>> For 15 years, then,
my parents were apart.
00:00:09.342 --> 00:00:11.344 align:start line:63% position:28% size:45%
They separated,
they got divorced.

Dad made a mess
out of things.
00:00:13.480 --> 00:00:15.482 align:start line:63% position:23% size:55%
Had all the attributes
as a young teenager
00:00:15.548 --> 00:00:17.550 align:center line:63% position:50% size:58%
of someone that doesn't
have a father.
00:00:17.617 --> 00:00:19.953 align:start line:63% position:20% size:58%
I was looking for love;
I was looking in
the wrong places,
00:00:20.019 --> 00:00:22.055 align:center line:63% position:50% size:40%
I was a leader
but I led people
00:00:22.122 --> 00:00:24.891 align:center line:63% position:50% size:55%
in the wrong direction
until I met Jesus.
00:00:24.958 --> 00:00:27.861 align:start line:63% position:20% size:58%
And then, God radically
changed my life.

After his father
abandoned the family,
00:00:30.430 --> 00:00:33.500 align:center line:10% position:50% size:53%
Billy Wilson was left
with a lifelong wound
00:00:33.566 --> 00:00:36.002 align:center line:10% position:50% size:40%
he describes
as a Father Cry.

about today.
00:00:56.423 --> 00:00:57.557 align:start line:63% position:10% size:68%
I'm excited about every day
00:00:57.624 --> 00:00:58.825 align:start line:63% position:10% size:53%
because Jesus is Lord
00:00:58.892 --> 00:01:00.193 align:start line:63% position:10% size:33%

I'm excited because I've got
00:01:04.664 --> 00:01:05.665 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
a guest; I just have
00:01:05.732 --> 00:01:06.866 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
to call him Billy,
00:01:06.933 --> 00:01:08.168 align:start line:85% position:10% size:33%
Billy Wilson.
00:01:08.234 --> 00:01:09.302 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
Billy Graham let everybody
00:01:09.369 --> 00:01:10.570 align:start line:85% position:10% size:38%
call him Billy.
00:01:10.637 --> 00:01:11.771 align:start line:85% position:10% size:33%
Well, this is
00:01:11.838 --> 00:01:12.972 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
Dr. Billy Wilson.
00:01:13.039 --> 00:01:14.140 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
He's the president now
00:01:14.207 --> 00:01:15.275 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
of Oral Roberts University.
00:01:15.341 --> 00:01:16.810 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
I got to be real close
00:01:16.876 --> 00:01:18.378 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
to Oral, which was quite
00:01:18.445 --> 00:01:19.546 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
an amazing thing for
00:01:19.612 --> 00:01:21.047 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
a Baptist to really become
00:01:21.114 --> 00:01:23.650 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
so close to a Pentecostal
00:01:23.716 --> 00:01:24.984 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
that even the Pentecostals
00:01:25.051 --> 00:01:26.252 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
were criticizing.
00:01:26.319 --> 00:01:27.387 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
Everybody's criticizing.
00:01:27.454 --> 00:01:28.455 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
His Methodist family
00:01:28.521 --> 00:01:29.489 align:start line:85% position:10% size:35%
criticized and
00:01:29.556 --> 00:01:30.523 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
Baptists are good
00:01:30.590 --> 00:01:31.591 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
at criticizing everybody.
00:01:31.658 --> 00:01:32.692 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
I went to Oral to ask him
00:01:32.759 --> 00:01:33.893 align:start line:85% position:10% size:35%
to forgive me,
00:01:33.960 --> 00:01:35.695 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
and he started crying.
00:01:35.762 --> 00:01:37.464 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
I said, "I think God told me,
00:01:37.530 --> 00:01:38.531 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
you've been lonely, Oral."
00:01:38.598 --> 00:01:39.766 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
He said, "You don't know
00:01:39.833 --> 00:01:40.834 align:start line:85% position:10% size:30%
how lonely."
00:01:40.900 --> 00:01:42.035 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
I said, "Well, I'm going
00:01:42.101 --> 00:01:43.102 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
to help change that."
00:01:43.169 --> 00:01:44.370 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
By the time I started
00:01:44.437 --> 00:01:45.438 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
helping change it,
00:01:45.505 --> 00:01:46.506 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
this guy right here,
00:01:46.573 --> 00:01:48.308 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
Dr. Billy Wilson, somehow,
00:01:48.374 --> 00:01:49.542 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
not too long after
00:01:49.609 --> 00:01:52.111 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
all of that, you and I met.
00:01:52.178 --> 00:01:53.413 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
What was the name of
00:01:53.480 --> 00:01:54.547 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
the organization you were
00:01:54.614 --> 00:01:55.582 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
heading up that was
00:01:55.648 --> 00:01:56.683 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
impacting the country?
00:01:56.749 --> 00:01:57.784 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
BILLY: It was a group called
00:01:57.851 --> 00:01:58.918 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
Awakening America Alliance,
00:01:58.985 --> 00:01:59.986 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
when we really started
00:02:00.053 --> 00:02:01.054 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
connecting a lot, James.
00:02:01.120 --> 00:02:02.088 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
JAMES: And boy, that was
00:02:02.155 --> 00:02:03.156 align:start line:85% position:10% size:25%
beautiful.
00:02:03.223 --> 00:02:04.157 align:start line:85% position:10% size:33%
So we started
00:02:04.224 --> 00:02:05.225 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
working together.
00:02:05.291 --> 00:02:06.292 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
And then when I found
00:02:06.359 --> 00:02:07.393 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
that you were called to
00:02:07.460 --> 00:02:08.461 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
Oral Roberts University,
00:02:08.528 --> 00:02:09.529 align:start line:85% position:10% size:30%
I jumped in.
00:02:09.596 --> 00:02:10.630 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
I knew you needed money,
00:02:10.697 --> 00:02:11.998 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
and I didn't have any problem
00:02:12.065 --> 00:02:13.132 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
trying to work along with
00:02:13.199 --> 00:02:14.267 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
and encourage Hobby Lobby and
00:02:14.334 --> 00:02:15.902 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
David Green and his family,
00:02:15.969 --> 00:02:17.203 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
and they appreciated that.
00:02:17.270 --> 00:02:18.505 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
It was just amazing
00:02:18.571 --> 00:02:19.572 align:start line:85% position:10% size:30%
to watch it.
00:02:19.639 --> 00:02:21.574 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
What you and I have watched
00:02:21.641 --> 00:02:23.142 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
is God bring his family
00:02:23.209 --> 00:02:24.611 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
together in ways
00:02:24.677 --> 00:02:26.312 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
we never imagined.
00:02:26.379 --> 00:02:28.515 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
I'm praying God will use us
00:02:28.581 --> 00:02:29.616 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
as we talk about
00:02:29.682 --> 00:02:31.117 align:start line:85% position:10% size:38%
the Father Cry.
00:02:31.184 --> 00:02:32.785 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
I didn't know you had
00:02:32.852 --> 00:02:35.054 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
such a bad father situation
00:02:35.121 --> 00:02:36.422 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
and fatherless situation,
00:02:36.489 --> 00:02:38.057 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
so to speak, in your family,
00:02:38.124 --> 00:02:39.859 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
as I did my whole journey.
00:02:39.926 --> 00:02:41.361 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
But there is a tremendous
00:02:41.427 --> 00:02:42.862 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
father hole in this country.
00:02:42.929 --> 00:02:44.364 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
I don't know if there's
00:02:44.430 --> 00:02:45.431 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
a bigger problem
00:02:45.498 --> 00:02:46.966 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
in the country than fathers
00:02:47.033 --> 00:02:48.034 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
not being anything
00:02:48.101 --> 00:02:49.936 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
like the Father;
00:02:50.003 --> 00:02:51.337 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
not being the kind of fathers
00:02:51.404 --> 00:02:52.639 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
we desperately need.
00:02:52.705 --> 00:02:53.706 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
Would you agree with that?
00:02:53.773 --> 00:02:54.741 align:start line:63% position:10% size:53%
BILLY: I agree, yeah.
00:02:54.807 --> 00:02:56.442 align:start line:63% position:10% size:63%
I mean, even sociologists
00:02:56.509 --> 00:02:57.844 align:start line:63% position:10% size:58%
say that fatherlessness
00:02:57.911 --> 00:02:59.279 align:start line:63% position:10% size:65%
is one of the great issues
00:02:59.345 --> 00:03:00.280 align:start line:63% position:10% size:28%
of America.
00:03:00.346 --> 00:03:01.581 align:start line:63% position:10% size:65%
Maybe the number one issue
00:03:01.648 --> 00:03:02.849 align:start line:63% position:10% size:73%
in America is fatherlessness.
00:03:02.916 --> 00:03:04.217 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
JAMES: And I think it is.
00:03:04.284 --> 00:03:05.552 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
BILLY: And even in
00:03:05.618 --> 00:03:07.287 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
the church, James, you know,
00:03:07.353 --> 00:03:08.488 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
we need spiritual fathers
00:03:08.555 --> 00:03:09.489 align:start line:85% position:10% size:30%
and mothers.
00:03:09.556 --> 00:03:10.723 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
I think the lack of spiritual
00:03:10.790 --> 00:03:11.991 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
fathers in the church
00:03:12.058 --> 00:03:13.826 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
is also a critical issue
00:03:13.893 --> 00:03:15.061 align:start line:85% position:10% size:75%
that I talk about in the book.
