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
