As we are “…pleading the case of the fatherless to win it.”  Jeremiah 5:28, God is opening up the heavens and exposing the sin of abortion for what it really is.  As we are loosing the Word of God on earth, God is loosing His power from heaven.  “I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven; whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven.”  Matthew 16:19.  God has given us the keys – no one else can have them. ~ Flip

Here is Rusty’s report on the progress of our court case against the city of Jackson Wyoming.  Pastor flew to Cheyenne, Wyoming, to be present at the hearing.   ~ Flip

Dear Champion of the Lord and the Preborn,

Pastor and I had the blessing to be at the Wyoming Supreme Court with our wonderful attorney, Jack Edwards. He did a masterful job defending our rights, while dismantling the city of Jackson’s case against us.

It is amazing to consider that Operation Save America did a regional event in Jackson, WY and six months later it is still reverberating throughout this state. It continues to be front page news.

The city of Jackson was so concerned about this case going before the Wyoming Surpeme Court, they sent the top five leaders of their city to observe it. The mayor, city manger, city attorney who argued their case, and LT. Guillam who sought the TRO/injunction against us were present in the court room. Apparently, they are deeply concerned about the outcome of this case. They are either frightened by a lawsuit or intend to use it again to censor the Gospel light that shines upon the darkness of child-killing tolerated in their city.

As most of you know WY is one of the five states that makes up the States of Refuge campaign. Please continue to pray for this vision and mission. We will be going back to Wyoming and it would be a great blessing to see this TRo/injunction defeated in Jesus’ name!

Wyoming Supreme Court Considers Abortion Case

CHEYENNE, Wyo. (AP) – The town of Jackson violated anti-abortion protesters’ rights when it secured a court order prohibiting them from appearing on the town square, a lawyer told the Wyoming Supreme Court on Thursday.

Laywer Jack Edwards, representing the anti-abortion group Operation Save America, argued that it was improper for the town to secure a court order barring activists from appearing within two blocks of the town square in May. The town didn’t notify protesters beforehand that it was seeking the order.

“There are many procedural errors,” Edwards told the court. “To not rule on this would create a blueprint for the squelching of protected speech in the future.”

Audrey Cohen-Davis, lawyer for the town, argued Thursday that it was proper for the town to secure the restraining order from District Judge Timothy Day.

Cohen-Davis said city police feared possible violence if the protesters, who previously had been showing graphic signs of aborted fetuses around Jackson, came together on the town square with about 200 Boy Scouts and their families who were gathering for an annual auction of elk antlers.

“Parents taking their Boy Scouts to the Elkfest event did not expect to have a group subjecting their children to such material,” Cohen-Davis said.

Police arrested two anti-abortion protesters at the event.

Operation Save America, a national group, said it had picked Jackson for its anti-abortion campaign in an effort to make Wyoming the first state in which no doctors would provide abortions. The group targeted Dr. Brent Blue, a family practitioner, whom the group said is the only doctor in the state to offer abortions.

Justice E. James Burke questioned Cohen-Davis closely about the town’s failure to notify Operation Save America before seeking the court order.

Burke noted that the U.S. Supreme Court has said there’s no place in the law for issuing restraining orders without notice that deprive people of their basic freedoms guaranteed by the First Amendment unless there’s proof it was impossible to notify them and give them an opportunity to participate in the court hearing.

Cohen-Davis responded that she didn’t want Operation Save America protesters to know who she was. She said Jackson was in a very volatile situation when the protesters were in town.

“Isn’t our system sort of based on both sides having an opportunity to present their position to the court?” Burke asked.

Rusty Thomas of Waco, Texas, is assistant director of operations for Operation Save America. He and other members of the group attended Thursday’s court hearing in Cheyenne.

Speaking after the hearing, Thomas said the group had about 40 or 50 protesters in Jackson for five or six days in May. “We felt it was our duty as Christians to make that challenge,” he said.

Thomas said his group was in close contact with Jackson law enforcement during the protest, but received no advance notice the town was going to court to block its demonstration. “They did not make any attempts to tell us,” he said. “We were set up.”

Thomas said the group wants the Wyoming Supreme Court to issue an order saying what the town did was wrong. “What happens when we go back? And we do intend to go back,” Thomas said. “Are they going to pull this out and go after us in the future?”

The court took the case under advisement and will issue a written decision later.

