Operation Save America - CT
Then Jesus said to the disciples, "If anyone wants to be a follower of mine, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow Me!" Matthew 16:24
December 2011 - 101 babies killed at The Summit in Bridgeport by surgical abortion.
3 babies saved!
At Planned Parenthood, New Haven, a total of about 45 babies were killed on the Saturday's in December.
TOTALS FOR 2011- 102 babies saved and 9 salvations
"We are God's workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do." Ephesians 2:10
This is Christina, one of the saved babies from years ago ( Bridgeport) that's grown up to be a beautiful young lady (10 yrs old). Her mom, Alma, brought her to come see us at the mill.
This is Taraji, another saved baby (New Haven) and her two sisters. Their mom, Sharelle is doing well in school for medical assistant.
This is Brodie and Brenda with Latisha's baby girl born on Dec 7th at Bridgeport Hospital! PTL!
St. Raphael's Hospital in New Haven has announced plans to merge with Yale New Haven Hospital, stating that their pro-life directives would be followed on the St Raphael's Hospital campus. Connecticut Right to Life and other Christian groups are concerned that the directives might not be adhered to concerning abortion, birth control, sterilizations and end-of-life issues.
Len Suzio, a newly elected state senator from Meriden, was recently asked to address a commission honoring a winner of an essay on feminism. In his speech he told them he was married to the same woman for 40 years, they have four daughters together and they have opened their home to needy pregnant women for years. So he concluded, "If you want someone who is sensitive to women's issues, I'm your man!" :-)
Len also has made an attempt to defund Planned Parenthood which receives several millions in CT state funds. He raised the topic that it was a shame that two hospitals in Meriden had to give up millions of dollars due to state cuts but Planned Parenthood, the largest abortion provider in the state and the nation, didn't give up anything!

OSA Visits Little Rock, Arkansas
Operation Save America is starting a STATES OF REFUGE Campaign which will target the five states in the USA that have only one surgical abortion mill left: Arkansas, Mississippi, North Dakota, South Dakota and Wyoming. These mills are vulnerable and at their weakest points of survival. This past week OSA met in Little Rock, Arkansas. Little Rock Family Planning Services is the only such facility in the state.
Pastor Mark Kiser from Springfield, Missouri and Carmen Vazquez from CT looking at the only abortion mill in AR.
Most of the people arrived late Wednesday and we met that night at Pastor Marvin Barham's church: VCFI (Victory Christian Fellowship International) located at 10321 Maumelle Blvd in North Little Rock, AR 72113. Bill and Ruth Darr were kind enough to pick up the people that flew in and the rest drove there locally or from other states. Pastor Flip Benham led the service each night and taught us segments of his "Christmas Package" series, re-presenting the miracle that took place in Bethlehem (Luke 1:39-45 ).
The VCFI music ministry led worship Wednesday through Friday night. Bishop Robert Smith spoke of the anemic condition of the church the first night. He spoke to us about "doing the done". Pastor Marvin (of VCFI) spoke and shared some Hebrew words with us. He said the Church has lost its sense of urgency, that we must have the credibility of righteousness to back up our prayers and we are supposed to be the conscience of the culture. Carmen and I spoke about OSA-CT. Every night a few saints shared about their ministries. It is so very interesting to hear the experiences of others in this ministry all over our nation.
We had the morning Bible study and prayer in the hotel parking lot and this is Little Rock Central High School
Every morning after our 6 AM breakfast we had Bible Study with Flip (6:30 AM) as he added more tidbits about the "Christmas Package" ( Phil. 2:6-11) and then we left for the mill or the high schools after 7AM. Carmen and I were sent to the mill for sidewalk counseling and the others went to high schools on Thursday and Friday morning. Students were very receptive to take literature and signs were displayed on the streets. Students at the first stop Thursday morning, Little RockCentral High School - focal point of the 1957 integration battle - came face to face with hard truth regarding current violations of the human rights of pre-born babies to exist. We wondered what Social Studies teachers were teaching when one student insisted the U.S. Constitution prohibits the mention of Jesus on the public sidewalk in front of a school. When the school group was done they all came over to the abortion mill. On Friday morning OSA went to West Little Rock High School. Some of the teeens asked for more literature to pass out and they said they were going to put one in each locker. PTL! Becky and Shelley gave out many brochures in the school parking lot.
After lunch we were off to the University of Arkansas where we gave out the "Sing a Little Louder" brochures and Flip preached in the courtyard. Students on the top floors were listening out the windows and asked Flip to turn up the volume (that's a switch). One student bringing a garbage can around telling students to throw their literature in. Police asked Pastor Hollick and he did have a permit for us to be there. PTL!
Thursday night Rusty Thomas did an awesome teaching on what it really means to be a Christian. He said he has had more grief from the "brethren" than from the pro-aborts. He taught on following Christ through a lifelong journey of justification, sanctification and compassion. The apostle Paul was filled with such bitter sorrow and unending grief that he was willing to give up his salvation if it would save others! (Romans 9:1 & 2 ) You can hear the teachings that were streamed to the Internet at http://ustream.tv/channel/vcfi-tv
There is also an effort in progress to discourage anyone who delivers to abortion mills. Tony Massey has a website www.Bloodworker.com that he will post pictures of vehicles making deliveries to the death camps. The mill and the vehicle with the company name needs to be in the photo. His email is [email protected] All the men prayed over Pastor Kiser who will be in charge of the local operation at Little Rock's baby killing center. Pastor Hollick gave us our marching orders for each day.
Friday night Pastor Flip Benham continued his Christmas Miracle (Matthew 2:1 & Rev. 12). You have to deny yourself and pick up your cross. Also, Bruce Garren, the Darrs and Chris Clegg spoke. Pastor Kizer did an awesome testimony/teaching about his life of football, gambling, beer and jail before he met Jesus! It was great, you have to go to the same web address to hear it! http://ustream.tv/channel/vcfi-tv.
We did the same schedule for Saturday morning except there was no school outreach. We all went to the death camp. We saw the abortionist, Tom Tvedten, who came in every morning in his pick-up truck. Please pray for his conversion. Some did an outreach and flyer distribution in his neighborhood. We all need to pray for the security guard there, Wayne, that he will repent and get saved and find another job. The police gave us a hard time for being in the driveway handing out materials to cars that stopped. They threatened me with F.A.C.E. At one point there were 8 cop cars and 4 federal agents scrutinizing us. A couple of cops privately said they were for us, but most of the time at the mill they were harassing us for every little thing. Workers would speed into the driveway trying to hit us and the did nothing. At one time a cop went into the abortuary to talk to them.
Heather Mechanic and Dorothy Boyette at the football stadium with their signs.
