Announcer: NEXT, AFTER HAVING AN ABORTION,

CAROL OPENED HER FIRST ABORTION CLINIC

IN DALLAS IN THE 1970S.

HER SOLE MOTIVATION WAS MONEY.

LIKE A SIMPLE MATH TELLING ME 40,000 ABORTIONS A YEAR

WOULD MAKE ME A MILLIONAIRE.

Announcer: AN ENCOUNTER WITH GOD CHANGED HER LIFE.

WHEN I GOT BACK TO THAT ABORTION CLINIC,

SOMETHING HAD HAPPENED.

THOSE GIRLS WERE CRYING.

THEY WEREN'T EXCITED ABOUT BEING THERE.

MY EYES WERE OPENED AND I HAD NEVER SEEN ALL THAT PAIN BEFORE.

Betty: WELCOME TO LIFE TODAY.

THANK YOU SO MUCH

FOR JOINING US.

I'M BETTY ROBISON

AND THIS IS JAMES.

James: YOU CERTAINLY

LOOK BEAUTIFUL.

NOW WHAT COLOR DO YOU CALL THIS?

IT'S KIND OF A SHOCKING PINK

OR IS IT RED? WHAT IS IT?

Betty: SHOCKING PINK.

James: IT IS SHOCKING.

I JUST THINK

YOU LOOK SO BEAUTIFUL.

I THINK YOU'VE HEARD ME SAY

A FEW WEEKS AGO,

BUT BETTY AND I HAVE BEEN

MARRIED NOW 49 YEARS SO

WE'RE HEADED TOWARD THAT 50TH,

WHICH HAS GOT TO BE

SOME KIND OF SPECIAL MILESTONE.

IT WILL TAKE PLACE NEXT YEAR.

SO PRAY SHE'LL STAY WITH ME

AT LEAST UNTIL 50.

Y'ALL PRAY THAT.

Betty: I'M GOING TO MAKE

THE 50TH ONE!

James: I REALLY BELIEVE

OUR GUEST THAT WE HAVE TODAY

IS A REAL ANSWER TO PRAYER.

I THINK MANY OF YOU HAVE BEEN

PRAYING ABOUT THE NEED TO

UNDERSTAND HOW PRECIOUS LIFE IS.

AFTER ALL, HERE ON LIFE TODAY,

YOU SEE US REACHING OUT

TO PEOPLE ALL OVER THE WORLD

WHO ARE IN DESPERATE NEED

AND TRYING TO RESCUE THEM

OR GIVE THEM LIFE

OR SAVE THEIR LIFE,

AS WELL AS SHARE WITH THEM

THE LOVE OF GOD.

WE'VE GOT A REAL SERIOUS PROBLEM

HERE IN THE UNITED STATES

THAT I THINK HAS CONTRIBUTED

TO MANY OF THE PROBLEMS WE FACE,

EVEN THE ECONOMIC PROBLEMS

BECAUSE I THINK WE'VE MADE

SOME ERRORS IN OUR JUDGMENT.

I THINK WE'VE MADE

SOME VERY BAD DECISIONS.

YOU CAN READ IN ISAIAH

WHY PRAYERS ARE NOT ANSWERED

AND WHAT HAS SEPARATED

BETWEEN US AND OUR GOD IS

OUR SIN, AND LISTED IN THAT IS

THE SHEDDING OF INNOCENT BLOOD.

YOU HAVE TO ASK THE QUESTION,

WHAT COULD BE MORE INNOCENT

THAN A LITTLE UNBORN CHILD

IN THE WOMB?

-- WHICH SHOULD BE

IN THE SAFEST PLACE!

OUR GUEST, CAROL EVERETT

MADE THE MISTAKE, SHE SAYS,

OF BEING PERSUADED

TO HAVE AN ABORTION,

WHICH THEN LED TO SOME OTHER

BAD DECISIONS, WHICH THEN LED

TO THE DECISION TO GET INTO

THE ABORTION INDUSTRY TO MAKE

A TREMENDOUS AMOUNT OF MONEY.

AND HER STORY IS QUITE SHOCKING.

AS A MATTER OF FACT,

IT IS TOLD IN THIS DVD

I WISH EVERY CHURCH WOULD GET.

IT'S CALLED THE GIFT OF LIFE.

GOVERNOR HUCKABEE NARRATES IT.

MY TESTIMONY IS IN

THE CENTER OF THE STORY.

THEY'RE HOPING

TO GET THIS IN ALL THE HBO

AND THE MOVIE CHANNELS

AND I HOPE THEY CAN.

BUT THE CHURCH -- AND YOU CAN

SHOW IT TO YOUR STUDY GROUP.

BUT I REALLY WOULD ENCOURAGE YOU

TO GET A COPY OF IT AND WE'LL

MAKE THAT AVAILABLE TO YOU.

I WANT YOU TO WELCOME

CAROL EVERETT, IF YOU WOULD,

TO LIFE TODAY.

CAROL, GLAD TO SEE YOU.

Carol: THANK YOU.

James: I WANT YOU TO TELL

OUR VIEWERS ABOUT YOUR JOURNEY,

BECAUSE YOU DID...

