- - Matt Crouch: This "Behind the
- 00:00:19.070 --> 00:00:19.290
- Scenes," we welcome you right
- 00:00:19.290 --> 00:00:22.140
- here to studio C.
- 00:00:22.140 --> 00:00:24.060
- Our guest, Franklin Graham,
- 00:00:24.060 --> 00:00:26.110
- you are president
- 00:00:26.110 --> 00:00:28.140
- of the Billy Graham Association
- 00:00:28.140 --> 00:00:30.180
- and Samaritan's Purse.
- 00:00:30.180 --> 00:00:32.190
- We were talking before we
- 00:00:32.190 --> 00:00:34.210
- started today, and I want you to
- 00:00:36.070 --> 00:00:39.070
- know that you're in the original
- 00:00:39.070 --> 00:00:41.220
- studio.
- 00:00:41.220 --> 00:00:43.110
- Now, look around.
- 00:00:43.110 --> 00:00:44.030
- It looks a little different
- 00:00:44.030 --> 00:00:44.280
- nowadays, you know?
- 00:00:44.280 --> 00:00:45.250
- It's real different.
- 00:00:45.250 --> 00:00:47.150
- And--but this studio, and I love
- 00:00:48.070 --> 00:00:51.070
- that big wide shot, was the
- 00:00:51.070 --> 00:00:54.020
- original studio that the first
- 00:00:54.020 --> 00:00:56.290
- time my parents,
- 00:00:56.290 --> 00:00:58.050
- Paul and Jane Crouch,
- 00:00:58.050 --> 00:01:00.030
- invited you to sit with
- 00:01:00.030 --> 00:01:01.210
- them and share what you've been
- 00:01:01.210 --> 00:01:02.210
- doing, you would have walked
- 00:01:02.210 --> 00:01:04.080
- into this studio in what year?
- 00:01:04.080 --> 00:01:06.120
- - Franklin Graham: Probably had
- 00:01:06.120 --> 00:01:07.040
- been 1979, '80, somewhere in
- 00:01:07.060 --> 00:01:10.060
- there.
- 00:01:10.060 --> 00:01:10.270
- - Matt: Okay.
- 00:01:10.270 --> 00:01:11.170
- So, how did you and my parents
- 00:01:11.170 --> 00:01:14.070
- meet?
- 00:01:14.070 --> 00:01:15.060
- - Franklin: I met--we were
- 00:01:15.060 --> 00:01:16.010
- working Samaritan's Purse.
- 00:01:16.010 --> 00:01:17.190
- We were very small, just a
- 00:01:17.190 --> 00:01:18.230
- handful of us at that time,
- 00:01:18.230 --> 00:01:20.240
- working in Southeast Asia with
- 00:01:20.240 --> 00:01:23.080
- the refugees that were coming
- 00:01:23.080 --> 00:01:24.130
- out of Vietnam, went into
- 00:01:24.130 --> 00:01:26.240
- Cambodia at that time.
- 00:01:26.240 --> 00:01:28.280
- And your parents heard that I
- 00:01:28.280 --> 00:01:30.090
- was working there, and they
- 00:01:30.090 --> 00:01:32.060
- invited me to come by and meet
- 00:01:33.030 --> 00:01:36.030
- with them.
- 00:01:36.030 --> 00:01:36.180
- I flew into Los Angeles, and
- 00:01:36.180 --> 00:01:38.050
- took a car down here.
- 00:01:38.050 --> 00:01:40.030
- And they interviewed on their
- 00:01:40.030 --> 00:01:42.140
- program.
- 00:01:42.140 --> 00:01:43.090
- - Matt: So, we're talking
- 00:01:43.090 --> 00:01:44.030
- 35 years ago.
- 00:01:44.030 --> 00:01:46.250
- So, the tradition continues.
- 00:01:46.250 --> 00:01:48.090
- We're talking about Samaritan's
- 00:01:48.090 --> 00:01:49.150
- Purse today.
- 00:01:49.150 --> 00:01:50.240
- Our guest, Franklin Graham,
- 00:01:50.240 --> 00:01:52.040
- thank you for coming out to
- 00:01:52.040 --> 00:01:52.250
- California.
- 00:01:52.250 --> 00:01:54.060
- We're going to be talking now,
- 00:01:54.060 --> 00:01:55.110
- Franklin, about Operation Heal
- 00:01:55.110 --> 00:01:57.140
- Our Patriots.
- 00:01:57.140 --> 00:01:58.270
- If that's a new term to some
- 00:01:58.270 --> 00:02:00.130
- viewing now, catch them up to
- 00:02:00.230 --> 00:02:03.230
- speed.
- 00:02:03.230 --> 00:02:04.160
- - Franklin: Yeah, it's
- 00:02:04.160 --> 00:02:05.080
- Operation Heal Our Patriots, and
- 00:02:05.080 --> 00:02:06.230
- it's about healing their hearts.
- 00:02:06.240 --> 00:02:09.240
- These would be soldiers that
- 00:02:09.240 --> 00:02:11.260
- have been wounded since 9/11.
- 00:02:12.130 --> 00:02:15.130
- These are soldiers that have
- 00:02:15.130 --> 00:02:16.280
- lost limbs, eyes, they have
- 00:02:18.070 --> 00:02:21.070
- traumatic brain injuries,
- 00:02:22.050 --> 00:02:25.050
- guys that have suffered.
- 00:02:25.050 --> 00:02:27.280
- These are not the same men that
- 00:02:27.280 --> 00:02:28.290
- they were when they went to
- 00:02:28.290 --> 00:02:30.000
- battle, but they've come home
- 00:02:30.000 --> 00:02:31.030
- now and parts of their bodies
- 00:02:31.030 --> 00:02:33.280
- are missing.
- 00:02:33.280 --> 00:02:35.150
- But their marriages are falling
- 00:02:35.150 --> 00:02:36.200
- apart.
- 00:02:36.200 --> 00:02:37.230
- Then they're not strong
- 00:02:37.230 --> 00:02:38.110
- marriages anyway, but--many of
- 00:02:38.110 --> 00:02:39.250
- them, but they come home, and
- 00:02:41.190 --> 00:02:44.190
- nobody has prepared the spouse
- 00:02:44.190 --> 00:02:45.210
- how to deal with these types of
- 00:02:45.210 --> 00:02:47.220
- things.
- 00:02:47.220 --> 00:02:48.270
- And so, we have a place in
- 00:02:48.270 --> 00:02:50.050
- Alaska we take them, we take
- 00:02:50.050 --> 00:02:51.090
- them starting June 1, it goes
- 00:02:51.090 --> 00:02:52.250
- through the middle of September.
- 00:02:52.250 --> 00:02:55.020
- And we take ten couples a week.
- 00:02:55.020 --> 00:02:57.090
- And we pay all of their expenses
- 00:02:57.090 --> 00:02:58.210
- from the time they leave their
- 00:02:58.210 --> 00:02:59.250
- home, wherever that is, up to
- 00:02:59.250 --> 00:03:02.020
- Alaska and back.
- 00:03:02.020 --> 00:03:03.080
- But they have to agree to, if
- 00:03:03.080 --> 00:03:06.080
- they come, is they have to agree
- 00:03:06.080 --> 00:03:07.240
- to marriage seminars.
- 00:03:07.240 --> 00:03:09.130
- We have one in the morning and
- 00:03:09.130 --> 00:03:10.100
- one in the evening.
- 00:03:10.100 --> 00:03:11.290
- And a lot of them say,
- 00:03:11.290 --> 00:03:13.100
- "Well, okay.
- 00:03:13.100 --> 00:03:14.170
- For a free trip to Alaska,
- 00:03:14.170 --> 00:03:15.090
- yeah, why not?
- 00:03:15.090 --> 00:03:16.220
- I'll do that."
- 00:03:16.220 --> 00:03:18.020
- And so, they get up there, and
- 00:03:18.020 --> 00:03:19.220
- they just want to go fish, and
- 00:03:19.220 --> 00:03:20.280
- they want to go see the bears,
- 00:03:20.280 --> 00:03:22.150
- and those kinds of things.
- 00:03:22.150 --> 00:03:24.040
- But they've agreed to sit down
- 00:03:24.040 --> 00:03:25.090
- for those 2 hours a day, and we
- 00:03:26.060 --> 00:03:29.060
- see couples getting off the
- 00:03:29.060 --> 00:03:31.120
- planes fighting, right at each
- 00:03:31.120 --> 00:03:33.030
- other's throats.
- 00:03:33.030 --> 00:03:34.270
- But by the end of the week, God
- 00:03:34.270 --> 00:03:36.170
- has begun to work in their
- 00:03:36.170 --> 00:03:37.160
- hearts.
- 00:03:37.160 --> 00:03:38.240
- About 40% of those that come
- 00:03:38.260 --> 00:03:41.260
- accept Christ as their Savior.
