IT MAY VERY WELL BE THE SALVATION OF AMERICAN CHRISTIANITY --

HOW WE DEAL WITH THIS ISSUE.

Announcer: NEXT, SAMUEL RODRIGUEZ,

THE PRESIDENT OF THE NATIONAL HISPANIC LEADERSHIP CONFERENCE.

THIS IS A CHRIST-CENTERED,

BIBLE-BASED, SPIRIT-EMPOWERED COMMUNITY.

THE HISPANIC COMMUNITY LOVES JESUS.

I BELIEVE WE'RE ABOUT TO SEE THE GREATEST MOVE OF GOD

AMERICA HAS EVER EXPERIENCED.

Announcer: THE VOICE FOR HISPANIC CHRISTIANITY IN AMERICA -- NEXT!

James: THANK YOU!

THANK ALL OF YOU.

IT IS REALLY A PRIVILEGE TO COME

AND SHARE THIS TIME WITH YOU.

I'M JAMES ROBISON.

MY WIFE BETTY AND I ARE THRILLED

TO HAVE SAMMY RODRIGUEZ WITH US.

I THINK MOST OF YOU KNOW,

THE BOOK, INDIVISIBLE

IS REALLY A CALL TO PRAYER

AND TO ACTION TO HELP RESTORE

FAITH, FAMILY AND FREEDOM

BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE.

IT'S NOT TOO LATE.

THIS IS A BOOK FILLED WITH HOPE.

ONE OF THE THINGS WE TALK ABOUT

IN INDIVISIBLE,

WHICH IS A MAJOR PROBLEM,

IS THE ISSUE OF IMMIGRATION AND

HOW WE'RE GOING TO DEAL WITH IT.

SAMMY, I WANT YOU TO KNOW

THAT I APPRECIATE YOU

AND YOUR LEADERSHIP,

AND YOU AND I HAVE HAD

SOME TREMENDOUS TIMES SEEKING

THE LORD WITH A LOT OF LEADERS.

MAY I ASK YOU THIS?

WHEN YOU CAME, EVEN HERE

AND WHEN YOU HEARD ABOUT

OTHER PRAYER MEETINGS

AND YOU SAW ALL THESE DIFFERENT

DENOMINATIONAL LEADERS

COMING TOGETHER, GROUPS THAT

HAD BEEN BASICALLY TAUGHT

TO AVOID ONE ANOTHER,

AND INCLUDING CATHOLICS

COMING WITH PROTESTANTS,

AND ALL OF US COMING TOGETHER

BEFORE THE LORD,

DID YOU FIND THE GATHERING

AND THE PRESENCE OF GOD THERE

TO BE RATHER --

LET'S SAY SURPRISED

THAT THEY WOULD COME TOGETHER

AND THAT THE MANIFESTATION

OF THE SPIRIT OF GOD

WOULD BE SO GREAT

ON SUCH A DIVERSE GROUP?

Samuel: THE SPIRIT

OF ACTS CHAPTER TWO

PERMEATED THE ROOM;

IT'S COMING TOGETHER

IN ONE ACCORD.

AND UNITY PRECEDES PENTECOST

AND A POWERFUL OUTPOURING

TO SPEAK THE LANGUAGE

OF THOSE AROUND US

TO SEE THE BODY OF CHRIST

COMING TOGETHER,

EVERY DENOMINATION,

EVERY SINGLE SEGMENT COALESCING

AROUND BIBLICAL TRUTH.

I THINK THAT WE STAND

AT THE PRECIPICE

OF THE GREATEST AWAKENING

WE HAVE EVER EXPERIENCED.

I'M NOT A PESSIMIST.

I BELIEVE WE'RE ABOUT TO SEE

THE GREATEST MOVE OF GOD

AMERICA HAS EVER EXPERIENCED.

James: AND THAT IS MY HOPE.

THE BOOK, INDIVISIBLE

IS A BOOK OF HOPE.

I THINK THE BIBLE

IS A BOOK OF HOPE.

I THINK CHRIST IN US

IS THE HOPE OF GLORY, HIS GLORY,

HIS MANIFEST PRESENCE

ON OUR LIVES IN THE HERE AND NOW

AND HE'S COMING FOR A CHURCH

THAT IS IN THAT GLORY.

I THINK A CHURCH LIVING IN GLORY

WILL MAKE A KINGDOM IMPRINT

ON THE CULTURE.

WE HAVE A VERY SERIOUS PROBLEM,

WOULD YOU AGREE,

WITH THE IMMIGRATION VIOLATIONS,

ALL OF THE ILLEGALS,

THE TENSION THAT PREVAILS

NOT ONLY IN CONGRESS

BUT THROUGHOUT THE LAND?

IT SEEMS TO ME, SAMMY,

THAT WE CAN'T EVEN HAVE

A NORMAL CONVERSATION TO ADDRESS

THE PLIGHT OF THE PEOPLE

WHO ARE SORT OF CAUGHT

IN THE TENSION OF THIS DIVISION,

DISSENSION, HOSTILITY

AND ANIMOSITY.

IT PERMEATES THE WHOLE COUNTRY

TO WHERE YOU THINK, CAN WE

EVEN ADDRESS THE SITUATION

IN A MEANINGFUL REALISTIC WAY?

