Three gentle warriors in the Lord in Jackson, Mississippi, were arrested on Wednesday, December 4, 2013, for praying on a public sidewalk in front of Mississippi’s last remaining abortion mill.  Harriet Ashley, Ron Niederhoed, and Esther Mann are our friends and better friends of King Jesus and His precious preborn children.

Thank God for their stand!  Would that all of God’s church would do the same. 

Enjoy Dr. Pat McEwen’s reporting of this sad yet glorious event here.

 

 

 

 

 

Attached is the story of God’s call upon the lives of Michelle and her husband Brandon Stewart, and a picture of their wonderful family.  Michelle posted this little caveat of their first family sortie into the gates of hell in Houston, this past Saturday, November 30, 2013. 

There were four turn-aways that Saturday.  Praise the Lord!

 “We were able to implement two microphones at both entrances and we were much more effective.  We were also able to have signs at both parking lots.  We need Malachi, I believe!  Praising King Jesus for a great day serving Him.  It was such a joy to come as a family and we are only 6 people but wow we can really get stuff done in His name!  The kiddos were challenging the clinic escorts today.  It is both hilarious and sad to watch them get stumped by little kids.

Enjoy! ~ Flip

 

Houston – a modern-day Ninevah?

 

Stewart Family

 

I have been reading in Jonah, Micah, and Nahum this week.  This story is one that I couldn’t put down when I started in Jonah.  I felt so compelled to dig into it and what we know about Ninevah.  Why did Jonah struggle so much about going there?  What was so bad about that wicked place?

 

I have learned that Houston has 15 “gates” aka killing places/abortion clinics.  While studying up on Ninevah, I learned that it, too had exactly 15 gates in the city walls guarded with statues of bulls with human heads.  In Jonah 1:2 I feel the Lord speaking to Jonah in the same way he spoke to me about Houston after the mill in my hometown of College Station, TX, closed down.  FOREVER WE PRAISE YOU LORD FOR TEARING DOWN THAT STRONGHOLD!!!  Please help me to heed this warning, O Lord.  I want to please you.  Hold me accountable to You as well as my earthly authorities designated to me by You as I struggle with that ever present fight with disobedience and comfort of my own town and home.   I do NOT want to be swallowed up by the whale only to be spit out 3 days later.

 

I associate so closely with this story.  As we walk through Jonah we see that he obeyed God the second time He commanded Jonah to go to Ninevah.  We learn it was a 3 day walk to get there.  I should be grateful I have a car and it’s only 2 hours to Houston!  I also love how the Lord was providing for Jonah, even when Jonah wanted to die because he was so mad at God.  He could not understand how he could end up so destructed, but God ended up sparing Ninevah, at least temporarily, because they repented.  However, after he had evangelized as required by the Lord’s command, Jonah was not willing to use the tools the Lord gave him even for simple survival.  The Lord grew up a plant around Jonah to cover him while he was homeless, but the plant withered away, as Jonah did not take care of it.

 

God even purposes to Jonah an interesting debate.  I personally happen to love this part of the story, because it is a good example of how to deal with any lie of the enemy.  Usually you can find something self-refuting in a lie.  The art of apologetics is at work here when Jonah says, “It’s better for me to die than to live.” (Jonah 4:8).  Talk about self pity…. but that is another topic. Back to the Lord’s response in verse 9 “Is it right for you to be angry about the plant?”  Then in verse 10, Jonah seems to tell God, “Duh… of course it is right!  I’m angry enough to die!”  So the Lord answered in the final paragraph of the book: “You cared about the plant, WHICH YOU DID NOT LABOR OVER AND DID NOT GROW.  It appeared in a night and perished in a night.  Should I not care about the great city of Nineveh, which has more than 120,000 people who cannot distinguish between their right and their left, as well as many animals?”  I imagine Jonah did not like the taste of that particular humble pie he had to eat that day.  This is one concept it seems the Church also has a hard time dealing with.  They focus on praise and worship, and being purpose-driven, but never actually step out onto that plank of obedience in full faithfulness and trust.

 

Micah gives us a great example of what it means to prophesy, (what we now call evangelizing since we have Holy Spirit).  He spoke what the Lord needed to tell the people, in a land before the veil was torn.  Priests talked to God for the people, and prophets talked from God to the people.  We see him speaking of false “grace” prophets who leave out righteous judgment.  Sounds A LOT like America!  Micah does such a good job of living out Ephesians and standing for Truth, while still loving the people as God commanded him.

