PRESIDENTIAL HOPEFULS DESCENDED

FOR THE IOWA STATE FAIR. JENNA

BROWDER HAS THAT STORY AND MORE

FROM OUR NEWS BUREAU IN

WASHINGTON. JENNA?

Reporter: THERE WERE CHEERS

FOR PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATES AT

THE IOWA STATE FAIR THIS

WEEKEND. WHILE PRESIDENT JOE

BIDEN AND FORMER PRESIDENT

TRUMP ARE HOLDING BIG LEADS,

ABIGAIL ROBERTSON SPOKE WITH

SOME VOTERS WHO SUGGESTED THE

RAIDERS -- RACES ARE CLOSER

THAN THE VOTERS SHOW.

Reporter: EVERY YEAR THE

IOWA STATE FAIR TURNS INTO A

DESTINATION FOR POLITICAL

TOURISTS . PEOPLE COME FROM ALL

ACROSS THE COUNTRY TO MEET HERE

AND MAYBE FLIP A PORK CHOP

ALONGSIDE CANDIDATES VYING FOR

THEIR SUPPORT IN THE

PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION. THOSE IN

THE GOP FIELD DID THEIR BEST TO

STAND OUT , EVEN WINNING VOTERS

BY WRAPPING HIS FAVORITE SONG.

CANDIDATES FROM BOTH SIDE

STEPPED ON THE FAMOUS SOAPBOX

AND REPUBLICANS JOINED

REYNOLDS FOR A FIRESIDE CHAT.

IMPOSING ITS WILL ON US . IT IS

TIME WE, THE PEOPLE, IMPOSE ITS

WILL ON IT.

Reporter: AND DONALD TRUMP

WE WILL WIN IOWA.

FLORIDA CONGRESSMEN WHO SUPPORT

HIM OVER RON DeSANTIS.

WE WILL TAKE CARE OF IOWA

TENT. MIKE PENCE SPOKE OUT

DURING SPEECHES.

YOU ARE A TRADER!

Reporter: AND SOME PEOPLE

HELD A SIGN BEHIND NIKKI HALEY

THAT READ, "EAT A CORN DOG, YOU

COWARD."

I THINK IT IS TIME TO LOOK

BEYOND PRESIDENT TRUMP . HE DID

GREAT THINGS FOR THE COUNTRY

BUT IT'S TIME TO MOVE FORWARD

AND LOOK TO THE NEXT GENERATION

OF REPUBLICAN LEADERS.

I DON'T THINK HE IS AS FAR

AHEAD AS WHAT THE POLLS ARE

MAKING HIM OUT TO BE.

Reporter: MANY RAISED

CONCERNS ABOUT THE FORMER

PRESIDENT AND IF HE IS

ELECTABLE IN THE JANUARY

ELECTION .

I LIKE DONALD TRUMP AND

TOTALLY SUPPORT HIS POLICIES

BUT FOR SOME REASON, JUST TO

SAY HIS NAME TO PEOPLE, THEY

SEEM TO HAVE LIKE A VISCERAL

REACTION . THAT CONCERNS ME .

I THINK THEY'VE TAKEN AWAY

HIS PROTECTION.

Reporter: PRESIDENT JOE

BIDEN DOESN'T PLAN TO MAKE A

STOP AT THIS YOUR'S FAIR. HIS

TWO OPPONENTS BOTH ATTENDED.

57% OF THE PEOPLE IN THIS

COUNTRY ARE NOT MAKING ENOUGH

MONEY TO PAY FOR BASIC HUMAN

NEEDS.

Reporter: VOTERS TELL CBN

NEWS THEY WISH DEMOCRATS WERE

HOLDING PRIMARY DEBATES TOO.

WE SHOULD WELCOME THE

DEBATES AND THE CONVERSATIONS

. THAT IS WHERE TRUTH IS FOUND.

Reporter: GOP CANDIDATES

WILL CONTINUE TO VISIT THE

HAWKEYE STATE UNTIL IOWA'S

FIRST OF THE NATION CAUCUS IN

JANUARY. THEY ARE SHAKING UP

HE WAS THE ONE WHO ALLOWED

THE STATUTE OF LIMITATIONS TO

EPIRE ON FELONY CHARGES THAT

COULD HAVE BEEN BROUGHT AGAINST

WERE QUESTIONS OVER

> WE HAVE A SAD ANNOUNCEMENT

TODAY. CBN'S SCOTT ROSS HAS

PASSED AWAY. SCOTT HAS BEEN A

REPORTER, HOST, AND BELOVED

PERSONALITY SINCE THE EARLY

DAYS AT CBN. HE WAS A FATHER,

HUSBAND , AND A FRIEND. LAST

WEEK , HE PASSED INTO

ETERNITY.

Reporter: SCOTT ROSS IS WELL

KNOWN TO 700 CLUB VIEWERS

OVER THE YEARS FOR HOSTING

MULTIPLE PROGRAMS AND WAS

ALWAYS ENTERTAINING WITH

HOLLYWOOD STARS, MUSICIANS, AND

PUBLIC FIGURES.

GOD LOVES YOU AND YOU LOVE

YOU.

I AM NOT ANGRY AT MYSELF ,

LIKE I WAS. NO, SIR.

Reporter: SCOTT WAS A MAJOR

PLAYER IN NEW YORK CITY'S RADIO

SCENE LEADING TO HIS PROGRAM

BEING SYNDICATED ON OVER 200

STATIONS, EARNING HIM FIVE

BILLBOARD AWARDS. DURING THOSE

DAYS, RUNNING WITH THE TOP

ARTISTS HE WAS FORCED TO

REEVALUATE HIS WALK WITH THE

LORD THAT HAD BEGUN WHEN HE WAS

A CHILD AND HE SHARED ABOUT HIS

FAITH JOURNEY IN AN INTERVIEW

BROADCAST ON THE 700 CLUB IN

2018, APPEARING WITH HIS WIFE .

