TODAY ON "THE 700 CLUB."

> HI, EVERYONE. WELCOME TO

"THE 700 CLUB." NEARLY $900

BILLION, THAT'S THE PRICE TAG

ON A DEFENSE SPENDING BILL

THAT'S CURRENTLY MOVING THROUGH

THE HOUSE. IT IS THE LARGEST IN

OUR NATION'S HISTORY.

THE FUNDING IS TO SHORE UP

OUR MILITARY AND STRENGTHEN IT

FOR FACING INCREASING SECURITY

THREATS. IT ALSO INCLUDES THE

BIGGEST PAY RAISE IN 20 YEARS

FOR OUR MEN AND WOMEN IN

UNIFORM. NATIONAL SECURITY

CORRESPONDENT CAITLIN BURK HAS

THE DETAILS.

Reporter: LAWMAKERS CALL

THIS BILL A MAJOR STEP TOWARDS

RESTORING THE STRENGTH OF THE

U.S. MILITARY. IT PROVIDES

MONEY FOR THE PENTAGON TO NOT

ONLY COUNTER GLOBAL THREATS,

BUT TO ALSO ADDRESS KEY QUALITY

OF LIFE CONCERNS FOR SERVICE

MEMBERS.

WE WANT THEM TO HAVE THE

BEST RESOURCES AT HAND, THE

BEST TOOLS TO DO THE JOB WHICH

IS WAR FIGHTING, BUT WE ALSO

WANT TO TAKE CARE OF OUR

SERVICEMEN AND WOMEN.

Reporter: THE HOUSE VERSION

OF THE NATIONAL DEFENSE

AUTHORIZATION ACT PROVIDES AN

ADDITIONAL $300 MILLION TO

SUPPORT UKRAINE, NEW PROGRAMS

AND INITIATIVES TO COUNTER

CHINA, PLUS A HISTORIC PAY

RAISE FOR SERVICE MEMBERS.

THIS IS THE HIGHEST PAY

INCREASE THEY'VE HAD IN 20

YEARS. THAT'S WHAT OUR

SERVICEMEN AND WOMEN NEED. THEY

ARE STRUGGLING WITH AN ECONOMY

THAT'S IN TOUGH TIMES RIGHT

NOW. HOW CAN WE HELP THE MOST

PUT MORE MONEY IN THEIR POCKET

BASTION?

Reporter: POCKETBOOKS?

Reporter: REPUBLICANS PUSHED

THROUGH OTHER CULTURAL ISSUES

LIKE HELP FOR SERVICE MEMBERS

KICKED OUT OF THE MILITARY FOR

REFUSING TO TAKE THE COVID-19

VACCINE. WHILE SOME OF THOSE

MORE CONTROVERSIAL AMENDMENTS

WILL LIKELY FACE PUSHBACK

DURING NEGOTIATIONS, FRESHMAN

CONGRESSWOMAN TELLS CBN NEWS

SHE IS ENCOURAGED BY THE

OVERALL BIPARTISAN SUPPORT.

WE AGREE MORE THAN WE

DISAGREE. WE AGREE ON WHERE OUR

THREAT IS AT IN THE WORLD AND

AGREE ON WHO OUR ADVERSARIES

ARE AND A STRONG NATIONAL

DEFENSE AND HOW THAT'S OUR BEST

DETERRENT.

Reporter: ONE OF THE MOST

IMPORTANT INVOLVES MILITARY

MENTAL HEALTH CARE.

PARTS OF MY BILL THAT MADE

IT INTO THE NDA THIS WEEK

LOOKED AT MENTAL HEALTH CARE IN

THE FORM OF A DASHBOARD THAT

REALLY TRACKS HOW DIFFERENT

PLACES ARE CONSIDERING THINGS

LIKE CHILDCARE AND HOUSING,

HEALTH CARE, SPOUSE EMPLOYMENT,

AND THEN WHAT ARE WE DOING IF

GOD FORBID THERE ARE CLUSTER

SUICIDES? WHAT IS IS THE

RESPONSE OR STANDARD OPERATING

PROCEDURE FOR COMMAND?

Reporter: A VETERAN HERSELF,

ADMITS GREATER LONG TERM ACTION

WILL BE NEEDED TO ENSURE

AMERICA'S MILITARY IS STRONG

ENOUGH TO BOTH SUPPORT ALLIES

AND STOP ADVERSARIES.

REGARDLESS, SHE VOWS TO BE A

FIERCE ADVOCATE FOR SERVICEMEN,

WOMEN AND THEIR FAMILIES, A

GROUP THAT INCLUDES HER OWN

CHILDREN.

I'M A MOM ON A MISSION. I

WANT TO ENSURE MY KIDS HAVE THE

BEST RESOURCES AT THEIR

FINGERTIPS AND THEIR FRIENDS TO

ACCOMPLISH THEIR MISSION AND DO

IT SAFELY. THAT'S THE ROLE OF

CONGRESS IS TO FUND THAT

MILITARY. I WILL FIGHT FOR THAT

EVERY SINGLE DAY.

Reporter: THE SENATE ARMED

SERVICES COMMITTEE ALSO PASS

ADD DRAFT BILL THAT MATCHES THE

TOTAL DEFENSE SPENDING IN THE

HOUSE VERSION. IT ALSO INCLUDES

THE PAY RAISES AND FUNDING FOR

INITIATIVES TO COUNTER CHINA

AND SUPPORT UKRAINE. AFTER THE

HOUSE AND SENATE VOTE ON THEIR

INDIVIDUAL BILLS, JOINT

NEGOTIATIONS WILL BEGIN FOR THE

FINAL VERSION WHICH WILL

ULTIMATELY GO TO THE

PRESIDENT'S DESK. CAITLIN BURK,

CBN NEWS, WASHINGTON.

THANK YOU.

> MANY, MANY AMERICANS

APPLAUD THIS OF COURSE GETTING

OUR ACTIVE SERVICE MEMBERS WHAT

THEY NEED AND RESOURCES. THE

BIGGEST PAY RAISE IN TWO

DECADES, GETTING THEM MENTAL

HEALTH ASSISTANCE AS WELL AND

HAVING A STRONGER MILITARY TO

TAKE ON OUR INTERNATIONAL FOES

AND ENEMIES AND MAKING US

STRONGER. THERE'S A TOUCH OF

CYNICISM. IT IS AN ELECTION

YEAR.

> IN OTHER NEWS, A PROTEST,

NOT A POWER GRAB. THAT'S THE

LATEST FROM THE HEAD OF THE

RUSSIAN MERCENARY ARMY THAT

BRIEFLY MARCHED ON MOSCOW LAST

WEEKEND. GEORGE THOMAS HAS THAT

STORY AND MORE FROM OUR CBN

NEWSROOM. GEORGE?

Reporter: THANK YOU.

PRESIDENT JOE BIDEN AND

RUSSIA'S PRESIDENT VLADIMIR

PUTIN ARE ALSO WEIGHING IN ON

THE WEEKEND'S SHOCKING EVENTS.

REPORTER ABIGAIL ROBERTSON

BRINGS US THE LATEST ON THE

AFTERMATH OF THE CHAOS IN

RUSSIA.

Reporter: PRESIDENT BIDEN IS

MAKING IT CLEAR THE U.S. HAD

NOTHING TO DO WITH LAST

WEEKEND'S BRIEF BUT SHOCKING

UPRISING AGAINST THE KREMLIN

LED BY WAGNER MERCENARY CHIEF

YEVGENY PRIGOZHIN.

WE HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH

IT. THIS IS PART OF A STRUGGLE

WITHIN RUSSIAN SYSTEM.

Reporter: BIDEN MADE SURE

THE MESSAGE WAS DELIVERED BY

THE U.S. AMBASSADOR TO THE

RUSSIANS OVER THE WEEKEND

LEAVING NO ROOM FOR PUTIN TO

BLAME IT ON THE WEST.

IT'S STILL TOO EARLY TO

REACH A DEFINITIVE CONCLUSION

ABOUT WHERE THIS IS GOING. NO

MATTER WHAT HAPPENED IN RUSSIA,

WE, THE UNITED STATES, CONTINUE

TO SUPPORT UKRAINE'S DEFENSE.

Reporter: PUTIN ADDRESSED

HIS NATION ON MONDAY TOO

CLAIMING THE REBELLION WOULD

HAVE BEEN PUT DOWN BY HIS

MILITARY AND ACCUSING THE

ORGANIZERS OF BETRAYING RUSSIA.