00:03:15.128 --> 00:03:16.262 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
JAMES: No question.
00:03:16.329 --> 00:03:17.330 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
And you are so gifted.
00:03:17.397 --> 00:03:19.098 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
Betty, you've seen
00:03:19.165 --> 00:03:21.134 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
the journey with me.
00:03:21.200 --> 00:03:22.368 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
I've said that you did
00:03:22.435 --> 00:03:23.636 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
more to change my life than
00:03:23.703 --> 00:03:24.737 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
even any of the preachers
00:03:24.804 --> 00:03:25.805 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
or people I know;
00:03:25.872 --> 00:03:26.873 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
you're the greatest force
00:03:26.940 --> 00:03:27.974 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
of my life apart from
00:03:28.041 --> 00:03:29.075 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
the Holy Spirit.
00:03:29.142 --> 00:03:30.410 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
But the fatherlessness
00:03:30.476 --> 00:03:32.245 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
you've seen, well, you could
00:03:32.312 --> 00:03:33.680 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
agree, it's as serious
00:03:33.746 --> 00:03:34.681 align:start line:85% position:10% size:38%
as any problem.
00:03:34.747 --> 00:03:36.115 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
BETTY: It's so serious.
00:03:36.182 --> 00:03:37.550 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
And to me, the father is
00:03:37.617 --> 00:03:39.252 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
such a part of the foundation
00:03:39.319 --> 00:03:41.187 align:start line:85% position:10% size:35%
of the family,
00:03:41.254 --> 00:03:42.855 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
along with the mother.
00:03:42.922 --> 00:03:44.057 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
So many times they're not
00:03:44.123 --> 00:03:45.224 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
there in the home,
00:03:45.291 --> 00:03:46.960 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
and the mother has
00:03:47.026 --> 00:03:48.094 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
the responsibility of
00:03:48.161 --> 00:03:49.529 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
raising the family
00:03:49.596 --> 00:03:51.331 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
the best way she can.
00:03:51.397 --> 00:03:52.832 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
But, you know, you were
00:03:52.899 --> 00:03:54.067 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
talking earlier about
00:03:54.133 --> 00:03:55.702 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
the different denominations
00:03:55.768 --> 00:03:56.903 align:start line:85% position:10% size:25%
and stuff.
00:03:56.970 --> 00:03:57.971 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
And, you know, I was
00:03:58.037 --> 00:03:59.105 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
sitting here thinking,
00:03:59.172 --> 00:04:00.239 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
we're all God's children.
00:04:00.306 --> 00:04:01.574 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
We're all his family.
00:04:01.641 --> 00:04:03.710 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
We're the ones that put tags
00:04:03.776 --> 00:04:05.278 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
and names on people
00:04:05.345 --> 00:04:07.714 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
and causes the separation.
00:04:07.780 --> 00:04:09.082 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
But we should realize that.
00:04:09.148 --> 00:04:10.216 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
I think we've come
00:04:10.283 --> 00:04:11.284 align:start line:85% position:10% size:28%
a long way.
00:04:11.351 --> 00:04:12.352 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
BILLY: We've come
00:04:12.418 --> 00:04:13.486 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
a long way, Betty.
00:04:13.553 --> 00:04:14.887 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
Again, what the Holy Spirit's
00:04:14.954 --> 00:04:16.022 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
doing is bringing us,
00:04:16.089 --> 00:04:17.090 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
lifting us above
00:04:17.156 --> 00:04:18.224 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
our divisions into what
00:04:18.291 --> 00:04:19.359 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
I call "relational unity."
00:04:19.425 --> 00:04:20.760 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
Jesus' prayer to his Father
00:04:20.827 --> 00:04:22.028 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
was that they would be one,
00:04:22.095 --> 00:04:23.396 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
as he and the Father are one,
00:04:23.463 --> 00:04:25.298 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
which is relationship first,
00:04:25.365 --> 00:04:26.566 align:start line:85% position:10% size:38%
mission second,
00:04:26.633 --> 00:04:27.700 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
and then through the power
00:04:27.767 --> 00:04:28.968 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
of the Holy Spirit.
00:04:29.035 --> 00:04:30.503 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
But really, God's raising us
00:04:30.570 --> 00:04:32.472 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
to a relational connection.
00:04:32.538 --> 00:04:34.607 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
What happened to me, Betty,
00:04:34.674 --> 00:04:35.775 align:start line:85% position:10% size:38%
I was born into
00:04:35.842 --> 00:04:37.777 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
a preacher's home.
00:04:37.844 --> 00:04:39.345 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
At the age of five,
00:04:39.412 --> 00:04:40.647 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
my dad was a supervisor
00:04:40.713 --> 00:04:41.714 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
in the denomination
00:04:41.781 --> 00:04:42.849 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
he was serving in
00:04:42.915 --> 00:04:44.083 align:start line:85% position:10% size:75%
at that time in West Virginia.
00:04:44.150 --> 00:04:45.118 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
He walked in one day
00:04:45.184 --> 00:04:47.020 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
and told my mom goodbye.
00:04:47.086 --> 00:04:48.688 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
My mom and my two sisters
00:04:48.755 --> 00:04:50.023 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
had to move out of the state
00:04:50.089 --> 00:04:52.091 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
parsonage within two weeks.
00:04:52.158 --> 00:04:53.393 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
So we moved to Kentucky
00:04:53.459 --> 00:04:54.661 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
with my grandparents
00:04:54.727 --> 00:04:56.362 align:start line:63% position:10% size:43%
on my mom's side.
00:04:56.429 --> 00:04:57.697 align:start line:63% position:10% size:45%
For 15 years then,
00:04:57.764 --> 00:04:58.798 align:start line:63% position:10% size:55%
my parents were apart.
00:04:58.865 --> 00:04:59.866 align:start line:63% position:10% size:38%
They separated.
00:04:59.932 --> 00:05:00.933 align:start line:63% position:10% size:45%
They got divorced.
00:05:01.000 --> 00:05:02.001 align:start line:63% position:10% size:38%
Dad made a mess
00:05:02.068 --> 00:05:03.069 align:start line:63% position:10% size:35%
out of things,
00:05:03.136 --> 00:05:04.103 align:start line:63% position:10% size:63%
and mom backslid as well.
00:05:04.170 --> 00:05:06.205 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
They both got bitter, angry.
00:05:06.272 --> 00:05:07.674 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
I grew up with my dad
00:05:07.740 --> 00:05:09.409 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
being public enemy number one
00:05:09.475 --> 00:05:11.678 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
in my life in many ways.
00:05:11.744 --> 00:05:12.945 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
I had all the attributes
00:05:13.012 --> 00:05:14.313 align:start line:85% position:10% size:75%
as a young teenager of someone
00:05:14.380 --> 00:05:15.415 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
that doesn't have a father.
00:05:15.481 --> 00:05:16.516 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
I was looking for love;
00:05:16.582 --> 00:05:17.583 align:start line:85% position:10% size:33%
I was looking
00:05:17.650 --> 00:05:18.651 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
in the wrong places.
00:05:18.718 --> 00:05:19.786 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
I was a leader, but
00:05:19.852 --> 00:05:21.187 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
I led people in the wrong
00:05:21.254 --> 00:05:23.756 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
direction until I met Jesus.
00:05:23.823 --> 00:05:25.158 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
And then, God radically
00:05:25.224 --> 00:05:26.859 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
changed my life, and along
00:05:26.926 --> 00:05:28.161 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
the way began to radically
00:05:28.227 --> 00:05:30.163 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
change my dad's life again.
00:05:30.229 --> 00:05:31.497 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
He came back to the Lord.
00:05:31.564 --> 00:05:32.565 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
He actually got back
00:05:32.632 --> 00:05:33.866 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
into the ministry.
00:05:33.933 --> 00:05:35.134 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
God began to talk to me
00:05:35.201 --> 00:05:36.269 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
that if he could forgive me
00:05:36.335 --> 00:05:37.570 align:start line:85% position:10% size:28%
of my mess,
00:05:37.637 --> 00:05:38.805 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
couldn't I forgive my dad
00:05:38.871 --> 00:05:40.873 align:start line:85% position:10% size:30%
of his mess?
00:05:40.940 --> 00:05:42.041 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
And began to restore
00:05:42.108 --> 00:05:43.176 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
our relationship.
00:05:43.242 --> 00:05:44.410 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
Then miraculously,
00:05:44.477 --> 00:05:45.712 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
after 15 years apart,
00:05:45.778 --> 00:05:46.779 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
my mom got her heart
00:05:46.846 --> 00:05:48.781 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
right with God, got in a car
00:05:48.848 --> 00:05:50.583 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
in Kentucky, drove way down
00:05:50.650 --> 00:05:51.751 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
in Florida where my dad
00:05:51.818 --> 00:05:53.052 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
was trying to plant a church,
00:05:53.119 --> 00:05:54.153 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
knocked on the door of
00:05:54.220 --> 00:05:55.488 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
the trailer he was living in
00:05:55.555 --> 00:05:57.190 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
and said, "Alva, I need you
00:05:57.256 --> 00:05:58.624 align:start line:85% position:10% size:38%
to forgive me."
