§

James: WELL, BETTY AND I WANT

TO WELCOME YOU TO LIFE TODAY.

I'M JAMES ROBISON.

WE'RE TALKING ABOUT SOMETHING

THAT EVERY ONE OF OUR VIEWERS,

WHETHER WE'RE HEARING BY E-MAIL

OR WHETHER THEY WRITE A NOTE

OR WHETHER WE RUN INTO SOMEONE

IN OUR TRAVEL AS I'M SPEAKING

OR EVEN IN A PUBLIC PLACE,

WE MAY BE EATING

AT A RESTAURANT

AND PEOPLE COME OVER AND SAY,

"WE WANT TO THANK YOU.

WE WANT TO THANK YOU FOR

ENABLING US TO HAVE A PART

IN SOMETHING WE THINK IS

SO IMPORTANT, SO LIFE-GIVING

AND SO MEANINGFUL."

"IT IS MEANINGFUL TO US,"

THEY SAY.

WHAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT

IS GIVING PEOPLE A SURE CURE

FOR THE MOST DEADLY DISEASE

PERHAPS KNOWN TO MAN

AND THAT IS THE ADVERSE EFFECT

OF CONTAMINATED

DISEASE-RIDDEN WATER.

OUR SON RANDY CAME BACK

RECENTLY FROM THE MISSION FIELD

AND HE'S BEEN MANY TIMES --

AS A MATTER OF FACT,

HE STARTED GOING WHEN

HE WAS QUITE YOUNG,

AND NO QUESTION, IT HAD

A PROFOUND EFFECT ON HIM.

BUT I THINK WHAT HE SAW

THIS TIME PERHAPS MOVED HIM

IN SOME VERY UNIQUE WAYS.

WE WANT YOU TO HEAR

WHAT RANDY SAYS BECAUSE

YOU HAVE A CHANCE TO MAKE

SUCH A DIFFERENCE,

IT IS INDESCRIBABLE.

RANDY, WE'RE GLAD TO HAVE YOU.

Randy: I'M GLAD TO BE HERE.

THIS IS SUCH AN IMPORTANT

THING AND SUCH AN EASY THING

FOR PEOPLE TO GET INVOLVED IN

THAT I'M EXCITED

JUST TO TALK ABOUT IT.

James: TELL US WHAT YOU SAW

BECAUSE I KNOW AS I REFERENCED

IN THE OPEN, YOU'VE BEEN

TRAVELING SINCE YOU WERE

VERY YOUNG IN VERY

REMOTE PARTS OF THE WORLD.

YOU'VE SEEN AS YOU'VE WATCHED

YOUR PARENTS AND YOU'VE WATCHED

THE MISSIONARIES COME IN

AND TELL THEIR STORIES,

YOU'VE ALSO SEEN FIRSTHAND.

THIS TIME YOU WENT NOT ONLY TO

OBSERVE AND YOU'VE GONE WHERE

YOU WERE IN THE BACKGROUND

DOING SOUND OR PHOTOGRAPHY

OR EVEN RUNNING VIDEO CAMERAS

TO TRY TO CAPTURE THE SCENES;

THIS TIME YOU WERE IN

THE SITUATION AND YOU WERE

ACTUALLY REPRESENTING THE NEED.

SO TELL ME HOW THAT

EFFECTED YOU WHEN YOU KNEW

THAT YOU WERE GOING TO HAVE

TO DELIVER BACK TO THE VIEWERS

AROUND THE WORLD THE REALITY

OF WHAT YOU WERE WITNESSING

THERE FIRSTHAND

TRYING TO COMMUNICATE.

Randy: IT'S HARD SOMETIMES

I THINK TO GET THE FULL EFFECT.

YOU DON'T GET THE SMELL,

THE TOUCH, BUT YOU STILL

SEE THE HUMAN COMPONENT

WHEN YOU MEET PEOPLE,

WHEN YOU MEET A MOTHER

WHO HAS LOST A CHILD

TO DISEASED WATER,

WHEN YOU MEET A GRANDFATHER

WHO IS SITTING THERE

WITH HIS GRANDCHILDREN

AT THE GRAVES OF THE ONES

HE HAS LOST.

THERE IS ALWAYS THIS HUMAN

COMPONENT OF THE PAIN.

IN FACT, IT WOULD BE

VERY DIFFICULT TO GO

OR TO WATCH IF YOU DIDN'T KNOW

THAT THE SOLUTION WAS SO SIMPLE

AND SO WITHIN OUR REACH.

