More Victories in Rochester!

Since we all gathered in Rochester, New York, this past summer for our National Event, God’s providential hand has been revealed to the saints here as they watch Him do exceedingly abundantly above all they asked or imagined.  

Another victory at Planned Parenthood today, March 20, 2014

Rescue Rochester has begun a shift at the downtown Planned Parenthood each Thursday for the past couple of months now.  We hold, signs, pray, and preach.  Sometimes we preach to moms and dads going into the facility, sometimes to the staff, sometimes just to the wall or to ourselves.  God’s Word is powerful!  Today, just after we left, an employee came out and crossed the street to talk to a man that has been at this site for years, praying and holding a sign.  She confessed, “Adolf, thank-you for being here and praying.  Today is my last day – I’m quitting this job!”

Hallelujah!!! 

We know that God is hearing the prayers of His people and the preaching of His Word.  He watches over His Word to perform it, as it goes forth and accomplishes His purpose.  Amen and Amen…

Planned Parenthood in Beginning Stages of Death Spiral!

 Good News from our friends at American Life League (ALL).  

Enjoy!

Planned Parenthood locations, areas served sink to 40-year low

 Washington—-The latest survey of Planned Parenthood facilities in the United States shows the number of clinics and geographic areas served is the lowest number of clinics for Planned Parenthood since Roe v. Wade legalized abortion in 1973. The data was released by American Life League’s STOPP Planned Parenthood International, the nation’s leading watchdog organization on Planned Parenthood.

 “We do exhaustive research on Planned Parenthood every year,” said Jim Sedlak, vice president at ALL, the nation’s oldest Catholic pro-life group. “This marks the eighth straight year of decline in both total facilities and total affiliates. Meanwhile, taxpayer subsidies remain at record highs under the Obama administration.”

The survey found that Planned Parenthood opened 13 new facilities in 2013 and closed 48. The closures took place in 16 different states. The number has fallen from a high of 938 locations in 1995 to 872 facilities in 2005 to 695 today. About half of the locations commit surgical or medical abortions.

ALL says that the closures are not due to any single specific law or financial bill, but are part of an ever-increasing dwindling of public support for Planned Parenthood. Rob Gasper, the ALL senior researcher who conducted the survey, believes other factors are also at work. In a recent commentary, Gasper wrote:

“A look at the numbers shows a major period of decline beginning in 2007 and an acceleration in that decline in 2009. Coincidentally, two major efforts began in those two years.

“First, in 2007, 40 Days for Life launched its first national prayer and fasting effort across more than 30 states. In 2009, American Life League started the Bringing Jesus to Planned Parenthood through Mary campaign.”

Gasper continued, “The battle against Planned Parenthood is not just an earthly fight. The premise is simple. Ask for God’s help. The unmeasurable God looks to be giving us a measurable answer!”

The complete 2013 Survey of Planned Parenthood Facilities can be found here.

The Third Most Visible Manifestation of the Battle Between Two Seeds!

Behind abortion and the homosexual agenda comes Islam.  Judgments all, from the hand of Almighty God, upon a nation that has been so richly blessed by Him yet turned her back on Him.  America, once so free because God shed His grace upon thee, has become a harlot of the worst sort.  “This is the way of the adulteress: she eats and wipes her mouth and says, “I’ve done nothing wrong.”  Proverbs 31:20.

Failure to acknowledge the fact that the salt has lost it saltiness and is presently being trampled under the feet of men rests squarely upon the shoulders of the one who proclaims  herself to be the salt of the earth – the Church of Jesus Christ!  Judgment begins here.

These judgments from God are meant to turn us back to Him – Jesus!

God bless, encourage, and strengthen the arms, of the brothers that will allow the theology of the church house to become biography in the streets of Columbus, Ohio, March 27-30.

Give ‘em heaven boys!      

Jesus is Muslim

“Most assuredly, I say to you, he who does not enter the sheepfold by the door, but climbs up some other way, the same is a thief and a robber” (John 10:1).

The hits keep coming. Next up, Muslims go on a campaign of deceit. Like all false religions and cults, to add legitimacy to their falsehoods, they incorporate their own version of Jesus. It is, however, not the Jesus of the Bible, but a Jesus of their imagination.

God’s Word warns of another Gospel, a different spirit, and another Jesus (Galatians 1:7, 2 Corinthians 11:14). This billboard is the poster child promoting this deception in America today. This lie cannot go unchallenged.

