Leaving Marie Stopes abortion industry (evangelism testimony)

 This story takes place in Kitwe, at a spot Pastor Scibelli loves to evangelize at, outside Pie City, the smell of freshly baked apple pies is amazing, as we talk to people about Christ! Unfortunately the spot is opposite a place with a blue & white sign, "Mary Stopes", an abortuary, which, during the Bush years, had a ban on tax dollars funding it, but now, that has been overturned. Most Zambians don't have a clue what they do there. The law here prohibits abortions... unless the mothers life is at stake, which I presume, is their loophole. Planned Parenthood also has its tentacles here, on the road which leads to Chingola.

So as I'm sharing the gospel to people, this guy walks up to me wearing a Mary Stopes shirt. I asked if he was a Christian, and he said, "yes". Then I asked him how his conscience could let him work for a place like that. At that point, he came closer, and wanted to share something. He said both his and many of his collegues' consciences had been tormenting them, and showing me a letter from the headoffice in Lusaka, he explained that because of conscience, it appeared his job was in jeopardy and he asked for prayer because it's incredibly difficult to find new employment.

I encouraged him that God will be faithful to him and honor his decision to put God first, then prayed for him,  and he left.

Months later, standing at the same spot, I see this man coming through the crowd towards me... it's the same man! How did it go? He just wanted to tell me that God had given him a great new job, managing a driving school in town!

How God honors faith!
