from July - September 2002

September 24, 2002

469 babies saved since January 2000!

Tuesday- As the rains poured, 12 saints stood for Jesus during the midnight abortions. (Angela, Karen, Don and his grandson, Mia, Saundra, Carrie, Mary, Les, Daniel, Savanah) 34 babies were killed without mercy, but one baby's life was saved PTL! Moms came from Georgia, Indiana, Missouri, and Illinois.

Wednesday- 23 babies were killed at the murder mill today. By God's grace though, one was given a chance to live. The mom's name was Shantel and she is 17 weeks pregnant.

Thursday- 10 faithful pro-lifers, Nicki, Shelly, Hazel, Kathy, Don, Lynn, Mary, Jeff, Daniel and Savanah, came to the gates of hell as 24 babies were slaughtered. Jeff brought his guitar, playing and singing Amazing Grace with some of the saints. Clients inside the clinic were looking out the windows; you knew it was touching them.

Friday- 2 precious babies left the clinic alive today. Both of the saves talked with the saints who stood in the downpour of rain. There were 29 babies left to die, and one couple turned away without talking to us.

Saturday- 36 babies were killed. Saints came to stand in the gap for the unborn, and we had great church representation from Spirit Life Worship Center and Faith Lutheran Church. 4 babies were saved PTL! Angela gave an ultrasound to one mom, and found out she is 18 weeks pregnant. She also did an interview with Angela. A couple in a white pickup took information from the saints. They were crying, left, came back, went in the clinic, and came back out! Another black couple went inside, but came back out and thanked the saints. 1 young couple went to get the RU486. And still another mom and dad changed their mind about the abortion. Praise God!

Angela dialoged with a German woman, Jeanette. She said at 4-5 weeks, it wasn't a baby. She told Angela "it was just a bunch of hormones." Jeanette is also a med. student. It cost $450 to remove these "Hormones".

A young black man and woman pulled up to the clinic arguing, while the woman was holding up a video in a threatening manner. He didn't want her to go in the clinic, but reluctantly signed the papers. The man came over and sat by the pro-lifers. We talked and prayed with him. As the girl went in she was very agitated, but 5 minutes later she came back out and left without the man. After some conversation with the proclaimers, 2 of them gave him a ride home to East St. Louis, IL..

M.C. /Bridgeport CT writes:

We have such a burden to reach out to those heading down a destructive path. We gave out literature and reasoned warnings. If they turn a deaf ear and don't want to hear, we continue to pray and trust God. We do our part and He does His. We are His vessels and He can use us any way He wants, even though sometimes we don't understand. Jesus pursues the lost.

Luke 19:10 "the Son of Man came to seek and save that which is lost."
2 Peter 3:9, Jesus "is not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance."

Many refused to listen to Jesus' counsel and warnings. Many feel self-sufficient with their possessions as their true security. When Jesus told the rich man: Luke 18:22: "Sell everything you have and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in Heaven. Then come and follow Me." The man was sad, Jesus hurt his feelings. Jesus hit a nerve and the rich man was crushed by the TRUTH. It was truth spoken in love. Jesus challenged him, he did not chase after him to soften His words or take off the sharp edges. He does not chase after people who should know better. In John 6:53 when Jesus was surrounded by many of His followers, He gave a hard message about the real price of discipleship, and they did not like it. Verse 60 says: "On hearing it, many of His disciples said, "This is a hard teaching. Who can accept it?" and in Verse 66 it goes on to say: "From this time many of His disciples turned back and no longer followed Him."

This is exactly what we’re going through in Granite City, IL. at the Hope(less) abortion mill. But, in the storm it will be very easy to separate the sheep from the goats. It’s the storm that helps you determine the caliber of person you’re dealing with. When the day of evil comes, will you be able to STAND?

Jesus did not chase them, He didn't call them back in desperation to soften His statement, He did not beg them to reconsider. If He did it would have demeaned the TRUTH - especially when they should know better. It is not easy being a true Christian. It is not easy to battle evil day in and day out. But we are not soldiers stranded behind enemy lines. We are to take refuge in Jehovah-nissi, the Lord our banner, the banner that guides the soldier. What better Commander-in-Chief could we have? ... King Jesus!

Remember – "God is not unjust; he will not forget your work and the love you have shown him as you have helped his people and continue to help them." Hebrews 6:10

Be encouraged and keep standing in His Holy name ~ Angela

461 babies saved since January 2000!
7 babies adopted! PTL!

Tuesday- deemed conviction day at the abortion mill, saints Shelly, Hazel and Don were standing for Jesus as people passing by made negative comments. 30 babies were killed.

Wednesday- Closed / remembrance of 9-11-01, the terrorist attacks that killed thousands of innocent people, employees took the day off to wave their flags. We held a repentance service, and 18 saints came to fall on their knees to Almighty God and ask forgiveness. The attack on the WTC killed over 3,000 people. Each day American terrorists kill that many or more babies. Only they disguise it as "choice". "Pro-choice? That's a lie! Babies don't choose to die."

