Lee: THEY'RE AMERICA'S
TICKING TIME BOMBS.
THEY'VE ERUPTED BEFORE,
AND THEY WILL ERUPTED
AGAIN.
Lee: WHAT SCIENTISTS
ARE LEARNING FROM VOLCANOS,
AND HOW THEY'RE USING THAT
KNOWLEDGE TO SAVE LIVES.
BUT, BOBBY GOODSON.
FIND A NICHE IN LIFE AND
YOU'LL MAKE A LIVING.
Lee: AND THEN, A LIVE
PERFORMANCE FROM SINGER
WARREN BUFFIELD ON TODAY'S
"THE 700 CLUB."
Gordon: WELCOME TO "THE
700 CLUB."
NEW YORK IS STILL REELING
AFTER TAKING A 1-2 PUNCH BY
SUPERSTORM SANDY, AND THEN
FOLLOWED BY A NOR'EASTER.
AS TODAY BEGINS, MORE THAN
500 PEOPLE REMAIN WITHOUT
POWER IN NEW YORK AND NEW
JERSEY.
Kristi: BUT THE BIG
APPLE, GORDON IS DEALING
WITH ANOTHER PROBLEM.
HEATHER CELLS REPORTS ON GAS
RATIONING.
Reporter: GAS SHORTAGES
IN SANDY'S AFTERMATH HAVE
IMMOBILIZED MANY, AND LED TO
LONG LINES AT THE PUMP.
NOW NEW YORK CITY AND LONG
IL I'LL ARE FOLLOWING NEW
JERSEY -- LONG ISLAND ARE
FOLLOWING NEW JERSEY'S
LEAD.
THEY'RE RATIONING GAS.
ALLOWING COSTUMERS WITH
ODD-NUMBERED LICENSE PLATES
TO FILL UP ON ODD DAYS, AND
CONSUMERS WITH EVEN NUMBERS
TO FILL UP ON EVEN DAYS.
THE WIRES SPARK.
EVERY DAY THEY SPARK FROM
SOMEWHERE ELSE.
Reporter: THE SECOND
NOR'EASTER BLANKETED THE
REGION WITH SNOW AND PLUNGED
SOME BACK INTO DARKNESS.
IT WAS GREAT TO HAVE IT.
AND THEN WE LOSE IT AGAIN.
IT WAS EXTREMELY
FRUSTRATING.
Reporter: AND IT IS HAM
HAMPERING THE NATION'S AIR
TRAVEL.
ON WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY,
THE AIRLINES CANCELLED
ALMOST 2,000 FLIGHTS.
NON-PROFIT EFFORTS ARE
HELPING IN MYSTIC ISLAND,
NEW JERSEY, AND MYSTIC
POINT, NEW YORK.
WE'RE GOING TO HELP
PEOPLE PUT THEIR LIVES BACK
TOGETHER.
THIS IS A COMMUNITY THAT
SURE DOES DESERVE EVERYONE'S
PRAYERS AND ALL OF OUR HOPE
AND ALL OF OUR HELP.
WE'RE GOING TO BE HERE
WORKING FOR QUITE SOMETIME.
Reporter: THE DAMAGE
ESTIMATE FOR SANDY RIGHT
NOW, UP TO $50 BILLION.
THAT'S THE SECOND MOST
EXPENSIVE STORM IN U.S.
HISTORY, RIGHT BEHIND
HURRICAN HURRICANE
KATRINA.
Gordon: IF YOU WANT TO
HELP THOSE IN NEED IN NEW
YORK AND NEW JERSEY, ALL YOU
HAVE TO DO IS CALL US.
CALL 1-800-759-0700.
OUR SLOGAN HERE, OUR MOTTO
IS, "WHEN DISASTER STRIKES,
WE WANT TO STRIKE BACK."
AND WE WANT TO STRIKE BACK
WITH VERY TANGIBLE HELP TO
PEOPLE.
IF YOU WANT TO BE A PART OF
IT, SAY, YES, I WANT TO BE A
PART OF THE DISASTER RELIEF
FUND.
WRITE TO THE NUMBER ON THE
SCREEN, OR CALL US AT
1-800-759-0700, OR GOING TO
cbn.com, AND THERE ON THE
WEBSITE, ON THE DONATION
PAGE, THERE IS A PLACE WHERE
YOU CAN DESIGNATE YOUR GIFT
TO DISASTER RELIEF.
HELP THOSE IN NEED, FOR SOME
OF THESE PEOPLE, IT IS GOING
TO BE AT LEAST 30 DAYS,
ACCORDING TO SOME REPORTS,
BEFORE THEY GET POWER BACK.
THAT IS WELL PAST
THANKSGIVING.
WE NEED TO STEP UP OUR HELP
TO HELP THOSE IN NEED.
WHILE THE NORTHEAST
STRUGGLES TO RECOVER FROM
STORMS, ANOTHER GROUP OF
AMERICANS IS WORKING TO HELP
THOSE WHO SERVE IN OUR
MILITARY.
LEE WEBB HAS THAT STORY.
Lee: VETERANS' DAY IS
THIS SUNDAY.
THE HOLIDAY TAKES ON GREATER
SIGNIFICANCE EVERY YEAR
BECAUSE WE LOSE MORE THAN
800 WORLD WAR II VETS EACH
DAY.
AND OUR YOUNGER GENERATION
REMAINS ON THE BATTLEFIELD
IN AFGHANISTAN.
ONE GROUP WANTS TO START A
NEW TRADITION THIS VETERANS'
DAY.
PAUL STRAND HAS THEIR
STORY.
Reporter: TERRY
BELIEVES AMERICA'S MILITARY
DOES AND HAS DONE SO MUCH
FOR THE COUNTRY, EVERY
AMERICA NEEDS TO ACKNOWLEDGE
THEM THIS COMING SUNDAY.
AT NOONTIME, NO MATTER
WHERE YOU ARE, TO BE IN
SILENCE, JUST FOR A MOMENT,
AND TO SHOW GRATITUDE AND
THANKSGIVING.
Reporter: SHE SAYS
THOSE WHO DEFEND AND FIGHT
FOR AMERICA RICHLY DESERVE
THIS TIME OF SILENCE AND
PRAYER.
MOST OF OUR MILITARY
THINKS THAT WE'VE FORGOTTEN
THEM.
INSTEAD OF FORGETTING THEM,
NOT ONLY ARE WE THINKING
ABOUT THEM, BUT WE'RE GOING
TO BE PRAYING FOR THEM.
Reporter: HER FRONT
LINE FAITH IS WORKING
YEAR-ROUND FOR SERVICE
MEMBERS WHO IT HAS FOUND
STARVING FOR SPIRITUAL SUS
SUSTINANCE.
IT IS OVER SEVEN HOURS OF
RELIGIOUS CONTENT, AND THE
CHAPLAINS SAY THANK YOU FOR
BRINGING GOD TO OUR
SOLDIERS, AND OR SOLDIERS TO
GOD.
Reporter: WITH IT COSTK
COSTING ABOUT $24 A PEACE,
FRONTLINE IS FINDING HIS
NEEDS MUCH MORE SUPPORT IF
IT HOPES TO FILL THE NEEDS
OF THE HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS
OF TROOPS WANTING THEM.
Lee: MEANWHILE,
MILLIONS OF CHRISTIANS
AROUND THE WORLD WILL UNITE
IN PRAYER FOR THE
INTERNATIONAL DAY OF PRAYER
FOR THE PERSECUTED CHURCH.
IT IS A TIME FOR STANDING
FOR THOSE WHO SUFFER FOR
FOLLOWING CHRIST.
ATTACKS AGAINST CHRISTIANS
IN NATIONS LIKE EURO,
PAKISTAN, AND EGYPT ARE
INCREASING, AS GARY LANE
REPORTS, THOSE ARE NOT THE
WORST PLACES TO BE A
CHRISTIAN.
Reporter: CHRISTIANS
ARE UNDER INTENSE SITUATIONS
IN COUNTRIES.
