Fake Coupons

Posted on by

Recently coupons from Orlando Women’s Center for a discount on abortions (“Sunday only”) has gone viral, being covered everywhere from Florida Right to Life to Drudge Report to the local CBS affiliate. Even Mark Driscoll posted about it on Facebook.

As John Barros reports, though, Orlando Women’s Center has not been open on Sundays for more than a year. Even though clinic owner James Pendergraft told reporters OWC would be open “seven days a week”, it has still been closed on Sundays because they cannot find a doctor willing to kill babies that day.

He is glad to report, however, that likely thanks in part to all the bad publicity, OWC has not been nearly as busy since it reopened. Before it was raided there were usually 20-25 women each day who came to kill their babies. Now it is more like 8-10.

Professing Stickers

Posted on by

As reported by John Barros.

Some days are just miserable down here, especially when professing believers come to kill their babies. Today in this blistering heat we had the usual people with their Z88.3 Christian radio bumper stickers, a father out crying and begging for prayer who claimed to be a Christian that has been fornicating with a nonbeliever for seven months and now finds himself trying to talk her out of killing his child to no avail.

But worst of all there is a new clinic worker who drove in with a Choose Life license plate! Just when you think you’ve seen it all…

The Work Continues

As reported by John Barros.

It has been so busy down here I can’t keep up with posts.

Friday it was slow with only eight showing up. Two chose life. I can’t thank God enough for Beth Goble. She is so faithful and has such a huge heart. The first picture is her calling out to a young lady whose mother and boyfriend had brought for an abortion. They stood out there in the “valley of decision” for probably an hour, hearing calls from Beth, Bryan, and myself. They went inside during the preaching but she didn’t last two minutes. She came out moaning and sobbing over her conviction saying she couldn’t do it and they left. That has been happening a lot lately.

Last week a lady parked out front and went inside. She came out wailing and screaming about the death she felt inside and all the poor babies that were going to die that day. She sat in her car for about a half hour unable to do anything, and then she left.

Another lady Beth talked to chose life, went to a crisis pregnancy center, and found out she wasn’t pregnant.

The father of all lies lives down here and it still continues to amaze me how the clinic workers believe they are Christians. One of them just added a new Jesus sticker to her car.

 

Then there is Bryan McDaniel who so faithfully ministers down here. God is doing a mighty work in his life!

Go out to the abortion clinic in your town; watch Jesus work and see what He will show you. It’s certainly not us; we can’t do things like this!.

Divine Appointments

As reported by John Barros.

I stand amazed at the sweet mercy, compassion, and love Jesus shows us. Two precious ladies chose life today.

Sharlene and her boyfriend chose life and she will be followed up with by one of the nurses next door in Dr. Collins’ office.

 

Then a young lady named Loraina came down unable to speak any English. Bryan, Rachel and I were hopeless. We were able to get Annette from Corpus Christi on the phone and after a lengthy conversation she chose life as well! Annette will be following up with her. Rachel Whited Smith is so awesome: she took Loraina to Choices, stayed with her all day, and took her home.

 

God is so good and puts just the right people in place to deal with others. Thank You, Jesus!.

Local reporters and camera operators enter Orlando Women’s Center for footage about its reopening.

John Barros reported that about 30 women came in to have their babies killed on OWC’s first day back in business.

Clinic owner James Pendergraft told reporters they borrowed equipment from “other facilities that were in the system” in order to reopen..

Divine Appointments While OWC is Closed

Posted on by

As reported by John Barros:

choose life, orlando women's center, abortionYou just never know what God is going to bring your way. Carolyn came to OWC by taxi yesterday to have an abortion. She is here from France on a temporary work assignment. She listened for a short time but didn’t really want any of our help.

The clinic gave her a referral letter to another clinic. She stormed out and headed down the street. Amanda went after her, telling her about what a gift God had given her and she decided to give life to her baby! Carolyn turned and came back.

After a lot of discussion she agreed to having us drive her to First Life; Carmen opened the doors early and let us in. In this very short period of time she became excited about being able to see her baby. When we turned to leave she gave me a massive bear hug and thanked us with tears.

This is just one of dozens of women who came to Orlando Women’s Center during the weeks it was closed. Some had no appointments and had assumed the clinic was open, and some had appointments made by calling Orlando Women’s Center who had not known the abortion was actually scheduled at Pendergraft’s other Orlando abortion clinic (EPOC in Lake Ivanhoe). Many babies were saved as John shared the gospel and offered help to these mothers and their companions..

Bristol, Tennessee

As told by John Barros

John Barros corner of State and Slaughter Bristol Tennessee

In June of 2012 I went to a PEF Conference in Bristol, TN. I wanted to serve at Bristol Regional Women’s Center, an abortion clinic, with other believers. I remember the irony of the center being on the corner of State and Slaughter. I called Patte Smith and told her there was no one serving here. We spent the next few days praying for churches to rise up.

What a difference a year makes! I came back to the PEF Conference this year and five churches were represented there with six pastors and 60 saints from those churches! I know it was not my prayer but many praying people that has done this. It was unbelievably beautiful to serve with these folks; I have never seen such humble servants in my life. Pastor Justin Pierce from Grace Reformed Baptist, Pastor Charles Humphries from St. Peter’s Presbyterian, Pastor Kenny from another Reformed Baptist Church and the other pastors led in such a God-honoring way. Everyone was so precious. abortion

There was a group of pro-abortion protesters there spewing some of the vilest things you have ever heard. But the saints just loved on them, offering water, lunch, etc. In the beginning it just seemed to make them angrier. There was constant horn-blowing as citizens of Bristol drove by with their thumbs up in appreciation for the people standing in opposition to abortion. Some bought water, offered food, etc. reading Bible outside abortion clinic preach life

As the day wore on a few of the pro-abortion people began to speak. There isn’t time to go into the conversations here, but by the time we left a man said “I think I should be on your side,” and asked for Charles’ card so he could possibly go to St. Peter’s. Another guy claiming to be agnostic wanted to follow up with Charles and a young single mother of two traded me her button from Pro Choice Bristol for my card so she could hear more of the gospel. I strongly encouraged her to get with one of the ladies there but to call if she had any questions.

I will cherish it forever. We went to decompress over ice cream and I was asked if I had any advice… but they are everything I hope to be someday..
