REPUBLICANS CLAIM THE THREAT
FROM THE THE CCP IS GRAVE AND
IF DEMOCRATS DO NOT WANT TO

PARTY'S POLITICAL WARFARE

SERIOUS MISTAKE.
WHILE DEMOCRATS MAINTAIN

RUSSIA SPREADS TERROR WITH
RAPE, CHILD KIDNAPING TORTURE

ASSISTING RUSSIA IN THIS FILTHY
WAR OF AGGRESSION BY HELPING

REPORTING FROM THE WHITE HOUSE.
ABIGAIL CBN NEWS.
ALL RIGHT.
THANK.
NOW TO HOUSE SPEAKER MIKE
JOHNSON'S BID TO PASS SEVERAL
FOREIGN OVER THE OBJECTIONS OF
SOME IN HIS PARTY.
YESTERDAY RELEASED THREE
SEPARATE BILLS TO SEND $95
BILLION IN ASSISTANCE TO
ISRAEL, TAIWAN AND UKRAINE BY
OFFERING THE UKRAINE BILL,
SPEAKER JOHNSON IS RISKING HIS
A VOCAL MINORITY IN HIS
CONFERENCE OPPOSES SENDING MORE
BEFORE ADDRESSING THE CRISIS AT
THE SOUTHERN BORDER TO REMOVE
THE SPEAKER FROM POWER.
HE SAYS HE SAYS IT'S NOT TIME
FOR POLITICAL GAMES AND HE'S
NOT WORRIED ABOUT KEEPING
KEEPING HIS JOB.
SPEAKER JOHNSON IS EXPRESSING
DISAPPOINTMENT OVER THE
SENATE'S
IMPEACHMENT CHARGES AGAINST DHS
SECRETARY ALEJANDRO MAYORKAS.
THE HOUSE EARLIER THIS WEEK
SENT OVER CHARGES THAT MAYORKAS
SHOULD BE REMOVED FOR FAILING
TO PROTECT NATIONAL SECURITY
BECAUSE BECAUSE HE'S NOT BEEN
ENFORCING BORDER POLICIES.
YESTERDAY IN JUST A MATTER OF A
FEW HOURS THE DEMOCRAT LED
SENATE VOTED THAT BOTH AGAINST
MAYORKAS ARE UNCONSTITUTIONAL.
SENATE CHUCK SCHUMER SAID THE
REPUBLICANS FAILED TO MEET THE
IMPEACHMENT STANDARD CRIMES AND
MISDEMEANORS.
WILL CONFLICTS IN CONGRESS
ELECTION HAVE POLITICAL
CONVERSATIONS MORE HEATED THAN
SOME OF THOSE ISSUES EVEN
DIVIDING CHURCHES?
PASTOR AND AUTHOR SEEKS TO BE A
VOICE OF REASON.
CBN'S CHARLENE CHARLENE AARON
RECENTLY SPOKE WITH DR. TONY
EVANS ABOUT WHAT HE CALLS A
KINGDOM A KINGDOM ALTERNATIVE
IN HIS BOOK KINGDOM POLITIC TO
GOVERNMENT.
DR. TONY EVANS HIGHLIGHTS THE
HIGHLIGHTS THE IMPORTANCE OF
SEEING GOVERNMENT FROM GOD'S
POINT OF VIEW AND OFFERS A
BIBLICAL PATH THROUGH ONE OF
THE MOST DIVISIVE ISSUES OF OUR
TIME.
WHAT MOTIVATED YOU TO DO A
DIVE BIBLE STUDY ON POLITICS?
WHAT MOTIVATED ME WAS THE
CHAOS, CONFUSION AND
DIVISIVENESS THAT I WAS SEEING
AMONG CHRISTIANS WHERE THE
POLITICAL LANDSCAPE TO INFORM
OUR HOW OUR BIBLICAL WORLDVIEW
RATHER WORLDVIEW INFORMING THE
POLITICAL LANDSCAPE.
AN APPEARANCE ON CBN'S PRAYER
LINK DR. EVANS OFFERED FOR
TALKING WITH THOSE WE DISAGREE
WITH POLITICALLY SPEAK WITH
GRACE WE SHOULD ALWAYS SPEAK
SPEAK WITH A SPIRIT OF LOVE
WITHOUT COMPROMISING TRUTH.
BUT WE ALWAYS START WITH
TRUTH BECAUSE IT'S.
IT'S GOD'S PERSPECTIVE.
WE WANT TO MAKE BIBLICAL POINTS
WHICH IS WHAT WHAT SHOULD
ALWAYS BE DONE WITH THE SPIRIT
OF HUMILITY, GRACE AND LOVE A
LOVE NOT PARTIAL TO ONE
POLITICAL SIDE OR THE OTHER IS
NOT A DEMOCRAT OR REPUBLICAN.
HE DOESN'T WRITE THE BACKS
OF DONKEYS OR ELEPHANTS SO HE
IS THE CONSUMMATE INDEPENDENT.
HE STRESSES HOW VOTE IS
OFTEN TIED TO ISSUES FROM THEIR
OWN LIVES.
HE CAUTIONS SHOULD NOT BE
PLACED ABOVE CHRISTIAN FAITH.
WHEN YOU LOOK TO POLITICS AS
A SOLUTION, YOU HAVE IDEALS
THAT THAT INSTITUTION ABOVE THE
GOD THAT CREATED IT.
WE UNFORTUNATELY TODAY WE HAVE
DEMOCRATIC AND REPUBLICAN WHO
ARE POLITICAL IDOLATERS REASONS
HE POINTS SOLUTION.
WHAT WE ARE EXPERIENCING NOW
NOW IN OUR CULTURE IS WHAT I
CALL THE PASSIVE WRATH OF GOD.
WHAT WE'RE.
WHAT WE'RE SEEING TODAY IS
CHAOS.
