International Evangelist Who Had An Abortion Met Her Baby In Heaven

by Christa
written by Christa

An international evangelist had an abortion before she knew of Jesus Christ. She has since experienced heaven and the Presence of God, and had an encounter where she met her baby boy.

International Evangelist

Jacqui Ford runs an Evangelism Ministry, Heaven’s Harvest, where she trains believers in evangelism to partner with heaven in the end times harvest. She has spoken and equipped churches across the globe and has seen over a million lives saved in Jesus.

But before she became the woman God called her to be, she lived a hard life.

When she was still a teenager, her parents divorced after being saved. As a result, Jacqui went into an identity crisis. She felt unprotected, meaningless, and vulnerable.

Thus, she started looking for love in the wrong places.

Jacqui did drugs, went to parties, and entered into toxic relationships until she eventually found herself pregnant and decided to have an abortion.

Her life just got worse as she suffered depression and suicidal thoughts. She knew demons were oppressing her but did not know what to do.

God encounters

One day, she went to a beach to end her life. But first, she uttered a wholehearted prayer. She said, “God if You are really real, if You actually exist, You need to come right now.”

Jacqui never thought that God would hear her prayer. Suddenly, one woman approached her and gave her a yellow flower. She turned to look for the one who gave her the flower, but the woman had disappeared.

She later knew that it was an angel sent by God to tell her that He was near.

Since then, Jacqui has given her life to Jesus. She found her time with God her most peaceful moments, so every opportunity she gets, she worships God.

And her experiences with God have been supernatural. But even so, Jacqui was ashamed of the abortion.

One day, God set her free from shame when He let her see her baby boy in heaven.

“He’s with Jesus. And the Lord started healing my heart because I never thought that that child would have got the love that I would have given that child. It was so beautiful.”

Today, Jacqui continues to “preach the uncompromised Gospel and imparts empowering boldness to manifest the Kingdom.”

Pregnant Drug Addict Mom Opted For Abortion, Until She Found Christ

by Christa
written by Christa

Kailee Perrin was a drug addict and pregnant with a drug dealer’s baby. She knew they were unsuitable for raising a baby, so she chose abortion. But God had better plans for Kailee and her baby.

Dysfunctional Home

Kailee grew up in a dysfunctional home, with parents heavily involved in drugs and alcohol. Being a firsthand witness to the dangers of drug abuse and alcoholism, Kailee determined not to go the same path. But her determination was not enough.

When she was still an eighth-grader, she tried smoking pot after her peers urged her to. And then, she tried alcohol when she turned thirteen, and drugs and immoral living followed.

Kailee’s mom wanted her to change for the better, so she underwent counseling and therapy groups. It made her sober since.

Then, they moved to New York, hoping to have a better life. There, Kailee met the one who would become the father of her baby, Kirk.

Pregnant Drug Addict

Apparently, Kirk was a drug dealer. Kailee described the first stage of their relationship as “daily bouts of drinking and drugs.” And when she was 18 years old, Kailee got pregnant.

“I was in no shape to give birth or care for a child,” she recalled. “I was 18 and heavily addicted, with no car, no job, and no money.”

Kirk was also unprepared to become a parent, so he gave Kailee money to get an abortion. But, deep down, Kailee wanted to keep the baby.

In an unprecedented event, Kailee’s mom met a stranger and handed her an address and number for a crisis pregnancy center. Kailee thought that the center offered abortions, so they went without knowing that they provided the opposite instead.

She learned about the process of birth and life. The counselor also shared her testimony of getting pregnant at 17, but she kept the baby after receiving Jesus Christ.

It inspired Kailee, and then she decided to keep the baby. Amazingly, Kirk found the courage and gave up his life on drugs. He looked for a proper job and decided to be a father to their child.

With support from her parents, she went through rehab. And then, on October 8, she gave birth to a healthy baby girl, Preslee Olivia.

Surrendering to Christ

But after two years, Kailee relapsed into drinking and smoking. She figured that the baby would not fill the void in her life. After all, she still did not surrender her life to Christ.

One night, Kailee lay on the floor and asked God for forgiveness. The heavy weight of addiction was lifted, and she knew she was made new.

Since then, she has never touched alcohol or drugs. Kirk has also surrendered his life to Jesus.

Today, Kailee enjoys sharing her testimony in crisis pregnancy centers and helps women with abusive families, addictions, and unplanned pregnancies.

A Single Mother Knew Sheā€™d Regret Having An Abortion: “Life Was the Choice”

by Le-Jovale Vallejo
written by Le-Jovale Vallejo

A single mother knew she would regret it if she chose to abort her baby. Everyone was telling her to do it, but she did otherwise.

Single Mother, Whitney McCluskey

Though Whitney met God earlier in her life, she was introduced to drugs when she was a teenager and started using at the age of 14. Sometimes, she would even attend church while high on drugs.

