Hi everyone.
This week we went to Planned Parenthood in Portland and it was warmer than last time we went! There was some bad weather but the main roads were fairly good. Due to the bad weather some of our group was not able to make it out to the abortion mill. Even with the bad weather Brian managed to get through the 4 or 5 feet of snow at the end of his driveway and made his way to Portland with Matt. Wesley made it up from New Hampshire as well. We had some friends join us later in the day. They had never been there before and wanted to see what all happened out there.
Because of the weather we got there a little later than usual. The good thing about getting there late is the "deathscorts" and the police are only there because of our group. They may have thought that we were not coming, but for whatever reason, when we got there there were nobody there except for Matt and Brian. We have only been there one week when there were no "deathscorts" but that was because we went on a Thursday when no one was expecting us.
That day, there was a Trump rally down the street back in August. When we left the rally we went to the abortion mill for a while. Other than that though I think there has always been "deathscorts" when we were there. Even though we had no officer, "M" from the shop next door, who really does not like us, went past us and did not yell at anyone or perform his mop water trick. He probably could have gotten away with doing a lot of things to us but he did not. Praise God for protecting us! For those of you who do not know what the mop water trick is: "M" will take some water and he will pour it out on the sidewalk. While that may not sound very bad the part I did not mention is that he pours it so that it will run towards the children from our group that are sitting on the sidewalk. He has said very evil things in the past before we got there and over all he is not a very nice man. Please pray for his salvation!
Thanks to the city of Portland we had a built in preaching stool yesterday. Where the snow was on the sidewalk, Daddy and Wesley were able to stand up on the snow and preach. Daddy even saw about 5 different people look out the windows of the abortion mill to watch him and hear the preaching. We do not know if anyone chose life but maybe someone did that we did not know about. Even if no one did we shared the Gospel and we leave the outcome to God.
Daddy got to have a good talk with a woman who we will call "K". She did not take a tract but at least she did not take it and throw it away, which means that we can give it to someone else. We did have some men come up to Naomi and I while Daddy was preaching about 10 feet away. Thank you Wesley for being there with us so that Daddy could continue to preach, and I could still have a man around while the guys were there.
We did have some one say that us girls should be out sledding instead of out there for evangelism. For some reason people at the abortion mill think that we are being forced by our parents to be out there. How wrong they are, we are always excited to be able to go! Besides, the younger kids were not even out there, they were over at the library with Mommy. We do not need anyone else to say that Mommy and Daddy are abusing us kids by making us stand out in the cold. So when it is cold out we do not let the younger kids stand out there with us. We have had people take pictures of the younger kids when they are sitting in the warm car with Mommy having snacks. When asked why they were taking pictures they say that, "interesting things are happening". We do things that would be considered taking care of children in other places but if we are outside the abortion mill all of a sudden it becomes child abuse.
Thank you to everyone who has been praying for officer Keller! As you may know, I have not seen him a very long time. Yesterday after we left the abortion mill we were driving past a bank and saw an officer talking to some guy. We found out that the officer was not officer Grass as we had thought, but the man he was talking to was officer Keller. We pulled around and Daddy and I jumped out to say "Hi". He did not take a tract from us sadly. I think the other officer said it was against policy or something. Please continue to pray for officer Keller's salvation!
In upcoming news: We are considering attending a joint conference of Jeremiah Cry and NCFIC. It sounds like a great conference with some great speakers including: Scott Brown, Jeff Rose and Stephen Hopkins. They even have a few hours planned for street evangelism! The conference is March 17 and 18 in Wake Forest, North Carolina if anyone would be interested in attending. Here is a link to the website. The Aggressive Power of the Christian Church.
Tomorrow we are planning to join Redeeming Grace Fellowship for worship. There is a speaker from here in Maine who is a missionary in Mexico that will be coming, so that should be fun. Next week Jesse Barrington is coming up from Texas and I hope we get to go listen to his preaching as well. I really enjoyed his speaking at the Fellowship Conference New England back in August of this year and looking forward to possibly hearing his preaching again.
