The first case of COVID-19
in the United States.
10

We are enduring
a great national trial
11
00:00:55,751 --> 00:00:59,407
and we will prove
that we can meet the moment.

The system is not really geared
13
00:01:03,585 --> 00:01:05,369
to what we need

They're calling it
the Second Great Depression...

00:01:37,488 --> 00:01:39,099
Disruption in
the food supply chain.
25
00:01:39,142 --> 00:01:40,230
What we're seeing now
26
00:01:40,274 --> 00:01:42,102
is something that's
unprecedented.
27
00:01:42,145 --> 00:01:44,147
Social distancing could have
a devastating effect
28
00:01:44,191 --> 00:01:46,149
on people fighting
with depression.
29
00:01:46,193 --> 00:01:48,108
Fear and anxiety
grip the nation
30
00:01:48,151 --> 00:01:52,242
as the unknown cost of life
and living loom in the balance.

[Graham]
How do you respond
when your world is shaken?
32
00:02:09,259 --> 00:02:12,480
When the storms of life
leave you desperate?
33
00:02:14,308 --> 00:02:16,875
The storm that is
affecting the world today,
34
00:02:16,919 --> 00:02:19,617
the coronavirus,
is incredible.
35
00:02:19,661 --> 00:02:21,141
It has changed our country,
36
00:02:21,184 --> 00:02:22,446
it's changed the world,
37
00:02:22,490 --> 00:02:25,754
and who knows the impact
this is going to have
38
00:02:25,797 --> 00:02:27,234
on the economy,
on people's lives
39
00:02:27,277 --> 00:02:28,974
for years to come.
40
00:02:29,018 --> 00:02:30,280
Many people are afraid.
41
00:02:30,324 --> 00:02:31,629
Their hearts have melted.
42
00:02:31,673 --> 00:02:33,762
They don't know
what to do, where to go.
43
00:02:33,805 --> 00:02:35,329
And maybe that's you.
44
00:02:35,372 --> 00:02:37,157
Maybe you are afraid,
45
00:02:37,200 --> 00:02:39,985
and maybe you're not sure
what your future holds.
46
00:02:40,029 --> 00:02:44,033
But I'm here to tell you,
God loves you.
47
00:02:51,867 --> 00:02:54,174
You know, in life, we all go
through storms, don't we?
48
00:02:54,217 --> 00:02:57,177
There are people that have
had financial crises,
49
00:02:57,220 --> 00:02:59,483
or health crises,
or marriage crises.
50
00:02:59,527 --> 00:03:01,833
There's many storms.
51
00:03:01,877 --> 00:03:05,837
The Lord Jesus Himself
was caught in a storm.
52
00:03:05,881 --> 00:03:08,840
And today I want to
take a look at Matthew 8,
53
00:03:08,884 --> 00:03:13,410
at a storm that terrified
Jesus' closest friends.
54
00:03:31,907 --> 00:03:33,822
Jesus and His disciples
get into a boat.
55
00:03:33,865 --> 00:03:35,954
They're going to the other side
of the Sea of Galilee.
56
00:03:35,998 --> 00:03:37,869
Jesus was tired.
57
00:03:37,913 --> 00:03:39,654
He'd been ministering
all day,
58
00:03:39,697 --> 00:03:42,047
and He was just
physically worn out.
59
00:03:42,091 --> 00:03:43,658
So He goes into the boat,
60
00:03:43,701 --> 00:03:47,009
and He lays down and sleeps,
61
00:03:47,052 --> 00:03:49,185
and the disciples
are experienced fishermen.
62
00:03:49,229 --> 00:03:50,708
These guys grew up
on a boat.
63
00:03:50,752 --> 00:03:52,710
They grew up
on the Sea of Galilee.
64
00:03:52,754 --> 00:03:54,538
They knew everything
about sailing,
65
00:03:54,582 --> 00:03:56,236
fishing, rowing boats.
66
00:03:56,279 --> 00:03:57,715
It was their life.
67
00:03:57,759 --> 00:03:59,369
This wasn't strange to them.
68
00:03:59,413 --> 00:04:02,242
And all of a sudden,
they find themselves in a storm.
69
00:04:05,114 --> 00:04:07,899
[thunder rumbles]
70
00:04:07,943 --> 00:04:09,510
The storm is violent.
71
00:04:09,553 --> 00:04:12,252
And I believe the devil
was wanting to destroy
72
00:04:12,295 --> 00:04:13,731
the Lord Jesus Christ
73
00:04:13,775 --> 00:04:15,516
and destroy His disciples
that evening.
74
00:04:15,559 --> 00:04:16,908
And the disciples
75
00:04:16,952 --> 00:04:18,736
thought they could handle
this storm on their own.
76
00:04:18,780 --> 00:04:21,043
'Course they were experienced,
they knew how to do this.
77
00:04:21,086 --> 00:04:23,567
They'd been in storms before,
that was nothing new.
78
00:04:23,611 --> 00:04:25,265
But this was different.
79
00:04:25,308 --> 00:04:28,093
And the waves were now
crashing over the boat.
80
00:04:28,137 --> 00:04:30,270
It was filling the boat;
the boat was sinking.
81
00:04:35,797 --> 00:04:37,712
The disciples were afraid.
82
00:04:37,755 --> 00:04:39,191
They're about to lose the boat.
83
00:04:39,235 --> 00:04:41,281
They were gonna drown.
84
00:04:41,324 --> 00:04:45,023
And maybe you feel that
you've lost your savings,
85
00:04:45,067 --> 00:04:47,287
your 401K,
your retirement.
