- 3rd Quarter
JERICHO MISSION Reports
Fort Worth, Texas
Saturday, September 13th, 2003
Though our numbers were small, God accomplished a mighty work through the prayers and efforts of the Saints. Our group was Mark, Brookes, Chris, Kelli, Donnie, Dan and Noah and myself.
This was Kelli's first time out. She took over Karma's spot and several cars stopped and took information from her. Our first save was because of her witness to the driver of the car. It is always great to see how God uses a willing heart out here!
Dan and Donnie took turns preaching the Word of God to those who came to the clinic today. A young woman stared at the Malachi and started to cry when she got out of the vehicle. She had to park close to us, so Dan told her about God's love. She hurried into the clinic. She left about 20 minutes later, just sobbing her eyes out. She and her friend sat in the parking lot in their car while Dan took the opportunity to preach to them. After about five minutes, they drove off, with the young women still sobbing.
One car, with two young women inside, obviously looking for the clinic, hesitated at the driveway, and stared at the signs. They drove past and turned around and made several trips attempting to turn in, but kept looking at us and the posters and driving pass, finally they stopped at the gas station where they sat for awhile. They kept looking at the posters then finally left. Once again, the testimony of the murdered children turned a heart away from doing evil. The preaching continued at the back and front.
Richard Rothwell was the abortionist this Saturday. From what we observed, there were a total of 3 turn-aways and 2 saves. Seventeen babies were scheduled to die. We stayed until the procedures were over, gave out some post-abortion information to a couple of the women.
As long as the Christians don't care if children die in their neighborhoods, abortion will never stop. Please come and join Jesus here at the Westside and rescue those being dragged to death.

Let's face it, this Saturday we got nailed. Our group was Dan, Carole, Noah,Chris, Brookes, Mark and his son Jeremy, Ethan, Hannah, Karma and me.
We all took our places, praying for the Spirit's leadership in positioning the signs, where to stand and what to say. And we waited for the cars to start coming. Every time I pray maybe today the mill will be closed. But that was not the case, cars started rolling in. Some were stopping and taking info, but the lot was filling up. We ended up with 15 to 20 customers there to kill.
One of the first cars was an angry mother taking in her teen-age daughter. The teen was very sad, so we prayed that God would work on her heart. Even more. After several minutes of preaching from the front and back and praying all around they came out and left. The teen was in tears and the mother very angry. We all rejoiced that the youngster had stood up for life. Dan gathered us for prayer. We believed she was making a strong stand but we knew there was great pressure from home to change her mind. We prayed that she would not come back.
The two deathscorts were there and there seemed to be a satisfaction in their faces as they scanned the lot filled with cars. These two females communicate their evil with a smugness that can almost be felt.
Then our hearts were broken. The teen and the angry mother were back. I don't want to over-dramatize the moment but it was almost like a black fog rolled in darkening the sun and poisoning our morning. The deathscorts seemed to sense our grief and preyed upon it. The teen wouldn't get out of the car. She wouldn't stop crying. The mother got out and stomped around the car to her daughter's side. One deathscort swooped over to the car acting so professional. She thinly masked her thirst for blood with words of lying compassion. The girl finally got out and the deathscort put her hand on her shoulder whispering in her ear. The other deathscort held the door of the mill open and they went in.
We were frozen with grief. Then Dan bellowed out the most condemning proclamation against that deathscort I have ever heard. His voice filled the parking lot as he said, 'Joanne! You have the blood of that child on your hands!' Her expression seemed to answer, 'Yes I know the blood is on my hands, isn't it lovely.' I almost sensed judgment beginning to fall at that very moment.
I can't speak for the rest of the group but this shook me. We stayed until the teen came out, it was so sad. We spent the rest of the morning praying, singing, and preaching.
After the emotional drop, I felt a stirring that said, 'Do not give up hope, do not give in, God is still on the throne, Jesus is still the conquering King.' With a sober joy I started Victory in Jesus.' Several gathered in.