- 00:03:41.260 --> 00:03:44.220
- We baptize them right there in
- 00:03:44.220 --> 00:03:45.230
- the lake.
- 00:03:45.230 --> 00:03:46.170
- It's cold too.
- 00:03:46.170 --> 00:03:47.180
- But we baptize them right there.
- 00:03:47.180 --> 00:03:48.170
- And marriages are renewed, Matt,
- 00:03:49.100 --> 00:03:52.100
- lives are changed, and these
- 00:03:52.100 --> 00:03:54.000
- are--these are men and women,
- 00:03:54.000 --> 00:03:56.080
- and some of these soldiers are
- 00:03:56.080 --> 00:03:57.270
- women that have lost legs and
- 00:03:57.270 --> 00:03:59.130
- arms, and the spouse is the
- 00:03:59.130 --> 00:04:02.110
- husband.
- 00:04:02.110 --> 00:04:03.260
- But these are--these are men and
- 00:04:03.260 --> 00:04:04.260
- women that have defended our
- 00:04:04.260 --> 00:04:07.070
- freedom.
- 00:04:07.070 --> 00:04:08.130
- They have gone out there and
- 00:04:08.130 --> 00:04:09.110
- they have fought for our
- 00:04:09.110 --> 00:04:10.120
- country, and it's just a little
- 00:04:10.120 --> 00:04:12.220
- thing that we can do, it's a way
- 00:04:12.220 --> 00:04:14.100
- that we can invest in their
- 00:04:14.100 --> 00:04:15.200
- lives, into their families.
- 00:04:15.200 --> 00:04:18.020
- But it's all about trying to
- 00:04:18.020 --> 00:04:20.200
- save their marriage and do it in
- 00:04:20.200 --> 00:04:22.010
- the name of Jesus Christ.
- 00:04:22.010 --> 00:04:23.220
- - Matt: Everything that's
- 00:04:23.220 --> 00:04:24.110
- happening with
- 00:04:24.110 --> 00:04:25.000
- Operation Heal Our Patriots,
- 00:04:25.000 --> 00:04:26.280
- - male announcer: We're trained
- 00:04:31.020 --> 00:04:31.240
- to ignore pain.
- 00:04:31.240 --> 00:04:33.170
- When someone calls us, no is not
- 00:04:33.170 --> 00:04:35.230
- an option.
- 00:04:35.230 --> 00:04:37.270
- - Franklin: These military
- 00:04:37.270 --> 00:04:38.170
- couples--
- 00:04:38.170 --> 00:04:39.160
- - Patrick Rogers: I'm Staff
- 00:04:39.160 --> 00:04:40.060
- Sergeant Patrick Rogers.
- 00:04:40.060 --> 00:04:41.090
- This is my wife, Shelby Rogers.
- 00:04:41.090 --> 00:04:43.150
- - Franklin: Have been to war,
- 00:04:43.150 --> 00:04:44.150
- long separations.
- 00:04:44.150 --> 00:04:46.220
- - Christopher Hardister:
- 00:04:46.220 --> 00:04:47.110
- Christopher Hardister,
- 00:04:47.110 --> 00:04:47.280
- United States Marine Corps,
- 00:04:47.280 --> 00:04:48.280
- staff sergeant.
- 00:04:48.280 --> 00:04:49.220
- This is my wife,
- 00:04:49.220 --> 00:04:50.070
- Jennifer Hardister.
- 00:04:50.070 --> 00:04:51.010
- - Franklin: Who've had as many
- 00:04:51.010 --> 00:04:51.230
- as 15 deployments.
- 00:04:51.230 --> 00:04:53.190
- - male: I spent 6 years in the
- 00:04:53.190 --> 00:04:54.220
- army.
- 00:04:54.220 --> 00:04:55.200
- PTSD and TBI, anger, confusion.
- 00:04:57.280 --> 00:05:01.000
- - Franklin: And then they get
- 00:05:01.000 --> 00:05:01.210
- wounded, the marriages
- 00:05:01.210 --> 00:05:02.180
- are in trouble.
- 00:05:02.180 --> 00:05:03.160
- - male: July 3, 2005, we drove
- 00:05:03.160 --> 00:05:04.280
- over an anti-tank mine in Iraq,
- 00:05:04.280 --> 00:05:07.120
- lost my leg.
- 00:05:07.120 --> 00:05:08.130
- - male: First injury was a
- 00:05:08.130 --> 00:05:09.070
- suicide bomber collapsed the
- 00:05:09.070 --> 00:05:11.020
- building on us.
- 00:05:11.020 --> 00:05:11.270
- - male: There's been IEDs, TBI,
- 00:05:12.010 --> 00:05:15.010
- PTSD, gunshot wounds.
- 00:05:15.010 --> 00:05:17.270
- - Franklin: Operation Heal Our
- 00:05:17.270 --> 00:05:18.200
- Patriots, there's a battle that
- 00:05:18.200 --> 00:05:20.080
- takes place here every day,
- 00:05:20.080 --> 00:05:22.040
- and it's to try to save
- 00:05:22.040 --> 00:05:23.130
- these couples,
- 00:05:23.130 --> 00:05:24.180
- - male: Coming right to you.
- 00:05:32.110 --> 00:05:33.270
- There you go.
- 00:05:33.270 --> 00:05:35.150
- He's a pretty good size.
- 00:05:35.150 --> 00:05:36.250
- - male: Yeah, he is.
- 00:05:36.250 --> 00:05:37.190
- - Dan Stephens: Well, the
- 00:05:41.280 --> 00:05:42.170
- veterans, I think when they
- 00:05:42.170 --> 00:05:43.140
- first come, they're looking for
- 00:05:43.140 --> 00:05:44.100
- a good time, a good time in
- 00:05:44.100 --> 00:05:45.200
- Alaska, a time to be away with
- 00:05:45.200 --> 00:05:47.050
- their spouse, and just enjoy
- 00:05:47.050 --> 00:05:49.040
- nature and each other.
- 00:05:49.040 --> 00:05:51.040
- Many of our couples now hear of
- 00:05:51.040 --> 00:05:52.100
- other couples that have been up
- 00:05:52.100 --> 00:05:53.170
- here, and they see that their
- 00:05:53.170 --> 00:05:54.210
- lives have been changed not only
- 00:05:54.210 --> 00:05:56.180
- in their marriages, but their
- 00:05:56.180 --> 00:05:57.230
- own personal lives.
- 00:05:57.230 --> 00:05:59.080
- And so, we're getting more and
- 00:05:59.080 --> 00:05:59.290
- more couples coming up here now
- 00:05:59.290 --> 00:06:01.080
- with the idea, "We're coming to
- 00:06:01.080 --> 00:06:02.280
- get our marriage worked on.
- 00:06:02.280 --> 00:06:05.050
- We're coming up to a place where
- 00:06:05.050 --> 00:06:06.120
- we're going to be able to talk
- 00:06:06.120 --> 00:06:07.100
- to people that will be able
- 00:06:07.100 --> 00:06:08.210
- to help us with our marriage
- 00:06:08.210 --> 00:06:10.070
- I'll let her tell it.
- 00:06:12.130 --> 00:06:15.130
- - Yesica Harris: Okay,
- 00:06:15.130 --> 00:06:16.060
- so we met in high school.
- 00:06:16.060 --> 00:06:17.100
- - Ralph: Tenth
- 00:06:17.100 --> 00:06:17.250
- - Yesica: Tenth grade,
- 00:06:17.250 --> 00:06:18.150
- he asked me for a piece of gum.
- 00:06:18.150 --> 00:06:21.000
- - Ralph: This was the first
- 00:06:21.000 --> 00:06:22.230
- question I ever asked her
- 00:06:22.230 --> 00:06:25.150
- when we first met,
- 00:06:25.150 --> 00:06:26.290
- "Do you have a piece of gum?"
- 00:06:26.290 --> 00:06:27.270
- And this was the gum
- 00:06:27.270 --> 00:06:28.150
- that she gave me.
- 00:06:28.150 --> 00:06:29.180
- I was like a stray cat.
- 00:06:29.180 --> 00:06:30.070
- When she fed me,
- 00:06:30.070 --> 00:06:31.260
- I kept coming back for it.
- 00:06:33.200 --> 00:06:36.200
- - Lacy Bowman: We've been
- 00:06:36.200 --> 00:06:37.150
- married for 9 years this year.
- 00:06:37.150 --> 00:06:39.090
- We're both from Northern and
- 00:06:39.090 --> 00:06:41.060
- Southern California,
- 00:06:41.060 --> 00:06:42.200
- and we met in Kansas.
- 00:06:42.200 --> 00:06:44.100
- - Krys Bowman: Go figure.
- 00:06:44.100 --> 00:06:45.010
- - Lacy: Go figure.
- 00:06:45.010 --> 00:06:47.130
- - Shelby Rogers: I met Patrick
- 00:06:47.130 --> 00:06:48.290
- when he came over to my house.
