A great 40 Days for Life in Waco—two babies saved on last day!

Dedicated Pro-Life Friends,

Thanks to you, Waco has had a terrific 40 Days for Life campaign of prayer, fasting, and community outreach. This has been a life-changing experience for many of us, for moms who turned away from abortion, and for those who wrongly believe that abortion helps women. Also, our wonderful children participating found time to chalk many creative pro-life messages on the sidewalk in front of Planned Parenthood.

Our pro-life movement comes out of 40 Days for Life stronger than ever. 40 Days for Life will happen again in Waco in the spring of 2011. At this time we are pivoting to Project 77, which will focus our public witness at Planned Parenthood on abortion mornings each Thursday. Read more about Project 77 below.

Thanks be to God, two babies targeted for abortion were saved on the last abortion day of 40 Days for Life.

On Thursday March 25, with over 25 pro-life witnesses standing at Planned Parenthood, two moms turned from abortion and lives of regret and remorse.

A car with a young woman scheduled for abortion, driven by a woman who appeared to be her mother, turned into the Planned Parenthood driveway. Disregarding instructions from her Planned Parenthood "benefactors", she stopped in the driveway to talk to us. Soon the car pulled out of the driveway and parked at the side of the street. Three of our groupRusty Thomas, Irma Karl, and Phuong Luu (a Baylorstudent) -- talked extensively to those in the car and in distress. The mom scheduled for abortion was in tears at times. In the end, they drove away.

The other turnaround was a car that entered the Planned Parenthood parking lot. In no more than five or 10 minutes the young couple decided for life for their baby and drove out of Planned Parenthood. In a short period of time there was certainly no possibility of carrying out Planned Parenthood's plan to destroy God's special gift.

We know of three abortion turnarounds during 40 Days for Life in Waco. Surely there were others. Let us continue to pray fervently for all who turned from abortion and all who did not.

While 40 Days for Life is officially over in Waco, our prayer offensive should not end. Of course we can continue to pray at any time. As I mentioned in my last e-mail, Project 77 is now underway. The goal is having at least 77 pro-life witnesses at the Planned Parenthood abortuary each Thursday morning.

We are far from this goal now. Still, with God all things are possible. You could boost Project 77 by coming out to the abortuary (1927 Columbus Avenue) next Thursday between 7 and 9:30 p.m. Bring your spouse, children, parents, and friends. We are using the name Project 77 because the number 7 in the Bible caries the meaning of goodness and perfection.

Psalm 12: 7-9 can serve as our marching orders:

The promises of the LORD are sure, silver refined in a crucible, silver purified seven times. LORD, protect us always; preserve us from this generation. On every side the wicked strut; the shameless are extolled by all.

During the noon hour at Planned Parenthood there is much going and coming at the abortion clinic. If any of you are in a position to pray during the noon hour on any day of the week, please do so. We know that our prayer witness is having an impact on employees inside Planned Parenthood.

Many of you have 40 Days for Life T-shirts. These made strong statements during 40 Days for Life. There is every reason why you should continue to wear your T-shirt in the days and months ahead.

Regarding yard signs, which were so powerful in 40 Days for Life, you may continue to display your yard sign. You may set it aside to display during 40 Days for Life in 2011. Or you may drop it off on the front porch of 705 N. 35th St.

Our prayers during 40 Days for Life were answered in ways we cannot know this side of heaven. Thanks to what you have done there a precious babies smiling and growing within the security of their mothers wombs.

Blessings to all at Holy Week.
