John Barros and many other saints have been faithfully ministering at Orlando Women’s Center every day as usual through the remainder of 2014. I, however, have been less faithful in updating this site. Please friend John on Facebook to see the stories of God’s faithfulness from the “missing” two months here. We continue to appreciate your powerful prayers for this ministry!.

Hope and Aryanna
As told by John Barros:
I keep forgetting to post about dear Hope and her daughter Aryanna. Hope chose life seventeen months ago. She has had a rough go of it and needs some help. If anyone in Orange County know somewhere she and Aryanna could live long enough to get on their feet please let me know. Hope has made a profession of faith and spent the day down here today going over the gospel and asking many questions.
Many people had Veterans’ Day off and many came to OWC. Eleven came for abortions and God moved in a mighty way. Jackie and her husband chose life first thing this morning and went to First Life.
Emily came and said she had thought about this for a week or two and had made up her mind. She allowed us to pray for her. She came out during the preaching and stood out listening. Sarah got to speak to her a bit then she went to her car and chose life. Please pray Emily stays strong as she thought the rest of her life was to be “me” time.
Then a young man led his lady away because it had become disgusting to them.
There were two others that also chose life but did not talk to us. Bryan McDaniel and Sarah Woodruff worked so very hard today. What seemed to be the beginnings of a dark day became very bright with the light of God glorifying Himself.
A place for Jasmine and Jeremiah
As reported by John Barros:
Jasmine is in desperate need right now and we are praying a church will enter into her life. She recently committed her life to Christ but she needs help.
Jasmine has been living in a state-run shelter but is being forced to leave today. She chose life and is now 31 weeks pregnant. To stay in the shelter she needed to work at least 20 hours a week and do community service. She would love to do this but her baby is trying to come early. She is getting shots to keep that from happening and she has blood clots forming.
Her doctor has written letters saying she can’t do the work requirement but the shelter says they have to stick by their rules.
Our team is praying a church will come along and adopt her for a few months by either a member taking her and her four-year-old son Jeremiah into their home, or helping her find a room somewhere. Whatever church gets her would be very blessed! She just needs help for a short period of time.
Please join us in praying for this to happen. We have looked everywhere and the crisis pregnancy centers have been looking too.
Text or call John (407-587-5555) if you have a place for this sweet mom and her son to stay.
UPDATE: Jasmine gave birth on May 13th at 31 weeks. Baby Victoria is in the NICU at Winnie Palmer hospital, while Jasmine and Jeremiah are staying at Ronald McDonald House for 30 days. They are still in search of a long-term solution..
