Dear Champion of the Lord and the Preborn,

Our newest book is going out and we are already receiving word the impact it is having upon those who have read it. In this, we rejoice. We pray the Lord continues to use the book to encourage, inspire, and convict people to repent and bring forth fruits meet for repentance.

Abortion Violation Testimonies

A year or so ago, I read a book called the “Kingdom Leadership Institute Manual,” by Rusty Thomas. That book impacted me in many ways – least of all my determination to take the Gospel outside the 4 walls of the Church and home study groups where it seems to be kept from the public. And now I am reading his newest book, “Abortion Violation,” and once again I feel the same conviction regarding me (and the rest of the Church) and the proclamation of the Gospel outside the four walls along with militant opposition to the slaughter of the unborn (by preaching the Gospel).

I said when I finished his first book that I “wandered through the mind of a genius.” (Editors note: God help us) And Rev. Rusty has not disappointed with his new book…God has certainly appointed the man for a time such as this. What Ray Comfort is to open-air preachers, Rev. Rusty Thomas is to the Abolition movement. He has been doing abolition work before the abolition movement started using the title “Abolition.” -Steve Bauer

Abolitionist Society of Tulsa

I was introduced to Rusty Thomas a few years ago & his ministry to the pre-born shattered my perception given to me by the media and culture. I highly recommend you follow his ministry. His new book, “Abortion Violation” is now out. I had an opportunity prior to printing to see this book & I believe it will quickly become the “must have” book for Christians on this subject.

-Abolitionist Society of Tulsa, Travis Yates

Brother Travis Yates wasted no time after the Lord sent him out to his local abortion mill recently in Tulsa, OK. The following is the letter he sent out to certain churches in his city.

Dear Pastor,

As you well know, the United States has entered into the 40th anniversary of the Roe v. Wade decision that institutionalized abortion-on-demand in our nation. For 40 years, the American church has been largely silent at the cost of over 55 million babies being legally murdered at the hands of abortionists and their clientele. We recognize that abortion is not a political issue or a social issue, rather it is a sin issue and therefore a Gospel issue, and that makes it the business of the Church.

The Abolitionist Society of Tulsa is a local chapter of the larger Abolish Human Abortion movement. We are members of local churches and our Director is specifically under the authority of his local church, Calvary Baptist Church (Sand Springs). We exist to abolish human abortion in the state of Oklahoma through the preaching of the Gospel of Jesus Christ, loving our neighbors as ourselves through assistance, and exposing the works of darkness by engaging the culture of death about the reality of abortion. In this, we are obeying Christ’s command to make disciples and teaching them to obey all that Christ has commanded (Matthew 28:18-20; Mark 12:30-31; Ephesians 5:11).

We understand the only way that human abortion will be criminalized in our state is if the Church wakes up to the reality of legalized child killing in America, children who have been sovereignly made in the image of God. Dr. John MacArthur recently sat down with Dr. R.C. Sproul to discuss the national tragedy of abortion-on-demand, and stated:

Our goal has to be to awaken the church.

We emphatically agree, which is why we are praying for and actively pursuing the awakening of the true Church of Jesus Christ to be a prophetic voice in this culture of death, and to engage in the spiritual warfare of preaching the Gospel and loving our neighbors as ourselves in a society that celebrates the shedding of innocent blood.

As the Body of Christ, we must do more to offer real hope and real assistance to abortion-minded and abortion-determined parents who are enslaved to sin. We, therefore, desire to understand what you are currently doing in your local community to be salt and light in the evil realm of abortion.

The late Francis Schaeffer somberly noted:

Every abortion clinic should have a sign over it saying: “This facility open by permission of the local church”

We invite you to take 15 minutes to watch a short film depicting Gospel-centered abortion mill ministry: 40 Years of the Smallest Stories Left Untold

We pray you will indeed answer the call to be faithful in obedience to the 1st and 2nd Greatest Commandments to include loving our pre-born neighbors being carried off to the slaughter (Proverbs 24:11).

The Abolitionist Society of Tulsa has numerous resources to help you become active in the abolition of human abortion. We invite you to our official website to begin understanding the work of abolitionism, and pray you will answer the call as soon as possible. We would love to list your church on our Church Support page.