THIS IS THE MOST SIGNIFICANT

CHALLENGE TO PUTIN'S POWER IN

TWO DECADES.

Reporter: THE REPORT IS

MOSCOW STRUCK A DEAL WITH

PRIGOZHIN AS HIS TROOPS WERE

WITHIN 100 MILES OF MOSCOW.

WHEN THEY REALIZED LEADERS WERE

GOING TO ALIGN WITH PUTIN, HE

TURNED HIS FORCES AROUND. IN AN

AUDIO RECORDING, PRIGOZHIN

CLAIMED THE GROUP WAS ON A

MARCH TO PROTEST THEIR BEING

ABSORBED INTO THE RUSSIAN ARMY

AND NOT TO OVERTHROW PUTIN'S

GOVERNMENT.

HE BASICALLY SPOKE THE TRUTH

OUTLOUD ABOUT THIS WHOLE WAR IN

UKRAINE THAT STARTED LAST YEAR.

HE SAID IT'S BEEN A BIG SHAM,

THAT THERE WAS NO THREAT FROM

UKRAINE, THERE WAS NO "NEED TO

DENAZIFY UKRAINE." ANYONE

LOOKING AT FACTS KNOW THAT TO

BE TRUE. HERE WE SEE THE HEAD

OF THE WAGNER GROUP TO SAYING

THAT WHICH IS A CHALLENGE FOR

PUTIN'S UNPROVOKED WAR.

Reporter: ON CBN "FAITH

NATION, BRAD BOWMAN SAID PUTIN

WILL HAVE TO HANDLE THIS

CAREFULLY.

HE UNDERSTANDS THAT WAGNER

HAS BEEN ONE OF THE MORE

EFFECTIVE MILITARY OUTFITS IN

UKRAINE, BUT HE ALSO HAD AN

UNPRECEDENTED CHALLENGE TO HIS

AUTHORITY. HOW HE MANAGES THIS

IS GOING TO BE VERY

INTERESTING.

Reporter: RUSSIAN

AUTHORITIES SAY THEY WILL NOT

CHARGE PRIGOZHIN OR HIS TROOPS

FOR THE ARMED REBELLION.

PRIGOZHIN IS SUPPOSED TO GO

INTO EXILE IN BELARUS, BUT IT

IS UNCLEAR WHERE HE IS NOW.

ABIGAIL ROBERTSON, CBN NEWS.

THANKS, ABIGAIL. HERE AT

HOME, WICKED WEATHER

THREATENING TENS OF MILLIONS OF

AMERICANS THIS WEEK. MORE THAN

20 TORNADOES REPORTED IN IOWA,

MINNESOTA AND INDIANA SO FAR.

CHECK THIS OUT. THIS TWISTER

QUICKLY INTENSIFYING AS IT

MOVED THROUGH THE CITY OF

GREENWOOD, INDIANA, DESTROYING

MULTIPLE HOMES. A HOUSING

DEVELOPMENT WAS RIPPED TO

SHREDS. THIS HOMEOWNER IS JUST

GRATEFUL HIS FAMILY IS OKAY.

I'M GLAD EVERYONE IS

HEALTHY. IT'S HARD TO LOOK ON

THE BRIGHT SIDE. I'VE BEEN

LAUGHING THIS WHOLE TIME

BECAUSE WHAT CAN YOU DO.

MILLIONS OF PEOPLE IN NINE

STATES ARE UNDER HEAT ALERTS.

THE HEAT DOME EXPECTED TO

STRETCH FROM KANSAS CITY TO THE

FLORIDA PANHANDLE THROUGH THE

JULY 4th HOLIDAY. IN TEXAS

MEANWHILE, MUCH OF THE STATE

CONTINUES TO BAKE IN TRIPLE

DIGIT TEMPERATURES.

> OPERATION BLESSING IS ON

THE GROUND IN MATADOR, TEXAS,

HELPING THAT COMMUNITY RECOVER

AFTER A DEVASTATING TORNADO.

LAST WEEK, A TWISTER WITH WIND

GUSTS UP TO 165 MILES PER HOUR

HIT THE TOWN THAT SITS 95 MILES

EAST OF LUBBOCK. IT CUT A PATH

OF DESTRUCTION 600 YARDS WIDE

AND MORE THAN NINE MILES LONG

KILLING FOUR PEOPLE AND

INJURING 15 OTHERS. DOZENS OF

HOMES AND BUILDINGS WERE

DAMAGED OR DESTROYED. OPERATION

BLESSING IS ON THE SCENE WITH A

WORK TRAILER, SUPPLIES AND A

FOOD TRUCK. TEAMS ARE SERVING

UP HOT MEALS FOR PEOPLE IN THE

TOWN, PRAYING WITH THEM AND

ASSESSING NEEDS. FOR ONE

RESIDENT, IT IS A SIGN THAT GOD

HAS NOT FORGOTTEN THEM.

IT MEANS FOR ONE THING GOD

IS IN CHARGE, GOD IS IN CONTROL

AND HE IS BRINGING PEOPLE IN

THAT ARE IN GOD-LIKE MINDS THAT

ARE GOING TO COME IN AND TAKE

OVER AND NOT TAKE OVER, BUT

TAKE OVER IN A WAY OF BLESSING

US WITH FOOD, SUPPLIES, THE

BLESSING THAT YOU GUYS ARE HERE

TO DO THIS FOR US IS

UNBELIEVABLE.

ONE TEAM MEMBER DESCRIBING

MATADOR AS A COMMUNITY OF FAITH

AND A TOWN THAT IS "EASY TO

LOVE." IT HAS BEEN NEARLY A

MONTH SINCE A DESTRUCTIVE

TYPHOON HIT THE PACIFIC ISLAND

OF GUAM, YET MANY ON THIS U.S.

TERRITORY ARE STILL WITHOUT

POWER, DRINKING WATER AND FOOD

SUPPLIES. OPERATION BLESSING

RECENTLY VISITED THESE

COMMUNITIES TO BRING FOOD AND

ENCOURAGEMENT. HERE IS THE

STORY.

Reporter: WEEKS AFTER IT

BATTERED THE ISLAND OF GUAM,

MANY RESIDENTS ARE STILL IN

DIRE NEED OF HELP AS THEY TRY

TO RECOVER FROM THE MASSIVE

DESTRUCTION THAT THE CATEGORY 4

CYCLONE LEFT BEHIND. SOME AREAS

ARE STILL WITHOUT POWER AND

WATER. SURVIVORS FROM THE

HARDEST HIT VILLAGES LIKE DIDO

AND GIGO ARE OVERWHELMED WITH

THE CHALLENGE OF REBUILDING

THEIR HOUSES THAT WERE

DESTROYED BY THE STRONG WINDS

AND FLASH FLOODS. SADLY, MANY

OF THEM ARE FORCED TO

PRIORITIZE BUYING BUILDING

MATERIALS OVER ESSENTIAL FOOD

ITEMS. AN OPERATION BLESSING

TEAM RESPONDED TO THIS URGENT

NEED AND REACHED OUT TO THE

MOST EFFECTED COMMUNITIES

MAKING SURE EACH FAMILY

RECEIVED MUCH-NEEDED AID.

I'M JOHN TANG HERE FOR

OPERATION BLESSING IN THE

ISLAND OF GUAM. I AM IN THE

VILLAGE OF GIGO IN THE

SUBDIVISION OF ZERO DOWN. THE

HOUSES HERE ARE JUST FLATTENED

AND PEOPLE HAVE LOST

EVERYTHING. THERE IS STILL NO

POWER. THERE'S NO WATER. WE'RE

GOING DOOR TO DOOR RIGHT NOW

BRINGING FOOD AND FRESH WATER,

DRINKING WATER, SO THAT PEOPLE

CAN FOCUS ON REBUILDING THEIR

HOMES.

Reporter: THE RESIDENTS WERE

GRATEFUL THAT OPERATION

BLESSING TOGETHER WITH

COMMITTED VOLUNTEERS FROM THEIR

CHURCH, PAST HER IN LIFE IN THE

SUN CHURCH, PERSONALLY BROUGHT

THEM FOOD BAGS CONTAINING RICE,

CANNED GOODS, COFFEE, SUGAR AND

OTHER BASIC NEEDS. THEY WERE

TOUCHED BY THIS KIND GESTURE

THAT LIFTED THEIR SPIRITS.

HUNDREDS OF SURVIVORS ALSO CAME

TO THE CHURCH TO GET THEIR FOOD

BAGS AND FREE BIBLES.

