CLINIC GUARD ARRESTED AND ONE BABY IS SAVED

"He who digs a hole and scoops it out falls into the pit he has made. The trouble he causes recoils on himself; his violence comes down on his own head." Psalm 8:15-16.

This "security guard" has harried the gentle Christians in Bridgeport in every way he possibly could. Now, let us pray that he will come to himself, and stop being a pathetic instrument used by satan to silence the Gospel message. Let's pray that Darrell will give his heart to Christ, come out from among them, and join the saints in Bridgeport who are standing for life.

In Christ,
Flip

We had another interesting day out at the killing center. The clinic lot attendant/amateur guard was arrested (I think it was for disturbing the peace). From what I saw he was complaining about prolifers holding signs near the fence, saying not to touch the fence and that they were preventing the mill from doing their business. He then was arguing with the Officer Woods and talking junk to our kids and as he tried to provoke prolifers. At one point he told the policeman he should "go to church with us" and he called my granddaughter a "churchgirl" in a derogatory manner. It is obvious that the abortion providers hate the Jesus in us. Daryl was getting rowdy with Officer Woods and would not comply so other police help was called in. He was arrested and taken away to jail. This is the same guard that spit in my face and hair. Stan Scott and Bob D. also said this man stole prolife signs from them in the past.

"Blessed are you when people abuse you and persecute you and speak all kinds of evil against you falsely on my account. Rejoice and be glad, for your reward will be great in Heaven." Matthew 5:11-12

Thirty prayer warriors, including Fr. Markey, took time out of their Christmas busyness to think of their little neighbors that were sentenced to die. It paid off, God heard our prayers, and at least ONE BABY WAS SAVED! PTL! Carmen took this Hispanic mom home.

"How beautiful are the feet of him who brings the Gospel." Isaiah 52:7

Eleven moms came to abort.
One changed her mind.
Ten babies will not be here for Christmas.
They are dead.

"Devote yourselves to prayer, being watchful and thankful and pray for us, too, that God may open a door for our message, so that we may proclaim the mystery of Christ." Collossians 4:2,3

I hope the Lord blesses you all this Christmas season with true blessings. Remember the babies that will not celebrate Jesus's birthday because their lives were taken by their moms and the abortionists. I pray for God's mercy on us, we have become an evil and wicked nation that legally kills our own children. Please come out to the streets and stand for the little ones, so that they won't die alone.

"You are My witnesses sayeth the Lord." Is. 43:10

As we are so busy in the hustle and bustle of Christmas, let us not forget those that might not have a Christmas if someone does not intervene. Please be there. We need you - the babies need you. Jesus wants to use you as His mouthpiece, His hands, His feet, reaching out to the lost and needy who find themselves where they should not be. Help your preborn neighbor and speak for those who cannot speak for themselves. Those that are physically unable to be there, please pray.

Seventeen moms came today.
Four turned away.
We believe thirteen babies were killed.

Male Client Arrested for Assaulting Rosary Woman

A male client was arrested today for spraying a liquid at one of the rosary ladies that was trying to talk to this man and his daughter as they entered the killing center. The young woman was visibly upset as she buried her head with tears rolling down her face. An ambulance came and at least five cop cars, the deputy chief, sergeants, and officers on the scene. The man was arrested for assault.

Twenty baby lovers came out in the bitter cold. Two clergy were there (Pst. Miller, Pst. Randy). The parking lot attendant stays in his car most of the time. A female abortionist came in her station wagon. It was hard to pay attention to the count, there was "confusion in the enemy's camp." From what I saw:

Ten or eleven moms came to kill their children.
Two turned away.
At least eight maybe nine babies were killed.

This Christmas poem about Jesus reminded me also of the precious babies sentenced to die at the abortuary.

IN LOWLY PLACES -Mrs. Roy l. Peifer
Sometimes
In lowly places
The most wondrous treasures
Are found.
The most brilliant
And precious diamonds
Buried in the blackest ground.

'Twas a strange place
To search for a King -
In a stable lowly and bare -
But shepherds from
Judean hills
Found the little
Lord Jesus there.

"Before I formed you in the womb, I knew you ... " Jeremiah 1:5

"If my father and my mother forsake me, then the Lord will take me up." Psalm 27:10

Please join us Saturday 7 a.m. as we reach out to "the lost and needy who find themselves where they should not be." We will be there for our Lord Jesus and for the babies ... until the killing stops.

Black Genocide at Abortion Mill

Eighty percent of the children killed at the abortuary were Black. We notice that the majority of women going in our African Americans. According to Massachusetts Blacks for Life two babies are aborted for every three black babies born. The Black population was 12% but went down in the nineties to 8% because of abortion.

From what we saw:
Ten moms came ( 8B,1W,1H).
Ten babies died.

Again, I plead with you to pray for us on Tuesday and Saturday mornings. We need prayer support. Please put us on on your prayer lists. If you cannot be there, please pray. You can start the night before or whenever you can. We can not do this without your prayers! Pray that all moms scheduled to kill their babies would have a changed heart. Pray for the salvation of the clients and the abortion providers. Plead before God and come against the enemy. Pray that legalized child killing would end in our nation.

"Through faith and patience inherit the promises." Heb. 6:12

Over 30 prolifers came out to the streets. Pray for Stan Gray who is sick. We missed him greatly. We were blessed to have two clergy (Fr. Markey and Pr. Dave). There were no escorts. The police and the parking lot man were there. A young girl came in that looked under age. It was reported for police investigation. Sexual activity with children under 17 is a crime in Connecticut. Healthcare workers are mandated to report it if they suspect it. Many of these young girls that go in for abortions are products of sexual abuse. Sidewalk counselors and prayer warriors all around the nation need to be aware of this and report it to police when they suspect a crime.

Here is a word from Mark Crutcher, Life Dynamics: "Because Christmas is often a time of reflection, I ask that you pause for a moment and consider what a true blessing it is to be part of the pro-life effort. For whatever reason, the God that created the universe and whose power is beyond our ability to comprehend, has chosen you and me to defend the most precious of all His creations. We may never know why we were selected for this role, but let us resolve that we will never see it as a burden but an opportunity to serve the Lord .... Now, enjoy the holidays with your family and loved ones. But in the joy of the season, don't forget about the children who did not survive to celebrate with us. And let us all pray that next year will not find so many empty highchairs around our nation's Christmas table."

Nancy and Tom took a group of the prolife kids out to pizza and to Beardsley Park to see the Christmas lights. We thank God for them and their ministry. Please come out every Tues. and Sat. 7 a.m. sharp! Most of the moms go in between 7-7:30 am. We don't want to miss anyone. The early bird gets the baby. We need Spanish speakers, too. I hope to see you as we reach out to the lost and needy who find themselves where they should not be. We will be there ... till the killing stops.

In His Service,
Marilyn Carroll  

December 10, 2002  

I want to thank all of you who prayed for us and humbly ask you to please continue. The prayers worked miracles on Main Street.

Eleven moms came to abort,
four changed their minds,
one turned away.

