[music] [music] >> ginger: the nation of madagascar is an absolutely stunningly beautiful place. the mountains, the rolling countryside, and when most people think about madagascar, what do they think of? the cartoon characters, having fun, being cute, and while there's nothing wrong with that at all, the reality of what this country is is actually quite different. seventy percent of the people here live on below

$1 a day. in fact, there are 50,000 street children living right here in the capital city; children living on their own, and they're facing incredibly difficult circumstances. you can see what the living conditions are like, no sanitation, very difficult economy. in fact, "forbes magazine" has called this country, madagascar, the very worst economy in the world. >> brad: madagascar is a place that's not really on many countries' radars, and i think because it's not been on people's radar that they haven't realized the level of suffering going on in this place. so with all the disease, sickness, malnutrition that's going around, there's a lot of death, so there is a huge orphan problem, too, and that's pushing kids to the streets. >> matthew: here we are in central antananarivo, madagascar, and we're at the hope center with joyce meyer ministry hand of hope. the children that are coming to

the center are absolutely--have a joyful experience coming to this place, and it's a place where they can feel that-- you know, the love of god. and that's the thing that's gonna change and transform their lives. [music] >> matthew: and as you can see with the dancing, the contrast from the life on the street, and they know we love them and accept them. >> brad: you know, there are a lot of kids that you see them every month, you see almost a different child. there's a new level of openness. there's a new level of love. there's one boy in particular, jean paul, when i first met him, he was sleeping completely on the streets. but he opened up and he was in tears and he told me how much he hated the fear of living on the streets. he's now met a loving god. he's now reaching out and helping others. in fact, he's one of our key volunteers at the center. he's taken ownership. it's his center. he wants to help other kids.

that's the love of god. it changes us so that we can help change others. >> ginger: with a good meal eventually comes renewed strength. that's certainly the case for 9-year-old zo. he lives in a small, three-room house with his mother and two sisters. and thanks to the feeding program, they are all seeing some amazing changes. a nutritious meal each day has given zo much-needed strength. he now cherishes the simple moments like playing soccer with his friends. >> daniel: these kids were playing with these homemade soccer balls, basically, all these bags wadded up with rope tied around them into a ball and that's pretty much all they had to play with. it's just really cool to be able to go and buy some soccer balls and just come back and, you know, throw them a ball and they just got so excited over that one soccer ball. coming to the well

today, and just when we pulled up to it and walked down the hill to it, and then walking out to this well way out in the middle of nowhere, literally, you just well up with happiness when you see that these people can now have water. >> matthew: we have established a water well in the middle of this village and normally they had been going to the rice fields to get polluted drinking water. people had promised to bring a water well in here, other organizations, but it never happened. >> razafy: [foreign language] >> matthew: she kept praying. she didn't give up. four hundred people now have clean, fresh drinking water for the first time in their life. >> translator: goding water for answered my prayer. >> matthew: we use these water wells as a platform to preach the gospel and it's so impactful that we come in here with a two-handed gospel, bringing fresh, clean, drinking water and then tell the people how to know

the true and living god. >> daniel: without our partners, we couldn't dig a well out in the middle of nowhere, you know, or have a feeding program in a village. it just wouldn't be possible. >> brad: we can't look away. we've seen it. we know that it's happening and just because we change the channel, doesn't mean that they are not there right now crying out for help. we can do something about it and we are doing something about it so we're just gonna keep on doing more. [music] [music]

[music] >> female: it was terrifying. the winds were so constant with these big, big gusts. >> nancy: i was afraid of that cold and i didn't know how long i had to stay there and i just couldn't get warm. >> female: i've been doing this for 23 years and this is all i have, and it's gone. >> ginger: the ocean is actually several blocks that direction to our left, but at the time of the storm, waters rose so quickly and flooded through all of these homes, absolutely destroying everything in its path. in fact, even second-story homes in this area had water in that second story. so the power of that water and,

of course, all of the dirt and everything that it carried with it was so destructive. we are having an outreach to be able to distribute desperately needed items and provide even more needed hope. >> ginger: you know, as we've been walking around and just talking to families, there's a lot of heartache, you know, people are hurting and yet, there does seem to be some resiliency, some hope. "we're gonna come back from this." what are you seeing? >> jeff: we're seeing that exact same thing. one of the interesting things about a line like this, when people come through the line, we're using all volunteers from local churches. so not only are people encouraging, but people are literally praying for people as they go through the line. the bag of food helps and the water and all the other product and we've brought a lot of product, but what really impacts people is hope. >> ginger: seventy-two-year-old nancy calls herself one of the lucky ones.

