A wonderful blessing has been bestowed on the Old Colorado City Pregnancy Center!
A tabernacle was installed containing the Blessed Sacrament and will be permanently housed upstairs in the prayer chapel at the Old Colorado Pregnancy Center. The Tabernacle is a special one that can be opened for adoration of the Blessed Sacrament. It is locked, but adorers will be able to view the Blessed Sacrament by opening a main door and viewing through a glass window. All are welcome to visit Our Lord during the hours the Pregnancy Center is open. This is ideal for those who are hesitant to pray in front of the abortion clinic, but would like to pray to end abortion. (The Adoration Chapel overlooks Planned Parenthood). It is also ideal for those who pray in front of Planned Parenthood, for they know that Our Lord is just across the street in the Blessed Sacrament. This is a very unique and wonderful blessing that I don't believe has been done anywhere in the country (having an Adoration Chapel inside a Pregnancy Center). This is also an ecumenical effort since there is also a Protestant prayer chapel upstairs next to the Catholic Chapel.

The Plan
The Lord has the best plan, so prayerfully understand His ways and you will save time, money and avoid mistakes. "For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, " Plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you a hope and a future" (Jeremiah 29:11). Your primary counselor is Christ, so go to him often for insight. Do not be dismayed if your plan is delayed. God's timing reaps radical results that last.

Novena request to stop the FOCA from passing
For those of you who do not know, the Freedom of Choice Act (FOCA) is set to be signed if congress passes it on January 21-22 of 2009. If made a law then all limitations on abortion will be lifted which will result in the following:
1) All hospitals, including Catholic hospitals will be required to perform abortions upon request. If this happens Bishops vow to close down all Catholic hospitals, more then 30% of all hospitals in the United States.
2) Partial birth abortions would be legal and have no limitations.
3) All U.S. tax payers would be funding abortions.
4) Parental notification will no longer be required.
5) The number of abortions will increase by a minimum of 100,000 annually.
Perhaps most importantly the government will now have control in the issue of abortion. This could result in a future amendment that would force women by law to have abortions in certain situations (rape, down syndrome babies, etc) and could even regulate how many children women are allowed to have.
Needless to say this information is disturbing, but sadly true. As Christians, as anyone who is against the needless killing of innocent children, we must stand as one. We must stop this horrific act before it becomes a law.
The Plan :
To say a novena ( 9 days of prayer ) along with fasting starting on January 11th. For Catholics, the prayer of choice will be the rosary with intentions to stop the FOCA. For non Catholics you are encouraged to pray your strongest prayers with the same intentions, also for nine consecutive days. The hope is that this will branch and blossom as to become a global effort with maximum impact. We have very little time so we all must act fast.
Start the novena on January 11th and pray for nine consecutive days. (please also fast for at least two days during the novena)
Remember that with God all things are possible and the power of prayer is undeniable. If you are against the senseless killing of defenseless children then the time is now to do something about it!

White Crosses
Reprinted with Permission from Dan Elliot:
My boy and I were riding our bikes early this morning and came across a local church that is standing up in Brandon, displaying old whitewashed wooden crosses in memory of the 748 South Dakotan children who were aborted in 2006. Just across a very narrow stretch of road on the other side of the display is a cemetery, filled not with wooden crosses, but crosses made of stone. Most are inscribed with the date that someone came into this world, then a dash that somehow represents an entire lifetime, and finally a date that they passed on. Most are decorated and adorned with flowers, frequented stops along life's busy highway for those left behind who choose to remember and celebrate a life once lived.
There's no real difference between the wooden crosses here or the stone crosses there, except that on one side of the road, those crosses are recognized to represent people, human beings who once lived. And on the other side of the road...they aren't. One side was granted the right to life, the other wasn't. Nothing separates them or makes them any less human.
In fact these crosses on this side of the road are an offense to some people. There's no flowers, no mourner to lovingly care for their upkeep. They are so abhorred that in recent years these little crosses have been yanked out of the ground in the night and thrown in the river. Do you wonder why it is that they strike such a tender chord, why some are so unable to stand for what those crosses stand for, why they are more inclined to tear them down and throw them away rather than see them for what they represent?
So what if we could give each whitewashed cross a face? What if we could see the child behind the symbol? Would we be so quick to dismiss them then, to throw them away if we could look into their eyes? If we could hear just one of them speak, just one audible giggle, would we stand up for them?
In 2003, the year my daughter was born, there were 819 abortions in South Dakota. Today, she is 5 years old. She smiles, she cries, she laughs, she loves, she mothers over her new puppy, and she is an amazing speller. She eats up attention and she's an expert at Eskimo kisses. Today she's very excited because she gets to paint her toy horse in rainbow colors. So today we see these crosses, and hundreds of choices that were made to end the life of a child, and one child who was given another choice, a right to life, just like you. In the image below, what do you see? Do you see one child or two? Of course you see that beautiful little American girl with rights, but do you see the little boy or girl that she's holding onto, that child that wasn't given the choice?