BUT NORTH KOREA IS THE WORST
PERSECUTOR OF CHRISTIANS.
AFTER THE DEATH OF KIM
JONG-IL, HIS SONG AND
SUCCESSOR IS CONTINUING
EFFORTS TO RID THE NATION OF
CHRISTIANITY.
CHRISTIANS ARE ARRESTED,
IMPRISONED, AND EVEN
EXECUTED, SIMPLY FOR
BELIEVING IN A FAITH OTHER
THAN THE STATE RELIGION,
KNOWN AS SELF-RELIANCE.
WE PROTECTED THIS CHRISTIAN
BY HIDING HIS FACE AND
CALLING HIM BY A DIFFERENT
NAME.
MR. BAY WAS IN PRISON FOR
HELPING A FRIEND.
THERE WAS WERE
INTERROGATIONS AND TORTURE,
BUT THE HARDEST THING WAS
SITTING STILL ON THE FLOOR
WITHOUT MOVING MY ARMS,
LEGS, MORE THAN A YEAR.
Reporter: HE SAYS GOD,
NOT MAN, DELIVERED HIM FROM
DEATH.
HE TOLD HIS STORY TO THE
C.I.A. OF SEOUL U.S.A.
IT IS DETAILED IN THE NEW
BOOK, "THESE ARE THE
GENERATIONS."
THE SAME KINDS OF THINGS
FROM NORTH KOREAN DEFECTORS
FOR 10 YEARS, BUT IT WAS
VERY HARD TO FIND SOMEONE
WILLING TO SPOKE ABOUT THESE
THINGS ON THE RECORD.
BUT FOR MR. BAY, HE SPOKE
OPENLY, BECAUSE HIS MOTHER
AND FATHER, WHO ARE IN A
CONCENTRATION CAMP, PREPARED
THEIR WHOLE LIVES THAT
LIKELY THAT'S WHERE THEY
WOULD END UP.
Reporter: AND HOW
SHOULD NORTH AMERICANS PRAY
FOR NORTH KOREA?
MR. BAY TALKS ABOUT THE
KIND OF PERSECUTION WE FACE
IN THE WEST, WHICH IS THE
PERSECUTION OF PROSPERITY.
EVERY DAY PROSPERITY EN
ENABLES US NOT TO DENY
OURSELVES, BUT TO DENY THE
CROSS BECAUSE OUR RELIGION
BRINGS US COMFORT.
HE SAYS, PRAY THAT WE WILL
EACH BE FOUND FAITHFUL TO
OVERCOME THE PERSECUTION
UNDER WHICH WE EXIST IN
ORDER TO REPRESENT AND
WITNESS TO THE GOODNESS OF
THE LORD FAITHFULLY.
Reporter: GARY LANE,
CBN NEWS.
Lee: WOW!
YOU CAN FIND OUT MORE ABOUT
THE INTERNATIONAL DAY OF
PRAYER FOR THE PERSECUTED
CHURCH BY GOING TO OUR
WEBSITE AT CBNNEWS.COM.
WE SPOKE TO ERIC FOLEY TO
HEAR THE NORTHERN KOREANS
PRAY THAT GOD WOULD NOT
NECESSARILY MOVE THEM FROM
THE SITUATION THEY'RE IN,
BUT THAT GOD WOULD CAUSE
THEM TO BE FAITHFUL WHERE
THEY ARE.
IT IS A VERY POWERFUL
PRAYER.
Gordon: IT IS A VERY
POWERFUL PRAYER.
IT IS LINE WITHIN APOSTLE 4,
WHERE THE SANHIDRIN
PROHIBITED THEM FROM
PREACHING THE GOSPEL.
THEY ASKED FOR BOLDNESS TO
PREACH THE GOSPEL.
THAT SIGNS AND WONDERS WOULD
FOLLOW, AND GOD WOULD
STRETCH FORTH HIS HAND AND
PERFORM MIRACLES SO THAT THE
GOSPEL WOULD GO FORTH.
THIS SIEWFLTD, PRA SUNDAY,
PRAY FOR THE PERCENTS
PERSECUTED CHURCH.
THERE ARE SO MANY COUNTRIES
WHERE IT IS RESTRICTED.
THEY'RE NOT EVEN ALLOW TO
MEET TOGETHER AND PRAY.
IN SOME COUNTRIES, IT IS
ILLEGAL TO POSSESS A BIBLE.
WE NEED TO LIFT THEM UP IN
PRAYER.
AT THE SAME TIME, RECOGNIZE
THEY'RE PRAYING FOR US.
YEARS AGO, I WAS WITH A
GROUP OF PERSECUTED
CHRISTIANS IN A RESTRICTED
COUNTRY.
AND I WANTED TO PRAY FOR
THEM.
THEY STOPPED ME.
THEY SAID, DON'T PRAY FOR
US.
WE WANT TO PRAY FOR YOU.
WE WANT TO PRAY FOR THE
CHRISTIANS IN AMERICA, THAT
THE CARES AND THE CONCERNS
OF THIS WORLD WOULD NOT
CHOKE THE WORD AND MAKE IT
UNFRUITFUL.
RECOGNIZE THEY'RE PRYING FOR
US JUST AS WE'RE PRAYING FOR
THEM.
Kristi: THAT WAS
BEAUTIFUL.
YOU CAN'T HELP BUT WATCH
THOSE STORIES AND REMIND
OURSELVES THE IMPORTANCE AND
GRATITUDE OF RELIGIOUS
FREEDOM WE HAVE HERE IN
AMERICA.
Consuelo: AN AMERICA.
Gordon: AND UNDERSTAND
WE NEED TO PREACH THE GOSPEL
WITH BOLDNESS.
COMING UP, THE CASTLE IS
PICTURESQUE, BUT THE PEOPLE
LIVING IN THE VALLEY BLOW
ARE IN CONSTANT DANGER.
FIND OUT WHY AND WHAT IS
BEING DONE TO PROTECT THEM.
FIND OUT WHY AFTER THIS.
Gordon: THE CASCADE
MOUNTAINS ARE RIPE WITH
BREATHTAKING BEAUTY, AND
THEY ALSO COVER A CALDERON
OF HOT MAGNA THAT COULD WIPE
OUT EVERYTHING AND EVERYONE
BELOW ITMENT FOR 100 YEARS,
SCIENTISTS HAVE MONITORED
THE VOLCANOS IN THE UNITED
STATES, AND AS MARK MARTIN
REPORTS, THEY'RE USING THE
LATEST TECHNOLOGY TO KEEP
PEOPLELIZINPEOPLE LIVING IN
THE DANGER ZONES.
Reporter: THE CASCADE
MOUNTAIN RANGE LINES THE
UPPER HALF OF THE U.S. WEST
COAST.
LIKE MT. REINER AND
WASHINGTON AND MT. HOOD,
REPRESENT SOME OF AMERICA'S
GREATEST BEAUTY, ON THE
SURFACE, THAT IS.
UNDERNEATH LIES THE
DESTRUCTIVE HOT MAGMA.
THEY HAVE ERUPTED BEFORE,
AND THEY WILL ERUPT AGAIN.
AND WHEN THEY ERUPT, THEY
WILL PRESENT A VERY REAL
HAZARD TO THE PEOPLE WHO
LIVE NEARBY.
Reporter: THIS IS ALSO
HOME TO MT. ST. MOUNT ST.
HELENS, A VOLCANO THAT
EXPLODED VIOLENTLY IN
MINUTES.
IT TOOK THE LIVES OF 57
PEOPLE, CAUSING HUNDREDS OF
MILLIONS OF DOLLARS IN
DAMAGE, AND DESTROYED EVERY
LIVING THING WITHIN 230
SQUARE MILES.
STILL A DANGER TODAY, MT.
SAINT HELENS IS CONSIDERED
THE MOST ACTIVE.
Reporter: THE MASSIVE
EXPLOSION PUT VOLCANO
MONITORING ON THE
FAST-TRACK.