she climbed these pull-down stairs into her attic more than 20 times pulling everything into it she could. >> ginger: what do you see as the future of you getting through this? how are you going to do this? >> nancy: i don't know. i have to be strong. >> ginger: nancy huddled in her attic for nearly 3 days trying to keep warm as the water ravaged her home. a local pastor, brendon wilson, was searching the neighborhood for people needing help when he found nancy frightened and dehydrated. his church, new covenant community church, was teaming with dradt, disaster relief and disaster training. >> chance: so we realize, time and time again, that every disaster is different in the aspect of the damage. it may be a flood. it may be a tornado. it may be an ice storm. well, the constant thing in every disaster is you have people that need help and people that want to help and so the relief side is obviously

we're connecting those two to achieve help but the training side is we're coming in and training churches before disaster happens of how to go out into the community and be the hands and feet of christ. >> nancy: so many people lost, you know, their history, their family pictures and everything and that's why i took 20 times coming up there because i saved, just everything. i had a love letter from my father to my mother. i saved all that stuff. so that's why i--i'm fortunate, i really, really am. >> ginger: as time passes, the regions devastated by hurricane sandy improve little by little every day. however, remember behind every image of a home destroyed, there's a person like nancy, trying to stay strong in their greatest hour of need. thank you for helping hand of hope reach out to those people through our partnership with disaster relief agencies and local churches. there's still a long road to

recovery for nancy, but she's surrounded with people of god sharing the love of christ, so she'll make it. >> nancy: dear pastor brendon there--he's talked to me on the telephone. i felt real good afterwards, real good. [music] [music]

>> pathumwan: being a pastor for more than 35 years, we have come across a lot of needs among our people. poverty, it's one thing, and lack of education. above all this spiritual blindness of the people and have hindered them from the truth. >> joyce: i've had the privilege of teaching god's word for 35 years. >> [translating throughout] >> joyce: and i can truly say that god's word has completely changed my life. >> prathumwan: television has been going on here more than 6 years. >> tu: if they have not this

station and this studio to produce the joyce tv, i think that they won't have chance to know about jesus. >> prathumwan: every month, we receive between 300 to 500 responses. >> tu: it's very exciting that a lot of people respond to our ministry. they want to know more about jesus. >> joyce: big smiles. big smiles. >> ginger: nina and i are just playing with dolls and having a great time. and i really wanted you to meet her because nina is 8 years old and she lives here at the bethel children's home in chiang rai, thailand. now, nina's life could be very, very different. you see, one day nina's mom was in a tragic accident. she was hit by a car and she didn't make it. and unfortunately, several months after they lost their mother, they also lost their father when he took

his own life. well, nina has the opportunity to live a very different life now. she is cared for because this children's home is made available by the partners of joyce meyer ministries. she's here. she's playing. she's enjoying life. she's being loved and most importantly, she knows who jesus is and how much he loves her. [music] >> joyce: how are you? good to see you. bless you.

>> joyce: jemma, you have heard things from these girls, they've talked to you about things that they haven't talked to anybody else about. what are some of the things that really stand out to you? >> jemma: deep down they want to change and we can see those that are willing to be helped, really there is a very fast process in their life and plus that they will meet jesus here, and that really the completion of everything in their life. >> female: [foreign language] >> female: [foreign language]

>> female: [foreign language] >> joyce: we are very happy to be able to provide this beautiful home for you to live in. and i also want you to know that i understand the types of things that you've been through and the pain that you've had in your life, but the bible teaches us that if we're in christ, then we're new creatures and old things pass away and all things become brand new. but i really want to encourage you not to ever give up on yourself. god loves all of us equally and you've got a great future. >> joyce: come on, you gotta give me hugs, everybody, gotta have hugs. [music]

