COMING UP, NINE-YEAR-OLD IS

PULLED FROM THE WATER.

SHE WAS JUST TROOPED OVER

HIS ARMS.

THE DROWNED GIRL WAS THIS

WOMAN OFFICE STARTER.

DURING THE CPR I NOTICED AMY

WAS BLUE. MINUTES GO BY AND

SHE IS NOT BREATHING.

SHE LOOKED SO LIFELESS.

WATCH AS SHE IS RUSHED TO THE

HOSPITAL.

I COULD NOT DO ANYTHING TO

HELP HER. I JUST FELT IT ALL

AROUND ME.

THIS IS ON TODAY'S 700 CLUB.

> WELCOME TO THE 700 CLUB AND

THANK YOU FOR JOINING US. LET'S

GO OVER TO THE CBN NEWS DESK

FOR TODAY'S TOP STORIES.

BENJAMIN NETANYAHU BEGAN HIS

TERM IN OFFICE TODAY WITH A

ROWDY RECEPTION. AT THE TOP OF

HIS GOVERNMENT'S PLATFORM IS A

CONTROVERSIAL GOAL TO EXPAND

THE JEWISH PRESENCE THROUGHOUT

THE COUNTRY. THIS IS INCLUDING

THE BIBLICAL LANDS OF JUDEA AND

SAMARIA WHICH THE BOOK CALLS

THE WEST BANK. ARE MIDDLE

EASTERN CORRESPONDENT BRINGS US

THE STORY FROM JERUSALEM.

Reporter: I MADE THIS, THE

NEW PRESIDENT PRESENTED THE

GOAL OF HIS INCOMING

GOVERNMENT. HE WANTS TO PREVENT

IRAN FROM MAINTAINING A

NUCLEAR WEAPON AND HE WANTS TO

SEEK PEACE AGREEMENTS WITH

ISRAEL'S ARAB NEIGHBORS.

Translator: I DO NOT NEED TO

HEAR YOU YELLING TO KNOW THAT

WE HAVE CERTAIN DISAGREEMENTS.

WE HAVE TASKS AND CHALLENGES

BEFORE US.

IT TOOK MONTHS OF

CAMPAIGNING FALLING

EIGHT MORE WEEKS OF BARGAINING

TO REACH THIS DAY.

Translator: OPPOSITION,

LOSING ELECTIONS IS NOT THE END

OF DEMOCRACY, IT IS THE ESSENCE

OF DEMOCRACY.

Reporter: HIS PARTY ISSUED A

STATEMENT ON WEDNESDAY THAT THE

COALITION WOULD ADVANCE AND

DEVELOP SETTLEMENT IN ALL PARTS

OF THE LAND OF ISRAEL. THIS IS

INTO GALILEE,

THE HEIGHTS AND JUDEA AND

SAMARIA.

I THINK IT IS GOOD THAT THE

COALITION PLATFORM IS CREATED

FROM THE BEGINNING AND

EVERYBODY UNDERSTANDS WHAT THIS

GOVERNMENT STANDS FOR. IT IS

IN LINE WITH WHAT THE VOTERS

VOTED FOR.

Reporter: MUCH OF THE WORLD

CONSIDERS THE SETTLEMENT THE

LEGAL. MORE THAN HALF 1 MILLION

LIVE THERE. THE UNITED STATES

HAS OFTEN CONSTRAINED ISRAELI

EXPANSION THERE.

WITH REGARD TO SETTLEMENTS

IN THE UNITED STATES, THIS MAN

WAS FORCED TO ACTUALLY LIMIT

BUILDING IN THE SETTLEMENTS,

THE JEWISH COMMUNITIES. THIS IS

KNOWN AS THE WEST BANK. ISRAEL

SAYS THAT THEY HAVE EXCLUSIVE

RIGHTS TO ALL OF THE LAND

WITHIN THE LAND OF ISRAEL

INCLUDING TODAY AND SAMARIA.

Reporter: VOTERS SUPPORTED

THIS GOVERNMENT TO PROMOTE SUCH

AN EXPANSION. THEY WANT TO STOP

THE GROWTH OF PALESTINIAN

VIOLENCE.

I THINK THERE IS A LOT OF

MISUNDERSTANDING. WE NEED TO

REALIZE THAT THE COMMITTEE HAS

BEEN FORMED. THEY HAVE BEEN

CHOSEN IN A DEMOCRATIC SYSTEM

BY A MAJORITY OF THE PEOPLE WHO

WANTED TO SEE A CHANGE FROM THE

PREVIOUS GOVERNMENT.

Reporter: OUTGOING MEMBERS

ARE UNHAPPY WITH CERTAIN POLICY

CHANGES AND APPOINTMENTS

INCLUDING THE NEW MINISTER FOR

NATIONAL SECURITY. THE MAYOR,

OF THE JEWISH COMMUNITY IN

JUDEA AND SAMARIA, SAYS THE

INCOMING GOVERNMENT IS ALREADY

TEMPERING AND STAND.

PEOPLE NEED TO REMEMBER IN A

NUTSHELL THAT POLITICIANS,

THEY CAMPAIGNED FOR THE BASE.

THEY GOVERN FOR THE PEOPLE.

ONCE THEY SIT ON THE CHAIR, OF

THE MINISTER, OR THE CHAIR OF

POWER, THERE IS LIMITS TO THE

POWER. THERE IS ALSO SOME

COMPROMISES THAT NEED TO BE

MADE IN ORDER TO MOVE FORWARD.

Reporter: THE GOVERNMENT

COULD BENEFIT FROM SUSTAINED

MEDIA, TAX, AND FOREIGN

CRITICISM. THE EXPECTATIONS

HAVE BEEN SET SO LOW THAT ANY

THING THAT LEADS TO SECURITY

MAY BE WELL RECEIVED BY THE

PUBLIC. CBN NEWS, JERUSALEM.

> HERE IN THE U.S., TRYING TO

MAKE IT HOME FOR CHRISTMAS WAS

QUITE THE NIGHTMARE. THIS IS

ESPECIALLY THOSE WHO COUNTED ON

SOUTHWEST. THEY SUFFERED

ANOTHER WAVE OF CANCELED

FLIGHTS ON WEDNESDAY. THE

FEDERAL GOVERNMENT IS

INVESTIGATING WHAT HAPPENED. WE

HAVE THAT STORY.

I AM ABSOLUTELY FURIOUS AT

SOUTHWEST AIRLINES.

Reporter: MIKE AND HANNAH

TRIED FOR SEVEN DAYS TO MAKE IT

TO SEATTLE FROM DENVER TO

CELEBRATE CHRISTMAS WITH THEIR

SON AT HIS HOME. THIS WAS WHAT

THINGS LOOKS LIKE AT THE

COLORADO AIRPORT ON DECEMBER

21.

THEY DON'T CARE. SO PART OF

MY RAGE IS PROBABLY THAT I WILL

NEVER FLY SOUTHWEST AGAIN.

Reporter: SOUTHWEST CANCELED

THEIR FLIGHT BUT THEIR BAGS

STAYED WITH SOUTHWEST. THIS IS

AFTER THEY TOOK ANOTHER

AIRLINE.

THEY SAID HER BAGS WERE IN

DENVER THAN THEY SAID OUR BAGS

WERE IN SEATTLE.

