National Campaign Daily Intention
Pray that when those representing Planned Parenthood and other abortion groups see volunteers for 40 Days for Life, they see ambassadors of Christ, and may each volunteer be consciously aware at all times of Whom we represent.
“I...beseech you to walk worthy of the calling with which you were called, with all lowliness, and gentleness, with longsuffering, bearing with one another in love.”
-- Ephesians 4:1b-2
When Carol Everett, a former abortionist and post-abortive woman, was asked what turned her heart from death to life in Christ, she said, "It was unconditional love," shown by a man who prayed daily for her in front of the abortion clinic where she worked.
He told Carol that "God had sent him" because there was someone in there that God wanted out. She left 27 days later and now serves as Christ's ambassador to help others. We too have been sent by Christ as an ambassador to love unconditionally those God seeks to "get out" of their bondage and sin. What a high calling it is -- much higher than any presidential appointment to another country.
Dear Heavenly Father, we are humbled that you have called us and appointed us to be ambassadors of Christ in a world that is not our home. We pray that your Holy Spirit will empower us to walk worthy of the calling. We pray that Your unconditional love will flow through us onto those who desperately need Your saving grace. In the name of Christ who is worthy, amen.
--Carmen Pate Co-host, "Point of View" Talk Show

Children CAN make a difference too!
Angela in Beaverton, Oregon helped with the numbers at the 40 Days for Life vigil when she went to pray — and brought along her five children.
“My 8-year-old son grabbed a sign almost as big as he, which read COME JOIN US. Just a couple of minutes later,” she said, “a woman stopped her car to ask how she could join and help!” One of the leaders said if he had not taken that particular sign, this woman may have never stopped.
“The smile on his face was priceless,” said Angela. “What joy and satisfaction at having made a difference! We shall be out there again tomorrow!”

40 Days through Scripture
Day 19: Acts 5 - 9
Then God turned and handed them over to worship the host of heaven, as it is written in the book of the prophets:
‘Did you bring me sacrifices and offerings for forty years in the desert, O house of Israel?
No, you took up the tent of Moloch and the star of [your] god Rehan, the images that you made to worship.
So I shall take you into exile beyond Babylon.’
-- Acts 7:42-43
Is abortion like a sacrifice to the god of convenience? What will happen to the nation that serves a false god? Save our nation, join us as we Pray to End Abortion.

Profoundly Misleading to the Point of Mendacity
[National Right to Life Committee – www.nrlc.org]
"This administration promised to be transparent: Instead it is opaque. It promised to heal divisions: Instead it is worsening them. It promised honesty, but its policy arguments are profoundly misleading to the point of mendacity. The only reason he can get away with it is that the media remains immersed in the tank. If that ever changes, Obama could be in deep political trouble." From "Dishonesty Piled Upon Dishonesty by Obama Administration on Stem Cells," found at http://www.wesleyjsmith.com/blog.
We're written several times about Obama's revolting new stem cell policy. It wasn't just that he pitched overboard pro-life President George Bush's carefully nuanced, morally coherent policy on the use of embryonic stem cells (Bush would allow no federal financial incentives to encourage the deaths of human embryos). With a wink and a nod, Obama is signaling the usual set in Congress and the research community that it would be okay to go way beyond the use of so-called "spare embryos," including creating human embryos by the use of cloning.
NRLC's Douglas Johnson explained it well. "Obama's order places our society on a very steep, very slippery slope. Many researchers will not be satisfied to use only so-called surplus embryos. Many researchers are already demanding federal support for research in which human embryos would be created for the specific purpose of research, through human cloning and other methods, and there was nothing in the President's remarks today to limit NIH to the use of so-called surplus embryos created in IVF clinics."

Send a RED Envelope
Red Envelope Day - March 31, 2009
- Get a red envelope. You can buy them at Kinkos, or at party supply stores.
- On the front, address it to:
President Barack Obama
The White House
1600 Pennsylvania Ave NW
Washington , D.C. 20500 - On the back, write the following message.
This envelope represents one child who died because of an abortion.
It is empty because the life that was taken is now unable to be a part of our world. Responsibility Begins at Conception. - Mail the envelopes out March 31st, 2009.
- Don't forget to put your name and address on it or they will just pitch them out!
Encourage others to participate. It would be wonderful if we could send 50 million red envelopes, one for every child who died [only in the U.S.] before having a chance to live…
It may seem that those who believe abortion is wrong are in a minority. It may seem like we have no voice and it's shameful to even bring it up. Let us show our President and the world that the voices of those of us who do not believe abortion is acceptable are not silent and must be heard.