Prayer
Please be praying for all the babies around the country and around the world who have been saved from being aborted. In just the past few years many many babies have been saved. Pray that they will be raised up in the fear of the Lord. Pray that at a young age God will show them their need for a savior and that He would grant them repentance and faith in Jesus Christ our Creator and Savior.
With love in the Lord,
Virginia

Babies! Doctrine of the lesser magistrate, and more!
Hi everyone.
This week we were very excited by the news that our family's newest member will be joining us in August of 2017! It seems that Brian and Tabitha Ingalls are not going to be the only ones welcoming new life into this world! Congratulations Brian and Tabitha! God has truly blessed both our families!
Something that I was looking at the other day was the Doctrine of the Lesser Magistrate. For those who do not know what the Doctrine is a basic summary is this: Police officers are supposed to execute justice and uphold the Constitution, If their superiors tell them to do something unconstitutional or unjust, the lesser authorities (i.e police officers) have the right and duty to go against the commands or their superiors and if needed, they may actively resist them. For example, if an officer is told to stand outside Planned Parenthood to protect the women going in to murder their children. They have the right and duty to tell their superiors that they cannot obey because it would be going against their oath to protect human life. No matter what their superiors tell them to do, they are obligated to execute justice and to uphold the Constitution of the United States. For those of you who have not considered it before, Abortion is unconstitutional. This means that the Supreme Court was wrong to have said that it was okay in the Roe. Vs. Wade case and at all other times when they said it was okay to murder the pre-born. To see more about the Doctrine check out this website by Matt Trewhella.
For those of you who are not friends with Sye Ten Bruggencate on Facebook. 1) you should be! 2) The article he posted the other day was really disturbing. it was written by a pastor's kid. The guy was saying that the reason why some pastor's kids left the faith is because the church stole their Christmas. I will just say that if you have left the faith because the church "stole your Christmas", I would dare say that you were never saved in the first place. In fact if someone has left the faith for any reason they were never saved.
What have we come to as "American Christians" that we would be able to claim that we were Christians and then when somebody did something that we did not like we would turn around and leave the faith? I am telling you if something as small as not celebrating Christmas on Christmas day would make you leave the faith do not call yourself a Christian. If you are offended by me speaking the truth you can stop reading what I write but I want you to know that I love people because I am commanded to as a Christian. "And the second is like it you shall love your neighbor as yourself." Matthew 22:39. I say this because I want people to be saved and I do not want people to think that they are saved when they are not. I want people to have true relationship with God not a pretend faith that they will then abandon that faith when there is something they do not like. I want people to repent of their sins and turn to Christ in faith that can not be shaken!
If anyone would be interested in helping in abortion ministry but for some reason cannot get out to the abortion mill. 1) Please pray for those who are involved and for the people they are ministering to. 2) If you would like to, you could put together gift packets for women who choose life for their children. You could make or buy something such as a diaper bag that has a few outfit or a few toys and a blanket.
Our ministry is not just for women as they walk into the abortion mill. We want to plead with the women as they are going in and we want to share the gospel with them. We want to have a lifelong relationship with these women. If the women choose life we will help them by someone such as Brian and Tabitha adopting the baby if that is how the mothers choose. Or if the mothers choose to keep and raise the baby herself, we are willing to help them as they raise their child. If you want to you can help us in this mission if you would be interested in doing this please write to me at Maine4Jesus@gmail.com. Please realize that I am not saying this to people who are already standing at the gates of the abortion mills. I am saying this to people who would like to get involved but cannot get to the abortion mills. I would like to say thank you to all who are either involved in the fight by standing at the gates of death. And to those who pray for those involved in the fight even though they may not be able to be there with us due to work, school. or other things.
Prayer
Please be praying for both Mommy and Tabitha as they both carry these new precious lives that God has blessed us with. Pray for the health of these babies and their mothers.