Samuel: BUT THIS CONVERSATION

IS NOT A FUTILE CONVERSATION.

IT MAY VERY WELL BRING ABOUT --

NOW HEAR ME NOW

WITHOUT BEING PRESUMPTUOUS OR

CREATING SOME TYPE OF HYPERBOLE

AS IT PERTAINS TO RHETORIC,

IT MAY VERY WELL BE

THE SALVATION

OF AMERICAN CHRISTIANITY --

HOW WE DEAL WITH THIS ISSUE.

LET ME LAY IT OUT A BIT:

50 MILLION HISPANICS IN AMERICA

-- 50 MILLION HISPANICS.

OUT OF THE 50 MILLION HISPANICS,

65% TO 69% IDENTIFY THEMSELVES

AS ROMAN CATHOLIC,

20% TO 24%

BORN AGAIN OR EVANGELICAL.

OUT OF THE 69%,

LET'S SAY ROMAN CATHOLIC,

54% IDENTIFY THEMSELVES

AS CATHOLIC CHARISMATICS.

THE MAJORITY OF PROTESTANTS

ARE EVANGELICALS/CHARISMATIC.

IT IS THE ONLY ETHNICITY

IN AMERICA -- THE ONLY ETHNICITY

WHERE THE MAJORITY IDENTIFY

THEMSELVES AS SPIRIT-EMPOWERED.

THIS IS A CHRIST-CENTERED,

BIBLE-BASED,

SPIRIT EMPOWERED COMMUNITY.

THE HISPANIC COMMUNITY

LOVES JESUS.

IT IS

A CHRIST-CENTERED COMMUNITY.

SO IF WE WOULD HAVE

ANY IMMIGRANT GROUP COMING

TO AMERICA WOULD WE NOT PREFER

THOSE THAT FOLLOW THE VALUES

OF OUR FOUNDING FATHERS

AND ADHERE TO OUR

JUDEO-CHRISTIAN VALUE SYSTEM?

SO FIRST AND FOREMOST,

IT IS A PROPHETIC COMMUNITY.

NOW I UNDERSTAND THE ISSUE

OF ILLEGALITY; MANY CAME IN

WITHOUT PROPER DOCUMENTATION.

THEY CAME IN HERE ILLEGALLY.

BUT I BELIEVE,

FOR THE VERY PROPHETIC PURPOSE

OF THE COMMUNITY LIES

EMBEDDED IN THE TERM HISPANIC.

LET ME BREAK THIS DOWN FOR YOU.

TWO SYLLABLES,

FIRST: HIS -- CAPITAL H,

SECOND: PANIC.

[Laughter]

Samuel: IT'S THE PANIC PART

THAT EVERYONE HAS FOCUSED ON.

AND THAT'S THE PART

THAT EVERYONE COALESCES AROUND

BUT IT'S HIS PANIC.

THIS COMMUNITY IS NOT HERE

TO TEACH AMERICA SALSA,

MERENGUE, OR CHA CHA CHA.

THE COMMUNITY IS NOT HERE

TO INCREASE ANYONE'S

DIVIDEND PORTFOLIO

WHO HAS INVESTED WISELY

OR UNWISELY IN TACO BELL.

WE'RE NOT HERE TO PROMPT ANYONE

TO PRESS ONE FOR ENGLISH

OR TWO FOR SPANISH.

I BELIEVE WE ARE HERE

TO BRING PANIC

TO THE KINGDOM OF DARKNESS

IN THE SOVEREIGN NAME

OF JESUS CHRIST.

[Applause]

James: YOU KNOW,

I GREW UP WHERE I WAS 10% WHITE;

THERE WAS SOME BLACK

AND THEY WERE MOSTLY HISPANIC.

I JUST GREW UP --

I GREW UP POOR,

I GREW UP WITHOUT A FATHER

BUT I GREW UP LOOKING AT PEOPLE

AS HAVING VALUE AND POTENTIAL.

AND IT ALWAYS PUZZLED ME,

EVEN WHEN I DIDN'T KNOW CHRIST,

AND I WAS JUST A KID THAT

WANTED HOPE AND OPPORTUNITY,

AND I LOOKED OUT IN AMERICA

AND SAW POSSIBILITY.

I SAW THE SAME THING

EVERY HISPANIC

THAT CAME ACROSS THE RIVER

OR CAME FROM CENTRAL AMERICA AND

SOMEHOW GOT INTO OUR COUNTRY,

EVERY ONE OF THEM THAT CAME,

THEY SAW HOPE AND POSSIBILITIES.

RIGHT?

THAT'S HOW THEY WERE COMING.

IT'S WRONG

THAT THEY CAME ILLEGALLY.

IT'S WRONG THAT THEY DIDN'T

RESPECT OUR LAWS.

IT'S WRONG

THEY DIDN'T HONOR THE LAWS,

BUT AT THE SAME TIME

THE PEOPLE THAT NOT ONLY

ENABLED THEM TO COME,

NOT ONLY EMPLOYED THEM

WHEN THEY CAME,

BUT ENCOURAGED THEM,

THEY TOO WERE VIOLATING THE LAW.

WHY IS IT THAT WE PUT

THE WHOLE LOAD ON THE HISPANIC

WHO LOOKED FOR HOPE

AND CAME AND WE ENABLED

AND WE ALSO VIOLATED THE LAW?

