Dearest Ones,

The month of January has been challenging and difficult. Being out on the streets with the frigged winter winds that often blow off  from the great lake of Superior is not fun. We know no matter how uncomfortable the temperatures may be to us, God has us there. Lives are more precious than our comfort!
Above all, our hearts are so grieved and sad when we see mothers carrying their little one into the Building For Women in Duluth MN, to be murdered.

The definition of murdered in the dictionary is: “To kill brutally or inhumanly.\ To spoil by ineptness; mutilate:”  Ineptness means:” Not apt or fitting; inappropriate”

My family and I have been involved in the pro-life work in Duluth MN, for 5 years now. Jim Tuttle has been doing this work for well over 12 years, and Lori over 8 years. At the first I wondered how things would seem after a few years of seeing women so calloused and determined to kill their little one, or hearing and seeing the anger and hatred directed toward us because we plead for the life of the helpless, or try to expose what is happening to them. I wondered if we would become calloused to them, or indifferent. Well, I’m happy to say that our hearts have only enlarged for the babies and for the souls of those who are needing to hear to gospel of Jesus Christ. God has caused us to love MORE and care MORE than ever before. It seems with each passing week we are stronger in the Lord Jesus and in His love as He is teaching us to do what HE has done;

“And the Lord make you to increase and abound in love one toward another, and toward all men, even as we do toward you:
To the end he may establish your hearts unblamable in holiness before God, even our Father, at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ with all his saints.”
(1 Thessalonians 3:12-13)

“By this perceive we the love of God, because he laid down his life for us: and we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren.” (1 John 3:16)

We know it is only God who is to be glorified. We are thankful to Him for not only using us to plead for the lives of those condemned to die, and give the gospel to the lost, but also for growing us closer to Himself.

I am very sad to say that in the month of January 2010, we saw about 51 young mothers walk very quickly into the Building For Women Duluth MN. to have an abortion at the Women’s Health Center, ( A part of the, Feminist Abortion Network.) We did see 4 women all together that left the building early, and we are very hopeful that they had changed their minds about having an abortion. We have great confidence in God that many more leave early, and keep their little one, but that is information we may never know. I remember a day a couple of years ago, when a man walking past saw what we were doing and immediately thanked us. He told us that it is because of people like us that he has an eleven year old son. Someone had given him and his wife some material as they were heading into an abortion mill. After reading the material they realized they had an unborn child, not a blob of tissue, and could not kill their baby. The person who gave them the material never knew about them, but now we know and are encouraged that there are many, many such stories. We praise God for He is the One to be glorified!

On Tuesday Jan 19, 2010, a women passed by and I asked her if she knew why we were there. Yes, she knew, but claimed to be a Christian and was on “middle ground” on the issue. I told her there is no middle ground and gave her these verses: “Before I formed you in the womb I knew you; and before you came forth out of the womb I sanctified you…” (Jeremiah 1:5) , I will praise you; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvelous are your works; and that my soul knows right well. My frame was not hid from you, when I was made in secret, and skillfully wrought in the lowest parts of the earth. Your eyes did see my substance, being yet unformed; and in your book they were all written, the days fashioned for me, when as yet there were none of them. (Psalms 139:14-16) I reminded her of God’s command, “You shall not murder.” This poor women said to me,”You’ve killed an insect before haven’t you?”  Can a person really be so dull in their understanding to think that killing an insect is the same as killing a precious person that God has created after His own Image?  We are grieved with this kind of thinking. Have we come to this in America? The minds of men and women so reprobate that they can no longer value the things that are eternal and truly valuable?  We are the creation of God, and He is the One that values us. He showed this by coming to earth as a man, Jesus Christ. He came to die a cruel death on the cross to bear our sins and rise again from the dead. If He is rejected and mankind turns to mankind for answers,  they will be left with empty and hopeless reasoning’s. See: http://www.sarahsprolife.com/blog/if-you-die-today-would-you-go-to-heaven/

We have many prayer requests, and they seem to be the same week by week but please do not forget to pray for this work! It is through prayer that God is moving in hearts and minds!

Please pray:

• Please continue to pray! Abortions are scheduled next week at the Building For Women in Duluth MN.

• Pray that mothers will change their minds about taking the life of their unborn child.

• Pray that we might proclaim the gospel to the parents and to people there for the salvation of souls.

• Pray that we will speak as God leads us and have the right words to say to each parent.

• Pray that the escorts will not be able to interfere with the counseling we offer to the young parents.

• Pray for the salvation of Laurie Casey, Tina Welsh, Alan and Virginia Katz, Andy Anderson, Tish and the others that are partners in killing innocent unborn children.

• Pray that God will foil all the plans that The Building For Women make. Pray that He will confound them and cause the place to be shut down and for no more abortions to be performed in Duluth MN.

• Pray for Jim Tuttle of Pro-Life Ministries of Duluth ,One of God’s faithful warriors, Jim goes in front of the Building For Women in Duluth MN. every week day and prays, holds signs and pleads for the life of unborn people. Pray for the work that he and others do every Thursday, holding signs and informing people about Saint Mary’s Hospital’s involvement in Health Partners Insurance company. This company owns an abortion clinic that does late term abortions.

• Pray for those that hold signs in front of Planned Parenthood every Thursday to expose the work that corrupts the youth and encourages abortions.

• Please pray for the dear Yoder family that live in MO. They have eight children and yet every week they go to Kansas City MO. to plead for unborn people and to give the gospel.

• Another family in Ohio goes every weekend to two different abortion clinics in Columbus to plead for the lives of unborn children. Please pray for them as well.

Pray that we will continue to sing the praises of God while on the streets and for strength, good health and courage in God for all of those doing this work.

With love in our Lord Jesus Christ,

Sarah

” Unless the LORD builds the house, they labor in vain that build it: unless the LORD keeps the city, the watchman wakes, but in vain.
It is vain for you to rise up early, to sit up late, to eat the bread of sorrows: for so he gives his beloved sleep.
Lo, children are a heritage of the LORD: and the fruit of the womb is his reward.
As arrows are in the hand of a mighty man; so are children of the youth.
Happy is the man that has his quiver full of them: they shall not be ashamed, but they shall speak with the enemies in the gate.”
(Psalms 127:1-5)
