Waco Action Agenda: Life Chain, 40 Days for Life, Yard Signs

from John Pisciotta, Director
Pro-Life Waco

1. Life Chain Outreach Sunday March 4, from 2-3 PM

 

Our next non-40 Days outreach is sending messages of life and love at the intersection of Valley Mills Drive and Waco Drive. Life Chain Sunday from 2-3 PM is such an enjoyable gathering. The weather should be nice. I'm hoping that we will have at least 20 pro-life foot-soldiers on site. The signs that we hold and place in the ground are important. Even more important is our personal presence as a witness defending babies in the womb and encouraging loving family life. Just come out and look for "Carolyn” the billboard truck parked near Pei Wei restaurant. We are permeating Central Texas with our passion for life. When we show our passion, that moves and inspires others. With you on board, we are growing the movement of hometown foot soldiers for life.

2. As Jesus was going up to Jerusalem

As Jesus was going up to Jerusalem,he took the Twelve disciples aside by themselves,and said to them on the way,"Behold, we are going up to Jerusalem,and the Son of Man will be handed over to the chief priestsand the scribes,and they will condemn him to death,and hand him over to the Gentilesto be mocked and scourged and crucified.

Jesus suffered immensely for you and I. Surely, we should be willing to suffer and sacrifice to defend the little ones he loves so tenderly. Just three weeks of the 40 Days for Life prayer vigil remain. If prayer participation at Planned Parenthood is possible for you, I would be elated to receive a message from you stating the time for one week or all three remaining weeks. If you are already praying, perhaps you can devote one more hour to prayer at Planned Parenthood. I was so encouraged this week to visit with prayer volunteers traveling from Calvert and Copperas Cove—over an hour from Waco. There are some hours when our prayer presence at 700 W. HWY 6 is modest, risking having hours uncovered. These are 11 to 1 on Mondays, 3-5 on Tuesdays, and 9 to noon on Fridays.

3. Yard signs and more yard signs

One of the goals of 40 Days for Life is "Community Outreach." The main way this is accomplished in Waco is with churches and residences displaying 40 Days for Life yard signs to let their neighbors know where they stand. Please pick up a yard sign for yourself or for a friend who will proudly display it. We have 40 Days yard signs in English and in Spanish. You may pick up a sign at the 40 Days for Life prayer vigil, at Life Chain outreach this Sunday, and at my doorstep of 4200 Grim Ave.

4. Abortions return to Waco Wed/Thurs/Fri—March 7/8/9

This is such a difficult message to bring to you. However, a completely comfortable Christianity is not possible for us. The abortionist will fly in from Cambridge, MA. We will have several prayer volunteers from 40 Days for Life on site at Planned Parenthood. The precious little ones and their moms heading in the wrong direction need as many prayerful Christians as possible. Could you come out to stand and pray in the gap? Come with a friend. Come with a family member.

Here are some photos of the 40 Days for Life prayer vigil in recent days.