HERE'S THE THING THAT I REALLY

BELIEVE IS CRITICALLY IMPORTANT.

I'M JUST LOOKING AT IT

AS SOMEONE WHO GOES

ALL OVER THE WORLD

TO "RESCUE THE PERISHING,

TO CARE FOR THE DYING,"

AS THE SONG SAYS;

TO REACH OUT AND TO LOOK

AT SUFFERING AND SAY,

"WE CAN ALLEVIATE THE SUFFERING

WITH LOVE AND COMPASSION."

WE HAPPEN TO HAVE

WATCHING ALL OVER THE WORLD,

I DON'T CARE

IF YOU'RE DOWN UNDER,

I DON'T CARE

IF YOU'RE IN THE U.K.

OR UP ABOVE US IN CANADA,

OR YOU'RE DOWN IN SOUTH AMERICA,

OR RIGHT HERE

IN THE UNITED STATES, THE PEOPLE

WATCHING THIS PROGRAM, THEY SAY,

"WE FEEL THE HEART OF GOD

FOR THE SUFFERING.

WE BELIEVE GOD IS A GOD OF LOVE.

WE BELIEVE IN CHARITY,

WHICH IS NOT FORCED GIVING,

TAKE AND DISTRIBUTE.

WE BELIEVE IN POURING LOVE

OUT ON PEOPLE."

THAT'S WHAT OUR VIEWERS DO.

OUR VIEWERS BELIEVE IN PRAYER.

NOW HERE'S THE DEAL,

I BELIEVE WHEN WE SEE A PROBLEM

LIKE WE HAVE RIGHT NOW,

WE NEED TO COME

TO THE TABLE OF REASON,

WE NEED TO LOOK AT THE PROBLEM

AND ADDRESS IT WITH THE WISDOM

THAT COMES FROM ABOVE,

WITH THE COMPASSIONATE FLOWS AND

COME TO SOME SOUND CONCLUSIONS

BECAUSE WE'RE NOT GOING

TO DEPORT ALL OF THE PEOPLE

THAT'S IN HERE BECAUSE

WE COULDN'T IDENTIFY THEM

IN THE FIRST PLACE.

Samuel: WE CAN'T AFFORD IT,

WE DON'T HAVE THE RESOURCES.

THE ANSWER TO THE

IMMIGRATION ISSUE

LIES EMBEDDED AT THE CROSS.

LET ME BREAK THIS DOWN FOR YOU.

THE CROSS IS BOTH VERTICAL

AND HORIZONTAL.

James: YOU MEAN IT DOESN'T LIE

IN CONGRESS?

Samuel: NO BECAUSE THE DONKEY

AND THE ELEPHANT HAVE FAILED.

I BELIEVE

THE CHRISTIAN COMMUNITY

SHOULD RISE UP AND INSTEAD OF

JUST BEING MARRIED TO THE AGENDA

OF THE DONKEY OR THE ELEPHANT;

WE SHOULD BE MARRIED EXCLUSIVELY

TO THE AGENDA OF THE LAMB.

THAT'S THE AGENDA --

THAT'S OUR AGENDA!

[Applause]

Samuel: JAMES AND BETTY,

I BELIEVE THAT IN

THE 21ST CENTURY,

THE NEXT GREAT MOVEMENT

WILL NOT BE OCCUPY WALL STREET

OR THE TEA PARTY,

IT WILL BE A CHRIST-CENTERED,

BIBLE-BASED RIGHTEOUSNESS

AND JUSTICE MOVEMENT

THAT WILL TRANSFORM THIS NATION.

BUT WITH THAT IT'S THE CROSS;

THE MORAL IMPERATIVE,

OUR CONSTITUTION --

WHAT DRIVES US TO DO WHAT WE DO

IS THE CROSS.

THE CROSS IS BOTH VERTICAL

AND HORIZONTAL; IT IS NOT

JUST VERTICAL OR HORIZONTAL,

IT'S BOTH VERTICAL

AND HORIZONTAL.

IT'S BOTH RIGHTEOUSNESS

AND JUSTICE.

IT IS BOTH SANCTIFICATION

AND SERVICE,

COVENANT AND COMMUNITY.

JOHN 3:16 AND MATTHEW 25,

IT'S ETHOS AND PATHOS,

IT'S BILLY GRAHAM

AND MARTIN LUTHER KING, JR.,

IT'S THE NEW JERUSALEM

AND DALLAS/FORT WORTH, TEXAS --

IT'S BOTH/AND;

AND FOR TOO LONG CHRISTIANS HAVE

EITHER FUNCTIONED VERTICALLY

OR SOME IN CERTAIN COMMUNITIES

ON HORIZONTAL ISSUES.

WE NEED TO SEE A CHURCH RISE UP

AND SAY, "THE CROSS IS BOTH

VERTICAL AND HORIZONTAL."

AND THE POINT OF CONVERGENCE,

THE NEXUS, THE CENTERPIECE,

THE STRONGEST POINT

IS WHERE THE VERTICAL

AND THE HORIZONTAL INTERSECT.

THAT'S WHERE ORTHODOXY

MEETS ORTHOPRAXY;

THAT'S WHERE THE FISHES

MEET THE BREAD,

THAT'S RIGHTEOUSNESS AND JUSTICE

-- THAT'S WHAT YOU DO

WITH THIS PROGRAM.