We ended the morning with me sharing a word from Hebrews concerning the amazing privileges and grave responsibilities the Lord has granted his people in this age. We visited about the many doors of ministry being opened to Don Sr. (my father) as he is ministering in the Philippines. The thought that somewhere on earth hearts are hungry for the gospel cheered us. Dan prayed words of encouragement. And we loaded up the signs.
Donnie
PS- We need faithfilled prayer warriors. My dream is to see the streets around the mill lined with praying saints every day it is open. If your heart is stirred, take that first step. We are at I30 and Las Vegas Trail every Saturday at 6:00am. The most powerful weapon God has given us is a praying presence. Remember the words of Francis Shaefer, 'Every abortion mill in America should have a sign that says, OPEN BY PERMISSION OF THE LOCAL CHURCH.' The Bible doesn't call you to love your dying neighbor, it commands you. (Luke 10:30)
Thursday, September 11
Our group this morning was Bill, Brookes and me. Fourteen customers came while we were there and Dr. Herring was the abortionist on duty. Bill preached, and Brookes manned the street and pleaded for the children at the waiting room doors. We all prayed and sang. Several cars stopped, and took information, but went inside anyway. A couple women came to talk a friend out the scheduled abortion, when we left they were still inside.
A young man whipped his car into the clinic, he was very hostile, yelling at us. His girlfriend appeared to be listening to what was said, but they went into the clinic. She came back over to her car later and I continued to share with her why she should leave, but back into the clinic she went.
We continued to pray, and a few minutes later, out she came with her boyfriend, who's mood was now subdued, although he did not appear to be happy. They got into the car, and he drove off, she nodded and smiled at me on her way out, but didn't stop for any information.
Please pray that she doesn't return to this place. We did give out some post-abortion information. Sometimes, standing out here, I get so focused on seeing the babies saved that I miss the bigger picture. Our mission is not just to rescue these children, but to rescue the souls of the men and women who come to this place. Abortion is horrible, but it is not the unforgivable sin. So we pray that God will grant the gift of repentance to those who came here, and that He will send people into their lives to water the seeds that were planted.
If you would like to be a part of reaching the lost in your city for Christ, come and join us. Call Dan for times and more information at 817-246-8137.

Three saves
One turn away
Twelve left to die
"And David danced before the LORD with all his might;…"2Sam 6:14
Anyone who says they are physically unable to do street ministry should have seen Dan this Saturday. He was acting like a Prolife Christian ought to act. His cup was really overflowing. When a mother chooses life sometimes we just can't contain the joy. Arms up to heaven, shouts of victory, jumps and punching the air; that was our faithful leader the other morning. He has only had four heart attacks why should that stop him. You should have been there, Dan is such an
inspiration.
Our group was Dan, Carole, Noah, Mark, Brookes and his two minister friends Ben and Henry (great preaching guys!), Jeremiah, Ethan, Hannah, Karma and me.
Right away we were amazed at the cars that were stopping for us. This is the Lord's doing and it was a glory to behold. A Hispanic couple stopped, but they could speak almost no English. They wanted to keep the baby but the mother was sick and thought something was wrong with their baby. In their panic they came to West Side Clinic to ask them what to do. Praise the Lord we got to them first.
They were so open and concerned. After seeing the hardness of the typical customer a normal heart is truly a pleasant surprise. Carole led them to the pregnancy center and finally got in touch with a Spanish speaking counselor. They are keeping the baby, just like they wanted to. It is horrible to think how the clinic workers would have taken advantage of this
couple if they would have gone in. If there is anyone who speaks Spanish we could sure use the help, even if
we can have you on call from our cell phone.
A little later a black sister came out and told us her name is Margarita. She said she already had two children and didn't want another. She told us she is Christian and when she heard the preaching she changed her mind and came out of there. Carole offered her financial assistance but she said she was fine. Her face beamed with happiness and courage.
Following that a woman alone in a pickup who stopped to let us know she had changed her mind. Tears were streaming down her face as she drove out of the parking lot. She told Dan all the preaching changed her mind! Three saves, that is amazing!
