Guys, know, my voice is is terrible.1900:01:37.689 --> 00:01:42.609I'm dealing with some allergy stuff.Yeah, and I'd hope coming out2000:01:42.650 --> 00:01:46.049to California would change that, butapparently not. Seems like it. Yeah,2100:01:46.129 --> 00:01:49.599a little worse. Yeah, myGod's graceful make it through this and2200:01:51.000 --> 00:01:53.239we really feel like these podcasts areimportant. We get a lot of feedback2300:01:53.280 --> 00:01:59.200from people, from our missionaries.They're encouraged. We touch on subjects that2400:01:59.519 --> 00:02:04.909seem to be so timely. Likewe are podcast about what to do when2500:02:04.909 --> 00:02:07.949an ambulance shows up and I getan email like the next day from one2600:02:07.990 --> 00:02:14.389of our one of the local volunteershere in Riverside. Right, like an2700:02:14.469 --> 00:02:19.939ambulance just showed up yesterday and youknow, what you've shared was really helpful.2800:02:19.939 --> 00:02:23.180Also, I got an email fromsomebody, I think in Florida,2900:02:23.219 --> 00:02:28.259who had the same thing around thesame time. And Yeah, just actually3000:02:28.300 --> 00:02:31.889had an interaction with a counselor ora missionary is dealing with a woman that's3100:02:31.930 --> 00:02:36.849going through miscarriage and we just putout that last yeah, exactly. That3200:02:36.930 --> 00:02:39.610happened to me also this past week. Someone that one of the missionaries said3300:02:39.650 --> 00:02:44.210she was going through that and Iwas able to point them to that podcast.3400:02:44.400 --> 00:02:50.159So it is amazing how God kindof nudges us to to do a3500:02:50.280 --> 00:02:54.599subject and and sometimes you all notjust and that's how we decide what to3600:02:55.560 --> 00:03:01.150what to do a podcast about.That's the way it's actually okay, struggling3700:03:01.229 --> 00:03:05.270through with my voice and you getstruggling through to listen to my voice,3800:03:05.310 --> 00:03:08.189as terrible as it sounds. It'sworth it's worth it to us. Yeah,3900:03:08.270 --> 00:03:15.340and even though through many dangerous toilsand snares we record the PODCAST,4000:03:15.340 --> 00:03:20.060it's worth it. So right,yeah, you guys that are listening,4100:03:20.139 --> 00:03:24.340you're worth it. In the Gospelgoing forth is worth it and babies being4200:03:24.460 --> 00:03:29.610saved, mom's lobs be an impact, impacted. It's worth it, guys.4300:03:29.770 --> 00:03:34.449So would encourage you and we hopethis blessing, or this episode will4400:03:34.490 --> 00:03:37.490be a blessing to you guys.Right, right. And this episode,4500:03:37.569 --> 00:03:44.599like so many of them, cameabout because someone mentioned it mentioned a situation4600:03:44.919 --> 00:03:51.400where a service provider had come upto the abortion center and they were curious4700:03:51.439 --> 00:03:54.870about all. What do you do? What do you say? And we're4800:03:54.909 --> 00:04:00.909always so careful to train our volunteersthat keep your focus your ministry is the4900:04:00.990 --> 00:04:06.069unborn child and that that Mama,because she has a life or death decision5000:04:06.189 --> 00:04:11.020to make and one way or another, by the end of the day,5100:04:11.099 --> 00:04:14.659that child see the going to bealive or dead based on that mother's decision.5200:04:15.620 --> 00:04:21.500So that's our ministry focus, butthat doesn't mean that we ignore that5300:04:21.699 --> 00:04:28.850are in the vicinity or even somethingthat you would think maybe we would be5400:04:29.490 --> 00:04:32.209not as useful to interact with,such as the service providers, and by5500:04:32.250 --> 00:04:39.160that I don't mean the abortion workers, but you know, the door people5600:04:39.600 --> 00:04:47.639or the the person devel delivering Fedex, or are quite often the uber drivers,5700:04:47.920 --> 00:04:55.149which we see frequently, Uber andtax taxi drivers. So we see5800:04:55.189 --> 00:05:00.310them all the time. And theway that that we wanted to talk about5900:05:00.310 --> 00:05:06.459this podcast is telling some stories.Stories are so powerful and we've developed just6000:05:06.620 --> 00:05:12.420a smattering of these are true storiesof things that have happened mostly within the6100:05:12.459 --> 00:05:15.420past year, some of them veryrecently. One of them happened just just6200:05:15.980 --> 00:05:23.290last week or the week before,of whereas service provider and our interactions with6300:05:23.449 --> 00:05:28.250them led to a baby being saved, and that is not infrequent, and6400:05:29.050 --> 00:05:32.449that that's kind of the Lord doesin these situations. Yeah, yeah,6500:05:32.649 --> 00:05:36.879so the the you know, thevery first point is, of course they6600:05:36.959 --> 00:05:41.279focused on on your mission field.If you see a mom going in,6700:05:41.480 --> 00:05:46.759she's she is your focus. Now, if it's in Uber or a taxi6800:05:46.800 --> 00:05:51.230driver coming in, they're often transportinga mom. So your interaction with them6900:05:51.750 --> 00:05:56.790is going to be heard by themother and that is still keeping your ministry7000:05:56.870 --> 00:06:00.790focus. But be careful about beingso sidetracked like think. You know,7100:06:00.829 --> 00:06:03.620I got to talk to every serviceperson that comes in that maybe you're missing7200:06:03.740 --> 00:06:09.259MOMS. That would not be appropriate. Yeah, but the one that happened7300:06:09.339 --> 00:06:14.540recently, I was not a partof this story. I was actually in7400:06:14.579 --> 00:06:17.930the office when the councilor came inand told me about this story. But7500:06:18.209 --> 00:06:26.329a taxi driver with a Hispanic couplein the back seat was driving slowly down7600:06:26.329 --> 00:06:30.769the street. The driver stopped asa taxi driver and he stopped. I7700:06:30.810 --> 00:06:36.000think was a he, and theconclor that that he stopped for was actually7800:06:36.040 --> 00:06:41.120one of our brand new councilors andshe is really only on the sidewalk a7900:06:41.160 --> 00:06:45.079few weeks and I'm sure she didn'tfeel like she knew what to say.8000:06:45.120 --> 00:06:48.310I remember what it was like whenI