Dear Ones,
We are learning such valuable lessons on the streets of Duluth, such as the mysterious work that God does through the praise of His saints. We work very hard to keep our focus on praise of our Lord Jesus Christ, with prayers, songs and Scripture reading.
Nine went in for an abortion on Thursday, one took the packet and threw it away. There was allot of anger shown to us by people going in and out. One lady in a group of three told us we are sick people… I replied that it is very sick to kill innocent little babies. Another lady watched from a window shaking her head at us and writing down notes, a few couples came outside to smoke and we made more earnest pleas, which they ignored, but only our Lord knows how it may have reached their hearts.
We did have an opportunity to talk with Chad, a young man walking pass in the alley. He was angry since someone had given his eight month pregnant wife pictures of aborted babies. We explained the necessity of exposing the truth of what the abortion industry is doing to the babies and how the news media is saying nothing about it, therefore it must be brought out on the streets. We told him we were sorry that she had to see that and was offended, but other mothers eight months pregnant and planning to abort have seen those pictures and changed their minds. He seemed to understand but said there were too many people in the world any way… we said that is for God to decide, and he said he did not believe in God. We pointed him to creation and design of God not only in nature but also in the human body, so that he himself is a testimony of God’s existence.. Chad was open and listened, seemed to get very nervous and said he had to get to work… please pray for him… we see him often, perhaps we can speak with him again.
In front of P.P. with our signs, we praised the Lord in song and prayer… many couples went in, but three took the information packets while leaving.
Prayer needs:
Tuesday at 8:00 am. abortions are scheduled, please pray for mothers’ hearts to be softened and listen to the urging of God not to destroy life, also that they may take and read the information packets.
That our Lord will give us the right words to say as we plea for the innocent condemned to die.
To protect us and God will glorify His Name though our lives as we stand in front of P.P. at 3:00-4:00 pm. with witness of truth and more girls will take the packets offered.
That we may continue to praise our Lord earnestly while we are doing this work and always!
Thank you for prayer…
In the perfect love of our Lord Jesus Christ,
Sarah
