Below is a report from Nicholas Jackson, one of the young men involved in our National Event in Columbus, Ohio, in July, 2004.  Nicholas reports that another abortion mill, Capital Care  in the city of Columbus, Ohio, has shut its doors for good.  To God be the glory!

Dear Champion of the Lord and the Preborn,

Another one bites the dust! To those of you who remember our Walk Across America in 2004, our national event that year was held in Columbus, Ohio. A brother who participated in that event just contacted me with this note and article. God is watching over His Word to perform it, time and time again. ~ Rev. Rusty Lee Thomas

From Nicholas A. Jackson, “The Lord is moving in Ohio! Thank You Rusty for helping spur the hearts of the saints in Columbus when OSA was here several years ago! Here is fruit!” The following is part of the report.

An abortion clinic in Columbus, Ohio will be closing this week, according to local pro-life activists.

Capital Care has reportedly been plagued with decreased business and financial problems. They recently cut back clinic hours due to difficulty keeping abortionists. An increasingly strong pro-life presence in Central Ohio is credited with contributing to the decision to close.

The two abortionists known to work at Capital Care are Harley Blank and Thomas Michaelis. Blank, who also works at the Founder’s Women’s Health Center abortion clinic in Columbus was honored by Planned Parenthood earlier this year for his 30-year career as an abortionist in Columbus.

Michaelis, who now works at the Capital Care Network abortion clinic in Toledo, has a history of a different sort. In 1991, he was convicted of two counts of Attempted Gross Sexual Imposition, one count of Voyeurism, and one count of Public Indecency. The convictions involved incidents where Michaelis engaged in sexual predation on minor girls.

 Chet Gallagher’s lovely wife Jo Ann, will be having major back surgery beginning June 11, 2012, and has given us the privilege to lift her up in prayer, asking the Great Physician Himself to bring healing to her.  She is an absolutely wonderful lady.  Many of you met her during our National Event in Las Vegas.

“And the prayer offered in faith will make the sick person well…”  James 5:15.    

 

Dear Friends,

It is wonderful to have so many of you still praying for a miracle just as we are! The idea of Jo Ann having her entire back “fused” is daunting to say the least. It would be more than a little intimidating without the supernatural faith and peace that only a loving, Father God can and does provide.

Thanks for your patience with me…especially. I returned home just over a week ago and have attended to little else except addressing the needs of my wife and making preparation in our home for what lay ahead.

Until Jo Ann is on the other side of this, and our daily life returns to normal, please understand where my focus must be, especially in the immediate and several weeks ahead. Though the situation is serious, it is not grim, and my wife remains confident that Yeshua is going to use all of this for her good and His glory!

There is still much for me to do before her surgery and I am making those things the priority. Suffice it to say there are preparations to be made for both the physical and emotional challenges ahead. So, please excuse me if I have been (and will likely remain) unable to respond and follow through in a timely manner with other matters. This will include traveling in ministry for the next three (plus) months. We are trusting God for every need to be met and know He will certainly delight in answering your prayers, as well as ours!

We were at Jo Ann’s orthopedic surgeon, Dr. McNulty’s office, for much of this morning. Jo Ann asked the doctor, “How long will the rods be?” and in a moment of great humility he responded by saying, “Would you ask Van Gough how much paint he would be using on his next masterpiece?”

There is agreement, after consultation with the cardiologist (who says she has a great heart), a neurologist, another orthopedic surgeon and her own personal physician, that the full, extensive, two day, back surgery is both necessary and immediate. She will begin on June 11 and surgery #2 ends June 13. The first day addresses repairing her lower back (an invasive procedure requiring entering from the front of her abdomen to insert and attach various pins and “cages” to the damaged lumbar region.) After one day, then her second surgery addresses the upper portion of her back which will be fused with two rods attached to her vertebrae.

She will be in University Medical Center (certainly the most advanced and equipped) from June 11 until June 18th or 20th. A worse case scenario may require another week of hospitalization for rehab but that is something we are praying against. We hope, instead, she’ll be home recovering much, much earlier than expected.