WE WOULD LIKE TO BLESS THE

PEOPLE THAT HAVE IT. THEY WOULD

BE FILLED FROM THE HOLY SPIRIT

FROM JESUS.

THAT'S WHY WE'RE GIVING

BIBLES TO THEM.

Reporter: THE MATERIAL HELP

THE SURVIVORS RECEIVED MAY ONLY

LAST FOR A FEW DAYS, BUT GOD

PROMISES WITH THEM IN THE

BIBLES AND THE PRAYERS RELEASED

OVER THEM CAN LAST A LIFETIME.

THANK YOU, GUYS.

THANK YOU. THANK YOU SO

MUCH. THANK YOU. THANK YOU SO

MUCH.

THANK YOU.

Reporter: CBN NEWS..

WHETHER IT'S IN MATADOR,

TEXAS, OR IN GUAM, OPERATION

I APPRECIATE JOHN TAN AND HIS

OPERATION BLESSING TEAM

LITERALLY GOING DOOR TO DOOR TO

HELP PEOPLE HELP FAMILIES IN

THE NAME OF JESUS, DOOR TO

DOOR, THAT IS THE HEART OF GOD

HELPING PEOPLE. AS GEORGE

MENTIONED, WE HAVE CREWS IN

TEXAS. WE HAVE CREWS IN GUAM.

YOU MIGHT HAVE KNOWN OR

REMEMBERED THE DEVASTATION HIT

GUAM. WE'RE STILL ON THE GROUND

AND THEY ARE SERVING PEOPLE. IF

YOU'D LIKE TO BE A PART OF IT,

IT'S VERY SIMPLE TO DO. WE CAN

GIVE YOU THE OPERATION BLESSING

CALL US TO DONATE

1-800-700-7000 OR GO TO OUR

WEBSITE CBN.COM OR A SIMPLE WAY

IS TO TEXT "OBDR" TO 71777 OR

ADDRESS THERE. HOWEVER YOU'D

LIKE TO GET INVOLVED AND HELP

> CLIMBING STEEP HILLS AND

NAVIGATING ROCKY PATHS, HIKING

IN THE HOLY LAND CAN MAKE IT

CHALLENGING. IT MAKES IT

IMPOSSIBLE FOR DISABLED TO

ENJOY ALL THE SIGHTS IN THE

HOLY LAND. THAT'S CHANGING WITH

A COMPANY CALLED LUKE 5

ADVENTURES.

Reporter: ISRAEL IS MANY

THINGS TO MANY PEOPLE. ONE

THINGS IS NOT REALLY IS ALL

THAT HANDICAPPED ACCESSIBLE

WITH THE ROUGH GROUND, SLIPPERY

ROCKS, BIG, STEEP SLOPES, BUT

THERE IS A GROUP MAKING SURE

THAT THE DISABLED CAN GO

ANYWHERE ANYONE ELSE CAN. HE

READS TOURS BUT COULDN'T

INCLUDE TOURGOERS WITH PHYSICAL

DISABILITIES.

WE OFFER MULTIPLE ISRAEL

TRIPS A YEAR, BUT NO

ACCESSIBILITY FOR PEOPLE WHO

CAN'T WALK.

Reporter: THEN, DeLANCEY

DISCOVERED LUKE 5 ADVENTURES, A

MINISTRY GROWN TO NINE U.S.

CHAPTERS THAT HELP THOSE WITH

DISABILITIES EXPERIENCE THE

RUGGED OUTDOORS USING JOELETTE

CHAIRS LIKE THIS ONE.

WE JUST COMPLETED OUR 800th

HIKE IN THE LAST THREE YEARS.

Reporter: THEY WERE IN

ISRAEL AS THEY PARTNERED WITH

DeLANCEY'S MINISTRY.

I THOUGHT THIS IS AN ANSWER

TO GOD. THIS OPENS A WHOLE NEW

DOOR FOR REALLY GOING ANYWHERE.

Reporter: DeLANCEY AND LUKE

5 ADVENTURES TESTED THAT IDEA

IN ISRAEL WITH VICTORIA ODOM.

SHE'S FOUGHT HER WAY BACK FROM

TRAUMATIC BRAIN INJURY AND

TOTAL PARALYSIS.

I RELEARNED STEP DID I STEP.

Reporter: NOT ENOUGH TO

TACKLE CERTAIN TERRAIN.

I CAN NEVER WALK ON SLIPPERY

ROCKS OR CLIMB UP TRAILS.

FOR PEOPLE LIKE VICTORIA,

IT'S NOT EVEN A DREAM TO GO

FROM HERE OVER THERE BECAUSE IT

IS NOT POSSIBLE. WHAT WE ARE

DOING MAKES THE IMPOSSIBLE

POSSIBLE.

Reporter: WHITNEY BLACKSTON

CAME ALONG TO HELP ODOM SINCE

SHE WITNESSED HOW IT HELPED HER

DAUGHTER.

SHE'S COMPLETELY NONVERBAL.

Reporter: SHE CAME TO KNOW

GOD'S NATURE.

SHE IS BLIND. SHE DOESN'T

HAVE A CONCEPT OF WHAT THAT IS.

NOW SHE CAN GET OUT THERE AND

FEEL THE TREE AND FEEL THE LEAF

AND THE LEAVES AND THE WIND IN

HER FACE.

Reporter: OR FOR THE FIRST

TIME, TOUCH WATER IN THE WILD

AT A PLACE EMERSON REVISITED IN

FALL OF 2022.

Reporter: AS I WAS TELLING

HER, THAT JESUS IS HER ROCK,

SHE SAID, JESUS, I WANT, SO WE

BAPTIZED HER THAT DAY.

Reporter: BEGINNING THEIR

ISRAEL TOUR, BLACKSTON AND THE

OTHERS AIDING ODOM CAME UPON AN

IMMEDIATE CHALLENGE.

THAT FIRST DAY, WE STEPPED

OFF AND THERE'S THIS STEEP,

DEEP CAVERN THAT YOU COULDN'T

EVEN SEE THE BOTTOM. VICTORIA

WANTED TO GO. WE TACKLED IT.

JUST TO SEE THAT, I GO THIS IS

AMAZING, A GOD THING, AND

VICTORIA, WOW, SHE IS

EXPERIENCING EXACTLY WHAT WE

ARE.

MASADA WAS A REALLY NICE

CHALLENGE AS WELL.

Reporter: MASADA, THE STEEP

MOUNTAIN WHERE JEWISH REBELS

MADE THEIR STAND GERALD

HENDERSON ROMAN LEGIONS ALMOST

2,000 YEARS AGO.

IT IS A STEEP HILL FOR A

LONG, LONG TIME.

IT IS PROBABLY 500 OR 600

FEET IN ELEVATION.

IT IS INCREDIBLE. IT WILL GO

DOWN AS ONE OF THE MOST AMAZING

MEMORIES.

Reporter: TALK ABOUT THE

UNIQUENESS OF THIS MINISTRY.

I DON'T THINK ANY OTHER TYPE

OF WHEELCHAIR APPARATUS EVER

MADE IT UP THE ROMAN RAMP THERE

AT MASADA.

Reporter: OTHER DAYS, THEY

CHASED IN A PLACE WHERE REAL

CHARIOTS ONCE RACED AND TOOK

HER ON A PREDAWN HIKE WITH

HEADLAMPS.

IT OPENED EVERYTHING. IT WAS

LIKE I CAN DO THIS. EVERYONE

CAN DO THIS.

DON'T DISMISS YOUR DREAMS.

Reporter: NOW DeLANCEY IS

READY TO MAKE DREAMS COME TRUE

FOR OTHERS.

TO OFFER TRIPS TO ISRAEL ON

A REGULAR BASIS WITH THIS

AMAZING ONE-WHEEL WHEELCHAIR.

Reporter: DeLANCEY'S TEAM

HOPES TO BUY AT LEAST ONE

JOELETTE AND KEEP IT FOR HIS

TOUR AND OTHERS AND LUKE 5

ADVENTURES TOWNER POINTS OUT

99.99% OF GOD'S CREATION IS

OUTSIDE OF WHERE MOST PEOPLE

CAN REACH IT.

THAT IS NOT ACCEPTABLE.

EVERYONE SHOULD BE ABLE TO

DO THIS.

Reporter: NOW THEY CAN GET

THEIR CHANCE.

