Operation Rescue® is one of the leading pro-life Christian activist organizations in the nation and has become the voice of the pro-life activist movement in America. Its activities are on the cutting edge of the abortion issue, taking direct action to restore legal personhood to the pre-born and stop abortion in obedience to biblical mandates.
Please join us in thanksgiving to God for the birth of Jacob, the fifth child of Operation Rescue President Troy Newman and his wife, Mellissa. He weighed in at 9 pounds and is 21 inches long. “Big Jake” was born at 12:17 AM on Sunday, November 13, 2005, amid rejoicing family and friends. Mother and child are both doing very well.
“Sons are a heritage from the LORD, children a reward from him.” -Psalm 127:3

The pro-life movement will just our multiply the radical left. The anti-life crown are killing theirselves.
Congratulations Troy and Melissa!!!!

This must be the week for prolife births.
Tim and Terry Palmquist recieved their Esther Rose and Pastor Matt and Clara recieved God’s 10th gift to them in Priscilla-Joann Ladysmith Trewhella.
Details on Esther Rose Palmquist and birth experience…
http://palmquists.glorifyjesus.com/esther/
Excerpt:
“Esther Rose Palmquist was born at the LifeHouse at 7:06 pm on Tuesday, November 15, 2005. She weighed exactly 10 pounds, her head measured 15″ around and her length was exactly 22″.”
“We chose the name “Esther Rose” because we believe that just as God appointed the biblical Esther “for such a time as this” (Esther 4:14), God has a special plan to fulfill in our Esther’s life. The rose is a pro-life symbol, so Rose seemed to be an appropriate middle name, expressing our prayer that Esther’s life could somehow be effective in saving the lives of our nation’s helpless unborn children just as the biblical Esther was effective in saving the lives of the Jews who were threatened with destruction.”
From: Pastor Matt Trewhella
“My wife Clara gave birth to our tenth child this week. We had a little girl which means we now have five sons and five daughters. We named her Priscilla-Joann Ladysmith Trewhella. We named her Priscilla after the woman in the Bible and gave her the blessing of living a life of full of good works and of faithful service to our Savior and King, Jesus Christ. We named her Joann after one of our mid-wives who has helped us deliver the last six children, and after her aunt Joann. Ladysmith is a town in South Africa where a major battle was fought during the Boer War. The Boers, who were defending their homes against the British, won the battle. We named her in honor of the men who fought there in defense of their homes. (Ladysmith is also a nice pistol made by Smith & Wesson, and we pray she will be a little pistol for the Lord). We thank Him for her and pray He is glorified through her life!”
The future looks bright with prolifers adding to the fight for life.
Poor proaborts will become extinct if they keeping killing their children.
while we certainly rejoice that Christians are enlarging their large families, we are also saddened that the prisoners of Christ spent another year away from their families. the holiday season can be rough on the children of the prisoners. steve jordi has 4, micheal griffin, shelly shannon,vincent whitaker have 2,greg holt has 1,leland smart has no children, but has a nephew and brother he would love to be able to see. eric rudolph also has many family members. james kopp and don benny anderson may be deprived of the right to have children because of the lenghty sentences they recieved. ricky lee mcdonald and brian charles need prayer for their families. please remember those that are incarcated as they struggle so. often their families are overlooked.
Thank goodness he looks like his mom!
Blessings,
Denny
Ha! Denny- You are a riot!
May God bless you and Ruthy similarly and have #10 take after mom. And soon. It would be scary to see a beared baby…… ;-)
God bless you brother.
Come back and let us know when your latest gift from God (#10) is delivered too. I am praying for you both.