I WAS BORN IN SCOTLAND. MY

DAD IS FROM THE MINISTRY. I

GAVE MY LIFE TO GOD WHEN I WAS

5 AND CAME TO AMERICA WHEN I

WAS 10. THE CHALLENGES OF A NEW

CULTURE AND A NUMBER OF OTHER

THINGS -- I WALKED AWAY FROM

THE LORD FOR A LONG TIME. IN

NEW YORK, I WASN'T WALKING WITH

THE LORD . STILL, I CAME BACK

TO THE LORD IN A SMALL CHURCH

OUTSIDE OF HAGERSTOWN, MARYLAND

WHERE MY MOM HAD LIVED AND

WHERE I LIVED. I CAME DOWN TO

VISIT HER AND MOM WANTED ME TO

GO TO CHURCH. I WENT TO CHURCH

BUT I SAT IN THE PARKING LOT

AND GOT HIGH FIRST ON THE

GRASS. I ALWAYS SAY THAT I SAID

WAY IN THE BACKS OF THE LORD

COULDN'T SEE US, BUT IN THE

MIDDLE OF THIS CHURCH SERVICE,

SOMEONE HAD A WORD . THERE

WERE TWO PEOPLE THERE THAT THE

LORD WAS CALLING AND SAYING,

YOU KNOW, COME BACK TO ME . I

WILL TAKE CARE OF YOU BOYS.

SCOTT, ALONG WITH HIS FAMOUS

WIFE AND THE ROCK AND ROLL

HALL OF FAME SUPERGROUP, WOULD

DEPEND ON THEIR DEEP FAITH TO

GET THEM THROUGH HARD TIMES.

THEY OFTEN REMINISCE ABOUT

THEIR EARLY DAYS TOGETHER.

SCOTT, YOU DID PRETTY WELL

FOR YOURSELF, OF COURSE. SHE IS

A LOVELY LADY AND YOU WERE

CAPTIVATED RIGHT FROM THE

BEGINNING?

IT WAS BEFORE ALL OF THE BE

MY BABY .

AND SHE BECAME MY BABY.

Reporter: LIVING IN THE

SOUND AS AN INTERRACIAL COUPLE

BECAME CHALLENGING. THEY

WORRIED ABOUT THE FUTURE OF

CBN, NOW THAT SCOTT WAS PART OF

THE BROADCAST.

TO PAT ROBERTSON 'S CREDIT,

I WAS ACCOSTED BY SOME PEOPLE,

SO-CALLED CHRISTIANS WHO

WANTED TO KNOW THE SAME THING,

WHERE IS SHE FROM ? INTERRACIAL

MARRIAGE ? ET CETERA . THERE

WERE PEOPLE WHO DID NOT WANT TO

SUPPORT CBN AT THAT TIME

BECAUSE OF OUR MARRIAGE. BUT

PAT STOOD WITH US AND SAID,

YOU KNOW, MONEY IS NOT THE

ISSUE AND THESE TWO ARE

MARRIED BEFORE GOD AND THAT IS

THAT AND SO WE HAD THAT KIND

OF SUPPORT .

DID THESE EXPERIENCES BRING

YOU TWO CLOSER TOGETHER?

IT WAS US AGAINST THE WORLD.

WE ARE WHO WE ARE AND WE ARE

STICKING TOGETHER AND

ACTUALLY, WHEN WE STARTED TO

PRAY TOGETHER , IT WAS ON OUR

HONEYMOON, WHICH WE REALLY DID

END NO -- DIDN'T KNOW TO DO

THAT. WE CAME TO THE LORD

JESUS TOGETHER.

A FOUNDATION OF YOUR

MARRIAGE WAS PRAYING EVERY DAY?

RIGHT .

Reporter: IN FRONT OF THE

CAMERAS, SCOTT ENJOYED HOSTING

THE TALK SHOW, "SCOTT ROSS

STRAIGHT TALK. "

YOU ARE MORE LIKELY TO

ATTACK US THEN WE ARE OF YOU,

SCOTT.

Reporter: SCOTT HAD MANY

MEMORABLE ONE-ON-ONE

INTERVIEWS. OBEDIENCE IS A BIG

WORD.

I REMEMBER SOMEONE SAYING TO

ME ONCE IT COST YOU TO OBEY

GOD. IT COSTS YOU MORE NOT TO.

YES. YES.

NOT JUST AS AN ACTOR, BUT

HOW DO YOU PREPARE TO PLAY THE

SON OF GOD?

THAT IS A GREAT QUESTION.

YOU KNOW, HOW DO YOU PREPARE?

BY FIRE? PLAYING IT , LOOKING

BACK, THERE WERE TWO WORDS,

UNQUENCHABLE FIRE.

Reporter: AFTER THE PLANES

HIT THE WORLD TRADE CENTER ON

SEPTEMBER 11th, 2001, SCOTT

HEADED TO NEW YORK TO MINISTER

TO THE PEOPLE OF NEW YORK CITY.

CHRISTIANS HAVE COME HERE

TO PRAY OVER THIS PLACE. WE

THANK YOU, FATHER, FOR YOUR

KNOWLEDGE THAT EVEN THOUGH WE

WALK THROUGH THE VALLEY OF THE

SHADOW OF DEATH HERE, WE WILL

FEAR NO EITHER -- EVO.

ENCOURAGE THEM .

HE WAS SIDELINED WHEN HE

FACED THE CANCER DIAGNOSIS IN

2015. SCOTT LEARNED MUCH ABOUT

THE LORD DURING HIS HEALTH

BATTLE.

PEOPLE HEAR THE WORD CANCER

AND THEY ARE TERRIFIED.

YOU KNOW, THE BIG C IS NOT

CANCER, IT IS CHRIST. IT IS

NOT CANCER, IT'S THE CROSS.

IT'S CAVALRY, COMMITMENT . IT'S

NOT CANCER. WHEN THE LORD IS

TALKING TO JEREMIAH, HE SAID I

TOOK YOU INTO THE DESERT. LOOK

AT ALL OF THE TIMES GOD WAS

QUIET AND HE DIDN'T ANSWER.