00:05:58.691 --> 00:05:59.692 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
He said, "No, I need you
00:05:59.759 --> 00:06:00.827 align:start line:85% position:10% size:38%
to forgive me."
00:06:00.893 --> 00:06:02.028 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
And two weeks later,
00:06:02.095 --> 00:06:03.196 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
they were married again
00:06:03.262 --> 00:06:04.897 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
after 15 years apart.
00:06:04.964 --> 00:06:06.199 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
And for the last 35 years
00:06:06.265 --> 00:06:07.700 align:start line:63% position:10% size:43%
of my dad's life,
00:06:07.767 --> 00:06:10.536 align:start line:63% position:10% size:73%
he was in full time ministry.
00:06:10.603 --> 00:06:11.938 align:start line:63% position:10% size:63%
The book is really about,
00:06:12.004 --> 00:06:13.306 align:start line:63% position:10% size:55%
James, what I found in
00:06:13.372 --> 00:06:16.209 align:start line:63% position:10% size:38%
my own heart of
00:06:16.275 --> 00:06:18.644 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
crying for a father
00:06:18.711 --> 00:06:21.147 align:start line:85% position:10% size:75%
longing to have a dad present.
00:06:21.214 --> 00:06:22.682 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
And then what I have heard
00:06:22.749 --> 00:06:24.150 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
in this generation
00:06:24.217 --> 00:06:26.419 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
of a cry for both physical,
00:06:26.486 --> 00:06:28.287 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
real fathers in the home,
00:06:28.354 --> 00:06:30.089 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
but also spiritual fathers.
00:06:30.156 --> 00:06:32.058 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
The cry of a generation
00:06:32.125 --> 00:06:33.359 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
for someone to be there
00:06:33.426 --> 00:06:35.294 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
for them, to mentor them,
00:06:35.361 --> 00:06:36.662 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
and to be someone
00:06:36.729 --> 00:06:38.431 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
they can depend on.
00:06:38.498 --> 00:06:39.632 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
So I sort of correlate
00:06:39.699 --> 00:06:41.100 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
my own journey and
00:06:41.167 --> 00:06:42.635 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
my cry out for my father,
00:06:42.702 --> 00:06:44.070 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
our restored relationship
00:06:44.137 --> 00:06:45.171 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
and how our relationship
00:06:45.238 --> 00:06:46.506 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
with our Heavenly Father
00:06:46.572 --> 00:06:47.974 align:start line:85% position:10% size:35%
gets restored.
00:06:48.040 --> 00:06:49.375 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
God, ultimately,
00:06:49.442 --> 00:06:51.444 align:start line:85% position:10% size:75%
brought my dad and I together.
00:06:51.511 --> 00:06:52.712 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
Just as he brought Mom
00:06:52.779 --> 00:06:53.813 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
and Dad together, He brought
00:06:53.880 --> 00:06:55.248 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
our family together.
00:06:55.314 --> 00:06:56.983 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
Healed my heart, which was
00:06:57.049 --> 00:06:58.785 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
a work of the Holy Spirit,
00:06:58.851 --> 00:06:59.952 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
and helped me realize
00:07:00.019 --> 00:07:01.120 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
along the way that God
00:07:01.187 --> 00:07:03.422 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
is my true heavenly Father
00:07:03.489 --> 00:07:04.590 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
and that God will not
00:07:04.657 --> 00:07:06.526 align:start line:85% position:10% size:28%
forsake us.
00:07:06.592 --> 00:07:08.327 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
I had a problem, and James,
00:07:08.394 --> 00:07:09.662 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
I know you probably had
00:07:09.729 --> 00:07:10.663 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
the same kind of problems
00:07:10.730 --> 00:07:11.998 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
without a father
00:07:12.064 --> 00:07:14.167 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
of trust issues, and also
00:07:14.233 --> 00:07:15.802 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
of being a good father
00:07:15.868 --> 00:07:17.270 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
myself, and understanding
00:07:17.336 --> 00:07:18.404 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
what it takes to do that.
00:07:18.471 --> 00:07:19.505 align:start line:63% position:10% size:60%
JAMES: Who do you admire
00:07:19.572 --> 00:07:20.673 align:start line:63% position:10% size:33%
close to you?
00:07:20.740 --> 00:07:22.742 align:start line:63% position:10% size:65%
Who do you seek to be like
00:07:22.809 --> 00:07:24.076 align:start line:63% position:10% size:70%
because you've been inspired
00:07:24.143 --> 00:07:25.611 align:start line:63% position:10% size:38%
by who they are
00:07:25.678 --> 00:07:26.712 align:start line:63% position:10% size:43%
and what they do?
00:07:26.779 --> 00:07:28.047 align:start line:63% position:10% size:60%
They just weren't there.
00:07:28.114 --> 00:07:29.315 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
And it was a big hole
00:07:29.382 --> 00:07:30.383 align:start line:85% position:10% size:28%
in my life.
00:07:30.449 --> 00:07:31.450 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
BILLY: I had a grandfather,
00:07:31.517 --> 00:07:32.552 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
and he was a provider, but
00:07:32.618 --> 00:07:33.786 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
it just wasn't the same
00:07:33.853 --> 00:07:34.854 align:start line:85% position:10% size:23%
as a dad.
00:07:34.921 --> 00:07:36.556 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
It's just not the same.
00:07:36.622 --> 00:07:38.090 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
And so, I had to find
00:07:38.157 --> 00:07:39.792 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
God as my Father,
00:07:39.859 --> 00:07:42.562 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
which was actually awesome.
00:07:42.628 --> 00:07:44.163 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
Then my trust issues,
00:07:44.230 --> 00:07:45.398 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
I had to realize that
00:07:45.464 --> 00:07:46.666 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
God is my Father
00:07:46.732 --> 00:07:47.867 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
would not be exactly like
00:07:47.934 --> 00:07:49.535 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
my earthly father.
00:07:49.602 --> 00:07:50.670 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
He wouldn't leave
00:07:50.736 --> 00:07:51.704 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
when it got tough.
00:07:51.771 --> 00:07:52.738 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
He wouldn't leave
00:07:52.805 --> 00:07:53.773 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
when it was difficult.
00:07:53.840 --> 00:07:55.107 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
He would stay with me.
00:07:55.174 --> 00:07:56.275 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
And when I was being blessed,
00:07:56.342 --> 00:07:57.276 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
he wouldn't pull the rug out
00:07:57.343 --> 00:07:58.377 align:start line:85% position:10% size:35%
from under me.
00:07:58.444 --> 00:07:59.445 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
He really loved me enough
00:07:59.512 --> 00:08:00.479 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
to keep blessing me, which
00:08:00.546 --> 00:08:01.614 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
has been an amazing discovery
00:08:01.681 --> 00:08:03.482 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
in my adult life.
00:08:03.549 --> 00:08:05.117 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
And God healed my heart,
00:08:05.184 --> 00:08:08.154 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
and he healed our family.
00:08:08.221 --> 00:08:09.522 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
By the time my dad passed
00:08:09.589 --> 00:08:10.890 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
away, he was my number one
00:08:10.957 --> 00:08:12.158 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
friend in the world
00:08:12.225 --> 00:08:13.693 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
and my best cheerleader.
00:08:13.759 --> 00:08:15.061 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
We were together in Jesus;
00:08:15.127 --> 00:08:16.128 align:start line:85% position:10% size:38%
it was amazing.
00:08:16.195 --> 00:08:17.797 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
JAMES: I never got to say
00:08:17.864 --> 00:08:19.198 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
that about my real father,
00:08:19.265 --> 00:08:20.566 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
who raped my mother and
00:08:20.633 --> 00:08:21.667 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
got her pregnant, and
00:08:21.734 --> 00:08:23.336 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
came back into our life later
00:08:23.402 --> 00:08:25.371 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
when I was a teenager.
00:08:25.438 --> 00:08:26.472 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
Somehow, my mother
00:08:26.539 --> 00:08:27.506 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
let him stay around.
00:08:27.573 --> 00:08:28.608 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
He turned our life
00:08:28.674 --> 00:08:30.243 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
into literal hell, and
00:08:30.309 --> 00:08:31.844 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
then tried to kill my mother.
00:08:31.911 --> 00:08:33.446 align:start line:85% position:10% size:75%
I was 14 years old, he told me
00:08:33.512 --> 00:08:34.981 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
he was going to kill me.
00:08:35.047 --> 00:08:36.015 align:start line:85% position:10% size:35%
He didn't know
00:08:36.082 --> 00:08:37.383 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
I had bought a rifle.
00:08:37.450 --> 00:08:38.451 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
I went and got it
00:08:38.517 --> 00:08:39.485 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
and pointed it at him.
00:08:39.552 --> 00:08:40.519 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
And if he had moved,
00:08:40.586 --> 00:08:41.554 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
I would have killed him.
00:08:41.621 --> 00:08:42.688 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
I told him that.
00:08:42.755 --> 00:08:43.689 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
I said, "If you move
00:08:43.756 --> 00:08:44.790 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
a finger, I'm going
00:08:44.857 --> 00:08:45.892 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
to blow a hole in you."
00:08:45.958 --> 00:08:47.093 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
Thank God he didn't.
00:08:47.159 --> 00:08:48.094 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
And I called an operator
00:08:48.160 --> 00:08:49.128 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
and told them to get
00:08:49.195 --> 00:08:50.129 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
the police here quick.
