About 30 people were praying in front of the abortion center when one of the volunteers spoke to a woman who was considering abortion.

The volunteer listened to her story, and then offered to connect her with groups that offer life-affirming resources. The woman admitted that deep down, she knew abortion was wrong. She decided to go to the pregnancy center that was recommended ? and she chose life for her baby.

?At least two more women that day who were possibly abortion-minded went instead to a pregnancy center the following week,? said Heather in Austin. ?Please remember to pray for the organizations with which we partner to build a culture of life!?

Volunteers also reported great conversations with people passing by on foot -- including an employee of a nearby business who asked for pregnancy resources ? and showed a sonogram image of his 17-week unborn baby.
