OH, WELCOME TO THE 700 CLUB.

HUNTER BIDEN IS FACING A LEGAL

BATTLE THE MIDST OF A

PRESIDENTIAL CAMPAIGN.

THE PRESIDENT'S SON HAS BEEN

INDICTED FOR LYING ABOUT HIS

DRUG USE WHEN HE BOUGHT GUN

BACK IN 2018.

STILL, REPUBLICANS RAISING

QUESTIONS ABOUT THE SPECIAL

COUNSEL IN THIS CASE AND.

THEY ARGUE THERE ARE MORE

SERIOUS QUESTIONS ABOUT THE

BIDEN FAMILY BUSINESS DEALINGS.

JENNA BROWDER BRINGS US THE

STORY FROM WASHINGTON.

REACTION IS POURING IN ABOUT

THE HUNTER BIDEN INDICTMENT AND

NOW HIS OWN ATTORNEY IS

SPEAKING OUT TOO SAYING THESE

NEW GUN ALLEGATIONS WON'T HOLD

UP IN COURT.

HUNTER OWNED AN UNLOADED GUN

FOR 11 DAYS.

THERE WILL NEVER HAVE A CHARGE

LIKE THIS BROUGHT IN THE UNITED

STATES.

IF CONVICTED, THE PRESIDENT

COULD FACE UP TO 25 YEARS IN

PRISON THOUGH IT'S UNLIKELY

HE'S ACCUSED OF LYING ABOUT HIS

DRUG USE ON AN APPLICATION TO

BUY A GUN 2018.

THE INDICTMENT COMES AFTER THE

COLLAPSE OF A PLEA DEAL HUNTER

BIDEN STRUCK WITH PROSECUTOR

DAVID WEISS WHO'S SINCE BEEN

APPOINTED SPECIAL COUNSEL IN

THE CASE.

ON CAPITOL HILL IT WILL BE THE

FIRST OF MANY INDICTMENTS.

I IMAGINE FOR HUNTER YEAH,

IT'S THE WEAKEST ONE THAT SHOWS

THAT THE DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE

IS DOING ITS JOB AND IS TAKING

IT SERIOUSLY AND THEY

DETERMINED THESE ARE THE

CHARGES THAT THEY CAN PROVE.

LET'S BE VERY CLEAR IF WE WERE

IN THE MAJORITY NOBODY WOULD BE

KNOWING ANYTHING ABOUT ANY OF

THIS STUFF AND THE DEPARTMENT

OF JUSTICE WAS GOING TO COVER

IT UP LIKE THEY'VE BEEN THE

LAST SEVERAL YEARS.

CBS NEWS CHIEF POLITICAL

ANALYST DAVID SAYS THERE ARE

SERIOUS QUESTIONS ABOUT SPECIAL

COUNSEL WEISS.

DAVID WEISS CLEARLY THE

SPECIAL PROSECUTOR IS

COMPROMISED.

I MEAN HE WAS THE GUY

ORIGINALLY STRUCK THE PLEA DEAL

WITH BIDEN'S LAWYERS TO

BASICALLY GIVE HUNTER BIDEN A

SWEETHEART DEAL FOR NO JAIL

TIME AND THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN A

COUPLE OF MONTHS LATER IT'S

LIKE WELL, YOU KNOW WHAT?

THEY WILL ACTUALLY PUT HIM

IN JAIL.

BRODY SAYS WEISS HAD TO SAVE

FACE.

HE WAS UNDER PRESSURE TO DO

SOMETHING AFTER THAT PLEA DEAL

FELL APART.

AND THIS IS THE SOMETHING WHAT

WE SAW WEEK.

AND CRITICS POINT OUT THAT

WEISS IS INDICTMENT IS THE ONLY

BIDEN CASE WHERE JOE BIDEN

WASN'T INVOLVED.

POLLING SHOWS THE PUBLIC HAS

QUESTIONS ABOUT THE FAIRNESS OF

THE INVESTIGATION TO.

ABOUT HALF OF AMERICANS SAY

THEY HAVE LITTLE OR NO

CONFIDENCE THE JUSTICE IS

HANDLING ITS INVESTIGATION INTO

HUNTER BIDEN IN A FAIR AND

NONPARTISAN WAY ACCORDING TO A

POLL BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

AND OPINION RESEARCH CENTER.

61% BELIEVE JOE BIDEN WAS

INVOLVED IN HUNTER BIDEN'S

BUSINESS DEALINGS.

HE WAS VICE PRESIDENT AND THAT

COULD BE THE BIGGER CASE HERE.

CRITICS THIS INDICTMENT COULD

BE THE SHINY OBJECT TO DISTRACT

FROM MORE ALLEGATIONS INVOLVING

BIDEN FAMILY BUSINESS DEALINGS

.

THAT'S WHAT HOUSE REPUBLICANS

ARE INVESTIGATING IN THEIR

IMPEACHMENT INQUIRY.

AS WE LOOK TO THE 2024 RACE FOR

THE WHITE HOUSE, BRODY SAYS ALL

WEIGHING ON THE BIDEN CAMPAIGN.

WHILE THE DRAMA IS STARTING

LOUDER AND LOUDER FOR JOE BIDEN

TO EXIT THE RACE, WE KNOW

PRIVATELY DEMOCRATS WELL, TOP

DEMOCRATS REALLY WANT HIM TO

RUN.

THEY WON'T SAY PUBLICLY BUT

THEY'LL SAY IT PRIVATELY.

THE NEW NEW YORK TIMES HAS

REPORTED ON THIS AS OF NOW

PRESIDENT BIDEN AND THE WHITE

HOUSE HAVE NOT COMMENTED ON THE

HUNTER BIDEN INDICTMENT.

THE BROADER CBS NEWS WELL

UNDERLYING ALL OF THIS WE NEED

TO KEEP IN MIND THAT THE LAPTOP

WHICH SOMEHOW DID NOT BECOME AN

ISSUE IN THE CAMPAIGN IN 2020

THERE SEEMED TO BE A

COORDINATED EFFORT BETWEEN THE

BIDEN CAMPAIGN AND

NEWS AGENCIES TO SUPPRESS ANY

INFORMATION ABOUT IT ALONG WITH

IT.

YOU COULDN'T MAKE ANY POSTS

ABOUT IT AND SOCIAL MEDIA THOSE

WERE ALL SHUT DOWN.

AND THE CURIOUS I JUST FIND

UNBELIEVABLE THAT FBI ATTORNEYS

WERE ACTIVELY ADVISING SOCIAL

COMPANIES ON WHAT TO DO AND HOW

TO DEAL WITH THOSE REPORTS.

