Our course, our particular focus1100:00:55.359 --> 00:01:00.039is on the sidewalk and trying toencourage people and raise up people to get1200:01:00.079 --> 00:01:03.079involved on the sidewalks at their localabortion center. I would encourage you guys1300:01:03.120 --> 00:01:07.829just mentioned something that I've mentioned thepast couple of episodes is that we do,1400:01:07.030 --> 00:01:11.629on a monthly basis, Vickie andI, a sidewalk out reach training,1500:01:11.670 --> 00:01:14.510what we call sidewalk out reach onehundred and one, and we do1600:01:14.670 --> 00:01:19.019that online.

And alsowant to make sure you're connected to a2400:01:41.209 --> 00:01:46.409local church. We believe it's veryimportant to have the accountability and the encouragement2500:01:46.409 --> 00:01:49.879that comes from a local church.There's a few other things that we ask2600:01:49.959 --> 00:01:52.920of that application. Not to indepth, but in depth enough, I2700:01:53.079 --> 00:01:56.120think. So.

And with that we're going4300:03:07.349 --> 00:03:12.750to get into our episode. We'vebeen doing some training episodes. We've thought4400:03:12.830 --> 00:03:15.300to take our sidewalk out reach trainingthat we do on a monthly basis and4500:03:15.460 --> 00:03:20.860go more in depth than we're ableto do in a zoom training and to4600:03:20.979 --> 00:03:24.180dig into some of these topics thelast topic that we talked about is preparation4700:03:24.740 --> 00:03:30.409and the information that's necessary for youto gather information. What information do you4800:03:30.490 --> 00:03:32.289need to have? If you didn'tcheck out that episode yet, please go4900:03:32.409 --> 00:03:36.770back listen to that episode. Veryimportant. There's information that we need.5000:03:37.449 --> 00:03:42.840This time we're going to talk aboutthe necessities. These last two episodes,5100:03:42.960 --> 00:03:46.360this episode, in the episode beforeand believe the episode before that. Pretty5200:03:46.400 --> 00:03:50.439practical? Yeah, not, notreally. I guess I want to say5300:03:50.479 --> 00:03:54.199spiritual. Everything we do for Christiansis spiritual, but really just in the5400:03:54.439 --> 00:03:59.189the practical, the nitty gritty stuff, the basics of what you need to5500:03:59.349 --> 00:04:00.870be able to go out there.Yeah, we talked about information. We5600:04:00.990 --> 00:04:04.550talked about what some of the stuffyou need to know. So, anyway,5700:04:04.629 --> 00:04:09.870check that episode out and stick withus. In this episode we're going5800:04:09.909 --> 00:04:15.459to talk about gathering necessities and someof the things we're talking about in necessities,5900:04:15.579 --> 00:04:17.459I mean we even get down to, and I think we shared this6000:04:17.579 --> 00:04:21.379in the last episode a little bit, is wearing some good shoes right,6100:04:21.500 --> 00:04:27.769being prepared, just practically being preparedwith, you know, being warm enough6200:04:27.769 --> 00:04:31.410right, having warm enough clothing.Yep, all of that stuff we're probably6300:04:31.569 --> 00:04:38.410gonna maybe in a little bit repeata few of the points that we made6400:04:38.449 --> 00:04:42.759last time around, but not reallymaybe more expound on those points. Right.6500:04:42.800 --> 00:04:46.240Yeah, but one of the firstthings we want to encourage you,6600:04:46.279 --> 00:04:51.480guys and just gathering necessities is somethingthat we've talked about before and that's having6700:04:51.519 --> 00:04:57.230a list of local and national resources. What are we talking about, Vicky,6800:04:57.269 --> 00:05:00.310when we're talking about a list oflocal and national resources? It's one6900:05:00.310 --> 00:05:04.069of our three talking points, whichwill get into, hopefully in a couple7000:05:04.069 --> 00:05:06.980more episodes. We'll talk about thethree talking points and break that down a7100:05:06.980 --> 00:05:11.660little more. Right. But resourcesis one of our three talking points.7200:05:11.779 --> 00:05:15.339What do we mean by the yeah, yeah, resources is just, quite7300:05:15.339 --> 00:05:19.540simply, what will help them inwhatever obstacle they faced. What? What7400:05:19.899 --> 00:05:27.170is the most helpful things that theyneed, services, whatever. And I7500:05:27.250 --> 00:05:30.449think we've mentioned in the past thatwe have pulled the women that we work7600:05:30.529 --> 00:05:34.879with who have chosen life and we'veasked them what the single most important word7700:05:34.959 --> 00:05:39.519they heard that help them make achoice for life, and it was overwhelmingly7800:05:39.560 --> 00:05:46.560the word help. They want help. oftentimes they think that's the most important7900:05:46.600 --> 00:05:50.629thing and really, when you boilit all down, it's not that they8000:05:50.709 --> 00:05:54.949need help as much as they needa heart change. They need a heart8100:05:54.949 --> 00:05:58.790change towards God and the sanctity ofthat of that precious life that they carry8200:05:58.790 --> 00:06:02.029in the womb. But what thereasons? So the resources do two things8300:06:02.110 --> 00:06:04.660really. First of all, itsays, okay, you want help,8400:06:04.860 --> 00:06:09.379we got help and and you listoff the resources. But also what it8500:06:09.459 --> 00:06:15.980can do is expose the their heart. And when you've listed all the help8600:06:15.540 --> 00:06:23.490that they have identified as needing andthey're still wavering, they're still thinking abortion8700:06:23.689 --> 00:06:29.449is the answer, you've just shownthem it's not your circumstances, it's not8800:06:29.730 --> 00:06:35.800the help that you need, it'sthe heart that is deceived and rebellious against8900:06:35.879 --> 00:06:42.839God. So local and national resources. National because we are expanding. Love9000:06:42.920 --> 00:06:46.519life is expanding throughout the nation.The goal is, of course, to9100:06:46.600 --> 00:06:49.509be a Christian presence at every oneof those seven hundred abortion centers that currently9200:06:49.550 --> 00:06:57.949don't have Christian presence at them.And so knowing the national resources helps because,9300:06:58.069 --> 00:07:00.230first of all you can help eachother and and be able to recommend9400:07:00.269 --> 00:07:04.939resources that would apply no matter whereyou are. But also people that come9500:07:05.019 --> 00:07:11.939to abortion centers often come from veryfar away. For sure that happens here.9600:07:12.379 --> 00:07:15.970We're one of the largest abortion centersin the southeast. We get people9700:07:15.970 --> 00:07:19.769from Florida, Georgia, Tennessee allthe surrounding states, and part of that9800:07:19.970 --> 00:07:24.569is because people don't want to gonecessarily to an abortion center in their own9900:07:24.610 --> 00:07:28.649community because they'll be seen. Yeah, and they're ashamed. Yeah, absolutely,10000:07:28.689 --> 00:07:31.199they don't want people to recognize them. But so we touched on local10100:07:31.279 --> 00:07:35.279resources in the in the last podcast, but one of the things that we10200:07:35.439 --> 00:07:40.759thought would be valuable in this onewas going into a little bit more depth10300:07:41.120 --> 00:07:46.949about that list of resources. Andso we have an article accompanying this,10400:07:46.149 --> 00:07:50.389as we often do, so youcan all read through what we wrote out.10500:07:51.110 --> 00:07:56.990But we wanted to go over justsome of those local resources that you10600:07:56.990 --> 00:08:01.579might not necessarily think about as beingvalued. About valuable to find out.10700:08:01.579 --> 00:08:05.779So where can we first of allgo for resources? We talked about that10800:08:05.779 --> 00:08:09.540at least. We always tell forpeople to go is to Google. That's10900:08:09.579 --> 00:08:13.129where we go. That's where wefound the resources, right, right,11000:08:13.490 --> 00:08:18.930and there's there's things within Google.I know you have here written at Berthacom,11100:08:18.449 --> 00:08:24.529which is a it has resources byZip Code. That's really valuable.11200:08:24.730 --> 00:08:31.199Free things by ZIP code. Soand they have a whole wealth of free11300:08:31.279 --> 00:08:35.559things, not just for a pregnantmom. But when when MOM's list,11400:08:35.960 --> 00:08:39.360one of the top things we hearis finances. Yeah, that that they11500:08:39.440 --> 00:08:43.230need help with finances. We don'tgive money and we don't recommend that anyone11600:08:43.269 --> 00:08:48.509gives money because you just never knowwhat that's going to go