I HEAR FREEZE.

ARRESTED.

I SEE GUNS POINTED AT ME.

FOR A CRIME HE DIDN'T COMMIT.

SHE JUST ALLOWED ME TO GO TO

JAIL FOR THE DRUGS SHE PLANTED.

AN INNOCENT MAN FIGHTS FOR

HIS LIFE.

I WASN'T GOING TO PLEAD

GUILTY TO SOMETHING I DIDN'T

DO.

ON TODAY'S "700 CLUB."

WELCOME, LADIES AND

GENTLEMEN, TO THIS EDITION OF

"700 CLUB." A FEW DAYS AGO HE

WAS THE PRESIDENT OF THE

UKRAINE.

NOW AN ARREST WARRANT HAS BEEN

ISSUED FOR VIKTOR YANUKOVYCH.

GEORGE THOMAS BRINGS US THE

STORY FROM KIEV.

*

MANY OF YOU TODAY FEEL THE SAME

AS I DO, THERE ARE A LOT OF

TEARS IN OUR HEARTS.

NEW AT ONE OF KIEV'S LARGEST

EVANGELICAL CHURCHES, PASTOR

TRIES TO COMFORT A GRIEVING

CONGREGATION.

OUR HEART IS ACHING.

UKRAINIANS MOURNING MORE THAN

100 PEOPLE KILLED IN CLASHES

BETWEEN RIOTS AND PROTESTERS AND

SADDENS OVER A COUNTRY FACING

DRAMATIC CHANGES.

ANTIGOVERNMENT DEMONSTRATORS IN

POWER.

ON SATURDAY, UKRAINE'S

PARLIAMENT STUNNED THE NATION BY

VOTING OVERWHELMING TO IMPEACH

VIKTOR YANUKOVYCH.

THEY PICKED AN INTERIM

PRESIDENT.

CHRISTIANS WERE PRAYING ON

INDEPENDENT SQUARE AND

CHURCHES,

GOT DID A MIRACLE.

UKRAINE IS A NEW COUNTRY.

TO GIVE YOU A SENSE OF HOW

DRAMATIC THE CHANGES HAVE BEEN,

A FEW DAYS AGO THIS ENTIRE

STREET WAS COMPLETELY FILLED BY

THE POLICE.

TODAY YOU HAVE DOZENS OF MEN.

YOU CAN TAKE A LOOK ALL THE WAY

DOWN, ORDINARY FOLKS WHO HAVE

TAKEN OUR POSITION IN FRONT OF

THE PARLIAMENT WHAT HAPPENS

NEXT IS VERY UNCERTAIN.

AS LAWMAKERS SCRAMBLE TO PUT

TOGETHER A COALITION GOVERNMENT,

SKEPTICISM ABOUNDS, INCLUDES

PRIME MINISTER FREE AFTER

SPENDING MONTHS IN PRISON.

WE NEED A WHOLE NEW

GOVERNMENT.

THEY NEED TO GO.

UKRAINE'S NEIGHBOR, RUSSIA

CLOSELY WATCHES THE CHANGES.

PRESIDENT VLADIMIR PUTIN TALKED

ABOUT BRINGING UKRAINE BACK INTO

ITS ORBIT.

ON SUNDAY, AMERICA WARNED RUSSIA

NOT TO THINK ABOUT SENDING

TROOPS INTO UKRAINE.

BACK AT THE PASTOR'S CHURCH, A

PLEA FOR RECONCILIATION AFTER

MONTHS OF TURMOIL.

WE NEED TO UNITE BECAUSE THEY

ARE DIVIDED.

WE NEED TO MAKE IMPORTANT

DECISIONS IN THE DAYS AHEAD.

PAT: SOME OF YOU SAY WHAT IS

WITH UKRAINE, WHO CARES?

I WANT TO SHOW YOU A MAP, JUST

TO GIVE YOU A SENSE OF THE

STRATEGIC LOCATION.

LOOK AT THE JIE GOOD AFTERNOONIC

COUNTRY, BORDERS ON

HUNGARY AND

ROMANIA.

IT IS A STRATEGIC PORT ON THE

BLACK

SEA.

IT IS PROBABLY ONE OF THE MOST

FERTILE AREAS IN THE WHOLE

WORLD.

WHEN STALLIN CAME IN, HE STARVED

OUT UKRAINIANS.

NEVERTHELESS, THEY WANT FREEDOM.

IT IS AMAZING, THE RUSSIANS WANT

IT, YOU SEE, PUTIN WANTS TO

RE-ESTABLISH THE FORMER SOVIET

UNION.

HE WANTS GREATER RUSSIA.

RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE

TRIUMPH OF THAT WINTER OLYMPICS,

THEY PULL THIS THING AWAY FROM

HIM.

ONE OF THE IRONIES OF HISTORY.

GEORGE THOMAS IS IN KIEV,

CAPITOL OF UKRAINE.

REPORTER: IT WAS STUNNING, IN

ESSENCE, 50 YEARS OLD, ALEXANDER

TORCHINOF.

HE HAS A LONG POLITICAL CAREER.

THE PRISONER JUST RELEASED AFTER

30 MONTHS IN PRISON.

ON INDEPENDENT SQUARE, PEOPLE

ARE TALKING ABOUT TORCHINOF, HE

HAS BEEN THERE SINCE THE

DEMONSTRATIONS BEGAN, HE WAS

THERE CALLING FOR YANUKOVYCH TO

STEP DOWN.

HE HAS BEEN THERE DURING ALL OF

THE UPHEAVAL.

IS SHE THE FRONT RUNNER OR

THIS GENTLEMAN RUNNING AND THE

NEXT FULL TIME PRESIDENT?

REPORTER: EXCELLENT QUESTION,

PAT.

THERE IS AMBIVALENCE TOWARDS

HER.

THE MAJORITY OF THE FOLKS I HAVE

SPOKEN TO SAY LISTEN, WE WANT

YOUNG PEOPLE.

WE NEED FRESH PEOPLE NOT TIED TO

THE AL GUARDS, WE ARE FED UP, WE

WANT RIGHTEOUS LEADERS.

CHRISTIANS ARE PRAYING FOR MEN

AND WOMEN THAT BRING THAT MORAL

BIBLICAL FOUNDATION TO THE

COUNTRY.

THAT DOESN'T MEAN, PAT THAT SHE

DOESN'T HAVE A HUGE FOLLOWING.

PEOPLE ON THE STREETS WANT NEW

LEADERSHIP.

