Note from a former team member

I went to pray at the clinic at about 4:30 p.m. today. There was a protester with a sign "Pro-Child, Pro-Choice". The protester stood directly in front of the clinic. I took my position west of the protester - closer to the clinic drive. I stood there and prayed, and must admit to feeling slightly discouraged by the drivers who honked and waved in support of the protestor.

I continued to pray. A car pulled into the clinic drive and stopped right at the entrance. A young woman got out and addressed me. She said she wanted to thank us for being there. Four years ago, she came for an abortion and did not go through with it because we were there praying. She pointed to her son in her car. Then she hugged me. Praise God!

We all know that our presence and our prayers and fasting make a difference, yet we don't always see it. Four years ago was the first 40 Days for Life campaign in Grand Rapids - and now we can count one more save that we didn't know about.

And isn't it just like Him to reveal this to me today, when I was feeling discouraged! What an incredible grace! (Or maybe He's just showing off!)

Thank you to all of you who continue in your faithfulness. And a special thanks to the team from 2007 who brought 40 Days to Grand Rapids!
