Operation Save America -

Gina arrived at around 6:40am to find several women already waiting to enter the abortuary w/friends, husbands or other family. Larry S was already there. Larry is a wonderful older man that has an incredible heart for the Lord, the unborn and the richness of many years of valuable experiences. Larry does not say much, just carries his sign back and forth, prays a novena and sometimes goes across the street to pray w/our powerful prayerful contingent of Catholics.

Jesse, Holly and her husband Paul arrived before the waiting line of patients went inside at 7am. Sadly by the time the doors opened, we already knew it was going to be a very busy day. Women and men just kept on coming and by last count about 30 persons had arrived, so maybe 20 were aborting, or even more. We offered literature, assistance, "hope" for the women/families in crisis to no avail. No one turned away this Saturday, and very few took literature. We did get a lot of verbal abuse from 2 women, one in particular who had THREE car seats in her van and decided she wanted very much to kill her 4th child. Another woman who brought "someone", joined the other woman spewing a barrage of the usual excuses and mockery. The women refused to listen to the voice of reason which the Lord was good enough to send their way via our witness of truth and life. Another woman attached herself to the duo and they all seemed to love hearing themselves talk and persisted in arguing to avoid hearing something that might pierce their souls. Both women used Mark as a "sound" board and the three of them ended up just yelling nonsense and abuse at Mark and around him. William Gurnall wisely remarked:

"It is the image of God reflected in you that so enrages hell; it is this at which the demons hurl their mightiest weapons."

It is obvious. The devil hates the innocent life of God reflected in infants. He puts murder in the hearts of mothers and father. The damned scoundrel also hates the image of God in the face and actions of believing Christians. Christians should always be where Satan gathers people together. An abortion clinic is a perfect place to fish for men!

Jesse had a long and significant conversation with a man named Randall (not there for an abortion appointment) who told Jesse that he used to be a street evangelist. Randall admitted that he was far from the Lord now and knew that he needed to make things right. Paul joined in on the conversation and a lively discussion about religion ensued. Jesse enjoyed his conversation with Randall and is praying that the Lord will use their conversation to continue to draw him to a place of profound repentance and genuine faith and restoration. They plan to keep in touch.

When Christians who care take the time and make the sacrifice to sweat it out on the streets outside an abortion clinic, there is always a profound effect on the entire day. We've heard it said again and again that our holy presence "makes it harder for the women" to go through with the slaughter of their infants. Abortion-bound women are more likely to cry, more likely to "think it over", and even if they do go through with the child sacrifice; they feel the weight of their guilt quicker. It's harder to deny your fault and shame when God was kind enough to send His ambassadors to warn you about the gravity of the sin of abortion. We lift up the standard of the Law of God which commands: "Shed not innocent blood in this place ..." Jeremiah 7:6 The women waiting to have abortions, their lovers, friends and family are confronted with the truth about the murder of the children. And the abortion clinic workers are effected too. We greet them as they drive into work. They know that Christians are out there, standing a gainst the bloodshed, reaching out to the women, speaking out, praying and believing.

"... pray also for us, that God may open to us a door for the Word, to declare the mystery of Christ ... that I (we) may make it clear." Colossians 4:2-4

Consider coming to pray while the sidewalk counselors engage the lost. Your prayerful presence means the world to those of us who labor and to the pregnant women, the infants who are about to perish and the abortion staff.

Please remember I am still in the mountains and the Sanctuary Missionaries need your help to bring light into the darkness of Orlando's most notorious abortuary. If you think that "someone else" will do it, you're wrong. We lose soldiers in this battle every month and there are six abortion killing sessions a week at Orlando Women's Center with NO CHRISTIAN WITNESS WHATSOEVER. Join up, won't you?

For Him,

Sidewalk Missionaries: Allura, Jennifer, Gary, Marlene, Mary Lou, Jesse, Mark, Claire, Matt, Larry

6:30am to Noon

Allura's Report:
Hi Everyone,
This morning we had a new soldier come with us... my friend, Lynnette from Metro Life Church. We drove together, and knowing this was her first time at the abortion clinic, I tried to prepare her for what she would encounter. But I guess nothing can prepare you for the sight of men and women merrily making their way into a building where their little ones are going to be murdered. Lynnette's tender heart was broken and tears streamed down her face as she watched people lining up outside the clinic before 7:00. Also joining us from Metro were Jennifer (Erik's VERY PREGNANT wife:), Gary and Marlene Baer, and Mary Lou Graham and her courageous 11 year old daughter, Rebekah. Jesse showed up after all, THANK GOD! as well as the "old faithfuls" Mark, Claire, and Matt (Happy 21st B'day, Matt!) Larry S. was there, too, so we had quite a gathering.

