LLM Ministry Update - Babies Saved & China Mission
June 27, 2009
Our Father is faithful and more than able to use us if we make ourselves available. I'm always amazed to see Him at work in the hearts and minds of those we minister to each day at the abortion clinics in Richmond. Some days are hard when it seems that you are just casting your pearls to the swine. Other days you see great things happening. The important thing is to be there, since you don't know what will happen today until you show up.

UPDATE on Faithful Soldier School of Evangelism Arrests
June 21, 2009
(a note from FSSOE)
Brethren,
Great news! A Grand Jury renderd a decision this week after hearing evidence presented by the prosecution against Dan Pollion - insufficient evidence to indict! For those who are unaware, a grand jury is like a regular jury, though they hear only from the prosecution. They then render either a decision to indict which leads to a full jury trial or they render insufficient evidence and no indictment. These are generally one-sided affairs as there is no defense given, the rule of thumb is that if a prosecutor cannot convince a grand jury then their case is awfully weak and charges are usually dropped. This is exactly what happened with Dan! We had two Sinclair College students, unassociated with us, testify on Dans behalf that there was no punch thrown and no resistance. The arresting officer and an additional witness on his behalf, a young student who happens to be going through the school security training program on his way to becoming a Sinclair College Officer, had conflicting stories of what happened. Praise God! Truth has prevailed!
This bodes well for the three of us who have trials coming up in what looks like will be the first week of October. Please keep us in prayer as we prepare for that - Caleb Green is facing trespassing and disorderly conduct misdemeanor charges, Candace Knapscheaffer is facing a misdemeanor trespass charge, and I am facing a misdemeanor trespass charge. No charges have been filed against Katie Carroll, the fifth member of our group arrested.

49 Million to Five
June 04, 2009
In the wake of the shooting of late-term abortionist George Tiller, President Barack Obama sent out a welcome message that this nation would not tolerate attacks on pro-lifers or any other Americans because of their religion or beliefs.
Ha ha! Just kidding. That was the lead sentence -- with minor edits -- of a New York Times editorial warning about theoretical hate crimes against Muslims published eight months after 9/11. Can pro-lifers get a hate crimes bill passed and oceans of ink devoted to assuring Americans that "most pro-lifers are peaceful"?
For years, we've had to hear about the grave threat that Americans might overreact to a terrorist attack committed by 19 Muslims shouting "Allahu akbar" as they flew commercial jets into American skyscrapers. That would be the equivalent of 19 pro-lifers shouting "Abortion kills a beating heart!" as they gunned down thousands of innocent citizens in Wichita, Kan.
Why aren't liberals rushing to assure us this time that "most pro-lifers are peaceful"? Unlike Muslims, pro-lifers actually are peaceful.
According to recent polling, a majority of Americans oppose abortion -- which is consistent with liberals' hysterical refusal to allow us to vote on the subject. In a country with approximately 150 million pro-lifers, five abortionists have been killed since Roe v. Wade.
In that same 36 years, more than 49 million babies have been killed by abortionists. Let's recap that halftime score, sports fans: 49 million to five.
Meanwhile, fewer than 2 million Muslims live in America and, while Muslims are less murderous than abortionists, I'm fairly certain they've killed more than five people in the United States in the last 36 years. For some reason, the number "3,000" keeps popping into my head.
So in a country that is more than 50 percent pro-life -- and 80 percent opposed to the late-term abortions of the sort performed by Tiller -- only five abortionists have been killed. And in a country that is less than 0.5 percent Muslim, several dozen Muslims have killed thousands of Americans.
But the killing of about one abortionist per decade leads liberals to condemn the entire pro-life movement as "domestic terrorists." At least liberals have finally found some terrorists they'd like to send to Guantanamo.
Tiller bragged about performing 60,000 abortions, including abortions of viable babies, able to survive outside the mother's womb. He made millions of dollars performing late-term abortions so gruesome that only two other abortionists -- not a squeamish bunch -- in the entire country would perform them.
Kansas law allows late-term abortions only to save the mother's life or to prevent "irreversible physical damage" to the mother. But Tiller was more than happy to kill viable babies, provided the mothers: (1) forked over $5,000; and (2) mentioned "substantial and irreversible conditions," which, in Tiller's view, apparently included not being able to go to concerts or rodeos or being "temporarily depressed" on account of their pregnancies.
In return for blood money from Tiller's profitable abattoir, Democrats ran a political protection racket for the late-term abortionist.
In 1997, The Washington Post reported that Tiller attended one of Bill Clinton's White House coffees for major campaign contributors. In addition to a $25,000 donation to Clinton, Tiller wanted to thank him personally for 30 months of U.S. Marshals' protection paid for by the U.S. taxpayer.
Kansas Democrats who received hundreds of thousands of campaign dollars from Tiller repeatedly intervened to block any interference with Tiller's abortion mill.
Kathleen Sebelius, who was the governor of Kansas until Obama made her Health and Human Services Secretary, received hundreds of thousands of campaign dollars from Tiller. Sebelius vetoed one bill restricting late-term abortions and another one that would have required Tiller to turn over his records pertaining to "substantial and irreversible conditions" justifying his late-term abortions.
Kansas Attorney General Paul Morrison also got elected with the help of Tiller's blood money, replacing a Republican attorney general who was in the middle of an investigation of Tiller for various crimes including his failure to report statutory rapes, despite performing abortions on pregnant girls as young as 11.
But soon after Morrison replaced the Republican attorney general, the charges against Tiller were reduced and, in short order, he was acquitted of a few misdemeanors. In what is a not uncommon cost of doing business with Democrats, Morrison is now gone, having been forced to resign when his mistress charged him with sexual harassment and corruption.
Tiller was protected not only by a praetorian guard of elected Democrats, but also by the protective coloration of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America -- coincidentally, the same church belonged to by Tiller's fellow Wichita executioner, the BTK killer.
The official Web page of the ELCA instructs: "A developing life in the womb does not have an absolute right to be born." As long as we're deciding who does and doesn't have an "absolute right to be born," who's to say late-term abortionists have an "absolute right" to live?
I wouldn't kill an abortionist myself, but I wouldn't want to impose my moral values on others. No one is for shooting abortionists. But how will criminalizing men making difficult, often tragic, decisions be an effective means of achieving the goal of reducing the shootings of abortionists?
Following the moral precepts of liberals, I believe the correct position is: If you don't believe in shooting abortionists, then don't shoot one.