Thursday- the midnight abortions took place as 8 saints came and stood in the gap for these babies. 45 babies were killed, but 3 were given life. PTL! Moms came from Iowa, Kentucky, Missouri and Illinois. Officer Connor came to harass Angela about the abortion signs. He asked if she was in charge here and Angela responded "The Lord is in charge!" He said theres a 10ft. Ordinance and we were in violation of it with the signs. He told her to move the signs, and Angela asked if he knew how long those signs have been down here, that they aren't the problem. He said again that she was in violation. Angela asked him to produce the paperwork proving she's in violation, he said he didn't have to! "So you want me to move those signs, I'll move them on the grass," Angela said. "

You treat me right I'll treat you right," he said. Then Officer O'Connor drove over to the hospital guard and had a good laugh. Angela noticed all the cars that are in violation, parking in the yellow or blocking the fire hydrant- in clear view. 1 Timothy 1:8-11

Friday- 13 proclaimers were outside the murder mill, as 38 babies were slaughtered. Moms came from Georgia, Tennessee, Missouri, Illinois and Indiana. We had church representation from Spirit Life Worship Center. Nicki, a surgical OR nurse came to stand with us and gave her testimony. She works at a local hospital and has fixed botched abortions from Hopeless. Rachel and Sandy came to pick up baby supplies, and thats when the hospital guard came over to harass us for being on their property. Daniel rebuked them for letting the abortion clinic clients park on their lot but persecute the Christians that are helping these women and saving babies. Daniel was arrested and taken to jail for disorderly conduct, not trespassing. The police officer told Angela, Mark Benz, CEO of Gateway Regional only wants Daniel and Angela arrested no other pro-lifers. The police officer reluctantly placed the handcuffs on Daniel. As abortion clients were coming out from the mill as they'd just killed their babies, A pro-life saint pointed to Daniel and said, " Just like Jesus died for you this man is going to jail for that baby you just killed." They shamedly walked to their car after taking the literature and Bible. 2 Timothy 1: 8, 9

Saturday- as 42 babies were being killed 40-50 saints came and stood in the gap. Church representation was from Church without Walls and Grace Baptist Church. There were 3 babies saved PTL! Including a 24 week old baby. The young lady came back out and spoke with the gentle Christian warriors. She thanked them for being there and what she heard them say as she laid there on the abortion table was what convicted her and changed her mind. She got up and left when the worker came back and told her to go upstairs, they could still get her in today. Angela gave her an ultrasound to show her a 24-week-old baby boy. After she saw the first picture of her baby she said, how could anyone kill their baby? Angela bought her lunch and gave her some gas money to get back home. She promised to stay in touch and give us an update. Galatians 6:9 "Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up."

Be Encouraged,

Since January 2000, 455 babies have been saved from the Hopeless clinic! 7 babies have been adopted.

Operation Save America was standing for Jesus as a remnant of warriors stormed the gates of the Savvis Center in St. Louis, MO. We confronted 15,000 Promise Keepers with signs, brochures and the truth about abortion and how they need to stand for the unborn. We confronted them just as they were leaving the building for their $69 sack lunch, and into the picturesque view of baby Malachi and our " intolerant" shirts.

Angela Michael stands outside the Hope abortuary holding a recent "Small Victory" thatwas given life. Small Victories has saved 455
babies outside this mill since January 2000. 7 babies have gone up for adoption. But unfortunately they kill 10-13 thousand a year.

Tuesday- Midnight abortions took place as 32 babies were killed.

Wednesday- Although 26 babies were murdered, there was one precious baby saved, whose parents came all the way from Arkansas. A woman tried to attack Angela as soon as the driver pulled onto the abortion clinic lot. She lunged at Angela to grab her throat but Angela had her trusty microphone and tape recorder and put in right in her face and told her "Your'e live on air. If you grab me that's assault and battery." She calmed down real quick and began dialoging with Angela and giving her the same "pro-choice" rhetoric. But Angela asked her "Why must the baby die, why must the baby die." Shelly and Hazel and baby Renee kept watch.

Thursday- Saints stood vigilant while 33 babies died. A woman named "Sandy" going to the hospital made the comment to Angela "I am bringing all 3 of my pregnant daughters to this clinic." Angela responded, "to kill their babies?" She said yes. . .

Angela took her across the street and privately spoke with her. All 3 daughters are pregnant and on "meth." Angela asked where are the fathers of these babies. . on meth too! Angela offered her adoption services, she said she would think about it. Angela promised emotional and monetary help if she wouldn't kill her grandbabies.. She told Angela she didn't have the money right now, she's already paid for 6 abortions for one girl. God have mercy!

The mother and daughter returned next morning outside the abortion clinic and the saints gave her a crib and clothing and the promise of other supplies before a baby boy arrives. She thanked Angela and gave her a hug. She whispered in Angela's ear, "You have to be here very early in the morning to catch these girls going in the mill."

Friday- As about 8 saints stood in the gap for the unborn, 35 babies were slaughtered. Two moms came from Texas. One baby was saved PTL! The mom was 22 weeks along. One woman from Granite City told Angela "No thanks" to the judgement tract the saints hand out- Angela said, "Are you a Christian?" She replied yes. Angela said you and your church should be standing with us. . She replied "Oh no! I am not upsetting the apple cart." And walked away hurriedly. We are the Christian lepers in our Christian community. We are the Christians in a ditch- to which the Levites and Priests cross over to the other side of the road so they don't have to see us. In other words, a "dirty pro-lifer". Such is the life of a pro-life prophet.

Saturday- A prayer service with the saints and prophets of our time on the front lines of this battle. We are the last line of defense for these precious innocents. We held hands and surrounded the front of the abortuary, praising the Lord and asking his mercy. Saints took turns leading in prayer. God's faithful and mighty army of over 100 pro-lifers came to storm the gates of hell in Granite City. We had church representation from Liberty Christian Church, Restoration Christian Church, and Grace Baptist Church, St. Peter & Paul, St. Mary's and God's Bus. Fr. Chris, Deacon Jim, and the former Granite City mayor were also there.

