[APPLAUSE]
Gordon: WELCOME TO "THE
700 CLUB."
CHRISTIANS FROM ACROSS THE
NATION GATHERED ON
INDEPENDENCE MALL IN
PHILADELPHIA OVER THE
WEEKEND.
THEY CAME TO PRAY FOR THE
FUTURE OF OUR COUNTRY AT
"AMERICA FOR JESUS."
Terry: AND THE MESSAGE
WAS CLEAR: PRAYER IS THE
ANSWER FOR THE PROBLEMS
FACING OUR COUNTRY.
WENDY GRIFFITH HAS THE STORY
FROM PHILADELPHIA.
* ONE NATION UNDER GOD
Wendy: THE SOUNDS OF
PRAYER AND PRAISE PIERCE THE
OVERCAST SKIES IN
PHILADELPHIA, THE BIRTHPLACE
OF OUR NATION.
AS CHRISTIANS CALLED OUT TO
GOD TO FORGIVE OUR SINS AND
RETURN OUR LAND TO ITS
BIBLICAL ROOTS.
WE ARE SUFFICIENT.
WE ARE ENOUGH TO CHANGE THIS
NATION.
WE CAN DO I TODAY.
Wendy: THOUSANDS HAVE
COME FROM ALL OVER THE
COUNTRY HERE, TO
PHILADELPHIA'S INDEPENDENCE
MALL, TO PRAY.
THEY BELIEVE THESE ARE
CRITICAL DAYS FOR AMERICA,
AND THAT THEIR PRAYERS WILL
MAKE THE DIFFERENCE.
I'M EXPECTING A VIRTUAL
AWAKENING TO HAPPEN.
YOU KNOW, A GREAT SHIP
DOESN'T TURN ON A DIME, BUT
WHEN THEY START TO TURN IT,
AT FIRST YOU DON'T FEEL IT,
AND ALL OF A SUDDEN YOU
REALIZE, IF YOU'VE EVER BEEN
ON A CRUISE, WE'RE TURNING
AROUND.
Wendy: PAT ROBERTSON
CALLED AMERICA THE GREATEST
COUNTRY ON EARTH, BUT SAYS
WE NEED UNITY TO STAY
STRONG.
Pat: JESUS SAID, A
HOUSE DIVIDED AGAINST ITSELF
CANNOT STAND.
AND A KINGDOM DIVIDED
AGAINST ITSELF CANNOT
ENDURE.
WE MUST COME TOGETHER AT ONE
PEOPLE, AS ONE NATION UNDER
GOD.
AMERICA IS NOT A
PRESIDENT, IT'S NOT AN
ECONOMY, IT'S NOT A
MILITARY.
OUR HOPE IS IN GIZE JESUS,
THE MESSIAH.
Wendy: AND MESSIANIC
JEWS URGED AMERICA TO KEEP
STANDING WITH ISRAEL.
AS COME IT IS DONE TO
ISRAEL, IT WILL BE DONE TO
THE UNITED STATES OF
AMERICA.
Wendy: DOZENS OF
SPEAKERS PRAYED THAT AMERICA
COULD BE DELIVERED FROM THE
SEVEN DEADLY SINS: PRIDE,
GREED, LUST, ENVY,
GLUTENY...
LORD, ALL ACROSS THE
NATION, GOD, THAT YOUR
PEOPLE WOULD BE STRONG IN
THIS HOUR.
THAT WE WOULD NOT PUT OUR
HEADS IN THE SAND, FATHER.
WE'LL MARK THIS DAY IN
THE ANALS OF THE HISTORY OF
THE CHURCH, THAT THE NATION
BEGAN TO TURN BACK TOWARDS
GOD.
Wendy: WENDY GRIFFITH,
CBN NEWS, PHILADELPHIA.
Gordon: THERE IS PLENTY
TO PRAY ABOUT IN AMERICA
TODAY, AND THE SUPREME COURT
IS GOING TO BE STARTING ITS
SESSION.
WENDY GRIFFITH HAS THAT
STORY.
Wendy: THE SUPREME
COURT COULD HEAR IMPORTANT
CASES AND SAME-SEX MARRIAGE
AS ITS NEW TERM BEGINS
TODAY.
AND THE COURT WILL HEAR
ARGUMENTS ON AFFIRMATIVE
ACTION AND VOTING RIGHTS.
THE JUSTICES ARE EXPECTED TO
CONSIDER DIFFERENT CASES ON
MARRIAGE.
SOME INVOLVE THE DEFENSIVE
MARRIAGE ACT, AND OTHERS
WILL ASK THEM TO UP HOLD
PROPOSITION 8, WHICH BANS
SAME-SEX MARRIAGE.
JERRY BROWN HAS SIGNED A
BILL BANNING THERAPY TO HELP
TEENAGERS TO TURN STRAIGHT.
BEGINNING JANUARY 1st,
THERAPISTS ARE FORBIDDEN TO
TELL ANYONE UNDER 18 THAT IT
IS POSSIBLE TO CHANGE THEIR
GENDER.
SOME SAY IT HELPED THEM
OVERCOME SAME-SEX ATTRACTION
SPARKED BY CHILDHOOD SEXUAL
ABUSE.
CONSERVATIVE RELIGIOUS
GROUPS ARGUE THAT THE BAN
TAKES AWAY PARENTS' RIGHTS
TO PROVIDE PSYCHOLOGICAL
HELP FOR CONFUSED CHILDREN.
THEY'RE GETTING THEMSELVES
ARRESTED IN FRONT OF THE
WHITE HOUSE.
MANY RELIGIOUS AND OTHER
ORGANIZATIONS THAT DON'T
BELIEVE IN BIRTH CONTROL AND
OTHER REQUIREMENTS OF THE
LAW HAVE SAID THEY WON'T
COMPLY WITH IT.
THEY ARGUE THEY SHOULDN'T
HAVE TO PROVIDE DRUGS THAT
CAN INDUCE ABORTIONS.
THE PROTESTORS BELIEVE THE
LAW VIOLATES THEIR FREEDOM
TO PRACTICE THEIR RELIGION.
GORDON, WHAT DO YOU THINK?
Gordon: I AGREE WITH
THESE PROTESTORS.
AND THEY'RE USING SCRIPTURE,
ACTS 5: 29, WHERE THE
APOSTLES, WHEN TOLD TO STOP
PREACHING THE GOSPEL, THEY
SAID, WE WOULD RATHER OBEY
GOD THAN MAN.
FOR THESE PROTESTORS, WE
NEED TO STAND UP FOR
RELIGIOUS FREEDOM.
WE NEED TO STAND FOR FREEDOM
OF CONSCIOUS.
THE SUPERIOR COURT IS
BACKING THEM ON A RECENT
CASE THAT DISALLOWED THE
FIRING OF A PHARMACIST
BECAUSE HE WOULDN'T
DISTRIBUTE THE MORNING-AFTER
PILL.
WE'LL SEE.
IT WILL PROBABLY END UP IN
THE COURTS.
AND YET, AGAIN, MORE REASON
TO PRAY FOR AMERICA.
WE'RE ENCOURAGING YOU TO
PRAY, AND PRAY THAT WE WOULD
BE UNNATION UNDER GOD.
HERE IS THE SCRIPTURE THAT
WE'RE USING.
IT IS FROM THE BIBLE, FROM 2
CHRONICLES 7: "IF MY PEOPLE,
WHO ARE CALLED BY MY NAME,
SHALL HUMBLE THEMSELVES AND
SEEK MY FACE AND TURN FROM
THEIR WICKED WAYS, THEN I
WILL HEAR FROM HEAVEN AND
WILL FORGIVE THEIR SIN AND
WILL HEAL THEIR LAND."
ALL IT TAKES FOR CHRISTIANS
TO PRAY.
"IF MY PEOPLE, WHO ARE
CALLED B BY MY NAME."
SO DO THAT AND MAKE SURE
YOU'RE PRAYING FOR ONE
NATION UNDER GOD.
WE'LL BE RIGHT BACK WITH
MORE OF "THE 700 CLUB" AFTER
THIS.
Gordon: TODAY STEWART
TOP TOPP OWNS A THRIVING
HOME REPAIR BUSINESS, BUT
JUST TWO YEARS AGO, HE WAS
$200,000 IN DEBT AND ABOUT
TO FILE BANKRUPTCY.
HERE IS WHAT STOPPED HIM.
Reporter: WHEN STEWART
TOPP HAD A SERIOUS CAR
ACCIDENT, BOTH HIS HEALTH
AND HIS FINANCES TOOK A
HIT.
I WAS IN THE HOSPITAL FOR
21 DAYS.
I HAD BROKEN RIBS, BROKEN
EVERYTHING.
WHEN I GOT OUT OF THE
HOSPITAL, I HAD NO WAY TO
GENERATE ANY INCOME.
Reporter: UP UNTIL HIS
ACCIDENT, STEWART HAD BEEN
DOING EXTREMELY WELL WITH
HIS MAUI-BASED HIGH-END
RENOVATION COMPANY.
NOW HE WAS $10,000 BEHIND
WITH COMPANY RENT PAYMENTS
AND UNSURE OF THE FUTURE OF
HIS BUSINESS.
I COULDN'T WORK FOR MANY
MONTHS.
Reporter: THEN THERE
WERE THE UNPAID BILLS FROM
HIS ACCIDENT.
IT GOT REAL STRESSFUL,
AND THE NEXT THING I KNOW,
THEY WERE GOING TO TURN ME
INTO THE ATTORNEY-GENERAL TO
FORCE ME TO PAY A HOSPITAL
BILL THAT IS WELL OVER
$200,000.
