PRESIDENT JOE BIDEN BACK IN

PENNSYLVANIA TODAY, WHERE A

TIGHT RACE COULD DETERMINE WHO

RULES THE SENATE.

SATURDAY, FORMER PRESIDENT

DONALD TRUMP CAMPAIGNED IN THE

KEYSTONE STATE IN HIS FIRST

APPEARANCE SINCE THE FBI RAID

ON HIS HOME.

HE CALLED IT A TRAVESTY OF

JUSTICE AND LABEL THE FBI AND

JUSTICE DEPARTMENT VICIOUS

MONSTERS.

HE ALSO HINTED HE MIGHT RUN FOR

PRESIDENT AGAIN IN 2024.

I MAY JUST HAVE TO DO IT

AGAIN.

FIRST, WE HAVE TO WIN A

HISTORIC VICTORY FOR THE

REPUBLICAN PARTY THIS NOVEMBER.

THIS COMES DAYS AFTER

PRESIDENT JOE BIDEN CALLED

TRUMP AND HIS CURRENT

SUPPORTERS A THREAT TO THE VERY

REPUBLIC.

> IN CANADA, MANHUNT UNDERWAY

AFTER A VICIOUS KILLING SPREE.

THEY'RE LOOKING FOR SANDERSON

IN CONNECTION WITH A SERIES OF

STABBINGS THAT LEFT AT LEAST 10

DEAD AND 15 WOUNDED.

THE ATTACKS HAPPENED IN

MULTIPLE LOCATIONS IN THE

PROVINCE OF SASKATCHEWAN,

INCLUDING AN INDIGENOUS

FOR THE ATTACKS.

> IN UKRAINE, U.N. INSPECTORS

WARNED OF IMPENDING CATASTROPHE

AT EUROPE'S LARGEST NUCLEAR

POWER PLANT.

THE FACILITY IN ZAPORIZHZHIA IS

IN RUSSIAN HANDS AND HAS BEEN

DAMAGED IN THE FIGHTING.

THE POWER PLANT HAS LOST

CONNECTION TO ITS MAIN POWER

LINES AND FORCED TO RELY ON

BACKUP SYSTEMS.

THE TEAM ALSO FOUND DAMAGE TO

FACILITIES FOR STORING

RADIOACTIVE WASTE.

IN A WORST-CASE SCENARIO,

NUCLEAR WASTE TWICE THE AMOUNT

SPREAD ACROSS EUROPE.

> PALESTINIAN TERRORISTS TOOK

ISRAELI ATHLETES HOSTAGE AT THE

1972 OLYMPIC GAMES IN MUNICH

TODAY -- 11 ISRAELIS DIED.

ISRAEL HAS FACED REPEATED

THREATS TO ITS EXISTENCE OVER

THE YEARS.

ONE OF THE LATEST IS A GLOBAL

MOVEMENT CALLED BOYCOTT

DIVESTMENT AND SANCTIONS.

AS CHRIS MITCHELL REPORTS, IT

IS SPREADING ON COLLEGE

CAMPUSES.

YOU HAVE A LOT OF GROUPS

THAT ARE OPERATING ON WHAT

APPEAR TO BE SHOESTRING BUDGETS

BUT WE CONTINUE TO SEE THAT

MOVEMENT FLOURISH AND THRIVE

ACROSS VARIOUS CAMPUSES.

I THINK WHAT IT MEANS IS THIS

IS A VERY DECENTRALIZED FUNDING

THAT --

Reporter: HE TESTIFIED

BEFORE CONGRESS AND SHARED HIS

RESEARCH INTO THE FUNDING OF

THE BDS MOVEMENT.

THEY STUMBLED ON ONE GROUP .

MANY OF THEM WORKED FOR

CHARITIES THAT WERE PREVIOUSLY

SHUT DOWN BY THE U.S.

GOVERNMENT FOR SUPPORTING

HAMAS.

THIS, OF COURSE, CAME AS A

SURPRISE TO US.

THE MORE WE DUG, THE MORE WE

REALIZE THERE WAS A NETWORK,

RELATIVELY SMALL ONE BUT

APPARENTLY INFLUENTIALTHAT WAS

ACTIVE ON CAMPUS.

I THINK IT DEMONSTRATED THAT

EVEN IF THIS GROUP IS NOT

ENGAGING IN ANYTHING ILLEGAL, I

THINK IT IS IMPORTANT TO STRESS

THAT, THAT THEIR BACKGROUND IS

@IMPORTANT.

IS NOT SIMPLY A SOCIAL JUSTICE

MOVEMENT, BUT RATHER A GROUP

THAT IS ELEVATED BY THEIR

IDEOLOGICAL REASONS.

HE SAYS THE NETWORK IS DOING

WHAT IT DID IN 2016.

IN A RELATED DEVELOPMENT,

ISRAEL RECENTLY TARGETED SIX

NGOs OR AIDING THE POPULAR

FRONT FOR THE LIBERATION OF

PALESTINE.

THAT GROUP IS DESIGNATED AS A

TERROR ORGANIZATION BY THE U.S.

A NUMBER OF THESE SO-CALLED

CHARITIES AND NGOs -- THEY ARE

A WAY TO FUNNEL MONEY THAT GOES

TO THESE GROUPS.

THEY SAY BOYCOTT ACTIVITIES

GO BACK 20 YEARS TO THE

MOVEMENTS BEGINNING AT A U.N.

CONFERENCE IN SOUTH AFRICA,

DESIGNED TO FIGHT RACISM.

INSTEAD OF --

Reporter: THAT PREPARED THEM

TO BE A KEY WEAPON AGAINST THE

JEWISH STATE.

SHE POINTS OUT THE MAIN TACTIC

IS TO DEMONIZE AND DELEGITIMIZE

ISRAEL THROUGH ITS SIGNS OR

PLACARDS.

THE PLACARD STRATEGY IS THE

EQUATION THAT EVERYONE WHO GOES

TO AN ANTI-ISRAEL DEMONSTRATION

SEES IT ON THEIR PLACARDS.

ZIONISM EQUALS OR ISRAEL EQUALS

OR SOMETIMES THE STAR OF DAVID

EQUALS.

THESE WORDS DENOTE EVIL, SO

WHAT HAPPENS THROUGH THE

PLACARD STRATEGY IS BASICALLY

PEOPLE ARE EXPOSED TO AN

ONGOING REFRAIN THAT SAYS,

ZIONISM, ISRAEL, STAR OF DAVID

EQUALS EVIL.