Reporter: WHILE OTHER

AIRLINES RECOVERED FROM STORMS

THAT HIT LARGE SWATHS OF THE

COUNTRY OVER THE WEEKEND,

SOUTHWEST HAS CANCELED MORE

THAN 8000 FLIGHTS JUST SINCE

MONDAY.

WE WERE ON THE PLANE FOR

THREE HOURS BEFORE THEY

CANCELED OUR FLIGHT. OUR NEXT

AVAILABLE FLIGHT IS DECEMBER

30.

Reporter: THE AIRLINE BASED

IN DALLAS WAS MESSED UP BY A

COMBINATION OF FACTORS

INCLUDING AND OUT OF DAY CRUISE

SCHEDULING SYSTEM AND THE

NETWORK THAT LED TO

CANCELLATIONS IN ONE REGION

CASCADE THROUGH THE REST OF THE

COUNTRY. THOSE ISSUES ARE NOT

NEW. THEY HAD A SIMILAR FAILURE

IN OCTOBER 2021. SOUTHWEST

AIRLINES APOLOGIZED AND SAID

THEY WERE DOING EVERYTHING THEY

CAN TO RETURN TO A REGULAR

OPERATION.

OUR PLAN IS TO FLY A REDUCED

SCHEDULE AND REPOSITION OUR

PEOPLE AND PLANES THAT WE ARE

MAKING HEADWAY.

Reporter: PETE BITTIGIEG

CALLED THE MELTDOWN

UNACCEPTABLE.

WE ARE PAST THE POINT WHERE

THEY COULD SAY THAT THIS IS A

WEATHER DRIVEN ISSUE. WHAT THIS

INDICATES IS A SYSTEM OF

FAILURE.

Reporter: SOUTHWEST CEO SAYS

THAT COULD BE NEXT WEEK BEFORE

THE FLIGHT SCHEDULE RETURNS TO

NORMAL. WENDY GRIFFITH, CBN

NEWS.

> NEXT IN ZAMBIA, THERE ARE

MORE THAN 5000 PEOPLE

TRANSLATING THE BIBLE INTO 20

NATIVE LANGUAGES. THANKS TO THE

WORK OF WYCLIFF ASSOCIATION,

THIS IS HAPPENING. WE TRAVELED

TO THE AFRICAN NATION TO SEE

THOSE RESULTS.

Reporter: ZAMBIA, KNOWN FOR

ITS VAST LANDSCAPES, WALKING

SAFARIS, AND VICTORIA FALLS.

IT IS STILL CALLED AFRICA'S

BEST-KEPT SECRET. IT IS GIVING

BIRTH TO YET ANOTHER UNTOLD

STORY. MEN AND WOMEN ARE

MEETING DAILY IN ORDER TO

TRANSLATE THE BIBLE INTO THE

LANGUAGES THAT THEY SPEAK.

Reporter: WHAT IS YOUR FIRST

MEMORY OF THE BIBLE?

Translator: THIS MAN PLANS

AND PASTORS CHURCHES. HE IS

HOPING TO LEAD TRANSLATION

WORK.

MY PARTNER WAS A MISSIONARY

FROM ALLOW HE. AND, HE CAME

INTO THIS TOWN AND THEY PREACH

THE GOSPEL TO ME. FOR GOD SO

LOVED THE WORLD THAT HE GAVE

HIS ONLY SON. WHOEVER BELIEVES

IN HIM SHOULD NOT PERISH BUT

HAVE EVERLASTING LIFE.

Reporter: SCHOLARS ESTIMATE

THERE ARE 7000 LANGUAGES SPOKEN

AROUND THE WORLD . FEWER THAN

800 OF THOSE LANGUAGES HAVE THE

BIBLE FULLY TRANSLATED BOTH OLD

AND NEW TESTAMENT. THIS LEAVES

THOUSAND STILL IN NEED OF

TRANSLATION. MANY OF THOSE ARE

HERE IN THE CONTINENT OF AFRICA

IN HARD TO REACH PLACES AS WELL

AS ASIA AND INDO PACIFIC

REGIONS. [ SPEAKING IN FOREIGN

LANGUAGE ]

Translator: THAT IS THE

SOUND OF ANOTHER AREA REACHED.

CHURCHGOERS ARE READING AND

HEARING THE NEW TESTAMENT IN

THEIR LANGUAGE. THIS IS FOR THE

VERY FIRST TIME. AND AFTER

READING, THERE IS DANCING.

GOD IS SPEAKING OUR

LANGUAGE.

Reporter: THIS IS A FIRST

EVEN FOR THIS MAN WHO REMEMBERS

HEARING JOHN 3:16. NOW HEARING

A SCRIPTURE IN HIS NATIVE

LANGUAGE AT 58, IT IS AMAZING.

IT IS THE FIRST WRITTEN

LITERATURE. THIS BIBLE IS THE

FIRST WRITTEN LANGUAGE. WE HAD

NOTHING BEFORE.

Reporter: THIS NEW TESTAMENT

GIFT IS MORE THAN LITERATURE.

FOR ME IT IS NOT ONLY ABOUT

THE BIBLE, HAVING THE BIBLE

PRINTED, TO ME IT IS ABOUT

CHANGING LIVES. I HAVE SEEN A

LOT OF LIVES BEING CHANGED FOR

BETTER BECAUSE OF THIS

TRANSLATION.

THAT INCLUDES HIS OWN.

THOMAS TRAVELS TO AFRICAN

COUNTRIES TEACHING TRANSLATORS

TO USE TECHNOLOGY. THAT IS NOT

HOW THIS BIBLE TRANSLATION

CAREER BEGAN FOR THE YOUNG

HUSBAND AND FATHER WHO GREW UP

IN ZIMBABWE, A CHILD OF

REFUGEES, FLEEING CIVIL WAR IN

MOZAMBIQUE.

I WAS DRUNK. BY THAT TIME I

WAS DOING BOTH LIVES. WAS

GOING TO CHURCH AND I WAS DOING

WORLDLY THINGS. I APPEARED IN

THE MEETING AND I WAS DRUNK.

THEY SAID YOU HAVE TO GO HOME

AND COME BACK TOMORROW.

Reporter: THOMAS RETURNED

AND HE DID THE WORK. THE POWER

OF THE WORD HE TRANSLATED DID

NOT BECOME REAL UNTIL HE FOUND

HIMSELF SICK AND IN THE

HOSPITAL.

MY MOTHER WAS TELLING ME WE

COULD NOT EAT ANYTHING AT HOME.

SOME TIME THEY WOULD COME AND

VISIT ME AT THE HOSPITAL. [

CRYING ] THEN, THEY STARTED

TALKING TO ME ABOUT TELLING

CHRIST AS MY SAVIOR. WHEN THE

TRANSLATION CAME, I WAS

THINKING ABOUT THE LIFE I WAS

TRYING TO LEAVE BEHIND. BUT

SOMETHING STARTED CHANGING.

THIS WAS THROUGH THE

TRANSLATION.'S

Reporter: DURING OUR VISIT

TO THIS REGION OF THE WORLD,

THERE ARE ACTUALLY THREE NEW

TESTAMENT TRANSLATIONS BEING

CELEBRATED. THIS INCLUDES THE

ONE THAT IS BEING TRANSLATED

HERE. WE WERE IN LIVINGSTON FOR

ITS CELEBRATION OF THE NEW

TESTAMENT IN THE MOTHER TONGUE

OF THOSE WHO CALL THIS VILLAGE

HOME. THIS IS INCLUDING PAUL.

