“The pro-life movement needs a lot more people like Troy Newman. His deep compassion for the helpless unborn, combined with his innovative strategies, springs from his strong personal integrity and the kind of moral courage it takes to fight a thankless battle day after day. Troy feels keenly the gross injustice of abortion, not only against the child, but also against women who have been offered this ‘right’ instead of being given the love and care they crave. Whenever I need a shot in the arm and some encouragement in this lonely battle, I give Troy a call. He always gives me a lift. I am proud to have Troy as a fellow colleague in this ongoing battle for life.”

“Troy has paid a great price to walk the narrow road as a dedicated disciple of Christ, tirelessly pouring out his heart for the unborn and their moms. Reading Troy’s book, Their Blood Cries Out, motivated me to get back on the streets after a sabbatical of having my own children, and the first day out, with the grace of God, I helped save the life of a 17 week old unborn child. His mother told me she lost count of how many abortions she had in the past, but was so excited to have her first little baby born alive. Brandon is now 3 years old and a precious little boy. Thanks Troy, for encouraging new pro-lifers, and old pro-lifers, to continue on strong in the battle. You’re always an encouragement to me, motivate me, and I thank God for your perseverance!! Keep up the fight. You’re in my prayers.”

“I have known Troy Newman for a number of years now. I consider him both friend and mentor. Partly due to his eloquence and natural charm, Troy is a leader of leaders in the battle to restore legal protection to the preborn. 
When that battle is finally won, and the history books are written, Troy Newman’s name will be remembered alongside William Wilberforce, as a key social reformer of his day.”

“I have worked with Troy and Cheryl at OR on a number of front-line pro-life projects in four states, and have been extremely impressed with their outstanding, creative and effective pro-life leadership in exposing corrupt pro-abort politicians, and working as hard as anyone in shutting down abortion mills. They have been very supportive of our work in NYC, and helped us launch our free mobile ultrasound program in the South Bronx. I consider them good friends, and wish them all the best in their current campaigns.”

“OPERATION RESCUE is a three-fold cord (Eccl. 4:12) woven through the entire tapestry of the Pro-Life Movement.

Troy has a consistent focus on opposing abortion in many ways, some of which include educating the public through his Truth Trucks, providing information services, direct challenges to George Tiller in Kansas and battling abortion laws around the country. Troy has said to me and has demonstrated by example that he will not concern himself with issues that distract from our united efforts of ending abortion and opposing the culture of death.”

“Thank you Troy for all the great work you are doing. I first met Troy Newman at the American Life League convention in Tampa, FL. in 1997 or 1998 I was the head of security for the event. What impressed me the most was his having no problem being shoved to the very end of the vendor area (a remote area) because he had pictures of what an abortion looked like. Also, he went out of his way to find the local abortion clinics in Tampa, so he could spend Saturday morning helping rescue unborn babies. That showed me the heart of the man we know as Troy Newman.
“Troy did not have a problem when myself and Josiah (a former Lamb of Christ) took one his 4X5′ abortion pics, and plastered it by the only escalator leading to the 2nd floor (for another event) of the convention center. The line was backed up out the door, and literally thousands of people from the Tampa Bay area got an up-close and personal look at what abortion is. Joe Schieldler was there, and gave a nodding approval at what we had done.
“Reactions ranged from tears to disgust to anger. It remained in place for two hours, until the head of security for the convention ripped it down. Though Troy’s poster was destroyed, he did not care, as people got an up close look at what abortion is. That is the manner of the man I know as Troy Newman. God bless you my brother.”

“Troy Newman is by far the most effective leader that Operation Rescue has ever had, and one of the most effective leaders in the entire proLife movement worldwide. Troy has shown a wonderful willingness to work with all other proLife groups, who are actually fighting abortion, and he works well with proLife people of all Faiths and backgrounds.
“It is in large part, due to Troy’s help, that the Kansas Coalition for Life has been so successful in our daily presence at the gate of the worst Abortion Facility in America, the Tiller Late-term Abortion Facility here in Wichita, where we have documented 354 saves so far. Without Troy’s help, and that of his top manager, Cheryl Sullenger, I fear that this number would be half of what it is today!
