Testimony From The Sidewalk

Testimony From The Sidewalk

Dear friends today I had the pleasure to spend some time on the sidewalk in front of the local abortion facility with the LIFE Runners who committed to stand and pray with us.

But they did much more. I worked with many of them to educate and equip them for sidewalk counseling. The results are amazing.

Stephen will tell the rest of the story.

Brian,

Thank you for being out there on the sidewalk. I’m back in my warm office now and I have a couple of minutes to reflect on this morning and I wanted to thank you for the sidewalk counseling training you gave me this morning. That was not what I expected to be doing when I signed up for this. Usually when I go to the clinic I come armed with my rosary and I pray and hold a sign.

Even though my strength does not lie in sidewalk counseling it was still a very valuable experience and one I’m glad I did. I was only able to engage a few people in conversation, but it makes it so much easier to approach this endeavor with love. You can’t really love someone until you know them. Talking to people coming in and out of the clinic, even for just a moment allows you to know them, if only in the minutest way, but it allows you to love them and to bring love into what you are doing on the sidewalk. It opens up a whole new dimension and perspective on what one is doing out there. I recommend everyone try this at least once.

I’ve heard Stephen’s story over and over. Those who come out for the first time almost always have a life changing experience, and even more so if they take the leap of faith to try sidewalk counseling.

If you would like to give it a try please join us tomorrow, next week or during the upcoming 40 Days for Life campaign starting February 22nd.
