Everyone needs the Gospel! From the Mayor to the mormons to the "deathscorts"! And a book review.

Hi everyone.
This week at the abortion mill we saw more wickedness, which is very sadly common when you are out on the street. From the police officer and the "deathscorts" standing there complicit to murder, to the women going in to murder their own children. Even the Mayor of Portland, who walked past us and showed his appreciation of the "deathscorts". Those who are placed in authority should be protecting their citizens, not murdering them when they are in their mother's womb! If those in authority will not stand for justice we will. We will cry for the justice of these babies until abortion is abolished! And more importantly we will proclaim the Gospel of Christ until He calls us home to himself! I mentioned a few weeks ago that I made a tract for the officers who are outside the abortion mill. The officer did not take the tract but did say I could leave it on his windshield. At least he got it, I now hope that he reads it and that God would change his heart!

We also got to talk to one lady who was trying to tell us that babies in the womb are just clumps of cells. The people who agree with abortion are spitting in the face of God by saying that His creation, that is made in His image, is not worth saving and it does not matter if we slaughter them by the millions! They not only suppress the truth about God's existence but destroy His creation! This is wickedness and we must stand up and address and we must confront people with the Gospel!

We did have some Mormon missionaries come by the abortion mill. We did not talk to them much but I hope they come back so that we can show them the true Gospel in the hopes that they will repent of the false gospel of Mormonism and that they would turn to Christ in faith. Please watch the Gospel for Mormons.video of brother Jeff Durbin as he explains the Gospel for those in the Mormon church.

On Sunday we got to go to Cell53 for church. We had a great time with Heather, Kyle, Brian, Tabi and the kids before church. Afterwards we had a time of worship with the brethren at Cell. After worship time the church was opened so that people could come in for a hot lunch, which was really good! The people at Cell serve their community and more importantly they have a opportunity to share the Gospel with these people. These people need the Gospel even more then they need food, but it is great if we are able to do both!

We are looking forward to our upcoming ministry opportunities and we would love if anyone would be willing to join us. Please look at the upcoming events section on Facebook of Equipped Ambassadors for Christ to see if there is anything you would be willing to join us at. If you haven't already liked this page, please do!

I just recently finished reading the book Ultimate Proof of Creation. It is a very very good book that I would encourage everyone to read if they have not already. It lays out a case for the ultimate proof and shows you how to defend the faith. It is a Presuppositional argument which means that it shows how if God did not exist you would not be able to know anything at all. For those of you who have not figured it out yet I am Presuppositional in my apologetic. This apologetic does not place God on trial and it does not make man the judge over Almighty God. In the book Dr. Jason Lisle goes through the "Answer, don't answer" approach to apologetics as well as the AIP test in order to perform an internal critique of your opponents worldview. It also includes 2 chapters on Logic, (for a more information on logic I also suggest you read Discerning Truth also by Dr. Lisle. That book is also excellent!) There is also a section of letters written by critics of Biblical creation and possible responses to them. I am now reading Understanding Genesis also by Dr. Lisle. If you did not know I like Dr. Lisle! Also look at Dr. Lisle's blog here. I suggest reading " On The Origin Of Articles". It is hilarious! And the comments are really fun to read too!

Prayer
Please continue to pray for the May family as they grieve the loss of Cody, a husband and father of 7 children.
Continue to pray for officer Keller's salvation.
Pray for our new president Donald Trump and vice president Mike Pence. Pray that God would grant both of them repentance and faith. Pray that they would have wisdom to lead this country in the way that God would have them to lead.

With love in the Lord,
Virginia.

Prayer and Proclamation.

Hi everyone.
For those of you who have not yet heard. On Thursday Cody May died in a swimming accident in lake Travis in Austin, Texas. He was a husband, and father of 7 children. He was known by many and was active in the fight for the lives of the pre-born. Cody was a preacher to those on the street who were in desperate need of a savior. Even though I did not know who he was when he died, he is my brother in Christ and his wife is my sister in the Lord. We mourn the loss of this brother and I ask for prayers for his family and friends as they grieve the loss of a beloved husband, father, brother, and friend. Pray that God would comfort the family and that He would use this situation to draw them closer to Himself and to each other. There is currently a page up to raise money for his wife Kimberly and the family. Please pray that they would be able to raise the funds needed so that Kimberly will not have to worry about finding a job but instead will be able to stay home and care for the children. Here is a link to the page where you can donate to the family, Caring for Kimberly.

On Friday we watched the inauguration of president Donald J.Trump. While I may not agree with him, he is the President and as such I seek to respect his office. I would much rather have had Tom Hoefling as President but it was God's will that Donald Trump is President and we will have to wait and see what happens in these next 4 years and what will take place afterwards.

