The Story of Two Saves! (May 17, 2014)

On Saturday May 17, we were blessed to witness with our eyes the most recent save at the Central Avenue clinic in St Petersburg. As cars started pulling up, and women began entering the clinic, we called out with our usual greetings.  “Good morning, please take some information, we’re here to help you!” In the midst of all this calling out, a car pulled up next to the shrubs. In it, was a young black woman. She sat in her car for a very long time. We were not sure if she was there that morning to pick up someone, or if she was there to support a friend, or if she was there for an abortion.

As we were calling out to some other folks going inside the clinic, we noticed that she had opened her car door. As we got closer to her, we could see the tears on her face and felt the anguish on her heart. We began praying for her and calling out to God on her behalf. She told us that she did not want to have an abortion; she was really struggling with the decision. We continued to pray. I sent out instant texts to our team of supporters and friends and activated their prayers.

Get ready to shout Hallelujah! The girl (we’ll call her Wendy) went to to lunch with another sidewalk counselor who led her to Jesus right then and there. Wendy is now in touch with a local pregnancy center with Christian women who will love and care for her. Please continue to pray for her and check back for updates on my Facebook page or in newsletters to come. 

Sidewalk counseling works, everyone! Join Scott J Mahurin and Florida Preborn Rescue so that we can have a voice every day on the sidewalks of St. Petersburg.