AS YOU SAY NOW,

YOU MADE THE MISTAKE,

FOR WHATEVER REASONS,

TO HAVE AN ABORTION AND THAT

LED TO OTHER BAD DECISIONS.

TAKE US ON THAT JOURNEY;

WOULD YOU PLEASE?

Carol: I WAS MARRIED

FOR THE SECOND TIME

AND THERE WAS AN AGREEMENT

BEFORE WE WERE MARRIED THAT

THERE WOULD BE NO MORE CHILDREN.

SO WHEN I FOUND MYSELF PREGNANT,

MY CHOICE WAS

MY HUSBAND OR MY BABY,

AND I MADE THE WRONG CHOICE.

I CHOSE MY HUSBAND.

AND THE MOMENT I AWOKE FROM

THAT ABORTION DECISION,

MY VERY FIRST THOUGHT WAS,

I'M A MURDERER;

I'VE KILLED MY BABY.

NONE OF US EXPECT

TO BE MURDERERS,

NONE OF US EVER EXPECT

TO KILL ANYTHING,

YET I KNEW IN MY HEART

I HAD KILLED THIS INNOCENT BABY,

SOMETHING THAT MY BODY WAS

ACTUALLY SUPPOSED TO PROTECT.

EVERYONE I TOLD

AND I DIDN'T TELL --

YOU CAN'T TELL YOUR MOTHER

OR YOUR BEST FRIEND

YOU JUST KILLED YOUR BABY.

I TOLD MY HUSBAND.

HE SAID WE MADE

THE BEST CHOICE WE COULD.

WE NEEDED TO GO ON

WITH OUR LIVES.

I VENTURED TO TELL A COUPLE OF

OTHER PEOPLE AND THEY TOLD ME

IT WAS MY RIGHT TO CHOOSE.

SO I THOUGHT I WAS ABNORMAL;

THERE WAS SOMETHING

WRONG WITH ME.

SO I STUFFED THOSE FEELINGS

AND TRIED TO CHANGE

EVERYTHING IN MY LIFE.

MY MARRIAGE FELL APART, AS 75%

OF RELATIONSHIPS THAT CONCEIVE

A BABY THAT IS ABORTED DO, AND

I FOUND SOMETHING THAT WORKED.

EVERY TIME I SOLD

ANOTHER WOMAN AN ABORTION

IN SOME VERY SICK TWISTED WAY,

IF SHE WAS OKAY,

JUST PERHAPS I WAS OKAY.

I STARTED SELLING ABORTIONS

ON A DAILY BASIS.

I WENT TO WORK FOR A MAN THAT

OWNED FOUR ABORTION CLINICS.

I MANAGED TWO OF THEM FOR HIM.

I MORE THAN DOUBLED HIS NUMBERS

IN THE ONE IN DALLAS

AND FORT WORTH

BUT HE WOULDN'T SHARE

THAT MONEY WITH ME

SO I TOOK HIS BEST ABORTIONIST,

THAT I HAD RECRUITED ANYWAY,

AND WE STARTED OUR OWN CLINIC

DOWN NEAR MOCKINGBIRD,

ON MOCKINGBIRD

NEAR LOVE FIELD IN DALLAS.

AT FIRST, IT WAS AGAIN,

VERY MUCH HELPING WOMEN

TO SOME DEGREE BUT MY COMMISSION

WAS $25 FOR EACH ABORTION.

MY GOAL BECAME

TO BECOME A MILLIONAIRE

BECAUSE SIMPLE MATH TOLD ME

THAT 40,000 ABORTIONS A YEAR

WOULD MAKE ME A MILLIONAIRE.

SO I WENT ABOUT

CREATING A MARKET

TO SELL 40,000 ABORTIONS A YEAR.

WE HAD ONE CLINIC OPEN.

WE OPENED A SECOND ONE;

THEY PAY FOR THEMSELVES

THE FIRST MONTH.

OUR GOAL WAS TO HAVE

FIVE SURROUNDING THE AREA.

SO I WAS OUT IN SCHOOLS

AND IN OTHER PLACES DOING

EVERYTHING I COULD TO CREATE

THAT MARKET BECAUSE OUR GOAL

WAS THREE TO FIVE ABORTIONS

FROM EVERY GIRL

BETWEEN THE AGES OF 13 AND 18.

I'M SORRY TO TELL YOU I HELD

THE HAND OF ONE YOUNG WOMAN

WHILE SHE HAD

HER NINTH ABORTION.

THERE IS OVER A 40% REPEAT RATE

OF ABORTIONS TODAY IN THIS

NATION AND IN THIS STATE.

ABORTION IS A METHOD

OF BIRTH CONTROL.

SO YOU FIND THAT GIRL,

AS EARLY AS POSSIBLE.

YOU CONVINCE THEM HER PARENTS

REALLY DON'T KNOW ANYTHING

ABOUT WHAT'S GOOD FOR HER.

YOU BREAK DOWN

THE NATURAL MODESTY;

GET HER TO LAUGH AT HER PARENTS

AND THEIR VALUES.

IF SHE LAUGHS WITH YOU

ABOUT THEM, SHE WILL NOT GO HOME

AND TELL THEM.

THEN YOU GIVE HER LOW DOSE

BIRTH CONTROL PILLS YOU KNOW SHE

WILL NOT TAKE ACCURATELY, AND

IF THEY'RE NOT TAKEN ACCURATELY,

SHE WILL BECOME PREGNANT.

