The day before this fall's 40 Days for Life campaign began, the local team in Orange County, California received some great news.
Nathan had just been born -- at a very healthy nine pounds!
At once point, however, Nathan's life had definitely been at risk. Thankfully, he was one of the babies whose mom chose life during the spring 40 Days for Life campaign.
"Please tell all those people thank you," said Nathan's mother. "Thank you for being there praying for people that you do not know. You made a huge difference in my life and in my baby's life. I cannot thank you enough for what you did."
The Orange County team also got to meet a different baby named Jack. He had been scheduled to be aborted ... TWICE!
But his mother chose life.
Jack's adoptive mom brought him with her when she went to pray at the 40 Days for Life vigil.
We rejoice for all the lives saved ...
... 299!
Yes, 299 children have been spared from abortion during the fall 40 Days for Life campaign thus far, thanks to your prayers, fasting, standing vigil, and the grace of Almighty God!
That's also 299 mothers who have been spared a life of regrets following an abortion decision.
Praise God!
The 40 Days for Life team in Manassas, Virginia sees the value of having a pro-life resource center very close to the abortion facility. Ken said a 19-year-old girl arrived at with her mother, fully intent on making an appointment for an abortion.
"They did an ultrasound and found she was 26 weeks pregnant," he said. "This abortion facility only does first-trimester abortions, so they sent her away."
The girl and her mother were directed to the pro-life pregnancy center, where the counselors told her about all the resources that were available.
"The wonderful counselors helped her decide to have her baby," said Ken. "Another life saved! The prayers of our 40 Days for Life participants were powerful."
