Grace and Mercy are Mine

As told by John Barros:

You know some days you can just smell death down here. Thursdays are the most disgusting because it is much more visual. The late termers from yesterday returned and completed their abortions. So thankful to serve with Karen and Donna.

The only thing that was hopeful at all was a girl that came as a walk in. She left and took our information but she made no indication that she was choosing life.

Spent a lot of time in prayer here. Abortion has to end. It is such a horrible wickedness. If you haven’t been to an abortion mill, please go. You need to taste, smell, hear, and see this for yourself. I am going to be posting more videos to my YouTube channel GraceAndMercyAreMine in the near future. If you haven’t visited, then be my guest. Maybe they could help you in some way.

Pray for Softened Hearts

As told by John Barros:

So often the first one that comes in the morning is really struggling with what she is about to do.

Such was the case with Katey. She showed up before they were open and I asked her if I could pray with her. After prayer we began to talk and she poured out one of the worst story’s I have ever heard. I mean this young lady is living one of the most horrific lives I have ever heard of.

As I began to tell her to put her trust in God and not her circumstances I really had doubts that she would see God in her life. We went into God’s sovereign hand delivering her to this place not to have an abortion but to trust Him. After much conversation, she still went inside but didn’t last even a couple of minutes. She came out with a smile and Lucas gave her a ride to Choices where her help is beginning. Please pray for her and that God would deliver her from the beast she is married to.

There was another interesting story. A young couple came in matching Michael Jordan clothing. After the preaching the guy kept coming out. He ended up saying Shelly wasn’t going to do it.

When they finally pulled up the drive, they showed Karen and Yolie the ultrasound picture of the baby. It turns out Shelly was short in funds to kill a 20-week-old baby. He had the money but told her he wouldn’t give it to her because he didn’t want her to do it. They took the info and left. Please pray they make it to Choices and that God would turn her heart.

It was great to have Pastor H.P. come down and serve. He was also able to give Lucas some tips.

How Great is Our God

As told by John Barros:

Some guys go overboard trying to cover up their lack of manhood. We had them down here today.

The guy with all these trucks brought his lady down to have an abortion. He wouldn’t listen. Wouldn’t even roll his window down. They were a bunch of mockers telling me I should have been aborted, etc. She wasn’t quite so cocky when she was done.

So blessed to serve with Karen, Marcia, and Yolie. We were able to see three turnaways.

One was a guy that thought he was a Christian. He had it written all over the back window of his truck. Let’s just say he was highly angry that we were here. He was mouthing off like crazy while leading his lady in here. She was so happy to see him challenged. Well his back window was correct about how great God is because God gave his lady strength to stand against that guy and they left.

How great her God is. The guy knows a different one.

Another girl that said she was doing this today no matter what we say. Well she left too. So often it’s the loudest ones that God is working on.
Then there was a driver that was mouthing off all morning about her friend’s right to choose. Again telling us there is nothing we can say or do to change her friend’s mind. Well thankfully we know the One that can. She came out front sat in her car listening to the preaching. When it was over, she got her friend and got out of there.

Please pray for these ladies. Pray God continues to work in their lives and keeps them far from here.

Pray for the End of Abortion

As told by John Barros:

I don’t even know how to explain what’s going on around here. Day after day, week after week, month after month and you guessed it year after year, you minister here praying for it all to come down.

Lately, the people have been acting so suspicious. I keep hoping these “Pits” will be shut down. With all Pendergraft’s legal problems I keep thinking they have to go down. The last couple of days they have been moving more equipment into this place. Tables, beds, ultrasound machines, etc. Now they are repainting the place.

Today, Kerry, the guy that runs these places, threatened me with great bodily harm for taking a picture of them moving the stuff in.

When trying to speak to the painter about what was going on in here he said “I’m just doing my job.” Later he said his great grandfather would have “painted the ovens in Aushwitz.”

The Cuban abortionist that we still haven’t found out his name laughed at me.
So I went home and began searching to see if any of the places have had any changes in title. These guys are so slick that it would be next to impossible to know.