I should have known God would provide...all my worrying was in vain. The day started off with Ana, a 19 year old Hispanic woman who was sitting in her car crying while her boyfriend sat staring straight ahead. God gave me words of compassion for this young woman, and she even allowed me to pray with her. Her family doesn't know she's 8 weeks pregnant. Her boyfriend kept trying to get her to get out of the car and go in for her "appointment. And after about five minutes of conversation she said, "I need to go in" and started walking toward the clinic. Lynnette and I walked with her, and I continued to encourage her to consider adoption instead of abortion. But as she got closer, she said, "I can't do this" and stopped walking. Right at that moment, 11 year old Rebekah walked up to her and said sweetly, "Look at these pictures of my baby brother", and with tears streaming down her face, "Please don't kill your baby. Please..." I watched as Ana looked from this precious 11 year old girl to the picture of the baby boy. God softened her heart towards her own baby and even though her boyfriend tried for quite a while to persuade her to go into the clinic, she refused; finally they both got in the car and drove away. It was quite a sight: all of us just stood there, rejoicing in the faithfulness and mercy of our God, and praying that Ana's heart remains tender and loving towards the child within her. I gave her my cell phone # and tried to get hers but she wouldn't give it to me. She did promise to call me, but I haven't heard from her yet. WHOA, what a way to start the day!

There was another couple that Mark and I talked to, but it was kind of confusing. The guy told Mark his girlfriend was just there for a pregnancy test, but she told me this was her first abortion, and she seemed pretty upset. They went in but came back to the car after a little while. Mark and I ran over again and she told me, "I'm not going to have an abortion" and they drove away. So we're not sure what happened.

Mark shared with a man who was at the clinic with a friend, Kia, and her boyfriend "Clark". Clark claimed to be a Christian. When Mark showed Clark the "Did You Know?" pamphlet (which show babies after abortion) he almost threw up. Mark prayed with him as he went back inside to try to talk Kia out of having an abortion, but she stayed inside. (Mark was able to minister to Kia later in the morning after she killed her baby.) Mark also ministered to a man named Willie whom he'd met having an abortion with a girlfriend at Orlando Women's Center several months previously. Mark challenged Willie to take responsibility for his actions instead of killing them.

I'm sorry, but I didn't keep track of how many women went inside the clinic, but Lynnette thought it was around 10. We were engaged in conversations with quite a few of them, and passed out lots of literature. Mary Lou's daughter was amazing, full of holy boldness and compassion for the unborn babies who were being killed inside. I was very grateful for Gary and Jesse today, especially when one of the women got very angry at me, yelling over and over again, "Why don't you get a life?"

All in all, it was a good day because at least one precious baby was saved from abortion. We know we serve a GOOD GOD!

God bless you all,
Allura

Late Abortion Day (overnight labor and delivery abortions, 4 - 9 months of pregnancy)
Sidewalk Missionaries: Joel & Shirley Jo Snyder
Prayer Warriors: None
8:30-10:30am

Shirley Jo's Report:
Joel and I witnessed to five women who arrived with companions for late term abortions. Three of them told me it was for health reasons. Nine ministries packets were taken. Joel talked with "George" for half an hour. He was waiting in a car directly in front of the clinic. Joel was able to tell George about the truth of God and how a person can know they are going to heaven, solely on the merits of Jesus. Also, he encouraged him to live a lifestyle that would be a good example as a man before his younger family members. Even though he didn't respond in faith to the gospel message, George heard the truth and seemed to be listening.