I was hoping to bring Jo Ann fresh flowers daily but she said that, although cut flowers are nice, she would prefer “living” hanging outdoor plants because she could see them from our bedroom window and will tend to them very soon after her miraculous recovery! 

Bless you all!

Chet Gallagher

A pastor who has served with us a long time has written a powerful piece that was published in the Jackson Hole News & Guide. It will be published in the Jackson Hole Daily today (Wednesday 6/5). Here it is:  Wyoming – Letter to the editor 2012

The Name of Jesus and the cause of His precious preborn children was “shouted from the house top” that all the world might know.

Hello there,

I am a resident of Jackson Hole Wyoming.  Although I do not live in the town of Jackson, I live in the area of Jackson Hole.  I am happy that you have chosen to stand up for the aborted babies and make a stance.

I wanted to try to stop and visit with you all a bit however, on my only trip through town during your visit to JH I was short of time.  I do want to tell you that I think you are wrong when you say that Dr. Blue is the only abortionist in Wyoming.  My daughter-in-law worked at an OB/GYN in Jackson and they also perform “the procedure” up to a certain amount of weeks into the pregnancy.  My guess is that if this other OB/GYN does this then there may be others in JH as well as many throughout the state of Wyoming.  Especially in larger cities such as Casper and Cheyenne.  I don’t know how you would find out about those…but it’s food for thought.

Thank you for speaking truth in our community.

Sincerely,
Karen

Flip’s Response:

Dear Karen,

 Thank you so very much for your encouragement.  It is all the more precious when it comes from a heart that hungers after truth.  We will never end all abortion in the state of Wyoming any more than we will end all sin in the world. Jesus came to save the whole world, but not everyone in the world is saved.     

 We have no doubt that there are others who do abortions (back alley) in Wyoming.  Sin will always be with us wherever we are on this earth.  If there are women who get pregnant, there will be those more than willing to be the devil’s “useful idiots” and kill their children  for their own profit.  This is the reality of living in a sin sick world where the “world, the flesh, and the devil” are having their way in rebellion against Almighty God.

God’s answer to this dilemma (sin) is Jesus.  He is the only One who can Save us from sin.  Jesus lived a life in perfect obedience to His Father.  He was, is, and forever will be sinless.  Yet He paid the ultimate price for sin (the wages of sin is death), not for Himself but for us.  “Greater love has no one than this, that he lay down his life for his friends.” John 15:13.  He bore my sin and yours on that old rugged cross that you and I might live for Him and tell the whole world that there is an answer for sin – Jesus!

“God made Him who knew no sin to become sin for us that we might become the righteousness of God.”  2 Corinthians 5:21. 

Brent Blue is the only advertising, practicing, owner of a free standing abortion mill in the state of Wyoming.  He is very public and proud about murdering the most defenseless among us.  Brent has no concern over God’s precious preborn children who have “no voice” (unless we give them one) and “no choice” as to whether they live or die.  No one else in Wyoming does what Brent does. 

It is the exposing of Brent Blue’s greed and sin that has so upset the fine folks in Jackson Hole.  Why?  Because it exposes the sin of Jackson Hole.  Never mind that Brent is actually killing children, just don’t tell us about it and get that sign out of our face.  Unfortunately, this response has been called by God’s “church” in Jackson, “Compassion, Civility, and Love.”  God calls it hate!  “Do not hate your brother in your heart.  Rebuke your neighbor frankly so you will not share in his guilt.”  Leviticus 19:17.  

It is therefore up to us then, who know the truth about the value of life and the preborn child, to be a voice for those who have no voice and are being led away to the slaughter (Proverbs 24: 11-12).  It is up to us to expose the sin of Brent Blue and of the city of Jackson, because the church won’t.  If we love our neighbor we must confront him in his sin that he might repent and turn to God through Jesus Christ our Lord.  It is love that brought us to Jackson, Wyoming.  It is love for Brent Blue, love for the babies he murders, love for the moms and dads he rips off, and love for you that we come to your city.

