ON TODAY'S 700 CLUB.

HI EVERYONE.

WELCOME TO THE 700 CLUB.

AMANDA IN FOR GORDON TODAY.

A POWERFUL STORM SYSTEM KILLED

MORE THAN THREE DOZEN PEOPLE

ACROSS EIGHT STATES OVER THE

WEEKEND.

ALL COMBINATION OF

TORNADOES, DUST STORMS AND

WILDFIRES DESTROYED HUNDREDS OF

HOMES AND BUSINESSES.

DALE HURD THE STORY.

IT WAS UTTER DEVASTATION IN

PARTS OF THE NATION'S HEARTLAND

.

DOZENS OF TORNADOES OVER THE

WEEKEND LEFT A PATH DESTRUCTION

ACROSS EIGHT STATES FROM

MISSOURI TO ALABAMA.

ALL SHE COULD SAY WAS MAMA

ALLISON'S GOAL IS LEVEL AND

IT'S LEVELED MOBILE, ALABAMA.

THERE WERE AT LEAST THREE

DEAD INCLUDING ANITA OWENS

MOTHER.

YOU WOULDN'T THINK JUST OH,

AND TORNADOES WOULDN'T DO THAT.

BUT SHE DID.

THE STATION IN TALLADEGA

COUNTY, ALABAMA.

THIS SCHOOL BUS LOOKED LIKE A

TOY TOSSED AGAINST THIS SIDE OF

WINTER BOROUGH HIGH SCHOOL AT

THIS RV RESORT IN MISSISSIPPI.

MIRACULOUSLY, ONE WAS HURT.

IN GEORGIA A TORNADO WAS

CONFIRMED WEST OF ATLANTA.

IT WAS SOUND LIKE A WAR

ZONE.

ALL YOU HEARD WERE THINGS

FLYING AROUND.

HIT IN THE SIDE OF THE HOUSE.

GLASS SHATTERED IN ARKANSAS.

THE NATIONAL GUARD WAS

DEPLOYED AFTER AN EF TORNADO

PACKING 165 MILE PER HOUR WINDS

FLATTENED BUILDINGS.

YOU CAN JUST YOU CAN FEEL

THE PRESSURE HERE, THE

INTENSITY.

THE HIGHEST DEATH TOLL WAS

IN MISSOURI.

AT LEAST A DOZEN LIVES LOST.

SOME HIT THE SIDE OF THE TRUCK

JUST FLIPPED IT OVER AND THIS

MAN HAD TWO RESCUERS AND AFTER

HER HOME WAS LEVELED.

SHE WAS TRAPPED IN THAT

BEDROOM.

THE ONLY STANDING LEFT OF THIS

HOUSE SHE WAS TRAPPED IN IT.

WE GOT HER OUT THE WINDOW,

FOUND A FEW BODIES THAT WAS OUT

IN THE FIELD.

A FEW DECEASED PEOPLE.

BUT IT WAS A ROUGH NIGHT.

IT WAS A REALLY ROUGH NIGHT.

WINDS FROM THE SAME STORM

EVEN CREATED WILDFIRES.

OKLAHOMA LEAVING AT LEAST FOUR

PEOPLE DEAD AND 400 HOMES

DAMAGED.

IN BAKERSFIELD, TOWNSFOLK HAVE

COME TOGETHER TO HELP

ONE ANOTHER.

MEMBERS THE COMMUNITY HAVE

JUST BEEN GREAT.

THEY'VE BEEN COMING IN AND

BRINGING STUFF DAY LONG AND

WE'RE WE'RE FILLING THE CHURCH

BUILDING UP SO WE'RE GOING TO

HAVE IT OPEN READY FOR ANYBODY

THAT NEEDS SOMETHING.

THIS MAN PLAYED AMAZING GRACE

OUTSIDE HIS HOME LOST TO FIRE

VOWING TO REBUILD.

THE SEVERE WEATHER HAS IN TO

THE NORTHEAST WITH HIGH WINDS

AND HEAVY RAIN EXPECTED ACROSS

NEW YORK AND NEW ENGLAND TODAY.

HURD, CBN NEWS.

THANK YOU DALE.

THE WEEK CONCLUDED LAST WEEK

THIS STORM WAS PREDICTED.

PEOPLE WERE WARNED BUT YOU KNOW

THE U.S. IS USED TO TORNADOES

THIS TIME OF YEAR NOT MANY

PREDICTED HURRICANE FORCE WINDS

AND WILDFIRE IN ALABAMA THERE

WAS DAMAGE IN 52 OF THE 67

COUNTIES AND TERRIBLE CAR

WRECKS LIVES LOST TEXAS AND

KANSAS DUE TO DUST STORMS.

SO WE WILL KEEP THE ENTIRE

REGION IN PRAYER AND KEEP YOU

UPDATED.

IN THE MIDDLE EAST, U.S.

WARPLANES HOUTHI REBEL TARGETS

IN YEMEN OVER THE WEEKEND.

THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION WARNED

IRAN TO STOP FUNDING THEIR

PROXY ARMY OR SUFFER

CONSEQUENCES.

CBN MIDDLE EAST

CORRESPONDENT JULIE STALL HAS

MORE.

DOZENS OF U.S. AIRSTRIKES

MISSILE STRIKES ON HOUTHI

TARGETS OVER THE WEEKEND IN

YEMEN LEFT 50 PEOPLE DEAD.

THE REBELS CLAIM NATIONAL

SECURITY ADVISER MIKE WALL SAYS

HOUTHI LEADERS ARE AMONG THE

DEAD.

THIS WAS AN OVERWHELMING

RESPONSE THAT ACTUALLY TARGETED

MULTIPLE HOUTHI LEADERS AND

TOOK THEM OUT.

THE ATTACKS CAME AFTER THE

HOUTHIS WARNED THEY'RE ABOUT TO

START HITTING SHIPS IN THE RED

SEA AND OTHER NEARBY WATERS

AGAIN SINCE THE START OF THE

WAR IN GAZA.

THE HOUTHIS HAVE DISRUPTED

GLOBAL SHIPPING AND COST

BILLIONS OF DOLLARS WITH

ATTACKS ON COMMERCIAL SHIPS IN

THE RED SEA.