 

I know he is talking about Israel here, but I also relate closely to Micah 7:1-4 “How sad for me! For I am like one who – when the summer fruit has been gathered after the gleaning of the grape harvest – finds no grape cluster to eat, no early fig, which I crave.” (This particular passage feels like what it is to minister in Houston with the very low #s of known turnaways and rescues.  Of course, Houston has all the tools to get to planting the seeds God gives them.  But there are hardly any people willing to get out and work that field.  They want to skip ahead to the harvest, and blame God for not bringing it to them).

 

It continues on: “Godly people have vanished from the land; there is no one upright among the people. All of them WAIT IN AMBUSH TO SHED BLOOD; they hunt each other with a net.  Both hands are good at accomplishing evil; the official and the judge demand a bribe; when the powerful man communicates his evil desire, they plot it together.  The best of them is like a brier; the most upright is worse than a hedge of thorns.  The day of your watchmen, the day of your punishment, is coming; at this time their panic is here.”  The panic is definately spreading in Houston, as gentle Christians, forced again out onto the ledge of obedience and trust, are answering the call to evangelize this enormous stronghold I call the “competitive market of abortion in Houston.”  There are so many abortion clinics in Houston that they have started the names of the Clinics with A’s.  There is A Affordable Women’s Center, Aaron’s Women’s Clinic, AAA Concerned Women’s Center, and Aalto Womens Center.  That’s 4 clinics competing for the first spot in the yellow pages under: “Abortion provider.”  The other clinics I know about so far are Gulf Coast Planned Parenthood Headquarters, Dickinson PP Health Center, Greenspoint PP Health Center, Northwest PP Health Center, Stafford PP Health Center, Houston Women’s Clinic, Suburban Women’s Clinic (2 locations in Houston proper), Texas Ambulatory Surgical Center, Southwest Health Center, and KNS Medical Center.  Folks, if I wanted to visit 2 clinics per day in Houston, it would take me over a week!  I have spent much time in Houston since we returned from the OSA national event in Rochester.  I have largely been alone in my work, save my direct family.  I was able to get in to three of the clinics without any deathscorts there, because they are not needed everywhere on Saturdays, and are basically not needed at all on Monday-Friday.  Most of the clinics kill EVERY DAY but Sunday.  Where are God’s people?  Maybe this Ninevah needs us to GO THERE!

 

But first let’s revel in God’s awesome-ness!  Michah 7:18 – 20 “Who is a God like You, removing iniquity and passing over rebellion for the REMNANT of His inheritance?”  (Boy sometimes do I ever feel like nothing but a remnant.)  “He does not hold on to His anger forever, because He delights in faithful love.  He will again have compassion on us; He will vanquish our iniquities.  You will cast all our sins into the depths of the sea.  You will show loyalty to Jacob and faithful love to Abraham, as You swore to our fathers from days ago.”  What a BEAUTIFUL way to end a book that is very short, but very powerful.

 

In Rochester the Lord told me in a dream (that was so vivid, I got up and wrote it down immediately in the middle of the night)  He gave me the term “destineered” and said, “Now GO!”  I knew it was the Lord telling me that.  Destineered is not in the dictionary, but you can kind of think of it as being designed/engineered or prepared for a fate or destiny or purpose.  I promise this will make sense, so bear with me.  If I were to have to go to Ninevah today, I’d have to fly to Baghdad, then drive north along the Tigris River, and when I got to the city of Mosul, I’d cross the river via bridge, and then I’d stop.  I wouldn’t find that much when I got there, but I would know that that term “destineered” does not just apply to a Christian person’s purpose.  It also can apply to a group of people’s ultimate fate.  Ninevah’s ultimate fate was complete destruction, because they acted in rebellion against God.  We know the Assyrians who lived there were a horrible and destructive people who took over cities by force – aggressive brutal force we would probably associate with Islam in our day and time.

 

I do not know what fate lies with Houston, or with America, but I do know that Jonah’s prophesy was conditionial.  If they repented, God would save the city, and they would be spared.  Initially, they did repent, and were spared; but ultimately, Ninevah was finally destroyed.  God is slow to anger, but AWESOME IN POWER (Nahum 1:3).  How many bb’s do we need to add to the “Sound of abortion” video before we’ve waited too long to repent?  How many times can this country blaspheme our Creator before we have to taste of that bitter cup of wrath?  I can’t know that, but I’m so glad that when we all get to heaven, all of this earthly battle stuff will just be a moment, and it will be over.  Then, we can sit and rejoice with all of heaven, and the battle will have been WON!  The battle is in fact, already won, because our God is not bound by the constraints of time, like the lowly earth is.  He has always been on top!

