00:21: Hi, I'm Jeff Durbin, pastor of Apologia Church and the head of endabortionnow .com. I am so excited to present to you what
00:28: God has done over the last year through your prayers and your support, all that you've done to partner with us as a
00:33: Christian church, trying to equip other Christian churches globally to save lives at the abortion mill and to establish justice, immediate justice for these pre -born children.
00:43: Years ago, when we started this ministry, we told you that we were a Christian church that wanted to make this about the gospel.
00:49: We did not want to work with the pro -life industry who were trying to regulate the issue of abortion. We wanted to establish justice, to abolish this, to criminalize it and to end it once and for all.
00:59: When we first started, we told you that we wanted to raise churches up to equip them completely for free.
01:04: We wanted to educate them. We wanted to provide for them all the resources to go out and to save lives at the abortion mill.
01:10: As of today, over 615 local churches have signed up. They have been equipped.
01:16: They have been trained. They've gotten free resources. We haven't taken anything from these churches. We've wanted only to give to them.
01:21: And through your support, we've been able to equip them and train them and give them all their resources to save lives completely for free.
01:29: Over 615 churches, countless lives have been saved at this point. Thousands upon thousands of lives are being saved and they continue to be saved on a regular basis because of what you did with us.
01:42: You gave to this church to equip these churches and now thousands of children are alive because of that.
01:48: We knew that we needed to create a media ministry that was a platform that could communicate consistently on this issue of abortion from a consistent
01:56: Christian perspective that worked towards the end, the criminalization and the abolition of abortion in our nation.
02:04: We knew that we needed to speak with the gospel demanding immediate justice to our legislators. We started a movement across the country of Christians going to the legislature and demanding immediate justice.
02:14: That all has happened. And now we've been able to work with Christians across the country who are working with their legislators to criminalize the issue of abortion.
02:23: Right now in the state of Arizona, we have a representative who is presenting a bill to criminalize, not regulate, to end the issue of abortion in the state of Arizona.
02:33: Roe V. Wade is a court opinion. It does not have the force of law. It is not a law and that is admitted now.
02:41: Number one, we don't know exactly what she will do or their expectation is that she may very well move to overview over rule
02:50: Roe. The only responsible response to that would be to pass legislation making
02:55: Roe the law of the land. That's what I would do. We needed to educate believers that Roe V.
03:01: Wade is a court opinion and states need to reject an unjust ruling by judges in the 1970s.
03:10: We knew that we needed to actually approach this consistently in a way that was different than the pro -life industry has, where they're working towards regulation and not the ultimate criminalization of abortion.
03:21: They call mothers and fathers who have abortions victims themselves. You'll never end abortion with that mindset, with that worldview.
03:29: The pro -life industry refuses to call abortion murder, what Christians would call it. We've wanted to raise churches up to actually equip them to focus on this issue as Christians, not with neutrality, but with the gospel demanding immediate justice.
03:44: We've been able to do that through your support. Over 615 local churches now out saving thousands of lives.
03:50: We have now established other media ministries. We, through your support, have actually given numerous churches their own media kit where they're actually gonna be able to produce their own content, just like Apologia Studios.
04:02: We've given them high -end cameras and recording equipment, sound equipment, tripods, lenses, so they can do what we're doing to broaden the reach of the voices of those within the
04:13: Christian church who can speak to this issue with consistency as Christians for the end of abortion.
04:20: We've been able to raise up churches in Ireland, Northern Ireland, and the Republic of Ireland, and in Scotland, who are speaking to this issue as Christians in Ireland, in Australia, in New Zealand, in Canada.
04:33: God has made this movement global, and it's happened because of your support with us. I wanna speak to you from the heart here.
04:41: We are not trying to create an industry. I long for the day when we shut all this down and don't ask for another penny to support these churches and to criminalize this issue.
04:51: We are working as a Christian church to criminalize this and to establish justice and to save lives.
04:57: You've helped us to do that, and you've helped us to do it in a way where we've been no burden to the churches.
05:03: We've just helped them, equipped them. You did that. You supported us, you prayed, and right now, we have legislators in Indiana, South Carolina, Texas, Oklahoma, and in Arizona who are going to be putting in bills to criminalize abortion, to resist
05:19: Roe versus Wade, and to criminalize abortion at the state level. It's gonna be happening here in Arizona.
05:27: It's already being submitted, and all of that's happening because of the work of EndAbortionNow .com
05:33: and other believers across the country who are trying to establish justice, true justice for these pre -born children.
05:40: Will you join us again in 2021? Of course, pray for us. Of course, please sign up at EndAbortionNow .com
05:47: with your church. Save some lives with us. There's Christians all over the country that need you to join us.
05:53: We need your help to save lives, but also partner with us so we can equip more churches, develop more media ministries to speak to this issue in the public square together, and to once and for all criminalize abortion in our nation.
06:07: Help us to meet our matching donation for 2020. Help us through 2021 to save more lives and to end the slaughter of these innocent pre -born children in the womb.
06:19: When you give to EndAbortionNow .com, you're giving to equip local churches to save lives.
06:25: That's all there is to it. Lives are being saved every single day across the country and around the world now because of believers just like you who gave.
06:35: You are helping to raise churches up and you are saving lives. You're helping to establish media ministries like Apologia Studios that are speaking to this issue consistently, that are raising up Christians, that are helping to actually end, to criminalize the issue of abortion.
06:51: You're helping us to actually train and equip Christians to do what we've been able to do across the country now.
06:57: Christians have been able to talk to their legislators and demand immediate justice. Just think about this.
07:03: 10 years ago, we weren't in a place that we are now, where we have legislators who are actually saying, end it.
07:11: It's over, we're criminalizing this, we're abolishing it. Now we're here. Christians have been working so faithfully in this area and you can partner with a ministry like Apologia through EndAbortionNow to raise up churches, to bring the message of the gospel into conflict with abortion and to bring the message of immediate justice to legislatures across the country like this one.
07:33: It's happening in Arizona right now. We have people all over the country now who are in this.
07:39: This is unprecedented in our time to see so many changes right on the line.
07:47: And I just wanna reiterate again, I am so looking forward to the day as a pastor where we never do another one of these videos except just to celebrate what
07:56: God has done. We never ask for another penny. The pro -life industry is an industry.
08:01: It's a business. When you give this to the church, the church can work with the gospel to end this issue and never ask for another penny.
08:10: Brothers and sisters, will you give, help us to match our donation so we can fund all the work for 2021?
08:18: Will you help us in this moment in time to work to the end of abortion as the
08:23: Christian church? Help us to work in such a way that we end this, we don't regulate it, we criminalize it and establish justice for our pre -born neighbors now.
08:34: That's what's happening. So many churches, so many lives saved. Now, more media ministries than ours able to speak to this with good quality content, with a consistent message and working with the legislators to criminalize this issue in our country.
08:49: Will you partner with a Christian church that makes this about the gospel, that makes this about ending abortion once and for all?
08:58: We can celebrate together when we never ask for another penny from a
09:03: Christian to end this issue because it's ended. Go to endabortionnow .com,
09:10: sign up with your church to join us in saving lives. Go to endabortionnow .com
09:16: to give towards the work of 2021. All of your giving goes towards raising up churches, saving lives, creating media content and media ministries to speak to this issue and to training churches to actually end this at the legislature.
09:32: Join us for 2021, brothers and sisters. I'd be so grateful if you did. This year,
09:48: Endabortion Now gave cinema quality video production kits to four of the most active abortion clinic ministries.
09:54: These kits valued at over $5 ,000 each include a Blackmagic 6K camera, multiple lenses, audio, tripod, and accessories.
10:04: The goal was to flood the internet with gospel -centered video content so that more people might see babies getting saved in their communities and get involved.
10:12: So the things we've got on the camera just in the few days since we've been using it are two or three saves, I think, already.
10:18: Interactions with all types of people that come to the mills and some angry, some happy.
10:26: Black people are dying. Just being able to capture everything that's happening has been really good. The video equipment's helpful because just from going out,
10:35: I've heard of quite a bit of people who have watched other videos that people who go out to the mill put out there, and it encourages people who kind of have the thought of wanting to step out, but they're not sure.
10:48: So then they watch other people go out to the mill and they think to themselves, I can do this. I think a camera like this is more helpful than just a ordinary
10:56: GoPro because greater detail, you're able to capture more of what really goes on out there.
11:03: If I upload a GoPro video, it's scratchy, it's not capturing everything.
11:09: You can block it with your coat, so you can't really see the face -to -face conversation that we're having, but with a camera like this, you get to capture the whole conversation.
11:18: You get to actually witness the mother's face, her eyes are lit up and her smile is huge.
11:29: With a GoPro, you can't really capture that. It's awesome to watch God move at these places and it's really great to be able to show other people, to record these things and show other people the way
11:38: God moves and what he does at these places and the way he saves babies.
11:52: Ken Cheeseman, Raleigh, North Carolina. We wanted to do some evangelism, but then we started seeing this could be, abortion ministry could be effective for evangelism.
12:07: YouTube, just started watching, found Durbin confronting people and then, yeah,
12:16: YouTube, basically. Well, I mean, at the place that we're at now, we have our pro -life,
12:28: I don't know, pregnancy center type place that's completely hostile and hates what we do.
12:35: They're trying to do what we do and they really just hate the gospel, I think.
12:40: They don't give them the gospel. They're out there and they say, we're not with them, we're not with them.
12:48: Yeah, we're not with them. No. And they have gift bags.
12:53: There's food in the bag. There's information about getting the ultrasound, but we asked them to look in the bag and there's not even a gospel track.
13:05: I really do think they're ashamed of the gospel. It's about handing out these bags and getting people to have the ultrasound so they can check the box, so they can extort money from churches that are afraid to share the gospel.
13:23: People should support end abortion now because they're not ashamed of the gospel and they're proclaiming the law of God, which that's what's gonna work on the heart to bring people to the knowledge of Jesus Christ.
13:40: I mean, it is the gospel. We can't be ashamed of the full counsel of God. If we don't proclaim it, if the church doesn't proclaim it, there's no organization on earth that will.
13:54: And then you have these pseudo -Christian organizations, again, extorting and taking money from Christians in the name of Christ, but will not speak the true message of Jesus Christ.
14:23: We knew of a woman that had needed some help and we had chosen to help her with her pregnancy and she birthed a little girl and we continued to help her for a couple of years and she ended up pregnant, an unwanted pregnancy, and she wanted to get an abortion.
14:44: And I just, I couldn't fathom that.
14:50: And I talked to her about it being murder and that it's just, you can't do that.
14:57: She couldn't do it. I just wasn't gonna let her do it. And I said, we'll talk tomorrow. Next day came, she was living at her home, by the way.
15:04: Next day came and she still wanted to, and I said, you couldn't. I told her she couldn't.
15:10: And four days went by and on the fourth day, she said that she had already ruined him, that she had already ruined him, that she said that she had already been doing things that she shouldn't have been doing while she was pregnant.
15:23: And she said that nobody would want him. And I said that I would. I said that she couldn't get an abortion and that I wanted him.
15:34: And then I called my husband and I told him what I said. And he was like, okay, we're gonna have another baby.
15:41: And he was born two months early and his name is Jairus. And we are so blessed by him.
15:50: And I'm so blessed that that mom chose life. I'm so blessed that she trusted me, that she trusted me to help her through her pregnancy and to care for him.
16:08: And he's one. He's one. Well, he's number 10 and he is full of energy.
16:18: And we hadn't had a boy for a while. So it's just, he's a bundle of joy. He is, he's more than what
16:28: I expected. He's right on track with kids his age. He's not been affected by anything that she was doing.
16:39: He's perfect. So this is actually, to my mind, a historic site.
17:02: It's one, it's a place where one of the giants of the faith of our generation has stood and ministered for 16 years.
17:11: It's a really incredible spot. This is the Orlando Women's Center. I've only been here for a little bit as we're getting everything set up to do this for you so you can see this place.
17:22: And just in being here for a short time, I've already seen several mothers and fathers going in and out.
17:30: I've watched two women who came in here to kill their children, stumble out and sort of be carried out by the fathers of the children.
17:42: And so it really can be a devastating emotional experience to be out here, to be so close.
17:52: We've been in this for maybe about a decade, preaching the gospel at abortion mills, raising up churches to go and save lives.
18:00: Thousands of children have been saved through the work of the churches through End Abortion Now who have come out to preach the gospel, to offer help and hope and love to mothers and fathers who are going in to kill their children.
18:11: But where we're at, we can't get this close to the abortion mill. So this for me is a really powerful experience, not just because of how close you can be to the mothers and the fathers who are going in there to kill their children, how close you can be to the paid assassin who's out back smoking and to the staff that are out there smoking in between killing children.
18:38: But it's an amazing place to be because of what's taken place at this location.
18:44: John Barrows is my hero of the faith. One of my heroes of the faith.
18:50: He's been out here faithfully. He's been a silent hero for so long, every single day coming out here to preach the gospel to these mothers and fathers to plead for the lives of their children.
19:00: He's been doing it for 16 years. I call him a silent hero because he was doing this and he was faithful out here every single day.
19:07: Before people really cared about who he was or had cameras on him or could do live feeds out here, he was just saving children by the thousands before it was cool.
19:21: And so many miracles have happened here at the Orlando Women's Center. Too many miracles to actually talk about right now on this particular clip.
19:30: But miracles happening, I mean, even every day, I've talked to the two men that are out here today and they've already seen,
19:36: I think two or three saves today just by being here, being faithful, standing on the truth and preaching
19:43: Christ. But I wanted to show you this. This for me is a moment that I will never forget.
19:51: John's one of my heroes. He's inspired me to do this work and abortion now exists in many ways because of his testimony and his work.
19:58: But I've wanted to come here for so long to experience just being here at the place where God has moved to save thousands of children from death over so many years.
20:09: And I've wanted to come here because, well, because of this.
20:16: This is actually a very, very powerful thing. John, many of you guys know, stands on crutches.
20:24: So not only does he come to the abortion mill to preach the gospel to save lives all day long. And let me just tell you right now, it's hot out here.
20:30: It's hot, it's not comfortable. But he stands on crutches and he's been here for so long, so faithfully been here for so long, for 16 years, that he's literally worn the sidewalk down.
20:44: He's worn the sidewalk down right in front of the doors where the mothers and fathers are going in to kill their children.
20:52: This has been his station right here. This is his spot. And this is where the gospel has come from, this worn down sidewalk right into those doors, into those mothers and fathers in there who are gonna kill their children.
21:09: The gospel has come out from this spot so many thousands of times, and God has saved so many thousands of children.
21:17: To my mind, this ought to be a monument. It is a monument. It is a monument.
21:24: It's a monument to one man's faithfulness, to a silent hero, a man who's given his life for these children.
21:34: And I was saying this earlier, so many thousands of children are gonna go through their whole lives and never even hear the story of the hero who saved their lives.
21:42: Many of the mothers and fathers who turned away from killing the children aren't gonna tell their child, I was gonna kill you and then this man stopped me.
21:51: They'll never tell them. Who knows? God knows. John knows.
21:57: Those mothers and fathers know. But their children, they won't know that their life is a reality because of one man's faithfulness in this hot sun outside of this one place of death for so many years.
22:15: And there's a monument to his heroic acts. There's a monument to his faithfulness.
22:23: And it truly is incredible because I don't know if it comes through on the camera like it does when you're here.
22:33: But if you feel the sidewalk all around here, it's consistent, it's rough.
22:39: But as soon as you move over here, John has stood here and you can see where he's worn the sidewalk down and even where when he was standing on his crutches, he's worn the sidewalk down to where this is white, but it's not just white, he's literally worn it down to where there's holes in the concrete.
23:01: You can feel this man's faithfulness, the monument to it. All of this dark and consistent and then the concrete just worn down from the weight of his body, pushing into those crutches, leaving a mark of gospel faithfulness going through those doors.
23:24: And it's powerful because wouldn't it be amazing if one day like this was an actual historic site?
23:33: I think it ought to be. I know it is in God's mind. But to me, this is one of the most precious moments of my life to be able to see this because this man and his silent faithfulness, the silent hero was out here preaching the gospel to these women saving lives long before most of us got involved in this.
23:55: There are many heroes besides John, don't forget that. But many of us today who are out preaching the gospel and saving lives are doing it in a particular context that's just so different.
24:06: John and others like him were out here as silent heroes before most of us had woken up.
24:13: And here's the monument to his faithfulness. I'm so glad I got to touch it.
24:20: And you can not just hear this story. You can not just hear this story and say, oh, that was amazing.
24:30: Praise God for this man and move on. Don't do that.
24:36: Don't do that. We're a part of this now as the church with the gospel to save lives and preach the gospel.
24:45: This is about the truth. This isn't merely a political situation.
24:51: I'm not trying to draw on your heartstrings. There's real children being slaughtered inside this location and others like it that are near you.
25:02: You can be a part of what God is doing to save children and to bring the gospel into conflict with the issue of abortion.
25:13: All right, I've been asked to give five tips on how to get started in abortion ministry. Everywhere you go, everything's gonna be a little bit different, but these are five things that I think are pretty essential.
25:27: Number one, I think that the best deal is when we are able to own that abortion clinic.
25:33: When you're able to get somebody there full time to head up the ministry there.
25:39: I'm so thankful that there's people around the country now that are doing that, but it's very important to own that place.
25:46: I'm at my abortion clinic every day and there's people that can come and minister. They know that they're gonna be in Orlando that day or a certain day for some other doctor's appointment or something.
25:59: So they know though that they can come by that clinic and minister there for an hour or two or do whatever on any day.
26:06: And then once everybody knows that you're there, then it flows that people would come down and minister with you.
26:14: It's very important that you have the local church behind you and that you're supported and fed and taken care of by the people in your church that they agree with you, that they're behind this type of ministry, that they believe that the church should be down fighting for the lives of innocent babies and that the gospels should be brought to such a wicked place.
26:42: Now, I know there's a lot of people whose churches aren't behind them for that, but I would suggest then that you try to find another church.
26:52: I know that I wouldn't be able to do what I do if I didn't have the support, love and care of not only the leaders in my church, but also the members of my church.
27:03: Well, they provide care, prayer, love. They support financially.
27:09: They also have a support for the people that choose life. There's a group of women at our church that when someone chooses life at the abortion clinic, you can turn them over to them and they'll be discipled, they'll be taken care of, they'll become involved in their lives.
