THEREGION CHRIS MITCHELL HAS
TONIGHT'S TOP STORY.
REPORTER: A HANDFUL OF
COUNTRIES OPPOSING PALESTINIAN
ABBAS'S BID SAYING HAMAS AND ALL
PALESTINIANS ARE UNITED.
WE HAVE SUPPORT FOR GOING TO
THE U.N., GENERAL ASSEMBLY AND
GETTING THE UPDATE TO STATE
STARTERS.
THE MOVE WILL DETERMINE THE
BOUNDARIES OF PALESTINIAN STATE
AND CLAIM TO JERUSALEM.
THIS IS A VERY SIGNIFICANT
STEP.
THEY WOULD INTERACT WITH THE
REST OF THE WORLD.
THE MOVE IS LARGELY SYMBOLIC.
FOREIGN MINUTER SAYS IT WILL EM
BOLDEN PALESTINIANS.
THEY ARE BREACHING EXISTING
AGREEMENTS.
THAT IS NOT GOOD.
THIS WILL BE NO INCENTIVE FOR
THEM TO RETURN TO THE
NEGOTIATIONS.
IRONICALLY IT COMES 65 YEARS
TO THE DAY AFTER ARAB
RESOLUTIONS REJECTED CALLING FOR
JEWISH TO BECOME A STATE.
THEY FOUGHT FOR ITS SURVIVAL.
THERE IS NO GOING BACK.
WE HAVE LOST BATTLE AT
BATTLE, YOU KNOW WHAT, LET'S GET
BACK TO THE START.
MIDDLE EAST EXPERT SAYS THE
END OF THE OSLO PEACE PROCESS
MIGHT NOT BE SO BAD.
POSSIBILITY IT WILL SHATTER
OSLO AND END IT IS NOT A
NEGATIVE ONE.
PIPE SAYS IT SHOWS ABBAS'S
DESPERATION.
IN THE END IT IS PROBABLY
ANOTHER CASE OF THE PALESTINIANS
TRYING TO HURT ISRAEL EVEN IF
THEY HURT THEMSELVES MORE IN THE
PROCESS.
CHRIS MITCHELL, CBN NEWS,
JERUSALEM.
AND GERMANY ANNOUNCED THAT
WILL NOT BACK THE PALESTINIAN
AFTER FRANCE SAID THEY WOULD
SUPPORT A PALESTINIAN STATE.
MASS PROTEST CONTINUE IN
EGYPT AFTER MORSI'S POWER GRAB.
THEY SAID THEY WON'T STOP.
THEY CALLED MORSI'S DECREE AN
ASSAULT ON THE PRINCIPLES.
THEIR DECISION TO STOP WORK IS
JUSTIFIED BY THE MAGNITUDE OF
THE CRISIS.
MORSI AND MUSLIM BROTHERHOOD
ACCUSE THEM OF TRYING TO BRING
DOWN HIS GOVERNMENT.
JOINING US IS SENIOR
INTERNATIONAL CORRESPONDENT,
GARY LANE.
GARY, WHAT DOES THIS MEAN?
FOR THE PEOPLE OF EGYPT, IT
MEANS MORE INSTABILITY.
CAN YOU IMAGINE IN THE UNITED
STATES IF ONE-THIRD OF OUR
GOVERNMENT ALL SHUT DOWN.
THIS IS CHAOS.
THE SIGNIFICANCE IS MORSI ARGUED
THESE ARE MUM BARIC PEOPLE,
THESE PEOPLE COMING AGAINST HIM,
LIBERALS.
THESE JUDGES APPOINTED BY OTHER
JUDGES.
THEY WEREN'T APPOINTED BY MUM
BARIC.
THESE PROTESTS LOOK SERIOUS.
THEY ARE.
AND VIOLENT.
COULD THERE BE AN UPRISING?
IF IT GOT TO THAT POINT, YOU
WOULD SEE MORSI BACKING OFF.
