Tear of son car imports are expected to drive new car

Prices up by thousands of dollars but president yesterday

Rolled back tariffs on foreign auto parts in vehicles
00:01:23.009 --> 00:01:26.980
Assembled in the u.s. if they can't make it in time because
00:01:26.980 --> 00:01:31.685
They have to do it here otherwise i'm giving them a
00:01:31.685 --> 00:01:33.053
Little bit of a break.
00:01:33.053 --> 00:01:34.487
>> in an exclusive interview with abc news senior national
00:01:34.487 --> 00:01:38.191
Correspondent terry moran, things got testy when moran
00:01:38.191 --> 00:01:42.062
Told trump his 145% tariffs on china were bound to raise
00:01:42.062 --> 00:01:45.165
Prices on everything.
00:01:45.165 --> 00:01:48.401
>> it'll raise prices on everything from electronics to
00:01:48.401 --> 00:01:49.769
Clothing to building houses. you don't know that you don't
00:01:49.769 --> 00:01:54.474
Know whether or not china's imagine china probably will eat
00:01:54.474 --> 00:01:57.410
Those tariffs but at 145 they basically can't do much
00:01:57.410 --> 00:02:00.580
Business with the united states and they were making from us
00:02:00.580 --> 00:02:04.284
$1,000,000,000,000 a year. they ripping us off like
00:02:04.284 --> 00:02:07.787
Nobody's ever ripped us off. and by the way, we have other
00:02:07.787 --> 00:02:11.024
Countries that were just as bad.
00:02:11.024 --> 00:02:12.259
If you look at the european union was terrible what they've
00:02:12.259 --> 00:02:15.262
Done to us every country almost every country in the world was
00:02:15.262 --> 00:02:18.898
Ripping us off. hard times are ahead.
00:02:18.898 --> 00:02:20.133
I don't so i think tony, times are ahead yet trump's tariffs
00:02:20.133 --> 00:02:23.770
Have caused confidence in the economy to drop to the lowest
00:02:23.770 --> 00:02:26.706
Level since the days of the covid pandemic according to a
00:02:26.706 --> 00:02:30.610
Poll from the global business organization the conference
00:02:30.610 --> 00:02:34.114
Board at tuesday's press briefing, cbn news white house
00:02:34.114 --> 00:02:37.550
Correspondent wright asked about that uncertainty.
00:02:37.550 --> 00:02:41.554
>> what is your message the american people in terms of
00:02:41.554 --> 00:02:45.058
Letting get through this disturbance and the outcome
00:02:45.058 --> 00:02:49.296
Being greater and a greater good for the american worker,
00:02:49.296 --> 00:02:52.932
The american people, the american i would say trust in
00:02:52.932 --> 00:02:56.436
President there's a reason he was reelected to this office.
00:02:56.436 --> 00:03:00.540
It's because the historic success of his economic formula
00:03:00.540 --> 00:03:04.344
In the first term and as i laid out at the beginning of the
00:03:04.344 --> 00:03:07.714
Briefing and the secretary talked about and the president
00:03:07.714 --> 00:03:10.950
Talks about every day there's a proven formula works.
00:03:10.950 --> 00:03:14.487
Massive deregulation, energy independence and tax cuts which
00:03:14.487 --> 00:03:18.458
Are coming.
00:03:18.458 --> 00:03:19.259
>> the tax bill is moving forward.
00:03:19.259 --> 00:03:22.329
It is going to give permanence to the 2017 tax cuts and jobs
00:03:22.329 --> 00:03:25.899
Act which will go to the question on certainty it will
00:03:25.899 --> 00:03:30.303
Give american business certainty will give american
00:03:30.303 --> 00:03:33.073
People certainty.
00:03:33.073 --> 00:03:34.207
>> trump yesterday called amazon founder jeff bezos after
00:03:34.307 --> 00:03:37.110
There were reports the website amazon hall was considering
00:03:37.110 --> 00:03:41.114
Displaying the cost of tariffs at bottom of each product.
00:03:41.114 --> 00:03:44.584
Amazon later said that was never approved and it's not
00:03:44.584 --> 00:03:48.488
Going to happen.
00:03:48.488 --> 00:03:51.391
>> dale hurd, cbn news thanks much dale.
00:03:51.391 --> 00:03:56.062
One correction from something we stated earlier the economy
00:03:56.062 --> 00:03:57.464
Actually shrank by 3% in the first quarter of 2025 not 3%.
00:03:57.464 --> 00:04:01.968
In other news faith leaders colorado are pushing back
00:04:01.968 --> 00:04:05.572
Against a controversial bill they say violates parental
00:04:05.572 --> 00:04:09.576
Rights. it certainly does seem to
00:04:09.576 --> 00:04:10.810
Affirm graham that story and more from the cbn newsroom from
00:04:10.810 --> 00:04:15.715
Andrew colorado lawmakers are working to pass a controversial
00:04:15.715 --> 00:04:20.153
Transgender protection bill. its key provisions driving a
00:04:20.153 --> 00:04:24.424
Growing response from the state's churches.
00:04:24.424 --> 00:04:25.592
Cbn's brody carter breaks it all down.
00:04:25.592 --> 00:04:28.628
>> well, first and foremost it harms children.
00:04:28.628 --> 00:04:32.232
>> there's just no doubt about it.
00:04:32.232 --> 00:04:33.333
Bill 1312 would add misgendering and dead naming to
00:04:33.333 --> 00:04:35.835
Colorado's act if it becomes law.
00:04:35.835 --> 00:04:38.972
The bill defines misgendering intentionally referring to
00:04:38.972 --> 00:04:43.343
Someone using a different pronoun while dead naming means
00:04:43.343 --> 00:04:46.379
Purposely using their birth name rather than their chosen
00:04:46.379 --> 00:04:50.617
Name.
00:04:50.617 --> 00:04:51.718
>> at the center of this controversy a provision calling
00:04:51.818 --> 00:04:53.019
On courts to consider a parent using either of those toward
00:04:53.019 --> 00:04:55.522
Their child as coercive control in custody cases.
00:04:55.522 --> 00:04:58.625
It makes the state of colorado this sort of safe haven for
00:04:58.625 --> 00:05:05.732
This radical transgender insanity.
00:05:05.732 --> 00:05:06.900