I FIND THAT TRULY INCREDIBLE A

DEMOCRACY WITH FREEDOM OF THE

PRESS AND FREEDOM OF SPEECH

THAT THERE COULD EVER BE THIS

KIND OF COORDINATED EFFORT TO

MANIPULATE THE NEWS BUT THAT

CLEARLY AND THEN WE CLEARLY

HAVE EVIDENCE THAT HAD HAPPENED

AND NOW IS THERE MORE ON THAT

LAPTOP REGARDING CHINESE DEALS

FROM THE FAMOUS TRIP OF HUNTER

AND BIDEN ALONG WITH JOHN KERRY

AND JOHN KERRY'S SON FROM FROM

HIS MARRIAGE.

ALL OF THAT CHINA AND THEN

MILLIONS OF DOLLARS BEING

INVESTED IN HUNTER BIDEN

ENTERPRISES THAT IS IS AN

UNTOLD STORY AND I ASSUME

THAT'S GOING TO BE PART OF THE

INVESTIGATION BY THE CONGRESS.

GET READY HUNTER BIDEN IS NOW

FOR PRESIDENT.

IT'S GOING TO BE ALL ABOUT HIM

,NOT ABOUT HIS FATHER.

IN OTHER NEWS, A NEW BILL IN

CONGRESS IS AIMED AT STOPPING

THE EXPLOITATION OF MIGRANT

CHILDREN.

JOHN JESSUP HAS THAT STORY FROM

OUR CBN NEWS BUREAU IN

WASHINGTON.

THANK YOU, GORDON.

THE MEASURE IS DESIGNED KEEP

THE MOST VULNERABLE SAFE WHEN

THEY CROSS INTO THE UNITED

STATES.

THE ASKS THE BIDEN

ADMINISTRATION TO LOCATE MORE

THAN 80,000 UNACCOMPANIED

MIGRANT CHILDREN.

IT HAS LOST CONTACT WITH HERE

IN THE COUNTRY TO PROTECT THEM

FROM HUMAN TRAFFICKING AND

ABUSE.

CBN'S HILARY POWELL BRINGS US

THE STORY GROWING ISSUE THAT

DEPRIVES CHILDREN OF THEIR

BASIC HUMAN RIGHTS.

AT THIS VERY MOMENT THERE

CHILDREN AS YOUNG AS 11 YEARS

OLD IN THE UNITED STATES AND

ABROAD WHO ARE FORCED TO COMMIT

COMMERCIAL SEX ACTS AND OTHER

UNSPEAKABLE ACTS.

NEW JERSEY CONGRESSMAN CHRIS

SMITH IS CONCERNED THAT SOME OF

THOSE CHILDREN NOT BORN IN THE

U.S. ARE LEFT OUT OF THE

EXPLOITATION CONVERSATION IN

SOME IF NOT MANY OF THESE

CHILDREN ARE BEING FORCED INTO

TRAFFICKING SITUATIONS FOR

EITHER SEX OR LABOR OR BOTH.

THAT'S WHY HE JUST

INTRODUCED THE SECURE ACT BILL

THAT WILL REQUIRE BIDEN

ADMINISTRATION TO LOCATE 85,000

UNACCOMPANIED MIGRANT CHILDREN

THAT ARE ALSO UNACCOUNTED FOR

IN THE UNITED STATES.

GIVEN THE SERIOUS NATURE OF

THE SITUATION, REPRESENTATIVE

WANTS FBI INVOLVEMENT UNDER THE

PROPOSED SECURE ACT 2023.

THE FBI AND HOMELAND SECURITY

SECRETARY WOULD WORK TOGETHER

TO REPORT TO CONGRESS ON EVERY

UNACCOMPANIED MINOR CARED FOR

BY THE OFFICE OF REFUGEE

RESETTLEMENT SINCE JANUARY

2021.

THAT'S AT LEAST 345,000 YOUNG

PEOPLE.

THE SEEKS TO PENALIZE THE

FEDERAL DEPARTMENTS INCLUDING

HOMELAND SECURITY AND THE FBI

$100,000 FOR EACH DAY THE

REQUIRED STATUS REPORT MISSES

ITS DEADLINE.

UP TO $10 MILLION ANNUALLY

UNTIL AGENCIES ADEQUATELY

ACCOUNT FOR THE MISSING

CHILDREN.

SMITH IS LEADING CONGRESSIONAL

HEARINGS THIS WEEK WHERE TEN

BALLOT A HERO DEPICTED IN THE

MOVIE SOUND OF FREEDOM

TESTIFIES AT A PRESS EVENT HE

SPOKE TO WHY CITIZENSHIP ISN'T

MOST IMPORTANT.

WHAT DOES THAT UNACCOMPANIED

CHILD WHO'S BEEN ABANDONED

WHO'S ALL ALONE?

WHAT DOES THAT CHILD DESERVE

THAT THAT CHILD DESERVES TO BE

PROTECTED?

SMITH SAYS HOPES THE HEARING

WILL PUT MORE PRESSURE ON THE

WHITE HOUSE.

YOU KNOW, YOU'VE GOT TO PUT

PARTIZANSHIP ASIDE AND SAY THIS

IS ALL

THIS IS ALL ABOUT THEM BEING

EXPLOITED IN THE MOST CRUEL WAY

IMAGINABLE.

SEX TRAFFICKING SURVIVOR

JOSE LUIS ALFARO TESTIFIED THIS

WEEK THAT MORE SAFETY OFFICIALS

NEED TO BE TRAINED TO TREAT ALL

VICTIMS WITH EMPATHY.

HUMAN TRAFFICKING NOT A

GENDER BASED ISSUE BUT A HUMAN

ISSUE.

WE HAVE TO IDENTIFY

VULNERABILITIES AND INTERVENE

TO SUPPORT ALL CHILDREN NO

MATTER THEIR THEIR RACE OR

THEIR SEXUALITY.

IN WASHINGTON, HILLARY CBN

NEWS.

THANK YOU HILLARY.

TURNING OVERSEAS THE DEATH TOLL

FROM THAT DEVASTATING

EARTHQUAKE IN MOROCCO STANDS AT

JUST UNDER 3000.

AND WITH ALL THE DAMAGE, MANY

REMOTE AREAS ARE EXTREMELY

DIFFICULT TO REACH.

BUT AS CHRIS MITCHELL REPORTS,

CBN'S OPERATION BLESSING MADE A

PERILOUS JOURNEY TO HELP THOSE

IN NEED.

MANY OF THE ROADS TO REMOTE

VILLAGES IN THE MOUNTAINS OF

MOROCCO HAVE BEEN IMPASSABLE

FOR DAYS.

