Fall 2008 40 Days for Life - DAY 6: 48 Lives Saved & Counting...

No wonder Planned Parenthood is trying to stop them in NY City (NY City Council Members. . . .).

Here is some of the latest good news from the Fall 2008 40 Days for Life campaign taken from today's update by David Bereit:

Want to hear some great news this Monday morning? (Of course!!!!!)

Thus far, local 40 Days for Life coordinators have reported 48 babies saved from abortion! And reports are still coming in. It's awesome!

Karen in Oklahoma City tells of a young woman who approached sidewalk counselors outside the clinic."They could tell she was conflicted and open to their words," she said.

This young woman was the victim of sexual assault. "She was afraid of carrying a child she did not really want," said Karen, "but she was also afraid that she might fall in love with her baby if she chose life."

After the counselors described the free resources available, she asked if she could choose an adoptive family for her baby. The answer was a resounding yes ."The counselors hugged her and thanked her for choosing life for her unborn child," Karen said. "She left smiling and happy. Praise God!"

Michele in Colorado Springs reports a car drove up to the clinic and two young women got out -- a woman scheduled for an abortion and her friend. The friend called out to the people praying outside the clinic,"I'm with you! Pray for her!" And of course they did just that. The two women went inside the clinic, then came back out and talked. They went back in again, and came back out and talked again.

This time, someone shared a scripture verse with them-- Isaiah 49:15: "Can a mother forget her infant, be without tenderness for the child of her womb? Even should she forget, I will never forget you." After reading this together, the two young women went home. The baby was saved!

Carol in Toms River, New Jersey was praying with a small group outside the clinic when a young couple walked out, quietly talking to one another. "She was crying," Carol noticed. "He hugged her and then she began to walk down the steps with a smile on her face and tears in her eyes."

The young woman looked at the vigil volunteers and said, "I could not do it. I just could not do it." Still, she was afraid of her mother's reaction, because it was her mother who was pushing the abortion. She also had concerns that her boyfriend might not be able to finish college. "But she took the first step in conquering those fears," Carol said, "and God will bless her."

Carol added, "There is much to be said when you realize that our prayers really make a difference. There is much to be said when you know in your heart you are part of God's plan. If you have not yet gotten involved in 40 Days for Life, I cannot tell you the blessings you will experience and the wonderful people you will meet -- all for the glory of God."

Keep praying everyone. GOD IS WORKING POWERFULLY!!!!!!!!!!!! If you can go to 1 of the sites to pray do so. If not, & there is a clinic nearby where local Pro-Lifers regularly pray, then join them if your schedule allows. If not, pray at home. Which is what you should at least be doing already. Prayer by an individual is powerful. But when 2 or more people prayer God's power usually works exponentially.
