You don't have to be a senator or a judge to end abortion.
It's probably better if you aren't! God is using ordinary people like you and me to end abortion all the time.

If you're considering leading your community in 40 days of prayer and fasting, community outreach, and peaceful vigil in front of your local abortion facility...
...here are 10 reasons to take the plunge and lead a 40 Days for Life vigil:
- You'll save lives. 40 Days for Life vigils have saved more than 26,000 lives--that we know of! Former abortion workers report that when somebody shows up to pray outside an abortion facility, the no-show rate can go as high as 75%.
- To bring healing and mercy to those who have suffered the trauma of abortion. Many Christians keep quiet about abortion out of fear that women who have had abortions will feel judged. But many who have experienced abortion say they feel more condemned by silence. Your loving witness can be the first sign of mercy after abortion.
- You can foster conversions. 277 abortion workers have left their jobs in the abortion industry in response to a 40 Days for Life vigil.
- Prayer closes abortion facilities. 187 abortion facilities have closed their doors forever following a 40 Days for Life campaign.
- To make sure abortion-bound babies don't die alone. Even when you don't save a baby from abortion, that little girl or boy was loved because you were there. That simple act of prayer and witness might be the only act of love that child receives in his or her short time on this earth.
- You'll grow spiritually. More than 90% of 40 Days for Life participants report experiencing spiritual growth through their involvement.
- To serve as the conscience of your community. Abortion thrives in the shadows. Your peaceful, prayerful witness makes it impossible for your community to simply look away.
- It's just the beginning. Prayer on the sidewalk has led to numerous long-term fruits, including new pregnancy help centers, educational efforts, and year-round 40 Days for Life 365 vigils.
- To obey God. "Rescue those being led away to death; hold back those staggering toward slaughter" (Proverbs 24:11).
- You could end abortion in your community. Nearly 100 cities have seen their LAST abortion facility close following a 40 Days for Life campaign.
We'll provide you with comprehensive on-demand training modules and a headquarters team member to support you along the way.
Give it a shot. The only thing you have to lose is your local abortion facility!
