A young woman, arriving by bus, stopped to talk to one of the 40 Days for Life prayer volunteers.

She had seen someone outside the abortion center with a sign advertising free pregnancy tests and ultrasounds.

The vigil participant told her those services were available at the pregnancy help center nearby ? and he even offered to drive her there! The counselors at the center gave her the information she really needed.

?It was a beautiful thing,? one of the volunteers said. ?I cried all the way home. One just never knows what can happen if you stand on the sidewalk and pray!?
