THANK YOU! THE BLESSINGS OF 40 DAYS FOR LIFE MEMPHIS FALL 2009 CAMPAIGN!

It has been a tough last 40 Days in Memphis. We have been praying, fasting, and standing vigil for these last 40 days and believers standing outside 1407 Union have endured drenching rain, small hail, biting cold, and winds that have blown signs, umbrellas, and chairs away. Name calling, rude gestures, and even a pro-choice protester accompanied us as we stood daily at Planned Parenthood praying for an end to abortion and being a presence for the women and babies being targeted by abortion inside.

However, when we hear the blessings of this campaign, no one can attest to it not being all worth it!

• 3 women told us they were choosing life instead of death for their baby after God convicted them, through our presence.
• 1 woman who we did not know about told us that she had seen "us" out here at one of the last campaigns and had chosen to not abort her baby and showed us a picture of her 5 month old.
• Many men and women have been directed to post-abortive recovery
• Over 400 people have now gotten involved and stood, at least one hour, in front of Planned Parenthood in prayer with 40 Days
• We have stood 497 hours in prayer this campaign outside Planned Parenthood
• 2/3 of those standing vigil said this was the first time they had ever acted on their pro-life beliefs
• We were featured in two prominent media outlets
• Over 200 people gathered together for the 40 Day rallies
• 13 people are now seeking to become sidewalk counselors
• PLANNED PARENTHOOD IS MOVING after being entrenched in 1407 for the last 30 years!

There are so many "little" blessings that, being on the campaign planning committee, we have seen personally regarding finances, vigil hours being filled, and planning details.

Everything that happens is a "God-thing" and is constantly giving testimony of this being the work of God.

Thank you for responding to the call to come out and stand for the unborn! All of this "us" reported in the blessings is actually you! You stood there in prayer. You were that prayerful presence, and while many children were unfortunately and very tragically aborted these last 40 Days, not one of them went unloved. We were always there when that clinic was operating. May God reward you for all you do to seek to protect the innocent. May God have mercy on our city and bring an end to abortion.
