RELEASE FLIP BENHAM!

Operation Rescue National is demanding that the city of Lynchburg release its National Director Flip Benham.

Rev. Benham was unjustly sentenced and thrown in jail 21 days ago stemming from a public proclamation held in Lynchburg, Virginia on Nov. 10. Rev. Benham is in the Lynchburg City Jail serving six months of a one-year sentence for misdemeanor trespass. All over this country, attorneys and law firms have called this sentence a travesty. Judge Richard S. Miller did not put Rev. Benham in jail for trespass, but rather jailed him for the Gospel message he brought to the city.

"Lynchburg has something that is very precious and dear to God and the Church of Jesus Christ wants him back!" said Rev. Rusty Thomas National Director of Elijah Ministries. "Our goal in coming is to see this horrible tragedy righteously resolved, our brother Flip released, and the Gospel of Jesus Christ vindicated."

There is a Gentle Revolution happening and it is coming to Lynchburg Virginia!
