40 Days for Life Begins Today


Forty Days for Life, a community-based pro-life group, kicks off their campaign of prayer, fasting, and presence today. According to the group’s website:

Forty Days for Life takes a determined, peaceful approach to showing local communities the consequences of abortion in their own neighborhoods, for their own friends and families. It puts into action a desire to cooperate with God in the carrying out of his plan for the end of abortion in America.

The 40-day campaign tracks biblical history, where God used forty-day periods to transform individuals, communities . . . and the entire world. From Noah in the flood to Moses on the mountain to the disciples after Christ’s resurrection, it is clear that God sees the transformative value of his people accepting and meeting a forty-day challenge.

PRE-KICKOFF INTENTION:
For God’s blessing upon all participating in the fall 2008 40 Days for Life campaign.
