Over 1,300 Minds Changed In 2019: Our Awesome God At Work

-


2019 HIGHLIGHTS: 
- I BECAME AN AUNT! (top left photo) My little nephew is due to arrive February 20th, and I couldn’t be more excited to meet him. Praise the Lord for His goodness! I know my brother Daniel & his wife Hannah are already great parents! 

- A few short week’s ago while Ava and I were outside of Planned Parenthood, we met a young mother considering abortion. A couple days later she told me she decided to keep her baby instead of having an abortion! (top right photo) Keep “Mama L”* in your prayers as she’s in a really rough situation. *name redacted for safety/privacy concerns. 

-God continues to grow and bless our team (bottom left photo) and let us see some fruit from this work. Over 1,300 people have changed their minds on abortion during our 340-some outreaches in 2019! 

-God said yes to my prayer that I would hold a baby who’s life was spared from abortion through my ministry. (bottom right photo) We’ve been able to bless this little guy’s family with many practical needs through your support. The full story is back in my September update. 

 -I’ve seen God convict people of sin while I’ve shared the Gospel. As I pray for the salvation of their souls, I trust God is continuing  His work in their hearts.

Curing Misconceptions About Abortion

“ Thank you for clearing it up, because there were a lot of misconceptions I had about abortion .”   – Travis, Eastern Kentucky University Bystanders see what abortion does to the preborn babies on our JumboTron TV while they overhear our conversations. Travis first said he was kind of indifferent on the issue of abortion. I was able to share some information with him, and ask if he had any questions.  “I think you’re really starting to clear up everything about it… you covered it pretty good.”   As we shook hands and he walked away, he said:  “ Thank you for clearing it up, because there were a lot of misconceptions I had about abortion.”  My colleague Sam winsomely draws protesters in conversation everywhere we go – he’s like a magnet for our opposition – and they listen! This month I joined our travelling team on the road in Kentucky for three days, and had some great conversations. I know many of you are not able to join us during an out...

A Crazy Week in Washington

“…And such were some of you.” I Cor. 6:11 These words went through my mind, and I turned away from the rest of our team as tears began to drip down my face. I was thinking of how merciful God has been to me, the redemption I have experienced, and how lavishly He has poured out His grace on me.  This took place while our team was in D.C. at the Women’s March on Washington. After a turbulent day of outreach, we were heading out and our group had stopped to let the rest of our team catch up with us. As I looked across the masses, one thing that they all had in common struck me: they were all hurt and without hope of healing.  It started to make sense: their anger, violence, and hatred. They are a lost people, reacting to their wounds in the only way they know how. Christ is our healer, and people without Christ are also without healing. Upon this realization, I’m increasingly challenged to reach out to the hurting/wounded people around me and share the hope that we have in ou...

December 2016 - Reflection

-

This month I have been reflecting over what has happened in 2016, and the best word that comes to mind is: blessed . I’m blessed with an amazing family. I’m blessed with a job that I am not only passionate about, but also one that I love. I’m blessed with like-minded colleagues who love each other – they really have become some of the best friends I have. I am blessed with a Godly team of friends who stand with me, pray for me, and donate to support my work. I am humbled. Back in December of 2015, God was preparing my heart to move away from home to Columbus to do His work with Created Equal. Since then I have grown so much personally--in my walk with God, in my faith, in my ability to defend my beliefs, and many other ways. One opportunity I’ve had to share Christ was when I approached a homeless man at a laundromat. He had been using the laundromat phone to call someone and was telling them that he was going to turn himse...