Over 7,000 babies are slaughtered each year in Oklahoma or the equivalent of one Sandy Hook 1st grade classrooms every day of the year. One out of three pregnant women ends the lives of their children. Isn’t 40 years worth of innocent blood on our hands enough? Won’t you rise up to expose these works of darkness and proclaim the only Hope and Solution to the greatest evil of our age?

We eagerly await your response and look forward to working with you to the glory of our Great God and King, the Lord Jesus Christ.

Sincerely,

The Abolitionist Society of Tulsa

Please continue to pray that our book will spread far and wide and produce the good fruit of God’s Kingdom advancing to defeat the culture of death in Jesus’ name!

Thank God for Rachel’s Park Memorial. ~ Flip

Rededication Service, Sunday, March 24, 2013

 Rededication Svc

Thanks to all who came out and helped rededicate Rachel’s Park Memorial to the Lord and His little ones. It was a special time together. We had folks come from out of state to participate. Rich Hagen and his precious family came from Little Rock, AR and are desiring to establish a Rachel’s Park Memorial in their state. This would be a great blessing as we seek the Lord to establish one park in every state of the union.

Another brother from Little Rock, Thom Huey, drove a big rig, an 18 wheeler, to participate. He filmed a tour of the park and the entire ceremony. Most important, he came to mourn the loss of his child to abortion and honor her memory. The following is the plaque that will be soon mounted on the Wall of Remembrance.

Suzie Huey

Another family desires to do the same and we will soon mount another plaque. The following is the message delivered as we asked God to hallow these grounds with His Holy Presence.

First of all, I would like to thank all those locally and throughout our nation who helped with the funds, materials, and labor to restore Rachel’s Park Memorial. This last desecration was the third time our park was vandalized. It was by far the worst attack. The silver lining in this last assault was there seemed to be more of an outrage in the community and a response of compassion to restore the park. We thank the Lord that what the enemy means for harm; God can restore and turn to the good.

In 1991, there were more than 2000 free standing abortion mills defiling our land. Today, there are about 600 remaining still advancing the American holocaust under our watch. Roe vs. Wade is still considered the law of the land and yet abortion is going the way of every other tyranny of man. How is this possible? Gentle Christian living out their faith at the gates of hell knowing they shall not prevail against the church of the living God.

At some point, America will have to come to grips with our complicity and complacency concerning this grave evil against our own defenseless children. Many will be reminded of this horrendous sin against God and their brutal crime against their own nameless sons and daughters. Thus this deep, festering wound that has polluted and defiled our beloved land must be adequately cared for.

If you have your Bibles turn to Jeremiah 6:14. God’s words states, “They have also healed the hurt of my people slightly, Saying, ‘Peace, peace!’ When there is no peace.” Another translation reads, “They dress the wound of my people as though it were not serious.” This was Jeremiah’s rebuke to the ministry of his day. Israel had plunged into perverse idolatry, which included child sacrifice, the shedding of innocent blood and the sexual immorality that inspired this pagan practice. The nation was hemorrhaging and too many people thought it was no big deal, when in fact; it truly was a big deal.

Rachel’s Park Memorial was built to treat the deadly wound of abortion that has afflicted our nation and its people. We did not want to be found in a position that Jeremiah described in his day. We wanted to adequately care for the wound that has savaged our nation for the last 40 years.

There are many post-abortive families who have availed themselves of this park. Most of them had a similar response, “We had nowhere to go.” Without human agencies, people burdened with the sin and crime of abortion come here and instinctively know they can grieve and mourn the loss of their children. There is testimony after testimony that details how God literally knocked folks to the dirt of this park. On these grounds, people have wept, wailed, and repented of murdering their children in the name of choice. When they stood up God blessed them with forgiveness, salvation, and deliverance. We pray these testimonies will continue as we seek with God’s aid to establish one park in every state of the union.

The Four-Fold Pillars of Rachel’s Park Memorial

We first dedicated this park to the Lord and His little ones 13 years ago. Today, we are having a rededication service. It is important, therefore to publicly acknowledge the four-fold vision and mission of Rachel’s Park Memorial. The four pillars are:

First, Rachel’s Park Memorial exists to bring glory, honor, and majesty to the true and living God; God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Ghost, the God revealed in the Holy Bible. This park acknowledges Him as the Creator, Sustainer, Giver, and Governor of all life. It is our desire that this park uphold His revelation, truth, and laws that promote the sacredness of life and the protection they afford as opposed to the lie of the “quality of life” that has been utilized to exterminate millions of tiny American citizens in the womb of their mothers.