OUR COUNTRY HAS 73

LANGUAGES. ONLY SEVEN ARE

CONSIDERED OFFICIAL LANGUAGES.

THOSE ARE THE ONLY ONES THAT

HAVE THE SCRIPTURE TRANSLATED.

Reporter: THIS IS THE PASTOR

WHO LEADS CHURCH OWNED

TRANSLATION WORK HERE.

WHEN YOU READ IT OUT IN YOUR

OWN LANGUAGE, EVEN THE

INTERPRETATION OF IT TO THE

PEOPLE, THERE IS AN

UNDERSTANDING WHEN YOU READ TO

THE PEOPLE. IT IS OKAY. IT HAS

A GREAT SPIRITUAL IMPACT IN

THEIR LIVES.

Reporter: THAT INCOME PACKED

IS WHY HE FACILITATES CHURCH

OWNED BIBLE TRANSLATION IN

ZAMBIA AND OTHER PARTS OF THE

WORLD.

WHEN WE SAY CHURCH OWNED

BIBLE TRANSLATION WE MEAN THE

CHURCH OF THE TRANSLATION

PROCESS AND ALSO THE SCRIPTURES

THEY PRODUCE AT THE END OF THE

DAY.

Reporter: THIS MAN IS

PRESIDENT. WHAT IS LOST IN

TRANSLATION?

THAT IS A VERY GOOD

QUESTION. I THINK PART OF THE

CHALLENGE NOW IS HOW CAN WE

FURTHER ACCELERATE THE PROCESS

WITHOUT SACRIFICING THE QUALITY

OF THE TRANSLATIONS? YOU CAN

SEE THE NEED FOR SCRIPTURES.

PEOPLE ARE DYING EVERY DAY

WITHOUT COMING TO THE LORD. AND

SO, THE URGENCY FOR US IS

REALLY THERE IN TERMS OF BEING

ABLE TO PRESS FORWARD.

Reporter: PRESS FORWARD WITH

THE MESSAGE THAT GOD LOVES YOU.

[ SPEAKING IN FOREIGN LANGUAGE

]

Reporter: THIS IS IN EVERY

LANGUAGE. CBN NEWS, ZAMBIA.

IT IS BEAUTIFUL TO SEE

PROPHECY COMING TO FRUITION,

EVERY TRIBE , EVERY TONGUE, AND

EVERY NATION. THOSE OUR TOP

STORIES AND GORDON AND TERRY

WILL BE BACK WITH MORE FROM THE

700 CLUB, RIGHT AFTER THIS.

> THAT IS HOW MANY PEOPLE ARE

POURING INTO TEXAS ANNUALLY,

HALF 1 MILLION. THEY ARE NOT

JUST VISITING, THEY ARE PUTTING

DOWN ROOTS IN THE LONE STAR

STATE. WHAT IS THE MAIN

ATTRACTION? HOW DO LOCALS FEEL

ABOUT THE INFLUENCE? TARA HAS

THE STORY.

Reporter: ACCORDING TO THE

NUMBERS, MORE AMERICANS ARE ON

THE MOVE NOW THAN EVER BEFORE.

MANY ARE LOOKING FOR A PLACE

WITH LOWER TAXES, LESS CRIME,

AND A BIGGER BANG FOR THE REAL

ESTATE DOG. TEXAS IS HIGH ON

THE LIST WITH IT SMALLER

COMMUNITIES, ESPECIALY IN HIGH

DEMAND. *

Reporter: TEXAS LOUD * TEXAS

PROUD.

OVER HERE, WE LIKE FREEDOM

AND WE LIKE OUR GUNS. WE DO NOT

LIKE TO BE CODDLED AND WE LIKE

OUR GOVERNMENT LIMITED.

Reporter: THESE DAYS MORE

AND MORE PEOPLE OUT OF STATE

LIKE THE SOUND OF TEXAS AS

WELL. WITH MORE THAN A

HALF-MILLION PEOPLE POURING IN

ANNUALLY, THIS IS EVIDENT.

STATISTICS SHOW THAT MOST

ARRIVED FROM CALIFORNIA.

THE CALIFORNIA JOB MARKET IS

REALLY TOUGH. EVERYTHING IS

REALLY EXPENSIVE.

WE ARE FAR ENOUGH AWAY THAT

WE ARE NOT SUFFOCATED.

Reporter: WHILE HIGH HOME

PRICES AND RECENT SPIKES IN

URBAN AREAS ARE A DRIVING

FACTOR, TEXAS IS STILL SEEING

FOLKS FLOCKING TO BIGGER CITIES

HERE.

Reporter: THE NUMBERS ALSO

SHOW MORE TRANSPLANTS INCLUDING

MUSICIAN DAVE AND THEY ARE

SINGING A NEW TUNE IN LESS

POPULATED AREAS.

WE WANTED TO GET OUT OF

NASHVILLE. WE JUST WANTED

SOMETHING THAT FELT MORE I

DON'T KNOW, JUST MORE COMMUNITY

AND JUST A SMALL TOWN VIBE.

WHERE WE LIVE HERE IS OLD.

Reporter: LOCATED IN CENTRAL

TEXAS, WACO IS KNOWN FOR A HIT

REALITY TELEVISION SHOW. IT IS

ALSO KNOWN FOR CREATING DR

PEPPER. IT ALSO DEALS WITH

CELEBRITY TRANSPLANTS. POST

PANDEMIC, THE AREA IS EXPLODING

WITH AVERAGE HOME PRICES UP

ABOUT 13% OVER A YEAR AGO. THAT

MEANS NONSTOP CONSTRUCTION AND

REAL ESTATE OFTEN SNATCHED UP

SIGHT UNSEEN.

I WOULD LOVE TO HELP YOU

SELL YOUR HOUSE. WHERE IS YOUR

HOME LOCATED?

Reporter: ARE YOU SURPRISED

AT WHAT HAS HAPPENED?

IT IS UNBELIEVABLE. JUST A

YEAR AGO IT WOULD SIT ON THE

MARKET FOR THREE OR FOUR

MONTHS. WE WOULD NOT HAVE ANY

OFFERS AT ALL IT FIRST. NOW WE

HAVE PEOPLE FIGHTING TO GET IN

AND MULTIPLE OFFERS.

Reporter: SCHOOLS ARE

GROWING AT WARP SPEED.

WE HAVE OUR HIGHEST

ENROLLMENT EVER. WE ARE AT 1600

STUDENTS IN THE DISTRICT. THERE

ARE A FEW CHALLENGES THERE. WE

ARE ADDING PERSONNEL.

Reporter: SO IS LOCAL LAW

ENFORCEMENT.

BEING AVAILABLE TO ANSWER

CALLS FOR SERVICE, BEING ABLE

TO RESPOND, HAVING THE

PERSONNEL, WE ARE HAVING TO

LOOK AT ADDING STAFF TO KEEP UP

WITH THE DEMAND.

