Prayer Request: Montana Plane Crash

Please pray for this family:

Lisa Stiefken, executive director of The Pregnancy Resource Center in San Bernardino, CA, wrote yesterday to alert Baptists for Life to an abortion connection with the Montana plane crash victims. Two of the women killed were daughters of Bud Feldkamp; their husbands were his sons-in-law; five of the children were his grandchildren. Who is Bud Feldkamp? He’s a dentist who bought out Edward Allred’s abortion chain – Family Planning Associates, the largest private abortion provider in Southern California. (Allred developed the saline abortion method.)

Lisa says that some “pro-life” folks are talking about this terrible tragedy as though the doctor deserved this to happen: “While on the surface this may appear to be so, we who know God know He is not performance-based, and that Jesus died for the vilest of sinners. Otherwise I would not be sitting here in this office writing this email. We ask people to pray that the remaining family will see God in their pain, and will open their hearts to Him. I can’t imagine losing two of my kids and five grandkids in one fell swoop. This kind of pain is incomprehensible.” Please join Lisa in holding this family up before the Lord.

Lisa also says, “We had one abortionist who worked for that clinic for 33 years just resign this past December. He struck up a friendship with my husband who has been a fulltime sidewalk counselor for nearly 10 years. So, God is on the move and then we see this happen. I can’t help but think it is all related.”
