Biotech Firm Caught Selling Heads of Unborn Babies, BY STEVEN ERTELT
LOCAL POSTAL CUSTOMER
A grisly case out of the state of Michigan is once again putting the spotlight on the sale of aborted baby parts. A biotech firm has been caught selling the heads of unborn babies. There is no information on whether the babies died in miscarriages or were victims of abortions. But undercover agents on behalf of the Reuters news agency engaged in transactions to purchase the heads of those babies. As part of the news agency’s examination of the industry, for example, a Reuters reporter was able to purchase two human heads and a cervical spine from Restore Life USA, a broker based in Blackburn’s home state of Tennessee. The deals were struck after just a few emails, at a cost of $900 plus shipping. Once officials were alerted, the biotech firm’s warehouse was raided. There, officials found the intact bodies of four additional unborn children. Again there is no information about whether those unborn babies died in miscarriages or abortions.
Federal agents discovered four preserved fetuses in the Detroit warehouse of a man who sold human body parts, confidential photographs reviewed by Reuters show. The fetuses were found during a December 2013 raid of businessman Arthur Rathburn’s warehouse. The fetuses, which appear to have been in their second trimester, were submerged in a liquid that included human brain tissue. In four of the photos, a crime scene investigator in a hazmat suit uses forceps to lift a different fetus from the brownish liquid. In three other photos, a marker that includes a government evidence identification number lies beside a fetus. The firm is known as Restore Life and its website

I grew up in a home with well-meaning parents that didn’t know Jesus. In fact, not a single person on either side of my family had a personal relationship with Christ before I did. I still don’t fully know why God chose me to be the first, but I am so thankful that He did. My theology as a kid was built on a prayer we had before meals- “God is great, God
is good let us thank Him for our food, amen.” This theology was severely tested at age 15 when I was diagnosed with leukemia and told that if I didn’t get treatment, I would die. This began a 26-month long fight for my life that nearly killed me physically and totally killed me spiritually. I cursed God, I hated God, I wanted nothing to do
with God. The “God is good” theology that I had built during all those years of blessing my food was gone. I thought God was unjust and unloving. “How could HE do this to me” I kept thinking, “He must not be good at all!” To ease the pain and suffering during treatment, I learned how to escape through immorality and substance abuse.

19, my treatment was over but my habits remained. I was a binge drinker, a daily drug user, and I was constantly defiling my body with some form of sexual immorality. I was an aimless, careless, godless man on his way to destruction. In November of 2001 I got into what could have been a fatal car accident, yet I walked away with out a bruise. While in the hos-
pital, I felt and heard the Holy Spirt for the first time. An intense wave of peace came over me and He said to me “You’re alive for a reason. I kept you alive through the cancer. You can trust me Chris. You will do something special with your life.” When this happened every single bit of bitterness towards God was gone, instantly. Continuation on Page:

convoluted and Planned Parenthood likely did its best to make its actions appear as legal as possible — although the sales of aborted baby parts is clearly unethical. Members of Congress are very concerned about the discoveries and their im-
plications. “This needs to be reviewed,” said U.S. Representative Marsha Blackburn, a Republican from Tennessee who recently chaired a special U.S. House committee on the use of fetal tissue. Blackburn recoiled when

When she finished telling me this, her first idea about the numbers is that they might be related to a bible verse. Turned out she was right. After opening her dusty bible that had been closed on the shelf for most of life, I flipped around to the verses relating to the four numbers. When I got to Matthew 7, I immediately felt that same feeling I had felt in the hospital room. It was that overwhelming feeling of God speaking. The word was from verses 12-14: “Whatsoever you want man to do to you, do also to them, for this is the law and the prophets. But enter through the narrow gate, for the gate is wide and the road is easy that leads to destruction and there are many who take it. But the gate is narrow and the road is hard that
leads to life and there are few who find it” This left me speechless. I knew exactly what God was saying. “Give up the lifestyle you are living or it will destroy you.” That day, I made a decision in my heart to seek God. Nobody in my world knew Jesus or the Bible so I spent the next 4 and half years trying to find out who God was. Even though I felt I was growing in my connection with God, during the first year and half I saw my life get worse with drugs, alcohol and sex. In 2003, I got arrested and put into a rehab and I knew that I was going down the wide road to destruction that God had warned me about. At that point God sent a prophet into my life in the form of my future wife Andrea. Andrea knew about Jesus and her family was a praying family. They prayed for me for 3 and a half of those 4 and a half years, and because of their prayers, God supernaturally encountered me and told me that Jesus was the way. He showed me how Jesus was diffe-
was not qualified. But then I thought, “In the Name of Jesus I will continue to press on!” I’m much happier ‘just doing’…in church and in ministry, and with my family. After all, God gave me all these talents to use for others. Listen! Singing, art, writing, drama, cooking, creating, living, being! How sad to keep all these things to ourselves. Yes, disappointments come; sometimes, ‘lessthan harmony’ exists. Not everyone is appreciative – but who are we doing these things for? Why, Jesus Himself! Be encouraged! Keep going!