Carmen took one of them home. Please pray for these moms and babies. Persistence and endurance are two important spiritual attributes in the Christian life. A lack of endurance is one of the greatest causes of defeat.

"Let us not lose heart in doing good, for in due time we shall reap if we do not grow weary." Galatians 6:9

"As the Father has sent Me, I also send you." John 20:21

As we go out on the streets, we represent Jesus. We are His hands His feet, His voice. We should do what we think He would do as we help bear the burdens of others. We are co-laborers with Christ. Four clergy came out yesterday (Pastors Miller, Hawkins, Matthews and Fr. Smith). We thank God for these men that took time and sacrificed for the lost. Pray for all our leaders please. Police and the lot attendant were present. There were no escorts. We also found out that another girl changed her mind on Tuesday, last week. PTL!

I hope to see you all out on the streets every Tues. and Fri. at 7 a.m. and on. Stacia needs someone to go with her at 11 a.m. for post abortion literature distribution and ministering to moms after their abortions. Please pray for Pastor Leo, who is still in the hospital and pray for Pastor Grove who had his signs stolen in York City. We reach out to the lost and needy who find themselves where they should not be. We will be there ... till the killing stops. With his permission, I am adding a letter Ron Coddington wrote to the CT Post (below).

Blessings to all of you.

Subject:Your Article in the Post

Mr. Mayko,

Read your piece reporting the legal charges against Mr. Stanley Scott. With no exaggeration, I find this entire scenario quite fascinating. Mr. Scott is a slender balding old man. His most egregious offenses include calling out to pregnant women and their male companions to have compassion on their unborn children. And he often displays graphic but accurate photos of aborted children. That's it! Mr. Scott is a paradigm of free speech and accuracy in reporting. And Mr. Scott is about as dangerous to this community as six inch surf on the beach at Seaside Park. When one considers that this country has legalized abortion through the entire nine months of pregnancy and that 40 million American kids have been destroyed since that infamous Supreme Court decision, Stan's "crimes" seem pretty small.

To see the great and the mighty defenders of justice in Hartford bringing legal action against this old man should strike us as totally ridiculous. Aren't there other things far more useful that our prosecutors could be involved in to make the City of Bridgeport safe to walk in night or day? Couldn't these well-heeled folks busy themselves with routing out corruption in our city governments or attacking and defeating the illegal drug rings or fighting and resolving inner city violence? But struggling so very very hard to give little old Mr. Scott a $1000 fine? This is utterly ridiculous.

In this vein, Mr. Mayko, I would challenge you to take a Post photographer inside the Summit Clinic. I would challenge you to do an honest photo-journalistic piece on the marvels of modern abortion. Show some full color pictures of the "products of conception" left inside a suction machine bottle. Interview the nurses as they count tiny hands and feet to make sure they "got it all". Show clinic workers bagging up the "surgical waste" and sending it to the incinerators. Perhaps do a study of the many women who never will bear children because of the damage done by abortion. Or interview the women who weep each year on the birth dates of the babies they permitted to be scrubbed from their wombs.

Why don't you stand up, Mr. Mayko, and expose abortion for what it is instead of hiding behind the pleasant names given it like "choice" and "a woman's right". Instead of castigating the foes of abortion, charging them with senseless law violations, isn't it time for the Stan Scotts' of this world to be lauded by the media for devoting themselves to proclaiming life in the face of a culture of death?

December 3, 2002  

We had a blustery cold day on the streets of Bridgeport, Tuesday Dec. 3, 2002. Winter has come upon us early . Remember to dress in layers, wear a hat or a hood, and keep your neck covered. Get disposable hand warmers for your hands and feet. It's ok if you have to go in your car to warm up a few minutes. We want you all to stay healthy.

Thirty lifesavers came out early in an attempt to save each child that was brought there to be killed. Pastor Randy drove the CHS bus with some students to pray before school. Pastor Miller and Fr. Smith were also there to represent the clergy. Police and the parking lot attendant were present. Five student escorts were there for a short while. Stacia came alone for post abortion counseling around 11 AM. She still needs help. From what we saw:

Seven women came at baby killing time.
One changed her mind (Carmen took them home.)
Two turned away.
Four tiny children lost their lives.

These babies are now in plastic bags waiting for the medical waste trucks to pick them up. Who will hear the silent screams of these innocent defenseless little ones? Who will cry for them? No one should die alone without anyone to love them or mourn for them. To consent to remain neutral and silent really means "to find acceptable, to approve of, to be pleased with, and to willingly be a part of."

God calls us to "Destroy arguments and every pretension raising itself against the knowledge of God". 2 Cori. 10:5

We must not lose the vision of why we are here: to win the battle. We hate the signs of aborted babies. We are sorry that children have to see them, but those signs save lives. Parents need to tell their children what is going on in the abortuaries so their kids will think twice about abortion when they grow up.

"Evil is never more dangerous than when cloaked in the guise of normalcy."
Rev. Mike Warren, Rescue Rochester

Please plan to join us on the streets at 3787 Main St.any Tuesday and Saturday morning until the killing stops 7 a.m. The "Course" is still available. Learn ... to forget about yourself and really depend on Jesus. Enjoy ... a taste of Holy Servanthood as you draw the lost to reconcile with God. Suffer ... for Christ's sake and the hope of the Gospel invasion on souls. Experience ... one on one encounters with your troubled neighbors. Count ... at all Joy. You receive "on the job training" as you Shadow ... an experienced sidewalk counselor. Pray ... for the women, men, boys, girls, abortion providers and escorts. Join ... in prayer vigils. Develop ... gifts of evangelism, prayer, teaching, mercy, apologetics, and public speaking. Discover ... your call to be an ambassador for Christ, as though Christ was pleading through you.

Eighty Babies Killed Here in November

I am sad to report what we saw on abortion days this month. Eighty precious little lives were brutally taken from innocent tiny children who could not defend themselves. I am glad about the fourteen moms that turned away and the four moms that changed their minds. But my heart grieves for the continuos shedding of innocent blood from these defenseless babies in our community. Abortion will stop when the Church is willing to inconvenience itself for however long it takes to stand against this evil. The gates of Hell cannot prevail against His Church. We see that all across the nation as abortion mills close down. There are 47% less clinics now than in 1993.

Today eight moms came, three turned away and one changed her mind. Carmen took this mom home. Keep praying for her please, God knows who she is. Her boyfriend is pressuring her. She knows it is wrong and really does not want to do it. Four valuable babies were left to die today. These babies were created in the image of God. They were His "imagebearers". There was a different abortionist today. This time it was a young woman in her thirties with brown hair. Please pray for these abortion providers to stop the killing. Pray most of all that they would come to know Jesus as Lord and Savior.

"Woe to those who call evil good and good evil, who put darkness for light and light for darkness, who put bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter." Isaiah 5:20

We had over 35 lifesavers on the street today between the ages of 1 to 81.The police and a lot attendant were there. We had video, no escorts. Fr. Markey was there to represent the clergy of the greater Bridgeport area. A lady in a van stopped to talk to some of our sign holders. She asked if we "have gone to the White House about this". The answer of course was "yes". Her next question was "What happened?". Our people replied, "We're still here, but hoping for the best."

