Be sure Your Presumptuous Sins will find you out!

We meet many sexually immoral women who murder their infants saying "God forgives". We often ask them if they hope God will forgive the professing Christian pervert who intends to rape them.

Here is a story about indulgences, the practice of forgiving sins for a sum of money that was practiced by the Roman Catholic church. I have often thought that the non-Catholics churches only require church attendance & they give their hearers the impression that sin is nothing to God. Church has become a sort of 'indulgence'.

Enjoy this story.


A certain Saxon nobleman heard John Tetzel proclaiming his doctrine of indulgences, and the gentleman was much aggravated at this perversion of truth. Accordingly, he approached the monk one day and inquired as to whether he might purchase an indulgence for a sin he intended to commit.

“Most assuredly,” replied Tetzel, “I have received full powers from his holiness for that purpose.” After some haggling, a fee of thirty crowns was agreed upon, and the nobleman departed.

Together with some friends, he hid himself in a nearby forest. Presently, as Tetzel journeyed that way, the knight and his mischievous companions fell upon the papal salesman, gave him a light beating, and relieved him of his money, apparently taking no pains to disguise themselves.

Tetzel was enraged by the foul deed and filed suit in the courts. When the nobleman appeared as the defendant, he produced the letter of exemption containing John Tetzel’s personal signature, which absolved the Saxon of any liability. When Duke George (the judge before whom the action was brought) examined the document, exasperated though he was, he ordered the accused to be released.

Error is its own worst enemy!

Letter from an imprisoned abortionist

I stood on the sidewalk at 1103 Lucerne Terrace praying against the opening of the first late term abortion clinic in Central Florida. James Scott Pendergraft had informed the city that he wanted to commit abortions through all three trimesters of pregnancy. When the Lord allowed Orlando Women's Center to open in 1996, I sensed that He wanted me to stay to reach out to the aborting moms & companions, clinic workers & yes, even the abortionists, with the gospel of life & eternity. I had already been ministering outside all of the other murder mills in Orlando for 3 years but when Orlando Women's Center opened, I settled down to make it my main mission field.

When Pendergraft was found guilty of conspiracy to commit extortion, lying under oath and mail fraud & sent to a federal penitentiary I wrote to ask the abortionist to allow me to visit him. I wanted to share the gospel with the man.

Here is what the serial baby-killer wrote to me in response to my letter:

Dear Patte,
God says to love thy neighbors as thyself and to love all people including your enemies. That in order to love people you must not have hatred. I go to sleep every night with love and peace in my heart. I hate no one. I look forward to getting out soon and continuing my mission of helping women in one of the most difficult times in their lives. No one will ever change that. I am more determined than ever to pursue my mission.

I see you more than enough when I pass you on the sidewalk of Orlando Women's Center. If you would like to donate to my legal fees please talk with our security presonnel. God bless you and take care.

Sincerely,
Dr Pendergraft

Perhaps this will help people to understand why I abhor the wishy-washy Christendom which makes everyone, including abortionists & aborting & post-abortive women, feels as if God loves them just the way they are ... unrepentant, with no fear of God in their eyes. This is the devil's business.

Sin is a devil dressed as an angel.
~ RC Sproul

Let niceties and relativism & humanism be flung to the dogs. Let churchianity & comfort IN sin be confessed & forsaken.

Silence kills babies. Abortion is the devil's business & the church is complicit by her silence & her tolerance. We should be ashamed & repent.

" ...as for murderers ... their portion will be in the lake that burns with fire and sulfur .."
Revelation 21:8

Photos from The 300: Warriors for Life & Eternity

"...the LORD will work for us,
for the LORD is not restrained to save
by many or by few."
I Samuel 14:6

Over the years of reaching out to aborting moms & dads with the gospel of life & eternity I have often been tempted to bemoan the fact that so very few Christians were willing to commit to evangelizing at abortion clinics every week. Now that I have served in this mission field of blood for 17 years I have come to see things differently. It has been my observation through study of the scriptures that the Lord is looking for ways not to INCREASE the numbers of those in His service, but to lessen their number by defining who IS & who is NOT a servant of the most High God. Consider the story of Gideon's army in Judges 7:

And the LORD said to Gideon, “The people are still too many. Take them down to the water, and I will test them for you there, and anyone of whom I say to you, ‘This one shall go with you,’ shall go with you, and anyone of whom I say to you, ‘This one shall not go with you,’ shall not go.” So he brought the people down to the water. And the LORD said to Gideon, “Every one who laps the water with his tongue, as a dog laps, you shall set by himself. Likewise, every one who kneels down to drink.” And the number of those who lapped, putting their hands to their mouths, was 300 men, but all the rest of the people knelt down to drink water. And the LORD said to Gideon, “With the 300 men who lapped I will save you and give the Midianites into your hand, and let all the others go every man to his home.”

