TOP AL-QAEDA LEADER.
DRONE STRIKES WILL GROW IN

WE ARE UNITED IN THESE
STRUGGLES.
WE ARE UNITED IN THE KNOWLEDGE
OF A REDEEMING FAITH.
FOR THE MULTITUDE OF SINS AND
LOVE NEVER FAILS.
WORLD RENOWNED BENJAMIN
CARSON CLAIMED JESUS IS HIS ROLE
MODEL.
DR. CARSON CRITICIZED HIGHER
TAXES ON THE PRESIDENT AND
ADVOCATED CHANGES THAT PROMOTE
PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY NOT MORE
GOVERNMENT CONTROL.
THE TEA PARTY WAS THE MOST
POWERFUL FORCE IN POLITICS.
IS IT DEAD?
SOME POLITICIANS SAY YES.
THE TEA PARTY ITSELF PLANS TO
HAVE THE FINAL WORD.
REPORTER: PREDICTIONS BEGAN
SOON AFTER ELECTION 2012, THEY
SAID MAYBE THE END OF THE TEA
PARTY.
MITT ROMNEY'S LOSS COMBINED WITH
A FEW TEA PARTY STUMBLES LED TO
A PERCEPTION THAT THE SO-CALLED
MOVEMENT WAS A BUNCH OF
ULTRACONSERVATIVES THAT COST
SEATS.
WITHIN THE ESTABLISHMENT, THEY
ARE SEEN AS A NUISANCE.
NOW GOP GURU KARL ROVE COULD BE
LOOKING TO PUT A NAIL IN THE
COFFIN, TOO.
HIS NEW POLITICAL ACTION
COMMITTEE, CONSERVATIVE VICTORY
PROJECT WILL BE BACKING
PRIMARIES IN 2014.
TEA PARTY READS ELECTABLE AS
CODE FOR SQUISHY MODERATE
REPUBLICANS.
THAT HAS THEM SEEING RED.
HERE IS A PROJECT FUNDED BY
SEPARATISTS.
REPORTER: TEA PARTY SAYS MUCH
LIKE MARK TWAIN, REPORTS HAVE

STARS.
IT BECAME CLEAR TO BUILD A
FARM TEAM.
BRING PEOPLE INTO OUR WEEKLY
MEETINGS.
HERE IN SAN ANTONIO, THE
ALAMO REPRESENTS THE ULTIMATE
SACRIFICE IN FREEDOM.