THAT COME ACCORDING TO HER,

PROMOTES THE IDEA OF ISRAEL AS

THE GLOBAL VILLAIN.

THERE IS NO GREATER GOOD IN

THIS WORLD THAN THE ERADICATION

OF EVIL.

SO, IF YOU CREATE THIS MENTAL

MIND-SET, YOU CREATE A GLOBAL

MIND-SET THAT THERE IS AN EVIL

OUT THERE AND THE EVIL IS

ISRAEL AND ZIONISM.

YOU'RE BASICALLY SAYING,

BECAUSE ISRAEL AND ZIONISM AND

THE STAR OF DAVID IS EVIL,

WHATEVER YOU DO TO RID THE

WORLD OF THIS EVIL WILL BE

JUSTIFIED.

THEY SAY THIS HELPS EXPLAIN

THE GROWTH OF VIOLENCE

WORLDWIDE AGAINST JEWS DURING

ISRAEL'S WAR WITH HAMAS IN

GAZA.

IT IS A DIRECT RESULT OF

THIS PERVASIVE DISCOURSE

VILIFYING THE JEWISH STATE.

IT IS AT THE CENTER OF WHAT THE

BDS IS DOING.

SINCE THIS HAPPENS AT

COLLEGES AND UNIVERSITIES, BDS

CREATES AN UNSAFE PLACE FOR

YOUNG JEWISH STUDENTS.

ESPECIALLY THOSE THAT

IDENTIFY AS ZIONISTS OR PRO-

ISRAEL.

Reporter: THAT IMPACT SEEMS

MINIMAL, ESPECIALLY AS THE

START OF NATION GETS A

FINANCIALLY STRONGER THROUGH

TIES WITH ITS ARAB NEIGHBORS

AND THE ARAB --

THEY SAY THE BATTLEGROUND IS

NOT SO MUCH THE ECONOMY BUT THE

HEARTS AND MINDS OF THE NEXT

GENERATIONS.

IN PARTICULAR ON COLLEGE

CAMPUSES, TEACHING A LOT OF

THINGS ABOUT ISRAEL, ABOUT ITS

HISTORY AND POLITICS, THIS WILL

MAKE THINGS MORE DIFFICULT FOR

ISRAEL IN THE FUTURE AS THEY

BATTLE FUTURE GENERATIONS OF

WHAT WHAT -- THIS REPRESENTS A

GREAT CHALLENGE, NOT A WELL-

FUNDED MOVEMENT AS SOME MIGHT

SUGGEST.

IT IS THE DEDICATION TO THE

DESTRUCTION OF THE JEWISH

STATE.

UNFORTUNATELY, THIS IS

SOMETHING THAT HAS BEEN AROUND

FOR SEVEN PLUS DECADES AND

COUNTING.

YOU CAN ALWAYS FIND THE

LATEST NEWS AT CBSNEWS.COM.

GORDON AND TERRY WILL BE THE

BACK OF MORE OF THE 700 CLUB

RIGHT AFTER THIS.

> A RUSSIAN TROOP BUILDUP ON

THE BORDER WITH UKRAINE HAS

NATO LEADERS WANTING RESIDENT

PUTIN TO WATCH HIS STEP.

THEY WERE CREATED DURING THE

COLD WAR IN ITS FIRST PRIORITY

WAS TO DETER ANY ATTACK BY THE

SOVIET UNION.

THE ALLIANCE HAS KEPT THE PEACE

FOR MORE THAN 70 YEARS.

SO, WHY ARE SOME NATO ALLIES

NOW DOUBTING THEY CAN COUNT ON

ITS MOST POWERFUL MEMBER?

JENNIFER WISHON EXPLAINS.

Reporter: THERE IS A GROWING

CONSENSUS AMONG EUROPEAN

COUNTRIES THAT THEY CAN NO

LONGER RELY ON THE U.S. FOR

SECURITY AS THEY HAVE IN THE

PAST BUT IN HUNGARY, ONE

OFFICIAL TELLS ME NATO REMAINS

THE ALPHA AND THE OMEGA OF

THEIR SECURITY.

HERE AT THIS AIRFIELD, HUNGARY

SPECIAL OPS AND AIRMEN PRACTICE

DIRTY BOMB DETECTION AND

RECOGNIZANCE.

U.S. TROOPS WERE IN THE SPRING

FOR JOINT NATO EXERCISES.

COUNTRIES LIKE HUNGARY, ONCE

UNDER THE BOOT OF THE SOVIET

UNION -- THEY HAVE UNIQUE

APPRECIATION FOR NATO'S

PROTECTIVE POWER.

THEY HAVE NO ILLUSIONS ABOUT

THE ATTENTIONS OF VLADIMIR

PUTIN AND THE KREMLIN.

BRADLEY BOWMAN IS THE -- OF

THE FOUNDATION FOR DEFENSE OF

DEMOCRACIES.

I VIEW NATO AND OTHER

ORGANIZATIONS AS THE MOST

SUCCESSFUL LIONS IN MODERN

HISTORY.

IT HAS WORKED.

TRUE TO ITS MISSION, THEY HAVE

DETERRED THE SOVIET UNION AND

RUSSIA FROM ATTACKING NATO

COUNTRIES.

THE ALLIANCE HAS GROWN,

INCLUDING 30 NATIONS AND ITS

POTENTIAL POWER IS WRAPPED UP

IN THIS AGREEMENT, AN ARMED

ATTACK AGAINST ONE OR MORE

MEMBER NATIONS IN EUROPE OR

NORTH AMERICA WOULD BE

CONSIDERED AN ATTACK ON THE

MALL.

AN IRONCLAD PARTNERSHIP

DEMONSTRATED AFTER THE 9/11

ATTACK.

GREAT BRITAIN, CANADA,

AUSTRALIA, GERMANY, AND FRANCE

HAVE PLEDGED FORCES.

Reporter: NATO ALLIES FOUGHT

AND DIED ALONGSIDE U.S. TROOPS

IN AFGHANISTAN FROM START TO

FINISH.

IF ANYTHING, THE CHALLENGES

WE SEE IN THE AGE OF HIS THICK

WITH CHINA MAKES IT EVEN MORE

IMPORTANT THAT THEY STAND

TOGETHER IN NAITO.

Reporter: NOT TO MENTION THE

ONGOING THREAT FROM RUSSIA.

