Hi Friends, Just because the March in Washington has passed for another year - the Battle still goes on! Yes, it's about to begin -- again!
Next Wednesday, February 17, the 40 Days for Life campaign will kick off in 165 cities across the United States, Canada, Australia and Northern Ireland.
165 cities -- that's the most ever for a spring 40 Days for Life campaign!
I'm more appreciative than ever before of all the sacrifices required to pray outside abortion centers at this time of year in much of North America.It's a challenge, and it's a sacrifice -- but we know that when two or more are gathered together in Christ's name, He is there -- and He hears our prayer. It's worth it!
Just this past fall, many gathered in His name at abortion facilities in 212 communities. We've compiled pictures from many of their 40-day vigils into a short, 7-minute video that will give you an amazing look at the heart of 40 Days for Life -- people gathered peacefully, united in a common purpose, praying for an end to abortion. It's powerful evidence that each of us can take our simple prayers and join something that is much, much larger than any of our individual efforts ...... and a powerful invitation for YOU to get involved ...... to get involved AGAIN if you've participated in the past ... ... to get involved FOR THE VERY FIRST TIME if you've never done anything like this before!
Please click here to see the video: http://40daysforlife.com/blog/?p=574 During five previous 40 Days for Life campaigns, more than 300,000 faithful people in 282 cities participated in 40 days of:
* Prayer and fasting for an end to abortion
* Peaceful vigils outside abortion facilities
* Grassroots community outreach and education
By the grace of God, 40 Days for Life has already helped to save at least 2,168 children from death by abortion, led 28 clinic workers to walk away from the abortion industry, and contributed to the closure of five abortion centers.
And now YOU have a chance to help shape history as part of this 40 Days for Life campaign!
