Sky News came out to Milwaukee to spend two days with OSA Director, Jason Storms and his family. The coverage was overall very fair. Check out the story:
Dear Friend,
God is doing amazing things in Indiana!
The week before last Operation Save America held our annual Spring Regional Event in Indiana, where over a hundred Christians mobilized to bring the Gospel to college campuses and on the sidewalks in front of abortion clinics.
Additionally, many of these brothers and sisters also had the opportunity to volunteer for several political campaigns while they were in town, in an effort to distribute thousands of pieces of literature in districts where there are candidates who are committed to criminalizing abortion!
As of right now, 22 candidates for state representative have given their written commitment to support the Protection at Conception Act, which is a bill that would criminalize all abortion without exception or compromise in Indiana!
In addition to the 22 newcomers, who are running hard races to unseat RINO Republicans, there are also two godly state legislators who are fighting to keep their seats.
Representative Curt Nisly, with the help of Amy Schlichter and her grassroots no compromise pro-life group Hoosiers for Life, first drafted his bill to completely criminalize abortion in Indiana back in 2017. The RINO establishment has had him in their crosshairs ever since then. He has repeatedly bucked the political establishment and exposed weaknesses and cowardice that exist in the ranks of the Republican Party in Indiana.
In 2020 Nisly was joined by John Jacob, a street preacher who faithfully ministers the Gospel at abortion clinics, and who has no political aspirations whatsoever. In 2017 Jacob began going to the State Capital on a regular basis pleading with the Representatives to give Protection at Conception a fair hearing.
For three long years, they ignored his admonition on behalf of the pre-born, so he decided it was time for him to take his message to the voters. Jacob ran a gritty, hard-fought grassroots campaign, unseated a Republican incumbent, and became the Representative for Indiana House District 93.
For the last two legislative sessions, Nisly and Jacob have created an incredible stir in Indiana politics. They’ve forced the passage of constitutional carry, forced the passage of legislation that requires hospitals to provide life-saving care to premature babies regardless of gestation, and they’ve exposed the do nothing RINO establishment by forcing them to vote on things like protection of life from conception, medical liberty, and lawless vaccine mandates.
As a direct result of the bold actions of Nisly and Jacob to force these legislators to go on record with bad votes, hundreds of people have now joined the grassroots efforts to oppose tyranny and fight for liberty in Indiana!
Why do I tell you all of this?
Because I believe that the grassroots mobilization tactics that are being used in Indiana can serve as a model to win the battle to abolish abortion in states all over the country.
The liberty movement in Indiana, which includes as a top priority the effort to criminalize abortion, is actually bearing tangible fruit toward the end of abolishing abortion. The political establishment is running scared of the no-compromise Christians who are fighting to end abortion in Indiana.
Operation Save America has adopted this model of grassroots mobilization as our strategy for the political aspect of ending abortion.
We plan to deploy these tactics in legislative districts all over the country, including places like Alabama, Tennessee, and Arkansas.
I would like to invite you to join me in Tenessee for our National Event on July 23rd through the 30th, where I will be teaching breakout sessions on this model of grassroots mobilization.
During that event, you will also have the opportunity to learn more about the tactics we use to bring the gospel to the sidewalks in front of the abortion mill, as well as the tactics we use to expose the evil of abortion in college campuses and various other street ministry venues.
You can learn more about our national event here!
The best thing about the National Event is that it is absolutely free! Operation Save America does not want cost to be a hindrance to our efforts to equip Christians to faithfully serve the Lord in the battle to end the slaughter of the pre-born.
However, while we do not charge for these events, they do cost a substantial amount of money for our ministry to put on.
If you have the financial means to chip in $15, $10, or even $5 to help us have the financial resources for this event we would tremendously appreciate your support!
You can contribute here.
Thank you so much for your prayer, and for your support of Operation Save America!
Sincerely,
Derin Stidd
Assistant National Director

Join me in Nashville, Tennessee on July 23rd-30th for our National Event to learn more about the grassroots political tactics we are using to win the battle to abolish abortion!
You can find out about our National Event here, and you can chip in a few dollars to help us fund the event here!
Thanks again!
As a new leadership team takes over Operation Save America, what will be our focus and mission?
First and foremost, we want to get back to the foundations.
We need to be grounded theologically in the gospel of the Kingdom. Christ is Lord of all, and His Word and Law touch on every aspect of life. We must bring the teaching and the wisdom of Scripture to bear upon all areas of life.