Since God’s “church” in Jackson will not “make itself of no reputation” and stand in the gap for Brent, these preborn children, or their mothers and fathers – we must!

When Brent Blue stops killing children, Wyoming has the opportunity to become the first abortion free state in America.  That does not mean that there will be no abortions done in Wyoming.  Mothers and fathers in sin can always find some pathetic doctor or nurse to kill their child if that is their desire.  But Wyoming will be, as far as it is up to her – abortion free!

God bless you Karen,

Last year we held our National Event inOrlando,Florida.  We faced huge obstacles, not the least of which was motel after motel telling us – No!  God brought us to a motel in the “hood.”  Exactly the right spot.  Close to all the abortion mills.  Close to Pastor Victor Morgan and our wonderful host church.  Close to the Orange County Jail where Casey Anthony was incarcerated and released.  Close to the Orange County Court House where the civil trial of abortionist James Pendergraft took place.  He was found guilty and given a 36 million dollar fine.  Talk about visualizing abortionists on trial – we were actually able to witness it.  We were right where God wanted us.  To God be the Glory!

The OSA Orlando event was a rock that, when thrown into the city ofOrlando, sent out Gospel shock waves that traveled far and wide.  Many of the folks working in the hotel gave their hearts to Christ.  Since last July, many who came to the Lord are now settled in home churches.  Pastor Victor Morgan, our host Pastor, is emerging as one of the preeminent leaders in the fight against abortion.  Abortionist James Pendergraft is under more criminal investigation and is in grave danger of losing his medical license permanently.  Abortionist Scott Hye (we visited him in his neighborhood last year) has announced that he will cease child-killing when his contract expires June 5.  John Barros, the faithful sidewalk counselor who confronted Scott with the claims of Christ day after day, continues to witness to him to get right with Jesus.

When the theology of heaven becomes biography in the streets all hell breaks loose and all heaven comes down.  God is just looking for an excuse to show up.  Will you give Him one in Charlotte, July 21-28?

See you at the gates,

Flip

We will be exposing Stericycle here in North Carolina in Haw River during our National Event here in Charlotte July 21-28, 2012.  The Stericycle plant in Haw River is the largest  baby incinerating plant in the country.    ~ Flip

Stericycle is a company that picks up and incinerates bio waste from medical facilities such as hospitals and  doctor’s offices.

 However, they also help our nation’s abortion providers to hide their heinous crimes by hauling away aborted children from abortuaries and incinerating them with the rest of the trash they accumulate on their routes.

 Just outside of Salt Lake  City, Utah, is a quiet suburban, stereotypical community complete with frolicking children and white picket fences.  As you leave the main drag to enter the Foxboro housing development located on the corner and backed up to the neighborhood is a Stericycle incineration plant that facilitates 8 states, CA, CO, AZ, OR, WA, MT, UT and ID.  The most recent abortion statistics are from 2008 when California alone did 214,190 abortions and the 7 the other states combined reported 80,607 abortions.  That’s 294,797 children thoughtlessly killed and incinerated at the Utah location.

As I stood and watched the Stericycle smokestacks  pump their putrid tribute to  unloved and fatherless children into the Foxboro development my heart broke.  I couldn’t help but think that, as a nation, we deserve to bathe in the smoke and ashes of the innocent children that we throw away.

Early Monday morning, May 21, 2012, we pulled a truth truck in front of the Utah Stericycle incineration plant to expose their nasty secret.  We canvased the neighborhood with flyers informing the residents that the ashes of innocent babies extinguished in the abortion mills of 8 states are falling on them.  Some residents were mortified, others just shrugged their shoulders.  We’re praying that someone will care enough to do something.  If we can snuff out the smoke stacks of America’s Auschwitz ovens it will be harder for the abortionists to hide their sin.  And one step closer to ending the holocaust.

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’s  Jill’s story!
