HUMBLE PASTOR AND SIDEWALK COUNSELOR SENTENCED TO JAIL CHRISTIAN SUPPORTERS JAM COURTHOUSE AND STAND IN SOLIDARITY WITH PASTOR WALTER HOYE II

Feb 19, 2009, Oakland, Ca. Pro-life Christians from No. California, including 15 Sohlnet sidewalk counselors and prolife activists from the Sacramento area packed out the courtroom and the hallway where Pastor Walter Hoye III was sentenced to jail for quietly standing outside an Oakland abortion “clinic” offering help to abortion minded women and men. Hoye had earlier been found guilty of violating an Oakland ordinance that had been crafted by pro-abortion advocates to keep Hoye away from the clinic.

In anticipation of the sentencing the prolife community, including three prominent out of state African American pastors, gathered in Oakland for two prayer and strategy meetings in the week preceding the trial. Sohlnet’s Bud Reeves and John Ficker were invited to, and attended, these meetings based on our long time prolife ministry, experience and our close

On Friday, March 20, 2009, fifteen months after the City of Oakland, California, passed a law making it illegal to approach a woman entering an abortion clinic without her consent, Walter B.

As a National Black Pro-Life leader, Reverend Walter Hoye speaks for those who have no voice, understands that abortion takes the life of a child, an innocent human being, views the woman and child as one and demands men embrace their biblical roles as protector and provider.

Walter made headlines in 2009 when he was arrested for passing out pro-life information at an abortion facility in Oakland, California. Rev. Hoye’s peaceful action earned him a 30-day sentence in Alameda County’s Santa Rita Jail. His conviction has since been overturned.

Walter travels around the country and the world, full time, to convey a unique pro-life message only he can share. He is a widely requested speaker who addresses the "Pro-Life Movement" with special emphasis on the impact of "Abortion in the Black America", "Personhood" and the "Role of Men Meeting the Physical and Spiritual Needs of Women". Walter strongly believes … "The church must be reminded that it is not the master or the servant of the state, but rather the conscience of the state. It must be the guide and the cri
