When we gathered, we began with prayer. I prayed at 3:33 PM because I was thinking of Jeremiah 33:3: "Call to me and I will answer you, and will tell you great and hidden things that you have not known."
I did not share this at the March for Life, but it is a part of the story. On June 1, 2012, I was living in Mainland China, but I was preparing to move to Hong Kong. June 1 is Children's Day in Mainland China.
I wept for hours that day, for the hundreds of millions of preborn Chinese children who have been killed by abortion. And I wept for the silence of most Chinese churches on abortion. I called to God, but I heard nothing.
During this year's March for Life, a Mainland Chinese speaker shared that on June 1, 2012, a nationwide pro-life campaign started. He now leads this very smart and effective ministry that has inspired pro-life education and prayer in many churches.
