The Waiting Room was Full--Prayer Warriors NEEDED!


They stand at the door waiting for Planned Parenthood to open and allow them in, to solve their "problem".  It's not easy watching each of them sit in the waiting room, filling out their clipboard of information before going through another door to the room where their child's life is taken. 

This was the scene last week as a few prayer warriors fervently prayed and counseled on the sidewalk.  This will be the scene again this week too.  Some days will be, according to our mortal, human vision, fruitless....it will seem that our prayer and presence is all a waste of time. 

But we don't always see the seeds planted - part of God's plan as in the following testimony from last week:  "As I was leaving the vigil this morning the man working on replacing the windows at the apartment buildings bordering the parking lot had a very nice conversation. He yelled out a thank you to me as I was getting into my car so I went over to talk to him. He said he had been working there a few weeks and was so grateful and impressed by the presence there....he said he is non-denominational and very pro-life."  ....these seeds are bearing fruit already!  Other days will show us even greater rewards - saved babies, turnaways.  It is said that nothing great happens without sacrifice...
.
AND THIS IS WHERE YOU COME IN!
There IS great sacrifice each week but only by a few!
One prayer warrior put in 12 hours last week to cover open hours!  Others are out there 4 or more hours each week to make sure time slots are filled! 

LET'S SHARE THE LOAD! 
We EACH have a duty, a responsibility, to stand up when there is injustice, to show the culture of life is the better way.  One day we will be asked if we did enough, indeed, if we did anything at all!  Below are the open hours this week; it's time for YOU to sign up....