00:08:50.196 --> 00:08:51.230 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
They came, within ten minutes
00:08:51.297 --> 00:08:52.298 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
they had him arrested;
00:08:52.365 --> 00:08:53.366 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
prison seven years.
00:08:53.432 --> 00:08:54.433 align:start line:85% position:10% size:38%
Never knew him.
00:08:54.500 --> 00:08:55.501 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
I did witness to him.
00:08:55.568 --> 00:08:56.903 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
I did tell him I never knew,
00:08:56.969 --> 00:08:57.970 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
but I loved you.
00:08:58.037 --> 00:08:59.138 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
Betty and I, we couldn't let
00:08:59.205 --> 00:09:00.306 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
him come in our mobile home
00:09:00.373 --> 00:09:01.507 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
we were living in, a trailer
00:09:01.574 --> 00:09:03.142 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
50-foot-wide trailer.
00:09:03.209 --> 00:09:05.544 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
We put a chair outside
00:09:05.611 --> 00:09:07.079 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
and he slept in it.
00:09:07.146 --> 00:09:08.281 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
I couldn't trust him
00:09:08.347 --> 00:09:09.615 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
in my house with my wife
00:09:09.682 --> 00:09:11.317 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
and my daughter.
00:09:11.384 --> 00:09:12.385 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
But the point is that
00:09:12.451 --> 00:09:13.586 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
I said, I don't know you
00:09:13.653 --> 00:09:14.654 align:start line:85% position:10% size:38%
but I love you.
00:09:14.720 --> 00:09:16.055 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
I did my best to help him,
00:09:16.122 --> 00:09:17.256 align:start line:63% position:10% size:63%
but I never saw a change.
00:09:17.323 --> 00:09:18.324 align:start line:63% position:10% size:65%
But I'm telling you, those
00:09:18.391 --> 00:09:19.558 align:start line:63% position:10% size:68%
were big holes in my heart.
00:09:19.625 --> 00:09:21.427 align:start line:63% position:10% size:55%
I see the whole nation
00:09:21.494 --> 00:09:22.995 align:start line:63% position:10% size:55%
with that father hole.
00:09:23.062 --> 00:09:24.063 align:start line:63% position:10% size:63%
Here's what I want to say
00:09:24.130 --> 00:09:25.064 align:start line:63% position:10% size:35%
to all of you.
00:09:25.131 --> 00:09:26.132 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
Please hear this.
00:09:26.198 --> 00:09:27.733 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
I began to glimpse him
00:09:27.800 --> 00:09:29.568 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
in people, but I actually
00:09:29.635 --> 00:09:31.504 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
met him through Jesus,
00:09:31.570 --> 00:09:32.738 align:start line:85% position:10% size:75%
and really through the witness
00:09:32.805 --> 00:09:34.473 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
of just this woman
00:09:34.540 --> 00:09:36.575 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
that was my wife loving Jesus
00:09:36.642 --> 00:09:37.743 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
so much I could see
00:09:37.810 --> 00:09:39.245 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
the Father in her.
00:09:39.312 --> 00:09:40.413 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
And she didn't have
00:09:40.479 --> 00:09:41.580 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
a perfect father,
00:09:41.647 --> 00:09:43.015 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
but she knew that one.
00:09:43.082 --> 00:09:44.750 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
Anyway, we just began
00:09:44.817 --> 00:09:45.952 align:start line:85% position:10% size:20%
to grow.
00:09:46.018 --> 00:09:49.055 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
But boy, her influence on me,
00:09:49.121 --> 00:09:50.523 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
it's amazing how a woman
00:09:50.589 --> 00:09:52.091 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
can fill some of the holes
00:09:52.158 --> 00:09:53.559 align:start line:85% position:10% size:33%
where the man
00:09:53.626 --> 00:09:55.094 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
didn't fill them.
00:09:55.161 --> 00:09:56.495 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
But here's the thing.
00:09:56.562 --> 00:09:57.730 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
This Father cries the cry
00:09:57.797 --> 00:10:00.866 align:start line:85% position:10% size:35%
of the nation.
00:10:00.933 --> 00:10:02.101 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
Let me let me say to
00:10:02.168 --> 00:10:04.770 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
all you women, God bless you.
00:10:04.837 --> 00:10:06.472 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
Just pray that God will make
00:10:06.539 --> 00:10:07.740 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
the man that you love
00:10:07.807 --> 00:10:09.175 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
and perhaps married, God,
00:10:09.241 --> 00:10:11.110 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
I'm praying that right now,
00:10:11.177 --> 00:10:13.245 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
do something in his heart
00:10:13.312 --> 00:10:14.447 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
to make him want to love
00:10:14.513 --> 00:10:16.782 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
and lead the way you want us
00:10:16.849 --> 00:10:19.051 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
to love and lead,
00:10:19.118 --> 00:10:20.119 align:start line:85% position:10% size:38%
in Jesus' name.
00:10:20.186 --> 00:10:21.954 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
Look, ask the Father
00:10:22.021 --> 00:10:23.255 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
to become your father
00:10:23.322 --> 00:10:24.757 align:start line:85% position:10% size:35%
through Jesus.
00:10:24.824 --> 00:10:26.192 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
This Father can teach us
00:10:26.258 --> 00:10:28.828 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
how to be a father.
00:10:28.894 --> 00:10:30.396 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
I'm really seeking to spend
00:10:30.463 --> 00:10:31.764 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
the rest of my life,
00:10:31.831 --> 00:10:33.265 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
and I know you are,
00:10:33.332 --> 00:10:34.400 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
you're the president
00:10:34.467 --> 00:10:35.968 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
of Oral Roberts University.
00:10:36.035 --> 00:10:37.303 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
You're already impacting
00:10:37.370 --> 00:10:38.704 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
thousands of students.
00:10:38.771 --> 00:10:40.740 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
I really believe that you are
00:10:40.806 --> 00:10:42.842 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
sowing seeds there at
00:10:42.908 --> 00:10:44.510 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
Oral Roberts that Oral and
00:10:44.577 --> 00:10:46.512 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
I prayed before he left.
00:10:46.579 --> 00:10:47.813 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
He wanted that school
00:10:47.880 --> 00:10:48.848 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
to become greater than
00:10:48.914 --> 00:10:50.149 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
he ever imagined.
00:10:50.216 --> 00:10:51.650 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
He talked about how much
00:10:51.717 --> 00:10:53.019 align:start line:63% position:10% size:60%
he missed the fellowship
00:10:53.085 --> 00:10:54.286 align:start line:63% position:10% size:38%
with the family
00:10:54.353 --> 00:10:55.321 align:start line:63% position:10% size:45%
because of the way
00:10:55.388 --> 00:10:57.089 align:start line:63% position:10% size:58%
denominations separate.
00:10:57.156 --> 00:10:58.491 align:start line:63% position:10% size:68%
I wish we could learn this,
00:10:58.557 --> 00:10:59.725 align:start line:63% position:10% size:50%
and I'm going to try
00:10:59.792 --> 00:11:01.360 align:start line:63% position:10% size:70%
to help the church see this.
00:11:01.427 --> 00:11:02.728 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
We can have serious
00:11:02.795 --> 00:11:04.597 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
disagreements in life,
00:11:04.663 --> 00:11:05.765 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
serious disagreements
00:11:05.831 --> 00:11:06.866 align:start line:85% position:10% size:30%
in marriage,
00:11:06.932 --> 00:11:07.967 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
serious disagreements
00:11:08.034 --> 00:11:09.101 align:start line:85% position:10% size:33%
in our family
00:11:09.168 --> 00:11:10.236 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
and in the church,
00:11:10.302 --> 00:11:12.271 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
and not get a divorce,
00:11:12.338 --> 00:11:14.373 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
or not amputate,
00:11:14.440 --> 00:11:16.308 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
or hurt one another.
00:11:16.375 --> 00:11:18.110 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
We don't need to do that.
00:11:18.177 --> 00:11:20.780 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
I mean, we can be convinced
00:11:20.846 --> 00:11:23.149 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
we're right, they're wrong.
00:11:23.215 --> 00:11:25.284 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
But we're all wrong
00:11:25.351 --> 00:11:27.653 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
and he's always right,
00:11:27.720 --> 00:11:28.888 align:start line:85% position:10% size:38%
and he loves us
00:11:28.954 --> 00:11:30.089 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
with perfect love,
00:11:30.156 --> 00:11:31.891 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
even when we're wrong.
00:11:31.957 --> 00:11:33.025 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
We can learn to pour
00:11:33.092 --> 00:11:34.360 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
that love out on others,
00:11:34.427 --> 00:11:35.728 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
and I've learned to do it.
00:11:35.795 --> 00:11:38.097 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
Billy, I know you have.
00:11:38.164 --> 00:11:39.632 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
We, as fathers, should be
00:11:39.698 --> 00:11:42.234 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
leading the whole family
00:11:42.301 --> 00:11:43.536 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
the way the Father wants
00:11:43.602 --> 00:11:44.837 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
to lead his family.
00:11:44.904 --> 00:11:46.205 align:start line:63% position:10% size:68%
BILLY: I interviewed my mom
00:11:46.272 --> 00:11:47.473 align:start line:63% position:10% size:50%
and dad, years after
00:11:47.540 --> 00:11:49.008 align:start line:63% position:10% size:65%
they'd been back together.