At 10 Am Saturday we left the mill and went to a playoff high school football game at War Memorial Stadium where five to ten thousand people gathered. We passed out literature and showed the "hard truth" of abortion in our nation where 3500 precious children are killed daily. Shame on us. We met a man there that was thanking us and wanted to get some people and his church involved. Three teen girls stopped their car and said they were prolife and so happy we were there. They took literature and encouraged us. Another couple stopped and said they would be with us but their six month baby was still in the hospital since birth. The whole church prayed for them Saturday night. PTL!
At the Saturday night service Pastor Hollick asked if anyone wanted to come up and lead the worship. Ante raised his hand and went up there and led a wonderful spirit filled worship with a guitar. He did not hesitate and knew all the words, it was great. Pastor Hollick taught on the magi and the Messiah and how the brethren needs to gather together while there is still time. (Matthew 2:13, John 7:40-41, Zepheniah 2). Bruce Garren and Pastor Kizer spoke and prayed and last but not least Jo Scott came up and talked about what her and her husband Ken do. They are our heroes who are fearless for Jesus! Please pray for Jo's exoneration in there present court case. She also told us about Pepsi and Kraft using aborted babies to test their products on. Ugh!Jodi shared the heart wrenching story of the mom that they brought to the CPC but still decided to kill her baby. We also heard from Tom Huey who was totally humbled by us being there in his city! Here are some of the videos he took: http://youtu.be/34mRrQdMhGk
http://youtu.be/jehKx_fobgc http:///http://youtu.be/5a1Kviii8Vk
Pastor Kevin Battle joined us Saturday night. He previously prophesied the closing of the mill by January 21st. Deanna Waller also put her videos on You Tube at DWALLER 1978.
Sunday morning there was a church outreach at Agape Church. The Pastor there is Happy Caldwell. "Sing a Little Louder" brochures were passed out. We really didn't have much feed back they took the brochures and went on their way. Comments on our approach were made. Ante Pavkovic delivered a very anointed message on the speaker system and Pastor Hollick and Chris Clegg also delivered messages in the open air.
Pastor Kiser went into the congregation and the pastors wife gave a prayer before the service thanking God for Obama as our President and that he has the mind of Christ and the heart of God. Pastor Happy said do not be upset with the people outside because we believe the same way about abortion we just have a different approach than they do.
It was different not to have people from such a large mega church come out to talk to us. The police were called and sat and watched. A security guard was the only person we talked with at the start of this event when he was opening up the church. He was not in favor of what we were doing.
"Today I have given you the choice between life and death, choose life!" Deut. 30:19

He has called us to receive His own glory and goodness!" 2 Peter1:3
We had a wonderful time of worship, the Word and fellowship with Ante who is up here in Connecticut doing a job.
Its been a blessing having him here.
We came to know TJ when his mom was only 14 years old and pregnant. Now he is 19 and in college on a basketball scholarship.
We are praying and hoping for his salvation, please keep him in your prayers. The other picture is Danny and Hannah on the streets.
On the streets in Bridgeport, Vinny, Danny, Ante, and Stan Gray doing the work of our Lord, exposing the truth about abortion and bringing the Gospel.
"Redeem the time because the days are evil." Ephesians 5:16
Al is disciplining Dionte (a young man who was spared from abortion). Cheryl from Promise Land Church blessed us with some turkeys and food for the families. Calvary Life people gave us food cards and diapers. Thank you!
"In the measure you give you shall receive, and more besides." Mark 4:24
Jaiquin, a saved baby, is now 8 months old! Letti, on the right, is due to have her baby soon!
Please pray for a good delivery, healthy baby and her salvation.
Please pray for a mom Lisa, around 20 years old, who was walking into Planned Parenthood Saturday. Brenda approached her on the sidewalk and Lisa said "I'm really scared. I'm going in for an abortion." She has a five month old baby boy already. She could not look at the pictures of the aborted babies. She changed her mind and took the bus home. Brenda and Wendee have not been able to contact her. They have a phone number she gave them. The baby's dad and her family didn't want her to abort so we pray she does not come back!
"Anyone who knows the good he ought to do and does not do it, sins." James 4:17
Please join us as we reach out to those who find themselves where they should not be. We will be there until the killing stops. Bridgeport is open Friday and Saturday this weekend. Next week: Tuesday and Friday. We meet around 8 AM- 10 AM on 3787 Main Street Bridgeport. Others split up and go to Planned Parenthood on 345 Whitney Ave New Haven CT, same time. If not now? then when? If not us, then who? If not here? then where?

Bridgeport
Babies killed by surgical abortion: 73
Babies saved from abortion: 7
This pro-life mom Paige and her son Blake visited Carmen's church on Sunday for youth day service at Promise Land Church of God in West Haven and she said she felt the love of God in the church. Brenda and Kelly ministered to them after the service and she plan's to come back to church. Paige is attending college and is a very good mother. Please pray for her salvation.
Thank you Promise Land Church of God in West Haven for the 8 gifts bags donated for the new moms and babies. Each bag (as seen in the picture) was full of baby items and
also contained a home made baby blanket by Linda Douglas, who attends Promise Land Church. These gifts will be greatly appreciated by the moms as they realize that they are loved and thought of by others.
Promise Land also supplied us with bags of baby food, formula and new clothes for children saved in the ministry. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR GIVING!
We appreciate all of you that help the lost and the needy, we cannot do this alone!
"He who gives to the poor will lack nothing, but he who closes his eyes to them receives many curses." Proverbs 28:27
This is my nephew Daniel who was adopted and just turned 10 years old. He has been a part of our ministry since he came here from Russia at the age of two. He recently helped us deliver a crib,mattress and other items to Sharelle, one of the moms that changed her mind in New Haven.
On Saturday night at the homeless shelter outreach, Daniel shared the gospel with all the kids. He told the story of David and Goliath in a very detailed description. The seven children were really listening and very receptive. Nancy and Brenda sang Christian songs with them. Brenda talked to the youth about modesty and living for Jesus. Hector did a great teaching from the book of Revelation and the Sermon on the Mount. It was about God wiping all the tears from our eyes. Jennie and Wendee shared about the persecuted church in Iran. God bless all of you that take the time out of your busy schedules to serve the Lord! Great is your reward!
A salesman was going into the mill and Stan Scott told him he shouldn't do business with them, he went in and out very quickly and told him "You're right, I'll never going there again!" PTL! Stan turned 86 this Friday and is still going strong! A woman was going in for a pregnancy test and we explained to her why it was better to go to Hopeline or Mother Setan's at St Vincent's. You do not want to give your money to a baby killing center. Once they find out you are pregnant they will try to sell you an abortion. She left without entering. PTL! This happens every so often.
