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
