Dearest Ones,

We were at the abortion clinic today and thank you so much for prayer! We were blessed greatly with a sense of God’s love and peace and felt an incredible amount of love for the people we saw.

10 mothers heard the cry for mercy on their own little child as they made their way to the abortion clinic this morning.  One mother did stop to talk with us saying she has one child at home but she is going to school and just can’t have another one right now. We explained to her with pictures the personhood of the child in the womb and she agreed saying she knew already but was having the abortion anyway. What horror! But sadly it has come to our attention more than ever before that many and perhaps most of the mothers going in for an abortion do understand the development and personhood of the child in the womb. It’s not so much being uninformed any more as it is hardness and callousness of heart. We make an appeal to them to fear God and turn to Him. Please pray for us concerning how we should use Scripture more and just how to communicate the gospel more.

Matt was standing at the corner of the sidewalk in front of the abortion clinic holding a sign that had a baby picture with, “together we’ll make it.” An angry man pulled up in his truck and began yelling at Matt and Michael asking,”Why do you think you have a right to force your opinions on everybody else?” and, “Don’t you think this would make women feel uncomfortable?” Michael said that he would hope that women would feel uncomfortable (concerning having an abortion.) .. the man jumped out of his car and almost hit Michael, then cursed him and spoke more angry words. Michael, Matt and Jim all spoke with him with gentle answers but he became more angry and finally yelled that he hoped a sniper gets each and everyone of us. Please pray for this man, he is under great conviction, (perhaps assisted a girlfriend to get an abortion?) We know that much of the time there is great guilt and anger in post abortive parents.

Please pray:

July 24 Thursday, abortions are scheduled. Please pray for the mothers to change their minds and for hearts to be softened. Please pray that we will know how to use scripture more and give the gospel more, for us to have wisdom.

Please remember every Thursdays as we stand in front of Planned Parenthood in Duluth MN. with signs to expose the works of darkness that they are involved in.

Please remember the Yoder family as they go each week to plead for the lives of the unborn in Kansas City MO. They are faithful in this work and in giving the gospel.

Please pray for the salvation of Laurie Casey, the new director of the Building for Women, and for Tina Welsh, Mr. and Mrs. Katz, and Mr. Anderson. Also for the workers involved in the abortions, these need to be saved.

Please pray that we will be faithful witnesses for the Gospel and for many opportunities to give it.

Lovingly in Him,
Sarah

Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by our gathering together unto him, That ye be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from us, as that the day of Christ is at hand. Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition; Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God. Remember ye not, that, when I was yet with you, I told you these things? And now ye know what withholdeth that he might be revealed in his time. For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way. And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming: Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders, And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.
(2 Thessalonians 2:1-12)