THAT'S REALLY THE TAKE AWAY

I GET.

IT CAN BE VERY DIFFICULT

WHEN YOU GO TO THESE PLACES

WHERE PEOPLE ARE DYING

BUT WHEN YOU KNOW THAT

WE CAN CHANGE IT AND

WE CAN DO IT QUICKLY

AND EASILY, THAT BRINGS HOPE

AND THAT CREATES AN EXCITEMENT

TO KNOW WE'RE GOING SOMEWHERE

WHERE WE'RE REALLY GOING

TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE.

Betty: BECAUSE YOU'RE A FATHER

OF FOUR BEAUTIFUL CHILDREN,

OUR GRANDCHILDREN,

DID THAT IN SOME WAY,

BEING A DAD, EFFECT YOU AS YOU

SAW THESE PRECIOUS CHILDREN?

Randy: IT MAKES IT REAL HARD

AT TIMES.

YOU TEND TO SEE YOUR KIDS

IN THE SITUATION BECAUSE

WE WOULD NEVER HAVE OUR

CHILDREN DRINK THIS WATER.

WE KNOW JUST THE STRESS

IT CREATES WHEN YOU HAVE

TO TAKE YOUR CHILD

TO THE DOCTOR OR MAYBE

TO THE EMERGENCY ROOM BECAUSE

SOMETHING POPS UP.

THE RAPID PACE THAT THESE

PARENTS LOSE THEIR CHILDREN

IS ASTONISHING.

THEY'LL GET SICK ONE DAY

WITH SOME VOMITING

AND DIARRHEA AND

THEY'LL DIE THE NEXT DAY.

THEY WILL BE DEHYDRATED

THAT QUICKLY.

I'M NOT A DOCTOR BUT

IT SOUNDS LIKE CHOLERA

OR OTHER TYPES OF DISEASES

BUT THEY TRACE IT ALL THE WAY

BACK TO WATER IN 90%

OF THE CASES OF ILLNESS.

SO YEAH, IT DEFINITELY

AFFECTS YOU WHEN YOU HAVE

YOUR OWN CHILDREN BECAUSE

YOU KNOW HOW MUCH

YOU LOVE THEM AND HOW

YOU WOULD DO ANYTHING

TO SAVE THEIR LIVES.

THAT'S REALLY WHERE

THESE PEOPLE ARE.

THEY'RE LOOKING AT US

SAYING, "PLEASE, IF YOU

COULD HELP -- PLEASE IF YOU

CAN HELP JUST HELP US."

James: AND WE CAN HELP.

I THINK ONE OF THE THINGS

THAT SOMETIMES SHOCK YOU

IS PEOPLE DIE BECAUSE

THERE IS SIMPLY JUST NO WATER

AND THEY'RE HAVING TO GO MILES

TO TRY TO FIND IT IN DROUGHT

SITUATIONS OR WHATEVER

WATER SOURCE THEY HAVE

IS SO DEPLETED OR

SO ABSOLUTELY POLLUTED THAT

THEY DON'T DRINK IT,

THEY TRY TO GO SOMEWHERE ELSE.

NORMALLY, THEY'RE FORCED

TO DRINK IT,

THAT'S THE PROBLEM BECAUSE

THERE ISN'T ANOTHER SOURCE.

WE CAN GIVE THEM THAT SOURCE.

YOU SAW THE SITUATION

AND WE'VE SHOWN PEOPLE WHERE

THE DROUGHT HAD DRIED UP

THEIR RIVER SOURCES;

WHERE THERE WAS SOME PLENTY

DECENT WATER AS LONG

AS THEY HAD IT.

BUT HERE YOU CAN ACTUALLY

HAVE WATER THAT'S THERE BUT

IT'S ALMOST LIKE POISON.

I THINK YOU EXPERIENCED

SOMETHING LIKE THAT.

Randy: YEAH, I SAW SOMETHING

I HAD NEVER SEEN.

WE DID GO TO SAMARIA

AND CAMBODIA WHERE

THEY HAVE LIMITED WATER.

THEY HAVE TO DRINK

WHAT'S THERE BECAUSE

THAT'S ALL THAT'S THERE.

BUT I SAW SOMETHING

I'D NEVER SEEN BEFORE.

