As told by John Barros:
If you saw Chelsea’s passionate plea to others when she came back to OWC where she had chosen life, this is part of an interview she did after she calmed down. I hope and pray this encourages others to go find more “Chelseas”. Trust me; you will enjoy this:
Yesterday 19-year-old Storm came down after having a miscarriage a few weeks ago. This is her fourth time back with complications from the treatment provided at Orlando Women’s Center. You can see the “care” a woman can expect here.
She is a sweet young lady who spent the day with us talking about life, death, and the gospel.
Never forget that 2,977 people were killed by terrorists on September 11, 2001… and more than 3,200 babies are killed by their own mothers every day in the United States.
As reported by John Barros:
It is really getting exciting down here at OWC. Today was a record low for people coming on a Wednesday. It was not unusual for 30+ to come on a Wednesday, and today there were only four. Please continue to pray; it is working!
Today Sarah, a new young lady, came for her first time. She is from a huge church in Orlando (Northland). In all my years she is the first one from there. She jumped right in and couldn’t believe her pastor didn’t believe in this type of ministry.
Hope came from the CFDFL and held a sign for a while and Nicole called out and was able to help a young lady named Storm. Storm was here for her fourth time. She didn’t have an abortion but was messed up by something they did to her. I’ll post her video later. She was so lovingly brought through the gospel and had a time of prayer.
Great day… Please keep praying; there’s no way this place can continue to stay open at this rate.
As reported by John Barros:
You just never know what a day will bring down at Orlando Women’s Center.
I haven’t seen Chelsea and Michael in about a year. She chose life and came back to show us Makeala and say “Thank you”. When she saw what was still happening here she was overcome and let loose in the middle of Isaac’s message.
When the abortionist Randal Whitney pulled up he started yelling at her for having a baby on the sidewalk. She ran down and told him, like only she can do, what he had done to her at 15. That is the first time I have ever seen that man silenced.
As reported by John Barros:
It is always such a blessing when Crisis Pregnancy Center counselors come by!
Today we were so blessed to have Laurey from First Life stop by with her brand new baby Caleb and her mother Nancy.
She dropped by to encourage and remind us what we are fighting for, and she also wanted to have Caleb begin fighting for lives. There aren’t words to explain how wonderful they are.
As reported by John Barros:
So much bad news out there these days. Even OWC was busy today but there was good news down here. Four ladies chose life today!
Pastor Norm Wilson came down first thing this morning with Chaplain Mike Dumas from Good News Jail And Prison Ministry. Pastor Norm was so moved by what he saw and experienced that he said he will be coming at least once a week.
Tiffany, Mary, Sarah and Bryan came staggered so everyone was covered all day. A Facebook friend, Beth, was driving down the street not knowing we were here and was able to stop for a while. It was beautiful to see God work!
As told by John Barros:
What an awesome day… Jasmine brought Victoria down to bless and help this morning. What a great way to start.
Then God showed off. There were nine ladies who came for abortions. Three chose life and there were two turnaways.
Felicia and her boyfriend Ricardo chose life and then went back in and started screaming at the workers in Spanish about killing babies.
Tenika came with her father; he came under heavy conviction and told her to get in the car. She wouldn’t so he left her there. About an hour later she came out crying and left.
Then Esther came and even though she has two kids and doesn’t know how she will do it, she chose life. They all went to CPCs.
Thank God he brought Amanda down to help. She is so strong and has such a huge heart.
God is really moving down here. All week there have been fewer people going through with abortions than workers here. Keep praying; they are getting extremely angry!.
As told by John Barros:
I knew it was going to be a great day when the Reformation Bible College girls returned after summer break. They began praying and jumped right back in calling out to ladies. Delaney and Bonnie are first year students and Abigail is a second year.
It was a long, hot day but Tasia finally came out and couldn’t go through with it. She took information and went to a CPC to get the help she needed. Then about 4:00 a young couple came and spoke with Warren and I. She changed her mind and her man led her out of there and they went to a CPC.
Had a bit of everything today even James Pendergraft himself came by for a few minutes. Keep praying because once again there were more workers than clients. I don’t know how long they can go on like this. Pray also for the couples who left. Thanks again…
[Update from Becky Rivera: “This couple came to First Life [crisis pregnancy center at First Baptist Church of Orlando]… please keep praying for them as they are still torn. Counselors spent a long time with them and they saw and heard their baby’s [sic] heartbeat but still are not solid on keeping the baby. Pray Pray Pray”]
As told by John Barros:
ProMed is the company OWC uses to remove the dead babies. They came Friday afternoon. The driver they had before came by to tell me he quit a couple of weeks ago. He hated us and threatened my life on many occasions, but he told me he couldn’t take it anymore and was haunted by what he saw and heard here.
Now it appears that they are trying a new method: they have a truck with two drivers and they don’t weigh the babies anymore. They just throw them in the back and hurry away.
Please pray that these men would come to the realization of what is going on here as well.
As told by John Barros:
Thank you all for praying so faithfully for the ministry down here.
A young couple came today. The guy had a sticker proclaiming that he was a Marine. He kept coming in and out while he was virtually coming apart at the seams. After several hours he came back up with Gabby’s purse crying. He took it inside, gave it to her and left her there. We thought at first that he wanted her to keep the baby but after talking to Gabby we found the opposite to be true: he left because she chose life. She called and her mother came to get her. Her mother was happy.
On most days now there are more workers here than clients. Today they would have received $2,000. With six workers and an abortionist I have no idea how long they can keep the doors open. Nobody went to his other clinic here today. Please keep praying; it is working!.
