John Ensor is President of PassionLife, pastor, teacher of bioethics, and leader of pregnancy help organizations.
John tells us, “Every woman in a pregnancy-related crisis is in a crisis of faith.”
Pastors all over the world are challenged to teach and preach about abortion. They are hesitant to inflame or hurt people and to sound a clear trumpet. China, Cuba, Guatemala, and elsewhere all over the world pastors face this challenge.
The US only represents 3% of abortions worldwide, therefore, abortion is a world mission challenge.
China’s law included the one-child policy which made pastors submissive to the government. But the Four Questions unlocked their preaching and speaking in their communities. Fear of government is also driving silence worldwide. This is a spiritual battle, as John first learned pastoring a local church. The story is told in his book Answering the Call, Saving Innocent Life One Woman at at Time.
“God forgives abortion, yes, but that is not a permission slip to do evil. “If you can’t trust God to help feed your baby, it’s going to be a lot harder to trust God that he’s going to be able to forgive you for killing your baby?”
John Ensor, PassionLife
The Four Questions method is a training tool for pastors, which can be easily shared in the church, who can then share it with others, based on these questions:
- What does the Bible say about human life, including life in the womb?
- What does the Bible say about the shedding of innocent blood?
- How do you bring the grace of the gospel to the guilt of abortion so people are forgiven and set free?
- What has God called us to do to prevent the shedding of innocent blood?