27:30: And it's a very important, very important thing. Another thing that you need to do is to know scripture, especially scripture that pertains to the ministry down at the mill.
27:44: That God tells us in Romans 1 that the gospel is the power of God.
27:51: So when we come there, our two weapons are our prayer and God's word.
27:58: And those are the tools that he has instituted for us to fight this fight with.
28:05: So you don't wanna go down there without a sword. You don't wanna go get into a battle without a sword.
28:10: So just study as much as you can of scriptures that pertain to what
28:16: God thinks of abortion, what the consequences of it are, his faithfulness to everyone that is obedient and commits themselves to him and repents of it.
28:28: Always have and always be looking, never quit looking actually for resources. I'm fortunate that I have several pregnancy centers in the
28:38: Orlando area, but we also have people in our church that do and everything from adoption to just taking care of whatever needs they have.
28:50: But just always know what you can. Now it takes time. I know if you're gonna go start at a brand new place, it's gonna take you time to figure all these things out, but the
29:01: Lord will lead you in it. It's very important too that you have follow up with these ladies as much as they'll let you into their lives.
29:11: There's a dear lady that comes down and helps the clinic where I'm at. Her name's Karen. She has
29:17: Bible studies and everything for people that choose life and tries to disciple them and tries to lead them all to Christ and be involved evangelistically in their families as well.
29:34: That is really important because so many of them, if you're not careful, can fall through the cracks.
29:40: Even when you are really trying to not let anybody fall through the cracks, it can happen.
29:47: So you want people that can take care of that thing. Like all
29:52: I can do myself personally is I go to an abortion clinic and I try to speak to people as they're arriving and then
30:03: I preach the word and then they come out and someone chooses life.
30:11: Pray with them and send them on their way with resources. But I can't be involved in all these people's lives.
30:22: And the people that, I'm just like the mouth and then there's all these other people that are hearts and hands and arms that are so desperately important.
30:35: And that is the key to truly having a ministry.
30:41: It's a whole package. These are just a few points that I was asked to bring out and I would just encourage you to research it all yourself.
34:36: Not only did you save one generation. Oh, thank you. Not only did you save my first granddaughter, because that she lived,
34:44: I am a great grandmother and my mother is a great, great grandmother. Praise the Lord. Praise God.
34:51: And they all are doing well. And I just thank you for your ministry. Because my mother had me to commit abortion when
35:00: I was 16 and I did not want to have it, but my mother made me have it.
35:06: And because of that, I am so desperately thankful that my daughter did not commit an abortion here.
35:18: And she had my granddaughter, her name is Jocelyn. And Jocelyn is on her second baby.
35:24: She's a great grandmother. Praise Jesus. That's awesome. I want to tell you that, thank you for all of this.
35:30: I want to tell you. So, your endeavors is not unheard and all the people who say the mean things, it's not in her life.
35:38: Even though my mother had me to have an abortion, but at that time, back in the day, they didn't want the girls to get pregnant and my mother was fearful.
35:47: And praise God, he's forgiving. Oh, oh. Because we've all done things that we need to be forgiving.
35:53: I'm on my way to prayer right now. Oh, yeah. Hi, I'm Jeff Durbin, pastor of Apologia Church and the head of endabortionnow .com.
36:01: I am so excited to present to you what God has done over the last year through your prayers and your support, all that you've done to partner with us as a
36:09: Christian church, trying to equip other Christian churches globally to save lives at the abortion mill and to establish justice, immediate justice for these pre -born children.
36:19: Years ago, when we started this ministry, we told you that we were a Christian church that wanted to make this about the gospel.
36:25: We did not want to work with the pro -life industry who are trying to regulate the issue of abortion. We wanted to establish justice, to abolish this, to criminalize it and to end it once and for all.
36:34: When we first started, we told you that we wanted to raise churches up to equip them completely for free.
36:40: We wanted to educate them. We wanted to provide for them all the resources to go out and to save lives at the abortion mill.
36:45: As of today, over 615 local churches have signed up. They have been equipped.
36:51: They have been trained. They've gotten free resources. We haven't taken anything from these churches. We've wanted only to give to them.
36:57: And through your support, we've been able to equip them and train them and give them all their resources to save lives completely for free.
37:05: Over 615 churches, countless lives have been saved at this point. Thousands upon thousands of lives are being saved and they continue to be saved on a regular basis because of what you did with us.
37:18: You gave to this church to equip these churches. And now thousands of children are alive because of that.
37:24: We knew that we needed to create a media ministry that was a platform that could communicate consistently on this issue of abortion from a consistent
37:32: Christian perspective that worked towards the end, the criminalization and the abolition of abortion in our nation.
37:39: We knew that we needed to speak with the gospel demanding immediate justice to our legislators. We started a movement across the country of Christians going to the legislature and demanding immediate justice.
37:50: That all has happened. And now we've been able to work with Christians across the country who are working with their legislators to criminalize the issue of abortion.
37:59: Right now in the state of Arizona, we have a representative who is presenting a bill to criminalize, not regulate to end the issue of abortion in the state of Arizona.
38:08: Roe V. Wade is a court opinion. It does not have the force of law. It is not a law. And that is admitted now.
38:16: Number one, we don't know exactly what she would do. All the expectation is that she may very well move to overview overrule
38:26: Roe. The only responsible response to that would be to pass legislation making
38:31: Roe the law of the land. That's what I would do. We needed to educate believers that Roe V.
38:37: Wade is a court opinion and states need to reject an unjust ruling by judges in the 1970s.
38:45: We knew that we needed to actually approach this consistently in a way that was different than the pro -life industry has, where they're working towards regulation and not the ultimate criminalization of abortion.
38:56: They call mothers and fathers who have abortions victims themselves. You'll never end abortion with that mindset, with that worldview.
39:04: The pro -life industry refuses to call abortion murder, what Christians would call it. We've wanted to raise churches up to actually equip them to focus on this issue as Christians, not with neutrality, but with the gospel demanding immediate justice.
39:19: We've been able to do that through your support. Over 615 local churches now out saving thousands of lives.
39:25: We have now established other media ministries. We, through your support, have actually given numerous churches their own media kit where they're actually gonna be able to produce their own content, just like Apologia Studios.
39:37: We've given them high -end cameras and recording equipment, sound equipment, tripods, lenses, so they can do what we're doing to broaden the reach of the voices of those within the
39:48: Christian church who can speak to this issue with consistency as Christians for the end of abortion.
39:55: We've been able to raise up churches in Ireland, Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland and in Scotland who are speaking to this issue as Christians in Ireland, in Australia, in New Zealand, in Canada.
40:08: God has made this movement global and it's happened because of your support with us. I wanna speak to you from the heart here.
40:16: We are not trying to create an industry. I long for the day when we shut all this down and don't ask for another penny to support these churches and to criminalize this issue.
40:26: We are working as a Christian church to criminalize this and to establish justice and to save lives.
40:32: You've helped us to do that and you've helped us to do it in a way where we've been no burden to the churches, we've just helped them, equipped them.
40:41: You did that, you supported us, you prayed and right now we have legislators in Indiana, South Carolina, Texas, Oklahoma and in Arizona who are going to be putting in bills to criminalize abortion, to resist
40:55: Roe versus Wade and to criminalize abortion at the state level. It's gonna be happening here in Arizona.
41:02: It's already being submitted and all of that's happening because of the work of endabortionnow .com
41:09: and other believers across the country who are trying to establish justice, true justice for these pre -born children.
41:16: Will you join us again in 2021? Of course, pray for us. Of course, please sign up at endabortionnow .com
41:23: with your church, save some lives with us. There's Christians all over the country that need you to join us.
41:29: We need your help to save lives but also partner with us so we can equip more churches, develop more media ministries to speak to this issue in the public square together and to once and for all criminalize abortion in our nation.
41:43: Help us to meet our matching donation for 2020. Help us through 2021 to save more lives and to end the slaughter of these innocent pre -born children in the womb.
41:55: When you give to endabortionnow .com, you're giving to equip local churches to save lives.
42:00: That's all there is to it. Lives are being saved every single day across the country and around the world now because of believers just like you who gave.
42:10: You are helping to raise churches up and you are saving lives. You're helping to establish media ministries like Apologia Studios that are speaking to this issue consistently, that are raising up Christians, that are helping to actually end, to criminalize the issue of abortion.
42:27: You're helping us to actually train and equip Christians to do what we've been able to do across the country now.
42:33: Christians have been able to talk to their legislators and demand immediate justice. Just think about this.
42:38: 10 years ago, we weren't in a place that we are now where we have legislators who are actually saying, end it.
42:46: It's over. We're criminalizing this. We're abolishing it. Now we're here.
42:51: Christians have been working so faithfully in this area and you can partner with a ministry like Apologia through End Abortion Now to raise up churches, to bring the message of the gospel into conflict with abortion, and to bring the message of immediate justice to legislatures across the country like this one.
43:09: It's happening in Arizona right now. We have people all over the country now who are in this.
43:15: This is unprecedented in our time to see so many changes right on the line.
43:23: And I just wanna reiterate again, I am so looking forward to the day as a pastor where we never do another one of these videos except just to celebrate what
43:31: God has done. We never ask for another penny. The pro -life industry is an industry.
43:37: It's a business. When you give this to the church, the church can work with the gospel to end this issue and never ask for another penny.
43:46: Brothers and sisters, will you give? Help us to match our donation so we can fund all the work for 2021.
43:54: Will you help us in this moment in time to work to the end of abortion as the
43:59: Christian church? Help us to work in such a way that we end this, we don't regulate it, we criminalize it, and establish justice for our pre -born neighbors now.
44:09: That's what's happening. So many churches, so many lives saved. Now, more media ministries than ours able to speak to this with good quality content, with a consistent message, and working with the legislators to criminalize this issue in our country.
44:25: Will you partner with a Christian church that makes this about the gospel, that makes this about ending abortion once and for all?
44:33: We can celebrate together when we never ask for another penny from a
44:39: Christian to end this issue because it's ended. Go to endabortionnow .com,
44:46: sign up with your church to join us in saving lives. Go to endabortionnow .com to give towards the work of 2021.
44:54: All of your giving goes towards raising up churches, saving lives, creating media content and media ministries to speak to this issue, and to training churches to actually end this at the legislature.
45:07: Join us for 2021, brothers and sisters. I'd be so grateful if you did. Oh yeah.
45:45: Let me know when you're going, we'll just wing it. Let me know when you're going, we'll just wing it. The very first thing that she said to us, or said to me was,
45:56: I quit and I'm willing to tell you whatever you wanna know. And that's before any offer.
46:02: Before any offer. That was before, it took her several attempts to reach me because we're not friends and I didn't see the message come across.
46:11: And so she reiterated it. And I thought, well, great, we can at least meet and it'll give me an opportunity to find out where she's at and share the gospel with her.
46:23: So Kim and I took her out to lunch on Tuesday of last week and sat with her for like an hour and a half while she just told us details about what was happening.
46:35: They were very helpful information for us to have, but I knew Marcus was coming to town. So I'm like, this is providential.
46:42: Maybe she'll agree to it. I didn't really know that she would, but she did agree to it.
46:48: We don't believe that she was saved or that she quit because she's against abortion, but you and a group that you're with decide to help her out.
46:55: Well, I used to work at Home Women's Health Fort Worth and ended up leaving due to the fact that, well, there's a lot of reasons why, but the straw that broke the camel's back was made me pick between my small child versus them is basically what it came down to.
47:13: And I chose child. So they didn't win that battle. They were increasing the hours. They were becoming increasingly more, before they were more,
47:22: I guess, more accommodating would be the best word to use, more accommodating to people's schedules and people that have kids versus the ones that didn't because they can do whatever they wanted to.
47:31: And it got to the point where if the accommodations just stopped, they wouldn't even listen to them, just said no.
47:37: And it came down to, well, you can pick your kid or us. So I'm like, well, kid wins.
47:44: But I got the impression from the interview that she did not quit out of an opposition to abortion. I think she's been on the wire, on the line with it.
47:52: But I think in the interview, it came out that she wasn't really opposed to it. But so I believe that she quit for practical reasons.
47:59: So with the increasing hours, the reason behind that is - More patients.
48:04: More patients. So they can fit in more people within their certain timeline.
48:10: Because they were seeing so many people during one time. Well, hey, if we open up more slots, we can see even more people.
48:16: And people that maybe have to go to work, but they can't come in at four o 'clock in the afternoon, two o 'clock in the afternoon, whatever it may be.
48:22: So if we open them up after six, six or seven, and we start seeing patients maybe about 740, stop having them scheduled at 740, 730, then we can see more people and squeeze more people even in.
48:35: She did share with us some information that I think would be helpful. And one of the things that we don't know because we're never in there, but she said that the people inside can hear every word that you're saying when you're preaching, especially on the amplification.
48:48: Depending on how, depending on where someone was. So if you were on the, you're facing the building, if you're on the left -hand side of the building, we could hear you pretty well.
48:58: That's very helpful when we're out there with an amplifier and we can say, hey, if you're there right now, you know, you need to get out of there.
49:06: And we can speak more directly to that situation. Very helpful. Are there women who like are upset because they know they're killing their child?
49:15: Do you think there's women in there that don't know it's a child? About a 50 -50 on that one.
49:23: I think some of them, maybe they're in denial, maybe. It'd be probably the best way to put it, is denial about it.
49:32: And then there's some in there that come in, like they've been there several times and they know exactly what they're doing.
49:40: They know exactly what's going on. And they're like, okay, just get it done. I don't care. I was always on the fence with it.
49:49: I think I reconciled it a little bit because I didn't actually go in the room rooms when they were doing anything.
49:54: So I think that's kind of how I, you know, played it out in my head. Because I was like, I was either working in the front office doing paperwork.
50:00: Like, you know, I'm just looking at a bunch of paper all day. Or I'm just taking some vitals here and there or doing this, this and take, maybe drawing some blood.
50:07: Other than that, I wasn't having anything really to inadvertently with it. What I thought was interesting too, is that they insulate the staff from that.
50:16: There's only very few people who get to see the gruesome part of it. And I think that's to insulate them for what they're actually doing.
50:23: Although they know it, but I think it, you know, it makes it even more real to them when they see that. What you're bringing to light here is that they're not treating, they're treating the patients badly.
50:31: They're treating their own staff badly. Yeah, they're just trying to get people in and out, like as quickly as possible.
50:38: Because of their money, it's all money. Yeah, because if they can get them in and out, especially, then they also push the surgical. They push that one more.
50:46: Yeah, it doesn't make more money. Well, it's not even that they make more money, especially when like they're like, say someone's seven weeks, right?
50:54: They're not going to make more money off someone doing surgical versus the medication. They're not going to, because they're the same price.
51:00: They're the exact same price. So no matter which way you flipped it, they're the exact same. And they push the surgical because apparently there's like a quota he has to meet for the surgicals themselves.
51:12: Not so much the medication, but for the surgical. I'm not sure why. I never was told why.
51:17: I just was told that we really need to push surgicals or whatever because of...
51:23: Well, that would be, that's where I would wonder about the whole selling stuff. They take it to the bathroom.
51:33: There's a dirty path and a clean path. So she takes the jar and dumps it into that little, like a little,
51:39: I thought it was like a colander. It's like one of those things you kind of like, almost like pull out of something from a deep fryer.
51:45: And the best way I can describe it, it's kind of like that metal wiry mesh kind of deal.
51:51: And then they rinse it out. And then I know that from there, they end up dumping it onto a light table that you'd use for drawing.
51:57: And then they'd put it on there to make sure. And sometimes the doctor would actually ask to verify.
52:04: I'm not sure exactly. To verify they got everything. Yeah. He would have, he would come in like, okay. I guess he had like a little once over and then, okay.
52:11: And then from there, I know they would put it in a biohazard bag. Sometimes I've seen the biohazard bag and then put it in the freezer.
52:19: And then it sits in the freezer till whoever it is that comes to pick it up. And one time that freezer actually went out.
52:28: That was horrible. We ended up having to buy a new freezer and have it sent in.
52:34: Like she literally went to like Costco or something and bought like another small, cause it's not very big. It's about yay wide freezer and about as tall as the table.
52:43: So it's not, it's not a very large freezer. They keep in there. When it goes out, obviously it stinks in there.
52:51: Yeah. Yeah. Whenever you would open that dirty path door, it was bad. It was really, really bad.
52:57: Just the door to the room. Yeah. Cause the room was sealed pretty well in the first place.
53:03: So it was only, you only got to smelt it whenever someone had to open that door. I can just imagine that, you know, the feeling inside that these babies that they had murdered were going to start to stink and that there was a bit of a panic for them to get another freezer.
53:19: I thought that was a really telling of what goes on there. Very telling. It's the reality that of bloodshed and murder.
53:26: It's the evidence. Based on what she was saying, it really kind of matches up with the David Daleiden videos that keeping those remains in the freezer, what other purpose would there be for the quotas, right?
53:43: It's horrific, right? I mean, imagine you're trying to make sure you've got all the pieces of a dead baby.
53:51: New at noon, an important appeals court ruling on the Texas law requiring doctors to perform abortions to show sonograms to patients.
54:00: Now, federal appeals court in New Orleans says that Texas can enforce the law.
54:05: With the sonograms, what are they showing the women? What are they showing? They only show them if they ask.
54:12: Okay. So if they ask, then they show. And I had a couple of patients that came in and they asked me, can
54:17: I see it? I'm like, yeah, that's fine. You can see it. No one's like, I'm not gonna stop you from seeing it. If you wanna see it, just tell them, hey,
54:23: I'll tell her in the hallway, make sure that she's aware that you already wanna see it. And I would do that at least.
54:31: I know other people probably wouldn't have done it, but I would be like, okay, well, hey, this patient in room one wants to be able to see the sonogram and just heads up.
54:38: And I'm like, oh, okay. And then, but if they don't want, if anyone tells them beforehand or they don't tell them, they won't see it.
54:45: They won't show it. Okay, well, the fetal Doppler, since our sonomachines don't do anything with that cause they're old.
54:53: Yeah, well, one's a little newer, one's a little older, but they don't have that capability of like sound. So they don't have the sound capability.
