HOME: Welcome to 40 Days for Life

YOU can help save lives!

From February 17 - March 28, Spokane will be one of hundreds of cities across America and around the world joining together for the most dynamic coordinated pro-life mobilization in history--40 Days for Life.

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

Have there been any tangible results? You bet!

(Statistics as of May 2009)

• 678 campaigns total 

• 282 cities in all 50 states and other countries 

• 300,000+ participants
 
• 9,500+ church congregations involved 

• 650+ news stories
 
• 2,168 lives confirmed saved 

• 27 abortion workers quit 

• 5 abortion facilities closed

We are praying that, with God's help, this groundbreaking effort will mark the beginning of the end of abortion in the Inland Northwest, Washington State, and beyond.