towards. But11700:08:48.870 --> 00:08:52.149if you can list and come upwith resources that normally people would have to11800:08:52.269 --> 00:08:56.899be spending money on, that helpswith their finances. And so aunt Bertha11900:08:58.100 --> 00:09:03.379has all of these. It's wwwacom. Yes, and it's not like it's12000:09:03.419 --> 00:09:07.019a Christian website or anything. It'sjust a website that's compiled free resources,12100:09:07.139 --> 00:09:11.450frees stuff, avenues, right peopleto go and things for people to take12200:09:11.450 --> 00:09:16.610advantage of across the nation. Well, so google is a great, great12300:09:16.649 --> 00:09:18.769resource. And another thing are thechurches themselves. Yeah, if you go12400:09:18.850 --> 00:09:22.809to the churches and say that,Hey, what, what are you already12500:09:22.889 --> 00:09:26.759offering? Like child care is oneof those things that maybe you could offer12600:09:26.840 --> 00:09:33.440for free to to a pregnant mom. So let's see. So I'm going12700:09:33.480 --> 00:09:37.519to talk real quick because we're talkingabout having this stuff, having this compiled.12800:09:39.909 --> 00:09:43.830What format now. I think we'veshared this also, that we have12900:09:43.950 --> 00:09:48.110a particular format that we're sharing theirresources in. But let's talk a little13000:09:48.110 --> 00:09:52.379bit about what format we're talking about. So what we did was, as13100:09:52.460 --> 00:09:56.179we're compiling the resources, as soonas it was more than four or five13200:09:56.500 --> 00:10:00.940you got to organize it. Sure, so we have a table of contents13300:10:01.019 --> 00:10:05.940organized alphabetically. I think I'm noteven positive about that. I think it13400:10:05.059 --> 00:10:09.330is so that it's easier for themto find that. And we have one13500:10:09.450 --> 00:10:13.769that is for our counselors because there'sa lot of confidential information on there.13600:10:13.809 --> 00:10:18.889There might be personal cell phone numberson there that you don't want to give13700:10:18.929 --> 00:10:20.440out, for like the doctors thatwill see him for you, the doctors13800:10:20.519 --> 00:10:24.759like that. That's right. Wedon't share that information with anybody and everybody.13900:10:24.840 --> 00:10:26.279That's right. You only want it, you want your counselors. There14000:10:26.279 --> 00:10:30.879are some resources that have said theydo not want the mom's calling them.14100:10:30.919 --> 00:10:35.279They want only a counselor calling themfor the referral. Sure so we have14200:10:35.360 --> 00:10:41.590a general resource guide, you know, organized alphabetically, the the different resources14300:10:41.750 --> 00:10:46.950that we put out on our frontlineteam group. That only are our councilor14400:10:46.029 --> 00:10:52.220see. And then out of thatwe've developed a pamphlet, general resource pamphlet,14500:10:52.740 --> 00:10:56.620which is smaller, again, organizedby you know, with a table14600:10:56.700 --> 00:11:01.860of contents organized alphabetically, and that'swhat we hand out to the MOMS,14700:11:01.899 --> 00:11:05.090where we've already checked everything that's onthere and made sure that this is something14800:11:05.090 --> 00:11:09.690that's okay to go out to thegeneral public. So is that? Does14900:11:09.730 --> 00:11:13.370that answer your question about how youknow it can be as so the booklet15000:11:13.450 --> 00:11:16.649we have, it's basically a bookletand right just necessarily, even a pamphlet15100:11:16.690 --> 00:11:20.279that we can give and we don'tjust hand those out to anybody and everybody.15200:11:20.279 --> 00:11:24.039But if we get into an indepthconversation with the mom, with the15300:11:24.080 --> 00:11:28.039dad or whatever, right and westart hearing about the needs for resources,15400:11:28.120 --> 00:11:31.519we have that booklet that we cangive them. We can go through and15500:11:31.679 --> 00:11:35.870either highlight or underline the certain placesthat they can call. We want to15600:11:35.909 --> 00:11:39.230kind of put some of that burdenoff on them as far as digging for15700:11:39.309 --> 00:11:43.269those resources. Right, we've compiledthem for them, but here's the numbers15800:11:43.309 --> 00:11:46.659you need to call. And thereare some of those resources, like maternity15900:11:46.700 --> 00:11:50.820homes and things like that, thatthey would have to call anyway. We16000:11:50.860 --> 00:11:52.580could call and we could say,Hey, we have a person here,16100:11:52.620 --> 00:11:54.179but they'd ultimately need to talk tothem anyway. Right. So that's a16200:11:54.220 --> 00:11:58.860booklet that we have, but maybeyou've just got a short list of resources.16300:11:58.019 --> 00:12:01.100Mean, one of the things thatwe do on the back of our16400:12:01.289 --> 00:12:05.210brochures that we give to the womengoing in, and this is everybody gets16500:12:05.250 --> 00:12:07.049this, everybody that will stop andtake it right on the back of that,16600:12:07.250 --> 00:12:11.250we've actually made up a sticker thathas our local pregnancy centers in the16700:12:11.289 --> 00:12:16.919maternity homes and adoption agencies and thingslike that on the back of that sticker16800:12:18.000 --> 00:12:20.799we just kind of slap on there. It's a quick one glance. They16900:12:20.840 --> 00:12:26.279can look as each city that theymight be from. So Charlotte, don't17000:12:26.279 --> 00:12:30.429have the pregnancy center in Charlotte.In Greenville, South Carolina, have a17100:12:30.470 --> 00:12:33.750pregnancy center there to have the phonenumber so they can call, and then17200:12:33.789 --> 00:12:37.029again the different maternity homes, pregnancycenters, things like that. It's a17300:12:37.149 --> 00:12:41.149real short list, yeah, ofsome of the most pressing needs that people17400:12:41.190 --> 00:12:46.059come and I think on that alsois where the national sorts of things would17500:12:46.059 --> 00:12:50.700be, like a national domestic hotline, domestic abuse hotl right, if17600:12:50.779 --> 00:12:56.340you've been harmed in an abortion thelegal aid or whatever hot line, or17700:12:56.740 --> 00:13:03.370abortion workercom again, a national,yeah, site that will help abortion workers.17800:13:03.370 --> 00:13:07.009Sex Trafficking. There's sex traffic contractthere for a sex trafficking organization,17900:13:07.049 --> 00:13:11.490right, if they're being trafficked.There's a little bright blurb kind of on18000:13:11.570 --> 00:13:13.240the back of our pamphlet that talksabout out that as well. Yeah,18100:13:13.240 --> 00:13:16.399yeah, so those are kind ofthe national ones that everybody. Those are18200:13:16.440 --> 00:13:20.120going to be needs that you're goingto find at every abortion center and and18300:13:22.200 --> 00:13:26.879their nationwide those that those resources andhelp its nationwide. Yeah, but you18400:13:26.960 --> 00:13:31.190could do something as simple as makingup on your printer at home, right,18500:13:31.309 --> 00:13:37.149just a quick little bullet pointed categorizedlike maybe say pregnancy centers as a18600:13:37.950 --> 00:13:41.820title there, and then under thatlist your local pregnancy centers than maternity homes18700:13:41.860 --> 00:13:46.100as a kind of a title orsubject topic there, sub title, and18800:13:46.179 --> 00:13:48.820then list those up underneath and justslip it in the brochures that you hand18900:13:48.860 --> 00:13:52.059out. You don't have to makeup a sticker and put on the back.19000:13:52.139 --> 00:13:56.169You can do that. Yeah,be maybe better and less problems.19100:13:56.490 --> 00:13:58.769You know, I know one ofthe things being at the abortion center.19200:13:58.889 --> 00:14:01.929Being on the sidewalk there and tryingto hand out literature, you can drop19300:14:01.049 --> 00:14:05.169stuff. I see people dropping brochures. One of the reasons why we use19400:14:05.210 --> 00:14:09.330everything as a sticker. We kindof stick it into the brochure if we19500:14:09.370 --> 00:14:13.879add additional things right, because thingsjust get dropped and you know, I've19600:14:13.879 --> 00:14:20.039seen people have the tracks, Gospeltracks, but in also have a prolife19700:14:20.120 --> 00:14:22.200brochure or whatever, and then they'llhave something about, I don't know,19800:14:22.519 --> 00:14:26.669stds or something like that, andthey'll have the brochures will just all be19900:14:26.710 --> 00:14:30.629laying on the ground because they're they'renot compiled in such a way where they20000:14:30.669 --> 00:14:33.470stay together. So we make