--> 00:13:21,583 What we're going through right now with the pandemic 288 00:13:21,626 --> 00:13:23,454 there's a lot of fear and anxiety 289 00:13:23,498 --> 00:13:26,718 and we strongly believe that our ministry 290 00:13:26,762 --> 00:13:31,027 has been placed just at the forefront in this time 291 00:13:31,071 --> 00:13:33,987 when there's a lot of fear; 292 00:13:34,030 --> 00:13:36,816 when there's really not that many options. 293 00:13:37,468 --> 00:13:38,730 Being from Canada, 294 00:13:38,774 --> 00:13:40,384 I talk with people from like, 295 00:13:40,428 --> 00:13:42,038 Fiji, from

299 00:13:47,652 --> 00:13:50,264 people have the same struggles, the same questions. 300 00:13:51,308 --> 00:13:54,659 And the answer is always the same-- Jesus. 301 00:13:55,922 --> 00:13:57,097 [Martin] In these first weeks, 302 00:13:57,140 --> 00:13:58,794 over a hundred thousand people 303 00:13:58,838 --> 00:14:00,491 have come to our landing pages. 304 00:14:00,535 --> 00:14:02,667 Over 10,000 have indicated 305 00:14:02,711 --> 00:14:04,104 decisions for Christ. 306 00:14:04,974 --> 00:14:06,802 Our volunteers are busy and excited 307 00:14:06,846 --> 00:14:08,108 to reach people. 308 00:14:09,370 --> 00:14:10,632 It's the most important thing 309 00:14:10,675 --> 00:14:12,460 that I do in my life, 310 00:14:12,503 --> 00:14:14,244 when you know that you made a difference 311 00:14:14,288 --> 00:14:16,594 by the Lord using you. 312 00:14:16,638 --> 00:14:18,945 When I realized I've helped someone 313 00:14:18,988 --> 00:14:21,643 recognize who they are in Christ 314 00:14:21,686 --> 00:14:23,079 and how much He loves them, 315 00:14:23,123 --> 00:14:25,690 that brings me great joy. 316 00:14:27,562 --> 00:14:29,520 [Graham] During this time of the coronavirus, 317 00:14:29,564 --> 00:14:30,739 churches are closed 318 00:14:30,782 --> 00:14:35,309 and Christians are scattered in many ways. 319 00:14:36,397 --> 00:14:38,312 But there's also something else that's taking place. 320 00:14:38,355 --> 00:14:39,922 We have chaplains deployed 321 00:14:39,966 --> 00:14:42,316 to the Samaritan's Purse field hospitals 322 00:14:42,359 --> 00:14:44,361 in Italy and also up in New York, 323 00:14:44,405 --> 00:14:46,624 dealing with the raw emotion 324 00:14:46,668 --> 00:14:50,193 of people struggling with death and sickness. 325 00:14:51,412 --> 00:14:53,283 And there, right in the middle of it, 326 00:14:53,327 --> 00:14:54,284 we have opportunity 327 00:14:54,328 --> 00:14:55,677 to pray with people 328 00:14:55,720 --> 00:14:58,854 and have people turn their lives to Jesus Christ. 329 00:14:59,899 --> 00:15:03,076 It was in the news yesterday 330 00:15:03,119 --> 00:15:05,165 that just touched my heart, 331 00:15:05,208 --> 00:15:07,254 was a person was saying 332 00:15:07,297 --> 00:15:09,952 that their loved one had passed away 333 00:15:09,996 --> 00:15:11,867 and they died alone 334 00:15:11,911 --> 00:15:14,696 because we could not come into the hospital 335 00:15:14,739 --> 00:15:16,002 to be with them. 336 00:15:16,045 --> 00:15:17,699 And I thought to myself, 337 00:15:17,742 --> 00:15:20,963 if someone passed away, they will not die alone. 338 00:15:21,007 --> 00:15:23,009 Our chaplains will be there to pray for them, 339 00:15:23,052 --> 00:15:24,749 to pray with the families. 