My name is Andrew Belanger. I've got a wife and three kids, one kid on the way. We live in Detroit.
00:06
We go out to the mill out there. It's called Scottsdale Women's Center. And so we go there preaching the gospel, pleading with moms.
00:38
The first thing that got us involved was watching Babies Are Murdered Here. That really opened my wife and I's eyes and was one of the biggest things that God used to get us up off the couch.
00:48
And then another thing was when we were watching Apologia, there was an interview that Justin Phillips and Eric Stewart were part of.
00:56
And we just said, well, these guys are an hour away from our house. Maybe we go check them out. We go stand with them and see what it's like.
01:02
Maybe they'll allow us to do that. And so we did. And that was the second biggest thing that God used to get us up off the couch and go.
01:09
Actually going there, standing with Justin, seeing moms walk into the mill, having already watched the documentary, but now actually seeing it, realizing that a mom is going in with her baby and only the mom is coming out.
01:22
That was huge. The first day I went full time, I put my two -week notice in, went out two weeks afterwards, went up to the mill.
01:31
And that first day, God saved a baby, Kaylin. I'll never forget her. Right now we are vocalized at this killing center in Scottsdale Women's Center in Detroit.
01:42
And we want this place to be shut down. We want abortion to stop in Detroit. And we believe that as we go out, the church goes out preaching the gospel, then
01:50
God would use and bless the preaching of the gospel to end abortion. We know that this is murder. We know of a specific place where children are being murdered and God commands us not to murder.
02:02
I know that to live is Christ, but to die is gain. And that these children, they need to hear a voice.
02:08
The last loving thing that these mothers do for their child is eat the meal that they had before they go into the abortion mill.
02:15
God commands his church to be a voice, Proverbs 31, 8 and 9. Open your mouth for the meal. And so these children, they're unable to use their voices and we want to be a voice for them.
02:24
So I want you to do all that you can right now. And say,
02:32
Mom, children are a blessing from the Lord, a gift from God. And God doesn't make mistakes.
02:38
God gives good gifts. Children are a blessing. You might be in a difficult time.
02:45
You might think that you're alone, but God doesn't make mistakes. This child is placed in your womb and God can even use what you deem as a fearful thing for good.
02:55
God can even use our evil for good. This child is a gift. And this child, you know, in your heart, as God made you in his image, he put his law in your heart.
03:06
You know that this is wrong to consider abortion. You know that this is ending the life of your child, your son or your daughter.
03:14
Children are fearfully, wonderfully made by God. He's the author of life. He's given you life.
03:20
He's given life to this child. Jesus says to seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness and what you need will be given to you.
03:28
Sin, it makes us do wicked things. And we walk down that way, choosing those wicked things because our eyes are not on him.
03:37
Our eyes are on what we can see. And a lot of times what we can see is not really good things.
03:43
So I would plead with you to put your eyes upon Jesus Christ. Look to him. Trust in him.
03:49
He's given life to this child. He's given life to you. He won't leave you nor forsake you. If you trust in him, then what you need will be given to you.
03:57
And he'll help you through the fear and help you through the worry. He doesn't leave nor forsake his people.
04:03
He's the good shepherd. He laid his life down for his friends. He died on the cross for our sins and he rose from the dead three days later.
04:11
God says in Romans chapter eight, he who did not spare his own son, will he not now freely give you all things?
04:17
He gives all things to his people, those who are in Christ and those who are in Christ can receive the blessing of God.