Judges 7:4-7

God provides that the praise of victory may be wholly to Himself, by appointing only three hundred men to be employed. Activity and prudence go with dependence upon God for help in our lawful undertakings. When the Lord sees that men would overlook Him, and through unbelief, would shrink from perilous services, or that through pride they would vaunt themselves against Him, He will set them aside, and do His work by other instruments. Pretences will be found by many, for deserting the cause and escaping the Cross. But though a religious society may thus be made fewer in numbers, yet it will gain as to purity, and may expect an increased blessing from the Lord... They grudged not at the liberty of the others who were dismissed...

Yes; (1.) God would hereby show that when he employed suitable instruments in His service Ge did not need them, but could do His work without them, so that He was not indebted to them for their service, but they to Him for employing them.
(2.) He would hereby put those to shame for their cowardice who had tamely submitted to the Midianites, and durst not make head against them, because of the disproportion of their numbers...
(3.) He would hereby silence and exclude boasting. This is the reason here given by him who knows the pride that is in men’s hearts: Lest Israel vaunt themselves against me. Justly were those denied the honour of the success. My own hand hath saved me is a word that must never come out of the mouth of such as shall be saved. He that glories must glory in the Lord, and all flesh must be silent before Him...

Cowards would be as likely as any, after the victory, to take the honour of it from God, and therefore God would not do them the honour to employ them in it...
Note, Fearful faint-hearted people are not fit to be employed for God; and, among those that are enlisted under the banner of Christ, there are more such than we think there are. (2.) He directed the cashiering of all that remained except 300 men, and he did it by a sign: The people are yet too many for me to make use off...

God saith, they are too many, and, when diminished to a third part, they are yet too many, which may help us to understand those providences which sometimes seem to weaken the church and its interests: its friends are too many, too mighty, too wise, for God to work deliverance by; God is taking a course to lessen them, that He may be exalted in His own strength.

~ Matthew Henry

May the Lord count us worthy to be one of His faithful few warriors in the battle for life & eternity, & may we always remember that the glory belongs to Christ alone.

Material to Share & Questions to Ask your Crisis Pregnancy Center

Purchase dozens of copies of http://www.livingwaters.com/index.php?page=shop.product_details&flypage=flypage.tpl&product_id=143&category_id=9&option=com_virtuemart&Itemid=199&lang=en

Go to your local pregnancy help center & give the director & all the counselors a copy of 'Hell's Best Kept Secret' & 'True & False Conversion'. Ask for feedback. Ask the director &/or counselors a few questions, like;

1) Do you tell your clients that their baby is a human being, created by God in His image & likeness & that her infant is a gift from God? If not, why not?

2) Do you tell your client that God says "You shall not murder" & forbids the shedding of innocent blood, calling it 'sin'? If not, why not?

3) Do you tell your client that sin is transgressing God's Law (His commandments) & that His commandments forbid both sexual immorality (fornication) & murder (abortion)? If not, why not?

4) Do you tell your client that the Bible prophesies that all murderers have their place in the lake which burns with fire & brimstone (Rev 21:8) & that no sexually immoral person has any inheritance in the kingdom of heaven (Eph 5:5)? If not, why not?

5) Do you explain to your client that Jesus has said that unless she repents (confesses & forsakes sexual immorality, thoughts of murder, & all other sin) she will perish (be sent to hell on the day of judgment)? If not, why not?

