Fellow pro-life Christians,
The IRS is continuing to pursue us due to our pro-life stance and in naming politicians
who support abortion. The IRS in their last letter included their "evidence" against me.
All of it has to do with the sanctity of life and S1's rebuke of abortion.
I will be holding a press conference on this Thursday, August 16th, at 11:00 a.m.
at Tiller's. I would like to invite you to come and stand with us/me.
I know it would take some courage on your part's but it will be much easier
now than if we continue to let this blatant act to silence Christians go unchallenged.
If you know any other pastor's who might be interested please let me or them know.
If you any questions at all please feel free to call me.
Pastor Mark

IRS to Church: “Stop Preaching Anti-Abortion Message”
The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) has contacted Spirit One Christian Center in Wichita, Kansas, and demanded all church records to determine whether or not it is in violation of its 501© 3 tax exempt status. Spirit One pastor Mark Holick, has been a stalwart leader in the Pro-life movement in Wichita since 1991. Local ministries in this city are effectively bringing an end to the abortion industry.
Now comes the IRS to crush Christian ministries that live out their faith in the streets. “This is simply the latest step in an effort to silence our Christian witness outside abortion mills.” Said Pastor Holick. “The IRS is a powerful weapon in the hands of those who desire to censor Christianity and remove gentle Christians from proclaiming Christ at these gates of hell!”
“The IRS asked us to answer 31 questions concerning our efforts in the pro-life movement in Wichita.” Pastor Holick added. “We answered every one. Now it wants to audit us based on the “evidence” it has.” (A copy of every piece of “evidence” the IRS has will be provided to the media).
Every piece of “evidence” speaks directly and specifically to the sanctity of human life which is taught and affirmed in the Bible, the Ten Commandments, the Sermon on the Mount, and a plethora of other Scriptures from Moses and the Prophets to Jesus and the Apostles.
This is a blatant act of tyranny by the federal government to silence the Christian Church, to deny religious freedoms, and to treat the 1st Amendment and the Constitution as so much trash.