THEY ARE UNDERTAKING A MESS

I -- ON THE EASTERN FLAKE OF

THE NATO ALLIANCE, PRETTY MUCH

EVERYWHERE YOU LOOK.

THERE IS A RESPONSE IN MY VIEW

TO THAT AGGRESSIVE POSTURING BY

MOSCOW.

IT MUST INCLUDE A UNIFIED

NAITO.

Reporter: WHILE THE ALLIANCE

REMAINS FIRM, TODAY THERE IS

TALK OF A EUROPEAN BASE

SECURITY FORCE IN BRUSSELS.

HAVE THEY BECOME A LESS

RELIABLEPARTNER FOR EUROPE IN

TERMS OF ITS SECURITY NEEDS?

ONE OF THE MANY GREAT JUST

SAD, SAD TRAGEDIES OF THE

AFGHAN WITHDRAWAL IS WE GAVE

MOSCOW AND BEIJING A REALLY

CREDIBLE TALKING POINT TO

REVERSE WHAT THEY HAVE SAID,

THAT AMERICA IS UNRELIABLE.

Reporter: ONE SENIOR

HUNGARIAN OFFICIAL TELLS ME

WHEN IT COMES TO GETTING THERE

AFGHAN PARTNERS OUT OF THE

COUNTRY, WE HAVE MORE

COOPERATION FROM THE TALIBAN

AND OUR AMERICAN ALLIES IN MANY

WAYS.

A MAJOR STUMBLE THAT HAS

CONVINCED MORE COUNTRIES OF THE

NEED TO UPGRADE EUROPEAN

SECURITY FOR THE MOST PART.

U.S. LEADERS ARE EXPRESSING

SUPPORT.

WE CERTAINLY SUPPORT A

STRONGER AND MORE CAPABLE

EUROPEAN DEFENSE AND ONE THAT

CONTRIBUTES POSITIVELY TO THE

TRANSATLANTIC AND GLOBAL

SECURITY THAT IS COMPATIBLE

WITH NAITO.

Reporter: COMPATIBLE IS KEY.

HUNGARY IS WORKING TO INCREASE

DEFENSE SPENDING TO 2% OF ITS

GDP BY 2024. 19 OF THE 30 NATO

COUNTRIES FAILED TO MEET THE

STANDARD.

THEY ARE GIVING COUNTRIES

STRUGGLING WITH THESE GOALS AND

THEN CREATING REDUNDANCIES FOR

THE EUROPEAN FORCE THAT PLAY

INTO THE HANDS OF PUTIN.

I WANT EUROPE TO BE A NET

PRODUCER, NOT CONSUMER OF

SECURITY.

IF EUROPEAN COUNTRIES ARE --

THEY ARE DOING THAT IN AN

INTEGRATED AND COORDINATED WAY,

I DO NOT NEED MORE GERMAN

BATTALIONS.

I DO NOT NEED A SINGLE

ADDITIONAL GERMAN TANK.

IT WOULD BE NICE IF THEY SET A

VESSEL BUT I REALLY DO NOT

CARE.

WHAT I WANT FROM GERMANY IS

MORE ROADS, BRIDGES, PORTS, AND

AIRPORTS AND AIR DEFENSE SO

RUSSIA CANNOT DO WHAT THEY DO

LATER.

Reporter: FOR NATO, THIS --

IT CAN AT TIMES MAKE THE

ALLIANCE FEEL UNSTABLE.

IN THE PAST FIVE YEARS,

PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP PUBLICLY

PRESSURED NATIONS TO PAY THEIR

FAIR SHARE ON DEFENSE WHILE

WAVERING IN HIS SUPPORT,

CALLING NAITO OBSOLETE.

WHILE PRESIDENT JOE BIDEN

RENEWED SUPPORT, THE

ADMINISTRATION THEN PROPOSED A

U.S. DEFENSE BUDGET THAT IS NOT

EVEN KEEP UP WITH INFLATION.

WE HAVE TO GET PAST THIS

TRIBALISM AND GET PAST THIS

IDEA THAT THE OTHER SIDE IS

ALWAYS WRONG AND WE HAVE TO

COME TOGETHER AND IDENTIFY

COMMON THREATS AND DEVELOP

POLICIES THAT CAN WITHSTAND THE

TEST OF TIME AND WILL NOT BE

THROWN OUT THE NEXT TIME THE

OTHER PARTY GETS CONTROL OF

CONGRESS AND THE WHITE HOUSE.

WE WILL HURD OURSELVES AND MAKE

OURSELVES LESS RELIABLE ALLIES.

Reporter: AFTER THE DEBACLE

IN AFGHANISTAN, HUNGARY AND

OFFICIALS IS A NATO COUNTRIES

HAVE MUCH WORK TO DO TO PREPARE

THEIR REPUTATION IN THE WORLD.

JENNIFER WISHON, CBN NEWS,

REPORTING FROM HELICOPTER BASE

IN HUNGARY.

THESE ARE VERY INTERESTING

TIMES BUT IF EUROPE BECOMES ITS

OWN MILITARY FORCE AND NATO IS

DISSOLVED AND THERE IS YET

ANOTHER MILITARY POWER ON THE

WORLD STAGE, THAT CHANGES A

WHOLE LOT.

I AM NOT SURE AMERICA IS QUITE

READY FOR HOW MUCH THAT WILL

CHANGE THE DYNAMIC.

> STILL TO COME, HER HUSBAND

HAD A SECRET.

18 MONTHS OF ONLINE GAMBLING

THAT SUCKED $82,000 DOWN THE

DRAIN.

BUT WAIT -- IT GETS WORSE.

FIND OUT WHAT HAPPENS NEXT.

THAT IS COMING UP.

> AND JUST THE SLIGHTEST BUMP

COULD -- HIS DOCTORS DID NOT

KNOW WHY.

HOW DID THIS MAN BECOME ONE OF

ONLY TWO PEOPLE TO SURVIVE

PERILOUS PLATELET COUNT?

YOU ARE ABOUT TO FIND OUT.

> A FEW SMALL SPECKLES.

THAT IS HOW HIS FIRST BRUSH

WITH DEATH BEGAN.

BEFORE LONG, HE WAS COVERED

WITH SPOTS, EVEN ON HIS TONGUE,

WHICH IS -- SO, WHAT CAUSED

THESE MYSTERIOUS SPOTS AND HOW

DID THEY THREATEN MIKE'S A LIFE

NOT JUST ONCE, BUT TWICE?