THAT IS WHERE TRUST COMES IN

AND YOU HAVE TO HOLD TO THAT.

YOU MUST.

Reporter: IN LATER YEARS

AFTER HIS RECOVERY , SCOTT

OFTEN TRAVELED TO ISRAEL GIVING

STORIES OF THE HOLY LAND,

FOCUSING ON BIBLICAL

ARCHAEOLOGY AND TENSIONS IN

THE MIDDLE EAST.

FROM MY WORLDVIEW, MY

CHRISTIAN VIEW, WE TAKE IT VERY

SERIOUSLY WHEN HE SAYS PAY FOR

THE PEACE -- PRAY FOR THE

PEACE OF JERUSALEM . AS YOU SIT

HERE AND LOOK AT THIS, HOW DO

YOU LOOK AT THE CITY?

Reporter: SCOTT WILL LONG

BE REMEMBERED FOR HIS

CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE 700 CLUB

AND WORLDWIDE MINISTRY OF CBN.

OUR FRIEND, SCOTT ROSS, WE

WILL MISS YOU. WE ARE PRAYING

FOR THE FAMILY. SCOTT WAS SO

PROUD TO BE MARRIED TO HIS

WIFE, WAS HE NOT?

YOU KNOW, I TRAVELED WITH

THEM SOMETIMES AND TO BE HERE

AMONGST CBN FAMILY , SUCH A

GREAT COUPLE, SUCH A GREAT

FAMILY, SO WONDERFUL TO SEE

HOW EVEN IN THIS INTERVIEW, ONE

OF THE LATER INTERVIEWS HE DID,

HOW HE HONORED GOD IN

EVERYTHING HE SAID AND DID.

I WAS SO STRUCK AND

INSPIRED. I WOULD ASK THEM

OFTEN TO CONFIRM FOR ME, SCOTT,

YOU AND YOUR WIFE EVERY DAY DO

A DEVOTIONAL AND PRAY

TOGETHER? AND HE WOULD SAY,

YES, ANDREW. EVERY DAY. THAT IS

PHENOMENAL CONSISTENCY. I

SAID, SCOTT , WHAT IF YOU'RE

FIGHTING THE NIGHT BEFORE AND

HE SAID, THAT DOESN'T MATTER.

WE WILL DO A DEVOTIONAL ANYWAY

.

THERE IS NO BETTER NAME FOR

A SHOW THEM STRAIGHT TALK

BECAUSE HE ALWAYS KNEW HOW TO

ASK THE TOUGH QUESTIONS. HE

DOVE IN AND CAME OUT WITH

SCRIPTURE.

HE LOVED TO DO INTERVIEWS.

IT WAS NOT A FORMALITY WHEN HE

ENTERED A ROOM TO MEET THE

CELEBRITY AND SO. HE WOULD JUMP

RIGHT INTO IT. HE WAS A GREAT

PREACHER. VERY CONVERSATIONAL,

JUST LIKE HIS INTERVIEWS AND HE

WILL BE MISSED. WE ARE PRAYING

FOR THE FAMILY. AND WE WILL BE

BACK WITH MORE OF THE 700 CLUB

RIGHT AFTER THIS .

TOMORROW ON THE 700 CLUB.

HIS FIRST AUDITION AND BEAT OUT

10,000 APPLICANTS TO LEAD A

SPOT ON POWER RANGERS. IT TOOK

1500 AUDITIONS TO GET A SECOND

GIG AND SINCE THEN, HE HAS SEEN

SUCCESS BEYOND HIS WILDEST

DREAMS BUT HE TOLD ASHLEY KEY

HE FELT THE DEVIL KNOCKING ON

HIS DOOR.

Reporter: MICHAEL, THANK YOU

SO MUCH FOR BEING WITH ME

TODAY. YOU ARE A FELLOW

VIRGINIA BEACH 757 NATIVE.

AUTOMATICALLY WE WERE CONNECTED

LIKE , YES, HOMETOWN PRIDE.

TELL ME ABOUT THE JOURNEY TO

ACTING. WHEN DID YOUR DREAM

REALLY START TO BECOME A

REALITY?

EVERY BIRTHDAY PARTY. I AM

GRABBING EVERY MICROPHONE. ANY

VIDEO CAMERA , I AM FILMING

PEOPLE. LIKE, HEY, I'M HERE AT

MY SISTERS BIRTHDAY. UNCLE GREG

, WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE

TODAY? ARE YOU EXCITED? I USED

TO IMITATE THE ROCK . LIKE, DO

YOU SMELL WHAT THE ROCK IS

COOKING? I WOULD DO ALL OF

THESE THINGS AND I TURNED DOWN

A FOOTBALL SCHOLARSHIP TO GO TO

LOS ANGELES. I BOOKED POWER

RANGERS EIGHT MONTHS AFTER I

GOT THERE AND IT WAS MY FIRST

AUDITION, WHICH WAS CRAZY. I

BEAT OUT 10,000 PEOPLE AND I

WAS THE BLUE POWER RANGER.

Reporter: YOU ARE ALSO IN

"ONE TREE HILL ." AND YOU ARE

AN AWARD-WINNING PRODUCER! I

HAD TO ADD THAT IN THERE.

THAT'S AMAZING. TALK ABOUT YOUR

JOURNEY NOT ONLY FROM ACTING

BUT PRODUCING.

