WELL WELCOME TO THE 700

CLUB. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR

JOINING WITH US. POLITICAL

UNREST IS SHAKING ISRAEL. THIS

IS AS THE PRIME MINISTER

ATTEMPTS TO REFORM THE

JUDICIAL SYSTEM. TENS OF

THOUSANDS OF ISRAELIS HE

PROTESTED IN TEL AVIV THIS

WEEKEND IS DEMANDING THE PRIME

MINISTER BE REMOVED FROM POWER.

ISRAEL'S PRESIDENT SAYS HE

IS WORKING TO AVERT A

CONSTITUTIONAL CRISIS. CHRIS

MITCHELL REPORTS FROM JERUSALEM

AS HIM ON THAT RISING CONFLICT.

Reporter: THE NEARLY 80,000

DEMONSTRATORS WARNED THAT

CHANGES TO THE JUDICIAL SYSTEM

ARE A MAJOR THREAT.

THE CHANGES BEING PROPOSED

ARE GOING TO THE CORE OF THE

WAY THIS COUNTRY IS MANAGED AND

ORGANIZED.

Reporter: AT SUNDAY'S

CABINET MEETING, THE PRIME

MINISTER PUSHED BACK AGAINST

THE DEMONSTRATORS WHICH

INCLUDED MEMBERS OF THE ISRAELI

LEFT, ANTIFA MEMBERS, AND

PEOPLE CARRYING PALESTINIAN

FLAGS.

Translator: TWO MONTHS AGO

THERE WAS A HUGE DEMONSTRATION

IN ISRAEL, THE MOTHER OF ALL

DEMONSTRATIONS. THE PEOPLE TOOK

TO THE STREETS TO VOTE. ONE OF

THE MAIN ISSUES IS A REFORM IN

THE JUDICIAL SYSTEM.

Reporter: THE REFORMS ARE

INTENDED TO GIVE THE GOVERNMENT

MORE CONTROL OVER THE

JUDICIARY. ONE PROPOSAL WOULD

ALLOW A SIMPLE MAJORITY THE

POWER TO OVERTURN A SUPREME

COURT RULING. THIS REDUCES THE

POWER OF THE SUPREME COURT

WHICH CRITICS BELIEVE HAS

OVERSTEPPED ITS BOUNDS IN

RECENT YEARS. SOME ARE EVEN

CALLING AT THE MOST ACTIVIST

COURT IN THE WORLD. ONE

SUGGESTED COMPROMISE WOULD BE

THAT IS SPECIAL OR SUPER

MAJORITY IN THE GOVERNMENT

COULD OVERTURN A RULING OF THE

SUPREME COURT. THE BATTLE OVER

THE JUDICIAL SYSTEM PUTS LARGE

SEGMENTS OF ISRAELI'S SOCIETY

AT ODDS. ONLY 42% OF ISRAELIS

TRUST THE SUPREME COURT. THE

LEADER OF THE TEL AVIV

DEMONSTRATION CALLED ON ISRAELI

PRESIDENT TO DECLARE BENJAMIN

UNFIT FOR OFFICE. HE IS TRYING

TO MEDIATE BETWEEN THE TWO

CAMPS.

Translator: I AM FOCUSED ON

TWO CRITICAL ROLES I BELIEVE I

BEAR. I WANT TO AVERT

CONSTITUTIONAL CRISIS AND STOP

THE CONTINUED RIFT WITHIN OUR

NATION.

Reporter: THE BATTLE IS

LIKELY TO INTENSIFY. THE LEADER

OF THE TEL AVIV DEMONSTRATION

SAID THAT IT WAS JUST THE

BEGINNING OF THE COUNTERATTACK.

THE GOVERNMENT WILL PROCEED

WITH HEARINGS TO ENACT THESE

REFORMS. CHRIS MITCHELL, CBN

NEWS, JERUSALEM.

IT SEEMS LIKE THE WHOLE

WORLD IS SHAKING WHETHER IT IS

ISRAEL OR BRAZIL ARE RIGHT HERE

IN THE UNITED STATES, IT ALL

HAS TO DO WITH THE VARIOUS ARMS

OF GOVERNMENT EXCEEDING THEIR

MANDATES. THEY ARE EXCEEDING

WHAT IS ALLOWED. WHAT IS

HAPPENING HERE IS BENJAMIN, THE

PRIME MINISTER WAS ACCUSED OF

CORRUPTION. UNDERLYING THAT

CASE IS HE GAVE A CABINET

MINUTE POSITION TO AN OWNER OF

THE NEW SERVICE. AND

SUPPOSEDLY, HE TRADED THAT

POSITION FOR FAVORABLE NEWS

COVERAGE. IF THAT IS CORRUPTION

THAT EVERY AMBASSADOR EVER

APPOINTED BY ANY GOVERNMENT OR

ANY CAP THAT OFFICER OR ANY

MINISTER IN ANY GOVERNMENT IS

SOMEHOW LINKED TO CORRUPTION.

THAT IS THE DEAL. YOU

SUPPORTIVE PRIME MINISTER, YOU

SUPPORT A PRESIDENT. IN THAT

SUPPORT, YOU GET THE VIC TO.

THE VICTOR GETS THE SPOILS. SO,

THIS IS A REACTION TO THAT. THE

SUPREME COURT OF ISRAEL WAS

PART OF IT . THEY ALLOWED THESE

CASES TO GO FORWARD. WE HAVE

SEEN THIS IN THE UNITED STATES.

IT IS THE WEAPONIZATION OF THE

JUDICIAL PROCESS. TOM IS THE

POSTER CHILD. HE GOT INDICTED

OUT OF TEXAS. IT TOOK THE

FIFTH CIRCUIT TO OVERTURN THAT.

RIGHT HERE IN VIRGINIA WE HAD A

GOVERNOR WHO WAS INDICTED IN

CONVICT . THEN IT TOOK THE

SUPREME COURT TO SAY NO, YOUR

STANDARD IS OFF IF THIS IS THE

STANDARD THAN ANY POLITICAL

DEAL IN THE HISTORY OF THE

UNITED STATES IS NOW SUSPECT.

YOU CANNOT GO FORWARD WITH THE

GOVERNMENT. SO, IT IS THE

RESPONSE , MAYBE THEY WILL BE

ABLE TO OVERRULE THE SUPREME

COURT. IS THAT THE WAY FORWARD?

IN THE UNITED STATES WE HAVE

HAD INCREDIBLE BATTLES FOR

SUPREME COURT JUSTICES. THIS

IS ALL BECAUSE THE JUDICIARY

STARTED LEGISLATING FROM THE

BENCH. THEY STARTED CHANGING

THINGS WITHOUT THE APPROVAL OF

THE PEOPLE. WHEN UNELECTED

JUDGES GO PAST THEIR

BOUNDARIES, THAT IS WHAT THE

RESPONSES. PEOPLE SAY WE HAVE

TO DO SOMETHING . FOR THE PRIME

MINISTER, IT IS VERY PERSONAL.

