TODAY ON THE 700 CLUB WELL,

WELCOME TO THE 700 CLUB.

MORE EVIDENCE OF THE UNITED

NATIONS RELIEF AND WORKS AGENCY

THAT'S OWN ROW CALABRIA

FIGHTING WITH HAMAS.

ISRAEL HAS RELEASED VIDEO OF

HAMAS TERRORISTS OPERATING NEXT

TO U.N. VEHICLES AT AN UNRUN

FACILITY IN RAFAH.

MEANWHILE, REPORTS ARE

CIRCULATING THAT THE BIDEN IS

SET TO SEND MORE THAN $1

BILLION IN WEAPONS AND

AMMUNITION TO ISRAEL.

CHRIS MITCHELL REPORTS FROM

JERUSALEM ON ISRAEL'S 76

INDEPENDENCE DAY.

ISRAELI MINISTER BENJAMIN

NETANYAHU MET WITH WOUNDED IDF

SOLDIERS.

HE SAID HE WAS IMPRESSED BY THE

MESSAGE THAT SEVERAL SOLDIERS

HIM.

CONTINUE UNTIL THE END UNTIL A

DECISIVE VICTORY OVER HAMAS.

HE ALSO SAID OCTOBER 7TH WAS A

WATERSHED MOMENT IN ISRAEL'S

HISTORY AND SEEMED NOT TO RUN.

WE ENDURED AN EVENT ON A

BIBLICAL SCALE.

OUR ENEMIES ATTACKED US EXACTLY

ON THE DAY WHEN THE PEOPLE OF

ISRAEL CELEBRATE THE COMPLETION

OF STUDY FROM GENESIS TO

DEUTERONOMY AND START AGAIN.

AS ISRAEL CELEBRATED A SOBER

INDEPENDENCE, SOME POSITIVE

NEWS CAME WITH REPORTS THAT THE

BIDED IS GOING AHEAD WITH A

$1.2 BILLION ARMS PACKAGE FOR

ISRAEL INCLUDING TANK

AMMUNITION AND MORTAR ROUNDS.

LAST WEEK BIDEN ANNOUNCED THE

U.S. WITHHELD A SHIPMENT OF

BOMBS TO PROTEST ISRAEL'S PLANS

TO INVADE RAFAH.

THE OPERATION TO ELIMINATE

HAMAS IN RAFAH CONTINUES AT A

STEADY PACE AS THE IDF SLOWLY

AGAINST THE TERROR GROUP'S LAST

BATTALIONS THERE.

HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF GAZANS

ARE FLEEING THE WAR ZONE.

ISRAEL HAS LONG ACCUSED THE

UNITED NATIONS RELIEF AND WORKS

AGENCY UNWRA OF COLLABORATING

WITH HAMAS.

NOW IT'S RELEASING VIDEO OF

HAMAS TERRORISTS OPERATING NEXT

TO U.N. VEHICLES AT A UNWRA

FACILITY IN RAFAH.

TODAY WE REVEALED UNUSUAL

DOCUMENTATION OF ARMED

TERRORISTS NEXT TO U.N.

VEHICLES THAT WERE LOCATED A

FEW DAYS AGO CARRYING OUT

SHOOTINGS INSIDE THE COMPOUND

OF UNWRA OF THE UN IN EAST

RAFAH, FOREIGN MINISTER ISRAEL

KATZ SAID ON EX THE U.N. CAN'T

HIDE THE TRUTH.

QUOTE UNWRA IS AN ARM OF THE

TERRORISTS ORGANIZATION HAMAS.

AT A CEREMONY MARKING

INDEPENDENCE DAY, PRESIDENT

ISAAC HERZOG EMPHASIZED

RECOVERING THE HOSTAGE IN GAZA

IS A TOP PRIORITY THE JEWISH

PEOPLE.

THESE DAYS WE ARE FULL OF

THE PAIN OF BEREAVEMENT PAIN

FOR THE WOUNDED, THE PAIN FOR

CIVILIANS FROM THEIR HOMES, THE

PAIN FOR THE HOSTAGES.

I REITERATE THAT THERE IS NO

GREATER MITZVAH THAN REDEEMING

THE CAPTIVES.

BUT THE FATE OF THE 132

HOSTAGES STILL IN HAMAS HANDS

SEEMS PRECARIOUS.

MEDIATORS IN QATAR SAY

NEGOTIATIONS TO REACH A

CEASEFIRE AND FREE HOSTAGES

APPEAR TO BE AT A STALEMATE.

ON TUESDAY, HAMAS FIRED ROCKETS

INTO SOUTHERN ISRAEL INCLUDING

THE ROAD WHERE THOUSANDS OF

ISRAELIS MARCHED CALLING FOR

ISRAEL TO CONTROL GAZA AFTER

WAR.

WE WANT TO TELL EVERYBODY IN

ISRAEL AND EVERYBODY IN WORLD

THAT GAZA IS VERY, VERY

IMPORTANT TO US BECAUSE IT HAS

TO BE AGAIN ISRAELI HANDS

BECAUSE IF IT WON'T IN ISRAELI

HANDS WE WON'T FINISH THE

THINGS THAT WE DOING IN THIS

WAR.

CHRIS MITCHELL, CBN

JERUSALEM.

THERE'S A DISPUTE JUST TAKE

AWAY THE FACT THAT HAMAS IS

STILL FIRING ROCKETS INTO

ISRAEL.

IT'S ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE THAT

THE WORLD WOULD BE CALLING ON

CEASEFIRE AND ISRAEL WOULD BE

THE TARGET OF THAT CALL.

WHAT ABOUT HAMAS?

CAN THEY PLEASE STOP FIRING

ROCKETS?

CAN THEY PLEASE RELEASE ALL OF

THE HOSTAGES?

CAN THEY SURRENDER WHAT THEY

DID WAS ABSOLUTELY HORRIFIC

WHAT THEY'RE CONTINUING TO DO.

ABSOLUTE HORRIFIC.

ISRAEL HAS NO CHOICE.

IF YOU'RE FIRING INTO THAT

COUNTRY, THE COUNTRY HAS TO

RESPOND.

THEY JUST CAN'T SAY WELL, I'M

SORRY.

OUR HANDS ARE TIED BY

INTERNATIONAL.

THEY ARE GOING TO HAVE TO GO IN

IN THIS BATTLE OF IDEOLOGIES

AND IT IS A BATTLE OF

IDEOLOGIES.

YOU'RE NOT GOING TO WIN THAT

BATTLE WITH ARMS NOW.

IF THEY'RE FIRING ROCKETS AT

YOU, YOU HAVE TO STOP THAT.

BUT THE IDEOLOGY HAS TO BE

ADDRESSED HEAD ON.

CURRENTLY WE'RE NOT DOING A

JOB ON THE PR SIDE OF THINGS.

WE'RE SENDING MIXED MESSAGES

AROUND THE WORLD THAT WE'RE

GOING TO WITHHOLD ALL WEAPONS

FOR ISRAEL NOW WE'RE SENDING

WEAPONS TO ISRAEL.

WE'RE GOING TO TAKE UNRWA'S

FUNDING AWAY.

THAT HAPPENED IN THE TRUMP

PRESIDENT.