allthat kind of a sticker form just so20100:14:33.549 --> 00:14:35.429we can be real quick and handthat brochure to they get them the most20200:14:35.470 --> 00:14:39.259information that we can into their hands. Yeah, but if you're just starting20300:14:39.299 --> 00:14:41.740out, you may not yet havethat kind of resources available to you and20400:14:43.179 --> 00:14:48.379just sticking it's having that list.And one of the complaints I've heard from20500:14:48.539 --> 00:14:54.049the pro socalled choice people is allyou've done is is put in resources that20600:14:54.129 --> 00:14:58.090they could have found themselves. That'soften true, sure, but they don't20700:14:58.370 --> 00:15:03.769their women in crisis. They mayor may not know that these resources are20800:15:03.809 --> 00:15:09.919available, and when you've got helpthat outlines every area all in one neatly20900:15:09.000 --> 00:15:15.360compiled place, it really can instantlycalm their fears and I've seen that over21000:15:15.639 --> 00:15:18.799and over again. That and Ihear over and over again. I had21100:15:18.919 --> 00:15:22.990no idea that there were all theseresources, so I wanted to list just21200:15:22.110 --> 00:15:26.590some of them just so that youknow some of the things you can google21300:15:26.870 --> 00:15:30.830in in your area and find.But Housing, yeah, both Christian and21400:15:30.990 --> 00:15:35.019Public Christian housing. You're going tohave to dig. Churches are good source21500:15:35.100 --> 00:15:39.500for that. PRC's pregnancy resource centersare a good choice for that. In21600:15:39.620 --> 00:15:43.659terms of secular government housing, youcan just google. You'll find that right21700:15:43.740 --> 00:15:48.700away. Child Care, big deal. Contacting the local churches, finding out21800:15:48.740 --> 00:15:54.129if they already have childcare programs.Most communities do have some sort of already21900:15:54.250 --> 00:15:58.330low cost child care programs. Findingout about them, calling them, finding22000:15:58.370 --> 00:16:03.409out if they would even be maybeoffer a free child care for mom who22100:16:03.409 --> 00:16:07.440has chosen life. We talked aboutAmbertha. That's a great one. Free,22200:16:07.600 --> 00:16:11.440free resources by ZIP code, FoodPantries by ZIP code. You can22300:16:11.480 --> 00:16:17.159find that if you google again.They probably know that there are such a22400:16:17.279 --> 00:16:19.389thing as food pantries. Most ofthem do. But if you've got it22500:16:19.549 --> 00:16:25.230organized, especially Church Food Pantries,which is often times where they are.22600:16:25.269 --> 00:16:30.509There's also some secular ones, butyou've got that by ZIP code and the22700:16:30.710 --> 00:16:34.620hours of operation, maybe the phonenumbers, you just simplifying that process for22800:16:34.740 --> 00:16:38.419them and that's money they don't needto be spending your groceries. So it22900:16:38.539 --> 00:16:42.700deals with the you know, financialissue. Pregnancy resource centers, we just23000:16:42.899 --> 00:16:48.490we've spent other podcast talking a lotabout them really important. One of them23100:16:48.570 --> 00:16:52.129that we have is option, adoption, but if that is I believe they23200:16:52.129 --> 00:16:56.330are national, but they began inthis area. But any kind of adoption23300:16:56.450 --> 00:17:00.720resources that you might have in yourarea. So you never know, if23400:17:00.759 --> 00:17:04.519you've got the number right there,maybe they will call and make that an23500:17:04.599 --> 00:17:10.519option other than just abortion. Onethat I didn't think of until I'd been23600:17:10.519 --> 00:17:15.549out there a while jobs for felons. Many of the abortion workers are felons23700:17:17.069 --> 00:17:21.269and they can't find work, butabortion centers will hire them. Yeah,23800:17:21.309 --> 00:17:25.829so if you can have a listof companies and industries, again it's a23900:17:25.829 --> 00:17:32.619nationalist the one that we have ofindustries that will hire felons, then that's24000:17:32.940 --> 00:17:37.539a way to and enties abortion workersto leave. Yeah, emergency help with24100:17:37.740 --> 00:17:42.500utilities and rent. Most communities havethat. And having that number their clothing24200:17:42.579 --> 00:17:48.809ministries. A lot of churches andPRC, pregnancy resource centers, will provide24300:17:48.890 --> 00:17:53.569clothing. Yeah, for not onlythe pregnant the baby in the womb when24400:17:53.730 --> 00:18:00.400once that baby's born, but forother siblings. Addiction ministries and Rehab Programs.24500:18:00.680 --> 00:18:03.599That's really come in handy. Yeah, for us, I know we24600:18:03.720 --> 00:18:08.119shared some months ago a testimony ofa young lady who came who was drug24700:18:08.160 --> 00:18:11.759addicted, as we were going throughand sharing some of these testimonies and doing24800:18:11.759 --> 00:18:15.509these case studies. Yeah, andthat was an important resource to be able24900:18:15.509 --> 00:18:19.109to connect her with a drug rehabplace that actually would would take in a25000:18:19.190 --> 00:18:22.190mom who was pregnant, right,and we doug for that. Found that25100:18:22.309 --> 00:18:26.069resource, yeah, from Google,I believe it was. Yeah, and25200:18:26.150 --> 00:18:30.059I think it's important to know thatmost of these addiction and Rehab centers and25300:18:30.180 --> 00:18:36.059maternity centers, especially if it's forlong term, will take out a state25400:18:36.180 --> 00:18:41.210people and they will switch over theMedicaid, pregnancy Medicaid, to the new25500:18:41.329 --> 00:18:45.130state. They will do all ofthat. So you just because you're in25600:18:45.289 --> 00:18:51.170one state and maybe your community doesn'thave one of these resource centers. Keep25700:18:51.210 --> 00:18:53.809googling because they that's how we foundit. This one was in Kentucky and25800:18:55.009 --> 00:18:59.160we're here in North Carolina and Ididn't realize that at the time that you25900:18:59.319 --> 00:19:03.319can. You don't have to livein the state to be able to use26000:19:03.559 --> 00:19:08.920the facilities in another state necessarily.So that's important to know. Embrace grace26100:19:10.589 --> 00:19:15.509is an organization I didn't know about. Again, their national with local chapters26200:19:15.549 --> 00:19:21.430all over the nation and they providenationwide mentorship from plan pregnancies. What we26300:19:21.630 --> 00:19:29.539do here through Love Life America.There embrace grace does. It's already in26400:19:29.660 --> 00:19:34.779place in many communities. Yeah,now I would say it is not connected26500:19:34.940 --> 00:19:40.369to the church the way I thinklove life is, but they're Christians.26600:19:40.410 --> 00:19:44.529Yeah, and for those of youwho maybe you have not yet been able26700:19:44.569 --> 00:19:47.930to get a love life chapter inyour area or House of a church,26800:19:48.089 --> 00:19:51.130what do they call them? Churchof refuge? Hows Rift House of Refuge26900:19:51.250 --> 00:19:53.880Church that's going to back up thementors, which is what we have with27000:19:55.039 --> 00:20:00.799Love Life America. Well, youcan maybe contact embrace grace. They're wonderful.27100:20:00.799 --> 00:20:04.119They do baby showers. They dodiscipleship. So they are a really27200:20:04.240 --> 00:20:08.910important resource that I didn't know aboutuntil I had been out here for a27300:20:08.990 --> 00:20:15.309while. Job Assistants. That's oneof our resources and we found that by27400:20:15.430 --> 00:20:21.029just finding volunteers willing to help momsfind jobs. They don't even have any27500:20:21.029 --> 00:20:25.619special training. These foundeers that wefound, but they become very good at27600:20:25.700 --> 00:20:30.420helping the MOMS to look for work. Just knowing there's someone that's willing to27700:20:30.539 --> 00:20:36.690help them look for work if they'reout of work can often calm their frantic27800:20:36.849 --> 00:20:41.410fears. Financial Counseling. It's anotherone. Budgeting and financial counseling has been27900:20:41.450 --> 00:20:48.529a really and we have financial counselorsfrom from financial counseling industries that are willing28000:20:48.569 --> 00:20:55.119to do that for free for MOMSwho choose life. Grants and scholarships for28100:20:55.200 --> 00:20:57.880single MOMS. I found that throughjust googling and there's lots of them.28200:20:59.319 --> 00:21:03.000Grants and scholarships back to college,they pay tuition whatever. There are even28300:21:03.039 --> 00:21:08.430colleges