My highlight was a young mom, named "Maureen", who had come with her girlfriend, who was there for birth control. Maureen lives in Kissimmee and has two small children. As I talked about the preciousness of human life from conception I noticed she and George's girlfriend, (both were sitting on the porch), were not laughing or ridiculing us like most clinic patrons. At one point, I felt God really wanted me to read Psalms 139:14 - 18 out loud to them, so out of sheer obedience, I did. Within sixty seconds after finishing, Maureen got up from her seat and walked over down to me. Maureen wanted to know: "Will everyone go to heaven?" I replied, "No". Maureen and I talked for twenty minutes or so After going over the plan of salvation with her twice using various scriptures, I felt she needed assurance that God forgives all sin. (in her own words, she had told me "I've done a lot of bad things, including having an abortion.") Maureen told me she had accepted Christ as her Savior at an earlier point in her life. I felt she truly loved Jesus, but had far underestimated the desire of the evil one to destroy her. My encouragement to her was to get back into God's Word daily and find a Christ - honoring church to attend for herself and her precious kids.

Maureen gave me her address and phone number and I gave her mine. With her permission, I came home and called Bible Baptist Church in Kissimmee.

They are planning to visit Maureen soon and consented to let me know when they have done so. Maureen's heart was definitely soft and repentant for the life she had been living. I have sent Maureen a note of encouragement. She indeed, was my blessing from God as we drove home that morning from the clinic.
Shirley Jo Snyder

NOTE from Patte: Later in the day Marilsa from A Chosen Child adoption agency emailed me with some wonderful news. A young lady named "Jessica" had received a ministry packet from Joel and Shirley Jo that morning. Jessica is 5 1/2 months pregnant and had gone to Orlando Women's Center to kill her viable infant. After reading our Sanctuary ministry packet (which is especially designed for women who are having a late abortion and includes wonderful information about adoption) Jessica and her fiancé "Jack" decided to allow their son or daughter (or maybe both if they're carrying twins!) to be adopted into a loving home. They called A Chosen Child and made an appointment to begin the adoption process! Praise the Lord for Joel and Shirley Jo's faithful witness to the FIVE aborting women on Thursday morning. This news means that at least ONE infant did not perish that day due in large part to the fact that two Christians obeyed the call to GO!

The Morning Report, Saturday May 22, 2004

Abortionist: ?
Police Officer: Lally
Pro Abort Protesters: 1 (Dee Katz)
Prayer persons: 7
No counselors were available today. Thank God 7 came to pray.

Note: Officer Richard Pleasant was seen giving a Chinese cooking demonstration at a 99cent store on Military Trail to those that really do not understand English. Not to worry, the officer/cook, did not seem to mind. He did not need to hold a gun to anyone's head to have them taste his cooking either - Customers were lined up. Let us all pray and hope that Officer Pleasant will let his fingers do the walking instead of his badge do the talking - that he gives up the police force for culinary efforts. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Takin' it to the streets & more...

Tampa –

May 18th, 2004 –
Traveled to Tampa to meet with Judy Greer, Sidewalk Counselor, extraordinaire, and bring MERV for repairs. Judy is the woman in proverbs 31. She cares for her family, has an immaculately kept house, can create a meal for an army in minutes, runs 6 miles a day, Sidewalk Counsels, saves lives, counsels moms and abortuary workers, provides a safe haven for pro-lifers and has redecorated the guest apartment every time I come! There is so much more. There is no way possible that I can thank Judy enough for her generosity (I will leave that to Our Lord) She has a heart of gold.

May 19th, 2004 -
We brought MERV in for repairs by 9AM (Judy had already ran 6 miles, prepared breakfast and counseled women at the abortuary by then) She and I then met with a local pro-life activist. There was a lot of good info exchanged. Then Judy and I celebrated another birthday! This is a birthday we will remember! What fun! The following day would lead to another birthday...

May 20th, 2004 –
Judy and I Sidewalk Counseled at a local abortuary and in teaming up we saved a baby. The 18 year old Mom was accompanied by her Mom! Although Judy saves babies on the walk, shockingly she has developed relationships with abortuary workers to the point where they refer indecisive Moms and potentially volatile situations to her!! These workers frequently phone Judy with Mom's and ask her advice regarding situations in their personal lives! Judy walks, without fear of arrest, etc., on the abortuary property in order to save lives. We will attempt some of her techniques here, however, do not hope to meet with Judy's success. By the way, Judy is the one pro-lifer there. It seems 7 or 8 Moms appear nearly simultaneously to abort. More babies would live if more pro-lifers would simply help Judy as she is unable to counsel them all.
Having finished up at the abortuary, we met with an abortion worker. Mary was open to answering any questions and was so very helpful. She also had so many horror stories. These abortionists are brutal. (I realize we know that, however, had you heard....you would believe more so)
We picked up MERV and discovered MERV in good shape and ready to roll...
Judy made, what started out a rather boring MERV repair road trip, an amazing experience; educational, life saving, and a wonderful birthday celebration in more ways than one (And I also learned how to redecorate my house for under $100).