By God's grace 3 babies were saved from the hands of death, but unfortunately 40 babies were painfully suctioned, dismembered, and torn from their mothers wombs. Proverbs 24:12 We, the Body of Jesus Christ must rise up and stand in the gap for the unborn. This is a spiritual battle, good vs. evil. We've had the manual all along, of "how-to"; it's called the Bible, not the Burger King version.

As we approach the 1 year mark of the 911 tragedy, America is still stiffening its neck. Exodus 32:9-10 We don't need patriotism, we need repentance. As the father of our nation, George Washington once said, "No man can be a true patriot in America if he would subvert the Word of God." All of the flag waving and singing of "God Bless America" is not sufficient to replace the truth. Our country doesn't need another flag... WE NEED JESUS!

God will never bless this nation until we atone for the shedding of innocent blood. "When you spread out your hands in prayer, I will hide my eyes from you: yes, even if you offer many prayers, I will not listen. Your hands are full of blood (Isaiah 1:15)." I pray our nation falls on its face, and repents and turns back to the Lord. The prayers from our hearts should be, "Lord, let me not tremble from the disasters, but at your word, I want to hear Your voice in all of this. Cause me to turn wholly to You."

In Jesus Name,
Angela

September 3, 2002

Wed.- A Catholic man said he 'had permission of the church & Oblates Our Lady of the Snows to kill his first grandchild.' Hazel, Shelly, Don, Angela stood in the gap.

Thurs. The mill switched from Midnight abortions to morning abortions, 6 killed in the afternoon. girl from Indiana, Angela & Karen witnessed too.

Fri.- 8 saints stood up for the unborn, including Lisa, a new warrior who is expecting a baby! A grandma gave her testimony of how the signs we had saved her 15 year old daughter from killing her grandbaby. PTL! "Until you see the graphic side of the abortion industry, only then, will you understand the controversy." Nolan, Angela, Herman, Jeff, Deb, Kathy, Bruce, Verna were standing for the babies.

Saturday- OSA leader Flip Benham and assistant director Rusty Thomas came to the abortion mill. They were impressed with the remnant of saints that God is using outside these gates in Granite City. About 40 "dirty" pro-lifers were on the front lines in defense of these little girls and little boys that were being led to the slaughter. 4 came back out alive. There were cars from Kentucky, Indiana, North Carolina, & Iowa. Allison Hile education director and Arthur Triplett, the death camp guard were getting their cheap thrills by chasing with a camera the mentally challenged pro-life saint that was standing with us. He indicated he wanted them to stop it, and she wouldn’t until Angela caught her and verbally rebuked her actions. These are the same people that dismember little boys and girls and dance around the procedure room with their body parts as one former clinic worker told us. God have mercy!

Angela did an interview with twin, nine year old girls, whose hearts were broken over the moms going in there. They spoke out to one mom in particular. Matthew 19:14 Jesus said, "Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these." We had a great service at Restoration Christian Church on Sunday morning, where Pastor Flip Benham, OSA director spoke. After the service, Flip went to across the street and on the corner, witnessed to people who were at a biker’s BBQ. Pastors Sam and Yvonne Bailey graciously hosted us. Remember, "Courage is not the lack of fear, but the willingness to go out and do it inspite of your fear."

423 Babies Saved Since January, 2000

The sign outside the Hope(less) abortion clinic should read, "this abortion mill stays open by permission of the local churches".....all 62 in Granite City IL

After broadcasting the Small Victories radio program on Tuesday, Angela, Daniel, and their kids joined other saints, Jeff, Jason, Tony, Karen, Sandra, Verna, and Les, for the midnight abortions.

A young man in a pickup truck brought a young girl for abortion. As soon as he got out of the truck, the girl locked the doors of the truck and would not let him in. For an hour, he stood outside the pickup truck listening to our pleas, prayers, and the gospel. Angela called in for prayer warriors over the airwaves. Finally, she let him inside the truck, where they sat talking for 15 more mins. The saints began singing God's praises. All of a sudden, the truck's engine started up, and they left the abortion mill! The young girl smiled at the saints. PTL!

Hazel and Shelly stood in the gap for the innocent pre-borns on Wednesday while Daniel and Angela were deposing chief abortionist, Yogendra Shah, and his "butcherette" assistant, Toni Bautsch. Toni hands him the torture devices and tools to dismember and kill these late-term babies.

It must have been,"Have a car seat.... we'll kill your baby" Day at the Hopeless mill. Shelly spoke out against the apathetic and complacent Granitonians who refuse to stand in the gap for their own city and look the other way while the babies were screaming to be saved. Saints also noticed the ratio of black women that come to kill their babies. We're beginning to believe that the leading cause of death in the black community is not aids or cancer.... it's ABORTION.

On Thursday, the good Lord used the saints to save 2 babies. Cars arrived from Indiana and MO.

Daniel stood at the hospital and held a sign reading," Yogendra Shah kills babies at the Hope Clinic" (while he delivers them at Gateway Regional Medical Center). Positive comments from people driving by and going to the hospital, and from workers."Get rid of him," was the comment they made about Yogendra Shah.

Mia, Hunter, and Verna were keeping the vigil for the precious babies, offering the mothers real hope and the gospel of Jesus Christ: Proverbs 24:12 "If you [profess ignorance and] say, Behold, we did not know this, does not He Who weighs and ponders the heart perceive and consider it? And He Who guards your life, does not He know it? And shall not He render to [you and] every man according to his works?"