THE OPERATION BLESSING TEAM

CONVOY HAD TO STOP AT TIMES SO

MACHINERY COULD CLEAR THE ROADS

WITH THE DANGER OF ROCKSLIDES

AT ANY MOMENT.

AS WE DREW CLOSER TO THE

EPICENTER, WE WITNESSED

INCREASING DESTRUCTION AND

THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE LIVING IN

TENTS ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD.

WHEN WE GOT TO THE VILLAGE

ITSELF SAW A BIRD'S EYE VIEW OF

THE EXTENT OF THE DESTRUCTION.

AFTER FIVE HOUR RIDE, ONE

FLAT TIRE AND SEVERAL STOPS

ALONG THE WAY BECAUSE OF

ROCKSLIDES.

OPERATION BLESSING TEAM MADE IT

HERE TO THIS REMOTE VILLAGE ON

THE THOUSANDS OF BUILDINGS THAT

WERE DESTROYED OR DAMAGED BY

THE EARTHQUAKE.

YOU CAN DESTRUCTIVE.

IT REALLY WAS.

THIS ONE IS PERSONAL BECAUSE

THE BROTHER OF ONE OF THE

OPERATION BLESSING VOLUNTEERS

DIED IN THIS PLACE.

RICHARD LOOK TO THE HOUSE

WHERE HIS BROTHER HAD DIED.

THIS IS THE PLACE WHERE HE

DIED AND WE'RE REALLY

HEARTBROKEN.

THE ONLY THING HE LEFT IS HIS

SANDAL.

THE PEOPLE HERE DON'T HAVE

ANYTHING.

EVERYTHING WAS DESTROYED.

SO YOU SEE THE PEOPLE GATHERING

AND HELPING EACH OTHER IN THESE

VILLAGES.

NOT ONLY MY BROTHER BUT MANY

OTHERS DIED TOO.

IN ALL, 47 PEOPLE IN THE

VILLAGE DIED INCLUDING A

PREGNANT WOMAN.

THIS IS WHAT GOD PUTS IN OUR

HEART JUST TO GO AND HELP THESE

PEOPLE.

AND THEN WE WERE LIKE PROBABLY

AMBASSADOR DAVID FRIEDMAN

TAKES US ON A JOURNEY THROUGH

HEARTLAND OF JUDEA AND SAMARIA

IN A NEW MOVIE.

THE FILM EXPLORES THE RICH

BIBLICAL HERITAGE OF THE THE

ROAD KNOWN AS THE WAY OF THE

PATRIARCHS.

GARY LANE WITH THE AMBASSADOR

ABOUT THE MOVIE AND HERE'S THAT

INTERVIEW AND A PREVIEW OF THE

FILM.

IN THE FILM 60 THE BIBLICAL

HIGHWAY FORMER U.S. AMBASSADOR

TO DAVID FRIEDMAN AND FORMER

SECRETARY OF STATE MIKE POMPEO

TRACE THIS HIGHWAY THAT BISECTS

THE LAND OF ISRAEL.

THE 146 MILE ROAD CONNECTS

MODERN AND ANCIENT ISRAEL FROM

NAZARETH WHERE JESUS GREW UP TO

BEERSHEBA.

ABRAHAM LIVED AND NOW IS HOME

TO ONE OF ISRAEL'S HIGH TECH.

THIS IS A PLACE WHERE YOU

REALLY CAN THINK ABOUT THE

CONTINUUM OF LIFE.

THE DOCUMENTARY EXPLORES THE

RICH 4000 YEAR OLD BIBLICAL

HISTORY ALONG THIS HIGHWAY THAT

HOLDS BOTH HISTORICAL AND

SPIRITUAL SIGNIFICANCE TO BIBLE

BELIEVERS AROUND THE WORLD.

WE KNOW HIM AS JESUS OF

NAZARETH RIGHT THIS WHERE HE

BEGAN MUCH OF HIS WORK, MUCH OF

HIS LIFE.

IT ALSO HAS BEEN THE SCENE

OF UNREST, VIOLENCE AND UNDER

SCRUTINY OF WORLD.

FRIEDMAN AND POMPEO BRING A

UNIQUE PERSPECTIVE TO THE MOVIE

COMBINING THEIR JEWISH AND

CHRISTIAN FAITHS ALONG WITH

THEIR EXPERIENCES THAT DIRECTLY

AFFECTED THIS LAND AS MEMBERS

OF THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION.

DAVID FRIEDMAN, THE FORMER

U.S. AMBASSADOR TO ISRAEL,

JOINS US FOR MORE ON THIS

FASCINATING FILM.

AMBASSADOR FRIEDMAN, ROUTE 60

GOES RIGHT THROUGH WHAT THE

WORLD CALLS THE WEST BANK BUT

IT'S REALLY BIBLICAL JUDEA AND

SAMARIA.

EXPLAIN TO US HOW THE JEWISH

FAITH IS SO CONNECTED TO THE

LAND OF ISRAEL.

WELL, GARY, GOOD WITH YOU.

THE JEWISH FAITH IS IS PART AND

PARCEL REALLY OF THE LAND OF

ISRAEL.

I MEAN THE COVENANTS THAT MADE

BY GOD TO ABRAHAM, ISAAC, JACOB

,THE PROPHETS I MEAN THESE

COVENANTS ALL REALLY TIED TO

IT'S GOD'S PROMISE NOT JUST

THAT THE JEWISH PEOPLE WILL

FLOURISH AND BECOME A GREAT

NATION BUT THEY'LL BECOME A

GREAT NATION SPECIFICALLY IN

THIS PART OF THE IN THIS

TERRITORY AND YOU KNOW, FOR

THOUSANDS OF YEARS THAT WAS THE

COVENANT THAT YOU KNOW, WAS WAS

PRAYED FOR.

BUT BUT UNREALIZED.

OF COURSE JEWS HAVE BEEN LIVING

THERE FOR THOUSANDS OF YEARS

BUT NORMALLY AS GUESTS OF

ANOTHER NATION NORMALLY USUALLY

A HOSTILE NATION HERE IN 1948

THE JEWISH PEOPLE RETURN TO

THEIR LAND THEN AND GAIN

SOVEREIGNTY OVER IT.