YOU CAN'T SOLVE WHAT'S WRONG IN
OUR CULTURE IN OUR CULTURE THAT
DAY BY AIR FORCE ONE.
CHRONICLES 15 VERSE 3 TO 6
SAYS THERE WAS CHAOS IN THE
LAND LAND BUT GOD TROUBLED THEM
WITH EVERY KIND OF DISTRESS.
IF GOD IS YOUR PROBLEM YOUR
PROBLEM IT DOESN'T MATTER WHO
YOU ELECT.
IF GOD IS YOUR PROBLEM YOU
BETTER GET THAT STRAIGHT.
IN.
IN THE END ONLY ONE THING
REALLY MATTERS.
YOU YOU SHOULD PRAY FOR LOCAL
AND NATIONAL LEADERS BUT THEY
WILL BE BE INFLUENCED TO MAKE
THE RIGHT DECISIONS.
PRIOR TO PRAYING FOR THEM WE
NEED TO PRAY.
IF WE'RE NOT GETTING RIGHT, IF
WE'RE NOT UNIFIED IT WILL
CENTRIC IN OUR FOCUS.
IF WE ARE NOT APPLYING
CONSISTENTLY GUIDELINES AND
GOVERNANCE IS IN WHERE WE LIVE
WE HAVE THAT WE CAN'T EXPECT
AND MAKE THE.
OR TO PUT IT ANOTHER WAY UNTIL
GOD CAN FIX FIX THE NATION.
CHARLENE AARON CBN NEWS.
NOT A POLITICAL SOLUTION OR
EARTHLY SOLUTION.
GORDON LET ME JUST ECHO THAT
THAT.
YOU KNOW YOU LOOK AT SOME OF
THE POLITICAL DEBATE TODAY AND
AND YOU WOULD THINK THAT WOULD
BE ABSOLUTE CATASTROPHE IF THE
OTHER IF THE OTHER SIDE OF THAT
POLITICAL DEBATE WOULD SOMEHOW
WIN AN ELECTION ELECTION OR
WHAT WOULD HAPPEN THE DISASTER
THAT WOULD HAPPEN WOULD HAPPEN
IF SOMEBODY LOST AN ELECTION.
WELL, YOU'RE HAVING A PROBLEM
AND IT'S AN IDOLATROUS PROBLEM
WHAT TONY HAVING JUST SAID.
IF YOU'RE SAYING OUR FATHER IN
WASHINGTON, D.C., YOU HAVE THE
WRONG GOD.
OUR GOD SHOULD NEVER BE OUR
GOVERNMENT.
IS INDEPENDENT OF THAT.
AND LET COMES BACK.
HE'S NOT COMING BACK TO TAKE
SIDES.
TAKE SIDES.
HE'S NOT GOING TO COME BACK AND
SAY THE REPUBLICANS HAVE BEEN
RIGHT ALL ALONG ALONG OR THE
DEMOCRATS HAVE BEEN RIGHT ALL
ALONG.
HE'S GOING TO COME BACK AND
TAKE OVER.
SO OUR DECISION IS HAS HE TAKEN
OVER ME I IN HIS KINGDOM?
AM I AN AMBASSADOR?
AM I DOING THAT TO THE BEST OF
MY ABILITY SUBMITTING MY
THOUGHTS, MY WORDS, MY DEED
GUIDANCE WHEN WE CAN SAY YES TO
THAT INDEED WE'LL HAVE A VERY,
STAY NEWS ALL DAY ACROSS OUR
PLATFORMS.
WELL, ASSUMING YOU'RE STORING
YOUR DATA IN THE CLOUD TIME YOU
SEND A TEXT OR SNAP A PICTURE
ON YOUR CELL.
THE INFORMATION IS SENT TO A
DATA CENTER TO BE STORED.
THE DIGITAL INDUSTRY IS GROWING
AS AN RATE AND THE SIZE AND
NUMBER OF THESE FACILITIES
INCREASING.
AS A RESULT THEY'RE PUTTING A
STRAIN.
CAITLIN BURKE REPORTS.
THIS PART OF NORTHERN
VIRGINIA IS IS KNOWN AS DATA
CENTER ALLEY STRETCHING ACROSS
LOUGHTON AND FAIRFAX FAIRFAX
COUNTIES.
THESE BUILDINGS FULL OF SERVERS
70% OF THE WORLD'S INTERNET
TRAFFIC.
WHEN YOU TALK HAPPENING
ONLINE OR HAPPENING IN THE
CLOUD ABOUT IS SOMETHING THAT'S
ACTUALLY HAPPENING THAT'S
POWERED BY A PHYSICAL A
BUILDING.
THE AVERAGE AMERICAN
HOUSEHOLD HAS AT LEAST HAS AT
LEAST 22 DEVICES CONNECTED TO
THE INTERNET.
THEY'VE EXPANDED FROM FROM
PHONES AND COMPUTERS TO SMART
TVS, LIGHTS AND APPLIANCES.
OUR DIGITAL SOCIETY CREATES SO
MUCH DATA THAT MASSIVE STORAGE
FACILITIES LIKE THESE ARE NOW
NEEDED TO PROCESS AND HOUSE IT
ALL RATHER THAN HAVE EACH
INDIVIDUAL BUSINESS INDIVIDUAL
INTERNET USER HAVE THEIR OWN
SERVER.
THEIR DATA A DATA CENTER
AGGREGATES ALL OF OUR
COLLECTIVE NEEDS IN ONE
FACILITY.
AND BY DOING SO THE FACILITY
SECURE MORE RELIABLE, MORE
EFFICIENT.
WHILE DATA CENTERS SERVICE
THEY ALSO REQUIRE A TREMENDOUS
AMOUNT.
IT IS NOT UNCOMMON FOR A DATA
CENTER A DATA CENTER TO REQUIRE
AS MUCH POWER AS LET'S SAY
25,000 HOMES
AFFORDABLE AND RELIABLE
POWER HELP DRAW FACILITIES TO
VIRGINIA.
