We are a month into the 40 Days for Life campaign and something is starting to resonate. The abortion center workers realize that you're not going away.
At first, abortion workers view the prayer vigil volunteers as a little weird and dismiss your presence with a rolling of the eyes or a little mockery.
After a week or two, they see you as a nuisance or simply religious.
But after a month, that view changes ... as they begin to see you as dedicated. By now there has been rain, sleet, snow or perhaps all three at your vigil site. They can?t ignore you.
Many of the workers begin to see that you may really be there for the reason you say you are: love.
That?s when the Holy Spirit can get His foot in the door. Most of the 107 abortion workers who have had a change of heart and quit their jobs during 40 Days for Life have done so in the last two weeks of a campaign.
Yes, in the beginning they can't stand you. But by the end, some will rethink ? perhaps for the first time ? the work that they are part of. As we enter the final two weeks of the campaign, now is the time to pray that more abortion workers follow that same path.