that have special programs for singleMOMS, and knowing that and putting that28400:21:08.549 --> 00:21:15.309on a list is really valuable.Pro Life Doctors. That's really it's important28500:21:15.309 --> 00:21:19.140resource there and it's really hard tofind, it is. Yeah, surprisingly.28600:21:19.339 --> 00:21:23.940So that's a challenge for you inyour area. Then definitely put it28700:21:25.059 --> 00:21:27.220to prayer, because there are theirdoctors in your area, I can guarantee28800:21:27.220 --> 00:21:30.859you, that are believers in Jesusand that would be willing to use their28900:21:30.900 --> 00:21:36.730skills to minister to a mom andthey may not even know about, for29000:21:36.849 --> 00:21:40.289whatever reason, the ministry at theabortion centers or the fact that there's their29100:21:40.329 --> 00:21:42.730skills could be used in this way. Yeah, so be praying for that.29200:21:44.210 --> 00:21:47.519Be You know, be digging forthat information if you can. I29300:21:47.640 --> 00:21:52.680believe there's a Oh gosh, it'sa website and you maybe can just google29400:21:52.759 --> 00:21:56.480search. It's been a while sinceI looked on it. But prolife doctors,29500:21:56.519 --> 00:21:59.920I think there's actually a whole networkof pro life doctors. Yeah,29600:21:59.920 --> 00:22:03.549or pro life maybe specifically her lifewould be Gui in maybe it'd be good29700:22:03.630 --> 00:22:07.910to look on that, yeah,and and try to find out if there's29800:22:07.910 --> 00:22:12.109one in your area. And thewonderful thing that happens when you find one29900:22:14.029 --> 00:22:18.059and then you tell them the needand they get hooked, because they do30000:22:18.299 --> 00:22:22.339get hooked. They find out.Wow, I mean I'm already a doctor,30100:22:22.420 --> 00:22:27.460already committed to life. I'm alreadysaving lives in my practice. But30200:22:27.779 --> 00:22:37.730look at this whole group of peoplethat are choosing death and my influence in30300:22:37.930 --> 00:22:45.119input and help can actually save ababy's life when they they really become invested30400:22:45.279 --> 00:22:48.720and they have friends and they startto talk to your friends. And we30500:22:48.880 --> 00:22:52.880have seen that here in Charlotte.There's been, there's a couple of just30600:22:52.400 --> 00:22:59.430really on fire pro life doctors herein Charlotte. One of them who pioneered30700:22:59.430 --> 00:23:02.789the abortion pill, Dr Matt Harrison'sBill Reverse. No, I'm sorry,30800:23:02.829 --> 00:23:06.349the abortion. I'm very sorry,the abortion for reversal. Right, and30900:23:06.589 --> 00:23:11.549he has pro life friends that thatthen he contacts on our behalf. And31000:23:11.630 --> 00:23:15.859then someone who came to council withus on the sidewalk, edith, who31100:23:15.900 --> 00:23:21.339we did a podcast with, andshe has just been a wealth of information31200:23:21.420 --> 00:23:26.980about connecting us with other doctors.So once you find one, you tend31300:23:26.019 --> 00:23:29.890to be able to find others.Yeah, absolutely. I just did a31400:23:29.890 --> 00:23:33.809quick little google search myself. Okay, again, we've got a good network31500:23:33.849 --> 00:23:37.890of pro life doctors here in Charlotte'swe haven't needed this resource really for quite31600:23:37.930 --> 00:23:44.480some time, but it's aaplog DotOrg. Yeah, yeah, so that's31700:23:44.640 --> 00:23:51.880the American Association of Pro Life Obstetriciansand gynecologists. Again, it's www dot31800:23:52.519 --> 00:23:59.710aapl og dot org and you cansearch on there and find local pro life31900:23:59.789 --> 00:24:03.390doctors. So that's a good resource. That's an awesome resource. Something I32000:24:03.470 --> 00:24:07.269didn't think about until, honestly,till I was counseling a terrified eighteen year32100:24:07.309 --> 00:24:12.900old and her terror is childbirth.It's leading her to keep waffling back and32200:24:12.980 --> 00:24:18.259forth between life and abortion. Sheis so afraid of having a baby.32300:24:18.019 --> 00:24:26.930Doulas. There are Dulas that now, sadly, there is this new upsurge32400:24:26.170 --> 00:24:30.529of Du Lah's that will be withmoms while they're aboarding. Yeah, this32500:24:30.769 --> 00:24:34.809to me just breaks my heart.So you need to be sure what kind32600:24:34.809 --> 00:24:40.039of Duela you're talking to, butDoula's are the women that will walk alongside32700:24:40.079 --> 00:24:45.640a woman through childbirth, actually throughthe pregnancy and and childbirth, and help32800:24:45.759 --> 00:24:48.079them through that experience. So apro life Dula's. We have found a32900:24:48.160 --> 00:24:52.039couple that are willing to do itfor free. They're on our resource list33000:24:52.119 --> 00:24:56.589and that's been a huge, hugehelp, legal help a lot of these33100:24:56.710 --> 00:25:00.789MOMS. I have heard this countlesstimes they want to abort because they don't33200:25:00.789 --> 00:25:06.670want to be tied down for eighteenyears to either an abusive man or the33300:25:06.750 --> 00:25:11.059man who told them to abort theirchild or whatever. Yeah, and child33400:25:11.259 --> 00:25:18.019custody becomes an issue. Yeah,it's so sad. Very few these MOMS33500:25:18.059 --> 00:25:22.690can afford legal help. So ifyou've got someone willing to help them for33600:25:22.849 --> 00:25:27.049free, there's a couple of organizationswe've worked with right yet it that have33700:25:27.170 --> 00:25:33.329provided free legal help. Yeah,absolutely, and it's not like that's available33800:25:33.369 --> 00:25:37.240in every area that lawyers can justjump on that. You may have some33900:25:37.359 --> 00:25:41.480lawyers. I mean I think thefirst place to be looking for things like34000:25:41.680 --> 00:25:45.519this, for doctors and lawyers thatcan help in this area, would be34100:25:45.559 --> 00:25:48.359in your own congregations. Yes,ask us around if they are doctors that34200:25:49.029 --> 00:25:52.269that are part of the the churchthat you fellowship in, or their lawyers34300:25:52.309 --> 00:25:56.670that are there other people that canhelp out with these different things? Be34400:25:56.829 --> 00:25:59.349asking. Yeah, you have not, because you ask not. Yeah,34500:25:59.430 --> 00:26:03.579there's a lawyer in your congregation whereyou were, you worship and you fellowship34600:26:04.339 --> 00:26:07.619instead of a meeting with him.Yeah, and I ask, Hey,34700:26:07.700 --> 00:26:10.579would you be willing to offer yourlegal services to a mom that we get34800:26:10.619 --> 00:26:15.019in some pretty hairy situations from timeto time where we have a guy who34900:26:15.019 --> 00:26:18.690wants to maybe once or two,abort but when she has the baby,35000:26:18.769 --> 00:26:22.970wants to kind of try to suefor custody or for visitation rights with the35100:26:22.009 --> 00:26:27.569baby. And maybe he's none ofthese. Many of these men, these35200:26:27.609 --> 00:26:32.769young men, are not very goodgood if they're not taking responsibility for their35300:26:32.809 --> 00:26:34.799children. So there needs to besome pushback legally and if we have a35400:26:36.319 --> 00:26:37.839lawyer they can do that. Itcan help us share that mom that Yep,35500:26:37.920 --> 00:26:41.440you know that she's she's safe andall. Yeah, yeah, and35600:26:41.599 --> 00:26:48.190we've found our financial if we didfind a lawyer who would see someone for35700:26:48.390 --> 00:26:53.470free, just by asking our networkof churches and and followers, and same35800:26:53.549 --> 00:26:57.630with our financial counselor they were boththere. Are Their trained professional. Same35900:26:57.710 --> 00:27:02.819with counseling. Yeah, that's anotherthing. Go to go to Christian counselors36000:27:02.859 --> 00:27:07.460in the area of which most communitieshave them. If you can't find them,36100:27:07.500 --> 00:27:11.420I know focus on the family willhelp you find Christian counselors in your36200:27:11.460 --> 00:27:15.420area and go talk to them seeif one would be willing to take on36300:27:15.700 --> 00:27:18.890for free, even by phone.Some of the MOM's that you work with.36400:27:18.289 --> 00:27:22.609Yeah, so I'm going to jumpin because, like Vicki mentioned,36500:27:22.650 --> 00:27:26.369and like we always talk about,we have this article on our sidewalks for36600:27:26.450 --> 00:27:30.759life website. You can go tosidewalks for lifecom just click equipping articles.36700:27:30.799 --> 00:27:34.240A lot of times I like tolink it in the description of the podcast,36800:27:34.359 --> 00:27:37.279but sometimes