AT THE TIME, THERE WAS ONLY
ONE VOLCANO OBSERVATORY IN
THE ENTIRE U.S.
TODAY THERE ARE FIVE.
Reporter: THEY CAN BE
FOUND IN YELLOWSTONE
NATIONAL PARK, CALIFORNIA,
ALASKA, HAWAII, AND HERE IN
THE CASCADES.
BECAUSE ST. HELLENS
CONTINUED TO ERUPT ON AND
OFF UNTIL 1986, IT BECAME A
LABORATORY FOR SCIENTISTS
AND ENGINEERS TO DEVELOP THE
COMPUTER SOFTWARE, THE ALGOR
GOR RHYTHM TO PROCESS THE
INFORMATION.
Reporter: HE GAVE CBN A
LOOK AT THE TECHNOLOGY
MONITORING MT. SAINT HELENS,
AND THE OTHER 168 ACTIVE
VOLCANOS.
WHAT THESE INSTRUMENTS
ALLOW US TO DO IS LOOK AT
DATA IN REALTIME, AND GET
THE DATA TO OUR COLLEAGUES
SO WE CAN BUILD A MORE
COMPREHENSIVE VIEW OF WHAT
THE VOLCANO IS DOING DURING
REST.
Reporter: SCIENTISTS
WATCH THREE SIGNS DURING
ERUPTIONS, HOW MUCH THE
VOLCANO IS SHAKING, IF IT IS
SWELLING OR CHANGING SHAPE
BECAUSE OF THE MAGMA PUSHING
ON ITS SIDES, AND THE AMOUNT
OF VOLCANIC GASSES IT IS
SENDING OUT.
IT IS IMPORTANT BECAUSE
ULTIMATELY VOLCANO GASSES
FORM THE ERUPTION.
Reporter: TODAY'S
EQUIPMENT IS PORTABLE.
ALLOWING IT TO GO WHERE
PEOPLE CANNOT.
TAKE, FOR INSTANCE, THE
SPIDER.
IT IS REALLY NICE BECAUSE
WE SET IT DOWN WITH THE
HELICOPTER, AND WE HAVE A
REALLY HIGH SIGNAL WITHOUT
ALL OF THE NOISE FROM TOWNS
AND SUCH.
Reporter: THAT NOISE
GETS CLOSER, HOWEVER, AS THE
DECEPTIVELY PICTURESQUE
SCENERY LURES NEW RESIDENTS,
LEADING TO THE GROWTH OF
TOWNS AND POPULATION
CENTRES.
IN THE CASCADES, THE ONE
WE WORRY ABOUT THE MOST IS
MT. RAINIER BECAUSE OF THE
PEOPLE LIVING IN THE
VALLEYS.
Reporter: LOOK AT ALL
OF THE HOMES AT THE BASE OF
MT. RAINIER.
IF YOU THINK THEY ARE SAFE,
THINK AGAIN.
AN ERUPTION CAN SEND DEADLY
MUD FLOWS, FILLED WITH ROCK
AND SAND, AT A GREAT
DISTANCE, DESTROYING
EVERYTHING IN
THEIR
PAST.
HE BELIEVES LAHAR BROUGHT
THIS BOLDER, AFTER IT LAST
ERUPTED 200 YEARS AGO.
JUST ACROSS THE STREET, A
POPULATION CENTER.
HE INTERPRETS THIS AS A
WARNING, THAT WHAT HAPPENED
IN THE PAST CAN HAPPEN
AGAIN.
I DIDN'T SEEN THE
ERUPTION OF MT. SAINT HELENS
IN THE 1980s, BUT I WAS AT
THE
ERUPTION OF MT. PINATU.
AND IT WAS SO MUCH BIGGER
AND FASTER THAN ANYTHING I
HAD EVER SEEN.
Reporter: I'M HERE IN
THE TOWN OF GOVERNMENT CAMP,
WHICH IS ONLY ABOUT FIVE
MILES FROM THE SUMMIT OF
MT. HOOD.
WHEN SCIENTISTS DETERMINE
THE RISK OF A PARTICULAR
AREA, THEY MOST DEFINITELY
CONSIDER DEVELOPMENTS LIKE
THIS, WHICH ARE SO CLOSE TO
THE MOUNTAINS.
SOME OF THE HIGHEST
VOLCANOS WE HAVE IN THE
UNITED
STATES, THE MAJORITY
OF
THE HIGHEST THREAT
VOLCANOS, BECAUSE WE HAVE SO
MANY PEOPLE AND
INFRASTRUCTURE NEARBY.
Reporter: AND THAT,
ACCORDING TO YORK, PUTS THE
PRESSURE ON FOR GREATER
ACCURACY AND PREDICTIONS.
AND SCIENTISTS ALSO URGE
RESIDENTS TO CONSIDER
POTENTIAL HAZARDS, EVEN
HIDDEN ONES, BEFORE CHOOSING
WHERE THEY LIVE.
MARK MARTIN, CBN NEWS, THE
PACIFIC NORTHWEST.
Gordon: I CERTAINLY
WOULD ENCOURAGE YOU DON'T
SET UP HOUSE NEXT TO AN
ACTIVE VOLCANO.
I WAS RIGHT THERE AT
MT. PINATUBA AND I SAW THE
DESTRUCTION.
EVEN THOSE HOUSES WERE MILES
AWAY, THOSE ASHES CAME DOWN
AND LITERALLY WIPED THEM
OUT.
WHEN YOU CAN SEE PARTIAL
HOMES -- IT IS LIKE IT WAS
ENCASED IN SOME KIND OF
CONCRETE.
IT DESTROYED EVERYTHING IN
ITS WAKE.
AND FOR YEARS AFTER, EVEN TO
THIS DAY, THERE ARE AREAS
AROUND THAT ARE A WASTELAND,
NOTHING GROWS IN IT.
IT IS REALLY A HORRIBLE
THING.
SO IT IS ONE THING TO HAVE
WARNING, BUT IT'S STILL
BETTER TO NOT EVEN BE NEAR
THEM BECAUSE YOU JUST DON'T
KNOW WHEN THEY'RE GOING TO
GO OFF.
KRISTI?
Kristi: ABSOLUTELY.
UP NEXT, THE STAR OF "SWAMP
LOGGERS," YOU'RE ABOUT TO
SEE A SIDE OF BOBBY GOODWIN
THAT YOU'VE NEVER SEEN
BEFORE.
SO STAY WITH US.
Gordon: BOBBY GOODSON
BECAME A CELEBRITY DOING
WHAT HE DOES EVERY DAY,
SWAMP LOGGING.
HE IS USED TO OVERCOMING ALL
KINDS OF OBSTACLES JUST TO
GET THE JOB DONE.
BUT FOR YEARS, BOBBY WAS
FIGHTING A LOSING BATTLE
WITH HIMSELF.
*
*
AN OLD MAN TOLD ME YEARS
AGO, SON, FIND A NICHE IN
LIFE AND YOU'LL MAKE A
LIVING.
Reporter: BOBBY GOODSON
FOUND HIS NICHE AS A SWAMP
LOGGER.
IN FACT, HE OWNS A
SUCCESSFUL LOGGING COMPANY
IN JACKSONVILLE, NORTH
CAROLINA, AND HE WAS
FEATURED ON DISCOVERY
CHANNEL'S HIT SHOW, "SWAMP
LOGGERS."
I STILL DON'T THINK OF
MYSELF LIKE A STAR.
I FEEL LIKE I'M A PERSON
WITH A JOB AND WE JUST DID
OUR JOB.
THE TYPE OF WORK WE DO EVERY
DAY IS A CHALLENGE.
EVERY DAY IS DIFFERENT.
WE'VE ALWAYS GOT OBSTACLES
TO OVERCOME.
I GUESS WHAT GETS MEET OUT
OF BED IN THE MORNING IS TO
COME OUT AND FACE THE
CHALLENGES.
