United Nations NEW YORK for LIFE

Dear Friend for Life:

Again this year God provided a way for Melody Stefanson and I to attend meetings at the Commission on the Status of Women (CSW) at the United Nations in New York by providing our airfare and accommodations. Yahoo!

We thank God for Babette Francis the President of the NGO we work under, along with Molly White, Allan Parker, Millie Lace, Kelly Roy and their teams who attended the CSW and also helped by giving testimony on the damage of legal abortion and how it is destroying women and children and nations.

On Tuesday March the 6th we organized a Parallel Event at the Church Centre and had a packed room while Dr. Angela Lanfranchi and Joel Brind, PhD gave presentations on the link between induced abortion and breast cancer! Then Melody and I shared our testimonies on the lies women are told, and how abortion hurt us, and killed our children. Great feedback on the workshop!

We helped support other colleagues for life at the UN who worked long difficult hours to guard and protect language trying to be pushed into the Resolutions to open the doors to the sexualisation of children through sex education promoting homosexuality etc, as well as pushing the language in documents to legalize abortion as a woman's right globally to have her children killed and paid for by their countries. Most of Africa and most of South and Central America still have abortion as illegal.

Most of the developed nations like Canada, USA, Australia and all of Europe have had decades of sterilizations, the pill, and abortion on demand as a violent form of birth control. Now we have aging/dying populations with low birthrates that are not even replacing ourselves, even with the influx of immigrants.

This time Melody and I had the opportunity to meet with the UN Ambassador to Botswana and his assistant and left them with lots of information and resources from Human Life Alliance, along with several DVD's on fetal development, brochures on the breast cancer link to abortion and information from The Elliot Institute on the psychological and physical damage of legal abortion to women's bodies, minds and souls. They were very encouraged as abortion is illegal in Botswana although they have lots of pressure from outside to legalize it.

During the week I also had appointments with official delegates from Finland, The Netherlands and Malta. Tragically, the Scandinavian countries along with several of the European Union nations, the USA and Canada are some of the worst at pushing these anti-life, anti-God agendas... Several NGO's including feminist groups, Planned Parenthood, Marie Stopes, Unicef and others are also pushing this agenda of hedonism for teenagers and death to children in the womb big time!

During my time at the UN, there were many divine appointments like when I approached a woman and began to share our message and my testimony, tears began to swell in her eyes, and I responded with, "so you know what I am talking about, I am so sorry...". We quickly connected and turns out she was on the committee working in negotiations about the language in documents so I was able to connect her with our pro-life/pro-family group experts to assist her with the language war.

During the week we met and spoke with many NGO's from Nigeria, Swaziland, Argentina, Rwanda, Ghana, Sudan, Senegal, Burkina du Faso, along with lawyers and Government leaders from Zimbabwe, Niger, Kenya, Uganda, Dominican Republic, and South Africa. I was able to talk to over 45 individuals during my week there. Praise the Lord! Also a lady doctor from Bangladesh was very impressed with our event, and invited me to come and share with all of her colleagues who were members of the International Muslim Women's Union.

On my way to our hotel one evening I stopped into a Lindt chocolate store (best chocolate) and began talking to the sales clerk, and turned out she was post abortive and a single Mom. She now wants to help our cause for truth, justice and promoting life.

Below is some information and further details from Sharon Slater's Family Watch International who also work hard in keeping language family-life based.

God bless you and Thank you for your prayers and support if you helped to send me or pray for us! Not sure where the Lord will send me next. HIS will be done on earth, amen.

Together for Life Ministries,

Choose Life News


For we are God's workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do. Ephesians 2:10. We being Prolife have much work to do but yet in this scripture it says that God has prepared in advance for us to do. When Denise and I walk the streets of the United Nations and assembly rooms. We always pray Lord direct our footsteps and guide our thoughts, let us only say what you would have us say and give us strength, boldness and wisdom to say it. Let your will be done! We have many divine appointments that God has already established for us to have, Amen! He does prepare the way.