the article doesn't come outthe same time the podcast does.36900:27:37.920 --> 00:27:41.599So if you don't see it,then look for in a couple of days37000:27:41.640 --> 00:27:45.589if you listen to this podcast andlooking for this article, because we have37100:27:45.710 --> 00:27:48.710this kind of listed out for youguys to dig into. But let's talk37200:27:48.990 --> 00:27:52.829real quick, because this is thisis really important. Yes, we talk37300:27:52.869 --> 00:27:56.670about brochures and tracks that we giveout at the abortion centers. Yeah,37400:27:56.750 --> 00:28:00.339now, I don't want to saythis, I've been to places. I've37500:28:00.339 --> 00:28:03.539been to a lot of abortion centers, especially over the past six months or37600:28:03.579 --> 00:28:07.539so, just helping encourage folks allacross a nation. I see different people37700:28:07.779 --> 00:28:11.380in from different ministries and things likethat. I'm not knocking anybody, I'm37800:28:11.380 --> 00:28:15.289not judging anybody or anything like that, so to speak, but I do37900:28:15.410 --> 00:28:19.529have a little bit of experience inthis in this realm and sometimes. What38000:28:19.650 --> 00:28:26.170I see when I go to observepeople at the abortion center reaching ails,38100:28:26.170 --> 00:28:30.880I'll see them trying to give amom stopping it in, coming into the38200:28:30.880 --> 00:28:34.599abortion clinner clinic, stopping into thedriveway a whole packet of stuff. I'm38300:28:34.640 --> 00:28:38.960talking like some places. I've seenthem give like a bag with all kinds38400:28:38.960 --> 00:28:41.910of stuff. It'll have a Biblein there, it'll have a brochure about38500:28:41.950 --> 00:28:45.309everything you can think of in there, it'll have directions to their church and38600:28:45.430 --> 00:28:51.069man has all this stuff and obviouslythat's all well intended, right, but38700:28:51.190 --> 00:28:55.740we have to remember that we livein a bullet point society. We live38800:28:55.859 --> 00:29:00.859in a billboard society, YEA,and what I'm discovered is in this scenario,38900:29:00.900 --> 00:29:06.259less is more. Right. Ifyou give someone a whole handful of39000:29:06.380 --> 00:29:10.769literature, they are going to readnone of it. Yep, and your39100:29:10.809 --> 00:29:12.930intention is, of course you wantto cover every subject you possibly can,39200:29:14.410 --> 00:29:18.890and I get that, but justthink about in our modern age the attention39300:29:18.009 --> 00:29:22.930span of people. Right a poston facebook, if it's more than a39400:29:22.970 --> 00:29:26.880couple of sentences, people keep scrolling. I do it. I don't know39500:29:26.880 --> 00:29:29.720if you do that, but ifI, if I'm scrolling O death.39600:29:29.799 --> 00:29:32.720I'm a writer. I'd like toread. I mean your less shallow than39700:29:32.720 --> 00:29:34.880I am, I'm sure, probably, but if you guys are honest,39800:29:34.960 --> 00:29:38.990I would I would bet about halfof you at least. As you're scrolling39900:29:40.069 --> 00:29:44.990through facebook or whatever and you seea post and someone says long post warning,40000:29:45.349 --> 00:29:48.990can you go and right say thanksfor the warning and you keep going40100:29:48.069 --> 00:29:52.269right, because we have a limitedamount of time we have. Personally,40200:29:52.509 --> 00:29:56.819I have a limited attention span.So if you were to give me a40300:29:56.940 --> 00:30:00.740brochure and then give me another brochureand then give me another brochure and then40400:30:00.779 --> 00:30:04.539give me another one on every subjectunder the Sun, I'm probably not going40500:30:04.539 --> 00:30:07.049to read any of I'm just goingto be overwhelmed. Right, right,40600:30:07.089 --> 00:30:12.009yeah, that's what happens as you'redriving down the road and there's a billboard40700:30:12.089 --> 00:30:15.849with a bunch of information on youever seen a billboard with like that's really40800:30:17.009 --> 00:30:19.369wordy. Yeah, you just ignoreit because you don't have the time to40900:30:19.450 --> 00:30:22.640take it in. And you gotto think in the mindset of a young41000:30:22.759 --> 00:30:26.599mother coming into an abortion center,not not just the attention span thing,41100:30:26.279 --> 00:30:30.720but there's the factor of fear thatshe's dealing with. There's anxiety that she's41200:30:30.759 --> 00:30:33.680dealing with. There's a lot ofstuff that's going through her mind. So,41300:30:33.759 --> 00:30:37.470yeah, I really think we haveto be careful and not overloading them41400:30:37.549 --> 00:30:41.670with the bunch of information and inthe information that we do give them,41500:30:41.950 --> 00:30:45.470that it gets right to the point, and I think it brochure, the41600:30:45.750 --> 00:30:48.190brochure that we give out does that. Yeah, I think it touches on41700:30:48.349 --> 00:30:52.980the different aspects that I think tobe touched on without going too far in41800:30:52.059 --> 00:30:56.619depth. And obviously the Gospel isshared their their scripture that shared. Yep.41900:30:56.859 --> 00:31:00.059So that's what I'll say just apreface. Yeah, we're talking about42000:31:00.059 --> 00:31:06.369brochures and tracks that cover various subjects. I think we should have at our42100:31:06.450 --> 00:31:11.930fingertips brochures that do cover these differentsubjects, but I don't think we should42200:31:11.930 --> 00:31:15.690give it all to them at onetime. Exactly good point, and in42300:31:15.769 --> 00:31:19.160fact they can find these pressures rightthe ones that we have on sidebox life.42400:31:19.359 --> 00:31:23.519Yeah, sidewalks for livecom. There'sa section there in the drop down42500:31:23.559 --> 00:31:29.000menu. I think it's digital resources, and they are are they're all free.42600:31:29.160 --> 00:31:33.029But to Daniels Point, we havetwo main pamphlets that we hand out42700:31:33.069 --> 00:31:37.069to the women brochures. There area trifold and they've got so they've got42800:31:37.150 --> 00:31:42.349six panels and we've spent a lotof time honing those panels to have bullet42900:31:42.390 --> 00:31:48.259points that we think are the absolutemost critical things and they've saved lives.43000:31:48.420 --> 00:31:52.220We know that. We know peoplehave looked at these and chosen life just43100:31:52.380 --> 00:31:56.140based on what they've read in thosepressures. But the first one that we43200:31:56.339 --> 00:32:00.099hand out is to women coming in, so women who are clearly there for43300:32:00.180 --> 00:32:06.650an abortion, and it's really targetedto preventing that abortion the information that we43400:32:06.849 --> 00:32:10.769think will be most effective in helpingthem to choose life. Yeah, not,43500:32:12.009 --> 00:32:15.720not abortion. So that's our firstpamphlet. We're very careful, by43600:32:15.759 --> 00:32:20.519the way, on every pamphlet togive them our low coill contact, your43700:32:20.519 --> 00:32:22.880name and number. Always make sureit's on there. Yeah, there's there's43800:32:22.880 --> 00:32:27.039a box, even on the onesthat we have for you guys to print43900:32:27.079 --> 00:32:30.230out. It says call or textme anytime, where you can put your44000:32:30.430 --> 00:32:34.990private cell phone number in there.And then that sounds uncomfortable. You don't44100:32:34.990 --> 00:32:37.990necessarily have to put your private cellphone number in there. You can get44200:32:37.990 --> 00:32:39.069a google voice number. That's whatwe encourage people to do. If you44300:32:39.069 --> 00:32:42.829don't want to give your cell phonenow, Vicky does and I do.44400:32:42.990 --> 00:32:45.900I'll put my cell phone on theback of those. Thankfully we've haven't had44500:32:45.940 --> 00:32:49.980a whole lot of fallout from thatfrom the pro abortion people. But you44600:32:50.059 --> 00:32:53.180can set up a google voice numberif you just want to have not have44700:32:53.380 --> 00:32:57.579your cell phone number connected to thesebrochures. But we do feel like it's44800:32:57.619 --> 00:33:00.289really important that you have a personalcontact number. Yeah, you've got a44900:33:00.410 --> 00:33:05.130lift of resources on the back andpregnancy centers and things that they can call,45000:33:05.849 --> 00:33:09.250but it's important to make that personalconnection, that personal touch, especially45100:33:09.250 --> 00:33:13.519if you have an indepth conversation witha mom, so that you can just45200:33:13.640 --> 00:33:15.000point to the backup say here's myphone number right here, so they know45300:33:15.039 --> 00:33:19.400how to get in touch