEW CHEST

COMPRESSIONS, HIS TONGUE

SLIPPED BACK, BLOCKING HIS

AIRWAY.

THEY FORCED THE AIRWAY CLEAR.

SHE CONTINUED TO GIVE CPR,

PRAYING SHE WOULD GET A PULSE.

I REMEMBER -- THIS IS NOT

HOW I WANT HIM TO GO.

THIS IS THE LAST TIME I AM

GOING TO SEE HIM LIKE THIS.

EVERY MINUTE COUNTS WHEN YOU DO

NOT HAVE A PULSE.

LATER, WHEN PARAMEDICS

ARRIVED AND SHOCKED HIS HEART,

THEY SHOWED HE WAS IN V-FIB,

MEANING HIS PULSE WAS WEAK AND

ERRATIC.

SHE KNEW IT WAS A PRECURSOR TO

CARDIAC ARREST.

THE FIRST THING THAT CAME TO

MY MIND WAS I FELT LIKE I HAD

ALREADY LOST HALF OF HIM.

THE CHANCES OF HIM COMING BACK

WAS VERY -- IT WAS TINY.

Reporter: EMTS SHOCK TO JIM

AGAIN YET COULD NOT GET A

STEADY HEARTBEAT.

I REMEMBER TAKING A STEP

BACK TOWARDS THE DOOR BECAUSE I

WAS LIKE, OH, HE IS GONE.

THEN A THIRD SHOCK GAVE JIM

A SMALL, STEADY PULSE.

'S RIGHT HAND CAME UP TO HIS

CHEST, LIKE QUESTIONING HIS

CHEST AND PAIN.

THIS GAVE ME HOPE BECAUSE I

KNEW THAT WAS PURPOSEFUL

MOVEMENT.

HE WAS RUSHED TO SANTA ROSA

MEMORIAL HOSPITAL.

EVEN THOUGH AILYN WORKED AT THE

SAME HOSPITAL, SHE WAS NOT

ALLOWED TO GO IN BECAUSE OF

COVID RESTRICTIONS.

SHE STAYED HOME AND STARTED

TEXTING FAMILY AND FRIENDS TO

PRAY FOR HER HUSBAND.

MY GREATEST WORRY WAS WHAT

IF HE HAS BRAIN DAMAGE?

WHAT IF HE BECOMES PARALYZED?

WHAT IF HE BECOMES DEPENDENT ON

A VENTILATOR AND HAS TO BE

INSTITUTIONALIZED?

I WAS JUST NUMB AT THIS MOMENT.

I REALLY DO NOT FEEL LIKE IT

WAS HAPPENING.

I COULD NOT BELIEVE WHAT WAS

GOING ON.

I WAS JUST STANDING THERE AND I

COULD NOT PROCESS IT, THAT THIS

WAS HAPPENING.

Reporter: LATER, THEY

INFORMED HER THAT JIM WAS

STABLE AND AWAKE.

ALTHOUGH HIS ARTERIES WERE

CLEAR, THEY HAD TO PUT HIM ON

MEDICATION TO MAKE SURE HIS

HEARTBEAT REMAINED STEADY.

THAT AFTERNOON, THE TWO WERE

ABLE TO FACE TIME WITH EACH

OTHER.

THAT WAS PROBABLY ONE OF OUR

HAPPIEST MOMENTS, TO TALK TO

HIM OVER THE PHONE BECAUSE THAT

WAS MY GREATEST CONCERN AND

FEAR, THE DAMAGE TO HIS BRAIN.

HE WAS MAKING SENSE.

HE STILL NEEDED PRAYER.

UNSURE OF WHAT CAUSED THE

ATTACK, DOCTORS TOOK HIM OFF

MEDICATION AND WANTED TO SEE IF

HE WOULD GO INTO V-FIB AGAIN.

I SAT ON THE FLOOR OF OUR

KITCHEN FLOOR. THAT IS WHEN I

SOBBED.

THAT WAS THE FIRST TIME I

ACTUALLY CRIED THAT NIGHT.

