Some of us had been to the Kickoff the night before;
others had been to a Hike for Life meeting to finalize details for this
weekend. And at least one Knight plans
to be at the vigil for all twelve hours today.
The Kickoff Rally was one of the best we’ve ever
had. Shawn Carney, a founder of 40 Days
for Life, was the speaker, sharing amazing stories of God’s grace. He told of one vigil that, year after year
for ten years, had not seen one baby saved.
How trusting these people have been, that God wants them to persevere
and that He can use for good whatever they give Him.
This last campaign, a woman showed up with her six-year
old daughter. She wanted the volunteers
to know that when she was pregnant, she had come to abort this child, but she
had left because she saw them praying for her.
For six years, a little girl has been alive because of their sacrifice
and Christ’s mercy.
Our host was Chris Wheel from The TurnAround
Agenda, who welcomed us and prayed with us for life. He prayed about the need for all of us to
stand together -- for everyone to be a
part of the “us-ness,” a Texas word!, as we work and pray for life.
May God greatly bless this 40 Days for Life vigil and
bless all His people who have answered His call!