OR YOU PASS OUT DEFECTIVE

OR SECOND CONDOMS;

REMEMBER THE PEOPLE

THAT PASS OUT THOSE CONDOMS

DON'T BUY THE BEST QUALITY,

THEY BUY SECONDS OR DEFECTIVE,

AND YOU DO EVERYTHING YOU CAN

TO MAKE CERTAIN THAT

YOU'RE GETTING

THAT THREE TO FIVE ABORTIONS

OUT OF EVERY GIRL.

James: WHAT DO YOU THINK

PLANNED PARENTHOOD

REPRESENTATIVES WOULD SAY

TO THE THINGS YOU JUST SAID?

Carol: THEY WOULD JUST SAY

THAT I'M ABSOLUTELY CRAZY

AND THAT THESE CHILDREN

ARE GOING TO HAVE SEX

SO THEY NEED TO BE TAUGHT

HOW TO HAVE SAFE FIRST SEX.

WHEN YOU HEAR SOMEONE SAY THAT

NOW YOU CAN JUST SAY BALONEY.

WE DON'T TAKE KIDS OUT AND

GET THEM REALLY GOOD AND DRUNK

AND TRY TO TEACH THEM

HOW TO DRIVE SAFELY DRUNK.

WE GIVE THEM A MORAL ABSOLUTE.

DON'T DRINK AND DRIVE.

WHY WOULD WE GIVE THIS CHILD

A LOW MORAL STANDARD

TO LIVE DOWN TO RATHER

THAN THE VERY HIGHEST

AND BEST, GOD'S PLAN,

ABSTINENCE UNTIL MARRIAGE,

WHICH WORKS EVERY TIME?

[Applause]

James: WHAT CHANGED YOU?

YOU SET UP TO BE --

YOU RAN THE NUMBERS,

"I CAN BE A MILLIONAIRE,

I CAN MAKE SO MUCH MONEY

A YEAR."

YOU SAID YOU WENT INTO SCHOOLS

AND ACTUALLY TALKED TO GIRLS

IN A WAY RECOMMENDING ABORTION,

WHICH IS I GUESS YOU WERE

THINKING IT'S LIBERATING

TO THEM TO THINK, WELL,

WE CAN DO WHAT WE WANT TO DO,

AND IF WE DO GET PREGNANT THEN

WE KNOW WHAT WE'RE GOING TO DO,

WHICH IS SAYING TO THE BOY,

YOU'RE SAFE TOO.

AND TO THE GIRL, GO AHEAD.

SO YOU WERE ACTUALLY

FEEDING THE WHOLE MECHANISM

OF PREGNANCIES.

AND THEN YOU'RE SAYING

THAT YOU PASSED OUT

EVEN DEFECTIVE PRODUCTS.

NOW IF I UNDERSTAND YOUR STORY,

YOU ACTUALLY KNEW OF CLINICS

AND PERHAPS YOURS WHERE

YOU ACTUALLY CHARGED FOR

AND PERFORMED ABORTIONS ON GIRLS

THAT WERE NOT PREGNANT

AND YOU KNEW THEY WEREN'T.

Carol: THAT WAS ACTUALLY

PART OF THE ANSWER TO MY PRAYER

AND PART OF THE REASON

I'M HERE TODAY.

WE KNEW WE WERE DOING ABORTIONS

ON WOMEN THAT WEREN'T PREGNANT.

I DIDN'T TAKE RESPONSIBILITY

FOR THAT; I SAID

IT WAS THE DOCTOR'S FAULT.

HE KNEW WHAT WAS HAPPENING

AND IT WAS HIS.

BUT I KNEW IT WAS HAPPENING

SO I HAD A RESPONSIBILITY.

ONE OUT OF EVERY 500

OF THOSE WOMEN WERE HAVING

A HYSTERECTOMY, COLOSTOMY,

MAJOR LIFE-CHANGING SURGERY.

ONE WOMAN DIED.

WE GOT HER OUT OF THE CLINIC

BEFORE SHE DIED

SO WE COULD ALWAYS SAY

WE NEVER HAD A DEATH THERE.

I WANT YOU TO KNOW

I WAS STRUGGLING.

I WAS STRUGGLING

WITH WHAT WAS HAPPENING.

I WAS TELLING MYSELF

I WAS HELPING WOMEN, YET I WAS

PUTTING A WOMAN IN MY CAR

AND TAKING HER ACROSS TOWN

BECAUSE AN AMBULANCE

IS TERRIBLE ADVERTISEMENT

IN FRONT OF AN ABORTION CLINIC.

I WAS TAKING HER ACROSS TOWN

TO A HOSPITAL THAT WOULD

PROTECT US AND THE DOCTOR.

WE WERE REALLY TRYING TO SOLVE

OUR PROBLEMS SO WE COULD EXPAND,

AND WITH THAT IN MIND

WE CALLED IN A MAN

WHO WAS INTRODUCED TO US

AS A BUSINESS COUNSELOR.

HE SAID HE COULD SOLVE

OUR INTERNAL PROBLEMS

BY MEETING WITH US

AN HOUR A WEEK FOR FOUR WEEKS.

