00:33

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,

00:44

I minister in front of an Orlando Women's Center an abortion mill in Orlando and I've been there every day

00:54

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?

01:08

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 and blessing us and encouraging us to get involved in this work

01:19

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?

01:28

Well the funny thing is I always want to make straight that I have never saved one baby

01:33

But I've been able to go there and be able to see God move and I've over the last eight years.

01:39

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

01:49

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

01:58

Can you tell us about the recent events with the Orlando Women's Center and the abortionist who kills children there?

02:06

Well you're talking about the court yes, okay he

02:12

James Pendergraft the owner he is a convicted felon spent time in prison

02:19

His license medical license suspended for the fifth time indefinitely He owes the state of Florida $140 ,000 in fines and was found guilty of Just throwing a young lady in fine thirty six million dollars, so he's resorted to other means and he he got caught and arrested for manufacturing 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

03:00

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

03:10

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

03:17

Hmm 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

03:24

The Orlando Women's Center is actually really accessible in terms of you know right there on a public street

03:31

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

03:37

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

03:49

God moved in some powerful way outside of that abortion mill because I think that We'd love to encourage

03:54

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

04:02

With our movement under the banner of end abortion now at endabortionnow .com

04:07

But what what can you do to it to give something encouraging by way of God moving at the abortion mill?

04:14

Well, honestly we get to see him move in such power that it's it's amazing just the other day.

04:20

There was a girl That came down. I'll call her Cheryl and she

04:27

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 Um 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

04:50

Add some things to say and then she would stop me and say wait. No, I don't want to hear any more

04:57

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 helped

05:06

Karen that comes down with me spent some time with her and was just encouraging her and then

05:15

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

05:24

I just asked her does your mother know you're here and and She said no, and then

05:32

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.

05:40

No, what? No, no, no, and and she stood out there and yelled

05:46

I will raise this baby and And then they hugged each other. It's just a beautiful thing

05:51

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

06:00

I go there for what they call the quote -unquote killing times, but God doesn't work on our timetable

06:07

You really need to be there the whole time doesn't mean every person needs to be there the whole time

06:14

You can split it up, but God is working in these people's hearts And you know,

06:19

I've had them come literally off the table at 430 on a Friday afternoon

06:25

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

06:34

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

06:43

So we share the gospel. We preach the gospel what he demands what he requires and how

06:50

He will never let them go if they put their trust in him John Can I ask you brother?

06:58

How has Holding these children in your arms and Looking in them in their eyes and seeing them run around your church.

07:09

How has it how has that changed you? Oh It's it's just amazing.

07:14

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

07:28

I had a grandmother pull up in her minivan and I was out preaching and she jumps out of her minivan says it.

07:36

Are you John? I said yes She goes she just burst into tears and she slid the side door open of the minivan

07:43

And here's this little boy in the back corner or in the car seat and she goes

07:49

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

08:02

John so The thing people will say to you today modern evangelicals

08:09

That are essentially and I'll be as gracious as I can with this cowards They'll say

08:16

John just leave those women alone, that's not how you win those women Now you've seen

08:22

God Save over a thousand babies through your efforts at the abortion mill

08:28

And yet there are still modern evangelicals that are such cowards They'll say that's not how you reach those women

08:37

Which means if we took their if we took their methodology and bit down all these babies would be dead

08:44

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.

08:53

It's too Much of a serrated edge. It's not loving. There's a different way to win these women.

09:00

What would you what do you say to them? I Don't even know where to start

09:05

I have pastors that are down helping me now on a regular basis that thought that way at one time

09:12

But they've seen what God does doesn't I mean I could go on for a hundred hours hundreds of hours

09:20

Just explaining things that are that are it but it's all goes back to the when you're at that place

09:26

And that baby's gonna die in a few minutes How dare anybody tell you you're doing it wrong?

09:35

How dare anybody tell you you're doing it wrong? Whatever plan they had didn't work because that girl is there right now

09:43

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

09:52

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

10:02

That's a cavalier. I mean it genuinely you are one of my heroes of the faith

10:07

You are 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

10:15

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.

10:24

God's called me to one little place I stay there He hasn't called me to do anything else

10:29

But to watch you guys and the impact you guys are making all around this literally this world.

10:34

I've spoke to Several ladies in Ireland this week and it's just amazing to see what you guys are doing
