DAY 32: Training and mobilizing a generation for life!

40 days for life London Autumn 2011

Greetings! Today we have a fascinating boot camp, training our volunteers of how to build a culture of life!  There is great momentum from our campaign to equip, inform, proclaim and invite a new generation for life - to live in a country where no more children die and no more women cry! Please sign up for our vigil to finish our campaign strong! What does it mean to be pro-life?

Day 32 - October 29 Intention: As we pray for the end of abortion, let us pray for the expansion of the pregnancy help center movement worldwide. Scripture: The dragon stood before the woman who was about to give birth, so that when she bore her child he might devour it. She gave birth to a male child, one who is to rule all the nations with a rod of iron, but her child was caught up to God and to his throne. -- Revelation 12:4-5 Reflection: You don't need to be a theological scholar to get the essential point of Revelation 12. Something BIG is afoot. It has something to do with the birth of Christ and the children of God. It involves a war in heaven, with powers and principalities beyond our expertise. But the battles are fought here on earth. The crux of the matter centers around the babe of Bethlehem and the cross of Calvary. It continues to unfold down through the ages, through us, the children of God, who put their faith in Christ and take up their cross and follow him. We are waging a war of love against all things that destroy body and soul. The intensity waxes and wanes, but like labor pains, they grow and culmi-nate in new life. The unleashing of legal abortion nearly 40 years ago stirred up prayer (lamentation really). Many were then led to start pregnancy help centers and maternity homes. Today there are over 3,000 such ministries that did not exist 40 years ago. They reflect a movement of God on our watch: Christians driven to give their time and charity to end abortion one woman at a time. Let's pray this movement expands worldwide. Let's pray for thousands more Christians to start, serve and support pregnancy help centers. Prayer: O God, from generation to generation, you have called your people to be the very aroma of life amidst a culture of death. Now it is our turn. Prepare me. Send me. Use me. I am eager to do my part. Stir your people everywhere to take up this great work. Rev. John Ensor Vice President, Heartbeat International Pro-life Article: Live Action to release Planned Parenthood expose Monday  Pro-life quote: The essential vice, the utmost evil, is pride. Unchastity, anger, greed, drunkenness, and all that, are mere fleabites in comparison. It was through pride that the devil became the devil. Pride leads to every other vice. It is the complete anti-God state of mind. It is pride which has been the chief cause of misery in every nation and every family since the world began. -- C.S. Lewis  Pro-life resource: Threats to life at the earliest stages