Reporter: MEANWHILE,
STEWART SAW PAT ROBERTSON ON
"THE 700 CLUB," TEACHING
ABOUT THE VALUE OF GIVING.
I UNDERSTOOD THE
PRINCIPLE.
I DIDN'T KNOW IF IT WOULD
WORK.
AND I WATCHED ALL OF THE
DIFFERENT THINGS THAT CBN IS
DOING WORLDWIDE, AND I
THOUGHT, WOW, I REALLY WANT
TO BECOME PART OF THIS.
Reporter: HE TOOK A
STEP OF FAITH AND BECAME A
2500 CLUB MEMBER.
WHEN I DECIDED TO DO
THAT, A SERIES OF THINGS
HAPPENED.
THE PEOPLE I RENT FROM
CALLED ME UP ONE DAY AND
SAID WE'RE FORGIVING YOUR
RENT.
AND I JUST SAID, WHAT?
Reporter: THEN AN
INSURANCE CARRIER PAID HIS
MEDICAL BILLS.
ON TOP OF THAT, THE WORK
STARTED POURING IN.
ALL OF A SUDDEN THESE
JOBS I WAS HOPING TO GET, I
WAS GETTING.
BIG JOBS.
Reporter: LATER STEWART
MARRIED MICHELLE, WHO HAD
BEEN A CBN PARTNER FOR
YEARS.
SHE INTRODUCED STEWART TO
PRINCIPLES SHE HAD LEARNED
FROM PAT ROBERTSON'S BOOK.
THE LAW OF RECIPROCITY,
THE LAW OF PERSEVERANCE,
TOOK ME FROM NOT KNOWING
ANYTHING IN LIFE, TO NOT
HAVING ANYTHING IN LIFE, TO
BE BEING VERY BLESSED
SPIRITUALLY, AND
FINANCIALLY.
Reporter: TOGETHER THE
TOPPS BECAME CBN FOUNDERS,
AND NOW EVEN THEIR GIFTS TO
EACH OTHER REFLECT THEIR
DESIRE TO GIV OTHERS.
FOR HER BIRTHDAY, I GAVE
HER A WATER WELL, AND FOR MY
BIRTHDAY, HE GAVE ME A WATER
WELL.
WHAT IS BETTER THAN THAT.
ANYBODY CAN MAKE AN
EXCUSE NOT TO GIVE.
IT'S A CHOICE, AND IT IS
SOMETHING THAT SHOULD BE
DONE BASED ON FAITH.
DON'T WORRY ABOUT ANYBODY
ELSE, WHAT THEY THINK.
THEY'LL ALL TELL YOU YOU'RE
WASTING YOUR MONEY.
YOU'RE WASTING YOUR TIME.
I CAN TELL YOU RIGHT NOW
YOU'RE NOT WASTING EITHER.
THE LORD IS WITH ME, HE IS
WITH MY WIFE.
WE HAVE A WONDERFUL LIFE.
WE'RE DOING WELL, AND IT'S
ALL BECAUSE OF THE LORD.
AND IF YOU DON'T TITHE,
YOU'LL NEVER UNDERSTAND
THAT.
Gordon: YOU HAVE TO DO
IT TO UNDERSTAND IT.
IT SEEMS COUNTER-INTUITIVE,
BUT YOU ACTUALLY CAN GAIN BY
GIVING.
HERE IS THE PROMISE, FROM
PROVERBS 11: "IT IS POSSIBLE
TO GIVE AWAY AND BECOME
RICHER.
IT IS ALSO POSSIBLE TO HOLD
ON TOO TIGHTLY AND LOSE
EVERYTHING.
YES, THE LIBERAL MAN SHALL
BE RICH BY WATERING OTHERS,
HE WATERS HIMSELF."
STEWART QUESTIONED IT.
HE SAID, I UNDERSTOOD THE
PRINCIPLE, BUT I DIDN'T KNOW
IF IT WOULD WORK.
THEN HE TRIED IT AND GOD
CAME THROUGH FOR HIM.
LET GOD WORK FOR YOU.
IT IS ONE OF THE GREAT
PRINCIPLES HE HAS LAID
DOWN.
YOU SEE IT AGAIN AND AGAIN
IN THE BIBLE.
GIVE AND IT WILL BE GIVEN
UNTO YOU.
TODAY CASEY IS WORKING HIS
DREAM JOB AND HIS BUSINESS
IS GROWING EVERY YEAR.
BUT IT WASN'T LONG AGO THAT
CASEY AND HIS WIFE WERE DEEP
DEBT AND BARELY EVEN ABLE TO
BUY FOOD.
Reporter: WHEN YOU MEET
CASEY, YOU'RE MEETING A REAL
COWBOY.
CASEY, THIS WIFE, NATASHA,
AND HIS FOUR CHILDREN WORK
AND LIVE ON THIS SPRAWLING
RANCH.
IT'S LONG, HARD WORK.
YOU DON'T REALLY HAVE A
DAY OFF WITH RANCHING.
IT'S 40 BELOW, AND YOU'RE
STILL GOING OUT AND TAKING
CARE OF THE ANIMALS BECAUSE
THAT'S YOUR LIVELIHOOD.
Reporter: CASEY SAYS HE
WOULDN'T HAVE IT ANY OTHER
WAY.
I'M THANKFUL FOR BEING
AROUND MY KIDS AND MY
FAMILY.
Reporter: BUT BEFORE HE
GOT HIS DREAM JOB OF WORKING
AT A RANCH, HE WAS WORKING
AT A CATTLE RANCH.
NEWLY MARRIED AND EXPECTING
THEIR FIRST CHILD, THEY WERE
STILL FACING A MOUNTAIN OF
DEBT.
THE BILLS STARTED ADDING
UP.
JUST WONDERING WHERE OUR
GROCERY MONEY IS GOING TO
COME FROM, OR IF WE'RE GOING
TO BE ABLE TO PAY BILLS, AND
REALLY WHAT IS GOING TO
HAPPEN TO THE FAMILY.
Reporter: AND THAT
WEIGHED HEAVILY ON CASEY.
HIS PARENTS DIVORCED BECAUSE
OF MONEY.
SO I CHASED
GET-RICH-QUICK SCHEMES AND
NONE OF THEM WORKED OUT.
I NEEDED MONEY TO KEEP MY
MARRIAGE TOGETHER.
AND IT WAS HORRIBLE BECAUSE
I COULDN'T DO THAT.
I WAS FAILING.
Reporter: BETWEEN
CREDIT CARD DEBT AND THE
ILL-FATED BUSINESS VENTURES,
THEY WERE ABOUT $40,000 IN
DEBT AND THEY DIDN'T NO KNOW
WHAT TO DO.
THEN THEY STARTED WATCHING
"THE 700 CLUB" IN 2007, THEY
LEARNED SOMETHING THAT
REALLY CHANGED THEIR CONCEPT
OF MONEY.
GOD LAID IT ON OUR HEARTS
THAT WE NEEDED TO START
TITHING.
AND THEY WE NEEDED TO TRUST
HIM AND HE WOULD HELP US
THROUGH.
Reporter: THE COUPLE
STARTED GIVING, AND ALMOST
INSTANTLY THEY SAW A CHANGE
IN THEIR FINANCES.
SOMEHOW WE HAD MONEY LEFT
IN OUR CHECKBOOK, BUT
NOTHING CHANGED.
Reporter: THEN HIS HARD
WORK PAID OFF.
HIS BOSS ASKED CASEY TO RUN
TWO RANCHES.
OUR INCOME ALMOST DOUBLED
RIGHT FROM THEN.
Reporter: CASEY AND
NATASHA ARE NOW DEBT-FREE.
AND THEY WANT TO ENCOURAGE
OTHERS TO TAK START
GIVING.
YOU NEED TO TAKE THAT
FIRST STEP.
TRUST GOD AND LET HIM
TAKE CARE OF YOUR CHECKBOOK
AND YOUR FINANCES.
AND DON'T WORRY ABOUT IT,
BECAUSE YOU'LL BE TAKEN CARE
OF AND HE'LL COVER IT FROM
YOU.
Gordon: PALM 128:
"BLESSED ARE ALL WHO FEAR
THE LORD AND WHO WALK IN HIS
WAYS.
YOU WILL EAT THE FRUIT OF
HIS LABOR, AND BLESSINGS AND
PROSPERITY WILL BE YOURS.
THUS IS THE MAN BLESSED WHO
FEARS THE LORD."
CASEY AND NATASHA PUT THOSE
PRINCIPLES INTO PRACTICE AND
GOD CAME THROUGH FOR THEM,
AND HE WILL COME THROUGH FOR
YOU.
IF I CAN GET A DRUMROLL,
SOME WONDERFUL CBN PARTNERS
JUST LIKE CASEY SAY WE LOVE
GIVING AND WE'RE GOING TO
CHALLENGE YOU.
THAT MEANS THEY'LL MATCH
YOUR GIVING, DOLLAR FOR
DOLLAR, UP TO $75,000.
LORD, WE ASK FOR BLESSING
FOR THIS.
WE ASK FOR INCREASE.
WE ASK FOR MULTIPLICATION.
AND, LORD, ESPECIALLY
MULTIPLICATION FOR THOSE WHO
GIVE AS THEY GIVE IN FAITH,
JUST MULTIPLE, INCREASE
THEM, LORD, FOR WE ASK IT IN
JESUS' NAME.
