Largest 40 Days for Life ever! September 28 November 6
Take the leap of faith and get involved with 40 Days for Life
Have you been to pray at a 40 Days for Life vigil yet? You may ask, What do I do? or What sign should I bring? The answer is simple; the only sign you really need to bring is yourself, for you represent Gods love.
Concern about going to pray at the abortion facility is common and normal. 40 Days for Life campaign director Shawn Carney shared some thoughts at the national Students for Life conference.
What 40 Days for Life has witnessed (so far!)
There have now been eight coordinated 40 Days for Life campaigns since 2007, mobilizing people of faith and conscience in 337 cities across all 50 of the United States plus communities in Canada, Australia, England, Ireland, Northern Ireland, Spain, Denmark, Georgia, Armenia and Belize. |
During these unified efforts, participants witnessed countless blessings from God:
After so many years of legalized abortion, many people of faith are experiencing a renewed sense of HOPE!
Day 41 - November 7
Intention:
Pray that the witness of 40 Days for Life bears abundant fruit, and that we begin again each day to storm the gates of hell until God welcomes us into the gates of heaven.
Scripture:
On this rock I will build my church, and the gates of hell will not prevail against it.
-- Matthew 16:18
Reflection:
When we read this verse, we usually think that the Lord is promising that the church, which is His Body, will withstand all the attacks launched against it. Of course, that is true. But when we think about it more carefully, we realize that in a battle, the gates do not run out into the battlefield to attack the enemy. Rather, they stand still to defend the city from the enemy attacking it. So when the Lord says that the gates of hell will not prevail against the church, who is doing the attacking? It is the church storming the gates!
The church, all of God's people in Christ, is called to take the offensive, to run into enemy territory, and to gain ground for Jesus Christ. We do not wait for an invitation; we already have a command. We prepare, but we do not wait for circumstances to be perfect; we already have one who has gone before us.
During these 40 days, we have stormed the gates. We have taken the offensive. We have pushed forward the boundaries of the kingdom. And we must keep doing so, in numerous ways. Indeed, the gates of hell will not prevail. The gates of falsehood will flee in the presence of truth. The gates of sin will melt in the presence of grace. The gates of death will fall in the presence of the church, the People of Life!
Prayer:
Father, we praise you. We have heard the voice of your Son, and therefore we can make our voices heard. We have done battle with the power of evil, and therefore we can have compassion on those still within its grip. We have been freed from the kingdom of darkness, and therefore we can bear witness to your Kingdom of Light. May the witness of all your people through these 40 Days for Life bear abundant fruit, and may we begin again each day to storm the gates of hell until You welcome us into the gates of heaven. We pray in the victorious name of Jesus Christ our Lord, amen.

Another PP director/manager quites!
If you aren’t one of the 4,958 people already registered
to attend tonight’s BREAKTHROUGH teleconference and web
simulcast, this breaking news will give you all the
reason you need to rearrange your schedule and attend!
First there was Abby Johnson, former Planned Parenthood
clinic director and employee of the year, who had a
conversion during the 2009 fall 40 Days for Life and
became an outspoken pro-life advocate ...
Then there was Ramona Trevino, former Planned Parenthood
center manager who had a change of heart and quit her job
following this past spring’s 40 Days for Life campaign
outside her facility, contributing to the closure of
that office ...
Now, TONIGHT, you’ll hear directly from another former
Planned Parenthood manager who is about to blow the
whistle on her former employer of 17 years, exposing
the abortion chain’s dirty little secret ...
... and this person has just done something that no
former Planned Parenthood worker has EVER done!
I can’t tell you the specifics by e-mail because the
abortion giant does not yet know that our mystery
guest will be speaking out publicly on tonight’s
teleconference and web simulcast ... but you will NOT
want to miss this!
If you haven’t already registered, be sure to grab your
spot for tonight’s 9 PM Eastern (8 PM Central,
7 PM Mountain, 6 PM Pacific) BREAKTHROUGH teleconference
and web simulcast to hear this juicy story firsthand:
https://40daysforlifebreakthrough.com
For Life,
Shawn Carney
Campaign Director
40 Days for Life
PS: Can’t attend live? Go ahead and register anyway.
We’re planning to record every word and will send you
the audio recording as soon as the event is over.
PPS: Our conferencing service is doing everything
possible to handle the massive number of attendees,
but if you go to https://40daysforlifebreakthrough.com
and the registration page has been taken down, it’s
probably because we’ve reached maximum capacity.
Looking forward to tonight’s message!