TAKE A LOOK.

I ALMOST FELT PARALYZED.

I KNEW WE HAD TO GET HIM TO THE

DOCTOR QUICKLY BECAUSE HE COULD

BLEED OUT.

HE COULD DIE.

MIKE AND BRENDA SCOTT LIVE

ON A HISTORIC FARM JUST OUTSIDE

NASHVILLE, TENNESSEE.

MIKE IS A RENOWNED BANJO PLAYER

AND COUNTRY MUSIC ARTIST WAS A

REGULAR AT THE GRAND OLE OPRY.

SEVERAL YEARS AGO, HE DEVELOPED

A STRANGE AND MYSTERIOUS

CONDITION THAT NEARLY ENDED HIS

LIFE.

I WAS OUT MOWING AND I HAVE

GOT SOME BREYERS AND A FEW

THINGS.

I HAD A FEW PRIOR SCRATCHES AND

STAFF.

I COME INTO THE HOUSE AND I

STARTED NOTICING SOME SPECKLES,

LITTLE SPOTS ALL OVER AND I

STARTED SEEING SOME ON MY NECK.

HE WAS NOT ALL THAT

CONCERNED ABOUT IT, ALTHOUGH IT

WAS LOOKING WORSE, YOU KNOW, BY

TE MINUTE.

BUT THEN HE SHOWED ME HIS

TONGUE.

AND THEN WHEN I GOT A CLOSE

LOOK AT HIS TONGUE, THAT WAS

FRIGHTENING.

UNSURE OF WHAT WAS GOING ON,

BRENDA RUSHED MIKE TO THE ER.

DOCTORS ASSUME DETERMINED HIS

PLATELET COUNT HAD DROPPED TO A

LIFE-THREATENING LEVEL OF 175.

NORMAL PLATELET COUNTS ARE

ABOVE 150,000 AND PEOPLE

NORMALLY DO NOT SURVIVE A DROP

BELOW 2000.

ONCOLOGIST TOLD US, YOU

KNOW, HE IS LUCKY TO BE ALIVE.

HE WAS AT RISK OF BLEEDING

TO DEATH INTERNALLY.

HE RECEIVED A BLOOD TRANSFUSION

THAT KEPT HIM ALIVE BUT MAY

TEST FOR WHAT WAS CAUSING HIS

CONDITION INCONCLUSIVE.

AS HE WAS BEING TRANSFERRED BY

AMBULANCE TO A SPECIALTY

HOSPITAL, BRENDA REACHED OUT TO

FRIENDS AND FAMILY FOR PRAYER.

FIRST ON MY LIST TO CALL

WITH PEOPLE THAT I KNOW ARE

SERIOUS ABOUT PRAYER.

AND THEY BELIEVE IN PRAYER, AND

TO KNOW THAT THEY COULD PICK UP

AND JUST, YOU KNOW, COVER ME

AND CARRY US IN PRAYER.

THAT JUST MEANT THE WORLD.

NOT LONG AFTER THEIR PRAYER

CHAIN BEGAN, MIKE'S PLATELET

COUNT RETURNED TO NORMAL.

DOCTORS WERE UNSURE WHAT CAUSED

THE REACTION AND THE REVERSAL.

WE WERE PRAYING THE WHOLE

TIME.

PEOPLE, CHURCHES, MY WIFE, ALL

MY FAMILY.

EVERYONE WAS BREAKING.

THE WHOLE TIME, WE ARE LIKE,

OKAY, BUT WHAT CAUSED IT?

WE DO NOT WANT TO LIVE IN

FEAR THAT THIS COULD HAPPEN.

IT WAS KIND OF IN THE BACK OF

OUR MINDS, YOU KNOW, BECAUSE WE

DO NOT KNOW WHAT CAUSED IT AND

WE DO NOT KNOW IF IT COULD

HAPPEN AGAIN.

YOU KNOW, IT WAS CONCERNING IN

SO MANY WAYS.

JANUARY OF THE FOLLOWING

YEAR, MIKE SEVERELY INJURED HIS

LEFT HAND WHILE REPAIRING A

DOOR SPRING ON A LARGE TRAILER.

50 STITCHES LIFT HIM IN A LOT

OF PAIN, SO HE TOOK A

PRESCRIPTION ANTI-INFLAMMATORY

FOR THE SWELLING.

ALMOST IMMEDIATELY, HE SAW THE

SAME SPOTS AND BLISTERS HE HAD

JUST FIVE MONTHS EARLIER.

I WAS JUST IN GOALS WITH

FEAR.

THE FEAR WAS -- IT HIT ME

STRONG AND IT HIT ME BEFORE THE

FAITH DID.

BUT THEN I BEGAN TO LEAN IN TO

GOD AND I SAID, GOD, YOU DID

THIS ONE'S.

YOU SAVED HIS LIFE.

WILL YOU DO IT AGAIN?

SO, I BEGAN TO PRAY AND THEN,

OF COURSE, I WAS ABLE TO MAKE

CONTACT WITH PEOPLE THAT WOULD

PRAY WITH US.

MIKE WAS RUSHED TO THE

HOSPITAL A SECOND TIME. ONCE

AGAIN, A LARGE PRAYER CHAIN

DEVELOPED ON HIS BEHALF,

PLEADING FOR HIS LIFE AND FOR

ANSWERS.

HERE WE ARE AGAIN.

WE ARE BRIGHT:AND I SAID, GOD,

THIS IS YOURS.

YOU DID IT ONCE AND YOU CAN DO

IT AGAIN.

NEW BLOOD TEST REVEALED HIS

MEDICAL EMERGENCIES WORD DUE TO

AN ALLERGIC REACTION TO IODINE

IN HIS ANTI-INFLAMMATORY

MEDICATION.

MY DOCTOR CAME IN AND HE

SAID, MR. MIKE, NOW WE KNOW

WHAT HAS CAUSED THIS AND HE

SAID, YOU DON'T EVER WANT TO

TAKE THESE AGAIN.

I SAID, NO KIDDING.

HE WAS ONE OF TWO PATIENTS

IN THE COUNTRY THAT HAVE

SURVIVED SUCH A LOW PLATELET

COUNT.

IT HAS BEEN FIVE YEARS SINCE

HIS NEAR BRUSH WITH DEATH.

MIKE AND BRENDA CONTINUE TO

MARVEL AT THE POWER OF PRAYER

AND GOD'S PRESENCE IN THEIR

TIME OF NEED.