I WAS SO SCARED THAT HE WAS

GOING TO ARREST AGAIN, EVEN IF

HE WAS IN THE ICU.

IT WAS NO GUARANTEE THEY WERE

GOING TO GET HIM BACK.

YOU MADE IT THROUGH THE

NIGHT WITHOUT INCIDENT.

I FELT REALLY WEAK WHEN I

WOKE UP.

SOMEHOW, I JUST GAVE IT TO THE

LORD.

I SAID, LORD, YOU ARE IN

CONTROL.

'S DOCTORS DETERMINED THERE

WAS AN ELECTRICAL ISSUE WITH

HIS HEART.

THE NEXT DAY, THEY TRANSFERRED

HIM TO A DIFFERENT HOSPITAL,

WHERE HE WAS FITTED FOR A

PACEMAKER AND DEFIBRILLATOR TO

PREVENT FURTHER ATTACKS.

ON JULY 18th, JUST THREE DAYS

AFTER THE INCIDENT, HE WAS

RELEASED TO GO HOME.

GOD LITERALLY PLUCKED ME OUT

OF THE JAWS OF DEATH.

I JUST FEEL BLESSED.

I FEEL LOVED BY THE LORD.

I FEEL LOVED -- MY FAMILY LOVES

ME AND GOD IS IN CONTROL.

FOR HIM TO ACTUALLY COME

HOME AND TO PHYSICALLY SEE HIM

COME HOME WAS A JOYFUL PART OF

THE JOURNEY.

WE WERE JUST SO EXCITED.

I GUESS BECAUSE WE KNEW A

COUPLE DAYS AGO HE WOULD HAVE

BEEN DEAD.

AT THE TIME OF THE ATTACK,

THEY WERE SUPPOSED TO BE

VACATIONING IN A REMOTE AREA OF

CROATIA, WHERE RESCUE HELP

COULD NOT REACH THEM IN TIME.

INSTEAD, THEY HAD STAYED HOME

BECAUSE COVID RESTRICTIONS HAD

FORCED THEM TO CANCEL THE TRIP.

WE DO NOT BELIEVE IN

COINCIDENCE.

IT WAS A MIRACLE.

LATER, HE WAS ENJOYING HIS

DAILY FIVE MILE WALKS, HIS

FAMILY, AND HIS LIFE, THEY

BELIEVE HE IS A WALKING MIRACLE

AND SHARE ABOUT GOD'S GOODNESS

EVERY CHANCE THEY GET.

GOD IS ALIVE.

GOD WORKS TODAY.

HE EXISTS.

HE WILL NEVER LEAVE YOU OR

FORSAKE YOU.

JUST TRUST HIM.

I WANT TO REMIND PEOPLE THAT

OUR GOD STILL REIGNS SUPREME.

NO MATTER WHAT THE NEWS TELLS

YOU, NO MATTER WHAT YOU SEE IN

THE WORLD, NO MATTER HOW COLD

THE WORLD SEEMS TO BE, THAT

DOES NOT CHANGE THE FACT THAT

HE IS STILL SOVEREIGN.

HE IS NOT JUST SOVEREIGN.

HE IS FOR YOU.

ISN'T THAT REMARKABLE?

I'M GOING TO GUESS THAT JIM AND

ILENE WERE PROBABLY FRUSTRATED

AND COMPLAINED ABOUT THE FACT

THAT COVID CAUSED THEIR TRIP TO

BE CANCELED, AND YET GOD WAS

THERE BEFORE IT EVEN HAPPENED.

HIS EYES ARE ON YOU AND HE

UNDERSTANDS YOUR NEED AND KNOWS

WHAT IS GOING OUT IN YOUR LIFE

WHEN YOU CRY OUT TO HIM.

HE ORCHESTRATED THEIR LIVES TO

BE IN A PLACE WHERE WHEN THIS

HAPPENS, THEY COULD GET HELP.

GOD LOVES YOU.

HE KNOWS YOU AND HE WANTS TO

WALK IN THE MIDST OF YOUR NEED

AND INTERVENE.