I SAW MILES OF WATER --

WATER TO THE HORIZON,

IN FACT, A VILLAGE

ON THE WATER.

IT IS STRIKING THAT

THERE IS WATER ALL OVER

THE PLACE BUT YET STILL

THAT WATER IS KILLING THEM.

James: LET'S WATCH THIS.

I WANT OUR VIEWERS TO SEE

WHAT RANDY IS TALKING ABOUT.

LET'S LOOK AT IT TOGETHER.

Randy:THIS IS AN AMAZING AREA.

WE'RE IN CAMBODIA ON A RIVERTHAT'S ABOUT 15 MILES WIDE

AND THERE AREFLOATING VILLAGES.

YET WHEN YOU LOOK ATALL THIS WATER, IT'S DEATH.

AND IN ONESMALL PHARMACY ALONE,

WHICH IS THE ONLYMEDICAL FACILITY THEY HAVE

IN ONE OF THESEFLOATING VILLAGES,

THE RETIRED NURSE THERE SAIDTHAT HE'S SEEN A CHILD DIE

ON AVERAGEEVERY OTHER WEEK.

Randy: THEY COOK WITH IT,THEY BATHE IN IT,

AND THEY GO TOTHE RESTROOM IN IT

AND THEY DIEBY THIS VERY WATER.

Randy: TELL THEMWE WILL DO WHAT WE CAN

SO HE DOESN'T LOSEANYMORE GRANDCHILDREN.

WE CAN CHANGETHEIR LIVES.

WE CAN STOP THE SICKNESSESTHAT ARE KILLING THEIR CHILDRENAND GRANDCHILDREN.

WE CAN JUST SIMPLY GIVE THEMCLEAN DRINKING WATER.

James: RANDY, WHEN YOU LEFT

THAT SITUATION,

WHERE HERE YOU ARE, LIKE YOU

SAID THEY'RE ACTUALLY ON WATER

BUT IT'S ALMOST LIKE

THEY'RE STANDING, SITTING,

LIVING ON POISON AND YOU COULD

SEE WHAT IT WAS DOING.

SO WERE YOU ABLE TO TELL THEM

AND GET THE MESSAGE ACROSS

THAT WE BELIEVE OUR VIEWERS

WILL WANT TO TRY TO ALLEVIATE

THE SITUATION BECAUSE

WE'RE TRUSTING GOD TO LET US

DRILL HUNDREDS OF WELLS

AND IF WE CAN DRILL THE WELLS

THERE IN THE PROXIMITY,

THEY SEE THAT AS HOPE?

Randy: OH, YEAH.

IN FACT, I ASKED A COUPLE

OF PRACTICAL QUESTIONS.

I ASKED THEM BECAUSE

THEY'RE ON WATER AND WE'RE NOT

GOING TO DRILL IN THE LAKE

BUT JUST A FEW HUNDRED YARDS

IS THE SHORE.

I SAID, "IF WE PUT A WELL

OVER THERE ON SHORE,

WILL YOU GO GET THE WATER?"

THEY SAID, "OH, ABSOLUTELY!"

IN FACT, WE SAW A FEW BOATS

AROUND THE VILLAGE THERE

ON THE WATER WITH PRODUCE

AND OTHER THINGS TO SELL.

SO THEY'VE GOT A LITTLE TRADE

GOING ON WITH THE VILLAGES

THAT ARE ON THE LAND.

SO NOT ONLY WILL WE SERVE

THE VILLAGE ON THE WATER

BUT WE'LL SERVE THE PEOPLE

THAT ARE ON THE LAND

IN THAT AREA TOO.

SO JUST ONE WELL WILL IMPACT

SO MANY PEOPLE

AND CHANGE SO MANY LIVES.

THAT RETIRED NURSE,

THAT LOOKED LIKE A DOCTOR

IN THAT PHARMACY, WHICH IS

MORE REALLY LIKE A CLINIC,

THEY WERE DOING I.V.'S

RIGHT THERE TO SOME CHILDREN

WHO HAD LOST SOME FLUID

BECAUSE THEY HAD DIARRHEA

AND AGAIN, THAT'S THE WATER.

I ASKED HIM; I SAID,

"HOW MANY OF THESE KIDS --."

HE'S SEEING ABOUT 20-25 KIDS

A WEEK THERE.

I SAID, "HOW MANY OF THESE KIDS

ARE HERE BECAUSE OF

WATER-RELATED ILLNESSES?"