Moreover, it tries to insert the state in really horrible
00:05:06.900 --> 00:05:13.440
Ways between parents and children that if a parent calls
00:05:13.440 --> 00:05:17.410
A child by the name that they gave them the day they were
00:05:17.410 --> 00:05:18.912
Born that that parent is guilty of child abuse and that that
00:05:18.912 --> 00:05:24.751
The implications of that are that the child could be removed
00:05:24.751 --> 00:05:26.219
From your custody.
00:05:26.219 --> 00:05:27.387
>> meanwhile, supporters like representative irs okc call a
00:05:27.487 --> 00:05:32.759
Vital step to protect transgender individuals from
00:05:32.759 --> 00:05:34.060
Harassment threats.
00:05:34.060 --> 00:05:36.563
>> and as colorado is increasingly viewed as refuge
00:05:36.563 --> 00:05:39.866
For trans and folks, this bill will protect parents states
00:05:39.866 --> 00:05:43.870
That are increasingly criminalizing the very act of
00:05:43.870 --> 00:05:45.171
Seeing child for who they are.
00:05:45.171 --> 00:05:48.341
>> in a bulletin insert for colorado churches the url c
00:05:48.341 --> 00:05:51.544
States if passed this bill will force people to language that
00:05:51.544 --> 00:05:54.948
Violates their consciences and religious beliefs.
00:05:54.948 --> 00:05:58.751
It would also expose individuals, ministries and
00:05:58.751 --> 00:06:00.053
Religious to legal action for simply affirming a biblical
00:06:00.053 --> 00:06:06.025
View of sex and gender in the name of jesus.
00:06:06.025 --> 00:06:09.929
>> faith leaders and conservative activists rallied
00:06:09.929 --> 00:06:13.399
At the colorado state capitol thursday standing against what
00:06:13.399 --> 00:06:16.503
They called the woke gender mob.
00:06:16.503 --> 00:06:17.737
National baptist leaders flew denver to join local churches
00:06:17.737 --> 00:06:21.341
In calling for the defense of children faith and free speech.
00:06:21.341 --> 00:06:25.278
>> and i'm just going to say one thing to the devil.
00:06:25.278 --> 00:06:28.348
This is god's state.
00:06:28.348 --> 00:06:32.318
>> across colorado, a grassroots movement called
00:06:32.318 --> 00:06:33.553
Fight 12 is gaining traction urging christians to engage in
00:06:33.553 --> 00:06:40.326
What faith leaders describe as a fundamental spiritual and
00:06:40.326 --> 00:06:41.728
Scripture conflict.
00:06:41.728 --> 00:06:44.531
>> pastor matt patrick says it's not about politics but
00:06:44.531 --> 00:06:48.368
Standing for biblical truth regardless of backlash.
00:06:48.368 --> 00:06:49.636
>> it would be a lot easier to not get up here and talk about
00:06:49.636 --> 00:06:53.573
Political.
00:06:53.573 --> 00:06:55.808
>> but we are the church and we must stand for truth and when
00:06:55.808 --> 00:07:00.046
The truth of god is being defied we must call it out.
00:07:00.046 --> 00:07:01.447
And my job here as a pastor is to tell you what is true.
00:07:01.447 --> 00:07:05.018
Right and from the word of god.
00:07:05.018 --> 00:07:07.787
>> the state should be using its authority good and to
00:07:07.787 --> 00:07:11.591
Restrain evil in this legislation.
00:07:11.591 --> 00:07:15.161
I would say it actually seeks to codify evil and that's
00:07:15.161 --> 00:07:19.632
Wrong.
00:07:19.632 --> 00:07:20.733
>> with a solid democrat majority in the colorado senate
00:07:20.833 --> 00:07:23.303
And governor jared polis indicating his likely support,
00:07:23.303 --> 00:07:27.407
House bill 1312 stands on the brink of becoming law.
00:07:27.407 --> 00:07:28.808
Significant questions, however, remain about its practical
00:07:28.808 --> 00:07:32.178
Application and the delicate balance between faith, parental
00:07:32.178 --> 00:07:35.915
Rights and individual identity .
00:07:35.915 --> 00:07:39.385
.
00:07:39.385 --> 00:07:40.053
>> i'm brody carter. cbn news.
00:07:40.153 --> 00:07:41.321
Israel is observing its annual memorial day this year has
00:07:41.321 --> 00:07:43.890
Special meaning since more than 800 soldiers have fallen in the
00:07:43.890 --> 00:07:47.393
Ongoing war with hamas and hezbollah.
00:07:47.393 --> 00:07:51.064
>> chris mitchell reports now from jerusalem.
00:07:51.064 --> 00:07:57.837
A siren wailed throughout israel wednesday evening to
00:07:57.837 --> 00:07:59.272
Mark the beginning of memorial day.
00:07:59.272 --> 00:08:02.709
Remembering the soldiers who gave their lives in wars and
00:08:02.709 --> 00:08:06.412
The victims of terrorist attacks.
00:08:06.412 --> 00:08:09.682
The opening ceremony took place at jerusalem's western wall.
00:08:09.682 --> 00:08:13.286
Relatives and friends are coming to military cemeteries
00:08:13.286 --> 00:08:14.654
Around country to remember the fallen and comfort one another.
00:08:14.654 --> 00:08:18.358
A special collection of black and white photos unveiled this
00:08:18.358 --> 00:08:22.061
Month show that from its founding in 1948, almost the
00:08:22.061 --> 00:08:27.967
Entire population has been expected to up arms to defend
00:08:27.967 --> 00:08:31.604
The country. enemies have frequently
00:08:31.604 --> 00:08:35.575
Launched wars to eliminate the jewish state.
00:08:35.575 --> 00:08:36.809
And nearly 30,000 soldiers and others have died in battle or
00:08:36.809 --> 00:08:41.948
At the hands of terrorists. their names are projected on
00:08:41.948 --> 00:08:45.451
The walls of jerusalem's old city.
00:08:45.451 --> 00:08:46.619
And their names also read in this hall of remembrance as
00:08:46.619 --> 00:08:49.822
Seen the brutal hamas attack on october seven, 2023.
00:08:49.822 --> 00:08:55.328
Terrorists consider even israel's children and babies
00:08:55.328 --> 00:08:59.465
Legitimate targets. as the war continues as idf
00:08:59.465 --> 00:09:03.736