was brand new like that. But8100:06:48.509 --> 00:06:54.069the first thing she said, andI think you'll notice this trend in all8200:06:54.110 --> 00:06:59.110of the stories, is did youknow that this is an abortion center?8300:06:59.189 --> 00:07:03.500Yeah, yeah, that's something wehad to keep in mind because these uber8400:07:03.540 --> 00:07:09.420drivers quite often, like probably ninetynine point nine percent of the time,8500:07:09.779 --> 00:07:14.740have no clue. They're just theygotta message on their phone. I don't8600:07:14.740 --> 00:07:16.529know exactly how Uber Works, exceptfor it's an APP and all of that,8700:07:16.610 --> 00:07:20.370and they get anifications and I wantto be picked up and then they8800:07:20.410 --> 00:07:23.889want to be picked up here andthey want to be taken there. It8900:07:23.970 --> 00:07:26.610doesn't tell them they want to betaken to the abortion clinic, you know9000:07:26.649 --> 00:07:30.079right, and and it doesn't sayprobably not going to share that information either,9100:07:30.240 --> 00:07:31.959you know, when she gets intothe Uber. That's right, that's9200:07:31.959 --> 00:07:35.480right. If I they sometimes dotell me they know they're at a clinic,9300:07:35.639 --> 00:07:39.600that they're coming to a preferred woman'shealth center, but that hardly says9400:07:39.639 --> 00:07:44.470abortion anywhere on it. And butthey are, I would say, most9500:07:44.509 --> 00:07:47.790of the time, shocked. Mostof the time they are shocked. No,9600:07:48.509 --> 00:07:53.110I didn't know that. So thatwas the first thing that this just9700:07:53.269 --> 00:07:58.860very intuitive counselor she did the exactright thing, asked the exact correct first9800:07:58.899 --> 00:08:03.019question. Did you know this isan abortion center? Yeah, and the9900:08:03.139 --> 00:08:09.459driver said he did not, andhe instantly glanced in his rearview mirror at10000:08:09.500 --> 00:08:13.050the Hispanic couple. Now they didnot speak any English, from what I10100:08:13.209 --> 00:08:16.529understand, and he was the uberdriver because he was also Hispanic. He10200:08:18.009 --> 00:08:22.449spoke Spanish, and so a lotof what transpired we don't know what he10300:08:22.529 --> 00:08:28.879said because he's speaking in Spanish tothe couple, but he's clearly distraught as10400:08:28.920 --> 00:08:33.200as he looks in the rearview mirrorand and the the couple in the back10500:08:33.200 --> 00:08:37.279kind of squirm and he asks themin Spanish if they knew that they were10600:08:37.360 --> 00:08:45.789going to an abortion center. Andmy guess is what transpired was that yes,10700:08:45.950 --> 00:08:52.110obviously they knew, and there wasan argument that that ensues between the10800:08:52.590 --> 00:08:56.940taxi driver and the couple in theback seat and are again, are very10900:08:58.059 --> 00:09:03.820smart. Counselor handed them the literatureand also, I believe, got Spanish11000:09:03.899 --> 00:09:09.700literature into their hands to the taxidriver, who instantly gave it to the11100:09:09.820 --> 00:09:15.649couple and and she explains to thetaxi driver, who is bilingual, he11200:09:15.730 --> 00:09:20.090was able to speak English. Sheexplained, well, this is an abortion11300:09:20.330 --> 00:09:24.559center. And do you believe inGod? The number to question that,11400:09:24.720 --> 00:09:28.120I think, would become on thetails of that first question. Yeah,11500:09:28.320 --> 00:09:33.240absolutely. Yeah, and it turnsout he did. And as soon as11600:09:33.279 --> 00:09:41.470someone says yes, you the doorswide open for you to say, well,11700:09:41.549 --> 00:09:48.470you're you know, you're fair.Is being paid in part by by11800:09:48.590 --> 00:09:52.659someone or it's being paid by someonewho is here to kill their baby.11900:09:54.620 --> 00:10:00.019And and you know, when youtake business that brings you into a place12000:10:00.059 --> 00:10:05.820where babies are being murdered, thenyou're complicit. And I don't know if12100:10:05.820 --> 00:10:09.610she said exactly those words again,I wasn't there, but something along those12200:10:09.649 --> 00:10:16.210lines, saying you don't want tobe pulling into this place with that.12300:10:16.450 --> 00:10:20.730You know, I think we wehave to be careful not to come across12400:10:20.769 --> 00:10:22.799as like, you know, we'recondemning them, we're kind of lumping them12500:10:22.919 --> 00:10:26.559in with the mom that's they're tokill her baby or with the abortion clinic.12600:10:26.639 --> 00:10:30.320And Right, they're not working forthe abortion clinic. Yeah, so12700:10:30.399 --> 00:10:33.799I think there's a there's a balancethere. Again, these people don't know12800:10:33.399 --> 00:10:37.110that they're coming. They're bringing someoneto an abortion clinic. Yeah, but12900:10:37.230 --> 00:10:41.590the fact is they are bringing someoneto an abortion clinic, right. I13000:10:41.710 --> 00:10:43.549mean, you can think of afew analogies. You know, if you're13100:10:45.750 --> 00:10:48.870in Nazi Germany and somebody's telling youto drive a truck and you don't realize13200:10:48.909 --> 00:10:52.580you got Jews in the back ofit and you're taking them to, you13300:10:52.700 --> 00:10:56.179know, Nazi death camp, youdon't know, you don't know what you13400:10:56.259 --> 00:11:00.019don't know and you're not guilty untilyou find out. Right, and you13500:11:00.539 --> 00:11:03.179now you realize halfway down the roadthere's some Jews in the back and,13600:11:03.809 --> 00:11:07.250yeah, you've got a choice tomake. You're going to keep driving the13700:11:07.330 --> 00:11:09.450truck to the destination or are yougoing to stop and say I'm not going13800:11:09.450 --> 00:11:13.610to be a part of this?That's right. You know, I think13900:11:13.649 --> 00:11:18.210that's that's a good analogy maybe forthis scenario. But again we have to14000:11:18.250 --> 00:11:20.919be careful. Like again, thesepeople don't know, so we're not going14100:11:20.960 --> 00:11:26.440to condemn them for something they justdon't know, but we are going to14200:11:26.480 --> 00:11:28.919inform them so that they do know. And then again they've got a choice14300:11:28.960 --> 