A unique approach to ending abortion
From September 23 - November 1, our community will be one of many cities joining together for the 40 Days for Life campaign.
40 Days for Life is an intensive effort designed to raise awareness, save lives, bring healing, and lead our nation to repentance for the sin of abortion through three components:
-
40 days of prayer and fasting
-
40 days of peaceful vigil
-
40 days of community outreach
Benefits for your community
By conducting a 40 Days for Life campaign, your city or town could:
- Reduce abortion rates – by 10%… 15%… 20%… Or more!
- Recruit and mobilize hundreds – even thousands – of new people into effective, life-saving efforts
- Lead post-abortive women – and men– into proven and effective healing programs
- Develop dynamic new leaders to increase the future impact of pro-life efforts
- Bring churches together in an historic display of Christian unity and action
- Generate enormous “buzz” by getting prominent pro-life news coverage –even from biased media outlets
- Increase local financial support for pro-life efforts
- Make the sanctity of human life a crucial issue in upcoming local, state and national elections. All of these results have actually been realized in other communities, and– with God’s help – could happen where you live as well.

Being Human:
1. Pray and fast
Christ told us that some demons can only be driven out by prayer and fasting. The two go hand in hand. Prayer keeps us rooted in the fact that it is our desire to carry out God's will. Fasting is a sacrifice that helps us reach beyond our own limitations with God's help. Fasting is not a Christian diet; it is a form of physical prayer. You can fast from food, TV, alcohol ... anything that separates you from God.
Each day between now and the end of the campaign, please commit to pray and fast for the nationwide effort, and for the efforts here in our city.