THEY'VE ALSO TARGETED U.S.

WARSHIPS.

U.S. DEFENSE SECRETARY PETE

HEGSETH ON FOX NEWS FOUR MONTHS

AGO WHEN WE SENT A SHIP THROUGH

IT WAS SHOT AT 17 TIMES.

SHIPS HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE TO GO

THROUGH FOR OVER A YEAR WITHOUT

BEING SHOT AT.

FREEDOM OF NAVIGATION IS A

BASIC IT'S A CORE NATIONAL

UNTRUTH SOCIAL.

PRESIDENT TRUMP DECLARED NO

TERRORIST FORCE WILL STOP

AMERICAN COMMERCIAL AND NAVAL

FROM FREELY SAILING THE

WATERWAYS OF THE WORLD.

TRUMP ALSO WARNED IRAN TO STOP

BACKING THE HOUTHIS WRITING

BEWARE BECAUSE AMERICA WILL

HOLD YOU FULLY ACCOUNTABLE AND

WE WON'T BE NICE ABOUT IT.

U.S. SECRETARY OF STATE MARCO

RUBIO SAYS AMERICA IS DOING THE

WORLD A FAVOR.

WHAT CAN'T IGNORE AND THE

REASON WHY THE PRESIDENT

MENTIONED IRAN IS BECAUSE THE

IRANIANS HAVE SUPPORTED THE

HOUTHIS.

THEY PROVIDED THEM

INTELLIGENCE.

THEY PROVIDED THEM GUIDANCE

THEY PROVIDED THEM WEAPONRY.

THE IRANIANS ARE DEFIANT

CLAIMING THE U.S. AND ITS

ALLIES ARE PANICKING IN THE

FACE NATIONS STANDING TOGETHER.

THE HOUTHIS WARNED WILL

RETALIATE AND CLAIM TO LAUNCH

DRONE AND BALLISTIC MISSILE

ATTACKS AGAINST A U.S. CARRIER

IN THE REGION.

BUT THE THE NAVY DENIES THE

ATTACK AND SAID THEY DID NOT

COME NEAR ANY U.S. SHIPS.

AS FOR THE WAR IN GAZA,

PRESIDENT TRUMP'S SPECIAL TO

THE MIDDLE EAST STEVE WHITCOMB

LAID OUT A PROPOSAL TO FREE UP

TO 11 MORE HOSTAGES IN EXCHANGE

PALESTINIAN PRISONERS.

BUT HAMAS'S REPLY HAS REJECTED

BY BOTH ISRAEL AND THE U.S..

I'M NOT GOING TO GO INTO THE

SPECIFIC DETAILS OF WHAT MADE

IT UNACCEPTABLE.

I THINK THERE'S AN OPPORTUNITY

FOR THEM BUT THE OPPORTUNITY IS

CLOSING FAST.

WHITCOMB SAID OF THE TERROR

GROUP'S STALLING.

HAMAS IS MAKING A VERY BET

THAT TIME IS ON ITS SIDE.

IT IS NOT WHAT HAPPENED WITH

THE HOUTHIS YESTERDAY, WHAT

HAPPENED WITH OUR STRIKE OR TO

INFORM AS TO WHERE WE STAND

WITH REGARD TO TERRORISM AND

OUR TOLERANCE LEVEL FOR FOR

TERRORIST.

AND I WOULD I WOULD ENCOURAGE

HAMAS GET MUCH MORE SENSIBLE

THAN HOW THEY HAVE BEEN.

JULIE STAHL CBN NEWS,

JERUSALEM.

CBN NEWS MIDDLE EAST BUREAU

CHIEF CHRIS MITCHELL JOINS US

NOW FOR WELCOME CHRIS.

CHRIS, WHAT'S ISRAEL'S REACTION

TO THE U.S. ATTACK ON THE

HOUTHIES?

WELL, BEFORE I GET TO THAT I

JUST WANT TO SAY HAPPY ST

PATRICK'S DAY, ANDREW TO

EVERYONE LISTENING AS WELL FOR

THE REACTION, THERE'S NO

OFFICIAL REACTION I JUST HEARD

FROM THE PRIME OFFICE AND THEY

SAID THERE'S NO OFFICIAL

REACTION.

HOWEVER, ISRAEL IS ON HIGH

ALERT RIGHT NOW FOR A POSSIBLE

ATTACK BY THE HOUTHIS.

I JUST CAME BACK EARLIER TODAY

FROM TEL AVIV NOT FAR FROM

WHERE A HOUTHI DRONE WOUNDED

ABOUT 16 PEOPLE NOT TOO LONG

AGO AND SINCE OCTOBER 2023.

ANDREW WHO DOES A FIGHT AT

LEAST 200 MISSILES AND ABOUT

170 DRONES AGAINST ISRAEL.

MOST INTERCEPTED.

AND ISRAEL IN THE MEANTIME HAS

IT KEY INFRASTRUCTURE AT LEAST

TWICE IN YEMEN.

BUT AS I SAID NO OFFICIAL

REACTION RIGHT NOW FROM ISRAEL.

ALL RIGHT.

THERE'S ISRAEL'S WHAT ABOUT

IRAN?

WHAT DOES THIS ATTACK SIGNAL TO

IRAN ITSELF, ANDREW?

I DON'T THINK THIS COULD BE

ANY CLEARER AND IT SAYS DON'T

SUPPORT THE ENEMIES OF THE US

ARE GLOBAL SHIPPING AND

SOME PEOPLE MAY SAY, YOU KNOW,

TO IRAN YOU'RE NEXT.

THERE'S A NEW SHERIFF.

THERE'S A NEW ADMINISTRATION

THAT'S NOT AFRAID TO USE ACTION

WHEN THEY FEEL IT'S NECESSARY.

AND I THINK THE US RIGHT NOW IS

GOING TO BE THERE AS LONG AS IT

TAKES TO MAKE SURE THE HOUTHIS

NO LONGER POSE A THREAT TO YOU.

THE U.S. WARSHIPS ARE SHIPPING

AND REMIND SOME HERE OF HOW

PRESIDENT TRUMP DEALT ISIS

DURING HIS FIRST TERM.

