OSA-CT Ministry Report - 11/9/2009
Marilyn Carroll with foreword by Rev Flip Benham • 11/12/2009
We were blessed to have Mark Cahill with us this weekend. He is an internationally known author and evangelist. He came into Connecticut on Thursday afternoon and started ministering on the streets with us Friday morning at the Summit Abortuary on 3787 Main Street, Bridgeport. It was a cold windy morning, the coldest yet this fall. Figures! Mark is from Atlanta and not used to much cold weather, but he survived. He is in the picture above with my granddaughter Colbi and her two friends Ashley(9) and Rachel(12). Mark was so blessed to see the young ones out trying to save little boys and girls that are sentenced to die. We need to train our kids to love their neighbors as themselves. Thirty pro-lifers came out including three pastors (Les Young, Pedro Vazquez and Bob Hoyt). Please keep praying for them. Saturday we went to the state headquarters of Planned Parenthood of Connecticut. The climate there is much different than Bridgeport. The people are much harder there. We've been in Bridgeport ministry for twenty years and have broken up the hard ground that was once there. The police and the people there know us and know what we do. Many resources have been given out. We have helped many moms with their needs. We also try to disciple them so they do not commit the same sins over again (repentance).
 Mark Cahill had the opportunity to reach out to these moms going in for abortions. He asked them if they were glad their moms chose life for them, and they all said "yes". So he said, "I hope your baby can say the same." He had the opportunity to converse with a Yale professor and numerous students in the Yale campus neighborhood. Twenty-one Christians came out to the streets to preach the good news to every creature! Lots of Mark's books and tracts were given out. As we drove out of that area Mark wanted to stop and check out a building and he went in a little park and spoke to some needy people and gave to them. When we left Brenda, who was driving behind us saw the woman put her head down into her hands.
You see Mark reinforced the two reasons we are here:
1) To make Jesus well known. 2) To make Jesus look good.
Saturday afternoon we were off the Pastor Goodall's church - Haven of Rest on Campbell Ave. in West Haven. Mark did a superb presentation on the above two topics. The church was full and many were charged to teach the things Jesus taught us. We have the power to do this through the Holy Spirit. Saturday night Mark did an awesome power point for the youth and young adults at Calvary Life Christian Center in Cheshire. We thank Pastor John and Carmela, Pastor Bob and PJ for their hospitality. For the teaching go to www.Gospelightcommunitychurch.comand click on the sermons tab. I thank God for putting him in our path at the Atlanta OSA National Event in 2008! I know he will be back in Connecticut, we already have a list of new churches that want him. |

Fourteen women went in at killing time, three turned away and left (we don't know why?) One couple changed their mind. When this couple was going in the young man was acting very disrespectful. At one point he came out and went to the corner to get a Subway. Carmen and Jennie tried to talk to him. Mark Cahill went in after him and he said he just wanted to be left alone. Mark said nothing about the abortion, just told him that Jesus said "its better to give than receive" so Mark paid for his food even though the young dad did not really want him to. The young man got tears in his eyes and went back into the killing center he had a totally different demeanor than before.