THE BOTTOM LINE OF

VICTORIA'S ADVENTURE IN THE

HOLY LAND IS NEVER TELL

YOURSELF THAT SOMETHING IS

IMPOSSIBLE FOR YOU. PAUL

STRAND, CBN NEWS, REPORTING

FROM JERUSALEM.

THANK YOU, PAUL. PEOPLE

HELPING PEOPLE. INSPIRING. IT

DOES YOUR HEART GOOD. I DON'T

KNOW HOW MANY OF US CONSIDER

THE CHALLENGES AND HOW MUCH OF

THE WORLD IS OFF LIMITS TO

FOLKS WHO HAVE PHYSICAL

LIMITATIONS AND DISABILITIES,

BUT THAT IS CHANGING THANKS TO

LUKE 5 MINISTRIES AND I'M SURE

YOU FIGURED OUT LUKE 5 HAS THE

STORY OF THE PARALYTIC LOWERED

THROUGH THE ROOF BY THE FOUR

> ANDY WAS MOLESTED AT THE

AGE OF 7. WHAT'S WORSE WHEN HE

TOLD HIS PARENTS, THEY REFUSED

TO BELIEVE HIM. THAT TRAUMA

CAUSED HIS LIFE TO SPIN OUT OF

CONTROL. FOREYEARS, HE WAS

HAUNTED BY FLASHBACKS FROM HIS

PAST. ANDY BRONKHORST PUT IN

MANY MILES AND YEARS BEHIND THE

WHEEL OF A SEMI, ALONE WITH HIS

THOUGHTS AND MEMORIES. MANY

WERE GOOD ESPECIALLY THOSE FROM

HIS 17 YEARS IN THE RODEO AND

THE PEOPLE THERE WHO TOUCHED

HIS LIFE.

THEY CARED ABOUT YOU. IF YOU

GOT HURT, THEY CAME UP AND THEY

CONSOLED YOU, AND, YOU KNEW

FROM TOWN TO TOWN WHEN YOU'RE

GOING FROM RODEO TO RODEO AND

THE SAME PEOPLE WERE THERE.

THEY BECAME A FAMILY.

Reporter: THE MEMORIES OF

HIS OWN FAMILY TOLD A DIFFERENT

STORY. HIS FATHER ALSO A TRUCK

DRIVER WAS ALWAYS ON THE ROAD.

HIS MOM AN ALCOHOLIC WAS

CONSTANTLY BRINGING PEOPLE HOME

TO PARTY.

I FELT HURT. I FELT

ABANDONED.

Reporter: OF ALL THE

MEMORIES, THERE WAS ONE THAT

HAUNTED HIM. THE TIME HIS UNCLE

SEXUALLY ABUSED HIM WHEN ANDY

WAS 7. ADDING TO HIS SHAME, HIS

PARENTS DIDN'T BELIEVE HIM.

IT CRUSHED ME. IT CRUSHED ME

BECAUSE I WAS TELLING THE

TRUTH, AND I WOULD NEVER MAKE

THAT UP AND I FELT LIKE I HAD

TO GAIN CONTROL. I FELT LIKE I

HAD TO DO SOMETHING TO FIX THE

SITUATION, BUT AT THAT AGE, I

DIDN'T KNOW WHAT TO DO. I JUST

THOUGHT I COULD -- IF YOU CAN'T

BEAT THEM, JOIN THEM.

Reporter: SO, AT 10 YEARS

OLD, ANDY STARTED DRINKING. BY

THEN, HE WAS A RISING STAR IN

JUNIOR RODEO. THERE HE FOUND

HIS FAMILY AND A REASON FOR

LIVING. HE WORKED HARD TO BE

THE BEST.

I DIDN'T FEEL LIKE I WAS

ANYBODY ALREADY. I FELT LIKE I

NEEDED TO PROVE MYSELF. I FELT

LIKE I WASN'T GOOD ENOUGH.

Reporter: WHILE ANDY ENJOYED

THE ATTENTION AND SUCCESS THE

YEARS OF BULL RIDING TOOK A

HEAVY TOLL ON HIS BODY. HE

STARTED ABUSING PAIN KILLERS

AND EVENTUALLY METH. THE

ADDICTION FORCED ANDY TO DROP

OUT OF RODEO AT 22 YEARS OLD.

I FELT LIKE WHY WAS I EVEN

HERE, AND I JUST KEPT BUILDING

ON THAT. THE MORE NEGATIVE THAT

HAPPENED, THE MORE NEGATIVE I

THOUGHT ABOUT MYSELF AND THE

MORE NEGATIVE I THOUGHT THAT

WAS GOING TO HAPPEN IN THE

FUTURE.

Reporter: BY THE TIME HE

QUIT, HE HAD DIVORCED TWICE AND

HAD FOUR CHILDREN. TO PAY CHILD

SUPPORT, HE BECAME A TRUCK

DRIVER. THE ROAD GAVE ANDY AN

ESCAPE FROM LIFE.

SINCE I HAD SO MANY BAD

RELATIONSHIPS, NOBODY WANTED TO

BE WITH ME, SO I WAS ALONE, YOU

KNOW. THAT'S HOW I LED MY LIFE

WAS -- I WAS ALWAYS A RAMBLER.

I ALWAYS HAD TO GET OUT OF

TOWN. I ALWAYS LEFT.

Reporter: ANDY WOULD SPENT

14 LONELY YEARS ON THE ROAD IN

AND OUT OF REHAB. THEN, AT 36,

HE LOST HIS COMMERCIAL DRIVER'S

LICENSE BECAUSE OF ADDICTION.

OUT OF WORK, HE JOINED A

NOTORIOUS BIKER GANG. STILL,

THE OUTLAW IN HIM COULDN'T

CHASE THE HAUNTING VISIONS OF

ABUSE AWAY.

IT JUST GOT WORSE FOR EVERY

TIME I THOUGHT ABOUT IT. I

WOULD PUT MORE DRUGS AND

ALCOHOL INTO MY SYSTEM OR DO

SOMETHING WORSE. EVEN IF I HAD

TO GO TO JAIL TO GET SOMEBODY'S

ATTENTION, I DID IT.

Reporter: HE BECAME SO

VOLATILE, EVEN THE GANG HAD

ENOUGH AND KICKED HIM OUT.

WORSE, HIS KID'S SISTER TOLD

HIM TO STAY AWAY FROM HER HOME

AND HER FAMILY.

YEAH, EVERYTHING AT THAT

POINT I JUST TRIED TO TEAR IT

DOWN. I DIDN'T WANT TO BE

ALIVE. THERE WAS POINTS WHERE I

THOUGHT THAT I NEEDED TO

PROBABLY TAKE MY LIFE TOO.

Reporter: TWO YEARS LATER IN

SEPTEMBER OF 2012, ANDY WAS

LIVING OUT OF HIS PICKUP TRUCK

IN A CAMPGROUND IN WASHINGTON

STATE., OUT OF MONEY AND HAVING

WITHDRAWALS. ONE DAY WHILE

WALKING ALONG A CREEK, HE

REMEMBERED SOMETHING ABOUT HIS

RODEO DAYS ABOUT JESUS. IT

WASN'T UNTIL NOW HE REALIZED

JESUS WAS HIS ONLY HOPE.

I LAID IN THE WATER TO COOL

OFF. I JUST STARTED SOBBING. I

ASKED GOD, I SAID, LORD, I NEED

YOU RIGHT NOW. I CAN'T DO THIS

ALONE. IF YOU HELP ME OUT,

LORD, I PROMISE I'LL CHANGE MY

LIFE. I FELT LIKE SOMEBODY WAS

STANDING THERE WITH ME AND HAD

THIS -- LIKE SOMEBODY CAME AND

HUGGED ME. I FELT IT.

Reporter: THAT SAME DAY, HIS

SISTER CALLED INVITING HIM TO

STAY WITH HER FAMILY. WHILE

THERE, ANDY STARTED WATCHING

CHRISTIAN TELEVISION AND PRAYED

WITH PASTOR ROBERT MORRIS TO

ACCEPT JESUS INTO HIS.

LIFE.

I STARTED HEARINGTHAT SMALL

VOICE AND WHEN I FIGURED OUT IT

WAS THE HOLY SPIRIT, I LET IT

RIPPED. I TALKED TO THAT STILL,

SMALL VOICE, AND I JUST KNEW, I

JUST HAD THIS FEELING THAT CAME

OVER ME THAT EVERYTHING WAS

GOING TO BE OKAY.

