ANOTHER abortion center closing
Things have been quite frenzied this week — receiving record numbers of applications for this fall’s 40 Days for Life campaign — but I had to share amazing news that, with God’s grace, could be repeated in YOUR community.
I just received word from our local 40 Days for Life campaign leaders in Fayetteville, Arkansas — and got confirmation from their local media — that their city’s one and only surgical abortion facility is CLOSING!
Praise God!
During three previous 40 Days for Life campaigns in Fayetteville, the abortionist grew more and more aggressive towards the prayer volunteers, taunting and ridiculing them in person — and in the media …
… but they did not react; they persisted in peaceful vigil and remained to pray for the unborn, the women entering the facility — and especially for the abortionist himself.
And NOW … that facility is closing down!
Here are some photos of the Fayetteville 40 Days for Life vigils:
All the glory belongs to God … and please remember to pray for the conversion of the abortionist — and for all women who have been hurt by abortion since that facility opened in Fayetteville.
If you haven’t already, there are only FOUR DAYS left to apply to lead a 40 Days for Life campaign in your city from September 22 to October 31. The application period closes at midnight this Saturday, July 31 … so there’s still time for YOUR city to get involved.
To apply to lead a local campaign, visit:

Imagine what it will be like to pray for an end to abortion in front of the abortion facility in your town … and then receive the wonderful news that it is closing its doors.
How will you feel?
How humbling will it be to see God use the simplicity of prayer, fasting, outreach, and vigil to bring an end to abortion in your area?
In Fayetteville, faithful prayer warriors prayed for a day like today. They were faithful, and that day is now here — the surgical abortion facility in their town is closing.
Maybe YOUR town will be next.
What a reminder of what God can accomplish when we are faithful. I cannot think of a better time to bring 40 Days for Life to your city than a day like today, with amazing news like this.
If you haven’t already applied to lead a campaign in your community, you can do it now at:

The mill may be closed, but the effects will continue. Hand out materials that support Christ’s teaching on sexuality, such as “How to Avoid Falling In Love With a Jerk” by Dr. Jon Von Epp.
July 28th, 2010 at 7:35 pm
Let us all pray for an end to abortion.
July 28th, 2010 at 7:51 pm
I read these blogs and I just want to cry because this is such good news. Praise GOD.
July 28th, 2010 at 8:02 pm
Let us also remember the fathers and grandparents who have been hurt by abortion. Praise God for the closing of the abortion facility in Fayetteville.

Knowing that Fayetteville, Arkansas had three previous 40 Days for Life campaigns gives all of us great hope that through persevering prayer many more Women’s Centers can be shut down. We thank the Lord for this special grace.
Prayer warriors in Fayetteville, please pray for the closing of The Women’s Center in Nashville, TN!

We are planning our second 40Days Campaign and have maintained 10 months of prayer vigil and sidewalk counseling since the Planned Parenthood clinic began performing abortions. We, too, have experienced increased aggression from the staff and volunteers. I pray we may experience something similar to the wonderful folks at Fayettville. God Bless.

wow, this is a whooge answer to prayer, very exciting! thank you shawn for informing us!
July 28th, 2010 at 9:18 pm
One unborn child at a time, one woman at a time, one facility at a time! Fantastic news!
July 28th, 2010 at 9:27 pm
Praise God from Whom all blessings flow! And may many babies and their moms, dads, and family members live to praise His glorious name! All thanks go to God the Father, Son Jesus, and Holy Spirit for motivating the people of Fayetteville to stand against spirit of death in this community. What an example for the rest of us!
Thank you, also, David and family, and Shawn and family. Look what the Lord has done through you!

Praise God! I remember seeing the news stories where he claimed that the 40 Days for Life campaign was “helping” his business. I think not!
Abortion is not quite ended in Fayetteville, yet, however. Planned Parenthood is offering the dangerous abortion pill at their facility on 125 E Township Street: http://www.plannedparenthood.org/health-center/centerDetails.asp?f=2972
Praying they close soon, too!
July 28th, 2010 at 9:36 pm
Praise the Lord Jesus for such good news! Hopefully this is just the beginning and we will all see many more “women centers” close during this fall campaign!
July 28th, 2010 at 9:48 pm
Yes, Praise the Lord!!
July 28th, 2010 at 9:51 pm
Sr. Louis, MO is saving babies, several a week, because the prayer warriors are out in front of the site praying for staff and babies and moms. We have our own website, awesome!
July 28th, 2010 at 10:12 pm
I sure hope there is a Pregnancy Care Center in Fayetteville, AR that can help all those in need! I just love ours here in Canby, OR!
July 29th, 2010 at 12:46 am
This is so the best of news. My prayers for ending abortion will continue. Pray Australia will have orayer vigils also.
July 29th, 2010 at 1:43 am
Really, profoundly happy for the folks in Fayetterville! God honored your perserverance, your peacefulness, your gentleness.
The saints in Sacramento could use a victory. Please, everyone, pray for a closing of an abortion clinic in this city! We, once again, will be sponsoring a 40 Days for Life in our city. We would like to be the next “Fayetteville”.

THANK YOU JESUS! OUR GOD IS AN AWESOME GOD!

Save the Babies!
July 29th, 2010 at 5:29 am
Dear Friends in Christ,
let us never falter in our prayers, sacrifices and actions until ALL abortion sites are closed. Our foes are fighting a losing battle. They rely on money
(our tax dollars) and on lies. We rely on one thing only- God, who provides
all we need to succeed. Let us put on the armor of God our King and rescue our tiny brothers and sisters.
July 29th, 2010 at 5:49 am
You all are such beautiful people. May our Lord always bless your hearts!
July 29th, 2010 at 12:24 pm
Praise be to God who heard your prayers. Your faithfulness has been rewarded. I share in your joy and know the awesome feeling of seeing an abortion clinic close in your local area. The Raleigh area witnessed an abortion closing last month and we’re still enjoying the fruits of our labor.

HALLELUJAH TO THE LAMB OF GOD WHO takes away the sins of the world!!!
I happen to remember this place of death when David Bereit sent out an e-mail on February 26th of 2010 and below are the quotes from the abortionist himself! I find it marvelous that when the children of God pray in unity The Father moves mightily, let all HIS people say: AMEN! But let us not forget Dr. Harrison’s salvation and those like him, I pray in Jesus’ name, Amen.
What does Harrison think of 40 Days for Life? “I think
it’s silly,” he told the reporter. “Standing across the
street and praying to end abortion — that doesn’t work.”
He “thanked” vigil participants for pointing out his
location, because he doesn’t advertise and claims that
people praying outside will help newcomers find him.
He also advised local 40 Days for Life coordinators to
look more serious and to bring a priest with them.
Harrison said with a laugh, “You know, if they’re going
to be praying and fasting, they ought to take this
job seriously.”

Without prayers and fasting we can’t achieve anything. We need to educate children and teenagers about the sacredness of life. Abortionists like PP want to turn children against their parents. We also need to enroll more youth groups in the pro life movement, so they are the ones who will comfront the “new generation of recruiters from PP”
July 30th, 2010 at 8:40 am
Thank God.
One clinic at a time. 40 DAYS is really starting to show its fruits. Thank God for Abby Johnston also. Such a mighty witness. Will keep praying for all the abortion providers. Please Pray for Ireland also. Our Nation is under major attack. While the rest of the world is turning green, the pressure is on to turn Ireland red.
Thankyou

This is such fantastic news. There’s always hope, and if we keep on praying, abortion will soon end.