00:11:35.070to making that moment. Yeah,and the council went on to share how14400:11:35.269 --> 00:11:39.590we were going to be able tohelp the couple in the backseat and she14500:11:39.710 --> 00:11:43.669asked them to the taxi driver totranslate, which he did. So she14600:11:43.870 --> 00:11:48.220listed the the resources, she talkedabout God, she talked about the development14700:11:48.259 --> 00:11:56.779of the baby, and the driversaid, I'm not going to I'm not14800:11:56.779 --> 00:11:58.700going to drive them in there.He refused. He said I will not,14900:12:00.139 --> 00:12:01.690I won't do it. Now,not all of them do that.15000:12:01.970 --> 00:12:05.009Most of them don't do that,to tell you the truth, but this15100:12:05.289 --> 00:12:11.129man took stand. He was notand the the couple in the back kind15200:12:11.129 --> 00:12:15.610of threw up their hands and saidfine, take us back to the hotel15300:12:16.120 --> 00:12:20.240and we'll call you all to findout how you can help us. So15400:12:20.320 --> 00:12:24.200it's grudging, apparently a little bitangry, but but they did. They15500:12:24.399 --> 00:12:28.840the driver took them back to thehotel. He left. I don't know15600:12:28.879 --> 00:12:35.309if they ever called our Spanish translatoror not, but for sure that day15700:12:35.870 --> 00:12:41.509that baby's life was reprieved because ofthe courageous stand of the taxi driver.15800:12:41.990 --> 00:12:43.779And he wouldn't make that stand alone. He wouldn't have made it if he15900:12:43.940 --> 00:12:48.299had read their picture, though,just so people understand, I like this16000:12:48.539 --> 00:12:52.820is happening within like fifty feet ofthe abortion clinic. Right these people could16100:12:52.820 --> 00:12:56.740have gotten out of the car andwalked into the abortion clinic. They could16200:12:56.779 --> 00:12:58.090have you know, they were captivein the car. It's not like,16300:12:58.690 --> 00:13:03.529you know, they were miles awayfrom the abortion clinic. They could have16400:13:03.409 --> 00:13:07.850just gotten out. And I've seenthat happen before. I've seen taxi drivers16500:13:07.929 --> 00:13:09.769come. They refused to pull intothe abortion clinic because, you know,16600:13:09.809 --> 00:13:13.919they've stopped and when they found outthey were not going to be complicit in16700:13:15.080 --> 00:13:16.960this, in this whole thing,they can't do anything. They can't lock16800:13:18.000 --> 00:13:20.879the doors and drive the people backto their you know where they picked them16900:13:20.879 --> 00:13:24.240up at. So you know,I've seen people get out of the Uber17000:13:24.440 --> 00:13:26.549or get out of the taxi andjust walk into the abortion clinic. You17100:13:26.629 --> 00:13:30.029know, at that point, Ithink you know the Uber driver, the17200:13:30.110 --> 00:13:35.710taxi driver, has done all thatthey can do in this situation. It17300:13:35.750 --> 00:13:39.710seems to me, as we say, these people are they're praying for a17400:13:39.909 --> 00:13:43.100sign. It seems to me thesepeople took their the interaction with the taxi17500:13:43.179 --> 00:13:46.340driver, or it was an uberdriver. Was An uber driver, this17600:13:46.419 --> 00:13:50.659one was a taxi driver. I'mpretty sure they sort of took that interaction17700:13:50.700 --> 00:13:56.049as a sign from the Lord that'sright because again, if they really wanted17800:13:56.090 --> 00:13:58.009to have the abortion, they couldhave gotten out of the taxi and went17900:13:58.049 --> 00:14:01.370into the abortion clinic. They couldhave, and I think it illustrates another18000:14:01.450 --> 00:14:07.330really important point that when we takea stand for righteousness, people notice and18100:14:07.850 --> 00:14:13.600it can sometimes breathe courage into heartsthat are wafering. Yeah, and I18200:14:13.720 --> 00:14:16.759think that is part of what happenedthis this taxi driver was adamant. He18300:14:16.960 --> 00:14:20.480wasn't going to drive in there.What they were about to do was wrong18400:14:20.440 --> 00:14:26.549and and he was not going toback down from from what he knew was18500:14:26.950 --> 00:14:33.350was right. So I think that'san encouragement for all of us that we18600:14:33.590 --> 00:14:37.740need to stand firm on what weknow is true and right and what what18700:14:37.980 --> 00:14:43.700God would have us do. Yeshere, speaking of encouragement. Yeah,18800:14:43.740 --> 00:14:46.860the guy was a hero, absoluteyeah, speaking of the word encouragement,18900:14:46.899 --> 00:14:50.500you guys have heard me in thepast talk about this. You know,19000:14:50.700 --> 00:14:54.769to encourage someone is to put courageinto them, and that's what we're doing19100:14:54.850 --> 00:14:58.529in these situations. Like we're speakingto these the service people, these uber19200:14:58.529 --> 00:15:01.769drivers especially, like Uber Drivers,taxi drivers, and we're speaking courage into19300:15:01.809 --> 00:15:05.970them and saying you can do this, you can take a stand for life,19400:15:05.330 --> 00:15:09.159you can speak to them, youcan hand them this literature, because19500:15:09.279 --> 00:15:11.559you know, often times when theydo stop, it's not that they're rolling19600:15:11.600 --> 00:15:13.960down the back window for us totalk to the person they have in the19700:15:15.000 --> 00:15:18.039back right, they're rolling down theirwindow. So we've really, you know,19800:15:18.159 --> 00:15:22.470we've really got to speak to themand interact with them and encourage them,19900:15:22.629 --> 00:15:26.029put courage into them that you canspeak to the people that you have20000:15:26.149 --> 00:15:28.990in the back of your car,you can give them this literature. So20100:15:28.190 --> 00:15:31.950please, please do that. Andso when we're trying to put courage into20200:15:31.990 --> 00:15:37.620them. Yeah, exactly. Sothe the second situation was similar. Was20300:15:37.659 --> 00:15:41.899a Newberg driver this time, but, and I think it's a really important20400:15:43.019 --> 00:15:46.740little story to tell, because hehad already dropped the person off. Now20500:15:48.340 --> 00:15:50.730when he stopped for me, Ithink again, I don't