Withholding the truth, the Law of God, (which brings the knowledge of sin, is perfect converting the soul, is a tutor to Christ, speaks directly to the conscience, brings conviction & elicits fear of the Lord, etc, etc, etc) is suppressing the truth in unrighteousness. (Share the link: http://www.monergism.com/thethreshold/articles/onsite/sproul/threefold_law.html with her, because the moral Law of God has a 3-fold use, the second of which is to restrain evil, so even those who are not being savingly wrought upon can be powerfully affected by the sharing of the commandment "You shall not murder".) Although it is very tempting & you will find allies in your flesh, the world & with the devil to withhold the truth as it is in Jesus Christ through the scripture, it is the sin of omission. 'Methods' & philosophies which leave out the law & the gospel are not Christian or God-honoring but they are ministry-honoring & they are man/woman centered, rather than Christ/gospel-centered. We should not be trying to please women, but rather to please God, who has the power to save these lost moms & rescue their babies.

Intentional Murder

Two or Three Witnesses
Intentional murder

Abortion is the intentional murder of an innocent child (or children if there are twins in the mother's womb.)

In Numbers 35:16-21, 29-31 the duty for “The murderer shall surely be put to death” is commanded NINE times.

In verse 19 it is given that “The avenger of blood himself shall put the murderer to death ...” The Geneva Study Bible notes that the ‘avenger of blood’ is a member of the victim’s family customarily designated to avenge the victim’s death by killing the manslayer.

“Whoever kills a person, the murderer shall be put to death on the testimony of witnesses; but one witness is not sufficient testimony against a person for the death penalty.” Numbers 35:30

“Whoever is deserving of death shall be put to death on the testimony of 2 or 3 witnesses; he shall not be put to death on the testimony of one witness. The hands of the witnesses shall be the first against him to put him to death, & afterwards the hands of all the people.” Deuteronomy 17:6-7

Two or three witnesses must agree and be sincerely convinced of the guilt of the bloodguilty because they must be there and willing to take part in the stoning.

This duty is part and parcel of fulfilling the commandment to love our neighbor as ourselves and: “You shall not murder”. While shedding innocent blood is prohibited, the implicit duty of this commandment is to love and protect your neighbor and to prevent any harm from coming against an innocent person.

Since pure religion and undefiled is described as visiting the orphans in their affliction, we see a particular imperative to protect the little ones imperiled by abortion. These are the children who are orphaned by their mothers and fathers and family.

This duty is also related to love of justice and fulfills Jesus’ positive command to us to ‘judge righteous judgment’ (John 7:24)

“It is not good to show partiality in judgment. He who says to the wicked, ‘You are righteous,’ him the people will curse; nations will abhor him. But those who rebuke the wicked will have delight, and a good blessing will come upon them.” Proverbs 24:23-25

Showing partiality or preference to the guilty mother over the innocent child is biblically understood as a sinful offense to God and man.

“You shall do not injustice in judgment. You shall not be partial to the poor, nor honor the person of the mighty. In righteousness you shall judge your neighbor ... You shall surely rebuke your neighbor and not bear sin because of him.”
Lev 19:15,17

“You shall not show partiality in judgment; you shall hear the small as well as the great; you shall not be afraid of any man’s presence, for the judgment is God’s.”
Deut 1:17

We should consider the wee innocent children, who, being weak & helpless cannot speak for themselves. When witnessing for Christ & against the murder of babies we must guard against having & showing partiality to the 'greater' in might & power, which is the mother.

“You shall not pervert justice; you shall not show partiality, nor take a bribe, for a bribe blinds the eyes of the wise and twists the words of the righteous. You shall follow what is altogether just...”
Deut 16:19,20

“Do not judge according to appearance, but judge with righteous judgment.”
John 7:24

Let us ask the Lord to lead and direct us, praying with the psalmist, “O Lord, according to Your Word, teach me good judgment and knowledge ...” (Psalm 199:65,66)

“For judgment is without mercy to the one who has shown no mercy.” James 2:13

We must go forth humbly, knowing that out of the Lord’s grace for us we warn the wicked mothers & fathers & companions (& the abortionists & clinic workers as well), lest by their stubborn refusal to show mercy to their infants, God withholds mercy from them in the day of judgment. Thanks be to God for the friend who shared the moral Law and this Gospel warning with us, that we might repent to the saving of our souls through the truth as it is in Jesus Christ.

How to Begin to Witness at a Killing Place

First, establish when abortions are committed:
You’ll need to call the killing place posing as someone who is interested in having an abortion. Get the earliest & latest possible abortion appointment times on the day that you would like to minister.