A Republican from Virginia, Goodlatte said that if individuals “violate federal laws and traffic in body parts of unborn children for monetary gain,” they should be “held accountable.” Planned Parenthood has generally not been held accountable for its own actions, though two companies that sold aborted baby parts for the nation’s biggest abortion company have been forced to close down.

All I felt was joy and gratitude. All I wanted to do was thank Him for sparing me. The next morning, I went to take a shower and I noticed the strangest thing I’ve ever seen with my natural eyes, even to this day. I had four numbers on my left upper arm, each about an inch tall. It literally looked like someone had taken a razor blade and carved them in. I thought at first that something must have cut through my clothes, but I had no tears or blood anywhere on my long sleeve shirt. I could find no explanation for how these four perfectly etched numbers got there except that something supernatural had just happened. When I showed them to my mom, she was as alarmed as me. “How could that have happened?!” She asked. “I have no idea” I said. The first thing she thought of was the scene of the accident. She told me that during the accident my car had flipped and landed on its roof, slid 300 feet and landed directly in front of 3 white crosses. “What!? Really?! Right
rent than every other prophet and how the new age gurus who teach that all roads lead to heaven were wrong. He spoke this to me in so many ways that it was undeniable. On May 20th, 2006, after experiencing years of destruction and emptiness (even during times of prosperity) God gave me the greatest gift I’ve ever been given-forgiveness for my sins, deliverance from the enemy and an infilling of His Holy Spirit. Since that day, my life has never been the same. Since that day, Jesus has been my Savior, Lord and friend. I am so thankful for those that prayed for me and for those that spoke God’s truths to me. Sometimes we don’t think it matters, but it does. People prayed for me for 3 and a half years before I gave my life to Jesus and then one day all the seeds that were sown in prayer were reaped. Keep fighting the fight of faith from the place of power- on your knees. God will honor His word prayed through you!

Counselor’s Corner:
FOFTH Email: Louise.alleva@gmail.com
This morning I was watching Nick prepare himself to brave an unusually chilly day outside in Florida. He was tempted to stay home because of the cold, but he made a commitment several years ago to do this activity one day a week. So, he added on another layer of clothes, bravely picked up his golf clubs and headed out the door. Monday is the day when several men get together and have an amazing fellowship time with each other. I secretly call them the FOFTH better known as the Fellowship
of the Fairway to Heaven. FOFTH is by no means a secret society, or closed to anyone who wants to join in. Many have played with this group for an occasional game or several weeks on the links, but the core players are five or six guys that have a common interest, their love of the Lord and they like to play golf. They have become buddies of all ages who laugh, get frustrated (mostly over their game), are deeply affected when someone must miss for health reasons, to life’s challenges, or if they lose someone to

Heaven. They pray for each other, share clubs back and forth, and when asked they’ll even offer advice, not necessarily about golf but any subject one might be dealing with at the time. And through all of this they play golf, week after week, year after year. Now you can understand why Nick put on an extra layer of clothes to deal the elements. While I was watching him go out the door, carrying his clubs, I started thinking what exactly is it that the Lord was showing me about the Fellowship of
the Fairway to Heaven. I wasn’t thinking on a broader concept like peace on earth but how amazing it is that six men have become friends and yet, though they rarely socialize with each other outside of golf day, they are still there for each other any time any day. Here is what I believe the Lord wanted me to share with you about this very special fellowship and what we can learn. First and foremost, they love God. They try to follow His Word and receive His love through their unique personalities and through life’s ups and downs. Sometimes Nick would come home frustrated over his game, and then share that he and the others prayed for one of the guys. He wants to improve his game, but most importantly he was available for comfort, support to someone. He also shared the times he received love and comfort himself.