DO TO DO SOMETHING NOBODY
CAN DO OR DON'T WANT TO DO.
Reporter: BUT BOBBY
CAME FROM FOUR GENERATIONS
OF LOGGERS.
AS A YOUNG BOY, HE LEARNED
TO PARTY WITH THE OLDER KIDS
HE KNEW.
HE EVEN WENT TO SCHOOL DRUNK
IN THE FIFTH GRADE.
LOOKING BACK OVER MY
LIFE, I COULDN'T REMEMBER A
DAY THAT I WENT WITHOUT
GETTING HIGH OR DRINKING OR
SOME TYPE OF DRUG.
Reporter: BOBBY DATED
PLENTY OF GIRLS.
WHEN HE WAS 14, HE MET
LAURIE, BUT THEIR
RELATIONSHIP WAS VOLATILE
FROM THE VERY BEGINNING.
WHEN I GOT MAD, I DIDN'T
HOLD BACK AND NEITHER DID
SHE.
I COULD SHOOT BACK WITH
THE LEFT OF THEM.
IF IT WAS A LITTLE PUSH, I
PUSHED BACK.
IF IT WAS SCREAMING AND
YELLING AND CURSING, I WAS
RIGHT UP IN THIS FACE, TOO.
I KNEW HOW TO PUSH THE RIGHT
BUTTONS.
WHATEVER I THOUGHT WOULD
HURT HER THE WORST, I WOULD
TELL HER.
THE WORST THING BOBBY
EVER SAID TO ME, I STILL CAN
REMEMBER THE TIME.
HE LOOKED AT ME AND SAID, I
DON'T LOVE YOU ANYMORE.
IT PHYSICALLY MADE ME SICK.
EVERY DAY THAT I CANNOT GET
OUT OF BED.
Reporter: WHEN BOBBY
AND LAURIE WERE JUST 16
YEARS OLD, THEY HAD A BABY
THEY NAMED JUSTIN.
THEY MARRIED FIVE YEARS
LATER.
BETS WERE PLACED ON HOW LONG
THE MARRIAGE WOULD LAST.
I DIDN'T KNOW IT UNTIL
AFTER THE WEDDING, BUT MY
BROTHER HAD ACTUALLY TAKEN
BETS THAT WITHIN A YEAR I
WOULD KILL HER.
Reporter: BOBBY'S
BROTHER DIDN'T REALIZE HOW
CLOSE HE WOULD COME TO
FORTELLING THE FUTURE.
GET OVER HERE.
Reporter: ONE NIGHT
BOBBY CAME HOME DRUNK.
WHEN LAURIE FOUND HIM PASSED
OUT, SHE TRIED TO WAKE HIM.
BOBBY FLEW INTO A RAGE.
HE TOOK ME BY THE THROAT,
AND I CAN REMEMBER MY HEAD
SLAMMING UP AGAINST THE
WALL.
THE PHONE RANG, AND I
REMEMBER HIM LETTING ME GO.
I FELL ON THE BACK OF THE
STEPS AND IT BROKE IT.
HE ANSWERED THE PHONE, LIKE
THERE WAS NOTHING GOING ON.
HE LOOKED DOWN AT ME, AND HE
SAID IT'S YOUR DADMENT.
Reporter: LAURIE TALKED
HER WAY THROUGH THE
CONVERSATION, AND BOBBY FELL
ASLEEP.
THE NEXT MORNING, HE DIDN'T
REMEMBER WHAT HE HAD DONE TO
LAURIE OR TO THEIR HOME.
THE DOORS KNOCKED OFF
HINGES, HOLES IN THE WALLS,
THE WHOLE HOUSE WAS
DISARRAY, AND I COULDN'T
REMEMBER WHAT HAPPENED.
I MADE MY MIND UP THEM, I
CANNOT LIVE LIKE THIS.
I COULD HAVE KILLED LAURIE,
AND I DIDN'T EVEN KNOW WHERE
JUSTIN WAS AT.
SOMETHING THAT TO CHANGE MY
LIFE OR IT WAS GOING TO END
VERY BADLY.
Reporter: THE FOLLOWING
SUNDAY, BOBBY AND LAURIE
WENT TO CHURCH.
BOBBY PRAYED AND GAVE HIS
HEART TO JESUS THAT DAY.
IT FELT SO GOOD THAT DAY
WHEN I LEFT.
I DID THE RIGHT THING AND I
KNEW GOD WAS GOING TO HELP
ME.
IMMEDIATELY THE ALCOHOL WAS
GONE.
Reporter: AFTER SEEING
THE DRAMATIC CHANGE IN
BOBBY, LAURIE PRAYED TO
SURRENDER HER LIFE TO CHRIST
THE NEXT WEEK IN CHURCH.
ALL I KNEW IS WHEN I LEFT
THAT NIGHT, I KNEW MY LIFE
WAS DIFFERENT.
I TRULY MEANT BUSINESS THAT
TIME.
NO ONE HAD TO TELL ME YOU
HAVE TO STOP DRINKING AND
DOING DRUGS.
I KNEW I WAS GOING TO GIVE
THOSE THINGS UP.
Reporter: BOBBY AND
LAURIE WERE BAPTIZED.
AND AS THEY PUT GOD FIRST IN
THEIR MARRIAGE, THEY LEARNED
HOW TO LOVE ONE ANOTHER.
I KNEW WE FINALLY DID
SOMETHING RIGHT IN OUR LIFE,
AND I DIDN'T WANT TO LOSE
THAT.
EVERY OPPORTUNITY I HAD TO
COMPLIMENT HER ON HER FOOD
OR HOW SHE WAS DRESSED -- I
MEAN STUFF I DIDN'T DO ONCE
WE GOT MARRY, THAT I STARTED
DOING.
Reporter: BOBBY AND
LAURIE HAVE TWO CHILDREN,
JUSTIN AND BRITTANY, AND
FIVE GRANDCHILDREN.
BOBBY AND HIS SON, JUSTIN,
STILL RUN THEIR COMPANY,
"GOODSON LOGGING AND
ALL-TERRAIN," BUT BOBBY AND
LAURIE SAY FINDING CHRIST
WAS THE BEST THING THAT EVER
HAPPENED TO THEM.
THE MOST IMPORTANT THING
GOD HAS DONE TO ME IS BY
SAVING ME.
BY DOING THAT, HE HAS SAVED
MY MARRIAGE.
WE HAVE A LEGACY THAT IS
GOING TO LIVE ON.
OUR CHILDREN LOVE THE LORD.
OUR GRANDKIDS GO TO CHURCH.
IT IS SOMETHING MONEY CAN'T
BUY, ONLY GOD CAN GIVE YOU.
JESUS CHRIST IS MY
SALVATION.
HE IS MY SAVIOR.
I OWE EVERYTHING THAT I HAVE
TODAY, MY FAMILY, WHICH IS
THE MOST IMPORTANT THING
ASIDE FROM HIM, AND MY
HUSBAND, AND ALL OF THE
MATERIAL BLESSINGS.
I JUST CANNOT WAIT TO GET TO
HEAVEN.
I JUST CANNOT WAIT TO SEE
THE PERSON THAT DID THAT FOR
ME.
Gordon: AND HE WANTS TO
DO IT FOR YOU, TOO.
HE WANTS TO GIVE YOU ALL
THAT.
HE WANTS TO BE YOUR ALL IN
ALL.
HE WANTS TO SAVE YOU.
HE WANTS TO FORGIVE YOU.
HE WANTS TO BLESS YOU.
HE WANTS TO GIVE YOU A HOPE
AND A FUTURE.
HE WANTS TO SURROUND YOU AND
PLACE YOU IN A FAMILY.
NOT JUST ONE GENERATION, BUT
GENERATIONS.
SO THAT YOU CAN HAVE THE
ASSURANCE AND JUST THE PEACE
THAT COMES FROM ALL OF
THAT.
AND THEN, MOST IMPORTANTLY,
HE WANTS YOU TO BE WITH HIM
FOR ALL ETERNITY.
