For You From The Word
Make the most of every opportunity. (Ephesians 5:16, NIV)
For You To Think About
Richelle Scott says that an ultrasound on a pro-life bus saved her son’s life.
“As soon as I saw him on the ultrasound and they let me hear the heart, I started crying,” says Richelle. “That was it.”
Richelle is referring to Houston (TX)’s Coalition for Life’s mobile pregnancy care center, in the form of a bus, which sits from sits across the street from an abortion facility.
Texas’ 24-hour-waiting period means women visit the abortion facility and must return a day or more later. Sidewalk counselors offer women the option of visiting the bus before terminating their pregnancies. The bus is outfitted to provide free pregnancy tests, ultrasounds, and counseling for pregnant women.
The pro-life bus’s strategic location makes the most of the opportunity to reach pregnant women – and it saves lives. To date more than 7,000 women have entered the bus. Nine out of ten have chosen life.
For You To Pray
Gracious Father,
Thank you for the many ways you save babies’ lives. Open the door for more mobile pregnancy centers to be strategically located where pregnant women will find them. Use pro-life buses to help women choose life.
In Jesus’ name, Amen.