TRUMP SAID THIS IS RIDICULOUS.

THEY'RE AIDING TERRORISTS.

THEY'RE TRAINING IN HATE

IDEOLOGY.

OUR TAXPAYER DOLLARS SHOULDN'T

GO TO THAT VERY WEEK OF THE

BIDEN ADMINISTRATION ALL OF

THAT FUNDING RESTORED.

AND NOW WE'RE SEEING THAT

ABSOLUTELY UNWRA IS PART OF

HAMAS.

THEY'VE BEEN TRAINING CHILDREN

IN SCHOOLS TO HATE JEWS.

THAT'S WHY YOU HAVE A HAMAS ON

A CELL PHONE ON OCTOBER CALLING

HIS PARENTS AND JUST BRAGGING

ABOUT HOW MANY JEWS HE KILLED

AND THEM CELEBRATING.

IT'S AN IDEOLOGY THAT FUELS

THIS IN OUR STRUGGLE.

LET US STAND STRONG WITH

ISRAEL.

LET'S STAND STRONG AGAINST

ANTI-SEMITISM AGAINST THIS

IDEOLOGY OF HATE THAT SAYS FROM

THE RIVER THE SEA THEY WANT TO

WIPE ISRAEL OUT.

THEY WANT TO COMMIT GENOCIDE.

THEY WANT TO KILL EVERY SINGLE

JEW.

LET US STAND ON THE SIDE OF

ISRAEL IN THIS STRUGGLE.

AND BE VERY CLEAR THIS IDEOLOGY

CANNOT SURVIVE AND ESPECIALLY

IT WON'T SURVIVE ON OUR TAX

DOLLARS.

IT'S TIME TO ABSOLUTELY END

ALL AID TO UNWRA.

ABSOLUTELY WE STAND WITH

ISRAEL.

WE STAND WITH THEM UNTIL THIS

STRUGGLE IS OVER.

IN OTHER NEWS, THE PRESIDENT

BIDEN HAS IMPOSED SWEEPING

TARIFF TARIFF HIKES ON CHINA

YESTERDAY SPECIFICALLY

TARGETING ELECTRIC VEHICLES AND

.

YOU MAY NOT KNOW THIS BUT

THERE'S CURRENTLY AN ELECTRIC

VEHICLE FOR SALE IN CHINA FOR

JUST $12,000.

IT'S IT'S BEEN CALLED THE TESLA

KILLER.

WELL, THERE'S ALSO

SEMICONDUCTORS, OTHER GOODS.

THE WHITE HOUSE ACCUSED CHINA

OF CHEATING IN ITS TRADE

POLICIES.

DALE HURD HAS THE STORY.

PRESIDENT BIDEN DEFENDED THE

NEW TARIFFS ON CHINESE PRODUCTS

SAYING THAT CHINA'S GOVERNMENT

HANDOUTS TO ITS COMPANIES MEAN

THEY DON'T HAVE TO TURN A

PROFIT GIVING THEM AN UNFAIR

ADVANTAGE IN GLOBAL TRADE.

FOR TOO LONG IT HASN'T BEEN

FAIR.

FOR YEARS THE CHINESE

GOVERNMENT HAS POURED STATE

MONEY TO CHINESE COMPANIES

ACROSS A WHOLE R

INDUSTRIES.

WHEN YOU MAKE TACTICS LIKE

THESE THEY ARE NOT COMPETING.

NO COMPETITION IS CHEATING.

BIDEN SLAPPED TARIFFS ON A

RANGE OF HIGH TECH FROM CHINESE

ELECTRIC VEHICLES ADVANCED

BATTERIES SOLAR CELLS, MEDICAL

EQUIPMENT AND ON RAW MATERIALS

LIKE STEEL AND ALUMINUM

MANUFACTURING.

A CHINESE FOREIGN MINISTRY SAID

CHINA OPPOSES UNILATERAL TARIFF

INCREASES THAT VIOLATE WTO

RULES AND WILL TAKE ALL

NECESSARY MEASURES TO SAFEGUARD

ITS LEGITIMATE RIGHTS AND

INTERESTS ON.

CBN'S FIFTH NATION.

CHINA EXPERT GORDON CHANG SAID

TARIFFS DON'T NECESSARILY MEAN

HIGHER PRICES FOR AMERICAN

BUYING CHINESE GOODS.

I THINK THAT THE THERE IS A

LOT OF EXAGGERATION WHEN PEOPLE

TALK ABOUT THE COSTS THAT ARE

TO BE IMPOSED ON AMERICAN

CONSUMERS IN 2008 CHINA

ABSORBED ABOUT THREE OF 4/5 OF

THE COST OF TRUMP TARIFFS.

THEY DID THAT THROUGH CHINESE

GOVERNMENT POLICIES AND ALSO

PRIVATE EXPORTERS ABSORB COSTS

.

SO I EXPECT THE SAME THING

TO HAPPEN THIS TIME.

THE WHITE HOUSE IS TARGETING

CHINESE GREEN TECHNOLOGY

ESPECIALLY ELECTRIC WHEN CHINA

IS LOOKING TO UNDERCUT AMERICAN

CARMAKERS WITH CHEAPER PRODUCTS

AS DEMAND FOR EVS SLOW.

FOLKS LOOK I'M DETERMINED

THAT THE FUTURE OF ELECTRIC

VEHICLES MADE IN AMERICA BY

UNITED WORKERS.

PERIOD.

YEARS AGO FORMER PRESIDENT

TRUMP SLAPPED TARIFFS ON OVER

$350 BILLION WORTH OF CHINESE

IMPORTS MOSTLY AT A 25% RATE.

BIDEN'S TARIFFS COVER ONLY

ABOUT BILLION WORTH OF IMPORTS

BUT AT A MUCH HIGHER RATE.

QUADRUPLING ELECTRIC VEHICLE

TARIFFS TO 100%.

DOUBLING THE RATE ON

SEMICONDUCTORS TO 50% AND

TRIPLING TARIFFS ON STEEL AND

ALUMINUM PRODUCTS.

WHEN JOE BIDEN WAS PRESIDENT HE

WAS A CRITIC OF TRUMP'S TARIFFS

SAYING THEY WERE CREATING MORE

PAIN FOR AMERICAN ONES.

TUESDAY TRUMP CALLED HIM OUT

FOR WAITING SO LONG WHERE HAVE

YOU BEEN FOR THREE AND A HALF

YEARS?

I SHOULD HAVE DONE IT A LONG

TIME AGO.

NOW THAT HE'S RUNNING AGAIN,

BIDEN'S FEELING THE HEAT FROM

UNIONS INDUSTRIES IN KEY SWING

STATES SUFFERING FROM UNFAIR

CHINESE TRADE PRACTICES.

A NEW POLL SHOWS BIDEN TRAILING

TRUMP BY SEVEN POINTS IN

MICHIGAN THE HOME OF THE AUTO

INDUSTRY.

DALE HURD CBN NEWS.

WELL THE ELECTRIC VEHICLES

COMING OUT OF CHINA I READ A

REPORT JUST YESTERDAY THAT IT'S

A DETROIT THAT THE COST OF

THESE VEHICLES IS SO LOW THAT

THERE'S NO WAY DETROIT CAN

COMPETE WITH THEM.

