UPDATE FROM THE LAST 10 WEEKS
Thank you everyone for praying for our Oil of Joy ministry team that has been going into the Plane State women's prison every Saturday for the last 10 weeks to do the abortion recovery program for the wounded hearts there!
On May 29, we all celebrated the restoration of these mothers together at their graduation service! All were able to share their testimony at the front of what the Lord has done in their hearts and lives during the 10 week course. As they came up to share, they also received their certificate of graduation. Some even said that it was the only certificate they had ever received. One beautiful lady even sang a very anointed song for us that was very appropriate for the day with a very gorgeous voice, 'My Tribute'. Afterwards, we all had fun eating cookies and refreshing green tea that we brought for them. They were so happy, they all looked like little children opening presents on Christmas morning.
Thank you to all of you who have been a huge part of this restoration movement of God in Plane State prison by interceding for us and contributing to us financially. We do not take your prayers lightly. Without prayer, this work could never be accomplished. You are very valuable to our Lord!

UPDATE FROM HOPE FOR LIFE CONFERENCE
Thank you very much for praying for our most recent event, the Hope for Life Conference (h).
in Dallas, TX April 14 - 17, 2010. The Lord came through for us with the funds needed to be able to make this ministry trip.
He is so faithful! Michelle Walker and I made many divine connections while there and received much wisdom and encouraging Words from the Lord. We were able to get many great pictures and video of several speakers and leaders of
the pro life movement.
We were invited to attend the upcoming Cry for Life conference in Holland on Sep.11-18, which will also include a tour of Auschwitz (former Nazi concentration camp) and Berlin. I was able to speak to all of the members of this pro life team from Holland about the women's prison ministry that I am a part of and also tell them of my sister in law who is also from Holland, although she and my brother live in the US now, since 2005. They even said that we were welcome to stay in their home when we go. Isn't God just so cool!
It appears that God is opening many new doors and opportunities for us to share His love to the hurting and the outcasts.
I am thankful for each and every one of you for praying for us and believing in this move of God to restore those that have
been wounded by abortion.
Willie Dorenbos & Bert Dorenbos (Holland), Allan Parker (Pres of The Justice Foundation) & myself

The worship and Word was awesome as the Holy Spirit's presence was so evident among us. Thank you to everyone who prayed for us, for we value your prayers very much!

UPDATE FROM JANUARY 17 & 18, 2010
Bound4LIFE - Prayer Rally and March Event
Houston, Texas
My last event was January 17 & 18, 2010. In working with Bound 4 Life (www.bound4life.com), I took part in The Call Prayer Rally and March Event here in Houston, Texas. Michelle Walker accompanied me. Thousands gathered to pray, fast and peacefully siege the massive injustice of Planned Parenthood building the world's 2nd largest abortion facility here in Houston. There was a silent march through the streets to the Planned Parenthood site (set to open in March 2010), a nationwide press conference and silent prayer stand.

We prayed and believed in agreement that this facility will not shed blood, but it will instead be used as a facility for healing and life. I believe we have made and are making a difference. Believe with me that abortions WILL NOT take place here.
This is a slide show from pictures taken at the event.

UPDATE FROM AUGUST 9, 2009
Myself. Michelle Walker and several others worked with Rhonda Arias/Oil of Joy to minister at an all womens facility, Mt. View Prison in Gatesville, Texas.
The first portion of the day we went cell to cell, ministering to hurting hearts. The latter portion of the day was spent in an atmosphere of the love of Christ in the prison chapel, where we had the opportunity to worship the Lord with the wonderful women of Mt. View and received a word from the Lord from powerful preacher Rhonda Arias. She left us with the covenant word, the Lord will always come back around for us.
this was Rhonda Arias' group for the day ... I'm 3rd from the right

UPDATE FROM JANUARY 24, 2009:
The 2009 Texas Rally for Life was the largest ever, thanks to all those who promoted and attended this rousing event!
Thousands marched from Republic Square to the South Steps of the Capitol on January 24, chanting and holding signs that encouraged legislators to pass bills that help women and men "Choose Life," not death, for their unborn children.
One of the featured speakers was Gov. Rick Perry, who has signed more pro-life bills into law than any governor in Texas, strongly encouraged the crowd (and legislators!) to stand strong in the face of a pro-abortion national government. He urged everyone to support current pro-life legislation in Texas such as the Choose Life license plate bill (H.B. 109) and efforts to fund morally sound adult stem cell research (S.B. 73). (Sign the Choose Life license plate petition online!)

UPDATE FROM NOVEMBER 8, 2008 EVENT:
I worked w/ The Justice Foundation (www.thejusticefoundation.org) & Operation Outcry (www.operationoutcry.org) at their annual fund raising event. It was called 'The Justice Foundation's 2008 Annual Life in the West Gala' in San Antonio. The evening's 'Amazing Grace' theme commemorated how William Wilberforce helped to eliminate slavery in the British Empire in the 1800's and the many parallels between his lifelong battle and the struggle of the pro-life movement today. Ken Wales, Producer of the movie 'Amazing Grace' (2007) was the Keynote Speaker. Other special guests were Mike Schnabel (Lessons from the Roundpen Ministries) & a representative from the 'Belle' (2007) movie team. Some Operation Outcry workers also spoke, sharing their testimonies.
There was a feel of anticiation in the air as we united as one for the cause of the unborn. Close to my heart was near the closing of the evening, when we sang, 'Amaging Grace'. And it really is ... Amazing Grace.

UPDATE FROM JULY 30 - AUGUST 1, 2008 EVENT:
In working with Operation Outcry, I shared my testimony on a taping of their television/radio program 'Faces of Abortion' (which you can see later on Operation Outcry's website (www.operationoutcry.org) or on SkyAngel). It is scheduled to air sometime this fall. The episode that I speak on will be #516.
The shooting was an awesome experience. Wish you could have been there. The Christian TV Station (KPLE-TV in Killeen, TX) and it's owner Katherine were great. The people were awesome and so down to earth. So many stories of hurting women, pouring out their hearts in a unified plea to just say no to abortion.
Thank ya'll so much for all ya'lls support and prayers. Couldn't have done it without ya'll!
Note to Operation Outcry/Faces of Abortion Crew: Thank you everyone for sharing and praying with myself and my assistant. For helping us to feel welcomed, loved and valuable. A special thank you to Tracy, Lisa, Cindy, and Allan for the opportunity.

I am praying for each and every one of you and also love and appreciate you. Remember me and the ministry in your prayers - for provision, protection, and for the Lord to speak through me and use me.
God bless you,
