Approximately a week ago the storage bin containing the signs, sign up sheets, information on help for pregnant women etc went missing. Today I received this update from Wanda
Since the theft of our 40 Days for Life storage bin
we’ve managed to bounce back. Some extra signs were located and, for the time
being, we’re using a large plastic blue bag with a minimal number of supplies:
signs, sign-in book, Statement of Peace forms, and information about the 40
Days for Life and places where help is available for those dealing with
abortions.
The supplies should be at the vigil site (Queen and
Bank streets) and we’ll continue on, as usual. Police responded to my report,
unfortunately there are no cameras on the Queen street side of the CIBC bank,
so we don’t know who took our bin.
On the weekend, at the site, we were joined by a young
man in town, from Texas, to attend his sister’s wedding. He looked up our
location on line and came to pray with us for an hour. He was telling us that
in his home town in Texas, he had also prayed at the Planned Parenthood
facility with the 40 Days for Life vigilers and the abortuary did
eventually close. The prayers of the 40 Days for Life participants worked. Take
heart, it will work for us too.
What a wonderful Thanksgiving gift! Leif, from Texas,
came to tell us that God hears and answers our prayers.
Please continue to come out and pray. We are resilient
and we will bounce back from this small setback.
Yours for Life,
Wanda