TODAY, WE WANT TO TAKE SOME

TIME TO PRAY WITH YOU AND WANT

TO ENCOURAGE YOU WITH OTHER

PEOPLE'S STORIES.

IT IS NOT JUST JIM AND ILENE

BUT OTHERS.

THIS PERSON LIVES IN TEXAS.

SHE LOST HER SENSE OF TASTE AND

SMELL OVER A YEAR AGO AND SHE

WAS WATCHING THIS PROGRAM ON

MARCH 1st THIS YEAR.

BEFORE PRAYING, GORDON

ENCOURAGED VIEWERS TO GET UP

AND GET SOME OIL FOR THE

PURPOSE OF ANOINTING.

IT WAS SIMPLY AN ACT OF

EXERCISING THEIR FAITH.

SHE GOT SOME OIL AND SHE PRAYED

WITH GORDON TO MANIFEST

HEALING.

AFTER THE PRAYER, SHE WAS

THRILLED TO FIND SHE COULD

TASTE AND SMELL AGAIN.

SHE ALSO ANOINTED HER ARM THAT

SHE WAS HAVING TROUBLES WITH

AND IT WAS HEALED.

FAITH IS AN ACT.

WHAT GOD DOES -- HE IS LOOKING

TO SHOW HIMSELF.

WHAT IS HE LOOKING FOR?

HEARTS THAT ARE LOYAL TO HIM.

WHEN THE FRIENDS OF THE

PARALYZED MAN OPENED UP THE

ROOF AND LOWERED HIM DOWN IN

FRONT OF JESUS, THE BIBLE SAYS,

WHEN HE SAW THEIR FAITH --

ISN'T THAT AMAZING?

GOD IS LOOKING FOR FAITH.

WHEN HE SEES IT.

WHEN HE FINDS IT, HE SHOWS

HIMSELF STRONG.

SOMEONE FROM ARIZONA HAD A

PROBLEM SIX YEARS AGO.

THEY SAID EVERYTHING WAS FINE

BUT A YEAR LATER, SHE HAD A

PIECE OF CANDY AND ALL THE PAIN

CAME BACK.

SHE WAS WATCHING THE 700 CLUB

WHEN SHE HEARD TERRY SAY,

YOU'RE HAVING TROUBLE WITH

TEETH PAIN. EVERYTHING IS

MESSED UP.

NOTHING SEEMS TO HELP.

THERE IS NO MEDICATION THAT HAS

HELPED.

GOD IS TO RETAINING THAT OUT.

ALL OF THAT IS GONE.

BY FAITH, SHE RECEIVED THE WORD

AND THE PAIN LEFT IMMEDIATELY.

ISN'T THAT WONDERFUL?

THE PAIN COULD LEAVE

IMMEDIATELY.

LET'S DO WHAT THESE WONDERFUL

PEOPLE HAVE DONE.

LET'S SHOW GOD YOUR FAITH.

LAY YOUR HAND ON THAT AREA THAT

NEEDS HEALING.

TERRY AND I WILL AGREE WITH

YOU.

THE BIBLE SAYS WHEN TWO OR MORE

AGREE IN ANYTHING, IT SHALL BE

DONE FOR THEM BY MY FATHER IN

HEAVEN.

THESE ARE THE WORDS OF JESUS.

LET'S LEAN INTO THAT.

LET'S LEAN INTO HIS WORD AND

LET'S COME TO HIM IN FAITH.

WE AGREE AND GOD WILL DO ALL

THE REST.

PRAY WITH US.

LORD, GOD ALMIGHTY, WE COME TO

YOU.

WE COME TO YOU BELIEVING.

WE COME TO YOU BELIEVING THAT

YOU FORGIVE ALL OUR INIQUITIES

AND CLEANSE US FROM EVERYTHING

YOU HAVE EVER DONE.

YOU MAKE UP FOR ALL OUR

MISTAKES, ALL THE TIMES WE

MISSED THE MARK.

YOU HAVE COVERED THEM ALL.

NOW, YOU HEAL ALL OUR DISEASES.

WE BRING OUR PAIN TO YOU.