Worthy of His Reward
Revelation 5:11-13
Then I looked, and I heard the voice of many angels around the throne and the living creatures and the elders; and the number of them was myriads of myriads, and thousands of thousands,
saying with a loud voice, "Worthy is the Lamb that was slain to receive power and riches and wisdom and might and honor and glory and blessing." And every created thing which is in heaven and on the earth and under the earth and on the sea, and all things in them, I heard saying, "To Him who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb, be blessing and honor and glory and dominion forever and ever."
Worthy is the Lamb that was slain to receive the reward of His suffering! We are His reward! The people of South Dakota are His reward! The unborn children are His reward! All of humanity is His reward! Pray that the Lord's jealousy is ignited and, for His name's sake, He takes what is rightfully His! Please pray that a revelation of the price Christ paid strikes the hearts of South Dakotans and influences the election. "To Him who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb, be blessing and honor and glory and dominion forever and ever!" Glorify the Lord!

Call to Fast!
Joel 1:14; 2:18, 25, 27
Declare a holy fast; call a sacred assembly. Summon the elders and all who live in the land to the house of the LORD your God, and cry out to the LORD. [...] Then the LORD will be jealous for His land and take pity on his people. [...] "I will repay you for the years the locusts have eaten. [...] Then you will know that I am in Israel, that I am the LORD your God, and that there is no other; never again will my people be shamed."
Please humble yourself before the Lord. Scripture calls us to fast, so fast whatever you can: meat, sweets, all foods, tv, facebook, sleep, talking, etc. Spend time at the feet of the Father crying out to Him. Call forth the jealousy of the Lord for HIS land HIS people. Claim the promise of scripture that God will repay the years the locusts have eaten and that He will prove His sovereignty through bringing restoration to the land! The Lord is longing to redeem South Dakota, but will His people humble themselves and simply ask Him to do it?

Defeated Enemies

The LORD will grant that the enemies who rise up against you will be defeated before you. They will come at you from one direction but flee from you in seven.
Please pray that the enemy rising against the unborn would be defeated, confused, and scattered. Pray that dissension arises in the camp of the enemy and that LIFE prevails!

Message from A Volunteer
I am writing this message to you because recently I've had a new realization of how significant the battle in our state is. The fate of thousands of South Dakotans, and poetentially millions of Americans, depends on our actions here with Initiated Measure 11.
The second greatest commandment is to love our neighbors. When Jesus was asked, "Who is my neighbor?" He told a parable found in Luke 10. The answer He gives is this: anyone in your reach. These unborn babies are being taken toward the slaughter--on our streets, in our cities, and in our nation. They will continue to be left to die if we don't act now.
Some of you might walk past this need. Maybe you're a leader (like the pries) and are afraid that getting involved with this controversial issue will stain your reputation. maybe you are too busy with more "spiritual" things (like the Levite) to help your unborn neighbors, and just pray that someone else will help them.
There are those of you, however, who will postpone your plans, give your precious time and hard-earned money, and say "if it isn't enough, I'll come back and give more." This is real compassion.
In 2006, we had the opportunity to end abortion in South Dakota. In a general sense, the church did not rise to the occasion. Many of us got involved, but only in prayer, and left the physical work to the "campaign people." Let us come out and rescue "the least of these" in their time of need. And as we go, let truth prevail. Let God arise and His enemies be scattered--right here and right now. And we will see what God can do with a willing, faithful people.
Thanks for your two minutes : )

You can put an add in your local paper, talk about it on your local radio stations. Raise money through your youth group or church. The possibilites are endless, let God give you creative ideas and may He bless the work of your hands.

