Announcer: ON THIS SPECIAL EPISODE OF LIFE TODAY --

THERE HAVE BEEN TIMES ME AND MY BROTHER

HAVE GONE DAYS WITHOUT EATING.

ONE TIME IT WAS SO BAD IN MY VILLAGE

THAT MANY CHILDREN DIED BECAUSE THERE WAS NOTHING TO EAT.

James: LOVE COVERS...

LOVE COVERS PAIN... INDESCRIBABLE PAIN!

LOVE LIFTS PEOPLE UP OUT OF A PIT OF DESPAIR

AND HOPELESSNESS, AND IT WILL FOR YOU!

LISTEN TO THE HEART OF GOD AND ASK GOD,

"CAN I DO FOR SOMEONE ELSE

WHAT I SO OFTEN NEED SOMEONE TO DO FOR ME?"

Announcer: NEXT ON LIFE TODAY!

§

James: WELCOME TO LIFE TODAY.

I'M JAMES ROBISON.

BETTY AND I ARE REALLY EXCITED

ABOUT SHARING WITH YOU HOW

WHATEVER CHALLENGE,

WHATEVER MOUNTAIN,

WHATEVER VALLEY YOU MAY FACE

GOD IS GREATER --

BIGGER THAN ANY MOUNTAIN,

CAN LIFT US UP OUT OF ANY DITCH,

POINT OF DEFEAT,

DISEASE OR CHALLENGE.

WE SHARED, BETTY, MY CHALLENGE

WITH THE HIP REPLACEMENT SURGERY

AND THE STAPH INFECTION THAT

REALLY LED A TEAM OF DOCTORS

INTO A BATTLE FOR MY LIFE

FOR WHICH I'M GRATEFUL.

BETTY, NOT ONE OF THOSE DOCTORS,

NOT ONE NURSE,

AND I HAD 24-HOUR CONTINUAL CARE

FOR AN EXTENDED PERIOD OF TIME,

NO ONE EVER LEFT THEIR PLACE.

THEY WERE IN A GOOD FIGHT --

FIGHTING FOR A LIFE MOST OF THEM

DIDN'T KNOW -- SOME OF THEM

HAD HEARD OF A MINISTER

THAT WAS ON TELEVISION

BUT THEY DIDN'T KNOW ME,

BUT THEY LOVED ME

AND MY FAMILY PRAYED FOR ME.

WE TALKED TO YOU ABOUT

OUR DAUGHTER AND HER CHALLENGE

WITH CANCER.

NO ONE BAILED ON HER.

EVERYONE FOCUSED TO HELP HER

WIN THE FIGHT.

TWO OF THE GREATEST MINISTERS

AND PASTORS IN OUR AREA,

OUR CLOSE FRIENDS,

AND THEY'VE BEEN IN A BATTLE,

ANDY MCQUITTY, MATT CHANDLER,

TWO GREAT PASTORS JUST NORTH

OF HERE, ONE WITH A BRAIN TUMOR

AND CANCER, THE OTHER

WITH STAGE FOUR COLON CANCER.

WE WATCHED GOD MIRACULOUSLY

WORK IN THEIR LIVES.

EVERYONE THAT I MENTIONED,

GOD WILL WORK IN YOUR LIFE.

YOU'RE IMPORTANT TO GOD.

GOD, I PRAY FOR EVERY PERSON,

FOR EVERY COUPLE,

EVERY GRANDPARENT WHOSE

GRANDCHILD HAS A CHALLENGE

PHYSICALLY OR SPIRITUALLY,

FOR EVERY PARENT WHO HAS A CHILD

IN A BATTLE,

FOR EVERYONE WHO HAS A SPOUSE

IN A BATTLE, PERHAPS IT IS

THE RELATIONSHIP, I DON'T KNOW,

PERHAPS IT IS FINANCIAL

DIFFICULTIES OR CHALLENGES,

FOR EVERYONE WITH A CHILD,

A BROTHER, A SISTER, A SIBLING,

A FAMILY MEMBER,

THEY'RE IN TROUBLE.

