Dearest Ones, Today there were over 14 that went into the building for an abortion. We prayed much for them and asked them to spare the life of their baby. The atmosphere was very hostile, with cursing and yelling at us. Even so, different people that were just passing by took tracts and talked to some of the counselors. The gospel was given out which we praise God for!
A girl came out of the abortion building and sat down. We asked her if she had changed her mind about abortion and she yelled, “Yes, now leave me alone.” The girl’s mother came to pick her up. As the girl got into the car we tried to tell her about the help and resources we have to offer, the mother said, “leave her alone, she’s not doing it!” This was very different to what we are use to, but we praise God for answers to prayer and for this baby saved from death!
Just as we were about to leave, Pamela came walking by with her brother, (Pamela changed her mind about abortion 2 months ago.) She gave us all hugs. She told us that the baby is 4 months along now and she feels good. It was very encouraging to us all to see her and we hope she will come to the women’s Bible Study Thursday mornings at 10:30… please remember this in prayer.
The next abortion day is Friday October 26 at 7:30-10:00 am. Please pray for changed hearts and minds about abortion. Please pray for opportunities to give the gospel to people and for the salvation of souls.
Every Thursday in front of Planned Parenthood we are holding signs for a witness of truth against the lies of Planned Parenthood. Please pray for more opportunities to give the gospel, salvation of souls and that many will become alerted and aware about the evils of Planned Parenthood. Please pray that many will take the packets of info we offer.
Every Wednesday the Yoder Family in MO. go to the abortion clinic in Kansas City MO. Please pray for them as well; For opportunities to give the gospel and salvation of souls, for mothers to change their minds about abortion and for the Yoder’s safety as they plea for the lives of the unborn.
Praise God! Our Lord Jesus Christ does all things well! ALL glory be to Him forever!
lovingly in His Name,
Sarah
worthy of the vocation wherewith ye are called…
Ephesians 4:1, King James Version
Last Tues. sixteen came for an abortion and heard the cry from the sidewalk
counselors against the murder of their babies.
While on the sidewalk we worshiped the Lord in song and prayer, reading
scripture and praying for changed hearts and minds. One lady who was passing
by listened intently to the gospel but would not take material.. pleas pray
for Tanya.
Two women left the building while we were there. One girl that was smoking
outside listened to Leah’s plea for her baby; “your baby is a person right
now…” The girl walked over to Leah who showed her pictures of developing
babies, including a 14 wk old baby’s hand fully developed and described the
development at that stage in pregnancy… she was 14 weeks pregnant. Then
Lori showed her pictures of what abortion looks like… The girl cried, but
they were unable to get information from her since she had to leave right
away… so we believe this to be another baby save, though not confirmed.
Yesterday, Tues. There were 11 mothers that went in for an abortion, and
heard our pleas for the babies. Three left early but one couple talked to us
and said they had changed their minds about abortion. They are from a small
town in the upper peninsula near the Michigan boarder. They told us that
while in the building and filling out the papers for an abortion, they
realized that they could not go through with it, that it was too hard.
Praise God! We know this was the working of God through prayer! They were
not willing to stay and talk more…seemed embarrassed and left.
But it was not a day without trials as a service vehicle (like an electric
golf cart) intentionally swerved and came within inches of Leah and I while
we were in the alley. Please pray for the lady driving it… Mr. Tuttle
confronted her about it, (she works in the parking building next to the
abortion clinic) she acted surprised, yet apologized. It was a very serious
thing, and I think she was surprised that we confronted her. God is teaching
us things through these experiences… I was upset, being a Mother, my
protective instincts came out for my daughter, Leah. Please pray for us to
have godly responses when we are persecuted in this work. We do praise and
thank Him for His protection! The gospel was given to people on the streets
passing by.. the gospel witness was strong!
Our plans are to go Thursday Oct. 4, to Virginia MN. for pro-life work
against the Planned Parenthood there. Traveling from Duluth at 9:30 … than
coming back in time to be in Duluth MN. at 2:00 for the witness there. We
have changed the hours to 2:00-3:15 p.m. since traffic becomes very thick
around 3:30, we think it might be a good idea to end before that time…
even though less people will see the signs, yet perhaps we can avoid being
blamed for accidents.
Please pray for next Thursday October 11 as we expect many things to take
place that day:
One: abortions are scheduled at 7:30 a.m. please pray for changed hearts and
minds about abortion… also that we might be able to give the gospel to
many and some might be saved.
Two… We plan to begin a women’s Bible study: 10:00 a.m. every Thursday
for the women that we have had contact with through the street witness and
baby saves. Please pray for a positive response and for women to come to
this, if it be God’s will for this to take place.
Three: The witness for truth in front of P.P. that those who read the signs
might be convicted of sin and realize the perversion of P.P. . For
opportunities to give the gospel and for women to take material that we
offer as they leave the building. Also for no car accidents.
Praise God for everything! all glory be to Him!
In the love of our Lord Jesus Christ,
Sarah
