Have you ever cleaned out a drawer you forgot about, and found something that wasn't important at the time but now makes all the sense in the world to you?
That's what we're trying to do here.
We hand out so much literature on the streets in hopes that we're spreading real information about abortion that people need to know. Many times people open the brochures and stop to talk with us. Some just take the information and walk on by.
Today I was in front of the abortion clinic and was talking with a woman who had a friend inside. I gave her the brochure and talked to her about post-abortive counseling we offer. She was resistant at first, but opened up after she realized I wasn't going to attack her or her friend, but rather wanted to help. She said she had a few of our flyers and always walked by without stopping, but for the first time she would go home and look at them and talk to her friend about the counseling. She also said it would be helpful for her also--her mother had forced her into an abortion at 15.
Sometimes it seems that we make no difference to the droves of people that walk by. I pray that in every soul, a seed is planted and that if it seems we do not make a difference today, then someday. In God's time, not ours.

It might be a bizarre analogy, but in the best marketing models, they teach you to layer your clients. First, I might invite them to an event to introduce them to myself and my business, follow up with a personal note dropped in the mail a few days later, and two weeks later a call may get me a sale. I think we are so overwhelmed with stimuli that it takes some people that long to catch on to what you are really "selling." God bless you for your persistence for the souls of these women and their children.