55:01: And I don't know if that was by coincidence or what, but the fetal, so they have to have, since their sonomachines don't do that, they have to have the fetal
55:09: Dopplers in each room that they have procedures in order to, if say that they wanna hear the heartbeat, they'll be able to hear a heartbeat.
55:18: I've never, they're still in the box as far as last time I checked. Cause I have never seen anyone busted out of the box, like brand spanking new, like brand new, still in the box.
55:30: I think it still has like the paper stuff like wrapped around it. Well, what you're seeing there in that interview is what we said in Babies Are Still Murdered here, that the industry, the abortion industry can, they don't have to follow these pro -life regulations.
55:48: There's loopholes. And this is just proof of what we were talking about there, that these pro -life regulations will not, they're unenforceable, completely unenforceable.
56:01: They do what they want with those loopholes to fit what they're trying to do, make money.
56:09: And again, there's no one that's really standing over his shoulder, making sure the Texas state law regarding some of them.
56:16: Who's supposed to be doing it is the clinic manager, but she's, I don't know, she's gone doing whatever, so.
56:22: Okay, but she doesn't, so she's normally not doing that. Yeah, she's normally either running around like a chicken with her head cut off, or she's not even there, or she's just hanging out in her office talking to one of the other managers, and yeah.
56:36: So that's not happening from the office manager standpoint? Oh yeah. So, yeah, okay.
56:41: Even though these types of clinics are the enemy, I mean, we as Christians have to be fair to them.
56:47: This was one woman. One woman. We didn't have a corroborating testimony from her, so we believe that she has no reason to lie, and what she says might not have been accurate.
56:56: I mean, I trust what she said, but we have to keep in mind that this is uncorroborated testimony, and we have to give them that benefit as Christians, even though they are the enemy.
57:04: A few months ago, I remember women coming out of the clinic limping really dramatically.
57:10: It looked like probably they had a torn uterus. A bit from just having been out in front of clinics for a long time.
57:17: Right. Just observing and knowing what happens. So, do you know of that happening often there?
57:26: No, it's only happened once, and like the one time since I was there, and that was because a patient was not listening, and they were trying to like, you need to be still.
57:37: We don't want to do anything to hurt you. We need you to be still because there's something sharp and stuff like that. You've got to be still, and she just kept wiggling and everything, and he's like, well,
57:49: I think I just ruptured her uterus because she just wiggled. She literally turned one way and then flipped again really fast, and so he's like, well, okay.
57:59: I think that just happened because she won't be still. So, and then, but the funny thing about that is they only have to,
58:07: I guess, file a report of some kind if he knows for a fact he did it, but if he suspects he did it, they don't have to file a report.
58:20: So, on that one, they suspected. He said, I suspect I did because of the way she was moving and the way she started bleeding.
58:27: I suspect that I might have. So, and then, you know, call an ambulance and all that and get her out of there. Go get her looked at.
58:33: But then he doesn't have to file a report. Yeah, as long as he suspects. Unless he knows, knows, then they have to file a report, but if he says he suspects it, then they don't have to.
58:41: So, there's a loophole built in for them so they can dodge it? Pretty much. Okay. Another loophole.
58:47: Okay. One thing that struck me with interviewing Amanda as well is that if it's not a gospel proclamation,
58:53: I mean, we're thrilled that she quit her job, but if she doesn't repent and put her trust in Jesus Christ, she is no closer to heaven for quitting her job.
59:00: So, our goal is not to get women to quit their jobs. Right. It's not to get women to stop killing their babies.
59:05: Ultimately, we want that, but we want it because we want them to be safe. Because if they don't kill their baby for pragmatic or practical reasons, or they quit for practical reasons, they're still going to hell.
59:15: Right. So, that's why I, you know, you as well believe that we go to the clinics to share the gospel with them because it's a target -rich environment of unbelievers.
59:23: Right. Because I don't believe a true believer would go there and kill their child. Yeah. All we will do from here on out is just continue to minister to her needs and continue to, you know, present the gospel to her.
59:39: My experience before I came to Christ, I was a pastor for about 12 years. And when
59:45: I realized I wasn't even saved, but I was pastoring, I was preaching every Sunday, doing all that. And then
59:50: God revealed through his word that, you know, I was a hypocrite because I was doing one thing, saying one thing, you know, and doing completely different.
01:00:01: And so, you know, my concern about anyone that's there, and obviously
01:00:08: I'm including you, I'm going to be direct, you know, it'd be that, do you really know Christ? You know, knowing him changes us to a degree that, man, we wouldn't even want to be a part of it.
01:00:19: And I understand like coming out of college, you're looking for work and it's the job that opened up. Yeah, it was literally boom, boom.
01:00:27: Like, it was like, I got done with medical assisting school in February, I was there in March.
01:00:32: Right. It was just boom, boom. It was quick. Yeah. But yeah, I mean, the thing I encourage everybody in the
01:00:38: Bible Belt is two questions. Number one, what is the gospel? What's the content of the message?
01:00:44: Well, obviously Christ died for sinners. He rose from the dead. Our sins can be forgiven if we repent and place our faith in him.
01:00:52: But then the second question I think is more important is what difference does that message make in our lives?
01:00:58: And if there's no difference between us and like what is going on in the life of an unbeliever, it doesn't even, maybe an atheist or whatever, then we have reason to be concerned, you know?
01:01:10: And so I say that to you out of concern for you, you know, that you know Christ and that ultimately one day that you're in his presence, you know, apart from, you know, all the garbage that we face in this life.
01:01:25: And so our desire is, you know, hopefully one day God will, you know, if we're,
01:01:32: I don't know your heart, only God knows people's hearts. But, you know, if you're not, if you haven't trusted
01:01:38: Christ, that's our desire is to see that happen. We can't make that happen. Right. We don't do that whole walk the out, pray the prayer thing.
01:01:45: You know, we believe if God's gonna do something, he'll do it. So that's how we leave that. But yeah.
01:01:51: And you know that we're, I've expressed this to you before, but we're available for whatever you need.
01:01:57: You know, as you're looking for a job, we'll help you do that. You know, try to help out where we can.
01:03:31: When we had these people coming in all the time, like literally they were here in February.
01:03:37: And next thing you know, like that name looks familiar. Why does that name look familiar? And then all of a sudden you see it like, wait, oh, that's why it looks familiar.
01:03:44: She was here in February. Now she's back in April. And then, okay, she was here. And then all of a sudden you see the same name again.
01:03:50: Like, what is this? And then like, it's June and she's back again. It's like, do you not understand what's happening here?
01:04:33: Yeah. Once they're in path, they take the, so she takes the jar and dumps it into that little, like a little, it's not really like a colander.
01:04:41: It's like one of those things you kind of like, almost like pull out of something from a deep fryer. And the best way
01:04:46: I can describe it, it's kind of like that metal wiring mesh kind of deal. And then they rinse it out.
01:04:53: And then I know that from there, they end up dumping it onto a light table that you'd use for drawing. Have the two, like small, like,
01:05:03: I guess it would be like a best way to describe it, a casserole dish. Like clear casserole dishes, like really small ones. And then they put it on there to make sure.
01:05:09: And sometimes the doctor would actually ask to verify, it was really sporadic if he did.
01:05:17: It was like here, there. Just, I guess, sometimes if he wasn't sure, I'm not sure exactly.
01:05:23: To verify they got everything? Yeah. He would come in, like, okay. And I guess he had like a little once over.
01:05:29: And then, okay. And then from there, I know they would put it in a biohazard bag. Sometimes I've seen the biohazard bag.
01:05:35: And then put it in the freezer. And then it sits in the freezer until whoever it is that comes to pick it up.
01:05:42: Do you believe in sin? When I say believe, I don't mean believe in committing sin. Do you believe there is such a thing as sin?
01:05:50: I think the greatest sin in the world is bringing children into the world that have disease from their parents, that have no chance in the world to be a human being, practically.
01:06:01: Delinquents, prisoners, all sorts of things, just mocked when they're born. That, to me, is the greatest sin people can commit.
01:07:13: Hey guys, I'm Jeff Durbin. This is Luke Pearson. We are in front of the Margaret Sanger Clinic.
01:07:19: This is actually one very historic site. Literally.
01:07:25: It's literally a historic site, a historic landmark, but historic in terms of the evil, wicked things that began here really shaped the course of the future in the
01:07:37: United States of America and shaped the culture itself. And it really started here at this first legal birth control clinic in the
01:07:47: United States of America. And this was the Birth Control Research, Clinical Research League Bureau.
01:07:55: And this particular location here, Margaret Sanger worked long and hard for a moment, a space in the
01:08:04: United States of America where she could actually promulgate and propagate her worldview, which was a wicked, evil worldview.
01:08:11: Let's be honest. Margaret Sanger is no hero. Oh no. She's lauded as a hero today, but we need to understand who was
01:08:19: Margaret Sanger. Is she the hero everyone thinks that she is? No, not at all. So who was she? What did she believe? So she was born in 1879 to an atheist immigrant father and her mother was
01:08:29: Irish Catholic. She actually was secretly baptized into the Catholic Church when she was a child.
01:08:35: And then when her mother passed away at 17, she went off to boarding school and that's when everything changed for her.
01:08:41: She became all about free love and feminism and socialism.
01:08:47: And she, at that point, began to hate Christianity. And so at the turn of the 19th century, we see at the same time, she's around, right?
01:08:57: You have Stalin, you have Hitler, and you have Mussolini. And the other three, not
01:09:03: Margaret Sanger, the other three are obviously villainized, right? Because they combined approximately 30 million people they murdered.
01:09:11: What's crazy, Margaret Sanger, you're talking about, she's a hero to so many people. She's more than doubled that now because of Planned Parenthood and the amount of people she's killed even before they had a chance to live.
01:09:22: So yeah, it's definitely not a good person by any means. Definitely not a hero. It's definitely someone that we should be telling the truth about.
01:09:29: So we're talking about telling the truth of Margaret Sanger. Margaret Sanger actually believed that there were lower classes of people or lower races of people who were not worthy to be cared about.
01:09:42: They're seen as parasites. And her particular worldview, it wasn't just about birth control.
01:09:48: No. The Birth Control Clinical Research Bureau League, everything she was doing here, it wasn't simply about birth control, taking a pill or a diaphragm.
01:09:58: She was smuggling from overseas. That really wasn't the main point, right? She had a worldview that she was living out.
01:10:05: She was putting legs on. Birth control was just the tip of the iceberg. What was underneath that is that she actually believed,
01:10:11: I know she believed the Slavs. She believes the Eastern Europeans. She believed that black people were actually the lower class of human beings.
01:10:19: Jews. Jews. And she wanted to actually have something with legs on it that would actually help to exterminate and those classes of people.
01:10:32: Exactly. And she actually is on record saying that she wanted to exterminate the Negro population.
01:10:37: Absolutely, yeah. And so is it an accident that we see that in the history of Planned Parenthood and this movement that Margaret Sanger began, that we actually see the abortion clinics, abortion facilities in predominantly lower income areas?
01:10:55: Exactly. Is it an accident we see it right next to where there is a larger population of black people and Hispanic people?
01:11:03: She believed that the Aryan race was the superior race. The fit race. The fit race. Yeah, everyone else was unfit.
01:11:10: Okay. Yeah, and so one of her mentors, Thomas Malthus, he actually taught that we should only allow essentially those to live that were necessary for the desired population and everyone else should be necessarily exterminated.
01:11:26: Right. So if you weren't needed, you should be put to death even before you had a chance to live. So when we talk about sterilization.
01:11:33: Exactly. And that goes along with that. Yeah, absolutely. And so Malthus actually, he wanted to put the unfit, these other races,
01:11:44: Negroes, as they call them, not what I say, Hispanics, whoever that wasn't
01:11:49: Aryan, he wanted to cram them into housing projects, narrow streets, and wanted to introduce the plague to them.
01:11:56: That was his desire. He literally wanted to exterminate them and she was all for that. And speaking of what we have today with Planned Parenthood, like there's a saying that good roots produce good fruit.
01:12:10: Now with Planned Parenthood, bitter roots have produced bitter fruit, right? So I was just reading a little bit ago and so essentially almost half of the black, of black babies are aborted in this nation.
01:12:23: Almost half. Here in New York City, it's over that. It's over half. Right. Of all black babies are aborted in New York City.
01:12:30: So it's exactly what she wanted. Right. Only it hasn't gone quite as far because there's still a black population.
01:12:36: And there's a propaganda machine that makes her dream, I can't believe
01:12:41: I'm touching this right now. I know, it's crazy. That makes her dream, her vision, seem like it's about women's rights and their bodies and their freedom.
01:12:50: When in reality, if you know Margaret Sanger and if you know her worldview, if you know the worldview of the killer angel, then you know that really what's going on behind Planned Parenthood, the women's rights, reproductive rights and my body, my choice, all that, there's something really much deeper beneath that.
01:13:10: She got what she wanted. Like in terms of her believing there was a lower class of human beings, believing that black people ought to be exterminated, believing that they shouldn't propagate as a race, she got what she wanted.
01:13:24: And in particular, we look at New York itself. I mean, in New York, her dream is fulfilled.
01:13:31: I mean, she's wiping out the black population. It's a wicked, evil, disgusting thing.
01:13:37: She was an evil, disgusting, disgraceful human being. And it began, much of it here, right here in this location on this regular old street in New York City, right here, what we're touching right here, this
01:13:51: Margaret Sanger Clinic. You see, worldviews have consequences. Theology matters.
01:13:58: If you were to talk about Margaret Sanger for 60 seconds, if you had 60 seconds to tell somebody about Margaret Sanger and why she was evil and why her vision of the future was wicked, what would you say?
01:14:11: Well, first she was an atheist. She was a socialist. She was a thief, a liar, and an adulterer.
01:14:17: She wanted free love. She abandoned her husband and her children. She stole from Planned Parenthood at one point.
01:14:24: She actually was removed from the board because she was stealing funds that they raised to invest them in the black market.
01:14:30: Like, it just, the list goes on and on. She lied about her resume. She lied about who she was. She actually went as far as to change the record in her mother's family
01:14:39: Bible in order to make herself look better. Like, she was a vile, evil person.
01:14:45: There's nothing righteous about her whatsoever, and yet she still celebrates. She was a Nazi sympathizer.
01:14:50: You look at Stalin and Hitler, both took what she was preaching and applied it to their regimes and the
01:15:00: USSR and, well, I don't know, I guess it was Russia then, and Germany. She actually had Hitler's main guy that was in charge of sterilization and eugenics was on her board at one point.
01:15:12: So she was supportive of all the Third Reich, eliminating the Jews, which is crazy we're saying that because literally right next to us is the, is the, what is this called?
01:15:22: The Center for Jewish History. It's right next door. And she wanted to eliminate them. Yes. Like, it's crazy.
01:15:29: No, that is wild. Right here at the Margaret Sanger Clinic, the first legal birth contraceptive clinic in the
01:15:37: United States of America is literally next door to the Center for Jewish History.
01:15:44: It's insane. Which is, it's amazing that they can be sitting next to each other in terms of everything that she believed about the future.
01:15:52: Her hatred for particular races, particular classes of people is something that's disgusting and it ought to be actually exposed.
01:16:00: Margaret Sanger was no hero. No. Her vision of the future was no utopia. No. I mean, it was a perverse, disgusting,
01:16:08: Nazi -esque utopia, but I think one of the things that most awes me about this is this is just some regular old street in New York City.
01:16:21: And this was not very long ago in our history and so much evil swept across the
01:16:28: United States of America because a woman believed in something evil, but she held to that worldview and she fought for it.
01:16:37: And because you've got this woman who planted here and fought for this, 60 million babies dead in our country because of her movement, because of her belief system.
01:16:47: And if anything I can think of is that there are little pieces of lands, little moments in history where things can legitimately happen.
01:16:58: I mean, not far from here is Stonewall. And so we're actually in a little piece of property in New York where we have the first legal contraceptive clinic in the
01:17:12: United States of America that actually launched the abortion movement to just slaughter babies wholesale.
01:17:19: And then actually Stonewall, the Stonewall riots were not far from here at all.
01:17:25: And there's another movement that actually changed the course of our nation, the culture in our nation.
01:17:31: That came from her essentially. Exactly. So you've got Margaret Sanger, you've got Stonewall and this little part of New York City.
01:17:40: So much happened here that actually recreated the culture in many ways, right?
01:17:45: Yeah, it's crazy. So for me, I think about that as obviously as pastors thinking about the future is that it doesn't take massive armies to change a culture.
01:17:55: It takes people who believe very strongly in what they believe in and they're courageous enough to start standing up and fighting for it.
01:18:02: Now, I wanna say when unbelievers can do that and become national historic landmarks after slaughtering 60 million human beings,
01:18:12: I think we can do it with the gospel and with enough courage and boldness to be willing to lay our lives down to shape the future.
01:18:19: Right. Yeah, we stand on truth, right? We have answers to everything. She stood on atheism, nothing. Nothing.
01:18:24: She had to borrow, right? From our worldview. And this is important. I think especially for where we're at now in our culture with this movement infiltrating the church now, she firmly believed that Christianity in the church was her number one enemy.
01:18:39: Of course. And she sought to destroy the church from within. And her and Malthus and all of her friends, they hated
01:18:49: Christian benevolence and generosity because they saw that as their enemy, right?
01:18:55: They saw the church helping those women that couldn't care for their babies.
01:19:00: She saw them as the enemy. So she encouraged the women to abort their babies, to murder their babies, instead of allowing the church to help.
01:19:08: And unfortunately, the church has fallen right in line with that. Right. And so I think it's pretty eye -opening where we are now.
01:19:15: Again, she's got what she wanted. This is the front. If you look at a lot of the early tracks and propaganda that they were handing out here from this clinic, they would say things like, hey, birth control, don't kill your baby.
01:19:28: Don't take the life of your baby. She was actually arguing against abortion. Just do it, like diaphragms and just take these pills.
01:19:35: And what about this medication? For her early on, it was, because she was propagating her worldview, she can only do it an inch at a time.
01:19:43: So early on, she was actually saying, don't kill your baby. Don't take the life of your baby after you've created the baby.
01:19:49: Just take these pills. Just do these things first. And as soon as she got legalization, as soon as she got into effect, what was seen before as perverse, it really was.
01:19:59: It was against the law because it was seen as perverse. Then that's when it moved. Hi, I'm Jeff Durbin, pastor of Apologia Church and the head of endabortionnow .com.