They sincerely care for each other. They do not take themselves too seriously and are not competitive as they joke and tease each other, especially if a ball lands in the weeds or pond, or bounces on a main street that runs by one of the holes. No one is offended by the teasing, just friendly bantering among brothers. They help each other both during the game and afterwards. I’m very proud of Nick. He has accumulated many clubs over the years and has willingly given complete sets to others from his collection. Nick and I were given walking golf carts to hold our clubs and the guys often share balls or tees with each other. Also beyond the Monday fellowship, there have been many other blessings given and received because of their respect and love for each other. As a counselor I wish I could bottle some of the dynamics of these fellows. Their love of the Father
mixed in with a healthy dose of receiving His love and believing what He says about each one of us could be mixed together as a medicine to fight loneliness, fear, low self-esteem. Then with time and rest, we would have the chance to feel safe to forgive, have joy, be at peace and free from bondage and hurt. The cure would be healing and an opening to allow our Father in Heaven through the Holy Spirit to use our gifts to bless others, be content and see ourselves as He sees us, blessed and highly favored. I’m sure the Fairway to Heaven fellowship isn’t as philosophical. They just want to play golf. But others see them and are influenced by them as individuals and as a fellowship. I see them as an amazing group of men of God and am proud that Nick is one of them. Blessings and Love, Louise Alleva, D. Min, LCPC. CTC

Watching A Charlie Brown Christmas has been a tradition for millions since it first aired on December 9, 1965. While many love the iconic Vince Guaraldi score, the humor and the animation, one part of the special has always stood out and made it unique: Linus’s recitation of the Gospel of Luke. In 2015, The Washington Post published a retrospective on A Charlie Brown Christmas. Michael Cavna explained Peanuts creator Charles Schulz’s mission in making the special: Charles Schulz insisted on one core purpose: A Charlie Brown Christmas had
to be about something. Namely, the true meaning of Christmas. Otherwise, Schulz said, “Why bother doing it?” To Coca-Cola’s credit, Mendelson says, the corporate sponsor never balked at the idea of including New Testament passages. The result — Linus’s reading from the Book of Luke about the meaning of the season — became “the most magical two minutes in all of TV animation,” the producer says. Schulz stood strong, despite efforts to talk him out of quoting from the Bible. On December 5, 2005, USA Today recounted:
[Executive producer Lee] Mendelson and animator Bill Melendez fretted about the insistence by Peanuts creator Charles Schulz that his first-ever TV spinoff end with a reading of the Christmas story from the Gospel of Luke by a lisping little boy named Linus. “We told Schulz, ‘Look, you can’t read from the Bible on network television,’ ” Mendelson says. “When we finished the show and watched it, Melendez and I looked at each other and I said, ‘We’ve ruined Charlie Brown.’ “ According to a recounting on MentalFloss.com, CBS executives told Schulz:
Have You Walked the Romans Road?
- Admit that you are a sinner. Romans 3:23 “For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God.” - sinners suffer, their pay is death. Romans 6:23a “For the wages of sin is death...” - God’s gift to sinners is Jesus Christ, He came to save us. Romans 6:23b “...but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.” - Now give your life to God... Romans 5:8, “But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.” -Repent of your sins and call upon the grace of GodRomans 2:4 Or despisest thou the ri -ches of his goodness and
forbearance and longsuffering; not knowing that the goodness of God leadeth thee to repentance? - “Whosoever” includes everyone, no one is excluded. Romans 10:13 “For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.” - Believe God defeated death through Jesus and confess now that Jesus is Lord of your life. Tell everyone you are saved! Romans 10:9,10 “That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with
the mouth confession is made unto salvation.” Write to us for further help. FICC PO Box 14931 Bradenton, FL 34280 hesalivenews@yahoo.com www.ficcwordchurch.org Study more of the Word of God at: http://www. ficcwordchurch.org/fitcschool.htm
“You can’t read from the Bible on network television.” Mental Floss writer Kara Kovalchik recounted what happened next: But CBS had made a commitment to their sponsor, so they aired the special as scheduled on December 9, 1965. And, as often happens in the world of entertainment, the original gut reaction of the suits was completely wrong. A Charlie Brown Christmas drew in 15.4 million viewers, placing it second in the ratings that week after Bonanza. A few months later, Charles Schulz and Lee Mendelson found themselves onstage accep-

