Stafford, TX
HOME: Welcome to 40 Days for Life

YOU can help save lives!

From February 22 to April 1, 2012, Christian Voices for Life of Fort Bend County will be leading our community to join with many other communities around the nation and the world for a faith-filled, groundbreaking, coordinated pro-life mobilization -- 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

We are praying that, with God's help, this groundbreaking effort will mark the beginning of the end of abortion in Fort Bend County -- and throughout America.

Take a stand for life

While all aspects of 40 Days for Life are crucial in our effort to end abortion, the most visible component is the peaceful prayer vigil outside the local Planned Parenthood facility.

You can help make a life-saving impact by joining our local vigil at:

Planned Parenthood
3727 Greenbriar Drive
Stafford, TX

(This satellite PP office offers chemical abortions, as well as birth control and other services.  It is located in a strip shopping center, near Murphy Rd (FM 1092). Participants will stand in the public right-of-way along the street, not near the clinic entrance.)

To sign up to participate in the vigil in Stafford, click on the "Vigil Schedule" link at the top of the page.

Prayers will also be offered at

Planned Parenthood
4203 Ave H
Rosenberg, TX   - also in a strip center (Chamber Plaza,  next to Wendy's)

To sign up to pray in Rosenberg, please contact Stacy Goodwyne at 713-775-4197, jamesgoodwyne@yahoo.com. or Marie McCoy  281-610-3986, ChristianVoicesforLifeFB@gmail.com.   The Rosenberg schedule may be viewed here.

Participants will stand in the public right-of-way along the street, not near the clinic entrance.

We will not have the opportunity to approach clients at these locations. We will provide signs that are mounted on a stake or can be worn on your back while you focus on prayer.  

The reactions of passersby have been overwhelmingly (although not unanimously) positive.   

Nervous about standing outside an abortion facility?  That's natural.
  But over 150,000 people have participated in past 40 Days for Life vigils. Others have prayed and ministered to women at abortion sites for many years. About 170 people participated in the 2011 vigil in Stafford.  A few people have continued to pray weekly at the Stafford location of Planned Parenthood, and another church group goes twice a month, with no problems. Our presence there is a powerful witness to the workers in the clinic as well as to the clients and passersby. Most people find it quite acceptable once they try it.

We have a clear legal right to be in the public right of way along the street, as long as we do not block any other pedestrians or any vehicles entering the property. 
Are you willing to take a step beyond your comfort zone to be a witness for the sanctity of life?  Please pray. Ask God if He is calling you to this action. Ask Him to give you the courage to say yes. He will be right there with you: “And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.” Matt 28:20. 

There is no sidewalk along the street in Stafford. Vigil participants will be standing in grass, and there is significant truck traffic on the street.  The Rosenberg location has cement, but is also located on a very busy street.  Neither locations are advisable for young children because of the traffic close by.

Community Outreach:   We have a pro-life door hanger that can be delivered in your neighborhood, or other neighborhoods.  It is an easy way to spread some good pro-life information, and raise awareness of abortion.  Click here to see the design, and let us know if you can help deliver!