WE BRING OUR INFIRMITY. WE

BRING THE DOCTOR'S REPORT THAT

TELLS US THERE IS NO HOPE.

WE BRING IT ALL TO YOU.

FOR WITH YOU, THERE IS ALWAYS

HOPE.

THERE IS ALWAYS HEALING.

THERE IS ALWAYS RESTORATION.

STRETCH FORTH YOUR HAND TO DO

MIRACLES, MIRACLES, SIGNS, AND

WONDERS, FOR WE ASK IT NOW IN

JESUS' NAME.

THERE IS SOMEONE SUFFERING WITH

HEART FAILURE AND YOU SAW THAT

WONDERFUL STORY AND YOU THINK,

COULD THAT BE FOR ME? IT IS

LIKE A GREAT WAIT IS PRESSING

ON YOUR CHEST AND IT IS JUST

ENGULFING YOU.

IT IS HARD FOR YOU TO EVEN

BREATHE.

GOD IS HEALING YOUR HEART NOW.

HE IS RELIEVING EVERYTHING THAT

IS BLOCKED.

HE IS GIVING YOUR HEART MUSCLE

NEW STRENGTH AND IS ABLE TO

RESTORE THE WALL OF YOUR HEART

MUSCLE.

IN JESUS' NAME, BE HEALED.

LET YOUR ENERGY AND VITALITY

COME TO YOU RIGHT NOW, IN

JESUS' NAME.

SOMEONE HAS YOUR EARS

BURNING.

IT IS SO STRANGE.

THERE IS A BLOOD PRESSURE ISSUE.

THERE IS A BURNING FEELING ON

THE RIGHT SIDE AND GOD IS JUST

HEALING THAT FOR YOU.

THAT AND WHATEVER THE CAUSE OF

THAT IS, YOU WILL NOT

EXPERIENCE IT AGAIN.

SOMEONE ELSE IS HAVING

DIGESTION PROBLEMS AND IT BURNS

FROM YOUR STOMACH, ALL THE WAY

UP INTO YOUR ESOPHAGU.

IT IS GONE IN JESUS' NAME.

THERE IS SOMEONE OUT A GREAT

DEAL AND YOU HAVE DEVELOPED

LESIONS AND SKIN CANCER.

YOU HAVE ALREADY HAD A BIOPSY.

GOD IS HEALING YOU RIGHT NOW IN

JESUS' NAME.

YOU ARE BEING HEALED.

JUST SO YOU KNOW THAT YOU ARE

BEING HEALED, YOU GOT THIS

BECAUSE YOUR TRACK COACH WAS

OUT IN THE SUN FOR ALL OF THOSE

@HEALING YOU AND RESTORING YOUR

SKIN NOW.

IT IS THE BACK OF YOUR NECK AND

YOUR EARS AND YOUR FOREHEAD ALL

BEING RESTORED NOW IN JESUS'

NAME.

SOMEONE ELSE IS HAVING A

PROBLEM WITH YOUR RIGHT KNEE.

THERE IS A CLICK IN IT.

GOD IS ABLE TO RESTORE IT.

YOU ARE NOT EVEN PRAYING.

YOU ARE WONDERING, IS THAT FOR

ME?

> PAYCHECK TO PAYCHECK.

THAT IS HOW THEY LIVED FOR

YEARS.

TODAY, ALL OF THEIR BELONGINGS

ARE PAID FOR, FREE AND CLEAR.

THAT IS A GREAT THING.

HERE IS HOW A DINNER

CONVERSATION LED THEM TO A

TOTAL FINANCIAL TURNAROUND.

BETWEEN THE TWO OF THEM,

RETIRED SERGEANT JESUS MENDEZ

AND HIS WIFE, JOSIE, HAVE OVER

40 YEARS OF SERVICE.

JESUS IN THE ARMY AND JOSIE AS

A TEACHER.

NOW THAT THEY ARE RETIRED, THEY

ARE STILL SERVING OTHERS AND

ENJOYING LIFE TO THE FULLEST.

WE ARE INVOLVED WITH THE

GIDEON MINISTRY AND IT IS JUST

WONDERFUL TO WORK FOR THE LORD.

