Many vehicles went by and I made eye contact with as many as possible. I wanted each person to know that this is personal and I invited each person to think about the babies that have been and will be aborted. Many nodded, some blew their horns, a few made ugly, negative non verbal gestures; however, most of those who looked my way seemed to be sensitive to the fact that we were standing up for children. We never know if we have touched another person who will change her mind or help another change her mind. We are all planting seeds and watering those seeds. God will convict their hearts. God bless you all for your effforts to protect the sanctity of life. ABORTION TAKES - ADOPTION SAVES A LIFE... ADOPTION OPTION!!!

Little did I know that the daily devotionals and prayers at the end of the emails would address my own personal relationship with Christ. After a couple of days of hardship, through the prayer on this devo, I was reconciled with Christ. THANK YOU.

I am with the Chester County Pro-Life Coalition for 40 Days for Life Campaign and we pray in West Chester, Pa at the Planned Parenthood on Wayne Street. It is going very well so far. Chris Lane who has a Banner of Our Lady of Guadalupe suggested we come every Monday night from 7:30 to 8:30 PM during 40 Days here in West Chester which is the Eve of the day they do the abortions. So, tonight there were four of us with candles lit in front of Our Lady's Banner to pray for the mothers who will be coming there on Tuesday that they will have a change of heart and give their baby life and that they would be spared from the Culture of Death. We hope to increase our numbers as each week goes by. It was a great night with just a lite sprinkle and a few hecklers, but not enough to disrupt our focus on prayer. Thanks for all you do and God's Blessing on you and your families! David and Shawn!

You would have heard our 40 Days for Life witness outside the house of death in East Melbourne, Victoria, Australia was under way early Wednesday 26 Sept. I was able to join a dedicated lady just after starting time of 7.30 outside the abortion clinic to kick the day off. It wasn't long before the numbers increased to a small group. The aggressive security guard threw some "f...." words at me as he asked: "Who's the new boy.....? I just smiled at him and said nothing. Next time I'll be more alert to utter a spontaneous prayer for him in my heart. May Our Eternal, Loving Creator bless and reward you for your deep and persevering defence of unborn human lives.

Actually, my intention for all OUR babies, particularly the unborn & their mothers is an ongoing intention. Although I miss participating in group prayers outside the abortion mill, my spirit is always with the participants safety from all enemies visible and invisible. I am still on the road to recovery from medical illness, but, the unborn & their families are always, always in my prayers. God bless you, Shawn and every members of the 40 Days for Life. I check out the schedules, now and then. I started a “Divine Infant of Jesus Novena” prayer for 40 days for life and for religious freedom.

There are still some who are just starting to learn about what it is all about that we have to be at the front of the abortion clinic and pray. When the list of names was completed for the days we promised to be there, I thanked the Holy Spirit for His guidance. God works in mysterious ways...and we just have to keep on trusting Him. We pray for the babies and their families for the coming days.

I am temporarily living in a small town and will be leaving next week to an even smaller town, where I will be entering a Religious Order. I have been praying for both of you and your families for God's Blessings for your dedication and commitment to saving the lives of our unborn children. God is smiling on the both of you. On behalf of all these children you have saved, I thank you for your love and for saying "yes" to God's purpose in your lives. I will continue to uphold this campaign and all the people involved in prayer during my upcoming journey. Swedini Dear Sean & David:

I think it is because I chose by the grace of God to go even deeper, to participate through a concerted effort in prayer and fasting, more and more every campaign. Thank you Jesus. Today is the Life Chain, a gift to the participants and organizers as much as it is to the onlookers. May we please be fruitful for Your Kingdom Lord.