THEIR PREDICTED GROWTH,
HOWEVER, IS RAISING WE COULD
REACH A POINT WHEN UTILITIES
AND EVEN THE POWER GRID ITSELF
WON'T BE ABLE TO KEEP UP.
THINK OF THE LAST FIVE YEARS
BASICALLY THE POWER DEMAND FROM
DATA CENTERS IN OUR SERVICE
TERRITORY DOUBLED DOUBLED.
AND LOOKING FORWARD YEARS WE
PROJECTED THAT POWER DEMAND
FROM DATA CENTERS IS LIKELY
NEARLY QUADRUPLE FROM WHAT IT
IS TODAY.
DOMINION.
DOMINION POWER SPOKESMAN AARON
RUBY WANTS TO ASSURE VIRGINIA
RESIDENTS PLANS PLANS ARE IN
PLACE TO DEAL WITH THIS GROWING
NEED.
IF POWER DEMAND DEMAND IS
GOING TO NEARLY DOUBLE OVER 15
YEARS THEN THAT MEANS WE NEED
WE NEED TO NEARLY DOUBLE OUR
POWER SUPPLY OVER THE NEXT 15
YEARS WHICH MEANS WE NEED TO
BUILD A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF
NEW POWER PLANTS.
WE NEED TO BUILD A SIGNIFICANT
AMOUNT OF NEW NEW POWER LINES,
TRANSMISSION LINES DISTRIBUTION
LINES, SUBSTATIONS TO BE ABLE
TO DELIVER NEARLY TWICE AS MUCH
ELECTRICITY TO OUR CUSTOMERS.
RUBY SAYS DOMINION'S PLAN
FOR THE FUTURE RELIES ON A MIX
OF ENERGY SOURCES AND 95% OF
THEM WILL BE CARBON FREE.
THAT INCLUDES THE COUNTRY'S
LARGEST OFFSHORE WIND PROJECT
THE SECOND LARGEST SOLAR FLEET.
EXPANDING BATTERY STORAGE AND
EXPLORING NUCLEAR POWER.
ONLY 5% OF NEW ENERGY WILL COME
FROM NATURAL GAS.
STILL, THESE MAJOR GRID
UPDATES COST MONEY AND SOME OF
DOMINION'S RESIDENTIAL
CUSTOMERS DON'T WANT TO PAY
THIS INDUSTRY'S POWER BILL.
THE TRUTH IS THAT IF YOU
REMOVE THE DATA CENTER INDUSTRY
VIRGINIA IS NOT EXPERIENCING
THIS EXPLOSIVE KIND OF
TRANSMISSION NEED THIS NEED FOR
NEW GENERATION.
ELAINA SCHLOSSBERG WITH THE
COALITION TO PROTECT PRINCE
WILLIAM COUNTY OUT THAT WHILE
DATA CENTERS PAY FOR THEIR
POWER USE TAXPAYER ON THE HOOK
FOR FINANCING THE NEW
INFRASTRUCTURE.
ALL OF US ARE COVERING THE
COST OF THESE MASSIVE
TRANSMISSION LINES.
SOME POINT WE'RE GOING TO NEED
TO BUILD ALL THE GENERATION.
WHAT IS HAPPENING IS NOT
NORMAL.
SCHLOSSBERG WORRIES THAT
BEING THE DATA CENTER THE WORLD
WILL EVENTUALLY DESTROY HER
STATE.
NEAR HOMES THEY DON'T BELONG
THERE.
NATIONAL PARKS AND IN YOUR
DRINKING WATER SUPPLY
WATERSHEDS SOMETHING HAS TO
CHANGE.
FOR EXAMPLE, A LAWSUIT IS
UNDERWAY PLANNED ACROSS FROM
MANASSAS NATIONAL BATTLEFIELD
PARK, THE DIGITAL GATEWAY.
MANY AREA PROPERTY OWNERS
HAVE AGREED RATHER THAN LIVE
NEXT DOOR TO SUCH A MASSIVE
INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT, DATA
CENTERS ARE DESTROYING
COMMUNITIES.
TOO MUCH ELECTRICITY, TOO
MUCH FOSSIL, TOO MUCH WATER AND
TOO MUCH LAND.
WE ALL HAVE TO BE A PART OF
THAT CONVERSATION BECAUSE
BECAUSE WE ARE SACRIFICING THE
REAL WORLD FOR THE DIGITAL
WORLD.
WHEN ASKED ABOUT ASKED ABOUT
THE COSTS FOR THE PLANNED GRID
UPDATES, DOMINION'S
SPOKESPERSON RESPONDED THAT
THAT CUSTOMERS MONTHLY POWER
BILLS WILL ONLY GO UP BY PER
YEAR A RATE LOWER THAN HISTORIC
INFLATION ADDS THE LARGEST COST
INCREASE ISN'T DUE TO DATA VAST
MAJORITY OF THOSE COSTS ARE DUE
ARE DUE TO THE CLEAN ENERGY
TRANSITION THAT WE'RE
UNDERTAKING IN VIRGINIA.
MEANWHILE.
MEANWHILE JOHN HUGO WITH THE
DATA CENTER COALITION SAYS
THEY'RE ALWAYS LOOKING FOR
LOOKING FOR WAYS TO BE MORE
EFFICIENT.
SO THIS IS GOING TO BE AN
INDUSTRY THAT'S WITH US FOR A
LONG TIME LONG TIME AND SO DATA
CENTERS WILL WANT TO BE GOOD
NEIGHBORS.
THEY WANT TO BE ENGAGED IN
THE COMMUNITIES THAT THEY'RE
PART THAT THEY'RE PART OF.
