The Testimony of a Man who Found Life and a Wife on the Sidewalks of an Abortion Center

Hi, my name is David Jordan and I am a soldier in Christ's army,  One of the battles that I have faithfully been fighting for the last four years is that of the abortion holocaust which is ravaging our nation. Therefore, it's at the local abortion mill that you will find me every Saturday morning opposing that malicious will by not only trying to deliver those babies that have been appointed to death, but also by assisting my Glorious King in setting the captives free from the devil's will. This my friends is a most worthy of wars, and one that I am personally honored to serve in. 

You may be saying "good for you, but that's just not me. It's not who or where I am", and in reply I would say "not so fast". Let me give you a little background that you may understand it's not who I was either. I have overcome much in my young life. I just turned thirty-six and I was bound in drug addiction for two thirds of my life. Drugs were my life for most of my life, and though I tried to follow Jesus many times over the years, the environment I lived in and the drugs that were always there choked the seed of God's word out and I was never able to bear fruit to completion or maturity. 

The Pavkovicks, fellow sidewalk volunteers, opened their home to me a little over four years ago. They are the ones that provided me the place I needed to get rooted and grounded in the word and love of God. They are the ones that had a heart for their preborn neighbor and the women who felt that their destruction was a viable option; and they are the ones who have been faithfully trying to rescue both for many years now. 

I am a soldier on the front lines of this most important of battles, but it is not because I volunteered out of a burning desire, great conviction, or even the goodness of my heart. I was drafted into this battle, and I started going to the abortion mill out of obedience to the word of God and submission to the man of God that took me into his heart and home and showed me what life is really about. It is about the Giver of life and ensuring that all He has blessed with that most precious of gifts get to actually live. 

When I first got into this battle, I was a solitary man, one who didn't believe in abortion, but not enough to do anything about it. That wasn't real conviction or true belief... just mere mental assent; which never saved anyone. It doesn't have the power to save a soul from eternal damnation nor these little babies from the slaughter. Yet that is the state I entered this battle. The burning desire and true conviction came later. 

Don't let the lack of either keep you from this most basic and simple of commands: love your God with everything that you are and your neighbor as yourself. My life has changed so very much because of this simple act of obedience. I am no longer a solitary man; for the Lord is faithful.  I met my beautiful wife Annalise at that very same abortion mill. Annalise and I are happily awaiting our first little one ourselves. Lydia Faye is expected to join us in early August where she too will testify with her very life the goodness of our loving Father God. 

I hope to see you all, my friends, on streets paved with gold, but first come and stand with me on the sidewalks in front of the abortion clinic, buildings that conceal a great evil and those whose hands are stained with the blood of countless innocent children.

For our sake he made him to be sin who knew no sin, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God.