PAT: TALK ABOUT A SPLIT.

PEOPLE ON THE EAST, ONCE THAT

BORDER RUSSIA, ONES ON THE WEST

TIE IN WITH THE UE.

REPORTER: IT IS MIXED, PAT.

OBVIOUSLY, THE BIG FOCUS, LAST

24-48 HOURS HAS BEEN THE CRY MIA

REGION.

VERY STRATEGIC, VERY IMPORTANT

TO GIVE OUR VIEWERS WHY THIS

COUNTRY IS SO STRATEGIC.

RUSSIA

PROTESTS IN CRY MIA IN AN

AREA THAT BORDERS THE BLACK SEA.

RUSSIANS HAVE HUGE NAVEL

PRESENCE AND DEFINITELY WANT TO

SIDE WITH RUSSIA.

THEY WANT THE SPLIT.

IT IS EVENLY DIVIDED, EASTERN

PART PREDOMINANTLY PRORUSSIAN

AND WESTERN PROEUROPEAN.

I WAS JUST HERE TWO WEEKS AGO,

BECAUSE OF THE UPROAR, THIS IS

ALSO ABOUT CORRUPTION, PAT.

LET ME TELL YOU OVER AND OVER

AGAIN PEOPLE ARE SAYING ENOUGH.

WE ARE TIRED OF PAYING BRIBES.

WE WANT TO LIVE A LIFE WHERE WE

DON'T HAVE TO DEAL WITH ALL OF

THIS CORRUPTION.

PAT: I UNDERSTAND THE COUNTRY

IS BANKRUPT.

THE IMF AND EU HAS COME, PUTIN

HAD UP 15 BILLION DOLLARS.

NEVERTHELE

NEVERTHELESS, BESTERN POWERS ARE

GOING TO BAIL THEM OUT.

DID YOU HEAR ANYTHING ABOUT IT?

REPORTER: OBVIOUSLY THAT IS A

HUGE CONCERN.

THIS IS IN ESSENCE A BANKRUPT

COUNTRY.

RUSSIA CAME TO THE TABLE

QUICKLY.

ACCUSATION AGAINST THE WEST IS

LIKE HEY, GUYS, WHAT HAVE YOU

BEEN WAITING FOR, HOW COME YOU

DIDN'T BRING MONEY TO THE TABLE

LIKE THE RUSSIANS.

PUTIN LAST NOVEMBER SAID BOY, I

GOT IT IS PRIZE, UKRAINE, GOING

TO ACCEPT 15 BILLION DOLLARS AND

SUDDENLY THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE HIT

THE STREETS OF KIEV, WAIT A

MINUTE, VLADIMIR PUTIN.

THE BRITTS HAVE COUGHED UP

MONEY.

CLEARLY, GOING FORWARD, I THINK

THERE IS A WAIT AND SEE

APPROACH.

OBVIOUSLY THE BIG QUESTION,

RUSSIA, THIS IS CLEARLY A HUGE

BRAWL FOR KREMLIN AND VLADIMIR

PUTIN.

HE WAS HOPING TO

EXTEND RUSSIA.

HE ONCE CALLED UKRAINE THE

LITTLE RUSSIA.

THIS IS A HUGE BLOW FOR VLADIMIR

PUTIN.

PAT: GEORGE THOMAS REPORTS

FROM KIEV IN UKRAINE.

IT IS AMAZING AN EVANGELICAL

CHRISTIAN PUT IN THE POSITION.

IT IS EXTRAORDINARY.

THIS IS A MAJOR, MAJOR DEFEAT

FOR PUTIN.

UNITED STATES HAS TO HANG TOUGH,

AND SAY LOOK, VLADIMIR, KEEP

YOUR HAND OFF.

THEY HAVE SENT THAT WORD, DON'T

YOU DARE SEND IN TROOPS.

ANOTHER NATIONAL REBELLION

RAGING.

REPORTER: IT HAS BEEN 13

STRAIGHT DAYS OF VIOLENT CLASHES

IN VENEZUELA.

POLICE AND PRO-GOVERNMENT

GROUPS.

CHAVISTAS AS THEY ARE CALL.

HUGO CHAVEZ DIED OF CANCER LAST

YEAR.

A DISASTROUS ECONOMY, POLITICAL

DEPRESSION UNDER NICOLAS

MADORO.

THEY ARE PROTESTING IN FLORIDA,

CALIFORNIA AND PANAMA

WHERE CBN

CHUCK HOLTON TALKED ABOUT TO

SOME OF THEM.

REPORTER: HERE IN PANAMA

CITY, PANAMA, MANY ARE JOINING

IN SOLIDARITY WITH THEIR

COUNTRYMEN BACK IN VENEZUELA.

WE DON'T WANT COMMUNISM IN

VENEZUELA.

PEOPLE ARE TRYING TO FEED

THEIR KIDS.

PEOPLE AFRAID OF GOING IN THE

STREETS AND GETTING SHOT.

THEY ARE REALLY HORRIFIED OF

WHAT IS HAPPENING.

REPORTER: IN CROCKUS, I WILL

NOT ACCEPT THAT VENEZUELANS ARE

FASCISTS, TAKE THOSE WORDS AND

PUT THEM YOU KNOW WHERE.

THERE HAVE BEEN VIOLENT ATTACKS

ON DEMONSTRATORS.

OPPOSITION POLITICIAN ACCUSED BY

THE GOVERNMENT OF INSTIGATING

THE DEMONSTRATIONS IS IN JAIL.

ANOTHER LEADER HAS EMERGED AFTER

ENGAGING IN AN ARMED STANDOFF.

SOME FEEL THE TIPPING POINT

VENEZUELA WHEN THEY -- WHAT

HAPPENED IN UKRAINE JUST MIGHT

HAPPEN IN VENEZUELA.

DALE HURD, CBN NEWS.

PAT: I WANT TO DIRECT CHUCK

HOLTON IN CROCKUS, DALE IS HERE

AT THE CBN NEWS HEADQUARTERS.

WE HAVE THE SITUATION COVERED.

HERE IS THE DEAL, CHAVEZ DID

EVERYTHING HE COULD TO CULTIVATE

THE CUBAN REVOLUTION AND HE HAS

BEEN SENDING 100,000 BARRELS OF

OIL TO CUBA.

I THINK IT MAYBE, EVERYDAY OR

WHATEVER.

IT IS AN ENORMOUS AMOUNT OF OIL.

