Internationally Renowned Football Star, Whose Dying Wish was to Abolish Abortion, Dies at 16: "If I Can Save One Baby, It Will be Worth It"

Will Maul : Aug 30, 2018  Faithwire

“One-third of our generation has been wiped out due to abortion. My call to you today is to come back to the Father. Leave behind the darkness and despair. There is healing in Christ. Let’s make a journey of saving faith, back to the Father’s house.” – Jeremiah Thomas

Jeremiah Thomas, son of Rusty Thomas, who is the director of pro-life organization “Operation Save America,” passed away on Sunday evening after being diagnosed with an aggressive form of bone cancer earlier this year.

“Warrior Down!” Rusty posted on Facebook, announcing the sad news. “Jeremiah has finished the last lap of the race of faith. He crossed the finish line at 7:20 PM. The battle is over and Christ has won. He lived well for His Lord and died even better for Him.”

A video posted in June showed Thomas on the phone to Texas Governor Greg Abbott, pleading with him to help eradicate abortion in his beloved state.

“Your wish is on the Republican party platform position,” Governor Abbott responded, “and we’re going to be pursuing this…And that is to outlaw abortion altogether in the state of Texas.”

Rusty paid tribute to his courageous son in a powerful online obituary: “Jeremiah’s life, message, and testimony has reached into the Church world, the sports world, the political world, and even Hollywood,” he wrote. “His story has been picked up by national and international and news agencies, including Fox News…”

He added: “The Daily Mail, the second largest newspaper in London, also ran his story. Italy picked it up and the largest pro-life student group contacted him to discuss how to abolish abortion in their country.”

“Recent gubernatorial candidate for Governor from Oklahoma, Dan Fisher, did a special interview with Jeremiah since he ran on the platform of abolishing abortion in his state. State Representative Tony Tinderholt who has and will introduce another bill of abolition in Texas honored Jeremiah with a Texas State Resolution.”

“Good night for now, precious son,” Rusty concluded. “We will see you in the morning.”

In a recently released video on Jeremiah’s faith-filled mission, Thomas says boldly: “Sometimes bravery is laying down your life for something bigger than yourself.” Subscribe for free to Breaking Christian News here.
