Dear Ones,
Thursday began on a different note… Early in the morning as I prepared to leave for the abortion clinic the Lord spoke softly to my heart to pray for a miracle there… surprised I obeyed. In the car, not knowing about this, Michael prayed for a miracle there, saying as I had, that we know He is performing unseen miracles all the time there, but felt led of the Lord to ask. Then still in the car, Leah having Psalms 86 ready to share read verse 17, “Shew me a token for good; that they which hate me may see it, and be ashamed: because thou, LORD, hast holpen me, and comforted me. ” At that point we began to wonder if something was indeed going to happen there…. but we were very excited when Jim Tuttle, not knowing anything about this, prayed,”Lord show us a miracle today.” !!! So we rejoiced and laid all this at the feet of our Father in Heaven. And now we do rejoice the more… a baby was saved yesterday! A couple that had gone in came out arm in arm, the girl was beaming, and said she had changed her mind! Jim Tuttle hugged them both and gave praise to the Lord. He gave them a gift and material and information and asked them to contact him. Please pray for Rose and Jack that we might be able to see them again and minister to them. We all rejoice in this wonderful “token for good” this has enlightened us a great deal… God is moving in unseen ways and He is answering prayer, moving mountains and working great wonders… seen and unseen!!!!!
We made many pleas for the babies condemned to die as the mothers went in… one girl turned and asked us if we wanted her baby… we said “YES!” but she went in anyway ignoring us. We gave the gospel to some girls, one said she didn’t believe in God… but we told her He died for her sins anyway… another asked, “what if I am Jewish?”.. we responded, “That’s alright He died for the Jews too.”All this was spoken as they made fast track for the clinic… only our Lord knows the outcome of these things! We are so glad that many girls took packets of information!! Nine went in, 3 left and 1 confirmed save!!!!
Michael noticed a truck pull up near him with an older man and a young girl. Thinking it was probably her dad he walked up the window and offered the packet, which the man refused. The girl got out of the car and refused the material that Michael offered to her, so he began to counsel and plea for the baby as she made her way to the clinic. The older man jumped out of the car with great anger and shoved his fist into Michael’s shoulder (not too hard) and wagged his finger saying ,”you are crossing a line.” Michael’s response was “God loves you.” and the man turned and left.
We were able to minister to a women that was raped and give her the gospel and a Bible… please pray for Lora and Bill and the little one year old boy with them. She said she wasn’t pregnant, but still we were able to let her know that abortion is worse then rape.
It was an unusually cold October day in Duluth MN. yesterday, wind chill brought down the temps. with snow. In front of P.P. with our witness of truth, our Lord gave us extra strength to hold tight to the signs and endure the cold (of course we dressed warm) A lady pulled up in her car and gave us all hot cocoa and some coffee… we were appreciative, it helped a great deal! We know there are many that appreciate the truth being proclaimed on the streets. The lady’s name is Ann, please pray for her. Two girls took packets of information!
A long report today, but exciting to us how God is answering prayer… THANK YOU for prayer…. how wonderful! The labor of prayer (fervent) of a righteous man does avail much!
Please continue to pray for next week, Wednesday October 18th at 7:30- 10:30 am, abortions are scheduled. Also for Thursday in front of P.P. Pray that our Lord will convict the hearts of men and women to turn from destroying life, and look to the giver of life,our Saviour, Jesus Christ! On Friday of next week, we hope to go to a High School in Superior WI. and pass out information as we hold our signs, please pray for witnessing opportunities and the truth be made known to many.
We had many opportunities to give the gospel yesterday… please continue to pray that we will have many more. Pray that our Lord will convict hearts of sin and many will be saved.
Please pray that the girls at both locations will take the packets of information offered.
We can thank Him for answering these prayers to sweetly, He is really working wonders through them!!!!
Our Lord continue to give His richest blessings to you!
Lovingly in our Lord Jesus Christ,
Sarah
