Flip Joins Saints in Denver

Flip Joins Saints in Denver

Flip Benham, director of Operation Save America, arrived in Denver, Colorado on May 11, 2005 , to pave the way for OSA's annual national event happening this summer from July 16 th thru the 23 rd . Wednesday evening the Boulee family had a spectacular lasagna dinner for Flip and a few friends. Ed and Ruth Boulee's home is located on a fabulous lake with a view of the majestic Colorado Mountains . After dinner Sara Boulee, an accomplished pianist, serenaded the party with the most beautiful music. Listening to Sara play and taking in the breathtaking view was inspirational.

Pro-lifers in Denver were thrilled to welcome Flip and to introduce him to thirty local pastors at a breakfast Thursday morning. Flip, as we all know, is an impassioned, dynamic speaker for the unborn. After a delicious breakfast, provided for us by the wonderful people of Redeemer Temple , we sat on the edge of our seats while Flip expounded on the plight of the unborn and laid the responsibility of that holocaust squarely in the lap of our church leaders. You could have heard a pin drop in the room. Flip made his point and left no wiggle room for anyone not to be involved. Before we left the room, two buses and seven vans were volunteered and the pastors took our flyers announcing the event this summer to pass out at their home churches. Now, we need to pray that the local Denver churches will respond by marching to the streets in July.

After breakfast Flip was treated to a tour of some of the Denver protest sites planned for this summer's event. Denver is where abortion began in 1967 with Governor Lamm. This July, OSA will confront Denver and the spirit of murder looming over it with the Gospel of Jesus Christ. The saints will make their theology their biography in the streets and the gates of hell will not prevail against them. Praise the Lord.

Thursday afternoon, as an act of good faith, Flip accompanied by Ken Scott and Bob Enyart, along with several other pro-lifers, met with Denver police Commander Debra Dilly and an FBI agent. The meeting went well. Law enforcement is aware that we are a peaceful movement and we now know where we stand with them and we will act accordingly.

A tour of Boulder, better known as, (even to the police) the People's Republic of Boulder was the next stop. Flip was amazed at all the possible locations. One location on the agenda will be abortionist Warren Hern's mill. He is the infamous late term abortionist who not only wrote the book on late term abortions, but an instrument for tearing a child apart, the Hern, is named after him.

Friday began on the street at Planned Parenthood where one precious baby was saved. Friday afternoon Flip did a radio show with Bob Enyart which will be posted at kgov.com later this week. At the conclusion of the show Flip and Jason Troyer were off to produce a promotional DVD for Flip and OSA.

Saturday also began at Planned Parenthood and again one baby was saved. GLORY!! Flip and Ken Scott left the mill early to attend the homosexual marriage summit being held at the Denver Convention Center. It was a long morning of intelligence gathering and silent praying for the lost. After the convention, Flip traveled to Colorado Springs, an hour and a half away, to do a radio show with Pastor Kevin Swanson; then a quick trip back for an evening meeting with local pro-lifers.

Sunday was a day of worship and praise along with a strong pro-life message from Flip at Denver Bible Church.

Nothing ever goes without complications and several difficult situations did developed during Flip's stay. By the grace of God and wisdom on Flip's part everything was resolved to the glory of God and this summer's event is right on schedule. Flip is encouraged and excited to see what is happening in Denver. Flip said, “This summer's event is going be awesome!” And the Denver pro-lifers agree.