GOD, LIFT THAT LOAD.

HELP THEM KNOW THEY'RE NOT

JUST A NUMBER,

NOT JUST AN OVERLOOKED,

FORGOTTEN, UNIMPORTANT PERSON

BUT SO VERY IMPORTANT TO YOU.

MEET THEIR NEEDS.

IN JESUS' NAME.

HAVE YOU EVER FELT --

LET ME ASK YOU THIS,

HAVE YOU EVER FELT LIKE

THE PSALMIST SAID, "I LOOKED

AROUND AND BEHELD,

AND NO ONE CARED FOR MY SOUL."

HAVE YOU EVER FELT LIKE

NO ONE CARES FOR ME?

IT'S LIKELY I DON'T KNOW YOU.

SOME OF YOU MIGHT SAY,

I WISH WE DID KNOW YOU,

WE FEEL LIKE WE DO.

WELL, I THINK I WOULD LIKE

TO KNOW YOU, AND I KNOW THAT

I WOULD CARE ABOUT

ANY CHALLENGE, ANY HEARTACHE,

ANY HURT, ANY FAMILY MEMBER,

I WOULD CARE -- YES, I WOULD!

SO MANY TIMES IN RESTAURANTS

OR PUBLIC PLACES I FIND MYSELF

PRAYING NOT ONLY FOR SOMEONE

BUT WITH THEM BECAUSE

THEY FEEL LIKE THEY CAN

TALK TO US BECAUSE WE CARE.

AND WE CARE BECAUSE WE KNOW

THE FATHER IN HEAVEN CARES AND

YOU'RE NOT JUST AN OVERLOOKED

UNIMPORTANT STATISTIC.

YOU'RE PRECIOUS TO THE LORD.

HE LOVES YOU!

I WANT YOU TO EXPERIENCE THE JOY

THAT I'VE EXPERIENCED

FOR SO MANY YEARS,

AND THAT'S THE ONE THAT CAN LIFT

PEOPLE'S HEAD SO THEY LOOK UP

FROM WHENCE COMETH THEIR HELP.

SO THEY REFOCUS THEIR ATTENTION.

THAT I CAN REACH OUT AND OFFER

A HAND OF LOVE AND CARE

AND LIFT PEOPLE UP,

POINTING THEM IN A NEW DIRECTION

AND OFTENTIMES, NOT WINNING THEM

TO CHRIST, WHICH IS

OF GREATEST IMPORTANCE

BUT LIFTING THEM UP OUT OF

A PIT OF HOPELESSNESS

AND GIVING THEM A FUTURE HOPE

BECAUSE GOD HAS WONDERFUL PLANS.

HERE'S THE THING I THINK

IS REALLY IMPORTANT FOR YOU

TO UNDERSTAND.

MOST OF THE TIME WE SEE GOD

EXPRESSED IN OTHERS.

WE CAN READ JOHN 3:16,

FOR GOD SO LOVED THE WORLD THAT

HE GAVE HIS ONLY BEGOTTEN SON

-- AND IT IS ABSOLUTE TRUTH --

THAT WHOSOEVER BELIEVES IN HIM

WILL NOT PERISH

BUT HAVE ETERNAL LIFE --

EVERLASTING LIFE.

THAT'S TRUTH!

BUT WHEN YOU SEE LOVE EXPRESSED

THERE IS NO GREATER POWER.

THE MISSIONARIES, THOSE WHO WORK

WITH THE SUFFERING,

SO OFTEN THEY JUST READ

ABOUT STATISTICAL REPORTS,

SO MANY STARVING, SO MANY DYING,

SO MANY MALNOURISHED.

AND AS LONG AS WE SEE PEOPLE

AS A NUMBER OR A STATISTIC,

IT IS KIND OF LIKE YOU,

JUST AN OBJECT TO BE OVERLOOKED.

NOT SO!

GOD DIRECTS HIS LOVE ON YOU,

TO YOU, AND HE WANTS TO EXPRESS

HIS LOVE THROUGH YOU.