WHILE THESE EXPERTS SAY IT'S
EASY TO POINT THE FINGER AT THE
DATA CENTER INDUSTRY CENTER
INDUSTRY CONSUMERS CONTINUE TO
DRIVE ITS EXPLOSIVE GROWTH AND
IT WILL ONLY GET BIGGER AS
RESEARCH PREDICTS DATA DEMAND
GLOBAL GLOBAL IN 2030 WILL BE
TEN TIMES WHAT IT WAS AT THE
START OF THE OF THE DECADE.
CAITLIN BURKE CBN NEWS FROM
LOUDON COUNTY'S DATA CENTER.
ALEC WELL I CERTAINLY DON'T
SEE ANY END TO THE GROWTH OF
DATA STORAGE AND SO DATA
CENTERS ARE FRANKLY HERE TO
STAY.
WHEN YOU ADD AI AI TO THIS
MAX, IT IS BEYOND EXPLOSIVE AND
.
THIS IS JUST THE WORLD WE'RE
GOING TO BE LIVING IN OVER OVER
THE DECADES TO COME.
SO WE NEED TO PREPARE FOR IT.
HISTORIC HISTORIC CLE THERE IS
IN NORTHERN VIRGINIA AS THE
DATA CENTER CAPITAL OF THE
WORLD OF THE WORLD HAS MORE TO
DO WITH THE DEPARTMENT OF
DEFENSE AND THE NSA.
THOSE ARE BOTH LOCATED IN
WASHINGTON D.C. AND DEMANDED
THAT KIND OF DATA GROWTH AND
THAT KIND CONNECTIVITY.
AND SO THAT'S WHY OUR MAJOR
HUBS FOR THE ARE ALL LOCATED IN
WASHINGTON D.C. SO WHEN YOU
PRIVATE INDUSTRY COME ALONGSIDE
THAT WHAT THEY'RE TRYING OF THE
HIGH SPEED NETWORKS THAT ARE
ALREADY THERE ARE ALREADY
THAT'S ONE 809 406.
ACCLAIMED WRITER MITCH ALBOM
HAS VISITED HAS VISITED HAITI
MANY TIMES OVER THE LAST
DECADE.
THOSE TRIPS HAVE BECOME MORE
HAVE BECOME MORE DANGEROUS IN
RECENT YEARS AS VIOLENT GANGS
HAVE TAKEN OVER THE CAPITAL THE
CAPITAL CITY.
HIS MOST RECENT TRIP WAS NEARLY
HIS FINAL ONE.
HE AND HIS TEAM NARROWLY
ESCAPED WITH THEIR LIVES.
NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLING

AFTER THE DEVASTATING THE
DEVASTATING EARTHQUAKE HIT
HAITI IN 2010.
MITCH HAS OPERATED HAVE FAITH
ORPHANAGE IN PORT AU PRINCE
THAT PROVIDES A LOVING HOME.
MITCH ALBOM IS HERE WITH US
NOW.
WELCOME.
GREAT TO HAVE YOU HERE.
LET'S START BY SHARING WITH US
A LITTLE BIT WHY HAITI?
I MEAN HOW DID YOU CHOOSE
HAITI AS TO QUAKE IN 2010?
PASTOR CAME TO ME THERE AND HE
THOUGHT IT HAD BEEN DESTROYED
AND HE COULDN'T GET A PHONE
CALL THROUGH AND THE IMAGE OF
CHILDREN UNDER RUBBLE.
AND SO I WENT DOWN WITH THEM TO
TRY TO HELP HIM OUT.
HIM OUT.
THANK GOD IT HADN'T BEEN
DESTROYED BUT IT HAD BEEN
OVERRUN.
I STARTED TO FALL IN LOVE WITH
THE KIDS THERE THEIR FAITH,
THEIR THEIR THEIR JOY DESPITE
IN THE MIDST OF IN THE MIDST OF
TERRIBLE TERRIBLE TERRIBLE
CONDITIONS.
AND I BEGAN TO GO BACK EVERY
MONTH AND I STARTED I STARTED
BRINGING GUYS FROM DETROIT WITH
ME AND WE STARTED TO BUILD THE
FIRST TOILETS THAT THAT THEY
EVER HAD BECAUSE THEY'D BEEN
USING HOLES IN THE GROUND OUT
IN THE FIELD FOR SHOWERS THE
SCHOOL.
AND EVENTUALLY THE PASTOR HAD
TOLD ME HE WAS IN HIS MID
EIGHTIES HE SAID I DON'T HAVE
ANY MONEY TO RUN THIS PLACE AND
ONE OF THOSE MOMENTS THAT YOU
LOOK BACK ON IN YOUR LIFE I
SAID WELL PROBABLY RUN IT IF
YOU WANT TO.
AND I THINK HE SAID THANK YOU.
HE LEFT AND I INHERITED AN
ORPHANAGE AND AN ORPHANAGE AND
I'D BEEN THERE EVERY MONTH
SINCE FOR THE LAST 14 YEARS AND
AND YOU HAVE BEEN SO TOUCHED BY
THE CHILDREN NOT JUST THE
PLIGHT THAT THEY'RE IN WITH THE
ECONOMY AND EVERYTHING ELSE
THAT GOES ON THERE BUT JUST
WITH THEIR INNOCENCE IN THE
MIDST IT ALL.
I JUST FINISHED READING FINDING
CHIKA AND WOW A STORY BUT NOW
YOU HAVE NOT TALKED NADIA AND
WHY?
WHAT IS IT ABOUT NADIA THAT'S.
WELL LIKE CHIKA WHO WAS A
LITTLE GIRL AFTER HER MOTHER
DIED UNDER DIRE CONDITIONS NOT
WHEN SHE WAS SIX MONTHS OLD.
AND THAT PICTURE THERE
PICTURE THERE AND SHE WEIGHED
£7.
SHE HAD NOTHING TO EAT BUT
SUGAR WATER BUT SUGAR WATER AND
SHE COULDN'T OPEN HER EYES,
COULDN'T MOVE MOVE COULDN'T
MAKE A SOUND.
