40 Days for Life - BRYAN / COLLEGE STATION, TEXAS
The pictures show children praying outside Planned Parenthood. Ordinary pictures, perhaps, said Karen in Bryan. "But what is extraordinary if the beautiful witness of faithfulness and passion these families
share in their commitment to life. They are the reason we are able to continue this mission, and we are so grateful for all that they do!"

One of the 40 Days for Life volunteers was able to talk to a high school girl -- let's call her Sarah -- who was entering Planned Parenthood.
She was not there for an abortion, but to pick up birth control pills.
The volunteer struck up a conversation with Sarah, who was curious about why there were people praying.
Sarah took an information package that explains why Planned Parenthood is not the benevolent organization it pretends to be.
"I think God was using this young woman to show me that the women who enter these clinics, for whatever reason, sometimes just need a friendly wave and someone to listen to them or let them know that they are loved," said the volunteer.
The conversation showed her that the women who patronize these abortion clinics are people -- just like we are.
"I think it is easy to forget that as we fight this battle each day. Although we most likely will not change every person’s mind," she said, "we can always show them great love in the short interactions
we are given."