“My drug of choice was everything. The older I got, the worse the drug got,” she said. “Towards the end of my addiction was meth and heroine, and I was on the needle. That was towards the end. It got to that point.”

Having experienced firsthand how drugs couldnā€™t fill and mend her heart and soul, she started seeking and pleading to God for deliverance.

“I remember telling God Iā€™m tired of looking left and right. Iā€™m tired of seeking validation from drugs, and from men, and from everything but You,” Whitney recalled. “I knew that people could be set free because Iā€™d seen it around me. I knew people could do it but it hadnā€™t happened for me. And so I was mad. I was angry. Why hadnā€™t this happened for me?

“Why hadnā€™t I been set free?”

“Thatā€™s when God, He spoke to me, and He said, “Whitney you are so beautiful, and I have always been in pursuit of your heart.” And I put my hands over my heart and I felt these vibrations. I said, “God what are you doing?” And He said, “Iā€™m mending your broken heart and Iā€™m making you whole again.” I just knew that I felt loved, and I felt special and I felt, I just felt different. It was that one moment that changed everything for me.””

Josiah

A new life in Christ with her firstborn son, Ashton, was all Whitney could ask for. She thrived as a single mother. She became sober during her fourth stint at a residential Christian drug treatment center, where she also obtained a master’s degree in biblical counseling.

But one incident changed the life she tried so hard to rebuild.

Her ex got her pregnant.

“I was doing exactly what I wanted to do. Doing what I had prayed for. I was helping women get their children back who had lost them from a drug addiction. And so I was doing everything I wanted,” Whitney told Baptist Press. “Then one night, out of the blue, I called an ex and well, ended up pregnant.

“I was so depressed when I found out, because I felt I had let so many people down. Here I am. Iā€™m sober, sharing my testimony. Iā€™m living for God. And then I make one mistake,” Whitney said. “I wouldnā€™t say itā€™s a mistake now, because obviously we got Josiah out of it and I wouldnā€™t change anything for the world. But the way I was thinking in that moment was I messed up.”

Whitney didnā€™t know if she could be a single mother to two kids. Many people were telling her to abort her baby, but she said, “No matter what decision I made, life was the choice.”

Josiahā€™s Adoption

Whitney made the decision to place her infant for adoption via Lifeline Children’s Services, a Christian adoption and foster care organization with a history of defending human life both domestically and abroad.

Whitney believes that her choice of adoptive parents, Mike and Tabitha, was guided by God. Normally, Lifeline selects the adoptive family.

“It was funny because when I first started looking at Lifeline and looking at families, I saw this one family and I said, ā€˜If I choose to adopt, this is who Iā€™m going to go with,ā€™” Whitney said. “Nine months later, not knowing they were still going to be available, they were. The way God just worked it all out, it was all in His hands. The whole thing was just God.”

How A Man Conceived In Rape And Adopted By Christians Inspired Thousands

by Lauren Koch
written by Lauren Koch

In a powerful speech delivered January 20th at the 50th annual March For Life Rally, Mark Roepke, a man conceived in rape, shared the story of his life and conception.

Raised by a loving Christian family, he expressed gratitude for the upbringing gifted to him.

Mark learned what abortion was after asking his father as a young child. Shaken by it, he emotionally expressed: “To know that people were killing their children because they were inconvenient horrified me.”

Man conceived in rape emphasizes his right to be alive

“The circumstances of my conception do not determine my worth as a human being. I am pro-life for the whole life. God bless you all and thank you for coming” Roepke concluded his statement.

The March For Life rally takes place in Washington, D.C. each year. Read more about it here.

China’s Population Is Shrinking: Experts Concerned For Global, Long-Term Impact

by GOD TV
written by GOD TV

For the first time in six decades, China’s population is shrinking more than three times that of the U.N.’s prediction from 2019.

On January 17th, The Chinese National Bureau of Statistics announced the first population decline since the early 1960s.

The UN forecasts that Chinaā€™s population will decline from 1.426 billion this year to 1.313 billion by 2050 and below 800 million by 2100

Experts expect India to surpass China for the most populous country. Many predict it’s population already at 1.4 billion.

Declining birth rates: China’s population is shrinking

Last year, China’s birth rate was 6.77 births per 1,000 people, which is down from the rate of 7.52 births in 2021.Ā According to this pew research, China is in the top countries with the most skewed birth rates. Typically, there are just about as many man as women across the world. But due to a preference for male children, in addition to the one-child policy enacted in 1980-2015,Ā  the country has an exceptionally high sex-selective abortion rate. This attributes 50% of the world’s “missing females” to China between 1970 and 2020. The gender imbalance has naturally contributed to fewer families being formed, and subsequently, fewer children.

