A friend, Rich Reich, and I lead a blog called the Living In Faith Exchange (LIFE) Group, and we send out a morning devotion to a distribution of about 100 Catholic and Protestant Christians (http://life-devotions.blogspot.com/). The devotion has a strong ProLife influence, so we have journeyed with you through the 40 Days for Life (shared snippets from some of your updates). Some LIFE group members spent an hour in prayer in front of the Colorado Springs abortion clinic during the evenings of 23 Feb and 16 Mar (see the 25 Feb and 17 Mar LIFE Group blogs). Here are summaries from those ProLife experiences in Colorado Springs. * Sun, 16 Mar: "Yesterday evening, Chad Livingston, Doug Young and I spent an hour of prayer in front of the local abortion clinic. Notice in the attached picture that we carried blessed palm branches for Palm Sunday. We prayed to bring the destruction of abortion into the Light (John 3:19-21) and to welcome those wounded (physically, emotionally, spiritually) with the same love and mercy that God gives us (Matt 18:21-35)." * Sat, 23 Feb: "Tom Albrecht, Chad Livingston, and I prayed with a handful of Christians from 4 to 5 AM (on Sat) in front of the abortion clinic. Snippets from the organizer (Stephanie Kemp): "I showed your sweet 12 wk baby model to quite a few people. In the afternoon we were joined by 9 very prayerful teens going through confirmation prep. I gave your blue wrist bands to a boy and girl who prayed the entire Rosary aloud and witnessed together for 4 hrs. We were joined unexpectedly by 10 college-aged kids from New Life Church who are part of a nationwide group called “Bound for Life.” They stood facing the abortion chamber for over 3 ½ hrs in total silence...with red duct tape over their mouth with the word LIFE [on the tape]. We had a group of charismatic teenagers (15) and adults (5) from Mountain Springs Community Church. They walked around the entire block several times in prayer and spent over a half hour on their knees in the dirt and rocks reading their Bibles and praying out loud. [Had a great turnout] for the morning Rosary and Mass. We recorded over 75 teens and adults going into the abortion chamber (lucrative business)...[counted for] demographics in anticipation of opening a crisis pregnancy center in the immediate area [please pray for this]. At one time we had over 25 people [for the prayer vigil]."" Through Christ for ProLife, Pat Phil 4:13 P.S. I am a PhD chemist, and Rich is working on his chemistry PhD.

Someday I hope I can use my personal testimony to make a difference. Sometimes you just have to 'be there' to understand the gifts of God . My second pregnancy ended at 21 weeks. Rushed to the hospital, emergency c-section. I watched as a crying baby was lifted from my womb, blinking and wiggling. After a bit of growing time she came home, perfectly normal. She has graduated from a Chritian College and has a heart to serve to Lord. People's hearts must be opened to what is actually going on in the womb, and how early Life is perfect and whole. Jesus knows us in the womb, and has a plan for each precious life. God Bless you for your work. I am a new visitor to your website, and this wonderful mission.

I am so thankful for this ministry and the victories of these 40 Days. My life has been changed by this and other pro-life ministries that have reached out to help me find healing. This truly is the work of our Lord and I give Him praise. We must continue to pray for the end of this culture of death. God will bless our efforts, of that I am sure. Hebrews 11:1