Saints standing at the gates of hell on Friday were Cathy, Lynn, Nolan, Herman, Jess,Daniel, Angela, and Savanah . Daniel stood in front of the hospital again educating people about their Chief of Staff, Yogendra Shah.. Angela was praying into the "super microphones" the abortion clinic had installed on the corners of their rooftop. She noticed a man talking to Daniel and walked over to see if he needed assistance. Daniel informed her this man was very supportive of the saints and proceeded to share his testimony............. all the while a vulgar ,obnoxious young woman was screaming at Angela because of the signs in front of the abortion mill. "If the truth is so repulsive, then maybe they (abortionists) should stop doing it!".........Abortion is mean!

Dr. Mark from the hospital shared that his daughter recently woke up out of a coma due to a car accident- God has put it on his heart to help us. "He's glad we're rebuking and exposing the abortionist, Shah, in this hospital" - Dr. Mark has taken over the case of a girl who is in the hospital and was going to abort her 26 week old baby. PTL! He walked with us over to the abortuary from his office and declared his loyalty to the preborn and will help any mother who turns away from this abortion mill. He has offered his services (obstetrical) free of charge. PTL! The saints standing were so encouraged! He gave us his cards and some of the saints visited his office.

Small Victory baby, "Michael", came by the mill to say, " hello!" The abortuary employees- Toni Baustch, Clara, Charlie Lang, and another employee parked their vehicles overnite in front of the mill to prevent the Small Victories pregnancy care van from parking in clear site of the mothers entering the killing center. This tells you how effective the ultrasound machine has been! PTL! So what does God do? He turns what the devil ( abortion employees) mean for harm into good! A spot on the street adjacent to the abortion clinic was vacated, and we parked the RV with the big yellow banner advertising "Free Help Available Here" PTL! It was a better spot- the moms could see the pregnancy center on wheels as they pulled onto the lot! HA! The mill has to work very hard nowadays------- they are arriving by 5:30 A.M. Eight moms were already in by 6:30 A.M. from Indiana, Kentucky, Iowa, Missouri, Illinois. 38 babies in all. Gideon's army showed up for the battle - one man accepted the Lord through Rick and Linda praying with him - while the girl he brought killed her baby.

A dog named Marcus was saved from the torrid heat while its irresponsible owner stayed inside the refrigerated abortion clinic helping the girl he brought to end his child's life. Granite City's finest responded in a heartbeat when the call went out that a dog's life was endangered! - Marcus's owner was so grateful that the pro-lifers cared enough about his dog's wellbeing that he verbally rebuked prayer warriors, Karen and Mary, and called Karen a "dawg" in front of the officer responding. The officer told him to, "shut up"... Marcus remained tied to the abortion mill's little tree the rest of the hot morning - so he occupied himself by doing what a dog naturally does. He first watered the thirsty tree, and then he dug up the mulch and most of the remaining plants in the guard cage area. Whew-hoo! What a good dog, Marcus!

The remnant of saints went to the Promise Keepers Conference with good reception. They just missed the Knucklehead Organization of Women - all five of them. They used to hold donut eating vigils outside the Hopeless around the time of the expose of the Jane Doe X III botched abortion last year. They soon faded out along with the heat and lack of pastries.

Remember saints- the story of "Kitty Genovese Syndrome"...... our nation sits idly by while the blood of the innocent is defiling our streets - Kitty was murdered and raped repeatedly over a 45 min. period while the tenants listened to her cries and did nothing.

"All that is necessary for evil to triumph is for good men to do nothing"...

Please join us at the gates of hell to give heaven to these lost and hurting souls. Your presence could make the difference as to whether or not a baby will live or die.

In the meantime, please consider sending a financial donation to Small Victories, P. O. Box 143, Highland, IL 62249.

Together, for the cause,

418 Babies Saved since January, 2000

The sign upon entering the state of Illinois should read: Wecome to Illinois.......known for its open floodgate policy of "Dead Baby Dumping".......instead of picturesque cornfields and skyscrapers.

REMEMBER.......midnight partial-birth abortions are scheduled tonight, Tuesday, Aug. 20, beginning at 1 PM and Small Victories radio program will be re-broadcast tonight at 8 PM

This past week, Small Victories helped 3 women who were referred from other pregnancy resource centers in the area. Not only with baby items, but items were delivered to moms in Edwardsville, Granite City and Cahokia. Small Victories is also looking for funding so one of the pregnant moms can get into lamaze classes @ $30. Another pregnant girl is being threatened with homelessness by her parents if she doesn't "get rid of it". Daniel & Angela may be taking this girl into their own home because of the lack of shelters in the metro area. Please keep these needs in prayer.

On Tuesday, moms arrived from S.C., KS, TN, MS because there is no parental notification law in Illinois. Bro. Jeff and a friend were praying as a man they recognized entered the clinic. The man from TN came back out and covered his license plate with a pillow slip so they wouldn't figure that this was a fully formed, late-term baby being killed.

On Wednesday, moms arrived from PA and SC Bros. Al and Daniel stood in the gap for these innocent pre-borns.

On Thursday, 8 saints came to pray for the lives of the fully-formed pre-borns entering this killing place. Moms arrived from KY, MO and IL wearing MATERNITY SMOCKS!! This indicates how big and how far along in their pregnancies they are. There were 2 saves ........ Praise the Lord!

A mom and her daughter, Tiffany, who walked past us on their way to the hospital encouraged the saints. They were definitely against abortion and even spoke to some girls entering the mill. Pastor Ryan, his 2 sons, Josh & Caleb, and some of his congregation arrived from Litchfield, IL to stand in the gap for these innocent babies. He heard and was encouraged by the Small Victories radio program and wanted to stand with JESUS at these gates of hell. Hallelujah!