HOW WOULD THE MILITARY
RESPOND? KEEP IN MIND
SATURDAY, YOU ARE GOING TO HAVE
PERHAPS A MILLION PRO-MORSI AND
BROTHERHOOD PEOPLE IN TAHRIR
SQUARE.
IF IT TURNS VIOLENT WHAT WILL
THEY DO AND WHAT WILL POLICE DO?
WHAT DOES THE GOVERNMENT MAKE
OF MORSI'S REFORMS?
HE SAYS HE HAS 80-90% OF THE
EGYPTIAN PEOPLE BEHIND HIM.
WE ARE SEEING ATTACKS ON THE
MUSLIM BROTHERHOOD OFFICES.
IN CAIRO, ALEXANDRIA, MANY OUT
IN THE STREETS.
THEY DON'T SUPPORT THE MUSLIM
BROTHERHOOD.
THEY SUPPORT BEING GOOD MUSLIMS.
THEY MAY SUPPORT SHARIA LAW BUT
NOT IMPOSING IT.
HE WANTS TO SHAPE IT THE WAY
HELP WANTS IT TO BE.
DEMOCRACY DOESN'T HAPPEN THAT
WAY.
WHAT DOES THIS ALL MEAN, GARY
FOR EGYPTIAN CHRISTIANS?
THEY WILL HAVE TO BE ON THE
STREETS WITH THE OTHERS, THE
SECULARISTS AND OTHER EGYPTIANS.
THEY FEAR A NEW CONSTITUTION
THAT WILL HAVE SHARIA LAW AND
CHRISTIANS MARGINALIZED, WORSE
THAN UNDER MUM BARIC.
THANK YOU GARY.
WENDY?
SUSAN RICE PUSHES TO WIN OVER
CRITICS.
RICE IS ONE OF THE TOP
CANDIDATES TO REPLACE SECRETARY

THEY WON'T AGREE TO HIS
INSISTENCE ON HIKES FOR HIGHER
INCOME EARNERS.
PRESIDENT OBAMA: IF WE CAN
GET A FEW HOUSE REPUBLICANS TO
AGREE, I'LL SIGN THIS BILL AS
SOON AS CONGRESS SENDS IT MY
WAY.
I'LL REPEAT I HAVE A PEN.
THE NO-TAX HIKES PLEDGE,
ALMOST EVERY REPUBLICAN HAS
SIGNED.
HE WON'T BACK DOWN.
GOVERNMENT IS TOO BIG NOW.
WE DON'T WANT TO GET IT BIGGER.
ALL OF THE EFFORT BY OBAMA TO
RAISE TAXES IS TO EXPAND
GOVERNMENT.
SOME REPUBLICANS SIGNALLY
THEY WANT OUT OF THE PLEDGE,
NORQUIST SAYS THAT IS AN ODD
WAY.
IF SOMEONE SAID ARE YOU
PRO-CHOICE, 18 MONTHS?
YOU ARE TELLING SOMEONE WHO YOU

I AM A GUY THAT IS PRO-CHOICE OR
PRO-LIFE OR WON'T RAISE YOUR
TAXES.
NORQUIST POINTED OUT NO

WE FOCUSSED ON HOPE AND
RESTORATION.
THAT IS NOT ABOUT JUST TALKING
ABOUT HOW BAD THE PROBLEM IS.
IT IS ABOUT SOLUTIONS AND HOPE
AND PEOPLE ARE CRYING TEARS OF
JOY RATHER THAN TEARS OF
DEPRESSION AND FRUSTRATION.
"THE PINK ROOM" SHOWS HOW
THEY REBUILD YOUNG LIVES.
THIS GIRL DECIDED AT AGE 14 TO
ENTER A BROTHEL.
SHE WAS TRAPPED IN TORTURE WORSE
THAN IMAGINED.
WHEN SHE ARRIVED SHE SAW A NEW
WORLD.

PART OF.