IMMIGRATION SOLUTION?

IT'S LEVITICUS 19 AND ROMANS 13;

IT'S TREAT THE STRANGER

AMONGST YOU AS ONE OF YOUR OWN

BECAUSE YOU WERE ONCE

AN IMMIGRANT IN EGYPT

WITH RESPECT THE RULE OF LAW.

I THINK THERE IS

A CHRISTIAN ANSWER

TO THE IMMIGRATION SOLUTION --

TO THIS IMMIGRATION CRISIS

IN AMERICA.

I PROPOSE THE FOLLOWING.

I PROPOSE WE LOOK AT THOSE

WHO ARE CURRENTLY HERE.

FIRST OF ALL, AS CHRISTIANS

WE SHOULD BE OPPOSED

TO ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION.

HOW ABOUT THAT?

James: ABSOLUTELY.

Samuel: WE ARE

A SOVEREIGN NATION.

THERE IS A DE FACTO

NARCO TRAFFICKING WAR

IN NORTHERN MEXICO.

THE VESTIGES

AND RAMIFICATIONS OF THAT WAR

ARE BEGINNING TO IMPACT

OUR SOUTHERN BORDER STATES.

WE NEED TO STOP

ALL ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION

ON MULTIPLE -- EVEN FROM

A HUMANITARIAN STANDPOINT.

MANY OF THE WOMEN THAT TRY

TO COME OVER HERE ILLEGALLY

END UP BEING RAPED, VIOLATED,

AT YOUNG AGES;

DOCUMENTATION: SEVEN, EIGHT,

NINE YEARS OF AGE --

THAT'S MORALLY REPREHENSIBLE!

SO WE NEED TO STOP ILLEGAL

IMMIGRATION NOT JUST TO PROTECT

THE SOVEREIGNTY OF OUR NATION

BUT EVEN TO PROTECT THOSE PEOPLE

THAT ARE TRYING TO COME OVER

AND ARE EXPLOITED

BY THESE COYOTES.

BUT IN STOPPING THE ILLEGAL --

BY THE WAY, WE COULD STOP IT

IF WE WANTED TO.

IF WE CAN READ THE LICENSE PLATE

OF A CAR IN FAISALABAD;

YOU'RE TELLING ME WE CAN'T STOP

25 MEXICANS WITH BACKPACKS

CROSSING THE RIO GRANDE...

THAT WE CAN'T IDENTIFY THEM?

YOU'VE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME!

James: I AGREE WITH YOU.

Samuel: OF COURSE, WE CAN!

THE REASON WE DON'T

IS BECAUSE WE DON'T WANT TO.

IT'S ALL ABOUT

RESOURCE ALLOCATION;

WE HAVE OTHER PRIORITIES.

WE NEED TO STOP

ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION --

THAT WE HAVE TO DO.

BUT THEN WE HAVE TO LOOK AT

THOSE THAT ARE CURRENTLY HERE.

LET'S DEPORT THE BAD GUYS.

LET'S IDENTIFY THOSE

THAT CAME HERE TO ENGAGE

IN NEFARIOUS ACTIVITY:

THE GANG BANGER,

THE DRUG TRAFFICKER.

THOSE THAT CAME

TO DO OUR COMMUNITIES HARM,

WE DON'T WANT THEM HERE.

LET'S DEPORT THEM IMMEDIATELY.

THEN LET'S LOOK AT THE 98.6.7

THE REST OF THE COMMUNITY.

THESE WONDERFUL,

WONDERFUL GOD-FEARING,

FAMILY-LOVING, FAITH-FILLED,

FREEDOM-LOVING INDIVIDUALS

CAME HERE TO GIVE THEIR CHILDREN

A BETTER DAY.

SOMEONE JUST REMINDED ME --

AS A MATTER OF FACT,

YOUR SON JUST REMINDED ME OF

THE ECONOMIC DISPARITY BETWEEN

THE UNITED STATES AND MEXICO IS

THE GREATEST DISPARITY BETWEEN

TWO NATIONS THAT SHARE A BORDER.

THE LEVEL OF POVERTY IN MEXICO

IS EGREGIOUS.

IF I WAS ON THE OTHER SIDE,

AND I'M ONE MILE AWAY FROM

MY DAUGHTER SUFFERING GREAT HARM

OR FROM FEEDING MY FAMILY,

I'M GOING TO BE HONEST WITH YOU,

THERE IS A GOOD POSSIBILITY

I MAY JUMP

THE RIO GRANDE LIKEWISE, JUST

FOR THE SAKE OF MY CHILDREN.

I'M JUST BEING TRANSPARENT

AND BEING REAL; WRITE ALL

THE HATE E-MAILS YOU WANT.

IF I CAN SAVE MY FAMILY

RIGHT THERE,

I'M NOT ADVOCATING IT,

BUT I WOULD GIVE THAT

A SECOND THOUGHT.

WE NEED TO DO SOMETHING BETTER.

WE NEED TO IDENTIFY THE FAMILIES

THAT HAVE COME HERE FOR THE

BETTERMENT OF THEIR COMMUNITIES

AND THEIR CORRESPONDING FAMILIES

AND LET'S INTEGRATE THEM.

LET'S PROVIDE A PATHWAY

TO INTEGRATION.

