Last week Wednesday, we had a "turnaround" at Planned Parenthood - a couple left Planned Parenthood right after coming! This is what sidewalk counselor Dan had to say:
"At about 1:15 p.m., one man came outside just after he walked in with a young woman. I asked him if they were going to be ok. He actually stopped and responded, 'Say what?' I continued, 'If.Your. Friend. Is. Pregnant. We. Can. Help. Free ultrasounds – pregnancy test, diapers - clothing. Go back inside and get her out of there. It’s the best thing you will do all day. This is an evil place.' He was still listening but looked perplexed, so I repeated myself, pointing to heaven, 'For the love of God, get her out of there!' He waved, saying, 'Ok,' and went inside. And he did get her out of there! Their total stay couldn’t have been for longer than five minutes. When they came outside, the man looked to me as I pointed to heaven and said, 'Amen! Thank you!' He gave me the thumbs up and walked his friend to the car."
Thank you, Dan, for giving this couple the encouragement they needed to leave Planned Parenthood behind!
Have you been out to pray yet? If you haven't, now is the time so that we can keep on having such opportunities for the conversion of hearts.
Midpoint Vigil with Bishop Morlino: Join us tomorrow, Tuesday, October 18, at 6:00 p.m. for a candlelight midpoint vigil with Bishop Robert Morlino. He will lead us in prayer and motivate us spiritually to continue with the sacrifices that 40 Days for Life requires. The vigil will be on the sidewalk in front of Planned Parenthood (3706 Orin Road Madison, WI 53704). Come and be encouraged to go to the sidewalk for the first time... or to return to the sidewalk refreshed spiritually!
Our vigil captains have been doing a great job filling the holes in our vigil schedule -thank you, vigil captains! However, sometimes, the need is too great to rely just on our vigil captains. That's where we need your vigilance with our vigil calendar. Will you check in every few days to help ensure that our 24/7 vigil is filled? Can you lend a helping hand so that our most stalwart prayer warriors can have a few days "off" to rest? Right now, here are our needs:
Tuesday (10/18/11): 7 hours to fill!
Wednesday (10/19/11): 17 hours to fill -help!
Thursday (10/20/11): 17 hours to fill -we need you!
Sign-up RIGHT NOW at http://vigilforlife.org/calendar/monthview or by contacting Laura Karlen (608-445-2064 or laura@vigilforlife.org)!
40 Days for Life is a superhuman effort, and we need the contributions of each person to make 40 Days for Life possible. For this, we place our trust in the Lord.