86
00:04:47,330 --> 00:04:48,940
Maybe your marriage
is falling apart.
87
00:04:48,984 --> 00:04:51,116
Your home is coming apart.
88
00:04:51,160 --> 00:04:52,509
You don't see any hope.
89
00:04:53,467 --> 00:04:56,600
Well, I don't have
the answers
90
00:04:56,644 --> 00:04:58,123
for all
of your problems,
91
00:04:58,167 --> 00:04:59,777
but the Lord
Jesus Christ does.
92
00:04:59,821 --> 00:05:02,650
He certainly has
the answers
to your problems
93
00:05:02,693 --> 00:05:04,347
if you'll just
turn to Him.
94
00:05:04,391 --> 00:05:06,349
Just open up
your heart, just say,
95
00:05:06,393 --> 00:05:08,656
"God, I've messed up.
96
00:05:08,699 --> 00:05:09,961
"I'm in the middle
of this storm
97
00:05:10,005 --> 00:05:11,789
"and I don't know where
to go or what to do."
98
00:05:11,833 --> 00:05:13,661
I'm not saying
the storm passes over.
99
00:05:13,704 --> 00:05:15,663
But He'll take you through it.
100
00:05:22,800 --> 00:05:24,802
The boat was sinking.
101
00:05:24,846 --> 00:05:26,151
And all of a sudden,
102
00:05:26,195 --> 00:05:28,284
they remembered
Jesus is in the boat.
103
00:05:28,328 --> 00:05:30,155
And so they go to Him,
they wake Him up.
104
00:05:30,199 --> 00:05:32,419
"Lord, don't you care that
we're about to perish?
105
00:05:32,462 --> 00:05:34,029
"Aren't you concerned
about this?"
106
00:05:35,030 --> 00:05:37,337
And Jesus quietly
rebukes them.
107
00:05:37,380 --> 00:05:38,816
"O you of little faith."
108
00:05:38,860 --> 00:05:42,254
And He rebukes the wind,
and He rebukes the waves,
109
00:05:42,298 --> 00:05:45,301
and it became instantly still.
110
00:05:56,443 --> 00:05:58,314
And they said
to one another,
111
00:05:58,358 --> 00:06:01,491
"What kind of man
is this?
112
00:06:01,535 --> 00:06:03,319
"Even the wind
and the waves
113
00:06:03,363 --> 00:06:04,320
"obey His voice?"
114
00:06:05,408 --> 00:06:06,627
The disciples
in the middle
of this storm,
115
00:06:06,670 --> 00:06:09,369
they cry out to Jesus
to save them.
116
00:06:10,413 --> 00:06:13,982
And that's a prayer,
"God save me.
117
00:06:14,025 --> 00:06:15,505
"Jesus save me."
118
00:06:15,549 --> 00:06:17,202
Maybe that's
your prayer right now.
119
00:06:17,246 --> 00:06:19,944
"Save me from the storm
that I'm in."
120
00:06:19,988 --> 00:06:21,381
When these storms come
121
00:06:21,424 --> 00:06:23,383
if we put our faith
and trust in Christ,
122
00:06:23,426 --> 00:06:26,690
if He is the Shepherd
of our life,
123
00:06:26,734 --> 00:06:29,867
we don't have to be
afraid of these storms.
124
00:06:37,440 --> 00:06:39,616
[Billy Graham preaching]
Don't let the headlines
frighten you!
125
00:06:41,270 --> 00:06:43,838
Yes, we're living
in a crisis period,
126
00:06:43,881 --> 00:06:45,883
but God is with us in
the midst of the grief.
127
00:06:45,927 --> 00:06:48,408
In the midst of the suffering,
God is there.
128
00:06:50,932 --> 00:06:52,847
O God, we don't
understand it all
129
00:06:52,890 --> 00:06:53,935
but we believe
130
00:06:53,978 --> 00:06:55,284
you're the great
and the mighty God.
131
00:06:56,241 --> 00:06:59,723
God, I believe,
I trust in You,
132
00:06:59,767 --> 00:07:01,551
even if I don't
understand.
133
00:07:05,250 --> 00:07:07,165
God still loves.
134
00:07:07,209 --> 00:07:08,384
And He loves
135
00:07:08,428 --> 00:07:09,690
with such
an everlasting love
136
00:07:09,733 --> 00:07:10,908
that He gave
His Son,
137
00:07:10,952 --> 00:07:11,909
the Lord
Jesus Christ,
138
00:07:11,953 --> 00:07:13,084
to die for you.
139
00:07:13,128 --> 00:07:14,259
And if it were
not for that,
140
00:07:14,303 --> 00:07:15,783
there is no hope
in the world.
141
00:07:17,132 --> 00:07:18,873
And those of us
142
00:07:18,916 --> 00:07:20,309
that follow Him
and serve Him
143
00:07:20,352 --> 00:07:23,138
have a future
that's brighter
than tomorrow!
144
00:07:25,532 --> 00:07:28,578
It is our
glorious task
to give hope
145
00:07:28,622 --> 00:07:30,188
through
the message
of the cross
146
00:07:30,232 --> 00:07:31,538
and
the resurrection
147
00:07:31,581 --> 00:07:32,930
of the Lord
Jesus Christ
148
00:07:32,974 --> 00:07:36,107
Who came to
bring peace
in a broken world.
149
00:07:41,156 --> 00:07:43,114
No matter what
God has in store
150
00:07:43,158 --> 00:07:44,725
for us and
for our world,
151
00:07:44,768 --> 00:07:46,378
let us be found
faithful.
