Calvary Chapel ABQ in New Mexico is stepping up in a big way. Pastor Eric Lamb shares his vision and motivation behind the Pro-Life Movement “9 Months.” This movement is bigger than Calvary Chapel ABQ and must be achieved by the Christian community standing together and utilizing our collective resources to oppose the injustice of abortion and minister to the women and couples in need.

By Bud Shaver As we step out in faith onto a sidewalk outside an abortion clinic I am continually amazed and inspired. I am learning more about God’s ability to move through his body and his power that is exercised through prayer. This week on Wednesday, the first day of 40 Days For Life, there was a larger than usual presence of people united with a common love and urgency to minister to the women, babies, and families going into the late-term abortion clinic Southwestern Women’s Options (SWO). My friend and faithful pro-life advocate Lorenzo reminds me every day that each day is new and that each person we encounter…

Tara, Tirzah, and I welcomed Eden Shaver into our family Friday, September 7, 2012 at 1:23am. He was 7lbs exactly and 20 5/8 inches long. He was born at home (our plan). Mom and baby are healthy and strong and doing well. We had wonderful help from a midwife and another doula/midwife in training. Thank you for your prayers, they were powerful and effective! We have truly been blessed by this precious gift, sent from above! Our hope is that Eden will live his life to be a blessing in this world by advancing God’s kingdom and serving others. That is what Eden’s name represents. Eden was where God created…

“For our struggle is not against flesh and blood…We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God!” Eph. 6:12; 2 Cor. 10:5 (No audio, If you doubt we are in a battle for hearts and minds…Check this out!) “We see [Jesus] who abhors both passivity and violence and teaches us a new way forward that is neither submission nor assault, neither fight nor flight. He shows us a way to oppose evil without mirroring it, where oppressors can be resisted without being emulated and neutralized without being destroyed.” ~Shane Claiborne (You can watch portions of our actual conversation and see how we eventually found…

This video footage was taken on August 8, 2012 out at Late-Term abortion clinic Southwestern Women’s Options www.lateterm.com This was this woman’s (and children’s) first time peacefully witnessing and offering help out at SWO! What an introduction to the hostility intolerance, and hatred from the “Pro-Choice” community! This guy admitted to being post-abortive. He was carrying around all this baggage, abortion does not just effect women and children…it also effects men! We eventually found common ground and we actually became…friends! (This is just some excerpts the actual conversation was over an hour long!) Also, there were two babies and two women saved from the horror called abortion this day! One…

Sometimes our harshest critics are fellow Christians! We are not here to make friends, but to save lives! Our ministry is Christ centered and Grace Filled! Please be gracious to us! We do save lives and change minds…everyday! We are always effective…Each and every-time we step out in Faith! Yes, we have seen the “Mountains Move!” Also, check out this post: Making Friends With Our Enemies!
