(Editor's note: The notorious facility on Fulton Street performed abortions through the sixth month of pregnancy for many years. Sidewalk counselors were present every day to offer life-saving alternatives to people contemplating a decision that would end the life of their child.)

Dear Praying Friends,
It's hard to believe that 8 months has passed since Dr. Gordon has died. His wife has continued to try to sell the abortion clinic now priced at $1.25 million. From what we were able to observe there may have been only 4 or 5 interested parties. We noticed in the last couple of weeks that she may be starting to sell some of the items from inside.
Planned Parenthood on Cherry Street continues to do the abortion pill as well as first trimester surgical abortions. Several of the groups that used to be out front of the clinic on Fulton Street are present outside Planned Parenthood now. We have continued to try to find out more information about Planned Parenthood and how they function.
From our website we continue to get calls or emails from young women who are in need of help. God has supplied all of our needs for being prepared to still serve in the community.
Some have asked about our plans for the Omega House. We continue to seek God's will on that. Some ideas have been brought to our attention that we are praying about. At this point we still will hold a Surrendering the Secret Bible study in the fall for those women that have had abortions. We are reluctant, of course, to sell the house until we are 100% sure what will happen in the former abortion clinic building.
Some have also brought up the idea, if the city approved, we could actually demolish the clinic building and turn it into a beautiful green space. It would serve to honor the thousands of children aborted on that property in the last 20 years. Please pray with us about that. It would take so many in the community, with skill sets we do not have, to gather around that project and make it happen.
Please also continue to pray that the steady stream of young women that use Planned Parenthood find a listening ear and our wonderful crisis pregnancy centers instead. Pray for the Holy Spirit to move in their hearts and give them the Hope they will need to choose life for their baby. So many are eager to help!
You have all been such an incredible blessing to our ministry in the past years. We humbly seek God's guidance for His will in the days to come.
Thanking God for you all!