01:23:18: I am so excited to present to you what God has done over the last year through your prayers and your support, all that you've done to partner with us as a
01:23:26: Christian church, trying to equip other Christian churches globally to save lives at the abortion mill and to establish justice, immediate justice for these preborn children.
01:23:36: Years ago, when we started this ministry, we told you that we were a Christian church that wanted to make this about the gospel.
01:23:42: We did not want to work with the pro -life industry who are trying to regulate the issue of abortion. We wanted to establish justice, to abolish this, to criminalize it, and to end it once and for all.
01:23:52: When we first started, we told you that we wanted to raise churches up to equip them completely for free.
01:23:57: We wanted to educate them. We wanted to provide for them all the resources to go out and to save lives at the abortion mill.
01:24:03: As of today, over 615 local churches have signed up. They have been equipped.
01:24:09: They have been trained. They've gotten free resources. We haven't taken anything from these churches. We've wanted only to give to them.
01:24:14: And through your support, we've been able to equip them and train them and give them all their resources to save lives completely for free.
01:24:22: Over 615 churches, countless lives have been saved at this point. Thousands upon thousands of lives are being saved and they continue to be saved on a regular basis because of what you did with us.
01:24:35: You gave to this church to equip these churches. And now thousands of children are alive because of that.
01:24:41: We knew that we needed to create a media ministry that was a platform that could communicate consistently on this issue of abortion from a consistent
01:24:49: Christian perspective that worked towards the end, the criminalization and the abolition of abortion in our nation.
01:24:56: We knew that we needed to speak with the gospel demanding immediate justice to our legislators. We started a movement across the country of Christians going to the legislature and demanding immediate justice.
01:25:07: That all has happened. And now we've been able to work with Christians across the country who are working with their legislators to criminalize the issue of abortion.
01:25:16: Right now in the state of Arizona, we have a representative who is presenting a bill to criminalize, not regulate, to end the issue of abortion in the state of Arizona.
01:25:26: Roe v. Wade is a court opinion. It does not have the force of law. It is not a law.
01:25:31: And that is admitted now. Number one, we don't know exactly what she would do.
01:25:37: All the expectation is that she may very well move to overview over rule
01:25:43: Roe. The only responsible response to that would be to pass legislation making
01:25:48: Roe the law of the land. That's what I would do. We needed to educate believers that Roe v.
01:25:54: Wade is a court opinion and states need to reject an unjust ruling by judges in the 1970s.
01:26:03: We knew that we needed to actually approach this consistently in a way that was different than the pro -life industry has, where they're working towards regulation and not the ultimate criminalization of abortion.
01:26:14: They call mothers and fathers who have abortions victims themselves. You'll never end abortion with that mindset, with that worldview.
01:26:22: The pro -life industry refuses to call abortion murder, what Christians would call it. We've wanted to raise churches up to actually equip them to focus on this issue as Christians, not with neutrality, but with the gospel demanding immediate justice.
01:26:37: We've been able to do that through your support over 615 local churches now out saving thousands of lives.
01:26:43: We have now established other media ministries. We, through your support, have actually given numerous churches their own media kit where they're actually gonna be able to produce their own content, just like Apologia Studios.
01:26:55: We've given them high -end cameras and recording equipment, sound equipment, tripods, lenses, so they can do what we're doing to broaden the reach of the voices of those within the
01:27:06: Christian church who can speak to this issue with consistency as Christians for the end of abortion.
01:27:12: We've been able to raise up churches in Ireland, Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland and in Scotland who are speaking to this issue as Christians in Ireland, in Australia, in New Zealand, in Canada.
01:27:26: God has made this movement global and it's happened because of your support with us. I wanna speak to you from the heart here.
01:27:33: We are not trying to create an industry. I long for the day when we shut all this down and don't ask for another penny to support these churches and to criminalize this issue.
01:27:44: We are working as a Christian church to criminalize this and to establish justice and to save lives.
01:27:50: You've helped us to do that and you've helped us to do it in a way where we've been no burden to the churches.
01:27:56: We've just helped them, equipped them. You did that. You supported us, you prayed and right now we have legislators in Indiana, South Carolina, Texas, Oklahoma and in Arizona who are going to be putting in bills to criminalize abortion, to resist
01:28:12: Roe versus Wade and to criminalize abortion at the state level. It's gonna be happening here in Arizona.
01:28:20: It's already being submitted and all of that's happening because of the work of endabortionnow .com
01:28:26: and other believers across the country who are trying to establish justice, true justice for these pre -born children.
01:28:33: Will you join us again in 2021? Of course, pray for us. Of course, please sign up at endabortionnow .com
01:28:40: with your church, save some lives with us. There's Christians all over the country that need you to join us.
01:28:46: We need your help to save lives, but also partner with us so we can equip more churches, develop more media ministries to speak to this issue in the public square together and to once and for all criminalize abortion in our nation.
01:29:00: Help us to meet our matching donation for 2020. Help us through 2021 to save more lives and to end the slaughter of these innocent pre -born children in the womb.
01:29:12: When you give to endabortionnow .com, you're giving to equip local churches to save lives.
01:29:18: That's all there is to it. Lives are being saved every single day across the country and around the world now because of believers just like you who gave.
01:29:28: You are helping to raise churches up and you are saving lives. You're helping to establish media ministries like Apologia Studios that are speaking to this issue consistently, that are raising up Christians, that are helping to actually end, to criminalize the issue of abortion.
01:29:44: You're helping us to actually train and equip Christians to do what we've been able to do across the country now.
01:29:50: Christians have been able to talk to their legislators and demand immediate justice. Just think about this.
01:29:56: 10 years ago, we weren't in a place that we are now, where we have legislators who are actually saying, end it.
01:30:04: It's over. We're criminalizing this. We're abolishing it. Now we're here. Christians have been working so faithfully in this area and you can partner with a ministry like Apologia through End Abortion Now to raise up churches, to bring the message of the gospel into conflict with abortion and to bring the message of immediate justice to legislatures across the country like this one.
01:30:26: It's happening in Arizona right now. We have people all over the country now who are in this.
01:30:32: This is unprecedented in our time to see so many changes right on the line.
01:30:40: And I just want to reiterate again, I am so looking forward to the day as a pastor where we never do another one of these videos except just to celebrate what
01:30:49: God has done. We never ask for another penny. The pro -life industry is an industry.
01:30:54: It's a business. When you give this to the church, the church can work with the gospel to end this issue and never ask for another penny.
01:31:03: Brothers and sisters, will you give? Help us to match our donation so we can fund all the work for 2021.
01:31:11: Will you help us in this moment in time to work to the end of abortion as the
01:31:16: Christian church? Help us to work in such a way that we end this, we don't regulate it, we criminalize it and establish justice for our pre -born neighbors now.
01:31:27: That's what's happening. So many churches, so many lives saved. Now, more media ministries than ours able to speak to this with good quality content, with a consistent message and working with the legislators to criminalize this issue in our country.
01:31:42: Will you partner with a Christian church that makes this about the gospel, that makes this about ending abortion once and for all?
01:31:51: We can celebrate together when we never ask for another penny from a
01:31:56: Christian to end this issue because it's ended. Go to endabortionnow .com,
01:32:03: sign up with your church to join us in saving lives. Go to endabortionnow .com to give towards the work of 2021.
01:32:12: All of your giving goes towards raising up churches, saving lives, creating media content and media ministries to speak to this issue and to training churches to actually end this at the legislature.
01:32:25: Join us for 2021, brothers and sisters. I'd be so grateful if you did. It feels good to be out of that heat, doesn't it?
01:32:39: Yes. Summertime is officially here. Hey guys, here at Planned Parenthood in Nashville.
01:32:51: It's hard. It's been a real tough day here. One, it's hot, but man, there's been 30 cars rolled through here and most of them abortions.
01:33:00: So Wednesday now in Nashville has become a huge kill day. So they're killing babies five days a week.
01:33:07: I go two or three days a week and struggle with the fact that, you know, I'll be here tomorrow, but I won't be here on Monday and babies will die on Monday.
01:33:18: It's, you know, if you really believe and know that's what's happening, how can you not do something?
01:33:28: Don't go in. Let's go to the Hope Clinic. Can we guide you to the Hope Clinic, please?
01:33:36: Can we guide you to the Hope Clinic? She's going in.
01:33:44: And so part of me going out there is it also gives me an excuse to engage everybody on the street.
01:33:50: And that's why I talk to everybody on the street. I wave at everybody. I'm looking for opportunities to not just save a baby and rescue a life there, but to bring life to somebody that doesn't understand the kingdom, the good news of the kingdom.
01:34:06: The sad thing is I'm standing here on the chair, just on the other side of the fence. There's a car on the other side.
01:34:12: And I came in on the conversation and it turns out, man, he's listening and responsive, but it's too late.
01:34:19: His child's already dead. Because I've had, I mean, through four years of conversations, I've had some really good ones where I've been successful.
01:34:26: And then there's times where I've just bombed and it doesn't keep me from coming back. You learn.
01:34:32: Let's go get a free ultrasound, free pregnancy test. She's gonna let her baby live? Yes!
01:34:40: Let's say a year from now, abortion is over. Yeah. Everywhere in the country. What did it take from now until one year for that to happen?
01:34:52: For the church to unite. Not only, when I say the church,
01:34:58: I think the African -American community within the church has to rise up.
01:35:04: I'm against racism. Huh? Call me, man. Call me. Hey, Tony, ask this discord about Margaret Sanger.
01:35:11: Ask her who Margaret Sanger is. Who looked at black people as animals. You know, I test this every day.
01:35:17: I asked the question of Margaret Sanger today. I did it multiple times. But very few people in the
01:35:23: African -American community have ever heard that name. They just don't know. They don't have the knowledge of who she is and how this whole concept is based upon racism.
01:35:34: Ask the Lord, really, every day, is this what you want me to do? And so, he's burned it into my heart to do it.
01:35:45: I think until it's done. My name's
01:35:54: Christina. We are in Raleigh, North Carolina. So a year, a year this past October, we've been going out.
01:36:03: Every Monday is our day. Well, initially, my husband.
01:36:11: So we came across some videos, Abortion Now videos on YouTube.
01:36:17: And actually, it was the desire to go to the city council meetings at first is what really was kind of like our thought process.
01:36:28: And then God did a miraculous thing one weekend and we watched Babies Are Murdered here.
01:36:34: And then we, Patti Smith somehow, visited our church that same weekend.
01:36:41: And so we got to meet Patti and Scott Smith and we did some street preaching with them like that day.
01:36:48: And then we trained with them for like six weeks on how they do abortion meal ministry.
01:36:53: And then we've just been doing it faithfully ever since. It's truly gospel centered.
01:37:03: They are not ashamed of the gospel. They're calling people to repentance. They're pointing out that this is murder, that this is sin.
01:37:12: We now have a actual resource center from Raleigh that is trying to do sidewalk ministry next to us.
01:37:20: It's kind of sad, it's sad to see. Their focus is on just sharing snacks and smiling and waving.
01:37:30: And their message is one of, we know you have a hard decision to make and we just wanna give you other options, as if abortion is still an option when it should not be an option at all because it's murder.
01:37:45: So murder should never be an option. So the pro -life message is weak.
01:37:50: It's a weak message and it's not Christ -centered and it's not biblical. If you're giving to a resource center,
01:37:57: I would say stop that and give to end abortion now because they are legit.
01:38:04: They are Christ -centered, standing on the word of God and not ashamed of Jesus. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
01:38:19: How are you guys? Good to see everybody. Praise God, thank you for having me. I'm just gonna read a scripture for you real fast.
01:38:27: If you would just take a moment to pay close attention to this. Proverbs 24, verse 11.
01:38:36: Here's what it says. Rescue those who are being taken away to death. Hold back those who are stumbling to the slaughter.
01:38:45: If you say, behold, we did not know this. Does not he who weighs the heart perceive it?
01:38:52: Does not he who keeps watch over your soul know it? And will he not repay man according to his work?
01:39:00: That's a powerful text of scripture and if you heard it, you heard, that's you and that's me.
01:39:09: Rescue those who are being led away to the slaughter, being taken away to death. And the answer from scripture, from the
01:39:16: God of this scripture, the God that established this nation, is that if you say, we didn't know, we didn't know.
01:39:25: It says, doesn't he who weighs the hearts know it? Doesn't he know that we know? And will he not repay man according to his deeds?
01:39:35: It's a powerful text of scripture. It's a challenging text of scripture that challenged us.
01:39:40: I'm a pastor of a church in Phoenix. It challenged us about a decade ago. Of course, we were
01:39:45: Christian. Of course, we were pro -life. Of course, we thought the pro -life industry was doing their duty to end abortion in our nation and we learned that they're not.
01:39:55: Their focus is regulation, not abolition. It's regulation and not criminalization.
01:40:01: They have professed themselves that they are not Christian institutions. They are not standing on scripture.
01:40:08: And we learned very early on that if we're gonna end this, we need to end it with courage as Christians, first and foremost.
01:40:15: First and foremost. Have you all noticed, I'm sure you've noticed lately, none of us can deny this now.
01:40:21: Have you noticed lately that the radical left, those who would be self -professed unbelievers do not want to compromise on their positions?
01:40:32: They say, this is our position. This is what we're fighting for. This is what we're doing. And have you noticed that conservatives, those who profess to be followers of Christ even, are the ones who are always compromising, the ones who will not exhibit courage, courage enough to believe this.
01:40:50: If you are not with me, you are against me. Those are the words of Jesus. If you're not with me, you are against me.
01:40:59: I wanna encourage you guys to think about something for a moment. This man over here, Walt Blackman, he's not just a good man, a strong man, a courageous man.
01:41:07: I want you to know this, and you're gonna be seeing this a lot in our state over the next couple of months. This man is the hero of the children in Arizona.
01:41:17: And I wanna explain to you why. Many of you may not even know this. It hasn't become fully public yet completely so that everyone can know about it.
01:41:26: Right now in Arizona, please hear this, this is massive. It is earth -shattering and it is mind -altering, trust me.
01:41:34: In Arizona, it's never been changed. AZ Statute 13 -3603.
01:41:40: AZ Statute 13 -3603 makes abortion a criminal act in Arizona.
01:41:47: It has never been changed. This man, this man, the hero of the children in Arizona is gonna point to that statute and establish that law so that abortion is not regulated in Arizona, it is a criminal act.
01:42:05: Abortion is murder. We are human from conception.
01:42:14: Listen closely, you win this argument. There is no way to surmount this argument and outdo it, overcome it.
01:42:23: Number one, biblically speaking, God says that he's the creator of life. He knits us together in our mother's womb.
01:42:29: We are human beings, image of God from conception, that cannot be disputed. Number two, biologically speaking, it is a matter of scientific fact that from the moment of conception, the moment of conception, you are human from that very moment.
01:42:46: The only difference from that moment to where you are now is a difference of degree, size, level of development, environment and degree of dependence.
01:42:55: All this talk about black lives matter. I wanna know if the black lives in the womb matter because the black community is the community most in danger from extermination via abortion.
01:43:14: We have about 3 ,000 human beings exterminated, murdered.
01:43:19: Listen, I know we're trying to have a good time and a good rally here, but I gotta be honest and courageous enough to tell the truth.
01:43:26: Every day in our nation, in our streets, in our neighborhoods, every single day, 3 ,000, about 3 ,000 human beings lose their lives.
01:43:36: They have their heads cut off, their arms taken off their bodies, their legs taken off their bodies, and they are disemboweled every single day.
01:43:48: And I wanna grant something as a minister of the gospel. That is not something any of us can fully comprehend.
01:43:55: All we can do is think about it one baby at a time. So we started going out as a church many years ago with the gospel of Jesus Christ first and foremost to the abortion mills.
01:44:05: We said, number one, mom and dad, please don't murder your child. Number two, there is hope in Christ, forgiveness in Christ.
01:44:12: And number three, we will help you. We will pay for everything. We'll even adopt your child. Because of that work, we've raised up 500 churches globally doing the same.
01:44:23: And as of today, thousands and thousands and thousands of children are alive today because of that work.
01:44:33: I have a son who is eight months old. He's adopted.
01:44:39: He was gonna be exterminated and aborted. We have children who are at my church.
01:44:45: They show up before the pulpit running around circles in front. Olivia Grace and Cara, twin girls saved from Tempe's Planned Parenthood because Christians went out with the gospel of Jesus Christ and offered to help and called it what it is.
01:44:59: This is murder and we won't tolerate it anymore. And so what I wanna ask of you is this, is to consider this.
01:45:05: What's happening in our country is very simply this. It is a collision of worldviews.
01:45:12: It is the world and life view of those who stand on this revelation as the truth of the living God. This is the objective standard and those who deny it.
01:45:21: Did you know that this nation, the constitution, the Bill of Rights, the reason that is so meaningful and brought so much peace and freedom and justice is because the principles behind all those things come directly from this book.
01:45:36: This book. The people who established this nation, the
01:45:41: Huguenots, the pilgrims, the Puritans, the Christians who came over and established this nation.
01:45:46: Did you know this? Did you know this? In the colonies, they named the triune
01:45:52: God of the Holy Scriptures as the God over their state. When they would make treaties with other nations, they would make that treaty in the name of the triune
01:46:00: God of the Holy Scriptures. They knew that this book is the standard of all truth.
01:46:08: And did you know that John Jay, the first Supreme Court justice, when he was creating the case law system of our nation, our first Supreme Court justice, he would name directly the verses from which he was establishing the law on this nation.
01:46:22: If you wanna know where we've gone, you need to look at how far we've departed from this revelation.
01:46:27: And I want to encourage you, if you're someone who professes faith in Jesus Christ, you call this the truth, stand on this truth, be courageous.
01:46:36: And please hear me on this. Over the next few months, we're gonna need you. We're gonna need you because when, where'd he go?
01:46:44: When the hero of Arizona's children calls abortion what it is, murder, and says it will no longer be tolerated and we're gonna criminalize this, there's gonna be two things coming at waltz.
01:46:56: You need to know what it is. Number one, the pro -choicers, the pro -aborts, the people who say we should be able to murder our children in the womb.
01:47:03: And please hear me on this and please be gracious enough and humble enough to hear me because I am not the enemy.
