Check out the ongoing ministries of OSA and the pro-lifers who put FEET to their BELIEFS...sidewalk counseling, baby showers for mothers who choose life, financial support of those moms and babies, post-abortion help and much more. MANY babies (over 600 since October...JUST in Charlotte) have been saved because people like this are there to meet these women where they ARE, not where we arrogantly WANT THEM TO BE! Come out to a clinic and see OSA in action before making such odd comments that really have no facts to support the claims. Fearful beliefs based on fiction and hearsay make you feel better about being a bystander when all hands are needed on deck. Beliefs based on eyewitness accounts, truth and reality spur the necessary action during tumultuous times Never seen OSA helping women and babies at the clinics, have you?

Holding signs is not cowardice. The people who hold the signs opened my eyes and invited me to see first hand, "in the streets" how I could love mamas and their unborn babies. They are the ones who go, um, like everyday. I am ashamed that only in the last month have I stepped foot in front of one of those "stone's throw" abortion clinics. No one at Central ever told me how to get "into the streets" like that to help the people. I voted pro-life, I gave to the Pregnancy centers and I prayed. I didn't know regular christians were supposed to go. I thought I was doing everything I could. I praise God for the courage of those sounding a wake up call, a practical call, a real call to action. In the last month I've talked to real women, hurting women, seen cars turn around, saw a mother bring a one month old to show those folks "in the streets" that their work is not in vain. They have a right to hold the signs, because they do go "into the streets." I have a right to hold the sign, because now I go too. Please join us one day, you won't regret it.

Why do you think we were at Central Church of God on a Sunday morning??? We were there to make you aware of the fact that within two and a half miles of the Central Church of God building,(That holds thousands of people on any given Sunday.) there are two abortion mills that kill innocent children. We wanted to invite you to come out and help at the abortions mills. We have been ON THE STREETS preaching the Gospel and helping women and children for seven years at one of those places. We have NEVER seen anyone from COG there....oh yeah...except for the two people the leadership of COG "banned for life" !!! A lifetime member and a four year member. One more thing....I have been on the streets all across the country with these dear, precious Saints of God....they are NOT cowards! They are the most courageous, Godly people I know. ????????