Reporter: THIS REGION IS

SADDLING UP FOR THOUSANDS OF

NEW JOBS AS WELL. THE GIANTS

LIKE AMAZON ARE MOVING IN AND

SPACE X IS EXPANDING. CREDIT

THE STATE LOW GROWTH POLICIES

ARE TO BE GIVEN AS

BILLIONAIRES COME FROM ONE TIP

OF THE STATE TO ANOTHER. MUCH

OF THIS GREEN IS MAINLY POURING

IN FROM LOOSE CITIES AND

STATES.

PEOPLE ARE NOT WORRIED ABOUT

FOLKS LIKE ME MOVING FROM

CALIFORNIA.

Reporter: THAT MEANS MORE

FOOD FOR POLITICAL FODDER.

DO NOT TURN THIS PLACE INTO

WHAT YOU FLOOD.

CALIFORNIA. I THOUGHT I

SMELLED COMMUNISM.

Reporter: THE GOVERNOR IS

URGING OUTSIDERS TO VOTE RIGHT

TO KEEP TEXAS, TEXAS. THIS LONG

REPUBLICAN STRONGHOLD IS

ARGUABLY GROWING MORE PURPLE.

IT HAS LONG BEEN A FEAR OF

CONSERVATIVES AND A GOAL OF

LEFT WING TEXANS THAT THESE

BLUE NEWCOMERS WILL BRING ALONG

THEIR VOTING HABITS AND TIP THE

POLITICAL SKILLS.

IT IS NOT CLEAR WHAT IS

HAPPENING IN TEXAS. AGAIN,

THERE IS LOTS OF RED LEANING

PEOPLE FROM THE STATES THAT ARE

COMING IN. THERE IS SOME BLUE

PEOPLE AS WELL. IT IS NOT CLEAR

THAT THE BLUES HAVE A CRITICAL

MASS.

Reporter: STILL ON THE

GROUND, LOCAL REPUBLICANS ARE

NOT TAKING CHANCES.

EDUCATING THE WHOLE

POPULATION TO DRAW CLEARLY THE

LINES OF DEMARCATION BETWEEN

OUR CONSERVATIVE POLICIES AND

THE LIBERAL POLICIES. THE

LIBERAL SOCIALIST, COMMUNIST

POLICIES ARE IN THE DEMOCRATIC

PARTY.

Reporter: DO YOU SEE

OPPORTUNITY HERE?

WE DO. WE HAVE PEOPLE IN

EVERY PRECINCT THAT ARE GETTING

THOSE FOLKS THAT ARE MOVING IN

AND WE ARE ENGAGING THEM ONE

CHECK ON ONE.

Reporter: NO TEXAS TWO STEP

AROUND IT AS A MORE POPULAR AND

POPULATED TEXAS TAKES SHAPE.

CHANGE IS IN THE AIR WHEREVER

IT LEADS.

Reporter: ANALYSTS AGREE THE

LONG-TERM IMPACT OF THE

SO-CALLED MASS MIGRATION

REMAINS TO BE SEEN. POLITICALLY

AND OTHERWISE, THIS IS THE

CASE. THEY DO NOT BELIEVE IT

WILL AND ANYTIME SOON. IN

CENTRAL TEXAS, CBN NEWS.

> THANK YOU FOR THAT REPORT .

I THINK IT IS ALL IN IMPACT

FROM COVID. PEOPLE ARE

REALIZING THAT YOU CAN WORK

FROM HOME AND WHEN YOU CAN,

THAT MEANS YOU CAN LIVE

ANYWHERE. SO WHY LIVE IN A HIGH

TRAFFIC, HIGH TAX STATE? WHY

LIVE IN A PLACE THAT HAS HIGH

REAL ESTATE? THAT IS WHAT IS

FEELING THIS. I THINK WE WILL

SEE MORE AND MORE OF IT AS OUR

WORK PLACES CHANGE. THIS IS NOT

JUST FROM THE PANDEMIC BUT

BECAUSE PEOPLE REALIZE THAT IN

AN INTERNET INFORMATION AGE YOU

CAN INDEED WORK FROM A LOT OF

DIFFERENT PLACES.

> STILL AHEAD, HE LEARNED HOW

TO PLAY CHESS IN THE HOMELESS

SHELTER. WITHIN A YEAR, HE WON

A NEW YORK STATE CHAMPIONSHIP

AT THE AGE OF EIGHT. SO, HOW

DID A MIRACLE WITH THIS BOY

FROM NIGERIAN REFUGEE TO CHESS

CHAMPION HAPPEN? STAY TUNED TO

FIND OUT.

> AND INVENTOR'S EUREKA

MOMENT. ONE IDEA SENT THIS BAND

FROM FINANCIAL RUIN. YOU HAVE

GOT TO SEE IT TO BELIEVE IT

RIGHT AFTER THIS. *

> TODAY THE CART RIGHTS ARE

SUCCESSFUL ENTREPRENEURS. LOT

LONG AGO THEY NEEDED HELP TO

PUT GAS ON THEIR CAR. HOW DID

THEY MAKE AN AMAZING U-TURN?

YOU ARE ABOUT TO FIND OUT.

Reporter: TOM CARTWRIGHT IS

A SELF-EMPLOYED INVENTOR WHO IS

COMING UP WITH CREATIVE IDEAS

FOR PRODUCTS LIKE THE ANTIGUA

FAN-BLADE.

THERE WAS LEAVES IN MY YARD.

I SAW A LEAF AND I SKETCHED

THIS AND I MADE UP THE FAN

BLADE FROM THAT.

Reporter: BEING AN

ENTREPRENEUR HAS NOT BEEN EASY.

THERE WERE TIMES HE COULD NOT

PROVIDE THE BASICS. THIS WAS

LIKE WHEN ONE OF HIS FOREIGN

BUSINESS DEALS WITH BAD.

THE HEADLINE SAYS THE BANK

LOSES U.S.'S 600 MILLION. I

CAME BACK AND I KIND OF LOST

EVERYTHING.

WE HAD ONE CAR. PEOPLE WERE

HELPING US PUT GAS IN OUR TANK.

THIS WAS BACK IN THE DAY WHEN

THERE WAS A LOT OF FOOD STAMPS

AROUND AND PEOPLE WERE GIVING

US THEIR FOOD STAMPS. IT WAS

VERY VERY HUMBLING.

Reporter: TOM AND ANNA

STARTED GOING TO CHURCH.

WE NEEDED HELP.

I DID NOT CARE IF I WORKED

IN A GAS STATION, GOD FIRST, MY

FAMILY, THEN MY JOB.

Reporter: PUTTING GOD FIRST

INCLUDED TITHING 10%.

WE BEGAN TO TITHE. THIS WAS

BELIEVING THAT GOD WOULD

MULTIPLY THE SEED THAT WE WOULD

SO. SHORTLY THEREAFTER, YOU

KNOW I CAME UP WITH ANOTHER

INVENTION OR PRODUCT. WE HAD A

GOOD INCOME.

Reporter: TOM'S MEDICAL

HYGIENE INVENTION WAS CALLED

WASH AND CARE. IT WAS USED IN

HOSPITALS. THROUGH THE YEARS AS

THEY KEPT TITHING, THE

INVENTIONS AND INCOME KEPT

COMING. AT ONE POINT SOME

BIG-NAME STORES BOUGHT A GAME

TABLE HE DESIGNED. THEY TOOK

OUT A SECOND MORTGAGE ON THEIR

HOME. THEN THE MARKET CRASHED

AND THERE WAS NO WAY TO PAY

BACK THE LOAN.

