If a picture is worth a thousand words, these Youtube offerings express volumes that could be written to report the great and miraculous event, which took place in Sin City, Las Vegas, NV. Suffice it to say that all our prayers and fasting were seen and answered from on high. It was as if the Lord granted us Carte Blanche to go where we wanted to go and do what we wanted to do in His service. No man was allowed to hinder the vision and mission.
Quite frankly, with the Obama debacle, we were expecting fierce opposition and increased persecution. Since his inauguration the enemies of the cross have become more brazen in their open hostility against Biblical Christianity. To our utter amazement, however, we experienced quite the opposite. The city that was built upon corruption, vice, greed, immorality, and graft, received us like a breath of fresh air. Perhaps righteousness, holiness, justice, and truth is so foreign to their normal experience, they viewed us as a novel commodity. Whatever, the reason, the Gospel of the Kingdom invaded the city and shattered much darkness.
Souls came to saving faith, families were spared the horrors of abortion, abortion mills shut down on occasions, the Word was preached publically with passion and boldness, churches were mobolized, and the local OSA leadership are more inspired and equipped to continue the Lord's work in Vegas.

Letter of Commendation to Las Vegas Police
For the first time in OR/OSA history, we were moved to write a letter of commendation to the Las Vegas police department. They went above and beyond the call of duty to ensure the ministry of proximity was defended in their city.
Open Letter to the Las Vegas Police Department
To Whom It May Concern,
The Lord richly bless you! As representatives of Operation Save America, we desire to take the time to commend the entire police department of Las Vegas and the different authorities responsible for your professional handling of our national event.
We have been in the battle for the souls of men, the lives of the precious preborn children, and the future of our nation for a couple of decades. We have dealt with several police departments throughout America during this expanse of time. We have experienced the good, the bad, and the ugly as we have attempted to give voice to the voiceless and to defend the defenseless.
With one accord, we can, without equivocation, state that your department is absolutely the finest law enforcement agency we have ever had the privilege to negotiate with. Your officers were courteous, professional, and were zealous to protect our rights to peaceably assemble and redress the grievance of abortion in the land of the free and the home of the brave.
We offer to your department our heartfelt thanks for all that you did to ensure the safety of the public and to defend the ministry of proximity at the places that harm families and destroy children in the womb.
We know it is a cliché to designate local police departments as their city's finest. In the case of your department, we whole-heartedly agree this designation is proper and fitting. May our Lord protect you and bless you as you attempt to protect and serve, in many cases an ungrateful public. In our case, however, please know that we are thankful for your service.
IN KING JESUS' SERVICE,
Rev. Flip Benham
National Director of Operation Save America
Rev. Rusty Lee Thomas
Assistant Director of Operation Save America
Chet Gallagher
Las Vegas Leader of Operation Save America
P.S. We pray soon, that the laws of our nation will change and you can finally arrest and prosecute the guilty parties associated with the American Holocaust.
Abortion Matrix
Before our missions trip to Vegas, I was approached by Eric Holmberg, who is an outstanding producer of Christian videos. He asked if Kendra and I would be willing to collaborate with him on his newest venture. He is producing a sequel to the powerful film, The Massacre of Innocence. It is this particular film the Lord used to break my heart, open my eyes, and recruit me into the battle against the culture of death many years ago.
While in Vegas, we had the opportunity to be filmed and introduce the sequel. The new film will be called The Abortion Matrix. Drawing heavily from Kendra's research, Eric will expose to a greater degree, the connection between abortion and feminist spirituality, witchcraft, and the demonic realm. This even more powerful sequel will prayerfully reproduce my testimony in the lives of many, who view this explosive new film. Please keep this project in prayer. It will be intense as the demonic realm is uncovered and exposed. I'll keep you updated on its progress.
"It was the fall of 1988 when the Lord began to convict me about the sick state of the church, the corruption of our culture, and the demise of America. At that time, I was a pastor in St. Petersburg, FL. Though I was a preacher of righteousness and spoke out against the burning issues of the day, I still was not personally involved in the cultural battle for the soul of America.
That all changed on a fateful day when a good pastor friend of mine, Franco Gennaro, from Tampa, Florida handed me a video tape and encouraged me to watch it. The name of the tape was called "The Massacre of Innocence" by Eric Holmberg. A few nights later, I found myself all alone and decided to view this controversial tape. I was impressed with its format. Initially, Eric takes the time to trace the roots of abortion and child-sacrifice Biblically. He then commenced to delve into the social, political, and cultural fallout that this sin against God and this crime against humanity have produced in our beleaguered nation.
It was the second part of the tape that would dramatically impact my life and change our service to God forever. There were times as a pastor I had spoken out against abortion from the Church pulpit, but up until the time I witnessed this tape, abortion was still just a word to debate. Even though I was saying with my lips "Abortion was murder," I had never acted like someone was truly dying. Somehow the reality of child-killing never struck the proper moral chord that would move me to fulfill my Biblical responsibility to rescue those unjustly sentenced to death and to speak for those who cannot speak for themselves (Proverbs 24:11,12; 31:8,9).
