Weekly Update – Week Two

Baby Saved By Former Abortion Minded Woman

Right at the beginning of this present spring/Lenten 40 Days for Life campaign, this story of God’s perfect timing was relayed by one of our faithful Sidewalk Advocates.

“Two and a half years ago, a young woman decided to turn away from Planned Parenthood and keep her baby. I’ve kept in touch with her. Her little one, Eve, is absolutely precious. They live north of Indy. She texted last week and asked if I still did sidewalk advocacy because she would like to join. I told her we would be there on Wednesday. Miracle of miracles…God’s timing and all of his divine Providence…our friend arrived when we were talking to an abortion-minded woman at the gate. She (the woman who had kept her baby) came up and gave a personal testimony. ‘I was right where you were 2-1/2 years ago. Here’s my little one and I can’t imagine life without her…’ The 21-year-old woman going into Planned Parenthood ended up turning away! God’s ways are mind blowing!!!”

Praise God!

So have you signed up to cover open vigil hours yet? Go to www.40daysforlife.com/cincinnati and register if you have not already (you don’t have to re-register each campaign) and check the schedule to see where you are most needed. If you are new to public prayer, sign up when you see a number “1” on an hour when you can come to pray so you know that you will not be on the sidewalk alone.

If you need help in signing up, download “ Volunteer Website Tutorial” from the RESOURCES list on the right of our webpage, or contact me. – We need all of you.
