AND NEWS OUTLETS PROCLAIM PEACE
BETWEEN ISRAEL AND THE UAE,
CONTINUE TO POUR INTO ISRAEL
FROM GAZA, WHAT IS THE
CONNECTION?
>> THIS DEAL CAN EITHER BE A
GREAT BLESSING OR IT CAN BE A
DISASTER.
IT IS A BLESSING IF THE UNITED
ARAB EMIRATES STOPS FUNDING THE
INCITEMENT. RIGHT NOW, UAE IS
SENDER, THERE IS A CURRICULUM
BASED ON WAR.
>> Reporter: FOR YEARS, HIS
GROUP HAS INVESTIGATED WHAT IS
TAUGHT TO PALESTINIAN CHILDREN
AND SHOWED IT TO THE WORLD IN
DOCUMENTARIES LIKE THIS ONE.
MOST PALESTINIAN CHILDREN IN
GAZA ATTEND SCHOOL TEACHING THE
STATE.
>> THE CURRICULUM WHICH WE HAVE
PAINSTAKINGLY GONE THROUGH,
WHICH MANDATES CHILDREN HAVE TO
BE TRAINED FOR BELLIGERENCE
AGAINST ISRAEL, TAKE UP ARMS
AGAINST ISRAEL, THEIR SLOGAN IS
THE RIGHT OF RETURN BY FORCE OF
ARMS, THIS IS THE ONLY WAY TO
STOP IT IS TO GO TO THE DONOR
COUNTRIES.

CURRICULUM IS WRITTEN BY THE

ISRAEL INSISTED ON THAT
APPROACH DURING THE OSLO
ACCORDS IN THE 90s, THINGS
WOULD BE DIFFERENT TODAY.
CHRIS MITCHELL, CBN  NEWS.
>>> WE HAVE BEEN TELLING YOU
FOR SOME TIME THAT THE
PALESTINIAN AUTHORITY TRAINS
CHILDREN IN INCITEMENT, THEY
GLORIFY WHAT THEY CALL
MARCHERS, PEOPLE WHO KILL
JEWISH PEOPLE AND PUT IN PRISON
IN ISRAEL FOR DOING THAT OR ARE
KILLED IN THE PROCESS, SETTING
OFF SUICIDE BOMBING, THEY
ACTUALLY PUT UP STATUES TO THEM,
IN CITY CENTERS AFTER THEM, IT
HAS BEEN OUR TAX DOLLARS THAT
HAVE GONE INTO THAT EFFORT, THE
MONEY THAT HAS GONE INTO THE
PALESTINIAN AUTHORITY, EITHER
THROUGH THE U.N. OR THROUGH
DIRECT U.S. AID, ABSOLUTELY USED
TO AWARD THE FAMILY IS OF
SUICIDE BOMBERS.
THIS TRAINING HAPPENS VERY
EARLY, THEY START TRAINING
THEIR CHILDREN TO KILL JEWISH
PEOPLE, IT SOUNDS UNBELIEVABLE,
BUT THAT IS THE REALITY ON THE
GROUND. WE HAVE BEEN SAYING
THIS FOR A LONG TIME, WE
FINALLY HAD AN ADMINISTRATION,
THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION, I
APPLAUD WHAT THEY HAVE DONE,
THEY HAVE SAID WE ARE NO LONGER
GOING TO FUND THAT, IF YOU ARE
GOING TO USE OUR TAX DOLLARS TO
PAY TERRORIST FAMILIES, WE ARE
GOING TO CUT THAT OFF, NOT ONLY
DID THEY CUT OFF THE DIRECT AID
BECAUSE OF THAT, THE TAYLOR
FORCE ACT WAS ALSO PART OF IT,
IT IS CONGRESS, IT IS THE
SENATE, AND IT IS OUR
ADMINISTRATION COMING INTO
AGREEMENT, SAYING NO MORE.
NOT ONLY DID THEY CUT OFF, THIS
ADMINISTRATION ALSO CUT OFF
U.S. AID, WHICH HAS BEEN A
FICTION, SAYING WE ARE GOING TO
HAVE REFUGEE STATUS FOREVER FOR
THE PALESTINIANS, ALL THAT
MONEY DOES IS PAY FOR MORE
INCITEMENT AND PAY FOR PEOPLE
TO GO OUT AND KILL JEWISH
PEOPLE, DRIVE THEM INTO THE SEA
BY FORCE OF ARMS.
NOW THE UAE HAS COME TO THE
TABLE AND SAID WE WANT PEACE
WITH ISRAEL, CAN THIS BE AN
OPPORTUNITY WHERE ONCE AGAIN WE
POINT OUT, HERE IS WHAT THEY
ARE DOING, HERE IS WHAT THE
PALESTINIAN AUTHORITY IS DOING.
THERE IS CONSTANT INCITEMENT,
CHILDREN ARE TRAINED FROM BIRTH
TO HATE ISRAEL, TO KILL JEWISH
PEOPLE, THIS HAS TO STOP, IF WE
WANT TO EVER SEE PEACE IN THIS
REGION, THAT KIND OF INCITEMENT
HAS TO STOP.