And so, the Charlie Brown creator persevered and created a Christmas classic that endures 52 years later. In case you don’t remember the iconic moment, here it is: For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, which is Christ the Lord. And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger. And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly
host, praising God, and saying: ‘Glory to God in the highest, and on Earth, peace and goodwill towards men.’ “That’s what Christmas is all about, Charlie Brown.” LifeNews.com Note: Scott Whitlock is a news analyst for the Media Research Center and a contributing writer to NewsBusters, its blog where this item first appeared.

Make a Commitment,
not a
By Carol Round GROVE, OK (ANS – January 1, 2018) -- “Commit to the Lord whatever you do, and he will establish your plans” -- Proverbs 16:3 (NIV). How many of us make New Year’s resolutions but fail to follow through? We resolve to lose weight and get healthy. We promise ourselves we’ll pay off debt and save money. We plan to give up habits detrimental to our well-being. Most of the time, most of us don’t accomplish what we yearn to do. Why do we begin a New
Resolution
Year full of hope and promise, only to fall back on old habits and ways of thinking? Is it because we’re trying to accomplish our goals without the help of the One who has our best interests at heart? Instead of resolutions, what if we made commitments? What would that look like for each of us? What if we saw ourselves through the eyes of God’s Holy Word? Would that make a difference? What if our first commitment was to grow spiritually? Would that lead to
healthier physical and fiscal habits? Would we drop pounds and fatten our bank accounts so we were physically and fiscally able to help others? In the “Eight Laws for Spiritual Growth,” teaching pastor Tom Holladay offers the following help: 1. Spiritual growth is intentional. We must commit to reading and studying the Bible, participating in study groups, seeking out mentors, attending church services on a regular basis and focusing on becoming a disciple of Je-
sus Christ. Spiritual growth is not accidental. 2. Spiritual growth is incremental. Just as we grow physically with age, we mature spiritually by taking baby steps. 3. Spiritual growth is personal. We can’t compare ourselves to others. “There is no one-size-fits-all for spiritual growth,” Holladay says. 4. Spiritual growth is practical. To be a disciple of Jesus, we must embrace the spiritual disciplines listed in number one. 5. Spiritual growth is rela-

tional. We only grow in community with others. In Hebrews 10:24-25, Paul writes, “Let us think of ways to motivate one another to acts of love and good works. And let us not neglect our meeting together, as some people do, but encourage one another… (NLT).” 6. Spiritual growth is multi-dimensional. “We are to grow warmer through fellowship, deeper through discipleship, stronger through worship, broader through ministry, and larger through mission,” he says. 7. Spiritual growth is seasonal. “Nobody grows at a constant pace all the time. Plants don’t grow constantly; they grow in spring and summer and then are dormant in fall and winter,” Holladay explains. 8. Spiritual growth is incarnational. “The final truth,” he adds, “is that growth is not about what you can accomplish; rather, it’s about the person of
Jesus Christ living inside you.” Galatians 2:20 says, “My old self has been crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me. So I live in this earthly body by trusting in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.” Instead of making resolutions in 2018, make commitments. Write Proverbs 16:3 on an index card and post it in a prominent place as a reminder. Carol’s latest book, “Growing Confidently in Your Faith,” is perfect for spiritual growth beginning in the New Year. Go to www.carolaround.com for more information.