Reporter: ANDY WENT BACK

INTO AA AND WITH GOD'S HELP,

CONQUERED HIS ADDICTIONS. HE

ALSO MET AND MARRIED TRINA. AS

ANDY GREW IN CHRIST, HE WAS

ABLE TO FORGIVE THOSE WHO HURT

HIM.

THE LORD TOLD ME THAT THAT

WASN'T MY FAULT. HE ALSO MADE

ME -- HE HAS TAKEN THOSE

VISIONS AWAY. I DON'T HAVE THE

VISIONS ANYMORE, AND I FEEL

LIKE I'VE BEEN HEARD.

Reporter: TODAY, AS HE WORKS

ON THE RELATIONSHIPS WITH HIS

CHILDREN AND GRANDCHILDREN,

ANDY LEANS ON HIS FAITH IN

JESUS CHRIST.

I FEEL BLESSED. I FEEL

REDEEMED. I FEEL LOVED. I FEEL

HONORED TO BE A HUSBAND, A

FATHER, A GRANDFATHER, AND I

DON'T HAVE THAT EMPTINESS

ANYMORE.

YOU SEE THAT SMILE ON ANDY'S

FACE WITH ALL THAT PAIN AND

TURMOIL FROM HIS PAST, AND THE

SEXUAL ABUSE HE WENT THROUGH

AND BETRAYAL OF HIS PARENTS AS

HE TOLD THEM AND THEY DIDN'T

BELIEVE HIM AND HE CARRIED

THAT. SO MANY OF US HURT FOR SO

LONG AND WE CARRY THIS HURT

AROUND. THERE ANDY WAS. HE SAID

TO THE LORD IN AN ADMISSION TO

GOD I NEED YOU. I CAN'T DO THIS

ALONE. A SIMPLE STATEMENT, BUT

PROFOUND. IT WAS HIS HEART CRY.

LORD, I CAN'T DO THIS ALONE AND

I NEED YOU. LOOK, YOU WERE NOT

DESIGNED TO LIVE LIFE APART

FROM YOUR CREATOR, APART FROM

YOUR HEAVENLY FATHER, APART

FROM JESUS WHO LOVES YOU. AS HE

SAID THAT PRAYER, HE LEARNED TO

HEAR GOD'S VOICE. I DON'T THINK

THERE WAS ANYTHING SPECIAL

ABOUT ANDY'S PURSUIT. HE DIDN'T

GO TO SEMINARY. HE WASN'T

INVOLVED IN ALL THESE BIBLE

STUDIES. HE JUST CRIED OUT AND

SAID, LORD, I NEED YOU. I CAN'T

DO THIS ALONE. MAYBE THAT'S

WHERE YOU ARE TODAY. WE SEE

JESUS IN THE BIBLE, AND HE SAYS

THOSE WHO COME TO ME, ALL WHO

COME TO ME, I WILL NEVER DRIVE

AWAY. ALL YOU WHO ARE BURDENED

AND FEEL HEAVY BURDENS AND ARE

WEARY, ALL OF YOU COME TO ME,

JESUS SAID AND I WILL GIVE YOU

REST. HE GOES ON TO SAY THAT

REST IS REST FOR YOUR SOUL.

JESUS SAID I AM HUMBLE AND

GENTLE IN HEART. JESUS

UNDERSTANDS THAT THE WAY WE

COPE WITH OUR PAIN IN THIS

WORLD WILL NOT ASSIST US, IT

WILL NOT HELP US, IT WILL LEAVE

US UNSATISFIED, AND IN WORSE

CONDITION BECAUSE AS WE HAVE

PAIN, AS WE HAVE TRAUMA, WE MAY

TRY ALCOHOL, WE MAY TRY DRUGS,

WHATEVER WE LOOK TO FILL THE

VOID AND TAKE OUR MIND OFF WHAT

WE ARE DEALING WITH. IT

ACTUALLY GETS US IN A CYCLE OF

MORE PAIN AND MORE SHAME AND

THEN WE SEEK MORE OF THIS TO

COPE, AND IT JUST EXHAUSTS US

AND LEAVES US EMPTY. IF YOU

FIND YOURSELF THERE TODAY, I

HAVE GOOD NEWS. THE SAME JESUS

WHO HELPED ANDY AND HAS HELPED

ME, AND HAS HELPED SO MANY FIND

HOPE AND SALVATION AND MEANING

AND IDENTITY IN LIFE DESIRES

YOU TO REACH OUT TO HIM TODAY.

WHAT I'D LIKE TO DO IS PRAY

WITH YOU TO START YOUR JOURNEY.

IT'S JUST A FIRST STEP, BUT IT

IS A CRUCIAL ONE. IT IS

ACKNOWLEDGING BEFORE GOD YOUR

NEED AND HOW YOU ARE HURT AND

HOW YOU NEED HIS LOVING

EMBRACE. PRAY WITH ME NOW IF

YOU ARE FEELING THAT TUG, THAT

IS THE HOLY SPIRIT OF GOD

SPEAKING TO YOU THAT HE DESIRES

A RELATIONSHIP WITH YOU.

NOTHING CAN SEPARATE YOU FROM

HIS LOVE. PRAY WITH ME NOW.

LORD JESUS, I COME BEFORE YOU

AND YOU KNOW ALL THAT I CARRY.

YOU KNOW WHAT I'VE BEEN A

VICTIM OF. YOU KNOW THE

DECISIONS I'VE MADE. YOU KNOW

HOW I'VE MADE MY CIRCUMSTANCES

WORSE AS I'VE SOUGHT TO COPE.

LORD GOD, THIS DAY, TODAY, COME

BEFORE THE THROWN AND I SAY,

LORD, I NEED YOU. JESUS, I

DON'T JUST COME BEFORE YOU SO

MY CIRCUMSTANCES CHANGE. I

DESIRE YOU IN MY LIFE. I WANT

TO GIVE MY SOUL, MY VERY BEING

TO YOU BECAUSE I REALIZE I WAS

CREATED IN THE IMAGE OF GOD FOR

A PURPOSE AND IT IS NOT TO BE

AN ADDICT. IT'S TO LIVE FOR

YOU. LORD JESUS, TODAY I REPENT

OF MY SINCE AND I COMMIT MY

LIFE TO YOU AND NOW, LORD, I

ASK YOU TO LEAD ME AND GUIDE ME

BY THE HOLY SPIRIT. LORD, FOR

THOSE WHO JUST PRAY WITH ME, I

PRAY YOUR HOLY SPIRIT ACTS AND

MOVES IN A LOVING, GENTLE,

COMPASSIONATE AND POWERFUL WAY

AS YOU REVEAL YOUR LOVE TO

THEM. IN JESUS NAME I PRAY,

AMEN. AS I SAID, THIS IS JUST

THE START OF A JOURNEY FOR YOU.

WE HAVE SOMETHING YOU WE WANT

TO OUR. IT'S CALLED "A NEW

DAY." IT HAS SCRIPTURE, IT HAS

TEACHING AND WILL HELP YOU

UNDERSTAND THE PRAYER YOU'VE

PRAYED AND WHAT'S NEXT AND

REMIND YOU AND TEACH YOU ABOUT

GOD'S LOVE FOR YOU. GIVE US A

CALL AT 1-800-700-7000. YOU CAN

GO TO CBN.COM/ANEWDAY AND WE

AS ALWAYS, YOU CAN GET THE

> RENT, TWO CAR PAYMENTS,

DAILY LIVING EXPENSES AND A

WHOPPER OF A MORTGAGE ON A LAND

PURCHASE. THAT'S WHAT LARRY AND

STEPHANIE LARSON WERE JUGGLING

WHEN THEIR BUSINESS BEGAN TO

TANK. HERE IS WHAT THEY DID TO

WIPE OUT ALL THEIR DEBT AND TO

BUILD MORE BUSINESS THAN EVER.

Reporter: LARRY AND

STEPHANIE LARSON LIVED A

COMFORTABLE LIFE IN SOUTHERN

CALIFORNIA THE FIRST FEW YEARS

OF THEIR MARRIAGE. LARRY WAS AN

AEROSPACE ENGINEER WITH A DREAM

OF BRANCHING OUT AND HAVING HIS

OWN BUSINESS. SOON, HE FOUNDED

CO-ACTION CONSULTING.

I REMEMBER JUST SENSING THE

LORD SAY THIS IS WHAT YOU

SHOULD DO. WE'VE DONE

VENTILATORS, CONSUMER

ELECTRONICS LIKE iPHONE

ACCESSORIES, CONNECTED DEVICES

THAT CONNECT TO THE CLOUD.

