Yesterday’s email:
Early Wednesday morning — the first day of this
campaign — 40 Days for Life vigil participants were
praying for a young woman who arrived for an abortion
appointment in Cleveland. On her way towards the
building, she stopped and talked to one of the
counselors on the sidewalk.
The vigil participants feared the conversation had
not made an impact. Still, they kept praying.
A short time later, the young woman left the facility
in tears. She could not go through with the abortion,
thanks to the conversation with the counselor —
and the prayers.
Michael in Cleveland says a second life was saved
around lunchtime on Wednesday. 40 Days for Life
participants were praying as a woman left the
abortion center ... smiling. The man with her —
the baby’s father — was also smiling.
She walked over to the people praying and said,
“Don’t worry. I didn’t do it!”
The young couple drove away, happy ... and still
smiling. Said Michael, “Our God is awesome!”
On Day 1 in Huntsville, Alabama, vigil participants
were praying for two young women. One had arrived
for an abortion. The other was doing her best to
try to talk her friend out of aborting her baby.
The two went inside together while the people on
the sidewalk continued to pray ...
... and pray ...
... and pray!
They were inside for two hours, which could have been
seen as a discouraging sign. But finally, the friend
came out. “Did you see how long I was in there?” she
asked ... and then she announced the good news.
“I talked her out of it!” she said.
“Thanks for everything!”
“Everything,” of course, included two hours of praying
intently that God would touch this young woman’s
heart — and inspire the friend who desperately wanted
to see the baby live.
Prayer indeed works!
People praying at the Planned Parenthood abortion
center in Providence, Rhode Island learned that as
well. A woman drove up, eager to talk.
“You were out here praying two years ago when I went
in to have an abortion,” she said. “I just want you to
know that I came out of the clinic that day. I decided
to have my baby. I love her and I wanted to thank you.”
Thank YOU ... and thank our amazing Heavenly Father,
who hears each word of prayer.
Please keep praying!
And from today’s email — talking about the deception that Planned Parenthood is about:
A woman arrived for an appointment this week at the
Austin, Texas abortion center where a 40 Days for Life
vigil is being conducted. One of the pro-life sidewalk
counselors told her that if she was at this facility
for routine healthcare, there were other places she
could go — places that did not do abortions.
The young woman was stunned. “I had no idea my OB/GYN
did abortions,” she said. “I definitely do not want to
come back!”