My Name is Melody Stefanson and I am Saskatchewan’s representative with Canada Silent No More. This year has been such a eventful year for CSNM. We were a voice for the voiceless and stood for God's word, way, truth and life at the United Nation in Geneva at the World Health Organization through the generosity of a Doctor in Australia who paid our way to go! PTL! The WHO is working to make abortion a universal woman's right to have her child killed. They are also pushing liberal sex education into every nation. God had us speak to many doctors, Ministers of Health and delegates on the pain of abortion, and how it killed our children. Divine appointments were made with VIP's from Kenya, Poland, Mali, Chad, Korea, Zimbabwe, Timor-Leste, China, Malaysia, Bangladesh, India, Ghana, Congo, Nigeria, Rwanda, Burundi, Japan, South Africa, Brazil, Tanzania… and also had the opportunity to speak to the Ambassadors to Uganda and Zambia! I also got to meet many fellow prolife warriors and the UN representative for Geneva Archbishop Silvano M. Tomasi, Permanent Observer of the Holy See, it was such an Honour!

Denise and I were then invited to attend a meeting at the UN, held by the "International Alliance of Patients' Organizations where Denise shared about Canada Silent No More as former abortion patients who were never informed about all of the risk factors of abortion including subsequent depression, suicides, substance abuse, breast and cervical cancers, pre-term births and fertility problems etc. We were invited to join their coalition to get an international voice!

Denise Attended and gave an oral statement at the United Nations-New York 44th Commission on Population & Development as well met with UN Ambassador to Uganda and spoke in a China meeting against the one child policy and forced abortions and sterilizations.

In July I was asked to share my testimony and sing my songs in my home town. This was very hard to do, it evoked a lot of memories; thoughts of having my secret exposed and feelings of shame to my mind. So I needed a lot of prayer support and encouragement from others. I don’t know if it ever get easier to share your past mistakes and regrets but we need to be that voice so our preborn children can be saved. We do this to create an awareness of the risks involved and expose the aftermath of abortion. It went very well and God gave me courage and grace to do this, Thank God! Many other CSNM women spoke in Alberta, Ontario, Manitoba, BC and Quebec.

I attended the Saskatchewan Pro-Life Association Inc convention in Humboldt. What a blessing to be there! Michael Coren shared an inspiring message and Brad Trost was there for support and shared his prolife agenda to stand against the funding of Planned Parenthood. It was so great to meet many different prolife leaders in our province!

In Oct Molly and Denise attended CEDAW (Committee on the Elimination of Discrimination Against Women) meetings at the UN-Palais, they too are pushing the legalization of abortion globally to make it a woman’s right to have her children in the womb killed on demand. They handed out many flyers and met with representatives from the Holy See, Uganda, and Minister of Women’s Health from Ivory Coast, as well as with Dr. Mathius from the WHO and many others. They then journeyed to Israel, spoke to many people there and ministered life and God’s word to the broken hearted. The best part was they got to share testimonies and mission to a group of Christians visiting Israel, from northern Russia! Several of the women were post abortive who stayed for ministry after our talks. They prayed for them, as many wept for the loss of their children.

This next year I am invited to the UN in New York for the The Commission on the Status of Women conference in March, 2012. I pray funds will come for us to expose the lies and be salt and light to the nation leaders, Amen! I will be singing and speaking at the March for life in Edmonton 2012. Also we have a new billboard that I will be putting up on my field by highway 35. Denise has made an excellent DVD with doctors and testimonies of women that we are going to share with M.P’s and M.L.A’s in our nation and beyond! We are moving forward, thank you for all your support and prayers, they are much needed. Please if this is something that is on your heart and want to contribute and make a donation.

Through His Word we are encouraged share His love and goodness with others.
When we donate to charity, when we give faithfully, we reap the joy of sharing...and God pours out His blessing!
We can't out-give God :) we need support to be able to do this work.. Thank you for your generous spirit and be blessed! May we stand together in this fight!

Many Blessings

Praise Report from Denise & Molly!

United Nations Geneva Report: Oct. 10-14th 2011

Molly White and I got into the UN early on Monday and headed straight to the "Serpents Lounge" to see who the Lord would have us talk to…and we spoke to several people about the pain of legal abortion, how it damages women physically and psychologically and killed our children. Rev. 12:11,12, Prov. 31:8.

