It is absolutely incredible what the saints are doing as they represent our Lord Jesus at the gates of hell (local abortion mills) in the streets of Connecticut.  They loose on earth the power of God (Matthew 18:18)when they show up for battle through their active repentance on the streets, and God looses from heaven wonderful miracles that are almost impossible to describe.

Operation Save America- CT
 
January 2012- 99 babies were killed
(by surgical abortions on the days we were in Bridgeport & New Haven)
2189 babies saved since 1990, 396 salvations!
 
4 babies were saved in Bridgeport!
1 salvation in Bridgeport!
3 saved babies were born this month in Bridgeport! 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 
 
Another miracle baby born this month to Florida and Arturo at St. Vincent Hospital!
She weigh 7 lbs. and her name is “Abigail”. She has three sisters that love her
so much!! Florida didn’t have a thing for this baby since she is not working and her
boyfriend is laid off from work. We were able to give them all the layettes, diapers, food card, and
baby equipment that she needed. We thank God for all those who contribute to this ministry
so that we can meet the needs of these moms!! The baby’s father could not stop thanking us for
all the help that was provided. Our next step is going to disciple them for Christ and find a
Spanish church in their area.“He who gives to the poor lends to the Lord, and He will reward him for what he has done.” Proverbs 19:17
 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 
We are so proud of Dominique and her baby King that is now 1 1/2 yrs. old and potty trained already!
She is a wonderful mother and the baby’s father Lou is helping her immensely since she is going to
college to finish her degree.She spoke at the Memorial Service on Saturday and she has grown so much
in Christ! I have been mentoring her and Lou through their difficulties during her pregnancy and after. She
is a very happy mother and wants to help young people to stay abstinence till marriage. She has learned a
valuable lesson and she wants to share it with others! We are so proud of her and wishing her God’s 
blessing on her studies!

We had a Roe V Wade Memorial remembering the 39 years of baby killing in our community and in our nation. The mounted police were there to keep everyone safe. There were between 150-200  for the pro-life event and four for the pro-abortion side. Al Vazquez was the emcee, Pastor Victor Ronquillo from my church, Calvary Life, did the worship. We had a bagpiper lead the funeral procession and Kelly, Hannah, Daniel and Kameron were the pallbearers. We had many pastors present, three spoke (Miller, Loomer, Ronquillo). We also had state senator TR Rowe, Attorney Michael DePrimo and keynote speaker Peter Wolfgang from the CT Family Institute. Amber Trawick, children’s ministry leader from Promiseland Church in West Haven gave an exhortation. Kelly Vazquez and Colbi Rowland gave testimony to how being in this ministry has greatly affected their lives for the glory of God. Dominique gave an awesome testimomy too! All the speakers were great and we are so appreciative that they took time to come out and lift up the gospel of Jesus Christ and share what is going on in pro-life in their area of expertise. The weather was pretty good compared to years past when we froze.

Please join us as we reach out to those who find themselves where they should not be. If not now? then when? If not us? then who? If not here? then where? We will be here until the killing stops – every Tuesday, Friday and Saturday, 8 AM- 10 AM at 3787 Main St Bridgeport.  Jesus is the head of the Church, we are the Body. We are His mouthpiece, His hands, His feet on the earth to do His work. There’s nothing better than to co-labor with God. Just show up and see what He will do.
 
For the Least of These,
Marilyn Carroll & Carmen Vazquez
 

Several hundred folks gathered in front of Bridgeport, Connecticut’s last remaining abortion mill to remember and repent of the 39 years of decriminalized child killing in America.  This past Saturday, January 28, 2012, the theology of the church house became biography in the streets of Bridgeport, as the saints reconsecrated themselves to the task of speaking for those who cannot speak for themselves.  Soon, very soon, abortion will come to and end in Bridgeport, Connecticut.  The gates of hell cannot prevail against God’s prevailing Church.  It doesn’t matter who is President – our God reigns!

Here is more great information on Ken and Jo Scott and God’s intervention on their behalf against the tyranny of our own federal government.

Here’s the story via the thomasmooresociety.org website.

Flip

Ken Scott, with the help of Almighty God and some tremendous lawyering, won the day in a federal court hearing in Denver, Colorado, this past Friday, January 27, 2012,  as District Judge Philip Brimmer rejected an attempt by the federal government to grant Planned Parenthood preliminary injunctive relief from Ken Scott.  This Preliminary Injunctive Hearing was meant to keep Ken outside a 25’ imaginary bubble from the entrance of the Planned Parenthood of the Rock Mountains abortion mill.

God showed up and showed off at this blatantly unconstitutional attempt by our own federal government to remove the gospel of Christ from the gates of hell – local abortion mills across this country.