NOW, ALL OF THIS IS A FREE
GIFT.
IT'S A FREE GIFT.
AND GOD SAYS TO YOU TODAY, I
AM ABLE TO COMPLETELY
FORGIVE YOU AND COMPLETELY
CLEANSE YOU, SO THAT THERE
IS -- I DON'T EVEN HAVE A
MEMORY OF WHAT YOU'VE DONE
WRONG.
THAT'S WHAT HE WANTS TO DO.
NOW, YOU LOOK AT BOBBY AND
LAURIE, AND HERE THEY ARE,
AND THEY'RE GOING WAY DOWN A
WRONG TRACK.
BUT BOBBY SAYS, I'VE GONE
TOO FAR.
IF I CONTINUE, I'M JUST
GOING TO DESTROY MYSELF.
AND HE MADE A DECISION.
AND THAT DECISION WAS GO TO
CHURCH AND ASK JESUS INTO
HIS HEART.
TO TAKE FREE GIFT.
NOW, START IMAGINING LIFE
WHERE YOU DON'T HAVE ANY
CRAVINGS.
YOU LIVE ACCORDING TO THE
SPIRIT.
YOU LIVE A LIFE OF LOVE.
JUST IMAGINE THAT.
THAT CAN BE YOURS.
AND JESUS WANTS TO GIVE IT
T TO YOU FREE.
HE IS WAITING FOR YOU WITH
OPEN ARMS, JUST TO SAY, WILL
YOU COME IN?
WILL YOU MAKE ME NEW AGAIN?
WILL YOU FORGIVE ME?
AND IF YOU'LL DO THAT RIGHT
NOW, HE'LL COME.
SO IF THIS IS FOR YOU, IF
THIS IS WHAT YOU WANT, DON'T
TURN AWAY, DON'T CHANGE THE
CHANNEL.
LET'S PRAY A PRAYER AND LET
JESUS DO FOR YOU WHAT HE DID
FOR BOBBY.
HE IS ABLE TO TURN IT SO
THAT YOUR HEART DOESN'T EVEN
CRAVE IT ANYMORE.
HE IS ABLE TO DO THAT FOR
YOU.
PRAY WITH ME.
JESUS -- THAT'S RIGHT, JUST
SAY IT OUT LOUD.
JESUS, I COME TO YOU, AND I
ASK THAT YOU COME INTO MY
HEART.
I ASK THAT YOU FORGIVE ME OF
THE THINGS THAT I'VE DONE
WRONG, THAT YOU CLEANSE ME
AND MAKE ME NEW AGAIN.
AND, JESUS, IF YOU'LL DO
THIS, I WANT TO FOLLOW YOU
ALL OF THE DAYS OF MY LIFE.
I WANT YOU IN MY LIFE.
SO HEAR MY PRAYER.
MAKE ME NEW AGAIN.
FILL ME WITH YOUR LOVE, FILL
ME WITH YOUR PEACE, AND DO
IT NOW, FOR I ASK IT IN
JESUS' NAME.
AMEN.
IF YOU PRAYED WITH ME, THE
BIBLE SAYS -- IT'S VERY
SIMPLE NOW -- IF YOU BELIEVE
IN YOUR HEART AND THEN
CONFESS WITH YOUR MOUTH, YOU
SHALL BE SAVED.
WHAT I WANT YOU TO DO IS DO
THAT, MAKE A TOLL-FREE
CALL.
1-800-759-0700.
JUST SAY, I WANT TO CONFESS
WITH MY MOUTH THAT I WANT
JESUS IN MY LIFE.
CONFESS WITH YOUR MOUTH --
BELIEVE IN YOUR HEART AND
CONFESS WITH YOUR MOUTH.
DO IT RIGHT NOW.
WHEN YOU CALL, WE'VE GOT
SOMETHING FOR YOU.
IT'S A FREE PACT.
THERE IS A C.D. TEACHING.
WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO BE A
CHRISTIAN?
WHAT ARE THE FOUNDATIONS OF
THE FAITH?
HOW DO YOU LIVE THE
CHRISTIAN LIFE?
ALL OF THAT IS FREE.
ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS CALL
US, 1-800-759-0700.
KRISTI, OVER TO YOU.

Kristi: THE RED BIRD,
IT'S NOT A MIGRATING BIRD.
IT IS CONSISTENT AND
CONSTANT.
AND IT IS ALSO THE TITLE OF
A NEW C.D. BY AN ARTIST WHO
IS BEST-KNOWN NO FOR HIS
SONG, "LOVE IS NOT A
FIGHT."
Reporter: WARREN
BARFIELD STARTED PLAYING THE

* A FEW THINGS.
*
* SPACE IN OUR LIVES FOR A
LITTLE ONE *
* SO WHEN WE GOT THE NEWS
* IT WAS LIKE GOD SAYING I
KNEW BETTER THAN TO WAIT ON
YOU *
* IF YOU'RE WAITING FOR THE
RIGHT TIME *
* THE RIGHT TIME WILL FLY
RIGHT BY *
* ALWAYS PLANNING, NEVER
MOVING *
* ALWAYS PRAYING, NEVER
DOING *
* IT AIN'T LIVING IF YOU'RE
JUST SPENDING YOUR LIFE *
WAITING FOR THE RIGHT
TIME *
* AND I'VE LEARNED THE
UNKNOWN *
* AIN'T AS SCARY AS YOU
THINK *
* AND THE BEST THINGS DON'T
ALWAYS HANG AROUND FOR THOSE
WHO WAIT *
* SO IF YOU'RE WAITING FOR
YOUR RIGHT TIME *
* THE RIGHT TIME, IT WILL
FLY RIGHT BY YOU *
* ALWAYS PLANNING, NEVER

*
ALWAYS PRAYING, BUT YOU'RE

TIME *
* FOR RIGHT NOW IS THE RIGHT
TIME *
* WHOA, RIGHT NOW COULD BE
YOUR RIGHT TIME *
* WHOA...
[APPLAUSE]
Kristi: OH, WARREN,
THAT WAS WONDERFUL.
THANK YOU.
Kristi: THANK YOU SO
MUCH.
IT IS NICE MEETING YOU, BY
THE WAY.
I WAS BACK THERE LISTENING
TO THE LYRICS, THINKING
ABOUT THE RIGHT TIME.
AS CHRISTIANS, WE'RE ALWAYS
WAITING FOR GOD TO MOVE, FOR
THAT RIGHT TIME, FOR HIM TO
GIVE US THE GREEN LIGHT.
SOMETHING MY MOM ALWAYS
SAID, KRISTI, A LOT OF TIMES
WE SIT AND WAIT, GOD, SHOULD
WE?
MY MOM SAID IT IS NOT ABOUT
WAITING FOR THE GREEN LIGHT,
BUT GO UNTIL GOD SAYS STOP.
AND MY MOM SAYS, WE'RE
ALWAYS PLANNING BUT WE NEVER
ACTUALLY MOVE.
AND WE'RE ALWAYS PRAYING,
BUT WE'RE NEVER ACTUALLY
DOING.
AND I THINK THERE IS
SOMETHING TO BE STEPPING OUT
IN FAITH.
MY MOM GAVE ME THAT ADVICE
AS A KID AND IT HAS ALWAYS
STUCK WITH ME THROUGH LIFE.
Kristi: I LOVE THAT.
THAT HAS BEEN A PERTINENT
ASPECT OF YOUR LIFE.
I READ YOU WERE IN COLLEGE,
AND YOU WERE PLANNING MUSIC
MORE THAN YOUR CLASSES --
I'M NOT TELLING ON YOU,
WARREN.
IT'S COMMON KNOWLEDGE.
MY PARENTS KNEW.
Kristi: HOW DID FAITH
PLAY A PART IN THAT?
MY DAD IS A PASTOR, AND
MY DAD WOULD LEAVE A TOWN
AND MOVE OUR FAMILY TO A
WHOLE OTHER PLACE TO LIVE
BECAUSE HE BELIEVED GOD
CALLED HIM.
