As told by John Barros:

Today was very difficult. It was pretty busy and the people were very hardened. We were very disappointed because a young lady that had left yesterday returned. She was with a loser that would not be any help to her. When they arrived they didn’t even look like the same people that were here yesterday and when they were done they looked like death. It was awful.

Another lady, Maria, came. She took the info and left immediately and went to Choices. We couldn’t believe it when she returned. She tried to say she was here for birth control. Then she told us they wanted her to return on Wednesday: that is late-term day. Please pray she doesn’t return. She didn’t do everything she was supposed to at Choices. Please pray she returns there.

It never ceases to amaze me how people come here daily saying God has already forgiven them. They have no fear of God in their hearts. Well the same was going on here today again.

Then a couple of Muslims showed up. As they were going inside I said “Young lady, abortion is the worst sin in Islam, punishable by death.” One of them tried to back out the front door but her friend put her hands on her shoulder and pulled her inside. I began to preach and about half way through they came out and sat in their car talking.

Finally they pulled out and left. So I still have not seen a true practicing Muslim go through with an abortion. Muslims fear God and His Word more than our “cultural” Christians. Thanks for your prayers and please continue.

So Thankful for Yolie, Karen, and Marcia.

Finished my day doing my radio show with Chris. So awesome to tell folks what Jesus is doing and got to share the 180 movie. Chris has been such a dear brother. I love that guy.

As told by John Barros:

They sacrificed their sons and their daughters to the demons.
Psalm 106:37

I want to thank those of you that prayed this morning. The Lord heard you and Jesus shined His light into a few hearts.

I stood next to the window of that first car this morning for what seemed like eternity. They never rolled the window down but thankfully they drove off and never returned. Seven folks came and thank God three left.
It was really crazy though. The same demonic forces that seemed to be there on Friday were back. A guy sat in his truck behind me screaming and screeching out curses to God and to me the whole 45 minutes I preached. It was almost like he never even took a breath. The things he said about each person of the Trinity were the most blasphemous things I have ever heard. It was really hard to preach with all this going on and would have been worse for me but my friend Anne showed up and kept an eye on him.

Half way through the preaching a precious young lady came out the door and straight up the walk and asked me to pray for her. She said she didn’t want to kill her baby. She said she hated her boyfriend and he was pressuring her. He had been saying he was the one that didn’t want it done. She went back inside but right after the preaching was done she came out with a huge smile and did that two-finger salute across her chest. It was pretty exciting.

Then right away another couple that I spoke with when they arrived came out and said they weren’t going to do it. Ann went down back and when she came back up she said they had chosen life.

The gates of hell

The demoniac across the street was going crazy through this. He couldn’t believe people were leaving. He was truly out of his mind. Thank you all for praying, please continue to.

Why do the heathens rage, and the people imagine a vain thing?
The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the Lord, and against his anointed, saying,
Let us break their bands asunder, and cast away their cords from us.
He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh: the Lord shall have them in derision. – Psalm 2:1-5

As told by John Barros:

Well the heathens were raging down here again today. They attacked God and those He sent. These folks were unbelievable. During the preaching you could hear them hollering and screaming inside so loud Karen could hear them down the street. One lady that brought her daughter bragged about having ten abortions and then has been mad at God for “taking” her two other kids in a car accident. Now she was here to kill her grand baby. The folks here you see in such anger are threatening Karen and Yolie for offering to help.

She was so proud of her daughter’s raging

Out of all this darkness the Lord shined a Beautiful light. “Mary” pulled in this morning with a young lady named “Carrie.” Beth offered them the ministry packets we offer and listened. They pulled out back and sat in their car. Mary had a John 3:16 sticker on her car. She rolled her window down and listened to everything Beth and I had to say. We really pursue people that may be Christians. They sat in their car for what seemed like eternity. They started up the car and pulled up. Beth ran over and was able to speak with them. They chose life and went to Choices.

Beth praying with Mary and Carrie

We went on ministering to folks and then I received a text. They had chosen life and then let everyone know that 20 some years ago her daughter “Susan” found herself pregnant and wanted an abortion. Mary had actually taken Susan to Choices back then. Susan chose life and Carrie was born. Susan died though when Carrie was one year old. Mary had raised her and now Carrie pregnant at the same age her mother was here to have an abortion. Mary took her granddaughter to Choices 20 some years later to save her great grandbaby. Can you believe this? God is amazing. Please continue to pray for them. Carrie has an appointment to see a doctor next week.