HE HAS BEEN UNDER A BRIBERY

INDICTMENT FOR YEARS. THERE HAS

BEEN NO RESOLUTION. IT WAS ALL

AN ATTEMPT TO GET HIM OUT OF

THE PRIME MINISTER ROLE. NOW WE

ARE SEEING AN ATTEMPT AGAIN. I

HOPE JUDGES, I HAVE PROSECUTORS

TAKE THIS SERIOUSLY. WE SOUGHT

UNDER PRESIDENT TRUMP. WE SAW

THE NUMBER OF TIMES THE

DEMOCRATS WOULD LOOK FOR A

FAVORABLE JURISDICTION. THEY

WOULD GO AFTER HIM ON

IMMIGRATION POLICY. THEY SAID

IT WAS SKEWED AND THEN THEY

WOULD GET A FEDERAL DISTRICT

CHURCH COURT JUDGE TO ISSUE AN

INJUNCTION. IT TOOK THE SUPREME

COURT TO SAY YOU CANNOT HAMPER

A SITTING ADMINISTRATION WITH

THESE KINDS OF THINGS. WILL WE

SEE MORE OF THIS? MY PREDICTION

IS YES. THE WHOLE WORLD SEEMS

TO BE POLARIZED. AND,

EVERYTHING THAT CAN BE SHAKEN

IS BEING SHAKEN. WE AS

CHRISTIANS HAVE GOOD NEWS. WE

HAVE A GOVERNMENT THAT CAN

NEVER BE SHAKEN. LET'S TURN AND

ASK FOR THAT GOVERNMENT TO

INTERVENE.

> IN OTHER NEWS, FORMER

PRESIDENT TRUMP IS CALLING OUT

PRESIDENT BIDEN FOR HIS

CLASSIFIED DOCUMENT SCANDAL.

WENDY GRIFFITH HAS MORE THAT

STORY FROM THE CBN NEWSROOM.

WENDY?

Reporter: PRESIDENT TRUMP IS

OF COURSE EMBROILED IN HIS OWN

CONTROVERSY OVER THE HANDLING

OF CLASSIFIED MATERIAL. IN

AUGUST, THE A THE I RATED HIS

MARA LAGO RESORT TO GET HIM 100

DOCUMENTS BACK AFTER MONTH OF

NEGOTIATIONS FAILED. IN AN

INTERVIEW WITH CBN, TRUMP SAID

BIDEN'S CAGES MUCH MORE

SERIOUS.

OBVIOUSLY IT IS A COVER-UP.

IT IS A VERY SAD SITUATION. WE

HAVE A MUCH DIFFERENT

SITUATION. I WAS PRESIDENT. I

HAVE THE RIGHT TO DECLASSIFY AS

PRESIDENT. THE VICE PRESIDENT

CANNOT DO THAT. WE HAD

LITERALLY A FORTRESS HERE. YOU

COULD SAY IT IS AN ARMED

FORTRESS. WE WERE LOCKED AND

WE WERE READY AND WE HAD SECRET

SERVICE. WE ALSO HAD OUR

SECURITY BUT WE HAD SECRET

SERVICE THERE AT ALL TIMES. SO

IT IS A MUCH DIFFERENT

SITUATION. NOW I SEE THAT THEY

HAVE THERE CLASSIFIED DOCUMENT

SITTING ON THE FLOOR AND A BIG

PART OF THE GARAGE. THAT IS A

BIG PROBLEM FOR THEM. IT BRINGS

OBAMA INTO THE PICTURES YOU CAN

IMAGINE BECAUSE THE DOCUMENTS,

THEY ARE OBAMA DOCUMENTS. IT IS

FROM THE OBAMA ADMINISTRATION.

I GUESS WE ARE WONDERING WHY HE

ALLOW THAT TO HAPPEN.

Reporter: THREE SETS OF

CLASSIFIED DOCUMENTS, 20

ALTOGETHER HAVE BEEN DISCOVERED

AT BIDEN'S HOME AND FORMER

OFFICE. HOUSE REPUBLICANS ARE

PURSUING INVESTIGATIONS CALLING

FOR A LIST OF VISITORS AT

BIDEN'S HIM TO BE RELEASED. THE

WHITE HOUSE SAYS NO SUCH LOG

EXISTS .

> CHURCHGOERS IN SELMA

ALABAMA ARE CELEBRATING A

MIRACLE OF SURVIVAL AFTER A

TORNADO TORE THROUGH THE CITY

LAST WEEK. THE TWISTER

DESTROYED THE DAYCARE AT

CROSSPOINT CHRISTIAN CHURCH.

THE WALLS AND CEILING COLLAPSED

INTO CLASSROOMS. THANKFULLY ALL

70 CHILDREN AND THEIR TEACHERS

SURVIVED BY TAKING COVER INSIDE

BATHROOMS. THE CHURCH AND THE

PASTOR CALLED THE ESCAPE

NOTHING BUT THE GRACE OF GOD.

THE TORNADO DEVASTATED MUCH OF

THE HISTORIC CITY OF SELMA. IT

IS FAMOUS AS A FLASHPOINT FOR

THE CIVIL RIGHTS MOVEMENT. THE

CITY'S CHURCHES ARE GIVING OUT

FOOD AND OTHER SUPPLIES TO THE

VIC'S. GORDON, IT IS A

MIRACLE.

IT IS A MIRACLE. THANK GOD

FOR IT. HE IS ARE VERY PRESENT

HELP IN TIME OF TROUBLE. YOU

CAN ALWAYS REACH OUT IN PRAYER.

WE WILL BE BACK WITH MORE OF

THE 700 CLUB RIGHT AFTER THIS.

> DONNA WANTED TO START A NEW

AT-HOME BUSINESS. HE PURCHASED

EQUIPMENT ON CREDIT TOTALING

$25,000. THE PROBLEM? DONALD

DID NOT TELL HIS WIFE AND TO

MAKE MATTERS WORSE, THIS WAS

NOT THE FIRST TIME.

Reporter: DONALD AND ABBY

USED SOCIAL MEDIA TO HELP

FELLOW MILLENNIALS MANAGE THEIR

MARRIAGE AND FAMILY. ONE THING

THEY SHARED A LOT ABOUT IS

DEBT. THIS IS BECAUSE THEY HAVE

HAD TO OVERCOME IT TWICE. THE

SECOND TIME CAME AS A SURPRISE

TO ABBY.

I SAW DOCUMENT THAT WAS

SAVED. IT WAS A CREDIT CARD

STATEMENT. I OPENED IT UP AND

IT WAS SEVERAL THOUSAND

DOLLARS. IT TURNS OUT THAT

THERE WAS A TOTAL OF $25,000

THAT MY HUSBAND HAD ACCRUED IN

DEBT. I DID NOT KNOW ABOUT IT.

