Dear Ones,
Greetings and much love sent your way! Thank you for prayers for the ministry and for us… Wow! God is moving so mightily that I dare not think too hard about it or I might burst with amazement!
There were 22 girls scheduled for an abortion on Thursday, and 3 “no show”, which we Praise God for!
One sidewalk counselor, Matt, spoke to a man that was walking to the clinic and asked; “Sir, would you consider going in and rescuing your son or daughter?”… the man answered, “that’s what I’m doing right now”… and later he came out holding hands with his girlfriend and smiling. Mr. Tuttle spoke to them and shook hands with the man. How we praise God for this baby saved from death!
A man came up to Leah and I and told us that he and his girlfriend had gathered the money together and made a long trip down to Snt.Paul MN., so she could have an abortion there. While walking out of the parking area a man handed them some papers, which they thought pertained to the parking lot. When they opened the papers there were pictures of aborted babies and information concerning abortion. They went on into the clinic and filled out all the forms, but when it came for her turn to go into the room for an abortion, she changed her mind, the pictures had made her realize what she was about to do. Now, 11 years later, they have a beautiful daughter. He said if it had not been for that man, they wouldn’t have her today! He told us this to encourage us to continue doing what we do! Praise God for that kind word, and we are very encouraged!
When Leah and I were in the alley and singing the gospel to some of the workers … a few couples came out to smoke. We kept singing since the escort, Mr. Katz, went over to them and began talking so they couldn’t hear us plead for the life of the babies. They could hear us as we sang “Jesus loves the little children.” “Jesus loves me” and other songs.. one of the girls began swaying back and forth and making fun of us… but we felt led to sing so we did.
A mother that came with her daughter told us she and her husband had tried every way to persuade their daughter not to abort the baby, but she wouldn’t listen. This mother is not typical of most that come with their daughters… often times they are very hostile and aggressively out spoken against us as we plea for the life of the innocent baby. We didn’t know what to say to this poor mother, how sad and difficult this is.
At Planned Parenthood 3 girls took material, and our signs were read by hundreds driving past, with some honking & waving and others cursing & yelling. Since the time we asked for pray that there wouldn’t be any car accidents while we are there, none have occurred! Praise God!
Abortions are scheduled for the next three Tuesdays at 8:00 a.m. This coming Tues. Mr. Tuttle will not be there so please remember to pray for our safety as well.
Our Prayer needs will be as follow:
May 1st, 8th and the 15th at the abortion clinic.
Please pray:
For mothers to change their minds about abortion.
For mothers to take the material we offer them..
That we will let God lead us in what we should say to each girl as they are walking to the abortion clinic.
That we will be able to give the gospel to many people.
That many will come to salvation.
That God will protect us and glorify His Name through this work.
May 3rd, 10th, 17th, 24th and 31st, in front of Planned Parenthood.
Pray that:
God will use our signs to reach the hearts and minds of many to change their minds about P.P. and abortion.
That many girls will take the materials we offer,
That we will have opportunities to give the gospel to those walking past.
That there will be no car accidents while we are there.
Thank you for prayer.. What a joy to know that God is working so mightily because of it!
In the Perfect love of our Lord Jesus Christ,
Sarah
