In the time I had been a Christian I had done little for the unborn. Taking part in a prayer rescue was a strong decision for action. But my actions were not heroic. I had acted several years too late. Second, a prayer rescue is an act of intercession.
Rescuers physically place their bodies between the abortionists and their victims.
This is an effective tactic in the natural realm but rescues are also accompanied by spiritual intercession. Hundreds of Christians gather for hours of praise, worship and prayer at the abortion site. This is a powerful weapon against the demonic powers which are behind the abortion holocaust. Third, rescues help to fulfill the great commission. The rescues I have participated in have been powerful testimonies to the gospel of Jesus Christ.
