Can this work in my town?

In a word – yes.

40 Days for Life has been successfully conducted in big cities and small towns. Lives have been saved through the faithful efforts of part-time volunteers and full-time pro-lifers. Wounded hearts have been touched by young people and old. Communities have been transformed by individuals with no money and those with financial resources.

All that is required for 40 Days for Life to succeed where you live:

  • Prayer and fasting
  • Faith in God Almighty
  • Focused attention, dedication and perseverance
  • Willingness to make the campaign a priority
  • Sacrifice and hard work
  • A passion to positively impact the world

2013 campaign dates for 40 Days for Life

The dates for the next upcoming internationally coordinated 40 Days for Life campaign are:

  • September 25 – November 3

We recognize that some individuals and towns may have schedule conflicts that make these timeframes difficult, but these dates were selected to accommodate the largest number of communities possible. To maintain the highest quality and integrity for the campaign, 40 Days for Life cannot be conducted outside of these dates at this time.

If you wish to experience the results of 40 Days for Life this year, think about what God can accomplish when your community unites with cities and towns across the United States and around the world for 40 days of prayer and fasting … 40 days of peaceful vigil … and 40 days of community outreach.

What do I do first?

The most important thing anyone can do to ensure the success of this campaign is pray.

 40 Days for Life in Sterling Heights, Michigan

Pray for an hour outside the local abortion facility where your vigil could be held. This will show you the spiritual aspects of this mission, and help bring clarity about what the Lord may be asking of you.

  • Ask God to guide you in determining your role in this effort – as a local leader, participant, or prayer warrior
  • Pray for wisdom – for you and others in your community – as you discern whether 40 Days for Life is right for your city at this time
  • Ask God to guide all local and national leaders of this effort
  • Pray that people of faith and conscience hear about 40 Days for Life and participate as God leads them
  • Ask that our world repents and turns to God, honoring Him by protecting the right to life for all members of our human family
  • Pray for an end to abortion