On Friday, 33 babies were killed and Angela and daughter, Mia, peaded for their lives. Moms arrived from KS, IN, KY, MO and IL Angela witnessed to Bobbie and her daughter, Brittany, who were walking to the hospital. They were supportive of us and shared a story from 2 mos. ago as she drove by the clinic, a man in front of her yelled at Angela. Bobbie yelled back at him, "It's murder!" She also advised Angela that she shouldn't be there by herself. Angela asked her to pray that God sends more prayer warriors. (Read Psalm 78)

Angela mused about the upcoming Promise Keepers convention."Keepers" will be storming the gates. What gates? Football stadium gates? Once these men get their mountaintop experience, what will they do with it? Will they go back home and store it up in their churches? As Angela stood in the gap at the Hope(less), moms were practically running over her to get into the mill to kill their babies. Where are these warriors?

[NOTE: See the article Promise Keepers - Abortion Not A Gospel Issue here on this web site.]

Angela talked to Tom, whose girlfriend was inside. He exited the clinic in a huff, turned to Angela and said, I admire what you're doing, keep up the good work. They're calling you all kinds of names inside that abortion clinic" Psalm 109:1-6. Angela asked him to bring her out to talk to her. He said he just broke up with her inside after peading with her not to kill his baby. The girl's mother who accompanied her was adamant about "getting rid of this baby and that she was alrady responsible for one child". Tom was willing to raise this baby. He headed home to console his own mother. Angela encouraged him to be there for this girl afterwards that she would need his love and support more than ever. This abortion will haunt her forever. He accepted helpful post-abortive information.

Angela thanked him for his backbone and taking responsibility. Lots of irresponsible men these days are using these women as bathrooms; after they're done using them, they kick them to the curb just like the abortion industry does.

Angela's thoughts are........where is NOM (National Organization of Men)?....... Not NOW (National Organization of Women) or is it National Organization of "'Wimps."

About 50 saints stood in the gap on Saturday and lived out. Proverbs 24:12 Bros. Les and Jeff led us in praise and worship hymns. Michaela and her parents stopped by to tell Angela an the saints good bye as she departed for colege in Ohio. Angela interviewed her one last time. Saints Dennis & Linda, and Judy drove 100 miles to stand in the gap. Their question is, "where are the Granite City churches?" Angela interviewed Fr. Fernando and Brenda & Larry, who drive the God's Bus, an the young man wearing a scripture shirt: John 3:16 (and she did't mean Stone cold Steve Austin). Les, who commented on the Promise Keepers, Jeff and Jonathan, Bro. John's oldest son.

Repetitiously screaming at the death camp guard that they are spiritually dead men walking isn't going to win hearts and change minds. It wilo only make the opposition say, "If that's Christianity, I don't want any of it". Yes, we need to love the enemy enough to tell them the truth, but once is enough. We need to speak the gospel unashamedly. As missionaries for Christ, we will be more acceptable in foreign lands. Remember David Benham, one of Flip's sons, who was persecuted in the Cardinals organization. One day, the minor leagaue coach told him "Benham, can't you just shut up?" Well, we all know what happened. David Benham gave up his baseball career and took up His cross.

"From this day forward, I will make a difference. Jesus, I thank you that you suffered and died for me on the cross to pay for my sins. I will not be ashamed of your name or your gospel. I will look enemies in the eye and love them with your love. I will pray for them no matter what the consequences. I will not quit. Ephesians 6:10" quoted by Angela.

415 Babies saved since January, 2000

FOLLOW-UP FROM LAST WEEK'S MISSOURI PRIMARY ELECTIONS: For those who believe the Bible is the inspired, inerrant word of God, then we know the shedding of innocent blood is an abomination to our LORD, and, as the shirts Flip Benham created say, "Abortion is Murder.......some things are just black and white"........ Abortion is ALWAYS wrong EVERY time. Right? Of the 58 republican candidates who responded to the St. Louis MetroVoice Christian Newspaper questionaire regarding abortion: 36 of them (62%) support abortion in some warm & fuzzy way to justify keeping it legal. 22 of them (38%) stood BOLDLY for JESUS and against the shedding of innocent blood. PTL!

Matthew 7:13-14......."Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it."

Moms began arriving Tuesday at 1 PM for partial-birth abortions. Yogendra Shah, the abortionist, arrived at 3:48. Girls began exiting with the dreaded brown paperbag 10 mins. later. Who is performing these abortions? Angela has learned that a short-lasting, IV drug, Fentamil (spelling?), is used to put the girls into a deep sleep during the procedure. They remember nothing when they wake up.

Bro. Don talked and prayed with Tunisha on Wednesday. She changed her mind about having the abortion and called Small Victories for assistance. Praise the Lord that he was there to help.

3 of Angela's 6 kids followed Yogendra Shah as he drove from the clinic garage to the hospital garage across the street. They surrounded his car and prayed outloud for him. Hunter, age 9, spoke about repentance to him.

Pregnancy Resource Center called Angela for help regarding a husband who had begged his wife, 14 weeks pregnant, not to abort their baby that was scheduled at the Hope. Her description was provided. Bro. Jess saw her enter at 7 AM. Angela spoke to the chauffeur/friend, who was shocked that Small Victories knew of her whereabouts. The saints left at 1:10 PM having never observed her and the friend leaving. Do you think she purposely stayed inside until the saints departed?

Angela noticed a few couples sitting in their cars in the rear lot waiting to enter the abortuary. She parked next to them and counselled them thru open windows. All were receptive.