I SAID, "OH, GREAT!

ISN'T THAT WONDERFUL!

I'LL BE A MILLIONAIRE NEXT YEAR.

I DON'T CARE

HOW MUCH YOU CHARGE US."

BUT HE WAS A STRANGE MAN.

HE WOULDN'T TALK ABOUT MONEY.

HE DIDN'T DO DRUGS,

DIDN'T RUN AROUND ON HIS WIFE,

AND HE DIDN'T DRINK.

I DIDN'T UNDERSTAND THIS MAN.

THE SECOND TIME I MET WITH HIM,

I DON'T KNOW WHY TO THIS DAY

BUT I FINALLY LOOKED AT HIM

IN THE EYE AND SAID,

"ARE YOU A PREACHER?"

HE SAID, "YES."

I SAID, "WHAT IN THE WORLD

ARE YOU DOING HERE?"

HE SAID, "GOD SENT ME."

I THOUGHT THAT MAN WAS CRAZY.

[Laughter]

I TOLD HIM QUICKLY I HAD A BIBLE

IN MY TOP RIGHT HAND DRAWER

OF MY DESK.

I WANTED HIM TO KNOW

I PRAYED EVERY DAY.

I DIDN'T TELL HIM --

I WASN'T COMPLETELY HONEST --

I DIDN'T TELL HIM I PRAYED

NONE OF THOSE WOMEN WOULD DIE,

AND I PRAYED THERE WOULD BE

A LOT OF ABORTIONS TODAY

BUT I TOLD HIM I PRAYED.

BUT WHEN I TOLD THAT MAN

THAT I TITHED ON ALL THAT MONEY,

HE WAS NOT REMOTELY IMPRESSED;

I HAD A SICK FEELING

IN THE PIT OF MY STOMACH

I WAS IN TROUBLE.

HE SAID, "CAROL,

MY DEACONS AND I HAVE BEEN

PRAYING FOR SOME TIME.

WE BELIEVE THERE IS SOMEONE

INSIDE THIS ABORTION CLINIC

THAT GOD WANTS OUT."

HE SAID, "WE ARE GOING

TO BE LEAVING IN 30 DAYS."

AND QUITE HONESTLY, I PICKED OUT

THE PERSON I WANTED HIM TO TAKE

WITH HIM WHEN HE LEFT.

BUT HE DIDN'T STOP THERE.

HE SAID, "CAROL, GOD LOVES YOU.

HE KNOWS YOU CAN'T BE

GOOD ENOUGH,

YOU CAN'T WORK HARD ENOUGH,

YOU CAN'T BUY YOUR WAY

TO HEAVEN.

BUT BECAUSE HE LOVES YOU SO MUCH

HE MADE A WAY OF ESCAPE FOR YOU

BY SENDING JESUS CHRIST, HIS SON

TO WALK THE FACE OF THE EARTH,

TO LIVE THAT SIN FREE LIFE AND

TO DIE ON THE CROSS AS A PERFECT

SACRIFICE FOR YOUR SINS.

BY THE SIMPLE ACT OF FAITH

IN JESUS CHRIST AS YOUR SAVIOR

AND LORD, YOUR LIFE CAN CHANGE."

THEN HE SAID, "I WOULDN'T BE

MUCH OF A SALESMAN IF I DIDN'T

ASK YOU TO PRAY THAT PRAYER

AND ASK JESUS CHRIST

TO COME IN YOUR LIFE."

WELL, I'VE BEEN A DEAL MAKER

ALL OF MY LIFE

AND THAT DEAL WAS SO SIMPLE.

PRAY THAT PRAYER,

SHUT THAT MAN UP.

[Laughter]

BUT HE'S THE KING

OF THE WEIRD PRAYER.

HE SAID, "I'LL PRAY THIS

AND YOU PRAY IT AFTER ME."

IT WAS: DEAR GOD, I'M A SINNER.

PLEASE FORGIVE ME OF MY SINS.

THANK YOU FOR SENDING

YOUR SON JESUS CHRIST

TO DIE ON THE CROSS FOR MY SINS.

REIGN ON THE THRONE OF MY HEART

AS LORD AND SAVIOR.

MAKE ME A WORKER

IN YOUR VINEYARD. AMEN.

I GOT UP. I SHOOK HIS HAND.

I LAUGHED. I GOT IN THE CAR.

AND I STARTED LAUGHING.

DOES THIS CRAZY MAN THINK I'M

GOING TO LEAVE ALL THIS MONEY

AND GO TO CALIFORNIA

TO WORK IN A VINEYARD?

[Laughter]

NOT ME! NOT ME!

BUT WHEN I GOT BACK

TO THAT ABORTION CLINIC,

SOMETHING HAD HAPPENED.

THOSE GIRLS WERE CRYING.

THEY WEREN'T EXCITED

ABOUT BEING THERE.

MY EYES WERE OPENED AND I HAD

NEVER SEEN ALL THAT PAIN BEFORE.

I STARTED TAKING THEM

INTO MY OFFICE.

NOW, YOU'VE GOT TO REMEMBER,

I WAS THE HAMMER.

IF THEY COULDN'T GET ONE

ACROSS THE LINE,

THEY WOULD BRING HER TO ME AND

I WOULD SELL HER THE ABORTION

AND I WOULD GET HER IN.

