1pm abortion time
Missionaries: Allura, Nancy, SJ, Sarah, Naomi, Eric, Garrett, Taylor, Alex


Rescue those who are being led away to death! Indeed, hold back those who are staggering to the slaughter!
Prov. 24:11

Alluring reporting:

Dear Friends,
We had a crew of young people ministering at OWC today! SJ, Sarah Morgan, Naomi, & I were blessed with the presence of 3 young men: Eric Garrett, Taylor Chew, and Alex Corbett! Several of us met at Einsteins at 11 to pray and seek God, and then headed to owc at 12. Nancy, our sweet Catholic friend, joined us too! Officer Wilson was the off-duty policeman, but he didn’t bother us at all! Praise the Lord!

There were quite a few women coming to kill their unborn babies, but one couple stands out in particular. Dimitri, (18) arrived with his pretty girlfriend, “Allie”, the mother of his 3 mth old daughter, Desireah. Before becoming pregnant with Desireah, Allie had aborted another baby at 5 months, and now she was pregnant again. (3 pregnancies & only 17 yrs old!) This sweet young couple listened politely as Eric and I pleaded with them to save the life of this baby. We discussed adoption but they weren’t interested. While Eric spoke to Dimitri, Allie kept shivering in the cold, and God directed me to get a jacket out of the car and wrap it around her shoulders. She seemed not to care, but I could tell she was grateful, and it allowed her to listen more intently as Eric graciously and lovingly took them both through the Law. At one point when he said that our sins must be punished by a holy God, Dimitri nodded, “The wages of sin is death…yep, I know that.” Allie quietly shared that Dimitri’s dad is a preacher. (We meet so many PKs at the abortion mill) I told Allie that this child (like the one she’d already killed, and her beautiful little Desireah) is a gift from God…just like she was a gift to her parents. But she shook her head sadly; it was obvious that this lost little girl doesn’t feel like a “gift” to anyone.

Dimitri listened as Eric read from Hebrews 3, “Take care, brothers, lest there be in any of you an evil, unbelieving heart, leading you to fall away from the living God”…and “Today, if you hear His voice, do not harden your hearts as in the rebellion”. Eric and I thought their hearts were softening, but then Allie turned away from us, took the jacket off and handed it to me, without looking back, and putting her arm through her boyfriend’s, said, “Come on; let’s go in”…but not before Eric and I saw the tears start streaming down her cheeks. We asked if we could pray for them, but she said no, and they walked into the killing place…to kill yet another child.

SJ and Sarah M. walked way down the street to talk to a woman who at first said she had 2 children at home and couldn’t raise another one…then later said she had 4 children at home and couldn’t raise another one. When I tried to talk to her, she wouldn’t say a word. Taylor, Alex, and Naomi all reached out to several people, but no one seemed to listen.

Please pray tomorrow (Wed) morning between 8:00 – 9:30 when Rusty Hein, Spring Mingey, and I plan to minister to late term and 1st trimester aborting women. If you’re able to join us, we could certainly use the help! I plan to be at owc this Saturday morning from 8:00 – 9:30, as well, if you are able to join us. This Easter weekend, may each of us be freshly aware of our Savior’s great sacrifice on the Cross, and may it fill us with great gratitude that the sinless One became sin so that we might enjoy Him forever. Christ is Risen! He is Risen Indeed! Hallelujah!

Just another pilgrim, A

Why we don't say "God loves you!" to mothers who are murdering their babies

Why we don't say "God loves you!" to mothers who are murdering their babies


"The cliché, God hates the sin but love the sinner, is false on the face of it and should be abandoned.
Fourteen times in the first fifty Psalms alone, we are told that God hates the sinner, His wrath is on the liar, and so forth.
In the Bible, the wrath of God rests both on the sin (Romans 1:18ff) and on the sinner (John 3:36)."
-D.A. Carson
The Difficult Doctrine of the Love of God, Crossway


For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men,
who hold (or suppress) the truth in unrighteousness;
Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God has showed it to them.
For the invisible things of Him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made,
even His eternal power and Godhead;
so that they are without excuse ...
Romans 1:18, 19

Is revealed. Not only by the declarations of the Holy Scriptures, and his judgments, but by nature's teachings, and by the human conscience.