AMEN.
YOU HEARD IT, $75,000, 30
MINUTES ON THE CLOCK.

IS SAY, OKAY, I'LL TRY IT.

TERRY?
Terry: WELL, PHAN LOVES
GOING TO SCHOOL AND PLAYING
WITH HER FRIENDS.
BUT NOT LONG AGO, THIS YOUNG
VIETNAMESE GIRL HAD NO PLACE
TO LIVE AND NO ONE TO TAKE
CARE OF HER.
THERE WAS ONLY ONE THING
PHAN WANTED IN LIFE, TO HAVE
A FAMILY.
HER CHALLENGES BEGAN WHEN
SHE WAS ONLY ONE.
HER MOTHER ABANDONED HER,
AND HER FATHER RAISED HER
UNTIL HE DIED IN A
MOTORCYCLE ACCIDENT.
PHAN WAS ONLY EIGHT AT THE
TIME.
SHE WENT TO LIVE WITH AN
UNCLE AT THE TIME, BUT HE
WAS TOO POOR TO KEEP HER,
AND SHE HAD TO DROP OUT OF
SCHOOL.
I KNEW THAT I WAS AN
ORPHAN AND WONDERED WHO
WOULD TAKE CARE OF ME.
Terry: SO PHAN CAME TO
LIVE HERE AT THIS HOME FOR
CHILDREN SPONSORED BY CBN'S
"ORPHANS' PROMISE."
I WAS ACTUALLY FORWARD TO
COMING HERE.
I WAS NOT SCARED.
THE OTHER KIDS HELPED ME
FEEL AT HOME RIGHT AWAY.
Terry: AND THAT HAS
MADE ALL OF THE DIFFERENCE
FOR PHAN.
WITH HER NEW BROTHERS AND
SISTERS AND NEW HOUSE
PARENTS, SHE FEELS LIKE PART
OF A FAMILY.
IT IS BEAUTIFUL HERE.
I HAVE FOUND MY HOME AND MY
FAMILY AT LAST.
Terry: PHAN IS BACK IN
SCHOOL, SHE IS EATING THREE
MEALS A DAY, AND SHARES A
BEAUTIFUL BEDROOM WITH HER
NEW FRIENDS.
A ROOM DECORATED THANKS TO
ANOTHER SPECIAL GIFT FROM
CBN'S "ORPHANS' PROMISE."
THANK YOU TO THE PEOPLE
WHO HELPED MIKE THI MAKE
THIS HAPPEN.
THANK YOU, CBN.
Terry: THANK YOU, CBN
PARTNERS.
YOU ARE THE ONES WHO MAKE
THAT HAPPEN.
CAN YOU IMAGINE BEING A
CHILD, AND SHE KNEW WHAT IT
MEANT TO BE AN ORPHAN.
SHE HAD NO ONE LOOKING OUT
FOR HER, AND NO PLACE TO
BELONG, AND THEN YOU STEPPED
RIDER IN THE MIDDLE OF HER
NEED AND GAVE HER A FAMILY
AND A PLACE TO BELONG TO.
FOOD, HOPE, EDUCATION --
THAT'S THE THING WE'RE DOING
AROUND THE WORLD.
IT IS ALSO THE REASON WE'RE
ASKING YOU TO PARTNER WITH
US TODAY.
JOIN "THE 700 CLUB," 65
CENTS A DAY, $20 A MONTH,

YOU DO.

DEEP SATISFACTION KNOWING
THAT YOU MADE A DIFFERENCE
IN THE LIVES OF THOSE
PRECIOUS PEOPLE WHO HAVE
NEEDS.
GORDON?
Gordon: WHEN DANNY AND
GINA LOST THEIR HOME IN
HURRICANE ISAAC, THEY DIDN'T
FALL APART.
WHAT THEY DID WAS GET OUT
AND HELP OTHER PEOPLE IN THE
SAME SITUATION.
SO WE DECIDED TO RETURN THE
SITUATION.
WATCH THIS.
I'VE NEVER BEEN IN A
HURRICANE WHERE I WAS
ACTUALLY IN THE CONDITIONS
THAT I WAS IN THIS TIME.
Reporter: DURING THE
WORST OF HURRICANE ISAAC'S
FLOODING, GINA HUNTER AND
HER FAMILY FLED TO SAFETY.
HER HUSBAND, DANNY, STAYED
BEHIND, USING HIS BOAT TO
RESCUE MORE THAN A DOZEN
NEIGHBORS.
I WAS GETTING PHONE CALLS
WITH PEOPLE TRAPPED IN THEIR
HOUSES.
WE KNEW WE HAD TO GET TO
THEM.
FANNY IS THE KIND OF
PERSON WHO IS GOING TO HELP
OTHER PEOPLE, AS LONG AS HE
IS ABLE TO.
Reporter: AS THE WATERS
RECEDED, DANNY AND GINA'S
HOME SAT IN THE MIDDLE OF
THE ROAD.
IT WAS A FEW HUNDRED
YARDS UP THE HIGHWAY.
Reporter: THEIR HOME
HAD TO BE DEM LIRBLED, BUT
-- DEMOLISHED, BUT IN THE
MIDST OF THEIR TRAGEDY,
THEIR DAUGHTER FOLLOWED,@
THEIR DAD'S EXAMPLE.
SHE SAID, MOM, WE CAN SIT
HERE OR WE CAN GO OUT AND
HELP OTHER.
Reporter: SO THEY
VOLUNTEERED WITH "OPERATION
BLESSING."
THEY WORKED WHEREVER THEY
WERE NEEDED AND GAVE A WORD
OF ENCOURAGEMENT TO EVERYONE
THEY NEEDED.
THEY SERVED HOT MEALS TO
FIRST SPONDERS AND PEOPLE IN
THE COMMUNITY.
DANNY AND GINA HAD INSURANCE
AND THEY WILL EVENTUALLY
HAVE A NEW PLACE TO STAY.
SO "OPERATION BLESSING"
TRANSFORMED THEIR SMALL
GARAGE INTO A SMALL
APARTMENT, WHERE THEY CAN
LIVE WHILE THEY REBUILD.
IT JUST MEANS SO MUCH.
IT WOULD TAKE A MIRACLE FOR
GOD TO COME AND STEP INTO MY
LIFE AND DO THIS.
WE ACTUALLY HAVE A HOME
WE CAN COME AND LIVE IN AND
SLEEP IN.
IT IS PRICELESS.
YOU CAN'T PUT A DOLLAR VALUE
ON EVERYTHING "OPERATION
BLESSING" HAS DONE FOR
EVERYONE, INCLUDING MYSELF
AND MY FAMILY.
Gordon: YOU CAN'T PUT A
DOLLAR VALUE ON GIVING
PEOPLE HOPE, BUT WHAT WE CAN
DO IS DO THAT.
WE CAN GO OUT THERE AND GIVE
THEM HOPE AND LET THEM KNOW
WE LOVE THEM, GOD LOVES
THEM, AND WE'RE HERE FOR
THEM.
IF YOU WANT TO BE A PART OF
IT, IF YOU WANT TO BE A PART
OF EVERYTHING WE DO, ALL YOU
HAVE TO DO IS JOIN "THE 700
CLUB."
IT IS JUST $20 A MONTH, 65
CENTS A DAY, AND YOU JOIN
WITH TENS OF THOUSANDS OF
PEOPLE WHO SAY YES, WE WANT
TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE.
WHEN DISASTERS STRIKE, WE
WANT TO STRIKE BACK.
WHEN PEOPLE ARE IN NEED, WE
WANT TO HELP THEM.
IF THAT IS YOU, CALL US.
AND WHEN YOU CALL, ASK FOR
PLEDGE EXPRESS.
THAT'S MONTHLY GIVING, THE
BANK DOES ALL OF THE WORK.
THERE ARE NO CHECKS TO
WRITE, NOTHING TO MAIL IN.
WE SAVE SO MUCH ON THE PROS
TESSING, W -- PROCESSING,
WE CAN SEND BACK TO YOU
"POWER FOR LIFE," OUR
MONTHLY TEACHING C.D.
SO ASK FOR THAT WHEN YOU
CALL.
WENDY?
Wendy: SATURDAY, I WAS
IN THE BIRTHPLACE OF OUR
NATION, WHERE OUR FOUNDING
FATHERS SIGNED THE SECRATION
DECLARATION.
YOU CAN FIND OUT MORE IN PAT
ROBERTSON'S LATEST TEACHING
"GOD'S PLAN FOR AMERICA."
Wendy: HE SURE DOES.
GOD SAYS IN HIS WORD, "I
KNOW THE PLANS I HAVE FOR
YOU.
PLANS TO PROSPER YOU, NOT TO
HARM YOU.
PLANS TO GIVE YOU HOPE AND A
FUTURE."
GOD WANTS YOU TO HAVE HOPE
TODAY.
HE WANTS YOU TO GET EXCITED
ABOUT YOUR FUTURE.
AND YOU KNOW WHAT?
THE BEST IS YET TO COME FOR
YOU AND FOR AMERICA.
"GOD'S PLAN FOR AMERICA, HOW
TO PREPARE FOR THE DAYS
AHEAD."
THIS IS OUR GIFT TO YOU WHEN
YOU CALL US TODAY AND JOIN
"THE 700 CLUB."
1-800-759-0700 IS THE NUMBER
TO CALL, OR YOU CAN LOG ON
TO CBN.COM.