00:11:49.075 --> 00:11:50.176 align:start line:63% position:10% size:63%
I have a television show,
00:11:50.242 --> 00:11:51.243 align:start line:63% position:10% size:40%
and so I decided
00:11:51.310 --> 00:11:52.878 align:start line:63% position:10% size:45%
to interview them.
00:11:52.945 --> 00:11:54.013 align:start line:63% position:10% size:60%
A bit selfish on my part
00:11:54.080 --> 00:11:55.481 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
because I got to ask them
00:11:55.548 --> 00:11:56.816 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
questions I'd never
00:11:56.882 --> 00:11:58.184 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
asked them before.
00:11:58.250 --> 00:11:59.985 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
So I asked Dad on TV,
00:12:00.052 --> 00:12:01.253 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
I mean we were taping.
00:12:01.320 --> 00:12:03.656 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
It was live to tape.
00:12:03.722 --> 00:12:06.058 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
I said, "Dad, what happened?
00:12:06.125 --> 00:12:08.561 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
Why did you leave?
00:12:08.627 --> 00:12:09.795 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
It caused so much pain,
00:12:09.862 --> 00:12:11.097 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
hurt so many people."
00:12:11.163 --> 00:12:13.065 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
He started crying on the set.
00:12:13.132 --> 00:12:14.300 align:start line:85% position:10% size:38%
He said, "Well,
00:12:14.366 --> 00:12:15.401 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
it's pretty simple, Billy."
00:12:15.468 --> 00:12:18.971 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
He said, "I got selfish."
00:12:19.038 --> 00:12:20.372 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
Divorce happens because
00:12:20.439 --> 00:12:22.575 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
people get selfish, James.
00:12:22.641 --> 00:12:25.111 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
Good fathers are not selfish.
00:12:25.177 --> 00:12:26.212 align:start line:85% position:10% size:38%
That's the key.
00:12:26.278 --> 00:12:27.313 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
Our Heavenly Father
00:12:27.379 --> 00:12:28.447 align:start line:85% position:10% size:38%
is not selfish.
00:12:28.514 --> 00:12:29.448 align:start line:85% position:10% size:33%
He's a father
00:12:29.515 --> 00:12:30.683 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
that always gives.
00:12:30.749 --> 00:12:31.851 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
And if we as fathers,
00:12:31.917 --> 00:12:33.018 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
earthly fathers, could learn
00:12:33.085 --> 00:12:34.887 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
to give, to love
00:12:34.954 --> 00:12:36.622 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
as our Heavenly Father,
00:12:36.689 --> 00:12:37.723 align:start line:85% position:10% size:33%
we would heal
00:12:37.790 --> 00:12:38.891 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
a whole generation.
00:12:38.958 --> 00:12:40.259 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
Because what's happened,
00:12:40.326 --> 00:12:41.594 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
because of the hurt family,
00:12:41.660 --> 00:12:43.429 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
because of bad fathering
00:12:43.496 --> 00:12:44.563 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
all over the world, even
00:12:44.630 --> 00:12:45.965 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
in families that are intact,
00:12:46.031 --> 00:12:47.466 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
fathers that are not giving,
00:12:47.533 --> 00:12:48.667 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
that are selfish,
00:12:48.734 --> 00:12:50.369 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
hurt their children.
00:12:50.436 --> 00:12:51.670 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
And so you've got people
00:12:51.737 --> 00:12:52.872 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
growing up with this
00:12:52.938 --> 00:12:53.973 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
father wound in their heart,
00:12:54.039 --> 00:12:55.241 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
and so their view of
00:12:55.307 --> 00:12:56.308 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
the Heavenly Father
00:12:56.375 --> 00:12:57.376 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
is distorted because
00:12:57.443 --> 00:12:58.511 align:start line:85% position:10% size:75%
their earthly father distorted
00:12:58.577 --> 00:12:59.612 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
their view of fatherhood.
00:12:59.678 --> 00:13:00.779 align:start line:85% position:10% size:38%
Now, God is not
00:13:00.846 --> 00:13:01.847 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
your earthly father.
00:13:01.914 --> 00:13:03.349 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
I want to say that
00:13:03.415 --> 00:13:04.817 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
to those that are watching.
00:13:04.884 --> 00:13:05.985 align:start line:85% position:10% size:38%
God is not like
00:13:06.051 --> 00:13:07.052 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
your earthly father.
00:13:07.119 --> 00:13:08.187 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
However good he is,
00:13:08.254 --> 00:13:09.255 align:start line:85% position:10% size:33%
God's better.
00:13:09.321 --> 00:13:10.322 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
God always loves.
00:13:10.389 --> 00:13:11.390 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
He's always there.
00:13:11.457 --> 00:13:12.458 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
He's always faithful.
00:13:12.525 --> 00:13:13.526 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
He always cares.
00:13:13.592 --> 00:13:14.994 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
His arms are always there.
00:13:15.060 --> 00:13:16.495 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
He will never leave you,
00:13:16.562 --> 00:13:17.563 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
never forsake you,
00:13:17.630 --> 00:13:19.031 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
and he wants an intimate
00:13:19.098 --> 00:13:20.099 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
relationship with you.
00:13:20.166 --> 00:13:21.367 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
Call ABBA, ABBA,
00:13:21.433 --> 00:13:22.835 align:start line:85% position:10% size:35%
daddy, father!
00:13:22.902 --> 00:13:24.136 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
You can be in his arms
00:13:24.203 --> 00:13:25.571 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
and he can be your daddy
00:13:25.638 --> 00:13:26.739 align:start line:85% position:10% size:28%
and father.
00:13:26.805 --> 00:13:27.873 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
But for those of us
00:13:27.940 --> 00:13:29.141 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
that are earthly fathers,
00:13:29.208 --> 00:13:30.309 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
and I want to talk
00:13:30.376 --> 00:13:31.343 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
to a few earthly fathers
00:13:31.410 --> 00:13:32.711 align:start line:85% position:10% size:25%
right now.
00:13:32.778 --> 00:13:33.879 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
If you're selfish,
00:13:33.946 --> 00:13:35.614 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
you're hurting your family.
00:13:35.681 --> 00:13:37.049 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
Get yourself to the cross
00:13:37.116 --> 00:13:40.686 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
of Jesus Christ and give up
00:13:40.753 --> 00:13:42.321 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
and surrender to him,
00:13:42.388 --> 00:13:43.389 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
and let the love of God
00:13:43.455 --> 00:13:44.490 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
fill your heart,
00:13:44.557 --> 00:13:45.658 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
even for your family
00:13:45.724 --> 00:13:47.126 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
and your children.
00:13:47.193 --> 00:13:48.460 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
Your words, your deeds,
00:13:48.527 --> 00:13:50.262 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
everything you do as a father
00:13:50.329 --> 00:13:52.364 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
is influencing your family
00:13:52.431 --> 00:13:53.999 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
and future generations.
00:13:54.066 --> 00:13:55.301 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
Your grandchildren
00:13:55.367 --> 00:13:56.468 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
and great grandchildren
00:13:56.535 --> 00:13:57.636 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
will be influenced
00:13:57.703 --> 00:13:59.104 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
by your response.
00:13:59.171 --> 00:14:02.107 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
Selfishness brings pain.
00:14:02.174 --> 00:14:03.342 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
Love brings healing.
00:14:03.409 --> 00:14:04.476 align:start line:63% position:10% size:63%
JAMES: I've been watching
00:14:04.543 --> 00:14:07.213 align:start line:63% position:10% size:55%
this man for 40 years,
00:14:07.279 --> 00:14:09.515 align:start line:63% position:10% size:53%
and I've watched God,
00:14:09.582 --> 00:14:10.816 align:start line:63% position:10% size:60%
literally, in many ways,
00:14:10.883 --> 00:14:11.917 align:start line:63% position:10% size:40%
not only use him
00:14:11.984 --> 00:14:12.918 align:start line:63% position:10% size:60%
to transform others, but
00:14:12.985 --> 00:14:15.020 align:start line:63% position:10% size:65%
God to transform his life,
00:14:15.087 --> 00:14:16.222 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
to change him to where
00:14:16.288 --> 00:14:17.489 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
he leads a truly
00:14:17.556 --> 00:14:18.924 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
great university.
00:14:18.991 --> 00:14:20.759 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
He's gifted to write.
00:14:20.826 --> 00:14:21.927 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
This Father Cry, listen
00:14:21.994 --> 00:14:24.763 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
to this: "Healing your heart
00:14:24.830 --> 00:14:26.098 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
and the hearts of
00:14:26.165 --> 00:14:27.800 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
those you love."
00:14:27.866 --> 00:14:29.368 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
Billy, I believe the way
00:14:29.435 --> 00:14:31.870 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
you write, what you wrote,
00:14:31.937 --> 00:14:33.005 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
the truthfulness of your
00:14:33.072 --> 00:14:35.140 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
own journey, what you saw
00:14:35.207 --> 00:14:36.976 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
even in preacher Daddy
00:14:37.042 --> 00:14:38.477 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
and the failures,
00:14:38.544 --> 00:14:39.712 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
what you have seen in people
00:14:39.778 --> 00:14:40.946 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
you've ministered to now
00:14:41.013 --> 00:14:42.982 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
for many years, I believe
00:14:43.048 --> 00:14:44.216 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
what he has written here
00:14:44.283 --> 00:14:45.884 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
about the Father Cry
00:14:45.951 --> 00:14:48.153 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
could heal, literally,
00:14:48.220 --> 00:14:49.421 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
the fathers in this nation
00:14:49.488 --> 00:14:51.390 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
if you would take this truth.