 

Oh VICTORY in JESUS

My Savior FOREVER!

He sought me and He bought me

With HIS REDEEMING BLOOD!

He loved me e’er I knew Him

And all my love is due Him

He Plunged me to VICTORY!!!!

Beneath the cleansing flood

 

Love and blessings from Texas!

 

Let’s keep standing!

  The saints in Denver are living out the Gospel of Christ by exposing the deeds of darkness.  “Have nothing to do with the fruitless deeds of darkness, but rather expose them.  For it is shameful even to mention what the disobedient do in secret.  But everything exposed by the light becomes visible, for it is light that makes everything visible.  This is why it is said:  ‘Wake up, O sleeper, rise from the dead, and Christ will shine upon you.’”  Ephesians 5: 11-14. 

 

This powerful ministry of shining the light of Christ and exposing the fruitless deeds of darkness gives us the opportunity to repent of our sins that the light of Christ might shine on us and rescue us from our sin sick selves.  This is precisely what love does.  It confronts us with the truth of what we have become that we might confess (agree with God) and find forgiveness in the only place it can be found – Christ! 

 

Through the ministry of exposing abortionists to their fruitless deeds of darkness many have come to a knowledge of Jesus Christ.  Our prayer is that abortionist Reid Goodman will repent of his foolishness and murder and experience the forgiveness of Christ. 

 

See the graphic pictures of Abortionist Reid Goodman here.  This is Biblical love.

 

This short article by Steve McCann encapsulates in 700 words the real significance of the assassination of John Fitzgerald Kennedy.  I do not know that McCann is a Christian, but I do know that he has more truth in this short piece than I have seen in all of the editorials, docudramas, documentaries, et.al, that are filling the airwaves, periodicals, and web universe on this 50th memorial of JFK’s assassination.

We lived in Dallas, Texas, at the time of JFK’s twenty-fifth memorial on November 22, 1988.  The city of Dallas was filled with national and international media and over 75 thousand mourners who gathered around the Book Depository and the grassy knoll in downtown.  It was a somber time yet somehow it seemed eerily festive. 

About twenty of us carried signs that read:

“One dies and Millions Mourn – Millions Die and No One Mourns!”

 

Three Minutes that Transformed America

American Thinker:  Nov. 20, 2013


By

Invariably at some point in the history of a nation an event occurs which precipitates or dramatically accelerates the potential demise of that nation or empire.  The United States experienced such an event in Dallas fifty years ago Friday.

Within months of the assassination of John Kennedy, America turned dramatically to the left as the avowed disciples of Franklin Roosevelt and European socialism assumed the reins of power and were the catalyst that unleashed into the American mainstream those true-believers in Marxist ideology determined to transform the nation, and who have now metastasized into a cancer on the American society.

President Lyndon Johnson, in league with an overwhelmingly Democrat-controlled Congress, shamelessly exploited the nation’s grief over the death of its youthful President and willfully steered the nation onto the course of massive government intervention into the day-to-day lives of all Americans, and unfettered social spending as personified by a myriad of welfare programs enacted under the rubric of the “War on Poverty”, the passage of Medicare and Medicaid, and the unleashing of an avalanche of new regulations.  The inexorable transfer of unbridled power to Washington and the political expedient of unsustainable promises to the American people had begun in earnest.

Over the past 50 years the Democratic Party became the unabashed promoters of these policies, while many in the Republican Party, the most notable exception being Ronald Reagan, the enablers.  As a result, the American economy is now in a near-permanent state of stagnation and the nation has embarked on a headlong dash into bankruptcy.  While the population of the country has increased by 70% since 1963, the national debt has ballooned (on an inflation adjusted basis) 620% over the past half-century from $2,400 Billion to $17,200 Billion; however more ominous is the increase in unfunded liabilities since 1963 from an inflation adjusted $12,700 Billion to $127,000 Billion today. (http://www.usdebtclock.org/)

Although the adjusted Gross Domestic Product (GDP) has increased by 250% during these past 50 years, inflation-adjusted household median income has only grown by 30%, thanks in part to federal, state and local government spending which has increased by 375% and now siphons off 41% of the national GDP as compared to 26% in 1963.  The primary factor: entitlement and social spending at all levels of government has increased a phenomenal 767% since 1963 ($450 Billion annually (inflation adjusted) versus $3,900 Billion today) (http://www.usgovernmentspending.com)

Further, as an indicator of the tentacles of a massive central government intruding on the day to day lives of all Americans, the Code of Federal Regulations (the official codification of the general and permanent rules and regulations of the government) is now approaching 180,000 pages (the height of a seven story building), an increase of nearly 500% since 1963.  The culmination of this authoritarian trend toward the complete loss of freedom and privacy is the chaos that is ObamaCare and security agencies (such as the NSA) monitoring the daily activities of the citizenry.