LISTEN TO THE HEART

OF A MISSIONARY.

LISTEN TO THE HEART OF GOD

AND ASK GOD, "CAN I DO FOR

SOMEONE ELSE WHAT I SO OFTEN

NEED SOMEONE TO DO FOR ME?"

§

[Child crying]

Isak: WORKING HERE IN AFRICA

WE'RE CONSTANTLY CONFRONTED BY STATISTICS;

WE TRACK THESE STATISTICS.

I'VE GOT TO BE PERFECTLY HONEST, AFTER DOING THIS FOR 14 YEARS

I'M ACTUALLY A LITTLE SICK OF STATISTICS.

I'M TIRED OF HEARING ABOUT THE STATISTIC

THAT TELLS US A CHILD DIES EVERY SIX SECONDS.

I'M SICK OF PEOPLE TELLING ME

THAT THERE'S A LITERAL TSUNAMI OF CHILDREN

WHOSE LIVES GET STOLEN AWAY BY MALNUTRITION.

THEY HAVE FACES, THEY HAVE NAMES:

THE MATTHEWS, THE JAGOMBYS, THE ALBERTS.

WHEN I SEE THE DESPERATION IN A MOTHER'S EYES

AS SHE SITS ON A CONCRETE FLOOR LOOKING AT HER CHILD

LITERALLY DYING IN FRONT OF HER --

THAT'S WHAT'S BEING LOST EVERY SIX SECONDS IS A LIFE.

IT'S NOT A STATISTIC!

IT'S A LIFE!

James: YOU WON'T EITHER.

I WANT TO MAKE IT

AS CLEAR AS I CAN.

BETTY AND I WANT YOU TO KNOW,

WE DON'T DO LIFE TODAY

TELEVISION AND WE DON'T

TRAVEL ALL OVER THE WORLD

OR GO OUT AND MINISTER

OR JUST TRY TO LOVE PEOPLE

AROUND US BECAUSE IT IS A JOB...

IT'S A PRIVILEGE, AND IT IS

A PRIVILEGE TO TALK TO YOU.

WE COME INTO YOUR HOME

EVERY DAY.

I'VE SAID THIS OVER AND OVER

BUT IT IS NOT OF LITTLE

IMPORTANCE, RIGHT NOW

WE'RE TALKING ABOUT PEOPLE

STARVING TO DEATH.

BUT TODAY, WE WILL PRAY

FOR FIVE TIMES MORE PEOPLE,

80% OR MORE, OFTENTIMES 90%

OF THE CALLS THAT COME IN

EVEN WHEN WE'RE SAYING,

"HELP DO THIS" --

THIS DESPERATE SITUATION,

THE MAJORITY OF THE CALLS

ARE SOMEBODY, "PRAY FOR ME!"

WE DO!

WE'RE HERE EVERY DAY FOR YOU.

YES, WE'RE GOING TO GIVE

EVERYBODY THAT WATCHES

LIFE TODAY AN OPPORTUNITY

TO EXPRESS LIFE TODAY,

TO SHARE LIFE TODAY,

TO DO WHAT JESUS SAID TO HAVE

OUT OF YOUR INNERMOST BEING

A RIVER OF LIVING WATER

FLOWING FREELY.

BECAUSE SEE, BETTY, PEOPLE LIVE

JAMMED AND STUCK IN WHATEVER

PAIN OR CHALLENGE THEY HAVE

UNTIL THEY BEGIN TO LOOK BEYOND

THEIR NEED AND THEIR WORLD

AND SAY, "LET ME BE A LIGHT

IN SOMEBODY ELSE'S SITUATION."

THAT'S WHEN EVERYTHING

BEGINS TO FLOW FREELY.

SO WE COME TO HELP YOU,

BUT YOU'LL GET HELP,

EVEN GREATER HELP --

AS I'VE SAID MANY TIMES --

BASICALLY ISAIAH 58 TEACHES IT.

