'Our lives begin to end, the day we become silent on things that really matter"

 Feburary 3rd     We no sooner saw the smoke clear with the arrest of abortionist Kermit Gosnell in the three story slaughterhouse in Philadelphia, and are still in dismay at the lack of outrage from the feminist majority who refer to abortion as healthcare and abortion providers as heroes, even if they kill women while doing abortions. Today Live Action and Lila Rose released another undercover video of corruption being footed by our tax dollars: "Planned Parenthood Caught Aiding, Abetting Sex Trafficking of Minors" New undercover footage shows a Planned Parenthood clinic manager conspiring with a "pimp" to secretly secure STDs testing and abortion services for his prostitutes as young as 14 years old, despite their age or enslavement. The manager even informs the man posing as a pimp how to get around judicial bypass laws protecting minors.
            Forget about if you are pro-choice or pro-life. This is about underage minors being abused and exploited by those entrusted to their welfare. Where is the outrage from N.O.W and other women's groups? Child advocates? Congress gives Planned Parenthood over $350 million a year through Title X funds. Unbelievable! They tell us to mind our own business when it comes to abortion and yet they reach in our wallets to pay for that business. Planned Parenthood is not only targeting Black Americans for abortion, but they are willing to cover up the prostitution enslavement of young girls as long as they are making money in doing so. 
              What is so troublesome is the silence coming from those professing to be the voice of women ensuring their rights and freedoms. The degradation and oppression of women was what gave early feminists their marching orders. Yet this footage reinforces the horror of the logic of Planned Parenthood’s founding; it has come to roost in its modern form. Enough is enough! Our taxes should not be funding the corrupt agenda of Planned Parenthood or any abortion clinic that could really care less about the safety and welfare of young girls and their bogus claims of protecting women.

"What Choice Is This?"

Sunday, January 30th  Glory To God! as we set out early on our speaking engagement at Calvary Baptist Church. The large congregation met and greeted us and helped us quickly set up. We opened up in praise and worship. Pastor then graciously introduced us and turned the pulpit over to our ministry. We spoke on our early beginnings and how God spoke to our hearts and we embedded our mission outside the Midwest’s largest, late-term abortion mill we called the "gates of hell." We spoke on pioneering the ultrasound movement outside abortion facilities and how God has been blessing us with much fruit and adoptions of saved babies; how the death toll has declined tremendously inside this slaughterhouse in the past two years, and about the conversions of several former employees and clients.
Daniel spoke on scriptures that gave us our marching orders, and how the Church of Jesus Christ can win this battle if they would only show up to fight the battle. “The presence of God's people outside the abortion mill does save lives,” we shared. “Not screaming at them but being Jesus to them.”
  We wrapped up our talk by giving a charge to the congregation. Emblazed on the walls of the church’s sanctuary were the blonde wooden words: Go Ye Into The World. “That's exactly what the Lord wants His people to do. We are losing our kids to all kinds of immorality and filth. Marriages are ending up in divorce and unborn babies are sacrificed to the god of convenience. The world is telling the Church to, ‘Shut up and sit down!’ We can no longer be silent. We are to fight for what is right and take dominion until the Lord returns.”
            After a standing ovation, we returned to our seats. A little boy, no more than 7 years old, tapped me on the back and I turned to him. With a head full of red hair he said in a small voice, “I want to thank you ma’am.” I smiled and returned my eyes to the front. Pastor came up and preached on, “What Choice is This?” He held pictures of the newest babies in our family up for all to see and proclaimed, “This is what hope looks like.” He complimented our 18 years of dedicated passion for the unborn and their mothers. He went into our topsy-turvy world…how right is wrong and wrong is considered right. He talked about the recent expose of abortionist Kermit Gosnell: the back alley butcher shop he was running containing jars full of decomposing babies and wherein occurred the deaths of two of their mothers. “This is choice?”            
               Pastor spoke on traveling up to Hope Clinic regularly and what he sees including the saves that take place because good people make the sacrifice and come out of their comfort to try and save lives; how it’s making a difference; how we need to be living for God and not for ourselves. He then thanked us for our vital ministry and encouraged the flock to take up a love offering from their hearts to help us continue fighting for babies’ lives and their mothers. They did just that. We bowed our heads and prayed over the offering the church blessed us with. Service ended with a prayer and song. We stood in a receiving line, shook many hands, and received numerous, “Thank you’s,” and encouragement. Many had never heard of a ministry like ours and were touched. Praise God! 2 Corinthians 4:1 "Therefore, since through God's mercy we have this ministry, we do not lose heart." Go Ye!

"Go into all the world and preach the good news..."

