Barranquilla is one of 12 locations where 40 Days for Life vigils are taking place in Colombia.
"The clock strikes 12:00 am!" one of the Barranquilla team members wrote on Facebook early yesterday morning. "From here on out, it's 40 days of prayer to put an end to abortion in our country."
The campaign began with prayer at a local church. "Thank you, Lord, as we worship you before we begin," one volunteer prayed. "Thank you, Lord, for the gift of life. Thank you for instilling in our city this initiative."
Leaders invited more people to get involved. "Join us and save moms and babies. You can be a hero!"