BUT I STARTED SAYING, "NO,

YOUR PARENTS WILL NOT KILL YOU.

YOUR PARENTS LOVE YOU.

THEY'RE GOING TO BE DISAPPOINTED

BUT THEY'LL STAND BY YOU."

AND I STARTED SAYING,

"COULD I GO HOME WITH YOU AND

HELP YOU TALK TO YOUR PARENTS?"

AT THE END OF THAT DAY

I WAS CONFUSED.

I WAS NOT SAYING,

"ISN'T THIS GREAT?

I SAVED THREE BABIES TODAY."

I WAS SAYING,

"I LOST 75 DOLLARS."

MONEY, MONEY, MONEY!

I DON'T KNOW WHY BUT I WENT

TO THE ABORTIONIST'S OFFICE

AND FELL TO MY KNEES AND PRAYED,

"LORD, IF THERE IS LORD, IF THIS

IS NOT WHERE YOU WANT ME,

HIT ME OVER THE HEAD

WITH A TWO-BY-FOUR."

AND THE TWO-BY-FOUR WAS THAT

WE WERE CAUGHT ATTEMPTING

TO DO ABORTIONS ON WOMEN

THAT WERE NOT PREGNANT.

AT THAT TIME,

THE CHANNEL FOUR AFFILIATE

IN THE DALLAS/FORT WORTH AREA

SENT THEIR REPORTERS

TO THE DOCTOR TO BE CERTAIN

THEY WEREN'T PREGNANT,

WIRED THEM FOR SOUND.

SENT THEM INTO

OUR ABORTION CLINIC;

CAUGHT US RED-HANDED

27 DAYS AFTER THAT PASTOR SAID,

"SOMEONE WOULD BE LEAVING

IN 30."

ALL I KNEW WAS IT WAS ME --

THAT'S ALL I KNEW.

NOTHING BEYOND THAT.

James: WHOO! SO YOUR GOALS NOW?

Carol: TO SAVE FAR MORE BABIES

THAN I WAS EVER PART

OF TAKING THE LIVES OF,

AND TO HELP THOSE

WHO ARE HURTING FROM ABORTION

TO KNOW THAT THERE IS

FREEDOM IN CHRIST;

THAT HE IS THE TRUE FREEDOM.

TO HELP THOSE WOMEN

WHO ARE CONSIDERING ABORTION

KNOW THAT THAT BABY IS ALIVE

AND GOD HAS A PLAN

FOR THAT BABY'S LIFE

AND FOR HER LIFE, AND HE HAS

A WAY OF ESCAPE FOR HER.

I WOULD LOVE FOR THE WORLD

TO KNOW THAT ABORTION IS WRONG

AND THAT WE WORRY ABOUT DOGS

AND CATS AND WHALES,

WHY DON'T WE WORRY

ABOUT THOSE LITTLE BABIES?

WHY DON'T WE WORRY

ABOUT THOSE BABIES?

James: I CAN'T TELL YOU

HOW MUCH I WANT US TO!

I'M CONSIDERED

A PRETTY STRONG GUY,

PRETTY FORTHRIGHT,

PRETTY BOLD.

I HAVEN'T HAD A LOT

OF PEOPLE CALL ME A SISSY.

I WOULDN'T SUGGEST

YOU TRY TO BE THE FIRST ONE.

I DON'T EVEN HAVE THE ABILITY

TO TELL YOU HOW MY HEART BREAKS.

[Emotional]

BECAUSE I SEE HOW INDESCRIBABLY

PRECIOUS AND VALUABLE --

I GUESS IF I JUST READ THE BIBLE

AND SAW HOW VALUABLE

WE ARE TO GOD THAT HE WOULD

GIVE HIS ONLY SON TO DIE

SO WE COULD BE FORGIVEN

AND LIVE,

AND THEN HE WOULD RAISE HIS SON

TO LIVE IN US TO ENABLE US

TO DEAL WITH ALL THE CHALLENGES

AND PROBLEMS AND FAILURES,

SHORTCOMINGS, SIN,

THAT HE LOVES US LIKE THAT.

HOW WOULD WE QUESTION

THE VALUE OF ANY PERSON?

I JUST SEE LIFE AS SO PRECIOUS.

SO CAROL, I REALLY WANTED YOU

TO COME AND SHARE.

I HEARD THIS STORY

IN THE GIFT OF LIFE.

I WISH EVERY CHURCH

WOULD PLAY THIS.

I BEG YOU TO.

PLAY IT TO

THE WHOLE CONGREGATION --

REAL IMPORTANT.

WE'LL SEND YOU A COPY OF IT,

CITIZENS UNITED,

AND JUST CARING PEOPLE

AND WE'LL SEND IT TO YOU IF YOU

JUST HELP US SAVE SOME LIVES

OF SOME LITTLE CHILDREN

THAT ARE IN NEED AND I'LL

SHOW YOU WHAT YOU CAN DO.

BUT I SAW YOUR STORY AND

I WANTED YOU TO COME AND TELL.

IT'S HARD TO BELIEVE PEOPLE

JUST MAKE IT INTO A MONEY MAKING

MACHINE BUT IT IS HAPPENING.

