Praise God!

Here is a message from the Omega House sidewalk counselors:

On this beautiful summer-like day we were able to see God working at the Fulton Clinic. This was the second day of the 40 Days For Life which meant there were more people than usual at the Omega House. It was the change of shifts for the Life Counselors and we heard someone ask a couple who had gotten out of their car if they were here to pray. Immediately when I turned around to look and saw the confused look on their face, I knew these were not people here to pray but were people coming to the abortion clinic and had parked in the wrong parking lot. We then switched gears and took our information and discussed why they were there.

They had come all the way from Traverse City and the reason was financial. She had a job but did not have a place to live. Later when I went up to her car, I saw all her belongings, pillow blankets, clothes, etc packed high in the back seat. After a discussion about the help available, the option of adoption, the effects of abortion and giving her the Pause DVD and all the information and Bible that we give, they still said they wanted to go inside. BUT within 10 minutes we saw them walking down the Omega House driveway with a much happier attitude. When I asked if they were ready to accept help she shyly said yes. I expected they would then follow me to a local crisis pregnancy center but they didn't want to and got in the car and shut the doors and windows. A little confused but certain their mind was changed, I walked up to the car with a beautiful gift bag and knocked on the window. At first she wouldn't acknowledge me but then I held up the bag and the guy motioned for her to open the window. When she looked into the gift bag the tears started but they were tears of joy and gratitude. With a hug and a promise to help they left with smiles and waves. I also told them 500 people would be praying for them!

Please pray for J and J that God would give them the courage to call and seek out help because many are ready and willing to help them, and that God would use His Word to give them Hope and show them His tremendous love for them.

Another praise - The clinic was slow today and by noon everyone (except the dr and workers) was gone and even the nurse that assists the dr. left. That too, is an answer to prayer.

Praise God from whom all blessings flow!