Sadly, twelve mothers chose to stay. One girl was very young and was escorted by two angry parents. The father came over and chewed us out, especially Carole. He said our signs made his daughter feel even worse. Carole told him that they are the truth and he needed to stop this murder before it happened. The man blurted back, ‘People die every day, what is one more. This is none of your business.' I am leaving out the expletives. He strolled back to the clinic puffing on a big fat cigar. Karma and Carole stayed until they came back out. The girl was limping and weeping, the parents were still angry.
We continued to worship throughout the morning. Prayer, singing, preaching, reading the Word. These are the only things that keep us going. We just have church and rejoice and grieve. It is so challenging to stay tenderhearted while getting rejected. Only the Holy Spirit can keep us going. And He does. Thank you Lord.
Someone stopped and gave Jeremiah a large donation. The day was rich. Later we gathered at Dan and Carole's for prayer, fellowship and lunch. Thanks again Dan and Carole.
Please pray,
Donnie
Thursday, September 4th, We arrived at 5:30, but the clinic didn't open till 6:30. They only had 4 customers while we were there. One girl left and didn't return, and a mother and daughter left and took information from me, they said they changed their minds. Please pray for those who left that the Lord will keep them from comming back.

Two saves and two turnaways.
'Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies:.' Ps 23:5a
Following Jesus is always a mystery to the natural eyes. Only He would spread a banquet table filled delicious food in the middle of a battlefield. As we met at the Westside Clinic this Saturday we ate from His table as we stared into the eyes of God's enemies.
We praise the Lord that Matt brought a fellow student from medical school. Her name is Jennifer. And we are always thankful when the Catholic group arrives. Brookes, Mark, Dan, Carole, Noah, Chris, Ethan, Hannah, Karma and I made up the rest of the group.
I just want to give a couple highlights. The best one was a black man that came to us for counsel. He spoke with Carole and then went to Brookes and talked for a long time. The young man seemed to be riding the fence. The main problem was he didn't think he could ever convince his wife not to abort.
After some time his wife actually came out of the clinic and started to call to him. She wasn't arrogant or demanding like so many that we see here. It looked like she truly had something to tell him.
Dan read the situation, stopped preaching, and walked right over to Brookes and the man. Dan said, 'Son, you better quit talking and get over there, it looks like your wife wants to go home.' The man's eyes perked up and he saw his wife across the lot. Within minutes they were both in their car leaving the clinic. Now that is a save. Thank you Jesus! A white man in a pickup wasn't quite so receptive. I reached to him about God's justice, Christ's forgiveness, and what a sin it is to sit outside while his own child was being murdered. I always try to show both sides of the coin, judgment and mercy. But if they continue to ignore me, or show some act of defiance like turning up their radio, or making an obscene gesture, or laugh then I react directly to their action. For example, 'Sir you won't be laughing when Christ appears.' This man ust ignored me as he walked from his pickup to the clinic and back again.
When I was finished Dan came over and started on him. Finally the man broke and came over to Dan. He was very angry at Dan and said he had no right to judge what he was doing. Dan assured him that when a man murders his own child and leaves the mother alone in the clinic he deserves to hear the truth. The man didn't want the truth and we stayed until the mother came out holding her stomach and limping to the pickup. That is the worst sight on the face of the earth. That is, except for the violence just inside the nice brick walls of the professional looking killing center.
Many more things happened but I will close for now. I can't communicate what God does for us anyway. These are personal things that can only be tasted on the battlefield. The sorrow we feel is ours and the joy we feel is ours. It is like the manna that fell in the wilderness, it is so sweet at the moment but impossible to give to someone else on the morrow. If any of these words touch your heart please join us. As we stand at the corner of I30 and Las Vegas Trail and look at the church steeples that surround us we wonder where are the Christians? It is appropriate to feel pain and the joy is like nothing I have ever tasted anywhere else. It is the table in the presence of our enemies.