THE POWER OF PRAYER AND THE

PEOPLE WE HAD PRAYING, I LIKE

TO KNOW THAT I HAVE PEOPLE WHO

CAN REACH GOD IN PRAYER.

IT GAVE ME A NEW PERSPECTIVE

AND, YOU KNOW, LIFE IS FRAGILE.

WHENEVER WE ARE IN A BAD

SITUATION LIKE THAT, GOD IS

WITH US AND WILL SEE US

THROUGH.

WHAT HE HAS DONE FOR OTHERS, HE

WILL DO FOR US.

WE CAN COUNT ON HIM.

I KNOW IF I CAN CALL OUT THE

NAME OF JESUS, HE WILL DO WHAT

HE SAYS HE WILL DO.

IT MIGHTNOT BE IN OUR TIMING

ALL THE TIME.

GOD SAYS, I WILL NOT ONLY SET

YOU FREE, BUT I WILL SEE YOU

THROUGH.

IN THAT, HE SAW ME THROUGH --

NOT ONCE, BUT HE SAW ME THROUGH

TWICE.

I AM JUST SO THANKFUL FOR THAT

BECAUSE I AM NOT FINISHED.

I AM NOT FINISHED UNTIL HE SAYS

I AM FINISHED.

WHAT A HARROWING EXPERIENCE.

TO GO THROUGH IT TWICE?

YOU KNOW, GOD IS ALWAYS

AVAILABLE.

IT IS WONDERFUL WHEN YOU KNOW

THAT THERE IS A PLACE YOU CAN

CALL.

I HOPE FOR YOU, YOU WILL KNOW

CBN IS ONE OF THOSE PLACES.

WE HAVE PRAYER PEOPLE ON THE

PHONES 24/7.

WE BELIEVE PRAYER DOES CHANGE

THINGS.

GOD ASKS US TO CRY OUT TO HIM.

HE RESPONDS WHEN WE DO.

WHAT AN AMAZING STORY.

I KNOW THERE ARE MANY OF YOU

TODAY WHO ARE SAYING -- WE WANT

TO TAKE SOME TIME TO PRAY FOR

YOU TODAY.

I WANT TO ENCOURAGE YOU.

THERE IS ANOTHER STORY.

THIS IS KATHY.

SHE LIVES IN NORTH CAROLINA.

FOR 15 YEARS, SHE LIVED WITH

CHRONIC EAR, NOSE, AND THROAT

ISSUES.

SHE WAS DIAGNOSED WITH

POTENTIALLY LIFE-THREATENING

CONDITIONS CALLED -- IT OCCURS

BEHIND THE NOSE AND ABOVE THE

BACK OF THE THROAT.

SHE WAS WATCHING THIS PROGRAM

AND SHE HEARD YOU SAY, SOMEONE,

YOU HEARD REPORT ABOUT A SINUS

CONDITION AND YOU ARE SAYING --

FOR YOU, I AM SAYING SINUS

CONDITIONS.

ALL OF THAT INFLAMMATION AND

EVERYTHING IS CLOSED UP.

OPEN UP NOW.

ALL THE PAIN AND HEADACHE

@BE CLEANSED AND HEALED AND BE

RESTORED.

KATHY BELIEVED THIS WAS FOR

HER.

LATER, SHE HAD ANOTHER CAT SCAN

DONE.

THE RESULTS CAME BACK SHOWING

SHE WAS COMPLETELY HEALED AFTER

15 YEARS.

TWO DOCTORS CONFIRMED IT AND

SHE IS, OF COURSE, GIVING ALL

THE GLORY TO GOD.

HERE IS FRANCIS.

HER GRANDDAUGHTER, ALEXIS, FELL

OUT OF BED AND CUT HER LIP AND

WAS A BLOODY MESS.

THAT SAME DAY, THEY WERE

WATCHING THE 700 CLUB AND

TERRY'S THAT, SOMEONE ELSE, I

DO NOT KNOW IF YOU HAD A FALL,

BUT YOU DEEPLY CUT YOUR LIP.

IT IS A BIG CUT AND IT IS STILL

BLEEDING.

GOD IS HEALING THAT FOR YOU

RIGHT NOW.

YOU'RE NOT GOING TO NEED

STITCHES.

YOU'RE NOT GOING TO NEED

ANYTHING.

BEGIN TO PRAISE THE LORD FOR

THAT HEALING.

SURE ENOUGH, THE BLEEDING

STOPPED.

NO FURTHER MEDICAL HELP WAS

NEEDED AND ALEXIS HAD HER LIP

HEALED.

INSTEAD OF GOING TO THE DOCTOR,

THEY WENT TO THE 700 CLUB AND

WATCHED US.

THAT IS INCREDIBLE.

REALIZE YOU HAVE ACCESS TO GOD

ALMIGHTY.

YOU DO NOT NEED SOME SPECIAL

CARD, IF YOU WILL.

YOU DO NOT NEED A -- ANYTHING

LIKE THAT.

WHAT YOU NEED IS TO RECOGNIZE

YOU ARE HIS CHILD.

JUST LIKE A CHILD, YOU CAN CRY

OUT TODAY AND HE WILL RESPOND,

ESPECIALLY FOR YOU BECAUSE HE

MADE YOU.

HE BREATHED YOU INTO BEING.

THE BREATH THAT YOU HAVE IN

YOUR LUNGS COMES FROM HIM, SO

WHEN YOU USE THAT BREATH TO CRY

OUT TO HIM, HE RESPONDS.

ISN'T THAT WONDERFUL?

WHAT A GREAT PRIVILEGE.

WE GET TO GO TO THE CREATOR OF

EVERYTHING, THE CREATOR OF THE

UNIVERSE AND GET AN ANSWER FOR

OUR NEED.

LET'S DO THAT RIGHT NOW.

HE WILL BE YOUR VERY PRESENT

HELP IN TIME OF TROUBLE.

THAT IS WHAT THE BIBLE

PROMISES.

HE WILL BE YOUR HEALER.

HE WILL BE YOUR SAVIOR.

HE WILL BE YOUR RESTORER AND

YOUR DELIVERER.

ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS ASK,

BELIEVING.

WHEN YOU DO THAT, WONDERFUL

THINGS HAPPEN.

MIRACLES HAPPEN.

DO NOT MAKE IT COMPLICATED.

NO, IT IS FOR YOU.

JESUS CAME FOR YOU.