Then I happened upon an old trick of theirs. They are bringing back the “Free Abortions.” They are beginning in the Ft. Lauderdale office now. I asked Kerry how they can do these days and the coupons. He told me one time that Warren Buffet has a pool of money that pays for these kind of things. I don’t know how true that is but sure wouldn’t doubt it.

Just so you know how crazy this can be, the last time they did it here there were over 150 in one day. I doubt they would try it here now because of the crazy parking problems already but you never know. I need to let my dear sister Stacy know they are coming down to Ft. Lauderdale.

We had five turnaways today but have no idea if they chose life or not. We couldn’t get any to talk.

Please pray for this wickedness to end. Please pray specifically for this bloody empire to end.

Ministry and Fellowship

As told by John Barros:

Strange day down here. It was really slow. Five ladies came for abortions but three of them turned away. Unfortunately I don’t know their stories. One of them rolled down the window and said Thank You but they wouldn’t talk. Please pray they don’t return.

One mom brought her daughter down but would not listen. The other was a late termer on her second day. She was dropped off before 8:00 when it was 39 degrees. She was in bad shape. She went out back and just sat in the dirt. I tried to make a late plea to her but she would not listen. It was unbelievably pitiful.

I have spoken to so many women that suffer from what they have done. I cannot imagine what one of these ladies go through. People praying and pleading with them for two days and then going through this type of abortion where they deliver their babies into a toilet. I can’t imagine.

I was honored to serve with Donna and Karen. It was slow so we had some time to fellowship and pray together. It’s amazing how little we know each other. You probably see us serving together daily and think we really know each other but we don’t have the time. We try to stay focused on what is going on here and not talking about other things while serving. We must stay focused so not much time to fellowship. Well today we were able to catch up and encourage each other.

We also had a special lady come by. Dorothy is from St. Andrews and she stopped by to encourage us. So blessed to have her here.

When God Opens Eyes

As told by John Barros:

Well today The Lord sent several folks down to serve. So thankful to have a special treat. Not only was Pastor David here but Pastor Todd from Holy Trinity Anglican Church in Johnson City, Tennessee came down to join us. What a Dear Brother and Blessing he is. He spent a lot of time working with Lucas as well.

There were some crazy hard-hearted folks here. There was a guy that brought his daughter down here and said something I have never heard but imagine many are thinking. He said “Oh we are doing this. There is not going to be a ni@@ar in my family. His Dad is Black. Not happening.” I don’t know why I have never thought of it before but that baby was dying because of his skin color. There was a lot of that kind of thing today. I asked one young lady if she was leaving but she said “Oh no, I have one more sin to commit first.”

In the midst of all the craziness God drove a couple of ladies out of here. One couple came and we’re quite mouthy. The guy said “There is nothing you can say to change her mind” with a wicked smile. When I hear that I get pretty happy really because you wouldn’t believe how many people have said that and then God opens their eyes.

Well the same thing happened today. After the preaching, they came out. She had tears pouring down her face and he looked like a deer in the headlights. She couldn’t get out of there fast enough so she didn’t get to speak with Karen, Mary, or Yolie. Please pray for her.

There was another lady that the Lord delivered from here. She was quite well off and drove an Audi sports car. She became very convicted. She came out late in the day and was in turmoil. Yolie was sitting on the wall when “Mary” turned on her. She was accusing us of judging, etc., etc. Yolie handled it well never smirked back but was very loving. I remember Yolie telling Mary as she went back inside that we were here for her. Yolie left and Mary came back out with tears pouring down her face and said she wasn’t going to do it. Please pray for her. I believe she is in a very tough spot.

Irony and a Full Moon

As told by John Barros:

Today there was irony mixed with a full moon. What could go wrong?

So thankful to have Steven, Karen, Yolie, and Lucas filter in and out throughout the day. Marcia brought her precious sister Shannon down to serve while on her vacation from Hawaii.

Kind of slow here with eight coming. One young lady that I believe may be a Christian ran out of here with her boyfriend. She was really a mess. They wouldn’t stop so I really don’t know what they are doing.

There seemed to be more opposition from the street than usual. Every time there is a full moon things get that way. A guy started hollering from across the street during the preaching. He came running across the street and ramped up his screaming. It is so interesting to me that he had a Pulse Nightclub T-shirt on. He couldn’t see that killing babies inside here is the same or worse than the killing of the people at Pulse. The Lord shut him up and he sat across the street without saying any more.

