Hempstead, New York

While New York is a tough place to be pro-life these days, there are several 40 Days for Life campaigns--just on Long Island alone!

The Hempstead leadership team reported that prayer warriors redirected TEN Planned Parenthood clients to the local pregnancy help center in a four-day stretch!

The women received pregnancy tests, baby items, and ultrasound imaging--all for free!

Glenwood Springs, Colorado

Why does the abortion no-show rate go as high as 75% when you pray in front of an abortion facility?

Because love speaks volumes.

"This picture of Maria and Gustavo tugged at my heart," said Michael, the campaign leader in Glenwood Springs. "During multiple appearances on the sidewalk, they humbly pray, sing, and otherwise express their support for life."

Behold, children are a heritage from the Lord, the fruit of the womb is a reward. Like arrows in the hand of a warrior, so are the children of one’s youth. Happy is the man who has his quiver full of them; they shall not be ashamed, but shall speak with their enemies in the gate.

--Psalm 127:3-5

Heavenly Father, please keep me from taking for granted the gift of children. Help us to remember this heritage that you have given us. Make us faithful stewards of these precious lives, that each generation might be raised in the nurture and admonition of the Lord.