152
00:07:47,554 --> 00:07:49,860
And someday
we will know
153
00:07:49,904 --> 00:07:53,255
all the strife and
the injustice
and the pain
154
00:07:53,298 --> 00:07:54,952
that infect
our world today
155
00:07:54,996 --> 00:07:56,650
is someday
going to be over.
156
00:07:57,607 --> 00:07:59,130
Hallelujah!

[Graham]
During this time
of the coronavirus,
159
00:08:12,361 --> 00:08:13,536
there's so much uncertainty
160
00:08:13,580 --> 00:08:14,972
and people are scared.
161
00:08:15,016 --> 00:08:17,279
And they're looking
and searching
162
00:08:17,322 --> 00:08:19,455
for answers and hope.
163
00:08:21,588 --> 00:08:24,591
There was a politician
not long ago said that
164
00:08:24,634 --> 00:08:26,767
"With every crisis
comes opportunity."
165
00:08:26,810 --> 00:08:29,596
And of course he was talking
about political opportunity.
166
00:08:29,639 --> 00:08:31,162
But I thought about that.
167
00:08:31,206 --> 00:08:33,556
Wow, this crisis has given us
168
00:08:33,600 --> 00:08:36,124
a tremendous opportunity
for evangelism.
169
00:08:36,167 --> 00:08:37,299
People are scared.
170
00:08:37,342 --> 00:08:39,301
In the community,
wherever you are,
171
00:08:39,344 --> 00:08:42,260
wherever you live, there are
people that are afraid.
172
00:08:42,304 --> 00:08:44,262
And to be able,
as a Christian,
173
00:08:44,306 --> 00:08:47,744
to walk by them
and encourage them.
174
00:08:47,788 --> 00:08:49,485
What an opportunity to pray.
175
00:08:49,529 --> 00:08:51,313
To pray for the lost,
176
00:08:51,356 --> 00:08:53,141
to pray for your neighbor
who doesn't know Christ.
177
00:08:53,184 --> 00:08:55,143
Pray for the person who
lives across the street.
178
00:08:55,186 --> 00:08:56,579
There's things that we can do
179
00:08:56,623 --> 00:08:58,015
and I would want
to encourage you
180
00:08:58,059 --> 00:09:00,148
let's find how we can be active
181
00:09:00,191 --> 00:09:02,890
with our neighbors
and friends and family.
182
00:09:02,933 --> 00:09:05,153
And you may be the only one
183
00:09:05,196 --> 00:09:06,981
who can make a difference
in that person's life.
184
00:09:07,024 --> 00:09:08,286
God may be using you
185
00:09:08,330 --> 00:09:10,680
to share the hope that
we have in Jesus Christ.
186
00:09:12,160 --> 00:09:14,902
With the Billy Graham
Association,
187
00:09:14,945 --> 00:09:16,991
I'm not able to do
crusades right now.
188
00:09:17,034 --> 00:09:19,907
Those meetings, we had to
postpone them or cancel them,
189
00:09:19,950 --> 00:09:21,169
so what are we gonna do?
190
00:09:21,212 --> 00:09:23,780
A man called me
a few weeks ago, said,
191
00:09:23,824 --> 00:09:26,174
"Franklin, how 'bout
putting an ad on television?
192
00:09:26,217 --> 00:09:28,611
"Just telling people how to
put their faith in Christ?"
193
00:09:28,655 --> 00:09:31,396
We put that together in
a hotel room,
194
00:09:31,440 --> 00:09:34,704
and had it on TV
within a few days.
195
00:09:35,575 --> 00:09:36,837
...fear that millions
of others have
196
00:09:36,880 --> 00:09:38,708
because of this
coronavirus pandemic.
197
00:09:39,753 --> 00:09:42,799
But I want you to know
that God loves you,
198
00:09:42,843 --> 00:09:44,322
He made you,
He created you.
199
00:09:44,366 --> 00:09:47,151
He knows everything
about your life.
200
00:09:47,195 --> 00:09:48,805
You don't need to be afraid.
201
00:09:48,849 --> 00:09:51,547
Jesus said, "I'll never
leave you nor forsake you."
202
00:09:51,591 --> 00:09:54,637
If you've never invited
Jesus Christ into your heart...
203
00:09:55,899 --> 00:09:57,684
We've got a phone center
that's up and running
204
00:09:57,727 --> 00:09:59,686
and people can call 24/7.
205
00:09:59,729 --> 00:10:03,167
We've got hundreds of people
who can answer the phone
206
00:10:03,211 --> 00:10:06,214
and take a phone call
and pray with a person,
207
00:10:06,257 --> 00:10:07,694
answer the spiritual questions.
208
00:10:07,737 --> 00:10:09,043
[Woman]
Thank you for calling
209
00:10:09,086 --> 00:10:11,001
the Billy Graham
Evangelistic Association.
210
00:10:11,045 --> 00:10:12,699
How may I pray for you?
211
00:10:12,742 --> 00:10:14,570
[Edwards]
Right now people are at home.
212
00:10:14,614 --> 00:10:15,702
People are scared.
213
00:10:15,745 --> 00:10:17,138
People are watching the news.
214
00:10:17,181 --> 00:10:19,575
And how incredible is it
that they, all of a sudden,
215
00:10:19,619 --> 00:10:21,577
while they're watching news
about doom and gloom,
216
00:10:21,621 --> 00:10:23,579
all of a sudden Franklin Graham
comes on and says,
217
00:10:23,623 --> 00:10:26,234
"Here's a message of hope.
Give us a call.
218
00:10:26,277 --> 00:10:27,583
"We want to pray with you."
