Street preachers convention!

Hi everyone.
This week God blessed our family with the opportunity to be able to go out to the abortion mill. We had a great time and got to see some people we would not have been able to see otherwise.

On Friday we had multiple street preachers including: Daddy, Mike Stockwell came from New York, Scott Smith from North Carolina, Don Cairns from Virginia, Robert Gray from New Hampshire, and Jimmy Hamilton all the way from Scotland. That was just the street preachers, we also had some of our regular group out from Redeeming Grace Fellowship and Cell53.

This week we had a variety of different comments including: "All of you should have been aborted", "You're sick", someone said I needed my brain washed, And yet another literally thumbed his nose at God. And our day was not void of hearing bad words including the F word which sadly is not unusual for us to hear. My friend Chloe was promoted to "number one" our way of saying someone gave us the middle finger. We also had the more comical questions and comments like: "Are you still stupid?" Our family was wearing matching orange shirts so someone said "You got Halloween costumes." Sometimes people come up with very dumb arguments to try to make us look stupid, sadly it just shows how absurd their arguments become when they reject God. I hope that God grants these men and women repentance, and faith in Jesus Christ our Lord.

Once again we had Officer Keller, and he was kind enough to let me take a picture of him and Chloe. By the way Officer Keller, I was just informed that it was your birthday last Sunday. Happy late birthday. I hope that as you celebrate your many years of life you realize that it is God who has

blessed you with life. Every day you live is proof of God's mercy to you.

After abortion outreach some of our group went to Redeeming Grace Fellowship to have lunch. We had a time of fellowship with Donna (who started the abortion outreach in Portland) Jimmy, Mike, Robert, Don, Scott and others. After lunch we went to the cemetery to see the grave of Edward Payson also known as "Praying Payson".

After we left the cemetery we split into groups to hand out tracts. Our family only handed out about 10 tracts, as there were not many people walking on the sidewalk we were on. Robert got to the school when the kids were leaving so he passed out more. Mike and Donna went door to door and passed out a good amount of tracts. After that we all went back to the church and sat around talking some more.

Our family is hoping to go do more open air evangelism with Jimmy Hamilton before he leaves for the UK on the 1st. Jimmy's son is a pastor at a church about 2 hours away from our house so we are hoping to meet Jimmy so that we can minister with him while he is here in the states.

Prayer
Please be praying for the group of street preachers including Mike, Robert and the others I mentioned earlier as they travel around the country preaching Jesus Christ who was crucified and rose again for all those who turn to Him in repentance and faith. Please be praying for all those involved in open air evangelism all around the world as they strive to serve Christ through preaching the word in the open Square. May we all be encouraged by their witness to take our stand and serve Christ with all we have. Jesus Christ is the only one who is able to save them from eternal damnation and it is our duty as Christians to share the saving message of Jesus Christ with the people of this world before it is to late!

With love in the LORD,
Virginia.

A little bit of everything. From preaching to movies to prayer!

Hi everyone.

I looked at the stats on my blog and am amazed at the results! Thanks to the advertising done by Cell53 and Mike Stockwell this blog now has about 1,000 views! We have the ability to see what countries the IP addresses are coming from, this blog has page views from: the United Kingdom, Ireland, South Korea, India, Canada, Mexico, France, and more! I pray that God uses it for His glory.

Since we did not go to the Abortion mill this week I can not write about that but we still did some open air evangelism.

On Saturday a church about 20 minutes away from our house was showing the new movie Origins. We asked around about the movie and from what we could figure out, which was not much, it seemed like the movie was promoting Intelligent Design, but not Biblical Creation. We headed out to the town park right next to the church where Daddy did some open air preaching from Genesis 1. The pastor's wife came out and talked to us and when asked what she believed she told us that she would probably fall under the group of "Day Age Theory".

A little later the speaker who was promoting the film personally invited us to come in and watch the movie. We were also told that there would be a Q and A after the movie so we decided to go in. One person in the film mentioned God as a possibility, but it seemed like they were more pointing to an intelligent designer than the God of the Bible. The presenter answered questions briefly, but when we went to talk afterward at his sales table, he seemed annoyed by our understanding of the subject and the attempt to direct the discussion to the Gospel.

I realized that there is one great evangelist that I really like that I have not mentioned. His name is Sye Ten Bruggencate (it is not that hard to pronounce my 4 year brother can do it). While I have not been able to meet him yet I enjoy listening to his teaching, and he is helpful in answering Daddy's questions via Facebook. I am grateful that Sye is there when we need an answer to any question about apologetics. Check out his website at proofthatGodexists.org (link is on the sidebar of this blog's home page.) I hope you are blessed by his work, and just so you know he is very humble and gives God the glory, as we all should as everything we have comes from God!

