This unique show is a brand new talent competition features contestants from all over the world in every different genre. The acts audition for a panel of judges and a ‘wall’ of 50 experts in all areas of entertainment. If a contestant scores 75 or above, then they will move on to the next round. This one-of-a-kind show is bringing an amazing blend of talent to the stage and it’s truly incredible. Vonnie Lopez grew up in Louisiana as the daughter of a preacher. Her entire family had a talent for music, but it seemed that Vonnie had not been given that gift. She felt out of place and would pray for the ability to sing. She shared her story with CBS Local saying, “I just started praying, every single day I would pray to God to be able to sing with my family.” At the age of 14, her prayers were answered and she belted out a song at youth service with perfect pitch. From that moment on, she was going to sing to anyone that would listen. Now, she’s taking her talents to the big stage with an incredible performance of Andrae Couch’s “My Tribute (To God Be The Glory).” Her soul-filled song touched every single judge and they all gave her rave reviews. Vonnie took everyone to church and it’s a moment that you don’t want to miss. I can’t wait to see what she performs next.

It was a moment full of tears when 4 brothers step in for their late father at their sister’s wedding. A woman’s wedding day is full of love and laughter. It is the momentous day that she and her husband commit themselves to one another in front of their family and the Lord. Sometimes, there are happy tears and sometimes, there are tears of sadness as we mourn those who cannot be there. This bride’s father passed away before her wedding, so her brothers decided to stand in and take care of their sister. During the reception, the new bride traditionally dances with her father. At this particular wedding, the four brothers took turns dancing with the tear-filled sister to their favorite childhood song. As soon as the music to Disney’s ‘Beauty And The Beast’ starts to play, the tears start flowing from everyone. “Tale as old as time True as it can be Barely even friends Then somebody bends Unexpectedly” Even though this father could not be there in person, I just know that he’s smiling from Heaven watching his family. Who else is wiping away a tear or two? Colossians 3:14-17 “14 And over all these virtues put on love, which binds them all together in perfect unity. 15 Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, since as members of one body you were called to peace. And be thankful. 16Let the message of Christ dwell among you richly as you teach and admonish one another with all wisdom through psalms, hymns, and songs from the Spirit, singing to God with gratitude in your hearts. 17And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.”

A South Carolina teacher credits God when she helps a student save his father’s life after finding the boy biking down a busy highway. Keller Sutherland is a first-grade teacher at Ellen Woodside Elementary in Greenville County, South Carolina. She was driving home when she noticed a young boy riding his bike down a busy highway. When she turned her car around, that’s when she realized that the young boy was one of her former students. 7-year-old Cameron was trying to get help for his diabetic father who had collapsed at home. He tried to dial 911, but didn’t know the passcode on his father’s phone and none of his neighbors answered the door. Cameron did the only thing he could think of and climbed on his bike to ride the 5-mile journey to his grandmother’s house. It was during that trek that Keller spotted Cameron and two other gentlemen also stopped to help. They called emergency services who were able to get to Cameron’s house and assist his father. This kind teacher knew that God placed her in the right place at the right time so that she would be able to help young Cameron. In fact, Keller was having a rough day at work before this situation. “God just showed up in an amazing way. On a day when I felt I wasn't making an impact, He just intervened and placed me where I needed to be for Cameron.” What a powerful statement from this kind-hearted teacher. And Cameron and his father are forever grateful for her assistance in their time of need.

Acclaimed Christian musician and producer, Don Moen teams up with Loyiso Bala for an incredible rendition of the classic hymn ‘How Great Thou Art.’ This hymn is always a blessing to hear and this duo uses their talented vocals to give all the praise to the Lord. “O Lord, my God, when I in awesome wonder Consider all the worlds Thy Hands have made I see the stars, I hear the rolling thunder Thy power throughout the universe displayed” Our Lord is mighty and great.

A newborn baby rescued from a storm drain is recovering at a hospital in South Africa. It was a heartbreaking moment passerbys in Durban, South Africa heard a baby’s cries coming from a storm drain. That’s when one of the strangers climbed into the drain and saw the newborn baby girl. First responders were quickly called to the scene to assist with her removal which involved breaking into the drain with a hammer and chisel. This miraculous video shows the baby girl being removed from the storm drain and carried to safety. She was immediately rushed to the hospital where doctors assessed her condition. The newborn still had her umbilical cord attached, so doctors estimate she was no more than three days old. And despite the traumatic conditions, the infant only sustained minor injuries. Authorities do not know who her parents are but an investigation is currently underway. Children are a gift from God and it’s so upsetting to know that someone would toss their baby in a storm drain, like a piece of trash. Thankfully, these bystanders stepped in and helped this newborn get to safety. We are praying for this sweet, innocent baby girl. Psalm 127: 3-5 “Behold, children are a heritage from the LORD, the fruit of the womb a reward. Like arrows in the hand of a warrior are the children of one's youth. Blessed is the man who fills his quiver with them! He shall not be put to shame when he speaks with his enemies in the gate.”