THIS MAKES USING THE --

Reporter: DONALD LEFT

TEACHING TO START A FULL-TIME

VOICEOVER BUSINESS. ABBY AGREED

TO PUT HER SALARY TOWARDS THE

BILLS EVEN THOUGH SHE WANTED TO

BE AT HOME OR WITH HER

DAUGHTER.

MY DAUGHTER IS GETTING

OLDER. I DO NOT WANT TO BE

MISSING OUT ON THINGS WITH HER

BECAUSE I'M WORKING SO MUCH.

Reporter: DONALD WENT INTO

DEBT BECAUSE HE WANTED TO GET

THE BUSINESS OFF THE GROUND.

I SAID OKAY IF I CAN JUST

GET EVERYTHING THAT I NEED,

THEN I WILL BE ABLE TO ARRIVE

IN THAT PLACE THAT WILL MAKE ME

FEEL LIKE OKAY I AM GOOD NOW.

IT WAS NOT UNTIL MUCH LATER

THAT I REALLY FELT THE GRAVITY

OF THE FINANCIAL INFIDELITY.

Reporter: HE HAD ALWAYS HAD

THE MENTALITY THAT BORROWING

MONEY TO SUCCEED WAS NORMAL. IN

FACT, WITH A COUPLE MARRIED,

THEY WERE $160,000 IN THE HOLE.

MOST OF THE DEBT WAS DONALD'S.

IT IS A PART OF LIVING IN

OUR SOCIETY. WE HAVE ACCESS TO

THESE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS.

INITIALLY I WAS SO

DISCOURAGED. I FELT LIKE ALL

THAT WE HAD DONE, DID HE NOT

LEARN ANYTHING FROM IT. DID HE

NOT LEARN ANYTHING FROM PAYING

SIX FIGURES? DOES HE KNOW HOW

MUCH WERE HARD WORK THAT TAKES?

I WAS UNDER THE IMPRESSION WE

WERE NEVER GOING BACK.

I DO NOT THINK ON A SOUL

LEVEL I REALLY GOT IT. IT DID

NOT CLICK HOW SIGNIFICANT IT

WAS. THERE WAS STILL PLACES IN

MY LIFE THAT I WAS UNSATISFIED.

Reporter: ONLY AFTER

DONALD'S SECRET THAT WAS

EXPOSED DID HE WANT TO LOOK AT

WHAT KEPT DRIVING HIM INTO DEBT

.

FOR ME I BEGAN TO SEE LIKE

WOW, THERE IS SOMETHING OFF. IT

REALLY WAS A TOOL THAT THE LORD

USED. HE USED IT IN MY LIFE TO

BRING ME BACK TO HIM. I BEGAN

TO PRAY AND ASK GOD TO HELP ME

TO SEE THE ERROR OF MY WAYS

CORRECTLY. THE ROOT OF THAT WAS

I DO NOT WANT TO FAIL. I AM

AFRAID. I AM CHARGING UP AND I

AM OVER LEVERAGING LIKE ON

CREDIT. THIS IS OPPOSED TO

BEING OKAY WITH THE PAIN OF

HAVING TO MOVE SLOWER. IT KIND

OF GIVES YOU A PERCEIVED WAY OF

GETTING WHAT YOU NEED NOW.

Reporter: HE FOUND THAT EVEN

THOUGH HE AND ABBY HAD BEEN

TYPING THROUGHOUT THEIR

MARRIAGE, SOMETIMES FOR HIM IT

WAS MORE AN OBLIGATION THAN

ANYTHING ELSE. PUTTING GOD

FIRST IN HIS FINANCES WAS NOT

ALWAYS HIS PRIORITY.

THERE WAS A POINT WHERE WHEN

DONALD WAS PAYING OFF THE LAST

4000 OF THAT 25,000, I ASKED

HIM ONE DAY. I ASKED HIM ARE

YOU TITHING THE MONEY YOU ARE

GETTING. HE SAID NO I'M TRYING

TO PUT IT ALL TOWARDS THE DEBT.

I BELIEVED THAT IF I HELD

ONTO MY TITHE, IT WOULD BE WHAT

I NEEDED TO TAKE CARE OF WHAT I

HAD TO TAKE CARE OF. IT WAS THE

OPPOSITE. GOD WAS LIKE YOU HAVE

ENOUGH FAITH AND TRUST THAT

EVERYTHING THAT I GIVE YOU HIS

MIND? WHENEVER YOU LET GO OF

WHAT IS IN YOUR HANDS AS A

WORSHIP ON TO ME, IT ACTUALLY

BLESSES THE REST OF IT.

Reporter: DONALD HAS BEEN

FULLY COMMITTED TO TRUSTING GOD

WITH HIS MONEY. THE COUPLE PAID

OFF THEIR SECOND ROUND OF DEBT

AND GAVE WITHOUT RESERVATIONS.

GOING FROM THE RELIGIOSITY

OF IT AND WHERE I STAND NOW,

IT IS A FREE GIVING. THERE IS A

JOY TO IT. IT IS A NIGHT AND

DAY DIFFERENCE. IT HAS BEEN THE

KEY TO BUSINESS SUCCESS.

Reporter: DONALD HAS SEEN

HIS INCOME TRIPLE WHAT HE MADE

AS A TEACHER. ABBY HAS BEEN

ABLE TO LEAVE HER JOB TO BE A

STAY-AT-HOME MOM.

I CAN DEFINITELY SAY THAT MY

TITHING AND MY GIVING OF

OFFERINGS, SOMETIMES GIVING

ABOVE AND BEYOND, THERE IS

BUSINESS OPPORTUNITIES AND I AM

LIKE OKAY. I DID NOT EDITION

FOR THAT.

Reporter: THEY ENCOURAGE

OTHERS WHO WANT TO BE FREE FROM

THE CYCLE OF DEBT. EXAMINE

WHERE GOD IS IN THE MIDST OF

THE EQUATION. GIVE.

THERE IS NOTHING LIKE

TOUCHING YOUR MONEY THAT IS

GOING TO HELP YOU KNOW WHERE

YOUR HEART IS SET ON SOMETHING.

WE TITHE BECAUSE WE RECOGNIZE

HE COULD THE FIRST. HE IS THE

ONE WHO HAS KEPT US. HE IS THE

ONE WHO HAS SUSTAINED US.

IT REALLY IS A WAY FOR YOU

TO EXPERIENCE THE FULLNESS OF

WHAT IT MEANS TO BE A CHILD OF

THE KING, A VERY GENEROUS KING

AT THAT.

HE IS A VERY GENEROUS KING.

GOD SO LOVED THE WORLD THAT HE

GAVE. HE GAVE HIS ONLY BEGOTTEN

SON FOR YOU AND ME. THIS IS SO

THAT WE COULD HAVE ETERNAL

LIFE. AND, HE IS ASKING US TO

TAKE ON THAT SAME IMAGE. IT IS

TO BE LIKE JESUS. IT IS TO BE

WILLING TO SAY I WILL GIVE. I

WILL BE GENEROUS. I WILL GO

OVER AND ABOVE.