- 00:06:48.290 --> 00:06:51.190
- I was about five, and we did not
- 00:06:51.190 --> 00:06:53.290
- - male: You get here and
- 00:07:01.010 --> 00:07:02.030
- the whole village is out here
- 00:07:02.030 --> 00:07:03.180
- - Lacy: I wanted to go back
- 00:07:07.060 --> 00:07:07.260
- through and shake everybody's
- 00:07:07.260 --> 00:07:09.000
- hand a second time.
- 00:07:09.000 --> 00:07:10.080
- I loved it so much, it felt so
- 00:07:10.080 --> 00:07:11.260
- good and so warm.
- 00:07:11.260 --> 00:07:13.010
- And I was just like,
- 00:07:13.010 --> 00:07:14.060
- - Ralph: I went out kayaking,
- 00:07:17.250 --> 00:07:18.160
- I went on a hike yesterday,
- 00:07:18.160 --> 00:07:20.090
- it was beautiful.
- 00:07:20.090 --> 00:07:21.020
- We went fishing.
- 00:07:21.020 --> 00:07:22.120
- Living the dream.
- 00:07:22.120 --> 00:07:23.210
- - Patrick: Yesterday, we
- 00:07:23.210 --> 00:07:24.110
- probably caught about
- 00:07:24.110 --> 00:07:25.130
- over 60 fish easily.
- 00:07:25.130 --> 00:07:26.270
- - Shelby: And the smile on his
- 00:07:26.270 --> 00:07:27.260
- - Drew Inman: It's surreal with
- 00:07:30.270 --> 00:07:32.100
- the peace and quiet.
- 00:07:32.100 --> 00:07:33.230
- I haven't heard any cars,
- 00:07:33.230 --> 00:07:35.280
- no horns.
- 00:07:35.280 --> 00:07:37.120
- It's amazing, I love it.
- 00:07:37.120 --> 00:07:38.230
- We're truly blessed for being
- 00:07:38.230 --> 00:07:39.140
- - Ralph: One deployment,
- 00:07:42.230 --> 00:07:43.280
- Helmand Province, Afghanistan.
- 00:07:43.280 --> 00:07:46.130
- I was the vehicle driver
- 00:07:46.130 --> 00:07:48.000
- of an MRAP.
- 00:07:48.000 --> 00:07:49.270
- I had four other people
- 00:07:49.270 --> 00:07:50.260
- in the vehicle with me.
- 00:07:50.260 --> 00:07:53.080
- I hit an IED that day, I broke
- 00:07:53.080 --> 00:07:55.110
- my back, and woke up in a
- 00:07:55.110 --> 00:07:57.200
- hospital.
- 00:07:57.200 --> 00:07:58.290
- It's all I remember.
- 00:07:58.290 --> 00:08:00.200
- - Patrick: Being a flight medic
- 00:08:00.200 --> 00:08:01.120
- sounds glamorous and all, but we
- 00:08:01.120 --> 00:08:03.100
- do some pretty hairy things.
- 00:08:03.100 --> 00:08:05.180
- We see life and death nonstop.
- 00:08:07.070 --> 00:08:10.070
- The ending of my career, 4th of
- 00:08:10.070 --> 00:08:11.280
- July, we caught a mission about
- 00:08:11.280 --> 00:08:13.120
- 12 o'clock, had to go locate
- 00:08:13.120 --> 00:08:14.290
- where these guys were on the
- 00:08:14.290 --> 00:08:16.270
- side of a mountain because
- 00:08:16.270 --> 00:08:18.060
- nobody really had eyes on them.
- 00:08:18.060 --> 00:08:19.130
- And two Taliban stepped out
- 00:08:19.130 --> 00:08:21.230
- about, I don't know, 100 yards
- 00:08:21.230 --> 00:08:23.060
- from me and just opened up with
- 00:08:23.060 --> 00:08:24.210
- an AK.
- 00:08:24.210 --> 00:08:26.270
- They short hauled me to the
- 00:08:26.270 --> 00:08:28.260
- mountains, I popped the mountain
- 00:08:28.260 --> 00:08:30.110
- pretty hard, and then I ended up
- 00:08:30.110 --> 00:08:31.290
- in a tree.
- 00:08:31.290 --> 00:08:33.000
- I just climbed the tree,
- 00:08:33.000 --> 00:08:34.090
- unhooked my cable, pulled the
- 00:08:34.090 --> 00:08:35.160
- two guys out, and we got them.
- 00:08:36.210 --> 00:08:39.210
- - male: Put your faith
- 00:08:44.060 --> 00:08:45.050
- in Jesus Christ as your
- 00:08:45.050 --> 00:08:46.030
- Lord and Savior.
- 00:08:46.030 --> 00:08:46.270
- And if you believe by faith
- 00:08:46.270 --> 00:08:48.130
- in him, you will live with him
- 00:08:48.130 --> 00:08:50.050
- for all eternity.
- 00:08:50.050 --> 00:08:51.080
- - Ralph: Always.
- 00:08:51.080 --> 00:08:52.010
- - male: Do you commit to follow
- 00:08:52.010 --> 00:08:53.170
- him--
- 00:08:53.170 --> 00:08:54.130
- - Ralph: God has truly opened
- 00:08:54.130 --> 00:08:55.110
- up my eyes of how much he truly
- 00:08:55.110 --> 00:08:57.190
- does care about me because I
- 00:08:57.190 --> 00:08:58.260
- could have been gone, my
- 00:08:58.260 --> 00:09:00.070
- injuries could have been worse.
- 00:09:00.070 --> 00:09:02.080
- But every day, I thank him just
- 00:09:02.080 --> 00:09:04.080
- for a second chance to become
- 00:09:04.080 --> 00:09:05.120
- closer to him.
- 00:09:05.120 --> 00:09:06.230
- This baptism will be a first
- 00:09:06.230 --> 00:09:08.280
- step for the two of us in our
- 00:09:08.280 --> 00:09:10.160
- marriage.
- 00:09:10.160 --> 00:09:11.100
- We can set a strong foundation
- 00:09:11.100 --> 00:09:13.180
- through Christ.
- 00:09:13.180 --> 00:09:15.160
- - Franklin: Operation Heal Our
- 00:09:15.160 --> 00:09:16.080
- Patriots, there is serious
- 00:09:16.080 --> 00:09:17.240
- reconciliation that takes place,
- 00:09:17.240 --> 00:09:20.140
- counseling that takes place as
- 00:09:20.140 --> 00:09:22.020
- we have these marriage
- 00:09:22.020 --> 00:09:23.030
- enrichment classes.
- 00:09:23.030 --> 00:09:24.190
- And we just thank God that he
- 00:09:24.190 --> 00:09:26.030
- has given us this beautiful
- 00:09:26.030 --> 00:09:28.140
- lodge and this ministry to these
- 00:09:28.140 --> 00:09:30.140
- military families.
- 00:09:30.140 --> 00:09:32.260
- - Shelby: So many of the
- 00:09:32.260 --> 00:09:33.280
- couples that come here have said
- 00:09:33.280 --> 00:09:35.060
- that this is it for us.
- 00:09:35.150 --> 00:09:38.150
- This is it, this is our last
- 00:09:38.150 --> 00:09:39.160
- chance.
- 00:09:39.160 --> 00:09:41.050
- All of the chaplains and their
- 00:09:41.050 --> 00:09:42.230
- wives have been truly amazing,
- 00:09:42.230 --> 00:09:45.070
- and you get that sense that they
- 00:09:45.070 --> 00:09:47.260
- are here for you.
- 00:09:47.260 --> 00:09:50.120
- - Krys: Prior to coming here,
- 00:09:50.120 --> 00:09:51.040
- we were still best friends, but
- 00:09:51.040 --> 00:09:52.260
- we were parents.
- 00:09:52.260 --> 00:09:54.060
- Now, we want to be excellent
- 00:09:54.060 --> 00:09:55.150
- parents, we want to be excellent
- 00:09:55.150 --> 00:09:56.230
- husband and wife,
- 00:09:56.230 --> 00:09:57.240
- we want to be best friends,
- 00:09:57.240 --> 00:09:59.130
- and we're going to find that.
- 00:09:59.130 --> 00:10:01.010
- Our marriage is not just
- 00:10:01.010 --> 00:10:02.070
- her and I.
- 00:10:02.070 --> 00:10:04.000
- - Matt: We're going to be
- 00:10:11.060 --> 00:10:12.030
- talking now, Franklin, about
- 00:10:12.030 --> 00:10:13.160
- Liberia.
- 00:10:13.160 --> 00:10:14.200
- And--but I want to circle back
- 00:10:14.200 --> 00:10:16.240
- just for those that just tuned
- 00:10:16.240 --> 00:10:19.070
- in, you were here back in 1979,
- 00:10:22.030 --> 00:10:25.030
- and your first experience on TBN
- 00:10:26.270 --> 00:10:29.270
- in this studio that many years
- 00:10:29.270 --> 00:10:31.250
- ago, goodness, that's 30--almost
- 00:10:31.250 --> 00:10:34.020
- 38 years ago or so.
