PURPOSE and VISION
The Repentance for Bloodguilt outdoor worship service is a gathering of Christians assembled to join in prayer, praise, worship and the declaring of God’s Word as we:
1)Repent and ask the Lord’s forgiveness for our corporate bloodguiltiness. Bloodguilt is upon us, our city, our state, and all its inhabitants, especially the Church (2 Chron. 7:14), which has failed to love her unborn neighbors as herself, for the over 317,000 unborn children who have been murdered by surgical abortion on South Carolina soil since the wicked and unconstitutional Roe v. Wade supreme Court decision of 1973 (thru 2005), and most likely several times more than that number aborted chemically. Their shed innocent blood pollutes the very ground of our city and state (Nu. 35:33), and cries out to
God for divine vengeance and recompensation (Gen. 4:10).
2)Beseech the Lord, to end completely the sin of shedding innocent blood in Columbia and in SC, not by our might and power, but by His Spirit, as HE is already doing closing four abortion centers in the Columbia area, and by closing six other abortion centers in our state (Ps. 24:7-10; Matt.16:18; Ps.110:1).
SPECIFIC PRAISE and PRAYER REQUESTS
1)Praise God for closing 10 major abortion centers in our state, leaving three major abortion mills in SC.
2)Praise God for reducing by 52% the number of abortions committed annually in SC since the peak
in ‘88; while asking him to reverse the increase of abortions in SC (150) from 2004 to 2005.
3) Repent before God for our corporate bloodguiltiness.
4) Ask God to end completely end child-killing.
5)Ask God to manifest His sovereignty and to express His mercy, by enabling the sanctity of human life,
from the moment of fertilization to be recognized in law.
