The 40 Days For Life campaign beckons.
Its staff and volunteers are calling you by name. Consider yourself invited.
If you have never gotten involved in one of their campaigns before, now is the time to do so.
Each year, 40 Days For Life runs two campaigns. One campaign is presently underway.
It began at the beginning of Lent, on Ash Wednesday, February 18. It runs until Easter. There is still time for you to join your local campaign, today.
WHAT IS 40 DAYS FOR LIFE?
The 40 Days For Life campaign received its start in Texas. David Bereit, the organization’s National Director, recounted the origins of their organization, in an exclusive interview for ProLife365.com.
The effort is centered around four pillars: prayer, fasting, a peaceful vigil, and community outreach.
Obviously, storming heaven with petitions to end the holocaust of abortion is our greatest weapon. Fasting is also a vital and necessary component as well.
If you have never gone, please join the peaceful vigil nearest you. This is an opportunity to pray directly outside an abortion mill in your area.
Lastly, you know people needing to hear the truth about abortion. Starting today you can be the difference in their lives. Don’t wait.
4 REASONS TO ACCEPT THIS INVITATION TO GET INVOLVED
1. Your Prayers Will Make a Difference
If we are not asking God to put an end to the slaughter of the unborn, then we are not doing our jobs as Christians. Your concerted effort to pray unceasingly during this 40 Days For Life campaign will only help fellow laborers.
You can offer specific prayers, beyond the generic, “Please God, end abortion.” Although that prayer is good, you might make precise pleas.
You could pray for the mothers contemplating abortion. For their boyfriends and others around those mother to support them during their pregnancies. Or for the abortionists to be converted. Or for their staff members to quit. Or for a blessing on the staff of 40 Days For Life. Or for the thousands of volunteers around the world joining in the campaign.
See? A lot of people could benefit from your prayers!
2. Your Fasting May Break Someone Free from the Culture of Death
Jesus said some demons can be driven out only by prayer AND fasting (Matthew 17:21). Your willingness to give up something good as a sacrifice for someone else makes for a beautiful petition to God. He will surely take notice.

3. Your Prayers Outside Your Local Abortion Mill May Save a Life!
If you have never prayed outside an abortion center in the past, consider doing so this 40 Days For Life campaign. Come experience it for yourself.
If you want to try to talk to those going inside, you may, it is your right in the public right of way. But there is no obligation.
Just being there to pray will be a powerful sign to those patronizing the clinic of death, as well as those working inside.
Those who have converted out of the abortion industry say having someone outside the abortion center praying drops their business by up to 30%. Wouldn’t that be great to have that effect?
Think of all the babies you could help to save. Think of all the mothers whose lives would have been devastated had they gone through with the abortion. You will have a bigger impact than you realize.
4. Your Promotion of the Pro-Life Cause Can Become Contagious
Your participation in the community outreach can be big or small.
Perhaps you know a friend or a family member who has been sitting on the fence of involvement as well. Maybe by your initiation, you two can get involved for the first time, together.
You could write a letter to the editor of your local newspaper in response to an article highlighting an aspect of the Culture of Death. You could leave pro-life literature in public restrooms or on public transportation.
Maybe you are distraught, watching the values of our nation disintegrate before your very eyes. Let today be the day you get in gear fighting back against the Culture of Death.
