The Man Who Saved Over 2000 Children

So as you guys know on next week with Jeff Durbin We like to have lots of guests on and do some really compelling and important interviews. We've had some important people some big-name people and superstars and today We are gonna have somebody on who has a big name in heaven and his name is John Barros.

John Barros and the Ministry Outside the Orlando Women's Center

He's one of our heroes of the faith and he's a giant of the faith. So let's welcome John Barros. What's up, big John?

Hey, so good to see you guys.

Well, welcome brother. So I want to get a chance to introduce you to everybody right now to our new audience on next week. John tell us about yourself and what you do on a daily basis.

Well, I minister in front of an Orlando Women's Center an abortion mill in Orlando and I've been there every day. Except Saturday for the last eight years and I get to I. Get to show up and watch him show off.

So you've been out there for about eight years standing outside of an abortion mill to Preach the gospel to offer help and love and support to women and fathers that are going in. You are you have been instrumental in in blessing us and encouraging us to get involved in this work.

Can you just let people know right now who are watching? How many babies do you think have been saved through your efforts outside of that abortion mill?

Well, the funny thing is I always want to make straight that I have never saved one baby. But I've been able to go there and be able to see God move and I've over the last eight years. It's been pretty steady.

The last couple of months would be a little bit off but 20 to 30 girls a month choose life there.

Recent Legal Trouble Surrounding the Abortion Provider

Absolutely incredible. So John I want to introduce everybody to you so they can get to know you. But before I talk a bit about you. Can you tell us about the recent events with the Orlando Women's Center and the abortionist who kills children there?

Well, you're talking about the court. Yes, okay. He James Pendergraft the owner he Is a convicted felon spent time in prison. His license medical license suspended for the fifth time indefinitely. He owes the state of Florida a hundred and forty thousand dollars in fines and was found guilty of Just throwing a young lady and fined thirty six million dollars.

So he's resorted to other means and he he got caught.

And.

Arrested for manufacturing and sales of dangerous drugs like LSD cocaine heroin methamphetamines marijuana and.

I.

Really was hoping that he was going to be gone, but he got arrested in South Carolina and they are far more lenient on people there. Then they are in Florida. Defense attorney here told me that just one of those charges here in Florida would have been a 15-year minimum mandatory.

But he ended up only getting a five-year suspended sentence with five years probation.

Why Consistent Gospel Preaching at the Abortion Mill Matters

Well, you you stand outside of this abortion mill and you talk to them and going inside and if I can paint the picture. For our viewers, the Orlando Women's Center is actually really accessible in terms of you know, right there on a public street.

John is able to get really really close so you can communicate to the women that are going in a lot of times women Have to show up early so they get to listen to John talk to them for for quite a long time.

John give us an example of an Inspirational or encouraging story of when God moved in some powerful way outside of that abortion milk. I think that we'd love to encourage Christians across the country to start being consistent in this area to preach the gospel.

Consistently to be bold to be a prophetic voice to our culture and even to join With our movement under the banner of end abortion now at an abortion now comm. But what what can you do to give something?

Encouraging by way of God moving at the abortion mill.

Well, honestly, we get to see him move in such power that it's it's amazing. Just the other day. There was a girl That came down. I'll call her Cheryl and she. Her and her boyfriend were coming and he was trying he was really trying to force her in and they were both real cocky and you know all the stuff people say to you, but.

After.

The preaching the girl couldn't take it inside there anymore and she she kept coming out and she would she would sit on the wall and With me and she would let me Add some things to say and then she would stop me and say wait.

No, I don't want to hear any more. Okay, and then she'd go walk around she'd come back and I'd give her a few more things and and then this Lady help Karen that comes down with me spent some time with her and was just encouraging her and then At one point the boyfriend was still trying to get her to go get back in but she couldn't take it in there anymore and the I just asked her does your mother know you're here and.

And.

She said no and then I believe she immediately started texting her mom and when her mom showed up. And her mom jumped out of the car and it was like no, no, no, no, no, no. No, what? No, no, no, and.

And.

She stood out there and yelled I will raise this baby and and then they hugged each other. It was just a beautiful thing. And You know, you just get to see a lot of these things go on. I know a lot of people go to Abortion clinics and then they go there for what they call the quote-unquote killing times.

But God doesn't work on our timetable. You really need to be there the whole time doesn't mean every person needs to be there the whole time. You can split it up, but God is working in these people's hearts.

And you know, I've had them come literally off the table at 430 on a Friday afternoon. And choose life it took and That's what happens is we we spend time with them and then they all know we love them.

We tell them things they don't want to hear and of course God's Word It tells us in Romans 1 is that that's his power. So we share the gospel. We preach the gospel what he demands what he requires and how He will never let them go if they put their trust in him.

How Holding Saved Children Changes the Heart

John. Can I ask you brother? How has Holding these children in your arms and Looking at them in their eyes and seeing them run around your church. How has it. How has that changed you? Oh.

It's it's just amazing. You know, it's it. Most of them most girls that choose life. They do not even want to remember they were ever at an abortion clinic. But the ones that come back and then the. I had a grandmother pull up in her minivan and I was out preaching and she jumps out of her minivans as a are you John.

And I said yes. She goes. She just burst into tears and she slid the side door open of the minivan. And here's this little boy in the back corner or in the car seat and she goes. I just found out from my daughter today that she was here and that she came out because of the preaching and the thing and.

To be able to hold those kids is just there's nothing like it.

Responding to Critics of Bold Pro-Life Ministry

John so The thing people will say to you today modern evangelicals That are essentially I'll be as gracious as I can with this cowards. They'll say John just leave those women alone, that's not how you win those women.

Now you've seen God Save over a thousand babies through your efforts at the abortion mill. And yet there are still modern evangelicals that are such cowards. They'll say that's not how you reach those women.

Which means if we took their if we took their methodology and bit down all these babies would be dead. How do you respond? This would be the last question. How do you respond to the modern evangelical?

That's a coward that says don't do this kind of work. It's too Much of a serrated edge. It's not loving there's a different way to win these women. What would you what do you say to them? I.

Don't even know where to start. I have pastors that are down helping me now on a regular basis that thought that way at one time. But they've seen what God does doesn't I mean I could go on for a Hundred hours hundreds of hours.

I know just explaining things that are that are it. But it's all goes back to the when you're at that place and that baby's gonna die in a few minutes. How dare anybody tell you you're doing it wrong?

How dare anybody tell you you're doing it wrong? Whatever plan they had didn't work because that girl is there right now and in a matter of few minutes All kinds of people's lives are gonna be changed and one at least is going to be dead.

Well, you are and I'm you know that I mean it when I say it to you John I'm not just I'm not just trying to fluff you up or encouraging a courage just encourage you in some way. That's a cavalier. I mean it genuinely.

You are one of my heroes of the faith. You are a giant in the faith and so we praise God for you. Thank you, John for all the work you do and thank you for being such an inspiration to all of us.

Wait one second. You guys are the ones that I have my hope in. I'm an old man now and you guys are doing things literally on an international level. God's called me to one little place I stay there. He hasn't called me to do anything else.

But to watch you guys and the impact you guys are making all around this literally this world. I've spoke to Several ladies in Ireland this week and it's just amazing to see what you guys are doing.

I can't thank you guys enough. Well, it honestly did begin with us seeing you in the film babies are murdered here. So Right back at you brother. Thank you for joining us on next week, brother.