IF YOU'RE IN THE MARKET FOR A

NEW CAR NOW, YOU KNOW WHAT YOUR

INITIAL THRESHOLD IS THAT

30,000 IS THAT 40,000 WHEN YOU

CONSIDER THE AVERAGE PRICE IS

NEAR $50,000 AND THEN YOU HAVE

AN ELECTRIC VEHICLE BEING

PRODUCED IN CHINA THAT'S

GETTING RAVE REVIEWS AND IT HAS

A YOU KNOW, MILEAGE OF LIKE

OVER 260 MILES AND AND IT'S

BEING SOLD IN CHINA FOR 12,000.

IT'S BEING SOLD IN LATIN

AMERICA FOR 24,000.

WHAT WOULD IT BE SOLD FOR IN

AMERICA?

IS OPEN TO QUESTION WITH THESE

IT'S NOT GOING TO BE SOLD IN

AMERICA.

BUT IS THIS DETROIT KILLER OR

ARE WE LOOKING AT HOW DO WE

COMPLETELY REMAKE OUR

AUTOMOBILE INDUSTRY AND DO WE

HAVE THE POLITICAL WILL TO DO

THAT?

I HEAR THE POLITICAL STATEMENTS

IT NEEDS TO BE MADE IN AMERICA

NEEDS TO BE MADE BY UNION

WORKERS.

BUT THE ECONOMIC REALITY OF

BEING OUT COMPETED.

CBN NEWS ALL DAY ACROSS OUR

PLATFORMS.

WELL, U.S. FORCES DEPLOYED

GLOBAL HOTSPOTS FACE THE STRESS

OF DOING DANGEROUS JOBS,

ENORMOUS PRESSURE.

THEY ALSO SUFFER LONG

SEPARATIONS THEIR FAMILIES AND

THAT'S WHY MILITARY CHAPLAINS

SERVE ALONGSIDE THEM.

REAR ADMIRAL GREGORY TODD KNOWS

WHAT IT'S LIKE TO BE A

SPIRITUAL FIRST RESPONDER FOR

THE MEN AND WOMEN OF US

MILITARY.

CALLED TO BE A PASTOR

ADMIRAL GREGORY TODD BEGAN HIS

CAREER SERVING A MORE

TRADITIONAL FLOCK THEN AFTER

SIX YEARS FELT GOD CALLING HIM

TO SOMETHING.

THE U.S. NAVY.

TODD INITIALLY TO ONLY FULFILL

A FOUR YEAR TOUR IN THE NAVY'S

CHAPLAIN CORPS A POSITION THAT

ALSO COVERS THE MARINES AND

COAST GUARD.

NOW MORE THAN 30 YEARS LATER,

HE'S STILL ON THE JOB HAVING

SERVED AS A CHAPLAIN IN ALL

THREE BRANCHES RESPONDING TO

GROUND ZERO AFTER 911 AND

DEPLOYING TO BOTH IRAQ AND

AFGHANISTAN.

AS THE NAVY'S CHIEF OF

CHAPLAINS, TODD ADVISES THE

HEADS OF THE NAVY, COAST GUARD

AND MARINE CORPS ON ALL MATTERS

TO RELIGION.

WITH MENTAL HEALTH ISSUES ON

THE RISE AND THREATENING

MEMBERS ACROSS THE BOARD, TODD

SAYS THERE'S A GROWING FOCUS ON

SPIRITUAL READINESS WITHIN THE

MILITARY AND THE CHAPLAIN CORPS

CAN BE THE TIP OF THE SPEAR.

WHILE REAR ADMIRAL TODD IS

HERE WITH US NOW AND I JUST

HAVE TO SAY THANK YOU FOR BEING

WITH US.

I'M HONORED TO HAVE YOU ON THE

SHOW.

PLEASURE TO BE HERE.

SO HOW DID FOUR YEARS TURN

INTO 30?

YOU KNOW, IT SNEAKS UP ON YOU,

DOESN'T IT?

BUT I HAVE TO BE HONEST, IT

REALLY WAS THE PEOPLE I GET TO

WORK WITH.

THESE YOUNG PEOPLE, SAILORS,

MARINES, COAST GUARDSMEN, THEIR

FAMILIES THEY KIND OF GET UNDER

YOUR SKIN AND YOU JUST WANT TO

DO YOU CAN TO HELP THEM.

WELL, AS A CHAPLAIN OVER THE

PAST 30 YEARS WHAT'S BEEN THE

NUMBER ONE ISSUE YOU SEE THE

SERVICE MEMBER?

YEAH.

YOU KNOW, IT'S IT'S THE GENERAL

YOUNG PEOPLE ISSUE.

YOU KNOW YOU ARE BUILDING

FAMILIES GROWING UP, YOU'RE

MATURING AND YOU'RE AWAY FROM

HOME.

SO TO DRAW ALONGSIDE THESE

YOUNG PEOPLE AND TO KIND BE A

COACH, KIND OF BE A MENTOR,

KIND OF BE A SPIRITUAL GUIDE

THAT SEEMS TO BE THE GENERAL

ROLE OF THE CHAPLAIN NOW.

YEAH, ONE OF THE ALARMING

THINGS FOR ME YOU KNOW, WE LIVE

IN A NAVY TOWN AND JUST TO HEAR

OF THE NUMBER OF SUICIDES THERE

WAS AN AIRCRAFT CARRIER THAT

WAS IN REPAIRS AND AND THE

SUICIDE RATE JUST SEEMED TO

SKYROCKET.

RIGHT.

WHY IS THAT?

WHAT'S WHAT'S HAPPENING WITH

THE MENTAL HEALTH IN OUR

SERVICE?

YEAH, THAT'S A THAT'S A

CHALLENGING QUESTION FOR US

BECAUSE WE'RE DIVING IN TO TRY

TO FIND IT BUT I WOULD SUGGEST

THERE ARE SOME THINGS THAT WE

CAN LOOK AT SOME OF THE

TRADITIONAL THINGS THAT WERE IN

PLACE IN OUR SOCIETY THAT BUILT

RESILIENCE IN PEOPLE STRENGTH

OF THE CHURCH, STRENGTH OF

ORGANIZATIONS LIKE, THE BOY

SCOUTS AND GIRL SCOUTS,

STRENGTH OF SCHOOLS FOOTBALL

TEAMS, SPORTS LEAGUES THAT SORT

OF THING THAT HELPED BUILD

RESILIENCE IN OUR YOUNG PEOPLE

AND THOSE HAVE BECOME LESS AND

LESS OVER THE YEARS.

AND SO THESE ARE GREAT KIDS

THEY'RE GREAT YOUNG PEOPLE THAT

JOIN THE MILITARY.

BUT THOSE RESILIENCY ELEMENTS

HAVE NOT NECESSARILY THERE FOR

THEM.

SO IT HAS DEMANDED THAT WE AS A

MILITARY KIND OF STEP IN AND

HELP THEM BUILD THEIR

RESILIENCY.

I'LL SUM UP WHAT YOU JUST SAID

WITH A WORD JUST CAME TO ME.

COMMUNITY.

YES.

HAVE WE LOST AND THAT COMMUNITY

SUPPORT FOR PEOPLE ARE SERVING

THE COUNTRY?