49 dead at Pulse… Standing for the death of babies

Another lady brought her friend today for an abortion. She had a Bible on the dash of her car. She didn’t believe it was wrong because she was helping a friend. The lady she brought asked that we would pray for God to forgive her. It was just pretty bizarre.

Thank you all for praying.

God’s Amazing Goodness

As told by John Barros:

A young lady came with her mother today. The mom laid into Deanna saying there is nothing you can say to change our minds. During the preaching they came out. The mom seemed to have changed her mind and her daughter was screaming at me about what my words were doing to ladies inside. I explained they weren’t my words. Please pray God softens the daughter.

Then there was Samantha. She has a mental disability. She pulled in the drive and spoke for some time until a worker pulled up behind and laid on her horn.

They walked up and we spoke at length. She even wanted prayer. She still had her heart as hard as a rock and went inside.

Her driver came out and told Michael and I that Amanda had an abortion and it tears her up every day. We were able to go through the Gospel with her. She told us the workers at the assisted living place where Samantha lives had told her not to do this. She had been to Grace Pregnancy Center in DeLand but was still doing this.

During the preaching Amanda came out for a cigarette and Allura and Anne got to speak with her and pray with her.

During the preaching Samantha kept looking out the window. As I left for church she came out. So thankful that God touched the heart of a poor mentally challenged young lady. So thankful to see this picture that was sent as soon as I left.

Thank God for His Amazing Goodness this morning.

From Darkness to Light

As told by John Barros:

It’s so strange to go from an abortion mill to a Ligonier conference on the same day. To go from such Darkness to such Light. I really can’t even explain it.

At the mill it was not very busy. So thankful for Pastor Dan, Matt, Chuck and Mary, Beth, and Karen.

Three ladies left. A couple of things I never heard of happened. Two ladies came out and said that they wouldn’t give them an abortion because they couldn’t see their babies on an ultrasound. They were too early. I have never heard that before. I don’t know if they have quit doing pill abortions.

One of the ladies said “I won’t be having an abortion.” She says she will be keeping her baby. The other one said she was told to come back in a couple of weeks. She said she would have done it today but after hearing preaching and the ladies she doesn’t know what she is going to do. She began to get upset about the abortion she had four years ago. She was given the Gospel and she left. Please pray for these two as well as another that was a turnaway.

Funeral home taking a Precious Baby from here[/caption] There was a very sad sight here today as well. A man from a funeral home came to get a little baby. He said he came to pick up a baby that had passed away. I know the couple that came for their abortion. Winnie Palmer Hospital sent them over here after their baby died. It was so sad to see a baby being brought out in a little white box. So sad to think of all the others in the freezer that no one cares about.

Funeral home taking a Precious Baby from here

The Conference is so special. So many people from all over the place that are fighting abortion in so many different ways. So awesome to have the leader tell 5,000 folks to come to my table to see how they can get in the fight.

A wonderful man by the name of Roy Medley came over with a sign. He told me that three years ago he heard me speak about retired men adopting an abortion clinic. Roy went home, made a sign, and has been standing in front of an abortion mill everyday they are open in Ft. Meyers for the last three years…What an amazing man.

Roy is amazing.

No way to go into all that is going on here.

Sick of Abortion?

As told by John Barros:

I have to ask the question. Are you sick of abortion? Are you tired of watching nothing change year after year?

Boy today really got to me. Watching women stumbling all over the parking lot doing their Death March.

These ladies had a shot yesterday to try and stop their babies hearts. They had laminera sticks placed in their cervix and given drugs to begin labor. Now they are back to go through the Death March, walking till the precious baby is delivered into a toilet.

Please let’s rise up and bring legislation to end this. There are some groups that are working very hard at this. I am partial to the new one endabortionnow.com from Apologia Church but there are several. We need to win this.

Besides the wickedness I already alluded to here there was one precious young lady that came out during the preaching and chose life. Her boyfriend was absolutely furious. Please pray for her.

So thankful to serve with Karen, Donna, and Jim. Difficult day with the best of people.