> HERE IS A PRINCIPAL FROM

THE BOOK OF DEUTERONOMY. NEVER

THINK THAT IT WAS YOUR OWN

STRENGTH AND ENERGY THAT MADE

YOU WEALTHY. ALWAYS REMEMBER

THAT IT IS THE LORD YOUR GOD

WHO GIVES YOU THE POWER TO

BECOME RICH. AND HE GIVES THAT

TO YOU WHEN YOU SHOW YOURSELF

THAT YOU ARE GENEROUS. YOU SHOW

THAT YOU ARE WILLING AND A

CHEERFUL GIVER.

> LONNIE HAD BEEN WORKING

CONSTRUCTION WHEN HE WAS

SUDDENLY LAID OUT. STILL BEFORE

LONG, HE WAS ABLE TO LAND A

HIGH-PAYING TECH JOB AT A

TELECOMMUNICATION'S GIANT .

EVEN THOUGH HE HAD NO

EXPERIENCE OR QUALIFICATIONS IN

THE FIELD, HE GOT THE JOB. HOW

DOES THIS EVEN HAPPEN? THAT IS

THE VERY QUESTION LONNIE ASKED

HIMSELF.

Reporter: ARMY VETERAN

LONNIE ERNEST NEED TO MAKE A

BETTER LIVING AFTER SERVING IN

THE MILITARY. HE LEFT HIS

FAMILY'S SMALL SOUTH TEXAS

RANCH AND MOVED TO AUSTIN WITH

HIS WIFE TO LAND CONSTRUCTION

WORK.

IT WAS DIFFICULT TO LEAVE

THE RANCH. THAT WAS ALL I KNEW

GROWING UP AS A CHILD. IT WAS

HEARTBREAKING TO DO THAT.

Reporter: CONSTRUCTION

WELDING DID NOT OFFER THE

STABILITY HE WANTED EITHER.

WE HAD JUST FINISHED A

BRIDGE OVER MAJOR PARKING

AUSTIN. THE FOREMAN COMES UP

AND SAYS YOU GUYS ARE ALL LAID

OFF. IT SEEMED HOPELESS. WHEN I

READ THE BIBLE, THERE IS A

PROVERB THAT SAYS PROSPERITY,

PEACE AND I WONDERED YOU KNOW

WHY WASN'T I SEEING THOSE

BENEFITS.

Reporter: THE COUPLE

SURVIVED WITH LOW-RENT, THRIFT

BUYS AND FOOD BANKS. LONNIE

LOOKED FOR MORE WORK. AFTER

THEY PAY THEIR BILLS LONNIE AND

STANLEY SOMETIMES GAVE AT

CHURCH IF THEY HAD A LITTLE

EXTRA. A TITHE TOOK A BACKSEAT

TO OTHER PRIORITIES.

LIVING PAYCHECK TO PAYCHECK

IT WAS VERY DIFFICULT. HOW ARE

WE GOING TO LET THAT GO? ONE

NIGHT LONNIE REDEDICATED HIS

LIFE TO CHRIST.

I SAID LORD, YOU KNOW I

THOUGHT I WAS ALWAYS LIVING

FREE UP UNTIL THIS POINT. I WAS

CONVICT DID. I SAID I DEDICATE

MY LIFE TO YOU. I REDEDICATE MY

LIFE TO YOU. I WANT THAT

RELATIONSHIP WITH YOU. SHOW ME

HOW I CAN DO THAT.

Reporter: ONE WAY HE DID SO

WAS MAKING THE DECISION TO

CONSISTENTLY TITHE.

THERE WAS A SELF REFLECTION

THAT MADE THE BELL GO OFF. IT

IS NOT THE LORD THAT IS HOLDING

BACK, IT IS ME.

Reporter: HE LEFT

CONSTRUCTION AND WORKED AS A

CONTRACTOR INSTALLING I.T.

CABLES FOR MOTOROLA.

THE DIRECTOR OF I.T. APPROACHED

LONNIE AFTER HE NOTICED

COMMENTS LONNIE MADE IN THE

COMPANY NEWSLETTER.

HE SAYS YOU KNOW, WE REALLY

LIKE YOUR ATTITUDE. WE WANT TO

HAVE YOU AS A PART OF OUR TEAM

ALL THE TIME. WE HAVE A JOB

OPENING FOR A COMPUTER

TECHNICIAN AND I THINK YOU

WOULD BE GOOD FOR THAT. I WANT

YOU TO APPLY FOR IT.

Reporter: EVEN THOUGH HE DID

NOT HAVE EXPERIENCE, LONNIE

BELIEVE THE INTERVIEW WAS A

GODSEND OPPORTUNITY FOR NEW

HIGH-PAYING CAREER.

TO PREPARE MYSELF FOR THE

INTERVIEW, I BOUGHT A BOOK

CALLED THE MAC BIBLE. I READ

THAT BOOK COVER TO COVER. I DID

THAT TWO OR THREE TIMES BEFORE

I INTERVIEWED.

Reporter: WHEN MOTOROLA

OFFERED LONNIE THE JOB, IT

DOUBLED HIS SALARY.

IT WAS A DREAM COME TRUE. I

MEAN, FROM A YOUNG MAN GROWING

UP ON A CATTLE RANCH, HOW DOES

THIS EVEN HAPPEN? I DO NOT HAVE

AN I.T. BACKGROUND ATTRIBUTED

TO MY CAREER. I WAS PRACTICING

TITHING AND THAT IS WHAT DID

IT.

Reporter: AT THE FAMILY WAS

ALSO ABLE TO BUY A HOME.

IN MY MIND IT WAS LIKE OKAY,

IF I AM BEING BLESSED LIKE THIS

THAT I CAN BLESS OTHERS EVEN

MORE.

Reporter: HE WAS A REGULAR

VIEWER OF THE 700 CLUB. HE

DECIDED TO BECOME A CBN

PARTNER.

CBN IS SOMETHING WE HAVE

BEEN DOING FOR MANY YEARS. THAT

MEDIA YOU KNOW JUST BEING ABLE

TO GET OUT THERE AND WATCH ON

THE TELEVISION AND THROUGH THE

INTERNET AND TO SHARE THE

GOSPEL, IT IS SO IMPORTANT.

LOOK AT ALL OF THE GOOD THAT IS

BEING DONE. THIS IS HAVING A

GLOBAL IMPACT. OPERATION

BLESSING, THE WAR IN UKRAINE,

OPERATION BLESSING IS THERE.

THE WORK THAT THEY DO TO

IMPROVE THE QUALITY OF LIFE,

THAT IS WONDERFUL. THAT SHOWS

YOU THE HANDS AND FEET OF JESUS

THAT ARE OUT THERE TO HELP

PEOPLE.

