40 Days for LIFE-Spring Campaign DAY 28: 362 Babies Saved and Counting...40 Days for Life has shown that prayer and persistence can end abortion where you live. Be encouraged by Steve Karlen, our North American outreach director!
Here's Steve's account of a couple of recent stops (and one close call) in Michigan and Illinois. ——————————————————- The weather was quite cold and there were still mountains of snow in Michigan's Upper Peninsula. I attended a great event in Marquette hosted by Water's Edge Church, with pastors from three different churches speaking and leading prayer.
Planned Parenthood started doing chemical abortions here recently. But there's a strong Christian presence nearby. Care Clinic, a pro-life pregnancy center, is right next door. Water's Edge Church is right behind Planned Parenthood, and St. Michael Catholic Church is right across the street from Water's Edge. Care Clinic's director said they were able to provide ultrasounds for women who were abortion-minded, and that the prayers of the 40 Days for Life vigil participants were definitely needed. As I left Marquette, I made the mistake of not stopping for gasoline. A couple hours and no gas stations later, I had to call my wife. I was running on empty and the temperature was inching towards zero...and eventually dropped below. Fortunately, she got on the phone and found an open station for me before I got stranded! ——————————————————-
This 40 Days for Life vigil is in a high-visibility location for people driving by. And people riding the commuter train across the street certainly see this prayerful witness every day on their way to and from their jobs. A typical abortion day at this facility once included seven abortions, but the volunteers told me that in recent days that number has dropped to three. Or two. Or even just one. "We have encountered people on the street who do not know that abortions are performed at the Advantage Healthcare Clinic," said Sandy, the local coordinator. "We also had one gentleman congratulate us on the fine job we are doing to educate the public. It was a good day!" Thanks again to Steve Karlen for today's update.

Steve has traveled since Day 1 of this campaign and has shown no sign of wearing down. However, there was one late night when Steve's energy level was up...but his car was running out of gas in zero degree weather.
The leadership team took a leap of faith in bringing 40 Days for Life to Marquette for the first time, but volunteers have seen many blessings – filling vigil hours...and reaching out to people seeking healing from past abortions.
Planes, trains and automobiles! The Wood Dale vigil site is just in the backyard of Chicago's O'Hare airport. Every few minutes, planes descended right overhead. That combined with a very busy street made it difficult to speak at times.