340 00:15:42,767 --> 00:15:45,727 This deployment is different than any 341 00:15:45,770 --> 00:15:48,730 that I have ever been on because it's dealing with 342 00:15:48,773 --> 00:15:51,472 an infectious disease that is deadly. 343 00:15:54,257 --> 00:15:57,913 I was asked, "Why would you even go to New York 344 00:15:57,957 --> 00:15:59,610 "in a time like this?" 345 00:16:02,787 --> 00:16:04,398 [Denmark] I'm from New York. 346 00:16:04,441 --> 00:16:06,966 My husband and I here are deployed to help our city. 347 00:16:08,010 --> 00:16:11,666 In 9/11 it was very quiet and very fearful. 348 00:16:12,667 --> 00:16:14,451 This is a little bit different. 349 00:16:14,495 --> 00:16:17,628 There's a different type of a fear. 350 00:16:22,982 --> 00:16:26,202 [Denmark] Jesus never shied away from the storm that came. 351 00:16:26,246 --> 00:16:29,814 We as Christians shouldn't shy away from these storms. 352 00:16:30,641 --> 00:16:33,122 [speaking Spanish] 353 00:16:35,646 --> 00:16:38,780 The COVID's been hopping from country to country. 354 00:16:40,086 --> 00:16:41,435 [Cole] It really hits you to think, 355 00:16:41,478 --> 00:16:45,569 there is no behind the lines around the whole world. 356 00:16:45,613 --> 00:16:47,441 It's incredible. 357 00:16:51,836 --> 00:16:54,100 [Schaafsma] My neighbor passed away just the other day. 358 00:16:54,143 --> 00:16:58,017 I feel like the enemy's right on the street. 359 00:16:59,670 --> 00:17:01,107 I currently live in Milan 360 00:17:01,150 --> 00:17:03,848 and we're all under lockdown in our homes. 361 00:17:05,154 --> 00:17:07,852 When the call came to come down here 362 00:17:07,896 --> 00:17:10,072 and be an interface with Samaritan's Purse 363 00:17:10,116 --> 00:17:12,466 I was more than happy to come. 364 00:17:12,509 --> 00:17:15,034 Who else can you live for but for Jesus? 365 00:18:01,515 --> 00:18:03,038 Jesus' words in John 16, 366 00:18:03,082 --> 00:18:05,606 "Be of peace for I have overcome the world." 367 00:18:06,694 --> 00:18:10,219 He's definitely changed my life. 368 00:18:14,571 --> 00:18:16,530 [Denmark] It's important for me to be here 369 00:18:16,573 --> 00:18:19,185 to be Christ's hands and feet extended. 370 00:18:19,228 --> 00:18:22,449 I've been able to speak to many people. 371 00:18:22,492 --> 00:18:24,320 They're so thankful, 372 00:18:24,364 --> 00:18:25,756 so grateful that we're here. 373 00:18:27,062 --> 00:18:28,194 [Clark] The neighbors are curious. 374 00:18:28,237 --> 00:18:30,370 Curiosity on the street is magnificent, 375 00:18:30,413 --> 00:18:32,198 want to know what it is and what's going on, 376 00:18:32,241 --> 00:18:34,200 and we've been able to share with them 377 00:18:34,243 --> 00:18:36,724 that Jesus brings a peace to us 378 00:18:36,767 --> 00:18:37,942 that we can't explain. 379 00:18:38,813 --> 00:18:40,554 [Denmark] My prayer and my hope 380 00:18:40,597 --> 00:18:42,556 is that many would come to know Him 381 00:18:42,599 --> 00:18:44,166 as personal Savior. 382 00:18:45,254 --> 00:18:46,429 [Man] The possibilities 383 00:18:46,473 --> 00:18:47,952 of what God can do through this is mighty. 384 00:18:54,785 --> 00:18:58,137 [Graham] I want you to know, God loves you. 385 00:18:59,442 --> 00:19:02,228 You may forget everything else I've said on this program, 386 00:19:02,271 --> 00:19:04,839 but remember this-- God loves you. 387 00:19:07,842 --> 00:19:09,235 But we have a problem. 