>>  THE BIPARTISAN COMMISSION
CHAIR BY JIMMY CARTER AND AND

RISK OF FRAUD AND COERCION.
SINCE THAT TIME, THERE HAVE
BEEN, IN THE NEWSPAPERS,
NETWORKS, ACADEMIC STUDIES,
SAYING IT IS OPEN TO FRAUD AND
COERCION.
THE ONLY TIME THE NARRATIVE
CHANGED IS AFTER THIS
ADMINISTRATION CAME IN.
>> Reporter: LAW AND ORDER, THE
ECONOMY, AND CORONAVIRUS ARE
TOP ISSUES, BUT ELECTION NIGHT,
THE PROBLEMS WITH WIDESPREAD
MAIL IN VOTING COULD BE THE
MAJOR HEADLINE AND A ROBOT TO
QUICKLY KNOWING WHO HAS WON THE
ELECTION.
>> ONE TOP DEMOCRATIC OPERATIVE
TOLD THE POST THAT VOTER FRAUD
IS REAL, HE SAID HE KNOWS IT IS
TRUE BECAUSE HE HAS BEEN DOING
IT FOR DECADES ON A MAJOR
SCALE, TELLING THE PAPER THERE
ARE MULTIPLE WAYS TO CARRY OUT
VOTER FRAUD WITH MAIL-IN
BALLOTING AND WARNING THERE

MEANS RECOGNIZING RACE, GENDER,

AWARENESS AND UNDERSTANDING OF
WORKERS FAITHS AND WORLDVIEWS,
PAYPAL IS NOT ALONE, LAST YEAR,

DR. BRYAN GRAIN, RESIDENT OF
THE RELIGIOUS FREEDOM AND
BUSINESS FOUNDATION, SPEARHEADS
THE PUSH TO MAKE CORPORATE
AMERICA FAITH FRIEND.
>> THEY ARE NOT THERE TO
SUBSTITUTE FOR CHURCH OR GOING
TO SYNAGOGUE OR SOME OTHER
PLACE OF WORSHIP, THEY ARE
THERE TO GIVE SUPPORT TO
EMPLOYEES, RECOGNIZING, IF YOU
BRING YOUR WHOLE SELF TO WORK,
INCLUDING HER FAITH, THAT YOU
ARE MORE LIKELY TO STICK AT THE
JOB, BE EXCITED ABOUT THE JOB,
AND IT GIVES YOU INSIGHTS INTO
CUSTOMERS AND YOUR FELLOW
EMPLOYEES, EVEN IF THEY ARE A
DIFFERENT PLACE.
>> Reporter: THESE GROUPS COULD
HELP FIGHT WORKPLACE
DISCRIMINATION, IN 2018, THE
EEOC HAD MORE COMPLAINTS ABOUT
RELIGION THAN SEXUAL
ORIENTATION.
IT IS GOOD BUSINESS, THANKS TO
A GROWING POPULATION, BY 2050,
THERE WILL BE 2.3 BILLION MORE
RELIGIOUSLY AFFILIATED PEOPLE
ON THE PLANET.
RESEARCH ALSO SHOWS ECONOMIES
ARRIVE WHEN CULTURES ARE OPEN
TO RELIGION.
>> WHERE YOU HAVE A MORE OPEN
SOCIETY TO MATTERS OF FAITH,
GIVING PEOPLE A FREEDOM TO HAVE
FAITH OR CHANGE FAITH WILL HAVE
NO FAITH AT ALL, THAT COINCIDES
WITH MORE INNOVATIVE THINKING,
IT ALSO COINCIDES WITH A MORE
ROBUST CIVIL SOCIETY, ALL OF
WHICH ARE IMPORTANT FACTORS FOR
HAVING AN ECONOMY THAT IS BUILT
TO LAST.
>> Reporter: LEADERS ESSAY,
BECOMING FAITH FRIENDLY CAN
ALSO HELP ATTRACT WORKERS.
>> IT IS A GREAT MESSAGE, TO GO
OUT TO UNIVERSITY CAMPUSES AND
TALK ABOUT DIVERSITY INCLUSION
AT YOUR COMPANY.
TO BE ABLE TO SAY, WE HAVE
FAITH-BASED INITIATIVES.