with you. That's like I think we mentioned maybe45400:33:19.400 --> 00:33:22.920even the last podcast. It's almostlike blasphemy if you hand out a piece45500:33:22.960 --> 00:33:27.509of literature and there's not a personalnumber on it, there's not a handwritten45600:33:27.549 --> 00:33:30.910personal number. We might whip you, yeah, we might. We make45700:33:30.990 --> 00:33:34.630fire you. Yeah, might fireDr Pay, doctor pays a volunteer.45800:33:35.349 --> 00:33:37.589It is really it is really importantto us because we had so many moms45900:33:37.630 --> 00:33:42.740that have chosen life over the yearsthat didn't let us know about that until46000:33:42.779 --> 00:33:46.460they went home. And you likeIsy and her testimony that we here on46100:33:46.500 --> 00:33:50.779this podcast. She share on thispodcast some months ago. She got a46200:33:50.859 --> 00:33:53.460brochure. She didn't tell us thatshe chose life until months later. She46300:33:53.539 --> 00:33:57.410still had it. She still hadthe brochure with your number on it.46400:33:57.490 --> 00:33:59.809Yep, got in touch with us. We were able to get her plugged46500:33:59.849 --> 00:34:04.210in the discipleship and we've had agreat relationship with her ever since. We46600:34:04.289 --> 00:34:07.130wouldn't have that's a good friend.If the number hadn't been on if your46700:34:07.130 --> 00:34:08.769number hadn't been on there, wewould not have had that contact. That46800:34:08.929 --> 00:34:13.079contact might not even known about herbaby. That was sentence right. And46900:34:13.360 --> 00:34:17.000and last just last week someone calledme, and I can tell right away47000:34:17.039 --> 00:34:22.039by their voice as this Vicky andit's someone I don't know and and she47100:34:22.199 --> 00:34:27.469said I have I have a brochurewith your name on it and I said,47200:34:28.150 --> 00:34:30.389well, tell me your situation.That's where I usually start. She47300:34:30.590 --> 00:34:36.269was she had had the abortion.It was actually her second abortion to within47400:34:36.510 --> 00:34:40.219four months. And and she said, I don't know why, but I'm47500:34:40.300 --> 00:34:45.420just I'm devastated. I don't knowwhat to do. I'm just really grieving.47600:34:45.460 --> 00:34:50.699Yeah, and and I talked withher for a long time and she47700:34:51.699 --> 00:34:53.969she knew she was not right withGod, she'd never been right with God,47800:34:54.130 --> 00:34:58.849and she came to the Lord inthe that just that discussion, that47900:34:58.969 --> 00:35:01.849what you have in your personal contactnumber on there, ultimately led to somebody48000:35:01.849 --> 00:35:06.090given their life to Jeesus, right, and there is nothing better there.48100:35:06.170 --> 00:35:09.239I mean that's why we're there,because the way that you prevent future abortions48200:35:09.440 --> 00:35:15.440is through lives that have committed andbeen convicted by the truth of who Jesus48300:35:15.599 --> 00:35:19.960is and they know they can't killtheir baby after that. Yeah, so48400:35:20.760 --> 00:35:24.590kind of two categories, as youmentioned in this article, of really necessary48500:35:24.630 --> 00:35:30.670information. Yeah, is information togive them before the abortion to try to48600:35:30.710 --> 00:35:34.230convince them not to have the abortion, yes, and then information, if48700:35:34.269 --> 00:35:36.980they've had the abortion, to getto them. Those are two crucial pieces48800:35:37.059 --> 00:35:40.300of information. That's right. Butalso we encourage folks, especially if your48900:35:40.340 --> 00:35:44.739own you know, a public sidewalk, which you always are, but a49000:35:44.860 --> 00:35:49.139public sidewalk this well traveled by otherpeople other than people come to the abortion49100:35:49.219 --> 00:35:52.090clinic like where we're at on thetrope drive. Most people that make it49200:35:52.170 --> 00:35:54.170down to we where we are,and it's vehicle traffic, not really foot49300:35:54.250 --> 00:35:58.449traffic. Right. Most people thatmake it down there they're coming for abortion.49400:35:59.090 --> 00:36:00.969But there's other places, like inManhattan, our teams that are there,49500:36:01.010 --> 00:36:06.199and some of the other cities whereour teams are that there's all kinds49600:36:06.199 --> 00:36:08.119of flip traffic, there's all kindsof people walking by and you want to49700:36:08.159 --> 00:36:13.440hand out all your your literature toreach abortion mind of MOMS to people passing49800:36:13.480 --> 00:36:15.760by. So have some Gospel tracks, Yep, and we love Ray coomforts49900:36:15.800 --> 00:36:21.429Gospel tracks. Living Waterscom. Youcan order whatever track you want to on50000:36:21.510 --> 00:36:27.110their great tracks and it just givesyou the ability to hand somebody Gospel track.50100:36:27.230 --> 00:36:30.829One of the things that can happen, and just to mention this by50200:36:30.909 --> 00:36:35.380the way of warning, is peoplewill come along and I'm not saying you50300:36:35.420 --> 00:36:38.340shouldn't get into an in depth gospeldiscussion with them. If somebody comes and50400:36:38.380 --> 00:36:42.380they're interested in the Gospel, obviouslywe're out there to bring the Gospel,50500:36:42.420 --> 00:36:45.300yeah, but if we can puta track in their hand that shares the50600:36:45.420 --> 00:36:49.530Gospel, it keeps US focused onwhile we're there. You think about it,50700:36:49.570 --> 00:36:52.409because there's a baby about to die. If you're sitting there sharing the50800:36:52.449 --> 00:36:57.170gospel with somebody, and of coursewe understand that a person's eternal soul is50900:36:57.250 --> 00:37:00.289the most important thing right, butit's literally life and death right there at51000:37:00.289 --> 00:37:04.960the abortion Saye. And if you're, you know, in in depth to51100:37:05.159 --> 00:37:08.599our conversation with somebody about the Gospeland there's women walking into the abortion center51200:37:08.719 --> 00:37:13.039that not are not being addressed,I think you failed in what God has51300:37:13.079 --> 00:37:15.909called you to out there. Yeah, so I say hand them a Gospel51400:37:15.989 --> 00:37:19.110track, have your number on theback of it. Hey will have a51500:37:19.150 --> 00:37:22.269discussion about the Gospel. Let's havelunch or something like that someday. Reach51600:37:22.309 --> 00:37:25.429out to me, you know whatever, but at least you're not failing in51700:37:25.590 --> 00:37:30.300your mission to bring the Gospel.You're handing them a gospel track and and51800:37:30.579 --> 00:37:34.699sending them on their way so youcan focus on why you're there. Yeah,51900:37:34.699 --> 00:37:37.380and that's that's kind of the keypoint, is that all of our52000:37:37.460 --> 00:37:39.619brochures, what they do is theydo the talking for us, because you've52100:37:39.619 --> 00:37:44.329got limited time about, so yougot to brochure attract something that's going to52200:37:44.369 --> 00:37:49.170be able to tell them all thosethings that you've been unable to say in52300:37:49.250 --> 00:37:52.929the limited time. Yeah, yeah, another thing that we feel like it's52400:37:52.929 --> 00:37:57.449important. They're not our primary ministry. The abortion workers aren't, right,52500:37:58.170 --> 00:38:01.199but if there's no abortion workers,there's no abortions, and so I do52600:38:01.360 --> 00:38:05.320think that we need to spend sometime ministering to them, and we may52700:38:05.440 --> 00:38:08.519end up doing maybe we should doa whole podcast about ministering to abortion workers52800:38:08.559 --> 00:38:13.550and right how to effectively do that. I think. Not Bragging. It's52900:38:13.590 --> 00:38:15.429by the grace of God, andI could be wrong about this, but53000:38:15.429 --> 00:38:19.670I think I'm correct. I thinkwe've seen more abortion workers quit here in53100:38:19.670 --> 00:38:22.150Charlotte than any other abortion center inthe United I think think that might be53200:38:22.269 --> 00:38:27.030true, because happy Johnson called usand said what is happening in Charlotte,53300:38:27.030 --> 00:38:30.980because there are so many abortion workerssleeping and I think part of it is53400:38:30.139 --> 00:38:36.980we are very targeted and and whenwe can, we call out to every53500:38:37.019 --> 00:38:39.019single abortion worker that goes in andout of that place. Yeah, and53600:38:39.179 --> 00:38:45.449we offered them abortion workercom yeah,and we actually do have a little card53700:38:45.530 --> 00:38:47.369that we can give them as well. Yeah, that's a that's a piece53800:38:47.409 --> 00:38:51.730of literature that we have available,and obviously we're not handing this to the53900:38:51.809 --> 00:38:54.369mom's going into the abortion and wehave this available. Some of our folks.54000:38:54.650 --> 00:38:59.280You do it, others do it. Have like a belly pack,54100:38:59.480 --> 00:39:02.599Yep, or think some of thefolks have like a tool belt or they54200:39:02.679 --> 00:39:06.079had the literature in there. Yeah, and so you know where it's at.54300:39:06.199 --> 00:39:08.239You know what you need to grabwhen you're talking to a person.54400:39:08.320 --> 00:39:12.989You know, I think there's there'sliterature out there that talks about down syndrome54500:39:13.389 --> 00:39:15.750and talks about what it is tohave a child that has down syndrome and54600:39:16.269 --> 00:39:20.550you know what some of the thethings to be concerned about. Obviously you54700:39:20.630 --> 00:39:22.389don't hand that to everybody, butbe good to have that at your fingertips54800:39:22.429 --> 00:39:25.860and hand it out. Yeah,there's the tracks out there about domestic abuse54900:39:25.940 --> 00:39:29.820and things like that. Be Goodto have that if you encounter that situation.55000:39:30.260 --> 00:39:31.619But again, you're not going tohand that to everybody. I do55100:39:31.739 --> 00:39:36.980think it's important that you have somebibles. Have you have a Bible Ready?55200:39:36.980 --> 00:39:39.289If you get in an indepth conversationwith a mom, mom, maybe55300:39:39.369 --> 00:39:43.730she surrenders her life to Jesus onthe sidewalk. Have a Bible, but55400:39:43.809 --> 00:39:45.369I wouldn't hand a Bible to everymom going in. Right, you'll go55500:39:45.489 --> 00:39:49.570broke. Yeah, you'll go broken. Then a lot of it will be55600:39:49.650 --> 00:39:52.960wasted. So I think it's goodto be yeah, be well prepared,55700:39:52.400 --> 00:39:55.760but be strategic about the way thatyou hand out literature. I have these55800:39:55.800 --> 00:40:00.000booklets there from Red Comfort called saveyourself some pain. That's a good one.55900:40:00.039 --> 00:40:02.880Yeah, it's a great little bookletfor new believers, people that just56000:40:04.000 --> 00:40:06.760gave their life to Jesus. AndI'm not going to give that to everybody,56100:40:07.039 --> 00:40:09.150but I will give it to peoplethat I feel like either maybe just56200:40:09.230 --> 00:40:12.869gave their life Jesus right on thesidewalk or, you know, on the56300:40:12.989 --> 00:40:15.309mobile unit. And there's different thingsthat we can get into people's hands.56400:40:15.309 --> 00:40:19.710I have another book that's from recomfort. It's more and death, not just56500:40:19.869 --> 00:40:22.780a Gospel track. It's called whyChristianity? Because we encounter on a regular56600:40:22.780 --> 00:40:27.300basis. I told I've told peoplewho like apologetics and, you know,56700:40:27.460 --> 00:40:31.099debating with people. If you wantto encounter people from every persuasion under the56800:40:31.219 --> 00:40:35.340sun, Yep, go to anabortion clinic. I mean, I've encountered56900:40:35.380 --> 00:40:42.969Buddhist Rostafarians, Islamist, Jovahs,witnesses, any is atheist, of course,57000:40:44.210 --> 00:40:46.570every persuasion under the sun. Igot that little booklet why Christianity?57100:40:46.610 --> 00:40:51.719So when they're trying to argue withme about, you know, Islam or57200:40:51.840 --> 00:40:53.719whatever, this is a booklet thatreally kind of gets to that stuff.57300:40:53.760 --> 00:40:57.800So again, I'm not giving thatthat that out to everybody, but I57400:40:57.880 --> 00:41:01.199am having an available to give rightso folks where I think that's appropriate.57500:41:01.280 --> 00:41:06.269Yeah. Yeah, one other pieceof literature that has been useful if you're57600:41:06.269 --> 00:41:10.030at a facility that does things otherthan abortions, like Plant parenthood, is57700:41:10.510 --> 00:41:17.349low cost community resources that can doeverything plan parenthood does without killing the baby.57800:41:17.469 --> 00:41:22.059Yeah, those are all good,good things to have. Yeah,57900:41:22.179 --> 00:41:24.099absolutely so. Yeah, and youmentioned the belly pack. That's part of58000:41:24.139 --> 00:41:28.380our last segment. Yeah, ofthis. Yeah, let's wrap this up58100:41:28.420 --> 00:41:30.539with this kind of practical thing.We mentioned it when we first started,58200:41:31.099 --> 00:41:36.570that there's some really practical stuff thatwe need to consider. Having good shoes58300:41:36.690 --> 00:41:40.170on as one of those things.You're on a concrete sidewalk for three four58400:41:40.289 --> 00:41:45.010hours, it's good to have agood pair of shoes. Listen, God58500:41:45.130 --> 00:41:50.159is not angry if you span agood hundred hundred fifty on a pair of58600:41:50.280 --> 00:41:53.320shoes. Yeah, because you're goingto be on the sidewalk serving the Lore.58700:41:53.440 --> 00:41:57.599We might, some folks might feela little guilty, you know,58800:41:57.800 --> 00:42:00.960by thirty dollar payer of shoes atWalmart. Wasn't you get what you pay58900:42:00.039 --> 00:42:04.269for and shoes. It's spend somemoney on some good shoes. I do59000:42:04.429 --> 00:42:07.190that. Yeah, making sure thatyou know I can stay out there for59100:42:07.269 --> 00:42:10.230a lengthy amount of time. Yeah, and in the wintertime, warm boots,59200:42:10.309 --> 00:42:15.670warm and selected good, sturdy boots, because you're standing at least well,59300:42:15.739 --> 00:42:21.260usually around three hours, and inthe cold it's really critical. So59400:42:21.380 --> 00:42:24.539in the winter that's not just yourfeet that need to stay warm, but59500:42:25.460 --> 00:42:29.179your fingers. Yeah, we havea lot of people don't know this,59600:42:30.210 --> 00:42:36.210that there are heated gloves and heatedcoats and he did vest and you even59700:42:36.210 --> 00:42:43.329have heated socks. Does so allthose things actually can truly make the difference59800:42:44.010 --> 00:42:46.719for whether you will be on thesidewalk or not. Yeah, and whether59900:42:46.719 --> 00:42:50.920or not you stay on the sidewall, whether you stay well, when you're60000:42:50.960 --> 00:42:52.880on the sidewalk, you can actuallypay attention to why you're there. That's60100:42:52.880 --> 00:42:57.840right, you're thinking the whole timeabout how how frozen your toes are.60200:42:58.239 --> 00:43:00.550Yep, and MOMS are walking intothe abortion center and you're just in misery60300:43:00.909 --> 00:43:04.349and you want to try to havea smile in your face and make yourself60400:43:04.429 --> 00:43:07.909approachable, but you're in misery andit's conveyed on your face. Yeah,60500:43:07.309 --> 00:43:09.309that's not good. Right. So, if there's things that you can do60600:43:09.429 --> 00:43:13.780practically to keep you from being miserable, yeah, whether it be in the60700:43:13.820 --> 00:43:15.659cold or in the hot. Yeah, do those things. Yeah. So60800:43:15.780 --> 00:43:17.940I've got it down to a science. I want you to know. I60900:43:19.579 --> 00:43:23.820know I have an insulated waterproof skirtthat just I can snap on over my61000:43:23.940 --> 00:43:28.730clothes and it goes down to myankles and it protects everything below my waist61100:43:29.050 --> 00:43:31.489from the water. If you havedown, which a lot of people are61200:43:31.489 --> 00:43:36.250smart, down is warm and inthe winter you need down, but down,61300:43:36.369 --> 00:43:38.849if it gets wet, no longerinsulates. You got to have a61400:43:38.929 --> 00:43:44.400waterproof covering for a Poncho or somethingthat's going to cover your down. So61500:43:44.719 --> 00:43:47.679warm, warm stuff in the winter, in the summer, because that's another61600:43:47.679 --> 00:43:52.519challenge, especially here. This ishot summers. Yeah, here in the61700:43:52.639 --> 00:43:55.309south. So I had or avisor keep the sun off of your face.61800:43:55.349 --> 00:44:00.670Yeah, sunglasses. We wanted totalk about sunglasses. Yes, sunglasses.61900:44:00.030 --> 00:44:04.750To me, I don't really wearsunglasses like ever. Even want to62000:44:04.789 --> 00:44:07.469get to the beach. I don'twear just not something I do. But62100:44:07.590 --> 00:44:12.019there's a problem with sunglasses right.Yeah, there is. Now some folks62200:44:12.139 --> 00:44:15.420they always get to have their sunglasseson whatever reason. If there's a medical62300:44:15.460 --> 00:44:17.739reason, we're not telling you don'tsunglasses, but there are reasons why not62400:44:19.099 --> 00:44:23.449to wear sources. And you