Columbia, Missouri

March 2, 2017

When the Columbia team kicked off their 40 Days for Life vigil with a march around the Planned Parenthood facility, they had some unexpected company.

Pro-abortion protesters joined them on the walk!

Some of them were costumed members of a group that calls itself the Guild of Silly Heathens.

Kathy, the local 40 Days for Life leader, said as the volunteers lined up for their march, the demonstrators got in line behind them — and started walking!

“They began to drop out after the first round,” she said, “and only a few were left at the end. They left with our silent prayers for conversion and sincere wishes for safe travels.”

Kathy said the entire event was peaceful, and there were no confrontations of any kind.

One of the local television stations covered the kickoff, with Kathy telling the reporter that 40 Days for Life volunteers will help connect women with life-affirming assistance.

“We’ll also be out here offering help to women who may be seeking an abortion, telling them where free resources are where they can seek alternatives and help,” she said.

DAY 3: The Lord’s call for unity

March 3, 2017

By the grace of God, we see in the pro-life movement different faith communities coming together to defend the most innocent among us.

“Our kickoff was a very special anointed time!” wrote one of the 40 Days for Life team members in Atlanta, Georgia.

Volunteers gathered at First Alliance Church to prepare their hearts for the 40-day journey ahead.

“There were many beautiful Holy Spirit moments at our kickoff,” the Atlanta leader said, “but something that really delighted my heart was seeing Protestant and Catholic, black and white coming together in prayer to seek God’s heart and pray for our community. Already this shows the healing power of God that He longs to pour out everywhere!”

And that is just part of the beauty of 40 Days for Life!

We realize there are divisions among us … but we stand as one when it comes to petitioning our Father in heaven to put an end to the evil of abortion.

Take time today to seek Him in prayer — if possible, at one of the 340+ 40 Days for Life vigils around the world.
