Please pray for Sean and Marguerita. They have chosen life but don’t know where to go from here. She is getting a sonogram and is in good hands.

You 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..

John Barros and many of the saints who regularly minister at Orlando Women’s Center came down on June 14 to celebrate the temporary closing of the abortion mill.

  Had to say goodbye to Andy today… It was such a Blessing to serve with him. Darby and Beth came down to serve as well.  We had three ladies leave.  A Beautiful young Indian girl by the name of Marguerite chose life and went to a Crisis Pregnancy Center.  Then one of the strangest things I have ever seen happened. A young man that has brought multiple different women to OWC showed up with another one… Last time Beth and I saw him he came over and spit in my face three times.  He was laughing and joking and during my Preaching would actually say….” Isn’t this where you use Exodus 21 or aren’t you about to come to Galatians 6…….”  I could not believe he remembered my Sermon. God’s Word does not return void.  If he doesn’t repent these verses will be remembered against him.  He was much nicer this time but was still told what a coward, etc. that he is.  I won’t go into all the things but the girl he brought ended up deceiving him and chose life!   It was so awesome to hear him yell at her out back. Down here life is stranger than fiction.

Me and sweet Darby.

Jasmine is requesting prayer for her precious little Victoria… Victoria has come down with the mesa virus.  She is on high strength antibiotics because being premature she has no immune system and this virus could go to her brain.

Jasmine and sweet baby Victoria.

Please pray also that we can find the right place for them to live. One wonderful couple has pledged $300 a month for 6 months while they get on their feet. I know others of you that have wanted to give towards this and the Missions board at PEF is starting a fund for Jasmine and others that are in her position. That way it is out of my hands with full accountability. So please pray for Victoria to recover and that we can find the right place for them to live, and others that would be able to give..

What an honor and blessing it was to serve today with a dear Brother in the Lord, Andy.

Andy proclaiming the Gospel.

He travels all over the United States sharing the Gospel and thankfully he stopped here…. What an awesome Brother….

As reported by John Barros:

Please pray for a young lady, whose name I can’t remember.  She came down with her boyfriend and his Mother to have an abortion done.  She came during the preaching and was smart mouthed going in, but quickly became convicted about what she was doing.  She was sobbing, hyperventilating, and sat out in the street in misery.  After awhile she called her parents, telling them she couldn’t do it.  Her Father had bought her a car for having an abortion.  On the phone he was telling her that she is bringing shame on the family by not aborting her baby.  In the end she stood up to her parents and chose life!  Cindie and Joy were able to get a flyer to First Life in her hands and speak to the boyfriend’s Mom.  Literally minutes after the girl left her Father came down and parked in the back.  After a couple of hours he realized she wasn’t coming back and he left.  Pray that she stays strong and doesn’t let him bring her back tomorrow..

We have such an amazing God!

Jasmine gave birth yesterday morning at just 31 weeks.

By the grace of God John Barros, individual saints, and several crisis pregnancy centers helped support Jasmine through her pregnancy and welcome her baby to the world, a little earlier than we expected.

Grab a Kleenex and watch this sweet video about how the Lord has changed Jasmine’s life. She is “kangarooing” (skin-to-skin contact) her precious daughter in the NICU.

Paola, who works at OWC, came out this afternoon in the middle of the preaching after hearing the call to “come out”. She began mocking, saying “Here I am!” She had a handful of raffle tickets because  they have a raffle for $250 off your abortion on Thursdays.

No matter what they offered, God had “Friend Day”. Girlfriend, Boyfriend, and Husband all stood up and became real friends, encouraging and supporting their friend to choose life.

It’s so awesome to see God work in the hearts of friends together; simply beautiful. And I got to work with Amanda, Selah, and my hero nine-year-old Jonah today..

As reported by John Barros:

Oh what a precious day today was. Even though over 20 ladies came to kill their babies there were so many awesome stories.

Jerusha chose life and headed to a CPC

One young lady by the name of Jerusha came to kill her baby. She sat out on the porch filling out paperwork as the preaching was going on. She was getting very anxious when she jumped out of her seat, threw the clipboard on the ground, and went to her car in tears. Carolyn Frame went over and shared the hope there is in Jesus with her. She chose life and went to a CPC.

Shortly thereafter a young man was convicted of what they were doing and told his girlfriend “Let’s get out of here; we can do this.” He came out front, shook my hand, and thanked us all for being there.

Then there was a dramatic battle that went on in a young lady’s heart. She came out after the preaching in tears, making several phone calls and talking to the girl who brought her. Finally we saw that light go on when someone submits to Jesus’ work in their heart. I asked her if she was going to keep her baby and leave; she said YES and even waved and said “Thank you” to all of us as she went to her car. CHEERS went up from all the folks praying on the wall!

Tammy chose life five months ago.

It was simply amazing; God Loves showing off and He was Glorified down there today…

Then to top it all off God sent a precious eight-month pregnant lady by the name of Tammy down to thank me for preaching five months ago. She was what we call a “turn away”: someone who leaves but doesn’t tell you why so you can’t say they chose life. Tammy did choose life and she hung around trying to help. Mary Frame took her under her wing and just loved her.

It is amazing how two kingdoms collide down there. There is the kingdom of darkness where little babies are being brutally murdered and families are destroyed; and there is His precious kingdom of light where we fellowship with our Savior and little children, with little children playing Ring Around the Rosie less than a hundred feet away.

Bless the Lord O my soul. I couldn’t begin to thank those who came out to help throughout the day as well as all of you who pray daily..
