Death Toll March 27-April 1, 2006

Reporting from the “Baby-dumping capital of the Midwest” Granite City , IL .

 

Hope Clinic- American Family Extermination Camp “destroying families one child at a time”

Severing over 366,000 mother –child relationships in their 32 year reign of terror

 

Monday- Bag n’ Tag approximately 177 for medical research labs and cosmetic firms from past week’s carnage.

 

Tuesday- midnight abortions -37      TN², MO, IL      1 save    1 turn-away      3 pro-lifers      After finishing the radio program, Savanah and I drove over to the extermination camp reluctantly. Behold, two precious ladies stood on the frontlines in the cold drizzling rain crying out for the babies. It’s so encouraging not to stand alone no matter what the weather. God was with us. Cars drove by giving us honks of support. One precious Missouri baby’s life was spared and one woman turned away and didn’t even go inside and drove off.

 

Wednesday- 7      MO, IL              2 pro-lifers called out to the mothers going inside, hours later coming back out carrying their brown bags to throw up in indicating they killed their child. One woman could barely walk to her car and came by herself. She struggled to drive off the lot.

 

Thursday- 36       AK, MO, IL              Former Hope(less) death merchant and  co-owner of the infamous “Teaberries” teahouse in Highland Illinois, now a parking lot, Deb Dudek’s relative stopped by the mill to let pro-lifers know he prays for his sister-in-law and told pro-lifers she was fired from this abortion mill over money indiscreptencies inside. Most death salespeople are not happy with their grisly trade, but it’s the love of money that drives them  

Andrea and Travis drove to the Highland office where they watched their six week old baby auditioning for its life on the ultrasound screen. They voiced their concern of both only being 18 yrs. old and juggling college and jobs, but after much counseling they agreed, if they were old enough to make a  baby, they were old enough to take responsibility and raise a baby, and left elated.    

 

Friday- 43      IN, IA, MO, IL      4 saves              10 pro-lifers            Small Victories received a disturbing phone call in the wee hours that a young high school girl was being forced into aborting her baby by the impregnator’s mother and was scheduled for Friday morning. A description was provided. We expedited our course. We arrived five minutes before the girl pulled onto the parking lot in a car driven by the boyfriend’s mother. “Jenni, you don’t have to be forced into something you don’t want to do,” I called out. She looked surprised that I recognized her and addressed the situation. The mother then angrily yelled at the boy to, “Get her in there.” “If this boy really loved you, he wouldn’t make you do something you don’t want to do, and you may regret the rest of your life.” She looked over her shoulder. The mother then pushed her in to sign the death warrant. “Jenni, where’s your choice?” The mother then yelled to me to, “Shut-up!” “If you believe in a woman’s choice, why don’t you give her one, Mom? This won’t ruin your son’s life, he should of thought about that before he decided to make that baby.” The mother then pushed the girl and boy inside. A few minutes later the mother came back out and retrieved both of their school bags and brought them inside the death camp.

Throughout the morning we prayed and offered another choice to the women going in. Two young girls came back out and the driver had half a smile on her face. I asked her if she saved her baby. She looked up and looked as though she was told not to talk with us. I stated that, “You look like you want to say ‘Yes,’” and she shook her head up and down in confirmation. As they pulled off the lot we were able to speak with them and give them a bible and a Small Victories brochure.

A very young Missouri girl accompanied by an older woman and teenage boy walked inside. A few minutes later they came back out. The older woman told us she wasn’t the mother of this 12 year old girl and that this girl was 8 weeks pregnant  and she wasn’t going to kill the baby. She also said she just gave her a ride over here.

After we drove home from the deathcamp, we received a frantic call from Linda who stopped a young couple from going inside to kill. Angela spoke to the pregnant girl over a cell phone. The girl said both of them were too young to raise a baby, they were only 18 years old. Angela then told her, “We can help put your baby up for adoption.” Jessie then replied, “Oh, I could never do that and live with myself.” I then asked her, “But you can walk inside that deathcamp and murder your baby?”  SILENCE...on the other end. Then Linda, who placed the call, spoke in the phone, “She’s crying,” she said... “Linda, can you navigate them up here to my office in Highland ?” “Yes.” And 45 minutes later they arrived.

After some preliminary questions I placed the scanning wand on her tummy and I asked her, “Would you like to meet your baby?” I turned the screen to face her and there she saw their 5-6 week old baby. I called for Bill, the father, to come in and he looked at the screen and began grinning. “It’s gonna be okay. The hardest thing is going to be to tell your parents, but we’ll get through it and if your parents love you, they will love this grandbaby.” We discussed a lot and talked about spiritual needs and felt confident the Lord was in control and what an awesome day because God’s people listened and cared enough to show up where children are being murdered everyday. 

 

Saturday- 49      IN², KY, MN, MO, IL      2 saves               It felt like summer PTL! A beautiful sunny day to stand for life and literally be the last line of defense for these lil boys and girls being led to their slaughter this morning. Caring enough to make a difference in the world today and the lives of tomorrow’s children.

Baby slave traders Ryan Goski and Cheryl Daniels ran out of the slaughterhouse pushing a wheelchair. Suddenly a grey pick-up from the day before abruptly pulled onto the crime scene. The passenger door flew open and a very pregnant woman was bent over moaning and screaming; she was in active labor and delivering her baby right there in the front seat. The employees wrestled with her a bit, then pushed her in the wheelchair and ran into this mill screaming all the way. It was sobering.