IF YOU'RE HERE

AND YOU'RE SELF-SUSTAINING,

YOU'RE NOT GOING TO DEPEND ON

WELFARE OR GOVERNMENT SUBSIDIES,

BUT YOU'RE ALREADY WORKING,

MANY OF THEM ALREADY PAY TAXES

AND CONTRIBUTE --

James: YOU'RE PROVIDING

A SERVICE.

Samuel: YOU'RE PROVIDING

A SERVICE... LET'S DO THIS,

LET'S LOOK AT THEM AND SAY,

"WE'RE NOT GOING TO GIVE YOU

AMNESTY, YOU'RE GOING TO GO

TO THE BACK OF THE LINE.

FIRST THING YOU'RE GOING TO DO

IS ADMIT GUILT; WE'RE GOING

TO MAKE YOU PAY A FINE.

ENGLISH IS THE LANGUAGE

OF OUR NATION;

YOU'RE GOING TO LEARN ENGLISH.

BY THE WAY, YOU'RE GOING TO

UNDERSTAND ONE OF THE VALUES

THAT MAKE US GREAT AS AMERICANS.

YOU'RE NOT GOING

TO CUT IN FRONT OF THOSE

THAT DID IT THE RIGHT WAY;

YOU'RE GOING TO GO

TO THE BACK OF THE LINE.

YOU GO THROUGH THAT PROCESS.

WE'RE GOING TO GET YOU A GUEST

WORKER PROGRAM SO YOU CAN

CONTINUE TO WORK HERE LEGALLY

BUT HERE'S A WAY."

IT MAY TAKE 5 TO 10 YEARS

BUT AT THE END OF THE DAY, WHEN

THEY EMBRACE THAT CITIZENSHIP

YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE SOMEONE

WHO SAYS, 'GOD BLESS AMERICA!'

James: LET ME INTERJECT

SOMETHING HERE THAT I REALLY

BELIEVE CAME TO ME IN PRAYER.

IN ORDER TO DO THIS, YOU'VE

GOT TO INVOLVE THE EMPLOYER,

THE PERSON THAT IS ENABLING.

IF THEY WERE GUILTY

OF GETTING DIFFERENT PAPERS,

FALSE PAPERS,

COME TO THE FOREFRONT.

IF THEY QUESTION OR WONDER

IF THE PERSON IS LEGAL,

GET INVOLVED.

IF THE INDIVIDUAL

HAS TO PAY SOME KIND OF FINE,

WHATEVER IS RIGHT, THE EMPLOYER

OUGHT TO STEP UP TO SAY,

"I SO VALUE

THIS HIGH QUALITY WORKER

WHO HAS PROVIDED A SERVICE,

WHO'S BEEN DEDICATED

AND FAITHFUL,

WHO OBVIOUSLY LOVES HIS FAMILY,

HE'S PROVED HE IS A GOOD WORKER

AND COULD POTENTIALLY

BE A GOOD CITIZEN.

HE GOES TO THE BACK OF THE LINE

BUT I ALSO WILL STEP UP

AND I WILL PAY THE FINE

AND I WILL DO IT.

CALL IT CHARITY, CALL IT LOVE,

CALL IT A PENALTY,

I DON'T CARE WHAT,

I WANT TO BE INVOLVED

BECAUSE I HAD SOMETHING TO DO

WITH FEEDING THIS PROBLEM

AND ENABLING THE PEOPLE

TO VIOLATE OUR LAWS

WHILE I VIOLATED THEM."

YOU KNOW WHAT THE BIBLE SAYS

ABOUT CONFESSING OUR SINS

AND BEING BLESSED?

ADMITTING WE DID WRONG.

WHY CAN'T AMERICANS

ADMIT WE FAILED,

WE HELPED FEED THE SYSTEM,

AND LET'S ALL COME TO THE TABLE

AND SOLVE THE PROBLEM?

BECAUSE GOD LOVES THESE PEOPLE

WHO COME HERE TO GET HELP.

I THINK YOU'VE GOT

TO INVOLVE THE PEOPLE

THAT'S BEEN PART

OF THE ENABLING PROCESS.

Samuel: ONE HUNDRED PERCENT

AGREED AND RIGHT NOW

THE BURDEN OF RESPONSIBILITY

IS FALLING EXCLUSIVELY

ON THE UNDOCUMENTED COMMUNITY.

IT HAS TO BE

SHARED RESPONSIBILITY.

AT THE END OF THE DAY,

I DO BELIEVE,

THAT'S A VIABLE SOLUTION.

I CALL IT A JUST

INTEGRATION SOLUTION

TO THE IMMIGRATION CRISIS.

THE PROBLEM IS

THE POLITICIANS ON CAPITOL HILL;

THEY DON'T WANT TO SEE THAT.

THEY'RE PLAYING

POLITICAL FOOTBALL.

THE DEMOCRATS BELIEVE THIS IS

A NATURAL VOTING CONSTITUENCY.

THE REPUBLICANS THINK THAT IF

A DEMOCRATIC PRESIDENT SIGNS

A LAW THAT PROVIDES THIS SORT

OF IMMIGRATION SOLUTION

THE COMMUNITY IS LOCKED IN

TO VOTE DEMOCRAT FOR YEARS.

SO BOTH POLITICAL PARTIES

ARE SUFFERING OF MYOPIA.