IF THAT IS CUT OFF, IT WILL

STRANGLE THE CUBAN ECONOMY.

CUBANS WANT TO UPHOLD MADORO.

HE IS A LEFT-WING THUG.

AS I AM WARNED ON THIS PROGRAM A

COUPLE OF YEARS AGO AND

SUGGESTING WE OUGHT TO TAKE OUT

CHAVEZ, MY WORDS HAVE COME TRUE.

CHAVEZ, OF COURSE DIED OF

CANCER.

NEVERTHELESS, WE SHOULD HAVE

HURRIED HIS DEMISE ALONG.

THIS COUNTRY IS FALLING APART.

RIGHT ON THE EDGE OF THE

CARIBBEAN.

BREEDING GROUND FOR

REVOLUTIONARIES, POSSIBILITY OF

MISSILES COMING AT THE UNIT.

THEY LIKE UKRAINE BANKRUPT.

LOADED WITH OIL.

POT LOADS OF OIL IN THEIR

VARIOUS RESOURCES.

HEAVY CRUDE, BUT THEY HAVE GOT

IT.

THEY HAVE BEEN USING IT AS A

WEAPON.

DESPITE THE WEALTH, THEY

SQUANDERED EVERY PENNY.

THAT IS THE WAY COMMUNISM

WORKED.

THESE PEOPLE WANT FREEDOM!

ACROSS THE WORLD, PEOPLE ARE

SAYING WE HAVE HAD ENOUGH OF

THESE CORRUPT REGIMES.

WE WANT FREEDOM.

OUR HATS OFF TO THE

REVOLUTIONARIES IN THE CREW

CRANE AND ALSO THOSE IN

VENEZUELA.

HERE IS WENDI.

WENDY: PEOPLE ARE SPEAKING.

NO DOUBT.

PAT: YOU JUST CAME BACK FROM

NEW YORK.

YOU WERE WITH MY FRIEND SEAN

HANHA

HANTY

WENDY: I WAS PART OF THE

PANEL OF EXPERTS THAT SAW THE

FILM.

I WANT TO THANK MARK AND ROMA

FOR THE FILM QUALITY.

BEYOND THAT AND MORE

IMPORTANTLY, YOU CAN SEE THE

POWER OF GOD FROM THE CLIPS WE

HAVE BEEN ABLE TO SEE.

NOT ONLY QUALITY FILM MAKING.

CHRISTIAN FILMS HAVE LACKED THAT

IN THE PAST YEARS.

NOT TO SAY ANYTHING BAD.

FOR INSTANCE, "FIREPROOF"

STARRING KIRK CAMERON WAS NO. 4

AT THE BOX OFFICE.

THANK YOU, IT IS MAGNIFICENT.

THAT WAS A LOT OF FUN.

WHO ELSE WAS ON THE PANEL?

I SAT NEXT TO STEPHEN MANSFIELD,

RALPH REID.

MARK AND ROMA DOWNEY, SO HUMBLE.

THEY HAVE DONE SOMETHING

INCREDIBLE IN HOLLYWOOD.

THEY NEED OUR PRAYERS.

PAT: WE HAD AN ADVANCED

SHOWING OF THE "PASSION OF THE

CHRIST."

I SAW IT.

IT WAS SO BRUTAL.

I SAID YOU HAVE TO TONE DOWN

SOME OF THOSE THINGS.

YOU HAVE THE POOR MAN DEAD

BEFORE HE GETS TO THE CROSS.

IT WAS A BOX OFFICE SMASH,

GROSSED 600 MILLION DOLLARS

WHICH IS HUGE.

IT DIDN'T HAVE THE QUALITY THIS

MOVIE DOES.

THIS MOVIE IS FABULOUS.

IT HAS BEEN TEN YEARS SINCE

"PASSION OF THE CHRIST."

PAT: MARK BURNETT IS ONE

SUCCESS AFTER ANOTHER AND

"TOUCHED BY AN ANGEL"

ROW MA DOWNING.

BY ALL MEANS, GO TO SEE IT.

WENDY: FEBRUARY 28TH.

COMING UP, LONG ROAD THROUGH ONE

OF THE LEAST EVANGELIZED REGIONS

IN THE COUNTRY.

THERE ARE EVANGELICAL

CHURCHES IN MANY OF THESE

COMMUNITIES, MUCH SMALLER

NUMBERS THAN OTHER PLACES IN THE

UNITED STATES.

WENDY: WE'LL TAKE A DRIVE

ALONG THE

I-29

CORRIDOR RIGHT

AFTER

THIS.

PAT: YOU CAN DRIVE ACROSS

NORTH DAKOTA AND MONTANA AND YOU

ARE NOT GOING TO SEE MANY PEOPLE

IN THE UPPER MIDWEST, PEOPLE ARE

SPREAD FEW AND FAR BETWEEN.

THIS HAPPENS TO BE ONE OF THE

LEAST EVANGELIZED AREAS OF THE

UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.

CHRISTIAN LEADERS ARE TRYING A

NEW WAY TO SPREAD THE GOSPEL

THERE.

PAUL STRAND HAS THAT STORY.

PAUL: THE I-29 CORRIDOR RUNS

NORTH AND SOUTH FROM KANSAS

CITY, MISSOURI TO CANADIAN

BORDER AND SOUTHERN BAPTIST

LEADERS SEE IT AS A RIPE FIELD.

IT WASN'T JUST THAT SOUTHERN

BAPTISTS BUT EVANGELICALS

UNDERREPRESENTED.

THEY ARE IN MUCH SMALLER NUMBERS

THAN IN OTHER PLACES IN THE

UNITED STATES.

PAUL: NORTH AMERICAN MISSION

BOARD WILL LAUNCH THE HEARTLAND

INTERSTATE STRATEGY.

STRENGTHEN EXISTING CHURCHES AND

PLANT NEW ONES OVER THE NEXT

FOUR YEARS IS THE GOAL.

PEOPLE IN THE UPPER MIDWEST

TRYING TO MAKE SENSE OUT OF

LIFE.

STRUGGLING THROUGH WITH THE

REGULAR STRUGGLES WE ALL HAVE,

MAKING ENDS MEET, WHERE IS OUR

SIGNIFICANCE.

PAUL: THEY ARE TRYING TO

PLANT SEVEN CHURCHES ALONG THE

CORRIDOR.

THEY PLAN TO SPREAD THE GOSPEL

EAST AND WEST INTO MORE REMOTE

REGIONS.