[music] >> jack: it's indicative of any city that you're gonna see, whether it's in this country or america or anywhere in the world, you've got homeless people. and it's unfortunate whether it's by choice or by circumstance, people are in need and they're living on the streets. and this is such a multicultural place. we've got people coming in from all around the world and because of that, you've gotta

be sensitive to what the needs are culturally. you've gotta be sensitive to the culture. you've gotta be able to reach out and minister to people where they're at. jesus, in most times, he met a practical need in somebody's life before he even presented the gospel to them. we partner with green light because they're reaching the homeless with a medical van that we have helped fund and support and they're going out and reaching the homeless with just basic medical needs. and it's just a great opportunity to reach them again right where they're at. >> luke: when we actually launched, there was a team that got together a couple of years ago, and we didn't have the van at the time and they were going out on to the streets to see what the need was. and it was quite apparent that many of them needed medical attention. and i believe it was my senior pastor who said, "hey, why don't we run a medical van?" and so about 12 months ago, thanks to the--you guys here at hand of hope, we were able to buy a van and kit the van out, as you can see in the background. >> ginger: it's beautiful. >> luke: yeah. and build a team around us. i was able to speak to a couple

of other support agencies in london who were already providing shelter and food but said they had a gap for medical attention and medical care for their service users. and so after some discussions and some negotiation, they invited us along and we've been teaming up ever since with various support agencies around london. and they, like i said, do food and shelter, and we come along with some pastoral care and obviously some medical care. >> cecilia: it's absolutely amazing because in general these people doesn't access to medical help. i really admire your work and the fact that all the nurses are voluntary in here, they come after work, it's absolutely amazing. i do think it's exactly what we needed for this-- for our service. >> ruth: we do blood pressure. we do temperature. we do blood sugar levels for those who might be diabetic, heart rates, those kind of things. and then as we talk to them if they want anymore things like wound care or whatever,

we--we'll just take them, sit down, look at the wounds, clean them up. actually, this is incredible this ministry. there is nothing else like this in london. there's nothing that is taking the care for patients out into the streets. but just knowing that i'm going out to meet a need that nobody else is reaching. >> ginger: help us understand a little bit. when someone sits in this chair, how do they respond to you? because they have to be hesitant a little bit, leery, a little bit fearful. what do you see? >> ruth: well, we see a lot. actually at first people are very hesitant because they don't know us. the streets are a very dangerous place to live and, you know, people don't feel like they have any value or worth. and so, "why are you caring about us? why do you want to spend some time with us?" so it's really nice to know that you're spending time and people are getting that attention. >> malcolm: if it wasn't for the medical van coming in regular, i wouldn't be able to get me blood sugar checked regular, me weight checked, blood pressure and any problems. they are able to sort it out.

they can also give you advice. they're a friendly bunch and they don't treat you below them. they treat you as if you're another human being. >> luke: we're called green light because it's about moving forward. and for me, we can't promise the world and we don't. we don't want to promise the world, but we do want to encourage that if they come on to the van, there can be a change in their life, that we can offer them the support. we can offer them the love. we can offer them the time to hopefully move forward from the crossroads that they currently find themselves in. and if we can help them in some way move forward, then i feel that we're doing a good job. >> malcolm: keep doing i feel the work you're doing. don't stop. there's people out there like me that need you. [music]

>> joyce: well, god is working all over the world doing special things and helping people and as a partner with joyce meyer ministries, you are part of that work that god is doing. you know, i've noticed, and i'm sure you have too, that god works through people. very seldom do we ask god to do something for us that he doesn't use a person in some way, shape or form. even when it comes to preaching the gospel, he does that through people. and so this is a very special thank you to you for partnering with us and helping be part of fulfilling other people's dreams and visions and meeting their needs. you know, in philippians chapter 1, verse 5, paul thanked his partners. and he said, "i thank my god for your fellowship, your

sympathetic cooperation and your contributions in partnership in advancing the good news," now listen to this, "from the first day you heard it until now." and that little last sentence has always struck me because apparently, hearing the gospel was such good news to them that they got so excited about it that from the very first time they heard it, they wanted to make that gospel available to other people all around the world. and i think one of the ways that we say thank you to god is to help make that message available to other people. and so at our ministry, we believe in accountability and transparency so we invite you to visit our website and see how the gifts that you send to the ministry are being used. we love to just bring you in and say you're part of this and we also want you to know the things that you want to know. so once again, we appreciate you so much. thank you, thank you, thank you and god bless you.