THEY DON'T UNDERSTAND.

James: THEY CARE MORE ABOUT

THE PARTY THAN THEY DO PEOPLE,

WHICH MEANS THEY'RE AS FAR

FROM THE HEART OF GOD

AS YOU CAN GET ON PLANET EARTH.

WE'VE GOT TO CARE

ABOUT THE PEOPLE.

IT DOESN'T MEAN

WE COMPROMISE LAW,

DON'T COMPROMISE OUR PRINCIPLES

BUT WE NEED TO LINE UP

AND FOCUS ON GETTING IT RIGHT,

WHICH MEANS BOTH PARTIES

HAVE GOT TO GET AT THE TABLE

OF REASON AND SIT DOWN

AND HAVE A CIVIL CONVERSATION

AND WORK THROUGH IT.

IT MEANS EVERYBODY

THAT KNOWS HOW TO PRAY

HAS GOT TO PRAY THEY'LL DO IT,

AND THOSE OF YOU WHO KNOW HOW

TO VOTE, WE'RE GOING TO INSIST

THAT WE GET IT CORRECTED.

Samuel: FORGET THE POLITICS,

MY NUMBER ONE MORAL DRIVE

THAT GUIDES ME, MY OPTICS,

THE CHURCH OF JESUS CHRIST,

THE WORK OF CHRIST.

WITH THAT BEING SAID,

WITHOUT THIS HISPANIC COMMUNITY,

IF WE WERE TO DEPORT, BY THE WAY

8 MILLION TO 10 MILLION PEOPLE,

MANY OF THE SOUTHERN BAPTIST,

ASSEMBLY OF GOD, CHURCH OF GOD,

FOUR SQUARE CHURCHES,

MANY OF THESE SPANISH CHURCHES

WOULD LOSE 30%, 40%, 50%

OF THEIR CONSTITUENTS,

THEY'RE HISPANIC CHURCHES.

THIS IS SIGNIFICANT.

IT WILL EGREGIOUSLY IMPACT

THE ADVANCEMENT OF THE GOSPEL

OF JESUS CHRIST IN AMERICA.

WE MAY VERY WELL BE

DEPORTING THE SALVATION

OF AMERICAN EVANGELICALISM.

James: WE MAY BE DEPORTING

THE PEOPLE WHO COULD HELP

BRING IN THE NECESSARY GREAT

AWAKENING THAT WILL RIGHT

OUR SHIP OF STATE.

Samuel: I AM CONVINCED --

I AM CONVINCED,

YOU CAN CALL ME PRESUMPTUOUS --

I DON'T HAVE

A MESSIANIC COMPLEX,

BUT I AM CONVINCED

THAT THIS AMERICAN CHRISTIAN --

HISPANIC AMERICAN

CHRISTIAN COMMUNITY

WILL USHER IN A NEW AWAKENING

IN THE 21ST CENTURY.

I BELIEVE

THE NEXT GREAT AWAKENING

WON'T HAVE NAMES AS EDWARDS OR

WHITFIELD OR SPURGEON OR MOODY

BUT IT WILL HAVE RIVERA

AND SANCHEZ AND PADILLA

AND MARTINEZ.

James: THAT'S ALL RIGHT WITH ME!

TO GOD BE THE GLORY!

I JUST WANT TO SEE AN AWAKENING.

Betty: I THINK WHAT I HEAR YOU

SAYING IS THAT AS CHRISTIANS,

WE'VE GOT TO QUIT BEING PASSIVE

AND SAYING, "OH,

THIS WILL ALL WORK OUT,"

AND LEAVE IT TO SOMEONE ELSE.

WE, AS CHRISTIANS,

NEED TO BECOME ACTIVE.

Samuel: I WAKE UP IN

THE MORNING, I DON'T SEE MYSELF

AS A HISPANIC PERSON.

I DON'T SEE --

I'M A FOURTH GENERATION AMERICAN

AND PROUD TO BE SO.

MY COUSIN DIED IN IRAQ.

MY UNCLE DIED

IN THE FIELDS OF KOREA.

SO I BLEED RED, WHITE, AND BLUE.

BUT THE FIRST, MY NUMBER ONE

DESCRIPTIVE MONIKER

WHEN I WAKE UP IN THE MORNING

IS NOT THAT I'M AN AMERICAN

OR HISPANIC OR BLACK,

BROWN, OR YELLOW,

I'M A BORN AGAIN CHILD OF GOD.

[Applause]

Samuel: THOSE ARE THE LENSES

THAT GUIDE MY DAILY LIVING.

I'M A FOLLOWER OF JESUS CHRIST

AND MY CHRISTIAN WORLDVIEW

DRIVES ME.

WE NEED TO WAKE UP

IN THE MORNING

AS CHRISTIANS AND SAY,

"WHAT AM I FIRST AND FOREMOST?"

I AM A CHRISTIAN

AND THOSE CHRISTIAN LENSES

SHOULD GUIDE US TO TREAT OTHERS

WITH RIGHTEOUSNESS

AND WITH COMPASSION.

WE NEED TO REACH OUT.

WE NEED TO BRING ABOUT

"THE SPIRIT OF RECONCILIATION"

AS THE APOSTLE PAUL WOULD SAY

AND ACTIVATE THE BALM OF GILEAD,

EVEN IN OUR DAY AND AGE.

