"The Pro-life Day of Silent Solidarity was a huge success yesterday with 49 babies saved that we know of and two girls coming to Christ. We know that it is because of all of you and your willingness to allow God to use you that this is possible. While we know about 49 babies saved, I am sure there are many more we don't know about.
"I know that many of you faced persecution for standing up for the babies and God will bless you for your courage. What is important for you to remember is that you were not alone even if you felt like your were. Over 250,000 students were with you around the world in 25 countries taking the same stand Tuesday in solidarity.
"I can tell you that I have spent many hours in tears over the past couple of days. Every time I start reading some of the stories that are coming in, it renews my commitment to this movement. I have always believed and preached that it will be the youth that will change this nation, and the PLDSS has proven that to me again. I don't understand why God has given me the honor to work with some of you; I am tuley blessed. There are no words to describe how proud I am to know such amazing young people who are so committed to Christ and to life.
"I felt the best way to tell you about the day was to allow your words to speak about the event. Here are just a few testimonies I have received from yesterday, and there are hundreds more.
“I attend a Baptist college so I knew I wouldn't get much of a chance to spread the word so after my last class I went down to the mall and was there for about 20 minutes before a group of teenage girls walked up to me and asked what I was doing. I handed them a paper and one started to cry. I took off the tape and asked what was wrong. I found out that 2 of those girls had just set up an appointment for an abortion. We sat and talked for almost an hour; it was clear that God was at work. Not only did these girls cancel the appointment but I had the privilege to lead them to the Lord.”
“I went into my work Tuesday. My boss knew what I was doing and why. When I walked in he explained to a lady in line behind me what I was doing. I had my 4 year old little sister with me. I handed the woman a flier. Yesterday I learned she had passed that flier on to a co-worker. Little did either of us know that co-worker had an appointment for an abortion THAT AFTERNOON!! She canceled her appointment & came into my work Wednesday to talk to me.”
"I'm speechless! I saved a baby today! Without even saying a word! Praise the Lord for His hand is upon us and our harvest shall be bountiful."
“ I was surprised as to how much I prayed; I have never prayed that much in school, ever. There were originally five people doing it this morning and by the end of the day it doubled. I was super happy. You never know how many people are affected by the things you do.”
“There was another woman considering abortion, so again I broke my silence and had a 15 minute tear-session/convo with her and she too opted for adoption! I'm so far beyond ecstatic and I am yet again radically affected by this!”
"Today was great! You could walk down the wall at school and see red tape everywhere. Very few people stayed silent; it is hard not to talk for a day but having tape over your mouth helps. I had so many people come up and ask what the tape was about. I showed them my badge. I cant wait for next year. This day means a lot to me. I got pregnant when I was 15 and people told me I was ruining my life and I should just abort him. I didn't and I couldn't be happier. I've gotten my GED, am in college and have gotten a job offer for when I grad. I'm proof that you can make it no matter your age and I want everyone to know."
"When I got back to class, I stayed silent- lunch was crazy; my white board got a lot of good use. I brought about 15 people who were wondering about what I was doing to one area and told them about it. After a heated debate with a fellow student, about 13 of them changed their views on abortion. Next year I'm going to hold a part-year club and it will be the most successful year of Silent-Day for me and for that school"
"I was brutally picked on today, but I don't care; I'll do it again next year. Children will live and that's what I care about! I broke my silence today for a girl, she not only opted for adoption but talked another girl into opting the same way!"
"Like I said these are just a few of the amazing stories I have received so far and they keep pouring in. You can read more at www.silentday.org."