Take No Rest
Isaiah 62:1-2,6-7
For [South Dakota's] sake I will not keep silent, for [the unborn's] sake I will not remain quiet, till her righteousness shines out like the dawn, her salvation like a blazing torch. The nations will see your righteousness, and all kings your glory; you will be called by a new name that the mouth of the LORD will bestow... I have posted watchmen on your walls, O [South Dakota]; they will never be silent day or night. You who call on the LORD, give yourselves no rest, and give him no rest till he establishes [South Dakota] and makes her the praise of the earth.

Effective Prayers
James 5:16-18 "The prayer of a righteous man is powerful and effective. Elijah was a man just like us. He prayed earnestly that it would not rain, and it did not rain on the land for three and a half years. Again he prayed, and the heavens gave rain, and the earth produced its crops."
Thank you for your prayers. They are shaking the heavens! Please keep praying for the campaign, the people of South Dakota, and the unborn!

The Power of Worship
2 Chronicles 20:21-23
After consulting the people, Jehoshaphat appointed men to sing to the LORD and to praise him for the splendor of His holiness as they went out at the head of the army, saying: "Give thanks to the LORD, for His love endures forever." As they began to sing and praise, the LORD set ambushes against the men of Ammon and Moab and Mount Seir who were invading Judah, and they were defeated. The men of Ammon and Moab rose up against the men from Mount Seir to destroy and annihilate them. After they finished slaughtering the men from Seir, they helped to destroy one another.
God used Israel's worship to 'ambush' their enemies. The result was that these enemies destroyed one another! Worship and expect the confusion to break off of South Dakota this fall and for God's enemies to be ambushed.

Remember this scripture as you continue to pray for the campaign and for the unborn in South Dakota. Pray that the opposition's tactics of deception would be exposed and that the truth would be plainly set before South Dakota. Pray that every voter's conscience would be affected by that truth.

Job 5:8-16
"But as for me, I would seek God, and I would place my cause before God; Who does great and unsearchable things, wonders without number...He saves from the sword of [the cunning]'s mouth, and the poor from the hand of the mighty. So the helpless has hope, and unrighteousness must shut its mouth."

Detestable
Proverbs 6:16
There are six things the LORD hates, seven that are detestable to him: haughty eyes, a lying tongue, hands that shed innocent blood, a heart that devises wicked schemes, feet that are quick to rush into evil, a false witness who pours out lies and a man who stirs up dissension among brothers.
Please pray that this realization would strike the hearts of South Dakotans!

Magnitude
Ezekiel 22:30 "I looked for a man among them who would build up the wall and stand before me in the gap on behalf of the land so I would not have to destroy it, but I found none."
This cannot be true for South Dakota! God is looking for people who will stand in the gap for South Dakota and cry out for repentance and mercy! Blood is on our hands, but if we build up the wall and pray, the land will not be destroyed! This goes beyond the unborn; this impacts everyone! Pray the fear of the Lord will strike South Dakota, people will realize the magnitude of this issue and that people will stand and cry out!

Where else do you have to go?
John 6:61, 65-69
But Jesus, conscious that His disciples grumbled, said to them, "Does this cause you to stumble? And He was saying, "For this reason I have said to you, that no one can come to Me unless it has been granted him from the Father." As a result of this many of His disciples withdrew and were not walking with Him anymore. So Jesus said to the twelve, "You do not want to go away also, do you?" Simon Peter answered Him, "Lord, where else do we have to go? You have alone have words of eternal life. We have believed and have come to know that You are the Holy One of God."
Rejoice and be confident that Jesus is the Holy One of God! Spend time with Him today. Where else do you have to go? He alone has words of eternal life! :)