388 00:19:09,278 --> 00:19:11,324 And that problem is sin. 389 00:19:11,367 --> 00:19:14,370 You see, our sins separate us from God. 390 00:19:14,414 --> 00:19:16,938 God made us, He created us, He loves us, 391 00:19:16,981 --> 00:19:18,896 but the Bible says we've all sinned. 392 00:19:18,940 --> 00:19:23,292 We've all come short of God's standard, His glory. 393 00:19:24,641 --> 00:19:28,341 The Bible says that, "The wages of sin is death." 394 00:19:28,384 --> 00:19:30,125 That's the penalty, is death. 395 00:19:30,169 --> 00:19:33,476 So the entire human race is under a death sentence. 396 00:19:34,825 --> 00:19:38,133 But yet, "God so loved the world, 397 00:19:39,221 --> 00:19:41,615 "that He gave His only begotten Son, 398 00:19:41,658 --> 00:19:43,747 "that whosoever believeth in Him, 399 00:19:43,791 --> 00:19:45,619 "should not perish 400 00:19:45,662 --> 00:19:47,577 "but should have everlasting life." 401 00:19:47,621 --> 00:19:50,537 God sent His Son Jesus Christ to take our sins. 402 00:19:50,580 --> 00:19:54,149 And He took our sins to the cross. 403 00:19:54,193 --> 00:19:58,675 And the cross was what the Romans used for execution. 404 00:19:59,720 --> 00:20:02,810 And it's the most horrible, cruel death 405 00:20:02,853 --> 00:20:04,638 that a person could imagine. 406 00:20:04,681 --> 00:20:06,596 And sometimes it took days 407 00:20:06,640 --> 00:20:08,381 for a person to die on the cross. 408 00:20:08,424 --> 00:20:11,993 And Jesus went willingly to that cross. 409 00:20:12,036 --> 00:20:13,777 And while He was there, 410 00:20:13,821 --> 00:20:16,476 God poured out on His Son 411 00:20:16,519 --> 00:20:18,478 the sins past, 412 00:20:18,521 --> 00:20:19,783 the sins present, 413 00:20:19,827 --> 00:20:21,350 the sins future, that's us. 414 00:20:22,395 --> 00:20:25,180 He poured on His Son the sins of mankind. 415 00:20:30,316 --> 00:20:32,840 Jesus became so ugly and so dirty 416 00:20:32,883 --> 00:20:35,277 that God turned His back on His Son. 417 00:20:37,540 --> 00:20:38,846 And Jesus said, 418 00:20:38,889 --> 00:20:41,022 "My God, My God, why has Thou abandoned Me?" 419 00:20:41,065 --> 00:20:43,067 That's how serious it was. 420 00:20:53,077 --> 00:20:54,557 Many people think 421 00:20:54,601 --> 00:20:57,038 that the good things they've done in their life counts. 422 00:20:57,081 --> 00:21:00,171 The Bible says it's by grace that we're saved, through faith. 423 00:21:00,215 --> 00:21:03,914 "It's not of works, lest any man should boast." 424 00:21:03,958 --> 00:21:06,656 It's not your works that saves you. 425 00:21:07,962 --> 00:21:10,617 Just because we are religious doesn't mean that we're saved. 426 00:21:10,660 --> 00:21:12,096 It doesn't mean we're forgiven. 427 00:21:12,140 --> 00:21:14,751 I grew up in a Christian home, had wonderful parents. 428 00:21:14,795 --> 00:21:16,492 My father was an evangelist. 429 00:21:16,536 --> 00:21:18,233 My mother, not only a homemaker, 430 00:21:18,277 --> 00:21:20,714 but she grew up in a missionary family to China. 431 00:21:20,757 --> 00:21:22,324 That couldn't save me. 432 00:21:22,368 --> 00:21:23,760 My parents could not save me. 433 00:21:23,804 --> 00:21:26,328 They loved me, they prayed for me, 434 00:21:26,372 --> 00:21:27,547 they cared about me, 435 00:21:27,590 --> 00:21:29,244 but they could not save me from my sins. 436 00:21:29,288 --> 00:21:32,508 I know that there was a, like a black hole in my life. 437 00:21:33,814 --> 00:21:36,207 Everything I tried didn't fill it. 438 00:21:36,251 --> 00:21:37,557 I mean, you could have fun, 439 00:21:37,600 --> 00:21:40,037 but there was an emptiness. 