A sobbing girl with a huge tummy was escorted to the abortuary by a nicely dressed man. Bro. Nolan spoke to "Jonathon" for 20 mins. who told him his girlfriend, "Ramona", was 5 mos. pregnant. Her parents ordered her to "get rid of it." Nolan and Angela prayed with him. He thanked them and accepted helpful information & phone numbers. Nolan spotted them again on Saturday morning returning for the final killing stage of this fully formed baby. God have mercy!

On Saturday, about 50 pro-lifers donned pink & blue "Pro-Life Escort" vests to counter-balance the orange "Pro-Choice Escort" vests. 5 death-corts were present.

Pro-lifer, Cheryl, accompanied by her husband, 4 yr. old, Hannah, and 10 mo. old Sierra, announced she is pregnant with #3. This family is an incredible testimony to the incoming moms intent on ending their pregnancies.

Post-abortive, pro-lifer, Karen, is also an incredible testimony to these incoming moms as she shares her personal experience at this killing factory many years ago. She asked Bro. Don to lead us in prayer for a girl she escorted down "death alley" crying all the way.

God bless Bro. Joe, who made a love donation to Small Victories in order to repair the pregnancy care van, which is stranded in Oklahoma. It houses the very much needed ultra-sound machine.

Another young woman exited the mill with the dreaded brown paperbag. She looked to be very much in distress. Her husband (?) wore a large gold crucifix around his neck. She accepted our helpful information and phone #s. We prayed to hear from her.

We observed another vehicle in the front lot with a rosary hanging from the rearview mirror and a stencil of Mother of Guadelupe on the rear window. We are witnessing a lost generation of people.

Both Saturday "Saves" talked to pro-lifers and took information. THE SAINTS THAT STAND ON THE FRONT LINES AT THIS ABORTION MILL ARE THE LAST LINE OF DEFENSE FOR THESE INNOCENT BABIES. WE HAVE ONLY A MATTER OF A FEW MINUTES TO PLANT SEEDS OF REDEMPTION AND TURN THEIR HEARTS TO CHRIST. IF GOD CAN USE YOU TO SAVE JUST 1 MORE BABY, WOULDN'T IT BE WORTH A FEW MINUTES OF YOUR TIME? WON'T YOU PLEASE JOIN US AT THE GATES OF HELL TO GIVE HEAVEN TO THESE LOST AND HURTING SOULS. If you can't physically be there, please consider sending a financial donation to: Small Victories Ministry, P. O. Box 143, Highland, IL 62249

Remember, when you get up every morning, think about the 4,400 babies that are happily floating around in their mother's wombs every day. Then when you get ready for bed that same night, think about those 4,400 babies who died painful deaths by dismemberment, chemical poisoning, being torn limb from limb or being partially delivered only to have their brains sucked out and valuable organs sold to the highest bidder.

                    164 Babies Killed by abortion at
                    the Hope(less) Clinic for Women in
                     Granite City
                       8 Babies Saved because
                     Believers cared enough to "show
                    up" and stand bold in their faith
                    for the innocent pre-born

It has been hot - hot- hot all week long as many saints stood to proclaim Jesus witnessing to the lost and hurting souls entering the abortuary and to those walking by on the sidewalks. Hundreds of Bibles were offered to passers by. Most residents of Granite City don't even know what goes on behind those purple doors. The name, Hope, is such a gross misleading name of the true activities that occur inside.

On Tuesday, 12 pro-life saints observed that between 7 AM and 9:10 AM, 24 moms were admitted. Yogendra Shah, the abortionist and Chief of Staff of the OB/Gyn Dept. at Regional Hospital (across the street), arrived at 9:10 AM. One hour later, at 10:10 AM, 4 women departed with their dreaded brown paper bags, indicating the evil deed had been done. (The bag contains a sanitary pad for excessive bleeding, antibiotics and a note to call a psychiatrist) QUESTION: Who is performing these abortions? It takes at least 2 hrs. to scrape the womb clean and spend time in recovery.

At the deposition hearing the day before, the Michael's lawyer asked this same question. The representative of Hope Clinic's unequivocable answer was, "The doctor is absolutely the only one who performs abortions."

Abortionist, Al Palmer, also snuck into the mill at 9:30 AM on Friday. Ten minutes after his arrival, girls were leaving with their brown paper bags. QUESTION: Who is performing their abortions? Palmer lives in Maryland Heights where he performs abortions at the Women's Health Care Clinic on McKelvey and the Rock Rd. (another name that deceives the public).

lllinois license plate, "GivLife1" was observed in the front parking lot. Cars transporting moms, who may be as much as 6-9 months pregnant and underaged, came from MO., Tenn, KY, and Indiana on Thursday to take advantage of Illinois' "No Parental Consent Required" law in order to kill their fully formed babies.

God bless pro-lifer, Mary, who brought us water as we melted in the heat. God bless the God Bus, which continues to circle the building giving the saints a place to get in out of the sun and rest their weary bones.

About 80 saints came to stand in the gap for God's "small victories" on Saturday. Fr. Chris and Deacon Jim from Sts. Peter & Paul Church in Collinsville, IL arrived on the scene to gather with the many Catholics who pray the rosary for these moms and their families in crisis. Praise God for these men who lead their church. We need more like them.

Bros. Les & Jeff beqan praying fervently when they observed a couple with a small child park in the front lot and walk into the mill. They opened their eyes 15 mins. later and saw the vehicle had disappeared. This couple had changed their minds. James 5:16 says, "The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much."

