Many of you know Mark and Lisa Metzger and their wonderful family.  They have been such a blessing to mothers in crisis pregnancy situations and children “waiting to be born” in our city.  For the past three years they, and several other families, have been allowing the theology of heaven to become biography at the gates of hell here at Charlotte’s three local abortion mills, and hundreds of children have been saved. 

Not only that, they have found that the Gospel ministry at the gates of hell is the very best place to train up gentle warriors for King Jesus!

Here is a three minute documentary done by Channel 9 WSOC NEWS this past Friday afternoon February, 22, 2013,uncovering the absolute filth of “A Preferred Women’s Health Clinic,” an abortion mill in the Charlotte area. It is eye-opening and stomach-turning to say the very least.

How God’s heart must ache at the murder of His precious preborn children. ~ Flip

“Our country is in danger, but not to be despaired of.  Our enemies are numerous and powerful; but we have many friends determined to be free.  And heaven and earth will aid the resolution.  On you depend the fortunes of America.  You are to decide the important question, on which rest the happiness and liberty of millions yet unborn. Act worthy of yourselves.”   –Joseph Warren, Boston Massacre Oration, 1775

“If revival is being withheld from us it is because some idol remains still enthroned; because we still insist in placing our reliance in human schemes; because we still refuse to face the unchangeable truth that, ‘It is not by might, but by My Spirit.’” – Jonathan Goforth (February 10, 1859 – October 8, 1936, (Missionary to China)

Invitation to OSA National Event, July 24th -31st, Rochester,NY 

Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ:  Jerry Crawford and I are delighted to extend an invitation to you and yours to join us in contending for the Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ and for Life in Rochester, NY this July 24-31st. For forty years the American Church has wandered in the wilderness, seeing a rise of Godlessness and 55 million children destroyed as a result of the United States forsaking our Biblical heritage and foundations.  Yet the promise of Isaiah 60: 1-3 rings true.  “Arise, shine, for your light has come, and the glory of the Lord rises upon you.See, darkness covers the earth and thick darkness is over the peoples, but the Lord rises upon you and his glory appears over you. Nations will come to your light, and kings to the brightness of your dawn.”

Could it be that OSA Rochester, NY will mark our passing through the Jordan and into the promised land of renewed hope, renewed righteousness and restoration?  Come and be a part of what God will do!  Rochester has been the site of historic revival during the C. G. Finney’s ministry in the mid 1800’s.  Rochester was a vital station on the Underground Railroad and the home of former slave, freedman, abolitionist leader, and Christian, Fredrick Douglass.  It’s time for the church to arise and contend again! It’s our turn now!

Mike Warren and Jerry Crawford, Rescue Rochester

 

Just one more nail in the coffin of “A Perferred Women’s Health Clinic,” an abortion mill, here in the Charlotte area.  Heatherlee Finn, a faithful sidewalk counselor, reported this mill to the Health Department as a result of another of a long line of ambulance calls to this location to rush mothers to the emergency rooms of local hospitals.  The butchery and filth of this place would be more than enough to close it if it were anything other than an abortion mill.  The abortion industry in America has won for itself “most favored business” status and therefore can continue operation no matter what the health department finds.  If this report were issued for any other restaurant, veterinary clinic, or business, it would be shut down until the situation was remedied.

The uncaring and inept abortionists, Ron Vermani of (“…You adopt those ugly black babies…”) fame, and Jimmy Isaac Newton, a sexual pervert cited on two occasions for sexual assault, and you have a recipe for disaster.  Mr. Vermani was fired by Presbyterian Hospital for botching so many surgeries while a resident there.  He has become a very angry and embittered man and has claimed that, because of What Presbyterian Hospital did to him, he “…no longer delivers pretty babies anymore…” 

He is right!  He delivers only dead babies.

The young ladies that work at this mill are not nurses nor are they nurse’s aids.  They are simply young ladies, some who have graduated from high school, who have been trained only by what they learned in high school.  They earn minimum wage and are simply used as migrant workers by an industry that cares nothing about them.  The abortion industry is an abomination that not only kills our youngest and weakest but makes freaks out of God precious people who are employed by it.  ~ Flip

 

These two videos (the first 3 ½ minutes, the second 15 minutes) were a product of the 40th Memorial of Roe v. Wade, put on by Cities4Life in Charlotte, North Carolina.  They were financed by the gracious gifts and talents of several Christian Ministries and businesses in our area and one in particular.  The first video is simply, “Answer the Call!”  It doesn’t need an explanation.

The second video gives you a blow by blow description of what happens when a young lady gets pregnant and comes to an abortion mill here in the Charlotte area and runs into the theology of the church house becoming biography in the streets.  Those in this second video are all of our folks and it displays the wonderful resources we have here in Charlotte for ladies finding themselves in a crisis pregnancy.  It is awesome what God is doing in the city of Charlotte to enable the Church of Jesus Christ the opportunity to “plead the case of the fatherless to win it.”  Jeremiah 5:28. 

Last year there were 376 moms who chose life for their children at the three abortion mills in Charlotte.  So many also gave their hearts to Christ.  All to the glory of God!

Enjoy!   

Tentative Schedule for OSA’s States of Refuge Campaign 2013

(Notice: time and events are subject to change)

1) Jackson, Mississippi: We are inching closer to the first abortion Free State. We may need to go back like the minute men of old to help secure this victory. Be ready to move when the call is proclaimed.

2) National Event, July 14-20, 2013,  Rochester, NY: has been chosen for this year’s national event. Mike Warren and Jerry Crawford need our help to break up some strong demonic strongholds. They are praying that our coming will revive the church and the ministry needed to defeat child sacrifice in their communities.

