Dear Ones,
Thank you again for your prayers for today. Oh it’s such a spiritual battle at the abortion clinic, the enemy desires to kill and destroy, all of us doing the sidewalk counsel see this and know it. Today was interesting, personally I did not feel strong again, but as Leah and I were standing in the back alley of the building (sometimes the mothers chose to go in that way and we get an opportunity to say something to them) we began singing and praising our Lord Jesus softly and praying for the workers we could see going in. He strengthened us through the praise and prayer. Up at the entrance we talked to a man that said his wife had an abortion, even though it had happened years ago he was in tears. He is a man in great pain and mentioned that he had been in the Vietnam war and felt that God could never forgive him for his past. We gave him the glorious gospel message but I think he couldn’t stay to talk because he was too broken up, he thanked us and quickly walked away.
An older lady with her pregnant daughter asked me if I knew of a place to eat… I told them and gave them the packet of information, they took two things I offered and walked on. Another lady was leading her weeping daughter into the clinic.. they sat out side for a cigarette, and I called out to her… the young mother yelled “you don’t know what happened to me” I told her how sorry I was that it had happened but that her baby should not have to bear the agony of this cruel death because of it. I said many other things like “your baby is a person, you will never forget your baby, you’re a mother and you will be a mother forever”. We try to say things that might help them to think and realize the truth but we know only our Lord can make them understand. We always offer help, telling them that we are a ministry to help… This young mother swore at me and cursed as they went into the clinic..
A young father took the packet of information but his girlfriend just kept walking into the clinic, he followed her with it in his hand, it’s good he took it because it’s full of helpful contacts and pictures of babies that have been aborted. All together there was about fifteen that went in today… We are still praying even now that they will change their minds. We also pray for their salvation… oh my what terrible psychological consequence these women must face after they get an abortion… it destroys lives and minds… they need so much prayer.
Next Tuesday the pro-life group plans to go to Brainard MN. and pass out fliers door to door, and then stand in front of the Planned Parenthood that is there with signs of truth. The idea here is to get more people aware of what P.P. is doing to the youth… the lies and harm they are doing is worse then most understand. It is an institution for evil, encouraging and promoting immoral behavior and their target is the young people.It is a multi-million dollar business.
On Thursday of next week we plan to go back for sidewalk counseling at eight am till about ten and then front of P.P. from three to four.
thank you for praying, our Lord Jesus Christ be glorified forever!