We headed to the CEDAW (Committee on the

Elimination of Discrimination Against Women)

meetings at the UN-Palais, they too are pushing

the legalization of abortion globally to make it a

woman’s right to have her children in the womb

killed on demand. As I was handing out

information sheets on the desks of every

representative on the pain of legal abortion,

before the meeting started, the Secretariat of

CEDAW took us out into the hallway where we could share our message with him. It turns out that he was personally on the prolife side, and gave us some pointers. We later talked to another committee member as well.

Our message for these meetings were that women are being forced and coerced to abort their children in China...as well as the discrimination on female children being aborted in China and India…

There was a forum on "WORLD MENTAL HEALTH" where Molly and I attended. The speaker’s panel consisted of representatives from the World Health Organization, a Human Rights Lawyer, Geneva Director of Commission on the Status of Women, and others.

God made a way for me to give a statement to the forum about the psychological and emotional pain after abortion, my testimony, and stats on millions of women who suffer post abortion trauma. I handed out copies of the new mega, meta-analysis done by Dr. Priscilla Coleman showing that 81% of women who abort will suffer some kind of mental health issues, i.e. depression, suicides, anxiety disorders, substance abuse, etc. One of the panelists a psychologist came to me as I was leaving and thanked me for speaking up, and said that he was totally on board and prolife too.

We went to the UNFPA and left them some materials. We also attended a meeting On the World Coalition Against the Death Penalty and met with the Commissioner against Torture with the Human Rights Council International. ...we say NO Death

Penalty to children in the womb!! They do not deserve inhumane, brutal, cruel dismemberment, poisoning and decapitation. He was pro life, and encouraged us to start with our own nations.

We met with Dr. Mathai an obstetrician and epidemiologist at the World Health Organization. The meeting went very well. He was very pro abortion in the beginning, and trying to rationalize it for population control. Molly and I shared our testimonies and message on the pain of legal abortion and gave him an information packet with studies and research. I quoted how at the Nuremberg Trials how the Nazi doctors mutilated and experimented on Jews and children etc. so the international community declared that first surgery must be conducted on animals for testing, then if it is safe, on people...but women have become the guinea pigs when it comes to abortion He was taken aback when I said, "What study can you tell me about that confirms that induced, legal abortions are beneficial to women's reproductive health?? NOT ONE study and millions of women are suffering physical and psychological damage in silence!
We had good dialogue, and after hearing our concerns on the damage to women, and humanity of the children in the womb, he agreed that abortion hurts everyone.

Then we had several divine appointments at the UN-

Palais, where we talked to several people from

Uganda, and a Ugandan journalist interviewed us

for radio and newspaper there. We also met with a

representative of the Holy See.

The highlight on our last day was an excellent

meeting with the Minister of Women's Health from

the Ivory Coast in Africa! She had several of her

staff attend our meeting including a lawyer, NGO representative and other staff. She was so impressed with our message, resources and information that she wants to organize a forum for Molly and I to come and bring education and awareness to train up their NGO leaders and government leaders on the talking points to prevent abortions in their Nation!

ISRAEL Report: Oct. 14-22
nd To the Jew first....amen.

Molly and I shared our testimonies and witnessed the Gospel of Life to many people in Israel. I met and shared with a Jewish woman who had an abortion, and could not forgive herself; she felt unworthy, had low self esteem and believed that God would never forgive her. I told her the blood of Yeshua paid the price for even the sin of abortion! She was so glad to speak to us.

We celebrated Sukkot (Feast of Tabernacles) in Jerusalem; and attended the festivities International Christian Embassy for Jerusalem. We talked to lots of people. I met a Christian author of "The Long Love Letter" book, and after I told her about our mission, she said she would supply us with this book, and as many as we wanted along with a New Testaments too for all the post abortive women! PTL!

We watched an amazing video/documentary about our friend, Ishai and his wife Anat who are Messianic believers, run a pregnancy care centre, do post abortion recovery and are strong pro lifers too...his grandparents, uncles, aunts, cousins were murdered in the holocaust in Poland...I learned that because of the inquisitions and the Nazi holocaust that "Christianity" is a huge stumbling block to the Jews! And therefore believers are greatly persecuted in Israel, and one Messianic family was sent a bomb, their son almost died from the blast, they are considered traitors and enemies of Jews.