Here is a script you can use when calling the abortuary: 

http://www.forerunner.com/impact/behind-the-scenes-part-3-call-the-abortion-center-for-information Arrive 45 minutes early & if possible, plan to stay at least 30 minutes after the last abortion time. Arriving early will allow you to get situated, pray & then engage every abortion-bound mom & their companions. This will often allow you to engage the abortuary workers as well.

Procrastination, a big problem:
Don't put it off -- get out there and spy out the land. Figure out where to park, where to stand, etc, etc. If possible it’s best to try and stop everyone who is arriving as they pull into the parking lot, and offer them your ministry packet. Of course a lot depends on the set up of the clinic itself. Hopefully you’ll have good access to the mothers. There may be other pro-lifers out there & they can show you the lay of the land.

Crisis Pregnancy Centers :
Before you go to the killing place, I'd highly recommend that you make an appointment and have a sit down talk with the director of the local cpc’s. (Crisis pregnancy centers can be located by looking under Abortion Alternatives in the yellow pages). Let them give you a tour of the center and look through their ministry materials. Get their hours of operation and establish whether they do ultrasound on abortion-minded women. See if you can get them to give you as many brochures for pregnant and abortion-minded women as you can so that you can have these on hand or even include them in your ministry packet. Be sure to get the ones FOR pregnant women and NOT the ones they give to raise support from the church.

Ask the director about the ministry. Be sure to inquire about whether they are faithful to use scriptures & to share a biblical gospel message. Ask her: "Exactly what do you say to a woman who says she is going to have an abortion?" Just to let you know, CPC counselors rarely, if ever, speak of God or use the words "wrong", "murder", "sin", "judgment", "wrath" or "hell" & "repentance". Almost half of women who abort today will already have murdered at least ONE child or MORE before you meet them at the killing place. Ask the director what they say to a woman who admits to having already had one or more abortions. The call to repentance is often left out of counseling, or at least is compromised by many other humanistic, non-directive/non-judgmental types of counseling, as it often is in the churches. Take time to give the women's center director a CD copy of the biblical evangelism teaching Hell’s Best Kept Secret (see below for how to find it) and explain how vital the Law and the call to repentance is in reaching the lost. It would be good to give her a copy of True and False Conversion message on CD as well. These gospel tools may revolutionize the life and ministry of that women's center, bring many women to the saving knowledge of Christ and SAVE the lives of countless children. Another thing, if the center has brochures, it ideal for them to have a map on them, showing exactly where the cpc is located & for it to have the hours of operation clearly printed.

While I appreciate these cpcs they often have a "build it and they'll come" philosophy (a lot like churches do). Studies have shown that 85% of the business of women's centers is NOT in preventing abortion. (Unless they are located next to or across from a killing place.) The vast majority of women they serve are seeking pregnancy tests (for women who want their babies as well as women who don't), giving out diapers, baby clothes, pregnancy clothes, car seats ... in other words, FREEBIES. Women come for the free stuff. This is not BAD in and of itself. It's just that it is a fact that women's centers don't serve to save the lives of many infants. All of this changes dramatically when the women's center purposely locates itself NEXT to or ACROSS from a killing place and/or the counselors themselves GO to the abortion clinic to call out to the women. (I've seen this first hand and it is amazing pro-active pro-life missionary labor!) There is nothing that takes the place of Jesus' example of going to the lost.

If you go directly to an abortuary during abortion times you WILL be involved in a direct- intervention ministry & will meet ALL of the aborting women (and men) head on.

Good Resource Book:
I highly recommend that you get the book 'Pro-Life Answers to Pro-Choice Arguments' by Randy Alcorn. This comprehensive book is full of thought-provoking answers to the justification of child-killing that are bound to arise. It's awesome!

ADOPTION:
Another good thing to do ahead of time is to look under ADOPTION in the yellow pages or google & find Christian adoption agencies, if possible. Go visit the director there as well. Find out how much they are willing to help pregnant women, get their brochures for birth moms, & share Hell’s Best Kept Secret and True & False Conversion with them too. They will help you get educated about how adoption works. Remember, though, you do not have to become an expert on adoption. God has provided professionals to provide adoption counseling. Direct the women you counsel to the adoption agency. Be sure to ask about the process of open adoption. It’s a wonderful way for the abortion-minded mom to be pro-active in personally selecting the right couple for her baby and also keeping communication open to continue to know how her child is doing.

