I'm Jeff Durbin with Apologia Church and EndAbortionNow .com. Recently we launched

00:05

EndAbortionNow .com and since that time over 115 local churches from across the

00:11

United States have logged on to EndAbortionNow .com, have got onto the website to get their free resources, their free training, and we just finished actually

00:20

EndAbortionNow the conference. We had pastors, leaders, Christians from across the

00:25

United States, from Alaska to Florida, from New York to Los Angeles. We came together in Phoenix, Arizona to mobilize, to fellowship, to get on the mission together, to bring the gospel to abortion clinics across the

00:40

United States and to speak prophetically to our legislatures to criminalize abortion at the state level.

00:45

It truly is humbling and amazing to be part of such an amazing gospel -centered movement.

00:52

Christians across the country bringing the gospel to the abortion mills to save the lives of children, to bring the gospel to mothers and fathers who are considering murdering their children, and to speak together as one voice that abortion is murder and that our legislatures should criminalize it immediately and save the lives of the pre -born.

01:11

When you go to EndAbortionNow .com you can sign up with your local church to bring the gospel to your local abortion clinics and when you do you get free training, you get free resources, you get a kit with all that you need to go to the abortion mills with.

01:25

When you first sign on with your church at EndAbortionNow .com there is a special form you have to basically read and agree to.

01:33

And this form essentially talks about methodology, what works.

01:39

There was a time not really far away from us in our past where Christians actually across the

01:44

United States went to abortion mills and they stood in front of the abortion clinic.

01:50

They oftentimes chained themselves to block people from going inside. They engaged in criminal trespassing and these sorts of things really as a symbol to really the nation that we were no longer going to stand for this kind of injustice perpetrated upon fatherless children.

02:08

What we learned from that experience was that it really didn't do very much to end abortion at all.

02:14

As a matter of fact, the abortion clinics stayed open. What it did do is it brought a lot of legal trouble for Christians, pastors, leaders, churches across the

02:24

United States. Unnecessary legal troubles that ultimately just distracted from the overall mission to bring the gospel to the abortion mills and to save the lives of children.

02:35

And so one of the things we think is important with EndAbortionNow .com is to make the issue about the gospel.

02:42

Bringing the gospel consistently to the clinics, ministering to the mothers and fathers going in, saving lives, and speaking with a consistent biblical gospel -saturated message to our legislature.

02:54

What's not effective is to be caught up in unnecessary legal battles. What's not effective is ultimately to get arrested for really no reason.

03:02

What's not effective is to be distracted in that way. What is effective is this.

03:10

Each of these signs represents a local Christian church from across the United States on mission to bring the gospel to their local clinic, to preach the gospel, to rescue babies, and to minister to mothers and fathers, to offer them help with all of their needs.

03:26

This is what's effective. Bringing local churches into this fight to bring the good news to the local mills, that's what's effective.

03:34

Each of these signs represents just that. When we engage in lawlessness, when we engage in criminal trespassing, when we do things that are ultimately illegal in this context, we are ultimately destroying the mission.

03:51

The mission is to bring the gospel to the abortion clinics. That's what's effective. What we've discovered is that we can save lives.

03:58

We can save lives like the pastor in Tennessee who saw what we were doing, was encouraged by it, and decided to go to the clinics himself.

04:05

He saved, in less than a year, about 120 babies. That's what's effective.

04:11

What we've discovered is that it's really important for us to recognize that our weapons are not carnal. We don't fight this battle the way that the world does.

04:18

There's no need to violate laws. There's no need to engage in criminal trespassing. We would never, under any circumstance, want to engage in any kind of act of physical violence.

04:29

That's not how the kingdom of God advances, and so what we have discovered is that the effective way to fight against abortion and this awful injustice in our nation is to bring the gospel as local churches to the abortion clinics, to offer to adopt their babies, to love these mothers and fathers, to tell them the truth, to tell them we'll support them, that we'll provide for their needs.

04:51

That's effective. What's effective is speaking with one voice as Christian churches across the

04:57

United States to our leaders, to our legislature, and to tell them we will not stand any longer for the murder of innocent pre -born children and that we demand justice now.

05:10

And so what we want to do is encourage Christians across the United States to get connected to endabortionnow .com

05:17

to get your free training, to get your free resources, to get the support you need, to contact your local legislature through endabortionnow .com

05:25

to avoid any unnecessary legal trouble by violating the law, by criminal trespassing, and of course, under no circumstance should

05:34

Christians ever engage in any kind of act of physical violence against a person engaged in abortion.

05:40

That's just not how we win this battle, and it is in fact sin, a very serious sin.

05:46

And so we want to encourage you, if you have not spoken to your pastors yet, to your leaders yet, if you have not yet gone to endabortionnow .com

05:54

to get connected with your church, to join with Christians across the country to bring the gospel into this issue, we want to encourage you to go to endabortionnow .com

06:04

right now. Get the free resources, get the free training, and then join the

06:09

Church of Jesus Christ across the United States as we bring the gospel here, and we trust

06:14

God to change the heart of our culture of death into a culture of life, as we preach the good news of Jesus Christ, that God became a man and a person of Christ, that He lived a perfect and sinless life, that He died for sinners, and that He rose from the dead, and that He commands men and women and children everywhere to repent of their sins and to come to Him for life, forgiveness, peace, and reconciliation with God.

06:40

That's the message. We're calling on you to join us. Join endabortionnow .com.
