I want to share with you a prayer warrior's exciting story about her experience on the sidewalk of Planned Parenthood last Sunday. As she and her group began their prayer shift, a car with a young woman pulled up and asked if they were there to stop abortion. Upon their affirmative reply, she motioned to the back seat where they saw her 6 month old son in his car seat, a picture of health! "I did not abort," she declared, "because you people were out here!" To quote the prayer warrior: "What joy for all of us to hear her testimony! Of all the times I've been on a sidewalk praying, this is a first for me!"
THIS is why we're out there in the dark, in the night, in the cold, in the rain, without sleep....to sacrifice, to be uncomfortable for a little while, to pray for the baby with no voice, no choice and the mother who will regret.
As you let this story soak in, please look at the vigil calendar and come out to the sidewalk this weekend and next week - our final week of 40 Days for Life. We're approaching the home stretch and need you as much now as we did at the beginning. You may never know if you personally changed someone's mind by being out there but you may know for sure that, as part of this international campaign, you definitely played an important role in saving the more than 340 lives so far!

Last Monday evening
we had a beautiful candlelight Stations of the Cross vigil on the
sidewalk of Planned Parenthood with over 20 prayer warriors attending.
We thank Fr. Heilman, St. Mary's Pine Bluff prayer warriors who
organized it, and all who joined us in prayer that evening.
Closing Event for 40 Days for Life - Sunday, Nov. 4, 2012 Details coming next week! Save the date!
God bless you!