While the birth of new babies is shrinking across China, the elderly population continues to climb.

Chinese state media claims China will be considered a “severely aging society” by 2035.

Experts already anticipate the population decline to contribute to global industrial impact. With fewer children born, there are fewer future workers.

“China’s demographic and economic outlook is much bleaker than expected. China will have to adjust its social, economic, defense and foreign policies,” Chinese demographer Yi Fuxian claimed in this Reuters article.

He added that the country’s shrinking labour force and downturn in manufacturing heft would further exacerbate high prices and high inflation in the United States and Europe.

Former Abortionist Made Horrific Mistake During Surgery, Tells The Danger Of Abortion

by GOD TV
written by GOD TV

Dr. Anthony Levatino went from committing over 1,200 abortion procedures to becoming a Pro-life activist.

In a podcast interview with Christine Yeargin, Levantino details a horrific mistake made on the surgical table. Without the assistance of a colleague, and the sterile availability of an operating room, this woman’s life could have been at risk.

“I reached in with that clamp and I looked at the arm pulled out and stopped. After all those years and all those abortions, for the first time in my career I looked, I mean I really looked at that pile of body parts. And I didn’t see her wonderful right to choose. And I didn’t see what a great doctor I was helping her with her problem, and I didn’t even see the $2,300 cash I just made in 15 minutes. All I could see was someone’s son or daughter. And that was the beginning of the end for me.”

God transformed abortionist

Later in the interview, Levantino describes abortionists who quit their jobs due to disgust and hopelessness that procedures entailed.

He also shared a story of a Pro-Life activists who prayed for the abortionists in her town. One man in particular, she prayed for by name, including his wife and children. After speaking at a local high-school, the abortionist’s daughter came home to share the presentation details to her parents: “I just don’t understand how a doctor could do that to a baby,” the girl remarked. Little to her knowledge, her own father was an abortionist. Afraid his daughter would find out what he did, he quit his job.

“She prayed for the abortionist, his wife, and children for months and months by name,” Levantino remarked. “And God used her to witness to her own father.”

God Intervenes When Christian Mother Opts For Abortion From Fear

by Christel Berns
written by Christel Berns

A Christian mother opted to have an abortion for fear of being unprepared. But God sent someone to stop her and protect her son.

Couple Unprepared To Have A Baby

As a believer, Lauren never thought it would enter her mind that she would consider having an abortion. It started when stressful events began to unfold in her marriage with her husband, David.

The couple knew that having a baby was a blessing. But when they discovered they were pregnant, they just didnā€™t feel ready because of their unlikely situation. Instead of rejoicing, both felt burdened with the news.

Contemplating Having An Abortion

After finding out about her pregnancy, Lauren cried uncontrollably. And hours later, she hid in a bathtub because of a tornado near their home. After the unfortunate dealings, Lauren decided not to keep the baby. To her understanding, they werenā€™t prepared to welcome a child as with all the bad things that had happened. Moreover, her husband lost his job when COVID hit.

Despite their Christian faith, the couple felt overwhelmed that opting for abortion entered their thoughts. By then, Lauren began to isolate herself from her Christian mom and friends. She didnā€™t want to share about it, fearing they would judge her. Shame and guilt then started to overwhelm the pregnant mom.

God Sends Someone

While contemplating her decision, Lauren reached out to somebody from the local Pregnancy Care Center. Her initial plan was to have someone to talk to after going through an abortion. But that one-hour conversation with a counselor named Rachel helped her change her mind.

MOTHER GIVES BIRTH TO BABY WITHOUT HEARTBEAT, 23 MINUTES LATER A MIRACLE HAPPENED

Soon, Lauren realized that ending her babyā€™s life was wrong. She recalled, ā€œWhy would this innocent life just be taken because I donā€™t feel like Iā€™m ready? Is that a reason enough for abortion?ā€

Nine months later, Lauren gave birth to a healthy baby boy. And the mother never regretted her decision to keep him.

Atheist Abortion Provider Becomes A Christian After Making A Deal With God

by Christel Berns
written by Christel Berns

An atheist abortion provider made a deal with God during a difficult moment in his life. God answered and he became a Christian.

The Job Of An Atheist Abortion Provider

In a YouTube podcast interview with CBN News’ Billy Hallowell, former abortion provider Dr. Vansen Wong of Sacramento, California, shared his life testimony.

At first, Billy participated in abortions for a practical reason, to earn money. That’s why he performed hundreds of abortion operations for years just doing his job. The doctor didn’t know what he was doing was wrong. To him, he was merely “providing a service” to women who wanted it. The doctor perceived it as helping these women.

One of the procedures Vansen learned was dilation and curettage (D&C). Abortion doctors first assess the baby’s status inside the mother’s womb to know how they would remove the forming baby.

