CBN’s Orphan’s Promise
Partners Bring Love and Hope to Orphans Around the World
PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE
How Jesus
Loves Them
by Michael Little
Whenever I visit an
orphanage supported
through the compassion
of CBN partners, I see
firsthand how you are
transforming young lives.
In Ukraine, I met
with students in the new
computer classroom you
built to equip orphans
with a good education.
In Thailand, I saw boys
and girls happily climb
aboard a bus you helped
provide so they could
attend a school miles away
from their orphanage.
And in Cambodia, I
saw widows weaving on
large looms you supplied
so they can support their
fatherless children.
Jesus affirmed the
significance of ministering
to children by saying,
Whoever welcomes a little
child like this in My name
welcomes Me (Matt. 18:5, niv).
Thanks for welcoming
these orphans into your
heart by sharing God’s
love with them.
Michael holds a Cambodian
orphan whose life you changed.

700 Club Interactive
CBN to launch new show on May 25th!
H
osted by CBN’s Chief Executive
Officer Gordon Robertson
and 700 Club Co-host Terry
Meeuwsen, 700 Club Interactive
is CBN’s newest show. It will begin
airing on May 25th on the ABC Family
Channel at 9:30 a.m. est.
The heart of the new 700 Club
Interactive show is to let its viewers
experience the power of God that
is present and working in people’s
lives today. It will offer the audience
an opportunity to receive prayer and
ministry from worldwide spiritual
leaders and fellow viewers from across
the globe.
The show will be highly interactive,
incorporating live chat on screen, taking
prayer requests via Skype calls, and
using Facebook and Twitter.
The idea for the show grew from a
regular webcast that CBN.com started
last year, which developed an online
community of thousands of people
from around the world.
Said Gordon Robertson, “The response
to the webcast has been tremendous, with
people logging on from many countries
including Saudi Arabia, Hungary and
Japan. ... We’re seeing that the members
of the online community are continuing
to minister to themselves and others
around the clock and not just when the
webcast airs.”
If you’ve been looking for more
prayer time, expanded teaching, and
step-by-step demonstrations of using
the gifts of the Spirit – you’re going to
love CBN’s new 700 Club Interactive.
Here’s how you can be a part of this
dynamic new program:
• 700 Club Interactive will tape live
over the Internet on weekdays at
noon at CBN.com.
• Link up via live chat, webcam or
phone in.
• Watch the program each weekday
morning at 9:30 a.m. est on the
ABC Family Channel.

Miraculous Stories That Will Build Your Faith
Watch these extraordinary stories of everyday people touched
by our awesome God. Then send them to a friend and
encourage someone today.
Bill couldn’t stop smoking
Since sixth grade Bill was hooked.
Even when his dad died of cancer,
he couldn’t quit. Then he received
a special message – and that same
message can set you free.
Whose report will you believe?
In his 70s and facing
a home filled with
mud and debris, Matt
desperately needed help
Matt approached
Operation Blessing’s cleanup
crew and asked for help: “I
can’t do this all by myself!”
Then, overwhelmed by what
had happened to his home,
he broke down in tears.
Matt, like many others
in this rural community of
Linton, North Dakota, had to
evacuate his home to escape
the freezing flood waters.
When they returned, they
found destruction and loss.
You made it possible for
Operation Blessing’s disaster
relief team to be among the
first to help. You provided
a mobile kitchen to feed
victims and volunteers.
Operation Blessing organized
cleanup crews, who worked
in knee-deep snow, to
clear homes of mud and
debris. You changed an
overwhelming nightmare
into an opportunity for hope.
Matt said it best, “This is an
awesome day! Thank you for
coming to help us out.”
After this police officer was hit by a drunk
driver, doctors said Mark would lose his
legs and never heal. Mark chose to believe a
different report. Find out what happened.
When you need a creative miracle
Collin’s eardrums had completely
deteriorated from disease. But God
Almighty is the great Creator – and He
had a miracle in store. God can do a
creative miracle for you too.

debris from a home in North Dakota.

