As told by John Barros:

There was so much ministry time today. I believe everyone is exhausted. The key lesson today is God’s sovereignty and timing.

My dear sister Saperna is unable to come like she used to, but she came by to bring a sandwich on her way to work. She is a rep for one of the top designers of women’s clothes in the world. As she was there a young lady named Francine came with her mother. Francine was also a design-sensitive girl and she likes clothes designed by some dude named Michael Kors. They hit it off great and after much talking and prayer she chose life and left with her mother to First Life!

Then a young lady named Samantha who had come all the way from Georgia with her boyfriend came out during the preaching. She went behind Dr. Collins’ office, sat on his air conditioner, and wept. She asked for prayer, chose life, and left.

Then there was a young lady named Melissa who chose life a while back for her baby. She was going to give the baby up for adoption but decided to keep her. The baby is still in Winnie Palmer Hospital and Melissa is requesting prayer because she is afraid of being a mom.

The Reformation Bible College kids were loving all over her and Samantha. There’s a chance Melissa will be coming to Saint Andrew’s this Sunday. God’s timing was so awesome. He had just the right people in place to minister to those who came. Please pray for all these folks.

As told by John Barros:

I have to tell you folks, some weeks it is just gut-wrenching down here. There are so many unbelievably sad stories this week.

I am so thankful that Dana Brenyo stopped by this afternoon just in time to cry and pray with a mother who has a daughter in a world of trouble and was trying to get her daughter out of the clinic.

Yesterday there was a young lady who wanted her child very much but the baby had no brain, spine, or genitals, so doctors told her to get an abortion at 23 weeks.

There have been many others as well.

There was a young man who took his lady Lavinia away, rejoicing that God had sent a “sign”. Donna was able to love on her a bit.

Then there was the “hero” who had been in the military and thought it was okay to bring his wife down here to kill their baby. They shouted that we were wasting our time because nothing we could say would change their minds. He was right nothing we said changed their minds, but God changed her mind and she fought her “hero” on the porch and left.

God works in all the pain and there has been a bunch this week. I can’t wait for the RBC kids tomorrow. Please keep praying!.

As told by John Barros:

Last week God gave us a deeper understanding of the power of prayer in ministry down here. Then on Friday God sent a group from the Orlando House of Prayer down to serve. Emily Sarmiento has been someone I have always wanted to meet. They marched all around the block praying against this place and prayed with us. Emily was also able to minister to Hope and her baby, who really need some hope.

The Reformation Bible College kids were awesome as usual. Andrew Gilhooley preached just like Jonathan Edwards would have.

Two ladies chose life. One was mocking saying she was an atheist who didn’t believe in God and that we were wasting our time speaking to her. God saw fit to change her heart, cause her and her boyfriend to fight, and then leave.

Please continue to lift this place up in prayer!.

As told by John Barros:

Today was exceedingly wonderful at OWC. I have never seen this happen in all my years here: they were open for abortions today, but nobody came for one!

It was so awesome to have Randal Whitney pull in honking, waving, and mocking only to see an empty parking lot in the back.

The only excitement was another detective bringing more papers.

I always get messages from people saying they are praying for the ministry down here, and I know there are many praying I will never meet. Please intensify your efforts and let’s get this place shut down!.

As told by John Barros:

I don’t know if OWC is in denial or if I am.

Sunday they emptied a Pod of nice furniture into the place.

Monday they had nine workers there with cleaners. Only three woman had abortions.

I keep wondering how long they can go on like this. An investigator came and took a little baby away. One of the workers told me they were cleaning and fixing up the basement.

Please continue to pray. I really don’t see how they can possibly keep this going with business down so much.

As told by John Barros:

What a wonderful day down here. Five ladies came down to OWC and three left.

One was a mother who brought her young daughter. When confronted with the record of this place and what kind of a mother could she possibly be bringing her daughter here she left. They wouldn’t talk so we pray she doesn’t just change locations.

Then Julia and her boyfriend chose life.

Then Jane came down and had a young man bring her. When he was first confronted with what God’s word says about this he got angry and said that’s your beliefs not ours, etc. Then God worked on his heart and he came back to say he was going to try and talk her out of it. A while later they came out with those wonderful tears of joy. She said “Whatever you said really got to him.” She hit it off so unbelievably well with Ruth. She lives by Saint Andrew’s and is going to come with Ruth this Sunday morning. Ruth is a huge heart with feet and folks can’t help but be drawn to her. She left to go to Choices.

That left seven employees for two abortions. Please keep praying!.

As told by John Barros:

I have such a heart filled with thanksgiving today. God sent Ruth Day down to help. She is a new member of Saint Andrew’s Chapel and has been wanting to come down and minister. Boy did she ever!

She was a big part in God turning a young lady’s heart to choose life. She counseled with clinic workers, drove a homeless lady to the rescue mission, and had another couple follow her to First Life. She is such an amazing lady. She is from Boston and worked in a CPC there. What an answer to prayer she is!.

As told by John Barros:

I so look forward to Fridays. Beth Goble and the kids from Reformation Bible College come down. It used to be for training, but now I learn more from them than they could ever learn from me. Words cannot describe what they mean to me and the love I have for them.

Today a young lady was overcome with conviction and chose life. Thankfully she had a man that backed her up thanked us and said “We can do this”. Then a young couple came and spoke with Sarah Woodroof and Isaac at length and had to literally run to First Life before they closed to get their ultrasound.

It was a good but crazy day. The enemy hates that we preach and sing hymns down here so he sent a man to park out front to blare his stereo to try and stop people from hearing. It didn’t work..
