Violet Williams says, “I want to help people achieve their dreams. When all of that comes together at the end, it’s really exhilarating."

With a doctorate in management and foundation in engineering and applied mathematics, Violet has thrived as an industrial engineer and automotive industry executive. She says her success is driven by her commitment to living out God’s principles of tithing and giving.

She points to Malachi 3 in the Bible.

“Malachi, chapter 3 verses 10 through 12, 'bring you all the tithe into the storehouse so that there's meat in my house, Behold, I will open the windows of heaven and pour you out a blessing.' He said, ‘Prove Me!’”

Graduating college and in her first career job, Violet was recruited by a car manufacturer and began tithing.

“Every day is a new adventure and a new battle. I love seeing the cars roll off.  Everyone has a position to play and a role to ensure success. It’s a team effort.”

During her tenure, Violet was often promoted becoming a lifelong pattern of advancements. By 2013, she had worked her way up to a senior management position, quality director for a vehicle assembly plant.

“My salary rose 500% from what I was earning as a new college graduate in development.  The secret of the Lord is with those who feared him. And he’ll show them his covenant. Tithing, is an integral part of who I am. And it's an act of obedience and worship. I want God’s secrets. I want his innovative ideas.”

Then in 2016, after nearly 30 years in the industry, God led Violet to start her own business, Vision Quality Consulting, LLC.

“It was the strangest thing, God said to leave. ‘I want you to do other things. I'm getting ready to enlarge your territory.’”

“I've always wanted to build quality systems from the ground up, working with suppliers I was able to do that. And within that time, I received this phone call out of the blue. They told me they will lose their contract on four different models if they don't transfer and upgrade and convert their quality system. They asked me, ‘Would you consider it?”

She said yes, and through Violet’s consulting, the business remained in contract and turned around.

Reflecting on this experience, Violet goes on to say, “It just seemed to really come together in a positive, manner. I love the last seven, eight years going into corporations, partnering with CEOs, presidents, general managers, and going to help them optimize their processes. God allowed me to leverage that. That’s God’s favor and it’s not lost on me, makes we wanna tear up. It’s God.”

Today, in addition to consulting, Violet shifted her professional skills and experience into a new career—real estate. 

“He told me, ‘Utilize all the corporate transfers. What you had to learn every time you had to build another house. All of those insights that you have, use that as well.’”

Through it all, violet continues to tithe. She also became a CBN Partner inspired by CBN’s commitment to truth. She loves seeing how her donations are helping people around the world.

“I started taping CBN and just watching it every day, I was like a sponge, and I was hooked instantly.”

“I know that CBN is good ground to sow in. For me personally, CBN is like a bastion of hope.
They're always there on the spot during natural disasters. I love what they're doing with Orphans Promise.”

“Your heart can go places that you can't go. Your spirit can go through sowing a seed and being consistent and being willing to give.”

With every season she credits all to honoring God in tithing,

“You have to become a tither and a giver to maximize the potential that God has created you for. You limit God when you don't obey him. You've got to give God a chance to prove Himself.”

“Remember this—a farmer who plants only a few seeds will get a small crop. But the one who plants generously will get a generous crop.” Will you partner with CBN and help plant generously around the world? Your generous giving brings hope to the hopeless and the truth of God’s Word to millions around the world through our humanitarian efforts. Become a CBN partner today and share the love of Christ.

Seven-year-old Jianguo wants to be a firefighter when he grows up.

“Firefighters are heroes,” he explains.  “They save lives and help people.”

Jianguo is an orphan who, for a long time, wanted someone to rescue him.  He was born with only one atrium in his heart.  His arteries were out of place and he struggled to breathe, so his parents abandoned him.  He’s lived at an orphanage most of his life, where a woman he calls “Auntie” looks out for him.

She cries, “Watching him broke my heart.  He couldn’t exercise.  If you put your hand on his chest, it felt like someone was beating a drum.  And because he lacked oxygen, his lips turned purple.  So did his fingers and toes.”

Since he was sick a lot, he stayed away from the other children.

“I was very lonely.  My heart disease made me feel bad.  And I missed my mom and dad,” he shares.  “One day, I had a really high fever and felt very cold.  Everyone was wearing short sleeves, and I was still shivering under the blanket. : I was afraid I’d die.”

He ended up at the hospital.

“The doctor said his life was in danger,” reports his Auntie from the orphanage.  “I told him, ‘You need to be strong.  You can endure the pain.’”

Jianguo shares, “My teacher said that surgery was the only way for me to get better.”

“Because of his continuous fever, his inflammation was  severe,” his teacher says.  “His heart disease could lead to heart failure, organ failure and sudden death.”

His teacher is a Christian and had been sharing God’s love with Jiangou for years.