Vicky brought her new Nurse Manager down from Choices to show her what it’s like down here. It’s always a blessing to see them.

So very blessed to have Vicky and Stacy come down. It means so much.

As told by John Barros:

Well a “cold front” moved in to Orlando. There were some heavy winds that blew last night and I think they blew every hard-hearted person in Florida down here.

The place was packed today and the folks were pretty darn nasty. One of them stole my sign off of my van and they of course called the police.
It was a blessing to have the police come down. They immediately let the people inside know we were within our rights to be here. Then one of them, a seventeen-year veteran, asked me why I come down here. He was new to this precinct. It was amazing. I filled him in on their record and what goes on here. Told him how God had called me here and what He does here. We went over what people think are “exceptions” and talked for a very long time about other things. When he began to leave he said “John, you better do whatever you do to get them out of here because it is packed in there.”

Double trouble… Just kidding, they were wonderful.

There was a young lady that came out. Juliem has two children. She has been in a relationship with a guy for three months and is pregnant. She wants to kill her baby because her baby will get in the way of her “priorities.” Something went wrong with her ultrasound so she came out to talk. We told her about what God thinks of this and the wickedness of this place. She said she is going to consider what we said and go to Choices. Please pray she does and that this boyfriend would man up as he was challenged to do.

The guy that was deceptive and called the police on us and I believe stole my sign was very angry that we were there. He kind of lashed out at Karen. But then the thing that seems to happen so often here happened again. His lady backed out of her abortion. He said “Thank you” and said he was going to call me. Please pray that happens.

Then a very wicked woman pulled in. She brought her daughter and her two-year-old granddaughter was in the back seat. Karen handed her daughter our brochures. The Mom yelled out “Oh no. This baby is dying today no matter what!!” When these kind of words come out of people’s mouths it just socks the air right out of your lungs. You always get people here angry and spewing out cursing, calling names etc. But these words are a whole different awfulness.

Well once again God moved in that situation. The daughter fought going inside. Her mom was hollering more wickedness at me as she was pulling out. The daughter walked inside and turned around immediately. She walked back out and went out back. After sitting there for a while her mom pulled back in and picked her up not saying a word. Please pray that daughter stands firm against her mom and that the Lord would turn that mom’s heart to love her grandbaby.

The Lord blessed me in that afternoon. A young man, Owen, stopped by. I told him where he parked he would get a ticket. He said “That’s ok I work for the City. Are you John?” I said yes I am. He said the Lord has touched his heart to do this ministry and wanted to know if I could give him some training. We are for sure going to work that out. It was just so refreshing to see a smile on the face of a young man that loves God and wants to serve his neighbors.

Owen is awesome!!

Please continue to pray that this Evil is stopped in our country.

As told by John Barros:

So blessed to have so many come to serve today. Matt, Bill, Karen, Yolie, Pastor David, Lucas, and I were once again blessed to have Pastor John from Canada serve with us. He will be heading back home.

We also had a very special lady join us. I met Mary in the airport in Phoenix. She is a commercial airline pilot. We spent a long time waiting for the plane. She had no idea about this type of ministry and said she was going to come down. So many people say that and don’t come but she surprised me when I saw her walking down the sidewalk.

She was a trooper. She was horrified with what goes on here and really shaken up. She tried to reach out and was absolutely shocked at how blind these people are.

Mary very soon realized if God didn’t open blind eyes, babies would die. She sought Him.

It truly is a crazy blindness. We had a girl come back today that had been butchered here about a week and a half ago. She could barely walk and was bent over in agony. Her guy was having to hold her up. She went inside and told the clinic that she had gone to the hospital but would not see her. They told her to come back here.

Drivers of patients came out sickened by all this. They tried to get the people they drove here to leave but they wouldn’t. It was pretty crazy.
There was one turnaway but she wouldn’t stop to talk so we don’t really know her story.

Please continue to pray. Pray for Mary. She has a huge heart that I’m sure is hurting tonight. Her flight schedule will only allow her to be here one day every two weeks.

Pray also for Lucas. He is on a bus tonight heading to New Orleans to evangelize at the NBA All Star game over this weekend with Bill Adams of Sports Fans Outreach.

