John,

Happy Monday! It's time to update the number of moms and babies saved from abortion in response to your prayers.

Today, we know of 103 babies spared from abortion since March 2!

Two dynamic Brians--Rev. Brian Walker and Brian Gibson--lead the 40 Days for Life vigil in front of Planned Parenthood's abortion mega-center in the Twin Cities.

"This is the highest volume Planned Parenthood abortion facility in the nation, reporting 7,490 abortions in 2020," Brian Gibson said.

Thankfully, Brian and Brian are up for the task; they run one of the world's most effective sidewalk counseling operations. (Brian Walker provided his expert insights on our Sidewalk Outreach training course.)

"A pregnant mom stopped in the driveway...and spoke with a sidewalk counselor," Brian Gibson reported. "In the process of discussing her situation, Planned Parenthood’s security official began to yell at the woman to either drive in or leave."

Thanks be to God, she chose the latter option!

"The mom told our sidewalk counselor that she was just going home," Brian Gibson said. "When asked, she said that she indeed was keeping her baby."

Bad customer service means good news for a mom and baby spared the trauma of abortion!

Winston Salem, North Carolina

Sometimes, all it takes to save a baby is a good sign.

A mom in Winston Salem came to Planned Parenthood for an abortion...accompanied by her children.

The presence of the abortion client's kids proved to be a literal lifesaver. One of those children saw a vigil participant's sign and read it aloud: "Take my hand, not my life."

The words saved that child's sibling from abortion by touching the woman's heart and convincing her to choose life!

Tunja, Colombia

A woman left the Profamilia abortion facility scared, confused, and anxious. She was pregnant--and considering abortion.

But then she saw 40 Days for Life participants praying for her, approached them, and was immediately set up with an appointment with a pro-life OB-GYN. She chose life!

"The woman is eight weeks pregnant," said 40 Days for Life Director of Latin American Campaigns Lourdes Varela. "And volunteers will continue to accompany her through her pregnancy."

A father of the fatherless, a defender of widows, is God in His holy habitation.

—Psalm 68:5

Heavenly Father, we thank you for caring about each of us so deeply. Help us to see and know you as our Father in Heaven each and every day of our lives. Your loving hand also rests on every child today carried in its mother’s womb. May they be born into this world and come to know fully and personally your endless love.
