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.

HELP THOSE IN NEED IN NEW
YORK AND NEW JERSEY, ALL YOU
HAVE TO DO IS CALL US.
CALL 1-800-759-0700.

HELP THOSE IN NEED, FOR SOME
OF THESE PEOPLE, IT IS GOING

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.
ANGLICAN CHRISTIANS HAVE A
NEW SPIRITUAL LEADER TODAY.

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
GUITAR WHEN HE WAS 15.
IN COLLEGE, HE WAS MORE
INTERESTED IN BOOKING HIS
OWN CONCERTS THAN GOING TO
CLASS.
IN 1995, WITH HIS PARENTS'
BLESSING, WARREN LEFT SCHOOL
FOR A YEAR.
AFTER 200,000 MILES AND 600
GIGS, HE SETTLED IN NASH
NASHVILLE, TENNESSEE.
SINCE THEN, HE RELEASED
THREE ALBUMS.
FIVE OF HIS SONGS HIT THE
TOP CHRISTIAN CHARTS.
HIS SONG "LOVE IS NOT A
FIGHT," GOT NEARLY A MILLION
HITS.
HE SHOWCASES HIS VOICE AND
TALENT, BOTH OF WHICH HAVE
MADE HIM ONE OF THE MOST
POPULAR CHRISTIAN ARTISTS IN
MUSIC TODAY.
Kristi: WE'RE NOT GOING
TO MAKE YOU WAIT ANY
LONGER.
HERE IS WARREN BARFIELD
SINGING A SONG INSPIRED BY
HIS REAL LIFE LOVE, HIS WIFE
MEGAN.
THIS SONG IS CALLED "THE
RIGHT TIME."
[APPLAUSE]

KITCHEN, MY MAMA DOING
DISHES *
* I WAS THINKING OUT LOUD
* SHE WAS JUST LISTENING
ABOUT A NEW GIRL AND MY
WORLD *
* I LOVED HER

[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.

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.

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.
