It is only by God's mercy that we are not in their place today

Hi everyone.
Sorry that I have not written a post in a while. This week was abortion ministry and while pretty much nothing spectacular happened all day, we heard the words that remind us that the cold weather, insults, hand gestures,etc are all worth it. "She changed her mind." I do not know for sure what the man who said it was referring to but if he meant that she decided not to have an abortion this indeed is good news! This year has been an amazing year in Portland. As far as I know 3 or maybe 4 babies have been saved and a police officer seemingly repented and left his station. God is truly working in Portland and we are blessed to be able to see it!

We recently found the Planned Parenthood Facebook page. Daddy did not comment on the posts because they could then make it blocked page so that we could no longer see it. But we did find out that when we post things about the abortion mill and tag Planned Parenthood in it, it comes up on their page. This means that everyone on their page should be able to see it. We did find a video from inside the abortion mill of our friend Brian Ingalls preaching! Though it was posted to show how "hateful the protesters are", Thank you to whoever posted the video for helping us share the Gospel with everyone in the group.

Someone posting on the PP Facebook page said that a "sneaking new protester" handed out some papers in the waiting room which shared options for life instead of abortion. I did not meet the person who did it but I am glad that someone was able to get in. If anyone posts anything on Facebook about abortion consider tagging Planned Parenthood so that their group will see it.

It has been said that you know you are doing something right when you have opposition. One week we had 8 "deathscorts". Planned Parenthood is probably nervous because God is at work and is saving babies that they were wanting to murder! When the enemy starts stepping up the amount of guards around their murderous industries you can assume that they are intimidated by your message.

As a man walked  by and told Daddy that Jesus never existed and abortion was a great idea that we should do more of, Daddy quoted Robert Gray in saying "Thank you for showing the wickedness of your heart". It seems like people can sometimes be trying to get on your nerves when they say "you inspired me to make a donation (to Planned Parenthood)". In saying this they are showing how wicked their hearts are and this statement is very fitting. Thank you Robert for introducing it to us.

Recently we watched a video of an abortion doctor who came out to protesters at another abortion mill. He brought out an actual dead baby that he had aborted to wave in the face of the protesters! Abortionists know that abortion is murder and they still do it. Anyone who has gone to medical school knows enough about the human body to know that a baby in the womb is a human being that is alive. The men and women around the world who perform abortions are wicked men and women who hate God but only God knows who He will save. We should not treat these people like a lost cause and we must remember that before God saved us we were no better than they are now.
It is only by God's mercy that we are not in their place today. It is our duty to proclaim Christ to them and pray for them. Please pray for this man's salvation and for the salvation of all other abortionists around the world!

On Friday one person said that Jesus loved her and everyone else in the building. She is wrong though. The Bible says that God is angry with the wicked everyday. God does not love the wicked! We love those in Planned Parenthood because we are commanded to love our enemies. We love them as human beings that are created in the image of God. We must continue to pray for them to be saved. But God knows if they are going to be saved and while we are told to love our enemies God cannot love wickedness, and He will not let the guilty go unpunished.

As I said not much happened this week but we were still able to proclaim Christ and that is what really matters. Our officer this week stayed busy even though not much happened. She stood there opening the door of Planned Parenthood! It is so sad to see law enforcement officers standing by not only agreeing with the murderers but actually opening the door for people who are going in! It is very ironic that this officer especially was in agreement with Planned Parenthood because this officer was black. If Margaret Sanger, Planned Parenthood's founder, had her way that woman would never have been born. Margaret Sanger was racist and if she had her way there would no longer be any black people in the world today. Black people are in no way inferior to those with lighter skin and those who are our brothers and sisters in Christ are equally part of the bride of Christ, contrary to Mormon theology but that is another discussion.

Margaret Sanger's views and actions are the result of a worldview without God. It also comes from the evolutionary worldview that those with darker skin are less human and more closely related to apes. It goes to show that without God the world turns to chaos and man is the one who decides who lives and who dies and what is right and wrong. As it says in the Old Testament "every man did what was right in his own eyes". Margaret Sanger was a wicked woman who hated God and those who she thought were somehow inferior. When black people stand and support Planned Parenthood they are supporting the work of a woman who would have had their entire ethnicity wiped out if she had the chance.

On Saturday we are going to Portland to Redeeming Grace Fellowship to get together with our friends from Pro-life Missionaries of Maine. Please pray that it is a time of good fellowship and that we will glorify God in our time together, and that God would show us what His will is as we continue to stand for the lives of the unborn here in Maine. Our friend is coming from Canada to visit some people here in Maine and will be joining us for Church on Sunday and we are looking forward to having some time with her and her children.

We are considering having some signs printed for open air ministry. If anyone has any ideas for signs, feel free to send them to us in the comments below. We have some ideas but have not had them printed yet. We are printing signs for all of our open air ministry and not for the abortion mill only. So most of the signs will be more gospel centered instead of abortion focused but we may do an abortion sign too so feel free to send any ideas that you may have.

I am making a folder to pass out at the abortion mill for those who choose life and if anyone has an idea of papers or anything to put in it that would be greatly appreciated. I am putting in information on pregnancy, an adoption agency, Bible verses, the gospel message, contact information, a baby model, local doctors (if we can find any that would be willing to help out), and things such as that. If you can think of anything else that would be helpful to put in please let me know. Does anyone happen to know any doctors in the Portland area that we could refer people to? Thank you for any suggestions!

I came across these verses in my Bible reading and really liked them and thought I would share them. Philippians 3:7-21 But whatever were gains to me I now consider loss for the sake of Christ. What is more, I consider everything a loss because of the surpassing worth of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord, for whose sake I have lost all things. I consider them garbage, that I may gain Christ and be found in him, not having a righteousness of my own that comes from the law, but that which is through faith in Christ—the righteousness that comes from God on the basis of faith.I want to know Christ—yes, to know the power of his resurrection and participation in his sufferings, becoming like him in his death, and so, somehow, attaining to the resurrection from the dead.Not that I have already obtained all this, or have already arrived at my goal, but I press on to take hold of that for which Christ Jesus took hold of me. Brothers and sisters, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus. All of us, then, who are mature should take such a view of things. And if on some point you think differently, that too God will make clear to you. Only let us live up to what we have already attained.Join together in following my example, brothers and sisters, and just as you have us as a model, keep your eyes on those who live as we do. For, as I have often told you before and now tell you again even with tears, many live as enemies of the cross of Christ. Their destiny is destruction, their god is their stomach, and their glory is in their shame.Their mind is set on earthly things. But our citizenship is in heaven.And we eagerly await a Savior from there, the Lord Jesus Christ, who, by the power that enables him to bring everything under his control, will transform our lowly bodies so that they will be like his glorious body.

Prayer
Please be praying for those at Apologia Church as they prepare for the End Abortion Now conference. Pray that the speakers will have the words to say and that they would glorify God with their lectures. Pray for those who are planning to attend. John Barros should be traveling to Arizona in the next few weeks as he is speaking. Please pray for the safety of those who are traveling and that the conference would be both encouraging and challenging to those who are going. Pray for their outreach on the Saturday of the conference as they take people out to the abortion mill to put into action what they learned at the conference. Pray that it would make an impact on Planned Parenthood with having so many people there standing for the gospel and for the lives of the unborn.

With love in the Lord,
Virginia
