hungrygeneration.com Ministries News Special Lufkin Silent Siege Report Tuesday, August 2nd, 2005 See the news reports on TV and newspaper… Day 1
Arriving at the clinic around 12 o’clock we were soon joined by 20 or so awesome, courageous teenagers. The 40 or so of us total stood in silence allowing the voice of the voiceless babies to be heard “even in our silence”! I was surprised to see a constant presence by Planned Parenthood outside taking pictures of each one of us.
That night the Silent Siege was the top story on our local news. You can watch the clip here. We had a wonderful evening of prayer for the ending of abortion and worship at Redland Baptist Church. Day 2 I woke up early today heading over for a radio interview with myself and the team from Bound4Life. We got to share our hearts for the ending of abortion in Lufkin and the nation. We were also on the front page of
the local paper, the Lufkin Daily
News today. I felt it was a pretty balanced article other then what the promotional
director of the Planned Parenthood clinic, Michelle Green, said. She, seeking
to distance herself from the national organization, actually said that they
support open communication between parents and teenagers. Unfortunately, this
is simply not the case. Here are some examples from her own organization’s web
site for teenagers: Talking to Your
Parents About Birth Control and Coming Out
to You Parents. These articles might start out encouraging communication,
but they quickly encourage the teenager to do whatever he is comfortable with.
I feel a great burden to pray for this lady, Michelle Green, now every day. I feel she, like Norma McCorvey the Roe of Roe vs. Wade, could be turned to God and stand against abortion. Please join me in praying for a Damascus road encounter (Acts 9) for her this week. I know Jesus can do this converting her heart to the attitude of the righteous (Luke 1:17)! The remainder of the day was wonderful as we stood again crying out to Jesus for the ending of abortion. We know that this battle will only be won in prayer! I am so excited to see local churches in prayer. Please continue to pray for our team. Many of us are extremely tired already. Some with Bound4Life are even in bed physically ill. Please pray for the protection of God over my friends from Bound4Life (II Thes. 3:1-5).