We witnessed to several people in Tiberius by the Sea of Galilee including young men and women. I talked to a Jewish woman who lived in Romania for many years...at first she told me that she was pro-choice and totally disagreed with what I was saying… I continued, and after some time, she told me that she had 17 abortions with her husband. However, he had recently died, and it was getting on her conscience. She began turning around...and when I told her about Yeshua...she told me in a whisper, that she believes in him too....PTL!!! We had many GOD appointments...sharing HIS way, truth and life here with many Israeli youth and young adults...also got to speak to a group of believers from around the world at the Bet Bracha hotel.

The best part was we got to share our testimonies and mission to a group of Christians visiting Israel, from northern Russia! Many of the women thanked us for speaking, and they all cheered after we spoke. Several of the women were post abortive who stayed for ministry after our talks. We prayed for them, as many wept for the loss of their children...we are praying about going there to teach them how to be a voice, minister to one another and prevent abortions. Praise the Lord, it was ALL GOD!! To HIM be all the Glory, Honour and Praise!

Love,

Denise Mountenay & Molly White

Our UN Mission TRIP to Geneva!

We were a voice for the voiceless and stood for God's word, way, truth and life in the "Serpent's Lounge" at the UN.

UN-Geneva-World Health Organization is working to make abortion a universal woman's right to have her child killed. They are also pushing liberal sex education into every nation. God had me speak to many doctors, Ministers of Health and delegates on the pain of abortion, and how it killed my children.

Divine appointments were made with VIP's from Kenya, Poland, Mali, Chad, Korea, Zimbabwe, Timor-Leste, China, Malaysia, Bangladesh, India, Ghana, Congo, Nigeria, Rwanda, Burundi, Japan, South Africa, Brazil, Tanzania… and also had the opportunity to speak to the Ambassadors to Uganda and Zambia! Praise The Lord!

I was invited to attend a meeting at the UN, held by the "International Alliance of Patients' Organizations where I shared about Canada Silent No More as former abortion patients who were never informed about all of the risk factors of abortion including subsequent depression, suicides, substance abuse, breast and cervical cancers, pre-term births and fertility problems etc.  We were invited to join their coalition to get an international voice!

While staying at our Geneva Hostel, we spoke to a group of Lutheran's from Germany who sadly thought it was okay for a woman to choose to have her child killed and argued with me, however, I stood my ground in love, and tried to persuade with the Word of God that He hates the shedding of innocent blood, and bring humanity to the children in the womb.  Another group of United Church and Anglican's were also at the facility who thought abortion was a woman's right, and again I spoke God's Word, Truth and Way to them, hoping the blinders would be removed, as the gods of this world had blinded their minds also.

I thank God for Melody who accompanied me from Saskatchewan and was a great help!  The Pro Life coalition on site included Jeanne Head,  Scott Fischback and Mary Langois from the USA, Patrick Buckley from Ireland and ourselves from Canada.

A huge thank you for everyone who prayed for us, and helped to send us to be a voice for women and children damaged and destroyed by legal abortion.

Sincerely,
Denise Mountenay

You Named Me No One - Abortion

Updates from CSNM and our upcoming Mission Trip to Geneva!

Dear Friends for Life!



Denise and I are Going to the World Health Assembly, put on by the WHO-World Health Organization...to meet and talk to Health Ministers and Leaders of nations about the pain of legal abortion, world demographics, and the humanity of children in the womb. We will be going on May 14- 21,  would you help us and be prayer back up and moral support at this time. Below are highlights from the United Nation Mission trip!  We are praying that donations will come in to cover our costs for Geneva, If This is something that God has laid on your heart and if you can't physically help and would like to donate to this mission then Please go to my Blog OR any of the links below to donate through PayPal which does accept credit card payments.


We are planning a Gala Dinner and silent auction for Aug 27th.. If you have any fundraising Ideas please let us know!  Can you HELP with Prayer backup for our missions? Fundraisers? Administration? Collecting testimony's? If you can send a donation to this ministry that would be such a blessing! All of the links below have information on how to donate.. Thanks SO MUCH for your support!!!