the Future for Orphans

Feeding hungry ch

around the world
Tragically, there are more than 140
million orphans in the world today. “These
children have no home, no family, and no
hope,” said Terry Meeuwsen, executive
director of CBN’s Orphan’s Promise.
But as a CBN partner, you are rescuing
precious young lives from poverty, disease
and neglect through Orphan’s Promise.
Here are just a few recent examples:
• When Cambodian children were
clawing through a garbage dump
looking for something to eat or sell, you
brought them to a Christian school
where they receive education and
nutritious meals.
• When Romanian orphans were laughed
out of school because they were dirty,
sick, and in rags, you gave them
medicine, clean clothing, and tutoring
so they could re-enter school with
confident smiles.
Thanks to partners like you, Orphan’s
Promise now gives hope to precious
children in these 30 countries.
• And when Colombian girls were
abused and abandoned by drugaddicted parents, you provided them
with safe shelter where they found
healing for their bodies and hope
for their hearts.

young lives through Orphan’s Promise, visit

A History of Innovation,
Integrity and Excellence
God has been faithful to give Pat Robertson a
unique ability to read the times and understand
the pulse of the nation and the world
“I didn’t own a television set. This wasn’t my field. But God Almighty
profoundly led me to leave New York City and to come to Portsmouth,
Virginia, with $70 and buy a television station.” ~ Pat Robertson
In 1960, with a boldness fueled by faith and trust in God, Pat Robertson
named his newborn ministry The Christian Broadcasting Network. “God’s
plan far transcended one little television station,” said Pat in his book,
Miracles Can Be Yours Today. “God was thinking of a technology not yet
born – satellite television.”
From the innovative use of satellite television to the world’s leading Christian
news organization now on the World Wide Web, CBN continues to break
ground in utilizing the latest technology available to support its mission of
preparing America and the nations of the world for the return of Jesus Christ.
Over the years, God has been faithful to reveal His plans and give
Pat Robertson a unique ability to read the times and understand the pulse
of the nation and the world. Pat’s desire has been to share those insights
with people everywhere in order to improve their lives.
Partners and friends of CBN are aware of Pat’s keen
economic wisdom and his ability to understand and
analyze the chaotic financial world we live in today.
Pat has taken that unique understanding and
written his 19th book, Right On the Money: Financial
Advice for Tough Times. In it, people will find a
practical step-by-step guide to financial health and
stability in this turbulent world.
Right On the Money: Financial Advice for Tough Times
is available on CBN.com beginning May 27th.

What Not to Eat
The right choices can help you lose
weight, increase energy,
and improve your mood
C
BN News reporter Lorie Johnson recently
interviewed nutrition expert Joy Bauer, author of
Joy’s Life Diet. Bauer’s advice? “You don’t want foods
that can help you lose weight while elevating your
cholesterol and blood pressure. The wrong foods can give
you headaches and leave you feeling cranky.”
• WHAT NOT TO EAT FOR ENERGY
Millions of people think foods that contain sugar give them
energy, but nothing could be further from the truth. Sugar
actually zaps your strength.
Bauer explained, “It’s deceiving because you do get an energy
boost moments after eating sugar, but minutes later your energy
level plummets lower than it was before you ate the sugar. So if
you’re feeling sluggish and tired, cut out refined sugar, fruit juice,
corn syrup, honey, and jam.”
Johnson added, “Stay away from refined or white carbohydrates
like white bread, bagels, white rice, and pasta. These foods break
down so quickly in your digestive system, it’s almost like eating
plain sugar. On the other hand, whole-grain versions of the same
foods are great for you – high in fiber, which keeps you feeling full
and satisfied and they digest slowly, giving you energy.”
• WHAT IS THE #1 FOOD TO AVOID?
Bauer stated, “The worst food that people should avoid at all
cost is soda. Soda is just empty calories, pure sugar. ... If you trim
one 20-ounce soda off each and every day, at the end of a year
you have saved 125 straight cups of sugar from entering your
body, and you can potentially lose 26 pounds just from that one
tip.” And stay away from soda’s cousins: fruit juices and sports
drinks – many are loaded with unneeded salt and large amounts
of processed sugar.
In addition to sugary drinks, steer clear of hot dogs. Bauer
explained, “They call it a protein food but it’s 70 percent fat,
so people should work on
minimizing or eliminating

