Dear Ones,
Today our hearts are heavy with the burden of lost souls and darkened minds that we met, but this sorrow for them causes more prayer and that’s a good thing. Michael was confronted by a worker as he called out, “God has a better plan for your life” she stormed over in anger to tell him he should be ashamed that being a man how does he know anything about women’s issues, he responded,”this building is dripping with innocent blood” and tried to show her pictures of aborted babies…others things were said and she stormed away as we spoke scripture to her.
One girl was receptive as I handed her literature, she was there with her friend who was told her baby is deformed. I said there were people that would love and care for that child, and deformity does not lesson the value of a person. With a promise to look at the material and show her friend,she went in. Five sidewalk counselors came today from Hayward WI. to join our group so there were eleven of us on the streets. Many were able to give the gospel out, it was wonderful! All together six couples went it and two couples left but wouldn’t talk to us. We do not often see results, still each time we are there we open our mouths in praise to God, praying and worshipping Him. We often sing a Hymn or two together as a group there and pray out for God to have mercy on the mothers and babies… God is working and we thank Him!
On the street we met the young couple again that had confronted us on the last part of our ten mile life walk… the girl told me we make her feel terrible, and please don’t pray for her. She had a recent abortion and said it was for medical reasons… which is not true, just another excuse. Sunday a special speaker is coming to Duluth who is post abortive but now saved and gives talks around the country to help post abortive women. Please pray for Stacy and Austin that they might come to the talk. We think the Lord is speaking strongly to them even now as our prayers have been many for them.
Thursday in front of Planned Parenthood was a blessing as we prayed for thirty minutes first and then held the witness for truth signs. Two girls took packets! Hundreds passed us with the usual cursing and blessings… please pray more girls will take the packets of literature which exposes what P.P. is doing.
Finally, the Fourth of July Parade was so glorifying to God that we know the only way it was so successful was due to the prayers of His saints! About four hundred and fifty tracts and papers were passed out. Thousands of people saw the float and many times there was a hush in the crowd as we passed by. We heard some say “How sad”, some clapped, some yelled, “Choice” but not many. When we passed the announcer of the floats read from the paper, ” Pro-Life Action Ministries, stopping abortion on life at a time” then he read on and suddenly began to stutter as he finished the reading…. This had to have been the hand of God as normally this would not have been read! Praise Our Lord Jesus Christ forever!
Thank you for praying! “Not by might ,nor by power but by my Spirit saith the Lord God Almighty”…. Prayer and His Spirit working brings glory to His Name!
We know next Thursday we plan to be in front of P.P. again but we don’t know the clinic day yet… will let you know!
In His love always,
Sarah