January 2009 to Present - Partial List of Babies Saved Due to Sidewalk Counseling in Richmond Virginia
May 27, 2009
Babies are saved when Christians act like Christians. Get involved. Contact Life and Liberty Ministries at 804-492-9216 or lifeandliberty@juno.com
June 24, 2009 As with any other morning at the abortion clinic, you just don't know what is in store. On this morning, I was joined by Sam, little missionary Judah, Lindsey, Gabriel, Faithful and Naomi.
I preached in front as Sam and Lindsey covered the driveway to the clinic. Two abortion bound women arrived and took literature from Sam. The woman said, "my mind is made up" as she passed. Once inside the clinic she read the literature to her husband over the cell phone. They both came to clearly see that it was wrong to kill their child and her husband told her not to do it. She came out and spoke at length with Sam and Lindsey. She then reentered the clinic to talk to her friend who was also scheduled to have her child killed. Her friend also decided to let her child live!
June 12, 2009 Baby saved at RMCW. Testimony by Lauren Tyler - "A very great blessing: today at the Richmond abortion mill, I talked with a few ladies, one of which was going in for an abortion, but did not even know that the "procedure" killed the baby and tore him apart. After she took the information we offer she asked me why we called it murder, and when I explained she said "Thank you" and left. Bless the Lord for using such a weak vessel as I for His glory and purpose."
May 27, 2009 One baby saved at RMCW. I spoke with a girl named Lisa as she arrived to have her baby killed. Eventually she left without the abortion. She said that she felt that God was telling her not to do it through our intervention.
May 19, 2009 Two babies saved at RMCW.
May 16,2009 Two babies saved at RMCW. Paul was ministering.
May 12, 2009 Today a car drove into the abortion clinic parking lot with a couple, an older man and a baby girl. Paul and Mary spoke to both of the men as they waited outside of the abortuary. The pregnant woman walked back outside and sat in the car for a while with the windows open. I preached truth to the men and woman, challenging them to do the right thing. As the woman walked back toward the clinic, Mary told her not to go back inside unless she was just going to tell them that she was leaving. She came right back out and got into the car again. As the family pulled past us, the younger man said that the woman had changed her mind and wasn't going to abort her baby. They all seemed greatly relieved. Mary gave the mother a gift bag for the baby who had escaped death.
May 1, 2009 Two couples left RMCW before the killing started. One couple stopped and told Diana and Paul that they had changed their mind.
April 17, 2009 Baby saved at RMCW. Diane talked with a young man named Dave. His girlfriend was there for an ultrasound but said they were abortion minded. After talking with Diane, he decided not to consider abortion. Paul shared the Gospel with him. He entered the clinic and after the ultrasound was completed they left. Baby intact!
April 7, 2009 We were blessed to see at least one baby saved from death at RMCW. After Sidewalk Counselors spoke with the abortion bound husband and wife, they changed their mind and decided to let their child live! Initially, the wife was set on having her baby killed while the husband was receptive to our counsel and literature. After some time in the abortuary and discussing the matter with each other, they came back out to speak more with the counselors. By the time they left, they were committed to having the baby.
March 11, 2009 Two babies were saved at RMCW.
March 6, 2009 A baby was saved from death at RMCW. Paul, Mary and Diana were on hand.
March 4, 2009 A baby was saved at RMCW. We spoke to the couple as they arrived at RMCW and they took our literature. The father of the child talked at length to the cSidewalk Counselors even after the mother went inside. After a while they came back out and told us that they were not going to have the abortion and were "leaving with their baby"
February 27, 2009 Baby saved at RMCW. Diane ministered to a Hispanic woman as she approached the mill. She left without killing her baby.
February 25, 2009 Baby saved at RMCW. I spoke to a woman as she approached RMCW. She was pregnant and was referred to this abortuary. I spoke with her at length and in the end, she left without going in.
February 12, 2009 Baby saved at RMCW. I approached Kimberly as she tried to enter the front door of the abortuary. She took my literature and looked through it as I spoke briefly to her. She then walked around the mill and Mary spoke at length to her. She entered the clinic and shortly thereafter sh came back out and told Mary that she wouldn't kill her baby. Mary shared the Gospel and prayed with her. She left with a gift for her baby (from Mary).
January 27, 2009 Baby saved at RMCW.
January 7, 2009 Three babies saved at RMCW.

