40 Days for Life Fall Campaign - Day 40We know of one young woman who changed her mind and decided not to have an abortion while we were praying outside PP a few weeks ago. We are also hopeful that there’s an employee who may be thinking of leaving. Remember, that’s just what we happen to know of. If you read the stories on DAY 36: https://www.40daysforlife.
THANK YOU for being a part of 40 DFL/Worcester’s Fall 2021 campaign! We started off this campaign with the great news of the birth of a baby girl who was saved during our Spring 2021 campaign; we’ve been following up with mom and baby, and they are doing well.com/en/day-36-came-back-to- you’ll be reminded that our prayers have effects we may not see right away.say-thank-you We appreciate all of you
- who covered a weekly vigil shift
- who put in over 20 hours at vigil
- who came to our vigil for the first time
- who volunteered to fill holes in the schedule
- who covered the first or last time slot of the day
- who stopped by Pleasant Street to pray while out doing an errand
- who are homebound and supported this campaign with your prayers
- who brought a friend or family member to join the vigil for the first time
- who stayed late when the person taking the next shift didn’t make it on time
- who were willing to do an extra vigil shift so another person wouldn’t be alone
Your prayers, joined with those of hundreds of thousands of others around the world, through the grace of God, brought about the many miracles reported in the national team’s daily emails.BETWEEN CAMPAIGNS: While our campaign is officially over, abortions continue year-round at the Worcester PP—about 40 per week. The latest statistics show that 2086 babies were killed at PP in Worcester in 2020. For anyone who’d like to continue praying between campaigns and would like company, you can usually find others praying on Thursday and Friday mornings between 7-9am and on Saturdays between 9-11am. Also consider joining up with a friend to pray once a week or once a month at a time that works for you.Now is a good time to talk with your pastor (or associate pastor or deacon) about 40 DFL and see if he would be willing to lead an hour of prayer on the sidewalk during the Spring 2022 campaign. Pastors’ calendars fill up quickly, so it’s worth putting in the request now.Consider having a showing of Unplanned at your church or school to recruit new participants for the Spring campaign. We have the DVD available to borrow.If you belong to a prayer group, please continue to pray for the closing of the Worcester PP, for an end to abortion in Worcester, and for all of the pregnancy centers in our area.If you know anyone in need of post-abortion healing, please let them know that free help is available by contacting Kathy at Silent No More/Surrendering the Secret (508-397-7280).Julie will once again be organizing Empty Manger Caroling (prayer and song) outside PP during the month of December. We’ll notify you of the details via email.TELE”HEALTH” ABORTIONS NOW IN MA: https://www.plannedparenthood.org/planned-parenthood-massachusetts/campaigns/telemedicine-abortion Add this to your prayer list!KEEP THE FAITH. TRUTH WINS: People can change their minds when they have full information. See Live Action’s new video:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n8eRdFznFlc (note: the second half of the video shows an illustration of how a 2nd trimester abortion is performed; in MA there were 1439 2nd trimester abortions in 2020)The next campaign starts on Wednesday, March 2nd and runs through Sunday, April 10th (Ash Wednesday to Palm Sunday).Hope to see you on the sidewalks!Your 40 DFL/Worcester Leadership Team(Pauline, Julie, Gina, Sandra, and Lee)
