Last Thursday a consultation appointment was scheduled by a mother who had planned to proceed with an abortion even after seeing her baby's ultrasound. This first appointment is required by law and would have started the process in motion for her to end her child's life.
But our prayers were heard....she cancelled the appointment and will give birth this fall!
Prayer warriors were out on the sidewalk that day, sacrificing and offering prayers that this mother and father would find another way...and they did. These acts of love were seen and answered. Praise and thanks be to God!
But the next day, on Friday, there were many more entering the parking lot of Planned Parenthood for first appointments, scheduling abortions for this week.
I just read a quote from Troy Newman, President of Operation Rescue and Pro-Life Nation, echoing our request to you each week: "We encourage those in the pro-life community to pray for (abortionists) to have a change of heart about committing abortions. Next week promises to be a busy abortion week, so it is important for anyone that can....to take a shift outside (Planned Parenthood) abortion clinic to pray and offer practical help to women seeking abortions."
Many hours are available this week to give support and pray for these babies and their desperate mothers. Can you help? Go to vigilforlife.org or email info@vigilforlife.org to sign up for one of these hours or a monthly recurrent hour.
"I give you a new commandment: love one another. As I have loved you, so you also should love one another. This is how all will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another." (John 13:34-35)