Foundations Laid Bare
Psalm 5:1-7
Give ear to my words, O LORD, consider my sighing. Listen to my cry for help, my King and my God, for to you I pray. In the morning, O LORD, you hear my voice; in the morning I lay my requests before you and wait in expectation. You are not a God who takes pleasure in evil; with you the wicked cannot dwell. The arrogant cannot stand in your presence; you hate all who do wrong. You destroy those who tell lies; bloodthirsty and deceitful men the LORD abhors. But I, by your great mercy, will come into your house; in reverence will I bow down toward your holy temple.
The Lord abhors bloodthirsty and deceitful men! Deceit and confusion have been cornerstones for the enemy. Pray that the lies will be destroyed and foundations laid bare. Praise the Lord for hearing our cries, even in the first watch of the day!

In the morning, O LORD, you hear my voice; in the morning I lay my requests before you and wait in expectation. You are not a God who takes pleasure in evil; with you the wicked cannot dwell. The arrogant cannot stand in your presence; you hate all who do wrong. You destroy those who tell lies; bloodthirsty and deceitful men the LORD abhors. But I, by your great mercy, will come into your house; in reverence will I bow down toward your holy temple.

Unrest
1 Kings 18:16-20
So Obadiah went to meet Ahab and told him [that Elijah had come], and Ahab went to meet Elijah. When he saw Elijah, he said to him, "Is that you, you troubler of Israel?" "I have not made trouble for Israel," Elijah replied. "But you and your father's family have. You have abandoned the LORD's commands and have followed the Baals. Now summon the people from all over Israel to meet me on Mount Carmel. And bring the four hundred and fifty prophets of Baal and the four hundred prophets of Asherah, who eat at Jezebel's table." So Ahab sent word throughout all Israel and assembled the prophets on Mount Carmel. Elijah went before the people and said, "How long will you waver between two opinions? If the LORD is God, follow him; but if Baal is God, follow him."
Pray that the opposition experiences unrest in their heart and that they are troubled. Pray that the people of South Dakota are confronted with the truth and are forced to make the choice Elijah presented Israel: “If the LORD is God, follow him; but if Baal is God, follow him.” Read the rest of the chapter to see how God showed His strength and proved that He is the LORD.

Without the Lord...
Psalm 127
Unless the LORD builds the house, its builders labor in vain. Unless the LORD watches over the city, the watchmen stand guard in vain. In vain you rise early and stay up late, toiling for food to eat—for he grants sleep to those he loves. Sons are a heritage from the LORD, children a reward from him. Like arrows in the hands of a warrior are sons born in one's youth. Blessed is the man whose quiver is full of them. They will not be put to shame when they contend with their enemies in the gate.
Without the Lord as the center of the campaign, we labor in vain. Pray for direction from the Lord with every decision that is made.

Leadership
Ephesians 1:17-21
I keep asking that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the glorious Father, may give you the Spirit of wisdom and revelation, so that you may know him better. I pray also that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened in order that you may know the hope to which he has called you, the riches of his glorious inheritance in the saints, and his incomparably great power for us who believe. That power is like the working of his mighty strength, which he exerted in Christ when he raised him from the dead and seated him at his right hand in the heavenly realms, far above all rule and authority, power and dominion, and every title that can be given, not only in the present age but also in the one to come.
Pray wisdom and revelation over the leaders of the campaign.

The Lord is Sovereign
Psalm 115:1-8, 16-18
Not to us, O LORD, not to us but to your name be the glory, because of your love and faithfulness. Why do the nations say, “Where is their God?" Our God is in heaven; he does whatever pleases him. But their idols are silver and gold, made by the hands of men. They have mouths, but cannot speak, eyes, but they cannot see; they have ears, but cannot hear, noses, but they cannot smell; they have hands, but cannot feel, feet, but they cannot walk; nor can they utter a sound with their throats. Those who make them will be like them, and so will all who trust in them….The highest heavens belong to the LORD, but the earth he has given to man. It is not the dead who praise the LORD, those who go down to silence; it is we who extol the LORD, both now and forevermore. Praise the LORD.