IT WAS DEVASTATING AND

CONFUSING.

Reporter: THEIR DAUGHTER

WORKS WITH HIM. SHE HAD TO

LAYOFF ALL OF THEIR EMPLOYEES

AND THEY HAD TO PUT THE

COMPANY'S FUTURE IN GOD'S

HANDS.

YOU GET TO BARE-BONES, WHAT

DO YOU BELIEVE? ARE YOU GOING

TO FALL APART AND GO TO PIECES?

WHEN THE TIME CAME TO NOT TITHE

OR NOT GIVE, IT WOULD BRING

TEARS IN MY EYES. I WAS LIKE I

DO NOT TRUST THIS WORLD. I DO

NOT TRUST HOW SMART WE ARE. I

TRUST GOD.

Reporter: DESPITE UNCERTAIN

TIMES AND MULTIPLE THREATS OF

FORECLOSURE, TOM AND ANNA NEVER

STOPPED TITHING . THEY BELIEVED

IN TITHING RIGHTS.

THE BARN WILL NOT BE EMPTY.

THE BASKET WILL BE FULL. THOSE

ARE TITHING RIGHTS.

Reporter: THEY GAVE ABOVE

THEIR TIES TO HELP A COUPLE

FROM CHURCH.

GOD SAID I WANT YOU TO PAY

OFF THEIR SECOND MORTGAGE. I

TALKED TO ANNA AND WE SAID WHAT

YOU DO FOR OTHERS, GOD WILL DO

FOR YOU.

Reporter: SHORTLY AFTER THEY

PAID OFF THE OTHER COUPLE'S

LOAN, THEIR OWN FINANCIAL

SITUATION TURNED AROUND.

VALUABLE REAL ESTATE THEY HAD

ON THE MARKET FOR YEARS WAS

SUDDENLY PURCHASED BY A CASH

BUYER. THE COMPANY'S EXCESS

INVENTORY ALSO SOLD. THE

COMBINED INCOME MADE IT

POSSIBLE AND IT HELP THEM PAY

OFF THEIR SECOND MORTGAGE AND

STAY IN THEIR HOME.

I CAN SAY WITH ASSURANCE

THAT WHEN YOU TITHE, GOD ALWAYS

PROVIDES FOR YOU AND HE

MULTIPLIES IT. THAT IS A

FUNCTIONAL ABSOLUTE .

Reporter: TODAY TOM AND

ALLISON RUN A COACHING COMPANY

FOR INVENTORS. THEY LOVE TO

SHARE HOW TITHING AND GIVING

HAVE AFFECTED THEIR SUCCESS.

WHAT PEOPLE SPEND THEIR

MONEY ON SHOWS YOU WHAT IS IN

THEIR HEART. NUMBER ONE, IF

YOU ARE NOT TITHING, THAT MIGHT

BE WHERE YOU ARE IN A FINANCIAL

SITUATION.

GOD DOES NOT TWIST YOUR ARM

TO DO IT BUT HE HAS A LOT OF

PROMISES AND WONDERFUL THINGS

FOR YOU WHEN YOU DO TITHE.

YOU WANT TO TRUST YOURSELF

FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIFE OR DO

YOU WANT TO LEAN ON ANOTHER

SOURCE THAT IS GOD OR THE

UNIVERSE? JUST BE OBEDIENT. YOU

CANNOT OUT GIVE HIM. NO WAY. HE

WILL ALWAYS OUT TO YOU. [

LAUGHTER ] THIS IS MORE THAN

YOU CAN IMAGINE. *

THAT IS A NEW PHRASE FOR

YOU, WHAT SHE SAID TITHING

RIGHTS. WHEN YOU TITHE, YOU

ENABLE YOURSELF TO HAVE CERTAIN

RIGHTS. THOSE RIGHTS ARE

SPELLED OUT IN THE THIRD

CHAPTER OF MALACHI. PROVE ME

NOW IN THIS. IF I WILL NOW OPEN

FOR YOU THE WINDOWS OF HEAVEN

AND POUR OUT FOR YOU A BLESSING

THAT YOU CANNOT CONTAIN, ON TOP

OF IT , HE PROMISES I WILL

REBUKE THE DEVOURER FOR YOUR

SAKE. I WILL GIVE YOU SO MUCH

AND THEN I WILL PREVENT

DISASTERS FROM HAPPENING TO YOU

SO THAT YOU WILL HAVE PLENTY .

THAT IS WHAT GOD ALMIGHTY IS

PROMISING. THAT IS WHAT A

TITHING RIGHT IS. WHEN YOU

TITHE, YOU HAVE RIGHTS TO CLAIM

THEM. HOW DOES GOD OPEN UP

WINDOWS IN HEAVEN? THAT IS A

GOOD QUESTION. HE HAS GOT LOTS

OF WAYS TO DO IT. ONE OF THE

WAYS HE DOES IT IS HE GIVES YOU

CREATIVE IDEAS. HE HAS GOT A

LOT OF VERY VERY VERY GOOD

IDEAS. HE WILL GIVE THEM TO

YOU. ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS ASK.

SO WHEN YOU GIVE, EXPECT TO

HAVE THE RIGHT. WHEN YOU HAVE

THAT AND YOU ARE DOING IT

FAITHFULLY AND CONSISTENTLY,

THAT IS WHEN THE BLESSINGS

COME. THIS IS NOT SOME GET RICH

QUICK SCHEME. THAT IS NOT THE

DEAL HERE. THE DEAL IS WHEN YOU

LIVE IN ACCORDANCE WITH GOD'S

WORD AND YOU LET HIM HELP YOU,

THEN YOU WILL HAVE ABUNDANCE.

THAT, GIVE US A CALL AT

> USING PAPER PIECES HELD

TOGETHER WITH TAPE, THAT IS HOW

TOMMY BEGAN PLAYING CHESS WITH

HIS BROTHER IN NIGERIA. A

COUPLE OF YEARS LATER, HE TOOK

TOP PRIZE AT THE NEW YORK STATE

CHEST CHAMPIONSHIP BEATING 73

PLAYERS. HE WAS ONLY EIGHT

YEARS OLD. NO WONDER THIS

AMAZING BOY WANTS THE WORLD TO

KNOW I BELIEVE IN MIRACLES.

MY FIRST THOUGHT IS HOW DO I

BEAT THEM. I DO NOT THINK OF

ANYTHING ELSE.

IN THE WORLD OF CHESS, THIS

INDIVIDUAL IS A RISING STAR. HE

WAS EIGHT YEARS OLD WHEN HE

ONCE OF THE 2019 NEW YORK STATE

CHAMPIONSHIP IN THE K THROUGH

THIRD GRADE DIVISION. HE HAD

BEEN PLAYING LESS THAN A YEAR.

I HAD THE CONFIDENCE BUT

AFTER I WANT THREE GAMES IN A

ROW THEN I STARTED TO REALLY

BUILD UP THAT GOOD GOOD STABLE

CONFIDENCE. IT NEVER GOES

AWAY.

THIS CHESS TEAM COACH HAS

SOMETHING TO SAY.

