24 in 24
That is 24 more lives saved as a result of the 40 Days for Life campaign. Yesterday the number stood at 89, today it is 113. & while it is a start we still have a long way to go. 24 is less that 1% of the total abortions done daily in the USA. We need to rejoice & "Thank God!" while strengthening our determination to keep on fighting by praying & speaking out, even if we come under attack, spiritually, physically, financially, as many already have. Satan wants to stop us, we can't let him.
After yesterday’s report of 89 lives saved during this fall’s 40 Days for Life, more success stories have flooded in from across North America over the last 24 hours bringing the total now up to 113!!
Here are a few of the latest victories…
New 2007 abortion statistics just came out for North Carolina. Overall, abortions in the state showed a very slight decline. But in Mecklenburg County, in which Charlotte is located, abortions went down 17 percent! What made the difference?
“Charlotte conducted two 40 Days for Life campaigns in 2007,” said Andrea Hines, the local campaign coordinator, “our first in the spring and then we participated as part of the first national campaign in the fall. There were several factors contributing to the reduction, but the two 40 Days for Life campaigns definitely had a significant impact.”
Andrea said she’s eager to see how abortion rates are affected in other cities that have participated in 40 Days for Life, especially for other communities that have conducted multiple campaigns.
Charlotte is just one of many cities seeing a profound impact. “The 40 Days for Life campaign has affected so many people in our land,” said Colleen Samson, the local coordinator in Fargo, North Dakota. “All of us will be changed forever.”
Colleen reports that Bishop Samuel Aquila of the Catholic diocese of Fargo gave an inspiring sermon at his cathedral at the start of 40 Days for Life, then led 900 people on a march to the abortion facility — the only one remaining in the state of North Dakota.
There are no abortion clinics in the Catholic diocese of Bismarck, which covers the western half of North Dakota, but people there are being encouraged to pray in solidarity with the effort in Fargo, and pastors from all denominations are supporting the 40 Days for Life campaign.
“Truly, God is moving magnificently and powerfully in the land,” Colleen said.
The effect is being felt in many ways.
A young woman in Fort Wayne, Indiana was on her way to the clinic for her pre-abortion “counseling” appointment. As she drove, she saw two of the “pray and fast to end abortion” signs in people’s yards.
At that point, she knew she could not go through with the abortion. She turned around, and went home. How do we know? The young woman’s mother told a friend, who told another friend — who told one of the local 40 Days for Life coordinators.
“Tell everyone that God has blessed us with yet another baby saved!” writes Joellyn in Minnesota. “I went to Planned Parenthood and God allowed me to assist a woman who is seven weeks pregnant. We just go out, speak the truth and leave the results to God. He is working miracles all over!”
Amen!