Orlando –

May 21st, 2004 -
While returning from Tampa the day before (May 20th) I received a phone call from Mark Hall and his group. Mark is located in Coco Beach and travels to Orlando also to assist at Patte Smith's (Sidewalk Counselor) abortuary there. It seems their Mobile Unit is in the shop, and needed help as a potential sponsor was on the way. Ok, so MERV and I were on the road again - what a wonderful opportunity to see how others do it! We met late Friday evening and drove to Patte Smith's house for a place to stay over. Patte is in the Carolinas currently - So thank you Patte where ever you are!!! We gave MERV a bath and got to sleep a couple hours before we were to wake up and drive over to the abortuary. I do not know what we would have done without Patte offering her house.

May 22nd, 2004 -
Following drowning ourselves in coffee, we drove on to the abortuary. Mark's group, (Claire, Barbara, Greg, Mark and more) had a portable sonogram we set-up in MERV. It is amazing there - different pro-lifers would come for a time. Approx 3 or more Catholics prayed the Rosary across the street. There was a post abortive nurse there all dressed in uniform ready to help. Later some Protestants came with there prayer service all typed out in binders. I asked for a copy to bring with me as I often times am not exactly sure what to do with Protestants. As a result of their efforts and generosity we are better prepared. Others came and went. We counseled one particular young woman that had 2 children already. We believe her baby will live. A sonogram was performed on another woman that wanted one. We gave a pregnancy test to a young lady that turned out negative. She is engaged and they had consummated their engagement promises with sex. We explained that God gave her a " second chance" to wait for marriage. She seemed to truly believe that. By the way, we asked if her fiancée asked to step up the fall wedding when she became concerned as to the possibility of a pregnancy. She responded, " No, however he did state he would stand by me" (and what did that mean?) Anyway, the question really had her thinking to the point that she curiously repeated it. When brought to her attention, for the first time, she seemed to become concerned that he, in fact, did not ask to step up the wedding. Evidently that made her think. Whatever....
The Orlando experience was a wonderful experience.
A few members of Mark's group will join us, Tuesday June 1st, 2004 at Presidential. I believe they named their group " Missionaries of Hope" .

It was interesting to see that both abortuaries visited (1 in Tampa and 1 in Orlando) had no police, no pro-aborts, no walls, no bushes in direct contrast to West Palm Beach. Actually, in Orlando there was an officer that came and parked in their lot behind the abortuary. However, since they were not paid to arrest anyone (as in West Palm Beach) we did not see them until they exited and they did not blink and eye when they saw us. Interesting....

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Congrats! May 22nd, 2004pm

News

Local
Local pro-lifer, Susan Kruger, is creating fabulous pro-life cards to distribute regarding the coming election.

Out of town
Ocala Sidewalk Counselors bring news that James Pendergraft (kills 38 babies weekly) is looking for extra part time jobs.(Palm Beach County averaged approx 45 aborted babies weekly for 2003) Jimmy is also looking at more prison time soon...hmmm...maybe he will not need to complete any applications after all.

Tampa news and prayer request - Judy is taking to lunch one abortuary worker and one former worker We hope and pray she is enlightened and they see Jesus in her.
I want her over here!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

A Call to Action

Pennysaver May 19, 2004
My laptop is misbehaving so I lost some data. However, there is an ad that I will attempt to relocate for all of us. If you have a Pennysaver dated May 19th, 2004, search for an ad for 14 years and older that are currently using low level birth control. They want to pay them $1200 to participate in a study. Mind you, they are unable to engage in consensual sex at that age. Maybe the study is, " How many local abortion providers profit from these girls forking over abortion $$$'s?" or " How Child Predators can hook-up with young teens on birth control" ) The Pennysaver has allowed it and the research study facility is advertising it as well as exploiting teens. What are they thinking??? Where is the State Attorney? (Having lunch with Mona probably) And the media??? Please come out screaming on this one!

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Needs

We could truly use a functioning fax machine - At the moment we can send out however are unable to receive any faxes

My son donated a second computer for volunteers here at this office however it requires a student size computer desk and chair. If you have one you would like to donate or know of one please contact FACE Life. (561) 868-7002 or 641-0065

Will you house a visiting prolifer(s)?

