Today is "Day 41." We take time now to look back at the
blessings God has provided during the 40 Days for Life
campaign that just ended, of course. But just as
importantly, we also look to the future.
For this campaign, we have received reports of ...
... 668 babies spared from abortion -- that we know of!
Many of the local campaigns are still compiling reports,
so it's highly likely that this number will increase as
the national team receives more of their updates.
Praise God!

RENO, NEVADA
------------------------------------------------------
Cyndy had the opportunity to talk with a couple on the
sidewalk outside the abortion center in Reno. The wife
had been told that she needed an abortion because she
and the child could die if she continued the pregnancy.
"Cyndy gave them our resource list," said Carol Marie
in Reno, "and thank God, they used it." They were
referred to the emergency room. "The following day,
rather than returning to the abortion site, they
visited the local pregnancy center for life-affirming
help," Carol Marie said. "Praise God!"

DUBLIN, IRELAND
------------------------------------------------------
Abortion is not legal in Ireland -- but there are
agencies that encourage women to travel to England
to abort their babies.
Carolyn in Dublin says the vigil "is so far successful,
thank God." They are able to refer women for pro-life
assistance -- and away from abortion.
"We have confirmation of one baby saved," she said,
"and we are in regular contact with the couple."

POUGHKEEPSIE, NEW YORK
------------------------------------------------------
As Rich was praying at the 40 Days for Life vigil in
Poughkeepsie, he noticed a red SUV enter the Planned
Parenthood parking lot. One of the volunteers walked
over to talk -- and to offer some information, which
the driver accepted.
The car then parked close to the entrance, and the
prayer team could see if was a mother and her two
teenage daughters. After a while, Rich said, "The
mother came over to us and told us that her daughter
was NOT going to have the abortion. She was very
strong on that."

LITTLE ROCK, ARKANSAS
------------------------------------------------------
Mary in Little Rock says a couple from Memphis came
for an abortion on the advice of four doctors, who
all said the baby would die and possibly the mother.
The volunteers told them there were other options to
consider. The woman was referred to a pro-life ob/gyn
who specializes in high-risk pregnancies. "Against all
odds," Mary said, "their baby continues to live. She
is 7 months along ... we are praying for a miracle."
God has granted many miracles in this campaign. We
can always join in praying for one more!
