I know many of you prayed for Jovannah about 7 months ago. She showed up today to say Thanks and show off her two-month-old, 14lb, head full of hair, gorgeous baby boy Jonielle.

God has really been moving in her life through some very hard things. She is so thankful and wanted to ask all those who have been praying to please continue!

As told by John Barros:

Arelia is asking for prayer. She was an addict years ago and got cleaned up. When she had her baby she had to have a C-section. She didn’t want it because she was a recovering addict and she would be required to take pain meds. She went somewhere with her baby and became tired and fell asleep in her car. The police arrested her even though the pills she had on her were prescription.

The judge told her she could not live in her home with her baby. For the last four months she has had to sleep in her car across the street from her home in a field from 11 – 6. She then can go in with her family. Today she just had an evaluation and she is medically and mentally cleared to stay in her home full-time. Tomorrow she has a hearing in front of her judge.

Please pray that the judge would show compassion and she would continue to grow in Christ. She is coming to Saint Andrew’s now.

One of the most amazing things I have seen Jesus do is happening down here now. There is a psychiatrist at a local rehab clinic who is sending people he feels really want to change their lives down here. He has seen the difference in the young ladies who have made professions of faith and are coming to Saint Andrew’s. Their families are now coming with them.

They certainly are not instantly perfect by any stretch of the imagination but who is? I’m worse than them but oh, what a Savior we have! Please pray for Arelia and all these girls..

As told by John Barros:

I feel like the old Presbyterian pastor who tripped over the curb said “Thank God that one’s behind me.” Sheesh, what a week. All the craziness that happens here seemed to happen in one week. There was so much opposition.

God turned the heart of one young lady today and there was some awesome ministry going on down there. A few girls made professions of faith this week and want to come to Saint Andrew’s this Sunday. There was also a young lady who wanted to place her baby up for adoption and Bonnie and Jessica took her over to Choices to get the help she needs.

Thank God He had Warren Marquardt down here this week. He is a wonderful warrior. Jesse Stiemann and Andrew Gilhooley also came today and of course faithful Beth Goble.

There was so much hard work this week. Randal Whitney didn’t come today so they had the itinerant abortionist Spitola here. Jesse asked him when he was going to quit killing babies and he threatened to kill Jesse. It was one of those weeks.

It makes me so want to listen to hymns and think of dear friends who love their spouses and children and have cookie swaps. I can’t wait to worship at my church. Keep praying, folks. It is working..

As told by John Barros:

Today was one of those days where it feels like even a shower won’t get you clean.

There were 10-15 who came but the worst thing was that three were professing Christians. One from Calvary Chapel Melbourne with a Z88.3 bumper sticker said it was okay to kill her baby because God took her other baby.

Then we had a couple of ladies who had I Love All Saints Academy and Episcopalian Prep School stickers on their car.

Then a lady with a “clergy” license plate came. We thought she was here only to support a friend but to our horror she had an abortion as well.

It was pretty crazy but there were a couple of rays of light. One young lady left and was thanking Bryan McDaniel ever so sweetly for being there. Said she was going to First Life.

The other ray was that Allura Lightfoot came by. She was in the area helping some folks and came by to encourage and help.

As told by John Barros:

Saturdays have been slow for a while but not today. It got pretty darn busy but God who is rich in mercy opened the eyes of two young ladies who chose life and one who turned away.

I got to minister with my dear sister Patte Smith for a little while this morning. That is always a pleasure. Scott was here as well, as were Heather and her kids.

God is so good..

As told by John Barros:

People were lining up outside before 9:00am for the Black Friday sale at OWC.

God is so good. Today people were coming with their coupons on Black Friday to get their discounted abortions. It seemed like it was going to be a very dark day indeed but you all prayed and God answered in such a wonderful way!

Eight people came and four left. It was awesome to see half the people walk out. Three chose life and the fourth was a “turnaway” who said she may still do it. It is so cool to see a mother bring her daughter, be faced with who she is and what she is doing in the light of Gods Word, come out during the preaching with her daughter, saying over and over again ” Thank you, thank you!”

