Spring 2008 campaign
The first simultaneous national 40 Days for Life campaign of 2008 brought many blessings, including an invitation to the White House as President Bush welcomed Pope Benedict XVI to the United States.
It was an electric, historical morning on the White House lawn. Here’s a brief

Wrapping up the Spring campaign
We stand
completely in awe of all that God has done through the Spring 2008 40 Days for Life outreach. A number of
local campaign leaders are sharing their enthusiasm about the many victories reported during 40 Days for Life.
Listen to their stories — in their own voices — in these two audio clips:
Our continued
prayer intention is: Pray that the witness of 40 Days for
Life bears abundant fruit, and that we begin again each day to storm the gates of hell until God welcomes
us into the gates of heaven.
Thank you!
