OSA Final Report
Saturday and Sunday Sept 19th, 20th 2015
“And Elijah came to all the people, and said, “How long will you falter between two opinions? If the LORD is God, follow Him; but if Baal, follow him.” But the people answered him not a word. Then Elijah said to the people, “I alone am left a prophet of the LORD; but Baal’s prophets are four hundred and fifty men” (1 Kings 18:21, 22).
On Saturday morning we split up into three teams. The Word in Warfare Team went back to Planned Parenthood, the Awareness Team went back to the hospital to expose the abortionist, David Eisenberg, and our third team stormed the gates of hell at the Hope Clinic in Granite City, IL.
Preaching to the Pro-aborts at the St. Louis Altar of Moloch
The Word in Warfare team continued their siege against the Planned Parenthood death camp. Apparently, Planned Parenthood recruited supporters from nearby colleges to defend their altar of Moloch from the church of the Living God.
It was a clash like Mount Carmel of old. It was the Baal prophets versus the prophets of the Lord. The powers that be demanded the pro-aborts keep silent and not engage us. This worked to the Lord’s advantage. All they could do was listen to God’s Word as it thundered throughout the neighborhood. Some of them broke down and cried, while others dropped their signs and fled that den of iniquity.
The set up was quite prophetic. The battle between the two seeds was in full manifestation. The pro-aborts were lined up behind the iron fence imprisoned by their demonic ideology. The Church was on the outside of the self-imposed prison storming the gates of hell. The Gospel was proclaimed that has the power to set the captives free.
My lovely bride, Kendra, helped them connect the dots between the plight of massacred children and their eternal souls. She explained, “After the babies are murdered, their little bodies are incinerated. The smoke and their ashes rise as a testimony against us. If you refuse to repent and trust Christ for salvation, the smoke of your torment will rise forever as a testimony of your lawless idolatry you committed here on earth (Revelation 14:11). Surely, we serve a God who answers by fire. It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God (Hebrews 10:31).
Hospital Outreach
Once again, the Awareness Team went back to expose abortionist, David Eisenberg, at Barnes Jewish Hospital. The first day they dealt mostly with poorer people who readily received the message. On this day, they went to a different intersection. It was more an elite crowd that were somewhat hostile to the hard truth being presented. Some of the team tried again to pass out flyers in another garage. This time the security guards caught them, cuffed them, and then thankfully released them.
Our last team made a surprise raid to the Hope Clinic in Granite City, IL. They reported the deathscorts played rough as they tried to minister the Gospel at the death camp.
Pastor Frank Campana ministering the Gospel at the Gates of Hell
During lunch the Truth Truck teams had a divine appointment. A young black couple, Ronbrion and Tiffany, were convicted by the graphic pictures of abortion. Right then and there the Lord recruited them into the battle for the souls of men, the lives of children, and the future or our bloodstained, perverted nation. They came to our rally Saturday night and the saints loaded them up with books and DVDs to help equip them to press on to the high call and prize in Jesus’ name!
At our Saturday night rally, Doc Johnston and Rev. Rusty Lee Thomas addressed the congregation. Johnston ministered a powerful prophetic, dramatic parable that demonstrated God has a plumb line that judges men and nations. Our nation keeps moving the line to the point that if God’s people go along to get along, we will end up siding with the enemies of the Lord, instead of staying faithful to God’s standards.
Thomas preached on the doctrine of suffering in the times of tyranny and persecution. Utilizing the reaction of the early church in the book of Acts, Thomas exhorted the congregation to follow their example. When threatened, the Apostles prayed for more boldness and rejoiced they were counted worthy to suffer for the Lord and His righteous cause in the earth (Acts 4:23-31; 5:40-42).
If any of you desire DVD or CD copies of our rally messages contact Pastor Dale Sochia. For $10.00 dollars you get all the messages for each of the four rally nights. His address is 3900 N Turnbull Drive, Metairie, LA 70002.

Brother Cal Zastrow Proclaiming Revelation Chapter One at our Concluding Service of Word in Warfare at Planned Parenthood
We concluded the event at Planned Parenthood by reading out loud the book of Revelation. In three and a half days the saints prophetically proclaimed the Scriptures from Genesis to Revelation. Mission Accomplished! Well done saints!
As we were declaring God’s Word, some neighbors of the death camp called the police. Three cruisers pulled up. We over heard one lady state, “They kept on speaking and I was terrified.” Another woman complained that she felt bullied by our presence. “The wicked flee when no one pursues, But the righteous are bold as a lion” (Proverbs 28:1).