HE CHANGED THE RULES OF

ENGAGEMENT, DECIMATED ISIS'S

LEADERSHIP AND ISIS LOST 100%

OF ITS TERRITORY OF THE

CALIPHATE.

THINK THIS IS SENDING A CLEAR

MESSAGE NOT ONLY TO THE HOUTHIS

,IRAN AS WELL.

CHRIS AND JULIE'S REPORT SHE

FEATURED SPECIAL ENVOY STEVE

WOOD CORP AND HE WARNED HAMAS

IT SHOULD TAKE NOTE OF THE US

RESPONSE TO THE HOODIE

TERRORISTS.

HOW MIGHT THE US TAKE ACTION

AGAINST HAMAS?

WELL THEY MAY TAKE ACTION,

ANDREW, IN COORDINATION WITH

ISRAEL BUT ANDREW THE STICKING

POINT HAS BEEN AND CONTINUES TO

BE THE FATE OF HOSTAGES AND

THEY HOLD A LEVERAGE THAT'S THE

HAMAS A LEVERAGE THAT IT HOLDS

THE THREATEN TO KILL ALL THE

HOSTAGES MILITARY ACTION

RESUMES AND MANY HERE ARE

HOPING AS PRESIDENT TRUMP HAS

HAS SAID THERE'LL BE TO PAY

FOR WHAT HAMAS HAS DONE AND IS

DOING.

BUT ALSO THERE'S MANY PEOPLE

HERE AND AROUND THE WORLD

APPEALING TO HEAVEN ALL THE

HOSTAGES TO BE FREE.

YEAH, CHRIS, THERE THERE'S

SO MANY PLAYERS SO MANY LEADERS

AND NATIONS INVOLVED IN ALL

THAT'S GOING ON IN THE MIDDLE

EAST.

SO WHAT DO WE KNOW ABOUT THE

HAMAS RESPONSE IN THE HOSTAGE

NEGOTIATIONS THAT ANGERED

WYCKOFF HIMSELF?

WELL, THEY'RE PUBLICLY

SAYING ONE THING THAT THEY'RE

FLEXIBLE PRIVATELY THEY'RE

MAKING IN PRACTICE BOTH

IMPRACTICAL DEMANDS HAMAS IS

SENDING INSISTING TWO STARTS

AND THE END OF THE WAR MORE

PALESTINIAN PRISONERS MORE A

WITHDRAWAL FROM A STRATEGIC

CORRIDOR.

BUT THE U.S. AND ISRAEL, THEY

WANT TO EXTEND PHASE ONE WITH

MORE HOSTAGES TO RELEASED.

ALL RIGHT, CHRIS, THANKS FOR

MORE 100 MILLION PEOPLE

WORLDWIDE DON'T HAVE A HOME IN

COLOMBIA.

THE CRISIS IS COMPOUNDED BY

DRUG ADDICTION POVERTY A STEADY

FLOW OF MIGRANTS IN THE CITY OF

MEDELLIN, A CHRISTIAN MINISTRY

IS PROVIDING SHELTER FOR AS

MANY HOMELESS PEOPLE AS

POSSIBLE AND CARING FOR THOSE

STILL LIVING ON THE STREETS.

BRODY CARTER TAKES US TO THE

CITY OF REFUGE.

COLOMBIA REMAINS THE NUMBER

ONE DESTINATION FOR VENEZUELAN

MIGRANTS FLEEING FROM ECONOMIC

COLLAPSE AND POLITICAL

INSTABILITY.

THOUSANDS ARRIVING HERE SEEKING

FOR FOOD, WATER AND STABILITY.

MANY OF THEM ARE EXPERIENCING

AND EXPLOITATION.

NOT ONLY THE HOMELESS BUT

ALSO THE MIGRANTS, THE

DISPLACED PEOPLE.

I DON'T KNOW HEARD THAT WE HAVE

PEOPLE COMING FROM CATATUMBO

INTO MANAGING THIS PLACE

BECAUSE WHAT THEY GUERRILLA SO

IS BECOMING A BIGGER CRISIS

THAN NIGHT IN THE NINETIES.

IS HOME TO ABOUT 3 MILLION

VENEZUELAN MIGRANTS A A NUMBER

THAT COULD LIKELY TRIPLE BY THE

END OF THIS YEAR.

NOTHING WILL HAPPEN THERE IN

FACT PROTECTED TO DO THIS.

SOMETIMES THE POLICE CAN DO

ANYTHING BECAUSE THEY DON'T

HAVE A BUDGET TO HELP THEM.

SOMETIMES DON'T HAVE ENOUGH

MONEY AND SOMETIMES BECAUSE

THEY DON'T KNOW HOW TO THEM.

ON TOP OF THAT CLOSE TO

SEVEN MILLION COLOMBIANS NO

HOME IN THEIR OWN COUNTRY.

IT'S A CRISIS CONTINUALLY

FUELED BY ECONOMIC STRUGGLES

AND ONGOING CONFLICT.

AND ON THE STREETS WORLDS

COLLIDE.

THEY COME HERE BECAUSE DRUGS

ARE SO CHEAP AND THEY END UP

FALLING INTO DRUGS SOME OF THEM

DYING OF OVERDOSE.

FOR MORE THAN 30 YEARS,

DOUGLAS CAVANAUGH WITH ONE DOSE

ON CIUDAD REFUGIO HAS SERVED

MEDELLIN'S HOMELESS.

THIS OPEN AIR DRUG MARKET A

STARK SYMBOL OF THE CRISIS THE

CHALLENGE FACED BY CARVANA.

THIS IS WHERE THE GOVERNMENT

NEEDS TO PUSH IN ALL THE

HOMELESS.

THIS IS A CULTURE WITHIN A

CULTURE.

EACH WEEK STAFF AND

VOLUNTEERS DRIVE INTO THE

DARKEST CORNERS OF THE CITY TO

SERVE AS A LIGHT FOR THOSE

LIVING STREET.

THIS IS HOW IT ALL STARTED FOR

CIUDAD REFUGIA, THE CITY OF

REFUGE.