JUST ABOUT CONSTITUTIONAL
FREEDOM, PROMOTING RELIGIOUS
DIVERSITY IN THE WORKPLACE CAN
NOW BE SEEN AS JUST GOOD
BUSINESS.
HEATHER SELLS, CBN  NEWS.
>> IT IS A WELCOME CHANGE, IT
ALSO UNDERLINES THE OVERALL
SOCIAL CHANGE WE HAVE BEEN
EXPERIENCING THE LAST 50 YEARS,
INCREASINGLY, CHRISTIANS ARE
BEING MARGINALIZED, ACTUALLY
DISCRIMINATED AGAINST BECAUSE
OF THEIR FAITH.
SO, TO SEE EMPLOYERS SAY, WELL,
LET'S DO IT THE OTHER WAY
AROUND AND LET'S ENCOURAGE IT.
I CERTAINLY STAND UP AND
APPLAUD IT.
PAY ATTENTION TO THAT STATISTIC,
AT THE EEOC, THE EQUAL
EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITY
COMMISSION, THAT IS A FEDERAL
AGENCY, THE NUMBER ONE
COMPLAINT HAS BEEN RELIGIOUS
DISCRIMINATION, AND THE NUMBER
ONE GROUP IN THAT COMPLAINT ARE
EVANGELICAL CHRISTIANS.
HOW MUCH HAS THE CURRENT
POLITICAL ENVIRONMENT LED TO
THAT WITH LITERALLY HOLLERING
AND FEATHERING CHRISTIAN
CONSERVATIVES, WHERE YOU ARE
NOT EVEN ALLOWED TO HAVE A VOICE
AND YOU HEAR THIS AGAIN AND
AGAIN, THE PUBLIC SQUARE, I
HAVE SAID FOR A LONG TIME, IT
WOULD BE PRACTICALLY IMPOSSIBLE
FOR A TRUE EVANGELICAL
CHRISTIAN TO GET APPROVED ON TO
THE U.S. SUPREME COURT.
WHEN YOU HEAR U.S. SENATORS
OPENLY SAY YOUR DOGMA SPEAKS
VERY LOUDLY, IN SENATE
HEARINGS, ESSENTIALLY HAVING A
RELIGIOUS TEST FOR PUBLIC
OFFICE, WHEN YOU HEAR THESE
THINGS HAPPEN, NO ONE
CHALLENGES THAT, NO ONE REBUKES
IT, NOBODY SAYS THIS ISN'T THE
AMERICA WE WANT FOR OUR
CHILDREN AND GRANDCHILDREN, WE
NEED TO BRING IT AND BRING THIS
TO THE FOREFRONT, I CERTAINLY
APPLAUD THE COMPANIES DOING
THIS AND MORE SHOWED, WE NEED
TO BE ONE NATION UNDER GOD,
INDIVISIBLE, WITH LIBERTY AND
JUSTICE FOR ALL, THAT MEANS
EVERYBODY.

STREETS AFTER THE CITY WAS
ROCKED BY VIOLENCE AND
PROTESTS, SPIRITUAL AWAKENING

MASSACHUSETTS, COMPLETE WITH
CELEBRATIONS AND BAPTISMS IN
PUBLIC PLACES.
IT IS HARD TO IMAGINE, LESS
THAN 200 MILES FROM THIS SCENE
IN SEATTLE, YOU SEE SOMETHING
LIKE THIS IN OREGON.
A WAVE OF REVIVAL IS GROWING,
IN PORTLAND, THOUSANDS OF
CHRISTIANS RECENTLY LIFTED
THEIR VOICES IN PRAYER, PRAISE,
AND WORSHIP FOR AN EVENT CALLED
RIOTS TO REVIVAL, AN EFFORT TO
HEAL THE BROKENNESS RESULTING
FROM THE PANDEMIC.
JUST HOURS BEFORE, PROTESTERS

HEADQUARTERS.
SEAN FEUCHT HAS BEEN A LEADER

FREE AND THERE IS SO MUCH JOY
AND PEACE, PEOPLE ARE BEING SET
FREE FROM DEPRESSION AND
SUICIDAL THOUGHTS, IT IS JUST,
IT FEELS LIKE WHAT GOD WOULD
ALWAYS WANT THE EARTH TO LOOK
LIKE.
>> Reporter: A SIMILAR OUTCOME
RECENTLY PLAYED OUT IN CHICAGO,
WHERE DEADLY VIOLENCE HAS BEEN
RAMPANT, A MINISTRY CALLED THE
LAST REFORMATION, FLOODED THE
CITY THROUGH TENT REVIVALS AND
STREET EVANGELISM.
>> HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE IN THE
STREET, ALL DIFFERENT AREAS,
PEOPLE HAVE BEEN RECEPTIVE,
PEOPLE WERE GETTING HEALED ON
THE STREET, COMING BACK TO THE
TENT, GETTING BAPTIZED, GIVING
THEIR LIFE TO JESUS.
>> Reporter: EARLIER THIS YEAR,
A MOVEMENT INVOLVING 1000
CHURCHES CALLED A WEEK IN
TENNESSEE, SPARKED A REVIVAL
THAT LASTED SEVERAL MONTHS.
PASTORS REPORTED RECORD
SALVATION'S AND MASS MIRACLES,
AS A RESULT OF THE HOLY SPIRIT
SHOWING UP AND TAKING OVER.
ALL REASONS WHY FEUCHT HOPES TO
TAKE HIS MINISTRY TO EVEN MORE
CITIES.
>> GOD IS GOING TO FLIP THE
SCRIPT, NO PLACE IS TOO HARD,
TOO DARK.
>> TIME FOR THE CHURCH TO MAKE
A DIFFERENCE, IT IS WONDERFUL
TO SEE, WONDERFUL TO SEE
REVIVALS BREAKING OUT IN THE
MIDDLE OF RIOTS, THAT IS GOD.
WHEN THE ENEMY COMES IN LIKE A
FLOOD AND HE WANTS TO DIVIDE,
HE WANTS TO KILL, HE WANTS TO
DESTROY, HE WANTS TO DO ALL OF
THOSE THINGS, THE LORD ALWAYS
RAISES UP A STANDARD.
A QUESTION FOR YOU AND I IS, DO
WE WANT TO BE PART OF THAT?
DO WE WANT TO BE PART OF
RAISING UP THE STANDARD?
DO WE WANT TO BE ON GOD'S
ASIDE?
SAY, GOD, I SEE YOUR PLAN, I
SEE WHAT YOU ARE TRAINED TO DO,
CAN YOU INCLUDE ME?
CAN I BE PART OF YOUR PLAN?
YOU CAN ALWAYS PRAY, THAT IS
THE MOST EFFECTIVE THING YOU
CAN DO, PLEASE BE PRAYING FOR
OUR COUNTRY, YOU CAN ALSO
PARTICIPATE, THERE IS SO MANY
DIFFERENT, THIS IS LITERALLY
BREAKING OUT IN CITIES WHERE
EVER YOU SEE THE RIOTS, SAME
THING, BREAKING OUT, CAN YOU BE
PART OF IT?
PAY ATTENTION TO WHAT YOUR
LOCAL CHURCHES ARE DOING, IN
THE TIDEWATER AREA, A WONDERFUL
THING CALLED THE CITY COLLECTIVE
THAT IS BOTH MARCHING FOR
RACIAL JUSTICE AND MARCHING FOR
JESUS, SAYING WE WANT OUR NATION
TO BE RESTORED AND RETURNED.
IF MY PEOPLE, WHO ARE CALLED BY
MY NAME, THIS IS A CALL OUT TO
CHRISTIANS, IF MY PEOPLE, WHO
ARE CALLED MY NAME, WILL HUMBLE
THEMSELVES AND PRAY, I WILL
HEAL FROM HEAVEN AND I WILL HEAL
THEIR LAND.
LET THAT BE YOUR WATCHWORD,