219
00:10:28,802 --> 00:10:30,978
Dear Father God, thank You
for Lois and for her call...
220
00:10:31,021 --> 00:10:32,414
And Lord, I just ask You
221
00:10:32,457 --> 00:10:35,591
to return the joy of
her salvation to her.
222
00:10:35,635 --> 00:10:38,855
[Edwards] We've got over 600,
going on 700 volunteers.
223
00:10:38,899 --> 00:10:40,596
Got seventy, so
we're bumping it up.
224
00:10:40,640 --> 00:10:42,554
We can kind of cover
these prime times.
225
00:10:42,598 --> 00:10:44,252
We want to share the gospel
with as many people,
226
00:10:44,295 --> 00:10:46,254
and we want to do it
as well as we possibly can.
227
00:10:46,297 --> 00:10:47,734
We want to answer every call.
228
00:10:47,777 --> 00:10:49,387
That's a challenge.
229
00:10:49,431 --> 00:10:52,086
It's a hard challenge but we're
excited for that opportunity.
230
00:10:53,348 --> 00:10:57,308
[Man]
People are calling for prayer
for a variety of needs.
231
00:10:58,353 --> 00:11:00,094
When they receive
the Lord for the first time,
232
00:11:00,137 --> 00:11:04,098
uhm, we have a little bell
over here that we ring
233
00:11:04,141 --> 00:11:06,100
and announce it
to everyone in the room
234
00:11:06,143 --> 00:11:07,449
and then everybody claps
235
00:11:07,492 --> 00:11:08,755
because we know that
the heavens
236
00:11:08,798 --> 00:11:10,278
are rejoicing as well.
237
00:11:10,321 --> 00:11:12,019
[Davis]
One of the phone calls
that I got
238
00:11:12,062 --> 00:11:13,890
was from a gentleman
who's in a nursing facility,
239
00:11:13,934 --> 00:11:15,718
worried about the coronavirus.
240
00:11:15,762 --> 00:11:17,938
When I asked him
where he would go
241
00:11:17,981 --> 00:11:19,853
if he died today,
would he go to heaven?
242
00:11:19,896 --> 00:11:21,463
He said, "I don't know."
243
00:11:21,506 --> 00:11:23,726
So I was able to go through
244
00:11:23,770 --> 00:11:26,076
the plan of salvation with him
and he said,
245
00:11:26,120 --> 00:11:28,122
"I want to pray that.
I want to do that."
246
00:11:28,165 --> 00:11:30,167
And I said, "I'm gonna
lead you through all that."
247
00:11:30,211 --> 00:11:31,865
I lift him up to You, Father,
248
00:11:31,908 --> 00:11:33,649
and I pray that You
would bless him.
249
00:11:33,693 --> 00:11:36,130
I've heard our bell
ring here more
250
00:11:36,173 --> 00:11:38,741
in these last couple weeks
than we have since,
251
00:11:38,785 --> 00:11:40,743
when Billy Graham actually
passed away.
252
00:11:46,836 --> 00:11:49,143
We're going to do what we can
to try to encourage people.
253
00:11:49,186 --> 00:11:51,972
If we don't share the hope
that we have in Jesus Christ,
254
00:11:52,015 --> 00:11:54,191
who's gonna share
that with them?
255
00:11:57,020 --> 00:12:01,329
People from other countries
around the world are searching,
256
00:12:01,372 --> 00:12:03,766
searching for God,
searching for answers,
257
00:12:03,810 --> 00:12:07,814
and we've built special landing
pages in six different languages
258
00:12:07,857 --> 00:12:10,817
where people right now
in another country
259
00:12:10,860 --> 00:12:12,470
can go to that landing page
260
00:12:12,514 --> 00:12:15,952
and get the answers that
they're looking for.
261
00:12:15,996 --> 00:12:18,694
I want the world to know
that God loves them
262
00:12:18,738 --> 00:12:21,741
and that Jesus Christ is
there for them now.
263
00:12:25,962 --> 00:12:28,530
[Martin]
As the coronavirus problem
began in China
264
00:12:28,573 --> 00:12:29,923
and was exploding,
265
00:12:29,966 --> 00:12:32,708
we realized that
we had an opportunity
266
00:12:32,752 --> 00:12:34,188
through the Mandarin
Chinese ministry
267
00:12:34,231 --> 00:12:37,713
to build a landing page and
begin to advertise to it
268
00:12:37,757 --> 00:12:39,846
so people could find
hope in Christ
269
00:12:39,889 --> 00:12:41,673
in the midst of this crisis.
270
00:12:41,717 --> 00:12:44,720
And then we were able to take
that into the other languages
271
00:12:44,764 --> 00:12:46,026
that we do ministry in
272
00:12:46,069 --> 00:12:49,072
because the problem was
moving around the world.
273
00:12:50,465 --> 00:12:52,728
We have trained volunteers
all over the place
274
00:12:52,772 --> 00:12:54,382
who are online,
offering hope,
275
00:12:54,425 --> 00:12:56,863
personally engaging and
interacting with our visitors.
276
00:12:56,906 --> 00:12:59,213
All right, just making sure
you guys can hear me.
277
00:12:59,256 --> 00:13:00,388
Can you see me okay?
278
00:13:00,431 --> 00:13:02,085
Adjust that, how's that?
279
00:13:03,130 --> 00:13:05,697
How's that look?
Do I have it where you need me?
280
00:13:05,741 --> 00:13:06,960
Being a chat coach
281
00:13:07,003 --> 00:13:09,397
in internet evangelism,
282
00:13:09,440 --> 00:13:13,618
we go on the internet and we
speak to people who come on
283
00:13:13,662 --> 00:13:16,230
who either have questions
about Jesus Christ
284
00:13:16,273 --> 00:13:18,754
or just come on to want to pray.