Tracts:
You can get powerfully compelling brochures for abortion-minded women from Cherish California at http://cherishca.com/brochure.html They are willing to provide them FREE to those who are willing to put them directly into the hands of abortion-bound moms. I also highly recommend that you use the ‘Did you know?’ tract that you can purchase from Hayes Publishing. See it halfway down on this page: http://hayespub.tripod.com/NewCatalog.html#brochure Another very good tract to use is 'Innocent Blood': http://tractleague.com/tracts/innocent-blood-302?PHPSESSID=0e0504fd26fce668da6d4eca3aeaf66b

Lynn Copeland has written a wonderful insert for our ministry packets. It's "What God's Word says about Abortion". Here is the text: http://www.christiananswers.net/q-comfort/abortion-bible.html  I can send you this insert as an attachment in an e mail. Just contact me at pattesmith@gmail.com & I'll send it to you.

Biblical Gospel, how to share the way of salvation:
It is important that you learn to share a biblical gospel, if you don't know how to do this already. Listen to the teachings called Hell’s Best Kept Secret: http://www.livingwaters.com/learn/hellsbestkeptsecret.htm
and True and False Conversion http://www.livingwaters.com/learn/trueandfalse.htm
at least two times each. There is a Christian television program called The Way of the Master (www.wayofthemaster.com) that teaches you step by step how to use God’s law to address the conscience of a lost person. I highly recommend that you watch the program on tv or order every season of the DVD for WOTM. You can go to http://wayofthemaster.com/watchepisodes.shtml to see how to view particular episodes. This amazing method of evangelism will teach to how to engage the lost at the killing place. You will not need to learn how to give the entire “Good Person Test” taught on WOTM but you will need to familiarize yourself with the scriptures about murder and fornication by searching the Bible.

Biblical Gospel tract for abortion-bound women & men:
We have published a new tract. You can view it & read it & it is available for you to purchase here:

Initial approach to aborting moms & dads:
Here’s how you might begin to reach out to the people you meet at the killing place. We commonly use the Good Samaritan model to start with. Smile and wave the car over and say; “Hi, my name is ___________ and I have a special ministry packet for you.” If they draw near or roll down their window to receive your ministry materials, introduce yourself and ask the woman and her companions; "What is the biggest reason (or #1 reason) why you feel like you just can't have this baby right now?" From there offer her practical, emotional and spiritual help through her pregnancy. Be genuine. Give her scriptures such as Jeremiah 1:5 ("Before I formed you in the womb, I knew you.") & Psalm 127:3 ("Children are a gift from the Lord.") Help her to see that her baby is designed, created & sustained by God, just as she is. It is important that you are willing to LISTEN & to give of your time, talent & treasure to love the individual mothers that you meet, as God gives you the grace. Naturally, you can hand her information about the nearest women's pregnancy help/resource center - especially if she is looking for a free pregnancy test. It's almost always good to bring up adoption as a wonderful option as well. Bring the adoption brochures (from a local Christian adoption agency if possible) with you and consider placing them right in your ministry packet as well. We like to point abortion-bound women to the websites: www.birthmother.com & www.parentprofiles.com because many of them are able to peruse these sites from their phones, even while inside the waiting room of the abortuary. As the Lord (and time) allows progress from the natural to the spiritual. Go straight to the Law, focusing on the Sixth Commandment. (No need to do the Good Person test because it is already established that the woman or man is murdering their baby. Very few people deny that abortion is "wrong", "murder" and most readily admit that it is "sin" and that God does not want them to do it.) Since sexual immorality is such a serious & damnable sin, we often seek the leading of the Lord & explain that fornication is also forbidden by God. Avoid presenting murdering the baby as one of three "options". God does not allow for murder of an innocent person, so we shouldn't either. Let the mother (& her companions) know that God forbids the shedding of innocent blood, so that is not a "choice" she is permitted to choose. We do not give the grace part of the message unless or until a person is humble & stops justifying their sin. Depending on the set-up, you may have some good opportunities to open air preach in front of the killing place as well. We're able to do it here and it is POWERFUL!

