40 DAYS FOR LIFE

A new campaign sweeping through U.S. cities is hoping to remind Americans that the most effective weapon in the fight against abortion is prayer.
As part of a 40 Days for Life initiative, more than 20 cities have signed up to participate in 24-hour prayer vigils outside their local abortion center. From September 26 to November 4, thousands of volunteers will spend over 960 hours interceding on behalf of children in the womb and their mothers and fathers. The model is based on the biblical 40-day periods in which God worked miracles through Noah, Moses, David, Elijah, and Jesus. Organizers have already experienced similar wonders in cities that conducted their own vigils earlier this year. As a testament to the event's impact, seven cities are reporting results that range from a 28 percent reduction in abortion to recruitment of over 1,000 pro-life volunteers. In Dallas, 14 women reconsidered their abortions, and neighboring Houston noted that area pregnancy care centers had over 120 appointments from moms who didn't follow through on their scheduled abortions.