WE ARE THINKING WE CAN COME

STRAIGHT UP I-29 INTO THE MAJOR

CITIES, ST. JOSEPH, OMAHA, SUE

CITY, AND EVEN TO WINNIPEG.

PAUL: CHURCH PLANTER

RELOCATED TO SIOUX FALLS.

WE MADE AN INTENTIONAL EFFORT

TO CANVAS TEAMS.

INTRODUCED OURSELVES, THIS IS

WHO WE ARE, WE WANT TO BLESS

YOU.

PAUL: HIS VISION FOR REACHING

THE UPPER MIDWEST COMES FROM THE

BIBLE.

OUR PASSION CAME FROM THE

BOOK OF ACTS.

WE WANTED TO BE PART OF A

BIBLICAL CHURCH.

WE WANTED TO SEE THE GOSPEL GO

OUT THAT WAS IMPEFR YOUS OR

UNAFFECTED.

NO. 1 IS PRAY THE LORD RAISES

UP LEADERS FROM THE HARVEST.

PAUL: CHURCH LEADERS HOPE A

MAJOR PUSH PLAN FOR THE FALL

WILL FOLLOW THE GREAT

COMMISSION.

IT IS AN AMAZING THING GOD

HAS BEEN DOING.

HIS GLORY KNOWN AMONG EVERYONE.

PAUL: PAUL STRAND CBN NEWS.

PAT: IN NORTH DAKOTA THEY

HAVE SO MUCH MONEY FROM THE

BOBBING AND SHALE, NORTH DAKOTA

WITHOUT QUESTION THE PRETTIEST

WOMEN.

REALLY?

PAT: THEY HAVE A SCANDANAVIAN

BACKGROUND.

ONE GOOD LOOKING PEOPLE.

I THOUGHT YOU WERE PARTIAL TO

WEST VIRGINIA?

PAT: I WAS BORN NEAR THERE.

I HAVE TO BE HONEST.

I WOULD JOG IN SIOUX FALLS.

I WOULD STOP WHILE I WAS DOING

MY CAMPAIGN THING.

WENDY: YOU WOULD GO JOGGING

TO LOOK AT THE PRETTY GIRLS?

PAT: THE PRETTY SCENERY,

BICYCLE TRAILS.

IT IS A BEAUTIFUL AREA.

PAT: IF THE SOUTHERN BAPTIST

CAN BRING MORE BLESSING GOOD FOR

THEM.

WENDY: STILL TO COME,

INNOCENT MAN STOPPED BY THE

POLICE.

THEY COME BACK AND READ ME MY

MIRANDA RIGHTS AND ARREST ME.

FOR WHAT?

I DIDN'T DO ANYTHING WRONG.

WENDY: FIND OUT WHO FRAMED

HIM NEXT.

ú@PPPñ

PAT: CAN YOU IMAGINE WHAT YOU

WOULD FEEL LIKE IF YOU WERE

FRAMED FOR A MAJOR CRIME YOU

DIDN'T COMMIT AND THEN YOU

REALIZED THE PERSON WHO DID IT

TO YOU WAS YOUR OWN MOMMA?

FRANK THOMAS HAD THAT

EXPERIENCE.

HE WAS SET UP, COPS ARRESTED HIM

AFTER DRUGS AND CASH IN HIS CAR.

FRANK HADN'T PUT THEM THERE, HIS

OWN MOTHER DID.

SOON HE WAS STARING AT 60 YEARS

BEHIND BARS.

WHEN I START WALKING IN THE

HOUSE, I HEAR FREEZE.

THESE GUYS RUNNING FROM THE

ALLEY.

FRANK THOMAS HAD NO IDEA WHY

POLICE STOPPED HIM.

WHEN THEY SEARCHED HIS CAR...

THERE WAS AN OUNCE OF CRACK

COCAINE WRAPPED UP IN PACKAGE TO

SALE AND SEVERAL THOUSANDS OF

DOLLARS IN THE GLOVE BOX.

HIS DREAM OF MAKING A NEW

START FADED AWAY.

FRANK GREW UP IN A POVERTY

STRICKEN HOME IN KANSAS CITY

MISSOURI.

IT WAS TOUGH.

AT 16 HE WENT TO WORK FOR HIS

UNCLE WHO WAS A SUCCESSFUL

BUSINESS OWNER.

HE STARTED TO BELIEVE HE HAD A

CHANCE FOR A BETTER LIFE.

IT HELPED ME TO UNDERSTAND I

HAD SOME LEVEL OF CONTROL OVER

MY CIRCUMSTANCES.

IF THAT IS WHAT IT TAKES IN

ORDER TO BE WHO HE WAS, THAT IS

WHAT I WANT TO DO.

FRANK ENJOYED WORKING AND DID

WELL IN SCHOOL.

HIS MOTHER TOOK HIS MONEY TO PAY

RENT AND UTILITIES.

IT CAUSED FRICTION BECAUSE I

FELT THE ROLES HAD REVERSED AND

DIDN'T FEEL LIKE SHE WAS

FIGHTING FOR MY BROTHER AND I.

STILL FRANK WORKED HARD AND

MADE HIS WAY INTO COLLEGE.

HE LOST HIS FOCUS.

I DIDN'T GO TO CLASS.

I STAYED UP LATE DRINKING BEER.

WE WOULD SLEEP LATE AND GO EACH

LUNCH TOGETHER AND HANG OUT AND

PLAY VIDEO GAMES.

HE WAS PUT ON PROBATION.

I HAD OUTSTANDING BALANCE OF

SEVERAL THOUSAND DOLLARS I HAD

NO IDEA WHERE I WAS GOING TO GET

THE MONEY TO PAY.

I WENT BACK TO KANSAS CITY AND

MY MOTHER PICKED ME UP AT THE

TRAIN STATION AND --

FRANK WAS RUNNING OUT OF TIME

AND PATIENCE.

I TOLD MY MOM, GIVE ME THOSE

DRUGS, I'LL SELL THEM.

I DIDN'T WANT TO DEAL DRUGS, I

WANTED TO GET OUT OF THERE MORE.

IF THAT WAS A WAY TO DO IT, THAT

IS WHAT I WAS GOING TO DO.

THREE WEEKS INTO MY DRUG DEALING

CAREER, I GET BUSTED.

AS A FIRST TIME OFFENDER HE

WAS GIVEN PROBATION.

HIS GIRLFRIEND MOVED TO

CALIFORNIA.