Don't be silent!
To the nations of the world: The blood of 100's of millions of babies cries out against you. Their cries are heard by God; a god of Justice, Judgment & Divine Retribution. He hears the cries of the afflicted and defends the oppressed. He sees what we do in secret. Turn and repent, before He repays us for what we have done.  I just recently watch the movie again " One night with The King". I LOVE this movie about Esther.  It was a story of personal Sacrifice,  She willingly risked her life so that others can be saved.  God reminded me during this movie that we all need to be Esther's for our pre-born children, who are being  massacred every day! Although Esther was hesitant at first, she followed through and was obedient with God's desire to help save the Jews.  I know personally I have struggled with keeping on the path for LIFE, it's not an easy path to be on. We expose ourselves to the people who want us to be silent, they don't want to hear the TRUTH about abortion.  We are spiritually attacked and verbally for sharing our Testimony, OUR personal story of how abortion hurt us and lead us to Kill our innocent Children.  We open our wounds and Bare our soul every time we share, but we have to keep Fighting this Goliath, We need to Stand for our Children,  however we can, or how God leads us to Help! God creates our paths, we need to follow his will for our lives.  And this is what we will do! God Bless you and I pray that you will Keep Up the Good FIGHT for Our Children in the Womb!
Many Blessing

Highlights from the 44th Commission on Population & Development Conference
Theme:  Fertility, Reproductive Rights & Development At the United Nations, New York April 11-15th
                                                                                               
By Denise Mountenay-NGO-Endeavour Forum Inc. Canadian Director

First, I want to thank everyone who prayed and fasted, and who gave a donation to help send us to this conference at the United Nations for such a time as this.  Also, I thank God for making a way for Glenisaah Stauffer to join me as an intern to the UN on this mission.  We Christians, who work at the UN, are Ambassadors of a different government, the Kingdom of God.  With the direction of the Holy Spirit we meet and discuss issues on the earth with leaders of nations that matter to the heart of our Father, creator of the universe. Bravo to Sharon, Jeanne, Colleen, Samantha, Peter and the rest of the prolife, pro-family team too!

Sunday morning I attended Times Square Church, to praise our God and worship His Holy Name.  At the visitor’s reception, I met a woman from Uganda, who invited me to sit with her and her friends. I shared my heart with them; that I was in NY to attend this UN conference and meet with UN Ambassadors and leaders of nations on the pain of legal abortion, how it is damaging women and nations, and killed 3 of my children.

To my great astonishment, this woman turned out to be the UN Ambassador to Uganda’s wife!  Yes! Praise the Lord!  And she promptly invited me to her home for dinner and to meet with her husband. What a blessing.  He is also a doctor, a pediatrician, we spoke for over 2 hours, and he was very interested in my message and information.  Two days later Glenisaah and I visited the ambassador’s office as I presented him with gifts and information for his delegates.
Monday and Tuesday at the UN were filled with many divine appointments as we met with delegates from the around the world, including a judge from Trinidad and Tobago, Deputy, Director-General of Population for Japan, and UN delegates from Zambia, Gambia, St. Lucia, Equador, Argentina, Ghana, Sierra Leone and Chile…

On our way into the UN one day we met with 4 men from China, a lawyer who was incarcerated for 4 years for trying to bring a case against the one child policy, a Chinese journalist, a Christian, and an entrepreneur.  We totally supported them and they would like to arrange for Chinese women to hear our message also.
On Wednesday, I was blessed to make my statement to the whole UN Assembly on the pain of legal abortion, and how it is damaging women physically, psychologically and how it is affecting world demographics in a significant way. Several people thanked me afterward for this speech.  PTL!
Later that day there was a seminar on Cervical and Breast Cancer around the world, where I was also able to bring up the link between induced abortion and breast and cervical cancers. PTL!

China had a side event for population software, where I was able to make a statement against the one child policy and how we are very concerned about Chinese women who are forced to have abortions and forced to have sterilizations.  They said, they did not know how to answer that.
Thursday night I was invited by one of the staff of Secretary General Ban Ki-moon, who is also a professor of a Bible College to come and give a message to his students. I got to pray for them as well, and minister to a post abortive woman. PTL!

To God be all the Glory, great things HE has done!  We felt there was a shift in the spiritual realm as we expose the lies of the enemy in that place and declare God’s word, way and truth. We know that babies will be saved and nations warned of the evil of human sacrifice, the shedding of innocent blood.
Thank you for listening.