I GOT " ONE TREE HILL ." I

HAD OVER 100 KNOWS BEFORE THAT

ONE YES. YES, I HAD MY FIRST

AUDITION, FIVE YEARS OF NO

AFTER NO. WITH CHANGING

SUCCESS CAME OTHER THINGS. THE

DEVIL WAS KNOCKING ON THE DOOR

LIKE OH, I WANT THAT LIGHT TO

BE SHINING IN MY DARKNESS, SO

THAT WAS SOMETHING I ALWAYS HAD

TO BATTLE WITH MONEY, WITH

FAME. WHEN I WAS AT THE TOP OF

MY CAREER, I AM GETTING $300

GRAND FOR THE MOVIES. ON

PLAYING THE YOUNG ROCK, MY

DREAM ROLE. I CALL MYSELF THE

PEBBLE. I'M THERE . YOU KNOW,

THERE WERE SOME THINGS IN MY

LIFE I FELT I HAD TO SHINE A

MIRROR ON AND LOOK AND SAY, YOU

KNOW, WHAT IS MY LEGACY GOING

TO BE IF I WALK THROUGH THIS

PATH? MY DAD COMMITTED SUICIDE

, MY STEPFATHER. PEOPLE WOULD

SAY THEIR FREEDOM OF SPEECH TO

ME AND I HAD TO LEARN TO COPE

WITH THAT , RIGHT? THE

RESISTANCE WAS LIKE A WEIGHT ON

MY CHEST.

Reporter: I FEEL LIKE THERE

IS ALMOST A REVIVAL IN THE

HOLLYWOOD INDUSTRY, CHRISTIANS

COMING IN AND BEING UNAFRAID TO

INFILTRATE THE DARKNESS, SO TO

SPEAK. WHAT HAS BEEN YOUR

EXPERIENCE?

WENT 2020 HAPPENED, THINGS

BECAME MORE PROMINENT. PEOPLE

SAID OH, YOU DON'T WANT TO

HURT ANYONE'S FEELINGS AND

PUSH CHRISTIANITY ON PEOPLE.

THE OTHER SIDE IS PUSHING

DEMONIC ENTITIES INTO OUR

FACE. YOU'VE GOT ARTAS THAT

ARE PROMOTING SHOES FOR THE

DEVIL . YOU'VE GOT PEOPLE THAT

ARE, YOU KNOW, SPECIFICALLY

DOING PHOTOS GLORIFYING LUCIFER

AND GLORIFYING SATAN. DON'T

JUST SAY, " I'M A BELIEVER."

DO YOU BELIEVE YOUR MOM AND

YOUR DAD ARE YOUR PARENTS? NO,

YOU KNOW. YOU KNOW THEY ARE

YOUR PARENTS. YOU SEE, THE

DEVIL BELIEVED IN JESUS. TO

KNOW JESUS IS DIFFERENT THAN

BELIEVING IN JESUS. MOVING

FORWARD TO THE NEXT GENERATION

IN THING WE NEED TO BE BOLD

AND WE NEED TO BE LUCKY TO KNOW

LIKE, HEY, I KNOW JESUS . I

KNOW WHAT MY PURPOSE IS. I KNOW

WHAT MY MUSIC REPRESENTS. I

KNOW WHAT MY MOVIES REPRESENT.

I KNOW WHAT I REPRESENT. YOU

HAVE TO MOVE WITH THAT.

Reporter: I CAN SEE THE

PASSION COMING FROM YOU. IT IS

OOZING OUT OF YOU. YOU

UNDERSTAND THE POWER OF

MOVIES, THE POWER OF TV AND I

FEEL SOMETIMES THE CHRISTIAN

COMMUNITY CAN SMEAR THEIR NOSE

IN THE INDUSTRY AND SAY IT IS

FULL OF SINNERS. TALK ABOUT THE

AMBASSADORS FOR CHRIST IN THE

ENTERTAINMENT INDUSTRY . IT IS

SUCH A POWERFUL MEDIUM.

WHO IS JESUS ? HE IS THE

KING OF KINGS . GOD GAVE US THE

ABILITY TO BE LIKE HIM AND

CREATE MEDIA . ENTERTAINMENT

IS REALLY THE COMMUNICATION OF

TODAY . WE DON'T INFILTRATE

THAT IN A POSITIVE MANNER,

AND BALANCE THAT -- THE

NEGATIVE , THE BAD SIDE WILL

KEEP GOING. THE DARKSIDE WILL

KEEP GOING. WHEN GOD

INFILTRATES THAT AND USES

MEDIA, IT IS LIKE A

DOUBLE-EDGED SWORD. WE NEED TO

BE KINGS OF OUR LAND.

Reporter: MICHAEL, WHAT IS

NEXT ON THE HORIZON FOR YOU?

WHAT KIND OF PROJECTS DO YOU

HAVE GOING ON?

I AM PUTTING TOGETHER A FIVE

MOVIE SLATE RIGHT NOW THAT IS

CALLED INSPIRATIONAL FACE

BASED MOVIES THAT WILL REALLY

INSPIRE PEOPLE, I BELIEVE. I

AM PUTTING IT TOGETHER WITH

AMAZING PEOPLE. SOME OF MY

PARTNERS ARE FROM THE UNITED

STATES . THAT IS WHAT I AM

DOING AND WE WILL CONTINUE

BUILDING WHAT WE ARE BUILDING.

I HOPE TO BE DOWN HERE IN

ATLANTA, ORLANDO, AND VIRGINIA

BEACH .

MICHAEL , THANK YOU SO MUCH

FOR BEING HERE TODAY.

THANK YOU, MICHAEL AND

ASHLEY. YOU KNOW, IT IS

INTERESTING TO HEAR HIS

JOURNEY. HE ACHIEVED THE FAME

HE WAS LOOKING FOR EARLY. AFTER

MANY YEARS OF NOT GETTING THE

TO REMEMBER NOT TO PUT OUR

IDENTITY IN WHAT WE ARE DOING

OR SEEKING BUT KEEPING THE

FOUNDATION OF GOD. MICHAEL IS

> A HEALTH SCARE SEND JAMES

AND MELANIE'S DAUGHTER TO THE

ICU . MEDICAL BILLS PILED UP IN

THIS FAMILY FELL DEEP INTO

DEBT. SOME INTEREST PAYMENTS

ALONE WERE HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS

A MONTH. JAMES CRIED OUT TO GOD

AND HERE IS HOW GOD ANSWERED.