However, it is not just the unrestrained growth of government and disastrous fiscal and monetary policies that has brought the country to the precipice it is also the denigration of American society and the transformation of the American ruling class — a large percentage of whom currently subscribe to socialist political philosophies.  This is a ruling class that now has access to trillions of dollars and the unchecked power of government at its disposal.  A by-product of which is the astronomical rise in political corruption and cronyism as well an ill-educated and ill-informed citizenry.

This process had its beginning in 1964 through 1968 as the Johnson administrations misguided and grossly mishandled Vietnam War spawned a broad anti-war movement.  The ensuing protests unleashed far more than just a demand for an end to the war.  Those that blamed America for all manner of alleged sins in the past and determined to transform the United States into a socialist/Marxist nirvana were able to step out from behind the shadows and enter the mainstream of national legitimacy.  This swarm of locusts soon enveloped the higher levels of Academia spawning countless clones to further infiltrate and dominate all strata of the education, and media/entertainment establishment as well as assume control of the Democratic Party.

Not only by debasing the curriculum throughout all levels of schooling but through propaganda disseminated by the media/entertainment complex American society was gradually but inexorably altered to reflect the left’s determination to upend the basic moral and religious underpinning of society, thus assuring the populace would look to the government as their savior.  This process, underway for nearly two generations, has eventuated in the creation of a massive class of low-information and dependent voters unconcerned about the nation’s future and susceptible to all manner of lies and propaganda from unscrupulous national leaders.

The most doctrinaire, dangerous and devious occupant of the Oval Office in the nation’s history is Barack Obama — the son of an avowed Marxist father, who not only in his childhood, but during all his formative years, was immersed in radical ideology.  He would not be president today were it not for the consequences of the events that took place on the 22nd of November 1963.

It is always hazardous to speculate how someone would have governed had they lived to do so and were re-elected to a second term.  However, John Kennedy, by his actions as President revealed himself to be someone who believed in controlling government spending and reducing taxes as a necessary catalyst for economic growth.  Further, based on his experience with the Bay of Pigs debacle and the Cuban missile crisis, he was very circumspect about involving the United States in a massive military venture such as Viet Nam.   One thing is certain, however, he clearly was not a disciple of Franklin Roosevelt and American socialism despite being a lifelong member of the Democratic Party.

Lee Harvey Oswald, steeped in Marxist ideology from his years in the Soviet Union, was, in his addled thought process, convinced he could change the course of American history by murdering John F. Kennedy.   He has succeeded far more than he would have ever imagined.  As the American people pause and reflect on those fateful days in November fifty years ago, they must not only remember the man but the consequences of his assassination, as only they can reverse the tide of history.

We went to Jackson to stand with the saints of Mississippi who want abortion to end in their state.  We went to the “last abortion mill standing” in the state.  We prayed at the “pink horror” while pro-aborts held signs, “this clinic stays open” and “abortion on demand with no apology.”  All this in front of a killing center that was open, but not for business.  As often happens when the theology of heaven becomes biography in the streets – the enemy closes shop.  PTL! 

Shocking ~ the Mocking & Blocking of Truth in Jackson, Mississippi

by Leslie Hanks

With the mill essentially closed, we proclaimed the Gospel of Christ at other gates: five high schools, two college campuses, twenty-five churches, the state capitol, and ended at the courthouse with Chet and Cal!  Literally thousands heard and saw our Lord’s message.  The reception was incredibly welcoming.  The folks in Mississippi really want abortion to end.  What an awesome privilege to deliver God’s mail!

Operation Save America held another States of Refuge event in Jackson to proclaim the infinite value of human beings, made in God’s image, and to press for the closure of Mississippi’s last remaining house of child sacrifice.  If you’ve never been to an OSA outreach, there is no better way to renew and re-dedicate one’s self to the furthering of God’s Kingdom and His purposes.