I DON'T KNOW IF WE'VE LOST

IT BUT THERE'S JUST KIND OF

IGNORANCE WHERE FOLKS ARE NOT

AS CONNECTED TO OUR MILITARY AS

WE'VE HAD IN THE PAST AND THAT

CONNECTION THAT THAT SUPPORT.

THEY JUST DON'T THEY JUST DON'T

KNOW AND THAT'S KIND OF WHAT

WE'RE TRYING TO SAY IS HEY,

NAVY CHAPLAINCY IS AN AMAZING

MINISTRY BUT I DON'T THINK A

LOT OF PEOPLE KNOW ABOUT IT.

FOR ME MY IGNORANCE

SHATTERED 15 YEARS AGO AND SO

IT'S SORT OF THERE'S BEEN

ONE OF THE LONGEST WARS IN U.S.

HISTORY THE WAR AFGHANISTAN AND

IRAQ AND I KEPT HEARING ABOUT

MULTIPLE DEPLOYMENTS.

RIGHT.

AND AND CHILDREN LITERALLY

GROWING UP WITHOUT A PARENT OR

A MARRIAGE WITHOUT A SPOUSE FOR

EXTENDED.

AND WHEN YOU START SAYING NINE

TOURS.

YEAH.

IT REALLY BECOMES UNIMAGINABLE

.

YEAH.

AND I RESOLVED THAT I HAD TO DO

SOMETHING AND YOU KNOW WHATEVER

,I COULD DO I COULD AT LEAST

TAKE CARE OF ALL THIS FAMILY.

I COULD TAKE OF I COULD TAKE

CARE OF A CHURCH WHO IS TAKING

CARE OF FAMILIES.

WHAT WOULD YOU TELL PEOPLE

WATCHING NOW WHO LIVE IN

MILITARY TOWNS?

WHAT SHOULD WHAT SHOULD THEY DO

AND HOW DO THEY CONNECT THE

CHAPLAINS?

YEAH, I THINK THERE IS A

TREMENDOUS OPPORTUNITY FOR

COMMUNITIES OF FAITH TO REACH

OUT TO THE MILITARY FAMILIES.

YOU KNOW, WHEN YOU'RE AWAY FROM

HOME YOU HAVE YOUR FAMILY THERE

TO SURROUND YOU.

FAMILIES OF FAITH CAN DO THAT

FOR OUR MILITARY FAMILIES.

SOME SIMPLE THINGS HELPING WITH

THE KIDS CHILDCARE ISSUES.

BUT JUST DURING DEPLOYMENTS YOU

KNOW YOU TALKED ABOUT THE WAR

IN IRAQ AND AFGHANISTAN.

WE STILL HAVE DEPLOYMENTS.

THE NAVY IS STILL DEPLOYING.

WE'RE STILL ACTUALLY IN THE RED

SEA.

FIRST TIME SINCE WORLD WAR TWO

THAT WE HAVE SHIPS IN COMBAT AT

SEA AND WE JUST BROUGHT BACK

USS KARNI.

THEY DID A GREAT JOB THERE BUT

THEY WERE IN COMBAT.

AND SO THE CARE FOR THE FAMILY

THE CARE FOR THE SERVICE MEMBER

WHEN THEY COME BACK AND REALLY

IN SIMPLY TO THANK THEM TO

SUPPORT THEM IN THE MISSION

THAT THEY HAVE.

I THINK A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE

IGNORANT JUST OF.

YEAH IT WAS AMAZING TO ME TO

HEAR A STATEMENT FROM THE NAVY

SECRETARY.

THIS IS THE MOST ENGAGED THE US

NAVY HAS BEEN SINCE WORLD WAR

TWO.

ABSOLUTELY.

WHICH COVERS A LOT OF.

THAT'S A LOT I MEAN YOU'VE GOT

KOREA.

YOU'VE GOT VIETNAM IN THERE.

RIGHT AND THEN THE IRAQ AND AND

TO SAY RIGHT NOW IN THE RED SEA

IS THE GREATEST CONFLICT HAD.

RIGHT.

WELL WHY ARE WE SO IGNORANT

THAT.

YOU KNOW THAT'S A GREAT

QUESTION BECAUSE OUR ARE DOING

SUCH AMAZING THINGS OVER 100

MISSILES IN BOUND AT SHIPS IN

THE RED SEA.

AND YET OUR NAVY SAILORS SHOT

DOWN ALL OF THEM OR MOST OF

THEM AND ARE PROTECTING

SHIPPING IN THE RED SEA,

PROTECTING OUR SHIPS,

PROTECTING OUR FREEDOM OF

NAVIGATION AT SEA.

THOSE ARE IMPORTANT THINGS FOR

FOR THE ECONOMY BUT ALSO FOR

OUR WAY OF LIFE.

HOW CAN PEOPLE IF THEY'RE IN

A MILITARY TOWN TAKING OF THE

FAMILIES TAKING CARE OF

RETURNING SOLDIERS, RETURNING

SERVICEMEN BUT HOW CAN PEOPLE

WHO ARE NOT A MILITARY TOWN HOW

CAN THEY PRAY FOR BOTH THE

ACTIVE AND FOR THEIR FAMILY?

YOU KNOW, I WOULD ASK FOR

PRAYERS FOR MORE CHAPLAINS.

THAT'S A IT'S AN AMAZING TIME

WE'RE IN RIGHT NOW BECAUSE THE

THE NAVY, THE MARINE CORPS, THE

COAST GUARD HAVE SAID WE NEED

CHAPLAINS.

WE HAVE INCREDIBLE SUPPORT AND

LEADERSHIP.

AND SO WE'RE TO AND TRYING TO

GROW THE NAVY CHAPLAIN CORPS

AND YET WE'RE HAVING TROUBLE

WITH RECRUITING.

WE NEED MORE CHAPLAINS,

ADVENTUROUS CLERGY THAT WANT TO

BE PART OF YOUNG PEOPLE'S LIVES

AND HELP THEM THROUGH THIS

CHALLENGE.

WELL, GIVE TESTIMONY YOU

HAVE BEEN PART OF SOME

SIGNIFICANT THINGS WHETHER IT

WAS 911.

YOU WERE THERE IN AFGHANISTAN

FOR YOU AS A CHAPLAIN.

WHAT WAS IT LIKE IN THE

FIELD?

IT IT WAS CHALLENGING.

YOU KNOW, YOU'RE SHARING THE

LIFE OF YOUR MARINES, YOUR

SAILORS, YOUR COAST GUARDSMEN,

YOU'RE ALONGSIDE OF THEM.

SO SHARING ALL OF THEIR

CHALLENGES BUT YOU'RE THERE

WITH WITH THE LORD, YOU'RE

THERE THAT GOD IS HERE AND THE

IMPACT THAT ON THESE YOUNG

PEOPLE YOU CANNOT UNDERSTATE.

IT'S AMAZING.

YOU KNOW, A CHAPLAIN DOES NOT

CARRY A WEAPON OUT IN COMBAT.

THEY ARE UNARMED AND I HAD

SEVERAL MARINES LOOK AT ME AND

SAID, CHAPLAIN, WHERE'S YOUR

WEAPON?

THEY'RE ALL WORRIED ME.