Judge Declares Ken Scott a “Sensible Man”

Ken and Jo on ladder
Ken and Jo Scott

Thursday January 26th, U.S. District Judge Philip Brimmer denied the Justice Department’s allegation that Kenneth Scott’s sidewalk counseling efforts at Planned Parenthood in Denver make it “unreasonably difficult” for patients and employees to get to the clinic.  If the Justice Department had proven that Mr. Scott was guilty of their charges, he would have been saddled with a preliminary injunction that would keep him 25 feet from the driveway.  Instead, Judge Brimmer, stated that Mr. Scott is a “sensible man” as he ruled against the preliminary injunction in the U.S. vs. Kenneth Scott FACE civil lawsuit.

Mike Wagner, head security guard for Planned Parenthood of the Rocky Mountains appears in a video that the government produced as evidence against Scott.  The video shows Kenneth handing a client an information packet and Wagner driving up behind the vehicle stopped in the driveway.  Mr. Wagner testified that he felt “frightened and concerned” while he waited ten seconds to get into the driveway.  No police report was filed.  Wagner carries a gun, he has extensive military training and he’s a former police officer.  He is now the head of security for the entire Rocky Mountain region Planned Parenthoods.  Unless Mr. Wagner is deathly afraid of paper cuts, it makes one wonder why an abortion client receiving an information packet would cause him to panic.  Even Judge Brimmer, while explaining his ruling expressed his doubt in the former police officer’s credibility.  For these reasons, Mike Wagner is the reluctant recipient of “Best Hostile Witness of Day” award. 

When questioned by Scott’s lawyer, Mike Wagner said he wasn’t aware of any fender-benders caused by Scott.  Ironically, there was quite a wipe out two years ago during a snow storm as Mr. Wagner raced around the corner at Planned Parenthood and plowed into two cars.  Both of the cars belonged to pro-lifers who were praying across the street from the abortion facility. 

Ken Scott’s witnesses were exemplary.  Binette Bah, in particular, captured the attention of the court when she and her four year old daughter entered the room to testify.  Adorable little Binette was heading to the witness stand with her mom and had to be directed to sit in the gallery. The entire courtroom watched as she stood in her seat to see mommy. 

On the witness stand Binette was asked how she knew Ken Scott.  “I met Ken Scott at Planned Parenthood the day I went for an abortion.”  Before Binette finished her testimony she instructed the people in the courtroom to look at her daughter and said, “If it weren’t for Ken Scott my daughter would not be here today.”  When Binette left the witness stand little Binette ran to her mom and hugged her.  It was a sweet sight to behold.

The process of preparing for the injunction hearing and the subsequent $10,000 Federal FACE law suit coming later this year has been grueling for both Kenneth and his attorneys.  The Federal Government has a battery of lawyers working to protect the abortion industry in Colorado from the truth.  If not for the diligent, self-sacrificing work of Rebecca Messall, along with Peter Breen and Tom Brejcha of the Thomas More Society out of Chicago, the outcome would have been very different. 

The left slanted media in Colorado invariably portrays the pro-life movement in the worst possible light. But that is not always the case.

For the past decade, KPOF, a local Denver Christian radio station, has consistently invited Ken and Jo Scott to their program.  Today, Roy Henchke and Denise Washington Blomberg told Ken that since they have been broadcasting the events at the abortion mill their listeners view the pro-life ministry differently than they did in the past.  The audience has invested their prayers in the ministry and they are genuinely concerned about the welfare of the sidewalk counselors.  No longer does the Christian community view the pro-lifers at the abortion mills as judgmental, aggressive or hateful.  KPOF is changing the world for Jesus and helping to save the lives of innocent baby boys and girls while providing an important outlet for the truth to be shared. 

The U.S. Justice Department under Barack Obama is targeting free speech outside of abortion mills in at least seven states.  In doing so they are jeopardizing the lives of thousands of children and their moms. Do not be deceived, free speech everywhere is at risk when the government decides who is allowed to speak and where that government approved speech takes place.  Please pray for our leaders, especially President Barack Obama and the head of the Justice Department, Eric Holder, to come to know our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

Dear Champion of the Lord and the Preborn, 



 

Today, two mailers were sent out to the five states that comprise the States of Refuge campaign. One was sent to every State Representative in Arkansas, Mississippi, North Dakota, Sout Dakota, and Wyoming. They are receiving a cover letter and a brochure articulating the States of Refuge vision and mission. The other mailer is being sent to 950 churches in the five counties that have the one remaining abortion mill defiling their land. They will receive a copy of the powerful DVD Abortion Matrix, cover letter, and brochure. Please pray that the Lord will use these materials to convince the spiritual and civil leaders to join this righteous effort to cleanse the land of this grave evil in Jesus’ name! 