SO WE BROUGHT HER TO AMERICA ON
THIS SPECIAL NUTRITION PROGRAM
WHEN YOU WERE LITTLE HAD TO
FEED HER EVERY 2 HOURS JUST
HOPING TO SAVE HER LIFE AND YOU
KNOW, EVERY MONTH WE WOULD GO
TO THE DOCTOR AND SHE GROWING
THE SUGAR AND HE SAID I DON'T
KNOW, LET'S PRAY.
LET'S PRAY.
AND TWO YEARS IN A COUPLE OF
MONTHS AND SHE IS AND SHE'S
GREAT HEALTH AND AND RUNS
AROUND THE HOUSE AND SPEAKS
BEAUTIFULLY AND YEAH YEAH, BUT
GOD SHOWED US A LOT OF HIS
GREAT WORK WITH HER.
TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THE
SITUATION IN HAITI NOW BECAUSE
WE READ ABOUT IT WE HEAR ABOUT
IT IN THE NEWS.
IT'S NOT THE AS HAVING GONE
THERE AS CONSISTENTLY AS YOU
HAVE.
IT'S WORST I'VE EVER SEEN
IT.
GANGS LITERALLY RUN THE ENTIRE
PORT AU PRINCE.
YOU CANNOT GO OUT.
THERE'S NO THE AIRPORTS CLOSED
,BOATS ARE CLOSED AND PEOPLE
CANNOT.
PEOPLE CANNOT GET OUT EVEN JUST
TO GET STUFF IN THE MARKETS
WHICH ARE RUNNING OUT OF FOOD
BECAUSE BECAUSE IT'S NOT COMING
IN.
THERE'S VIOLENCE IN THE STREETS
EVERY NIGHT.
DEAD BODIES FOUND ALL THE TIME.
PLACES ARE BURNED.
EVEN ORPHANAGES ARE ATTACKED
AND OVERRUN.
WE HAD TO TAKE IN AN ORPHANAGE
JUST LAST 25 KIDS BECAUSE THEY
HAD BEEN RUN OUT OF THEIR OWN
ORPHANAGE AND NOBODY SEEMS TO
BE DOING ANYTHING ABOUT IT.
THE INTERNATIONAL COMMUNITY
JUST SORT OF SAYING WELL
HAITI'S ALWAYS BEEN A PROBLEM
FOR A LONG TIME AND THAT'S NOT
THE.
THESE CHILDREN DIDN'T ASK TO BE
BORN THERE AND THEY DESERVE A
BETTER.
SO IN THE MIDST OF ALL OF
THIS, PROTECT THE ORPHANAGE
THAT'S NOW YOURS YOURS AND YOUR
RESPONSIBILITY ON YOUR PLATE SO
TO SPEAK?
YEAH YEAH WE UNFORTUNATELY
HAVE TO SPEND A LOT OF THE
MONEY THAT WE RAISE ON
SECURITY.
WE.
WE HAVE TO HAVE 24 SECURITY
GUARDS ROUNDING THE PLACE.
WE SPEND MONEY ON HELMETS AND
VESTS WHEN WE SHOULD BE
SPENDING IT ON FOOD AND AN
EDUCATION JUST TO TRY TO KEEP
OUR KIDS SAFE.
IT'S IT'S NOT A WAY TO LIVE.
SO TELL US ABOUT THE LAST TRIP
THAT YOU MADE WHERE REALLY IT
WAS A HARROWING ESCAPE JUST TO
GET OUT OF THERE.
YOU WENT IN, YOU HAD TO KNOW
THAT THERE WAS DANGER THERE.
DID YOU THINK IT WOULD COME
TO THAT OR.
NO.
THE TIMING WAS VERY GOOD.
I BROUGHT EIGHT GUESTS FROM THE
STATES, ONE OF WHOM HAD NEVER
BEEN OUT OF THE COUNTRY BEFORE.
THIS WAS HER FIRST TRIP.
THEY WERE VOLUNTEERS TO HELP US
AND THE NIGHT INTO ONE OF THE
BIGGEST PRISONS AND SPRUNG ALL
THE PRISONERS THE CITY FELL
INTO GREAT TURMOIL.
THE TURMOIL.
THE AIRPORT WAS CLOSED AND WE
REALIZED THERE'S NOT GOING TO
BE ANY WAY OUT.
AND AS THE DAYS PASSED IT
BECAME MORE AND MORE APPARENT
THAT IT WAS BECOMING MORE THAT
WE WERE TARGETS.
YOU KNOW, WE DON'T WANT TO
BRING THAT KIND OF ATTENTION
ORPHANAGE AND WE TRIED FOUR
TIMES THE FIRST THREE FAILED TO
TRY TO GET OUT.
WE WERE LEFT ON A HILLSIDE AT
ONE POINT WAITING FOR A
HELICOPTER TO SHOW UP THAT
NEVER SHOWED UP BUT.
EVENTUALLY A US CONGRESSMAN
NAMED CORY MILLS AND LISA
MCCLAIN, ANOTHER ONE ACTUALLY
ARRANGED A PRIVATE RESCUE IN
THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT AND
THEY CAME AND GOT THE MORNING.
BUT EVEN AS WE FLEW OUT OF
THERE AND GOT GUESTS SAFELY,
THEY DIDN'T ASK FOR THAT.
YOU KNOW, WHEN YOU KNOW, WHEN
WE FLEW OUT OF HAITIAN
AIRSPACE, MY WIFE AND I HAD A
REAL GUT PUNCH BECAUSE ALL OF
OUR KIDS WERE LEFT BEHIND.
AND THE TRUTH IS EVEN IF I ALL
60 OF OUR KIDS INTO THAT
HELICOPTER, THEY NEVER WOULD
HAVE ANYWHERE IF WE HAD LANDED
IN THE D.R. THEY WOULD HAVE
KICKED THEM BACK THEY WOULD
HAVE KICKED THEM BACK OVER THE
BORDER AND ARRESTED US.
