40 Days for Life San Diego

Helper's of God's Precious Infants helped 6 women this past weekend at Family Planning Associates
on Mirimar Rd. to realize they have choices concerning their pregnancy.

Thanks to Helpers of God's Precious Infants, Dr. Delgado, and his team at Culture of Life Family Services,
COLFS, and all who pray for life, women are being counseled, given Sonograms, exploring
the available options so they can make an informed decision in San Diego. All who have taken this step
have been so very thankful for the loving care they have been given, and most choose life for
themselves and their child.

Texas Law now requires a Sonogram be given at least 48 hours prior to a women consenting
to an abortion. Praise be to God, and let us continue to pray that this law be enacted in
every state. Click here to read entire article: http://usnews.msnbc.msn.com/_news/2012/02/08/10355099-texas-begins-enforcing-strict-anti-abortion-sonogram-law Planned Parenthood in this article is not happy with
this decision due to lost revenue of some 75,000 abortions they preformed in this state alone last year.

40 Days for Life begins this coming February 22, Ash Wednesday, with Candlelight Vigils
being held in 3 locations on February 21, evening at 6:30 PM. Come pray with us, be present
for those who think they have no where to turn. To learn more go to: http://www.40daysforlife.com/sandiego/

We have just finished the page checks for the April edition. It also finishes nights of little sleep.
We are very pleased with this edition. There is so much happening in San Diego.
Our coverage on The Economy: Crisis or Opportunity really leads us to ask another question ~ Whose economy is it? Man's or God's. The stories, the guest comments and the Q & A will lead you to answer that question for yourself.
There is wonderful solid Christ-centered entertainment coming to San Diego. We have Natalie Grant and Spirit West Coast. Plus, there are special Easter services and National Day of Prayer services to be a part of as we desire to be in fellowship with our brothers and sisters in Christ.
CityFest will launch its Season of Service Campaign on April 24th with Sleepless San Diego. Join us as we sleep under the stars!