Our witness in Jackson, Wyoming, as we brought the Gospel of Christ to the state’s only remaining abortionist and abortion mill, is still front page news in Jackson.  Can you imagine simple little Christians living out their faith in the streets of a city could create such a news story?  Well, yes if Almighty God is in it!   Enjoy and here is the link!      ~ Flip

 

The saints in Denver are having a huge impact for Jesus on everything that goes on in that city.  As a result, the devil is pushing back with all his might.  Too bad for him that his tiny little gates cannot prevail against the Church of Jesus Christ.  The city of Denver is now bringing out its great big “howitzers” to destroy Ken and Jo in legal shenanigans, both federal and state.  Little does Denver know that what the devil intends for evil, God will work for the good to bring about the salvation of many (Genesis 50:20). Enjoy!   ~ Flip

Hello All,

Here is an update on our Appeal from the Injunction to stay away from St. John’s Episcopal Church the largest Cathedral in Denver, which ordained a woman Priest on the Board of Planned Parenthood.  The Church supports abortion and the late term Abortionist Warren Hern and has a choir that is filed with homosexuals.  We have preached to men carrying purses to church and tell them to carry a Bible instead and read the Bible about Roman’s chapter

1.  During the Operation Save America event here in 2005 the Denver Police enforce this Injunction on all protester to stay away from the church.  We will have an Answer Brief by our Attorney Rebecca Messall in responds in 30 days, before going again to the Appeals Court then up to Colorado Supreme Court and then to the Supreme Court of the U.S. Please pray for her and Attorney Thomas Brejcha of the Thomas More Society that is helping with the costs, See our Opening Brief first.  We couldn’t go to the U.S. Supreme before, because it was Remanded back to the District Court to reduce the Injunction size, which it didn’t do much, so we have to fight it another time around. 

 ***See the last Attached Exhibit, “The Dark Side of Music at St. John’s Cathedral“, we were denied the right to picket near the church when the Homosexuals had the All Denver Gay Men’s Choir event at the church, because it was considered still a church event on the night of Friday, April the 13th, 2007.  They openly mocked God.     

We will have an update on our FACE Case with the U.S. Government on the sidewalk driveway area entrance of Planned Parenthood abortion mill, in the near future.

We are praying for the Pro-lifers in Miss. to get the Personhood Amendment passed on Nov. 8th, to shack this nation and Planned Parenthood.

God Bless!!!  Ken and Jo
 
Here are the documents from the case:

OSA-CT Street Report

August 2011 Stats for Bridgeport:
99 Babies were killed by surgical abortion (not counting medical and chemical abortions)
8 babies were spared
5 salvations (PTL! thank you Jesus! )

“The thief cometh not, but to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they may have it more abundantly.” John 10:10

This is a little boy, Jeremiah, saved at Planned Parenthood in New Haven. He has been given up for adoption to a Christian family! The most loving thing a mother can do when she feels she cannot handle another child is to give her baby to a loving family, instead of killing her baby in the womb at an abortion mill. I thank God that Jasmine did the right thing. Keep her in your prayers and all her other children. Evelyn, her mother, came to church with her three grandchildren.

Please pray for all the children that have been saved. Since 1990, 2162 babies have been saved that we know of and 396 salvations! God is so good to us to allow us to co-labor with him in His work. It is an honor and a privilege!

——————————————————————————–

This is TJ. His mom was 14 years old when we met her at the Summit on Middle Street in 1992. We helped her make the decision to choose life for her son. We recently paid his expenses to get him to his college in Niagra, New York after he received a basketball scholarship. His grandmother raised him to be a fine young man. We are so proud of him. We sent him a study bible and he said he would read it everyday. Pray that God puts mature Christian friends in the dorm for him.

——————————————————————————–

Here’s an updated picture of the twin girls, Megan and Morgan, born August 3rd with their sisters. Five beautiful girls, what a blessing!

——————————————————————————–

We have an ideal situation in front of the abortion mill to pass out gospel literature and lead people to the Lord. Danny gives out hundreds of tracts weekly at this location and Wendee has done the same across the street . God is comical, he put a bus stop and a methadone clinic right near us. It is a harvest ground.

——————————————————————————–

This is Brian, he is five years old, he is a saved baby. His mom brought him to come visit us on Saturday.

Every child is such a precious gift from God!

——————————————————————————–
Please pray for the man in the picture above. He has been harassing us for a while driving by and beeping his horn and yelling out obscenities. This Friday he over did it and was arrested. The court date is Sept 22, please pray that justice will be done.

“Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.” Galatians 6:7

“For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.” Romans 6:23

——————————————————————————–

HELP: We need a crib for Sharelle’s baby girl that was born in April, if you can help with this please let me know. Plus we would like to help Patricia find a rent to stay with her four grandchildren. Patricia is TJ’s grandma pictured above. She currently lives in Norwalk at a relatives house and they all sleep in one bedroom. If you know of any reasonable rents let us know ASAP.

Come join us every Tuesday, Friday and Saturday mornings from 8 AM- 10 AM as we reach out to moms that find themselves where they should not be. We will be there until the killing stops. The gates of Hell will not prevail against the Church. We are the Church. Jesus is our head and we are His body. We are His hands, his feet, his mouthpiece on the earth until he comes back. Just show up and see what God will do.

For the Least of These,

 As can be seen by this report in the Charlotte Observer, our city is totally collapsing the First Amendment rights of its citizens with manufactured city ordinances and statutes.  These ordinances and statutes are conjured up, well beneath the radar of Christians in Charlotte, in the clandestine confines of Charlotte City Hall.