WE WERE HITTING A SWEET

SPOT IN OUR CAREERS .

I FELT REALLY GOOD IN TERMS

OF WHAT WE WERE ABLE TO

ACCOMPLISH AS A COUPLE.

Reporter: JAMES AND MELANIE

MARRIED IN 2007 AND SPEND THE

NEXT 10 YEARS PAYING OFF THEIR

STUDENT LOAN DEBT OF $60,000

WHILE GROWING A FAMILY ,

BUILDING FINANCIAL FREEDOM, AND

OBEDIENCE .

WE TRIED TO GIVE. WE

CONTINUED TO POUR INTO OUR

CHILDREN BY SPENDING HABITS.

IT EXPANDED BEYOND OUR

NEEDS. WE WERE SHOPPING ON

AMAZON AND IT'S EASY TO CLICK

A BUTTON AND YOU NEVER SEE THE

BELL.

Reporter: JAMES AND

MELANIE'S DAUGHTER, EMILY,

BEGAN EXPERIENCING MEDICAL

PROBLEMS .

WHEN SHE WAS SICK, SHE WOULD

SPEND DAYS IN THE ICU .

SHE HAD MRIs, C.A.T. SCANS.

SHE HAD MIGRAINES AND HIGH

ANXIETY .

THE NURSE LOOKED AT ME AND

SAID, YOU KNO, SHE IS REALLY

SICK.

Reporter: IN 2013 AS THEIR

MEDICAL BILLS CONTINUED TO

STACK UP, THEIR FAMILY HOME AND

PERSONAL VEHICLES FELL INTO

DISREPAIR .

IT WAS FRUSTRATING BECAUSE

IT SEEMED TO BE ONE DAY AFTER

ANOTHER.

I WAS USING THE CREDIT CARD

TO KEEP THE BOAT AFLOAT.

Reporter: WITH THE MEDICAL

ATTENTION SHE NEEDED, EMILY WAS

GETTING HEALTHIER BUT THE

BILLS, HOME REPAIRS,

OVERSPENDING, AND CREDIT CARD

INTEREST WERE MORE THAN THE

FAMILY COULD MANAGE .

THE BILLS ARE PILING UP AND

THERE WERE SERIOUS BILLS

PROBABLY 10, $12,000. $18,000

OF CREDIT CARD DEBT AND WE

WERE PAYING $200 A MONTH IN

INTEREST. JUST INTEREST. IT

FEELS LIKE A WEIGHT . YOU

CANNOT GET OUT OF THAT CYCLE.

I KNOW HE DIDN'T PUT ME IN THAT

POSITION, BUT I CALLED GOD AND

SAID, HOW ARE WE GOING TO GET

OUT OF THIS?

Reporter: DESPITE

TEMPTATION TO USE THEIR TIDE TO

PAY OFF THEIR DEBT FASTER, THEY

REMAINED OBEDIENT.

IT WAS OUR CONTINUAL EVERY

TWO WEEKS STATEMENT. WE TRUST

YOU, GOD.

Reporter: IN 2020, A

RECRUITER OFFERED A JOB AUTHOR

WITH A $20,000 SALARY INCREASE.

I WOULD SAY, GOD, MY CURRENT

JOB IS SO SECURE , SO STABLE.

WHAT SHOULD I DO? HE SAID VERY

CLEARLY, THERE IS NO SUCH

THING AS JOB SECURITY OUTSIDE

OF ME. I WAS LIKE , OKAY, I AM

GOING TO MAKE THE JUMP. A

COUPLE MONTHS LATER I STARTED

HEARING RUMBLINGS FROM MY OLD

JOB AND THEY DECIDED TO

ELIMINATE A LOT OF

ADMINISTRATIVE POSITIONS ,

INCLUDING THE POSITION THAT I

HAD.

Reporter: JAMES AND MELANIE

WERE ABLE TO KEEP THEIR JOBS

DURING THE PANDEMIC BECAUSE OF

MELANIE'S NEW JOB AND SALARY

INCREASE. THEY PAID OFF ALL OF

THEIR DEBT WITHIN THREE MONTHS

AND CHANGED THEIR SPENDING

HABITS.

THEY PAID OFF THE MEDICAL

BILLS AND THE CREDIT CARD BILLS

AND I WAS LIKE , YES! THANK

YOU, FATHER.

IF YOU ARE FAITHFUL OF A

FEW THINGS, HE WILL HELP YOU

WITH MANY THINGS.

HE IS TRUE TO HIS WORD AND

HE WILL HONOR HIS WORD.

MANY PEOPLE CAN RELATE TO

JAMES AND MELANIE WHEN IT

COMES TO THE EASE OF CREDIT

CARDS, ESPECIALLY WHEN WE HAVE

SICK CHILDREN OR A SICK SPOUSE

AND THE MEDICAL BILLS PILE UP.

JAMES GOT MY ATTENTION WITH

ONE PARTICULAR LINE. HE SAID,

"GOD , HOW ARE WE GOING TO GET

OUT OF THIS?" INITIALLY HE WAS

SAYING, "I CAN'T GET OUT OF

THIS." THEN HE REALIZED

PARTNERING GOD WAS SO KEEP YOUR

COMA . -- "GOD , HOW ARE WE

GOING TO GET OUT OF THIS?"

MALACHI SAID THERE MAY BE FOOD

IN MY HOUSE AND TEST ME NOW IN

THIS, SAYS THE LORD. I WILL

OPEN THE WINDOWS OF HEAVEN AND

THERE WILL NOT BE ROOM TO

RECEIVE IT. JAMES AND MELANIE

FOUND THAT WHEN THEY SAID,

LORD, GIVE US WISDOM IN THE

SERMON AND IT MAY LEAD TO TOUGH

CHOICES AND PUTTING THINGS

ASIDE WE MAY NOT HAVE DONE ON

OUR OWN BUT GOD WANTS TO BE

PART OF OUR FINANCIAL PICTURE

AND WHEN WE ARE OBEDIENT, HE

BLESSES US IN RETURN. TERRY?

