After praying for an end to abortion with 40 DFL in Ann Arbor, Southfield, and Grand Rapids, I have moved to a city where abortions don't take place: Alpena, MI.
My heart grieves, however, because Planned Parenthood is targeting my hometown of Auburn Hills, MI, where I was born and raised. They intend to build a flagship facility on the border of Pontiac, halfway between the economically depressed African American population in that city and the college coeds at Oakland University. If they succeed, it will be the largest abortion mill in the state.
They are trying to target the two customers they prefer most: minority women and college students. Ask yourself why those two groups would be a crucial demographic for PP?
Monica Miller, of Citizens for a ProLife Society, has led the charge against PP. There is currently a deed restriction in effect that may prevent this facility from being built. But prayer warriors are needed, all over the state of Michigan!
If PP wins, it will affect Grand Rapids and Lansing and all of us. Please pray for Monica Miller and the campaign in Auburn Hills. They have a long road ahead of them, and it will last longer than 40 days.

The results show
Dear Faithful 40 DFL Pray-ers,
Yesterday we concluded our 40 Days for Life campaign.
Thank you to all of you who prayed, fasted and kept vigil during these
days. You provided a powerful witness on the sidewalk and we know we
can claim victory in the name of the Lord!
During this, the fifth and largest 40DFL campaign in Grand Rapids, 36
churches, several Knights of Columbus Councils and various area youth
groups, enlisted 100's of pray-ers to participate. There were babies
saved from abortion (at least 4 that we know of, and probably more),
the clinic was unexpectedly closed on an abortion day, and on a
miraculous morning, an ultrasound tech showed up unexpectedly just
when she was needed - Praise God!
For those who are moved to continue praying, the clinic does abortions
on Wednesdays, Thursdays and Fridays, from 8 am to 1 pm. You are
always welcome to come to the sidewalk during this time - and this
witness offers special encouragement to the sidewalk counselors who
continue onsite every week throughout the year.
Once again, thank you!
God bless you for your commitment to life,
Lisa Peters
Adminstrative Coordinator

Victory day
40 days ago ...
... there were children scheduled to be aborted who
are alive today -- 508 that we know of!
40 days ago ...
... women were making abortion appointments -- but now,
they're preparing their lives to welcome a new baby boy
or baby girl.
40 days ago ...
... cold hearts that were annoyed at your peaceful
presence at the abortion facility are now open to
joining you in prayer.
40 days ago ...
... you may have doubted what God could accomplish; and
yet through your prayer, fasting and vigil ... YOU have
been spiritually blessed.
Babies ... women ... workers ... hearts ... minds --
these are all impacted when we pray and bring light
into the darkness!
Yours, O Lord, is the greatness, and the power, and
the glory, and the victory, and the majesty: for all
that is in heaven and in the earth is Yours.
We pray for your continued guidance and protection
throughout the remainder of this 40 day campaign. May
we be steadfast, unmovable, always abounding in Your
work, knowing that our labor will not be in vain. We
pray in the name of Jesus, Amen.