RIGHT NOW YOU'RE WITNESSING AN

EVENT CALLED PAN IF ANELLO

THEY'RE HANDING OUT BREAD AND

SUGAR WATER FOR THE PROSTITUTES

,ADDICTS AND THE HOMELESS

THEY'VE GOT NOWHERE TO GO.

RIGHT NOW WE'RE IN AN AREA THE

BRONX.

THIS IS ALSO CALLED STREET.

AND THEIR FUTURE REALLY HOLDS

IN THEIR OWN HANDS WHETHER OR

NOT THEY GET ARRESTED IS STILL

TO BE SEEN.

SOME OF THEM MIGHT DIE TONIGHT

IF YOU WIND UP IN THE BRONX.

IT'S BECAUSE YOU'RE AT THE

END OF YOUR ROPE.

YOU'RE AT THE WORST OF THE

WORST IN YOUR LIFE.

HARRY DIETRICH NEVER IMAGINED

LIVING IN COLOMBIA HELPING LEAD

A MINISTRY LIKE.

ORIGINALLY FROM NEW JERSEY,

HARRY MOVED TO BOGOTA HIS

FAMILY ALMOST 20 YEARS AGO.

THEIR MISSION?

FIND GOD IS WORKING AND JOIN

HIM.

TODAY DIETRICH OVERSEES

CIUDAD OPERATIONS FROM THE

SHELTER TO EVENTS REACHING INTO

MEDELLIN'S MOST DANGEROUS

NEIGHBORHOODS.

SOME NOTHING.

SOME OTHERS THEY ARE THERE

TOUCH SOME THEY TO RECEIVE

CHRIST.

SOME THEY WANT TO COME BACK

WITH US.

YOU'LL SEE SOME OF THESE PEOPLE

KNOCKING AT THE DOOR TOMORROW

MORNING.

BACK AT THEIR DOWNTOWN

HEADQUARTERS THE WORK CONTINUES

EACH NIGHT DOZENS LINE UP

OUTSIDE HOPING PLACE TO REST

BEFORE ENTERING THEY MUST PASS

SECURITY CHECKS FOR DRUGS AND

WEAPONS.

THOSE WILLING TO FOLLOW THE

RULES ARE GIVEN A MATTRESS TO

SLEEP ON THE FLOOR.

MANY OF THE HOMELESS ARE

JUST LOOKING FOR A ROOF.

LOOKING FOR A BED.

LOOKING FOR A MEAL.

BUT IF THEY HAVE ANY TYPE OF A

HEART FOR THE LORD OR FOR

RESTORATION FULLY WE'LL TAKE

THEM THEM IN AND GET THEM GOING

IN THE PROGRAM AS SOON AS

POSSIBLE.

A PROGRAM DESIGNED THE WHOLE

PERSON PHYSICALLY, SPIRITUALLY

AND EMOTIONALLY.

A STOREFRONT BAKERY

INTEGRATES THE MINISTRY WITH

THE CITY WHILE WHILE ALSO

TEACHING JOB SKILLS TO THOSE IN

REHAB.

THEY ACHIEVE A 65% SUCCESS RATE

SIGNIFICANTLY HIGHER THAN MOST

PROGRAMS.

WHEN I CAME HERE I WAS SURE

I WOULD AND I WAS PLANING MAYBE

THREE OR FOUR MONTHS MORE ALIVE

BECAUSE I WAS REALLY REALLY

SICK.

WHEN I COME HERE EVERYTHING IS

SUCH A CHANCE AND INSIDE OF ME.

AT HIS LOWEST POINT AS A

FORMER ADDICT, AN ALCOHOLIC,

MARIN FOUND TRANSFORMATION HERE

SIX YEARS AGO.

WE HAVE THE WOMEN'S PROGRAM

AS WELL AND IF THEY'RE SCHOOL

AGE MANY TIMES THE CHILD WILL

COME INTO THE PROGRAM WITH WITH

THE WOMAN.

BUT THEN WE ALSO DO LIKE A

VACATION BIBLE SCHOOL EVERY

SATURDAY.

MOST OF THOSE PEOPLE ARE

VENEZUELAN MOMS WITH THEIR KIDS

SINCE I WAS 14 YEARS OLD.

I WENT TO CHURCH BUT I GAVE

MYSELF THE THINGS I SHOULDN'T

HAVE.

I GAVE LIFE TO MONEY AND

ALCOHOL AND I CLUNG TO THEM.

CAMILA GOMEZ, 26, LOST

CUSTODY OF HER DAUGHTER JOCELYN

DUE ADDICTION.

THROUGH THE MINISTRY SHE FOUND

FOOD HOUSING WORK.

TODAY SHE'S SOBER AND

REUNITED WITH HER DAUGHTER IN

THE BASEMENT.

THEIR CHURCH KNOWN AS THE CAVE

WELCOMES THOSE REJECTED BY

SOCIETY.

NO MORE THAN SEVEN IS A

STANDARD BY HERE.

EACH STORY IS MARKED BY A

MIRACLE CREATING THE

OPPORTUNITY TO RECONNECT AND

REBUILD.

FOR ME IT HAS BEEN SOMETHING

SUPERNATURAL.

IT IS VERY BEAUTIFUL TO SEE HOW

GOD IS TRANSFORMING OUR MINDS

OUR HEARTS EVERY DAY.

FIRST OF ALL, HE'S TOUCHING

THE DEEPEST OF OUR HEARTS.

IT HAS BEEN THE DEEPEST THING

IN OUR HEARTS AND HE MAKES US

UNDERSTAND THAT THE ONLY THING

THAT CAN SAVE US HIM.

THE MINISTRY IS GROWING WITH

THE GOAL TO HOUSE MORE MEN,

WOMEN AND MISSIONARIES WHILE

TAKING THEIR MODEL TO OTHER

CITIES.

I THINK THE CHURCH IS

AWAKENING TO THE FACT THAT THE

GOSPEL IS NOT AS WHAT WE PREACH

FROM THE PLATFORM.

WE NEED TO DO THINGS FOR

PEOPLE.

PEOPLE ARE TIRED OF THE RIGHT

MESSAGE, THE RIGHT SERMON.

