  "To make ready a people prepared for the Lord."  (Luke 1:17)
Dear Champion of the Lord and the Preborn,
 
The Lord richly bless you!  On Saturday, June 21st, Elijah Ministries is heading to Kansas on a Kingdom mission.  For the next few weeks, we will be working in conjunction with Vision America and Pastor Rick Scarborough.  The nature of the vision is to mobilize pastors and saints to stand for righteousness in their communities in every realm, including politics.

LOCAL PRO-LIFE REPORT
 

The following report was sent to me by my good pastor friend, Ronnie Holmes, from Church of the Open Door.  Clearly, there has been a disturbance in the force at Planned Parenthood in Waco.  We need to pray for abortionist, Thomas Britton.  Though he has retired from child-killing, the blood remains upon his hands.  He desperately needs to repent and turn to Christ for the forgiveness of sins.  We have personal knowledge that he is drinking himself to death to assuage his guilt.  May God have mercy on his soul.  

We need to pray as well that whoever replaces him brings confusion into Planned Parenthood's camp.  The pool of "doctors" willing to perform abortions is shrinking.  Perhaps, if God be pleased, we can win this local battle by attrition.  Let us pray that PP cannot find a "doctor" to perform the grisly trade of abortion. To those in the Central Texas area, Pastor Ronnie could use some help to expose Planned Parenthood at their Nobody's Fool propaganda and indoctrination conference.  At the end of his report, his contact information is available.    

Hi Rusty,    

Here's an update of what has been transpiring concerning the Waco Planned parenthood abortion clinic.     Tom Britton (abortionist) has apparently retired as of May 23,2008. They seem to have another replacement, although I do not have much info on him.  I do know that last Thursday, the clinic was not doing surgical abortions.  Continue to believe with us for God's hand to close down this place, and Him to open the eyes and hearts of those who work there.    

I am not sure of the date for the Nobody's Fool conference this summer, but we do have some very incriminating information given directly from students who went to the past events.  This should help reinforce the fact that they are seeking to groom the next generation of customers to adapt their sexually promiscuous philosophy.  We will seek to get this out to the media and to local pastors before the time.    Rusty, thanks for all you do for the Kingdom!   Love ya.

The following letter was sent by Elijah Ministries to Britton and the workers at Planned Parenthood a few years ago.  May the Lord bring it to their remembrance. 
 
Dear Precious Soul for Whom Christ Died,

On the night Jesus Christ was betrayed into the hands of sinful humanity, He lifted up His voice and declared this soul-liberating truth, "This is My Body, broken for you!" With these revolutionary words, the true meaning of love dawned in this poor, fallen, darkened world. Love incarnate laid down His life so that His enemies deserving of eternal damnation might come to know the indescribable joy of eternal life (Romans 5:6-8).

Today, you are involved with an organization that has also boldly, proudly, and loudly declared, "This is my body." Except this time, it is chanted by those who lay down the lives of others and kills the innocent to satisfy the most basest aspects of fallen humanity, lust, greed, selfishness, and irresponsibility. It is demonic and a complete distortion of the truth. It takes a Christian virtue and perverts it to mask evil.

Both the Kingdom of God and the Powers of Darkness cry out, "This is my body." One leads to natural and eternal life, the other to physical death and eternal damnation. Which body do you want broken for you, the Body of Christ which leads to your redemption or the broken bodies of innocent children that stand as an indictment against your eternal soul? Since choice and not the authority of the Bible is the supreme tenet of your religion, which will you choose? Will you surrender your life to the One who died to set the captive free, or will you continue to destroy the lives of little ones that leads your souls and others into captivity?

May God grant you the gift of faith, the gift of repentance, and the gift of eternal life! May you repent and come to the acknowledgment of the truth that has the power to save your soul!

From someone who weeps in prayer for you, the parents who are driven to abort their own children, and for the little ones who needlessly die on the altar of convenience each week in Waco.

 
 

INTERVIEW WITH FOCUS ON THE FAMILY  

Recently, I received a phone call from a reporter from Focus on the Family.  He was needing contact information for Michael Marcavage from Repent America.  Last year Focus covered Michael and I as we confronted the dangerous "Hate Crimes" fiasco in Washington DC. 

After giving him Michael's number, he asked if I would comment on the decision of a court that found Michael guilty of preaching on a public sidewalk in front of the Liberty Bell.  He was fined $450.00, plus 1 year probation. In essence, we discussed the tragic irony of being arrested and punished for preaching the liberating message of the Gospel at the symbol of American liberty.  As Michael was standing near the bell, which has this inscription, "Proclaim liberty throughout all the land unto all the inhabitants thereof," (Leviticus 25:10) he was arrested for preaching without a permit. 

At the same time Michael was crying out against the violations against the life and liberty of the preborn, another group was there for breast cancer awareness.  Though they shouted, clapped, and announced their message, they were not arrested for being there without a permit.  Clearly, this was another case of selective enforcement based upon the content of the message. Michael and his lawyer will be appealing this travesty of justice. 

Please keep this case and Michael in your prayers.  As California makes a mockery of marriage and family by judicial tyranny, the courts continue to censor the Gospel message in our public square.  This is a deadly combination designed to turn licentiousness into liberty and true liberty into a crime punishable by law.  

ATLANTA 

The countdown for Atlanta has begun.  Within a month's time saints from around America will converge upon this southern city.  Preparations are being made and final touches are being applied as we return to the city that witnessed the birth of genuine repentance. One that moved the Church to correctly represent God's heart and message for His children being slaughtered in the wombs of their mothers.

 
If you have faltered between two opinions, it is now time to decide to come join us in Atlanta.  The enemy of our souls desires us to remain silent and inactive as America destroys herself by killing her offspring, God, however, desires us to speak out and actively engage.  We must keep in mind that when we seek to rescue those unjustly sentenced to death, we are seeking to rescue our children and grandchildren's future.
 
The dates are July 12-19th.  I pray to see you there!
 
RACHEL'S PARK MEMORIAL
 
After we return from Atlanta we will need to return to Kansas to complete the mission there. During that time, we will need a local team from Waco that will help erect a fence at RPM.   Before we leave for Atlanta, we will order the materials.  When we return the fence will need to be built.  The length of the fence is 300 feet.  If you or someone you know could help volunteer, please let me know ASAP.  Thanks for all you love, prayers, and financial support as we pour ourselves out for our great King and his Kingdom. 

IN KING JESUS' SERVICE,
 
Rev. Rusty Lee Thomas