Second, Rachel’s Park Memorial seeks to advance the Gospel of the Kingdom of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. To fulfill the Great Commission that calls upon all true believers to disciple the nations, baptize them, and to make sure the nations (which include America) keep the commandments of God (Matthew 28:18-20). To the glorious end that man might come to know the saving grace and knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ by repenting of their sins and rebellion against God’s loving rule.

Third, the Park honors and memorializes our nameless sons and daughters that have been cruelly lost through the American holocaust called abortion. It is consecrated to restore the humanity, the dignity, and the personhood of our precious children America has denied since the infamous Roe v. Wade Supreme Court Decision on January 22nd, 1973. Thus, Rachel’s Park Memorial will become a resting-place for the innocent victims of abortion, prayerfully, in each state of the Union.

Lastly, RPM will seek God’s grace to provide post-abortive ministry for families that have been devastated by this grievous sin against God and this crime against humanity. Prayerfully, the park will provide for those who grieve the loss of their children a solemn place to receive God’s forgiveness, healing, and deliverance in Jesus’ name!

This past Sunday Rachael’s Memorial Park was rededicated to our Lord Jesus and continues its wonderful and liberating ministry to those who have killed their children through abortion.  So many have come to know the freedom found only in Christ as this Memorial ministers to those who have been involved in the horror of abortion.

Rejoice with us brothers and sisters. ~ Flip

Abortion Mill in Huntsville, Alabama, is being exposed for it filthy conditions and unlicensed personnel.  It is absolutely amazing that these great “gates of hell” have escaped even superficial inspection by the Alabama State Health Department over the years – but, No More!  Praise the living God! ~ Flip

Little Rock, Arkansas, is the home of Arkansas’s last remaining free standing abortion mill.  Arkansas may become the first abortion free state in America if the saints in Little Rock have their way.  Here is the latest Gospel sortie being flown directly into the gates of hell in Little Rock.    ~ Flip

Our new “GONE” billboard campaign has launched in a city that serves as a pivotal center of civil rights history—Little Rock. Partnering with Arkansas Black Americans for Life (a chapter of Arkansas Right to Life), The Radiance Foundation has placed billboards in Little Rock and North Little Rock that claim: “GONE. 15 million and counting. TooManyAborted.com”

In light of the failure of black “civil rights” organizations to protect the Posterity of the black community, GONE continues to hammer away at today’s population control movement that brazenly celebrates the destruction of “unwanted” human life.

The press release, billboard artwork and new video are here: http://www.toomanyaborted.com/little-rock-gets-rocked-with-the-truth/

Amazing things are happening in Arkansas, legislatively, as hearts and minds are engaged in grassroots efforts.

Please pray that this campaign continues to awaken the public to the needless tragedy of abortion.

Blessings,

Ryan Bomberger

We are looking forward to being with all the saints in Connecticut for the big wedding that will be taking place up there.  Kelley Vasquez and Isaac Yoder are going to be married March 9, 2013.  What a time this is going to be.  What a great God we serve!  What a wonderful idea marriage is for the blessing, protection, and procreation of mankind.  Aren’t you glad God is the designer of marriage and not man?

Me too!  Here’s the latest from CT!  ~ Flip

Here is Mike Warren’s report of what is happening in our preparations for the National event In Rochester, New York. ~ Flip

 

Rescue Rochester Preparing the Way for Our National Event July 24-31, 2013

By Mike Warren

Rescue Rochester was blessed to have two of our favorite people with us for our annual pro-life banquet, Friday, March 1, 2013, Flip and Faye Benham.  We actually asked Flip and Faye to be with us before we realized that the Lord desired Rochester to be this year’s stop on the Operation Save America gospel train journey.  That’s right!  Rescue Rochester has invited Operation Save America to town July 24-31. And it promises to be a time when God amazes our city, as His power and grace is released at the abortion mills and the streets of Rochester, NY. We have already seen a peak of interest and the rumblings of anticipation as we have begun to make preparations.

