God's Word tells us....

Proverbs 24:11-12
Rescue those who are unjustly sentenced to die;
save them as they stagger to their death.
Don’t excuse yourself by saying, “Look, we didn’t know.”
For God understands all hearts, and He sees you.
He who guards your soul knows you knew.
      He will repay all people as their actions deserve.





And....you might be asking.....


WHAT IS 40 DAYS FOR LIFE?
(Next "official" campaign dates:  February 17 - March 28, 2010)

This is a
focused pro-life effort that consists of:

40 days of
prayer and fasting to end abortion
40 days of continuous peaceful, prayerful hours outside the clinic
40 days of community outreach to educate

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

The clinic:  While all aspects of 40 Days for Life are crucial in our effort to end abortion, the most visible component is the peaceful praying of our prayer warriors outside the local abortion facility...ours is located at:

WomanCare of Macomb Abortion Clinic
11474 Fifteen Mile Road
Sterling Heights, Michigan
 
[Clinic is located at 15 Mile/ Dodge Park roads--south side of 15 Mile and is the west end unit of strip mall)