WE'RE NOT TRYING

TO MAKE ANYBODY FEEL BAD.

THIS PREACHER LOVES YOU.

GOD CONVICT YOU.

I JUST PRAY THAT FOR EVERYBODY.

FATHER, I PRAY THAT FOR PEOPLE

WHO HAVE HAD ABORTIONS,

CONSIDERING AN ABORTION,

WHO WORK IN THE CLINICS.

LORD, GOD, WE NEED

AN AWAKENING IN OUR NATION.

WE NEED A SPIRITUAL AWAKENING.

LORD, WE NEED MORE THAN

SOME ELECTION, WE NEED TO MAKE

A LOT OF CORRECTION NATIONALLY.

BUT LORD,

WE NEED OUR HEARTS CHANGED.

AMERICA NEEDS A HEART CHANGE.

WE NEED TRANSFORMED PEOPLE,

TRANSFORM THE CULTURE

AND EVERYTHING AROUND US

SO WE'RE ASKING YOU FOR THAT,

BUT START IT WITH SOME WHO ARE

WATCHING TODAY; IN JESUS' NAME.

CAROL, I WANT TO THANK YOU.

I WANT TO SAY THIS

TO SOME OF YOU,

GOD'S SPEAKING TO YOU ABOUT

WHAT'S GOING ON IN YOUR LIFE

OR YOUR BODY OR THE PRACTICES,

DECISIONS YOU'RE MAKING

OR MAYBE WHERE YOU WORK --

ALL THE ABORTION CLINICS

WOULD CLOSE IF NOBODY WOULD GO.

ALL OF THEM WOULD CLOSE

IF THE DOCTORS WOULD JUST SAY,

"I WON'T DO ONE ANYMORE."

AND THE PRACTITIONERS WOULD SAY,

"WE'RE NOT DOING IT."

YOU'RE NOT REALLY

DOING A SERVICE,

YOU'RE DOING A DISSERVICE,

HOWEVER SINCERE YOU ARE.

AND DON'T GET ANGRY WITH ME.

I JUST LOVE LIFE --

I LOVE YOUR LIFE.

I WANT TO SAY THANKS TO CAROL.

WOULD YOU SAY THANKS TO CAROL

FOR HER OPENNESS

AND SHARING HER STORY?

[Applause]

I WANT YOU TO LOOK IN

ON SOMETHING.

WE GOT A TEXT MESSAGE

FROM THE PERSON

YOU'RE ABOUT TO SEE

THAT SAID, "WE'RE IN THE SUDAN

AND WE'RE TRYING

TO FEED CHILDREN,

AND THERE ARE TWO DYING A DAY

TRYING TO GET TO THE LINES."

I WANT YOU TO LISTEN

TO WHAT SHE ACTUALLY

WENT THROUGH IN THE SUDAN.

I REALLY, REALLY WANT YOU TO

KIND OF MOVE IN AND JUST SAY,

"GOD, LET ME IDENTIFY WITH YOU,

NOT ONLY WITH THIS

MISSION TEAM MEMBER, JANICE,

BUT LET ME IDENTIFY WITH YOU."

WATCH CLOSELY.

Janice: MY NAME IS JANICE.

I'VE BEEN A PHOTOGRAPHER WITH THE LIFE Outreach MISSION TEAM

FOR OVER 20 YEARS.

I'VE TRAVELED ALL OVER THE WORLD

TRYING TO HELP CHILDREN IN NEED.

EVEN THOUGH MY HEART IS BROKEN EACH TRIP

BY THE AMOUNT OF PAIN AND SUFFERING I'VE WITNESSED,

I WASN'T PREPARED FOR WHAT I SAW

ON OUR LATEST TRIP TO SOUTH SUDAN.

THIS BOY'S NAME IS LAZARUS.

HIS CHRISTIAN MOTHER GAVE HIM THIS NAME

AND IT IS VERY FITTING

BECAUSE LAZARUS NEEDS A MIRACLE.

HE WANTED TO SEE HIS PICTURE A MINUTE AGO.

I WAS SCARED TO EVEN SHOW IT TO HIM

BECAUSE I DON'T KNOW IF HE UNDERSTANDS WHAT HE LOOKS LIKE.

AND I SHOWED HIM AND THE MAN SAID

HE IS SAYING, "WHO IS THAT? WHO IS THAT?"

HE CAN'T EVEN RECOGNIZE HIMSELF.

[Weeping]

Janice: THERE ARE THOUSANDS LIKE THIS ALL OVER SUDAN.

WE NEED TO HELP THEM GET A BRAND-NEW START.

WE NEED TO HELP THEM GROW AND BE CHILDREN AND HAVE FUN.

ALL IT TAKES IS FOOD... FOOD!

IT'S SO SIMPLE.

JESUS, GIVE HIM A MIRACLE.

James: I THINK GOD DOES

WHAT WE CAN'T DO.

I'M SO GLAD I WORK WITH PEOPLE

WHO LOVE PEOPLE LIKE JANICE DOES

AND I COULD DIE GIVING LIFE

OVER THERE IN THE MIDST OF

ALL THOSE KIDS AND SUFFERING.

THE MISSIONARIES TOLD ME

TO GO BACK HOME, GO BACK

TO THE STATES AND GET HELP

SO THEY COULD DO

WHAT GOD CALLED THEM TO DO.