THEY WANT TO SEE THE GOSPEL ON

THE STREETS.

THEY WANT TO SEE THE CHURCH

MOVING OR THE NEED THESE THAT I

WOULD SAY THAT THAT IS

HAPPENING IN COLOMBIA, THANK

GOD.

THE REAL RESTORATION IS NOT

JUST TO STOP FOR USE DRUGS.

IS TO START TO ENJOY THE LIFE.

TO LOVE THE PEOPLE BE A GOOD

EXAMPLE FOR THE PEOPLE AROUND

YOU SHOW THE GOSPEL THE THE

LOVE JESUS SHOW YOU SHOW THE

SAME LOVE FOR THE PEOPLE.

CIUDAD REFUGIO IS A

TESTAMENT TO THE POWER OF A

LIFE TRANSFORMED BY FAITH.

IN THE DARKEST OF PLACES AND AS

THE NEED GROWS SO ITS MISSION

POINTING OTHERS TO THE CROSS

AND THE IMPORTANCE OF SERVING

AS A REFUGE.

REPORTING AND MANAGING COLOMBIA

BRODY.

CARTER CBN NEWS.

BRODY YOU FOR TAKING US ALL TO

WHAT MANY CONSIDER ONE OF THE

DARKEST PLACES ON EARTH WHETHER

IT'S THESE HEROES OF THE FAITH

GIVING WATER SUGAR WATER, BREAD

TO PROSTITUTES, HOMELESS AND

ADDICTS OR HELPING WOMEN LIKE

CAMELIA GET HER DAUGHTER BACK

OR JASON WHO SAID IT'S NOT JUST

ABOUT GETTING OFF OF DRUGS,

IT'S ABOUT HAVING HOPE AND

LIFE.

WE ARE INSPIRED SEEING THE

GOSPEL IN ACTION HOW THE.

CONSULTATION.

JED HILL LOST AT ALL TWICE.

FIRST BECAUSE OF A FREAK

ACCIDENT DURING A FOOTBALL

GAME.

SECOND BECAUSE ANOTHER MOTORIST

RAN A RED LIGHT.

IT ALL LED TO A DRUG ADDICTION

AND A PRISON SENTENCE.

AND ONE NIGHT IN HIS JAIL CELL

JED ENDED HIS LIFE AND BY DOING

SO HE SAVED IT.

I HAD AN EMPTY VOID IN IN

THE INSIDE THAT I WOULD FILL

WITH OTHER PEOPLE'S.

JUST COMPLETELY SELF-MEDICATE

WITH ANY MOOD MIND ALTERING

SUBSTANCE.

I WANTED TO BE SEEN HEARD AND

KNOWN BY MY FATHER.

AND I NEVER WAS.

IN THE MID 2000S JED HILL

WAS A RISING STAR IN COLLEGE

WITH FILLED STADIUMS OF

THOUSANDS CHANGING HIS NAME.

THE FUTURE WAS SET TO BE ONE OF

FAME AND SUCCESS.

HOWEVER, IT WASN'T THE LOVE

OF THE GAME THAT DROVE HIM BUT

THE DESIRE TO BE LOVED BY HIS

FATHER.

I REMEMBER THE TIMES THAT WE

WOULD COME HOME AND MY DAD BE

IN A MOOD AND AND START BEATING

US AND HITTING US.

I THOUGHT LOVE WAS SOMETHING I

EARNED.

THE REASON WHY I PLAYED

FOOTBALL WAS BECAUSE AT THE

YOUNG AGES I WOULD PLAY

BACKYARD FOOTBALL WITH, YOU

KNOW, MY THREE BROTHERS AND MY

TWIN BROTHER AND AND SEEING HOW

PROUD MY DAD WAS OR HOW HAPPY

HE WOULD BE WHEN SEE US CATCH A

PASS AND THINGS LIKE THAT.

I DIDN'T EVEN LIKE FOOTBALL.

I JUST DID IT BECAUSE I WOULD

HOPE THAT ONE DAY MY DAD WOULD

SAY PROUD OF ME.

EVEN AS JED WAS IN THE

RUNNING FOR THE HIS FATHER

REFUSED TO ACKNOWLEDGE HIS

ACCOMPLISHMENTS AND THEN

TRAGEDY.

MAKE TWO TACKLE AND MY OWN

TEAMMATE HAD HIT HIS HELMET

INTO MY ANKLE AND THE BOTTOM OF

MY FOOT WAS TOUCHING MY SKIN.

FIRST THING I SCREAMED IS

WHY GOD WHY WOULD YOU THIS TO

ME?

YOU KNOW THAT TOOK ME OUT FROM

EVEN BEING ENTERED IN THE DRAFT

THEY'RE TRYING OUT AND THOSE

DIFFERENT THINGS.

WENT THROUGH A NINE MONTH

REHAB.

I FELT EMPTY JUST COMPLETELY

EMPTY.

I FELT USELESS.

ONE MOMENT YOU FEEL ON TOP OF

THE THE WORLD AND THE NEXT

MOMENT THE WORLD FILLS ON TOP

OF YOU.

WHILE WORKING TO REBUILD HIS

BODY, HE WAS APPROACHED BY A

MODELING AGENT AT THE GYM WHO

OFFERED HIM A GIG.

JED SOON FOUND HIMSELF ON THE

COVERS OF COUNTLESS FITNESS AND

FASHION MAGAZINES, EVENTUALLY

BECOMING AN ACTOR IN HOLLYWOOD.

BUT EVEN AS THE STARS ALIGNED,

HE STILL CRAVED FOR HIS FATHER

TO NOTICE.

I WOULD COME HOME AND IT WAS

EVERYBODY ELSE WAS SO EXCITED

TO SEE ME AND WOULD JUST SIT IN

THE CORNER AND LOOK AT ME

SOMETIMES SHAKE HIS HEAD AT ME

LIKE I HAD DONE SOMETHING

SHAMEFUL.

I REMEMBER HOW BAD THAT HURT.

I WOULD GET COMPLIMENTS FROM

OTHER PEOPLE AND PEOPLE WOULD

TELL ME HOW GREAT YOU LOOKED

AND THEN AGAIN JUST FEELING

EMPTY FEELING EMPTY, STILL

HURTING.