We Are His Chosen,
Beloved Children
God shapes every circumstance
in our lives for good
What a tremendous
blessing to be chosen by
God as His children!
Romans 8:14-16 says,
For all who are being
led by the Spirit of God,
these are sons of God. ...
You have received a
spirit of adoption as sons by which we cry
out, “Abba! Father!” The Spirit Himself
bears witness with our spirit that we are
children of God.
Even before God created the universe,
He ordained that we would be part of
His family! Ephesians 1:4 says, ... He
chose us in Him before the foundation
of the world.
As His dearly beloved children, we
can rest assured that He will always take
care of us. Romans 8:28 tells us, And we
know that God causes all things to work
together for good to those who love God,
to those who are called according to His
purpose. This means that in His love,
God will shape every circumstance in
our lives for good.
He forgives whatever sins we have
committed, declaring us innocent
through Jesus’ death on the cross. In
fact, God’s love for us is so strong ...
that neither death, nor life, nor angels,
nor principalities, nor things present, nor
things to come, nor powers, nor height,
nor depth, nor any other created thing,
shall be able to separate us from the love
of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord
(Romans 8:38-39).
God is delighted when we share His
love with the world so that more sons
and daughters are adopted into His
family. And someday, He will take us to
live with Him in heaven, where His love
extends throughout all eternity. God
bless you. Scripture is quoted from the nasb.

Praying for Revival
by George Woodward
President of The Christian Broadcasting Associates
QUÉBEC is considered to be the largest mission
field in both North and South America. Its landscape is
filled with large traditional churches that are just waiting
for revival and reformation to come to fill them with
spiritually hungry people. Many people with a traditional church heritage
have a reverence and respect for God and will become very excited and
exuberant believers when their eyes are opened to the love of the Father.
ONTARIO has always been so sure of its economic strength because
of its manufacturing and commercial foundations, but today those
foundations are being shaken. I believe that Ontario is poised to see the
many prophetic words spoken about it come to pass.
Please join me in praying for these two central and strategic provinces.

Praying for Our
Canadian Partners

CBA staff members gathered to
pray for the needs of our Canadian

Week of Prayer last month.
by Gordon Robertson
BN is about to launch
the broadcast of our
newest program:
700 Club Interactive.
The heart of this new show is to
demonstrate the working out of
God’s spiritual gifts in the lives of
believers. As we begin this
adventure of faith, I am
encouraged by the promise God
made through the Prophet Joel in
the Old Testament:
And it shall come to pass
afterward that I will pour out My
Spirit on all flesh; Your sons and
your daughters shall prophesy …
(Joel 2:28-29, nkjv).
It’s amazing to know that God
desires to speak to us and through
us. God wants to speak to you.
God wants to use you to
demonstrate His love and power to
a world in need.
The above verses from Joel tell
us who qualifies to receive God’s
Spirit. All flesh. Not just perfect
flesh, not just teacher-preacher
flesh, but all flesh. This includes
you and me. The Almighty God
Page 8
has chosen to use us to minister
truth, love, healing, and mercy in
this fallen world. I like to put it
this way: God has voluntarily
limited Himself to our unlimited
ability in Him.
God is no respecter of persons.
What He has done for others, He
will do for you. We activate His
incredible gifts by faith. We must
step out in faith and use the gifts
God has promised us. No one
gets saved or healed by our “good
thoughts.” It requires action. We
share, we give, we prophesy, we
pray – and God does the spiritual
transformation. That’s what 700
Club Interactive is all about. It’s a
safe place for you to build your
faith and exercise the spiritual
gifts God has given you. Together,
we can share the love of God with
our neighbors and the world.