the tombstone, crying, "why did you leave me? why did you leave me?" the pastor went to him and said, "can i pray for you?" and he says, "yeah." "who is that that passed away?" "my wife's first husband." alright, let's get back to what i was sharing with you. we are so afraid when people are not under law, they become lawless. that's the fleshly fear the devil puts in the hearts and the minds of the people. the devil tells you without the law, you become lawless. but how come god called abraham his friend? abraham lived more than 400 years before the ten commandments was given and he was tight with god, man. he was called my friend. god calls him my friend.

♪ i'm a friend of god ♪ i'm a friend of god you like that move? slow motion. ♪ you and i ♪ must make a pledge ♪ we must bring ♪ salvation back ♪ just call his name ♪ he'll be there i believe he's in heaven. "well, how do you know that pastor prince?" well, i'm not a universalist, but i tell you this, there'll be more people saved than you reckon, all right, because of god's mercy. god says, "believe on the lord jesus you shall be saved and your house." you'll never know between that stage of unconsciousness and the place where one departs, god can just visit someone

and say, "yo, i'm jesus." because my bible tells me that john saw, in the book of revelation, a multitude no man could number of every tongue, of every nation, of every tribe, which no man could number. but nothing is said of that in terms of those who go to hell. it seems like there are more going to heaven-- whoa, hallelujah! and i think this church, this ministry, has a lot to do with that. unveiling the goodness of god. amen? when peter first met jesus, jesus said, "let's go fishing," all right? and peter caught--the whole night he caught nothing and he said to the lord, "at your word, i'll let down the net." carpenter, fisherman. "well, if you say so,

i'll let down the net." he let down one net and his net broke. it was a boat-sinking load of fishes. and then he realized who jesus was. he fell at jesus' feet and says, "depart from me, i'm a sinful man." now, question; which one came first? the goodness of god or peter's repentance? it's the goodness of god that leads us to repentance. so ministries like joel, "god's so good," it's powerful. a soft tongue breaks bones. oh, man, ufc, oh. sorry, excuse me. forgot i was in lakewood. you know, luke 18 and 19, the holy spirit put these two scriptures together, luke 18 and 19. i don't believe these two events happened chronologically,

but the holy spirit put them together in divine order. in luke 18 is the rich young ruler. in luke 19 is zacchaeus. in luke 18, the rich, young ruler came to jesus and said, "what must i do? what shall i do to inherit eternal life?" he was emphasizing his doing. now, jesus should have given the evangelical answer, "believe on me and you shall be saved," but he did not. what did jesus give him? the law. "honor your father and mother. thou shall not steal. don't commit adultery." and you know what the young man did? he was quite smart. he said, "all these i've kept." whenever you boast in the law, jesus always comes back to you and say, "one thing you lack." 'cause by the law is the knowledge of sin. god never gave the law to justify men by. god gave the law so that every mouth may be stopped and all the world become guilty before god so that all will see

their need for grace. jesus said, "one thing you lack, sell all that you have and give to the poor and come and follow me." that's the first commandment, "you must have no other gods, not even mammon, not even money." the bible tells us that young man went away sorrowful. next chapter, zacchaeus. jesus came into jericho and the bible tells us zacchaeus was short so he climbed a tree. "for all have seen and come short of the glory of god." and the answer is always the tree. so he looked down and jesus looked up. and jesus says, "zacchaeus, come down. i must eat at your house." wow. and all the people started whispering because zacchaeus was a tax collector, that's like betraying your own nation. and the scandal of grace began. "he has gone to eat with someone who's a sinner. he's gone on this tv show. he's gone on that tv show."

oh, i'm sorry. "he's gone to zacchaeus' house." no laws given, just grace. at the end of that meal, zacchaeus stood up and said, "you know, all that i've cheated, i'll repay fourfold. half my goods i give to the poor." jesus smiles and says, "salvation has come to this house." now watch this. in luke 18, jesus gave the rich, young ruler the law and he could hardly give up a dollar. under grace, jesus gave no laws but grace and his wallet was open, his house was open. everything about zacchaeus was open. you know i always say, i gotta watch it. when my wife comes under grace, she gives everything away. i'm afraid that one of these days, she will give me away. grace makes you generous.