St. Louis is in the can and it is on to Orlando for our next battlefront. We appreciate your love, prayers, and support as we desire to spend and be spent in the cause of Christ and the advancement of His Kingdom. Love ya all in Jesus’ name!

Morning
“Mission man,” Cal Zastrow, and Doc Johnston led OSA members to the Barnes Jewish Hospital to expose the abortionist on staff. They passed out over 2,000 flyers and blanketed a car garage where the hospital staff and patients park in two days. Dr. Eisenberg kills babies at the St. Louis Planned Parenthood, while his wife kills babies at the Hope Clinic in Granite City, Illinois. Eisenberg was mentioned as a good source for harvested aborted baby parts on an undercover video by the Center for Medical Progress.
Jason Storms, OSA’s campus leader, and Scott Heldreth from Heart for the Next Generation led another evangelism team to universities and college campuses. Armed with signs, thousands of tracts, and the proclamation of the Gospel, they engaged the students.
Pastor Dale Sochia of Louisiana and Pastor Frank Campana of Florida oversaw the Word in Warfare team at Planned Parenthood. Word in Warfare is when Christians read the entire Bible, publicly, throughout the bloody city with the assurance God’s Word will not return void (Isaiah 55:11). It is both a prophetic warning and a cry for repentance. OSA members who weren’t reading the Word out loud, prayed, held signs, passed out literature, rebuked sin, and offered hope and help to those being led astray to slaughter.
While walking to Planned Parenthood, Rev. Rusty Thomas met a man named Lonnie. Sin had taken a terrible toll on his life. He was a broken man with a broken body. Since he was unable to walk, he used a scooter. Rusty reached out to Lonnie and prayed for his healing. Afterwards, Rusty ministered the Gospel and prayed for Lonnie’s salvation. His darkened eyes came to life as hope returned to his soul.
Pastor Ante Pavokic from North Carolina led a team to City Hall with Dale from Ohio. Dale set up Tom Raddell’s giant prolife display with help from the team. The mayor is a pro-abort and pro-homosexual. His office was not pleased OSA was there. The team gave out tracts and had many one-on-one ministry opportunities. Elijah Thomas of New Life Drama Company met a Mexican suffering from depression and infirmities. He allowed Elijah to share the Gospel and pray for him. Elijah also ministered the love of Christ to a homeless man.
Afternoon
After ministering on the streets in the morning, the OSA saints found refreshment and fellowship at Life in Christ Outreach. Lunch was provided each afternoon by various home churches and individuals. Dubbed “A Taste of St. Louis,” OSA members were spoiled by local culinary favorites such as St. Louis-style pizza, (cut in squares and with white cheeses) toasted ravioli, barbecue, and the famous St. Louis Gooey Butter Cake (the chocolate version had people going back for two and three servings).
The lunch was followed by youth workshops hosted by Jason Storms and Scott Heldreth. On Thursday, Jason warned against perpetual adolescence and encouraged the youth to walk in maturity. He used Jesus teaching in the temple at twelve years old as his biblical example. On Friday, Jason taught on the dangers of mass media and helped the youth develop critical thinking skills.
Scott expounded on the history of Operation Rescue/Operation Save America. He challenged the youth to learn their history and to search out godly mentors, those who have been proved in battle. On Friday, Scott taught on the importance of discipleship and used King David and Jonathan as examples of loyalty and character.
While the youth were taught, the adults attended more ministry outreaches. On Friday, a small group of mothers passed out Gospel tracts to students at a nearby high school.
Joyce Meyers Conference
A much larger group went to the St. Louis Convention Center to hand out prolife tracts to 10,000 women attending a Joyce Meyer conference. While women waited for the conference doors to open, Pastor Ante gave a 10 minute exhortation on a sound system. He shared with the women that he hoped they would enjoy the worship and the presence of God during the conference. He then asked that they please read the tracts and to love their preborn neighbor as themselves.
Frank C met a drunk in a wheelchair. Frank challenged the man about his drunkenness. According to Frank the man was suffering from lack of vision. Frank encouraged the man to serve the Lord and gave him the task of giving out 4 tracts to the women at the conference. He did! He was hesitant at first but then he rolled his wheelchair down the sidewalk and handed them out. His demeanor changed and Frank was able to share with him the need to serve God.
Frank’s daughters led worship on the streets as about 2,000 tracts were handed out. OSA members at the outreach all say the women received the information with gratitude. Many meaningful conversations took place.