I SAID, MY FRIEND, I'M IN I'M

IN A SAFE RIGHT NOW.

YOU KNOW THE LORD IS HERE.

BESIDES, I'M SURROUNDED BY 2000

MARINES SO THAT'S HELPFUL TOO.

BUT THE TESTIMONY OF OUR FAITH

VOLUMES.

AND THE THE THE THE BAPTISMS

YOU'RE ABLE TO DO OUT THERE AND

THE CONNECTION PUTTING PEOPLE

CONNECTED TO THE LORD IS

POWERFUL.

WELL, YOU JUST HEARD IT FROM

HERE, GREGORY TODD.

THE WEAPONS OF OUR WARFARE

NOT CARNAL BUT THEY'RE MIGHTY.

SO PLEASE PRAY FOR OUR DUTY

MILITARY.

PLEASE PRAY THAT GOD WOULD

SUPPLY MORE CHAPLAINS FOR

SERVICE.

AND IF YOU'RE IN THE MILITARY

TOWN, COULD YOU PLEASE CHECK

OUT A MILITARY FAMILY OR

ENCOURAGE CHURCH TO ADOPT A

MILITARY FAMILY TRUST?

THERE'S A WHOLE LOT MORE MONEY

THAN MONEY FOR YOUR AVERAGE

SERVICE FAMILY AND THEY NEED

OUR HELP.

THEY NEED OUR HELP WITH

COMMUNITY WITH BASICS LIKE

CHILD CARE BUT THEY ALSO NEED

HELP JUST PUTTING FOOD ON THE

TABLE AND PAYING THEM MORTGAGE

OR THE RENT PAYMENT.

THEY OUR HELP LET'S STAND WITH

THEM AND LET THEM KNOW THAT

WE'RE WITH THEM.

WELL, REAR ADMIRAL GREGORY

TODD, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR

CALL NOW HAVE YOU EVER WONDERED

WHAT'S IT LIKE TO BE A PASTOR'S

WIFE?

WELL, HERE'S THE HONEST TRUTH

FROM THREE OF THEM.

SOMETIMES FEEL THE ONLY THING

HOLY ABOUT THEM ARE THEIR

GENES.

BEING A P.O.W. CAN BE DIFFICULT

AND IT'S OFTEN MESSY BUT IT'S

ALSO GREATEST JOURNEY OF THEIR

LIVES.

OFTEN OVERLOOKED IS THE

IMMENSE CHALLENGE OF BEING IN

FULL TIME CHRISTIAN MINISTRY

AND THE TOLL IT CAN TAKE ON

BOTH INDIVIDUAL AND THEIR

FAMILY.

MEET STEPHANIE JANA AND JESSICA

NOT YOUR AVERAGE PASTORS WIVES

BUT A TRIO OF BESTIES BREAKING

BARRIERS IN THE WORLD OF.

TOGETHER THEY'VE LAUNCHED A

PODCAST AND WRITTEN THE EYE

OPENING BOOK.

PASTORS WIVES TELL ALL THESE

FEARLESS WOMEN AREN'T AFRAID TO

TACKLE THE TOUGH TOPICS

SHATTERING AND DELVING INTO THE

UNSPOKEN STRUGGLES OF MINISTRY

.

AND AMIDST IT ALL THEY INFUSE

PLENTY OF JESUS AND A WHOLE LOT

OF DANCE AND LAUGHTER.

ALL RIGHT.

THIS IS GOING TO BE A FUN ONE.

STEPHANIE GILBERT, JENNA ALLEN

AND JESSICA TAYLOR ARE HERE

WITH ME NOW.

GUYS, WELCOME TO THE 700

CLUB BECAUSE LIKE I SAID, WE'RE

GOING TO HAVE TOO MUCH FUN BUT

WE'RE GOING TO GET TO THE GOODS

TOO.

YOU GUYS JUST CAME OUT WITH A

BOOK PASTORS WIVES TELL ALL

NAVIGATING REAL CHURCH LIFE

HONESTY AND HUMOR.

WHY WAS IT SO IMPORTANT YOU

GUYS TO NUMBER ONE WRITE THIS

BOOK?

THE NUMBER TWO TEAR DOWN THE

PEDESTALS THAT PASTOR'S WIVES

ARE PUT ON.

THERE SHOULD NEVER BE A

PEDESTAL THAT WERE PUT ON THE

PEDESTAL IS FOR JESUS CHRIST

ALONE AND WE ARE JUST HERE TO

SERVE HIM RIGHT.

AND WE HAVE GOTTEN THIS

WRONG FOR SO MANY YEARS AND WE

WANTED TO SEE THIS DAMAGE

UNDONE AND WE WANT TO BE A PART

OF THAT CHANGE AND WE WANT TO

SEE A HEALTHY CHURCH GROWTH.

YEAH.

AND YOU GUYS ALSO HAVE A

PODCAST TOO.

SO LIKE.

FIRST LET'S MAYBE LET'S GO BACK

A LITTLE BIT.

HOW DID YOU ALL EVEN COME TO BE

THIS LIKE TRIFECTA AMAZING

TRIO?

TALK ABOUT THAT TOO.

SO JENNA I HAVE KNOWN EACH

OTHER FOR QUITE A FEW YEARS AND

OUR ACTUALLY SERVED TOGETHER IN

OUR YOUTH MINISTRY AT A CHURCH

THAT WE USED TO BE AT.

AND THEN WE MET STEPHANIE A

FEW YEARS LATER AND IT WAS JUST

LOVE AT FIRST TALK ON THE PHONE

AND IT WAS IT WAS YOU GOT OFF

THE PHONE I SAID I REALLY WANT

TO BE MY FRIEND.

I TOLD MY HUSBAND THAT YOU

KNOW, USUALLY FRIENDSHIPS IS

LIKE DATING AND IT'S FUNNY

BECAUSE FROM THERE WE MET

BECAUSE THERE WAS A CONFERENCE

THAT I THOUGHT GOD WAS CALLING

ME TO PUT ON TO BRING THE

CHURCH TOGETHER ALTHOUGH I

DIDN'T QUITE HEAR HIM RIGHT.

I TRIED TO MAKE HAPPEN BUT

BECAUSE OF THAT CONFERENCE THAT

NEVER HAPPENED BECAUSE OF COVID

2020 I ENDED UP MEETING THESE

TWO BECAUSE THEY WERE GOING TO

BE APART AND HELPING AND THEN

FROM THERE DON'T KNOW ONE DAY I

JUST LOOKED AT THEM AND I SAID

YOU KNOW HOW YOU JUST DON'T

FEEL LIKE FIT AS A PASTOR'S

WIFE?

LIKE WHAT KIND OF WEIRD

YEAH, WE ARE DIFFERENT YOU

KNOW, LIKE WE'RE NOT PERFECT OR

ANYTHING.

I SAID WHAT IF WE STARTED A

PODCAST CALLED THE VERY WORST

PREACHER'S WIFE AND THEN I WAS

LIKE, RIGHT, YOU KNOW, THAT

COULD BE FUN.

AND THEY THEY SURPRISINGLY LIKE

GO FOR REAL, LET'S DO IT.

THEN JESSICA SHE GOES, GUYS,

I GOT IT.