3) Washington DC national call: When the firstfruits of the States of Refuge campaign comes to pass and the Lord secures the first abortion free state, we will give the call to come to Washington DC at the Lincoln Memorial for the national unveiling of the Emancipation Proclamtion for the Preborn Child. There may also be a meeting at the Capitol to unveil the scroll of signatures reminiscent of William Wilbeforce unveiling the signatures in Parliament calling for the end of slavery.

4) North Dakota and South Dakota, October: We are planning a regional event sometime in the fall that will cover two of the States of Refuge, North Dakota and South Dakota. North Dakota stands on the verge of passing a personhood amendment. A call to rescue may be in order. The two cities that house the death camps, Sioux Falls, South Dakota and Fargo, Noth Dakota are three and a half hours from each other.

5) There may be other opportunites this year, (Wichita, KS) but this covers most of the year. If you have any questions feel free to contact us. God bless you all as we run the race of faith together and trust the Lord to watch over his Word as we proclaim it throughout our nation in Jesus’ name!

Across our nation abortion mills are closing at a record pace.  Here is a quick story about the closing of an abortion mill in Greensboro, North Carolina.  Today, there is only one free standing abortion mill left in Greensboro.

Enjoy!  

Not only did they get a new bakery but they had two babies saved in January.  Here is their January report of what God does when His saints allow the theology of heaven to become biography in the streets of their cities.

Enjoy!

I just spoke with Dave this morning (8:00 AM. Our time, 7:00 AM. His time) Monday, February 11, 2013.  He is doing well.  The swelling is going down.  He says he feels great and already this morning he has been sharing the Gospel of Christ with everyone God gives him to speak to.  He has made known to all of the nurses that there will be, “No more shots given!”

I was greatly encouraged that the sunshine that is always so brightly manifest in his demented little personality has returned full strength.  Talking to him this morning was an absolute joy. It was like pulling the curtains back and experiencing the sunshine of God’s love flood over both of us as we chatted.

He is hoping to be out of the hospital today, but is not at all sure that this will happen.

Please keep him in your prayers.  We will keep you updated.

In Christian love,

Flip   

The folks in North Dakota are doing great work breaking from the failed incremental “pro-life” strategies of the past and unsheathing the Word of God through “Personhood.”  Declaring, as a state, that children in the womb are “persons” opens the door, under color of the law, to protect all preborn children from conception to birth and beyond.  It also opens the door for rescuing children being led away to the slaughter if the last remaining abortion mill in North Dakota should dare continue doing abortions.

Shout out to God with a voice of triumph!  When we do thing His Way, the gates of hell cannot prevail. ~ Flip

Note from Dr. Pat McEwen, February 11, 2013

North Dakota has passed a no exceptions Personhood Bill in the ND State Senate – The ND House will still have to vote on their version but the House is more prolife than the Senate.  The following is from our friend Dan Becker, Field Rep for Personhood USA and President of Georgia Right to Life.  Dan perfected his model of working with State legislators in Georgia to be truly pro-life not just pro-some life.

“ALL passed with NO exceptions! In fact last year’s Personhood Bill HB 1450 did have a Rape & Incest exception but we defeated 4 longtime Senators in the primary and nobody was willing to offer the exceptions again this year.  We direct mailed every voter in their district with a hard-hitting mail piece. The ND Senate Majority Leader was reported to admit it scared the rest of the Senators.  This is what I have been saying . . . the prolife movement needs to establish the standard and require all politicians to acknowledge.”

The Sword of the Spirit has been unsheathed in North Dakota and God is watching over His Word to perform it.  This was accomplished by changing the hearts of the legislators.  Now the battle for North Dakota is on.  Changing the hearts of the legislators is one step BUT we must change the hearts of the people of North Dakota or we will see delays and non -enforcement and all other tricks of the pro death agenda.  This change takes place, not in the halls of the legislature, but on the streets, in the market place and right at the gates of hell.  That is what we do best!  Will North Dakota be a State of Refuge?  We are calling to gather Jesus’ gentle warriors in October, 2013, to storm the gates of hell – see you there.

 

Here is what Gualberto Garcia Jones, Legal Counsel, Personhood USA, had to say about the ND senate victory:

North Dakota Takes A Major Step Toward History

Justice delayed is justice denied.

 

That pithy summary of all we hold to be true at Personhood USA has become our rallying cry. As the largest personhood organization in America, we have carried the fight to end abortion to all fifty states, and around the world. Our rally cry has particularly caught on in North Dakota where the state Senate has just passed a constitutional amendment to protect all life and a ban on abortion!

Several weeks ago North Dakota lawmakers introduced SB 2302, a bill that would establish that children in the embryonic stage must be treated ethically and with dignity. Today that bill passed and is headed to a vote in the North Dakota House of Representatives. While this is great news, it has set up a major battle in the state as the corrupt abortion industry and their allies in the unregulated fertility industry have let loose a cannonade of lies to intimidate pro-life legislators.

This is a battle that we welcome, and we wear the attacks from the abortion industry and their allies in North Dakota as a badge of honor! The pro-lifers in North Dakota supported by Personhood North Dakota have reshaped the public perception of abortion and elevated the sanctity of life.

Win or lose, one thing that you can be sure of is that we will continue to fight to put an end to abortion in the FlickertailState once and for all! As Winston Churchill said about Great Britain’s struggle against the Nazi’s in World War II, we say about the fight against the culture of death.:

“We shall fight on the beaches, we shall fight on the landing grounds, we shall fight in the fields and in the streets, we shall fight in the hills; we shall never surrender, and even if, which I do not for a moment believe, this island or a large part of it were subjugated and starving, then our Empire beyond the seas, armed and guarded by the British Fleet, would carry on the struggle, until, in Gods good time, the New World, with all its power and might, steps forth to the rescue and the liberation of the old.”