CURRENTLY REEDITING THE
DOCUMENTARY FOR PBS AND ALREADY
AWAKENING THE CHURCH AS VIEWERS
TRY TO HELP CHILDREN WHO HAVE
SUFFERED UNSPEAKABLE EVIL.
PEOPLE ARE VERY HOPEFUL.
I HAVE SEEN A LOT OF THE OF
DOCUMENTARIES ON SEX
TRAFFICKING.
HEATHER SELLS, CBN NEWS.
AN IRANIAN CHRISTIAN
THREATENED WITH EXPULSION FROM
SWEDEN IS EXPRESSING GRATITUDE.
HE MOVED TO SWEDEN AND APPLIED
FOR ASYLUM.
THEY HALTED THE DEPORTATION
ORDER AND GRANTED JABARI A NEW
HEARING.
NOW THEY ASKED THAT WE SHARE
THIS VIDEO WITH YOU.
I WANT TO SAY ESPECIALLY OF
THE AMERICAN PEOPLE ACTIVE IN
THE INTERNET.
WE DON'T THINK IT COULD HAVE
BEEN DONE WITHOUT YOUR HELP.
JABARRI'S ATTORNEY IS HOPEFUL
THEY WILL GET PERMANENT
RESIDENCY SOON.
HOPEFUL TO BRING LIGHT TO ONE
OF THE NEW YORK'S DARKEST
NEIGHBORHOODS COMING RIGHT UP.
WELCOME BACK THE BRONX
COMMUNITY OF HUNTS POINT HAS
LONG BEEN PLAGUED BY POVERTY,
DRUGS AND CRIME.
HBO TOOK ITS CAMERA THERE FOR
THE HIGH PROSTITUTION RINGS.
THEY ARE SEEING AMAZING
RESULTS.
CHARLENE ISRAEL HAS TONIGHT'S
FOCUS REPORT.
REPORTER: THESE ARE THE
IMAGES OF HUNTEDS POINT, WARREN
OUT BUILDINGS, STRIP CLUBS AND
GIRLS WALKING THE STREETS.
THERE IS A GENERATIONAL
HISTORY IN HUNTS POINT KNOWN FOR
PROSTITUTION, DRUGS, GANGS.
EVEN NOW SEX TRAFFICKING IS SUCH
A HUGE ISSUE HERE
REGGIE IS ON A MISSION TO
PAINT A NEW PICTURE OF THE BRONX
NEIGHBORHOOD.
HE AND HIS WIFE PLANTED REAL
LIFE CHURCH.
I DIDN'T WANT TO COME HERE.
IT WASN'T MY VISION AT ALL TO
COME TO HUNTS POINT.
AS WE STARTED MINISTERING TO THE
PROSTITUTES AND PIMPS, THE LORD
DIRECTED OUR HEARTS FOR HIS
PEOPLE.
THAT IS WHY WE ARE HERE.
FOR THE PAST TWO YEARS THEIR
CHURCH HAS TRIED A VARIETY OF
WAYS TO MEET PEOPLE.
THIS PLACE NEEDS JESUS MORE
THAN EVER BEFORE.
GOD HAS GIVEN US FAVOR WITH ALL
KINDS OF PEOPLE.
WE WANT TO THINK OUTSIDE THE
BOSS.
THAT LED TO A DIFFERENT
APPROACH TO SERVING THE
COMMUNITY'S PROECH.
THERE WAS A MINISTRY IN TEXAS
CALLED VISION FOR CHRIST THAT
JUST HAPPENED TO FIND US ON THE
INTERNET.
IDOCTOR CALLED ME, WE MET OVER
THE PHONE FOR JUST AN INCREDIBLE
MARRIAGE, JUST THE COMING
TOGETHER OF HOW CAN WE COME
TOGETHER TO BLESS THE COMMUNITY.
THEY TEAMED UP WITH THE EYE
CARE MINISTRY FOR FREE MEDICAL
HELP.
FREE EYE EXAMS, FREE GLASSES.
VISION FOR CHRIST BROUGHT A
TEAM OF THE 20 MEDICAL
PROFESSIONALS.