- 00:10:34.020 --> 00:10:35.160
- What would you have been talking
- 00:10:35.160 --> 00:10:38.060
- about?
- 00:10:38.060 --> 00:10:38.260
- What would--what did Paul and
- 00:10:38.260 --> 00:10:40.060
- Jan--they were so--what were
- 00:10:40.060 --> 00:10:41.280
- you--
- 00:10:41.280 --> 00:10:44.000
- - Franklin: Talking about what
- 00:10:44.000 --> 00:10:44.220
- we're talking about now.
- 00:10:44.220 --> 00:10:45.160
- - Matt: Just some crisis
- 00:10:45.160 --> 00:10:46.240
- somewhere.
- 00:10:46.240 --> 00:10:47.210
- - Franklin: Hasn't changed.
- 00:10:47.210 --> 00:10:48.250
- - Paul Crouch: You've just
- 00:10:48.250 --> 00:10:49.170
- returned from Bangladesh, you
- 00:10:49.170 --> 00:10:51.170
- said, where that awful--
- 00:10:51.170 --> 00:10:52.280
- - Franklin: Yes, Bangladesh.
- 00:10:52.280 --> 00:10:54.040
- I went to see the results of the
- 00:10:54.040 --> 00:10:56.090
- tidal wave when it came across
- 00:10:56.090 --> 00:10:58.040
- the islands a few weeks ago.
- 00:10:58.040 --> 00:11:00.240
- Some 30.000 people were killed.
- 00:11:00.240 --> 00:11:02.290
- And I'm constantly, Paul,
- 00:11:02.290 --> 00:11:04.220
- looking for places around the
- 00:11:04.220 --> 00:11:05.260
- world where there is a disaster,
- 00:11:05.260 --> 00:11:07.290
- where there's war, like in
- 00:11:07.290 --> 00:11:08.270
- Lebanon or in Southeast Asia.
- 00:11:10.010 --> 00:11:13.010
- I'm looking for opportunities to
- 00:11:13.010 --> 00:11:15.010
- invest for the gospel.
- 00:11:15.010 --> 00:11:17.180
- I believe in working through the
- 00:11:17.180 --> 00:11:19.010
- church, I believe in working
- 00:11:19.010 --> 00:11:20.080
- through the Christians, the
- 00:11:20.080 --> 00:11:22.230
- nationals, or the missionaries
- 00:11:22.230 --> 00:11:23.250
- that are in a country to do
- 00:11:23.250 --> 00:11:25.160
- relief work, but let the church
- 00:11:25.160 --> 00:11:26.280
- do it.
- 00:11:26.280 --> 00:11:27.160
- Give them the means, give them
- 00:11:27.160 --> 00:11:28.110
- the finances so that, when it's
- 00:11:28.110 --> 00:11:30.210
- all said and done, the church or
- 00:11:30.210 --> 00:11:32.220
- those missionaries have earned
- 00:11:32.220 --> 00:11:34.110
- the right to proclaim the gospel
- 00:11:34.110 --> 00:11:36.030
- of Jesus Christ.
- 00:11:36.030 --> 00:11:37.140
- I don't believe in going in and
- 00:11:37.140 --> 00:11:38.120
- raising my flag, the flag of my
- 00:11:38.120 --> 00:11:40.090
- organization, but I believe in
- 00:11:40.090 --> 00:11:42.100
- and quietly giving to them, and
- 00:11:42.110 --> 00:11:45.110
- then letting them do it.
- 00:11:45.110 --> 00:11:46.280
- Now, we'll send experts in to
- 00:11:46.280 --> 00:11:47.270
- advise them, advise the church
- 00:11:47.270 --> 00:11:50.120
- on how to do a food
- 00:11:50.120 --> 00:11:51.250
- distribution, or on how to do a
- 00:11:51.250 --> 00:11:53.200
- medical clinic, but yet let them
- 00:11:53.200 --> 00:11:55.260
- do it.
- 00:11:55.260 --> 00:11:57.010
- And then they can earn the right
- 00:11:57.010 --> 00:11:58.240
- doing that now my entire adult
- 00:12:00.090 --> 00:12:03.090
- life, is just taking the wars,
- 00:12:03.090 --> 00:12:05.100
- taking the famines, taking the
- 00:12:05.100 --> 00:12:07.010
- diseases of this world, and then
- 00:12:07.010 --> 00:12:09.100
- trying to meet it
- 00:12:09.100 --> 00:12:10.260
- in Jesus' name.
- 00:12:10.260 --> 00:12:12.040
- I just was last week in Liberia,
- 00:12:12.040 --> 00:12:14.170
- where we dedicated a hospital
- 00:12:14.170 --> 00:12:16.220
- that we have built outside of
- 00:12:16.220 --> 00:12:19.000
- Monrovia.
- 00:12:19.000 --> 00:12:20.140
- But as you may remember, 2 years
- 00:12:20.140 --> 00:12:22.000
- ago, 2014, there was the Ebola
- 00:12:22.160 --> 00:12:25.160
- outbreak.
- 00:12:25.160 --> 00:12:27.160
- And we had been working in
- 00:12:27.160 --> 00:12:28.100
- Liberia since the war, the civil
- 00:12:28.100 --> 00:12:29.150
- war.
- 00:12:29.150 --> 00:12:30.030
- And we'd been working there,
- 00:12:30.030 --> 00:12:32.030
- been there about 10 years.
- 00:12:32.030 --> 00:12:34.190
- And when Ebola came, none of my
- 00:12:35.020 --> 00:12:38.020
- staff were there to fight Ebola.
- 00:12:38.020 --> 00:12:40.090
- They were all there doing--we're
- 00:12:40.090 --> 00:12:41.090
- doing agricultural projects, we
- 00:12:41.090 --> 00:12:43.130
- were working with widows, we had
- 00:12:43.130 --> 00:12:44.230
- all kinds of programs, but not
- 00:12:44.230 --> 00:12:46.170
- Ebola.
- 00:12:46.170 --> 00:12:47.230
- And there was no one in the
- 00:12:47.230 --> 00:12:50.000
- country that was willing to take
- 00:12:50.000 --> 00:12:51.270
- on Ebola.
- 00:12:51.270 --> 00:12:53.110
- And so, we just stopped what we
- 00:12:53.110 --> 00:12:54.190
- did, and all of our staff
- 00:12:54.190 --> 00:12:56.130
- started focusing on Ebola.
- 00:12:56.130 --> 00:12:58.140
- So, we had the old hospital
- 00:12:58.140 --> 00:13:00.020
- called Elwa, and we took the
- 00:13:00.200 --> 00:13:03.200
- chapel at Elwa and made it
- 00:13:03.200 --> 00:13:05.100
- a--what do they call it an
- 00:13:05.100 --> 00:13:07.000
- ETU, an Ebola Treatment Unit.
- 00:13:07.000 --> 00:13:09.160
- And really what an Ebola
- 00:13:09.160 --> 00:13:10.160
- Treatment Unit is, you bring a
- 00:13:10.160 --> 00:13:11.290
- person in that has Ebola, you
- 00:13:12.000 --> 00:13:15.000
- have to be completely covered in
- 00:13:15.000 --> 00:13:16.220
- a Tyvek suit.
- 00:13:16.220 --> 00:13:18.100
- You actually have the Tyvek suit
- 00:13:18.100 --> 00:13:19.220
- on, you have two layers of
- 00:13:19.220 --> 00:13:21.180
- gloves, you have duct tape,
- 00:13:21.180 --> 00:13:23.140
- there's no open area at all.
- 00:13:23.140 --> 00:13:26.090
- And you have a hood, and that's
- 00:13:26.090 --> 00:13:27.220
- duct taped down.
- 00:13:27.220 --> 00:13:29.000
- And you can only work in that
- 00:13:29.000 --> 00:13:31.130
- heat for about 20 minutes and
- 00:13:32.000 --> 00:13:35.000
- you would pass out.
- 00:13:35.000 --> 00:13:36.180
- So, you had to get back, and get
- 00:13:36.180 --> 00:13:38.110
- out of that Tyvek suit
- 00:13:38.110 --> 00:13:39.130
- after 20 minutes.
- 00:13:39.130 --> 00:13:40.160
- But a person comes in with
- 00:13:40.160 --> 00:13:41.150
- Ebola, all you can do is make
- 00:13:41.150 --> 00:13:42.110
- them comfortable.
- 00:13:42.110 --> 00:13:43.190
- Give them water, IV fluids.
- 00:13:45.040 --> 00:13:48.040
- But basically, all you could do
- 00:13:48.040 --> 00:13:50.250
- was keep them comfortable until
- 00:13:50.250 --> 00:13:53.110
- they died.