01:47:11: The pro -life industry that does not want to criminalize it, does not want to call it murder, that wants to regulate it, they will also come against waltz trying to stop what he's doing.
01:47:23: I've seen it in another state, Oklahoma. In Oklahoma, there was a Senator named Joseph Silk who put a bill into criminalize abortion immediately.
01:47:32: Do you know who the opposition was? The pro -life industry, they stopped it. So if you want to give money to somebody to help them stop abortion in this state, give it to Walt Blackman.
01:47:46: If you want to give money, give it to the Christian churches who are ending abortion, not regulating it.
01:47:53: And if you want peace and righteousness and justice and freedom to prevail in this country, it isn't gonna be through mere political commitments.
01:48:02: It's only gonna be because of what Christians said in the past to establish this nation. Are you ready for it?
01:48:07: And I'm almost done. This is, by the way, a miracle you're seeing right now. They told me I had five minutes. That's only about an hour less than I usually go.
01:48:15: Here's the answer to the hope of this nation. No king but Christ. That's the answer.
01:48:25: The gospel is the answer. The problem we see with the rioting and looting and sin in our streets is just that, sin.
01:48:32: The answer to our problem of sin is peace with God through Jesus Christ. Jesus is
01:48:37: God in the flesh, lived perfectly, died for sinners, and rose again from the dead. The only hope of anybody in this world is through faith in him.
01:48:45: The call of the gospel is to repent and believe the gospel. Come to Christ for life. Join us as we criminalize the injustice of abortion in this state.
01:48:55: Be courageous. No compromise. This is murder, and it's ending in our state. Thank you.
01:49:01: So I'm gonna bring up in a moment here, Rusty Thomas. Some of you guys probably heard this story before, but I was friends with Marcus, and he sent me a private screening of Babies Are Murdered Here.
01:49:13: This is many years ago. I dropped my kids off. They're homeschooled. They have a co -op, and so I drove across town.
01:49:20: I dropped the kids off. I see Marcus's message come in, the Dropbox file. I can preview
01:49:26: Babies Are Murdered Here before everyone else sees it. And I'm in my car after I dropped my kids off.
01:49:33: I did not know who Rusty Thomas was, but I sat there in the parking lot, and I watched
01:49:38: Babies Are Murdered Here in the parking lot of my children's co -op all the way through. And there are moments in my life that I can mark as very profound, that feel like yesterday, that were totally transformative for me.
01:49:53: Moments, not a lot, but there's spots there, and I can always point to those moments where God did something enormous in my life to change my heart, to change my mind, to put me on a new course that affected so much of where you see we are today.
01:50:08: And this was one of those moments. Again, never had known who Rusty was, but I'm in my car, and I'm watching
01:50:16: Rusty preach, and my life was totally transformed from that moment in my car, watching on my smartphone from a
01:50:25: Dropbox file. I was in my car, and I was weeping, weeping during that sermon, and I became completely convicted and challenged.
01:50:40: I would have identified my whole Christian life as pro -life. I would have told you that abortion is wrong, and every year,
01:50:49: I think even from when we planted Apologia Church, it wasn't many years before we started this, but on a particular
01:50:56: Sunday, I would preach a pro -life sermon, which is the norm, right?
01:51:01: You preach that pro -life sermon on that day, you talk all pro -life issues at Starbucks and in your
01:51:06: Christian bubble, and that's pretty much the extent of it. And after God used Rusty's sermon in my life, it went from Starbucks to our little huddle to the world, and it was because of a very faithful message.
01:51:20: Preacher Rusty Thomas, who has now become one of my friends, solid brother, and a mentor and father in the faith.
01:51:26: So Rusty Thomas, come on up, brother. And I actually have a really cool, two cool experiences with Rusty I'll share with you, just on a personal level.
01:52:04: One is I got to sit in Sheriff Joe Arpaio's office for about an hour with Rusty, my son, and Sheriff Joe, which
01:52:15: I never thought, how'd that happen, by the way? I don't know. Okay, yeah. It's a
01:52:21: God thing. And it was a God thing. And so we were with Sheriff Joe for about an hour talking to him about the cause of abolition, and sad to say, but I'll go ahead and share with everybody here, sad to say it never happened, but basically he was up for re -election, and he did tell us in his office that day that if it was his last time being elected, it was gonna be his last run, if he was re -elected, he was essentially gonna criminalize abortion.
01:52:47: The doctrine of the lesser man. Yeah, in Maricopa County, in Phoenix, he was just essentially gonna wave the banner of him as Sheriff Joe, and toughest sheriff in America, and he was essentially gonna say no more abortions allowed.
01:53:00: And then George Soros funded his opponent's campaign, and he won, and so Sheriff Joe didn't.
01:53:06: But it was actually an amazing experience to see that if you get in front of a sheriff like Sheriff Joe, he was willing to actually put his neck out and say,
01:53:15: I'll stop the murder of children in Maricopa County. Unfortunately, in God's providence, he wasn't allowed to be sheriff again.
01:53:21: But it did open my eyes to something. These sheriffs are out there, and I think that they will do their duty if Christians will get in front of them and call them to consistency.
01:53:32: So that was my first story with Rusty. Second one is fairly recently, we had a difficult last couple of months of ministry.
01:53:41: I don't think I told you this, but I had all this stuff going on in my head, you know, just praying and everything else. I sat down with Rusty, and I was there to minister to him, and it turned into two hours of him basically telling me everything that was in my head.
01:53:54: It was one of the most divine things in my life. I just wanted to share that with you. It was really crazy. I was there for you, and the next thing you know, it was two hours of you ministering to me and telling me everything that I'd been praying about and thinking about.
01:54:06: I don't know if you saw my face the two hours we were sitting there and having lunch together. I don't know if I looked like a deer in the headlights, but I was thinking, how does he know everything that I've been asking
01:54:16: God about? And you just were speaking to me, and I was supposed to be there for you, so I'm sorry. Were you there? You were there for me, brother.
01:54:23: You were there for me, and it meant a lot. It meant a lot to not just me personally, but my family.
01:54:30: Thank you for that. Of course, of course. Thank you. So, Rusty, you've been doing this for a very, very long time.
01:54:39: Go ahead and tell us, what does this mean to you to see a consistent bill?
01:54:46: Listen to Senator Silk a moment ago. Where in the world did he come from? Well, we had been praying for him a long time.
01:54:53: We didn't know it was him, but the prayers were there for a very long time. Right. Well, what's it mean to you to see all this come into fruition?
01:55:02: I mean, you've been standing outside of abortion mills with the ashes of dead babies falling on your head.
01:55:09: What's this mean to you to see all this? Well, when we started,
01:55:18: Jeff, I think a lot of us that are older in this room, a lot of us got birthed in this battle in the fall of 1988 at the
01:55:28: Atlanta Democratic National Convention. And my own personal story was,
01:55:38: I was always a preacher of righteousness. I was a pastor, I was an evangelist. I didn't shy away from the burning issues of the day.
01:55:47: And I, even back then, I was saying abortion was murder. And of course there was a huge struggle because I was saying one thing, but I was living an entirely different kind of life.
01:56:04: And so my rhetoric and my actions were not consistent with the almighty.
01:56:11: And so the way the Lord kind of did some things that actually set me up is he,
01:56:19: I came across this videotape called the Massacre of Innocence. And up to that point, abortion was something we kind of argued about.
01:56:30: You know, you had pro -life rebuttals to pro -choice arguments and things of this nature.
01:56:37: So it was an issue we debated like back and forth. But up until that time,
01:56:44: I had never seen an abortion. And so this pastor friend,
01:56:51: I call him a friend, he absolutely ruined my life because he gave me that videotape.
01:57:00: And so one night I was all alone and put the tape on and it was first theological, it was doctrinal, it was tracing the roots of child sacrifice, the shedding of innocent blood biblically.
01:57:16: And he did a tremendous job. It was Eric Holmberg, did a tremendous job biblically, but it was the latter part of the video that it was my
01:57:29: Isaiah six moment where I literally had saw the Lord and his mind towards this.
01:57:37: And so he had this, the old rocker, Pat Benatar, and she had a song about child abuse called
01:57:45: Hell is for Children. And every time she screams, ♪
01:57:50: Hell is for children. ♪ There were like pictures of a boarded baby.
01:57:57: And I'm literally seeing like arms and legs like severed from the torso, decapitated heads.
01:58:09: And it was like blood everywhere. To tell you, I was not prepared for that assault upon my mind, my emotions, my inner man.
01:58:23: I just, it was too much. And I literally turned off the tape.
01:58:28: I ran into my bedroom and I just lied prostrate before God. And I'm talking about a wailing so intense that my chest hurt.
01:58:37: It was like an accordion. Like there was sounds coming out of me like a wounded animal. I couldn't believe this nation that I loved had sunk to this level of depravity and wickedness.
01:58:51: And so I was undone. I was literally undone. And then a week later,
01:58:58: I'm watching TV. I'm watching Christians at death camps, singing praises to God, praying and being arrested and hauled away from death camps, living out the doctrine of interposition to save these babies' lives.
01:59:20: And I'm like, what meaneth this? And then a week later, this all happened within three weeks.
01:59:28: A week later, I get a knock at a door from a local pastor.
01:59:34: And he asks me, am I the pastor of this church? And I said, yes, sir, I am. He says, we need to talk.
01:59:41: And I said, talk about what? He said, I just got back from Atlanta.
01:59:49: You were in Atlanta? And he said, yes, sir.
01:59:54: And as soon as he said that, the tears started just streaming down my face. Yes, sir, we have to talk.
02:00:02: What is happening? What's going on here? He said, I'll tell you what's happening is
02:00:07: God is birthing a spirit of repentance in the church of the living
02:00:13: God because up to this point, we had pointed our finger at the Supreme Court, we pointed our finger at the pro -choice groups, we pointed our finger at the usual suspects, but this is the first time we're pointing the finger at the church of the living
02:00:32: God. And God used that to birth repentance and the fruit of the repentance was living out the doctrine of interposition.
02:00:42: And so, brother, that was the start of actually awakening the evangelical church to the evils of abortion.
02:00:55: Now, through the years, obviously, it's gone up and down and back and forth and things of this nature.
02:01:02: And when we started, we could only see from afar what is taking place right now.
02:01:08: And then through the years, God has raised up different brothers and different sisters.
02:01:15: I mean, the work that was started here in Oklahoma with the abolitionist movement, with men like Russell Hunter and Josh Malone and others in this area.
02:01:28: No, we in the rescue movement had the same biblical principles. There was no compromise, no exceptions.
02:01:36: But I gotta tell you, there was men like Russell and others that God used to really tighten and refine the language and the terminology and to tighten up the principles.
02:01:51: And then all of a sudden, God uses pastor Matt Chuella, who produces this tremendous work, the doctrine of the lesser magistrate.
02:02:02: And as far as I am concerned, that is the book for this time in our nation's history.
02:02:17: And so what has happened, you have the sort of the old time rescuers who always believe these things to be true, but through others like Russell, like pastor
02:02:31: Matt, like others, they actually took those biblical principles and created a platform that we can now stand on those principles and bring it into the political realm.
02:02:49: This is huge. One of the reasons why I never fought the battle politically,
02:02:55: I always fought it culturally, I always fought it on the streets and in the churches.
02:03:01: One of the reasons why we could not, according to conscience, fight this battle biblically, politically, is because we were compromised to our core.
02:03:13: We were making deals with the devil that God did not give us the moral authority to make.
02:03:22: And so when these brothers came along, they literally, what they provided for the church of Jesus Christ is a solid foundation that honors the
02:03:40: Lord, that upholds his truth and his commandment.
02:03:45: And now we're bringing it into the political realm to once again, disciple the magistrate and call them to do their duty, which is to use their lawful authority to interpose, to welcome these children into this life and protect them by law.
02:04:07: Huge. So people may not be able to tell from your hat, you're a
02:04:16: Texan. Where's Russ? Where is he? You guys are kind of in a race to see who will be the first state, right?
02:04:27: You're trying anyways? The first state to abolish abortion? I think we're all sort of competitive by nature.
02:04:35: But here's the thing though, Russ has helped us in Texas and of course we help him here.
02:04:41: Absolutely. You guys have the anti -Joseph Silk there in Texas, don't you? An anti -Joseph
02:04:47: Silk? Yeah. Who's that? Senator Leach. Oh, Lord have mercy. Did you have to bring that up?
02:04:53: Well, here's what I wanna ask you. What can Texans or non -Texans do to help you guys in Texas in your fight and what you got going on?
02:05:04: Okay, well, just give you a little update on that.
02:05:10: First of all, thank you for all of you that reached out to our family when we went through our situation with our son,
02:05:19: Jeremiah. And I do want you to know that God did not waste his life nor his death.
02:05:26: And God powerfully used it in the state of Texas. And you're gonna be interviewing
02:05:34: Bradley Pierce right after me. And he was very instrumental in taking what
02:05:43: God worked through Jeremiah to build a little army in the state of Texas with the
02:05:49: Jeremiah Wish campaign. And he'll tell you more how God prospered that.
02:05:56: How many saw the actual hearing in Texas when hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of abolitionists addressed that committee?
02:06:11: It might've been a world record, I don't know. It might be one of the longest hearings in history because we started in the evening and we didn't end till like three or four o 'clock in the morning.
02:06:25: I mean, incredible. Now we did make history. That was the first time a bill of abolition was allowed a hearing and God's people showed up in force.
02:06:41: And I believe it was Thomas Hoffling who has run for president under the
02:06:50: American party. He said before the committee there, do you recognize what's happening right now?
02:06:58: Are you hearing what is happening? He said, this is the death rattle of the pro -life movement and you don't even know it.
02:07:07: You don't even know it, but it's happening. And I got to tell you, brothers and sisters, the toothpaste is out of the tube and it's not going back in.
02:07:17: This is the future. In Jesus mighty name, you mark it down, amen.
02:07:23: The train is leaving the station and it's time to get on board. But anyway, you know,
02:07:31: Jeff Leach was very personable. He was patient.
02:07:38: He was somewhat kind. And he was, you know, patronizing to Kendra and I over the loss of our son.
02:07:52: And we appreciated that. Honestly, we did. But the fact of the matter is, when it came to a bill of abolition that would completely outlawed abortion in the state of Texas, he said, because there's a penalty against the woman,
02:08:14: I cannot in good conscience support the bill. So he allowed that bill to die in committee.
02:08:23: So it never got out so people can vote on it. But I got to tell you, brothers and sisters, these bills of abolition are so critically important because what
02:08:33: Luke is getting here at is that there are pro -life politicians who
02:08:44: I truly believe want to end the suffering and the injustice against the pre -born, but they're getting their marching orders from pro -life organizations that allow them an easier way to deal with this issue.
02:09:02: So one of the things that the bill of abolition does, it does separate the wheat from the chaff.
02:09:09: Do you understand what I mean? It begins to expose those who say they're pro -life only to get votes for their campaign and check it off.
02:09:20: Okay? And so Jeff Leach really was exposed.
02:09:26: Now here's the iron of it. He is now known as a pro -life champion in Texas, getting all kinds of awards, and yet it was him and his committee that killed, allowed to die, the only bill that would actually have ended the suffering and the injustice against the pre -born.
02:09:48: And so that's being exposed right now. Can I have you stress that again, especially for people who are maybe just jumping on this live stream that missed the first half as we're talking about the pro -life lobby and the pro -life industry, their methodology.
02:10:02: I saw Leach at the March for Life do a live stream, and I struggled to watch it.
02:10:12: I really did. I wanna pray for the man. I wanna show as much respect and as grace towards him as I possibly can, but I know that he's responsible for stopping the bill that would have actually ended and criminalized abortion in the state of Texas.
02:10:26: And he was doing a live stream talking about life and pro -life and these different things in Washington.
02:10:32: All the while, he stopped the bill that would have criminalized and ended it. That's a heavy weight on his shoulders that he will answer for.
02:10:41: It's 110 ,000 children. Yeah. That will be butchered in the state of Texas.
02:10:48: And we have to wait two more years before we can address it and put forth another bill of abolition.
02:10:56: So we pray for his repentance, but he is responsible. And again, as people are getting onto this live stream or they're hearing about this for the first time, we are really criticizing the pro -life movement and we're doing a lot to expose the inconsistencies, right?
02:11:16: But it is ultimately the inconsistencies of the pro -life movement, the pro -life legislators that is ultimately keeping abortion from being ended and abolished.
02:11:29: And so a man like Leach is responsible in Texas for he's the pro -life champion that stopped the bill to criminalize and end abortion.
02:11:39: I know it seems tinfoil hat. It seems conspiracy theory. It seems like that's wild and it can't be the case, but it is the case that the pro -life movement is keeping abortion alive.
02:11:52: Just to give you sort of a biblical narrative. You know, you think about the apostle
02:11:58: Paul, you know, where he's starting his great missionary work, right? And so he's blazing a trail.
02:12:06: He's introducing the gospel of the kingdom into the world. God is establishing his beachhead, these local churches throughout his missionary journeys.
02:12:18: And who comes behind him to undo and destroy the work?
02:12:24: The Judaizers, the Judaizers, right? To get everybody back on the religious reservation, right?
02:12:38: And so literally this is what we're seeing as we're moving throughout the land from city to city, state to state, introducing this movement of abolition.
02:12:49: Who are the ones following behind to make sure the legislators and make sure the magistrates get back on the pro -life reservation?
02:13:00: It is these pro -life organizations. And so here's the problem, guys.
02:13:07: See, this is a cozy arrangement where everybody gets what they want, right? So the pro -life politician gets their vote.
02:13:15: The pro -life and pro -family groups get money. They take pictures together. One provides cover for the other.
02:13:24: Everybody gets what they want, except the one who needs our help the most, and that is that pre -born child.
02:13:32: And so I gotta tell you, this unholy alliance needs to be broken in the mighty name of Jesus.
02:13:50: And we gotta get back to God's program, which honestly, what we're seeking is three things.
02:14:00: States, city, county, states, ignore all, establish justice, and abolish all abortion now.
02:14:17: That is the message. That is the mission. And the Church of Jesus Christ, we need to get back to God and fight this battle
02:14:28: His way with His tools and His word that He has granted to us.
02:14:35: No more compromise. No more regulating baby murder.
02:14:40: Rise up and end it once and for all in Jesus' name. Amen. Thank you, brother.