IT'S PASTOR'S WIFE SO I LOVE

THAT.

WHAT DO YOU GUYS TALK ABOUT

THE HEART OF THE PODCAST.

LIKE WHAT IS THE HEART OF WHAT

YOU GUYS TALK?

ALL THAT STUFF.

WE WANT PEOPLE WE WANT PASTORS,

WIVES AND MINISTRY LEADERS TO

KNOW THAT YOU'RE NOT ALONE.

WE'RE HUMAN.

WE RIGHT?

WE MAKE MISTAKES.

YOU CAN BE GOOFY LIKE NOT

EVERYBODY IS THE SAME AND I

FEEL LIKE WE JUST GREW UP WITH

THIS IDEA THAT LIKE ALL

MINISTRY LEADERS WERE SERIOUS

ALL THE TIME.

IF YOU WEREN'T THEN IT WAS LIKE

TABOO THAT YOU COULDN'T CRACK A

JOKE DANCE OR HAVE A TATTOO,

YOU KNOW?

SO THERE'S SO MANY THINGS THAT

WE TALK ABOUT THROUGH THIS

PODCAST FRIENDSHIPS, COMMUNITY

I MEAN YOU NAME IT CHURCH IS IN

THERE.

YEAH.

AND ONE OF THE THINGS THAT I

THINK IS SO AWESOME ABOUT YOU

GUYS AND WHY SO PEOPLE LOVE YOU

AND APPRECIATE ALL THAT YOU

GUYS ARE DOING THROUGH THE

PODCAST AND OBVIOUSLY THE BOOK

TOO IS YOU ARE UNASHAMED OF

BEING WHO YOU ARE AND WHO GOD

HAS CALLED YOU TO BE.

HOW HAS THAT HELPED YOU GUYS

NAVIGATE ALL OF THE CHALLENGES

OF ACTUALLY BEING PASTORS

WIVES.

YEAH, I THINK THAT WE REALLY

JUST HAVE TO KNOW WHO OUR

IDENTITY LIES IN AND THAT WAS

HARD UNTIL I GOT IN MY THIRTIES

TO REALLY KNOW WHO HE HAS

CALLED ME TO BE AND THEN TO

WALK IN THAT FREELY.

BUT THEN AS FRIENDS LIKE

WALKING TOGETHER AND JUST BEING

OURSELVES IS SUCH A BEAUTIFUL

THING AND THEN INTO THE CHURCH.

LIKE IF I ACT LIKE I'M SOMEONE

I'M NOT THEN I'M NOT GOING TO

BE ABLE TO HELP AND SERVE THE

WAY THE LORD HAS CALLED TO DO.

AND SO IT REALLY HELPED IN MY

THIRTIES THAT GOD REALLY JUST

CHANGED MY HEART AND I STARTED

TO BE MYSELF TO BE MORE

VULNERABLE BECAUSE IT IS HARD

FOR ME TO BE VULNERABLE AND NOT

REALLY GREAT AT THAT.

BUT WHEN I STARTED TO DO

THAT AND STARTED TO WALK IN WHO

GOD HAS CREATED ME TO BE MY

CHANGE WITHIN THE CHURCH I

STARTED TO TRUST MORE AND WALLS

WERE BROKEN DOWN AND I HAVE SO

MUCH CHANGE WITHIN OUR

COMMUNITY AT OUR CHURCH AND

WITHIN MY FRIENDSHIPS FOR SURE.

THAT'S AWESOME.

WELL, I ALSO WANTED TO ASK YOU

GUYS OBVIOUSLY HEAR SO MUCH

ABOUT THE PASTORS CALLING LIKE

IT IS A SPECIFIC CALLING FOR

THE LEAD PASTOR HEAD PASTOR.

WHAT ABOUT THE PASTOR'S WIFE

LIKE ARE THE CALLINGS THE SAME

OR THEY SIMILAR?

ARE THEY DIFFERENT LIKE WHAT

YOU GUYS EXPERIENCED BEING

PASTORS WIVES?

IT DEPENDS ON.

SO SOME OF US FEEL VERY

CALLED LIKE I FEEL TO YOUTH

MINISTRY JUST LIKE MY HUSBAND

DOES.

BUT I KNOW OTHER PASTORS WIVES

WHO FULLY THAT THEY ARE CALLED

TO BE AT HOME WITH THEIR

CHILDREN AND THAT IS THEIR MAIN

FOCUS AND JUST TO SUPPORT THEIR

HUSBAND IN HIS ROLE AND MAYBE

THEY'RE CALLED TO SOMETHING

COMPLETELY DIFFERENT.

MAYBE THEY'RE DOING PHOTOGRAPHY

,THEY'RE DOING IT IN JESUS

NAME AND THAT'S OKAY.

YEAH, WE ALL ARE

INDIVIDUALS.

YEAH WE'RE A COUPLE BUT WE HAVE

INDIVIDUAL CALLINGS.

THAT'S IMPORTANT.

YEAH, THAT'S POWERFUL.

WELL, HOW DO YOU GUYS BALANCE

THE DEMANDS OF BEING A PASTOR

BUT, NOT JUST A PASTOR'S WIFE

LIKE YOU GUYS ARE MINISTRY

LEADERS AS.

WELL.

HOW DO YOU BALANCE THE DEMANDS

BUT ALSO LIKE UNPLUG AND REALLY

FIND REST AND ALL OF THAT?

OH MY GOODNESS.

IT'S HARD.

IT'S HARD AND WE'RE STILL

WORKING ON THAT.

BUT FOR ME PERSONALLY, LIKE MY

HUSBAND AND I HAVE TO MAKE SURE

WE'RE COMMUNICATING VERY WELL

ABOUT ALL THE THINGS THAT WE'RE

DOING AND WE HAVE TO MAKE SURE

THAT WE'RE PRAYING THROUGH ALL

THE THINGS THAT WE'RE DOING

BECAUSE NOT EVERY SINGLE THING

THAT YOU FEEL LIKE IS A GOD

THING IS IT MIGHT BE A GOOD

THING BUT.

IS IT SOMETHING THAT GOD'S

CALLED YOU TO IN THAT SEASON?

AND I THINK THAT A HUGE

DIFFERENCE BECAUSE YOU'RE GOING

TO GET BURNT OUT IF YOU'RE JUST

GOING GO AND GOING IF YOU'RE

DOING ALL OF THESE REALLY GOOD

THINGS.

SO YOU'VE GOT TO REALLY PRAY

ABOUT GOD HAS FOR YOU IN THIS

SEASON OF YOUR LIFE AND THEN

RUN WITH THAT AND PRACTICALLY A

CALENDAR LIKE WE HAVE CALENDARS

THAT WE SHARE WITH OUR HUSBANDS

AND WITH EACH OTHER JUST TO

KNOW OKAY, THIS IS WHAT'S GOING

ON.

SORRY I HAVE TO SAY NO TO THIS

BECAUSE THIS IS MY FAMILY TOO

AND I HAVE TO SPEND TIME WITH

MY FAMILY.

YEAH UNPLUGGING IS QUALITY

VERSUS QUANTITY SO DEFINITELY

MAKING SURE THAT EVEN IF HAVE

15 MINUTES IT'S GOING TO BE THE

BEST 50 MINUTES.