SAME THING IN OTHER COUNTRIES.
HAITIANS SADLY GO ALMOST
ANYWHERE.
THEIR PASSPORTS DON'T ALLOW
THEM TO TRAVEL.
THEM TO TRAVEL.
SO WE'RE CONSTANTLY PRAYING
FOR OUR KIDS EVERY DAY SO.
SO TALK ABOUT THE FUTURE.
I MEAN HAITI HAS BEEN AN BEEN
AN ISSUE FOR A LONG TIME, A BIG
ISSUE AND UNSOLVABLE ONE.
WHAT'S YOUR VISION?
WHAT'S YOUR HOPE FOR THE THAT'S
A LONG QUESTION, A LONG ANSWER
.
IF I DON'T HAVE TIME FOR THE
FIRST AND FOREMOST THEY HAVE TO
STOP THIS VIOLENCE.
SOMEONE HAS TO COME IN AND
QUELL THE GANG VIOLENCE.
I MEAN YOU CAN'T DO ANYTHING.
PEOPLE ARE BEING SHOT IN THE
STREET NILLY AND THEN FREE
ELECTIONS, FREE EDUCATION FOR
THE CHILDREN BECAUSE RIGHT TO
SCHOOL AND YOU KNOW, ELIMINATE
THE CORRUPTION.
BUT THOSE ARE THE STEPS THAT
NEED TO BE TAKEN.
HOW DO YOU PAY CHILDREN HAVE TO
PAY TO GO TO SCHOOL AND CREDIT
THEM WITH AN ECONOMY?
YEAH, SECOND POOREST COUNTRY
IN THE WORLD AND KIDS HAVE TO
SCHOOL.
WE HAVE KIDS WHEN WE FIRST GOT
THERE WERE IN THEIR TWENTIES
WERE IN BECAUSE THEY COULD ONLY
GO WHEN THEY HAD MONEY TO
ATTEND TO ATTEND SCHOOL.
WOW.
SO DO YOU FEEL LIKE IN WHAT
YOU'RE WHAT YOU'RE DOING AT
YOUR ORPHANAGE AND WITH NOW
THESE NEW FIVE CHILDREN COMING
IN THAT YOU'RE MAKING A
DIFFERENCE WHO POTENTIALLY
COULD BE THE LEADERS OF THE
COUNTRY?
OH, I KNOW IT.
I DIFFERENCE IN OUR CHILDREN'S
LIVES BECAUSE I SEE WHERE MANY
OF THEM COME FROM OF THEM COME
FROM.
SOME ARE LEFT UNDER TREES TO
DIE, YOU KNOW, DROPPED OFF
DROPPED OFF AND MET AT
MALNUTRITION CLINICS AND NOBODY
EVER COMES BACK DOESN'T MEAN
MUCH WHEN THEY'RE WHEN THEY'RE
WE WE HAVE TO INVENT BIRTH
CERTIFICATES FOR MANY OF OUR
KIDS BECAUSE THEY DON'T EVEN
DON'T EVEN KNOW THEIR NAMES OR
THEIR OR THEIR BIRTHDAYS BUT
THEY GO TO SCHOOL EVERY DAY FOR
HOURS IN FRENCH FOR HOURS IN
ENGLISH THAT WE BUILT AND OF
THEM SO FAR HAVE GOTTEN COLLEGE
SCHOLARSHIPS.
IN COLLEGE HERE IN THE STATES,
ONE'S IN MEDICAL SCHOOL.
I SAY I SAY VERY PROUDLY AND
AFTER THEY'RE DONE THEY COME
BACK AND WORK AT THE ORPHANAGE
AT THE ORPHANAGE FOR TWO YEARS
TO GIVE BACK TO IT.
SO I KNOW THAT THEIR LIVES ARE
IMPROVED AND THEY DESERVE AND
THEY DESERVE IT.
THEY'RE WONDERFUL, LOVING,
JOYOUS CHILDREN WHO JUST BY BY
ACCIDENT OF BIRTH HAPPENED TO
BE BORN THERE.
YOU KNOW, BELIEVERS I LIKE
TO LOOK AT SITUATIONS THAT ARE
CRAZY THE KNOWLEDGE AND THE
BELIEF THAT GOD CAN MAKE A
DIFFERENCE.
WHAT CAN WE DO?
DO PEOPLE HELP WITH WHAT
YOU'RE DOING?
WELL, IN OUR CASE WE THINK CAN
HELP OUR WEBSITE.
I HAVE FAITH HAITI DOT ORG BUT
THERE ARE THAT CAN HELP OUT AS
WELL AND ANYBODY THAT'S WHY I
LAUGHED WHEN THE STATE
DEPARTMENT SAID WELL WE'VE BEEN
TELLING SAID WELL WE'VE BEEN
TELLING PEOPLE NOT TO GO TO
HAITI FOR FOUR YEARS AND I SAID
DO YOU THINK THEY'RE GOING
THERE TO HAVE TO HAVE A
HONEYMOON?

SPECIAL TEACHING BY GORDON IS
THE MOST COMPREHENSIVE HEALING
THAT I HAVE EVER HEARD.
AND THEN SHEILA WHO LIVES IN
OWINGS MILLS, MARYLAND SAYS
THANK YOU GORDON FOR THIS PLAIN
BUT EFFECTIVE TEACHING.
I HOW YOU MADE IT EASY TO
UNDERSTAND AND FOLLOW IT HELPED
AND CHANGE THE WORLD THE WORLD
RIGHT FROM WHERE YOU ARE
GROWING UP KARA DALE NEVER FELT
SAFE.
A MAN WHO WHO WORSHIPED THE
DEVIL BROUGHT DARKNESS INTO HER
HOME AND THE FORCE WAS SO
POWERFUL.
IT HAUNTED HER FOR YEARS AND
ACTUALLY DROVE HER TO ATTEMPT
SUICIDE MANY TIMES.