I would encourage everyone to watch, How To Answer The Fool which is a movie that Sye made with a couple of his friends. It is a great film about how to share the Gospel with those who suppress the truth in unrighteousness. I think people should also watch, Dominion, Proclaiming The Truth In The True North, Mike Stockwell gave a DVD of it to me last month at the Fellowship Conference New England and I really enjoyed watching it! It should also be fun to watch since some of the people I talk about on here are in the movie such as Mike, Robert Gray and Sye. Thank you for the movie Mike!

Next week I am hoping to get a chance to go down to Portland to see Mike and Robert while they are here in Maine. I pray that we will have a chance to do some evangelism with them. Please be praying for them as they do an evangelism tour through New England.

Please be praying for my friends from Cambodia, Jennifer and Heap and their children as they adjust to their new life with school for their 2 oldest sons and Heap as he travels to different churches to share their story.  Pray also for Lina's Hope back in Cambodia as the staff try to keep everything in order while Jennifer and Heap are not there. Continue to pray for our brothers and sisters in Christ around the world as they continue to share the Gospel under the threat of persecution and even death. Yet it is worth the risk to share Jesus Christ was crucified and that He will save all who turn to Him in repentance and Faith.

with love in the LORD,
Virginia, (Virginia slim. I will never live that one down Andrew!)

A very very busy week

Hi everyone.
I am sorry that I have not written a post for awhile. The last few days have been quite busy.
On Monday our pastor came over and did not leave until late at night, then on Tuesday Daddy started school as a CNA student/apprentice.

On Wednesday we had friends over for the afternoon and that night Daddy and I were guests on Cell53 Radio. We discussed head coverings and ecclesiology. We had a great time, but people at Cell53 do not seem to know that some people sleep at night, Haha. [Shout out to Brian, Andrew and Tanya]. Nevertheless they are great people and I am honored to call them brothers and sisters. Click here to listen. (by the way I did not pick my nickname that was Andrew, but I was okay with it.)

On Thursday we went to a friends house and then came home to get things ready for abortion outreach the next day.

On Friday our family left the house before 7 am (early) and headed to Portland. We had a great time and we even got to see the famous Officer Keller! Okay maybe he is not so famous. Officer Keller, you said you would look at my blog. If you read this I still plead with you: Repent of your sins turn to Jesus Christ your King, turn to him in faith. No matter how often you scoff God, spit in his face and say that He does not exist. You know that He does exist and whether you believe it or not you will stand before Him on judgment day and you will give an account of your sins. And God being just will hold you accountable for your sins unless you turn from your sins and surrender your life to Christ. If you are still breathing it is not to late to run from your sins and run to Christ. He died and rose again to save all who will turn to Him in repentance and faith. We still love you as a human being and we still lift you up in prayer asking our Father in heaven to save you from your unrighteousness. This is what Christ has done for me, and I hope some day you come to see my King in all His beauty!

 This week outside the abortion mill, we had the usual comments and concerns from passersby including: Me and my siblings are abused by being forced to do this ministry (we love going), or we are being abused by exposure to pictures of dead babies (if abortion isn't murder, then those pictures aren't dead babies); Daddy should be arrested for preaching the Gospel; and many others. As always we were shown the reality of the depravity of people without Christ and the wickedness of the world in which we live.

After abortion outreach we went out to lunch with a couple of people from our group. Rachel, Chloe, Ian, and Wesley at Fort Allen Park.

After that we went to the Ronald McDonald house in Portland to see some friends. Please be praying for their daughter Sherri as she has battled brain cancer since 2006. Her family is amazing and through all their trials they continue to praise God! We got to enjoy family Bible time with this family and some friends who also came to visit.

On Saturday Daddy had to work and we had some extended family over for supper. We then tried to get some sleep for our long car trip the next morning.

We left the house a little bit later on Sunday, we did not have to leave until 7:30 am! We then drove for about 2 hours to visit a friend's church, where at first we were welcomed. Multiple people kindly showed us around and offered child care which, while appreciated, our family does not use. We find in God's Word a pattern of families worshiping together. We don't believe age segregation is proper or helpful.  Sadly, after being told by a few very insistent people that children were not allowed in the service (no exceptions) we left and went to another church where our friend is a pastor. We had a great time at this small church and were excited to be able to see our friend Matt again. Thank you Matt for praying for us every day! It is very encouraging to know that we are being lifted up to the LORD in prayer!

After church we went to Daddy's mother's house to set up a shed. This took a lot longer than the directions said it would, but we worked together. Anyway we got it done and had a little time to visit before we left.