Sunday, January 23rd  This was Sanctity of Life Sunday. Part of our ministry went one way and the other half went the other way on this snowy, cold day. We were God's messengers to preach the Good News to the world. We were asked to speak on behalf of life and our ministry to two different churches this day.
            We prayed for guidance, wisdom, and to touch the hearts of all those in attendance at both churches. Threatening weather was in the forecast, but people still turned out, praise the Lord. Both pastors were very gracious in their introductions of our daily ministry and work in the streets of the City of Slaughter. Once in the pulpit, we “gave 'em heaven!” Daniel brought a lot of scripture in his opening remarks and then went into our work with the ultrasound van outside the Midwest’s largest late-term abortion mill. Angela gave her testimony and how the Lord was using her to do God's work; how this vital ministry began over 18 years ago from their home; how she volunteered at the local crisis pregnancy center; how they were not helping abortion-bound mothers. “Abortion minded women are not walking into pregnancy centers. They’re going into abortion mills. Jesus didn’t sit and wait for the lost to come to Him. He went out into the streets to meet them where they were at.”
Sitting in offices collecting money is not stopping abortion or saving babies; it’s building a financial ministry. Let's face it: there are a lot of “cash cows” in the pro-life arena. Go to Guidestar 990 and check out some of the tax forms of these pregnancy centers, if they are not buried under another name i.e.: Metro-East Crisis Pregnancy Centers. It's unbelievable the income they pay themselves and how they discriminate against pregnant girls. Hope Clinic is eager to help these discouraged and frustrated pregnant girls. That's what got our ministry onto the streets. There was a need in Granite City and it was not being met. We actually were catching pregnant girls being instructed to come to Hope Clinic from these cash cow centers. When a pregnancy center accepts government money they are required to inform them of their option of abortion and where the abortion mills are located. Unbelievable! That is why we have made so many enemies on both sides of the movement. When you stand for righteousness, you will be attacked, slandered, and persecuted.  
We spoke on the stats and babies saved through our vital ultrasound van where we are a window to the womb as well as on the conversions of many former employees and clients. We shared the beautiful testimonies of our recent saved and adopted babies in our large family and how they are a blessing to all. “When you do the talk, you have to do the walk. Our ministry has also helped other couples adopt over 39 saved babies from this abortion mill,” (applause). We shared how God continues to move through this ministry and all the victories we have won in the courts. We also informed about the underbelly of abortion: how this is the most unregulated and lucrative industry in our nation; how the world is telling the church to, “Shut up and sit down;” how we need to run to the battle and make a difference in the lives of others and our nation. What works in saving babies and touching mother's hearts is being Jesus to them, not screaming Jesus at them.
We both brought several picture boards displaying the “fruits of our labors” and saved babies from this deathcamp. Many in the audience were touched and weeping; hands went up to ask questions, even the pastors! We tried answering them all. One pastor exclaimed at the conclusion of our talk, “We really needed to get this all on audio tape. It was powerful.” Both churches took up a love offering for our ministry. We were very grateful. They were very generous to our mission. At both churches we had a long receiving line as good seed was sown and many were encouraged. Many agreed with us on the pregnancy centers’ “red flags” that we mentioned and had no idea of our work until now. They wanted to congratulate us and express their thanks. We are the pioneers and, “Only the pioneers get the arrows,” (laughter). We prayed for our pastors and shepherds to lead us into the battle and not wait for those once-a-year sermons. The sanctity of life must be heard everyday to turn from a culture of death into a culture of LIFE. As Pastor Flip says, “Abortion will come to an end in America when the Church of Jesus Christ says it will come to an end and not one second sooner.”

"Hello Sunshine..."

Wednesday, January 26th   We were on our way to another speaking engagement and presentation in our Special Forces van. It was not too long of a drive into the night, and suddenly we were there. We parked the ultrasound van up close by the entrance doors so all attending could view. Once inside, the room was almost full. We glanced around the corner and there was the master of ceremonies. He greeted us as we walked into the room with, “Hello Sunshine,” and gave us a big hug. The other gentlemen showed us our seats and offered to take our wraps. We gingerly placed the ultrasound machine upon a large table for all to view along with our literature and brochures on our ministry.
After a few other organizations spoke, it was our turn. We were introduced and talked a little on our ministry, the importance of having the ultrasound to be a window to the womb  outside this infamous abortion mill, and how many babies have been saved through its use. We shared how many saves we had the night before at midnight abortions, and the prospect of doing a live ultrasound for everyone who supported this endeavor to witness this very evening. We didn’t know it until after we spoke to the audience that she was waiting outside the doors so as not to interrupt our meeting.
As we were ending and greeting people, she, her mother, and her young daughter came inside to our delight. We quickly introduced them and invited everyone to come outside to the ultrasound van and witness a saved baby through our ministry. We knew something this crowd didn't know; this was the young lady we were able to talk out of abortion and into bringing her “TWINS” into the world the night before! They were so surprised and stood out in the freezing temperatures to take turns entering our van while performing a live ultrasound. They were impressed with the van. Many of the men came up afterwards and thanked us for our devotion and commented on how much they enjoy our letters and reports from the frontlines.
After the speech, we were presented with a generous donation and a round of applause. We were so humbled. We thanked all those who stepped up to the plate on a cold January night and made it possible for us to continue being a voice in the wilderness and a window to the womb as the last line of defense for little babies that are being led to their slaughter in Granite City. As we walked the mother and pregnant daughter to the door, the mother whispered in my ear, “I want you to know something...when I found out she was going to the abortion clinic, I told her I didn't agree with her decision, but that it was her choosing.” I thanked her for sharing that bit with me, but I told her, “She has a tender heart. I'm glad she listened to us and came inside the van; that we were able to show her those innocent babies growing inside her and share our baby Isaac's testimony. God is still in control; those babies are a blessing.” Her mother replied, “And so are you.” With that we hugged them and thanked them for coming.
            How blessed is he who cares for the helpless.” Psalms 41:1