AND WHEN I CAME TO MY
PARENTS AND I SAID, I
BELIEVE THAT GOD IS CALLING
ME TO DO THIS.
THEY DIDN'T GO, MAYBE YOU
SHOULD GET SOME SAFETY
FIRST.
THEY WERE LIKE, IF YOU FEEL
GOD IS CALLING YOU, YOU YOU
SHOULD GO.
AND MEETING MY WIFE, AND
THIS WORKED OUT.
YES, WE TOOK A STEP, NOT
KNOWING HOW IT WOULD HAPPEN,
AND GOD PROVIDED FOR US.
WE HAVE TWO CHILDREN NOW, A
BOY NAMED MONTGOMERY AND A
GIRL NAMED ADA BETH.
AND YOU'RE LIKE, ARE WE
READY?
YOU HAVE TO JUST GO AND
BELIEVE THAT GOD IS CAPABLE
AND ABLE.
Kristi: I LOVE IT.
I'M ALMOST CURIOUS WHEN
PEOPLE WRITE ALBUMS AND PUT
THEM TOGETHER, HOW DO THEY
NAME THEM?
WHERE DID RED BIRD COME
FROM?
I WRITE ABOUT MY FAMILY,
AND AS I'M LEARNING, AS A
HUSBAND AND A DAD.
I PUT MY KIDS TO BED EVERY
NIGHT WHEN I'M HOME, AND WE
SAY OUR PRAYERS AND SING
SONGS.
WE ALWAYS SING THREE SONGS.
I WANTED TO WRITE A SONG FOR
THEM.
SO I SAT DOWN WITH A GUITAR,
AFTER PUTTING THEM TO BED
ONE NIGHT, AND STARTED
WRITING THIS LULLABY, AND
WANTED TO SAY, I'M ALWAYS
GOING TO BE HERE FOR YOU.
AND THE RED BIRD WAS SORT OF
THE IMAGE I KI CAME UP WITH
THE RED BIRD DOESN'T
MIGRATE.
WHEN OTHER BIRDS ARE LEAVING
FOR COLD WEATHER, THE RED
BIRD STAYS.
WHEN THINGS GET TOUGH, I'M
GOING TO BE HERE FOR YOU.
I'M NOT LEAVING TO FIND
COMFORT.
AS I LOOKED INTO IT MORE, I
FOUND OUT THAT THE RED BIRD
IS A MONOGMOUS BIRD.
AND I THOUGHT IT IS A GREAT
ANALOGY.
I WANT TO BE THERE FOR MY
WIFE, AND I WANT TO BE THE
RED BIRD FOR MY KIDS, AND
THEY CAN COUNT ON ME
ALWAYS.
Kristi: I LOVE THAT,
WARREN.
WARREN'S NEW C.D. IS CALLED
"RED BIRD" AND IT'S
AVAILABLE ON iTUNES.
TO GET A COPY, ALL YOU HAVE
TO DO IS LOG ON TO
CBN.COM.
THE THING I'M EXCITED ABOUT
IS YOU'RE GOING TO PLAY US
TO BREAK.
SING US A SONG AND TELL US
MORE ABOUT THE RED BIRD,
WARREN.
I WILL.
THANK YOU.
* YOU DON'T HAVE TO WORRY
* IN YOUR TIME OF TROUBLE
* I'LL BE THERE
Lee: STILL AHEAD, SHE
WAS 20 YEARS OLD.x
I HAD TRACK MARKS
LITERALLY FROM MY FEET TO MY
NECK.
Lee: IN JAIL AND
PREGNANT.
I DON'T WANT TO HAVE MY
BABY HERE.
Lee: HOW THIS YOUNG
MOTHER BEAT THE ODDS.
I'VE BEEN SET FREE.

Gordon: WELL, THE
UNITED STATES ICON, UNCLE
SAM, HAS LONG BEEN
ASSOCIATED WITH RECRUITING
FOR THE MILITARY.
BUT THE UNCLE SAM YOU'RE
ABOUT TO MEET IS INTO A
DIFFERENT KIND OF
RECRUITMENT.
Reporter: TERRY HORN,
KNOWN AS UNCLE SAM, AND HIS
WIFE CYNTHIA, HAVE BEEN
TEACHING KIDS ABOUT THE
BIBLE FOR OVER 40 YEARS.
THEY TAKE THEIR MOBILE
CHURCH, CALLED THE
CHURCHCAM, TO
NEIGHBORHOODS.
I DRESS IN THIS CRAZY
COSTUME, BUT I LOVE YOU AND
LOVE YOUR KIDS.
Reporter: THEY USE VAN
TRIL VAN TRILLTRILOQUISEM
AND TOYS.
EVERYTHING THAT WE TRY TO
DO WITH THE KIDS FROM THE
GOSPEL AND TEACHING THEM THE
WORD BECAUSE THEY DON'T KNOW
THE WORD, WHEN THEY SEE IT
ON "SUPERBOOK," THEY
CONNECT.
I CAN'T BRAG ENOUGH ABOUT
"SUPERBOOK."
MY KIDS GREW UP ON
"SUPERBOOK," THE V.H.S.
VERSION, BUT THIS VERSION
BLOWS THAT VERSION OUT OF
THE WATER.
THE CHARACTERS ARE RIGHT ON
WITH WHAT THEY'RE SAYING IN
THE SCRIPT, IT'S BIBLE.
Reporter: AND THE KIDS
OF JACKSONVILLE, FLORIDA,
LOVE "SUPERBOOK."
WE HAVE 13-YEAR-OLDS AND
14-YEAR-OLDS, WHO ASK ME,
WHEN THEY SEE ME, UNCLE SAM,
THE NEXT TIME YOU SHOW A
MOVIE, CAN IT BE
"SUPERBOOK"?
ABSOLUTELY.
MY FAVORITE PART WAS WHEN
DANIEL PRAYED TO GOD SO THE
LIONS WOULDN'T EAT HIM.
I LEARNED TO LISTEN AND
NOT DISOBEY.
MY FAVORITE PART OF
"SUPERBOOK" IS WHEN THE KING
HAD TO FREE THE ISRAELITES.
Gordon: CHILDREN LOVE
"SUPERBOOK," AND WE WANT TO
GET THEM EVEN MORE
EPISODES.
OUR GOAL IS OVER THE NEXT
FIVE YEARS, 300 MILLION
CHILDREN AROUND THE WORLD TO
SEE THE "SUPERBOOK" SERIES.
SO WE'RE GOING TO START NEXT
YEAR BROADCASTING.
WE'RE IN THE MIDDLE OF
FINISHING UP THE FIRST 13
EPISODES, SO WE HAVE A
TELEVISION SEASON THAT WILL
GO OUT.
AND THEN WE'LL TRANSLATE IT
INTO 38 LANGUAGES SO THE
CHILDREN OF THE WORLD WILL
GET IT.
WE'RE HOPING TO LAUNCH, I
BELIEVE, IN MARCH, IN THE
PHILIPPINES.
SO WHAT WE'RE ASKING FOR IS
FOR YOU TO HELP WITH THE
PRODUCTION COSTS.
JUST SAY, YES, I WANT TO BE
A PART OF IT.
AND FOR A GIFT OF $25, WE'LL
SEND YOU THE LATEST EPISODE,
WHICH IS JUST BEING
RELEASED, THE MIRACLES OF
JESUS.
IF YOU'RE PART OF THE
"SUPERBOOK" D.V.D. CLUB, IT
IS ALREADY ON ITS WAY TO
YOU.
IF YOU'RE NOT PART OF IT,
YOU CAN JOIN THAT AS WELL,
AND THAT WAY YOU'RE
AUTOMATICALLY GOING TO GET
EACH NEW EPISODE AS IT IS
RELEASED.
YOU WON'T JUST GET ONE
D.V.D.
YOU'LL GET ONE PLUS TWO MORE
THAT YOU CAN SHARE WITH
OTHERS.