St Petersburg, FL based SEAR loses license to operate as NGO in Viet Nam, prayers sought
By Rex B. Almquist
St Petersburg, FL Jan 2018 - Pray for SEAR staff in Viet-Nam, as things have really changed in the last three months. What the government of Viet-Nam wants to do, is to replace our Christian staff with government people, who do not know the Lord, and are communist. SEAR corporation papers, and the SEAR Board of Directors will not allow this to happen. The police in Viet-Nam are no longer allowing SEAR staff to bring children / youth to church, as long as they work for SEAR. The police have asked our staff to retire in order to be permitted to bring the young to church. This has caused problems for SEAR USA, as all funds come from churches and Christian individuals. Churches and

individual Christians will not support social work only. This goes against SEAR USA policy, and SEAR corporation documentation.
It is my understanding, at this point SEAR staff have retired, and SEAR has lost its license to operate as a licensed NGO in Viet-Nam. I have told our Viet-Nam
staff SEAR will continue to honor CBN OP contract through March 2018. I will leave for Viet-Nam, January 6th, and do not know how the police and
Group Says Several Vaccines are Based MICAIAH BILGER
Life News, www.lifenews.com
on Cells From Aborted Babies “Using Them is a Moral Evil”
An Australian group recently urged the government to grant religious freedom exceptions to parents who do not want their children to have vaccines made from aborted baby body parts. It is a difficult ethical dilemma for pro-life par-
ents, and the AustralianVaccination Skeptics Network says the government should not penalize parents’ decisions. In Australia, families who do not vaccinate their children do not receive childcare subsidies, Yahoo 7 News reports. AVSN said
the government should make an exception to that policy for families who object on religious grounds. “To use vaccines prepared with the products of abortion is a moral evil, and a direct violation of the teachings of pro-life religions, which include
Christianity, Judaism, Islam and Buddhism,’’ the group said. Vaccines that use cells derived from aborted babies include rubella vaccines, hepatitis A vaccines, varicella vaccines and the rabies vaccine. AVSN said it is not opposed to vaccines,
Abortion Clinic Tells Undercover Caller It Aborts Babies Up to 21 Weeks & 6 Days One Day Before Viability BY: STEVEN ERTELT
Life News, www.lifenews.com
Another abortion business has been caught indicating it will do late-term abortions on viable or almost-viable unborn babies.
In another undercover call released today, a caller asks the Women’s Med Center abortion clinic in Ohio if it would do abortions after 20 weeks. A staffer admits
the abortion center will kill unborn babies in abortions who are just one day under viability — even if both baby and mother are perfectly healthy.
In a joint statement, Father Frank Pavone, National Director of Priests for Life, and Tara Shaver, the prolife activist making the calls, said: “In Ohio, late-
other government officials will receive me. The SEAR mission really needs your prayers during this time of trial. 2018 is the 25th year SEAR USA will be in Viet-Nam. I will be going into Viet-Nam this January 2018, Lord willing, to visit SEAR staff, and the youth and children SEAR have been helping monthly. SEAR will follow through with needed support to make sure all those now being helped with schooling, or vocational training, will be able to complete their training. I will also, of course, be meeting with government officials etc., regarding the above. Pray as always, that boys and girls will be able to hear the gospel in Viet-Nam, whether SEAR remains in Viet-Nam or it is “pro-choice” for parents. “A New Tax System (Family Assistance) Act 2009 (Cth)2 should be amended immediately, to reinstate the right to conscientiously object to vaccinations on religious and secular belief, or conscience grounds,” it said. But Australian Medical Association President Michael Gannon dismissed the group’s concerns as mere “conspiracy theories.” “The AMA will not let ¬religious freedom be used in a completely irrational and ¬unscientific fashion,’’ Gannon said. A number of vaccines have been developed using tissue from aborted babies. The pro-life organization Children of God for Life keeps track of them and the ethical alternatives available in the United States and Canada. “There are 47 vaccines li-
not. The SEAR mission will be searching for the Lord’s will for the future, looking at Cambodia, and possibly Burma, and looking, especially at needs among youth and children from various countries, now living among us, locally in Florida. God bless you. Working together for His Kingdom; South-East Asian Relief, PLEASE CONTINUE, AS THE LORD LEADS, TO SUPPORT THE MISSION SEAR WITH PRAYERS AND FINANCES, DURING THIS DIFFICULT TIME.