Strong Family
The most important aspect of this is the family. Central to a healthy society is healthy families.
Abortion was born out of the soil of broken family life in America. Never has there been more abused, abandoned, and aborted children in America than today.
Healthy family life necessitates godly men leading and serving in their homes. The virtues of manhood are at an all-time low in American society today, and the family unit is breaking apart as a result. Abortion, homosexuality, gender confusion, drugs, suicide, and depression that plague our youth, are all the fruit of the breakdown of healthy masculinity.
Radical feminism would have never gained a hold in our public institutions if manhood had not first begun to wane, opening a door of vulnerability in our family structures.
Strong Men
Men were created to be protectors, not predators. Godly men honor, respect, and protect women and children, the weak and the helpless.
A godly man understands how to love and cherish his wife and to patiently guide and instruct his children, being an example of Christ to his home.
Godly men embrace challenge, hardship, difficulty, and danger. Godly men are prepared to protect their families and if necessary lay down their lives for them.
Godly manhood is characterized first and foremost by the simple word, responsibility. Men take responsibility; for their own actions, for their own failures, for the well-being of their families, their communities, and their congregations.
Men serve. Men stand. And when necessary men fight.
Godly men, following the wisdom of Scripture, prepare, discipline, and train themselves for the physical and spiritual battles God has called them to in this life as soldiers in Christs’ Kingdom.
As the ancient codes of chivalry affirm, fitness of body, keeness of mind, and strength of heart should characterize a godly man.
When a godly man, seeking Christ, led by the Holy Spirit, is leading his home, there is love, order, and harmony. That family will be a blessing strength and bulwark in their church and a beacon of light in their community.
Conversely, a man cannot endeavor to reform his society, if his own home is in disorder. And a man cannot properly order and govern his home if he cannot first govern himself.
Building godly character and virtue in our young men is where the reformation of our society must begin.
And so we will be making this a primary focus of our ministry. By creating resources, gearing our teaching and training toward this end, we hope to disciple the next generation of young men into godly manhood.
OSA is hosting our annual Leadership Conference, February 3rd-5th in Nashville, TN!!
We are privileged to be partnering with Brother Scott Hord of Operation Saving Lives, a gifted sidewalk counselor and former Pastor who recently stepped into full-time ministry in front of the abortion clinic in Nashville.
Brother Scott and his team, by God’s grace, have been able to save over 360 babies through their labors! We are honored to come alongside this faithful brother and serve.
This will be an exciting three days of outreach at the two area abortion clinics as well as gospel ministry on the streets and campuses of Nashville.
We will also be having strategic meetings with local leaders as well as with our OSA people.
This is an important time to discuss and lay out our vision and mission for 2022 and to prepare the way for the ongoing work we will be doing in Tennessee as we build and invest in the work of the Kingdom in the Volunteer State.
This is also an especially needful time to prepare the way for our summer National Event, which will be held July 23rd-30th in Nashville. Mark your calendars and begin to pray and make preparations to partner with us in this great work!

Friends,
Good news! Operation Save America’s Bible Reading Plan for 2022 is ready to go!
It is our genuine conviction that reading, understanding, and applying the Bible is an essential discipline in the spiritual life of all believers.
To that end, we want to share this resource with you as a tool that you can use to help you draw closer to the Lord in 2022!
May God richly bless you as you endeavor to draw near to Him through the study of His word!
Special shout out to Handel Humphrey for putting together this brief, powerful video from our challenge to pastors at our recent OSA event in AZ, Further up and further in. If you find any merit, please pass it on in your sphere of influence. Thanks!
Here is Pastor Jeff Durbin‘s foreword to our newest book, Biblical Strategies to Abolish Abortion. It is somewhat embarrassing and humbling at parts, but a powerful Biblical admonishment to get back to Christ, His Word, and fight this battle His way.
If you want a copy or copies send me back your address, and I’ll send them out to you. Enjoy!
Foreword by Pastor Jeff Durbin:
The history of Christ’s Kingdom in the world is filled with examples of giants of the Faith. Every century has its heroes with names that mark the timeline of human history. These are points of power and examples that provide encouragement and hope to God’s people throughout the ages. To be sure, there are many heroes of the faith whose names we may never know on this side of glory.
However, God does raise up men and women that He speaks through in such a way that puts them in His hall of fame. The Book of Hebrews testifies to a hall of fame reserved for some Old Testament saints. If the resurrected earth has halls with memorials and artifacts of God’s glory, I am confident that Rusty Thomas’ life and ministry will have a central placement.