HE SAID, "ABOUT 90% OF THEM

ARE HERE BECAUSE OF THAT."

I SAID, "HOW MANY OF THOSE

KIDS WOULD YOU NOT HAVE

TO SEE IF THEY HAD

CLEAN DRINKING WATER?"

HE SAID, "WELL, 85%

OF THE 90% WOULD JUST GO AWAY.

THEY WOULDN'T BE SICK."

AND THAT WOULD ALLOW HIM

TO FOCUS ON SOME MORE OF THE

DIFFICULT DISEASES TO TREAT.

BUT IT WOULD ELIMINATE MOST

OF THE SICKNESS RIGHT THERE.

I THOUGHT, HOW EASY IS THAT?

IT IS SO SIMPLE!

James: AND IT IS EASY

IF COMPASSION EXTENDS

CARING HANDS.

THAT REALLY IS THE KEY.

WE LOOK AT SITUATIONS

LIKE THAT -- AND BY THE WAY,

I KNOW BECAUSE I'VE TALKED

TO MANY VERY CONCERNED VIEWERS

WHO SAY, "DO YOU KNOW

THERE ARE FILTER SYSTEMS?"

OF COURSE, WE DO.

"DO YOU KNOW IT IS POSSIBLE

SOMETIMES TO HAVE

SMALL SYSTEMS?"

LET ME JUST TELL YOU THIS,

WE ARE DOING EVERYTHING

WE CAN TO MAKE

THOSE SITUATIONS POSSIBLE.

AND THANK GOD FOR IT.

AS A MATTER OF FACT,

DON'T EVER HESITATE TO WRITE

OR COMMUNICATE WITH US

AND SAY, "HEY, WE FOUND

SOME THINGS THAT WORK."

ANY TIME WE FIND SOMETHING

THAT WORKS WE WANT

TO HEAR ABOUT IT.

WE WANT SOMETHING THAT WORKS

ON A CONTINUAL BASIS.

WHAT WE HAVE FOUND

OVER THE YEARS IS THERE IS

NOTHING MORE COST EFFECTIVE

THAN DRILLING A $4800 WELL

TO TAKE CARE OF THOUSANDS

OF PEOPLE.

WE'RE ASKING GOD TO ENABLE US

WITH YOUR HELP TO DRILL A WELL,

TO DRILL SEVERAL WELLS

IF NECESSARY AROUND AREAS

LIKE THAT, WHERE THE VERY

WATER THAT THEY'RE LIVING ON

IS KILLING THEM AND WHERE

WE CAN, AS RANDY JUST SAID,

CHANGE THE LIVES OF THE PEOPLE

IN THE VILLAGES WHERE

THEY'RE TRYING TO DO

SOME TRADE.

THAT'S WONDERFUL!

WATER CHANGES EVERYTHING

FOR PEOPLE.

IT OPENS PEOPLE'S HEARTS

TO TRY TO FIND OUT WHY DID

YOU COME HERE?

AND WE TELL THEM

THE LOVE OF GOD.

IT IS ONE THING TO GO

PREACHING THE LOVE OF GOD

TO PEOPLE WHO HAVE

NEVER SEEN THE LOVE OF GOD.

AND WHEN THEY'VE SEEN IT,

THEY REALLY LISTEN.

SO WE REALLY ARE WORKING

WITH A TWO-PRONGED APPROACH.

I'VE SAID THIS MANY TIMES,

IF WE WENT INTO AN AREA

WHERE PEOPLE WERE DYING

AND WE COULD SAVE THEIR LIVES,

EVEN IF THEY WERE CLOSED

TO US PREACHING THE MESSAGE

WE WANT TO PREACH,

WE WOULD STILL GO IN THERE

AND LOVE THOSE PEOPLE.

YOU'D BE AMAZED WHAT HAPPENS

WHEN YOU DO THAT,

EVEN IN FACE OF INCREDIBLE

OPPOSITION BECAUSE

LOVE NEVER FAILS.

SO WHAT WE'RE ASKING YOU

TO DO IS TO DIAL

THE TELEPHONE NUMBER THERE,

IT IS A LIFELINE,

IS TO GIVE PEOPLE

WHOSE CHILDREN ARE DYING

AN OPPORTUNITY TO HAVE LIFE,

A MEANINGFUL LIFE.