There is a measure of truth revealed to every man. See Ro 1:19. Many refuse to profit by the light they have, and love the darkness rather than the light.
All who do not live up to the knowledge they possess, who do worse than they know, hold the truth in unrighteousness.
They obstruct the truth, rather than let it have free scope.
People's New Testment

The wrath of God is revealed - Not only by frequent and signal interpositions of divine providence, but likewise in the sacred oracles,
and by us, His messengers.
~ Wesley

For the wrath of God - His holy displeasure and righteous vengeance against sin.
is revealed from heaven - in the consciences of men, and attested by innumerable outward evidences of a moral government...
Ro 1:18-32. This Wrath of God, Revealed against All Iniquity, Overhangs the Whole Heathen World...
....their stifling the light which still remained to them. As darkness overspreads the mind, so impotence takes possession of the heart, when the "still small voice" of conscience is first disregarded, next thwarted, and then systematically deadened. Thus "the truth" which God left with and in men, instead of having free scope and developing itself, as it otherwise would, was obstructed (compare Mt 6:22, 23; Eph 4:17, 18).
Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Bible Commentary

...no man can plead that he has fulfilled all his obligations to God and to his neighbour; nor can any=2 0truly say that he has fully acted up to the light afforded him. The sinfulness of man is described as ungodliness against the laws of the first table [1st five commandments], and unrighteousness against those of the second [last five]. The cause of that sinfulness is holding the truth in unrighteousness. All, more or less, do what they know to be wrong, and omit what they know to be right, so that the plea of ignorance cannot be allowed from any. Our Creator's invisible power and Godhead are so clearly shown in the works He has made, that even idolaters ... are left without excuse. They foolishly followed idolatry; and rational creatures changed the worship of the glorious Creator, for that of brutes ....[mostly idolizing self] They wandered from God ...had not the revelation of the gospel prevented it. For whatever may be pretended, as to the sufficiency of man's reason to discover Divine truth and moral obligation, or to govern the practice aright, facts cannot be denied. And these plainly show that men have dishonoured God by the most absurd idolatries and superstitions;and have degraded themselves by the vilest affections and most abominable deeds.
~ Matthew Henry

And yet, there is hope in Christ through His gospel!
...remember that at that time you were separate from Christ, excluded=2 0from citizenship in Israel and foreigners to the covenants of the promise,
without hope and without God in the world. But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far away have been brought near through the blood of Christ.
Ephesians 2:12, 13
For those of us who have been saved by the grace of God & born again,
DO now have glorious hope that rests not on ourselves,
but in Christ, our Rock & our Salvation!
No one whose hope is in you will ever be put to shame, but they will be put to shame who are treacherous without excuse.
Psalm 25:3
But woe unto those who turn not from sin, who trust not on Christ & who continue to be treacherous without excuse. These store up wrath against themselves for the Day of wrath.
But because of your stubbornness and your unrepentant heart, you are storing up wrath against yourself for the day of God's wrath,
when His righteous judgment will be revealed.
Romans 2:5

As we go out to the abortion mills may we remember that it is our solemn duty to warn the aborting mothers and fathers and their companions, who are under the just wrath of God for their evil scheme to murder the babies (as well as all of the other ways they have sinned against the Lord). We must speak to the clinic workers as well, not by assuring them that God loves them, but ...
by using the law of God lawfully.
But we know that the Law is good, if one uses it lawfully, realizing the fact that law is not made for a righteous person, but for those who are lawless and rebellious, for the ungodly and sinners, for the unholy and profane, for those who kill ... according to the glorious gospel of the blessed God, with which I have been entrusted.
I Timothy 1:9 &11

Beloved, it is as much the business of God’s minister to preach man’s duty, as it is to preach Christ’s atonement; and unless he doth preach man’s duty, he will never be blessed of God to bring man into the proper state to see the beauty of the atonement. Unless he sometimes thunders out the law, and claims for his Master the right of obedience to it, he will never be very likely to produce conviction—certainly, not that conviction which afterwards leads to conversion. This rough world sometimes needs to be rebuked, and if we can get at the ears of the people, it is our business to reprove them; and I think if ever there was a time when this text need to be enlarged upon, it is just now. It is so often forgotten, so seldom remembered,
“Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.”
... Whom am I to love? My neighbour. What am I to do? I am to love him. How am I to do it? I am to love him as myself.
~ Charles Spurgeon

Let us now go and show our love and concern for our neighbors, both mother and child, and speak to them not flattery, but the truth as it is in Jesus.

Christianity teaches men to be joyful under troubles: such exercises are sent from God's love;
and trials in the way of duty will brighten our graces now, and our crown at last ...
We should not pray so much for the removal of affliction, as for wisdom to make a right use of it.
~ Matthew Henry

Know therefore that the LORD thy God, He is God, the faithful God,
which keepeth covenant and mercy with them that love Him and keep His commandments
to a thousand generations ...
Deuteronomy 7:9

Allura reporting:

Go to: http://bound4life.com/blog/2009/02/06/y-o-p-p to see the speech Lia gave to her 7th grade class. What an incredible young lady! Talk about doing hard things! I want to be like HER when I grow up!