We never know what is legal from one day to the next because the law; well, “…it just keeps a changin.”  Preachers who bring the Gospel of Christ into the streets of Charlotte find their civil rights tossed to the ground as police keep informing us of new changes in city and county policy.  It is a way to keep us corralled and shut us up.  It is a way to silence the Gospel proclamation. 

One of the most egregious ordinances conjured up by the Charlotte City Council is the city’s “sound ordinance.”  I was arrested for being in violation of this last Saturday afternoon.  Note: we always apply for sound permits as required by the city.  The “sound ordinance” reads that we are not to exceed 75 decibels recorded on a decibel meter when it is held ten feet in front our speakers.

This is so utterly ridiculous.  The ambient sound (street noise common in the general area) at Trade and Tryon streets registers between 65 – 90 decibels on the decibel meter.  The ambient sound in the city of Charlotte is in violation of this absurd noise ordinance.  But it sure does provide the city a circuitous way to control what can and cannot be spoken.  If one can control the volume of free speech, he can control the content of what can and cannot be heard.  How clever. 

“We can do away with free speech without anyone knowing that is what we are doing.”       

I have had to appear in court on several occasions for violating this city ordinance and never once have been found guilty.  Please understand what this means.  Even though I am acquitted, the city accomplished what it really desired.  It got me off the streets of Charlotte for the day.  Hmmmmmmm.

Why is it that the homosexual community in Charlotte can get sound permits for sound as loud as it wants while Christians are shackled with permits that allow them to speak no louder than 75 decibels?  Just so you know; many times a passing city bus registers over 100 decibels on a decibel meter when one stands ten feet away from it.

“The wicked freely strut about when what is vile is honored among men.”  Psalm 12:8.

Several Christian Ministries in the city of Charlotte booted up this past Saturday morning, locked and loaded with “Jesus Loves You” bottles of water, bright red “God Has A Better Way” t-shirts, and armed with the sharp double edged Sword of the Spirit, to allowed the theology of the church house to become biography in the streets.  Why?  Because those who hate God’s Word and love death (Proverbs 8:36)were granted a “Festival Permit” by the city of Charlotte to legitimize and outrageously display a sin that God calls an “abomination.”  Homosexual sodomy is a sin that destroys precious people who practice it, and cities and nations that approve of it.  Our city fathers never should have allowed this.  

That’s right!  This total debauchery was billed as a day for the Charlotte “Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgendered” (LGBT) community to proudly parade its sin like Sodom in the streets of our city.  And proud they were – many proclaiming that they too, were Christians.  News flash: one cannot be a Christian and a practicing homosexual at the same time.  It is impossible, “…they are crucifying the Son of God all over again and subjecting Him to public disgrace.” Hebrews 6:4-6. 

The context of these verses in Hebrews is talking about those who were once walking with God and now, because of their backsliding and choice to live in sin, are removed from the grace and mercy of God.  So many enslaved in sexual sin are deeply conflicted and cannot make things right no matter the smooth words of those attempting to justify or rationalize this horrific sin.  The “Hound of Heaven” continues His dogged pursuit of those who call evil good and good evil, because He loves them.  He does not desire that any should perish (2 Peter 3:9).

It was Biblical love that brought us to the streets of Charlotte this Saturday to expose the horror and hopelessness of the sin homosexual sodomy in the absolute belief that Jesus can save the most wretched of sinners.  How did we know this to be true?  We each looked in the mirror that morning and saw the most wretched of sinners staring right back at us.  If Jesus could and would save a wretch like me, He can and will save anyone who humbles himself and calls on His wonderful Name.

Almost 700 Christians joined us in this battle for our city and for the souls of those enslaved by this horrible and very proud sin.  The Gospel of Christ was proclaimed at the head of the noisy streets.  At the head of the public square it was heralded.  In hundreds of conversations and divine appointments, Jesus was shared.  And, when it was all done, God did indeed find a few that were willing to stand in the gap on behalf of the land.  Thank you Jesus!

Oh, by the way, I was arrested at 4:30 PM for violating the noise ordinance in my city.  When a city decriminalizes one behavior (homosexual sodomy), it won’t be long before they criminalize another behavior (Christianity).  What a glorious time to be alive and lay it all out for Christ! ~ Flip

Here is a ten minute video chronicling the arrest of Pastor Mark and Chet in Jackson this past May.  I remind you that, to the very liberal and very wealthy folks living in Jackson, the preaching of the whole Gospel of Christ is anathema.  They hate anything that appears “judgmental” or “intolerant.”  Yes, they hate the truth because the truth is “judgmental” and “intolerant” of evil.  Truth is hate to those who hate the truth.

The opposite of “tolerance” is not “intolerance,” it is Biblical love.  “Tolerance” will simply sit back and watch people flail and die in their sin.  Biblical love demands we get involved, speak the truth, and lift lost sinners out of a pit from which they cannot extricate themselves.  Pastor Mark and Chet were arrested because they were expressing God’s love to the people of the city of Jackson.  Enjoy! ~ Flip