AND HE BLESSES OTHERS IN

OBEDIENCE AS WELL.

> ABRAHAM LIVES WITH HIS

FAMILY AND ONE OF THE MOST

REMOTE LOCATIONS ON THE PLANET,

HIGH UP IN THE MOUNTAINS OF

PERU. THEIR GREATEST NEED IS A

SOURCE OF CLEAN WATER AND

THANKS TO YOU, HIS WHOLE

VILLAGE HAS A READY SUPPLY.

Reporte: ABRAHAM HAS KNOWN

ISABEL IN THE MOUNTAINS OF

PERU MORE THAN 13,000 FEET

ABOVE SEA LEVEL. ABRAHAM IS A

BIG HELP TO HIS MOM.

I HELPED CARE FOR THE SHIP

AND THE DONKEY .

Reporter: THE BIGGEST NEED

FOR ABRAHAM AND OTHERS IN THE

COMMUNITY HAS BEEN CLEAN

WATER. FOR GENERATIONS THEY GOT

THEIR WATER FROM A POND THAT

COLLECTS RUNOFF DURING THE

RAINY SEASON AND AN OPEN PIT

SHALLOW WELL , WHICH IS MORE

CONTAMINATED THAN THE POND.

THE WATER IS VERY DIRTY.

EVEN THE COWS AND THE SHEEP GET

SICK FROM DRINKING IT.

Reporter: COLLECTING WATER

HAS BEEN A CHALLENGE TOO.

WE HAVE TO CARRY LARGE

BUCKETS ON OUR BACK. THEY ARE

VERY HEAVY AND IT TAKES THREE

HOURS EVERY TIME WE GO TO GET

THE WATER TO COLLECT IT.

Reporter: ABRAHAM SAID HE

REGULARLY GOT SICK FROM

DRINKING THE WATER.

I WOULD GET HEADACHES,

DIARRHEA, AND STOMACH ACHES . I

WOULD GET SICK FOR A WHOLE

WEEK. I FELT BAD BECAUSE THEN

MOM HAS TO DO ALL THE WORK.

Reporter: OPERATION BLESSING

CAME INTO THE COMMUNITY WITH A

PLAN. FIRST, WE DAWDLE WELL

WITH CONCRETE WALLS, THEN ADDED

PIPE AND STORAGE TANK WITH

CHLORINE TO PURIFY THE WATER.

FINALLY WE RAN LINES FROM THE

TANK .

I WAS HAPPY. I KNEW WE

WOULD BE ABLE TO HAVE WATER TO

TAKE A SHOWER.

Reporter: ABRAHAM SAID HE

WAS EXCITED TO DRINK THE WATER

WITHOUT GETTING SICK. SPEED

THAT THE WATER IS VERY CLEAN

AND COLD TO DRINK. THANK YOU,

OPERATION BLESSING , FOR

BRINGING CLEAN WATER TO OUR

HOUSE .

IT IS SO HARD TO IMAGINE THE

DEGREE OF EFFORT IT WOULD TAKE

> WHEN AN SUV WAS REAR-ENDED

BY A TRUCK, THE VEHICLE

EXPLODED. FIRST RESPONDERS AT

THE SCENE IMMEDIATELY ASSUMED

THE ACCIDENT WAS A FATALITY

UNTIL ONE OF THEM SPOTTED A

SIGN OF LIFE IN THE MIDDLE OF

THE RAGING FLAMES.

MAY 31st, 2013 , A TRUCK

DRIVING 60 MILES PER HOUR

REAR-ENDED AN SUV AT A TRAFFIC

LIGHT . FIRST RESPONDERS

ARRIVED TO FIND THE SUV

ENGULFED IN FLAMES. I REALLY

WRITE AND BELIEVED IT WAS GOING

TO BE A FATALITY. THE VICTIM

WAS A 23-YEAR-OLD CHILDREN'S

PASTOR AND PERFORMER, CODY

BURNS .

YOU COULD SEE A HAND HANGING

OUT OF THE VEHICLE. TO BE

HONEST, WE ASSUMED THERE WOULD

PROBABLY BE A BODY RECOVERY.

Reporter: AS FIREFIGHTERS

STRUGGLED TO DOUSE THE FLAMES

--

I IMMEDIATELY TURNED BACK TO

THE TRUCK AND TOLD THE CREW

HEY, HE IS STILL ALIVE . IT

TURNED INTO A RESCUE INSTEAD OF

A RECOVERY .

Reporter: NOW THEY WERE

BATTLING THE FLAMES AND THE

CLOCK. IT TOOK AN HOUR TO PULL

CODY FROM THE WRECKAGE AND PULL

HIM ONTO THE CHOPPER .

I DON'T THINK THERE WAS A

DRY EYE. THIS WAS PROBABLY THE

BRAVEST RESCUE I'VE EVER

WITNESSED IN MY CAREER.

Reporter: SHERIFF HILL WENT

TO CODY'S HOME TO INFORM HIS

PARENTS ABOUT THE ACCIDENT.

HE SAID CODY HAS BEEN IN A

BAD ACCIDENT AND HE HAS BEEN

LIFE FLIGHTED. AND SO, MY HEART

JUST SANK AT THAT MOMENT.

Reporter: JAN AND HER

HUSBAND RUSHED TO THE HOSPITAL

WHERE CODY 'S BROTHERS AND

GRANDMOTHER MET THEM . THEY

LEARNED CODY HAD SEVERE BURNS

AND NEEDED TO BE TRANSFERRED TO

A BURN CENTER IN INDIANAPOLIS

ABOUT 2 1/2 HOURS AWAY.

THEY WOULDN'T LET US SEE

CODY RIGHT AWAY. IMMEDIATELY

YOU ARE THINKING THE WORST.

Reporter: ONCE STABILIZED,

THE FAMILY WAS TAKEN TO SEE HIM

.