HE JOINED HER THERE. MY PLAN

WAS TO COMPLETE THE PROBATION

AND GET MY RECORD WIPED CLEAN

AND GET MYSELF BACK IN SCHOOL

AND MOVE ON WITH MY LIFE.

SOME TIME LATER HE WENT HOME

TO APPEAR IN COURT FOR AN

OUTSTANDING TRAFFIC VIOLATION.

HE LET HIS MOTHER USE HIS CAR.

WHEN HE RETURNED, THE POLICE

WERE WAITING.

THEY SEARCHED THE HOUSE AND HIS

CAR.

THEY COME BACK AND READ ME MY

MIRANDA RIGHTS AND ARREST ME.

I SAID FOR WHAT, I DIDN'T DO

ANYTHING WRONG.

POLICE FOUND DRUGS AND CASH

IN THE CAR AND GUN IN THE HOUSE.

THEY ACCUSED HIM OF RUNNING

DRUGS FROM CALIFORNIA TO IOWA.

MY MOTHER HAD PUT THEM THERE.

MY FATHER WAS KNOWN TO STEAL HER

DRUGS AND MONEY AND TAKE THE CAR

AND BE GONE FOR DAYS.

SHE DIDN'T SAY ANYTHING.

SHE ALLOWED ME TO GO TO JAIL FOR

DRUGS SHE MRAPLANTED THERE.

FRANK FACED 60 YEARS IN JAIL.

THE JUDGE SAID NO DEALS.

THEY THINK THEY HAVE ENOUGH

EVIDENCE TO CONVICT YOU.

I KNEW I HAD NO CHOICE BUT TO

FIGHT FOR MY LIFE.

FEELING THE STING OF HIS

MOTHER'S BETRAYAL, FRANK OUT OF

OPTIONS AND HOPE UNTIL HE FOUND

A BIBLE IN THE PRISON LIBRARY.

I GRABBED THE BIBLE.

WHERE DO YOU GO WHEN THE ONE

PERSON IN THE WORLD TURNS THEIR

BACK ON YOU, MY MOTHER.

I WAS DOWN TO NOTHING AND

NOWHERE ELSE TO GO.

HE ALSO STARTED PRAYING.

I KEPT SAYING LORD, HELP ME,

SAVE ME, YOU KNOW I AM INNOCENT.

HELP ME GET OUT OF HERE.

AN INMATE SPOKE TO HIM ABOUT

JESUS.

HAVE YOU EVER SPOKEN TO JESUS

ABOUT FORGIVENESS OF YOUR SINS.

HE LED ME IN THE SINNERS PRAYER.

LORD YOUR WORD SAYS THE TRUTH

WILL SET ME FREE.

I BELIEVED THAT THE TRUTH IS

GOING TO SET ME FREE.

THE JURY REACHED A VERDICT.

HE SAYS WE, THE JURY FOUND

THE DEFENDANT NOT GUILTY.

COUNT TWO AND THREE NOT GUILTY.

I JUST FALL TO MY KNEES AND SAY

THANK YOU, JESUS, THANK YOU,

THANK YOU, THANK YOU!

NOW A FREE MAN, FRANK

RETURNED TO CALIFORNIA WHERE HE

GOT A JOB AND STARTED ATTENDING

USC AND FORGAVE HIS MOTHER WHO

WAS THERE WHEN HE GRADUATED WITH

HONORS.

I KNEW I HAD TO LET IT GO AND

FORGIVE HER.

I KNEW IF I WAS EVER GIVEN

ANOTHER CHANCE, NOTHING SHORT OF

DEATH THAT COULD STOP ME FROM

ACHIEVING THE SUCCESS IN LIFE

GOD CALLED ME TO.

HE EVENTUALLY MARRIED ERIKA

AND THEY STARTED A FAMILY.

I FINALLY STARTED

UNDERSTANDING MY IDENTITY.

MOST FIND THEIR IDENTITY IN

THEIR EARTHLY FATHER.

IT TOOK ME A LONG TIME TO FIND

MINE IN MY HEAVENLY FATHER AND

MADE ALL THE DIFFERENCE IN THE

WORLD.

PAT: YOU READ THE STORY OF A

MAN NAMED JOSEPH.

JOSEPH WAS A RIGHTEOUS MAN, HE

WAS HARDWORKING, HONORABLE,

RESPONSIBLE.

BUT HIS BOSS' WIFE WANTED TO

HAVE SEXUAL RELATIONS.

JOSEPH SAID NO.

YOU ARE MY BOSS' WIFE.

SHE FRAMED HIM, ACCUSED HIM.

HE WOUND UP IN PRISON.

ALL THAT TIME, HE NEVER FORSOOK

THE LORD, NEVER DID ANYTHING

THAT WAS WRONG IN GOD'S EYES.

HE KNEW IF HE TRUSTED THE LORD

HE WOULD COME OUT ON TOP.

ON TOP HE DID.

OUT OF THAT EXPERIENCE, HE MET

THE PEOPLE WHO KNEW THE PHARAOH

AND WOUND UP SECOND HIGHEST

RANKING PERSON IN EGYPT.

GOD USED THE TRAGEDY TO BRING

FORTH SOMETHING GOOD.

IN THE TERMS OF FRANK THOMAS,

GOD USED WHAT SEEMED LIKE

TRAGEDY TO BRING FORTH SOMETHING

WONDERFUL.

WHAT I WANT TO SAY TO EVERYONE

IS DON'T DESPAIR, NO. 1, DON'T

TURN ON GOD, NO. 2 AND BLAME

HIM.

TRUST IN THE LORD AND DO GOOD

AND YOU WILL DWELL IN THE LAND

AND YOU WILL BE FED.

GOD WILL LOOK AFTER YOU IF YOU

TRUST HIM.

SOME OF YOU SAY NO, I DON'T

UNDERSTAND IT.

I DON'T BELIEVE OR TRUST GOD.

YOU WANT TO.

YOU WANT TO KNOW THE HEAVENLY

FATHER IS ON YOUR SIDE, NOT

AGAINST YOU.

IF YOU WANT PEACE WITH GOD.

I WANT TODAY, ALL YOU HAVE TO DO

IS SAY YES TO JESUS.

JUST SAY LOOK, LORD, I AM SORRY.

I ASK YOU TO FORGIVE ME.

DON'T TRY TO COVER UP WHAT YOU

HAVE DONE OR TOUGH IT OUT.