Hud.gov attend.
00:09:08.341 --> 00:09:09.509
>> our enemies have misjudged our response so too has hamas
00:09:09.609 --> 00:09:12.211
Misjudged our determination to bring back the hostages and to
00:09:12.211 --> 00:09:16.683
Defeat it. these two missions are
00:09:16.683 --> 00:09:17.650
Intertwined. we will continue and intensify
00:09:17.650 --> 00:09:20.086
Our efforts until both are achieved.
00:09:20.086 --> 00:09:23.389
Israel's president isaac herzog warned that internal strife
00:09:23.389 --> 00:09:27.093
Also a threat and israelis must stand together.
00:09:27.093 --> 00:09:28.461

Unite and come together do not tear apart from within.

Do not destroy our home.

During israel's 77th independence day.
00:09:46.646 --> 00:09:49.382
That same collection of black and white photos shows israelis

00:11:13.565 --> 00:11:14.633
I looked up and i just see the bodies falling down.
00:11:14.633 --> 00:11:17.236
A survivor's tale. i thought to myself angel, i

00:11:35.787 --> 00:11:39.958
Violent past. one major challenge is the
00:11:39.958 --> 00:11:41.193
Plight of an indigenous people group displaced by drug wars.
00:11:41.193 --> 00:11:44.529
>> the bear of people forced from their ancestral lands now
00:11:44.529 --> 00:11:48.967
Suffer poverty hardship. cbn's brody carter takes us to
00:11:48.967 --> 00:11:52.471
Medellin to see how faith and community are transforming
00:11:52.471 --> 00:11:56.074
Lives. from 1985 to 2000, over 90,000
00:11:56.074 --> 00:12:02.581
People were murdered here in medellin, colombia.
00:12:02.581 --> 00:12:03.849
While this country has made incredible strides for freedom
00:12:03.849 --> 00:12:09.254
And safety quality of life, the heart of this city still
00:12:09.254 --> 00:12:13.292
Struggling and caring for the refugees and the least of these
00:12:13.292 --> 00:12:14.760
Now in the hands of those who are living out their faith.
00:12:14.760 --> 00:12:18.730
>> that includes the number people one of many indigenous
00:12:18.730 --> 00:12:21.433
Groups in colombia driven from their homeland in choco by drug
00:12:21.433 --> 00:12:25.337
Cartels and decades of ongoing violence.
00:12:25.337 --> 00:12:28.540
Many in this tribe live in medellin's poorest
00:12:28.540 --> 00:12:29.741
Neighborhoods. missionaries travis burkhalter
00:12:29.741 --> 00:12:33.645
And his wife beth first serve similar groups in the amazon
00:12:33.645 --> 00:12:36.748
Jungle before moving to the big city to help the emperor.
00:12:36.748 --> 00:12:39.918
>> we're in a neighborhood called nicky tao and these
00:12:39.918 --> 00:12:44.690
People have been displaced so they've had to leave their
00:12:44.690 --> 00:12:48.493
Communities to come to the city and only place that they can
00:12:48.493 --> 00:12:52.297
Find to live is in these places that are small.
00:12:52.297 --> 00:12:56.101
They share a bathroom and bedroom and they pay by the day
00:12:56.101 --> 00:13:00.072
. .
00:13:00.072 --> 00:13:01.173
>> sorry about how he says horrible but i ask you daddy.
00:13:01.273 --> 00:13:04.209
I had $6 a day to live here in this place for this room right
00:13:04.209 --> 00:13:11.650
Here cost $6 a it's that's $180 a month which is a lot of money
00:13:11.650 --> 00:13:17.923
That daily rent only affords what's called inkwell in otto's
00:13:17.923 --> 00:13:22.160
Cramped rooms with no kitchen or furniture only enough space
00:13:22.160 --> 00:13:25.497
For up to eight people and the mats are cardboard on which to
00:13:25.497 --> 00:13:29.034
Sleep many and bara families live in perpetual survival mode
00:13:29.034 --> 00:13:33.438
Waking up each wondering how they'll afford the rent or feed
00:13:33.438 --> 00:13:36.908
Their families in their culture when it comes to meals.
00:13:36.908 --> 00:13:40.479
Children eat last and proper hygiene happen leading to
00:13:40.479 --> 00:13:43.648
Malnutrition and other health issues.
00:13:43.648 --> 00:13:48.954
Kind of saying how a lot of this child has diarrhea and
00:13:48.954 --> 00:13:50.956
Many die from diseases that are typically preventable.
00:13:50.956 --> 00:13:52.324
Parents have asked travis to pray over their children
00:13:52.324 --> 00:13:55.827
Because their belief in animism the spirit world is not
00:13:55.827 --> 00:13:59.531
Working.
00:13:59.531 --> 00:14:00.699
>> the one mom that asked for prayer the first one actually
00:14:00.799 --> 00:14:02.801
Her husband is a shaman, a witch doctor.
00:14:02.801 --> 00:14:05.837
And so it's just ironic cool that she recognized a maybe we
00:14:05.837 --> 00:14:12.878
Have more power than even our own husband.
00:14:12.878 --> 00:14:16.882
>> while the mothers go out to beg and make enough money,
00:14:16.882 --> 00:14:20.218
Travis and beth welcome their children at casa and bera a
00:14:20.218 --> 00:14:24.623
Safe space for children to hang out school, watch tv and eat
00:14:24.623 --> 00:14:28.427
Breakfast.
00:14:28.427 --> 00:14:29.528
>> upstairs at school they learn to speak spanish as well
