First Story
By Concepción Torres
On Saturday, January 25, I was sidewalk counseling and preaching the Gospel outside of the AWHC abortion facility. I witnessed a mom headed into this abortion place. She and her partner were in the car, but never made it outside the car! This mom rolled down her window and allowed my fellow pro-life advocate Michele Herzog (Central Florida Branch Manager, Pro-Life Action Ministries) to briefly speak to her. This mom didn’t exchange any words, but simply cried! With tears running down her face, she and her partner hit reverse and drove away from the abortion parking lot! Hallelujah! As pro-life advocates and Christ followers we know that being there and being a light in the darkness truly saves lives! We don’t always tangibly see it, but when we do it’s so life-giving to the soul! Prayer works! God’s Word pierces hearts, saves lives!
Second Story
By Michele Herzog
“Would you like to go next door and see a picture of your baby?” These were the words of Kim, one of the sidewalk counselors ministering Friday, January 31, at the AWHC abortuary. You see, she had been reaching out to an abortion-bound woman for quite a long time when she had first arrived. But, like so many others, this woman proceeded to go inside this dark place of death. Kim began praying right away, and thankfully, the young woman came out within 5 minutes, and walked right over to her. Kim looked in her eyes, and said, “Would you like to go next door and see a picture of your baby?” She replied, “Yes”! Kim walked her over to the pregnancy center and this young woman, who had planned to have her baby killed, chose life and protection instead. Thank the Lord that Kim and others were out that almost fateful day to be a voice for that child and others, who have no voice but ours. And of course, thank you, Jesus, for intervening on behalf of this innocent child! GLORY TO THE LAMB! We plan to have lunch with her, and be there for her during her pregnancy and afterwards!