Please continue to pray for Officer Keller. I do not know why, but he is one of the officers that I really love in regard to thinking about him and praying for his salvation. Please join me in praying for his salvation! To see officer Keller outside the abortion mill while hearing the gospel preached check out this video.
Please be praying for Sye Ten Bruggencate as he is taking care of his mother full time. Pray for both his mother's health and Sye as he cares for her. Sye is a beloved brother in the Lord and a great man of God. Look him up on Youtube to see videos of him open air preaching. Also check out his debates that are there to. Check out his website while you are at it as well, Proof that God exists. Click on "I do not care if absolute truth exists." I find it very funny! You will see why when you click on it!

They still murder babies when it's freezing!
Hi everyone.
Yesterday at the abortion mill was cold! It was 4 degrees and with the wind chill it was 20 below zero. Yet Planned Parenthood was still open which means the abolitionists were out to. Even when it was freezing cold Brian, Heather, Marguerite, James, and Matt were all out. I have to say, The others that were out yesterday stayed out longer than we did. Daddy and I only stayed for about an hour and 20 minutes. Even after that short of a time Daddy was limping because he could not feel his toes. We then sat in the car for a while before we left because Daddy was not sure if he could even drive. It was record cold for this time of year, even for Maine.
It was funny when we walked up to the abortion mill because most people only had their eyes showing. One man was standing near the mailboxes and I asked Heather if I was supposed to know who he was, I did not know him though which is why I did not recognize him. He was a man from Ohio who was just here for the work week but he came up and was talking to Matt. Since we have many more weeks of cold weather ahead of us here in Maine there will probably be a lot less people walking by.
I did accidentally assault a "deathscort"! The abortion mill is located in a multiple story building across the street from another multiple story building, creating a wind tunnel. I was holding our sign that says "babies are murdered here" and on the other side "abortion is murder". The sign flew out of my hand and across the sidewalk. It then hit the "deathscort" who quickly grabbed the sign. For a quarter of a second the "deathscort" was holding our sign! He then either put the sign down or it fell out of his hand, either way we found it very funny! The good thing was he did not report it to the police officer as assault, maybe because he realized it was a complete accident. I would not try to assault one if them but I did find it funny that he grabbed the sign!
Yesterday Daddy was VERY VERY close to being punched. One man "C" came out of the abortion mill with his fist balled up. He came up and was NOT happy with Daddy. God brought to Daddy's mind the verse: "A soft answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger," (Proverbs 15:1). Daddy asked the man "what can we do to help", and the man changed. He did not punch Daddy, Praise God! I do not know if anyone chose life yesterday but the Gospel was preached and we will trust God with the rest! Some people stopped before they went upstairs (the abortion mill is on the second floor,) I do not know if they listened though. I do think people can hear the preaching from the waiting room though.
One person took a gift bag which includes: a baby hat I made, a tract from Abolish Human Abortion, and a tract that I wrote. I just wrote a new tract to put in the bags because I realized that the last tract I wrote focused on abortion and not on the Gospel and I really wanted the people going in to the abortion mill to hear the Gospel and in light of the Gospel of Christ then plead with them to save their babies! The new tract starts out with the saying that we are all sinners and that:
"We are out here because of Jesus Christ, who came to earth as a man 2,000 years ago. He was born of a virgin and lived a sinless life before God His Father. He then was crucified not for His own sins, but for the sins of people like us. He rose from the dead on the third day and is coming again to take His children home with Him to Heaven. Jesus Christ is willing and able to save everyone who will turn to Him in repentance and faith. Today we plead with you to repent of your sin, turn from your life of sin and turn to the only able to you from eternal judgment. Place your faith in Jesus Christ the Son of God. Stop living for yourself and start living for the only one worthy of our worship and praise! All Glory be to God!"
I was made aware of more trouble going on in Wisconsin. Matt Trewhella was outside with some other people "exposing the abortionist". A woman came out to them and hit their sign and broke it. She then pulled out a hammer. While she may not have meant to hit anyone what she did is disorderly conduct and they called the police to make sure that justice was done and to keep the situation from escalating. Also they probably wanted to make sure everyone was safe. The woman was charged by the police with disorderly conduct, which she rightfully deserved! Praise God for keeping them safe!