28 Days on the Pill
May 22, 2009
Friends of LLM,
I was recently sent a great DVD to review by its producers. It is called "28 Days on the Pill". For years LLM has been educating people about the abortifacient nature of the birth control pill. This 45 minute DVD does an outstanding job revealing the truth behind the BCP controversy. I encourage you to buy a copy for yourself to be equipped to answer questions surrounding this life and death issue.

China Missions Report and Plans to Head Back Again
May 11, 2009
HalleluYah for a great ministry trip!
We will never know (this side of eternity) how much impact was made during our time in China. Let's continue to pray for the lost and for workers to water the seed sown.
So what's next?
I'm Praying about the possibility of taking another team to China in the Fall.

Ni-hao (Hello) From Peng Yang
May 01, 2009
All has been going well with my team (myself and my son Christian). The towns we have been visiting haven't seen Westerners before so we cause a bit of a stir just walking down the street. It's fun to watch the responses of small children who stop in their tracks when they see us and quickly look for the shortest path to get out of our path. We are in Peng Yang and will be dropping Gospel literature door-to-door overnight. Tomorrow we will travel to one more town for another literature drop and then catch a train to Lanzhou to meet up with the other three teams. From there we will travel by train back to Beijing (27 hour ride +/-).
Please lift up our teams for the two remaining nights of street work. Pray that the Gospel seed that has been cast out will fall on and take root in fertile ground.
We so much appreciate your prayer.
For China and the Savoir who shed His blood for her,
Dennis Green
Udate from one of the China Teams
April 29, 2009
Dear Friends,
Please remember us to Father. We have had a few problems. We did not get the opportunity to speak at the school, as we had hoped. The headmaster said it could cause an int'l incident. I was very disappointed. But Father knows best! We were resting in our room, and received a knock at the door. It was some of our new teenaged friends. They invited us to visit the home of one girl and her father.
We were so honored to go to this home. It looked so simple on the outside, but was quite nicely decorated and furnished on the inside, although it only had three main rooms. The girl's father could not speak any English. Her mother was out of town visiting relatives. The dad was such a gracious host, as he served us a dinner of huge homemade rolls and kettle roasted potatoes. We shared with all of them as best as we could. The teens spoke English, so we talked with them. We shared by a phrase book with the dad. The family is Muslim, and one of the teens nominal Buddhist. WE gave them each a booklet, and sang them some good songs, including "Joy to the World". Keep talking to Father about them. We parted with affectionate farewells, and exchanged e-mail addresses.
We were privileged to watch a wonderful celebration of traditional folk dancing that afternoon. They were celebrating the opening of a local brewery. We really enjoyed the colorful costumes and Chinese dances and music.
The next town we went to was not successful., The local officials said that we had to have a permit to visit the town and province. We had to stay in the hotel and leave the next morning.
We rode by bus to the current town we are in. Please remember us for open doors today and all the next week. There don't seem to be any problems here, so ask Father to show us who to talk to and what to say.
Blessings,
A. F.
Notes From China
April 26, 2009
Here are a couple notes from our China Team members. Please continue to lift us up to the Father.
-------------------------------- ----------------------------------- -
We are so excited about what is happening here! We took a bus from our last town and arrived in the new one yesterday. We were able to give a few gifts on the bus, and in the last town.
When we got to town we went to drop off dirty laundry and were quite the show! I guess they want to know what American laundry looks like! We have to get used to being watched and crowded upon, and have a sense of humor.
Later we were shopping for a few items and encountered a 17 year old student "Lu" who was eager to speak English with us. We chatted with him a little and said goodbye to finish our shopping. We spent the next few hours at the hotel, resting and sharing together with Father. As we were doing that, we received a knock on our door! Guess who it was? It was "Lu" with 2 girls from his school. He had searched at different hotels until he found us! We were overjoyed to go down into the lobby and talk them for an hour or two. Two of them are Hui Muslims and one Han nominal Buddhist. They were so friendly! The girls held our hands, considering us as dear friends, as we took a walk later. Lu is trying to arrange with his English teacher to have us come talk talk with the students in one of the classes later today. We are hoping for this and many open doors. What a revelation three and eight I ask for.