This reminds me of King Jotham in 2 Kings 15. He sought God faithfully and walked steadfastly before Him, but he refused to demand respect for the One and only God. He let the people worship false Gods. Jotham did not tear down the high places, like he could have. Why? He obviously feared the people more than he feared God. He chose to overlook terribly grievous sins despite the prophetic warnings (Isaiah). That is what is happening today in America with "Christian" men in political offices. Pray for our President and those in authority.

From Time Magazine's informal poll: When do you think life begins? Very interesting response so far. Seventy-thousand people had responded. 24.5% say they believe that life begins at conception. Almost as many, 23.1% say that they "don't know". Only 8.3% said "at birth". Looks like people need to do more thinking about this profound and important question. http://www.time.com/time/covers/1101021111/story.html

On a more pleasant tone, I would like to pass these encouraging words to all you lifesavers from Fr. Francis McCloskey, NY: This Thanksgiving - I should like to give thanks for the bravest and best among us - the sidewalk counselors who walk in the valley of death and fear no evil, because He is at their side with His rod and staff to comfort them, for their brave witness, for the lives they have saved that they will not know about until the day of the Great Judgment, for the prayers they have prayed on the sidewalk, for the hope they have given death-bound mothers. These great Christians receive no thanks from church leaders, no recognition from the proLife establishment, no honors at proLife banquets and in proLife bulletins. They are invisible to most everybody except.... God.

We rejoice with our brother Steve and all the prolifers in South Carolina: the number of reported surgical abortions in 2001 decreased by just over 500 from the year before: 2001 - 7,014; 2000 - 7,527. A net drop of 50% since reported surgical abortions peaked in South Carolina in 1988 at 14,129.

My face is set, My gait is fast, My goal is heaven, My road is narrow, My way is rough, My companions few, My guide reliable, My mission clear - Serve the Lord Jesus with all your heart, mind, and strength and love your neighbor as yourself (Christian Manifesto). Hope to see you all out on the streets in Bridgeport, Tuesday and Saturdays, 7 a.m.
We are there to reach out to the lost and needy who find themselves where they should not be. We will be there ... until the killing stops.

The sin of our times is "the sin that believes in nothing, cares for nothing, seeks to know nothing, interferes with nothing, enjoys nothing, hates nothing, finds purpose in nothing, and remains alive because there is nothing for which it will die." Dorothy Sayers

Over 30 lifesavers believed, cared, and interfered as they came out to the streets today to rescue the innocent from slaughter. God's word went forth to battle in the heavenlies. Four clergy (Pr. Randy, Pr. Miller, Pr. Mike, Fr. Smith), were there to rightly represent the leadership of the church of Jesus Christ. There were five college kids that came out of the mill with white copy paper taped to them that said "Volunteer Escort". What a sight to see. I don't think anyone took them up on their offer. Clients probably thought they were joking. City police and a private parking lot attendant were there. We had Cori and Vinny on video as nine moms came to kill their children. Four turned away and five little ones were left to die. We mourn for them and all of those that have gone before them.

GIVING THANKS TO OUR LORD Despite the trials and difficulties that were endured, the Pilgrims had a feast of Thanksgiving to praise God after their first harvest. We must do the same and thank him for the harvest he has given us over the past 13 years of ministry. "If ye walk in My statutes, and keep My commandments, and do them; Then I will give you rain in due season, and the land shall yield her increase, and the trees of the field shall yield their fruit ... and I will give peace in the land." Lev. 26:3,4,6

Father God:
We thank you for over 300 salvations we were able to minister to the lost and needy.
We thank you for over 1000 babies lives that were spared because you heard our pleas.
We thank you for all the faithful saints that you sent and they came -- out to the streets.
We thank you for always supplying each and every need of the ministry.
We thank you for our pastor and other pastors, that have been supportive of our work and encouraged us in some way. We thank you for all of those that can't come but pray off site and those that do odd jobs, large and small.
We thank you for sculpturing us to become more like you each time we were inconvenienced or made uncomfortable as we did the work you ordained for us to do.
We thank you for all the awesome brothers and sisters near and far, that we have grown to love and know, because of the common pain and fatigue we experience in this battle. We thank you for the national leaders and lawyers you have set before us, that never flinch or cower to the roars of the lion, but teach us by their actions what it really means to "lay down your life for your neighbor".
We thank you for the discernment and perception you have given us in spiritual matters.
We thank you for your protection and your favor as you fulfill your promise to never leave us or forsake us.
And most of all we thank you for sending us your son, Jesus, who dug us out of a pit and gave us eternal life with you.
WE ARE GRATEFUL THIS THANKSGIVING AND ALWAYS - FOR EVERY BLESSING IS FROM YOU.

"MILLRATE" DOWN IN AMERICA"

According to the most recent poll by Life Dynamics, Inc., the count of abortion mills listed in every phonebook of the United States is down 47%. In 1993 there were 1361 abortuaries listed, in 1998 that count went down to 923 (dropped 32%) and now the current count is 717. The battle is being won for the lives of America's children! Our goal is to stop abortion, not just stop abortions. We must have the attitude of one working in the emergency room. This ministry is time sensitive, it is a matter of life and death.

Mark Crutcher gave a good word picture in his November newscast. Let's say God is going to stop abortion on such and such a day. BUT he told us he wants us to work hard with him at ending it so we can shorten this battle by one day. And you say -- only one day? You mean I am working this hard to end abortion just one day sooner than God can end it? Stop and think about it. Thirty-three hundred babies are killed daily here. So if you helped end abortion one day sooner, that means 3300 babies that were supposed to die do not. Now is all your work done in vain? Of course not, it is well worth it! Who can put a price on a life? Decisions we make today may stop abortion someday, somewhere, down the pipeline.

Proverbs 28:1 "The wicked man flees though no one pursues, but the righteous are as bold as a lion."

I thank God for the forty brave souls that came out yesterday in the wind and the cold. I am sure many are feeling it today. They laid their lives down for their neighbors that were scheduled to die. These babies did not die alone. We were there pleading for them and they know it. By praying and showing the truth, some moms drove by a few times and decided not to go in. They were noticed by one of the sign holders. Police, escorts, and their man Daryl were there. There was a different abortionist. He was a male, short, thin, not the regular one. We need to pray for him. We pray the Lord rains his conviction on all abortion providers, that what they are doing is wrong. A doctor should be one to preserve health and do anything he can to save a life, not utterly destroy it. Not only does the innocent baby feel the pain as he/she is ripped apart, the Mom will feel the guilt, sooner or later, for killing her very own son or daughter. That is why we try to have people there for post abortion time - to hand out literature about the love and forgiveness available through Christ with true repentance.

2 Cori 9:13 "Because of the service by which you have proved yourselves, men will praise God for the obedience that accompanies your confession of the gospel of Christ, and for your generosity in sharing with them and with everyone else."

