Dear 40DFL Friends,
Announcing dates for the Spring Lenten 2023 vigil! This campaign is most special to all because of this time of year. There is nothing more powerful than praying on the sidewalk in front of the abortion facility and standing witness to those who work there and those entering the facility. Miracles happen!
Already we have seen a turn-over in the new staff in 2023. We have also seen two new abortionists (one, a local resident in training). Recently we witnessed the second physician escorting a patient out for her ride home and then after work she was crying on the sidewalk as she waited for her ride. In addition, realtors have been on location several times as the facility is looking to sublease out space... And of course the news that Biden, through the FDA, has seen to it that pharmacies, CVS (Long's) and Walgreens) will stock and dispense the abortion pill.
So please come down and pray. You will be the one who is rewarded in time with the Lord and in winess to the miracles that occur down there.
Our accumulated prayers will see this Honolulu facilty shut down. God is more than able but we need you to come and fufill your calling to come down and pray.
Note on your calendar our traditional special event days--
- 9:00-11:00 am, Saturday, February 25, 2023, Opening Rally, Worship with Pastor David Tamala, Right-to-Life Speaker, Mayra Rodriguez. Abortion worker turned Pro-life!! Hear her story.

Rejoice! After nearly 50 years of cumulitive prayer, Roe was overturned on June 24, 2022! Your prayers and so many of those before us have been a part of this historical decision!
And here is some of the commentary --
Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsberg among her peers said that “Roe was illogical and bad law from the day it was decided.” Justice Samuel Alito said, “It is time to heed the Constitution, the Constitution confers no right of abortion. Bashing its logic into the rights of privacy.” The justices continued that “Abortion is not deeply rooted in our history or tradition. It is not deeply rooted in our Constitution. Roe was abuse of judicial authority, raw judicial power, egregiously wrong from the start, exceptionally weak reasoning with damaging consequences. We return the authority to the people and their elected representatives. Roe was always on a collision course with itself from the day it was decided. And Casey merely perpetuated its errors by short-circuiting the democratic process.”
The three dissenting Supreme Court justices stated that abortion is “sad, it is emotional” they did not address the logic or the illogic for Roe. They gave no proof for abortion being part of tradition in the U.S. If the dissent was read, a person would not even know what the case was about. There was no argument for Roe to stand.
Glory to God for this testimony heard and Roe reversed!
So what do we do in Hawaii where abortion to nine months of pregnancy was made legal, part of the State Constituion before Roe passed? We keep doing what we do best -- praying on the sidewalk!! Being the grassroots support to those who are praying "God give me a sign if you don't want me to have my abortion"; for the abortion workers to be set free and walk in freedom with our Lord; praying for healing for those who have had an abortion; praying for our pregnancy centers and all citizens of Hawaii would seek and know the truth of abortion and the giant marketing campaign to make money behind them. And ultimately to pray that the abortion law will be reversed in Hawaii. If the Roe law was wrong for the U.S. on a federal level when why would this change on a state level?
The natural response to Roe's overtuning is that we in Hawaii are going 365! Yes, 40 Days for Life 365! We will still hold our twice yearly vigils in the spring and fall with the same fanfare and church announcements but for those who want to be on the sidewalk, please come join us!
So please, commit your once weekly hour(s) of prayer please. Invite a friend(s).
Plese join us to fast, provide community outreach, and peacefully pray. Prayer changes the lives of all we pray for. It changes each of us who participate, a gift we receive when praying for one or more hours on the sidewalk.
