“I will always be with you. I will never abandon you…be determined and confident…do not be afraid or discouraged, for I the Lord your God, am with you wherever you go.” (Joshua)

 Like the people traveling into the land of Canaan, post abortive people have often been suffering for years. By deciding to attend a Day of Prayer and Healing, they have taken the first step on the journey, one that requires a leap of faith, courage and trust in God.

Through the acceptance of Gods invitation of mercy made manifest to them by knowledge of the Days, the seeds of faith, hope and trust can be planted.

 Faith- by recognizing that by just coming, they have begun the journey. Learning that faith is “believing and trusting even when we do not understand”.  A movement forward in spite of any anxiety or fear.  A presence to God that opens them to His grace.

 Hope – By hearing the testimonies of those whose have gone before them and have reached healing. By beginning to learn of the very real impact abortion has had on their lives and the tools to deal with the impact.  By the reality of healing becoming a possibility for them through Christ.

Love– manifested by the charity made present to them by those who will serve them unconditionally this day, in spite of, and even because of their abortion – that someday they may love others suffering unconditionally. To be themselves in all their humanity be loved as God loves them. The day is a reflection of His love and the love of their children, as well as a validation of their feelings.