I WAS UP IN PHILADELPHIA
OVER THE WEEKEND, AND THEY
WERE PRAYING FOR AMERICA.
AND THERE WAS HOPE.
YOU COULD FEEL IT IN THE
AIR.
GOD IS MOVING.
THIS WILL GET YOU EXCITED
AND TEACH YOU HOW TO PRAY,
AND GET YOU EXCITED ABOUT
THE DAYS AHEAD.
WON'T YOU GIVE US A CALL,
1-800-759-0700, OR
CBN.COM.
WE'RE IN THE MIDDLE OF A
CHALLENGE, SO THAT MEANS
EVERY DOLLAR YOU GIVE WILL
BE MATCHED DOLLAR, FOR
DOLLAR.
GORDON?
Gordon: WHEN J.D. LOST
HIS JOB, HIS BILLS PAID UP.
Reporter: FOR YEARS,
J.D. WORKED LONG HOURS AS A
REGIONAL SALES MANAGER IN
TEXAS.
HE AND HIS WIFE, JANET, WERE
ALWAYS ABLE TO PAY THEIR
BILLS ON TIME AND WERE EVEN
ABLE TO PUT A LITTLE MONEY
IN A RETIREMENT ACCOUNT.
THEN J.D. LOST HIS JOB IN
THE STOCK MARKET CRASH OF
2008.
I NEVER SAW THIS COMING.
I WAS TERRIFIED.
I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT I WAS
GOING TO DO.÷÷
Reporter: AFTER SIX
WEEKS, J.D. COULDN'T FIND A
JOB, AND HIS SEVERANCE PAY
RAN OUT.
SOON AFTER THAT, HIS CAR
BROKE DOWN, AND HE FOUND A
CRACK IN THE FOUNDATION OF
HIS HOME THAT NEEDED
IMMEDIATE REPAIR.
IN A FEW MONTHS.
THEY WERE $9,000 INTO DEBT.
J.D. HAD TO DIP INTO THEIR
RETIREMENT.
WHEN WE GOT INTO THE
401K, THAT'S SCARY.
BECAUSE YOU THINK, WHEN
THAT'S GONE, IT'S GONE.
THEN WHAT?
IT REALLY BEGAN TO WEAR
ON ME.
I CAN'T SLEEP AT NIGHT.
THERE WAS WEIGHT LOSS; I
COULDN'T EAT RIGHT.
IT FELT LIKE THE WHOLE WORLD
WAS CLOSING IN ON ME.
Reporter: J.D. AND
JANET BEGAN PRAYING FOR THE
FIRST TIME IN THEIR
MARRIAGE, AND THEY STARTED
WATCHING "THE 700 CLUB."
THE LORD REACHED OUT TO
ME IN THE SHOW, ABOUT A
WOMAN WHO HAD SIMILAR
CIRCUMSTANCES, AND SHE JUST
PRAYED THAT THE LORD WOULD
GIVE HER A SECOND CHANCE.
AND THE INSTANT I SAW IT, I
KNEW THAT IS WHAT I NEEDED.
THE LORD JUST SPOKE TO ME
AND TOLD ME THAT IS WHERE I
NEEDED TO GIVE.
Reporter: THE COUPLE
HAD BEEN FAITHFUL TITHERS
EVEN DURING J.D.'S
UNEMPLOYMENT.
HE KNEW GIVING BEYOND THAT
WOULD BE A STRETCH.
IT WAS DIFFICULT TO
EXPLAIN TO MY WIFE HOW I WAS
GOING TO DONATE AND I DIDN'T
HAVE A JOB.
BUT IT ALSO PUT ME OVER THE
MARK.
THAT YOU CAN'T JUST SAY YOU
HAVE FAITH AND YOU CAN'T
JUST SAY THAT YOU TRUST, I
NEEDED TO TAKE ACTION.
Reporter: JANET AGREED,
AND THE COUPLE BECAME CBN
PARTNERS.
EVEN WHEN MEDICAL BILLS
BROUGHT THEIR DEBT UP TO
$15,000, JANET AND J.D.
CONTINUED TO GIVE.
I SAID NO MATTER WHAT
HAPPENS, NO MATTER HOW BAD
IT GETS, I'M GOING TO
CONTINUE TITHING AND GIVING,
LIKE I SAID I WOULD, AND GOD
IS GOING TO DELIVER ME ONE
WAY OR THE OTHER.
Reporter: J.D.
STRUGGLED THROUGH FOUR
MONTHS MORE OF UNEMPLOYMENT,
BUT THEN HE WAS FINALLY
HIRED AS A MANAGER.
AND IN LESS THAN A YEAR, HE
LANDED A JOB AS A NATIONAL
SALES REP, MAKING 50% MORE
THAN HE HAD BEFORE.
WOW.
THAT'S ALL I KEPT SAYING,
WOW.
Reporter: J.D. AND
JANET PAID OFF THEIR $15,000
DEBT, AND TODAY THEY SAY
THEY'RE FREER THAN THEY EVER
WERE BEFORE.
WE KNOW BY GIVING HE
BLESSES US.
YOU CAN SEE IT.
GOD JUST WANTED ME TO PUT
MY FAITH AND TRUST THERE
RATHER THAN WORSHIPPING HARD
WORK, WORSHIPPING MY
COMPANY, WORSHIPPING MONEY,
WORSHIPPING ALL OF THOSE
THINGS -- I NEEDED TO
SURRENDER AND WORSHIP HIM.
YOU JUST HAVE TO STEP OUT BY
FAITH.
YOU HAVE TO DO WHAT HE TELLS
YOU TO DO.
Gordon: YOU HAVE TO DO
WHAT HE TELLS YOU TO DO.
HERE IT IS FROM ISAIAH 1:
"IF YOU WILL ONLY OBEY ME
AND LET ME HELP YOU, THEN
YOU WILL HAVE PLENTY."
THAT CAME THROUGH FOR J.D.
AND JANET, AND IT CAN COME
TRUE FOR YOU.
BUT YOU HAVE TO PUT THE
PRINCIPLE IN ACTION.
GIVE, AND IT WILL BE GIVEN
UNTO YOU.
YOU HAVE TO INITIATE IT.
YOU HAVE TO PUT IT INTO
MOTION.
AND FOR J.D., IT TOOK A LOT
OF FAITH.
THIS IS NOT SOME
GET-RISH-QUICK KIND OF
THING.
IT TOOK HIM MONTHS OF GAZING
GIVING THROUGH UNEMPLOYMENT,
THAT IT FINALLY CAME THROUGH
FOR HIM.
HE HAD TO PROVE TO HIMSELF
THAT HE REALLY TRUSTED GOD.
AND EVERY TIME HE GAVE, HE
SHOWED IT.
YOU HEARD HIM SAY HE WAS
CROSSING THE LINE.
HE SAID, I PUT IT OUT THERE
THAT I HAVE FAITH IN GOD.
AND THAT'S WHEN IT HAPPENED
FOR HIM.
IF YOU WANT IT TO HAPPEN FOR
YOU, YOU CAN CALL US.
1-800-759-0700.
JUST SAY I WANT TO JOIN "THE
700 CLUB."
HOW MUCH IS IT?
JUST $20 A MONTH, 65 CENTS A
DAY, AND YOU JOIN TENS OF
THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE WHO WANT
TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE IN THE
WORLD, WHO WANT TO HELP
PEOPLE AND PREACH THE GOSPEL
AROUND THE WORLD.
WHEN IT CAME TO MONEY, RICK
PINCHED EVERY PENNY, BUT HE
STILL DIDN'T HAVE ENOUGH TO
RETIRE, UNTIL HE TOOK SOME
ADVICE FROM HER WIFE.
Reporter: RICK TANDUCK
CAME TO THE UNITED STATES
FROM THE PHILIPPINES WE ONLY
$100 IN HIS POCKET.
OVER THE YEARS, HE WORKED
HARD TO PROVIDE FOR HIS
WIFE, JANE, AND THREE
CHILDREN.
AND ALWAYS HELD FROM TIGHTLY
TO THE MONEY HE EARNED.
I WAS TRYING TO SAVE
WHATEVER I COULD.
WHY?
BECAUSE I'M SCARED OF THE
FUTURE.
Reporter: THE TANDUCKS
LIVED MODESTLY, BUT PUT
MONEY AWAY FOR THEIR KIDS'
COLLEGE EDUCATION.
THEY TOOK OUT LOANS FOR
MAJOR PURCHASE, LIKE THEIR
HOME AND CARS.
AS THEY APPROACHED
RETIREMENT, RICK WORRIED
ABOUT HOW HE AND JANE WOULD
PAY OFF THEIR DEBTS ON A
FIXED INCOME.
THEIR DEBTS HAD GROWN TO
$100,000.
THEN, FOR THE FIRST TIME,
JANE LEARNED ABOUT TITHING
AT CHURCH.
I LEARNED THAT WHAT YOU
KEEP, YOU LOSE, BUT WHAT YOU
GIVE, YOU GAIN.
I SAID TO MYSELF, I THINK
THIS IS THE WAY OUT.
GIVING.
BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT GOD
SAID.
Reporter: RICK DIDN'T
SEE IT THAT WAY.
I SAID TO THE LORD, LORD,
YOU HAVE TO CONVICT THAT
WOMAN, LORD, BECAUSE I THINK
SHE IS WASTING OUR MONEY.
I MEAN, YOU KNOW HOW MUCH I
EARN, LORD.
SO I CAN'T AFFORD TO GIVE
THIS.