KARA WENT TO A CHRISTIAN
CONCERT AND THAT'S AND THAT'S
WHEN SHE FELT FLOODED BY A
TOTALLY DIFFERENT FORCE.
IN MY BRAIN I WAS SCARY
SCARY MING TO GOD I HATE YOU.
I HATE YOU.
YOU.
KARA DEAL'S EARLY EXPOSURE TO
GOD IT QUICKLY FADED WHEN WHEN
HER PARENTS DIVORCED AND
STOPPED GOING TO CHURCH.
SOON AFTER AFTER A FRIGHTENING
DARKNESS ENTERED HER LIFE.
WE WE HAD A MAN THAT LIVED WITH
US AND HE BROUGHT WITH HIM
SATANIC WORSHIP AND SEANCES
CALLING OF THE DEAD AND
TEACHING US, YOU KNOW, FORMS OF
WITCHCRAFT LIKE THAT AS LITTLE
CHILDREN WE WOULD SEE WHERE THE
HOUSE AND WE KNEW SOMETHING WAS
WAS AROUND YOU WAS AROUND YOU
DIDN'T FEEL SAFE.
KARA ENDURED ABUSE AND LIVED
IN CONSTANT IN CONSTANT FEAR AS
EVIL CONSUMED THEIR HOME.
IT IT WAS LIKE THIS DARKNESS
PRESENTED ITSELF TO ME TO ME.
I COULD FEEL THIS PRESENCE THIS
THIS JUST FORCED JUST LIKE A
BLANKET JUST.
AND THERE WAS THIS EUPHORIC OF
NOT CARING ANYMORE.
KARA BEGAN DISASSOCIATING FROM
HER LIFE TO.
STILL THE TORMENT CONTINUED
.
I FELT LIKE I CRIED OUT TO GOD
ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS ME AND HE
DIDN'T.
AND AT THE AGE OF AT THE AGE OF
12 WAS MY FIRST SUICIDE
ATTEMPT.
FEELING FEELING HOPELESS AND
ALONE SHE ATTEMPTED TO TAKE HER
LIFE MULTIPLE TIMES TIMES.
WHEN I FOUND MYSELF IN
ANOTHER HOSPITAL OR IN ANOTHER
OR IN ANOTHER INSTITUTION THE
EVIDENCE TO ME WAS THAT I'M
UNLOVABLE I'M UNLOVABLE AND I'M
JUST TOO MESSED UP.
AND THEN THE SHAME THEN THE
SHAME OF THAT WHEN I WOULD COME
OUT OF THE HOSPITAL OR WHATEVER
PROGRAM OR WHATEVER PROGRAM I
WAS IN AND GO BACK TO HIGH
SCHOOL WAS YOU KNOW, I WAS THAT
GIRL WAS THAT GIRL.
AND THE THING THAT I SAW THAT
MOST WAS THE THING WAS THE
THING THAT IT WAS THE MOST
ELUSIVE TO ME.
THROUGHOUT HER HIGH SCHOOL
YEARS SCHOOL YEARS SHE USED
ALCOHOL AS ANOTHER WAY OF
NUMBING.
SHE MOVED OUT OUT AND STILL HAD
NO PEACE.
I WENT DOWN CAPE COD AND I
PARTIED AND I JUST NUMBED OUT
AND I JUST I WAS AND I SPENT
ALL MY MONEY ON PARTYING AND
THAT WAS A GOOD AND A HALF AND
I HIT ROCK BOTTOM AND I
REALIZED I'M GOING TO DIE LIKE
THIS.
PURSUING A WAY OF ESCAPE FROM
HER DARK PAST PAST.
AFTER COLLEGE SHE GOT MARRIED
AND HAD A BABY.
STILL STILL SOMETHING WAS
MISSING.
WE MOVED DOWN INTO THE BIBLE
BELT IN HOUSTON, TEXAS AND
EVERYWHERE WAS SCRIPTURE VERSES
ON CAR WASHES AND AND GAS
STATIONS I MEAN EVERYWHERE YOU
LOOK THERE WAS THIS LITTLE
VOICE INSIDE ME WAS LONGING FOR
SOMETHING THAT I KNEW WAS TRUTH
.
AND SO I WENT TO CHURCH AND
STARTED TO.
AND FOR TWO YEARS I ASKED EVERY
QUESTION EVERY QUESTION ABOUT
DINOSAURS AND THE AGE OF THE
EARTH AND WHAT ABOUT THIS AND
WHAT ABOUT THAT?
AND FINALLY ONE NIGHT WHEN I
WAS PREGNANT WITH MY SECOND SON
I WENT TO WENT TO A CONCERT AND
AFTERWARDS THEY HAD I GUESS
WHAT THEY CALLED AN ALTAR CALL
CALL.
AND THEY SAID RAISE YOUR HAND
IF YOU WANT TO HAVE SOMEONE
PRAY WITH YOU TO GIVE YOUR LIFE
TO CHRIST.
SO I RAISED MY HAND IN THIS
YOUNG GIRL CAME DOWN OFF THE
STAGE AND SHE PRAYED ME THAT I
WOULD FALL IN LOVE WITH JESUS
AND JUST LIKE THAT FORCE HAD
COME TO ME THIS WHOLE NEW MUCH
MORE.
CAUSE AND POWERFUL FORCE CAME
IN AND OVERTOOK ME AND I WAS I
WAS HEAD OVER HEELS IN LOVE AND
LOVED WITH JESUS.
CARA BEGAN STUDYING THE
BIBLE AND AS GOD'S WORD STARTED
HEALING HER.
SHE WAS INSPIRED TO SHARE WITH
OTHERS IN A UNIQUE WAY.
I THOUGHT.
I JUST NEED A WAY TO SHARE WHAT
HAPPENED TO ME THAT THEY CAN
HAVE IT TOO AND HOW AMAZING
THIS IN HEAVEN IS.