As told by John Barros:

So blessed to have a wonderful team. Warren has been filling in for me the last couple of days while I’m with Apologia Church over here in Phoenix.

Today Beth and Karen met a lady whose doctor sent her to have an abortion because of her health problems. They spoke with her and she agreed to go with Karen to First Life because they have a doctor on staff now. They met with her, she chose life, and is now set to meet with the high-risk pregnancy doctors.

Yolie met another lady that came back for her check up. She had an abortion two weeks ago and is devastated over what she has done. Of course Mister Wonderful left her immediately after her abortion. Yolie shared the Gospel with her, she repented, and will be at St. Andrew’s Sunday.

Please pray for these ladies.

As told by John Barros:

Well it was late-term day down here. Quite a few came but the Lord turned the heart of three of them. Please pray for Alexis and one young lady Mary forgot to get the name of. Please also pray for a precious young lady, Arelia. Karen took her to Choices and out for lunch. She wanted to come back to the clinic to say Thank you and show the pictures of her baby.

Please pray for Arelia. So Sweet

Please pray for the other two turnaways as well. So Thankful for Karen, Chuck, Mary, Jerri, Audrey, Pastor David, and Pastor John. They all served at different times here today.

As told by John Barros:

And when he had consulted with the people, he appointed singers unto the Lord, that they should praise the beauty of holiness, as they went out before the army, and to say, “Praise the Lord; for his mercy endureth for ever.” And when they began to sing and to praise, the Lord set ambushes against the men of Ammon and Moab and Mount Seir who were invading Judah, and they were defeated. – 2 Chronicles 20:21

In our church, upon entering, we have an area in the back that is dark. It is called the Narthex. It is a place where you leave the profane and enter the Holy. Once inside the Holy we are built up through Praise, the Sacraments, and the Word to return to the profane.

Today, Jessica from Reformation Bible College, came down to the profanest of places to serve and sing to the Holy One. It was so Powerful. She is a special young lady.

Marcia, Karen, Audrey, and I had a special visitor come serve with us. Pastor John Sawkins from London Ontario is here on vacation and came to serve. He is truly a Blessing. He jumped right in and got to work. He isn’t just a Pastor. He is also the chaplain for a hockey team: The Windsor Spitfire.

Well today was busy. It seemed like it was Mother-Daughter day. We had three Moms bringing their daughters. One came up telling us she was a Christian and was forgiven already. She was challenged on that and sure showed us that wasn’t true. We really couldn’t believe it when she was out front showing someone else that was here a picture of her Grandson whose birthday was today. She couldn’t see the insanity of killing her Grandson on her other grandson’s birthday.

Another lady brought her daughter and got very angry when confronted. Her daughter ended up coming outside and standing firm against her mom. When they pulled up Karen asked if she could pray for them. The mom said “I don’t need your prayers. I am an Evangelist. I know how to pray” We had another turn away as well so please pray for these two ladies. That they get the help they need.

It was so busy in another way as well today. They were holding job interviews. I can’t believe they would have people come here for that. They only advertise for the job; they don’t tell them this is an abortion clinic.

The folks coming here were shocked and won’t be working here. I believe most left without even going inside. Please pray that the ladies who trusted God and left would be blessed with a job.

As told by John Barros:

My favorite time in the week is coming to St. Andrew’s an hour or hour and a half early on Sunday evenings. It is so awesome to spend time alone with God inside this house of prayer.

Well today has been a little bit different. While sitting here I received pictures and a Thank You.

Last June 23rd my brother Bruce Barros came to the clinic with me and we got to serve together. A young lady Gabrielle came down to have an abortion. The Lord moved on her heart and she chose life. She went to Choices and Callie took her under her wing. She ended up having her ultrasound and saw she was having twins. She called me from Choices and was ecstatic as to how the Lord did not let her go.

Well she fell off the radar. I never heard anything even though she was offered so much. Well, I came to find out she has moved to New Mexico.
She is so filled with praise and thanksgiving to her God. It’s truly amazing.

Please pray for Gabrielle. She is tired. She has a six-year-old boy, a three-year-old girl and now Bayley Marie, and Kayla Victoria have come into this world.

I know this is Super Bowl Sunday and everyone is busy but won’t you praise God for His mighty work in this family’s life and pray for His precious Gabrielle.