POST-abortion:
At least half (maybe more) of the mothers and fathers you will meet at the abortuary have already murdered at least one infant. It's important that you have a good biblical understanding of genuine repentance. Because of Proverbs 28:17 we don't recommend post-abortion ministries or retreats. (http://bible.cc/proverbs/28-17.htm gives you many versions of this scripture, cross references for other verses & excellent commentaries on this scripture.)

Our gospel tract should provide all abortion-bound sinners with the truth as it is in Jesus. whether they are post-abortive or killing for the first time, the gospel is the power of God unto salvation. It is enough.

Visual aids:
When we first started we arrived on the sidewalk outside the killing place as Jesus commanded His disciples when He sent them out to preach the Kingdom. In Luke 22:35 the Master asks; “When I sent you without money bag, knapsack, sandals, did you lack anything?” (See Matthew 10; Mark 6; Luke 9 & 10) We took nothing but ourselves, our love of Christ & His gospel & our perishing neighbors. We saw the Lord use us to save babies from abortion. He used us to love their mothers through their pregnancy & to share the truth as it is in Jesus with her. As the years have gone by we have supplemented our witness with many wonderful visual tools. Fetal models of babies through the gestation period, great signs (graphic abortion signs & beautiful images of babies in the womb, adoptive families, scriptures, etc). We who are reaching out to counsel the women do not carry a sign, as we have our hands full with ministry materials & fetal models. But, a few of the Christians who join us to pray & to witness DO carry signs, including the graphic abortion sign from The Center for Bio-Ethical Reform (Go to www.cbrinfo.org ) We believe that these graphic images of aborted babies are the Law of God (“You shall not murder”) in picture form & as we all know, a picture is worth a thousand words. We believe that the Law of God is perfect, converting the soul, because that is what the Word of God declares. We believe that the Law brings the knowledge of sin, because the Bible tells us so. We believe that the Law of God is a tutor that points us to Christ, because the scriptures plainly teach it. So, we are unapologetic about using them right where we minister, & we keep them close at hand, but, we keep them a short distance from us as we give the aborting mothers our earnest gospel plea. We also use our internet –access cell phones to go to websites that show photos, give adoptive couple profiles & tell real stories, like Baby Rowan: www.youtube.com/watch?v=lfnNzIzvT-k

Priests for Life sells a wonderful medical illustration of abortion which you can show to aborting moms:
http://www.priestsforlife.org/resources/medical/suctionweb.jpg
Laminating it will keep it fresh.

One of our most important suggestions is: DON'T WAIT! Go out to the killing place asap. The enemy does not want you to reach out to women there ... & he will do everything in his power to fill you with fear & discourage you. We have seen flat tires, sickness, family troubles, haunting dreams, and a serious amping up of the world and the flesh come against those who plan to engage the lost at killing places. Your abortion-bound neighbors might appear to be giants, but the Lord is able to give you courage and confidence and His anointing and authority. Just GO! Grab a friend, if you can. It's always better to go out to the lost in twos.

We are so happy to hear that you are going to be providing a ministry of presence at the killing place in your area. As the years have gone by we are more & more convinced that being where children are being led to slaughter is a mission field that should be part of every Christian's life in one way or another. It is true that people don't care what you know until they know that you care. If Christians don't care enough to go where the babies are sacrificed, it tells aborting moms, dads and certainly the abortionist and clinic workers that Christians just like to SAY that they care that infants are murdered by abortion but they obviously don't really care or their love would be a verb. Missionary David Livingstone said: "Sympathy is no substitute for action." The lost are not impressed or reached or impacted by feelings or words or even prayers of ‘intention’. (As a friend of mine likes to say: "You don’t get points for intention".) Our love for those who are perishing must have feet to be carried to engage & intervene on behalf of Christ & the children He has created & the lost mothers who are slaves to sin & under the judgment of God.

You might enlist friends at church by explaining that there is room for every kind of spiritual and natural gifting outside killing places. We need prayer warriors, evangelists, mercy-gifted women to walk through pregnancy with the moms, men who will befriend the fathers, folks who will offer practical help (like fixing cars, home repairs, financial planning/budgeting, help with babysitting, housekeeping tips, etc) people who can design ministry materials, benefactors who will "adopt" a woman through her pregnancy to help with financial needs, people to organize church groups to pray (I called it Adopt-a-Clinic) people to videotape ministry times, and the list goes on and on.