Who may live on your holy hill?
He whose walk is blameless and who does what is righteous,
who speaks the truth from his heart
and has no slander on his tongue,
who does his neighbor no wrong and casts no slur on his fellowman,
who despises a vile man but honors those who fear the LORD,
who keeps his oath even when it hurts,
who lends his money without usury and does not accept a bribe against the innocent.

I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me.
You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies.
You anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows.
Surely goodness and love will follow me all the days of my life,
and I will dwell in the house of the LORD forever.

We have taken the blessings You have given us for granted and followed after idols of personal choice. We ignored You. Lord, forgive us for our idolatry and heal our land!
Hosea 11:1-4, 8-10
When Israel was a youth I loved him, and out of Egypt I called My son. The more they called them, the more they went from them; They kept sacrificing to the Baals and burning incense to idols. Yet it is I who taught Ephraim to walk, I took them in My arms; but they did not know that I healed them. I led them with cords of a man, with bonds of love, and I became to them as one who lifts the yoke from their jaws; and I bent down and fed them…How can I give you up, O Ephraim? How can I surrender you, O Israel? How can I make you like Admah? Ho can I treat you like Zeboiim? My heart is turned over within Me, all my compassions are kindled. I will not execute My fierce anger; I will not destroy Ephraim again. For I am God and not man, the Holy One in your midst, And I will not come in wrath. They will walk after the Lord, He will roar like a lion; Indeed He will roar and His sons will come trembling from the west.

He is my God, and I will praise him, my father's God, and I will exalt him. The LORD is a warrior; the LORD is his name. Pharaoh's chariots and his army he has hurled into the sea. The best of Pharaoh's officers are drowned in the Red Sea. The deep waters have covered them; they sank to the depths like a stone. "Your right hand, O LORD, was majestic in power. Your right hand, O LORD, shattered the enemy. In the greatness of your majesty you threw down those who opposed you. You unleashed your burning anger; it consumed them like stubble. By the blast of your nostrils the waters piled up. The surging waters stood firm like a wall; the deep waters congealed in the heart of the sea. "The enemy boasted, 'I will pursue, I will overtake them. I will divide the spoils; I will gorge myself on them. I will draw my sword and my hand will destroy them.' But you blew with your breath, and the sea covered them. They sank like lead in the mighty waters. "Who among the gods is like you, O LORD ? Who is like you—majestic in holiness, awesome in glory, working wonders? You stretched out your right hand and the earth swallowed them. "In your unfailing love you will lead the people you have redeemed. In your strength you will guide them to your holy dwelling...The LORD will reign for ever and ever."
Praise be to God for His love, faithfulness, power and victory! Starting as soon as Saturday, doctors are required to tell women seeking an abortion that the procedure will be terminating the life of a "whole, separate, unique, living human being." No longer can women be decieved by abortionists calling God's creation a "blob of tissue." God and Truth reign victorious in South Dakota and no scheme of the enemy can stand against His mighty power. "The Lord is a warrior" and He leads His redeemed with "unfailing love!"

Then Moses and the Israelites sang this song to the LORD :
"I will sing to the LORD, for he is highly exalted. The horse and its rider he has hurled into the sea. The LORD is my strength and my song; he has become my salvation. He is my God, and I will praise him, my father's God, and I will exalt him. The LORD is a warrior; the LORD is his name. Pharaoh's chariots and his army he has hurled into the sea.

Confusion in the Enemy's Camp
"During the last watch of the night the LORD looked down from the pillar of fire and cloud at the Egyptian army and threw it into confusion."
Exodus 14:24
Pray that, just as the Lord threw the Egyptian army into confusion and delivered the Israelites, He will send confusion in the camps of the enemy. This is a real war and there is a real enemy trying to oppress and destroy future generations. Pray that every attempt they make will be thwarted by the Lord and come to no avail.

God is the Solution
If God is for us, who is against us? He who did not spare His own Son, but delivered Him over for us all, how will He not also with Him freely give us all things? Who will bring a charge against God's elect? God is the one who justifies.