thinkabout it and think Ray Comfort really touches62500:44:23.530 --> 00:44:27.889on this when he's talking about streetwitnessing. I remember years ago I watch62600:44:27.969 --> 00:44:30.210some videos from him. He talksabout sharing the Gospel, street preaching.62700:44:30.210 --> 00:44:34.610One of the things he said justpractical thing, and I think it obviously62800:44:34.650 --> 00:44:38.360it translates into this as well,is don't wear sunglasses because your eyes are62900:44:38.400 --> 00:44:42.840the windows to your soul. Yep, if you're engaging with people and you63000:44:42.880 --> 00:44:45.559want to them to see that youlove them, you care about them and63100:44:45.639 --> 00:44:47.360you're trying to speak truth to them, they need to be able to see63200:44:47.400 --> 00:44:52.079your eyes. That's right. Andif they don't see your eyes, because63300:44:52.280 --> 00:44:54.429you know you're looking when you're speciallywhen you're doing a one on one conversation63400:44:54.590 --> 00:44:58.550with them. Yeah, when you'relooking into their eyes, they can they63500:44:58.550 --> 00:45:00.590can tell, they can tell whetheror not you're being genuine and you can63600:45:00.630 --> 00:45:04.030look into their eyes and you cantell whether they're not they're telling you the63700:45:04.110 --> 00:45:07.820truth. You think about secret servicepeople. Why do they wear sunglasses?63800:45:07.900 --> 00:45:09.980Besides keeping the sun out of theireyes, but there's another reason. I63900:45:10.059 --> 00:45:15.659think their eyes are darting all overthe place. They're suspicious. That's their64000:45:15.739 --> 00:45:19.980job is to be suspicious. Sotheir eyes are covered so that people don't64100:45:19.980 --> 00:45:22.489identify them and know that they're supposedto be secret. Yeah, so they've64200:45:22.530 --> 00:45:27.610covered the eyes on. I thinkthat that's purposeful. Yeah, absolutely.64300:45:27.769 --> 00:45:30.130Yeah, so, if you wearsunglasses when you're going to engage with people,64400:45:30.329 --> 00:45:32.769take them off, to them off, pop them up on your head,64500:45:32.849 --> 00:45:37.320or whatever you do, because itthis is important. This is important64600:45:37.320 --> 00:45:39.920that you're a human being that wasto relate to another human being, to64700:45:39.960 --> 00:45:43.960share truths with them. Yeah,you want to be as open and as64800:45:44.039 --> 00:45:49.440transparent as possible in sunglasses. Bother, very nature are not transparent. Right,64900:45:49.760 --> 00:45:52.429that's right. In the summer waterwe you may forget about that,65000:45:52.670 --> 00:45:58.110but yeah, and water is important, especially when you're sweating a lot.65100:45:59.269 --> 00:46:02.670I found small personal fans that arechecking and those can be really helped.65200:46:02.710 --> 00:46:07.420Yeah, we've had those that missedand they brass, yeah fan, at65300:46:07.460 --> 00:46:10.860the same time they're actually they workpretty good. So remember we are out65400:46:10.900 --> 00:46:15.460there in all weather, which kindof surprises some of our new volunteers.65500:46:15.500 --> 00:46:17.340One asked me today. Are youout there in a rain? Yes,65600:46:17.500 --> 00:46:21.489we were in it. Out therein a Tornado watch last week. We65700:46:21.769 --> 00:46:23.730killing babies. If it were theexactly. If it's open, we are65800:46:23.769 --> 00:46:29.369there. But rain presents a allkinds of issues. One of them is65900:46:29.889 --> 00:46:32.559when you're handing out literature, ifit's wet, saggy, gross, no66000:46:32.639 --> 00:46:36.440one's going to take it. Yeah, that just is the truth. So66100:46:36.559 --> 00:46:40.079you need, when you're thinking aboutthe rain, obviously an umbrella. But66200:46:40.239 --> 00:46:45.679what I have found is an umbrelladoes not usually keep the literature dry because66300:46:45.719 --> 00:46:47.269you got to hold it way up, like under the umbrella, on top66400:46:47.309 --> 00:46:50.949of your head, basically, orit gets wet. So I have a66500:46:51.070 --> 00:46:57.269waterproof belly pack and that's purposeful.I need our literature to stay dry and66600:46:57.429 --> 00:47:01.380presentable. Something water proof that youcan put the things you carry and that's66700:47:01.420 --> 00:47:05.980not just for the rain, althoughwaterproof. I mine is waterproof for that66800:47:06.059 --> 00:47:09.340purpose, but some sort of something. I think it's harder for men.66900:47:09.420 --> 00:47:15.300You're probably not going to carry apurse, but something that that you can67000:47:15.579 --> 00:47:22.329keep your information. I have lostwomen and potentially lost the life of babies67100:47:22.809 --> 00:47:25.849because I've been digging around looking forinformation I couldn't find. Let me share67200:47:25.889 --> 00:47:30.800something that may people might think I'mweird about, but this is absolutely true.67300:47:30.840 --> 00:47:36.119Yeah, when I go into astore, now I've actually found the67400:47:36.280 --> 00:47:39.480brand and everything that is perfect.When I go into a store, for67500:47:39.719 --> 00:47:43.239to get a new pair of jeans, I bring a piece of literature with67600:47:43.360 --> 00:47:45.550me. Know why? So itgoods. I want to make sure it67700:47:45.630 --> 00:47:50.190fits in the back pocket. NowI found pants. I'm not advertising for67800:47:50.309 --> 00:47:54.070this company, but Coles and theirurban pipeline, I think, is the67900:47:54.070 --> 00:47:58.469name of the brand. Okay,their jeans. Yeah, the perfect the68000:47:59.059 --> 00:48:01.099back pocket is perfect for a pieceof our literature to slip this. Are68100:48:01.179 --> 00:48:05.380Some big pockets, their big pocketsand they're perfect. But I've brought a68200:48:05.420 --> 00:48:07.659piece of literature into the store andslip in the pocket and found out this68300:48:07.780 --> 00:48:12.300is perfect. This. So thisis a man who is prepared. I68400:48:12.699 --> 00:48:15.929love to hear this, because whowould even think on those terms? But68500:48:16.050 --> 00:48:19.690we've been out there so long.You've been out there longer than me.68600:48:19.889 --> 00:48:22.610What, fifteen years, eighteen yearsor something now, and and to think68700:48:22.650 --> 00:48:27.880in terms of and and I doI buy clothes now based upon will this68800:48:28.079 --> 00:48:31.480work on the sidewalk? Yeah,modesty is one of the things I'm thinking.68900:48:31.559 --> 00:48:35.599Sure, and and then the secondthing is I just bought a winter69000:48:35.719 --> 00:48:38.320coat who, just like you,the pockets fit the F litery. Sure,69100:48:38.719 --> 00:48:43.389I'm serious about that. And becauseI ain't wearing no no Dang Bailey69200:48:43.469 --> 00:48:46.230pack. Okay, well, Iam an huge N we're carrying no,69300:48:46.550 --> 00:48:52.110no Dang man purse either. SoI got jeans where I can put the69400:48:52.190 --> 00:48:53.590literature there. Yeah, and whenI've got my rain Jack at on,69500:48:54.030 --> 00:48:59.219it covers, yeah, covers thatthat area of my jeans. I can69600:48:59.300 --> 00:49:01.659just kind of slip back there.Now I want to make sure that I'm69700:49:01.659 --> 00:49:05.380pulling that literature out way before thecar gets to me, so I don't69800:49:05.380 --> 00:49:07.219look like I'm whipping out a gun, or gun exactly. But yeah,69900:49:07.219 --> 00:49:10.210you know, I've got it.They're pretty well protected and pretty well managed,70000:49:10.250 --> 00:49:14.210so I'm not dropping literature everywhere.Yeah, and I can kind of70100:49:14.210 --> 00:49:16.289whip out a piece of literature.Yeah, and and offer it. Yeah,70200:49:16.449 --> 00:49:20.170that's that's good. That's good.I would recommend you don't stick it70300:49:20.250 --> 00:49:22.969down in your pants. I've seenpeople do that that. I don't think70400:49:22.969 --> 00:49:27.440it's wouldn't be not a good laysanitary right now. But so rain,70500:49:27.719 --> 00:49:29.880you're going to kind of rain,you're going to kind of snow. Think70600:49:29.920 --> 00:49:32.559ahead. But for all situations Ithink it is really important to have extra70700:49:32.639 --> 00:49:36.280closed in your car, and Ido. I have extra everything in my70800:49:36.400 --> 00:49:39.710car. Actually, my car isa mess, but I am outfitting not70900:49:39.829 --> 00:49:45.110only myself but off in the othersidewalk cops have not been prepared. Be71000:49:45.269 --> 00:49:49.869prepared for anything, because if youget wet and cold, you need extras.71100:49:49.989 --> 00:49:52.349Yeah, well, this been timesout there.