IT DOES NOT HAPPEN EVERY

YEAR WHERE YOU SEE A STUDENT

LEARN THE GAME AFTER JUST ONE

YEAR, THEY ARE PERFORMING IN

THE TOUGHEST SCHOLASTIC

TOURNAMENT IN THE COUNTRY. THEY

ARE PERFORMING PRETTY MUCH

PERFECTLY.

HIS UNLIKELY VICTORIES

SPREAD QUICKLY. THIS WAS THE

STORY OF A YOUNG BOY WHO FOUND

HIS LOVE FOR CHESS WHILE

PLAYING WITH HIS BROTHER IN

ABUJA NIGERIA.

MY BROTHER MADE PAPER PIECES

WITH TAPE. WE JUST STARTED TO

MOVE PIECES AROUND. WE WOULD

MOVE ILLEGALLY. BUT, IT WAS

ALWAYS FUN.

THEN, THE WHOLE STORY

BEGINS. JUST A YEAR EARLIER,

HIS FAMILY HAD FLED NIGERIA.

THEY WERE THREATENED.

THE MARKET, THE MOSQUE, IT

WAS VERY DANGEROUS.

Reporter: DESPITE THE

VIOLENCE, HIS FATHER WAS ABLE

TO RUN A PRINTING BUSINESS

UNTIL THE DAY HE REFUSED TO DO

WORK. THEN THE TERRORIST GROUP

SHOWED UP AT THEIR HOME.

I WAS ON THE FLOOR. THEY

SAID LET'S USE HER AS A MESSAGE

TO HER HUSBAND. I CANNOT REALLY

SAY WHAT THEY MEAN. I MIGHT BE

OR KILLED, SO MANY THINGS COULD

HAPPEN. I WAS ASKING GOD, GOD,

PLEASE SAVE ME. SAVE MY

CHILDREN.

Reporter: THANKFULLY THEY

LEFT WITHOUT INCIDENT. STILL,

THE THREATS AND VISITS

CONTINUED. COYOTE MOVED THE

FAMILY TO ANOTHER PART OF

NIGERIA.

THEY CAME OUT AND SAID WE

TRACED YOU DOWN. NOW WE WILL

GET YOU TONIGHT. YOU WILL GO

AND MEET YOUR GOD.

Reporter: FINALLY, THE

FAMILY SECURED VISAS AND A

FLIGHT TO TEXAS TO STAY WITH

RELATIVES.

ON THE PLANE, WE DID NOT

EVEN THINK ABOUT WHATEVER WE

HAVE LOST IN THE PAST. WE DO

NOT LOOK BACK. THE ONLY THING

WE HAVE AND THANK GOD WE HAVE

SOMEBODY AND WE DO NOT HAVE

ANYBODY COMING TO OUR DOOR TO

HARASS US.

Reporter: IN DECEMBER 2017

AFTER A SHORT STAY WITH

RELATIVES, THEY LANDED IN A

HOMELESS SHELTER IN MANHATTAN.

THE LITTLE BOY WAS IN THIRD

GRADE AND HE JOINED THE CHESS

CLUB. ONCE HIS COACHES SAW HE

HAD TALENT, PASSION, AND A WORK

ETHIC HE LEARNED FROM HIS

PARENTS.

HE WORKED HIS BUTT OFF. THAT

IS WHAT SEPARATED HIM. WHEN IT

WAS TIME TO HAVE FUN, HE WANTED

TO PRACTICE. WHEN IT WAS TIME

TO PLAY, HE WAS THE FIRST ONE

THERE.

I WAS ALWAYS PUSHING EVEN IF

THERE WAS NO PRIZES. I WANTED

TO HAVE THE FEELING I AM DOING

WELL.

Reporter: AS HE VENTURED

INTO THE TOURNAMENTS, VICTORIES

WERE SCARCE. HIS MOTHER WOULD

PRAY WITH HER SON, EXPLAINING

THAT IT TAKES PATIENCE AND

PRAYER TO FIND SUCCESS. EMAC I

WOULD COME BACK HOME WITH

TROPHIES. I SAID THIS MIGHT

NOT BE YOUR TIME.

Reporter: THE TIME AND

SUCCESS WAS COMING AS HE

STARTED RACKING UP THE WINDS.

I DO NOT REALLY THINK ABOUT

WHO I PLAY. I JUST PLAY THE

GAME. I GO TO THE NEXT ROUND. I

PLAY THE GAME AND I GO TO THE

NEXT ROUND.

Reporter: WITH THE NEW YORK

STATE CHAMPIONSHIP COMING UP IN

MARCH 2010, HIS COACHES DECIDED

TO TAKE HIM WITH THE TEAM. HE

WAS NOT EXPECTED TO GO FAR.

HOWEVER, MIRACLES DO HAPPEN.

OUT OF 73 PLAYERS,

EIGHT-YEAR-OLD LITTLE BOY CAME

OUT ON TOP.

THEY SAID DO YOU KNOW WHAT

YOU JUST DID, DO YOU KNOW WHAT

JUST HAPPENED?

Reporter: HE UNDERSTOOD WHAT

HIS MOTHER HAD SAID ABOUT GOD'S

TIMING AND PRAYER.

HE HELPED ME WITH CHESS. HE

GAVE ME THE CONFIDENCE. I WOULD

PRAY TO HIM AND HE WOULD

ANSWER.

THAT WAS JUST THE BEGINNING

OF SOMETHING REALLY PHENOMENAL.

Reporter: THAT SOMETHING

WOULD REACH FAR BEYOND THE

TOURNAMENT. THIS IS AS HE AND

HIS FAMILY'S STORY CAPTIVATED

THE MEDIA. IT GRABBED THE

HEARTS OF THE PUBLIC. A

GOFUNDME SITE WAS SET UP AND IT

RAISED OVER $250,000 IN 10

DAYS.

MY FAMILY WILL SPOIL ME AND

GIVE ME A BRAND-NEW CAR. I

RENTED AN APARTMENT FOR US FOR

A YEAR. GOD BROUGHT SOMEBODY

FROM THIS. WE WENT FROM NOTHING

TO SOMETHING. GOD GAVE US

SOMETHING TO DO. IT IS ALL GOD.

IT IS TRULY GOD.

Reporter: THEY STARTED A

FOUNDATION TO HELP FAMILIES IN

NEED. THE LITTLE BOY HOPES TO

KEEP WORKING AND ACHIEVING THE

TITLE OF WORLD'S YOUNGEST

GRAND MASTER. HE AND HIS

PARENTS SHARE THEIR JOURNEY IN

THEIR BOOK. IT IS CALLED MY

NAME IS TAWNY AND I BELIEVE IN

MIRACLES.

THIS GIVES ME A SIGN THAT

MORE THINGS ARE GOING TO BE

AHEAD OF US. THERE WILL BE MORE

GOOD THINGS.

WE WANT YOU TO KNOW THAT

SINCE OUR INTERVIEW TAWNY HAS

REACHED A NEW MILESTONE. AT THE

AGE OF 10 HE ACHIEVED THE TITLE

OF NATIONAL MASTER AT THE

COUNTY CHESS MASTER TOURNAMENT

THAT IS IN CONNECTICUT. HIS

BOOK IS CALLED MY NAME IS TAWNY

AND I BELIEVE IN MIRACLES. A

GREAT STORY. IT IS AVAILABLE

NATIONWIDE. ISN'T THAT FUN TO

WATCH?