Reporter: BY 2018 HIS INCOME

HAD GROWN BY 150% SINCE HE

BEGAN TYPING. IN AUGUST 2022 HE

WAS RECRUITED AS A PROGRAM

MANAGER EARNING MORE MONEY THAN

EVER. HE SAYS TITHING AND

GIVING ARE NOT JUST A MATTER OF

OBEDIENCE.

IT IS OUT OF LOVE. HE GAVE

US ON FOR YOU. WHY WOULD YOU

NOT WANT TO GIVE BACK IN LOVE

TO YOUR HEAVENLY FATHER? IF YOU

TRUST THE LORD AND YOU GIVE

THAT 10%, HE IS GOING TO BLESS

YOU IN WAYS THAT YOU NEVER

IMAGINED.

I LOVE THIS STORY FOR SO

MANY DIFFERENT REASONS. I LOVE

THAT LONNIE SET I'M GOING TO

PREPARE FOR THIS INTERVIEW. I'M

GOING TO READ THIS BOOK, I WANT

TO BE ABLE TO ANSWER ANY

QUESTION THEY OFFER. I SEE THE

OPPORTUNITY BEFORE ME AND I

WANT TO SEES IT. I WANT TO GET

READY FOR IT. I ALSO APPRECIATE

HIS HUMILITY TO SAY WELL IT IS

NOT GOD HOLDING BACK. IT WAS ME

HOLDING BACK. I WAS NOT PUTTING

THE PRINCIPLES INTO PRACTICE. I

WAS NOT DOING WHAT HE ASKED ME

TO DO. I AM NOT LOOKING AT A

STINGY GOD, I'M LOOKING AT A

VERY GENEROUS GOD. I AM NOT

USING THE PRINCIPAL. HERE IS

THE PRINCIPAL AND IT IS FROM

LUKE CHAPTER 6. WE CALL IT THE

LAW OF RECIPROCITY. IT IS VERY

SIMPLE. IT IS COUNTERINTUITIVE.

THESE ARE THE WORDS OF JESUS.

GIVE AND IT WILL BE GIVEN TO

YOU. A GOOD MEASURE, PRESSED

DOWN, SHAKEN TOGETHER AND

RUNNING OVER WILL BE POURED

INTO YOUR LAP FOR WITH THE

MEASURE YOU USE, IT WILL BE

MEASURED TO YOU. LONNIE GOT

THAT. HE SAID YES. IT IS NOT

GOD PUPPIS FAULT, IT IS MINE. I

HAVE NOT BEEN GIVING. YOU NEED

TO PUT IT INTO ACTION. SO OFTEN

WE THINK WELL I WILL GIVE WHAT

I HAVE ENOUGH. I WILL GIVE

WHEN GOD SUPPLIES AN ABUNDANCE.

ALL OF THESE OTHER

MISCONCEPTIONS THAT ARE NOT IN

THE BIBLE. THE BIBLE IS QUITE

CLEAR. YOU PUT IT INTO MOTION,

THAT IS WHEN WONDERFUL THINGS

WILL HAPPEN. I HAVE GOT SOME

WONDERFUL NEWS.

> $45,000 IN CONSUMER DEBT

AND SCHOOL LOANS, THAT WAS

KEEPING HIM UP AT NIGHT. TODAY

HE IS DEBT FREE RUNNING HIS

DREAM BUSINESS AND HIS INCOME

IS UP BY 200%. HERE IS HOW HIS

FINANCES TOTALLY TURNED AROUND.

> HE GREW UP WITH THE CAMERA

IN HIS HAND SHOOTING EXTREME

SPORTS. HE WAS GOOD AT IT. HE

BROKE INTO THE VIDEO PRODUCTION

AS A VIDEOGRAPHER WITH THE

CALIFORNIA NEWS STATION. HE

GIVES GOT THE CREDIT FOR THAT

OPPORTUNITY.

HE UNLOCKED THE DOOR FOR ME

TO SERVE HIM IN THIS WAY. WHEN

HE CLOSED THAT DOOR, HE OPENED

A BIGGER DOOR FOR ME TO WALK

THROUGH.

Reporter: HE WAS CONFIDENT

THAT GOD WOULD PROVIDE FOR HIM.

THE REASON? HE HAD BEEN

PRACTICING THE PRINCIPLES OF

BIBLICAL GIVING HE LEARNED IN

CHURCH FROM HIS PASTOR.

HE CAME INTO THE BOOK OF

MALACHI. HE SAYS COME AND GIVE

IT TO ME. GOD SAID TEST ME IN

THIS. I WAS LIKE YEAH, OKAY. I

WAS LIKE THIS IS THE ONLY PLACE

IN THE BIBLE THAT GOD SAID TO

TEST HIM. THIS IS THE ONLY

PLACE.

Reporter: HE STARTED TYPING.

IT WAS DURING THIS TIME THAT HE

MET CHERYL WHO WAS IMPRESSED

WITH HIS COMMITMENT TO GIVING.

WHEN I REALLY STARTED DATING

HIM, I GUESS IT IS WHEN I WAS

LIKE YOU KNOW WHAT LORD, I'M

GOING TO START GIVING MY 10%. I

REALLY STARTED TRUSTING THE

LORD. HIS FAMILY JUST REALLY

HAD AN IMPACT ON MY LIFE. AND,

I SAW THE WAY THAT THEY WENT

TO CHURCH. THEY WENT TO CHURCH

EVERY SUNDAY. I SAW THE WAY

THAT HIS MOTHER WOULD WRITE THE

CHECK. I WAS LIKE I'M GOING TO

START DOING THAT AS WELL.

Reporter: THEY MARRIED. THE

NEXT 10 YEARS WERE SERIES OF

WELL-PAYING FULL-TIME JOBS.

EACH CAME WITH SALARIES LARGER

THAN THE PREVIOUS ONE . CHERYL

CONTINUE TO TEACH SCHOOL AND IT

HELPED. STILL, THE UPS AND

DOWNS OF THE VIDEO PRODUCTION

INDUSTRY GAVE ONLY TEMPORARY

JOB STABILITY FOR THE HUSBAND.

THIS PUT A FINANCIAL STRAIN ON

THEIR FAMILY.

ONE TIME WE HAD NO FOOD IN

THE REFRIGERATOR. SOMEBODY SAID

I GOT YOU GUYS FOOD. EVERY

TIME, WE NEVER STOPPED TYPING.

Reporter: THEIR DESIRE WAS

TO HELP OTHERS IN NEED.

IF SOMEBODY IS HAVING

STRUGGLES WITH THEIR FINANCES,

WITH FOOD, WHATEVER IT IS, THE

SAME WAY PEOPLE HAVE BLESSED

ME, I WANT TO BE ABLE TO BLESS

THEM AS WELL.

Reporter: TO REACH THAT

GOAL, THEY KNEW THEY NEEDED TO

TACKLE THEIR DEBT.

I WAS PROBABLY $45,000 IN

CONSUMER DEBT. I WAS ALSO IN

SCHOOL THAT. IT KEPT ME UP AT

NIGHT. IT EIGHT AT MY SOUL.

