One Baby Saved, One Turn-away, Eleven Left to Die

One Baby Saved, One Turn-away, Eleven Left to Die

April 16, 2002

About 35 prolifers came out to the streets to pray on this beautiful sunny and warm spring day (up to 90 degrees). Happy Birthday to Rev. Benham on his 54th birthday! This is the day the Lord has made and we will rejoice and be glad. This is an awesome day for us who are alive, but we still mourn for those that died a completely unnecessary death today. I will never get used to the idea that babies can be killed legally in our country just because their mothers don't want them. It was so sad today that one of the moms going in to kill her baby said "Are you going to put Tommy Hillfiger clothes on my kids?" Now there is a prerequisite for carrying your baby to term: it is whether or not you can afford name brand clothes. What have we come to in America, SHAME on us that we are so greedy and selfish.

Dietrich Boenhoffer once said " ... SILENCE IN THE FACE OF EVIL IS EVIL ITSELF - GOD WILL NOT HOLD US GUILTLESS, NOT TO SPEAK IS TO SPEAK, NOT TO ACT IS TO ACT."

We were blessed to have some of the youth from Grace Baptist and their youth Pastor Matthew join us today. Fr. Smith was also there to represent the clergy. We spoke to a large group of I.M.A. Pastors on Saturday. Over twenty signed up for our Pastors Luncheon to be held on April 24, 12 noon. If any of you reading this want to invite your pastors, please let me know. Now is the time for the church to rise to end child killing in our community. The city's attention is on the Main Street location. We all pray that Summit will stop aborting and become a "birthing center". Pray for David Lipton, he is a nice man, he just needs Jesus as his Messiah.

We also had post abortion counselors at the site today. Stacia and Barbra were able to minister to five moms with the Gospel of Christ. I thank God for these faithful women. Also, one of our counselors was at the Hopeline Banquet Friday night and said 22 babies were saved from counseling at Hopeline this past year. We praise God for every life!

"How wonderful are the good things you keep for those who honor you! Everyone knows how good you are, how securely you protect those who trust you. You hide them in the safety of your presence from the plots of men; in a safe place you hide them from the insults of their enemies." Psalm 31:19-20