Coach Dave Daubenmire became aware of this defamation of character against our Lord perpetrated by Islam in America. He sent out a Macedonia call to come help. I, for one, have responded. God willing, I’ll be flying in next Thursday, March 27, and leaving out on Sunday afternoon to return home to my family.

On Friday, we will be taking the Gospel of the Kingdom to the gates of hell at the local abortion mill in Columbus, Ohio. On Saturday, we will deal directly with this deception, set the record, straight, contend for the faith, and preach the true Jesus, who is forever revealed in God’s Holy Word.

I know this is a short notice, but if some of you can make it, we can sure use the support. Abortion and homosexuality are the dangerous roots that is producing the dangerous fruit of Islam in America. While it is day in America, we must labor and uphold the truth in the midst of our perverse and crooked nation (John 9:4). If you can make it, please contact Coach at 704-507-3211 to make arrangements. We need boots on the ground, intercessors, and preachers to converge in Columbus, Ohio for such a time as this.

If you cannot make it, please cover us in prayer that we speak the truth in love, expose the lie, lift high the name of Jesus, and preach as we ought in His name! Love ya!

OSA April 2014 Newsletter

  “There is no longer room for hope.  If we wish to be free we must fight! … We are not weak.  Three million people, armed in the holy cause of liberty…are invincible by any force which our enemy can send against us.  We shall not fight alone.  God presides over the destinies of nations, and will raise up friends for us.  The battle is not to the strong alone, it is to the vigilant, the active, the brave ….

Is life so dear or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of slavery?  Forbid it, Almighty God!  I know not what course others may take, but as for me, give me liberty or give me death!”

Patrick Henry, March 23, 1775, stirring address to the Virginia House of Burgesses.  It was a call to the 13 hopelessly divided and separate colonies to unite under the banner of Christ for the cause of true Christian liberty.

Here’s the April Newsletter.

We are Just Being God’s Church – Houston, Texas

Sometimes sidewalk counselors, outside hell’s gates, have incredible opportunities to witness Christ to those just passing by.  Here is one of those amazing instances – divine appointments!

Enjoy!   

 

 

Couple Wrecks Car in front of Houston Womens Center, Closes Facility for over an hour

Meet Krystle, who’s unfortunate turn of events one Saturday morning saved babies, and maybe even her family’s eternal fate.  She had her three children in the car with her when she had an automobile accident which totaled her family’s only working vehicle.  The accident occurred right in front of Houston Womens Clinic, which is situated on a one-way-street.  The accident caused no access to the clinic for over one hour the morning of Saturday, February 22.  She had just left the hospital down the road where her husband, Eduardo was in a post-operative room recovering from a back surgery which had caused him to be out of work for over a month.

 Praise the Lord that the Christians who minister at the sidewalk of that clinic every Saturday were there to help Krystle hold her children while the tow truck took her now unusable vehicle away.  She only had liability insurance, and the wreck was her fault, so the insurance company would not pay for the car.

In 2 days (yes you heard that right), the Houston sidewalk counselors joined together, found a car at a reasonable price, raised the money, had the car detailed, minor issues fixed, and the next Saturday presented the family with the new car you see here in the picture.  It is a PT Cruiser, and the family loves it.

This is the real Church of Jesus Christ in action, and we are so happy to report that Eduardo and Krystle are now attending church in Houston with one of the local sidewalk counselors.  Praise to King Jesus!  Their car wreck saved babies, and saved their family from an eternity without Jesus.

A Crack in the Wall – God Working in Rochester!

This just in from Mike Warren and Jerry Crawford.  Here is another amazing report from Rescue Rochester of God’s providential hand moving at the Planned Parenthood abortion mill in Greece, New York.  We spent a lot of time storming the gates of hell there during our National Event last summer.  Our God is indeed and awesome God!

Enjoy!

 Dear Friends,

 Since the OSA event in Rochester last July, Rescue Rochester has focused our Saturday morning prayer and proclamation time at Planned Parenthood in Greece, NY. Last July saints from all over the country descended on this outpost of evil, to lift up holy hands in prayer and warfare praise and preach the gospel of the kingdom toward this stronghold of blood-guilt. The next door neighbor greeted us with open arms and allowed us to stand on his property near the entrance and has continued to allow us to use this access these last months.

 Last Saturday, we took up our positions once again. However the parking lot was empty! Sometimes Planned Parenthood has scheduled training gatherings at other locations but there was something different this time.