As the tape continued, the conviction of God upon my soul increased. Suddenly, a song came on that was performed by the female rock star Pat Bennitar. It is called, "Hell is for Children." As the song sounded forth, images of aborted babies were flashed upon the screen. It was overwhelming. My soul, heart, and conscience could hardly absorb the evil I was witnessing before my very eyes. Again, abortion to this point was a word that we argued about, but now the hellish reality was impressed upon my mind and I couldn't erase it.
The impact upon me was so great; I had to turn off the tape. I then ran to my bedroom and fell prostrate before the Lord. I'm not talking crying and weeping before God, but a wailing so intense that my physical chest hurt. I just could not for the life of me come to grips with how the nation I loved have descended into this wicked condition that was drowning us in a sea of blood and perversion.
Like Isaiah of old, I was undone (Isaiah 6:1-5). I had seen the Lord and His mind concerning this abomination and have spent the last several years fighting for the souls of men, the lives of children, and for the future of America. Right after the viewing of this video, I helped organize nine "rescues" in Florida. I then moved on to join the national rescue movement.
By God's grace, I now serve as Assistant Director to Rev. Flip Benham of Operation Rescue/Operation Save America.
I'm convinced that the law and government that allows for the murder of the preborn is simply a reflection of the heart of Americans. There is only one institution that God has ordained to change the heart of men and that is His word and Spirit operating through the Church of the living God. Child-killing and the gates of hell will always prevail against the Democratic and Republican parties. They will prevail against the President, Congress, Supreme Court, and every other government agency. They will not and cannot prevail against the Church of Jesus Christ (Matthew 16:18).
The Church must be brought to repentance and then bring forth the fruits of repentance by fulfilling our Biblical responsibilities to our preborn neighbors. This very thing was accomplished in my life by this powerful video and other convicting measures by the Lord. May it spread to others and as the Church wins the battle on the streets and in our culture, one day we will see that victory reflected in the change of our laws and governmental policies. May God hasten the day."
Maafa 21 Project
Life Dynamics has produced what may be the Goliath stone, which will once and for all slay the giant of the abortion industry, Planned Parenthood. For years, we have put the trumpet to our mouths to expose the roots of abortion and the birth control movements and trace their insidious connection to racism. We have endured the mockery, scorn, censorship, and the marginalization of American society as a result. With Maafa 21, those days are numbered. Prayerfully, soon and very soon, they will be NO MORE!
Many in the Pro-life movement have worked tirelessly to reveal the abortion/racism connection and knew the axe of God's truth needed to be applied to this idolatrous, bloody tree. You now have the opportunity to obtain the "axe." It is called "Maafa 21." It is produced by Mark Crutcher, Life Dynamics, from Denton, TX.
Mr. Crutcher meticulously chronicles the links from slavery to colonization to Darwin to Eugenics to sterilization to birth control and finally to abortion. By the time the name of Planned Parenthood is presented in this film, the full weight of historical evidence comes crashing down on them like a ton of brick. No stone is left unturned. Out of their own mouths, writings, archives, books, quotes, and recordings, the whole conspiracy responsible for black genocide is revealed.
Mark my words, those who work for Planned Parenthood need to resign immediately. Any politician who supports them from here on out is toast politically. Any black person like resident Obama who promises to support Planned Parenthood's agenda will be considered a traitor to the black race. This film is that powerful and has that kind of potential devastation to those who support child-killing.
Order several copies and send it to your local press, black pastors, governmental officials etc. There have already been two showings in Congress. Some members of the Black Caucus have already viewed this documentary. The more our black brothers and sisters see for themselves the incriminating evidence against Planned Parenthood, the more holy rage and righteous indignation will be unleashed against this wolf in sheep's clothing.
Based upon this effectual tool, Elijah Ministries is putting together a packet, which includes the Maafa 21 DVD, a cover letter, and two tracts we wrote to expose the hidden works of darkness perpetrated by Planned Parenthood. My wife Kendra is researching and following the money, which supports these merchants of death. Our plan is to personal deliver these packets to every agency, corporation, and sponsors of Planned Parenthood to reveal the abortion/racist connection they are supporting either in complacency or in complicity.
We are needing $1,175.00 to purchase 100 copies. If you desire to be a part of hurling this "stone" at Goliath's head, please consider sending an offering to help. The following is the cover letter. Keep this project in much prayer as well.
To Whom It May Concern,
Find enclosed in this packet, two tracts and an explosive DVD entitled Maafa 21. Maafa is an African term. It describes the horror of enslavement as it pertains to the black race in history. Twenty-one is a designation for the 21st century. Taken together, it means black enslavement, with the additional component of extinction in the 21st century.
I commend these resources for your honest appraisal. As an agency or organization, you have demonstrated support, through either tax funding or corporate sponsorship for a controversial organization, one called Planned Parenthood. Granted, it may have been done in ignorance, but as Maafa 21 will prove, the days of ignorance are ending.
