?Our kickoff rally was beautiful,? said Tom in Fort Lauderdale, ?with wonderful, life-affirming songs by Rick Orsini, a rousing call to action from Rian Gittman and heartfelt testimony from Tewannah Aman.?

The rally encouraged the Fort Lauderdale volunteers, and people responded by promising to bring friends to the vigil and return for the next rally at the midpoint of the campaign.

?Best of all,? Tom said, ?as we packed up to leave, God brought us a young lady looking for the abortion clinic! She wanted to scout it out for a friend."

Two volunteers soon realized that she was the one with the crisis pregnancy. ?They will be meeting for lunch,? said Tom. ?Praise God!?
