Death Toll November 29-December 4, 2004
 The Killing Fields of Granite City, IL.
Hope(less) Clinic

Monday- Bag n’ Tag 95 from past week’s "medical waste"

Tuesday- 40         MO, IL        Proclaimers stood in the all-day rain crying out for these innocents, to no avail. How God’s heart grieved over the deaths of these forty babes.

Wednesday- 21         IN, MN, MO, IL     1 save        Cold winds ripped through the proclaimers standing in the gap. A young black couple came back out and told the lifesavers they couldn’t kill their child. PTL!

Thursday- 25       midnite abortions       IN, WI, MO, Il       3 saves        Dr. D. James Kennedy representative and Coral Ridge Ministries camera crew were in town filming and interviewing mothers and families that have been saved and helped through S.V. ministry. Cameras were rolling as proclaimers were spreading the Gospel and interceding on behalf of these babies marked for death. Loud protesting was coming from the steel mill. It seems they were protesting the unsafe conditions within the steel mill and seniority practices. The crew drove over and interviewed some picketters. Angela interjected: decades ago, Granite City was a boom town, known for its famous steel mill, people came from all over the country to work and raise a family. Now, Granite City is a doomed town, now known for its infamous baby-killing mill. Their blood flows throughout this city, and it demands vengeance.

Friday- 42         KY, IN ², TN, MO, IL        Coral Ridge ministries camera crew video-taped the crime scene outside this abortuary. They were shocked to see how many out-of-state late-term babies were being marched into the mouth of this purple beast. They filmed various sites in Granite City, IL. They commented how depressing and deplorable this oppressed city of slaughter felt and looked.

Saturday- 44         TN, LA, IN, MO, IL       3 saves        Cars from the previous day began arriving at 5:50 a.m. They had to wait in their cars until the deathcamp guard arrived at 6:40 a.m. They lined up to sign the death warrants out on their babies, moaning and crying as they could barely walk once again back into the killing place. On this side of town, the Spirit of Death was reveling, on another side of town, the celebration of Life was rejoicing with the birth of twin baby boys, Cory & Cameron, 7lbs 8 oz, & 6 lbs 13oz. We first met them months ago when their mother Melanie crossed our path outside Hope(less) killing fields. Alleluia!

        Sixteen deathscorts from Washington University in St. Louis, MO and St. Louis Jesuit-Catholic University, marched these babies into their brutal deaths. Praise and worship was led by Loren and his guitar and team singers. Bro John led with scripture as sidewalk counselors offered mothers a real choice, one that they could live with. A sky-writer plane flew over and blessed proclaimers as it drew a giant sign of the Cross in the blue skies over this killing field.

        Hours later mothers began leaving this mill with their brown sacks, that’s all they had left. None were smiling. A family from Louisiana had to carry their young crumpled-up daughter to the car after she killed her child. A car with three young adults stopped their car and began shouting obscenties and calling the graphic signs "pornographic." Proclaimers tried to dialog, but they wanted the police to arrest us and they dialed authorities several times trying to get someone to arrest us for showing the truth. "Why aren’t you going after the monster that caused that baby to die that way?" we asked them. When they can’t attack the message, they attack the messenger. "You’re giving our city a bad-name," they yelled. When authorities didn’t show- up, they finally drove away.

 In total 172 babies were killed, 7 babies were saved. 1158 babies have been saved since January 2000, and 16 babies have been adopted!

         The Church has basically turned its back on these babies scheduled to die. Throwing money at a pregnancy center is not going to save one baby’s life that is scheduled to die this day. Standing outside an abortion mill however when that baby is scheduled to die that day, will make a difference. Saving babies is easy, finding lifesavers to do it, now that’s hard.~Pastor Ed Martin One day, God will ask, "What did you do, when they were killing my babies?" Proverbs 24:11-12 "Rescue those being led away to death; hold back those staggering toward slaughter."

        Exposing sin is love. When we stand outside the high schools, and abortionist’s Ob/Gyn office, and Labor Day parades, we are loving our neighbor enough to tell him the truth. In the Bible, God spoke more about sin than He did love. This is why the Church has turned its back to the real holocaust in our Nation. They are loving their congregation straight to hell, by their silence and indifference to sin. Lev. 19:17 "Do not hate you brother in your heart. Rebuke your neighbor frankly so you will not share in his guilt." If our leaders don’t expose sin and talk about repentance how can there be mercy? Instead of attacking the message, they attack the messenger. John 7:7 "The world cannot hate you, but it hates me because I testify that what it does is evil."

        This is why Granite City and our Nation as a whole hate us for bearing the truth of what goes on within their city limits. John 3:16-19 "...men loved darkness instead of light because their deeds were evil. Everyone who does evil hates the light, and will not come into the light for fear that his deeds will be exposed." If you see a school bus full of children about to drive off a cliff do you try and stop it? Or just look the other way... If you see your neighbor’s house on fire and his three children inside screaming, "save us..save us.." what do you do? Do you go back inside your house and turn the evening news up a lil louder to drown out their screams?..You take your kids ice skating on a frozen lake. All the sudden you hear a crack, a little boy has fallen through the ice, he can’t swim, "Help me!" he cries..do you watch him go under for the second time? Or do you say, "Well it’s too cold, and I’m not a good swimmer, but, I’ll pray for him..and watch him struggle for his life. .." Like in these instances, this is happening everyday. The church has closed its ears to the cries. The Church is too busy at playing Jesus and playing at being Christians to worry about the least of these my lil brothers and sisters. Christmas time is always the hardest time of year too stand in the cold and watch chidren die at the time of the year that other children are so happy and full of anticipation.

        God, Almighty gives these little bundles of joy to families, as a beautiful gift, but their mom’s and dad’s take these gifts and tear them apart and throw them back into God’s face with a "No thank you, here is your gift, torn to pieces, now leave me alone."

Perhaps, this Christmas, we would be willing to do just a bit more to save God’s children. A few hours at a death camp could make a difference in a child’s life, a few dollars to a ministry that is dedicated to saving children at their point of death.

We have a moral obligation to defend and speak for the little ones.."What did you do when they were killing my babies"..God will ask.
