HOME: Welcome to 40 Days for Life

Sign up now to participate
in our local 40 Days for
Life vigil!


YOU can help save lives!

From September 22 - October 31, our community will be one of many joining together for a faith-filled, groundbreaking, coordinated pro-life mobilization -- 40 Days for Life.

40 Days for Life is a focused pro-life effort that consists of:

  • 40 days of prayer and fasting
  • 40 days of peaceful vigil
  • 40 days of community outreach

We are praying that, with God's help, this groundbreaking effort will mark the beginning of the end of abortion in our city -- and throughout America.

What: Take a stand for life

We are in need of 1,000+ volunteers to staff our 40 Days for Life campaign here in Alexandria! Would you consider donating just one hour of your time to stand up for the defenseless unborn who are being brutally murdered every day?

Also, please help us spread the word about this effort to your local friends! We are in need of financial donations to cover supplies and expenses to reach out to every household in the city of Alexandria about the reality of abortion and positive alternatives for women. We are also in need of reporters, video/photographers, outreach walkers, prayer teams, event planners, and information/systems handlers.

Please consider shining the light of life in a culture of death by contributing to this effort!

Get involved today!...