What I found comical was what happened with Matt Tringali and Scott Smith. These men were outside the World Scientology headquarters with a sign, note that the sign was not very big. The sign said "To my loved one in Scientology... Call Me." Because Matt's sign touched the Scientology premises, more than 4 squad cars and a helicopter showed up! I do not if anything else happened though.
Prayer
Please be praying for both Matt Trewhella and Matt Tringali along with Scott Smith as they continue to be in contact with law enforcement. Matt Trewhella did have a good talk with law enforcement though and we can praise God for that. Continue to pray for the street preachers who are preaching around the country. Pray that God's Gospel will go forth, and that God will prepare the hearts of the people who will here it. Pray that God would grant repentance and faith to the people whom these men will minister to.
With love in the Lord,
Virginia.

Court update and missionaries in Cambodia.
Hi everyone.
In regard to updates on the court cases of Mike Stockwell, Mike Overd, Adrian Clark, and Don Carns. They will be going back to court for 2 more sittings. The pre-trial sitting will be on 18th January 2017. The pre-trial sitting is to go through the prosecution witnesses statements to see what the actual accusations are. And, as can be expected, it seems that the statements are based more on peoples feelings than on what actually happened. The dates for the trial are the, 23-24th, 27 and 28 of Feb. and on the 1st of March in 2017. Praise God that the court dates were set this early! Please continue to pray for these men.
This week was our off week of abortion ministry so I do not have much to say on the what happened there. I did ask Chloe how it went and she said that when she got there with Rachel there were no "deathscorts." I wonder if the abortion mill was closed.
This Saturday we did have the honor of having our friend Heap Him, over for the evening. Heap is our brother in Christ from Cambodia. Heap is a native of Cambodia and grew up during the reign of Pol Pot. Heap fled and narrowly escaped being bombed out of a ditch. Praise God for saving his life. Later he met his mother and some of his siblings in a refugee camp but he never saw his father again. Today Heap is married to Jennifer and they have 7 children. They live in Cambodia and run a therapy center for children and adults who suffer from brain injuries. At their therapy center, Lina's Hope, they provide therapy for nearly 20 people, 3 of whom they have adopted.
On Saturday night Heap came over to share with us about what is going on in Cambodia. He has many stories to tell about the therapy center and just the life in general. Aside from many other things, Heap will not soon run out of stories of troubles in transportation!
There are many stories that could be told about the Children and adults from Lina's Hope but in any case it is apparent that these children are being taught that every human being is created in the image of God and no matter what the culture and their religion may say these people are to be treated with dignity and respect. In Cambodia they believe reincarnation, in which they say that if someone has a disability they deserve it because of something they did in a past life. May God continue to shine the light of Gospel into this dark country and may God grant repentance and faith to the people of this land. And may God continue to bless the work of the Him family as they minister to the low and rejected members of the people. To see more stories about what God is doing in their ministry watch this video here. I do have to say, Sophanna and Leakanah are just adorable! And I would like to say thank you to Heap for the beautiful bags.
Prayer
Please continue to pray for Mike, Mike, Adrian, and Don. And pray for those who are bringing false charges against them. Pray that God would grant repentance and faith to those who persecute those who are serving the Lord with their lives. Pray for all the men and women across the country who are going to be out this winter serving the Lord through preaching and abortion ministry. They will not let the cold weather stop their mission to serve Christ and share the Gospel with this lost and dying world.
P.S. To listen to the audio of Matty Mac's gender comment listen here. Sorry for the swearing.
With love in the Lord,
Virginia.

Another week of spreading the Gospel by the grace of God.
Hi everyone.