******We are the most blessed ministry, this morning while we were setting up, the phone rang. On the other line were Don and Barbara, missionaries in the Philippines, to let us know that they were in prayer for us! Then, later in the morning we heard from Casey who was praying from Nebraska for the work at the clinic. We were bathed in prayer as we entered the battle.*****

“Standing on the Promises of Christ the King”
Early this morning, the Lord sent three of His people to the Westside Clinic to offer a “hope and a future” to those who find themselves at this place. Brookes and I were greatly encouraged and blessed by Jason, a Ft. Worth seminary student who came to be a voice for the voiceless. One of my prayer requests has been that God would supply a man to preach on Thursdays. Today, God answered that prayer and supplied Jason!
Jason preached the Word of God to the clinic customers, it was such a blessing to listen to this young man as he plead and begged for the lives of these children, and shared the Gospel with the clients.
When the Word of God is preached at the abortion clinics, amazing things happen! As Jason preached, a young man who was driving home from work saw us, God convicted his heart and Gary parked and came and joined us for the morning. He prayed and stayed until he had to leave, promising that he would come back Saturday.
A man, getting gas next door at the station, listen to Jason and just had to come over and pray with us. He kept shaking Jason's hand and thanking him over and over for sharing the gospel. A young lady, obviously uncertain of what her decision was going to be, would listen to Jason, then go back inside, then come out and listen some more. Finally, she left the clinic without having had the abortion. Please pray that this turn-away is a stay-away! When 8:00 am rolled around, we had to leave for work and Jason for class! So the totals for today were nine customers, and one turn-away.
To God be the Glory!
Carole
Update: Saturday 16 2003 15 customers, 2 saves 3 turnaways.
I am reminded of the old hymn that says, 'Bliss comes through sore temptation and conflict by the way. Remember blessed Jesus and don't forget to pray.' We haven't had a Saturday like this in a long time. Right away we sensed the hearts of the mothers and fathers were especially hard. It forced me to dig deep into my heart and beg the Lord to give me the boldness and compassion I needed for this challenge. As I prayed I saw that same hardness in my own heart. How could I preach to them when I was defiantly harboring sin in my own heart. At last by faith I turned to Jesus and begged for his forgiveness. And then the unspeakable joy of that cleansing lifted me up and prepared me for battle.
Karma, Ethan Hannah and I arrived just after six. It was a delight to see that Mark brought his son Jeremy. Dan, Matt, and Carole were at the front, Brookes and Bill at the side, Chris interceded from behind. There is amazing peace when each soldier begins to beg our Saviour to show himself. And show himself he did. A car stopped for Karma and the mother was 12 weeks pregnant. Soon another car stopped and Karma began ministering to a very young mother named Jackie. As always when a car stops we all beg the Lord to send the Spirit and touch the heart. Just as Karma began to seriously talk with the young lady we were all distracted by a blonde woman at the rear who was cursing and tearing down our signs. Each sign costs about 180 dollars so this was no small matter. Brookes placed himself between the woman and our signs and firmly told her she was breaking the law. The woman rushed him and ran into him with her body. Dan left his preaching post at the front and I took his place.
The commotion caused Kama's conversation to break and sadly the car drove on into the parking lot. I truly believe the enemy caused this distraction. As always Dan stepped in and brought as much peace as possible to the situation. After this woman attempted to destroy our property, assaulted one of us she then decided to call the police on us. She was truly out of control. Dan told her she was getting herself in trouble and she quickly found that out. Four squad cars soon arrived. Brookes graciously decided not to press charges, Dan explained the event to the officers and the blonde woman received a lesson on the 1st amendment from the White Settlement Police officers.
She still found it hard to understand that free speech doesn't include the right to destruction of property and assault. The police urged her to leave and thankfully she did. We appreciated the Police complimenting Jericho Mission for being peaceful. One of the older officers explained to a new one that whenever they get a call that we are doing something wrong time after time it turns out to be the caller that is out of line and not Jericho Mission. We praise God for the good relationship we have with the White Settlement Police Department.