The evening rallies and daily educational demonstrations were powerfully effective and instructive.  Reverend Flip Benham, Rusty Thomas, Chet Gallagher, Cal Zastrow, Ante Pavkovic and Coach Dave Daubenmire all fired up the troops for our daily missions, with the haunting theme of ‘who will stand in the gap’?  It’s truly amazing to see what God can do with a small band of 70 dedicated Christians to rock a city for truth!  Come, “stand in the gap” with us – it is exhilarating!

The Pepto Pink kill mill is still standing but, Lord willing, not for long.  Diane Derzis and her employees on day one called the police to chase us away because they had a permit for an imaginary rally.  Although there were no attendees, they insisted we depart and, because we had a memorial service at the Capitol to set up, we complied.  Since their rally failed – they joined us for ours

As I drove away I got a snap of an employee decorating a car ~ hmmm?  I should have anticipated their nefarious purpose but it didn’t click until the pro-aborts began circling the Capitol ~ horns blaring to drown out the memorial, in honor of the 60,000 MS babies killed by abortion.  As disruptive as their parade was, nothing prepared us for the StopPatriachy.org anarchy team’s takeover of the steps of the Capitol, led by Sunsara Taylor.  Chanting, “A fetus isn’t a baby”, “Abortion isn’t murder”, and “Women aren’t incubators”, they stormed the event with further shouts of “Abortion on demand, no apology”.  Their attempts at mayhem made the battle we fight so clear.

Their feet run to evil, And they make haste to shed innocent blood; Their thoughts are thoughts of iniquity; Wasting and destruction are in their paths.The way of peace they have not known, And there is no justice in their ways; they have made themselves crooked paths; Whoever takes that way shall not know peace.  Isaiah 59:7-8

Capitol security was slow to respond but eventually removed them from the Capitol grounds.  Across the street the mocking and four letter words continued, but the memorial to the pre-born children lost in Mississippi was magnificently proclaimed.

The following day, we headed to Pearl High School to educate the students about the horror of abortion.  We learned that the city of Pearl claims to be a First Amendment Free city.  We were asked to leave the campus by school authorities and told to go across the highway, which we did.  Not long after, numerous squad cars arrived and the Police Chief told us of their ordinance requiring a permit to protest anywhere in Pearl.  Former police officer, Chet Gallagher, was extremely diplomatic in his discussions regarding the ordinance which seems to be a clear First Amendment violation.

Our next stop was Millsaps College.  Founded as a Methodist college in the late 1800s, the institution is now clearly bereft of her founding principles.  Our signs were not welcome on the school property, so we set up shop across the street and the fiery preaching of Flip Benham and Ante Pavkovic began in earnest.  Powerful preaching about John Wesley and how he was persecuted for his faith and the faith of the school’s founders really sent several students over the edge.  Female students sadly began acting out lewdly and a young male was clearly agitated.  Truth is hate to those who hate the truth.

A local businessman confronted our demonstration, complaining that we were interfering with his ability to do business.  He held his hand on the horn for minutes at a time, trying to drown out the preaching.  “When deceit becomes universal; truth becomes a revolutionary act.”  George Orwell.

Today’s church is so MIA from the ‘war on the pre-born’ and her message so milquetoast, that a strong word makes people lose it when they hear and see truth.

26 Her priests have violated My law and profaned My holy things; they have not distinguished between the holy and unholy, nor have they made known the difference between the unclean and the clean; and they have hidden their eyes from My Sabbaths, so that I am profaned among them. 27 Her princes in her midst are like wolves tearing the prey, to shed blood, to destroy people, and to get dishonest gain.28 Her prophets plastered them with untempered mortar, seeing false visions, and divining lies for them, saying, ‘Thus says the Lord God,’ when the Lord had not spoken. 29 The people of the land have used oppressions, committed robbery, and mistreated the poor and needy; and they wrongfully oppress the stranger. 30 So I sought for a man among them who would make a wall, and stand in the gap before Me on behalf of the land, that I should not destroy it; but I found no one.”  Ezekiel 22:26-30

“The true Christian is called to be a soldier, and must behave as such from the day of his conversion to the day of his death.  He is not meant to live a life of pious ease, indolence and security.  He must never imagine for a moment, that he can sleep and doze along the way to Heaven, like one traveling in an easy carriage.  If he takes his standard of Christianity from the people of this world, he may be content with such vain notions — but he will find no countenance for them in the Word of God.  If the Bible is the rule of his faith and practice, he will find his course laid down very plainly in this matter.  He must ‘fight!'”