“I told him stories about several characters from the Bible. He liked listening to them,” she explains.

Jianguo exclaims, “I believed that God loves me and that He would heal me.”

His teacher adds, “I prayed for Jianguou and asked that God would personally provide a way for him to get surgery.  Then the hospital told us about Operation Blessing, and I said, ‘Great… this must be from God.’”

Soon, you helped make surgery possible for Jianguo.

“I am completely healed and don’t have pain anymore,” declares Jianguo.

His Auntie says, “You have given Jianguo a new life.  He has a bright future  now.”

“He’s happy every day.  He can exercise, eat, and play with the other children,” shares his teacher.

He’s also learning more about God through CBN’s Superbook.

“I like Joy and Gizmo, and how Superbook takes them on adventures,” Jianguo proclaims.  “I tell everyone the story of how Jesus died for us and saved us, how the Heavenly Father heals, and how Jesus is my hero, and Operation Blessing is my hero, too.”

There are many reasons Peter Yang loves being a long-haul  truck driver, including, traveling the nation’s beautiful landscapes, and knowing he’s doing his part to help fellow Americans. He says, “I looked at it as an opportunity, you know, to see the country what an important, integral part trucking is in terms of the, the cog of the, ecosystem of American capitalism. You know the catchphrase is it keeps America moving.”

As he drives, Peter takes time to reflect on life lessons he values like giving generosity and trusting God. It all started with his first career in the computer industry. “I was in a tight budget.
and I was probably barely making, you know, minimum quota and just kind of getting by.”

Peter learned about tithing as a teen and even while struggling financially in his career in computers, generously gave. One day, a letter came in the mail that challenged him to give even more than he thought he could. “It was talking about Israel. It said something about giving a thousand dollars. I was good with giving a hundred dollars, but now this is like another level of giving that I never even imagined. I just couldn’t get rid of it. And I knew it was the tugging of the Lord. Finally, I just said, ‘okay I am going to do it.’”

A month later, he landed an account that amazed him. His income tripled and was awarded bonuses with promotions. “I attribute that to that obedience, where supernaturally God gets involved.”

When COVID hit, Peter saw a new opportunity, and that’s when he in jumped into the trucking industry.  “My colleagues even asked me, ‘What, what the heck are you doing?’”

“I reflected upon, you know, my journey with the Lord. There's a bigger, uh, where who do I trust?  The Bible says have faith in God.’”

He continued tithing. In three years,  he was making six figures. He went from driving a company rig to buying his own truck as an owner operator and starting a trucking business. Peter says, “Honor the Lord with the first fruit of your increase. And, and then, you know, God's going to bless you. God doesn’t need your money. What you’re doing is you’re able to participate in what God does on the earth.”

As Peter continues to give, one ministry he loves to support is CBN. He says, Operation Blessing actually goes to the areas in the world in need, whether someone's, you know, hungry or they need a drink of water. Operation Blessing was there.”

Today, Peter’s journey it’s a testament of faith. He credits God for the success. “If you want to have success in your life, you have to include God in everything that you do, especially your, your business.
I've experienced it in my walk and in my business. And, I encourage everybody to take that journey. Because it, it is a journey. It's a learning experience. And if you obey and just trust God, he's going to bless you.”

In the small community of Los Mogotes, Guerrero, Mexico, 9-year-old Ana's life was turned upside down when Hurricane Otis wreaked havoc on her community and home. The powerful winds destroyed the rooms her parents rented to tourists, severely impacting the family's economy. Almost a year later, the start of the new school year brought back memories of that devastating time. On her first day back at school, Ana had only a single notebook, while her brother managed to reuse an old one from the previous year.

Despite these hardships, hope was on the horizon. Ana's mother learned about CBN Mexico's Orphan's Promise project, "Back to School," which aimed to distribute new backpacks and school supplies to children in some of the poorest communities in Mexico. Excited by the prospect, Ana and her brother joined about 20 other children to participate in the event.

The highlight of the day was the Superbook presentation. Ana, eager to soak in every detail, brought her chair closer to the television. The animated Bible stories captivated her, and she was deeply moved by the messages of faith and resilience. During the presentation, Ana was one of the children who raised her hand to invite Jesus into her heart. It was a touching moment filled with hope and new beginnings.

At the end of the event, Ana and her brother eagerly opened the zippers of their new backpacks. To their delight, they found all the school supplies they needed. This simple act of receiving a backpack filled with supplies brought immense joy and relief to Ana and her family.

Ana's story is a testament to the global reach and impact of CBN Animation’s Superbook, showing how this ministry can touch lives across different cultures and regions, bringing hope and transformation to children and families worldwide. By making biblical stories accessible and engaging, Superbook helps children like Ana connect with the Word of God and experience Jesus’s love in a meaningful way.