- 00:13:53.110 --> 00:13:54.140
- And one of our doctors,
- 00:13:54.140 --> 00:13:57.010
- Dr. Kent Brentley,
- 00:13:57.010 --> 00:14:00.020
- I was in Alaska working
- 00:14:00.020 --> 00:14:01.050
- at a Samaritan's Purse
- 00:14:01.050 --> 00:14:02.050
- project there, and I got a phone
- 00:14:02.050 --> 00:14:03.070
- call that Dr. Brentley had
- 00:14:03.070 --> 00:14:05.040
- Ebola, and I knew it was
- 00:14:05.040 --> 00:14:07.130
- a death sentence.
- 00:14:07.130 --> 00:14:08.080
- There was no way we were going
- 00:14:09.000 --> 00:14:12.000
- to be able to save his life.
- 00:14:12.000 --> 00:14:12.280
- And Matt, I didn't even know how
- 00:14:12.290 --> 00:14:15.290
- to pray.
- 00:14:15.290 --> 00:14:17.090
- I just, "God, why?"
- 00:14:19.000 --> 00:14:22.000
- A young doctor with a wife and
- 00:14:22.000 --> 00:14:23.180
- kids, and he's infected with
- 00:14:23.180 --> 00:14:25.260
- Ebola?
- 00:14:25.260 --> 00:14:27.220
- I wanted to get him back to this
- 00:14:27.220 --> 00:14:29.230
- country.
- 00:14:29.230 --> 00:14:30.130
- We had an insurance policy that
- 00:14:30.130 --> 00:14:31.120
- would go anywhere in the world
- 00:14:31.120 --> 00:14:32.210
- with a private plane to pick a
- 00:14:32.210 --> 00:14:33.270
- person up.
- 00:14:33.270 --> 00:14:35.290
- And they said, "Where's your
- 00:14:35.290 --> 00:14:37.180
- patient?"
- 00:14:37.180 --> 00:14:38.110
- "Well, he's in Liberia."
- 00:14:38.110 --> 00:14:39.160
- "What does he have?"
- 00:14:39.160 --> 00:14:40.100
- "He has Ebola."
- 00:14:40.100 --> 00:14:41.040
- "Oh, we're not going to--
- 00:14:41.040 --> 00:14:42.070
- we're not going to Liberia
- 00:14:42.070 --> 00:14:43.030
- to pick him up."
- 00:14:43.030 --> 00:14:44.130
- "But we have a policy."
- 00:14:44.130 --> 00:14:46.090
- "Sue us, we're not going."
- 00:14:46.090 --> 00:14:49.050
- And we realized that there was
- 00:14:49.050 --> 00:14:51.230
- no way we were going to be able
- 00:14:51.230 --> 00:14:53.070
- to get him back.
- 00:14:53.070 --> 00:14:53.290
- The airlines weren't going to
- 00:14:53.290 --> 00:14:54.270
- fly him.
- 00:14:54.270 --> 00:14:55.260
- We were talking to one man at
- 00:14:55.260 --> 00:14:57.290
- the State Department, and this
- 00:14:57.290 --> 00:15:00.160
- guy said, "There is one asset
- 00:15:00.160 --> 00:15:02.210
- that the government controls, a
- 00:15:02.210 --> 00:15:05.030
- plane that can carry," I think
- 00:15:05.030 --> 00:15:06.220
- they call it, "a level four
- 00:15:06.220 --> 00:15:07.250
- infected person."
- 00:15:07.250 --> 00:15:10.070
- And we asked, "Well, who?
- 00:15:10.070 --> 00:15:11.270
- Who controls that asset?"
- 00:15:11.270 --> 00:15:13.260
- The guy said, "I do."
- 00:15:13.260 --> 00:15:15.200
- He said, "You have to pay
- 00:15:15.200 --> 00:15:16.130
- for it.
- 00:15:16.130 --> 00:15:17.110
- But if you pay for it,
- 00:15:17.110 --> 00:15:18.130
- we'll send our plane."
- 00:15:18.130 --> 00:15:20.100
- And, "Where do we send the
- 00:15:20.100 --> 00:15:22.100
- money?
- 00:15:22.100 --> 00:15:23.040
- We'll do it right now, today."
- 00:15:23.040 --> 00:15:23.250
- We did a wire transfer, and they
- 00:15:23.250 --> 00:15:25.210
- sent the plane to go get him,
- 00:15:25.210 --> 00:15:28.110
- but it had pressurization
- 00:15:28.110 --> 00:15:29.130
- problems, had to turn around and
- 00:15:29.130 --> 00:15:30.120
- come back.
- 00:15:30.120 --> 00:15:32.090
- And he was--he's now been
- 00:15:32.090 --> 00:15:35.030
- infected for ten--or for nine
- 00:15:35.030 --> 00:15:36.110
- days--excuse me, a week.
- 00:15:36.110 --> 00:15:37.210
- And he's getting weaker, and
- 00:15:37.210 --> 00:15:39.140
- weaker, and weaker.
- 00:15:39.140 --> 00:15:41.110
- And Matt, a guy,
- 00:15:41.110 --> 00:15:42.030
- a person showed up from the
- 00:15:42.060 --> 00:15:45.060
- National Institute of Health,
- 00:15:45.100 --> 00:15:48.100
- said, "We have a drug that's
- 00:15:48.110 --> 00:15:51.110
- never been tried on a human.
- 00:15:51.110 --> 00:15:54.080
- Do you all want it?"
- 00:15:54.080 --> 00:15:56.070
- And we asked Dr. Brentley if he
- 00:15:56.070 --> 00:15:57.240
- would take it, and he said,
- 00:15:57.240 --> 00:15:59.190
- "Give it to a lady by the name
- 00:15:59.190 --> 00:16:01.140
- of Nancy Writebol, a nurse that
- 00:16:01.140 --> 00:16:03.040
- had got Ebola."
- 00:16:03.040 --> 00:16:04.140
- So, we had two people down with
- 00:16:04.140 --> 00:16:05.090
- Ebola.
- 00:16:05.090 --> 00:16:07.110
- And the plane was coming to get
- 00:16:07.110 --> 00:16:09.070
- him, but it had to turn around
- 00:16:09.070 --> 00:16:10.270
- and go back.
- 00:16:10.270 --> 00:16:12.190
- And the plane was supposed to be
- 00:16:12.190 --> 00:16:13.200
- there Thursday of that week.
- 00:16:13.200 --> 00:16:16.110
- And that week, that Thursday
- 00:16:16.110 --> 00:16:19.020
- night, he began to die.
- 00:16:19.020 --> 00:16:21.110
- And there were nothing we could
- 00:16:21.110 --> 00:16:22.080
- do, we were losing him.
- 00:16:22.080 --> 00:16:24.180
- And we put one of those bags of
- 00:16:24.180 --> 00:16:26.160
- ZMapp it's called.
- 00:16:26.160 --> 00:16:28.050
- A treatment was three bags.
- 00:16:28.050 --> 00:16:30.200
- It takes about 9 hours to go in,
- 00:16:30.200 --> 00:16:32.230
- and then you wait 2 days, you
- 00:16:32.230 --> 00:16:34.270
- put another bag in, 9 hours,
- 00:16:34.270 --> 00:16:37.080
- wait 2 days, put another bag in.
- 00:16:37.080 --> 00:16:39.140
- Began to lose him, and the
- 00:16:39.140 --> 00:16:41.090
- doctors there made the decision
- 00:16:41.090 --> 00:16:42.120
- to put the ZMapp that's never
- 00:16:42.120 --> 00:16:44.120
- been put in a human being
- 00:16:44.120 --> 00:16:45.170
- before.
- 00:16:45.170 --> 00:16:46.270
- And when they put that into his
- 00:16:46.270 --> 00:16:47.290
- arm, within minutes he went into
- 00:16:51.110 --> 00:16:54.110
- convulsions, and began to
- 00:16:54.110 --> 00:16:56.140
- violently shake in his bed.
- 00:16:56.140 --> 00:16:59.090
- And so, our doctors were afraid
- 00:16:59.090 --> 00:17:02.070
- what was happening to him.
- 00:17:02.070 --> 00:17:03.230
- So, they called the
- 00:17:03.230 --> 00:17:04.280
- manufacturers and they said,
- 00:17:04.280 --> 00:17:06.080
- "No, we saw this in primates.
- 00:17:06.080 --> 00:17:08.130
- It's the antibodies fighting the
- 00:17:08.130 --> 00:17:10.040
- Ebola.
- 00:17:10.040 --> 00:17:11.150
- Leave him alone."
- 00:17:11.150 --> 00:17:13.120
- Matt, 40 minutes later,
- 00:17:13.280 --> 00:17:16.280
- he got up out of bed and went
- 00:17:16.280 --> 00:17:18.090
- to the bathroom.
