Help Shape History

I have often said that the battle to end abortion MUST be undergirded by prayer. It is prayer that puts us into the place we need to be to change history. We are presented with an unprecidented opportunity to do just that. On 16 August 2008 there is an event planned for the National Mall in Washington, D.C. On that day every Christian who can is being called to gather there to join in prayer for an end to abortion.

Think of it, hundreds of thousands joined together in prayer at 1 time! & I suspect many hundreds of thousands more who won't be able to make the trip will join in wherever they are on that day.

With an election coming up, the urgency to answer the call to prayer & action is greater than ever. I agree with the statement they are making that this could be a tipping point in the battle.

There are many positive signs that something is happenning. Here are some of those signs that they are pointing out to us:

• 40 Days for Life campaigns have mobilized tens of thousands of first-time pro-life volunteers
• Abortion facilities are going out of business
• The number of abortionists is rapidly dwindling
• New judges have ruled to ban partial-birth abortions
• Movies are revealing that adoption is a better answer than abortion
• There are more pregnancy resource centers than abortion clinics
• Young people are taking the cause into their classrooms and into the public arenas
• Colorado has placed a measure on this fall's ballot to amend the state constitution and
• recognize the personhood of children in the womb
• A bill in South Dakota could virtually end abortion in that state
• Other states are taking on new, courageous life-saving measures
• African-Americans are exposing the racist roots of abortion
• Adoption statistics are soaring

We have no idea of what a united prayer effort such as this will accomplish. But we will never know unless we answer this call by God to do so.

Next Thursday, 5 June 2008 at 9 PM Eastern (6 PM Pacific) there will be a 60 minute teleconference with more information on this event. The speakers will include Lou Engle, the co-founder of TheCall; Dave Bereit, 40 Days for Life & Fr. Frank Pavone, Priests for Life.