Alesandra's dad drew this picture of her with Mommy and Daddy. He has very good artistic ability, if you know of anyone looking for an artist, he could use some work. Let me know.
Here is a picture of Sharelle with her three little girls, the baby was saved at Planned Parenthood. Today two babies were saved in New Haven! First we went to Bridgeport and it was closed PTL! So we went to New Haven and a baby was saved on the other side with Yvonna and Lisa and a baby was saved on the side Carmen and I were on. The young dad was talking to his mom on the phone and it was someone we went to church with a long time ago. We will probably have to talk to the young lady's mom who wants here to have the abortion, so please pray about this situation.
Thank you to the Jenson's who made us a delicious brunch yesterday. We are so grateful for the wonderful people we meet in this ministry! Thank you Jesus!
Carmen and I are pictured with Alma, due to have her third boy. She has a good husband and wonderful boys. She is in school learning to speak English and doing well, she is due in December.
Attorney Jim, one of the prayer warriors, told me a testimony. Just being seen on the streets at the mill saved a baby's life! People he knew saw him there and later talked to him about abortion. He told them why it wasn't good. They were worried about finances. They asked him to help them buy a crib and he did and the baby was saved , PTL! Your efforts do save lives. These people just needed a little bit of help and needed to hear that killing your baby is never the answer to your problems! Be bold and speak out for the "least of these".
For the Least of These,

AMAZING TESTIMONY!
"They overcame him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony; they did not love their lives so much as to shrink from death." Revelation 12:11
Friends: As some of you remember, we invited Mark Cahill to come here in Nov. 2009 after he spoke at the OSA National Event in Atlanta. Linda Goodall helped us to have him at their church for a double seminar on a Saturday afternoon. We have an outreach in New Haven at Planned Parenthood and Linda comes and stands on the corner with a sign, gospel tracts and books. PLEASE read her amazing testimony below, only GOD could do
this. MC
So anyway, I smiled, said, “Hi!” and went to give him a gospel tract and a Mark Cahill book.
He smiled and said, “You gave me that a while back.”
I said, “The book???”
He said, “Yes!”
I said, “Great! Did you get a chance to read it??”
He said, “Read it???!!! I’ve been translating it into Chinese!!!!!”
After I scraped my jaw off the ground, I said, “You mean you’re a Christian??”
He said, “Yes, I was saved when I was 7. My family goes back and forth between here and China. We have been here for several years. I actually emailed Mark Cahill to thank him and tell him what I was doing.”
I was totally floored!! I said, “Do you go to Yale?”
He said, “No, I’m a freshman in high school, I’m 15! My name is Jian (John).”
I said, “And you’re translating a book into Chinese???!! Well, if you want some more books to give to students, I have some.”
He said, “Are you serious??? I would love some!’ I gave him the whole stack in my bag and he was beside himself.
I said, “Where do you go to church??”
He said, “The Chinese church down the street.”
I said, “Well, I don't want to take you away from your church, but my husband is the pastor at our church, and we have an awesome youth group that’s on fire for Jesus. A bunch of them are here witnessing with me over at that corner. If you want to come visit the church, I'll be happy to come pick you up tomorrow.”
He said, “Actually, I would love to!”
He lived right down the street and gave me his address and said he'd be waiting for me. I told him I’d be there at 9:15. So he went to class (he’s the kid in the picture between the two smiling teens, with his backpack, and he’s walking away.)
So later I thought to myself, “Oh great! He’s only 15! What will his parents think???” I was trying to figure out how to explain myself to them, when another Chinese man came walking down the sidewalk, much older than John. I went to give him a tract and he smiled and said, “You gave me one a while back!” The way he smiled, he looked just like the kid Jian I just met.
I said, “You're going to think this is a strange question, but do you have a son named Jian???”
He said, “Yes, he came by a while ago. We're going to an English class.”
August Street Report 2011
August 2011 Stats for Bridgeport:
99 Babies were killed by surgical abortion (not counting medical and chemical abortions)
8 babies were spared
5 salvations (PTL! thank you Jesus! )
"The thief cometh not, but to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they may have it more abundantly." John 10:10
This is a little boy, Jeremiah, saved at Planned Parenthood in New Haven. He has been given up for adoption to a Christian family! The most loving thing a mother can do when she feels she cannot handle another child is to give her baby to a loving family, instead of killing her baby in the womb at an abortion mill. I thank God that Jasmine did the right thing. Keep her in your prayers and all her other children. Evelyn, her mother, came to church with her three grandchildren.
Please pray for all the children that have been saved. Since 1990, 2162 babies have been saved that we know of and 396 salvations! God is so good to us to allow us to co-labor with him in His work. It is an honor and a privilege!
Here's an updated picture of the twin girls, Megan and Morgan, born August 3rd with their sisters. Five beautiful girls, what a blessing!
We have an ideal situation in front of the abortion mill to pass out gospel literature and lead people to the Lord. Danny gives out hundreds of tracts weekly at this location and Wendee has done the same across the street . God is comical, he put a bus stop and a methadone clinic right near us. It is a harvest ground.
This is Brian, he is five years old, he is a saved baby.
His mom brought him to come visit us on Saturday.
Every child is such a precious gift from God!
Please pray for this man above in this picture. He has been harassing us for a while driving by and beeping his horn and yelling out obscenities. This Friday he over did it and was arrested. The court date is Sept 22, please pray that justice will be done.
HELP: We need a crib for Sharelle's baby girl that was born in April, if you can help with this please let me know. Plus we would like to help Patricia find a rent to stay with her four grandchildren. Patricia is TJ's grandma pictured above. She currently lives in Norwalk at a relatives house and they all sleep in one bedroom. If you know of any reasonable rents let us know ASAP.
Come join us every Tuesday, Friday and Saturday mornings from 8 AM- 10 AM as we reach out to moms that find themselves where they should not be. We will be there until the killing stops. The gates of Hell will not prevail against the Church. We are the Church. Jesus is our head and we are His body. We are His hands, his feet, his mouthpiece on the earth until he comes back. Just show up and see what God will do.
For the Least of These,

| OSA-CT Pictorial Report | |
| July 2011 | |
 | 94 babies killed by surgical abortions in Bridgeport |
 | 7 babies were saved from death |
| 2 salvations |
| 81 babies were killed at PP in New Haven on Saturdays |
| 1 salvation We had a baby shower for Danielle. It was an awesome time of fellowship with her family and friends. She got all the baby items she needed, PTL! These are a set of twin girls that were born Aug 3, to a happy couple! The doctors tried to get this mom (in her 40's) to abort this precious boy but she did not and look at him!
These are the proud parents of this little girl Liana, who was born August 3rd ! PTL! Three babies born in one day!
