Regions/HealthPartners and a prayer request

I have been asked what people can do if they want to directly respond to the Regions/HealthPartners issue. Here is a site for information on responding individually: http://savehealthpartners.com/.

Also, please send out special prayer for us because we have a new neighbor in our MWC building. Right down the hall, a Psychic, Palmreader, and Tarot Card office just opened up this week.

Enemy moving in and warfare abounds, but God is greater!

On the Road: Bible Baptist Church

Farmington, MN

Bible Baptist Church has been a pro-life partner of MWC for many years. We enjoy visiting with the folks there and updating them on activities at the Center.

Pastor Tom Yauch is the senior pastor there and sadly, his mother passed on the Saturday before our visit. He still preached a pro-life message, and we had a good time of fellowship with the church.

They are rejoicing that they now have their church building paid off!





Some of the members brought diapers, snowsuits, and formula for the Center, and two full baby bottles were returned to us!

PPH representative helping 'pimp' use underage girls?

This story is . . . interesting. It appears that this representative of Planned Parenthood is helping the 'pimp' use underage women for profit.

Read the article here.

Fetal Lethal Injection Center

Thanks to Baptists for Life's PCC List for information about this “center.”

Judge Rules Health Care Law Is Unconstitutional

Thanks to our friend, Brian Gibson, Pro Life Action Ministries, for pointing out this new development. Brian writes that U.S. District Judge Roger Vinson of Florida found the new health care law unconstitutional. Focusing on the mandate to purchase health insurance as the reason for the law's violation of our rights, the judge invalidated the entirety of the law. The health care law would be the greatest expansion of abortion in U.S. history, funding abortion and organizations that commit abortions, such as Planned Parenthood, with outrageous amounts of federal money. This law also sets up the future for rationing and denial of care based on age or usefulness to society. More on the story here.

Keep Praying!

On the Road: Family Baptist

We had a great time with Family Baptist Church on Sunday morning. I was able to share a PURITY message with the ladies and teens in Sunday School and also our powerpoint presentation [here] about the lies of abortion and the truth of God’s Word. Thanks to my friend, Joshua MacLeod at Watermelon Ministries for the inspiration for this presentation. He gave me permission to take off on his hopebooklet.com using our own pictures.

Please pray for Family Baptist. They are located in the heart of north Minneapolis, seeking to have an impact for the Lord. Pastor Ormiston preached a message on Ambition (The Right Kind). You can listen to the message here. It should be posted soon, and there are lots of other great messages there for you to be encouraged by. What a blessing!