YOU CAN SHARE WITH YOUR
CHURCH AND WITH MINISTRIES
TO CHILDREN.
WE WANT TO GET THE BIBLE
STORIES OUT FOR THE CHILDREN
TO UNDERSTAND.
WHEN THE BIBLE CHARACTERS
ARE TALKING, THEY'RE TALKING
VERSES FROM THE BIBLE.
WE WANT TO MAKE IT FUN.
WE WANT TO MAKE IT
ENTERTAINING.
BUT WE ALSO WANT TO BE VERY
SERIOUS ABOUT GETTING THE
GOSPEL OUT TO THE CHILDREN
OF THE WORLD.
SO IF YOU WANT TO BE A PART
OF IT, CALL US.
1-800-759-0700.
OR YOU CAN LOG ON TO
CBN.COM.
ON THE "SUPERBOOK" PAGE, ON
THE GIVING PAGE, YOU CAN
ALSO GET CAUGHT UP.
WE HAVE EIGHT EPISODES THAT
HAVE ALREADY BEEN RELEASED.
"THE MIRACLES OF JESUS" IS
THE NINTH EPISODE.
WE'RE WELL ON OUR WAY TO THE
FIRST 13.
WE SHOULD HAVE THEM ALL BY
JANUARY.
IT WILL BE A GREAT YEAR NEXT
YEAR AS THIS GOES AROUND THE
WORLD.
Kristi: AND WHAT A
PHENOMENAL CHRISTMAS GIFT
THIS WILL BE.
Gordon: WAIT JUST A
LITTLE BIT BECAUSE IN JUST A
FEW WEEKS, WE'RE GOING TO BE
OFFERING A TWO-PACK, THE
LAST SUPPER PLUS THE FIRST
CHRISTMAS.
THAT WILL BE READY BY THE
END OF THIS MONTH.
Kristi: I LOVE IT.
AND YOU'RE GOING TO LOVE IT,
TOO.
MY SON LOVES IT, BY THE
WAY.
UP NEXT, A HARD-CORE DRUG
ADDICT MAKES AN AMAZING
COMEBACK.
IF YOU OR SOMEONE YOU KNOW
HAS A DRUG PROBLEM, CALL
THEM UP RIGHT NOW BECAUSE
THEY DO NOT WANT TO MISS
IT.
Kristi: WELL, TODAY
SAMANTHA MOSLEY IS A
CONFIDENT YOUNG PROFESSIONAL
AND MOTHER.
AND THAT'S A MIRACLE.
WHY?
BECAUSE JUST A FEW YEARS
AGO, SAMANTHA WAS A DRUG
ADDICT, SERVING TIME IN
JAIL.
I HAD TRACK MARKS
LITERALLY FROM MY FEET TO MY
NECK.
I WAS COVERED.
IT WAS A QUICK, EASY HIGH.
AND IT WAS SOMETHING THAT I
COULD DO ANYWHERE.
IT CONSUMED EVERY PART OF MY
LIFE.
Reporter: SAMANTHA
MOSLEY STARTED USING DRUGS
WHEN SHE WAS 12 YEARS OLD AS
A WAY TO FIT IN.
BY THE TIME SHE WAS 18,
SAMANTHA WAS A HARD-CORE
DRUG ADDICT.
SHE RAN AWAY FROM HOME AND
GOT INVOLVED IN AN ABUSIVE
RELATIONSHIP WITH A MAN
TWICE HER AGE.
HE INTRODUCED ME TO
HARDER DRUGS, WHERE I BECAME
ADDICTED TO CRACK COCAINE.
I BEGAN DOING ANYTHING TO
FEED MY ADDICTION.
AND I ENDED UP GETTING
ARRESTED FOR POSSESSION OF
DRUGS.
Reporter: SAMANTHA WAS
SIX MONTHS PREGNANT AND HIGH
WHEN SHE WENT TO JAIL.
WHEN I WAS THERE, IT WAS
SUMMERTIME AND WAS HOT.
AND I DIDN'T WANT TO GO
OUTSIDE FOR RECREATION.
AND THE ALTERNATIVE WAS TO
GO TO A CHAPEL SERVICE.
WHEN I STARTED TO GO AND
HEAR ABOUT GOD AND JESUS AND
HIS FORGIVENESS AND HIS
LOVE, SOMETHING TOUCHED MY
HEART AND I KNEW THAT THERE
WAS SOMETHING GREATER.
AND I JUST STARTED PRAYING.
AND MY PRAYERS WERE SO
SIMPLE, BUT IT WAS, GOD, I
NEED TO GET OUT OF HERE.
I NEED TO DO SOMETHING
BETTER WITH MY LIFE FOR MY
CHILD.
I DON'T WANT TO HAVE MY BABY
HERE.
Reporter: SAMANTHA
REACHED OUT TO HER PARENTS
FOR HELP.
THEY STARTED LOOKING FOR
PROGRAMS, BUT EVERYWHERE
THEY FOUND SAID I COULD
COME, BUT ONCE I HAD MY BABY
I WOULD HAVE TO LEAVE.
I KNEW THAT WASN'T AN
OPTION.
I KNEW I NEEDED SOMEWHERE
THAT I COULD HAVE MY CHILD x
WITH ME.
Reporter: SAMANTHA'S
MOTHER LEARNED ABOUT NEW
LIFE HOME FOR WOMEN AND
CHILDREN, A REHABILITATION
PROGRAM SPONSORED IN PART BY
CBN.
THE PROGRAM ALLOWS MOTHERS
TO BRING THEIR CHILDREN AS
THEY GO THROUGH RECOVERY.
SHE GOT ALL OF THE
INFORMATION, AND SHE SENT IT
TO ME.
AND I JUST STARTED PRAYING.
I USED TO JUST SIT AND STARE
AT A PICTURE OF THE HOUSE
AND SAID, THIS IS WHERE I'M
GOING TO BE.
ONE DAY I KNEW IN MY HEART
THAT WAS GOING TO HAPPEN.
Reporter: SAMANTHA WENT
DIRECTLY FROM JAIL TO THE
PROGRAM.
I WILL NEVER FORGET, I
PULLED UP TO THE FRONT OF
THE HOUSE.
WHEN I GOT OUT OF THE CAR,
THERE WERE TWO STAFF
STANDING OUTSIDE AND THEY
JUST EMBRACED ME.
IT WAS JUST THE MOST
INCREDIBLE FEELING BECAUSE
THEY JUST LOVED ME.
BACK THEN I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT
IT WAS, BUT I KNOW IT WAS
THE LOVE OF CHRIST THAT
EMBRACED ME.
IT CONSUMED ME.
IT WAS THE SAME FEEL WITH
THE DRUGS, BUT IT WAS LOVE,
AND IT WAS SOMETHING I NEVER
EXPERIENCED BEFORE IN MY
LIFE.
Reporter: SAMANTHA GAVE
HER LIFE TO CHRIST.
AFTER HER DAUGHTER WAS
BORN, SHE STARTED PLANNING
FOR THE FUTURE.
I HAD MY G.E.D.
I NEVER WENT TO HIGH SCHOOL,
BUT I REALLY WANTED TO HELP
WOMEN.
AND I KNEW THROUGH THE
ENCOURAGEMENT AND GRACE AND
THE STAFF HERE, THAT GOING
BACK TO SCHOOL WOULD BE THE
BEST WAY TO ACHIEVE THOSE
GOALS.
Reporter: SAMANTHA
CHOSE TO ATTEND REGENT
UNIVERSITY'S ONLINE PROGRAM
TO GET HER BACHELOR'S DEGREE
IN COUNSELLING.
REGENT UNIVERSITY JUST
OFFERED ME THE OPPORTUNITY
TO BE ABLE TO GO TO SCHOOL
ONLINE, TO GET A DEGREE IN A
SECULAR DISCIPLINE OF
PSYCHOLOGY, WITH A CHRISTIAN
BASIS, AND BE ABLE TO TAKE
CARE OF MY DAUGHTER.
