Reverend Peterson is also a good friend. He acknowledged our ministry and met our newest addition. His speech was inspiring and full of hope for the Black family and all Americans.

 

Tuesday- OSA Conference Words of Warfare on the streets in Atlanta . Evening rally- the pro-aborts showed up outside our church and pressed their poster board signs with the usual rhetoric against the glass windows trying to disrupt us. Instead, we invited them, all 8, inside and offered bottles of cold water as it was scorching hot.

            I had an opportunity to meet their leader with the baby in my arms. I shared her testimony and told the attractive feminist, “We don’t just do the talk as many so-called pro-life leaders do; we do the walk. We aren’t the religious loons people paint us as.” We then briefly shared the mission of our ministry with Paris . She looked at baby Hannah and smiled. She was receptive and admired our work. She asked where we were located and I told her which mill we stand at helping mothers with a real choice. She thanked us for sharing and I thanked her for taking the time to listen.

            As we were walking back inside the church, I noticed a young girl holding her sign and smiling at Hannah. I briefly shared her testimony with her also. She put her sign down and said, “I really don’t know why I’m even here. They just asked me to come hold a sign.” “That’s okay, it’s good to hear both sides of the issue,” and we walked inside.

            Throughout the evening, various Christians went outside and witnessed to the small group. After a while, they slowly faded off the church premises.

            Monique, who quit her job as an abortion mill worker earlier this day, gave her heart to Jesus and was baptized at the evening service. Praise the Lord!

Friday- 37      KY, IN, OH, MO, IL       1 save      1 pro-lifer

            Two Black American girls from Missouri came back out and decided not to kill their baby. They accepted a brochure as they left. The guard updated us on this past week’s events in Granite City . It was hotter here in the Metro-East than it was in Atlanta .

            We got back home and were inundated with requests from pregnant girls for supplies or housing and a disturbing message from yet another botched abortion survivor. She was seeking advice and counsel. The rest of the afternoon we were gathering baby items for the mothers and returning calls.

 

Saturday- 38      MO, IL      3 saves   on-site ultrasounds      23 pro-lifers, rosary group, Bound 4 Life, Springfield Right to Life, 3 deathscorts

            We noticed another covenant baby was about to be murdered as we watched a Black American couple with a fish pin on their car haughtily walk inside to kill.

            The Granite City police were called because an irresponsible male from Missouri came over and tried to destroy our boom box. We play soft Jesus music to drown out the screamers. Officers Schulz, Maue, and Atchinson responded. They asked us if we wanted the male arrested as he cannot destroy others’ property. “We would rather see him saved, but you can give him a firm warning.”

             Kathy, the lesbian deathscort from the gay pride parade two weeks ago, tried to make jest of the complaint, but the officers brushed her off. They approached the male and he looked scared. He had to produce ID and they checked his vehicle. He was from Farmington , Missouri and brought a pregnant girl who was into her second trimester. This was day 2 of her abortion. He was not so cocky after the officers talked with him.

            They came back and told us to keep up the good work and asked how many babies were saved today. “It’s hard to save them when you have screamers.” “Any ultrasounds?” “We can’t get the women in when people are yelling and berating them.” The officers agreed and told us to hang in there and we told them to stay safe as they drove off.

            Soon, Amber, bearing a cast on her ankle, and her 3-year-old daughter hobbled up to the mill. They needed some assistance and it was Mackenzie’s and her 1-year-old sister and save Chloe’s birthday. We gave them supplies and a gift card so Mackenzie and Chloe would have a cake and a couple of presents for their special day. We are currently looking for housing for them as her husband lost his job recently and their home.

            As we were walking them to their car, Mia was yelling for help on the front sidewalk. Two Black Americans stood in front crying and wanting ultrasounds. As we approached, I recognized them from earlier in the morning. I ran through the rosary group asking them to pray for the situation.

            As Brandi and her friend Marshonda were walking across the hospital lot to go inside, I was able to speak with them and offer free help, but they still went inside. What was so disturbing was all morning we watched very pregnant women with tummies protruding from the top of their waistbands hurriedly trying to get inside to kill. Such was their case.

            After they walked back out, I directed them from the screaming man with the fake collar and beside the ultrasound van as Daniel and Mia set it up. Brandi tearfully said, “I don’t really want to kill this baby, but I have no help and I am struggling to make ends meet.” “Did they do an ultrasound inside the abortion mill?” “Yes,” she said. “They didn’t let me see it. They just told me how much money it would be.” “Brandi, would you like to see your baby?” ‘Yes,” she responded.

            Both came inside. The van was hot as our air-conditioning does not work. We improvised and rolled windows down to try and ventilate. I quickly scanned her tummy. BAM! Her little one’s face appeared on the screen. She looked over. “There’s your baby!” Tears welled up in her eyes. We took some measurements. “Approximately 13 weeks. Is that about right?” “Yes,” she said.

            She tearfully explained that she already had two at home and was trying to finish college courses to get a better job. “How is killing your baby going to solve anything?” She looked over at the screen to see her little one still peering at her. I told her, “Your baby is auditioning for it’s life right now.” She blurted out, “I can’t do it.” The baby appeared “to be a girl, but it is still early. Everything must be confirmed and follow-up with your regular doctor.” We went over our resources and how we can help minister to Brandi.

            Marshonda then lied back and we soon viewed an approx 24 week old baby boy doing somersaults on the screen for his attentive audience. “Can you help with baby supplies?” she asked. “Absolutely!” Again, we exchanged contact information and went over our resources. Both women were so grateful. They did make the comment that they rushed inside to the clinic due to the man who was screaming at them. We acknowledged screaming at pregnant women is a hindrance outside this abortion mill; it has chased a lot of babies to their deaths.

            We walked outside and asked a real pastor to pray for these two expectant mothers and their situation. After prayer, we walked them to their car and they drove off.  

            We noticed a couple standing across the street watching our efforts. I asked them if they were going into the abortion mill. The woman responded, “Oh, no. We are here to pick up our newborn son from the hospital who was born 5 days ago. But we couldn’t help but notice your efforts from across the street.” We then shared our ministry with them. I showed them the picture of baby Hannah and they commented, “How beautiful,” and commended our ministry.

            A woman, Leslie, who brought her niece for an abortion walked over to the front sidewalk. She explained her situation. Earlier she yelled at the screaming man, “Jesus would not be judging and screaming at people. Christians don’t act that way,” and both went inside.

            Later, the aunt came out for a smoke. The girl was only 16. It was a bad situation. She knew it was wrong to bring her, but felt there was no recourse. She was very remorseful and asked for prayer. We offered to help adopt the baby. “It’s too late. They took her back already.” We bowed our heads in prayer. Leslie wept as we prayed for her and Chelsey.

            While we prayed, another woman came back out. She indicated she didn’t go through with her abortion and drove off the lot.                                                              

            Thank you Lord for the blessings this day. Only one day back from hell’s gates in Atlanta and look at how magnificent You are. Yes, the road trip was long, in a cramped van, with a child who threw-up after the first 30 miles (we had to drive twenty more before a pit-stop). Thank God for plastic bags! But You Lord provided and got us through and safely back. God is still on the throne and still in control.

            Special thanks to those whose prayers and financial blessings helped us get to Atlanta .

 

Approx. 75 babies killed. 4 babies saved. Approx. 24 pro-lifers cared enough to show up throughout the weeks’ massacre. 2823 saves since January 2000 and 26 babies have been adopted through Small Victories!