Pro-Life Rally Marks Roe v. Wade Anniversary « CBS St. Louis

Saturday, January 22, 2011---38th Disdainment of Roe vs Wade
Pro-Life Rally Marks Roe v. Wade Anniversary « CBS St. Louis
            What an AWESOME day to serve the Lord and stand for LIFE! Pastor Todd Griener, leader of Church Without Walls, along with several other pastors from southern Illinois and Lawrenceville, Indiana led the charge as we set up our pregnancy outreach to the abortion-minded mothers. And the weather was merciful on the pilgrims in the gap this beautiful day! Yes, it was still cold, but without howling winds and frigid temps : ). Channel 5 and KMOX were on their way to cover our pro-life rally on the 38th anniversary and disdainment of Roe vs Wade. There were a few deathscorts led by gay activist Jeff Farris. However, when they became intimidated by the swell of proclaimers surrounding the perimeters of this slaughterhouse, they sent for reinforcements from across the river at St. Louis “Planned Barrenhood.” These kids looked like they were 15 or 16 years old. The abortion and homosexual industries are indoctrinating kids at an earlier age.
            Praise and worship broke out on the sidewalks. It was very convicting to the abortion-minded clients and their accomplices. Some of the cars were from yesterday; these were late-term babies being dismembered. “Mandy” came over. She was a save from this past summer. We helped load baby supplies and a brand new bassinet into her car. She is due this week with a baby boy.
Pastor Todd spoke to the group on abortion and the importance of the Church standing for life. A Jericho March ensued around this abortion mill as the deathscorts looked on. Daniel spoke to two young girls from Illinois who came back out. They confirmed they were 7 weeks pregnant and keeping their baby. They accepted our literature as they drove off. The reporters took pictures and interviewed as the prayer warriors sang God's praises in the background.
Two black American girls from Missouri came back out, and we met them in the alley. They rolled their window down and accepted our literature as they confirmed they were 5 weeks pregnant and keeping their baby. I asked them what changed their mind on the abortion. Marissa, the driver, smiled and said, “I knew it was wrong. I got convicted.” I asked, “After you saw all the people out here?” “Yes ma’am,” she replied. I prayed with her and thanked her, and she thanked us for our help and being there.
We then gathered and gave a charge to the imported foot soldiers. Pastor Todd introduced us and our ministry as there were new faces in this large group. We updated them on the daily operations, the death toll remaining at an all-time low (praise God!), and the fruits of our labors. We encouraged them with what the saves are reporting to our ministry team as effective in saving their babies: not only technology, but a peaceful, prayerful presence outside this abortion mill, “pricks their conscience.”
Pastor Todd then led the brigade over onto the main thoroughfare to stand for life and remind the apathetic townspeople and the churches of the abomination that lies undisturbed in their midst. Well, except from the daily prickings from our relentless ministry : ). Praise God! Loretta remained behind on the sidewalk and sang God's praises with her powerful voice to the check-ups and deathscorts remaining. Sidewalk counselors Judy and Nancy confirmed another save in the alley as they were pulling out. Praise God! 
  Breakthrough: we had two local pastors join our forces today on the main thoroughfare and outside this abortion mill. They were so impressed with the mission outside these gates of hell. And thank you to all of the foot soldiers who traveled to stand in the gap. Galatians 6:9 “Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.”   I almost forgot...we received a generous drive-by donation from a man who is following our ministry outside these gates. He gave us words of encouragement and thanked us for our presence. Alleluia! But the biggest blessing was no troublemakers, no screamers, or schemers. There was PEACE on the sidewalks surrounding this slaughterhouse. Amen!