00:14:51.457 --> 00:14:52.591 align:start line:63% position:10% size:60%
I want to ask all of you
00:14:52.658 --> 00:14:53.726 align:start line:63% position:10% size:25%
to get it.
00:14:53.792 --> 00:14:54.960 align:start line:63% position:10% size:73%
You can go online and buy it.
00:14:55.027 --> 00:14:56.528 align:start line:63% position:10% size:53%
You can go to Amazon;
00:14:56.595 --> 00:14:58.397 align:start line:63% position:10% size:73%
you can go to the bookstores.
00:14:58.464 --> 00:15:00.299 align:start line:63% position:10% size:48%
I'll tell you what,
00:15:00.366 --> 00:15:02.701 align:start line:63% position:10% size:60%
if you will help us feed
00:15:02.768 --> 00:15:03.869 align:start line:63% position:10% size:45%
and save the lives
00:15:03.936 --> 00:15:05.037 align:start line:63% position:10% size:63%
of some children that are
00:15:05.104 --> 00:15:06.772 align:start line:63% position:10% size:48%
literally starving,
00:15:06.839 --> 00:15:08.941 align:start line:63% position:10% size:65%
and in Africa now, because
00:15:09.008 --> 00:15:10.609 align:start line:63% position:10% size:63%
all the feeding basically
00:15:10.676 --> 00:15:12.645 align:start line:63% position:10% size:65%
has pulled out, we are one
00:15:12.711 --> 00:15:14.013 align:start line:63% position:10% size:53%
of the immovable ones
00:15:14.079 --> 00:15:16.115 align:start line:63% position:10% size:48%
that will not move.
00:15:16.181 --> 00:15:18.217 align:start line:63% position:10% size:63%
We together, if you would
00:15:18.284 --> 00:15:19.518 align:start line:63% position:10% size:43%
help us reach out
00:15:19.585 --> 00:15:20.719 align:start line:63% position:10% size:48%
and put God's arms,
00:15:20.786 --> 00:15:21.920 align:start line:63% position:10% size:60%
the Father's arms around
00:15:21.987 --> 00:15:23.656 align:start line:63% position:10% size:48%
these children that
00:15:23.722 --> 00:15:24.823 align:start line:63% position:10% size:53%
are starving to death
00:15:24.890 --> 00:15:26.191 align:start line:63% position:10% size:48%
and their families,
00:15:26.258 --> 00:15:27.693 align:start line:63% position:10% size:38%
we can do that.
00:15:27.760 --> 00:15:29.795 align:start line:63% position:10% size:70%
So if you would just help us
00:15:29.862 --> 00:15:32.564 align:start line:63% position:10% size:73%
right now, feed more children
00:15:32.631 --> 00:15:34.066 align:start line:63% position:10% size:70%
than ever, knowing even more
00:15:34.133 --> 00:15:36.368 align:start line:63% position:10% size:55%
will come, please God,
00:15:36.435 --> 00:15:38.537 align:start line:63% position:10% size:58%
raise up people to say,
00:15:38.604 --> 00:15:41.206 align:start line:63% position:10% size:68%
I'll help one, three, five,
00:15:41.273 --> 00:15:44.810 align:start line:63% position:10% size:60%
ten, 100, 1000 -- I can!
00:15:44.877 --> 00:15:47.780 align:start line:63% position:10% size:68%
God please, I ask him touch
00:15:47.846 --> 00:15:49.848 align:start line:63% position:10% size:75%
the hearts of those listening.
00:15:49.915 --> 00:15:51.717 align:start line:63% position:10% size:65%
You help us get God's arms
00:15:51.784 --> 00:15:53.752 align:start line:63% position:10% size:50%
around the starving.
00:15:53.819 --> 00:15:56.522 align:start line:63% position:10% size:70%
Billy, I want to see America
00:15:56.588 --> 00:15:58.490 align:start line:85% position:10% size:38%
read this book.
00:15:58.557 --> 00:15:59.858 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
I believe God brought us
00:15:59.925 --> 00:16:01.727 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
together to help bring
00:16:01.794 --> 00:16:03.262 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
his family together.
00:16:03.329 --> 00:16:05.097 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
And the best way to do that
00:16:05.164 --> 00:16:06.532 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
is help everybody know
00:16:06.598 --> 00:16:08.167 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
that Father and become
00:16:08.233 --> 00:16:11.303 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
the family He desires.
00:16:11.370 --> 00:16:12.971 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
We can inspire that.
00:16:13.038 --> 00:16:14.239 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
That's what I think
00:16:14.306 --> 00:16:15.374 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
we do as ministers.
00:16:15.441 --> 00:16:16.742 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
That's what we do as fathers
00:16:16.809 --> 00:16:18.110 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
in our own homes.
00:16:18.177 --> 00:16:19.445 align:start line:85% position:10% size:25%
So please,
00:16:19.511 --> 00:16:21.814 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
please give it a shot.
00:16:21.880 --> 00:16:22.981 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
Billy, I really do love you
00:16:23.048 --> 00:16:24.049 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
and appreciate you.
00:16:24.116 --> 00:16:25.117 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
BILLY: Love you, James.
00:16:25.184 --> 00:16:26.251 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
JAMES: Don't you believe
00:16:26.318 --> 00:16:27.586 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
this Father Cry is going
00:16:27.653 --> 00:16:29.655 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
to experience a move of God?
00:16:29.722 --> 00:16:30.756 align:start line:63% position:10% size:48%
BILLY: Yeah, we are
00:16:30.823 --> 00:16:31.924 align:start line:63% position:10% size:60%
in a move of God, James.
00:16:31.990 --> 00:16:34.760 align:start line:63% position:10% size:68%
Generation Z is in revival.
00:16:34.827 --> 00:16:36.495 align:start line:63% position:10% size:73%
God is moving in young people
00:16:36.562 --> 00:16:38.664 align:start line:63% position:10% size:60%
today like never before.
00:16:38.731 --> 00:16:39.898 align:start line:63% position:10% size:43%
They are blessed,
00:16:39.965 --> 00:16:41.834 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
but they're also broken.
00:16:41.900 --> 00:16:43.102 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
They're on fire, but
00:16:43.168 --> 00:16:44.503 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
they're also frail,
00:16:44.570 --> 00:16:45.938 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
and they need men and women
00:16:46.004 --> 00:16:47.539 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
of God to be their spiritual
00:16:47.606 --> 00:16:49.808 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
moms and dads and put
00:16:49.875 --> 00:16:51.677 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
their arms, or for us
00:16:51.744 --> 00:16:53.078 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
to put our arms around them
00:16:53.145 --> 00:16:54.179 align:start line:85% position:10% size:33%
and love them
00:16:54.246 --> 00:16:55.280 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
through this journey.
00:16:55.347 --> 00:16:56.382 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
Lisa and I see ourselves
00:16:56.448 --> 00:16:58.050 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
as spiritual parents at ORU,
00:16:58.117 --> 00:16:59.218 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
and it's the honor
00:16:59.284 --> 00:17:00.586 align:start line:85% position:10% size:35%
of a lifetime.
00:17:00.652 --> 00:17:01.787 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
JAMES: Well, it is.
00:17:01.854 --> 00:17:02.888 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
Betty and I see ourselves
00:17:02.955 --> 00:17:05.023 align:start line:85% position:10% size:23%
as just –
00:17:05.090 --> 00:17:06.191 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
BILLY: Well, you're spiritual
00:17:06.258 --> 00:17:07.192 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
parents to hundreds
00:17:07.259 --> 00:17:08.293 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
of thousands of people!
00:17:08.360 --> 00:17:09.395 align:start line:85% position:10% size:30%
JAMES: We're
00:17:09.461 --> 00:17:10.529 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
great-grandparents
00:17:10.596 --> 00:17:11.597 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
and grandparents to a lot
00:17:11.663 --> 00:17:13.399 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
of people, and millions
00:17:13.465 --> 00:17:15.467 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
of people all over the world.
00:17:15.534 --> 00:17:17.035 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
What we say to those of you
00:17:17.102 --> 00:17:18.537 align:start line:85% position:10% size:33%
who watch us,
00:17:18.604 --> 00:17:20.472 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
and we go and show you
00:17:20.539 --> 00:17:22.474 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
the legitimate needs that
00:17:22.541 --> 00:17:24.276 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
can be effectively met
00:17:24.343 --> 00:17:25.511 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
by the love of God.
00:17:25.577 --> 00:17:26.612 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
The only way you get
00:17:26.678 --> 00:17:27.713 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
the Father's arms,
00:17:27.780 --> 00:17:29.214 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
God's arms around people
00:17:29.281 --> 00:17:31.316 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
is for his family to do it.
00:17:31.383 --> 00:17:33.152 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
The family is his body;
00:17:33.218 --> 00:17:34.620 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
it's his church.
00:17:34.686 --> 00:17:35.654 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
I want you to look in.
00:17:35.721 --> 00:17:36.722 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
I want you to look in
00:17:36.789 --> 00:17:37.923 align:start line:85% position:10% size:33%
real careful.