HAPPENING IN EVERY SINGLE CITY,
BE A PART OF IT, BE A PART OF
IT IN PRAYER, LET YOUR VOICE BE

REMEMBER, I WOULD SAY, FATHER
GOD, YOU SAY JUST IN THE LORD

EVALUATION, YOU HAVE TO BECOME

I BEGAN TO THINK ABOUT WHEN I
WAS HAVING SEX WITH THAT THAT
GUY WITH HIV AND I JUST KNEW I
HAD A.I.D.S., I REMEMBER  GOING
IN THE ROOM AND CRYING OUT AND
SAYING FATHER, DADDY, HELPING,
DADDY, I DON'T WANT TO DIE.
I REMEMBER WAKING UP THAT
MORNING AND OPENING UP A BIBLE
TO JOEL 3:21, THE SCRIPTURE
SAYS THY BLOOD THAT ONCE WASN'T
CLEAN HAS NOW BEEN MADE CLEAN.
AND IT SAYS, YOUR SINS HAVE
BEEN FORGIVEN, I REMEMBER MAYBE
THREE DAYS LATER THEY TESTED ME
AND I WAS NEGATIVE.
>> Reporter: YOLANDA WAS
RELEASED AND IN 2011, SOMEONE
INVITED HER TO CHURCH.

ON THE FLOOR, BOWING DOWN, IT
WAS LIKE I WAS AT THE FOOT OF
JESUS AND I BEGAN TO WORSHIP
AND I BEGAN TO CRY OUT AND I
SAID, GOD, I NEED YOU, GOD, I
CAN'T DO THIS.
I WAS HELPLESS, I GOT TO THE
END OF MYSELF SO GOD CAN COME
IN, I REMEMBER CRYING OUT AND
SAYING, GOD, HAVE YOUR WAY.
A GOD, WHAT EVER IT IS THAT YOU
WANT TO DO IN MY LIFE, JUST DO