DON'T GET HARD NOSED AND STAND

BEFORE GOD AND SHAKE YOUR FIST.

SAY LORD, I AM SORRY, I ASK YOUR

FORGIVENESS.

I KNOW JESUS DIED ON THE CROSS

FOR MY SIN.

I RECEIVE HIM NOW AS SAVIOR.

I MAKE HIM THE LORD OF MY LIFE.

IF YOU'LL DO THAT, GOD WILL HEAR

AND GOD WILL ANSWER.

IF YOU NEED PRAYER, WANT SOMEONE

TO PRAY WITH YOU, FOLKS AT THE

TELEPHONES.

CALL IN RIGHT NOW, SAY LOOK, I

INGRES -- I ACCEPTED THE LORD

AND WANT SOMEONE TO PRAY WITH

RIGHT NOW, 1-800-759-0700.

WENDY: THANKS, PAT, FROM

CALVARY TO COLUMBUS, OHIO, THE

MOST IMPORTANT SYMBOL IN THE

WORLD AND WHY IT IS

DISAPPEARING.

FIRST IT IS A NEW WEEK AND WE

TO SEE THIS WEEK'S TOP ON

DMAND DEMAND VIDEOS GO TO

CBN.COM.

WELCOME BACK TO "700 CLUB."

WE HAVE YOUR E-MAIL QUESTIONS,

NICOLE WRITES: HAVE A FRIEND

THAT SAYS SHE IS A CHRISTIAN BUT

BELIEVES IN REINCARNATION, WHAT

CAN I SAY TO HER?

PAT: YOU CAN TELL HER THERE

IS NO BIBLICAL FOUNDATION.

IT IS THE HINDU WHEEL.

YOU HEAR ABOUT GOOD KARMA, BAD

KARMA.

WHEN YOU ARE BORN YOU HAVE THIS

KARMA ATTACHED.

YOU LIVE IN A PARTICULAR WAY AND

THE NEXT LIFE YOU PAY FOR IT.

YOU ARE A HUMAN BEING, BUT MAY

COME BACK AS A DOG OR COW OR AS

THE RAIN FALLING ON THE GROUND.

BIBLE SAYS CLEARLY, IT IS

APPOINTED UNTO MAN ONCE THEY DIE

AND COME UNDER JUDGMENT.

HINDUS BELIEVE YOU ARE ON A

WHEEL.

GENIUS OF BUDDHISM, IF YOU WILL,

BUDDHIST SAID WE ARE GOING TO

SEE NIRVANA.

I AM GOING TO GET TO THE PLACE

WHERE I HAVE NO FEELING

WHATSOEVER.

IN NIRVANA, I WILL ESCAPE THE

WHEEL OF HINDU KARMA.

IT IS AL -- ALL NON SENSE.

ALL RIGHT.

WENDY: CAN DEPRESSION BE

OVERCOME WITHOUT MEDICINE?

PAT: DEPENDS ON YOUR

DEPRESSION.

IT DOES TAKE MEDICATION.

A HEALTHY DIET, NO SWEETS, NO

SUGAR, NO WHITE FLOUR AND ALL

THAT STUFF, VEGETABLES, FRUIT

AND EXERCISE AND FRESH AIR.

CHANCES ARE YOU CAN OVERCOME

DEPRESSION.

CERTAIN TIMES YOU DO NEED

MEDICATION.

OTHER THING IS IF YOU BELIEVE IN

GOD, GOD CAN DELIVER YOU FROM

IT.

I WAS IN A GYM CLASS, WE WERE

DOING AN ABCLASS, YOU CAN'T HAVE

GOOD ABS AND BE DEPRESSED.

PAT: SOUNDS GOOD.

[LAUGHTER].

WENDY: HE WAS TALKING ABOUT

--

PAT: ALL RIGHT.

WENDY: MARGARET WRITES WHEN I

WAS YOUNGER, I WAS TOLD LUCIFER

IS IN CHARGE OF HEAVEN'S

WORSHIP?

PAT: IT IS NOT IN THE BIBLE

WHATSOEVER.

HE WAS THE HIGHEST OF THE

CREATED BEINGS.

YOU WERE IN THE PLACE OF GOD.

WALKED ON THE STONES OF FIRE AND

HIGHEST OF ALL BEINGS UNTIL SIN

WAS FOUND IN YOU.

THING ABOUT LUCIFER, BECAUSE OF

HIS BEAUTY, HE SINNED.

HE LOOKED AT HIMSELF AND SAID I

AM SMARTER THAN GOD, PRIDE IS

THE ULTIMATE SIN.

HE WASN'T IN CHARGE OF ANY

PRAISE CHORUS.

HE TOOK ONE-THIRD OF THE ANGELS,

THEY ARE DEMONIC SPIRITS AND IN

TORMENT AND WILL BE AS JESUS,

YOU REMEMBER THE ONES, THE PIGS,

DON'T CAST US INTO THE PIT

BEFORE THE TIME.

THEY KNOW THEY ARE GOING TO HELL

AND TORMENTED FOREVER.

THERE IS NO PRAISE CHORUS COMING

OUT OF THAT.

NEW

WENDY: WILL NOT TITHING CAUSE

SOMEONE TO GO TO HELL?

PAT: MIGHT BE SOME PREACHER

THAT PREACHES THAT.

THAT IS RIDICULOUS.

YOUR SALVATION DOESN'T DEPEND ON

WHETHER YOU GIVE OR NOT, THAT IS

NON SENSE.

JESUS DIED AND ROSE AGAIN, IF

YOU BELIEVE IN HIM AND BORN

AGAIN, YOU ARE GOING TO BE IN

HEAVEN.

THEN YOU LIVE FOR HIM.

IF YOU HAVE BEEN BORN AGAIN, YOU

LIVE FOR HIM.

NOT TITHING, GOOD GRIEF.

WENDY: JANICE WRITES, I KNOW

HE IS OUR HEALER AND PLANS ARE

GOOD.

I HEARD SOMEONE THANKING GOD FOR

WEAKNESS AND SICKNESS BECAUSE IT

ALLOWED HIM TO BE STRONG.

WHAT IS YOUR TAKE?

PAT: WE CAN PRAISE GOD FOR

OUR INFIRMITIES.

BIBLE SAYS WHEN I AM WEAK, I AM

STRONG.

YOU NOW HAVE TO DEPEND ON THE

LORD.

IF I AM DEPENDING ON THE ACUITY

OF MY REASON, THEN I AM NOT

DEPENDING ON GOD.