IF YOU WANT YOUR PRAYERS

ANSWERED QUICKLY,

BECOME AN ANSWER TO SOMEONE

ELSE'S PRAYER, MEET A NEED,

FEED THE HUNGRY,

TOUCH THE SUFFERING,

CARE FOR THE DYING,

MAKE A DIFFERENCE HERE ON EARTH

AND GOD MAKES A DIFFERENCE

IN YOUR LIFE;

JUST MAKING A DIFFERENCE MAKES

A DIFFERENCE IN US;

JUST LOVING OTHERS FILLS US

WITH GREATER LOVE AND

GREATER CAPACITY TO LOVE.

WE'RE ASKING YOU TO DO THAT.

THIS IS OUR

MISSION FEEDING EMPHASIS.

TWICE A YEAR, I THINK

MOST OF YOU ARE AWARE OF THIS,

TWICE A YEAR WE COME AND ASK YOU

TO HELP US FEED CHILDREN

FOR SEVERAL MONTHS

WHO ARE STARVING,

WHO ARE MALNOURISHED,

WHO ARE DESPERATE, AND THEN

WE SEE THE SITUATION

TOTALLY TURNED AROUND.

IT'S A MIRACLE.

Betty: JAMES, I WAS SITTING HERE

THINKING THE DESIRE

AS A CHRISTIAN IN MY HEART

IS FOR PEOPLE TO KNOW GOD.

BUT I WAS SITTING HERE THINKING,

HOW ARE THEY GOING TO HAVE

THAT OPPORTUNITY TO KNOW GOD?

-- THROUGH US SHOWING THEM

GOD CARES -- THROUGH US

SHOWING THEM GOD'S LOVE.

IT IS A DEMONSTRATION OF WHAT

GOD HAS DONE IN OUR LIVES AND

HOW HE HAS CHANGED OUR HEARTS.

WE CAN START THAT PROCESS

WITH THESE PRECIOUS CHILDREN

AND ALL THESE PEOPLE

THAT ARE STARVING.

WE MEET THEIR NEEDS

AND THROUGH THAT DEMONSTRATION

OF LOVE THEY SEE

THE LOVE OF GOD.

James: THERE IS NO QUESTION,

LOVE DEMONSTRATED IS

MORE POWERFUL THAN LOVE

PROCLAIMED OR DECLARED.

IT'S A LIVING ILLUSTRATION.

RIGHT NOW WE'RE ASKING YOU

TO HELP US FEED THREE, FIVE,

OR TEN CHILDREN FOR

THE NEXT SEVERAL MONTHS.

SOME OF YOU CAN HELP US

FEED 100 OR MORE.

YOU SAY, "WHAT DOES TO TAKE

TO FEED A CHILD

TO SAVE THEIR LIVES,

TO STABILIZE A SITUATION?"

FOR $30, FOR $50, OR FOR $100

WE CAN FEED THREE, FIVE,

OR TEN CHILDREN FOR

THE NEXT MONTHS EVERY DAY.

AND BY THE WAY, WE TAILOR IT

TO THE NEED.

THERE WILL BE SOME PLACES --

NOW THIS IS REALLY

A TRAGIC THING --

BUT SOME PLACES IN MALNUTRITION

CLINICS WHERE WE ACTUALLY

ESTABLISH THEM,

OFTENTIMES IN THE BUSH,

WE WILL HAVE TO FEED THEM

INTRAVENOUSLY; WE WILL HAVE

TO GIVE THEM SUGAR WATER.

WE'LL HAVE TO GIVE THEM

SOMETHING TO JUST BEGIN

THE TURN AROUND BECAUSE

THEY'RE SO WEAK

THEY CAN'T EVEN TAKE FOOD.

SO WE DO WHATEVER IT TAKES.

WHEN I SAY "WE,"

DO YOU UNDERSTAND THAT'S

A BIG ENCOMPASSING STATEMENT?

"WE" -- THAT'S YOU.

WE ARE VERY, VERY SMALL.

WE CAN ONLY DO OUR PART BUT

WE WILL AND WE WILL ALWAYS GIVE

-- WE LOVE TO GIVE!