00:17:37.990 --> 00:17:38.957 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
I want you to listen to
00:17:39.024 --> 00:17:40.592 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
a young girl with what
00:17:40.659 --> 00:17:42.661 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
she sees looking at
00:17:42.728 --> 00:17:44.797 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
some little children.
00:17:44.863 --> 00:17:46.298 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
But I want you to see
00:17:46.365 --> 00:17:47.800 align:start line:85% position:10% size:35%
what she sees,
00:17:47.866 --> 00:17:49.701 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
the way she sees it.
00:17:49.768 --> 00:17:53.906 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
And you are the answer.
00:17:53.972 --> 00:17:55.707 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
Watch this prayerfully.
00:17:57.843 --> 00:18:00.579 align:start line:58% position:15% size:70%
This is a clinic for mothers
whose children are suffering
00:18:00.646 --> 00:18:02.748 align:center line:58% position:50% size:40%
from the effects
of malnutrition.
00:18:02.815 --> 00:18:06.018 align:start line:79% position:15% size:68%
Kiera Pretorius,
daughter of Isak Pretorius,
00:18:06.084 --> 00:18:09.054 align:center line:79% position:50% size:70%
is seeing for the first time
Angolan children
00:18:09.121 --> 00:18:11.123 align:center line:79% position:50% size:53%
struggling to survive
the consequences
00:18:11.190 --> 00:18:14.560 align:center line:79% position:50% size:63%
of not having enough food
to keep them alive.
00:18:14.626 --> 00:18:16.628 align:start line:47% position:25% size:50%
ISAK: So you can see
the other signs;
00:18:16.695 --> 00:18:18.897 align:center line:47% position:50% size:68%
you can see how his ribs
are just sticking out here.
00:18:18.964 --> 00:18:21.567 align:start line:47% position:28% size:45%
Look at how little
his arms are.
00:18:21.633 --> 00:18:24.269 align:center line:79% position:50% size:53%
His arms are like
the size of my thumb.
00:18:24.336 --> 00:18:27.172 align:start line:79% position:23% size:53%
KIERA: And just skin.
Like, no muscle.
00:18:27.239 --> 00:18:29.241 align:start line:79% position:20% size:60%
ISAK: No, it's just skin
and bone, really.
00:18:29.308 --> 00:18:32.444 align:center line:79% position:50% size:73%
Because that's the state
at which its nutrition is at.
00:18:32.511 --> 00:18:35.214 align:center line:79% position:50% size:48%
It's so weak
and so malnourished
00:18:35.280 --> 00:18:38.917 align:center line:79% position:50% size:58%
that literally the body
starts to shut down.
00:18:38.984 --> 00:18:41.220 align:start line:79% position:25% size:48%
KIERA: Do you think
you'll recover?
00:18:41.286 --> 00:18:43.622 align:start line:79% position:23% size:55%
ISAK: Chances are that
he will survive,
00:18:43.689 --> 00:18:46.191 align:center line:79% position:50% size:50%
that we will be able
to save his life.
00:18:46.258 --> 00:18:49.261 align:center line:79% position:50% size:55%
But there are so many
children in this state
00:18:49.328 --> 00:18:53.966 align:center line:79% position:50% size:60%
that don't leave clinics
like this.
00:18:54.032 --> 00:18:58.070 align:center line:79% position:50% size:43%
It's good to cry.
It's okay.
00:19:02.407 --> 00:19:04.910 align:start line:79% position:13% size:73%
KIERA: I've grown up
knowing many of these stories
00:19:04.977 --> 00:19:08.380 align:center line:79% position:50% size:53%
and seeing the photos
and hearing all
00:19:08.447 --> 00:19:12.518 align:center line:79% position:50% size:68%
the heart-wrenching stories
of young mothers
00:19:12.584 --> 00:19:16.221 align:center line:79% position:50% size:75%
with their young children that
want to do the best for them,
00:19:16.288 --> 00:19:19.525 align:center line:79% position:50% size:60%
but genuinely just don't
have the resources.
00:19:19.591 --> 00:19:21.927 align:start line:79% position:23% size:53%
Every time I see
or hear these stories
00:19:21.994 --> 00:19:26.498 align:center line:79% position:50% size:53%
and being here today,
it affects me deeply.
00:19:26.565 --> 00:19:28.600 align:center line:79% position:50% size:23%
It hurts
my heart.
00:19:28.667 --> 00:19:31.336 align:center line:79% position:50% size:70%
So I'm asking you to not
let it become normal to you.
00:19:31.403 --> 00:19:34.039 align:start line:79% position:15% size:70%
Don't let it -- don't let it
become something
00:19:34.106 --> 00:19:36.808 align:center line:79% position:50% size:25%
you become
immune to.
00:19:36.875 --> 00:19:38.877 align:start line:79% position:25% size:48%
ISAK: I ask you
to hear that appeal
00:19:38.944 --> 00:19:44.683 align:center line:79% position:50% size:58%
from a 19-year-old girl
who knows what happens
00:19:44.750 --> 00:19:48.020 align:center line:79% position:50% size:25%
if you
look away.
00:19:48.086 --> 00:19:55.260 align:center line:79% position:50% size:73%
Who knows what happens when
this starts to become normal.
00:19:55.327 --> 00:19:57.963 align:center line:79% position:50% size:40%
When we shut
our hearts down,
00:19:58.030 --> 00:20:00.899 align:center line:79% position:50% size:70%
when we try to think
through this with our heads,
00:20:00.966 --> 00:20:03.702 align:center line:79% position:50% size:63%
instead of just listening
to our hearts.
00:20:03.769 --> 00:20:06.905 align:center line:79% position:50% size:68%
And so I'm asking you today
to listen to your heart.
00:20:06.972 --> 00:20:09.675 align:center line:79% position:50% size:73%
Listen to the heart of Kiera.
Listen to my heart.
00:20:09.741 --> 00:20:12.811 align:center line:85% position:50% size:53%
Listen to your heart.
00:20:12.878 --> 00:20:15.847 align:start line:79% position:18% size:65%
Because our heart cry is
the same as this mother's,
00:20:15.914 --> 00:20:19.585 align:center line:79% position:50% size:70%
and I believe yours is, too,
and that is to do everything
00:20:19.651 --> 00:20:23.522 align:center line:79% position:50% size:60%
that we can do
to save this little boy.
00:20:23.589 --> 00:20:27.759 align:start line:79% position:18% size:63%
Everything that we can do
to give this mother
00:20:27.826 --> 00:20:30.228 align:center line:79% position:50% size:35%
what she needs
for her child.
00:20:32.998 --> 00:20:34.099 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
JAMES: Peter Pretorius
00:20:34.166 --> 00:20:38.203 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
and I started more than
00:20:38.270 --> 00:20:41.273 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
40 years ago together.
00:20:41.340 --> 00:20:43.408 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
Peter and I stood real close
00:20:43.475 --> 00:20:46.044 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
to each other for 35 years,
00:20:46.111 --> 00:20:48.347 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
I guess, when he left us.
00:20:48.413 --> 00:20:50.082 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
I'm so glad that Isak has
00:20:50.148 --> 00:20:51.416 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
picked it up, and now that
00:20:51.483 --> 00:20:54.353 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
beautiful little 19-year-old,
00:20:54.419 --> 00:20:55.487 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
looking at those
00:20:55.554 --> 00:20:56.722 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
little children.
00:20:56.788 --> 00:20:58.190 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
Please listen to me.
00:20:58.256 --> 00:21:00.592 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
I want you to look at them
00:21:00.659 --> 00:21:01.727 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
and look what it did
00:21:01.793 --> 00:21:03.195 align:start line:85% position:10% size:33%
to her heart.
00:21:03.261 --> 00:21:04.396 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
But you see, that's what
00:21:04.463 --> 00:21:05.530 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
it did to my heart
00:21:05.597 --> 00:21:06.999 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
the first time I saw them.
00:21:07.065 --> 00:21:08.367 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
Betty, when I saw the graves
00:21:08.433 --> 00:21:10.068 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
of 10,000 of them,
00:21:10.135 --> 00:21:11.436 align:start line:85% position:10% size:30%
most of them
00:21:11.503 --> 00:21:12.871 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
less than four years old,
00:21:12.938 --> 00:21:14.106 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
they were two and three
00:21:14.172 --> 00:21:15.540 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
in just little graves,
00:21:15.607 --> 00:21:17.576 align:start line:85% position:10% size:38%
and no markers.
00:21:17.643 --> 00:21:18.844 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
Maybe a little picture of
00:21:18.910 --> 00:21:21.146 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
a child or a little toy.
00:21:21.213 --> 00:21:24.282 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
I just said, God, please!
00:21:24.349 --> 00:21:26.151 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
We sold a bunch of stuff
00:21:26.218 --> 00:21:27.786 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
the ministry owned because
00:21:27.853 --> 00:21:28.954 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
we didn't know if our viewers
00:21:29.021 --> 00:21:30.088 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
or we didn't know if people
00:21:30.155 --> 00:21:32.224 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
would help missions.
00:21:32.290 --> 00:21:34.259 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
Oh boy, but you did when
00:21:34.326 --> 00:21:35.894 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
we showed you the reality
00:21:35.961 --> 00:21:37.663 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
of what they face.