JESUS LIKES TO GO, GO, GO, SO,

WE GO.

WHEN YOU ARE BLESSED, YOU

ARE SUPPOSED TO BLESS OTHERS.

YEARS AGO, THINGS WERE NOT

SO ROSY.

THEY WERE STRUGGLING TO MAKE

ENDS MEET FOR THEIR FAMILY OF

FIVE.

AS CHRISTIANS, THEY KNEW ABOUT

TITHING BUT WERE NOT SURE THEY

COULD GIVE 10%.

WE WERE LIVING FROM PAYCHECK

TO PAYCHECK.

THERE IS NOT A LOT EXTRA TO GO

AROUND.

THEIR CHURCH HOSTED A

CONFERENCE AND REQUESTED

VOLUNTEERS TO HOUSE THE

VISITING FAMILIES.

WHEN THEY TOOK IN A FAMILY OF

FOUR FROM BELGIUM, THE EVENING

TOOK AN UNEXPECTED TURN.

RIGHT AFTER WE SAT DOWN, FOR

SOME REASON OR ANOTHER, TITHING

CAME UP.

I SAID, OH, LORD, WHAT IS THIS?

WHEN I STARTED TITHING, I WAS

TITHING NOT THE WAY I SHOULD.

ALL THIS TIME, I AM THINKING

INSIDE, WELL, SOUNDS LIKE

MYSELF.

WHEN I STARTED TITHING

CORRECTLY, EVERYTHING HAS BEEN

GOING REALLY WELL FOR US.

SO, IT RANG A BELL IN MY HEART

AND I SAID, WELL, I'M GOING TO

HAVE TO TALK TO JOSIE.

HE IS A NUMBERS KIND OF

PERSON.

SO, YOU KNOW, WHEN HE CAME AND

TOLD ME WE ARE TITHING, I KNEW

IT HAD TO BE GOD.

THE VERY NEXT WEEK, THEY

STARTED TITHING 10% OF THEIR

GROSS INCOME.

THEIR FINANCES IMPROVED

IMMEDIATELY.

EVEN THOUGH WE WERE TITHING,

IT SEEMS LIKE THE BALANCE IN

OUR CHECKBOOK WAS NOT GOING

DOWN, BUT IT WAS GOING UP.

MANY TIMES, WE GOT CHECKS IN

THE MAIL THAT WE DID NOT

EXPECT.

THE LORD BLESSED US THAT WAY.

JESUS SAID THEY ALSO STARTED

WATCHING THE 700 CLUB.

I STARTED PAYING ATTENTION

TO PAT AND THE TEACHINGS ABOUT

TITHING THERE AND HOW PEOPLE

WERE BLESSED.

WE LEARNED TO NOT PUT GOD IN A

BOX, SO THAT WE COULD BE

BLESSED.

THEIR DECISION TO PASS THAT

BLESSING ONTO OTHERS HAPPENED

BY GETTING TO CBN.

THE 700 CLUB IS ALWAYS

PRESENT DURING A CRISIS.

THEY SHOW UP AND THEY HAVE

VOLUNTEERS HELPING PEOPLE.

THAT JUST TOUCHES MY HEART THAT

THERE IS A MINISTRY THAT IS

THERE, ALWAYS TO HELP THOSE IN

NEED.

OUR MONEY IS GOING OVERSEAS,

WHERE WATER IS NEEDED OR FOOD

IS NEEDED.

THAT IS AWESOME, THAT WE ARE

CONTRIBUTING, EVEN THOUGH WE

ARE NOT THERE.

JESUS CONTINUED TO EARN

PROMOTIONS UNTIL HE RETIRED AS

AN E7 SERGEANT FIRST CLASS.

HE ALSO MET A CHRISTIAN

FINANCIAL PLANNER, WHO HELPED

THEM TAKE THEIR MONEY EVEN

FURTHER.

THE HOME WAS PAID.

EVERYTHING THAT WE HAVE IS PAID

FOR AND THAT IS ALL BECAUSE OF

THE LORD.

