A journalist sent me this video who presents the Gospel. At the end, he uses Jeremiah’s undying faith to drive home its poignant truths that has the power to set the captives free. Enjoy!
This, I believe, was the first major seed sown in the life of our son, Jeremiah, that led to his fiery baptism, fiery ministry, fiery ordeal, and glorious Homecoming.
As God’s providential timing would have it, there is no rest for the weary. Kendra and I are leaving today to go to Louisville, KY to face F.A.C.E. We are due, along with the other rescuers, in Federal Court on Friday, September 7th. It is time to deal with the Federal government concerning our Mother’s Day Rescue that took place May 13th, in the year of our Lord, 2017.
We are not asking for deliverance for ourselves, but for the little ones made in God’s image being led to slaughter for blood money made possible by the wicked, lawless decree known as Roe vs. Wade.

Jeremiah has run his lap of the race of faith. The baton has fallen from his hand. His sword and shield has been dashed to the ground. Who amongst this generation will pick them up and continue to storm the gates of hell?
Be done with lesser things young people. It will rob you of your destiny. There is a Covenant of Death that has produced the culture of death your generation staggers under. Jeremiah knew it and gave his last breath to defeat it.
Jeremiah has gone home to be with the Lord and he has passed the baton to you. Take up sword and shield for It is your turn now in Jesus’ name!
One of the most powerful, convicting, and encouraging words I have ever heard, from Rusty Thomas speaking about his son who just passed from cancer, Jeremiah Thomas. Please listen with open hearts. “Be done with lesser things!”- Rusty Thomas

Jesus was honored and lifted up at Jeremiah’s Homecoming Service. God’s mail was delivered! Our son’s memory cherished. The Gospel was preached. A charge was given to the youth to pick up the fallen sword and shield from Jeremiah’s hands and continue to storm the gates of hell to break the Covenant of Death to redeem the culture of death in Jesus’ name!
“Those who do wickedly against the covenant he shall corrupt with flattery; but the people who know their God shall be strong, and carry out great exploits” (Daniel 11:32)!

High School Football Star Vilified For Dying Wish To Outlaw Abortion In Texas, Dies At 16
Wanted to be Christian minister
By HANK BERRIEN
August 29, 2018
A high school football star who suffered a six-month battle with bone cancer and used his Make-A-Wish request to ask Texas Gov. Greg Abbott to abolish abortion in Texas, died Sunday night.
Jeremiah Thomas led the Parkview Pacers to the state semi-finals in six-man football, won All-State honors and was named the game’s Most Valuable Player in 2016, followed by winning All-State honors again in 2017, playing every down on offense and defense as the Pacers won the state championship. He also wanted to become a minister.
On Monday, coach Bryce Frazier stated, “We lost a fighter and a good one at that. He loved everybody that he came in contact with, and showed love and he showed the love of Christ on everything he did and someone who could just could make you laugh.”
After Thomas’ request to speak to Abbott went viral, he was attacked with hate mail. Frazier said Jeremiah always answered lovingly.
Speaking in June from his wheelchair of the favorite testimonies that he had experienced, Thomas recalled one when he was in Houston:
“There was this girl; she would come and visit me a lot, and she’d bring me a bunch of snacks. We’d watch movies together; it was like super-fun. She told me about her younger sister — her father — not her younger sister, her stepsister, who, her father was murdered when she was seven; her mom passed away last year from an overdose on drugs, and she grew up real hurt from the Church. Any idea of Christianity she hated, utterly hated. It wasn’t until she walked into my hospital room that she exclaimed that she saw true Christianity and true love. She saw my mom on her knees, just praying for me, and I was sitting up in bed, real chipper and happy. She expected me to be like, dying, super-sick. She was so surprised; she gave her life to Christ. She immediately went back to church.”
Before he died, Thomas made a video in which he said, “Sometimes bravery involves giving up on everything you’ve ever known, for everyone you’ve ever loved or everything you’ve ever wanted for the sake of something greater. I don’t know how much time I have left on this earth but with a time that I do have I want it to count for my God and for my generation.”
Frazier said, “We’re going to keep his locker here for him, make sure that he still lives on in this locker room too.” He concluded, “You know I asked them (the team) Friday night if they wanted to play and they said yes, they want to fight, and that’s our word this year, fight, and it’s going to be a fight for him.”

“We lost a fighter and a good one at that,” Parkview head football coach Bryce Frazier said Monday.
As a freshman, Thomas led the Parkview Pacers to the state semi-finals in six-man football and was named the game’s Most Valuable Player.
Last year as a sophomore, Thomas won All-State honors for the second year in a row as the Pacers won the state championship.
He played every down on offense and defense.
“He loved everybody that he came in contact with, and showed love and he showed the love of Christ on everything he did and someone who could just could make you laugh,” Frazier said.
Thomas was also an anti-abortion activist.
His Make-a-Wish request, which was granted, was to talk to Texas Gov. Greg Abbott by phone so he could ask Abbott to abolish abortion in Texas.
The story went viral on news outlets across the country and around the world.
Thomas received a lot of hate mail as a result, but Frazier says he always responded in love.
In a video made during his last days, Jeremiah said: “Sometimes bravery involves giving up on everything you’ve ever known, for everyone you’ve ever loved or everything you’ve ever wanted for the sake of something greater.”
“I don’t know how much time I have left on this earth but with a time that I do have I want it to count for my God and for my generation,” he said in the video.
Jeremiah was the ninth of 13 children.
His locker at Parkview won’t be changed.
“We’re going to keep his locker here for him, make sure that he still lives on in this locker room too,” Frazier said.
Thomas wanted to become a minister, and believed strongly in conservative ideals that he gleaned from his father and the Bible.
A funeral service begins at 10 a.m. Friday at Antioch Community Church at 510 North 20th Street.
Burial will follow at Oakwood Cemetery.
Visitation is from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. Thursday at the Church of the Open Door at 900 Loop 340 in Waco.
His family will take the field with his team Friday night for Parkview’s first game of the season against Fort Worth THESA.
“You know I asked them (the team) Friday night if they wanted to play and they said ‘yes they want to fight’ and that’s our word this year fight and it’s going to be a fight for him,” Frazier said.
