February 22, 2010 (LifeSiteNews.com) – Want to get your Monday off to a great start? Then here's a report guaranteed to launch your week in marvelous fashion!
Thus far during this 40 Days for life campaign (which only began last Wednesday), 45 lives have already been saved from abortion!
Here are just a few of those miraculous stories:
Louisville, Kentucky:
On the first day of the 40 Days for Life campaign, three mothers changed their minds!
Tammy in Louisville said the abortion center staffers “were so mad they came out and started yelling at us. We give all the glory to our Lord Jesus Christ.”
One woman had been given a coupon for a free ultrasound at the pro-life pregnancy center across the street. She went inside the abortion facility—but only stayed five minutes before leaving and going to the pro-life center, where she used that coupon.
“She saw the 4-D ultrasound and changed her mind,” Tammy said. “What a blessing!”
Reno, Nevada:
A young woman had scheduled an abortion appointment, fully intending to go through with it. Carol Marie said, “when she heard there were other options available, she took the time to investigate for herself and realized we were correct.”
The woman left the facility and returned later—not for an abortion, but for a refund.
The staff saw her hugging prayer volunteers as she was approaching the door, so they refused to let her in. They made her wait in her car while they processed her refund.
“Praise God that we had the opportunity to be there,” said Carol Marie.
Melbourne, Australia:
“We had a turnaround in Melbourne this morning while we were praying,” said David.
He spoke to a couple who had arrived for an abortion appointment, asking the young woman to think about what abortion will do to her. “Already she has another little boy. She said both were unplanned.”
They took a pamphlet with phone numbers of various support agencies. “Let's continue praying that this young couple have the courage to continue with this pregnancy,” David said.
The Bronx, New York:
“We had our first confirmed turnaround of the Lenten 40 Days for Life,” said Brian.
“The ability to actually see these first results of the effort to save babies is an amazing experience. The real impact, however, is impossible to know. It is a bit overwhelming to think that just one little word or one action, like handing out a flier with information on abortion can have an impact that not only touches the lives of that mother and child, but makes a change that reverberates down the generations.”
Brian added that not only is this work life-changing, but it truly changes all of humanity—”all because of a little bundle of joy that is spared on a cold February morning in the Bronx.”
Amen! Have a great week!