AS I WOULD READ THE BIBLE OUT
AT ME LIKE HE RESCUED YOU OUT
OF THE DEEP WATERS.
OH MY GOODNESS WOULD CHOOSE
GEMSTONES AND CRYSTALS THAT
REPRESENTED VERSE THAT WERE
HEALING ME SO AS THAT WOULD I
WOULD PUT IT TOGETHER AND
STRING TOGETHER A BUNCH A
BRACELET THEME.
SO.
SO HOPE OR FAITH.
AND THEN WHEN I WOULD WHEN I
WOULD SEE SOMEONE I WOULD SAY
HEY, LET ME SHOW THIS TO YOU.
AND AND I WOULD GO THROUGH THE
BRACELET AND THEN THERE WAS
THIS CONNECTION WHERE PEOPLE
THEIR EYES WERE OPENING AND I
COULD FEEL HOLY SPIRIT REACHING
THROUGH AND GRABBING THIS
PERSON'S HAND AND I WAS
CONNECTING PEOPLE TO GOD'S
HEART TO GOD'S HEART.
TODAY KARA HAS SHARED WITH
THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE OF PEOPLE
GOD'S STORY OF REDEMPTION
THROUGH HER CREATION BRACELETS
BRACELETS.
HE'S MY EVERYTHING AND I WANT
EVERYONE TO KNOW AND NOT ABOUT
HIM.
NOT HAVE A VERSE MEMORIZED
ABOUT HIM BUT KNOW HIM EXACT
AND WONDERFUL AND BEAUTIFUL AND
AND POWERFUL AND LOVING.
HE'S A FAMILY.
HE'S FATHER.
HE'S HE'S THE ONE WHO CAME TO
SET US FREE AND THE ONE WHO WHO
HAD THE IDEA OF US IN THE
BEGINNING WHO LOVED US ENOUGH
TO CREATE ALL OF THIS SO HAVE
ALL OF ETERNITY WITH HIM.
YOU KNOW IS JUST SO INCREDIBLE.
IT'S HARD AND YET I THINK WE
NEVER GRASP IN A DARK AND
DIFFICULT PLACE LIKE KARA WAS
WHEN WAS WHEN YOU FEEL LIKE
NONE OF IT MAKES SENSE.
LIKE WHERE.
LIKE WHERE AM I GOING?
WHAT DOES MY LIFE MATTER?
SOME OF YOU ASKED ASKED THOSE
QUESTIONS.
YOU KNOW WHAT YOU'RE SUPPOSED
TO ASK.
YOU ARE SUPPOSED TO ASK THEM
JESUS CHRIST.
IT IS CERTAINLY OUR BROTHER ONE
WHO CAME HERE AND WALKED AMONG
US BUT.
HE CAME BECAUSE WE NEEDED TO
FREE.
HE CAME BECAUSE WE NEEDED TO BE
REDEEMED.
THERE IS SO MUCH IN THE
WORLD THAT DRAWS US THAT PULLS
US AWAY FROM HIM NOT EVEN NOT
EVEN BIG SPIRITUAL THINGS LIKE
THE DARKNESS THAT KARA THAT
KARA FACED JUST BUSYNESS LIFE.
HOW ABOUT OUR OWN DREAMS?
YOU KNOW GOD ASKS US TO TURN
THOSE THINGS ALL OVER TO HIM HE
ASKS US TO TRUST HIM.
THAT'S WHAT FAITH IS REALLY.
IT'S TRUSTING THE HEART OF GOD
TO TRUST HIM TO GIVE THE BEST
BECAUSE HE CREATED US WITH THAT
.
AND THAT IS TRUE FOR YOU.
YOU KNOW, GO DOWN THAT OTHER
PATH OF NOT HE IS AND HIS LOVE
YOU CAN FEEL SO LOST LOST SO
ALONE SO ABANDONED IN THE SENSE
I THINK THAT'S WHY GOD CALLS
HIMSELF US BECAUSE WE'RE
INVITED HIM TO HIS FAMILY
FAMILY.
SOMETIMES THAT HOPELESSNESS
COMES OUT OF JUST LIKE JUST
LIKE IT DID FOR KARA WHERE WE
CAME FROM.
YOU KNOW WHAT?
IT DOESN'T MATTER MATTER WHERE
YOU CAME FROM.
TO GOD IT DOESN'T MATTER WHERE
YOU'VE BEEN OR WHAT YOU'VE
DONE.
WHAT MATTERS IS WHAT ARE YOU
GOING TO DO WITH HIM RIGHT?
RIGHT IN THIS MOMENT.
SPIRIT MAY BE TUGGING ON YOUR
HEART RIGHT NOW.
GOD NUDGING TO YOU.
LISTEN, LISTEN TO THAT VOICE.
HE'S WOOING YOU TO HE LOVES YOU
SO MUCH ONLY HEAL THOSE VERY
DEEP HURT PLACES.
ONLY GOD CAN OVERCOME THE
HARDNESS THOSE PAINFUL DEEP
PLACES THOSE PAINFUL, HURTFUL
PLACES CREATES.
YOU KNOW, WE TRY TO PROTECT TO
PROTECT OURSELVES FROM IT ALL
TODAY.
OPEN YOURSELF UP UP.
JUST OPEN YOURSELF UP.
YOU'VE GIVEN SO MANY OTHER
THINGS THAT YOUR LIFE A CHANCE
TO IMPACT YOU TODAY GIVE THE
SAME THING TO THE LORD.
JUST OPEN LIKE THIS.
LET'S PRAY TOGETHER RIGHT NOW.
JUST SAY I AM A SINNER.
WRONG.
I KNOW THERE ARE AREAS OF MY
LIFE DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT TO DO
WITH THEM TODAY TODAY I'M
BRINGING THEM TO YOU.
I AM CRAWLING UP ONTO ONTO THE
ALTAR BEFORE YOU AND SAYING DO
SOMETHING SOMETHING THAT
