I just returned from California and am ready to start the new week by sharing great news. So far during this campaign alone, there have been 319 babies saved from abortion – that we know of.
This means that since 40 Days for Life began as a coordinated campaign in 2007, we are now aware of …
… MORE THAN 7 THOUSAND BABIES that God has spared in answer to all of your many hours of prayer.
And this is undeniably God’s work … because sometimes, hearts and minds can be changed without anyone saying a word.

Two prayer volunteers noticed a white SUV in the abortion center’s parking lot. It had decals on the back indicating a mom, a dad and several kids. The out-of-state license suggested these people had come for a late-term abortion.
They noticed a man sitting in the parked SUV, but were never able to get his attention. So they prayed.
After some time, a woman left the building and got into the SUV. As they pulled out of the lot, said one of the vigil participants, “the driver was beaming and so was the woman sitting behind him. They had a baby who looked to be about one sitting in a car seat, which explained why he never left the vehicle. “
The volunteers asked if they’d changed their minds, and they both shouted, “Yes!” and thanked everyone for their prayerful presence outside the abortion facility.

Patti was at the 40 Days for Life vigil on what was sadly a fairly busy morning at the abortion center.
But as the volunteers stood on the sidewalk, “a car turned the corner slowly … a male driver with a young woman next to him, both watching us praying.”
They just pulled over to the curb and stayed there talking for a few minutes. After a while, they started the car, made a U-turn drove away.
“The young woman was crying and hiding her face from us as they drove past,” Patti said, “and we thanked God! A baby was saved due to peaceful prayer and witnessing!”

“I have some of the most amazing news that you will be so happy to hear,” said a grateful volunteer in Cleveland. “I am still shaking and occasionally bursting into tears of joy.”
This woman was holding a sign as she prayed – a sign with the message “Women regret abortion.”
She watched as a car with a young woman and two young men pulled out of the abortion center. One of the men nudged the woman, so she stopped and rolled down the window.
“She told me that she decided not to have an abortion,” the vigil participant said. “The look of pride on her face filled me with such joy. We really are making a difference!”