THESE DAYS, THEY HAVE A

SECURE FUTURE AND THEY SAY IT

ALL BEGAN WITH ONE STEP.

IF YOU HAVE DOUBTS ABOUT

TITHING, JUST TRY IT.

YOU WILL SEE THAT GOD WILL COME

THROUGH FOR YOU.

WHAT A WONDERFUL FAMILY,

LIVING OUT THE PRINCIPLES THAT

GOD HAS PUT DOWN IN THE BIBLE

AND WHEN YOU LIVE IN ACCORDANCE

WITH WHAT HE TELLS YOU TO DO

AND WHAT HE EXPRESSLY TELLS YOU

TO DO, WONDERFUL THINGS CAN

HAPPEN.

IT IS NOT SOME KIND OF GET RICH

QUICK SCHEME.

IT IS A LIFETIME OF BLESSINGS,

KNOWING THAT GOD IS WITH YOU,

KNOWING THAT YOU FULFILLED HIS

REQUIREMENTS AND HE, IN TURN,

WILL FULFILL HIS PROMISE OVER

YOU, THAT HE WILL OPEN THE

WINDOWS OF HEAVEN AND POUR OUT

A BLESSING YOU CANNOT CONTAIN.

THIS IS NOT SOME KIND OF

PROSPERITY GOSPEL BUT IT IS THE

GOSPEL.

THE GOSPEL WANTS TO PROTECT YOU

AND WANTS TO WATCH OVER YOU AND

WANTS TO PROVIDE FOR ALL OF

YOUR NEEDS ACCORDING TO HIS

RICHES AND GLORY.

HOW DO YOU ACCESS IT?

YOU ACCESS IT THROUGH OBEDIENCE

AND YOU SAY I WANT IT GOD'S

WAY, NOT MY WAY.

IF HE TELLS ME TO GIVE, I WILL

DO IT GENEROUSLY AND DO IT

CHEERFULLY, FOR GOD LOVES A

CHEERFUL GIVER.

> UP NEXT, HE OWNS AN ICE

CREAM SHOP AND A CAR DEALERSHIP

AND A DRIVING RANGE AND PART OF

A MINOR-LEAGUE BASEBALL TEAM.

BUT HE ALSO HAS A HOT VIDEO ON

YOUTUBE.

HARD TO BELIEVE THAT THIS TWO-

TIME MASTERS CHAMPION ONCE

WANTED TO DIE.

HE WILL TELL US WHY AFTER THIS.

> TWO-TIME MASTERS CHAMPION

BUBBA WATSON IS A HOT COMMODITY

IN THE WORLD OF GOLF.

HE HAS ALSO EARNED A REPUTATION

AS A HOTHEAD FOR HIS

CONTROVERSIAL REMARKS ON THE

COURSE.

WHEN HE WAS AT THE TOP OF HIS

GAME, HE SUFFERED A MELTDOWN.

HE TOLD WILL DAWSON THAT HE

LOST 30 POUNDS.

HE ALSO THOUGHT HE WAS GOING TO

DIE.

HE IS ONE OF GOLF'S BIGGEST

NAMES, BUBBA WATSON.

THIS TWO-TIME MASTERS CHAMPION

IS KNOWN FOR HIS LONG DRIVES AN

EXCITING PERSONALITY.

IN HIS NEW BOOK, UP AND DOWN,

HE DISCUSSES BALANCING

CELEBRITY, FAMILY LIFE, AND

TRYING TO IMPERFECTLY FOLLOW

GOD'S CALL.

THAT IS THE REASON WHY I

WANTED TO COME OUT WITH THE

BOOK, TO SHARE WE ALL HAVE

ISSUES.

IF YOU DO NOT, YOU REALLY DO.

LET'S BE HONEST.

HE OWNS AN ICE CREAM SHOP, A

CAR DEALERSHIP, A DRIVING RANGE

AND HAS EVEN BECOME A PART

OWNER OF A MINOR-LEAGUE

BASEBALL TEAM.

LET'S START WITH YOUR LOVE

OF BASEBALL.

YOU WANTED TO BECOME A MAJOR-

LEAGUE BASEBALL PITCHER?

