Charleston, SC joins National Day of Remembrance

    

Weekly routines?

Does your weekly routine include 

a PRO-LIFE ministry?

I happened to be a woman who lives by a steady and happy routine.   

Monday... Do laundry 

Tuesday.... Wild Wings for supper

Wednesday.... run errands

Thursday ... pray for families being tore apart by abortion

Friday... morning time praying at the abortion site

                and evening “date night” with hubby

Saturday... abortion site praying & sidewalk couseling

Sunday... Mass

Having a routine helps me to feel productive. But it is my involvement in the PRO LIFE movement that helps me feel complete.

40 Days for LIFE will be back 

September 25^th  -- November 3^rd 

Join us as we pray in front of the 

Charleston Women’s Medical Center 

the corner of Fussler & Hwy 61 in West Ashley.

Please pray about adding this ministry to your weekly routine.

May God bless you 

and 

keep you in His loving care.

Standing up for LIFE!

19 years ... 1 letter

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.  

19 years ago he received a letter from a former girl friend 

and with it was a photo of an aborted baby. 

As shock gave way to understanding he felt his heart slowly start breaking.

 

Now, 19 years later, one question still haunted him.  

So tonight he asked Malcolm the one thing he needed to know.

   Do aborted babies go to Heaven?

I don't know anything about their relationship.

BUT.... 

I do know that for almost 20 years 

one thought broke his heart 

each night when he laid down to sleep. 

Is my baby in Heaven?

Malcolm shared with him 

    the babies are innocence in God's eyes. 

They talked a for awhile and then the young man walked away.

Please pray for him tonight.  

MIDWAY RALLY SPRING 2012

We were very inspired by the following speech that Dr. Kevin Baird gave. I hope it will encourage you as you pray with us during this Spring Prayer Vigil.

I want to thank the FORTY DAYS OF LIFE leadership for the invitation to share for a few moments. You have taken a great risk, as I have been known to be long-winded and to the point. 

I want to first thank all of you who have been here at this site through the years with little encouragement and support from those of us who share your views, but never inconvenienced ourselves to stand with you. It’s time to change that.

I personally repent for the past and my hope is that in some small measure, you will feel encouraged and renewed for the cultural battles ahead.

[This year was the 39th anniversary of Roe v. Wade.  1 year short of a generation, Our President said, “He celebrates that anniversary for all our daughters”. You may celebrate this evil Mr. President, but there are a growing number who mourn.]

I do not celebrate the fact that 3,000 innocent people are murdered every day (1.2 million every year) in America without trial, no legal representation, and no opportunity to defend themselves. (Every 20 seconds over the past 39 years, a baby is killed. 180 in just the time we spend at this vigil

Let the weight of that sink in. 54 million lives are gone. That is a natural disaster that would wipe out: California, Arizona, Nevada, Oregon and Washington combined.

Having said that, in these past 39 years there are some things we can now analyze and understand with certainty. It contains both bad news, as well as good news.

Let’s get the bad news out of the way first.

Many Christian ethicists told us that legalized abortion would open a box of incredible moral dilemmas. They told us that demeaning life at its nascent stages would cause us to demean it at every stage. We now know they were right.

Everything from end of life termination, mercy killing, assisted suicides, to a recent article in “The Medical Journal” from two Australian Ethicists who now advocate what is being called, “After-Birth” abortion, which is simply a new name for infanticide. They say that the same convoluted logic and reasons that are now used for a pre-born abortion can also be applied to a baby who has breathed air for several weeks. (In less than a generation from Roe v. Wade, we have become no better than the worshippers of Molech from Assyria who routinely sacrificed their children to worship their demon gods and then infiltrated the nation of Israel with their pagan practices.) We knew, intuitively, that this is where it would lead.

But despite that, there is some good news..

Statistics tell us that we are slowly winning the abortion debate. 

More & more people are “getting” the issues of abortion. 

Our technology has made things crystal clear. 

What is growing inside a mother’s womb is not some unidentifiable blob of flesh or sub-human species…it is a baby. 

The baby has its own unique finger prints, unique DNA, unique blood type. It reacts, it feels, it moves…it is one of us, and more than that, 

that baby is a creative work of God.

PSALM 139:13-16, For YOU formed my inward parts; YOU covered me in my mother’s womb. I will praise YOU, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made; marvelous are YOUR works, and that my soul knows very well. My frame was not hidden from YOU, when I was made in secret, and skillfully wrought in the lowest parts of the earth. YOUR eyes saw my substance, being yet unformed, and in YOUR book they all were written, the days fashioned for me, when as yet there were none of them.

But abortion advocates say, “Oh no…it’s a fetus”

FETUS (Latin) – “Unborn Baby”

You see…abortion advocates want to play this shrewd game with semantics and vocabulary. It’s what racists tried to do with our African friends when they said blacks were property and not persons. It’s what the Nazis tried to do by depersonalizing the Jews so they could be eliminated. You see, you must depersonalize and dehumanize a person semantically, before culture lets you exterminate them practically. The same culture that will cry out for a mistreated dog or cat, will board ships and chase Japanese trawlers to save whales, and regulate and fence in the trees to save them all over Charleston County…will turn their head when it comes to the unborn. (It took me 11 months to mitigate the cutting of ONE oak tree as I navigated the regulation and approval process of this county. And yet, a young girl, with little to no regulation, little counseling, and rarely the whole story…can swiftly terminate a life. Something is profoundly wrong with that picture.)

WHAT CAN WE DO?