Reporter: BUT AFTER
PRAYING ABOUT IT, RICK
DECIDED TO TRUST GOD AND
GIVE TITHING A TRY.
THE TANDUCKS SLOWLY WORKED
THEIR WAY UP TO GIVING 10%
OF THEIR INCOME.
AFTER WE STARTED TITHING,
THERE WERE YOU MONEY COMING
IN, INSURANCE MONEY FROM WAY
BEFORE, TELLING US THAT, OH,
WE JUST FOUND OUT THAT YOU
OVERPAID.
SO HERE IS YOUR REFUND.
GOD NOT ONLY GIVE ME BACK
THE FINANCES, BUT HE GIVE ME
A WISDOM.
WISDOM HOW TO USE THE
MONEY.
WISDOM HOW TO STRETCH THE
MONEY.
WISDOM HOW TO INVEST THE
MONEY.
BEFORE WE WERE GIVING,
THE MONEY THAT WE TRIED TO
SAVE, IT NEVER GROW.
IT NEVER GROW.
BUT AFTER THAT, I'M TELLING
YOU, IT IS JUST
MULTIPLYING.
Reporter: THE TANDUCKS
BECAME "THE 700 CLUB"
PARTNERS AND INCREASED THEIR
PLEDGE SEVERAL TIMES.
THEY ARE LIKE FERTILE
GROUND.
THEY ARE REALLY DOING THE
WORK OF GOD.
100%.
SO MY HEART IS DRAWN TO
THEM.
Reporter: SOON RICK WAS
PROMOTED TO A WELL-PAYING
JOB AS A POSTMASTER.
GOD BLESSED ME WITH THAT
WONDERFUL JOB.
IT IS BECAUSE GOD SAID, IF
YOU HONOR ME FIRST,
EVERYTHING WILL BE BLESSED.
I WILL BLESS ALL OF THE
REST.
Reporter: THE TANDUCKS
WERE ABLE TO SEND THEIR
THREE CHILDREN TO COLLEGE
AND PAY FOR BOTH THEIR
DAUGHTERS' WEDDINGS ALL IN
CASH.
AFTER RICK RETIRED, HE AND
JANE WORKED DILIGENTLY TO
PAY OFF ALL THEIR DEBT.
EVERY TIME I LOOK AT MY
BANK ACCOUNT, I CHUCKLE.
I CHUCKLE AT THE FACT IT IS
GROWING AND GROWING AND
GROWING BECAUSE WE
FAITHFULLY GAVE GOD THE
10%.
I WOULD LIKE TO ENCOURAGE
EVERYBODY, THOSE WHO AREN'T
GIVERS AND WHO ARE
DAUGHTERS, JUST TRUST GOD.
THE MORE YOU GIVE, THE
MORE YOU RECEIVE.
TRUST GOD THAT HE WILL DO
WHAT HE SAID, BECAUSE IN MY
LIFE, HE DID IT.
Gordon: TRUST GOD THAT
HE WILL DO WHAT HE SAID.
HERE IS THE PROMISE, YOU
FIND IT IN MALACHI 3: "BRING
ALL OF THE TITHES INTO THE
STOREHOUSE, THAT THERE MAY
BE FOOD IN MY HOUSE, AND
PROOF ME NOW IN THIS, IF I
WILL NOT OPEN FOR YOU THE
WINDOWS OF HEAVEN AND POUR
OUT A BLESSING THAT THERE
WILL NOT BE ROOM ENOUGH TO
RECEIVE IT."
RICK AND JANE LEARNED THAT.
RICK WAS RESISTANT, HE
DIDN'T WANT TO LISTEN TO THE
ADVICE THAT JANE WAS GIVING
THEM, THAT THEY SHOULD
GIVE.
AND HE EVEN ASKED GOD, TELL
HER TO STOP THIS.
WE DON'T HAVE THE MONEY FOR
THIS.
BUT WHEN HE FINALLY GOT THE
PRINCIPLE, AND TOGETHER THEY
PUT IT INTO PRACTICE, THE
BLESSINGS CAME.
GOD WILL HONOR THIS WORD.
AND WHAT HE HAS DONE FOR
THEM, HE WILL DO FOR YOU IF
YOU JUST TRUST HIM, TO SAY,
ALL RIGHT, LORD, I WILL
TRUST YOU WITH MY MONEY.
IF YOU WANT TO START DOING
THAT, CALL US AND SAY, YES,
I WANT TO BE A MEMBER OF
"THE 700 CLUB."
IT IS JUST $20 A MONTH, 65
CENTS A DAY.
SOME OF YOU SAY YOU CAN GIVE
MORE.
WE'VE GOT "THE 700 CLUB"
GOLD, WHICH IS $40.
AND THERE IS THE THOUSAND
LEVEL, WHICH BREAKS OUT TO
$84 A MONTH.
A WHATEVER LEVEL GOD IS
SPEAKING TO YOU, NOW IS THE
TIME TO CALL.
WE'RE IN A $75,000
CHALLENGE, AND WE'VE GOT 11
1 11 MINUTES TO GO AGAINST
IT.
GIVE US A CALL,

TERRY?
Terry: WHEN TASHA WAS
BORN WITH SOME SERIOUS
DEFECTS, THEY KNEW THERE WAS
NO WAY THEY MADE ENOUGH
MONEY TO HELP HER.
AND TASHA NEEDED NOT ONE,
BUT TWO MAJOR OPERATIONS.
Reporter: 2-YEAR-OLD
TASHA IS NOT YET AWARE OF
THE CLEFT LIP OR THE LUMP
GROWING ON HER FOREHEAD, BUT
HER PARENTS CERTAINLY ARE.
AS I WAS HOLDING HER IN
MY ARMS, I LOOKED AT HER,
AND I COULDN'T HOLD BACK MY
TEARS.
I WONDER IF HER CONDITION
COULD BE FIXED.
WHENEVER I GIVE HER MILK OR
FOOD, IT CAME OUT OF HER
NOSE.
I WONDERED HOW LONG PEOPLE
SURVIVE.
Reporter: TASHA'S
PARENTS LOVE HER VERY MUCH.
TASHA AND I VERY CLOSE
BECAUSE I CARE FOR HER MOST
OF THE TIME.
WHENEVER I HAVE TO GO TO THE
MARKET, SHE CRIES, WANTING
TO GO WITH ME.
Reporter: TASHA'S
PARENTS ARE CHRISTIANS.
THEY LIVE IN A SMALL TOWN IN
INDONESIA, WHERE LAMSON
EARNS A LIVING SELLING BIRD
FEED.
WITH HIS SMALL INCOME, THEY
KNEW THAT SURGERY WAS OUT OF
THE QUESTION.
CBN MADE IT RESPONSIBLE FOR
TASHA TO HAVE THE SURGERY
FOR FREE.
THE NEWS IS SUCH
ENCOURAGEMENT.
I THOUGHT, THIS IS GOD'S WAY
OF PROVIDING HEALING FOR MY
DAUGHTER.
Reporter: TASHA'S CLEFT
LIP SURGERY WAS SUCCESSFUL.
WE THEN ARRANGED FOR THE
SECOND SURGERY TO REMOVE THE
GROWTH ON HER FOREHEAD.
YOU HAVE CHANGED OUR
LIFE.
OUR FEARS FOR TASHA ARE
GONE.
WE FEEL LIKE LEAPING FOR
JOY.
I'M THANKFUL FOR EVERYONE
WHO HELPED HER.
I PRAY THAT GOD WILL BLESS
CBN AND THAT THEY WILL KEEP
HELPING PEOPLE IN NEED.
Terry: TASHA'S LIFE IS
FOREVER CHANGED BECAUSE OF
YOUR GENEROSITY, IF YOU'RE A
"THE 700 CLUB" MEMBER.
WE WANT TO SAY THANK YOU.
YOU ARE STEPPING INTO THE
MIDST OF OTHER PEOPLE'S
CIRCUMSTANCES, WHICH TO THEM
SEEM IM MOVABLE, AND THEN
GOD OFFERS AND I AN
OPPORTUNITY TO MAKE A
DIFFERENCE.
WE'RE ASKING YOU TO STEP UP
TO THE PLATE AND DO THAT
TODAY.
IF YOU'VE WATCHED THIS
PROGRAM FOR A LONG TIME BUT
YOU'VE NEVER CALLED "THE 700
CLUB," TODAY IS THE DAY TO
DO IT.
WE'RE IN THE MIDDLE OF A
CHALLENGE.
THAT MEANS EVERY DOLLAR YOU
GIVE IS MATCHED DOLLAR FOR
DOLLAR.
AND YOU CAN'T GET THAT KIND
OF RETURN ON YOUR MONEY.
ANYWHERE.
AND COUPLE THAT WITH THE
FACT OF KNOWING YOU ARE
TOUCHING AND CHANGING LIVES
AROUND THE WORLD.
1-800-759-0700.
GORDON?
Gordon: WE HAVE A
$75,000 PARTNER, AND SOME
CBN PARTNERS WANT TO ADD
ANOTHER $50,000, AND TAKE IT
UP TO $150,000.
LORD, WE ASK FOR BLESSING
FOR THIS AND INCREASE AND
MULTIPLICATION.
DO IT, LORD.
AND FOR THOSE WATCHING,
MAKING DECISIONS, I JUST ASK
THAT YOU WOULD BLESS THEM
AND ENCOURAGE THEM.
WE ASK IT ALL IN JESUS'
NAME.
AMEN.
YOU HEARD IT, $125,000, 22
MINUTES TO GO.