00:21:37.729 --> 00:21:39.031 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
We showed you the love
00:21:39.097 --> 00:21:40.332 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
of those missionaries that
00:21:40.399 --> 00:21:41.533 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
moved their families across
00:21:41.600 --> 00:21:43.135 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
the ocean and planted their
00:21:43.201 --> 00:21:45.437 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
lives in the midst of death.
00:21:45.504 --> 00:21:47.673 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
They said to me and to Betty,
00:21:47.739 --> 00:21:49.574 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
"Please go home.
00:21:49.641 --> 00:21:50.809 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
See if you can get us
00:21:50.876 --> 00:21:52.577 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
some help so we can stay here
00:21:52.644 --> 00:21:54.312 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
and not be empty-handed.
00:21:54.379 --> 00:21:55.447 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
So we can stay here with
00:21:55.514 --> 00:21:57.182 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
more than a broken heart."
00:21:57.249 --> 00:21:58.350 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
Betty, we came back and
00:21:58.417 --> 00:22:00.218 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
did our viewers help?
00:22:00.285 --> 00:22:01.319 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
BETTY: Oh, they absolutely
00:22:01.386 --> 00:22:02.487 align:start line:85% position:10% size:30%
have, James.
00:22:02.554 --> 00:22:03.588 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
One thing really struck me
00:22:03.655 --> 00:22:04.790 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
that Kiera said.
00:22:04.856 --> 00:22:06.625 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
She said, Don't become immune
00:22:06.692 --> 00:22:07.993 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
because you've seen scenes
00:22:08.060 --> 00:22:10.028 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
similar to this before.
00:22:10.095 --> 00:22:11.296 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
They're still there.
00:22:11.363 --> 00:22:12.497 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
They're still needy,
00:22:12.564 --> 00:22:13.532 align:start line:85% position:10% size:38%
different ones,
00:22:13.598 --> 00:22:14.566 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
but they're needy.
00:22:14.633 --> 00:22:16.134 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
So I want you to know that
00:22:16.201 --> 00:22:17.235 align:start line:85% position:10% size:30%
my heart was
00:22:17.302 --> 00:22:18.537 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
so deeply touched.
00:22:18.603 --> 00:22:20.105 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
I thought, God, don't let me
00:22:20.172 --> 00:22:21.473 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
ever become immune
00:22:21.540 --> 00:22:22.774 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
to a need like that.
00:22:22.841 --> 00:22:24.076 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
We've been over there
00:22:24.142 --> 00:22:25.377 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
many, many times
00:22:25.444 --> 00:22:26.611 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
through many, many years.
00:22:26.678 --> 00:22:27.846 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
I've never felt on any of
00:22:27.913 --> 00:22:29.214 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
the trips that oh,
00:22:29.281 --> 00:22:30.982 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
I've seen this before.
00:22:31.049 --> 00:22:32.951 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
No, it was always fresh
00:22:33.018 --> 00:22:34.519 align:start line:85% position:10% size:30%
on my heart.
00:22:34.853 --> 00:22:36.121 align:start line:10% position:10% size:55%
I pray that it'll stay
00:22:36.188 --> 00:22:37.489 align:start line:10% position:10% size:68%
that way for you as you let
00:22:37.556 --> 00:22:39.524 align:start line:10% position:10% size:60%
God speak to your heart.
00:22:39.591 --> 00:22:40.726 align:start line:10% position:10% size:60%
JAMES: Well, I pray that
00:22:40.792 --> 00:22:41.927 align:start line:10% position:10% size:55%
Betty and I believe --
00:22:41.993 --> 00:22:42.994 align:start line:10% position:10% size:60%
I know for a fact, we're
00:22:43.061 --> 00:22:44.129 align:start line:10% position:10% size:63%
as faithful of supporters
00:22:44.196 --> 00:22:45.630 align:start line:10% position:10% size:63%
of the mission outreaches
00:22:45.697 --> 00:22:46.798 align:start line:10% position:10% size:68%
as any of all the thousands
00:22:46.865 --> 00:22:48.667 align:start line:10% position:10% size:65%
of people that do help us.
00:22:48.734 --> 00:22:49.935 align:start line:10% position:10% size:68%
I just pray, God, everybody
00:22:50.001 --> 00:22:51.069 align:start line:10% position:10% size:55%
would be that faithful
00:22:51.136 --> 00:22:53.038 align:start line:10% position:10% size:58%
and even more faithful.
00:22:53.105 --> 00:22:55.140 align:start line:10% position:10% size:58%
Please! Did you realize
00:22:55.207 --> 00:22:58.110 align:start line:10% position:10% size:63%
that for $30 you can feed
00:22:58.176 --> 00:22:59.411 align:start line:10% position:10% size:38%
three children,
00:22:59.478 --> 00:23:00.812 align:start line:10% position:10% size:50%
for $50, 5 children,
00:23:00.879 --> 00:23:02.347 align:start line:10% position:10% size:33%
for $100, 10,
00:23:02.414 --> 00:23:04.149 align:start line:10% position:10% size:40%
and $1,000, 100.
00:23:04.216 --> 00:23:05.283 align:start line:10% position:10% size:65%
But did you know there are
00:23:05.350 --> 00:23:06.318 align:start line:10% position:10% size:53%
many of you who could
00:23:06.384 --> 00:23:07.953 align:start line:10% position:10% size:63%
give part of your estate.
00:23:08.019 --> 00:23:09.654 align:start line:10% position:10% size:53%
You give large gifts.
00:23:09.721 --> 00:23:10.956 align:start line:10% position:10% size:63%
And right now we're being
00:23:11.022 --> 00:23:12.324 align:start line:10% position:10% size:63%
told as people are moving
00:23:12.390 --> 00:23:14.526 align:start line:10% position:10% size:55%
out of Africa to feed,
00:23:14.593 --> 00:23:15.594 align:start line:10% position:10% size:60%
that there's going to be
00:23:15.660 --> 00:23:17.028 align:start line:10% position:10% size:68%
the highest starvation rate
00:23:17.095 --> 00:23:18.997 align:start line:10% position:10% size:68%
in history on that greatest
00:23:19.064 --> 00:23:20.432 align:start line:10% position:10% size:45%
continent that has
00:23:20.499 --> 00:23:22.400 align:start line:10% position:10% size:43%
so much to offer.
00:23:22.467 --> 00:23:24.436 align:start line:10% position:10% size:60%
And if only God's people
00:23:24.503 --> 00:23:26.171 align:start line:10% position:10% size:45%
would put his arms
00:23:26.238 --> 00:23:27.873 align:start line:10% position:10% size:58%
around those desperate,
00:23:27.939 --> 00:23:29.508 align:start line:10% position:10% size:43%
suffering people.
00:23:29.574 --> 00:23:31.243 align:start line:10% position:10% size:58%
We have beautiful gifts
00:23:31.309 --> 00:23:32.944 align:start line:10% position:10% size:38%
to send to you.
00:23:33.011 --> 00:23:34.613 align:start line:10% position:10% size:50%
And one thank you is
00:23:34.679 --> 00:23:36.581 align:start line:10% position:10% size:48%
the Father Cry book
00:23:36.648 --> 00:23:38.083 align:start line:10% position:10% size:43%
that Billy wrote.
00:23:38.150 --> 00:23:39.151 align:start line:10% position:10% size:53%
We would love for you
00:23:39.217 --> 00:23:40.352 align:start line:10% position:10% size:33%
to have that.
00:23:40.418 --> 00:23:41.953 align:start line:10% position:10% size:55%
But please, right now,
00:23:42.020 --> 00:23:43.288 align:start line:10% position:10% size:40%
would you go get
00:23:43.355 --> 00:23:44.422 align:start line:10% position:10% size:35%
your bank card
00:23:44.489 --> 00:23:45.624 align:start line:10% position:10% size:60%
and use it like a check?
00:23:45.690 --> 00:23:46.691 align:start line:10% position:10% size:53%
If you write a check,
00:23:46.758 --> 00:23:47.759 align:start line:10% position:10% size:68%
make it to LIFE but call us
00:23:47.826 --> 00:23:48.960 align:start line:10% position:10% size:40%
and tell us what
00:23:49.027 --> 00:23:50.428 align:start line:10% position:10% size:68%
you're putting in the mail.
00:23:50.495 --> 00:23:51.997 align:start line:10% position:10% size:68%
We need a miracle response.
00:23:52.063 --> 00:23:54.533 align:start line:10% position:10% size:68%
Please, don't put this off.
00:23:54.599 --> 00:23:57.702 align:start line:10% position:10% size:63%
Go online with that card.
00:23:57.769 --> 00:23:59.070 align:start line:10% position:10% size:40%
Call the number,
00:23:59.137 --> 00:24:00.172 align:start line:10% position:10% size:35%
make the gift.
00:24:00.238 --> 00:24:01.873 align:start line:10% position:10% size:45%
If you get a busy,
00:24:01.940 --> 00:24:03.809 align:start line:10% position:10% size:73%
be determined to get through,
00:24:03.875 --> 00:24:05.143 align:start line:10% position:10% size:65%
and let's put God's loving
00:24:05.210 --> 00:24:06.945 align:start line:10% position:10% size:43%
arms around these
00:24:07.012 --> 00:24:08.713 align:start line:10% position:10% size:48%
