Standing in the Gap - June 27, 2013

Rescue those who are being taken away to death; hold back those who are stumbling to the slaughter. ~Proverbs 24:11

 

 

 

Drew, Esther and I arrived at the abortuary at 9:30 am.  Pastor Dale was already there and one of the workers was there as was a client.   Dale said the women had been there yesterday with her 18-20 year old daughter and the mother told him she was bringing her daughter for birth control; but being back again early this morning, Dale said it was an abortion.

 

Jillian and Hannah arrived.  Jillian had purchased a wonderful little microphone/amplification unit.  She strapped it on and walked the sidewalk in front of the clinic sharing God’s word and human development/abortion facts.  

 

 

A couple more workers arrived as did Marty, the abortionist, which was earlier than usual.  He stopped to tell Jillian there was a bubble law and she was not allowed to block the entrance to the clinic, which there isn’t in Ohio and she wasn’t anyway.  As he pulled in the drive he gave us his usual smug smile and blessing (middle finger) and drove around to park in the back.

 

Another car pulled in; and as the ladies were entering we tried to give them information and tell them we knew people who would adopt an unwanted child.  They looked at the posters for a minute and kept walking.  Jillian pleaded with them, but they went in.

 

The first lady, who had brought her daughter, came out.  Jillian handed her a “First 9 Months” book and she sat in the car and read it.  While she was in the car, Jillian walked over near the parking lot and began speaking to her with the amp unit.  The woman was becoming visibly upset and was shaking her head and raising her voice to someone on the phone. Eventually she drove away. Jillian proceeded back to the front door to continue sharing scripture and pregnancy/abortion facts.

 

 

 

 

Two more clients arrived but neither took the information.  As two of them were coming back out Achtse called out to them and they started screaming obscenities at her.  It was very sad to see them be abusive to this dear sweet, gentle older lady.

 

Esther handed out 12 tracts today to people passing by.  One of them actually drove up to speak to us about what we were doing.  They wanted to let us know they supported it and gave Dale a couple bucks, which he gave to Jillian for gasoline since she travels over an hour one way to speak for the unborn.  

 

 

 

 

A man on a bicycle riding past stopped to talk to Achtse and Dale; and he was shocked by the posters and knowing what was going on in the building. He took pictures to show his friends and rode by a little later with another guy to show him the posters.

 

 

 

 

This is a day care center in the building attached to the abortion mill where they regularly slaughter children.  Murding children in one part of the building, caring for them in the other.  How disturbing is that?

 

 

 

It was a really strange day today. Only four clients came in; Praise God!!  Unfortunately we are fairly certain the first one was a partial birth abortion. They were there early and when they left out the back door the woman was moving slowly and then was lying down in the passenger seat. It was very sad .

 

On a bright note, Pastor Dale said that the last people in last Thursday, came out shortly after we left at Noon.  It was a woman and man that had come in separate cars.  We had given them information, but they went in anyway.  Dale said they were not in long enough to have seen Marty and they came out the front door, while those who have abortions exit through the back.  He said the two hugged in the parking lot.  The man drove away and the woman got in her car.  Dale offered her more info and said, “I hope you don’t come back here.”  She took the info, smiled at him and drove away.   Perhaps a save!!!  Praying she does not return.

 

Please continue to pray that this evil will be abolished and please get involved.  Pray that Marty and his staff will REPENT of their evil deeds and believe in Jesus.  Pray for those who led their children to slaughter today that God would work in their hearts and bring them to repentance, faith and forgiveness. 

For “everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.”  How then will they call on him in whom they have not believed? And how are they to believe in him uof whom they have never heard?And how are they to hear without someone preaching? 15 And how are they to preach unless they are sent? As it is written, “How beautiful are the feet of those who preach the good news!” 16 But they have not all obeyed the gospel. For Isaiah says, “Lord, who has believed what he has heard from us?” 17 So faith comes from hearing, and hearing through the word of Christ. ~Romans 10:13-17

 

What will you do to get involved?   Men and women are committing murder in the name of "choice" and need to be warned of the wrath to come.  The unborn have no voice of their own.  We must speak on their behalf.

Rescue the Perishing | Frances J. Crosby

 

Rescue the perishing, care for the dying,

Snatch them in pity from sin and the grave;

Weep o’er the erring one, lift up the fallen,

Tell them of Jesus, the mighty to save.

 

Rescue the perishing, care for the dying,
Jesus is merciful, Jesus will save.

Though they are slighting Him, still He is waiting,

Waiting the penitent child to receive;

Plead with them earnestly, plead with them gently;

He will forgive if they only believe.

Down in the human heart, crushed by the tempter,

Feelings lie buried that grace can restore;

Touched by a loving heart, wakened by kindness,

Chords that were broken will vibrate once more.

Rescue the perishing, duty demands it;
Strength for thy labor the Lord will provide;
Back to the narrow way patiently win them;
Tell the poor wand’rer a Savior has died.

Rescue the perishing, care for the dying,
Jesus is merciful, Jesus will save.