 Church Letter

Dear Christian Servant,

 The Lord richly bless you!  We pray this communication finds you well, always abounding in the love and work of our Lord.  Enclosed is a copy of a powerful documentary film called the Abortion Matrix and a brochure promoting a national campaign called the States of Refuge.  

These materials are being sent to churches in five different states; each of which has only one remaining abortion mill left within its borders.  We believe that abortion will come to an end in America when the Church of Jesus Christ makes up her mind it will come to an end – and not one second sooner.  We are asking you to consider this grave evil that threatens our national survival.  We are asking you to join with us in making your state the first abortion free state in America.  

 The gates of hell cannot prevail against the Church of Jesus Christ.  When we cry out to God in repentance (2 Chronicles 7:14) we give Him an opportunity to have mercy, forgive our sin, and heal our land.  Ours is a call to stand in the gap and make up the hedge before our nation collapses under the weight of her own sin.

The participating ministries, listed on the right, have sought the Lord, weighed this vision before Him, and believe the time has come for its implementation.  We pray you will see its value as well and support the work that will potentially liberate your state from the blight of blood guiltiness.

Most of us are pastors of local congregations or traveling ministers who value and recognize the authority of the local church.  We seek to work through God’s church for His glory and the benefit of the little ones made in His image. We humbly seek your amen, covering, and blessing as we are determined to spend and be spent in the battle for men’s souls, the lives of children, and for the future of our nation.

We are seeking a peg in the Temple as it were; to rest this vision in each state where the abortion industry at its weakest point.  There is absolutely no way that the abortion industry can long continue in your state when the theology of the church house becomes biography at the gates of hell.  We know this to be true.  In 1991, the zenith of the abortion movement, there were over 2,000 free standing abortion mills in America.  Today, there are 713.  The battle is being won as simple Christians live out their faith in the streets.  We win when we give our God an opportunity to show up and show off!

We will employ only Biblical principles and stand upon God’s Word alone.  Then we will have church in the streets at the exposed places in our state.  We will fast, pray, praise, worship, proclaim, provide, and protect, at the very place where God’s precious image bearers are being slaughtered – the local abortion mill.  In the truest sense we will be living out our repentance in Godly sorrow that leads to life.

Our righteous goal is to return to Almighty God and His Commandments that He may once again make America “a city of a hill” and “a light to the nations.”  If you find any merit in this opportunity or have any questions do not hesitate to contact us.  We know God has friends in every city.  Men that understand the times and know what Israel (the Church) should do.

You are the brothers we are looking to partner with to rescue those unjustly sentenced to death.  To speak for those who cannot speak for themselves.  We pray that we can come together for a time such as this to do justice, love mercy, and walk humbly with our God (Micah 6:8).

Government Letter    

  Dear Honorable Civil Servant,

The Lord richly bless you! Find enclosed a brochure announcing a new national campaign to liberate America from the blood guiltiness that is defiling our beloved land. It is called the States of Refuge, Operation: First Abortion Free States. You, along with every other Representative that serves in your state, are receiving this communiqué. The reason has profound implications. You serve civilly in a state that has one abortion mill remaining that kills babies in the womb and sheds innocent blood.

Abortion is a national tragedy that has invoked the just wrath of God upon our beleaguered nation. Isaiah 59:14 accurately depicts our precarious state, “Justice is turned back, and righteousness stands afar off; (Keep in mind that it is righteousness that exalts a nation) for truth has fallen in the street, and equity cannot enter.” George Mason, Founding Father, when contending against the abomination of slavery in his day warned, “As nations cannot be rewarded or punished in the next world, they must be in this. By an inevitable chain of causes and effects, Providence punishes national sins by national calamities.”

The Civil War was the fulfillment of his warning. It cost our nation 630,000 men. Our nation’s blood, treasure, and flower of our youth were crushed by this devastating conflict. This was the penalty enacted for violating the liberty clause in the Declaration of Independence. We took away the right to liberty from our black brothers and sisters and our nation was harshly judged. What do you think the toll will be when God Almighty demands an accounting for all the innocent blood that America has shed since the infamous Roe vs. Wade Decision?

Our nation, with the blessing of the state and the silent consent of the church, have murdered close to sixty million children made in the image of God. We have denied the most fundamental right of all, the right to life. Every other American right is meaningless, if this right is not protected. Truly, the Civil War may be a tame response from heaven when we consider the enormity between denying liberties as compared to denying life. In fact, President Lincoln stressed, “Those who deny freedom to others, deserve it not for themselves.” Will the same hold true for Americans who deny life to their own children? Are we forfeiting the life of our nation in order to continue the slaughter of our posterity?