GO TO THE PHONE AND CALL US,
AND SAY, YES, I WANT TO JOIN
WITH YOU.
I WANT TO BE PART OF "THE
700 CLUB."
JUST $20 A MONTH, 65 CENTS A
DAY.
THE COUPLE IN OUR NEXT STORY
WORKED AROUND THE CLOCK, AND
SCRAPED TOGETHER EVERY PENNY
THEY HAD, BUT IT STILL
WASN'T ENOUGH TO PAY FOR
THEIR DAUGHTER'S SURGERY.
Terry: LOOK MOST TWINS,
WEN JING AND WEN MING HAVE A
LOT IN COMMON, BUT THEY ALSO
HAVE A LOT OF DIFFERENCES.
ONE IS MORE PLAYFUL.
ANOTHER BIG DIFFERENCE, WEN
MING HAS BEEN HEALTHY, WHILE
HIS SISTER HAS ALWAYS BEEN
SICK.
WE HAD TO TAKE WEN JING
TO THE HOSPITAL A LOT FOR
THE FLU.
SOMETIMES FOUR OR FIVE TIMES
A MONTH.
Terry: AND AS THE TWINS
GOT TOLD, THEY NOTICED A
PERSONALITY CHANGE.
SHE COULD ALWAYS MAKE HER
BROTHER LAUGH.
BUT ALL OF A SUDDEN SHE
DIDN'T WANT TO PLAY
ANYMORE.
SHE BARELY TALKED AND HARDLY
EVER SMILED.
Terry: FINALLY, DOCTORS
DIAGNOSED WEN JING WITH A
SERIOUS HEART PROBLEM.
AND IF SHE DIDN'T HAVE
SURGERY SOON, SHE WOULD
DIE.
THEY BOTH WORK AT A FACTOR
FACTORY, AND THEIR COMBINED
INCOME IS JUST $350 A MONTH,
NOT ENOUGH TO PAY FOR
SURGERY TO SAVE WEN JING'S
LIFE.
I CALLED ONE ORGANIZATION
FOR HELP, BUT THEY SAID THEY
DIDN'T WANT TO DO ANYTHING
BECAUSE THEY DIDN'T WANT TO
WASTE THEIR MONEY ON WEN
JING.
THEY SAID HER HEART PROBLEM
WAS TOO SEVERE.
Terry: THEN THEY HEARD
ABOUT CBN.
THE PEOPLE AT CBN WERE SO
NICE.
THEY SEEMED TO REALLY CARE
ABOUT OUR DAUGHTER.
Terry: FIRST WE
ARRANGED FOR A DOCTOR AND
HOSPITAL TO PROVIDE
OPEN-HEART SURGERY.
A SURGEON REPAIRED THE
DAMAGED VALVES IN WEN JING'S
HEART.
AND WITHIN MONTHS, SHE WAS
THE PICTURE OF HEALTH.
WE REALLY THANK CBN FOR
HELPING US WHEN NO ONE ELSE
WOULD.
WE WILL NEVER FORGET YOU.
MY HUSBAND AND I ARE SO
GRATEFUL.
BUT YOU KNOW WHO IS REALLY
EXCITED ABOUT THIS?
HER BROTHER.
I LOVE MY SISTER, AND I'M
SO GLAD THAT SHE'S HEALTHY
NOW.
I CAN RUN AND JUMP, AND I
AM VERY HAPPY.
THE SURGERY HEALED MY
HEART.
Gordon: IF YOU'RE A
MEMBER OF "THE 700 CLUB,"
THANK YOU.
YOU'RE PART OF CHANGING THAT
LITTLE GIRL'S LIFE, AND
CHANGING IN WAYS, FRANKLY,
YOU JUST CAN'T IMAGINE.
SHE IS LITERALLY HAS GONE
FROM DEATH TO LIFE.
ALL MADE POSSIBLE BECAUSE
YOU CARED ENOUGH TO GIVE.
IF YOU'RE NOT A MEMBER, JOIN
WITH US.
JOIN IN EVERYTHING WE'RE
DOING AROUND THE WORLD.
WE'RE IN THE MIDDLE OF A
$125,000 CHALLENGE.
THAT MEANS EVERY GIRLFRIEND
YOGIFT YOU GIVE WILL BE
AUTOMATICALLY DOUBLED, UP TO
$125,000.
WHEN YOU CALL, ASK FOR
ELECTRONIC EXPRESS.
THE BANK DOES ALL OF THE
WORK.
THERE ARE NO CHECKS TO
WRITE.
WE SAVE SO MUCH ON THE
PROCESSING, WE CAN SEND TO
YOU "POWER FOR LIFE," OUR
MONTHLY TEACHING C.D.s.
LET'S GO OVER TO KRISTI AT
THE PHONES.
Kristi: THE ELECTION IS
MORE THAN A MONTH AWAY, AND
MANY OF US ARE PREPARING FOR
THAT TIME.
THAT'S WHY WE'RE PRAYING.
THAT'S WHY WE WANT TO GIVE
YOU THIS, "GOD'S PLAN FOR
AMERICA, HOW TO PLAN FOR THE
DAYS AHEAD."
IT IS OUR GIFT TO YOU.
WHY DON'T YOU TAKE A LOOK.
I WAS JUST WATCHING PAT'S
TEACHING ON GOD'S PLAN FOR
AMERICA, AND I WAS VERY
ENCOURAGED.
I THINK PAT'S TEACHING IS A
BREATH OF FRESH AIR IN AN
ELECTION SEASON.
THERE IS SO MUCH NEGATIVE ON
THE TV RIGHT NOW, AND IT IS
GOOD TO KNOW HOW MUCH OF A
DOWNWARD SPIRAL WE THINK OUR
COUNTRY IS IN, WE STILL HAVE
A COVENANT.
AND PAT ALSO REMINDS US
THERE IS A WAY FOR US TO
RENEW THAT COVENANT IF WE
THINK WE HAVE GONE TOO FAR.
PAT'S TEACHING WAS VERY HIS
HISTORICALLY CORRECT.
IT WOULD BE FOR ANYBODY WHO
IS DISCOURAGED ABOUT THE
STATE OF OUR COUNTRY.
IT'S VERY GOOD NEWS.
Kristi: I THINK THAT'S
WHAT A LOT OF US WANT TO
KNOW.
WE KNOW THAT GOD HAS A PLAN,
A HOPE, AND A FUTURE, BUT
WHAT IS GOD'S PLAN?
THAT'S WHY PAT PUT THIS
TOGETHER.
GOD'S PLAN FOR AMERICA, HOW
TO BE PREPARED FOR THE DAYS
AHEAD, AND IT'S OUR GIFT TO
YOU WHEN YOU BECOME A "THE
700 CLUB."
WE HAVE HEARD FROM SO MANY
PEOPLE ABOUT HOW MUCH THEY
LOVE THIS D.V.D., THAT WE
SAID ONE IS NOT ENOUGH.
SO WE'RE GOING TO GIVE YOU
MORE.
IF YOU CHOOSE TO BECOME A
"THE 700 CLUB" GOLD PARTNER,
THAT'S $40 A MONTH, WE'RE
GOING TO GIVE YOU THREE
D.V.D.s.
IT IS THE SAME D.V.D.
BUT WHAT YOU CAN DO IS KEEP
ONE FOR YOURSELF AND GIVE
TWO AWAY, TO FRIENDS,
FAMILY, AND TO WHOEVER YOU
WANT TO KNOW AND SAY COME,
PRAY WITH US.
IF THAT'S ENOUGH, WE'RE
GOING TO GIVE YOU FIVE DVDS
WHEN YOU JOIN THE THOUSAND
CLUB, WHICH IS $84 A MONTH.
WE'RE IN THE MIDDLE OF AN
ELECTION YEAR, SO IF YOU'VE
NEVER PRAYED FOR OUR
COUNTRY, LET TODAY BE THE
DAY.
ALSO, DON'T FORGET, WHEN YOU
DO, YOU'RE GOING TO BLESS
SOMEBODY.
I PROMISE YOU.
GORDON?
Gordon: KRISTI IS
PREPARING FOR THE ELECTION,
AND I'M PREPARING FOR THE
DAY AFTER, WHEN I STOP
HEARING THOSE ADS SAYING SO
AND SO AUTHORIZED THIS
MESSAGE.
I'VE NEVER LIVED IN A SWING
STATE BEFORE, AND THIS --
VIRGINIA HAS ALWAYS BEEN
SORT OF ESTABLISHED AND
EVERY SINGLE AD IS -- I'LL
BE GLAD WHEN IT IS ALL
OVER.
Terry: ME, TOO.
Gordon: THE GOLF COURSE
IS A GREAT PLACE TO UNWIND
AFTER WORK AND TO SPEND SOME
TIME WITH FRIENDS.
FOR ANTHONY GRIFFIN, IT IS
WHERE HE DEVELOPED A MILLION
DOLLAR IDEA.
Reporter: ANTHONY
GRIFFIN TRAINS SOLDIERS.
BUT WHEN HE IS NOT AT WORK,
HE IS PLAYING GOLF.
HE EVEN STARTED A MINISTRY
THAT COMPARES THE GAME OF
GOLF WITH LIVING A CHRISTIAN
LIFE.
IN GOLF, YOU HAVE GOLF
ETIQUETTE, AND IN MINISTRY,
WE HAVE ETIQUETTE, TOO,
WHICH IS THE KINGDOM OF GOD,
WHICH ARE THE PRINCIPLES AND
LAWS OF GOD.