AS JED WAS DRIVING HIS

MOTORCYCLE TO AN AUDITION, A

MOVIE, A CAR RAN A RED LIGHT

CAUSING HIM TO CRASH.

ONCE AGAIN ALL HIS AMBITIONS

WERE DERAILED IN AN INSTANT AS

HE WAS TAKEN TO THE HOSPITAL

WITH BROKEN RIBS AND A

SHATTERED JAW.

ANOTHER MOMENT IN MY LIFE WHERE

I SAID GOD, WHY DID YOU DO THIS

TO ME?

DON'T MY LIFE MY LIFE IS GOING

SO GOOD.

I DON'T NEED YOU.

HE WAS PRESCRIBED OPIOIDS

DURING HIS RECOVERY EVENTUALLY

BECOMING ADDICTED.

HE STARTED SELLING DRUGS AND

STEALING SO HE COULD SCORE

MORE.

FINALLY ARRESTED AND TO PRISON

JED WAS READY TO END IT ALL.

I JUST WANTED THE PAIN TO GO

AWAY.

I TIED THE SHEETS AROUND THE

TOP BUNK AND MARCEL THAT NIGHT

AND AND I TIED THREE KNOTS

UNDERNEATH MY NECK.

I TOUCHED MY FEET UNDERNEATH

BOTTOM BUNK AND I LEANED

FORWARD AND I TOOK MY OWN LIFE

.

JED AWOKE IN THE HOSPITAL

SIX DAYS LATER AFTER HAVING

DIED AND BEEN RESUSCITATED.

AS HE SAT IN BED WISHING HE

HADN'T A NURSE DID SOMETHING

THAT CHANGED EVERYTHING.

SHE SAYS CHAD, IF YOU COULD

REALLY BE HONEST YOUR LIFE CAN

BE DIFFERENT.

AND SHE HANDED ME A LITTLE NEW

TESTAMENT BIBLE AND JUST

SITTING THERE AND JUST STARTING

TO THINK ABOUT BEING HONEST,

RIGHT?

I'VE BEEN LYING TO MYSELF

COVERING EVERYTHING THAT I'VE

BEEN THROUGH IN MY LIFE NOT

LETTING ANYONE ON THE INSIDE TO

KNOW WHAT I WAS GOING THROUGH

AND MY VIEW A HEAVENLY FATHER

WAS SO CLOUDED BY MY EARTHLY

FATHER THAT TIME I WANTED

NOTHING TO DO WITH IT EVEN

THOUGH MY MOTHER WOULD MAKE GO

TO SUNDAY SCHOOL AND CHURCH

SOMETIMES AND AND WE WOULD DO

AND SO I REMEMBER SOME OF THE

VERSES GROWING UP THE JOHN 16

SAID THAT W

HIM SHOULD NOT PERISH BUT HAVE

EVERLASTING LIFE.

I WAS TIRED OF PARIS.

I WANTED TO BE WHOSOEVER I

WANTED TO FEEL LOVE AND THE

COMPASSION I NEVER FELT BEFORE

AND THAT MOMENT ME AND I SAID

GOD TO GIVE YOU ALL THAT I AM

NOT MUCH I GIVE YOU ALL THAT I

WILL BE DO SOMETHING WITH IT

READING THE WORD AND PRAYING

DAILY JED HIS LIFE TO CHRIST.

NOW A PASTOR JED WORRY ABOUT

THE APPROVAL OF HIS EARTHLY

FATHER ANYMORE.

INSTEAD HE SERVES AS HEAVENLY

FATHER BY LEADING OTHERS TO.

I HAD APOLOGIZED TO GOD FOR THE

THINGS HE DIDN'T DO IN MY LIFE.

HE DIDN'T MAKE ME A DRUG.

HE DIDN'T CAUSE MY FATHER TO

ABUSE ME AND I HAD TO FILL THIS

VOID IN MY LIFE AND GIVE IT TO

HIM AND THE SPIRIT OF GOD

DWELLS INSIDE ME NOW.

I WAS PREACHING AND MY DAD CAME

TO THE AUTHOR AND HE ACCEPTED

JESUS HIS HEART.

I'VE FORGIVEN 100%.

I LOVE HIM AND NOW THAT I HAVE

MY AND HE'S A MIRACLE I JUST I

KNOW THAT GOING TO LOVE HIM AND

REMIND HIM OF HOW PROUD AM EVEN

OVER THE SMALL THINGS BECAUSE I

KNOW WHAT THAT FEELS NOT TO

FEEL THAT GOD HAS A REDEMPTIVE

PLAN IN SPITE OF WHERE YOU BEEN

OR WHERE YOU THINK YOU'RE

YOU'RE GOING THAT HE HAS A

REDEMPTIVE PLAN TO REDEEM YOU

RESTORE YOU RENEW YOU AND TO

MAKE BELONG.

WHEN I HEARD JED TALK ABOUT

THAT PRAYER HE PRAYED LORD, I

GIVE YOU ALL THAT I AM AND WHEN

HE SAID I GIVE YOU ALL I WILL

EVER BE THAT JUST TOUCHED MY

HEART.

WHAT A BEAUTIFUL PRAYER FROM

A MAN WHO WAS BROKEN.

I APPRECIATE HOW HE SHARED NOT

ONLY HIS PAIN BUT THE SOURCE OF

THAT WAS.

IT TAKES A LOT OF GUTS TO

REVEAL WHAT'S GOING ON IN THE

HEART AND AS HE WANTED AND

LONGED FOR THE APPROVAL BE

HEARD AND SEEN BY HIS FATHER

AND TO NOT RECEIVE THEN WAS

INJURED SEVERELY.

THE CAREER PATH HE WANTED

DID NOT HAPPEN DEALING WITH HIS

INJURIES AND THEN LIKE SO MANY

OF US CHOSE THE THINGS OF THE

WORLD TO COPE DRUGS SELLING

DRUGS WINDS UP IN PRISON AND

MAKES THE THE ULTIMATE DARK

DECISION TO END HIS OWN.

