Ministry In Florida

Break our hearts O God, break our hearts

Break our hearts O God, break our hearts

For the sin in our lives, break our hearts

For the sin in our land, break our hearts ~ Passion

Our family and some friends to an abortion mill with John Barros in Orlando, Florida. This abortion mill does abortions up to 24 weeks and we were there ministering on February 5 2015, my mom's birthday. 

It was rainy and the hearts of so many people were cold, hard, deceitful, and depraved. They were not willing to listen to the Gospel that so many were proclaiming that day. These people were determined to carry out their evil and selfish plans by murdering their children and many future generations.

We stayed at the mill longer than we normally would and I am glad that we did. Before leaving the mill we saw something that I wish everyone could see: the horror of abortion and what it does to so many people.

A sweet sidewalk counselor spoke on the megaphone, proclaiming the Gospel and sharing her testimony. Meanwhile, a mom carried in her dead child wrapped in a grocery bag and blanket in the mill. We were all stunned!

This mom came in the beginning of the week to start her late term abortion and we were told that they were angry. Mr. John pleaded with them to save their child's life, but they went in anyway. 

This mom carried her dead child just like you would carry a newborn baby. While her husband/boyfriend drove in, she sat in the car between her two live children and held her dead one. This was a family who were not willing to put their selfish desires aside and give love to their innocent baby. Their third child died a brutal death through the haulocaust of abortion. 

I don't think that this mom will ever forget what she did to her son or daughter. She will always remember that day she murdered her little child.

Instead of being a baby loved and cherished by his/her family, he/she was tortured like so many other children who have died by abortion.



God, break our hearts for what breaks yours!

Remembering The Fatherless

This past Thursday was the 42nd anniversary of the Roe vs. Wade decision that legalized abortion. What are you doing to stop this murder and how are you proclaiming LIFE in your city?

We mourned and grieved the loss of over 500 million children who have died in the last 42 years. These children were brutally murdered by abortion. When will we say enough is enough? We need to go to God, the Creator of LIFE, and cry out in repentance for destroying HIS image bearers. May our hearts break for what breaks God's heart!

There have been over 500 babies saved from abortion last year and 32 this year so far in Charlotte, NC alone. What would it be like if these women went through their abortions? Would they regret their awful and painful decision? Would they feel suicidal? Would these women feel guilt, shame, anxiety, and depression if they had murdered their children? Would these women have trouble conceiving after their abortions? Would they have relationship troubles?  The answer is, "yes". But PRAISE GOD that these brave, strong, and courageous women have chosen LIFE and will not have to live with regret, but with their precious blessings.

Baby Malachi was aborted at 21 weeks (pictured above). Malachi did not have a loving mom and dad and there was no one outside the abortion mill to plead for his life. Malachi means 'Messenger' and I believe that he is. May Malachi's message bring our nation to its knees!

“Abortion will come to an end when the Church of Jesus Christ makes up her mind it will end and not one second sooner.” Rev. Flip Benham 

Reflecting on 2014!

Psalm 33:21-22 "We wait in hope for the Lord;He is our help and our shield. In Him our hearts rejoice, for we trust His Holy Name. May your unfailing love be with us, LORD, even as we put our hope in You."
Looking back on 2014, I see God's faithfulness, goodness, mercy in all the wonderful works He has done in my family.
Winter of 2014, we had three snowfalls in N.C. Its always a big deal when we have snow. We enjoyed sledding, throwing snowballs, making snow angels and making wonderful memories.  In the summer of 2014 we said temporary good-byes to three more babies via miscarriages and we were able to bury one of the three babies. God was still good during those times when we grieved. We prayed for comfort, and healing for our whole family. During that time, God remained faithful!
Fall of 2014, Our family went to a family conference in the mountains in NC. It was nice to be surrounded by similar-minded large families. We learned a lot, played games, enjoyed being with our friends, and enjoying the beauty of God's creation.
We also stayed in a cabin for three days in Blowing Rock, NC. My dad's client let our family use it for free. While we were there, we got a snowfall on the first day of November, it was pretty bad out there, so we had to stay inside most of the time, but we got cabin fever and were able to enjoy some time in the snow.
Throughout the whole year, my family loved hosting our brothers and sisters in Christ in our home. My siblings love playing with their friends and having camp-outs on our property. We also enjoyed having church at our home with some friends from our ministry. It was such  a sweet time of fellowship and worshiping the Lord. A father of six children got to baptize two of his children in our river and it was so beautiful to watch this special moment in their lives.
Last but not least there has been 516 lives SAVED from DEATH! Since 2008, two sidewalk counselors decided to keep track of the many saves in N.C. This means 516 children will get to have birthdays and have the possibility to become what God called them to be. They will get to experience so many things in this life, because there were faithful sidewalk soldiers who were pleading and proclaiming the Gospel in front of the "Gates of Hell' (abortion clinics) THANK YOU to all my faithful ministry friends for being obedient to Christ's calling and defending the hopeless throughout the whole year.
I can't wait to see what 2015 will hold for our family! What did 2014 looked like for you and your family?     

Father & Daughter Retreats

Psalm 1:3 " He will be like a tree  firmly planted by streams of water, which yields its fruit in its season, And its leaf does not wither; And in whatever he does,he prospers." 

Every year my dad and the older girls go to a father/daughter retreat that our church puts together. It is always so much fun hanging out with our dad and we enjoyed doing a lot of cool stuff that young ladies could do with our dads, but most importantly making our relationships with our dads grow stronger.

In 2012 the theme was " Have You In My Heart" and the verse was Psalm 28:7 "The Lord is my strength and my shield; my heart trusted in Him, and I am helped; therefore my heart greatly rejoices; and my song will praise Him." We focused on how our relationship should look like with our dad.  During the retreat in 2012, we learned how we as women of God should respond to our father's leadership.. We can accept it with gratitude and have our dads hearts or we can reject it. Which one do you choose?

In 2013, the theme was "Cultivating Women Of God" and the verse was Proverbs 31:30 "Charm is deceitful and beauty is vain, but a woman who fears the Lord, she shall be praised." That year we were being encouraged to bloom into Godly young ladies and grow towards Him.

This year's theme was "Nurturing to Full Bloom." Ephesians 5:1 "Therefore be imitators of God, as beloved children; and walk in love, just as Christ also loved you and gave Himself up for us, an offering and a sacrifice to God as a fragrant aroma."  As daughters we need to fully bloom and must be grounded in our faith. We talked about building relationships, how we have grown and what kind of women we want to be.

Remember that you are daughters of Christ and you must keep your focus on your Heavenly Father. We must submit our lives to Jesus, fear the Lord, humble ourselves and allow God to get the glory. Are you willing to follow Christ no matter what lays ahead?

I can't wait to see what we will learn in 2015! Lets continue to grow closer to both our Heavenly and earthly father!
