Dear Ones,
Yesterday we were at the abortion center at 7:30a.m. and gathered to begin with prayer, a mother went in just as we finished and gave us all an angry and disgusted look; shook her head angrily when offered material, and this is what our morning there was like, a hostile environment with curses, angry words, and no one taking material. We felt that something was lacking and believe it was the prayer of the saints of God. We can always tell when prayers are made and we can tell when they are not. I cannot say I understand the mystery of how God works so powerfully through the prayers of His saints, but when one enters into a spiritual battle front against strongholds of satan the evidence of prayer cannot be denied.
Even though I did make mention of the need for prayer last week for this day, I should have sent out a reminder. This is a lesson for me indeed, to be more constant informing and reminding about prayer for this great need. Thank you for prayer, the very heart of the working of God, time could not be better invested as we come before Him in prayer!
We were able to give the gospel to several people and hand out many gospel tracts. One older American Indian women confronted us about the abortion building, saying it should be closed down and thought we needed to do something other than prayer. We were able to tell her of the power of God through His Son, our Lord Jesus Christ but she mentioned “the great spirit”…. we were able to point her to the Lord as being God and the Saviour…. she was surprised to hear this and took a tract and Bible… please pray for her. Also for “Fairbe” a young girl that heard the gospel and claimed to already be saved, she lives with her ungodly mother and faces heavy struggles. We didn’t see Rick, but we pray for him daily.
Today we return to the front lines at Planned Parenthood and ask for prayer, that hearts will be softened and receive the materials and tracts we give out. We pray the signs will be read, and some might think about what is being said, be convicted of sin and turn to God. Please pray for no car accidents as well!
Next Tuesday we plan to go to the abortion center from 7:30 – 10:30 a.m. please pray for the mothers to receive the material and hearts and minds will be changed. We hope in our Lord to work according to His will, we are only a channel He has chosen to use. Please pray that the Name of our Lord Jesus Christ will be glorified through all that we do there.
Lovingly in our Lord,
Sarah
