Mid-Point Rally full of Passion!

The 40 Days for Life Mid-Point Rally was a wonderful success! While our crowd was some what smaller then usual, those who attended made up for numbers by their love and passion for the unborn - which rivaled a crowd of 300 easily! Twenty-eight people attended the simple, yet powerful two hour event on Sunday, March 15th at Catholic Charities Gymnasium on Jefferson.

It was a blessing to be together to celebrate life and hear the inspiring stories of how the campaign has touched the lives of those involved and how our prayerful presence has touched the lives of many Memphians.

The afternoon event began with an opening prayer from Kent Pruett, President of Tennessee Citizens Concerned for Life. Testimonies were shared and we joined together in songs of praise before we set out on our walk to Planned Parenthood. We received honks and waves as we made our way toward the abortion facility where 50 children are weekly murdered. As we came upon 1407 Union, Planned Parenthood, we united with our prayer volunteers who were there praying while the rest of us were attending the rally! It was a great moment. We circled the building as the Children of Israel had circled Jericho, praying in faith that the abortion industry too would crumble to the ground. Young people present led us in song and prayer. It was touching.

It truly was a fantastic event! May God use the next half of the campaign for His greater glory as we pray for an end to abortion!