term abortions are legal and are being performed on healthy mothers carrying healthy babies up to 21 weeks and 6 days of pregnancy. The state of Ohio has recently made a great stride to protect babies with Down syndrome from abortion but there is still work to be done to protect healthy babies after 20 weeks of pregnancy who are routinely being aborted.” “We urge Democratic Sen. Sherrod Brown to support the federal Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act to ensure that babies who feel pain receive protection from barbaric and unnecessary late term abortions.” The federal bill is expected to come up for a vote in mid-January and would ban abortion after 20
weeks. Father Pavone noted that Sen. Brown, who is up for re-election in 2018, has a 100 percent rating from Planned Parenthood, voted against a partial-birth abortion ban in 2000 and more recently, voted against even considering the Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act in 2015. Today’s call is part of an ongoing series that Priests for Life and Abortion Free New Mexico are working on to demonstrate to Americans that late-term abortion is legal and does not require dire circumstances for the baby or the mother. As the calls reveal, healthy babies are aborted at least up until 32 weeks.

censed in the U.S., eight of which use aborted fetal cell lines yet only three of them have no moral option. Those three are associated with chickenpox vaccine but in reality, even those did not have to be produced with aborted fetal material,” said Executive Director Debi Vinnedge, previously. Last year, a U.S. Congressional investigative panel found that fetal tissue often was used to developvaccines for “economic, not scientific reasons.” “Almost 75 specific vaccine formulations have been approved by the FDA for use in the United States and not a single one has been produced using freshly isolated human fetal tissue. Eleven of these vaccines rely on fetal cell lines for historic reasons, yet all of them could be produced using animal cells,” according to the report.

Drive-by shooting missed us by the grace of God Ashley Joy Carrillo
It was Friday the 29th of December at 8:50 pm in Pomona, CA as my family and I were sitting in our living room watching TV. All of sudden gun shots went off! Adrian and I grabbed our son who was playing with his train set and we quickly took cover in our room on the floor. After some time, when we felt it was safe, Adrian muted the TV. Then we heard the screams. My husband called 911 as I held my son and prayed. Now I’m telling this to share how awesome and faithful my God is! The car that was shot at is normally blocking our driveway, but it wasn’t tonight. If it had been, those bullets would have easily come towards our home. The target was some new people who had moved into our neighborhood. They usually smoke, do drugs and drink in our driveway. It has made us uncomfortable because our neighborhood is a family friendly area. This was a target hit on whoever shot at them, but like I said, by the grace of God, for what ever reason tonight they
WASHINGTON, Dec. 19, 2017 /Christian Newswire/ -- In a year that abortion businesses attempted to expand in America, the actual number of abortion facilities decreased by 27 clinics over 2016 totals. Closures far outpaced newly opened abortion facilities in 2017. In all, 49 abortion facilities - 35 surgical and 14 medication only clinics closed or halted abortion services. Only eight new surgical abortion facilities were opened, along with eleven new medication abortion facilities. These encouraging statistics and more were verified through an annual survey of abortion facilities conducted by Operation Rescue staff, this year with the assistance of Abortion Free New Mexico. “Operation Rescue’s annual surveys provide the

I am thankful that no one besides the intended target was harmed. Of course, I am sorry for the one who did get hit, though it could have been much worse. #ThankYouJesus for always watching over us and also to the #PomonaPolice who blessed our son with 2 gifts! One person was shot, and his condition is still unknown. Please pray for him and for our neighborhood.

most complete and accurate picture of abortion facilities available - straight from the horse’s mouth,” said Troy Newman, President of Operation Rescue. In 2017, there are 704 abortion facilities remaining in the U.S. Of these, 490 offer surgical abortions, often along with medication abortions. There are 214 facilities that offer only medication abortions. Forty-five percent of all states had at least one abortion facility that closed or halted all abortion services this year. “We rejoice that the abortion cartel is imploding and closing down. We are making progress. But they are not going down without a fight,” said Troy Newman. “We continue to work and pray that we will soon see an end to abortion in our nation.