Twelve area pastors and ministry leaders attended an information brunch hosted by Rescue Rochester and met with Flip, Jerry and I.  We shared a meal and the vision of OSA/ROC was presented as well as a glimpse of what can happen in a city where the church takes up its rightful position and begins to rebuild the walls of righteousness, justice and mercy in its locale.  Flip shared that we as the church are more than we have become.  He then presented an amazing thing that God has done in Charlotte, NC.  Go to www.Cities4Life.org  to view two amazing video clips regarding how churches ministering on site at abortion mills and through other ministries are being used to save and restore lives.

Later that evening, 90 people from various churches attended our annual banquet.  We heard an amazing song recorded back in the mid 80’s “Fight the Fight” featuring classic contemporary Christian musicians, like Annie Herring, 2 Chapter of Acts, Andre Crouch, Dallas Holmes, and Melody Green sing and call the church to stand for the babies and our nation.   It will be our theme song for the event in Rochester.  It is powerful.

Flip, used his favorite story of The Lion King, to remind us, 21st Century American Christians, that we are more than we have become.  Just as the men of Ephraim (Psalm 78:9-11) neglected to use the bows they were armed with; so the American church has neglected to fight and contend for the gospel and righteousness at the exposed places in our society.  As Christians, we are called to fight and contend from the position of victory, for Jesus has already accomplished it.  That’s right.  We are called to do what has already been done.  We are called to, “do the done!”  That is the message we celebrate every Easter Season!  And this victory of Calvary and the Resurrection is revealed when Christians willingly show up at abortion mills and other exposed places of sin in our cities.  We win one life at a time.

God has given us the scripture to set our hopes on for this national event and we pray that you will join us in Rochester, NY this July 24-31st.  Let’s see what our God will do!  Is 60;1-3 Arise, shine; for thy light is come, and the glory of the Lord is risen upon thee.For, behold, the darkness shall cover the earth, and gross darkness the people: but the Lord shall arise upon thee, and his glory shall be seen upon thee.And the Gentiles shall come to thy light, and kings to the brightness of thy rising.”

It’s our turn now!

Yours for the Least of These,

Mike Warren & Jerry Crawford

Great News!  With the help of Almighty God and a little help from “His” friends Rachael’s Park Memorial has been restored and is ministering the freedom and forgiveness that only Jesus can give even during the renovation.

Praise the Lord! ~ Flip

 

Restoration of Rachael’s Park Memorial

Rachel's Park 1

We are almost done with the complete restoration of Rachel’s Park Memorial. A special thanks to Pastor Dale Sochia, who traveled all the way from New Orleans to do the lion’s share of the work. He had the tools and the know how to help beautify and restore the park. I want to thank Carolyn Knowles, Jeff and Daniel Matthews and Brother Thomas from our church, Grace Church, who helped with the labor. I also want to thank John Pisciotta, Pro-life Waco, Donna Garner, King Jesus Ministries, and Bob Eoff for their financial support to help purchase the materials. 

There was another precious couple who came out to help and the Lord did a miraculous work. I did not know they were post-abortive till they came to one of the features of the park, The Wall of Remembrance. As they looked upon the plaques, the woman began to weep. The husband reached out to comfort his wife as they both broke. I literally felt the Spirit of God fall upon them and backed off till His work was done. As a result, they are contemplating on receiving further ministry from the park.

This special event took place while working on the park. It was another sign from God on how special Rachel’s Park Memorial is and how the Lord uses it for His glory and the benefit of those devastated by the sin and crime of abortion.

Most of the crosses are repaired and back in the ground. All the poles surrounding the park are secure. Prayerfully, no more cars will be able to run roughshod over this sacred ground again. To those interested, we raised $675.00 of the $2000.00 needed to purchase the materials to restore the park. We still need $1,325.00 to pay it off.

Rochester, New York, is this year’s destination for our National Event, July 24-31, 2013.  The Governor of New York, Andrew Cuomo, is proposing the most draconian, devil inspired abortion bill ever seen on this continent. It is called the “Reproductive Health Act.”  This latest report just in from Chet Gallagher and our good friend Chris Slattery in New York City.