BUT AND THIS IS WHAT THE POINT

OF THE MOVIE IS THE THE REAL

BIBLICAL HEARTLAND OF ISRAEL

AND THE REAL BIBLICAL TERROR

TERRITORY THAT WE ALL KNOW AND

WE READ ABOUT AS KIDS AND THE

STORIES WE KNOW AND THAT WE

CONTINUE TO STUDY THAT BIBLICAL

HEARTLAND IS STILL AN AREA

WHICH IN AN AREA WHERE PEOPLE

DON'T GO TO VISIT VERY WHEREAS

MOST OF THE WORLD THINKS THAT

JEWS HAVE NO RIGHT TO BE THERE

THEY REFER TO IT AS YOU SAY AS

THE WEST BANK SOME NONDESCRIPT

STRIP OF LAND THAT PEOPLE, YOU

KNOW THINK ABOUT BUNCH OF

PEOPLE JUST FIGHTING OVER AS A

REAL ESTATE DISPUTE AND NO ONE

REALIZES JUST HOW INCREDIBLY

IMPORTANT AND SACRED, SPIRITUAL

AND DEEPLY CONNECTED THIS

TERRITORY THIS LAND IS TO THE

JEWISH FAITH AND THE CHRISTIAN

FAITH.

AND WHAT MIKE POMPEO AND I DO

IS WE GO FROM PLACE TO PLACE

FROM PLACES LIKE YOU KNOW

SHILOH BETHEL, JERUSALEM, THE

BETHLEHEM THE TOMB OF RACHEL

HEBRON THESE PLACES THAT ARE

REALLY NEGLECTED, YOU KNOW,

BECAUSE THE POLITICAL DISPUTES.

AND WE BRING THEM BRING BRING

THEM TO A

THE GOAL REALLY IS TO IS TO

HELP PEOPLE, YOU KNOW,

UNDERSTAND THAT BIBLICAL ISRAEL

SOMETHING WE NEED TO CARE

ABOUT.

WE NEED TO FIGHT FOR IT.

WE NEED TO MAKE SURE THAT THESE

HOLY SITES ARE ALWAYS EXCESSIVE

OF PEOPLE OF THE JEWISH FAITH

AND THE CHRISTIAN FAITH AND AND

YOU KNOW, THESE ARE WHERE THE

VALUES THAT MADE AMERICA GREAT

THAT MADE ISRAEL A GREAT

NATION.

THESE WERE THE VALUES WERE BORN

AND WE CAN'T SIGHT OF THEM.

WE CAN'T GROW UNTETHERED FROM

THEM.

WE HAVE TO REMAIN CONNECTED AND

THE ONLY WAY TO REALLY BE

CONNECTED IS TO BE CONNECTED TO

THE LAND THAT IT'S THAT.

WELL, YOU'RE THE SON OF A

RABBI, AN OBSERVANT JEW.

TELL US WHAT IT MEANT TO YOU.

HOW DID IT FEEL TO BE WALKING

IN THE FOOTSTEPS OF THE

PATRIARCHS ABRAHAM, ISAAC AND

JACOB?

IT'S INCREDIBLY POWERFUL, YOU

KNOW?

LOOK, I'VE STUDIED THE BIBLE MY

WHOLE LIFE.

I GREW UP IN A HOME WHERE WE

STUDY THE BIBLE AND I RECOMMEND

THAT PEOPLE STUDY THE BIBLE AND

THAT READ THE BIBLE.

BUT THERE'S NOTHING LIKE LIVING

BIBLE.

THERE'S NOTHING LIKE BEING

THERE THE OPPORTUNITY TO TO

WALK THE SAME PATH THAT THAT

OUR FOREFATHERS WALKED THAT TO

BE IN THE SAME PLACES WHERE SO

MANY OF THE GREAT BIBLICAL THAT

REALLY HAVE SHAPED OUR LIVES

AND SHAPED OUR VALUES THEY TOOK

PLACE THERE'S NOTHING LIKE IT.

I MEAN EVEN IF YOU GO THERE

ONCE EVEN IF YOU JUST WATCH IT

ON WATCH OUR FILM YOU KNOW IT,

IT IS A DEEPLY EMPOWERING,

EMPOWERING EXPERIENCE AND I

THINK IT WAS TRUE FOR MIKE AS

WELL.

I THINK KNOW PEOPLE OF THE

CHRISTIAN FAITH TO TO WALK THE

ROAD THAT WHERE IT'S 100% 100%

PROBABILITY THAT JESUS WALKED

THIS ROAD ON HIS PILGRIMAGE TO

THE TEMPLE OR WHERE JESUS STOOD

YOU KNOW AT THE GARDEN OF GOT

FAMILY I MEAN ARE PLACES THAT

I'M NOT OF THE CHRISTIAN BUT

YOU KNOW, I AM FAITHFUL AND I

UNDERSTAND HOW IMPORTANT IT IS

TO BE IN THESE PLACES.

WELL IT'S PART OF THE JUDEO

CHRISTIAN HERITAGE.

AND WHAT IMPACT DO YOU HOPE

THIS FILM WILL HAVE ON THE WIDE

DISCUSSION ABOUT JUDEA AND

SAMARIA?

WHY DOES HOPE PEOPLE STOP

TALKING ABOUT THIS IS THE WEST

BANK AS IF IT'S SOME

NONDESCRIPT TERRITORY THAT YOU

KNOW, SORT OF BE, YOU KNOW,

BROKEN UP OR, SPLIT UP OR

HANDED OVER TO THE ENEMIES OF

OF THE JEWISH PEOPLE OR TO

PEOPLE TO PEOPLE WHO HAVE

DEMONSTRABLY TO PRESERVE THESE

PLACES FOR THE JEWISH AND

CHRISTIAN FAITHS.

I WANT PEOPLE JUST TO CARE

ABOUT THIS.

I MEAN THIS IS NOT A POLITICAL

FILM WE DON'T OFFER SOLUTIONS

TO ANY OF THE POLITICAL

DISPUTES.

BUT WHAT WE DO IS WE MAKE SURE

PEOPLE UNDERSTAND JUST HOW

BIBLICALLY SIGNIFICANT

HISTORICALLY SIGNIFICANT THESE

PLACES ARE AND IF PEOPLE WATCH

THIS FILM AND THEY WALK AWAY

CARING ABOUT IT BEING, INSPIRED

BY IT AND CARING ABOUT THIS

PART OF THE WORLD, CARING

ENOUGH ABOUT IT THAT THEY WANT

THEIR CHILDREN AND THEIR

GRANDCHILDREN AND THEIR PROGENY

ALWAYS BE ABLE TO ACCESS IT AND

TO AND TO GAIN FROM AND TO BE

INTO AND TO STRENGTHEN THEIR

FAITH IF CARE THAT THAT'S OUR

GOAL.

AMBASSADOR DAVID FRIEDMAN,

THANK YOU FOR JOINING US.

WELL, THANK YOU SO MUCH.

IT WAS A PLEASURE.

APPRECIATE IT.