Abortionist Charged in Grisly Murders

January 19, 2011
             This little “House of Horrors” can be added to the list of substandard slaughterhouses. Real medical professionals know that abortion is not healthcare. Rather, it is considered the “red-light district” in medical care. “Back alley” abortions and those who perform them have not gone away with the legalization of abortion through the infamous Roe vs Wade decision almost 38 years ago. It just costs more and the abortionist comes through the front door. Unsafe, common, and unregulated…
Roe vs Wade was built on lies and survives with lies and emasculated state officials who look the other way. The “back alley” abortion cover-up will continue to claim more women’s lives by the silence of those who profess to be their voice and are entrusted with their reproductive health care. Abortion has never really come back out of the alley. This is just one more serial butcher that got caught. How many more are out there?    ~Angela

Philly Abortion Doctor Charged in Grisly Murders
FOX News
Jan 19, 2011 3:10 PM EST
       An abortion doctor who catered to minorities, immigrants and poor women was charged with eight counts of murder in the deaths of a patient and seven babies who were born alive and then killed with scissors, prosecutors said Wednesday.
       Dr. Kermit Gosnell, 69, made millions of dollars over 30 years, performing as many illegal, late-term abortions as he could, prosecutors said. State regulators ignored complaints about him and failed to visit or inspect his clinic since 1993, but no charges were warranted against them, District Attorney Seth Williams said.
       Gosnell "induced labor, forced the live birth of viable babies in the sixth, seventh, eighth month of pregnancy and then killed those babies by cutting into the back of the neck with scissors and severing their spinal cord," Williams said.
       Williams said patients were subjected to squalid and barbaric conditions at Gosnell's Women's Medical Society.
       Authorities went to investigate drug-related complaints at the clinic last year and stumbled on what Williams called a "house of horrors."
       "There were bags and bottles holding aborted fetuses were scattered throughout the building," Williams said. "There were jars, lining shelves, with severed feet that he kept for no medical purpose."
The clinic was shut down and Gosnell's medical license was suspended after the raid.
       Workers, some of whom were also charged with murder, were untrained and unlicensed, including a high-school student who performed anesthesia with potentially lethal narcotics, Williams said.
       Gosnell and nine other employees are in custody, authorities said.
       Gosnell has been named in at least 10 malpractice suits, including one over the death of a woman who died of sepsis and a perforated uterus.

"You guys are our heroes..." "It is surmounting difficulties that make heroes"

January 18 in the year of our Lord 2011
            If there was a picture of “depression” in a Funk & Wagnall, a picture of today, outside the abortion mill in the City of Slaughter would best describe it. It was “raw” with the dismal weather conditions. Our main goals were trying to save babies scheduled to be slaughtered this evening and to stay warm. We quickly set up our pregnancy outreach and noticed the extended van parked on the abortion mill’s lot and emblazed on the side with “Tomorrows Builders Youth Build Program” was sponsored by the St. Clair County Intergovernmental Grants Department. There you go; another pork- funded project with St. Clair County grant monies in action. Oh and our taxes are not paying for abortions. Right? As the messenger, we put the call out. Surprisingly, within an hour or so, they returned our call. The woman on the other line told us, “We get money from all over. We get grants. You all can just mind your own damn business.” Click! And you wonder why our economy is in such despair.
            We kept praying and engaging with the abortion-bound mothers and their accomplices pulling onto the lot. One male came out and told us that he, “Tried talking her out.” He wished the walls would come down on this place. He took our literature including information on “Black-Genocide.” The passenger came out and we tried talking with her; she was huge. It would take several days to kill her baby. She was cold hearted and had her mind made up. They sat in the SUV and smoked before they walked back in. God was still in control. We offered more prayers.
            Then, a white pickup truck stopped in the middle of the main street in front of Hope slaughterhouse containing an older male driver and a young girl. They spoke to Daniel. The male was tearing up, “Hey, are you the guys that are out here everyday with the ultrasound van?” “Yes,” Daniel replied. “Hey, I want to thank you from the bottom of our hearts. You guys are our heroes,” he said. The young girl then proceeded to share her story, “When I was 12 years old I got pregnant. Everyone around me was pressuring me to have an abortion, but I didn't listen to them. I gave my baby up for adoption.” Praise God! Daniel told her, “You did the right thing. The most loving thing a mother can do is to give life to her baby and place that precious one in the loving arms of a couple who can’t have their own children.” Cars were piling up behind this pickup truck. “You guys keep up the good work. You are our heroes,” they repeated as they drove off. Thank You, Lord, for putting a little sunshine in our hearts today when all looks dismal.
            "Not the glittering weapon fights the fight, but rather the hero's heart."
Amen ~Angela