IT STARTED WITH MY BAG BEING

A YANKEES FAN.

DON MATTINGLY WAS THE FIRST

BASEMAN, LEFT-HANDED AND I WAS

LEFT-HANDED.

I WANTED TO BE LIKE HIM, MR.

BASEBALL.

I ALSO WANTED TO PITCH.

A FEW YEARS AFTER THAT, GOLF

STARTED.

HE SMALL -- IT WAS EARLY ON

THAT THEY LEARNED THAT HE HAD A

TALENT FOR GOLF.

PEOPLE STARTED TALKING IN MY

FAMILY ABOUT HOW FAR I COULD

HIT A GOLF BALL.

AS I IMPROVED, YOU CAN SEE MY

SKILL LEVEL WAS DIFFERENT FROM

OTHERS.

THAT IS WHEN IT STARTED, THE

BUZZ IN MY HEAD, WAIT, I HAVE A

SHOT AT THIS.

HE ACCEPTED A GOLF

SCHOLARSHIP TO THE UNIVERSITY

OF GEORGIA.

IT WAS THERE THAT HE MET HIS

NOW WIFE, ANGIE, WHO HAD AN

IMMEDIATE IMPACT ON HIS DESIRE

TO FOLLOW GOD.

WE STARTED TALKING ABOUT

CHURCH.

SHE GREW UP IN THE CHURCH AND I

TOLD HER I HAVE LITTLE FAITH.

I TOLD HER TO GO -- I WANTED TO

GO TO CHURCH AND I GAVE MYSELF

TO THE LORD AND THAT WAS IT.

THE SEED WAS PLANTED.

I SAID THE RIGHT THINGS BUT I

DID NOT REALLY WATER IT AND

WHEN I GOT TO GEORGIA AND I MET

HER, THAT IS WHEN IT REALLY

OPENED UP.

I AM STILL GROWING BUT IT HAS

BEEN AN AMAZING JOURNEY AND THE

REST IS HISTORY.

DURING THESE 20 YEARS, THEY

ENDURED SOME TRYING TIMES,

INCLUDING THE INABILITY TO

CONCEIVE A CHILD.

WHEN YOUR WIFE LOOKS AT YOU

AND SAYS, WHY CAN'T I BE THE

MOM -- THAT IS A HARD THING TO

ANSWER.

AND, AGAIN, GOD'S TIMING IS WAY

BETTER.

IN HIS TIMING, 2012, THEY

ADOPTED A BABY BOY NAMED CALEB

AND KNEW IMMEDIATELY HE WAS A

GIFT FROM GOD.

THE LADY ASKED, THE FIRST

THING SHE ASKED WAS, ARE YOU

GOING TO CHANGE HIS NAME?

I SAID, NO.

SHE SAID, I THINK HIS NAME --

IT IS A GREAT STORY IN THE

BIBLE.

I SAID, YES, MA'AM.

I SAID, I WOULD NEVER CHANGE

HIS NAME BECAUSE OF THE

BLESSING YOU'RE GIVING US.

AFTER BECOMING A FATHER, HE

WON ONE OF GOLF'S MOST

PRESTIGIOUS TOURNAMENTS, THE

MASTERS.

FROM AN OUTSIDER'S PERSPECTIVE,

HE HAD IT ALL.

HE HAD WON THE 2012 MASTERS, HE

HAD A GROWING FAMILY, AND A

LOVING FANBASE.

BUT BENEATH THE SURFACE, THE

PRESSURE WAS JUST BEGINNING TO

BUILD.

SEVERE BOUTS OF ANXIETY CAUSED

HIM TO BECOME WITHDRAWN AND

FEARFUL.

HE EVEN LOST 30 POUNDS.

YOU THOUGHT YOU WERE GOING TO

DIE?

YEAH, I FELT LIKE IT COULD

EASILY BE IT.

I LOOK AT THE SCALE AND I AM

162 AND JUST FALL ON MY KNEES

AND I AM BAWLING AND I SAID,

TAKE ME.

I DO NOT WANT TO GO THROUGH

THIS.