WELL, IF YOU WANT TO

UNDERSTAND THE HEADLINES TODAY

AND UNDERSTAND THEM FROM A

BIBLICAL POINT OF VIEW, WHAT

EXACTLY IS MEANT BY THE WEST

BANK, WHAT EXACTLY IS MEANT BY

EAST JERUSALEM?

AND WHEN YOU GO UNDERNEATH THAT

AND SAY WELL, THE WEST BANK

MEANS THE WEST BANK MEANS THE

TOMB OF THE, THE PATRIARCHS,

ALL OF THESE THINGS THIS IS THE

ROAD THAT JESUS FROM GALILEE TO

JERUSALEM.

THESE ARE INCREDIBLE

BIBLICAL SITES AND TO SAY THAT

SOMEHOW NOT PART OF THE NATION

OF ISRAEL WHERE YOU'RE GOING

AGAINST BIBLICAL WHEN YOU HEAR

THE PHRASE EAST JERUSALEM

REALIZED THAT MEANS THE TEMPLE

MOUNT THAT MEANS THE WESTERN

WALL THAT CAN NEVER BE

SEPARATED FROM THE JEWISH

PEOPLE.

SO GET INFORMED AND EDUCATED

AND OUR DEAR FRIENDS AT TBN

HIGHWAY AND IT WILL BE

AND GET EDUCATED ON ROUTE OF

THE PATRIARCHS THERE.

EVER WITH YOUR PROMO CODE

SOPHIE WAS A MERE HOURS AWAY

HER SURGERY AND STILL SHE

DIDN'T GO UNDER THE KNIFE THAT

DAY OR ANY OTHER.

THAT'S BECAUSE SOPHIE WAS

STARING AT SOMETHING SHE HAD

THOUGHT WAS IMPOSSIBLE.

A POSITIVE PREGNANCY TEST.

WHY?

WHY WOULD YOU GIVE ME THIS IF

IT'S JUST GOING TO BE REPEATED

LIKE IT JUST FELT HORRIBLE.

SOPHIE, RUN GETS EMOTIONAL

WHEN SHE THINKS BACK ON THE

HARDSHIPS SHE AND HER HUSBAND

JOE HAVE ENDURED.

THEY HAD DREAMS OF HAVING A

LARGE FAMILY BUT AN ULTRASOUND

REVEALED SOPHIE HAD STAGE FOUR

ENEMY TREEHOUSES A DISEASE IN

THE UTERUS CAUSING CYSTS, SCAR

TISSUE AND INFERTILITY.

THIS IS SOMETHING THAT SHE'LL

HAVE HER ENTIRE LIFE AND FROM

THAT DIAGNOSIS YOU KNOW BOTH

UNDERSTOOD THAT YOU KNOW THE

LIFE THAT OURSELVES HAD PLANNED

WAS GOING TO LOOK A LITTLE

DIFFERENT.

I REMEMBER COMING HOME TO HER

PARENTS ACTUALLY AND WE JUST

WENT UP TO GET UP TO HER ROOM

AND BOTH JUST CRIED FOR HOURS.

SHE JUST NOT REALLY KNOWING YOU

KNOW WHAT THE FUTURE WAS GOING

TO HOLD.

SOPHIE HAD LAPAROSCOPY

SURGERY TO REMOVE THE CYSTS IN

HER UTERUS WHICH WOULD MAKE

GETTING PREGNANT A POSSIBILITY.

SO I HAD FAMILY AND FRIENDS

PRAYING FOR ME THROUGH THAT

WHEN THE SURGERY CAME LIKE I

JUST KNEW THAT IT WAS TO BE A

DOORWAY TO ULTIMATELY A FAMILY.

SO I WAS I'LL DO ANYTHING.

I HAD THE SURGERY AND IT WAS

SUPER SUCCESSFUL.

FOUR MONTHS AFTER SURGERY

SOPHIE WAS PREGNANT.

THEY SOON WELCOMED THEIR SON

BROOKS INTO THE WORLD THAT

LABOR AND DELIVERY.

EVEN THE WHOLE PREGNANCY WAS

JUST AMAZING LIKE.

THE PROCESS WAS SO SMOOTH

AND QUICK AND JUST IN ALL OF

LIKE THE PERFECT LITTLE £7 GUY.

HOPING THEIR TROUBLES WERE

BEHIND THEM.

THEY SOON TRIED TO HAVE A

SECOND CHILD.

UNFORTUNATELY A, SERIES OF

MISCARRIAGES DAMPENED THEIR

HOPES FOR ADDING TO THEIR

FAMILY.

I JUST REMEMBER JUST LAYING

ON MY BATHROOM JUST PRETTY

HOPELESS TO KNOW THAT THAT CAN

BE LIKE A REPEATED WAS JUST

LIKE HOW DO I REALLY MOVE ON?

THEY RETURNED TO HER DOCTOR

FOR ANOTHER EXAM.

NOW MORE BAD NEWS THE

ENDOMETRIOSIS HAD RETURNED AND

WAS THAN BEFORE CYSTS AND A

BLOCKED FALLOPIAN TUBE MADE

GETTING PREGNANT IMPOSSIBLE.

I WAS JUST A MESS AND WENT

UPSTAIRS AND I JUST LAID FLAT

ON MY FACE AND I WAS LIKE LORD

LIKE I TODAY AM GIVING THIS TO

YOU.

THIS WAS LIKE A CHANGE OF

HEART LIKE ALMOST MY DESIRE FOR

JESUS AND WHAT HE WANTED BECAME

BIGGER THAN MY DESIRE FOR A BIG

FAMILY.

IN THAT MOMENT I GOT

I JUST SAW THE WORLD

DIFFERENTLY LIKE THE AND I

STILL LIKE I'VE NEVER GONE

BACK.

THEY PLAN TO START VITRO

FERTILIZATION WHICH WOULD

REQUIRE SOPHIE TO HAVE HER

FALLOPIAN TUBES REMOVED

PREVENTING HER ABILITY TO

CONCEIVE NATURALLY.

ONCE AGAIN THEY ASKED FOR

PRAYER FROM FRIENDS AND FAMILY.

THEN A CHRISTIAN FRIEND SHARED

A DREAM SHE'D HAD ABOUT SOPHIE

.

THE DREAM WAS THAT MY SISTER

AND I WERE PREGNANT TOGETHER

AND SHE'S LIKE YOU WERE REALLY

CLOSE.

WE WERE CELEBRATING WITH OUR

FAMILY AND FRIENDS WE HAD LIKE

A BIG BABY SHOWER AND WE WERE

JUST BIG AND PREGNANT TOGETHER

AND WAS LIKE THAT GAVE ME HOPE.