THEMSELVES AS FREEDOM WARRIORS.
HERE IN TEXAS, IT IS ANYTHING
BUT DEAD.
TEA PARTY KEPT A SERIOUS
PRESENCE IN THE STATE CAPITOL
CONVINCING THEM TO REIGN IN ON
SPENDING.
TEA PARTY MEMBERS MEET EACH
WEEK.
A LOT OF PEOPLE WOULD LIKE TO
SEE US GIVE UP.
THAT IS NOT GOING TO HAPPEN.
FOR PEOPLE THAT THINK THE TEA
PARTY IS DEAD, WHAT IS YOUR
MESSAGE?
NO.
THE TEA PARTY IS NOT DEAD.
THEY ARE RESTING.
MUCH LIKE THEIR GOP COUNTER
PARTS, IMAGE IS A PROBLEM.
SINCE THE MEDIA HAS TURNED THE
TEA PARTY INTO A FOUR-LETTER
WORD.
CONSERVE TIFF BLOGGERS SAY
REBRAND, RETOOL, RECRUIT AND
REENGAGE.
THIS IS GENERATIONAL.
IT STARTED WITH THE FOUNDING OF
THE COUNTRY.
IT WILL ALWAYS HAPPEN.
OUR NAME WILL CHANGE, FACES WILL
CHANGE, WE WILL NOT.
IN BEAUMONT, TEXAS.
COMING UP NEXT, MORE AND MORE
MUSLIMS COMING TO CHRIST THROUGH
DREAMS AND VISIONS.
SEEING VISIONS OF JESUS, IT
IS HAPPENING TODAY AND NOT JUST
AMONG CHRISTIANS.
ACROSS THE MUSLIM WORLD, MEN
AND WOMEN ARE COMING TO CHRIST
BECAUSE JESUS APPEARED TO THEM,
CHRIS MITCHELL HAS TONIGHT'S
FOCUS REPORT
REPORTER: TV PROGRAM FOR
MUSLIMS CALLED "REFLECTIONS."
I HAD ONE LADY SAY I HAVE HAD
A NIGHTMARE.
TURNED ON THE TELEVISION AND
THERE YOU WERE.
SHE SAID THE WORDS COMING OUT OF
YOUR MOUTH, I FELL ASLEEP.
I ENDED UP HAVING A VISION OF
THE LORD.
I SAW THE LORD, JESUS, HE WAS IN
A BRIGHT WHITE ROBE AND POINTED
TO A MAN I KNEW IN THE DREAM,
ABRAHAM AND SACRIFICING ICE
ISAAC.
MUSLIM MEN AND WOMEN ARE
TURNING TO FAITH IN JESUS
CHRIST.
FOR MANY THEIR CONVERSIONS ARE
NOT THE RESULT OF MISSIONARIES
OR PREACHERS.
THESE MUSLIMS ARE COMING TO
CHRIST BECAUSE THEY HAD DREAMS
AND VISIONS.
ALI ALSO MET JESUS IN A DREAM
WHILE ON THE MECCA.
I WAS GOING THERE IN ORDER TO
FULFILL THE REQUIREMENTS IN
ISLAM.
HIS EXPERIENCES IS DRAMA
TIEZED IN THIS DVD CALLED "MORE
THAN IN DREAMS."
JESUS TOUCHED ME ABOVE MY HEART,
HE SAID YOU HAVE BEEN SAVED,
FOLLOW ME.
YOU BELONG TO ME.
I DECIDED, OKAY.
I AM NOT GOING TO FINISH THE
PILGRAMAGE.
WHATEVER IT TAKES, I AM GOING TO
FOLLOW THAT VOICE.
THE DVD TALKS OF OTHERS THAT
HAVE COME TO FAITH IN CHRIST IN
A DREAM OR VISION.
PEOPLE THAT HAVE NEVER
THOUGHT ABOUT JESUS.
THEY ARE CONTENT MUSLIMS.
TOM DOYLE SERVES IN E 3
MINISTRIES.
DOYLE WROTE THE RECENTLY
RELEASED BOOK "DREAMS AND
VISIONS, IS JESUS AWAKENING THE
MUSLIM WORLD?"
PEOPLE ARE SEEKING, MAYBE THEY
DON'T HAVE A BIBLE.
MAYBE THERE IS NO MISSIONARY IN
THE VILLAGE.
THIS WOMAN COMES FROM AN
ASIAN COUNTRY.
HER IDENTITY IS HIDDEN FOR
SECURITY REASONS.
A PERSON WILL SAY THEY SAW
HIM IN A DREAM.
I DECIDED TO ASK HIM.
I DID.
THEN THE NEXT DAY, I GUESS I SAW
IN MY DREAM, I SAW JESUS.
THE DREAM OR VISION IS
USUALLY THE START, NOT THE END
OF A MUSLIM CONVERSION.
NOBODY GOES TO SLEEP, CHRIS,
A MUSLIM AND WAKES UP A
CHRISTIAN.
IT KNOCKS DOWN THE FALSE
BARRIER, COUPLE ARE THAT WE
WORSHIP THREE GODS AND THE BIBLE
IS CORRUPTED.
COMPARED TO THE POLITICAL
STORMS SWEEPING THE MIDDLE EAST,
THIS COULD BE SEEN AS A
SPIRITUAL EARTHQUAKE.
MAN THE HOLY SPIRIT IS MOVING
EVEN MORE POWERFULLY.
HEARTS ARE OPENED, PEOPLE
DESPERATE, GOVERNMENTS CHANGING.
EVERYBODY'S FOUNDATION HAS
MASSIVE CRACKS.
JESUS IS THE ANSWER TO FILL THE
NEED.
MANY MISSIONARIES SAY THESE
DREAMS COMBINED WITH TELEVISION
ARE REACHING MUSLIMS.
MORE MUSLIMS ARE COMING TO JESUS
CHRIST THAN IN ANY OTHER TIME IN
THE 1400-YEAR HISTORY IN ISLAM.
BELIEVERS IN THE WEST CAN JOIN
THE SPIRITUAL REVOLUTION.
THE HARVEST IS PLENTIFUL.
WORKERS ARE FEW.
WE ARE COMMITTED, ALL OF US, WE
HAVE TO REACH THOSE WITH THE
GOSPEL OF CHRIST.
NOT EVERYBODY IS GOING TO GO
TO THE MIDDLE EAST.
NO LEADER CAN BLOCK INTERCESSION
AROUND THE WORLD.
WE NEED TO PRAY GOD WOULD
CONTINUE TO PUSH THE GOSPEL OUT
TO THE ENDS OF THE EARTH.