PRAYING, JUST TAKE ME.

WHAT YOU WANT ME TO DO WITH MY

LIFE?

I WAS LIKE, I WILL QUIT GOLF.

IF THIS WILL CAUSE ME TO BE

THIS WAY, I AM DONE WITH GOLF.

I WOULD RATHER BE PHYSICALLY

HEALTHY THAN OUT.

THAT IS WHAT GOT ME OFF THE

GROUND, THINKING ABOUT, WAIT,

IF GOD TELLS ME NOW -- IF HE

CAME UP IN 10 MINUTES, WILL I

SIT ON MY BED AND POUT OR WILL

I DO SOMETHING?

HE CONTINUES TO GROW IN HIS

RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD, EVEN

THROUGH MOMENTS HE SAYS HE IS

NOT PROUD OF.

THERE IS ONE PARTICULAR

MOMENT THAT I CAN REMEMBER

WHERE I SAID SOME CHOICE WORDS

AND I GOT CAUGHT ON CAMERA AND

MY TEAM HIT ME FAST.

I WENT INTO THE MEDIA CENTER

AND THEY ASKED ME RIGHT AWAY --

THEY SAID, YOUR LANGUAGE.

YOU CALL YOURSELF A CHRISTIAN

AND I SAID I WANT TO THANK YOU.

I WANT TO THANK YOU BECAUSE

THAT IS HOW I GET BETTER.

IF YOU DO NOT CALL ME OUT,

CANNOT GET BETTER.

WE WILL ALL HAVE MOMENTS.

SINCE '10, WHEN I WON AND GOING

FORWARD AND MORE WINS AFTER

THAT, IT JUST MEANS I AM PUT ON

A BIGGER PEDESTAL, A BIGGER

SPOTLIGHT, WHERE I HAVE TO BE

READY TO FACE MY BAD MOMENTS IN

A DIFFERENT WAY.

THE BIBLE TALKS ABOUT IRON

SHARPENING IRON IT SOUNDS LIKE

YOU HAD A REALLY GOOD TEAM

SURROUNDING YOU THAT IS

IMPORTANT IN THE CHRISTIAN

MIGHT AS WELL.

I PRAISE MY WIFE ALL THE TIME.

WITHOUT MEETING HER, IT WOULD

NOT HAVE JUMPSTARTED ME TO GET

BACK TO WHERE I SHOULD BE.

THEN THE CLOSE TEAM AND MY

CLOSE FRIENDS, THE DIFFERENT

PASTORS THAT I HAVE BEEN ABLE

TO MEET.

THEY HAVE PUT WISDOM INTO ME.

IT IS GROWING.

YOU HAVE BEEN VERY GENEROUS

WITH YOUR TIME AND WITH YOUR

MONEY.

WHY IS THAT IMPORTANT TO YOU?

WHEN YOU START LISTENING AND

LEARNING ABOUT THE GOSPEL,

LEARNING ABOUT THE BIBLE, YOU

WANT TO GIVE BACK.

ON MY DEATHBED, I DO NOT WANT

MY KIDS TO GO ON THE PODIUM AND

BE LIKE HIM HE WAS A TWO-TIME

MASTERS CHAMPION.

IF THEY SAY THAT, I'VE ALREADY

MISSED.

I HAVE BEEN BLESSED SO MUCH.

WHY NOT BLESS OTHER PEOPLE?

WHAT A CANDID INTERVIEW FROM

A MAN WHO HAS HAD A LOT HAPPEN

IN HIS LIFE.

TO LEARN MORE, CHECK OUT HIS

BOOK, CALLED UP & DOWN.

IT IS AVAILABLE NATIONWIDE .

HIS STORY IS QUITE REMARKABLE.

IT IS A VERY GOOD STORY.

WE LEAVE YOU WITH THIS WORD

FROM II TIMOTHY.

FOR GOD HAS NOT GIVEN US A

SPIRIT OF FEAR, BUT OF POWER

AND OF LOVE AND OF A SOUND

MIND.

GOD BLESS AND WE WILL SEE YOU