Evening Service
The evening services were held at Shiloh World Outreach in Arnold, Missouri. Pastor Rick and Lisa Wallace are kindred spirits. We were blessed by their covering and hospitality.
Pastor Dale Sochia led worship, accompanied by the Doc Johnston’s talented children and Rev. Thomas daughter, Jubilee (8). As they worshipped, Micah Thomas stood by an easel and painted what looked like an abstract work of art. At the end of the song, Micah flipped the canvas upside down to reveal a picture of Jesus on the cross. New Life Drama Company performed another skit and Elijah shared a personal testimony. When he was a young person he attended OSA events because he was MADE to. Now, as a man, he attends because it is RIGHT to.
During Friday’s evening service, Pastor Ante taught on the “Holiness of God.” As he did so, the weight of the Lord fell. The kabod (God’s holy glory) was so strong it made it awkward to continue the service, to the point Rev. Rusty Thomas refused to take up an offering. Instead, he gave an altar call and encouraged the saints to allow the Lord to work in their lives.
After Pastor Ante spoke, Bishop Otis Kenner preached on the “Defining Moment,” the Christian response in times of spiritual, national crisis. He used the biblical examples of Esther, Mordecai, and Haman, to challenge the saints to stand for the Lord regardless of personal cost. It was a powerful exhortation that had the saints jumping to their feet at the end of the sermon.

Saints from as far away as Nevada, Washington, Connecticut, Colorado, and Texas arrived to protect the preborn at St Louis, Missouri’s last remaining abortion clinic. The States of Refuge regional event was well attended. Many brought homeschooling children and grandchildren with them. Pastor and author Matt Trewhella delivered a sermon against pietism during the opening rally. He warned of using prayer and other spiritual virtues as a cop out to disobey God’s clear commands.
Coach Dave preceded him with a rousing speech on the need for Christians to follow prayers with action. He challenged the audience by asking if prayer alone is all that God required, why didn’t Jesus end His ministry at the Garden of Gethsemane. Why did Jesus feed the 5,000, rather than pray for their provision. Why did Jesus heal the sick, rather than pray for healing? New Life Drama Company performed a skit entitled, “The Gift,” which revealed the rejection of children (God’s gifts to us) and the sin of abortion.
Thursday, July 17, 2015
The slogan for the city is “St. Lou is all within reach,” with a picture of the Gateway Arch bridging the “St. Lou” with “is.” In keeping with the slogan, brought the Gospel “within reach” of the people of St. Louis Missouri.
If you know anything of OSA, you know OSA’s about preaching the Gospel and saving preborn babies. OSA is simply the church in action, loving the lost and rescuing those unjustly sentenced to death.
Reaching the Lost at Planned Parenthood
Day two of the “States of Refuge campaign” brought the love of Christ to Planned Parenthood at Forest Park Ave. Led by Coach Dave D. and Pastor Dale S., fifty OSA members interceded for the lives of their preborn neighbors. While some members began Word in Warfare, others surrounded the clinic in prayer. The preacher boys ministered on the sound system and held signs exposing the sin of abortion.
Frank C. met a young woman with blue hair and piercings coming out of the clinic. “Venom was coming out of her mouth” but as he spoke the truth, her demeanor softened.
The presence of the Lord touched a person walking by the clinic. Cassia W. noticed a troubled man pacing the sidewalk. After a moment, he stopped in the middle of the driveway. It was as if he was in a daze. Cassia called over her brother Elijah T. to minister to him. As Elijah moved him from the driveway, he asked, “What can we pray for?” The man replied, “I want it all.” As Elijah prayed, Frank approached. Moved by the Spirit, Frank placed his hands in the middle of the man’s chest and prayed. There was an impartation!
Reaching the Government
Pastor Ante P. led a team (which included three faithful members of Ante’s church, affectionately named “the Mighty Men”) to City Hall. Pastor Dale brought Tom Radell’s freestanding display of abortion victims. After a few minutes of ministry, the police arrived and threatened to impound the display if it wasn’t promptly removed.
The team improvised. They dismantled the display and turned the posters scenes into giant hand held signs! City Hall heard the Gospel of the Kingdom through the open air preaching and the one-on-one conversations that took place as tracts were shared. During this event thousands and thousands of tracts, brochures, and flyers were distributed throughout St. Louis.
Ante engaged one young man walking by. Alex listened as Ante shared the Gospel. After a few moments, he knelt down on the grass, repented of his sins, and confessed Jesus Christ as his Lord. He came to our rally that night, a soul transformed by the regenerating power of the Holy Ghost.
