Last Sunday, over 50 people gathered to acknowledge that we have passed the mid-point of our 40 Days for Life campaign. We were blessed to have Rev. John Counsell speak and encourage us onward. He spoke about the historical biblical times of Daniel, and how God's people, who were living among a culture which did not honour God, resembles our own, and how God used his faithful followers to work within an alien culture to bringing about positive changes.
Mike Travo, from NET Ministries, led the crowd in a modern version of Amazing Grace. His second song, 10,000 Reasons, appropriately blended in with news from the key organizers of the 40 Days for Life campaign, that over 10,000 babies have been saved from abortion since the beginnings in 2007.
Doris Gagnon gave us an update of her experiences at the site as a sidewalk counselor and she related stories of three different expectant moms. Everyone was moved by Linda Rangango's testimony as she spoke of abortions during her teens. And Deacon Chuck wrapped it up, urging us on to continue to the end.
A collection was taken up to purchase some new French signs and we collected enough money to buy 10 new signs. They are being produced locally and they should be ready soon.
Our closing rally will take place at the vigil site on Sunday November 1st. at 7:00 pm.
Please remember that we still need your prayers and your presence at the Bank Street vigil until the conclusion of the campaign. There are gaps: on Saturday October 24, no one is scheduled for the afternoon and there is no group vigil scheduled on Wednesday October 28.
See you there, Wanda