Secret Christian Camp in Russia Shares the Gospel By Steven Ma
MISSION VIEJO, CA (ANS – December 29, 2017) -Though Christmastime is beloved for us, it’s also bitter sweet. We know that there are millions around the world that can’t celebrate Christmas because they live in a country of conflict or oppression. There are also millions of others who don’t celebrate Christmas because they have not heard of the hope, joy, love and peace that Jesus brings. Yet because of your faithful prayers and gifts, we at Guideline International Ministries (https://www. guidelines.org/) have been able to share the message of Jesus with many who would otherwise never known about it. In Russia, Christians have been experiencing growing persecution from the
government. Recent laws have made it illegal to share your faith or meet in a home church group. Yet despite the darkness and the danger, our missionaries in Russia still risk everything to demonstrate the love of God. Earlier this year, they held a secret Christian camp for kids. Hidden in the woods, kids slept in tents, participated in games and activities, and heard the message of Jesus. Some were from alcoholic families. Others were so poor and hungry that they ate 5-7 meals a day at the camp. Many of you prayed for that camp and for those children. Many of you donated this year, and those funds were used to put on this camp. Because of you, 15 children are celebrat-
ing Christmas this year, knowing the love, joy and peace of our Savior. Your continued faithfulness in prayer and giving will sustain our programs so more people will encounter Jesus and follow

him. Despite having most of our broadcast licenses taken away by the Russian government, we’re finding new ways to share about God through streaming devotionals online. But God is calling us to so much more. In the past few months, He’s revealed opportunities that we believe He wants us to step into in 2018, including projects which would enable us to reach millions of Muslims. To step up to the bold vision of God, we need to step up in our faith, commitment and sacrifice. We’re set on fol-
lowing God wherever He wants to take us. We’re asking you to join us. This is an important moment in history. God is moving around the world in big ways, and this is your opportunity to be a part of it. Will you join us in taking a step of faith and sacrifice into the new year?

It was during his ministry at Lake’s Divine Healing Institute in Spokane, Washington, that the city was documented by the United States Government as “...the healthiest city in the world...” “Our church had diligently taught us that the days of miracles were passed. Believing this, eight members of the family had been permitted to die. But now, with the light of truth flashing in our hearts, we saw that that was a lie. A lie invented no doubt by the devil, and diligently heralded as truth by the Church, thus robbing mankind of their rightful inheritance through the blood of Jesus Christ.” Discover what belongs to you and stir up your faith in God’s unchanging power.

Maybe you even wondered if God could really take what seemed impossible and make it possible? Our God is the God of the impossible, but He expects us to do our part and pray. In Praying for the Impossible, Buddy Harrison shares from his life experiences how he petitioned his heavenly Father through prayer and saw God move on his behalf. It’s not enough to know what to pray for - we must know how to pray. Harrison effectively explains that different needs require different types of prayer, and each has it’s own guidelines. Praying for the Impossible contains solid, biblical teaching on the prayer of supplication and how we as believers can petition the Lord on our behalf. You will learn: • The value of writing your own petition to God • The different forms of prayer and how to use them • How to get your prayers answered • How to make certain your prayer is in line with God’s Word. What is your need? What is your miracle? With the life-changing principles in this prayer manual, you will find your dreams are a reality as you begin by Praying for the Impossible.

In every service, people are blessed, lifted and moved and she lovingly and courageously prays for the sick, casts out demons, and ministers with tears of compassion to hurting people. Many testify of healing and deliverance as a result of her anointed ministry. Dr. Reginald B. Cherry, M.D.: “After studying Dodie Osteen’s medical records carefully, I told her and Pastor Osteen that, considering the kind of cancer she had, they could never fully appreciate the magnitude of her healing.” Dr. Richard W. Walker, M.D. “As a member of Lakewood Church since 1979, I’ve known Dodie Osteen before her illness, during her illness, and after her healing. I have personally witnessed God’s miracle power in her life.” Dr. D.L. Moore, M.D. “I reviewed all of Dodie’s reports, and I must tell you that knowing all the doctors and having seen all the tests and x-rays has made a tremendous impact on me. It is one thing to read about miracles, but another to watch one happen.”