02:14:55: Hi, I'm Jeff Durbin, pastor of Apologia Church and the head of endabortionnow .com. I am so excited to present to you what
02:15:02: God has done over the last year through your prayers and your support, all that you've done to partner with us as a
02:15:08: Christian church, trying to equip other Christian churches globally to save lives at the abortion mill and to establish justice, immediate justice for these pre -born children.
02:15:18: Years ago, when we started this ministry, we told you that we were a Christian church that wanted to make this about the gospel.
02:15:24: We did not want to work with the pro -life industry who are trying to regulate the issue of abortion. We wanted to establish justice, to abolish this, to criminalize it, and to end it once and for all.
02:15:33: When we first started, we told you that we wanted to raise churches up, to equip them completely for free.
02:15:39: We wanted to educate them. We wanted to provide for them all the resources to go out and to save lives at the abortion mill.
02:15:44: As of today, over 615 local churches have signed up. They have been equipped.
02:15:50: They have been trained. They've gotten free resources. We haven't taken anything from these churches. We've wanted only to give to them.
02:15:56: And through your support, we've been able to equip them and train them and give them all their resources to save lives completely for free.
02:16:03: Over 615 churches, countless lives have been saved at this point. Thousands upon thousands of lives are being saved and they continue to be saved on a regular basis because of what you did with us.
02:16:17: You gave to this church to equip these churches. And now thousands of children are alive because of that.
02:16:23: We knew that we needed to create a media ministry that was a platform that could communicate consistently on this issue of abortion from a consistent
02:16:31: Christian perspective that worked towards the end, the criminalization and the abolition of abortion in our nation.
02:16:38: We knew that we needed to speak with the gospel demanding immediate justice to our legislators. We started a movement across the country of Christians going to the legislature and demanding immediate justice.
02:16:49: That all has happened. And now we've been able to work with Christians across the country who are working with their legislators to criminalize the issue of abortion.
02:16:58: Right now in the state of Arizona, we have a representative who is presenting a bill to criminalize, not regulate, to end the issue of abortion in the state of Arizona.
02:17:07: Roe v. Wade is a court opinion. It does not have the force of law. It is not a law. And that is admitted now.
02:17:15: Number one, we don't know exactly what she would do. All the expectation is that she may very well move to overview over rule
02:17:25: Roe. The only responsible response to that would be to pass legislation, making
02:17:30: Roe the law of the land. That's what I would do. We needed to educate believers that Roe v.
02:17:36: Wade is a court opinion and states need to reject an unjust ruling by judges in the 1970s.
02:17:44: We knew that we needed to actually approach this consistently in a way that was different than the pro -life industry has, where they're working towards regulation and not the ultimate criminalization of abortion.
02:17:55: They call mothers and fathers who have abortions victims themselves. You'll never end abortion with that mindset, with that worldview.
02:18:03: The pro -life industry refuses to call abortion murder, what Christians would call it. We've wanted to raise churches up to actually equip them to focus on this issue as Christians, not with neutrality, but with the gospel demanding immediate justice.
02:18:18: We've been able to do that through your support over 615 local churches now out saving thousands of lives.
02:18:24: We have now established other media ministries. We, through your support have actually given numerous churches their own media kit where they're actually gonna be able to produce their own content, just like Apologia Studios.
02:18:37: We've given them high -end cameras and recording equipment, sound equipment, tripods, lenses, so they can do what we're doing to broaden the reach of the voices of those within the
02:18:47: Christian church who can speak to this issue with consistency as Christians for the end of abortion.
02:18:54: We've been able to raise up churches in Ireland, Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland and in Scotland who are speaking to this issue as Christians in Ireland, in Australia, in New Zealand, in Canada.
02:19:07: God has made this movement global and it's happened because of your support with us. I wanna speak to you from the heart here.
02:19:15: We are not trying to create an industry. I long for the day when we shut all this down and don't ask for another penny to support these churches and to criminalize this issue.
02:19:25: We are working as a Christian church to criminalize this and to establish justice and to save lives.
02:19:31: You've helped us to do that and you've helped us to do it in a way where we've been no burden to the churches.
02:19:37: We've just helped them, equipped them. You did that, you supported us, you prayed and right now we have legislators in Indiana, South Carolina, Texas, Oklahoma and in Arizona who are going to be putting in bills to criminalize abortion, to resist
02:19:54: Roe versus Wade and to criminalize abortion at the state level. It's gonna be happening here in Arizona.
02:20:02: It's already being submitted and all of that's happening because of the work of endabortionnow .com
02:20:08: and other believers across the country who are trying to establish justice, true justice for these pre -born children.
02:20:15: Will you join us again in 2021? Of course, pray for us. Of course, please sign up at endabortionnow .com
02:20:22: with your church, save some lives with us. There's Christians all over the country that need you to join us.
02:20:28: We need your help to save lives, but also partner with us so we can equip more churches, develop more media ministries to speak to this issue in the public square together and to once and for all criminalize abortion in our nation.
02:20:42: Help us to meet our matching donation for 2020. Help us through 2021 to save more lives and to end the slaughter of these innocent pre -born children in the womb.
02:20:53: When you give to endabortionnow .com, you're giving to equip local churches to save lives.
02:20:59: That's all there is to it. Lives are being saved every single day across the country and around the world now because of believers just like you who gave.
02:21:09: You are helping to raise churches up and you are saving lives. You're helping to establish media ministries like Apologia Studios that are speaking to this issue consistently, that are raising up Christians, that are helping to actually end, to criminalize the issue of abortion.
02:21:26: You're helping us to actually train and equip Christians to do what we've been able to do across the country now.
02:21:32: Christians have been able to talk to their legislators and demand immediate justice. Just think about this.
02:21:37: 10 years ago, we weren't in a place that we are now where we have legislators who are actually saying, end it.
02:21:45: It's over, we're criminalizing this, we're abolishing it. Now we're here. Christians have been working so faithfully in this area and you can partner with a ministry like Apologia through End Abortion Now to raise up churches, to bring the message of the gospel into conflict with abortion and to bring the message of immediate justice to legislatures across the country like this one.
02:22:08: It's happening in Arizona right now. We have people all over the country now who are in this.
02:22:14: This is unprecedented in our time to see so many changes right on the line.
02:22:22: And I just wanna reiterate again, I am so looking forward to the day as a pastor where we never do another one of these videos except just to celebrate what
02:22:30: God has done. We never ask for another penny. The pro -life industry is an industry.
02:22:36: It's a business. When you give this to the church, the church can work with the gospel to end this issue and never ask for another penny.
02:22:45: Brothers and sisters, will you give? Help us to match our donation so we can fund all the work for 2021.
02:22:53: Will you help us in this moment in time to work to the end of abortion as the
02:22:58: Christian church? Help us to work in such a way that we end this, we don't regulate it, we criminalize it and establish justice for our pre -born neighbors now.
02:23:08: That's what's happening. So many churches, so many lives saved. Now, more media ministries than ours able to speak to this with good quality content, with a consistent message and working with the legislators to criminalize this issue in our country.
02:23:24: Will you partner with a Christian church that makes this about the gospel, that makes this about ending abortion once and for all?
02:23:32: We can celebrate together when we never ask for another penny from a
02:23:38: Christian to end this issue because it's ended. Go to endabortionnow .com,
02:23:45: sign up with your church to join us in saving lives. Go to endabortionnow .com to give towards the work of 2021.
02:23:53: All of your giving goes towards raising up churches, saving lives, creating media content and media ministries to speak to this issue and to training churches to actually end this at the legislature.
02:24:06: Join us for 2021, brothers and sisters. I'd be so grateful if you did. I'm off the property.
02:51:27: See my... What? Move. Move where? Off the property. I'm not gonna play games with you.
02:51:32: That's public. You wanna play a game? No, no. No, it's not.
02:51:41: I'm gonna tell you one time. I'm gonna tell you one time. Move off the property or you're going to jail.
02:51:46: I have the paperwork. I'm gonna give you one more chance and then you're going to handcuff. Are you moving or not? Yes or no?
02:51:52: I'm not on the property. All right, come here. Come here. Turn around. I wouldn't resist.
02:51:58: Turn around. Get my keys. Hey, easy on the cuffs.
02:52:05: Easy on the cuffs. Get my keys out of my pocket.
02:52:11: Get my keys out of my pocket. Ow! Ow! My hands are going numb, dude.
02:52:27: All right. I'm losing my phone, sir. Please just take off. Take off.
02:52:34: This place is wicked, man. You know the Lord, sir.
02:52:40: You're arresting a Christian. You're arresting a Christian right now. Well, my name's
02:52:45: John Barros. I don't know, you know, how many of you know me or anything.
02:52:52: There's a lot of people I haven't ever met here before. There's some here that have been down to the clinic with me and that serve down there in Orlando.
02:53:02: I've been going to the Orlando Women's Center for 16 years.
02:53:08: I've been there full -time for the last, I'll be starting my 10th year in a couple of weeks.
02:53:18: I used to be there the first few years. It wasn't popular to do this. You weren't going to rooms filled up with people like you.
02:53:26: And 16 years ago and people wanting to get out and do this type of ministry.
02:53:33: So I was alone most of the time the first three years. And I thank
02:53:39: God for that. You know, I want to encourage you guys that if you get days where you feel like you're the only one there and you probably are going to be the only one there, don't yell, where's the church?
02:53:53: Enjoy that time. Because He's there with you in a special way. It might not seem like it, but He really truly is.
02:54:00: I learned more about Jesus and about God in those three years than I could have ever possibly do in anything else and in any other way.
02:54:10: And He will bless you in the most possible. Of course, we want help. And of course, we want people there.
02:54:16: And I want people to be supporting you and helping you wherever you are. But don't shy away from those days.
02:54:23: They really are good days and can be some of the best days of ministry ever, really.
02:54:30: In fact, honestly, at our clinic, especially in the afternoon, or a lot of people can come early in the morning and then they have to go about their business of the day.
02:54:44: And I like it when there's just a couple of us there because people are much more open to coming and speaking to you than if all of us were there.
02:54:57: But if there's just a couple of us there, they'll come and talk to you. And I have a little tiny wall, pony wall, that separates the property there.
02:55:07: And my goal every morning is I ask the Lord to fill somebody sitting on that wall next to me, being able to speak to them.
02:55:15: And that's the goal there. But I forgot where I was.
02:55:25: I gotta tell you, I had a stroke in April. And so I might zip in and out here in a few places and I'll forget where I was, but just bear with me.
02:55:36: But the only thing I can do as far as this goes, you all are ministering in completely different places, completely different situations, completely different everything.
02:55:49: So all I can speak to, in all honesty, is where I minister at.
02:55:56: And if you can pull something out of that that can help you, I'd be very happy.
02:56:03: But I also know, I've been to the one in Bristol where Amanda's been and I've served there.
02:56:12: That's a difficult place. I've been to Phoenix and been to some of that nonsense.
02:56:19: I've tromped through cactuses outside of Phoenix with Raleigh Haggard and John Speed trying to talk to people at one there.
02:56:30: So I understand that everybody has a different thing, but there's basic things
02:56:35: I think that we all have to do. So I'm just gonna run down what it's like at our clinic and what we do at that time.
02:56:46: It usually opens at nine o 'clock every morning. I try to be there between 7 .30 and eight o 'clock because for one reason is, and I think probably all of you that do this ministry can probably attest to this, that a lot of people come early.
02:56:59: And they come early a lot of the time because they don't wanna do it. And they think if they can hurry up and get it done, it'll be done.
02:57:10: And if you can talk to them, it's gold. It's solid gold. So many of them choose life, actually.
02:57:21: I have a wonderful place where I send them to. It's called
02:57:26: Choices Pregnancy Center. It's a lady's doctor's office with a real lady doctor there.
02:57:32: We have real lady RNs. They're all, all the ones there are godly women.
02:57:39: I watch on Facebook people upset with the pregnancy centers that they're sending people to.
02:57:45: And I can certainly, I would hate to have to deal with that. But the way I know that ours is good is because so many of the volunteers from the ones
02:57:53: I send them to come and help me on the sidewalk. So I know exactly what they're saying. I know exactly what they're doing.
02:57:59: I know their exact view of it all. So again, I'm probably blessed more than people in that area.
02:58:06: But I have a wonderful place to get people started at.
02:58:14: They get a free ultrasound, of course, and then they get a free financial help.
02:58:21: The state of Florida, they get them on Medicaid if they need that. They do it all immediately right there.
02:58:28: And then, of course, they get them start on physical help as well.
02:58:35: The biggest thing that helps with mine is that my pastors at my church will back up every single thing
02:58:42: I tell a lady. If I tell a lady I'll pay three months of her rent back, back rent, or you know all the things that it could be.
02:58:53: They will back me 100%, whatever I say. Usually, the people that say that they're in all this dire need really are.
02:59:03: It's very rare that we even really have to help anybody, but they've blown this so much up into their minds that they think, but we at least have that covered.
02:59:14: We try to have absolutely everything covered. Our church actually has a fund for people in our church to help pay to adopt babies, actually.
02:59:28: I mean, our church has actual prayer groups to fight abortion.
02:59:37: They, oh, oh, thank God. There is a God. I've been dying.
02:59:44: Your prayers have been answered. Oh, thank you, thank you. See, Don was supposed to do this, but that's
02:59:51: Don, you know. I'm like, see, you shouldn't have prayed for me to feel better.
02:59:59: Now you're gonna pay. Oh, okay, I didn't realize that. But so anyway, the church is absolutely valuable, and I know a lot of people always say, they say, how do
03:00:11: I get, my church won't do anything. My church won't this, my church won't. I always say, please, the thing that changed ours, the one that changed, that changes a church is when you bring a girl that has chosen life that really does need help, and you bring her into the church, and you disciple her, and as she's going through her pregnancies, she's getting bigger and bigger, and the ladies in the church just start mothering on her, you know what
03:00:45: I mean? And then when that baby's born, you make sure every single person in that church holds that baby and smells, there's no smell like that in the world, right?
03:00:57: And it changes people. And when they see somebody come to Christ, and they see this baby growing, and they see this baby now growing up in the church, and going through the nursery, and going through all that stuff, it becomes as normal as anything else in your church.
03:01:17: It really does. So I always just say, you know, bring them your fruit. Now maybe you're in one that's really bad,
03:01:25: I don't know, but I don't have an answer for anything other than that. I really, I really don't.
03:01:31: But then throughout the day, at the church, the way it works is we have a brochure, the
03:01:39: Living Waters in the Womb Tract, that's the one I use, I only use that.
03:01:47: And we've had so many girls that take those and go in,
03:01:53: I mean, it's not like every week or anything, but over the years there's been many that have gone in there and on the back they have that little square thing where you can do your phone.
03:02:05: I mean, you young people know how to do that. But anyway, it pops up the 180 video, and they're sitting in there, they all have their headphones on, and nobody knows what they're doing, and they'll actually watch that video sitting in the lobby of the abortion clinic, and many have come out in Chosen Life watching that video.
03:02:23: So it shows a little bit of development about the baby and all that in the brochure itself, plus it has a little short gospel message in it as well.
03:02:37: And then I give them, our place makes these cards about that big, the pregnancy center says what they can do for them on it, and has a map on the back and directions, and then
03:02:49: I give them my card, and over there if a lady shows up with my card, they know that they met me, and they'll then put them to the front of the list of everything that's going on there at Choices, and then they'll be seen there immediately.
03:03:08: So no appointment necessary, no anything. So we try to cover all that. And then around about 10 o 'clock, depending on what it is, after they're all in there,
03:03:23: I'm fortunate enough to be close enough to the building, I'm about 25 feet from the front door, and I preach a sermon there every day.
03:03:34: And it lasts about 45 minutes. And it covers pretty much everything you could imagine.
03:03:45: And that is when 90 some percent of the people that have chosen life, when they choose life, it's when either that or right afterwards, they get very convicted.
03:04:00: God convicts people. People harden their hearts, even the ones that go through with it. They're convicted,
03:04:06: I mean, heavily. But the thing I learned was there's no, you can show up with all the little cool little sayings, like,
03:04:21: I don't know, that people will come and yell it, these people, and they'll say abortion, one wounded, one dead, or something.
03:04:28: I've never seen any of that stuff turn anybody's heart, but I see God's word turn their heart.
03:04:34: And I always try to get people, I get people like street preachers will call me or text me, and they'll say, hey,
03:04:39: I'm coming down to serve with you on Thursday. I say, why? They say, well, because I want to.
03:04:46: I say, we don't need you. Because we don't want people down there that are arrogant, number one.
03:04:55: I'm not saying all street preachers are. But I always tell people, you're welcome if. If you can show up here and you can, and you're prepared to preach a site -specific message, like what it has to do with what's going on here.
03:05:11: You know, not everywhere else, you know, the fire coming down from the mountains and all this kind of stuff.
03:05:17: But a site -specific message as to what abortion is, what
03:05:23: God thinks of it, why you need to repent and turn from this, and the care that he will give you if you trust him, how he's never let one girl down in all the years
03:05:33: I've ever been there, not one that has put their trust in him. If you're not willing to preach that kind of sermon, please don't come, because you'll just be a hindrance, actually, more than anything.
03:05:46: And so that's what we try to do. But usually that's when the people choose life.
03:05:54: But the other advantage that we have there than a lot of places like you probably go to is ours lasts all day long.
03:06:03: They get them in there at nine o 'clock, they give them nine o 'clock appointments, they all have the same appointment time. So you get 25, 30 people showing up at nine o 'clock.
03:06:12: And then they sit in there, sometimes till six o 'clock at night before the abortionist even gets there.
03:06:21: So you've got all that time, you know, to share the Word with them. And they come out, they need some, you know, cigarettes have saved more babies than anything on Earth.
03:06:32: At our clinic, I'm sorry. There's, you know, that's the truth. They come out and you get a chance to talk to them.
03:06:39: And as the day wears on, God's Word is like banging around in their head and their heart.
03:06:47: And they'll come out with questions and they'll come out and talk and fights will erupt between the guy and the girl.
03:06:56: And, you know, you'll have all this kind of stuff going. It's very tiring doing this, but because it is, you know,
03:07:04: I'm there from 7 .30 or 8 in the morning till 4 .30 in the afternoon every day. And it's like, it's just never ending.
03:07:12: It's just every day you go back to the same people, just different faces, same excuses, same craziness, the same, all of it.
