I just received news of the death of our young friend Anna. For those of you who had been praying for her, thank you very much. I'm sure she benefited from your prayers. I imagine she is up in heaven looking down on us all now with joy. From what I understand Anna died at 9:36am Friday morning (February 11, 2011) and will be buried this coming Wednesday.
Also today, I got a phone call from one of the national team leaders, Lauren, who will be helping out with campaign strategy for this spring's 40 Days for Life international effort. How wonderful it was to speak with her about previous campaign experiences and some ways to improve our local efforts here in Alexandria, VA! Lauren is a prior leader of one of the largest 40 Days for Life campaigns to date in Dallas, TX, mobilizing around 4,000 people, and she is also an attorney, so she will be a valuable resource to all of us 246 struggling Campaign Coordinators!
Please keep our local campaign efforts in your prayers this weekend as we continue our door-to-door pre-campaign outreach on Saturday, and begin our first parish recruiting efforts at St. Lawrence Church Saturday and Sunday. Help us spread the word to anyone who may be interested in praying with us!