NOT A LUXURIOUS LIFE,

A MEANINGFUL LIFE THAT

FOR THOSE PEOPLE, OFTENTIMES

IN IMPOVERISHED AREAS

THEY HAVE MORE JOY

AND MORE PEACE THAN

MANY OF OUR CHILDREN DO

SURROUNDED BY ALL

THE TRAPPINGS OF FUN.

BECAUSE YOU GIVE THEM LIFE

AND YOU GIVE THEM HEALTH,

YOU'LL BE AMAZED AT HOW KIDS IN

THE MOST MEAGER CIRCUMSTANCES

FIND WAYS TO ENJOY LIFE.

I AM BELIEVING, AND BETTY,

I KNOW WE ARE PRAYING WITH

ALL OUR HEART THAT THERE WILL

BE A DAY COME WHEN

EVERY SINGLE VIEWER

WHO WATCHES US ALL OVER

THE WORLD WILL SAY,

"I'M GOING TO AT LEAST

DO SOMETHING."

$48 GIVES TEN PEOPLE WATER.

EVERYBODY DOES SOMETHING.

Betty: ABSOLUTELY!

AS WE WERE JUST WATCHING IT

AND THAT HAPPENED TO BE

A GRANDPARENT THAT WAS TALKING

ABOUT LOSING THEIR GRANDCHILD.

THERE IS NOT A GRANDPARENT

THAT I COULD EVER KNOW

OR SEE THAT WOULD NOT DO --

GIVE THEIR LIFE FOR

THEIR GRANDCHILD

OR A PARENT THAT WOULDN'T.

AND THEY'RE DOING

ALL THEY CAN DO BUT

ALL THEY CAN DO THERE

IS HOLD THEM AND LOVE THEM

WHEN THEY HURT

AND CRY WITH THEM.

BUT WE CAN MAKE THE DIFFERENCE;

THAT MORE CAN BE DONE

IF WE CAN DRILL

THE WATER WELLS

SO THAT GRANDPARENT CAN SAY,

"HERE, HERE'S FRESH WATER."

THAT PARENT CAN SAY,

"I KNOW WHAT TO DO.

I CAN OFFER THEM

THE CLEAN WATER."

James: I NEVER THINK ABOUT

SOMEBODY BEING THIRSTY

THAT I DON'T THINK ABOUT JESUS

SAYING ON THE CROSS,

"I THIRST."

I REMEMBER THE FIRST TIME

I EVER HEARD THAT,

I WAS JUST A KID.

I THOUGHT, I REALLY WOULD HAVE

LIKED TO HAVE GIVEN HIM WATER.

I WOULDN'T HAVE

GIVEN HIM VINEGAR.

I WOULD HAVE GIVEN WATER.

I WOULD HAVE DONE ANYTHING

TO GIVE JESUS WATER.

YOU KNOW WHAT I'VE GOTTEN

TO SEE?

JESUS SAID, "IF YOU DO IT

TO THE LEAST OF THESE,

THESE OVERLOOKED, IF YOU DO IT

TO THEM, YOU'VE DONE IT TO ME."

BETTY AND I AND VIEWERS

LIKE YOU HAVE HAD THE JOY

OF GIVING WATER, YES, TO JESUS

BY GIVING IT

TO THE LEAST OF THESE.

YOU KNOW RANDY, WHEN YOU WERE

THERE, AND YOU COME BACK

AND YOU THINK ABOUT

WHAT YOU'VE SEEN,

WHAT GOES ON IN YOUR MIND

WHEN YOU THINK ABOUT

HOW DO I COMMUNICATE WITH

OUR VIEWERS WHERE THEY GRASP

THE IMPORTANCE, AS WELL AS

THE EFFECTIVENESS

AND THE MEANINGFULNESS

OF WHAT WE'RE TRYING TO DO?

Randy: YOU CAN SEE IT

IN THAT CLINIC.

THERE IS A LITTLE BOY,

A LITTLE TODDLER THAT I HELD

AND HE WAS LAUGHING,

HE WAS PLAYING, HE WAS SMILING.

EVERYBODY WAS LAUGHING

BECAUSE HE WAS JUST FULL

OF ENERGY, FULL OF LIFE.

AND RIGHT BEHIND HIM WAS

HIS SISTER WITH AN I.V.

HOOKED UP TO HER.

I DON'T KNOW

IF SHE IS STILL ALIVE.

SHE WAS IN BAD SHAPE.