From what we saw, seven pregnant moms went in with their tiny children alive in their wombs. These seven innocent babies were killed by paid assassins and then seven moms came out without their sons and daughters. Their parents left them behind, ripped apart, dead and cold, in a container -- to be used for whatever the killing center wants. But like Pastor Steve said, "God collects only tears and prayers." Jesus has all our tears and all our prayers for these precious little ones that are needlessly dying day in and day out. Fr. Francis wrote in most Christian churches of the US today there was proclaimed Matt.25:31 (also Ezek.34:11 and 1Cori.15:20) "the least of these". How many preachers will have added into the list "I was a child in the womb in Bridgeport [or one's own locality]. Did you try to save Me?" Or "I was a pregnant mom in crisis. Did you take Me in?"

Galatians 6:9 "Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up."

We must not be oppressed by this enemy. Through oppression we are tested, chastised and brought into submission of His authority. We cannot be weak in our warfare against the enemy. We cannot run and hide in our sanctuaries. Our shelters can turn into strongholds and keep us from the work God has for us to do. With the power of God we can overcome the enemy. We can't let Satan ruin our crops (our children). Our enemy wants to impoverish us, dry us up, empty us, cause us to fail. But God ...

Judges 6:14 "The LORD turned to him and said, "Go in the strength you have and save Israel out of Midian's hand. Am I not sending you?" 15 "But Lord," Gideon asked, "how can I save Israel? My clan is the weakest in Manasseh, and I am the least in my family." 16 The LORD answered, "I will be with you, and you will strike down all the Midianites together." 23 But the LORD said to him, "Peace! Do not be afraid. You are not going to die."
25b "....Tear down your father's altar to Baal ... " 28 "In the morning when the men of the town got up, there was Baal's altar, demolished" 34 Then the Spirit of the LORD came upon Gideon, and he blew a trumpet, summoning the Abiezrites to follow him."

We can be like Gideon's army. Small in number but mighty by His power. Our Lord does not want us to be defeated, He wants us to be victorious! Victory begins with our cry for help. We must be willing to listen and obey what the Lord is telling us to do. We must break free from our inner fears because Satan has no authority over us. We are mighty warriors for Jesus. He is our commander in chief. We must recognize and forsake every idol that hinders us from His service. God knows our fears and insecurities. He shows us how to live in the freedom of His Word by His Spirit. All we have to do is just show up ... God will do the rest. Let your theology become biography on the streets (FB). Hope you all go out to your local killing centers. Babies need you, moms need you. Jesus needs you. Be His voice, His hands, His feet... He is the head, we are His body. We reach out to the lost and needy who find themselves where they should not be. We will be there Tues. and Sat. 7 a.m. until the killing stops (3787 Main St. Bpt.)

Greetings Lifesavers!

Over 40 prolifers came out to the streets in Bridgeport to stand up for their little neighbors that were sentenced to die. There were escorts, police and an armed guard present.

"Jesus hath many lovers of His heavenly Kingdom, but few bearers of His Cross. He hath many desirous of consolation, but few of tribulation. Many love Jesus so long as no adversities befall them." Thomas aKempis (1380-1471)

Yesterday our Pastor John spoke on the persecuted church. We are blessed in this nation when we compare ourselves to others. Our persecutions have been scarce. We thank God for all of you that sacrifice your Tuesday and Saturday mornings to minister to the lost who found themselves where they should not be! Thank you Church for listening to the call to rescue the innocent and their families. The voice of innocent blood cries out to Christians for help and protection. Fr. Markey and Pr. Ron were there to represent the clergy. Our Pastor Dave is back and well from his missionary trip to Jordon.

Ten clients came at baby killing time.
Two turned away.
We believe eight babies were left to die.

We mourn for these babies that wereGod's "imagebearers" (Gen.9:4) One of these young ladies would not talk to us when she left but the older woman with her took all the info and was interested in the services available. Right now we are in the process of trying to find a home for one of the moms that changed her mind a few weeks ago. She is 17 years old, will be 18 in December. She has a daughter a year and a half old, and is pregnant. She is presently in a GED program in Bridgeport to get her high school diploma. After that she plans to go into a job training program. Her mom wants her out of the house. This young lady has come to church the few weeks and wants help. Pastor Turner's wife, Debbie, took her to their home yesterday after church. If any of you know of a home she can stay at and be discipled please let us know. We are currently looking into a few options, but have not secured a place for her yet.

Other needs are diapers size 1, a videographer on Tues. and Sat. from 7am-9am. Also, Stacia could use more women for post abortion counseling at 11 am on Tues or Sat when the moms leave.

I hope to see you all out on the streets tomorrow - Tuesday and Saturday, 7 a.m. sharp.

" The words of the wicked are like a murderous ambush, but the words of the godly save lives." Proverbs 12:6

My granddaughter Cori read me these words today on the way to the abortion mill. I had her repeat them. I said "Cor, that's what happens at the mill." And God is faithful to perform His words.

"The way of the godly leads to life; their path does not lead to death." Proverbs 12:28

Jesus is the giver of life, physically and spiritually.

Over 40 lifesavers came out in the drizzle today. Three clergy were present (Fr. Smith, Pastor Miller, Pastor Marshall). Five college deathscorts and the armed guard were there for the clinic. Both sides had video today. A Yale student was interviewing people for her report. The police were on duty. Pastor Randy called to tell us they were praying at the school. We appreciate all the prayers of the saints who cannot be there! We thank God for all of you that are there! It is so important for us to have prayer support when we are at the killing center. I know many were praying today, almost half that came to abort, left. We give our Lord and King, Jesus Christ, all the glory for this victory over death.

We are saddened though about the savage act of death five babies experienced today. It is hard to gaze upon the lifeless bodies of aborted babies and know that child killing continues. These precious babies did not die alone. We were there to plead for them and mourn for them. We love our little brothers and sisters. We know God has a plan for each life. They are precious and valuable in His eyes. They know we were there and someday we will meet them in Heaven. From what we surmise, nine babies went into the death camp with their moms, four came back out alive, the other five did not make it.

Nine moms came to abort.
Four turned away.
Five babies were left to die.

"And some that seem weakest and least important are really the most necessary." 1 Cori. 12:22

One of those babies could have grown up to be the scientist that cures cancer or the missionary that leads many to the Lord. I pray that we would have a renewed broken heart and commitment to try to save the babies and their moms.

I hope to see all the locals on Saturday 7 a.m. sharp, the early bird gets the baby, please set your alarm clocks. We will reach out to the lost and needy, who find themselves where they should not be. We will be there ... until the killing stops.

In this crucial time we need to repent, fast and pray as we continue to stand against the giant evil of abortion. We are praying for an end to baby killing in our nation and our community. Please pray for all the prolifers on the streets locally and nationwide to be effective for His glory and pray the Lord cleanses and protects us while we are there and when we leave. We need to pray for those in government positions to be bold enough to stand for truth. Let us take this time seriously and as we humble ourselves before His throne begging for His mercy and His favor on our nation that is not deserving. We have ignored our God and not obeyed His commands. We see our streets are filled with horror as "bloodshed follows bloodshed".