Seeking to regain lost ground I began to preach. I was encouraged to see the two mothers that Karma had talked with were still in the parking lot. I tried to show them that according to God's Word they would find destruction in disobedience but great joy in repentance. Dan took over and preached his heart out to the ladies. A couple of us went to the back and sang, prayed and preached to the waiting room windows. Then a man in a four wheel drive blazer began circling the block condemning us. His truck had a PA system and the loudspeaker let the whole neighborhood know he thought a woman ought to have the right to kill her child and that we were a bunch of idiots. I really wouldn't mind this kind of stuff if it were just to me. But we are clearly a Christian ministry and this man is not mocking us but Jesus Christ himself. That never ceases to grieve my heart.
Carole continued to call words of compassion to the two ladies. It was so strange, the ladies wouldn't go into the mill but they wouldn't come over to us. They just sat and listened. Carole was truly blessed with the Holy Spirit. She wouldn't stop. Over and over and over she pleaded with the ladies. Her words seemed to drip with love and empathy. I don't know how long she ministered to them but, Matt and I just sat back in amazement and marveled at how the Lord was lifting her higher and higher. Finally, Rothwell the abortionist showed up. He yawned and stretched in casual defiance and stolled in. He was wearing the same old cowboy boots, faded blue jeans, and T-shirt that he always wears.
We had three turn aways so far and we were thankful for them. We prayed that they would be 'stay aways.' Everyone started taking down the big graphic signs and setting up for post abortion counseling. Matt always stays for that. He is so blessed and burdened for this phase of the ministry. Everyone knows, more cars stop for Matt. But, today, just one car stopped for him. Still the two ladies in the lot did not go in. I had given up long before but Carole wouldn't. On and on she called to them, and they still refused to even acknowledge her. Finally two cars pulled back into the lot. The woman 12 weeks pregnant got in and they drove away. We could see through the glass that she had changed her mind, praise the Lord!
Then little Jackie got in the other car. They pulled up to Carole and Jackie was smiling. She gave a 'thumbs up' and let us know she is saving her baby. O Victory in Jesus!! We'll all erupted in clapping and cheering (led by Karma of course.) The two mothers were listening all along, we couldn't believe it. Dan gathered us in praise and prayer. We were all tasting the love of Christ that passeth knowledge. Matt whispered in my ear, 'You know those were the first saves I have ever seen.' Joy, and victory, joy and victory, joy and victory! We thought the day was over, and as always we grieve for those that died. But we thrilled knowing that lives were saved.
Just then a 61 year old woman marched over to the group to tell us what a bunch of sanctimonious Christian bigots we were. The enemy was not satisfied to leave us alone in our happiness. Startled, we engaged in a debate over the old details of the 'issue of abortion.' Things got a little heated but not bad, she turned and marched back to her car.
Then Dan turned to us and said folks forgive me for my sin. I didn't understand what he meant. What sin? Dan said he knew in his heart he had responded in anger and he wanted to pray for forgiveness. I hadn't noticed any real anger, but as he repented before us I felt the same condemnation in my heart. So several of us prayed for forgiveness and Jesus was there to comfort us. I appreciate Dan's transparent style of leadership. How does a pastor get his flock to repent? The pastor must weep in front of them and expose his own sins. That is the essence of true pastoral leadership. Thank you Dan.. Dan and Carole invited us over for dinner and fellowship. So we gladly retreated, laid down our swords and trowels and picked up our forks. We all savored the twists and turns of the morning's battle. And then laid plans for our outreach to Mongomery Alabama. So, one more time, Thank you Jesus! There is absolutely nothing like laboring in Your Kingdom. Donnie Halbgewachs
ps. We beseech you in love to search your hearts, read God's Holy command to deliver those drawn unto death, and join us each Saturday morning at 6:00am just north of I30 on Las Vegas Trial, in White Settlement Texas.
Thursday August 21, 2003
Sing to the Lord! Give Praise to the Lord. He rescues the life of the needy from the hands of the wicked. Jeremiah 20:13 The Lord raised up three Christians who came to love their neighbor as themselves this early Thursday morning. We arrived at 5:15. Dr. Herring arrived at 6:00am. From what we saw, there were 14 appointments, 1 save and no turnaways.
