More Good News

Our local campaign is gaining momentum. More and more individuals and churches are finding out about the campaign and are excited about joining. We started out with many hours not filled, yet we keep getting reports of people just stopping by, and being joined by others. One dear lady has started her own blog to give an account from her perspective. Please visit Schola's blog.

Sign ups are increasing and we hope that soon, we can have a continual 24 hour vigil for the remainder of the 40 days (34 left), without having to set up and take down our supplies.

Also, here's a story about the launch of our local campaign.

I came a half hour late today, and there were three others praying, then the shift changed slightly and the 11:00 shift came. There were a total of 5 of us from 11 to 12.

There was a small amount of traffic entering the clinic. We are amazed by how many young women entering the clinic tell us, "I totally support what you guys are doing, I'm against abortion too."

We met one today who was quick to tell us that she wasn't going for an abortion, but was just getting a pregnancy test. We asked her if we could give her some information, and she said yes. We gave her a card for Pregnancy Resource Center and one of our volunteers called them up for her on her cell phone, and made an appointment right there. She thanked us and told us that she had been feeling really nervous about even coming to Planned Parenthood, since they do abortions, but she doesn't have insurance, and can't afford a doctor. She was glad to learn that there is help for her, and if she is pregnant, help for her baby before and after pregnancy. We offered to pray for her right there, and she gladly said yes. She thanked us again and got into her car and left.