"I also gave them over to statutes that were not good and laws they could not live by; I let them become defiled through their gifts "the sacrifice of every firstborn" that I might fill them with horror so they would know that I am the LORD." Ezekiel 20:25,26

About 35 prolifers came out to pray. Cori and Vinny were on video for us. One of the new college student escorts got a little too pushy with Carmen today. The police officer (M.R.#797) had to speak to her. She apologized. A few of our youth were there, there was an all night lock-in at church so some were a bit tired. Fr. Markey, Pstr. Ron and Fr. Smith were there to represent the clergy of the local church. I believe the prayers and the signs saved lives again. One of the mom clients came in crying after seeing the signs on the roadway and the Holy Spirit softening her heart. She went into the mill and came back out, still crying. From what we saw:

TEN MOMS CAME TO ABORT.
TWO TURNED AWAY.
EIGHT BABIES WERE LEFT TO DIE.

"You need to keep on patiently doing God's will if you want Him to do for you all that He has promised. His coming will not be delayed much longer. And those whose faith had made them good in God's sight must live by faith, trusting Him in everything. Otherwise, if they shrink back, God will have no pleasure in them. " Hebrews 10:36-38

Stephen Ertelt of Infonet reports:
The pro-life victories in Tuesday's elections have provided us with a tremendous opportunity to pass meaningful pro-life legislation through Congress. Now that the Senate agenda will be determined by friendly lawmakers, pro-life judicial nominees -- or ones who will respect the rule of law and will uphold common sense pro-life laws -- will finally have fair hearings and a chance to receive an up or down confirmation vote.

Our presence of the streets should be strong. This is no time to shrink back. Be encouraged, truth always prevails. One of the young moms (14) that changed her mind had her baby November 3rd. His name is Kevin and he weighed in at 7lbs. 9 oz. at Bridgeport Hospital. Carmen visited her with flowers and some baby things she needed. We'll have photos soon. Her parents are going to help her raise the child, they love their new little baby boy. Yesterday we went and got most of the other supplies they need for now. We do need more newborn and size 1 diapers and wipes. Thank you all for your help, I can never stress enough how much we appreciate you. This is a team effort, we cannot do this alone. Today two moms came to church, one with her baby in her arms and one with her baby in her belly. PTL! God is so good.

November 5, 2002  

Over thirty concerned people stopped by 3787 Main Street during the span of the morning to try to do something to save the lives of babies sentenced to die and introduce their moms to Jesus. If you would like to join in this effort we desperately need people to be there 7 a.m. sharp to either counsel or hold a picture of a baby. If no one is there and we miss a client going in, we lose that opportunity to save that life. (Stacia could also use some help in the post abortion department, that starts at 11 a.m. )

"The great work nearest to His heart - the gathering in of the poor, the maimed, the blind, or the victims of sin, debauchery, and crime, the thieves and the harlots - is the very last thing desired and expected in modern sanctuaries." - Catherine Booth

"Jesus wasn't a neutral guy. Jesus was the turner of tables, confronter of the "sons of the devil". Jesus was the one who sent you on your way with the command to "sin no more." - Ken Geis

Five college escorts in orange vests were out on the sidewalk trying to combat our efforts to inform the moms and dads about the truth. We hear them say to the clients "you don't have to take their literature". These intellectuals seem to think the people going into the mill are so dumb they cannot tell us on their own without their prompting. If these students were really "pro-choice" they would offer them a real choice, but we know it is all a word game that really means "pro-abortion". Please pray for all the abortion providers and clients to have eyes to see and ears to hear what our Lord Jesus is saying to them. The abortionist (MAB) came at 10 a.m. There was a police presence and an armed guard on site. Pastor Randy and Father Smith were representatives for the local clergy. From what we saw:

Nine came to abort.
Two changed their minds.
One turned away.
Six precious babies were killed.

In Ezekiel we see this prophet had desires like us. He wanted the people to understand who God is, even though they set up idols.

'And you took your sons and daughters whom you bore to Me and sacrificed them as food to the idols. Was your prostitution not enough? You slaughtered My children and sacrificed them to the idols. In all your detestable practices and your prostitution you did not remember the days of your youth ... ' Ez. 16:20-22a

Ezekiel had great enthusiasm and imagination as he wrote, preached, warned and prophesied. His whole purpose was to deliver a heartrending word of divine judgment and a consoling word of hope. Ezekiel had God's hand upon him, he had God's word in him, and God spoke through him. Ezekiel modeled the truth he spoke, and always reasoned with others to have hope in God. NOTHING IS IMPOSSIBLE WITH GOD. A cold heart can be warmed by the fire of the living God (Ez. 11:19). Please come join us this Saturday 7 a.m. sharp, as we reach out to the lost and needy ... who find themselves where they should not be. Set your alarm clocks early. We will be there ... until the killing stops!

Jesus told them, "The harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few. Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into His harvest field. Go! I am sending you out like lambs among wolves. " Luke 10:2,3

TOO MANY BABIES DIED

Even if one baby dies it is too many, but this day was especially disturbing! From what we saw:

Sixteen moms came to abort.
ONE CHANGED HER MIND.
Fifteen babies were left to die!

Over fifty saints came out to pray later on in the morning. We especially need people to come early, by 7 a.m. If you can only come for a short time please be there by seven and hold a large baby sign on the streets. We like to show a live baby and an aborted baby, side by side. When moms drive down the street they can see the comparison and many do change their minds from this. The clinic had their armed guard and escorts on duty. The police were present. Four clergy were there to represent the leadership of the churches (Pstrs. Rick, Larry, Ron, Fr. Markey). Some youth came and have been faithful to get up early on their only day to sleep. This is what it means to lay down your life for your brother. When you know little children are being killed on 3787 Main Street, your love for them compels you to come and try to save them from slaughter. Jesus tells us to love your neighbor as yourself.

"The King will reply, ˜I tell you the truth, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers of Mine, you did for Me." Then he will say to those on his left, "Depart from Me, you who are cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels. For I was hungry and you gave Me nothing to eat, I was thirsty and you gave Me nothing to drink, I was a stranger and you did not invite Me in, I needed clothes and you did not clothe Me, I was sick and in prison and you did not look after Me." They also will answer, "Lord, when did we see You hungry or thirsty or a stranger or needing clothes or sick or in prison, and did not help You?" He will reply, "I tell you the truth, whatever you did not do for one of the least of these, you did not do for Me." Then they will go away to eternal punishment, but the righteous to eternal life. Matthew 25:40-46

The couple that changed their minds was outside near the mill door while we pleaded with them not to kill their child. The Holy Spirit heard our prayers, ministered to them and softened their hearts. They came to talk to us.

"I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit in you; I will remove from you your heart of stone and give you a heart of flesh. And I will put My Spirit in you and move you to follow My decrees and be careful to keep My laws." Ezekiel 36: 26, 27

This couple needs an apartment in Bridgeport and another Mom needs an office job. Please help search for these needs for these young people. Carmen had taken a young lady home Tuesday. Friday she talked to this girl's Mom. The girl came to church today and out to brunch with us. A lot of these young people need discipleship and someone to come along side them. If you can help in anyway, please let us know. We cannot do this ministry alone, we need your help. Being on the streets is the front-line of this battle, but we need a supply line behind us, too. A lot of prayer, footwork, paperwork, phonecalls, etc., goes into helping the needy. After we say "don't kill your baby" there is lots of follow-up work to do. We have some moms that we have been helping for eleven years now. We will be there for them, as long as they need us.