DEALER, WHEN TRIALS AND
TRIBULATIONS COME, YOU WERE
TRYING TO FIND A WAY TO
ALLEVIATE THAT PAIN, WE GET
HIGH, WE DRINK, WE SMOKE, BUT
GOSSIP, WE GAMBLE, WE PARTY, WE
FIND GANGS TO GET INTO, WHAT I
DO NOW IS I TEACH INDIVIDUALS
THAT THERE IS A WAY OF ESCAPE
AND IT DOESN'T HAVE TO BE DRUGS
OR ALCOHOL, YOU CAN FIND A WAY
OF ESCAPE IN GOD, FROM 2008 UP
UNTIL 2020, I AM STILL HIV FREE.
DON'T TAKE NO MEDICATION, I
HAVE NO SICKNESSES, I AM IN
GOOD HEALTH, I AM DELIVERED
FROM CRACK COCAINE, AND
DELIVERED FROM PRISON, I AM
DELIVERED FROM SICKNESS.
THAT'S THE TYPE OF GOD I SERVE.
>> YOU CAN HAVE THAT SAME
THING.
YOU CAN HAVE DELIVERANCE, YOU
CAN HAVE A LIFE THAT IS FREE OF
ADDICTION, YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE
LOOKING FOR ESCAPE ANYMORE,
BECAUSE YOU HAVE FOUND A
SANCTUARY IN HIM.
YOLANDA'S STORY REMINDS ME OF
SOMETHING FROM THE BIBLE, IT IS
ONE OF THE THINGS THAT HAPPENED
TO JESUS, HE IS COMING IN TO EAT
IN A PHARISEES HOME, THESE ARE
LEADERS OF THE SYNAGOGUE AND A
SINFUL WOMAN COMES IN, SHE
CRIES OVER HIS FEET AND BEGINS
TO WASH HIS FEET WITH HER TEARS
AND WIPE IT WITH HER HAIR.
SHE LOVES, SO MUCH, THE
KNOWLEDGE SHE HAS BEEN FORGIVEN
, SHE HAS BEEN SET FREE.
WHAT DID THE PHARISEES DO?
THEY LOOK AT HER WITH SCORN,
THEN THEY LOOK AT JESUS WITH
HIS SCORN, THAT HE CAN'T
POSSIBLY BE A RIGHTEOUS MAN, IF
HE KNEW WHAT MANNER OF WOMAN
WAS TOUCHING HIS FEET, YOU ARE
BEING RITUALLY CONTAMINATED BY
HER.
BUT JESUS LOVED HER.
AND LOVED WHAT SHE WAS DOING.
YOLANDA, SHE COMES INTO A
CHURCH, SHE IS OUT OF PRISON,
SHE GOES TO THE ALTAR AND SHE
JUST FALLS ON HER FACE.
SHE FALLS AT THE FEET OF JESUS,
WEEPING, LORD, WHATEVER YOU
NEED, I AM ALL IN, I AM ALL
YOURS.
IN THAT, SHE FINDS RELEASE, SHE
FINDS SHELTER, SHE FINDS
ACCEPTANCE.
JESUS DIDN'T REJECTED THAT
WOMAN IN THE BIBLE, HE WON'T
REJECT YOU.
LOOK AT YOLANDA'S LIFE, WHAT
SHE DID, HOW FAR SHE WENT, HOW
MANY FELONIES SHE HAD, YOU LOOK
AT THESE THINGS, HER FEAR OF
HIV, ALL OF THESE THINGS, AND
JESUS SAYS, I WILL TAKE YOU, I
WILL TAKE YOU HOME, I WILL MAKE
YOU KNEW, I WILL GIVE YOU NEW
BLOOD, I WILL GIVE YOU
COMPLETELY NEW NERVOUS SYSTEM,
I WILL TAKE AWAY THE
COMPULSIONS, TAKE AWAY ALL AND
I WILL GIVE YOU, IN RETURN
RIGHTEOUSNESS.
WILL GIVE YOU LIFE AND I WILL
GIVE IT MORE ABUNDANTLY.
IF THIS IS FOR YOU, BOW YOUR
HEAD WITH ME, DO THE SAME THING
YOLANDA DID, DON'T HOLD ON
ANYMORE.
I DON'T CARE IF YOU HAVE A
CRACK PIPE IN YOUR HAND, I
DON'T CARE IF YOU HAVE A BOTTLE
OF VODKA IN YOUR HAND, JESUS
DOESN'T CARE EITHER, WHAT HE IS
LOOKING FOR IS A BROKEN HEART,
TO SAY, I WILL COME AND I WILL
JUST LAY AT YOUR FEET.
I WILL GIVE IT UNTO YOU.
LORD, IF YOU CAN MAKE ANYTHING
OF MY LIFE, HERE IT IS, TAKE
ME.
IF THIS IS YOU, THIS IS WHAT
YOU WANT, LET'S PRAY, AND JESUS
WILL DO FOR YOU WHAT HE HAS
DONE FOR OTHERS.
PRAY WITH ME.
JESUS, THAT IS RIGHT, JUST SAY
HIS NAME, SAY IT OUT LOUD,
JESUS, I COME TO YOU, LORD,
HERE IS MY LIFE.
I GIVE IT ALL TO YOU, IF YOU
CAN MAKE ANYTHING OF IT, LORD,
PLEASE, COME INTO MY HEART,
PLEASE FORGIVE ME OF ALL THE
THINGS I HAVE DONE WRONG,
PLEASE, SET ME FREE FROM EVERY
COMPULSION, MAKE ME NEW AGAIN,
AND JESUS, IF YOU DO THIS FOR
ME, I WANT TO FOLLOW YOU EVERY
DAY, EVERY DAY, I WANT TO BE
MADE NEW, EVERY DAY, I WANT TO
BE WITH YOU.
HEAR MY PRAYER, FOR I ASK IT,
IN JESUS' NAME, AMEN.
FOR THOSE WHO JUST PRAYED, I
ASKED FOR A BAPTISM IN YOUR
LOVE, I ASK THAT YOU FILL THEM
TO OVERFLOWING WITH YOUR LOVE,
YOUR PRESENCE, YOUR BREASTS,
YOUR SPIRIT, BE WITH THEM, LORD
GOD, FOR WE ASK IT, AND JESUS'
NAME.
AMEN.
AND AMEN.
IF YOU PRAYED WITH ME, THERE'S
ONE MORE THING I WANT YOU TO
DO, I WANT YOU TO TELL
SOMEBODY, THAT IS ONE OF THE
KEYS, WHEN YOU BELIEVE IN YOUR
HEART AND CONFESS WITH YOUR
MOUTH, YOU SHALL BE SAVED.
ALL YOU'VE GOT TO DO IS SAY, I
PRAYED WITH THAT GUY ON TV, I
ASKED JESUS TO COME INTO MY
HEART.
WHEN YOU CALL, I HAVE GOT
SOMETHING FOR YOU, IT IS A
TEACHING, HOW DO YOU LIVE THE
CHRISTIAN LIFE, I ENCOURAGE YOU

START WITH THE GOSPEL OF JOHN,

WILL LEARN ABOUT JESUS JUST BY
READING ABOUT HIM IN THE
GOSPELS, DO THAT EVERY DAY, IT
IS THROUGH READING SCRIPTURE IS
THAT YOU RENEW YOUR MIND,
CHANGE YOUR THINKING, YOU START
THINKING GOD'S WAY.