IT DOESN'T GET MORE HOPELESS OR

DARK THAN THAT WHEN YOU FEEL

LIKE YOU ARE WITHOUT HOPE.

WE PRAISE THE LORD HE SURVIVED

AND THEN A BROKEN MAN HE WAS

PERHAPS HE FELT THE MOST

UNLOVABLE AND THE MOST UNWORTHY

TO RECEIVE THE LOVE OF GOD HIS

HEAVENLY FATHER HE REALIZED HE

WAS SEEN BY HIS HEAVENLY FATHER

.

HE WAS HEARD IN HIS BROKENNESS

BY HIS HEAVENLY FATHER.

THAT VOID WAS FILLED.

IT'S AMAZING HOW GOD LOVES US

WHEN WE FEEL UNLOVABLE, WHEN WE

JUST KNOW WE'RE SO UNWORTHY TO

RECEIVE HIS LOVE AND SON JESUS.

HE REACHES DOWN TO US AND

SAYS I LOVE YOU NOW JESUS SAID

TEN THE ENEMY COMES TO KILL AND

STEAL AND DESTROY AND THE ENEMY

STOLE A LOT FROM JED AND HE

DESTROYED A LOT BUT HE WAS NOT

ABLE TO KILL BECAUSE JESUS SAID

I COME THAT YOU MAY HAVE LIFE

AND HAVE IT IN ABUNDANCE.

AND NOW HERE HE IS PASTORING

SHARING THE THE LIGHT AND LIFE

OF JESUS CHRIST.

PERHAPS YOU FEEL BROKEN AND

UNWORTHY.

MAYBE YOU'VE BEEN INVOLVED OR

SERVED TIME OR YOUR MARRIAGE IS

A WRECK.

YOUR LIFE SEEMS A WRECK.

YOU'RE LIVING IN A SIN.

YOU CAN'T SEEM TO BREAK THE.

LISTEN TO WHAT JED DISCOVERED

THAT HE BY HIS HEAVENLY FATHER

YOU ARE LOVED BY YOUR HEAVENLY

FATHER AND THE WONDERFUL THING

ABOUT JESUS IS HE SEEMS TO

SPECIALIZE IN LOVING BROKEN

PEOPLE ARE YOU BROKEN ARE YOU

FEELING UNWORTHY NOW IS THE TO

SURRENDER LIKE HE DID AND SAY I

GIVE YOU YOU WHO I AM NOW AND

WHO I WILL EVER BE.

PRAY WITH ME NOW IF YOU'RE IN

THAT IF YOU'RE IN THAT DARK

PLACE THERE IS GREAT HOPE FOR

YOU IN JESUS NAME FATHER GOD

RIGHT NOW I PRAY FOR PEOPLE WHO

HAVE WATCHED THIS STORY AND

HOPE IS RISING.

FAITH IS RISING.

HOLY SPIRIT OF GOD TEACHING

KINGDOM OF GOD HEAVENLY FATHER

WELL SEAN WAS A K-9 POLICE

OFFICER WITH HIS PARTNER JAX

ONE NIGHT AT 3 A.M. SOMETHING

WENT TERRIBLY WRONG AND BEFORE

HE COULD COMPREHEND WHAT HAD

HAPPENED SEAN WAS ON THE

PAVEMENT BLEEDING OUT.

I REMEMBER SEEING THE MUZZLE

FLASH.

I FELT LIKE I GOT PUNCHED BY

THE HULK.

I COULD SEE ALL THE BLOOD

AND I CLOSED MY EYES PREPARING

TO OPEN UP AND HAVE HIM A K-9

OFFICER WITH TEN YEARS OF

EXPERIENCE SEAN WHO KNEW WELL

THE DANGERS THAT CAME WITH THE

JOB BUT NOTHING HAVE PREPARED

HIM FOR WHAT WOULD HAPPEN ON

THE NIGHT OF FEBRUARY 21ST,

2021 ABOUT 3 A.M., SEAN

APPROACHED A CRIMINAL IN HIS

CAR WHO EVADED ARREST JUST A

FEW HOURS BEFORE I TELL HIM LET

ME SEE YOUR HANDS.

YOU'RE UNDER ARREST ALL OF A

SUDDEN HE DIVES FROM THE

DRIVER'S SEAT OVER TO THE

PASSENGER SIDE AREA OF THE CAR

AND WHEN I GRABBED ONTO HIS ARM

I GOT INTO THE CAR.

IT WAS A IMMEDIATELY THE TWO

SPILLED OUT OF THE CAR ONTO THE

PAVEMENT AS SEAN STRUGGLED TO

SUBDUE THE CRIMINAL WITH HAND

HE WAS TRYING TO HOLSTER HIS

GUN WITH THE OTHER BUT IT WOULD

NOT GO IN.

I DIDN'T FEEL LIKE AT THAT TIME

THAT I WAS AT THE LEVEL OF

DEADLY FORCE YET I DIDN'T FEEL

LIKE I HAD RISEN THE LEVEL OF

BEING ABLE TO TAKE HIS LIFE

SEAN MANAGED CALL FOR BACKUP IN

THE MIDDLE OF THE FIGHT BUT

THEY WERE STILL SEVERAL BLOCKS

AWAY.

ON ANY OTHER OCCASION HE'D BE

ABLE TO PRESS A BUTTON ON HIS

BEST TO RELEASE HIS K-9 JAX

FROM HIS CRUISER.

BUT THE BUTTON MALFUNCTIONING.

THEN HE LOST HIS GUN.

THE GUN POPS OUT OF MY HAND.

WE MAKE OUR CONTACT AND HE

DIVES AND HE I SEE HIS HAND HIT

THE GUN.

IT UP PERFECT WITH MY FACE.

I KNEW THAT I'D BEEN HIT IN THE

FACE AND I KNEW THAT IT WAS BAD

ENOUGH THAT I HAD BONE COMING

OUT.

NOW I WAS A SAVED CHRISTIAN I

WAS MENTALLY PREPARING MYSELF

TO LEAVE THIS SIDE OF LIFE AND

BE AT HEAVEN'S GATES.

