We are here to help

Some of the signs 

we use when trying to start a conversation 

with the women going in for an abortion.

                              

Revitalized with Pink & Blue

Would you spend a few hours praying for 40 days?

Would you pray inside a small house on the back of a blue truck? 

Would you pray under a pink roof? 

Would you pray sitting on pink steps? 

YOU CAN!

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!"

George recording 

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.

Weekly routines?

Does your weekly routine include 

a PRO-LIFE ministry?

I happened to be a woman who lives by a steady and happy routine.   

Monday... Do laundry 

Tuesday.... Wild Wings for supper

Wednesday.... run errands

Thursday ... pray for families being tore apart by abortion

Friday... morning time praying at the abortion site

                and evening “date night” with hubby

Saturday... abortion site praying & sidewalk couseling

Sunday... Mass

Having a routine helps me to feel productive. But it is my involvement in the PRO LIFE movement that helps me feel complete.

40 Days for LIFE will be back 

September 25^th  -- November 3^rd 

Join us as we pray in front of the 

Charleston Women’s Medical Center 

the corner of Fussler & Hwy 61 in West Ashley.

Please pray about adding this ministry to your weekly routine.

May God bless you 

and 

keep you in His loving care.

Standing up for LIFE!