Overall we had a good week, just a very busy week.

For prayer please continue to pray for the salvation of Officer Keller ,and all the Police officers, and "death scorts" who stand by complicit to the murder of many children who have yet to be born.

Pray for Robert Grey and Mike Stockwell as they travel to Maine next weekend to do some open air ministry. Please be praying also for NASA astronaut Jeff William as he travels back to earth from the International Space Station along with Russian cosmonauts Alexey and Oleg.

By the way, our family will not be at the Murder mill (abortion mill) on Fridays for the next 2 months because of Daddy's class times we will not be able to be out on Friday mornings. We are talking about other opportunities for ministry in the meantime. Daddy will only have Sundays and Mondays off for a while.

With love in the LORD,
Virginia.


P.S. Mark here (aka "Daddy"). Our family has a few possible plans for the future in ministry. We would appreciate prayer as we seek to discern the will of God and the need for evangelism, discipleship, and worship that is patterned after the Word of God, specifically the patterns found for ecclesiology in the New Testament. We appreciate your prayers! ~Mark

Growing in numbers (in multiple ways)

Hi everyone.
I am happy to announce the birth of Jeremiah Amir Ingalls! Son of Brian and Tabitha who are part of the abortion outreach in Portland. His full name means 'God has exalted the Prince',  On Friday our group was out on the street at the murder mill (abortuary) and one of the girls got a message that Jeremiah had been born, needless to say our group was very excited and we were all clapping and celebrating the life of this newborn baby. It just goes to show how much we love babies. Meanwhile there were people on the same sidewalk who are complicit to the murder of babies in the womb.

On Friday we had, Daddy, Wesley and Andrew in the rotation of preachers this week. Robert Gray was gone on an Evangelism trip so he was not there. Brian was not there because of Jeremiah's birth.
But with the preachers we did have there, they could have preached for a lot longer than they did, we had no need for more preachers, they had it covered.

This week my great-grandmother was in town from Ohio so we spent a lot of this week with family nevertheless we were still able to do some open air ministry. On Saturday we went out to do some evangelism at the Annual Internet Cat Video Festival in the town right next to us. At this Cat Festival thing they had a 40 foot inflatable movie screen and they were going to show 85 minuets of cat videos from the internet. Funny enough they had 200-400 people there,(it was hard to guess because it was dark when we were estimating the crowd numbers).

On Sunday we decided not to do any open air ministry since we had been out the last 2 days,so we just went to church and then small group that night instead of going out on the street in between. It also gave some time to rest.

We recently found out that Daddy has been accepted into a course were he will be able to go to school and will be paid while he does it. The hospital has decided to extend his full time benefits as well which is a huge blessing! During the nine weeks of classes he will have to be in school 7 Fridays which means we will not be going out to murder mill on those days. God has blessed our group and in the last 4 years since it has started it has gone from primarily Donna and her children going out, to 20 or 30 people every week with 3 to 5 people preaching every week! Our group has gotten so big that we are considering doing shifts so that there are people out there more often. What a blessing to see so many coming to proclaim God's truth and stand for life!

We have been told that at least one woman has gone in on Friday and then again on Saturday to have a medical abortion. If there are people out there on both days then we may be able to talk them out of it on the first day, If they still do it then they will have 24 hours before they go to take the second pill.
If they realize what they have done you can take another pill which will reverse the first part of the medical abortion. The abortion is only completed after they take the second pill. Maybe with people being out there more often we will be able to talk more people out of having an abortion.

Prayer
Please be praying for my friend Angela who I have mentioned before, Last Saturday she was outside the abortuary by herself for 2 hours, there were 22 "death scorts" out there as well, later, by God's grace, she was joined by other people. Pray for her safety as she may be in physical danger when she is out there. Pray also that God would send people out to fight alongside her as she tries to save both the physical and spiritual life of these babies, their mothers and all those she meets.

Please continue to pray for the "death scorts" and Police officers in Portland. Pray that God would draw them to Himself and that they would stop trusting in the things of this world but instead repent of their sins and turn to Jesus Christ who died on the cross and rose again to save all those who would turn to Him in repentance and faith.

Please be praying for Brian, Tabitha, their daughter and baby Jeremiah as they adjust to their new life with another baby in the house.

I would encourage everyone to listen to Cell53 Radio it is a radio broadcast that Andrew, Brian and a couple of other people from the abortion outreach. click here to listen

With love in the LORD,
Virginia

Please Pray!