WE'VE BEEN DOING

OUR BEST TO DO IT.

YOU'VE BEEN SUCH

AN ENCOURAGEMENT TO US

ALL OVER THE WORLD.

YOU'VE HELPED US DO IT.

DON'T STOP!

IN ECONOMIC CHALLENGING TIMES

I'M PRAYING,

GOD LET US DO EVEN MORE --

MORE -- MORE! --

BECAUSE YOU DO IT.

LAZARUS -- I WANT LAZARUS

TO HAVE A MIRACLE.

I WANT LAZARUS TO HAVE A MIRACLE

LIKE LITTLE BABY MATTHEW HAD

WHEN BETH MOORE WAS PRAYING

OVER A LITTLE BOY

THEY SAID WILL DIE TONIGHT --

TONIGHT!

AND THEN BETH MOORE WENT BACK

AND PLAYED KICK BALL,

SOCCER WITH THAT LITTLE GUY --

LITTLE MATTHEW, A MIRACLE!

WE NEED IT FOR LAZARUS, BETTY.

OUR MISSION TEAM,

THEY'VE GOT THAT KIND OF HEART.

BUT OUR VIEWERS ARE THE KEY

TO BEING ABLE TO GIVE LAZARUS

A MIRACLE, AND THE MOTHER

THE MIRACLE SHE WANTS TO SEE.

Betty: IT IS VERY FITTING.

WE SHOULD BE WEEPING

JUST AS WE WATCHED JANICE WEEP

BECAUSE YOU FEEL HELPLESS UNLESS

YOU KNOW THAT YOU CAN HELP.

WE'RE LETTING YOU KNOW

THAT YOU CAN HELP.

YOU CAN REACH OUT TO THESE

LITTLE CHILDREN LIKE LAZARUS.

THERE ARE SO MANY MORE OF THEM,

WITH CARING AND LOVING AND

GIVING THEM THE FOOD THEY NEED.

WE CAN TURN A TRAGEDY

INTO A TRIUMPH.

WE CAN HELP THESE CHILDREN

SIMPLY BY GETTING

THE FOOD TO THEM.

James: I'M ASKING YOU

TO GO TO THE PHONE RIGHT NOW

OR GO ONLINE LifeToday.org

AND JUST MAKE THE LARGEST GIFT

YOU CAN.

LIKE THE MISSIONARIES SAID,

THE SITUATION IN SOME PLACES --

AND BY THE WAY,

THERE ARE SOME REAL MIRACLES

GOING ON IN THE SUDAN WHERE

A LOT OF THE SUFFERING

IS NOW PART OF --

IT'S BROKEN AWAY FROM

THE RADICAL MUSLIM GOVERNMENT

IN THE SOUTHERN SUDAN NOW.

BASICALLY, THEY'RE EXPERIENCING

A NEWFOUND FREEDOM,

BUT THEY'VE REALLY HAD HARDSHIP

PUSHED ON THEM -- THEY'VE BEEN

PERSECUTED TERRIBLY -- TERRIBLY!

THE ONLY HOPE THEY'VE GOT,

AND THEY ARE --

SO MANY OF THEM ARE CHRISTIANS

-- AND THE ONLY HOPE THEY'VE GOT

ARE PEOPLE WHO LOVE GOD

HELPING THEM.

I'M ASKING YOU TO DIAL

THE NUMBER.

IF YOU CAN HELP US TAKE CARE OF

100 KIDS, GIVE $1,000.

DO IT; WOULD YOU DO THAT?

GIVE SEVERAL THOUSAND.

$100 WILL ENABLE US

TO TAKE CARE OF 10 CHILDREN

FOR THE NEXT MONTHS.

FOR $50

WE CAN TAKE CARE OF FIVE.

FOR $30

WE CAN TAKE CARE OF THREE.

BY THE WAY, $30 TO YOU MIGHT BE

AS BIG AS $1,000 TO SOMEBODY

SO DON'T THINK WELL,

THAT'S NOT MUCH.

MY LITTLE --.

YOUR $30, THAT WIDOW'S MITE,

MAY BE THE BIGGEST GIFT

THAT COMES IN TODAY

BUT IT'S REAL BIG

TO THOSE THREE CHILDREN.

SO I WANT YOU TO CALL.

IF YOU GET A BUSY,

I PRAY SO MANY PEOPLE WILL CALL

THAT YOU MAY HAVE TO JUST SAY,

"I'M GOING TO BE PERSISTENT

AND I WILL GET THROUGH

BECAUSE I'M GOING TO GIVE THAT

LITTLE LAZARUS HIS MIRACLE."

WE'VE ALREADY SET THINGS

IN MOTION.

WE WANT TO KEEP UP WITH HIM.

I WANT TO BE ABLE TO COME BACK

WITH A GOOD REPORT;

I WANT YOU TO BE A PART OF IT.

BUT LISTEN, LIKE JANICE SAID,

THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF KIDS

LIKE THAT.

LITTLE LAZARUS REPRESENTS ONE --

ONE THAT WE AT LEAST GOT

TO BE ABLE TO PUT IN A BED.

WILL YOU DIAL THE NUMBER?

