Regional Event – Little Rock, Arkansas

We hope several of you are planning to join us in Little Rock, Arkansas, this September 12-16, 2012, as part of our States of Refuge project.  God has been doing so much through the local group in preparation for this great event.  We will be at high schools, abortionists neighborhoods, the Capital, and, of course, we will be at the last free standing abortion mill in the state of Arkansas.  Here is Rusty’s invitation.

See you at the gates in Little Rock! ~ Flip

Dear Champion of the Lord and the Preborn,

One of the important aspects of OSA’s ministry is to raise up and train local Christians to storm the gates of hell in their community. One such person is chaplain Rich Hagen in Little Rock, AR. Here is his invitation for those far and near to come to our next phase of the States of Refuge campaign. We hope to see you there.

_________________________________________________

The next phase in the States of Refuge Campaign is from September 12-16, OSA will conduct a regional event in Little Rock, Arkansas. It is our desire to present to Our Lord Jesus an abortion free state and to work until this is accomplished. This is the Gospel in action, out in the highways and byways compelling people to come in to the kingdom and pressing upon them the crown rights of King Jesus. We are asking, even pleading for the Christians of Arkansas to come out and be the light and salt in Little Rock.

“Open thy mouth for the dumb in the cause of all such as are appointed to destruction.” (Proverbs 31:8)

You can view our facebook page and stay up to date with schedules and events. Each evening we will hold rallies/worship services and hear sober and God-honoring preaching by Rev. Flip Benham and Rev. Rusty Lee Thomas and others. Each day we will be out preaching at the abortion facility, where they kill our nation’s children. Come hear and see what the Lord is doing all across this nation to “stop the mouths of lions…escape[d] the edge of the sword…[and] wax[ed] valiant in fight…” right here in Little Rock. We do serve an Almighty and Glorious God.

God has already gone before us and secured a host church, Victory Fellowship, and reasonable hotel accommodations.

States of Refuge – Little Rock, AR, September 12-16, 2012

We will be having our next regional event  in Little Rock, Arkansas, September 12-16, 2012.  The state of Arkansas has one remaining abortion mill in it.  It is our prayer that, as the Church of Jesus Christ in Little Rock rises up on behalf of her preborn brothers and sisters, that soon there will be no abortion mills left in the state of Arkansas.

It may seem inconceivable to us but it is inevitable with God!  

Enjoy! ~ Flip

There is no rest for the weary. Thankfully, the Thomas Nation made it home safe and sound from our national event in North Carolina. We returned to the usual challenges associated with this great battle for the souls of men, the lives of children, and the future of our nation.

We now focus on the next phase in the States of Refuge Campaign. From September 12-16, OSA will conduct a States of Refuge regional event in Little Rock, Arkansas. God has already gone before us and secured a host church, Victory Fellowship, and reasonable hotel accommodations.

New Family Birth in the Battle

Good morning my dear brother of our Lord Jesus!

My family and I were at the National Event last week in North Carolina. This was our first event and we thank God for each moment we spent there among the saints at the gates of Hell – we came back a changed family.

My family and I would like to plan to attend the gathering in Little Rock in September and wondered if there was someone we needed to contact so we could get hotel info, etc as soon as it was available. I am not sure to whom this email is directed, perhaps I was able to meet you, if not I pray we will in just a few short weeks.

There are 10 of us in our family, upon the death of my husband in 2009 my oldest daughter and son in law, adopted me and the four youngest siblings left to raise and now we are a blended family of 10. It is a true blessing.

Thank you for your help – may the Lord bless you and keep you close to Him.

Abiding in Christ,

Angela Hagenow

It is our prayer that many of you will be encouraged by this family that is coming to Little Rock and be inspired to join us as well. Remember, our righteous goal is to soon present to our Lord the first abortion free state in America. We need your help to accomplish this Kingdom task in Jesus’ name!

Mississippi Teetering on Becoming First Abortion Free State!

It is happening before our very eyes.  We are witnessing the first cracks in the abortion industry’s iron fisted armor.  Through years of faithful witnessing and continual storming of the gates of hell by the saints in Mississippi, the gates are beginning to crumble.  Pray that they do in Jesus’ mighty Name. ~ Flip

 

On January 22nd, 2012 Operation Save America officially launched our new national campaign called States of Refuge: Operation First Abortion Free States. Since that time we have been fighting the battle for the souls of men, the lives of children, and the future of our nation at the five exposed areas (states) that have one abortion mill remaining defiling our land. The five states consist of Arkansas, Mississippi, North Dakota, South Dakota, and Wyoming.