 Posted on their door was a sign that told of the new hours. Saturdays CLOSED!; and a few other caveats were thrown in. Another sign declared that this was a Hate Free Zone, with another giving pointers how to respond to “protesters” So we take great encouragement that God is on the move at this Planned Parenthood. That the presence of Christians, standing, praying and declaring truth has an effect.There is a crack in the wall and we are thankful to our Lord Jesus for showing us this encouraging development.

 As far as we know, there are no abortion mills open on Saturdays in Rochester. So we are looking to branch out with some afternoon and evening outreaches at some of the other locations in town. Thanks for your prayers and thank-you for coming to Rochester last July to help us push against the evil wall of Child Murder in the Flower City. We remain.

 Yours for the Least of These,

 Mike Warren and Jerry Crawford

A Life Saved – A Heart Changed – God Exalted!

Daniel and Courtney Parks, along with their six “kiddos,” have been faithful witnesses at the gates of hell here in Charlotte for several years now. Courtney is a nurse and Daniel often drives the Monroe Crisis Pregnancy Center RV and Sonogram Unit to the abortion mill on Latrobe Drive. They have been such a blessing and an incredible inspiration to all of us “street folks’ standing in the gap on behalf of Jesus and His precious preborn children.

This is Daniel’s report of what happened at Latrobe just a couple of weeks ago.

To God be all the glory!

 

​Saturday February 22, 2014 is a day that we will remember for a long time. We encountered something that we’ve never encountered in all the years we have been ministering at the abortion mill on Latrobe Dr. in Charlotte, NC. When I arrived at the mill with the mobile ultrasound unit, Brother Flip had already met a woman named Faith. Faith explained that her daughter, who we’ll call ‘D’, was inside the abortion mill, she had changed her mind and was trying to have her decision reversed. ‘D’ was over 18 weeks pregnant and required a 2 day abortion procedure. She had come the day before, heart set on aborting the baby inside her, pulled into the driveway like so many other mothers whose hearts are set on murder, and gone inside to start the procedure. Little did she know God had other plans! Some faithful sidewalk ministers were there, one in particular, Kathy Smothers, who pleaded the case for this precious baby. ‘D’ resisted and went inside to begin the two day procedure by having laminaria inserted into her cervix to make way for the hired assassins implements of death the next day. Faith stayed outside with the other children, and while ‘D’ was inside, and Mrs. Kathy pled with her the whole time to help spare that baby’s life. Something Mrs. Kathy said to ‘D’ while they were leaving stuck in her mind and reached her heart. She asked ‘D’ to pray and ask the Lord what he would have her do. ‘D’ took this charge seriously, went home and prayed with a heavy but now soft heart. ‘D’ told us that while praying and asking the Lord what to do she felt the baby moving around and kicking, her heart completely shifted, and she knew she couldn’t end this life inside of her! Instead of a hardened heart set on death, she now had a softened heart set of life, desperate to save her little one.

“D” had come back early that next morning to see about having the procedure reversed and the laminaria removed. Her mom said she was told by clinic staff that the doctor had to see her and would take it out before she could leave. Knowing how deceptive the staff at this mill can be, we implored Fatith to get ‘D’ out as soon as possible and let us help her, we didn’t want them to try and change her mind back or force the abortion on her. We told Faith to call the police if they wouldn’t let her leave. Faith assured us, ‘D’s mind was made up, she wanted to fight for this baby and she would not let them complete the abortion. Finally after Virmani arrived ‘D’ came out. She was very upset, she said they were very mean and rude and she refused to let that man (Virmani) touch her!

Thankfully the mobile ultrasound unit was there, and while we desperately tried to reach our prolife doctor, Dr. Harrison, we were able to minister to her and show her the precious baby that was still safe inside her womb. After a few phone calls by some very resourceful sidewalk counselors, we were able to reach Dr. Harrison who was able to see ‘D’ right away, he met her at a local ER and removed the laminaria himself, sparing this baby’s life.

We spoke with ‘D’ this past week and she couldn’t be more grateful that God put us in her path that day. She said that if no one had questioned her, or challenged her decision, if no one had spoken up for that baby, who knows what would have happened. And today, she still carries the baby safely in her womb!

It’s great to see in a situation like this, and many others we’ve encountered, how the body of Christ is able to come together in the many facets of Prolife ministry to help those in need and rescue the perishing. This baby’s life was spared through the efforts of Operation Save America, Cities4Life, Monroe HELP Crisis Pregnancy Center, and Dr. Matt Harrison. All are just simple Christians following the command to go!

