YOU can help save lives!
The K-W and Cambridge area had a groundbreaking 40 Days For Life campaign in the fall of 2009. Nearly 800 citizens in the area volunteered at least one hour of prayer and fasting in front of the region's abortion facility, petitioning God to end the evil of abortion. We covered all but 4 hours during that 40 day period, with prayer volunteers who stood vigil 24 hours per day, 7 days a week, rain or shine.
Our region's campaign was conducted in unison with approximately 200 other cities across North America plus Ireland and Denmark. We stormed heaven with prayer, so to speak, and the results were amazing. Hundreds of lives were spared from abortion worldwide as a result of that campaign. Since 40 DAYS FOR LIFE began in Texas in 2007 , reports document that 5,928 lives in total that have been spared from abortion — and those are just the ones we know about!
Our next 40 DAYS FOR LIFE campaign will start THIS September 26th - November 4th.
This year our community will be 1 of 314 cities throughout Canada, USA and Europe -- joining together for the largest and longest coordinated pro-life mobilization in history -- the 40 Days for Life campaign.
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 spiritual sacrifice will bring about the the end of abortion in K-W, Cambridge -- and throughout Canada.

Throughout biblical history, God has used a 40 day challenge to transform His people:
Notes: (1) The video mentions America, but is just as applicable to Canada. (2) It references 120 cities involved during last spring's campaign, but will include 243 cities in the spring of 2011.
Take a stand for life: donate prayer hours!
