As told by John Barros:

 Well the insanity of this week continues; the place was busy for late term day today.  Such a dark coldness.  There were your normal group of people claiming to be Christians, soccer moms bringing their kids, guys bringing their ladies to make sure they don’t have to live up to their responsibilities, etc.

 But today was a bit different because some Satan worshiping anarchists showed up.  They said that Satan was so pleased that they were going to sacrifice their baby to him.  It was horrific to see how they couldn’t wait to do it.  They would curse and yell when you would call them to Jesus.  They stood inside looking out the window while I was preaching flipping me off and yelling… it was so surreal.  To see the mix of soccer moms sitting side by side with death crazed Satan worshipers.  I asked the Satanists what they were going to say to God when they stood before Him: they said they hated God and said the vilest thing you could imagine; I was horrified for them.I had to catch my breathe and think out back for a while.  Out back I realized that there really wasn’t a mix of people inside, they were all the same.  Lost, blind, and in desperate need of Jesus.  

There were some good things in spite of the darkness.  RBC is starting again on Monday so they are filtering back in. Jacob, and Jesse came back; Tom from First Baptist has recovered from heart surgery and has come down to learn.  There were two ladies that turned away.  Nikki who chose life on Monday came back with her Mother to get her money back; they were so happy and thankful.  Please continue to pray… It is blistering hot down here and the battles like this week are pretty exhausting.  Praise God, He is doing amazing things..

As told by John Barros:

 Today was one of the most disgusting days I have ever lived.  Everyone that came today was as vile as you could get.  We had people that brought their kids with them to kill their sibling while having a well worn Bible on their dash. Everyone was spewing out false doctrine and twisting Scripture with a constant barrage of, “all sin is the same” or, “God will or has already forgiven me.”  Then there was this guy- all day long it was a battle with this guy who came with his wife and brought their daughter to have an abortion.  He would call some guy on the phone and get verses to throw around while saying the most vile things I have ever heard. It was so bad that I almost asked Bonnie and Daylan to leave. Then the guy did things to me that I cannot even put on here; he hates me beyond anything I have seen.  It was like he became demon possessed at times.

Then in the afternoon the Lord broke into a young lady’s life.  Nikki chose life and came out in tears.  We prayed with her and Daylan went with her to Choices where she got to see her baby and is so thankful.  Bonnie took her home and was able to explain the Gospel to her. Then one of the most amazing things I have ever seen happened: the daughter of the angry man came out with her ultrasound picture.  She was all of a sudden so happy and was explaining the ultrasound to her boyfriend.  Her mother was burning rubber off her tires coming up the ramp and was very angry, and her dad for the first time was speechless.  They hopped in the car and left.  God is so amazing; chaos and vileness are no match for Him.  

Today marks the end of my fourth year here.  Jesus never changes and He continues to do the most amazing things you could ever imagine.  Bonnie, Daylan, Glenn, Bradley, and I will never forget today. .

As told by John Barros:

 This is the scene we long to see down here: people waiting for the workers to open doors.  This is the best opportunity to warn and present them with God’s word.  I never intended for my camera to catch this; didn’t even realize it was on.  Sorry for the quality. After a period of time I couple left the line and went out back and talked.  They went back inside but after a little bit they came back out.  A minute later they pulled up in their truck to say thank you and we prayed with them.  As we prayed I held his hand and could feel the Lord take the load off his back.  After our time of prayer when they opened their eyes doubt and anxiety was replaced with joy.  Please pray for them, they are really wonderful folks and are getting married the first week of September.

 Beth brought Cassidy with her this morning, and we were talking about how Cassidy was able to witness a miracle in God opening the eyes of a couple and saving a baby.  All this before her friends even woke up; there is nothing on earth like watching Jesus do the miracles He did in the Gospels.  He gives sight to the blind, hearing to the deaf, and heals the lame to be able to walk out of the very pit.  Praise the Lord for He is rich in mercy..

 Today started out with Paola opening the front door and screaming, “go to hell” to Bradley.  They are really feeling the pressure down here to say the least.  It was a usual Thursday with late term Moms returning in the labor they started yesterday; and with new Moms coming to kill their babies along with check ups.  There were two ladies that turned away, and two that will be keeping their babies, praise God.  Every baby that has a Mother choose life is a miracle baby but one today was hugely dramatic: a young lady named Tasha came back today because of another botched abortion; Randal Whitney did an abortion for her about a month ago.  Without going into all the details her baby is still inside her…. Randal only got a portion of her placenta and missed the baby.  I have met quite a few ladies were he’s missed the baby, took only one when they in fact had a twin inside, and others when he only got part of a baby.  It is so disgusting.  Well today Tasha came and they offered to redo her abortion.  God turned her heart and she has chosen life for her baby.  She told them she wanted her money back since the abortion was not successful,  and they didn’t want to.  So Tasha’s sister told us, “I am going to wreak some havoc on this place!!!”

  She jumped up off the wall and she went inside that quiet lobby and with Tasha did just that!  Finally OWC agreed to pay half the cost of the abortion back to her but called the police.  The police came and to make a long story short the ladies were cited for trespassing.  Now you would think that would be enough to get the other folks out, wouldn’t you?  Well I’ve preached about the other abortions they have botched along with the record of this place and Randal Whitney.  I told them there was another lady in there suffering from another botched abortion.  Not a single person came out from this; there is such a bond of death inside this place.  Once they are inside and they get behind those doors it is crazy.  If you ever want to see what it means to be spiritually dead come on down.  So thankful for Philip who worked so hard today, and Tracey Sarnicki who was able to speak with a broken young lady that had an abortion last week.  There was also a lady and her boyfriend that came by to see if I could teach them about God, and another young lady I have been working with told her to come down here.  Please pray for all these people.  Thank you.