JUST REST IN THAT.

EXCEPT IT.

ANYTHING THAT SAYS YOU ARE

SEPARATED FROM GOD, ALL OF THAT

IS DONE AWAY BY THE CROSS.

IT IS ALREADY DONE AND

ACCOMPLISHED.

WALK INTO IT AND REST AND IT

AND BELIEVE IT.

LET'S PRAY.

LORD, WE COME TO YOU.

WE COME TO YOU AS LITTLE

CHILDREN, BELIEVING DADDY'S

WORD.

WHAT YOU HAVE PROMISED, YOU

WILL DELIVERER.

YOU ARE ANXIOUS TO DELIVER IT

AND ANXIOUS FOR US TO BELIEVE,

FOR US TO HAVE THAT WONDERFUL

BREAKTHROUGH.

LORD, GOD, WE COME TO YOU WITH

OUR NEED.

IN AN ACT OF FAITH, WE LAY

HANDS ON THAT AREA OF THE BODY

THAT NEEDS HEALING.

WE COME INTO AGREEMENT OVER IT

NOW.

WE SAY OUT LOUD, BY THE

AUTHORITY GIVEN TO ME BY JESUS

OF NAZARETH, THE ONE WHO DIED

FOR ME, WHO FOR GAVE ME, WHO

DELIVERED ME, WHO HEALED ME, BY

HIS AUTHORITY I SPEAK OUT LOUD,

TO BE HEALED AND BE MADE WHOLE.

IN JESUS' NAME -- SOMEONE HAS

EXTREME PAIN IN YOUR LEFT KNEE

AND IT IS LIKE A DAGGER INTO

YOUR KNEECAP.

GOD IS HEALING THAT AND YOU

JUST FELT THAT WARMTH -- IT IS

WARMTH AND COOLING AT THE SAME

TIME.

GO THROUGH YOUR KNEE AND GOD IS

JUST HEALING YOU.

WHAT YOU COULD NOT DO BEFORE,

DO IT NOW.

MOVE THAT KNEE AROUND AND

REALIZE YOU ARE PAIN-FREE AND

THERE IS NO MORE DISCOMFORT.

REGULATE INSULIN, GOD IS

HEALING YOU NOW IN JESUS' NAME.

SOMEONE ELSE SCRATCHED YOUR

EYE AND THOUGHT IT WAS VERY

TEMPORARY BUT YOU HAVE AN

INFECTION AND IT HAS BEEN

DIFFICULT TO HEALED.

GOD IS HEALING THAT IN JESUS'

SOMEONE ELSE LIVES IN FEAR

FROM AN ALLERGIC REACTION.

YOU HAVE AN EPIPEN AND YOU SAW

THAT STORY ABOUT ALLERGIC

REACTIONS TO MEDICINE AND IT

> SHE TOOK ONE LOOK AT HER

BANK ACCOUNT AND COULD NOT

BELIEVE WHAT SHE SAW.

HER HUSBAND HAD GAMBLED AWAY

THEIR LIFE SAVINGS.

LYNN WAS DEVASTATED AND THEN A

FEW MONTHS LATER, HER LIFE GOT

EVEN WORSE.

LYNN KEYS WAS MAKING GREAT

MONEY AT HER DREAM JOB.

SHE AND HER HUSBAND WERE EVEN

ABLE TO BUILD A SIZABLE

RETIREMENT ACCOUNT.

WHEN THE RECESSION HIT, LYNN'S

HUSBAND WAS LAID OFF.

THAT IS WHEN SHE STARTED

LOOKING AT THEIR FINANCES AND

NOTICED THEY HAD BEEN BLEEDING

MONEY.

I RAN A SPREADSHEET OF OUR

LAST 18 MONTHS OF TRANSACTIONS.

IT WAS 14 PAGES OF FACEBOOK

JACKPOT GAMBLING TRANSACTIONS

-- $82,000.

ON TOP OF THAT, HER HUSBAND

GAMBLED AWAY EVEN MORE FROM

THEIR 401(K).

PROBABLY IT WAS ABOUT

$380,000 THAT WAS GONE.

YEAH, MY LIFE, MY RETIREMENT.

I COULD NOT BELIEVE THAT I WAS

LOOKING AT THAT.

I STARED AT IT FOR FIVE

MINUTES, LIKE, THIS CANNOT BE

HAPPENING.

THE COUPLE DIVORCED.

SHE LOST THE HOME AND HAD TO

MOVE INTO HER OWN APARTMENT.

LATER, EVEN MORE BAD NEWS.

JULY THE 14th, GET A PHONE

CALL FROM MY BOSS, TELLING ME I

AM LAID OFF AND LOST MY JOB.

I AM TOTALLY CRYING AT THAT

POINT, ROCK-BOTTOM CRYING.

LIKE, WHAT ELSE IS GOING TO

HAPPEN?

I HAD NOTHING TO COME HOME TO,

NOTHING.

THERE WAS NO HOPE.

DESPERATE FOR HELP, SHE

BEGAN ATTENDING CHURCH ON A

REGULAR BASIS.

I FIGURED OUT THAT ONLY THE

GOOD LORD ABOVE WILL GIVE YOU

HOPE.

I STARTED READING THAT BOOK AND

REALLY TRYING TO HAVE A

PERSONAL RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD

FOR THE FIRST TIME, AND IT WAS

JUST ALL THAT ANGER AND SADNESS

-- IT WENT AWAY.

AFTER GETTING SAVED, HER

WHOLE ATTITUDE ABOUT MONEY

CHANGED.

SHE LEARNED ABOUT TITHING AND

DECIDED TO GIVE IT A TRY AND

GET OFF HER UNEMPLOYMENT

CHECKS.

ONE MINISTRY SHE SUPPORTED WAS

CBN.

I STARTED GIVING AND IT IS

LIKE, LORD, OKAY, I'M A LITTLE

TIGHT BUT I'M GOING TO GIVE

THIS TO CBN MINISTRY.

I WILL GIVE $20 BECAUSE THEY

JUST HELP SO MANY PEOPLE AROUND

THE WORLD.

I HAD NO IDEA THE MINISTRY.

USED THESE STORIES -- I AM

FEELING SORRY FOR MYSELF

BECAUSE I DO NOT HAVE A GOOD

PAYING JOB AND THEY DO NOT HAVE

WATER TO DRINK.

MY SUPPORT HELPS PEOPLE AT

LEAST HAVE THE BASIC

NECESSITIES OF LIFE.