Reporter: THEN, SEVERAL OF

LARRY'S PARTNERS BOWED OUT AND

BUSINESS DWINDLING SLASHING THE

LARSON'S ONCE SIX-FIGURE

INCOME. STEPHANIE CONTINUED TO

GET WORK AS A HAIRSTYLIST WHICH

ALLOWED HER TO BUILD INTO THE

COUPLE'S SAVINGS. THE BILLS

KEPT COMING. RENT, TWO CAR

PAYMENTS, DAILY LIVING EXPENSES

AND THE BIGGEST ONE A VARIABLE

MONTHLY MORTGAGE ON LAND THEY

BOUGHT TO BUILD A HOME.

WHEN I SAW WHAT VARIABLE

INTEREST VERSUS WHAT I WAS

PAYING, I GOT SICK TO MY

STOMACH AND THOUGHT WHAT IF WE

NEVER PAY THIS OFF.

Reporter: HE HAD NO INCOME

TO REPORT ON HIS TAXES AND HAD

TO USE HIS COMPANY CREDIT CARD

TO KEEP THE BUSINESS GOING.

STILL IN THE MIDST OF THE

UNCERTAINTY, THE COUPLE TITHED

FROM STEPHANIE'S INCOME.

I ACTUALLY LOVED DOING IT. I

LOVED TITHING. I LOVED -- I

LOVE BEING ABLE TO GIVE TO THE

LORD. IT IS A FORM OF WORSHIP

TO HIM.

THAT WAS JUST A WAY IN WHICH

I SAW THAT BLESSING COULD COME

BACK AND I WANTED BLESSING IN

MY LIFE.

Reporter: AS THEY TITHED,

STEPHANIE'S BUSINESS PROSPERED

AND THEY SAW GOD PROVIDE THEIR

BASIC NEEDS. LARRY STILL

QUESTIONED WHY HIS COMPANY WAS

STRUGGLING AND THE COMPANY WAS

IN A FINANCIAL SLUMP.

I JUST GOT TO THE POINT

WHERE I'M LIKE, YOU KNOW, I'M

NOT GOING TO REALIZE MY DREAMS

IN LIFE. LIKE, THEY ARE JUST

NOT GOING TO HAPPEN.

Reporter: HE BEGAN READING

AND STUDYING THE BIBLE MORE IN

DEPTH. LARRY SAYS AS HIS MIND

WAS BEING RENEWED, HE FIGURED

OUT WHAT HIS PROBLEM WAS.

I WAS TRYING TO GET GOD'S

BLESSING BY BEING OBEDIENT

VERSUS RECEIVING GOD'S BLESSING

BY PROMISE. HE WAS ALWAYS THERE

EVEN IN MOMENTS THAT I DIDN'T

EXPERIENCE PEACE OR JOY. IT WAS

THERE. IT WAS ACCESSIBLE. IT

WAS LIKE A BANK ACCOUNT I

WASN'T DRAWING ON. I BEGAN TO

JUST RELY ON GOD'S PROMISE. NO,

THIS SITUATION IS NOT GOING TO

MESS THINGS UP IN THE BUSINESS.

HE IS GOING TO TAKE CARE OF

THIS SITUATION.

Reporter: MEANWHILE,

STEPHANIE WAS GOING THROUGH

SOME SERIOUS ESOPHAGUS ISSUES.

IT WAS DURING THAT TIME THAT

SHE DISCOVERED "THE 700 CLUB"

AND STARTED WATCHING

CONTINUALLY.

I COULDN'T FIND ANY OTHER

MINISTRY THAT WAS PUTTING OUT

HOPE, HOPE TESTIMONIES WHERE

SOMETHING IMPOSSIBLE HAPPENED.

I REMEMBER ONE DAY I CAME

ACROSS A VIDEO THROUGH YouTUBE

OF CBN. TERRY SAID THERE'S

SOMEONE OUT THERE RIGHT NOW.

YOU HAVE BEEN HAVING AN ISSUE

WITH YOUR STOMACH AND THE ACIDS

IN YOUR STOMACH. SOMETHING

ISN'T RIGHT THERE AND IT HAS

CAUSED A LOT OF PROBLEMS FOR

YOU. THE DOCTORS DON'T REALLY

KNOW WHAT IT IS, BUT THE LORD

IS HEALING YOU AND YOU ARE

GOING TO BE ABLE TO EAT AGAIN.

I SAID, I'M CLAIMING THIS. I

HAVEN'T HAD ONE ISSUE EVER

SINCE.

Reporter: THE COUPLE BECAME

CBN PARTNERS.

I FELT SO BLESSED BY THEM

THAT I WANTED TO GIVE TO THEM.

I REMEMBER I CALLED THEIR

PRAYER HOTLINE AND THEY ASKED

ME, OH, DO YOU WANT TO BECOME A

PARTNER? I WAS LIKE, YEAH, I

WAS LIKE, YEAH, WHY HASN'T

ANYONE ASKED ME THIS BEFORE.

CBN'S MINISTRY REALLY

RENEWED HER MIND AND GOT HER. I

WATCHED IT HAPPEN. GOT HER IN

AN ATMOSPHERE OF FAITH THAT I

REALLY BELIEVE RELEASED GOD'S

HEALING OVER HER. I FEEL LIKE

IT WASHED OVER INTO ME TOO AS

SHE WAS HAVING MORE FAITH, I

WAS STARTING TO HAVE MORE

FAITH.

Reporter: STEPHANIE'S

HEALING LED THEM BOTH TO

SURRENDER CONTROL PUTTING NO

FAITH IN THEIR SAVINGS ACCOUNT

OR EARNING POTENTIAL AND

TOTALLY TRUSTING GOD WITH THEIR

FUTURE AND FINANCES ESPECIALLY

THEIR DEBT.

THE LORD SAID YOU'RE GOING

TO KEEP TITHING, YOU'RE GOING

TO KEEP GIVING, BUT NOW I WANT

YOU TO BECOME AGGRESSIVE ABOUT

PAYING OFF YOUR DEBT. THEN, AS

YOU ARE DOING THAT, I'M GOING

TO HELP YOU. I IMMEDIATELY

BELIEVED. I JUST PUT EVERYTHING

TOWARD DEBT AND THEN WITHIN

THREE TO FOUR MONTHS OF MAKING

THAT COMMITMENT, I SOMEHOW HAD

$12,000 EXTRA DOLLARS THAT I

HONESTLY CAN'T TELL YOU WHERE

IT CAME FROM. I'M LIKE GOD IS

IN THIS.

Reporter: IT WASN'T LONG

BEFORE THE MORTGAGE ON LARSON'S

LAND AND ALL THEIR OTHER DEBT

WAS WIPED OCCUPY. LARRY GOT A

NEW CONTRACT AND THEIR SAVINGS

WAS REPLENISHED. THEY MOVED TO

TENNESSEE AND TODAY LARRY IS

GETTING MORE BUSINESS THAN

EVER. STEPHANIE DOESN'T HAVE TO

WORK UNLESS SHE WANTS TO, AND

NOW THE COUPLE HAS THE HOME

THEY ALWAYS WANTED.

NOW IT IS ALMOST LIKE SOME

OF MY DREAMS HAVE HAPPENED SO

QUICKLY IT HAS CAUSED ANOTHER

PROBLEM WHERE IT'S LIKE, OH,

GREAT, WHAT SHOULD I DREAM

ABOUT NEXT.

THE MORE THAT WE HAVE

STEPPED OUT IN FAITH AND RISKED

WITH THE LORD, THE MORE HE HAS

SHOWN HIMSELF FAITHFUL. IF YOU

WANT TO GET OUT OF DEBT, THE

WAY TO GET OUT FASTER IS TO

GIVE. ANYTHING THAT YOU ARE

GIVING, YOU ARE GIVING HIM AN

OPPORTUNITY TO BLESS IT AND

MULTIPLY IT AND USE IT FOR HIS

KINGDOM.

ONE OF THE THINGS THAT THIS

COUPLE TALKED ABOUT THAT'S SO

SIGNIFICANT IS THAT IN

FOLLOWING GOD, IN SEEKING AFTER

HIM TO FIND HIS WAYS, THEY LET

GO. YOU KNOW, WHEN WE LET GOD

BE IN CHARGE OF OUR LIVES, IT

IS SO MUCH RICHER, SO MUCH MORE

SATISFYING, SO MUCH MORE

FULFILLING. SO, THROUGH TRUTH,

BIBLICAL TRUTHS THAT THEY

LEARNED, THEY BEGAN TO CHANGE

THE WAY THAT THEY MANAGED THEIR

MONEY. IN GIVING, FOLLOWING

GOD'S WORD, THEY BEGAN TO MEET

THE NEEDS OF OTHER PEOPLE. GOD

PUTS US IN FAMILY FOR A REASON.