THAT'S THE CONTRAST OF LIFE

AND DEATH AND THE POWER

THAT WE HAVE TO TAKE THEM LIFE

BY GIVING THEM CLEAN WATER.

James: IF YOU HAD SOMEONE

SITTING RIGHT HERE RIGHT NOW

WHICH YOU HAVE PEOPLE

ALL OVER THE WORLD AND

YOU WANTED TO SAY SOMETHING

TO THEM ABOUT WHAT

THEIR EXPRESSION OF LOVE

WILL DO, JUST TELL THEM

WHAT YOU FEEL.

Randy: YOU CAN MAKE

SUCH A DIFFERENCE NOT ONLY

IN ONE CHILD'S LIFE

AND ONE VILLAGE'S LIFE BUT

IN LIVES ALL OVER THE WORLD

AND IT'S SO EASY.

I KNOW A LOT OF YOU,

IF YOU HAD SOMEONE

IN YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD,

IN YOUR CHURCH WHO WAS DYING

BECAUSE THEY DIDN'T HAVE

CLEAN WATER, YOU WOULD RUSH

TO TAKE IT TO THEIR SIDE.

WE ALL WOULD.

THAT'S THE WAY WE ARE.

THESE PEOPLE ARE THERE.

YOU CAN'T NECESSARILY GO

TO ALL THESE PLACES AROUND

THE WORLD, THAT'S WHY

PARTNERING WITH US

IS SO EFFECTIVE AND SO SIMPLE.

WHEN YOU SUPPORT THE MISSION:

WATER FOR LIFE OUTREACH

IT REPRESENTS YOUR WORK,

YOUR FINANCES REPRESENT

YOUR TIME AND YOUR SKILL

AND YOUR EFFORTS.

AND BY JOINING WITH US,

YOU ARE GOING ALL OVER

THE WORLD AND YOU'RE CHANGING

LIVES NOT JUST FOR A MOMENT

BUT FOR A LIFETIME.

THESE WELLS, THEY SERVE

SO MANY PEOPLE BUT

THEY SERVE THEM FOR SO LONG.

YOU CAN HAVE AN IMPACT

FAR BEYOND YOURSELF WHEN

YOU JUST PARTNER WITH US

IN THIS WONDERFUL MISSION

OF LIFE.

James: I THINK, RANDY,

SO MANY TIMES AFTER WE'VE HAD

A STORM HIT AN AREA

AND KNOCK OUT ALL OF THE WATER

SUPPLIES AND MAYBE

WE'VE HAD...

WHETHER IT'S TORNADIC ACTIVITY

OR WHETHER

IT'S HURRICANE DAMAGE,

YOU'LL WATCH PEOPLE COME IN

AND BECAUSE WE WORK IN RELIEF

WITH CHURCHES ALL OVER

THE UNITED STATES, AS WELL AS

AROUND THE WORLD, ONE OF

THE FIRST THINGS YOU SEE

PEOPLE COME IN WITH

IS BOTTLED WATER.

THEY'LL COME IN WITH SEMIS

FULL OF THEM. WHY?

THEY'VE GOT TO HAVE WATER.

THESE PEOPLE DON'T HAVE THAT

AND YET THE PICTURE

IS JUST THE SAME.

IT IS LIKE RANDY SAID,

YOU GO IN, AND WE'RE NOT

JUST GIVING THEM A BOTTLE

OF WATER OR A CONTAINER

OF WATER OR A CASE OF WATER,

WE'RE GIVING THEM

A WATER SOURCE.

I'M ASKING YOU WHEREVER YOU ARE

RIGHT NOW TO BE AN ANSWER

TO WHAT RANDY JUST REFERENCED,

THE CONCERN OF THE PARENTS

AND GRANDPARENTS, THE PAIN

AND THE NEED OF THAT CHILD

AND THEIR FAMILIES.

WOULD YOU DIAL THE NUMBER?

WOULD YOU TAKE YOUR BANKCARD

AND USE IT LIKE A CHECK?

WOULD YOU GIVE A WELL?

IF YOU CAN GIVE A $4800 GIFT,

I BELIEVE YOU WILL.

I BELIEVE YOU'LL DO IT

JOYFULLY AND WITH GRATITUDE

TO GOD THAT YOU CAN DO IT

AND MAKE A GIFT THAT LASTS

A LIFETIME.