There were a lot of hard hearts and hostile clients. Several mothers brought in their daughters, a sight which always breaks our hearts. We prayed and worshiped the Lord in the sight of his enemies. To our eyes, nothing seemed to be happening. Still, we waited on the Lord. The parking lot was full of expensive cars and well dressed people. Except for one car. An old beat up car that was making funny sounds as it pulled in. The driver dropped off her passenger and stopped on the way out. She said she was a Christian, took the information, but left her friend alone there.
The earlier appointments were leaving, now childless, one teenager in particular touched our hearts, she was laying in the car, crying, while her grim faced mother took her home. We called on the Lord and asked Him to rescue these children scheduled to die, when what did we see, but that old car, chugging into the clinic, She changed her mind, the friend told us. Aren’t those some of the best words you can hear! Only God can save any of these people. It isn’t anything we say or do, just the mercy and compassion of the Lord for those that He created. I feel so lucky to have the honor of standing with Him at this sad place.
We left for work at 8am. There was nobody to stay and offer help to those coming out. If you would be interested, call Dan at 817-360-1945 to find out the dates and times.
For Him,
Carole
Saturday, August 9, 2003
The Lord had ten of His people respond to the call to rescue those being dragged to death. We arrived at the clinic at 5:45am to set up before the first clients arrived. The first vehicle was a young woman who stopped to take information. She listened then impatiently said that “you just don’t understand the problems I have” but she said she would look at the information and pulled into the parking lot. While she sat in the parking lot with her window down, we had a chance to continue to share the truth, and the good news that God is BIGGER then any problem she can possibly have. She eventually went inside. The parking lot filled up quickly, as it does on Saturdays.
Donnie preached the Word of God at the front parking lot, while Brookes and Mark ministered at the back door. Larry and his wife and children stood on the street holding the signs and praying, while Chris prayed up front in the parking lot. We begged God to have mercy on these people and to send His Holy Spirit into the building and convict their hearts. The young lady with all the problems came out, got back in her car and sat for awhile again. Donnie continued to preach, and she started up her car and left. On her way out she smiled and motioned that she was leaving to the sidewalk counselor. She looked relieved. She never returned to kill her baby. Please keep this one in your prayers, that she will not come back. One other woman left before the abortionist arrived, but she didn’t speak to us or take any information. A young man, who was getting coffee at McDonalds, heard Donnie preaching and sat at the curb, listening. He came and spoke with the sidewalk counselor. Rico can speak Spanish (which was our prayer request from last Thursday) and said that God touched his heart listening to Donnie and he will try and come out this next Saturday. Isn’t God marvelous!
Dr. Kraus was reminded again that He can repent and Jesus will forgive him. Another couple left right after Kraus got there. They had been in and out of the parking lot all morning and had heard the preaching, but didn’t take any information. The clinic escorts showed up at 8:30, after all the clients had gone in and had nothing to do, so they left after 15 minutes.
As always, it is nothing we do or say, but the power of God that rescues those who find themselves here. It is our awesome privilege to stand for our Savior,and reach out to those who are lost in sin and darkness and point to Jesus. Two of us stayed for the post-abortion outreach.
Thursday August 14, 2003
We arrived at 5:30 am, Two of us came to stand for Jesus and to love our neighbor as ourselves. A Muslin man stopped for the counselor in the driveway, he took the information and drove into the parking lot. The 3 veiled women went in to have a child killed. Pray that they will look at the information and read the salvation tract. One very hostile man brought a young women and her friend in to have their child killed. He was full of rage and anger that he was misdirecting toward us. Several other clients pulled into the parking lot. Dr. Herring was told that he could repent and be forgiven of his sin, if he trusted in Jesus. He chose to not respond to the offer of salvation.
The gospel was preached, and the plan of salvation was presented to the hostile man in the car. From what we saw, there were 8 babies left to die. At least at this clinic, the truth was shown. Pray for all those women who went to a killing center where nobody cared enough to come offer them a way out. Where were all the Christians?