it might have20600:15:50.769 --> 00:15:54.769been a woman. I think itwas a man, but he dropped off20700:15:54.769 --> 00:15:58.090a worker and the worker went inand I called out to the worker.20800:15:58.250 --> 00:16:04.399The worker went in and the tendency, my tendency even, is get back20900:16:04.519 --> 00:16:08.960to my mission and ignore the personcoming out. He's already dropped the worker.21000:16:10.159 --> 00:16:11.440What good is it going to doto. He's just an uber driver.21100:16:11.840 --> 00:16:15.159Yeah, you know, he maynever come here again, but I21200:16:15.200 --> 00:16:18.149didn't that that time. I didn't. Sometimes I have. That time I21300:16:18.230 --> 00:16:22.870didn't. He he pulled over,stopped for me and I started off with21400:16:22.990 --> 00:16:26.110the same thing. Did you knowthis is an abortion center? And I21500:16:26.269 --> 00:16:30.389think he might have known. Ithink he had dropped this worker of at21600:16:30.429 --> 00:16:36.379other times, and I talked aboutwhat happens in an abortion center and then21700:16:36.460 --> 00:16:41.940I handed him the information and Isaid, listen, you may know someone21800:16:42.620 --> 00:16:47.019that is considering an abortion, ormaybe you don't even know right now,21900:16:47.210 --> 00:16:52.889but maybe if you hang onto this, I guarantee you someone's going to happen22000:16:52.929 --> 00:16:56.210along in your life that is inan unplanned pregnancy considering an abortion, and22100:16:56.250 --> 00:17:00.960I want you to know we helpthem. We help them with resources and22200:17:03.240 --> 00:17:07.960no matter what situation they face,and with a mentorship program we even do22300:17:07.119 --> 00:17:11.759baby showers that provide two full yearsof what that child will need. I22400:17:11.920 --> 00:17:18.950just would encourage you to take thisinformation and if you know someone that's struggling,22500:17:18.390 --> 00:17:21.789would you tell her will help them? That's my name and and my22600:17:21.829 --> 00:17:26.029number on the back. So hetook the information and said thank you and22700:17:26.630 --> 00:17:33.059left. And that afternoon I washome from the abortion center and I got22800:17:33.180 --> 00:17:38.539a call from a woman who saidit is this Vickie. Yes, well,22900:17:40.059 --> 00:17:45.410and Uber driver is a friend ofmine and he just gave me a23000:17:45.609 --> 00:17:52.049pamphlet that he got from you todayand he said that you all help women23100:17:52.529 --> 00:17:59.839who are struggling and unplanned pregnancies andthinking about abortion. And that's my story.23200:17:59.880 --> 00:18:03.359D can You tell me what youcould do, how you could help?23300:18:04.440 --> 00:18:08.839And so I did and one thingled to another. I shared the23400:18:10.000 --> 00:18:14.589Gospel. She had fallen away fromGod, but she and she knew it.23500:18:14.869 --> 00:18:18.109And and like so many women,when she made the decision to abort,23600:18:19.230 --> 00:18:22.869it felt like God had abandoned herwhen in reality, of course she23700:18:23.109 --> 00:18:29.859had abandoned God. But she becommitted her life to the Lord. She23800:18:30.019 --> 00:18:34.099said she was not going to abort. She wanted the mentor and and so,23900:18:34.299 --> 00:18:40.980you know, praise God for thatamazing result of the obedience of that24000:18:41.490 --> 00:18:45.930Uber driver. But the story didn'tend there. She got involved with the24100:18:45.009 --> 00:18:52.089mentor. She found out just howmuch help the mentorship program is and her24200:18:52.329 --> 00:19:00.160cousin it was also in an unplannedpregnancy. She told her cousin about us,24300:19:00.480 --> 00:19:04.519gave the cousin the pamphlet. Thecousin contacted me and it was the24400:19:04.599 --> 00:19:11.190same ending. She she also committedher life to the Lord. She wanted24500:19:11.230 --> 00:19:15.670to mentor. She got a mentor, and so two babies and to eternal24600:19:15.869 --> 00:19:25.940lives were saved by handing and Uberdriver leaving after dropping someone at the abortion24700:19:26.099 --> 00:19:30.099center, but by handing him apamphlet and telling them about the help that24800:19:30.180 --> 00:19:33.940was available. Well, it's amazing. Yeah, you know, again a24900:19:34.619 --> 00:19:40.529story that I wouldn't have known,which is why we do these podcast I25000:19:40.609 --> 00:19:45.769would think, why bother? Whybother giving giving our information to someone who's25100:19:45.769 --> 00:19:51.569already dropped the woman. It wasn'teven a mom to there to abort it.25200:19:51.690 --> 00:19:56.119It was a marker. Here's whatI'll say. Win and doubt.25300:19:56.559 --> 00:20:00.119Hand it out. Yeah, andout. Hand out a piece of literature.25400:20:00.359 --> 00:20:03.000Now we don't have just be flingingliterature all over the place. You25500:20:03.039 --> 00:20:06.400know, everybody that walks Bo getsliterature if you're on like a busy road25600:20:06.440 --> 00:20:08.750or something like that. But whenin doubt, hand it out. If25700:20:08.750 --> 00:20:12.069there's an uber driver that stops totake it, get literature into their hands.25800:20:12.109 --> 00:20:17.029Maybe they did drop somebody off andthey didn't know it. Maybe we25900:20:17.150 --> 00:20:21.190didn't, they weren't able to stopor for whatever reason they went in still26000:20:21.230 --> 00:20:22.940didn't realize it was an abortion clinic. They come out. I've had that26100:20:22.980 --> 00:20:26.619situation happened before. I'll still givethem a piece of literature. I'll try26200:20:26.660 --> 00:20:30.819to encourage them. Can you textthat woman and get her to come out26300:20:30.819 --> 00:20:32.859and talk to us? You know, I'll try to encourage me do that.26400:20:33.539 --> 00:20:36.569Yeah, nothing else. I'll say, hang on to this literature,26500:20:36.569 --> 00:20:40.049keep it in your car in casethis happens again. You'll know where you're26600:20:40.089 --> 00:20:42.809coming next time, right, andyou can hand them this literature. So,26700:20:44.369 --> 00:20:48.170yeah, that literature is powerful.It seems that that we plant that26800:20:48.650 --> 00:20:55.400keep on bringing an increase in