ONE BABY SAVED

Being part of a PRO LIFE Ministry is very exciting! You never know what is going to happen each day when you get up. I did not witness this baby' life being saved, but I am so happy to hear the good news.

All glory to God - another precious baby's life was saved at the abortion facility this past Saturday on February 13, 2016!

One of the pro-life counselors spoke with a young lady and her driver as they were exiting the abortion facility.
The counselor directed them across the street not only to avoid blocking the driveway of the facility but also to avoid the abortion facility-parking attendant who began yelling at them.
The young lady was seeking an abortion because of medical concerns, which she discussed with the counselor.
The counselor addressed those fears and gave her information directing her to the proper medical facilities where caring doctors and nurses could help her and her baby.
The young lady was very much relieved and excited to receive the information. Thanks be to God.

**After Alice Paul, the author of the original Equal Rights Amendment told FFL cofounder Pat Goltz that the early American Feminists were pro-life, FFL historians were the first to research and reveal the truth to the feminist and pro-life movements: Without known exception, our feminist foremothers opposed abortion (and like Susan B. Anthony) sought to address the root causes that drive women to abortion. Learn and share our original research and help FFL herald a better day when we fulfill the unrealized dream of Susan B. Anthony. ** (this quote is from the FFL website)

Our orginal billboard is still spreading the message of

our Lord and Savior.

He is our Creator.

He had us in His care even before we were born.

What a beautiful billboard to show True Love.

I did list the location of this billboard because I am hoping you have seen it and will post the location! Just a cute game to see who has spotted it!!

Please pray that new friends will see the signs and join us on this campaign.

George Barber

When I heard the news on July 25th, that George had passed away, my first thought was, "now he will see all the women and babies he has prayed for all these years and God will say, Welcome home my good and faithful servant."

With Prayer as the focus of the 40 Days for Life ministry, it was a natural fix for George. He would stand every Saturday and pray the Rosary in front of the abortion site. And during our campaigns he could be found praying sometimes day and night. If he ever complained about sitting in the LIFE Mobile during the cold nights or sitting outside in a cheap fold up chair during the hot nights, we never ever heard it! George gave his time freely and without regret. And I believe his prayers along with other men during the night have open doors to the hearts of women. I believe that with the men praying at night more Moms have been saved from the pain of abortion. That more babies were saved from death.
Thank you George for sitting there and praying.

Those who served with George on the 40 Days for Life Board will greatly miss him. His quiet leadership during our meetings was always the balance we seem to need from time to time. The way he always pushed the Board to TRY new things when we were just a little bit scared, only proved to make us a better Board. And who will ever forget his unstoppable attitude!
Always saying WE CAN DO THIS! WE CAN CLOSE DOWN THIS PLACE!

I am going to share just a few of the photos from our campaigns. I hope while viewing them you will look back and remember your own special moments with George. And just maybe renew your commitment to saving lives.

These photos were taken at the Catholic Radio Station on March 10, 2011.

I had contacted them to see if we could share more about 40 Days for Life and the opportunities to help women who are thinking about having an abortion.

When I mention the idea to the Board, George was the first to say "WE CAN DO THIS!"

As you can see Bob was always with George.
Those two men were always laughing about something!
And if you look closely you will see Donna watching them :)

Here is Malcolm getting ready to speak.
To this day he can't believe we talked him into it!

One of our happiest days while serving on the Board.

The Life Mobile
George's old truck found new life one day when it was decided we would need a shelter at night.
This truck has PROVEN to everyone that we are committed to 24 hours
seven days a week for 40 days
to pray in front of the abortion site!

Having a local Priest bless the truck
and all who will be there praying
during the day & night

Shawn Carney, Director of 40 Days for Life,
stopped by during our last campaign to offer words of encouragement.
This photo holds dear memories for all of us.
Bob with his hands resting on his dear friend.
Donna standing with her husband doing God's Work.
Malcolm, Cheryle, and Karen, all long time friends with George.
All three faithful in helping bring this ministry to Charleston.
And of course, there are us newbies.... Christian, Anne, Gene, Sarah and me.
We have learned a lot from these PRO LIFE Leaders, Sidewalk Advocates
and especially our Prayer Warrior George.

Our last Victory Rally with George.

We were giving George a standing ovation. I hope we touched his
heart as much as he did ours.
I love this photo, because it reminds me of how easily
George would raise his hand to help!

God bless you George.
We will miss you.

George devoted his life

to saving babies from death

and Mothers from a life time of regret.

It is our hope that his example

will encourage you to Pray for God's Love

to reach into our hearts

and for us to accept

His guidance in our daily walk.

Pray for all families who have been

harmed by abortion.

Pray for all Moms who have

been hurt by an abortion.

Pray for all Fathers who

regret the lost of their Fatherhood.

No Abortion!

Deer Park Baptist Church has members who are faithful to 40 Days for Life.
They sign up each campaign to do 24 hours at the site.

On their day during this Spring 2014 campaign, a man leaving the abortion site in his car, rolled down his window and said:
NO abortion today!!

What a blessing to hear those words.

Image the excitement the following Sunday at Church as the congregation heard the good news:
She chose LIFE!

Please keep Praying for all the Moms & Dads.
The ones who chose Life and the ones who did not.

Mom says YES... and stands alone

The saddest words I think I have ever heard were spoken to me the other day:
the grandmother does not want the baby.

Two of my friends, Laurie & Melissa were standing in front of the local abortion site, when a young lady "K" approached them. She was fighting desperately to keep her baby. And the person she was fighting against, was her own Mom. The grandmother did not want her to have this baby. And if she did choose to keep her baby --- her Mom would kick her out of the house.

I asked Laurie, what were you able to say to "K" after hearing that!
She said they talked some more and exchanged phone numbers.

Over the past two weeks, Laurie & "K" have been talking on the phone. "K" was kicked out of the house that very day!

She has a place to stay for now, she used her tax returned to buy a second-hand car that will get her to work, and despite how tough these days have been, she is excited to be having her baby.

Laurie & Melissa has been praying for "K" and I believe God is at work in "K" life. Her road looks to be a tough one.

Please keep her in your prayers.
