Ministry from July- November,

2003...

a full-time counseling presence continued at Repro

until funding ran out on 8/29, but the lives of 47

children had been saved since 10/15/02.

Below is Richard,  who with Mike and others

would stop by to encourage.   With Don,  Ryan,

Elijah,  and sometimes others we still offer truth

and help on the Saturdays Repro is open,  which

is now every other Saturday.  For the employees

who've quit this year,  you'll find peace only

by coming to God through Christ.  See highlights

below...

... on August 30,  while discussing Planned Parenthood's intent to build the largest abortion clinic in 10 counties in south Austin with longtime activist Mr. Chris Danze,  we decided to send registered letters to all the Austin building community,  asking them to not participate in the clinic construction.   Mr. Danze has been a partner for 20 years in Maldonado and Danze,  Inc., a foundation building firm and has extensive contacts in the industry.   What happened was truly a work of God that surprised us and the growing number of people helping the boycott in many ways.   Week after week more and more people in Austin and throughout the U. S. volunteered to make calls,  pray,  meet with contractors for lunch,  supply information,  and more.  By November 5th,  after their subcontractors had gotten hundreds of calls and many had quit,  Browing Construction of San Antonio,  the General Contractor,  withdrew from the job.    For the first time in known history of the U. S. pro-life movement,  the construction of an abortion clinic had been at least temporarily halted.   Planned Parenthood ( with 140 clinics, the largest U. S. abortion clinic chain  and subsidized by your tax dollars) may yet try to continue the work but it will be costly.   At the boycott's end,  for example,   only electrician agreeing to work on the clinic was found 160 miles away in Euless,  Texas.  The photo shows the locked construction site gate at 201 E. Ben White in Austin.   

       ... many more stories could be told of unborn lives saved at Repro... on 8/14,  Patrick,  tattoos,  earrings and all,  stopped to give me a Coke,  telling me that because his mom was $30 short of being able to pay for an abortion 25 years ago,  he was alive today...  8/5... a couple entered with a picture of Jesus on their dashboard and I asked them "Why do you call Him Lord and not do what he says?"... saying very little they turned around,  said they had come to abort but had now changed their mind,  thanked me and immediately left.... 

        ... why did we and others go to jail for words written on a stone?... they are far more than ordinary words!   Laws come from what we believe to be right and wrong,  and those beliefs come from what we know about God and what He says.   The Bible says God's word is to lead us to salvation in Galatians 3:24, "Therefore the Law has become our tutor to lead us to Christ,  so that we may be justified by faith."   Without the conviction of sin from His Law,  we are never saved!   Then each man will do what he sees as right in his own eyes and only chaos rules.  Readers,  without Christianity America will collapse.  All 22 of us were charged with trespassing in peacefully trying to keep the monument from being removed.    By the way,  did you know that the concept or phrase "the separation of church and state " IS NOT found in the U. S. constitution?
