groups that have no church, and mow missionary and no one planning to go. >> a daunting task, to say the least. and hang around many young people here at lausanne, and they'll tell you they are fired up about getting involved. and so many of them have a deep respect and gratitude to those such as billy graham, that labod for the great commission. >> they inspired us to how our generation wil respond to the challenges of our times. to see people, twice, three times my age, that have so much fire and passion that have remained so long. that i can see that my race can be run by an example of those standing before me. >> as 4,000 plus participants plan to scatter from capetown to

community. >> water purification plant ca provide 10,000 gallons of clean drinking water. and they can make a solution similar to chlorine. and what the operation is is the president, bill. >> how seriouss this disease? >> it spreads fast. and it's nowhere near where the earthquake hit. but the problem is that one of their rive got contaminated. the people were drinking from the water and contacted cholera.

>> operation blessing is on the ground and what are ty doing? >> we are working with partners of health, and they asked us to give them a hand by providing disinfected water. and we got up there, and the people in the hospital asked each patient. where did you come from. and they drew a map and traced the source of cholera back to this river. we went out and installed a purification unit. and have a team that is providg 30,000 gallons of water a day. >> because cholera is a water-borne diseas >> it is and when there is a lot of heat and poor sanitation. it's been raining is a lot and now the water source for the people is being handled.

this should clear up soon. >> now, this is officially an outbreak. they are calling an cholera outbreak in haiti. how likely is it that it will spread or hopefully be contained? >> we are hopeful thait will be containe the president of hai this morning did confirm it was cholera. and the united nations is involved. >> how can our viewers help, of course we can pray. but w can we help the people of haiti now? >> they can go to our website at www.ob.org, we have a paypal donation se to help the people in haiti. >> it's been eight or nine months sin the earthquake. what still needs to be de?

because the infrastructure was demolished. >> operation blessing is to help with the cause, and choleras contaminated water. we have 30 water purification units working in haiti everyday. we a working with microenterprise for jobs. and we are deworming children, and the cause of disease is mosqui mosquito-borne, and we have nets and to help with the cause of malaria. and we try to go after the cause instead of the effect. >> and i love that you guys go and stay until the work is done. when "christian world news" returns, a novel rips from the headlines. we will talk to joel rosenberg about his latest thrler.

>> welcome back. a christian pastor in iran is scheduled to be put to deatha

october 24. usef carries a charge from iran and targeted from converting muslims to christ. ahmadijad believe that is a figure knn as mahdi will appear. and called the 12th imam and joel rosenberg's thriller, about his new book, "the twelfth imam." >> joel, this is a fascinating read. and why now? >> because it affts the policy now. the leaders of islam that this 12th imam is coming and once he

comes either israel and the united states, judeo-christian society will have already been destroyed. or all the conditions for their destruction will be there. and the messiah will come and finish all the ifendal. and ahmadinejad said this summer that he visited with the 12th imam. he said this in july. and no one know what ise means by this. but he's said that he's had meetings with the 12th imam. who are they meeting with? a person? a spirit? a combination. or just making this up. if our intelligence agency was tracking that and explaining to our political leaders, listen, this is how iran's leaders are making decisions. it would lead you to

conclusion that its lead me to. how would you negottion with or contain or deter that people believe that it's their god-give mission to desty judeo-christians. and like many, i wou say, we don't have a lot of influence in washingt. so the question is what do we do. and we want to be sure that everyone in israel has heard the message of jesus christ. and everyonen between. because a war is coming. i can't ll you when, but a major war between iran and israel is coming. and people are going to die. people are going to suffer. and theuestion is whether they

would have heard the good news that god loves them and wants to adopt the into his family, through faith in jesus christ, or not. and it's critical that we reach that region with the gospel now. because we know the truth. given eezekiel 36-37 has come true, those end times prophecies have happened. and those have ce to pass, isn't it rotely possible that ezekiel 38 and 39 wi. >> is this a just a warning fro god or eminent? >> the scriptures say this day is comi. a lot of complications and cross currents. one theme, the region is growing

unified against israel. at a time when the rest of the world, including the u.s. government under the obama administration seems to be loosening its support of israel, also. and it's a very dangerous and lonely place for israel to be. and another reason for followers of christ to stand with israel and th palestinians at thi critical moment. >> hear more of our intervi of joel rosenberg on our website, cbnnews.com and find works of the church around the globe. up next faith and transformation, how the painkiller capital of the nation became the city hope.

>> five years ago, we brought you a story of the small town in eastern ntucky, torn apart by

drugs and corruption the people were desperate and turned to god for answers. and now telling the rest of america about their transformation. westchester is now known as the city of hope, tonight they come out to see how god reformed a region held captive of drugs and corruption. it started in 2004, the citizen of clay county were desperate. their children were dying from drugs, and dealers ran the town. and the folks laid aside their differences to march through town. they told the drug dealers, get saved or busted. the pastors came together to not

allow ev to take the land. >> first of all, when the churches marched through town together. for us, that was bigger than the parting of the red sea. and you can talk today abo the march, and everyone tears up. it was an awesome thing that happened. and from that, all of a sudden, the church had a voice in our community. we thoht we had a voice before. but we really didn't. >> since the march of 2004, nearly every facet of socie in manchester has been transformed. locals say that even the land is responding to the increased presence of god. >> when god comes, he comes like a chiropractor, he snaps those areas not in alignment. a few years ago there were no

elk here in the eastern kentucky. but now they have the largest elk population east of th missisppi. the black bear have returned in large numbers. which ha brought tourists back into the area and rekindled the economy of some of the local areas. >> even the water is better, in 2008, kentucky awarded manchester for having the best tasting water in the state. researching nearly 800 cases of transformation revival around the world. but until manchester, not one place in ameri that met all the criteria. >> transformation is not confined to conferences. so when you talk about the presence of god in church meetings, that's one thing. but what about city hall, can

can the feel the presence of god there. or the city campuses and jail and so forth. >> otis said that the pow of god fell on manchester. because the people of god fell on their knees. >> they had two choices, either throw in the wel and say, we're long an entire generation to drugs. or fight back. and it wasn't the whole community that fought back. it was a handful of people that did. but that's very typically the way it works in genuine transformation stories. >> it was amazing. i didn't never dream that god could take someone like me and the way i used to be and put me where i am now. >> after years of running from the law, former drug addict surrenders his life to christ. and helps others get off of

drugs at lifeline in a community church. >> guys who did time with me, say, he's lost his mine. and say, i found the right thing and his name is jesus. >> they hit the road in what they are calling "hope for america tour". >> i was in tears a lot. i had a son that died from drugs. and he was only 42. that's why i have such a passion to try to help other people that are addicted. >> and i believe tt we are now, you know, 12-24 months away from a whole new crop of transformed communities in different parts of the united states. i can't tell you which ones they are going to be. but some of them are going to

ignite. >> i said, lord, why mancheer, kentucky. because he said, if people can understand how bad its been and where you are now. it can give every city in america hope, that they can change. >> city of hope. for more information on how to get the appalachian tour, visit our website at cbnnews.c. we wilbe right back. pa passp