00:14:29.628 --> 00:14:32.397
As hear the gospel message.
00:14:32.397 --> 00:14:36.935
>> you can go now. me go.
00:14:36.935 --> 00:14:37.936
Okay man.
00:14:37.936 --> 00:14:40.572
>> because of the stress you know the moms have to get up
00:14:40.572 --> 00:14:42.374
Early. they have to go out to the
00:14:42.374 --> 00:14:44.810
Street where they beg all day. they come home late at night
00:14:44.810 --> 00:14:48.447
And sometimes their husbands are drunk and or beat.
00:14:48.447 --> 00:14:51.950
There's a lot of violence, family violence and then the
00:14:51.950 --> 00:14:53.385
Kids i think feel that pressure as well.
00:14:53.385 --> 00:14:56.021
They feel the stress. it's difficult even with the
00:14:56.021 --> 00:14:59.324
Kids that come to our ministry house.
00:14:59.324 --> 00:15:00.559
>> but sometimes they come and they just want to sleep in the
00:15:00.559 --> 00:15:03.495
Morning. they don't want to do their
00:15:03.495 --> 00:15:04.663
Schoolwork because they've been up all night the streets
00:15:04.663 --> 00:15:06.631
Begging with their parents filled with love and desperate
00:15:06.631 --> 00:15:08.033
To share the gospel with these people.
00:15:08.033 --> 00:15:11.002
Travis learned their language and barricaded of alto and
00:15:11.002 --> 00:15:15.073
Dakota. he's likely one of the only
00:15:15.073 --> 00:15:16.108
Outsiders speak in sidelining booboo.
00:15:16.108 --> 00:15:20.011
>> it's not a written language and has no concept of words for
00:15:20.011 --> 00:15:22.714
Gratitude, faith or salvation.
00:15:22.714 --> 00:15:23.448
>> no worthy.
00:15:23.448 --> 00:15:27.352
>> cardoza so he works with translators to create stories
00:15:27.352 --> 00:15:29.921
In their language like this one about the baptism of jesus.
00:15:29.921 --> 00:15:34.860
>> they stole he said i never i don't know about this but i
00:15:34.860 --> 00:15:39.498
Think yes, i like it. i like carrying god's story
00:15:39.498 --> 00:15:40.899
About.
00:15:40.899 --> 00:15:42.734
>> god are apple and bearer women typically beg or sell
00:15:42.734 --> 00:15:46.037
Their native jewelry to tourists.
00:15:46.037 --> 00:15:47.239
That led beth to come up with a plan about four years ago
00:15:47.239 --> 00:15:50.008
Helping pave the way for more dignified work.
00:15:50.008 --> 00:15:53.378
>> well, what if i help them come up with some cute designs
00:15:53.378 --> 00:15:55.147
And if could just sell one pair of earrings they could make
00:15:55.147 --> 00:15:58.016
Enough money to pay for their daily rent and their daily
00:15:58.016 --> 00:16:01.419
Food. that was like my basic goal.
00:16:01.419 --> 00:16:04.990
>> the idea sparked the imara bead project packaging jewelry
00:16:04.990 --> 00:16:08.293
To sell worldwide, helping fight poverty and restoring to
00:16:08.293 --> 00:16:12.497
These families one bead at a time.
00:16:12.497 --> 00:16:13.665
>> we know that god has given us the space all of these
00:16:13.665 --> 00:16:16.501
Things that we're doing so we can be able to share the
00:16:16.501 --> 00:16:20.539
Gospel.
00:16:20.539 --> 00:16:21.673
>> we obviously we hope that more people will come to faith
00:16:21.773 --> 00:16:23.808
In christ. our dream is to plant a church
00:16:23.808 --> 00:16:26.811
Amongst our people group and that will have various
00:16:26.811 --> 00:16:28.113
Believers and be able to make disciples among them.
00:16:28.113 --> 00:16:32.217
>> casa ambra isn't just a shelter for these people it's a
00:16:32.217 --> 00:16:35.420
Lifeline. they're empowered through
00:16:35.420 --> 00:16:36.421
Education, crucial health and hygiene classes.
00:16:36.421 --> 00:16:39.224
The missionaries working hand hand with local churches
00:16:39.224 --> 00:16:42.427
Fulfill their shared desire to offer abundant life to those
00:16:42.427 --> 00:16:46.631
Often overlooked.
00:16:46.631 --> 00:16:47.699
>> tanya limited but she says it's very hard to live.
00:16:47.799 --> 00:16:52.170
Yes. but those very hard to pay the
00:16:52.170 --> 00:16:55.173
Rent every day. so she wants people to know
00:16:55.173 --> 00:16:58.176
That they get by virtue of getting yes help her.
00:16:58.176 --> 00:17:02.180
>> today beth and travis navigate the complex visa
00:17:02.180 --> 00:17:05.483
Process a constant hurdle in their years of dedicated.
00:17:05.483 --> 00:17:08.853
Still their commitment remains unwavering as.
00:17:08.853 --> 00:17:12.357
>> they offer a challenge to others.
00:17:12.357 --> 00:17:13.625
I wish everyone every believer could come and just spend a day
00:17:13.625 --> 00:17:17.429
With us. just walk around, see the
00:17:17.429 --> 00:17:20.932
People to see our love for the people but then then just to
00:17:20.932 --> 00:17:25.370
See their needs not just the poverty but the spiritual and
00:17:25.370 --> 00:17:28.073
The sickness to see and be a part their lives for just a
00:17:28.073 --> 00:17:32.377
Day.
00:17:32.377 --> 00:17:33.345