Maafa 21 establishes a present day accountability, which was not here prior to this film. This scholarly documentary is being seen far and wide. College campuses, reporters, government officials, black leaders and pastors are currently viewing its contents. In fact, staff members of the Black Caucus in Congress have already seen it. The response has been phenomenal. Hearts have broken and more importantly, eyes have been opened to a horrendous agenda that started with the end of slavery and has proceeded to this day. The film takes its viewers on a journey through a dark dimension of the American story, exploring compelling connections between slavery, colonization, Darwin, Eugenics, sterilization, birth control, and finally, abortion.
The DVD cover reads:
They were stolen from their homes, locked in chains and taken across an ocean. And for more than 200 years, their blood and sweat would help to build the richest and most powerful nation the world has ever known. But when slavery ended, their welcome was over. America's wealthy elite had decided it was time for them to disappear and they were not particular about how it might be done. What you are about to see is that the plan these people set in motion 150 years ago is still being carried out today. So don't think that this is history. It is not. It is happening right here, and it's happening right now.
Maafa 21 reveals the philosophy behind our nation's sin against the black race never changed, only the method of implementation. I adjure you by all that is sacred to take the time to watch this groundbreaking DVD. It is my sincere prayer that it will convince anyone who sees it, to cease their support of Planned Parenthood. Public funds or corporate sponsorship should end immediately.
Maafa 21 exposes the abortion/racist connection associated with Planned Parenthood. The evidence is indisputable. May it convince your agency or organization to disassociate from an organization, which will soon experience the full measure of guilt associated with the full weight of history.
Texas Personhood Amendment
"Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand (Ephesians 6:13)."
While in Vegas, OR/OSA hosted The Las Vegas Personhood Summit. It was well attended and the ball is rolling to establish the personhood of the preborn child in Nevada. The national leadership came in and presented the vision and mission. Here is their report:
"This past week in Las Vegas, Nevada, PersonhoodUSA held the first ever Personhood Summit. Coinciding with Operation Save America's weeklong event, pro-life activists and leaders from around the country met in Las Vegas for a very successful meeting.
Jim Sedlak of American Life League, Dan Becker of Georgia Right to Life, Dr. Annie Buckacek of the Montana ProLife Coalition, Leslie Hanks of Colorado Right to Life, Gualberto Garcia Jones and Keith Mason of PersonhoodUSA, and Representative Don Dwyer of Maryland all spoke on the importance of Personhood and on the nationwide wave of efforts to protect all innocent human beings, especially the preborn, as full legal persons.
We at PersonhoodUSA love to see Personhood spreading under God's guidance, and will keep pushing forward at full speed."
Based upon the success in Nevada, it is proper and fitting to spread this initiative to Texas and perhaps in your state. I'm currently setting up meetings with different movers and shakers in Texas to begin the process of establishing the personhood of the preborn child in the Constitution of the state of Texas. If you are from our great state and want to be involved, please email me back with your contact information. Thanks!
Published Columnist
A few months back, Elijah Ministries was contacted by Wisdom Gates. They are a publishing company that produces different Christian magazines in America. They asked our ministry to become a regular contributor and columnist. The following is the message they sent to us. To our great delight, they recently published one of our articles, A Christian View of Education in their quarterly journal. This article is, in part, based upon one of our chapters in our new book. The magazine is called the "Home School Digest." We thank God for this open effectual door to spread His word. Please keep this new opportunity in prayer.
Author and speaker Israel Wayne from Wisdom's Gate Ministries had the privilege of serving with you this past week at two conferences in Missouri and came back with inspiring reports regarding you and your ministry.
Since the first of the year, we have been prayerfully seeking the LORD for fresh and faithful voices to speak His truth in the context of our publications. We have also been asking Him to direct us to other ministries where we can see the hand of our God at work and with which we can link arms in a united effort to see the LORD of glory exalted on this earth.
Earlier today, Israel forwarded your information to my editorial desk with a suggestion that we give prayerful consideration to incorporating your voice in our print publications. I've spent a good bit of time exploring your website in an effort to further discern your heart and direction, and was impressed with the content and focus of your message and ministry.
With all of these things considered, I am writing to extend an invitation on behalf of all of us here at Wisdom's Gate Ministries for you to add your name to our list of regular contributors to Brush Arbor Quarterly and Home School Digest.
You will find our Standard Author Release Form attached. If this arrangement is acceptable to you, please execute and return at your earliest convenience.
You may wish to submit fresh material each quarter or simplify your participation by granting blanket reprint permission for any writings you have done or will do. (This may be withdrawn at any time with written instruction.) As you see on the release form, all copyrights remain with you.
You are also welcome to submit any books you have written, either directly or through your publisher, for review and consideration for listing in the Worth Reading section of our Home School Digest.
In all these ways and more, we look forward to introducing your ministry to our dedicated readership!
May the good hand of our God continue to rest firmly upon you!
