?We had two babies saved at Planned Parenthood in Richmond,? said Ann, the local coordinator.

?A lady gave me a thumbs-up as she pulled into the Planned Parenthood parking lot,? said one of the volunteers.

?She turned around in their lot and came to me with her window down,? he said. ?She said our prayers saved her grandchild ? her daughter decided to not abort. She was very emotional with happy tears. Glory be to God!?

Ann said the vigil is continuing to attract more people. One morning, four men showed up to pray ? men the ?regulars? didn?t recognize. ?At least two of them were pastors,? they said. ?They prayed without stopping for the whole hour ? powerful prayer.?

One prayed, ?I had no idea it was like this. I'm sorry Lord, forgive me - I didn't know.?

?It was such a blessing,? Ann said. ?I am so grateful to God. I?m happy to see us finishing strong!?