Each day we read in the headlines the dire predicaments that threaten our national survival. There is a direct connection between our spiritual and moral state and the litany of woe overwhelming us today. The Bible teaches that when innocent blood is shed, it cries out for vengeance from the blood-stained ground and rises into the ears of a Holy and Just God (Genesis 4:10 & Rev. 6:9, 10). It pollutes and defiles the land (Numbers 35:33; Psalm 106:38). It can withhold God’s forgiveness from a nation that allows the shedding of innocent blood to continue unabated (2 Kings 24:3, 4).

It defiles God’s sanctuary and profanes His holy name (Leviticus 20:1-4). It provokes God’s anger against His own people. His abhorrence is manifest in such a way that those who hate God’s people rule over them (Psalm 106:37-42). Consider the federal beast currently devouring our freedoms, finances, and future as it relates to this sobering warning. Thus, citizens will be subject to tyranny and unjust laws by which they cannot abide. A fierce and cruel people will attack and commit terroristic acts. God will lift His hand of protection and use enemies to judge nations that commit child sacrifice and shed innocent blood (2 Kings 24:1-4). Consider the rise of Islam in America and weigh how God has dealt with men and nations who allowed this idolatrous act in times past.

Unjust bloodshed will unleash a spirit of violence and murder that will savage a nation. In the case of abortion, we are sowing violence in the womb and are reaping it in our schools, workplaces, churches, and streets. Hosea 4:2b states, “Bloodshed touches bloodshed, it breaks out.” If we do not hate bloodshed, bloodshed will pursue us (Ezekiel 35:6). Violence will grow up like a rod to punish the iniquity of nations that allows innocent blood to be shed (Ezekiel 7:11). If civil government does not bring justice upon those who commit murder, God Himself will judge this sin against Him and this crime against humanity. Therefore, if lawful authorities refuse to exercise justice upon those who commit murder, the penalty passes to the society that tolerates it. Natural disasters, plagues, pestilence, poverty, war, civil strife, and other national catastrophes will visit the iniquity of the land (Leviticus 18). The church and state may fail in their God-ordained responsibilities, but God cannot deny Himself or His holy commands. National sin always leads to national calamity.

The divine calling upon civil government and that which establishes legitimacy before God is to protect life and stop the shedding of innocent blood. President Thomas Jefferson concurred. He stated, “The care of human life and happiness, and not their destruction, is the first and only object of good government.” Abortion destroys human life and thus violates government’s sacred trust. It is one of the toxic roots that are producing the dangerous fruits that are choking the true vine of freedom under our watch.

We can continue to treat the wound of America lightly and seek a political band aid to what ails us or we can do as the Bible commands under these wretched conditions. “If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land (2 Chronicles 7:14).”

The best way to serve our nation and get us back on track is not another governmental program. We have to stop murdering our own children and parading our sin like Sodom. We must repent of these sins, crimes, and abominations. God Himself will restore our fortunes with His blessings if we meet His righteous conditions. God’s word states, “If God be for us, who can be against us (Romans 8:31)?” Conversely, if God is against us, it doesn’t make a difference who is for us.

We pray that you will carefully reflect on this letter and the vision of the brochure. If President Obama and some of the Democratic Party can support the “Occupy” fiasco, how much more should you support a mission that seeks to liberate America from the blood guilt we are staggering under today? Please do everything in your power to shut down the one remaining abortion mill in your state and then make sure your state never allows for such atrocities in the future. Only then can we expect the true hope and change we desperately need in this dark hour of our history.

There is no doubt in my mind that this was one of the most impacting weekends ever in the city of Charlotte as it concerns the gospel of Christ advancing against the gates of hell (local abortion mills) in our city.  A great big shout out to Rusty Thomas, Alex Kendrick, David and Jason Benham, Cities4Life, and all the local pro-life ministries that made this gospel proclamation possible.  The theology of heaven, indeed, descended upon the city of Charlotte and became biography in her streets. ~ Flip

“When the cry of repentance from the Church of Jesus Christ is greater than the cry of innocent blood filling God’s ears, then, and only then, will He be free to hear our prayer, forgive our sin, and heal our land.”  Brother Butch Berget    

 

Roe vs. Wade Memorial Weekend 2012

We experienced a whirlwind event in Charlotte, NC this past weekend. Rev. Flip Benham’s sons, David and Jason, put together a Roe vs. Wade Memorial weekend headed up by Alex Kendrick. Alex and his brother Stephen lead Sherwood Pictures who produced Flywheel, Facing the Giants, Fireproof, and the recent release Courageous. I believe a powerful seed was sown in Charlotte, NC and something of great spiritual significance was birthed that will have a ripple effect throughout our country.

On Friday morning, January 20th, a group of Christians, media and business leaders met for a breakfast sponsored by the Benham Real Estate Group. David Benham and Alex addressed the meeting. There was a powerful challenge issued. Alex related God’s dealings in his life that birthed a dream in his heart to make motion pictures that would pierce the darkness of Hollywood.