We went to visit Danielle who had her baby Friday August 5, 2011. Four baby girls were born that one week! PTL! These two young men are fruit of our ministries. God shows us these things to encourage us to go on. We were able to help their moms back 17 years ago when they made the right decision. These are two fine young men who both love the Lord! |
"You shall not need to fight in this battle: set yourselves, stand you still, and see the salvation of the LORD with you, O Judah and Jerusalem: fear not, nor be dismayed; tomorrow go out against them: for the LORD will be with you" (2 Chronicles 20:17).
This was the Scripture verse Flip and I chose to lead us into Orlando for this year's OSA national event. Little did we realize how significant it would become. Historically, this passage of Scripture records a time when Israel was threatened by three pagan armies who conspired to destroy their nation. King Jehoshaphat, rightly concerned about this national threat, sought the Lord and proclaimed a fast. All of Judah gathered together to seek deliverance.
The armies facing God's people back then were Ammon, Moab, and mount Seir. Interestingly enough, the dangers facing America are also three-fold. The exposed areas Satan is using to destroy us are child-sacrifice (the shedding of innocent blood), the homosexual agenda, and Islam. The first two abominations are the idolatrous roots, while Islam is the dangerous fruit. The left in America has been quite successful in garnering for themselves the most favored business status, abortion, the most favored class, homosexuals, and the most favored religion, Islam. According to brother Flip, their favorites, however, are nothing more than "three different colored gloves (red, pink, and black) that contain the fist of the Devil."
Each year as we prepare to enter a city for our national event, we also recognize the need to fast and pray. The enemies of the cross are growing bolder. They are filled with fury towards anything holy, righteous, or lawful. God haters on every front seek to eradicate the influence of Christianity in order to keep their most favored bloody, perverse, and deceptive status. This year in Orlando was no different. We set aside three days to fast and pray as we sought the Lord to rescue our nation from the battle within and without. Our prayers, I'm here to report, were gloriously heard from on high and in ways we could not imagine.
Casey Anthony's Court Trial
"And judgment is turned away backward, and justice stands afar off: for truth is fallen in the street, and equity cannot enter. Yes, truth fails; and he that departs from evil makes himself a prey: and the LORD saw it, and it displeased him that there was no judgment" (Isaiah 59:14, 15).
When we chose Orlando, affairs were set in motion years ago that we had no earthly idea would come to pass during our national event in Orlando. Specifically, there were two court trials whose scheduling corresponded with our visitation. The first we became aware of was the tragic case of Casey Anthony and her murdered daughter Caylee. This particular case in Orlando started three years ago. Ironically, she was found "not guilty" and released on the same day we scheduled our Solemn Assembly.
Caylee and Esther's Memorial Service at the Orange County Jail
The following is Flip's account of this providential timing:
God gave us an incredible platform to connect the dots between what Cayce Anthony did to her little Caylee Marie and what mothers are doing to their children in the womb via abortion. Cayce just waited two and a half years longer to get rid of Caylee (Late-Term Abortion) than the mothers who have aborted their children. All of the eyes of the world were on the Orange County Jail as Cayce Anthony was about to be released. National and international media were everywhere. The stage was set.
Early Sunday morning, we conducted a funeral service at the Orange County Jail for little baby Esther, a child aborted by her mother and father. We then held an open casket viewing of this precious little baby girl. Though all the media was there with their huge satellite trucks, no one came. No one cared. No one wanted to see.
The Bible tells us that God is not mocked, whatsoever a man sows that shall he also reap. We are reaping a horrible harvest of violence in America today, as blood is coursing down the corridors of our schools, workplaces, and streets. If we sow bloodshed in the womb, we will reap bloodshed in the streets. To stop violence in the streets, we must first stop bloodshed in the womb.
The world did not want to see nor did it want to hear God's message to America. But it was proclaimed from the rooftops, nevertheless.
The media was too busy treating the symptoms of America's injustice to report the root cause. The abortion culture has spawned incredible devastation upon the American family. It has turned formerly concerned parents into predators who prey upon their own children in order to obtain a better life. This was proudly displayed by Casey Anthony's "Bella Vida" (the good life) tattoo. She sported this tattoo after Caylee was missing.
Millions of abortion-minded women display the same cavalier attitude when it comes to their own offspring. Children must be disposed of in order to continue the party life unhindered by parental responsibility. This is nothing less than the "all about me and I pity the fool who seeks to awake me from my deceptive selfishness" syndrome that leads to the murder of children. Flip commenting on this tragedy stated:
Justice has failed, but judgment remains!
God's judgment for Casey Anthony began the moment she "chose" her right to "Bella Vida" (the good life) which eclipsed little Caylee Marie's right to any life at all. There is a law of spiritual gravity that is as absolute as the law of gravity on this earth. It applies to all people, at all places, at all times. You may disagree with it, but that does not change its absolute effect upon you.
Yes, a final judgment remains for Casey Anthony but her judgment has already begun. It is a spiritual gravity as certain and as objectively true as the physical law of gravity. "A man tormented by the guilt of murder will become a fugitive until death; let no one support him." Proverbs 28:17. That which Casey thought was going to set her free to do whatever she wanted to do, has already become a ball and chain around her neck dragging her into the depths of despair, despond, and depression. There won't be enough Margaritas to assuage her guilty conscience, not enough lines of cocaine she can snort, not enough relationships with other men, not enough hours on a psychiatrist's couch, not enough money, not enough education, not enough fame, not enough Zoloft or Prozac, to make her pain go away.
The way she thought would set her free, has made her a fugitive, a slave until death. God has given us Casey Anthony to bring us into a full blown realization of what happens when a mother aborts (kills) her own child. The courts of this world may say it is legal or give one a "Not Guilty" verdict, but in God's court the judgment has already begun. (Editor's note: Flip and I tried to visit Casey and minister the Gospel to her in the hopes she would recognize her wretched state, repent and find the salvation of God.)
Many were outraged by this verdict, but why should they be? Roe vs. Wade trained an entire generation with a demonic view towards life, babies, and family. The message is clear, if you cannot handle the responsibility of your actions then kill it. Now, we are upset that people are living out the lessons learned by this unjust ruling. Injustice begets more injustice. Except this time, it is spilling out of the womb in the light of day rather than hidden in American death camps that dot the landscape of our beleaguered nation.
God is going back to Church Campaign
"Stand in the gate of the LORD's house, and proclaim there this word, and say, hear the word of the LORD, all you of Judah, that enter in at these gates to worship the LORD...If you oppress not the stranger, the fatherless, and the widow, and shed not innocent blood in this place, neither walk after other gods to your hurt: Then will I cause you to dwell in this place, in the land that I gave to your fathers, forever and ever" (Jeremiah 7:2, 6, 7).