According to this article, one of those five states, Mississippi, stands at the threshold of becoming the first abortion free state liberated from the blood guiltiness of baby murder. Interestingly enough, the pro-life bill that jeopardizes the last death camp in Mississippi passed while the States of Refuge campaign was conducting a Word in Warfare event at the abortion mill in Jackson, MS.
 
Brethren, let us press on in faith, godly action, and prayer to offer unto God the first abortion free state in America. We are getting close!

Pastor’s Letter to City of Jackson

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.

Question from Jackson Hole

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,

Flip

City of Jackson Hole Arguing with Itself

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.

Enjoy!  ~ Flip

Jill Stanek’s Report on Foray into Jackson, Wyoming

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!

Here’s What’s Going On in Jackson Hole!

 Here’s Brenda Spurlock’s report on what’s been happening in the little town of Jackson Hole, Wyoming.   Enjoy!

Wednesday-Friday, May 16-18, 2012

During three days of street preaching, public Bible reading & prayer, display of signs that depict both the humanity of the child in the womb and the barbarity of abortion, our folks in Jackson, WY began to see residents awakening to the fact that standing against child murder is not only their civil duty, it is “Loving and Compassionate!”

Dorothy Boyett (TX), Mark Gabriel (WI)

A number of our people reported receiving handshakes and thanks from Christians who were happy we had come. One woman said she had been praying that the hypocrisy of the churches regarding abortion would be exposed.

Brenda Spurlock (TX), Jeremy Aughenbaugh (WY)

At our evening services, OSA saints recounted divine appointments they had on the streets. One night eight of them spoke. Among them, Deanna Waller, who ministered to a grandmother who was still grieving a grandchild that she hadn’t known was being aborted.

Dorothy Boyett told about Collin (20), who came to Jackson for work. He said he had no religious background. After Dorothy described how holy our God is, and took Collin through the Law, he admitted if he died today he would go to hell. Then she had the privilege of telling him the blessed news of what Jesus did on the cross for us. “Now isn’t that good news?” she asked. That’s the best news I’ve had all day!” he replied

Ante Pavkovic said he and a man he met on the streets discussed abortion and every other controversial subject under the sun. There was a different spirit, a friendly rapport, after spending more than an hour working their way through these subjects.

Saturday, May 19, Elk Fest

On the same corner where a Kansas Pastor  and Chet Gallagher were arrested last year, we finished up Word in Warfare by reading Revelations.

Ante Pavkovic (NC), Ron Nederhoed , Eva Zastrow (MI)

Sunday, May 20, 2012, Church

Most of the ladies still in town went to Church at River Crossing, a non-denominational church pastored by Mike Atkins.  Gary Jelich and Michael Sugar stood on the highway and held the Malachi sign that asks, “Where is your church?” . The rest of the men went into the residential area with signs after being removed from church property.

The Pharisee who prayed about himself thanking God he wasn’t like other men was the sermon topic. Pastor Atkins said he didn’t believe in our methodology.  He said that he had talked with Brent Blue and hadn’t been able to get him to quit doing abortions.  (This was at our leader’s request after Pastor Atkins was missing in action on vacation last year while we were here.)  He told the congregation he has saved a baby.  He said our people shouldn’t have come , that local pastors have spiritual authority for Jackson.

Following services, Heather Mechanic explains in Spanish to a Hispanic gentleman why we’ve come.

A gray-haired woman identified as being a witch who burned incense and did incantations last year while we were in town, was on church property with a sign, though OSA wasn’t allowed on the property with signs.  She complained to a young assistant pastor about us.  He told her she had the authority to call the police.  She wasn’t a church member but said she visits once a month.

A man leaving after the service, thanked our people for being there and handed us a $100 bill saying he wanted to buy lunch for everyone.

One of our saints went to Presbyterian Church of Jackson Hole whose pastor also said he didn’t agree with our methods.  “We have fervently pro-life people and also have fervently pro-choice people,” he said, “but we all come together for the sake of the gospel of Christ.”

Here’s the link to see this video via YouTube.  (We can’t help but agree with Flip that the pastors are what’s wrong with Jackson, Wyoming )