WE JUST WANT TO SAY WE'D LOVE

TO HAVE YOU BE PART OF THE CBN

FAMILY BECAUSE OUR GOAL IS TO

STOP CONTROLLING, LET GOD REACH

OUT, MEET THE NEEDS OF OTHERS,

AND DRAW CLOSER TO JESUS

CHRIST. LET'S DO THAT TOGETHER

BECAUSE WE CAN CHANGE THE WORLD

WHEN WE DO THAT. IF YOU JOIN

"THE 700 CLUB," AT $65 A DAY,

$20 A MONTH, THAT'S A GENERAL

CLUB MEMBERSHIP. WE HAVE LOTS

OF CLUB LEVELS YOU CAN JOIN.

YOU SEE THEM THERE. THAT TOP

LINE IS THE GENERAL MEMBERSHIP.

MAYBE YOU ARE ALREADY A "THE

700 CLUB" MEMBER. WHY DON'T GO

UP TO "THE 700 CLUB" GOLD. YOU

CAN'T IMAGINE THE DIFFERENCE IT

MAKES OR BECOME A 1,000 CLUB

MEMBER AT $84 A MONTH AND WE

FOUNDERS LEVEL. ASK WHAT GOD

HE'D HAVE YOU DO. PICK UP THE

PHONE. CALL OUR NUMBER

CLUB." WE WELCOME YOU TO THE

FAMILY OF MINISTRIES HERE. WHEN

TO SAY THANK YOU TO YOU BY

SENDING YOU POWER FOR LIFE

TEACHINGS WHEN YOU USE PLEDGE

EXPRESS. I USE IT. IT'S

WONDERFUL. IT'S ELECTRONIC

MONTHLY GIVING. IT MEANS YOUR

BANK DOES ALL THE WORK. YOU

DON'T NEED STAMPS OR ENVELOPES.

IT SAVES US ADMINISTRATIVE

COSTS. I THINK YOU'RE GOING TO

ENJOY THESE POWER FOR LIFE

TEACHINGS. THEY ARE TEACHINGS

WE GET HERE. WE WANT TO SHARE

THEM WITH YOU. WOULD YOU CALL

> I JUST WATCHED MY SON DIE

RIGHT IN FRONT OF ME. THAT'S

WHAT SHE THOUGHT WHEN HER SON

WAS HIT BY A CAR ON THE

HIGHWAY. THIS MOM WENT INTO

PANIC OVERDRIVE.

Reporter: THE ROUTH FAMILY

WERE ON THEIR WAY TO THEIR

ANNUAL VACATION, CAMPING IN

MYRTLE BEACH, SOUTH CAROLINA.

AS ALWAYS, THEY PRAYED BEFORE

GETTING ON THE ROAD.

WE PRAYED FOR TRAVELING

MERCIES THAT WE WOULD BE A BOLD

WITNESS FOR EVERYBODY WE COME

IN CONTACT WHILE WE'RE OUT AND

ON VACATION AND EVERYTHING

ELSE.

Reporter: ALMOST TWO HOURS

INTO THE TRIP, THEY STOPPED FOR

GAS AND A BITE TO EAT. WHILE

THERE, THE FATHER, MIKE, AND

THEIR OLDEST DAUGHTER, STAYED

AT THE GAS STATION. AS THE MOM

STARTED ACROSS A BUSY

INTERSECTION WITH THEIR YOUNGER

CHILDREN. AFTER CROSSING THE

FIRST TWO LANES SAFELY, PARIS

AND CALY STOPPED WHEN THEY SAW

ONCOMING TRAFFIC, HOWEVER

FISHER DIDN'T LOOK AND STEPPED

IN FRONT OF AN ONCOMING TRUCK.

I SAW WHAT WAS ABOUT TO

HAPPEN AND I SAID, "FISHER,

LOOK RIGHT" AND HE WAS THROWN

IN THE AIR. HE LANDED ON HIS

HEAD AND LANDED IN A CRUMPLE. I

THOUGHT TO MYSELF THE THOUGHT

CROSSED MY MIND YOU JUST

WATCHED YOUR SON DIE RIGHT

FRONT OF YOU.

Reporter: FRANTIC, PARIS

CALLED 911. MIKE AND REBECCA

RAN TO THEIR SIDE.

YOU GO IMMEDIATELY TO

THINKING THE WORSE. WHAT WOULD

HE LOOK LIKE? WOULD I BE ABLE

TO TALK TO HIM? HE WAS EIGHTEEN

WISHING IN PAIN AND CRYING AND

IT'S A TIME YOU REALIZE THERE

IS NOBODY BUT GOD THAT CAN HELP

YOU AT THAT POINT.

I WAS PRAYING AND BEGGING

GOD FOR HIS LIFE AND JUST

SAYING PLEASE DON'T TAKE HIM

FROM ME.

Reporter: THE PARAMEDICS

ARRIVED WITHIN MINUTES. AFTER

STABLIZING FISHER, THEY PUT HIM

ALONG WITH HIS MOM IN AN

AMBULANCE AND HEADED TOWARD

McLEOD REGIONAL MEDICAL CENTER,

A TRAUMA ONE FACILITY. BY NOW,

FRIENDS, FAMILY AND THEIR

CHURCH HAD BEEN TOLD TO PRAY

FOR FISHER.

I WANTED TO LET HIM KNOW WE

HAD MANY PEOPLE PRAYING FOR HIM

AND THE OTHER THING THAT WAS

REALLY ON MY HEART I SAID,

FISHER, I LOVE YOU.

Reporter: IN THE E. R.,

DOCTORS' BIGGEST FEAR WAS THAT

HE SUFFERED SEVERE BRAIN

DAMAGE.

WE WAITED FOR THOSE TEST

RESULTS TO COME BACK AND THAT

IS AN ANGUISHING TIME TO WAIT.

THERE WAS NO BROKEN BONES, NO

SKULL FRACTURE, NO BRAIN BLEED.

THERE WAS NO PROBLEM SHOWN ON

THE CT SCAN. NEVER SAY THANK

YOU ENOUGH TO GOD. THEY WERE

ABLE TO ALL BE TOGETHER AND

THAT WE STILL HAVE FISHER WITH

US.

I JUST STARTED THINKING

ABOUT THE GOODNESS OF GOD IN

OUR LIFE. ALL THE GLORY, ALL

THE CREDIT, EVERYTHING WAS TO

HIM.

Reporter: SEVEN HOURS LATER,

FISHER WAS RELEASED ALTHOUGH

BANDAGED UP, IN SOME PAIN AND A

LITTLE FOGGY, HE AND THE FAMILY

WERE ABLE TO CONTINUE THEIR

VACATION. AFTER A COUPLE OF

DAYS REST, FISHER WAS ENJOYING

ALL THE ACTIVITIES HE LOVED. HE

EVEN WENT SWIMMING.

I REALIZE HOW MUCH WORSE IT

COULD HAVE BEEN AND WHAT I WAS

PROTECTED FROM AND I WAS

THANKFUL TO GOD THAT I WAS

ALIVE AND THAT I WAS ABLE TO GO

ON VACATION STILL.

AS I LOOKED AT HIM, I JUST

KEPT GOING BACK TO THE GOODNESS

OF GOD AND THAT THERE WAS SO

MANY THINGS THAT HAD TO BE

ALIGNED FOR HIM TO BE ABLE TO

BE STANDING THERE LIKE HE WAS.

Reporter: SINCE THEN, FISHER

HAS COMPLETELY HEALED AND HAS

NO RESIDUAL EFFECTS FROM THE

CONCUSSION. POLICE REPORTS

WOULD LATER CONCLUDE THE CAR

WAS GOING ALMOST 30 MILES PER

HOUR AND HE WAS THROWN 15 FEET

IN THE AIR BEFORE LANDING ON

HIS HEAD. THE DOCTORS SAID IT

WAS A MIRACLE HE SURVIVED.

PRAYER DEFINITELY HAD

SOMETHING TO DO WITH ME JUST

BEING OKAY. IF YOU PRAY AND ARE

SINCERE ABOUT WHAT YOU ARE

PRAYING, YOU WILL RECEIVE AN

ANSWER.