03:07:21: But that time is an advantage. That time, that's why we don't get all excited.
03:07:27: Like when they come, we're not, ah, you gotta, you know, and you don't have that tension of like, oh, that baby's gonna be dead in 20 minutes or something.
03:07:36: We try to talk to them like we would talk to our next door neighbor or something, like not being all hyped up, not being all pumped up because we know we have time and we know that God's Word is gonna work.
03:07:50: And I'll tell you, over the years I've been there, I'm gonna tell you this with, I can't stress enough.
03:08:00: I tell people, people think I'm something. I am absolutely nothing.
03:08:06: I am absolutely, when I tell you this, I mean it from, it's not a false humility.
03:08:12: It's anything, I know who I am. I know what I am. I'm actually the most obnoxious, stinking guy you've probably ever met,
03:08:19: Don agrees. But I have been able to see the
03:08:25: Lord in this time, in this nine years. I've been able to see him turn the hearts of over 2 ,500 girls that have chosen life.
03:08:35: And that's not counting the turnaways that you don't know about until, you know, they just leave and you wonder if they just vanish out into thin air somewhere and you don't know.
03:08:46: But I could never take credit for one of those. I don't have that kind of power to turn a heart.
03:08:53: Do any of you? Can you take that black heart of some of those people going in there? I see God do it like that in an instant of time.
03:09:01: The most hateful, angry, mid -sentence cussing you out. Just bam!
03:09:08: And it's like, wow, you know, I don't have that power. It does not belong to me,
03:09:14: I don't. And neither do you. But his word, he promises in Romans 1, 16.
03:09:20: He says that the gospel is the power of God into salvation. And why would we want to use anything but his power?
03:09:29: Right, I mean, what can we possibly manufacture that's more powerful than that?
03:09:34: Now, when I say the gospel, I don't mean that just a gospel presentation like you would typically say, but you weave it.
03:09:44: You weave the gospel through what's happening there in front of you. And each individual person, you can learn a lot about people by reading the stickers on the back of their cars, by what they're wearing and all these things.
03:09:57: You try to use it to, number one, get to know them and then to enter into them, you know, enter into their life somehow.
03:10:06: And you try to weave that gospel through all of that.
03:10:12: And it's not easy. I mean, it's, and you're not always gonna be right.
03:10:18: I mean, when you, people can fool you. I mean, you're not gonna, but I've seen
03:10:25: God do the most absolutely amazing things. Um, what?
03:10:34: Tell us the story. Okay. You didn't know this was being directed.
03:10:40: This is a Don Martin production. But I will tell you a story, okay?
03:10:48: I told it already earlier today to these guys. I told them one from a month ago and this will show you how much power
03:10:54: I've got, right? To turn a heart. I even told Knucklehead over there yesterday. Michael, but I told you
03:11:03: I was obnoxious. But I, one day I was out there preaching and I had
03:11:10: Joe and Yoli from my church were there. And I was just preaching.
03:11:17: I was on the sidewalk preaching. I hear a car pull up behind me on the street. I hear some guys start screaming and hollering in Spanish.
03:11:26: And I don't pay attention. I don't stop. I don't quit. I don't do anything. I just stay focused.
03:11:32: And so Yoli says, John, I think you need to come and talk to this one.
03:11:39: And I said, okay. So I stopped preaching and I went out in the street.
03:11:47: There's this guy with tears pouring down his face. He's on his phone and he was a transportation driver for a medical transportation, taking some patient to a doctor.
03:11:59: And he's crying and the guy's sitting in the back seat and he's trying to figure out why is someone preaching out here?
03:12:05: Why is this guy crying? You know, what's all going on? And then he starts telling Yoli the story and the passenger finally realized, hey, this is gonna be a while.
03:12:15: He got out and walked the rest of the way to his thing, but he was happy, you know, for this guy. But he gets his wife on FaceTime and then he's showing me and he's just rambling in Spanish, fast
03:12:27: Spanish. I mean, there's no way I could ever. And here's his wife and she's crying.
03:12:34: And here's this little baby she's holding about this big. And then it turns out they were a turn away about 14 months earlier.
03:12:45: And we didn't know. I mean, I had no idea, you know, about this.
03:12:51: And because when they just vanished like that, you don't ever know. And a lot of you guys, if you're in a place where you're far away from them and you don't able to really one -on -one with people, just know that people are leaving that you will never even know
03:13:08: Joe's life, I guarantee you. But so they're talking and he's all thankful.
03:13:17: He gets out of his car and he hugs me and all this stuff. And then I thought, I gotta go back, you know, go back to preach.
03:13:25: So he gets back in his car and I'm walking back to preach and something hit me and I said, wait a minute.
03:13:33: I said, Yoli, she says, what? I said, stop that guy. And so she hollered and he stopped.
03:13:41: And she goes, why? I said, Yoli, he speaks Spanish. And she said,
03:13:49: I said, ask him how in the heck he knew what I was preaching? And he heard it in his own language, him and his wife.
03:13:59: Now, I mean, how is that? Do I have that power? I don't have that power, man. I don't have any power.
03:14:05: I am the most broken guy you would ever imagine. I liken myself to the guy in Mark chapter five.
03:14:13: When Jesus went to look for an evangelist to the Gentiles, it says he had to go across the lake.
03:14:22: So he goes across the lake and he goes to find his first evangelist to the
03:14:28: Gentiles. He goes to a cemetery and he finds a guy with a thousand demons in him, right?
03:14:34: And so he cleans that guy up and then that guy, as you can imagine,
03:14:40: I'll shorten the story up a lot, but as you can imagine, that guy is now clean, he's healed.
03:14:47: Jesus, they want him to leave because all the pigs got killed. And so he's getting in the boat to leave and that guy wants to get in the boat.
03:14:57: And Jesus says, you, no, you stay here. You tell the people the wonderful things that God has done.
03:15:07: And then the next time Jesus comes to that area, it's called the Decapolis. You guys can look all this up.
03:15:14: The Decapolis was an area where there were 10 city -states and all the ruling empires had their own cities there in this area and part of dealing with Rome and Israel and all that.
03:15:28: And when Jesus came back there the next time, all the people came out to him.
03:15:34: And the first thing Jesus did there then was heal a deaf guy, remember, to signifying that he's bringing the gospel now to the
03:15:43: Gentiles and to the masses. And anyway, that's what I look at myself. I'm just a broken guy, sinner beyond belief.
03:15:54: I'm still, you really wouldn't like me if you knew me, but I'm just a regular guy.
03:16:02: I don't have any of that power. I haven't been to seminary. I haven't done any of that stuff, but God called me there.
03:16:08: And he will equip whoever he calls. And when you go, he's going to equip you.
03:16:15: He's going to give you everything you need. And he's going to do things that you will never, ever in a million years believe.
03:16:25: But that's one example. There's thousands of them. But the whole point is that I don't know how
03:16:36: I got off on this. I was trying to go in order of how to do this kind of ministry.
03:16:44: But again, I don't know. I don't understand the area where you're at.
03:16:50: I know some things that you don't want to have. You don't want to have people that are fighting you on the sidewalk.
03:16:57: I mean, that's like the biggest no -no ever. You don't want to waste your time with them at all.
03:17:05: You just carry on, do what you're going to do, and God's going to, he'll sort it all out. Because I've been through all that as well.
03:17:14: But it's honestly, I tell people that I show up and watch him show off because I can't do any of this stuff.
03:17:26: I'm not saying it's easy. It's kind of miserable, really. I mean, you're out there in Florida. I don't know what it's like where you live.
03:17:32: But summer over there, it's 9 o 'clock in the morning. It can be 95 with 95 % humidity.
03:17:39: And you get out of your car, and it's dripping off your elbows already. But the joy that when you get to see him move, there's nothing worth, there's nothing like that.
03:17:55: Boy, he protects you in a special way. He does everything. He really truly becomes your all in all when you put yourself in that position.
03:18:06: And there's nothing on earth worth that. I mean, nothing comes even close to that.
03:18:16: I kind of got to regroup here and figure out where I'm going. But how much time do I have?
03:18:22: Anybody know? No. So I have 10 more minutes.
03:18:31: How about if I do this then? Yeah, why don't I see if any of you guys, and maybe we could all, maybe one of you have an answer to somebody else's question about where you guys are serving at.
03:18:45: Anybody have a question? Yes, sir. Yeah, I just had a question about if, you know, something that, you know,
03:18:52: I think all of us, you know, have seen is maybe some, like, legal problems, you know, that might come up, you know, with just basically, you know, either kind of from that or from that.
03:19:04: Oh, I have to tell you, you know, at the beginning, yeah. But here's the thing. If you can possibly do it, get somebody in your church.
03:19:13: Don't you have an old cripple guy in your church or something that can adopt, that's on disability or retired, that can adopt that abortion clinic, and that he can be there every minute they're open?
03:19:25: He's getting paid anyway, or he's on retirement. He's got, right? He can do it.
03:19:30: What else is he going to do, watch Andy Griffith all day long? But get him to go down there.
03:19:36: Once you own that place, things happen. I mean, I have the police. I couldn't believe it either, but last week,
03:19:44: I'm out there preaching, and I hear this. I didn't hear it, actually, because I get in this, like, zone, and I have to have people watch so that nobody comes and attacks me.
03:19:55: They'll run up, and I'll know that somebody's coming. Because I get in this weird place when
03:20:02: I'm preaching, and I didn't hear the car pull up.
03:20:08: I didn't even hear the people yelling. And then all of a sudden, I hear, John! And I turn around, and it's the police.
03:20:17: And I turn around, I look at them, and I go, what's up? What did I do? And he goes, no, no, no, you don't get it.
03:20:24: John, preach louder. John, preach longer. So I don't have those problems, but I really believe it's because I own the place.
03:20:34: You know what I mean? It's because they're not coming out there. In fact, when somebody calls the police on me, which is every day, because they don't think
03:20:43: I have a right to be there, you know, all this stuff, the police just tell them, he has every right to be there, it's just John.
03:20:49: If you don't want to hear him, go sit inside or go sit in your car. But every once in a while, they'll make a claim, and they'll come out, and then they basically end up giving him a civics lesson.
03:21:02: But the thing is, own the place.
03:21:08: Own it. That's not the devil's land. It's really not. He doesn't belong there.
03:21:16: They don't belong in that place. That's God's. And you've got to look at it that way.
03:21:23: That's your place. Those people are... Yes, sir? What do you think about bringing your kids there? You've got a four -year -old and a three -year -old, and they just play this, well, it's winter in Alaska right now, so they're in the car usually, but...
03:21:32: Winter in Alaska. What? Winter in Alaska.
03:21:39: Do they have a DCF up there? What's that? Department of Children and Families.
03:21:46: Winter in Alaska, sitting in the car. No. I don't like kids where I'm at.
03:21:54: It's not because of the exposure and all that, but ours is such a weird thing.
03:22:00: We have these two driveways, and then the clinic's right here, and people hit that driveway at 40 miles an hour coming in there, and boom, and if there's a kid when they're coming around, there's a kid standing there, adult, anybody, they're going to be dead.
03:22:15: But if you can get them in a safe place and all that, yeah. Heck, yeah. I know many families in Florida where I live that have done that.
03:22:23: You mean, like, safe or... Yeah. People going in, moms coming in, seeing babies.
03:22:33: Yeah, I don't know if that works. But... Clark Stevens Jr. said in the first baby's I murdered here, it's not safe.
03:22:40: Don't plan on being safe. No, it's not safe. Yes? So if we do have all the opposition out there, because ours we do, there's volunteers.
03:22:52: I'm pretty sure they're paid. There's probably five or six to nine at any given time, and as soon as we get there, they call them.
03:23:00: Yeah. So do you recommend just not engaging them at all? What I always try to do when they've done that at ours, they don't last long, because number one, they're not going to get paid by them, and number two, they're not there the same reason we are.
03:23:17: Right? They're not looking at this as a spiritual thing between us and God and, you know, the battle that's before us.
03:23:26: But I've had them there. They've turned on the sprinklers and they've done all that. But I always try, like, the workers when they'll, like, go get the girls' heads and put their heads over their ears and all and walk them up the driveway and all that.
03:23:38: Usually, what I always say is, young lady, come and talk to me about what they don't want you to hear.
03:23:49: And it really gets people inquisitive and, like, what, and a lot of, and it usually, it ended up working against them.
03:23:56: Yeah. You got to try and use them as your thing. You know, I know one thing, one big deal,
03:24:02: I'm sure somebody would ask it, what do you do when someone says you're judging us? Right?
03:24:08: Do you ever hear that? Well, here's what I tell them.
03:24:14: I say, I'm not judging you. My judgment wouldn't mean anything even if I did.
03:24:20: I'm here to warn you about his judgment and try to protect you from it. But you, in fact, are the actual judge.
03:24:26: And you have just condemned your baby to death. You've just judged your baby not worthy of life.
03:24:35: And nobody has a comeback for that. None of them. They don't have a... I think we're...
03:24:41: Yes, ma 'am. My name is Tina Brown, and I've got a job in Oklahoma City. And you're my hero.
03:24:51: Oh, dear. I follow you, and I would like to ask you, since I have to be there,
03:24:57: I will be there tomorrow, and I'll speak briefly at the Capitol Tuesday, and then
03:25:03: I'll be back there Wednesday. Could you please come to my gate, sir? When is this, tomorrow?
03:25:09: Yes, tomorrow. Well, let me check with the schedule and see what they want me to do. But, yeah, sure.
03:25:16: I'm going to call him, and I'm going to talk to him. Or I'm going to come to Florida. Come on down.
03:25:22: To learn more, you know. She just came down. She just moved down next to you from Austin.
03:25:27: She's down there now at our clinic. I think that's it for time, right, guys?
03:25:33: Is that it? Yeah, I think we're done. But if there's any other questions,
03:25:39: I don't want you to miss any other classes, but if you want to come back in with more questions, come back in.
03:25:47: Got to give you a way to escape. Thank you, guys.
03:26:08: We actually found out that she had cystic fibrosis about a week after she was born.
03:26:15: Adrienne knew that something wasn't right just by how she was eating and some different things like that.
03:26:21: So what I remember was Adrienne went to her first appointment with Jade, and when she came home, she was in tears, just crying, and she couldn't even really talk.
03:26:33: So Cheryl was with us, which is our pastor's wife, and she told me, she said,
03:26:41: And I didn't know at the time what that meant exactly. I didn't know what that meant for Jade.
03:26:47: I just knew it was bad. I knew it had something to do with her lungs. So, you know, from there on, we just, you know, started planning on how to raise a child with cystic fibrosis.
03:26:59: It used to be a death sentence for kids. Now, I mean, thank the Lord we live in a time where the medical technology has come so far, medication has come so far.
03:27:10: With any baby, they need to eat a lot, and with her, you can't just feed her.
03:27:18: She needs medication every time she eats anything. So that can get time -consuming and stressful, but she's very happy, she's very playful, and she's been healthy lately, and it's just really rewarding to see how far she's come.
03:27:36: What a joy she brings to our family, regardless of what we have to do to keep her healthy.
03:28:03: Abortion wasn't even a thing that ever crossed our mind. I think that a lot of people look at Jade's condition and they think, oh, she has something that's going to make her life difficult and hard, and it's going to make your guys' life difficult and hard.
03:28:20: So the narrative we're sold is the best thing to do is just kill her. And so for us, that never crossed our mind because life is hard in general.
03:28:29: It's hard for all of us. It's hard for children. It's hard for adults, parents, husbands, wives.
03:28:35: Life is difficult, and there are many obstacles that we go through. So abortion never crossed our mind, and we're continuing to have children, knowing that our future children could also have cystic fibrosis.
03:28:48: Every child we have, there's a 25 % chance, and we're not deterred from having children.
03:28:55: Children are a blessing, and God made her just the way she was. Hi, I'm Jeff Durbin, pastor of Apologia Church and the head of EndAbortionNow .com.
03:29:37: I am so excited to present to you what God has done over the last year through your prayers and your support, all that you've done to partner with us as a
03:29:45: Christian church trying to equip other Christian churches globally to save lives at the abortion mill and to establish justice, immediate justice, for these pre -born children.
03:29:55: Years ago when we started this ministry, we told you that we were a Christian church that wanted to make this about the gospel.
03:30:00: We did not want to work with the pro -life industry who were trying to regulate the issue of abortion. We wanted to establish justice, to abolish this, to criminalize it, and to end it once and for all.
03:30:10: When we first started, we told you that we wanted to raise churches up to equip them completely for free.
03:30:15: We wanted to educate them. We wanted to provide for them all the resources to go out and to save lives at the abortion mill.
03:30:21: As of today, over 615 local churches have signed up. They have been equipped.
03:30:27: They have been trained. They've gotten free resources. We haven't taken anything from these churches. We've wanted only to give to them.
03:30:32: And through your support, we've been able to equip them and train them and give them all their resources to save lives completely for free.
03:30:40: Over 615 churches, countless lives have been saved at this point. Thousands upon thousands of lives are being saved, and they continue to be saved on a regular basis because of what you did with us.
03:30:53: You gave to this church to equip these churches, and now thousands of children are alive because of that.
03:30:59: We knew that we needed to create a media ministry that was a platform that could communicate consistently on this issue of abortion from a consistent
03:31:07: Christian perspective that worked towards the end, the criminalization, and the abolition of abortion in our nation.
03:31:14: We knew that we needed to speak with the gospel, demanding immediate justice to our legislators. We started a movement across the country of Christians going to the legislature and demanding immediate justice.
03:31:25: That all has happened, and now we've been able to work with Christians across the country who are working with their legislators to criminalize the issue of abortion.
03:31:34: Right now in the state of Arizona, we have a representative who is presenting a bill to criminalize, not regulate, to end the issue of abortion in the state of Arizona.
03:31:43: Roe v. Wade is a court opinion. It does not have the force of law. It is not a law, and that is admitted now.
03:31:52: Number one, we don't know exactly what she would do. The expectation is that she may very well move to overrule
03:32:00: Roe. The only responsible response to that would be to pass legislation making
03:32:06: Roe the law of the land. That's what I would do. We needed to educate believers that Roe v.
03:32:13: Wade is a court opinion and states need to reject an unjust ruling by judges in the 1970s.