Isn't it humbling and inspiring to see what they're doing and
00:17:43.855 --> 00:17:47.092
Doing for children and learning a language has no words or
00:17:47.092 --> 00:17:51.129
Concepts for gratitude faith or salvation.

Gang when he was just 12 years old.
00:18:11.683 --> 00:18:14.119
Before long he was committing crimes.
00:18:14.119 --> 00:18:17.956
Watch how his life is transformed over a bowl of

Hearing muse and so i decided and have had the privilege to
00:19:15.428 --> 00:19:19.365
Sit down with her away from the demands of the studio and just
00:19:19.365 --> 00:19:23.269
Talk with her heart to heart.
00:19:23.269 --> 00:19:25.238
>> take a look.
00:19:25.238 --> 00:19:29.309
>> hey everyone. all right.

We are here in downtown norfolk.

We are at the neon off of granby street.
00:19:34.247 --> 00:19:37.550
I actually used to live around this area and is such a cool
00:19:37.550 --> 00:19:41.187
Artsy district.
00:19:41.187 --> 00:19:42.155

And support all the time. i'm excited to share with you
00:19:56.903 --> 00:19:59.806
Guys that this is my very first one on one chat with her.
00:19:59.806 --> 00:20:02.942
Today we get to the heart behind orphan's promise the
00:20:02.942 --> 00:20:07.247
Organization and ministry she founded almost 20 years ago.
00:20:07.247 --> 00:20:11.017
They been doing incredible work for children, women and
00:20:11.017 --> 00:20:15.388
Families again for almost 20 years.
00:20:15.388 --> 00:20:18.992
So without further ado this is my chat the terry music.
00:20:18.992 --> 00:20:28.401
I first just wanted to say that this is such a cool moment for
00:20:28.401 --> 00:20:32.305
Me personally just because well first off not only are you the
00:20:32.305 --> 00:20:36.543
Terry music i mean come on, come on.
00:20:36.543 --> 00:20:38.811
>> but it's really cool for me because i have always had a
00:20:38.811 --> 00:20:42.949
Passion for for empowering women and children and girls in
00:20:42.949 --> 00:20:47.554
Other countries and that's something that i just
00:20:47.554 --> 00:20:51.624
Absolutely love about orphan's promise that you guys really
00:20:51.624 --> 00:20:55.161
Are doing incredible work to empower women but give them
00:20:55.161 --> 00:20:59.432
Dignity in countries where they don't they don't value women,
00:20:59.432 --> 00:21:06.706
They don't value girls are restoring dignity to families
00:21:06.706 --> 00:21:13.680
To children, to little girls to little boys and to women and
00:21:13.680 --> 00:21:15.181
Single moms and grandmothers and everything like that.
00:21:15.181 --> 00:21:18.851
>> you know, it's dignity is we were created to have that and
00:21:18.851 --> 00:21:25.325
Then the fall dances.
00:21:25.325 --> 00:21:29.729
>> yes, adam was involved in that too but true but i do
00:21:29.729 --> 00:21:33.032
Think that when we don't have dignity we figure out who we
00:21:33.032 --> 00:21:37.070
Are and what our purposes and so, you know, you're right in
00:21:37.070 --> 00:21:41.407
Many cultures dignity is denied girls, women but honestly in
00:21:41.407 --> 00:21:49.048
Third world countries dignity is denied people who are in
00:21:49.048 --> 00:21:52.952
Poverty poverty does things to people and so you know, it's
00:21:52.952 --> 00:21:57.323
Just a privilege go in and to first of all meet just regular
00:21:57.323 --> 00:22:04.230
You know, the kind of things that get in the way of figuring
00:22:04.230 --> 00:22:08.034
Out who we are. hunger and lack of education
00:22:08.034 --> 00:22:12.038
And lack of the knowledge of a god.
00:22:12.038 --> 00:22:13.272
>> so that was from the very beginning.
00:22:13.272 --> 00:22:16.342
One of our first commitments was that we would want to do
00:22:16.342 --> 00:22:20.613
Those things than quiet the growling stomach.
00:22:20.613 --> 00:22:25.118
Yeah. and that you know, bring the
00:22:25.118 --> 00:22:26.119
Brain to life. yeah.
00:22:26.119 --> 00:22:27.854
>> and to dream but also in the midst of that that we never
00:22:27.854 --> 00:22:31.791
Never do that without telling them who god is, how much he
00:22:31.791 --> 00:22:35.928
Loves them that they work created with dignity
00:22:35.928 --> 00:22:39.532
Intentionally with purpose.
00:22:39.532 --> 00:22:40.433
>> yeah. because that's what sets people
00:22:40.433 --> 00:22:43.670
Free. you know, the hunger be stayed
00:22:43.670 --> 00:22:47.006
For a time and the mind continues to be need to be
00:22:47.006 --> 00:22:50.843
Stimulated. but once we who we are in god
00:22:50.843 --> 00:22:54.447
There's a hope in that that sticks out right the middle of
00:22:54.447 --> 00:22:58.551
The darkness in the middle of the desolation or the
00:22:58.551 --> 00:22:59.919
Desperation and says you can be and i love that.
00:22:59.919 --> 00:23:03.322
Yeah i another thing that i love about orphans promise and
00:23:03.322 --> 00:23:07.026
Obviously we host different shows 700 club 700 club
00:23:07.026 --> 00:23:10.563
Interactive and i see so many amazing stories that orphans
00:23:10.563 --> 00:23:14.233
Promise is doing around the world and what i love is that
00:23:14.233 --> 00:23:17.804
You guys don't necessarily give families handout but you give
00:23:17.804 --> 00:23:21.708
Them a hand up is like what you guys like to say and i think
00:23:21.708 --> 00:23:25.144
It's important because you know you're them something to to do
00:23:25.144 --> 00:23:29.348
To learn that's going to not just benefit them in the moment
00:23:29.348 --> 00:23:35.588
But also long term.
00:23:35.588 --> 00:23:36.723
>> for example, i've seen stories from orphans promise
00:23:36.723 --> 00:23:39.826
Where it's single mothers, single grandmothers, their
00:23:39.826 --> 00:23:43.429
Children orphans promise. you guys want to keep families
00:23:43.429 --> 00:23:47.333
Together because you know how powerful family unit is to
00:23:47.333 --> 00:23:51.738
Culture and society. but you go when and you help
00:23:51.738 --> 00:23:55.575
These mothers and grandmothers. you give them a business, you
00:23:55.575 --> 00:23:58.978
Teach them how to do things that immediately the trajectory
00:23:58.978 --> 00:24:03.149
Of their family hopefully gets them out or out of poverty.
00:24:03.149 --> 00:24:06.552
But then in the long run you're dignifying the way these people
00:24:06.552 --> 00:24:10.823
Are looking at women and children and families.
00:24:10.823 --> 00:24:15.461
>> can you just talk more about that?
00:24:15.461 --> 00:24:16.696
Well, isn't that with dignity is dignity is i can, i am and
00:24:16.696 --> 00:24:22.702
I, i i dream and those dreams are possible and so but family
00:24:22.702 --> 00:24:29.942
That's another deal altogether because you know, family is the
00:24:29.942 --> 00:24:36.716
Thing that that gives us a sense of belonging, a sense of
00:24:36.716 --> 00:24:40.620