America has become like Israel in many ways. Jeremiah says:
"My eyes fail from weeping, I am in torment within, my heart is poured out on the ground because my people are destroyed, because children and infants faint in the streets of the city." Lam. 2:11

Jeremiah wept from a broken heart. The people of God had rejected Him and His laws. What makes a person cry says a lot about whether or not he is Christ-centered or self-centered. Jeremiah always had the hope that the Lord is good to those who wait for Him and seek Him. The leaders deprived the people of their God-given rights and perverted justice in the courts. Just like today.

"See how the precious children of Jerusalem, worth their weight in gold, are now treated like pots of clay. Even the jackals feed their young, but not my people Israel. They ignore their children's cries/" Lam. 4:2,3

Christians must study the candidates and vote this Tuesday for righteousness to return to our nation. For more info on those running for office you can go to wevoteprolife.com, christiancoalition.org, priestsforlife.org, dnet.org and others. Be informed before you enter the voting booth. In defense of marriage,Town Meeting, will be held at Assumption Hall, 545 Stratfield Ave. Wed. Nov. 6, 6:45 p.m. Call 203-372-4301 x 314 for more info.

Congratulations to Pastor Chuck and Kim Wilson on the birth of their son, Michael Todd, born 10/30/02. I believe this is the eighth child in the Wilson tribe. PTL! God is so good, we thank Him for those arrows he has given.

"Like arrows in the hands of a warrior are sons born in one's youth. Blessed is the man whose quiver is full of them. They will not be put to shame when they contend with their enemies in the gate. " Psalm 127:4

Please pray for our leaders and pastors that have gone and are going to international mission fields. Flip Benham, Dave Lackey, Daniel Thompson, Bob Behn, Tom McGlade have gone to Israel. Pastor Dave will be going to Jordan this week. Pray for their safety and for them to accomplish the will of our Father.

Back home we encourage all of you to go out to your local mission fields on the streets. I hope to see our people Tuesday morning 7 a.m. as we reach out to the lost and needy that find themselves where they should not be. We will be there ... until the killing stops.

"Have you noticed how much praying for revival has been going on of late -- and how little revival has resulted? I believe the problem is that we have been trying to substitute praying for obeying, and it simply will not work. To pray for revival while ignoring the plain precept laid down in Scripture is to waste a lot of words and get nothing for our trouble. Prayer will become effective when we stop using it as a substitute for obedience." - A. W. Tozer (1897-1963)

Over thirty lifesavers came out to the streets today. Two orange vested student escorts were present across the street, one armed guard in their lot and one police officer in his car. The Deputy Chief came to visit, too. The abortionist arrived before ten. Pastor Miller and Fr. Smith were on location to represent the leadership in the church. Pastor Randy called and said they just got back from Romania and they were praying at the chool 7 a.m. this morning. From what we saw:

Fifteen moms came to abort.
Two changed their minds.
One turned away.
Twelve precious babies were killed.

October stats: 68 babies killed, 13 turn-aways, 7 definite saves.

"Truly it takes a village to kill a child. However it only takes the local Church to stop the killing by taking to the streets with the light and life of King Jesus. I am seeing an obedient remnant grow as faithful Christians confront the source of violence and bloodshed in our streets -- the local abortion mills and the community that enables the grisly child murder to take place. The killing stopped at the coliseums filled with gladiator fans when the early Church faithfully rescued the babies sacrificed to the idols of that period." (Pastor Steve Mashburn)

"Your children are not safe at anyplace at anytime." Beltway sniper note.
      This is the same message the born have been sending to the unborn for the past 30 years. Children in their mother's wombs are never safe anyplace or anytime because of legalized abortion in America. Arrogant serial killers prey on innocent children and vulnerable women every day in abortion mills.

"I also gave them over to statutes that were not good and laws they could not live by; I let them become defiled by their gifts -- the sacrifice of every first born -- that I might fill them with horror so they would know that I am the Lord." Ezekiel 20:25-26
"...No one could go about his business safely because of his enemy, for I had turned every man against his neighbor." Zechariah 8:10
"...Since you did not hate bloodshed, bloodshed will pursue you." Ezekiel 35:6

Please join us on the street as we reach out to the poor and needy who find themselves where they should not be. We will be there ... till the killing stops!

Oct. 26, 2002 - street report

I am very proud to say we had 50 prolifers out yesterday on the streets in the wind and pouring rain! Our Christians are not wimps. They come out in rain, snow, heat, cold. They are committed to Jesus and His work! Seven college escorts, police and the armed guard were present. Fr. Markey was a sight for sore eyes. We were glad to see him back from his trip! Pastor Rick brought the Calvary youth again, PTL! From what I saw:

Eleven moms came to abort
Two turned away.
Nine precious babies were left to die a painful death.

Update on the young Mom from last Saturday: she got married yesterday. Please pray for the newlyweds. I went there yesterday and met her brother who is a priest, and her two sisters. She is reading her Bible and growing to know the Lord. She needs a job, if you know of any, please let us know.

"For I testify that they gave as much as they were able, and even beyond their ability. Entirely on their own, they urgently pleaded with us for the privilege of sharing in this service to the saints. And they did not do as we expected, but they gave themselves first to the Lord and then to us in keeping with God's will." 2 Cori. 8:3-5

Today was a disturbing day for Dads. We saw one Dad take his daughter in with his wife. What kind of a Dad would take his precious teenager into abortion mill, and trust her life with strangers? What kind of a Dad would have his own grandchild killed? I think we have a man problem in America, men have forgotten what real manhood is all about. How sad. Does he even realize the consequence this will bear on his daughter's life? Our consciences are seared in America. We have no shame. Men are supposed to protect and defend innocent children. They should set a standard in the home of integrity and character.

Malachi 4:6 "He will turn the hearts of the fathers to their children, and the hearts of the children to their fathers; or else I will come and strike the land with a curse."

Then we had another situation where a couple went in. The young man took all the literature as the young lady marched ahead into the killing center. He came out afterwards and was talking to the police and the guard. It seemed to me like he was very upset and did not want her to abort the baby. He called his Mom on the phone who then came there. She went in to try to talk to the young woman but was unable to. Now we have a young man that wants his baby, but has no say. But if the young lady kept the baby he would be responsible for child support for eighteen years. It doesn't make sense. I left at 10:20 a.m. so I am not sure what else happened, but from what I saw:

Twenty-five prolifers came to pray (Pstr. Miller, Fr. Smith).
Eleven moms came to abort.
Two turned away.
Nine babies died.