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
WAZZUP?
(To mention a few things...)

We, Trinie Halfpap (a real saint) and I, (so far) are in the process of developing and printing a Resource Guide for pregnant Moms - Hopefully, we can use it with MERV, local schools, etc. Do you want to help? Furthermore, we hope to have it available on-line. In addition to working to provide this guide, Trinie's rolled over $600 worth of change donated by John Carroll students!
We are working with a Silent No More Rep. to move forward with presentations at local college campuses. Initially, we thought we would wait for Roe v Wade (January) for a local college presentation, however, with help from a SNM Rep., we hope to make presentations sooner. We will also continue with the plan to speak at the University of Florida, Gainesville.
We are networking with out of area pro-life groups, organizations and individuals to make abortion unthinkable right here, where we live by bringing them in and/or exchanging info, resources, etc. We will soon hit the colleges, the beaches, and the abortuaries more and have MERV finally more mobile.

Medical waste or an unborn child? A local abortuary advertises abortions thru 22 weeks; however they perform them thru 24 weeks. To see how an aborted baby appears at 24 weeks or less, visit www.FACELife.org and click on the " FACTS" page. (Have you tissues ready and a strong stomach) These babies deserve better than someone throwing them all into a plastic bag, then a box, and then having them carried off to a Bio Waste Incinerator and burned with other bio waste. Please pray for efforts to redress this horrific action taken by those that have no respect for human beings, at least, not while they can make a buck. What they are doing is evil.

We hope to develop teams - and you? What are you doing??? Shut off that TV, Golf and Health Clubs are too expensive anyway - get your exercise and fresh air ending abortion right here where we live. We have street activism and much more available. (And bring your prayer group with you!) Ok, maybe the street is not for you...can you host pro-lifers? We have anywhere from 1 or more we are bringing in to our area at different times that require housing. Are you able?
There is much more - Things are truly happening here. Please become part of it. Please volunteer. If you are unable to donate your time or talent, please consider supporting our efforts financially

Yea! St Juliana Catholic Church St Juliana's Catholic Church listed our plea for teen volunteers in Sunday's Church Bulletin - Yea, St Juliana!
By the way, there is a Rosary prayed daily at St Juliana following the 8:30am Mass to end abortion, for more priests, for the Pope, etc. There is a priest that prays with us - We invite you to join us. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Prayer Requests

Please pray for a young woman we are counseling online currently to give her baby for adoption. " This baby does not fit into her and her husband's plans."

Please pray for more pro-life volunteers and support

Please pray for tomorrow's preparation and deposition - This deposition is extremely important

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Do you know anyone???

There will be a hearing in June for the Child Custody Protection Act. Do you know of any one that can testify to a case of taking a teen across state lines to get and abortion? Somebody from a clinic or a boyfriend for instance, from a state w/ a parental involvement law to one that doesn't without informing the girl's parents. If you can help with this, please contact Olivia Gans at National Right to Life, her email is Nrlcgirl@aol.com and her phone number is (202) 626-8800 x132. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
You are in our prayers

If you are not part of the solution; you are a huge part of the problem

Sanctuary Update
Saturday, 3 April, 2004
Mission Field: Orlando Women's Center abortion clinic
Sidewalk Counselors: Allura, Patte, Lindsay, Megan, Gary, Marlene, Mark,
Claire, Kerry
Prayer Warriors: 7-8:30am & 9-10:30am: A total of 15 Christians came from
St. Stephen's, St. Joseph's, St. Margaret Mary, the Shrine, St.
Augustine, Sts. Peter & Paul, & Nativity to pray!
(I hope I didn't leave any churches/groups out! Please let me know if I did.) 6:30-12 noon

There were already two couples waiting in the back parking lot when I arrived at 6:30am (15 minutes later than usual) this morning. I called out to them to come and speak with me, but they wouldn't get out of their cars.

*+* Rita & David *+* I approached a handsome Native American couple as they parked in front of the clinic. I introduced myself and Rita took my ministry packet. She looked through the pages while I explained that adoption was worth her consideration. When she realized that I was there to speak to her of hope and life, Rita clammed up. As she opened her car door and stepped onto the sidewalk, I asked: "Do you know that your baby's heart started beating when you were only 3 1/2 weeks pregnant?" Rita tried to ignore me. I went on: "Please let me help you. Abortion will kill your little child." Rita responded with a casual smile: "I guess that's too bad for him, right?" As horrible as it was to hear those cold-hearted words come from her lips, I was heartened that Rita called her baby HIM.

