Guardian Angel Sighting

This good news was sent from the executive director of our campaign today:

I have often spoken publicly about how Satan has always hated babies. World and biblical history alike testify to the fact that he has always been attacking the next generation, I think, so that the faith dies with the parents and is not passed along. Today the god is no longer called Baal, but this culture is still sacrificing our children to this god of convenience.

But our God is still mighty to save; just as he rescued Moses from Pharaoh and Jesus from Herod, He is still the defender of the next generation. (In fact, He always identifies Himself as the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob and says that He will be faithful from generation to generation.)

On a smaller but perhaps no less significant scale, God has rescued the next generation today in Grand Rapids.

This morning I received a phone call informing me that 2 students from my church were on their way to the abortion clinic for their 5:00 a.m. prayer and vigil time when they were broad-sided by a semi-truck. Everyone has confessed that they should have been killed or seriously injured, but they were not! Praise God!

These two girls are from families that take seriously the call to pray for the end of abortion. They are pillar families in the church, and their children have caught the faith of their parents. I’m praising God today that they were miraculously spared from injury and death. Their resolve to defend life in this city has been steeled by this experience.

We must remember to pray physical protection over those who are stepping out in faith to participate in the 40 Days campaign.

Thank you for all you do to defend life in this city. And may He continue to watch over each of you and your families, as well.