285
00:13:19,929 --> 00:13:21,583
What we're going through
right now with the pandemic
286
00:13:21,626 --> 00:13:23,454
there's a lot of fear
and anxiety
287
00:13:23,498 --> 00:13:26,718
and we strongly believe
that our ministry
288
00:13:26,762 --> 00:13:31,027
has been placed just at
the forefront in this time
289
00:13:31,071 --> 00:13:33,987
when there's a lot of fear;
290
00:13:34,030 --> 00:13:36,816
when there's really
not that many options.
291
00:13:37,468 --> 00:13:38,730
Being from Canada,
292
00:13:38,774 --> 00:13:40,384
I talk with people from like,
293
00:13:40,428 --> 00:13:42,038
Fiji, from Ghana,
294
00:13:42,082 --> 00:13:43,866
from South Africa,
295
00:13:43,910 --> 00:13:45,781
from Australia,
from New Zealand.
296
00:13:45,825 --> 00:13:47,609
No matter where
you are in the world,
297
00:13:47,652 --> 00:13:50,264
people have
the same struggles,
the same questions.
298
00:13:51,308 --> 00:13:54,659
And the answer is
always the same--
Jesus.
299
00:13:55,922 --> 00:13:57,097
[Martin] In these first weeks,
300
00:13:57,140 --> 00:13:58,794
over a hundred thousand people
301
00:13:58,838 --> 00:14:00,491
have come to our landing pages.
302
00:14:00,535 --> 00:14:02,667
Over 10,000 have indicated
303
00:14:02,711 --> 00:14:04,104
decisions for Christ.
304
00:14:04,974 --> 00:14:06,802
Our volunteers are
busy and excited
305
00:14:06,846 --> 00:14:08,108
to reach people.
306
00:14:09,370 --> 00:14:10,632
It's the most
important thing
307
00:14:10,675 --> 00:14:12,460
that I do
in my life,
308
00:14:12,503 --> 00:14:14,244
when you know that
you made a difference
309
00:14:14,288 --> 00:14:16,594
by the Lord using you.
310
00:14:16,638 --> 00:14:18,945
When I realized
I've helped someone
311
00:14:18,988 --> 00:14:21,643
recognize who
they are in Christ
312
00:14:21,686 --> 00:14:23,079
and how much
He loves them,
313
00:14:23,123 --> 00:14:25,690
that brings me
great joy.
314
00:14:27,562 --> 00:14:29,520
[Graham]
During this time
of the coronavirus,
315
00:14:29,564 --> 00:14:30,739
churches are closed
316
00:14:30,782 --> 00:14:35,309
and Christians are
scattered in many ways.
317
00:14:36,397 --> 00:14:38,312
But there's also something else
that's taking place.
318
00:14:38,355 --> 00:14:39,922
We have chaplains deployed
319
00:14:39,966 --> 00:14:42,316
to the Samaritan's Purse
field hospitals
320
00:14:42,359 --> 00:14:44,361
in Italy and
also up in New York,
321
00:14:44,405 --> 00:14:46,624
dealing with the raw emotion
322
00:14:46,668 --> 00:14:50,193
of people struggling with
death and sickness.
323
00:14:51,412 --> 00:14:53,283
And there,
right in the middle of it,
324
00:14:53,327 --> 00:14:54,284
we have opportunity
325
00:14:54,328 --> 00:14:55,677
to pray with people
326
00:14:55,720 --> 00:14:58,854
and have people turn
their lives to Jesus Christ.
327
00:14:59,899 --> 00:15:03,076
It was in the news yesterday
328
00:15:03,119 --> 00:15:05,165
that just touched my heart,
329
00:15:05,208 --> 00:15:07,254
was a person was saying
330
00:15:07,297 --> 00:15:09,952
that their loved one
had passed away
331
00:15:09,996 --> 00:15:11,867
and they died alone
332
00:15:11,911 --> 00:15:14,696
because we could not
come into the hospital
333
00:15:14,739 --> 00:15:16,002
to be with them.
334
00:15:16,045 --> 00:15:17,699
And I thought to myself,
335
00:15:17,742 --> 00:15:20,963
if someone passed away,
they will not die alone.
336
00:15:21,007 --> 00:15:23,009
Our chaplains will be there
to pray for them,
337
00:15:23,052 --> 00:15:24,749
to pray with the families.
338
00:15:42,767 --> 00:15:45,727
This deployment
is different than any
339
00:15:45,770 --> 00:15:48,730
that I have ever been on
because it's dealing with
340
00:15:48,773 --> 00:15:51,472
an infectious disease
that is deadly.
341
00:15:54,257 --> 00:15:57,913
I was asked, "Why would you
even go to New York
342
00:15:57,957 --> 00:15:59,610
"in a time like this?"
343
00:16:02,787 --> 00:16:04,398
[Denmark]
I'm from New York.
344
00:16:04,441 --> 00:16:06,966
My husband and I here are
deployed to help our city.
345
00:16:08,010 --> 00:16:11,666
In 9/11 it was very quiet
and very fearful.
346
00:16:12,667 --> 00:16:14,451
This is a little bit different.
347
00:16:14,495 --> 00:16:17,628
There's a different
type of a fear.
348
00:16:22,982 --> 00:16:26,202
[Denmark]
Jesus never shied away
from the storm that came.
349
00:16:26,246 --> 00:16:29,814
We as Christians shouldn't
shy away from these storms.
