Be vigilant

Today kicks off the annual 40 days for life campaign. I believe that God has a truly amazing plan for every single human life and that that amazing plan begins at conception. At this very moment lives are being ripped away, babies are dying to the hand of abortion. Will you participate this year, in prayer, fasting and peaceful vigil??

40 Days for Life is a focused pro-life campaign with a vision to access God’s power through prayer, fasting, and peaceful vigil to end abortion in America.

The mission of the campaign is to bring together the body of Christ in a spirit of unity during a focused 40 day campaign of prayer, fasting, and peaceful activism, with the purpose of repentance, to seek God’s favor to turn hearts and minds from a culture of death to a culture of life, thus bringing an end to abortion in America.

I remind you, all my prayer-warrior friends and family, to never cease praying. Pray persistently until the very last abortion clinic closes. Pray that these babies will live. The 40 days for life website has put together some really great daily devotions. The devotion for day one is here

The power of prayer should not be underestimated....

Two more abortion centers close their doors;40 Days for Life prepares for record campaign

WASHINGTON, DC – "This Wednesday, people of faith and conscience in 301 cities across seven countries are launching a massive, unified 40 Days for Life campaign of prayer and fasting for an end to abortion that is going to outstrip all our previous efforts,” said Shawn Carney, 40 Days for Life campaign director.

“Tremendous momentum is on our side,” said Carney. “We’ve recently learned of the closure of two more abortion facilities where peaceful 40 Days for Life prayer vigils were conducted in the public right-of-way outside."

Those locations are in Pensacola, Florida and Forest Grove, Oregon. Volunteers in Pensacola report the abortion center was closed and a sheriff’s notice placed on the locked door as the result of court proceedings involving the business. In Forest Grove, volunteers say business signs were removed and the building emptied. Phone calls confirmed the permanent closure of the facility.

In all, 16 abortion centers where peaceful 40 Days for Life prayer vigils have taken place have closed following these campaigns of prayer and fasting. In addition, 53 abortion industry employees have left their jobs at facilities where people prayed for an end to abortion during 40 Days for Life campaigns.
