YOU DID IT + Thanksgiving gift
Before I share a very special gift with you for Thanksgiving, I had to let you know that …
… YOU DID IT!!
On the “Believe” teleconference and webcast a couple of weeks ago, we announced that a group of incredibly generous donors made a matching challenge that would double all gifts made to 40 Days for Life within one week of the call — up to $85,000.
We had hoped to double that $85,000, but instead you SHATTERED that match!
The grand total after the match came to …
… $213,035!!
Clearly God wants this work to expand over the coming months and well into 2010!
We are now rapidly moving forward with plans for the spring 40 Days for Life campaign — stay tuned over the coming weeks for details about the application period — and the new “Ending Abortion” initiative that will educate, equip, and empower pro-lifers around the globe.
(If you didn’t have a chance to contribute last week but still wish to make a gift to 40 Days for Life, in Thanksgiving for how God has blessed this effort, visit: http://www.40daysforlife.com/donate.cfm)
Here’s my solemn promise: every penny that has been given to 40 Days for Life will be used in the most effective and efficient way possible to save the maximum number of innocent lives from abortion.
Now, for my Thanksgiving gift to YOU …
Last Friday, November 20, I traveled to Kalispell, Montana, for the celebration event as the local Planned Parenthood abortion center went out of business following a 40 Days for Life campaign outside its doors.
It was AMAZING.
Fortunately, everything was filmed. Here’s a short 9-minute clip of the highlights:
This inspirational video will give you one more reason to give thanks during this Thanksgiving weekend!
Have a blessed Thanksgiving, and know that my family and I count you among our many blessings!
In Christ,

December 2, 2009….I went to the Garden of Hope which is across the street from the Tulsa abortion clinic. I was there outside of the car 5 minutes(cold outside) and spent the rest of the time in the car praying. There were 3 potential abortions to take place. Ususally, the person to get the procedure wears loose clothes and carries a bag. The first one never came out while I was there. I assume she went through with the abortion. The second could not bring herself to go in. She went to the wrong property twice and finally got to the clinic and changed her mind. The third situation..she actually went in the clinic with her loose fitting clothes and bag. 2-3 minutes later-OUT SHE CAME and drove off. It was quite cold and I was alone(except for Jesus). Here is a sample of the prayer. The same spirit that brought Christ from the dead…LIVES IN ME, the same spirit that caused Lazarus to be raised from the dead LIVES IN ME..Jesus would you please strike love into these women’s heart as fast as lightning. You get all the glory and credit please just act quickly and I ask you in your name. Jesus. Within two seconds of this prayer…Two of the three left without abortions. The first woman was in there about 10 minutes. I left and it is possible the power of the true living God struck her before being seeing the abortionist. I just don’t know. I know we were successful with 2 of 3. Maybe 3 of 3. Praise God.
