On Reformation day, October 31, we decided to go do some street preaching while people were out trick-or-treating. We started what some may call a protest of Halloween that morning by putting a sign out in front of our house that said "Happy Reformation Day, Rejecting Halloween since 1517." That night even though some of the family had colds, Daddy, Me and my younger sister went out to Main street in Thomaston so Daddy could do some preaching. There was a good amount of people out in our town, probably 500 people in 90 minutes. When you consider that we live in a town of 2,200 people any group that big is considered a big crowd! Most people did not say anything about us being out there. One person said something about it being sad us kids "were being exposed to that stuff", (the Gospel I would assume as we were only passing out tracts).
Some other street preachers around the country picked some good places to go out on Reformation Day. Mike Stockwell, Robert Gray, Don Cairns, Bobby McCreery and I believe Scott and Patte Smith, all decided to go to Salem, Massachusetts on the night of October 31! They had a very interesting crowd to say the least, people dressed up like devils and many other things. Halloween is just one more event that shows how wicked the people of this world are and the celebrations always take place under cover of darkness.
Today we were able to go back out to the abortion mill once again! Daddy has now finished his class and has a job which gives him every other Friday off. Which means we can go out and do abortion ministry every other week! I look forward to the time of fellowship that we will be able to have with all our brothers and sisters who faithfully serve the Lord in this way.
Today we had a few less Christians than usual out at the abortion mill. We were still a good size group though compared to other places in the country. There were probably 14 people out there and the Gospel was preached for over 3 hours straight.
Daddy and Brian got to deal with one man who was a Black Hebrew Israelite. He came up and started talking to Daddy and then Brian talked to him for a while. One older homeless man tried telling us that he worked for the Governor and that we needed to make sure we did not break the law or else "they would come down hard on [us]". This man was talking to Mommy, who was standing at the car and after talking to her for a while went up to talk to my friend Chloe. I went up and stood next to her and someone else from our group, Rachel, was there as well, Daddy was not far away talking to someone else. The man then tried telling Chloe that she should not break the law. I told him we were exercising our freedom of speech, then he raised his voice to us, causing Daddy to come over and say that he would have to ask the man to step back from the women and children.
I was told that last week people standing out at the abortion mill got drenched with rain, yet they still stood out there for the lives of unborn babies. Our brothers and sisters who stand out there would rather stand out in the cold and rain and wind, rather then let these babies be led to the slaughter without a voice pleading for their lives.
Prayer
Please pray for our country as they elect a new president this week. Pray for whoever will be the next leader of this country that God would save them from their sin and grant them repentance and faith in Jesus Christ. Pray also that God would grant them wisdom as they lead this country. I was thinking if Hillary Clinton becomes president we should get together with all the ladies from Cell53 and write a letter to Mrs. Clinton about our thoughts on abortion, feminism, women's rights, salvation, the attack on christian's freedom of speech and maybe other things.
By the way, Daddy and Mommy are voting for
TOM HOEFLING FOR PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA!!!
With love in the Lord,
Virginia.