We have endured about a half a century of slaughtering pre-born Image-bearers in the United States of America since the fallacious and evil Roe vs. Wade iniquitous decree. This systematic slaughter, now totaling in the dozens of millions, can only occur in a nation at war with God and His Word.
Child sacrifice has a long and dark tradition amongst mankind. Christians have spoken against this evil and worked to end it since the earliest days of the Christian Church. Nations influenced by the Gospel of our Lord have not only created the atmosphere wherein abortion is “unthinkable,” they also penalized it by law. Christian nations, transformed by the Gospel and God’s Word, see abortion for what it is: murder. It is the unjustified killing of a human being; a creature made in God’s Image.
According to the Christian Worldview, abortion is not merely a sin, but something far more abominable. A cursory look at the history of the United States (pre-Roe) demonstrates that when the Christian Worldview permeates and becomes the primary influence, society views abortion as a CRIME. This explains why many State laws (some still on the books) criminalized abortion for the doctors who commit this shameful act as well as the parents who paid them to have their children executed.
Transformed Christian Nations never tolerate the murder of the pre-born. Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland serve as recent examples. It took several decades and an incredible effort by the forces of darkness to thrust upon them this national sin, which brings national calamity. Ireland’s defense of the preborn when so many Western nations caved reveals the inescapable truth that Christendom will not tolerate child sacrifice and the shedding of innocent blood.
The murder of pre-born human beings is primarily a Gospel issue. This is the key point. It is the hinge upon which the entire issue turns. Abortion is a problem of the human heart that is bent toward sin, evil, and destruction. People who are in a hostile relationship with their Creator will go to war with Him at every point of contact. They will distort their own humanity, erase the borders of what constitutes a beautiful, harmonious, and intimate relationship with other humans, become a law unto themselves, and, if given opportunity, kill their own offspring. Even the gracious gift of life given by the hand of God, in the midst of this conflict with Him, will end up in the trash heap. That is how truly depraved we are when left to ourselves. Sin is undeniably irrational.
So, what is the solution? The Pro-life industry believes that they can fight this battle for the lives of pre-born humans by adopting a posture of neutrality. They are confident in their confession that they are not explicitly Christian. “We are about the science!” they proclaim. They are equally committed to portraying mothers, who hire an assassin to dismember their little boys and girls, as abortion’s second “victim.”
In other words, the Pro-life industry has not engaged this vitally important issue Biblically, with both feet firmly planted on the authority and consistency of the Word of God. They often proclaim that they want to make abortion “unthinkable.” However, this proposition neglects the fundamental assertions of Scripture: There is none good, there is none who seeks for God, and the heart is deceitful above all things.
They, as well as those who advocate for abortion, must understand that there is no neutrality with Christ. Whoever does not gather with Him scatters and whoever is not with Him is against Him. There is no transformation of the human heart without the gracious work of God, by His Spirit and Gospel. This alone removes the heart of hostility toward Him and His Word, which causes people to love His ways, His beauty, His glory, and His Law.
Rusty Thomas has known this throughout his decades of faithful ministry and witness. Rusty has saved countless children from death, directly and indirectly through his witness. His teachings have led countless other believers into this fight. For Rusty (and the many believers involved now because of him) this issue is first-and-foremost a Gospel of the Kingdom issue.
It is an issue of fidelity toward the One Who has all authority in heaven and on earth. For Rusty, Christ is King, His Law is good, and the nations are Christ’s inheritance. Rusty has raised his voice for the fatherless outside of abortion-mills while the ashes of these recently slaughtered children were falling on his head. He has lost time with his family, friends, and church through many trials in jail. He has labored and suffered across this nation, sacrificing time and money, to speak prophetically to legislators who have the duty to abolish and criminalize the slaughter of the pre-born.
What you will find in this book is a consistent, Gospel-centered, biblically grounded approach to ending child-sacrifice in our nation. We do not need the compromised, inconsistent, and failed neutral approach to ending abortion. We need Christ. We need His Word. We need His Gospel. This is what Rusty has fought for, taught, and learned over and over again through his life of sacrifice for these fatherless children. The Christian Church will benefit from listening to a man who knows the problem, is keenly aware of the solution, and understands the macro and micro issues.
We need to listen to Rusty Thomas. His commitments are to Christ, His Gospel, and to the faithful God-centered approach to every sphere of life. This is what changes the world.
Always has and always will.