440 00:21:40,081 --> 00:21:43,389 I couldn't describe it, just an emptiness. 441 00:21:43,432 --> 00:21:46,870 I remember a few years ago there was a rock star 442 00:21:46,914 --> 00:21:49,264 committed suicide and he left 443 00:21:49,308 --> 00:21:50,874 a note beside his body 444 00:21:50,918 --> 00:21:53,268 and he talked about a great, big, black, empty hole 445 00:21:53,312 --> 00:21:55,314 that had opened up in his life. 446 00:21:59,143 --> 00:22:01,276 And drugs didn't fill it, sex didn't fill it, 447 00:22:01,320 --> 00:22:02,538 fame didn't fill it. 448 00:22:03,800 --> 00:22:06,629 And that emptiness-- and he took his life. 449 00:22:09,284 --> 00:22:10,894 There was a void, a vacuum. 450 00:22:10,938 --> 00:22:12,374 And that void and that vacuum, 451 00:22:12,418 --> 00:22:13,941 if you say, "Well, Franklin, that's me." 452 00:22:13,984 --> 00:22:16,596 Well, that void and vacuum was created by God 453 00:22:16,639 --> 00:22:18,772 and it's to be filled by Him. 454 00:22:18,815 --> 00:22:19,990 And if we don't have 455 00:22:20,034 --> 00:22:21,252 that relationship with God, 456 00:22:21,296 --> 00:22:22,645 then that emptiness is there. 457 00:22:23,472 --> 00:22:24,430 But when we come to God 458 00:22:24,473 --> 00:22:25,431 and put our faith and trust 459 00:22:25,474 --> 00:22:26,736 in His Son Jesus Christ, 460 00:22:26,780 --> 00:22:29,260 the Holy Spirit of God comes into our heart 461 00:22:29,304 --> 00:22:31,306 and fills that vacuum, fills that void. 462 00:22:31,350 --> 00:22:33,308 And that's what I did when I was twenty-two, 463 00:22:33,352 --> 00:22:34,701 I prayed this prayer. 464 00:22:34,744 --> 00:22:36,137 God, I'm a sinner. 465 00:22:36,180 --> 00:22:38,792 I'm sorry, forgive me of my sins. 466 00:22:38,835 --> 00:22:40,968 I believe Jesus is Your Son. 467 00:22:41,011 --> 00:22:43,449 I believe that He died for my sins. 468 00:22:43,492 --> 00:22:45,451 I believe You raised Him to life 469 00:22:45,494 --> 00:22:47,104 and I want Him to come into my heart 470 00:22:47,148 --> 00:22:48,715 and take control of my life right now. 471 00:22:48,758 --> 00:22:50,630 I prayed that, I was twenty-two. 472 00:22:50,673 --> 00:22:51,848 I didn't know much more. 473 00:22:51,892 --> 00:22:53,154 I just prayed that prayer. 474 00:22:53,197 --> 00:22:54,982 I remember that night I went to bed, 475 00:22:55,025 --> 00:22:56,200 but when I went to bed that night 476 00:22:56,244 --> 00:22:57,332 I sensed that there was 477 00:22:57,376 --> 00:22:58,638 something different now in my life. 478 00:22:58,681 --> 00:22:59,987 I woke up the next morning... 479 00:23:00,030 --> 00:23:02,119 oh, I had a headache. 480 00:23:02,163 --> 00:23:03,860 I had some issues, 481 00:23:03,904 --> 00:23:06,341 but I knew something was different, 482 00:23:06,385 --> 00:23:07,560 because when I prayed that prayer, 483 00:23:07,603 --> 00:23:09,866 I meant it, I gave Him my life, 484 00:23:09,910 --> 00:23:12,173 and He took control of my life 485 00:23:12,216 --> 00:23:13,348 at that moment. 486 00:23:14,305 --> 00:23:15,481 I've been through many storms, 487 00:23:15,524 --> 00:23:17,352 but He's never left me. 488 00:23:17,396 --> 00:23:18,353 Not one time. 489 00:23:22,052 --> 00:23:25,012 All of us are going to have to face death at some point. 