CHICAGO ARE SHOCKING, MORE THAN
500 HOMICIDES SO FAR THIS YEAR,
ALREADY MORE THAN IN ALL OF
2019, AT LEAST 40 CHILDREN HAVE
BEEN KILLED, INCLUDING A NINE-
YEAR-OLD BOY WHO WAS SHOT WHILE
PLAYING IN A PARKING LOT, DIANE
LATIKER HAS BEEN AN EYEWITNESS
TO THIS VIOLENCE, SHE HAS
DEDICATED HER LIFE TO STOPPING
IT.
>> Reporter: DIANE LATIKER WAS
NAMED A CNN HERO  FOR HELPING
THOUSANDS OF AT-RISK TEENS IN
HER NEIGHBORHOOD.
AFTER RAISING EIGHT KIDS OF HER
OWN, DIANE WAS LOOKING FORWARD
TO TIME TO HERSELF, GOD HAD
OTHER PLANS.
HE STIRRED HER HEART TO OFFER
THE KIDS IN HER COMMUNITY A
SAFE HAVEN FROM GANG AND GUN
VIOLENCE.
>> WE WANT TO BE A SUPPORT
SYSTEM.
>> Reporter: IN HER BOOK, "KIDS
OFF THE BLOCK," SHE SHARES HER
INSPIRING STORY OF DETECTING
CHICAGO'S MOST VULNERABLE YOUTH.
>> DIANE JOINS US NOW, IT IS
TRULY AN HONOR TO TALK TO YOU
TODAY, THANK YOU FOR BEING WITH
US.
>> THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR
INVITING ME ON.
>> AS WE MENTIONED EARLIER,
CHICAGO IS IN THE MIDDLE OF AN
EPIDEMIC, WE HAVE SEEN PROTESTS
AND RIOTS ERUPT IN PARTS OF THE
CITY, WHAT KIND OF
CONVERSATIONS ARE YOU HAVING
WITH THE KIDS WHO ARE INVOLVED
IN YOUR PROGRAM?
>> I WANTED TO MAKE SURE THEY
FEEL SAFE, THAT IS THE BOTTOM
LINE, WHETHER IT BE VIOLENC,
PROTESTS, WHETHER IT BE WORRIED
ABOUT THE VIRUS, I WANT TO MAKE
SURE THE YOUNG PEOPLE WE SERVE
FEEL SAFE, BECAUSE ONCE THEY
FEEL SAFE, THEY ARE ABLE TO
ADJUST TO LIFE AROUND THEM AND
NOT BECOME PART OF THAT LIFE.
>> YOU HAVE SAID YOU ARE NOT
JUST TALKING TO THE KIDS, BUT
YOU ARE LISTENING, WHICH IS SO
IMPORTANT, WHAT KIND OF
REVELATIONS HAVE YOU GOTTEN
FROM LISTENING TO THE KIDS?
>> I HAVE GOTTEN THAT THEY ARE
SCARED.
THEY DON'T KNOW FROM ONE DAY TO
THE NEXT, THEY WERE ALREADY
DEALING WITH VIOLENCE AROUND
THEM, LOSING FRIENDS, AND NOW,
THE VIRUS AND ON TOP OF THAT,
THEY'RE NOT GOING TO BE BACK TO
SCHOOL PHYSICALLY, NOW THEY ARE
AT HOME, AND THEY ARE WORRIED
ABOUT THAT, THEY WERE
STRUGGLING IN THE PHYSICAL
BUILDING, NOW THEY ARE IN THE
HOME ENVIRONMENT, WHICH IS MUCH
HARDER FOR SOME OF THEM, THEY
DON'T HAVE ACCESS OR RESOURCES.
THEY'RE WORRIED ABOUT THAT.
>> HOW ARE YOU COMBATING THE
FEAR THEY ARE STRUGGLING WITH?
>> COMFORTING THEM, BY LETTING
THEM KNOW THERE IS PEOPLE LIKE
ME IN THE COMMUNITY WHO CARE.
WHO WILL HELP ANY WAY WE CAN BY
GIVING THEM, WE JUST DID OUR
BACK TO SCHOOL GIVEAWAY TWO
DAYS AGO, TO HELP THEM WITH
TOOLS TO LEARN, TO HELP THEM,
YOU KNOW, KIND OF EASE THE
THREAT OF NOT HAVING WHAT THEY
NEED AT HOME, BUT ALSO BE A
SUPPORT SYSTEM.
>> THAT IS AMAZING, LET'S GO
BACK A LITTLE BIT, HOW DID THE
PROGRAM, KIDS OFF THE BLOCK,
START?
TELL US ABOUT THAT.
>> MY HUSBAND AND I HAVE EIGHT
KIDS OF OUR OWN, FOUR KIDS, FOUR
BOYS, I WAS KIND OF STALKING MY
FIRST GIRL GOING TO COLLEGE, I
WOULD TAKE THEM FISHING AND
SWIMMING, TO THE MOVIES, AND MY
MOM SAW IT, MY MOM IS A
MINISTER, SHE SAID, DIANE,
THOSE KIDS, YOU SHOULD DO
SOMETHING, I AM LIKE, I AM
GOING TO BE FREE AFTER SHE IS
GONE.
SHE SAID, NO, YOU NEED TO DO
SOMETHING, I PRAYED FOR THREE
DAYS, LORD, WHAT CAN I DO, I AM
JUST A MOM, I DON'T HAVE ANY
DEGREES, ANY MONEY, WHAT CAN I
DO WITH OTHER PEOPLE'S KIDS,
THAT VOICE CAME TO ME AND SAID,
JUST GO OUT THERE, IN FRONT OF
YOUR HOUSE, TALK TO THEM.
THAT IS HOW IT STARTED, WHEN
HER FRIENDS, THE NEXT DAY I
KNOW, I'VE GOT KIDS KNOCKING AT
MY DOOR WHO I HAVE NEVER SEEN
BEFORE, ASKING FOR HELP.
>> IT IS AMAZING.
YOU HAVE DESCRIBED BEING SHOCKED
WHEN YOU HAVE ASKED THE KIDS
WHAT THEY WANTED TO BE WHEN
THEY GRIP, WHY IS IT SHOCKING
WHEN YOU ASK THAT?
>> IT WAS SHOCKING BECAUSE THEY
WERE ACTING LIKE THEY WERE TWO
AND THREE YEARS OLD.
[ LAUGHTER ] NOBODY HAD EVER
ASKED THEM BEFORE WHAT THEY
WANTED TO BE, WHAT DID THEY
WANT TO BE AND HOW CAN WE HELP
THEM TO GET THERE.
THEY WANTED TO BE EVERYTHING,
FROM SINGERS TO RAPPERS,
LAWYERS, NURSES.
THEY WANTED TO BE EVERYTHING.
IT WAS AWESOME, IT BROUGHT
TEARS TO MY EYES, THEY DID HAVE
DREAMS.
>> HOW ARE YOU GUYS HELPING
THEM ACHIEVE THOSE DREAMS?
WHAT GOES ON IN A TYPICAL DAY?
>> BEFORE THE VIRUS, THEY WERE
GETTING TUTORING, THEY WERE
BEING MEN TOWARD CONSTANTLY AND
THEY HAD A SUPPORT SYSTEM, A
HUGE SUPPORT SYSTEM, FROM
EDUCATORS TO PASTORS, TO
COMMUNITY RESIDENTS, THEY HAD A
BIG SUPPORT SYSTEM, AND, IN OUR
COMMUNITY, THAT IS VERY
IMPORTANT, BECAUSE IF WE DON'T,
AS A COMMUNITY, SURROUND OUR
CHILDREN, THE STREETS WILL TAKE
THEM, THE GANGS WILL TAKE THEM,
THEY DON'T CARE.
THEY WILL TAKE THEM, A NEGATIVE
FAMILY AGENT IMAGE, THE GANGS
HAVE A FAMILY IMAGE, THEY
WANTED TO BELONG TO SOMETHING.
WE AS A COMMUNITY HAVE TO
SURROUND OUR YOUNG PEOPLE AND
CHILDREN, MAKE SURE THEY KNOW,
WE ARE THE SUPPORT SYSTEM.
>> SPEAKING OF GANGS, YOU TAKE
IN CHILDREN REGARDLESS OF THEIR
GANG AFFILIATION, THAT HAS LED
YOU TO SOME STICKY SITUATIONS,
ONE TIME GETTING YOUR CAR SHOT
UP, WHAT HAPPENED?
>> THE VAN WAS, WELL, FIRST I
HAD TWO GANG LEADERS COME TO MY
HOUSE AND THREATENED ME AND MY
FAMILY, I HAD TO HAVE THEM
ARRESTED, THAT LED TO A
CONFRONTATION, I HAD SIX GANGS
IN MY LIVING ROOM AT ONE TIME,
SO, THAT TOOK ALL KINDS OF
CONFRONTATION, KIDS WANTED TO
GET OUT, AND THEY SHOT UP MY
VAN, I HAVE HAD 45S POINTED
DIRECTLY AT MY HEAD, GOT OFF
THE BUS, A SCHOOL BUS WITH 52
KIDS, AND AN AK-47.
BUT, IN ALL THOSE THINGS, GOD
PROTECTED US.
HE DID THAT.
>> BEFORE WE GO, I HAVE TO ASK,
I AM SURE THERE IS A LOT OF
PEOPLE WATCHING WHO ARE
INSPIRED BY WHAT YOU ARE DOING
AND WANT TO GIVE BACK TO THEIR
OWN COMMUNITIES, WHAT ADVICE
WOULD YOU GIVE TO THOSE WHO ARE
WANTING TO GIVE BACK?
>> DO IT.
THAT IS WHAT GOD, GOD DOESN'T
SAY, WAIT UNTIL YOU I GIVE YOU
$1 MILLION, HE SAID, DIANE, GO
DO IT.
THAT IS FAITH.
IF SOMETHING IS BOTHERING YOU,
AN ISSUE YOU CARE ABOUT, GO DO
IT, GET INVOLVED WITH IT, OR
GET INVOLVED WITH PEOPLE THAT
ARE DOING IT, THAT IS WHAT GOD
WANTS US TO DO.
>> YOU GUYS CAN READ MORE GREAT
STORIES ABOUT DIANE'S WORK IN
HER NEW BOOK, IT IS CALLED THE
"KIDS OFF THE BLOCK" AND IT IS
AVAILABLE NATIONWIDE, GOD BLESS
YOU AND EVERYTHING YOU ARE
DOING.