He is sold out for the cause of Christ. He is the real deal. He publicly declared that if he did anything to shame the Lord in his position that he wanted the Lord to take him out. The essence of his message could be summed up in the admonishment of the Apostle Paul. 1 Corinthians 9:27 states, “But I discipline my body and keep it under control, lest after preaching to others I myself should be disqualified.”

Roe vs. Wade Memorial Service and States of Refuge Press Conference

 

 

 

Rev. Flip Benham Praying for our Gathering

Friday at noon the saints gathered in downtown Charlotte to participate in the Roe vs. Wade Memorial service and to kick off the new national States of Refuge campaign. Rev. Flip Benham, Alex Kendrick, David Benham, Jeanette Wilson, Ante Pavkovic and I had the privilege to address downtown Charlotte with God’s word.

Brother Flip encouraged the saints with a message that we are winning the battle against the culture of death. He stated:

We believe that now, with the numbers of abortions down by almost 40 percent, the number of abortion mills has dropped almost 65 percent, and the number of doctors doing abortions has also dropped close to 40 percent, we are winning this battle. The time is now for the Church to rise up and wait not for political parties, or the president, or Congress, or the Supreme Court to take care of the issue. It is our responsibility. The gates of hell will not prevail against the Church of Jesus Christ.

Alex Kendrick stated that he was deeply disturbed by the evil of abortion, “It grieves my heart and the heart of God.” He further declared, “Whoever wants the next generation the most will get them!” Does the Church want to save this generation more than the world seeks to murder them? Truly, when the cry of the repentance of the Church is greater than the cry of innocent blood, God will end the American holocaust.

Brother David Benham admonished the saints to take the Gospel of the Kingdom to the gates of hell. He quoted Proverbs 1:20-22:

Wisdom cries without; she utters her voice in the streets: She cries in the chief place of concourse, in the openings of the gates: in the city she utters her words, saying, How long, you simple ones, will you love simplicity? And the scorners delight in their scorning, and fools hate knowledge?

Jeanette Wilson shared powerful testimonies of lives spared and souls saved at the three abortion mills in Charlotte. Brother Ante shared how God opened his eyes to see how God was using Operation Save America to expose the hidden powers of darkness in our nation. Satan is overt in other nations, but he is stealth in America. Satan keeps his cool in the Church of America and convinces most in our society that he doesn’t exist, but when the saints confront abortion, homosexuality, and Islam, demons manifest. For him, this was the clearest sign that Operation Save America was exercising true biblical Christianity and he had to join the fray.

 

States of Refuge Interview at Roe vs. Wade Memorial Service
 

 

States of Refuge Press Statement

“Come now, and let us reason together, said the LORD: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool” (Isaiah 1:18).

Operation Save America is embarking on a new national vision we are calling States of Refuge, Operation: first Abortion Free States. It is based upon a concept discovered in the Old Testament. The Biblical model we are seeking to apply in America today is the Cities of Refuge. As you may recall, there were six Levitical cities set apart in Israel for refuge in the cases of questionable deaths. These cities were established by God to provide asylum till proof of innocence or guilt against the accused could be established. These cities were also designed to protect Israel from blood guiltiness, lest the avenger of blood pursue and kill innocent people. States of Refuge seeks this same protection in our time.

Through much prayer and research, we have determined that there are five states in America with one death camp, (abortion mill), remaining defiling our beloved land. This represents the abortion industry and the culture of death it has spawned at their weakest and most vulnerable points. It also represents for the Church of Jesus Christ our greatest opportunity for victory in these tumultuous times!

Operation Save America is devoting this next year to apply our prayers, labor and resources in these five states, which are Arkansas, Mississippi, North Dakota, South Dakota, and Wyoming. It is our blessed hope that God will honor the faith and efforts of His people and will be pleased to liberate America from blood guilt, starting with these five states.

It is our sincere prayer that when people hear of this vision, it will resonate in their souls. We pray they will add a hearty amen and desire to participate in this glorious opportunity to defeat this grave evil in our day.

We are calling upon the Church to join this effort. God’s word states, “If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.” May the States of Refuge carry this mandate and may God be pleased to heal our wounded land in Jesus’ mighty name!

 

Cities4Life Banquet

 

 

Alex Kendrick was the key note speaker at the second Cities4Life banquet. Cities4Life is a vision whose time has come. It seeks to network different aspects of the church, community, medical, and pro-life ministries to create a culture of life that dispossess the culture of death. It seeks to marry the prophetic, front line ministry presenting the gospel of the kingdom at the gates of hell with supportive, mercy ministries.

About 750 folks came out to be challenged with this powerful mission. Church, pro-life, business, and cultural leaders were all in attendance. I believe their lives and the city of Charlotte will never be the same again. I highly recommend their website, http://cities4life.org and their Christian/pro-life model for cities to emulate throughout our nation.