Where i from and as a mom of adopted children i see that
00:24:40.620 --> 00:24:47.660
Even when god plants you in safe place and a good place and
00:24:47.660 --> 00:24:51.497
A place where love and where you're wanted there are still
00:24:51.497 --> 00:24:55.768
Abandonment issues and i think taking children out of families
00:24:55.768 --> 00:25:02.775
Well we don't take them but when they come out of families
00:25:02.775 --> 00:25:06.612
Because of hardship, of course there's healing.
00:25:06.612 --> 00:25:10.316
>> that's why they need to know jesus.
00:25:10.316 --> 00:25:13.519
There are no mistakes with god. you know he knew us before he
00:25:13.519 --> 00:25:17.089
Knows us now and he knows our tomorrow.
00:25:17.089 --> 00:25:18.391
Yeah, but family is so significant and how do we
00:25:18.391 --> 00:25:22.261
Expect who come from broken homes to know how to have how
00:25:22.261 --> 00:25:28.801
To be family in the future if we don't have a family setting
00:25:28.801 --> 00:25:32.872
For them?
00:25:32.872 --> 00:25:34.006
>> so whether it's grandma and grandpa or a single mom or a
00:25:34.106 --> 00:25:36.976
Single dad in some instances yeah.
00:25:36.976 --> 00:25:39.846
>> or a family setting you know we have some places where there
00:25:39.846 --> 00:25:43.382
Are so many children without family, especially places where
00:25:43.382 --> 00:25:44.884
There's been war, famine or great loss.
00:25:44.884 --> 00:25:48.521
>> yeah. you know to have the
00:25:48.521 --> 00:25:51.324
Opportunity to take a widow for example or a single and say we
00:25:51.324 --> 00:25:55.461
Want you to be the mom to, this small group of children and you
00:25:55.461 --> 00:26:02.301
Know we're going to make that both a business for you but a
00:26:02.301 --> 00:26:03.936
Calling for we're going to teach you how to do that.
00:26:03.936 --> 00:26:07.340
We're going to make sure you have everything you need to do
00:26:07.340 --> 00:26:10.243
It well but we need these children to belong here.
00:26:10.243 --> 00:26:13.946
Mm hmm. mm hmm.
00:26:13.946 --> 00:26:15.114
You know, i think i think everybody that you don't have
00:26:15.114 --> 00:26:18.217
To be somebody who's well-educated to understand the
00:26:18.217 --> 00:26:21.587
Value of family. but sometimes you can't control
00:26:21.587 --> 00:26:25.091
What happens with that. i cannot tell you how many
00:26:25.091 --> 00:26:29.729
Grandparents i see who are raising children and i say just
00:26:29.729 --> 00:26:33.432
In third world countries in the united states of america and so
00:26:33.432 --> 00:26:37.637
We've lost some of the commitment to that.
00:26:37.637 --> 00:26:41.240
You know, it's what made generation past strong.
00:26:41.240 --> 00:26:45.411
They got it. they knew it not that people
00:26:45.411 --> 00:26:48.514
Ever have families that fell apart but for the most part it
00:26:48.514 --> 00:26:52.652
Was frowned upon.
00:26:52.652 --> 00:26:53.686
>> you know, it wasn't just part of how we live.
00:26:53.686 --> 00:26:56.389
>> i don't i'm not suggesting that people stay in difficult
00:26:56.389 --> 00:27:00.493
Situations that need to be interfered with but we need to
00:27:00.493 --> 00:27:07.133
Provide for them.
00:27:07.133 --> 00:27:07.900
>> yeah. and so to be to just say
00:27:07.900 --> 00:27:11.137
Children are in families, you know that was really the
00:27:11.137 --> 00:27:14.573
Initial really the thing that broke my heart about adoption
00:27:14.573 --> 00:27:18.277
When we went to get our daughters from ukraine.
00:27:18.277 --> 00:27:19.645
I remember driving away and as we drove away with our three
00:27:19.645 --> 00:27:23.215
Girls after a month of being there and getting to know some
00:27:23.215 --> 00:27:26.986
Of these children and then looking back and all these
00:27:26.986 --> 00:27:33.926
Stories that was just pressed up against the window saying
00:27:33.926 --> 00:27:36.862
When is somebody coming for me and knowing that like 1% or
00:27:36.862 --> 00:27:43.169
Less will ever be adopted this was an orphanage of 350 kids
00:27:43.169 --> 00:27:47.606
And we were just taking three away.
00:27:47.606 --> 00:27:50.242
>> wow. and my heart broke.
00:27:50.242 --> 00:27:51.143
I thought god who goes for them?
00:27:51.143 --> 00:27:54.013
>> yeah, well i knew you know, i couldn't wait.
00:27:54.013 --> 00:27:57.717
>> thank you. it's the blight of my life i
00:27:57.717 --> 00:28:01.454
Wouldn't want for that.
00:28:01.454 --> 00:28:02.621
>> i would never cry and this is the aftermath of that.
00:28:02.621 --> 00:28:07.827
>> never say that, right? never say never anyway, you
00:28:07.827 --> 00:28:11.430
Know i that was how the concept of a orphans promise came to be
00:28:11.430 --> 00:28:16.168
Because in thinking about it we said what could we do to make
00:28:16.168 --> 00:28:23.642
Life different for these children that are not going to
00:28:23.642 --> 00:28:26.612
Have families that are not going to come out of this
00:28:26.612 --> 00:28:28.014
Setting? well, first of all they are
00:28:28.014 --> 00:28:30.750
Going to come out at 16 but they come out with no idea
00:28:30.750 --> 00:28:34.353
Families 16 know, no understanding of how to manage
00:28:34.353 --> 00:28:38.691
Money, how to cook, how to keep clothes clean, nothing.
00:28:38.691 --> 00:28:42.995
It's all done for you in an orphanage.
00:28:42.995 --> 00:28:46.065
>> yeah. so we said what could we do to
00:28:46.065 --> 00:28:47.333
Elevate them? mm hmm?
00:28:47.333 --> 00:28:50.302
We said well, if they knew some english you know that would be
00:28:50.302 --> 00:28:54.340
More than most of the kids in their environment know and if
00:28:54.340 --> 00:28:58.244
They knew how to use computers well that would job option.
00:28:58.244 --> 00:29:01.547
And then we had what we called the school of life and it was
00:29:01.547 --> 00:29:06.085
All these things that i just mentioned.
00:29:06.085 --> 00:29:10.056
How do you manage money? how do you how do you clean
00:29:10.056 --> 00:29:11.424
Your clothes and who is god who is god to me and who am to god?
00:29:11.424 --> 00:29:16.996
And so in time though those were three classes that are
00:29:16.996 --> 00:29:21.333
Centers the class that was the most popular was the school of
00:29:21.333 --> 00:29:25.204
Life because they started see that their lives had purpose
00:29:25.204 --> 00:29:28.574
And meaning and that there was a god who was a father who
00:29:28.574 --> 00:29:32.678
Would never leave them or forsake them and who loved them
00:29:32.678 --> 00:29:36.082
Indefinitely and in spite of all else who wanted to see them
00:29:36.082 --> 00:29:39.785
Succeed and that powerful.
00:29:39.785 --> 00:29:42.855
>> yeah well you just saw part one of a five part series
00:29:42.855 --> 00:29:50.830