Operation Outcry -Sidewalk DARKNESS All-New Film in Hugely Successful Franchise Lands in Theaters March 30, 2018 counseling at abortion centers works Pure Flix Announces Theatrical Release Date For GOD’S NOT DEAD: A LIGHT IN
Starring David A.R. White, John Corbett, Shane Harper, Ted McGinley, Jennifer Taylor, and Tatum O’Neal
SCOTTSDALE, Ariz., Dec. 19, 2017 / PRNewswire/ -- PURE FLIX, the leading independent faith and family film studio, announces the completion of principal photography for GOD’S NOT DEAD: A LIGHT IN DARKNESS, scheduled to release in theatres next Easter on March 30, 2018. Filmed on location in Little Rock, Arkansas, GOD’S NOT DEAD: A LIGHT IN DARKNESS stars David A.R. White (GOD’S NOT DEAD), Emmy Award® and Golden Globe® nominee John Corbett (MY BIG FAT GREEK WEDDING), Shane Harper (GOD’S NOT DEAD), Ted McGinley (Married with Children), Jennifer Taylor (Two and a Half Men), and Academy Award® winner Tatum
O’Neal (PAPER MOON). Additional cast includes Emmy Award® winner Gregory Alan Williams, Mike C. Manning, Samantha Boscarino, rap artist Shwayze, Jennifer Cipolla, and music legend Dr. Cissy Houston. Reprising their roles from GOD’S NOT DEAD are actors Shane Harper (“Josh”) and Benjamin Onyango (“Reverend Jude”). GOD’S NOT DEAD: A LIGHT IN DARKNESS is an inspirational drama that centers on Pastor Dave (David A.R. White) and the unimaginable tragedy he endures when his church, located on the grounds of the local university, is burned down. But his dreams of rebuilding the church face an unexpected setback when university officials reject his plans to rebuild, de-
termining that the church is no longer relevant in today’s society. Trusting in the motto that he has lived by that “God is good all the time,” Pastor Dave enlists the legal help of his estranged brother Pearce (John Corbett), who is an attorney but also an atheist. As they partner together for a united cause, the brothers come to understand that not every victory requires defeating the opposition, and there is a greater win when you heal and rebuild with compassion and respect for others. “Audiences have continued to show support and interest in the GOD’S NOT DEAD films and their relatable characters who endure similar challenges in their personal faith and lives,” says Michael Scott, Pure Flix founding partner. “Our hope is that these films offer entertainment and encouragement, with a starting point for sharing faith in a respectable and compassionate manner.” GOD’S NOT DEAD: A LIGHT IN DARKNESS is the latest addition in the film franchise, which started with GOD’S NOT DEAD, the highest-grossing independent faith film of 2014, taking in more than $60 million at the box office. GOD’S NOT DEAD: A LIGHT IN DARKNESS is Directed by Michael Mason and Produced by David A.R. White, Michael Scott, Brittany Yost, Elizabeth Travis, and Alysoun Wolfe, and Executive Produced by Troy Duhon and Robert Katz. Moviegoers can follow the film on the official web site at www.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 13, 2017 /Christian Newswire/ -- Operation Outcry and The Justice Foundation filed a Supreme Court Amicus brief including the testimony of Cynthia Collins and 10 women of Operation Outcry, in Case No. 17-689, Andrew March v. Janet T. Mills, as Attorney General of Maine, et al. The issue in this case is whether a preacher should be allowed freedom of speech to preach against abortion on a sidewalk outside the abortion facility. Operation Outcry, a ministry of The Justice Foundation, has collected approximately 4,500 written testimonies of women traumatized by abortion in their past, who are now bravely breaking silence. Here are some quotes from this Supreme Court Brief: “Those who stand on the sidewalks have helped many women who did not know there was help to have their baby or that anyone cared. ... It might have saved me years of suffering depression, guilt, miscarriage, medical problems conceiving. I carried trauma into my marriage relationship.” Cynthia Collins “Since January 1973, millions of women like myself have come to regret their abortions. How I wish there had been someone to counsel me before the appointment to abort.” Myra Jean Myers “If someone had stopped me entering that abortion clinic with my sister and Mom and told us the impact of abortion complications, risk factors and fetal development and gave us other options, I would never have chosen abortion or suffered so much pain and grief of losing six babies. I completely support sidewalk counseling in front of abortion clinics.” Nona Ellington. For more info, Contact: info@txjf.org
