"Your Baby has a Heartbeat!"

First thing this morning, a young woman named Sandra came into the center wanting an abortion. She already has one child, her boyfriend has two with another woman, neither have steady employment, and she is trying to finish school. It seemed to her that her only option was abortion. At that point, another counselor came into the room and said to Sandra "Do you know that your baby has a heartbeat?" Sandra stared in disbelief and then started to cry, saying over and over again "I don't want to kill my baby!"

Her boyfriend then came into the room and they both viewed the video on abortion procedures. By the end, they were both crying! Sandra then got on the phone with her mother to tell her that she is expecting her second grandchild due in January! Her boyfriend also called his mother, who knew about the pregnancy and that they were considering abortion, who said "I have been praying all day that someone would talk some sense into you!" Turns out the boyfriend is post abortive, and still suffering from the loss of his child. He took information on the days of healing for men and said that he would definitely go. All in all, the power of prayer and of God's love and healing was very strong today!!