yeah, exactly. Sometimes it's the same uber26900:20:55.400 --> 00:20:57.119driver that will end up picking themup. Sometimes they've said come back in27000:20:57.200 --> 00:21:00.640an hour or something. Yeah,that so, and you never know,27100:21:02.160 --> 00:21:07.670and then you've got a double chanceto hopefully reach reach that woman. So27200:21:07.670 --> 00:21:12.670the next story is a little bitdifferent, again, one that I think27300:21:12.710 --> 00:21:19.460the Holy Spirit prompted us to act, but that I probably wouldn't, under27400:21:19.579 --> 00:21:25.740normal circumstances, have said anything tothese workers. As a paving company,27500:21:26.259 --> 00:21:30.539it was a paving company truck pullsin. There are a lot of potholes27600:21:30.859 --> 00:21:36.410in in the abortion center parking lot, but that didn't really register to me27700:21:36.529 --> 00:21:38.490at first. I thought it wasa dad. We do see businesses pull27800:21:38.609 --> 00:21:45.089in in their business trucks pull inwith as the dad sometimes meeting the mom,27900:21:45.009 --> 00:21:51.000but in this case so his thethe name of the paving company is28000:21:51.079 --> 00:21:56.119on the side and and as he'spulling in, I said our did you28100:21:56.200 --> 00:22:02.750know this is an abortion center thatyou're pulling into? And he said no,28200:22:03.109 --> 00:22:07.309and he looked visibly shaken. Hedid not and I went into,28300:22:07.430 --> 00:22:11.230you know, a very similar thingas what I've already told you that I28400:22:11.390 --> 00:22:15.140say, where I described what happensthere, and then I said are are28500:22:15.180 --> 00:22:19.539you a believer? And he saidyes, and I said well, what28600:22:19.700 --> 00:22:25.299would what would God have you do? Meanwhile the security people are going nuts.28700:22:26.460 --> 00:22:30.369You know, I've stopped up paved, you know, a rot paved28800:22:30.490 --> 00:22:34.809paver trunk driver, and they're screamingat me just that he's here to do28900:22:34.890 --> 00:22:37.849a job, idiot, just leavethem alone. Let him drive in.29000:22:38.410 --> 00:22:42.170And I never listened to them.I there were no other cars it.29100:22:42.690 --> 00:22:48.160You know, they they're not thecops and I wasn't doing anything. I29200:22:48.359 --> 00:22:52.720wasn't blocking anyone. The paver wasn'tblocking any car from coming in or out.29300:22:52.720 --> 00:22:56.480They're just mad that I'm stopping thisperson who, they said, he's29400:22:56.599 --> 00:22:59.630he's got a contract, he's he'sabout to do business with this spe just29500:22:59.789 --> 00:23:03.589let the guy do his job.They're swearing at me, screaming at me,29600:23:03.710 --> 00:23:08.349and I hand him our information andand and said really, think about29700:23:08.549 --> 00:23:12.700what God would have you do.And they drive in and so I think29800:23:12.779 --> 00:23:15.420okay, and I go. Igo back. I'm ready to start calling29900:23:15.500 --> 00:23:21.059out, you know, to theMOMS. And they did aktern in the30000:23:21.140 --> 00:23:26.210parking lot and pulled right out andas they're driving out, he held up30100:23:26.250 --> 00:23:32.450the literature and pointed to the sky, you know, to God, and30200:23:32.609 --> 00:23:37.650left. They didn't come back.The the paving company left. So we're30300:23:37.690 --> 00:23:45.200all just cheering. Security is swearing. But that's not the end of that30400:23:45.480 --> 00:23:49.559story either. That Saturday and Daniel, I think you were the one that30500:23:49.880 --> 00:23:55.119had this interaction, or one ofthe Saturday people. I heard about it30600:23:55.240 --> 00:23:56.869again. I was I was there, but I wasn't right at the driveway30700:23:56.869 --> 00:24:02.349where another paving truck pulled them.So that Saturday, right. Was it30800:24:02.470 --> 00:24:04.150you? You know, the onethat was there? Yeah, yeah,30900:24:04.670 --> 00:24:08.589so same thing. They pull in. It sounds like it was the exact31000:24:08.630 --> 00:24:11.859same scenary. Hey, Hey,man, did you know this is an31100:24:11.900 --> 00:24:15.740abortion center? And I don't knowif they did or not, but in31200:24:15.819 --> 00:24:22.859a glue and they had no clueand they they pull in and then did31300:24:22.940 --> 00:24:26.930a you turn and left. Yeah, and as they were leaving they said31400:24:26.970 --> 00:24:32.690God, bless you guys for whatyou're doing. took all so, I31500:24:32.809 --> 00:24:41.599mean that story is so great tome because to paving truck companies that chose31600:24:41.680 --> 00:24:48.880to glorify God rather than be paidtheir salary by the blood of babies,31700:24:48.079 --> 00:24:55.069that was just such an encouragement.Yeah, to me. Shortly thereafter was31800:24:55.269 --> 00:24:59.829the first four day wee can thatI think I've ever known the abortion center31900:24:59.869 --> 00:25:03.990to have, and it maybe itwas on the fourth of July weekend.32000:25:04.269 --> 00:25:08.779So normally they take the fourth off, but if it falls on, you32100:25:08.859 --> 00:25:12.579know, a Friday or Saturday,but that's it. Maybe a second day.32200:25:12.660 --> 00:25:17.019But it was the a full fourday week and which I had never32300:25:17.099 --> 00:25:22.210seen. And the parking lot waspaved and in that period of time,32400:25:22.890 --> 00:25:27.930so a pavery, a paving companyshowed up about, apparently the abortion center32500:25:29.329 --> 00:25:33.650Wi stoup that hey, when there'sa Christian witness out there, even the32600:25:33.769 --> 00:25:38.920workers are affected by by the choiceto follow God, and we're going to32700:25:40.000 --> 00:25:44.359have to do this under cover ofnight and cover up some when they're not32800:25:44.480 --> 00:25:48.200there. I want to reiterate thepoint I made earlier, is that,32900:25:48.599 --> 00:25:53.150you know, these people quite likelydon't know that it's an abortion clinic and33000:25:53.269 --> 00:25:56.829we got to be careful the waythat we come across. We don't want33100:25:56.829 --> 00:26:00.069to come across as like we're justwe're condemning them, we're lumping them in33200:26:00.230 --> 00:26:04.940with the abortionist or the