DAY 33: Rain, sleet and heat

October 30, 2016

Each 40 Days for Life campaign has its own local flavor — and weather.

We’ve seen all kinds of weather already during this 40 Days for Life campaign … and it’s not even November yet. This brings challenges that often require sacrifice.

It’s good to know, then, that at every hour of every day for 40 days … someone, somewhere around the world is at a location where abortions take place — praying for abortion to end.

And regardless of the weather … at the heart of things, there’s not much difference from one campaign to another.

One of our Texas volunteers pointed this out in a note on Facebook — in a response to the UNITED rally in Anchorage, Alaska, where it was 24 degrees and there was snow on the ground.

“My grandkids are in Anchorage and we are in Texas,” she wrote, “doing the same campaign — but at 95 degrees.”

Please keep that in mind. Even if you happen to be standing by yourself praying outside the abortion center, you’re never alone!

UNITED TOUR: Texas (Day 1)

October 30, 2016

Everything is bigger in Texas!

Fort Worth leader Bobby Warren managed to pull a crowd equal in size to the biggest vigil stop thus far on the 40 Days for Life UNITED tour!

Telemundo, the Spanish TV network, sent a reporter to the stop … and this news team captured the large crowd, the bus signing and vigil. Bobby Warren speaks excellent Spanish and offered an interview to the station.

It was an excellent line-up of speakers for the rally in Dallas! Georgette Forney of Silent No More Awareness talked about her abortion … and speaking of her child, she said, “I still miss that gift.”

Her testimony was so moving it prompted a gentleman at the event to share his regret of lost fatherhood — he aborted what would be, unknown to him, his only child. “I promise you know a man who has abortion in his past and he’s hurting even if he says otherwise. I used to be that man.”

40 Days for Life board member Haywood Robinson, a doctor who once performed abortions prior to his conversion, encouraged participants to keep the faith and finish the race … reminding everyone that God is our life and strength.

Now … it’s on to Austin, San Antonio and Houston!