- 00:17:18.090 --> 00:17:19.020
- He hadn't been out of bed
- 00:17:19.020 --> 00:17:19.210
- in 3 days.
- 00:17:19.210 --> 00:17:21.210
- It was that dramatic, it was
- 00:17:21.210 --> 00:17:22.280
- that quick.
- 00:17:22.280 --> 00:17:24.130
- God showed up.
- 00:17:24.130 --> 00:17:26.090
- I mean, God showed up.
- 00:17:26.090 --> 00:17:28.020
- And the next day, the plane
- 00:17:28.020 --> 00:17:30.100
- came, brought him back.
- 00:17:30.100 --> 00:17:31.210
- When they took him to Emory
- 00:17:31.210 --> 00:17:32.120
- University in Georgia, he walked
- 00:17:32.120 --> 00:17:34.120
- off the ambulance.
- 00:17:34.120 --> 00:17:35.260
- They didn't carry him in a
- 00:17:35.260 --> 00:17:36.180
- stretcher, he walked off.
- 00:17:36.180 --> 00:17:38.200
- But, we've got a documentary
- 00:17:38.200 --> 00:17:41.100
- that will be out next year, and
- 00:17:41.270 --> 00:17:44.270
- it's called "Facing Darkness."
- 00:17:44.270 --> 00:17:47.020
- And it's the story of how God
- 00:17:47.100 --> 00:17:50.100
- - male announcer: This was an
- 00:17:55.130 --> 00:17:56.070
- unfolding catastrophe.
- 00:17:56.070 --> 00:17:57.190
- - female: The numbers of new
- 00:17:57.190 --> 00:17:58.100
- cases and deaths are still
- 00:17:58.100 --> 00:17:59.220
- rising.
- 00:18:00.070 --> 00:18:03.070
- - Franklin: Ebola is the
- 00:18:03.070 --> 00:18:04.000
- - male: The disease is out of
- 00:18:07.190 --> 00:18:08.150
- - male: Action was needed
- 00:18:11.260 --> 00:18:12.150
- immediately.
- 00:18:12.150 --> 00:18:13.290
- - male: All together, the
- 00:18:13.290 --> 00:18:14.240
- family member that I lose, 17.
- 00:18:15.240 --> 00:18:18.240
- - Franklin: God has called us
- 00:18:18.240 --> 00:18:19.180
- to care for the dying, to care
- 00:18:19.180 --> 00:18:20.240
- for those that are suffering.
- 00:18:20.240 --> 00:18:22.180
- - female: We can't say we're
- 00:18:22.180 --> 00:18:23.090
- Samaritan's Purse and not help.
- 00:18:23.090 --> 00:18:25.200
- - male: I was confident that
- 00:18:25.200 --> 00:18:26.130
- what we were doing was the right
- 00:18:26.130 --> 00:18:27.270
- thing to do.
- 00:18:27.270 --> 00:18:29.240
- - Kent Brentley: I don't think
- 00:18:29.240 --> 00:18:30.160
- I was scared yet.
- 00:18:30.210 --> 00:18:33.210
- - male: As the epidemic
- 00:18:38.050 --> 00:18:39.070
- escalated, we were just
- 00:18:39.070 --> 00:18:40.230
- desperately trying to stay one
- 00:18:40.230 --> 00:18:42.080
- step ahead.
- 00:18:42.080 --> 00:18:44.000
- - Franklin: My phone rang, and
- 00:18:44.000 --> 00:18:44.250
- Ken Isaacs said, "One of our
- 00:18:44.250 --> 00:18:46.050
- doctors, Kent Brentley, has
- 00:18:46.130 --> 00:18:49.130
- Ebola.
- 00:18:49.130 --> 00:18:51.160
- - Nancy Writebol: David looked
- 00:18:51.160 --> 00:18:52.080
- at me and he said, "You too have
- 00:18:52.080 --> 00:18:54.010
- Ebola."
- 00:18:54.010 --> 00:18:56.020
- - male: And then Barbara was
- 00:18:56.020 --> 00:18:57.020
- diagnosed with Ebola.
- 00:18:57.020 --> 00:18:58.150
- - male: There was a high
- 00:18:58.150 --> 00:18:59.110
- likelihood her team members were
- 00:18:59.110 --> 00:19:00.180
- going to die.
- 00:19:00.180 --> 00:19:01.280
- - female: I don't know how to
- 00:19:01.280 --> 00:19:02.190
- describe how afraid we were.
- 00:19:02.190 --> 00:19:04.220
- - male: But we still went in
- 00:19:04.220 --> 00:19:05.180
- hour after hour, taking care of
- 00:19:05.180 --> 00:19:07.170
- the Liberians, and taking care
- 00:19:07.170 --> 00:19:08.270
- - Franklin: We're there to save
- 00:19:12.050 --> 00:19:12.270
- life.
- 00:19:12.270 --> 00:19:14.060
- We're there in your name.
- 00:19:14.060 --> 00:19:16.210
- - female: Despite the fact that
- 00:19:22.050 --> 00:19:23.100
- things were out of control, we
- 00:19:23.100 --> 00:19:24.250
- [music]
- 00:19:27.000 --> 00:19:28.060
- Oh God, you never
- 00:19:30.040 --> 00:19:33.040
- leave my side
- 00:19:33.040 --> 00:19:34.260
- - female: My greatest fear is
- 00:19:34.260 --> 00:19:35.180
- that I would have to raise my
- 00:19:35.180 --> 00:19:36.140
- kids alone.
- 00:19:36.140 --> 00:19:37.210
- - female: I felt broken.
- 00:19:37.210 --> 00:19:38.100
- Who is going to take care of my
- 00:19:38.100 --> 00:19:39.180
- - male: God puts you in places
- 00:19:42.180 --> 00:19:43.210
- and supplies the strength to
- 00:19:43.210 --> 00:19:46.170
- - male: If they're on our team,
- 00:19:50.010 --> 00:19:51.070
- they are our blood.
- 00:19:51.070 --> 00:19:52.230
- No matter what it took, let's
- 00:19:52.230 --> 00:19:53.180
- get them out.
- 00:19:53.180 --> 00:19:55.150
- - Franklin: Jesus Christ didn't
- 00:19:59.180 --> 00:20:00.100
- run.
- 00:20:00.100 --> 00:20:01.230
- We run to the fire, we don't run
- 00:20:01.230 --> 00:20:03.140
- - Franklin: It's an incredible
- 00:20:14.030 --> 00:20:17.030
- story how this ZMapp came out of
- 00:20:17.260 --> 00:20:20.260
- nowhere.
- 00:20:20.260 --> 00:20:21.170
- It had been given to a man by
- 00:20:21.170 --> 00:20:22.130
- name of Dr. Khan
- 00:20:22.130 --> 00:20:24.170
- in Sierra Leone.
- 00:20:24.170 --> 00:20:26.080
- He was the world's foremost
- 00:20:26.080 --> 00:20:27.140
- doctor on Ebola, and he had
- 00:20:27.140 --> 00:20:28.230
- Ebola.
- 00:20:28.230 --> 00:20:30.250
- But he was working with another
- 00:20:30.250 --> 00:20:31.250
- organization, and the lawyers
- 00:20:31.250 --> 00:20:34.060
- for that organization said,
- 00:20:34.060 --> 00:20:36.020
- "It's an experimental drug,
- 00:20:36.020 --> 00:20:38.160
- you can't give it to him."
- 00:20:38.160 --> 00:20:40.080
- And he died.
- 00:20:40.080 --> 00:20:41.260
- And so, here this experimental
- 00:20:41.260 --> 00:20:43.020
- drug was in Sierra Leone, and
- 00:20:43.020 --> 00:20:44.290
- they sent it to us.
- 00:20:44.290 --> 00:20:46.210
- It went by canoe, it went by
- 00:20:46.210 --> 00:20:48.130
- 4-wheel drive, it ended up in an
- 00:20:48.130 --> 00:20:50.050
- airplane.
- 00:20:50.050 --> 00:20:51.090
- And it was frozen to, like,
- 00:20:51.090 --> 00:20:52.270
- 20 below 0.
- 00:20:52.270 --> 00:20:54.280
- So, when you open this thing,
- 00:20:54.280 --> 00:20:56.270
- I mean, the moisture,
- 00:20:56.270 --> 00:20:58.220
- the vapor that came out looked
- 00:20:58.220 --> 00:21:00.080
- like something out of a
- 00:21:00.080 --> 00:21:01.050
- Alfred Hitchcock movie.
- 00:21:01.050 --> 00:21:03.080
- But it was mice blood, and it
- 00:21:03.120 --> 00:21:06.120
- was cultivated on tobacco leaves
- 00:21:06.120 --> 00:21:09.030
- that grew these antibodies
- 00:21:09.030 --> 00:21:11.120
- for Ebola.