THEY NETWORKED TO PROVIDE A FULL
SERVICE OUTREACH COMPLETE WITH
OTHER MEDICAL EQUIPMENT.
IT IS IMPORTANT.
THAT IS WHAT JESUS CALLED US TO
DO.
HE WANTS US TO GO AND HELP
OTHERS AND REALLY, IT IS ALL
ABOUT HIM.
WE CAN HELP PEOPLE SEE BETTER
AND HELP PEOPLE FEEL BETTER.
THEY ENDED UP HELPING MORE
THAN 400.
WE HAVE HAD PEOPLE WHERE
THEIR BLOOD PRESSURE IS REALLY
HIGH.
THEY SHOULD BE IN THE EMERGENCY
ROOM.
WOW.
WE HAVE TO REFER THEM TO THE
EMERGENCY ROOM RIGHT THEN.
THEY COULD HAVE A STROKE ANY
MOMENT.
THOSE ATTENDING WERE
OVERWHELMED.
IT TOUCHED MY HEART.
MY DAUGHTER'S GLASSES BROKE.
WHEN I WENT BACK TO THE EYE
DOCTOR.
THEY SAY YOU HAVE TO WAIT FOR
TWO YEARS.
OTHERWISE YOU PAY.
I AM A SINGLE MOTHER.
IT TOUCHED EVERYBODY HERE IN THE
COMMUNITY.
FREE MEDICAL SERVICES DURING
THE MEDICAL OUTREACH IN HUNTS
POINT.
IT WAS AN OPPORTUNITY TO HEAR
THE GOSPEL OF JESUS CHRIST.
*
*
DOING THE VISION OUTREACH IN
CONJUNCTION WITH THE EVAN
EVANGELISM, IT GIVES US THE
ABILITY TO SAY SOMEBODY GAVE US,
WE DIDN'T DESERVE, JESUS CHRIST
DIED ON THE CROSS BECAUSE OF THE
LOVE OF JESUS.
SINGLE MOM ELIZABETH PEREZ IS
THANKFUL.
ALSO RESPONDED TO THE GOSPEL
MESSAGE.
SINCE I WALKED IN HERE, JESUS
IS MAKING ME FEEL HAPPY.
OTHERS WERE TOUCHED.
LAST NIGHT WE HAD TWO OF THE
WORST DRUG DEALERS IN HUNTS
POINT COME TO THE ALTAR AND GET
PRAYED FOR.
WHERE DOES THAT HAPPEN?
EXCEPT WHEN THE GOES OUT OF THE
BUILDING AND COMES OUT ON THE
STREET.
THEY APPLAUDED STUTSMAN AND
THEIR TEAM.
THIS IS A PERFECT EXAMPLE OF
THE EFFORT WHEREIN LOCAL CHURCH,
NOT A BIG CHURCH, NOT A GREAT
CATHEDRAL, NOT A CHURCH WITH
THOUSANDS -- HUNDREDS,
CONGREGATION, BUT JUST A LITTLE
AVERAGE CHURCH WHO SAID WE ARE
GOING TO DO SOMETHING DIFFERENT.
WE ARE GOING TO HELP THESE
PEOPLE REALIZE THAT GOD IS VERY
MUCH ON THE SCENE.
MEANWHILE REAL LIFE CHURCH
PLANTS FOLLOW UP WITH ALL THAT
RECEIVE MEDICAL AND SPIRITUAL
HELP.
ALL PART OF ITS MOTTO OF SERVING
REAL PEOPLE WITH REAL ISSUES AND
POINTING THEM TO A REAL GOD.
TRYING TO MAKE JESUS REAL.
PEOPLE ARE SEEING WHO JESUS IS
WHEN THEY PUT ON A NEW PAIR OF
EYE GLASSES, THEY ARE SEEING
JESUS.
CHARLENE ISRAEL, CBN NEWS,
BRONX, NEW YORK.
JUST WHEN YOU THOUGHT LAS