350
00:16:30,641 --> 00:16:33,122
[speaking Spanish]
351
00:16:35,646 --> 00:16:38,780
The COVID's been hopping
from country to country.
352
00:16:40,086 --> 00:16:41,435
[Cole]
It really hits you to think,
353
00:16:41,478 --> 00:16:45,569
there is no behind the lines
around the whole world.
354
00:16:45,613 --> 00:16:47,441
It's incredible.
355
00:16:51,836 --> 00:16:54,100
[Schaafsma]
My neighbor passed away
just the other day.
356
00:16:54,143 --> 00:16:58,017
I feel like the enemy's
right on the street.
357
00:16:59,670 --> 00:17:01,107
I currently live in Milan
358
00:17:01,150 --> 00:17:03,848
and we're all under
lockdown in our homes.
359
00:17:05,154 --> 00:17:07,852
When the call came
to come down here
360
00:17:07,896 --> 00:17:10,072
and be an interface
with Samaritan's Purse
361
00:17:10,116 --> 00:17:12,466
I was more than happy to come.
362
00:17:12,509 --> 00:17:15,034
Who else can you live for
but for Jesus?
363
00:18:01,515 --> 00:18:03,038
Jesus' words in John 16,
364
00:18:03,082 --> 00:18:05,606
"Be of peace
for I have overcome the world."
365
00:18:06,694 --> 00:18:10,219
He's definitely changed
my life.
366
00:18:14,571 --> 00:18:16,530
[Denmark]
It's important for me
to be here
367
00:18:16,573 --> 00:18:19,185
to be Christ's hands
and feet extended.
368
00:18:19,228 --> 00:18:22,449
I've been able to
speak to many people.
369
00:18:22,492 --> 00:18:24,320
They're so thankful,
370
00:18:24,364 --> 00:18:25,756
so grateful
that we're here.
371
00:18:27,062 --> 00:18:28,194
[Clark]
The neighbors
are curious.
372
00:18:28,237 --> 00:18:30,370
Curiosity on the street
is magnificent,
373
00:18:30,413 --> 00:18:32,198
want to know what it is
and what's going on,
374
00:18:32,241 --> 00:18:34,200
and we've been able to
share with them
375
00:18:34,243 --> 00:18:36,724
that Jesus brings
a peace to us
376
00:18:36,767 --> 00:18:37,942
that we can't explain.
377
00:18:38,813 --> 00:18:40,554
[Denmark]
My prayer and my hope
378
00:18:40,597 --> 00:18:42,556
is that many would
come to know Him
379
00:18:42,599 --> 00:18:44,166
as personal Savior.
380
00:18:45,254 --> 00:18:46,429
[Man]
The possibilities
381
00:18:46,473 --> 00:18:47,952
of what God can do
through this is mighty.
382
00:18:54,785 --> 00:18:58,137
[Graham]
I want you to know,
God loves you.
383
00:18:59,442 --> 00:19:02,228
You may forget everything else
I've said on this program,
384
00:19:02,271 --> 00:19:04,839
but remember this--
God loves you.
385
00:19:07,842 --> 00:19:09,235
But we have a problem.
386
00:19:09,278 --> 00:19:11,324
And that problem is sin.
387
00:19:11,367 --> 00:19:14,370
You see, our sins
separate us from God.
388
00:19:14,414 --> 00:19:16,938
God made us,
He created us, He loves us,
389
00:19:16,981 --> 00:19:18,896
but the Bible says
we've all sinned.
390
00:19:18,940 --> 00:19:23,292
We've all come short
of God's standard, His glory.
391
00:19:24,641 --> 00:19:28,341
The Bible says that,
"The wages of sin is death."
392
00:19:28,384 --> 00:19:30,125
That's the penalty, is death.
393
00:19:30,169 --> 00:19:33,476
So the entire human race
is under a death sentence.
394
00:19:34,825 --> 00:19:38,133
But yet,
"God so loved the world,
395
00:19:39,221 --> 00:19:41,615
"that He gave
His only begotten Son,
396
00:19:41,658 --> 00:19:43,747
"that whosoever
believeth in Him,
397
00:19:43,791 --> 00:19:45,619
"should not perish
398
00:19:45,662 --> 00:19:47,577
"but should have
everlasting life."
399
00:19:47,621 --> 00:19:50,537
God sent His Son
Jesus Christ
to take our sins.
400
00:19:50,580 --> 00:19:54,149
And He took our sins
to the cross.
401
00:19:54,193 --> 00:19:58,675
And the cross was
what the Romans used
for execution.
402
00:19:59,720 --> 00:20:02,810
And it's the most
horrible, cruel death
403
00:20:02,853 --> 00:20:04,638
that a person
could imagine.
404
00:20:04,681 --> 00:20:06,596
And sometimes
it took days
405
00:20:06,640 --> 00:20:08,381
for a person to
die on the cross.
406
00:20:08,424 --> 00:20:11,993
And Jesus
went willingly
to that cross.
407
00:20:12,036 --> 00:20:13,777
And while
He was there,
408
00:20:13,821 --> 00:20:16,476
God poured out
on His Son
409
00:20:16,519 --> 00:20:18,478
the sins past,
410
00:20:18,521 --> 00:20:19,783
the sins present,
411
00:20:19,827 --> 00:20:21,350
the sins future,
that's us.
412
00:20:22,395 --> 00:20:25,180
He poured on His Son
the sins of mankind.
413
00:20:30,316 --> 00:20:32,840
Jesus became
so ugly and so dirty
414
00:20:32,883 --> 00:20:35,277
that God turned His back
on His Son.