The previous day we had such special times of interaction with people. Just simple things, without many words, but gifts of time, and connection that transcends language barriers. We stopped by a music store as they were getting ready to close. We motioned that Cori could play the violin and asked to come in. They had some unusual traditional Chinese instruments hanging on the wall, and I asked the young man if he could play them. He could not, but they summoned a man from upstairs, and he played this 2 stringed, long necked instrument with a small cylindrical base. I was so touched! I felt that this was a precious gift, that he would share his talent as a gift to the foreign visitors. Cori played a song for them on their violin.
Then we went into a tiny family-run restaurant for dinner. There were a 13 yr old and 16 year old girl there making paper birds (Origami). I asked the 16 year old to show me how to make one. (I had done Origami with my oldest sister when I was young.) I went over to her table and we sat there making flapping cranes from colorful advertising pages. We had a delicious dinner with so much food. The humble man and woman who ran the restaurant, with their two children were so gracious, kind and giving. We went away blessed by their humble and generous hospitality. We treasure these interactions as a bridge of the love of our Father.
Thank you for all of your thoughts and best wishes. Keep on! We are so touched for all of the many people of China!
A.F.

Dear Prayer Partners,
It seems so much happens every day we are in China, I don't know what to write in the little time I have at the internet cafe, or how much is wise to write from here by email. I hope to type out my journal for whoever is interested after I get home. We have had an amazing time since my last letter. It seems that our steps are guided and opportunities are strewn in our path. You are praying and we are seeing the answers on the other side of the world. What an awesome and priveledged place to be!
On Friday morning we left Lanzhou and traveled by train to Zhongning, about a 7 hour trip. We arrived in a strange town surrounded by strange people who spoke a strange language. At least there were two of us. We use our phrase books a lot to communicate here, and we got the message across that we want a hotel. We were also assigned to visit a Buddhist monastery near this city, and in the course of things and man and his wife (?) took us to see the monastery and then to a nice hotel. The next day we started down the street, hoping to find someone who could speak English, and hoping to find the bus station where we could buy tickets to leave the next day.
We walked to the south side of town, then we saw a place with a sign that said in English, "Westerners Travelers Association." Ah, we thought, here surely we can find someone who speaks English. It turned out that no one there could speak English, but they called in an English teacher from down the street to translate for us. We were not too interested in any of there tourist attractions - all of them were out of town a ways - but then the teacher invited us to visit her school. So we had a very interesting and worthwhile day talking with children, some of whom had probably never had a chance to try out their English on a Westerner before. We ate lunch with 7 of the English teachers, who wanted to spend as much time with us as they could to prctice their English.
This morning we left Zhongning by bus and arrived in Xiji shortly after noon. On the same bus as we was an English teacher from a middle school (a boarding school) that is located about 15 km from Xiji. He was also happy to practice his English and helped us make reservations in a decent hotel before he had to rush off to get to work on time. He said something about us coming to his school before he left, and gave us his email and phone number, so I am waiting right now for an email answer from him. If we do not get a response in time we will probably assume that is not the Plan for this town.
We took a walk this afternoon, and when we got back their was a young lady waiting for us who speaks fairly good English, and was delighted to be able to practice it with native English speakers. Her dream is to be a translator, and she would love to be our tour guide around the city tomorrow. So we agreed to meet her at 8:00 tomorrow morning and let her be our translator.
I feel like I am writing too many of the trivial facts without the really important details. But many of those will have to wait until I get home. For now I can just say that some precious seed has been sown that may through your continued prayers have eternal results, and so many still lack even the first crumb of living bread. I wish I could convey to you the burden I feel.
Thanks to each one who took the time to write me. It is so encouraging to read my emails and feel that connection to each of you. May God bless each one.