I'M LIKE WELL MAYBE IVF WILL

WORK FIRST TIME AND WE'LL GET

TO BE PREGNANT TOGETHER.

WITH A RENEWED SENSE OF HOPE

THEY SCHEDULED THE IVF

PROCEDURE.

THEN THE NIGHT BEFORE THE

SURGERY.

YOU KNOW WHAT?

I'M JUST GOING TO TAKE A

PREGNANCY TEST BECAUSE YOU JUST

NEVER.

I HAD SEEN SO MANY NEGATIVE

TESTS THAT I'M LIKE I KNOW

IT'LL BE NEGATIVE BUT JUST WANT

TO LIKE RULE IT OUT.

AND I LOOKED DOWN AND I WAS

LIKE OH WOW.

I MEAN IT WAS THE MOST POSITIVE

PREGNANCY TEST.

I WAS LIKE OH, LIKE I

SCREAMED.

I WOKE UP THE WHOLE HOUSE

AND I WAS SUPPOSED TO BE AT THE

HOSPITAL LIKE 5 HOURS LATER TO

REPORT HIM FOR SURGERY AND I

WAS LIKE, WELL OH MY GOD.

AND I TRULY ON THE ULTRASOUND

LIKE THIS WAS IMPOSSIBLE.

IT LOOKED IMPOSSIBLE.

THEN AT HER NEXT ULTRASOUND

SOPHIE WAS GIVEN MIRACULOUS

CONFIRMATION REGARDING THE

CYSTS AND BLOCKED FALLOPIAN

TUBE.

I SEE IN YOUR CHART THAT YOU

HAD THOSE AND I'M NOT SEEING

ANY ON YOUR.

SHE'S LIKE OVER IT.

LIKE EVERYTHING LOOKS GREAT AND

NORMAL AND I'M LIKE OH MY GOD,

JOE IS WITH ME AND I'M JUST

LOOKING AT HIM.

SHE COULD EVEN TELL SIDE THE

BABY AND PLAN IT ON WHICH WAS

THE SIDE THAT WAS BLOCKED LEFT

SIDE AND SO IT WAS JUST THAT

AFTER THAT SCAN I REMEMBER THAT

WAS AT WEEKS I REMEMBER BEING

LIKE THIS IS A TRUE MIRACLE.

THE CYSTS ARE GONE LIKE THESE

HAVE TO BE SURGICALLY REMOVED.

THEY DON'T JUST GO AWAY.

MONTHS LATER SOPHIE

DELIVERED PALMER HOPE HEALTHY

BABY GIRL.

TODAY SHE IS A REMINDER THAT

STILL PERFORMS MIRACLES AND

HEARS THE CRIES OF OUR HEARTS.

I REMEMBER WHEN WE LIKE

LOCKED EYES FOR THE FIRST TIME

AND IT WAS JUST LIKE INSTANTLY

CALM AND WAS I JUST FELT LIKE I

HAD KNOWN HER FOREVER.

LIKE IT WAS JUST SUCH A.

I'LL FORGET THAT MOMENT.

IT WAS SUCH A SPECIAL MOMENT I

HAVE TREASURED EVERY SINGLE DAY

WITH HER.

YOU KNOW, I THINK WHAT BOTH

SOPHIE LEARNED IS, YOU KNOW,

JUST TO PUT OUR OUR TRUST PUT

HOPE IN THE LORD AND YOU KNOW,

HE'S BLESSED TREMENDOUSLY.

THE FACT THAT HE CARES ABOUT

ME AND MY WIFE THAT MUCH.

LIKE I'M JUST SO THANKFUL THAT

HE HEALED ME AND BROUGHT ME

THESE BEAUTIFUL BABIES.

LIKE I JUST CAN'T I CANNOT IT

REALLY JUST A REMINDER EVERY

TIME WE LOOK AT HER, YOU KNOW,

HER LAUGH OR GIGGLE, YOU KNOW,

THAT'S THAT'S THE AND THAT'S

AFTER HE'S GIVEN US THANKFULLY

TO LOVE AND CHERISH FOR THE

REST OF OUR LIVES.

I'M JUST SO THANKFUL EVERY

DAY AND I'VE JUST SEEN THE

GOODNESS OF THE LORD SO

TANGIBLY THAT IT HAS JUST

CHANGED MY LIFE FOREVER AND YOU

CAN SEE THE GLOW ON HER FACE,

HER SMILE LIGHT IN HER EYES

BECAUSE YES INDEED SHE'S BEEN

TOUCHED BY GOD SHE'S HAD A

MIRACLE.

NOW WE GOT AN UPDATE ON SOPHIE

FOUND OUT TODAY THAT SHE'S 14

WEEKS PREGNANT AGAIN.

SO THE MIRACLE IS ONGOING.

IT'S WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU

BELIEVE GOD.

YOU BELIEVE IN HIS PROMISES.

YOU BELIEVE THAT HE TO HEAL

YOU.

HE WANTS TO RESTORE HE WANTS TO

GIVE YOU THE POWER TO GIVE

LIFE.

ISN'T THAT AMAZING?

GIVES LIFE AND HE GIVES IT MORE

ABUNDANTLY.

THAT'S WHAT JESUS CAME TO DO

FOR EACH ONE OF US.

HE DIDN'T COME DEPRIVE US OF A

SINGLE THING.

HE CAME TO GIVE US EVERYTHING

THAT WE WOULD BE JOY HEIRS WITH

HIM SO IMAGINE YOURSELVES

STANDING IN THE POSITION JESUS

BEFORE THE THRONE OF GOD

BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT THE BIBLE

SAYS WE GET TO DO THAT

JUSTIFIED THAT OUR SINS HAVE

BEEN COMPLETELY REMOVED US AS

FAR AS THE EAST IS FROM THE

WEST WE ARE HEIRS WITH JESUS

CHRIST AND SO WHEN WE COME TO

GOD COME STANDING IN HIS NAME

THAT'S WHAT IT MEANS TO PRAY IN

HIS NAME.

I'M COMING STANDING BEFORE YOU

AS YOUR CHILD, AS YOUR ONLY

CHILD.

I HAVE THAT RIGHT.

I HAVE THAT PRIVILEGE AND I'M A

JOINT HEIR WITH JESUS.

NOW WHEN YOU HAVE THAT IN

MIND IN YOUR SPIRIT IN YOUR

INNERMOST BEING YOU BELIEVE

THAT THEN WHEN YOU SPEAK PRAYER

YOU'RE SPEAKING WITH POWER.

WE'RE GOING TO DO THAT.

YOU JUST SAW A TREMENDOUS

MIRACLE.