Reporter: INCLUDING THE
RULE OF TITHING.
YOU GIVE BECAUSE GOD
COMMANDED YOU TO GIVE
BECAUSE A BLESSING IS
PRONOUNCED ON YOUR LIFE
THROUGH GIVING.
THEY'RE TEACHING THE
PRINCIPLES AND PRECEPS OF
GOD OF GIVING, AND THEY'RE
GIVING TO PEOPLE AND NATIONS
OUTSIDE OF OUR COUNTRY.
Reporter: AND GOD GAVE
HIM THE IDEA FOR A UNIQUE
GOLF SHOE DESIGN.
ONE DAY WHILE I WAS
PLAYING GOLF, I WAS HITTING
THE BALL AND A TEE FLIPPED
UP AND WENT INTO MY SHOE.
BECAUSE THE TEE IS WHEN --
WHEN YOU HIT IT, THEY'LL
FLIP.
THIS ONE FLIPPED UP AND IT
CAUGHT INTO MY SHOE.
I WAS LIKE, WHERE DID MY KEY
GO.
THE LORD WAS GIVING ME A
VISION, KEEP IT IN YOUR
SHOE.
Reporter: ANTHONY
DESIGNED A SHOE THAT HOLDS
THE GOLFER'S TEE, RIBBIT
RIBBIT --
IN GOLF, YOU HAVE TO DO
EVERYTHING ON THE GROUND.
EVERYTHING IS ON YOUR SHOE.
YOU'VE GOT TO BEND DOWN
ANYWAY.
Reporter: HIS FIRST
ORDER FROM THE MANUFACTURER
IS 200,000 PAIRS OF SHOES,
WITH 500,000 TO FOLLOW.
ANTHONY IS EXPECTED TO MAKE
MILLIONS.
HE IS GRATEFUL THAT GOD GAVE
HIM SUCH AN INNOVATIVE IDEA,
AND HE FEELS GOD BLESSED HIM
BECAUSE OF HIS FAITHFULNESS
TO GIVE.
JUST TRUST GOD AND WATCH
GOD WORK.
Gordon: JUST TRUST GOD
AND WATCH GOD WORK.
HERE HE IS OUT PLAYING GOLF,
AND GOD GIVES HIM A
BEAUTIFUL IDEA.
THAT'S WHAT GOD DOES, HE
GIVES US IDEAS.
DON'T, FOR A MINUTE, THINK
IT IS BASED ON YOUR OWN WORK
AND EFFORT.
THOSE ARE IMPORTANT, WORK
AND EFFORT ARE IMPORTANT,
BUT IT IS GOD WHO GIVES US
THE POWER TO GET WEALTH.
THAT'S WHAT THE BIBLE SAYS.
IF YOU WANT TO GET ON THE
PLUS SIDE, IF YOU WANT TO
HAVE THIS KIND OF THING
HAPPEN TO YOU, JUST AS IT
HAPPENED TO ANTHONY, GIVE US
A CALL AND SAY YES, I WANT
TO GIVE.
I WANT TO BE A PART OF IT.
1-800-759-0700.
WE'VE GOT 13 MINUTES AND 31
SECONDS LEFT, AND A $125,000
CHALLENGE.
WHAT THAT MEANS IS EXISTING
PARTNERS, JUST LIKE ANTHONY,
SAY WE LOVE GIVING AND WE
LOVE WHAT CBN IS DOING, AND
WE WANT TO ENCOURAGE WHAT
CBN IS DOING.
AND SO THEY'LL MANAGE YOU,
YOU -- MATCH YOU, DOLLAR FOR
DOLLAR.
BE PART OF IT.
GIVE US A CALL,
1-800-759-0700.
TERRY?
Terry: WITH NO PARENTS
AND A GRANDMOTHER WHO BEAT
HER, SULI DECIDED TO RUN
AWAY FROM HOME.
THANKS TO "ORPHANS'
PROMISE," SHE HAD A SAFE
PLACE TO GO.
Reporter: WHEN SULI'S
PARENTS ABANDONED HER, HER
GRANDMOTHER TOOK HER IN.
BUT SHE BECAME HER
GRANDMOTHER'S SLAVE.
MY GRANDMOTHER DEMANDED
THAT I SIT THERE, AND WASH
DISHES AND CLEAN THE FLOOR.
I DIDN'T KNOW ANY OTHER
LIFE.
SHE BEAT ME WITH HER CANE
NEARLY EVERY DAY.
Reporter: ONE DAY SULI
COULDN'T TAKE IT ANYMORE.
SHE BEAT ME LIKE SHE
ALWAYS DID, BUT THIS TIME
WHEN SHE WAS FINISHED, I RAN
AWAY WHEN I GOT SOMETIMES.
Reporter: ANNA TAMBER
RUNS A CHILDREN'S HOME AND
FEEDING CENTRE, SUPPORTED BY
"ORPHANS' PROMISE."
I ASKED HER WHAT'S GOING
ON.
AND SHE SAID TO ME, MY
GRANDMOTHER SAID SHE WANTS
TO KILL ME.
Reporter: ANNA TALKED
TO THE POLICE AND GOT
CUSTODY OF SULI.
SINCE THEN, THE YOUNG GIRL'S
LIFE HAS CHANGED
DRAMATICALLY.
I'M HAPPY HERE BECAUSE I
PLAY WITH OTHER CHILDREN.
NOBODY HURTS ME, AND I'M
FREE TO STUDY.
THIS IS MY FAMILY.
AND I KNOW THAT I AM LOVED.
Reporter: PEOPLE
THROUGHOUT THIS COMMUNITY
RECOGNIZE THIS CENTER AS A
SAFE HAVEN FOR CHILDREN LIKE
SULI, AND THROUGH YOUR
SUPPORT, WE'RE ABLE TO HELP
MERMORE AND MORE CHILDREN
EVERY DAY.
THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING
YOU HAVE DONE FOR US.
Terry: ANNA TEMBA IS A
FORCE TO BE RECKONED WITH,
LET ME TELL YOU.
YOU CAN SEE IT ON THE FACES
OF THOSE CHILDREN, WHEN THEY
COME TO LIVE THERE AND THEY
KNOW THAT THEY'RE LOVED AND
BELONG.
SHE HAS A GIFT FOR HELPING
CHILDREN TO UNDERSTAND THEIR
VALUE, TO KNOW THE GOD THAT
SHE SERVES IS THE FATHER OF
THEM, THAT HE LOVES THEM.
YOU MAKE THAT POSSIBLE.
ANNA IS FEEDING A THOUSAND
CHILDREN.
SHE IS THERE ALONE.
SHE IS THERE EVERY DAY.
SHE IS CONSISTENT.
SHE WORKS WITH PEOPLE WHO
HAVE SPECIAL NEEDS.
THOSE ARE THE KIND OF PEOPLE
AROUND THE WORLD THAT YOU

DAYS ARE OVER.
BUT THAT IS NOT THE CASE.

BUT, YOU KNOW WHAT?
WE HAVE A PART TO PLAY.
HE SAYS "I KNOW THE PLANS I

PLANS TO PROSPER YOU, PLANS

GORDON?
Gordon: OVER THE LAST
FEW YEARS, A DEADLY OUTBREAK
OF CHOLERA IS SPREADING
SPREADING THROUGHOUT HAITI.
HERE IS A LOOK AT WHAT
"OPERATION BLESSING" IS
DOING TO HELP.
Reporter: 6-YEAR-OLD
6-YEAR-OLD NADINE CAME DOWN
WITH CHOLERA AFTER DRINKING
A GLASS OF WATER.
THAT WATER HAD COME FROM A
NEARBY RIVER, THE ONLY WATER
AVAILABLE TO HER COMMUNITY.
THIS IS HER MOTHER.
I ALWAYS DRANK FROM THE
WATER.
I GAVE MY CHILDREN WATER
FROM THE RIVER, TOO.
Reporter: EACH MORNING,
SHE COMES DOWN TO THE RIVER
TO SELECT WATER IN THIS
BUCKET FOR HER CHILDREN.
BUT, SADLY, THIS WATER IS
WHAT CLAIMED THE LIFE OF HER
YOUNGEST SON JUST A FEW
MONTHS AGO.
FAR OUT INTO THE
COUNTRYSIDE, BUT RIGHT NEXT
TO HER VILLAGE, THIS RIVER
IS, IN FACT, THE SOURCE OF
ALL OF THE CHOLERA IN
HAITI.
AND WITHOUT REALIZING IT,
SHE HAD GIVEN HER DAUGHTER
THE SAME WATER THAT HAD
KILLED HER INFANT SON.
WITHIN DAYS, SHE WAS
FIGHTING FOR HER LIFE.
SHE WAS THROWING UP.
I KNEW SOMETHING WAS WRONG.
BUT I DID NOT KNOW IT WAS
CHOLERA.
Reporter: THE DAY THAT
"OPERATION BLESSING" ARRIVED
IN NA NADINE'S VILLAGE, WE
COULD SEE HOW SICK THE
LITTLE GIRL HAD BECOME.
AN "OPERATION BLESSING"
STAFF MEMBER STARTED AN
I.V.
WE THEN TOOK HER TO THIS
HOSPITAL, SET UP TO TREAT
CHOLERA.
SHE SPENT THE NEXT DAYS
THERE ON AN I.V. DRIP, WHICH
SAVED HER LIFE.