REMEMBER THAT AT ITS ROOT, THIS IS A SPIRITUAL BATTLE.

We are not battling with these scared and wounded young women.

 Paul said, “Our battle is not with flesh and blood”. 

We are battling fear, ignorance, and confusion.

We must contend with the spirits that are behind this place. 

(Greed, death, deception, murder)

BE COMPASSIONATE 

Our job is not just to confront and identify the evil and problem, but to provide the answer and solution.

Speak of justice and speak of principle, or whether we shall stand and fight for them. We are going to have to decide whether we shall quote the words of the Declaration of Independence with real conviction, or whether we shall take that document and throw it on the ash heap of history as we adopt the message of those who insist that we stand silent in the face of injustice. When it comes to deciding whether we shall stand by the great principle that declares that all human beings are “created equal” and “endowed by their Creator” with the “right to life”, it seems to me, there is no choice for silence.

CONCLUSION

Alan Keyes Quote:

America has once again arrived at a momentous crossroads. We are going to have to decide, as we have had to decide so many times in the past, whether we shall only speak of justice and speak of principle, or whether we shall stand and fight for them. We are going to have to decide whether we shall quote the words of the Declaration of Independence with real conviction, or whether we shall take that document and throw it on the ash heap of history as we adopt the message of those who insist that we stand silent in the face of injustice. When it comes to deciding whether we shall stand by the great principle that declares that all human beings are “created equal” and “endowed by their Creator” with the “right to life”, it seems to me, there is no choice for silence.

God Bless You all!

Gods Truth Opens Our Eyes

Sometimes I know we think that the men praying during the night shift at the abortion site "never have anyone stop by" 


 Last night while Kathy and John were almost at the end of their 4 -8pm shift a young man walked over. 


After a few minutes of sharing about 40 Days for Life, the young man came to his point.


 Basically, he asked, "Are the few cells at the very beginning of a woman's pregnancy really a person?" 


Kathy shared from a Mother's heart. The John shared a lot of medical facts. 


They believe that the young man walked away knowing more about pregnancy, a Mother's heart and how beautifully God has designed us! 


The love that God has for us from conception till natural death is always a wonderful message to share. 




God bless all the folks that do the night shifts and all the lonely souls they encounter.

God has called US to such a time as this

 The speech below was given by our Director

 Malcolm Brennan during our Cast the Vision Rally.

It has inspired me and it is my hope it will touch your life as well.

Thank you for joining us as we prepare for the 40 Days for Life Spring campaign.  

Thank you to everyone who has contributed to organizing this campaign and this rally.

From before time began, almighty God planned to call you and me into existence at this crucial time in human history.  It is not yet clear if these are the best of times or the worst of times.  History will decide if this was the time when humanity arose from a great deception and apostasy and returned to God and a great calamity was narrowly averted.  History may also record that this was the prelude to a great persecution.

Many people believe that a great tribulation is about to befall mankind. Others believe that these are the last days before Jesus return.  God has not revealed these things to me.  All I know is that these are the days that God has granted to us.  I also know that everyone here will have a last day on this earth, and that it may be sooner than we expect.

We have just marked the 39th anniversary of the Supreme Ct. decision legalizing abortion in our land.  Hundreds of thousands of pro-lifers marched on Washington, and once again the media did not notice. 

As we enter into the 40^th year of this holocaust, the blood of over 50 million innocent babies cries out to God from our land.

The culture of death has become drunk with this blood and is showing it’s true face.  Pro-abortion advocates have deceived themselves that they were supporting “freedom” and “choice”.  But the recent Health and Human Services mandate requiring religious institutions to pay for insuring sterilization, contraceptives, and abortifacients shows that they are opposed to religious liberty which is the very foundation of our freedom. 

I have said in the past that we do not seek primarily a political solution, but our current president, in his arrogance, has forced a political decision upon us and our response will have great consequences.

And though we must be in the world, we must not be of the world.  Therefore we should not be deceived that we can save ourselves.  Our salvation is in the Lord and we must follow His prescription if we want to be healed.  The Lord’s prescription is that we must humble ourselves and seek His face, and do penance for our most wicked ways.  Then will God hear from heaven, and He will heal our land.   2 Chronicles 7:14 

We must do as the Ninevites after hearing of Gods approaching judgment.  We must proclaim a fast and pray that God will grant repentance to our people.  That sounds a lot like a prescription for 40 Days for Life to me.

40 DFL is the kind of healing response that can unite the people of God.  We do not hurl accusations or display horrific images to the people we meet at this clinic.  These women have been deceived and turned against their very nature.  They are like the victim, in Christ’s parable of the Good Samaritan, who have been robed and beaten and left for dead. They are our sisters and daughters and we are called to tend their wounds.


But forgiving does not mean condoning.  
Our duty is to call them to repentance so that they and we may receive God’s mercy. 
So how do we prepare for this difficult (some say impossible) mission?  

·      First we must trust in God for we have not been given a spirit of fear. 

      Do not be afraid of offending men, be afraid of offending God.

·      Take the fasting part of this campaign seriously.  If your health does not permit abstaining from food, then find another significant sacrifice and offer it daily to God.

·      We are commanded to go out and spread the word. 

     Invite your friends, your family, your neighbors, and your pastors to participate in 40 Days For Life campaign. 

      Make it a goal to bring at least one more person into this movement.

God has called us to such a time as this, and he has a unique purpose for each of us.  I can not wait to see what God will do during this upcoming campaign.

Malcolm
