In the year
of our Lord, 2009
“Rescue
those being led away to death; hold back those staggering toward
slaughter. If you say, ‘But we knew nothing about this,” does not
He who weighs the heart perceive it? Does not He who guards your life
know it? Will He not repay each person according to what He has done?
Proverbs 24:11-12
MINISTRY SPOTLIGHT
Small
Victories
Small Victories Ministry is a frontlines pro-life ministry that
began operating from Angela’s home with the help of her husband Daniel
and their twelve children. Angela is a former obstetrical nurse working
in Labor & Delivery. “We turned our family van into a pregnancy
center on wheels outside the Hope abortion Clinic in
Granite City
,
IL
,” Angela said. “We are equipped with an ultrasound machine in our
van to show the mothers a picture of their babies auditioning for their
lives.”
For almost 16 years Small Victories has been offering pregnant
abortion-minded mothers other options than abortion, and giving women a
real choice, trying to save their precious babies, and lifting up the
name of Jesus. Since January 2000, over 3100 babies have been saved from
this abortion mill, and from these mothers 28 babies have been adopted
by Christian couples. We help over 800 girls a year. We see approx 40-50
clients a day, five days a week.
We were blessed with a radio ministry in
St. Louis
for 6 years. The purpose of the radio ministry was to educate and expose
the abortion industry to the listeners and reach out to those who have
been affected by abortion.
The Hope abortion Clinic is the largest abortion mill in the
Midwest
. They are open from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. 6 days a week. They perform
between 10,000 and 13,000 abortions a year with price ranges from
$400.00 to $2400.00.
They specialize in late-term abortions and no parental consent is
needed for underage pregnant girls in
Illinois
. So more than half of their business is from states other than
Illinois
; especially
Missouri
, because you can get an abortion at any age and up to 24 weeks. It is
case by case after 24 weeks.
This abortion mill has been a child sexual predator’s paradise.
We recently helped nab an
Arkansas
rapist who was repeatedly abusing a 13 yr old girl, impregnating her and
forcing her into the abortion mill to get rid of the evidence.
The Hope Clinic is the subject of multiple gross-negligence and
malpractice lawsuits. Some of the more horrific were women who suffered
botched abortions in February and June 2008. They were severely
mutilated and their only recourse was emergency hysterectomies in order
to save their lives.
Our mission is to work from pregnancy through the first year with
mother and child, helping both to a stable and healthy life. We serve
single parenting women of any age and their families; married pregnant,
parenting women who are experiencing poverty or isolation, and adoption
minded mothers; or any mom whose dignity as a mother or as a person is
at risk. We are a 501c3 tax deductible organization. We can only do our
work with your financial support and prayers.
We are literally the last line of defense for these little unborn
babies and their mothers. We feel a deep commitment to honor life and to
provide assistance to create a stable life for those who are in need of
support. Abortion is never an option.
God has blessed us with the recent adoption of a baby that was
spared from this abortion mill. “Children
are a gift from God, a heritage from the Lord; the fruit of the womb is
His reward…” Psalm 127
In Christian love,
Daniel & Angela Michael
and their twelve children