WHEN I AM WEAK, I AM STRONG.

YOU DON'T THANK GOD BECAUSE YOU

ARE SICK.

SICKNESS CAN LEAD YOU TO GOD,

YOU PRAISE GOD FOR EVERYTHING.

WENDY: THAT MAKES SENSE.

JUSTIN WRITES: I HAVE CONFESSED

MY SINS TO JESUS AND SAID THE

SINNER'S PRAYER BUT KEPT ON

SINNING.

I FEEL LIKE JESUS HAS ACCEPTED

ME.

PAT: I AM NOT SURE YOU HAVE

ACCEPTED -- WHOLE THING IS YOU

HAVE AN AFTER THOUGHT, THIS IS

WRONG, I AM IN THE PIG STY AND

ARISE AND GO TO MY FATHER'S

HOUSE.

YOU TURN AND BEGIN TO LIVE FOR

THE LORD.

I DON'T THINK YOU HAVE EVER MADE

THAT REAL COMMITMENT.

YOU SAID YES, JESUS, I BELIEVE

IN YOU, I GO FORWARD, SHAKE THE

PREACHER'S HAND.

WHAT ABOUT IN YOUR HEART, DID

YOU REALLY SAY I HAVE SINNED?

I AM WRONG?

I HAVE DONE THE WRONG THING AND

ASK TO BE FORGIVEN AND GOING TO

BE DELIVERED FROM THIS?

I REMEMBER THIS DRUNK IN NEW

YORK, HE SAID OH, PAT, THIS

DRINKING IS KILLING ME, I NEED

HELP.

I SAID WILL YOU PRAY WITH ME.

HE SAID OH YES, PATTY.

I SAID LORD, JESUS.

I SAID YOU PRAY WITH ME.

LORD, JESUS, I AM SORRY I HAVE

BEEN DRINKING.

NOW LORD, TAKE IT AWAY AND I'LL

NEVER DRINK ANOTHER DROP.

HE SAID PATTY, I DON'T WANT TO

GO THAT FAR.

WENDY: HE WASN'T QUITE READY.

PAT: SO MUCH FOR THAT.

GREAT QUESTIONS.

WENDY: WITH A CRIPPLED ARM,

DAVID OFTEN STRUGGLED TO FIND

WORK.

SOMETIMES HE WENT HUNGRY AND HIS

CHILDREN COULDN'T EAT.

THEN A HURRICANE HIT THEIR

VILLAGE AND MADE LIFE MORE

DIFFICULT.

DAVID WORKS HARD TO PROVIDE

FOR HIS FAMILY.

THAT HAS BEEN CHALLENGING

BECAUSE OF A BIRTH DEFECT THAT

LIMITS WHAT HE CAN DO.

DAVID'S WIFE MAKES IMPANATAS FOR

EXTRA MONEY.

THE FAMILY IS ONLY DOWN TO TWO

SMALL MEALS A DAY.

I LOVE MY CHILDREN.

THEY GET SO HUNGRY AND CRY UNTIL

WE GIVE THEM SOMETHING.

DAVID AND FAMILY HAD TO MOVE

IN WITH HIS WIFE'S PARENTS AFTER

A STORM DESTROYED THEIR HOME.

MY HOUSE WAS GONE.

THE WIND BLEW EVERYTHING AWAY.

THE FIRST THING OPERATION

BLESSING DID WAS BUILD DAVID'S

FAMILY A NEW HOME.

I AM SO HAPPY WITH OUR NEW

HOUSE.

THIS HOUSE IS A BLESSING FROM

GOD.

WE HELPED THEM EXPAND THEIR

BUSINESS.

THEIR INCOME HAS TRIPLED.

WE ARE SELLING MORE IMPANATAS

BECAUSE WE HAVE MORE MONEY FOR

INGREDIENTS.

SALES ARE GOOD.

NOW THEY CAN EAT THREE TIMES

A DAY.

I AM FILLED WITH HOPE, WE

HAVE A GOOD BUSINESS AND GOOD

HOUSE TO LIVE IN, THANK YOU.

PAT?

PAT: STILL TO COME, GIFTED

PREACHER AND AUTHOR, PASTOR ROD

PARSLEY IS GOING TO UNCOVER THE

CASE OF THE MISSING CROSS WHEN

WE COME BACK.

PAT: IN THE CROSS OF CHRIST

OF GLORY TOWERING AROUND THE LEX

OF TIME.

FOR CHRISTIANS, CROSS IS MORE

THAN JUST A SYMBOL.

IT IS THE CENTRAL PART OF THE

MOST IMPORTANT EVENT IN HISTORY.

AFTER CENTURIES OF APPEARING IN

CHURCHES AND ART WORK AND

JEWELRY, SOME FEAR THE CROSS IS

BEING FORGOTTEN.

CHRISTIANITY'S MOST IMPORTANT

SYMBOL, THE CROSS IS

DISAPPEARING INSIDE AND OUT.

ROD PARSLEY SAYS THE THEME THAT

TOOK PLACE AT CALVARY IS TOO

GRUESOME AND CHURCHES ARE

REPLACING CHURCHES WITH LESS

DEMANDING IMAGES.

IN HIS LATEST BOOK "THE CROSS"

ROD POINTS A CROSSLESS

GENERATION BACK TO CALVARY.

PAT: I READ THIS BOOK, ALMOST

LYRICAL, IT IS CALLED "A CROSS."

PASTOR ROD PARSLEY IS BACK.

THANK YOU, WHAT A JOY TO BE

HERE WITH YOU.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR WONDERFUL

ENDORSEMENT OF THE BOOK.

PAT: IT WAS BEAUTIFUL.

SOMETHING ABOUT THE CROSS THAT

MOVED YOU.

TELL US ABOUT YOUR OWN PERSONAL

EXPERIENCE.

THANK YOU FOR THAT.

I WAS SHARING WITH YOUR CO-HOST

WHO IS FROM WEST VIRGINIA.

I SAID YOU KNOW THEY CALL WEST

VIRGINIA ALMOST HEAVEN.

SHE SAID WHY.

NEXT DOOR TO KENTUCKY.

MY FAMILY IS FROM EASTERN

KENTUCKY THE INTERSECTION OF THE

TUG RIVER WHERE THEY FORM THE

SANDY RIVER AND RUN INTO THE

OHIO.