WE HAVE SOME GIFTS TO SEND YOU

TO BLESS YOUR CHILDREN

AND TO BLESS YOU

BECAUSE WE LOVE YOU.

WE WANT TO BLESS YOU.

I DON'T KNOW A SINGLE ONE OF YOU

THAT EVER GIVE BECAUSE WE'RE

GOING TO GIVE YOU SOMETHING.

I DON'T KNOW A ONE OF YOU

THAT WOULD DO THAT!

WE GIVE TO YOU

BECAUSE WE LOVE YOU.

BUT WE'RE ASKING YOU, PLEASE

MAKE THE BIGGEST GIFT YOU CAN

RIGHT NOW AND HELP US SAVE

THE LIVES OF THESE CHILDREN.

Announcer: AT THIS VERY MOMENT, A CHILD IS DRAWING HIS LAST BREATH

STRUGGLING TO STAY ALIVE DUE TO A LACK OF FOOD.

SADLY, THIS IMPOVERISHED CHILD IS NOT ALONE

AND WITHOUT OUR HELP MANY LIKE HIM FACE DEATH AS WELL.

TODAY YOU CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE -- AND HELP SAVE A LIFE.

IN ADDITION TO THE 400,000 CHILDREN

ALREADY IN LIFE'S MISSION FEEDING PROGRAM,

OUR TEAMS HAVE FOUND A REGION IN SOUTH SUDAN WITH ANOTHER

20,000 CHILDREN IN NEED OF IMMEDIATE LIFE-SAVING ASSISTANCE.

OUR MISSION TEAMS ARE IN PLACE BUT

WE DESPERATELY NEED YOUR HELP TO REPLENISH

CRITICALLY NEEDED FOOD SUPPLIES IMMEDIATELY.

YOUR LIFE-SAVING GIFT OF $30, $50, OR $100

WILL HELP FEED AND CARE FOR THREE, FIVE, OR TEN CHILDREN

FOR THREE FULL MONTHS.

WITH YOUR GIFT, WE'LL RUSH YOU THE JESUS STORYBOOK BIBLE.

THIS BEAUTIFULLY ILLUSTRATED BOOK WILL HELP YOUR CHILDREN

DISCOVER FOR THEMSELVES THAT JESUS IS AT THE CENTER

OF GOD'S GREAT STORY OF SALVATION,

AND AT THE CENTER OF THEIR LIVES TOO!

WITH YOUR GIFT OF $100 OR MORE TO HELP FEED TEN CHILDREN,

YOU MAY REQUEST OUR NEW INTERNATIONAL VERSION

AND NEW KING JAMES SIDE-BY-SIDE BIBLE

WITH A TWO-COLUMN FORMAT FOR EASY COMPARISON.

FINALLY, PLEASE PRAYERFULLY CONSIDER A GIFT OF $1,000 OR MORE

TO HELP FEED AND SAVE THE LIVES OF 100 CHILDREN,

AND YOU MAY ALSO REQUEST "THE LION AND THE LAMB" BRONZE SCULPTURE.

PLEASE CALL, WRITE, OR MAKE YOUR GIFT ONLINE RIGHT NOW!

Peter: THESE CHILDREN SHOULD BE RUNNING AROUND,

PLAYING, HAVING FUN,

BUT THAT HAS BEEN ROBBED FROM THEM

BECAUSE THEY ARE WITHOUT FOOD,

THEY ARE WITHOUT HOPE, THEY ARE STRUGGLING.

AND I ASK IF YOU CAN HELP US

TO GIVE THESE CHILDREN HOPE

BY GIVING THEM A BOWL OF FOOD A DAY.

IT'S AMAZING HOW THAT BOWL OF FOOD EVERY DAY

ADDS HOPE TO A CHILD AND CHANGES THEIR SITUATION.

WE CAN MAKE THE DIFFERENCE.

WE CAN GIVE THEM HOPE.

WE CAN GIVE THEM A BOWL OF FOOD.

WE NEED YOUR HELP AND WE NEED IT NOW.

James: I'M BELIEVING GOD

FOR THE RESURRECTION OF LAZARUS,

AND A WHOLE LOT MORE.

I WANT TO THANK YOU

FOR MAKING THAT POSSIBLE.

THE GIFT OF LIFE,

IF YOU'D LIKE TO HAVE THIS DVD,

WE'LL SEND IT TO YOU;

IT DOES HAVE MY STORY IN IT.

GOVERNOR HUCKABEE

DOES A GREAT JOB.

CAROL'S STORY IS IN IT.

THE CHILDREN'S

JESUS STORYBOOK BIBLE

-- POWERFUL!

THE PARALLEL BIBLE

WITH THE N.I.V.

AND THE NEW KING JAMES;

AND OF COURSE,

"THE LION AND THE LAMB" BRONZE

THAT WE SEND TO SAY THANK YOU

FOR MAKING A REAL SPECIAL,

BEAUTIFUL ART PIECE.

CAROL, I THANK YOU.

CAROL IS GOING TO COME BACK

AND BE WITH US AGAIN

IN ANOTHER PROGRAM.

WOULD YOU JUST JOIN ME AND BETTY

IN SAYING THANKS TO CAROL?

THANK YOU, CAROL!

THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

THANK YOU!