IT'S AN ONGOING MIRACLE YOU CAN

THE GOSPEL WELL PAUL WILBUR IS

KNOWN AS THE SINGER BEHIND AND

CREDIBLE RENDITIONS OF WORSHIP

SONGS SUCH AS DAYS OF ELIJAH

ADONAI.

IN A REMOTE PART OF ZIMBABWE

PEOPLE KNOW PAUL SOMEONE ELSE

AS THE MAN WHO BROUGHT CLEAN

WATER TO THEIR HOME.

PAUL WILBER IS AN

INTERNATIONALLY ACCLAIMED

WORSHIP ARTIST, SONGWRITER,

SPEAKER AND AWARD WINNING

AUTHOR.

WHEN PAUL LEARNED ABOUT THE

NEWLY DISCOVERED JEWISH TRIBE

IN AFRICA DATING BACK TO KING

SOLOMON AND THE QUEEN OF SHEBA

KNOWN AS THE LIMBER TRIBE, HE

WAS INTRIGUED.

BUT WHEN HE HEARD ABOUT THEIR

DEPLORABLE LIVING CONDITIONS HE

TOOK ACTION.

PAUL THE LUMBER PROJECT

DRILLING FRESHWATER WELLS AND

CHANGING THE LIVES OF THE LIMBO

PEOPLE FOREVER.

WELL, PAUL IS HERE WITH US

NOW AND IT'S ALWAYS TREAT WHEN

YOU COME FOR US AS WE CELEBRATE

ROSH HASHANAH WITH BUT BUT ALSO

THIS TIME TO TALK ABOUT WHAT

GOD IS DOING IN ANOTHER PART OF

YOUR LIFE.

TALK LITTLE BIT ABOUT WHO

THE LUMBA ARE.

HOW DID THEY GET WHERE THEY

ARE?

WELL, THEY ARE CONNECTED TO

KING SOLOMON BY THE WAY AND

QUEEN OF SHEBA.

SOLOMON WAS A VERY BUSY GUY

GALS AND WIVES AND OTHERS AND

SO YEAH HE WAS VERY BUSY.

SO THEY'RE THEY'RE CONNECTED TO

WHAT KNOW AS THE PHILOSOPHY

JEWS OF ETHIOPIA WHO HAVE NOW

MANY OF THEM BEEN MAKING ALIYA

ALL THEIR CITIZENS.

AND IN ISRAEL THEIR DNA WAS

CHECKED THAT YES ARE OFFICIALLY

AUTHENTICALLY JEWISH.

AND SO THIS TRIBE IS THE SAME.

BUT THEY FOUND THEIR HOME THE

SOUTHEASTERN PART OF AFRICA,

ZIMBABWE.

THEY'RE UP IN ZAMBIA WHERE

WE'VE BEEN WITH WITH LARGE

GROUPS OF OF MERCY HELPERS,

FOOD AND CLOTHING AND AND

WHATNOT.

AND DOWN INTO MOZAMBIQUE.

BUT THEY IN VERY ARID DESPERATE

PLACES.

THE AVERAGE LIFE SPAN JUST OVER

40 YEARS BECAUSE OF

MALNUTRITION AND DISEASE MUCH

OF IT CONNECTED TO POOR

DRINKING WATER DRINKING OUT OF

THE SAME PUDDLES WITH THE WILD

ANIMALS AND SO WE HAVE DECIDED

THAT THAT HAS TO CHANGE.

SO HOW DID YOU HOW DID YOU

FIND THESE PEOPLE AND THEY WERE

THEY AWARE OF THEIR HERITAGE OF

WHERE OF THEIR.

YES, THEY THEY ARE THEY'VE

BEEN LIVING AS LEVITICUS JEWS,

BIBLICAL JEWS THOUSANDS OF

YEARS.

AND SO I HAVE A FRIEND JONATHAN

BERNICE WHO YOU KNOW VERY WELL

JEWISH VOICE MINISTRIES AND

THEY'VE BEEN IN THERE PREACHING

THE GOSPEL.

IT IS PROBABLY WITHOUT A DOUBT

THE RICHEST OF JEWISH SOULS IN

THE DAYS YOU KNOW, THE GOSPEL

IS SUPPOSED TO GO TO THE JEW

FIRST AND ALSO TO THE NATIONS

AND OUR JEWISH PEOPLE HAVE A

REPUTATION OF NOT THAT

RECEIVING OF THE GOSPEL YET.

YES BUT THESE LAMBETH JEWS HAVE

BEEN RECEIVING THE ISSUE OF

JESUS UNPRECEDENTED NUMBERS.

AND SO FOR THE LAST TEN YEARS

JONATHAN AND HIS TEAMS HAVE

ESTABLISHED SOMEWHERE BETWEEN

HUNDRED AND 50 AND 200

MESSIANIC JEWISH CONGREGATIONS

ONES IN ZIMBABWE.

NOW I KNEW OF THAT BUT I DIDN'T

KNOW THE NEED.

AND WHEN WE DISCOVERED THE NEED

WHEN WE SPRANG INTO ACTION.

SO THUS THE LUMBER PROJECT

ABOUT THAT.

WHAT ARE YOU DOING?

MM HMM.

SO WE DISCOVERED THAT THE NEED

AMONGST US PEOPLE IS WATER.

THEY IN A VERY ARID OUT SIDE

THE NORMAL RATE.

IT'S VERY DIFFICULT TO REACH

THEM.

MY SON MY OLDEST SON NATHAN IS

THERE RIGHT NOW AND HE JUST

SENT BACK SOME VIDEO OF A SIX

HOUR FOUR WHEEL DRIVE JOURNEY

LIKE I DID LAST YEAR.

IT'S HIS TURN THIS YEAR.

WE'RE DRILLING SIX NEW WELLS

RIGHT NOW EACH WELL WILL

SERVICE AN ENTIRE TRIBE

COMMUNITY OF ABOUT 10,000

PEOPLE.

SO WE HAVE TO DATE AFTER

FINISHED 16 WELLS THAT'LL

160,000 PEOPLE THAT ARE

SERVICED WITH CLEAN DRINKING

WATER EVERY DAY.

AND IT'S EASY TO DRILL THESE

WELLS.

NO, THE WATER IS NOT

HUNDREDS OF FEET.

IT'S THOUSANDS OF FEET.

SO HAVE MACHINERY, EXPENSIVE

MACHINERY GOES ACROSS AND DOES

SOUNDINGS TO FIND IN THE ROCK

PLATES SO THAT THE THE DRILLS

CAN ACTUALLY GET THROUGH.

AND WE FIND THOSE THEN THEN THE

DRILL BITS GO DOWN HUNDREDS,

THOUSANDS OF FEET.

