Great News From the Frontlines

“It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.” Teddy Roosevelt

Our world and our country are in turmoil. It's crazy out there and the Lord has us right where He wants us to be: in the midst of the storm.

We at Project Truth love the adventure the God of creation has mapped out for us and can't wait to begin the Spring College Tour visiting twelve campuses where there are students who are actually calling for the murder of a whole race of people. The darkness must be confronted.

Our Project Truth team is not surprised at all because for years students have told us "it is ok to kill preborn babies if the mother doesn't want it."

For now we spend every week challenging couples going into the child sacrifice centers to stop and turn away from Satan's lies. All of the people listen, but few take the lifeline we offer. As discouraging as it can get, we are always reminded that we are to proclaim the truth and let the Spirit work on people's souls.

Below, we hate to see the results of rejecting our offer to save them from deep regret. Walnut Creek Planned Parenthood called two ambulances in one day to pick up injured women.

In Stockton there are dedicated team members who try to rescue moms and their babies while we are away at college campuses. Below, Attorney Gregory Goehring, Tammy, Beth, and Carole wait outside the Planned Parenthood for divine appointments.

There is a great cloud of witnesses urging us to not give up.

Below, is one such reminder.

Meet the Eby family. Steve Eby and his awesome family are walking the walk of God's commands.

When the false accusations of "not caring for the unwanted children after they are born" is shouted, just show them this incredible photo of a family who goes out to rescue the fatherless.

I love the Eby family who inspires me to stay the course and am proud to have them on my Project Truth team.

Another encouraging fruit of our labor comes when I receive a photo, below, of a child we saved celebrating his birthday. This is the oldest son of three whose dad told me all three of his boys are alive because of our sidewalk counseling team. Pray for his daddy as he recently prayed to be forgiven and cleansed by the blood of Jesus Christ. I am trying to disciple him and see him live as a mighty man of God.

Below, Tim and his Survivors team from Southern California wanted to join us for our two-day visit to Diablo College. This college always lives up to its name.

Project Truth and Survivors engaged the students and had great conversations.

The school administration and a few rowdy students tried to have us removed, but the police would not have it. We were told the college had just allowed the week before a radical homosexual group to harass students walking by on their way to classes. Our timing was great as the students told the school staff that we were much nicer than the troublemakers they allowed a week earlier.

Below, I thought the posters on the campus walls were our kind of messages... but maybe not.

These students in the photo below, were really bothered by our Abortion Regrets poster. Those guy students had mixed feelings and were bothered by their women classmates not being able to overcome the logic and reason we were presenting. The blond girl stayed for a long time, going from mocking to really listening, and going away with truth pebbles in her sandals.

Below, after Linda finished witnessing to this student, she asked Linda if she could give her a hug and thanked her for braving the challenges of their campus to share the truth with her. All worth it!

I'm not sure if Tim noticed the sunbeam, above, while talking to these guys but I did. I know it's just a sunbeam, yet I'm reminded that we are to be the "light in the darkness." Pastor Dave, in the background, thought the beam was for his conversation. This will be one of my favorite pictures from now on.

Tanya, below, very calmly teaches these students the reality of abortion, with a very calm demeaner infusing truth to lost students. Her degree in chemistry from Sac State is impressive for some students. It has served her well in college outreach.

Annie, above, and Lee effectively "listen to" and respond with logic and reason to misguided guys living in an echo chamber. The students regularly tell us they have never heard the things we are saying to them. There is a growing number who say they have never heard the Gospel before. Many don't own a Bible. We carry Bibles just for those moments.

These two girls wanted us off their campus. However, the one on the left agreed to speak with me and after a lengthy dialogue, she admitted she had not heard many of the things I was sharing with her. As we parted, she said she would do more research and consider what I told her, even though she doesn't believe in God. Some good truth pebbles in her shoes.

Matt is another team member with a calm spirit that he uses well in conversations.

In 2021, Argentina's legislators created a law legalizing abortion to birth. Fast forward two years and an election is going on to stop the corrupt government from completely destroying their country.

The man who just became president of Argentina is Javier Milei. He is unapologetically prolife and ran for president with these words about abortion:

"When you construct on the basis of an incorrect moral principle, the result is filth. How can being able to kill other human beings be a right gained?

As a liberal, I believe in the unrestricted right to life based on the defense of life, liberty and property. I defend life... biology says life begins at conception. That makes abortion a murder, enabled and aggravated against a child that has no way to defend themselves.”

These are the words of a man who just became the president of a struggling country, whose citizens legalized child sacrifice. He made it clear during his campaign that if he became president, he would try to get the abortion law overturned! And the people voted him into office.

American politicians, are you listening?

Please take the time to watch these two video clips, one 7 minutes by Dr. George Grant on the issue of where we go from here with the abortion battle. The other video is 26 minutes and covers the hypocrisy of so-called prolife advocates. Both of these videos are worth watching.

Oh Lord! Help me to accept the fact that I am born for battle and am responsible to seek the doing of the will of my Father on earth by resisting the enemy's attempts to reverse that will.

To this end I pray that the will to disentangle myself from the smothering absorption of civilian living may be strengthened in me, so that I may be a good soldier of Jesus Christ. And "Oh, may no coward spirit seek to leaven the Warrior Code, the calling that is ours." Born For Battle