THE DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE
Blessed 4th of July Celebration: If you find any merit, please pass it on in your sphere of influence. Thanks!
“Hearken to me, ye that follow after righteousness, ye that seek the Lord: look unto the rock whence ye are hewn, and to the hole of the pit whence ye are dinged. Look unto Abraham your father, and unto Sarah that bare you: for I called him alone, and blessed him, and increased him (Isaiah 51:1, 2).”
When it comes to celebrating this most American of holidays, it is interesting to note that our Founding Fathers did not consider the 4th of July a holiday. No, to them this day represented far more than just another festival to acknowledge in the myriad of special days Americans honor.
According to John Adams, the second President of the USA, the 4th of July, “Ought to be commemorated, as the Day of Deliverance, by solemn acts of devotion to God Almighty.” Surprisingly, John Adams believed Independence Day was to be a Holy Day to be spent in Thanksgiving to the Almighty for His mighty deliverance that He wrought on the behalf of our fledgling nation.
His son, John Quincy Adams, our 6th President, declared, “Why is that, next to the birthday of the Savior of the world, your most joyous and most venerated festival returns on this day (July 4th). Is it not that, in the chain of human events, the birthday of the nation is indissolubly linked with the birthday of the Savior? That it forms a leading event in the Progress of the Gospel dispensation? Is it not that the Declaration of Independence first organized the social compact on the foundation of the Redeemer’s mission upon Earth? That it laid the cornerstone of human government upon the first precepts of Christianity…”
According to Mr. Adams, it took the spread of Christianity 1,800 years to finally culminate in the establishing of America. He believed the highest glory of the Revolution permanently linked the principles of Christianity with the principles of civil government. He viewed the Declaration as the first social compact and governing document in the history of man to establish its foundation on the mission of Jesus Christ in the earth. Obviously, America is dreadfully void of that perspective today.
Yes, there is much evidence that points to the fact that America is a unique nation amongst the nations of the earth. It is evident that the land itself was preserved for a special purpose in God’s Providence. Although America was prime “real estate” in the earth and filled with natural resources, it remained virtually untapped for thousands of years.
One did not see the pyramids of Egypt, the glory of Rome, nor the grandeur of Greece upon these shores. Why is it that there was no great civilization established here until a persecuted people longing to be free to worship the God of Heaven in Spirit and in truth came to these shores? If you can answer that question, then you are on the road to understand the vision for America and her destiny that stands in peril today.
Another unique mark upon this nation that is exclusively American is the fact that we are the only nation on earth that was founded on a creed. All the other nations on earth were essentially established upon ethnicity, nationality, or race. Not so with America. Regardless of skin color or any other physical attribute that distinguishes human beings, what makes an American an American is a creed. A creed that is articulated in a document we call The Declaration of Independence.
Before we explore some vital points of that creed, we need to understand, whereas the Constitution is the letter of the law, (that has been twisted, bent, and perverted through judicial activism to subject Americans to legalized evil today) the Declaration is the Spirit of the Law. The Declaration supplies the premises, the presuppositions, and the underlying principles that we have forgotten to the Constitution’s harm. You will see this clearly as we examine a few of those foundational principles contained within the Declaration. It was to be the heart, soul, and source to establish and sustain our Christian Republic called America.
On July 2nd, 1776, (They publish it on July 4th, 1776) the delegates of the Continental Congress voted to ratify the Declaration which began with these profound words, “When in the course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature God entitles them…”
It is extremely important to understand, and it cannot be emphasized enough that our Founding Fathers cited the Laws of Nature and of Nature’s God as the basis for breaking ties with England and to become a separate nation in the earth. To comprehend the magnitude of that phrase utilized by Thomas Jefferson, one must look to Sir William Blackstone who was the first one to coin the phrase.
Sir William Blackstone was a renowned English jurist who wrote the highly influential work called, “Commentaries on the Laws of England ” He was one the most quoted sources, besides the Bible, John Locke, and Baron de Montesquieu, which our Founding Fathers cited as the basis for law in America.
Blackstone defined the laws of nature and of nature’s God as:
Man, considered as a creature, must necessarily be subject to the laws of his Creator, for he is entirely a dependent being… And, consequently, as man depends absolutely upon his Maker for everything, it is necessary that he should in all points conform to his Maker’s will… this will of his Maker is called the law of nature. These laws laid down by God are the eternal immutable laws of good and evil. This law of nature dictated by God Himself; is of course superior in obligation to any other. It is binding over all the globe, in all countries, and at all times: no human laws are of any validity if contrary to this… The doctrines thus delivered we call the revealed or divine law, and they are to be found in the Holy Scriptures… {and} are found upon comparison to be really part of the original law of nature. Upon these two foundations, the law of nature and the law of revelation (Thomas Jefferson penned of nature’s God as a substitute for the law of revelation) depend all human laws; that is to say, no human laws should be suffered to contradict these.