Here’s the Newsletter!

Adam Tennant, great friend of this ministry and a better friend of King Jesus and His precious preborn children, has written another very poignant article filled with biblical principle.

Enjoy!

 

 

Marilyn, Carmen, and all the saints in Connecticut who have been faithfully living their faith out in the streets of Connecticut these past twenty-five years have some absolutely incredible stories of what God does when we simply show up at the gates of hell.  The abortion battle is being won in the streets every day.  Only those who are there and see the victories know it!

 

Enjoy!   

  Mike and Jerry give us this write up of the miracles God is working as a result of our National Event in Rochester, New York, this past July.  God’s church in the city of Rochester is rising up in the strong Name of Jesus to stand in the gap on behalf of our precious preborn brothers and sisters.  The gates of hell cannot prevail against God’s prevailing church.

Abortion will come to an end in the city of Rochester when the church of Jesus Christ makes up her mind it will come to an end, and not one second sooner.

Enjoy!

Dear Brothers and Sisters,

 

Since the OSA event in July, Jerry and I have been busy following up on the contacts that OSA missionaries handed us after they visited numerous churches during the OSA Sunday church visitation outreach. Terry Crawford has been our executive secretary setting up meetings with these pastors. All the pastors we have visited have been encouraged and have encouraged us by agreeing that something must be done. They have thus far been interested in any materials we have been able to provide. We are making available the “Abortion Violation” pamphlet and other resources such as, Randy Alcorn’s book, Pro-Life Answers to Pro-Choice Arguments, Ray Comfort’s DVD180.com, and Rusty Thomas’s books, The Kingdom Leadership Institute, and Abortion Violation as well as the tracts that Flip has made available. All the pastors have appreciated the visits and we expect some opportunities to speak at Sunday school classes or at additional special meetings in the future.

 

Jerry and I have plugged into a monthly meeting of area pastors that Pastor Ron from our host church, Bethel oversees. He has had us in to give a report on the event in July and to inform pastors how their churches can get involved. We have visited four pastors in the black community and have shared at a monthly pastors gathering at a church on Columbia Ave. near a high school that we visited during God is Going Back to School campaign . Elder White is a gifted evangelist and orator and always wants us to attend and participate in the meeting assuring us that he wants to help us any way he can. We also visited a large church is Rochester whose bishop oversees 89 churches from Buffalo to Syracuse. They would like some of the resources to use in their youth program. Pastor Mike, who has a church in a hard neighborhood in Rochester and led a segment of the Solemn Assembly during OSA/ROC, has been in touch. We have met and had some time of fellowship. He and his family attended Life Chain that Rescue Rochester coordinated in October.

 

Since July, we have shifted our weekly focus to two main locations, Planned Parenthood in Greece, NY and Morris Wortman’s clinic on S. Clinton in Brighton. We have invited the churches to come out for a focused gathering at these two locations and numbers are increasing. At the Planned Parenthood location we have 10-14 out with us, added to the 12 – 15 Catholics that have been at Planned Parenthood.  This means we have grown from two, to a group of 20-25 each Saturday. These are moms, dads, couples and at times some young people. On Tuesdays our other focus day, we are seeing 4-6 joining with us at Morris Wortman’s. At each place the Berringer Sound System and the additional large Malachi and Rescued Baby picture signs that OSA donated to us has been really useful and effective. At these locations our sidewalk counseling and preaching has increased and we are using the tracts and pamphlets to distribute to passersby and clients when we can. Jerry and I are also taking up a leaflet and sign holding station on other days at the University of Rochester Medical School to tract and talk to the students that walk from the campus to the hospital school location.

 

The OSA visit has lit a spark and embers here in Rochester and these embers are beginning to flicker into a flame. Our goal is to continue to marshal the momentum gained by OSA’s investment here in Rochester and to see the church move from affirmation that something needs to be done to actually participating in the doing. Please continue to pray for us.  Blessings to all who came to the OSA in ROC this summer, your labor was not in vain in the LORD! I’ll close with this scripture that God has given to me as a motive and encouragement; may it sow courage into your heart also.  2 Corth 4:13 “It is written: “I believed; therefore I have spoken.”…Since we have that same spirit of faith, we also believe and therefore speak,”  Jerry and I hope to see you in Jackson, Mississippi in November! We remain.

Yours for the Least of These,

Mike Warren and Jerry Crawford