Prayer Warriors
Is any one of you in trouble? He should pray. Is anyone happy? Let him sing songs of praise. Is any one of you sick? He should call the elders of the church to pray over him and anoint him with oil in the name of the Lord. And the prayer offered in faith will make the sick person well; the Lord will raise him up. If he has sinned, he will be forgiven. Therefore confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous man is powerful and effective. Elijah was a man just like us. He prayed earnestly that it would not rain, and it did not rain on the land for three and a half years. Again he prayed, and the heavens gave rain, and the earth produced its crops.

Lord, Break our Hearts!
Pray for the hearts of South Dakotans to break for the innocent victoms of abortion, just as God's heart breaks.
Hosanna, by Hillsong United
I see the king of glory
Coming down the clouds with fire
The whole earth shakes, the whole earth shakes
I see his love and mercy
Washing over all our sin
The people sing, the people sing
Hosanna, Hosanna, Hosanna in the highest
I see a generation
Rising up to take the place
With selfless faith, with selfless faith
I see a new revival
Staring as we pray and seek
We're on our knees, we're on our knees
Heal my heart and make it clean
Open up my eyes to the things unseen
Show me how to love like you have loved me
Break my heart for what breaks yours
Everything I am for your kingdom's cause
As I walk from earth into eternity

Pray for Unity!
Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brothers to dwell together in unity! It is like the dew of Hermon coming down upon the mountains of Zion; For there the Lord commanded the blessing--life forever.
Psalm 133:1,3
Scripture tells us that unity commands a blessing from the Lord -- and that blessing is life! Please pray that the pro-life community becomes united in the fight against death, laying all pride aside and working together.

Trust in the Lord
Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge him and he will make your paths straight.
Proverbs 3:5,6
The Lord your God is with you, He is might to save. He will take great delight in you, He will quiet you with His love, He will rejoice over you with singing.
Zephaniah 3:17
Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more important than food, and the body more important than clothes? Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they? Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life?
And why do you worry about clothes? See how the lilies of the field grow. They do not labor or spin. Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these. If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, will he not much more clothe you, O you of little faith? So do not worry, saying, 'What shall we eat?' or 'What shall we drink?' or 'What shall we wear?' For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them. But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.
Matthew 6:25-33
These verses all assure us that God will take care of our needs. He even delights in us! Lets agree together and pray that God will provide the resources, manpower, and funding needed to save the unborn! Pray also for discernment in how to be the best stewards possible.

On the Offensive
And I tell you, you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.
Matthew 16:18
Claim this promise! Gates are defensive weapons meant to keep things out. You will never see somebody using a gate to advance their cause. When the church is on the offensive and moving against the gates of the enemy, God promises to give victory. Pray that the church is reminded of this promise, becomes pro-active and takes the offensive position!

Prayerful Poem
"America the beautiful, or so you used to be.
Land of the Pilgrims' pride; I'm glad they'll never see.
Babies piled in dumpsters, Abortion on demand,
Oh, sweet land of liberty; your house is on the sand.
Our children wander aimlessly poisoned by cocaine
Choosing to indulge their lusts, when God has said abstain.
From sea to shining sea, our nation turns away
From the teaching of God's love and a need to always pray.
We've kept God in our temples, how callous we have grown.
When earth is but His footstool, and Heaven is His throne.
We've voted in a government that's rotting at the core,
Appointing Godless judges; who throw reason out the door,
Too soft to place a killer in a well deserved tomb,
But brave enought to kill a baby before he leaves the womb.
You think that God's not angry, that our land's a moral slum?
How much longer will He wait before His judgment comes?
What then is left for us to do, but stem this evil tide?
If we who are His children, will humbly turn and pray;
Seek His holy face and mend our evil way:
Then God will hear from heaven; and forgive us of our sins,
He'll heal our sickly land and those who live within.
But, America the Beautiful, If you don't--then you will see,
A sad but Holy God withdraw His hand from thee."
Judge Roy Moore of Alabama wrote this poem. He has been removed from the bench for refusing to take down the Ten commandments displayed on his courtroom wall. He was sued by the ACLU for this refusal and is now at risk for losing his ability to practice law in Alabama! Pray for people like Judge Moore to rise up in South Dakota--people who are willing to accept any persecution that may arise for holding firm to their beliefs! Pray for people who will stand in the gap for the unborn!