EVEN THOUGH I WAS AN ONLINE
STUDENT, I FELT LIKE I KNEW
MY TMPS AN TEACHERS AND I
COULD TALK TO THEM IF I HAD
AN ISSUE OR PROBLEM OR
NEEDED CLARIFICATION ON
SOMETHING.
I LOVED LEARNING PSYCHOLOGY
WITH A CHRISTIAN
FOUNDATION.
Reporter: SAMANTHA
GRADUATED WITH HONORS FROM
REGENT UNIVERSITY IN
MAY 2012.
TODAY SHE IS AN ACTIVE
MOTHER, BUT WORKS TO COUNSEL
OTHER WOMEN IN THE RECOVERY
PROGRAM AND NEW LIFE HOME.
I DON'T HAVE TO LIVE
UNDER THE STIGMA THAT I'LL
BE A DRUG ADDICT FOR THE
REST OF MY LIFE.
I'VE BEEN SET FREE.
I THINK WALKING IN THAT
TRUTH AND THE NEWNESS OF
LIFE IS WHAT CHANGES US, AND
KNOWING WE DON'T HAVE TO BE
THOSE PEOPLE FROM THE PAST.
THAT WE DO HAVE AN
OPPORTUNITY AND A SECOND
CHANCE AT LIFE THAT ONLY
COMES THROUGH CHRIST.
Kristi: I LOVE THAT.
YOU KNOW, GOD SAYS HE HAS
GIVEN US A HOPE AND A
FUTURE.
AND HE USES US AND DIFFERENT
PEOPLE TO PROVIDE THAT.
AND WHAT A WONDERFUL STORY
OF HOW YOU, REGENT
UNIVERSITY, AND PEOPLE
REALLY REACHED OUT TO HER.
WE HAVE MORE INFORMATION ON
NEW LIFE HOME FOR WOMEN AND
CHILDREN ON OUR WEBSITE.
ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS LOG ON
TO CBN.COM.
IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO KNOW
MORE ABOUT REGENT
UNIVERSITY, DIAL THE NUMBER
ON YOUR SCREEN.
1-800-373-5504, OR YOU CAN
LOG ON TO REGENT.E.D.U..
Gordon: WHAT A
WONDERFUL STORY.
Kristi: IT IS LOVELY.
SPEAKING OF LOVELY, WE'VE
GOT A LOT OF QUESTIONS OUT
THERE.
SO WE'RE GOING TO JUMP RIGHT
IN.
ANITA SAYS, "MY FAMILY AND
FRIENDS ARE DEVASTATING
ABOUT THE RESULTS OF OUR
ELECTION.
I KNOW MORE PEOPLE WERE
PRAYING FOR MITT ROMNEY TO
BE ELECTED.
WHAT HAPPENED TO THE 2
CHRONICLES.
IF THE RESULT OF PRAYER
ISN'T GOD'S WILL, THEN WHY
BOTHER PRAYING?"
Consuelo:
Gordon: THE LORD'S
PRAYER IS THAT WE SHOULD
PRAY THAT GOD'S WILL WILL BE
DONE ON EARTH AS IT IS IN
HEAVEN.
THE REASON WE'RE ASKED TO
PRAY IS BECAUSE GOD'S WILL
IS NOT BEING DONE.
WHEN YOU LOOK AT IT IN THAT
LENS, YOU SHOULD BE
ENCOURAGED TO PRAY EVEN
MORE, AND ESPECIALLY FOR OUR
LEADERSHIP AND OUR
GOVERNMENT, REGARDLESS OF
WHO WON.
GOD IS NOT A REPUBLICAN AND
HE IS NOT A DEMOCRAT.
HE IS ABOVE ALL OF THAT.
IF WE WANT HIS BLESSINGS, WE
NEED TO PRAY IN HIS ACCORD
DANCE.
1 TIM 2: "THEREFORE I EXALT
FIRST OF ALL SUP
SUPPLECATIONS, AND PRAYERS
AND INTERCESSIONS BE GIVING
OF THANKS BUT MADE FROM ALL
MEN.
THAT WE MAY LEAD QUIET AND
PEACE OF A LIFE IN ALL
GODLINESS, FOR THIS IS THE
GOOD AND THE ACCEPTABLE IN
GOD OUR SAVIOR, WHO DESIRES
ALL MEN TO BE SAVED AND TO
COME TO THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE
TRUTH."
THAT SHOULD ENCOURAGE OUR
PRAYER LIFE.
I WOULD ENCOURAGE YOU AND
ANYONE DISAPPOINTED IN THE
OUTCOME OF THE ELECTION,
PRAY FOR PRESIDENT OBAMA.
GIVE THANKS FOR HIM.
ASK GOD TO GIVE HIM WISDOM.
ASK GOD'S MERCY TO BE OVER
HIM.
IF WE DO THAT -- AND THERE
IS PLENTY OF PRECEDENT FOR
IT.
WHEN YOU GO BACK TO SAMUEL,
HE SAID, I WON'T SIN AND NOT
PRAY FOR YOU.
HE DIDN'T PICK PARTICULAR
PEOPLE IN ISRAEL TO PRAY FOR
AND NOT TO PRAY FOR.
HE PRAYED FOR ALL OF THEM
AND THAT GOD WOULD HAVE
MERCY ON ALL OF THEM.
WHY?
BECAUSE HE WANTED THEM
SAVED.
IF YOU UNDERSTAND IT IS
GOD'S WILL FOR ALL TO BE
SAVED, THAT WILL INFORM YOUR
PRAYER LIFE.
SO DON'T BE DISAPPOINTED.
UNDERSTAND THAT GOD'S PLAN
AND PURPOSE IS STILL BEING
DONE.
AND WE'RE HIS AMBASSADORS,
AND WE'RE TO PRAY THAT HIS
WILL WILL BE
DONE ON EARTHS
IT IS IN HEAVY.
Kristi: FANTASTIC
ANSWER.
Gordon: PRAY FOR
OBAMA.
WE WERE DOING IT DURING THE
WHOLE TIME OF PRAYER UP TO
AND DURING THE ELECTION.
I PRAY FOR PRESIDENT OBAMA.
WE NEED TO PRAY FOUR HIM.
WE NEED TO PRAY FOR OUR
LEADERSHIP.
WE'RE FACING VERY DIFFICULT
TIMES, FROM AN ECONOMIC
STANDPOINT, FROM A TERRORISM
STANDPOINT, WHAT IS GOING ON
IN SYRIA, IRAN, AND ISRAEL.
WE NEED TO BE PRAYING.
Kristi: YOU'RE RIGHT.
AND WE NEED TO CAUTION
OURSELVES BECAUSE SO OFTEN
WE PUT OUR HOPE IN LEADERS
AND THE GOVERNMENT, WHEN WE
NEED TO REMEMBER THAT OUR
HOPE LIES IN THE LORD AND
THE LORD ALONE.
Gordon: MEN WILL ALWAYS
LET YOU DOWN.
THEY'LL MAKE MISTAKES.
LEADERS WILL LET YOU DOWN.
BUT WHEN YOU YOUR HOPE IN
HIM, YOU'RE IN A GOOD
PLACE.
Kristi: ABSOLUTELY.
IF I HAD A TAMBOURINE, I'D
BE SHAKING IT.
Gordon: CAN I GET A
WITNESS.
WE LEAVE YOU WITH THESE
WORDS FROM 1 PETER 4: "ABOVE
ALL THINGS, HAVE FERVENT
LOVE FOR ONE ANOTHER, FOR
LOVE WILL COVER A MULTITUDE
OF SINS."
FOR KRISTI, FOR LEE, FOR ME
AND ALL OF US, GOD BLESS
YOU.
BE IN PRAYER FOR OUR NATION,
BE IN PRAYER FOR OUR
PRESIDENT, AND LET'S SEE
WHAT GOD WILL DO.
GOD BLESS YOU.