415
00:20:37,540 --> 00:20:38,846
And Jesus said,
416
00:20:38,889 --> 00:20:41,022
"My God, My God,
why has Thou abandoned Me?"
417
00:20:41,065 --> 00:20:43,067
That's how serious it was.
418
00:20:53,077 --> 00:20:54,557
Many people think
419
00:20:54,601 --> 00:20:57,038
that the good things they've
done in their life counts.
420
00:20:57,081 --> 00:21:00,171
The Bible says it's by grace
that we're saved, through faith.
421
00:21:00,215 --> 00:21:03,914
"It's not of works,
lest any man should boast."
422
00:21:03,958 --> 00:21:06,656
It's not your works
that saves you.
423
00:21:07,962 --> 00:21:10,617
Just because we are religious
doesn't mean that we're saved.
424
00:21:10,660 --> 00:21:12,096
It doesn't mean we're forgiven.
425
00:21:12,140 --> 00:21:14,751
I grew up in a Christian home,
had wonderful parents.
426
00:21:14,795 --> 00:21:16,492
My father was an evangelist.
427
00:21:16,536 --> 00:21:18,233
My mother,
not only a homemaker,
428
00:21:18,277 --> 00:21:20,714
but she grew up
in a missionary family to China.
429
00:21:20,757 --> 00:21:22,324
That couldn't save me.
430
00:21:22,368 --> 00:21:23,760
My parents could not save me.
431
00:21:23,804 --> 00:21:26,328
They loved me,
they prayed for me,
432
00:21:26,372 --> 00:21:27,547
they cared about me,
433
00:21:27,590 --> 00:21:29,244
but they could not save me
from my sins.
434
00:21:29,288 --> 00:21:32,508
I know that there was a,
like a black hole in my life.
435
00:21:33,814 --> 00:21:36,207
Everything I tried
didn't fill it.
436
00:21:36,251 --> 00:21:37,557
I mean, you could have fun,
437
00:21:37,600 --> 00:21:40,037
but there was an emptiness.
438
00:21:40,081 --> 00:21:43,389
I couldn't describe it,
just an emptiness.
439
00:21:43,432 --> 00:21:46,870
I remember a few years ago
there was a rock star
440
00:21:46,914 --> 00:21:49,264
committed suicide
and he left
441
00:21:49,308 --> 00:21:50,874
a note beside his body
442
00:21:50,918 --> 00:21:53,268
and he talked about
a great, big, black, empty hole
443
00:21:53,312 --> 00:21:55,314
that had opened up
in his life.
444
00:21:59,143 --> 00:22:01,276
And drugs didn't fill it,
sex didn't fill it,
445
00:22:01,320 --> 00:22:02,538
fame didn't fill it.
446
00:22:03,800 --> 00:22:06,629
And that emptiness--
and he took his life.
447
00:22:09,284 --> 00:22:10,894
There was a void,
a vacuum.
448
00:22:10,938 --> 00:22:12,374
And that void
and that vacuum,
449
00:22:12,418 --> 00:22:13,941
if you say,
"Well, Franklin, that's me."
450
00:22:13,984 --> 00:22:16,596
Well, that void and vacuum
was created by God
451
00:22:16,639 --> 00:22:18,772
and it's to be
filled by Him.
452
00:22:18,815 --> 00:22:19,990
And if we
don't have
453
00:22:20,034 --> 00:22:21,252
that relationship
with God,
454
00:22:21,296 --> 00:22:22,645
then that
emptiness is there.
455
00:22:23,472 --> 00:22:24,430
But when we
come to God
456
00:22:24,473 --> 00:22:25,431
and put our faith
and trust
457
00:22:25,474 --> 00:22:26,736
in His Son
Jesus Christ,
458
00:22:26,780 --> 00:22:29,260
the Holy Spirit of God
comes into our heart
459
00:22:29,304 --> 00:22:31,306
and fills that vacuum,
fills that void.
460
00:22:31,350 --> 00:22:33,308
And that's what I did
when I was twenty-two,
461
00:22:33,352 --> 00:22:34,701
I prayed this prayer.
462
00:22:34,744 --> 00:22:36,137
God, I'm a sinner.
463
00:22:36,180 --> 00:22:38,792
I'm sorry,
forgive me of my sins.
464
00:22:38,835 --> 00:22:40,968
I believe
Jesus is Your Son.
465
00:22:41,011 --> 00:22:43,449
I believe that
He died for my sins.
466
00:22:43,492 --> 00:22:45,451
I believe You
raised Him to life
467
00:22:45,494 --> 00:22:47,104
and I want Him to
come into my heart
468
00:22:47,148 --> 00:22:48,715
and take control
of my life right now.
469
00:22:48,758 --> 00:22:50,630
I prayed that,
I was twenty-two.
470
00:22:50,673 --> 00:22:51,848
I didn't know
much more.
471
00:22:51,892 --> 00:22:53,154
I just prayed
that prayer.
472
00:22:53,197 --> 00:22:54,982
I remember that night
I went to bed,
473
00:22:55,025 --> 00:22:56,200
but when I went
to bed that night
474
00:22:56,244 --> 00:22:57,332
I sensed
that there was
475
00:22:57,376 --> 00:22:58,638
something different
now in my life.
476
00:22:58,681 --> 00:22:59,987
I woke up
the next morning...
477
00:23:00,030 --> 00:23:02,119
oh, I had a headache.