UNBELIEVABLE. WHAT AN

INCREDIBLE STORY! THE BIBLE

SAYS IT TAKES YOU FROM THE ASH

HEAP AND HE SITS YOU AMONG THE

PRINCES OF THE PEOPLE. WHAT AN

INCREDIBLE STORY.

> WE HAVE ANOTHER INCREDIBLE

STORY. ANNIE POWELL NEEDED A

MIRACLE. A NINE-YEAR-OLD

DROWNED IN THE SWIMMING POOL.

SHE DOES NOT REMEMBER MUCH

ABOUT THE ACCIDENT. SO WHAT

DOES SHE RECALL? SHE RECALLS

HER TRIP TO HEAVEN.

Reporter: PULL SEASON IS

OFFICIALLY AMONG US. --

Reporter: A DAY OF FUN AT A

PARK SWIMMING POOL TURNS INTO A

NIGHTMARE.

I NOTICED THAT A MAN WAS

BRINGING OUT A YOUNG GIRL AND

SHE WAS JUST DROOPED OVER HIS

ARMS. AND, HE WAS ASKING FOR

HELP. HE GOES HELP ME, HELP ME.

Reporter: AS LIFEGUARDS

JUMPED INTO BEGIN CPR, THESE

TWO PASTORS REALIZED THAT THE

DROWNED GIRL WAS THEIR

NINE-YEAR-OLD DAUGHTER ANNIE.

DURING THE CPR I NOTICED

THAT ANNIE WAS BLUE FROM HER

CHEST UP. SHE WAS HAVING HER

EYES ROLLED BACK IN HER HEAD.

SHE WAS LIFELESS. SHE WAS ONLY

NINE YEARS OLD. AND, I FELT

VERY HELPLESS AND I SAID GOD,

PLEASE DO NOT TAKE HER. LET HER

COME BACK.

I WAS AT HER FEET JUST

PRAYING THAT THE CPR WOULD

WORK. I WAS PRAYING THAT SHE

WOULD COME BACK TO LIFE.

Reporter: WHEN AN AMBULANCE

ARRIVED, THEY GAVE ANTI-OXYGEN

AND THEY RUSHED HER TO A

HOSPITAL TWO MINUTES AWAY. WHEN

THEY ARRIVED AT THE EMERGENCY

ROOM, DOCTORS TOLD THEM

ALTHOUGH SHE WAS STABILIZED,

AND HE WAS STILL CRITICAL. SHE

HAD SUFFERED CARDIAC ARREST AND

RESPIRATORY FAILURE. NOW SHE

WAS IN A COMATOSE STATE. SHE

NEEDED TO BE LIFE LIGHTED TO A

MEMORIAL HOSPITAL, ANOTHER

HOSPITAL FOR SPECIALIZED CARE.

I WAS CONCERNED ABOUT HER.

THAT IS WHEN IT REALLY STARTED

TO CLICK THAT SHE IS NOT OKAY.

EVEN THOUGH SHE IS BREATHING

AND WONDERING WHAT IS GOING ON

THERE AND IF SHE WOULD EVER BE

THE SAME.

Reporter: ON THE DRIVE, THE

POWELLS PRAYED, THEY CALLED ON

FRIENDS AND MEMBERS OF THE

CHURCH TO PRAY WITH THEM.

PRAYERS TO GOD, PLEASE RAISE

MY ANNIE, PLEASE GIVE HER BACK

TO ME.

Reporter: AFTER THE CHOPPER

LANDED, DOCTORS SAID THE NEXT

72 HOURS WERE CRITICAL. NOW IN

A MEDICALLY INDUCED COMA, HER

BLOOD AND OXYGEN LEVELS WERE

DANGEROUSLY LOW. THE EXTENDED

TIME WITHOUT OXYGEN MIGHT HAVE

CAUSED IRREVERSIBLE DAMAGE TO

HER HEART AND BRAIN IF SHE

SURVIVED. EVEN THEN, DAVE AND

KATHY HELD ONTO HOPE.

SHE LOOKED LIKE A LITTLE

ROBOT. SHE HAD A CAP ON HER

HEAD WITH ALL OF THESE WIRES. I

FOUND OUT THAT WAS FOR

MEASURING SEIZURES. I JUST

FELT SO HELPLESS. I COULD NOT

DO ANYTHING TO HELP HER.

Reporter: BY NOW, DOZENS OF

PEOPLE FILLED THE HOSPITAL

WAITING ROOM, PRAYING FOR A

MIRACLE.

ALL WE COULD DO WAS JUST

LEAN ON GOD AND PRAY. LORD,

JUST HELP US. HELP ANNIE AT

THIS POINT. EVEN HELP THE

DOCTORS. GIVE THEM THE WISDOM

AND HELP THEM TO BE ABLE TO

HELP HER.

Reporter: THE FOLLOWING DAY,

SUNDAY, THE POWELLS HOME CHURCH

FOUND A SPECIAL TIME OF PRAYER

FOR ANNIE AND HER FAMILY.

THEY WERE SAYING ARISE

ANNIE, RISE ANNIE. [ CRYING ]

THAT TOUCHED MY HEART. FROM

THAT POINT ON I KNEW, I KNEW IN

MY HEART THAT SHE WOULD BE

OKAY.

Reporter: PRAYERS CONTINUE

THROUGHOUT THE DAY AND INTO THE

NIGHT. THE NEXT DAY AT THE

HOSPITAL, DAVE AND KATHY GOT

THE GOOD NEWS. ANNIE'S OXYGEN

AND BLOOD LEVELS HAD STARTED TO

IMPROVE. TWO DAYS LATER ON

WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON, DOCTORS

BROUGHT ANNIE OUT OF HER COMA.

AS SHE AWOKE, DOCTORS ASKED

HER TO MOVE HER FINGERS,

LOOKING FOR SIGNS SHE WAS AWARE

AND COULD MOVE.

THE DOCTOR WAS LEANING DOWN

LIKE THIS AND ANNIE THRUST HER

FIST IN HER FACED. FROM

THAT POINT ON THE DOCTORS SAID

SHE WAS GOING TO BE OKAY. I

KNEW MY FEISTY AND HE WAS BACK.

OBVIOUSLY THE ANSWER TO PRAYER,

THANK YOU GOD, THANK YOU LORD,

THANK YOU GOD, WE ARE JUST

PRAISING GOD.

Reporter: WHILE ANNIE DOES

NOT REMEMBER MUCH, SHE

REMEMBERS GOING TO HEAVEN.

WHILE IN THE HELICOPTER, ANNIE

DIED AND HAD TO BE

RESUSCITATED.

I SAW BUTTERFLIES AND THEY

WERE ALL DIFFERENT COLORS. THEY

WERE NOT JUST REGULAR EVERYDAY

COLORS. THEY WERE COLORS YOU

COULD NOT EVEN IMAGINE. I FELT

VERY HAPPY AND THANKFUL AND I

FELT VERY LOVED. I JUST FELT

IT ALL AROUND ME.

SHE SAYS SHE ALSO REMEMBER

SOMEBODY HELPING HER IN THE

POOL.