After the memorial service to honor Caylee, Esther, and all the other Caylees and Esthers killed in America, we went to the gate of the Lord's house. One team went to an apostate "church," the First Unitarian Church of Orlando. This was the "church" who hosted all the pro-aborts of the National Organization of Women assigned to protect the altars of Moloch from the "domestic terrorists" and the "Christian Taliban." The NOW gang put out a national call to protect their "sacred temples" and all they could muster was a pitiful collection of aging feminists, which amounted to about 5 or 6.
Another team went to a large seeker-friendly evangelical church called, Northland. Pastor Joel Hunter, a spiritual counselor to President Obama, is the senior pastor. We set up signs, praise and worship, and passed out a flyer called, Sing a Little Louder. We came to them with a Macedonian Call, "come help us," and to remind them of their responsibility to rescue those unjustly sentenced to death and to speak for those who cannot speak for themselves (Proverbs 24:11, 12; 31:8, 9).
Solemn Assembly
"And why behold you the mote that is in your brother's eye, but consider not the beam that is in your own eye? Or how will you say to your brother, Let me pull out the mote out of your eye; and, behold, a beam is in your own eye? You hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of your own eye; and then shall you see clearly to cast out the mote out of your brother's eye" (Matthew 7:3-5).
That evening we conducted our Solemn Assembly. This provided us the opportunity to point the finger in the right direction and set the proper spiritual tone for the rest of the week. The following is the prayer topics we covered. Our holy desire was to meet the righteous conditions set forth in God's word and trust that the Lord would hear from heaven, forgive or sins, and bring healing to our land (2 Chronicles 7:14).
1) The doctrine of bloodguiltiness by Rev. Rusty Lee Thomas
Scripture Reference: Psalm 106:38, "They even sacrificed their sons and daughters to demons, and shed innocent blood, even the blood of their sons and daughters whom they sacrificed to the idols of Caanan; and the land was polluted with the blood."
Prayer Thought: Leading the Church in repentance for her past failures of not actively opposing the shedding of innocent blood and to rescue those unjustly sentenced to death.
2) The compromise, indifference, and apathy of the Church by Pastor Victor Morgan
Scripture Reference: Proverbs 25:26, "A righteous man who falters before the wicked is like a murky spring and a polluted well." See also Lam. 4:12, 13.
Prayer Thought: The wicked cannot rise in power unless they first pass through the sins and compromise of the Church. A Church that has veered from or compromised the truth of God's Word always empowers a tyrannical government and a wicked culture. God forgive us!
3) The failure of men by Doc Johnson
Scripture Reference: Psalm 78:9-11, "The men of Ephraim, being armed and carrying bows, turned back in the day of battle. They did not keep the covenant of God; they refused to walk in His law, and forgot His works, and his wonders that He had shown them."
Prayer Thought: The failure of men to fight the battle against the prevailing spirit of lust (videos, magazines, internet, etc.) that rages from within and steals our moral authority to lead courageously in our homes, churches, and communities.
4) The fear of man and a man-pleasing spirit by Ante Pavkovic
Scripture Reference: John 12:43, "For they loved the praise of men more than the praise of God." See also Galatians 1:10.
Prayer Thought: We have become more concerned about offending men and keeping our reputations than our fear of offending God.
5) Return to God's Law which is the standard that is binding upon all men, at all times, and in every nation by Cal Zastrow
Scripture Reference: Hosea 4:6, "My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge, because you have rejected knowledge, I also will reject you from being priest for Me; Because you have forgotten the law of your God, I also will forget your children."
Prayer Thought: We are called to build our nation and its institutions upon the righteous foundations of His eternal law lest we be overtaken by wicked ideologies and our children fall prey to a profane and depraved culture.
6) The squandering of our costly, godly heritage by Rev. R.C. Sproul Jr.
Scripture Reference: Psalm 88:12, "Shall Your wonders be known in the dark? And Your righteousness in the land of forgetfulness?" See also Isaiah 51:1, 2.
Prayer Thought: We have disdained our godly forefathers by forfeiting their costly legacy and defrauded our children by wasting their righteous inheritance.
Weekly Street Activities
"And the lord said to the servant, Go out into the highways and hedges, and compel them to come in, that my house may be filled" (Luke 14:23).
Starting Monday morning, July 18, we organized several teams and sent them out to the highways and byways of Orlando. We had five teams cover the five death camps from Monday to Saturday morning. We had a sign team that covered major intersections throughout the city as well. There was a display team that set up at the University of Central Florida who passed out literature and engaged the students. They also set up the display in front of city hall in downtown Orlando for our special memorial service for baby Esther. Moreover, we sent out a special team that leafleted abortionists' residences, offices, and other key locations. Needless to say, Orlando could not escape the charge God has against us for killing His babies (Hosea 4:1, 2).
Each night at our rallies, powerful messages and testimonies of divine appointments and open effectual doors of ministry were shared. Testimonies of souls surrendering their lives to Christ and families rescued at abortion mills glorified God. It was a time of refreshing and rejoicing in the presence of the Lord.
The other mission performed by OSA this year in Orlando was the Personhood petition drive to protect Florida babies in the womb by love and by law. To sweeten the deal, there were first place, second place, and third place prizes for those who gathered the most signatures. For the youngest person with the most signatures, the prize was to smash brother Flip with a pie at our Friday night rally. This honor went to little Gracia Campana. Many rejoiced as brother Flip received his just "deserts." Altogether, OSA saints collected about one thousand signatures for the week.
The Second Court Trial
"Behold, the righteous shall be recompensed in the earth: much more the wicked and the sinner" (Proverbs 11:31).
The kingpin of the abortion industry in Central Florida is James Pendergraft. He is the one who gave the awful boast, "If the Church would stop frequenting my clinics, I'd be out of business." Sad statement, but is it true? I suspect there is a basis to this wicked taunt. Regardless, unbeknownst to Flip and I, there was a case against him that started ten years ago. It just so happened to commence on Tuesday, July 19 at the Orlando County Circuit Court during our national event. Imagine the shock, when this notorious abortionist looked behind him in the court room and saw Flip Benham, Chet Gallagher, and me staring at him. He went over to his lawyer and complained, "The antis (Anti-abortion) are here." His lawyer replied, "There is nothing I can do about it."
That was not only true concerning us, but the lawyer was also hapless to help deliver Pendergraft from a civil lawsuit that plundered his abortion empire. Pendergraft was hit with 18 million in the civil suit itself and another 18 million in punitive damages, totaling over 36 million dollars.