 

Taking it to the Streets

 

 

Shantelle and Jose chose life for their baby after seeing the sonogram of their baby in the incredible sonogram RV.

At the end of the Cities4Life banquet, a call was issued to go to the Latrobe abortion mill. 139 people answered the call and showed up the next morning in the freezing rain. The death camp did not know what hit them. The Kingdom of God was forcefully advanced against the culture of death. A mobile sonogram unit, tents, signs, banners, sound system and most importantly, the love and truth of Christ was made manifest to destroy the works of the devil.

For many, it was the first time they came to an abortion mill to minister the gospel of Jesus Christ. I suspect it will not be their last. God opened eyes and broke hearts as the gospel went forth and spared children from death and saved souls from sin. There were about four children saved and one young man surrendered his life to the Lordship of Jesus Christ. It was glorious!

 

Special Prayer Request

 

 

 

Alex Kendrick and I in downtown Charlotte, NC kicking off States of Refuge Campaign at the Roe vs. Wade Memorial Service.

I will conclude this report with a special prayer request. Please pray for Alex and Stephen Kendrick. For Alex, it was his first time going to an abortion mill as well. His heart was plowed. He strikes me as a man that will obey the Lord, no matter the cost. If God reveals His will, I believe Alex will do his best to follow. Perhaps, God will call him to utilize his considerable talent and treasure to “Face the Giants” destroying our nation in Jesus’ name!

The vision and mission is going forth.  This is the latest headline.  Please continue to saturate the States of Refugecampaign in prayer.  The gates of hell cannot prevail against the Church of Jesus Christ!  This is the result of our National Press Conference delivered in Charlotte, North Carolina on January 20, 2012.

As you read this article, keep in mind missionary William Carey’s famous quote, “Expect great things from God; attempt great things for God.”

‘Abomination’ of Abortion to Soon be Eradicated From America, Says Activist

Mon, Jan. 23, 2012 Posted: 10:07 AM EDT


Operation Save America, a pro-life group aiming to bring down the abortion industry in the country, is launching a new campaign called “States of Refuge” with one specific goal in mind – to take advantage of what it says is declining support for abortion and eradicate the practice from the U.S. altogether.

The Rev. Flip Benham, national director of Operation Save America, firmly declared in an interview with The Christian Post: “We are winning the battle. What we want to do is push abortion into a shallow grave, bury it forever, and leave no marker above its place. We want this horrible abomination to be gone, as slavery was 150 years ago.”

Benham is perhaps most well-known for his life-changing encounter with Norma McCorvey, the woman represented as “Jane Roe” of Roe v. Wade. Benham, due to their 1994 meeting, is credited with leading McCorvey to Christ, which led to her becoming a pro-life activist.

The “States of Refuge” campaign plans to shut down the remaining abortion clinics in Arkansas, Mississippi, North Dakota, South Dakota, and Wyoming.  If it succeeds, these will be the first “abortion-free” states in the nation, and Benham believes it will pave the way for other states to go the same way and rid themselves of the practice.

The effort is modeled in part after the “Cities of Refuge” found in the Old Testament of the Bible, as an introduction on the “States of Refuge” website explains:

As you may recall, there were six Levitical cities set apart in Israel for refuge in the cases of questionable deaths. These cities were established by God to provide asylum till proof of innocence or guilt against the accused could be established. These cities were also designed to protect Israel from blood guiltiness, lest the avenger of blood pursue and kill an innocent person.

Benham elaborated on why he feels the tide is turning in America in favor of the pro-life movement.

“We believe that now, with the numbers of abortions down by almost 40 percent, the number of abortion mills has dropped almost 65 percent, and the number of doctors doing abortions has also dropped close to 40 percent, we are winning this battle.  The time is now for the Church to rise up and wait not for political parties, or the president, or Congress, or the Supreme Court to take care of the issue.  It is our responsibility.  The gates of hell will not prevail against the Church of Jesus Christ.”

“Abortion will come to an end, when the Church of Jesus Christ makes up her mind it will end – and not one second sooner,” he added.

When asked about what role the 2012 presidential elections may play in the fight against abortion, the campaign leader said “none.”

“They (politicians) very rarely talk about the over 60 million – one-third of the generation 39 years old or younger – that are dead (due to abortion).  I think this is one of the deadliest wars that we have ever been in.”

“This is THE major issue.  It is why God is draining America’s wealth; it is why 19 guys with box cutters can bring this nation to its knees; it is why there are so many judgments from the hand of God upon this land,” Benham said.  “We are sacrificing His children.”

Addressing what might have been the turning point that changed attitudes toward abortion, the reverend explained: “The zenith of the pro-abortion movement was at the end of 1991.  Abortion steadily increased from Jan. 22, 1973 to 1991 – even after 12 years of Republican Presidents, from Ronald Reagan to George H. Bush.”