Hi everyone.
Please be praying for one of the "death scorts" "M". This week it seemed like God is doing something with her heart. This Friday our group started singing Amazing Grace when we were outside the murder mill (abortuary), "M" started looking upset to me so I went over to ask her if she was "ok" she said she was. That in it's self is a big deal, for those of you who have been outside the murder mill in Portland you may know that the "death scorts" do not usually talk to us! Me getting a word out of her was probably the 2nd time a "death scort" has said anything to me. Anyway later Daddy went over and "M" was standing near the usual preaching spot so she moved to give him the spot. She then took 2 different tracts from me! One of the tracts that Abolish Human Abortion had made and the one that I wrote to give to the women going in. Please be praying that God would grant her repentance and faith and save her from her sins.

On Saturday we left our house and went to see the Him family while they were in Maine. We had a great time with the Him's, Chanthy and Sreymom. We went to the beach near their house and then it started raining so we went up to the house and we all hid in the garage. We still had a great time with them though.

After we left the Him's we left for Steuben, a town right on the ocean. One of Grandma's friends had an ocean front cottage so we spent the weekend with Grandma and my aunt and her 2 month old son. We had a lot of fun together without distractions, (there was no internet or phone at the cottage.)

On Sunday we went to church and then went out to eat with the family. Afterwards we went to see my other set of grandparents, we spent almost 3 hours at my Grandfather's house and then we went back to the cottage to spend the night.

I have also finished memorizing all 3 chapters of the book of Psalms which Andrew challenged me to memorize, chters 2,22, and ,110. Thank you Andrew for picking 2 short chapters. If anyone reading this thinks it is some great thing that I did I would encourage  you to try it some time it may not be as hard as you think. And above all give God the glory, for it is not anything I did but it was the grace and mercy of God!


For prayer requests: Please continue to pray for Robert Gray and Mike Stockwell as they labor to share the gospel of Jesus Christ. Be praying for my sister in Christ, Angela, as she labors outside the murder mill in Queens, New York. I have mentioned before that it is the biggest one in the country, and they have now built a new murder mill in the same town with 18 to 23 "death scorts" Please be praying as she works to save the lives of these babies! Pray also that God would send others to minister along with her. Be in prayer for the Ingalls family who work outside the murder mill in Portland, as they welcome a new little baby into this world. Praise the LORD for his blessing of life to this Family! Pray for all the Police Officers, I ask for prayers especially for Officers Grass, Keller and Richardson who all serve in Portland. Please be praying for their Salvation!

With love in the LORD,
Virginia

Busiest week of our year (so far)

Hi everyone.
Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday were quit busy. I will try to break up my post into multiple sections according to what happened on that day.

Thursday
Daddy found out that Donald Trump was going to be in Portland. What better place to find a crowd! Since we did not know how people would react to us being there, Mommy dropped Daddy and I off and went to do some shopping. Daddy and I had time together to do some evangelism. We stood right outside the crowd control barrier and passed out tracts, Daddy also did some preaching. We were especially glad that most of the people who talked to us were very nice. Daddy saw a man walking around with a sign that said "LOVE" on it, so Daddy stopped him to talk with him. A woman then came up to Daddy angry at what he was saying, and began screaming at Daddy and foaming at the mouth. Thank you to the officer who came and directed her the other way.

After a while Daddy decided that the protesters were getting a little loud, so we walked down to the murder mill (abortion mill) so that Daddy could do some preaching. One person said to us something along the lines of  "You guys are a day early, get a planner!". We told them that we would be back in the morning if they wanted to come say "Hi".

After a while we headed out to the Fellowship Conference New England. We had a great time. I really enjoyed listening to Jesse Barringtons sermons.

Friday
I was so happy that I finally I got to meet Mike Stockwell. He is a very kind man. I found it funny, Our friend Robert Gray tried talking to my baby sister Abigail and she acted shy. Mike picked her up and she sat with him for 5 or 10 minutes. She then wanted to get down and started crying as if to say, " You're not Daddy!".

Mike and Robert joined us out at the murder mill along with a couple of others from the conference. We had a great time. I got to meet a couple other women, one of whom is involved with abortion ministry at the largest murder mill in the country. At this abortuary there are 18 to 25 "death-scorts" every week, For comparison the one in Portland has 3 or 4 women who lead other women into the abortion mill.

This week our Police officer was very nice. He took one of our gospel tracts and one of Brian's. I also gave him an assignment. Officer Keller, who I have mentioned before, was not out this week so I took the tract that I wrote to give to the women going in for an abortion and asked officer Grass to give it to officer Keller. I also wrote the web address of my blog, Hopefully he will read this post.

Officer Keller, if you are reading this post I would like to say, "I plead with you to Repent of your sins and believe on Jesus Christ who died on the cross to forgive the sins of all who will come to Him in repentance (changing your mind) and faith. Stop trusting in the things of this world which will pass away, instead place your trust in the finished work of Jesus Christ who rose again and is now seated at the right hand of God the Father!