grace opens up your heart. and some leaders and some pastors are so afraid of grace because if i preach grace, the people will stop giving. nothing could be further from the truth. they will give and give for all the right reasons, not out of fear of the curse, but they give because the grace of god is upon them in abundance. amen. you know, we have added to the gospel, folks. it's sad. jesus christ died on the cross to give us the gift of righteousness. he became our sin that we might become his righteousness. he was cursed that we might be blessed. he was made poor at the cross that we might be rich. he wore the crown of thorns so that we can have the crown of peace and yet, we have added to the gospel. it's always jesus plus something. jesus plus restitution. you have that teaching here?

not here in this church. this is a grace church. i'm talking about in america. restitution, it's not enough to be saved. you must repay back everything that you have taken. if you're a thief, you must restore everything you have stolen. it's virtually impossible. can you imagine the thief at the cross when jesus was nailed there? and the thief turns to jesus and says, "lord, remember me when you come into your kingdom." and jesus says to him, "i would save you if only you will make restitution." the thief says, "i would, lord, but i'm kind of stuck." no, that wasn't the way it works. he said, "lord, remember me." "today, you shall be with me in paradise." hallelujah! he's made it easy, folks. praise to his fearless name, his wonderful name. hallelujah! this is our god. this is our king.

he came a long way for us. he came a long way for us. jesus is amazing. you know, we tend to get into human reasoning, but in the economy of god, he loves for you to take from him just like martha and mary. when jesus came to martha's house, martha went into the kitchen and she was busy preparing food. but mary sat at jesus' feet. now in the asian custom, or the middle eastern custom, what mary did was rude. what martha did was right socially. but in god's economy, he wanted mary right where she was, drawing from him, hearing his word. and martha came out and she was stressed out, and she was grumpy, and she was angry and... "lord, don't you care my sister has left me alone to serve?" she blamed two at one goal.

"don't you care my sister," blamed the lord and the sister. you know when you're under stress, you blame everybody but yourself. and jesus looked at her and says, "martha, martha, you are troubled and worried about many things, but one thing--" say, "one thing." you know why martha was troubled about many things? because she didn't do the one thing that mary did. no, you don't believe that. many of you believe a few things are necessary, not only one thing. but jesus says, "one thing is necessary, and mary has chosen the good part, which shall not be taken away from her." amen. which sister made jesus feel like god? martha, who saw him in his natural tiredness wanting to give to him, or mary, who took and took and took from him? to an inexhaustible fullness that is still there beneath that veneer of tiredness.

for he came not to be served but to serve. when he was tired at the well in sychar, a sinner woman came. the bible tells us she came in the afternoon because she want to avoid all the lady folks, you know, in their gossiping in the morning. so the same in the afternoon when jesus was there. and the bible tells us the disciples have gone to buy some mcdonald's. and she took from jesus and she went away. she took from jesus and took from him, and she went away and this time she was no longer self-conscious, but christ conscious telling that everyone in the city of samaria, "come see a man who told me everything about myself." notice, she was delivered from self because she took from jesus. when the disciples came back with their mcdonald's-- want to give jesus food. obviously they saw jesus was reinvigorated. he looked different then when he--when they left him.

he looked charged up. he looked fresh. and they asked one another, "has someone given him food?" you see, with the lord, when you take from him, you reinvigorate him. when you take from him, it's as if you make him stronger. david said it this way, "what shall i render to the lord for all his benefits to me?" you know how god feels appreciated? david gave us the answer. "what shall i give back to god for all his benefits to me? i will take the cup of salvation." the answer, all right, is to take some more from god. amen. god love for you to take from him. take your healing. take your provision. take his goodness. take, take, take, take. amen. and then you'll give and give and give. for unless you take, you have nothing to give. with men, horizontally it's more blessed to give than to receive. with god, it's more blessed