WAYS THAT SHE HELPS PEOPLE IS
THROUGH HER SUPPORT OF CBN.
>>  I LOVE WATCHING WHAT THEY
DO, HELPING PEOPLE IN THIRD
WORLD COUNTRIES THAT JUSTIN
NEED WATER TO EVEN LIVE AND NOT
GET SICK DRINKING FROM THE
CREEKS BY THEIR HOUSE, I THINK
THAT IS PROBABLY THE PART
CLOSEST TO MY HEART, THERE IS
JUST SO MANY THINGS THAT
OPERATION BLESSING DOES THAT I
THINK EVERYBODY OUGHT TO GIVE,
I REALLY DO.
>> Reporter: SINCE SHE HAS BEEN
GIVING REGULARLY, LINDA SAYS
SHE HAS SEEN GOD LESSER IN HER
LIFE.
>> THERE IS A VERSE IN THE
BIBLE THAT SAYS WHEN WE GIVE,
HE GIVES BACK.
I BELIEVE HE HAS GIVEN BACK TO
ME IN THAT WAY.
>> Reporter: LINDA WANT OTHERS
TO HAVE THE JOY SHE HAS FOUND
INCOMING.
>> PROMISES HE WILL TAKE CARE
OF US WHEN WE PUT HIM FIRST, HE
GAVE HIS BEST GIFT FOR US,
JESUS.
WE CAN'T TOP THAT, WHATEVER WE
DO, WE ARE JUST GIVING BACK TO
HIM.
>> PART OF THE FUNDAMENTAL
NATURE OF GOD.
HE GIVES, AND HE GIVES
ABUNDANTLY, IT IS THE CENTRAL
MESSAGE OF THE GOSPEL, FOR GOD
SO LOVED THE WORLD THAT HE
GAVE.
HE GAVE THE THING THAT WAS MOST
PRECIOUS TO HIM, HIS ONLY
BEGOTTEN SON.
WE, AS RECIPIENTS OF THAT GIFT,
WHAT DO WE DO?
HOW DO WE MIRROR THAT NATURE OF
GOD?
AS CHRISTIANS, WE NEED TO KNOW,
WE HAVE THE MIND OF CHRIST,
WHEN LOVE COMPELS US TO DO
THINGS, WHEN WE SEE PROBLEMS IN
OUR NEIGHBORHOODS, PROBLEMS IN
THE WORLD, OUR RESPONSE NEEDS
TO BE ONE OF LOVE AND LOVE
ALWAYS ASKS, WHAT CAN I DO, HOW
CAN I BE A PART, HOW CAN I
SUPPORT, HOW CAN I SEND, HOW
CAN I GO.

