ANOTHER Turnaway at Planned Parenthood!

Great news to report!  Last Friday sidewalk counseling produced another turnaway at Planned Parenthood!  A woman, who stopped to accept literature at the driveway, decided to cancel her 1:30pm appointment after reading the pamphlets and talking with the sidewalk counselor.  Smiling and crying, she stated that she was not going through with it.  Praise God!  The counselor told how unusual it is to have that kind of turnaway and, when a mother unites with her child like this, there is great reason to rejoice.  Please pray for this mother, Lee, and her preborn child....

Not every day on the sidewalk will produce results as this and sometimes just being there makes all the difference.  Sign up for hours - you could be the one to change a heart.  Go to vigilforlife.org/calendar/monthview or contact info@vigilforlife.org.  Next week is looking a little thin!