Another Texas Abortion Mill Bites the Dust!

This just in from our good friend Jim Phillips, who spent hundreds of hours bringing Christ to the gates of hell at Westside Clinic in Fort Worth, Texas.

Our God is an awesome God!

Enjoy!

ANOTHER TEXAS CLINIC BITES THE DUST!

“I have seen a wicked, violent man spreading himself like a luxuriant tree in its native soil. Then he passed away, and lo, he was no more; I sought for him, but he could not be found.” – Psalm 37:35,36.

Those defending the preborn in Ft. Worth, Texas saw a welcome sight in the last week of February, 2014. The West Side clinic at 2011 South Las Vegas Trail, which had killed preborn babies since the ‘80s, was up for sale! The chop shop was part of a chain of at least four clinics owned by Ft. Worth businessman Roneal Martin. But beginning about 1987, pro-life pressure from Tarrant County Pro-Life Action Network, led by Rick Horton, kept bringing help, hope, and Jesus every week to clinic customers. Lives were saved as ordinary people did simple things in the name and power of their Savior. Rick was sued at least once and was also fired from a job due to the time spent on defending the most helpless. Clinic owner Roneal Martin suffered the loss of another clinic in Wichita in the 90’s and today it is unknown if his two remaining Louisiana clinics are still open. Planned Parenthood may call pro-lifers nuts and extremists, but by losing at least two clinics to Jesus-led activists, what would clinic owner Martin call the pro-lifers? EFFECTIVE.

Three years ago Martin sold his Ft. Worth clinic to others serving Satan, but the new Texas clinic law passed last year, bringing the killing centers up to merely the standards of safety for tonsillectomies, required abortionists to have local hospital admitting privileges — and the new owners couldn’t find such people. After three months of no admitting privileges, the new owners threw in the towel. Brookes Baker, who’s been leading many Ft. Worth pro-lifers now for years, reported last week the building is vacant and up for sale or lease!

So yes, it’s often cold out there in front of clinics, local churches treat you as people who just landed from another planet, and you may seldom see any babies saved. (I’ve been there, done that.) But keep at it! “For the word of the Lord is upright, and all His work is done in faithfulness.” – Psalm 33:4. And never forget — God sees what we don’t.

So often effective pro-life ministry is no more than ordinary people doing simple things. What about you? Are you an ordinary person? If you can go to a football stadium and wave a sign for your home team, can you go to a clinic and show a sign with life-saving, life changing truth? Could you do it if Jesus helped you? Yes? Well, what are you waiting for? FAITHFULNESS IS EFFECTIVE!

Last Abortion Mill In Tallahassee – Closed!

You read it right!  Enjoy this article from Miss Pat!

 

TN Clinic Closes

 

This legal notice from Tallahassee newspaper says it all. They are closing!! A phone call to the killing mill gave us more info. The reason for the closure is lack of staff doctors.

Remember the story in the OSA newsletter about how much a determined few can accomplish? We met Matt Ferro, a student at FSU, Tallahassee at a pro-life conference. After learning about OSA Neighborhood visits to abortionists he asked if we would join him on his first neighborhood visit. A killer doctor was hiding in plain sight in Jacksonville. None of his clients or neighbors in Jacksonville knew that he drove three hours on Sunday to kill babies in Tallahassee. Matt drove three hours to Jacksonville, three of us from Orland/Melbourne drove three hours to join him and Matt became Abortionist Todd Rasner’s worst nightmare.

The abortionist asked Matt to come into his office and talk one on one. Telling Matt that “I knew you would show up some day,” Rasner made all the excuses that pro-abortion people use for shedding innocent blood but Matt would not be moved. He stood his ground and politely but firmly reminded Rasher of how God saw abortion and asked him to please stop.

We just learned that he did stop! Abortion will end when the Church of Jesus Christ says it will end. The Church is not a building it is people – people like Matt who stand firmly on God’s word and say “No. not in my town!!” How encouraging!!

Incredible Story – the Saints in Denver!

This is an amazing yet very sad story about law enforcement, the media in our nation, and what they attempt to do to those saints who stand for Christ and the lives of His precious preborn children.  Jo Scott wrote this story which exposes the real behind the scenes truth of what happened at this high pro-file physical assault on Everett Stadig, 69 years old, and a great friend of Jesus and His preborn children.  It has been picked up by several different media outlets.

The providential hand of God at work in history!
