HAPPY ARE THOSE WHO ARE PURE BY HEART FOR THEY SHALL SEE THE KINGDOM OF GOD. I AM VERY GLAD TO HEAR ABOUT YOUR PERSONAL GOD EXPERIENCE AND REPENTANCE ATTITUDE WHICH HELPS AND EMPOWERS YOU TO PROCLAIM IT AND GUIDE OTHERS NOT TO COMMIT MURDER, WHICH IS AGAINST THE GOD’S COMMANDMENTS.

I AM SO HAPPY THAT I GOT A CHANCE TO TAKE PART IN THIS MISSION THAT IS 40 DAYS FOR LIFE AND I WISH WE WILL DEFINITELY SUCCEED IN OUR WORK WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT WHO IS THE GIVER OF LIFE.

GOD BLESS YOUR WORK AND YOUR CLIENT’S LIFE.

Please include in your prayers for babies being aborted up to 24 weeks by Planned Parenthood in Orange, CA. Doing research and came across that PP does abortion up to 24 weeks. I checked the locations and there is no 40 Days For Life in Orange, CA. I do not live in CA.

I, too have a similar story as Kimberly B. I was an unsaved teenager, knew of God, but never even held a Bible. I was also pro abortion and the bumperstickers for prolife got under my skin as well. I had three secrets, all with different partners.

At age 51, the Lord saved me and I gave my life to Him. The first thing He put on my heart was to counsel young women at a pregnancy center. When I walked up the steps of that center, very nervous, indeed, I remember thinking to myself ” I am now entering a pregnancy center for a different reason”. When I arrived, and announced my intentions to counsel other women, the most wonderful woman named Sherry, sat me down and asked me to talk alittle about myself. It was then that I cried like I have never cried before. After being involved in the session, “Forgiven and Set Free” and understanding God’s total forgiveness of my sin, I was able to perform ultrasounds for pregnant women and help them see their babies heartbeat (I am in the medical field, myself).
If only 40 days for life were there to help me and my babies. I have also named my two son’s and daughter, “Seth, Johnathan and Maria”. God bless you all and I pray for the closure’s of these clinics and hearts will be changed for the mothers, fathers, and workers at the abortion clinics. I have been forgiven, but the sadness is still fresh. I will hold my children someday. Right now, they are in the Father’s arms.

Today I was in front of the Long Beach CA Planned Parenthood. I handed out Pregnancy Help Resource numbers to women going in the door. Most took the info from me because I wore a smile and couldn’t look mean if I tried to! One lady struck me. She got out of her car right in front of the front door, and she looked as if she had been crying, she was so distraught. She wouldnt talk to me or take my info but went into the building. She was still there two hours later when I left. The hopelessness and devastation on her face I will never forget and I prayed for her and her baby that she would change her mind as God spoke to her heart.

Yesterday I was praying in front of the Mankato MN Planned Parenthood when a young man drove his car around and came to speak with us, he said “I had to come and thank you, my sister got pregnant in highschool and if it wasn’t for people like you I wouldn’t have a niece. Thank you.” I invited him to join us in prayer any time. What a miracle.

This year I participated for the first time in a 40 Days for Life prayer vigil, in front of “A Woman’s Choice” in Raleigh, NC. In the about 90 minutes I was there praying about a half dozen people went in, by car, and a couple came out; one of the ones who came out was a woman I saw enter.

The thing that struck me the most was how everyone who went in and came out was trying very hard not to look at me. A worker came out of the clinic to mail something. She had to walk by me to get to the mailbox. The whole time to the mailbox and back into the clinic she walked with her head down and turned away.

These people did not look angry. They did not even look like they were simply trying to ignore me. They looked ashamed.

My prayer is that these abortion workers and clients were and are not only ashamed but also convicted enough that they will turn from the very thought of murdering babies and instead be advocates for life for all people including the precious unborn. My prayer also is that they will also come to know and experience Christ the Lord of Life as their Savior.

I didn’t want to leave but had to. I hope to get back to pray more than once during this 40 Days for Life campaign.

May Jesus Christ Who Is The Life use us to help others find life.

40 Days for Life in Tampa was blessed today with a lady, who was passing by the prayer vigil and stopped her car to share her story with us. She was 15 years old, when her parents brought her to this very same facility to abort her baby. She is now 46 years old and has been blessed with three children. She told us that she has never over come the guilt of having an abortion and she just wanted to stop and tell how grateful she is that we are praying outside of this abortion clinic. We assured her that God has already forgiven her and she said: “I know, but I can not forgive myself!”. With much love, we gave her the information material for Project Rachel. She was overwhelmed of the love and support from a group of wonderful prayer vigil attendants. May God Bless her and heal her.

Day one of the Fall 2012 40 Days for Life Prayer Vigil:
OVER 53 Prayer Warriors joined together to bring the LIGHT OF GOD to
the darkness that surrounds the TOMS RIVER NJ abortion clinic……and
our prayers were answered.

ONLY 3 patients entered the clinic on a day that would normally be very busy.
ALL 3 LEFT THE CLINIC BEFORE THE ABORTIONIST ARRIVED

One young mother, accompanied by a friend left the clinic, spoke with
one of our Sidewalk Counselor’s and decided to say YES to God and keep
her baby. Our counselor accompanied them to the OPEN DOOR PREGNANCY
CENTER, just 5 minutes away.

On Day One of our Fall 2012 40 Days for Life Prayer Vigil, Satan’s
plan was stopped and God’s plan was restored for this baby and family.

JOIN US IN PRAYER DURING THIS URGENT VIGIL.
Include in your daily intentions that this be the LAST prayer vigil
needed in Toms River.

“Your light must shine before others, that they may see your good
works, and glorify your heavenly Father.”- Matthew 5:16

Join us in prayer. Contact: Frank 908-330-7861 or Mario 732-557-6689

We were blessed in Issaquah on Day 1 by a beautiful Letter to the Editor published in our local paper the Issaquah Press. The Editor even gave it a positive title. I’ve pasted it in below:

******************************************************
40 Days of Life: Standing Up for Another Option

In a few short days, the Issaquah 40 Days for Life will begin. The purpose of 40 Days is to bring God’s love and hope to women considering abortion.

Many years ago, I was one of those women. I was scared and uncertain about my decision to abort my first child. Memories still haunt me to this day — the waiting room full of women, the sound of the suction machine, the intense pain, a recovery room full of recliners, the screaming girl in the recliner next to me, the emptiness I felt afterward. For years after that I defended a woman’s right to choose, but would never ever admit to having had an abortion myself. I would get very angry when I saw cars with pro-life bumper stickers.

During a pro-life campaign much like 40 Days, I heard a minister talking about post abortion syndrome. In anger, I called the hotline number he offered me to inform them that I didn’t have P.A.S, but when the counselor answered the phone, all I could do was cry. And when the counselor asked me if I had any idea what sex the child was, I wailed. After I named this child (I named him Luke) and memorialized him at a Rachel’s Vineyard retreat, I became active in standing outside of abortion clinics.

The 40 Days for Life campaign is not a group of Christians out to condemn women. They are there in love for both the mother and the child; they are there to give hope and help that doesn’t involve the death of that child. I wish they had been standing outside the clinic I entered years ago. My son Luke now rests in the arms of an angel. I hope he rests in mine someday.