BUT OUR PART ALSO IS

TO ENCOURAGE YOU TO DO YOUR PART

AND TO MAKE THE DIFFERENCE.

I WANT YOU TO LISTEN,

ALREADY MAKING UP YOUR MIND,

I'M GOING TO HELP YOU FEED

AS MANY CHILDREN AS I CAN.

WE'RE APPROACHING THE LAST DAYS

OF THIS EMPHASIS,

WHICH WE HAVE TWICE A YEAR

TO LITERALLY FEED HUNDREDS

OF THOUSANDS OF CHILDREN

BUT YOU'VE GOT TO SEE THEM

AS ONE CHILD.

YOU'VE GOT TO SEE

THEIR LITTLE WORLD AND SAY,

"I'LL SAVE THAT FAMILY" --

"I'LL SAVE THOSE CHILDREN."

LISTEN TO WHAT CHILDREN FACE

THROUGH THE WORDS

OF AN AFRICAN CHILD.

I HAVE ALWAYS KNOWN HUNGER.

IT WAS IN MY VILLAGE BEFORE I WAS BORN.

THERE HAVE BEEN TIMES ME AND MY BROTHER

WILL HAVE GONE DAYS WITHOUT EATING.

ONE TIME IT WAS SO BAD IN MY VILLAGE

THAT MANY CHILDREN DIED BECAUSE THERE WAS NOTHING TO EAT.

WHEN IT DOES NOT RAIN,

OUR CROPS DRY UP AND TURN TO DUST.

SOMETIMES WE CAN'T GROW OUR FOOD

BECAUSE OF SOLDIERS FIGHTING.

AT NIGHT THE PAIN OF HUNGER WILL NOT LET ME SLEEP.

I TRIED TO LISTEN IN SCHOOL BUT MY STOMACH IS EMPTY

AND MY HEAD FEELS VERY DIZZY.

I SOMETIMES THINK HUNGER IS JUST A BAD DREAM...

BUT IT NEVER GOES AWAY.

HUNGER DOESN'T CARE HOW YOUNG YOU ARE.

IT WILL FOLLOW YOU UNTIL YOU ARE IN YOUR GRAVE.

MY LITTLE BROTHER DIED

BECAUSE HE DIDN'T HAVE ENOUGH FOOD.

I HOPE I CAN EAT TOMORROW.

James: THAT VOICE IS THE VOICE

OF A LITTLE AFRICAN GIRL

THAT CAME HERE AND LEARNED

TO SPEAK ENGLISH.

AND SHE WAS TELLING THE STORY

THAT IS TYPICAL AND TRUE,

NOT JUST THOUSANDS...

MILLIONS!

BUT IF THAT'S ALL YOU SEE --

WE WON'T DO MUCH, WILL WE?

Betty: MY FIRST IMPRESSION

AND I'M SURE MANY OF YOU HAVE

THIS IMPRESSION AS YOU WERE

WATCHING, LISTENING TO

THE VOICE OF THAT CHILD,

ONE VOICE SPEAKING FOR MANY.

AND MY FIRST THOUGHT IS

I WANT TO GO OVER THERE.

I WANT TO HOLD THAT CHILD!

WE CAN'T ALL GO BUT WE CAN

IN OUR GIVING --

WE CAN IN OUR HELPING.

WE CAN BE THERE.

WE CAN POUR OUT LOVE THROUGH

HELPING TO MEET THEIR NEEDS.

THEY'RE STARVING.

THEY NEED HELP.

THEY NEED FOOD.

WON'T YOU HELP US?

James: YOU KNOW SOMETIMES

AND FOR SO MANY YEARS YOU TRY

TO BE A VOICE FOR THE SUFFERING

AND AN ADVOCATE, AND YET

WE SPEND MOST OF OUR TIME

TRYING TO MINISTER

TO BROKENHEARTED PEOPLE LIKE YOU

OR FRIENDS THAT YOU MAY KNOW

BECAUSE WE LOVE YOU.