 Read, then prepare yourselves for battle as we run to the roar in the mighty Name of Jesus in Rochester, New York, this summer.  ~ Flip

 

New York (ABORTION) Giants are not sleeping!

My friend, Chris Slattery, just sent out a sobering warning as to the increasingly gigantic challenges New York State prolifers continue to face I have included a short edit of his e-mail warning (below) because I want all of us to know the kind of territory we are running headlong into this summer for our OSA National event in Rochester, NY.

I am forwarding this to provoke us to love and good works, not to put fear in our hearts. Let us remember how very efficiently our One King, Jesus, will always use the least of us to even dispatch giants!

All we need to do is “Just Show Up!” so that “Christ will shine on you.”

Now is a good time to communicate with as many friends as you can to encourage them to run to this “land of the giants” with the rest of us in July.

Ephesians 5:11-16 – “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 on you.  Be very careful, then, how you live–not as unwise but as wise, making the most of every opportunity, because the days are evil.”

Wake up church we’re called and equipped to be Giant Slayers!

 Read, pray, come…

 Bless you,

 Rev. Chet and JoAnn Gallagher

JUST SHOW UP MINISTRIES

 

NY to Pass Nation’s Worst Abortion Bill

It’s the worst abortion law EVER to be posed, even worse than Roe v. Wade!

…And New York Governor Cuomo promised to pass it!

Imagine a world where a teenager who is perfectly healthy and nine months pregnant ……can walk into an unregulated abortion facility without her parent’s prior knowledge or consent,… have her innocent unborn baby brutally killed by an unlicensed abortionist,…and she doesn’t pay a dime-her parents’ health insurance covers it.

Not only that, but the local Catholic hospital is now fined or shut down, and the medical practitioners who worked there are stripped of their licenses because they refused to perform such abortions!

…And not only that, but agencies like our life-saving EMC-Frontline Pregnancy Centers would be outlawed as “discriminatory” for favoring childbirth over abortion!

Could this ever happen? Oh yes, and sooner than you might think. This is the nightmarish world of “all abortion all the time” medicine that Governor Andrew Cuomo just announced he will push through in the coming weeks. He has put his full weight behind the “Reproductive Health Act”, which is by far THE most radical pro-abortion legislation ever to hit a state government, anywhere in the country.

I’m not exaggerating about what this law will do. I wish I were.  Right now the state of New York limits abortion on demand to babies younger than 24 weeks. But that protection-and so much more-will come screeching to a halt if this evil bill, much like the one introduced by pro-abort Governor Eliot Spitzer in 2007, gets passed.

Even in a state like New York with twice the abortion rate of the national average, this law is guaranteed to make abortions more common, and more dangerous for child AND mother, as it’s possible for them to be. The sickening Philadelphia abortionist Kermit Gosnell who goes on trial for murder next week, and Leroy Carhart, who just killed a 29 year old NY woman and her 33 week unborn child, in a botched abortion, would be free and clear under a law like this.

The Supreme Court interpreted Roe v. Wade to allow some restrictions on abortion. But we’re now looking at a no-holds-barred, all-out attack against the unborn because this law: 

1. Could mandate abortion coverage in all insurance plans.

2. Could compel Catholic charities and schools to counsel and refer for abortion.

3. Could compel Catholic hospitals, to allow abortions on their premises.

4. Lifts the current age restriction on the purchase of the so-called “morning-after pill” at neighborhood drug stores, allowing girls as young as 11 to get the drugs without a doctor’s prescription or a parent’s knowledge.

5. By repealing the requirement in current law that only a licensed physician may perform an abortion, it endangers women’s lives.

6. Removes from the penal code criminal liability for the physician should the woman die of abortion malpractice. Would endanger maternity and prenatal care programs, which could be ruled “discriminatory” for favoring childbirth over abortion (another attack on our outreaches at EMC-Frontline Pregnancy Centers, which provide prenatal care).

If this law passes, we can expect the worst of the butchers, the late-term abortionists, to start setting up shop all over our city (already the “Abortion Capital of America”) to destroy even viable, fully formed babies. And-if you can believe it-face no risks of criminal penalty, even if the mothers were to die!

I dread to see what things will look like here if this law passes. It makes my blood run cold. As bad as it is already-and it is very bad-our city quickly could get much worse.

Chris Slattery
