Last week at the ND Right to Life Convention we heard from David Bereit founder of 40 Days for Life. He was realistic and encouraging. He told about the amazing way in which God worked to found that organization and just how much promise there is for North Dakotans to end abortion in this state...perhaps even be the first state in the nation to do so! Please continue to pray for the end of abortion, that the hearts of those participating would be changed, and sign up at www.40daysforlifend.com to participate on site.

A letter from John Trandem:

"I am so excited to see all of our flags displayed Downtown Fargo nearly 100 strong! We started out with a goal of 50 flags, which soon became 70, and after doing a physical count of the mounts on the poles downtown, has now grown to 100! Broadway will be rife with white and blue flags, proclaiming our message to all!

My plan is to put the flags up this coming Sunday, October 24th. I have about 6 volunteers already, but could use 6 or so more. It wouldn't hurt if you could also bring an aluminum step-ladder 8 to 10 feet tall. We have two, but it would go much more quickly with additional ladders. We will be walking the sidewalk with them, so lighter is better! Other items which could come in handy would be wagons (to carry the flags). I am hoping to have 4 crews who could start on 4th Ave N and work the two sides of the street, two going North and two going South. If we have ample volunteers, we should be able to wrap the job up in a couple hours.

We will also need to gather the following Sunday to take the flags down, as part of the agreement with the DCP was to not abuse the opportunity by leaving the flags up past the week agreed upon.

If you can help, please message me back so I can put you on the list!

We will meet at the old depot parking lot (east side of Bdwy on 4th Ave N) just before noon on Sunday. Please include your cell phone numbers so I can call you that day if needed.

Mine is: 701-729-6839

One more detail! We are still a little bit short on donations, (about $200). So if you haven't donated and would like to, or know anyone who would like to buy a flag in honor of a child, grandchild, family member, or friend, every penny counts! Individual flags are $18, and we hope to use them every year from here on out!

Thank you for all your prayers and support!

Blessings, John Trandem"