YOU GIVE $1200 OR $2400,

IMMEDIATELY ASK THE LORD,

"RAISE UP SOMEONE TO GIVE

THE OTHER $2400"

OR "THREE MORE TO GIVE

THE $1200 EACH ALSO"

AND WE'LL HAVE A WELL.

I THINK IT IS CRITICALLY

IMPORTANT BECAUSE

THIS QUITE FRANKLY IS WHERE

THE MAJORITY OF THE SUPPORT

COMES FROM: $48, 10 PEOPLE

WATER THE REST OF THEIR LIFE.

COULD YOU MAKE THAT GIFT?

$144, 30 PEOPLE.

JUST THINK ABOUT IT.

JUST ASK GOD, "FATHER,

WHAT DO YOU WANT ME TO DO?

WHAT CAN I DO?"

AND EVEN AS YOU MEDITATE

AND PRAY, GOD'S GOING

TO IMPRESS YOU ON HOW YOU CAN

DO IT AND WHAT YOU CAN DO.

I'M ASKING YOU TO MAKE

THAT RESPONSE RIGHT NOW.

THERE IS A TELEPHONE NUMBER

OR YOU CAN GO

TO LIFETODAY.ORG.

YOU'RE GOING TO SEE RANDY

AGAIN, OUR SON, SHARING HERE

ON THE PROGRAM ACTUALLY

IN THE SETTING THAT

HE'S REFERENCED EVEN AS

YOU WATCH.

I KNOW YOU'LL PRAY.

I PRAY YOU ALSO RESPOND.

§

[Children Laughing& Playing]

Randy: I WANT TO LOOKAT THIS WATER.

GOOD LORD!AUCHK!

IT SMELLS HORRIBLE!

IT SMELLS WORSETHAN IT LOOKS.

BUT THIS ISWHAT THEY DRINK

BECAUSE THIS IS ALLTHEY HAVE TO DRINK.

THIS IS NOT WATERTHAT YOU CAN LIVE FROM.

THIS IS WATERTHAT WILL KILL YOU.

I HAVE SEEN DISEASES, I HAVESEEN CHILDREN WITH SORES,

AND KIDS WITHDIARRHEA.

I'VE SEEN GRAVES.

I'VE SAT WITH A MOTHER WHILESHE WEPT OVER HER CHILDREN

THAT SHE LOST BECAUSEOF THIS CONTAMINATED WATER.

THIS IS DEATH WATER ANDIT'S KILLING THEIR CHILDREN.

I WOULD NEVER MAKEA CHILD DRINK THIS.

BUT THESE CHILDRENHAVE NO CHOICE.

IT'S THISOR NOTHING.

AND SOME OF THEM DON'T KNOWTHAT IT WILL KILL THEM.

IT'S NOT ENOUGH TO TELL THEMDON'T DRINK THE WATER.

WE HAVE TO SAY,"HERE'S WATER YOU CAN DRINK."

JESUS CALLS HIMSELF "LIVINGWATER" BECAUSE HE BRINGS LIFE.

WE ARE HIS HANDSAND HIS FEET.

HELP US DEMONSTRATETHE GOSPEL

AS WE BRING THEMWATER FOR LIFE.

James: BOY, I LIKE TO SEE

THOSE SMILES.

I LOVE WATCHING THOSE LITTLE

CHILDREN PLAY IN THAT WATER.

THEY DON'T NORMALLY PLAY IN IT

LIKE THAT, THEY DO WHEN

OUR CAMERAS ARE THERE

TO SHOW THE JOY IT BRINGS

BUT THEY DON'T WASTE IT.

WE'RE NOT ASKING PEOPLE

TO HELP US BUILD A WATER PARK.

WE'RE NOT ASKING YOU TO BUILD

AN ENTERTAINMENT CENTER.

THESE LITTLE CHILDREN, BETTY,

CAN HAVE FUN JUST KICKING

AN OLD BALL OF STRING AROUND.

Betty: WITH VERY LITTLE

AND YET THIS IS SOMETHING

THAT'S NOT A FUN THING --

IT'S NOT FOR FUN THAT

WE'RE GIVING THEM WATER

IT'S FOR LIFE THAT

WE'RE GIVING THEM THE WATER

SO THEY CAN PLAY AND HAVE FUN.

James: ABSOLUTELY.

WE'RE NOT ASKING FOR

SOME KIND OF EXTRAVAGANT

EXPRESSION OF FUN FOR KIDS

BUT YET YOU COULD SEE

THEY FELT GOOD.

