A Line Waiting to Get Into Planned Parenthood

Dear Friends,

This morning I received a call at 8:55am from a prayer warrior who observed 5 or 6 women waiting for Planned Parenthood to open.  On the sidewalk we pray for the conversion of the hearts of the people entering and exiting this abortion mill.  We pray that they will find "another way." To make this happen, could those scheduled for a 9:00am shift come a few minutes early, if possible?  Your presence on the sidewalk can change these hearts before entering the abortion mill!  

Last week Planned Parenthood was closed for a day.  It was a beautiful sight to see no cars in the parking lot, no activity.... Let us pray with 40 Days for Life beginning in only 3 weeks that this can be a permanent sight!


Heavenly Father, You have given us a gracious gift, an opportunity to serve You and those You have said are so precious to You, the smallest of little children, the preborn babies. We pray that You will bless our efforts to set aside 40 Days across our nation for fasting, prayer and 24-hour vigil.