THERE WAS A MAN IN WHITE. HE

WAS HELPING ME IN THE POOL. I

THINK MAYBE IT WAS JESUS OR

MAYBE IT WAS AN ANGEL.

Reporter: JUST FIVE DAYS

AFTER DROWNING, AND HE WAS

RELEASED FROM THE HOSPITAL WITH

NO COGNITIVE OR PHYSICAL

IMPAIRMENT. SHE HAD NO MEMORY

LOSS. TODAY, AND HE IS HAPPY

AND DOING WELL IN SCHOOL. SHE

AND HER PARENTS TELL EVERYONE

NOTHING IS IMPOSSIBLE WHEN YOU

TRUST GOD.

I AM VERY HAPPY TODAY

BECAUSE I GET TO DO HOBBIES

THAT I LIKE LIKE RIDING MY BIKE

OR READING BOOKS WHEN I PRAYED

TO GOD AND I THANK GOD FOR

EVERYTHING, I ALWAYS SAY THANK

YOU GOD FOR LETTING ME LIVE.

WE CAN TRUST ON RELY ON HIM

THAT NO MATTER WHAT WE GO

THROUGH, GOD IS THERE TO HELP

US.

I WANT TO ENCOURAGE

EVERYBODY THAT HE IS THE GOD

THAT CAN MAKE THE IMPOSSIBLE

POSSIBLE.

HE CAN MAKE THE IMPOSSIBLE

POSSIBLE. HE WANTS TO DO THAT

FOR YOU. HERE IS WHAT THE

SCRIPTURE SAYS. ALL THINGS ARE

POSSIBLE TO THEM THAT BELIEVE.

NOW, LET ME SPELL IT OUT FOR

YOU. IT IS NOT TO THEM THAT

HAVE IT ALL FIGURED OUT. IT IS

TO THEM THAT BELIEVE. NOW, FOR

THE PEOPLE PRAYING FOR ANNIE,

THEY ARE PRAYING RISE ANNIE

RISE. DID THEY HAVE IT FIGURED

OUT AS TO HOW THAT WAS GOING TO

HAPPEN? FOR THE PARENTS, DID

THEY HAVE ANY OF IT FIGURED

OUT? DID THE DOCTORS HAVE IT

FIGURED OUT? NO. THEY WERE

DOING THE BEST THAT THEY KNEW

HOW. THEY WERE DOING THE BEST

THAT MEDICAL SCIENCE COULD DO.

GOD INTERVENED. GOD, THE ONE

CHICK WHO IS ABLE TO CREATE

JUST FROM THE SOUND OF HIS

VOICE, HE CALLS THINGS INTO

BEING. HE CALLS THINGS THAT

HAVE NEVER EXISTED BEFORE. HE

CAN DO THE IMPOSSIBLE. ALL

THINGS ARE POSSIBLE WHEN YOU

BELIEVE THAT. THIS IS WHEN YOU

WALK INTO THAT. THIS IS WHEN

YOU SAY I CANNOT DO THIS. YOU

CAN. AND, HERE IS MY PRAYER.

HERE IS MY PLEA . YOU KEEP ON

ASKING, YOU KEEP ON KNOCKING.

THIS IS THROUGH THE DAYS.

SUDDENLY, FIVE DAYS AFTER

DROWNING, FIVE DAYS AFTER

DEATH, AND HE COMES BACK. ANNIE

RISES. THIS IS JUST WHAT THEY

ASKED FOR, JUST WHAT THEY

PRAYED FOR. NO CONSEQUENCES, NO

IMPACT, NO IMPAIRMENT. PERFECT

. WHAT AN AMAZING MIRACLE! CAN

I EXPLAIN IT? NO, I CANNOT. IF

I COULD, IT WOULD NOT BE A

MIRACLE. NOW, ALL THINGS ARE

POSSIBLE TO THEM WHO BELIEVE.

GET THAT STRAIGHT. DO YOU

BELIEVE? DO YOU BELIEVE? DO YOU

BELIEVE IN THE ONE CHICK THAT

GOD SENT? DO YOU BELIEVE THAT

HE LIVED A SINLESS LIFE? DO YOU

BELIEVE THAT HE DIED ON THE

CROSS FOR YOU? DO YOU BELIEVE

THAT BY HIS STRIPES, YOU ARE

HEALED? YOU WERE HEALED. DO YOU

BELIEVE IN THE RESURRECTION? DO

YOU BELIEVE THAT SAME

RESURRECTION POWER IS IN YOU

QUESTION MARK THESE ARE

INCREDIBLE THINGS THAT THE

BIBLE SAYS. DO YOU BELIEVE

THEM? WHEN WE WALK INTO THAT

BELIEVE TRULY, ALL THINGS ARE

POSSIBLE. NOW, TERRY AND I ARE

GOING TO PRAY FOR YOU. HERE IS

ANOTHER VERSE. WHEN TWO OR MORE

ARE AGREED TOUCHING ANYTHING,

IT SHALL BE DONE. LET TERRY BE

HERE AS WELL. WE WILL AGREE

WITH YOU. WE WILL LET GOD DO

ALL THE REST. LET'S PRAY. LORD,

FOR ANYONE NEEDING A MIRACLE

RIGHT NOW, WE DECLARE OVER THEM

ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE. FOR

ANYONE LYING IN A HOSPITAL BED,

ANYONE ON A VENTILATOR, ANYONE

DOCTORS SAY WE DO NOT WANT TO

DO ANYMORE. ALL THINGS ARE

POSSIBLE. SO, STRETCH FORTH

YOUR HAND TO DO MIRACLES. WE

SAY TO THEM NOW RISE UP . BY

THE AUTHORITY GIVEN TO US AS

BELIEVERS IN JESUS CHRIST,

RISE. RISE AND BEHOLD. BE

RESTORED NOW. THIS IS IN JESUS

NAME. LET THERE BE NO MORE

PAIN. LET THERE BE NO MORE

IMPAIRMENT. ANYONE IN A COMA,

WAKE UP NOW IN THE NAME OF

JESUS. WE RECEIVE IT FROM YOU.

THIS IS BECAUSE WE BELIEVE IN

WHAT YOU HAVE ALREADY DONE.

TERRY, GOD HAS GIVEN YOU SOME

INFORMATION.

SOMEBODY HAS AN EYE

CONDITION. IT DEALS WITH

SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE

MUSCLES IN YOUR I. THERE IS NOT

ENOUGH TENSION. GOD IS

CORRECTING THAT FOR YOU. RIGHT

NOW YOUR EYESIGHT IS GOING TO

BE PERFECT.

THERE IS SOMEBODY WHO HAS A

BRAIN TUMOR AND IT HAS IMPAIRED

THEIR COGNITIVE ABILITY. GOD IS

ABLE TO SHRINK THE TUMOR AND

GROSS CELLS AGAIN. THIS IS IN

JESUS NAME. BE HELD AND BE

MOBILE. IF YOU HAVE BEEN

HEALED, LET US KNOW. COLLIS AT

1-800-700-7000. HERE IS A WORD

FROM PSALMS, BLESS THE LORD O

MY SOUL AND FORGET NOT ALL HIS

BENEFITS. HE FORGIVES ALL YOUR

INEQUITIES AND HE HEALS ALL OF
