For more than five decades, CBN's The 700 Club has been more than a television program. The show has also been a witness to history. On April 30, 1975, the world witnessed the Fall of Saigon when the North Vietnamese army captured South Vietnam's capital – effectively ending the war. The following day, CBN's Pat Robertson referenced the historic event during a salvation message on the show. "Some of you right now have been very concerned about the future. You've been wondering what's going to happen in America. You've been disquieted about Vietnam…God has a message for you," Robertson said during the broadcast. Flash forward to 1979 and the Iran Hostage Crisis when, on November 4, militants stormed the U.S. embassy in Tehran and seized 66 Americans. The hostages were held for 444 days. CBN broadcast breaking news of their release on January 20, 1981. Read the full story from CBN's Charlene Aaron: https://cbn.com/news/us/65-years-700-club-and-cbn-news-have-kept-viewers-inspired-in
