Into
the Heart of San Francisco

San Francisco City College doesn't get
much attention, but our Project Truth Team was prepared to give the
students lots of attention. For two days, which turned out to be
all one would expect from the heart of wickedness, we
engaged thousands of students with the Gospel and the prolife
message.
You can imagine our surprise when
we arrived to see this quote from Scripture etched in stone at the
entrance to this college.
We now felt invited to the
battle.

The administrator
warned me that there would be trouble from the students,
and as soon as we set up our display, we were under assault.
At one point, an angry student pulled out
her lighter and started to light our display on fire. I
quickly stepped in and moved the lighter away, as she yelled out
wicked words.

We had to ask the police to do a better
job of protecting us and reminded them that we were recording all
of their actions or inaction. The cameras seemed to get
their attention.
"Give
us help from trouble, for the help of man is useless.
Through God we will do valiantly, for it is He who shall tread down
our enemies."
Psalm
60:11-12

As the opposition escalated from
some students, an incredible thing began to happen.
Out of the crowd four or five students began to gently but
boldly take on the students who were trying to stir up
trouble. These messengers sent from God
challenged the hypocrisy of their fellow students for not being
tolerant of other worldviews. They also challenged the thinking
process of those who believe it is okay to kill preborn children.
Some of the undecided students even began to defend our presence on
their campus.
God was fulfilling that promise in the
Psalms right before our eyes.
The angry students were perplexed by
their own friends standing up for us, and for two days our Project
Truth team was able to hand out over two thousand pieces of
literature and Gospel tracts with the opposition somewhat
subdued for both days. We were threatened from time to time, but
there was a spiritual shield surrounding us that gave us a freedom
to proclaim the message throughout both days.

Here is
what "an angel
among us" looks
like. I took this picture as God sent in His
protectors. This righteous man engaged a group of hostile fellow
students and did a mighty work right before our eyes. This
protector in blue stayed by our side all day.
One young lady in this group is an activist
for Planned Parenthood.
Did you notice that angels have no
hair? Just wanted you to notice.

The doors were open
wide as we engaged students and faculty alike. John presented the
reality of abortion to these three students in the
photo, and although some students told us to get out of their city,
many students, like these, were thanking us for coming to their
campus.
"You have shown Your
people hard things... You have given a
banner to those who fear You, that it may be
displayed because of the
truth. Psalm
60:3-4 (The marching orders for
Project Truth)

In this photo, Bud is explaining to an interested
group of students that medicine and science have established that
in the first trimester a human being is alive and growing inside
the mother. Therefore, abortion is the killing of that
innocent child.
The Planned Parenthood folks had set up a
table across from us. They were close enough to hear four hours
of the truth from our team. Some from their group worked up the
courage to come over and request our materials and ask some
questions. Then they went back to display their poison to the few
students who were interested in their info.
On the second day, Bud Reeves had a great
exchange with two homosexual professors who found out their preconceived
notions of Christians were flawed. Bud did not compromise, and the
professors shook his hand after the dialogue. You won't see that
on TV.

It helps when our team consists of those
like Rod who knows his creation/evolution debate skills and, like
in the photo, is baffling some evolutionists. The big guy in the
middle, who was hostile at first, eventually shook Rod's hand and
told him that he thought Rod presented a compelling
argument.

Our team is also strengthened to have
Bernard, pictured here, who is an Environmental Biologist and
evangelist trained in the "Way of the Master" witnessing program.
He is very effective when we have biology students trying to stump
us with their questions. It's fun to call Bernard over to a
skeptical biology student and have Bernard clear up the student's
misguided thinking. Bernard drives down from Redding for almost
every college we do because of his passion for outreach. He is an
important laborer in the harvest field for the presentation of the
truth.

Jesus said, "If you abide in My word, you
are My disciples indeed. And you shall know the truth, and
the truth shall make you free...whoever commits sin is a
slave to sin...therefore if the Son makes you free, you shall be
free indeed." John
8:31-34
"Glorious Father, transform this earth into
fertile ground,
So your seeds of truth will not fall in
vain.
Let the longing grow for you the
Creator,
that they so often do not want to
see."
Sophie Scholl 1943
