Day 40: The Last Day of Our Campaign!

We've reached the last day together, and I thought I would say . . .
. . . Thank you for all your support!
I'm hoping to see you this afternoon at our Victory Celebration (see details below), but if you have a previous engagement, or if you're stuck at home, here is your official thank-you note just the same!

Some of you prayed, others kept vigil as well, and a few handed out flyers throughout the city. You are our mainstay, and you made it happen! I think we made a great team, and I enjoyed meeting and working with every one of you in support of life.

On behalf of the whole leadership team, and all the men, women, and children whose lives you have touched, I am deeply grateful for all your help.

A big thank-you to the financial donors, who paid for the signs, bags, flyers, victory dinner, prayer books and prayer cards that gave us the "stuff" to accompany our witness!

I also thank every member of the leadership team, who donated their time and talents to assist with planning and running events, church networking, door-to-door outreach, vigil coordination and scheduling, materials preparation, budget planning, reporting and writing, blog management, media coordination, phone calling, emailing, and general assistance.

Sincere thanks to the clergy, who opened their doors to our efforts, and allowed us to speak to their congregations regarding our work for Life!

Finally, let's offer thanks to Almighty God for all the blessings He has wrought during these past forty days, whether they be babies saved, hearts touched, or personal blessings and fulfillment. For truly He is the Savior and Lord of Life! We may not have kept our commitments or witnessed as we should, but the Lord can supply for our weakness, and we can trust that He'll show us the wonders of His love in time. Let's ask him for perseverance and courage in the pro-life movement, for blessings on all our local leaders and prayer volunteers, and for life and resurrection at so many places of death.

The final report will come later but for now, let's rejoice and celebrate the conclusion of a truly exciting campaign!

Looking ahead, now that our campaign has reached the finish line, we are still needed at the front lines of the pro-life movement. By the front lines I mean the sidewalk! The next abortion day at our vigil location is this coming Tuesday, and Mary Ellen is organizing the continuing vigil (contact her if you are able to participate).

We will send you just one more email for our Spring 2011 campaign, to inform you of the final counts and statistics as they become available. With that our spring 40 Days for Life campaign will be completed, and it's "Adios!" until the fall!