THE WATER COMES SPRINGING.

THE CHILDREN CELEBRATE.

I CAN ONLY IMAGINE IT IS

AMAZING.

SO HOW CAN PEOPLE HELP WITH

WHAT YOU'RE DOING?

WELL OUR WEBSITE WILBON

MINISTRIES DOT COM THERE'S A

DROP DOWN FOR MISSIONS UNDER

MISSIONS IS PROJECT.

THESE WELLS ARE VERY EXPENSIVE

BECAUSE IT'S DIFFICULT TO GET

THE HUGE DRILLING MACHINES THAT

FAR OUT THEY COMMONLY BREAK

AXLES BREAK DOWN THEY HAVE

PROBLEMS AND WE BUY ONLY THE

BEST EQUIPMENT OUT EUROPE.

MANY PEOPLE ARE DRILLING WELLS.

WE GET CRITICIZED SOME PEOPLE

SAY HEY I'M DRILLING WELLS AND

THIS OR THAT THAT PLAYS FOR

4000 5000.

THESE WELLS ARE 15 TO 20000

APIECE BECAUSE OF THE PLACES

WHERE WE'RE DRILLING AND THE

DEPTH BUT WE ALSO PUT IN GERMAN

AND ITALIAN AND EQUIPMENT NOT

THE NOT THE CHINESE STUFF THAT

THEY'RE FINDING HAS LESS THAN A

YEAR'S LIFESPAN AND I WAS GOING

TO SAY THAT PROBABLY WOULDN'T

EVEN WORK FOR WHAT YOU'RE

TRYING TO DO.

IT'S SUCH A A FALSE HOPE

BECAUSE IT WORKS FOR A LITTLE

WHILE AND THEN THEY'RE RIGHT

WITH NO CLEAN WATER AGAIN AND

WE'RE WATCHING OVER THESE WELLS

TO MAKE SURE THAT THEY

CONTINUE.

WE MAINTAIN THEM.

WE HAVE BOOTS ON THE GROUND AND

THAT'S REALLY AN IMPORTANT PART

OF IT.

HERE HERE AGAIN WITH US

THANKFULLY AFTER THE COAL

COVERED INCIDENT.

BUT YOU'RE HERE TO CELEBRATE

ROSH HASHANA AGAIN.

YEAH IT'S SUCH AN EXCITING

TIME.

I MEAN IS IT STILL FRESH FOR

YOU?

YOU COME AND DO THIS.

WE'RE LOOKING FORWARD TO THIS.

YOU KNOW I GOT THE CALL AND

SAID WE'RE DOING IT AND THEN I

GOT THE CALL.

WE'RE NOT DOING IT.

SO NO, NO, NO.

WE'VE GOT TO MAKE IT AND YEAH,

EVERYBODY IS SO EXCITED TONIGHT

IS GOING TO BE VERY VERY

SPECIAL.

ONLY SAD THING FOR ME IS THIS

IS OUR FIRST ONE WITHOUT PAT

WHO WAS THE HOST OF THE FEAST

FOR SO LONG.

BUT ISN'T IT WONDERFUL SEE

THAT THE LEGACY THAT HE CREATED

GOES ON AND MEANS SO MUCH?

I MEAN WE'RE ALL SO EXCITED

THAT YOU'RE HERE.

PAT SMILING HE'S GOT THE BEST

SEAT NOW HE HE SAYS GORDON UP

SCARED THAT'S HOW A GRANDMOTHER

FROM SOUTH AFRICA SPENDS HER

DAYS SHE'S INSIDE THE HOUSE

SINCE SHE CAN NO LONGER WALK

WITHOUT FEAR OF FALLING ALL

BECAUSE SHE'S BEEN BLINDED BY

CATARACTS.

AND HERE'S HOW YOU BECAME THE

ANSWER TO PRAYERS.

NO.

SAKINEH MOVED IN WITH HER

DAUGHTER, SPEND MORE TIME WITH

HER AND HER GRANDCHILD.

NOT LONG AFTER THE MOVE SHE

DEVELOPED CATARACTS IN BOTH OF

HER EYES.

AT FIRST MY VISION WAS JUST

BLURRY.

THEN SUDDENLY IT WAS VERY BAD.

I WAS CONFUSED AND SCARED.

I AM ONLY 67 YEARS OLD.

I'M TOO TO BE BLIND.

I CAN'T WALK OUTSIDE ALONE

ANYMORE.

I'M WORRIED I WILL FALL AND

BREAK MY LEG.

I'M AFRAID TO USE THE STOVE

BECAUSE I CAN'T SEE ANYTHING

AND START A FIRE OR BURN MYSELF

NOW WHILE HER FAMILY GOES ABOUT

THEIR DAY.

NO SAYING SHE SPENDS TIME

INSIDE WHILE MY GRANDCHILDREN

ARE IN SCHOOL I AM ALONE.

I TRY NOT TO WORRY BECAUSE I

KNOW THEY COME HOME SOON.

I SIT HERE WITH THE DOOR

CLOSED AND THINK IF ONLY I

COULD SEE THE BIBLE ASK AND YOU

SHALL RECEIVE SEEK AND YOU YOU

SHALL FIND WHEN I AM LEFT ALL

BY MYSELF AND DOOR IS SHUT.

I PRAY FATHER HAVE MERCY ME.

WHEN HER FAMILY LEARNED ABOUT

GRACE VISIT A MINISTRY

SUPPORTED BY OPERATION BLESSING

THEY REACHED OUT TO US FOR

HELP.

SOON SURGERY WAS ARRANGED AND

PAID FOR.

DON'T KNOW WHAT I WOULD HAVE

DONE WITHOUT YOU BECAUSE

ABLE TO AFFORD THIS SURGERY.

I NEVER I WOULD SEE AGAIN.

THIS SURGERY WILL BE LIFE

CHANGING AND JUST ONE OF TEN

THAT OPERATION BLESSING IS

EVEN FEEL THE PAIN.

NOW I CAN SEE AND MY HEART IS

OF HAPPINESS.

WHEN I SAW FOR THE FIRST TIME I

FELT BODY CAME BACK TO LIFE.

I CAN GO OUTSIDE WORK IN MY

GARDEN.

I CAN SEE OVER THERE.

I CAN SEE EVERYWHERE.

NOW WHEN THE KIDS LEAVE FOR

SCHOOL I WALK OUT WITH THEM AND

WAVE GOODBYE.

WHEN THEY COME HOME THE FOOD

IS READY BECAUSE I HAVE COOKED.

I AM JUST SO HAPPY.

MY HEART IS OVERWHELMED.