abortion clinic. In the sense we want to inform33300:26:06.099 --> 00:26:10.980them. You know, we wantto expose Effesians five eleven right. Have33400:26:11.140 --> 00:26:14.180no fellowship with him, proof forworks of darkness, but rather expose them.33500:26:14.940 --> 00:26:18.609And really we're exposing these people,the service people, whoever they might33600:26:18.650 --> 00:26:22.930be, to the reality that's goingon inside of that building and before God,33700:26:22.970 --> 00:26:25.970they have to make a choice.Now I'll share a story real quick,33800:26:26.009 --> 00:26:30.730if my voice will allow, andthis is man I don't know,33900:26:30.210 --> 00:26:34.920probably ten years or more ago Iwas out there on a Saturday. This34000:26:36.039 --> 00:26:41.759is when I was volunteering on thesidewalk at that time and I noticed that34100:26:41.839 --> 00:26:45.039people started flooding out of the building, out of the abortion clinic on the34200:26:45.119 --> 00:26:48.789troube and I'm like, okay,something's going on here, something pretty significant34300:26:48.829 --> 00:26:52.269in this is this is great,because people are getting in their cars and34400:26:52.309 --> 00:26:56.789they're leaving and and all of that. Come to find out, a squirrel34500:26:56.630 --> 00:27:04.059had somehow got on the transformer orsomething like that and kind of made the34600:27:04.140 --> 00:27:08.900two contacts connect and Squirrel got fried. But theyd you out. Yeah,34700:27:10.220 --> 00:27:15.250so out at the abortion clinic andso they couldn't do abortions. Last Saturday34800:27:15.250 --> 00:27:19.250at that time, sometimes there wouldbe fifty S S, sometimes seventy people34900:27:19.329 --> 00:27:22.289there for an abortion. It wasa slaughter house, let me tell yeah.35000:27:22.809 --> 00:27:29.089And there'd be people parking out onthe streets and because the parking lot35100:27:29.130 --> 00:27:33.480was so full there for an abortion. So I'm rejoicing. It was being35200:27:33.680 --> 00:27:37.440a small team goes out there.Were rejoicing that these babies are not going35300:27:37.440 --> 00:27:42.680to die. And then the thepower company truck pulls in, or pulling35400:27:42.759 --> 00:27:47.910in to restore power. The guysstopped and talked with me and I beg35500:27:48.190 --> 00:27:49.950this guy and he didn't know itwas an abortion clinic, but I beg35600:27:51.230 --> 00:27:55.869this man please, this is anabortion clinic. If you restore their power,35700:27:55.910 --> 00:28:00.019they're going to begin killing babies again. This guy now, and I35800:28:00.180 --> 00:28:03.339was as gracious as I could possiblybe. I'm not accusing him of anything35900:28:03.380 --> 00:28:07.380he didn't know, but I didbleed with him and this guy was not36000:28:07.579 --> 00:28:11.740happy. So just be prepared thatsome people are not going to be happy.36100:28:11.779 --> 00:28:12.410He's like, I'm just doing myjob, which I'm like, I36200:28:12.490 --> 00:28:15.849understand. Yeah, man, yeah, I would hate to be in that36300:28:15.970 --> 00:28:21.450situation and we really have to understandfrom their perspective, the situation that they're36400:28:21.490 --> 00:28:23.130in. They do have a jobto do, I can get that,36500:28:25.450 --> 00:28:27.079but at the end of the day, if that job is going to be36600:28:27.400 --> 00:28:32.799restoring the power to a place thatthat murders children, they've really got it36700:28:32.880 --> 00:28:37.759before God make a decision and Ibelieve, the right thing. I mean36800:28:37.759 --> 00:28:41.319I think anyone looking at this scenariothe right thing. This guy will saying,36900:28:41.359 --> 00:28:42.470well, somebody's got to restore thepower to this place. I'm like,37000:28:42.549 --> 00:28:45.589yeah, of course somebody has to, but it ain't got to be37100:28:45.710 --> 00:28:48.869you. Right, let somebody elsedo it. If you trust in the37200:28:48.990 --> 00:28:52.509Lord Trust in him. And again, I'm trying to put myself in that37300:28:52.549 --> 00:28:56.700scenario. I would hate to bein that situation. Okay, you lose37400:28:56.779 --> 00:29:00.980your job, you know, certainly, yeah, but again, babies are37500:29:02.019 --> 00:29:03.660dying, and so I think wehave to balance. We have to be37600:29:03.819 --> 00:29:07.220gracious about this, right, wehave to. We have to not just37700:29:07.579 --> 00:29:11.289kind of disconnect ourselves from the situation. You have to realize that we could37800:29:11.289 --> 00:29:15.329be in that same situation and youknow, maybe some of you guys that37900:29:15.369 --> 00:29:18.130are volunteer on the sidewalk, maybeyou're an uber driver, some people do38000:29:18.369 --> 00:29:22.809that on the side, you mightbe put in this situation. To imagine38100:29:22.930 --> 00:29:26.440this is going to be an easydecision when your life, in your livelihood,38200:29:26.480 --> 00:29:30.839depends on it is is likely nottrue for any of these people.38300:29:30.839 --> 00:29:34.519That's their only livelihood. So wehave to we have to meet them with38400:29:34.759 --> 00:29:40.509that, with that in mind,and we have to we have to address38500:29:40.589 --> 00:29:45.230them with humility. But again,at the end of the day, inside38600:29:45.269 --> 00:29:48.990of that building they are killing children, Bab yeah, in these service people38700:29:49.549 --> 00:29:55.460can can do something to affect thatin some way. So, yeah,38800:29:55.660 --> 00:29:57.140we're put that out there. Yeah, that's a good story. I've never38900:29:57.180 --> 00:30:00.500heard that one there was one thathappened recently, well, I guess about39000:30:00.500 --> 00:30:04.619a year ago in New York City, and again it was only related to39100:30:04.740 --> 00:30:07.849me. So I'm not sure ifI have this story totally correctly, but39200:30:07.930 --> 00:30:11.809it's similar to what you just said. It was an uber driver who had39300:30:11.890 --> 00:30:15.369become a new believer and he wasgoing to church with one of our missionaries39400:30:17.250 --> 00:30:22.119and he happened to be delivering food. Maybe I maybe he was a door39500:30:22.400 --> 00:30:26.039driver, but he was. Hewas a door driver, and