to receive, and he wants you to receive. amen. you know, sometimes we come to jesus for a sermon. we come to jesus to have something to give to somebody else. we come to draw water instead of drinking. you can draw water and still die of thirst, but jesus says, "if you come to me and drink--" drink is a personal consumption. "come to me and drink, out of your belly shall flow rivers of living water for others." amen. let me bring this to a close. blessed are the short-winded, for they shall be invited back,

so says the great man of god. my mama didn't raise no fool. you know, one time they brought a woman caught in adultery and they just so rudely threw her right in front of jesus while he was teaching in the temple. and they said, the pharisees said, "master, we have caught this woman in the act of adultery. now, moses, according to the law, says that such shall be stoned. what sayest thou?" caught in the act, she was not probably clothed. now, from what i understand about adultery, it takes two. is it the same in houston? i mean, in singapore it takes two. so where is the man?

it was probably one of the pharisees. "master, this is what moses says, what do you say?" now if jesus says, "don't stone her," "uh-ah, uh-ah, you're breaking moses' law. if he had said, "stone her," everyone around there would be wondering. they're confused because he preach about grace and love. so they thought either way, they caught jesus. he said nothing. you know what he did? he bent down, with his finger he wrote on the ground. now, what is that a picture of? by the way, the precincts of the temple is not earthen ground. it is cobbled stones. look up here. we have a picture here. it is cobbled stones, so god is writing on stone. he's saying, "you presume

to talk to me about the law? i am the one who gave the law. now since you brought up the law--" it's almost as if jesus unleashed the full light of the law upon all of them by saying, "he that is without sin among you, cast the first stone." now he didn't break the law. he upheld the law, but only one who is sinless can throw the first stone. and one by one, they dropped their rocks. jesus stooped down again and the second time he wrote on the ground. now, god gave the ten commandments twice. god wrote on stone twice. the first time never made it to the bottom. moses broke it all.

and god says, "mo', come back here." so he went up for another 40 days, and god gave another 2 sets, right? but this time god said, "put it under the mercy seat in the ark of the covenant." mercy rejoices over judgment. that is the reason why the bible says when you fall from grace--notice, grace is higher than the law, fall from grace. and the second time he--after he said, "those without sin, cast the first stone," he knelt down and the second time again he wrote on the ground by the symbolic action testifying he's the one who gave the law. now, there was one who was sinless, who could cast the stone that day. his name is?

and you know something? when it comes to stoning that lady, that girl, the pharisees would if they could, but they could not. jesus, on the other hand, could but he would not. hallelujah! this is our god! this is our savior! the bible tells us one by one they left, convicted by their own conscious--conscience. from the oldest--you know that intrigues me that the oldest one left first. i always thought when you grow older, you have less of a problem with your sin consciousness. it gets worse when you get older. so the oldest one left until the youngest until there was no one left but jesus and that gal. and jesus went to her, she was probably crying and jesus says, "woman, where are those that accuse you?" and for the first time she

looked up with tear-filled eyes and says, "no man, lord." than he says, "neither do i condemn you. go and sin no more." now listen, listen, the church has it backwards. the church says, "go and sin no more first, then we won't condemn you." but jesus gave her the gift of no condemnation which empowered her to go and sin no more. if we'll preach no condemnation, people will be empowered to go and sin no more. hallelujah! what a savior. you know, i believe as that lady left with all the burden of sin rolled away from her shoulders, jesus smiled and says, "father, another one set to my account, which he'll pay at the cross." because, you see, the reason why there is no condemnation for you and i today, wonderful as that

truth is, it's not because god has gone soft on sin. god is holy. he's thrice holy. he's a wonderful god, but he's a holy god. but every sin was borne in the body of jesus and when he hung there on the cross, he took your sins and my sins. and god's holiness unleashed his fury and holy indignation and wrath against all lawlessness, against all sins and stroke after stroke of the curse of lawlessness fell on jesus, he exhausted all of god's judgment and cried, "it is finished!" hallelujah! hallelujah! now--oh, go on, help yourself.

