- [Reporter] Chad and Kathlyn Parrott
became owners of aresidential concrete business.
But within a year, Chad knewthey had to shut it down.
It was a decision he didn't take lightly,
especially since they nowhad a one year old daughter.
- How can I look at my wifeand tell her we're broke
and the business is going under
and I don't know what we're gonna do.
- And I just thought oh my goodness,
like we have $30 in the bank account
and we don't even haveenough money to buy formula.
It was really scary because I just thought
is this gonna get worse, you know,
and are we gonna lose our house?

Then one day, as he waspraying, he heard from God.

that, you know, why don't you fast.
- [Reporter] Chad started a 21-day fast.
About a week later, Chadbelieved God was urging him
to take a step of faithwith their finances.
- I felt God as I wasdrinking my coffee one morning
during my devotionals, you know,
I want you to start paying your tithe.
- And I knew he was hearing from God
and that God had reallyimpressed that on him.
And so I'm like, "Okay."
- [Reporter] The couple tithed
off the last payment they had received
from their concrete businessand started giving to CBN.
Chad and Kathlyn then decided
to open a new concrete business,
this time, making sureto give 10% back to God.
- I had a hope that Ihadn't had for a long time
and it was a genuine, genuine hope
that I knew that I was tappinginto the right resource.

and soon the phone started ringing.
In the first year, thecompany's gross income
went from $500,000 to $750,000.
Five years later, ithad grown to $900,000.
Their individual income increased by 260%
from what they had beenmaking before they tithed.

and trusting God thatthat's why our business
has been successful.