According to Blackstone who was the inspiration behind the laws of nature and of nature’s God statement, the creation itself testifies and teaches man that there is a Supreme Being that created the universe. The immutable laws contained within nature reveal a Creator that man is to be subject to by virtue of being a dependent creature. Apparently, Blackstone was a jurist who studied the only sure basis for law, which is Holy Writ. Both Romans 1:20 and Psalms 19:1-3 verify his writings.
Blackstone believed even though man has reasoning capabilities, it has been made corrupt by sin. The Lord did not leave revelation to chance, however. No, He made a direct appeal to mankind through what Blackstone called the “law of revelation,” in which the Declaration interprets “of nature’s God.” The Ten Commandments, God’s moral Law, was God’s way of appealing to man objectively to confirm within man what he instinctively knows to be true on the inside.
Yet, due to man’s fallen nature, we inevitably suppress the truth and exchange it for a lie. Undeterred, in God’s great mercy, He sent the second person of the Godhead, the Lord Jesus Christ, as the most perfect revelation and we are therefore without excuse.
The Bible teaches that Jesus is the expressed image of God (Hebrews 1:3). He was the Word (God’s direct revelation to man) made flesh and dwelt amongst us. Jesus stated, “If you’ve seen me, you have seen the Father (John 14:9).” In other words, Jesus was the visible manifestation of the invisible God. According to Blackstone, unless laws were based upon these truths, they were not laws at all and “no human law should be suffered to contradict these.”
Our next stop along the way as we explore the Declaration is, “We hold these truths to be self-evident.” Can you believe in this moral relativistic age in which we live, that our Founding Fathers had the audacity to believe in a concept called truth? Now truth by its very nature lends itself completely to the notion that there are moral absolutes. Obviously, our Founding Fathers would be laughed to scorn today, if they brought that archaic view to our “enlightened” humanistic public schools.
We do not teach children that there is such a thing as self-evident truth, moral absolutes, and a definite right and a definite wrong. No, we teach kids to decide for themselves what is right or wrong with no standard except what their own unregenerated hearts crave. As a result, millions of American children are left to construct their own “truth” and values apart from the God of the Bible.
Can there be any doubt that this mentality has opened the proverbial Pandora’s Box that is savaging our young today? School shootings, gangs, violence, confusion, sexual immorality, molestation, and drug abuse are a direct result of our nation rejecting the time-honored wisdom of our Founding Fathers.
Our Founding Fathers believed in self-evident truth. Not based upon the subjective experience of fallen man, but on God’s objective truth that is transcendent and authoritative over man. Yes, they believed in truth because they longed for freedom. They knew Biblically, you cannot have freedom without truth. Where would they obtain such a notion?
John 8:31, 32 records, “Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If you continue in my word, then are you my disciples indeed; and you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.” Keep in mind, freedom to them was not the ability to do whatever we want, but the power to do as we ought.
Self-government was the key to liberty. If we did not have the Gospel chain retraining the beast from within, we would not have the moral fortitude to chain the beastly instincts of civil government. America would do well to remember from whence she came and what those who birthed her believed.
The next important phrase contained in the Declaration goes like this, “That all men are created equal; and are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights.” Notice it does not say that man evolved into equality and by virtue of evolution have secured unalienable rights. Why is it our Founding Fathers believed in creationism, and yet, we cannot teach this history to our children?
Ideas have consequences, my friend. Evolution has been the intellectual underpinnings of every atheistic, totalitarian government that has committed unspeakable atrocities against the very people they claimed to serve. Communism, Nazism, and Fascism are just a few of the regimes that rejected the concept of Creator.
They opted for an evolutionary worldview instead, which justified their many atrocities. Their bloody history aptly displays the bitter fruit of an atheistic state that utilizes evolution to rationalize oppression. After all, evolution teaches that the strong survive. So, it must be ethical to exploit, abuse, and destroy the weak to get what we lust for in life, right? No, a thousand times no!
We see this mentality so clearly manifest with the struggle over abortion. Fallen men at times use and abuse women by virtue of their superior strength. In like manner, feministic women demand to be empowered as well. Roe v Wade decriminalized child sacrifice, which allowed women to use their superior strength against their own helpless children. God help us!