“What’s interesting is that what marked the radical downturn of abortions was the election of Bill Clinton.  He did everything for the abortion industry, except build an abortion mill in the West Wing of the White House.  He gave them whatever they wanted – and yet the abortions started going down.  In 1991, there were over 2,000 free-standing abortion mills in the U.S.  Today, there are 678.”

Turning to the potential reasons for such a shift, he noted, “It is not that we passed a piece of legislature to tackle this – abortion is not a political issue.  It is a Gospel issue.  If the Church of Jesus Christ goes out to these abortion mills and gives mothers a real choice, we will win – and we are winning.”

Benham continued, “The majority of people in America now believe that abortion is wrong.  The heart of this nation is changing – and our laws are beginning to reflect that change.  You don’t legislate abortion to be gone – you can’t do it from the top down.  It happens from the bottom up.  It doesn’t matter who is elected president, or if Obama gives himself seven more terms – we will win this battle because we are bringing the Gospel of Christ to the gates of hell where they will not prevail.”

Paul Rondeau, the executive director for the American Life League, which describes itself as the largest grassroots Catholic pro-life education organization in the United States, confirmed to The Christian Post that abortion rates were indeed falling and public opinions were changing.

“There can be no doubt that abortion is a dying industry under siege,” Rondeau commented. “In the last twenty years, as the public learns more and more about the gruesome reality of abortions, surgical and medical abortions have dropped from 1.6 million in 1990 to 1.21 million in 2010.  Planned Parenthood, the largest abortion chain in the word, which receives almost $500 million annually in taxpayer dollars, has bucked this trend.

“Although Planned Parenthood tries to portray itself as a health care provider, it has increased its share of the abortion industry in the Unites States by over 300 percent. From less than 1 in 10, Planned Parenthood now commits more than 1 in 4 of all abortions; 329,445 surgical abortions in 2010 alone.  This helps explain why abortion profiteers like Planned Parenthood are being defunded in growing numbers at the state level.  And, for the first time, Congress has attempted to do the same at the federal level.”

The executive director went on to explain that a 2009 Gallup Poll revealed for the first time that those who self-identify as pro-life are a 51 percent majority in the United States.

On the subject of what role politics might play in the future of abortion in the United States, Rondeau explained, “We do not endorse any political candidates.  However, it is well known that President Obama threatened to shut down the Unites States government rather than cut one penny from Planned Parenthood in the budgeting process.

“His Secretary of HHS (Health and Human Services), Kathleen Sebelius, has threatened states that cut off funding to Planned Parenthood and circumvented others.  She may even be implicated in the criminal destruction of evidence crucial to felony investigations of Planned Parenthood in Kansas while she was governor.  ALL has publicly called for her immediate resignation.”

“This administration has undermined conscious and religious exemptions for medical professionals and required that insurance companies pay for medical abortions.  The anti-life list is long,” he continued.

“Nevertheless, as an orthodox Catholic organization that has fought for 30 years for a culture that respects intrinsic human rights, starting with the most fundamental – the right to life – we look at all the indicators and believe the tide has turned.  We pray that the American electorate will elect a president this year who does not propose that protecting innocent human life is above his pay grade.”

A recent World Health Organization study published in The Lancet looked at global abortion rates form a different angle, revealing that, although global abortions in general have also flattened out (to 28 per 1,000 women a year in 2008), another factor to consider is that the number of abortions carried out in unsafe environments or without trained clinical help has been rising and putting women in great danger.  The global rates rose from 44 percent in 1995 to 49 percent in 2008.

You all remember Pastor Andrew Street.  He gave the abortion mill in Fort Wayne, Indiana, heaven this 39th Memorial of Roe v. Wade as he conducted a press conference outside its doors.  The words he spoke were so full of truth and God’s Holy Spirit that I couldn’t wait for you to read them.

Powerful!   ~ Flip

January 20, 2012
39 years ago this coming Sunday, the Supreme Court of the United States of America de-criminalized this barbarism.  In that infamous Roe vs. Wade decision, they declared open season on defenseless unborn children from conception all the way up to birth!

Imagine standing in your back yard and your precocious 10-year-old son comes up behind you and asks: “Can I kill this?” Your instinctive reaction would be “What is it?” If it’s a mouse, shrew or snake he found in the bushes, not that big of a deal. But if it’s his 3-year-old sister, then you certainly wouldn’t grant permission!

Anyone who would answer the question, “Can I kill this” with a “Yes” without first asking “What?” would be punishable by law if indeed a human being is the object! Yet that is exactly what the Supreme Court did in 1973. Unless you are sure that the object in question is verifiably not-human, you have no grounds to justify it’s murder!