WE NEED TO DO THIS.

OUR NATION IS GOING

TO HELL IN A HANDBASKET.

WE NEED EVERYONE ON BOARD

AND WE ARE ALIENATING

THE VERY COMMUNITY

THAT IS COMMITTED TO CHRIST,

TO FAITH AND FAMILY AND COUNTRY.

WE'RE ALIENATING THEM,

WE'RE CASTING THEM TO THE SIDE.

WE ARE THE SAMARITANS

IN THE 21ST CENTURY.

WE ARE THE SAMARITANS,

BUT IT WAS A SAMARITAN

WHO LOOKED AT THAT PERSON

LEFT BEHIND ON THE ROAD --

THAT GOOD SAMARITAN --

AND BROUGHT ABOUT RESTORATION

AND RENEWAL.

James: AMEN! AND WE'VE GOT

TO STOP TRYING TO THINK,

HOW CAN WE SOMEHOW RECRUIT THEM

INTO OUR DEMOCRATIC

OR REPUBLICAN PARTY

FOR OUR OWN PURPOSES?

AND SAY, "GOD,

HOW CAN WE BE A HEALING FACTOR

TO ALLOW YOU TO HEAL THE LAND?"

SAMMY -- DO YOU APPRECIATE

SAMMY RODRIGUEZ AND THE MESSAGE

THAT HE'S JUST DELIVERED US?

SAMMY, I WANT TO TALK TO YOU

ON ANOTHER PROGRAM THIS WEEK.

I WANT US TO TALK ABOUT WHAT IT

IS ABOUT THE HISPANIC COMMUNITY

THAT MAKES THEM UNIQUE

WHEN IT COMES TO GOD AND FAMILY,

WHEN IT COMES TO FAITH.

THE BOOK, INDIVISIBLE

TALKS ABOUT RESTORING FAITH,

FAMILY, AND FREEDOM

AND THE HISPANIC COMMUNITY

UNDERSTANDS FAITH AND FAMILY.

AND I BELIEVE THEY UNDERSTAND

FREEDOM AND THAT'S WHY THEY HAVE

THE LONGING TO BE HERE WHERE

THEY CAN GET THE BENEFITS

OF FREEDOM, NOT JUST BEING FREE

AS AN INDIVIDUAL BUT EVEN OUR

FREE MARKET ECONOMY WHERE WE'RE

ABLE TO BE PRODUCTIVE IN THE

FERTILE FIELDS OF OPPORTUNITY.

WE WANT TO TALK ABOUT THAT

A LITTLE MORE THIS WEEK.

SAMMY, ONE OF THE THINGS

WE'RE DOING RIGHT NOW

AND I KNOW YOU'RE FAMILIAR WITH

HOW WE TRY TO FEED THE HUNGRY

AND DRILL FRESHWATER WELLS,

SOME OF THE MOST BEAUTIFUL

PLACES WE HAVE DRILLED

THE WELLS THAT HAVE SEEN

THE GREATEST PRODUCTIVITY

IS IN CENTRAL AMERICA,

IN LATIN AMERICAN COUNTRIES.

IT'S A FANTASTIC THING.

BUT ALL OVER THE WORLD

WE DO THAT.

BUT HERE'S SOMETHING

WE'RE DOING RIGHT NOW.

THIS IS VERY TOUCHING.

YOU REFERENCED A WHILE AGO

HOW GIRLS ARE BROUGHT IN HERE

AND THEN THEY'RE RAPED.

SOME OF THEM ARE TAKEN

INTO SEX TRAFFICKING THEMSELVES;

IT HAPPENS ALL OF THE TIME.

HERE'S WHAT WE ARE DOING

RIGHT NOW AND WE'RE DOING IT

BECAUSE OF YOU.

NOT ONLY BECAUSE

THE MISSIONARY WORKERS

WHO HAVE FOUND THE PROBLEM AND

HAVE FOUND THE SOLUTION,

WELL, YOU'RE THE ENABLERS

FOR THE MISSIONARIES.

YOU MAKE IT POSSIBLE FOR THEM

AS I'VE SAID MANY TIMES, TO GO

WHERE THEY'RE NOT EMPTY-HANDED

BECAUSE ALL OF THEM

HAVE A FULL HEART;

IT'S JUST THAT THEY DON'T HAVE

THE ABILITY TO DO ANYTHING

UNLESS YOU BECOME THE ENABLER.

AND YOU'VE GOT

THE LOVE OF GOD IN YOUR HEART,

THAT'S WHY YOU'RE CONCERNED

ABOUT WHAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT.

I WANT YOU TO WATCH THIS.

I WANT YOU TO LISTEN

WITH YOUR HEART,

AND THEN YOU BECOME THE ANSWER

TO THIS NEED BECAUSE

YOU REALLY ARE THE ANSWER.

DON'T TURN AWAY

WHEN YOU ARE THE ANSWER.

YOU ARE THE GOOD SAMARITAN

IN THIS SITUATION.

WATCH.

SARU, A MOTHER OF FOUR DAUGHTERS

HAS EXPERIENCED THE UNIMAGINABLE,

HAVING A CHILD KIDNAPPED AND TRAPPED

BY A SEX SLAVE TRADER.

