Paul deParrie dies at 56

Dear Friends of the Preborn,

I'm writing to inform you that Paul deParrie suffered a heart attack yesterday and went home to be with the Lord. Paul was a faithful Christian who witnessed regularly to others and who spoke and acted in defense of the preborn for two decades. He died on the field of battle doing what he loved best. He had just finished a defense of the preborn in the public square in Portland, Oregon, his hometown.

Paul was the Editor-in-Chief of "Life Advocate" magazine for ten years. Life Advocate was sued out of business by the abortion industry. The magazine was a tool which kept pro-lifers informed and encouraged by the thoughts and actions of others, and was a great loss when it closed. Paul also wrote several books, including "The Rescuers" which detailed the lives of individuals involved in the Rescue Movement. You can visit Paul's website at http://www.portlandporcupine.com

Paul was the type of man you could talk with freely without having to feel like you have to walk on eggshells. He was a blessing to the body of Christ. He was a blessing to me personally. He will be greatly missed.

Separated unto the Gosple,

Pastor Matt Trewhella

p.s. The following was the last letter Paul had pre-prepared to have sent out for just such an occasion as this. His heart trouble had been for some time. If you would like to send condolences to his wife, Bonnie, and his children or be a blessing to them financially, go to http://portlandporcupine.com/contrib/

My friends and supporters,

The reason you are getting this letter is because I am either deceased or incapacitated. I prepared this letter in advance along with my will and other arrangements.

In either event, the ministry work I have been doing will be no longer. This may be the last official Little House of deParrie communication you receive except as Bonnie may be able to provide you with an update.

My final request of you is that you assist Bonnie financially as you did me for a little longer so that she is able to adjust to the drop in income. Some of you have been faithful, long-time supporters (for which I am deeply grateful) and others of you may want to mike a one-time donation at this crucial hour.

You know I was always reluctant to have financial appeals in the Little House mailings, but as you can see, this is an unusual situation. I would never have been able to carry on the work I did without Bonnie’s constant and tireless support and assistance.

Thank you for all your past prayers and support. Please also continue to remember Bonnie and the family in your prayers.

Sincerely,

Paul deParrie


To the FBI and other LEOs: God has given you the authority under which you act. (Romans 13) You will give account to God at the Judgment for all of your uses and abuses of His authority. You are now acting under the USA Patriot Act, an unjust and oppressive law. Some of you are from the "old school" and hate what your agency has become -- a political tool of oppression against legitimate speech and protest. Yet you find yourselves still "part of the System." Remember Obadiah, a public official in Judah who served under the wicked King Ahab and his wife, Jezabel. That priest was also "part of the System," yet he found a way to assist the righteous prophets of God. (1 Kings 18:3-4) Use your authority wisely.