Christianity, on the other hand, teaches that the strong are to help the weak. We are never permitted by God to exploit them. This Biblical concept is one of the reasons that made America great. How many times has America invested our blood, treasure, and toil to aid weaker nations that were subjugated to tyranny by stronger nations?
What has happened to America since we have officially rejected our Creator that our Founding Fathers looked to as the basis of establishing America as an independent nation amongst the nations of the earth? We are becoming what we fought against in World War II.
America seems hell bent on using our superior strength, political clout, and finances to spew the filth of Hollywood, abortion, the feminist doctrine, and the homosexual agenda throughout the globe. Is it any wonder why Islam calls America the “Great Satan” and seeks our destruction?
The Declaration proceeds with these words, “That among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness (not a guarantee of happiness that the “government as Savior” programs promise). That to secure these rights, governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed.”
Our Founding Fathers believed that man’s rights came from God, the Creator, and that civil government was established to protect those rights. This is the clear teaching of Romans 13:1 which states, “Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there is no power but of God: the powers that be are ordained of God.”
Historically, Americans believed that we were “One Nation under God.” In fact, our national motto is “In God We Trust.” It was not one nation under many gods, but the one, true and living God, the God of the Bible, the triune God of Holy Scripture, God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit.
When mankind rejects this Biblical truth of God’s sovereignty, however, man has only two failed options available. First, the state is sovereign and the ultimate authority, which historically has led to the murderous regimes, previously mentioned that has crushed the freedoms, lives, and property of many.
In fact, the 20th century alone, has witnessed hundreds of millions of innocent people massacred by this monstrous lie. The second option is man as an individual is sovereign, which inevitably leads to anarchy, chaos, and confusion. Only One Nation under God can secure the delicate tension between the social order on the one hand and individual freedom on the other. All else is sinking sand and cisterns that cannot hold water.
Indeed, God is the supreme authority and civil government is a delegated authority established for His glory and our benefit. The Declaration then warns, “that, whenever any form of government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the right of the people to alter or to abolish it, and to institute a new government.”
This particular phrase is why we are crying out for a “Gentle Revolution.” Either America experiences a spiritual, godly, and moral revolution that lands us squarely back upon the “Rock” from which we were hewed, or I shudder to think of what may befall us.
Finally, our Founding Fathers make their appeal, “to the Supreme Judge of the world for the rectitude of our intentions… With a firm reliance on the protection of Divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our lives, our fortunes, and our sacred honor.”
In the Declaration, the God of the Bible is acknowledged as Law-giver, the source of Law, Creator, the Source of life, the Supreme Judge, the highest authority, and the Protector of America’s rights. Without this revelation beating in the heart of every true American, then all the 4th of July represents is eating, drinking, and watching fireworks.
I pray that each of you that read this article will consider these historical truths and their implications. They represent the righteous foundations upon which America once stood. We must awaken and recognize that these foundational truths are beginning to crumble as we abandon God, our righteous heritage and the principles that made us great.
Our history is being deleted or rewritten to further the “foes of our own American household’s” agenda. We must therefore, look to the Rock that hewed us and the Patriarchs that bore us before it is too late. GOD SAVE AMERICA AND NO KING, BUT KING JESUS!
With the completion of the OSA national event comes the time to make our newest book, Biblical Strategies to Abolish Abortion, available to order.
If you want a copy or copies, please send your address to my email, rtosa13@yahoo.com , and I’ll send them to you. It’s on a donation basis. Here is the link.
Hard to believe the last day of our national event has arrived. It includes the last day I’ll lead as national director of Operation Rescue/Operation Save America. We will have the blessing and honor to set in Jason Storms as new director this evening. May Christ be praised.
This morning the saints are preparing to face the heat of AZ and the fiery, hellish practice of child sacrifice and the shedding of innocent blood once more. We are trusting as we proclaim the Gospel of the Kingdom that God will watch over His Word to perform it. Your prayers are welcomed and needed.
This afternoon’s livestream session includes Jason Storms and I tag teaming to minister to the youth. It will start as 2:30 pm Mountain time.
Our last rally night will feature attorney Bradley Pierce as the preliminary speaker, and we will conclude the event by setting in Jason Storms. Hope you can make it, if not, join us livestream at our Operation Rescue/Operation Save America Facebook page. Keep pressing on saints to the high call and prize in Jesus’ name!