Saint like she is a saint and we just we talked about, you

Her kids and her family's impact and starting a nonprofit
00:30:24.096 --> 00:30:27.600
That's almost 20 years old. it's just i mean we go into her
00:30:27.600 --> 00:30:32.004
Personal life and personal journey to obedience.
00:30:32.004 --> 00:30:34.974
You know, what is it like truly surrendering and saying yes to
00:30:34.974 --> 00:30:39.011
All that god is asking of you obviously lots of tears were
00:30:39.011 --> 00:30:43.349
Shed as well but good good tears right here and the fruit
00:30:43.349 --> 00:30:44.817

Orphans promises. if you can tell ashley and i

And the staff of cbn hold terri in very high esteem and we can
00:30:51.657 --> 00:30:55.394
Never compliment her when she's sitting with us because she
00:30:55.394 --> 00:30:58.931
Tells us to be quiet but she is the off air as she is on.
00:30:58.931 --> 00:31:02.434
I think she would make a great first lady of the united states
00:31:02.434 --> 00:31:05.671
Of anything.
00:31:05.671 --> 00:31:06.505

00:43:40.948 --> 00:43:44.751
Seeing the gang members even asian gang members with money
00:43:44.751 --> 00:43:47.955
They had cars, clothes notoriety.
00:43:47.955 --> 00:43:51.692
There was just some kind of like pool and on top of that i
00:43:51.692 --> 00:43:55.696
Noticed they were very tight knit.
00:43:55.696 --> 00:43:56.897
They were very family oriented feeling at home with his new
00:43:56.897 --> 00:43:59.566
Gang family, johnny began committing violent crimes.
00:43:59.566 --> 00:44:03.170
At 12 years old johnny was sent to a detention center for the
00:44:03.170 --> 00:44:06.773
Worst of the worst over four years there.
00:44:06.773 --> 00:44:10.878
He witnessed sexual assault was in more than 40 fights and
00:44:10.878 --> 00:44:14.882
Became even more hardened.
00:44:14.882 --> 00:44:15.849
>> when i saw that i was like you know what?
00:44:15.849 --> 00:44:19.386
Even if i die like i'm not going to let these step on me.
00:44:19.386 --> 00:44:22.389
At 16 he was released as a 17 year old.
00:44:22.389 --> 00:44:25.425
Johnny was tried as an and sent to federal prison for assault
00:44:25.425 --> 00:44:29.163
With a deadly weapon.
00:44:29.163 --> 00:44:31.999
>> he knew being locked up in the penitentiary was another
00:44:31.999 --> 00:44:33.634
Level. i was scared.
00:44:33.634 --> 00:44:36.570
You're now in there with people who are like, you know, adults
00:44:36.570 --> 00:44:39.907
And they're crazy.
00:44:39.907 --> 00:44:41.074
>> you know they'll kill you. he served and a half years of
00:44:41.175 --> 00:44:43.443
His ten year sentence and wondered what real life looked
00:44:43.443 --> 00:44:47.147
Like on the outside. i just felt this uncertain.
00:44:47.147 --> 00:44:51.185
I had seen people who had completely been rehabilitated
00:44:51.185 --> 00:44:54.755
In prison and they say i'm never going to come back here
00:44:54.755 --> 00:44:56.356
But six months later they're back like it's it's not it's
00:44:56.356 --> 00:45:02.196
Not hard to come back. you know, it's very hard to
00:45:02.196 --> 00:45:03.564
Stay out. so like i was just existing at
00:45:03.564 --> 00:45:06.667
That time and i felt a lot of like emptiness inside of my
00:45:06.667 --> 00:45:09.970
Heart.
00:45:09.970 --> 00:45:10.771
>> johnny tried living a normal life.
00:45:10.871 --> 00:45:13.740
>> i applied to like a lot of places nobody called me back.
00:45:13.740 --> 00:45:17.878
So at that point i really felt like a rage again in anger and
00:45:17.878 --> 00:45:22.549
I'm like, okay, if you're not going to give me a chance then
00:45:22.549 --> 00:45:26.186
I'm going to just go and live the way that i know.
00:45:26.186 --> 00:45:27.521
On the streets he was making 30 to $40000 a month selling
00:45:27.521 --> 00:45:32.559
Drugs. for johnny it enough.
00:45:32.559 --> 00:45:36.063
I still felt that emptiness still felt that void which was
00:45:36.063 --> 00:45:39.967
Like blew my mind. you know, i thought if i made
00:45:39.967 --> 00:45:41.368
Some money i'll be okay, you know?
00:45:41.368 --> 00:45:44.638
>> during a robbery attempt of rival drug dealer johnny's
00:45:44.638 --> 00:45:47.841
Fellow gang member was shot. a few days later another friend
00:45:47.841 --> 00:45:51.845
Was killed. so it's just like death all
00:45:51.845 --> 00:45:55.182
Around me and i really started to think like like i never
00:45:55.182 --> 00:45:58.385
Really thought about death because i was so caught up in
00:45:58.385 --> 00:46:02.422
The moment.
00:46:02.422 --> 00:46:03.357
>> his mother who became a christian while was
00:46:03.457 --> 00:46:05.926
Incarcerated, asked johnny for a ride to church.
00:46:05.926 --> 00:46:09.930
My pastors say hey johnny heard a lot about you.
00:46:09.930 --> 00:46:11.298
You know glad that you're home. your mom has kind of talked
00:46:11.298 --> 00:46:14.468
About you a little bit but you know, would you like to have
00:46:14.468 --> 00:46:20.073
Some black bean noodles? and that's actually my
00:46:20.073 --> 00:46:21.341
Favorite. you know, it's like my favorite
00:46:21.341 --> 00:46:24.711
Dish.
00:46:24.711 --> 00:46:25.746
>> so i just parked car went inside a the black bean
00:46:25.846 --> 00:46:29.249
Noodles.
00:46:29.249 --> 00:46:29.983
>> it was really really delicious.
00:46:30.083 --> 00:46:31.952
And he starts to kind of ask me some questions.
00:46:31.952 --> 00:46:35.222
>> the pastor shared the good news of jesus johnny and spoke
00:46:35.222 --> 00:46:39.092
Very directly about his need for a savior and he talked