During the trial we saw the latter part of our theme Scripture verse fulfilled in 2 Chronicles 20:17. All parties involved in this tragedy, Pendergraft, abortionist Randall Whitney, and the staff at the abortion mill scrambled to distance themselves from responsibility for failing to kill the child. She survived and as a result, they began to throw each other under the bus. This is exactly what happened to the pagan armies who threatened Israel. They eventually turned and devoured each other as Israel stood and saw the salvation of their Lord.

They eventually turned and devoured each other as Israel stood and saw the salvation of their Lord.
I will conclude this report with three special venues that took place on Friday, July 22. In the morning, we gathered at city hall to conduct our memorial service for baby Esther. As we pulled up to the area, the sights and sounds took our breath away. The pro-life display was fully set up and the praise and worship of God resounded off the downtown buildings. The presence of God energized the atmosphere. The sun was rising and its rays shined upon a church steeple mounted with a cross. We were literally standing in the shadow of the cross.
The stage was set to memorialize little baby Esther. Some young men acting as pallbearers carried the casket containing Esther. Others bore flags and were led by our bagpipe player, Nathan, who performed Amazing Grace. They escorted baby Esther to the table set up in the midst of city hall. A few men and women spoke passionately, lovingly, and firmly against the culture of death, which was responsible for Esther's death.
"Thou dead, Esther still speaks" was the theme message (Hebrews 11:4). She has volumes to communicate to a nation staggering under the weight of bloodguiltiness and our divine purpose was to give her voice. After the speeches, folks filed by and placed flowers upon her casket, begging forgiveness for what we did and did not do for her and the nameless sons and daughters of America consumed by America's bloodlust (Matthew 25:40, 45). May God have mercy and somehow end this holocaust without ending our nation.
Mosque
"And Elijah came to all the people, and said, how long halt you between two opinions? If the LORD be God, follow him: but if Baal, then follow him" (1 Kings 18:21).
Friday afternoon, OSA Christian men experienced an old fashion Mt. Carmel showdown. We visited the largest Mosque in Orlando. This particular Mosque had been investigated for supporting the terrorist group, Hamas. Apparently to repair their image, they put together a deceptive sign campaign. Signs like, "Did you know that over 1,500,000,000 Muslims believe in Jesus?" "Truly, this nation of yours is one nation, and I am the Lord, so worship me -God (Qur'an 21:92)," "Jews, Christians and Muslims, same God- shared beliefs...let's talk," and, "There is only one God. Moses, Jesus, and Muhammad are messengers of God." There were other signs as well, but you get the gist of their misleading strategy.
Our purpose was to set the record straight and dismiss the deceptive propaganda put forth by this Mosque. After dismantling and refuting their lying claims, we preached the glorious Gospel of Jesus Christ and His Kingdom. It created no small stir. Cameras were running while a loud speaker with a siren blasting tried in vain to silence the truth and love of Christ.
Our message, however, was clear, "The Jesus you speak of is not the Jesus of the Bible. He is another Jesus. You are led by a different spirit and you follow a different gospel that is no gospel at all. Allah cannot save you. Muhammad cannot save you. Religion and good works cannot save you. Only the Jesus of the Bible can save you. Only God in the flesh, crucified and resurrected, can redeem your soul from hell."
Abortionist Randall Whitney Visits our Church Service
"When Jesus heard it, he saith unto them, They that are whole have no need of the physician, but they that are sick: I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance" (Mark 2:17).
In all the years of fighting the battle against the culture of death, never did we witness a practicing abortionist visit one of our church services. That dry spell ended in Orlando at this year's national event. Flip commenting on this incredible visit stated:
Note this well. I have been privileged to share the Gospel of Christ with Randall Whitney on more than one occasion. He attended our last Rally session on Friday night, though most of you were unaware of his presence. He came as a guest of Mark Hall who has been sharing Christ with Randall for many years. Rusty preached that night and I know that God spoke to Randall's heart. Please keep Randall Whitney and his wife in your prayers. Pray that God will save Him, through our wonderful Lord Jesus Christ!
After the service, Jo Scott followed Mr. Whitney in the parking lot to witness to him. This is her account:
I asked him what he thought of the service, he responded, "It was powerful." "Do you believe that Jesus died for your sins?" I asked. He said that he didn't believe that anyone could die for anyone else's sins. He said that he believes in a god, but a god that is only love. I explained to him if his god loves the rapist and the raped there is no love, just chaos. Jesus loves intensely and he hates those who come against what he loves. I explained that He is always ready to forgive but he is also just and holy. Ps. 5:5, 7:11
Whitney believes in evolution so I asked him about his conscience. I explained, "In order for something to evolve it must have at least a cell, the conscience does not." He agreed. Then I explained that God wrote the law on our hearts and that knowledge has no cell, or atomic weight. No scientist in the world can explain how all people everywhere innately know the difference between right and wrong. Then I explained to him that God gave him a conscience because that's where God goes to talk to us. I looked him in the eyes and said with conviction, "That is why the first time you killed a child in his mother's womb, you knew it was wrong." It was one of the few points I made with the 77 year old abortionist that he did not have an answer for, he just let it go.
He told me that the Bible says nothing about the child in the womb. I quoted Exodus 21:22, "If men strive, and hurt a woman with child, so that her fruit depart from her, and yet no mischief follows: he shall be surely punished, according as the woman's husband will lay upon him; and he shall pay as the judges determine. And if any mischief follow, then thou shalt give life for life, eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot, burning for burning, wound for wound, stripe for stripe."
He seemed a little shocked at that, but quickly regained his composure and with a superior attitude and asked, "You believe in a god like that?" I answered you bet I do. He asked me if I've been watching what's going on in the world. He said that the new democratic rule was leading the world to peace. He was very excited about it. I explained that salvation will not come from legislation. It's a free gift and it comes from Jesus.
When talking about his abortion practice he said that he believes that he is truly helping women. He says he, "Really loves women." And that he KNOWS that he is helping them. He refuses to listen to anything to the contrary. Our conversation went on for twenty minutes and what is interesting to me is he sees himself as a messiah of sorts, helping women in these tough times. But at the same time reality has smacked him upside the head lately. He slapped a woman in his office recently and he was arrested for it. He was called to testify at Scott Pendergaft's trial this past week and he was probably the key witness to sink his colleague.
Whitney is not board certified in 7 critical fields and Pendergraft left him alone with a patient and went home. She complained that they would not give her anything for pain and then left the office, went to a hospital and delivered a child severely damaged by the botched abortion. Finally, he recently had surgery to insert a pacemaker. His whole image of himself may be
shaken and this may be an opportunity to shine the light of Jesus through the cracks in his facade.
I know this report is lengthy, but I pray it edifies, encourages, and challenges all who read it. This is what happens when the church crosses the line of obedience and shows up at the gates of hell. They cannot prevail in Jesus name!
