Here’s a bio for Pastor Robinson…

Pastor Luke J. Robinson is the Pastor of the Quinn Chapel African Methodist Episcopal Church (A.M.E.C.), Frederick, Maryland. He is also the Director for the Voice of Truth and Life Action Ministries, the Coordinator for the A.M.E.C. Prison Ministry in Western Maryland and the Consultant to the A.M.E Church’s Social Action Committee on the Abortion issue.

He has taken bold stands in declaring the truth of the Gospel in prisons, on street corners, in public parks, in county, city, and state venues.

Pastor Robinson has been sought out to teach, exhort, preach, comment, write, and to articulate the heart of God as it relates to the Ten Commandments, Abortion, religious freedom, prison reform, the sanctity of marriage between one woman and one man and upholding the uncompromising Gospel of Jesus Christ. He has been featured in magazines, newspapers, radio shows, and television as author, spokesperson, and featured guest.

Pastor Robinson was a Keynote Speaker for the 34th Annual March for Life in Washington, D.C on January 22, 2007. He spoke to over 200,000 people on the devastation of the African American Community by abortion. His message was entitled, “Stop the Lying—We Are Dying”.

He has been to the White House on several occasions to meet with advisors to President George W. Bush on the issue of abortion and the African American community.

Pastor Robinson most recently delivered a critical message during his presentation at the National Right To Life Annual Convention in Kansas City, Missouri in June 2007. He shared on “Effective Strategies for Organizing African American Churches for Pro-Life Activities.”
 
Pastor Robinson’s ministry extends beyond the borders of this nation. Most recently, in August 2007, he visited El Salvador where he declared the truth and hope found in the Gospel of Jesus Christ. He ministered in several locations, including feeding the hungry, comforting those in the hospital, door-to-door ministry and boldly preached from several pulpits throughout El Salvador. Invitations to minister in Africa are being considered at this time.

God continues to enlarge his territory to carry the Good News! Pastor Robinson will be sharing around the nation during the coming months. He will be declaring the uncompromising truth about the devastation that abortion is causing in this country!

Plan to come. Stand for Life and be refreshed by the words of Pastor Robinson!
