Pastor Provides Compelling Evidence For Witnessing At Abortion Clinics

Galatians 6:9 NCV We must not become tired of doing good. We will receive our harvest of eternal life at the right time if we do not give up.

In a society where Christians are receiving increasing amount of condemnation for publicly standing on their faith, one church is providing compelling evidence for the power of witnessing outside of abortion clinics.

Pastor Jeff Durbin and his witnessing team from Apologia Church in Tempe, Arizona, shared a story at the opening of the 2014 Ignite Conference talking about a couple that they had approached heading into an abortion clinic.  They didn’t yell at the couple but rather calmly presented the gospel and spoke about the value that God places on all lives, including that of the couple’s unborn child.

At the conclusion of the story, a young woman walked on stage with a baby.

It was Tina, the woman who ended up walking away from the abortionist’s table and giving life to the child she was holding in her arms.

“We’re very, very grateful for them saving our baby’s life and opening our eyes,” Tina said.  “They’ve really helped us so much and changed our point of view.  If it wasn’t for them I wouldn’t have my baby.”

Pastor Durbin said Tina and her son were living testimony of the importance of bringing the Gospel into hard places and not being concerned about what the world thinks about it.

“I have an irrefutable argument about bringing the Gospel to hard places despite all the conflict,” Pastor Durbin said, pointing to Tina as she left the stage.