Last Tuesday was very challenging as one of our missionaries saw a 'friend' walk into the abortion clinic. After praying and asking God for wisdom, the sidewalk counselor chose to WALK INTO THE CLINIC to try to get his friend out. The rest of us instinctively dropped to our knees, praying that God would have mercy and give us protection in this situation. Thankfully, this was handled quietly ... and the man we'll call 'Larry' came out to share why he was in there with his girlfriend. Although Larry was given several opportunities to turn away from this evil deed, he chose to allow his girlfriend to kill their baby. Those of who were there were grieved by this abortion, because it touches the lives of some of our closest friends and family. (Several of us were acquaintances of Larry.) I’ve been going to Orlando Women's Center for many years, and I knew that one day I’d probably be personally affected by this crime against the unborn. But this was hard. One thing that amazes us all, though, is that God, in His kindness and unbelievable mercy, allowed Larry to come on the exact day, and the exact time, that his missionary 'friend' was there…so he was confronted with the truth, and given a chance to repent. Larry will have to live with that for the rest of his life. May God have mercy on Larry's soul. Please pray for my precious friends, who are deeply impacted by the killing of this little one. They are desperate for God to help them.

Friends of Sanctuary Ministries,
It is always a personal challenge to face our fears and allow Christ to swallow them up in His grace and give us the faith and the courage to go to the abortion clinic to witness. We ask our Savior to fill us with His own compassion and wisdom and discernment as we introduce ourselves to strangers and offer our help through their pregnancy. I know that you might be able to imagine how difficult and uncomfortable it would be if someone you knew was walking into a killing place as you reached out to engage the lost with the gospel of life and eternity. This has happened several times over the years and it is always especially painful for those of us who know and love the woman or man who are purposed in their hearts to shed innocent blood. What a blessing that we do not have to depend upon our own strength, but on the provision of God through prayerful dependence. "If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that gives to all men liberally, and upbraides not; and it shall be given him. But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavers is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed." James 1:5 & 6 Truly these are times that try men's souls, but we are not as those without comfort. We have the Holy Spirit, the Spirit of Truth, to lead and guide us on our way. We believe the scriptures, that the trials of our faith work for our sanctification. So, we labor to "let patience have her perfect work."

I would like to ask you for prayer for our dear Allura, who leads the team on Tuesdays & often ministers at the killing place three times a week. It appears that the enemy of life has specifically targeted her & he is using a police officer's threats to do it. Lift up our precious sister as she seeks to remain humble and respond in meekness when this particular cop harasses her. Ask the Master to give us all discernment as we deal with the actions of this policeman, whom we have reported to internal affairs at OPD for past discrimation. We are considering requesting a meeting with OPD regarding the unfair treatment of Allura & others on our missionary team. Our goal is to protect and preserve our rights to free speech and freedom of religious expression as we continue to fulfill the Great Commission of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ and practice pure religion by visiting the imperiled orphans in their affliction.

We would like to leave you with the following excerpt of commentary from Matthew Henry on James 1:1-11:

Christianity teaches men to be joyful under troubles: such exercises are sent from God's love; and trials in the way of duty will brighten our graces now, and our crown at last. Let us take care, in times of trial, that patience, and not passion, is set to work in us: whatever is said or done, let patience have the saying and doing of it. When the work of patience is complete, it will furnish all that is necessary for our Christian race and warfare. We should not pray so much for the removal of affliction, as for wisdom to make a right use of it. ..
A mind that has single and prevailing regard to its spiritual and eternal interest, and that keeps steady in its purposes for God, will grow wise by afflictions, will continue fervent in devotion, and rise above trials and oppositions...

Baby's feet at 10 weeks gestation


Ursula was by herself, but not alone, for Jesus was with her. She arrived at the abortuary at 8:15am & approached each of the cars as they arrived to have abortions. With so many to offer ministry packets to, Ursula missed one of the cars that drove down the driveway into the back parking lot. Ursula explained:
"When the couple got out of their vehicle I called out them, saying, "My name is Ursula. Come over so I can give you something." Ursula was so happy when the couple responded by stopping for a moment to give her their full attention, and remarked, "I always think is a miracle when they look at you." Knowing that Ursula was there to help prevent them from hurting their baby, the man protested. "What if you can't financially afford another child?" Ursula answered; "We are all naked before God. We cannot take our money with us. When we stand before the Lord it is only us and our conscience." The man agreed. Ursula showed them the photo of a little baby's hand. She explained that their baby's heart began to beat at only 3 1/2 weeks gestation and said; "Abortion is killing. God says 'You shall not murder'. I can take you to JMJ for a free ultrasound. They may do an ultrasound inside the clinic, but they will turn the screen away so that you will not see your baby. They know that if the mothers were to see their children on the sonogram and hear their little hearts beating that many would leave without killing their children." The couple told Ursula their names were Sonia and Warren. By this time Theresa arrived and was praying as Ursula spoke with Sonia & Warren. As Ursula took out our tract 'Killing a Baby by Abortion is a Serious Sin', the couple remained in rapt attention, hanging on her every word. Ursula was rejoicing in her soul. "The miracle was that they were so open!" The couple looked at each other and excused themselves from Ursula and walked back towards their car. As they stood in the parking lot talking Theresa came to Ursula and said; "Let's pray!" They prayed hard. Soon Warren & Sonia were embracing. Sonia was sobbing. After a few minutes they both got into their car and began to drove out of the parking lot. Theresa said: "Let's go and speak to them!" and she & Ursula rushed over to reach them before they pulled into the street. Warren stopped the car and Sonia got out of the passenger side and came over to Ursula & Theresa to speak with them. Red-eyed, crying, Sonia was full of emotion. Ursula explained; "Theresa spoke to Sonia saying; 'You are Jesus' lamb because you listen to His voice'. She was wonderful with Sonia. So sweet and gentle." They all exchanged telephone numbers. Since the couple lives in Palm Bay, Ursula contacted another Christian friend named Mark to do follow-up. Ursula spoke with Sonia by phone today and made arrangements to send a blessing package with pre-natal vitamins, a pregnancy book, a Bible and a few other gifts, including some clothes for her two other children. Sonia was very happy to hear from Ursula and thanked her for being there to stop her from hurting her baby. "Warren is very glad too. We are both so thankful that you were there yesterday."

