Death Toll May 5-10, 2008

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

  Once known for their towering steel mills, now known for the baby-dumping mill.

 

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

Severing over 400,000 mother–child relationships in their 34 year reign of terror

 

Monday- Bag n’ Tag 139 babies from the past week’s carnage were bagged and tagged for medical research labs, pharmaceutical and cosmetic firms.

 

Tuesday- 26 midnight abortions     IN, MO, IL      1 save      2 pro-lifers   Happy Nurse’s Day!! We celebrated by intervening on behalf of those without a voice in their mother’s wombs. We stood in the gap building up the wall in this City of Slaughter . A young couple from Illinois came back out and confirmed to Daniel they were keeping their baby. They accepted a brochure and drove off the bloody parking lot. Praise God!

 

Wednesday- 8     MO, IL      1 pro-lifer    Just a few follow-ups from the previous night.

 

Thursday- 28      TX, IN, MO, IL      2 pro-lifers        Another day of storms and rain. We awoke to the sad news that our close friends’ son had lost his battle with lymphoma. The weather fit the mood.  It was a light killing day. It may be weather related… Also, whenever a botched abortion or a lawsuit against Hope(less) makes the headlines, the killing numbers tend to go down for awhile. In other words they “lay low” as not to draw attention to themselves. They want the public to think they do few abortions with little to null complications. Remember the marketing strategy, it’s all in the packaging.

 

Friday- 30      MO, IL      2 saves      3 pro-lifers     A cool and stormy day. It seemed like a cloud opened up on us as soon as we arrived. The parking lot was full of mothers inside killing. We stood in the light rain begging mercy. One mother came back out and we were able to walk her to her car and confirm a save. She accepted our literature and drove back to Missouri .

            A mother and daughter came back out from Missouri and confirmed they were keeping their baby and drove off the lot. It doubles up our work load when it rains. We have a hard enough time trying to hold onto our signs, but we also have to keep our feet and literature dry. When it rains in this city with washboard streets, you almost need a pontoon boat to get around.

 

Saturday- 39      KY, AL, CO, TX, MO, IL      4 saves     Over 230 pro-lifers including several youth groups and 8 Illinois churches represented, Christian Motorcyclist Association, 4 pastors, 1 local pastor, 1 priest, 1 deacon    

            One day before Mother’s Day and God’s church showed up to stand in the gap for His babies and their mothers. We were especially honoring motherhood this day. The youth groups worked hard all week and wrote short messages of love to attach to the flowers we offered to every mother walking inside to kill. “Mom, you are my hope for life! Love, your baby.”

            The saints poured out of the buses and surrounded the abortion mill singing God’s praises. They were joined by area youth groups and leaders. It was an awesome sight. One of the youth group’s high school had honored us with a baby shower and blessed us with an over-sized bag full of baby supplies and gifts to help the mothers and their babies.

            After praise and worship ended, the gentle Christian prayer warriors did a Jericho March around this altar of Baal. But what was so significant was we noticed throughout the praise and worship no mothers were entering this death house. The last time the churches showed up the same thing happened. No mothers were going inside to kill during the singing. PTL! More cars drove by and gave us honks of support.

            Pastor Todd led the charge and took the proclaiming line over to the main thoroughfare, but stopped, gathered the troops, introduced our ministry, and asked us to speak to the new members that came this day. We also introduced the local pastor and all the elders and pastors surrounded us and prayed for our ministry and the local pastor. We shared the latest picture of our newest addition with all and her testimony briefly.

            The church groups then spread out and lined themselves along this busy intersection in this City of Slaughter . What a sight! The inhabitants of this town had to take notice of the abomination in their fair city. They held signs that read “Life is precious” and “I want to live” for the passer-bys to see.

            As I walked back to my post, I noticed the mother and daughter who went in earlier. They were coming back out. I offered the blue flower I held to the mother and asked if we could help. She looked at me and said, “You’re not the screamers are you?” “No,” I replied. “They are not a part of our ministry. We are here to help women with another choice other than aborting.” She looked at her daughter and said, “We’re not going to kill...we’re keeping the baby.” She told us she was 20 weeks pregnant, but the clinic didn’t show her anything. I offered to show them a picture on the ultrasound. They hesitated, but explained they just wanted to get away from this place so she could be with her other child. But she would follow-up with her regular doctor. They accepted our brochure to stay in contact for a follow-up ultrasound at some point.

            The mom shared with me that she was glad her daughter didn’t go through with the abortion. Her mother stated, “I almost aborted her, but I’m glad I didn’t.” She then hugged us and I told her what a blessing her daughter was and she agreed. She thanked us and took the flower as I said, “Happy Mother’s Day moms.” They got in their and drove back towards the interstate.

            Pastors Todd and Steve brought the proclaimers back to the mill where, before they boarded buses, we shared the saves and their testimonies. The Christian Motorcyclist Association gathered on their bikes and even let the motorcycle Momma pose holding her baby’s picture. AWESOME!

            We rounded the corner after watching the buses head out and noticed a Hispanic couple walking out. We greeted them and their eyes were drawn to the picture of the baby I was holding. They didn’t kill their baby. They accepted our literature and left.

            We walked the youth group to their cars and pretty soon there were only a few remaining on the sidewalk.

            Mother’s Day weekend was off to a good start!

 

Approx. 131 babies killed. 7 babies saved. Approx. 238 pro-lifers cared enough to show up throughout the week’s massacre. 2744 saves since January 2000 and 26 babies have been adopted through Small Victories!

 

            Live your life in such a way that when your feet hit the floor in the morning, Satan shudders and says, “Oh no, she’s awake!”  Thanks Chris, a good friend and supporter of our mission outside the gates of hell in Granite City . If you’re living pretty comfortable and things are going good, maybe you’re not much of a threat to the devil, therefore you won’t be a target.

            My good friend in CT made the comment also, she has never seen a ministry going through so much persecution. “Maybe your ministry is so effective and hitting the devil’s pockets that he is unleashing all kinds of fury against you to try and stop you.” That’s when you know you’re on track against the enemy. Satan will use anyone and everything to try and defeat you. He wants to see you dry up and die. But our God is bigger. He calls us to afflict the comfortable and to comfort the afflicted.

            It’s during the storms that will determine the caliber of person you are. It separates the sheep from the goats. During the storm you can tell who’s playing church and who knows what church is all about. You’ll be able to identify the carnal Christians or the mouthy ones. I like to call them the “catfish Christians”, all mouth and a thimble-full of guts. They can recite the scriptures forwards and backwards with their eyes closed. But on the day of the storms, they fold and run.

            What good is it to listen to all these teaching tapes and church twice a week only to come home and gossip and devise schemes or bear a false witness against someone? It makes you wonder what kind of foundation their house is built on. Ask yourselves three things: Is it glorifying the Lord? Is it saving babies? Is it making money and a name off of someone else’s ministry?

            It’s time to move on and move up furthering the Lord’s Kingdom. God will deal with those who come with a rosary or Bible in one hand and a dagger in the other. Once you realize the distractions Satan uses to neutralize you, you will realize the full power and anointing the Lord has on you and the mission He has set before you. The power of God is mightier than all the combined forces of the devil. As a believer, that mighty power lies within us. Every time we show up outside these gates we have the victory. We win! Now you understand our ministry title. Even though in God’s eyes they are HUGE victories.
