Only a handful of people showed up. Despite the small crowd, a TV news station covered the rally, and that night the media mocked the small, seemingly insignifi cant group that stood on the sidewalk, praying for life. "But unbeknownst to anyone involved, there was a young woman that night watching the newscast who was pregnant and was scheduled for an abortion at that abortion center in Fresno the next day," said Bereit. "Because she saw those people peacefully out there with signs and messages o¯ ering free help to those in unexpected pregnancies, she said, 'I'm not going to have that abortion.' "She reached out to those people, and she made the decision for life." Bereit, co-founder and former CEO of 40 Days for Life, has seen count- less blessings come out of the pro-life movement since 40 Days was created in 2004. Along with the deep faith of his family, his pro-life involvement even inspired him to convert to Catholicism earlier this year. "It changes us, it changes hearts and minds, and sometimes, our presence at these kinds of [pro-life] gatherings can literally save lives," he said. Bereit now looks forward to taking on the role of emcee during the Cel- ebrate Life March here in Denver on Jan. 12. Pro-lifers invited to march at capitol Jan. 12 Complete Wash in 10-12 Mins.