490 00:23:27,710 --> 00:23:31,192 Whether it's the coronavirus or cancer or a car wreck 491 00:23:31,235 --> 00:23:34,325 or just old age, it's coming. 492 00:23:34,369 --> 00:23:36,415 And it's coming for all of us. 493 00:23:37,807 --> 00:23:41,376 And the point is, where are we going to spend eternity? 494 00:23:42,333 --> 00:23:44,466 Are we going to be in heaven with God, 495 00:23:44,510 --> 00:23:46,860 or are we going to be separated from Him? 496 00:23:46,903 --> 00:23:49,036 But you have to make that choice. 497 00:23:49,993 --> 00:23:52,387 Jesus Christ came to save us from our sins, 498 00:23:52,431 --> 00:23:54,041 but you have to accept it by faith. 499 00:23:55,172 --> 00:23:56,696 Jesus said, "I'm the way, the truth, and the life." 500 00:23:56,739 --> 00:24:00,047 He said, "No man comes unto the Father but by Me." 501 00:24:00,090 --> 00:24:02,397 And how could He say something like that? 502 00:24:02,441 --> 00:24:03,746 How could He say, 503 00:24:03,790 --> 00:24:05,792 "I'm the way, I'm the truth, and I'm the life"? 504 00:24:05,835 --> 00:24:09,491 And "no man," no person, no individual 505 00:24:09,535 --> 00:24:12,712 "comes to the Father God except through Me." 506 00:24:12,755 --> 00:24:15,105 And the reason He could say that is because 507 00:24:15,149 --> 00:24:19,240 He is the only one in history to take the sins of mankind. 508 00:24:19,283 --> 00:24:22,373 Only Jesus Christ, and He took our sins to the grave. 509 00:24:22,417 --> 00:24:24,941 And on the third day, God raised His Son to life. 510 00:24:24,985 --> 00:24:26,465 Jesus is not dead. 511 00:24:27,770 --> 00:24:31,731 He's alive and He'll come into your heart. 512 00:24:31,774 --> 00:24:34,864 He'll come into your life if you'll invite Him. 513 00:24:36,344 --> 00:24:39,216 Today God wants to forgive sin. 514 00:24:39,260 --> 00:24:41,262 He's eager to forgive sin, 515 00:24:41,305 --> 00:24:42,916 but we've got to be willing to repent. 516 00:24:42,959 --> 00:24:46,267 And repentance means we turn from that sin. 517 00:24:46,310 --> 00:24:48,269 Jesus Christ came to save us. 518 00:24:48,312 --> 00:24:49,749 He came on a rescue mission. 519 00:24:49,792 --> 00:24:51,446 He didn't come to condemn the world; 520 00:24:51,490 --> 00:24:53,622 He came to save the world. 521 00:25:01,325 --> 00:25:02,936 I want to ask you a question: 522 00:25:02,979 --> 00:25:04,459 Who's the Lord of your life? 523 00:25:04,503 --> 00:25:05,721 Have you found yourself 524 00:25:05,765 --> 00:25:07,767 now in this storm, in a mess? 525 00:25:07,810 --> 00:25:09,595 If you're trying to do this yourself, 526 00:25:09,638 --> 00:25:10,726 you're gonna fail. 527 00:25:10,770 --> 00:25:11,988 Only God can do this. 528 00:25:12,032 --> 00:25:13,120 If you've never invited 529 00:25:13,163 --> 00:25:14,469 Jesus Christ into your heart, 530 00:25:14,513 --> 00:25:17,472 you can do that right now. 531 00:25:17,516 --> 00:25:19,605 That's right, right this second. 532 00:25:19,648 --> 00:25:21,563 And what I want to do is 533 00:25:21,607 --> 00:25:22,738 just pray a prayer with you. 534 00:25:22,782 --> 00:25:23,739 I want to lead you in that prayer. 535 00:25:23,783 --> 00:25:24,871 Just repeat this prayer 536 00:25:24,914 --> 00:25:26,960 in your heart, after me. 537 00:25:27,003 --> 00:25:31,181 Just say, "Dear God, I'm a sinner. 538 00:25:31,225 --> 00:25:33,619 "Forgive me of my sins. 539 00:25:33,662 --> 00:25:36,578 "I believe Jesus