00:46:39.092 --> 00:46:43.730
About emptiness void.
00:46:43.730 --> 00:46:44.931
>> you know this feeling i felt it was as if he was like a
00:46:44.931 --> 00:46:48.001
Dissecting my heart and giving me the antidote.
00:46:48.001 --> 00:46:51.672
It's almost like a light bulb clicked and it turned on.
00:46:51.672 --> 00:46:55.042
Johnny gave his life to christ and noticed a complete change
00:46:55.042 --> 00:46:58.879
In his life and in his heart.
00:46:58.879 --> 00:46:59.846
>> a friend told johnny the change is clear.
00:46:59.846 --> 00:47:02.916
He told me he's a you know it's obvious that you're you're so
00:47:02.916 --> 00:47:06.453
Peaceful like you're not what you used to be.
00:47:06.453 --> 00:47:10.157
>> you know he's like i could see that like emanating out of
00:47:10.157 --> 00:47:11.725
You. he has since reconciled with
00:47:11.725 --> 00:47:13.927
His father who has also become a.
00:47:13.927 --> 00:47:17.431
Today he's podcasting and ministering prisons.
00:47:17.431 --> 00:47:21.234
>> i think god has really led my life to put me in a position
00:47:21.234 --> 00:47:25.038
Of being like in the bottom of the bottom at the lowest of the
00:47:25.038 --> 00:47:29.209
Lows going to prison and just drug everything bang and
00:47:29.209 --> 00:47:32.913
Everything. and i feel like god did that i
00:47:32.913 --> 00:47:37.017
Could understand people's hearts like different levels
00:47:37.017 --> 00:47:38.385
You not everyone's been to prison but we're all
00:47:38.385 --> 00:47:41.455
Interconnect to by sin and struggle.
00:47:41.455 --> 00:47:45.592
There is hope but it's not in this world.
00:47:45.592 --> 00:47:48.762
>> it's not in money. it's not in fame.
00:47:48.762 --> 00:47:49.963
It's actually in god alone.
00:47:49.963 --> 00:47:52.632
>> and that's just what i'm here to do.
00:47:52.632 --> 00:47:53.867
To shed light on their you may not have lived a life like
00:47:53.867 --> 00:47:58.972
Johnny's but he said something that is so true.
00:47:58.972 --> 00:48:02.409
>> we're all connected by sin and struggle.
00:48:02.409 --> 00:48:05.712
>> sometimes we stumble our way through life.
00:48:05.712 --> 00:48:06.947
Sometimes we make decisions with consequences that last for
00:48:06.947 --> 00:48:10.684
Years.
00:48:10.684 --> 00:48:13.420
>> but he is so wise and right on that we all have a sin
00:48:13.420 --> 00:48:17.691
Problem in common. paul said all of us all of us
00:48:17.691 --> 00:48:21.828
Have fallen short of the glory of god.
00:48:21.828 --> 00:48:25.198
That's you. that's me.
00:48:25.198 --> 00:48:25.999
That's everyone. we all fall short.
00:48:25.999 --> 00:48:28.668
Other scriptures say all of us like sheep have gone astray.
00:48:28.668 --> 00:48:36.076
That was me. that is me somedays all of us
00:48:36.076 --> 00:48:40.213
Have this problem the sin problem.
00:48:40.213 --> 00:48:41.381
But you know one of the most beautiful things jesus said
00:48:41.381 --> 00:48:44.484
It's found in the gospel of john.
00:48:44.484 --> 00:48:45.485
>> he said all here's that word in all.
00:48:45.485 --> 00:48:48.755
>> that's me that's you all who come to me.
00:48:48.755 --> 00:48:52.826
Jesus said i will never drive away.
00:48:52.826 --> 00:48:56.029
Isn't beautiful.
00:48:56.029 --> 00:48:59.099
>> johnny didn't clean himself up.
00:48:59.099 --> 00:49:00.367
Get act together say once i get my life in order i'll approach
00:49:00.367 --> 00:49:06.406
God surrender myself to him give him my heart.
00:49:06.406 --> 00:49:07.641
Give him i am he said lord take me as i am you know the
00:49:07.641 --> 00:49:14.648
Condition of my heart you know i'm a sinner.
00:49:14.648 --> 00:49:17.350
I surrender to you because all of us like sheep have gone
00:49:17.350 --> 00:49:22.022
Astray. but that's the promise from
00:49:22.022 --> 00:49:23.056
Jesus. he will not resist us when we
00:49:23.056 --> 00:49:26.026
Seek him with a sincere heart.
00:49:26.026 --> 00:49:28.862
>> if have a stirring in your soul and it troubles you
00:49:28.862 --> 00:49:33.633
Because you feel like oh i this attachment to the world but i
00:49:33.633 --> 00:49:37.404
Feel like god's calling me or i want god in my life that is a
00:49:37.404 --> 00:49:40.740
Good thing. don't run from it.
00:49:40.740 --> 00:49:44.444
>> the bible says god has placed eternity in our hearts
00:49:44.444 --> 00:49:48.181
We have a desire to fellowship god to know we're loved and to
00:49:48.181 --> 00:49:52.285
Love him back, psalmist said as the dear panties.
00:49:52.285 --> 00:49:56.590
So my soul for you. now we see testimonies like
00:49:56.590 --> 00:50:03.530
Johnny's in which god helps change not only our heart but
00:50:03.530 --> 00:50:04.898
The week after week, months, years things begin to change.
00:50:04.898 --> 00:50:11.371
Johnny is a significant influence especially for young
00:50:11.371 --> 00:50:14.241
On social media. he's really impacting lives but
00:50:14.241 --> 00:50:18.345
. .
00:50:18.345 --> 00:50:19.379
It's not just about our daily life that god changes.
00:50:19.479 --> 00:50:20.614
We are set for eternity. we confess our sins and go to
00:50:20.614 --> 00:50:23.450
The cross. that's what it's about.
00:50:23.450 --> 00:50:24.551
That's what separates from everything else the world
00:50:24.551 --> 00:50:27.087
Offers. he sacrificed himself for our
00:50:27.087 --> 00:50:30.657
Sin problem because we all fall short.
00:50:30.657 --> 00:50:34.561
He said to the father i will sacrifice my life.
00:50:34.561 --> 00:50:35.962
I'll lay it down because you love humanity.
00:50:35.962 --> 00:50:38.565
