Our efforts are not in vain

From Sue Sutherland 

​As we wrapped up our street ministry and were heading over to the group to close in prayer, Roberto and I were waiting to cross at the busy intersection directly in front of a gas station where a young family was pumping gas. A woman rolled down her window and called to us with much enthusiasm. She thanked us for being out on the streets with our signs and our message, saying that she knows hardly anyone will stop to thank us. We were very grateful for her kindness.


She then got out of her car and came to us, pointing back to the passenger window saying, "Do you see that little girl,  do you see her? I was faced with this decision and went to Planned Parenthood for abortion but I saw people like you there and I heard them and I changed my mind." We were momentarily speechless! We then rejoiced with Victoria and thanked her for talking with us. The little girl, maybe three years old, jumped from the car and ran to us as well. We all hugged and praised God! The dad was in the driver seat and he was smiling and waving and honking his horn, yelling to us, thank you, thank you, thank you! 


What a glorious ending to our mission that day. Thousands see our signs which help them to identify with the humanity of the pre-born and many receive the literature, pointing them to Christ through the Gospel. This is baseline Christianity; this is loving God and our neighbor. Come join us in the fellowship of the saints on the third Saturday of the month.