- 00:21:11.120 --> 00:21:12.120
- So, when they asked me,
- 00:21:12.120 --> 00:21:14.230
- "Franklin, should we put this
- 00:21:14.230 --> 00:21:15.190
- in him?"
- 00:21:15.190 --> 00:21:16.080
- I said, "It's made from
- 00:21:16.080 --> 00:21:16.280
- mice blood?
- 00:21:16.280 --> 00:21:18.010
- You've got to be kidding me."
- 00:21:18.010 --> 00:21:19.060
- I said, "Are you all serious?"
- 00:21:19.060 --> 00:21:20.070
- I thought they were maybe
- 00:21:20.070 --> 00:21:21.100
- some kind of sick joke.
- 00:21:21.100 --> 00:21:22.200
- They said, "No."
- 00:21:22.200 --> 00:21:24.040
- And so, God brought this ZMapp,
- 00:21:26.080 --> 00:21:29.080
- and it worked, and it saved
- 00:21:29.080 --> 00:21:30.230
- Dr. Brentley's life, and it
- 00:21:30.230 --> 00:21:32.000
- saved Nancy Writebol's life.
- 00:21:32.000 --> 00:21:34.150
- And they're--and Nancy Writebol
- 00:21:34.150 --> 00:21:36.060
- is back on the field.
- 00:21:36.060 --> 00:21:37.110
- I saw her last week, she's back
- 00:21:37.110 --> 00:21:38.080
- in Liberia.
- 00:21:38.080 --> 00:21:40.160
- But we've just finished
- 00:21:40.160 --> 00:21:41.240
- dedicating the hospital, state
- 00:21:41.240 --> 00:21:43.260
- of the art hospital there in
- 00:21:43.260 --> 00:21:45.210
- western Africa.
- 00:21:45.210 --> 00:21:47.210
- The president of the country was
- 00:21:47.210 --> 00:21:49.020
- there, the vice president was
- 00:21:49.020 --> 00:21:50.070
- there, it was a great
- 00:21:50.070 --> 00:21:51.110
- celebration.
- 00:21:51.110 --> 00:21:52.050
- But it was a thanksgiving
- 00:21:52.050 --> 00:21:53.000
- service, thanking God for not
- 00:21:53.000 --> 00:21:53.290
- only saving the life of the
- 00:21:53.290 --> 00:21:56.110
- Liberian people, but giving us
- 00:21:56.110 --> 00:21:59.050
- - Matt: Everything that's
- 00:22:01.230 --> 00:22:02.200
- happening there in Liberia with
- 00:22:02.200 --> 00:22:04.050
- Franklin Graham's Samaritan's
- 00:22:04.050 --> 00:22:05.180
- Great is thy faithfulness
- 00:22:09.060 --> 00:22:12.060
- great is thy faithfulness
- 00:22:14.270 --> 00:22:17.270
- Morning by morning
- 00:22:19.200 --> 00:22:22.200
- - Franklin: Right now, I'm in
- 00:22:29.180 --> 00:22:30.090
- Liberia, right outside of
- 00:22:30.090 --> 00:22:32.030
- Monrovia, at Elwa Hospital.
- 00:22:32.030 --> 00:22:35.020
- And this is a hospital that's
- 00:22:35.020 --> 00:22:35.270
- been here for about 60 years,
- 00:22:35.270 --> 00:22:38.030
- and suffered a lot over the
- 00:22:38.030 --> 00:22:39.170
- years.
- 00:22:39.170 --> 00:22:40.040
- During the war, this country was
- 00:22:40.040 --> 00:22:41.280
- just decimated, 14 year civil
- 00:22:41.280 --> 00:22:44.030
- war.
- 00:22:44.030 --> 00:22:45.100
- We started to help Elwa Hospital
- 00:22:45.100 --> 00:22:47.270
- to rebuild and to regain its
- 00:22:48.290 --> 00:22:51.290
- - Jerry Brown: Ladies and
- 00:22:59.100 --> 00:23:00.040
- gentlemen, our distinguished
- 00:23:00.040 --> 00:23:01.060
- guests and partners.
- 00:23:01.060 --> 00:23:03.240
- Our elders said, "This is the
- 00:23:03.240 --> 00:23:05.090
- beginning of many fulfilled
- 00:23:05.090 --> 00:23:06.180
- dreams for a better and
- 00:23:06.180 --> 00:23:08.210
- - Franklin: We come today
- 00:23:12.050 --> 00:23:13.000
- to dedicate this facility to
- 00:23:13.000 --> 00:23:15.070
- Jesus Christ and to his glory.
- 00:23:15.070 --> 00:23:17.160
- And my prayer is that 100 years
- 00:23:17.160 --> 00:23:19.040
- from now, that Elwa will still
- 00:23:19.100 --> 00:23:22.100
- be preaching the gospel, that
- 00:23:22.100 --> 00:23:24.150
- the sick will still come to this
- 00:23:24.150 --> 00:23:26.030
- hospital, and that they will
- 00:23:26.030 --> 00:23:28.040
- come to know Jesus Christ as
- 00:23:28.040 --> 00:23:29.170
- their Lord and Savior, and that
- 00:23:29.170 --> 00:23:31.180
- they will put Jesus Christ into
- 00:23:31.180 --> 00:23:33.110
- their hearts and trust him
- 00:23:33.110 --> 00:23:35.030
- - Ellen Sirleaf: This symbol
- 00:23:42.030 --> 00:23:43.210
- gives us hope,
- 00:23:43.210 --> 00:23:46.030
- gives us strength, it gives us
- 00:23:46.030 --> 00:23:48.190
- determination, and it enables us
- 00:23:49.030 --> 00:23:52.030
- to go forth and say,
- 00:23:53.050 --> 00:23:56.050
- running in a few weeks.
- 00:24:12.260 --> 00:24:15.260
- We'll have everybody here.
- 00:24:15.260 --> 00:24:17.140
- But we want the equipment to be
- 00:24:17.140 --> 00:24:18.200
- as good as any hospital in the
- 00:24:18.200 --> 00:24:21.000
- United States.
- 00:24:21.000 --> 00:24:23.030
- We want to give Liberia
- 00:24:23.030 --> 00:24:24.000
- the best, not second best.
- 00:24:24.000 --> 00:24:26.150
- - Ellen: All the monitors
- 00:24:26.150 --> 00:24:27.040
- there?
- 00:24:27.040 --> 00:24:27.200
- - Franklin: Yes.
- 00:24:27.200 --> 00:24:28.220
- - Ellen: That are going to be
- 00:24:28.220 --> 00:24:29.130
- there that's first class?
- 00:24:29.130 --> 00:24:30.280
- - Franklin: Oh, it will be
- 00:24:30.280 --> 00:24:32.220
- something that your country will
- 00:24:32.220 --> 00:24:34.140
- be proud.
- 00:24:34.140 --> 00:24:36.220
- This is what we do.
- 00:24:36.220 --> 00:24:38.020
- We help people like this here in
- 00:24:38.020 --> 00:24:39.110
- Liberia with a new, state of the
- 00:24:39.110 --> 00:24:41.280
- art hospital that will touch the
- 00:24:41.280 --> 00:24:43.160
- lives of thousands of Liberians
- 00:24:43.160 --> 00:24:45.220
- for years to come.
- 00:24:45.220 --> 00:24:46.230
- So, thank you.
- 00:24:46.230 --> 00:24:47.130
- Thank you for your support,
- 00:24:47.130 --> 00:24:48.100
- - Matt: In this final moment,
- 00:24:53.140 --> 00:24:55.120
- just you know, the partners of
- 00:24:55.120 --> 00:24:58.000
- TBN hear that, you know, we
- 00:24:58.140 --> 00:25:01.160
- started this broadcast by saying
- 00:25:01.160 --> 00:25:03.030
- that your first appearance
- 00:25:03.030 --> 00:25:05.020
- sitting on a chair in this
- 00:25:05.020 --> 00:25:06.290
- studio would have been about
- 00:25:06.290 --> 00:25:08.030
- 1979 or 1980.
- 00:25:08.030 --> 00:25:10.270
- The studio looked a lot
- 00:25:10.270 --> 00:25:13.080
- different, but the circumstance
- 00:25:13.080 --> 00:25:15.250
- of why you were here is the
- 00:25:15.250 --> 00:25:17.030
- same, now almost 40 years later.
- 00:25:18.090 --> 00:25:21.090
- You've been involved in diseases
- 00:25:22.040 --> 00:25:25.040
- and tragedies, you know, all
- 00:25:25.040 --> 00:25:26.190
- over the world for all these
- 00:25:26.190 --> 00:25:29.000
- many years, and the TBN partners
- 00:25:29.000 --> 00:25:30.060
- have been there to help.
