Dear Ones,
Jesus Christ our Lord is using the continued prayer of His saints to accomplish so many wonderful things! We are praising our Lord and thanking Him, it is wonderful to be able to trust Him for things we cannot see. 1Co 15:58 Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord.
The volunteer escorts seem to be more vigorous in their attempts to convince the mothers to go through with abortion. They are walking them to the doors, closing the visors so we can’t see them climbing the stairs to the clinic, (When we see them we motion for them to come down.. we believe this to be the last voice of reason they will have before going in. Evidently it was helping but now the escorts make extra efforts to close them.) They talk to the mothers on cell phones before coming and tell them not to look at, talk to, or take any material. WHY??? If the mothers knew the truth, many, many, would change their minds and not got through with it. We see that the enemy is using these two ( a husband and wife team) to accomplish the evil practice of sacrificing their sons and daughters for the sake of pleasure, money, and freedom from responsibility… so they think… but the heavy weight they carry after destroying life is deeper and darker then they could ever guess.
It was difficult to see how well the escorts were convincing the mothers. Yet we made the plea for the life of the unborn and passed out many gospel tracts to people passing by, even they seemed colder yesterday. We have a very life-like baby doll which we lay on the cement along with a poster of a newly developing baby. Yesterday a young mother that was passing by stopped, looked at the poster and just hugged the doll for a bit. Five years ago she was raped and became pregnant, others advised her to abort but she refused to “kill my kid” and gave her baby up for open adoption, now she is pregnant again, four weeks along. When she learned the building was an abortion clinic she said “than this building should be bombed.” …. we don’t agree with violence but understand the feelings… we pray that God will shut the building down, He knows what to do with it.
Only one person took a packet of information in front of Planned Parenthood yesterday, but for some reason it was closed and those that came to it were not happy to find it closed. Still we held our witness of truth as planned and pray it was used to the glory of God.We have learned that some have actually changed their minds about abortion after reading our signs! Next week P.P. is passing out;”Plan B” for free on Sept. 6th, next Wed. We plan to be there with signs and the next day on the 7th… please pray more will take the packets on those days!
On Sept. 12th we are planning a six mile life walk please remember us in prayer that the witness for truth will be strong as we walk through the streets of Duluth MN.
Prayer is needed… please remember the escorts as God leads you to pray… we seek for their salvation, and also for God to foil their plans against life, (Perhaps that they will not be able to come.). Pray that the mothers will take packets of information and listen to our pleas. That our Lord will make our witness strong and He will foil the attempts of the enemy to weaken and discourage us. Pray that babies will be saved, also souls will come to be saved as we give the gospel.
God works greatly through the fervent prayer of His saints…. it avails much! I am sending this email as a witness to the fact that we need prayer and we know God works through it… we know it honors Him to seek for it!
Lovingly in Him always,
Sarah