AFTER GIVING FAITHFULLY,

EVEN WHILE DOING LOW-PAYING

SHIFT WORK, SHE FINALLY GOT HER

DREAM JOB AGAIN.

NOW, SHE GETS FULL BENEFITS AND

IS ABLE TO SAY.

HAPPY TEARS.

LOTS OF HAPPY TIERS.

@ME AND MY GIRLFRIEND, WE WOULD

SIT AROUND AND HOLD HANDS AND

PRAY THAT WE WOULD GET THIS JOB

AT TD BANK.

IT WAS A GLORIOUS THING.

YOU GET THAT CALL. WE WERE OUT

CELEBRATING.

WE POSTED ON FACEBOOK.

IT WAS A VERY HAPPY MOMENT.

IT FINALLY AFFORDED ME TO BE

ABLE TO, YOU KNOW, TAKE WEEKEND

TRIPS TO THE OCEAN OR THE

MOUNTAINS AND IT HAS BEEN A

BLESSING.

YOUR BACK UNSTABLE FINANCIAL

GROUND, SHE SAYS THE LORD IS

RESTORING WHAT SHE HAD LOST.

I TOTALLY CREDIT TOO

TRUSTING IN THE LORD AND

TITHING.

YOU KNOW, YOU GIVE AND HE WILL

GIVE YOU BACK MORE THAN YOU'LL

EVER IMAGINE.

JUST TRUSTING IN HIM THAT HE IS

GOING TO TAKE CARE OF YOU.

TRUST IN THE LORD AND

TITHING.

THAT LED TO FINANCIAL

BREAKTHROUGH.

CARING FOR OTHERS, CARING FOR

THE POOR, THE NEEDY, HELPING

THOSE WHO CANNOT HELP

THEMSELVES.

ALL WONDERFUL THINGS AND IT ALL

STARTS WHEN YOU START READING

THAT BOOK.

THE MORE YOU READ THE BIBLE,

CHANGE YOUR INNERMOST BEING AND

IT WILL GIVE YOU HOPE AND IT

> UP NEXT, MEET FEARLESS

FRANK.

HE IS THE ONLY THING STANDING

BETWEEN THE BOWL AND MOST

CERTAIN DEATH FOR THE RIDER.

THIS RESCUER MAKES -- SO WHAT

HAPPENED WHEN THE CHAMPION

NEEDED SAVING HIMSELF?

FIND OUT AFTER THIS.

> GOING HEAD-TO-HEAD WITH A

RAGING BULL AND CHEATING DEATH.

TIME AFTER TIME, THAT IS HOW

FRANK NEWSOM EARNED THE

NICKNAME FEARLESS FRANK.

HE IS A CHAMPION BULLFIGHTER,

RESCUING RODEO RIDERS WHEN THEY

ARE THROWN OFF THE BULLS.

WHAT HAPPENS WHEN HE NEEDS TO

BE RESCUED?

TAKE A LOOK.

IT IS THE LIFE OF A RODEO

BULLFIGHTER BUT LIVED ON FRANK

NEWSOM'S TERMS.

I DO NOT HAVE TO WORRY IF

SOMETHING WAS TO HAPPEN TO ME,

WHETHER IT WAS ON THE WAY HERE

OR WHILE I AM HERE.

OUR MEDICAL TEAM, THEY HAD PUT

ME BACK TOGETHER SO MANY TIMES

OVER THE YEARS.

THE TOUGH RESCUER NICKNAMED

FEARLESS FRANK HAS LEARNED TO

MANAGE HIS DEEPEST FEARS.

I KNOW THE CONFIDENCE I HAVE

IN MY SAVIOR AND MY SALVATION

IS KEY TO THAT.

JUST KNOWING THAT -- JESUS, HE

HAS GOT THIS.

HE HAS GOT ME.

BETWEEN COMPETITIONS IN THE

ARENA, FRANK REFLECTS ON HIS

ROLE.

WE ARE A WORKERS.

WE ARE A SERVANT.

WE ARE A PROTECTOR.

OUR JOB IS TO KEEP THE GUYS

SAFE.

IT IS ABOUT KNOWING IF YOU GOT

YOUR JOB DONE OR NOT, KNOWING

ABOUT YOUR TEAMMATES, THE GUY

NEXT TO YOU.

AND EVERYBODY IS WORKING

TOGETHER.

WHEN A RIDER IS READY,

FRANK'S BULL'S-EYE IS CLEAR.

THE BULL IS GERMANE FOCUS

POINT.

HIS MOMENTUM.

THERE IS INTENSITY THAT YOU CAN

FEEL, ANTICIPATING WHAT THEY

ARE DOING.

YOU ARE TAKING CONTROL OR

LOOKING FOR CONTROL OVER THE

BULL.

BUT WE ARE SEEING THE RIDER

BODY LANGUAGE OF WHEN HE IS

GOING TO COME OFF AND WHERE HE

IS GOING TO LAND.

HE NEEDS TO MAKE SURE HE

DOES NOT GET RUN OVER.

I GREW UP AROUND CATTLE,

WORKING WITH MY DAD, WORKING ON

DIFFERENT BRANCHES.

WE WOULD BUCK BULLS AFTER WE

WORKED.

SOME OF THE OLDER GUYS TRYING

TO TEACH US HOW TO RIDE BULLS,

WE WOULD TAKE TURNS SAVING EACH

OTHER.

I KNEW THAT WAS MY SPOT.

IT WAS AN OVERWHELMING FEELING

I'M GOING TO DEVOTE MY LIFE TO

THIS.

THIS IS ME RIGHT HERE.

Reporter: HIS CAREER TOOK

OFF QUICKLY, WINNING BOTH

NATIONAL AND WORLD FINALS IN

HIS SECOND PROFESSIONAL SEASON.

THERE WAS SO MUCH MORE

FREEDOM IN WHAT WE DO AS RODEO

OWING AND BULL RIDING.

I WAS GOOD AT WHAT I DID, SO I

MADE MONEY.

WITH IT CAME DISTRACTION.

I WAS PROBABLY WAY IMMATURE

FOR THE SUCCESS I WAS GETTING

AS FAR AS HOW TO HANDLE THAT.

I KNOW I WAS BUT I WANTED TO BE

THE BEST BUT THEN BAD HABIT

KEPT CREEPING IN AND GETTING

BIGGER AND BIGGER.

