The Cause Joins with Operation Rescue in Wichita while on "Real Summer of Love" Tour

The following email (testimony) is from Chuck Mervin, Director, TheCause http://www.thecauseusa.com


"We spent several days in Nashville (after THE CALL) worshipping and praying and
preparing for the road. Due to delays, we were forced to skip the
Mound City KS and head straight for Wichita, KS where we joined
with local pro-life groups in a Silent Siege wearing LIFE tape
outside the abortion clinic owned by the infamous abortionist,
George Tiller.

"Several reporters covered the story. Charisma magazine's
newsletter had this to say:

"More than 1,000 people surrounded an abortion clinic in Wichita,
Kan
., last weekend to pray that abortion is outlawed and that the
late-term abortion charges filed against the clinic's owner, George
Tiller, would be upheld. The Wichita Awakening, held July 14-16 as
part of The Cause USA's "Summer of Love Tour," included prayer
vigils, speakers, and praise and worship concerts outside Tiller's
clinic, Women's Health Care Services.


"Some of the attendees wore red tape over their mouths with the word
"life" written across it, while others lay on the sidewalk in the
fetal position draped with a long blood-red cloth to protest the
murder of millions of babies.

"Norma McCorvey, the former "Roe" of Roe v. Wade who eventually
abandoned her pro-abortion stance, spoke at the event encouraging

the mostly young attendees to continue to fight for the lives of
the unborn in their generation.
"Troy Newman, president of Operation
Rescue, the Christian pro-life group that hosted the prayer rally,
said the event's large turnout could be attributed to the
"collective shock and concern" across the U.S. over recent news of
Tiller's potentially criminal late-term abortion practices.

"He also noted an increasing enthusiasm among the younger, emerging
generation to support the cause of life.
"We are excited to see the
fruit that will come from the seeds of prayer that were planted
[here] in Wichita."

"Tiller is one of a few U.S. physicians who still perform abortions
after the baby is able to survive outside the womb. He was brought
up on charges on June 26 for violating Kansas' law against
late-term abortion procedures, the Associated Press reported. Last
year, the former Kansas attorney general filed 30 charges against
Tiller that were all eventually dropped.

"One of the main mandates of TheCause is to stand in prayer and
activism for Life and we were honored to stand shoulder to shoulder
in Wichita with many veterans in this long battle to end abortion.

"If you would like to help us continue to be a rallying point for
young pro-life activists and intercessors and to affect society
with a pro-life cultural shift, please consider making a generous
