Assurance for Life of Lexington, KY, gives abortion-minded clients a "love basket," full of goodies that represent promises of God. A pen is inscribed with a verse about how God has a woman's name written on His hand. A hair wrap represents how every hair on her head is accounted for by God. A flashlight is a reminder that Jesus is the Light of the world. A relaxation CD assures her that she can come to Him for rest when she's weary.
One young woman had accepted a Gospel tract, saying, "I probably won't read it." But when the counselor gave her a basket and pointed out the significance of some of the items, she said, "Nobody has ever given me anything like this." Then she allowed the counselor to pray for her. Afterwards, she tearfully hugged the counselor and told her no one had ever prayed for her like that. The basket had melted her heart.