YEAH, I CAN GIVE YOU SO

DEFINITELY THAT AND JUST HAVING

FUN YEAH THAT'S ANYHOW WE

STARTED INSPIRING TRAVELING.

YEAH ALL THE THINGS REALLY

THAT I LOVE THAT AND OBVIOUSLY

SO MANY PEOPLE LOVE AND

APPRECIATE YOU GUYS BECAUSE YOU

JUST BRING HUMOR YOU BRING

HUMOR INTO IT.

I LOVE ALL THE DANCES LIKE

THE FUNNY VIDEOS YOU GUYS DO.

I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THAT.

KEEP DOING THAT DON'T STOP.

DON'T CHANGE THAT.

I WANTED TO ALSO ASK GUYS ABOUT

CHURCH HEARD YOU DON'T SHY AWAY

FROM THAT IN THE BOOK.

YOU DON'T SHY AWAY FROM THAT IN

THE PODCAST.

HOW HAVE YOU GUYS NUMBER

ONE EXPERIENCED THAT BUT ALSO

HOW HAVE YOU BEEN ABLE TO

OVERCOME THAT AND HELP OTHERS

WHO ARE FACING THAT?

I THINK THAT I COULD HAVE

NEVER IMAGINED THAT THE LORD

WOULD USE SOME OF THE WORST

PAIN IN MY LIFE AND MY

HUSBAND'S LIFE FOR HIS GLORY.

AND SO WE HAVE HAD A LOT OF

CHURCH HURT BUT NOW BEING ABLE

TO SHARE WHAT GOD DID THROUGH

THAT.

I THINK THE MAIN MESSAGE THAT I

WOULD PEOPLE IS THAT WE ARE

GOING TO HURT PEOPLE AND IT'S

GOING TO HAPPEN AND WE ARE

MESSY AND THE CHURCH IS MESSY

BUT I HAD TO REMEMBER DURING

OUR CHURCH CHURCH HURT THAT

EXODUS 1414 SAYS TO BE STILL

AND THE LORD WILL FIGHT FOR YOU

.

AND SO I HAD TO KNOW THAT NO

MATTER WHAT WE GO THROUGH HE'S

GOING TO FIGHT FOR US AND NOT

TO LEAVE THE CHURCH TRYING

HEALING AND COUNSELING BUT GET

BACK INVOLVED.

YOU KNOW IT MIGHT BE AT A

DIFFERENT CHURCH IT NEEDS TO BE

IF IT'S AN UNHEALTHY BUT TO GET

BACK INVOLVED BECAUSE WE ARE

CALLED TO BE PART OF THE BODY.

AMEN AND LISTEN, AIN'T

NOBODY PERFECT.

NOBODY IS ALL BROKEN.

WHAT DOES THAT EXCUSE GET YOU

KNOW CERTAIN THINGS BUT WE'RE

DEFINITELY NOT PERFECT.

LAST QUESTION I WANT TO LEAVE

YOU GUYS WITH IS WHAT WORD OF

ENCOURAGEMENT WOULD YOU GIVE TO

YOUNG FEMALE LEADERS OUT THERE

WHETHER THEY'RE A PASTOR'S WIFE

OR NOT?

BECAUSE I'M TELLING YOU THIS

BOOK IS NOT JUST FOR PASTORS

WIVES, IT'S FOR MINISTRY

LEADERS AND WOMEN ARE IN

MINISTRY AND ARE CALLED TO

MINISTRY.

WHAT WE'RE ENCOURAGEMENT WOULD

YOU GIVE THEM?

I THINK ONE OF THE BIGGEST

THINGS IS TO FIND OUT WE KEEP

SAYING IDENTITY BUT.

YOU'RE NOT GOING BE ABLE TO

DO ANYTHING IF YOU DO NOT KNOW

WHO YOU ARE AND SO UNTIL I KNOW

WHO I AM AND WHO HE'S CALLED ME

TO, I'M GOING TO BE LOOKING TO

THE RIGHT OR THE LEFT TRYING TO

FIGURE OUT AND TRY TO BE LIKE

SO-AND-SO OVER HERE AND SO AND

SO OVER THERE I NEED TO LEARN

HOW TO BE WHO GOD'S CREATED ME

TO BE.

SO LEARN LEARN THE THINGS THAT

MAKE YOU TICK, LEARN YOUR

PASSIONS, GIFTEDNESS AND HOW

GOD CAN USE THOSE FOR HIS

GLORY.

IT DOESN'T MATTER HOW SMALL OR

BIG BEHIND THE SCENES OR UP AT

FRONT LIKE BECAUSE CONFIDENT

AND KNOW THAT YOU ARE LOVED IN

THAT YOU ARE CALLED AND STOP

LIVING IN THE SHADOWS WHERE THE

ENEMY WANTS YOU AND START TO

COME INTO THE LIGHT WHERE HE

HAS CALLED YOU TO BE LIVING IN

FREEDOM AND IT WILL BE A

WONDERFUL JOURNEY COME INTO THE

LIFE.

THUMBS UP OR THUMBS DOWN.

ALMOST A YEAR AFTER HER

ACCIDENT SHE HADN'T SPOKEN A.

STILL HER PARENTS HELD OUT HOPE

NOT ONLY WOULD THEIR DAUGHTER

TALK AGAIN, SHE WOULD TELL THE

WORLD ABOUT GOD'S MIRACLE

WORKING POWER.

ON OCTOBER 30TH, 2018,

ONE PHONE CALL COMPLETELY

UPENDED THE LIVES OF THE

PELIKAN FAMILY.

WE WERE GOING TO GO TOMANS BUT

ALL OF A SUDDEN JUST QUIT

TEXTING BACK AND SAID

UNIVERSITY

MY HEART SUNK RIGHT THEN AND

THERE BECAUSE I KNEW I JUST

STARTED PRAYING AND I JUST KEPT

SLAMMING HANDS ON THE STEERING

WHEEL JUST TRYING TO GET TO

HER.

SHERRY'S FIRST CALL WAS TO HER

HUSBAND DENNIS, THEIR 20 YEAR

OLD DAUGHTER JACQUELINE AND HER

BOYFRIEND WERE PULLING OUT AT A

BUSY WHEN A LARGE TRUCK SLAMMED

INTO THE PASSENGER SIDE OF

THEIR JEEP WHERE JACQUELINE WAS

SITTING TO ANSWER THE CALL.

HEY, BABE, HOW'S IT GOING?

AND IT'S NOT HEY, BABE, YOU'RE

GOING.

IT'S HEY, BABE.

WE GOT A PROBLEM.

RESCUE PERSONNEL RUSHED

JACQUELINE TO UNIVERSITY

MEDICAL CENTER IN EL PASO,

TEXAS WHERE HER PARENTS ARRIVED

SHORTLY AFTER.

ALTHOUGH HER BOYFRIEND OUT WITH

MINOR INJURIES, JACQUELINE

SUFFERED NUMEROUS INJURIES AND

FRACTURES AND A TRAUMATIC BRAIN

INJURY.

SHE WASN'T EXPECTED LIVE MUCH

LONGER TO PROCESS SOMEBODY

TELLING YOUR DAUGHTER IS NOT

GOING TO SURVIVE DOESN'T SET IN

BECAUSE LIKE THIS CAN'T HAPPEN

TO US.