Our own president, Barack Hussien Obama, was posed the question: “When does human life begin?” He parried the question by saying, “That’s above my paygrade.” And yet he has been a staunch and ardent supporter of abortion with his voting record.  If you’re not sure, then you may not kill it!

Since 1973 medical science has done anything but verify the human embryo as non-human. Indeed, the more we have found out about the development of these little ones, the more and more we are forced to admit they are just as much a person, who needs the protection of the law, as any little defenseless child!

Abortion is not a political issue or an academic discussion, it’s a moral evil! Every Thursday morning, here at this abortion mill, 2210 Inwood Drive, Fort Wayne,  the abortionist, George Klopfer, reaches into the private sanctuaries of unborn children.  Without warning and without mercy he rips  their arms and legs from their bodies, rips their heads from their torsos and, if the head is too large, he crushes it and removes it piecemeal.

This is unconscionable! This is intolerable! Yet we as a nation, as a state, and as a city have not only tolerated it, we have approved it! My challenge to the media this morning is not to show those of us who are standing here, but to show the babies – the babies who have been victimized by abortion. You show what has happened when war and  terror strike a country; now show what happens when an abortionist strikes a baby!

We’ve outdone Hitler’s holocaust against the Jews by nearly 9 to 1!  And the greater tragedy is that we’re still counting the bodies.  Just yesterday there were even more mothers who went inside this mill to kill their babies.

God is the God of love and throughout the scriptures He tells His people to stand up for those who cannot stand up for themselves.  All through the scriptures He commands us to speak for those who cannot speak for themselves.  All through the scriptures He says, “Remember the fatherless,” and He’s told us to care for the “least of these.”  He’s said, “Rescue those being led away to death, those staggering toward slaughter, O hold them back! (Prov. 24:11)”  But not only have we not rescued them, as a nation, as a state and as a city, we have killed them!

Now
hear the Word of the Lord:
When you spread out your hands, I will hide My eyes from you; Even though you make many prayers, I will not hear. Your hands are full of blood.   Isaiah 1:15

As a nation, we’re finding out that if you sow murder in the womb, you’re going to reap it in the streets!

We’re gathered here today to repent and to call to repentance.  We’re here today to declare our sorrow for allowing this gross evil to go on. We’re here today to pronounce the obvious:  The loving God of the Bible cannot and will not tolerate this sin! We’re not here to speak about the need for a cleaner clinic, increased regulation and tighter restrictions on abortion. There is but one acceptable solution: the killing must stop! This is not an issue to be relegated to the Congress, the Supreme Court or even the State House.  This is an issue for the citizens of Fort Wayne.  You must repent for allowing the blood of innocent children to course through your streets. You must stand against this evil because the politicians have not and will not until you do! You must speak up and speak out on behalf of those who cannot speak for themselves. God’s will is for an abortion-free Fort Wayne!

But we’re here also to extend redeeming grace.  The end of the story is not yet written for George Klopfer, or for the employees of this murder mill, or for the mothers who are contemplating killing their child.  No, not even for those mothers who have already killed their baby.  Jesus is not willing that any should perish, but that all will come to repentance! 

His Word states:
Wash yourselves, make yourselves clean; Put away the evil of your doings from before My eyes. Cease to do evil, 17 Learn to do good; Seek justice, Rebuke the oppressor; Defend the fatherless, Plead for the widow. 18 ” Come now, and let us reason together,” says the LORD, “Though your sins are like scarlet, They shall be as white as snow; Though they are red like crimson, They shall be as wool!” 
 Isaiah 1:16-18

Nationally, we are in dark and dangerous times.  God is judging our land.  If we continue to tolerate the intolerable sin of abortion, God’s judgment is going to get worse!  We have come to bring this city to the  awareness that God is judging our nation because we kill our young. We’ve come to say, “Enough! It’s time to quit this sin TODAY!”

But personally, grace is still available.  You can be forgiven, cleansed by the blood of Jesus, and set free from all your guilt.  We’ve come to offer help, real help, healing and hope through Jesus Christ.  We’ve come to invite the city of Fort Wayne and its surrounding areas, and especially the pastors and churches in and around this “City of Steeples ” to stand up, stand out and speak against this intolerable wickedness!   Fort Wayne, you may not, you cannot, kill  your children!

“When religion is in a state of quiet and prosperity … the soldiers of the church militant will then tend to forget they are at war. Their ardor slackens and their zeal languishes.”   — William Wilberforce

A Judge in Florida has finally ruled on the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances Law (FACE) and the illegal collusion between the Justice Department (DOJ) and the abortion industry.  This ruling will be a great help to all of us who are faithfully bringing the Gospel of Jesus Christ to the gates of hell (local abortion mills) in the streets of our own cities.  This should be great news to Ken and Jo Scott who are being charged with the very same thing in Denver.
