CIA: Contagious Influencers of America show

Summary: Craig and Samantha Johnson know it's rare to find a church where a family can bring their special needs child because their son Conner has autism. Enter Lakewood Church in Houston, TX. They soon launched Champions Club at the church pastored by Joel Osteen and 300 new families with special needs kids came within just 6 months. Now Champions Club boasts 65 locations worldwide! Host 9-time Emmy winner David Sams and life coach Tim Storey shine the spotlight on special needs. Photos courtesy ChampionsClub.org.