Americans Denounced As Terrorists While Criminals Embraced
April 11, 2009
(Don't think that this is a hoax. Active Christians need to be aware that they are being named by the Federal Government as being potential domestic terrorists.
How do I know this?
LLM has been specifically named by Homeland Security as being a terrorist threat in the recently released "2009 Virginia Terrorism Threat Assessment", produced by the Virginia Fusion Center.
The Gospel and pro-life messages are perceived as dangerous to a government that hates and opposes Biblical Truth. We live in a day when you must be sure to seek out the truth before you quickly believe statements being made against fellow Christians. Lies about our Ministry are being spread through the government report and we have been characterized as being something that we are not. This is a similar tactic that is used against faithful Christians in Socialist nations were they have be slandered and labeled as criminals in an attempt to silence them.
What will be LLM's response? We will continue to uncompromisingly stand for and spread YHWH's truth.
Let hell and her minions rage.
Isaiah stated in Is. 58:1, "Cry aloud, spare not, lift up thy voice like a trumpet, and show my people their transgression, and the house of Jacob their sins."
Ezekiel 22:2 states, "Now, thou son of man, wilt thou judge, wilt thou judge the bloody city? yea, thou shalt shew her all her abominations."

Paul Joseph Watson
While federal agencies across the country write dossiers on how some of the most patriotic people in America are terrorists and criminals, the Obama administration is set to embark on a push to legalize the estimated 20 million immigrants who have already broken the law by entering the country illegally.
The New York Times reports today that Obama is set to launch “a plan to make legal status possible for an estimated 12 million illegal immigrants”. The real number of illegal immigrants in America is estimated at around the 20 million mark.
But forgive us for pointing out that illegal immigrants, whether they are white, black, brown, or pink with polka dots, are criminals who have broken the law by entering the country illegally - no doubt that Obama kool-aid drinking liberal blogs will now claim that the mere mention of such a thought crime means we are virulently racist and have legions of cop-killing followers.
Indeed, it’s perfectly reasonable for the government to reward criminals who have already broken the laws of the land while training police forces across the nation that American citizens, of whatever race or color, are a threat to society because they have a political bumper sticker, support a third party candidate or are somewhat knowledgeable about the Constitution and the Bill of Rights.
The infamous MIAC report has now been superceded by a new document, The 2009 Virginia Terrorism Threat Assessment, produced by the Virginia Fusion Center.
The report smears anyone who is “anti-government,” “anti-abortion,” as potential terrorists, equates people who enjoy rifle shooting practice and hunting with terrorists, and demonizes the use of the Internet and websites like You Tube, Fark and Slashdot as terrorist tools. The use of “e-protests” is also talked about in the context of terrorism.
The document also discusses “special interest groups” who “incorporate a political message” in its section about domestic terrorists, which could be defined as any mildly political organization whatsoever. Despite the report listing political groups that it admits do not espouse violence nor have ever engaged in violence, it defines being “confrontational during demonstrations” within the context of domestic terrorism.
The report also identifies people who identify themselves as “sovereign citizens” and carry documents proclaiming their status as sovereign citizens, as domestic terrorists and links them with the 1993 bombing of the World Trade Center.
SInce the Virginia Terrorism Threat Assessment doesn’t stretch as far as to equate a sitting member of Congress with terrorists, it might not go the same way as the MIAC report, where it should, and end up in the trash can.
However, it’s yet another clear indication that the government is completely out of control and desperate to send a chill down the spine of millions more Americans who are thinking of joining the burgeoning liberty movement, by smearing members of peaceable political movements as criminals and potentially violent terrorists, while equating them with racist extremists.
Meanwhile, the tens of millions of real criminals who have already broken the law by entering the country illegally are not even mentioned in the “Threat Assessment” as being a threat - and are in fact set to be rewarded by the government with legal status and all the privileges that go with it.
Baby Saved!!

Initially, the wife was set on having her baby killed while the husband was receptive to our counsel and literature. After some time in the abortuary and discussing the matter with each other, they came back out to speak more with the counselors. By the time they left, they were committed to having the baby.
All praise to the Father!!