Two women came back out after a few minutes, smiling. They told us that they had indeed saved their baby and reached over for the Small Victories brochure.

We couldn’t help but notice the Missouri car inside the killing mill with double fish pins. I mused, “Both lovers of Mrs. Paul’s fish sticks...” and the P.T. cruiser from Indiana with the handicap sticker and front plate stating, “Heaven doesn’t want me, and hell is afraid I’ll take over.”

It can be so disheartening to see and face so much death and evil each day. This is not an easy ministry. If it were, everyone would be doing it.        

 

172 babies killed. 7 babies saved. 1732 saves since January 2000 and 22 babies have been adopted through Small Victories!

 

 

“Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.” Hebrews 11:1

We have LOTS of reason to be discouraged when we see dozens of women and men killing babies right in front of our eyes every week. It is hard to meet professing Christians with Christian bumper stickers and worship music playing in their cars coming to murder their pre-born sons and daughters. Some are even elders in their churches!    Patte Smith- Sancturary Ministries

            There is a difference between hope and faith. We tell ourselves; "I have faith that a baby is going to be saved from abortion when we are witnessing at the clinic today," and, "I have faith that a woman is going to repent over the wicked intention of her heart and cry out to Jesus." We read the Word of God, we pray, we even fast in preparation for engaging the lost at the killing place. We do everything we can to be effective at ministering. Then, what happens? We get to the abortuary and we introduce ourselves to every pregnant woman and every companion and every clinic worker who arrives to murder babies. We labor in the hope of seeing a woman change her mind and allow us to help her through pregnancy. When no one accepts our offers of help or comes to conviction of their sin and stops what they are doing and cries out, "What must I do to have this baby? What must I do to be saved?" we say to ourselves and to God, "But I had so much faith! I was obedient to the call of Christ to reach the lost! What happened?"

When we fall victim to discouragement and unbelief it is obvious that we have a problem. The problem is, I didn't have faith. I just had hope.  

            Faith is the EVIDENCE of things hoped for. We may have no evidence that a particular person will turn from murdering their baby and come to Christ. We have hope. We earnestly hope that women will have a change of heart, a surge of maternal instinct, and a pricking of her conscience and be unable to murder her child…But, beloved we DO have evidence that God will bless our efforts, that His word will not return to Him void, and that He is with us. We have faith (evidence) that these things are true, because God told us so. We can always aim to focus on the things we do have evidence for, and that will continue to encourage us. We have evidence that God calls our humble efforts at reaching the lost BEAUTIFUL.

“And how shall they preach, except they be sent? As it is written, ‘How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace, and bring glad tidings of good things!’” Romans 10:15

            We have evidence that Jesus appreciates our obedience to the Great Commission. It is not a confidence in ourselves or even, ultimately, in our efforts. It is a confidence, a genuine faith, genuine that Jesus can and will do what pleases Him and will use our efforts to bring glory to His own name and good to us and to the lost.

            Faith is the substance of things hoped for. Faith and hope go together; and the same things that are the object of our hope are the object of our faith. It is a firm persuasion and expectation that God will perform all that He has promised to us in Christ; and this persuasion is so strong that it gives the soul a kind of possession and present fruition of those things, gives them a subsistence in the soul, by the first-fruits and foretastes of them: so that believers in the exercise of faith are filled with joy unspeakable and full of glory. Christ dwells in the soul by faith, and the soul is filled with the fullness of God, as far as his present measure will admit; he experiences a substantial reality in the objects of faith.

            Faith is the evidence of things not seen. Faith demonstrates to the eye of the mind the reality of those things that cannot be discerned by the eye of the body. Faith is the firm assent of the soul to the divine revelation and every part of it, and sets to its seal that God is true. It is a full approbation of all that God has revealed as holy, just, and good; it helps the soul to make application of all to itself with suitable affections and endeavors; and so it is designed to serve the believer instead of sight, and to be to the soul all that the senses are to the body. That faith is but opinion or fancy which does not realize invisible things to the soul, and excite the soul to act agreeably to the nature and importance of them.

            How welcome the Gospel ought to be to those to whom it was preached, because it shows the way to salvation, proclaiming the best news that ever came from heaven to earth.

The good news is that the Lord Jesus reigns and all power is given to Him. Those of us that bring the tidings of the Gospel shall be very acceptable to God.

It is more than hope that tells us this! It is more than hope that gives us the truth and provides strength and perseverance to our hearts and souls so that we GO to tell it to others. It is faith! And that faith itself is a GIFT OF GOD!

Ephesians 2:8 “For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: [it is] the gift of God,”

What an incredible thing that we have been given this faith as a gift ... that we don't have to MUSTER it up ourselves. But, Jesus has also given us ONE ANOTHER, to stir up our faith. See

2 Timothy 1:6  2 Peter 1:13 2 Peter 3:1

            What a blessing to have each other to confess to, to lean on, to pray with, to learn from, to labor with. II Corinthians 4:1 “Therefore since through God’s mercy, we have this ministry we do not lose heart.”

 Do you really want to see this war on the pre-born won? Or are you just playing a good game of pro-life war? We are here to WIN the war. We already know our marching orders, but we have to show up. Proverbs 24:11-12 “ Rescue those being led to the slaughter..”

 

            Be encouraged~ Angela