These brothers in Christ also relayed a story of how their sheets of praise and worship hymns were literally picked up by the wind and swirled around and carried off - even on a relatively still day.

Precocious 8-year old, Cody, rode his bike over and stood with Angela to hand out Bibles on Wednesday. He testified that he was led to the Lord by his "landlord lady."

Pro-life saint, Karen, and guard, Skinner, walked together up death alley as Karen prayed with him all the way.

The mother of small victory, 3-month old baby Immanual, stopped by to thank the saints for being there 5 months ago when she needed them the most.

A hospital worker told us girls are still being rushed though their emergency room from the abortion clinic. He said, "it's a horrible sight to see how they come through in wheelchairs."

The Hope abortion mill is constantly altering their killing times. Does this say something? Midnight late-term abortions are now being performed every other Tuesday and Thursday. Mill hours are Mon - Sat, 7 AM to 7 PM.

Weather has been torrid, but we need saints standing with us during the weekday hours. Planting seeds and reaching out to these lost souls and saving babies is easier during the week because the escorts (death-corts) are not present.

Many brothers and sisters wear Scripture shirts: Deuteronomy 30:19 "I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore, choose life that both thou and thy seed may live" and Psalm 106:37-38 "Yea, they sacrificed their sons and their daughters unto devils, and shed inocent blood, even the blood of their sons and of their daughters, whom they sacrificed unto the idols of Canaan: and the land was polluted with blood."

LET US HEAR FROM YOU IF YOU ARE WEARING THESE SHIRTS TO CHURCH. ARE YOU RECEIVING ANY RESPONSES? IS YOUR CHURCH PRINTING THIS WEEKLY REPORT IN THEIR SUNDAY BULLETIN? WE NEED TO EDUCATE PEOPLE IN THE PULPIT AS WELL AS THOSE SITTING IN THE PEWS. Remember what Flip says, "Abortion won't end until the Church of Jesus Christ says it will end - not one second sooner." We cannot depend on our political leaders.

Angela was concerned that while they were in Dallas, TX attending the national Operation Save America pro-life event, those left standing in the gap at the gates of hell were being harassed and persecuted for their witness and pleading for the lives of God's precious small victories. She explained the churches were portraying the Church of Jereboam glorifying themselves and building their false altars. While the churches were playing church and feeling good..........innocent babies were dying.

She is asking the saints to think of it this way, "We're in the 4th quarter with 2 minutes left in the game. If we want to win, we have to awake and fight the battle; we won't win this game sitting in the stands watching. If you think this battle with abortion is not about winning and losing, you are dead wrong.

When you get up in the morning, think about the 4,400 babies that are happily floating around in their mother's wombs every day. Then when you get ready for bed that same night, think about those 4,400 babies who died painful deaths by dismemberment, chemical poisoning, being torn limb from limb or being partially delivered only to have their brains sucked out and valuable organs sold to the highest bidder.

Abortion mills all over the country are being closed because people are standing outside these gates of hell proclaiming "Jesus is Lord." Winning is how the killing stops. We must cry out to the church. If the church will stand up, then God will show up. False altars and half-way churches of compromise and convenience are a reproach to Him. Many churches are full of old prophets.......but they will put you into a spiritual grave" I Kings 13. Peter tells us in 2 Peter 1:4......"that the corruption of the world is caused by evil desires."

Little girls are being snatched by child predators to fulfill their lustful desires and insatiable sexual appetite. Pornography is not enough, they will act it out. Perverseness is not born in man; it is learned behavior. We must cry out to the church. While Planned Parenthood covers up this unspeakable abuse and crime against our children, it is all about the $$$. 2 Peter 1:4 "Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust."

Fat nation.......fat churches. We must cry out. Jeremiah 22:3 "Thus saith the LORD, execute ye judgement and righteousness, and deliver the spoiled out of the hand of the oppressor: and do no wrong, do no violence to the stranger, the fatherless, or the widow, neither shed innocent blood in this place" ".....or he will dry up that hand" 1 Kings 13:4 THE SIN OF THE HOUSE OF JEROBOAM.... 1 Kings 13:34

New Information: Small Victories new radio showtime begins today, Tuesday, Aug. 6, at 1 PM on KJSL, 630 AM on your dial. Rev. Flip Benham's sons, will be featured. Replay times are Tues & Sun night at 10 PM, Mon & Wed. at 1 AM, and Fri and 8 PM.

Prayer Requests:
Keep Savanah Michael, Daniel & Angela's 15 yr. old beautiful daughter in prayer for her continued improvement, which is made possible from your many love donations that affords the homeopathic doctor's care.
Keep one of our small victories, baby Hayden, in your prayers. He was saved from abortion and is in the hospital suffering from an infection.
Pray that Skinner, the guard, gets another job somewhere else.

Please join us at the gates of hell to give heaven to the lost souls.

Monday- 10
Tuesday- 32    Midnight abortions
Wednesday- 24
Thursday- 28    3 saves
Friday- 35    1 save
Saturday- 23    2 saves

As we were in Dallas, TX at OSA's National event, the killing machine in Granite City, "Hopeless", was churning out destruction and death.

The churches as usual were portraying the church of Jereboam glorifying themselves and building their false altars. The Christians were shrinking back. Those left standing in the gap at the gates of hell pleading for the lives of these precious ones were being harassed and persecuted for their witness by the death camp guards. While the churches were playing church and feeling good ..babies were dying.