*+* Jorge & Diana *+* I introduced myself to this young Hispanic couple from Osceola as they parked in front of the clinic. "Hello, my name is Patte. I have a wonderful pre-abortion packet for you." Diana looked askance at me and dismissed me with her hand as she made her way inside the killing place. I went around to the driver's side and addressed Jorge. He and Diana had been raised Catholic. At only 21 years old this was Diana's THIRD abortion with Jorge. (Jorge also admitted that "at least two" other girlfriends had killed his babies in the past.) I asked Jorge:

"What is your #1 reason for aborting this child?"

Jorge answered: "We have a little boy already. We know our limitations. I want to be able to give our kids everything they need."
Patte: "Your children need is an honorable man for a father."
Jorge: "We made a mistake."
Patte: "No, Jorge, you made a CHILD."
Jorge: "You know what I mean."
Patte: "Actually, no, I don't. Sexual intercourse is not a 'mistake' or an 'accident'. Sex is a purposeful, willful act. And outside of marriage, it's a sin."
Jorge: "Yeah, well."
Patte: "Jorge, at 21 years old you have already made five children. Four of them are dead because of you. At this rate, you will make another five y the age of thirty."
Jorge: "I suppose you're right."
Patte: "Do you care anything for Diana?"
Jorge: "Yes, I love her."
Patte: "Why don't you do the right thing and make a covenant commitment to this woman? Marry Diana, have this baby. Show your son what kind of man you are by BEING one." I pointed to the six men and women praying across the street.
Patte: "They are praying for YOU, Jorge. They are praying for Diana. They are praying for the child, or children if she is carrying twins, that Diana holds in her womb."
Jorge: "I can see them."
Patte: "There is a saying, Jorge. 'A BOY does what he wants, but a MAN does what he should". Be a man to your lover, to your children. Go inside and bring Diana out."
Jorge: "Nah."

And he drove away.

*+* Miriam, Guadalupe & Xavier *+* 24 year old Miriam left her son and
her family in Guatamala and moved to Orlando 3 months ago. She began to
sleep with a man and discovered that she was pregnant. I was so grateful
to God that Marlene was with us. None of the three could speak any
English. Miriam was quiet and soft. She listened intently to Marlene as
she spoke to her and her friends about life and the possibilities of
pregnancy. Although Marlene was loving and full of compassion, Miriam
remained reserved and wouldn't answer our simple questions.

Eventually we uncovered that Miriam was in the United States illegally. We assured her that we could arrange for good medical care for her without reporting her to INS. Marlene also explained that she & her husband were willing to adopt her baby as they were already on the waiting list at Bethany Christian Services. Sadly, Miriam slowly made her way through the doors of the killing place. It was obvious that Miriam's friends, Guadalupe & Xavier, were very uncomfortable with what Miriam was going to do to her baby. Guadalupe went inside the clinic with the fetal model I gave her and plead with her to reconsider. She also urged her to spend some time with Marlene and her husband, who would make good Christian parents for her baby. She handed Miriam Marlene's home phone number and begged her to leave and call her later. Although our combined efforts lasted for HOURS, I'm afraid that Miriam probably did kill her infant son or daughter this morning.

Abortionist Harvey Roth drove over from Boca Raton. He arrived at 9:15am to kill all 20 innocents who were carried inside by their moms and dads.

Does this sound like we wasted our time? I'll tell you that each one of us who ministered and prayed this morning felt the Lord's pleasure upon us. Marlene had prayed before she came to the clinic this morning: "Lord, give us ONE woman to talk to. Please give us ONE." She rejoiced that God had answered her prayer. Although the ending was NOT what we prayed for, we believe that we saw kingdoms collide on Lucerne Terrace this morning.

As Moses called the children of Israel, so I call you: " ... everyone whose heart was stirred, ... come and do the work." Exodus 31:6, 36:2

I hope that you will read the attached article by Randy Alcorn. (http://www.epm.org/prolife.html )Don't stop there. Pass this e-mail along and come with us into Orlando's field of souls.
