Dearest Ones,

Six women heard the gentle pleadings for the life of their unborn child as sidewalk counselors offered help and resources to them. The whole area was covered in prayer as two prayer warriors prayed near the Building For Women of Duluth MN. We are so thankful for their prayers and the answer that God provided!

Praise God for His great protection on Leah yesterday~
Yesterday we were at the Building for Women Duluth Mn. to plead for the lives of the unborn, and to proclaim the gospel of Jesus Christ. An abortion minded women who was going to the Building for Women, passed Leah and pulled out a knife, turned and pointed it at Leah’s throat. Please read Leah’s report in her own words:

Yesterday morning my Mom and I, were at the Building For Women in Duluth MN, to plead for the lives of unborn babies (sidewalk counsel) with Jim Tuttle of Pro-Life Ministries of Duluth. I saw a lady walking toward the building, who I figured must be a client. Before I could talk to her or approach her with literature, she snapped open a knife. She waved the point at me saying, “Don’t come near me!” I stayed where I was and said, “Please don’t kill your baby, fear God.” She walked past into the courtyard, so I moved to the fence corner to continue counseling. She then turned around, came up to me and held the point of the knife at my throat! The thought flashed through my mind, “What if she stabs me?” and then, “That’s ok.” God gave me great peace as I looked into her angry eyes and said, “Fear God. You need to fear God Ma’am.” She turned around, and began to walk through the court yard again. My Mom, Sarah, who was standing at the other end of the fence, called out to her, “We love you, and care about you, don’t kill your baby.” The women turned and waved the knife at her yelling, “I’m certified crazy, that’s why I’m doing this!” She then went into the building.

Jim Tuttle called the police and they arrived very quickly, seven squad cars strong. Several went immediately into the building, and shortly came out with the women in handcuffs, she was crying. They interviewed us, had us write reports, and told us that this is a felony offence. My Mom told two of the officers that we feel very sad for the women who did this, and we will be praying for her. One of the officers looked shocked at that.

A local TV newsman showed up and interviewed us. We were able to give glory to God for His protection and testify that God says, “You shall not murder.” I explained that we are living in a culture of death, and if they believe it is fine to kill babies in the womb, what would be the difference killing someone out of the womb? He wanted to know if this would change my mind about coming out to talk to the abortion clients. I said “No, not at all! I am excited that God protected me.” My Mom told him that we care about the women who did this, forgive her, and want her to know that if she came to Jesus Christ and was saved, God would completely change her.

God allowed this all to happen for a reason, and I greatly desire that His name be glorified through this incident. Our God is worthy to be praised! Psalm 91 was going through my head… “He that dwells in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. I will say of the LORD, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in him will I trust.” (Psalms 91:1-2) Praise God for His mercy, not only on me for protection, but also in the fact that this lady still has her baby!

As the police were leaving, a young women ran into the building very quickly. After a few minutes she came out onto the sidewalk, and seemed to be waiting for someone. My Mom talked to her, and she turned out to be the friend of the women who had just been arrested. Not knowing what had just happened, she had come to support her friend, but was told that her friend had left the building quickly. They didn’t even tell her why or in what state she had left! So we were able to minister to this women, her name is, Melissa and her friend, who had been arrested is Michelle. My Mom shared the gospel with her, gave her a Bible, and asked if we could visit Michelle in jail. She agreed that it might be possible.

Please pray for these two women. I do forgive Michelle, and pray that she will be saved, she needs Jesus. Only God knows what He will do with this situation, we pray that He will be glorified!

In the article above Lorie Casey, (executive director of the Women’s Health Center of Duluth, a tenant in the building.) is quoted as saying, “We abhor violence of any kind,”

We are grieved and very sad at the violence to unborn people that is done at the Women’s Health Center of Duluth. What could be more violent then to rip off arms and limbs of living people? Truly those involved at the Women’s Health Center are greatly deceived if they think that abortion is not a great violent act against people, and a great crime against God and mankind.

Thank you for Prayer!

Please continue to pray, as we plan to be back at the Building For Women next week… abortions are scheduled and the violent killing of unborn children goes on.

May our Lord Jesus Christ always be praised! He answers prayer and brings justice!

In His love always,

Sarah

And he said, The LORD is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer;
The God of my rock; in him will I trust: he is my shield, and the horn of my salvation, my high tower, and my refuge, my savior; you save me from violence.
I will call on the LORD, who is worthy to be praised: so shall I be saved from my enemies.
When the waves of death surrounded me, the floods of ungodly men made me afraid;
The sorrows of Sheol surrounded me; the snares of death confronted me;
In my distress I called upon the LORD, and cried to my God: and he did hear my voice out of his temple, and my cry did enter into his ears.

(2 Samuel 22:2-7)