Precious Sanctuary missionaries were there to engage the aborting moms today. Lord willing, we will be returning to rescue the perishing in the morning. Although it is Valentine's Day, the abortuary is scheduled to murder babies as usual. We hope that you will remember our labors as you rise from your beds. Pray that Jesus Christ will be lifted high and that we will love our neighbors as ourselves.

precious baby at six weeks

Sanctuary Ministries Update
Orlando Women's Center
Sunday morning, February 8, 2009
8:45-10am
Sidewalk counselors: Mark & Jo Andrews, Doug (from Pro-Life Action Ministries)



Mark Andrews reporting:
At least two babies were spared a gruesome execution today as the Holy Spirit honored our prayers by moving on the hearts of two moms, persuading them to leave the killing place without having the procedure done. One couple turned around on the porch and left without even going through the front door after considering Jo's plea.

When I got to the crowded parking lot (as many as 25 cars eventually came and went) at the bottom of the hill, I saw a mother screaming at her daughter to get out of the car. Clearly, she didn't want to. After about 15 minutes, the weeping, pregnant teenager got out of the car with her boyfriend and slowly walked up the hill. "Would you consider adoption as an alternative?" I asked the trio. "No," the stern-faced mother replied. "It's [abortion is] better than welfare. How's that for an alternative?" "There's no shame in welfare," I told her. "It's better than murder. I have information here on how to find a caring family for your grandchild."

A bit later, the boyfriend of an attractive young blonde woman got in my face and said, "Don't you know these women are under a lot of stress? This is a painful decision for them. What gives you the right [to admonish them]? Many of them have explored adoption and been turned down." Which I doubt. I told him that guilt from an abortion leaves many women with a lifetime of emotional scars. And, I said, when my wife was about 26, she knew a woman who had to have a hysterectomy because of a botched abortion. The killing of her first child condemned her to a life of childlessness.

As another woman walked up the hill from the parking lot, she said, "Let those who are without sin cast the first stone." "No one is casting any stones", I told her. "We're offering the alternative of life for your baby."

Jo wept as she walked down the hill to talk to me. "I almost had one," she said. "But her boyfriend grabbed her by the arm and pulled her inside."

A few minutes later, however, Jo prayed that another couple would not go inside the building. Then she told them, "Please don't go in there. I had a friend who went in [another abortion clinic], and after that, she couldn't have any children." The young man turned to his girlfriend and said, "Let's don't go in." She hesitated a bit, then nodded and they both left.

Shortly thereafter, the girl whose mother had yelled at her to "get your [behind]" into the killing place came outside smiling. We asked if she had changed her mind, and she said "Yes". Mom was furious and drove off without her daughter, returning a short time later, but they still weren't speaking to each other. The young couple accepted Doug's offer to pray with them and took his ministry packet plus information I had on an adoption service and free diagnostic care.

-----
Dear Friends,
What a joy to see how the Lord is using Mark & his wife Jo to reach out to the abortion-bound moms with love, compassion & faith. Praise God for Doug, who was there to be a witness for the Savior as well. Mark let me know that he was not sure when he would be able to return to the clinic because he is going out of town for work for an extended period of time. If you are willing to consider ministering on Sunday, or any other of the abortion days at Orlando Women's Center, please let us know. We do not have a committed team for the times below that are in RED.

Please pray for Mary Jo & I as we begin our on-call period for the trial of Dr Nelson Kraucak today through February 20. Remember that Mary Jo is ready to deliver her little Katie Lee any day now. Pray for her as she approaches the birth of her daughter.
