40 Days For Life: DAY 34: Mom AND Daughter Choose Life

 

 

We now know of 468 babies spared from abortion since September 22. And new reports come in every day!

Kevin in Merrillville, Indiana spoke with a woman who brought her daughter and her daughter's friend to Planned Parenthood. The mom was pregnant. Her daughter was pregnant. Her daughter's friend was pregnant. All three came seeking information on abortion. "I cannot get an abortion," the woman told Kevin. "I can’t. And my daughter is in there because she is pregnant, too." Kevin spoke with the woman for 20 minutes, providing information on dozens of life-affirming pregnancy resources. 45 minutes after that, the three women turned away from Planned Parenthood without getting abortions--and with big smiles and friendly waves.

Kevin's big day at the 40 Days for Life vigil only got better from there. Later that afternoon, he helped empower a frightened mom to choose life for her TWINS. And not long after that, he was able to save a teenage mom and her baby from abortion. Kevin helped save five moms and six babies in one afternoon! "The sun was shining warmly upon all of us," he said. "It was, indeed, a wonderful day."

Warminster, Pennsylvania About 20 people gathered in prayer in Warminster when a woman leaving Planned Parenthood rolled down her window to talk. She seemed conflicted. The abortion-minded woman was from South America--and quite upset. Fortunately, longtime prayer warrior Pat knew a pro-life doctor from the troubled mom's home country and set her up with an appointment. The expectant mother was able to consult with a doctor in her own language and chose life for her baby!

Peru South American babies are also being saved in South America. Vigil participants in Huancayo, Peru met a mother who was in distress because her family--including the baby's father--was pressuring her to have an abortion. 40 Days for Life campaigns across the country united to pray for her...and the prayers were answered! "The mother now tells us that, thanks to the support she is receiving, she will not abort!" reported 40 Days for Life Director of Latin American Campaigns Lourdes Varela. The campaign team in Trujillo, Peru also supported a woman who chose life in spite of pressure from her boyfriend.

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God. All things were made through Him, and without Him nothing was made that was made. —John 1:1-3 O God, may we always be quick to call You Father. And when we call You Father, let Your Spirit remind us that we, and all people, from their beginning to their last day, are Your children. We praise you, Father, that you sent Your Son to reveal to the world that all people are His brothers and sisters, that all people are Your children. See today's full devotional