give him praise. and now the reason why there is, present tense, now no condemnation for you and i even when we sin is not because god has gone soft. it is because god's holiness cannot punish the same sin twice. the law of double jeopardy. when you sin, look to the cross and say, "lord, thank you it's paid for." if you don't do that, something inside you, your dna is very smart. when you condemn yourself, it seems like the cells of your body say, "he wants to condemn himself. he wants to hurt himself. let's create a disease." doctors call it psychosomatic, autoimmune disorders when your

body fights against itself. people are sick today not because of sin. sin is taken care of. people are sick because of condemnation. condemnation kills. so when you sin, what do you do? look away from self to the cross and say, "father, thank you there is my judgment, there is my beating." and all the cells in your body go, "peace boys, relax. the price is paid. it's finished." it is finished! hallelujah! it is well. and you are on your way to wholeness recovery, life and health. >> announcer: as a thank you for your gift of any amount this month, our ministry would like to bless you with joseph's latest four-cd audio series, "discover god's never-ending supply." let this resource show you god's heart of love for you and his desire to supply all your needs. be empowered to step into

'way. walk. walk. alex: dogs and sheepherding have been around for thousands of years, teaching canines mental and physical discipline. karen moureaux: most people think that you have to have sheep to do herding. and you really don't. you can come out

and take lessons and just give your dog a job. and it can be any breed. we have all breeds coming out for herding lessons-- border collies, german shepherds, australian shepherds, corgis--you name it. if it's a herding breed, it can come out here and use its natural instinct and have a good time. woman: 'way. lie. walk. karen: yeah. the dogs that come out, the owners originally come out looking for something fun for their dogs to do. and then a great majority of them get bitten by the herding bug. and then they start looking into what else they can do with this sport. and they get hooked, and they start going to herding competitions. and even in the l.a. area, there's, you know, herding competitions every few months. robin elliot: when i first get a dog that comes out for herding, we instinct-test them. we put them on sheep to see what their natural instincts are. so, we acquaint them with sheep, see what their drive is like, their herding abilities are like. and we just get them acquainted with sheep the very first time. and if your dog shows that they have

all this natural ability to work stock, then we continue working them in a small area so that they gain that confidence where they can catch the sheep. what they're wanting to do--which, you have a lot of dogs that are wanting to chase cars, or why they want to chase a ball--it's because they want to stop that action. so, when they're in here on sheep, and the sheep are trying to get away, they want to get to that head to stop that action and bring them back to you. and that's what their natural abilities are. that's what herding is. karen: in the very beginning classes, the trainer will take the dog into the round pen. and this is a round pen. it's about 60 feet diameter. and we use a round pen first, so there's no corners where the sheep can get stuck. and then also, we have a small pen so that the trainer can protect the sheep from the dogs that are a little overzealous in the beginning. robin: he is just lovely right off the bat. here we go. pick him up right on the pike, just straight on the money. sometimes, dogs catch on the very first day. sometimes, it takes a few months. every dog, just like people, their

personalities are so different. but it's, uh, very different. so, some dogs are instantly-- the very first time, they're, boom, right on it, bringing you sheep instantly all by themselves with no help. and it really doesn't matter what breed of dog you have, as long as they have that herding ability. a lot of these dogs were bred hundreds of years ago to be herding dogs. rottweilers were actually bred to drive cattle to market. and then they would put the money around their neck on the way home to protect that purse. so, those were the actual original herding breeds, which people think are odd when they see-- especially if you see a rottweiler herding a duck, you think that's pretty funny. but actually, they're very talented at it and very finessey at it. so, if i had a herd of ducks, you would need a dog to bring them in for you. pssht. hey. so, what we've-- ah! ah! ah! what we're gonna ask her to do is go bring us these sheep nicely. gave her a little scold there, 'cause what she did wasn't so nice. she didn't go up and ask them nicely. she was a little rough there. so, i just reminded her, let's be a little nicer to our sheep. our whole goal is to make the sheep happy so that when we ask this dog to bring us the sheep, the sheep are happy.

lie down. walk. walk. lie down. 'way. 'way. so, we can put these sheep wherever we want... and the dog just uses their natural abilities to find that balance point--which is in the eye of the stock--to bring them straight to me... so, that if i was on my front porch, and a mile out, i had 100 head of sheep, then i would want her to go get them for me while i sat and had coffee. so, i would just give her a command--pssht, pssht. she would go out, get the sheep, and bring them to me. as we progress and they learn that this is how we talk to sheep, then we start putting commands to it-- lie down. walk. that ask for certain behaviors, which is 'way--that means "go right." lie down. lie down in herding doesn't mean "lie down." it just means "stop." come-bye. that's "left." lie down. walk. walk is