Pray For Pro Life Friend Bill Connor And His Battle Against Leukemia!
Bill Conner, a South Dakota native, came from humble beginnings, having been conceived in rape and growing up in less than perfect conditions. However, through God’s great plan and Bill’s willingness to listen, he has become a man with passion, a man with a story and the heart to openly share it. Bill was excelling through life despite his childhood as he began the American dream by getting married and having a family. Again, his life was shaped through times of despair when his son was diagnosed with cancer, and later lost the battle. Despite these struggles, God has continued to reveal His plan for Bill’s life by uniting his love for buses and his compassion for children through the Angel Bus. The Angel Bus was inspired by difficult times, providing transportation to children fighting major medical issues, allowing them the ability to get medical treatment that may not have been available to them otherwise. The Alpha Center has also been blessed through God’s plan and provision. Bill’s Angel Bus is now known as the Fleet for Little Feet, which is extension of the Alpha Center. This bus now provides the same services as the Alpha Center but has the ability to meet clients where they are at, typically in remote locations in the tri-state area. Many lives have been saved because the Fleet is there to support, encourage, and educate men and women involved in an unexpected pregnancy. There is a part to this wonderful, God-written story that you don’t know. Bill survived a bone marrow transplant that was needed after finding out he had leukemia, the same disease that took his son. Bill persisted, God provided and the cancer went into remission. However, his leukemia is back. He knows that God’s plan is always at work, yet it is hard to understand and accept. Bill is taking immediate action by seeing his doctor for further treatment. Today, Alpha Center is asking you to lift up prayers for a man that has given so much to touch countless lives for God’s glory, and his wife, Nola, who continues to support and encourage him during this time.

Be In Prayer About..."Planned Parenthood Is Coming With Out Of State Resources!"
The Northern Plains Anglicans Said It Best!
Out-of-state interests prop up South Dakota abortionists - please pray and give to help make things right here. South Dakota has a chance to make things right in November. But Planned Parenthood and other out-of-state interests will be supplying resources, out of state ringer-demonstrators and camera-ready local activists in an effort to keep abortion as a ghastly means of "birth control." Please visit http://www.voteyesforlife.com/ and familiarize yourself with the ballot measure and the lies being spread against it. Please pray for this effort to stop abortion as a means of "birth control" in South Dakota. Please, if you are able, donate to the effort. Campaigns cost money, and Planned Parenthood will be pulling in resources from its New York masters and other interests in other places. Your help will mean a great deal to the pro-life effort. from http://www.northernplainsanglicans.blogspot.com/

Pray That South Dakotans Will Value The Unborn!
Life In The Womb Is Being Devalued By Many! Even Questioning When Life Begins Is An Old Argument That Has Seen Its Best Days In The Past! How Can We Forget The Abortionist Dr. Bernard Nathanson, Who Was Responsible For 75,000 Abortions, Who Immediate Stopped His Involvement In Killing The Unborn When He Saw His First Ultrasound! South Dakotans, Pray For The Sanctity Of The Unborn!!! They Are Alive And Define LIFE!!!

National Day of Prayer
On Thursday, May 1, America will observe the 57th annual National Day of Prayer. Please plan to participate in this vitally important event! Proclamations from President George W. Bush and the governors of all 50 states will herald this landmark day, as the fervent prayers of millions of Americans in church events and public venues from coast to coast are offered before the Lord. This year's theme, "Prayer! America's Strength and Shield," reflects the words of Psalm 28:7, which states: "The Lord is my strength and shield; my heart trusts in Him, and I am helped." We hope this powerful message will not only serve as a catalyst to draw God's people closer together as we intercede corporately on behalf of our country, but that it will encourage individuals to seek the Lord's guidance for their personal concerns as well.

Fairness In Media Coverage!
Please ask for prayer that fairness be given to this campaign by everyone in the media. KELOLAND was not fair when they gave us hardly any coverage of the celebration last Sunday. Also, today SD PUBLIC RADIO set up an interview with Dr. Allen Unruh and a representative from the other side and didn’t get Dr. Unruh on the program until the other person had been on for almost 5 minutes.
