It’s always exciting to attend a prayer rally at a 40 Days for Life vigil site.
You will hear enthusiastic speakers and reports about what is happening locally and around the world. And sometimes you will actually witness a baby saved from abortion!
That is exactly what happened at the end of a rally that 40 Days for Life board member Tibor Baksy visited in North Carolina. It’s an amazing story!
Fayetteville, North Carolina
A beautiful morning got even better when a couple at the Fayetteville 40 Days for Life rally shared their story of adopting a baby whose mother had once contemplated abortion.
It was truly a love story, made possible by the prayers of volunteers and the grace and mercy of God.
A short time later, “we were at the end of the rally, and our deacon was closing with prayer,” said Karinna, the Fayetteville coordinator. “He finished and asked if we could stay a little longer since a lady was reaching out to a client and she was starting to walk over.”
A young woman with an abortion appointment, who was there with her mother, spoke to the volunteers – who learned that the mother was against the abortion. Still, both women eventually walked into Planned Parenthood.
“I asked a volunteer what happens normally in a situation like this and she told me Planned Parenthood is very persuasive once the mothers go inside,” said Tibor (on the right in the photo above).
Karinna said the deacon, Tibor and a number of others knelt in prayer.
“After about 20 minutes, the young woman returned to say she had chosen life for the baby,” Tibor said. “We were elated and emotional. The power of prayer is amazing!”
“It was God’s work. Only He could have reached her heart,” Karinna said. “God deserves all the glory.”
“My drive home took five hours and during that time I said many prayers of thanks, shed some tears and reflected on a beautiful morning where the grace of God was so visibly evident,” said Tibor.
“I am grateful to God for the volunteers, for His calling me to this ministry and for all the gifts He continues to bestow.”