"Bloodshed pollutes the land." Numbers 35:33, "They shed innocent blood, the blood of their sons and their daughters, whom they sacrificed to the idols of Canaan (convenience), and the land was desecrated by their blood. Psalm 106:38 "For the children not yet being born, not having done any good or evil ..." Romans 9:11

We need to all get on our knees and repent before God, for ourselves, our churches and our nation. We have strayed so far from Him. It looks like there is no turning back. But I know nothing is impossible with God and I believe by faith that ...

"If My people, who are called by My name, will humble themselves and pray and seek My face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land. " 2 Chron. 7:14

HALF THAT CAME LEFT!

Today was a good day ministering at 3787 Main Street. The Holy Spirit moved mightily. From what we saw:

Ten women came.
Two changed their minds.
Three turned away.
Five babies were left to die.

Over thirty precious saints came to pray this Saturday morning. Police and the armed guard were on duty. Pastor Rick and Fr. Smith were there to represent the clergy. Pastor Rick brought some of the youth group with him and challenged them to bring more next week. We were so blessed to have them there! It's something about young blood. When the young moms and dads going into the killing center see other young people in front praying, it makes such a difference.

Galatians 5:14 The entire law is summed up in a single command: "Love your neighbor as yourself."

Today, a young lady, eighteen years old, came running to me crying,with a teddy bear in her arms. She said her dad, her mom and her boyfriend were trying to force her to have an abortion that she did not want. The graphic pictures helped convince her more to not abort. We talked to the mom, the boyfriend, and the young mom for quite a while. We even got to show her one of the babies that was saved. (Alma came with Christina to visit us.)

The boyfriend got disgusted and left. The mom left and said we could have the daughter. I prayed with this young lady for salvation. We took her out to breakfast and she was going to stay with Millie until we got her a permanent home. Little did we know, Debbie, the pastor's wife from our Bridgeport church plant, was talking to the girl's mom around the corner and invited her to come home with her. While I was at the diner, Debbie called on my cell. We thank God for Debbie, the Lord really used her on the streets today, she ministered to many, including another couple and the police officer. She told me she was blessed to be there. Thank you Jesus!

Psalm 126: 5"Those who sow in tears will reap with songs of joy. 6 He who goes out weeping, carrying seed to sow, will return with songs of joy, carrying sheaves with him."

Hours passed and Debbie ministered to the mom. Eventually, Millie brought the girl back to her mom, they reconciled and went home. We gave her a Bible, books, a baby model that was the same age as her baby, and booties to save. Tomorrow this beautiful girl is suposed to come to church with us. And guess where she was born? Jerusalem, Israel! Please keep her in your prayers. This is the beginning of a tough road, but the right road. Sinning can be easy; doing the right thing can be hard. But the results are what matters.

Exodus 20:13 "You shall not murder."
Deut. 30:15 "See, I set before you today life and prosperity, death and destruction. 16For I command you today to love the LORD your God, to walk in his ways, and to keep his commands, decrees and laws; then you will live and increase, and the LORD your God will bless you in the land you are entering to possess."

I hope to see you all out on the streets, Tuesday 7 a.m. as we reach out to the lost and needy ... who find themselves where they should not be. We will be there ... until the killing stops.

Six Dead Babies

Tim. 4:13 "Until I come, devote yourself to the public reading of Scripture, to preaching and to teaching."

Twenty-five gentle warriors came out to pray Scripture and take a public stand for precious little ones sentenced to die. For all of you that cannot be here, we thank you so much for your prayers. From what we saw six precious lives were selfishly snuffed out today because of love of money and self. God says the love of money is the root of evil.

"Deceit is in the heart of those who plan evil, but joy belongs to those who advise peace." Proverbs 11:14

Abortion providers kill for money and many moms kill because children are "inconvenient". Babies are sacrificed because parents don't want the discomfort of caring for them. What happened to Moms who would lay their lives down for their children? How selfish we have become. Most won't even carry the baby to term so they can put the baby up for adoption. Three college students came to escort. Three police and an armed guard were there during the course of the morning. The abortionist came (MAB) before 10 a.m. Pastor Miller and Fr. Smith were there to represent the clergy.

2 Tim. 4:5 "But you be sober in all things, endure hardship, do the work of an evangelist, fulfill your ministry."

I hope to see you all on the streets as we reach out to the lost and needy who find themselves where they should not be. We will be there ... until the killing stops.

Confusion in the Enemy's Camp

We were made aware that the mill was open early this morning instead of tomorrow. Twelve prolifers came out on the streets in the rain last minute to rescue their little neighbors from death.

James 1:22-25 "Do not merely listen to the word, and so deceive yourselves. Do what it says. Anyone who listens to the word but does not do what it says is like a man who looks at his face in a mirror and, after looking at himself, goes away and immediately forgets what he looks like. But the man who looks intently into the perfect law that gives freedom, and continues to do this, not forgetting what he has heard, but doing it he will be blessed in what he does." From what we know:

Four moms came to abort.
Two changed their minds!
Two babies were left to die.

Carmen took one of them home and the other one took the bus. We got both of their names and gave them all the resource info. One of them needs help with her 8 month old baby she has now. We are helping her with that thanks to your contributions to this ministry. Thanks Pastor Flashman for the diapers! :-) We cannot do this alone. We are a team. A male client was taken away in a police car while his girlfriend sat in another police car, then she went into the mill. Then a tow truck came and towed what appeared to be their white van with no license plates. The Steri-cycle came to take away "medical waste." The abortionist (MAB) arrived at 9:50 in a silver BMW with his assistant. We are praying for the salvation of all these abortion providers. Pray for Joya, too. Pastor Marshall was trying to talk to her today. All these people are just deceived like we were when we were lost.

2 Timothy 3:16-17 "All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, so that the man of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work."

Our behavior is driven by our beliefs, which is determined by our thoughts. The Bible teaches us that the best and final gift of God is us enjoying Him. Instead many have turned this around into a divine endorsement of our delight. God makes much of us, when we enjoy much of Him! Don't be afraid to be obedient to what you know is right and true. As we read through the Bible we see what Jeremiah felt like when he stood for God and his righteousness. Jeremiah cried out in despair unburdening his heart to God. He faithfully proclaimed God's word and received nothing but persecution and sorrow. When he withheld God's word it became a fire with in that he could not hold back. We feel compelled to share God's living message, regardless of the results.

Jeremiah 20:7 "Oh LORD, you persuaded me, and I was persuaded, you overpowered me and prevailed. I am ridiculed all day long; everyone mocks me. Whenever I speak, I cry out proclaiming violence and destruction. So the word of the LORD has brought me insult and reproach all day long and made me a household joke. But if I say, "I will not mention Him or speak any more in His name," His word is in my heart like a fire, a fire shut up in my bones. I am weary of holding it in; indeed, I cannot. I hear many whispering, "Terror on every side! Report him! Lets report him!" All my friends are waiting for me to slip, saying, "Perhaps he will be deceived; then we will prevail over him and take our revenge on him." But the LORD stands beside me like a mighty warrior; so my persecutors will stumble and not prevail. They will fail and be thoroughly disgraced; their dishonor will never be forgotten. Oh LORD Almighty, you who examine the righteous and probe the heart and mind, let me see Your vengeance upon them, for to You I have committed my cause. Sing to the LORD! Give praise to the LORD! He rescues the life of the needy from the hands of the wicked."

