📣40 Days for Life- Spring 2026 Feel good story! 📣

On a cold and rainy morning when Planned Parenthood was closed, Brent was praying on the sidewalk. Feeling discouraged and alone, he wondered, "Is this really doing good? Do I even need to be here?"

His friend Vinny showed up to pray with him. A few minutes later, a man pulled up into the parking lot and approached them.
"A doctor told my mom to abort me, saying at birth I would be physically deformed and blind. Here I am- perfectly healthy. I have 3 beautiful daughters!"
Tearing up, the man continued, "Thank you so much for being here. You're making a difference!"

A little bit later, another man walked up with hot dogs in his hands. "I thought you guys might by hungry . Thank you for doing what you're doing!"

Eventhough Brent's faith felt dry amidst the cold and rain, God showed him that his prayers matter.
As abortion numbers rise, its easy to feel like our prayers aren't being answered. Its easy to become complacent in this battle. If abortion is illegal here, the fight is won, right? Since abortion is legal in other states, we should focus our efforts there, right?

No. The battle isn't over. Abortion activists are constantly working behind the scenes to amend Arkansas laws.

Don't stop praying!
Pray that abortion remains illegal in Arkansas.
Pray that abortion becomes unthinkable and unimaginable.
Pray that the Lord protects the most innocent among us.

Don't become complacent. If your faith feels dry, ask God to show you the fruits of your works.
