John,

Abortion-minded women aren't the only Planned Parenthood clients turning away from doing business with abortion facilities.

Women and men seeking other services at abortion providers are responding to your prayers and witness by going elsewhere for care.

Marlene in Concord, California, met a young woman heading into Planned Parenthood for a pregnancy test--but Marlene was able to redirect her away from the abortion giant.

It turns out the woman is NOT pregnant. But in avoiding Planned Parenthood, she avoided paying the abortion facility for the test...

...and stopped Planned Parenthood from bringing in a new client that it would hope to keep for a long time.

"I told her that no matter what, she has found a new family here," Marlene wrote. "She was so moved that she said she wanted to come and pray with us."

Another client insisted she was patronizing Planned Parenthood for non-abortion services, but Marlene encouraged her vigil participants not to be deceived.

"Don't get fooled," she said. "The services...at Planned Parenthood are stained with the blood of the innocents."

The weekend is a great time to help defund Planned Parenthood--right from the sidewalk. Sign up to pray at:

Marietta, Georgia

Rachel and Suzanne in Marietta confirmed four saved babies at their 40 Days for Life 365 vigil in between campaigns...but none so far this campaign.

However, that doesn't mean their prayers and presence aren't taking a toll on Planned Parenthood!

"So far FIVE redirects away from Planned Parenthood to either the health department or First Care Women's Clinic for non-abortion services," Rachel wrote to her team. "Your presence is being used to educate the community, redirect clients so as not to line the pockets of the abortion industry, and one day will close the PP!!!"

Richmond, Virginia

40 Days for Life campaign strategist Barbara Constable was praying at her local 40 Days for Life vigil when a young couple stopped to talk on their way into Planned Parenthood.

The two insisted they weren't coming for an abortion...but Barbara offered them information "in case you know anyone who is."

"They perked up at that and wanted to talk more," Barbara said. Barbara set the couple up with an appointment at a nearby pregnancy center, where the woman's pregnancy test came back negative.

"She texted that they had a really positive experience at the pregnancy center and were very thankful for our intervention and prayers," Barbara relayed. "Even though it wasn't a 'save,' it was SO nice to send them somewhere other than Planned Parenthood!"

And Jesus went with them, but when he was only a short distance from the house, the centurion sent friends to tell him, "Lord, do not trouble yourself, for I am not worthy to have you enter under my roof. Therefore, I did not consider myself worthy to come to you; but say the word and let my servant be healed."

--Luke 7:6-7

Dear Lord, I surrender my fear to your loving care. Give mothers and fathers the courage to invite you into their lives in good times and bad, and grant them the faith to place their children in your hands. Lead them to doctors who will give their children the very best chance to live. Amen.

For life,