I hope to see you all out on the streets Tuesday. We will be there ... until the killing stops. We reach out to the lost and the needy ... who find themselves where they should not be!

More than 25 prolifers inconvenienced themselves 7 a.m. this chilly morning to stand in the gap for little baby boys and little baby girls sentenced to die an excruciating death. Pastor Randy, Pastor Miller and Fr. Smith were there to represent the leadership in the church. C. H. S. teens cared more about their tiny neighbors than themselves and got up extra early today so that they could come and pray on the streets before school. We thank God for the youth that God is raising up to take the baton of righteousness onto the next generation.

"The reward of humility and the fear of the Lord are riches, honor and life." Proverbs 22:4

There were eight college escorts with orange vests. Two police were present and an armed guard. The abortionist (MAB) arrived in his red sports car at 9:45 a.m. He has been coming in alone lately? I thought he could not practice solo for five years probation for the formal complaints he has for negligence and incompetence.

We left before 10 a.m. From what we saw:

Nine moms came to abort.
One turned away.
Eight babies were left to die.

We had corporate prayer before our Lord as we shared our concerns with Him about the murder of unborn children in our community. We all share the vision that someday soon Bridgeport will be a safe place for tiny children in their mothers' wombs. The future of our nation depends deeply on the response of the Church to this holocaust of 45 million children. Their blood cries from the ground. This voice will not be silenced until we repent and turn back to God.

"Repent therefore and return that your sins may be wiped away, in order that times of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord." Acts 3:19

Judgment starts in the house of God. We set the standard in our nation. The church is always the moral thermometer for every society. We need to repent of our apathy and defend children that cannot defend themselves. The gates of Hell cannot prevail against His Church! When will we get it? We could end abortion quickly if we would just rise up and take a stand. The Church cannot be silent on moral issues. Dr. Bill Bright said in an interview with D.J. Kennedy that ... "if Christians are not salt and light in every facet of society, we will simply abdicate so that the enemies of the Gospel take over -- which is what is happening. We are suffering the invasion of the materialistic world -- the anti-God forces -- because we are strangely silent. I firmly believe that every Christian has an obligation to be involved in voting at every election. They need to be involved in all the various facets of society."

"And they have built high places (summit) ... to kill their sons and their daughters in honor of Molech ... something which I did not command, nor did it come into my mind or heart ." Jeremiah 7:31

"And they built the high places (summit) for worship of Baal ... to cause their sons and daughters to pass through the fire ... to Molech ... which I did not command them, nor did it come into My mind or heart that they should do this abomination, to cause Judah to sin." Jeremiah 32:35

We will expose the graphic truth of abortion with pictures and literature to reveal the horrible heinous sin that abortion is! Murdering our own children never entered God's mind. It should not enter ours. Please join us on the streets Saturday and Tuesday, 7 a.m. sharp ... until the killing stops ... as we reach out to those who find themselves where they should not be.

Eighty-five Come to Pray!

Eighty-five prolifers came out to the streets today to intercede for the little boys and little girls sentenced to die at 3787 Main Street. Thank you for your public witness against child killing in our community. There were six student "deathscorts', including one with purple hair from 7-9 a.m. We told them how much Jesus loves them and that He died on the cross for their sins. If they receive Him they could have eternal life and be saved from eternal death. Please pray for the abortion providers, the clients, passersby and the police. We give out many gospel tracts. We had three police present today and an armed guard. Three clergy were present including Pstr. Ron, Fr. Markey and another priest. Sixty people came to pray the rosary with Fr. Markey after his monthly prolife mass from 9-10 a.m. From what we saw:

Sixteen moms came to abort.
One changed her mind.
Four turned away.
Eleven babies died.

To be effective evangelists we must have the compassion of the Good Samaritan (Luke 10) and the stirred spirits of Paul in Athens (Acts 17). We must be prepared to weep like Jesus did for the lost (John 11:35) and go "into all the world" like the disciples of our Lord (Matt:28:14). When Jesus went to the woman at the well in John 4, it is like us going to the women at the abortion mill. The town where this story occurred, Sychar means "falsehood, deceit, drunkenness", sounds a little like Bridgeport. In John 4:6 Jesus was tired, hungry and alone. Much like some of us are later on in the morning on the streets. Should you go alone out to the streets to witness for Jesus? Preferably not, but sometimes you can't get someone to go with you. Sometimes it is a divine appointment for us to be at the "wrong place" at the "right time". We need to fast and pray each week for the street ministry (fast sundown Sunday to sundown Monday) and pray against Satan with spiritual warfare. When we encounter real dangers Psalm 91 is a real comfort.

"The sun shall not smite thee by day or the moon by night." v. 8

In spite of difficult situations people still need to be reached. In spite of heat, cold, rain, sleet, snow, we need to be as committed to righteousness as some are committed to their sin. If they can be there, so can we. The Church does not realize how spiritually poor it is. We have become like Laodicea in Rev.3:17.

"You say, 'I am rich; I have acquired wealth and do not need a thing.' But you do not realize that you are wretched, pitiful, poor, blind and naked."

To some Christians the only spiritual poverty they know is being born naked, like Jesus. If we lived the true meaning of the manger, our life would be sacrifice, obedience, servanthood, and humility. When Jesus approached the Samaritan woman in John 4 He knew what it was like to be misunderstood by those closest to Him. He broke all the social norms as a Jewish man speaking to a Samaritan woman at the local well. Even the apostles were suspicious and questioned him (John 4:27). This is what happens to us with misunderstandings and false accusations. Many struggling with sin think the Church hates them. But we, like Jesus, offer them the "living water" (John 4:14), pointing them to the love of God. Jesus sees the hurting person. They need to hear there is a way out as they consider the implications of their immorality in their lives and others they are involved with. When you are out on the streets you are prepared for opposition, misunderstanding, prejudice, and hostility, not only from the enemy, but also from supposed "Christians". We are not intimidated as we run to the roar. Satan is like a lion with no teeth. God has called us and we will stay there ... until the killing stops.

NO BABIES KILLED AT 3787 MAIN STREET TODAY

"And if we know He hears us, whatever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we have asked of Him." 1 John 5:15

We give our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ all the glory that no babies were killed at the Bridgeport abortuary today! Thirty prolifers came out to pray, hold signs and pass out literature. Two clergy were there, Fr. Smith and Pastor Miller. Some students were there to pray before school. Seven escorts from Wesleyan University were there, but they had nobody to escort. Police were present. No armed guard or videographer for them. One worker went in at 8:30 a.m. another later on. They are running on a skeleton crew (no pun intended).

"For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms." Ephesians 6:12

No moms came to abort.
No babies died!

"Do not be afraid of people. Whatever is covered up will be uncovered, and every secret will be known. What I am telling you in the dark you must repeat in the daylight; what you have heard in secret you must proclaim from the rooftops." Matt. 10:26-27

Please come out to the streets and reach out to the lost and needy who find themselves where they should not be. We will be there ... until the killing stops!