I GREW UP IN A HOUSE FULL OF

DEBT. AND, BEFORE WE GOT

MARRIED I TOLD MY HUSBAND I WAS

LIKE I HAVE SEEN DEBT BEFORE

AND I DO NOT WANT TO LIVE IN

IT.

CHERYL WAS SENSITIVE TO THE

HARD REALITY BECAUSE OF WHAT

HAPPENED TO OUR PARENT'S HOME.

MY FAMILY LOST THE HOUSE. I

NEVER WANT MY FAMILY TO

EXPERIENCE THAT.

Reporter: THEY BUCKLE DOWN

AND THEIR SPENDING. NO COFFEE

RUNS AND NO DINING OUT. IN

YEAR'S TIME, GOD PROVIDED

PLENTY OF WORK AND THEY PAY

DOWN ALL THE $13,000 IN SCHOOL

LOANS.

WE JUST KILLED THAT AFTER

DEBT AFTER DEBT.

Reporter: IN 2020 THE

HUSBAND'S EMPLOYER DOWNSIZED.

HE WAS LET GO.

I WAS LIKE ALL RIGHT LORD,

WHAT IS NEXT. EVERY TIME HE

SHOWED UP WITH SOMETHING BIGGER

AND BETTER. WHY WOULD I DOUBT

NOW?

Reporter: HE HAD BANKED HIS

VACATION HOURS AND WAS GIVEN

SEVERANCE, HIS FINAL PAYCHECK

PAID OFF THE REMAINING SCHOOL

LOANS. BEING DEBT-FREE PUT THE

COUPLE IN A POSITION TO LAUNCH

CLEAR 29, MULTIMEDIA PRODUCTION

COMPANY.

CLEAR 29 IS A VISUAL CONTENT

COMPANY. WE PROVIDE VISUAL

CONTENT. IT HAS EVOLVED FROM ME

BEING A TEENAGER AND HOLDING A

CAMERA TO NOW BEING ABLE TO

PRODUCE AND DIRECT FILMS,

COMMERCIAL PRODUCTIONS AND

THINGS LIKE THAT.

HE NEVER HAD TO MAKE ANY

CALLS. HE NEVER HAD TO MAKE ANY

POST ON SOCIAL MEDIA. HIS PHONE

JUST KEPT BLOWING UP. IT IS

STILL GOING TO THIS DAY.

I HAVE BEEN VERY FORTUNATE

TO TAKE A DREAM AND THE PASSION

AND MAKE IT MY BREAD AND

BUTTER.

Reporter: TODAY HIS CLIENTS

HAVE TRIPLED . HIS INCOME IS UP

BY 200%. THEY BELIEVE IT IS

POSSIBLE BECAUSE THEY ARE IN A

BECAUSE THEIR BABY GIRL WAS

BORN WITH A CLEFT LIP .

BORN WITH A CLEFT PALATE. THE

FAMILY WAS HEARTBROKEN.

I WAS SPEECHLESS. MY HEART

AFTER HER.

Translator: WHEN MY SISTER

CRIES, I CARRY HER TO THE

COCONUT TREE WHERE WE PLAY.

SOME KID SAW HER AND CALLED HER

NAMES. I WAS ANGRY BUT THEY DID

NOT KNOW WHAT TO DO. SHE CHOKES

WHEN SHE DRINKS MILK. MY

PARENTS DO NOT HAVE ANY MONEY.

I DON'T KNOW HOW WE CAN FIX

THIS.

Reporter: OPERATION BLESSING

ARRANGED FOR THE BABY AND THE

PARENTS TO TRAVEL TO THE CITY.

THERE WE PAID FOR HER TO

RECEIVE PRE-SURGERY TO REPAIR

HER CLEFT LIP.

Translator: NOW I DO NOT

HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT MY

DAUGHTER'S FUTURE. SHE CAN EAT

AND DRINK WITHOUT CHOKING LIKE

BEFORE. SHE IS GAINING WEIGHT

AFTER THE SURGERY.

> GROCERIES OR CAR REPAIRS,

THAT WAS THE DILEMMA AND

JESSICA AND HUNTER WERE FACING

AS THEIR MONEY WAS RUNNING OUT.

HUNTERS SAID THEY WERE LIVING

ON A PRAYER. HERE IS HOW YOU

GAVE THIS MILITARY FAMILY A

HAND UP.

> AS AN ARMY FAMILY HUNTER

AND JESSICA ARE FAMILIAR

STAYING WITH MONTHS APART.

WHEN DUTY CALLS, HUNTER LEADS

THE HOUSEHOLD IN JESSICA'S

HANDS.

SHE WOULD CALL ME AND TELL

ME WHAT WAS GOING ON IN THE

NEXT THING YOU KNOW IT WAS

GETTING TAKING CARE OF. SHE HAD

A FRIEND WHO COULD HELP HER OUT

OR SHE WAS TAKING CARE OF

HERSELF.

JESSICA FEELS PROUD OF

HUNTER.

HE IS A PART OF KEEPING OUR

COUNTRY SAFE AND OTHER FAMILY

SAFE. HE IS ABLE TO HAVE THE

LIFE THAT WE HAVE BECAUSE OF

HIS JOB AND CAREER IN

SACRIFICES.

Reporter: THE COUPLE DECIDED

IT WAS IMPORTANT FOR JESSICA TO

STAY HOME WITH THEIR CHILDREN.

LIVING ON ONE INCOME HAS BEEN

TOUGH.

IT IS A STRUGGLE. WE LIVE

PAYCHECK TO PAYCHECK.

Reporter: IN THE SPRING,

HUNTER'S CAR BROKE DOWN AND

NEEDED SEVERAL HUNDRED DOLLARS

IN REPAIRS THEY COULD NOT

AFFORD. THEN, A FEW MONTHS

LATER, THE ENGINE IN JESSICA'S

MAN DIED. FIXING IT CARRIED A

$9000 PRICE TAG.

THERE IS TIMES WHEN WE HAVE

THREE DOLLARS IN OUR ACCOUNT

AND I DO NOT KNOW HOW WE WILL

BUY GROCERIES LET ALONE BY A

CAR.

LITERALLY I JUST GIVE IT UP.

I AM LIKE THE LORD HAS GOT IT.

AT THIS POINT I'M JUST LIVING

ON A PRAYER.

Reporter: FOR MONTHS, THE

COUPLE PRAYED. IN SEPTEMBER DAN

IN CHARLOTTE WITH THE MILITARY

OUTREACH CADENCE INTERNATIONAL

CAME TO THEIR HOME. FIRST THEY

CAME WITH A THANK.

WE ARE SO GRATEFUL FOR WHAT

YOU DO FOR OUR COUNTRY.

Reporter: THEY CAME WITH

GREAT NEWS, CBN WAS GOING TO

HELP.

