40 Days for Life national director
brings pro-life message to Peoria
Peoria,IL – David Bereit, the national campaign director of 40 Days for Life, will bring the message of this groundbreaking pro-life effort to Peoria on March 6. Bereit will be speaking at A Vigil for Life, which is set for 11a.m. at 7405 N. University. “We are tremendously pleased that David will have the opportunity to meet with the leaders of our pro-life community,” said Karen Guth, spokesperson for the local 40 Days for Life campaign in Peoria. “He’s an energetic, enthusiastic speaker and we know he will be an inspiration to the people involved in our event.”
Peoria is one of the more than 50 communities in 29 states conducting simultaneous 40 Days for Life campaigns from February 6 through March 16. For specific prayer times, please contact Karen Guth at 453-7493 or godshelperkaren@insightbb.com.
40 Days for Life is an intensive pro-life campaign that focuses on 40 days of prayer and fasting, 40 days of peaceful vigil at abortion facilities. The 40-day time frame is drawn from examples throughout Biblical history where God brought about world-changing transformation in 40-day periods.
David Bereit became an outspoken pro-life advocate after Planned Parenthood announced plans to build an abortion clinic in his Texas town in 1998. He helped to start and build a local grassroots coalition that rallied 60 churches and thousands of people together and dramatically reduced abortions in the region. Planned Parenthood recognized the effectiveness of David's efforts when it labeled his town "the most anti-choice place in the nation." David led the first-ever 40 Days for Life campaign in College Station, Texas, and helped coordinate simultaneous 40 Days for Life campaigns in more than 80 communities coast to coast in the fall of 2007.
