The following words were shared with us during the Midway Rally. Malcolm has a very tender heart and truly wants God love and mercy to rain down on all of us. Please take a moment to read it.
I am encouraged to see a lot of new faces this year
and I know that God will bless all of you for your willingness to carry this cross.
You are like Simon the Cyrenian that helped Jesus to carry His cross,
except that you have not been forced into service.
Therefore your service is more meritorious.
But before I say anything else,
let me share with you the great results of our campaign thus far.
For those of you who are new to the 40 DFL,
when we refer to a “confirmed save” or “turn-around”
we mean that an abortion minded woman or couple
has reported to our prayer volunteers that they have decided not to abort.
This requires extraordinary grace and
I imagine that many others probably occur but do not speak to our volunteers.
As of this morning, according to the International 40 DFL website,
the total number of confirmed saves for all 258 vigil locations is 221 babies.
As of yesterday, our vigil has witnessed 3 confirmed saves.
More than three times the national average for a single vigil location,
and remember these are just the babies that we know of.
Because of your support,
three precious children of God and their descendants
have been spared from abortion.
It’s hard for me to believe that we are already at the mid-way of this campaign and how quickly the time is passing. It reminds me that each moment of our earthly lives is precious because these are the only moments in time that God has given to us. And our good works are the only thing that we will take from this world into eternity.
Our families, our wealth, our health, our talents, and even our Faith, are all gifts that we receive from God. Jesus said that what we do for the least of our brothers and sisters we do for Him and therefore our good works are really the only gifts that we can give back to Him.
And the more difficult the struggle, the more merit we can attain.
So give thanks that we have been given this great struggle.
In Ephesians 6:12 St. Paul says:
Our wrestling is not against flesh and blood, but against principalities and powers,
against the rulers of the world of this darkness,
against the spirits of wickedness in the high places.
So if you feel discouraged,
tired, angry, or overburdened…
recognize that these feelings are not from God,
but from the accuser.
Ask God to deliver you from these thoughts
and stay strong to the finish
so that we may achieve the merit
which God is placing within our grasp.
Our battle against abortion must also include
opposition to government policies which promote abortion.
The Obama Administration has recently mandated
that those who object
to purchasing abortion causing drugs for their employees should be heavily fined.
This is the most serious public policy issue that we are facing today.
Though there are many reasons to oppose this unjust mandate
but the most fundamental objection
is that the conscience protection provisions
of this mandate are extremely narrow.
The consciences of most
churches, private employers, and charitable organizations
are not respected or protected.
Americans who refuse to submit to this mandate
will be fined into bankruptcy
and
driven out of business by the government.
Pro Choice advocates,
once again missing the point completely,
want to discuss the controversial “benefits" of contraception
in order to avoid discussing the real objections to this mandate.
They say that this is about women’s health and the right to choose.
But pregnancy is not a disease, and abortion is not freedom.
Therefore we must not allow them to control the language.
Please do not refer to this policy
as this is a "Contraception Mandate",
this is a Contra-Conscience Mandate
and a direct attack on the free exercise of our religion.
If this is part of the price of universal health care, then it is already too high!
And do not doubt that this is only the first payment that will be required.
The implications of this mandate alone are huge
and they are not limited to faithful Catholics.
But why should we expect a government
that has refused for decades
to defend the dignity of life, to defend our sacred liberty?
The only question is, who will be next?
In a world where only immorality is to be respected,
the earthly body of Christ will be stripped of it's garments and then crucified.
Never before in the history of the United States
has the First Amendment been so blatantly attacked.
Not since the abolition of slavery has our liberty been so blatantly attacked.
Never before in our life time has fasting and prayer been so essential.
Please pray for our leaders and our nation.
So once again I thank you for your presence
and I implore you to finish strong.
Thank you.

Around 1am the other night, Malcolm, was sitting outside our "Life-Mobile Truck" when a young man walked over to him. The story he shared was short and to the point.