"walk up." lie down. look back. look. i just asked her to look for more sheep. and she's looking at those other ones out there, but she's no dummy. she knows there's a fence there and she can't get them. lie down. and then you progress up to whistles. so, we ask for a right. [ascending whistles] [high-pitched whistle] and stop. [descending whistles] here's left. [high-pitched descending whistles] and that's walk up. and how they're able to do this is, they're using their eye to control the stock. so, what she's doing is, she's trying to get in the eye of the sheep and make them come to us...walk. just by putting pressure on 'em. lie down. come. see? how that sheep is moving off, she has to catch its eye to get 'em to hold still. after we learn the small area and they've learned that "ok, i release my pressure. i go around. i catch sheep. i bring them to you," we go to a larger

area to do that, and we progress into areas where they're working a mile away, 2 miles away from you, bringing you stock without you helping at all. it normally takes in herding, depending on the dog, anywhere from 6 months to 3 years to get completely trained. it just depends, again, on how talented the person is, how well they absorb it, and the talent in your dog. laura pryse: i bought brazen here to let her try herding. she's a 3-year old border collie--an agility dog. and she does really well in agility, but she doesn't have the same love for it that she does for herding things. at home, she tends to want to herd the cars, the cat, my other dog. so, i really wanted to do something for her that she would enjoy. so, i wanted to bring her up here to a place where she could experience herding in a safe environment. robin: there are so many different varied reasons that people get into herding. one of the first and foremost is, it's the most challenging sport on the planet. i don't think people actually realize that. 'cause we're taking a predator, and

we're gonna control a prey animal completely hands-off. so, i challenge anybody to show me a more challenging sport than sheepdog herding. but it's also the most rewarding, because i can think it, and my dog will go do it. and i can't find that in a human. laura: so far, we are very happy with robin. this is our first time in the ring in about a year and a half. it really helps her mentally to unwind, and it's really what she was bred to do. it makes her a much happier dog to live with. karen: the dogs really seem to like the herding. it's a natural instinct for them, and it's really what they were bred to do. and they love it. robin: and that's a nice, cool reward for a job well done. alex: here's a helpful training tip for all dog owners. janine pierce: dogs are pack animals and don't naturally like to be left alone. even if you have other dogs, it's important to teach them that

it's ok to be alone sometimes. for some dogs, you might have to start slowly, by putting them behind the baby gate and giving them a nice chew toy while you just sit on the other side. it's also important to make sure that your dog knows that when you leave the home, you're gonna come back, so they don't have to be worried about it. we call this "separation anxiety." and one of the best ways to make sure your dog doesn't get separation anxiety is to be very calm when you leave the house and to be nice and calm when you come home, to make it so that it's not such an exciting time for the dog. sometimes this is hard to do because your dog will be happier to see you than anybody else in your family. when you first come home, ignore your dog for a few minutes, and then go and say hello to him. man: ♪ my friend where'd you get that silly grin?

man: ♪ i'm a bundle of joy with a pedigree... ♪ karen: border collies are part of the herding group, and they're bred to do herding. and they've also become really popular with the people that do dog sports, whether it be agility, herding, frisbee, dock diving, flyball. they're really highly driven, active dogs. so, they're good for a family that has probably older kids--not little kids, because you see the herding instinct come in when you have little kids, and they're heeling and nipping at the kids. and a lot of dogs are placed into rescue because of that. but they're great dogs for people with older kids or adults that don't have kids that want an active companion that they can commit some time to to get the dog enough exercise so that it doesn't become disruptive. border collies live to between 12 and 15 years. they're active dogs, and they stay active throughout their life. so, if you come across an older dog

that's looking for a home that's 7 or 8 years old, some dogs would be considered old, but border collies are really in the prime of their life, and they've got plenty of good, active years ahead of them. [barking] the traditional border collie is black and white. but today, we've seen red and white, red tri, blue merle, black tri. and those are all variations of the traditional black-and-white border collie that most people associate with the movie "babe." woman: pssht! get! karen: and you can really pick a dog that appeals to you but, um, stay with the breed.