AND WE'RE SO GLAD MANY OF YOU

ARE WATCHING "WEDNESDAYS

WITH BETH" OR LISTENING

TO OUR GUESTS OR SOMETHING

BETTY AND I ARE SHARING,

YOU FALL MORE IN LOVE WITH JESUS

AND YOUR LIFE'S CHANGED

AND THAT'S SO THRILLING.

BUT SOMETIMES WHEN YOU'VE SEEN

THE SUFFERING OF THE WORLD

AND YOU KNOW THAT LOVE

NEVER FAILS AND YOU KNOW

YOU CAN SAVE THEIR LIVES

AND YOU CAN GIVE THEM A CHANCE

AND YOU THINK, ARE PEOPLE

JUST TIRED OF HEARING US?

I THINK BETTY AND I HAVE

A BROKEN HEART FOR OUR COUNTRY,

WE HAVE A BROKEN HEART

FOR OUR NATION;

WE WANT GOD TO HEAL THE LAND

SO WE CAN CONTINUE TO BLESS

PEOPLE WHO SUFFER RIGHT HERE

IN OUR OWN MIDST.

WE'RE TRYING TO BLESS YOU

EVERY DAY BUT SOMETIMES

I REALLY WONDER,

DO YOU GET TIRED OF HEARING US

BE A VOICE FOR THE SUFFERING?

SOMETIMES I WONDER GOD,

DO PEOPLE JUST WISH WE WOULD

GO AWAY?

WELL, SEE THE PAIN

WON'T GO AWAY.

WE COULD GO OFF TELEVISION.

AS A MATTER OF FACT, LISTEN,

WE'VE DROPPED TELEVISION

STATIONS WHEN WE'VE BEEN

CHALLENGED FINANCIALLY,

WE'VE DROPPED MEDIA,

WHICH IS TERRIBLE BECAUSE

ULTIMATELY YOU LOSE PEOPLE WHO

WILL CONTINUE TO HELP OTHERS.

BUT WE'LL CUT BACK ANYWHERE

IN ORDER NOT TO EVER CUT BACK

IN MISSIONS.

I'VE SAID, "LORD, DO I JUST

KEEP COMING TO PEOPLE?

ARE THEY TIRED OF ME?"

BUT IN MY HEART I KEEP HAVING

THIS HOPE, SOME DAY I'M GOING

TO KNOCK ON THE DOOR,

NOT JUST HOMES,

THROUGH TELEVISION AND HEARTS

BUT I'M GOING TO BE RECEIVED

AND THE CONCERN AND BURDEN

THAT IS ON YOUR HEART

AND ON MINE, AND ON BETTY'S

AND ON THE MISSIONARIES,

EVERY VIEWER IS GOING

TO CATCH IT

AND ONE OF THESE DAYS,

EVERY PERSON IN AMERICA,

IN CANADA, IN THE U.K.,

IN AUSTRALIA, EVERY ONE OF YOU

WATCHING WILL SAY, "I'VE GOT IT!

I GOT IT!"

THEY WON'T HAVE TO GO

TO BED HUNGRY.

THEY WON'T HAVE TO WONDER

IF THEY'RE GOING TO HAVE FOOD

BECAUSE WE CAN DO IT!

"I'LL TAKE 100 KIDS -- I WILL!

I KNOW IT IS A STEP OF FAITH,

BUT I'LL DO IT."

I'M LONGING FOR THAT.

I'LL TAKE CARE OF TEN,

HERE'S MY $100 GIFT.

HERE'S MY $50.

HERE'S MY $30, I'VE GOT THREE;

I DON'T HAVE MUCH.

-- BUT IT IS BIG TO THOSE THREE.

I'M PRAYING --

I'M TALKING TO YOU.

BE AN ANSWER TO THAT HEART CRY,

THAT CHILD'S NEED,

THAT REALITY TO OUR PRAYERS

AND THE MISSIONARIES' PRAYERS --

BE AN ANSWER!

GOD SAID, "I'LL ANSWER

YOUR PRAYERS,

I'LL COME QUICKLY."