Thursday, August 7th, - Late term procedure day.
The Saints arrived at 5:30 a.m. It is pitch black when we get there on Thursdays, so it is hard to see the faces of the people as they pull into the parking lot, but since it was already hot, they were in their cars with the windows rolled down, so we were able to talk at them for quite awhile before the other staff member showed up. From what we saw there were 12 kills. Abortionist Herring was on duty.
I talked to a young man and lady for awhile. They claimed to be Christians, and stayed in their truck for quite awhile, looking at the material and talking. However, after about 15 minutes passed, she went inside and never came back out.
On the street, a young man, cursing, swearing and yelling, went up to Brookes and asked him about God. He had brought his girlfriend to the clinic a few months ago for an abortion and was busy defending his actions and questioning if God was real. Brookes had about 5 minutes to share the gospel with him, when his girlfriend pulled up, begging him to get in the truck and go to work. Brookes was able to give her the handout, which include the post-abortion information and numbers, as well as a salvation tract and told her that God loves her still. Michael stormed off, still upset and angry, please pray for Michael. It was obvious to us that the Holy Spirit is working, convicting him of his sin and the only peace he will find is at the Cross.
We also had a young women stop, however, she only spoke Spanish. She seemed willing to listen so we called Jim in Austin, who talked to her for about 5 minutes. He seemed to reach her, she started to cry & took a long time looking at the material before going into the clinic. But then she hardened her heart and went inside. It is to the shame of the church in Ft. Worth that to be able to reach someone who can speak Spanish, we have to call Austin! If any of you can speak Spanish, or know somebody who would be willing to talk to these women in such desperate need, please call me or Dan at 817-246-8137. It is such a small thing to do, and it may save a life. It would be even more effective if a Spanish speaker could come to the mill with us.
No babies were saved today, but the truth was spoken and a chance was offered to all who entered. We had to leave at 7:30, so there was still hope that some of the clients would still leave and choose life. If you have some time before work, please join us – call Dan at 817-246-8137 to get the time and days during the week that we are present.

My dear
Saints,
Here are the numbers for July: Days present-nine
Saves -three, Turn aways -four, Murdered -one hundred and thirty eight
Totals
for the year are: Days present- forty-three
Saves -thirty -five
Turn aways -forty-two
Murdered -five hundred and eleven
Our present abortionist is still Richard Rothwell. I have not received any word on his hearing before his hospital committee on continuing his admittance rights. I hope to know something by the end of next week. Our other abortionist is still Herring. He kills on Thursdays only. Thank God! We are presently gathering at the mill on Tuesdays,Thursdays and Saturdays. If you wish to join us call me at 817-245-8137 or 817-360-1945 and I will let you know the times.
Please continue with your prayers for Rothwells removal and salvation. Also include Herring along with him. I have learned that another worker has quit while I was in Charlotte, North Carolina for the O. S. A National Event. How wonderful it is when our Lord forces these people out. We pray that the Word of Life brought truth to her and it was by His Power alone that she quit. This is why it is so important to preach the Word at these Temples of Death.
You never now when a fallen Christian is there and needs to hear His Holy Word or when He decides to act on an unbeliever and give her the gift of Faith. Many times I have witnessed mothers just up and start their cars and leave after hearing the Words of Life. That is where our Power comes from and it is a sin that so many Temples go on killing without a Man of God there to preach that Word and when there is not one prayer warrior their to intercede on the babies behalf. Prayer is more powerful when you bring it directly in the face of the enemy.
The police are still at peace with us and our Lord for now, but as many of you know this could change in an heart beat. Our Faith rest with Jesus and our Hopes rest on Him also. I believe that something great is going to happen here and it will not be anything I do. No, it will definitely be an act of our Lord and He alone will receive credit and Glory.
Pray for all of those lost and needy who find themselves where they should not be. They need Jesus so desperately. The abortionist and the staff need Him also. Pray for His Mercy for them and us too. We are planning a Truth Tour in West Texas this October. We need your prayers for this also.
To God
be all the Glory,