These folks were so angry and mean but God opened eyes and softened hearts. It was so amazing. Bradley got to preach for the first time. Nicole and the RBC kids ministered to Hope and Aryanna.

God brought light to some very dark hearts here on Black Friday. Thanks for praying and please continue to pray for these ladies..

As told by John Barros:

I can’t begin to thank all of you who prayed today. It was pretty crazy. By the end of the day 17 had come to have abortions. It was quite a battle indeed. One sad note is that Dr. Scott Hyde who quit some time back showed up for a bit.

Jesse came in the afternoon along with Tiffany and Jay. There ended up being two who chose life and one that we didn’t get to talk or pray with. One of the couples was so happy when we clapped for their decision. Then Dear Dr. Collins came out and brought us lunch.

Thanks again for praying; don’t think I will let my pride get in the way of asking again. I am so very thankful for you all. Have yourself an awesome day of Thanksgiving..

As told by John Barros:

The signs on the cars should pretty much let you know what the crowd was like here today (Ecclesiastes 9:3). The abortionist Randal Whitney pulled in at 9:00 and said, “Yep gotta make room for the holidays.”

We were lectured by folks all day on how God either doesn’t exist or He forgives anything and all sin is the same. We had people come down to “help” saying God loves everyone and all the babies go to heaven anyway. Professing Christians saying God told them it was okay to abort their babies and He would give them back when their situation is better.

I don’t know if I have a heightened sense of evil during the holidays, but the people always seem to be a lot more vile during this time. Besides telling them what God thinks of this and the hope there is in Him, we told them that the rest of their lives at Thanksgiving they will know there should be another chair at the table. They don’t care.

It is tough when you see the blindness of man’s heart bring so much devastation. I wish there was better news today..

As told by John Barros:

This is a picture of Reformation Bible College. There really is no place like it on earth.

The kids who go here get the best possible education there is, but the huge difference I see is that they take what they learn in school and bring it to the street. These pictures are just a normal day down here. These kids leave a campus that is the closest thing there is to heaven and come to the gates of hell to bring the gospel and the love of Christ to the lost.

They stand up to days of persecution in many forms with hearts broken for the people they are there to save. Today they prayed with a girl who “chose life,” only to watch her go in to get her ID and not come back out. They were screamed and cursed at. People came out screaming “Another one bites the dust” after having their abortion, and pretty much every other thing that can be said.

The students hung in and fought the good fight. They were able to lead a mother and her daughter out, and minister to a young lady who made a profession of faith Thursday. They were able to again clarify the gospel to her. Now Mia, her husband, and little daughter will be coming to Saint Andrew’s on Sunday.

Such was the day today. I just want folks to see what these students do. They are buried in homework but serving both their King and neighbors. I so don’t deserve to even know these kids, much less serve with them. God is so good. If any of you have ever thought of going to a Bible college, this is the place to be. There is such love in this place..

As told by John Barros:

The insanity continues down at OWC. I haven’t seen a week like this in a long time.

There was a detective who brought a lady much younger than him down here and he was ticked. He hated the message and didn’t like being shown to be the coward he is. Then we had families showing up together with little children.

Then a lady came and sat in “my office” (actually my wall) and read her Bible as she sent her daughter in to kill her baby. I spent hours going through the gospel and what God thinks of this with them to no avail.

And of course Thursday just wouldn’t be complete without the people coming to pick up the dead babies. Some days you come home and take a shower and it just doesn’t get you clean, no matter how long you wash.

I wish there were two Lord’s days. When these days happen I just long to worship at Saint Andrew’s.

There was good news, though. Two ladies chose life. Alisha is 18 weeks along. She was so hard and angry but God had her come talk. She let me pray for her and He touched that hard heart and the tears were flowing. It was beautiful. I also got to speak with a lady named Mia. We had a great talk and she wants me to pick her up on Sunday to go to Saint Andrew’s.

The crew down here helping today were Hope and Sarah, two brand new baby Christians.

God is so good… even little Aryanna was a prayer warrior today.
