The Blindness of Man

As told by John Barros:

This video is a bit long for Facebook or YouTube but I put it up anyway in case someone can learn something from all this. Abnar and his wife are from Turkey. This is his third abortion. He would not stay away from us and spent hours with us. This is just a short part of our time together. When you get into these lengthy conversations knowing a baby is about to die, it is brutal.

The biggest thing people need to pray for down here is that God would heal their blindness. Without that there is no hope. I drove home today in tears, as I am sure Bradley Spruill did, with a heart broken for this couple and their precious little five-year-old girl who is angry because her parents told her they were going to abort her brother. Whenever you think of the ministry down here please pray that the Holy Spirit would move with power on the hearts of the people here.

The wicked are estranged from the womb;
They go astray as soon as they are born, speaking lies.
Their poison is like the poison of a serpent;
They are like the deaf cobra that stops its ear,
Which will not heed the voice of charmers,
Charming ever so skillfully.
(Psalm 58:3-5).

Blessed by the Family of our King

As told by John Barros:

Well today went much better on many different levels. Only four came today for abortions and two left. One lasted about ten minutes inside and one never made it in the door.

God is so good. Pray they stay strong. When things happen that quickly you just wonder. So Orlando Women’s Center had seven employees and an abortionist here today for two ladies. It has to be a big loss for them.

Ursula and Steve were here in the morning, and then Sarah Ulrich volunteered at Choices. She came by to encourage and bring me a sandwich she had made. I am so blessed. I don’t deserve brothers and sisters like this. There is nothing like the family of our King!

The End of a Long Battle

As told by John Barros:

The girl in this video fought two grown men for two days. They brought her in and out of Orlando Womens Center. She chose life three times and was subjected to the men’s screams and pressure in the backseat of her car.

They came back with her this afternoon and she never came back out.

At one point while calling out to her she peeked out the blinds and I will never get this out of my mind. Randal comes up at the end of this video. I really don’t even want to post a video like this but this is abortion in America, folks. It isn’t “the local cheerleader who got pregnant by the quarterback”. There is a crazy evil down here all the time.

Forced Girl Returns

As told by John Barros:

Please pray again. Those guys returned with that girl trying once again to force her to abort her baby. She again chose life and they left. I begged her to come to me but they hurried her away.

 

If any of my friends at the other clinics could please call the police if they show up and you see this car. She does not want to do this. It seems like a possible sex trade situation but I don’t know.

[Later same day edit]

I know it’s starting to seem like the series 24 down here, but they’ve brought her back again

Hard Times and Unexpected Encouragement

As told by John Barros:

The craziness was unbelievable down here today. Here is a picture of the young lady for whom I asked for prayer on Facebook earlier today, who stood strong against the men with her trying to force her into having an abortion. I am asking my friends at other clinics to keep an eye out for them over the next few weeks. I am so proud of her she stood against unbelievable screaming and pressure.

There was other good news: a young lady named Kenya chose life and is headed to all the help she needs. Bradley Spruill worked so hard. A lady who brought her daughter and was so vile in the morning came under heavy conviction and ended up trying to talk her daughter out of it. She came out in tears and prayed with Bradley. Patricia Sullivan read the post from earlier and came down to pray. She is one special lady.

Then a lady pulled up, came over, and stood next to me staring as I preached. I asked if there was something I could do for her, thinking she was going to tell me I shouldn’t be there or something. Instead she said, “I want to thank you for making me a grandmother.” I was stunned at first, but she went on to say that her daughter Lauren was going to have an abortion but chose life several months ago. Lauren took materials sending her to Daria at Choices. She received an ultrasound and help from them. Christine said she didn’t know about all this at the time, and just wanted to come by and say thank you.

You know that is thanks to all of you who support the ministry down here in prayer. It truly is not me; it is God and the prayers of His saints. It was an extreme emotional roller coaster down here, but God is so faithful to send encouragement. God bless you all..

Bringing Beauty

As told by John Barros:

Today was such a beautiful day down here. Bradley Spruill and Tanner Johnson from Reformation Bible College came down to minister.

God in His great mercy opened the eyes of three ladies and gave them the faith to trust Him. There was warfare going on in the hearts of these ladies, but they are no match for the Prince of Peace. All three ended up rejoicing with tears and hearts of thanksgiving. Two of them went to Choices and one went to First Life. Please pray that Jesus would strengthen and provide for Sheena, Tonya, and Margarette. It is so amazing to watch God work and see those faces shine when they submit to His will. There were two others who turned away as well but we didn’t get to pray with them.

Tanner is a Sacred Music student at Reformation Bible College and plays violin in the Saint Andrew’s Sinfonia at Saint Andrew’s Chapel. He played to bring some beauty against the darkness and death inside. You can see the people looking out the windows while he is playing.

Pray that the last three who were inside had seeds planted in their hearts. I am so very thankful for Bradley and Tanner. They have such hearts for God..

Women Impacting the Nation meeting

From John Barros:

I sure would appreciate your prayers this evening. I was honored to be asked to speak at the Women Impacting the Nation meeting tonight in Mount Dora. These ladies do some awesome and vital work. I hope to learn a lot. If you live in central Florida you should come to meet other ladies from all walks of life who work together as a team.

The meeting is at 7:00pm at the Lakeside Inn (100 Alexander Street, Mount Dora).

Update (11:15pm):  Thank you all for praying… it was an awesome evening with wonderful people that gives me hope for our country!.

Hugs, Thanks, and a Police Report

As told by John Barros:

God is so good. I was blessed to spend the day with Bradley Spruill from Reformation Bible College. We were able to see God turn the hearts of two different ladies today. The first ones wrestled by their car with the decision and they finally left, but please pray that they stay away.

 

Then somebody called the police when I started preaching.The police were filling out a report when a young lady named Jaqueline and her friend Shanti came out clapping and saying that they chose life. It’s always nice when the police are filling out a report on how “mean and nasty” you are, and a young lady is hugging you and thanking you for being there! Please pray for Jacqueline; she is going to a local crisis pregnancy center.

The Latest “Stephen King” Moment

As told by John Barros:

I know all my friends up north will laugh, but it is bitter cold down here in Florida. I am so thankful Beth Goble brought her daughters down to freeze with us.

 

God has been so good at OWC bringing in the new year. There are several wonderful things going on and three ladies have chosen life.

The latest “Stephen King moment” happened today when the abortionist Randal Whitney pulled up to the wall, rolled down his window, and said he hoped I had a great Christmas. He told me he spent his in Sonoma County, California going to all the wineries. He said he drank so much wine that it’s still sloshing around in his belly. Then he told me he hopes I have a great year. It left me speechless, which doesn’t happen very often..