WE PUT GOD IN A BOX AND IF

WE WILL TRUST HIM AND WE WILL

PUT OUR LIFE IN HIS HANDS

FULLY, HE WILL BLESS US.

WE COULD NEVER SAY THANK YOU

ENOUGH FOR GOD TO HEAL OUR SON,

TO GIVE US THIS MIRACLE. GOD IS

FAITHFUL. HE IS TRUSTWORTHY.

WHAT AN ANSWER TO PRAYER. I

THINK OF THAT WORSHIP SONG THAT

WE SANG HIS GOODNESS IS RUNNING

AFTER ME. HIS GOODNESS RAN

AFTER THAT FAMILY AND IT IS

RUNNING AFTER YOU AS WELL. I

DON'T KNOW WHAT YOUR NEEDS ARE

TODAY, BUT WE'D LOVE TO TAKE

SOMETIME ON THIS PROGRAM TO

JUST ASK GOD TO MEET YOU WHERE

YOU ARE AT, TO SPEAK INTO THAT

PLACE OF NEED. YOU DON'T HAVE

TO HAVE YOUR CONDITION

MENTIONED TO RECEIVE HEALING

FROM THE LORD. WHEN WE PRAY AT

THIS TIME ALL TOGETHER, WE ARE

COMING BEFORE THE THRONE OF

GOD, COMING TO OUR FATHER AND

ASKING HIM TO COME TO OUR POINT

OF NEED AND ASKING FOR HIS

POWER THAT ONLY HE HAS TO GIVE.

PLAY EXPECTANTLY TODAY. FOR

ABOUT THREE WEEKS, WAYNE WHO

LIVES IN SENICA, SOUTH

CAROLINA, EXPERIENCED

INTERMITTENT SEVERE PAIN IN HIS

NECK EXPERIENCED BY A CLOGGING

IN HIS LEFT AIR. ONE DAY

WALKING WITH LIST DOG WAS CUT

SHORT BY SEVERE PAIN AND HAD TO

STOP AT A PARK BENCH. HE

ARRIVED BACK HOME IN TIME TO

WATCH "THE 700 CLUB" AND YOU

GAVE A WORD OF KNOWLEDGE ABOUT

SOMEONE WITH SEVERE NECK PAIN.

YOU DESCRIBED HIS SYMPTOMS

PERFECTLY. WAYNE RECEIVED THE

WORD, BEGAN PRAISING GOD AND

WAS SUDDENLY PAIN FREE. 'S

TURNED HIS HEAD BACK AND FORTH

AS YOU ASKED HIM TO DO OR ASKED

THE PERSON TO DO, HE FELT A

SMALL POPPING SOUND IN HIS LEFT

EAR AND HE IMMEDIATELY OPENED.

BOTH CONDITIONS ANSWERED LIKE

THAT.

WAYNE, THANK YOU FOR LETTING

US KNOW. WE CELEBRATE WITH YOU.

WE ARE HUMBLED TO PLAY EVEN A

SMALL PART IN COMMUNICATING

WITH GOD IS DOING. HERE IS

ANOTHER, TERRY, THIS ONE STRUCK

HER RIGHT HAND ON HER STOMACH.

HEARD TERRY SAY THERE'S LADY BY

THE NAME OF ESTHER. HER RIGHT

HAND IS ON HER STOMACH AND GOD

IS HEALING HER. ESTHER JUMPED

UP AND SAID THAT'S ME. SHE

JUMPED UP AND STARTED SPEAKING

IN THE HOLY SPIRIT AND ALL HER

PAIN LEFT. PRAISE THE LORD. WE

WANT TO PRAY FOR YOU NOW.

PLEASE JOIN WITH US. HEAVENLY

FATHER, WE COME BEFORE YOU IN

THE NAME OF JESUS. THERE IS A

MASSIVE ARMY NOW WATCHING THIS

ARMOR SO WE HAVE OUR SWORD OF

ON THE THROWN, YOU LISTEN, YOU

CARE AND YOU WILL ACT AND MOVE

IN THE NAME OF JESUS. THANK

YOU, FATHER.

THERE'S SOMEONE. YOU HAVE A

CONDITION WITH YOUR HAIR

FOLLICLES. IT'S NOT ALOPECIA

THOUGH. I DON'T KNOW WHAT IT

IS. YOUR HAIR IS FALLING OUT

AND BECOME VERY THIN. GOD IS

HEALING THAT CONDITION FOR YOU.

YOU ARE JUST GOING TO NOTICE

THAT IT IS STARTING TO FILL IN,

TO GROW AGAIN AND THAT

CONDITION IS GONE. SOMEONE

ELSE, YOU HAVE ALL OF THE

GLANDS IN YOUR NECK AND DOWN

INTO YOUR SHOULDERS ARE

SWOLLEN. SOME KIND OF INFECTION

THAT YOU ARE DEALING WITH. GOD

IS JUST HEALING THAT FOR YOU

RIGHT NOW. YOU ARE GOING TO

FEEL THAT WARMTH COME IN. YOU

CAN TURN YOUR NECK AGAIN

WITHOUT IT HURTING BECAUSE OF

THAT SWELLING. YOU ARE HEALED

IN JESUS' NAME.

FATHER GOD, I SPEAK THE

WORDS OF ISAIAH THAT NO WEAPON

FORMED AGAINST FAMILIES,

AGAINST PEOPLE IN THIS AUDIENCE

SHALL PROSPER. NO WEAPON FORMED

BY THE ENEMY SHALL PROSPER.

CHURCH AND PEOPLE WATCHING, IT

IS TIME TO RISE UP. IT'S TIME

TO RISE UP AND PRAY AND HAVE

BOLD CONFIDENCE IN YOUR GOD.

THANK YOU, JESUS. THERE'S

SOMEONE WATCHING. I THINK YOU

ARE NEXT TO YOUR HUSBAND WHO IS

IN A HOSPITAL BED AND YOU ARE

ALMOST DETECTING HE'S A MANGLED

MESS. GOD IS GOING TO RESTORE

HIM IN THE NAME OF JESUS. HE

HEARS YOUR CRY. HE'S A

COMPASSIONATE GOD. YOU'RE GOING

TO SEE A MIGHTY WORK IN YOUR

HUSBAND'S LIFE AND BODY IN

JESUS' NAME.

VERY YOUNG COUPLE. YOU HAVE

TWO, YOUNG CHILDREN FACING A

FINANCIAL CRISIS. BELIEVE GOD.

GIVE WHAT YOU ARE ABLE TO, BUT

TRUST HIM. LET GO. STOP TRYING

TO CONTROL IT. JUST RECEIVE HIS

PROVISION FOR YOU. HE IS YOUR

LORD THE PROVIDER.

SOMEONE WITH A STABBING,

STABBING PAIN IN YOUR LOWER

BACK. IT'S DEBILITATING. YOU

ARE JUST UNABLE TO BE MOBILE.

JESUS IS HEALING YOU NOW.

YOU'VE BEEN PRAYING EARNESTLY

FOR HEALING AND HE'S HEALING

YOU NOW. SOMEONE ELSE HAS AN

ISSUE IN AND THEY'RE BLEEDING.

THE BLEEDING DOESN'T STOP AND

IT GOES ON AND ON AND ON. YOU

ARE BEING HEALED OF THAT

CONDITION. SOMEONE ELSE IS

CRYING OUT THAT THEY ARE NOT

HOLY ENOUGH TO PRAY. THEY ARE

NOT GOOD ENOUGH TO PARTICIPATE

IN PRAYER OR RECEIVE A TOUCH

FROM GOD, AND THE LORD WANTS TO

POINT YOU TO THE CROSS WHERE

JESUS SACRIFICED HIMSELF ON

YOUR BEHALF. HE IS WORTHY. HE

IS WORTHY. WE CAN PARTICIPATE

IN HIS LOVE AND HIS KINGDOM

BECAUSE OF HIS SACRIFICE AND

RESURRECTION. THANK YOU, JESUS,

FOR HOPE IN YOU. IT'S IN JESUS'

NAME WE PRAY. AMEN. IF YOU HAVE

EXPERIENCED A MIRACLE, WE WANT

TO HEAR FROM YOU. YOU KNOW

THAT. 1-800-700-7000 IS THE

NUMBER TO CALL AND LET US KNOW

OR IF YOU NEED PRAYER, CALL

THAT NUMBER. HEAR WORDS FROM

JEREMIAH. BEHOLD, I AM THE

LORD, THE GOD OF ALL FLESH. IS

THERE ANYTHING TOO HARD FOR ME?
