Day 30…Thanks to Lincoln Place Church of the Nazarene, Resurrection Parish and our wonderful team!

Known But To God

Can you imagine a cemetery filled with crosses for all the babies that have been aborted? 60+ million crosses.  It’s hard to imagine. This is the sad reality we live in.  God knows each and every baby and they are in His presence this very minute.  One day a woman exited PP and we offered information and said, “We are always here for you, whatever you need!”  She replied and said, “It’s already gone b__ch!” My response was, “Your baby is already in heaven with Jesus!”

We continue to show up for these babies. Through no fault of their own, they have been taken to the slaughter by the person who is supposed to nurture and care for them the most.

My husband took the picture above of the cross in Normandy as he was there with his uncle for the 80th Anniversary of D-Day. In Normandy there are over 9,300 graves in the American Cemetery with simple markers of crosses or Stars of David. We thank God for the fearless warriors who fought and many who paid the ultimate sacrifice with their lives.  God knows each and every one He creates.  The cross that really struck my husband was the one with the inscription that says: “Here Rests In Honored Glory A Comrade In Arms Known But To God.” God knows these little babies too; innocent lives snuffed out, dismembered and discarded.  They are precious in His sight because He created them, and before He formed them He knew them. It seems history is repeating itself.  The Jews were sent to concentration camps and 6 million of them were killed in the Holocaust by the Nazi’s. The people were deceived with lies, propaganda and many in the church remained silent.  Can you see the same thing happening today? The devil’s playbook has not changed one bit.  We live in a Modern Day Holocaust 10 times worse than what happened in Nazi Germany.  Will the Church rise to the occasion and stand for our pre-born brothers and sisters?  It’s time to WAKE UP CHURCH!  DON’T BE DECEIVED!  We need “Fearless Warriors Anointed For Battle” and trusting in God’s protection and provision as we step out in faith.  God WILL provide everything we need.  

God we praise You and thank You and give You all the glory.  You know us and love us and call us to repent and turn back to You.  You will strengthen us and help us to persevere. You tell us to hold fast that You are coming soon.  We say “Come Lord Jesus Come”.  We know Your promises are true and we will be with You in paradise.  We will rule and reign with you. Thank you Jesus.  We ask all this in the Mighty name of Jesus. Amen

Keep reading to find out what happened on the sidewalk today…

7:30-9:00 – Nikki & Dean

It was just Dean and I on the sidewalk for the first shift, and it was nice to get caught up with my brother, who has been with our 40 days family since 2011. Sadly, the first abortion-bound couple entered the clinic around 8pm. Although they politely listened to me and accepted the brochure, they entered and did not come back. There was one single woman who entered, and after talking with Glenn at the desk, left and did not return. I expected her to return shortly, since it appeared that she was asking him about where to park her car, but she never did. I hope and pray maybe that was a mind changed. After the first “couple”, it was just single women entering after that. NOTE: The security camera was not plugged in when I retrieved it from the Little Lamb, although the battery was still charged…it had been running all night inside the cabinet. The adapter was also gone from the plug. Luckily I had another adapter in the bag (a pink one), so it is now plugged into the outlet to the right of the cabinet. Please make sure to keep the battery charging overnight and unplug the cord from the camera so it doesn’t keep running all night.

9:00-11:00 – Judy, Barbara & Richard

There wasn’t any traffic into PP as Chuck and I joined Barbara and Richard on the sidewalk. About halfway through the shift a couple people came out and there were a few who entered the doors. No one was receptive to hear about or receive any resources. But they DID receive our prayers. I was able to pray with a young man (we will call him C) who was carrying a homeless sign. He said he was not actually homeless, but he needed a safe place to stay. He also wanted me to pray for his son and granddaughter for their safety. If you think of C, please lift him and his family in prayer. Also a woman I had seen on the street before stopped by and I was able to pray with her. She asked specifically for prayer for her drinking problem. So if you think of her, please pray for her as well. God answers prayer.

11:00-1:00 – Beth Ann & Linda

Thank you to Beth Ann, Angi, Nancy, Sam, Tom, Ed and Bob for praying on the sidewalk today. At one point Tom led the group in singing hymns, which was quite lovely. It was a busy day, with several couples entering and exiting during our shift. No one was interested in taking any information offered.

At one point someone who works at PP approached me, showing me his badge which said Planned Parenthood. He repeated several times, “I am helping people,” to my face. I just shrugged, trying to tell him that I was just trying to save a life.

Then came the loud repeated F bombs directed to me. I simply replied, “God Bless You,” to each curse. He was screaming, and I was blessing him back, my voice increasing in volume as his did as he crossed the street. I ended with, “God loves you.” It is through God’s grace that we are able to witness with peace to the anger we encounter on the sidewalk. Linda

1:00 – 3:00 – Carolyn

We had a wonderful group from Resurrection parish today, including two ladies that had never been there before and were a little hesitant to come. But they did great, handing out information to people and talking with passersby. At one point an angry man took out his lighter and attempted to burn one of our baby models, but our guard stopped him. Another man stopped to tell us that he lost a child to abortion but has since repented and is now a Christian and hopes to see his child in Heaven one day.

Sadly it was a very busy day at PP with many couples going in. We tried to help as many as we could. We got many middle fingers, but also got many blessings and positive comments.

3:00-5:00 – Mary, Kathy & Patty

We didn’t take a picture. Kathy engaged a number of passersby while Patty and I prayed a rosary and Divine Mercy chaplet, and a fairly good number of people took our literature. We had a few derogatory comments but probably more positive encouragement from people walking past, and a quick visit from Bill’s son. Laura came by with an aide; something happened to her wheelchair and our security guard fixed it for her! Most of the people exiting PP were workers, there was one young woman who came out glaring at us, finger raised, and a young couple who wouldn’t speak to us. Brasilia told us some middle school students had come by and threw the bubble machine on the ground, but she managed to get it working again.
