ABORTION - 40 days prayer/fasting: 10 Oct - 18 Nov

            BIG AIM:  100 cities/towns in NZ

I have a map of NZ and a list of 100 cities/towns.

I believe God is looking for those who will stand in the gap during our 40 days prayer/fasting

        for their city, their town, 

        for the citizens, for the unborn,

        for those who have been involved in abortion and who are hurting and grieving, for healing and for change.
 

(Ezek 22:30 "I looked for a man among them who would ...... stand before me in the gap on behalf of the land........")

Stand in the gap as an individual, a couple, a prayer group, a congregation.........

Please prayfully consider this.

Next email letter I will invite you to respond and 'sign up' your name beside the name

of your city, town, little settlement, island, farming district.............

You might like to stand in the gap for your iwi, hapu, marae;

your Pacific Islanders living in NZ;

your fellow Asian students.

LET'S SATURATE OUR NATION WITH PRAYER IN AN ORGANISED WAY.

The pro-life groups in NZ are really excited about these 40 days. 

Some of their members have been carrying the baton for years.

Let's pray for them and ask God to BLESS them RICHLY.

PLEASE PRAY:

 IS THE CHURCH READY TO MINISTER TO THOSE WHO HAVE BEEN INVOLVED IN ABORTION???

                        THIS IS A REAL CONCERN I HAVE.

I ANTICIPATE THAT, AS WE PRAY DURING THE 40 DAYS, THERE WILL BE AN UNCOVERING OF PAIN  AND GRIEF.

  

• PLEASE PRAY THAT CHURCHES WILL PREPARE PRAYER TEAMS TO MINISTER HEALING AND DELIVERANCE TO BOTH MEN AND WOMEN.
  

"As a scientist, I know, not believe; know that human life begins at conception."

In a short, but riveting interview with Dr. Bernard Nathanson, Citizen Link documents his journey from abortionist and co-founder of the

National Abortion Rights Action League (NARAL), to pro-life speaker—upon his startling realization that life in the womb really does begin at conception.

Below are a couple excerpts, to read the entire CL interview, follow the source link provided.

How did you go from director of the largest abortion clinic to a leading advocate for life?

In 1973, we began to move to new technology, principally ultrasound, which was revolutionary in our understanding

the human fetus and when life begins. As a result of that technology, and others such as electronic fetal-heart monitoring,

I began a long, slow process of changing my mind on the subject of inhumanity of the fetus and the ability of our society

to protect that humanity. In 1979, I published a book called Aborting America. From there on, I became a regular participant

in speaking to pro-life groups around the world, particularly governmental organizations such as the French senate, the Canadian and English parliaments.

Tell us about your documentary, The Silent Scream.

In 1984, I became curious about what actually happens during an abortion. So, I prevailed upon a friend of mine who worked at an abortion clinic to put on

the abdomen of the women an ultrasound apparatus to give us an ongoing, filmed presentation of what happened during an abortion.

That film—The Silent Scream—was viewed more widely than any documentary in history. It is said that President Reagan, when he saw it, cried.