THEY HAVE DECIDED TO COME

ALONGSIDE YOU GUYS AND THEY ARE

GOING TO PAY FOR ALL OF THE

REPAIRS NEEDED FOR YOUR CARD TO

NOT EVEN KNOW HOW TO RESPOND TO

THAT. THAT IS A BIGGER

BLESSING THAN WE COULD'VE EVER

ASKED FOR OR IMAGINED. THAT IS

AWESOME.

IT INTO WORDS.

EXPRESS OUR GRATITUDE FOR THAT.

HELP THE HOME FRONT

PARTNERS ARE PREPARED TO TAKE

YOU TODAY TO WILLIE HAROLD

AUTOMOTIVE'S TO GO LOOK FOR A

ALL I CAN SAY IS THANK GOD.

IT IS GOD.

I DO NOT EVEN KNOW HOW TO

PROCESS THAT. THAT IS

ABSOLUTELY AMAZING.

Reporter: THE DEALERSHIP PUT

THE COUPLE IN THE PERFECT

FAMILY VEHICLE AND WITHIN A FEW

DAYS, THE REPAIRS ON HUNTER'S

CAR WERE COMPLETED.

I AM VERY GRATEFUL TO CBN

PARTNERS WHO HAVE HELPED US.

THIS IS A GIANT BLESSING TO MY

FAILY. WE WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN

ABLE TO DO IT ON OUR OWN. THERE

IS NO WAY. I CANNOT EVEN PUT

INTO WORDS HOW GRATEFUL WE ARE.

HELPING THE HOME FRONT IS

ONE OF THE MANY MINISTRIES OF

> MELISSA AND RICK WERE

$80,000 IN THE RED. RICK WAS SO

DESPERATE FOR CASH HE WOULD GO

DOOR TO DOOR ASKING NEIGHBORS

IF HE COULD PICK THEIR WEEDS.

MELISSA WAS NOT WORRIED ABOUT

PAYING DOWN THEIR DEBT. SHE WAS

MORE INTERESTED IN PAYING IT

FORWARD.

> MEET MELISSA, SHE IS THE

CREATOR OF BLAZE AND LACE, A

SUCCESSFUL ONLINE CLOTHING

COMPANY THAT MADE HISTORY ON

CHART TANK.

WE DID $1 MILLION OVERNIGHT

IN SALES. NO COMPANY IN THE

HISTORY OF THE FIVE YEARS THAT

SHARK TANK HAD ERRED HAD EVER

DONE THAT VOLUME AND SALES.

Reporter: MELISSA AND HER

HUSBAND HAVE COME A LONG WAY

FROM WHEN THEY MET . MELISSA

WASN'T REAL ESTATE. RICK HAD

BEEN LIVING ON CREDIT CARDS. HE

WAS TRYING TO START A NUMBER OF

BUSINESSES AND WAS $80,000 IN

DEBT.

WHEN HE TOLD ME, I WAS

SHOCKED. MY PARENTS TAUGHT ME

TO BELIEVE IF YOU DO NOT HAVE

MONEY TO PAY FOR IT, DO NOT BUY

IT.

I KNOCKED ON PEOPLE'S DOORS

IF I COULD MOW THEIR LAWN OR

PICK THEIR WEEDS. IT WAS VERY

HUMBLING.

Reporter: RICK'S LANDSCAPING

BUSINESS TOOK OFF IN THE COUPLE

STARTED WORKING THEIR WAY OUT

OF THE RED.

I WAS DOING EVERYTHING

POSSIBLE TO ANNIHILATE THE DEBT

AS QUICKLY AS I COULD.

Reporter: ALL THE WHILE,

THEY WERE TITHING.

GOD SAID TEST ME. I LOVE A

CHALLENGE. IF GOD SAID TEST ME,

I WILL SIGN UP.

EVEN DURING OUR HARDEST

TIMES, WE STILL ALWAYS GAVE. I

KNOW THAT IF GOD IS GOING TO

BLESS US, WE HAVE TO CONTINUE

TO BE FAITHFUL WITH GIVING.

Reporter: WITHIN TWO YEARS,

RICK TRIPLED HIS INCOME BY

ADDING CHRISTMAS LIGHT

INSTALLATION TO HIS BUSINESS.

HE PAID OFF HIS LOANS AND SOON

THE COUPLE WAS DEBT-FREE WITH A

SIX FIGURE INCOME. RICK DID

NOT THINK THAT WAS ENOUGH.

I THINK I HAD BOUGHT INTO

SOCIETY SAYING HERE IS WHAT YOU

SHOULD HAVE. HERE IS WHAT WILL

MAKE YOU HAPPY.

HE SAW WHERE ALL OF HIS

FRIENDS WERE AT. I THINK IT

KIND OF WAS A LITTLE BIT OF A

PRIDE ISSUE.

Reporter: MELISSA WAS

CONVINCED THAT MONEY WAS MAINLY

A TOOL TO HELP THE NEEDY.

IF MONEY CAN MAKE ME HAVE

MORE OF A DIFFERENCE, THAT IS

GREAT. I DID NOT NEEDED.

THERE WAS THIS CIVIL WAR

INSIDE. I WANTED TO GIVE MORE

MONEY BUT DID I WANT TO MAKE

MORE MONEY SO I COULD HAVE MORE

MATERIAL THINGS? I SIMPLY ASKED

GOD, DO I HAVE MONEY BEFORE YOU

AND WHAT I HEARD WAS YES, YOU

DO. I ASKED GOD TO FORGIVE ME

INSTANTLY. I TOLD GOD WHETHER

I MAKE A LOT OF MONEY OR NOT, I

AM DONE STRIVING. IT BECAME

ABOUT INSTEAD OF WHAT CAN I

ACQUIRE, HOW CAN I HELP THE

KINGDOM? WHEN I SURRENDER TO

GOD, MY LANDSCAPE COMPANY

EXPLODED.

Reporter: RICK MADE $85,000

IN ONE MONTH HANGING LIGHTS.

THEN MELISSA TURNED INTO A

MAJOR SOURCE OF INCOME FOR THE

COUPLE.

ONE DAY I DECIDED I WANTED

TO KNIT AND CREATE A PAIR OF

SOCKS. EVERYWHERE I WENT PEOPLE

WOULD ASK ME WHERE I GOT MY

SOCKS.

Reporter: MELISSA STARTED

SELLING SOCKS ONLINE. SOON THE

COUPLE LANDED ON CHART TANK.

WE ENDED UP WITH A $3

MILLION GIFT. IT WAS LIKE GOD

SAYING I CAN DO THINGS THAT

WILL BLOW YOUR MIND LIKE THAT.

NOW WE HAVE GOT GOALS OF DOING

AROUND 15 MILLION THIS YEAR. I

DO NOT KNOW THAT WE WOULD HAVE

SEEN THE SUCCESS THAT WE HAVE

IF WE WERE NOT GIVING, IF WE

WERE NOT TITHING.