BUT SOMETHING HAPPENED THOUGH

WHEN I CLOSE MY EYES I SAW MY

WIFE AND MY TWO KIDS AND I SAW

THEM AS REAL AS ANYTHING I'M AT

RIGHT NOW IN FRONT OF ME I

LITERALLY FELT LIKE I COULD

REACH OUT.

I COULD TOUCH THEM.

IT WAS LIKE WHEN I SAW THAT

THAT THIS DESIRE TO FIGHT THIS

THING JUST CAME ME THE ONLY WAY

I KNOW HOW TO DESCRIBE IT IS IT

WAS SUPERNATURAL SEAN OPENED

HIS EYES TO SEE THE MAN WITH

WITH HIS GUN AIMED AT HIS HEAD.

HE JUMPED UP SWINGING HIS ARM

AT THE MOMENT IT FIRED SHOOTING

HIS HAND HAD JUST FALLEN BACK

TO THE GROUND AND I GET ON THE

RADIO FOR THE FINAL TIME AND

THAT'S WHEN I SAY HELP.

I'M DONE AND I REMEMBER I

COULD SEE ON THE STREET AND

BLUE AND RED LIGHTS COMING DOWN

THE ROAD SO I KNEW THEY WERE

SHOWING UP.

I KNEW MY HELP WAS FINALLY

THERE WITH HIS JAW SHATTERED IN

THE CAROTID ON HIS RIGHT SIDE

SEVERED SEAN WAS BLEEDING TO

DEATH MIRACULOUSLY AN AMBULANCE

WAS NEARBY AND GOT HIM TO THE

E.R. WITHOUT A MOMENT TO SPARE.

HE STAYED CONSCIOUS THE THE

WHOLE WAY UNTIL HE WAS PUT

UNDER FOR SURGERY.

THE LORD PUT EACH AND EVERY

PIECE OF THIS PUZZLE TOGETHER.

HE PUT EVERY PERSON, EVERY

EQUIPPED PIECE OF EQUIPMENT

EVERYTHING EXACTLY WHERE IT

NEEDED TO BE TO ALLOW ME TO

LIVE THAT NIGHT SUFFERED A

STROKE AND REQUIRED 72 UNITS OF

BLOOD AFTER HOURS AND SURGERY

WHILE LOVED ONES PRAYED, HE

FINALLY STABILIZED.

HE'D GO ON TO HAVE A DOZEN

OPERATIONS TO RECONSTRUCT HIS

JAW AND LEFT HAND AFTER LOSING

A FINGER.

BUT HE RECOVERED QUICKLY TO

WHICH HE GIVES ALL CREDIT TO

GOD HE WORKED THROUGH THOSE

DOCTORS AND SURGEONS HANDS.

I SHOULD BE DEAD FROM A MEDICAL

STANDPOINT BUT GOD HAD OTHER

PLANS AND WORKED A MIRACLE OUT

OF THE SITUATION.

THE SHOOTER WAS APPREHENDED

SHORTLY AFTER FLEEING THE SCENE

AND IT WAS DISCOVERED THAT HE

DROPPED A GUN OF HIS OWN DURING

.

THE FIGHT HE WAS SENTENCED TO

BETWEEN 34 TO 43 YEARS IN

PRISON.

THE LORD SETTLED IN MY HEART DO

NOT BE ANGRY AND DO NOT HATE.

I'VE FORGIVEN HIM FOR WHAT HE

DID TO ME AND THAT'S MY HOPE IN

PRAYER FOR HIM IS THAT HE WILL

COME TO KNOW CHRIST AT SOME

POINT IN HIS LIFE FORCED TO FOR

HE PASSES ON AND THAT CHANCE IS

GONE.

SEAN BACK TO ENJOYING LIFE

WITH HIS FAMILY BOTH HE AND HIS

CANINE JAX RETIRED FROM THE

FORCE AND HE'S GONE ON TO WORK

WITH THE GRAHAM RAPID RESPONSE

TEAM AS A CHAPLAIN COORDINATOR

HE NOW SHARES HIS STORY OF

SURVIVAL AT PUBLIC SPEAKING

EVENTS TO INSPIRE OTHERS AND

ENCOURAGE THEM PUT THEIR FAITH

IN JESUS CHRIST.

THIS WAS TO BE USED TO BRING

HIM HONOR AND GLORY.

I'M GETTING TO DO THINGS INSIDE

OF THIS LIFE THAT IF I HAD NOT

BEEN SHOT I WOULD HAVE NEVER

BEEN ABLE TO DO SPEAK ABOUT GOD

AND, SPEAK ABOUT FAITH AND

SPEAK ABOUT WHAT HE DID FOR ME

AND WHAT HE CAN DO FOR THEM.

IT FEELS INCREDIBLE TO BE ABLE

TO WAKE UP EVERY DAY AND TAKE A

BREATH TO BE ABLE TO CONTINUE

TO MAKE MEMORIES WITH MY KIDS,

WITH MY WIFE AND WORSHIP GOD

AND THANK HIM FOR WHAT HE DID

FOR ME.

SEAN NOT BE HERE TODAY.

HE SHOULD NOT BE HOME WITH HIS

FAMILY HE SHOULD NOT BE WORKING

WITH THE BILLY GRAHAM

ASSOCIATION THAT HAPPENED TO

HIM SHOULD HAVE MEANT THAT HE

WENT OVER TO THE OTHER SIDE YOU

KNOW, GOD'S PLANS AND PURPOSES

US ARE SO UNBELIEVABLY SPECIFIC

THE WORD SAYS THERE'S A DAY

WE'RE TO BE BORN AND THERE'S A

DAY THAT WE GO HOME TO BE WITH

HIM AND HE GOES BOTH BEFORE US

AND US IN OUR JOURNEY HERE.

IT'S TRUE FOR YOU AS WELL.

I SAY THAT TO SOME OF YOU WHO

MIGHT HAVE BEEN GIVEN A BAD

PROGNOSIS TODAY GOD IS IN

CHARGE OF YOUR TURN IT OVER TO

HIM IF YOU NEVER HAVE BEFORE.

BUT WHILE YOU'RE WORKING

THROUGH WHATEVER IT IS YOUR

STRUGGLE IS YOUR HEALTH ISSUES

RELATIONSHIPS.
