Great to see the inner city discussion our Gospel proclamation made possible in the city of Jackson Hole this past week. We had so many incredible conversations with the folks of this very angry city. Many new friends, a few less old enemies, and some brand new Christians. Doesn’t get any better than this. Here’s the story by Richard Abowitz via planetjh.com.

Pastor Mark just sent me this report by Jill Stanek. She picked up on our Gospel adventure through Rachael Maddow of all people. Thank you Rachael for trumpeting our Gospel assault on the gates of hell in Jackson, Wyoming. One day your knee will bow and your mouth will confess that Jesus Christ is Lord. We pray it will be today!
Here is the information for folks to sign the National Emancipation for the Preborn Child.
This link http://www.prebornemancipation.org/ enables you to sign the document and then send it to others.
In Christian love,

This is one of the best articles I have read in defense of pre-born children and the church’s responsibility toward them. Remember, “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. Abortion is preeminently a Gospel issue!
Here’s Brenda Spurlock’s report on what’s been happening in the little town of Jackson Hole, Wyoming. Enjoy!
Wednesday-Friday, May 16-18, 2012
During three days of street preaching, public Bible reading & prayer, display of signs that depict both the humanity of the child in the womb and the barbarity of abortion, our folks in Jackson, WY began to see residents awakening to the fact that standing against child murder is not only their civil duty, it is “Loving and Compassionate!”

A number of our people reported receiving handshakes and thanks from Christians who were happy we had come. One woman said she had been praying that the hypocrisy of the churches regarding abortion would be exposed.

At our evening services, OSA saints recounted divine appointments they had on the streets. One night eight of them spoke. Among them, Deanna Waller, who ministered to a grandmother who was still grieving a grandchild that she hadn’t known was being aborted.
Dorothy Boyett told about Collin (20), who came to Jackson for work. He said he had no religious background. After Dorothy described how holy our God is, and took Collin through the Law, he admitted if he died today he would go to hell. Then she had the privilege of telling him the blessed news of what Jesus did on the cross for us. “Now isn’t that good news?” she asked. That’s the best news I’ve had all day!” he replied
Ante Pavkovic said he and a man he met on the streets discussed abortion and every other controversial subject under the sun. There was a different spirit, a friendly rapport, after spending more than an hour working their way through these subjects.

On the same corner where a Kansas Pastor and Chet Gallagher were arrested last year, we finished up Word in Warfare by reading Revelations.

Most of the ladies still in town went to Church at River Crossing, a non-denominational church pastored by Mike Atkins. Gary Jelich and Michael Sugar stood on the highway and held the Malachi sign that asks, “Where is your church?” . The rest of the men went into the residential area with signs after being removed from church property.
The Pharisee who prayed about himself thanking God he wasn’t like other men was the sermon topic. Pastor Atkins said he didn’t believe in our methodology. He said that he had talked with Brent Blue and hadn’t been able to get him to quit doing abortions. (This was at our leader’s request after Pastor Atkins was missing in action on vacation last year while we were here.) He told the congregation he has saved a baby. He said our people shouldn’t have come , that local pastors have spiritual authority for Jackson.
Following services, Heather Mechanic explains in Spanish to a Hispanic gentleman why we’ve come.
A gray-haired woman identified as being a witch who burned incense and did incantations last year while we were in town, was on church property with a sign, though OSA wasn’t allowed on the property with signs. She complained to a young assistant pastor about us. He told her she had the authority to call the police. She wasn’t a church member but said she visits once a month.
A man leaving after the service, thanked our people for being there and handed us a $100 bill saying he wanted to buy lunch for everyone.
One of our saints went to Presbyterian Church of Jackson Hole whose pastor also said he didn’t agree with our methods. “We have fervently pro-life people and also have fervently pro-choice people,” he said, “but we all come together for the sake of the gospel of Christ.”
Here’s the link to see this video via YouTube. (We can’t help but agree with Flip that the pastors are what’s wrong with Jackson, Wyoming )

It rocked the “church” in Jackson, Wyoming. It needed some shaking, in Jesus’ Name.

Press Release
May 17, 2012
For Immediate Release:
Memorial Service for the Unborn Killed In Wyoming
There is only one abortion Mill in Wyoming where children in the womb are murdered, but the blood of the innocent still flows in this land. The death of even one child grieves the righteous God. While we are laughing, partying and singing our praises, their blood cries out to a just God who said to Babylon:
“Because you rejoice and are glad, you who pillage my inheritance,because you frolic like a heifer threshing grain and neigh like stallion your mother will be greatly ashamed; she who gave you birth will be disgraced.
We may not hear the silent scream of the child being murdered in the womb but God does. We will memorialize the 55 million of these innocents who have died in the U.S. particularly those who died in Wyoming and cry out to God in repentance because we knew and did nothing.
What: Memorial for Unborn killed in Wyoming
Address: The Square, Jackson Hole Wyoming
Date: Friday, May 18, 2012
Time: 1:30 PM
Contact: Dr. Pat McEwen (321) 431 3962
We began the day with witness on the road in front of the high school. Although there were a few people who took literature and a very few tentative waves the reception was pretty icy. Many of the people driving by wore the “united” t-shirts with the slogan Civility, compassion, love or displayed the signs with the same slogan but they were far from civil. A card they carried listed a number of “don’ts” including anger and even offered a help line if you could not control that anger. It is interesting that those who do not know Jesus cannot control their anger nor forgive.
The next venue was the public sidewalk in front of the strip mall where Dr. Blue kills babies in the only killing center in Wyoming. We brought signs, praise, preaching and the Word of God right to the gates of hell to petition the Lord to have mercy on both Wyoming and our nation and stop the shedding of innocent blood in the streets of America. Our nation is in grave danger. Blood flows in our streets, our economy is bleeding to death and our children are being murdered in abortion clinics in every state of the union because we have forgotten His law.
“my people are destroyed from lack of knowledge. Because you have rejected knowledge, I also reject you as my priests; because you have ignored the law of your God, I also will ignore your children.” Hosea 4:6
We began Word in Warfare and started to read the entire Bible through at the very gates of hell for six hours. Our group ended the day’s reading in Joshua 20, the Cities of refuge! Perhaps the Lord will have mercy on us and Wyoming will become the first State of Refuge – the first abortion free state.
The “united” planned to divert traffic from us with detour sign to avoid the protestors but most just passed through because of curiosity.
There were many opportunities to witness and the police were remarkably professional. Jeremy & Felice who were so faithful to stand after we left Jackson Hole last year prepared the way for us. Even though Felice lost her brother in a tragic fire the night before we arrived they were servants to all. What a great example of the true Christianity!
There is a tremendous oppressive spirit over the city and it is so dark and heavy we could feel it. It was so obvious that we war not with flesh and blood but with the powers and principalities who rule over this city.