so he39600:30:26.160 --> 00:30:32.119was delivering food net actually not atthe planned parenthood in New York City,39700:30:32.200 --> 00:30:37.269but nearby, and he saw allthose missionaries on the sidewalk and pulled over.39800:30:37.829 --> 00:30:41.349He said Hey, what's happening here, and they explained what was happening39900:30:41.509 --> 00:30:48.269here and he he delivered the foodand then he went to one of the40000:30:48.390 --> 00:30:52.539MOMS and he's a new believer.He was on fire for the Lord with40100:30:52.660 --> 00:30:56.460the zeal, all the zeal ofyou know remember when you were a new40200:30:56.539 --> 00:31:00.940believer, and he talked her outof them killing the baby and that baby40300:31:02.019 --> 00:31:06.170was saved because the door driver decidedhe was going to find out what was40400:31:06.210 --> 00:31:08.769going on. The missionaries were morethan happy to tell him what was going40500:31:08.849 --> 00:31:14.890on. The baby was saved andhe was so moved by what God had40600:31:14.970 --> 00:31:18.490done that he now volunteers with them. He started volunteering with them in a40700:31:18.599 --> 00:31:22.920apparently he's still with them. He'sstill volunteering and very effective. So again,40800:31:22.960 --> 00:31:26.599you never know, this might beyour future volunteer pool. But the40900:31:26.680 --> 00:31:30.559people that pull in. So oneof my favorite stories, I think it's41000:31:30.559 --> 00:31:37.950our last story, was an interpreter, and this was it poignant in the41100:31:37.029 --> 00:31:41.269same way as you were illustrating,Daniel, as you were saying be gracious.41200:31:41.309 --> 00:31:45.910For some of these people this isreally it is their livelihood and this,41300:31:45.150 --> 00:31:49.700this paycheck means could mean the differencebetween the feed and their family or41400:31:49.779 --> 00:31:55.059not, and and to try andbe cognizant of that. I tend to41500:31:55.140 --> 00:31:59.420forget that because my focus is moreon the baby, but I think it41600:31:59.579 --> 00:32:02.289is such an important thing to remember. But in this case, this interpreter41700:32:02.769 --> 00:32:08.650came, she was dropped by herhusband and her. They were both you41800:32:08.730 --> 00:32:13.970could tell as as the husband droppedher, he hugged her, he kissed41900:32:14.009 --> 00:32:19.519her, you could tell there wasanguish in in this couple and I thought42000:32:19.720 --> 00:32:22.480she was a mom coming to aboard and so started calling out in that42100:32:22.720 --> 00:32:25.680that way, and she said none, no, no, she she doesn't42200:32:25.720 --> 00:32:29.400believe an abortion. I said,well, what are you doing here then?42300:32:29.920 --> 00:32:35.509And and she said, well,I've been I work as an interpreter42400:32:36.269 --> 00:32:43.789and I've been called to interpret fora mom who doesn't speak English who's here42500:32:43.869 --> 00:32:47.259to kill her baby. And Ibegged her, don't, don't, don't.42600:32:47.420 --> 00:32:51.980If you don't interpret that baby,they the mom won't be able to42700:32:52.140 --> 00:32:55.859go through with it because she won'tbe able to understand and just drive away.42800:32:57.460 --> 00:33:00.690And she had a discussion with thehusband but said look, I I'm42900:33:00.930 --> 00:33:06.170sorry, I this is it.My husband can't work, he's disabled.43000:33:06.369 --> 00:33:12.170This is my job. I can'trisk losing this job or getting a bad43100:33:12.329 --> 00:33:16.559right up or whatever. And andso I said look at at least can43200:33:16.640 --> 00:33:22.720you try and sneak her the literature? Here's what we do. I explained43300:33:22.759 --> 00:33:27.710to her what we do and andtold her about because the information was not43400:33:27.910 --> 00:33:30.630in this woman's language. It wasan unusual language and I won't tell you43500:33:30.670 --> 00:33:35.990because I don't want to get thisinterpreter in trouble. But Um, she43600:33:36.109 --> 00:33:38.230did take it. She hit itunder her shirt, as we recommend it,43700:33:38.589 --> 00:33:44.819and and she went in and shewas in there a good couple of43800:33:44.940 --> 00:33:49.660hours. So we're of course sad. We thought she probably did her best.43900:33:50.180 --> 00:33:54.420And then we see her coming outand she came right over to us44000:33:55.009 --> 00:34:00.609and she said the mom is comingout and I said did she kill her44100:34:00.690 --> 00:34:06.450baby? and Said No. Duringthe whole time that the interpreter was interpreting,44200:34:07.089 --> 00:34:09.800she was not interpreting what the abortioncenter was telling her to interpret.44300:34:10.079 --> 00:34:14.880She knew none of them understood whatshe was saying and she was telling the44400:34:15.000 --> 00:34:19.519woman about us, about everything wecould do, about God, about that44500:34:19.719 --> 00:34:24.710baby, the humanity of that babyand that she should never kill her child.44600:34:25.630 --> 00:34:30.869And the she said the woman's comingout and I want to interpret for44700:34:30.949 --> 00:34:36.030you all for free on the mobileultrasound unit. So the woman did come44800:34:36.070 --> 00:34:40.300out. She came right over tous. The interpreter brought her on with44900:34:40.539 --> 00:34:45.139me and whoever else, the nurseand all onto the mobile ultrasound unit.45000:34:45.780 --> 00:34:52.579The woman chose life. was sograteful she had. She was, you45100:34:52.699 --> 00:34:54.730know, in the country, didn'tknow anyone. I mean I knew you,45200:34:57.170 --> 00:35:00.130I got it. I understood thefear that had overwhelmed this woman.45300:35:00.809 --> 00:35:06.969But with all the things that weoffered her that. I believe that might45400:35:07.010 --> 00:35:10.039have been before the days of thementorship program and love life, but Sheryl45500:35:10.119 --> 00:35:16.719Chandler of truth and mercy pro lifeministries definitely offered her a baby shower.45600:35:16.760 --> 00:35:22.150I called Sheryl from the RV andSheryl said she would love to do the45700:35:22.309 --> 00:35:28.789baby shower for this this young couple, and we did. It was,45800:35:29.309 --> 00:35:36.019I remember still that baby shower