Fifth Child reported saved!

One of our prayer volunteers wrote:

“On Wednesdays at Planned Parenthood, abortions happen. Planned Parenthood instructs the women to avoid the front entrance, come in through the back garage, and take the elevator up to the third floor, which Planned Parenthood is on. Because it was Wednesday we felt called to go back to the garage and stand on each side of the entrance on the public sidewalk. We loaded up the box of materials, took some Life Choice Cards and some magazines explaining abortion and headed back there. We were both praying, and a woman walks up to us. She said, ‘You know… you guys are making a difference. I work on the __th floor, and I saw you guys out here. I was scheduled to have an abortion Friday. I am seven weeks pregnant. I didn’t have the abortion. You are making a difference.’ We were so happy to hear this. Another child reported saved! 

 

It was early in the morning, and so people were still coming into work. The man who had been on News Channel 3 so excitedly claiming the ‘picket-ers’ were causing ‘streaming amounts of money to come in’ pulled into the garage. We knew his face from the news. As he pulled in he gave us a terrible look, shook his head, and sighed. He is losing business, and he obviously despises us being there. You’d think with ‘streaming amounts of money pouring in due to our presence’ he would be ecstatic to see us there. It obviously was not so. It is so wonderful that children are being saved and Planned Parenthood is losing business. Abortion hurts women. Abortion kills children. May God bring an end to abortion and Planned Parenthood’s presence in Memphis.”

Thank you Lord for this precious life, and may you bless this mother and always provide for her and the child's needs. In your goodness, we know you will. 

Fourth Child Saved

We just received an email from a Memphis Side Walk counselor who has been standing vigil in the 40 Days for Life constant vigil at Planned Parenthood that read as follows: 

“I have some exciting news. D.F., who works at fed-ex had a lady come up to her who said, ‘You know I was thinking about getting an abortion, and I saw the people on the street in front of Planned Parenthood. They looked so nice and kind. I could not go in to get the abortion.’ She met with D.F., who is also another side-walk counselor, who showed her what an abortion was. She did not get an abortion.” 

At the same time, the side-walk counselor wrote,

“Abortions are down at the other clinics also that D.F. is counseling at. The other day at Bellevue she said only two cars were in the parking lot. When I drove by there on Wednesday, it was the same way.”

How amazing! The power of God! The power of prayer and fasting! This just goes to show that lives are being affected and possible children are being saved we do not know about. How wonderful! We will know in Heaven how many children were saved because we sacrificed those hours during our week to go down there and be a presence for them and pray for them. May the Lord use those who have responded to His call to stand vigil in many more life-saving ways. We thank you Lord for your mercy. Thank you Lord for this precious life reported saved. 

Our presence making a difference

One of our prayer volunteers reported this story:

Last Friday a woman approached me and asked "do you think that God will hold me accountable?" I asked her "for what?" She told me that she had scheduled her daughter for an abortion for the following Tuesday. I responded, "before the Throne of God?" she looked startled at that... we spoke for awhile about how the child was all there, intelligence, personality, she just hadn't seen the child yet, that her daughter would only carry the baby nine months but they would regret an abortion for the rest of their lives. In the end I gave her some info to help her and her daughter. She looked greatly relieved and smiled, I really think she was not going to have her daughter go through with the abortion. I am hoping that it was a successful turn away. I promised that we would pray for "Pam".

We may never know the full results of our prayers, but sometimes we see a glimpse. Keep praying!

Lily saved one year ago

This woman came by today and talked to our prayer vigil participants. The baby's name is Lily. She was saved from Planned Parenthood about a year ago. The mom came to have an abortion, and people were in front of the clinic and talked with her. Her words today were:

I was inside, I was on the table, the man had the needle and I said, "Stop, I cannot do this."

Who knows what we may discover one year, two years or 10 years from now. Our decision to stand and pray may have results that we may be hidden now, but later will be revealed.

Today, this woman came for birth control, and Planned Parenthood would not let her in with the Baby.
