HOME: Welcome to 40 Days for Life

YOU can help save lives!

Kosciusko County will once again be participating in the national 40 Days for Life.

To sign up, visit the prayer vigil calendar.

 This fall, from September 28 to November 6, our community will join 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 groundbreaking effort will mark the beginning of the end of abortion in our county -- and throughout America.

What is 40 Days for LIfe?

40 Days for life is a peaceful prayer vigil outside the Planned Parenthood facility in Warsaw (630 S. Buffalo Street, Warsaw, Ind., across from the BP gas station. Why Planned Parenthood? Download a Planned Parenthood Fact Sheet) Volunteers sign up for hour-long time blocks to hold a sign in front of Planned Parenthood and pray.

40 Days Kick-off event

Wednesday, September 28 from 5:30-7:00 pm.
A 30-minute program will be held at the corner of Prairie and Buffalo Streets (empty lot next to Bob and Nelson Conley's Barbershop). Then we will walk to Planned Parenthood for the final hour of that day's prayer vigil (6-7pm).

Help us start the 40 Days with a huge impact. Our goal is for 100 people to join us that night. Picture 100+ prayer warriors outside of Planned Parenthood and the impression that would make on those who are driving by.

Prayer for 40 Days for Life
In preparation for the campaign individuals are meeting at Courthouse Coffee (next to Elder-Beerman) in Warsaw at 7:20 am every Thursday to pray. This is a 15 – 20 minute prayer time asking for God’s blessing on preparations for 40 Days for Life and the campaign itself. Everyone is invited to attend. Prayer meetings will begin Thursday morning, Aug 25.