478
00:23:02,163 --> 00:23:03,860
I had some issues,
479
00:23:03,904 --> 00:23:06,341
but I knew something
was different,
480
00:23:06,385 --> 00:23:07,560
because when
I prayed that prayer,
481
00:23:07,603 --> 00:23:09,866
I meant it,
I gave Him my life,
482
00:23:09,910 --> 00:23:12,173
and He took
control of my life
483
00:23:12,216 --> 00:23:13,348
at that moment.
484
00:23:14,305 --> 00:23:15,481
I've been through
many storms,
485
00:23:15,524 --> 00:23:17,352
but He's never left me.
486
00:23:17,396 --> 00:23:18,353
Not one time.
487
00:23:22,052 --> 00:23:25,012
All of us are going to have
to face death at some point.
488
00:23:27,710 --> 00:23:31,192
Whether it's the coronavirus
or cancer or a car wreck
489
00:23:31,235 --> 00:23:34,325
or just old age, it's coming.
490
00:23:34,369 --> 00:23:36,415
And it's coming for all of us.
491
00:23:37,807 --> 00:23:41,376
And the point is, where are
we going to spend eternity?
492
00:23:42,333 --> 00:23:44,466
Are we going to be
in heaven with God,
493
00:23:44,510 --> 00:23:46,860
or are we going to be
separated from Him?
494
00:23:46,903 --> 00:23:49,036
But you have to
make that choice.
495
00:23:49,993 --> 00:23:52,387
Jesus Christ came to
save us from our sins,
496
00:23:52,431 --> 00:23:54,041
but you have to
accept it by faith.
497
00:23:55,172 --> 00:23:56,696
Jesus said, "I'm the way,
the truth, and the life."
498
00:23:56,739 --> 00:24:00,047
He said, "No man comes
unto the Father but by Me."
499
00:24:00,090 --> 00:24:02,397
And how could He say
something like that?
500
00:24:02,441 --> 00:24:03,746
How could He say,
501
00:24:03,790 --> 00:24:05,792
"I'm the way, I'm the truth,
and I'm the life"?
502
00:24:05,835 --> 00:24:09,491
And "no man,"
no person, no individual
503
00:24:09,535 --> 00:24:12,712
"comes to the Father God
except through Me."
504
00:24:12,755 --> 00:24:15,105
And the reason He could
say that is because
505
00:24:15,149 --> 00:24:19,240
He is the only one in history
to take the sins of mankind.
506
00:24:19,283 --> 00:24:22,373
Only Jesus Christ, and He
took our sins to the grave.
507
00:24:22,417 --> 00:24:24,941
And on the third day,
God raised His Son to life.
508
00:24:24,985 --> 00:24:26,465
Jesus is not dead.
509
00:24:27,770 --> 00:24:31,731
He's alive and He'll
come into your heart.
510
00:24:31,774 --> 00:24:34,864
He'll come into your life
if you'll invite Him.
511
00:24:36,344 --> 00:24:39,216
Today God wants to forgive sin.
512
00:24:39,260 --> 00:24:41,262
He's eager to forgive sin,
513
00:24:41,305 --> 00:24:42,916
but we've got to be
willing to repent.
514
00:24:42,959 --> 00:24:46,267
And repentance means
we turn from that sin.
515
00:24:46,310 --> 00:24:48,269
Jesus Christ came to save us.
516
00:24:48,312 --> 00:24:49,749
He came on a rescue mission.
517
00:24:49,792 --> 00:24:51,446
He didn't come to
condemn the world;
518
00:24:51,490 --> 00:24:53,622
He came to save the world.
519
00:25:01,325 --> 00:25:02,936
I want to ask you
a question:
520
00:25:02,979 --> 00:25:04,459
Who's the Lord
of your life?
521
00:25:04,503 --> 00:25:05,721
Have you
found yourself
522
00:25:05,765 --> 00:25:07,767
now in this storm,
in a mess?
523
00:25:07,810 --> 00:25:09,595
If you're trying
to do this yourself,
524
00:25:09,638 --> 00:25:10,726
you're gonna fail.
525
00:25:10,770 --> 00:25:11,988
Only God
can do this.
526
00:25:12,032 --> 00:25:13,120
If you've
never invited
527
00:25:13,163 --> 00:25:14,469
Jesus Christ
into your heart,
528
00:25:14,513 --> 00:25:17,472
you can do that
right now.
529
00:25:17,516 --> 00:25:19,605
That's right,
right this second.
530
00:25:19,648 --> 00:25:21,563
And what
I want to do is
531
00:25:21,607 --> 00:25:22,738
just pray
a prayer with you.
532
00:25:22,782 --> 00:25:23,739
I want to lead you
in that prayer.
533
00:25:23,783 --> 00:25:24,871
Just repeat
this prayer
534
00:25:24,914 --> 00:25:26,960
in your heart,
after me.
535
00:25:27,003 --> 00:25:31,181
Just say, "Dear God,
I'm a sinner.
536
00:25:31,225 --> 00:25:33,619
"Forgive me
of my sins.
537
00:25:33,662 --> 00:25:36,578
"I believe Jesus Christ
is Your Son.
538
00:25:36,622 --> 00:25:39,886
"I believe that
He died for my sins,
539
00:25:39,929 --> 00:25:42,802
"that You raised
Him to life.
540
00:25:42,845 --> 00:25:44,978
"And I'd like
to invite Him
541
00:25:45,021 --> 00:25:46,153
"to come
into my heart
542
00:25:46,196 --> 00:25:48,329
"to take control
of my life
543
00:25:48,372 --> 00:25:52,376
"from this moment
forward, forever.
544
00:25:52,420 --> 00:25:56,119
"And I pray this
in Jesus' name.
545
00:25:56,163 --> 00:25:57,860
"Amen."