It was a moment full of song and praise when these nuns dance to Queen’s iconic song ‘We Will Rock You.’ When these women of God all gathered around tables together, I thought it was just going to be a time of fellowship and conversation. I had no idea that they were going to let loose in the most incredible way. It all starts when someone turns on the stereo and Queen begins to play. A seated nun bangs on the table, in tune with the beat. Then, the camera pans to other women standing at the front of the room. They are dancing along to this unlikely tune and having a great time. More of the nuns start to clap along and sing the famous lyrics. But the biggest surprise of all was when one nun stepped into the middle of the room for the guitar solo. And she definitely nailed every single note. Normally, when we think of nuns, images of stoic women with somber looks on their faces come to mind. I definitely don’t think of ladies listening to rock music. But who says that women of God can’t have variety in their choice of music? It is obvious that they were having a blast during this entire song and so was I! What did you think of this rock number? Psalm 149:3-4 “3 Let them praise his name with dancing and make music to him with timbrel and harp. 4 For the LORD takes delight in his people; he crowns the humble with victory.”

It was a tearjerker captured on camera when this woman sings the classic hymn ‘Amazing Grace’ to dying husband. Just days before he passed away, Danielle Gibson beautifully sang the touching words to her husband, Tony, as he gazed at her from his hospital bed. “Amazing Grace, How sweet the sound That saved a wretch like me I once was lost, but now am found T'was blind but now I see T'was Grace that taught my heart to fear And Grace, my fears relieved How precious did that grace appear The hour I first believed” Tony battled Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease, a rare and incurable disorder that can cause dementia, limited mobility and memory issues. Danielle describes the heartbreaking disease as the human form of mad-cow disease. The condition came on quickly and, within a year, Tony was placed in an assisted living facility. Near the end, not much could calm him down. But during this special moment, Danielle started to sing ‘Amazing Grace’ and Tony could not take his eyes off of her. Danielle said that this was his favorite hymn. Sadly, Tony passed away just a few days after this video was taken, leaving behind his wife and four daughters. Danielle hopes that by sharing this video and Tony’s story, that more recognition will be placed on Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease and finding a cure. We will continue to keep this family in our prayers as they weather this difficult storm. Revelation 21:4 “He will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and death shall be no more, neither shall there be mourning, nor crying, nor pain anymore, for the former things have passed away.”

It was a terrifying moment when this man fell on the ice during a hockey game and had no pulse for 5 minutes. For Jib Street, hockey is a way of life. He has been playing the game since he was a child and showed no signs of stopping. But during a recent game in Pineville, North Carolina, Jib had a moment that changed his life. While skating around the rink, he suddenly dropped to the ground while suffering from cardiac arrest. He had no pulse for 5 minutes, but that’s when something miraculous happened. One of the other hockey players is an emergency room doctor and he rushed to Jib’s side. Dr. Craig Bryant started CPR on Jib and others skaters hurried to call an ambulance. Finally, they located an AED machine at the rink and the doctor used the device. Jib is extremely grateful for everyone’s help during his time of need, especially having a doctor on hand. “That's the miracle. I'm skating with an emergency room doctor. This is my guardian angel.” God definitely put Dr. Bryant in the right place at the right time. Now, Jib is out of the hospital and on the road to recovery.

Just watch this sweet moment when Jib hands over a hockey jersey signed by the iconic athlete, Wayne Gretzky. What an incredible gift to express all that gratitude.

Zephaniah 3:17-18 (TLB)

It was an incredible moment captured on camera when firefighters revived a dog from a house fire with CPR. There’s no doubt in my mind that when God placed animals on this Earth, He truly knew what He was doing. This is especially true for dogs, in particular. These furry friends that ultimately become our pets definitely hold a very special place in our hearts. They become a part of our family and it’s always a heartwarming relationship to witness. Dogs are known for being loyal and giving us unconditional love. In return, we are tasked with keeping them safe and provided for. And that’s exactly what the firefighters with the Sacramento Metropolitan Fire District did recently. While battling a house fire, they rescued an unresponsive dog from one of the bedrooms. After removing the animal from the house, these firefighters administered oxygen and CPR to the poor pup. As they continued with compression after compression, I was starting to get nervous for the lifeless dog. But finally, he started to move and even tried to jump out of the first responder’s arms. This situation could have had a very different outcome but this fire department was equipped with the knowledge to save him. God bless these firefighters and their determination in a situation like this. Because of their quick-thinking skills and action, this pup was given a new chance at life. What an amazing moment all captured on camera. Who else was cheering when the firefighters got this furry fellow breathing again?
