MEMORIAL
Memorial To The Unborn
The Memorial that Mobilizes
40 Days for Life started in Texas and has inspired communities around the world to pray, fast, and end abortion at the local level. The world came knocking. By the grace of God, this effort is not something in the past, but is active around the world where abortions happen every day. This Memorial to the Unborn not only honors those lost at this location, but serves as a call to action that we must be a voice for the voiceless in every community where abortion takes place.
Ebenezer Stone
Ebenezer is only mentioned three times in the Bible. By definition Ebenezer means "stone of help." Israel set up camp beside Ebenezer in preparation for battle against the Philistines. After great defeat, the Ark of the Covenant was taken by the Philistines from Ebenezer to Ashdod.
In 1 Samuel 7:3, Samuel addressed all of Israel and advised them, "if ye do return unto the Lord with all your hearts, then put away strange gods and Ashtaroth from among you, and prepare your hearts unto the Lord, and serve him only: and he will deliver you out of the hand of the Philistines (1 Samuel 7:3).
Israel responded in kind and discontinued the worship of the false gods Baalim and Ashtaroth. A revival of sorts took place, and Israel returned to serve the Lord only. Samuel then gathered all of Israel for prayer, which included both fasting and repentance. When the Philistines neared Israel, a "great thunder" scared and shook up the Philistines (1 Samuel 7:10). This state of dismay allowed Israel to prevail. Samuel memorialized the victory and set a stone between Mizpeh and Shen. 1 Samuel 7:12 tells us he named it Ebenezer, saying,"Thus far the Lord has helped us."
Then Samuel took a stone and set it up between Mizpah and Shen. He named it Ebenezer, saying, "Thus far the LORD has helped us."
1 Samuel 7:12
