Dear Ones,
Since I know you are praying, it is good to keep an update going of all that happens when we are at the abortion clinic. We are being so blessed doing this work that our smiling and praising God there on the streets is noticed of many passing by, week by week. Surely we are a curiosity to them and a peculiar people. All glory to God for His wondrous work that He is doing, through the prayers, praise and thanksgiving of His saints!
Yesterday temperatures were a couple of degrees above zero, so we were jumping and stamping because it helped keep our feet warm, not because we were dancing. We sang with slurred words, because our mouth was frozen. We dress warm and pray our Lord will keep us warm enough and He does! There were about eight couples that went in, and we gave gentle pleas on behalf of the babies. About four or so took material, we pray they might look at it and share it with others in the building. How we pray they will change their minds as they look and read what abortion really is, the murder of innocent children. How earnestly we pray to God to do a great work according to His will.
Michael offered a tract to a man passing in the alley, he cursed him and said, “get out of here.” We are holding a sign that says,” Take my hand, not my life.” with a picture of a small baby holding out his hand. One lady stopped and expressed her surprise to know that abortions were being done in Duluth. Some stop to thank us for being there, others curse us, most ignore us…. but we always offer a gospel tract as our Lord leads.
Last week I failed to mention something; Leah offered some material to a certain couple that went in, they refused and the man said. “Stop trying to push your religious material on people, why don’t you get a job.” Leah replied, “Our job is to serve our King, Jesus Christ” He came back with, “What, an invisible God that is not real?” sweetly Leah replied, “He is real.” He just walked on, but Yvonne asked him to,”Take charge and don’t kill your precious baby.” He didn’t respond and a little later they both walked out laughing… we have learned that some of the girls that go in for an abortion are given a pill while there, if they are early enough in pregnancy. The pill is known as, “RU486″, which causes a chemical abortion and usually after some discomfort they abort the baby that night or next morning. Please pray for this couple for their salvation in particular, as we are especially burdened for them.
Tomorrow, March 8th, we plan to be in front of Planned Parenthood with signs of truth against the lies of P.P. also on March 15th., next Thursday.
Please pray for:
Safety and no car accidents will occur while we are out there.
That many women will receive the material we offer as they leave the building.
That we and the signs will be used by God to speak to the hearts of some as they drive by.
That we might be able to give the gospel to some.
Next Friday March 16th, abortions are scheduled…. we plan to be there to plea for the lives of those condemned to die, the innocent unborn babies.
Please pray for:
Mothers to change their minds, start to pray for them now.
Direction from God for the sidewalk counselors to know what to say and how to communicate the love of God and the gospel.
Opportunities to give the gospel to them and those passing on the streets.
That the building for women, where the abortions are being done, will be shut down and abortions will stop in Duluth MN.
Thank you, Thank you for prayers!!!!
With oceans of love in our Lord Jesus Christ,
Sarah