- 00:25:30.060 --> 00:25:32.080
- Just in final thoughts, please
- 00:25:32.080 --> 00:25:34.250
- - Franklin: Well, first of all,
- 00:25:37.230 --> 00:25:39.070
- I want to say thank you to the
- 00:25:39.070 --> 00:25:40.150
- TBN family and partners for so
- 00:25:41.090 --> 00:25:44.090
- many years of--that you have
- 00:25:44.090 --> 00:25:46.090
- helped, through TBN, people
- 00:25:47.290 --> 00:25:50.290
- around the world.
- 00:25:50.290 --> 00:25:52.100
- You have partnered with
- 00:25:52.100 --> 00:25:53.190
- Samaritan's Purse time and time
- 00:25:53.190 --> 00:25:55.010
- again, and so we're so grateful
- 00:25:55.010 --> 00:25:56.060
- and so thankful for the
- 00:25:56.060 --> 00:25:57.290
- friendship of this ministry.
- 00:25:57.290 --> 00:26:00.260
- And of course, your mom and dad
- 00:26:00.260 --> 00:26:01.250
- were such great, great friends,
- 00:26:01.250 --> 00:26:04.060
- and we miss them and love them.
- 00:26:04.060 --> 00:26:06.070
- But we're grateful to God for
- 00:26:06.070 --> 00:26:07.140
- the opportunities that he gives
- 00:26:07.140 --> 00:26:08.180
- us.
- 00:26:08.180 --> 00:26:09.160
- But I want all of you to know
- 00:26:09.160 --> 00:26:11.050
- that God loves you, and he cares
- 00:26:11.050 --> 00:26:12.170
- for you.
- 00:26:12.170 --> 00:26:13.280
- And he sent his Son from heaven
- 00:26:13.280 --> 00:26:15.000
- to this earth for your sins.
- 00:26:15.000 --> 00:26:16.290
- And that's the problem the world
- 00:26:16.290 --> 00:26:17.290
- has, we have a sin problem, and
- 00:26:17.290 --> 00:26:20.000
- sin has infected the entire
- 00:26:20.000 --> 00:26:21.170
- human race.
- 00:26:21.170 --> 00:26:23.140
- But God loves us, he made us, he
- 00:26:23.140 --> 00:26:24.280
- created us, and he doesn't want
- 00:26:24.280 --> 00:26:26.240
- us to be separate from him.
- 00:26:26.240 --> 00:26:28.250
- He wants to have fellowship with
- 00:26:28.250 --> 00:26:29.290
- us, but sin is a barrier, it's a
- 00:26:29.290 --> 00:26:31.200
- wall, like a brick wall that we
- 00:26:31.200 --> 00:26:33.190
- can't penetrate.
- 00:26:33.190 --> 00:26:35.210
- But only God, through faith in
- 00:26:35.210 --> 00:26:38.170
- his Son Jesus Christ, can that
- 00:26:38.170 --> 00:26:39.280
- wall be broken down.
- 00:26:39.280 --> 00:26:42.050
- And I was 22 years old when I
- 00:26:42.050 --> 00:26:44.190
- put my faith and trust in Jesus
- 00:26:44.190 --> 00:26:45.230
- Christ, and God heard my prayer,
- 00:26:46.040 --> 00:26:49.040
- and he forgave my sins.
- 00:26:49.040 --> 00:26:50.090
- And he'll forgive your sins, and
- 00:26:50.090 --> 00:26:51.200
- he'll cleanse your life, and
- 00:26:51.200 --> 00:26:53.090
- make you a new person.
- 00:26:53.090 --> 00:26:55.070
- But you've got to be willing to
- 00:26:55.070 --> 00:26:56.250
- come to God through faith in his
- 00:26:56.250 --> 00:26:59.110
- Son, Jesus Christ.
- 00:26:59.110 --> 00:27:01.000
- The Bible says, "If you just
- 00:27:01.000 --> 00:27:02.060
- believe in the name of the Lord
- 00:27:02.060 --> 00:27:03.140
- Jesus Christ, you'll be saved."
- 00:27:03.140 --> 00:27:05.130
- And if you've never done that,
- 00:27:05.130 --> 00:27:06.190
- you can do it right now.
- 00:27:06.190 --> 00:27:07.150
- Just pray this prayer right now,
- 00:27:07.150 --> 00:27:09.000
- wherever you are.
- 00:27:09.000 --> 00:27:09.210
- If you've never invited Christ
- 00:27:09.210 --> 00:27:10.180
- into your heart, do it right
- 00:27:10.180 --> 00:27:11.160
- now.
- 00:27:11.160 --> 00:27:12.100
- Just say, "Dear God, I'm a
- 00:27:12.100 --> 00:27:13.200
- sinner.
- 00:27:13.200 --> 00:27:14.140
- I'm sorry, forgive me.
- 00:27:14.140 --> 00:27:17.060
- I believe that Jesus Christ is
- 00:27:17.060 --> 00:27:18.200
- your Son.
- 00:27:18.200 --> 00:27:19.220
- I want to trust him as my
- 00:27:19.220 --> 00:27:20.240
- Savior.
- 00:27:20.240 --> 00:27:22.160
- I want to invite him to come
- 00:27:22.160 --> 00:27:23.140
- into my heart, to take control
- 00:27:23.140 --> 00:27:26.120
- of my life from this moment
- 00:27:26.120 --> 00:27:29.080
- forever, and I pray this in
- 00:27:29.080 --> 00:27:32.030
- Jesus' name, amen."
- 00:27:33.190 --> 00:27:36.190
- Call that number on the screen
- 00:27:36.190 --> 00:27:37.150
- if you prayed that prayer.
- 00:27:37.150 --> 00:27:38.260
- They've got counselors right
- 00:27:38.260 --> 00:27:39.260
- here who will take your call,
- 00:27:39.260 --> 00:27:41.110
- want to hear from you.
- 00:27:41.110 --> 00:27:43.240
- But know that God loves you, and
- 00:27:43.240 --> 00:27:46.060
- TBN loves you as well.
- 00:27:46.060 --> 00:27:47.210
- Thank you.
- 00:27:47.210 --> 00:27:48.200
- - Matt: Wow.
- 00:27:48.200 --> 00:27:49.240
- The old adage that many things
- 00:27:49.240 --> 00:27:52.240
- change, but many things remain
- 00:27:52.240 --> 00:27:54.210
- the same.
- 00:27:54.210 --> 00:27:56.040
- This studio looks a little
- 00:27:56.040 --> 00:27:58.150
- different, styles change, the
- 00:27:58.150 --> 00:28:01.070
- way you do your crusades
- 00:28:01.070 --> 00:28:03.030
- sometimes will change here and
- 00:28:03.030 --> 00:28:04.230
- there, the way TBN's programming
- 00:28:04.230 --> 00:28:06.260
- is will change, and looks
- 00:28:06.260 --> 00:28:09.010
- change, and styles change.
- 00:28:09.010 --> 00:28:10.260
- But one thing doesn't change.
- 00:28:10.260 --> 00:28:12.130
- We're talking about crisis
- 00:28:12.130 --> 00:28:14.200
- around the world, and God's love
- 00:28:14.200 --> 00:28:15.260
- extending to people.
- 00:28:15.260 --> 00:28:17.240
- And we're talking about Jesus,
- 00:28:17.240 --> 00:28:19.160
- and how he can change every
- 00:28:19.160 --> 00:28:20.170
- life.
- 00:28:20.170 --> 00:28:21.070
- So, thank you, Franklin.
- 00:28:21.070 --> 00:28:22.160
- I know there'll be another
- 00:28:22.160 --> 00:28:24.130
- crisis around the world, the
- 00:28:24.130 --> 00:28:26.180
- Lord said it, "Tribulation
- 00:28:26.180 --> 00:28:27.200
- you'll have."
- 00:28:27.200 --> 00:28:28.270
- And it just seems like that your
- 00:28:28.270 --> 00:28:30.240
- organization, Samaritan's Purse,
- 00:28:30.240 --> 00:28:33.000
- is always right in the middle.
- 00:28:33.000 --> 00:28:34.110
- And then TBN partners are always
- 00:28:34.110 --> 00:28:36.170
- right behind you to help you, so
- 00:28:36.170 --> 00:28:38.040
- thank you for being here.
- 00:28:38.040 --> 00:28:39.150
- God bless you, my friend.
- 00:28:39.150 --> 00:28:40.060
- - Franklin: Thank you, Matt.
- 00:28:40.060 --> 00:28:41.120
- - Matt: Good to have you.
- 00:28:41.120 --> 00:28:42.010
- Thanks for coming out to LA.
- 00:28:42.010 --> 00:28:42.210
- Yeah, I love it.
- 00:28:42.210 --> 00:28:45.030
- We have good weather.
- 00:28:45.030 --> 00:28:45.290
- - Franklin: It's beautiful
- 00:28:45.290 --> 00:28:46.190
- weather.
- 00:28:46.190 --> 00:28:47.150
- - Franklin: We'll see you next
- 00:28:47.150 --> 00:28:48.070