IN KING JESUS' SERVICE, Rev. Rusty Lee Thomas
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~shaken and this may be an opportunity to shine the light of Jesus through the cracks in his facade.
Prayer Partners,
Greetings in Christ! Just a few days ago I got back home from a jam-packed-six-day-ministry-trip to Orlando, Florida. It was the annual National Event for Operation Save America (OSA). I was invited to attend by some friends. The trip left ministry stretch marks all over me. Most of the things I did, I have never done before.
During my time I participated in several outreaches including two abortion clinics, the neighborhoods of two abortion doctors, an Islamic mosque, joined in two memorial services for aborted babies and attended the jury trial of a local abortion doctor in Orange County district court and all I can say is “Wow!”.
As I saw it, OSA sees themselves primarily as biblical evangelists. They preach the gospel in the open air at the places were sin is tolerated and growing like a noxious weed. They passionately, courageously and steadfastly call men and women to Christ through exposing the sins of abortion, homosexuality, the false religion of Islam and other sins plaguing our nation. I agree with their main message of repentance. It is the same as the Old Testament prophets, John the Baptist, Jesus and the early church. Apostle Peter declared in the open air, “Repent therefore, and turn again, that your sins may be blotted out, that times of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord” (Acts 3:19-20).
I had the opportunity to preach the good news from a sidewalk to some National Organization for Women (NOW) volunteers that were in support of the local clinic. What a joy! When women walked into the clinics I joined with others in urging them to choose a better way for their unborn baby. I prayed the Scriptures to myself interceding on behalf of the people and the unborn babies going in and out of the clinics. When a Muslim outside the local mosque told me, “I am drawn to Islam because Allah gives me peace” I lifted up Jesus and urged Him to turn from Allah and to Christ who offers true and lasting peace.
I visited with a woman who walked by an abortion clinic holding her three week old grandbaby. She said her daughter nearly followed through on an abortion at the clinic. Praise God she didn’t. Also, praise God that she listened as we shared the gospel. She along with her cousin yielded their lives to Jesus.
While eating lunch at a park with our group one day, God led me to visit with a local gentleman sitting by himself, Phillip. He was a Haitian man who spoke broken English. As we visited I turned the corner and God opened the doors to share the gospel. Awhile later we kneeled at the picnic bench with two other believers that came over and Phillip prayed to surrender his life to Jesus. Amen!
I went with my opinions about this type of ministry based on what I have heard from mainstream secular and Christian media over the years. Neither media group seemed to encourage this type of ministry based on their history of reporting. However, I’m sold on it! Yes, I didn’t agree with everything I saw and heard, but most of it I did. And, I can’t deny the fruit of their labors. It is a fact that God has used them to save thousands of babies and thousands of lost souls. They weep over them and the sins of our nation. They are passionate to be holy as God is holy. They are some model biblical preachers, mining the Word for its deep truths and sharing it with others. They love in word and deed giving themselves in countless ways and they identify with the sufferings of Christ. Yet, they continue on because of their love for Jesus and others. What an inspiration they were to me to set my face like flint toward the cross of Christ and press on in faith, boldness and holy love.

Jesus said to the crowds, "If you trust me, you are really trusting God who sent me. For when you see me, you are seeing the one who sent me. I have come as a light to shine in this dark world, so that all who put their trust in me will no longer remain in the darkness. If anyone hears me and doesn't obey me, I am not his judge --for I have come to save the world and not judge it. But all who reject me and my message will be judged at the day of judgement by the truth I have spoken. I don't speak on my own authority. The Father who sent me gave me His own instructions to what I should say. And I know his instructions lead to eternal life; so I say whatever the Father tells me to say! John 12:44-50

OSA-CT STREET REPORT (5-12-2011)
"To the world you may be one person, but to one person you may be the world."
April 2011- Summit Center in Bridgeport was open 11 days (1 day was a pre-op day) with an average of 15 prolifers there each day.
Abortions- there were 73 abortions averaging 7 a day.
Turn-aways- 14 clients left quickly but we don't know why.
Babies saved- 9 babies saved that we know about.
Salvation - one salvation on 4/16 at the shelter Bible study (led by Jeff).
Planned Parenthood in New Haven. On the 3 Saturdays in April that I have a record: there was an average of 10 pro-lifers each day, 15 abortions each Saturday. One baby was saved on a Saturday and 4 babies saved a Friday reported by Kerrie.
This young lady was waiting for the bus and told us she needed help with formula so we gave her the resource information she needed. Saturday a Wesleyan student, Charlie, who has been there as a "deathscort" came to interview us for a report he was doing on abortion. I asked him if he was going to talk to us when he came back to "escort" and he said he was graduating so wouldn't be there anymore.Ron Martin and Vinny Bosco were giving him "heaven" and telling the truth about what abortion really is. I was too busy talking to the moms going in so I just gave him a bunch of literature to take with him to read. We had an awesome day of baby saving on Saturday! Four babies were saved that we know of! PTL! The first mom was Hispanic so I had Melinda interpreting for me to them until Carmen came. The next couple that changed their mind left about 10 AM and they were Hispanic too. I gave them the resource list and told them to call Carmen if they needed someone who spoke Spanish. The next couple went in and out real fast and the young mother was crying and said she could not do it and the last one was another couple that were very sincere and took all the info! It was all God. This is a group effort, some pray, some plant seeds, some water, some reap the harvest..........but in the end, we can do nothing without the help of Jesus!
"Yes, God will give you much so that you can give away much, and when we take your gifts to those who need them they will break out into thanksgiving and praise to God for your help. So two good things happen as a result of your gifts -- those in need are helped, and they overflow with thanks to God. Those you help will be glad not only because of your generous gifts to themselves and to others, but they will praise God for this proof that your deeds are as good as your doctrine. And they will pray for you with deep fervor and feeling because of the wonderful grace of God shown through you." 2 Corinthians 9:11-14
Here's a little report from Tom about the shelter ministry on Saturday night in Bridgeport: Anthony Barrios provided food from his work place, which was delicious and the people enjoyed it very much. Tanika Williams (Lighthouse Fellowship Church) worked with the kids (about 5) and showed them a short movie. I led a short Bible devotional in the TV room. There were about 6 women and 1 man in attendance. All understood English. We opened with Psalm 139 and discussed how God knows all and we cannot hide anything from Him. We talked about God’s plan for our lives (Jer. 29:11) and what life’s purpose is. Also we talked about how God promises to be with us in difficult times (Isaiah 43), when we receive Christ into our lives. I invited people to receive Christ, if they had not done that. The couple had come from a church in Bridgeport, where the pastor recently left. They seemed very discouraged. We prayed for them. Two of the ladies expressed a desire to rededicate their lives to Christ. Three ladies and their children came to our church the following day. One of the ladies (Angie) who wanted to rededicate her life to Christ came forward during the invitation (at church) and prayed with Sister Jennie and Sister Norma to rededicate her life to Christ.