03:32:21: We knew that we needed to actually approach this consistently in a way that was different than the pro -life industry has, where they're working towards regulation and not the ultimate criminalization of abortion.
03:32:32: They call mothers and fathers who have abortions victims themselves. You'll never end abortion with that mindset, with that worldview.
03:32:40: The pro -life industry refuses to call abortion murder, what Christians would call it. We've wanted to raise churches up to actually equip them to focus on this issue as Christians, not with neutrality, but with the gospel demanding immediate justice.
03:32:55: We've been able to do that through your support. Over 615 local churches now out saving thousands of lives.
03:33:00: We have now established other media ministries. We, through your support, have actually given numerous churches their own media kit where they're actually going to be able to produce their own content, just like Apologia Studios.
03:33:13: We've given them high -end cameras and recording equipment, sound equipment, tripods, lenses, so they can do what we're doing to broaden the reach of the voices of those within the
03:33:24: Christian church who can speak to this issue with consistency as Christians for the end of abortion.
03:33:30: We've been able to raise up churches in Ireland, Northern Ireland, in the Republic of Ireland, and in Scotland, who are speaking to this issue as Christians in Ireland, in Australia, in New Zealand, in Canada.
03:33:44: God has made this movement global, and it's happened because of your support with us. I want to speak to you from the heart here.
03:33:52: We are not trying to create an industry. I long for the day when we shut all this down and don't ask for another penny to support these churches and to criminalize this issue.
03:34:02: We are working as a Christian church to criminalize this and to establish justice and to save lives.
03:34:08: You've helped us to do that, and you've helped us to do it in a way where we've been no burden to the churches.
03:34:14: We've just helped them, equipped them. You did that. You supported us. You prayed.
03:34:19: And right now we have legislators in Indiana, South Carolina, Texas, Oklahoma, and in Arizona who are going to be putting in bills to criminalize abortion, to resist
03:34:31: Roe v. Wade, and to criminalize abortion at the state level. It's going to be happening here in Arizona.
03:34:38: It's already being submitted, and all that's happening because of the work of EndAbortionNow .com
03:34:44: and other believers across the country who are trying to establish justice, true justice for these pre -born children.
03:34:51: Will you join us again in 2021? Of course, pray for us. Of course, please sign up at EndAbortionNow .com
03:34:58: with your church. Save some lives with us. There's Christians all over the country that need you to join us.
03:35:04: We need your help to save lives. But also, partner with us so we can equip more churches, develop more media ministries to speak to this issue in the public square together, and to once and for all criminalize abortion in our nation.
03:35:18: Help us to meet our matching donation for 2020. Help us through 2021 to save more lives and to end the slaughter of these innocent pre -born children in the womb.
03:35:30: When you give to EndAbortionNow .com, you're giving to equip local churches to save lives. That's all there is to it.
03:35:38: Lives are being saved every single day across the country and around the world now because of believers just like you who gave.
03:35:46: You are helping to raise churches up, and you are saving lives. You're helping to establish media ministries like Apologia Studios that are speaking to this issue consistently, that are raising up Christians, that are helping to actually end, to criminalize the issue of abortion.
03:36:02: You're helping us to actually train and equip Christians to do what we've been able to do across the country now.
03:36:08: Christians have been able to talk to their legislators and demand immediate justice. Just think about this.
03:36:14: Ten years ago, we weren't in a place that we are now where we have legislators who are actually saying,
03:36:21: End it. It's over. We're criminalizing this. We're abolishing it. Now we're here.
03:36:27: Christians have been working so faithfully in this area, and you can partner with a ministry like Apologia through EndAbortionNow to raise up churches, to bring the message of the gospel into conflict with abortion, and to bring the message of immediate justice to legislatures across the country like this one.
03:36:44: It's happening in Arizona right now. We have people all over the country now who are in this.
03:36:51: This is unprecedented in our time to see so many changes right on the line.
03:36:58: And I just want to reiterate again, I am so looking forward to the day as a pastor where we never do another one of these videos except just to celebrate what
03:37:07: God has done. We never ask for another penny. The pro -life industry is an industry.
03:37:12: It's a business. When you give this to the church, the church can work with the gospel to end this issue and never ask for another penny.
03:37:21: Brothers and sisters, will you give? Help us to match our donation so we can fund all the work for 2021.
03:37:29: Will you help us in this moment in time to work to the end of abortion as the
03:37:35: Christian church? Help us to work in such a way that we end this, we don't regulate it, we criminalize it, and establish justice for our pre -born neighbors now.
03:37:45: That's what's happening. So many churches, so many lives saved. Now, more media ministries than ours able to speak to this with good quality content, with a consistent message, and working with the legislators to criminalize this issue in our country.
03:38:00: Will you partner with a Christian church that makes this about the gospel, that makes this about ending abortion once and for all?
03:38:09: We can celebrate together when we never ask for another penny from a
03:38:14: Christian to end this issue because it's ended. Go to endabortionnow .com,
03:38:21: sign up with your church to join us in saving lives. Go to endabortionnow .com
03:38:27: to give towards the work of 2021. All of your giving goes towards raising up churches, saving lives, creating media content and media ministries to speak to this issue and to training churches to actually end this at the legislature.
03:38:43: Join us for 2021, brothers and sisters. I'd be so grateful if you did. This year,
03:38:59: Endabortion Now gave cinema -quality video production kits to four of the most active abortion clinic ministries.
03:39:05: These kits, valued at over $5 ,000 each, include a Blackmagic 6K camera, multiple lenses, audio, tripod, and accessories.
03:39:14: The goal was to flood the internet with gospel -centered video content so that more people might see babies getting saved in their communities and get involved.
03:39:23: So the things we've got on the camera just in the few days since we've been using it are two or three saves, I think, already.
03:39:29: Interactions with all types of people that come to the mills and some angry, some happy.
03:39:35: A lot of people are dying. Just being able to capture everything that's happening has been really good.
03:39:42: The video equipment's helpful because just from going out, I've heard of quite a bit of people who have watched other videos that people who go out to the mill put out there and it encourages people who kind of have the thought of wanting to step out, but they're not sure.
03:40:00: So then they watch other people go out to the mill and they think to themselves, I can do this. I think a camera like this is more helpful than just an ordinary
03:40:07: GoPro because greater detail, you're able to capture more of what really goes on out there.
03:40:14: If I upload a GoPro video, it's scratchy, it's not capturing everything, you can block it with your coat so you can't really see the face -to -face conversation that we're having, but with a camera like this, you get to capture the whole conversation.
03:40:29: You get to actually witness the mother's face.
03:40:36: Her eyes are lit up and her smile is huge. With a GoPro, you can't really capture that.
03:40:41: It's awesome to watch God move at these places and it's really great to be able to show other people, to record these things and show other people the way
03:40:50: God moves and what He does at these places and the way He saves babies.
03:41:03: Ken Cheeseman, Raleigh, North Carolina. We wanted to do some evangelism, but then we started seeing abortion ministry could be effective for evangelism.
03:41:18: YouTube, just started watching, found Durbin, confronting people, and then, yeah,
03:41:27: YouTube, basically. Well, I mean, at the place that we're at now, we have our pro -life,
03:41:39: I don't know, pregnancy center type place that's completely hostile and hates what we do.
03:41:46: They're trying to do what we do, and they really just hate the gospel, I think.
03:41:52: They don't give them the gospel. They're out there and they say, we're not with them, we're not with them.
03:41:59: Yeah, we're not with them. No. And they have gift bags.
03:42:04: There's food in the bag. There's information about getting the ultrasound, but we asked them to look in the bag, and there's not even a gospel tract.
03:42:16: I really do think they're ashamed of the gospel. It's about handing out these bags and getting people to have the ultrasound so they can check the box, so they can extort money from churches that are afraid to share the gospel.
03:42:34: People should support end abortion now because they're not ashamed of the gospel, and they're proclaiming the law of God, which that's what's going to work on the heart to bring people to the knowledge of Jesus Christ.
03:42:51: I mean, it is the gospel. We can't be ashamed of the full counsel of God. If we don't proclaim it, if the church doesn't proclaim it, there's no organization on earth that will.
03:43:05: And then you have these pseudo -Christian organizations, again, extorting and taking money from Christians in the name of Christ, but will not speak the true message of Jesus Christ.
03:43:34: We knew of a woman that had needed some help, and we had chosen to help her with her pregnancy, and she birthed a little girl, and we continued to help her for a couple years, and she ended up pregnant, an unwanted pregnancy, and she wanted to get an abortion, and I just couldn't fathom that.
03:44:01: And I talked to her about it being murder and that it's just you can't do that.
03:44:08: She couldn't do it. I just wasn't going to let her do it. And I said, we'll talk tomorrow. Next day came.
03:44:14: She was living at her home, by the way. Next day came, and she still wanted to, and I said, you couldn't.
03:44:20: I told her she couldn't. And four days went by, and on the fourth day, she said that she had already ruined him, that she had already ruined him, that she said that she had already been doing things that she shouldn't have been doing while she was pregnant, and she said that nobody would want him.
03:44:37: And I said that I would. I said that she couldn't get an abortion and that I wanted him.
03:44:45: And then I called my husband, and I told him what I said, and he was like, okay, we're going to have another baby.
03:44:52: And he was born two months early, and his name is Jaris, and we are so blessed by him, and I'm so blessed that that mom chose life.
03:45:04: I'm so blessed that she trusted me, that she trusted me to help her through her pregnancy and to care for him.
03:45:19: And he's one. He's one. Well, he's number 10, and he is full of energy, and we hadn't had a boy for a while, so it's just, he's a bundle of joy.
03:45:34: He is more than what
03:45:39: I expected. He's right on track with kids his age. He's not been affected by anything that she was doing.
03:45:50: He's perfect. So this is actually, to my mind, a historic site.
03:46:13: It's a place where one of the giants of the faith of our generation has stood and ministered for 16 years.
03:46:22: It's a really incredible spot. This is the Orlando Women's Center. I've only been here for a little bit as we're getting everything set up to do this for you so you can see this place.
03:46:33: And just in being here for a short time, I've already seen several mothers and fathers going in and out.
03:46:41: I've watched two women who came in here to kill their children stumble out and sort of be carried out by the fathers of the children.
03:46:54: And so it really can be a devastating emotional experience to be out here, to be so close.
03:47:03: We've been in this for maybe about a decade, preaching the gospel at abortion mills, raising up churches to go and save lives.
03:47:11: Thousands of children have been saved through the work of the churches through End Abortion Now who have come out to preach the gospel, to offer help and hope and love to mothers and fathers who are going in to kill their children.
03:47:22: But where we're at, we can't get this close to the abortion mills. So this, for me, is a really powerful experience, not just because of how close you can be to the mothers and the fathers who are going in there to kill their children, how close you can be to the paid assassin who's out back smoking, and to the staff that are out there smoking in between killing children.
03:47:49: But it's an amazing place to be because of what's taken place at this location.
03:47:55: John Barros is my hero of the faith, one of my heroes of the faith.
03:48:01: He's been out here faithfully. He's been a silent hero for so long, every single day coming out here to preach the gospel to these mothers and fathers, to plead for the lives of their children.
03:48:11: He's been doing it for 16 years. I call him a silent hero because he was doing this and he was faithful out here every single day before people really cared about who he was or had cameras on him or could do live feeds out here.
03:48:25: He was just saving children by the thousands before it was cool. And so many miracles have happened here at the
03:48:35: Orlando Women's Center, too many miracles to actually talk about right now on this particular clip.
03:48:41: But miracles happening, I mean, even every day. I've talked to the two men that are out here today and they've already seen,
03:48:47: I think, two or three saves today just by being here, being faithful, standing on the truth and preaching
03:48:54: Christ. But I wanted to show you this. This, for me, is a moment that I will never forget.
03:49:02: John's one of my heroes. He's inspired me to do this work. End abortion now exists in many ways because of his testimony and his work.
03:49:09: But I've wanted to come here for so long to experience just being here at the place where God has moved to save thousands of children from death over so many years.
03:49:21: And I've wanted to come here because, well, because of this.
03:49:27: This is actually a very, very powerful thing. John, many of you guys know, stands on crutches.
03:49:35: So not only does he come to the abortion mill to preach the gospel and save lives all day long, and let me just tell you right now, it's hot out here.
03:49:41: It's hot. It's not comfortable. But he stands on crutches and he's been here for so long, so faithfully been here for so long, for 16 years, that he's literally worn the sidewalk down.
03:49:56: He's worn the sidewalk down right in front of the doors where the mothers and fathers are going in to kill their children.
03:50:03: This has been his station. Right here. This is his spot. And this is where the gospel has come from, this worn down sidewalk, right into those doors, into those mothers and fathers in there who are going to kill their children.
03:50:20: The gospel has come out from this spot so many thousands of times, and God has saved so many thousands of children.
03:50:28: To my mind, this ought to be a monument. It is a monument.
03:50:34: It is a monument. It's a monument to one man's faithfulness, to a silent hero, a man who's given his life for these children.
03:50:45: And I was saying this earlier, so many thousands of children are going to go through their whole lives and never even hear the story of the hero who saved their lives.
03:50:53: Many of the mothers and fathers who turned away from killing the children aren't going to tell their child, you know,
03:50:59: I was going to kill you and then this man stopped me. They'll never tell them. Who knows?
03:51:06: God knows. John knows. Those mothers and fathers know. But their children, they won't know that their life is a reality because of one man's faithfulness in this hot sun, outside of this one place of death for so many years.
03:51:26: And there's a monument to his heroic acts. There's a monument to his faithfulness.
03:51:34: And it truly is incredible because, I don't know if it comes through on the camera, like it does when you're here, but if you feel the sidewalk all around here, it's consistent, it's rough, but as soon as you move over here,
03:51:52: John has stood here and you can see where he's worn the sidewalk down and even where when he was standing on his crutches, he's worn the sidewalk down to where this is white, but it's not just white, he's literally worn it down to where there's holes in the concrete.
03:52:12: You can feel this man's faithfulness. The monument to it. All of this dark and consistent and then the concrete just worn down from the weight of his body pushing into those crutches, leaving a mark of gospel faithfulness going through those doors.
03:52:35: And it's powerful because wouldn't it be amazing if one day like this was an actual historic site?
03:52:44: I think it ought to be. I know it is in God's mind. But to me, this is one of the most precious moments of my life to be able to see this because this man and his silent faithfulness, the silent hero, was out here preaching the gospel to these women saving lives long before most of us got involved in this.
03:53:06: There are many heroes besides John, don't forget that, but many of us today who are out preaching the gospel and saving lives are doing it in a particular context that's just so different.
03:53:16: John and others like him were out here as silent heroes before most of us had woken up.
03:53:25: And here's the monument to his faithfulness. I'm so glad I got to touch it.
03:53:31: And you can not just hear this story, you cannot just hear this story and say, oh, that was amazing, praise
03:53:41: God for this man and move on. Don't do that. Don't do that.
03:53:49: We're a part of this now as the church with the gospel to save lives and preach the gospel.
03:53:56: This is about the truth. This isn't merely a political situation.
03:54:02: I'm not trying to draw on your heartstrings. There's real children being slaughtered inside this location and others like it that are near you.
03:54:13: You can be a part of what God is doing to save children and to bring the gospel into conflict with the issue of abortion.
03:54:24: All right, I've been asked to give five tips on how to get started in abortion ministry. Everywhere you go, everything's going to be a little bit different, but these are five things that I think are pretty essential.
03:54:37: Number one, I think that the best deal is when we are able to own that abortion clinic, when you're able to get somebody there full time to head up the ministry there.
03:54:50: I'm so thankful that there's people around the country now that are doing that. But it's very important to own that place.
03:54:57: I'm at my abortion clinic every day, and there's people that can come and minister. They know that they're going to be in Orlando that day or a certain day for some other doctor's appointment or something.
03:55:10: So they know, though, that they can come by that clinic and minister there for an hour or two or do whatever on any day and then once everybody knows that you're there, then it flows that people would come down and minister with you.
03:55:24: It's very important that you have the local church behind you and that you're supported and fed and taken care of by the people in your church, that they agree with you, that they're behind this type of ministry, that they believe that the church should be down fighting for the lives of innocent babies and that the gospel should be brought to such a wicked place.
03:55:53: Now, I know there's a lot of people whose churches aren't behind them for that, but I would suggest then that you try to find another church.
03:56:03: I know that I wouldn't be able to do what I do if I didn't have the support, love, and care of not only the leaders in my church, but also the members of my church.
03:56:14: Well, they provide care, prayer, love. They support financially.
03:56:20: They also have a support for the people that choose life. There's a group of women at our church that when someone chooses life at the abortion clinic, you can turn them over to them and they'll be discipled, they'll be taken care of, they'll become involved in their lives.
03:56:40: And it's a very important thing. Another thing that you need to do is to know
03:56:48: Scripture, especially Scripture that pertains to the ministry down at the mill.
03:56:55: God tells us in Romans 1 that the gospel is the power of God.
03:57:02: So when we come there, our two weapons are prayer and God's Word.
03:57:08: And those are the tools that He has instituted for us to fight this fight with.
03:57:16: So you don't want to go down there without a sword. You don't want to go get into a battle without a sword.
03:57:22: So just study as much as you can Scriptures that pertain to what
03:57:27: God thinks of abortion, what the consequences of it are, His faithfulness to everyone that is obedient and commits themselves to Him.
03:57:38: And repents of it. Always have and always be looking, never quit looking actually, for resources.
03:57:45: I'm fortunate that I have several pregnancy centers in the Orlando area, but we also have people in our church that do.
03:57:54: And everything from adoption to just taking care of whatever needs they have.
03:58:01: But just always know what you can. It takes time. I know if you're going to go start at a brand new place, it's going to take you time to figure all these things out, but the
03:58:12: Lord will lead you in it. It's very important, too, that you have follow -up with these ladies as much as they'll let you into their lives.
03:58:22: There's a dear lady that comes down and helps the clinic where I'm at. Her name's Karen. She has
03:58:28: Bible studies and everything for people that choose life and tries to disciple them and tries to lead them all to Christ and be involved evangelistically in their families as well.
03:58:45: That is really important because so many of them, if you're not careful, can fall through the cracks.
03:58:51: Even when you are really trying to not let anybody fall through the cracks, it can happen.
03:58:58: You want people that can take care of that thing. All I can do myself, personally, is