First things first, Mike Stockwell, Mike Overd, Don Carns, and Adrian Clark were 4 men who were arrested in England back in July. These men were arrested because they were preaching the Gospel of Christ. They will be presenting their pleads in Bristol on December 8. They were arrested under the Public Order Acts. Pray that these men will receive comfort and peace. Pray that the judges will rule justly and that these men will not be punished wrongfully. Mike Stockwell and Don are the only 2 of these men that I have been able to meet, but I love each and every one of these men. These men are my brothers and I greatly enjoy the time I get to spend with them. May we all see the example of these men and may it spur us on to serve Christ with all we have.
A little bit of what is going on in our lives: Last Saturday was the parade of lights in Rockland. From our guesses there were probably over 1,000 people there! For those of you from big cities, 1,000 people in Rockland is a BIG deal.We passed out tracts and Daddy tried to preach for a little while but people came and stood around us and Daddy did not want to be yelling in peoples ears so he stopped. We then passed out more tracts later, may God use the tracts to draw people to Himself if it be in His will.
We just ordered 5,000 more tracts and they were delivered yesterday. The tracts are written by Paul Washer. I would like to say thank you to HeartCry missionary society for putting our contact information on the tract and for letting us print them. To see the tract look at the page, The Good News.
This week was our week to go to the abortion mill! This week was my first week to see a male "deathscort" out in Portland. We did not see officer Keller, which I am sad about. I wish I had a way to see him that did not involve the abortion mill. I still pray that officer Keller would be granted repentance and faith in Jesus Christ. Please join me in praying for this man!
We also had one man who professed to be a Christian. He said that he felt uncomfortable walking past us because we were shoving stuff at him, (otherwise known as offering him a tract). He then said that if the cop was not standing there he would have punched Daddy! He then started using vulgar language.Where have we come to that professing Christians would threaten to punch Daddy and use vulgar language because he disagreed with us and because we made him uncomfortable by offering him the truth. This is craziness people! May God grant repentance to this nation, a nation that is full of wickedness!
On Friday a school group walked past us on the street yelling about pollution. There were probably 200 or more people, they even had 2 police cruisers to drive in the front and the back. After the protest at least some of the group walked past us so people were passing them tracts. At least one of the teachers then took the tracts away from the kids! Brian noted that it was communism at its best. The teachers know that we are giving the kids the truth and so they are willing to steal the truth from them!
I knew I missed something when after the protesters had left I saw Brian almost on the ground because he was laughing so hard! When I asked what had happened I understand why he found it so funny. Someone had come up to Matt who was preaching and told him that he did not have a uterus so he had to shut up. Matt then responded with the very very comical response of "Did you just assume my gender?" To see videos from Matt check out his youtube channel here. Shout out to Matty Mac!
Matt and Marguerite got to have a long talk with one man. It seemed like it went well. I was not listening to most of it though, as it was in Spanish and I don't speak Spanish. Another man came up to us and said thank you to the people in our group for preaching the Gospel in love to those who treat us unkindly. He then came back a little bit later and told us that he had a few minutes and so he stood with us for a while and talked! Thank you God for this encouragement!
Prayer
Please continue to pray for the men in England. Pray for our brothers and sisters in Christ who are imprisoned around the world. Pray for our family in Christ who are being persecuted for their faith people such as Mike, Mike, Adrian, and Don. Pray for all those involved in abortion outreach around the country. Pray that God would bless their work pray that he would save the lives of these precious babies who are created in his image! Pray that God would be glorified in their work!
With love in the Lord,
Virginia.
First things first, Mike Stockwell, Mike Overd, Don Carns, and Adrian Clark were 4 men who were arrested in England back in July. These men were arrested because they were preaching the Gospel of Christ. They will be presenting their pleads in Bristol on December 8. They were arrested under the Public Order Acts. Pray that these men will receive comfort and peace. Pray that the judges will rule justly and that these men will not be punished wrongfully. Mike Stockwell and Don are the only 2 of these men that I have been able to meet, but I love each and every one of these men. These men are my brothers and I greatly enjoy the time I get to spend with them. May we all see the example of these men and may it spur us on to serve Christ with all we have.
