A Raging Lunatic

-
“I can’t say I’ve never thought about quitting this work. I think about going home to be with my family. But there’s always this voice in the back of my head, and it’s no still small voice. This thing is a raging lunatic – and it says: 
‘You coward. COWARD. You want to go live in peace, while babies are being ripped apart limb from limb?’” - Sam Riley

 The Justice Ride was ending. Tears came to my eyes as I listened to my friend Sam give the most convicting call to action I’d ever heard from a pro-life speaker. (quote above)

 I thought about the 40 students in the room. In a year from now how many of them will still be burdened for the plight of babies scheduled to be brutally ripped apart inside their mother’s womb? 

As the good Samaritan showed mercy to the beating victim in Luke 10, I pray that our students and all believers in Christ will seek to follow the command “Go and do likewise” (Luke 10:37) by showing mercy to and speaking up for our preborn neighbors.

 Our summer interns are now here! Pray that they will grow in the Lord as they finish out our internship program, and if you can, join us in Columbus for the graduation to hear more stories like these!

Comments from our Justice Riders:
“Created Equal has the best pro-life apologists in the anti-abortion field. They encourage the next generation to not only be pro-life but to have a consistent lifestyle that should go with the anti-abortion stance.” -Xavier

 “Created Equal is a very helpful for learning how to convince the public that abortion is murder. They are serious about ridding America of this evil, and so they really put their all into what they do.” -Joy

 Conversations from the Justice Ride: 
“Wow, I don’t know how I didn’t see this before. You put up a good argument!”  
“Would you say your minds are changed?” asked Justice Rider David.
“Yeah, you switched them for us!” Two ladies in Cleveland, OH

 Robert: “At least one person is going to impacted today because of you guys out here. I took my wife to the clinic where she was going to have an abortion. But there were people with signs out there and I left immediately with her.”
Justice Rider: “Was it the pictures [of what abortion does] that changed your mind?”

Robert: “Yes, that is what changed my mind. It was the best decision of my life because of people like you!”

Curing Misconceptions About Abortion

“ Thank you for clearing it up, because there were a lot of misconceptions I had about abortion .”   – Travis, Eastern Kentucky University Bystanders see what abortion does to the preborn babies on our JumboTron TV while they overhear our conversations. Travis first said he was kind of indifferent on the issue of abortion. I was able to share some information with him, and ask if he had any questions.  “I think you’re really starting to clear up everything about it… you covered it pretty good.”   As we shook hands and he walked away, he said:  “ Thank you for clearing it up, because there were a lot of misconceptions I had about abortion.”  My colleague Sam winsomely draws protesters in conversation everywhere we go – he’s like a magnet for our opposition – and they listen! This month I joined our travelling team on the road in Kentucky for three days, and had some great conversations. I know many of you are not able to join us during an out...

A Crazy Week in Washington

“…And such were some of you.” I Cor. 6:11 These words went through my mind, and I turned away from the rest of our team as tears began to drip down my face. I was thinking of how merciful God has been to me, the redemption I have experienced, and how lavishly He has poured out His grace on me.  This took place while our team was in D.C. at the Women’s March on Washington. After a turbulent day of outreach, we were heading out and our group had stopped to let the rest of our team catch up with us. As I looked across the masses, one thing that they all had in common struck me: they were all hurt and without hope of healing.  It started to make sense: their anger, violence, and hatred. They are a lost people, reacting to their wounds in the only way they know how. Christ is our healer, and people without Christ are also without healing. Upon this realization, I’m increasingly challenged to reach out to the hurting/wounded people around me and share the hope that we have in ou...

December 2016 - Reflection

This month I have been reflecting over what has happened in 2016, and the best word that comes to mind is: blessed . I’m blessed with an amazing family. I’m blessed with a job that I am not only passionate about, but also one that I love. I’m blessed with like-minded colleagues who love each other – they really have become some of the best friends I have. I am blessed with a Godly team of friends who stand with me, pray for me, and donate to support my work. I am humbled. Back in December of 2015, God was preparing my heart to move away from home to Columbus to do His work with Created Equal. Since then I have grown so much personally--in my walk with God, in my faith, in my ability to defend my beliefs, and many other ways. One opportunity I’ve had to share Christ was when I approached a homeless man at a laundromat. He had been using the laundromat phone to call someone and was telling them that he was going to turn himse...
