After this the Lord appointed seventy others, and sent them on ahead of him, two by two, into every town and place where he himself was about to come. And he said to them, “The harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few; pray therefore the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into his harvest.
- Luke 10:1-2
There are only two abortion facilities in central Ohio.
Planned Parenthood is open 40 hours per week. Your Choice Healthcare is open 30 hours per week. 70 hours in total.
If Christians were to go in pairs for two-hour prayer and counseling shifts weekly, it would take a total of 35 shifts and 70 people (70 Disciples) to cover both abortion facilities.
There are nearly 300,000 Catholics in our diocese, yet there are hours and hours when not even one person is praying outside the places in our city where innocent children are being murdered, and where souls are being lost. Not one Christian is there to love the “least of these” and work for the salvation of lost and hurting mothers, fathers, and other participants in abortion.
We only need 14 more people to partner and commit themselves to work regularly to rescue children from abortion. Catholics for Life covers 39 hours and two other ministries and individuals cover 19 hours.
What could be more important to add to your schedule than protecting a child who could be lost?
Will you answer the call and dedicate two hours each week to saving lives and souls?
Below are the shifts we need to be filled. If you can only go for one hour, once per month, or any amount of time or frequency, we need you! If you cannot find a partner to go with you during a shift, we can help. Our team can provide you a training beforehand and could meet you for your first time on the sidewalk. We will provide you with signs and literature as well.
Also, if you would simply like to come out to pray or observe what a shift would be like sometime that we or others are there, please reach out to us.
UPDATE: PLANNED PARENTHOOD HAS CONSISTENTLY STARTED OPENING ON SATURDAYS. WE URGENTLY NEED PEOPLE TO COMMIT TO THIS DAY, ESPECIALLY IN THE AFTERNOON. SEE BELOW.