NOW, WE HAVE GOT EMAIL
QUESTIONS.
SO, THIS FIRST QUESTION, THIS
IS FROM JEFF, THE QUESTION IS,
SECOND CORINTHIANS TALKS ABOUT
A THIRD HEAVEN, WHAT AND WHERE
EXACTLY IS THAT?
>> IN THE VIEW, IT IS A VIEW
THAT EXISTS TODAY, THE FIRST
HEAVEN IS OUR ATMOSPHERE, WHEN
YOU REACH THE EDGE OF OUR
ATMOSPHERE, YOU REACH OUT TO
SPACE, THAT IS THE SECOND
HEAVEN, THAT IS WHERE THE STARS
ARE, THIS IS ALL VISIBLE AND
INVISIBLE, WHETHER IT IS 2000
YEARS AGO OR TODAY, WITH LIGHT
POLLUTION, IT IS A LITTLE LESS
VISIBLE, YOU CAN'T SEE THE
MILKY WAY, IN PAUL'S DAY, THAT
IS WHAT HE IS TALKING ABOUT,
FIRST AS ATMOSPHERE, SECOND IS
SPACE, THIRD HEAVEN IS WHERE
GOD IS, THAT IS WHAT THIS
MEANS, PAUL SAYS, I WAS CAUGHT
UP INTO HEAVEN, I WAS CAUGHT UP
INTO THE PRESENCE OF THE LORD,
HE HAD MULTIPLE APPEARANCES
WHERE JESUS WOULD COME AND BE
WITH HIM, HE SAW INTO THAT, YOU
CAN SEE VARIOUS THINGS WHERE,
IN THE BOOK OF REVELATION, JOHN
HEARD A VOICE COME UP HERE, YOU
CAN SEE IT, I BELIEVE IT IS
EXODUS, WHERE THE 70 ELDERS
HAVE A VISITATION FROM GOD
ALMIGHTY, THEY LITERALLY SEE
HIM STANDING ON SOMETHING THAT
LOOKS LIKE SAPPHIRE, HE APPEARS
IN THE FORM OF A MAN, EXACTLY
WHERE IS THAT?
REALLY GOOD QUESTION.
WE DON'T EXACTLY KNOW, IT IS
ALMOST LIKE IT IS IN ANOTHER
DIMENSION, HERE IS A UNIQUE
KEY, JESUS SAYS THE KINGDOM OF
HEAVEN IS IN YOUR MIDST, SOME
TRANSLATIONS SAY IT IS WITHIN
YOU.
SO, YOU HAVE ACCESS TO IT
THROUGH PRAYER, I ENCOURAGE
PEOPLE, ASK FOR IT, ASK FOR
THAT REVELATION.
HERE IS A WORD FROM EPHESIANS,
PUT ON ALL OF GOD'S ARMOR SO
THAT YOU WILL BE ABLE TO STAND
FIRM AGAINST ALL STRATEGIES OF
THE DEVIL.