becausethey were so poor but they had this45900:35:36.579 --> 00:35:39.860lavish meal prepared. I knew theycouldn't have afforded it, but it was46000:35:40.019 --> 00:35:45.099like just an amazing meal, whichnever happens. I mean we usually take46100:35:45.179 --> 00:35:51.650them out to to the meal,but they were so grateful they had they46200:35:52.329 --> 00:35:58.929and that that little boy is now, I think, six and every few46300:35:59.010 --> 00:36:02.849months I get a picture in withwith this woman in her broken English,46400:36:04.010 --> 00:36:08.320thanking us for having been there alongwith it's a group email to me,46500:36:08.559 --> 00:36:15.159Ryl and the interpreter, and shehas remained friends with that interpreter, as46600:36:15.280 --> 00:36:19.789have we, and and you know, years and years later she is still46700:36:19.829 --> 00:36:24.630still thanking us and saying how thisyoung, young boy is just the the46800:36:24.750 --> 00:36:30.110light of her of her life.Yeah, so you know, use the46900:36:30.150 --> 00:36:35.860interpreters the yeah, the bottom line, center doesn't know. Yeah, with47000:36:36.099 --> 00:36:39.260with all of these people, whatevercapacity they're they're a God. Can Use47100:36:39.340 --> 00:36:45.619anything. God can use anything.We don't want to be distracted, like47200:36:45.780 --> 00:36:47.489you started out, we don't wantto let these people be our focus.47300:36:47.730 --> 00:36:51.769Right, the MOM's going in andour is our focus. But kind of47400:36:51.849 --> 00:36:57.090like that analogy that we laid outthat you know, we're like a lawyer47500:36:57.489 --> 00:37:00.519on behalf of that baby. Right, we're pleading that baby's case proverbs thirty47600:37:00.519 --> 00:37:05.320one, verses eight and nine.We're making a case for those who are47700:37:05.320 --> 00:37:09.519unjustly scheduled to die and we're appealingto the judge, which is the mother.47800:37:10.280 --> 00:37:15.320But we're also bringing witnesses, right, and sometimes as witnesses are the47900:37:15.360 --> 00:37:19.590DADS, some times they're the newfriend that brought her friend there for an48000:37:19.590 --> 00:37:24.550abortion. Sometimes they're the UBER driver, sometimes they're the door driver, sometimes48100:37:24.590 --> 00:37:30.539they're, you know, these otherservice people that are there unknowingly or whatever,48200:37:30.099 --> 00:37:34.460and sometimes they can be called itwith the analogy, kind of in48300:37:34.579 --> 00:37:37.420line with the analogy, as witnesses, this baby does not deserve death,48400:37:37.619 --> 00:37:42.820but deserves to live. And inthis situation with the interpreter, she was48500:37:42.940 --> 00:37:46.889certainly a witness in that baby's case. That, yeah, baby deserves to48600:37:47.010 --> 00:37:51.889live and praise God for just thefruit that was born out of that situation.48700:37:51.929 --> 00:37:53.969Really and that was a story thatwe were not able to share for48800:37:54.090 --> 00:37:58.329years because we didn't you know,it's so far removed now they'd never be48900:37:58.449 --> 00:38:01.440able to figure out who it wasif they even wanted to at this point.49000:38:01.480 --> 00:38:06.159But for years we were not ableto share that story, which is49100:38:06.320 --> 00:38:09.599true of so many of these miraculousstories. We don't share them on purpose.49200:38:09.800 --> 00:38:15.510We don't want to get especially theseservice workers in trouble when they have49300:38:15.710 --> 00:38:20.070worked so hard to to fight forthat child's life. So it's such a49400:38:20.269 --> 00:38:23.110delight to be able to tell thatstory a little bit because it is one49500:38:23.150 --> 00:38:27.860of the most miraculous things that Ihave seen happen out there. This is49600:38:27.980 --> 00:38:30.380a woman who knew she had togo in, but she was still not49700:38:30.460 --> 00:38:35.340going to deny her God. Yeah, and and and fought for that baby's49800:38:35.380 --> 00:38:38.500life successfully. Yeah, yeah,want you read that scripture that you have49900:38:38.659 --> 00:38:42.250kind of at the end of thisarticle that you wrote. Like you guys50000:38:42.329 --> 00:38:45.889know, Vicky wrote an article that'scome of framework for this a podcast episode.50100:38:46.369 --> 00:38:51.889Read that scripture, maybe expounded ona little bit and then we'll yeah50200:38:52.210 --> 00:38:57.480thing up. Yeah, so it'sis AIAH forty one versus ten through thirteen.50300:38:57.679 --> 00:39:00.800And I will tell you what stopsme, and maybe it's what stops50400:39:00.840 --> 00:39:05.360a lot of us, from speakingto the workers, the service people that50500:39:05.440 --> 00:39:07.920are coming in, is fear.Yeah, I'm afraid. I'm afraid they're50600:39:07.920 --> 00:39:13.230gonna they're going to be mad.It is their job and I do feel50700:39:13.469 --> 00:39:19.869some you know, there's some kindof at some angst about that. Should50800:39:20.070 --> 00:39:22.309should I really be stopping someone whois putting food on the table? I50900:39:22.590 --> 00:39:30.900mean, they're not doing the abortionthere and anyway, so they're I don't51000:39:30.059 --> 00:39:37.019want to talk often times to theseservice workers and I think in the point51100:39:37.059 --> 00:39:43.889of this podcast is to say don'tever let fear stop you from doing what51200:39:44.090 --> 00:39:47.130God has called you to do,and I think quite often he has called51300:39:47.170 --> 00:39:52.199us to speak to those service workers. So that verst is a a forty51400:39:52.239 --> 00:39:57.440one verse ten to thirteen. Donot fear, for I am with you.51500:39:58.239 --> 00:40:00.719Do not anxiously look about you,for I am your God. I51600:40:01.480 --> 00:40:07.030will strengthen you, surely I willhelp you, surely I will uphold you51700:40:07.190 --> 00:40:14.590with my righteous right hand behold allthose who are angered at you will be,51800:40:15.110 --> 00:40:21.150will be shamed and dishonored. Ican't help but think of those security51900:40:21.190 --> 00:40:28.300men screaming and swearingness. Those whocontend with you will not be as nothing.52000:40:28.539 --> 00:40:32.539will be as nothing and will perish.