“Because if you’re wrong and either she’s not pregnant in the uterus or if she’s too far along, bad things can happen,” he explained.

Doctor Vansen emphasized how it could lead to complications if abortion doctors wrongly assessed these women. Also, he could empathize with these women because he had two relationships with women who went through abortion too.

Making A Deal With God

Vansen and his family attended church, but his values didn’t coincide with valuing an unborn baby’s life. At first, he never really understood until he faced adversity that made him challenge God.

The state reviewed Vansen’s medical license and bargained with God about his situation.

“That possibility led me to try to make a bargain with God,” he recounted. “You see, because we had started our family, got a new home in a nice neighborhood, and if I’m not a doctor, I’m not making any money. What’s going to happen to us financially and socially? And how do I tell my friends and relatives what has happened?”

“I prayed that ‘God, if you can get me through this mess, I’ll be yours.’ And so that’s how I became a Christian,” he added.

Furthermore, a preaching in church convinced Vansen as the Holy Spirit convicted him about the Word. He realized that performing abortion procedures were indeed “barbaric” and “wrong.”

“The body parts were smaller for me, but the act and the effect on that little baby was just as barbaric,” he shared. “And so, it was at that point that I realized that abortion was no longer something I should be participating in.”

Woman Pressured By FiancĆ©e To Get Abortion Stands For Life After Hearing God, ā€˜Do Not Do Itā€™

by Christel Berns
written by Christel Berns

A woman pressured by her fiancĆ©e to get an abortion to end their pregnancy stands for life after hearing God, ā€œdo not do it. I will be here.ā€

Longing For Love

Tiffany longed for love, care, and support from her mother growing up. For that reason, when she met a guy who showed his care for her during her teen years, it made her feel good. Soon, they dated, and her boyfriend invited her to their church. Apparently, the guyā€™s parents were the pastors of the church. So, she began attending church, and thatā€™s where she learned about Jesus.

Then after eight months in Tiffanyā€™s relationship with her boyfriend, the guy proposed. But soon, she discovered how their relationship created a division between her boyfriend and his parents. Their relationship got rocky and worsened when they found out Tiffany was pregnant.

Pressured To Get An Abortion

After talking it out, Tiffany and her fiancĆ©e decided to hide her pregnancy and abort the baby. Because the guy couldnā€™t stand to face his parents with what happened. Soon, the couple made an appointment with Planned Parenthood for an abortion. At the time, she also grew distant towards God because she knew deep inside that their decision was wrong. But as their scheduled appointment drew near, God began to change her heart.

Then the appointed day came, and Tiffany decided to keep the baby. As she was in front of the abortion clinic inside the car, she could hear God telling her not to do it.

ā€œDo not do this. I will be here,ā€ God told her.

So, she bravely told her fiancĆ©e about her final decision to keep their baby, and he was angry. But because he couldnā€™t do anything, he just let her go. They then went to a clinic for an ultrasound and saw their precious baby.

What happened next in Tiffanyā€™s life after choosing to keep her baby deeply broke her heart. But God soon redeems it with His great love.

Suicidal Woman Who Regretted Abortion Met Jesus After Reading A Christian Book

by Christel Berns
written by Christel Berns

A suicidal woman who regretted going through abortion met Jesus after reading a Christian book that changed her life.

Longing For Love

Kimberly Smithers had an unhappy childhood. She had parents who constantly abused her physically and verbally while growing up. Such a painful experience made her think that she was not worthy. Soon, her parents separated, which forced her to be under a foster care system.

During high school, Kimberly met a guy she fell in love with. The relationship became her source of love and affection. Her boyfriend got her pregnant at 15. But it wouldn’t be long before they broke up. And soon, she would entrap herself, jumping from one relationship to another just to satisfy her longing for love and acceptance.

Abortion

Every time Kimberly broke up with a guy, she would get violent. Because each one of them didn’t meet her expectations to fill the void in her heart. Until one day, she got pregnant again with her new boyfriend. However, her drug-addicted partner didn’t want the baby. So, she went through with an abortion, which became her life’s breaking point. She felt devastated and regretted it. To forget the pain, she started doing drugs with her boyfriend.

Discovering Jesus In A Christian Book

Seven years later, Kimberly almost met her death in a club because of a rival gang. That’s where she pleaded with God for her life. Kimberly survived that ordeal; however, it stirred something in her heart to closely examine her life. So, she began seeking the truth about the real meaning of life.

Later on, Kimberly sought help through self-help books. She then discovered a book she couldn’t ignore, which she didn’t know at the time was a Christian book. As Kimberly dove into the book’s pages, she discovered about Jesus. That’s when she felt something had changed in her life. Her cravings for drugs suddenly disappeared.

As Kimberly continued to seek the truth about Jesus, she finally gave her heart to Christ one day. Watch what God did!