I think that people who are against the new President should find a better way to express their view than by injuring police officers, torching a car and other things. I also wish Christians would take their beliefs more seriously. Unbelievers in this country will passionately fight for their beliefs to great extents. Yet when there is an evangelism outreach Christians usually will not bother to show up. The world can get more people to show up for a football game than the church can get to show up for worship of the only one worthy of glory and praise! The church needs to stop making excuses about why they are not sharing the Gospel. The world is out boldly proclaiming their lies and the church must be out there even more exposing the lies and more importantly proclaiming the Truth. Jesus Christ is KING of kings and LORD of lords! The world is passionate about what they profess belief in and they believe in lies. As Christians we have the truth and we must passionately proclaim the Gospel of Life and Light to this world of death and darkness!

We must stand up and fight against the kingdom of evil! We will not fight with weapons of the flesh as the world does but we will fight with the weapons of spiritual warfare. We must fight the lies with truth, the darkness with light, and we will fight against death by proclaiming true life through repentance and faith in Jesus Christ! Church stand up! Proclaim the truth until all the world has heard the news of Christ! Do not worry about what others will think. This is a matter of eternal life and death! If you are proclaiming, in love, Jesus Christ and Him crucified for the sins of His people. You may be mocked and yelled at, you may even give your life for the sake of Christ and His Gospel. But the message is so important and we have been commanded to share it! Go, Stand, and proclaim Christ!

If anyone is in our area, we have many different opportunities for evangelism this year. Two of the activities that our coming up soon are the Winter Fest in Camden and the Super Bowl outreach in Rockland.  Daddy has to work the day shift for some of the days of the Snow Bowl but if anyone is willing to join us for evangelism in the afternoon and evening their help would be greatly appreciated. For anyone that is interested please check out my parents Facebook page here or our ministry page Equipped Ambassadors for Christ.

On this Friday we will be posting on there at about 10:30 in the morning and we will try to do a live video stream at the abortion mill. The thing is, I do not know at what point we will start taking video so we will try to post a time then, after we have been there for a little bit and figured out when Daddy will be preaching and such. During the video we will be showing the preaching and people will be able to see what it looks like on the street.. If I start taking video of the sidewalk or other things. I am sorry I am probably trying to get tracts or something and I should be able to correct it soon enough. But I would much rather have a bad video than miss talking to the women going in and the people walking past. The reason we are out there is to proclaim the Gospel and that is what we will do!

For anyone that is willing, a baby was saved from abortion in California and they are holding a baby shower for the mother. Here is a link to the gift registry where you are able to purchase and send gifts for baby Annabella. Baby Annabella's gift registry. The mother of this precious baby took the first abortion pill. But by the grace of God, they were able to reverse the pill and save Annnabella's life! Please look at the registry and see if there is anything you would be willing to purchase as we seek to support this mother in her new journey of motherhood. Thank you for supporting this family!

Prayer
Please be in continued prayer for the May family. Pray for Annabella and her mother. And also as we have just passed the inauguration of our new President with rioting and protesting. Pray for the police officers, National Guard and everyone else who is trying to enforce the law in this nation. Pray that they would be protected from those who are seeking to injure them and pray that they would be able to establish peace. But we also know that this nation will not have true peace until they repent and turn to Christ the only way to have true peace.

With love in the Lord,
Virginia

More standing for life, yet still so much death!

Hi everyone,

Today we had more people than usual at the abortion mill standing up for the unborn. We had 22 people at one point including 2 women who I think had never been there before. Andrew and "T-money" came out as well. I had not seen them for awhile but I may get to see them again soon as we are wanting to go to Cell53 soon. 

Officer Keller was there again defending the murderers, I pray that God would grant him repentance and faith in Christ. It is not many times when I see him when he is not standing on the side of murder. Continue to pray for his salvation! Since some officers will not take tracts I wrote a letter to give to the officers that still proclaims the Gospel but since they are handwritten letters for them maybe they will take them. 

Daddy was assaulted today by one man. He came up to Daddy from behind and leaned on him shoving Daddy and screaming obscenities at him. I think he should have been arrested, but he was not. Officer Keller may have done more if Daddy went up and pressed charges but Daddy did not want to stop preaching the Gospel. I do not know what the "deathscorts" thought about it. After Officer Keller spoke to him briefly, the man then came past Mommy and us kids and called us scumbags. Even if he will not physically assault anyone anymore he still is very wicked and in need of repentance and faith.

The people at the chamber of commerce next door to the abortion mill were hitting their curtains from the inside when we are standing on the other side and making signs telling us to keep it down. If we were on their property then I would understand the request. We are on a public sidewalk and we have freedom of speech in this country. We have so much freedom in this country, and we have a command from our Lord and Savior to preach the Gospel. May we obey the command of our Lord and may we exercise our rights! No matter what man may say or do to try to make us waver in our commitment. Our command is to proclaim Christ and Him crucified for the sins of all those who will turn to Him in repentance and faith!