WHEN THEY HAD A WELL,

THAT WELL HAD BEEN THERE

FOR A WHILE.

WE WANTED TO GO BACK

AND SHOW YOU, THAT'S WHAT

THEY LOOK LIKE; THIS IS WHAT

THE KIDS LOOK LIKE.

RANDY, YOU SAW WHAT

THEY LOOKED LIKE WHEN

THEY DIDN'T HAVE THAT

CLEAN WATER SOURCE

WE'RE TRYING TO GIVE THEM

AND IT'S HEARTBREAKING.

Randy: YEAH, IT IS.

THERE IS SOMETHING THAT

STICKS WITH ME IN PLACES

LIKE THIS WHEN I COME BACK,

THE IDEA OF US BEING

THE HANDS AND FEET.

I THINK A PARALLEL EXAMPLE

WOULD BE THAT GOOD SAMARITAN

STORY WHERE YOU'VE GOT

SOMEBODY WHO'S BEAT UP,

THEY'RE IN A DITCH,

THEY'RE IN A VERY

BAD SITUATION.

WHY DOESN'T GOD JUST

MIRACULOUSLY TOUCH THAT GUY

ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD?

WHY DOESN'T GOD JUST TAKE

WATER AND MAKE WATER

AVAILABLE TO ALL THESE KIDS

AROUND THE WORLD?

BECAUSE HE IS WAITING ON US,

HE IS WAITING ON HIS PEOPLE

TO RISE UP AND SAY,

"I WANT TO SHOW THEM THE LOVE

OF CHRIST THROUGH MY ACTIONS

-- NOT JUST MY WORDS."

YES, WE PREACH, WE SHARE.

WE DO THAT AS MUCH AS WE CAN

BUT WE HAVE TO DEMONSTRATE IT.

I THINK GOD IS WAITING FOR US

TO NOT JUST WALK BY BUT

TO STOP AND DO SOMETHING.

James: I AGREE 100%!

THAT IS THE REASON VIEWERS

LIKE YOU TELL US,

WE DON'T EXPERIENCE

ANY GREATER JOY.

I CAN PROMISE YOU

THE GOOD SAMARITAN THAT

RANDY JUST REFERENCED,

THAT WHEN THAT SAMARITAN

HELPED BIND THE WOUNDS

AND TOOK THAT BEATEN MAN

TO A RESIDENCE WHERE

HE COULD TAKE CARE OF HIM

AND HE SAID, "I'M GOING BACK

TO WORK."

IN OTHER WORDS, I'M NOT

MOVING IN HERE BUT

I'M MEETING THE NEED

AND I'M COMING BACK

AND CHECKING ON HIM.

THAT'S LOVE --

THAT'S WHAT LOVE DOES.

WE DRILL THE WELL,

YOU SAW CHILDREN HAPPY.

WE SHOW YOU AN AREA

WHERE THEY NEED THE WELL,

AND WE'RE BELIEVING

YOU'RE GOING TO HELP US

DRILL HUNDREDS OF THEM.

BUT IT IS IMPERATIVE THAT

YOU DIAL THE NUMBER RIGHT NOW

BECAUSE BETTY AND I GIVE

A WELL EVERY TIME WE HAVE

A WELL DRILLING EMPHASIS.

IT IS ONE OF THE MOST JOYFUL

THINGS WE'VE BEEN DOING

FOR YEARS.

WE ASK GOD TO ENABLE US

TO DO IT, HE HEARD THE PRAYER.

YOU MAY BE ABLE TO DRILL

A WELL.

I WANT TO TELL YOU SOMETHING,

PEOPLE START SOMEWHERE.

WE HAD A LOT OF PEOPLE

START MAKING $48 GIFTS

AND THEN ULTIMATELY GET

TO DRILL A WELL.

WOULD YOU START WITH

A $48 GIFT

AND GIVE 10 PEOPLE WATER?

$144 -- AND YOU MAY BE ABLE

TO DO THAT, I KNOW IT IS

A BIG GIFT, BUT YOU'RE GOING

TO GIVE 30 PEOPLE WATER

THE REST OF THEIR LIFE.

IF YOU CAN DRILL A WELL

OR PART OF A WELL,

PLEASE DO SO.

WE HAVE GOT SOME

VERY SPECIAL GIFTS THAT