GITA, HER OLDEST DAUGHTER WAS TAKEN FROM HER HOME

BY A HUMAN TRAFFICKER,

DRUGGED...

TORTURED...

RAPED...

AND FORCED INTO SEX SLAVERY AGAINST HER WILL.

BUT BY THE GRACE OF GOD

SHE EVENTUALLY ESCAPED DURING A POLICE RAID

AND WAS ABLE TO MAKE HER WAY BACK HOME.

THE HORROR OF WHAT HAPPENED TO GITA

WEIGHS ON SARU'S MIND CONSTANTLY.

WHEN WILL THEY COME AGAIN?

WHO WILL BE THE NEXT CHILD

I LOSE TO THESE MONSTERS?

THE ONLY BRIGHT SPOT LEFT IN SARU'S LIFE

ARE HER CHILDREN AND GRANDCHILDREN.

AND OUT OF THE DESPERATION

SARU HAS ASKED A MOST COURAGEOUS QUESTION,

"WILL YOU PLEASE TAKE MY CHILDREN AND GRANDCHILDREN

AND PUT THEM IN A SAFE PLACE?"

James: BOY,

THAT'S JUST HARD TO IMAGINE.

"WILL YOU TAKE MY CHILDREN?

...AND MY GRANDCHILDREN?"

NOW WAIT A MINUTE,

WILL YOU TAKE MY CHILDREN?

...SO THAT

THEY'RE NOT VULNERABLE?

...SO THAT THEY'RE NOT

TRAFFICKED AND USED?

SUFFER THE LITTLE ONES

WHO COME UNTO ME

AND FORBID THEM NOT -- JESUS.

WOULD YOU PLEASE

PROVIDE THE LOVING ARMS,

THE HELPING HANDS,

THE HOME TO BE AN ANSWER

TO THAT VERY SINCERE REQUEST?

WITH YOUR HELP WE'RE GOING

TO BUILD A LIFE CENTER IN NEPAL;

AN IMPOVERISHED AREA

WHERE CHILDREN ARE TAKEN AND

LITERALLY MADE TO BE SEX SLAVES.

WE WANT TO BUILD

A BEAUTIFUL LIFE CENTER.

THE MISSIONARIES HAVE CONFIRMED

AND WE KNOW IT'S SO,

AN AVERAGE OF $128

TO RESCUE A CHILD OR A WOMAN

FROM THE SEX TRADE.

WOULD YOU MAKE THAT GIFT TODAY?

WOULD YOU GO TO THE PHONE,

TAKE YOUR BANKCARD

AND MAKE THAT GIFT KNOWING

THAT IT'S GOING TO BE DOUBLED?

YOU HELP RESCUE ONE --

YOU MAKE A GIFT OF $128,

THINK ABOUT IT,

AND YOU'VE GOT TWO.

AND THIS IS THE LAST WEEK FOR

RESCUE LIFE IN THIS EMPHASIS.

WOULD YOU HELP?

THE LIFE CENTER,

I'M ASKING YOU VERY DIRECTLY

TO MAKE GIFTS OF $1,000 OR MORE;

WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO HAVE

A QUARTER OF A MILLION DOLLARS.

WHAT THAT WOULD DO HERE

IN THE STATES,

YOU COULD PROBABLY MULTIPLY THAT

BY FOUR OR FIVE TIMES

IN ITS EFFECT BECAUSE

THE LABOR IS LESS AND

THE NECESSARY BUILDING MATERIALS

ARE LESS EXPENSIVE.

BUT IT IS A BIG CHALLENGE.

WOULD YOU MAKE A GIFT

TO HELP US BUILD THAT CENTER

DURING THIS LAST WEEK?

FATHER, I PRAY EVERYONE WATCHING

WILL BE AN ANSWER

TO THAT REQUEST,

"TAKE MY CHILDREN...

TAKE MY GRANDCHILDREN."

JESUS, WE RECEIVE THEM.

WOULD YOU ENABLE

THE MISSION WORKERS?

WOULD YOU ENABLE US TO BUILD

THAT LIFE CENTER IN NEPAL?

-- TO RESCUE

AS MANY AS POSSIBLE?

WE WANT TO SEND YOU

BEAUTIFUL GIFTS

TO SAY THANK YOU.

GISELLE HAS PUT WOMEN TO WORK

WHO WERE TRAFFICKED

MAKING BEAUTIFUL NECKLACES

AND LEARNING OTHER TRADES.

WE'LL SEND YOU

ONE OF THE NECKLACES

TO SAY THANK YOU

IF YOU HELP US RESCUE ONE.

WE'RE SENDING INDIVISIBLE

TO FOCUS YOUR PRAYERS

AND LITERALLY TO GIVE YOU

AS ONE PERSON

WHO INTERVIEWED US SAID,

"THIS IS BODY ARMOR

TO WIN THE BATTLE WE'RE IN."

-- LITERALLY FOR THE SOUL

AND FUTURE OF OUR NATION.

WE'LL SEND THAT TO YOU

TO SAY THANK YOU.

"THE LION AND THE LAMB" BRONZE

TO SAY THANK YOU FOR HELPING US

BUILD THE LIFE CENTER.

WOULD YOU GO TO THE PHONE

OR GO ONLINE, LifeToday.org,

MAKE THE GIFT

GOD PUT ON YOUR HEART?

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR DOING IT!