 And Jesus came and said to them, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me 19 Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in[b] the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age.”

Today even though there were many standing for life we still saw so much wickedness! People hating God and rejecting His Son. People who take pleasure in evil, and people who will assault others for speaking the truth. This world is filled with wickedness and we must take the Gospel to those who need to hear it, no matter how uncomfortable it may be! Christ never told us that we would live a life of comfort if we just accept Him into our heart by saying a prayer or walking down the aisle at church. You will not be saved by merely saying a prayer or walking an aisle. We must turn completely away from our life of sin and turn to Jesus Christ, we must trust in Christ alone for salvation. Our lives will be changed and we will no longer

DEVASTATED,!!! YET JOYFUL!!! PLEASE PRAY!

Hi everyone.
Today even though we were not able to go to the abortion mill we have heard news from others that brings me to tears. Today a woman went in for an abortion which she was bullied into it by her boyfriend. The grandmother of the baby was crying over what was going to take place and was trying to get through to her daughter to tell her not to do it. The grandmother was able to talk to Brian Donna, and Marguerite. She was sending them text messages and her husband came later. The grandmother texted Donna and said that her husband was on his way and he was going to go up and pick her up and carry her out. She asked them to pray that he would make it in time! 

After he got there he told the staff at the abortion mill that she had a condition that he said could kill her if she went through with the abortion. The staff told him that she could tell the doctors if she wanted to. He then jumped the counter and ran down the hall screaming his daughter's name.  It was reported that the daughter told them to stop but instead they pumped her full of more drugs and aborted the baby. 

The police were there, and it seems like they have pressed charges against the grandfather for jumping the counter to find his daughter, and he may lose his job as he works for the government. How wicked is this nation that a man could lose his job because he tried to save the life of his daughter and grandchild! This is unjust, wicked, and must be stopped immediately!   If the abortionists performed an abortion against the young woman's will they should be charged with serious charges! Even if it was not against her will they should still be charged with murder! They are taking the life of another human being who is created in God's image! 

Pray for the grandmother, the grandfather, and the mother. Pray that God would grant them repentance and faith in Jesus Christ the only one able to save! Today this baby was not saved but the Christians who were out there today was able to talk to the family and if God grants that family repentance and faith in Christ, that will be great joy to us all! We want babies to be saved and we want people to come to know Christ as Savior!  

HOWEVER, good news did come as well! Even though this baby was still murdered, because the grandfather was screaming in the hall, 2 other women heard his voice and did not go through with their abortions! God saved the lives of those babies! Even through our tears God works miracles! 

WE PRAISE GOD OUR FATHER IN HEAVEN WHO DESERVES ALL GLORY, HONOR, AND PRAISE!!!  GOD USED THAT GRANDFATHER TO SAVE THE LIVES OF THE OTHER BABIES!

We love these women and I hope that we will be able to help them and continue to proclaim the Gospel to them! Today was both very sad and very joyous. We lost a precious life and yet we gained 2 more! Pray for all the mothers who went to the abortion mill today. Those who went through with the abortions, those who wanted to stop but were forced, and those who were able to save the lives of their precious children! I will try to keep people updated as I find out more information that is able to be shared. I will try to post more prayer requests and needs as they are available to share.

Prayer
  •  Pray for the young woman who's baby it seems was murdered against her will. Pray that God will use this situation to show her her need for a Savior and that God would grant her repentance and faith. Pray for her and her parents as they go through this grieving process as the mourn the loss of this precious life! 
  • Pray for the women who were able to save their babies. Pray that they would look to God as they raise their precious children. Pray that they will train them up in the fear of the Lord. Maybe God will one day use them to proclaim the Gospel outside an abortion mill when they are older.  So that they will be able to share hope with those mothers. Maybe they will be used by God to save the lives of babies who are in a situation just like they were in before God saved their lives.
  • Pray also for the grandfather as he may lose his job. Because he tried to save the lives of his daughter and grandchild. The family may need help finding a lawyer but Brian and others may have them contact the Thomas Moore law center which is the one they used when they went to court concerning their lawsuit involving Planned Parenthood.
  • Please also be praying for Robert Gray, Mike Stockwell, and the rest of their team as they are down in Jamaica proclaiming Christ to the people on the island. Pray that God would grant repentance and faith to the people they talk to and pray that they would have boldness and courage no matter what man may say or do.

"Greater love has no one than this, that someone lay down his life for his friends."John 15:13

With love in the Lord,

P. S. I was wrong about dates in my previous post, Jesse Barrington will be coming to Redeeming Grace Fellowship next week, not this week.
