Sanctity of Life Sunday
January 20, 2002
Nancy Heston presented
FAWNN Ministry
at church
Sanctity of Life,
it means
Life
is precious,
Life
is holy, and
Life
belongs to God.
I introduce to you today a new ministry,
FAWNN.
The acronym, F - A - W - N - N, stands
for –
Friends
of Aborted
Women
are Needed
Now!
Babies have no choice
for their future as they lay innocently in their mother’s womb. Over
5,000 times a day here in America, babies loose their lives through Satan’s
manipulation, deceit, and power to destroy. His influence over abortionists,
clinic workers, and so called counselors has been perfected for now 29
years [31 years in 2004] to a grand scale of 1,500,000 abortions
every year.
|
Concerning the moms
~ some of them elect to abort their babies,
~ some are coerced,
~ others are intimidated,
~ some are bribed;
~ while other women/teens are shamed
into having an abortion.
|
| There
are even some women/teens who are forced to have abortions after they
have changed their minds - wanting to leave the abortion
place. |
Then there is the aftermath of abortions.
My two abortions over
25 years ago kept me isolated even while sitting in a church pew faithfully
every Sunday for 14 years.
As God began to heal
me and pull me into creating this ministry, He brought me into a closer
relationship with Him.
|
God caused me
- to crave understanding Him,
- to learn, and
- to study the Bible.
God helped me yield to Jesus as my Lord.
|
It is Jesus who has taken away
my shame and guilt.
He has forgiven me
for all my sins
and helped me to accept
that forgiveness.
In the Book of Colossians, Paul says –
"The Father hath delivered us from
the power of darkness, and hath
translated us into the Kingdom of
His dear Son [Jesus];
in whom
we have redemption through His blood
even the forgiveness of sins." |
For HIs glory, I know
God desperately wants to reach other women who have had abortions. He
wants them to know His mighty love, because only God can wash away
shame, and guilt, and pain, and anger, and sin.
Another
facet of Sanctity of Life is to understand that Life
is too precious to just be in man’s hands.
I wonder if we have failed to imagine
the picture in eternity?
As we listen to part of one song which
has been
composed for FAWNN’s Future Website. . .
remember that
|
THE
Beauty and Grace of God
is that He preserves
what abortion has destroyed –
. . . . . The Babies . . . . .
|
 |
|
God holds
these babies
tenderly in Heaven . . .
an
estimated
When I imagine myself entering Heaven,
I hear many of these babies asking me,
"Why didn't you
bring my mommy
to Heaven with you?" |
Can you hear
those
babies
asking
you
this
same question?
At the heart of the ministry
of FAWNN is our desire for the Holy Spirit to draw these moms, young and
old, to salvation through Jesus Christ.
FAWNN’s website will link to
Healing
Hearts Ministries.
Through this sister ministry,
these moms will be discipled
by women who know Jesus
as their Lord and Savior;
women who have,
themselves,
experienced abortion
and have been healed
by the
power of our Living God. |
It will be the churches,
across America, which also will be receiving these women and teenage girls
as they receive salvation through Christ Jesus.
The
question is,
will your
church be ready?
Will
your church
welcome
them
with
open arms?
|
Remember,
if these moms
never meet Jesus
while on this earth
they will
perish
in
hell
for
eternity!

Here's how you can help!