Reaching the College Students
Jason S. and Bishop Kenner led a team to St Louis University and Harris-Stowe State University. They set up signs, leafleted The campus and engaged the student body. The team spoke with a young lady. She revealed she was an agnostic. According to Bishop, much of her thinking was steeped in paganism. Because Christians were willing to witness in the public square, she heard the truth of the Gospel and she changed her mind.
HSSU is an African American campus. A security guard stationed outside prevented the team from entering the campus.This did not stop the team from exposing Planned Parenthood’s racist origins and Margaret Sanger’s eugenics. One African American woman was so impacted by the truth she asked for material to bring on campus and share with others. A male student spoke with Bishop. He was from a Christian background but had begun to lean towards Islam. After Bishop reminded him of the Gospel and the truths found in Scripture and encouraged him in the faith, the young man responded, “You don’t know how much I needed that.”
Reaching the Neighborhood
Cal Z. and Patrick J. led a team of fifteen to the abortionist’s neighborhood. They held a banner that read “Doctor David Isenberg Kills Babies.” The awareness campaign was able to quickly disseminate literature that exposed the sin of abortion and called the abortionists to repentance. Ten minutes into the outreach, six police cars showed up. Praise God, the leafleting was finished.
The Evening Service
New Life Drama Team performed again. After their moving skit, “Say Something” there was not a dry eye in the church. Scott Heldreth of Heart for the Next Generation http://www.heartfornextgeneration.com/ shared and Jason Storms preached a convicting message on the importance of family discipleship.
The Saints Come Rolling into St. Louis
“These who have turned the world upside down have come here too. Jason has harbored them, and these are all acting contrary to the decrees of Caesar, saying there is another king—Jesus” Acts 17:6b, 7).
It is on to the next battlefront. Leaving Kentucky behind, we now set our face like flint towards St. Louis for our States of Refuge campaign. With special thanks to Chris and Shelley Clegg, who helped to prepare our way, the saints are marching into St. Louis. It was a thrill to see cars and trucks on the highways filled with the saints coming from all over America to take on the last remaining death camp in MO. It is none other than a notorious and increasingly toxic Planned Parenthood.
Tonight our rallies begin at 6:30 at Shiloh World Outreach 2160 TenBrook Rd Arnold, MO 63010. Tonight we are blessed to have Coach Dave Daubenmire and Pastor Matt Trewhella minister God’s Word to prayerfully equip, inspire, and provoke God’s people to love and good works.
After the rally, we will split up the congregation into 4 teams. My right hand man, Chet Gallagher, is broke down in Idaho with his bride Joann. He is our logistical expert. Please pray for them. Regardless, we will muddle through, put the teams together with the next day’s assignment. The salt will come out of the shaker and the light from under the bushel as the church advances the Gospel of the Kingdom to prayerfully overcome and defeat the culture of death savaging our nation.
We will have four teams stationed at strategic spots throughout St. Louis. The Word in Warfare team will be stationed at the death camp. There assignment is to unsheathe the sword of the Spirit and proclaim the entire Word of God from Genesis to Revelation in three and a half days. They will have signs and literature to pass out while one reads and one prays.
The 2nd team is our display team. Tom Raddall has graciously, once again, sent his powerful display that we can use to expose the hidden works of darkness. It will be set up each day at city hall in St. Louis. Ant Pavkovic will be leading a team there. They will have a sound system set up and literature to pass out. From what we understand there is good foot traffic.
The 3rd team is our campus team. This team will be led by Jason Storms. They are assigned to do Gospel raids upon different universities and schools throughout the St. Louis area. Armed with portable signs and tons of literature, they will engage students on a daily basis to expose our national sins, which has brought national calamity and to plead with them to be reconciled to God through the merits of His Son, our Lord Jesus Christ.
Last, but certainly not least, our 4th team led by Cal Zastrow will be our Awareness Team. These commandos for the Lord will go to strategic pressure points in the battle to shine the light of Christ into the darkness. They are going to a neighborhood, a hospital, and another special place that may connect Planned Parenthood baby parts scandal to a “business” that buys them.
Each afternoon, we plan on investing in the next generation of good soldiers of Jesus Christ. Scott Heldreth and Jason Storms will be having discipling and mentoring training for all the young people participating in this event.
We covet your prayers, love and support as we seek to spend and be spent for the glory of God, His Kingdom, and His great salvation amongst men. Keep pressing on to the high call and prize in Jesus’ name!