I JUST SAW JACQUELINE, YOU KNOW

,HOURS AGO AT HOME.

HOW CAN WE ALREADY BE HERE IN A

HOSPITAL WITH HER FIGHTING FOR

HER LIFE IN SURGERY?

DOCTORS HAD REMOVE TWO PORTIONS

OF JACQUELINE'S SKULL TO

RELIEVE PRESSURE ON THE BRAIN.

HOURS LATER SHERRY AND DENNIS

WERE ALLOWED TO SEE JACQUELINE

WHO WAS NOW IN A MEDICALLY

INDUCED COMA.

IT DIDN'T LOOK LIKE JACQUELINE

TUBES.

EVERY PORTION OF HER BODY

COMING OUT.

HER HEAD WAS SWOLLEN.

OUR EYES ARE BRUISED.

IT DIDN'T LOOK LIKE HER AT ALL

.

DOCTORS DID NOT KNOW HOW MUCH

MORE TIME JACQUELINE HAD IF

ANY.

EVEN IF SO, THEY WERE CERTAIN

SHE WOULD NEVER BE YOURSELF

AGAIN.

THEY TOLD US BECAUSE OF THE

SEVERE DAMAGE AND THE SWELLING

THAT, JACQUELINE WOULD BE IN A

VEGETATIVE STATE FOR THE REST

OF HER LIFE.

I KEPT JUST PRAYING, YOU KNOW,

GOD JUST KEEP JACQUELINE COOPER

WITH US.

ABOUT THREE DAYS LATER,

SHERRY SAYS SHE WAS PRAYING FOR

HER DAUGHTER WHEN SHE RECEIVED

A WORD FROM GOD.

TOLD ME JACQUELINE WOULD BE

RECOVERED AND SHE WOULD HAVE A

FOUNDATION AND SHE BRING

THOUSANDS TO HIM THROUGH HER

TESTIMONY PRAYERS AFTER THAT

PRAYER, EVERYTHING BECAUSE IT

WAS NOW WE HAD THIS HOPE.

WE HAD THIS GOD BIG GOD

STANDING BESIDE US.

TWO MONTHS JACQUELINE ON

BEFORE SHE WAS TRANSPORTED TO

TEER MEMORIAL IN HOUSTON, A

HOSPITAL THAT SPECIALIZES IN

TRAUMATIC BRAIN REHABILITATION

.

AND FINALLY WHEN IT BECAME

CLEAR THAT JACQUELINE WOULD

LIVE AT LEAST THEY BROUGHT HER

OUT OF THE COMA.

SHE STILL SHOWED NO SIGNS OF

COGNITIVE OR PHYSICAL

RECOVERING.

JACQUELINE WAS IN A

WHEELCHAIR.

JACQUELINE WAS NOT SPEAKING.

JACQUELINE COULD NOT HOLD HER

HEAD UP.

SHE COULD NOT REALLY MOVE HER

LEGS AT ALL.

I WAS HAVING A ROUGH TIME, YOU

KNOW, ACCEPTING THAT JACQUELINE

WAS IN THE CONDITION WAS THEN I

HAD FEAR BECAUSE.

I DON'T KNOW.

YOU HAVE FEAR AND YOU HAVE

FAITH.

I TO GET A HOLD OF MY FEAR AND

PUT IT TO MY FAITH.

EVERY NIGHT WE HAD EVERYONE

PRAYING.

WE PICKED A TIME SPECIFICALLY

PRAYERS WOULD GO UP FOR

JACQUELINE IN THE COMING

MONTHS.

JACQUELINE WOULD ENDURE INTENSE

REHAB.

FRIENDS AND FAMILY CONTINUE TO

PRAY.

JACQUELINE REMAINED REHAB

FOR NEARLY A YEAR BEFORE

FINALLY GOING.

STILL IN A WHEELCHAIR AND

BEDRIDDEN.

THEN ONE NIGHT JACQUELINE

SURPRISED HER MOM WENT IN THERE

AND I SAID JACQUELINE, ARE YOU

OKAY?

AND SHE GAVE ME A THUMBS UP AND

I ASKED HER DO YOU NEED

ANYTHING?

AND SHE GAVE ME A THUMBS DOWN

AND I SAID OKAY, WELL I LOVE

YOU AND THE FAINTEST TINIEST

WHISPER SHE SAID I LOVE YOU

TOO.

AND I STARTED SCREAMING ME.

TWO MONTHS LATER JACQUELINE

CONTINUED TO SURPRISE WHEN SHE

STOOD UP FOR THE FIRST TIME.

WHEN PEOPLE WOULD TELL ME

YOU'RE NOT GOING TO BE ABLE TO

DO THIS, I WOULD JUST SAY OKAY,

THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

AND WE WOULD LEAVE AND I WOULD

JUST PRAY ABOUT IT AND ASK GOD

WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO ABOUT

WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO WITH

ME?

AS SHE CONTINUED REHAB,

JACQUELINE DIFFERENT WAYS TO

GET BACK TO NORMAL LIFE RIGHT

BELOW 200 LEGO SETS.

AND I REALLY FEEL LIKE IT'S

HELPED ME WITH MY HAND-EYE

COORDINATION.

MY FAITH IS EVEN STRONGER THAN

IT WAS BECAUSE I KNOW WHAT GUYS

CAN DO FOR ME AND FOR OTHERS.

JACQUELINE ON TO CONTINUE HER

COLLEGE CAREER MAJORING IN

PRE-MED BECOME A

NEUROPSYCHOLOGIST.

SHE AND HER PARENTS ALSO THE

JACQUELINE STRONG FOUNDATION.

THE PELICANS ALSO HAVE A

RENEWED BELIEF IN PRAYER FOR

THEMSELVES AND FOR OTHERS.

WE'RE STILL HEALING.

WE'RE STILL RECOVERING.

WE HAVE A TESTIMONY.

MY TESTIMONY IS HOW GOOD GOD IS

WHETHER HE CHOSE TO HEAL OR

TAKE.

I THANK HIM FOR LEAVING

JACQUELINE HERE TO SPREAD HIS

WORD EVEN MORE.

THE POWER OF PRAYER IS AMAZING

FOR US TO BE ABLE TO HAVE A

FRONT ROW SEAT AND TO WATCH

JACQUELINE NOT ONLY COME BACK

FROM SOMETHING SHE WAS NEVER

EXPECTED TO COME BACK FROM BUT

COME BACK WITH SUCH DIGNITY AND

PRIDE AND JUST SUCH A LOVE FOR

GOD IS THE BIGGEST BLESSING WE

COULD EVER ASK FOR OR MIRACLES

ON THE BIBLE.

BUT I FEEL LIKE SO MANY PEOPLE

DON'T SEE REAL DAY LIKE

MIRACLES NOW.

SO AFTER THEY WATCH MINE THEN

THEY CAN SEE THAT MIRACLES DO.

GOD IS THE SAME.

NEVER CHANGE, NEVER WILL.

AMEN AND AMEN.

GOD IS THE SAME YESTERDAY,

TODAY AND FOREVER AND WATCHING

THE HOLY SPIRIT THAT THERE IS