IT WAS DEVASTATING TO SEE

HIM THE FIRST TIME . WE PRAYED

OVER HIM AND THEY PUT HIM ON

THE LIFE FLIGHT AND THEY FLEW

HIM TO INDIANAPOLIS AT THAT

POINT.

Reporter: THE BURN CENTER

DIRECTOR, DR. SOOD, ASSESSED

THE SITUATION. CODY HAD FOURTH

DEGREE BURNS AND IN SOME

PLACES, IT GOT TO THE BONE.

WHEN PATIENTS HAVE BURNS

SUSTAIN A LUNG INJURY, THEY

HAVE THREE TIMES THE CHANCE OF

NOT MAKING IT.

Reporter: JAN AND HER

FAMILY ARRIVED AT THE HOSPITAL

TO FIND CODY DEEPLY SEDATED.

WE WERE KIND OF NUMB AND IT

WAS HARD TO TAKE IN. I FELT

LIKE I WAS HAVING A NIGHTMARE

AND I DIDN'T KNOW HOW TO PRAY .

I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT TO SAY.

Reporter: THEIR CHURCH AND

FACEBOOK FRIENDS AROUND THE

WORLD WERE PRAYING FOR CODY'S

STRENGTH AND HEALING. THE

DOCTORS WERE CONFIDENT CODY

WOULD SURVIVE, BUT THE ROAD

AHEAD WOULD BE PAINFUL AND

UNCERTAIN. IN THE COMING WEEKS,

CODY ENDURED NUMEROUS SURGERIES

TO REMOVE DEAD TISSUE AND GRAFT

ON NEW.

THE SURGERIES INVOLVED IN

BURN CARE , THEY ARE PRETTY

AWFUL. IT INVOLVES REMOVING

LAYERS OF SKIN FIRST AND THEN

FAT IS NEEDED AND MUSCLE OR

WHATEVER IS BURNED, REALLY.

THERE WERE REPEATED EPISODES OF

INFECTION.

Reporter: THERE WAS THE

CHANCE CODY WOULDN'T REGAIN

FULL USE OF HIS LIMBS. WHILE

GRATEFUL HER SON WOULD LIVE,

JAN FEARED FOR HIS FUTURE AND

MINISTRY.

HE ALWAYS AT AN EARLY AGE

HAD A DRIVE AND A VISION TO

SERVE GOD AND THAT CONTINUED TO

GROW AS HE GOT OLDER.

Reporter: THAT WASN'T ALL HE

COULD LOSE.

SHE TOLD ME THEY WOULD HAVE

TO AMPUTATE THREE OF HIS FINGER

AND I'M LIKE, YOU CAN'T. HE

JUGGLES. YOU CAN'T DO THAT. I

FELT LIKE I WAS IN A DREAM BUT

I ALSO FELT PEACE AND I KNOW

THAT WAS FROM OTHERS PRAYING.

Reporter: THROUGH THOSE

PRAYERS AND THROUGH THE SKILL

OF HIS DOCTORS, CODY LOST NONE

OF HIS FINGERS AND BEGAN

IMPROVING EVERY DAY. AFTER FOUR

WEEKS, HE WAS BREATHING ON HIS

OWN WITH NO PERMANENT DAMAGE TO

HIS LUNGS BUT AS HE CAME OUT

OF SEDATION, CODY STRUGGLED TO

FACE HIS NEW REALITY.

WHEN THEY UNWRAPPED MY

HANDS, I WAS DEVASTATED BECAUSE

I COULD SEE MY BONES , PARTS

WHERE THE FLASH HAD BEEN BURNED

OFF. IT TOOK A LONG TIME TO

BOARD -- BEFORE I REALLY

FULLY UNDERSTOOD THE EXTENT OF

MY INJURIES. MY HEART WAS BROKE

BECAUSE I KNEW I PROBABLY

WOULDN'T EVER BE ABLE TO DO THE

THINGS I WAS ONCE ABLE AND

LOVED IT TO DO.

Reporter: OVER THE NEXT FEW

MONTHS, CODY ENTERED SEVERAL

MORE SURGERIES AND PHYSICAL

THERAPY.

GOD IT DIDN'T DO THIS TO ME

BUT HE ALLOWED IT TO HAPPEN

BECAUSE HE KNEW HE COULD TRUST

ME. HE KNEW I COULD TAKE THIS

TRAGEDY AND TURN IT AROUND AND

MAKE IT SOMETHING BEAUTIFUL BUT

IT IS ONLY WITH HIS STRENGTH

AND WITH HIM GUIDING AND

HELPING ME.

Reporter: CODY IS BACK

BRIGHTENING THE LIVES OF OTHERS

AS A PERFORMER AND MOTIVATIONAL

SPEAKER.

HE SAID HEY, I'M GOING TO

GET BACK TO THE MINISTRY AND

JUGGLING AND SPREADING THE WORD

WITH A DIFFERENT SORT OF

MESSAGE THAT WAS MORE

POWERFULLY DELIVERED IN HIS

CASE AFTER HIS INJURY .

HE WAS OFF THE CHARTS ON HIS

JUGGLING BEFORE. TO SEE HIM

DOING SO MUCH MORE IS

MEANINGFUL BECAUSE I KNOW WHAT

HE WENT THROUGH. TO SEE HIM

RAISE HIS HANDS NOW AND GIVE

GOD GLORY, IT'S JUST

OVERWHELMING. I AM JUST SO

THANKFUL.

JESUS LETS US KNOW THAT, YOU

KNOW, IF YOU HAVE TROUBLE,

TAKE HEART . HE HAS OVERCOME

THE WORLD. HE IS MY ROCK, MY

STRENGTH, MY HOPE . HE IS THE

REASON I EXIST AND CONTINUE TO

MOVE FORWARD .

THERE IS A REFINING IN THE

PROCESS OF PAIN. WITH JOB AND

AFTER ALL HE WENT THROUGH, HE

SAID YOU KNOW, I'VE HEARD OF

YOU BUT NOW I'VE SEEN YOU.