As told by John Barros:

  Today was one of those days you truly wish would not happen.  After being so slow a dozen young ladies came to kill their babies.  That’s bad enough, but one of them was someone I know; she came down and it was a war all day long.  She kept coming out, sitting on the wall and talking; during the preaching she looked out constantly. Was able to get her best friend down to talk to her, and explained how the Jesus she thought had forgiven her before having her abortion was a figment of her imagination, not the Jesus of the Bible.  All the folks that came down to serve found themselves in a battle of so much prayer and pleading….they worked so hard.  After all this she went through with it.

Extremely tough day with late term mockers and only two turn ladies turn away.  There was a really beautiful thing about today though: a young lady, Kaitlin, spent the whole day down here.  She heard the gospel preached and stayed all day helping.  She joined the college kids in singing some hymns and Isaac spent a long time explaining the gospel to her.  We all prayed with her and she will be coming to St. Andrew’s on Sunday.  Such beauty in the midst of darkness.  Got home and ran to a pot luck at church.  The fellowship was wonderful and then Pastor R.C. Sproul did a study on Ephesians 5, about darkness and light, and the exposing of darkness…..so timely.  God is so good.  Please continue to pray for the end of this place..

As told by John Barros:

 Please continue to pray that this place would go down soon; once again the numbers were down.  Seven workers and only three clients today….I really believe it cannot last much longer.  There is much going on and I will try to write about that next week.

 Had another member of Central Baptist in Sanford, Glen, come down to help today.  He was a blessing.  I really would like to say how thankful I am for a precious young lady and member of St Andrew’s, Daylan Petterson.  She came down to do a report about three months ago and God has really given her a heart for this ministry.  She works tirelessly in prayer; pleading with those going inside, counseling with those that choose life…. she is such an encouragement and models Jesus to anyone around her..

As told by John Barros:

 Today was amazing… Only two people came for abortions and one of them chose life. Please pray for Brittany, she went to choices and has set up future appointments.  Pray that the Lord would keep her strong and that her pride wouldn’t keep her from reaching out for help.  

 God truly seems to be clamping off OWC’s money supply.  The abortionists are really getting angry…..Randall told the RBC kids that we are “terrorizing” women that he is trying to help.  There were lots of people that came for other things and we were able to have lots of conversations.  Bradley and Philip were here, as well as Shari who brought her boys down to help.  And Tracy, who just had her baby got to thank Shari for the stroller she got her.  Her baby should be able to come home next week.  Jovannah came and brought her little big man down to help.  He is nine months, weighs twenty-seven pounds, and wears eighteen month clothes.   Jovannah has come a long way and actually brought a guy here to have us talk him out of bringing his lady here.  We also had the pleasure of having Lutheran Pastor Ed DeWitt down to visit.  He was here to tell us about his home for unwed mothers.  Please continue to pray… I really believe God is answering and this place is shriveling up and dying..

As told by John Barros:

  Well I never know who the Lord is sending down to serve on any given day….He sent a wonderful crew down here today.  This was the strangest Wednesday I have ever seen…. Only four ladies came down here to kill their babies.  Two began their late term abortions, and there were two others.   Randal came late and was gone by 1:30 pm.  There was a young lady, Lauda, that came back for a check up; they sent her out and she spoke with us.  She said Randall has messed her up on the inside, and said she was going to get checked out when she got back to her home country.  We prayed with her, asking God to bring her to repentance and help her.  She was moved and crying as she walked away with the coward that brought her here.  Lauda has had everything happen to her that she was warned about several times the day she came.  She is a wreck physically, emotionally, and spiritually.  It is so hard to watch this happen to people.  And these guys are such cowards….they could learn by watching little Jeffrey taking care of baby Trinity. Please continue to pray, as the numbers are starting to drop down here.  The word is out on this place… even Randall the other day said we are, “terrorizing” the ladies.  He was very angry.  I would really like to see some miracle bring them down, but their god is money and if money doesn’t show up they will be gone..

As told by John Barros:

  So thankful for all your prayers… we had a wonderful time this morning with Ann.   We got to hear how God caused a scream to well up inside her inside the clinic that said, “Get out of here!!!”  Please continue to pray for her… she is a very brave young lady.  She has two sixteen week beautiful babies in her womb, along with her other two small children.  There are some hurdles ahead but the God that intervened here will continue to guide and strengthen.  Ann has three new friends from St. Andrews: Sheryl, Beth, and Daylan that have already poured out so much love to her.  So beautiful when the church works together.  It was awesome to give Ann two blessing bags.  It’s so sad to see so many go through the abortion clinic when there is so much love waiting for them.  Again please continue to pray. .

As told by John Barros:

  Asking for prayer… I just got off the phone with a young lady named Ann.  Ann is a young Mom with two children; the oldest is two years old and the youngest is nine months.  She went to have an abortion today and has chosen life.  Ann found out today she is going to have twins… her husband is angry and abusive.   A dear lady from St. Andrews is going to give her a temporary place for her and her children.   And I have asked a couple of ladies from church to meet with us tomorrow morning…. please pray everything goes well and ends safely..