"Wer'e in the fourth quarter saints," There's two minutes left in the game. If we want to win, we have to awake and fight the battle, were not going to win this game sitting in the stands watching. If you think this battle with abortion is not about winning and losing, you are dead wrong. When you get up in the morning think about the 3500 babies being murdered today. Abortion mills all over the country are being closed because people are standing outside these gates of hell proclaiming "Jesus is Lord."

Now is not the time to be shrinking back. We need winners, not martyrs. Winning is how the killing stops "Cry out Church!" "Cry out against it!" & what ever goes against the Spirit of God. We must cry out against it. Even in days of terrible suffering. If the church will stand up.. then God will show up! God is faithful, he will keep his promise. False altars and half-way churches of compromise and convenience are a reproach to Him. Many churches are full of old prophets.. but they will put you in a spiritual grave, 1 Kings Chp. 13. Peter tells us in 2 Peter 1:4 that the corruption of the world is caused by evil desires. Little girls are being snatched by child predators to fulfill their lustful desires and insatisable sexual appetite .Pornography is not enough, they will act it out. Perverseness is not born in man it is learned behavior. We must cry out! while Planned Parenthood covers up this unspeakable abuse and crime against our children. Its all about $. 2 Peter 1:4. Fat nation & fat churches. We must cry out! Jeremiah 22:3 "Or he will dry up that hand" 1 Kings 13:4 - The sin of the house of Jeroboam 1 Kings 13:34

Restoration Church stood with us this past Sat. My "Abortion is Mean" shirt convicted and raised eyebrows at the Women of Faith conference! These women talked about everything(divorce, cancer, ect.) except "abortion" what's wrong with this picture? "Wake up and smell the BLOOD of the innocent!

We've been busy with depositions, R.V., and fair booth. Oh by the way , we still have 8 children at home.. There's a lot of "fans" of the prolife movement.

God Bless!

375 Babies saved since January, 2000!!!

July 1 - 6, 2002 Death Toll
Monday:       6 Killed (Remember, this is a low-killing day because most Mondays are spent tagging & bagging valuable baby body parts/organs from the previous week for sale to medical research laboratories)
Tuesday:       31 Killed
Wednesday:  24 Killed
Thursday:      Closed for the 4th of July Holiday - NO BABIES KILLED
Friday:         35 Killed - 2 saved
Saturday:     18 Killed - 3 saved
                  114 Babies killed by abortion
                     7 Babies saved because faithful Christians cared enough to "show up"

• How hot was it? It was so hot that when Angela squeezed her Bible, which she held under her arm, water came dripping out! The heat goes up inside as well as outside the gates of Hell in Granite City. "And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone where the beast and the false prophet are and shall be tormented day and night forever and ever" Revelation 20:10 We serve a God who answers by fire.
• 60 saints came to stand in the gap on Saturday as 18 precious babies were killed, and 3 were saved by God’s grace. We had hourly prayer and a great praise and worship time led by Jeff and Les. Mary set a wonderful breakfast table.
• A lot of familiar faces we haven’t seen in a while came and stood at the gates. There was representation from Liberty Christian Church and Restoration Christian Church.
• "Clients" were from Tenn. Kentucky, Iowa, Missouri, Indiana, as well as Illinois.
• There were 3 deathscorts, and Yogendra Shah was the abortionist killing these babies.
• The weather was extremely hot this week, and the air conditioning wasn’t working inside this $2 million, state-of-the-art flushatorium abortuary, so workers kept bringing fans in. Angela talked to an Illinois Power worker on Friday about it. He looked Angela up, and gave a lil’ testimony. God is working on his heart; he listens to the daily "death tolls, it’s eye-opening . He encouraged the saints standing in the gap. This unfortunate, but ironic, situation gave us a chance to tell Hope(less) workers and the deathscorts, "You may think it’s hot outside and in that clinic now, but if you don’t repent and turn from your sins, it will be hotter where you’ll spend eternity! "And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought miracles before him, wit which he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast, and them that worshipped his image. These both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone" Rev.19:20
• A man came all the way from Chicago. He heard over the airwaves about "this scandalous place that kills people," and talked with us. He was shocked at its monsterous size and the atrocities that take place behind those purple doors to little babies. He quoted scripture a lot, and thanked us for keeping watch for nine years and promised to return.
• Little children standing for the innocents displayed their sidewalk art with chalk messages for the mommies to read as they entered and eventually left the killing place. Touching phrases: "Jesus loves you", "It’s a baby". "Mommy, I love you!", could be read on the walk surrounding this deathcamp. "But Jesus said, Suffer little children, and forbid them not to come unto me: for of such is the kingdom of heaven". Matthew 19:14
• Angela talked with Tiffany, a young woman who changed her mind from going into the abortion mill. Mary Ann walked her over to the Small Victories pregnancy care van where Angela gave her a Small Victories brochure and a pregnancy test. She scheduled an ultrasound for the following week and thanked us for being there to give her real help and hope. "Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good" Romans 12:21
• Daniel talked with another woman, Lisa, from Cahokia, who couldn’t get help anywhere in Granite City. She came to the Small Victories’ office, where Angela gave her an ultrasound and discovered she is five months pregnant. Angela also gave her baby supplies and other resources and connected her to a Godly church family in the area where she lives and their church to offer some spiritual and emotional support to this mother.

Please educate others by forwarding these weekly reports to others; especially to your church clergy. They need to be educated as much as anyone. America's pulpits have remained silent for too long.

In the meantime, please meet us at the gates of hell to give heaven to the lost and hurting souls that are found there. Call Small Victories at 618+654-5800 to find out what you can do to help save innocent babies from slaughter.

Together, for the cause,