THE TRAVELING PACE AND THE

BULLFIGHTER'S PAIN LED TO HIS

GROWING SUBSTANCE ABUSE AND

ADDICTION.

ONCE I ALLOWED THE DRUGS IN

MY LIFE, THINGS GOT WAY WILDER.

YOU ARE NOT SLEEPING BUT YOU'RE

GOING TO ALL THESE BULL

RIDING'S AND RODEOS AND YOU ARE

GETTING YOUR BODY HEAT UP.

YOU ARE DRINKING MORE.

I JUST COULD NOT SEE, IN THE

MOMENT, HOW MY ADDICTION WAS

TEARING MY LIFE APART.

YOU'RE STILL HAVING SUCCESS.

I CAN HANDLE THIS.

UNTIL FRANK'S PRIVATE

STRUGGLES CAUGHT UP WITH THEM.

I GOT PULLED OVER.

I WAS WAY OUT OF HAND, DRIVING

WAY TOO FAST, JUST BEING REALLY

RECKLESS, AND YOU HAVE TO FACE

THAT WHEN YOU GET THROWN INTO

JAIL.

YOU KNOW, I NEEDED THAT.

INSTEAD OF COMPETING IN THE

BULL RIDERS 2000 FINALS, HE WAS

ALONE IN JAIL.

I OWED PEOPLE MONEY.

I OWED TIME FOR LAWS I BROKE.

I HAD BROKEN RELATIONSHIPS.

ALL THE THINGS I GREW UP

KNOWING THAT WERE IMPORTANT,

MAN, I TRASHED THEM.

DUE TO SIN, JUST LETTING'S AND

CONTROL ME.

IT WAS HIS TURN TO BE

RESCUED.

HE PRAYED.

I WAS LIKE, THIS IS REALITY.

HOW DID IT GET LIKE THIS?

THE FIRST STEP OF TRULY WANTING

JESUS IN MY LIFE, IT WAS NOT

ABOUT GETTING OUT OF TROUBLE.

LORD, I NEED YOU.

I HAVE MADE A MESS OF THINGS.

HE KNEW THAT AND HE WAS THERE.

AFTER THAT, HE REBUILT HIS

REPUTATION.

I HAD TO GO BACK TO THE VERY

BOTTOM AND WORK MY WAY BACK UP

IN THE ARENA AS A BULLFIGHTER,

BUT ALSO IN LIFE, AND GAIN

TRUST DAY BY DAY WITH PEOPLE.

FEARLESS FRANK HAS RESTORED

HIS PLACE AMONG THE

BULLFIGHTING GREATS AS A WELL-

RESPECTED COMPETITOR AND

MENTOR.

MY MOTIVATION IS NOT JUST

ABOUT ME DOING MY PROFESSION

BUT IT IS LIKE, MAN, IF I CAN

SAVE THIS LIFE, THAT IS ONE

MORE DAY THAT GIVES HIM AN

OPPORTUNITY TO BE SAVED. HE CAN

GO HOME TO HIS WIFE AND KIDS

AND LEAVE THEM IN A GOOD

DIRECTION.

TRUST THE LORD RIGHT NOW

WITHOUT HAVING TO HIT ROCK

BOTTOM.

TRUST HIM RIGHT NOW.

LET HIM BE YOUR MASTER AND LET

THEM BE WHO HE IS.

IN HIS STORY, HE SAYS THIS.

I THINK IT IS SO TRUE.

YOU NEVER THINK YOU WILL GIVE

YOUR LIFE OVER TO SOMETHING

THAT IS NEGATIVE OR WILL ROB

YOU OF THE DREAM YOU HAVE AND

THE WORK YOU DO AND YOUR GOOD

HEALTH.

IT STARTS A LITTLE BIT AT A

TIME AND THEN YOU GET

COMFORTABLE.

THAT IS WHAT HAPPENED TO

FRANK.'S LIFE WAS OUT-OF-

CONTROL.

THE GREAT THING ABOUT HIS STORY

IS THE THING THAT IS GREAT FOR

ALL OF US ABOUT GOD.

GOD -WEIGHTED.

GOD WAITED AND DESPITE THE

CHOICES THAT FRANK WAS MAKING,

DESPITE THE FACT HIS LIFE WAS

FALLING APART, GOD WAS THERE.

WHEN FRANK WAS READY TO

SURRENDER AND CALL UPON THE

NAME OF THE LORD, GOD WAS

THERE.

HE WILL BE THERE FOR YOU.

THE IMPORTANT PART IS YOU CALL

OUT TO HIM.

GOD, I NEED YOU.

I HAVE MADE A MESS OF MY LIFE.

I NEED YOU.

PLEASE COME AND HELP.

HE IS THERE, JUST LIKE THAT.

THE BIBLE SAYS, HE SAYS IN THE

BIBLE, I STAND AT THE DOOR AND

KNOCKED

THAT IS THE DOOR OF YOUR HEART.

IF ANYONE OPENS THE DOOR AND

INVITES ME, I WILL COME IN AND

HAVE FELLOWSHIP GOD WANTS TO BE

A PART OF YOUR LIFE.

HE WANTS TO LIVE IN YOUR HEART

AND MAKE HEAVEN ACTIVATED ON

YOUR BEHALF.

YOU NEED TO ASK HIM TO COME

INTO YOUR HEART.

IF YOU'RE STRUGGLING WITH

SOMETHING THAT HOLDS YOU

CAPTIVE, WE WOULD LOVE TO SEND

THIS TO YOU.

IT IS CALLED "FREE INDEED."

IT IS FREE.

CALL US AT 1-800-700-7000 TO

GET IT.

ASK FOR IT.

GOD'S POWER IN YOUR LIFE, HOW

DO YOU GET THAT?

HOW DO YOU MAKE THE GREAT

EXCHANGE?

YOUR WEAKNESS FOR HIS POWER.

IT IS AVAILABLE TO YOU.

WE LEAVE YOU WITH THESE

WONDERFUL WORDS FROM

COLOSSIANS.

FOR HE HAS RESCUED US FROM THE

DOMINION OF DARKNESS AND

BROUGHT US INTO THE KINGDOM OF

THE SON HE LOVES, IN WHOM WE

HAVE REDEMPTION, THE

FORGIVENESS OF SINS.

WELCOME TO THE KINGDOM OF LOVE,

WHERE GOD LOVES YOU INFINITELY.

GOD BLESS YOU AND WE WILL SEE