If you would like to help with the shelter ministry by making food, helping with the kids or the teaching, contact Tom ([email protected]) or Brenda ( [email protected])
We sponsor it every other Saturday night.
Here is Brenda, Carmen and Stan taking to moms going in.
Wendee was able to come out to Bridgeport and was able to give out 70 pieces of pro-life gospel across the street as cars wait for the red light to change. PTL!
One of the moms, Nicky, is due in June so we will be collecting items for her baby shower in May. She is having a boy and she needs everything. We need all the gifts by Saturday, May 14th, please. Thank you again for your help, for we cannot do this alone. Keep Nicky in prayer please, she has gone to church with Carmen a couple of times. Pray for her salvation.
There was a save in New Haven on Saturday April 16. The saints waved them over from the parking lot. They said they were already an hour late so it seemed they may have been struggling with the decision. Pam got to witness to Crystal with her testimony. Brenda and Wendee were there also. She said she wanted an abortion because she was going to school and the father has two kids and she has one. They didn't need any financial help but Wendee offered to babysit for her while she continued in school during her pregnancy. She was moved by the baby model and could hardly look at the aborted baby pictures. They took all the literature and the Eclipse of Reason DVD. They stayed in the car awhile and told prolifers they changed their minds on the other side of the driveway.
Please join us tomorrow in Bridgeport and Saturday in New Haven. If not us, then who? If not now, then when? If not here, then where? We are the Body of Christ. Jesus is our Head. We are His hands, His feet, His mouthpiece, as we reach out to the lost and needy who find themselves where they should not be! We will be there until the killing stops!

Miss Taraji was born into the world on Thursday night 11:58 PM April 14th.
She weighed in at 8 pounds 1 ounce and is 21 inches long.
She is a beautiful little girl made in the image of God.
She is a gift to us from our Lord and we are blessed because of her.
Welcome Miss Taraji
Colbi arranged the beautiful flowers and
we went to vist her at Yale Hospital in New Haven.
My goddaughter Hannah came with us to visit the new arrival.
We met Sharelle many months ago at Planned Parenthood and a lot of prayer, sweat and tears went into convincing her to keep her baby, especially from Colbi who picked her up many times to go to church and take her shopping and just trying to encourage her. Colbi was so excited to hold this precious new baby. Sharelle has two other beautiful little girls around one and a half and three years old. The babies dad is a really good guy. Please keep this family in your prayers to learn the ways of our Lord so they will be steadfast in Him.
"Proclaim the message and, welcome or unwelcome, insist on it. Refute falsehood, correct error, call to obedience -- but do all with patience and with the intention of teaching. " 2 Timothy 4:1-2
Tonight three ladies, Carmen, Britney, and Sharice were scheduled to go to Bible fellowship at the Lighthouse Church gathering with Nancy and Jennie. Also Nicky went to Carmen's church last Sunday. Please pray for their salvation. Nicky is due to have her baby in June. She is having a boy and we will be collecting gifts for her shower on May 21st.
This past Saturday a couple was walking up near the pizza restaurant and I started to talk to them about keeping their baby. I called over to Carmen to bring the collage and ambulance photo. This couple have two small children home (2 yrs old and 10 months old) and the dad was really determined to get the abortion. We told the mom what God says about it and how we could help her. They were talking in French so we couldn't understand everything but they ended up leaving. We exchanged phone numbers and gave them a resource list and a baby gift bag. Please pray for them.
I want to encourage all of you to keep gospel tracts with you where ever you go. I keep Muslim tracts too, because I have a heart for them, especially the women. On Monday when I was leaving Costco I saw a Muslim lady going in the entrance. So I turned around and went back in the store. I asked her if she was Muslim and she said yes. I gave her the Magdeline DVD and I showed her the gospel literature I had in Arabic. She said her neighbors read Arabic and she would give them the literature and DVD's. I was so excited, you would have thought I hit the jack pot. Witnessing for Jesus is never boring.
Please join us. This week its Thursday and Saturday morning in Bridgeport. We are there between 8 am - 10 am. Some go to Planned Parenthood in New Haven on Saturday mornings too. Just show up and see what God will do! If not us, then who? If not there, then where? If not now, then when?
For the least of these,

March Street Report 2011
Catholic and knew that it was wrong for bringing her daughter to the mill. She is keeping her baby and took
all of our literature and help. The woman that turned away was french and didn't speak English.
She called her aunt from her cell-phone so I could explain in English to her aunt what I was trying to convey
to her about the mill and the help we had for her sister. She took all the information and a DVD so she can watch it at home.
Her sister came back out and didn't have the abortion. Her name was Nina. We need to pray for her and the two moms that changed their minds.
I also had a mom that changed her mind 10 yrs. ago with her daughter Hillary that stopped by the clinic to visit with me. She is coming
back next Saturday to pray with her other two daughters. She attends St George Church in Bpt. It made my day, God is soooo good!!
To God be the Glory for all that He continues to do!!
In Christ for Life, carmen

Abortionist Kermit Gosnell
PHILADELPHIA (CBS) - A West Philadelphia abortion doctor, his wife and eight other suspects are now under arrest following a grand jury investigation.
Dr. Kermit Gosnell, 69, faces eight counts of murder in the deaths of a woman following a botched abortion at his office, along with the deaths of seven other babies who, prosecutors allege, were born alive following illegal late-term abortions and then were killed by severing their spinal cords with a pair of scissors.
"I am aware that abortion is a hot-button topic," said District Attorney Seth Williams. "But as district attorney, my job is to carry out the law. A doctor who knowingly and systematically mistreats female patients, to the point that one of them dies in his so-called care, commits murder under the law. A doctor who cuts into the necks severing the spinal cords of living, breathing babies, who would survive with proper medical attention, is committing murder under the law."
Gosnell is facing charges of murder in the third degree for the death of 41-year-old Karnamaya Mongar. Mrs. Mongar died on November 20, 2009, when she was overdosed with anesthetics prescribed by Gosnell. He is also facing seven murder charges for the deaths of infants who were killed after being born viable and alive during the sixth, seventh, or eighth month of pregnancy. Gosnell is also facing numerous other charges.
Gosnell is suspected of killing hundreds of living babies over the course of his 30-year practice. However, he is not charged because the records do not exist.
DA Williams said Gosnell made approximately $1.8 million in one year alone performing the procedures.