BECAUSE OF THE FLOODING,
I HAD NOT BEEN ABLE TO GET
OUT OF THE VILLAGE TO TAKE
HER T TO THE HOSPITAL
ITSELF.
IF "OPERATION BLESSING" HAD
NOT COME, I THINK MY NAD
DEAINE WOULD HAVE DIED.
Reporter: AND
"OPERATION BLESSING"
PROVIDED WATER PURIFICATION
DEVICES FOR DOZENS OF
VILLAGES THERE, INCLUDING
ONE FOR THEIR FAMILY.
AFTER WE GOT THE FILTER,
I WAS NOT AFRAID OF THE
WATER ANYMORE.
GOD SENT YOU TO HELP ME AND
NADINE, BUT SO MANY OTHERS
NEED YOUR HELP.
I HOPE YOU WILL HELP THEM,
TOO.
Gordon: WE WANT TO BE
THERE TO HELP THEM, AND
WE'RE THERE IN YOUR NAME
WHEN YOU GIVE TO "THE 700
CLUB."
IF YOU WANT TO BE A PART OF
IT, PART OF EVERYTHING WE'RE
DOING AROUND THE WORLD, CALL
US AND JOIN.
1-800-759-0700.
AS YOU JUST SAW IN THAT
STORY, THERE IS SO MUCH LEFT
TO BE DONE.
SO WE NEED HELP.
WE NEED PEOPLE TO JOIN WITH
US AND SAY, YES, I WANT TO
BE A PART OF IT, I WANT TO
JOIN "THE 700 CLUB."
IF THAT'S YOU, DO IT NOW.
WHEN YOU CALL, ASK FOR
PLEDGE EXPRESS.
THAT'S ELECTRONIC MONTHLY
GIVING.
THE BANK DOES ALL OF THE
WORK.

MONTHLY TEACHING C.D.s.
TERRY?
Terry: WHEN A
2-YEAR-OLD DEVELOPED A
DEADLY HERNIA, HIS MOTHER
COULDN'T HELP HER.
SHE DIDN'T HAVE ENOUGH
MONEY.
SO, INSTEAD, SH SHE SAID A
PRAYER.
Reporter: HE IS ONLY
TWO YEARS OLD, BUT HAS
SUFFERED WITH A PAINFUL
HERNIA FOR A YEAR AND A
HALF.
WITHOUT SURGERY, HE COULD
DEVELOP GANGRENE OR ANY
NUMBER OF PROBLEMS THAT
COULD KILL HIM.
SOMETIMES I CAN'T EVEN
FEED MY CHILDREN.
THERE IS NO WAY WE COULD
EVER AFFORD A SURGERY FOR
OUR SON.
WE ARE NOT EDUCATED, BUT MY
HUSBAND WORKS VERY HARD.
HE DID CONSTRUCTION FOR A
WHOLE MONTH, BUT WAS ONLY
PAID $100.
I KNOW THAT ONLY GOD CAN
HELP US.
SO I PRAY.
Reporter: WHEN CBN
ORGANIZED A MEDICAL OUTREACH
TO HER VILLAGE.
VERA IMMEDIATELY BROUGHT
RUSLON TO SEE OUR DOCTORS.
WE KNEW HOW SERIOUS HIS
CONDITION WAS.
EVEN SOMETHING HAS MILD AS
COLLICK COULD CAUSE HIS
HERNIA TO BECOME MORE
SERIOUS.
Reporter: WE PAID FOR
RUSLON TO HAVE HIS SURGERY.
HE WAS IN PAIN CONSTANTLY
BEFORE, BUT NOW HE IS VERY
HAPPY.
THAT MAKES ME HAPPY, TOO.
MY HUSBAND CRIED WHEN HE SAW
THAT OUR SON WAS FREE FROM
PAIN.
Reporter: BEFORE WE
LEFT, WE GAVE VERA A WASHING
MACHINE TO MAKE HER LIFE
JUST A LITTLE BIT EASIER.
WE HELPED HER PLOW HER SMALL
GARDEN AND GAVE HER SEEDS
AND POTATOES TO FEED HER
SMALL FAMILY.
NO ONE HAS EVER HELPED US
AS MUCH AS YOU YOU HAVE.
I THANK GOD AND EVERYONE WHO
HAS HELPED US.
Terry: RISLON HAD A
LIFE-THREATENING SITUATION
THAT WAS RESOLVEABLE BY A
SIMPLE SURGERY, BUT HIS
FAMILY DIDN'T HAVE THE MEANS
TO PROVIDE THAT.
YOU STEPPED RIGHT INTO THE
MIDDLE OF THEIR NEED AND YOU
GAVE HIM LIFE, LITERALLY
GAVE HIM LIFE.
WE TAKE MEDICAL MISSIONS
INTO MANY OF THE COUNTRIES
THAT WE'RE IN, FROM THE CITY
OUT INTO THE VILLAGES, AND
OUT INTO THE RURAL
COUNTRYSIDE.
SOME OF THESE PEOPLE HAVE
NEVER SEEN A DOCTOR A DAY IN
THEIR LIVES.
WE'RE PROVIDING THAT FOR
THEM FREE OF CHARGE.
THE MEDICATION THAT THEY
NEED, FREE OF CHARGE.
YOU'RE MAKING THAT KIND OF A
RADICAL DIFFERENCE IN THE
LIVES OF PEOPLE AROUND THE
WORLD WHEN YOU JOIN "THE 700

DO IT TODAY.
IT IS LIFE-GIVING FOR MANY
OF THE PEOPLE WHO'S LIVES
YOU INVEST IN.
OUR NUMBER IS TOLD TOLL-FREE

LET'S GO OVER TO KRISTI AT

Kristi: THANK YOU SO
MUCH, TERRY.
WHEN YOU CHOOSE TO BECOME A
"THE 700 CLUB" PARTNER, WE
WANT TO BLESS YOU WITH
THIS.
IT IS CALLED "GOD'S PLAN FOR
AMERICA."
IN IT, PAT TELLS US WHAT
SETS AMERICA APART FROM
EVERY OTHER NATION ON
EARTH.
WE GAVE OUR VIEWERS A SNEAK
PEEK AND HERE IS WHAT A LOT
OF THEM HAD TO SAY ABOUT
IT.
AS PAT WAS TEACHING, THE
SCRIPTURE HE USED WAS SO
ESSENTIAL FOR US TO
UNDERSTAND GOD'S PLAN.
WHAT WE'RE GETTING FROM
OUR NATIONS' LEADERS IS
GLOOM AND DOOM, REALLY.
BUT PATS TEACHING ON GOD'S
PLAN FOR AMERICA SHOWS US WE
STILL HAVE HOPE.
THIS IS IMPORTANT FOR
TEENAGERS, FOR COLLEGE-AGED
STUDENTS, FOR WORKERS,
COUPLES, SENIOR CITIZENS.
GOD IS GRACIOUS AND
MERCIFUL, READY TO FORGIVE,
SO THERE IS HOPE FOR THE
FUTURE.
GOD MAKES PROMISES AND HE
KEEPS HIS PROMISES.
Kristi: YOU KNOW,
DURING MY PRAYER TIME THIS
MORNING, I WAS TALKING TO
THE LORD, AND JUST THINKING
ABOUT HOW CHAOTIC LIFE CAN
BE.
AND DON'T YOU THINK THAT
SOMETIMES?
YOU TURN ON THE NEWS, AND
YOU LOOK AT THE WORLD, AND
YOU SEE EVERYTHING FROM THE
ECONOMY, TO THIS, THAT, AND
ALL OF THE DIFFERENT
CHALLENGES.
BUT YOU KNOW WHAT?
GOD IS A SOVEREIGN GOD.
HE HAS A PLAN AND A PURPOSE
AND HAS EVERYTHING UNDER
CONTROL.
IT IS THE ESSENCE OF JUST
TRUSTING IN HIM.
WE WANT TO ENCOURAGE YOU IN
YOUR TRUST IN GOD.
THAT'S WHY PAT PUT THIS
TOGETHER, AND IT'S CALLED
"GOD'S PLAN FOR AMERICA, HOW
TO PREPARE FOR THE DAYS
AHEAD."
IT WILL HELP YOU ON HOW TO
PRAY FOR OUR COUNTRY AND HOW
TO PRAY FOR YOUR FAMILY.
FOR 65 CENTS A DAY, $20 A
MONTH IS ALL IT TAKES.
MAYBE YOU'RE SAYING, KRISTI,
I'M ALREADY A "THE 700 CLUB"
MEMBER.
COOL, WHY DON'T WE TAKE IT
TO THE NEXT LEVEL, LIKE "THE
700 CLUB" GOLD, $40 A
MONTH.
WE GIVE YOU THREE.
AND THE SAME THING WITH THE
THOUSAND MEMBER, WE GIVE YOU
FIVE.
Gordon: THE CLOCK IS
WINDING DOWN.
IT IS A GLORIOUS DAY.
WE HAD $125,000 ON THE
CHALLENGE.
AGAINST THAT YOU GAVE
$136,000.
THANK YOU.
WE LEAVE YOU WITH THESE
WORDS FROM PSALM 100: "ENTER
INTO HIS GATES WITH
THANKSGIVING AND INTO HIS
COURTS WITH PRAISE.
BE THANKFUL TO HIM AND BLESS
HIS NAME."
WE THANK GOD FOR THE
WONDERFUL VICTORY TODAY.
AND WE THANK GOD FOR YOU.
FOR
WENDY, KRISTI, TERRY AND
ME, GOD BLESS YOU.