RIGHT THERE A LITTLE CHURCH

BUILDINGS, PAT, FROM THE TIME I

CAN REMEMBER HAVING A MEMORY, I

WAS IN THOSE WOODEN CHURCH PEWS

LOGGING A WHOLE LOT OF HOURS.

I WAS MESMERIZED BY THE SINGING

THE PREACHING WHERE THE CROSS

WAS CENTRAL AND TESTIMONIES

WHERE THE CROSS WAS CENTRAL.

I WOULD SIT AND GAZE OUT THOSE

STAINED GLASS WINDOWS.

EACH ONE DEPICTED A BIBLICAL

SCENE.

EVERY ONE HAD THE CROSS

SUPERIMPOSED OVER THEM.

I BEGAN TO LITERALLY VIEW THE

CROSS, I AM IN MY 40TH YEAR

PREACHING THE BLOOD STAINED

CROSS OF CHRIST.

PAT: IT IS THE CERTAIN.

IT IS THE HALLMARK OF TRUE

EVANGELISM.

PAT: UH HUH.

SEEMS IN 21ST CENTURY

AMERICA, THE CROSS HAS GONE

MISSING.

LARGELY DUE TO MISUNDERSTANDING

OF THE SUPREME COURT OF

SEPARATION OF CHURCH AND STATE,

MOST OF OUR LITERAL CROSSES HAVE

BEEN FORCIBLY REMOVED FROM OUR

PUBLIC PLACES WHERE THEY HAVE

BEEN DISPLAYED FOR DECADES

PROUDLY WITHOUT HARM.

NOW WE ARE TOLD WE ARE POST

CHRISTIAN NATION.

LAST THING ANYONE IN POLITE

SOCIETY WOULD WANT TO DO IS DO

OFFEND THE DELICATE

SENSIBILITIES OF THE SKEPTIC

ATHEIST OR AGNOSTIC.

SURELY IN OUR CHURCHES, SURELY

THERE WE'LL FIND WHERE THE CROSS

IS HONORED AND DISPLAYED.

IN A NATION WHERE A CROSS ONCE

TOPPED THE STEEPLE OF EVERY

CHURCH BUILDING, IT HAS FALLEN

OUT OF FASHION.

THEY SAY IT IS SO OLD SCHOOL, SO

LAST CENTURY.

I THINK BECAUSE THE CROSS, SCENE

OF CALVARY IS SO UGLY.

IT IS GRIM TO LOOK AT THERE.

PAT: WHAT DOES THE CROSS SAY

TO YOU IN TERMS OF WHAT IT MEANS

IN CHRISTIANITY?

IT IS THE CENTRAL, IT MUST BE

BE, PAT, THE CENTRAL MESSAGE OF

CHRISTIANITY.

IT IS THE IRREFUTABLE EVIDENCE

OF GOD'S UNCONDITIONAL HOLINESS

OF HIS SUPREME LOVE FOR

HUMANITY.

SOME LOOK AT THE CROSS, 1

CORINTHIANS 1:23, THE CROSS IS A

STUMBLING BLOCK TO THE JEW, THE

THE RELIGIOUS, TO THOSE THAT

THINK THEY CAN DO IT ON THEIR

OWN.

THEY STUMBLE OVER THE CROSS

BECAUSE THE CROSS SAYS IT IS THE

CROSS AND NOTHING.

IT IS THE CROSS OR NOTHING.

PAT: THAT IS WHAT PAUL SAID.

JESUS CHRIST CRUCIFIED, THAT WAS

IT.

HE GOT TO ATHENS AND PLAYED HEAD

GAMES.

HE GOT TO CORINTH, IT IS THE

CROSS, PERIOD.

THAT IS WHERE WE ARE, 1

CORINTHIANS 1:23, BUT TO THE

GREEK IT IS FOOLISHNESS.

TO THE INTELLECTUAL MIND AND

THANK GOD FOR INTELLECT.

WE HAVE A WHOLE LOT OF PREACHERS

THAT WOULD DO GOOD TO COME TO

REGENT AND LEARN TO READ AT

LEAST.

WE HAVE A PARADOX.

WHILE THE CROSS IS DISAPPEARING

FROM OUR CITY SCAPES AND CHURCH

PLATFORMS, AT THE SAME TIME,

CROSSES SEEM TO BE EVERYWHERE.

THEY DANGLE FROM THE NECKS OF

GODLESS GYRATING POP STARS,

PROFESSIONAL ATHLETES BRAND

THEIR BODIES WITH EVERY SIZE OF

A CROSS.

IF A CROSS MAKES AN APPEARANCE

AT A PLAY OR GRADUATION, IT WILL

CAUSE LAWSUITS.

WE FOUND A WAY TO MARGINALIZE

THE ONLY EMBLEM, A CROSSLESS

GENERATION HAS TO BE POINTED

BACK TO CALVARY.

PAT: IS THE BOOK OUT NOW?

IT IS IN BOOKSTORES AND

RODPARSLEY.COM.

PAT: THIS IS A FABULOUS BOOK,

LADIES AND GENTLEMEN.

YOU HAVE TOUCHED THE HEART OF

CHRISTIANITY HERE.

I HAVE HAD SUCH A GOOD TIME

DOING IT, PAT.

I DID THE TRILOGY OF BOOKS,

"SILENT NO MORE."

"CULTURALLY INCORRECT."

AND "LIVING ON OUR HEADS."

ON THIS ONE, IT WAS A TWO-YEAR

LABOR OF LOVE, REALLY.

I WENT BACK INTO MY HISTORY.

I SAID WHAT IS THE MOST

SIGNIFICANT EMBLEM OF MY

CHRISTIANITY?

WHAT SAYS IT ALL?

THE CROSS.

PAT: BROTHER, I APPRECIATE

THIS BOOK.

I COMMEND IT TO YOU.

IT IS LIKE READING POETRY.

VERY ELOQUENT AND VERY MOVING.

WE LEAVE YOU WITH TODAY'S POWER

MINUTE, PSALM 99: THE LORD ALSO

WILL BE A REFUGE FOR THE

OPPRESSED.

REFUGE IN THE TIME OF TROUBLE.

THOSE THAT KNOW YOUR NAME WILL

PUT THEIR TRUST IN YOU.

FOR YOU, LORD, FOR THOSE THAT

HAVE NOT FORSAKEN YOU.

OUR THANKS TO PASTOR PARSLEY AND

LOOK FORWARD TO SEEING YOU

TOMORROW, BYE-BYE.

GOD BLESS YOU.