Saturday
On Saturday we finished up our time at the conference, which included luncheons and sermons, and headed home. We finally were home and had a couple of hours to rest before our busy day on Sunday.

Sunday
We went to church in the morning and then headed out for evangelism on the street. Sunday was the last day of the Great Maine Lobster Festival. One of the 3 times a year when there is a big crowd near our house. Daddy began preaching and we tried to hand out some tracts. We have decided that Sunday was a day that God used to send us encouragement in his work. One man stopped and we handed him a tract that Daddy had made about Jim Elliot. He then told us that just a couple of months before he had been in Ecuador near Shell and had actually seen Nate Saint's house. For those of you that do not know the story of Jim Elliot, Nate Saint, Ed McCully, Roger Youdarian and Pete Fleming, I will not give it away. Look it up, it is an amazing story!

Prayer
Mike Stockwell asked for prayers as he and Robert Gray go to the Bristol Motor Speedway to do open air evangelism. Pray that God would even now be working in the hearts of the people who will hear the Gospel message, as these 2 men work faithfully to bring the gospel of Jesus Christ to the people of this lost and dying world in which we live. Pray also for Officer Grass. While he is a very kind man, please pray that God would draw him to himself and save him from his sin.

For those of you who would like to send a letter to the Him family, Chanthy, Robert, or anyone from the abortion ministry, please send your letters to Maine4Jesus@gmail.com and we will pass it along to them. If you would like me to print out a letter and give it to the Him family, please send them to me before Friday, August 12 as we will be seeing the Him family this weekend.

If you would like me to just forward an email to someone, that can be done any time. The Him family may not be able to keep multiple letters and emails may be a better option for them.  For those of you who would like to send a letter to Mike Stockwell or Robert Gray please write to the email address listed above. Please do not feel like you have to write something long, but if you are able, please just write something short to let them know you are praying for them. But above all please keep these servants of God in your prayers.

With love in the LORD,
Virginia.

Fellowship Conference, Open Air Preaching, Abortion outreach saves lives!

Hi everyone.
This week was the probably our best day at the murder mill so far. A man came up to one of the women in our group and said  "I am a Buddhist. I want to follow Jesus." When asked what he knew about Jesus, he answered. "I know He died on the cross for my sins and He forgives me. I do not want to follow Buddha anymore." Praise the LORD for this confession of faith!

This week we were joined by a lady who we had met on the 4th of July. She had a great time being out there, hearing the proclamation of the Gospel while we plead with women to let their babies live. Hopefully she will be able to come out with us more often. It seems like God gave us both good and bad encounters on the same day. We had one lady say "I like to murder my babies." Someone said that Mommy should be arrested for child abuse because she was letting my siblings look at the pictures on our signs. Just so everyone knows this man was not talking about graphic abortion pictures. He was talking about the pictures of babies who were either still in the womb or were born early. But God has showed us that it worth it to go out to the murder mill to bring the gospel to the men and women of Portland. God is working through our group to save the lives of these people.

This week 4 men got to preach. Daddy started off the day by preaching through Romans 1. Then Brian preached through the story of Jesus and Barabbas before Pontius Pilot. Wesley then preached from the book of Proverbs. Andrew finished off by preaching through Lamentations 2.

Next Friday is the fellowship conference in Portland. We will be out on the street from 8 to 9 in the morning. We will have multiple street preachers attending the conference. Daddy thinks all the street preachers should pick a street corner and start preaching since we will only have 1 hour to work with.

Among the men attending the conference is Mike Stockwell. Please be praying for brother Stockwell as he travels home from England.

One of our friends from the abortion mill named Andrew challenged me to memorize 3 chapters of the book of Psalms before the end of August. He suggested memorizing Psalms 2, 22, and 110. I have memorized chapter 2 so far. I am now working on chapter 22.

For prayer requests I would like to ask for prayers for officer Keller who is a police officer in  Portland. We have been able to see him 5 times now and I would appreciate it if you would be praying for his salvation. He is one of the officers who stands outside to the abortion mill to make sure we do not do anything wrong. Sadly he does not stop the slaughter of the babies who are being murdered by their own mothers.

I would also like to ask for continued prayers for the Him family from Cambodia. They are looking for a house to rent in Michigan since their oldest sons Chandara and Darit will be attending a mission aviation school near there. While the Hims are used to living in a small house, People here in the states will not rent them a 3 bedroom house since there are 11 people. Please pray that God will provide a house for them.

With love in LORD.
Virginia.
