Wichita, KS – There will be a series of prayer and memorial events held in Wichita, Kansas, on Friday and Saturday, June 19-20, to pray for healing and an end to abortion-related violence. Pro-life groups sponsoring this event, known as “A Time for Healing…A Time for Life” are Operation Rescue, the Washington DC based Christian Defense Coalition, and Living Word Outreach of Wichita.
Rev. Patrick Mahoney of the Christian Defense Coalition, who helped lead the 1991 “Summer of Mercy” protests in Wichita, will head the events, which include a Friday evening prayer vigil, a Saturday walk across Wichita down Kellogg Ave. to pray for peace and healing, and a memorial service at Tiller’s former abortion clinic where hundreds of flowers will be placed to honor the pre-born babies who died there.
