A 40 Days for Life campaign can indeed be a vehicle of forgiveness and healing.

Vigil participants in Cardiff say a man showed up to say he was sorry ? for being one of the protesters who harassed prayer volunteers at an earlier vigil a couple of years ago.

He said he now realizes he?d been wrong ? and is now trying to find his way to God.

The man said three of his children have been aborted, and his aggressive behavior was a reaction to the hurt he felt over those abortions.

He has since returned to the vigil site ? stopping to speak to the current group of pro-abortion protesters. He is still in close contact with one of the women who comes to protest and shout abuse at the prayer volunteers, but was trying to dissuade her from coming.

?This is a conversion story and an answer to prayer,? said one of the Cardiff volunteers. ?We have directed him towards post-abortion counselling services. May God bless him and give him the courage to persevere down this road.?