Reporter: TODAY RICK AND

MELISSA HAVE THREE CHILDREN AND

THEY CHOOSE TO LIVE WAY BELOW

THEIR MEANS SO THEY CAN HELP

THE POOR. THEY HAVE ALREADY

BUILT 13 ORPHANAGES AND A

FREEDOM HOUSE IN INDIA.

I WILL NEVER FORGET MEETING

A 14-YEAR-OLD AND HE LOOKED AT

ME IN THE FACE AND HE SAID

MELISSA, THIS IS THE FIRST TIME

I HAVE EVER SLEPT ON A

MATTRESS.

Reporter: THEY LIKE TO GIVE

TO OTHER ORGANIZATIONS

INCLUDING CBN.

WHAT I LOVED ABOUT OPERATION

BLESSING IS THAT WE WERE REALLY

ABLE TO SEE THE FRUIT OF THAT

GIFT.

NOW I HAVE THE HUNGER TO

MAKE MORE MONEY SO WE TRULY CAN

GIVE TO ALL OF THESE PLACES.

THERE IS A LOT OF NEED OUT

THERE.

Reporter: FOR THOSE WHO WANT

FINANCIAL FREEDOM, THEY SUGGEST

LIVING TO GIVE, NOT GET.

I WOULD CHALLENGE ANYONE OUT

THERE TO PUT GOD FIRST. YOU ARE

GIVING, YOU ARE BLESSING, YOU

ARE HELPING, AND YOU ARE

CHANGING THE WORLD FOR THE GOOD

.

GOD IS NOT LOOKING FOR

PEOPLE WHO ARE LIKE GIVE ME,

GIVE ME, GIVE ME. EVERYONE HAS

TO START SOMEWHERE. IT DOES NOT

HAVE TO BE BIG. IT COMES FROM

THE SIMPLE PLACE OF GOD I WANT

YOUR WILL DONE IN MY LIFE. YOU

MIGHT BE IN A HARD FINANCIAL

TIME BUT GOD WANTS YOUR

PRIORITY OF HEART IN GIVING.

I LOVE THE STORY. GOD GAVE

THEM WONDERFUL IDEAS AND GAVE

THEM BLESSINGS AND FAVOR. THAT

WILL HAPPEN TO YOU IF YOU JUST

FOLLOW THE SAME PRINCIPLE. THE

PURPOSE OF MONEY, THE PURPOSE

OF THESE BLESSINGS IS SO THAT

YOU CAN BLESS OTHERS. YOU CAN

BE A BLESSING IN THE WORLD

TODAY. GOD LOVES A CHEERFUL

GIVER. HE WILL GENEROUSLY GIVE

YOU ALL THAT YOU NEED SO THAT

YOU WILL ALWAYS HAVE PLENTY FOR

YOURSELF AND PLENTY LEFT OVER

TO SHARE WITH OTHERS. THESE ARE

THE PRINCIPLES THAT I WANT SO

MUCH FOR YOU TO GET. WHEN YOU

GET THEM, WONDERFUL THINGS WILL

HAPPEN. IF YOU WANT TO START A

LIFE OF DOING THIS, GIVE US A

CALL AND SAY YES, I WOULD JOIN

THE 700 CLUB. I WANT TO HELP

PEOPLE AROUND THE WORLD. I WANT

TO BE A PART OF OPERATION

BLESSING. I WANT TO PREACH THE

GOSPEL AROUND THE WORLD. I WANT

TO BE A PART OF CBN

INTERNATIONAL. IT IS MADE

POSSIBLE BECAUSE YOU CARED

ENOUGH TO GIVE. 1-800-700-7000.

HOUSED, THEY ARE ALSO GIVEN

MEDICAL CARE AND COUNSELING TO

HELP THEM DEAL WITH EVERYTHING

THAT THEY HAVE BEEN THROUGH.

BRIDGET IS HER GUARDIAN.

WE GOT HER HEALTHY AND IN

COUNSELING. SHE COULD START HER

JOURNEY FROM HEALING REGARDING

THE LOSS IN TRAUMA. WE TEACH

CHILDREN THE WORD OF GOD HERE.

WE TEACH THEM TO CARE FOR ONE

ANOTHER AS FAMILIES DO. WE HAVE

SEEN A LOT OF SPIRITUAL GROWTH

AND TRANSFORMATION. WE TRUST

THAT WHAT SHE RECEIVES HERE

WILL HELP HER BECOME WHAT GOD

HAS CALLED HER TO BE.

GOD TAKES CARE OF US AND

LOVES US. AFTER I CAME HERE, I

GAVE MY LIFE TO JESUS. IT WAS

THE BEST MOMENT OF MY LIFE. I

CAN GO TO PRAYER WHENEVER I

HAVE A PROBLEM. HE GIVES ME

PEACE AND JOY.

Reporter: WHEN ITSI FIRST

CAME HERE, SHE CRIED OFTEN. SHE

SMILES ALL THE TIME AND CARRIES

JOY WHEREVER SHE GOES. SHE

DEDICATED HERSELF TO LEARNING.

EVEN THOUGH SHE HAD A LOT TO

CATCH UP ON, SHE IS DOING WELL

IN SCHOOL.

I LOVE GOING TO SCHOOL. IT

FEELS GOOD TO BE HERE. I ALSO

LOVE GAMES AND SKIPPING AND

PLAYING WITH MY FRIENDS.

MY HEART IS FULL OF

GRATITUDE FOR THE PEOPLE WHO

SUPPORT ORPHAN'S PROMISE. IF IT

WERE NOT FOR YOUR GENEROSITY,

GIVES HOLISTIC HELP, WHOLE

PERSON HELP INCLUDING

SPIRITUAL. WE SAY THANK YOU.

GORDON?

> AT ONE VILLAGE IN MEXICO,

IT IS THE JOB OF ELEANOR AND

HER SISTERS TO FETCH WATER.

THAT MEANS AN HOUR-LONG TRIP

BOTH WAYS TO A DIRTY RIVER. IT

ALSO MEANS THE GIRLS DO NOT

HAVE ENOUGH TIME IN THEIR DAY

TO GO TO SCHOOL.

Reporter: FOR GENERATIONS,

MARIA AND HER CHILDREN HAVE

BEEN FORCED TO CARRY BUCKETSOF

WATER MORE THAN ONE HOUR EACH

WAY FROM A POLLUTED RIVER.

THE WATER WAS THE COLOR OF

COFFEE. IT WAS CLOUDY. AND IT

SMELLED NASTY. WE HAD NO OTHER

WATER TO DRINK.

Reporter: MARIA'S DAUGHTER

ALINA TOLD US WHAT SHE SAW IN

THE WATER.

THE WATER GOT BLACK. THE

WATER SMELLED LIKE COW DUNG .

DRINKING IT MADE ME SICK.

BECAUSE IT HAS ALWAYS BEEN

THE GIRL'S JOB TO CARRY WATER,

THEY OFTEN MISS SCHOOL. THEN

WHEN IT RAINS, WATER IS

COLLECTED FROM THE ROOF INTO