DON'T RUN FROM THE THINGS THAT

HAPPEN TO US BECAUSE WE LIVE

IN A SINFUL WORLD BUT RUN TO

THE CREATOR, THE ROCK THAT CAN

TAKE IT AND MAKE IT MATTER IN

YOUR LIFE. WE WANT TO PRAY FOR

YOU . PRAYER MADE SUCH A

DIFFERENCE IN CODY'S RECOVERY

AND FOR THE LIFE OF HIS FAMILY

AS WELL . WE WANT TO PRAY FOR

YOU TODAY. LET ME SHARE ANOTHER

ANSWER TO PRAYER BEFORE WE

PRAY. VALERIE LIVES IN DETROIT,

MICHIGAN . SHE SUFFERED BAD

HEADACHES FOR TWO YEARS AND

SHE THOUGHT IT WAS RELATED TO A

MEDICINE SHE STARTED TAKING .

IT WAS ESPECIALLY HARD TO DEAL

WITH THE PAIN IN THE MORNINGS.

ONE MORNING VALERIE WAS

WATCHING THIS PROGRAM AND IT

WAS DURING THE PORTION WHERE WE

WERE PRAYING . IT WAS ONE OF

THE FIRST MORNINGS ANDREW WAS

HERE AND HE NOTICED SOMEONE

WAS EXPERIENCING HAD WAKES --

HEADACHES. VALERIE SAID I

QUIETLY PRAYED WITH YOU AND GOD

COMPLETELY HEALED HER. SHE

SAYS, PRAISE THE LORD.

SHE SAYS SHE QUIETLY PRAYED

AND THAT'S GREAT TOO. TERRY,

A MAN IN GEORGIA WAS WATCHING

THE 700 CLUB ON JUNE 3rd AND

TERRY WAS PRAYING AND GOD SAID

HE WAS HEALING SOMEONE WITH

ACID REFLUX. THE MAN SAID HE

HAD COMPLETE HEALING IN THE

BODY. NOT ONLY DID HE HEAL THE

MIGRAINE ISSUES BUT OVER THE

USE OF MARIJUANA. NOW TERRY

AND I WANT TO PRAY FOR YOU.

FATHER GOD, WE COME BEFORE YOU

IN THE NAME OF YOUR SON, JESUS.

YOU KNOW THE NEEDS OF THE

AUDIENCE AND WHETHER THEY HEAR

A WORD TODAY OR NOT, LORD GOD,

WE PRAY YOUR HOLY SPIRIT MOVES

THROUGH WITH GREAT LOVE AND

ACTIVITY AND HEALING POWER, IN

THE NAME OF JESUS . SOMEONE HAS

A SIGNIFICANT UTI, URINARY

TRACT INFECTION CAUSING YOU

GREAT PAIN AND THERE SEEMS TO

BE NO REMEDY . IN JESUS NAME,

YOUR BEING HEALED WITH THAT

RIGHT NOW.

SOMEONE HAS A SKIN

CONDITION. I DON'T EVEN KNOW

WHAT THE NAME OF IT IS BUT IT

LEAVES YOUR SKIN LUMPY AND

SCARRED. THIS IS A MAN AND YOU

HAVE TRIED TO GROW A BEARD TO

COVER IT UP BUT IT DOESN'T DO

WHAT YOU HOPE IT WILL. GOD'S

HEALING THAT CONDITION RIGHT

NOW. IF YOU HAVE STRUGGLED FOR

YEARS , TODAY IS THE DAY. LIFT

UP YOUR HANDS AND THANK THE

LORD IS THAT DISAPPEARS FOR

YOU, IN JESUS NAME .

I JUST HEARD SO CLEARLY A

SKIN CONDITION THAT IS FLAKY

AND BRITTLE AND COMES OFF

EASILY AND THE LORD IS HEALING

THAT FOR YOU NOW, IN JESUS

NAME. THIS IS NOT A MEDICAL

CONDITION BUT YOU HAVE BEGUN

FOSTERING CHILDREN AND YOU ARE

SO OVERWHELMED. YOU ARE

FRIGHTENED AND YOU FEEL YOU'VE

MADE A TERRIBLE MISTAKE AND

YOU'RE NOT EQUIPPED WITH THE

FATHER SEES YOU AND HE WANTS TO

PUT FORTH HIS LOVE UPON YOU

AND HE IS PROUD OF YOU. THIS IS

HIS PLAN. REST IN HIS LOVE. HE

IS EQUIPPING YOU, IN JESUS NAME

.

SO OFTEN WE SEE THINGS LIKE

THAT THAT SEEM SO BIG AND WE

FEEL WE CANNOT MANAGE . WE ARE

SUPPOSED TO RUN TO THE FATHER

AND LET HIM EQUIP US. DO THAT,

GOD. GOD NEVER CALLS US TO

ANYTHING HE CANNOT EQUIP US

FOR. SOMEONE ELSE, YOU HAVE

ACID REFLUX. YOU HAVE IT IN A

WAY THAT IS LIFE INTERRUPTING

FOR YOU AND GOD IS STOPPING

THAT RIGHT NOW IN JESUS NAME.

ALL OF THE SWALLOWING THAT HAS

BECOME DIFFICULT AND THE SCAR

TISSUE, JUST GONE IN JESUS NAME

.

THE HOLY SPIRIT WANTS TO

PROCLAIM AND ANNOUNCE THE

GOODNESS OF GOD THAT TOO OFTEN

WE ARE LOOKING AT OURSELVES AND

OUR CIRCUMSTANCES. LOOK TO THE

FATHER. LOOK TO THE FATHER.

HIS LOVE IS NEVER ENDING. IN

JESUS NAME, WE PRAY . CALL US

TO REPORT A MIRACLE,

1-800-700-7000 , OR IF YOU LEAD

-- NEED PRAYER. LET US COME

BOLDLY AND LET US OBTAIN MERCY
