This week in Cedar Rapids - Peaceful, Prayerful Presence Update

We had another great time for prayer and gathering to witness for life earlier this week.

Although there were some negative comments from passing cars, there were far more positive responses.

At one point two women approached and shared how the younger one's father wanted to abort her. Her mother was strong about it and carried her to term. Her mother has passed away. Her father wanted to abort her brothers also, but her mother carried them to term, too. Then the other one led us in a substantial prayer asking God to show us the fruits of our labor and for an end to abortion. It was really cool.

It was cold, and the wind was blowing. Just before we finished a man came up and gave the five of us still there hot chocolate he bought at Casey's. It was really good. He joined in a prayer with us.

Although cold that day, participants were elated by the positive responses.

May God use our prayer and witness to save lives, and change hearts.

Thanks for participating in this with us.