When a mother changes her mind & does not abort her baby, in addition to asking her to write down all of her contact info so we can follow up (name, address, phone, e mail) we like to give her a little gift bag right away, to take home with her.
Here is what we put into the pretty bag:
*Pre-natal vitamins (inexpensive grocery store brand is only about $5 & I picked up a big stock whenever they are on sale, like buy one get one free!)
* Gospel of John (get 30 free every month by going to www.pocketpower.org
* A thorough gospel tract called:“Are you good enough to get to heaven?” :

* a lovely bookmark: http://lifecyclebooks.com/usa/product_category_results.asp?MAINCAT=Pro%20Life&SUBCAT=Bookmarks
* Pregnancy book (such as “What to Expect When you are Expecting”. I buy these in good used condition at yard sales & thrift stores)
* Special women’s devotionals, mostly scripture, since most of the moms are not Christians. There is a nice one called Daily Devotions for Mothers: http://www.christianbook.com/Christian/Books/product?item_no=94521&kw=94521&en=froogle&p=1013824#curr
* Handmade beaded bracelets for the mom to choose to remember our divine encounter
* Something cute for baby: knit beanie, little security square (blanket), booties, onesie, socks, etc.

A BOLD SUGGESTION:
I suggest that you prayerfully consider going to meet with the abortion clinic STAFF. It would be cool if you or someone on your team would call the mill ahead of time and ask to speak with an administrator. Or, ask for an appointment with the administrator. Say that you are organizing a help/support team for women in crisis pregnancies and thought she would know more about them than anyone else. Ask her “What is the number one need of women who are aborting?” Ask her how many women change their minds about aborting every week and why. Ask her what she thinks would be the most helpful, practical resource to provide for women who are pregnant. Ask her how she thinks you can best help pregnant teens. Ask her what adoption agencies or adoption attorneys she recommends. Educate her with what you know about adoption and the resources of local cpcs. Ask whatever else you can think of. See how much she will tell you about the "procedures". Share the gospel! Offer your own ministry as a support for women who just can't go through with the procedure. Jesus could use your bold and compassionate witness to the clinic worker to bring him or her to Christ! It has happened! Give clinic workers gospel tracts and pass along these two websites: www.clinicworker.com and www.turnstatesevidence.com .

God bless you as you serve Christ & your neighbor with the glorious gospel of grace. Please let me know if you do begin to minister. I would love to hear how the Lord uses you.

For Life & Eternity,

Why Begin Ministering at an Abortion Clinic?
Because the Bible tells us to!

Proverbs 24:10-12
If you falter in times of trouble, how small is your strength! Rescue those being led away to death; hold back those staggering toward slaughter. If you say, "But we knew nothing about this," does not he who weighs the heart perceive it? Does not he who guards your life know it? Will he not repay each person according to what he has done?

Proverbs 31:8
Speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves, for the rights of all who are destitute.

Psalm 94:16
Who will rise up for me against the wicked? Who will take a stand for me against evildoers?

Proverbs 28:4
Those who forsake the law praise the wicked, but those who keep the law resist them.

Psalm 82:3
Defend the cause of the weak and fatherless; maintain the rights of the poor and oppressed.

Mark 12:31
The second is this: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ There is no commandment greater than these."

Ephesians 5:11
Have nothing to do with the fruitless deeds of darkness, but rather expose them.
Matthew 7:12
So in everything, do to others what you would have them do to you, for this sums up the Law and the Prophets.

Ezekiel 33:31, 32 My people come to you, as they usually do, and sit before you to listen to your words, but they do not put them into practice. With their mouths they express devotion, but their hearts are greedy for unjust gain. 32 Indeed, to them you are nothing more than one who sings love songs with a beautiful voice and plays an instrument well, for they hear your words but do not put them into practice.

Matthew 23:23
"Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You give a tenth of your spices – mint, dill and cummin. But you have neglected the more important matters of the law – justice, mercy and faithfulness. You should have practiced the latter, without neglecting the former.

James 1:27
Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world.

James 2:17
In the same way, faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action, is dead.

I John 3:18
Dear children, let us not love with words or tongue but with actions and in truth.

Ephesians 2:10
For we are God's workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.
